Example 3 - "He didn't wash, slept in his studio alongside his work, and though he became wealthy, ate and dressed like a pauper and worked like a dog. His homosexuality and religious fervor generated great conflict within him, and one self-portrait shows him as the flayed skin of St. Bartholomew (above right)."

 

 Example 4 - "The rulers of Florence adopted the statue as a patriotic symbol of the strength of the Florentine Republic."

 Example 5 - Cute butts - "Pygophilia is the love of buttocks. Once I stuck a burning candle in the bum of a friend of mine. His gorgeous round buns glowed in even greater beauty. Jean-Luc Hennig wrote a "Brève historie des fesses" (1995), translated that same year as "The Rear View. A Brief and Elegant History of Bottoms Through the Ages". Only one chapter though is devoted to the male behind. The most well known but certainly not the most beautiful one is made of stone: the behind of Michelangelo`s David in Florence. For many a queer this is thé place for a buns love pilgrimage. Complete schools are gathering around David so the pygophilist can compare his marble behind with cute freshmen`s butts."

 

 Example 6 - "From Michelangelo's David to Calvin Klein's hunks in briefs, the cult of the beautiful male body has been at the heart of much of gay culture."

  Example 7 - David and Me Notecard.

 

  Example 8 - Diva David Dress up Magnets.

  Example 9 - " ... if you think being gay is wrong, you may be surprised at what you find here."

 Example 10 - "Giorgio Vasari, the gay artist and writer of Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects, wrote of the sculpture, “The grace of this figure and the serenity of its pose has never been surpassed.”

 Example 11 - Play Dress up - Click and Drag to put Clothes on David.

 

 Example 12 - Dress Me Up David - Classic.

 Example 17 - "A distinctly queer presence permeates the history of the visual arts—from Michelangelo's David and homoerotic images on ancient Greek vases to Frida Kahlo's self-portraits and the photography of Claude Cahun and Robert Mapplethorpe."

 Example 18 - "This is Michelangelo’s most famous sculpture, the David. It’s important to us gay fellas because this piece, more than any other in the public’s consciousness, marks a return to the ideals of absolute beauty of Antiquity. David is an icon of the male form. He is what a man should look like. He is what the men in our culture strive to become."

 Example 19 - "On entering this a palace of lights you were confronted with a large replica statue of Michelangelo's David, a then and still Gay icon, of wonderful proportions but more closely identified artistically with the Florentine Renaissance than Ancient Rome. Oh, to have known the soldier who posed for that, as I feel certain Michelangelo did!"

 Example 20 - "So powerful is Michelangelo's image, in fact, that it has become the Western world's most pervasive symbol of male beauty and one of the staples of gay popular culture. Art critic Michael Bronski's recollection of the reproductions of Michelangelo's David that were displayed in many gay men's homes in the 1950s suggests how completely the image has been claimed by the gay community. "The Davids [sic] were not just erotically pleasing pieces of inexpensive art," he writes; "they were also signals to visitors in the know that the homeowners were homosexual, functioning as a kind of aesthetic Morse code of sexual identity." That code operates even more effectively when signaling an invitation to engage in male eros."

 Example 21 - "The biblical narrative of King David, contained in the First and Second Books of Samuel and the opening chapter of the First Book of Kings, invites the reader to visualize homoerotically the shepherd boy turned warrior and king."

 Example 22 - Michelangelo's Hunks -  "Few artists before the present era have left so clear a record of their homosexuality as Michelangelo."

 

 Example 23 - Homosexuality in Renaissance Florence - "During the Renaissance, Florence developed a reputation for being pervaded with homosexuality ..."

 Example 24 - Book List

 Example 25 - "Whether I'm purchasing a plaster cast of Michelangelo's David, the latest reprints of Gordon Merrick novels, gay porno magazines, designer clothes (designed by Gay designers, of course), or freedom rings, I am preserving for posterity the highest pinnacles of our glorious gay culture."

 Example 26 - "For the next two decades, leather bars and bathhouses proliferated around Folsom Street, while the neighborhood's narrow alleys proved ideal for cruising. Among the most popular haunts were the Ambush (which boasted its own brand of poppers), the Barracks (described by author and former Drummer editor Jack Fritscher as "a four-story maze of fantasy sex"), the Brig, Febe's (with its trademark mascot, Michelangelo's David dressed as a leatherman), and the Slot."

 Example 27 - "Plaster reproductions of Michelangelo's David, so beloved by gay men, will accent Mission-style furniture so popular with lesbians."

 Example 28 - "Stroll down Florence's picturesque Ponte Vecchio, crammed with leather shops, admire Michelangelo's David, then check out Tuscany’s nascent gay scene."

 Example 29 -  "Enjoy two full days in Florence and witness male perfection -- Michelangelo's David."

