Daily Prayers in the U.S. Senate
May 22, 2001

   Gurudev Shree Chitrabhanuji, Founder, Jain Meditation International Center, New York, New York offered the following prayer:

   Let us all join our hands, heads and hearts together and bow to all perfect and liberated souls, and to all spiritual teachers.

   Let us pray that all elected representatives of the people of this Nation be guided in their thoughts, words and actions to achieve the greatest good for all.

   Let them have a high sense of responsibility and be free from temptations of selfish interests. Let them be filled with knowledge and wisdom so that resolutions adopted and laws enacted may meet the standards of the good of our people.

   May the blessings be on our country, our government, our elected leaders in this House of Congress, and on all living beings of the world.

   May the entire universe attain bliss. May all beings be interested in one another's well being. May all faults be eliminated. May people be happy everywhere.

   Om Shanti! Shanti! Shanti!

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

   Almighty God, Sovereign of this planet within this universe among universes, by Your plan and power the Earth has revolved around the Sun, and You have blessed us with a new day. Today will be like no other day past or to come. We praise You for the privilege of being alive. Help us to trust You with all of the challenges and opportunities ahead of us today. We commit them to You. Go before us to prepare the way. We want to be so in tune with You that what we do and say will accomplish Your will.

   May we sense Your presence and make this day one of constant inner conversation with You. As the Senators practice Your presence, help them to trust You to guide their thinking. Give them a special measure of wisdom, insight, and discernment to tackle the problems that arise today. May this be a productive day as they hear and accept the psalmist's prescription for peace: Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you.--

   Psalm 55:22. Amen.

a.m. decree service in sanctuary
     "God deserves my utmost respect and highest esteem." We repeated this statement over and over from the moment we woke, to the moment we arrived in the sanctuary, and we have to marvel at how out of character our state of consciousness is compared to what we ought to be sensing and feeling if this statement is really true. There is nothing in me that bears witness to the truth of these words. This is an extra heavy cloud of morning grogginess, spiced up with the memory of a weird dream which I will not dwell on. In this world God does not exist, but we repeat our victory thoughtform nonetheless, knowing that it is true even if our state of being reflects another reality entirely. This is like affirming the reality of a crystal blue lake high in the Sierra Nevada, while you are immersed in one of the preliminary holding ponds of sewage treatment plant. But my consciousness is like unto that smelly, clouded, and repugnant mixture of waste and excrement, not all of it in liquid form. Sure, in theory we know that the glorious mountains of the Sierra Nevada exist. We've been there. But my nostrils are not reporting to me the sweet smell of the wild flowers. My eyes are not reporting to me the paradise like view that is so common on the high country trails. My senses report only, and in excruciating detail, the grotesque characteristics of this world of smelly stifling sludge. We are like a Frankenstein Monster walking up to the altar of the Holy Grail, and expecting to be transformed into an angel. Dream on. And we imagine that we can hear all the angels of heaven laughing at our audacity to even consider the possibility of such a transformation. On the (1-10) scale of morning grogginess and astral pollution, with (1) being the least clouded, and (10) being the most clouded, this condition rates an easy (10). This same scale also denote distance from divine reality with each point on the scale representing at least a million light years of vibrational separation. This distance can be measured using the standard of truth embodied in this statement: "God deserves to honored at all times and under all circumstances." Using this standard, each point on the scale indicates the degree of vibrational separation between the soul and the region of awareness in which this truth is self-evident, with (1) indicating a relatively modest distance, and (10) indicating a distance that might as well be infinite.  [expanded during transcription]  5/22/2001 Tue.
     The dream referred to above was set in our backyard. Out of the ground came a hoard of insect creatures like unto cockroaches, but they were more grotesque than cockroaches. As they came out of the ground they formed themselves into the shape of a crocodile. Then all of sudden the crocodile became a real crocodile. Which is to say that the insect substructure disappeared, and all that you could see was the skin and shape and appearance of a real crocodile. And the kitty cat was playing with this crocodile, and we could see that the crocodile was going to eat the kitty cat, and I shoved the cat away from the crocodile, and then crocodile was coming after me. That's when the alarm clock sounded.  5/22/2001 Tue.
     Against this backdrop, we were able to extend our attention with a more than ordinary amount of determination to embrace the reality of the glistening paradise that we know Helios and Vesta reside in. We were able to hold that mental picture in a consistent manner, and by the end of this 15 minute period of Helios and Vesta decrees, we found that we could coalesce the victory thoughtform in our mind, "God deserves my utmost respect and highest esteem."  5/22/2001 Tue.
     We are having visions of a truck-sized dirt clod rolling itself up and into an automatic car wash. It sets itself onto the rack, pushes the start button, and it is drawn into the swirling array of spinning brushes, and jets of soapy water, and the dirt, and the gravel, and the mud are flying everywhere. What a sight! And you are thinking, "O No! Not only is this dirt clod going to be destroyed, but we may have started a mudslide!" But out the other end of the car wash comes this gleaming white vehicle. It's all polished and glistening and sparkling. What a beautiful car! That's what a decree service is for. Or more accurately, that's what the path of initiation is for, with each set of spinning brushes and jets of soapy water corresponding to each daily decree service.  [expanded during transcription]  5/22/2001 Tue.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace, freedom, and paradise emerges within the fabric of our awareness, very specifically within the 3rd eye chakra area generally, at a level of (4) to (5) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity, about 6 minutes into our 15 minute period of I Am Light calls.  5/22/2001 Tue.
     An idea we had during our walk last night that we not have the opportunity to record is as follows: The speed at which the soul can reduce the angel of oblique offset to zero depends on two (2) things.
     First, what level of density does the soul bring into this life? In other words, how heavy and densely packed are those life experiences that represent the embodiment of high angles of oblique offset? This translates into a two part question, a) how long has the soul been embodying within the material world and b) how much effort has it made previously towards the transmutation of that substance/life patterns? If the soul comes into the current life with very little densely packed substance, or none at all, then a comparatively small amount of time will be required for the soul to achieve those minimum levels of oblique offset. But if the soul brings into the current life a substantial amount of this densely packed substance, it will require more time to achieve those minimum levels of oblique offset.
     Secondly, how much violet flame does the soul invoke on a daily basis? The more violet flame the soul invokes on a daily basis, the faster the soul will achieve the orientation of heart and mind wherein the angel of oblique offset can approach zero (0) on a consistent basis. If no violet flame is invoked by the soul, no progress can be made towards achieving low levels of oblique offset, and that is why I concluded long ago that "the violet flame is our only hope." And the masters have said as much. [expanded during transcription]  5/22/2001 Tue.
     Can you imagine any state of being that would be more desirous of possession than that which registers the awesome depth and profound wonder embodied in this truth: God deserves to be honored at all times and under all circumstances"? There is nothing to be desired more than this, than to be constantly aware of the profound depth of reality embodied in that statement.  5/22/2001 Tue.
     And of course our effort to focus on the victory thoughtform, "God deserves my utmost respect and highest esteem," represents the effort to reduce the angle of oblique offset towards zero, i.e. to train the mind and the heart to look directly at God.  5/22/2001 Tue.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom emerged within the fabric of our awareness about 6 minutes into our 30 minute period of violet flame decrees, at a level of (5) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity.  5/22/2001 Tue.

