						Welcome All to theFeast of Tabernacles 2009!
 
						
						Great indeed will be the day when men can worship One 
						God, and all will know that we are one humanity living 
						on one Earth; when men will know there is only the 
						Essence of God in each human, and we can have a world 
						filled with compassion, peace, and unity for all. 
						
						As part of that pathway to unification, we encourage all 
						to join us in the celebration of the Feast of 
						Tabernacles. 
						The reason we celebrate these Holy Days rather 
						than other holidays is because these are the only Days 
						that God demanded of His people to be celebrated 
						forever and ever. These Holy Days include 
						Passover and 
						others (more information can be found in Essays 1 
						in THOTH,
						
						“Feasts 
						and Holy Days of the Lord”. 
						We can actually forego celebration of other 
						holidays that our culture or families encouraged us to 
						follow, and, with the Spirit of Unification and wanting 
						to only do God's Will, celebrate His Holy Days. 
						
						The Feast of Tabernacles is one of the longest of these 
						Holy Days, and the most joyous. 
						It is the celebration 
						of the return of Christ (God). 
						It is a time to “Feast in the Grace of the Lord.” 
						We come together as a unified body in Christ and 
						give thanks for His Blessings in our lives; we chant, 
						sing, do the 
						Reminder, meditate, laugh, and cry together. 
						It is a time to relax and bask in the teachings. 
						We have worked hard during the year to do His 
						Will, and then God gives us these eight days to be 
						refreshed and ready for a new year. 
						We look back at the year at what we did right and 
						what we did wrong, and we look forward to the coming 
						year.  The 
						Feast is truly a revival of our spirits. 
						
						The Feast
						
						
						will also be held on PalTalk. 
						The schedule for this year's Feast can be found 
						on the website:
						
						
						
						http://www.maitreya.org/fot/2009/Index.htm. 
						All can join us for our services,
						THOTH 
						readings, and most wonderfully, the two times that
						Maitreya-ji 
						Himself will be with us to answer questions and discuss 
						the Eternal 
						Divine Path. 
						Usually
						the questions sent in advance will be the first 
						to be answered. 
						Please send any questions you have for 
						these sessions (or any questions about the Feast) 
						to 
						questionsFeast@maitreya.org 
						 
						
						Also, we do hope you will join us for the Welcome Night, 
						Thursday October 1st at 8:00 PM MST (http://www.maitreya.org/fot/2009/welcome.htm). 
						After the Welcome to open the Feast, all are 
						encouraged to give their testimonials about how much we 
						all cherish this Mission
						and the teachings of
						Maitreya-ji. 
						
						It will be a Great Feast! 
						
						Sal-Om
