FOOTPRINTS ON
THE MOUNTAIN

Mar. 24, 2001 - Mar. 27, 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.

     After 15 minutes of Helios and Vesta calls, and 4 minutes into our 15 minutes of I Am Light calls, the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness at the 3rd eye chakra area. That's a total of 19 minutes of feeling apprehension about the fact that the sacred fire was not anywhere apparent, which gave me an opportunity to practice trust.  3/24/2001 Sat.
     You cannot go to the grocery store on a Saturday afternoon and select the lowest cost box of electrical power among the many that you find on the shelf. In other words, there is no such thing as a free-market mechanism in the electrical power industry. We simply don't have a choice that allows us to refuse one box of electrical power priced at an outrageous $100 for a package of ten kilowatt hours, over another manufacturer whose box of ten kilowatt hours which is priced at a more reasonable $10.00. Deregulation of the electrical power industry appears to have been a major folly. The reason for this is clear. There is a major conflict of interest between the private profit interests of the power plant owners who benefit from scare supplies, as this bumps up prices, and the energy security interests of the people which requires the building and operation of unprofitable excess generating capacity.   3/24/2001 Sat.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness 12 minutes into our 30 minute violet flame session.  3/24/2001 Sat.
     By and by, we got to the point where we remembered that we were supposed to be focusing on the victory of God's will. At that point we directed our attention in that direction, but I immediately came into contact with a barrier that repelled my efforts in this respect. The barrier said to me, in so many words, "you are not worthy to place your attention upon God. Go back you unworthy low life!" In other words, I think that it is accurate to say that my mind absorbed a portion of the barrier, or became one with it, and this was the conclusion that was then resident in my mind, as we felt ourself repelled in the opposite direction. This barrier was specifically around the heart, which I think has a relationship to the Aries sun cycle which has just come into play. I say this because I remember the heart chakra is plotted on the Aries/Libra axis of the Cosmic Clock. I am assuming that the Aries sun cycle has brought pre-existing electronic belt substance to the forefront of our awareness. We also observed that the Aries 3 o'clock line is the first line of the mental quadrant, a fact which communicates the idea that the mind is the gateway into the heart, which I believe is accurate, because if your mind is not orientated properly, you cannot access the heart. So the perversion of Aries would logically be a barrier that would drive the soul away from the heart. To get past this barrier, we simply repeated over and over in our mind, as the violet flame calls continued to go forth, "There is nothing more glorious and more precious than God's will." And of course the truth of this rebounded upon my awareness, signaling to me that there is nothing, no, not a single thing, that is more wise, than to fix your attention upon God's will. This defeated the barrier, and exposed the lie inherent in that barrier, and in the process, allowed me attention to rest upon the heart center. [expanded during transcription].  3/24/2001 Sat.
     I believe this with the most tremendous conviction, that every pattern of divine treasure stored in the causal body has at the very center of it the soul's personal and intimate relationship with the personal God Presence. That none of those treasures can be accessed without first establishing the central principle, i.e. communion with your God Presence. I think that I have noted this before, but it is worth repeating, that each talent and skill stored in the causal body is like unto a flower with many petals, and the petals extend out from the center, and that center is a mode of awareness that allows the soul to have personal contact with the God Presence. If there is no center, there would be nothing to hold the petals up in the proper configuration, and that amounts to a condition of chaos.   3/24/2001 Sat.
     A soft blessed glow of the sacred fire of peace, freedom, and paradise appears within the fabric of our awareness in the crown chakra area about two-thirds of the way through our 33.00 Ruby Ray Judgment call.  3/24/2001 Sat.
      This was day #6 of the Linda Healing Project. We started the ritual with a visit to the sanctuary, in which we again invoked the sponsorship of the entire spirit of the Great White Brotherhood, and especially the presence of Archangel Michael, the Ascended Master Kuthumi, and the Lady Master Nada, asking them to hold the balance for God-Harmony for this project. We proceeded out of the sanctuary, opened the garage door, rang the white hand bell, opened the gate, pulled the trash barrels out, which triggers Linda's most intense barking, and went over to say good morning to George, and pat him on the head, while trying to focus our mind on our prayer to our God Presence, "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. Grant unto her the gift of intelligence so she can recognize the difference between friend and foe." Today we note an interesting behavior change in three respects. First, Linda was up on her hind legs with her paws against the fence barking in my face, but the bark was less intense than yesterday. Though she did not