Daily Prayers in the U.S. House
Februay 8,
2001 | Daily Prayers in the U.S. Senate
Februay 8, 2001 | The
Reverend Jerry Sullivan, St. Mary of the Lake Church, Hamburg, New York, offered the
following prayer:
Praise and glory to You, God of all nations.
Bless the Representatives of this Nation as they meet in session. May
Your Will be the guiding force for their intentions, words, and actions. Forgive them the times
when convenience and self-interest have substituted for courage, kindness, and justice. Grant them
the grace to listen to one another with open minds and hearts. May the clarity and charity of their
words reflect respect for their colleagues.
Give them an understanding of the needs of our sisters and brothers in
this country who are often ignored, whose voices cry out to be heard. As You have blessed this
land with abundance, help the Members of this House, and all of us who are citizens, to be
generous to the neediest of persons beyond our borders, with a generosity that only You can make
possible.
We ask this in Your holy Name. Amen. | The
guest Chaplain, Rabbi Leslie Y. Gutterman, Temple Beth-El, Providence, RI, offered the
following prayer:
God of the free, Hope of the brave, we invoke Your blessings upon the
Members of this Senate. May they be filled with Your spirit, the spirit of wisdom, compassion, and
understanding.
Help these good women and men to keep America free from prejudice,
oppression, and strife. Let the Senators' deliberations fulfill our deepest spiritual desires and
promote justice, freedom, and peace. Cause their example to strengthen every citizen's capacity for
self-sacrifice on behalf of our country's welfare.
Hasten the day, we fervently pray, when security and abundance will be
the share of all. Amen. |
|
| During our 15 minute I Am Light calls (by
Kuthumi), we had a good success focusing on the victory of God's will. We struggled quite a
while with the morning clogged mind syndrome, but we reached an inner region of peace in which
the victory of God's will could be contemplated with ease, and we could focus on pouring all of
our desire into it. This is a point of progress in terms of our morning decrees which are normally
done out in the sunshine, and not in the sanctuary before the altar. A similar level of success
during the 30 minute violet flame session. [notes recorded in bedroom]. 2/8/2001 |  |
| We were listening to a Franciscan monk on
the
Catholic Cable Channel, EWTN, last night, who was saying that we have to wait until we die to
meet God. My response to that at the time was this: A dark stain of falsehood spread abroad
across the crystal dome of divine promise. [notes recorded in bedroom]. 2/8/2001 |
| Jesus met God and knew Him well, and
that
was well before he died on the cross. It was the power Jesus derived from that relationship that
allowed him to overcome death. [notes
recorded in bedroom]. 2/8/2001 | |
| Sacred fire of freedom appears on the 5th
repetition of (12) Tubes of Light, juxtaposed to a heavy weight upon the
spine. 2/8/2001 |
| A veritable breeze of sacred fire peace and
purity blows through the fabric of our awareness during the whole of our first set of (15) Hail
Marys. 2/8/2001 | |
| Day #46 of the strength of many
mountains,
and #44 of the golden portal of the heart and the many divine cities revealed therein, and #40 of
the many many fires of celebration of the glory of God, and #5 of the nourishment of God's glory
spread abroad across the entire planetary body. 2/8/2001 |
| After finishing our main preamble and
inserts,
and on the threshold of our 30.08 Covenant of the Magi calls, giving our special prayer to El
Morya, for the full divine geometry of the 30.08 call to be fully assimilated and integrated into
every atom, cell, electron of our entire consciousness, being and world, all chakras, all four lower
bodies as well, we are confronted by this most blessed vision of sacred preciousness, and it stands
in such sharp contrast to all of the struggling we have been going through trying to wriggle out of
the tangle of human inertia and weight and oppression that we had to deal with not only prior to
this decree service, but throughout the main preamble and insert itself. What was so interesting
about this was the fact that this blessedness stood juxtaposed to all human struggle, both past and
present, as the universal antidote. And also that it was so tangible and so real that it served as a
statement of the character of the Master El Morya himself. 2/8/2001 | |
| During our 30.08 Covenant of the Magi
calls
(12x), we were able to successfully enter into a region of blessed intensity in regards to holding the
thoughtform of the victory of God's will, and feeling the intensity of the desire. The geometry of
it, the structure of it appears to reside all around us as a self-supporting forcefield at
times. 2/8/2001 |
| A constant, uniform sacred fire glow
throughout the fabric of the mind over the course of the last 30 repetitions of our (45x)
Michaels. 2/8/2001 | |
| After a break, and after our (15x) Hail
Marys,
and after our Pearl reading, and after our Sanat Kumara and Lady Master Venus prayers (3x), we
entered into our violet flame session under a heavy cloud of oppression. One of those periods of
oppression heavy enough to remind you of Jesus' words on the cross, "Father, why hast thou
forsaken me". We struggled for quite a while against a strong downward pull of self-
condemnation, and a very strong pull upon our mind asking me, "why are you making this effort?
