At the 10th Gathering of Light in Monterey, CA, this group picture was taken. And now that I look at it again, I realize even more how precious these snapshots, these ‘moments in time’ are…
And then, too, we had a bonfire. In 2007 this fire carried our wishes, prayers and blessings up to the heavens. Little white blotches of burned paper that moved up higher and higher…

Again, from my notes from the Gathering of Light in 2004.
Julian also talked about changes in the universe and the earth…
Julian:
The whole universe in is change, in all its aspects.
These changes feed each other throughout the universe, the earth and the world. Earth-changes have to put nature first, as nature nurtures man. A major change occurring is not always a disaster. Don’t view changes as negatives. Hold hands with nature and the industrial abilities to bring back the balance.
Think quality instead of quantity!
Nature needs man to appreciate it!
Know that there is a future and it is good!

I am always struck with awe reading through my notes or listening again to tapes of Julian classes. They were so very appropriate at the time Julian delivered the information for the first time; and yet, so many years later, the information is still up to date!!
The 7th Gathering of Light took place in Monterey, CA, October 1-3 2004. The very place the next Gathering of Light will be celebrated in just a couple of weeks…
Julian talked a lot about change. Changes within ourselves as well as changes in our world.
Julian:
Stuff!!
We all go through stuff; individually, but also the earth and the Universe.
And as the frequency of the energies gets higher with the Fall equinox, you cannot be who you were ~ it is time to change. It is time to get a new outlook on ourselves and on our world. You get glimpses into Self revealing your part in situations; no more chips on the shoulder…
Do it now! It is time. It is time to release the new person that is inside.
Changes are not always going to be what you like ~ it is going to be what you need.
You have been given the blessing of change to step out of the rut. You have been given this elevation to use it! You will use the higher sensorium more and more as the senses are elevated.
It is important to believe in yourself! If you don’t, how can anybody else?
Take control of your life.
Count your blessings every day!
Julian also gave some ‘how-to’ advice as to how to make the changes in our lives:

From my notes of the Gathering of Light in September 2003, here is what Julian said about Destiny:
“Destiny is the road chosen before you came in. Free will choice gives shape and form to that path.
Man makes his decisions to shape and form that path based upon his desire, because that is what makes him happy. God’s desire is for man to be happy. Happiness is to be content with yourself.
God is an unending energy that cannot be stopped and that is permeating everything that ever was, is or will be.
Your superconscious mind is your plug into God’s switchboard.
You have the right to accept or reject anything sent to you. You have the right to accept or reject any thought you may have in the past. You have the right to change you mind.
It is not about where you have been, it is about where you are going.
Unless you are willing to state your need, it is not going to be answered. When you state your need, accept that the situation can change, and that the need can be fulfilled.
You set your goals, but accept that the paths toward the goal can vary.
The ultimate goal is to be one with the Creator; but there are multiple paths to get there.”

At the Gathering of Light in September 2003, Julian gave us a new mantra to live by…
Julian started out by saying that the three key words for this day and age are:
~~ Words are easy, but do you believe or accept what you are saying?
Mentalism is going to be very prominent in this energy. Mind is all! You can think yourself into something, or you can think yourself out of something…
You have been given the right to design yourselves through thought.
It is your responsibility not to be fearful about it. What happens is not important. How you handle what happens is important!
This energy right now is erasing borders, barriers, fences…
Curious about this new mantra Julian gave us? Here it is:

October 13, 2002, at the closing of the Gathering of Light, Julian encouraged all of us to take charge of ourselves and our lives in this new energy. And even though it was 7 years ago, I still feel that Julian’s words are as true today as they were then…
Here is what he said:
The future is determined by your attitudes. Your fears have been dissolved, and even if your path is rocky, it is still your path ~ it is not life ‘being mean to you’.
Take charge of you!
When you accept Light, you accept your ability to see. You accept your ability to see your way.
And as long as you learn something new every month that will bring you further ~ you will be a new person at least once a month!
Anne Claire
Here is a simple ‘to do list’ Julian gave us at the Gathering of Light in 2002…
Anne Claire
“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:
Anne Claire
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:
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”. ~
