Some of you know about Joseph Crane. He has been visited by several of the Arch Angels over the years. From the request or co-creation with the Angels, is a (so far) yearly event called the Eden event. This year, 2008, the event will be worldwide as we come together with the common goal to bring Eden back to earth. Global Eden Event 2008 This years event will be held in West Yellowstone and the Gallatin National Forest. For the latest information on the upcoming Eden Event in Yellowstone, including dates, cost, lodging, food, airports, etc. Austin - The Gathering for Eden As the first vibrations of Peace are sent throughout the world from the Grand Formation at The Eden Event in West Yellowstone, Montana, groups from around the world can amplify that vibration by creating formations in their local area. The realm of angels, or the Bird Tribe, will move upon these sacred geometric formations and join humanity in co-creating this significant step to bringing an end to the insanity of war and ushering in the Golden Age of Peace. As a Gathered Master, you are invited to join the Austin group. Fulfilling the Prophesy of Peace The Eagle & Condor Nations Prophecies The Jaguar Nations & the World Prophecies West Yellowstone - MT ... June 18- 21, 2008 by GW Hardin - “ For the Circle of Sevens” A couple of years ago, from among our Circle of Sevens, a few began to hear a song from Mother Earth. When others listened to the song, they reported that there was another voice singing with Mother Earth. Those who heard the songs most clearly stated that there were two voices singing: Mother Earth and Grandmother Spirit. We did not know it at the time, but Grandmother Spirit was singing that the time of suffering for humanity was to come to an end. She sang a message that said the Golden Age of Peace was upon us. But few heard. Fulling the Prophesy of Peace continued. Who is Joseph Crane? Click on Joseph Crane to see a brief audio clip from several years ago. Joanne’s Art Project Update I hadn't even had time to rest when I started the next project after Jewls emailed me and planted the seed to see if I'd bring many artists from around the world together and to unite many through an art project to be debuted at the Eden Event. To coordinate many artist seemed overwhelming to me and I hadn't even had time to rest  from the Lightworkers Conference. Finally, I had an idea of how to bring many together and that was to start collecting threads and items to be incorporated into one large artistic piece called "Threads for Unity". Many countries have been sending thread, materials, jewelry, even sand to me to somehow add to a new painting I'll start soon.  What is happening is simply amazing. Art Project. Joanne talks about the Eden Event 2007 So many are calling me asking if they think it's really important for us to attend Eden this year. Some say it's just too much time cut out of their schedules and that it's too costly. Many are asking why we really need to be there at all if we could just hold space at home. As many of you were taught at your Gatherings, the energy runs in a certain direction from stone to stone in a Gate of Grace. Blue to yellow to orange to purple to red to green to violet and back to blue. So there's a definite flow of energy in a specific direction which is pretty cool when you think about it. So if you can imagine building a large Gate of Grace across the land (U.S.A.), we had the first event (Metatron) in the northern U.S. in Elgin, Illinois. Metatron guards the top of the Tree of Life and is all about the mental. At the time, we had many gatherings that took place up north so that made sense as to why we started up there with the large events. Interestingly in the Gate of Grace, in the north is the Native American angel, Tzadqiel and it just so happened that on the land in Elgin, Illinois, many saw Native American spirit guides on the land, eyes opened.. the place was pretty crowded. In fact, the owner of the land saw one of the Native American spirit guides appear to her clear as day moving closer to her as she was gardening months before the event and thought it would hurt her. She actually ran into her farm house for a gun! It vanished into thin air as she looked at it. Turns out there is a huge Portal on the land. The Metatron event was for healing the mental. And yes, that was a mental event as we had to find something like 20 colors of each master for the formation that year. It wasn't enough that we just had to have so many masters in a specific formation. Try to find 20 of each color and to have them all be there the same weekend. Yep, that was certainly a mental excercise.. The next main Event was held in Austin, Texas (Green position). That was about healing the emotional. We had the emotion of joy and laughter as we made total goofballs of ourselves entertaining each other with skits and then we had other emotions which weren't so filled with laughter. It brought up a lot stuff for many of us. Yep, that was certainly emotional. The Eden Event after Texas was held in the red position in Hiawasee,Georgia. That was about creating what we wanted physically. Having Courage and Strength to do what we wanted. We worked on getting rid of physical barriers that got in our way and it laid the foundation for what we were about. We did things we never thought we could and moved through our fear barriers. The Eden event after that was held in Estes Park, Colorado (Purple) and was about Creation and Love. The Shekinah energy returned after a long absence. We created a miracle because so many of us came together as one. We actually saw a heart-shaped cloud in the sky over the mountains as we stood in formation. We laughed hysterically with pure joy as we came into oneness, most of us not even knowing what we were laughing about. We celebrated with creative activities, writing, artwork, music, and dance. So now the next event will be in the Orange position (JOY) to be held in Ohio