The City of Light

By Keith Armstrong

I want to share with the community an image of the City of Light I received in conversation with Peter Caddy following the Winter Gathering of the Findhorn Foundation and Community in 2010.

I should say that my background has included training in mediumship from the spiritualist society, many experiences of channelling different beings and most importantly embracing the understanding Sir George Trevelyan speaks of when he tells us Humanity is a united Spiritual expression with a small part of it focused in material reality.

Sir George assures us that ‘death is the great adventure’ when we can become more closely united with our loved ones than is possible in the material form.

Those without a physical body are no less active and available than when they owned a physical expression and than we allow them to be. We are Eternal beings who dip in and out of physical expression.

So Peter and I were chatting, as you do, when he said, “Don’t be dismayed if they don’t all seem to be going your way. Findhorn has grown since then and now there are many impulses flowing through it.

The image I received was of a six-pointed star enclosed in a circle with the Solar sphere the point in the centre.

Through each of the separate triangles a thread of energies was flowing, pouring out into the world, and being dragged by the world into that direction.

Each of the threads had at least three strands, so the whole thing looked like the above. As the threads pulled out so the crystal heart unfolded.

I spoke to some recently of progress as unfoldment rather than as a linear directional process. I cannot see that we are on a bicycle going forwards, in danger of falling over if we stop –with the implicit understanding “pedal harder, I think I am falling” – I perceive a crystal flower unfolding in all directions.

If one part pulls harder, then the rest become twisted and distorted. The City of Light is not being built among the dunes alone – the respite and refuge of the Nature Spirits – but in Forres, and Kinloss and Burghead and Logie Steading as well. It is the communities of Whiteinch and Woodhead and all the other members not located in the Park or Cluny Hill. This at least is the unfoldment I witness after 30 years away.
