FOOTPRINTS ON
THE MOUNTAIN

Apr. 16, 2001 - Apr. 17, 2001
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.

     In regards to the nature spirit, or angel deva, that ensouls our elm tree, do you think that he or she is aware of the process of each one of the thousands of leaves that are currently unfolding for the first time this spring?  [notes recorded in bedroom]  4/16/2001 Mon.

     This is the 29th consecutive day of the Linda Healing Project.
Ritual outline: We begin repeating our Linda Healing Prayer when we get out of bed, "My Beloved God Presence, I Am That I Am, please allow Linda to feel your precious friendship, your precious love, your precious comfort, your precious peace, and your precious healing power. Please bestow upon Linda the intelligence that will enable her to recognize the difference between friend and foe." After dressing we proceed directly to the kitchen, remove five dog biscuits from the jar, and chop them in half to yield a total of ten pieces. Five for Linda, and five for Max. We proceed to the sanctuary, kneel at the altar, explain our goals, and ask for assistance. This includes a request that a squad of nature spirits and elementals to be assigned to tutor Linda in recognizing the difference between friend and foe, and sword work to cut Linda free from her fear and all aggressive tendencies. We depart the sanctuary, taking the white hand bell from the altar, proceed into the garage, open the main garage door, and walk over to the gate. We ring the hand bell, open the gate, say good morning to Linda and Max, pull the two trash barrels outside of the gate, walk back inside the gate and over to the chain link fence where the dogs are ready for their dog biscuits. After feeding four biscuits to each dog, in this order, Max, Linda, Max, Linda, etc., we pull the trash barrels back inside of the gate, and then walk back over to the fence and give each dog one more biscuit and a pat on the head. That done, I say goodbye, close the gate, ring the hand bell, walk into the garage and close the garage door.
     As we opened the garage door Linda let out one half-hearted bark, but when she saw me at the gate, she started to bark more repetitively, and continued barking as I opened the gate, and as I pulled the trash barrels outside of the gate, and as I closed the gate, and as I walked over to the chain link fence. As soon as arrive at the chain link fence Linda stops barking and gets into her dog biscuit expectation mode. I would say the biscuit feeding went about the same as yesterday. During each of the six biscuit feedings, Linda allowed me to pet her without pulling back. I accidently fed the dogs all five of their dog biscuit pieces, without saving the additional fifth piece to give them after I pulled the trash barrels back inside of the gate. But fortunately, there were a few large crumbs remaining at the bottom of my pocket, and that worked ok. After we pulled the trash barrels back in, we went back over to the fence and gave each dog some of the crumbs and a head pat. Linda started to bark at the movement of the trash barrels but stopped when I came back over to the fence. Upon leaving, Linda started to bark again, but abruptly stopped when the hand bell was rung. That behavior is becoming fairly well ingrained, i.e. stopping barking, and going on a search for more dog biscuits. [c-notes recorded in office]  4/16/2001 Mon.
     Let me just say that as we sat down to do our transcription work, we were totally absorbed into this cloud of lethergy whose only goal was to take a break from this work, and from our decree work this evening. Well, in as much as I am already running behind on this transcription work, (we have not even finished the transcription of Saturday's journal entries), we can't very well take a break from this work. So, as we proceed with this transcription work, we are studying this desire to take a break, in as much as it still rests heavily upon us, and we are comparing and contrasting what this desire would lead us into, which would be sitting in front of the T.V. set, against what we would be taking a break from, which would be that altar work where the very presence of paradise comes upon you on a more and more regular basis, and I am wondering, how could it be a benefit to skip this work that allows for the presence of paradise to be made manifest? What is it about watching the T.V. that would bring a something of greater benefit into my life? What about watching T.V. is energizing, or relaxing, or comforting, or bestows peace? And I have to sort of laugh at that, in as much as we just got finished eating our breakfast in front of the T.V., though we were only watching C-Span and the News, and what did we feel like when we got up? We felt totally drained. We felt like we did not have the energy to proceed forward with our normal routine. While this desire to take a break certainly is powerful, and while this blanket of lethergy is certainly not providing evidence of any vitality in me, it certainly is at the same time absurd and laughable. I can't see how it is possible to ever come to a conclusion that its advice, its counsel is worthwhile. And as we proceeded with out transcriptions, noticing the content thereof, discussing the idea that God deserves our utmost respect, and engaging in the foregoing analysis as we are typing, we find that the presence of the sacred fire has emerged within the fabric of our awareness, at a level of about (4) to (5), and that logic of this sacred fire has cleared a straight path into the decree work that we will pursue as the next item on our agenda. Now there are no barriers that stand in between us and the completion of that work. The presence of the lethergy and its desire to take a break has vanished, having apparently been consumed by the Power of Truth, which of course the presence of the sacred fire carries within it.  [c-notes recorded in office]  4/16/2001 Mon.
