Apr. 21, 2001 - Apr. 23, 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.

     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom has appeared within the fabric of our awareness at the 4th repetition of (5x) Tubes of Light, at a level of (4) to (5) on the scale of s.f. intensity, with a distinct glow in the 3rd eye chakra area. I think the condition of morning grogginess limits our capacity to register the full impact of this sacred fire presence.   4/21/2001 Sat.
     For the Children of God, the word "democracy" brings forth a deeper inner knowing from the depths of the soul, albeit somewhat distant and intangible, of the possible reappearance of a golden age culture which all have experienced in the distant past, and know, deep down inside, can come again. For those angels cast out of heaven during the great rebellion, who live among us to this day, whom we refer to as the Fallen Angels, the reappearance of such a golden age promises at best a period when they will have no access to the reigns of power, and at worst, it is means a death sentence, in as much as a certain portion of their brethren, if not all, will face the final judgment. And therefore, deep within the recesses of their blackened souls, they nurse a boiling hatred for the prospect of the reappearance of a golden age culture, and what is of more immediate importance, they harbor the deepest boiling hatred for the concept of democracy itself. This is why the Communist dictators in China, if they have any say in the matter, will never allow the establishment of a democracy within the national borders of China. Because they are determined to have a say in the matter, their top priority is to let nothing get in the way of their control of the military and police forces, for they are deep believers in the famous maxim set forth by their illustrious leader, Mao Zedong, that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. We must admit that there is truth to this maxim, but only in this respect: Political power for Fallen Angels grows out of the barrel of a gun. Political power for leaders in a democratic nation grows out of the ballot box.  4/21/2001 Sat.
     Of course, the fallen angels who permeate society and culture in America also have a deep hatred for democracy. But our system of government, a gift from the very hand of God, has sufficient checks and balances incorporated into it, which makes their desire to amalgamate power at the point of a gun, at least in theory, and so far in practice, to be an impossible task. For the more refined and civilized of the fallen angel class, power derives from wealth, and this is the driving force behind the whole scenario of "free trade" with Communist China. These fallen angels simply lust after the wealth they could rake into their bank accounts through the exploitation of the huge economic potential of the Chinese market, home as it is to a captive audience of 1.3 billion souls. The intensity of their lust in this respect, is proportional to the intensity of their desire to maximize the extent of their control over the American population, and this is for one purpose, and that is to minimize the gains of democracy in America, and thus to forestall, as long as possible, the establishment of a golden age culture. And this is an important principle: behind all lust for wealth is a hatred for democracy. This may appear a hard to saying to many, but remember that what drives that lust is the desire for the power to forestall God's plan for America and the earth. This explains why western capitalists turn a blind eye to the fact that trade with China is strengthening the system of Communist Totalitarianism, strengthening the Communist hold upon power, strengthening their internal military forces, strengthening their internal police forces, and in a word, strengthening the chains of control they have around the Chinese people generally. They are comfortable with this situation because they have a similar interest in strengthening chains of control around the American people, through the means applicable to their situation, in this case, is through the acquisition of wealth. One of the most important ideas to grasp here is that fallen angel class in America who wear the robes of western capitalism are just as impervious to persuasion and reason on this subject as are their totalitarian brethren in China. They will never be persuaded that trade with Communist China is a bad thing. The only thing that can stop this shameless trade, which pours American wealth and technology into the stomach of a totalitarian beast, is an act of the U.S. Congress. [expanded during transcription]  4/21/2001 Sat.
     One of the most important Chapters in the Bible is the one that refers to the presence of the fallen angels in the earth. This would be Chapter 12 of the Book of Revelation that tells us about the rebellion in heaven and the fact that the fallen angels were thrown into the earth, right into the very midst of the children of God.

