Daily Prayers
in the U.S. House
May 24, 2001 | Daily Prayers in the U.S. Senate
May 24,
2001 | The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the
following prayer:
Lord God, You glory in Your people even more than the artisan or
craftsman delights in the work of their hands. More than a parent takes joy in the graduation of a
son or daughter, do You glory in us as Your children.
May we in turn prove worthy of Your love and attention by listening
and caring for one another and the generation to come. May this House and this Nation prove
truly responsive to present needs and responsible for future results. Guide us by the spirit of
freedom so that we may prove to be Your model for other nations.
We call out to the world to rejoice with us and to learn from us.
O praise the Lord, all you nations; acclaim Him, all you peoples. Strong
is His love for us; He is faithful forever. Amen. | The Chaplain, Dr.
Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
Gracious Father, Lord of the ups and downs of life, Lord of the seeming
triumphs and supposed disappointments, Lord who does not change in the midst of change, we
come to You for Your strength and Your power. Make us hopeful people who expect great
strength from You and continue to attempt great strategies for You. Today especially, we ask You
to fill this Chamber with Your presence and each Senator--Democrat, Republican,
Independent--with Your special resiliency. Replenish our wells with Your
peace that passes understanding. We claim Your promise through Isaiah--Fear not, for I am
with you. Be not dismayed, I am your God. I will strengthen you; yes, I will help you; and I will
uphold you with My righteous right hand. Amen. |

 The first suggestion of the glow of the
sacred fire of peace, freedom, and well being, appears within the fabric of our awareness
approximately 8 minutes into our 15 minute period of I Am Light calls at a level of (1) on the (1-
12) scale of s.f. intensity. By the end of the 15 minute period the glow of the sacred fire has
expanded to a level (4) to (5) to (6). I would observe that the characteristics and qualities of the
sacred fire glow are very much in line with the fact that the identity of God is total love. But the
glow of the sacred fire does not speak of the power of love in a direct manner, i.e. not in terms of
the directness with which we experienced it on Tuesday evening. 5/24/2001 Thu. |  |
| I believe that this experience of the power
of love, and God's total identity as love, verifies what we have always felt, i.e. that one cannot
know anything about love until one comes into contact with God's love. Clearly, a whole new
vista opens before the soul. For myself, taking inventory of what I knew about love prior to the
experience, we can say that the total quantity of knowledge in this regard amounted to no more
than few grains of sand on beach of infinite length. In that experience, we saw the whole beach.
The few grains of sand we had in our possession prior to this experience are associated with the
1993 revelation of God's infinite love for me personally. That revelation was very much "me"
oriented. In that revelation it is fair to say that we experienced only that dimension of love that
God extended to me personally. The revelation did not encompass any other aspect of God's
creation. This new revelation shows us that all things extend out from that forcefield of total
love. 5/24/2001 Thu. |
| I have to say that it is very wonderful to
deal with life from that perspective, and we observe this, and say this, after having taken a break to
let the cat in, and we stopped a few moments to play with the cat, having found a red string on the
floor that appears to be a new toy. When we stood up from this play period, we had that
perspective framing our perception of all of our immediate surroundings at least. Again we have
to observe that this is a framework of awareness beyond thought. It is in the region of what
is on a macro scale. I am very grateful to have come into contact with it
again. 5/24/2001 Thu. | |
| Love without God is not love. It is
chaos. 5/24/2001 Thu. |
| To indulge the belief that one can be
sufficient in ones capacity to love without first learning from God what love is all about, represents
a serious error in judgment. 5/24/2001 Thu. | |
| This is day #151 of the strength of many
mountains, and #149 of the golden portal of the heart and the many divine cities revealed therein,
and #145 of the many many fires of celebration of the glory of God, and #110 of the nourishment
of God's glory spread abroad across the entire planetary body, and #101 of the garden paradise of
the heart, the place where divine friends meet, where the word "cherish" describes every
relationship, and #80 of the personal closeness of my very own beloved God Presence, and #72 of
my very own beloved God Presence as the presence of paradise, and #59 of the heart as home,
and #43 of the flaming garment of praise and adoration, encrusted with thousands of jewels of
divine perception, and #39 of the sacred presence of our Father/Mother God throughout all space,
and #33 of God as the center of Life, and #26 of God as our very own beloved Oasis deserving of
my utmost respect, and #20 of God deserving to be honored at all times and under all
circumstances, and #19 of the passion of the heart for the victory of God's will through the science
of the spoken word, and #17 of the great power and treasure of the heart center, and day #10 of
the great compassion of our own beloved God Presence, and day #3 of the power of love, and of
God's total identity as love. [c-notes

This is the 67th consecutive day of the
Linda Healing Project. Ritual outline: We begin repeating our
victory thoughtform the minute we wake up, "God deserves my utmost respect and highest
esteem", and we continue repeating this to the point we arrive in the sanctuary.
