International Light Link 2000

February 10-13
Chiang Mai, Thailand

Instead of my writing a report on the International Light Summit 2000 as I have done in the past, I invited participants to report on their experineces. The following are a few of the feedbacks we had from the 45 participants from 16 countries.

Michael Lightweaver International Coordinator

England Well Hello there,
First of all it was great to be with you in Thailand. I have emailed quite a few of the people I met there on an individual basis. As far as I was concerned, it was like finding myself in a close family I didn't know I had, (at least not consciously). I keep coming across facets that I didn't know or recognise before.

It has strengthened no end my enthusiasm to embrace being a Lightworker, whereas before I was taking to the role a bit tentatively. Someone I know in UK who has been into Lightworking for some while couldn't quite work out how it was that I didn't know. It shows how different perceptions of the same circumstances can be at such variance between people who are nominally on the same wavelength.

Israel I just want to say in writing how much I appreciate all your very effective work in organizing the conference--and also your whole relaxed, loving and humorous beingness. The words 'thank you' aren't really enough! And of course I want to sign up for next international Light Link in Nov. 200l in Jerusalem, OK? Since coming home, I have had a series of 3 bouts with stomach/intestinal flu, each time feeling worse than before. SO with the help of a therapist/friend who teaches Kabbalah and also does a kind of spiritual therapy through dream and personal artwork analysis--I have begun to find out what this is all about. Of course even at age 70 we don't stop deepening our development, and it seems the intensified energies at Chaing Mai pushed me into having to relate to my fears about letting myself become more spiritually open. That seems to be why I had difficulty in the beginning, getting myself ready to go in the first place. Well! Never a dull moment. Those combined energies at the conference, plus the intensity of this millenium change, seem to have had some effect! Nevertheless I am even more glad now, that I went, because I'm really working on this problem and it already feels like a big relief. With love and deep appreciation for all that you are doing,

Israel Beloved family of the Light,
I'm now back home trying to catch up over 500 messages on the email (I was clever enough to create hotmail address for the trip but not clever enough to remember its password. I'm sure it was meant to be like was. :-) anyway, my local server company were kind to keep copy of all the messages for me.

I believe by now some of you are already back home and some are keep on spreading the light wherever they are.

I wish to share with each and any of you how delighted I was to meet you all. The love and compassion we shared is my Light and inner energy source to be cherished forever. To the some of you with which I had the privilege to speak directly, and to all the rest, I wish to thank again for the encouragement I gained during these magical last fortnight. I beg all of you to keep also this part of the world in your mind, know that it is you and your compassionate support that allowed us to do the work. I wish to be considered as your messenger on the physics dimension. We are maybe separated on this planet but we are the One by all means. I wish to thank all participants for returning back to my life, it is such a joy to walk along the path with all of you. I love you all. Next Year in Jerusalem! (November 2001) Insh'Allah!

Love, Hagit Ra'anaan Kiryat-Uno, Israel h-raanan@netvision.net.il  

Malaysia My dear beloved Brother & Sisters of the Light, I just wanted to say how much I love you all, my Light Link family... All thanks to you both for making it possible for me to see and be with my soul family for awhile. When I got home to KL, I really got so "home-sick", I could cry!!! I missed all of you so much! Of course the most powerful bonding (which was almost instantaneous when we all met for the first time for many of us in 3D) was at the sacred room on the 5th Floor at Amari Rincome. I'll never forget those beautiful, loving and most sacred and light-filled days up there. And at the end when we said goodbye, the most loving song with the purest intent I've ever participated in while holding a candle in one hand and looking deep into the other's eyes, is still humming in my heart: "All I ask of you is that you remember me always loving you..."

Palestine First of all i'm really sorry for not writing you in the past days, but i had some big troubles in my computer and i used to go to the internet cafe for few checks on the e-mail and my father was tired a bit for a while in which i needed to do him so many things and it really toke long times, beside i didn't know if you are already home in which you can check youor e-mail, i'm really sorry for that..........cheer up Well, i guess you know how it was for me "thailand", you know that i called it heaven on earth, and it was more beautiful in my eyes when i got back home, we were really in heaven, for the first week after being back home, i was lonley, my family were still in Egypt and it was really hard for me to stay home alone after being companied with you "the big family" for most of the time, and they got back a week after my arrival and only then i felt back to gaza...... i talked to many of the friends here about thailand and the beautiful life there and the budism and most of them thought that i converted to be baudist, i don't care......i really wanted to tell them about it cause most of the people here thinks that budha is god for the budhist,any way i had long debates... it was really a wonderfull experience for me,i really do appreciate your big helps to me, you gave me the chance to live in real peace for few days................thank you love,

The entire story from beginning to end has unfolded for me a as an incredible tale of Great Love, Higher Energy, and above all of a vast and Highly All-Knowing BE-ing of Great Wisdom and Unconditional Love who watches over us all and guides our every move.

