“I am me ~ and how great that is!”
Not my words, but Julian’s at the Gathering of Light in 2002…

All the classes and workshops June and Julian have taught have one thing in common: they all raised our awareness. And as our awareness increased, at some point we need to take a close look at ourselves, and the question becomes: Do I like myself?

I have experienced this as a theme throughout a lot of classes. At the Gathering in September 2001 Julian brought it up again: “Do you like you?”
He continued insisting that we learn to like ourselves, that we see where we are dragging our feet in the process, and that we start making the changes that will permit us to like ourselves more. And then, that we help others to learn to like themselves.

It is like a pebble in the pond…
When we learn to like ourselves more, we can help other to like themselves more; from there we can learn to like our world more ~ and so on!
As Julian said at the time: “Take hold of your life; bring the power back to you to shape your life and the world.”

At the Gathering of Light in 2002 Julian continued with this theme, saying that the realizations we had made inwardly would be expressed outwardly; going from self realization to self proclamation.

He also told us that we would keep on discovering things about ourselves ~ things we are happy with, and things we will want to change. In this ongoing process, what matters most is how much you accept who you are…
Julian: “Be, think, and accept who you are”

Julian: And as you reevaluate you, know that:

• I am going to come out a better person.
• I am going to know me better, than I have ever known myself.
• I am me ~ and how great that is!

I think all of us remember September 2001…
The Gathering of Light was planned on September 28 through 30, and was most definitely ~ at least somewhat ~ overshadowed by the events of 9/11. Events so severe that not only did it need all of our attention; it needed the full, focused attention of the Angelic Realms as well.
So. where we were all looking forward to gain Julian’s perspective on what had happened, June told us later that she was really hoping Julian would be available, as he had not been with her since the attack on the twin towers.

As it turns out, Julian did come to the Gathering of Light.

Looking at my notes of that Gathering, Julian’s comments were, as always, enlightening:

“The year 2001 is a year of eruption in order to bring things that need to be looked at to the surface. Those are things that were created by attitudes over years; things that were created by every type of judgement; things that were created by every inconsiderate action from everybody in the Universe.”

“These things need to be looked at because in this age, hatred will not be tolerated! It will self destruct, be eliminated or nature will intervene.”

Julian also gave us five important things to remember when we want to help after any incident; being it one on a world-scale, or one in more personal spheres…

Julian: When you want to help:

• Do not become the incident.
• Know that you can help.
• Create normalcy. In order to do so, you start with bringing back normalcy into your own life.
• Step into your Highest counterpart, the Light of yourself, and you will react properly.
• Laugh!! As laughter is a very important healing tool.

One line really stuck in my head at the time, and immediately jumped out again as I was reading my notes:

~ Don’t wait for something grandiose to happen ~ simply say: “Bless our world”. ~

October 17, 1999. It must have been the second Gathering of Light, and as far as I can remember, the first one where June/Julian gave a presentation.
Reading through my notes of that talk, there is one thing Julian emphasizes a number of times…

Julian:
What you are moving into is what you are born with ~ it is what you are meant to be!
Being here in solid form is constantly in motion and constantly in change. Therefore it is good to work with the seasons:

• You burst forth.
• You work with you.
• You reap the harvest of you.
• You rest with you.

Our everyday life is your key to Heaven; the key to a good life is laughter… And laughter is a bubble in the heart…
Everything you do, every breath you take influences the Universe. That which you send out will come back to you. It all comes back to what you are doing with your life. The responsibility is returned to Man in this age. So when you think of an incident, ask yourself what was your part of/in it…

Light is in you! You attract light and you give light!
Sharing within the circle of Light becomes easier and easier, and it will give a sense of oneness. You are unique, but feeling one in the Light.

To me, this is still a beautiful, inspiring message ~ one worth hearing!
I am glad to have the opportunity to once again experience that great sense of oneness and sharing of and in Light at the next Gathering of Light!
