FOOTPRINTS ON
THE MOUNTAIN

Apr. 18, 2001 - Apr. 20, 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.

     This is the 31st 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.
     We have arrived at the recording of this entry rather late, and I am trying to remember if there was anything about today's session that is worth mentioning. We completed the ritual according to the outline. Repeated the prayers throughout. I suppose the only thing that is really worth mentioning is that after seeing what we would call the real Linda interacting with Jorge, that was yesterday afternoon, even though Linda allows me to pet her on the head while I am feeding her dog biscuits during this ritual, we can sense a definite layer or barrier of mistrust in her that will not allow that "real" Linda to come forth. When Jorge was there, Linda was a completely happy and excited dog. Though we must remember, that the fact that she allows me to pet her on the head, is really something that would have seemed impossible just one month ago. Of course we will keep moving forward with this project. Determination and persistence will pay off. [c-notes recorded in office]  4/18/2001 Wed.
     Loud music event occurred here between 6:05pm and 6:10pm. We are sitting here in the office working on our transcriptions and we begin to hear the thump thump thump of somebody's stereo coming through the walls of the office. We walked outside to see where it was coming from, and it was of course originating in the next door neighbor's back yard. We curbed the temptation to go straight over to the fence and shout over it to get them to turn it down. We have a plan already in place. We turned and headed for the sanctuary to give the 33.00 Ruby Judgment call (to give the Archangels the authority to bind the forces of stubbornness on this issue) as the precursor to any contact with our neighbors on this subject, and before we got to the sanctuary the music was turned off. So, we got to go back to work. This happened a couple of more times during this work session, but each time, when the music came on, it went off rather quickly thereafter, giving me the impression that there is at least one person over there that is trying to keep the peace, and that person seems to be prevailing. [expanded during transcription]  4/18/2001 Wed.
p.m. decree service in sanctuary
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness on the 3rd repetition of our (12x) Tubes of Light, at a level of (1) to (2) on the (1-12) scale of intensity, expanding and intensifying to a level of (6) to (7) by the 12th repetition. A moderately heavy burden appears on our spine at or just below the level of the heart during repetitions 10 through 12.  4/18/2001 Wed.
     We note a steady glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom within the fabric of our awareness throughout our divine revelation recollection affirmations at a level of (6) to (7) on the (1-12) scale of intensity.  4/18/2001 Wed.
     During this divine revelation recollection affirmation, "Golden Portal of the heart, and the many divine cities revealed therein." (15x), we see that the homosexual community faces the ultimate long-term tragedy. This long-term tragedy is found in the fact that the homosexual community is denying to themselves, through the practice of homosexuality, their entry into the divine city.
     The practice of homosexuality pollutes the energies of the chakras, spills the kundalini fires into vortices of deceleration, and causes the three-fold flame to be incrementally lost, which is the worst form of imbalance. Because the practice of homosexuality causes the disintegration of the spiritual life support systems of man, the lifestyle must be forsaken if the soul is ever to take and master the initiations necessary to return home to the sacred heart.
     The return to the sacred heart is our passport home to the divine city, the Kingdom of God, which is the only context for eternal life. This return home to the sacred heart requires the soul to walk a prescribed path of initiation, in which the chakras are cleansed, the three-fold flame balanced, the kundalini fire raised from the base to the crown, allowing the ascended masters to bestow upon the soul, in exchange for the soul's surrender of its carnal nature, increments of its true divine identity, which, when assimilated, will ultimately allow the soul to return to its divine estate.