stand up for long because George would playfully bite one of her back legs and that would distract her, and she would head back into her dog house. Second, in between the times when George was up on his hind legs with his paws against the fence when I was patting his head, he was in a very playful mode with Linda, and Linda was reciprocating in that play, which is a playful wrestling with one another, and during that play time, Linda was not barking. Third, after getting the attention of George, and he would leave off his play with Linda, and stand up to have his head patted, or really it is more of desire to have a wrestling match with my hand, Linda would not be barking. It is clear that George is playing a very important role here in not only distracting Linda, but putting her into a play mode, during which time she does not feel the need to bark at me. After several minutes, I said goodbye, and pulled the trash barrels back inside of the gate, which started Linda barking intensely again, closed the gate and rang the hand bell. Linda settled down quickly after that.  3/24/2001 Sat.
p.m. decree service in Sanctuary
      We left on an errand to the post office, and returned, making the usual amount of noise opening and closing the garage door, and Linda did not bark.   3/24/2001 Sat.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears in the fabric of our awareness at the 3rd eye area during the main preamble divine revelation recollection affirmations, specifically the one that says, "The revelation of the office of God Gratitude and Adoration into which I desire to rise and completely fulfill." (3x)   3/24/2001 Sat.
     I just wanted to note that on Thursday we completed the footprint web page layout/design changes, with the addition of the Light House Prayer framed by the two light house gifs, and since then we have been working on the macro that will automate the process of merging existing transcriptions in all footprint files for the years 2000 and 2001 into the new web page template, making all the necessary adjustments to the date specifications throughout each page. That macro is now complete and tested. It came together much faster than I had at first anticipated. With this macro, the process of making the layout/design changes throughout all footprint files a smooth and painless process, especially in regards to making sure that all changes are made uniformly throughout all files.   3/24/2001 Sat.
     But before we actually run that macro on all of those files, we will turn our attention to the issue of the congressional prayers. This short diversion into another to-do list item, will give us some time to ponder any additional design/layout changes that might be required before we do all of that file processing. We do have a tendency to want to say "finished" too soon. The footprint design/layout changes are at the 99.9% completion point. Perhaps the remaining .1% will come to you over the next couple of days. I am thinking that there needs to be some kind of a statement at the bottom of the page. What exactly that would be, I am not sure.  3/24/2001 Sat.
     The presence of the sacred fire becomes a tangible companion within the fabric of our awareness during the sword work section of the main preamble insert matrix  3/24/2001 Sat..
     Coming into this decree service this evening, we were feeling a substantial amount of physical nausea, and this was associated with a discomfort we are feeling in our right side, at the bottom edge of the rib cage, though inside somewhat, i.e. not on the surface. Normally any kind of physical ailment will cause me to leap at the change to take a break from our decree work. But today, even though we are sorely tempted, we could see too clearly that if healing is what you need, what is the better choice, sitting in front of the T.V. allowing the light to dribble away into the astral plane, or sitting before the flame of the altar, allowing that light to flow into you, and the cause, effect, record and memory of your discomfort to flow into the flame. The choice was too clear. And so here we are. We chose to do our altar work. And even though we have cycles into the depths of nausea a couple of times since we started, at this point, after finishing our sword work, and entering into our (12x) 30.08, Covenant of the Magi calls, we are immersed in a forcefield of sacred fire, with no symptoms of dis-ease evident, and we are in a state of gladness, i.e. sacred fire delight. There is no place that is better to be, than to be immersed in the delight of the sacred fire.  3/24/2001 Sat.
     What better time to focus on the victory of God's will than when you are not feeling well? After all, the will of God for you is perfect health.  3/24/2001 Sat.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness at the 3rd eye chakra area on the 25th of (45x) Michaels.  3/24/2001 Sat.
     Almost immediately upon entering into our 15 minute violet flame calls, the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom and paradise appears in our 3rd eye chakra area and we find it quite easy t focus intensely upon the victory of God's will! The sacred fire glow stays with us through the whole session, increasing in intensity and clarity during the last five minutes.  3/24/2001 Sat.
     During our 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), on the 3rd repetition of (5x) 20.07 Judgment calls, the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom and of boundless glory, appears within the fabric of our awareness at the crown chakra area. During our .30 Solar Ring calls a new level of sacred fire presence appeared within the fabric of our awareness, of the variety of crystal peace that speaks of whiteness.  3/24/2001 Sat.