 

 Example 30 -  "This morning we visit the Bargello, the Cathedral of St. Maria del Fiore,  Academy with the statue of David by Michelangelo. The tour will proceed to Piazza Santa Croce. Piazzale Michelangelo with a magnificent view. Walk to the Duomo and Baptistery to view the "Gates of Paradise." Continue to Signoria Square and Ponte Vecchio, the "Old Bridge." Afternoon at leisure in the heart of Florence. One of the best places to relax and look at hunks is in the Florence Bathhouse an exclusively gay sauna. Hmmmmm."

 

 Example 31 - Queer on 7 Continents - "We start in Florence, Italy, home of Michelangelo's David, then sweep through the celebrated wine region of Chianti."

 

 Example 32 - GAY FLORENCE: THE ART CITY OF THE WORLD - "Michelangelo's David is on the top of visitors travelers' list of things to see."

 

 Example 33 - "In 1795 Tuscany became one of the first states in Europe to legalize homosexuality, consequently Florence is a very gay-friendly city. Welcome to Florence - the birthplace of Gay Pride ... This morning we visit the Bargello, the Cathedral of St. Maria del Fiore,  Academy with the statue of David by Michelangelo. "

     This much is for sure.  Any gay oriented travel to Florence is centered on the Statute of David.  Why?  The homosexuals want to see David's genitals close up, and his rear end, for that is the business end for homosexuals, and there is a thriving tour business to that end.

     These 33 examples represent only the tip of the iceberg.  The tip of the iceberg tells a larger story.  The whole iceberg is the whole homosexual community, numbering in the millions, global in its extent.  And inside of each homosexual mind, you have a common point of adoration, a common idol, which is Michelangelo's David.  It is an integrated point of homosexual pride. The greatest artist on earth has made their lusts not only legitimate but he has provided for those lusts a universal target.  And a stream of their life energy is pouring into David's genital and buttocks area from every one of those minds.  This is universal.  No other group of people on earth have a similar fixation. 

     Because the statue of Michelangelo's David is saturated with the vibratory action of homosexual lust, the Masters would never have approved this as focus for their students meditation.  Never. 

     Meditation upon this statue draws that rebellious vibration into the subconscious.  It draws that vibration into the subconscious through a surface channel of rebellion against the law.  Any soul who is in alignment with the law, will look at that statue, and say, it is against the law to expose the private parts of any human being in public.  These are private parts, meant to register upon the consciousness of a man and a woman bound together within the divinely sanctioned institution of holy matrimony.  This is very basic.  To allow oneself to meditate upon this statue, is to suppress that inner sense of the law, that inner need to be faithful to the law.  That act of suppression is a point of rebellion.  And through that lens of rebellion, the astral energies of the greater rebellion associated with the entire homosexual culture — which pumps their lust in the direction of that statue every day — flows into the soul's subconscious.  The obedient soul naturally looks away, knowing that the laws of modesty are violated in this statue.  The disobedient soul alone will focus its gaze upon this statue. 

     And when this falsehood is promulgated, that this statue is an approved object of meditation for ascended master students, here we have a mechanism for instilling disobedience and rebellion, where none existed in the first place.  Or, perhaps adding additional momentum to an already existing momentum of disobedience and rebellion.

     In a very early dictation by Beloved Jesus Christ, delivered through Mark Prophet, he set forth a very fundamental principle of life, a common theme throughout all subsequent Teaching, which forms the foundation of our analysis of this situation.  He said, " .... for your attention held upon any person, place, condition or thing is allowing your very life—that very instant—to flow unreservedly into that upon which attention is fixed." [Pearls of Wisdom, Vol. 2  No. 11, Jesus Christ, March 20, 1959 ]

     Now, this goes for everyone.  This principle is operating in the world of each homosexual who looks at that statue, or keeps the image of the statue in his mind.   And that homosexual is sending the energy of his soul stamped with the most base form of lust and rebellion that is known on the planet today.  Therefore, as millions of homosexuals send their energy into the statue every day, that statue becomes literally charged with that energy, saturated with that energy.  All of the molecules and atoms of which that statue is composed, are literally dripping with that lust energy.  And because it long ago reached the saturation point, and simply cannot hold any more of that energy, there is probably a very large grid and forcefield of that astral energy floating in orbit around that statue.  That statue is probably one of the greatest focal points of darkness there is on this planet.  It is literally a shrine for homosexuals. 

     Now, for those of us who have no conscious connection to the homosexual community, as we look upon this monument, we extend our attention towards it, and when we do that, we also extend the energy of our soul in that direction.  And as we do this, in our innocence, we desire to gain something out of the experience.  Our soul desires to derive some kind of meaning from the experience, and in this, we have the return current.  In this, you have horizontal figure eight flow.  And that flow is at the level of your soul's comprehension of nakedness.  Because that is what you are looking at.  You are looking at nakedness.  This overpowers all other considerations.  And moreover, you are at a level of disobedience, having swept aside the mandates of modesty.  And the figure eight flow is that level, of nakedness, of disobedience.  And what you draw back towards yourself, at that wavelength, is an energy stream that is further discolored and polluted by the astral forcefield that surrounds that statue, created by the homosexuals. 