     I wanted to make a note here the fact that we are experiencing a great sense of fulfillment and satisfaction with the change we have made in our prayer work during our evening walks which we have referred to above. Those portions of our walk that are now dedicated to affirming the victory thoughtform, "God my beloved Father, and God my beloved Mother, deserves my utmost respect", are providing us with a very blessed dimension of feedback, and we find ourself looking forward to coming around the block and arriving at that leg of the journey where we can repeat those affirmations.  4/21/2001 Sat.
     When we woke this morning, and laid there in bed for a while, I was again surprised to observe myself repeating this phrase over and over, "God deserves my utmost respect." We did not really tune into the reality of it, but we were making the mental effort nonetheless.  4/21/2001 Sat.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appeared within the fabric of our awareness about 4 minutes into our 30 minute period of violet flame decrees, at a level of (6) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity. We were able to make consistent efforts to focus on our victory thoughtform, "God deserves my utmost respect," throughout this 30 minute period. But again, we did not penetrate any deeper than the level of the mental effort itself, though we were satisfied that we could make the effort at all, and even hold the concept in our mind as a cohesive unit on several occasions throughout this 30 minute period.  4/21/2001 Sat.

     This is the 34th 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.
     Linda began barking when we rang the hand bell inside of the garage, and she kept barking as we made our way out of the garage through the gate and to the chain link fence. I am thinking that perhaps we sensed a little additional hesitancy in Linda's initial barking. We changed the biscuit feeding routine a little bit. After we give the dogs their four biscuits, we lingered at the fence, and petted them on the head without giving them any more biscuits, and this seems to set them into a play mode, which couldn't last for long, because we had to pull the trash barrels back inside of the gate, which started Linda to barking again. After that we walked back over to the fence for the last biscuit feed. Once they chewed down the last biscuits, we lingered at the fence to pet the dogs on the head, and once they get the idea that there will be no more biscuits, they go into their play mode. During this play time we saw more of the happy and playful side of Linda. I walked out the gate and closed the gate and rang the hand bell without hearing any more barking. When I rang the hand bell both dogs were thirstily lapping up water from their water container, so we did not see any shift in Linda's behavior at the ringing of the hand bell that last time. She simply kept lapping up the water. [c-notes recorded in office]  4/21/2001 Sat.

