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.

Daily Prayers in the U.S. Senate
Februay 1, 2001

U.S. House not in session today

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

   Almighty God, this is the day You have made, we will seek to serve You in it; this is Your Chamber, we want to honor You in it; this is Your Senate, we desire to maintain the unity of Your Spirit and the bond of peace through it. Give us an acute sense of the power of the words we speak. Grant the Senators the ability to disagree without being disagreeable, to declare truth without depreciation of each other's character, to state convictions without demeaning disdain, to refrain from egregiousness in an effort to explain, and to judge merits without being judgmental.

   Dear Father, this is a crucial day for the Senate. Remind the Senators on both sides of the aisle that what goes around does come around. Bless this Senate. Keep the Senators close to You and to each other so that when the vote this afternoon is over, we will not have lost the respect that galvanizes and the reconciliation that heals. We simply want to live this day knowing You will be the judge of what is said and how it is said. We commit ourselves to civility and care as men and women who are accountable to You. You are our Judge and Redeemer. Amen.

     From the moment we got out of bed, up to just a few minutes ago, about 7 hours, there was no experience of any divine reality, no sacred fire freedom. We spent over an hour creating a macro to automate the process of formatting our footprint entries. [adding appropriate html tags automatically]. Still no divine reality. Only after about 15 minutes of actually transcribing journal entries (Jan. 11, 2001) did the sacred fire presence appear within the fabric of our mind. What a blessed presence.  2/1/2001
     Yes, and what a contrast to the mindset that results when you are confronted with the need to shell out $500 for a new timing chain for the car.  2/1/2001
     After 12 tubes of Light we can honestly say that we now looking out over the landscape of our mind suffused with a sacred fire glow. That sacred fire glow carries our attention up and into the contemplation of the quality of freedom that it represents, allowing us to leave the former multi-layered cloud of worry and confusion behind.  2/1/2001
     During our preamble/insert, at the point were we are contemplating the fact that "uncertainty is never the will of God" [which we repeat 15x], we make note of the fact that in as much as the sacred fire of peace and freedom glowing and blazing within the fabric of our awareness is the very antithesis of uncertainty, then it could be said that because certainty is always the will of God. Then this sacred fire glow is always the will of God, i.e. it is always God's desire to have that sacred fire glow blazing within the minds of his children. Why then, we must ask, is not this sacred fire glow always present? Answer: Whenever it is not present, something is blocking it, which would be the substance of the anti-will, i.e. anti the divine will. And because God is apparently respecting this barrier of anti-the-divine-will, in as much as he does not break it down when it gets in the way of his desiring, we must conclude that this anti-the-divine-will barrier has the imprimatur of the soul, whose freewill we understand to be inviolable. Which of course makes perfect sense. We built the barrier, and must invoke the light of transmutation to dissolve it. Therefore, whenever the sacred fire glow is not manifest, a barrier is in force, and that barrier can only be dissolved by employing the science of the spoken word.  2/1/2001
     Though we must be clear about this fact, that the operative principle here is, "the call compels the answer," and it is the Master, whose chakras are a vast reservoir of Light, who answers, who releases the Light that dissolves the barrier, who releases the Light that takes up its abode in the fabric of your awareness, as we feel that sacred fire glow in the third eye chakra at this moment.  2/1/2001
     As the soul learns more and more about the many treasures of the heart, it follows that the soul will spend more and more time tarrying near this enchanted citadel waiting for the day that the draw bridge will finally be lowered and a royal procession of angelic knights will emerge and with great pomp and ceremony, lead the soul inside to be seated upon its rightful throne.  2/1/2001
     We spent the totality of our 30.08 Covenant of the Magi calls (12x), in a uniform space of sacred fire peace, with a focused glow at the third eye. That time spent considering that enchanted citadel referred to above. That is a rather bold scenario after all, but I do take note of the fact that it places the soul inside, and it provides a new dimension of personal ownership to the conceptual framework of our identity.  2/1/2001
     Sacred fire appears at the 3rd repetition of 45 Michaels. Very even, uniform glow of sacred fire from that point on. Good success in holding fast to the desire for the victory of God's will.  2/1/2001
     About five minutes into our 15 minute violet flame session, the sacred fire appeared, which helped to remind me that we were supposed to be focusing on the desire to bring forth the victory of God's will. We immediately placed that thought form at the center of our mind, and instantaneously we were presented with an airtight rationale for this effort, actually a vision, that made it clear that there is nothing more important for you to be doing than trying with all your might to invest all that you are into the desire to bring forth the victory of God's will. As we focused on this, another dimension of reality was added to it, and this appeared to extend from the heart, and that is the awesome beauty of God's will.  2/1/2001
     This is how the Masters communicate. In a flash they can present the most profound, awesome, and all encompassing "bit" of knowledge.  2/1/2001