     Considering the Naked Chakra Man poster specifically, this is exactly what is happening.  But there is something more than simply the pollution of consciousness.  I believe that our meditation on this figure will implant, in a subliminal manner, a very destructive lie in the subconscious of the student, which will make them believe that they can access the pure light, depicted in the pure chakras illustrated therein, while residing in the most gross state of rebellion.  It is a delusion that has people refusing to align themselves with the law, while retaining the erroneous belief that they are still somehow on the Path.  That is the message of the Naked Chakra Man.  And in this way, it works against the soul's decision formulation processes, when it is trying to make those decisions to put the dweller of pride into the flame.  This force will argue out of the subconscious, with significant power, no, you don't have to do that. You can have rebellion and you can have light.  You don't need to make the tough decisions.  And in this way the path is totally compromised.

     And just in case some people are not making a connection between the actual statue of Michelangelo's David, and a photo of that statue, or a reproduction of that statue, or an artistic rendition of that statue, as we have in the Naked Chakra Man posters, I will make note here, that another important part of this equation has to do with the law, which is stated thusly, Two factors that are equal to the same thing, are equal to each other.  All energy movement conforms to this law.  Just as all representations, in all media, of the Washington Monument, will allow the consciousness of all people to orbit around the actual structure located in Washington D.C., and just as all representations, in all media, of the Statue of Liberty,  will allow the consciousness of all people to orbit around the actual structure in New York Harbor, so to will all representations, in all media, of Michelangelo's David, allow the consciousness of all people to orbit around the actual structure of that statue located in Florence, Italy. 

     We know clearly what the Teaching is on homosexuality.  It represents the most powerful form of misqualification of light that exists.  The misuse of the lifeforce in this manner, has caused the destruction of civilizations, Sodom and Gomorrah, I believe is the most recent example.  Drawing this energy into this community through this image will help to destroy any possibility that those students who partake of this corruption, will be able to realize the victory of the mission of the Ascended Masters. 

     In a February 13, 2003, document, The Resolution Process, developed by the leadership to describe a process to adjudicate alleged violations of the church's code of conduct, under the section entitled, "Standard of Conduct Violations That Could be Reviewed through This Process", we find the following sentence.

·         Practicing homosexuality, lesbianism or bisexuality.

     There is certainly a certain irony in reading this words, at the same time that the leadership pushes a poster on the student body that ties the membership into the very center of the universe of homosexual rebellion. 

     And yet, while all of this is true, and none of it can be gainsaid, we have this interesting situation, in which it has been made to appear to be true, that the Master El Morya has told us that this statue is a fit object for our meditation.  But, from the information that I will present below, we now know that the Master never said any such thing.  This is now a fact that we all have to deal with.  The Master never said that.  And so, how did these words come to be published in that Pearl of Wisdom?  This is a matter for further investigation to be sure, not for the purpose of fault finding, or blame gaming, but for the purpose of putting a cork in this bottle, so that this kind of a mistake can never be made again. 

     The Naked Chakra Man appears in at least two places in the current Summit Lighthouse catalogue under the category of "sacred images", wallet cards, and a full size poster.

     The following eight (8) items are currently accessible through the online Summit Lighthouse Bookstore. 1) Posters: Seven Sacred Centers of Man 19" X 25". 2) Prints: Chakra Man 5"x7". 3) Card: Chakra Man. 4) Card: Chakra Man 10 pack. 5) Card: Chakras Set (9 Cards: 7 Chakras, Secret Chamber & Chakra Man). 6) Your Seven Energy Centers (pocket guide) 7) Human Aura (pocketbook). 8) Your Seven Energy Centers (Audio Book).

     This is the quote from Pearl of Wisdom, Vol. 38, No. 26, page 255:

"     Therefore, consciously direct a ray of violet flame to each of your chakras, from the base of the spine to the crown. The large violet flame poster that illustrates the chakras superimposed on Michelangelo's statue of David provides a strong visualization for clearing the chakras and raising the Kundalini.
      Visualize yourself systematically transmuting records of the ancient and near past until you have a fully cleansed temple that the Lord Christ might occupy. Yes, see yourself encircled in pulsating ovoids of violet flame, as shown on the poster. For what you see and internalize you shall become."

     Now, in my subsequent research, which I have set before the reader in the above exposition, which makes it clear that Michelangelo's David is the central icon of the homosexual universe, it dawned on me, that this research is proof positive that the Master El Morya never spoke those words, i.e. about Michelangelo's David. Yes, the words are there, in black and white, in the published pearl. But the truth is also there, out in the world, as I have set it before you. And so, given the fact that Master knows exactly what the homosexuals are fixated on, he would have never recommended this as a focus for his student's attention. Remember the words I quoted in the subtitle of this article above. I will repeat them here:

"I Am Leading All Men Away from Temptation."
"I Am Delivering All Men from Every Evil Condition."

