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

| a.m. decrees in
sanctuary |
 "It's very very
important for you to work constantly and conscientiously for the victory of God's will". We
repeated this over and over from the point we got out of bed to the time we arrived in the
sanctuary, about ten minutes. A very interesting meditation on the meaning of this statement
juxtaposed to the heavy grogginess and desire to go back to bed. 3/4/2001 Sun. |  |
| The presence of the sacred fire of peace
and
freedom emerges within the fabric of our awareness on the 2nd of (3x) Tubes of
Light. 3/4/2001 Sun. |
| During our 15 minutes of Helios and Vesta
calls, we had good success focusing on the victory of God's will, claiming the right to do this over
the many faceted objections which rise out of the substrate of the carnal mind, and I can do this
because I know that God's will is beautiful beyond belief. At ten minutes into the call, a
glow of sacred fire appears in our 3rd eye chakra area. 3/4/2001
Sun. | |
| About 6 minutes into our 15 minutes of
Kuthumi's I Am Light calls, a glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears in our 3rd eye
chakra area. 3/4/2001 Sun. |
| I wanted to note that during the 15 minutes
of
I Am Light calls, we have again resolved that conflict between two powerful priorities, in favor of
giving top priority to transcribing journal entries for our footprints project before we do any other
work. We have before us today a 2 hour slot of time, and we are being accosted with this tugging
and nagging desire to use that time to work on footprint file formatting tasks in order to speed
things along and to get files posted to the website. But we have to say no to that. There will
always be something like that competing for those time slots, and we have already decided to make
this transcription work top priority, to achieve the goal of keeping current on that aspect of the
work, (and to train myself to do that over an extended period of time), and only then use whatever
free tie we have beyond that to work on other formatting issues and web site administration issues.
This will delay the posting of the work that we have already transcribed but cannot post because it
has not been formatted, but the priority is to build that unbreakable habit pattern of keeping
current on transcriptions. 3/4/2001 Sun. | |
| The glow of sacred fire peace and freedom
appears within the fabric of our awareness about 21 minutes into our 30 minute violet flame
session. 3/4/2001 Sun. |
| The definition of "judgment" in regards to
the
prohibition against "criticism, condemnation, and judgment", i.e. more commonly known as
"CCJ", is that which tends to paint the total character of the individual in a negative light. Or shall
we say, that which denies the larger divine self which that individual is destined to become. The
term "judgment" in this regard cannot be separated from the term "condemnation", nor can the
word "criticism" be separated from the term "condemnation." Therefore, any statement intended
to point out a shortcoming for the purpose of helping a person become more of their divine
identity, can never be considered as meeting the definition of CCJ. In my experience the
term "CCJ" is hurled far too often as a defense mechanism of the synthetic self when confronted
with a genuine rebuke concerning some pattern of behavior that is clearly contrary to the
Teachings. In fact, "CCJ" itself is actually hurled as an epitaph in the very spirit of criticism,
condemnation, and judgment, to paint the person bringing the unwanted message, as a bad person,
in order to discredit that person, i.e. to discredit the one who has delivered the rebuke.
3/4/2001 Sun. | |
| At the beginning of the violet flame
session,
i.e. at the end of the violet flame preamble, just before the calls begin, where we say our
effectiveness prayers, "I Am placing one hand in the hand of Beloved Jesus, and the other hand in
the hand of Beloved St. Germain, and I Am asking you to please help me to give these calls in the
most effective possible manner, to bring about the greatest possible clearance of all obstacles that
oppose my soul's full realization of God's infinite love for me personally, and all obstacles that
oppose the full victory of God's will throughout my entire consciousness, being and world," we
added "and all obstacles that oppose our total immersion in the desire for the victory of God's
will" and as that statement was repeated over and over, we received that blessed feedback
concerning the value and beauty of God's will and the value of the effort to become totally
immersed in it. Thus, the concept "total immersion" has become part of our victory thoughtform
thus: total immersion, one purpose, one desire, the victory of God's will. And we had some
success focusing on this over the course of the 30 minute violet flame session. 3/4/2001 Sun. |

| "It is very very important for you
to work constantly and conscientiously for the victory of God's will." We repeated this over and
over as we washed the dishes from last night and waited for the water to boil for our tea. It made
the dish washing chore a very enjoyable task, with the affirmation producing a feedback within the
fabric of our awareness concerning the value of God's will. [notes recorded in
office]. 3/4/2001 Sun. |
| As we record this interesting experience
we
had during our 30.08 Covenant of the Magi Calls for
3-3-2001, we want to make note of another good reason for making the effort to stay up to date
with our footprint transcriptions, and that is that the experiences will be fresh in your memory, and
you will be able to fill in and smooth out the descriptions in the process of transcription, something
that is not possible when you allow too much time to lapse in between a particular experience and
the time you transcribe your notes. [c-notes recorded in office]. 3/4/2001 Sun. | |
| In regards to this statement made on
3-3-2001:
"When the sacred fire is not aglow within the fabric
of awareness, there is no updraft, there is no energy flowing from below into the sacred fire portal,
or interface, and thus there is no return current to carry the divine knowledge of the beauty of
God's will back to the soul." I believe that it is important to understand that the presence of the
sacred fire in the fabric of awareness is a signal that the energies of the soul, in the process of
making the call, have been translated upwards into a region where it is now capable of receiving
the return current from the God Presence and the Masters, in the form of direct divine knowledge,
in this case the knowledge of the beauty of God's will. I believe that it is becoming quite apparent
that whenever we enter into the sanctuary we are entering into this upward translation process.