     Because God has made it known that he will not strive with flesh forever, the homosexual community must look to that day when God decides that all opportunity to return home to the sacred heart has come to an end. What will happen to those lifestreams who have not returned home to the sacred heart by that time? On the one hand, they have not met the requirement for existence in the spheres of eternal life, and on the other, the life support systems that have heretofore allowed these souls to exist within the physical octave are being shut down. What alternative is left unto God? By that time these lifestreams will have been given hundreds and perhaps thousands of lifetimes of opportunity to forsake their self-destructive lifestyles. They will have been given abundant opportunity to set their feet onto the path of initiation which God has set before them. They will have been given warning upon warning that the day will come when God will withdraw himself and his hosts from this wrestling match with the paradigms of the carnal nature. When that day comes, there will be no place in the heavenly octaves for these souls, and there will cease to be a place where these souls can be kept alive on heavenly life support systems. And this is the tragedy, that when that day comes, God is left with no other alternative but to remove these lifestreams from the book of life.
     In terms of the ultimate purpose of life, which is reunion with God, it is clear that the homosexual lifestyle, if it is not forsaken, amounts to a self-imposed death sentence. All souls caught in this death trap must be persuaded that it is not in their best interest to remain there. And society at large must be persuaded that it is not in our best interest to encourage them in their fatal folly. By encouraging them, and sympathizing with them, we take on the patina of their self-defeating psychology which will provide substantial inner obstacles to our own success when it comes to placing our own feet on the path of initiation and to successfully completing the course back home to the sacred heart that is before each one of us. For their own good, and for our own good too, an enlightened society must maintain a posture of compassionate disapproval of the homosexual lifestyle, barring open homosexuals from any and all positions of honor, prestige and public trust.
     The people must just say "No!" to the homosexual rights movement. The people must just say "No!" to any and all attempts by the homosexual lobby to make the homosexual lifestyle appear as a legitimate mode of behavior. [expanded during transcription]  4/18/2001 Wed.
     This is day #3 of the revelation of the sacred presence of our Father/Mother God throughout all space.  4/18/2001 Wed.
     I believe it is true that this is the first time this quality of sacredness has been impressed upon my awareness, i.e. as a part of this revelation of the presence of our Father/Mother God throughout all space. The fingers of the soul can touch this presence, and what it feels is this quality of sacredness.  4/18/2001 Wed.
     A very wonderful sword wielding session, immersed in the glow of the sacred fire of peace, freedom, and paradise, at a level of (6) to (7) to (8).  4/18/2001 Wed.
     It is very wonderful to consider how much life would change and improve if this sense, of the sacred presence of God our Father and God our Mother throughout all space, could be held at the forefront of your awareness at all times. It would be an amazing life. This is not a presence that is in any way abstract, or distant. The presence is tangible throughout all space, and all objects in your immediate vicinity.  4/18/2001 Wed.
     During the (12x) 30.08, Covenant of the Magi calls, we were immersed in a sacred fire glow of peace and freedom and paradise throughout at a level of (7) to (8) on the (1-12) scale of intensity. We were somewhat concerned, given our experience yesterday, about what we would find when we would try again to hold our victory thoughtform, "God deserves my utmost respect," a little anxious about finding another wall of opposition, so we went about this effort somewhat delicately during these calls. But, happily, we find that the energies of our being are easily flowing in that direction today, at this point anyway, and that we could pour ourself into this part of our conceptual framework, "God deserves ..." with some amount of intensity, leaving the end open for the time being to accept the idea of praise, or adoration, or respect. One thing that was impressed upon our awareness during this effort was that it is important for the soul to establish the return current unto God. The soul must initiate this through free will choice. And the soul must tame all dimensions of being, and bring them into the service of this great responsibility of establishing that all important return current. [expanded during transcription]  4/18/2001 Wed.
     This was a very blessed and productive (45x) Michael session. We applied that knowledge, derived from the 30.08 call session, that established the fact that it is my responsibility to establish the return current unto God, and we were able to enter into our effort to extend the utmost respect unto God with a much greater level of determination. I think this knowledge helps to cancel out the power of justification contained in any and all distraction momentums which try to persuade you that you ought to be doing something else with mind and with your attention. We were not substantially swayed or even pressured to direct our attention elsewhere. We were able to successfully hold the conceptual framework, "God deserves my utmost respect" on a consistent basis, and on two occasions we were able to enter into the reality of it to a sufficient depth and intensity that we could begin to perceive the reality of the heart center. On several occasions we entered into that region of precious hugs unto the ascended masters. We were in paradise, and literally so, in as much as the glow of the sacred fire of peace, freedom, and paradise, remained constant at a level of (7) to (8) throughout the entire session. One thing we were able to tune into quite clearly was the desire to gather up all of the energies and resources of being, and form them into an orderly and pure column of energy that speaks only of my respect for God.  [expanded during transcription]  4/18/2001 Wed.
