Unless indicated otherwise, the following notes are recorded in my
journal in the course of my daily decree services before this local outpost of the Altar of the
Holy Grail, located in my sanctuary, a converted photographic darkroom in the back of our
garage. The Chart of the
Presence hangs over the altar area on the west wall, with the portrait of the Ascended Master
Jesus Christ to the left, and the
portrait of the Ascended Master St. Germain to
the right. Note: Most links require Javascript to be enabled. For additional Footprints

| God's love for you is the
root reality of life.
To personally know it, to enter into the flow of it, this is the beginning and the ending of the
purpose of life on earth. |  |
|
It is the most fundamental context of reality. The purpose of
the violet flame is to restore the
soul's capacity to grasp that context, and anchor it within the framework if its own awareness.
|
| The infinite goodness of
God is seen through
the third-eye chakra. O to be able to hold that vision and to be able to contemplate it at length!
This is paradise. | |
|
To bow down before this reality --- I would say that is the
very core of divine being.
|
| Just to close your eyes and
and to see the
infinite goodness of God stretching out before your inner vision in all directions as far as the eye
can see ... each of us must reach this level of transformation and cleansing in this life time ...
| |
|
It seems to me the final leg of the journey, in terms of the
complete transformation of
consciousness, or shall we say the purification of the soul, is the process of identifying and
surrendering everything that mars the internal light of adoration, affection, and friendship.
|
| Or put another way ... As
you see more and
more of the face of God, the momentum of desire within you grows, to honor everything that God
stands for. | |
|
The greatness of God is so monumental, so thoroughly
captivating, that a sense of duty, to
honor, grows within you. |
| and moreover, it is a
tremendous gift to
simply, without effort, to preceive, to sense, to receive the sense of God's infinite goodness, which
again, is focused in the area of the third eye ... a treasure ... from the hand of the master.
| |
|
The only honest frame of reference is God's infinite
goodness, and it is the violet flame that
gives us the freedom to contemplate it. And I can tell you that this becomes an issue that haunts
the soul ... To see it, to know it, but not to be able to stay within it. And in this regard, the violet
flame becomes ever more important, not less.
|
| When the glory of God is
received internally,
when the soul can receive the impartations of God's cosmic beauty and feel the sensation
associated with that beauty, yes, it is possible to become an electrode of affection ... not simply
human affection .... but cosmic affection. | |
|
Fidel's "revolution" is a dark stain of rotting decay upon the
Cuban culture. No wonder they
are so enamoured by the idea of free health care. |
| The way to get close to
God, face to face as it
were, is to become the mediator. | |
|
At some point you have to aclimate yourself, your entire
frame of reference, to accommodate
a personal relationship with the God that has created and is continuously sustaining infinite
universes ... One does not overcome one's disbelief in the possibilities of this relationship quickly,
but only very gradually. |
| The general outlines of this
personal
relationship appears to take shape within the third eye chakra. | |
| The entire fabric of the
human consciousness is woven from
the reactive fibers of doubt, fear, disbelief, and skepticism when it comes to this subject. How
does one overcome this, while at the same time residing within it? You can't just step out of it like
a snake sheds its skin. Each reactive fiber must be transmuted in place. This is the goal of life.
|
| I juxtapose this doubt with
the reality of my
beating heart. There is no question what is real, and what is not.
| |
|
Today we feel closer than gratitude. |
| Part of the process is
steeling oneself for the
imminent perception of one's responsibilities as a Son of God. | |
| It would be better to find
yourself on the way to fulfilling
those responsibilities at the time of revelation, than to find yourself far afield from them.
|
| When the interchange of
light inherent in the
word beloved is established between the soul and God, the soul is immediately aware of
God's love for all creation. Out of that knowledge comes the capacity, in terms of our
relationships, to love one another. Otherwise, there is no foundation for that love, and it is truly
fickle, no matter what one might believe. | |
|
Thus, the foundation for our love for one another is the
establishment and the maintainance
of our relationship with God. |
| Our love for one another
cannot be any
greater or more powerful than one's relationship with God. If you have not established that
relationship, there is no foundation for love. | |
|
What you have in the absence of that foundation is human
sympathy, which operates in a
context of relativism, a synthetic and artificial charade that decomposes into war far more often
than people would like to admit. |
| What is love? It is the
desire and the
power to bring about the best possible situation for each and every part of life.
| |
|
Obviously, without God, there cannot be love, for the
blueprint for what is best, can only
come from God. Thinking that one can love without making the effort to know God's Will is the
nadir of human pride, blind, and self-destructive.
|
| Then you must ask, what is
God's Love?
The same answer: The desire and the power to bring about the best possible situation for you
personally. Which means that when you face into the torrent of God's love, you come face to face
with his desire, his blueprint for your life, which means responsibility. Are you ready to meet
those responsibilities? To the extent you are ready to meet those responsibilities, to that extent are
you brought into direct contact with that love. | |
|
Therefore, getting ready, i.e. preparing yourself to fullfill
those responsibilites, this is one of
the primary objectives of life, this is what the activity of the Path is all about. |
| O for a mind that can
contemplate the Glory
of God ... Having it, how would it be possible to contemplate anything else? It is like seeing the
blue sky and sunlight break through the heavy overcast for a moment. And for that moment you
stand in that shaft of light. But alas, you do not have the wings that could carry you up through
that break in the clouds. | |
|
Contemplate infinite love and care directed concurrently and
simultaneously to every child of
God ... this is beyond awesome. But it is the ever present, and never changing reality of God our
Father. |
| Moving from the prayers to
decrees is like a
toddler moving from crawling to walking to running, and finally to flying. Complete freedom from
the gravity of the carnal mind. Not to mention the active and dynamic participation in the victory
of God's plan across the entire face of the earth and beyond.
| |
|
To stand in awe of the power of God is something to be
desired constantly. But, let us not
kid ourselves by thinking that this is a passive condition. It is not. The state of awe consists of
three parts. First, a challenge which tests you to the very depth of your soul. Second,
your invocation of the word to meet that challenge. Third, the response of God
that overcomes the challenge. When all three parts are evident within you, you can then
stand back in awe of the personal power of God in you. |
| The victory is inside first
and foremost.
| |
|
The greater the challenge --- the greater the response --- and
therefore the greater the awe.
|
| But, the challenges that
produce the awe
before God do not come until you have developed an unbreakable momentum of daily invocation.