     This crystal peace, which heretofore was manifest primarily in the crown area, expanded to a circular glow within the 3rd eye chakra area during the next set of (15) Hail Marys.  3/24/2001 Sat.
     Just looking over the universe of atoms and electrons that comprise your own body temple, we can find reason enough in this, to give ourself without reserve to the desire for the victory of God's will.  3/24/2001 Sat.
     That is the reason why it is so important to give our Cyclopea calls. That insight was not a product of the human mind, but of a divine vision where in an instant, the universe of atoms and electrons was before my vision, and the wonder of it struck at my heart, and it was clear that a God that could design the glorious fabric of my very life is worthy to lead us. Vision is the key to divine sanity.  3/24/2001 Sat.
     The entire (50x) Cyclopea session was spent immersed in a solid and bright glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom from start to finish.  3/24/2001 Sat.
     A most blessed forcefield of sacred fire peace descended into our temple occupying the fabric of our awareness so luxuriously, about half way through the 56.02 Right Hand of the Cosmic Virgin judgment call.   3/24/2001 Sat.
     In fact there is nothing more blessed than the awareness that is fixed on the victory of God's will, for that awareness has merged with paradise.  3/24/2001 Sat.
a.m. decree service in sanctuary
      The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness 9 minutes into our 15 minute Helios and Vesta calls.  3/25/2001 Sun.
     Last night we retrieved the first set of prayers for the U.S. House for January 3, 2001, and for the U.S. Senate for January 3, 2001, and we worked on the placement and formatting of those prayers within the context of the footprint transcriptions. I am very happy with the result. I especially like the choice of the light green background color. The html tags that comprise that formatting structure just need to be placed inside of a macro that will lay them in the web page at the appropriate place for the prayer text to appear. We now have the rather daunting task before us of retrieving al the prayers for the months of January, February, and March, 2001, and integrating those into our footprint web pages for those months.  3/25/2001 Sun.
     You can look at a pine tree and rightfully conclude that there is nothing more precious than God's will.  3/25/2001 Sun.
     Certainly, you could also look at a rose and rightfully conclude that there is nothing more precious than God's will.  3/25/2001 Sun.
     A very huge hug for God well's up within me about 11 minutes into our 15 minute I Am Light call session. This is the single most precious state of being that there is. Though there is a question about who is hugging who.  3/25/2001 Sun.
     Linda starts to bark at something about 6 minutes into our 15 minute violet flame session. Immediately the doubts surface as to whether our efforts will ever have an impact on her behavior beyond the morning healing session. But our attention rises almost immediately into the assurance that "with God all things are possible," and this idea is a tangible forcefield that we are contained within, and inside of it no doubts can touch you.  3/25/2001 Sun.
     The glow of the sacred fire appeared within the fabric of our awareness at the 3rd eye chakra area about 27 minutes into our 30 minute violet flame session. Our inner project of focusing on the victory of God's will has taken on a different form during this violet flame session. We are now able to coalesce a visualization of a rose, albeit dim and blurry, in our mind's eye, while we repeat over and over in our mind, "there is nothing more precious than the victory of God's will" (Reminds me of Dorothy's affirmation, "there's no place like home" in the Wizard of Oz). The image of the rose, and the quality of preciousness returns to us a tangible sense of God's beauty, and around that coalesces the actual desire for the victory of God's will, which we express in this form, "And I am dedicated totally to that victory." All of this is happening as the violet flame calls continue to go forth. The most important aspect of this change is the awareness that it is possible to stay within the awareness of the preciousness of God's will constantly, but it's your choice. If you make the effort you can do it. If you don't make the effort you will not be able to do it. But of course there is every reason to make that choice in the affirmative, and to make that effort, and to achieve that permanence.  3/25/2001 Sun.
     Esther just came home, beeped her horn to get me to come out, where I find she has brought home (4) really nice chairs from a friend's garage sale for $5.00 each. Good solid early American style legs with blue upholstery on the seat and chair back. I unloaded the chairs, brought then into the garage, and stood there talking with Esther for a bit about a big King James Version Bible she got for 25 cents, and finally closed the garage door. We did all this, and Linda did not make a single peep. This is practically surreal, i.e. unheard of.  3/25/2001 Sun.
     What is the 33.00 Ruby Ray Judgment all about? It is about setting people free to out picture the most precious part of their divine natures, by removing the influences of darkness that presently burden them and enslave them.  3/25/2001 Sun.