          This is the 65th consecutive day of the Linda Healing Project.
Ritual outline: We begin the ritual after our a.m. decree service, which places it generally in the early afternoon. Leaving the sanctuary we go and change our clothes, and then proceed 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.
     First of all I need to make note of the tangible and substantial resistance we feel when we arrive at the end of the sanctuary segment of this ritual where we have to give our Linda Healing Prayers (15) times. We are really being pushed by the opposition into thinking that we don't have time to do so many repetitions. But the same comments that we made previously apply. The opposition must be disregarded, and we must press on. And actually, I think that it is fair to say that the level of opposition you feel when you give that prayer is indicative of the remaining strength of the synthetic identity which embodies an angle of oblique offset substantially greater than 0 degrees, perhaps as much as 30 to 40 degrees of oblique offset. That would account for the strength of the pressure we feel to bypass these prayers. I think anything greater than 45 degrees of oblique offset would not allow you to give even a moment to such a prayer.
     Linda began to bark at the ringing of the bell inside of the garage, and she barked quite a lot as we entered into the dog pen area, and continued to bark as we gave Max his first biscuit. But she stopped barking when it was her turn to get a biscuit.
     Because the trash barrels are out at curb side because it is trash collection day, the first part of the feeding ritual and trash barrel movement is something that Linda will be unfamiliar with, and I was unrealistic to expect that things would unfold in a usual manner. At it was, on the first movement of the trash barrels, instead of moving the trash barrels outside of the gate, we had to walk out to the street and pull the trash barrels up to the gate. That extra noise got Linda to barking. When we reentered the gate Linda was barking some more, but she stopped when it was her turn to get a biscuit.
     The second movement of the trash barrels was according to the normal pattern, i.e. bringing them inside of the gate, but Linda barked quite a bit here too.
     On the third movement of the trash barrels, Linda was again barking. But on the fourth and final movement she did not bark.
     So all in all this was a major step backwards. But it is understandable because we have changed both the time of ritual, and changed the order of the ritual, two things that have upset the (fragile) stability we had built up before.
     Moreover, Linda was consistently reluctant to stand up and get her biscuits. Each time I had to reach down and wave the biscuit in front of her noise to get her to stand up and take. And each time when it was her turn she would have to first check out what Max was chewing on before I could get her attention. So what had been a positive trend towards eagerness, has completely dissolved, and has gone retrograde into uniform reluctance.
     And I have to say that our plan to expand our interaction with Linda during each one of her biscuit feedings, in terms of holding and shaking her paws before she gets the biscuit, is not really working out. First of all, we really have to be quick to grab her paws, especially her left paw with my right hand in which I have the biscuit. Her attention is so narrowly focused on the biscuit, and she knows that biscuit is in that right hand, that she is really forcefully trying to pull that paw out of my right hand. This is not good. I don't want to establish that pattern of behavior, i.e. of her fighting to get her hand away from my hand. So we need to figure out some other approach.
     Of course these changes have not effected Max in the least, expect for the fact that he is uniformly patient (apathetic?) and waits for Linda to get her biscuit before he steps up to get his. Actually at one point when it was Max's turn to get a biscuit, he just sat there, and I had to wave it in his face to get his attention. But after the next movement of the trash barrels, I found I was short the number of biscuits I needed to complete the ritual, and it turns out that I had lost count, and that Max was keeping better count than I was. He sat down at the point where I should of moved the trash barrels instead giving them each a third biscuit during that round.
     At the end of this ritual we tried to initiate a play period using the old leather collar. It worked to get them into a mode of play with each other, but they ignored me. No matter how much I waved that old collar at Linda she would not stand up in her happy dog mode to be patted. Considering other options, I saw a long stemmed onion like plant growing there by the fence with a tassel of white bell-like blossoms. I pulled that up and shook the blossomed end playfully in Linda's direction, and this she responded to. She was interested in that, and I got to see her happy dog behavior where she will veritably smile (sort of) as I was petting her. So the ritual ended ok.
     But I am considering going back to the previous schedule in which this is the first thing we do in the morning. First of all, we don't like the fact that this disrupts our work routine later in the day. Though I am such a creature of habit myself, maybe I am the one that has been trained to do this in the morning, and it won't feel comfortable doing it at any other time. But nevertheless, the work routine is disrupted, and that makes us less productive in terms of our office work. Also, while the later time frame helps in subduing Max, which allows us more time to work with Linda (because he is not jumping on her and pawing her when I am trying to give her a biscuit), the fact of the matter is that Linda is also subdued. In other words this later time frame magnifies her already reluctant nature. And I will hypothesize that when Linda is the most alert with the greatest amount of energy, and that is in the morning, that this is the better time to ingrain in her the patterns of friendliness, simply because there is more free energy to work with. Though the drawback to this is what we have already mentioned. In the morning Max has too much energy at that time of the day. He is simply all over Linda when its her turn for a biscuit. So, there is certainly a trade off here. But we will simply have to figure out what to do about Max's excessive energy, because we will not make progress with Linda if we keep this afternoon schedule. So, we have made the decision. We will return to the morning schedule.
     In terms of the extending interaction time with Linda, we will try another approach that we tried the other day. I think we will try keeping the biscuit in front of her and train her to follow it with her eyes, down to my pocket, and back up again, so that over time she will learn that the biscuit comes out of my pocket which is on this side of the fence. And this will train her to stand for an additional amount of time at the fence before she gets the biscuit. We will not try to grab her paws any more during the actual biscuit feeding process until she has developed a strong habit pattern in this regard. I am thinking that this approach will inculcate in her the idea that she will be rewarded with a biscuit only after she has done this additional "eye work", i.e. watching the biscuit go down to my pocket, and then back up again.
     In summary, we changed the schedule to the afternoon for a few reasons. The first reason was to take advantage of the fact that Max is very subdued and well behaved during the afternoon. And this was an important reason because he was really getting in the way during the morning sessions. The second reason was that we would eliminate any conflict with the dogs being fed their breakfast. The third reason was that we could record the experience nearly immediately after the ritual instead of having to wait several hours. And the fourth reason was that we could go into the session with our morning decree work already completed and the forcefield set. These all sound like good reasons, and the first reason has certainly been fulfilled. Max presents no problem in terms of interfering with Linda getting her biscuits. But all of these reasons have to give way to the fact that the afternoon session amplifies Linda's already reluctant and hesitant nature. We need to take advantage of the time when Linda is the most alert and open to learning. And that is the morning. And there's one more factor that argues for going back to the morning schedule. We have to remember that this is not just about training Linda not to bark. We have to remember that the only reason we are doing this, and not calling the county animal control people, is that we need to use this circumstance as the opportunity to re-establish a working relationship with our God Presence. And it makes good sense that the first thing you do when you get out of bed in the morning is to move into a project that has as its objective the re-establishment of a working relationship with your God Presence. [c-notes recorded in office]   5/22/2001 Tue.