this June. (As you can see we're building the Gate but in the opposite direction the energy flows so the next event after Orange would be Yellow and if you put push pins in the map of the U.S., it wouldn't be a perfect Gate of Grace formation across the U.S. but it's probably more symbolic of the gifts of each position. Actually what the angels told us was that we were setting the boundaries for Eden on Earth, although we know the energy would go far beyond where we had the events just as the energy goes further out than the actual boundaries of a Gate of Grace. So, many of you ask.. why should I go? I don't know about you, but after all the stuff we've gone through over ten years of this work and trust me, we've gone through a lot together. We've all worked on our sums and continue to do so but the load is getting lighter and lighter. Has anyone noticed? We no longer go through all the baloney we did, going head to head with those that just annoyed us. We all carry a wonderful vibration that is different than when we first started. So, as I see it, it reminds me of what Greg Braden stated in his newest book, "Divine Matrix" ... (great book by the way)....He basically stated that when so many of us come together physically we can literally shift the entire space of where we are. He said if we take 1% of the town's population and then take the square root of that number and take that many people to stand and just "BE" Love, that we can shift an entire town. Now given that, what would happen if we all stood physically in the same geographic area in the formation that Michael and the Angelic Kingdom calls for and we have worked so hard to raise our vibrations over the years? hmmm.... We've done so much physically, mentally, emotionally. Don't we deserve to be in pure and total bliss and joy now? I feel like we really need a celebration for getting this far! Just cuz we totally Rock! I know this is why I started the Lightworkers Conference for the north and GW is starting the Tree of Life for the western states. As the work continues to grow, know that there is indeed support for any of your questions so that we can all continue to grow physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally. My passion is for people to come into their giftedness! Joe and Robbie have worked and traveled across the U.S. to get this information to you. I Hope to meet many of your this summer in Ohio (that's where I was born and lived for 32 years). Deerfield Park looks like a pretty awesome place to play! Hope to see you all there this summer! Bless Your Hearts, Joannee Macko Naperville, Illinois _www.angelic-art.com_ (http://www.angelic-art.com) gathered in Joe's third gathering Dec. 1998 May 29 2006 Visit I was up late firing the alter bowl for the Eden event. My kiln had been sitting unused for several months so it wasn’t working to well and I had to baby sit it. I had to run back and forth and turn it on and off to get the temperature right. While I was doing that I was back in the office working on other things that needed to be done for the upcoming event. I have work lights that really light the night up. Well better then that the light turns the night into day in the area where I am working. Out of the corner of my eye I could see that there was a light outside where the kiln is located. Damn, I said to myself I know I turned the lights off. I got up from my chair and headed to the door to turn them off. As I passed the kitchen window I looked outside to see it wasn’t the work lights at all. There be angels a foot I thought because I could see a figure in the light. As soon as I saw the angel it started to move towards the house. I lost sight of it for a moment and the next thing I knew Michael was coming through the wall of the office and stood in the gate. Michael Blessed be the masters that will stand with you. Blessed will that which they create be. Your labors have not been for not. This is good to hear. We gain some and lose some. It has been an up hill battle so far. However, we are moving right along. In fact, Robbie told me there were five more masters to register today. That put us at 175 masters as it stands now. If one more master is all that registers for the event this year it looks like we are running a year late in the work of bringing Eden back to earth. Michael            Your reasoning is sound yet it is in error. As each passing year of your time goes by that which you would have becomes more and more difficult. Your world will not stand idly by waiting for the masters to bring about the changes for Eden’s return. So what you are telling me is things aren’t going to get any better while we as masters make up our minds as to what we want. The world is going to keep worlding along on the course it is on year by year until we change it. Is that about it? Michael If it were that simple you would have all the time in the world. Yet I say to you it is not year-by-year. It is moment by moment your world stays it course, gaining momentum in the direction in which it heads. The Shekinah cannot intervene without being called by the masters. This moment-by-moment thing really bothers me. When I look at the seriousness in that statement you made I get a sense of urgency. I could compare it to a fire. Some one is playing with matches and gets a fire going. If it could be put out early it isn’t a problem. However, if it is ignored or there is denial that there is a danger it could get out of hand. The longer it takes for someone to do what it takes to put the fire out, the harder and longer it becomes to do something about it. Michael Well said. In that which you have said about fire it would have taken but a cup of water. As time passes the more cups it takes. I see your point here. We as masters can choose to do something now with 222 of us. We had the opportunity to do some thing three years ago with 144 of us but we didn’t have the masters there to raise the vibrations to change the