FOOTPRINTS ON
THE MOUNTAIN

Jun. 1, 2001 - Jun. 3, 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.

     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness, at a level of (2) to (3) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity, at the 3rd repetition of (5x) Tubes of Light.  6/1/2001 Fri.
     There are some who like to point out the weak points of unbridled Capitalism. But they ought not indulge the strong temptation, as the adherents of Marxism are so quick to do, to throw out the whole baby along with the full tub of dirty bath water. The free enterprise system is the foundation of the path of initiation. Put another way, the free enterprise system is the foundation of that path which leads a nation back to the heart of God. When the people freely and consciously balance their responsibilities to both God and their fellow man by integrating the path of initiation into fabric of their economic life --- consciously intertwining social, economic, and political activity with the soul's quest for personal communion with God --- the glory of the God- Identity will descend into the temple of man, and all facets of life within the culture will come into balance, and truly, the value of the free enterprise system will be questioned no more --- no more than the crystal goblet that holds the precious wine of wisdom.  6/1/2001 Fri.
     Upon the Sealing of this service, we are given to see that any amount of real peace experienced by those who are honestly devoted to Jesus Christ, even within the (flawed) theological framework promulgated by organized Christianity, be it Catholicism, Orthodox, or Protestant, that the same origin revelation, concerning the master's overshadowing assistance, must apply. What the master reveals to these souls, in terms of the qualities of heavenly peace and power, irrespective of their incomplete and distorted conceptions of truth, is the power of their own God Presence as well. It must be so.   6/1/2001 Fri.

     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom and paradise emerged within the fabric of our awareness at the very onset of our cosmic clock prayers, in terms of our yearly cycle of Sagittarius, directed at Lord Maitreya, at a level of (6) to (7) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity. A very blessed and precious presence of peace. Very solid. Very tangible. [c- notes recorded in office]  6/1/2001 Fri.
     This is day #159 of the revelation within my very own heart center of the strength of many mountains, and #157 of the golden portal of the heart and the many divine cities revealed therein, and #153 of the many many fires of celebration of the glory of God, and #118 of the nourishment of God's glory spread abroad across the entire planetary body, and #109 of the garden paradise of the heart, the place where divine friends meet, where the word "cherish" describes every relationship, and #88 of the personal closeness of my very own beloved God Presence, and #80 of my very own beloved God Presence as the presence of paradise, and #67 of the heart as home, and #51 of the flaming garment of praise and adoration, encrusted with thousands of jewels of divine perception, and #47 of the sacred presence of our Father/Mother God throughout all space, and #41 of God as the center of Life, and #34 of God as our very own beloved Oasis deserving of my utmost respect, and #28 of God deserving to be honored at all times and under all circumstances, and #27 of the passion of the heart for the victory of God's will through the science of the spoken word, and #25 of the great power and treasure of the heart center, and day #18 of the great compassion of our own beloved God Presence, and day #11 of the power of love, and of God's total identity as love.  [c-notes recorded in office]  6/1/2001 Fri.
      This is the 75th consecutive day of the Linda Healing Project.
Ritual outline: We begin repeating our victory thoughtform the minute we wake up, "God deserves my utmost respect and highest esteem", and we continue repeating this to the point we arrive in the sanctuary.
     After dressing we proceed directly to the kitchen, remove ten dog biscuits from the jar, and chop them in half to yield a total of twenty pieces. Ten for Linda, and ten for Max. We proceed to the sanctuary, kneel at the altar, explain our goals, and ask for assistance. This includes a request that a squad of nature spirits and elementals be assigned to tutor Linda in recognizing the difference between friend and foe, and sword work to cut Linda free from her fear and all aggressive tendencies. For the final step of our prayer work, we give our Linda Healing Prayer (15x) visualizing her cradled in our arms: "My Beloved God Presence, I Am That I Am, please allow Linda to feel your precious friendship, your precious love, your precious comfort, your precious peace, and your precious healing power. Please bestow upon Linda the intelligence that will enable her to recognize the difference between friend and foe."
     We depart the sanctuary, taking the white hand bell from the altar, proceed into the garage, ring the hand bell, open the main garage door, and walk over to the front gate.
     We ring the hand bell again, open the gate, say good morning to Linda and Max, and walk over to the chain link fence. We feed two biscuits to each dog and give them a pat on the head, in this order, Max, Linda, Max, Linda. We repeat "We love you Linda/Max" as we interact with each dog.
      We then open the gate and pull the two trash barrels outside of the gate, walk back inside the gate, close the gate, and walk over to the chain link fence. We feed two biscuits to each dog and give them a pat on the head, in this order, Max, Linda, Max, Linda. We repeat "We love you Linda/Max" as we interact with each dog. We then open the gate, pull the trash barrels back inside of the gate, close the gate, walk back over to the fence and give each dog two more biscuits and a pat on the head, in this order, Max, Linda, Max, Linda.
