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. Note: Most links require Javascript to be enabled. For additional Footprints

| We are facing a major wall of reluctance as
we try to approach the altar today. A great pressure against my mind, that makes it very difficult
to conceive of how the act of speaking the word before the altar could possibly cast the wall of
reluctance asunder, making it a very convincing illusion. But we will speak the Word nevertheless,
and we shall see. 1/13/2001 |  |
| I have to say that in the midst of our
opening statement (in which we express, among other things, our gratitude for the work of the
Messengers which gave be the opportunity to find the Teachings in this life), an inner light of
freedom appears,
and it is so deep, and so vast, so much the antithesis of what we were experiencing before. Where
before, 99 percent of our desire body wanted to lounge on the couch in front of the T.V., now
100% of my desire body is poised in an aura of great relief as we look forward to the work that is
now set before us. 1/13/2001 |
| Before, wrapped around us like a Boa
Constrictor snake, was this idea, that we needed to take a break, as if our altar work was this
horrendously tiring labor, but now, we marvel at that delusion, the power of it, for what need is
there to take a break from paradise? And make no mistake about it, the sacred fire peace that has
emerged within the fabric of our awareness since we came before the altar, and opened our
mouth, is the very essence of paradise. 1/13/2001 | |
| A new dimension of sacred fire peace
emerged
during the first set of (15) Hail Marys. 1/13/2001 |
| Day #20 of the strength of many
mountains,
and day #14 of the many many fires of celebration of the Glory of God. 1/13/2001 | |
| Can you know love without knowing the
friendship of God? I think not. 1/13/2001 |
| Can you know love without knowing the
infinite love that God pours out to you personally? I think not. 1/13/2001 | |
| What then of those who talk about love,
yet
know not, realize not, the infinite love that God pours out to them personally, and realize not the
friendship of God, which is the most practical, personal, and individual expression of that
love? 1/13/2001 |
| Can love leap forth from a heart steeped in
the darkness of ignorance in this regard? I think not. 1/13/2001 | |
| Here is an inspired observation:
"One of the saddest elements of life in Cuba today is that there are thousands of educated
thinkers held prisoner in their own minds --- a hellish internal prison. What value is knowing how
to write if one's hands are tied? What use is knowing how to read if every word is filtered by the
government before it is seen? What use is thinking when there is no outlet for new ideas? Cubans
know that free expression of ideas leads down a narrow path to prison or exile ..."
From Catherine Moses, Real Life in Castro's Cuba, p. 71. This is a new book
published just last year (2000). I highly recommend it. Check your local library. Catherine
Moses is a career diplomat assigned to the U.S. Interests Section in Havana, Cuba from 1995
through 1999. 1/15/2001 |

Circumstances have kept me away from my regular decree work for two days. One can adapt too
easily to the old patterns of busyness which thoroughly occupy ones attention, which provide their
own array of sensory inputs that substitute quite well for the sense of divine reality. Looking out,
from within this web of distraction, I just wanted to note how alien it felt to think about our service
before the altar. Clearly we have merged with a state of consciousness that has no connection to
divine reality, which looks at it (from the abstract) as something that could not possibly be worth
devoting our time to. But, having taken care of those responsibilities, we are again at a place
where we have the opportunity to continue with our altar work. So, as we merge with the flow of
the Word, let us see where we will go. 1/16/2001 | |
| Though I did get to climb up and down
many
flights of stairs at the hospital, and we remember that now, in as much as the muscles in our legs
are tight and aching as a result of the effort. Stair climbing would be a useful addition to our
exercise routine. We will have to look for some stairs that are accessible around here somewhere.
1/16/2001 |
| Remarkable how we can so much in shape
in
one way, in terms of all of the muscles groups required to take a strong and swift walk for 30
minutes five times a week, and find out that we are so much out of shape in terms of those muscle
groups that are used to climb up and down several flights of stairs. 1/16/2001 | |
| The power of divine freedom, the very
essence
of paradise emerges in the most blessed glowing fashion from within the fabric of our mind,
centered in the third eye over the course of our (15) Tubes of Light. 1/16/2001 |
| A couple of days ago, I emailed the Trails
West Wilderness School to ask them why their Grand Teton Web Cam was stuck on November 6,
2000. The director responded that the web cam was malfunctioning, and it may take some time to
fix because it is located in a remote area accessible only on snow shoes or cross country skis during
the winter. He said it might not be until June 2001 before the problem gets
fixed. 1/16/2001 | |
| While waiting in the parking lot of the
hospital
this morning, we were listening to 830AM radio, an interview with Steven W. Moser, author of
Hegemon : The Chinese Plan to Dominate Asia and the World. This is clearly a book
that is a must read. 1/16/2001 |
| We also got a lot of reading done during
our
long waits --- Catherine Moses, Real Life in Castro's Cuba. Very balanced,
straightforward and informative written from the perspective of a person who became captivated
by the goodness of the Cuban people, though with enough wherewithal not to fall under the spell
of the Castro revolution, though she did her best to describe the "gains" of the revolution.
