FOOTPRINTS ON
THE MOUNTAIN

Feb. 20, 2001 - Feb. 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.

a.m. decree service in sanctuary
      "We must work for the victory of God's will". This phrase began to course through our mind before we even got out of bed. It made it easier to get out of bed. This is something new. Usually our mind is all clogged up with sleepiness and is unable to focus on anything in particular, except perhaps the desire and imperative to stay in bed and keep sleeping.  2/20/2001 Tue.
     A solid sacred fire glow of peace and freedom, of upliftment appears in our 3rd eye area 12 minutes into our 15 minute Helios and Vesta decree session.  2/20/2001 Tue.
     An inner region of sacred fire peace, focused at the 3rd eye level, forms five minutes into our 30 minute violet flame calls. That part of you that is impatient for the violet flame session to be over has been consumed, and what remains is that part of you that takes great delight in the presence of the sacred fire.  2/20/2001 Tue.
     A substantial glow of sacred fire peace emerges throughout the fabric of our mind during the last 4 minutes of our 30 minute violet flame session.  2/20/2001 Tue.
p.m. decree service
      We rearranged our schedule today to get an extra block of time in order to try to catch up on our footprint transcriptions. We did five days worth today, 2-10-2001 to 2-14-2001, which brings us up to the point where we are only one week behind. The transcription sessions were very smooth and productive.  2/20/2001 Tue.
     Day #58 of the strength of many mountains, and #56 of the golden portal of the heart and the many divine cities revealed therein, and #52 of the many many fires of celebration of the glory of God, and #17 of the nourishment of God's glory spread abroad across the entire planetary body, and #8 of the garden paradise of the heart, the place where divine friends meet, the place where the word "cherish" describes every relationship.  2/20/2001 Tue.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears in our 3rd eye chakra area on the 4th repetition of (12) Tubes of Light.  2/20/2001 Tue.
     A most blessed presence of sacred fire peace and crystal stillness appears within the fabric of our awareness, especially spread across our brow at the close of the first set of (15) Hail Marys.  2/20/2001 Tue.
     During El Morya's 30.08 Covenant of the Magi calls (12x), the thoughtform of the victory of God's will formed fairly easily as a coherent unit, and we were able to hold as an object of our longing, the passion for the victory of God's will that we know forms the substrate of our divine identity.  2/20/2001 Tue.
     Sacred fire of peace and freedom appears in our 3rd eye area on the 28th repetition of (45x) Michaels. Prior to that point my mind was filled with distractions.  2/20/2001 Tue.
     Its pretty clear what the Communist Chinese are u to in their efforts to help Saddam Hussein of Iraq build up his military strength. If Saddam Hussein's military can be built up, that's one giant step closer to another major conflict between Iraq and the United States, which would serve to divert U.S. Military resources to the Gulf region, pin down U.S. strength there, allowing the Communist Chinese to take Taiwan by force without the threat of U.S. intervention.  2/20/2001 Tue.
      During the next set of (15) Hail Marys, we were wondering where the passion is in regards to the desire for the victory of God's will. We were wondering about this while under this blanket of malaise that has settled over us. The answer came back to us almost instantly, showing us that without your own effort to maintain the thoughtform of the victory of God's will at the 3rd eye level, that passion can never appear. So, in other words, you cannot indulge laziness in this regard if you want that passion to be an ever present fact of your life. This insight was accompanied by the emergence of a strong glow of sacred fire in the 3rd eye area.  2/20/2001 Tue.
     A distinct and tangible flush of sacred fire peace and freedom spread across the brow at the 3rd eye level as we begin to invoke the multiplication dispensation of Omri Tas as we begin our 15 minute violet flame session.  2/20/2001 Tue.
     Ok. Now that's better. 5 minutes into our violet flame calls we had achieved a good level of intensity in regards to the effort of holding the thoughtform of the victory of God's will. At this point we are immersed in an even, uniform sacred fire glow from head to feet. Over the next five minutes we succeed in dipping into the actual desire for the victory of God's will. When you touch this desire you sense the all encompassing nature of it, i.e. for those moments of integration you are fully inside of it. For the last five minutes we reach what I think is a new level of intensity where the thoughtform expanded to this" "One desire, one purpose, the victory of God's will." Here the addition of the concept of purpose allowed us to more fully engage all our being with great conviction. Also as we made this effort of holding the thoughtform at the 3rd eye level, in those moments when all the pieces would come together into a cohesive whole, a situation which was characterized by that sensation of actually enteringinto the desire itself, where the inner vision begins to open up and the beauty of God's will begins to register on the soul, we got the impression that all the energies of being were being gathered up from below and swept up to the 3rd eye level and contained there for that moment of integration in which we experienced the coming together of all elements. Obviously, a great fervent and concerted effort is necessary to lift it all up, and bring it all together.  2/20/2001 Tue.