We always begin the process at some level of the astral, which accounts of the initial darkness and
heaviness that greets us not only at the beginning of each decree service, but at the beginning of
each decree matrix, as the next level of electronic belt substance (both personal and planetary) is
released into the framework of consciousness for transmutation. [c-notes recorded in
office]. 3/4/2001 Sun. |
| p.m. decree service in
sanctuary |
The sacred
fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness at the 3rd repetition of (5x)
Tubes of Light. We entered into this decree service with that downward pressure on our spine,
and of course our mind devoid of any divine reality, so I am very relieved to be able to greet this
appearance of the sacred fire. 3/4/2001 Sun. | |
| We are now marveling at how solidly the
blessed updraft of the sacred fire has permeated our awareness so early in this service. And the
fact that this was to be an abbreviated service makes it all the more special. 3/4/2001 Sun. |
| The forcefield of blessed delight holds
throughout our 30.08 Covenant of the Magi calls (3x). 3/4/2001
Sun. | |
| The image of the golden statue of Mother
Mary comes to mind as we give our next set of (3x) Hail Marys. We have had the photo of this
statue hanging on a wall in the sanctuary for many years, but we have never had it appear inside of
our mind before. This is a most blessed gift, and a comforting gift. 3/4/2001 Sun. |
| The forcefield of blessed delight holds
through our (45x) Michael calls. We made some effort to focus on the victory of God's will, but I
have to admit that I spent most of the Michael decree matrix feeling good about this presence of
sacred fire, and contemplating the golden image of Mother Mary. 3/4/2001 Sun. | |
| I wanted to note that we are again up to
date
on our footprint transcriptions, having worked almost 3 hours on those transcriptions today, and
that we had some extra time to work on the footprint formatting and page design issues,
specifically, adding javascript enabled links to the chart of the presence, and to a background info
file. We created both of those two pages as well. The links to those pages appear in the block of
explanatory text that is located just below the "Footprints on the Mountain" title area at the top of
each page. The links open new windows of fixed size and predetermined position via a javascript
function embedded in the page. 3/4/2001 Sun. |
| A new dimension of freedom and peace
appears within the fabric of our awareness during the next set of (15) Hail
Mary's. 3/4/2001 Sun. | |
| A very bright glow of the sacred fire of
peace
and freedom appears in our 3rd eye area about 3 minutes into our 15 minute violet flame session.
The delight of this sacred fire glow stays with us throughout the 15 minute session. We made
several Herculean efforts to focus on the victory of God's will over the course of this session,
experiencing a great amount of happiness in simply having the opportunity to make the effort, and
I think we have achieved a new dimension of success during these efforts. With each leap, we
were leaving the world behind, fully cognizant that the totality of my divine happiness lies in that
direction, i.e. the victory of God's will, and that there was nothing behind me, in terms of my
lower self, that was of any value whatsoever. 3/4/2001
Sun. |
| Of course, it is a big lie, that there can be
any
value at all to being apart from God. 3/4/2001 Sun. | |
| A new dimension of the sacred fire of
freedom, and peace, and crystal tranquility, emerges within the fabric of our awareness during the
next set of (15x) Hail Marys. 3/4/2001 Sun. |
| And a new presence of sacred fire peace
blossoms within our awareness as we enter into our 20.12, I Ratify the Judgment of Helios, call
matrix, and this appears before we even get to the 20.07 Judgment call section. This has a
glorious tangibility to it, almost a fragrance, reminds me of the fragrance of the yellow lupines that
we used to pick alongside the road in the Santa Monica Mountains. 3/4/2001 Sun. | |
| During the 20.07 Judgment call section
(5x),
we are embraced and permeated by an even stronger forcefield of blessedness. I am thinking, as I
give the calls, that it would not be possible to be the recipient of a greater blessing than this. The
intense glow of sacred fire peace, and brightness, brightness, brightness, continues on through the
20.09 I Cast Out the Dweller call section (6x), and through the .30 Solar Ring section, and on to
the end. 3/4/2001 Sun. |
| Even though the glow of sacred fire delight
continues with us into our Cyclopeas (50x), we were nevertheless being tugged at and tugged at by
this nagging worry and concern about when the Cyclopea session would be over. "Is it over yet?"
No, not yet. "Is it over yet?" No, not yet. "Is it over yet?" No, not yet. And tug, tug, tug,
through the first 20-25 repetitions of the call. And finally, I thought to myself, that this was really
odd, given the stability of this sacred fire glow in our 3rd eye chakra area, and suffused throughout
our mind generally, we wondered why there was any kind of worry at all about when the session
would be over. In fact, as I focused on it, the truth of the matter is that this is probably the most
important call matrix that you can give, (well, apart from violet flames, Michaels, and Judgment
calls), given what you have learned about the importance of vision, and given all that you have
seen of divine reality, and when these facts came before me, my desire body suddenly came into
alignment with that realization. Swoosh! And we were able to proceed forward from the point
forward with our desire body focused only on the value of the calls to Cyclopea, having arranged
around the circumference of awareness the memory of the beautiful things we have seen
concerning the value of God's will. In other words, we were able to proceed forward energized
with a new spirit of all encompassing appreciation. And after that there was no more nagging, and
we gave the calls in peace, and an even greater glow of sacred delight emerged in our 3rd eye
chakra, repetitions 25-50. 3/4/2001 Sun. | |
| The most blessedly deep ocean of peace
and quietness descended upon us as we complete our last set of (15) Hail Marys. Thank
you. 3/4/2001 Sun. |
| That was a very blessed decree
service. 3/4/2001 Sun. | |
Daily Prayers in the U.S. House
March 5,
2001 | Daily Prayers in the U.S. Senate
March 5, 2001 | The
Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following prayer:
Lord God, in turbulent times, You have called forth people like Isaias
and given them vision. They walked in the eye of the hurricane because they were surrounded by
Your spirit of peace. Raise up, in our own day, men and women, young and old, from across this
Nation, who see the essentials of required justice and who boldly outline the path to secure
economic liberty for all Your people.