p.m. decree service in sanctuary
     The first suggestion of the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears on the 4th of (12x) Tubes of Light, at a level of (1) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity, expanding to a level (3) by the 6th repetition, and expanding to a level (5) to (6) during the 11th repetition where the quality of paradise is at the forefront.  5/22/2001 Tue.
     I believe that what St. Germain concerning how the reality of the God Presence is presented to the soul, must be taken as the standard explanation for all direct experiences of the sacred fire. Yes, when you experience the glow of the sacred fire, you are experiencing the very presence of your own God Presence, but that Presence is stepped down to you by the Master, and this will continue to be the case until you have achieved fusion with your Christ Identity. St. Germain said, "Thus, we keep the flame for you by overshadowing you with our Electronic Presence, by helping you to draw down your I Am Presence so that you will receive the intimations of the Great White Brotherhood hourly and daily in your service." From Pearls of Wisdom, Vol. 28, No. 12, p. 142. This conclusion coalesced in our mind at the beginning of the first set of (15x) Hail Marys.  5/22/2001 Tue.
     When you measure the magnitude of the gratitude that the ascended masters extend to Elizabeth Clare Prophet for her years of service in the Office of the Messenger, and for the great body of Teaching she succeeded in bringing forth, a teaching that holds the very key to freedom for the entire human race, the mistakes she made are truly microscopic by comparison. St Germain said, "Therefore, I come today and I speak to your very heart, grateful for the instrument --- your Messenger and mine." Measure the gratitude of the master before you ever try to quantify the mistakes of the Messenger. From Pearls of Wisdom Vol. 28, No. 14.  [expanded during transcription]  5/22/2001 Tue.
     Of course, if you have been on the business end of one of those mistakes, especially in terms of having your person handled in what you consider to be a less than just manner by the church leadership, it is understandable how the mistake might look so big as to eclipse all other considerations. But if you practice the Teaching, and allow the larger perspective of God to descend into the cup of awareness, it is easy to forgive and forget, for truly you hold a treasure in your hands, the treasure of your own divine identity, a treasure you would not have had the opportunity to acquire if it were not for ECP's determination to serve the purposes of the Ascended Masters.  5/22/2001 Tue.
     In this regard, speaking of the role the master plays in connecting the soul with the reality of the God Presence, is this any different in principle from the service the phone company provides in connecting loved ones who are separated by vast distances? A mechanism of communication needs to be established, and the master provides the mechanism in a manner as impersonal as the telephone company.  5/22/2001 Tue.
     The glow of the sacred fire of paradise, at a level of (3) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity, appeared abruptly within the fabric of our awareness during the last repetition of this (15x) divine revelation recollection affirmation: "God my Beloved Father said to me, 'Do not be uncertain. I will be there for you.'" This energy presence is like unto the concentrated essence of roses.  5/22/2001 Tue.
     We are thinking that we might ask Archangel Michael to speak through us to Max, with the authority and power that will get Max to understand that he needs to leave Linda alone when it is her turn to get her biscuits. For example, "Max No!" and pushing him away with a firm shove.  5/22/2001 Tue.
     One of the things that we need to realize about the Bible is that the teachings contained therein were designed for the ears of a very barbaric, intolerant, and stiff necked civilization. I think it is fair to say that the level of truth you can reveal to a barbaric, intolerant, and stiff necked civilization is quite a bit different than that which can be given to a civilization that is characterized by an open mindedness, a spirit of toleration, and a general respect for the reasoning capacity of the individual, none of which existed in Biblical times. The experience of St. Stephen illustrates the fact that the teaching was really pushing the envelop for that time. And what is more, that the great bulk of church doctrine as it exists today was not only taken from this limited body of instruction meant for the eyes and ears of a barbaric, intolerant, and stiff necked civilization, but it was largely developed by those who were members of that barbaric, intolerant, and stiff necked civilization.
     Through any teaching, God says to the people, "This is the condition I find you in. And this is the condition of consciousness that I desire for you to aspire to," making sure in the process that the length of the next step that God desires for the people to take is within their current capacity to achieve.
     In this regard, one can make the case that this presupposition, concerning the state of the civilization in Biblical times, as being barbaric, intolerant, and stiff necked, is itself embodied in scripture, and that after a significant amount of time passes, and we find that the civilization has moved on to higher ground, that this inherent presupposition, which cannot be separated from the teaching itself, actually provides a halter, i.e. a certain braking action, upon the people's capacity to make additional spiritual progress. In other words, the people will tend to be drawn back into the situational premise from which the teaching proceeds, which is self-defeating in terms of the goal of the teaching, and that is why God sends new messengers to every new generation, so that the teaching can be restated to take in account the higher ground the people have achieved.
     Therefore, the idea that the Bible contains a full expose of spiritual truth is simply preposterous, or shall we say, grossly unappealing to a reasonable mind.  5/22/2001 Tue.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appeared within the fabric of our awareness on the 30th repetition of (45x) Michaels at a level of (4) to (5) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity.  5/22/2001 Tue.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace, freedom and paradise emerges within the fabric of our awareness on the 10th repetition of (15x) Hail Marys, at a level of (6) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity.  5/22/2001 Tue.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom appears within the fabric of our awareness about 2 minutes into our 15 minute period of violet flame decrees at a level of (5) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity. The sacred fire glow gradually faded out, and reappeared at a level (6) at 11 minutes into the 15 minute period, and continued on at that level to the end of the 15 minute period.  5/22/2001 Tue.
     Over the course of this 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), we have experienced the glow of the sacred fire of peace, freedom, and paradise, within the fabric of our awareness at a level of (5) to (6) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity.  5/22/2001 Tue.
     Over the course of the violet flame calls, and the 20.12 call matrix especially, we have been reconnecting with the experience that we recorded earlier during this divine revelation recollection affirmation:

The glow of the sacred fire of paradise ... appeared abruptly within the fabric of our awareness during ... this divine revelation recollection affirmation: "God my Beloved Father said to me, 'Do not be uncertain. I will be there for you.'" This energy presence is like unto the concentrated essence of roses.

As we contemplated this quality of the "concentrated essence of roses" associated with this power and presence of paradise, the quality unfolded into the very real power of love, very compelling, very powerful. Yet we experienced the point of emanation of this power of love, as a very thin thread-like opening, like unto the first hairline crack in an egg that is just beginning to open. Imagine that if the sun were inside of an egg and the egg was still intact. And everything outside of the egg was either in complete darkness or a in a condition of dim twilight. When the first crack in the egg appears, image what brilliance would shine forth from that small crack. That is an example of the power of love that we perceived issuing forth from that hairline crack. I have to say that the power of it is amazing. Our entire being is gripped by its power and drawn towards it. And here is really where the word "joy" comes into its own. The joy within that love is like unto a conflagration of millions of sun bursts. And we marvel at how such a great power can be intimated through what appears to be a very tiny aperture into the realm of reality. I can also say that I can see why the masters say that love is the key, because this power clearly transcends, and even trumps all other things. As we continue to look at this, we get the sense of the full identity of God in the power of love, awesome power, and we can see that if we could hold this vision, the great task of extending unto God the respect and esteem and honor he deserves, would be no problem at all. I am reduced to shaking my head in awestruck amazement. What can you do when faced with such an amazing reality, but just stand there, nearly dumbstruck, because you are so saturated with this condition of awe and amazement. Of course, we can see why the hosts of heaven adore and worship God. And it becomes incomprehensible to me how any angel, seeing this reality, could have ever been tempted away from God in rebellion. [expanded during transcription]  5/22/2001 Tue.