     We then open the gate, pull the two trash barrels outside of the gate again, walk back inside the gate, close the gate, and walk over to the chain link fence. We feed two biscuits to each dog and give them a pat on the head, in this order, Max, Linda, Max, Linda. We then open the gate, pull the trash barrels back inside of the gate, close the gate, walk back over to the fence and give each dog two more biscuits and a pat on the head, in this order, Max, Linda, Max, Linda.
     That done, I say "Goodbye, have a nice day", close the gate, ring the hand bell, walk into the garage and close the garage door.
      We then proceed into the kitchen to wash our hands and arms up to the elbow, and into the bedroom to change our clothes.
     In keeping with the idea we had last night, we will now, and we did today, try to keep our attention on St. Germain's "I Am the Light of the Heart" decree over the course of the biscuit feeding ritual: "I am the light of the heart, shining in the darkness of being, changing all into the golden treasury of the mind of Christ. I am projecting my love out into the world, to erase all errors, and to break down all barriers. I am the power of infinite love amplifying itself until it is victorious worlds without end."
     In as much as we are missing the level of contact we had with the heart center in terms of the revelations we have had, clearly cognizant that we are not making much progress in regards to accessing and connecting to the dimensions of reality of the heart that we have been shown, in other words, being made aware of the glory that resides there, but also being aware that we are not experiencing that glory, we have finally reached a level of critical mass, where we find ourself ready to start taking some action to call forth the reality of the heart center in a more direct manner. And this project again provides a useful framework for those calls.
     Linda did not bark at the first ringing of the hand bell while inside of the garage. Linda did not bark at the opening of the garage door. Linda did not bark at the second ringing of the hand bell at the gate. Linda did not bark at the opening of the gate. Linda did not bark as I walked through the gate. Linda let out one bark as I reached over the fence to pet her on the head before proceeding to the biscuit feeding station. Linda did not bark at the first, second, or third movement of the trash barrels.
      Linda did bark at the fourth movement of the trash barrels, but we did something different during the fourth movement, again illustrating that we are still operating within quite a narrow range of tolerance. What we did was place several bags of trash and recyclables into their respective barrels while the barrels were still sitting there in the driveway before we pulled them back inside of the gate. The trash bags were piling up inside of the garage. In terms of the timing of the fourth trash barrel movement, this added some extra time, and made some extra noise which edged Linda out of her zone of toleration. Though while I was placing the bags in the barrels I was talking to Linda, and that seemed to have a mitigating effect on her barking. She was barking continuously when we pulled the trash barrels inside of the gate.
     Nevertheless, the fifth and last biscuit feeding proceeded normally. Once Linda was aware that the program was continuing in a manner she was familiar with, she stopped barking. And after this feeding, which is the end of the ritual, we encouraged Linda to stand up and have her chest rubbed, but first Max and Linda has to wrestle between themselves for awhile. After they were done, Linda responded in a positive manner, giving us three cycles of chest stroking, and happy dog tail wagging. When she had enough she would get down and try to enlist Max in some more play, but he was through playing, he was just sitting there, and Linda would stand up again to have her chest stroked and head patted some more.
     Max was well behaved through the entire biscuit feeding ritual.
     On the subject of actually getting the trash bags into the barrels, we are going to have to figure out how to do that in a predictable manner, and one that is framed by dog biscuit feedings. Perhaps we can accomplish this in the evening, and add it into the compost pile maintenance chores that are also sporadic. The two taken together might produce a sufficient amount of regularity. For the longest time the normal routine was simply to take the trash out the back door, walk around behind the garage, and dump it into the trash barrels on the western side of the garage. But about three years ago, we stopped doing that because Linda's barking was simply too much to take. Taking out the trash had become an emotional ordeal evoking, I have to admit, some very dark thoughts concerning that dog, some of which had a huge brick as a central character. But now that there is some amount of stability established in our relationship, I think that it would be possible to train Linda to accept the process of taking out the trash via the back yard pathway in the same way she has come to accept the movement of the trash barrels in and out of the front gate. We will need to think about this some more.  [c-notes recorded in office]  6/1/2001 Fri.

     If the full body of truth is like unto a field of roses that stretch as far as the eye can see in all directions, the truth contained in the Bible is like unto a single rose petal, on a single rose, on a single rose bush. The rose petal is beautiful, and there is much to be gained by bringing ourself into attunement with that beauty, but we are reminded that more beautiful still is the whole rose to which that single rose petal belongs. And as our perception widens to encompass and ponder the greater beauty of the larger rose, we are reminded that more beautiful still is the rose bush to which that single rose belongs. And as our perception widens to encompass and to ponder the even greater beauty of the whole rose bush, we are reminded even more that more beautiful still are the expansive fields that encompass that rose bush around and about, and filled as far as the eye can see with an endless number of rose bushes displaying roses of every description and variety and color. And as our perception widens to encompass and to ponder the even greater beauty of these endless fields, we are reminded that more beautiful still is the infinite God who plants and tends these fields.  [expanded during transcription]   6/1/2001 Fri.
