An Open Letter to the Facilitators, Graduates and Friends of the Flower of Life

by Drunvalo Melchizedek

October 2002

Once again changes within the Flower of Life Organization necessitate my writing to all of you involved in the Flower of Life work and the Mer-Ka-Ba meditation. I realize that the demands of Life at this time in history are extreme, and I further acknowledge that you, the people who are using the Mer-Ka-Ba light body in your daily lives are responsible for significant positive changes in the world by the lives you are living.

I wish to thank you for your dedication to Great Spirit and by writing this letter, I hope to unify our group to an even stronger level of commitment and integrity.

In the past there were Flower of Life Facilitators who believed that the FOL Organization was not necessary and wanted to go their own way. And so on January 1st 2002, it was allowed, as a one time option and privilege, that a trained certified FOL facilitator of the Original Long Format Workshop (only) could continue to teach the Flower of Life information using the old long version tapes as their format or with no format at all, without being connected directly with the Flower of Life organization. This was a privilege that I was giving them. About six facilitators out of several hundred that have been trained chose that option.

Since that time serious problems have developed from some of these independent facilitators and new changes are now being put into place. Two of these six independent facilitators have decided to extend their privilege to include training new facilitators or "their own teachers" to teach the Flower of Life. This was never part of the privilege. The privilege was only to continue teaching the Flower of Life (although they could not use any of the official FOL advertising or workshop materials besides the old long version tapes.)

This must come to an end as these independent facilitators were never trained to train other teachers. We have no way of knowing if these people who are being trained actually know what they are teaching. It has taken a great deal of time and energy to develop an official teaching program, and I feel certain that these independent facilitators do not have that expertise.

Further, there is one independent facilitator who is working out of South America who is not suppose to be working there. Why? Because it was determined in the beginning that Latin America, from Mexico to the tip of South America was to be excluded from this privilege option. Simply because in that region the certified FOL facilitators are still working with both, the Original Long Format and the 2000+ Format workshops. Therefore, no independent FOL facilitator should be working in that area. Any person not connected directly with the Flower of Life organization is illegally working if they are anywhere in Latin America.

If you are wanting to be a student of the Flower of Life training in Latin America or anywhere else for that matter, go to the only official Flower of Life web site at www.floweroflife.org and look to see if that facilitator's name is on the list. If it is not, then that person is not a certified trained teacher authorized by the Flower of Life organization. Beware, for they may tell you almost anything to get you to be their student.

And please be aware that if you take or already have taken one of these independent workshops or any workshop that was not sanctioned by the Flower of Life organization, you are not considered a FOL graduate and therefore you do not have access to the advanced FOL curriculum.

Why is it so important to choose a certified trained FOL teacher? Because there are many people in the world who are printing flyers and advertising themselves to the world as certified trained teachers either of the Flower of Life meditation or the Mer-Ka-Ba (Mer-Ka-Bah or Mer-Ka-Vah) meditation and in fact they have no training whatsoever. They have simply attended a FOL workshop or in some cases have just read my books (The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life, Volumn I & II) or have "said" that some channeled entity has taught them, and then presented themselves to the world as an expert simply so they can make money and/or have power over their students. We even know that a person in South America wrote and published his own book using the FOL copyrighted materials and is actually teaching his own version of the workshop.

This is not in integrity. It is also dangerous. If I am to be responsible to you, I must make certain that the integrity of the information reaches you intact. At the moment, there are many charlatans out there claiming to know "everything about the Mer-Ka-Ba". You must be careful and use discrimination.

Further, some of these teachers have changed the actual meditation to include information that is not based in Reality but only within their minds. Since the Mer-Ka-Ba is the energy field and contains the Sacred Geometry that created the Universe, the misuse of this energy could have tremendous negative consequences, not only to the earth but also to you personally. Just look at what happened in Atlantis and the problems that continue up even to this day because of a few people who "thought" they knew what they were doing but obviously did not.

In one case a woman escaped from an insane asylum and began teaching the Mer-Ka-Ba meditation. She had no training whatsoever. But people believed her and she acquired about three hundred students before the authorities found her and put her back in the institution.

In another case, a man from Australia came to my workshop one time and told me that he had received all this information that I was teaching from Sai Baba in India. Then, without permission, he began to teach this information around the world, and then changed his story saying that he had received all this information, not from me, but from Thoth. He has changed the actual meditation so many times now that it is simply outrageous. The list goes on and on.

So in order for me to remain in integrity with you, I am informing you of this situation with the independent facilitators (and other teachers who claim that they know the Mer-Ka-Ba meditation) so that you will not be harmed. The solution is simple. Just go to the Flower of Life web site and check to see if they are a real teacher/facilitator or not.

And in order to correct the situation with the independent facilitators, because of the problems and the harm that is being transmitted through these teachers by creating more teachers, I am rescinding their privilege to be an independent facilitator of the Flower of Life teachings. It was an experiment that did not work. From now on, only teachers that are trained and certified with Flower of Life Research will be sanctioned. I hope you understand how important this is.

If you are one of these Flower of Life independent facilitators, I am asking that you no longer teach the Flower of Life information independently and definitely do not train other teachers. To be clear, you are no longer sanctioned by the Flower of Life or by myself to teach this copyrighted information. If you wish to continue to teach this information, then contact the Flower of Life organization to find out if you qualify for certification. If you do not want to be part of the Flower of Life organization, then I suggest that you find another way to earn right-livelihood that does not harm humanity.

In Love and Service