1/16/2001 | |
| In relationship to this idea that each of the
four
lower bodies is supported by an energy emanation from each of the seven chakras, I can begin to
see why the effort to bring the desire body into alignment with the one-pointed longing for the
victory of God's will has such a powerful impact on the awareness overall. When you succeed, all
seven of the chakras are not only aligned in the same direction, they are also approaching the point
of natural resonance, allowing the awareness to begin to merge with the process of light
descending from the heart of God, to the heart of each chakra, and returning to the heart of God.
In other words, the point of natural resonance is the point of divine functionality in which all the
chakras work together as a single system of cognition designed to report to the soul the great reality
of God. And that is exactly what begins to appear upon the horizon of consciousness as the soul
succeeds in bringing the desire body into alignment with the desire to see of the victory of God's
will, and that victory only. 1/16/2001 |
| A crown of sacred fire peace, the power of
paradise, emerges within the crown area on the 14th of (15) 30.08 Covenant of the Magi
calls. 1/16/2001 | |
| As we focused on anchoring that sense of
longing for the victory of God's will in our desire body (during 30.08) the heart center emerged to
the forefront of consciousness, prominent in terms of the passion that resides
therein. 1/16/2001 |
| A new dimension of sacred fire peace
during
our next set of (20) Hail Marys. We feel like the space shuttle sitting on the launching pad, all
fueled up, all the astronauts strapped in and ready to go, just waiting for the count down to run its
course. 1/16/2001 | |
| It is the victory of God's will for you to
know
his friendship, and can there be any doubt about it? That the chakras, cleansed, healed, and
aligned are designed to bring forth that reality to the very forefront of
consciousness? 1/16/2001 |
| The subject of Elvis Presley came up last
night, when Karla asked me if I would set the VCR to record one of his movies. I respectfully
declined, explaining briefly that I was opposed to Rock Music in any form. My reason for this can
be more clearly understood when you apply the aforementioned principle. Without placing any
particular judgment upon the soul of Elvis Presley, we simply note that the Rock Beat strips the
chakras of light, i.e. turning the desire body away from God, and into a posture of worship before
the altar of the human idol, into the posture of worship before the purveyor of good feeling, into
the posture of worship before the one with the power to distract the people from their worries,
concerns, and anxieties (without showing them the way to be truly free). Because the desire body
is the emanation of all seven chakras, to subvert the desire body, is to pollute all seven chakras
simultaneously, i.e. to subvert the desire body is to distort the geometry of those chakras, to
decelerate them further, and draw the energy out of them to serve the purposes of darkness, rather
than the Light. Every time a person indulges in the Rock Beat, the person becomes less capable
of registering divine reality, because that capacity is tied directly to the health of the
chakras. 1/16/2001 | |
| The life and death of Elvis Presley is a
sufficient illustration of the validity of these principles. From a very early age, unto his death, he
indulged in the Rock Beat. But of course, he was not simply a passive receiver of the Rock Beat,
which is self-destructive enough, but as the generator of that Rock Beat, which is clearly the way
to accelerate the destruction of the divine capacity of the chakras. And so it was, that even though
the man had millions of fans, who bowed and scraped at his feet, who poured great amounts of
adulation upon him, who would have made him a king of the world, and even though he was
surfeited with material wealth, and all the trappings of worldly power that wealth bestows, none of
this could counter-balance the great darkness he had brought upon himself in the destruction of the
light carrying capacity of his chakras. It is the inner light, anchored in the chakras, that is the
source of all true hope. He had completely lost that. And because of it, he had nothing within
himself that could generate hope, and thus he was driven to suicide by an overwhelming sense of
desperation. 1/16/2001 |
| It is of course a worthy subject of study,
something to put under the microscope, this phenomena of physical existence that allows a person
to "feel good" at the same time that they are destroying the Light carrying capacity of their
chakras. 1/16/2001 | |
| Perhaps it is as simple as the idea of a
person
in the desert who squeezes the nutrients out of a cactus flower and feel refreshed for a moment,
but the blossom is destroyed. In other words, the act of destroying the chakra releases its light,
which nourishes the body temple for a few brief moments, and that feels good, but the capacity of
the chakra to hold light is subsequently reduced. Perhaps this is the meaning of the Master's
statement that some people take heaven by force. It may well be. 1/16/2001 |
| When you also consider that the mental
body
is a forcefield of mental energy that likewise emanates from each of the seven chakras
simultaneously, we can see then what role thought plays in the alignment of the chakras, and on
the capacity of the chakras to generate a desire body forcefield that is unified along the lines that
we have discussed. In other words, the thought of the victory of God's will is always the precursor
to projecting from the chakras a desire body that is aligned to that thought. 1/16/2001 | |
| And we should say also that the chakras do
not
simply exist as a system of cognition whereby the soul is made aware of the reality of God in all his
majesty, though this is the most fundamental operational principle, but it should also be noted that
the chakras represent a system of divine manifestation whereby the gifts of God to the soul are
expressed in form for the benefit of all. 1/16/2001 |
| The four lower bodies, in terms of their
substance, structure, and utilitarian dimensions, are the most obvious example of this principle.