     And of course, this view has a passage in scripture that will support it. And it is from St. John, 21:25, and it reads as follows:

And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
  6/1/2001 Fri.
     And taking this metaphor a step further, we can say that the rose petal brought by the prophets, and by Jesus, has been placed in the hands of man who have passed it from generation to generation, and it has become rather frayed, ragged, and even stained, over the course of 3000 years, by the blindness (and the less than pure motives) of those who have come into contact with it.  6/1/2001 Fri.
     In other words, the rose petal has always been seen through a glass darkly, as St. Paul said, in I Corinthians, 13:12, "For now we see through a glass darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."  6/1/2001 Fri.
     [begin this with a contextual quote from Nathan Rice] Take all the populations of all nations in recorded history, each person who was born, and who lived a life on this earth for some period of years, and then died, without ever hearing the name of Jesus Christ.
     Then, to this huge number of souls, apply the literal interpretation of St. John 3:13-21:
13: And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14: And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19: And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20: For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21: But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
     And then, to this huge number of souls, apply the literal interpretation of John, chapter 14, verses 5 and 6:
      5: Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
     Does your common sense tell you that it is possible that a God of total love would create so many souls, place them in circumstances where they would never hear the name of Jesus Christ, and then condemn their souls to eternal damnation at the end of one short life?
     Take a look at modern day China for example. There are about 1.2 billion people living in China today. But their cultural situation is such that the great majority will never get beyond the tradition Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, not the mention the state sponsored and enforced Atheism of the Communist Party dictatorship. In one hundred years it is safe to say that every person alive in China today will have died, and the great majority of them will have never heard of nor considered the value of the identity of Jesus Christ. Is a God of total love, total mercy, and total forgiveness, going to condemn those billions of souls to eternal damnation?
     This illustrates the problem with taking scriptural statements at face value, i.e. interpreting them in a literal manner. If literal interpretation flies in the face of common sense, that is a sign that those passages are not to be taken literally, but contain a truth that is beyond the ability of those word forms to convey.
     For the sake of discussion, let's assume that Jesus Christ is the only way to God. When you take what we know about God, and his mercy, and you take this statement by Jesus Christ, if both are true, there must be another mechanism that is operating, that extends mercy to these souls, and gives them another opportunity to come into alignment with the truth.
     If your interpretation does not address and resolve the most obvious contradictions, then it must be flawed. And if it is flawed, the level of certainty you assign to your conclusions is overstated, i.e. excessive, which means that your divine destiny is not as certain as you might think.
     The fundamentalist belief system is dysfunctional in this respect. It is at odd's with the nature of the very God they purport to worship.  6/1/2001 Fri.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom has appeared within the fabric of our awareness on the 5th repetition of (5x) 20.09 I Cast Out the Dweller on the Threshold calls, part of the 20.12, I Ratify the Judgment of Helios, call matrix, (includes 20.07 Judgment calls (5x), 20.09 Dweller calls (5x), .30 Solar Ring calls).  6/1/2001 Fri.
     The fact that Jesus sought knowledge and wisdom from the masters of the far east, challenges the blanket condemnation fundamentalist Christians drape over the entire array of eastern religions.  6/1/2001 Fri.
     The truth of this general viewpoint is illustrated by the fact that if our fundamentalist brothers and sisters reject the truth, the worst that will happen, at least in the short term, is that they will simply find out at the end of this life, during the standard life review, that they have been duped again, and seeing clearly their error at that point, they will cry out for another chance to get it right. On the other hand, if we do not accept their version of the truth, the only possible outcome is that we burn in hell forever. Which outcome is more in line with the merciful nature of God that the Bible speaks so much about?  6/1/2001 Fri.
     If the goal is to honor God in all of our ways, then soul must abandon belief structures that imply, or cast, dispersions upon the good character of God.   6/1/2001 Fri.
     The core of the fundamentalist belief structure is a very intense selfishness, that says, "I'm getting the free ride into heaven that I so desperately desire, and to hell with whatever negative impact my belief structure has on the character of God" (in terms of what that belief structure communicates to other people about the character of God. " I'm gonna get what I want, a free and easy ride into heaven, and I'm not interested in anything else."  6/1/2001 Fri.

     I would very much like to have as a natural and constant part of my consciousness the recognition of how much God deserves to be respected. It is simply not right or natural to walk around in a state of darkness in this regard.  6/2/2001 Sat.