     Thus, I have to say this, that it is impossible for a lazy person to regain his or her divine estate. The whole process of anchoring just this fundamental aspect of our divine identity, i.e. that passion for the victory of God's will, in terms of the effort required, validates this conclusion beyond any shadow of a doubt.  2/20/2001 Tue.
     In our effort to re-establish the strength necessary to do pullups, we need to report that we can now support our body weight and do about a 1/4 pullup. We do one of these 1/4 pullups at the end of each DPU series. When we began last week we could not support our body weight at all. So this is progress.  2/20/2001 Tue.
     We caught ourself mentally napping during our 20.09 Dweller calls (5x), and immediately we brought to mind the thoughtform of the victory of God's will. A bright intensity quickly appeared within me.  2/20/2001 Tue.
     During the .30 Solar Ring calls, a uniform, even, immersion in the sacred fire of crystal clarity. During the Tubes of Light section (3x), again we caught ourself napping, brought the thoughtform of the victory of God's will to mind, and again a bright intensity quickly appeared within me.  2/20/2001 Tue.
     A new dimension of the sacred fire of peace appears within the fabric of our mind at the end of this set of (15) Hail Marys.  2/20/2001 Tue.
     One has got to wonder how many of the components of that computerized and fiber optic connected and coordinated radar system the Chinese are building for Saddam Hussein have their origins in the technology centers of the West. For example, do the Chinese have the capability of manufacturing fiber optic cable? If not, whose fiber optic cable are they using? If so, who gave them the manufacturing capability? And the same questions apply to all the sophisticated components which are necessary to pass digital signals into and out of those cables. We need to know how much of that technology they have purchased from the United States and her allies.  2/20/2001 Tue.
     During illumination calls, as we try to focus on the victory of God's will as the call goes forward, we are given a panoramic flash that shows us that the totality of reality is God. That nothing brings greater joy to the soul than contemplating both the content, and the seamlessness of that reality.  2/20/2001 Tue.
     During Hercules, we are shown that the mind is three dimensional, much like the visible physical realm, where many forms can be accomodated simultaneously. For example, the dome of our blue sky could be analogous to the constant desire for the victory of God's will, which remains constantly a part of the whole mind, while at the same time the river of the Word runs forth continously on the landscape below.  2/20/2001 Tue.
     The most blessed glow of sacred fire peace in the 3rd eye area, expanding out to envelope our entire mind, during Kuthumi's I Am Light calls (3x).  2/20/2001 Tue.
     This forcefield of sacred fire peace, that continues on with us through the remainding (3x) calls, speaks of the closeness of God. In other words, radiating through this glowing peace is the knowledge of the closeness of God. This knowledge is presssed upon the sensabilities of the soul along with all the blessed qualities of the sacred fire.  2/20/2001 Tue.
     I have to say this, that those who claim that the soul cannot know God, are wrong. Here is knowledge impacting directly upon my soul of the proximity of the One God.  2/20/2001 Tue.
     [later p.m.] The experience we had during our decree service earlier with the closeness of God, added a very special new dimension to our love affirmations and to our Michael calls during our walk (38 minutes). Our love affirmations go like this, "O God my beloved Father, I Am That I Am, I accept your infinite love for me personally" repeated over and over during five portions of our walking route. We give our calls to Archangel Michael during the other 5 portions. We alternate between the two, Michaels during one portion, love affirmations during the next portion, and so on. Each of those 5 portions, for a total of ten, are roughly the same length, averaging something less than 4 minutes per portion. During our love affirmations we felt a new proximity to God and his love, and during our Michaels we were leading a parade of celebration. I was the dancing baton twirler up front. [notes recorded in bedroom].  2/20/2001 Tue.
     About 20 minutes into our footprint transcriptions (for 2-15-2001) we sense the appearance of the uplifting actions of the sacred fire within the fabric of my awareness. That fabric, drooping and weighed down by the dour logic of the world, having had our mind plugged into the television news prior to this work, is now lifted up and fluttering happily in the breeze of holy spirit delight.  [notes recorded in office].  2/21/2001 Wed.
