Enlightenment – The Sacred Marriage of Heaven and Earth
2006 UK Enlightenment programme on the Michael & Mary Ley Lines
Deeksha retreat and Deeksha ceremonies on sacred sites
August 2006
Enlightenment or the Oneness State is a gift bestowed upon you by Nature, Life, Universal Consciousness, God. Do you want to experience Heaven on Earth - permanently?
Awakening or Enlightenment as it is called in some traditions is no longer the privilege of a few highly developed masters. It has become the day-to-day reality of thousands of people around the globe - permanently. And the wave of enlightenment is spreading rapidly. 
The revolutionary results are due to a phenomenon called Deeksha. Deeksha is a transfer of a divine energy from two enlightenment avatars, Bhagavan and Amma, located in South India. The energy catalyses the process of enlightenment in an unforeseen way. More than 2000 people globally have permanently entered the state within hours, some within days or weeks and some within a couple of years. Many more are still in the process of getting there.
Bruhn and Cecil both received the enlightened state of consciousness in India 2004 at an age of 35. They are initiated channels of the Deeksha enlightenment energy. Since then they have conducted many 1,3 and 7 days courses in Denmark. They were invited to UK for 3 days in January and May this year and held seminars and Deeksha ceremonies with more than 180 people.
Now they have been invited back to UK in May and August and together with several organisers they are co-creating this unique Enlightenment Programme. The programme will combine 3 powerful dimensions: 
Heaven and Earth The programme is a unique opportunity to bring heavenly energies (Deekshas) and sacred earth energies (at amazing sacred sites) to meet in your heart facilitating an awakening to your true nature. This is what you will experience as “galactic grounding”, “living in a vertical reality” or simply “Enlightenment”.
East and West In May we work in sacred sites on the eastern part of the Michael and Mary Ley lines with Hopton as the one polarity. In August we will visit Lands End at the western polarity – working our way to the middle of the Ley lines near Avebury. Finishing in the middle of England with a 3 day retreat is a physical manifestation of living in your centre, the Oneness State bridging all polarities, transcending the dualistic mind.
Feminine and Masculine The energies of Amma and Bhagavan transmitted through deeksha manifest the masculine and feminine aspects of the divine. Doing this on the Michael & Mary ley lines (also masculine and feminine) through two enlightened channels Cecil and Bruhn (also masculine and feminine) triples the oneness power and facilitates the sacred marriage within you.
About the Michael and Mary Line "The Rainbow Serpent is the female aspect of two great energy lines. The other, the Plumed Serpent, is the male aspect (see map). These serpents are themselves made up of male and female currents that intertwine like a Caduceus or Kundalini through the landscape. The Michael and Mary Line is the part of the Rainbow Serpent that travels though England (see UK map) linking many sacred sites from St Michael's Mount, Cornwall, through to Glastonbury, Avebury and many sacred sites up to Bury St. Edmunds and finally, Hopton-on-Sea, where it goes into the North Sea. Gaia’s energy system is remarkably similar to our own. Our connection to the earth is also far greater than we realise" (from www.rainbowserpent.co.uk/home.html - see their world map).

A car is also recommended (perhaps shared) for travelling between the different locations and you should arrange accommodation if you do not have friends you can stay with in the area. We recommend staying at the same hostels as we do during the pilgrimage as spontaneous Deeksha activities free of cost will probably unfold in the evenings. See more details about accommodation below.

This Deeksha focused retreat, near the Avebury stone circles, has the theme of ‘Bridging and Transcending Polarities’. The event marks the end point of this pilgrimage along the Michael and Mary Lines, geographically situated at the centre of the lines as they travel through the southern UK.
Complimenting the intentions of the pilgrimage, the retreat offers the deep benefits of the physical location (between the Michael and Mary Lines). The purpose of the retreat is to support your inner realisation of living from the centre of your being – living in a state of unconditional freedom.
The retreat will comprise of an intensive program led by Bruhn & Cecil who are skilled and experienced facilitators. You will experience several Deekshas, guided meditations, dialogues about the Enlightened state and the process towards it etc. To read more about the way they work please visit their website (www.onenesscenter.org).

Accommodation during pilgrimage (before retreat)
Having somewhere to stay and sleep over is crucial to the success of this wonderful opportunity to visit sacred sites in the south-west and experience Deeksha. This information suggests the hostels some of us will be using. Its anticipated that most of the participants will commit to do the whole of the 5 days sacred site schedule.
To date most of the interest is from people wishing to celebrate the Michael and Mary Lines and do the 3 days Deeksha focused retreat at Avebury. However, you are free to choose how much or how little involvement you wish. Join us for just a day during the sacred site schedule, or just be a part of the 3 day retreat. It’s entirely up to you. You’ll be made most welcome at any of the events.
Sacred Site Visits, 12 – 16 August. Below is a list of Youth Hostels that we will be using. To suit your own budget and preferences you are, of course, free to use nearby campsites, bed and breakfast or hotels.
You are advised to make your own accommodation and booking arrangements as soon as possible. As you’re only too aware August is the peak holiday season and, for example, already the Land’s End Hostel at St Just is fully booked for this period.

Working in and with Nature
Cecil and Bruhn have on several occasions expressed their deep connection with the English landscape. They have experienced that working with the Deeksha energy in nature amplifies the effect giving birth to a quantum leap in the consciousness of the participants. Working with this intention at a sacred site also creates a precious healing process for the earth and that part of the landscape – reinvigorating essential life energies and helping to restore its health and balance. The sacred sites ceremonies you will experience are a co-creation between Daniel Rounding from Auriga Mysteries School, Shey Hancock - artist and spiritual teacher, Cecil and Bruhn - teachers and Deeksha givers from Oneness Center Denmark.

Background for the Enlightenment Programme - by Daniel Rounding
Albion is a name given to the British Isles in ancient times. It is a title that also runs with the blood of conquest, until these islands were again conquered by Brutus, circa 1100 bc, who gave the name Britain. Today we witness another invasion that some say is just as wounding and leaves many scars. The technological manifestations of the industrial age; its effects we are all familiar with.
Throughout time nature always presides, and where the landscape remains untouched there we can connect with our true natures. Clues to the natural environment's supremacy and its power to reinvigorate the self can be found on many an upland and lowland feature. Hill tops, secluded springs, underground features, woodlands, forests, heaths, moors, unspoilt streams and rivers, and in tranquil glades.
Within these wild places the ancients celebrated the passing of the seasons, fully recognising the power of place to conduct rituals that enriched their communities. They left for us signs indicating their importance and use. Stone circles and obelisks, wells that run with life giving fresh water, caves, ancient trees and old pathways.
Often these old places are linked by ley lines, natures unseen nervous system, and used by the ancients of many cultures as roadways through the land. Common in the old tongues would be the term that we now know as the Michael and Mary Ley Line. A feature traceable all the way from Cornwall to Norfolk.
Do you feel called by the land, the weather, the sea? Do you yearn to connect to this ley line phenomena in some way? To step to one side of your 21st century self and explore the timelessness of nature Herself. What else awaits that discovery?
You are invited to combine this exploration of the land with the Deeksha phenomena, and so deepen your experiential journey through one landscape and into another.
Dare to dream, and gently dare to walk the earth. Consider that within you are the answers to your unspoken questions.