consciousness enough. Nor did we last year. This is why we need the 222 at this time to really make a difference. Michael The number you were given for this year to gather in oneness holds the vibrational ability to impact the vibrations of the world. This power of which I speak can only come to be when the masters come together in this way. Yeah, Gary said something like that in an e-mail he wrote. And as long as we are talking about fire and it is like you say the closer you are to the fire the more light you get. When we gather together our light shines more brightly. When we gather like that our vibrations become stronger because we are focused. I have to wonder at times how it is that you angels trust us with the magnificent opportunity to bring Eden back to earth. When for the most part most of us are struggling just to have our lives work. Michael Your kind has become accustom to hope. In that hope you think Eden will return on it’s own. Which it will, yet it will come long after the masters have returned home. The masters have a choice as to Eden returning in your years or in centuries. The consciousness in your world holds the direction it is going. The masters can change this or time will. I don’t think I care much for the last part of that statement. I would like to be around to see Eden return and see Gabby and the other kids enjoy it. I want this to happen in my lifetime. Michael You do not hear me. For I speak neither of your lifetime nor that of your children’s children or theirs when I speak of time. I speak of the lifetime of human kind. As I said to you in the past, your kind has made a wasteland of the world you were given. Greed, power and domination by the few set the tone of the vibration that holds your world in its grip. You and others see this yet few know it can truly be changed. I know. Most people think they have to get the government to fix it or the big companies to change what they are doing. Sure enough the world has come to see that earth changes are happening. I know this has happened over the years and we knew it would. I just wonder how bad it really has to get before we are willing to take a stand and say no more. The picture that comes to mind when you are talking about the end of mankind isn’t pretty. I can see how the world could get back to Eden by itself. I know the earth will balance its self out. But what I hear is when this happens in order to get the vibration back to that of Eden there will only be a few people left if any. Michael Your words are truer then you know. That which you speak of could become so. Your kind could journey across the universe to planets that would pale the earth in its wonders or become fodder for the plants on the world your kind has made. That is what I thought you meant. I know other then wars and the climate we are not yet effected all that much. However, because we don’t see it getting all that worse, we don’t think about it much. Down the road though our great, great, great, great, great grandchildren will pay a heavy price just to survive from day to day, until they don’t any more and the earth begins again. That just sucks. Michael This is the reason for our kind coming at this time. Gods’ love for your kind allows us to come that Eden may return. Again I say to the masters. You have untold power in the palms of your hands. Your soul holds the power of creation within it. Yet I say to you until you see yourself use it many will believe it to be not true. That goes back to I have to see it before I believe it rather then when I believe it I will see it. And some people even when they see it and experience it they won’t believe it. I have seen people invalidate their whole experience because if it were true they would have to change who they are. Some people are totally unwilling to give up who they are to become all they could be. Michael This is so. Here I go. You come to tell me of the blessing of the masters coming to the event and I go on the tangent about how bad things are in the world. I guess I get hung up on that. Michael It is easier for your kind to fall into the trap of the way it is then it is for them to live in the giftedness of that which may be. Me included. I am glad you came because I do have some questions about the event. Here is the thing. You told me we have the formation for 222 masters to stand in. However, if the masters don’t reach that number we have to stand in another formation. Do you know how hard that is going to be to change the formation depending on the number of those masters? Michael This is true. Is it not as the world in which you live? Yes it is. If we do one thing it sets in motion one set of actions we must take and if we do another then there is another set of actions. I got it. Speaking of actions that we take I have a question. Michael Yes I am reading your mind again. You would know of marking the placement of the masters of the formation. Did you learn mind reading from an old gypsy woman? No. You would know if you might use flags with metal rods to mark the places of the masters. This you may do for all the places outside of the gate which holds the alter bowl to mark these places you must use wood. The vibration of the masters, the stones and the alter bowl must not be lessened with metal. Those that stand outside of the alter will not be bothered by the metal rods. Cool. That is what I wanted to know. Michael Do you remember the words of creation that you were given? Of course I do. I also remember what you told me about the words. I will get it all handled for the event. Michael I would only remind you of this for when you get busy you place things to the back of your mind and they may not be done. Yeah. I can forget things when the work piles up. But look I brought the motor in here to cover it in gold just like you told me to do. The alter bowls are in the kiln and I will finish them in the morning. This is going to be some kind of an event this