Kuthumi Fest 2010

Namaste!

Is there any other word we could use to begin this celebration? I don't think so!

Welcome to the FOURTH Kuthumi Fest!

This year's Kuthumi Fest has been a long time coming and has slipped from its traditional July timing. But it does so to line up with the release of our latest book "Pythagoras of Samos", the sequel to our beloved epic "Pharaoh Thutmose III". Please drop by the Kuthumi Books page to read more about it and order your copy.

Enough about us though and now let's just get on with the party for Kuthumi! This years Kuthumi Fest once again is blessed to have some amazing contributors from all over the world including the US, South Africa, India, the UK, Portugal, France, New Zealand and even a fellow Australian. As well as some traditional contributors such as Louise with her beautiful opening address, and Anthony and Jessie with their paintings we have some first timers talking the leap to share themselves and their creations.

What really has set this years Kuthumi Fest apart is the abundance of words! I don't recall any year where we have had so many written pieces as well as books to feature. I really shouldn't be so surprised as this is what my work with Kuthumi has really been all about!

So I invite you all to settle back and dive into this richness that is this year's Kuthumi Fest.




Opening Address by Kuthumi through Louise Sarezky

Greetings and honor to you, Dear Human Angels, from your loving friend Kuthumi, on this wonderful occasion, the Kuthumi Festival. I have to laugh a bit here, for I must say to you that this celebration is a celebration of YOU also, of all that you have accomplished in the new and expanding energy, in the new civilization you are creating on Earth, But, oh, Kuthumi, you might say, this world feels like it is falling apart and there is great chaos and danger on the planet which doesn’t seem to be abating, but seems to be growing in each moment. You, Dearest ones, know the answer to this, that it is you, powerful beings who are creating the unfolding of a new civilization on Earth. It is You, Conscious Humans, who have accepted to take on moving into a new and unprecedented energy on Earth, in order to ultimately bring the planet into balance. Of course, this balance is still a ways off at this time, and a certain amount of decrystalization, chaos, if you will, must take place before this balance is achieved.
 We had spoken of great change a number of years ago, and we asked you if you wanted to take part in this experience. Yes! Yes!! You each said with surety and joy. At that time, no one, not human beings, or those of us working with you on our side of the veil, knew exactly how this change would occur, only that it would, and now it IS. Do you see, Dearest Ones what powerful creators you are, for it is indeed You who have made the choice to create a new energy on Earth and without your dedicated and loving sense of purpose, the planet would have fallen into a great state of decay and stagnation by this time. The activity around you, that you see and feel every day and that may appear to be disastrous and frightening at times is part of growth, and that is a good alternative to stagnation. Chaos, as you might call it, is the result of Energy moving openly and freely, and as we have mentioned that it would be doing, in every direction at once, and in this case, moving through old stuck energy that needs to be freed up. And when this ever- expanding new energy comes upon an old stuck energy that requires movement it begins to move through that energy and to disperse it, and to carry it out into the free flow. Sometimes, that old energy is not so happy to be uprooted from its stuck place and it flails about and screams and calls out in rage, for it is shocked and challenged by this turn of events.
This, my dear friends is what you are seeing and feeling around you on your beautiful planet at this time. As I, Kuthumi. often like to remind you, it is always very simple. When you look for explanations and solutions that you feel need to be complicated and obtuse, please try to remember that Simplicity is the key.  A lump of energy that has sat in one place for eons of time might not like some new form of energy that feels foreign to it coming along and moving it from its comfort and old place. This is what is going on all around you. Is it any wonder that things feel like they are totally crazy and out of control! They are! Ha! But Dearest beloved ones, this is only a passage, and you are safe and secure in your sovereignty. You don’t need to allow any of the chaos to enter into your field, into your life. It is but an expression of growth toward balance that you have created and that you are witnessing, as it unfolds all around you.
Enough about chaos. Ha! Let us turn to our Celebration of our love for each other.   I, Kuthumi, and You, consciously evolving Human Angels, have a special loving bond between us, a bond that is always present, in every moment. We walk together, talk together, laugh together and cry together. I am with you when you feel so confused and concerned for your planet and your life. Turn to me at any time that you wish. Say my name. Ask me a question or tell me what is concerning you, and we will have a chat about it.   Please remember the Truth in Simplicity, and breathe it into your troubled times. Ahhh, that feels better. For this is indeed a great Truth. Simplicity.
I give each of you a kiss on your dear head and assure you that I am always with you. Great love and honor to you on this day and all the days to come.

Author of "All That You Are"

The experience of writing my book
On the face of it I started to write my book because my (workshop) clients had asked for more information and it seemed like a fun project at the time – I had so much to say and I had so much to share. However at a deeper level, I wrote my book because my spirit strongly wanted to express the inspiration and the creativity that I was feeling.
 