We work out the design for our creative tasks within the mental body. The desire to carry out our
creative tasks, i.e. the power to bring them into physical manifestation, is found in the desire body.
The means to carry the creative plan into physical manifestation is found in the physical body.
The etheric body (memory body) allows us to store a record of the design, and its current status,
so we will always know where we are in the creative process. 1/16/2001 | |
| Now, one of the great mysteries is the
human
brain, and how that organ relates to the chakras, and to the four lower bodies in general. The first
observation to make is that the physical body itself is the emanation of all seven chakras at a level
of vibration that we will call physical, as distinct from the emotional or astral level, the mental
level, and the etheric or memory level. 1/16/2001 |
| Thus, each of the seven chakras has at
least 4
distinct levels, (and probably the capacity to generate a bio-forcefield at an infinite number of
vibrational levels), but for our current purposes, each chakra has four levels, etheric, mental,
emotional, physical. 1/16/2001 | |
| Therefore, we can say that every organ in
the
physical body, including the brain, is a composite projection of each of the seven chakras at the
physical level. 1/16/2001 |
| Clearly, the order of cause and effect
relationships is this --- etheric, mental, emotional, physical. Distortions at the etheric cascade
down into the mental, the emotional, and finally the physical. Thus it is well to remember
the plan and the purpose of God, and thus conform all thoughts, feelings, and actions to those
purposes. 1/16/2001 | |
| Please join us in the most important
patriotic
project in American history, i.e the China Boycott. 1/16/2001 |
| Under a stifling blanket of oppression the
very
moment we finish breakfast, and turn our attention to the next step in our daily journey, i.e. to the
sanctuary. It took us 30 minutes to get there, i.e. to cover the 100 or so feet from the kitchen to
the sanctuary. As we stand before the altar we are again squirming under the heavy downward
pressure, pressing down down down upon the spine just below the heart. 1/17/2001 | |
| At the 7th Tube of Light, the downward
pressure upon the spine, oppressive, stifling, uncomfortable in the extreme, was still the
overwhelming reality of our world. But at the 9th repetition, a blossom of sacred fire peace
appears at the third eye, a veritable focal point of relief and freedom, and by the 15th repetition
only about 5% of the downward pressure remained, with the great majority of our attention lifted
up into that sacred fire peace. 1/17/2001 |
| The weight of oppression has returned full
force during our main preamble and insert, and it has remained upon us throughout all of it, nearly
20 minutes, lifting slightly during the repetition of our recollection of the strength of many
mountain revelation, and finally lifted around the 10th of (15) 30.08 Covenant of the Magi calls
which delivered us back into that mode of mind where the victory of God's will as a concept and
principle could finally be brought to mind once again. 1/17/2001 | |
| I am wondering what that was all about,
perhaps we had to carry the burden of darkness which was our lot and assignment to make up for
the two days of service that we missed, i.e. Sunday and Monday. 1/17/2001 |
| During Michaels the power of divine
freedom
appeared early on in the crown and third eye areas but for the great majority of the Michael
session, we slipped again under that heavy burden upon the spine, very heavy oppression just
below the heart, and we had to struggle forward under that weight. When we reached the last 5
repetitions, the weight disappeared, and the power of sacred fire freedom came to the forefront
once again. 1/17/2001 | |
| When we are under the weight of this
oppression, nothing of divine reality is apparent. In that respect we are in utter darkness,
uncomfortable and squirming in our chair under the weight of it. It reminds me of the words of
Jesus who said, "Father why hast thou forsaken me?" Not that I am tempted to say that, because it
is becoming clear that there are times when the requirements of the Path for a particular day will
require you to carry that weight of oppression for a time, though it is not more than one can bear,
though its close to that point at times. Nevertheless we can bear it, though it is not fun in any
way. 1/17/2001 |
| Our next set of (20) Hail Marys delivers us
into a new dimension of sacred fire peace in the crown area, and more clearly a sense that our Hail
Marys are a very useful exercise format for trying to gather up all of our desires, i.e. to consolidate
all desire into a single desire that we give the call in such a manner that the Master can make
maximum use of it in terms of her ability to intercede on behalf of God's children on a planetary
scale. This desire we note, also brings the heart center to the forefront of awareness, and this
makes sense, because not only is the heart the source of this desire, but the heart contains the
resources and treasures which the soul can pour into the call, which alone provides the necessary
ingredients to multiply the effectiveness of the call. 1/17/2001 | |
| As we stand before the altar giving our
opening
statements, we are pondering the heavy inertia that stand upon us and all around us, and we
wonder whether this is in fact the very obstacle that keeps the forces of darkness itself out of the
regions of heaven, for it is like a shear rock wall, seemingly impenetrable, exhibiting nothing of the
reality of the light. No hint whatsoever of the paradise that lies beyond it. And as long as we are
in the physical, we will face this wall each time we approach the altar, and through the invocation
of the Word, learn to pass through it each day without giving it a second thought.