     This was also a very good 15 minute period of violet flame decrees. We were able to hold on the victory thoughtform, "God deserves my utmost respect," consistently throughout. Again, the former knowledge revealed concerning the important of maintaining the return current unto God was instrumental in neutralizing distraction patterns as they arose. No distraction temptation had the power to overcome the need to keep up the return current. The level of sacred fire glow of peace and freedom was maintained at uniform level of about (6) throughout. The heart center came to the forefront of awareness one time during the last minute of this session.  4/18/2001 Wed.
     As we continue our focus in this direction into our next set of (15x) Hail Marys, the heart center comes to the forefront of awareness during the 1st five repetitions, and a new dimension of the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears in our 3rd eye chakra area during the last (5) repetitions.  4/18/2001 Wed.
     We are able to make some progress on this point of extending respect unto God over the course of 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 were lifted into quite a powerful updraft of sacred fire delight during the (5x) 20.09 Dweller calls, at a level of (8) to (9) on the (1-12) scale of intensity.  4/18/2001 Wed.
     A new dimension of the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness, from head to foot, during the last (5) repetitions of this set of (15x) Hail Marys. A very tangible and precious stillness mixed with the qualities of paradise. It speaks to me of an emerald paradise.  4/18/2001 Wed.
     We are finishing up here with the 3rd reading of the dictation by Archangel Michael, in Vol. 28, No. 10, of the Pearls of Wisdom, as we read out loud the Messenger's prayer which appears at the end of this pearl, we are given another revelation of the heart, though I am hard pressed to find words to describe it. The revelation of the heart appears in the midst of this paragraph: "Almighty God, take us now in the legions of Archangel Michael. For we would defend the Faith and The Faithful and True and the Woman and her seed and the name of the Great White Brotherhood." At the utterance of the word "Faith", the heart center all of sudden became the focus of all my attention in the center of the chest cavity. The heart was revealed as the spherical center of ALL REALITY. We were given to see that what there is to defend is of the heart, and only of the heart. We were given to see that everything proceeds from the immensity of the sacred heart, that all the Teachings are contained in the heart, and that all knowledge is contained in the heart, and that the total matrix of creation is contained in the heart.   4/18/2001 Wed.
     The heart is the most glorious treasury that one could ever imagine. Clearly that treasury is of cosmic dimensions.  4/18/2001 Wed.
     From this perspective, considering that this sacred heart is intended to be the center of the life of every soul, we can only observe what a paltry choice some souls have made to allow themselves to be enticed into the prison house and death chamber of the homosexual lifestyle, whey they could otherwise partake of this glory. It is really sad.  4/18/2001 Wed.
     The heart is a huge cosmic city, a huge cosmic metropolis, bustling with divine activity.  4/18/2001 Wed.
     And this call, during the end of our service, in the midst of our (1x) Series, viz. "I Am the Light of the Heart, Shining in the Darkness of Being, etc.", takes on a whole new and incredibly wonderful dimension of meaning as we back in the afterglow of this revelation.  4/18/2001 Wed.
     And how could the soul ever become re- integrated with this stupendous reality without the services of the Mediator, in the person of the ascended masters? It would be impossible. One can only arrive at a particular destination if one has that destination in mind before hand. And I can say without a shadow of a doubt, that the human consciousness, on its own power, could never come within a billion light-years of imagining what the heart center is all about. The reality of the heart center can only be revealed from on high by those beings of Light who are immersed in that reality, who are one with the reality, who have the mastery to wield the powers associated with that reality. But even such revelations from on high are not enough for the soul to arrive at the destination of the sacred heart. The energies of the soul must be accelerated into a condition of fitness for life within that reality, and that can only come to pass again through the assistance of the Mediator.  [expanded during transcription]  4/18/2001 Wed.