      This is day #7 of our Linda Healing Project which was implemented per our plan. We went to the sanctuary, and said our prayers related to this project, asking for the sponsorship of the entire spirit of the Great White Brotherhood, explaining the purpose of this project, both in terms of bringing a tremendous gift of healing to Linda, but also in terms of re-establishing a working relationship between me and my beloved God Presence. I asked specifically for the presence of Archangel Michael to hold the balance for God-Harmony between all creatures, I asked for the Master Kuthumi (as St. Francis) to guide me in my interaction with the animals, and I asked for the Ascended Lady Master Nada to place her electronic presence over me, chakra for chakra, and her hand over my hand as we ring our white hand bell in commemoration of the bells of love that she mentions several times in my favorite Pearl of Wisdom. We left the sanctuary, opened the garage door, walked over to the gate, rang the hand bell, opened the gate, Linda starts to bark, and pulled the trash barrels outside the gate, and walked over to greet George. Today, Linda stayed about 7/8's inside of her dog house the whole time, barking from there. She just didn't come out at all. There was only one instance of interaction between George and Linda the whole time. George was as friendly as ever, and happy to have his head petted and his paws held and shaken, i.e. like a hand shake. And there were a few moments that Linda was actually silent during this session. George brought the session to a close when he walked over into the shade against the wall of the neighbor's garage, and laid down, and just sat there and looked up, indicating that he did not want to play anymore. We said goodbye, pulled the trash barrels back inside the gate, which increased Linda's barking, closed the gate, rang the hand bell, and close the garage door, and Linda stopped barking. We are thinking about getting a blue rubber ball to see if George will play fetch with it, and perhaps this might inspire Linda to join in. We'll see.  [c-notes recorded in office].  3/25/2001 Sun.
     In regards to the reference made on 3-24-2001 to the discomfort I was feeling on my right side, I have to admit that I have felt this before, and the first time it emerged, probably about a year ago it really scared me. So much so that I looked into every nook and cranny of my life to see if there was something that we were doing that was wrong, and we did not have to look very far. We had developed a habit of guzzling down diet pepsi's during our computer work, and we were trapped in the midst of that habit pattern even though we are clearly aware of the fact that the Masters counsel their students not to indulge themselves in that particular vice. I immediately stopped, and after a week or so the pain went away, and has not surfaced since. Well, until now. Feeling the pain again, I look around to see what I am doing that is not good for my body, and again I find that I have started up that same habit pattern, though not at such an intense level, feeling like it is a good thing to do, that after I get home from my walk, that I sit down on the couch and drink down this diet pepsi, something that has no nutritional value at all. Ok. No more diet pepsi, not even if it is only one a day. And it may not be so much a matter of the sinister chemical content of the drink, but the fact that we develop a thirst for it, a desire for it, I mean we actually feel like we are getting something of value out of it, and of course this is simply not compatible with your goal of developing a desire body that desires only the victory of God's will. Desiring to drink a diet pepsi, and especially indulging this illusion that you are doing something good for yourself by drinking it, has nothing to do with desiring the victory of God's will. So, ok. No more diet pepsi.  [c-notes recorded in office].  3/25/2001 Sun.
p.m. decree work in sanctuary
      We did our Sunday evening grocery shopping, i.e. climbed into the car, pulled out of the driveway, returned by and by, got out of the car, and made all kinds of noise bringing in the groceries, and Linda did not bark. Unheard of. What I mean to say here is that what has been really aggravating about Linda's barking over the past couple of years, is that she will always bark at us while we are coming and going on the most normal errands, and doing the most normal chores. But there was no barking at us this evening. [expanded during transcription].  3/25/2001 Sun.
     The grocery shopping session went much better for us today that it did last Sunday. We went into the store determined to keep our prayers going the whole time, and we largely succeeded, "Beloved Jesus and St. Germain, please grant a tremendous gift of healing to everyone in this store." We repeated that constantly, and we were give to feel the glowing updraft of the sacred fire or peace and freedom during the entire session. The only challenge to our focus came when we went to look for a blue rubber ball for Linda and George in the pet supply section, thinking that this might be a way to make the dogs happy, and I found that all the plastic dog toys are made in China, which meant that I could not buy one. I felt disappointed, because I had my mind set on doing this, yet we have already previously determined to never by anything made in Communist China.   3/25/2001 Sun.
     Linda starts barking when Karla pulls up in the driveway.  3/25/2001 Sun.
     I had a very interesting insight into former U.S. Secretary of State James Baker while listening to part of a speech that he gave, which was broadcast on C-Span earlier this evening. Here is a man who will never bend the knee before God's desire to bring in the Golden Age. He doesn't have to. He's on top. He's ok. He doesn't need anything else. He's got it all. Status. Respect. Power. Wealth. He's self assured only because the system has him eternally elevated above the rest of the people. In other words, he is hermetically sealed in his sense of material well being. He is as a god before the people. The whole matrix of the Path of Initiation which is designed to empower everyone will spell the end to his position of status and wealth in terms of his own self concept. In other words, if people in mass started to pull down the treasures of their causal bodies, they would have more status and wealth (in the eyes of God) than he has, and that's a big problem, because he has no intention of bending the knee before the altar of God. [expanded during transcription].   3/25/2001 Sun.
     Isn't it interesting how Christian Theology has been framed to support this lifestyle? According to that theology, God is generally unreachable and therefor irrelevant during this life. God only becomes relevant in the after life, i.e. after death. That theology bars people, ideologically, from stepping onto the Path of Initiation and becoming part of the movement that will bring in the great golden age, which will spell the end to this culture of idolatry, where the elite can hermetically seal themselves in a sense of well being according to their positions of status and wealth. It is clear that Christian Theology sets forth a blueprint of a religion approved by the power elite, denying the people the power in the here and now to change this world for the better. [expanded during transcription].  3/25/2001 Sun.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness on the 3rd repetition of (3x) Tubes of Light (expanded to 5x).  3/25/2001 Sun.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears solidly within the fabric of our awareness at the 3rd eye chakra area on the 40th repetition of (50x) Cyclopeas. Pure and glorious paradise within the fabric of our awareness for the last ten repetitions (40-50).  3/25/2001 Sun.
     This very strong and thoroughly suffused presence of paradise of peace stayed with us through the 56.02 Right Hand of the Cosmic Virgin call matrix, and through the sealing of the service.  3/25/2001 Sun.
Daily Prayers in the U.S. House
March 26, 2001
Daily Prayers in the U.S. Senate
March 26, 2001