After all, it is of no use, you'll see." But in as much as it is now our habit to try to focus on the
victory of God's will regardless of our state of mind (during our decree work at least) we made
that effort, and even though this cloud of darkness mocked the effort, we locked into the awesome
beauty of God's will, and after that the heavy weight disappeared, and we finished the violet flame
session in a forcefield of serene sacred fire peace. And I thought to myself, and this is the key
point here, that if the soul is to ultimately pass through the initiation of the dark night of the soul,
the soul must be given a multitude of mini-dark-nights to pass through first. In this way the soul
becomes accustomed to facing the darkness, and in the face of this overwhelming illusion of
impenetrability, keep focused on the victory of God's will, keep the calls going, and watch the
darkness dissolve right in front of your very own eyes. No matter how heavily the false logic of
the darkness weighs upon your mind, you will be trained to ignore it, and to focus only on the
victory of God's will, which is light, and which is absolute freedom. 2/8/2001 |
| Would anyone expect a person who never
wore a pair of ice skates to enter into the competition at the Olympic level, and to win a gold
medal in figure skating? Of course not. A gold medal winner in figure skating has practiced every
move a million times, and when it comes to making those moves when it counts the most, the
skater is prepared to execute those moves perfectly. 2/8/2001 | |
| And so it is with overcoming the great
darkness
the soul must pass through during the ultimate initiation, the dark night of the soul. Prior to that
point the soul will have practiced the moves necessary to pass through that darkness and into the
Light, a million times. And when it comes to the point of the ultimate test, the soul is prepared.
The soul will be victorious because the soul has already won a million victories. The soul knows
how to win. 2/8/2001 |
| And in terms of explaining the purpose of
the
practice of decree work, this principle must be added to all the rest. For there is no other arena in
which the soul cal gain experience overcoming darkness other than at the Altar of the Holy Grail in
the midst of the flow of the Word. 2/8/2001 | |
|
A pronounced sacred fire glow at the
crown
chakra area during our next set of (15) Hail Marys. 2/8/2001 |
| Constant glow of a blessed sacred fire
peace
in the 3rd eye area during our (5x) 20.09 Dweller on the Threshold calls (part of the 20.12
matrix). 2/8/2001 | |
| The most blessed forcefield of sacred
serenity
during our .30 Solar Ring calls, multiplied even further during our (3x) Tubes of Light. Total
peace, total freedom, total clarity, total purity. 2/8/2001 |
| a.m. decree service in
sanctuary |
 No sunshine today. We enter this
service with the typical clogged mind syndrome, sleepy, finding it difficult to hold any kind of
focus throughout our 15 minutes of Helios and Vesta calls, though a hint of
sacred fire freedom appears in the fabric of our mind at the very end of the Helios and Vesta
session. 2/9/2001 Fri. | |
| Five minutes into our 15 minute "I Am
Light"
calls (by Kuthumi), a glow of sacred fire freedom appears solidly in the 3rd eye area, and remains
there for the rest of the session. It is like a bright beacon of great comfort in the darkness. We
follow it keeping it always before us, all of our attention drawn into it. It was easy to focus on the
victory of God's will after that. 2/9/2001 Fri. |
| About half way through our first 15
minute
violet flame series, we note that it is a very wonderful comfort producing exercise, i.e. making the
effort to focus on the victory of God's will. Our heart glows with the warm sensation of
"home". 2/9/2001 Fri. | |
| At one point during that violet flame
session,
we had succeeded to such an extent in our effort to focus on the victory of God's will that we
found ourself in an inner region embracing that victory, with the calls to the violet flame
continuing on their own outside of that compartment of concentration. At that point, even though
I was still giving the calls, I was not aware of the words anymore, so absorbed had we become in
our effort to focus on the victory of God's will. 2/9/2001
Fri. |
| What a profoundly heavy desire
we faced pushing us to take the day off and "rest" in front of the television set. If you could
actually weigh that energy, it would be the equivalent of trying to carry 200-300 pounds on your
back. Yikes! But again, thank God, profoundly, for strong habit patterns, which placed
us in front of the computer for our footprint transcriptions. (We have a very strong determination
to catch up on our footprint transcriptions, and to develop the habit pattern of making this work
the first order of busisness each day, i.e. in terms of our office work.) Very quickly, as we
transcribe the entry for January 30, 2001, the burden vanished and we are now seated in a
forcefield of perfect peace within the clear and tangible updraft of the sacred fire of freedom.
[notes recorded in
office]. 2/9/2001 Fri. | |
| In no way could we have looked forward
to the
main decree service of the day which always follows the transcription work. Couldn't imagine
making that effort at all. It was all I could do to get in front of the computer for this transcription
work. But now, everything out ahead of us is framed in the updraft of freedom's flame, and we
know we will complete the work, and be glad to do it. Just an amazing transformation.