After dressing we proceed directly to the kitchen,
remove ten dog biscuits from the jar, and chop them in half to yield a total of twenty pieces. Ten
for Linda, and ten for Max. We proceed to the sanctuary, kneel at the altar, explain our goals, and
ask for assistance. This includes a request that a squad of nature spirits and elementals be assigned
to tutor Linda in recognizing the difference between friend and foe, and sword work to cut Linda
free from her fear and all aggressive tendencies. For the final step of our prayer work, we give our
Linda Healing Prayer (15x) visualizing her cradled in our arms: "My Beloved God Presence, I
Am That I Am, please allow Linda to feel your precious friendship, your precious love, your
precious comfort, your precious peace, and your precious healing power. Please bestow upon
Linda the intelligence that will enable her to recognize the difference between friend and
foe."
We depart the sanctuary, taking the white hand bell
from the altar, proceed into the garage, ring the hand bell, open the main garage door, and walk
over to the front gate.
We ring the hand bell again, open the gate, say good
morning to Linda and Max, and walk over to the chain link fence. We feed two biscuits to each
dog and give them a pat on the head, in this order, Max, Linda, Max, Linda. We repeat "We love
you Linda/Max" as we interact with each dog.
We then open the gate and pull the two trash barrels
outside of the gate, walk back inside the gate, close the gate, and walk over to the chain link fence.
We feed two biscuits to each dog and give them a pat on the head, in this order, Max, Linda, Max,
Linda. We repeat "We love you Linda/Max" as we interact with each dog. We then open the gate,
pull the trash barrels back inside of the gate, close the gate, walk back over to the fence and give
each dog two more biscuits and a pat on the head, in this order, Max, Linda, Max,
Linda.
We then open the gate, pull the two trash barrels
outside of the gate again, walk back inside the gate, close the gate, and walk over to the chain link
fence. We feed two biscuits to each dog and give them a pat on the head, in this order, Max,
Linda, Max, Linda. We then open the gate, pull the trash barrels back inside of the gate, close the
gate, walk back over to the fence and give each dog two more biscuits and a pat on the head, in
this order, Max, Linda, Max, Linda.
That done, I say "Goodbye, have a nice day", close the
gate, ring the hand bell, walk into the garage and close the garage door.
We then proceed into the kitchen to wash our hands and
arms up to the elbow, and into the bedroom to change our clothes. |
Linda let out one bark during the
ringing of the hand bell from inside of the garage. She let out approximately 2 to 3 barks from
that point on, until we arrived at the fence of the biscuit feeding. Linda did not bark at any of the
four movements of the trash barrels.
The first thing we noticed when we walked into the dog
pen area was that there were 2 piles of poop with a diarrhea type of consistency. I took this as a
sign that one of the dogs was having some physical troubles.
The first three (of five) biscuit feeding cycles proceeded
in a normal manner. Linda showed some eagerness during the first cycle, but diminishing
eagerness during the second and third cycles. On the fourth cycle, on both occasions when it was
Linda's turn for her biscuit, she would not come out of her dog house. She just laid down inside
of it and looked out. On the fifth feeding cycle, on both occasions when it was Linda's turn for
her biscuit, she would not come out of her dog house. She just laid down inside of it and looked
out. During both of these cycles I tried walked back to the gate and then walking back to the
fence, and that would get her to come out of her dog house, but when I waved the dog biscuit at
her, she looked at it, turned around, and went back into her dog house. So, there is obviously
something going on inside of her that is shutting down her appetite.
Max was well behaved during each of the five feeding
cycles. And his behavior was normal in all other respects.