Lord God, in peaceful times, You call forth prophetic leaders who will
shake off indifference and temerity that the best of a nation and its historic treasuries will not be
lost. Then the song of gratitude in hearts of the aged and the dreams of children playing in the
streets will be heard again.
For You, Lord of life, renew us in faith and moral values each day. Give
us Your perspective on daily tasks and every decision now and forever. Amen. | The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following
prayer:
Dear God, with gratitude, we remember that it was 136 years ago, on
March 3, that Congress approved Treasury Secretary Solomon P. Chase's instruction to the United
States Mint to inscribe coins with the new motto, ``In God We Trust.'' We see this motto every
day on the wall of this Senate Chamber. We pray that it will be the daily, hourly expression of our
dependence on You. We place absolute and undoubting trust in You, Your love, Your providential
care, and Your justice and mercy. We have a
great need for You, Almighty God, and You are a great God for our needs. You are our Lord and
Saviour. Amen. |

| a.m. decree service in
sanctuary |
"It is very important for you to work
constantly and
conscientiously for the victory of God's will." We were able to repeat this over and over from the
point we got out of bed to the point we entered the sanctuary, about ten minutes. Again, the
affirmation stands in sharp contrast to our state of mind, which is the full embodiment of the desire
to go back to bed. A very limited cavern of consciousness that wants to grow even smaller and
smaller. 3/5/2001 Mon. |
| As I stand before the altar, I am amazed,
or
perhaps chagrined is a better characterization, at how far away, how different, our state of
consciousness is at this point, as compared to what it was when we left the altar last night. At least
we are cognizant of the difference. 3/5/2001 Mon. | |
| Our world lightened up considerably after
15
minutes of Helios and Vesta calls. 3/5/2001 Mon. |
| About five minutes into Kuthumi's I Am
Light calls, the first "real" thought that enters the mind is the idea, and feeling of appreciation, for
the opportunity to be of assistance to Beloved Kuthumi in his healing mission which encompasses
the entire earth. 3/5/2001 Mon. | |
| A faint glow of sacred fire appears around
the
periphery of our awareness at about 8 minutes into our 15 minutes of I Am Light
calls. 3/5/2001 Mon. |
| The glow of the sacred fire of peace and
freedom appears solidly in our 3rd eye chakra area about 4 minutes into our 30 minute violet flame
session. This blessed glow stays with us throughout the session, and intensifies at about 25
minutes into the session, giving us the distinct sensation that we were like unto an angel deva
seated cozily at the center of a fragrant flower. The fragrance being analogous to the blessed flow
of sacred fire that permeates us through and through, and hangs in the air all around
us. 3/5/2001 Mon. | |
| We leave the sanctuary this a.m. in very
much
of the same blessed glow of sacred fire as we experienced during our decree service last
night. 3/5/2001 Mon. |
| The sacred fire of peace and freedom
appears
within the fabric of awareness during our opening statements at that point where we call for the
assimilation of all the Light released by the Ascended Masters in those dictations for which I have
been personally present, and those that I have both heard and read. Now in regards to this
experience we must say that the carnal mind is like unto a desert. And the soul is trapped in the
very geometry of that desert. In other words, the soul does not get to walk around on the surface
of the desert, but is trapped inside the dry dirt and rocks. It might feel the snakes slithering, and the
lizards scurrying across the surface, but the soul always remains embedded with the sultry heat of
atoms and electrons that know only thirst, experiencing only the parched sensation of inestimable
dryness. Ok. So the lizards dig into the ground and lay their eggs, and the soul experiences this as
some kind of a good idea, but the eggs hatch and the new little lizards emerge, and they leave to
tromp around the surface with their kin. Now, the appearance of the sacred fire is like unto the
emergence of many springs of sparkling crystal cold water. And lo, the garden of truth blossoms
like unto a paradise. And the soul rises within the very geometry of these springs, and even within
these new living manifestations of divine reality, and lo, the soul is carried above the surface, and
is rising even higher. [expanded during
transcription] 3/5/2001
Mon. | |
|
The glow of sacred fire holds, and expands, during the whole of the (12x) Tubes of Light calls. A
slight weight of oppression appears upon the spine at or just below the level of the heart on the
11th to 12th repetitions. 3/5/2001 Mon. |
| The concept of the Holy Christ Self is
extremely important, especially as the focal point of the causal body, i.e. a focal point in which all
the good works which the soul has accomplished in its divine estate comes together into the
personification of the Real Self, and especially since the Master has made it clear that the soul
must re-integrate with those patterns of victory first, before the soul can move on to greater
heights. 3/5/2001 Mon. | |
| Isn't it interesting to consider the fact that
re-
integration requires that the four lower bodies begin to move in harmony and alignment with the
contents of the causal body, i.e. with those previously mastered momentums of divine activity, and
that the first place this re-integration occurs is in the context of the soul's service before that altar,
specifically in the use of the science of the spoken word, in the giving forth of the creative fiat, in
the act of calling forth the full realization of the victory of God's will. 3/5/2001 Mon. |
| Now, in this regard, it is also interesting to
consider the idea that there is much room for improvement in our use of the science of the spoken
word itself. How much room? How much room is in the causal body? In other words, what level
of mastery of the science of the spoken word does the causal body contain? In other words, what
level of mastery of the science of the spoken word did the soul attain to while in its divine estate?