[notes recorded in
office]. 2/9/2001 Fri. |
| p.m. decree service in
sanctuary |
Sacred fire of freedom
appears in our 3rd eye area during our opening statements, specifically that section where we
express our gratitude for the Mark and Elizabeth Prophet's dedication to the will of God which
gave me the opportunity to find the Teachings of the Ascended Masters and the opportunity to
attend so many blessed services and conferences at Camelot and the Inner
Retreat. 2/9/2001 Fri. | |
| Sacred fire of freedom appears in our 3rd
eye
chakra on the 4th of (12) Tubes of Light. By the twelfth repetition it is a powerful glow, it is a
parapet of a larger citidel of light. 2/9/2001 Fri. |
| We have completed our Michaels (45x),
our
Hail Marys (15x), our Pearl reading, our Sanat Kumara and Lady Master Venus prayers (3x), and
our violet flame calls (15 minutes) and through it all, a stubborn heavy burden on us constantly
trying to drag our mind into concluding that we should quit. But a fairly constant glow of sacred
fire in the 3rd eye area makes it bearable and allows us to move forward. Darkness and Light
juxtaposed. They definately clash. At times we have succeeded in focusing on the victory of
God's will, but the tugging and pulling of this oppressive burden makes it difficult to hold that
focus. It's like the entire logic of the astral plane weighs upon my mind, and the message "you've
got to quit now" seems to be boring its way into my soul, unrelentless and constant grinding
downward pressure. So, at this point we have decided to cut off this service after our 20.12
matrix. We will see if that conclusion holds. 2/9/2001
Fri. | |
| Beginning with our next set of (15) Hail
Marys, and through the 20.12 decree matrix, including the 20.07 Judgment calls, and 20.09
Dweller calls, the burden has mostly fallen away, by at least 90%, leaving a uniform sacred fire
glow throughout our awareness. This allows us to see the value of continuing. The
pressure of the "need to quit" logic is completely gone, with only a residual downward pressure on
the spine remaining. 2/9/2001 Fri. |
| A tangible intensity of sacred fire wonder
has
returned to our crown and 3rd eye areas during 7.21, Strip us of all Doubt and Fear calls,
(3x). 2/9/2001 Fri. | |
| Overall, I would rate this decree service as
ont
of the more difficult. Experienced times of sacred fire clarity of course, but those were only
breathers, or rest stops, in between very long stretches of oppressive burdens. 2/9/2001 Fri. |
| Music is designed by God to draw light out
of
the chakras to form the geometry of a divine fountain of light that raises the awareness of the soul,
drawing the soul up into the regions of divine freedom, and ultimately into the presence of God.
[notes recorded in
bedroom]. 2/10/2001 Sat. | |
| Music that has a divine geometry raises the
soul into the regions of real freedom. Music that has the geometry of human darkness, shifts the
awareness of the soul downward, into an illusion of freedom, ultimately into the very abyss of self-
annihilation, i.e. the annihilation of the capacity of the soul to know itself as a child of God. [notes
recorded in bedroom]. 2/10/2001 Sat. |
| What does this mean, the illusion of
freedom?
[notes recorded in
bedroom]. 2/10/2001 Sat. | |
| We finally made it to the sanctuary. This
is
another day in which our will power was nearly flattened into a pancake by this overwhelming
desire to take a break. We slept in. We laid in bed for nearly 2 hours listening to Christmas
Music, which is something we ought to do more often, watched a John Wayne movie "The Wings
of Eagles", watch "This Old House" on PBS, and finally pried myself up and off of the couch to
do our journal transcriptions. This was like walking straight into a hundred mile an hour hurricane
force wind. Up to that point there was nothing manifest within my awareness that spoke of divine
reality, only the heavy oppressive imperative to sit in front of the T.V. What got me up, more than
anything else was that my rear end was beginning to ache. But as we got into our transcriptions
(1/31/2000), a sacred fire glow appeared within my third eye area, and all that oppressing
resistance to the idea of work was pushed far away. We were free, not just to do this work, but
free to ponder the wonder of that power that can turn our world completely
around. 2/10/2001 Sat. |
| One of the main ideas in my mind, from
the
moment we woke up, was "no decrees today." This was our guiding star. But look at where we
are now! We are in the sanctuary read to go, albeit hours late. I would not be here if it were not
for the appearance of the sacred fire during our transcription work. That sacred fire cleared a
pathway where the value of our decree word could stand there before me as clearly as a pine tree
with many colored lights. 2/10/2001 Sat. | |
| Sacred fire peace and freedom appears in
the
crown area during our opening statements. 2/10/2001
Sat. |
| When we got past the desire to abbreviate
our
30.08 Covenant of the Magi calls from 12x to 3x, believing that gratitude alone ought to be reason
enough to tarry with the Master El Morya for the full 12 repetitions, we spent the rest of the 30.08
calls immersed in a quiet sea of peace with a glow at the 3rd eye area, a state of being so starkly
different from all of that struggling under the weight of that desire to "rest" to take a "break", yes
to take a "break" from this paradise. And it is paradise. We are fully ensconced in divine power
now, in forcefield that represents the dynamic condition of victory, the dynamic condition of
freedom. 2/10/2001 Sat. | |
| As we began our Michaels, we again faced
a
strong temptation to cut them short. After about 5 or so repetitions, our habit of trying to focus on
the victory of God's will began to take hold firmly, and we could see clearly that the beauty of
God's will was clearly worth pouring everything that you have into it, and after that point a sacred
fire glow took hold within the 3rd eye area, and remained for the entire session, providing a living,
