As successive Waves of Unity wash over the world, and as spirit downloads its divine light and healing energy into our events and into our hearts, those of us here at Agape Center now feel your love and attention—and your patience. We’ve altered the master schedule today, for at least two reasons: Barbara needed the day to rest after the ordeal of flying to Los Angeles from Australia overnight; and video feeds from the many sites around the world have been of varying quality, so our production professionals are using discretion. Coming tonight is ecstatic and entertaining live music, but it’s all just warmup for the Gala starting tomorrow at 11:30 am Pacific, guaranteed by executive producer Charlie Gay to be on Time, in the Light, and “Spot On”!

Meanwhile, the backstage scene has been a wondrous swirl of pregnant chaos and loving cocreativity. The photo at left is just one example: the meeting of Chigong master Mingtong Gu with James O'Dea, with Philip Hellmich looking on [photo by Erika Rand], arriving in time to conduct the 4th Wave of Unity. More backstage shots are here. And those of you who are not quite set up for micro-broadcasting, do so using this link.