Whatever that height of attainment is, that is the height of attainment that the soul must anchor
before it can move on to greater heights. [expanded during transcription]. 3/5/2001 Mon. | |
| It is very interesting to consider the idea
that
the soul cannot rise to a higher level of integration with other aspects of its divine identity, which is
higher than its level of integration with that aspect of its divine identity which was at its height, a
true master in the employment of the science of the spoken word. So, then, we see that it makes a
lot of sense to strive to do better in terms of our work at the altar, because the level of Christ
Reality that we realize in other areas of our life can not be lifted up and increased without first
lifting up and increasing this area of re-integration. To clarify further, I would say then, the level
of success we achieve in reintegrating ourselves with our past attainment in the use of the science
of the spoken word will form a ceiling above which other areas of our life cannot rise. As we raise
our level of integration with our past attainment in the use of the science of the spoken word, we
raise in a corresponding manner, our capacity to integrate with other aspects of our past
attainment. [expanded during
transcription]. 3/5/2001
Mon. |
| And I am wondering whether this principle
has a bearing on the dispute concerning the new sword policy promulgated by the Church
leadership, specifically whether the church's action in limiting William Espino's participation will
effectively place a cap upon his ability to rise into the fullness of that Christ Identity stored in his
causal body, or on the other hand, that William Espino was becoming too enthralled with the
sword work (which is no substitute for the mandate to re-integrate with one's past attainment in
the use of the science of the spoken word) and that perhaps his focus on the sword work was
actually limiting his ability to master the science of the spoken, in as much as he was spending all
his time during decree services wielding the sword, and no time actually speaking the word. We
are wondering which one of these is true. 3/5/2001
Mon. | |
| It is through, literally through, the Holy
Christ
Self that the soul gets its arms around the concept of the causal body. The Causal Body and the
Holy Christ Self are very much the same thing. The Holy Christ Self has no substance without the
contents of the Causal Body. It is the role of the Holy Christ Self to ensoul the Causal Body, to
contain the Causal Body in terms of the full array of divine behavior patterns. 3/5/2001 Mon. |
| In as much as all of the divine behavior
patterns contained in the causal body were in the first instance developed within the context of the
soul's union with the Universal Christ (which serves as the interface between the soul and the I
Am Presence, and which gives the soul access to the treasures of the I Am Presence), it must
follow that it is the Universal Christ which holds the Causal Body together, and which engineers
the re-integration of the soul with those behavior patterns. [expanded during
transcription]. 3/5/2001 Mon. | |
| In fact, there is much to be said for locking
one's awareness onto the causal body, for the contents thereof will define at least the short term
future of the soul. In other words, if the soul cannot move on until it fully re-integrates with all the
life patterns stored in the causal body, then this order of business, i.e. re-integration with the
contents of the causal body, must be at the top of the priority list. 3/5/2001 Mon. |
| I have to admit though, that we are
thinking
more clearly on this subject, seeing more clearly on this subject, than we ever have before. The
causal body is a very tangible commodity within the fabric of our awareness right
now. 3/5/2001 Mon. | |
| A blessed and comforting glow of the
sacred
fire of peace and freedom appears in our 3rd eye area, and throughout the fabric of our mind, on
the 5th repetition of our (12x) 30.08 Covenant of the Magi calls. 3/5/2001 Mon. |
| A flame of intense sacred fire glow
appears in
our 3rd eye area at the 7th repetition of our (45x) Michael calls, and the glow stayed with us
through the whole session. We were able to make determined efforts to lift up the thoughtform of
the victory of God's will, and by the latter part of the session we were experiencing a considerable
increase in intensity in terms of the manner in which the call itself was going forth. This intensity
was due in large measure to the feeling of fulfillment we received from the effort to lift up our
entire world, and throw it up into a condition of congruency with the desire for the victory of
God's will. Again, when we move into any amount of congruency we receive that feed back of
profound fulfillment. I'm trying to think of an analogy. 3/5/2001
Mon. | |
| Once upon a time there was a pilot who
loved
to fly. His name was George. When God made George, God made him into a pilot. George was
made to fly, and that's what he loved to do. In other words, that was God's will for George, and
George knew it because flying was the thing he loved to do the most. For George, the victory of
God's will was represented by the act of sitting in the pilot's seat and flying that airplane. When
George was fully integrated with that role, that's where he felt the greatest fulfillment. But, sorry
to say, that it came to pass, that one day, someone convinced George to bail out of his airplane,
and he actually bailed out, and when he hit the ground, he bumped his head, and he forgot that he
was a pilot, and he wandered around on the ground for many years trying to figure out who he
was and how he fit into this new landscape and all the various activities that he found going on
around him. Overall, George was not very happy camper. Sure there was lots of stuff to do, lots
of distractions, lots of ways to keep oneself entertained. That seemed to be the most important
pastime of the people around him, and they were good at inventing endless kinds of entertainment.