After it was clear that Linda was not going to eat any
more dog biscuits, I spent some time trying to get her into a play mode by shaking the old leather
collar, which didn't work, and then the white flowers on the end of the green stalk, which did
work. When she stood up against the fence in her happy dog mode, we were able to rub the upper
part of her chest while petting her on the head, and she had one paw rested on my right forearm,
totally happy and content. So that was a good ending. We hope and pray that she recovers
quickly from whatever is wrong in terms of her lack of appetite. [c-notes recorded in office] 5/24/2001

| Just a note here to record the fact that as
we were finishing breakfast, sitting on the couch in front of the t.v. after watching the news, we
are under the influence of this great cloud of lethargy within which it is impossible to imagine that
we could ever get up and actually proceed forward into the work that needs to be done. Though
the first step is to wash the dishes. And during the dish washing session, we are giving Hilarion's
5.02 More Violet Fire decree, i.e. "Lovely God Presence I Am in me, hear me now I do
decree, bring to pass each blessing for which I call upon the Holy Christ Self of each and all ...
etc." And we register the appearance of the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom at a
level of (5) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity, and we observe that we have attained to a higher
quality of consciousness while washing the dishes than we ever had while we were watching the
television. And yes, here we are back in the office ready to get into the work that is before us with
no hint of that lethargy to be seen anywhere. [c-notes recorded in office] 5/24/2001

sanctuary |
When we went out to the compost pile
to dump in the vegetable scraps Linda was barking at the noise as usual. But we came prepared
with 3 dog biscuit pieces for each dog. When I walked over to the fence both dogs were very
hyper. They settled down once they understood that they were going to get their dog
biscuits. This awareness puts them into a certain mode of orderliness. After we gave them their
dog biscuits, Linda stood up for an extended period in her happy dog mode to have her chest
stroked and head patted. She seems to have gotten over whatever it was that was ailing her this
morning. 5/24/2001 Thu. | |
| Entering into this decree service we are
confronted by a very heavy and dense layer of opposition that feels almost physical, like a band of
lead weight around our waist that pulls all of our energy down to that point, making us feel like our
consciousness is trapped, and we feel a certain despair that we will ever be able to escape it. But
on the 4th repetition of (12x) Tubes of Light the glow of sacred fire of peace and freedom
appeared within the fabric of our awareness at a level of (3) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity,
providing an upward pulling counterforce. By the 12th repetition, 99% of the sense of weight had
disappeared and we were within a glow of the sacred fire at level of (4) to (5). 5/24/2001 Thu. |
| The glow of the sacred fire of peace and
freedom appeared within the fabric of our awareness on the 3rd repetition of (12x) 30.08,
Covenant of the Magi calls, at a level of (3) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity. At that
point we were called out of the sanctuary to perform a chore. And arriving back in the sanctuary,
and proceeding with these calls, we find that we are now confronted with what is like unto a wind
shear, which is to say a contrary force that is sweeping our awareness into a region in which this
work is vociferously condemned and opposed. But by the end of the remaining (9x) repetitions,
we are back within the region of sacred fire glow at a level of (4) to (5) on the (1-12) scale of s.f.
intensity. 5/24/2001 Thu. | |
| During the entirety of our divine revelation
recollection affirmations (DRRA's), within the context of our main preamble, we found our
awareness being suffocated under yet another one of those blankets of heavy opposition whose
chief characteristic is in its power to push me into a region of sleep. We came out of it by the end
of our sword work. 5/24/2001 Thu. |
| I just wanted to note that Linda has been
barking a lot during the evening hours, which is really testing my patience. Ok. And at the same
moment that we wonder why God doesn't give us a quicker victory in the elimination of this
barking problem, the answer appears. The longer Linda continues to bark in such an exasperating
manner, the more opportunity you have to overcome all temptations to feel irritated. After all, it
was you who have said many times that "there is never any justification for irritation." While it
can be understood that there are many factors that can trigger it, there is never a justification for it.