     About 40 minutes into our footprint transcriptions, continuing with 2-15-2001, a soft breath of Holiness is released into our inner world. I believe it is accurate to say that we have not experienced that quality since our attendance at Summit University at Camelot in 1983, and experience given in the Chapel of the Holy Grail, and indelibly etched on my memory body. I am amazed at how our soul has been lifted up to bounce lightly upon the updraft of this sacred fire of freedom, and I am comparing this to our state of mind prior to entering into this work. That was a state of mind that could not have conceived of the level of freedom God would grant to you in not to distant a future. We were in a state of abject uncertainty, totally absorbed in the frame of reference that exudes from the television news, and all the talk by the political talking heads. And this work we were entering into was not a logical or coherent extension of that frame of reference.  [notes recorded in office].  2/21/2001 Wed.
     And perhaps it is this fact that has us feeling like we are walking into the darkness of uncertainty as we enter into this work, for the roads and paths of worldly thought certainly do come to an end at the threshold of this work where all of sudden there is no clear sense, or clear vision of what lays ahead. Only after we become engaged in the transcription process does the sacred fire appear, lifting the soul out of that state of uncertainty, and revealing the realm of divine freedom beyond. [notes recorded in office].  2/21/2001 Wed.
p.m. decrees
      Sacred fire glow appears in 3rd eye area on the 3rd repetition of our (12) Tubes of Light.  2/21/2001 Wed.
     You wouldn't believe the vortex of anxiety that we descended into on the threshold of this decree service with the appearance of yet another round of loud music problems. The sacred fire glow put a stop to that anxiety vortex completely.  2/21/2001 Wed.
     But nevertheless, it is worth noting how completely, how thoroughly, all sense of divine reality is erased by that condition of anxiety. We have a very wonderful revelation of holiness during our footprint transcription work, and the memory of that, in terms of the power of it, was completely obliterated. Of course I remembered it. And I stood before this altar shaking my head in disbelief in regards to how thoroughly this condition of anxiety had erased the reality of the experience. This is a real weak spot for me. I suppose I should thank my neighbors for helping to reveal it (?) Over and over and over again ....  2/21/2001 Wed.
     I suppose I should remove that question mark. That anxiety reaction pattern has got to be eliminated. And if there is no trigger for it, how will I ever know if I have successfully removed it? Perhaps if we can learn to be powerfully grateful for those who embody the trigger mechanism, that would be a start.  2/21/2001 Wed.
     How could reunion with your God Presence ever take place if you retained this propensity to allow your desire body to disintegrate into a pile of quivering anxiety whenever your neighbors crank up their stereo?  2/21/2001 Wed.
     Therefore, instead of considering the next occurrence of the problem with feelings of trepidation, we should look to the next occurrence of the problem with joyful anticipation, as an opportunity to overcome a serious flaw in our character.  2/21/2001 Wed.
     This is what we have decided to do as a first step. Because the main theme of this problem is stubbornness (the problem has been extent on and off for about six years), and because stubbornness is plotted on the Cosmic Clock as a perversion of the 4 o'clock line of God-Obedience, which is one of the arms of the Ruby Cross, we have decided to come before the altar on each subsequent occurrence of this problem, and give the 33.00 Ruby Ray Judgment call, an approach that should deal with both ends of the problem, i.e. it will start the process of dismantling that beast of stubbornness which has control of our neighbors, and it will bring us before the altar to give the Masters an opportunity to take away my anxiety and replace it with the peace and freedom of the sacred fire. So in that regard, if we have to walk over there to ask them to turn the music down, we won't we radiating anxiety. That would be an improvement.  2/21/2001 Wed.
     The sacred fire dawns faintly within the fabric of our awareness on the 5th of (12) of El Morya's 30.08 Covenant of the Magi calls. One significant point of success during these calls in focusing on the victory of God's will to the degree that we could feel a marked increases in the intensity of our desiring in that regard. We need to work to establish that point of intensity during every decree matrix.  2/21/2001 Wed.
     Very interesting to watch modes of mind that embody agenda's other than God's will pop up to divert the attention of the soul, but to see, at the same moment, the focus on the victory of God's will engaged, and to see the former swallowed up in what amounts to a divine laugh at the silliness of it, i.e. in the face of the all too evident fact that the purpose of life on this planet is to bring about the victory of God's will in every respect. After our prayers to Sanat Kumara and the Lady Master Venus, we are seated in forcefield of knowledge where this self-evident truth is clear, even more clear than our physical surroundings.  2/21/2001 Wed.
     About half way through our (45x) Michaels calls, we entered into a uniform and even glow of sacred fire peace that lasted to the end, with a moderate glow at the 3rd eye level. A moderate level of success focusing on the victory of God's will, perhaps exhibiting somewhat more determination than past efforts.  2/21/2001 Wed.
