FOOTPRINTS ON
THE MOUNTAIN

Feb. 24, 2001 - Feb. 26, 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. decrees in sanctuary
      "We must work for the victory of God's will in the most intense possible manner." This is what we are repeating to ourself as we approach the sanctuary for our a.m. decree work. It's raining again today, so no sunbath.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     We had good success during our Helios and Vesta calls (15 minutes) focusing on "One purpose, One desire, the victory of God's will." Even amidst the morning grogginess, as we focus on the victory of God's will we can sense that it returns to us evidence of its compelling power.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     As we begin Kuthumi's I Am Light decrees we can sense that part of ourself that jumps for joy at the prospect of entering fully into the desire for the victory of God's will.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     Glow of sacred fire appears in the 3rd eye area 9 minutes into Kuthumi's I Am Light decrees. At the same time we are comforted by the prospect that some day we will only feel comfortable when we are making the effort to raise up the thoughtform of the victory of God's will, when is shines with that most profound promise at the center of our attention.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     All true intensity (of a divine nature) is fed by internal revelations of a divine nature. All divine revelations that feed divine intensity come to the soul in the course of its (daily) service before the altar. This is the general rule.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     Therefore, if one desires to move more quickly away from that synthetic identity mired in the lethargy of human inertia, one must increase one's time in service before the altar. This is the general rule.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     In other words, one must place oneself in that arena of service wherein divine revelations can be both given to the soul and received by the soul.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     About five minutes into our 30 minute violet flame session, we sense an increase in the brightness of the heart as we endeavor to hold the thoughtform of the victory of God's will.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     About 12 minutes into our 30 minute violet flame session, we find that we are able to hold in steady orbit around this central desire for the victory of God's will, the previously revealed fact that it is God's will for you to know his infinite love for you personally, and the previously revealed fact that it is God's will for you to know your own God Presence as the most precious friend. These two facts, in orbit around the central desire, helps to fan the intensity of that desire in the most profound and endearing manner. I think the appearance of this configuration is an example of what is meant by freedom. We ought to be free to remember what has been revealed before, and free to hold the memory of that at the center of our attention. For the time being we are experiencing some of that freedom.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     A most blessed presence of sacred fire has appeared within our 3rd eye area 20 minutes into our 30 minute violet flame session. This as we are thinking about making a determined effort to repeat this to ourself over and over as we proceed from one activity area to another, so as to not allow any opposition to settle into our mind, "We must work intensely for the victory of God's will." We are considering this because we are noting already the opposition to our footprint transcription work looming out ahead of us, this wall of reluctance that says, "Don't do this, stay away." Considering that this practice worked to our advantage from the moment we got out of bed, to the moment we arrived in the sanctuary, we are considering employing it from the point we leave the sanctuary, to the point where we actually sit down to do our transcription work. Sort of like a golden bridge over the swamp of astral opposition.  2/24/2001 Sat.
office work