1/18/2001 |
| Without faith you cannot pass through it,
because there is nothing that speaks of what lies beyond. In fact, the inertia pushes you away
saying, "there is nothing here, go away." 1/18/2001 | |
| The wall of inertia remains intact and its
heavy
oppression lays heavily upon the spine below the heart through the 9th repetition of (15) Tubes of
Light. On the 9th repetition the power of divine freedom appears in the third eye area, witnessing
to the illusion of impenetrability which we faced just moments before. The wall has dissolved, and
before us the penetrating light of freedom beckons us forward. By the 15th repetition, our inner
world is composed of 90% upliftment into the light of freedom, that sacred fire of peace at the
third eye area, and 10% weight upon the spine. 1/18/2001 |
| In the midst of our 1st set of (15) Hail
Marys
our entire being shifts into a space of absolute peace and tranquility. 1/18/2001 | |
| Holding the desire body in alignment with
the
desire to bring forth the victory of God's will is easier during our Michael calls. It takes more
effort during our violet flame calls, but once you lock into it, the heart center comes to the
forefront of awareness, pouring forth a reinforcing passion in the exact
direction. 1/18/2001 |
| Decree work should be seen then as that
arena of opportunity to anchor, over an extended period of time, a particular supporting forcefield
which the soul can then use to facilitate its efforts towards the mastery of the desire body, i.e. to
become the master over the desire body, which of course the soul must do.
1/18/2001 | |
| Clearly, a prerequisite for reunion with
God is
this mastery, where the soul bubbles with constant ineffable joy at its ability to hold the one-
pointed desire for the victory of God's will. 1/18/2001 |
| Even though one experiences the beneficial
feedback from success in this area while you are within a supporting forcefield, it still represents
the first real sign of self-mastery, for it is the soul that is making the effort to establish the
forcefield, and it is the soul that makes the effort to hold the desire body in the
configuration. 1/18/2001 | |
| When one succeeds, the flow of the Word,
i.e.
the decree work generally, is transformed from drudgery, into a very real arena of opportunity to
embrace more experiences of victory. Your being is aglow with the ambiance of victory itself.
The horizon of awareness presents to the soul at all compass points, the living promise of more
victories to come, and I say living promise, because this promise is presented to the soul by
the very thrust of divine power into the very consciousness of the soul. 1/18/2001 |
| So, if anyone asks you about the reason
for
decree work, you can approach it from this perspective. It is the only arena of growth opportunity
within which the reality of self-mastery first emerges, specifically in terms of the mastery of the
desire body, a mastery that is a fundamental prerequisite for further manifestations of self-mastery,
and of course, for the ultimate reunion of the soul with God. 1/18/2001 | |
| The most precious glowing sacred fire
peace
appears in our crown chakra area during the 20.07 Judgment and 20.09 Dweller sections of the
20.12 decree matrix. It is a precious joy and delight to proceed forward with our calls in the midst
of this glowing peace. 1/18/2001 |
| Picking upon on our discussion of the
relationship between the chakras and the four lower bodies, we see then that every thought is a
seven-fold creature, representing the energy input from each of the seven chakras. The same
holds true for every feeling, every memory, and every physical action. 1/18/2001 | |
| Sparkling ambiance of sacred friendship
and
comfort during our Great Divine Director calls (10.08)(3x). 1/18/2001 |
| God's will is such a dazzling, blazing,
conflagration of goodness that ensouls the entire cosmos. Cornucopias of the highest good ready
and willing to pour forth in such abundance as to strike the most profound awe, yes even in the
heart of the greatest of Archangels. 1/18/2001 | |
| Yet another dimension of sacred fire peace
descends and rests gently upon our awareness during our closing Om Ah Humms
(15x). 1/18/2001 |
| In the last part of our decree service in
which
we give several calls three times each (3x - 7.21, 40.06, Astreas, Cyclopeas, Illumination, Gt. Div.