     In regards to this statement made on Saturday, April 14, 2001, "Ultimately all thought activity must take place within the context of the flame of respect", we need to make it crystal clear that this does not happen by a totalitarian edict from on high. It happens only because the soul deeply desires for it to happen, but not only that. The soul must go through the process of weeding out all thought processes that take the soul in unwanted directions. This ultimate condition where all thought activity takes place within the context of the flame of respect, comes to pass only after that soul has made thousands and thousands of free will choices to affirm the value of this flame, and thousands and thousands of free will choices to reject whatever it is that opposes the constant presence of this flame within the fabric of awareness. [c-notes recorded in office]  4/16/2001 Mon.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness on the 10th repetition of (12x) Tubes of Light at a level (2) on our (1-12) intensity scale, expanding to a level (3) by the 12th repetition. A heavy burden appears upon the spine at a point at or just below the heart at the 6th repetition, and continues through to the 11th repetition.  4/16/2001 Mon.
     This is day #113 of the strength of many mountains, and #111 of the golden portal of the heart and the many divine cities revealed therein, and #107 of the many many fires of celebration of the glory of God, and #72 of the nourishment of God's glory spread abroad across the entire planetary body, and #63 of the garden paradise of the heart, the place where divine friends meet, where the word "cherish" describes every relationship, and #42 of the personal closeness of my very own beloved God Presence, and #34 of the my very own beloved God Presence as the presence of paradise, and #19 of the heart as home.  4/16/2001 Mon.
     I am very grateful to have the opportunity to work with the Ascended Masters and the angelic legions during these hours for the victory of God's purpose upon the earth.  4/16/2001 Mon.
     During our main preamble sword work, Linda is barking at something, and this gives us an opportunity to stop and give our Linda Healing Prayers, "My Beloved God Presence, I Am That I Am, please allow Linda to feel your precious friendship, your precious love, your precious comfort, your precious peace, and your precious healing power. Please bestow upon Linda the intelligence that will enable her to recognize the difference between friend and foe," and as we give this we are visualizing Linda cradled in our arms, with love, comfort and peace flowing into her. Of course, as I have noted before, I have no love of my own for Linda. Because I have only felt irritation towards Linda, I affirm here that if Linda is to be loved through me, it will have to be the love of my God Presence, which I imagine that I will adopt as my own whenever it appears. I surrender my irritation of course, I will not feel that anymore, and I will open up a space for that love to appear, within the cradle I form with my arms. I gave the prayer three times and Linda stopped barking after about ten seconds or so.  4/16/2001 Mon.
     Then Maui is meowing in such a forlorn manner at the back door. I gave my Maui prayer to the seven Archangels, and the meowing stopped. I asked the seven Archangels to please have mercy on Maui, to send a group of nature spirits and elementals to keep him company.  4/16/2001 Mon.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness on the 8th repetition of (12x) 30.08, Covenant of the Magi calls, at a level of (2) on the (1-12) intensity scale. Also, we are a very far distance from the presence of mind necessary to grasp onto our victory thoughtform, "God deserves respect. It is so far removed from us that we cannot even touch it. There is the very substantial sense of distance.  [expanded during transcription]  4/16/2001 Mon.