      Make no mistake about it. The island nation of Taiwan has remained free over the last 50 years, and remains free today because of the security guarantees of the United States. Take the United States out of the picture and the mainland Communists would take that Island and its people for themselves in a heart beat.  [c-notes recorded in office].  2/24/2001 Sat.
     As we are transcribing this 2-20-2001 reference to our progress in doing pull-ups, we must note that later during that decree service, getting a little overzealous in this pursuit, we have bruised a finger joint that was under a large callous on the left hand, and we have postponed any further effort in that direction until at least 2-26-2001. [c-notes recorded in office].  2/24/2001 Sat.
     As we are transcribing this 2-20-2001 reference to the knowledge of the closeness of God, we want to make it clear that we are speaking of an additional dimension of knowledge that was extending through the sacred fire at that time. In all instances up to that point, it is fair to say that the presence of the sacred fire recorded throughout the footprint entries do not as a rule carry this dimension of knowledge. In all instances beyond that point, it is fair to say that the presence of the sacred fire recorded throughout subsequent footprint entries did not carry that dimension of knowledge. Therefore, the event described on 2-20-2001 was a very special event, communicating the fact that God can communicate what He wants when He wants according to His purposes. Though, at this writing, there is no doubt in my mind that my soul, and all souls who follow the Path of Initiation, will reach the point where that knowledge will be impacting on the soul continuously.  [c-notes recorded in office].  2/24/2001 Sat.
     In regards to this closeness of God experience just referred to, I have to admit that four days later, I had forgotten about it, and that I am very gratified to have had my memory refreshed in this regard, allowing us to contemplate it anew, and to good effect during this transcription work period, in as much as God is as close now, as God was then, whether or not the direct knowledge is impacting the soul. Considering this now, there is a very definite new dimension of comfort manifest within us.  [c-notes recorded in office].  2/24/2001 Sat.
      In regards to this statement made on 2-21-2001, "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?", I just wanted to add at this point the idea that reunion with your God Presence really equates to the anchoring of huge amounts of power into each of your chakras, and thus each of the bodies that emanate from those chakras. This power will not be given unto any soul who would allow that power to be turned into darkness at the flip of a stereo switch, if you get what I mean. Anxiety is the most egregious form of darkness there is. It denies the power of God. It denies the goodness of God. It is sends the soul into the blackness of fear where its connection to the goodness of God is completely severed. Therefore, if the soul allows a great amount of power to be so qualified, the soul will be creating a very powerful prison house for itself. Out of love, God will not give that power to the soul without the soul first overcoming such weak points.  [c-notes recorded in office].  2/24/2001 Sat.
      In regards to the discussion recorded on 2-21-2001 regarding the ratios of the carnal will to the divine will, I want to note that this process of reducing the percentage of ones life devoted to fulfilling the carnal will and increasing the percentage of one's life devoted to serving the divine will, is simply the reversal of the process occurred when the soul originally fell from its divine estate. The fall was gradual. The soul began in a condition in which 100% of its life was devoted to service to the divine will. Over a period of time that percentage was gradually reduced, and the percentage of the soul's life devoted to service to the carnal will was gradually increased. The following divine will to carnal will ratios illustrate this principle:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 [c-notes recorded in office].  2/24/2001 Sat.