     As we are running quite late, we entered into our 20.12 Ratification of the Judgment of Helios matrix with the determination to cut it short, being under the weight of that all too familiar blanket of human worry that says, "we don't have enough time to do this, so please hurry up and get it over with!" But, we are into this decree matrix only a couple of sentences when the blessedness of the sacred fire appeared at the crown chakra area in a circular pool of light, driving away all that junk generated by the human mind, and we were able to complete the full matrix with substantial exuberance and delight.  2/1/2001
     There's no question about it. The most valuable and useful mode of consciousness is that which fully recognizes and accepts God's love, and most importantly, God's infinite love for me personally. [note recorded in bedroom after 38 minute walk].  2/1/2001
     And so, why then is it so difficult to tune into? We have many, many strata layers of unworthiness n our subconscious, very strong momentums of living life without any regard to God's love, and becoming quite comfortable and acclimated inside of each of those layers. Each layer of unworthiness is a layer of the most deadly deception, which has the soul accepting as a natural part of life this ignorance and unconsciousness in regards to God's love for the soul. Because that love is life, ignorance and unconsciousness is a literal form of slow suffocation and self-annihilation. Fight then every say to affirm that love. [note recorded in bedroom after 38 minute walk].  2/1/2001
     The altar of the Holy Grail has a very specific technical definition, and that is, that place made sacred by the devotions of the soul, devotions that are in alignment with the purposes of God as those purposes are administered by that ancient hierarchy referred to by Mother Mary. The fallen soul of course cannot endow anything with sacredness. The forcefield of sacredness is established, maintained, advanced, via the return current of Light released by the Ascended Masters in answer to the invocations and decrees of the soul. [note recorded in office].  2/2/2001
     Your automated footprint formatting macro works really good.  2/2/2001
     We are seven hours into our day so far, and no hint of sacred fire divine reality.   2/2/2001
     As we stand before the altar, and begin our opening statements, the sacred fire blessedness appears instantly within the fabric of our mind. Beyond the blessedness of it, we note that the former condition of the intellect being closed in and clogged up, has given way to that characteristic sense of boundlessness.  2/2/2001
     Half way through our (12) Tubes of Light, the sacred fire opens up and expands to give us the sensation of standing in a pillar of Light, all is blessedness within, and it is amazing to stand in here, and contemplate the essence of freedom, juxtaposed to that wall of reluctance that we faced as we entered the sanctuary. We are past it of course, but it is still amazing that the power of God can deliver you so far away from that forcefield of slavery in such a short amount of time.  2/2/2001
     We are reading Beloved Mother Mary's Pearl of Wisdom, Vol. 28, No. 1, Jan. 6, 1985, during this decree service, which bestowed upon us an intensity of the heart as we entered into our Michael calls. Smooth sailing through a sea of peace around the intensity of the heart. All of sudden we able to plug into this intense desire for Archangel Michael to use these calls to bring about the greatest victory of God's will that could possibly be allowed at this time. We stayed in that intensity through the last two-thirds of our 45 Michaels. This is really the best place to be. Because your are totally encapsulated in that one desire, trying with all your might to make these calls count for the most tremendous victory. As the call goes forth, your heart is pleading with Archangel Michael to use the call to bring about the greatest possible victory.  2/2/2001
     Whereas the human mind, even my human mind, is at a loss to conceive of how such an intensity could be maintained on a constant basis through each decree matrix, it should be obvious that the human mind is not the source of it, and is incapable of maintaining such an intensity. That intensity and more does however flow from the heart on a constant basis. The power of the heart then must expand within the being of man.  2/2/2001
     We began our violet flame session facing a tangible monolithic sheet of sacred fire substance of violet hue. We were both facing it, and merged with it. It was a region of blessed reality which we were looking at from the outside but at the same time merged with it, as our entire consciousness registered only freedom. We could see that as the soul takes its place upon the throne of being having put on the fullness of the Christ Identity, that the God Presence remains the most blessed friend of the Christed Soul. Also, we were quite successful in remaining completely encapsulated in the desire for the victory of God's will throughout our 15 minute violet flame session.  2/2/2001
     A most blessed presence of sacred fire peace emerges within the fabric of our awareness during this set of DPUs (20x). (Diagonal Pushups, affirming God's infinite love on each up/down cycle).  2/2/2001
     That was a very interesting insight. As we gave our prayer as follows, "Beloved Sanat Kumara and Lady Master Venus, Please help me to be more devoted to the victory of God's will, the victory of God's infinite goodness across the entire planetary body", we experienced a sharp judgmental and cynical rebuke which said, "Who are you to talk about the victory of God's infinite goodness, especially across the entire planetary body? As if to say how can you speak of something so vast when you are such a puny little nobody. Instantly, on the heels of that rebuke, the reality of God's infinite goodness across the entire planetary body became apparent in the 3rd eye chakra area in a penetrating glow of sacred fire blessedness. That was the response of the Master to the haughty challenge by some spokes-person of the planetary dweller on the threshold. Nothing can stand against the Light.   2/2/2001