     This is day #1 of the revelation of the power of love, and of God's total identity as love.  5/22/2001 Tue.
     And again, it is amazing to consider how the master can reveal something so huge, and so awesome to the neophyte soul, and not ruffle a single feather in the process; seamless integration with the most awesome aspects of God-Reality while holding the structure of the evolving identity in perfect balance and equilibrium.  5/22/2001 Tue.
     I must say, that all of God's children, without a single exception, can and must aspire to this vision. And of course the masters are ready and willing to deliver it to every soul.  5/22/2001 Tue.
     This revelation provides a wonderful framework within which we can contemplate the means by which the revelation itself appeared upon the screen of awareness. The role of the master has never been more tangible to me than it is now. Though I would hasten to say that there is no visual or sensory evidence of the presence of the master who operates, as we are taught, as a crystal clear medium through which we have perceived this and other amazing realities.  5/22/2001 Tue.
     During this service we continued with the 2nd reading of St. Germain's dictation, Vol. 28, No. 14, but from the beginning. (We read a couple of pages before going to bed last night. But at the beginning of this service we began at the beginning. Perhaps it is accurate to say then that in regards to the first two pages of the pearl, we did the second reading last night, and we are beginning the third reading of those first two pages today, but overall, in terms of the whole pearl, putting that technical discrepancy aside, it is the second reading.)  [expanded during transcription]  5/22/2001 Tue.