     All greed and lust after money and material goods is reflective of a deep seated fear that God will not provide the soul with what it needs.  [c-notes recorded in office].  2/24/2001 Sat.
     The very moment we stopped our office work and began to look ahead to the next item on our schedule, i.e. our main decree service of the day, we instantly felt the opposition. Our normal and regular mode of behavior (going back many years) in regards to this opposition is to feet it, get down under it, and really feel the weight of it. But not this time. We instantly began repeating over and over, "It's very important to work intensely for the victory of God's will," and again I must report that we passed over that astral swamp, the opposition pushed way back, and our attention focused on this idea of the victory of God's will which returned unto me a lifting reassurance. We are going to try to this new approach during each transition period that lies out in front of each decree service. No more struggling or squirming under this ever-present weight that meets us at the threshold of our main decree services. We will move to affirm what we are learning to love to affirm anyway, and that is the victory of God's will.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     We have now brought our footprint transcription work up to Thursday last, which puts us less than 3 days behind in our effort to catch up.  2/24/2001 Sat.
      "Its very important that we work towards the victory of God's will" repeated over and over as we stand before the altar brings about an affirming uplift of sacred fire happiness. Even before we get into our opening statements.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     The sacred fire glow of peace and freedom appears within our crown chakra area on the 5th of (12) Tubes of Light in a manner that reveals a movement from above pouring down. Nearly immediately we feel a heavy burden upon the spine just below the heart. By the 12th repetition we are enfolded thoroughly by this most blessed forcefield of upward dancing sacred fire.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     Its like you come to this arched gateway in a thick stone wall to meet a most blessed friend. You arrive early, and you are painfully aware that your friend is not there. After you are there for a few minutes your friend finally shows up, and you are greatly relieved, and very happy.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     Continuing with the 2nd reading of Beloved Lanello's dictation during this service, Vol. 28, No. 4.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     Day #62 of the strength of many mountains, and day #60 of the golden portal of the heart and the many divine cities revealed therein, and #56 of the many many fires of celebration of the glory of God, and #21 of the nourishment of God's glory spread abroad across the entire planetary body, and #12 of the garden paradise of the heart, the place where divine friends meet, where the word "cherish" describes every relationship.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     A most blessed dimension of crystal peace opens up before us, inside of us, during the 5th repetition of El Morya's 30.08 Covenant of the Magi calls (12x). We were making a substantial effort to focus on our goal: One purpose, one desire, the victory of God's will. We were contemplating the fact that our goal is to become more comfortable immersed in this effort, this goal, than with any other activity, both inner or outer. That forcefield of peace stayed constant throughout, and we had a good measure of success throughout the remaining calls merging with the desire for the victory of God's will.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     The process of cultural decline that we are witnessing in America, which began in earnest in the 1950's, is precisely reminiscent of the original fall of the soul from its divine estate. In that fall, like the current cultural fall, the soul lost ground incrementally, slowly, gradually, with each new generation taking a few additional steps into the abyss.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     As we enter into our Michaels, trying from the very first to focus on the victory of God's will, we see that God's will is like unto a cozy cabin deep in the snow laden woods with a warm fire blazing in the fireplace. Though in fact it is better than that.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     On the 3rd repetition of our (45x) Michaels, a pool of sacred fire appears at the crown chakra area, glowing, and profoundly deep. The forcefield of peace stays with us through the entire decree series. We were successful in focusing on the victory of God's will at several points, and we entered into this interesting modality where each word spoken returned a sacred fire assurance that great constructive work was being accomplished.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     We took a break, and brought back into the sanctuary that nagging spirit of rebellion, which pulls and tugs at the mind to cut short the decree service. As we did our next set of (15) Hail Marys, and our Pearl reading, this force was constantly pulling at us. As we looked ahead to the violet flame session all we could sense was a large brooding obstacle counseling us to turn back. Now this is interesting. As we entered into our (3x) prayers to Sanat Kumara and Lady Master Venus, asking them to help me to become more devoted to the victory of God's will, our awareness become focused on the following two items, side by side: On the one side you have this brooding presence pressuring you to quit, pressuring you not to do those violet flame calls, and on the other side you have the victory of God's will, the REALITY of it impacting the soul with absolute clarity. In other words, a stream of divine knowledge carrying information concerning the value of God's will was impacting our inner awareness The brooding presence simply disappeared in the Light of this Reality. Gone. Vanished. And we proceeded forward with our violet flame calls with no opposition.   2/24/2001 Sat.