     That definitely qualifies as one of the more unusual and amazing inner region experiences I have had. The sacred fire glow at the 3rd eye remains.  2/2/2001
     Entering into our 20.12 Ratification of the Judgment of Helios calls, and after our 20.07 Judgment calls (5x), the glow of sacred fire peace and freedom in the 3rd eye area has expanded. Continuing on, through our 20.09 Dweller calls (5x), the sacred fire glow remains constant in the 3rd eye area, though a burden upon the spine below the heart has emerged. Continuing on to the end, through the .30 Solar Ring calls, the sacred fire glow in the 3rd eye area has remained constant, filling our entire being with the blessed updraft of the fires of freedom.  2/2/2001
     As we set up for our next set of Hail Marys (15x), rolling up our sleeves, ready to jump into the fray shoulder to shoulder with Beloved Mother Mary to work for the most tremendous victory of God's infinite goodness, and as we say that (i.e. that's what we say before we start), a powerful reality blossoms before us at the 3rd eye area, best described as a huge spherical cloud of pulsating Light charged with a goodness beyond the power of all words to describe, cram packed and dense with the fragrance of many flowers, and many colored flower petals. And it remains constant before us as we repeat "The victory of God's infinite goodness" over and over.  2/2/2001
     In this moment, during our next set of (3x) Hail Marys, our heart center is a circular sun center of shining light blazing forth the desire for the victory of God's will. Yes. That is who we really are. That is the best mode of being possible.  2/2/2001
     The circular sun center has internal rings.  2/2/2001
     The remainder of the decree service, about 35 minutes, was spent in the continuous contemplation of this blessed revelation of being. It was my heart that was blazing forth that desire. It was my heart that emerged as a sun center. This really does add a new and blessed dimension to the conception of self.  2/2/2001
     [re: 1-16-2001 footprints] In relationship to this subject concerning the relationship of the chakras and the four lower bodies to the physical being of man, all the organs that comprise the physical being of man, including the brain, we must make note of the obvious, that the physical vehicle, (even though supported by emanations from the chakras), is a platform of life that allows the soul to exist without any spiritual component to its conscious life. This is an important principle. The physical vehicle was designed as a platform of evolution for rebels who have rejected God. It was designed to support a life opportunity of limited duration in which not a single thought would be lifted unto God. In other words, spiritual thought or devotion is not a necessary component in the equation of survival, because many of those who would occupy these bodies had no capacity for such thought having lost that capacity in the course of their rebellion. But of course, the physical vehicle was also designed as a platform of evolution upon which the soul could make the transition back into the spiritual realm if the soul could be persuaded to do so. [note recorded in office].   2/3/2001
     Coming into this service we were under such a heavy weight of oppression. This had a personal dimension of desperation to it. No way to throw it off by any modality of human thought or activity. But I must note now that as we stand before the altar, that it all melts away and what appears in its place is the greeting of the sacred fire glowing within the fabric of our consciousness. What a blessed relief. This during our opening statements.  2/3/2001
     Uniform sacred fire glow throughout our Tubes of Light (12x).  2/3/2001
     Our prayer to Sanat Kumara and the Lady Master Venus, "Please help me to be more devoted to the victory of God's will, and the victory of God's infinite goodness across the entire planetary body," results in the revelation of the heart as the center of that infinite goodness. Can you imagine walking around with that reality glowing within you awareness at all times? That would be real living, that's what it means to be a child of God.  2/3/2001
     Doesn't this represent one of the most substantial paradigm shifts in terms of one's sense of identity? I mean, to have the awareness that your heart serves as a focal point for the infinite goodness of God, and that awareness includes the distinct and tangible impression of the power of that goodness, well, at this point the only thing I can say is that I look forward to the day when that is made a permanent part of my awareness.  2/3/2001
     It is time for the most humongous monumental hug for that Master who revealed that to you, and as you bask in the overwhelming glow of this reality, you can see how that particular hug could go on for eternity.  2/3/2001
     During our Michael decrees, during the last 15 of 45 repetitions, we succeeded in encapsulating all of our attention into the desire for the victory of God's will, which produces a tangible sacred fire forcefield of paradise. Its interesting, that rather than falling away from the effort to get at peace, you find yourself straining harder to pour all that you are into that forcefield of paradise, which delivers to the soul supreme comfort. This appears to be an example of the principle of supreme rest at the center of rapid and concerted movement.  2/3/2001
     As we roll up our sleeves, and prepare to enter into the great work of bringing forth the victory of God's will, and the victory of God's infinite goodness across the entire planetary body, shoulder to shoulder with Beloved Mother Mary, on the one hand we see the human inertia that is dragging down our effort to maximize the effectiveness of the calls, and we see that give way, i.e. crumble, before the realization that there is in fact no reason under the sun to ever allow the intensity of our effort in this regard to be limited in any manner. It has to do with the 3rd eye vision of the extent of God's infinite goodness, against which no human hesitation can cast a shadow.  2/3/2001