glowing object for my attention into which we could easily pour all of our desiring for the victory
of God's will. That was one of our best Michael sessions in terms of being able to maintain a
constant level of enthusiasm for the victory of God's will for most of it. The sacred fire glow in
the 3rd eye area was the key to this success. But I should also note that during the times of
greatest intensity, the heart center came to the forefront of our awareness, and it appeared that our
great desiring in this regard was being channeled into the heart. 2/10/2001 Sat. |
| The same focus during our next set of (15)
Hail Marys produces a similar result in terms of having the heart center come forth into our
awareness, and having the sense that as you are holding the thoughtform of the victory of God's
will at the 3rd eye level, and pouring your desire into that sacred fire glow, that you are actually
pouring your attention into the heart. Clearly, these internal region realities can become, and will
become, far more compelling than the prospect of sitting down and watching a good movie on
T.V. 2/10/2001 Sat. | |
| Right now for example, the effort made to
hold
the thoughtform of the victory of God's will at the 3rd eye level produces an instant perception of
the quality of great beauty for which the heart exudes great passion. And there is a significant
comfort factor associated with the exercise as well. Of course, we are at the altar, and the Masters
are extending their assistance, but there is no doubt that one's strength in this regard can be
increased so as to give one the capacity to hold the vision even under the influence of the greatest
opposition. 2/10/2001 Sat. |
| A very blessed violet flame session (15
minutes). Uniform glow of sacred fire peace throughout, and consistent success in holding up the
thoughtform of the victory of God's will over extended period. What I mean by "extended
periods" is about 15-20 seconds of solid focus, until my mind lets go, and tries to take another
track. And we catch it almost immediately, and lift it back up, and so on. 2/10/2001 Sat. | |
| During the 20.12 Ratification of the
Judgment
of Helios matrix, during the 20.09 (3x) Dweller calls, a powerful presence of sacred fire freedom
appears in the 3rd eye chakra area, with a very expansive ambiance of clearance about it, a huge
chamber of victory. As we enter into the .30 Solar Ring section, a powerful impression of a
penetrating sword of white fire at the 3rd eye area. 2/10/2001
Sat. |
| Rising into the vision of God's will, and the
victory thereof, that's what it's all about. The blazing fires of paradise dancing playfully
throughout the fabric of awareness. What else can a soul to but bow down in the most profound
adoration before Him? 2/10/2001 Sat. | |
| Blessed multi-concentric ring sphere of
sacred
fire blossoms in our 3rd eye area during Great Divine Directors calls (10.08) (3x). But this is not
an object, but like all appearances of the sacred fire, it blazes within the fabric of
awareness. 2/10/2001 Sat. |
| As we get up from the altar after the
Sealing, I sense a cool flame burning at the 3rd eye. It is yellow, or perhaps more of a golden hue
and it has a definate shape. Like so [gif]. 2/10/2001
Sat. | |
| A couple of weeks ago, after making the
effort to memorize all the verses, we began the practice of singing the song "Holy Holy Holy Lord
God Almighty" during our bathroom shaving and shower chores every morning. This morning we
notices that the visions of the victory of God's will that we have been given during our altar work
over the past few weeks, came alive in our 3rd eye area as we sang this song, and that we could
pour forth the devotion embodied in this song into an objective perception of God's goodness.
[notes recorded in bedroom].
2/11/2001 Sun. |
| We listened to Christmas music for and
hour
and a half before we got out of bed this morning. [notes recorded in
bedroom]. 2/11/2001 Sun. | |
| This is the first time that our altar
experiences
have come alive in such a direct and tangible manner away from the altar in the sanctuary. [notes
recorded in bedroom]. 2/11/2001 Sun. |
| Also, we began giving our Michael
protection
calls slowly and in a very determined manner during the process of making our bed, having an
awareness that this was a very important thing to do. [notes recorded in
bedroom]. 2/11/2001 Sun. | |

Februay
12, 2001 | Daily Prayers in the U.S. Senate
Februay 12, 2001 | The
Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following prayer:
Lord God, today this Nation honors one of its great Presidents,
Abraham Lincoln. His was a time of great civil strife. His words tried to heal a torn Nation ripped
apart by war and the fact that ``one-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves.''
Again today we pray with Lincoln's sentiments for greater civility and
equal justice for all.
He reminds us: ``The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous
altogether. So with malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as You, O
God, give us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the Nation's
wounds, to care for those who shall have borne the battle and for widows and orphans, to do all
that we can to achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.''
We pray this now and forever. Amen. | U.S. Senate not in
session today |
|
| Sacred fire of freedom appears within the
fabric of my awareness on the 2nd of (12) Tubes of Light, expanding substantially by the 12th
repetition. This is juxtaposed to a burden of oppression upon the spine just below the heart,
moderately heavy, which we carried through the entire main preamble and insert (about 30
minutes). 2/12/2001 Mon. |
| I am at least grateful to be before the altar
again having skipped all decree work on Sunday. The desire to take a break was absolutely
suffocating, and therefore we spent quite a lot of time on the human side of the barrier reef, so to
speak, and we are still on that side upon completing our 30.08 Covenant of the Magi calls (12x).