     The glow of the sacred fire of peace, freedom, and paradise, emerges within the fabric of our awareness on the 6th repetition of (12x) Tubes of Light, and this with considerable force, at a level of (6) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity, increasing to a (6) to (7) by the 12th repetition. A heavy burden of downward pressure on the spine appeared at or below the level of that heart on the 8th repetition, subsiding somewhat by the 12th repetition. The wall of inertia we faced coming into this service was rather intense, so the appearance of the sacred fire was even the more welcome, like a good friend that promises to make the subsequent hours pass with great delight. If this sacred fire was attached to a face, I would want to kiss that face on the cheek to show my appreciation for its presence here with me.  4/21/2001 Sat.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace, freedom, paradise, and an added dimension of blessedness, emerges within the fabric of our awareness on the 6th repetition of (12x) 30.08, Covenant of the Magi calls, at a level of (7) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity, with a distinct glow at the 3rd eye chakra area. Remember. This is not a visual glow, though it has visual dimensions at inner levels in terms of the structure of the reality, especially in terms of the quality of vastness that it brings to your attention. When we use the word "glow" we are talking about the fabric of awareness aglow with various qualities, chief among those being the quality of peace, the quality of freedom, and that quality of paradise. It would be impossible to overstate the sense of blessedness that permeates our awareness while the sacred fire glow is resident within the fabric thereof. It is also impossible to overstate the level of satisfaction the soul feels in the midst of this sacred fire glow. It is also impossible to overstate the depth of this sense that the soul could not be in a better place than that which the soul currently resides in, i.e. in the midst of this sacred fire glow. In the midst of the sacred fire glow the soul could never in a million years be persuaded to trade that state of being for any other. In the midst of that sacred fire glow the soul could never be persuaded that it would be better off in any respect if it were doing something other than this work before the altar.  4/21/2001 Sat.
     The entire (45x) Michael decree session was spent immersed in a level (6) to (7) glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom. We tried to put effort into extending utmost respect unto our Father/Mother God, but we did not do so well on that count. We had difficulty holding the victory thoughtform, and therefore had no success in the task of pouring ourself into it.  4/21/2001 Sat.
     At the onset of our 15 minute period of violet flame decrees, a blanket of opposition started to settled down upon us, pulling me into a mode of sleepiness, making it very difficult to connect with our victory thoughtform, "God deserves my utmost respect." In fact, on two or three occasions during the first few minutes, as we tried to gather up the resources of being to reach out and hold fast to that thoughtform, we got a hold of it, but I guess through some kind of radar that is built into the soul fabric, I was immediately aware of the considerable distance between me and that thoughtform. It was uncannily clear that it was very very far away. Because of this, the temptation to quit trying surfaced immediately, but something else inside of me said, hold on, keep trying, keep it fixed in your mind, and it will come closer. And we kept trying, and it did come closer. In fact, after about ten minutes into the 15 minute session, we had a firm grasp upon it, and we were able to pour ourself into it, sweeping our arms over the vastness of the universe to indicate the awesome nature of God's creation, and saying "See! God deserves the most profound respect that you can possibly muster." And we were able to pour some substantial amount of intensity into the truth of the matter. We thought about the sacredness of the presence of God our Father and God our Mother throughout all space, and we thought about the garment of flaming praise and adoration encrusted with thousands of jewels of divine perception, and we reached a level of conviction about this conclusion, that to be passionate about extending to God the utmost respect, is the right, proper, and natural configuration of being for the soul to reside in, and I love to approach that passion in this regard. Looking up from our point of concentration, we observe the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom was resident within the fabric of our awareness at a level of (6) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity. We have defeated the opposition again.  4/21/2001 Sat.