Directors, I Seek Thee, Healing, I Am Light, Light of the Heart, Helios and Vestas), We have
started to the practice of giving (3x) Hail Marys in between, and I wanted to say that during each
set of three Hail Marys, we are finding it quite easy and a very effective practice to focus with pin-
point accuracy on the victory of God's will. The heart center emerges with a definite supporting
passion, and a new level of closeness between us is clearly manifest. This part of the decree
service was a constant and uniform paradise of sacred fire. 1/18/2001 | |
| The initial wall of inertia wall of inertia
stays
intact through the first 3 repetitions of our Tubes of Light. The wall begins to crumble on the 4th
repetition with the appearance of the power of divine freedom at the 3rd eye chakra area. At the
end of our (15) repetitions a forcefield of divine freedom is fully anchored in the 3rd eye area, a
forcefield of divine promise. 1/19/2001 |
| In other words, you look into this
forcefield of
freedom, and the only thing that is there is support for all forward movement. In contrast, you
look back into the carnal mind and you instantly sense the fingers of inertia ready to grasp hold of
your awareness and draw you back down into the darkness of uncertainty. Looking forward into
the forcefield of freedom, there is nothing there to hinder you in the work that is before you.
1/19/2001 | |
| For example, we are free to look forward
with
great and hopeful anticipation in our renewed efforts to invest the totality of our awareness, our
entire being in the desire for the victory of God's will. I can say that such a forward looking
thought would have been impossible to formulate under the former condition of inertia. There, all
thoughts were horizontal, and of the form that would try to crawl away from the altar like so many
slinky and spineless shadows back into the darkness under some rock of astral
distraction. 1/19/2001 |
| And I think that is an interesting and valid
observation. When you are under the direct influence of that wall of inertia, when the altar work is
directly before you, your thoughts tend to fracture into a variety of little dribbles, i.e. when you
mind splashes up against the prospect of your altar work, the thought energy bounces off and
dribbles away, with each dribble taking on the form of some idea on how it would be better to go
and do something else. When the wall of inertia has been dissolved, and the sacred fire of
freedom has taken up its place in the 3rd eye chakra area, it pulls your attention into itself, and
your awareness reaches out through that forcefield, and the return current reports that there is
nothing but clear sailing ahead. 1/19/2001 | |
| We began this Michael session under
another
heavy burden of inertia/oppression weighing down upon us in a uniform manner. Thus the
outlook was not hopeful at all for continuing. But, at the 7th repetition, the power of divine
freedom appeared in the 3rd eye and crown chakra areas, giving us a path forward even though
the weight still pressed upon our spine in a heavy and oppressive manner. But that weight steadily
diminished as the power of freedom expanded to encompass the totality of our body
temple. 1/19/2001 |
| The 20 minute violet flame session
followed
the same pattern generally, with a heavy stifling weight upon as we began, which didn't diminish
until we were more than 3/4's of the way through the session, but even after that it did not break
completely. A faint glow of divine freedom in the 3rd eye area, with a steady sensation of
oppression upon the spine below the heart. 1/19/2001 | |
| A very pronounced blossoming of sacred
fire
peace in the 3rd eye area during our next set of (15) Hail Marys. 1/19/2001 |
| All opposition vanished during the 20.07
Judgment and 20.09 Dweller sections of the 20.12 decree matrix. The power of divine freedom in
the 3rd eye area very prominent, very strong, making the work a delight. The condition of delight
was further amplified during the .30 Solar Ring section. 1/19/2001 | |
| A new dimension of sacred fire peace
during
our next set of (15) Hail Marys. 1/19/2001 |
| A crystal white avenue of sacred fire purity
opens up before us during Astreas (3x), at the 3rd eye. 1/19/2001 | |
| A most wonderful charging of our
awareness
and being with a most remarkable sacred fire clarity, peace, like pure white marble, it is that solid,
yet it is fire, during our Great Divine Director (10.08) calls (3x). 1/19/2001 |
| This manifestation is so powerful that it
will
easily qualify as the pinnacle experience of the entire day. The tangible glow of purity from the
top of my head to the tips of my toes, and glowing outwardly from all internal regions of being.
We got to spend the rest of the decree service in the mode of divine saturation. Clearly we are not
in any hurry for this decree service to end. 1/19/2001 | |
Daily Prayers in the U.S. House
January 20,
2001 | Daily Prayers in the U.S. Senate
January 20, 2001 | The
House met at 10 a.m.
The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following
prayer:
Lord God of Heaven and Earth, Your Word charges our human actions
so that they may have lasting value. Your spirit transforms human words so that hearts and
attitudes change and You alter the course of human events.
Be with us today as we are drawn into the inauguration of George W.
Bush as the 43rd President of the United States of America. By Your grace, may the peaceful
transition of government today so touch the soul of this Nation that all Your people may stand with
confidence, grateful for all the blessings You have brought upon this Nation.