Though, as I said, I am at least grateful to be here. 2/12/2001
Mon. | |
| Even though we feel like we are a
thousand
miles removed from it, nevertheless, God's infinite goodness deserves our most ardent adoration.
Even if we can't see it, it's there. 2/12/2001 Mon. |
| Spent most of our Michaels (45x) in a
multi-
dimensional, multi-faceted region of depressing, and oppressive gloom. No success at all focusing
on the victory of God's will. The weight of this oppression squeezed only sour thoughts out of my
mind. Even though I felt thoroughly justified in take a day off from our altar work, I know now
that that was the wrong thing to do, or rather not do. We have to carry an extra level of weight the
day after, including the guilt associated with being fooled into thinking that I deserved a day off.
At any rate, on the 38th repetition of our Michaels the sacred fire appears within the fabric of our
mind. What a relief. All of those sour thoughts are gone. It is simply impossible for the mind to
produce a sour thought when the sacred fire is there. The soul is too busy being happy and
relieved at its appearance. 2/12/2001 Mon. | |
| A new dimension of sacred fire peace
during
our next set of (15) Hail Marys. Praise God. 2/12/2001
Mon. |
| A steady uniform glow of sacred fire peace
and
freedom was present in the fabric of my awareness from the beginning to the ending of our violet
flame session (15 minutes). And this is what proves that the desire to take a break from our decree
work, which we felt so strongly yesterday, was a fraud. Why would you want to take
break from this? Why would you want to take a break from this work that will help others find
this very same paradise on earth for themselves? From this perspective it is inconceivable that you
would desire to avoid this experience of calling forth and receiving the very fires of
paradise. 2/12/2001 Mon. | |
| I wanted to mention that we had a good
footprint transcription session earlier. We entered into that work with our mind bombarded by all
of these barbs and darts of cynicism and skepticism. "Why are you doing this?" and "What's the
point" and "This is foolishness" etc. etc. After about ten minutes of work transcribing Feb. 1,
2001, we had that experience again of entering int the original updraft of sacred fire (which we
attempted to capture in words that day) and the work continued on in that buoyant state of mind
that is one of the hallmarks of the presence of the sacred fire. Anytime the soul can make the
transition from that dour mindset of human inertia, into the buoyancy of the sacred fire, which
lends the characteristic of divine certainty to the work at hand, that is always one of the high points
of any day, and so it was for me today in that instance. 2/12/2001
Mon. |
| We are almost caught up. Our goal is to
catch
up (we are just 9 days behind now) and to be able to keep up with the transcriptions on a daily
basis, i.e. transcribing a given day's notes on the following day, never having more than (1) day lag
between the day the notes are recorded in the journal, and the day they are transcribed and
formatted and posted on the web site. 2/12/2001
Mon. | |
| Before proceeding, I just want to make
note
of the disconcerting dichotomy that presents itself to us in these two experiences. On the one hand,
this mindset that holds out our decree work as this Herculean task that you simply don't have the
energy to complete on a particular day, that you must rest, lest something horrible befall you, and
on the other hand, this experience of the sacred fire of peace and freedom glowing within the
fabric of your awareness, and the certain knowledge that this is paradise, representing everything
the soul has ever hoped for, yes, the very presence of God and his indefeatable
power. 2/12/2001 Mon. |
| Well, all I can say about that is when your
mind is filled with darkness it still has power over you and it is very compelling, at least in this
guise, or should is say disguise. The darkness disguised as your best friend, thinking only
of your best interests, gee Steven, take a break, you deserve it, and don't give a second thought to
the millions of angels who will not march forth to defeat the darkness this day because you have
decided, and rightfully so, to plug your face into the television set, and watch one movie after
another. O how relaxing! O how invigorating! (As your life force gets sucked into the Astral
Plane and into the belly of the conglomerated beast that is behind the
disguise.) 2/12/2001 Mon. | |
|
A new dimension of sacred fire peace in the crown area during our next set of (15) Hail
Marys. 2/12/2001 Mon. |
| I just wanted to note that we are now
feeling
very foolish for succumbing to that "Take a break" delusion yesterday. This is the more clear as
we pass through our 20.12, 20.07, 20.09, .30 series of calls, as the sacred fire takes up a much
more tangible and glowing presence within the fabric of our awareness. 2/12/2001 Mon. | |
| I can tell you for a fact that, prior to this
decree service, I was completely unable to conceive of the possibility that we could have risen so
far in the course of this decree work. I am grateful. 2/12/2001
Mon. |
| And I can say this, that there is no doubt
about
it, that the entire false hierarchy on a planetary scale will employ every possible device to keep the
children of God from finding out that there is a way to consume the barrier of human inertia that
stands between the soul and God, and a way to draw down into the very temple of man the sacred
fire of paradise, and that this can be done today. 2/12/2001
Mon. | |
| All temptations to forego this work, have
their
origin in the false hierarchies. 2/12/2001 Mon. |

``I love you O Lord, my strength.'' David prays this with such great
abandonment.
Often when we pray, O Lord, it is with routine and out of daily
concerns. But when overwhelmed with distress and responsibilities, we sometimes approach
David's depths and cry out that You be our strength.