     And of course that is one of the prime reasons we are at the altar for our morning decree service, i.e. to continue the process of consuming, and transmuting the substance of human blindness that yet shrouds our consciousness.  6/2/2001 Sat.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace, freedom, and paradise appears within the fabric of our awareness at the 5th repetition of (5x) Tubes of Light, expanded to (7x) repetitions, at a level of (5) to (6) to (7), with a distinct glow, with visual properties in terms of the qualities of paradise and brightness, at the 3rd eye chakra area.  6/2/2001 Sat.
     Fundamentalist theology places the point of personal divine relevance, the point of personal fruition, the point where the soul expects to reap the harvest, out into an abstract future in terms of being saved for eternal life in paradise, rather than in the moment, in terms of the great challenge of anchoring the reality of eternal paradise within the chalice of being in the here and now. This is the essence of what makes it a false teaching, placing the harvest period off into a future that lies beyond the grave.  6/2/2001 Sat.
     In terms of Islamic fundamentalists for example, especially of the terrorist variety, this allows them to justify their anger in the present, allowing them to inflict the most outlandish terrors upon their enemies, thinking that they serve God, but here, God is only in their imagination, in some distant and abstract conception of paradise.   6/2/2001 Sat.
      I haven't read the book yet, but I heard the author talk about it on the 700 Club, and he is a very inspiring person, The Hidden Face of God: How science reveals the ultimate truth, by Gerald L. Schroeder, Ph. D.. But he wears a skull cap that marks him as member of the Jewish faith I believe. And we are just wondering if the fundamentalist mindset is capable of grasping the paradox they have created when they send this man to eternal damnation because he does not accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, but who nevertheless wrote what sounds like a very good book illustrating how science is uncovering evidence of the reality of God, and thereby striking a powerful blow against the Darwin's theory of evolution.  6/2/2001 Sat.
     In as much as the human ego resists any and all change into the divine, this propensity to place the point of personal harvest, in terms of divine treasure, is a natural and logical expression of this resistance. And therefore, what we see on the path of initiation, is that when first enter the path, because of this resistance to change that is present within the very structure of the synthetic identity, the point of personal harvest is placed into an abstract future. But as we progress on the path, and the substance of the synthetic identity is incrementally consumed, the soul becomes progressively more able to conceive of the possibility that the soul can receive the personal harvest in the here and now. An example of this is my own expectation that we will achieve, that we must achieve, an awareness of how much God deserves my respect on a constant basis, and the sooner the better.  6/2/2001 Sat.
     The phrase we were looking for the other day to describe the core of the fundamentalist conception of scripture is the desire to "save their own skin." This is not a noble virtue.   6/2/2001 Sat.
     It is no more, nor less than the survival instinct of the carnal nature, which conceives of a guarantee of eternal life for itself, and clings to that guarantee ferociously, like a dog clings to a bone, and refuses, utterly rejects, the mandate for change in the here and now, because, for the carnal nature, change means death.  6/2/2001 Sat.
     Jesus Christ as the archetype of what God intends every soul to become, the general outline of the divine identity which every soul is expected and required to fill in.  6/2/2001 Sat.
     Homosexuality represents an absolute refusal to have intimate contact with woman, and behind that refusal is a deep hatred of the divine mother.  6/2/2001 Sat.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness about 12 minutes into our 30 minute period of violet flame decrees, at a level of (3) to (4) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity.  6/2/2001 Sat.
     We are considering the number 10^28 (move the decimal point 28 positions to the right) representing the approximate number of atoms which make up the human body, and we marveling at the life systems, composed of atoms themselves, which mold and shape atomic material into living tissue, bones, organs, etc. We are trying to grasp, to get a hold of that force of life which provides the organizing principle, and the power of organizational itself, that allows this huge mass of atoms to be organized into a living creature of the most amazing complexity, and then to serve as a vehicle of a self aware identity to which is passed control over the movement and operation of that vehicle. Simply amazing. Certainly there is reason enough here to live constantly within the posture of respect, esteem, and honor unto God.  6/2/2001 Sat.
     By the end of our 30 minute period of violet flame decrees, we are immersed in the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom, with a quality of brightness to it, at a level of (6) to (7) to (8) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity.  6/2/2001 Sat.
     The Sun is at approximately 12 degrees Gemini, and the Moon is at approximately 4 degrees Scorpio. We note the presence of a mental block which has caused us to miss completely the transit of the Moon through Libra. The objective here is simple observation. You cannot observe if you are not aware of the sign the Moon is in.   6/2/2001 Sat.

We then open the gate, pull the trash barrels back inside of the gate, close the gate, walk back over to the fence and give each dog two more biscuits and a pat on the head, in this order, Max, Linda, Max, Linda.