It started by my being invited by my Internet friends, as always, to a Light Link Gathering. As always, I would wistfully sit on this end and look at the fees involved as WISH with all my might that I would be able to go as well. It sounded so exciting and my heart truly wanted to meet all the loving people I so often chatted to on the Web.

Year after year, I would watch event after event come and go and send much Love and Light to those who could go to do the wonderful energy work at the gatherings. Afterwards, I would read all their experiences and rejoice that they had such a wonderful time together. I understood that it was not the right divine time time for me to be there.

The e-mail arrived in February 2000 with 20 other e-mails all tumbling into my computer's in-box, some fast, some slow. I answered Michaels invitation to Light Link 2000 in Chiang Mai, Thailand, South East Asia with the usual " I wish I could go ". Somehow, this time Michael did not accept the answer and offered to put my name on the list and hold the INTENT of joining the group in Chiang Mai. We felt we would leave the end result open with love and intent and see what Spirit would do with the situation.

Nothing happened the first few days and we kept faith and held the INTENT. Nothing happened in the next few days either. Still we held the intent with Love. Then again, another e-mail tumbled into my computer's in-box. It was from MIchael. Some dear soul had felt that Spirit guided her to pay for 3 of the names on the list. Mine was one of them. Wow! I was so EXCITED ! I flew home to tell everyone that my LightLink fees had been paid. Their faces said it all. No one could at first believe this, but it was so. I felt a Cosmic smile and a Great deal of Love coming through. I just KNEW that I was going to be in Chiang Mai.

A few days later my passport that I had been waiting for 2 years came through ! Something was definately happening - something beyond the control of humankind - and once again I felt a huge Cosmic smile and Great Love. Soon after that another kind soul paid my air ticket and everyone I knew here at home was speechless. This was an event beyond words!

Soon the definate feeling of my being in Chiang Mai materialised and I found myself at the Amari Rincome Hotel in Chiang Mai. I was excited beyond words ! I was so gratefull to be given this honour of being allowed to attend a LightLink Gathering, soon to meet people I spoken to for 3 years and never met. I also knew there was work to be done. I had to get to a certain temple. The reason was not clear but I was getting used to working with Spirit in Spirit's way and trusted I would know the reason at the right time.

As sson as I had refreshed myself I stepped out of the Hotel and walked down the street, much to the dismay of the little Tuc-Tuc drivers who wanted to give me a ride. I felt I needed excercise and proceeded to get lost. It was not long before a little Tuc-Tuc found me and took me to a Thai man who would take me to a Temple. I had no idea if it was the right Temple but just kept myself in the awesome Love of this Loving being who had re-arranged the Cosmos to bring me here.

The Temple was Lovely. High ontop of a mountain, it overlooked Chiang Mai. It was enormous and had many bells and dragons. Somehow I felt quite at home and looked out over the natural bush covering the mountains. I was listening to the tinkle of the bells in the wind when I heard another tinkle of breaking glass as the monks were throwing their rubbish into the natural waterfalls. The message was clear and I felt the pain that Earth was feeling as her beauty was being desecrated even in places of Worship. I wandered between all the different shrines and buddhas until I felt the correct energy inviting me to sit down. I did so and thoroughly enjoyed meditating and worshipping the Divine Cosmic Energy through the shape of a Buddha in another part of the Globe. What FUN !!! What a Cosmic game !!! Spirit Worshipping itself through us in different forms and shapes in different places !!! The Buddha Energy and I exchaged much Love and delighted in each others' company. I heard a gentle chanting and opened my eyes to see some monks sitting with me and simply enjoying the moment. What a GIFT !!! I felt that all peoples should enjoy the variety we had been given. The variety of not only plants and animals, but also of the different forms of manifestation of Worshipping Spirit - it is PURE JOY, PURE LOVE. That is all there is and all that matters in the end. How could anyone ever make battles of it all ? I thanked Spirit for this insight too.

Feeling very Happy and Free, I returned to the Amari Hotel where I Joyously met one incredible person after the next. With many hugs, great excitement and enormous smiles, I recognised member after member of my Cosmic family. It was amazing to 'meet' these entities I had been working with on Higher planes, now in front of me in physical bodies. I couldn't stop telling them how DELIGHTED I was, how I had missed them, and how GRAND it was to be able to sit and feel them, talk to them and to hug them ! The Cosmic Smile broadened into Cosmic Laughter and I felt as if all of Heaven was Dancing and Laughing with me. It was GLORIOUS !!!