In this age of information and as a powerful Nation, we can easily be
caught up in our own agenda and see no further; foolish enough to think that we can accomplish
great deeds on our own.
But without You we can do nothing; nothing of lasting value, nothing of
true significance, nothing that will touch the people around us and move them deeply.
Help us now, O Lord, as a Nation and as this governing body.
Shield us from moments of crisis and distress. Instead, renew in us the
love You evidence in our history. Allow us to be so overwhelmed by Your loving presence today,
that with all our hearts we may pray:
``I love You, O Lord, my strength'' now and forever. Amen | The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following
prayer:
Almighty God, before us is a brand new day filled with opportunities to
live out our calling as servant leaders. We trust You to guide us so that all that we do and say today
will be for Your glory.
Since we will pass through this day only once, if there is any kindness
we can express, any affirmation we can communicate, any help we can give, free us to do it today.
Help us to be sensitive to what is happening to people around us. May we take no one for granted,
but instead, be communicators of Your love and encouragement.
We express gratitude for all the people who make this Senate function
effectively. Especially today, we thank You for the caring, servant leadership exemplified by
Loretta Symms who has just retired as Deputy Sergeant at Arms. We praise You for her
commitment to excellence, her 22 years service to the Senate, and her friendship to Senators and
staff alike. Bless her as she moves on to the next phase of Your strategy for her life.
Now, Lord, You have richly blessed this Senate so that You may bless
this Nation through its inspired leadership. In Your Holy Name we pray.
Amen. |

No sunshine today. Solid appearance of
the sacred fire of freedom in the 3rd eye chakra areas twelve minutes into our 15 minute I Am
Light decree session. 2/13/2001
Tue. | |
| Solid, shining glow of sacred fire of
freedom
in the 3rd eye area after 20 minutes of our 30 minute violet flame session. The glow extends
throughout our being, finally driving away the grogginess of sleepiness. Also a clear sense of deep
violet at the 3rd eye, and the sense of being encapsulated in a very intense region of effective and
constructive endeavor. 2/13/2001 Tue. |
| We are about a half hour into our
footnote transcriptions (2-3-2001), and I want to note that fact that the initial frame of mind with
which we embraced this work session from the beginning, i.e. uncertainty, skepticism, and a
certain sour cynicism around the edges, has given way to the sense of freedom associated with the
updraft of the sacred fire. I am greatly reassured as we come across recorded experiences that we
had completely forgotten about, which evoke now, a sacred fire memory as fresh as the original
experience, in terms of the buoyancy of the sacred fire updraft and its intrinsic updraft. [notes
recorded in office]. 2/13/2001 Tue. | |
| Sacred fire of freedom appears on the 5th
repetition of (12) Tubes of Light. Expand somewhat by the 12th repetition, juxtaposed though to
a moderately heavy downward pressure upon the spine just below the heart. 2/13/2001 Tue. |
| By the end of our 30.08 Covenant of the
Magi
calls (12x), we are embraced by a sublime presence of sacred fire peace focused in the 3rd eye
area. Our efforts to invest ourself into the desire of the victory of God's will, again brings the
heart to the forefront of our awareness, and we sense that the effort is actually extending from the
heart itself. Again I note a profound comfort associated with this effort. 2/13/2001 Tue. | |
| A new dimension of sacred fire peace in
the
crown area during the next set of (15) Hail Marys. 2/13/2001
Tue. |
| We begin our (10.00) Michael calls with a
strong glow of sacred fire peace and freedom at the 3rd eye area. This glow of sacred fire
remained constant through the entire Michael session (45x). No burdens, no oppression. Just
sacred fire freedom, establishing an arena in which we could devote our attention to the victory of
God's will. Clearly every decree matrix is a sacred opportunity to make this effort, to build up
one's strength in this area. 2/13/2001 Tue. | |
| During the violet flame preamble, insert, as
we pass our mind over the subject of the victory of God's infinite goodness across the entire
planetary body, we receive the feedback in the 3rd eye area, being impacted strongly with the
power of beauty, of a vast paradise. 2/13/2001 Tue. |
| During the entire violet flame session (15
minutes), we had a blessed glow of the sacred fire of freedom in our 3rd eye area, peace all
around, and through and through. This sacred fire glow is very useful in banishing all or most
temptations to allow the mind to wander, because your attention is focused on the blessedness of
that sacred fire glow. But even so, it still took considerable effort to hold the thought pattern for
the victory of God's will, and even more effort to focus on holding our desire body in that
configuration. In the midst of making these efforts, out of the background noise comes this
question, "Why?" And the answer is instantly clear. The goal is to have the panorama of God's
will, that magical tapestry of God's infinite goodness, always before your inner vision. This is
possible, and this is what we are working towards. We were only successful in entering into that
deep longing for a few moments, and again, I have to report that this longing is associated with the
heart. 2/13/2001 Tue. | |
| During our next set of (15) Hail Marys,
during which we always try to focus on the victory of God's will, the passion of the heart in this
respect again comes to the forefront of awareness. 2/13/2001
Tue. |
| A bright sacred fire presence in the 3rd eye
area that enfold our entire being in the updraft of the sacred fire of freedom during the 20.09
Dweller on the Threshold call (5x) section of the 20.12 matrix. 2/13/2001 Tue. | |
| The sacred fire is the presence of god, and
the
soul adores that presence. 2/13/2001 Tue. |
| Isn't this the essence of communism? The
rulership of those who hate God over those who are favorably disposed to the sovereignty of
God's providence? I think this is true for all forms of totalitarianism, even those forms which
purport to serve God's purposes. The fundamentalist theocracy of Iran is one example. The
fundamentalist theocracy of the Taliban that now rules much of Afghanistan is another example.