     This is an example of how the Masters can help to set us free to make right choices. That framework of vision was the work of the Master. The internal qualities of energy that tend to block right action, they are isolated, juxtaposed to the Light of Truth, and then dissolved by the Light of Truth.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     Our 15 minutes of violet flame calls were spent in an even, uniform glow of sacred fire peace, in which we could make the nearly constant effort to focus on the victory of God's will. At a couple points we entered into a fairly intense level of desiring in that respect. I am very happy with that effort.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     A most blessed, and comforting presence of peace appears within the fabric of our awareness during the next set of (15) Hail Marys.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     During this service we have completed the second reading of Beloved Lanello's dictation, Pearls of Wisdom, Vol. 28, No. 4. We will proceed then with the third reading.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     As we repeat our prayers to Sanat Kumara and the Lady Master Venus (3x), this line is highlighted, "The victory of God's infinite goodness," and we tarry on that point repeating it over and over as we experience the heart center glowing with the knowledge that this is indeed true, that God is indeed infinitely good, and that that goodness ought to be victorious everywhere.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     Entering into our 20.12, I Ratify the Judgment of Helios, decree matrix, our mind starts to wander into a contemplation of what we are going to do when we finish this decree service. This nagging distraction continued on through the 20.07 Judgment call section (5x) and into the 20.09 Dweller section (5x). Mid way through the Dweller section, this blessed idea appears in our mind, this blessed hope that one day we will achieve that state of mind where the only thing we will look forward to with longing and relish is the opportunity to work for the victory of God's will. And with that, the other distractions vanished, and the glow of sacred fire appeared throughout the fabric of our awareness allowing us to complete the 20.09 Dweller calls in that delightful updraft.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     The victory of Light over Darkness. That is what we are talking about. Both Light and Darkness take on forms within the awareness. This is how we can tell when Light wins, and Darkness loses.  2/24/2001 Sat.
      There is so much profound promise associated with the prospect that we could find ourself transformed to that extent, i.e. to where the only thing we look forward to with relish and delight is another opportunity to work for the victory of God's will. That's not what exists in fact today, but the prospect that this could one day be, is profoundly comforting, and reassuring.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     A blessed intensity in the 3rd eye area as we draw our solar rings during the .30 Solar Ring decree near the end of the 20.12 decree matrix.  2/24/2001 Sat.
     A most blessed presence of sacred fire peace and freedom appears in the 3rd eye area during our next set of (15) Hail Marys, along with this insight, this clear unobstructed vision, that it is the vision of God's beauty that will form the foundation for the ever present desire to work for the victory of God's will, and who in their right mind would avoid the steps necessary to come to that place where the beauty of God is before your inner vision at all times?   2/24/2001 Sat.
     A blessed glow of sacred fire peace and freedom appears in our 3rd eye chakra area during the last 5 repetitions of our (50x) Cyclopeas.  2/24/2001 Sat.
a.m. decree service in sanctuary
      "It's very very very important to work for the victory of God's will". We repeated this over and over from the moment we got out of bed, to the moment we arrived in the sanctuary, a period of about ten minutes. A supporting idea that was present was that it is important to glow with sacred fire so that great beams of light can radiate out into the world bring hope and promise to the hearts of God's children, which is the main idea embodied in our light house prayer which we always repeat 15 times at the beginning of each main decree service. Here is evidence that it is finally sinking in.  2/25/2001 Sun.
     Hail gracious hearts of light who have no doubts about the value of God's will! (i.e. the Ascended Masters).  2/25/2001 Sun.
     The presence of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears in our in our crown chakra area at the beginning of our opening statements.  2/25/2001 Sun.
     About 12 minutes into our 15 minute Helios and Vesta call session, a most blessed presence of crystal peace emerges within the fabric of our awareness, most strong and pronounced at the crown chakra area.  2/25/2001 Sun.
     It is well to remember this, and as often as possible, that the most important thing about the will of God is his desire for you to know his infinite love for you personally.  2/25/2001 Sun.
     The goal is to anchor that frame of reference, that framework of consciousness that holds the glory of God before it, unwavering, and always enamored of the beauty that is before it constantly.  2/25/2001 Sun.
p.m. decree service in sanctuary
      We may talk about the prelude to this decree service, but not now. Stress city.  2/25/2001 Sun.
     Sacred fire presence appears within the fabric of our awareness in the midst of (3x) Tubes of Light.  2/25/2001 Sun.
     Substantial glow of sacred fire peace and comfort in the 3rd eye area after about the 20th repetition of (45x) Michaels, and after it became clear that no matter what happens, it is always fitting to pour all that you are into the desire of the victory of God's will.  2/25/2001 Sun.
