Peru: Day 2 in Cusco – Opening of the Seventh Gateway

By Cathy


Yes, I know. As I write this, it is already our sixth day in the Andes, and when I say this is the first moment that I have to share our experience with you, I mean it. I apologise for taking this long to check in, but we have been BUSY here in Peru!

The 13th of March 2025 started with a visit to Saqsaywaman with our amazing guide, Jesus Eagle. We experienced the enormous energy of the rocks the Incas had left in very precise formations. Most tourists had little interest in that section of the site, but our guide had been informed that we were not tourists, and that we wanted to connect with the mountain. And that is exactly what our guide helped us to do. The strength of the vibration surprised those of our group of eight who had a chance to connect through the rocks at the first energy portal. So exactly how did the Incas know how to carve those points where they did? It remains a mystery.

Climbing to a higher area, we spent some time to take in the view, and to express our deep gratitude – we were in the Andes, and we knew that somehow, that mattered. Jesus was patient and took out his flute to play a soft Andean tune to the quiet group of women, while all around us the tourists were milling about, listening to tourist guides explaining the history of the site.

And then some more magic began to unfold …

As we walked downwards to go and find another portal, archaeologist Dr Jorge Callero and his assistant Jessica Almantha, were standing at a new site they were exploring. Jessica was friendly and in very good English told us that Dr Callero was the one who had discovered 48 mummies, just beyond the trees we were heading towards. It was a place where the ancients had buried their dead. (For my readers, you will find more on this extraordinary coincidence in the soon to be published sequel to The Puppet Master’s Secret.)

So we headed down there …

A place and a group of women I will remember forever … What a beautiful space. No sign of mummies, but a definite feeling that this was a sacred space. And it was waiting for us. It was time for another circle, and a prayer.

Moving on to explore the remainder of Saqsaywaman, we found more beauty and more magic, and as we walked, we felt such peace. Just as we finished exploring the last rocky space Jesus wanted to show us, we had to dig out our ponchos, because huge drops of Andean rain started falling.

It did not matter that we had to walk back to our bus through the mud.

We said goodbye to Jesus in Cusco’s square, where our hostess Lesley was waiting for us. It was time to get back to the real world – drawing money, visiting the market, and having coffee.

Later that night, we re-grouped, and opened the Seventh Gateway for the last continent on our list – South America. The message we received while we were working, was simple, but profound:

Love the person on your left, and love the person on your right, and love the one in the middle. In this way, love can spread all around the world. If mankind learned to live this way, Earth would never again need seven gateways to be opened in prayer, so that the Creator could come to clear what had accumulated in Earth’s field for aeons. Because love heals everything.

It is done …