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

   Lord God, breathe forth upon us the same Spirit that moved Your servant Isaias.

   Overwhelmed by Your holiness in our midst we pray for the Members of the 107th Congress and the diverse people of this Nation.

   Give us humility and contrition that we may both repent for our sins as individuals and as a Nation. At the same time may we do our very best to set things right.

   Make us aware of our misdeeds that we may remove them from Your sight. May our manipulation cease doing evil and causing sadness. Restore hope, for our soul-searching impels us to do good. Make justice our aim both now and forever. Amen.

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

   Loving Father, You have taught us that the opposite of love is not hatred but indifference. Forgive us for indifference to the needs of the people around us. Here in the Senate, where debate over issues is the order of the day, it is a temptation to think of those with whom we disagree as adversaries, sometimes as political enemies. The very people who may need our prayers sometimes are neglected in our intercessory prayers because of their position on our cherished proposals. Often we become so intent on defeating political enemies that we forget they are fellow Americans, sisters and brothers in Your family, people You have placed on our agenda to affirm and encourage.

   So may debate be to expose truth, creative compromise to maximize solutions, and caring relationships to enable an ambience of mutual support. Help each Senator, officer of the Senate, and Senate staff adopt the motto: ``I may not agree with you, but I really care about you.'' Amen.

      This is day #8 of our Linda Healing project. We implemented the same basic ritual as yesterday. Prayers in the sanctuary, open garage door, walk to gate, ring hand bell, open gate, pull out trash barrels, greet George, say Linda prayers, pat George on head. Today Linda was immediately up on her hind legs with her paws against the face barking at me, and George immediately playfully bit her on the leg to get her down, and herded her back into the dog house where she stayed, barking at me from there. George was not very interested in playing today. Perhaps maybe two to three minutes of play, and then he laid down against the side of the house, and just looked up at me. Since George decided he didn't want to play, we brought the session to an end. It really did not last long enough to give Linda an opportunity to get comfortable with my presence. So far, every day has some new and different twist to it.  [c-notes recorded in office].  3/26/2001 Mon.

      The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appeared solidly within our awareness on the 6th repetition of our (12x) Tubes of Light. This stands in the sharpest contrast to the barrier of darkness that we faced as we entered the sanctuary. Barrier intensity of about a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. In the midst of the barrier there was absolutely no hint of divine reality. The force of it pushing upon the sensibilities of my soul communicated in so many words the following, "What are you doing here? What do you expect to find here? As you can clearly see there is nothing here for you. Go away." But of course, when the sacred fire appears, the barrier is simply gone, along with those audaciously absurd inferences.   3/26/2001 Mon.
     The glow of a new dimension of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness on the 15th repetition of (15) Hail Marys (expanded to 20x).  3/26/2001 Mon.
     This is day #92 of the strength of many mountains, and #90 of the golden portal of the heart and the many divine cities revealed therein, and #86 of the many many fires of celebration of the glory of God, and #51 of the nourishment of God's glory spread abroad across the entire planetary body, and #42 of the garden paradise of the heart, the place where divine friends meet, where the word "cherish" describes every relationship, and #21 of the personal closeness of my very own beloved God Presence, and #13 of my own beloved God Presence as the presence of paradise.  3/26/2001 Mon.
     On about the 14th repetition of this divine revelation recollection affirmation, "It is eminently lawful for you to have complete faith and trust that God will place solid ground before you as you march forward on this path," (repeated 15x), a most blessed and wonderful presence of the sacred fire of peace, freedom, and of a quality that is beyond paradise, blossoms within the fabric of our awareness at the crown chakra area. I use the word "blossom" to denote that fact that I could sense the unfolding of the presence, experiencing the process of it coming forth from where there was nothing before, and increase in a smooth and orderly manner, like unto the blossoming of a rose or any other flower. I believe the word "glory" is appropriate to describe the quality of this presence, a quality that is beyond paradise. There is a dimensional element to this, a structure, a depth, a tangibility.  3/26/2001 Mon.
     In addition to keeping caught up with our footprint transcriptions today, we completed our macro for the insertion and formatting of the U.S. House and U.S. Senate prayers. We tested it out on the Footprint file, 1/1/2001 - 1/12/2001, retrieved, formatted and inserted the prayers for the dates in that range, i.e. for those dates that those houses were in session. Works good. I believe the next major task before us is to start the process of going through all past editors_notepad files for 2000 and converting these to the footprint format using our template processing macro, and to retrieve, format, and insert the U.S. House and U.S. Senate prayers at that time, i.e. to accomplish both tasks on a file by file basis. That way, when we work our way through all the files, we will be able to say "finished."  3/26/2001 Mon.
     During the whole of our (45x) Michaels, a strong steady glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom occupied the fabric of our awareness.  3/26/2001 Mon.
     During our next set of (15x) Hail Marys, we were able to enter into this perception, "There is nothing more precious than the victory of God's will." It really is a "place" where there resounds the truth of the matter, that there is no reason under the sun to depart from that place.  3/26/2001 Mon.
     A blessed glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness at the very beginning of the preamble to our 15 minute violet flame session. The sacred fire glow remained fairly constant over the course of the 15 minute session. We had some very solid successes locking into our new victory thoughtform, "There is nothing more precious than the victory of God's will."  3/26/2001 Mon.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom, and divine promise, and divine assurance, appears within the fabric of our awareness at the 3rd eye chakra area on the 3rd repetition 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).  3/26/2001 Mon.
     A most blessed glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom, and endless corridors of paradise, appears within the fabric of our awareness on the 10th repetition of (15x) Hail Marys. There is nothing more precious than the victory of God's will.  3/26/2001 Mon.
     During this service, we continued with the 2nd reading of the dictation by the God and Goddess Meru, Pearls of Wisdom, Vol. 28, No. 8.  3/26/2001 Mon.