Although I had never really written anything before, it turned out to be very easy: an overwhelming stream of consciousness and inspiration continued to come through. I also wrote about my experiences on my ascension path thus far – so it felt like the merging of both my divine self and my human self was being expressed. I continue to receive wonderful feedback from people who have resonated with the book which touches me deeply.
 
I updated it in 2008 because there were certain things that I wanted to add – I believe that our creations are living, organic, multidimensional aspects of us that grow and expand. I also feel that my book is a very clear standard for me – she has not accepted any of my projections or any of my insecurities. Instead she has lovingly shown me what I have needed to release and continues to remind me of my beauty and my potential for limitlessness.
 
Writing was an interesting experience, because I have never been a ‘creative’ person in terms of art, writing, cooking or music. There have been times when I felt very down about having no true ‘passion’. However I truly feel that resolving this issue is part of what I have come to heal and show others. For those of us who are not ‘artistic’ or have a defined passion as such, I believe that we are also here to transmute and change the old paradigm of ‘doing’ in order to earn self-worth, security and money.
 
The last few months are a very good example of this – I did not feel inspired to do anything but imagine and dream what I wanted to create and work on letting go of resistances. I feel there is such sacredness in doing no-thing – really facing Self with no distraction: not needing to take action to prove our worth and to bring in income. To me this is what the new paradigm is about -- using our consciousness to create; aligning with the visions of what we truly desire, letting go of doubt and insecurities and trusting Self to let it all in. And then taking the inspired action when the time is right.
 
And yes, I feel wonderful things are percolating right now…

Music by William Alexander Theis
As for why I play music, It’s something I think about but never quite figure out. It has always come so naturally to me, as if I feel some kind of internal and automatic drive to want to create and play music, whether making music with a band, recording songs, or just creating weird noises with my technology. I don’t have any reason for it beyond that automatic drive. I’ve noticed that not being in a band and performing live for more than a few months causes me to become extremely depressed and anxious. Lately I’m getting more into the recording aspect of music, as it can be much more meticulous and detailed and I don’t have to rely on other people to play instruments at all. I feel that somehow I was put here to create music, just based on my own feelings and on how naturally I find myself in love with all of the sounds surrounding me at any given time, whether it’s the wind, the ocean, some beautiful music from a band, or the sound of a beautiful voice speaking to me. I’m a lover of beauty, sound just happens to be the thing that I find myself really adept at manipulating into beautiful shapes. I get a whole lot of love out of it too, so much that I cry sometimes. I’ve been playing one instrument or the other most of my life and I’ve always had supernatural abilities of rhythm and pitch and melody. That’s why I think that if there is some way that each of us can really use ourselves to help others and change the world, then my way is through the inspiration that my music can bring to others.

Author Spotlight;
Hannah Brown
Author of "The Portal Opener"

My passion for writing began as a writer of songs during my childhood (my first ever song was called, "It's a tropical night in Switzerland" !!) I wrote songs to express myself during my teenage years, but longed to write something that spanned longer than one page. The concept for my trilogy of novels, The Portal Opener Trilogy, was something that was born completely unexpected; I can only assume that it was a combination of inspiration that I'd received from listening to a spiritual channel, and a part of me from within that stepped forward, ready and willing share my story. This part of me was also very eager, as I wrote the first novel in only nine weeks! Since completing book one, I began the experience of revising, editing, and self-publishing (with help from dear Marisa). That journey taught me to follow what I know to be true; for example, allowing my feelings to dictate what lines were kept and cut, rather than thinking what lines would look "cool".

Now I'm off-and-on writing book two, which has taught me simplicity. Keep it simple! It took me a while to understand that simplicity is a wonderful thing, and not at all the same as writing a "boring" or "straightforward" book - there can be great depth in simplicity! I've also reacquainted myself with feeling into what I write, or am about to right, which usually saves me time deleting anything that my m-i-n-d slips in there. Book two will be completed...when it's completed. You can't rush or force pure creativity and inspiration - another thing I've learnt!

Overall, my writing process has been mostly about feeling, and allowing the words to come, without judgement or expectation.

‘Photography for me is a channel for how and what I feel as I’ve gradually noticed words don’t capture the vastness of my inner world anymore…My expression has evolved from writing toward a feeling non-verbal language where the unsaid says it better and leaves the interpretation and the experience of the viewer open to sensing the beyond, the layers, and the sans definition…as each allows for themselves. My photography, maybe, is slow to reveal itself and requires to take the time…
 
What I enjoy is the beauty found in the simple, minute (or sometimes gigantic) details of my environment, parks, gardens and city alike. It’s my way to celebrate Gaia, the human genius and to communicate with the Invisible. It’s become a dance, sometimes it feels like a true collaboration between me and the devas, and sometimes too…Kuthumi walks behind me: I turn around, and nobody seems to be there, but he seems to be there, reminding me to stay on the playful side of life. I love feeling Kuthumi’s warmth…
 
The Victor Hugo quote on the blog means: Poetry is all that is intimate in everything, which works well for me. Yeah, I consider myself a poet, sort of a story-teller through my pictures. Words are also my friends, but just ‘fewer and further between’…
 
Namaste’.