     Actually, the capacity to hold the desire for the victory of God's will is the first installment of divine wholeness. We can see that this is true as we juxtapose the condition of mind not engaged in that direction, to the condition of mind when engaged in that direction, along with the desire body of course, and what is the difference? Of course, the difference is wholeness, that filling out of the divine identity, when the treasures of paradise come into view.  2/21/2001 Wed.
     From the beginning to the end of our 15 minutes violet flame session we have experienced an even, uniform glow of sacred fire with an emphasis on holding the thoughtform of the victory of God's will throughout. However, we achieved less success than we would have liked. We note that this is not an easy thing to do. But we are trying. Perhaps our desire to achieve this goal has run out ahead of our present capacity to achieve it. But on the other hand, there is nothing that bars you from keeping your mind on point, other than a lack of determination, except for the presence of a large counter forcefield in your electronic belt that pulls in the opposite direction. That is the primary limiting factor here.  2/21/2001 Wed.
     During this service we completed the 3rd reading of the dictation by the Elohim Arcturus, Pearls of Wisdom, Vol. 28, No. 3.  2/21/2001 Wed.
     This observation leads us to the conclusion that as long as the electronic belt is there and untransmuted, you will have a constant force trying to pull your mind away from this goal, and that resistance becomes most evident when all your attention is focused on the goal. Of course, as you give your violet flame calls the contents of the electronic belt are transmuted day by day, so the intensity of the counterforce, i.e. the amount of resistance the electronic belt can exert on this effort, should become less day by day. And as you work to build a momentum of determination in this direction, that momentum should gain strength day by day. So while we cannot expect huge gains each day, we should be able to notice substantial gains week by week.  2/21/2001 Wed.
     We had to slog through a more than ordinary level and intensity of opposition over the entire course of the 20.12 Ratification of the Judgment of Helios decree matrix (including 20.07 Judgment calls, and 20.09 Dweller calls). The only place where the freedom of the sacred fire appears was during the Tubes of Light section of the .30 Solar Ring call. We were not able to lift up the thoughtform of the victory of God's will one time during that entire decree matrix.  2/21/2001 Wed.
     We end this decree service on a rather subdued note. We plan on returning later to complete the remainder of our decree work. [we had to stop after the 20.12 matrix because of the lateness of the hour, and the plan to return to finish the remain 3x series did not come to pass].  2/21/2001 Wed.
a.m. decree work in sanctuary
      From the moment we got out of bed, dressed, bathroom, and got to the sanctuary, a period of about 11 minutes, we repeated seamlessly, "We've got to work for the victory of God's will." Unusual, because our mind does not normally focus on anything in particular during that part of the morning. What allowed us to do this I believe was the memory of the experience of the closeness of God that we had the day before yesterday. That memory was at the forefront and it overrode the background skepticism of the carnal mind, which usually gets to freely quiver with u uncertainty at this time in the morning.  2/22/2001 Thu.
     A some point the number of internal revelations of divine reality will reach a critical mass that allows the soul to overcome the downward pull of its own electronic belt, and by sheer determination born of the memory of these experiences, having coalesced into a whole unit in memory, the soul is able to say at all times, "I must work for the victory of God's will." The principles of constancy in service, openness to internal revelation, and critical mass of experiences, are all essential in understanding how the soul will finally move from its service to the carnal will, to service to the divine will.  2/22/2001 Thu.
     The old scriptural adage that "Ye cannot serve God and mammon," (Matthew 6:24), cannot be taken as an absolute statement. One needs to understand the elements of time and process that are inherent in this principle. It would be more accurate if the scripture read, "one cannot stay in this condition of service to both God and mammon permanently." We must realize that the soul steps onto the Path of Initiation almost completely integrated with habit patterns that serve the carnal will. At some point in the future, the soul will eventually step off of the Path, or should I say be lifted off of the Path in the ritual of the Ascension, and at that point will be fully integrated with habit patterns that serve the divine will. In between those two points, the soul will serve the carnal will and the divine will simultaneously, which is to say, that some compartments of life will dedicated to the carnal will, and some compartments of life will be dedicated to the divine will. The soul will gradually replace each compartment dedicated to the carnal will with a compartment dedicated to the divine will. The following ratios comparing the levels of the carnal will to the divine will illustrate this process:

  100/0 - (100% carnal, 0% percent divine)

  90/10 - (90% carnal, 10% percent divine)

  80/20 - (80% carnal, 20% percent divine)

  70/30 - (70% carnal, 30% percent divine)

  60/40 - (60% carnal, 40% percent divine)

  50/50 - (50% carnal, 50% percent divine)

  40/60 - (40% carnal, 60% percent divine)

  30/70 - (30% carnal, 70% percent divine)

  20/80 - (20% carnal, 80% percent divine)

  10/90 - (10% carnal, 90% percent divine)

  0/100 - (0% carnal, 100% percent divine)

  2/22/2001 Thu.

     It should be noted that this principle applies in two ways. It applies first to outer activity, what you do each and every moment of the day. And then it applies internally, to what you think, and what you feel each and every moment of the day.  2/22/2001 Thu.
     It is important then to consider what it means to serve the divine will in regards to your outer activities, and what it means to serve the divine will in regards to your inner activities, thoughts, feelings, memories.  2/22/2001 Thu.
     It is easier to conform the outer activity to the divine will, than it is to conform the inner activity.  2/22/2001 Thu.
     I think that it is true that one cannot conform the inner activity to the divine will without first conforming the outer activity to the divine will. Of course, the principle of incrementalness applies. Some compartment of the outer activity must be conformed to the divine will before any progress at all can be made in conforming the inner activity to the divine will. Thus, a compartment of time must we set aside for prayers, devotions, and decrees. This is the first step.  2/22/2001 Thu.
     After 15 minutes of Helios and Vesta calls, and half way through our 15 minute I Am Light calls, the glow of sacred fire of peace and freedom appears in our 3rd eye chakra area.  2/22/2001 Thu.
     In many areas of our lives it is essential to bring outer activity into alignment with the divine will as a prerequisite for the transformation of the inner. For example, there are many outer activities that are extensions of inner desires to serve the carnal will. The inner desire to serve the carnal will cannot be consumed and transformed until the outer activity is dispensed with. For example, if you are engaged in an outer activity based on fear and a lack of faith, the outer activity must be dispensed with before the fear itself can be consumed, before the lack of faith can be addressed. I am referring specifically to major commitments of time into activities which represent the soul's attempt to be useful and constructive in a particular area, and that area is chosen only because the soul fears that its needs will not be met if it pursues what God has put into it's heart as it's mission in this life, having no faith in God that God will provide for every need. In these situations, the activity that is suggested by the carnal will needs to be set aside, and that outer activity suggested by the divine will should be established in its place.   2/22/2001 Thu.
     What I am trying to say there is that it is extremely important to sweep aside all outer activities that stand in the way of implementing what God reveals to you as your mission in this life. In general terms, this is an absolute necessity when it comes to making progress on shifting inner activity from service to the carnal will, to service to the divine will.  2/22/2001 Thu.
     "God deserves at all times and under all circumstances the most magnificent reverence that we can possibly muster." This is a revelation that came to me several years ago, and we have it posted over our work area, and it comes to mind now as a fitting back drop for our efforts to focus on the victory of God's will. That statement represents an undeniable, immutable, and absolute truth, and if you can remember ti, then it is easy to see why you would want to focus all of your being on the victory of God's will.  2/22/2001 Thu.
     Glow of sacred fire peace and freedom appears within the 3rd eye area about half way through our 2nd 15 minutes of violet flame decrees. And it stays with us until the end of the session, about seven and a half minutes.  2/22/2001 Thu.
     I am thinking about what we wrote earlier today, about the importance of the act of will to bring the outer activity of the soul into alignment with what has been revealed to the soul as its divine mission, that how this is essential if the cornucopia of the causal body is to be released into the hands of the soul, and I am wondering how this principle might apply to the controversy over the church's new sword policy, and how the leadership of the church has denied William Espino the opportunity to wield the sword during church services unless he conforms to the new policy both in practice and by signing his name to it, and whether this may present a real obstacle to the divine plan and mission of William Espino's soul.  [notes recorded in bedroom].  2/22/2001 Thu.
      Before proceeding with our main decree service, I want to record the good news. President Vladimir Putin of Russia has come out as a champion of missile defense, albeit his own version, but nevertheless, he is championing the idea that there are missile threats that need to be defended against, and on that point he stands on the solid ground of truth. Let our prayers and sword work continue to expand and defend the dimensions of that ground.  2/22/2001 Thu.
     Also, I wanted to say that we are gratified to report that our footprint transcriptions are complete up to 2-18-2001, and that means we are now only four days behind!  2/22/2001 Thu.
     In regards to the footprint transcription work itself, I wanted to say that I am somewhat chagrined to discover how much we actually forget in terms of our experiences before the altar. On the plus side, the transcription work is turning out to be very useful in reinforcing those memories, and thereby shoring up my sense of divine identity. The work is very gratifying in that respect.  2/22/2001 Thu.