     But we can repeat "God deserves the utmost respect" during the transition spaces, and during this last break, and I can report that it feels good to have returned to that focus. During our next set of (15x) Hail Marys, we were able to grasp onto that thoughtform in the course of those calls.  4/16/2001 Mon.
     We have changed the wording of our Sanat Kumara and Lady Master Venus prayer. Up until now it has read, "Beloved Sanat Kumara and Lady Master Venus, please help me to become more devoted to the victory of God's will, the victory of God's infinite goodness, and the victory of the nourishment of God's glory spread abroad across the entire planetary body." Now it reads like this, "Beloved Sanat Kumara and Lady Master Venus, please help me to develop the capacity to extend the utmost respect unto our Father/Mother God at all times and under all circumstances." The moment we decided to make this change, a bright blue light appears on the Chart of the Presence between the feet of the middle figures (Holy Christ Self), and just above the head of the lower figure (me) on top of the crystal cord at that point.   4/16/2001 Mon.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom emerged within the fabric of our awareness on the 44th of (45x) Michael calls. We made efforts in the direction of extending utmost respect to our Father/Mother God, but we did not make any connection with that flame. Though it was clear in our mind that the ultimate goal of this effort is to enter into the region of huge hugs unto God. The preciousness of the experience is alive in my memory during much of this call session. Now, for a while, this was far more clear in our mind than the issue of respect itself. But I don't think you can simply jump into the region of huge hugs, at least not at your current level of development. The pathway into that region is comprised of steps, the first of which is to anchor the conceptual framework in the mind, (which we haven't done yet), then allow the flame of respect to appear within that context, allowing the vision component of that flame to reveal the beauty of God, which in turn ignites the flame of adoration, and out of the flame of adoration extends those huge hugs unto God. That has been our experience so far.  4/16/2001 Mon.
     As we repeat this during our next transition space, "God deserves my utmost respect", and we can sense the truth of it! Of course, that is the only thing we are thinking about at that point. As we repeat this, the very substance of physical matter takes on a certain dimension of sacredness, all the objects in the sanctuary, and the structure of the sanctuary itself, are supported upon a sub-atomic grid of God's conscious life and power. A very interesting and wonderful perception. Giving us a glimpse of the possibility of living life in a constant perception of the sacredness of all things.  4/16/2001 Mon.
     During the next set of (15x) Hail Marys, as we ponder this wonderful perception, all of a sudden, at one point, my inner being expands outward towards God in the form of one of these precious hugs! That is really where we want to be. For an instant the gap closes, and God is the most real object, as it were, in the universe, and the most important.  4/16/2001 Mon.
     God is everywhere. Wherever you reach out your hand, there is the sacredness of God.  4/16/2001 Mon.
     Its the truth. The glory of God permeates all space.  4/16/2001 Mon.
     Harkening back to the question we had earlier in regards to whether the angel deva that ensouls the big elm tree in our back yard actually ensouls the individual process of each of thousands of newly unfolding leaves, I am thinking that if this is true, that it might explain the fact that there are no two leaves exactly the same, in as much as every leaf is different and unique.   4/16/2001 Mon.
     As we speak these words during this transition space prior to the violet flame session, "God my beloved Father and God my beloved Mother deserves my utmost respect", the reality of God the Father, and God the Mother is reported to us as being present within the fabric of our awareness, and within all surrounding space.  4/16/2001 Mon.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom remained solidly anchored within then fabric of our awareness during the whole duration of our 15 minute period of violet flame decrees. At ten minutes into the session, we were able to grasp the conceptual framework, "God deserves my utmost respect", and we were able to reside at the center of it for a while in a space where we could contemplate and marvel at just how much respect God deserves. We also had the previous experience embedded in the fabric of our awareness as a constant quantity and object for our attention.  4/16/2001 Mon.