     These are words from the I Am Lord's Prayer. This tells us what God in us is trying to do, and what God the Father is most certainly doing through the Master El Morya. He would have led us AWAY from Michelangelo's David. He would have delivered us from Michelangelo's David, given the fact that our attention on this statue ties us into the rebellion of the homosexual movement. And therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Master to have ever spoken those words.

     A close analysis of the situation verifies this conclusion. The Master El Morya did not speak those words.

     First let me again quote what is published in the Pearl of Wisdom, Vol. 38, No. 26, page 255, adding some contextual reference points. Again, these are the words that are published in the Pearl:

Words Published "     At each level of self-mastery you attain to, the daily requirement for personal and planetary transmutation by the violet flame is increased. For some, an additional prerequisite to progress is the sorting out of this and that in the unconscious and the subconscious.
      This is very important, beloved. For unless you clear the many levels of being, and specifically the issues of your psychology, you will find that the rising sacred fire will give a certain permanence to the knotty problems you desire to cast into the violet flame.
      Therefore, consciously direct a ray of violet flame to each of your chakras, from the base of the spine to the crown. The large violet flame poster that illustrates the chakras superimposed on Michelangelo's statue of David provides a strong visualization for clearing the chakras and raising the Kundalini.
      Visualize yourself systematically transmuting records of the ancient and near past until you have a fully cleansed temple that the Lord Christ might occupy. Yes, see yourself encircled in pulsating ovoids of violet flame, as shown on the poster. For what you see and internalize you shall become.
      Your goal is to have the Lord Christ of you, your Holy Christ Self, occupy your four lower bodies. If those bodies are full of debris that has been stored in the attic of the brain for centuries, there is no room whatsoever for the Christ to enter in.
      Clean house! But in the very same hour, fill the house with light. Sweep it clean, fill it with light and repeat the ritual day after day."

Words Actually Spoken "     At each level of being, there is the requirement for transmutation by the violet flame. And in some cases, the sorting out of this and that in the unconscious and the subconscious.
     This is very important, beloved. For to clear these levels, clearing the issues of your psychology, you then will not find that the sacred fire that rises does give a certain permanence to the very things which you desire to cast into the violet flame.
     Therefore direct the violet flame consciously to the points of the chakras as they are shown on your chart. Keep that chart with you, and visualize yourself systematically transmuting records of ancient and near past until you have a fully cleansed temple and the Lord Christ might occupy. The goal that you have in the four lower bodies is that the Lord Christ of you, your Holy Christ Self, might occupy those four bodies. If those bodies are full of debris stored in the attic for centuries there is no room whatsoever for the Christ to enter in.
     Clean house! But in the very same hour fill the house with light. Sweep it clean, fill it with light, and repeat the ritual day after day. "

      As you can see, the Master El Morya never mentions anything about Michelangelo's David. But yet, those words have shown up in the published dictation. Who put those words there?

      If the Messenger herself put those words there, a nefarious deed which would have been accomplished during the editing process, you will see, that I am now in the position of having to call into question the Messenger's judgment. While this is not a comfortable position to be in, this is far better than having to argue that there was an actual corruption of the transmission pathway during the course of a live dictation. I have been relieved of that duty, thank God. That would have been ten times more onerous a prospect. Thankfully, here, we only need focus on the possibility, that in the conduct of her off-platform duties, that Messenger put words into the Master's mouth, that the Master never spoke. Of course it is clear, the Master never spoke those words. But it also clear, that the Master would never countenance the inclusion of those words either.

      If she put in those words, if she put those words in there, she made a BIG MISTAKE.

      And so, I would just bring this point up, because it is very important. The Masters have mentioned that in the past, their Messengers have fallen under the influence of certain errors, and they have allowed those errors to enter into the Teaching that was distributed to the children of God, and in some cases, these errors became stones of stumbling, and that these messengers are paying the price for this, to this very day, for they must spend their time, even from ascended levels, working with those souls whose path their mistakes compromised. They are working to undo those mistakes to this very day, and while it is an unavoidable duty, it nevertheless keeps them from other areas of service that would otherwise allow a greater level of progress to be made manifest among the peoples of the earth.

      And so, we ask, what is the expression of real love in this situation, where it appears that the Messenger has made a truly grievous error? True love will expose that error to the light of day, for the benefit of everyone, and do so quickly, to make sure that no student will weave that thread of poison into their consciousness, and thereby fall away from the homeward path as a result. But just as importantly, if we feel any endearment at all for the person we call Mother, we will identify the mistake, and thereby, save her from many many centuries of labor, in an area that proved to be a great stumbling stone for many, even as it has been for one of our own.