     During the first 7 and « minutes of our 15 minute violet flame session, we carried an intense downward pressure upon our spine focused just below the heart. This of course has the effect of dampening one's enthusiasm into a cold pancake. Against the backdrop of our previous observation, it provided a substantial challenge for us to keep focused on the victory of God's will, and focus with an intensity of desire that honored the true reality beyond the idea. Hard work. The burden disappeared exactly half way through the session, and our internal world gradually lightened up to the extent that when we were done, there was that blessed focus of sacred fire in the 3rd eye area, and all sense of burden was gone.  2/3/2001
     During our next set of Hail Marys, expanded to (30x), a new dimension of sacred fire peace in the crown and 3rd eye areas. And in the midst of this, as we were striving to focus on the victory of God's will, it was like we were given the assistance of Mother Mary's eyesight, cheek to cheek so to speak, where the vision of the victory of God's will bestows such a profound comfort upon the soul. The heart glows with such a longing to deliver the soul into that region of comfort, completely and totally.  2/3/2001
     The effort the soul makes to raise its attention to behold the victory of God's will is rewarded with such a bounty of profound treasure.  2/3/2001
     When Mother Mary said, "Let thy comfort be from God, and let it be sealed there," (POW Vol. 28, No. 1, p.4) let me assure everyone that she knows what she is talking about. The comfort of God is paradise.   2/3/2001
     The most blessed sacred fire peace in the 3rd eye and crown area during our 20.12 Ratification of the Judgment of Helios decrees, specifically at the 20.07 Judgment call section (5x). The sacred fire expands throughout the 20.09 Dweller on the Threshold call (5x), so powerful and tangible is this presence of bliss, that we are again in that mode where the totality of our being is merged with the flame of reverence, and our voice is reduced to a whisper. We are considering throughout, that when one is actually sealed in that region of comfort, of paradise, in the vision of the victory of God's will, that one's life cannot be devoted to anything else but returning God's children to that paradise. The shepherd stand in that fiery portal of victory, and from there extends his hand.  2/3/2001
     This updraft of sacred fire glow extends through the .30 Solar Ring calls, where humongous hugs extend out from my heart, and through to the end of the 20.12 matrix, and beyond. This was our pre-planned stopping point, but I find nothing in me that desire to depart from the altar.  2/3/2001
     The Masters reveal themselves to the student, not so much n terms of who they are, but in terms of the reality of God that they reveal to the student. The relationship of endearment between the Master and the student comes primarily in the context of sharing God's reality.  2/3/2001
     A most blessed decree service.  2/3/2001
     Not only is love behind all healing power, but the primary goal of healing is to bring the soul into the everlasting realization of God's infinite love for the soul personally.  2/4/2001
     Unless other noted, all journal entries are made in the course of my service before the altar of the Holy Grail, an outpost thereof, 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 Jesus to the left, and the portrait of St. Germain to the right.  2/4/2001
     We are here to invoke God's nourishment for the earth. That is the theme of our decree service today. The depth of my conviction in this regard is quite surprising, even to me. The concept of God's nourishment veritably glows and pulsates within me. It is real, and we are here to invoke it.  2/4/2001
     Over the course of our 30.08 Covenant of the Magi calls (12x), we felt this uniform and constant desire to pull down the nourishment of God upon the earth, a constant desire that appears to extend from the heart. But integrated into this passion is the knowledge that the ongoing calls are doing just that. In other words, there is a distinct dimension of accomplishment in this experience.  2/4/2001
     Sacred fire blessedness appears in the 3rd eye area after this set of (15) Hail Marys.  2/4/2001
      We call forth the nourishment of God's Glory across the entire planetary body.  2/4/2001
     Throughout the entire Michael session (45x), our heart was aglow with a white fire passion regarding the calling forth of the nourishment of God's Glory across the entire planetary body. That was all there was during the while session. The heart center clearly raised to the forefront of awareness, a passion extending from the heart, and a white conflagration within. The structure of passion was more or less suspended around me in terms of calling forth the nourishment of God's glory, so we did not need to expend any mental effort maintain it, i.e. to maintain the thoughtform. This is a first.  2/4/2001
     This is the passion of Christ, no more, no less. And I claim it as my own, as the most blessed state of being yet revealed.  2/4/2001
     In this concept of nourishment, there is this most profound desire to see revitalized every cell of every body of every child of God at all levels. It is that deep. Life expanded, strengthened and charged with Holy Purpose.  2/4/2001
     To be in the center of that desire is unspeakably fulfilling.  2/4/2001
     Our entire violet flame session (15 minutes), we were able to keep our attention on that glow of the heart, and to further contemplate the implications.  2/4/2001
     I want to be at the very center of that desire, that deep deep deep passion to call forth the nourishment of God's Glory across the entire planetary body.  2/4/2001