The Secret
by Leigh Bissett


The heavens parted and I beheld you.
 
Memories flooded in.
 
Before we incarnate this lifetime we pick the potentials of who we may become what we will experience and even the potential of what we will look like.
 
We sit with other angelic beings who we are closest too and create our future potentials together.  I sat there with you as you chose your experiences.  It was like watching a movie of times to come and I imprinted the image you chose for this incarnation in my memory and I promised I would not forget.
 
I remembered how I tried to cheat the forgetting that happens when you come to earth.  How I gave myself many packets of potentials for me to pick up so that I would recognise you.
 
It is bittersweet this experience...such a beautiful loving memory.
 
It is a quiet love that I feel for you it is also a tragic love for it is I who remembers and you who does not.
 
We talk at night in our dreams..it is here we are free of the human limitations and conditions.  We work together and we love.  We laugh at our human stories too.
As I awake to this reality this dimension known as earth, I awake as if this earthly reality is the true dream.  The dream of forgetting.

It is uncomfortable here it is hard and it is heavy.  In the other reality I am free and unencumbered.

I awake to the knowingness and the sensations of having you so constantly by my side.
 
It is a secret this other life I have, the one I so lovingly share with you.
It is a secret that I hear you when you speak to me and ask questions.  It is a secret that I feel your pain your sorrow and how lost you are.  It is a secret that I love the parts of yourself you consider dark and that I have walked with you through many of those dark moments and felt them as if they were my own.  It is a secret that I know there is more to come for you and it is my pain and my joy to know that there is nothing to do but honour your journey and the path that you have chosen.
 
This is my own sweet sorrow.. the knowing the remembering.
 
This is the beauty of life, it is the experience of the love and passion. It is the doubt, sorrow and sadness,  it is the wanting and desire it is the having and having had lost.
The beauty of life is finding the courage to experience each and every feeling fearlessly and having fearless acceptance of all that is as it is.
 
With you I hurt and I grieve.  I am courageous, I am fire and I love beyond my own limitations.  The constraints of human conciousness do not touch me when I think of you.  I move beyond them and I move beyond myself.
You remind me that I am love.

KUTHUMI KONNECTION
by Lopamudra Sharma

I had never heard of Kuthumi. But I always since I first read the prayer of St Francis of Assisi have used it as my talisman. Last year, after being through a whole lot and still going through it, Kuthumi just popped up on Facebook. I googled Kuthumi and was overwhelmed. What???? I said.... is this for real?? who is this guy claiming to be around since BC? And then slowly, Kuthumi made his presence felt in the most gentle, loving and as if saying “you are safe” way.
He didn’t force himself. I could feel him just there, on the periphery of all that I knew, waiting for me J Slowly I started to trust my heart and as a result him and his being, his truth. Very gradual process. He helped me help myself in such an effortless way that it felt like I was on a cloud.
Many times, my human self would kick in (conditioning, ya know!) and I would feel okay Lopa, you have gone nuts and would withdraw. At such times, I could, unwillingly, feel his amused smile and suppressed laughter (SILLY SILLY LOPA!). Yet, I also sensed and deeply appreciated his understating and patience.
I was dealing with some major traumas, the loss of my husband, my elder brother, my mother and sadly, even my dog. I was depressed, miserable and felt so so unsafe and just wanted to hide in a closed room forever. What Kuthumi did was, very calmly, made me face my grief, accept it, understand it, and still be able to say all is well! Inspire of everything…. Slowly, this realization made its way deeper and deeper in my heart and soul “all is well”.
My core came alive. I had always been a happy person. The joy of life, the abundance started flowing so much that I could really love myself, forgive myself, accept my divinity and that of others. It was so wonderful that even I wanted to feel low, I couldn’t!! I was alive, I was okay, and it was okay for people to have died, the world was still a beautiful place, infact more beautiful than ever. I learnt the real meaning of cherishing and living in grace.
I am writing all this because I only have words as a skill. For the Kuthumi fest, I very humbly show myself as a tribute to Kuthumi and his loving, laughing, friendly essence. I am the creation inspired by you, Dearest Kuthumi!
Oh and the two books by Marisa,they are my friends, my cuddle buddies, sometimes I even rest my cheek against them and feel loved.
He has had many incarnations, most awe-inspiring lifetimes. Sometimes, one says, how come I know this being?? I am not worthy!!! But the truth is I AM!
Kuthumi is a calm, beautiful, kind, unassuming, funny, best friend... his vibe does not inspire awe, but it tells you you are loved... I am so happy to know (of) him. I love feeling his wisdom and knowledge... I mean I can read it but it is so much more magical when it floats to you.
I love him and thank him for choosing me to know him ♥
 

Thank you for being part of this celebration of Kuthumi.
Namaste!