But there was nothing on the ground that could give George the fulfillment he once knew when he
was able to fly his airplane. Everywhere he went he carried around with him this gnawing sense
that whatever activity he tried, nothing came close to re-connecting him to that deep sense of
fulfillment that he carried deep in his subconscious memory. He knew it has something to do with
flying. But that was a paradox, because in this world people did not fly, the only thing that flew in
his new world were birds. After a very long time, and after becoming completely frustrated with
his inability to figure out why nothing he did met his need for fulfillment, he crossed paths with a
very old man with a long grey beard. This old man told George about the airplane that he had left
long ago flying in circles way up in the air. He told him about this magic mountain, and the force
therein, which had sent out a tractor beam and pulled his airplane into close orbit around its
summit the moment George had bailed out. Yes, George's precious airplane was still orbiting
around the summit of that mountain, and if George could find the mountain, and climb to the
summit he could learn how to jump back into the pilot's seat. The old man drew a map for
George showing the way to the magic mountain, and he set out on the long journey to find that
mountain, and that journey, being a long one, and full of surprises and adventures, is another
story. But one day George arrived at that mountain, and he climbed to the summit and sure
enough there was his airplane, circling the summit around and around and around. George gave
the whistle the old man had taught him and the airplane changed course and flew in George's
direction and passed by him overhead. George leaped up, and grasped only thin air. But George
was determined. He spent many years on that mountain top whistling and leaping, and finally one
day the airplane came so close as to be within George's reach. George grabbed at it as it flew by
and only succeed in catching the tail, but he had it in his grasp, but oh no, his grasp was not very
strong, and this was made the more obvious as the airplane accelerated into a climb. George
couldn't hold on, and he fell. Fortunately, there were a flock of magic birds that lived on the
magic mountain, and they all had a very awesome necklace of diamonds around their neck. One
of these magic birds saw the plight of George, falling falling falling, and it swept out and caught
George in mid air, and set him softly back down on the ground, way down in the valley. "Well,
thanks," George said, wondering at the sparkling radiance of the beautiful diamonds arrayed
around the neck of this unusual bird. Wonder what that's all about, he thought to himself, looking
out of the corner of his eye at the looming magic mountain in the distance, and becoming instantly
desperate as he realized that he would have to climb that mountain again. "That's a really pretty
necklace", he said to the magic bird as he turned back around, but the bird was gone. Now, if he
were to try again, he would have to climb the mountain again, back to the summit. He had a
choice before him. How much did he want to get back into the seat of that airplane? Did he want
that enough to go to all that effort to climb back up the mountain, and take yet another leap that
would more than likely cause another fall? Would the magic bird be there to catch him again?
Well, the moment George had touched that airplane, he was reconnected to that deep sense of
fulfillment that he had known so long ago, and that became the center of an indefeatable
determination. George climbed back up to the top of that mountain, gave his whistle, leaped
again, and fell again, and he did this countless times. But with each attempt he was getting
stronger and he could hang on longer, and the longer he could hang on, the longer he could feel
that deep sense of fulfillment, and that fulfillment set his heart on fire with an even greater
determination which only grew and grew and grew. And finally, and one day it simply had to, that
it came to pass, that one day George's ability to leap was like unto a spring loaded gazelle, and his
grip had become stronger than steel, and his reflexes sharper and quicker that a humming bird, and
finally, grabbing onto the tail of that airplane, he hauled himself up, and pulled himself hand over
hand into the cockpit of that airplane and dropped himself into the pilot's seat, which he found was
exactly the way he remembered it. To say the least, George was in paradise, and he knew it. And
after that he lived happily ever after. [expanded during transcription]. 3/5/2001 Mon. |
| Of course, the deep passion for the victory
of
God's will is definitely a fundamental component of your past divine identity, and that pattern is
stored in your causal body. When you try to rise into the midst of it, and achieve a few moments
of congruency, you feel that same fulfillment experience by George our imaginary
pilot. 3/5/2001 Mon. | |
| Moral of the story: everyone you meet is a
self-
grounded pilot just like you. 3/5/2001 Mon. |

Archangel Jophiel's dictation, Vol. 28, No. 5, but reading one page over and
over. 3/5/2001 Mon. | |
Daily Prayers in the U.S. House
March 6,
2001 | Daily Prayers in the U.S. Senate
March 6, 2001 | The
Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following prayer:
Isaias begins his message with these words: ``Hear, O heavens, and
listen, O earth, for the Lord speaks.''
All the heavens and all the earth cannot grasp or contain Your Word, O
Lord. Once spoken and unleashed upon our world, Your word catapults imaginings to their heights
and penetrates everything to its depths. May our hearing turn to listening and our listening make us
so attentive that it leads to new understanding and new ways of acting.
Your Word provokes Isaias to cry out to the people: If only we were
free enough to be raised up by its power or strong enough to be embraced by its full passion! Then
we like Isaias would be able to hear, in our broadcasted news, the voice of violence coming from
our own children. And we would lament as a nation searching for prophetic vision until we and
our ways of acting change. We pray for this vision now and forever. Amen. | The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following
prayer:
O God, who in the work of creation commanded light to shine out of
darkness, shine in our minds. You have given us the gift of intellect to think things through in the
light of Your guidance. Dispel the darkness of doubt and the petulance of prejudice so that we
may know what righteousness and justice demand. We pray with Soren Kierkegaard: Give us
weak eyes for things which are of no account and clear eyes for all Your truth.