     A new dimension of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness at the 3rd eye chakra area during the next set of (15x) Hail Marys.  4/16/2001 Mon.
     During this service, we continued with the 3rd reading of the dictation by Archangel Michael, Vol. 28, No. 10.  4/16/2001 Mon.

a.m. decree service in sanctuary
     We note the dawning of the sacred fire glow of peace and freedom, at a level (3) on the (1-12) scale of intensity, during our opening statements, as we express our gratitude for the dedication of Mark and Elizabeth Prophet: "Beloved Father, I Am that I Am, I would like to express my gratitude for Mark and Elizabeth Prophet, for their blessed dedication to the will of God over so many years which gave me, and many others, the opportunity to find the Masters, the Teaching, and the science of the spoken word, and the opportunity to attend so many blessed conferences, seminars, and services at Camelot and the Inner Retreat, and of course for the opportunity to attend Summit University ..."   4/17/2001 Tue.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom emerges within the fabric of our awareness during the 3rd of (5x) Tubes of Light at a solid level (6) on the scale of intensity, and expands to a level (7), with a solid glow at the 3rd eye chakra area by the 5th repetition.  4/17/2001 Tue.
     During our 15 minute period of Helios and Vesta calls, about half way through, we were able to grasp onto the victory thoughtform, "God deserves my utmost respect", and as we focused on this we sensed that we were standing in an inner realm of illumination. We also have a clear memory of our experience yesterday in which we were given to perceive te presence of our Father/Mother God throughout all space. This is a very compelling memory.  4/17/2001 Tue.
     As we begin our I Am Light calls, as we ask Beloved Kuthumi for help in establishing this capacity to extend unto God the utmost respect at all times and under all circumstances, we get instant feedback in the form of a divine awareness that reports to us that we have indeed focused on an area that will return the most blessed dividends.  4/17/2001 Tue.
     It was not until we were 9 minutes into our 15 minute period of I Am Light calls that we gathered up the presence of mind necessary to focus on our victory thoughtform as a single cohesive unit, "God deserves my utmost respect." We received a definite sense of satisfaction and fulfillment when we achieve that focus, and we sense that we are tying into the most radiant part of ourself, that part that can freely praise God.  4/17/2001 Tue.
     As we focus on this goal of extending the utmost respect unto God as we enter into our 30 minute period of violet flame decrees, it is like the dawning of a new day. We are rising into the brightness of that region of being where there is only Reality, Shining and Radiant, where everything gives off a Light of sacredness. Everything about the landscape of this region is precious, and vital, and alive with meaning and purpose. And more glorious feedback is received at the prayer for assistance the precedes the actual beginning of the body of the violet flame decrees, "I am placing one hand firmly in the hand of Jesus, and the other firmly in the hand of St. Germain, and I am asking your gracious hearts to please assist me in giving these calls in the most effective possible manner to bring about the greatest possible clearance of all obstacles that oppose the full and complete development of that capacity to extend the utmost respect unto our Father/Mother God at all times and under all circumstances." The region of great hugs is accessed during the first minute of the 30 minute session.  4/17/2001 Tue.
     Which is it, which or that? For example, "Which one? That one!", for example, "Which one of these do you want? I want that one." The word "which" is associated with a question concerning the specification of a subset of objects. The word "that" is being used in the answer portion to delineate the subset. The use of "which" or "that" in these examples are not interchangeable.  4/17/2001 Tue.
     For example, "What (or which) is the best color to wear to a concert hall? That color which harmonizes with the music." Or is it, "That color that harmonizes with the music." To remain consistent with the above criteria, maintaining the distinction between the specification of subsets in contrast to a request for a specification of subsets, you would have to choose "that."  4/17/2001 Tue.
     But if you leave out the word "color", you can say, "That which harmonizes with the music." This seems correct.  4/17/2001 Tue.