     This is day #150 of the strength of many mountains, and #148 of the golden portal of the heart and the many divine cities revealed therein, and #144 of the many many fires of celebration of the glory of God, and #109 of the nourishment of God's glory spread abroad across the entire planetary body, and #100 of the garden paradise of the heart, the place where divine friends meet, where the word "cherish" describes every relationship, and #79 of the personal closeness of my very own beloved God Presence, and #71 of my very own beloved God Presence as the presence of paradise, and #58 of the heart as home, and #42 of the flaming garment of praise and adoration, encrusted with thousands of jewels of divine perception, and #38 of the sacred presence of our Father/Mother God throughout all space, and #32 of God as the center of Life, and #25 of God as our very own beloved Oasis deserving of my utmost respect, and #19 of God deserving to be honored at all times and under all circumstances, and #18 of the passion of the heart for the victory of God's will through the science of the spoken word, and #16 of the great power and treasure of the heart center, and day #9 of the great compassion of our own beloved God Presence, and day #2 of the power of love, and of God's total identity as love.  [c-notes recorded in office]  5/23/2001 Wed.
          This is the 66th 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 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.
     As indicated above we changed back to the morning schedule for this ritual.
     During the giving of the (15x) repetitions of our Linda Healing Prayer at the end of the sanctuary ritual, we must again note the presence of a powerful resistance to taking the time to say that prayer. But we must also note that on about the 6th repetition, the glow of the sacred fire of peace and freedom emerged within the fabric of our awareness at a level of about (3) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity.
     Linda did not bark at the ringing of the hand bell inside of the garage. She did not bark at the opening of the garage door, or at the second ringing of the hand bell at the gate. She did not bark at the opening of the gate. Neither did she bark as we walked over to the fence. We heard at most two muffled woofs during this process, but no barks.
     Linda did not bark at any movement of the trash barrels, neither the first, second, third or fourth.
     Max was extremely well behaved today. Not one time did he interfere with Linda when it was her turn to get a biscuit.
     In regards to the ration of eagerness to reluctance on Linda's part, we have to report that Linda showed some eagerness during only one of the biscuit feedings. For the other 9 I had to reach over the fence and wave the biscuit in her face to get her to notice the biscuit and to stand up and get it.
     Each biscuit feeding was uniformly the same. After Linda stood up against the fence to get the biscuit, we slowly withdrew the biscuit back behind the fence, down to my pocket, and then back up again, making sure Linda was following the movement along the whole course. This she did. When I lifted the biscuit back up to the top of the fence, then I would give it to her and pat her on the head at the same time. She followed the movement of the biscuit each time without getting distracted. I have a sense that this procedure will produce a good effect. I believe that she will learn from this that the biscuit comes from my pocket on the other side of the fence, and that when it is her turn to get a biscuit, that eventually she will stop checking out what Max is chewing on, and look directly for the biscuit in my hand at the top of the fence. This should also instill in her more patience so that at some point I will be able to pet her before she gets the biscuit, i.e. more like the normal routine we use with Max.
     At the end of the routine after some effort, after shaking and rattling the old leather collar at her, we got Linda to stand up in her happy dog mode. She stood up against the fence for quite a while and let me pet the upper part of her tummy, which she obviously enjoyed. Max just sat back in a very civilized manner and watched. Max was very well behaved today. And I appreciate that.
     All in all this was a good session, and we feel good about making the decision to return to the morning implementation of this ritual. Though I need to note that during the first half of the feeding ritual we found ourself interacting with the dogs through what felt like kind of a tunnel of morning grogginess. We felt the morning grogginess pressing in on our mind all around, forming the walls of a long tunnel, at the end of which was this bright scene where we could see the dog's faces and we could see our hands feeding them biscuits etc.
     I just want to note that a few days ago the last time Max got a hold of the sleeve of my sweat shirt and ripped the cuff nearly off we started to roll up the sleeves of the sweat shirt all the way up above the elbow on both arms. We probably would have done that earlier if we were not somewhat concerned that Max might want to chomp into our bare forearm. It turns out that this concern was unfounded. On the first couple of days that we did that, when Max was in his over exuberant mode, he did put his mouth around my arm on a couple of occasions, but finding no sweatshirt there, he did not bite down. Apparently he knows the difference between a piece of clothing and the flesh of a human being. At any rate, since we started to roll up our sleeves we have had no further problem with Max grabbing onto our sweat shirt. [c-notes recorded in office]  5/23/2001 Wed.
     In the midst of our office work, I want to make note of the fact that we are feeling remarkably well balanced and at peace. I am marveling at this because we had such a tough time getting through our physical exercise session earlier. We were really in an energy deficit mode. During every exercise set without exception my body was saying to me, "Oh no, not another exercise, I just don't have the energy to do that one!" But we pressed through, though it took us an extra hour to finish because we spent so much time just standing there resting in between each exercise set. And after making breakfast and eating breakfast, we were really sinking into that old "I'm too tired to do anything but sit here in front of the t.v. set. You know the routine, where the mind can imagine us sitting in front of the t.v. for hours as if it were a paradise oasis of peace and relaxation. But here we are in the midst of our work, and we feel fine.  [c-notes recorded in office]  5/23/2001 Wed.
p.m. decree service in sanctuary
     The first hint of the glow of the sacred fire emerged within the fabric of our awareness on the 5th of (12x) Tubes of Light at a level of (3) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity. By the 6th to 7th repetition, the glow of the sacred fire expanded to a level (6) to (7) with a pronounced highlight at the 3rd eye chakra area, and this remained constant unto the 12th repetition.  5/23/2001 Wed.