     At the beginning of the (5x) 20.07 Judgment calls, part 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 asked Jesus to help us in our efforts to develop the capacity to extend the utmost respect unto God, and we made a solid connection into that realm of truth, where we could see clearly that God does deserve our utmost respect, and as we endeavored to extend that respect, our heart center came to the forefront of our awareness. It is becoming clear, that a life lived within the context of divine reality is a life lived within the fires of the most fulfilling passion.  4/21/2001 Sat.
     As we proceed forward with the text of the 20.12 call, we perceived that we are entering into that region of huge hugs unto God.  4/21/2001 Sat.
     By the 15th repetition of our (50x) Cyclopeas, we have within the fabric of our awareness, at the 3rd eye chakra level, a very blessed presence of absolute pristine clarity, at a level of (7) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity. The goal is easy to see from here, and that is to enter into that region of huge hugs unto God on a constant basis.  4/21/2001 Sat.

     At the end of the 5th repetition of our (5x) Tubes of Light, we find ourself amidst the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom at a level of (5) to (6) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity.  4/22/2001 Sun.
     We are now into our violet flame calls, and I wanted to note that we have been experiencing a constant and uniform forcefield of sacred fire throughout all call matrices up to this point, including the 15 minute period of Helios and Vesta decrees, and the 15 minute period of I Am Light decrees, at a level of (4) to (5), and we have been making consistent efforts throughout all of these calls to focus on our victory thoughtform, "God deserves my utmost respect" and we have been achieving a moderate amount of success in holding the thoughtform in the mental quadrant, but we are noticing how impervious the rest of our being is to the great mandate that lays before it to come into alignment with the actual flame of respect. This is becoming really clear during our violet flame calls, where we are achieving quite a solid lock upon the thoughtform, and we can look beyond the locked in thoughtform, and see clearly that the rest of our being is still mired in inertia. We then framed our focus on the concept of utmost respect, round about, with this additional expression: "I demand and command my being to come into alignment with the flame of respect!" And finally, (7) minutes into our 30 minute period of violet flame decrees, we penetrated into our first glimpse of reality, which reveals to us that God is the center of Life!, that this is the fact of all creation, and that our effort to place God at the center of our awareness, by endeavoring to extend the respect God deserves, is simply the effort to bring the geometry of my inner being into alignment with the fundamental geometry of all creation. Having seen this on the inner, this adds an additional dimension of enthusiasm for the quest, and I believe that the vision represents an incremental absorption of my awareness into the actual flame of respect.  4/22/2001 Sun.
     When we focus on our victory thoughtform, "God deserves my utmost respect," and we achieve a lock upon that thoughtform, and yet we can see beyond the thoughtform, to the fact that the rest of our being is not responding, that it sort of lays there inert, almost dead, in terms of any kind of animation, what we are facing here are those many layers of being which we have previously established, which conform to the anti-geometry that heretofore lived life, and reacted to circumstances around it, as if the human ego were the center of life. When you confront this inert mass with the idea that God is the center of life, it has nothing at all in common with it, does not find any relevance in it at all. And of course this is the dilemma. This substance that has been qualified with this anti-geometry, i.e. the human "me" as the center of life, has to be transmuted, redeemed, for it is a mass of blind error. And of course the observation of this general principle adds an additional dimension of determination to our effort to hold fast to our victory thoughtform. We must defeat the mass of blind error that we have heretofore woven around our soul, and we must do it by calling forth the fires of transmutation from the very heart of God and by endeavoring in the ever present here and now to focus all of our being on the illumined truth: That God is the center of life, and God deserves my utmost respect. [expanded during transcription]  4/22/2001 Sun.
     An additional dimension of the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom emerges within the fabric of our awareness at the crown and 3rd eye chakra areas at a level of (6) to (7) about 24 minutes into our 30 minute period of violet flame decrees.  4/22/2001 Sun.