      The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness on the 2nd of (5x) Tubes of Light, at a level of (1) to (2) on the (1-12) scale of intensity.  4/19/2001 Thu.
     We were able to focus on our victory thoughtform more successfully during our 15 minute period of I Am Light calls. The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appeared within the fabric of our awareness at about 3 minutes into this 15 minute period. At about ten minutes into this period, we finally connected with the truth that extending the utmost respect unto our Father/Mother God is the highest priority, and it was at that point that the reality of the heart center came to the forefront of our awareness, albeit briefly.  4/19/2001 Thu.
     I wanted to make note of the fact that last night we changed the wording of our love affirmation prayers that we give during portions of our daily 30 minute walk. As noted previously, we alternate between calls to Archangel Michael, and affirmations of God's infinite love, specifically, "O God my beloved Father, my beloved Mother, I accept your infinite love for me personally." We have changed this affirmation to read, "God my beloved Father, God my beloved Mother, I Am That I Am, deserves my utmost respect." We give this affirmation now on just 1 of the three legs of each lap around the block, devoting the other 3 legs of each lap to our Michael calls. We had to expand our Michael calls for security reasons. We do Michaels as we traverse the first three sides of our 4 sided rectangular route around the block, and the respect affirmations as we traverse the 4th side of our 4 sided rectangular route around the block.  [expanded during transcription]  4/19/2001 Thu.
     During our 30 minute period of violet flame calls, we were able to make consistent efforts to focus on the victory thoughtform "God deserves my utmost respect" and to hold it as a cohesive unit. The memory of the heart revelation of yesterday was present during much of the first 15 minutes, a fact which certainly helps to support the idea that God deserves our utmost respect. But we did not achieve any substantial penetration or absorption into the flame of respect itself. 99.9% of my attention remained on the surface of our awareness.  4/19/2001 Thu.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace, freedom, and paradise emerged within the fabric of our awareness on the 5th of 6 pages of the 33.00 Ruby Ray Judgment call matrix, at a level of about (4) to (5) on the (1-12) scale of intensity.  4/19/2001 Thu.

office work
     This is the 32nd 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.
     When I first woke up this morning, what went through my head first was "God deserves the utmost respect." This was repeated over and over nearly automatically. It took an effort to switch gears into the Linda Healing Prayer.
     As usual Linda begins barking at the opening of the garage door, and continues barking until I arrive at the chain link fence and start the biscuit feeding. I am thinking about changing our procedure somewhat. I am thinking that perhaps we should ring the hand bell while we are still inside the garage before we open the door. Linda will be able to hear it, as there are a couple of vents that open out into that area. The sound will be somewhat muted, but I am thinking that because the ringing of the bell is having significant impact on her behavior at the end of the ritual, that it might have beneficial impact at the beginning, i.e. before she hears any other noise. I am thinking that the barking at the opening of the garage door is so ingrained that if there isn't something that will distract her before she hears the garage door open, that it will be difficult for her to ever overcome the habit of barking at it. We will make that change tomorrow.
     Today Max was a quite a bit more rambunctious, overly excited, and greedy at the beginning of the session. This interfered with getting the biscuits to Linda. It took a while to get him to calm down. Other than that, everything went ok. Linda allows me to pet her with each biscuit. When all the biscuits were eaten up, I lingered a bit longer at the end of the ritual, petting the dogs on the head. When Max got the idea that there were to be no more biscuits, he went into a play mode with Linda, and the two were wrestling around with each other as I walked away. This means that Linda was not barking when I walked away and out of the gate. After I closed the gate and rang the hand bell, Linda instantly came out of her play mode, and started looking around on the ground for something. I can't say for sure what she's looking for, but I assume she is looking for dog biscuits.  [c-notes recorded in office]  4/19/2001 Thu.