     We got to spend the remainder of our Michaels (60x) (an extra 15x for gratitude's sake) in a very blessed forcefield of peace and comfort that has completely turned around the stress induced instability that we had brought into this decree service.  2/25/2001 Sun.
     This stress induced instability (anxiety) was brought about by more car problems. We got into the car earlier to go grocery shopping, and the battery was dead. That was not any big deal but it was certainly a good start. The rain didn't help matters. We called the auto club, and had them send out a tow truck with jumper cables so that the car could be jump started. This only took about 45 minutes. The truck came, the cables were laid out and connected and I started the car. Ok. Before we pulled out of the driveway we noticed that a new red fault indicator has appeared on the dashboard instrument panel. It said "Check Engine". What next. But the engine was running ok. So we headed off to the store, knowing that we would more than likely have to keep the car running while we were in the store. The possibility that it would not start again was real. On the way to the store the transmission was slipping the whole way, conjuring up another huge car repair bill in my imagination. That is not a peaceful thought. When we got to the store, I put the car in park, having every intention of keeping it going, and the engine just quit. Oh no! My imagination instantly sprouted scenes of having to call the tow truck again. But fortunately, the battery had stored enough juice to start it immediately back up. But it quit again. If this car was going to keep running that would mean that Esther would have to drive it around in a circle in the parking lot while I did the shopping. Esther got into the drivers seat, and fortunately the car started. I went inside to do shopping hoping that we would have a way to get home, and Esther drove the car around in circles. I accomplished the fastest grocery shopping time ever recorded in the history of human kind, flying from aisle to aisle, mowing down with my shopping cart anyone who got in my way. (Not really - just kidding). When I got back outside there was Esther driving around in circles. She saw me, pulled up so I could put the groceries in the trunk, and we headed home with the transmission slipping all the way. And a woman driving the car on wet streets too! Whoa! Slow down! Yikes.   2/25/2001 Sun.
      Now, after arriving home, and putting the groceries away, I certainly felt like plugging my face into the T.V. to watch a movie or something. After all, its getting late. But, we have been praying all week for help to make sure nothing could tempt us to skip our decree work on Sunday. And beside, I could clearly see that sitting in front of the T.V. would do nothing to solve any of the problems that we now have looming before us, not the least of which is an emotional body whose foundation is quivering with stress and anxiety. So we chose to go into the sanctuary and come before the altar, and as noted above, we were rewarded with the most blessed intercession of the sacred fire which makes it as though all of that stuff never happened at all. This is way better than T.V. (This is the victory over death and hell. After all, stress and anxiety are two of the more fundamental vibrations of death and hell.)  2/25/2001 Sun.
     The most blessed presence of the sacred fire of peace and freedom emerges within the fabric of our awareness as we enter into our 15 minute violet flame session.  2/25/2001 Sun.
     We got to spend the whole violet flame session saturated with the most blessed sacred fire presence of peace and freedom, all the more blessed when juxtaposed to that prison house of stress and anxiety out of which we have just been so gloriously delivered. The main theme of this violet flame session is this: how can it be anything but the most reasonable approach to life than to pour all of your being into the desire for the victory of the will of God who has such awesome power over human negativity, and who is so liberal with the very sacred fires of freedom which flow in abundance from his heart.  2/25/2001 Sun.
     Well ... In regards to our 20.12, I Ratify the Judgment of Helios decree matrix, I must report the presence of a blessed peace throughout all sections, 20.07 Judgment (5x), 20.09 Dweller (5x), .30 Solar Ring, Tubes of Light (5x), and so much so that we really got to focus on the blessedness of the idea that these calls actually help set the stage for all of God's children to come into the knowledge of this peace, and this was most keenly at the forefront of our mind during the 20.09 Dweller calls. But we had a special gift waiting for us in the course of the .30 Solar Ring section, specifically in the Tube of Light (5x) subsection, in which the most amazing presence of peace and quietness descended into our being. It was so powerful that we felt compelled to reduce the volume of our calls to a whisper. Why that was necessary I am not sure. But we felt compelled to do that, this being what amounts to an involuntary reaction on behalf of the soul, when in the presence of such blessedness, the soul is sent into a posture of reverence and honor, in as much as the totality of my awareness was absorbed into, and transfixed upon the amazing beauty of the quality of this presence.  2/25/2001 Sun.
     It I was not absolutely sure that we are meant to live within that presence permanently some day, I would be tempted to say that the experience of such a presence represents a once in a lifetime treasure.  2/25/2001 Sun.
     This presence embodies or should I say represents the cosmic standard for quietness, perhaps you could describe it has a cosmic hush. Perhaps if we could spend more time within it, we could actually hear God speak to us.  2/25/2001 Sun.
     A very bright sacred fire glow in our 3rd eye chakra area over the enter span of our (50x) Cyclopeas.  2/25/2001 Sun.
Daily Prayers in the U.S. House
Februay 26, 2001
Daily Prayers in the U.S. Senate
Februay 26, 2001