Bless the Senators today as they seek Your truth in the issues before
them. Place in their minds clear discernment of what is Your will for our beloved Nation. May
they constantly pray with the Psalmist: Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness, make Your way
straight before my face. Help them to look ahead to every detail of the day and picture You
guiding their steps, shaping their attitudes, inspiring their thoughts, and enabling dynamic
leadership. May the vision of You guiding them be equaled
by the momentary power You provide. Give us wisdom to perceive You, diligence to seek You,
patience to wait for You, hearts to receive You, and the opportunity to serve You.
We ask Your continued care and healing for our Vice President,
DICK CHENEY. Now we commit this day and all of its opportunities and responsibilities
to You. Through our Lord and our Saviour. Amen. |
|
| | a.m. decree work in
sanctuary |
"It is very very
important to work constantly and conscientiously
for the victory of God's will." We repeated this statement from the moment we got out of bed to
the moment we arrived in the sanctuary, about 20 minutes. On the way into the sanctuary we had
to stop in the garage area and vacuum up the ants that were all over the garage floor, having been
driven out other normal underground routes, or even outside overland routes I suppose, by the
several days of rain. 3/6/2001 Tue. |
| In regards to this focus, it is very
interesting to
keep this statement, which allows you to glimpse
into the realm of divine constancy, and even sense the promises of God, while surrounded on all
sides by this looming darkness that is intent on drawing your awareness back into the realm of
sleep. On the one hand, that part of you that is integrated with this darkness cannot relate in the
least to te words being spoken, while another part of you is peering through the mist and catching
faint glimpses of the paradise of total devotion that lays yet very far away. 3/6/2001 Tue. | |
| This is like stumbling through the heat and
dryness of the Sahara desert, being able only to pull out
of your wallet a photograph of a tall glass of ice cold water. Sure looks nice, but 99.9% of your
senses are telling you that that glass of ice cold water doesn't exist. 3/6/2001 Tue. |
| As we give our opening statements, at the
point where we invoke the light of past dictations,
thusly: " ... I would like to express my gratitude for having had the opportunity to attend so many
blessed services in the Chapel of the Holy Grail, and for the opportunity to have been in
attendance during so many live dictations in the Chapel of the Holy Grail, and at the Inner Retreat,
and I would like to take this opportunity to invoke the full gathered momentum of all the light
released by the Ascended Masters in those dictations for which I have been personally present, and
for those which I have previously and subsequently heard and read, for the express purpose of
expanding my capacity to work effectively and constructively for the incoming golden age of St.
Germain ... "; we are given to see that total devotion is not a hard thing because it is indeed a
glorious paradise. 3/6/2001 Tue. | |
| And you come before the altar and the
Masters
hand you that tall glass of cold water! And you get
to drink it down! And your whole being is refreshed, and your thirst satisfied. 3/6/2001 Tue. |
| Yes, the glorious paradise of total
devotion. 3/6/2001 Tue. | |
| All around our effort to focus on the
victory of
God's will during our 15 minute Helios and Vesta
calls is this circular aura of divine promise that attests to the fact that your victory depends upon
your success in holding that thoughtform up at the center of your attention, and that his is
completely up to you, and because no one can stand in my way, (except for me, and I will not
stand in my own way) my victory is certain, and there is a substantial amount of excitement within
my soul concerning this fact. 3/6/2001 Tue. |
| The glow of the sacred fire of peace and
freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness about
12 minutes into our 15 minute Helios and Vesta calls. 3/6/2001
Tue. | |
| During Kuthumi's I Am Light calls, my
attention drifted into the contemplation of the problem
scenario related to our neighbors, in regards to the barking dog, and after a while I noticed this,
and I said to myself, "Hey! This is not what it means to focus on the victory of God's will!" And I
looked in the direction of that victory, in terms of the place where the victory thoughtform was to
be raised up, and indeed it was a far way off. We moved in that direction, as if traveling over a
discrete distance, and arrived back at the focus of the victory of God's will, and I noticed that there
is an amazing difference between the quality of our mind overall when you compare one with the
other. While focusing on the victory of God's will, the ceiling of awareness is aglow with the
sensation of freedom, and you are at peace as this quality of freedom draws your attention
upwards. On the other hand, the meandering of the mind through the labyrinth of human affairs
does not have any of these qualities. By comparison, it is stuffy, confined, with the heavy ceiling
of anxiety and concern always pressing down upon you. 3/6/2001
Tue. |
| My heart is embracing, in a much
more than ordinary fashion, this blessed opportunity to
be here in the sanctuary before the altar, to give forth the calls, and especially to practice that all
important exercise of raising up your attention and focusing all that you are on the victory of
God's will. 3/6/2001 Tue. | |
| "It's very very important for you
to work constantly and conscientiously for the
victory of God's will." We repeated this over and over from point we left the sanctuary to the
time we arrived in the office for our morning work period, and I must report that there is the
clearest sensation of staying above the opposition, that there is a power above, a power of divine
promise, that lifts our attention unto it, and we pass over (the mud holes and tar pits laid out
before you by the enemy) and arrive at our work with that sense of divine promise. No opposition
was encountered at all. [notes recorded
in office]. 3/6/2001
Tue. |
| p.m. decree session in
sanctuary |
Over the
course of our last couple of hours of work, in which
we were doing nitty gritty computer work creating html files to hold the images that correspond to
the links to the Chart of the Presence, Jesus, and St. Germain that are found in the block of
explanatory text below the Footprints title, and especially the time consuming task of formatting,
sizing, and positioning those images, when we pulled our head out of it, and looked around,
especially in the direction of the next item on the schedule, i.e. our decree work, we confronted
this huge wall of inertia standing in our way, putting a thousand miles of substance in between me
and any sense of divine reality. This is simply an amazing phenomena. This wall of inertia makes
it impossible to believe that anything positive will ever come from going in that direction.