The importance of this point of self-control cannot be underestimated. And upon reflection, we
note that there does exist some very solid circumstantial factors that work to stabilize our feeling
world in this respect, for example, we are making progress with Linda, and we are given to
understand that at some point we will be able to expand upon that progress to solve the wider
dimensions of the problem, and of course there is the revelation of compassion given to us by our
God Presence. All this taken together allows us to conclude that we will just have to grin and bear
it in regards to the other situations in which we can see no progress in regards to Linda's barking
behavior. 5/24/2001 Thu. | |
| We have experienced more heavy burdens
of opposition through our (45x) Michael calls, without relief, and into our violet flame calls as
well. We came out of the 15 minute period of violet flame calls with the burden largely (but not
completely) consumed, with the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom extent within our
awareness at a level of (3) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity. 5/24/2001 Thu. |
|
The glow of the sacred fire of peace and
freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness at a level of (5) on the (1-12) scale of s.f.
intensity, on the 10th repetition of this set of (15x) Hail Mary's. 5/24/2001 Thu. | |

Daily Prayers
in the U.S. House
May 25, 2001 | Daily Prayers in the U.S. Senate
May 25,
2001 | Captain Leroy Gilbert, CHC, USN, The Chaplain of the Coast
Guard, offered the following prayer:
Eternal God, before transacting the business of this country, we the
people of the United States of America reverently pause to invoke Your blessings and presence
upon the Representatives and the proceedings of this House today.
Lord, we are most grateful for our system of government inspired into
existence by Your divine principles of humanity, service, freedom, equality and justice for all.
May Members of this governing body propose, debate, chisel and bring
forth bills and ideas that are pleasing in Your sight and serve as a beacon of light to other nations
of what can be accomplished by a country whose motto is ``In God We Trust.''
Lord, we live in a rapidly changing world and we are faced with
challenges that compel our country to make changes. Nevertheless, grant us the wisdom that our
first response to a changing world will not be, ``How should it be changed?'' but ``What do we
stand for that should never change,'' and then figure out how to change everything else.
As the decisionmakers in Congress contemplate the best course of action
for the future of America, may the words of 2 Chronicles 7:14 be planted in their minds and
hearts.
``If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and
will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.''
May God bless America. In Thy name we pray. Amen. | The PRESIDING OFFICER. Today's prayer will be offered by
our guest Chaplain, Father Paul Lavin, of St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Washington, DC.
prayer
The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
In the book of the prophet Amos, the Lord tells us:
I hate and despise your feasts,
I want none of your burnt offerings.
Let me have no more of the din of your chanting,
No more of your strumming on harps.
But let justice flow like water,
And integrity like an unfailing stream.
Let us pray.
Lord God, we praise You and bless You for the many gifts You have
given to the United States, and for the gifts You have given to the men and women who serve in
the Senate. Let our feasts be to come to the aid of the poor and the oppressed. Let our song be to
practice justice, and let our sacrifice be the offering of a humble and contrite heart. Then, when
our lips sing Your praise, You will listen to our song.
Amen. |

| Prayer in the public schools is a taxing
issue. If you inculcate in the children a belief in the relevance of God, they will naturally rely on
God to solve their problems instead of relying on the government. But if you teach the children
that God is irrelevant, a void is left in the target area of the soul's devotional nature, and that target
area will inevitably be filled by the power of government, and thus government becomes their god
to whom they look for the solution to every problem. And as the people cry out for the
government to solve more and more of their problems, the government must keep raising taxes to
fund these "problem solving" programs. Because government cannot really solve any problems,
the problems persist, requiring the current level of taxation to remain unchanged. But problems
that remain unsolved will fester and that will create more problems, and the people will cry out to
the government to solve these new problems, and the government will have to raise taxes to fund
these new "problem solving" programs. And again, because government cannot really solve any
problems, these new problems persist, requiring the current level of taxation to remain unchanged.