      Doesn't everyone have the right to the peaceful enjoyment of their own property?  2/22/2001 Thu.
     The sacred fire of peace and freedom appears in the crown chakra area on the 6th repetition of our (12x) Tubes of Light. By the 12th repetition we are completely immersed in peace.  2/22/2001 Thu.
     During this decree service we begin the first reading of the dictation by Beloved Lanello, Pearls of Wisdom, Vol. 28, No. 4, January 27, 1985.  2/22/2001 Thu.
     This is Day #60 of the strength of many mountains, and #58 of the golden portal of the heart and the many divine cities revealed therein, and #54 of the many many fires of celebration of the glory of God, and #19 of the nourishment of God's glory spread abroad across the entire planetary body, and #10 of the garden paradise of the heart, the place where divine friends meet, where the word "cherish" describes every relationship.  2/22/2001 Thu.
     A wonderful sublime glow of sacred fire peace appears at the 3rd eye chakra over the course of the (15) repetitions of the following prayer: "O God my beloved Father I Am That I Am, please grant unto me a desire body that desires only the victory of your will, the victory of your infinite goodness, the victory of the nourishment of your glory spread abroad across the entire planetary body, and that passionately." Out of the center of this sublime glow of sacred fire peace exudes the signature enchantment of the Inner Retreat.  2/22/2001 Thu.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears in the 3rd eye chakra area on the 25th repetition of (45x) Michael decrees. The glow remained for the rest of the Michael session allowing us to more easily work on the our goal of focusing on the desire for the victory of God's will. Marginal success in that respect. At one point we stamped our feet in a statement of inner frustration and said, "I demand unity with the passion for the victory of God's will," at which point we made a brief connection, but our mind soon drifted into the work of solving a problem with our footprint formatting macro. The solution coalesced, but in the process we lost our connection to that inner work.  2/22/2001 Thu.
     During the next set of (15) Hail Marys, a great drooping swath of inertia questions why you are trying to make this effort at all. The answer comes back immediately: the day for passive decree work is long past. From this day forward we must try at all times to raise up the thoughtform of the victory of God's will, no matter how much opposition you face in the way of internal laziness and apathy, which are rather sinister forces which disguise themselves as the friends of the soul, extending the promise of false comfort (as long as you stop doing what you are trying to do).  2/22/2001 Thu.
     A most blessed glow of sacred fire peace, crystal in its character, appears within the fabric of our awareness as we enter into, and pass through, the preamble to our violet flame decrees.  2/22/2001 Thu.
     This blessed glow of sacred fire peace, crystal in its character, stays with us through the entire 15 minutes of violet flame decrees. From head to feet, we experience only the updraft of peace and freedom. We put more effort into our goal of holding fast to the desire for the victory of God's will. This was difficult for the first half of the session. I tried almost continuously, but I couldn't get it to come together in resemblance of wholeness. There was no depth to this effort. It was like we were fighting against this nagging inertia that simply was unmoveable in its apathy in regards to the work a hand. Half way through, we said a prayer in thought, to Beloved Lanello, i.e. Help us! At that point we could grasp the fact that God's will is simply too glorious for words, and therefore we were perfectly justified in trying to pour all of our being into that desire for the victory of that will, i.e. God's will. From that point on we achieved a consistent level of intensity in our effort, and some success as we became more absorbed into the reality, into the awareness, of how much God's will is to be revered and honored. And because it is obviously worthy of reverence, and honor, then it makes ultimate sense to pour all that you are into the desire to see it victorious.  2/22/2001 Thu.
     Obviously, we are talking about aspects of awareness that are associated with the vision of the heart, i.e. the qualities of gloriousness, reverence, and honor. All these things are of the heart. Yes, the question then is, how do we keep the vision of the heart alive, active, at the forefront of awareness, because that is the key to entering into the desire for the victory of God's will.  2/22/2001 Thu.
     Our efforts were continuous throughout the last seven and one/half minutes of the violet flame session, having some modicum of success as described, but I must say that with our attention fully engaged in this effort, and with all the elements of the equation present, more or less, it was still like trying to set a water soaked log on fire. It's an understatement to say that our desire body does not catch fire readily.  2/22/2001 Thu.
     Entering into our 20.12 Ratification of the Judgment of Helios call matrix, we are confronted by that typical resistance that is constantly wondering when it will be over. Its like a wall that says, "Don't pass, turn around now, go back!" even as we are making the effort to pass through. On the 4th repetition of our (5x) 20.07 Judgment calls, the glow of sacred fire appears within the fabric of our awareness. There is no more wall. Only the open path ahead amidst the dancing flames of paradise.  2/22/2001 Thu.
     Additional opposition surfaced as we entered into our 20.09 Dweller calls (5x), with that downward pressure upon the spine. Throughout the first 4 repetitions we felt like we were pushing through a wall of mud. It was moving back, but not without a lot of sluggish resistance. Finally, the wall disappeared, and the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom comes to the forefront of our awareness at the 3rd eye chakra area on the 5th repetition.   2/22/2001 Thu.