     We then open the gate, pull the two trash barrels outside of the gate again, walk back inside the gate, close the gate, and walk over to the chain link fence. We feed two biscuits to each dog and give them a pat on the head, in this order, Max, Linda, Max, Linda. We then open the gate, pull the trash barrels back inside of the gate, close the gate, walk back over to the fence and give each dog two more biscuits and a pat on the head, in this order, Max, Linda, Max, Linda.
     We then encourage some play time designed to get Linda to stand up against the fence to have her chest stroked and head patted, and her paws shaken.

     That done, I say "Goodbye, have a nice day", close the gate, ring the hand bell, walk into the garage and close the garage door.
      We then proceed into the kitchen to wash our hands and arms up to the elbow, and into the bedroom to change our clothes.
     (While we are actually engaged in moving the trash barrels outside of the gate, and back inside the gate, we give St. Germain's "I Am the Light of the Heart" decree: "I am the light of the heart, shining in the darkness of being, changing all into the golden treasury of the mind of Christ. I am projecting my love out into the world, to erase all errors, and to break down all barriers. I am the power of infinite love amplifying itself until it is victorious worlds without end.")
     As we give our prayers in the sanctuary we hear Linda barking at something, so this means that we will find her already inside of her "barking compartment". And so it was, that when we rang the hand bell while still inside of the garage, Linda started to bark immediately. Linda continued to bark as we opened the garage door, walked over to the gate, rang the hand bell at the gate, opened the gate. As we walked over to the fence we made it a point, even though Linda is barking, to reach over and pat Linda on the head, this as an initial greeting, then we proceeded to the biscuit feeding station.
     Both dogs were quite hyperactive today. It took me a while to settle Max down so he would get into his biscuit eating mode. Nevertheless, he was well behaved during the entire biscuit feeding ritual.
     Linda was in an eager mode today. When it was her turn, she stood up against the fence ready for her biscuit, before I got the biscuit out of my pocket, for both biscuits during both the first and second biscuit feedings, for a total of four times. For both biscuits during the third biscuit feeding, she did not stand up until she saw the biscuit at the top of the fence. On the fourth biscuit feeding, for her first biscuit she stood up before I got the biscuit out of my pocket, and I took that opportunity to pet her and grab her paws in the same manner that we do with Max, but still, we can feel her pulling away, so we can see that it is still too early for us to try that. Then, on the second biscuit, she would not stand up until she saw the biscuit at the top of the fence. On the fifth biscuit feeding, for both biscuits, she would not stand up until she saw the biscuit. So, out of ten biscuits, she stood up for her biscuit before I got it out of my pocket on a total of five occasions.
     But this eagerness did have a drawback. On the first movement of the trash barrels she barked. And she barked on the second movement of the trash barrels as well. Linda did not bark on the third and fourth movement of the trash barrels.
     At the end of the ritual, when we encourage some play activity, Linda stood up to have her chest stroked on about three occasions.
     We have added a couple of new items to the ritual outline above. The play period at the end of the ritual is now a regular feature, so we added that to the outline. And we are now using St. Germain's "I Am the Light of the Heart" decree during the time we are actually engaged in the movement of the trash barrels.  [c-notes recorded in office]  6/2/2001 Sat.
     In regards to our June 1, 2001, statement on the value of the free enterprise system, I feel constrained to point out that the free enterprise system is an absolute prerequisite for the establishment of a golden age culture, one in which social, economic, and political activity is consciously intertwined with the soul's quest for personal communion with God. But while free enterprise is a prerequisite for a culture wide return to the kingdom of heaven, free enterprise economics by itself is no guarantee that a culture will evolve in the direction of heavenly precepts, especially as our mass media and entertainment industries so aptly illustrates. For example, economic activity in the United States has grown substantially since the 1950's, yet the culture overall has become far more coarse, far more violent, and far more irreverent than what existed during earlier decades. One could rightfully draw the conclusion from this that the free enterprise system, if not used by the people in a responsible manner --- if not yoked to the will of God in a conscious and deliberate manner --- will cause a melt down in the culture, and that is what is happening all around us. [c-notes recorded in office]  6/2/2001 Sat.

     The presence of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness during our opening statements, at a level of (1) to (2) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity. The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom expanded to a level (3) to (4) on the 5th repetition of (12x) Tubes of Light. By the 12th repetition the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom had expanded to a level (5) to (6).  6/2/2001 Sat.
     Linda is barking a little bit here, and we are reminded that before we began the Linda Healing Project, some 76 days ago, her barks would enter into my feeling world with substantial force, like an arrow, causing waves of irritation to ripple through my emotional body. I must observe that we have overcome that (almost) completely. We don't like it when Linda barks, but we accept the fact that in the moment, we can do nothing about it, and that in the long run, through our daily efforts, God will give us the victory in regards to all of Linda's barking. So, on the one hand there is nothing to get upset about in the moment, and there exists great promise and hope for the future. This is enough to keep our feeling world stable when she barks.  6/2/2001 Sat.