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

   Lord, God of history and ever-present, You sent Your prophet Isaias to Your people when they were in need of hope and vision.

   May Isaias' prophetic words guide us still. Send Your spirit upon this Nation and this Congress, that we may be open to hearing Your word and actively seek the salvation You alone can bring.

   Make of us a people of compassion and holiness. In pursuing the avenues of justice for all, may we be a sign to the community of nations.

   Help us to work toward the complete fulfillment of the deepest human hopes and Your inspiring promises.

   With humility let us embrace our calling; to be truly prophetic, as Your servants of old, by earnestly fulfilling Your commands now and forever. Amen.

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

   Majestic God, Creator of many different races and colors in the human family, we ask for love as inclusive as Your love and attitudes as free of prejudice as You have shown in Your care for all people.

   This month as we gratefully recognize the importance of African Americans in our history, remind us of the truth in Dr. Martin Luther King's words that ``the content of our character'' is the highest goal we can achieve. So many outstanding black Americans have risen to prominence in our Nation because of the content of their character.

   Along with Dr. King, we thank you for Phillis Wheatley, who in the 18th century at a very young age achieved international fame as the first black woman poet. We also remember Richard Allen, who at the dawning of the 19th century mobilized the black community in Philadelphia and formed the first independent black denomination.

   As we work today, may these principled Americans be our examples. Let our words, thoughts, and actions reflect the content of Your character. Thank you for being our Lord and Saviour. Amen.

     "It is very very important to work intensely for the victory of God's will". We were again able to repeat this over and over from the moment we got out of bed to the point where we entered into the sanctuary. A very interesting sensation of walking just above the sticky up reaching tentacles of worry and concern.  2/26/2001 Mon.
     The glow of sacred fire appears within the fabric of our awareness generally, and within the 3rd eye area particularly on the 3rd repetition of (3x) Tubes of Light.  2/26/2001 Mon.
     I am the champion of God's holy will.  2/26/2001 Mon.
     We experienced a substantial amount of success focusing on the victory of God's will throughout each decree matrix this morning, Helios and Vestas (15 minutes), I Am Light decrees (15 minutes) and violet flame decrees (30 minutes). During our violet flames decrees we were able to formulate the idea "I Am the Champion of God's Holy Will." It is interesting to see how this thoughtform came to be. Initially, what came before my awareness was a scene in China prior to World War II, in which Japanese soldiers had a woman tied down, and they were repeatedly raping her. I believe that this scene comes from a description of the events which I heard given by the author of a book who lived through that time. I looked into this scene and thought that if I was there I would have to try to stop those men from doing that. But they would kill you for trying. Well, I thought, this is the test that is before my soul at this time, I've got to pass, and if I die in the process, then there is no better way to die than in service to a high ideal. So I said to myself I am the champion of that woman's right to live, and to live unviolated. And my service before the altar came into view at that point, and my goal to enter completely into the desire for the victory of God's will, and I realized at that point, that "I Am the Champion of God's Holy Will." And it was interesting to see that juxtaposed to this thoughtform there appeared instantly a counterforce which communicated clearly the sentiment, "Who are you to say that you are the champion of God's will? What right or authority do you have to say that? Ha! What a farce!" Now I suppose, that under the pressure of this counterforce, that I would have dropped the idea completely, if I was not able to coalesce within my mind right at that point the idea that the most important part of God's will is his desire for me to know and to realize and to be constantly aware of his infinite love for me personally and his ever present and dearest friendship at that. Without a doubt I am the champion of that aspect of God's will, for myself, and for all people, and that is for sure! And thus, I was able to hold that thoughtform as a new point of divine identity.   2/26/2001 Mon.
     I think that it is safe to say that this counterforce simply didn't pop up out of nowhere, that it has been a part of the substrate of my human consciousness all along, and only became clearly visible when juxtaposed to its opposite, i.e. once the thoughtform "I am the champion of God's holy will" coalesced in my mind, the counterforce was right there to say, "No you're not." Well, yes I am. And that "yes" will hopefully hold forevermore.  2/26/2001 Mon.
     25 minutes into our 30 minuted violet flame session a strong glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears in our 3rd eye chakra area.  2/26/2001 Mon.