Daily Prayers in the U.S. Senate
March 27, 2001

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

   Lord God, how different history would be if long ago people had taken Your holy word seriously: ``Make justice your aim.'' Each day would be filled with promise and hope if all of us upon rising would make justice our aim. Without blaming anyone or without seeking applause, each day would lead to changing the world, if justice alone were our aim.

   Justice itself would give balance to our daily routine, breathe contentment into our souls and set us free. Justice toward others would create a mutuality with every other person that would be fair, take us beyond expectation and codependency until we found trust and security.

   Lord, if we as a people and as a Nation were to make justice our aim, how would this change our priorities? Could we change that much? In every age You alone, Lord God, take people beyond their wishful thinking and beyond themselves. You alone bring about lasting and true justice.

   So, Lord God, in us and through us make justice Your aim now and forever. Amen.

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

   Dear Father, bless the Senators today. You are the Potter; they are the clay. Mold them and shape them after Your way. Americans have prayed for Your best for this Nation, and You have answered their prayers with these women and men, chosen by You because they are people open to Your guidance. Meet their personal needs today so they can be Your instruments in meeting America's needs. Give them peace of mind, security in their souls, and vigor in their bodies so they can lead with courage and boldness. You are our Lord and Saviour. Amen.

a.m. decree service in sanctuary
      Something I forgot to record from the other night, during a moment of intense gratitude unto God, I was immersed within an image of stained glass window, the image on the window was that of a knight. This occurred in the family room on my way back to the sanctuary after having taken a bathroom break.  3/27/2001Tue.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness about 5 minutes into our 15 minute I Am Light calls.  3/27/2001 Tue.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness in the brow area about 22 minutes into our 30 minute violet flame session.  3/27/2001 Tue.
office work
      This is day #9 of our Linda Healing Project. Today we added dog biscuits to the ritual. Also, we changed the Linda Healing Prayer slightly, "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." Also, as we made the effort to say this prayer over and over from the time we got out of bed, and finally arrived at the west gate, I wanted to note that the experience we had yesterday at the altar, i.e. the appearance of the presence of glory during our divine revelation recollection affirmations, was clearly in my memory and was a great help in giving the reality of the God Presence an objective tangibility. As usual we started the ritual in the sanctuary with prayers. Now, the dog biscuit addition wrought a considerable new dimension to the whole situation. I chopped three dog biscuits in half, for a total of six pieces. When George got up on his hind legs with his paws against the fence, and after I patted his head, I stuck one of the dog biscuit pieces in his mouth. It took him a while to figure out that he liked it. But immediately Linda sensed that there was something afoot, so I just tossed her a piece of dog biscuit. Linda took to it immediately as she has the memory of having these dog biscuits. After that, both dogs spent a lot of time just looking around on the ground (concrete) for more dog biscuits. It took some effort to get George's attention, to get him to stand back up, but once he did, and I patted his head, I gave him another dog biscuit piece. And again I tossed another piece to Linda. At this point Linda is not barking. She is totally interested in these dog biscuits. After George ate down his second piece he patrolled around the pen looking for another piece, and again it took some time to get his attention, and to get him to stand back up against the fence so I could pat his head. When he did so, I gave him a third piece, and at the same time tossed another piece to Linda. At this point, there was no barking. I was all out of dog biscuit pieces, so the session had to end. And I suppose three pieces for each dog is enough for any one session. When I pulled the trash barrels back inside the gate, Linda started to bark again. After closing the gate and ringing the hand bell, Linda settled down and stopped barking.  [c-notes recorded in office].  3/27/2001 Tue.
     I wanted to note that during our 30 minute walk last night we modified the affirmation of love that we give along four of the eight legs of our walking route. We added the reference to God as Mother as follows, "O God my beloved Father, my beloved Mother, I Am That I Am, I accept your infinite love for me personally." We repeat this for a total of about 15 minutes all together. The other 15 minutes is devoted to our Michael calls. The addition of God as Mother to this affirmation adds a definite and tangible new dimension of reality to our experience as we give this affirmation, specifically bringing to the forefront of our awareness the experiences associated with God as Mother that we have recorded before.  [c-notes recorded in office].  3/27/2001 Tue.
p.m. decree service in sanctuary