     The word "which" is an abstract container for an as yet unspecified object. The word "that" is an abstract container for a known object, quantity or quality; a mental placeholder.  4/17/2001 Tue.
     "That which harmonizes with the music." That [subset of a large range of possible color choices] which harmonizes with the music.  4/17/2001 Tue.

     This is the 30th consecutive day of the Linda Healing Project.
Ritual outline: We begin repeating our Linda Healing Prayer when we get out of bed, "My Beloved God Presence, I Am That I Am, please allow Linda to feel your precious friendship, your precious love, your precious comfort, your precious peace, and your precious healing power. Please bestow upon Linda the intelligence that will enable her to recognize the difference between friend and foe." After dressing we proceed directly to the kitchen, remove five dog biscuits from the jar, and chop them in half to yield a total of ten pieces. Five for Linda, and five for Max. We proceed to the sanctuary, kneel at the altar, explain our goals, and ask for assistance. This includes a request that a squad of nature spirits and elementals to be assigned to tutor Linda in recognizing the difference between friend and foe, and sword work to cut Linda free from her fear and all aggressive tendencies. We depart the sanctuary, taking the white hand bell from the altar, proceed into the garage, open the main garage door, and walk over to the gate. We ring the hand bell, open the gate, say good morning to Linda and Max, pull the two trash barrels outside of the gate, walk back inside the gate and over to the chain link fence where the dogs are ready for their dog biscuits. After feeding four biscuits to each dog, in this order, Max, Linda, Max, Linda, etc., we pull the trash barrels back inside of the gate, and then walk back over to the fence and give each dog one more biscuit and a pat on the head. That done, I say goodbye, close the gate, ring the hand bell, walk into the garage and close the garage door.
     First of all, we had to pull the trash barrels out to the street curb late last night, so the movement of the trash barrels was not a part of the ritual today. Linda started to bark the moment we opened the garage door and she kept on barking until we arrived at the chain link fence. But as usual she stopped barking once she figured out that this was the time for dog biscuits. I believe that Linda was a degree more receptive today. I say that because during one of the dog biscuit feedings she remained standing on her hind legs with her paws against the fence while she started to chew the biscuit with me patting her on the head. It seem like part of her wanted to stay and get her head patted some more. I got to pat her on the head during each of the five biscuit feedings. As far as Max goes, he was a little bit more greedy today. A couple of times he was up on his hind legs looking for another biscuit before he finished chewing the biscuit that was already in his mouth. This interfered somewhat with giving Linda her dog biscuits, but not overly so. It might have had the effect of inspiring her to try harder.
     As noted above, this is the 30th consecutive day of our Linda Healing Project, and we have arrived at a fairly stable stage of development where Linda will take dog biscuits out of my hand and allow me to pet her each time without pulling back. As a general rule she feels no need to bark at me while the dog biscuit feeding ritual is going on.
     The next stage of progress we are looking to achieve is where Linda doesn't feel the need to bark at all from the point we open the garage door to begin the ritual, and where she will not bark at the movement of the trash barrels, and she will not bark at the end of the ritual when I have to walk away to leave. [c-notes recorded in office]  4/17/2001 Tue.
     After breakfast we took the vegetable scrap container out to the compost pile, and of course Linda is barking at me. After dumping the container I walked over to the fence to say hello to Linda and Max. Max of course is all excited and we pat him on the head, and Linda allows me to get close enough to pat her on the head, i.e. through her barking. Once she got a head pat, she stopped barking at me. I pulled in the trash barrels out from street and back inside of the front gate, and that of course started Linda barking again. I went back over to the fence to try say hello again, and Linda allowed me to pat her on the head again. Perhaps we should make this a regular part of our routine. Jorge was out in the back yard and came over to the dog pen area, and both dogs were really happy to see him. Once he was there, the dogs would not pay any attention to me. But of course it helps for Linda to see me standing there at the same time Jorge is there. This helps her to further understand that I am not her enemy. Jorge and I chatted for while, mostly about the dogs. [c-notes recorded in office]  4/17/2001 Tue.
p.m. decree service in sanctuary
     Again we are carrying to altar this heavy desire to take a break from our altar work. I am thinking that this is like unto a heavy cross that we carry to the top of Golgotha each and every day it seems.  4/17/2001 Tue.