year. Almost everything is done for the event or will be when we get there. All we need now is the 222 masters to pull this off. Michael You have done well. The rewards for the work the masters have put into the event comes in many bricks. Yet I tell you truly that which you are about to create will benefit all mankind. Oh. I know there are going to be rewards when you look at some of the things the masters have done to be there. One mother gets how important this event is and is missing her daughter’s high school graduation to be there. Another single mother of two found out just two days ago about the dates of the event is moving heaven and earth to be there. Some of the younger masters that didn’t have much money will be there with just a little help. I want to tell you Michael we could really do this. Once the masters get what is important to them and the world I can really see them making this happen. Michael Great is your faith in the masters. Great is your belief that the masters will succeed to return Eden to earth. Our kind will be with yours as you stand in oneness. My time is done for now. Be at peace and teach only love. The light that surrounded Michael seemed to engulf him as he faded from sight. It is almost 3 am so I think I will go to bed and get back at it in the morning.   Addendum   It’s the day after the visit from Michael and Robbie asked me to feed the fish out in the pond. I was busy firing the alter bowls for the event. I took a break from the bowls and went out to the pond. I sat down in one of the chairs and began to throw Koi food in for the fish. As I sat there watching the fish I started to reflect on all that Michael said in his last visit. I also thought about Robbie telling me that 3 people had canceled for the event. I wondered how we were ever going to get 222 masters at the event this year. I closed my eyes thinking about possibilities for our selves and the world if we did. I also thought about the world going on the way it has been going. That was a very depressing thought. I felt a hand on my shoulder I thought it was Robbie’s gentle touch. It was then I felt this enveloping warmth and love fill me. I recognized this touch from years back and I knew it was not Robbie. The very moment I thought that a voice came to confirm it. Shekinah Your heart is heavy and your mind is troubled. I turned my head to see the Shekinah coming around me and standing over the pond. Her brilliant red hair moved as if there were a light breeze blowing it. I said to her that we were having a hard time with the number of masters coming to the event. Just when we have some movement on registration some one will call because they have to cancel. Shekinah There are many that do not see what their presence would bring. There are others that must stay where they are for now. We are doing everything we can think of. And you know what? I bet there are some that wouldn’t come even if we paid them because it is too much trouble for them. I just talked to Robbie and some of the masters think they can be there by going to their gate of Grace or doing a process with the people to bring Eden back. Shekinah Michael said your kind could travel to other worlds in the flesh spreading your kind across the universe or destroy the world you live on and mankind as well. That which they would do will not return Eden. Only the return of the Shekinah will bring it into being. That which they would offer is of great importance to the masters in their creation. You must be reading my mind with what you said. I agree with you on the creation here because the masters really need to get how powerful they are. I know this whole thing is so important to us that are going to the Eden event we are grasping at straws to bring you back. Michael made it very clear he would not bargain with me on the numbers of masters this year. So if we don’t get the number he gave us is there really any reason for doing the event other then to work on creation? Shekinah You ask this out of a heavy heart. You of all should know there is. The masters that gather will gain more then they know and become more then they are now. Those that don’t will have no less then they have now. The masters choose that which they desire to have. Yes I know. So is this visit about rehashing what Michael and Haniel and you already had to say? Or is there some other reason you came? Shekinah You are the one that brought these things to the visit. I guess I did. Shekinah The number of the masters needed troubles your mind. You believe they will come to the event. Yet you do not see how it can happen. The masters that are coming desire all that is in your would begin to change. Again you are telling me something I already know. Shekinah I tell you now that which you do not know. Michael will not set a bargain with you - yet I will. Oh Really? Does this mean if we have what we were supposed to have last year you will accept that number? Shekinah You do grasp at straws. No. The bargain I will make with you in the number you were given. I will not give you what you already have for it speaks little of the masters and their power to be there. I tell you truly should the masters gather in this number it will be as it has been promised. Ok. Ok. What is the number? Shekinah Not one less then 200 will bring my return to set the world on a new course in its consciousness. Eden will begin to return. There is no other way. What say you? What say the masters? I can’t speak for the masters only for myself. I say that is doable. Now I just have to take it to the masters. Shekinah Many masters have labored long and hard to bring this about. It is for this reason they would be rewarded. Give this unto them that they might be victorious in that which they desire. Return to your labors for our time is done. I will see you again at the Eden event if it is the masters will. I watched as she folded back into the light and was gone. I am in the office writing this now.