And again, these new problems that remain unsolved will fester and that will create more
problems, and the people will cry out to the government to solve these new problems, and then the
government will have to raise taxes to fund these new "problem solving" programs. And becomes
an endless cycle draping a thicker and thicker suffocating blanket of taxation upon the American
people, drawing more and more of the vital oxygen out of the people's economic life, killing it off,
until finally, the whole beast will collapse for lack of any living thing to give it sustenance. [expanded during
transcription] 5/25/2001 Fri. | |
| Government is a good thing when its doing
the right thing. But when Government is doing the wrong thing, it is a bad thing. So we must
admit that government has its lawful roles. But replacing God is not one of those roles. Those
government agencies which have been created to administer programs which attempt to solve
problems that God is supposed to solve, become the very muscles of a false god. And this false
god will have its own intrinsic survival instinct, which will continue to demand three meals a day
from the larder of the hard working American people. Thus the people's neglect of God, the
people's rejection of God, has taken physical form, and its called government bureaucracy, and
this bureaucracy has effectively enslaved the people in a literal and physical sense, because they
must labor two to three hours out of every day to feed this beast, or else. [c-notes recorded in

We got an extra two hours of sleep, for
a total of 8 eight hours, and when we woke up we were surprised, though I don't know why, that
our state of consciousness was in no better condition than when we get only six hours of sleep. As
we repeated our victory thoughtform, "God deserves my utmost respect and highest esteem," we
are still excruciatingly aware of the fact that the condition extent within our consciousness could
not be more out of step, insensitive, blind to, or unconscious of, the truth that is embodied in that
statement. Again it is like affirming the reality of a clear blue lake in the high country of the Sierra
Nevada, while immersed in a sewage treatment pond. While we were chopping up the dog
biscuits we remembered to say this: "Thank you O God my beloved Father, my beloved Mother,
for extending the gift of life to me for yet another day." The quality of our consciousness was
equally out of step with this statement, but this statement had sort of a stronger biting quality to it,
like it was a knife or a sword and that it was actually having the effect of moving some of this
astral soup aside to reveal the truth beyond. Obviously we did not feel grateful. But we were
confronted with the undeniable fact that we ought to be.
Ok. Linda did not bark at the ringing of the hand bell
inside of the garage. When we opened the garage door I think I heard one muffled woof. At our
arrival at the gate, and during the second ringing of the hand bell, Linda did not bark. When we
opened the gate and walked over to the fence, Linda let out a couple of muffled woofs. Linda did
not bark at any of the four movement of the trash barrels.
Today, in regards to Linda, her behavior trend is towards
eagerness. When it was her turn for a biscuit, the amount of time she spent checking out what
Max was chewing on was significantly less. For perhaps half of the ten biscuit feedings, Linda
went directly to the fence without bothering to check out what Max was chewing on. Though on
each of the ten biscuit feedings I had to show her the biscuit before she would stand up to get it.
But we did not have to reach down and wave the biscuit in her face for any of these feedings. She
would stand up when she saw the biscuit in my hand. We continued the practice of requiring
Linda, once she stands up, to follow the biscuit down to my pocket and back up again before she
would get the biscuit. When she finally got the biscuit we noticed that she did not get down to
chew it as fast as she usually does. This was a subtle but a noticeable difference. As we give her
the biscuit with the right hand, we are stroking her head with the left hand. And the speed with
which she disengaged from contact with our left hand was noticeably less. In other words she was
not so much in a hurry to get down and chew that biscuit. I take from this that this requirement to
follow the biscuit with her eyes for about a total of ten seconds before she gets it, is having a
positive effect in increasing her level of patience.
Max was very well behaved during this whole ritual.
Not once did he paw at Linda when it was her turn for a biscuit.
On one occasion when we were moving the trash barrels
to the outside of the gate, and I believe that this was the 3rd movement of the trash barrels, Linda
started to bark, but she was barking in the direction of the gate at a person running with a dog on a
leash. She was not barking at the movement of the trash barrels. She kept on barking in the
direction of the gate as I came back to the fence, and said "Linda! Stop that!" about three times,
and for each of those three times, she looked in my direction and she actually halted that barking
behavior for an moment. That was interesting. It gave me the impression that Linda has the
capacity to respond to voice commands. When the biscuit feeding began again she lost interest in
what she had just seen and things were back to normal.
At the end of the ritual we used the old leather collar to
get Linda into a play mode, and today this was successful. She stood up against the fence in her
happy dog mode, and enjoyed having her chest stroked. After a while she got down, and then it
was Max's turn. And after Max had his chest stroked for a while, then it was Linda's turn again.
I motioned for her to stand back up, and she did, and we stroked her chest for another couple of
minutes before she got down again, and then it was Max's turn. And after we stroked Max's chest
for awhile, we again motioned for Linda to stand back up, and she did, and we stroked her chest
for a couple more minutes. That was total of three times that she stood up to have her chest
stroked. I must observe that she really likes that, and she is exhibiting a state of pure tail wagging
happiness. And each time Linda stood up to have her chest stroked, Max would sit down and
patiently watch. Good Max. Smart Max. I appreciate Max's cooperation. This was a
substantially new development for the morning ritual. It gives me the impression that there is a
very real possibility that we can become good friends with Linda.