     Respect is the foundation of the God- Centered state of consciousness that we all must achieve if we are to return home to the sacred heart. [c-notes recorded in office]  4/19/2001 Thu.
p.m. decree service in sanctuary
     The barrier of inertia, resistance, reluctance, that we face prior to arriving in the sanctuary is about an (8) on our opposition scale of 1 to 10. The value of (10) representing the level of resistance that would not allow you to arrive here at all. But we have arrived here, so the intensity of this opposition is not a (10). But it could be a (9), but to stay conservative, we will place it at a level (8). The knowledge that this power of resistance is not "real" does not diminish the intensity of its impact. The only thing that can do that is the sacred fire, which, in order for it to appear, we must open our mouth to invoke it.  4/19/2001 Thu.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom has appeared within the fabric of our awareness on the 5th of (12x) Tubes of Light at a level of (1) on the (1-12) scale of (sacred fire) intensity, steadily increasing to perhaps a level (3) by the 12th repetition. No heavy burden upon the spine noted. We are thinking that we want to make progress towards our goal of extending respect unto our Father/Mother God during this service. We desire progress in this regard profoundly.  4/19/2001 Thu.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness during the first set of (15x) Hail Marys at a level of (5) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity. There is present here, a spacial awareness of peace that has our awareness centered in a region that is completely free from the previous burdens of inertia and reluctance, etc..  4/19/2001 Thu.
     As Linda starts to bark, probably at Karla arriving home, here's an opportunity to give our Linda Healing Prayers (15x): "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." During these calls we are focusing on the fact that the goal is to connect with the resources of our God Presence, more so than it is to get Linda to stop barking, and by the end of the 15 repetitions, we are aware of a new presence of the glow of the sacred fire within the fabric of our awareness. We also note that Linda has stopped barking.  4/19/2001 Thu.
     During our divine revelation recollection affirmations, specifically this one, "The ambiance of the Ashram of the World Mother blossoming forth from my very own heart center," (3x), I feel that deep and profound desire to gather up all the energy of my being and to focus them into one single coherent beam of respect unto our Father/Mother God.   4/19/2001 Thu.
     Moving forward through our divine revelation recollection affirmations, an even greater blanket of opposition settles over us, nearly heavy enough to induce sleep. We would characterize this energy as totalitarian, anti-freedom, and anti-peace. Really heavily pushy, and pressuring us into a state of unconsciousness.  [expanded during transcription]  4/19/2001 Thu.
     This blanket of oppression stays upon us throughout our sword work, throughout our (12x) 30.08, Covenant of the Magi calls, throughout our (45x) Michael calls, and into most of our 15 minute period of violet flame decrees. In the midst of each of these decree sets, we have been making a determined effort to lock into our victory thoughtform, "God deserves our respect". We have been successful in manifesting quite a bit of determination in this regard, i.e. even in the face of this opposition. We have not allowed the opposition to direct our mind into a condition of passivity in this regard. We kept trying to lock into this victory thoughtform even though the opposition seemingly foreclosed any possibility of attunement with the actual flame of respect.
      Finally though, about 11 minutes into our 15 minute period of violet flame calls, we were able to go deeper into this effort, into the realization that it is imperative that we learn how to deploy the resources of the mind to the greatest possible benefit, and that means anchoring the configuration of respect unto God at all times. Just after this realization, the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appeared within the fabric of our awareness at a level of about (5) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity. This is the first appearance of the sacred fire since that blanket of opposition descended upon us during our DRRA's. This is Real freedom. Real relief. We feel normal once again.  4/19/2001 Thu.
     A new dimension of the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom, with the emphasis on peace, emerges within the fabric of our awareness during the next set of (15x) Hail Marys.  4/19/2001 Thu.