3/6/2001 Tue. | |
| But, I am happy to report, that on the 2nd
of
(12x) repetitions of our Tubes of Light, the
blessedness of the sacred fire of peace and freedom begins to appear, and by the 12th repetition,
we have the most intense sacred fire glow in our 3rd eye area, clearing the path out ahead of us as
far as the eye can see. So I have to say that I am again amazed in finding our first hand how far
God can bring me in such a short period of time, delivered out of the bondage of inertia, into the
freedom of divine delight. In other words, what seems so completely and utterly impenetrable to
me, suffocating in its completeness in terms of the denial of the reality of the light, the utter denial
of the value of walking into the sanctuary at all, can be blasted asunder so completely, and in its
place, a condition of such blessed precious freedom can be established. Every time we come
through these barriers, it is simply amazing. [expanded during transcription]. 3/6/2001 Tue. |
| It is very interesting, the tangible
distinction
between the Universal Christ, and the Father, the I Am
That I Am, that ll the treasures that are contained within the storehouse of the Father's heart, are
delivered into the hands of the creation by the Universal Christ. 3/6/2001 Tue. | |
| The greatest desire of the Universal Christ
is
for the soul to direct its attention to the Father,
because only then can that Christ fulfill his mission, which is the revelation of the Father to the
creation. The Universal Christ is there to transfer knowledge, which many may think belongs to
the Christ himself, but there isn't a single thing that the Universal Christ has, that the Father did
not give to him. 3/6/2001 Tue. |
| As we approach and enter into this point
of
our main preamble, in the affirmation of previous
points of divine revelation, to wit: "The magic presence revealed to me, juxtaposed to my
repudiation of the T.O.P. enterprise," we observe that we are now completely immersed in the
very presence of paradise, sacred fire glow all around, which permeates us through and through,
embracing with peace and delight all the atoms of my being. 3/6/2001
Tue. | |
| As we continue on to the next point, we
are all
aflame with the fire of appreciation for the
blessedness of this presence which has a more tangible dimension, a more personal dimension to it,
than ever before. We are actually feeling like we are in a ring of dancing flames, and the flames
are the appreciation that we are feeling. 3/6/2001
Tue. |
| This presence leaves me with the
conviction
that there isn't any limit to what God can reveal to
you. 3/6/2001 Tue. | |
| And as we proceed forward through the
remainder of our affirmations of previous divine
revelations, each one repeated 15 times, the sacred fire presence stays with us, and the personal
dimension of this presence stays with us as well. 3/6/2001
Tue. |
| A very clear point of feedback during the
invocation of Ascended Master Godfre's dispensation of
intercession. The feedback communicates friendship. 3/6/2001
Tue. | |
| We dropped out of our awareness of the
sacred fire glow over the course of making our various
calls on various conditions, and thus lost the immediate awareness of that personal dimension to
the sacred fire glow as well. But on the 2nd repetition of our (12x) 30.08 Covenant of the Magi
calls, the sacred fire presence returned, and stayed with us, but without the immediate awareness
of the personal dimension. Though as we endeavored to focus on the victory of God's will
throughout our 30.08 calls, our attention was clinging to the memory of that personal presence, i.e.
the experience of that personal dimension. This is extremely compelling, and adds a completely
new dimension to our sense of divine identity. I mean, this amounts to a paradigm
shift. 3/6/2001 Tue. |
| Of course, the God Presence is not
supposed
to be a mental abstraction, even if that abstraction is
constructed from a past revelation, and this experience shows us how the soul begins to be re-
integrated into an awareness of the God Presence, i.e. moving from abstraction to actual contact,
and that contact comes within the context within which the soul is completely at ease, and in fact,
is already in the midst of the greatest delight, and of course I am speaking of the sacred fire of
peace and freedom glowing intensely within the fabric of awareness, and in the midst of that
delight, a new dimension of knowledge is added through the medium of the sacred fire glow,
which sort of taps the soul on the shoulder lightly, and says, "get ready for this, and you better sit
down. This glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom in which you are taking such delight is
actually being extended from your own God Presence, in others words, I AM right here with you!"
