The Divine Romance, 13 February 2004
The event that will, perhaps, most be remembered of The Maitreya’s visit to Australia in the year 2004 was His Revelation and consecration of a hitherto unknown holy day (February 13th), which He promises will one day be celebrated by all the people of the world. In His own words:
It is upon this day, Friday, February 13, 2004, that I consecrate and inaugurate what will one day be globally celebrated by all walks of life as the holiest of all holy days. It is the day, each year, wherein all shall re-consecrate and recommit their lives to The Beloved of their souls, their Creator. Fitting it is that this holiday precede, by one day, Valentine’s Day, celebrated throughout the world as the day to reaffirm one’s love for sweethearts and spouses, for no earthly love can exist without the sourcing and blessing of this love, Divine. In short, February 13th shall forever be known as the celebration of The Divine Romance.
Quietly, in the Ethers, this holiday has always existed, just as the number “13” has, for all time and eternity, symbolized—both alchemically and numerologically—the sacred heart of God. It is only now, on this most holy of days, that I lift the veil and allow this blessing to befall all My beloveds.
For those souls who have entered into the penultimate walk with God, as disciples of a God-realized being, this day shall also be celebrated as the day of recommitting one’s heart and one’s life to the Guru, for the relationship with one’s Guru is, itself, the physical embodiment and manifestation of one’s relationship with God.

"True bliss comes to me in the service of humanity.
If Moksha were to knock at my doors today, I would beg the
Lord to let me remain here, so I might serve a brother or sister in pain."

The Homecoming
================
O how I have longed for you
My brother, My lover, My friend
My dream, for so long relegated to a distant yearning
has now finally come true
Here you stand before Me
with eyes that reflect My own eternal love
Somewhere in the storm of man's illusion
an angel heard the whisper of My voice
Traveling the road of discordant thoughts
a heart so pure has found its way home
Blessed art thou for never giving up
on the love I promised would one day claim you
Courting the seasons, bending the hands of time
dauntless was I in My search for you
My heart is now and forever your home
as My home now gracefully enfolds your heart
Live with Me, My son, in paradise
that others, too, will soon hear My call
All that I AM I give unto thee
drink from Me the elixir of immortality
Ask of Me and receive My kingdom called heaven
your birthright, your destiny, your inheritance
Having vanquished Fate
a single ray has returned unto the Sun.