2/13/2001 Tue. | |
| These manifestations of sacred fire are
metered representations of God's Presence, allowing the quality of paradise to reside within the
fabric of awareness without beging so strong as to cause the soul to melt away into nothingness.
Without being so strong as to sweep away the free will of the soul. And without being so strong as
to eliminate the full ranges of choices that still remain before the soul on the Path of
Initiation. 2/13/2001 Tue. |
| And the task of dipping into the infinite
treasures of God's power and beauty, and withdrawing that prefectly metered amount that can
appropriately dazzle the soul wihtout burning it to a crisp, is the job of the Mediator, the Universal
Christ, the Only Begotten Son of the Father, that Christ in which we all share. 2/13/2001 Tue. | |
| During our next set of (15) Hail Mary's a
veritable gust of sacred fire at the crown chakra area. It is beyond peace. It is beyond freedom. I
can't think of any words that could even come close to expressing this quality. The distinction
between the Father and second person of the Trinity is becoming quite clear. 2/13/2001 Tue. |
| What an amazing crystal presence in which
we
are immersed as we finsih the first (3x) Hail Marys, after our 7.21 (3x), as we enter into our (3x)
series of decrees. What an amazing treasure. 2/13/2001
Tue. | |
| Another dimension of sacred fire glory on
top
of this crystal presence in the crown chakra area during our Illumination calls (20.00)
(3x). 2/13/2001 Tue. |
| During Hercules (10.05) (3x), the heart,
opening into a plane of being, boundless, vast, a garden paradise, the place where divine friends
meet. The place where the word "cherish" describes every relationship. 2/13/2001 Tue. | |
| We feel such a tremendous trust in
relationship to Mother Mary. 2/13/2001 Tue. |
| Life can be glory. Yes it can, if one could
register the reality of the heart daily. 2/13/2001 Tue. | |
| During I am the Light of the Heart calls
(3x),
the portrait of Mother Mary is presented to my mind in color. 2/13/2001 Tue. |
| We completed our 2nd reading of
Archangel
Michael's Dictation, Pearls of Wisdom, Vol. 28, No. 2, during this decree service. (1 page in
between each major decree matrix). 2/13/2001 Tue. | |
Daily Prayers in the U.S. House
Februay
14, 2001 | Daily Prayers in the U.S. Senate
Februay 14, 2001 | The
Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following prayer:
Lord, the psalmist cannot find enough words to express trust in You.
Personal experience of Your presence, care, and abiding guidance gives
rise to his song: ``O Lord, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer. My God, my rock of refuge, my
shield, the fullness of my salvation, my stronghold.''
Stir in our hearts today Your holy spirit. Touch the soul of this Nation
that we may see Your saving work in our work, Your strength behind our weakness, Your purpose
in our efforts at laws of justice, Your peace drawing all of us and the whole world to lasting
freedom.
You are ever faithful, O Lord, worthy of all of our trust, now and
forever. Amen. | The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following
prayer:
O God, here we are decked out with red ties, blouses, and dresses, ready
to celebrate Valentine's Day. Thank You for those we love--our spouses and families, our friends,
and those with whom we work. You are the artesian well of true love. Good thing, Father, for we
also need love for those we find it hard to like!
May this be a day in which Your love is expressed in our words,
attitudes, and actions. Particularly, we need Your help to express affirmation to those who need
assurance, encouragement to those who have heavy personal burdens to carry, and hope to those
with physical pain. Our prayer for each of these is not to remind You of what You already know,
but to place ourselves at Your disposal to be messengers of Your love in practical ways and in
heartfelt words. May this be a ``say it'' and ``do
it now'' kind of day. Amen. |
|
| The earth exists for one reason only, and
that
is to provide a platform of evolution for the redemption of souls. [notes recorded in
bedroom]. 2/14/2001 Wed. |
| We enter into our footprint transcriptions
with
the typical mindset of uncertainty and skepticism. Looking at all that needs to be transcribed, I am
wondering if we will ever actually catch up. [notes recorded in office]. 2/14/2001 Wed. | |
| About 15 minutes into the transcription
work
(2/5/2001), we find that our awareness has been lifted up into a blessed updraft of sacred fire
peace and delight. [notes recorded in
office]. 2/14/2001
Wed. |
| We enter this decree service remembering
the
tremendous trust we had in Beloved Mother Mary, and remembering that region of the heart, that
plane of existence, where the word "cherish" describes every relationship. 2/14/2001 Wed. | |
| Plowing through quite a bit of inertia and
oppressive weight through the first 4 repetitions of our (12) Tubes of Light. On the 5th repetition
the sacred fire of freedom appears in the crown chakra, and 90% of the inertia vanishes.