     This is the 35th 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.
     Today we saw some very distinct signs of progress. I should first mention that during the initial prayers in the sanctuary, we added a request to the Ascended Lady Master Nada to please help to facilitate the flow of love from my God Presence through me to Linda.
     I should also note that when I was in the kitchen chopping up the dog biscuits, that Esther arrived home from church, which means that she pulled the car up into the driveway, and made all the noise associated with getting out of the car and closing the door, and Linda did not bark at all.
     So, when I entered the garage on my way out to the dog pen area, I was wondering whether perhaps Jorge took the dogs for a walk or something like that. But, while I was still in the garage, I rang the hand bell per our plan, and Linda started to bark immediately. That answered that question. Linda kept up with her barking as I opened the garage door, rang the hand bell again at the gate, opened the gate, pulled the trash barrels outside of the gate, came back inside the gate, closed the gate, and walked over to the chain link fence to begin the biscuit feeding ritual. But I should note this, that as I initially looked over the gate while I rang the hand bell, while Linda was barking, her body language communicated that she was more in a mode of expectation, than she was in a mode of fear and defense. She wasn't standing in one place while she barked. She was moving around quite a bit.
     After giving Linda the first biscuit, she took it into the dog house to chew up and swallow down. With each biscuit feed after that she chewed it up and swallowed it down without making that trip into the dog house.
     After the first four biscuits were given to each dog, I lingered at the fence and petted them both on the head. At this point they are getting into their play mode. I turned to walk away, to pull the trash barrels back inside of the fence, and Linda did not bark. As I pulled in the first barrel, Linda did not bark at that noise either. That's right. Linda did not bark at the noise of the first barrel being pulled inside of the gate. The first barrel is the smaller of the two, bright blue, on wheels, used for recyclable materials. When I pulled the larger trash container inside of the fence Linda started to bark immediately at that noise.
     Returning to the fence, I gave both dogs their last dog biscuit and lingered for a while petting them on the head. By reaching into my pocket and appearing to take out another biscuit, I enticed Linda to stand up and have her head petted several times, and I have to report that she was really enjoying it with her little stub tail wagging away. It is interesting to note that Linda showed more enthusiasm and happiness at just being petted than Max did. This new level of happiness on the part of Linda, beyond that which Max exhibited, is a significant sign of progress.
     As we walked away at the end of the ritual, and closed the gate, and rang the hand bell, there was no barking. Again, Linda was at the water container lapping up water at the point where I rang the hand bell, though this time she stopped drinking and looked up. But she did not bark.  [c- notes recorded in office]  4/22/2001 Sun.
     They will always be banging on the doors of Congress with their fist fulls of cash arguing for their point of view in the most vociferous manner. And isn't it ironic that the only thing that can stop this infamy is the true voice of democracy. The people must rise up and vote out those representatives who support this fallen angel trade agenda with a totalitarian state. [notes recorded in bedroom]  4/22/2001 Sun.
p.m. decree service in sanctuary
     The absolute opaqueness of the inertia that we confront as we face the altar is astounding. There is no hint that this is Light behind this wall at all.  4/22/2001 Sun.
     We should note that in the midst of our opening statement, which was a little more extensive than usual, we observe the emergence of the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom within the fabric of our awareness at a level of (4) to (5) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity, and as one would expect, the former sensation of a solid wall of inertia is gone, and vistas of freedom are suggested in every direction.  4/22/2001 Sun.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom expands to a level of (6) to (7) over the course of our (5x) Tubes of Light.  4/22/2001 Sun.
     When we consider that the source of freedom is God, that from God alone flows the will that empowers a people to establish and to safeguard the institutions of liberty, it is ironic to hear the advocates of free trade, in the course of their passionate attempt to guard the flow of cash into their bank accounts, to argue that the free trade supposedly has the power to establish freedom and democracy. If you endow a material world activity with the powers normally reserved to the one God alone, you make of that activity a god in its own right, but one that is false and hollow, without the power to deliver what only the true God can deliver, and that is, the deliverance of a people out of bondage, out of slavery, and into freedom. In this they have made a god out of free trade, and in as much as this is a god of cold cash, raised up before the people to guard the financial interests of the rich and the powerful, what difference is there between this false god, and the golden calf set before the rebellious Israelites, and worshiped by them, in the time of Moses?  4/22/2001 Sun.
     And this is another sign of the hand of the fallen angels. Wherever they set up a false god before the people, and entice them to worship it, it will, as a result, widen the gulf of separation that already exists between the people and their Creator, luring them into greater darkness, and ultimately into greater bondage.  4/22/2001 Sun.
     The question is, will God use the economic prosperity brought to China by free trade to set the Chinese people free from the chains of totalitarianism? If the Chinese people find that they can have economic prosperity without political freedom, where is there, in that mindset, to anchor the thirst for freedom?  4/22/2001 Sun.
     By the end of our (50x) Cyclopeas, we are immersed, from head to feet, in a most blessed forcefield of paradise.  4/22/2001 Sun.
     This decree service was characterized by a solid glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom within the fabric of our awareness at a level of (5) to (6) throughout. We encountered no opposition, and we were able to make some progress towards holding fast to our victory thoughtform, "God deserves mu utmost respect" during our (45x) Michaels, and our 15 minute period of violet flame decrees. Smooth sailing all the way through, that's the bottom line. A very easy and pleasant service altogether.  4/22/2001 Sun.