Daily Prayers in the U.S. Senate
Februay 6, 2001

   The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following prayer:

   Lord God, You created each of us in Your own likeness. In the divine image You created us. Male and female You created us.

   May we know our dignity by the very fact of our creation, our being, our very living this new day imaging You.

   May we treat each other with the sacred honor that each is due. Seeing Your reflection in the eyes of the other, may we touch intelligence, imagination, internal powers and know eternal freedom.

   Lord God, having come from You, living in You and destined for You, guide us in all we say and do this day, to sustain and further Your creation.

   Teach this Congress and all people of this Nation how to seek the best ways to be Your instruments of a new creation; loving only what is good and seeking only what is true and lasting, now and forever. Amen.

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

   Gracious Father, we join Americans across the Nation in celebrating the 90th birthday of President Ronald Reagan. On this day, Democrats and Republicans unite in thanking You for Ronald Reagan's life and leadership, his patriotism and character, and his wisdom and vision. Our prayers for our former President and friend lift us above politics as we pray that You will tenderly care for him in these days of illness and recovery from surgery. In Your wondrous grace, penetrate to the depths of his soul with Your comfort and assurance of our admiration. Through Your Spirit, may he somehow feel the love that overflows from the hearts of people here in the Senate and throughout the land.

   Dear Lord, bless Nancy Reagan as she continues to care for the President with indefatigable devotion and courageous love. Be with the family as they celebrate this day with the joy of wonderful memories and deep affection. We renew our commitment to pray for and support the research seeking a cure for Alzheimer's disease. Now we invite You to fill this Chamber with Your presence and each Senator with Your power for the work of this day. You are our Lord and Saviour. Amen.