     During our opening statements, where we invoke the light released in the dictations: "Beloved Father, Beloved Mother, I would like to express my gratitude for having had the opportunity to attend so many blessed services in the Chapel of the Holy Grail at Camelot, and for the opportunity to have attended so many live dictations in the Chapel of the Holy Grail and at the Inner Retreat, and I would like to take this opportunity to invoke the full gathered momentum of all the light released by the Ascended Masters in those dictations for which I was personally present, and for those dictations which I have either heard and read, both previously and subsequently, for the express purpose of expanding my capacity to be helpful in the great task of bringing in the great golden age of St. Germain." ... There appears in our 3rd eye area the presence of a divine reality that juxtaposed the value of our work here, against the prospect of lounging around in front of the television set, and there simply is no competition between the two. We are where we desire to be, the former condition has been defeated.  4/17/2001 Tue.
     We are nearly caught up with our footprint transcriptions for Monday 4/18/2000, perhaps another 30 minutes of work to go. Obviously, no surplus time was available to proceed forward with the task of implementing the web page layout/design changes.  4/17/2001 Tue.
     Who would possibly doubt the fact that the Chinese Communists will be using those Boeing aircraft that they are purchasing from the Boeing Company in Seattle, Washington, to ferry troops to Taiwan once they establish air superiority. This is complete and utter foolishness to sell such aircraft to a Communist Totalitarian State. Just because those aircraft are substantively commercial airliners, that doesn't mean that can't serve as military troop transport aircraft. Remember that for the United States to move a lot of troops fast into the Gulf region during the Desert Storm period, the U.S. military had to charter many commercial airliners to accomplish the task.  [expanded during transcription]  4/17/2001 Tue.
     During our (12x) Tubes of Light, no additional appearance of the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom emerged, beyond that which appeared during the opening statement. But during repetitions 6 through 12, a very heavy burden appeared upon the spine at a level at or just below the level of the heart. Though that burden has faded as we make these preliminary notes.  4/17/2001 Tue.
     This quote from Archangel Michael is taken from Pearls of Wisdom, Vol. 28, No. 10, p. 111, from a dictation given through Elizabeth Clare Prophet in the Chapel of the Holy Grail at Camelot on Sunday, February 3, 1985:
     And therefore, we circumvent those who have taken unto themselves the domination of the media and the press. And we link the lightbearers by the diamond heart of Mary and El Morya, by the blue lightning of our causal body. And there is a direct communication that is established in this hour of the oneness of all lightbearers of the planet, that your decrees might flow as a direct transfusion to their hearts through the Mighty I AM Presence to deliver them of the burdens of fear coming upon their hearts --- the projected fear and agitation of the fallen ones.
     And thus, you may know that your calls are sustaining the body of God worldwide. And do not mistake the imposters who come saying they represent this body; but know them only by their fruits. For the imposters have also learned to imitate the light of the eye and to draw the sacred fire to put on the appearance of The Faithful and True.
     There are two important themes in this quotation. The first theme presented by the Master is the importance of the decree work. Our decrees flow "as a direction transfusion to their hearts." And that our calls "are sustaining the body of God worldwide." It is very important that we assimilate the truth of this revelation. This will give us the strength to fend off the ploys of the darkness that would try to convince us that there are more important things to do than our daily decree work, setting us free to do more of the work that has beneficial impact for the cause of the light across the entire planet.