      Hey! Didn't you know that in real life, you are supposed to register the impact of God's power constantly? Like this flame of sacred fire that has emerged in our 3rd eye area as we begin our footprint transcription work. And yes, there will come a day when you will not put up with anything less, when the mode of life that has you believing that living in the darkness of astral sentiment is the most natural way to live, will be finally exposed as the most laughable and silly fraud.  2/26/2001 Mon.
     In regards to this statement made on 2-24-2001: "All greed and lust after money and material goods is reflective of a deep seated fear that God will not provide the soul with what it needs," I am thinking that this lust, this grasping, this reaching out and grabbing after money, wealth, power, status, material possesions, and even companionship, represents an insane kind of certainty born of a rather virulent desperation that God will not provide the soul with what it needs. I mean it is no longer simply fear that God will not provide the soul with what it needs which is driving the soul to acquire material things, but rather a condition beyond fear, a condition born of the darkness of fear, yes a condition of blindness, where the soul sees no evidence that God will provide anything at all to the soul, and thus the soul has reached a level of inverted certainty that God is irrelevant, and therefore must reach out to grab what it needs, grasping little hands reaching out of a dark whirlwind of desperation.  [c-notes recorded in office].  2/26/2001 Mon.
p.m. decree service
      The sacred fire of peace and freedom appears brightly in our 3rd eye chakra area on the 4th repetition of (12) Tubes of Light coincident with this juxtaposition of opposing forces: On the one hand the idea of what we could be doing away from the altar, watching the evening news is what specifically comes to mind, and on the other hand the real knowledge that what you are engaged in here is having a positive impact on the quality of life on a planetary scale. We are happy to be here. The initial darkness of uncertainty has been eliminated.  2/26/2001 Mon.
     During the last 6 repetitions of our (12) Tube of Light decrees, a heavy burden upon the spine just below the heart came to the forefront of our awareness, and we had to slog our way through that, while the deep glow of sacred fire remained constant in our 3rd eye area.  2/26/2001 Mon.
     I added the word "deep" there to underscore that in the midst of the glow of sacred fire, there is always present that quality of depth. There is this great depth associated with all manifestations of sacred fire.   2/26/2001 Mon.
     It's not like you are looking at a candle flame from the outside. The fact is that the flame is both alive within your awareness, and at the same time, you reside within the flame, you count it as part of your identity during those moments when the sacred fire is active. Therefore, the qualities of the flame, i.e. those qualities that God desires to reveal, are evident within the very fabric of one's awareness. The (5) five qualities I perceive most often are 1) the sensation of glowing, 2) the quality of blessedness, i.e. the fabric of the awareness is clearly aglow with a power that impacts the sensabilities of the soul as a blessing, 3) the quality of freedom, 4) the quality of peace, and 5) the quality of great depth.  2/26/2001 Mon.
     A definite appears of a new dimension of peace and freedom at the 3rd eye area during our next set of (15) Hail Marys.  2/26/2001 Mon.
     We are continuing with the 3rd reading of Beloved Lanello's dictation, Vol. 28, No. 4, during this service.  2/26/2001 Mon.
     During our main preamble/insert, a very bright glow of sacred fire appears in our 3rd eye area juxtaposed to our affirmation of a previously revealed point of divine knowledge, specifically, repeated (3x), "That magic presence revealed to me juxtaposed to my repudiation of the T.O.P. enterprise." the T.O.P. enterprise refers to the Temple of Presence project begun in 1999 by Monroe and Carolyn Shearer. The revelation of that magic presence was released to me after I got up from my computer after quite a long work session composing a statement on why the T.O.P. enterprise was a project of the false hierarchy. It was such an amazing and blessed revelation that I make an effort to bring it to mind as a part of the main preamble/insert of my main decree service each day, along with several other points of divine revelation.   2/26/2001 Mon.