     I need to record some context for the experience we had yesterday, Sunday, Feb. 4, 2001. On the (2) Sundays prior to this we totally succumbed to the idea that we needed to take a break, i.e. do nothing but sit on the couch and watch t.v., which we did. Last week we asked for some help so that would not happen again. Yesterday, the same desire to take a break appeared, but we had some additional mind ammunition that helped us to easily overcome it. We had this internal conversation, "You are trying to convince me that sitting in front of the t.v. has some kind of healthful, restful, and revitalizing effect that is more powerful than the sacred fire of paradise itself that we would invoke at the altar? That's simply absurd. We must trust and we will trust that what God released to us at the altar has a far more beneficial effect on body, mind, and soul, than any amount of time sitting in front of the t.v." The clarity with which we could see that, i.e. prior to coming before the altar was astounding, and it was easy to choose altar work over the t.v. "Rest and Relaxation" deception, and as noted, that decree service delivered another astounding watershed revelation.  2/5/2001
     Day #43 of the strength of many mountains, and #41 of the golden portal of the heart and the many divine cities revealed therein, and #37 of the many many fires of celebration of the Glory of God, and #2 of the nourishment of God's Glory across the entire planetary body.  2/5/2001
     Sacred fire of freedom appears in the crown chakra area on the 2nd of (12) Tubes of Light.  2/5/2001
     I am definitely looking forward to merging with that desire to call forth the nourishment of God's Glory across the entire planetary body. I want to be at the very center of it.  2/5/2001
     During our 30.08 Covenant of the Magi calls (7x), we have substantial success focusing on the desire for the victory of God's will. We were able to enter into a compartment, a region, in which we felt like we had been encapsulated by that desire, one with it, and it is a blessed place to be. After that, we resided in a generalized glow of sacred fire peace. Again, I must note that this desire emanates from the heart. When we merged with it, the heart center comes to the forefront of awareness.  2/5/2001
     Actually, during our next set of (15) Hail Marys, we can see clearly that that desire represents a point of perfect divine equilibrium, where the soul's sense of comfort, and of fulfillment is at is natural all-encompassing maximum.   2/5/2001
     There, the soul finds itself immersed in a fragrant cornucopia of divine beauty, pouring forth is abundance endlessly.  2/5/2001
     We find that the victory of God's will is the very substrate of the divine identity, it is the foundation geometry, as children of God, it is the very essence of our lives.  2/5/2001
     I am amazed anew ....  2/5/2001
     During Michaels (45x) as we tried to focus on the desire for the victory of God's will, our heart center came to the forefront of our awareness as an intense center of white fire. At one point we felt a heavy burden on our spine just below the heart, but it passed after about 5 minutes. Sacred fire glow of divine freedom and peace appeared in the crown chakra area, about half way through, and stayed with me to the end.  2/5/2001
     That was an interesting violet flame session. From the onset we faced stiff opposition, a pulling and tugging force that tried to pull you into a vortex of self condemnation. Even so, our desire to focus on the victory of God's will was strong, and we kept it at the forefront of our awareness, though we experienced the constant force of that opposition trying to tear down the effort, to erode it, to pull it down into a quagmire of defeat. I can say that even though we were trying hard and succeeding, there was no feedback indicating to me that the effort was useful or wise. There was only the grinding and depressing logic of the opposition, and my solitary effort to call forth the victory of God's will with no apparent answer. This went on for 12 minutes, when suddenly we found ourself suspended in a forcefield of sacred fire peace, with no opposition. The last 3 minutes were spent in this thoroughly comforting forcefield.  2/5/2001
     A new dimension of sacred fire peace in the crown chakra area during our next set of (15) Hail Marys.  2/5/2001
     As we did our Hercules calls (3x), we were struggling with the idea that we didn't have the time to add this call to the (3x) series. But on the second repetition, we were given a clear vision of the heart. Concerning the value of the call, and the fact that it will be answered, and the answer will be a blessing.  2/5/2001
     A wonderful sacred fire presence descends upon us during the first (3) repetitions of our I Seek Thee (50.04) calls. At first uniformly throughout the fabric of consciousness, there is a structure to this sacred fire presence, almost like the soul was inside of the structure of a rock that has the feeling of emerald light, expanding to a glow in the crown area.  2/5/2001
     I am thinking that this decree service represents another rung up the ladder, where we can more clearly see the fact that the desire for the victory of God's will, represents the essence of divine identity.  2/5/2001
     I don't think that there is any greater darkness that can come upon a soul than when it gets dragged into the vortex of interpersonal conflict. What a grotesque distortion of the divine plan. What a monumental fabrication of reality. The center of the vortex calls to you, pulls at you, convinces you that your rightful place, your home as it were, is at the center, fully engaged with all of the various streams of justification, fear, anxiety, doom ... It says, "If you leave, you will be sorry." And so the great temptation is to stay engaged, and as you stand at the altar, it councils you to at least keep your mouth shut. Don't let the word be spoken, the word that will shatter this hugely delusional energy field.  2/6/2001