     The most blessed quality of sacred fire peace appears within the fabric of our awareness during the drawing of the solar rings during God and Goddess Meru's .30 Solar Ring call (end of the 20.12 matrix). It has a crystal clarity that is unique. It has a profound depth, giving off the fragrance of endlessness, i.e. that it goes on forever, i.e. that there is no end to it. It comes to the fore even more strongly during the Tube of Light section (3x). It has a spaciousness about it, and a whiteness that you can sense, but cannot see. And you can clearly sense that it is Light descended from above, in the finest rain-like particles. But not a mist, for a mist hands in the air. This forcefield suggest movement from above, down, and in the finest columnar structure. The sense of order is absolute.  2/22/2001 Thu.
     The image of Sanat Kumara, as it was depicted in the portrait that hung at the read of the Summit University classroom at Camelot, came before my awareness at the 3rd eye level in what appears to be a torrent of white light, perhaps like a comet, leaving behind that glow of sacred peace in our 3rd eye chakra, a flame of peace, coolness is one of its characteristics along with movement. This during the last (3x) set of prayers to Sanat Kumara and the Lady Master Venus.  2/22/2001 Thu.
     Sometimes it is so amazingly clear, as it is now as we enter into the (3x) set of Hail Marys which precede the (3x) set of Astreas, how abundantly and perfectly right it is to invest all that you are into the desire for the victory of God's will. God's will is so beautiful. God's will is so magnificent. God is so great. The one object of everlasting adoration. I really really really appreciate this awareness.  2/22/2001 Thu.
     Raised further into an all encompassing and completely supporting forcefield of Light during our 10.05 Hercules decrees (3x). The primary characteristic is this sense of being held aloft.  2/22/2001 Thu.
a.m. decree service in sanctuary
      The glow of sacred fire begins to dawn within our consciousness about 7 minutes into our 15 minute Helios and Vesta decrees. Quite a contrast to the grogginess that occupies our mind from the moment we woke up. Though it is not all swept away yet. I note that when we opened our eye, the only wish we had was for another 2 hours of sleep.  2/23/2001 Fri.
     The dominant theme that hovers within our mind as we proceed forward with our calls is the great amount of building that God was able to accomplish upon the foundation of Mark and Elizabeth Prophet's dedication. We honor their dedication, their determination to do the will of God.  2/23/2001 Fri.
     The glow of sacred fire peace and freedom appears lightly within our crown chakra area during the last minute of our 15 minutes of Kuthumi's I Am Light decrees.  2/23/2001 Fri.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears in our 3rd eye chakra area about 17 minutes into our 30 minute violet flame decree session.  2/23/2001 Fri.
     What would happen if a bank robber walked into court and made the argument that somebody else had paid the full price for his crime, yesterday, today, and forever? The trial would go on, the evidence would be heard, and the defendant would be sentenced. What would happen when a soul walks into the court of heaven and makes the argument that somebody else had paid the full price for all misdeeds, yesterday, today and forever? The judgment process would proceed, the evidence would be heard, and the defendant would be sentenced.  [notes recorded in office].  2/23/2001 Fri.
     What is the value of this principle of personal responsibility? What is the value of this fundamental idea that choices and consequences go hand in hand? Good parents try to teach their children these principles. Why?  [notes recorded in office].  2/23/2001 Fri.
     I think that the case can be made that these principles are essential to the integrity of human society. This being the case, does it seem plausible that God would declare these principles inapplicable to divine society?  [notes recorded in office].  2/23/2001 Fri.
p.m. decree service
      Having had my memory refreshed in a more than ordinary manner concerning the blessed experiences we have had before the altar as a result of our footprint transcription work, I am still amazed that it is possible to approach the altar with our mind filled with an energy that does not allow me to connect to those memories, and which is a force clearly intent on turning me aside from my altar work. This force is the very opposite of peace. It says to me (not in words but in terms of its directional impact), "If you want peace, if you want me to stop tormenting you, then turn away from altar and go watch T.V. That's where you fill find peace.".  2/23/2001 Fri.
     This anti-peace force breaks and disappears at the end of our opening statement when we receive a penetrating insight into the value of the Pearls of Wisdom that we are reading during these services, a force of freedom that allows us specifically to look forward to the reading of a dictation by Beloved Lanello. Yes, it is all about vision. What is missing as we approach the altar is that penetrating vision that has the power to completely turn our forcefields around and into a mode of appreciation. The vision comes at the altar. Thank God.  2/23/2001 Fri.
     The glow of sacred fire peace and freedom dawns within the fabric of our awareness on the 3rd repetition of our (12) Tubes of Light. By the 12th repetition we have a significant glow of sacred fire manifest in our 3rd eye area.  2/23/2001 Fri.