     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), has completely cleared our forcefield from all remnants of opposition, or the sense of opposition. During the (5x) 20.07 Judgment calls, the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appeared within the fabric of our awareness at a level of (5) to (6), and at that point we again came into contact with that profound desire to gather up all the energies of our being and to focus and to form them into a single, unified, and coherent beam of respect unto our Father/Mother God. During the (5x) 20.09 Dweller calls, the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom intensified to a level of (7) with a pronounced glow within the 3rd eye chakra area. The glow of the sacred fire further intensified during the .30 Solar Ring calls to a level of (7) to (8), during which we could again sense that profound desire as described, the profundity of it, I believe, qualifies it as a veritable passion. Very deep and powerful it is.  4/19/2001 Thu.
     Well, we were really hit with some thick and heavy opposition during this decree service. But we came out of it fully and completely into the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom, and that's called victory. And we made progress on our goal of developing the capacity to extend the utmost respect unto our Father/Mother God, as we came into contact, on several occasions, with the powerful desire, that passion, to gather up all the energies of our being and to form them into a single, unified, and coherent beam of respect unto God. This is a very precious state of being. These two points taken together, it is safe to say that during this service we achieved at least a two-fold victory. But I think that this service represents more than a two-fold victory. It was a three-fold victory in the sense that we faced very stiff opposition, yet we were able to at least maintain the mental effort to hold fast to the goal of extending respect unto God in the face of that opposition over quite an extended period of time. Such opposition has always, in the past, sapped my will power in terms of making an effort to hold that victory thoughtform, pushing me into a condition of passivity in that respect. But today we had more will power in that regard, in as much as we didn't allow the opposition to push us into a region of passivity, and that represents the third aspect of victory.  4/19/2001 Thu.

     This is the 33rd 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, ring the hand bell, open the main garage door, and walk over to the front gate. We ring the hand bell again, 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.
     We have made a slight addition to the routine as noted above, and as mentioned yesterday. We rang the hand bell while we were still in the garage, before opening the garage door, and Linda started to bark immediately. This is supposed to give her an additional space of notification before the other noises start. We will see how this works.
     The routine went about the same as yesterday. Though perhaps Max was a little less rambunctious today. Linda is barking up to the point where the dog biscuit feeding starts, and that is when she stops barking. Its seems routine now that I can pet her as I give her each of the dog biscuit pieces. Nothing different here. At the end of the ritual, where we bring the trash barrels back in, and then give the dogs an additional biscuit piece, we stayed at the fence petting both Linda and Max, and once they figure out that there are no more dog biscuits in my hand, they go into a play mode, sort of a playful wrestling with each other, and I am able to leave without Linda barking at me. This play mode was a part of yesterday's experience as well.  [c-notes recorded in office]  4/20/2001 Fri.
     Before we sat down here to do our transcription work, we were again wrestling with a powerful desire to take a break, to simply skip our decree work later this evening. I remember that this desire presented itself to my mind and feeling world immediately upon the completion of the last task in our schedule, which was our physical exercise session. We felt this desire the moment we started to take our shower, and its been dogging me through our breakfast session, and right up to this work period. It really had me going round and round inside of my head trying to figure out how I could justify doing it. If we just had one night where we could just sit and rest and watch t.v., well that sounds like a very needed vacation to me. What's wrong with that? Well, I suppose you could say we came the closest we have come in a long time to saying ok, tonight is a rest night. But, as we are getting into our transcription work, we are registering the presence of the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom, and we are noticing that the desire to take a break is no where to be seen. I mean, it's simply gone. We can look forward to the decree session that is upcoming, and there is no obstacle at all to us marching right in there, and doing that work, and gladly so. This is really amazing. Where or where is that previously powerful and overbearing force that had me believing that the best thing I could do for myself was to take a break? It has simply vanished. [c-notes recorded in office]  4/20/2001 Fri.
p.m. decree service in sanctuary
     There is only one way back to the heart of God, regardless of whether a person considers himself heterosexual or homosexual, and that way is defined by what is needed to successfully complete the journey. In the simplest terms, the carnal nature must be surrendered, and the divine nature must be re-integrated into the life of the soul.