     And the next theme dovetails with this. The Master is warning us about imposters of the light who come into the community of the Holy Spirit. Note with great emphasis that this warning is given in the context of the first theme, i.e. in the context of the statements telling us that our decree work is very important. We can take from this that the first sign of the imposter of the light is in the minimizing of the importance of decree work.
     Of course, we all feel the pressure of the darkness that tries to persuade us that there is something more important to do than our decree work. Sometimes we may even bend the knee to this internal pressure, but even in our weak moments, we are never convinced that this is the voice of truth. We would never get up on a soapbox within the community and proclaim the value and the validity of this force of darkness. This is because, no matter how profoundly heavy the force of darkness weighs down upon us in its attempt to deter us from our altar work, the benefits we receive in the course of that altar work are constantly increasing our appreciation for that work. This is one of the true fruits of the path, i.e. an ever increasing sense of appreciation for the value of the science of the spoken word.
     The sign of the imposter is in the inability to recognize that it is indeed darkness that influences and presses a person to avoid decree work. Moreover, they do not have the counterbalance of the experience of the Light in the course of the decree work that allows their appreciation of the work to grow. That fruit makes a person an advocate of more decree work, not less. When the imposter confronts the force of darkness within himself, a force that has him walking out of the sanctuary even as he follows the crowd into the sanctuary on Sunday, he believes that he is confronting the truth, and he will become an outspoken public advocate of less decree work. While these imposters will do enough decree work to keep up appearances, they will nevertheless proclaim the need for the members of the community to do more of other kinds of activity. [expanded during transcription]  4/17/2001 Tue.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness at a level of (3), on the (1-12) scale of intensity, during our divine revelation recollection affirmations, specifically, "the revelation of the sacred fire of the heart, which was given to me in such a tangible manner (during an I Seek Thee decree matrix) that I felt like I had to do something at the time, and what seemed most appropriate at the time was to take a golden cup off the shelf, and to dip that cup into the sacred fire, and extend that cup of God's preciousness to another individual - and it was so tangible still that we took another golden cup off the shelf, and we dipped that cup into the sacred fire of the heart, and extended that cup of God's preciousness to another individual, " (15x), during which we go through the motions of dipping a cup into the sacred fire of the heart and extending it to another individual, using our new cup that has Christmas decorations on it, which has the inscription, "Angels we have heard on high."  4/17/2001 Tue.
     During this DRRA, "The revelation of the nourishment of God's glory spread abroad across the entire planetary body" (15x), we are made aware of a vision component, the actual shining of that glory at a distance, beyond the veil. The same is true for our desire body prayers: "O God my Beloved Father, my Beloved Mother, I Am That I Am, please grant unto me a desire body that desires only the victory of your will, the victory of your infinite goodness, and the victory of the nourishment of your glory spread abroad across the entire planetary body, and that passionately" (15x). As we gave these prayers, there is a quantity of God's glory placed as a shining beacon on the horizon of awareness, yet at a distance, and we can sense the flame of adoration stirring to life within in response to it. I just love this process that has my whole being bowing in the most profound honor before the glory of God. And when I say "my whole being", that's what I mean. You can sense the totality of yourself in that posture of honor, and it is a profoundly precious place to be. This sense of totality is a harbinger of wholeness in God, and just the taste of that wholeness brings great joy to the soul. [expanded during transcription]  4/17/2001 Tue.
     One must be conscious of the fact that as we perceive this, and record these entries, that this awareness is infinitely higher on the scale of fulfillment than anything you could see on the television screen.  4/17/2001 Tue.
     We have not experienced any appreciable success in extending utmost respect unto our Father/Mother God during the (12x) 30.08, Covenant of the Magi calls, or during our (45x) Michaels. It was not until the 33rd repetition of our (45x) Michaels that the opposition lifted enough for us to be aware that extending utmost respect unto God was a worthwhile activity. But instead of being able to capitalize on that, in fact, a heavy burden of sleepiness was lowered into my mind where it is now a struggle just to keep my eyes open. One might think or believe that this level of awareness can be achieved with ease. But there is nothing easy about it when the substrate of your consciousness is filled with an energy that repulses the effort.  [expanded during transcription]  4/17/2001 Tue.