And I would just reflect back for a moment on the Linda
that used to be, who would run into her dog house at the approach of anyone on this side of the
fence, and just bark and bark and bark and bark, and bark herself into a frightened frenzy. I
would never have imagined back then that Linda could ever come around to considering me a
friend. I am grateful for the assistance of God and the masters and the angels for helping us to
make so much progress. [c-notes

| We would also make note of this, that
during our sunbath earlier today, a dog started to bark in the distance, and it was quite a distance,
and Linda started to bark in response to that barking. I have observed this behavior before. Also,
a large crowd of noisy children were walking down the street and Linda barked at them as they
passed by. When we observed this behavior we wondered if it were possible that our efforts
could eliminate even this kind of barking behavior. And we have to conclude that with God, all
things are possible. [c-notes recorded in

| The first tangible appearance of the glow
of the sacred fire comes approximately 6 minutes into our 15 minute period of violet flame calls,
at a level of (5) to (6) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity. By tangible I mean the
appearance of a power that infuses the quality of peace and freedom right into the fabric of
awareness where it can be experienced directly. Up to this point in the service the glow of sacred
fire had appeared on the horizon of awareness on several occasions, but it did not effect the quality
of our awareness in a tangible manner, which continued to register the various qualities of
oppression and opposition. In those situations where the awareness remains surfeited in the
qualities of the opposition, even though the sacred fire may appear on the horizon of awareness,
you cannot say, "I am now free from those negative and oppressive energies." But now I can say,
"I am now free from those negative and oppressive energies." What is freedom in this context?
The fabric of awareness is no longer directly engaged with those negative and oppressive forces.
The fabric of awareness is now engaged directly with the power and the quality of
paradise. 5/25/2001 Fri. | |
| By the end of our 15 minute period of
violet flame calls, the glow of the sacred fire of peace, freedom, and paradise, has expanded to a
level of (7) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity. Very solid. 5/25/2001
Fri. |
| This glow of the sacred fire of peace,
freedom, and paradise stayed with us in a uniform manner through the entire 20.12, I Ratify the
Judgment of Helios, call matrix, (includes 20.07 Judgment calls (5x), 20.09 Dweller calls (5x), .30
Solar Ring calls), at a level of (6) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity. 5/25/2001 Fri. | |
| This glow of the sacred fire of peace,
freedom, and paradise stayed with us through our (1x) Series in a uniform manner at a level of (5)
to (6) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity, though we experienced an expansion of the depth of this
sacred fire glow during the (1x) Illumination call. Here we were able to ponder the question of the
origin of the sacred fire glow according to the conceptual framework that we have recently
referenced above, which has the master stepping down the power of the God Presence, and the
presence of the sacred fire resident within the fabric of our awareness being the power of the God
Presence made directly manifest to the soul. 5/25/2001
Fri. |
| One of the advantages of this framework,
is that it provides an objective target for your appreciation, and it seems to me that it is a good
thing to extend appreciation to the master, and to your God Presence on a more regular basis that
you have managed to accomplish heretofore. 5/25/2001

When adherents to other faiths come
into contact with the Teachings of the Ascended Masters and the practice of the Science of the
Spoken Word, and they observe the devotees of the ascended masters engaged in the practice of
decrees either in a group setting or individually, there is one thing they need to keep in mind before
they rush to judgment, and it is this: The main principle at the center of the practice of decrees is
the same principle which is at the center of all forms of prayer, and that is, an appeal to a higher
power, a power beyond the arrogant self-sufficiency of the human ego, an appeal specifically to
the One Creator God, and the hosts of heaven who serve that God, for them to intercede in the
affairs of men to bring about the realization of true peace and harmony in the relationship between
man and God, and between all people generally. The only difference between what they might
consider to be more traditional forms of prayer within the organized churches, and the decree
work practiced by the devotees of the Ascended Masters, is that decree work, according to what
the master's teach, and because of their direct sponsorship of these prayer forms, takes this appeal
to God to a much higher level of efficacy, and because of this the devotees of the masters are
motivated to put more time and effort into it. 5/26/2001

Sat. | |
| This is the 69th consecutive day of the
Linda Healing Project. Ritual outline: We begin repeating our
victory thoughtform the minute we wake up, "God deserves my utmost respect and highest
esteem", and we continue repeating this to the point we arrive in the sanctuary.