     Because the carnal nature was adopted through a series of free will choices, the Law mandates that it be surrendered through a new series of freewill choices. Moreover, the spaces which are left vacant, which are to be filled by increments of the divine nature, can only be filled with increments of the divine nature through yet another series of free will choices. But the free will choice of the soul is not enough, in and of itself, to consume the carnal nature, or to anchor the fires of the divine nature. By what power and mechanism is the carnal nature consumed? This question has an answer. And by what power and mechanism is the divine nature returned into the possession of the soul? This question also has an answer. These are the works of God, administered by his servants, who are trained up in the appropriate disciplines for this purpose. Therefore, in addition to the series of right choices the soul must make in the surrender of the carnal nature, and in the series of right choices the soul must make in the adoption of the divine, the soul must surrender itself into the process that God has established for the fulfillment of these choices. That process is encompassed by the path of initiation, which is administered by qualified Sons and Daughters of God, who are known to the people of the earth as the Ascended Masters. The Ascended Masters comprise the contingent of intercessors and mediators who have been assigned the work of releasing the sacred fire of God for the consuming of the carnal nature, who are given access to the causal body of the soul for the retrieval of those elements of the divine nature which the soul has prepared itself to receive, and who are endowed with the power to reveal those elements of the divine nature unto the soul.  4/20/2001 Fri.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom emerges within the fabric of our awareness on the 5th repetition of (12x) Tubes of Light at a level of (4) to (5) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity.  4/20/2001 Fri.
     To enter into this process under the sponsorship and administration of the Ascended Masters, whereby the carnal nature can be incrementally consumed, and the divine nature incrementally revealed, the soul must place its feet upon the path of initiation, and meet the requirements that are associated with that path.
     The central requirement of the path requires the soul to enter into a daily routine of world service before the Altar of the Holy Grail. As the first and highest priority, the soul must regain its mastery in the use of the science of the spoken word, learning how to invoke the intercession of the heavenly hosts for the release of the sacred fire that will transmute conditions of darkness within the four lower bodies of the planet, and within the four lower bodies of the student himself. This is the essential process of balancing karma which the soul must complete, causing all darkness the soul has created both within and without to be consumed, and those burdened by that darkness to be set free. This is the core of the path of initiation, but there is much more to it, just as there is much more to an oak tree than the tree trunk. [expanded during transcription]  4/20/2001 Fri.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom emerged within the fabric of our awareness at the 6th repetition of (12x) 30.08, Covenant of the Magi calls, at a level of (5) to (6). By the 12th repetition we were able to grasp onto our victory thoughtform, "God deserves my utmost respect," and we remembered our longing to pour all that we are into a single coherent beam of respect unto God, and for a moment, the heart center was emphasized.  4/20/2001 Fri.
     As we ponder this deep desire to pour all that we are into the extension of respect unto God, and as I am very grateful to be able to return to an awareness of the deep longing at this point, we are at the same time looking back over our shoulder, and we see that earlier this afternoon, that this is what we were desiring to take a break from. That desire is amazing in its power to bend you over like a sapling in gale force wind. And the sapling says, under the force of that wind, "Truly I am bent. Though I do not want to bend in this direction, there is nothing I can presently do about it." We can only conclude, from this perspective, that the desire to take a break from our decree work, was a BIG LIE, is now a BIG LIE, and will forever be a BIG LIE. If we would have followed it, we would not now be in contact with what is a very precious part of my divine identity, i.e. that passion that desires to reach out to God with these arms and hands of respect.  [expanded during transcription]  4/20/2001 Fri.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness at the 5th repetition of (45x) Michaels, at a level of (5) to (6) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity.  4/20/2001 Fri.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom stayed with us throughout the 15 minute period of violet flame decrees, at a level of (5) to (6). We had a moderate amount of success in holding fast to our victory thoughtform, "God deserves my utmost respect", over the course of these violet flame calls. We did not however achieve any substantial degree of absorption into the flame of respect itself. We were mostly on the very surface of awareness throughout these calls.  4/20/2001 Fri.