      I don't feel a lot of opposition going into this decree service. Perhaps it isn't zero, but it is less than a (1) on our opposition scale of 1 to 10. Two factors contribute to this. First, the experience we recorded in our journal last night during our p.m. decree service, occurring during our divine revelation recollection affirmations, has been at the forefront of our memory on and off throughout the whole day. Sort of like a star of hope upon which we can rest our attention and immediately feel the vibration of trust, and of course hope, concerning the possibility that the perception could be increased during this service. Secondly, we had a really good and productive office work session today in which we not only remained caught up on our footprint transcriptions, but we also completed the congressional prayer indexing macro (it scans through a footprint file, finds each occurrence of a congressional prayer, and creates an entry for that prayer in the subject index, and all that happens with a click of a button.) and we implemented what I believe is the last change to the footprint web page design/layout, which was to add a block of links to the bottom of the page. If someone scans through the page and finds nothing of interest, those links will at least provide a person with additional options. Really, I think I can say "finished" in regards to the layout/design changes, which allows us to now move forward and to implement those changes throughout all footprint files.  3/27/2001 Tue.
     After attending her aerobics workout in the swimming pool at the Spectrum gym, Esther went into the shower room to take her shower. While she was seated on a fold down shower chair in the shower room, the chair collapsed, sending her onto the floor with a thump. It turns out that the person who installed that chair did not drive the screws into a supporting stud. Can you believe that? Anyway she came away with a bruised lower back and rear end. After arriving home she was looking for the wrap- around ice pack that we usually keep in the freezer. But it wasn't there. She asked me where it was, and I told her to look in the freezer. She said she looked there, and it wasn't there. I went and looked myself and she was right, it wasn't there. And I had no idea where it could be. That's where we usually keep it. Well, I told her, ask the angels to help you find it. I don't know whether she asked the angels, but she did not find it, and used a package of frozen green beans instead. The next day, as I was making breakfast, Esther told me how well the package of green beans had worked as an alternate ice-pack, though we probably wouldn't want to eat them now, since they have been thawed and frozen and thawed again, and as an afterthought, that the angels haven't found the ice pack yet. I told her to keep asking, that the ice pack has to be around here somewhere. And immediately Esther said, "You don't suppose that it could have been left in one of those carry around coolers that we keep out there in the garage?" I went out to the garage, and looked into the first cooler, and that is exactly where the ice pack was.  [expanded during transcription].  3/27/2001 Tue.
     The reality of the personal God Presence makes quite a bit of functional and practical sense in terms of interfacing with a God whose measurements are infinite in all dimensions. Doesn't it make sense that God would design an interface with each element of his creation that can funnel that infinity down into a speck of contact that the soul can interface with and feel comfortable with? Just because God reduces himself to a lovely and friendly speck for each soul, does not mean, as we have pointed out before, that that speck is not attached to the infinitude of all that God is, and of course it is true, that all of the dimensions and qualities of glory are refracted down, perhaps optically condensed, without losing any of its compelling power, for the benefit of the evolving lifestream. The experience we had yesterday evening illustrates that point perfectly. There was a forcefield of unspeakable glory anchored in the very fabric of our awareness, a speck of infinite glory that spoke volumes about the reality of the infinity of that glory, appearing within the mind of a neophyte, a consciousness that is still quite small and limited, i.e. from a cosmic perspective, even microscopic. Yet God can interface with, and reveal himself to the microscopic. That's what the God Presence is for, i.e. giving the microscopic access to the infinite, and thereby providing the means for the transcendence of any current condition. [expanded during transcription].  3/27/2001 Tue.
     I have said this before, in another venue perhaps, but it is worth repeating here, that no soul will ever rise out of its microscopic relationship with God, not even in the ascended state. Of course, through the personal God Presence, the soul has access to the infinite, but the question is, how much of that infinity can the soul internalize, or ensoul, in terms of purpose, mission and mastery, at any particular point in time? No matter how much an angel, an Ascended Master, or an Archangel, or even an Elohim, can ensoul and master of the infinity of God, there will always exist beyond what the soul has mastered, an infinity of God Reality yet to be mastered. This is true, because at any given point in time, purpose, mission, and mastery, have got to be finite and measurable, and ultimately testable. And therefore, when infinity is compared and contrasted to the finite, no matter how grand and glorious a piece of God glory a soul's portion might represent, that portion will always be, and this will be eternally so, microscopic when contrasted with the infinity that will forever lay beyond. [expanded during transcription].  3/27/2001 Tue.
     While my level of attainment is micro micro micro micro micro micro micro micro micro micro micro microscopic when compared to the level of attainment and mastery exhibited by the Archangel Michael for example, his attainment is microscopic when compared to the infinity of God Reality that he has yet to encompass within his soul and therefore master in terms of purpose, and mission.  3/27/2001 Tue.
     What an enormously magical place the cosmos is. What an enormously mind boggling and wondrous proposition is before us concerning the fact that the all ness of all that is is ensouled by a God who is infinitely good. Every once in a while we come up against that realization, that there is nothing but the goodness of God, forever and forever, and we are as usual struck by the most profound amazement. And that amazement is focused primarily on the fact that the soul, now and forever, will always have an infinity of discovery and achievement lying before it. [expanded during transcription].  3/27/2001 Tue.
