Directory:The City of Shamballa social network
The City of Shamballa social network was founded on November 10, 2009 by New Age author and Reiki master Chris Comish. According to Chris Comish, the network is a reflection of the Masters and Shamballa and assists with the general manifestation of the Spiritual Hierarchy on Earth and the ascension of all beings. It is a manifestation of the heavenly City of Shamballa in the physical density, as a result of a message he received from God on November 9, 2009. According to his vision, The City of Shamballa social network is intended to contain the inner wisdom, love and that which is esoteric, while Chris Comish's books containing embedded energies are intended for the general population (exoteric). The seekers within the general population would awaken from the energies and then be drawn to the City of Shamballa social network for further expansion along the path.[1]
Purpose