May all of us, from the highest office in this Nation to the weakest
hidden in our midst, prove responsible and be renewed in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
as our Constitution promises. May You choose us as Your peaceful and powerful instrument in
this world because we choose You to be our Lord and God now and forever. Amen. | The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following
prayer:
Almighty God, Sovereign of our Nation and Lord of our lives, we begin
this 107th Senate with a renewed commitment of our lives to You. The Senators and all of us who
are privileged to work with them turn over to You the control of our lives with fresh dedication.
Remind us that we are here by Your choice and permission and that You will provide exactly what
is needed to meet the challenges and opportunities of each new day. We thank You for our new
President and Vice President and their families.
Give George W. Bush and DICK CHENEY Your power to lead wisely, the guidance to
know and follow Your will, the courage to call all of us to servant leadership, and the desire to
forge strong ties between the executive and legislative branches of our Government. May a bond
of mutual trust enable creative dialog and constructive debate that move us forward in dealing with
the crucial issues before our Nation.
Lord, there is no limit to what we are able to do through women and
men who love You and whose hearts have been galvanized into unity and devotion for America.
May it be so now, Lord. Amen. |

| The dark cloud of Bill Clinton's presidency
has
finally passed, and for a while, America is awash in the sunshine of righteousness and integrity.
The rain which fell over Washington D.C. during the inauguration of George W. Bush is a symbol
of the cleansing that now can begin for the entire nation. 1/20/2001 |
| This dark black cloud of the Clinton
presidency was never a natural cloud born of the desire of nature to bring vital abundance to the
earth, and it was never pregnant with cleansing and revitalizing showers, but was rather composed
from the very beginning of the thick black smoke which rose and belched from the veritable fires
of Hell; the fog of Mordor, hanging close to the ground, stinging the eyes, obscuring the vision,
choking the breath, and clogging and plugging up the higher sensibilities of the divine soul.

Power of divine freedom appears in the 3rd eye area at the 10th of (15) Tubes of
Light. 1/20/2001 |
| Today Bill Clinton said to his cheering
supporters at the airport, "You gave me the ride of my life." That about sums up the entire warp
and woof of the Clinton presidency. From the beginning to the ending it was all about giving Bill
Clinton what he needed to feel alive, what he needed to feel like he was somebody. It was never
about service. It was never about the good of the nation. 1/20/2001 | |
| Before getting out of bed today, as we
lingered
in that singularly unique twilight zone between sleep and the imperative to get up, we wondered
why it was so difficult to focus our mind on the victory of God's will from the very first thought of
the day. We tried to formulate the thought but it seemed that a Herculean effort was required to
hold it. All the energies of my being seemed to want to run out into a little puddle on the side
walk, talking whatever route offered the least resistance. One though would wander off in that
direction, another wold wander off in another direction, none of it serving any particular purpose.
As we pondered this, and tried again and again to gather up our attention into a single little bundle
focused on the victory of God's will, and watching the effort dribble away in various directions
again and again, we were given a revelation. We were in a place of complete darkness, and I mean
complete darkness! And then a brilliant white light sprang up in front of me, diffused in as
much as the source could not be seen, but nevertheless, there was light amidst the darkness, and
that light was the victory of God's will. 1/20/2001 |
| I think we already know this in principle,
but
this vision reinforced the idea that there is never an inappropriate time to desire, to think, to call
forth the victory of God's will, for God's will is Light, and with that Light you will always be able
to see the way to go. 1/20/2001 | |
| Clear manifestation of sacred fire in the
crown
chakra during this set of (15) Hail Marys. 1/20/2001 |
| Perhaps a new meaning for the fire of
freedom during our violet flame calls. No burdens, and a constant glow in the third eye and crown
areas, with only the thoughts of our Saturday household chores running through our mind's eye.
That's right. We are actually looking forward to those chores. 1/20/2001 | |

January 22,
2001 | Daily Prayers in the U.S. Senate
January 22, 2001 | | U.S. House not in
session today | The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered
the following prayer:
O God of new beginnings, give us minds open to Your fresh vision and
hearts ready to be warmed by the glow of Your presence. Open our ears to hear Your
admonition, Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit--Zechariah 4:6.
Remind us all that it is not by human strategies or clever
power-brokering that Your work is done but by the grace, guidance, and gifts of Your Spirit. Help
the Senators to humbly ask for and to willingly receive the supernatural endowments of Your
wisdom, discernment, insight, and courage. You alone can make good leaders great leaders. May
You grant the Senators such lodestar magnetism that there can be no other explanation for their
dynamic words and lives than that they have been with You
and have decided to live in the flow of Your Spirit.
Free them from the limits of self-reliance. Surprise them with what You
can do with leaders who are totally reliant on Your spiritual reinforcement and resilience. Fill this
Chamber with Your glory and the Senators with Your grace. You are our Lord and Saviour.