     Now, it's not that this revelation per se exposed the T.O.P. organziation to me as a false hierarchy project. I want to make that clear. Previous to the revelation of the magic presence, I was in a position to comment on the T.O.P. issue in the course of my participation in an on-line discussion forum, and when presented with the issue, I could see clearly why it was impossible for the T.O.P. enterprise to be the REAL thing. Simply impossible. After making my case, I got up from the computer to go into the kitchen to make my dinner salad, and wham (!), as I opened the kitchen door, this blessed magic presence descended upon me, enfolded me. It was a glorious experience, and I simply took that experience as a reward for a job well done, as a statement of reassurance that I was on the right track, that the level of awareness of truth and error that I had accumulated on the path thus far, was working properly, and serving me well, in cutting through and seeing past the illusion and the deception of ascended master sponsorship being so powerfully projected by the Shearers.   2/26/2001 Mon.
     A soft glow of sacred fire peace and freedom appears within the 3rd eye area on the 10th repetition of (12) 30.08 Covenant of the Magi calls.  2/26/2001 Mon.
     A glow of sacred fire peace and freedom that has the distinct character of whiteness to it appears strongly in our 3rd eye area at the end of our (15x) Hail Marys which we expanded to (20x).  2/26/2001 Mon.
     During our main preamble/insert, and continuing on through the service, this very interesting awareness has been hovering just at, or above, the ceiling of awareness, and as we prepare to enter into our Michael decrees, I wanted to note that there is present this awarenss of a realm of reality, more tangible than the physical, and that it is just beyond our grasp. We can sense it, it is clearly there, but we cannot grasp it. We have this sensation of having percolated to the surface, and we are about to break the surface, but we haven't yet, and just beyond the surface, there is reality, the world of Light, with rays of comfort filtering down to us, filling us with great hope and expectation.  2/26/2001 Mon.
     Huge hugs for Archangel Michael during the first 5 repetitions of our (45x) Michael calls in a conflagration of sacred fire whiteness. The strong glow of that sacred fire whiteness stays with us through the 15th repetition, and through the next 15 repetitions, and through the last 15 repetitions. We are very successful at a few points in entering into a very intense desire for the victory of God's will. At one point the beauty of God's will impacted me do directly that part of my being was launched like a rocket in a shower of sparkling whiteness into the upper regions to give God a huge hug.  2/26/2001 Mon.
     Leading into each of our (15x) Hail Marys (which are interspersed between each major decree matrix) we say, "We are now going to roll up our sleeves, and jump into this great work, shoulder to shoulder with Mother Mary, and work for the greatest possible victory of God's will, the greatest possible victory of God's infinite goodness, and the greatest possible victory of the nourishment of God's glory spread abroad across the entire planetary body." On this occasion, as we speak this portion of the phrase, "The greatest possible victory of God's infinite goodness," at that point our heart center comes to the forefront of awareness, and extending from that heart center is a power that let's us know that indeed, God is infinitely good. We tarry at that point for several repetitions of that phrase, pondering this power, before we proceed forward. We note that the power is there as long as the phrase is spoken.  2/26/2001 Mon.
     Friendship is not an abstract phenomena. It is very personal, and ever present. Therefore, we cannot continue to indulge this laziness that allows the friendship of our own God Presence to reside any longer within the realm of the abstract.  2/26/2001 Mon.
     During this set of prayers (3x) to Sanat Kumara and the Lady Master Venus requesting their help in making me more devoted to the victory of God's will, there appears in a soft suffusion of peace at the 3rd eye level, the friendly, reassuring, and natural closeness of Sanat Kumara and the Lady Master Venus. It was so subtle that I was tempted to overlook it, but the tugging of the heart helped to bring the reality of it into focus.  2/26/2001 Mon.
     A glow of sacred fire peace and freedom appears in our 3rd eye chakra area, having the character of whiteness, on the 15th repetition of (20x) Hail Marys.  2/26/2001 Mon.