After dressing we proceed directly to the kitchen,
remove ten dog biscuits from the jar, and chop them in half to yield a total of twenty pieces. Ten
for Linda, and ten for Max. We proceed to the sanctuary, kneel at the altar, explain our goals, and
ask for assistance. This includes a request that a squad of nature spirits and elementals be assigned
to tutor Linda in recognizing the difference between friend and foe, and sword work to cut Linda
free from her fear and all aggressive tendencies. For the final step of our prayer work, we give our
Linda Healing Prayer (15x) visualizing her cradled in our arms: "My Beloved God Presence, I
Am That I Am, please allow Linda to feel your precious friendship, your precious love, your
precious comfort, your precious peace, and your precious healing power. Please bestow upon
Linda the intelligence that will enable her to recognize the difference between friend and
foe."
We depart the sanctuary, taking the white hand bell
from the altar, proceed into the garage, ring the hand bell, open the main garage door, and walk
over to the front gate.
We ring the hand bell again, open the gate, say good
morning to Linda and Max, and walk over to the chain link fence. We feed two biscuits to each
dog and give them a pat on the head, in this order, Max, Linda, Max, Linda. We repeat "We love
you Linda/Max" as we interact with each dog.
We then open the gate and pull the two trash barrels
outside of the gate, walk back inside the gate, close the gate, and walk over to the chain link fence.
We feed two biscuits to each dog and give them a pat on the head, in this order, Max, Linda, Max,
Linda. We repeat "We love you Linda/Max" as we interact with each dog. We then open the gate,
pull the trash barrels back inside of the gate, close the gate, walk back over to the fence and give
each dog two more biscuits and a pat on the head, in this order, Max, Linda, Max,
Linda.
We then open the gate, pull the two trash barrels
outside of the gate again, walk back inside the gate, close the gate, and walk over to the chain link
fence. We feed two biscuits to each dog and give them a pat on the head, in this order, Max,
Linda, Max, Linda. We then open the gate, pull the trash barrels back inside of the gate, close the
gate, walk back over to the fence and give each dog two more biscuits and a pat on the head, in
this order, Max, Linda, Max, Linda.
That done, I say "Goodbye, have a nice day", close the
gate, ring the hand bell, walk into the garage and close the garage door.
We then proceed into the kitchen to wash our hands and
arms up to the elbow, and into the bedroom to change our clothes. |
During the giving of the (15x) Linda
Healing Prayers at the end of our prayer work in the sanctuary, on the about the 10th repetition,
the glow of the sacred fire of peace, freedom, and paradise appeared within the fabric of our
awareness at a level of (4) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity. Also, during our prayer work in the
sanctuary, we heard Linda and Max wrestling around and Linda barking at something. This means
that they will be more hyper than usual.
Linda barked at the first ringing of the hand bell inside of
the garage. And continued to bark as we walked over the gate, rang the hand bell for the second
time, walked through the gate, and over to the fence, and continued to bark as we began to feed
Max his first biscuit. Once it was Linda's turn for a biscuit she stopped barking. Linda did not
bark at the first movement of the trash barrels. Linda did bark during the second movement of the
trash barrels, but I don't think that she was barking at the movement of the trash barrels so much
as some activity outside the gate with people talking and car moving on the street. Perhaps it was a
combination of the two. Linda did not bark at the third or fourth movement of the trash barrels.
With Linda we are beginning to see a trend towards
increased eagerness when it is her turn for her biscuits. She is spending less time checking out
what Max is chewing on, and coming more quickly, and on three or four occasions, directly to the
fence for her biscuit. On one occasion she actually stood up for her biscuit before she actually saw
it in my hand, i.e. before I even got it out of my pocket. Again we are requiring her to follow the
biscuit with her eyes as I lower it down to my pocket and back up again before she gets it. And
she will do that in a very solid and predictable manner now.
Max was again very well behaved overall. Only one
time did he stand up and paw Linda when she was getting her biscuit, but he moved away before I
had a chance to say anything.
At the end of the ritual we used the old leather collar to
encourage Linda to stand up in her happy dog mode for her chest to be stroked. She was very
eager for this mode of interaction, even more so than yesterday. At one point when I was stroking
her chest and patting her head, I saw her look down at Max, and immediately go into an even
deeper mode of happiness, as if there was some kind of competition going on between them, i.e.
as if to say, "I'm getting petted and you're not, and that makes me even happier still!". During
this period Max simply sat and watched most of the time, but he did try to interfere on one
occasion, and Linda would go into her ferocious mode and drive him off and quickly come back
and stand up to be petted some more. I think we must have done about 4 to 5 chest stroking
periods with Linda, and when we left she was back at the fence standing there waiting for more.