Amen. |

| We finally had the opportunity to get back
to
our journal transcription work. Its been more than a month since we have worked on it. Its a
good exercise for me at least to be able to go over what I have written before. Concerning doubts
about the value of the transcriptions for others, I am greatly comforted, and such doubts are largely
set aside, by the concept of a rose. When new growth appears on a rose bush after a long winter,
that which thrusts itself out from under the brownish grey skin of a dried up and crooked branch,
looks nothing at all like a rose, yet that's where the growth must begin. 1/22/2001 |
| As we went through our prayers for the
greater realization of God's infinite love for me personally, there appeared, as a penumbra of
reality around that central desire, the knowledge that God's infinite love is composed of a wide
variety of desires to bless, and to initiate, and to nurture growth into the most noble and majestic
modality of divine being. The grandeur of our identity as held in the mind's eye of God, is no less
than awesome. 1/22/2001 | |
| So, how do we get from where we are, to
where God desires us to be? Keep on keeping on. Take it one step at a time. 1/22/2001 |
| During our Michael preamble the sacred
fire
of freedom appeared within the fabric of our awareness, growing stronger as we proceeded
through the 45 repetitions. This sacred fire has subtle movement which I detect as an updraft,
again, the effort made to focus on the desire for the victory of God's will brought the heart center
into our awareness. 1/22/2001 | |
| Perhaps the long grinding reign of Fidel
Castro
will serve as a lesson for all future generations of Cubans that when the opportunity comes to stand
up for freedom again, that they will remain vigilant and not let it slip through their fingers
again. 1/22/2001 |
| Is there any doubt about it, that all future
generations of Cubans will look back at the Castro years as the darkest stain of disaster even
imprinted upon the history of the Cuban people? I think not. 1/22/2001 | |
| The sacred fire of freedom appeared in
our
third eye area during the very first of our violet flame calls. We got to ponder it like a jewel
shining over the course of the entire violet flame session. 1/22/2001 |
| During our next set of (15) Hail Marys,
sacred fire peace pressing down from above in a powerful manner, the darkness giving way to a
whiteness streaming down. 1/22/2001 | |
| We got to wear what felt like a crown of
sacred
fire during the last set of calls, Cyclopeas, Illuminations, Great Divine
Directors. 1/22/2001 |
Daily Prayers in the U.S. House
January 23,
2001 | Daily Prayers in the U.S. Senate
January 23, 2001 | | U.S. House not in
session today | The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered
the following prayer:
Dear Father, who has graciously made each of us a never-to-be-repeated
miracle of uniqueness, we praise You that we can be ourselves because You love us, we can use
our gifts because You gave them to us, and we can grasp the opportunities You provide because
You want to surprise us with Your goodness. All that we possess and have become is because of
Your providence. The wonder of it all is that it is Your nature to go beyond what You have done
or given before. This gives the zest of expectation
and excitement to our lives. It also helps us to know that we can come to You with our worries and
anxieties, our fears and frustrations, our hopes and hurts.
You know us as we really are and see beneath the shining armor of
pretended sufficiency. You know when we are at the end of our tethers and need Your strength;
You understand our discouragements and disappointments and renew our hope; You feel our
physical and emotional pain and heal us. You have told us that to whom much is given, much will
be required. Thank You that You have taught us that of whom much is required, much shall be
given. Help us not to be stingy receivers today. You are our
Saviour and Lord. Amen. |

| Power of divine freedom dawns on the 5th
of
(10) Tubes of Light. By the tenth repetition a substantial presence of sacred fire, with a sensation
of the color violet at the center of the mind. 1/23/2001 | |
| Day #30 of the strength of many
mountains,
and #24 of the many many fires of celebration of the glory of God. 1/23/2001 |
| A most blessed appearance of sacred fire
peace, freedom, paradise, within the fabric of our awareness during 30.08 Covenant of the Magi
calls. It exudes the quality of great depth and boundlessness. 1/23/2001 | |
| The reality of friendship of my very own
God
Presence comes very close during our Michael preamble. This Michael session (45x) was a
uniform joy throughout with a substantial amount of success in gathering up all of the energies of
being, and pouring them into that one-pointed desire for the victory of God's
will. 1/23/2001 |
| As we got up to go take a break, we
looked at
the portraits of Jesus and St. Germain and asked as we normally do that these Masters seal the
calls given so far until we return shortly. For the first time, a tangible conception of these
Masters coalesced in my third eye as shining hearts of sacred fire, beings of Light composed of the
very substance of which we are becoming increasingly familiar. And as we concentrate on the
take of trying to record what we have seen, there is a definite fire of freedom focused in the third
eye area. 1/23/2001 | |
| They are totally and completely composed
of
the sacred fire of freedom. And it makes sense to me now that the first instance of true
identification comes only after the soul is made familiar with that sacred fire. 1/23/2001 |