     At the onset of our (12x) 30.08, Covenant of the Magi calls, the glow of the sacred fire of peace, and freedom, appears within the fabric of our awareness at a level of (3) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity, with the quality of brightness intimated. By the 5th repetition the glow of the sacred fire expanded to a level (6) to (7), again with the strong intimation of brightness, and this level remained constant through to the 12th repetition. (The intimation of brightness is not a visual phenomena, but a knowledge phenomena for want of a better word. It is perceived, i.e. registered upon our awareness in a manner other than visual.  6/2/2001 Sat.
     At the 30th repetition of our (45x) Michaels, we found ourself totally immersed in the glow of the sacred fire of peace, freedom, and paradise, at a level of (6) to (7), but there was another very interesting quality to this presence that could be described perhaps as a great joyful anticipation of some glorious outcome. This came to the forefront of our awareness just after a short episode of Linda barking, and we simply visualized Linda engulfed in and caressed by lots of rose petals, and she stopped barking.   6/2/2001 Sat.
     The glow of the sacred fire of crystal peace, freedom, and paradise appears within the fabric of our awareness at the 3rd eye chakra area, at the 2nd repetition of (5x) 20.07 Judgment calls, at a level of (4) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity, expanding to a level (6) to (7) by the 5th repetition.  6/2/2001 Sat.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appeared within the fabric of our awareness at a level of (4) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity, on the 13th repetition of (50x) Cyclopeas. By the 50th repetition we are immersed in a sacred fire glow at a level of (6) to (7).  6/2/2001 Sat.

     We exhibited a greater determination in the giving of our "I Am the Light of the Heart" calls during each trash barrel movement during the dog biscuit feeding ritual, consciously moving against, and pushing aside a looming counterforce of skepticism. We were able to carry that through into the period between the end of the biscuit feeding ritual, and the point where we arrive in the sanctuary for our a.m. decree work.   6/3/2001 Sun.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness at the very end of our 15 minute period of I Am Light decrees, at a level of (4) to (5) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity.  6/3/2001 Sun.
     The of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appeared within the fabric of our awareness, at the 3rd eye chakra area about one and a half minutes into our 30 minute period of violet flame decrees, at a level of (5) to (6) to (7) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity.  6/3/2001 Sun.
     In regards to the profile of the monkey head in the Chart of the Presence, the church could design, produce, and issue a retrofit image of the mountain only, so that Keepers of the Flame cold tape the new image over the old image without having to replace the whole chart. This would be far less expensive overall. In the mean time the image can be covered over by a blank piece of paper, or perhaps a photograph of the Grand Tetons.   6/3/2001 Sun.
     During the preparatory prayers to this (5x) set of Hail Marys, we see that we are immersed in, and an integral part of, the ocean of reality that is God.  6/3/2001 Sun.
     I should mention also that during the latter half of our 30 minute period of violet flame decrees, we were quite content with the idea that our decree effort was contributing to the freedom of planet earth, and that there simply was not anything more important that you could be doing. This amounted to a more unified state of being in which we could focus more of our being on this work, because there was not part of me that was thinking about, or desiring to be, someplace else or doing something else.  6/3/2001 Sun.
     The Sun is at approximately 13 degrees Gemini, and the Moon is at approximately 17 degrees Scorpio.  6/3/2001 Sun.

     During our cosmic clock prayers (using the information brought up by the cosmic clock calculator at the beginning of this work period), during the request to Cyclopea to help us to identify and understand the tests given under the Scorpio hierarchy of God-Vision, we can see that idolatry is defined as any state of consciousness that does not have the reality of God at the center of it, wherein the energies of the awareness are not streaming forth in God's direction in the form of praise, adoration, wonder and gratitude. Of course as we have noted before, when the reality of God does enter onto the radar screen of the soul's awareness, the streams of praise and adoration flow naturally. Therefore, we are confronted again with the fact that the human awareness is by definition idolatrous, and all the time we spend within the confines of the human awareness, we are automatically in a state of idolatry. What comes up in the background of our awareness here are the memories of people accusing other people of being in a state of idolatry. Well, Duh. What a ridiculous accusation to make of anyone who is walking the path of initiation. In terms of the average person, it is safe to say that by definition they will spend the greatest amount of their time in a state of idolatry. Though we might observe that as the years and decades of violet flame invocation roll by, the density of the idolatrous consciousness grows less and less. Newcomers on the path will always be in a very dense state of idolatry, and there is nothing at all they can do about it, but patiently invoke the violet flame year by year to consume it. Those who have been on the path for 20 years or more, and I am using myself as a standard here, become even more aware of how much time they do not spend in a keen state of awareness of the reality of God, and therefore, how much time they yet still spend in a state of idolatry. So longevity on the path in this regard at least, bestows upon the soul a keen awareness of how much more progress the soul must make. It's like being on the mountain for many many years, and having the blizzard of human nonsense blowing all around you for most of that journey, and for a moment the blizzard lifts, and for that moment you can see the summit, and taking inventory of your past journey, thinking that such time and effort ought to have brought you much closer, you are genuinely surprised to see the great distance that yet lies between you and your destination. But this is no reason to beat up on ourselves, in as much as you can't wish away this condition. You can only keep on keeping on invoking the violet flame day by day, and there will come a day that the soul will be able to spend much more time within the awareness of the reality of God, than not, and I am sure at that point, the tests under the Scorpio hierarchy will become the more relevant. [c-notes recorded in office]  6/3/2001 Sun.