     Again, thank God for strong habit patterns. It is amazing to see this forcefield turn around, melt away, and the energies of our consciousness rise into an awareness of the sacred fire right before our eyes, this during our opening statement, specifically that portion where we express our gratitude for having had the opportunity to be in attendance during so many live dictations in the Chapel of the Holy Grail at Camelot.  2/6/2001
     Before we even make it to our Tubes of Light, we are in exactly the opposite state of mind, with all of our attention lifted upwards in the updraft of sacred fire. The former condition, however tightly it had its grasp upon you before, is revealed to be an absolute fraud.  2/6/2001
     Sacred fire in the crown area after (3) of (12) Tubes of Light.  2/6/2001
     As we enter into our first set of (15) Hail Marys, as we roll up our sleeves, and prepare to dive into this great work, shoulder to shoulder with Beloved Mother Mary, of bringing forth the greatest possible victory of God's will, and greatest possible victory of God's infinite goodness across the entire planetary body, at that point, ensconced in our 3rd eye is the direct vision of God's infinite goodness, and juxtaposed to it, how silly human conflict appears.  2/6/2001
     Of course, when were in the midst of those vortices of conflict we did not have that vision, and so we did not do a very good job towards diffusing it. Though I imagine that if this vision could be held even in the midst of such a vortex, that you could do a much better job at defusing it. Something to look forward to.  2/6/2001
     Against the backdrop of this necessary achievement, how much more essential our daily service before the altar appears to be.  2/6/2001
     During our main preamble having a sense of golden fire leaping within me, I have to say that I am so grateful to be sitting here, having yet another opportunity to call forth the victory of the Light.  2/6/2001
     Day #44 of the strength of many mountains, and #42 of the golden portal of the heart and the many divine cities revealed therein, and #38 of the many many fires of celebration of the Glory of God, and #3 of the nourishment of God's glory across the entire planetary body.  2/6/2001
     During the first 15 of 45 Michaels, a blessed sheet of sacred fire whiteness appears in the crown area, and across the brow. We are having a successful effort focusing on the victory of God's will.  2/6/2001
     At the end of this Michael session I think we can estimate that we spent close to 80% of that Michael session focused on the victory of God's will. More specifically, 75% trying to focus on the victory of God's will, and 5% of the time actually locked into a thoroughly uniform desire in that regard.  2/6/2001
     That quality of sacred fire that glows now in the 3rd eye area which is the very essence of divine freedom, sets the minimum standard for the consciousness of God's children, and it is a standard accessible only in the course of the soul's service before the altar of the Holy Grail.  2/6/2001
     During our 15 minute Violet Flame session, we got to apply this exercise of focusing on the victory of God's will against a temptation to revolve a long standing problem with our next door neighbors in terms of loud music, and all the emotional turmoil associated with the task of putting a stop to it, and I have to report that the exercise delivers the soul into an oasis of peace, (even amidst the unresolved problem) and we can see furthermore that we seems to be a very narrow range of focus for the mind, i.e. the victory of God's will, is actually a sphere of infinity. That's right. We have our first sense of what it means to pass through the eye of the needle. Not that we have passed through completely, but at least we have our nose as it were through and we can small the fragrance of God's infinite glory on the other side.  2/6/2001
     We end this 15 minute violet flame session in a uniform forcefield of sacred fire peace.  2/6/2001
     We know this for sure, that it is wise beyond the power of word to convey, to make the supreme effort to pour the totality of your being through the eye of that needle, i.e. the desire for the victory of God's will.  2/6/2001
     A circular ring of sacred fire at the crown area, and within it a deep sea of peace, during the (3x) Hail Marys prior to the Illumination calls. The ring of sacred fire stayed intact through the 20.00 Illumination calls (3x).  2/6/2001
     Another dimension of sacred fire peace in the crown chakra area during our calls to the Great Divine Director (10.08) (3x).   2/6/2001
     Another dimension of sacred fire peace in the crown chakra area during Hercules (10.05) (3x). One can gaze into this sacred fire with all the sensibilities of the soul, and with the passing of each moment it is an ever new experience. Holds you attention and delightfully so, better than a good movie on T.V.   2/6/2001
     A new dimension of crystal fire tranquility from the tips of my toes to the top of my head during I Seek Thee calls (50.04( (3x).  2/6/2001
     I can see now that it is possible to get so accomplished in pouring your entire being into the desire for the victory of God's will, that your delight in giving forth the call can be strong at the end of the decree service as it is at the beginning. This focus will definitely transcend the normal human tendency to hurry up and finish once the end is in sight. I can see these two forces competing for attention, and I can see that the victory of God's will, the vision of it, swallows up the desire to finish the service. Sort of like the Staff of Moses which became a serpent that swallowed up the serpent fabricated by Pharaoh's court magicians.  2/6/2001
     Focusing on the victory of God's will is like looking into paradise. In other words, as you pour your attention into it, the characteristic of paradise floods back to you, and this quality of paradise impacts in your 3rd eye area.  2/6/2001
     As we focus on the victory of God's will across the entire planetary body during each successive (3x) set of Hail Marys, we feel the glow of sacred fire amplify in the crown area, and we are wondering if this phenomena is associated with the actual flow of Light into the physical octave.   2/6/2001