Proceeding onward towards the 12th repetition, we are contemplating how our life is composed of
many compartments, and in most of these compartments there exists an energy forcefield that
maintains an ironclad logic, latched onto the mind, that says, now is not the time to pour all that
you are into the desire for the victory of God's will. We have to change that, compartment by
compartment. 2/14/2001 Wed. |
| A new dimension of sacred fire peace
appears
within the fabric of my mind, primarily in the crown chakra area during our first set of (15) Hail
Marys. 2/14/2001 Wed. | |
| What an amazing oppressive burden we
have
upon us during this main preamble. Its like our etheric body has an extreme headache, and it's
racked with the aches and pains of a flu like virus. Its pressing down into our mind and feelings,
and it is nearly physical in several ways. 2/14/2001
Wed. |
| All of that oppressive garbage has now
vanished after our sword wielding session. (Wielding the blue lightening sword of Archangel
Michael against a variety of specific areas of darkness across the planetary
body). 2/14/2001 Wed. | |
| A uniform steady glow of sacred fire peace
throughout the entire 30.08 Covenant of the Magi calls (12x), with a strong glow building up in
the 3rd eye area at the 12th repetition. 2/14/2001
Wed. |
| We are starting the 3rd reading of
Archangel
Michael's dictation during this decree service, Pearls of Wisdom, Vol. 28, No.
2. 2/14/2001 Wed. | |
| A soft breeze of sacred fire lit up the fabric
of
our awareness during the preamble to our Michael calls. After we got through the initial wall of
inertia, the sacred fire glow remains constant throughout the Michael session (45x). Mid way
through the session, a very bright penetrating sacred fire glow in the crown chakra area. Good
success in holding fast to our goal of pouring all that we are into the desire for the victory of God's
will. Again, the heart center comes to the forefront of our awareness during this effort as a
tangible glow of white light spreading out evenly from the heart area. 2/14/2001 Wed. |
| A new dimension of sacred fire peace in
the
crown area during our next set of (15) Hail Marys. 2/14/2001
Wed. | |
| A rough beginning to our 15 minute violet
flame session. Lots of opposition, lots of inertia, lots of resistance to our effort to focus on the
victory of God's will. It was not until we were half way through the session that we were able to
gather up all or our attention and thrust it towards our goal of focusing on the victory of God's
will. The more completely you can give yourself to this, the greater joy it is. Yes! So even
though the opposition is trying to tear down your effort in this regard, as you move against that
resistance, you can actually feel the feedback, in the form of a deep happiness, come upon you.
We ended this violet flame session within a uniformly comforting sacred fire
glow. 2/14/2001 Wed. |
| A very strong and reassuring presence of
sacred fire peace appears within the fabric of our awareness during the next set of (15) Hail
Marys. [gif] 2/14/2001 Wed. | |
| A multi-faceted 20.12 Ratification of the
Judgment of Helios session, begins with a very strong desire to QUIT. Stop and go make
you dinner. During the 20.07 Judgment call (5x) section, the sacred fire of peace appears in the
3rd eye area, presenting us with the opposite mode of mind. Instead of wanting to quit, we were
grateful to be there. Proceeding forward with the 20.12 call, the desire to quit weighs down on us
heavily again, but during the 20.09 Dweller call (5x) section, that burden was again set aside by the
appearance of the sacred fire of freedom. Proceeding forward with the 20.12 call, and into the .30
Solar Ring section, we are half aglow with the sacred fire of freedom, and half being pulled into
that vortex of wanting to quit. We will go take a break. 2/14/2001
Wed. |
| After our break, a strong reassuring
presence
of sacred fire peace and relief appears in our crown chakra area during the next set of (15) Hail
Marys. 2/14/2001 Wed. | |
| The former cycles of oppression and
burden,
the "I want to quit" consciousness that tears down the divine identity, has the effect of making it
almost impossible to gather up our desire body and to focus it on the victory of God's will.
Somehow, it is like a steam roller rolling over the still small will of the soul. We can still go
forward with the calls, but the resolve to focus on the victory of God's will in the midst of the call
is greatly reduced. Therefore, in as much as this is an effort to hold the thoughtform of victory at
the 3rd eye level, then this opposition appears to be an attack on that specific chakra directly
(?). 2/14/2001 Wed. |
| Over the course of our (3x) series, each
interspersed with a (3x) Hail Mary, we have gradually risen into a uniform and even glow of
sacred fire peace, with a focused glow at the 3rd eye area. I really like this series. Its like stopping
by and seeing some very dear and special friends. (7.21 Strip us of all doubt and fear, 40.06
Purity, Astreas, Cyclopeas, Illumination, Great Divine Director, Hercules, I Seek Thee, Healing, I
Am Light, Light of the Heart, Helios and Vesta, Om Ah Humm.). 2/14/2001 Wed. | |
| Overall, this was one of the more difficult
decree services. Primarily because we got heavily dumped on prior to the 20.12 matrix, and the
sting of that is still with me. 2/14/2001 Wed. |