      Christian Theology has become interwoven with threads of darkness designed to short circuit any effort of any soul to actually fulfill the will of God in this lifetime.  3/27/2001 Tue.
     These threads of darkness are mission neutralizers, and the net effect is that the children of God remain under the thumb of the systems established by the fallen angels to enslave them. They have the masses of the world indoctrinated to believe that their rightful place is under the thumb of the power elite.  3/27/2001 Tue.
     What is so difficult to believe, or what is so unreasonable about the idea that every soul can accomplish what Jesus accomplished, and that they can do it in this lifetime? What is so unreasonable about the idea that a golden age can be established during this century and that the age old miseries of mankind can be finally erased from the face of the earth? What is so unreasonable about the idea that all of this can be called forth from the heart of God by God's own children who have rediscovered the science of the spoken word? What is so unreasonable about the idea that millions of angels can leap into action for the saving and the elevation of humanity unto the fulfillment of these goals when people gather together and practice the science of the spoken word as the ascended masters have taught us? What is so unreasonable about all of this? What makes all of this unreasonable is simply the fact that the fallen angels don't want it to happen. That is the beginning and the ending of the whole story. They have put an enormous amount of effort into recruiting many out of the very ranks of God's own children to help them suppress any and all ideas that concern the real freedom of mankind, i.e. the freedom to be what God intends us to be, not in some future time, but right now.  3/27/2001 Tue.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness during the last couple of repetitions of our (12x) 30.08 calls, which were interrupted by Karla and Esther who needed help getting logged on to the Internet.  3/27/2001 Tue.
     After more interruptions, we spent the first 35 repetitions of our (45x) Michaels in state of mind that was simply scattered. But finally, on the 35th repetition, the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appeared within the fabric of our awareness. The power of peace is such an amazing thing. All mechanisms of the mind are brought to rest within the embrace of a power that has the quality of blessedness throughout, i.e. the power not only brings the mind to rest, but caresses the fabric of awareness with the qualities of comfort and delight.  3/27/2001 Tue.
      A new dimension of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness during the next set of (15) Hail Marys (expanded to 20x). This presence speaks of paradise, of many good and wonderful things. Crystal clear.  3/27/2001 Tue.
     We have completed the 2nd reading of the dictation by the God and Goddess Meru, Vol. 28, No. 8, and we will start on the 3rd reading.  3/27/2001 Tue.
     We entered into our violet flame calls in what feels like a cloud of paradise. Very tangible, variegated, garden like vistas pressing upon our sensibilities on all fronts. The entire 15 minute violet flame session was spent in this forcefield, during which we were able to focus on this fact: "There is nothing more precious than the victory of God's will," and there arose a constant hope within us that our God Presence would stay within reach so that if anything more blessed is revealed, that my God Presence will be within easy reach when a huge hug will be called for.  3/27/2001 Tue.
     A very strong glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears in the fabric of our awareness at the 3rd eye chakra area on the 2nd repetition of (5x) 20.07 Judgment 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). The glow of the sacred fire appears so matter-of-factly, from nothing, expanding into a strong presence, that it speaks of a vista of light opening up before us. After another computer related interruption, we are back at the 20.12 matrix, and on the 4th repetition of (5x) 20.09 Dweller calls, the glow of sacred fire returns to the 3rd eye chakra area as strongly as before. This is about a (9) on our intensity scale of 1 to 12.  3/27/2001 Tue.
post walk
     On the second love affirmation leg of our first lap, we had a very interesting insight. We saw that it is a fact that it is a divine blessing to have Linda barking as a trigger to bring forth that carnal irritation so that we can take active steps to call forth the reality of our God Presence to counter it. It is in fact more important to master the calling forth of the reality of your God Presence under conditions that sorely tempt you to misqualify energy, in this case stamped with the vibration of irritation, than at any other time. In other words, it is those times during which outer circumstance can take control of the quality of your consciousness that it is most crucial to relearn how to regain the God-Control via your God Presence that will allow you to maintain the highest quality of consciousness. [notes recorded in bedroom].  3/27/2001 Tue.
      Additionally, during our love affirmations, "O God my beloved Father, my beloved Mother, I accept your infinite love for me personally," we had a very clear sense of the reality of the love of God as both Father and as Mother, much more so than is usual during our walks. This is like two lamps of loving concern shining in the distance. There is a definite sense of wholeness associated with contemplating the love of both God as Father, and God as Mother. In other words, there is an additional dimension of power there that we perceive that exhibits the quality of completeness. [notes recorded in bedroom]  3/27/2001 Tue.