     This is day #161 of the revelation within my very own heart center of the strength of many mountains, and #159 of the golden portal of the heart and the many divine cities revealed therein, and #155 of the many many fires of celebration of the glory of God, and #120 of the nourishment of God's glory spread abroad across the entire planetary body, and #111 of the garden paradise of the heart, the place where divine friends meet, where the word "cherish" describes every relationship, and #90 of the personal closeness of my very own beloved God Presence, and #82 of my very own beloved God Presence as the presence of paradise, and #69 of the heart as home, and #53 of the flaming garment of praise and adoration, encrusted with thousands of jewels of divine perception, and #49 of the sacred presence of our Father/Mother God throughout all space, and #43 of God as the center of Life, and #36 of God as our very own beloved Oasis deserving of my utmost respect, and #30 of God deserving to be honored at all times and under all circumstances, and #29 of the passion of the heart for the victory of God's will through the science of the spoken word, and #27 of the great power and treasure of the heart center, and day #20 of the great compassion of our own beloved God Presence, and day #13 of the power of love, and of God's total identity as love.  [c-notes recorded in office]  6/3/2001 Sun.
          This is the 77th consecutive day of the Linda Healing Project.
Ritual outline: We begin repeating our victory thoughtform the minute we wake up, "God deserves my utmost respect and highest esteem", and we continue repeating this to the point we arrive in the sanctuary.
     After dressing we proceed directly to the kitchen, remove ten dog biscuits from the jar, and chop them in half to yield a total of twenty pieces. Ten for Linda, and ten for Max. We proceed to the sanctuary, kneel at the altar, explain our goals, and ask for assistance. This includes a request that a squad of nature spirits and elementals be assigned to tutor Linda in recognizing the difference between friend and foe, and sword work to cut Linda free from her fear and all aggressive tendencies. For the final step of our prayer work, we give our Linda Healing Prayer (15x) visualizing her cradled in our arms: "My Beloved God Presence, I Am That I Am, please allow Linda to feel your precious friendship, your precious love, your precious comfort, your precious peace, and your precious healing power. Please bestow upon Linda the intelligence that will enable her to recognize the difference between friend and foe."
     We depart the sanctuary, taking the white hand bell from the altar, proceed into the garage, ring the hand bell, open the main garage door, and walk over to the front gate.
     We ring the hand bell again, open the gate, say good morning to Linda and Max, and walk over to the chain link fence. We feed two biscuits to each dog and give them a pat on the head, in this order, Max, Linda, Max, Linda. We repeat "We love you Linda/Max" as we interact with each dog.
      We then open the gate and pull the two trash barrels outside of the gate, walk back inside the gate, close the gate, and walk over to the chain link fence. We feed two biscuits to each dog and give them a pat on the head, in this order, Max, Linda, Max, Linda. We repeat "We love you Linda/Max" as we interact with each dog. We then open the gate, pull the trash barrels back inside of the gate, close the gate, walk back over to the fence and give each dog two more biscuits and a pat on the head, in this order, Max, Linda, Max, Linda.
     We then open the gate, pull the two trash barrels outside of the gate again, walk back inside the gate, close the gate, and walk over to the chain link fence. We feed two biscuits to each dog and give them a pat on the head, in this order, Max, Linda, Max, Linda. We then open the gate, pull the trash barrels back inside of the gate, close the gate, walk back over to the fence and give each dog two more biscuits and a pat on the head, in this order, Max, Linda, Max, Linda.
     We then encourage some play time designed to get Linda to stand up against the fence to have her chest stroked and head patted, and her paws shaken.
     That done, I say "Goodbye, have a nice day", close the gate, ring the hand bell, walk into the garage and close the garage door.
      We then proceed into the kitchen to wash our hands and arms up to the elbow, and into the bedroom to change our clothes.
     (While we are actually engaged in moving the trash barrels outside of the gate, and back inside the gate, we give St. Germain's "I Am the Light of the Heart" decree: "I am the light of the heart, shining in the darkness of being, changing all into the golden treasury of the mind of Christ. I am projecting my love out into the world, to erase all errors, and to break down all barriers. I am the power of infinite love amplifying itself until it is victorious worlds without end.")