| Another rationale for daily decree work. If
you want to know the Masters as they are, you must invoke the same substrate of identity, which is
the sacred fire of freedom, and keep invoking it until is sticks. 1/23/2001 | |
| A new dimension of crystal fire peace, and
clarity, envelopes our entire body temple during the next set of (15) Hail
Marys. 1/23/2001 |
| When you consider this great task before
you,
to pour every element of your being into the desire for the victory of God's will, consider that it is
not hard to surrender all that you are into the blazing reality of God's infinite goodness, into the
blazing reality of God's infinite love for you personally, and even into the blazing reality of the
ever present friendship of your own God Presence. In fact, it is a great joy to strain all the sinews
of your being, stretching all that you are, into that ultimate immersion into these concentric orbs of
paradise. 1/23/2001 | |
| We got to spend that entire violet flame
session
in paradise (15 minutes), noting that it is a very useful exercise to bring those concentric orbs into
focus one at a time as you give your calls, making the end result, i.e the desire for the victory of
God's will an indestructible diamond at the center. 1/23/2001 |
| Thus, the infinite goodness of God
anchored
in awareness, the infinite love of God for you personally anchored in awareness, the glorious and
ever present friendship of your very own beloved God Presence anchored in awareness, supports
an ever intensifying kernel of desire to devote all the facilities of being to the victory of God's
will. 1/23/2001 | |
| One of the most glorious pastimes a soul
can
engage in is the contemplation of God's infinite goodness. 1/23/2001 |
| For a truth, it is the mind of Christ, and the
mind of Christ only, that has the capacity to contemplate such a thing, and as the soul begins to put
on its Christ identity, that soul will begin to have access to that treasury of
awareness. 1/23/2001 | |
| How does the soul put on the mind of
Christ?
That is what the Path of Initiation is all about. 1/23/2001 |
Daily Prayers in the U.S. House
January 24,
2001 | Daily Prayers in the U.S. Senate
January 24, 2001 | | U.S. House not in
session today | The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered
the following prayer:
Omnipotent God, who hung the stars in their place, put planets in their
orbits, and created humankind on this planet in this universe among universes, You are our
Creator, Redeemer, and Lord. Everything within us rallies to express our praise. You have created
us to love You, and when love for You is the motive of all we do, all of life is worshiped. Today
we want our work to be our way of telling You how much we love You. What a privilege You
have given us to serve You out of love in this Senate
of this Nation You love and have blessed so bountifully!
Therefore, we commit this day to glorify You so that even mundane
duties will serve as a magnificent praise to You. Help us to love and care for the people with
whom we work as if in them we meet You dressed in the manifold variety of human personalities.
May our constant goal be to do our work with excellence as devotion to You. ``Oh Yahweh, our
Adonai, how excellent is Your name in all the earth. For You have created us a little lower than
Elohim, Yourself, and crowned us with glory and honor
to assume dominion over the works of Your hands.''--Psalm 8: 1, 5-6.
Amen. |
|
| Day #31 of the strength of many
mountains
and #25 of the many many fires of celebration of the Glory of God. 1/24/2001 | |
| And Day #29 of the Golden Portal of
Heart
and the many divine cities revealed therein. I have to say that it is very wonderful that we were
reminded of that during our journal transcriptions, and it is very wonderful that the memory is
refreshed as we enter into this decree work. 1/24/2001 |
| What is "wonderful" per se? It is the
leaping
of the sacred fire within you, it is the illumination of the dark cavern of being, it is the dancing
flame of God's joy within the fabric of your mind. 1/24/2001 | |
| Power of divine freedom leaps into our
awareness at the third eye chakra on the third repetition of (10) Tubes of
Light. 1/24/2001 |
| A new dimension of sacred fire peace
during
the first set of (15) Hail Marys. 1/24/2001 | |
| Carried quite a burden of oppression
through
our Michaels and violet flame calls, which put us in that mode of mind that starts to look for an
exit by looking ahead and planning to shorten the remaining decree work, in this case the
20.12/20.07/20.09 matrix. But by the second repetition of the 20.09 Dweller call, the power of
divine freedom was restored to my third eye chakra. This has cleared away all
opposition. 1/24/2001 |
| Before that point, my consciousness was
being pulled inexorably downward like a gigantic mud slide, though we did stand fast and continue
the calls. Once that sacred fire of freedom appeared in my third eye chakra, all dimensions of my
attention were lifted up and focusing on the marvel of that sacred fire glow. 1/24/2001 | |
| I am wondering about these burdens of
heavy
oppression that we seem to be required to carry more often as of late. I am wondering if it can be
explained by pointing at the burden of karma that the Masters carry for us in order that we will
have an opportunity to build up a momentum of service, and once we build up that momentum of
service, of invocation, to a certain crescendo, that karmic burden is incrementally shifted back
upon us, for transmutation in the sacred fire that we are now steadily invoking on a daily basis.
That seems to me to be the most obvious and reasonable explanation. 1/24/2001 |