      Having said that, there is another factor, that might tend to limit the liability of the Messenger somewhat. I will report to you, that in the process of transcribing the audio contents of dictations, that this is a very tedious process. This is a tedious process, even if you are not engaged in any decision processes that relate to the editing of the material. And so, I believe that this process is given over to others, other than the Messenger. I knew this to be true during the Camelot years, for I passed by, nearly every day, the little house where a group of students sat at their audio tape machines, doing exactly that transcription service.

      Now, when handed a transcript that has been double checked, and perhaps triple checked for accuracy, then the editing process begins. This is also a tedious and time consuming process. The question is, was any of this editing work delegated to another? If it was delegated to another, then the Messenger is somewhat off the hook. But not totally, because even if the editing process was delegated to people she "trusted", she would have to review their work, to make sure it was done correctly. Now, if she did not double check their work in this situation, perhaps she is somewhat more off the hook. But not completely, because it is her responsibility, and hers alone, to make sure that the word of the Masters goes out to the students in the most accurate way possible. This was her primary responsibility.

      And so, when it comes to saying, with certainty, that the Messenger made a mistake in this area, we have this ambiguity, related to the fact that we do not know exactly what her direct involvement was, in the placing of this reference to Michelangelo's David into this dictation. Her culpability and subsequent liability in this situation, could be pegged at one of four possible levels:

1. 100% Her Fault - She did this herself. 2. 75% Her Fault - 25% Another's - Another editor did this, but in the review process, she focused on it, clearly saw what had been done, and she approved it. 3. 50% Her Fault - 50% Another's - Another editor did this, but in her review of the work, she was distracted by other things, and skipped over this, giving the ok, without noticing the egregious error. 4. 25% Her Fault - 75% Another's - Another editor did this, but she did not review the work at all.

      As you can see, depending on the level of direct involvement, the Messenger will have some level of responsibility for undoing this problem, throughout all future generations, and we can do a service for her, by limiting the extent of the damage now. I really hope that everyone who says they love Mother, will put all of their effort into limiting the extent of damage in this area.

      And how odd it will seem to us, because of IDOLATRY alone, that those who say they love Mother, will condemn me, or anyone, who stands up with this information, denying our message totally, calling it all a lie, and thereby causing this mistake to be cast into pure gold for all time, why? because they must have a pure gold messenger, that's why, and as a result, condemn the one they purport to love, to centuries of toil and labor, as she tries to undo the dastardly and insidious effects of this mistake that could have been arrested by those who purport to be loyal to her.

     Bracketed material begins to show up in the beginning of 1988, Volume 31. Various amounts of bracketing was used in the 1988 Volume 31 pearls, from No. 1 to No. 27 [No.'s 28, 29, were unavailable for this analysis] but there is no explanation in the endnote section as to how we are to interpret this. The first explanation that I found shows up in the endnote section of No. 30, as follows:

N.B. Bracketed material denotes words unspoken yet implied by the Archangel, added by the Messenger under his direction for clarity in the published text.

     N.B. is an abbreviation for a Latin phrase, nota bene, which means that there is something important here the reader needs to look at.

     Six pearls later, in No. 36, (still 1988, Volume 31), this endnote was revised.  Brackets were added to the note in the endnote section, and the syntax was changed:

[N.B. Bracketed material denotes words unspoken yet implicit in the dictation, added by the Messenger under Archangel Uriel's direction for clarity in the published text.]

     Six pearls later, in No. 42, (still 1988, Volume 31), the wording of the endnote was changed slightly:

[N.B. Bracketed material denotes words unspoken yet implicit in the dictation, added by the Messenger under Archangel Uriel's direction for clarity in the written word.]

     This is the standard explanation that has been included in the endnote section of every Pearl, through the remainder of 1988, through 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, and into 1993.  Only the name of the Master changes to fit the particular pearl in question.

     The last Pearl, in 1993, wherein the bracketing modality was used, was Vol. 36, No. 12.  This was a dictation delivered by Archangel  Michael. Why did the bracketing stop at this point? Did this mark a shift to a "ghost" editor? What I mean is, that Elizabeth Clare Prophet put her name on things that were actually written by "ghost" writers. Some of her lectures fall into that category. I am wondering whether this shift in practice, the abrupt end of the bracketing practice denotes the adoption of a "ghost" editor.

     In the very next 1993 Pearl, (Vol. 36, No. 13), there is no bracketing used, and a new note appears in the endnote section, as follows:

[N.B. This dictation was edited for print by the Messenger under the direction of Archangel Gabriel and Hope.]

     This note, in this form, appears in all of the Volume 37, 1994 Pearls, and all of the Volume 38, 1995 Pearls. I am assuming that the practice continues in this manner until the retirement of the Messenger in 1998.

     Now, when it comes to the particular pearl we are interested in here, I was hoping to see this note disappear, indicating the Messenger had handed this duty off to someone else.  Though I suppose the note could still stay there, if she was only supervising the editing process (under the "ghost" editing scenario just mentioned). .  Nevertheless, my hope was not realized in this respect.  This note appears in the endnotes in the 1995 Pearl in question, Vol 38, No. 26 (Clean House!).