After much Joy and little sleep - it was impossible to sleep for long having had one's energy boosted so high with Joy - I wanted to go down and make sure everyone was still there. Sure enough, as I walked into the breakfast room, I saw 45 Angels all chatting, laughing and having a delightful time at breakfast. I flew in to join them.

The LightLink itself was wonderful. Michael took us on an exploration of seeing how connected we all were to each other and many remembrances started coming back. Pierre got me really going when he made the most BEAUTIFUL Light Pillars in different colours and tones on chakra points of an energy spiral, and I knew I was home. Heaven on Earth ! I saw we had planned this all on a Higher level, that we had gathered in a Cosmic circle in the Heavens and sang songs of rememberance to each other and vowed to never forget each other when we were on this Earth with the veil of forgetfullness drawn over us. We hadn't. Our adventure had succeeded and we were consciously able to do on Earth what we had done on Higher Cosmic Levels. Spirit's smile had belended into all of us and we had all become One again.

As we created a Flower Spiral ontop of the Light Spiral, we wove energy layer after energy layer into the ethers, into the atmosphere, into the Earth consciousness. Madre, a Crystal Skull presided over all our Love and Joy. Quietly but knowingly she stayed in the centre of the circle of Light and Flowers contributing her knowledge and energy to the occasion. Angels, Ascended Masters and all Glorious Beings of Light and Love joined us and we sang, laughed and danced our way through 3 Glorious days. We anchored energies wherever we were invited to and had great fun in doing it also. Spirit had become indistinguishable from us and our laughter.

We planted a Peace Pole and sang Healing Songs for ourselves, people and the Earth. A new beginning had been birthed, some of us had participated in this already on Higher levels and had visions and feelings of a Gold and Silver baby bird being hatched. It was the symbol of the Silver Dove Congress.

We shifted to the Chiang Mai Garden Hotel as a group. Here some of the Light Link Group left and new people came in. The energy changed subtly. We were drawn into 5 days of sharing knowledge, resources, ideas, skills and everything we felt we had to share. We shared each others joys, each others pains and listened to each other's work in the different areas of Earth. Spirit's smile had shifted and we were changing - imperceptibly, subtly, but definately changing. We opened new access channels to each other, we healed ourselves and in doing so we healed each other and were healing Earth too.

Taking our leave of each other was mixed between feeling that we would never be apart, we would always carry parts of each other within us and sadness at not being able to hug the physical bodies of each other the next day. Being disciplined and knowing our work still had to be finished, we flew to our different destinations we had originally come from. Spirits smile was full of Love as Spirit watched us carry the Light back with us, a much brighter Light than we came with, a Light of Healing, Love, Joy and Laughter. A Light that ALL is actually perfect and that Spirit is with us, guiding, watching over us and Earth and Loving far, far more than could ever be conceived.

Thank you Spirit. Sha'Aara Soleil Tzaneen, South Africa js81@pixie.co.za  

Thailand It is my first time with Light Link Conference. My expectation before meeting the group is just that they are a small group of foreigners from many countries I have never met before. Most of the foreigners I met were eager to explore the land, the shop, the society or the professionals. Never before I met with a group foreigners that touch my heart by their higher consciousness and sincere goodwill for mankind. The atmosphere of the meeting was warm with kindness. It make me feel that there is still hope for this cruel world to turn into the lovely and peaceful world. I hope we will meet again in the future.

USA - Arizona Greetings, from Arizona ! Since I left Thailand, I have been dwelling in the incredible energy of Love, Light, and Joy, and till now I was not able to express myself in words! My communication skills are back , so let me share what my inner Voice of God is whispering to me : The Universal wisdom: I AM THAT I AM - presents the essence of our existence, the purity of intention, and the highest energy of love. The compassion of the soul is beauty, so : Look into your eyes! Look around you! The purpose of our soul is joy. So be it! Rejoice! And first of all LOVE YOURSELF Be gentle with yourself! Honor the Goddess within! There is only one Katharine, one Michael, one Laurie, one DaEL, one ShaAara…one…one…one...one...etc. YOU ARE ALL SO UNIQE ! \ You are here on the journey, and it is a very secret to you. Of course you can not come here in your essence and your totality, and experience your emotionality. So go within, as often as you can, and you will absolutely know, that everything, everything is within you ! As my DEAR SAINT German says: "There are many Mudras in you"- call it for! Play, feel yourself with beauty and music. Be pure as a child! YOU ARE SO UNIQE ! I miss you all very much! But I know, and so do you, we will meet again: at the right time and the right place. So be it! Walk it gently and with love.