     Now, we did not face any substantial opposition to our altar work today. This is worth noting because it is unusual. What we did face was a mental condition in which various points of interest were aggressively calling out for our attention. These were all household related issues, so they had a powerful pulling effect upon our consciousness. There existed an implied threat that if you do not invest your attention in these areas, that something unpleasant might occur. So there was this pressure to invest our attention in not one, but at least three issues areas all at once. And in this we experienced a pressure that was dividing our attention, while at the same time we were trying to focus our attention on the work that was now before us, in particular the giving of our opening statement, and subsequent calls. Therefore, what existed within the arena of our mind, was sort of a wrestling match going on between these conflicting priorities, and that wrestling match was ongoing as we entered into our Tube of Light calls, and the scuffling continued until the moment the glow of the sacred fire appeared. Now, before the glow of the sacred fire appeared, the pressure to divide our attention was the dominant force, and the mental effort to resist this did not have any kind of a decisive effect. That is why we use the words wrestling and scuffling, denoting a condition of conflict in which neither party has the power to achieve an outright victory, and thus a situation of shifting moves and counter moves obtained. The word that describes the uncertain situation that exists during the period of time that the scuffling and wrestling is ongoing is chaos, where there is no evidence of order, and there is no evidence of a power that can establish order. Now, once the glow of the sacred fire appeared, there was instant evidence of the presence of a power that would bring peace, stillness and order. But initially we had both conditions extent for a period of time, and this gave us the opportunity to compare and contrast one to the other. Its like in a brawl in a bar. At one point you just have the brawl. But at the next point the police show up in force. As the police enter the room in force, the brawl does not instantly subside. The brawl will continue until the police actually wade into the mass of swinging arms and fists and using their batons, knock some sense into the heads of these rowdy combatants. So you have both the police, and the ongoing brawl, present in the same room at the same time. That's the way it is with this appearance of the sacred fire. Though there are some situations in which the appearance of the sacred fire will completely and instantly bring the brawl to complete stop. We have recorded such instances. But that's not what happened this time. This time, the sacred fire appeared, and the brawl continued on. Both qualities were present for a period of time in the same mental arena. Now, inherent within the glow of the sacred fire was the quality of freedom, and peace, and the assurance that you could let go of the other, i.e. disengage your energies from the wrestling match, in other words, that you did not have to heed the pressure to divide your attention at all, in as much as those pulls upon your mind are fraudulent, and that you can with absolute confidence pour all of your attention into this glow of the sacred fire. And as we disengaged, and poured our attention into the presence of the glow of the sacred fire, we were in short order set free from the scattering and chaotic effects of the former condition. The brawl ceased. The combatants disappeared. And our only reality were those qualities exuded by the glow of the sacred fire, which is peace, which is freedom, and the presence of paradise.  [expanded during transcription]  5/23/2001 Wed.
     Within this glow of the sacred fire we were also able to focus on the fact that Jesus Christ is the sponsor of the Tube of Light matrix, that the glow of the sacred fire appeared within the fabric of our awareness because of his response to the call. But we are given the assurance that while this is in fact that case, that the total desire of the master is to present the reality of the God Presence to the soul, that the role of the master in this regard will always remain transparent, and will never intrude upon the soul's communion with the reality of the God Presence. The master will never distract the attention of the soul to his own person while implementing this mode of mediation.  5/23/2001 Wed.
     So this gives you a very solid conceptual framework that provides on the one hand, the assurance of the closeness of the master, who will always be there to help the soul, and this is comforting because the soul is entering into new and unexplored territory here, and on the other hand, sets the soul free to embrace the presence of this divine power as an expression of the personal God Presence.  5/23/2001 Wed.
     One of the most important reasons to complete the divine revelation recollection affirmations (DRRA's) is that with the affirmation of each DRRA, you are re-invoking the presence of the master who sponsored the original revelation, and you give that master the opportunity to help expand your capacity to actually contain the radiant reality that lies at the very center of each of these revelations.   5/23/2001 Wed.
     We have to keep in mind that the goal of the master is not to train the soul to adore and worship the master, but to adore and worship God, as God is.   5/23/2001 Wed.
     During this 2nd set of (15x) Linda Healing Prayers, "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," the glow of the sacred fire of companionship appears within the fabric of our awareness at the crown chakra area at a level of (7) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity. Very solid, very tangible, and Linda has stopped barking.  5/23/2001 Wed.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace, freedom, and paradise emerges within the fabric of our awareness at a level of (6) to (7) on the (1-12) scale of s.f. intensity, during the 20.09 I Cast Out the Dweller on the Threshold calls (5x), 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). And we are consciously studying this manifestation of divine power within the context of the previous conceptual framework, i.e. as the extension of a certain aspect of our God Presence, through the services of the mediator, which again has to be the master Jesus Christ, in as much as Jesus Christ is the author of the 20.09 Dweller call.  5/23/2001 Wed.
     The glow of the sacred fire of peace, freedom, and paradise emerges within the fabric of our awareness at a level of (5) to (6) on the (1- 12) scale of s.f. intensity, during this last set of (15x) Hail Mary's.  5/23/2001 Wed.
     You see, it is the flow of the word that gives the master the authority to implement the mediator modality through which the reality of the God Presence can be impressed upon the awareness of the soul.  5/23/2001 Wed.