[N.B. This dictation was edited for print by the Messenger under El Morya's direction.]

     To summarize, no editing activity was made evident to the membership, from 1980 through 1987.   Bracketed material begins to show up in Pearls at the beginning of 1988, but without explanation.  The explanation for bracketing appears in the 31st Pearl for 1988.  And the explanation is refined from the 31st pearl through the 42nd pearl.  The editing/bracketing practice, and the explanation for it, remains constant for the remainder of 1988, and into 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, and into 1993.  The use of brackets to identify added material ended with the 12th pearl in 1993.  From that point on, through the remainder of 1993, through 1994, and 1995, all pearls carry a note indicating that the material has been edited by the Messenger, but without the bracketing practice, we do not know the extent of it. 

     In the Pearl under consideration here, in this particular instance, we have seen that the editing can be quite extensive.  And we have seen, that it is possible for major errors to enter into the Teaching, through this editing practice.

     I would add one more thought along these lines. The use of brackets (in the past) represents the presence of a desire to keep clear in the minds of the students, what the Master said, and what the Messenger added. In other words, the use of brackets was the expression of the desire to eliminate confusion in this area. When the brackets are not used, then there is confusion. And you can definitely see how this confusion will spread, because now, when this is clearly seen, people will have less of a sense of trust in what they are reading, especially in those dictations where brackets are not used. It is not good to inject any amount of mistrust in this regard, any amount of confusion in this regard.

     The Messenger abandoned this desire to maintain clarity in this regard, in the Pearls of Wisdom, in 1993. And therefore, we can say, that an element of confusion entered in at that point. 1993 was a pivotal year in this respect.

     But, there is another interesting point to consider, when it came to the decision to change the word "chart" to "poster." The master used the word "chart" not once, but twice. In one instance it was changed to "poster". The other instance was eliminated entirely. And the word "poster", which the Master never used once, was inserted twice by the editor, once to replace chart, and once in an area where the Master was not even talking about the chart in question.

     What kind of explanation could there be for completely eliminating a stated concept? The Master said "Keep that chart with you." That concept was totally eliminated. It was eliminated, because it was impossible, I suppose to "keep that poster with you." The editor had changed the word chart to poster, and because the poster was so big, well you couldn't expect to keep that with you, so they eliminated the words entirely! Who can defend that?

     In trying to fathom what the Master was referring to when he used the word "chart", a place to begin, would be to see how the Masters have used the word "chart" in the past. Here are the words of the Master El Morya as spoken through his Messenger:

"Therefore direct the violet flame consciously to the points of the chakras as they are shown on your chart. Keep that chart with you, and visualize yourself systematically transmuting records of ancient and near past until you have a fully cleansed temple and the Lord Christ might occupy."

     Searching Pearls On-Line using the keywords "chart OR charts OR charted OR charting" returned 275 documents. After surveying each of these documents, we find that the Masters have used the word "chart" or its derivative, in seven primary ways, and these are listed in the chart/table below according to the frequency of usage.

     What are the key characteristics of the Chart of the Presence? Everything in that chart is symbolic. This would rule out the Naked Chakra Man, because what is depicted there is not symbolic. Michelangelo's David is a real statue. And it is a statue of a real person in history.

     Moreover, the Chart of the Presence had long been reduced to the size of a wallet card, so it was very easy to keep this chart with you. So, in this sense, he could also be referring to something that had already been reduced to the size of a wallet card.

     Now, I think that when we look into this issue in depth, we will see that by the time that this dictation was delivered in 1995, that someone has already decided to bring forth the Naked Chakra Man, using Michelangelo's David, and that the Master El Morya chose his words in such a way as to provide an indicator for the Messenger, that this particular miscreation was not what the Master was referring to. Because of the realism in Michelangelo's David, this did not fit into the meaning of the word chart as the Master used it.

     And moreover, it might be, that at that point, the Naked Chakra Man miscreation, had not yet been reduced to a wallet size. And because of this, his reference to keeping the chart with you all the time, might have been intended to be another indicator to the Messenger, that the Naked Chakra Man was not what the Master was referring to, in as much as the Naked Chakra Man, because it was only in poster form at that time, could not be kept with the student at all times. Certainly, the plausibility of this theory is supported by the fact that this phrase was removed entirely. Why was it removed entirely? Because you cannot keep a poster with you at all times. And this then would tend to validate the idea that the Naked Chakra Man poster had not been reduced to a wallet size at that time.

     The image to our right is a good candidate for this. This is a graphic that was included in the Master Djwal Kul's book, Intermediate Studies of the Human Aura, published in 1976. Since this image had been around so long, there is a good possibility that it had been reduced into a wallet card by the time that the Master gave his dictation in 1995, which is about 19 years after this image was produced in this book. It fits exactly the definition and meaning of the word chart. Everything in this image is symbolic. I found the same image in a Summit Lighthouse Christmas mailing for 1991. Reduced to a small thumbnail size, indicating that the image was still alive.