     Day #61 of the strength of many mountains, and day #59 of the golden portal of the heart and the many divine cities revealed therein, and day #55 of the many many fires of celebration of the glory of God, and day #20 of the nourishment of God's glory spread abroad across the entire planetary body, and day #11 of the garden paradise of the heart, the place where divine friends meet, where the word "cherish" describes every relationship.  2/23/2001 Fri.
     Another weak spot in Christian theology is the idea that if you don't accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior you will burn in hell forever. This contradicts the true teaching that God is infinitely merciful. A merciful God would give a soul a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance, etc. That's what the system of multiple life opportunity is all about (SMLO).  2/23/2001 Fri.
     This 30.08 Covenant of the Magi session (12x), was spent under an unusual oppressive burden. Our third eye felt like it had a piece of lead wrapped over it, and the quality of our being was depressed, and heavily apathetic. The only thing that worked to lift our spirits during that call matrix was the memory of our absolute trust in Mother Mary, though we could not hold that thought for very long.  2/23/2001 Fri.
     I think any discussion of the flaws of Christian theology must begin by a reference to Archangel Michael throwing Lucifer and a third of the angels out of heaven and into the earth, where they have infiltrated the churches and caused to be adopted tenets of doctrine designed to defeat the purposes of God. (Rev. 12:7)  2/23/2001 Fri.
     For the first 30-35 repetitions of our (45x) Michaels we had to bear that same burden of apathy and depression with no divine reality apparent even as the calls went forth. But, we did not take it so seriously as we did during our 30.08 calls. Instead we kept this thoughtform anchored at the center of our awareness, like a shining jewel in dark cave, "I know God's will is glorious, no matter what you say to the contrary". Because we know this is true, the burden was not able to weigh so heavily as to bring my awareness into the very ground of despair. It was not until the 35th repetition that a faint flush of sacred fire glow appeared across our brow area, and that lifted the burden by about 80%.  2/23/2001 Fri.
     We carried the full weight of that oppressive burden through our break, our DPU(20x) series, our (15x) Hail Mary series, our pearl reading, and the prayers (3x) to Sanat Kumara and the Lady Master Venus, and finally, 5 minutes into our 15 minute violet flame session, the burden began to dissolve and the glow of sacred fire began to appear within the fabric of our awareness. By the end of the 15 minute violet flame session, a focused glow of sacred fire of peace and freedom just began to appear in the 3rd eye area. I would like to say that we are now nearly back to normal. Also we were successful in holding the thoughtform, "One purpose, One desire: the victory of God's will," throughout most of that session, and at times we achieved a significant level of intensity, seeing ourself at one point as a knight on white horse galloping forward wielding a shining sword.  2/23/2001 Fri.
     It is a relief to register the appearance of a new dimension of deep peace, crystal peace, during this next set of (15) Hail Marys. Whew! May I tarry a bit here and say that this presence is exactly the opposite of the burden we have carried previously. It lifts the spirits into a lofty region of precious delight.  2/23/2001 Fri.
     As we give our (3x) Sanat Kumara and Lady Master Venus prayers, there is a bright glow spread across the upper reaches of the mind, and I must stop here to record the fact that this state of being is exactly the opposite of that depressing state of oppression that we experienced previously. It is also worth noting that when you are under that weight of oppression, there is no way to conceive of the blessedness that will come upon you, as it has in this case. If you could see this coming, there would be none of the uncomfortable temptations to quit. Under that weight you proceed forward on faith, and on the momentum of your habit patterns, which prove to be very useful.  2/23/2001 Fri.
     My day has been crowned with victory.  2/23/2001 Fri.
     And of course we enter into our 20.12 Ratification of the Judgment of Helios call matrix basking under the radiance of this sacred fire presence, and during the 20.07 Judgment call section (5x) the sacred fire glow expands in the 3rd eye area, and this glow is freedom. Exactly the opposite of that strange phenomena that we recorded earlier where it felt like our 3rd eye chakra was wrapped in a layer of lead. Freedom to be of service, freedom to give forth the call, freedom to relish the opportunity.  2/23/2001 Fri.
     We got to spend the entirety of that 20.12 call matrix (20.07 5x, 20.09 5x, .30, TOL 3x), enveloped from the top of our head to the bottom of our feet in this bright glow of sacred fire delight, with a very pronounced glow at the 3rd eye area.  2/23/2001 Fri.
     We have finished the first reading of the dictation by Beloved Lanello, Vol. 28, No. 4, and we are beginning the second reading.  2/23/2001 Fri.
     The glow is so bright during the giving of the 10.08 Great Divine Director calls (3x) that we are so immersed and saturated by this firey conviction that there is no place on earth that I could ever desire to be, than right here, right now. This is the place to be.   2/23/2001 Fri.
     We have spent the entire (3x) series of calls (7.21, 40.06, Astreas, Cyclopeas, Illumination, Great Divine Directors, Hercules, I Seek Thee, Healing, I Am Light, Light of the Heart, Helios and Vestas, interspered with 3x Hail Marys), permeated through and through, embraced at every point of our being, and lifted into a lofty region, by this all encompasing glow of sacred fire that speaks of sheer whiteness.  2/23/2001 Fri.
     This is like being at the center of a snow ball, but you are the snow ball.  2/23/2001 Fri.