   Imam Bassam A. Estwani, Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center, Herndon, Virginia, offered the following prayer:

   All praise is for God, the Lord of the worlds.

   The compassionate, the merciful.

   Master of the day of judgment.

   O God, You alone we worship and You alone we call on for help.

   O God, guide us to the straight way.

   The way of those whom You have blessed; not of those who have earned Your anger, or of those who have lost the way.

   We pray that You guide this noble body of men and women to seek justice and equality for all. For as You said:

   O mankind. We created you from a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes that you may know and honor each other. Indeed the most honorable of you in the sight of God is the most righteous. Amen.

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

   The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.--Numbers 6:24-26.

   Father, we begin this day by claiming this magnificent fivefold assurance. We ask You to make this a blessed day, filled with the assurance of Your blessings. May we live today with the godly esteem of knowing You have chosen us and called us to receive Your love and to serve You. Keep us safe from danger and the forces of evil. Give us the helmet of salvation to protect our thinking brains from any intrusion of temptation to pride, resistance to Your guidance, or negative attitudes. Smile on us as Your face, Your presence, lifts us from fear and frustration.

   Thank You for Your grace to overcome the grimness that sometimes pervades our countenance. Instead, may our faces reflect Your joy. May Your peace flow into us, calming our agitated spirits, conditioning our dispositions, and controlling all we say and do. Help us to say to one another, ``Have a blessed day,'' and expect nothing less for ourselves. For 22 years, Arthur ``Tinker'' St. Clair, Senior Democratic Doorkeeper, has helped this Senate have great days. On the eve of his retirement, we want to thank You for his faithfulness, kindness, and loyalty. Through our Lord and Saviour. Amen.

     The power of the sacred fire appears in our 3rd eye area on the second of (12) Tubes of Light, steadily expanding with each repetition, unto a steady glow.  2/7/2001
     There is no greater goal than to come into the constant realization of the infinite goodness of God.  2/7/2001
     Day #45 of the strength of many mountains, and #43 of the golden portal of the heart and the many divine cities revealed therein, and #39 of the many many fires of celebration of the Glory of God, and #5 of the nourishment of God's Glory across the entire planetary body.  2/7/2001
     Taking a quick bathroom break after our 30.08 Covenant of the Magi calls (12x), we were able to hold the vision of the victory of God's will at the 3rd eye area, with the help no doubt of Archangel Michael, in as much as I gave his call going and returning. What I wanted to say primarily is that there is such a wonderful and joyful expectation and anticipation associated with the prospect of being able to hold the vision of the victory of God's will on a constant basis. We are not there yet of course, but we know it is possible, but not only that, we know that it must come to pass, and because we know that, we know that it will come to pass, and that certainty, well, as I said, there is a wonderful and even glorious anticipation associated with it. If your eye be single, your being will be full of light. I know this is true.  2/7/2001
     There is so much tangible reality to this focus on the victory of God's will, it is simply glorious, and awesome, and blessed.   2/7/2001
     Its like you are a bird free to fly within that great dome of sacred fire light. I can bank this way, O what Glory! I can bank that way, O what Joy! I can rise, and I can descend, but I am always within.  2/7/2001
     The entire (45x) Michael session spent in a tremendously strong and uniform sacred fire glow from the top of my head to the tips of my toes, with a prominent glow of sacred fire whiteness in the 3rd eye.  2/7/2001
     Swoosh! The most incredible multi- dimensional fabric of sacred fire descended upon us during the violet flame preamble. It was like a divine city. Magical. Serene. The full 15 minute violet flame session was spent immersed in a solid forcefield of sacred fire from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. This means solid bliss. Though bliss is such a crude word. I wish there were a better one. Solid, constant, unremitting glow of sacred fire delight.  2/7/2001
     A new and most precious presence of sacred fire peace illuminated the fabric of our mind during the next set of (15) Hail Marys.  2/7/2001
     In between major decree sets, we are reading Archangel Michael's Pearl of Wisdom, Vol. 28, No. 2, January 13, 1985.  2/7/2001
     Carried quite a burden of oppression through the entire 20.12 Ratification of the Judgment of Helios decree matrix, but that cloud broke, and a blessed sacred fire presence came through during our next set of (15) Hail Marys.  2/7/2001
     The most blessed penetration of sacred fire freedom at the 3rd eye area during Astreas (3x).  2/7/2001