     There is a good reason for keeping things symbolic when it comes to things like this. The student should not be confused into believing that the idea is to visualize something for the sake of visual accuracy. All light is associated with purpose, and all purpose associated with divine qualities. It is the qualities that we must learn to assimilate. When you can anchor a particular divine quality, that means that your chakras are working properly.

     I also believe that the running chakra man was not a proper focus for the students attention either, because the running man was not a symbol, but a real person. And given the laws of energy flow, when people focus on that graphic, they are sending energy to that particular person. I suppose that could be a good thing, for the person in the poster, but it could also be a bad thing, depending on who is sending the energy. From the standpoint of the viewer, it could also be a bad thing, if that person later falls away from the path, and becomes an electrode for rebellion. For example, if the person depicted had been Sean Prophet, you would not want to focus your attention on that poster.

     Altogether, the symbolic representation is the best for this purpose. I believe when the chart is symbolic, the target for all energy flow is on the inside of the mind, within the domain of one's own being. And that it is where it should be in this case.

     And I believe this fact, should lay to rest, the assertion of the homosexual community that Michelangelo was a homosexual himself. As we are taught, the practice of homosexuality is a practice that takes the pure light of the heart, and decelerates it, causing it to fall down the spine in vibration, and into the lower chakras, which would prohibit the rising of the light, in any amount of purity, into the upper chakras, where it must be if the soul is to contact the genius of the Christ Mind.

     Of course it is true, that no soul in a fallen state can contact the Christ Mind, without the assistance of a sponsoring Master. And because Michelangelo was clearly able to draw into manifestation so much of the beauty of God's creation, he had to be sponsored.

     But the question is, could he have been both sponsored, and a homosexual at the same time? I think not.

     The first reason, is that the Masters sponsor for a purpose. The purpose is to advance the Will of God. What is the Will of God when it comes to the homosexual community? Clearly, the Will of God is for them to come away from the behavior pattern, to stop misqualifying the lifeforce in that manner. When the Masters deal with homosexuals, it is to do what they can to set them free. And so, are they going to contribute to the acceptance of the homosexual lifetstyle among the populations of the earth, by giving people the impression that a homosexual can have their homosexuality, and the greatest gifts of God at the same time? No. If Michelangelo had any kind of a homosexual momentum going into that lifetime, he would not have been a candidate for sponsorship.

     Clearly, direct sponsorship of a homosexual, in terms of lavishing upon them great gifts of divine artistry, would have only served to confuse the homosexual himself, when it comes to the consequences of his chosen lifestyle. And confuse the world in the bargain. The Masters are not about confusing anyone.

     Secondly, the practice of homosexuality would have caused such a downward flow of energy, and represents such a state of rebellion against the law of God, that the Masters would not have been able to compensate for it. I say this because the homosexual sense of identity is a constant downward flow of energy. To compensate for it, the Master would have had to extend a constant upward flow of energy into his chakras, and if the Master did that, Michelangelo would not have been a homosexual at all. The Masters are not allowed to overide the freewill of those whom they sponsor.

     Another factor that we should consider in this respect, is that at the "heart" of homosexuality, is a virulent hatred of woman. In other words, it is a way of life, and the sustaining of a forcefield of energy that defies coming under the influence of feminine beauty. It is God's Will that man come under the influence of feminine beauty. And homosexuals defy that Will. And so, we see in Michelangelo's art, that he was able to capture feminine beauty in many respects, and this fact alone would argue decisively, in my mind, that this individual could not possbily have been a homosexual.

     As you can see from the last example of "art" given to us by Sean Prophet below (cover page for Spring Media Group), who has entered into at least a deep sympathy for the homosexual lifestyle, that the soul has lost any and all sense of divine beauty.

     Michelangelo was not perfect in his humble messengership, as we have seen. But he was a divine messenger, within the realm of art, and the Masters clearly indicate that his work, generally speaking, is a fit for the attention of Ascended Master students. This is the basic message set forth in the following three pearls.

Archangel Gabriel THE RADIANT WORD Excerpt from a dictation given in Los Angeles, September 10, 1963 Vol. 24 No. 79, November 1, 1981 "And as the tomb of materiality, which stands before the face of each of you as your own human creation and density, is rolled away and you see within that tomb the resurrected Christ of your own Holy Christ Self standing above you in the ethers, radiant with all the splendor of his glory, shining [with] the perfection of you, you will recognize that the face that you see in the mirror is not the real you at all and that the flesh that you wear can yield to the power of your Holy Christ Self as a piece of marble yielded to the hands of a Michelangelo."

     And so, who can deny the obvious inference here, that the Archangel is bearing witness to the fact that the hands of Michelangelo were animated by the Christ?