USA * New Mexico To ALL our dear Brothers and Sisters It has been such a delight that so many of you have shared with us all your good thoughts and news. Kathrine and I have just returned from a visit to Tucson ARZ, we have certainly been receiving gifts of forward movement since the LL conf. thanks to all our beautiful new friends and now their compliment to us. I would like to share with you some of the processing we have been going through since we departed in the physical. (spiritual, never!!) Are any of you familiar with a Product from Japan and their wonderous world-wide work EM or EMRO (Effective Microorganisms) http://emtech.org there are other web sights all over the world. Kathrine has been using EM in experimental gardening on her farm and EMX internally as a health drink for the past 4 to 5 yrs.. Amazing results for many. These are very concentrated products. So easily shipped. We have been meeting with the company president, Dr. Higa (creator of Em) and his staff in Okinawa Japan, now in Tucson this is why we could not stay for beautiful Katarina's "Dove Seminar" we felt sadden by this, but needed to keep these other commitments. The EM main products are in established use all over the world, South Africa, Brazil, Asia, Hawaii, Middle East, Europe and a few States in the US, cleaning up wastes from waters, community dumps, sewage. They are teaching others about growing healthy, more abundant foods, healther animals (less odors and flys) SURVIVAL of our WORLDS NEEDs thru recycling our wastes including pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and extremely toxic wastes. We were shown a hands-on-school for the deaf and blind in Tucson, that has been learning Ecology through recycling there lunch school garbarge, growing their own vegatables, and making a fertilizer " Bokashi" they sell to their familes and community so they too can recycle their garbage for planting and septi/sewer systems to help clean-up our waters. This also brings in extra money for their needs. This school competes with other regular schools in the area for best, vegs. etc. They received the reward for the most outstanding produce. Look what this does for the little self-esteems of all children and teachers. EM co. is now producing a teachers ecology manual for this program, out in April. As we sat before Dr Higa and the Tucson staff which included the females doing all the school and behind- the-scenes projects, we began to feel the feminine powers increase, one more for us girls!! The secretaries congratulated us and decided to form a "womens forum" and several will be visiting Kathrines oasis this summer. Which may be designated as the US East Coast EM model center. Hooray !!! The outstanding non-profit company, Em, has given freely to most of the needy countries including, staff to teach the process of using it. As you can see, our enthusiasm is more than we can contain, almost.

USA - New York Thank you so much for bringing us all together in Thailand. it was a truly blessed gathering & we felt priviledged to be part of that special energy of love. your gentle leadership graced the path for the unfolding of many good works to come & the rekindling of friendships & reuniting of those we have travelled with before. there was not a stranger in the house! you eased the initial human reticence in the early stages of the coming together and helped make it possible to blossom a garden of individual souls come together in a circle of oneness. thank you for listening to your guidance. that is so very important & you remind us all how important the job of "connector' & "seedplanter" is in this garden. you could very well teach the art of listening to inner guidance & feel quite fulfilled that you have done a most important work on earth. All was quite successful- & for tom & i, even tho we had a challenge/ opportunity to grow that took us away from part of the conference time, we felt connected to the circle totally. we learned Thai time- & i frankly miss it now that i am back in the NY/east coast crunch time. We did have the honor of working with Arthur & AMU & Monica with the children at the orphanage outside chiang mai and it was a gift of indescribable proportions-one of those 'we-came-for-one-thing-and-got-more-than-imagined' experiences. I have finally landed (almost)in NY to reopen our reiki & counseling practice. our clients are sooooo happy. Also will go into the studio & begin recording an album of peace songs and will go to maylasia next yr to sing at chin's peace conference. will meet Joan later this yr in Maui to work together & a visit to s. Africa is in the works as well as England-so you see the things that are set in motion from your listening to spirit! Am working on the photos this week-have seen some prelims that are doozies! would you like copies? it would be our pleasure to send you a set-they are wonderful of the circle & the peace pole planting ceremony. also i will be working on the article for the NY magazine about the conference & would like to quote you. so if you like, let me know what your point of view experience was-both in organizing & in the experiencing & after feelings. many blessings and hugs of appreciation in light & love

florence & tom

USA * North Carolina Hi there Dear LL Family: I want to thank all of you for the opportunity to reunite by gathering in Chaing Mai for our very special reunion. I came away so enriched with renewed spirit of the ONENESS and its conscious unfoldment in our lives. I am still processing the experience at many levels and feel it may take me a very long time to acknowledge all of the implications of those few days together. Please note time timing of this event. From my heart, I love you dearly.
