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

All the facilities of our attention woven in a seamless
outreach unto the reality of God. If you
cannot achieve this during your daily programs of devotion, you will never achieve it.
|
| Obviously, all stains of
unworthiness have
been jettisoned long ago. | |
|
Nothing but goodness and glory as far as the eye can see,
and knowing that however deeply
you penetrate into the mysteries of God, that vista of perfection will continue to stretch endlessly
before you. God my Father ... This is God my Father ... This is the reality of God my Father.
|
| The experiences you
receive in the midst of
devotions, these alone make you aware of what your state of consciousness ought to be 24 hours a
day ... Walk in the fire of adoration unto God. | |
|
All pain and suffering comes from the ignorance of the
reality of God. If Jesus will not grant
this knowledge to his followers when it counts the most, i.e. here on earth, it is unreasonable to
assume that he will grant that knowledge after death. |
| To gaze upon this reality is
to live within the
flame of cherishment. | |
|
To know God personally is to grasp his creative activities
throughout all spheres
simultaneously. As you are face to face with the God that loves you so much, you are also face to
face with the infinite creation as his sacred project. |
| To honor life is to honor
God. But the key to
this truth is in the honoring of God first. | |
|
The presence of God is a gift of the most precious nature. It
is the foundation of all service.
|
These tears carry the fragrance
of roses to the winds.
| |
|
The desire body transfigured -
set in anticipation of the appearance
of God's Friendship once again.
|
|
God is like a treasure chest, but
this treasure chest has no sides or
a lid to enclose it. The jewels spill
endlessly into endless and infinite
regions of both time and space.
| |
|
One of the more important dimensions of God Consciousness is the awareness of God
doing so many things throughout vast regions of creation at the same time that he has his full
attention on you.
|
|
It is well to consider what stands in the way of your full acceptance of God's infinite
love for you personally. It's there. It's real. What possible reason is there not to be immersed and
rejoicing in it constantly?
| |
|
This is clearly
the most fundamental
chord of being.
|
God's everlasting
friendship,
extending back through all time,
and extending forward
for all time to come.
| |
|
The goal is to
know God's Love.
That's it.
And actually
this is the core
of divine identity.
|
|
A free people naturally constitutes a pure democracy, for they determine the overall
quality and nature of their society by their own free will actions.
| |
|
In other words, the concept of democracy should not be
considered solely in terms of
the form of government, for the majority of people in any society exist outside of that
form.
|
You cannot approach
God
without first giving your
entire being over to the
fire and flame of affection.
| |
|
To come into contact with God personally, you must
first give your entire being over to
the fire and flame of affection. But that affection cannot be established without first coming
into contact with God personally. This paradox is resolved by the Mediator who lifts the soul
into personal contact with God through the flame of affection the Master himself (or herself)
maintains constantly.
|
What this means is that
until you can maintain the flame
of affection on your own, by the intensity and purity of your own desire, every point of personal
contact with God comes to you by the intercessory grace of the attending Master.
| |
|
And may we surmise
that it is this flame of affection,
permeating the whole being,
which carries the soul into
the garden of the heart at will?
I think so.
|
O the mind aflame
with the knowledge
of God's friendship.