During 2 of these chest stroking periods we were able to take a hold of both of Linda's paws and
shake them up and down a bit as well, which is a normal part of the routine with Max. This is
encouraging. This is the second day in a row where these chest stroking periods have been a very
prominent part of the end of the biscuit feeding ritual. [c-notes recorded in office] 5/26/2001
Sat. |
| During most of the a.m. decree service my
mind was generally focused on the various aspects of a new computer programming project. In
the course of the decree work we had many ideas on how to implement it which we wrote down in
our journal as they occurred to us. But in as much as these journal entries deal with a project that
is still in the conception stage, they will be transcribed into our to-do list, and therefore will not
appear within this footprint file. [c-notes
recorded in office] 5/26/2001 Sat. | |
| As we are transcribing entries dealing with
the issue of the conceptual framework that came to the forefront of our awareness on Wednesday,
May 23, 2001, which has to do with the master, in the role of mediator, extending to the soul, a
certain revelation of the reality of the God Presence in the form of the sacred fire glow, we are
aware that we have been given a couple of previous revelations that play a supporting role in our
ability to anchor this conceptual framework. We are thinking that if we did not have those previous
revelations, we would not be able to anchor this conceptual framework, that the power of
skepticism and disbelief that comprises the substrate of the carnal mind would simply not allow it.
But as we are contemplating this conceptual framework, and as we are feeling the skepticism of
the carnal mind trying to cause it to disintegrate, we are at the same time aware of the presence of
two factors that stand in defense of this conceptual framework, and we can see that our mind is
actually reaching out to pull these two factors in closer, and that these two factors are past
revelations, and we are in fact remembering these two particular revelations, which are working to
provide a supporting foundation. In regards to the first of these revelations, the sacred fire glow
came to us with the added dimesnion of the knowledge of the personal closeness of my very own
beloved God Presence, and in regards to the second revelation, we had the power of paradise
resident within the fabric of our awareness, and that particular presence of power carried the
additional knowledge that the God Presence was the source of that power. After we had these two
experience we immediately added them to the body of our divine revelation recollection
affirmations, in the form of 1) "The personal closeness of my very own beloved God Presence,
and b) "My very own beloved God Presence as the presence of paradise." I would note that
neither of these revelations carried any information regarding the role of the master as mediator.
It appears that the direct knowledge of the role of the mediator was then added onto the top of this
foundation on May 23, 2001, and now they form a single cohesive whole.
I mention this to underscore the fact that the acceptance
of the God Presence is an incremental process. That the soul moves from a condition of non-
acceptance, to a condition of full acceptance, in a gradual manner, like walking up the gradual
slope to the top of a hill. At one point in time the soul is at the bottom of the hill. At another point
in time the soul will be at the top of the hill. But during all the points in between, the soul is
somewhere on the gradually ascending slope between those two points. And this gradually
ascending slope, which is to say, the ground under the soul's feet, is comprised of progressive
revelations, incremental in nature, each of which provides an additional increment of support,
which allows the soul to take an incremental step onto higher ground, and to hold that ground
against the force of gravity that yet extends from the carnal mind. And in as much as all of these
revelations come to the soul within the context of the soul's service before the altar of the Holy
Grail, this is yet another opportunity to affirm the fact that the path of reunion with God and the
path of service before the altar are one and the same path. [c-notes recorded in office] 5/26/2001

The glow of the sacred fire of peace
and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness at a level of (4) to (5) on the (1-12) scale
of s.f. intensity, on the 5th of (5x) Tubes of Light. Here is a completely different region of
awareness from the round and round and round we go machinations of the mental body immersed
in the quest to solve an html bug on one of our footprint web pages. The problem remained
unsolved, yet here is a region of peace within the fabric of our awareness that exists
notwithstanding the fact that the problem remains unsolved. In other words, here is a power that
has a greater pull on our attention than this vortex of mental activity associated with the nearly
obsessive need to solve this computer related problem. This power of peace overcomes this
obsession, and cancels it out. [expanded