U.S. House not in session today

   The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:

   Yaweh our Adonai, how excellent is Your name in all the Earth. Today, as we return from recess and at the beginning of Jewish Heritage Week, we praise You for the immense contribution Jews have made to America. We remember the first Jewish community in Newport, Rhode Island comprised of Sephardim, persecuted Spanish and Portugese Jews who arrived in the spring of 1658. This group of refugees began to worship together in private homes or rented buildings until a synagogue building, the Touro Hebrew Congregation, was constructed. On the wall of this synagogue is a letter from George Washington expressing his belief in religious freedom as the standard for civil liberty: ``To bigotry give no sanction, to persecution no assistance.'' We also echo the words of Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island: ``All men may walk as their consciences persuade them, everyone in the name of his God.''

   On this day we thank You for the ten Jewish Senators and their strong moral and social consciences. May Your shalom rest upon us all. Amen.

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.
     Today's ritual ran into a slight obstacle. While we were in the sanctuary we could that the dogs were being fed their breakfast early. This means that we will not be able to fulfill the routine at the time we normally do it. After our sanctuary prayers, we still went through the preliminary steps. When we rang the hand bell in the garage there was no barking. We opened the garage door and there was no barking. We rang the hand bell by the gate we could see that Linda had her face plugged into whatever she was eating out of the big frying pan that serves as her dog bowl. She stopped for a moment and let out one bark, and went back to eating. We left her to eat in peace.
     We came back to complete the ritual after our backyard decree and sunshine session. Again, when we rang the hand bell in the garage there was no barking. When we arrived at the gate and rang the bell, the barking started at that point, but Linda was in her dog house. She was probably taking a nap after her breakfast and didn't want to come out. Once we got over to the chain link fence and started the dog biscuit feeding routine with Max, Linda came out and participated in a normal manner. Both dogs were somewhat more subdued. At the end of the routine during the last play session after the last dog biscuit was chewed up and swallowed down, Linda revealed her happy side, though for a shorter duration than we experienced yesterday.
     I hope that the early feeding of the dogs was just a fluke on the part of the neighbors. But only time can tell. It is better for us to complete our ritual before the dogs get their main breakfast. If they have their breakfast first, it will be about two hours before I can get back to complete the ritual, and that means it is much warmer getting on towards the noon hour. The fact they have already been fed, and its hot, reduces their enthusiasm.  4/23/2001 Mon.
p.m. decree service in sanctuary
     The first appearance of the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom during this decree service emerges within the fabric of our awareness 12 minutes into the 15 minute period of violet flame calls.  4/23/2001 Mon.
     We come to this decree service later, and we are abbreviating it. Yes, during our transcription work earlier, we found a barrier of opposition before us through which we could not proceed. It was a level (10) barrier on the (1-10) scale of opposition intensity. We were actually one with the barrier. We found nothing inside of us at all that wanted to continue with the work. So we left the office and went into the family room, sat down on the couch, and watched a movie. After that we still had to fight quite an substantial inner battle to make it into the sanctuary even at this late hour. At least we found the wherewithal to pursue a limited work session here, and I am grateful for that.  4/23/2001 Mon.
     I am very seriously considering the abbreviation of all of our p.m. decree services this week, in order to free up some extra time so we can finish the that part of the footprints project that deals with completing the design and layout changes across all existing files. I have a very strong desire to travel the last mile in that regard. Our current schedule just doesn't seem to give us enough time to keep up with transcriptions, and at the same time have enough time to complete the layout/design change phase of this project. We are actually getting behind in our transcriptions, which leaves us with no surplus time for the other aspect of this project. At this rate we won't finish it for another month or more.   4/23/2001 Mon.
     Though, taking into account that the Sun has just moved into the sign of Taurus, whose God-Quality is given to us by the Masters as God- Obedience, and whose perversion is disobedience, associated with the blindness of the misqualified energies of the Scorpio hierarchy of God-Vision, we will observe that we may be under the influence of a rather substantial forcefield of darkness. We can easily see at this point, and this is a completely different perspective, having the glow of the sacred fire within the fabric of our awareness, that to accomplish this, we would have to set aside the vision we have already been given in terms of the program we need to master. We would have to move to another program based on the force of impatience, which is another misqualification of the Ruby Cross. So it could be that we are being pressed to jump the track here. Certainly you were pushed all the way off of the track earlier this afternoon.  4/23/2001 Mon.
     In regards to the original vision, the first priority was to complete your decree work on a daily basis. The second priority was to make the entries in your journal as necessary. The third priority is to stay current on your transcriptions. The fourth priority was to complete the design/layout changes for all footprint files. The fifth priority was to reach a level of completion in all files that they could be uploaded to the server, and thereby putting you in the position of being able to send out an email notification to the community concerning the new footprint format. That was the original vision of the path that was set before us.   4/23/2001 Mon.
     One of the problems with abbreviating our services is that we would have to cut out the divine revelation recollection affirmations (DRRA's), which takes about 30 minutes to complete, which has provided the context for many of our closest encounters with divine reality. It doesn't seem very wise to eliminate that for any reason. We already skip that on Saturdays and Sundays.   4/23/2001 Mon.
     We have decided that this pressure is the force of darkness, and that we will hold the line according to the original blueprint. We will simply have to surround the effort with a much greater level of trust that God will place solid ground before us as we march forward on this path.   4/23/2001 Mon.