     Linda did not bark at the ringing of the hand bell inside of the garage. Linda did not bark at the opening of the garage door. Linda did not bark at the second ringing of the hand bell at the gate. Linda did not bark at the opening of the gate. Linda did not bark at me walking through the gate. When I stopped by the fence near the dog house where Linda was now standing up against the fence, when I reached over to pet her, she barked once at that point, though she let me pet her. And when I walked over to the biscuit feeding station she barked once there as we began. Beyond that, Linda did not bark at any of the movement of the trash barrels today, not the first, not the second, not the third, and not the fourth.
     Linda's behavior pattern during biscuit feeding was consistent today. She was at the mid-point between reluctance, and eagerness, where she would not stand up to get her biscuit until she saw the biscuit in my hand at the top of the fence. Though her behavior was slightly waited to the reluctant side because on two occasions I had to reach over the fence and extend the biscuit somewhat before she got the idea, but I did not have to reach all the way over. Maybe about 25% of the distance that I associate with complete reluctance where we have reach all the way over and wave the biscuit in front of her nose.
     Max was well behaved during the whole of the biscuit feeding ritual.
     At the end of the ritual we again encouraged a play period, and Linda wants to play some with Max before I can encourage her to stand up and have her chest stroked. Linda stood up to have her chest stroked and head patted on two occasions during this period. Today we started the ritual somewhat into the afternoon, having slept in late, and Linda and Max appear to have been fed their breakfast, so we must factor this in with the general lack of enthusiasm that Linda is exhibiting. [c-notes recorded in office]  6/3/2001 Sun.
p.m. decree service in sanctuary
     Bringing to mind the definition of idolatry that we brought forth earlier, we can see that one can engage in decree work from within the idolatrous consciousness, i.e. with the mind and attention focused on something other than God. All the more reason to strive to focus on our victory thoughtform while the decree goes forth, i.e "God deserves my utmost respect and highest esteem." This thoughtform is a sword driven into the thick idolatrous hide of the carnal mind.  6/3/2001 Sun.
     This insight came to us while we are in the midst of our Michaels, observing in the foreground the state of mind that is not registering the Reality of God, but at the same time there is a part of me that is aware that God is, right at this very moment, as glorious as God ever was, whether or not you can see it. That's what we are focusing on, this assurance, that appears to emanate from the heart, that tells me that the wonder of God is alive and well.  6/3/2001 Sun.
     The first glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom, and paradise, appears within the fabric of our awareness on the 22nd repetition of (45x) Michaels, at the 3rd eye chakra area, at a level of (4) to (5) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity. At about the 30th repetition, the glow of the sacred fire of peace, freedom, and paradise, with the emphasis on paradise, expanded to a level (6) to (7) and remained at that level through the remaining 15 repetitions.  6/3/2001 Sun.
     As we contemplated this presence of paradise, we are thinking that the awareness of this quality of paradise must qualify at some level as pure God Vision, in as much as the only think your attention is on is this wondrous presence, and that moreover, this has got to be the opposite of idolatry, in as much as all of our appreciation and attention is directed into the presence of this divine power. I think it is fair to say that when the glow of the sacred fire is present within the fabric of our awareness, tat during those periods of time, you can be certain you are not in a state of idolatry.  6/3/2001 Sun.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness on the 1st of (5x) 20.07 Judgment calls, part of 20.12, I Ratify the Judgment of Helios, call matrix, (includes 20.07 Judgment calls (5x), 20.09 Dweller calls (5x), .30 Solar Ring calls), at a level of (5) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity.  6/3/2001 Sun.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace, freedom, and paradise, appears within the fabric of our awareness, with an emphasis on the 3rd eye chakra area, at a level of (5) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity, on the 1st repetition of (3x) Tubes of Light (part of the .30 Solar Ring section of the 20.12 decree matrix), expanding to a level of (6) to (7) by the 3rd repetition.  6/3/2001 Sun.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace, freedom, and paradise, emerges within the fabric of our awareness, with an emphasis on both the 3rd eye chakra area, and the crown chakra area, with the greater emphasis on the crown chakra area, on the 10th repetition of (50x) Cyclopeas, at a level of (6) to (7) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity.  6/3/2001 Sun.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace, freedom, and paradise, emerges within the fabric of our awareness, with an emphasis on the 3rd eye chakra area, at a level of (5) to (6) to (7) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity, midway through the 2nd of 4 pages of the 56.02, Right Hand of the Cosmic Virgin, judgment call matrix.  6/3/2001 Sun.
     We leave this service with the impression that you could have no better friends than the ascended masters, and what a wonderful thing it would be, to be in the very midst of that friendship.  6/3/2001 Sun.
