Yasodhara speaks about her twin soul Gautama, the uniqueness and wonder of the coming times, and her work with Gautama for the Earth.
Buddha and I, twin souls, are coming. From far off we watch, and slowly descend little Earth. For am I not Buddha to be, with my husband, my twin soul by my side - together at last my beloved children, children of Earth.
My beloved Gautama was the first, with his brother Maitreya, to see the vision of the enlightened and joy-filled Earth, to see the hope of the human race - and has he not held the Earth in golden embrace ever since? Every year bringing down that ether of golden light, that holy embrace of the divine to soothe troubled waters, to shine into the dullness of pre-dawn. For, humanity, this light is none other than the rising sun, the rising sun of the Christ him-herself - the Bodhisattva of cosmic proportions who incarnates through our physical sun when time is right. Time is right!
My beloved Gautama and Maitreya brought the hope of the dawn, they brought the path to the mountain top where you could climb and see the rising of the new day. The path was long and torturous, and only for the few steadfast and strong. But the message of the coming light gave hope.
Now the hope is realised!Time takes its cycles and rhythms. Now it is time for the new dawn. The Sun Christ is rising. The light of the inner worlds can be illumined in a way never seen before. The living light will be felt. Feel it in your heart, your bones! This light is living. Our Cosmic Christ awakens and so too does the heart - for ever does the Christ represent the heart. Everywhere in our universe is the heart beginning to awaken.
But you, dear Earth, your turn is now! Your time is now! Maitreya with his brother Gautama has prepared and is ready. He holds the heart of Earth, the living ether that binds all life through the life force of the heart. Do not underestimate the intensity and uniqueness of this time. It is no small feat for Maitreya to do this, to hold this - but his dharma it is. We all stand as the grail around him, to shine and support that living light, that living ether, that must incarnate into this Earth being.
Humanity - awaken to the unbelievable times you live in! For never in the memory of your multitude of lives on Earth has this light been so. Never. Take the opportunity and never look back. Those who choose the darkened shadows of past familiarity will leave Earth in time, so to enjoy the experiences of the longer path elsewhere than this Earth.
The light is coming, dear children. The light is dawning - it is the beginning of time in a way never felt before. It is the new journey. Lift your eyes to the cosmic sun that shines through our Bodhisattva on Earth from our Solar heart, our sun. Feel the nourishment of life and light - you will never again feel the emptiness of darkness if you just open yourselves to this living heart beat.
I am come with my beloved. From far away we watch, we pray, and we hold in stillness the mind and heart of Earth - for the dawn begins this Wesak. You will see the light. I will be there, beloved.
In the Light of Lady Yasodhara