     We should add this to the Linda Healing Prayer, "Please have mercy on Linda, and set her free from that mechanism in her brain that triggers unnecessary and excessive barking."  4/17/2001 Tue.
     The blessed revelation at the beginning of this service, coming to us without any additional effort during our divine revelation recollection affirmations, stands in sharp contrast to the difficulty we have subsequently faced in our effort to hold the victory thoughtform. What explains this? I believe that the masters can bestow any condition of awareness upon their students that they desire, i.e. in accordance with the divine plan for the soul. There are great gifts, and they give you a taste of what is considered a normal state of consciousness from the standpoint of the ascended and God-Centered state of consciousness. But once the decree work starts in earnest, you are required to slug it out with your own untransmuted substance. On some days this substance is much thinner and easier to move through than on other days. Certainly, the substance of your consciousness that refuses to come into alignment with the flame of respect, certainly fits the definition of untransmuted substance. It is substance orientated in exactly the wrong direction. As you feel yourself being pulled down the hill of awareness by this mudslide of misqualified light, you have to exert an effort to establish a beachhead of properly qualified, and properly orientated mind material. You have to establish the solid ground of divine sanity. Once that is done, the Masters will provide the increase. In other words, once the soul has stood its ground and refused to allow the hillside to slide any farther, the Masters can plant a garden of sacred fire delight on that solid ground. And in that manner, the entire hillside is turned into a garden paradise.  [expanded during transcription]  4/17/2001 Tue.
     Other than the appearance of a faint flow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom at a level (1), which was with us throughout the 15 minute period of violet flame calls, we did not have any success here either in focusing on extending the utmost respect unto our Father/Mother God. I guess you can say we have hit a rough patch of ground. At one point I asked myself, "Where is the desire to extend unto God the utmost respect he deserves?" And we looked at the substrate of our awareness, and we see that it very stubbornly insists on looking in any and every direction other than in the direction of God. I had no power to turn this around.  4/17/2001 Tue.
     During the 20.12, I Ratify the Judgment of Helios, call matrix, (includes 20.07 Judgment calls (5x), 20.09 Dweller calls (5x), .30 Solar Ring calls), we have approached a condition of sacred fire freedom, but we have not been absorbed into it. There is definitely a very stubborn forcefield of contrary energy hanging onto us tonight. The (5x) 20.07 Judgment calls partially cleared this substance, and the (5x) 20.09 Dweller calls partially cleared this substance, but about 30% of it still remains. That means that 70% of our awareness reports the reality of the presence of the sacred fire. But 30% reports to me that it is still embedded in this stubbornly clinging contrary energy.  4/17/2001 Tue.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness at a level of (5) to (6) to (7) during our last set of (15x) Hail Marys. This has changed the equation to 90% sacred fire awareness, and 10% opposition awareness. The quality of freedom is now tangible. And the quality of brightness is registering on our awareness.  4/17/2001 Tue.
     During our (3x) prayers to Beloved Sanat Kumara and Lady Master Venus: "Beloved Sanat Kumara and Lady Master Venus, please help me to develop the capacity to extend the utmost respect unto our Father/Mother God at all times and under all circumstances," a definite sense of the reality of our Father/Mother God comes to the forefront of our awareness.  4/17/2001 Tue.
     A greater sacred fire brightness registers on our awareness during the (1x) Astrea calls. We have now reached a 98% sacred fire awareness, juxtaposed to a 2% opposition awareness.   4/17/2001 Tue.
     Even with the revelations noted during our divine revelation recollection affirmations, we can only summarize this service as one of the more difficult ones, and dissappointing in terms of not being able to make any progress towards the goal of extending the utmost respect unto our Father/Mother God. The opposition was seamless in this respect.  4/17/2001 Tue.