office work - late
      During our 2 lap walk tonight, we were able to contemplate in a fairly even and consistent manner, over the course of approximately 75% of our route, the general outlines of the revelation of the power of love that we were given yesterday. Actually we did this without any conscious effort to hold a thoughtform. What we were contemplating was beyond an idea, beyond thought. The reality of God as total love was simply a part of our awareness, and we could see that our being, our identity, proceeded forth from that total love. Actually, it was very obvious that everything proceeds forth from that total love. And from this perspective, we can see now another meaning for the term harmony. The self-aware consciousness of the creation ought to accurately reflect the truth concerning its origin. And this awareness of God as total love, and an awareness of our being extending from that total love, well, this seems to me to be the first, and most fundamental dimension of harmony.  [c-notes recorded in office]  5/23/2001 Wed.

     When Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes unto the Father except by me," he was speaking as an occupant of the Office of the Mediator, not as an individual. This is an example of where a particular teaching is time frame dependent. When Jesus said that, he was the occupant of the Office of the Mediator, and as far as we know, there were no other souls qualified or authorized at that time to hold that office. But as time moved on, Jesus has trained up other souls to occupy that office. And that is the case today. Every Ascended Master who has come forth as a sponsor of the path of initiation during the last fifty years or so are qualified to occupy the Office of the Mediator. This has a very specific and technical meaning. We are talking about a level of union with the Universal Christ that allows the master to step down the reality of the individual God Presence for those souls who meet the requirements of the path of initiation. [expanded during transcription]  5/23/2001 Wed.