And this immediate knowledge stays with the soul long enough for the soul to really absorb the
impact of the experience, and then the knowledge of closeness is withdrawn (but the glow of
sacred fire remains), to give the soul some space to acclimatize itself with this rather startling and
amazing news. Talk about good news! I need to sit down! 3/6/2001
Tue. | |
| A new dimension of the sacred fire of
peace
comes upon us in a very powerful manner within the
3rd eye chakra area during the last 5 repetitions of this set of (15) Hail Marys. 3/6/2001 Tue. |
| As noted above, we have been reading
page
48 of Archangel Jophiel's dictation over and over. The last paragraph of this page says,
"Understand the meaning of the God here where you are, here in the very center of your temple,
and know that that God is as important as the God who presides in the heart of the Great Central
Sun." I can say that each time we read that, that my mind was impervious to any substantial
penetration of illumination on that point, i.e. until now. Here is an experience that has given a
dimension of relevance and meaning to the words of the Archangel. It's
awesome. 3/6/2001 Tue. | |
| Thus, one certainly finds oneself in a new
posture of openness. Like, please don't leave! Stay here with me! I want to know you are
there! 3/6/2001 Tue. |
|
We spent the entire (45x) Michael decree session in a constant glow of the sacred fire of peace and
freedom, even with an interruption, a request to put out the cat, mid way through. Our efforts to
raise up the thoughtform of the victory of God's will had to share my attention throughout the
whole of these calls with the memory of that experience of the personal closeness of my God
Presence. That experience was at the center of my attention throughout the entire
session. 3/6/2001 Tue. | |
| This awareness of the personal closeness
of
your own God Presence is exactly the antidote for the eradication of all strife between men, i.e. the
members of the human race. If you are aware of this, you know with certainty that God desires
this kind of close communion with each of his children. It is therefore impossible to treat any
other person with less than the love, kindness, comfort and friendship with which God is
presently enfolding you. I hope you see what I mean. The logic of the golden age
requires permanence of contact in this regard. Therefore, because we know that permanence in
this regard is the will of God, our desire for it ought to know no limit, and our striving for it should
never cease. 3/6/2001 Tue. |
| I am reminded of the revelation of the
garden
paradise of the heart, the place where divine friends meet, where the word "cherish" describes
every relationship. Now we can see clearly how this can be so in all practicality. All who reside in
that garden paradise are personally enfolded with the love of their own God Presence. All that
they are proceeds out of that conflagration of personal communion. 3/6/2001 Tue. | |
| My Holy Christ Self is me! My Holy
Christ
Self is me! My Holy Christ Self is me! 3/6/2001
Tue. |
| Actually, "the victory of God's will" has
taken
on a new and exciting meaning, with this new awareness of the personal closeness of our God
Presence, and the understanding that it is the will of God for this closeness to become
permanent. 3/6/2001 Tue. | |
| So, when we raise up the thoughtform of
the
victory of God's will, we are raising up the prospect of this closeness becoming permanent, and at
this juncture, this is not hard to formulate into the substance of a very deep
desire. 3/6/2001 Tue. |
| Our entire 15 minute violet flame session
was
spent in a constant, even, and uniform, glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom, with much
time spent focusing on the victory of God's will, and upon the experience noted above, and upon
the subject area of implications. 3/6/2001 Tue. | |
| This experience also provides a new
avenue of
awareness through which the reality of our (20x) DPU love affirmations, "O God my beloved
Father, I Am That I Am, I accept your infinite love for me personally," can be apprehended more
clearly, bringing it in from the realm of the abstract, closer into the range of personal
cognition. 3/6/2001 Tue. |
| Most of the 20.12 decree matrix, I Ratify
the
Judgment of Helios, (including 20.07 Judgment calls (5x), 20.09 Dweller calls (5x), .30 Solar
Rings), was spent in an even, uniform, glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom, with an
intensification at the 3rd eye level experienced during the .30 Solar Ring section, and Tube of
Light (3x) subsection. 3/6/2001 Tue. | |
| A new dimension of sacred fire peace and
freedom appears in the 3rd eye area during our last set of (15x) Hail Marys. This time we are
given the sense of white light descending from above, streaming down through the veil of darkness
that yet separates us. 3/6/2001 Tue. |
| A very blessed emergence of peace within
the
fabric of our awareness during our last set of prayers to Sanat Kumara and the Lady Master
Venus, "Beloved Sanat Kumara and Lady Master Venus, please help me to become more devoted
to the victory of God's will, the victory of God's infinite goodness, and the victory of the
nourishment of God's glory spread abroad across the entire planetary body."
(3x). 3/6/2001 Tue. | |
| Having the closeness of god enfold you,
how
could you ever fail to fulfill the mandate of God's love? How could you ever fail to service God's
love? Therefore, seek that closeness. 3/6/2001 Tue. |
| We had to reduce the repetitions of our
(3x)
series, (7.21 Strip us of all Doubt and Fear, 40.06 Purity, Astreas, Cyclopeas, Illumination, Great
Divine Directors, Hercules, I Seek Thee's, Healing, I Am Light, Light of the Heart, Helios and
Vestas, with a set of 3x Hail Marys in between each), to a single repetition each, but even so, we
got to spend the entire series (about 10 minutes) enfolded and permeated by a very bright glow of
sacred fire peace and freedom. Even though this glow is as tangible as the sky is blue, the element
of the knowledge of God's personal closeness is not present. And I find this very interesting.
Obviously this sacred fire glow is divine power, the very glow of freedom, but it does not carry
that knowledge of the personal closeness of your God Presence, unless your God Presence wants it
to. 3/6/2001 Tue. | |
| Overall, what this experience of the
personal
closeness of your God Presence has done for us, it to lay out before us a golden highway of divine
promise, with the most tangible anticipation and expectation of more divine treasures to be
discovered. 3/6/2001 Tue. |
| What's really exciting about the future is
that
with the prospect of this personal closeness of your own God Presence, love will no longer be an
abstraction, an unknown quantity. No longer will love be only what the human imagination wants
it to be, or imagines it to be. You will come to know what love is because your God Presence will
be enfolding you with it. You will know from first hand experience. 3/6/2001 Tue. | |