     But let not any degree of idolatry take hold of the mind in regards to this artist. Michelangelo's understanding of those spiritual principles, which are only being released in this day and age, which would have helped him to maintain these high standards in everything he did, was not with him, and therefore, he was susceptible to influences that tempted him to misuse the great talents vouchsafed to him by the Brotherhood.

     Nevertheless, here we see a reference to Michelangelo that would have had the effect upon the young Elizabeth Clare Prophet, of encouraging her pre- existing practice of looking upon Michelangelo's Statue of David in association with her first son, Sean.

Beloved Sanat Kumara and Lady Master Venus New Year's Class 1975 New Beginnings in the Flame of the Holy Spirit Vol. 42 No. 28 -- July 11, 1999 "In one generation, or perhaps two, you can see how souls welcomed in the holiness of the Holy Spirit can outpicture the very countenance of the living God. Therefore, mothers to be, fathers to be, contemplate the works of Michelangelo, the form of the body, the noble body of the Lord and ask the Almighty to impress upon that incoming form those matrices serene, statuesque." [This dictation by Sanat Kumara was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, on December 29, 1974, at the four-day New Year's Class, New Beginnings in the Flame of the Holy Spirit, held in Anaheim, California.]

     Here we see another reference to Michelangelo that would have had the effect upon the young Elizabeth Clare Prophet, of encouraging her pre- existing practice of looking upon Michelangelo's Statue of David in association with her first son, Sean.

     However, I believe the Master included a reference in this dictation, given 11 years after the previous dictation, that should have helped the Messenger to recognize the extent of her misconception in this area. In this statement, the Master referred to "the noble body of the Lord ". I believe that this is rightly interpreted to refer to Michelangelo's depiction of the Master Jesus Christ. And that this does not apply to "David". It is true, that the Biblical David was an embodiment of the soul, who later become the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. But, at the time that soul was embodied as David, that soul was not "Lord". He was David, who was to bloody his hands in many gruesome ways, and to commit outright murder, and make much karma in the process, if you will remember the story. And so, when the Masters says "the noble body of the Lord " he is not referring to the Statue of David.

     Remember that the Master El Morya counsels us to be precise. I believe this distinction comports with the spirit of precision that he advocates.

     I would also point out here, that we have an opportunity to study an interesting threefold nexus of messengers, sponsored messengers to be sure, but flawed messengers without a doubt: 1) the Biblical David, 2) the artist Michelangelo, and 3) the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet, they all come together on this one point. David was known as a Servant of God, and a loyal one at that. But did that stop him from committing murder when he found woman that he fancied? No. Michelangelo was clearly sponsored by the Brotherhood, but did that stop him from breaking the laws of modesty in many of his works, which has clearly proven a stumbling block for the world's homosexual community for 500 years? No. Elizabeth Clare Prophet has brought forth a teaching that will serve as the foundation for the Aquarian Age. But did that high and holy relationship with the Brotherhood that allowed her to be so successful in this regard, stop her from becoming fixated on a point of rebellion that has proven a stumbling block for everyone in this community? No.

Beloved Jesus Christ Become Agents of the Cosmic Christ! I, Jesus, Have Called You The Perfecting of the Soul as My Apostle The Lord's Christmas Day Address 1990 Vol. 33 No. 49 -- December 16, 1990 "Therefore know the path of the Bodhisattva. Know the sweetness and the compassion, the peace, the fierceness, the strength, the virya! Know the wisdom. Know the ability to rule the city because you rule yourself. Know the geometry of God and expand [your soul-awareness] into it as a Michelangelo. Understand that you can know many things beyond what happens to be in your outer [conscious] mind. Yes, you can contact the level of genius. And if you do not have [that level of genius developed in your four lower bodies], then let the violet flame consume all records of anger and hatred and fear [that prevent its development]! For these [vibrations], beloved, do surely consume the fineness [and the refinement] of the Mind of God within you that piercing quality, that manifestation [of needlelike rays] that is able to probe a cosmos and bring back discovery and new dimensions of thought." [This dictation by Jesus Christ was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Christmas Day, December 25, 1990, at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana.]

     Moreover, in regards to this excerpt, I can report to the reader that everything that is printed as the words of the Master, are the words of the Master, and every word that was added, which is in brackets, was not spoken by the Master. And I must say, from my own perspective, that what the Master spoke, was clear, concise, and very straightforward. I don't see any need for the added words.

     In regards to the reference to the name of Michelangelo, we are given the testimony here, that the awareness of Michelangelo's soul was able to expand into the domain of divine beauty, and to draw that beauty down into this world, and express it in his art work. Given the other principles set forth here, we can assume that Michelangelo was not encumbered by the energies of fear, anger and hatred, which are always present in homosexual men, as I noted above. This provides additional verification that Michelangelo himself, was not a homosexual.

     But more to the point at hand, this provides additional validation for the idea that Michelangelo was sponsored by the Brotherhood, and that his artwork in general is a useful focal point for the meditation of Ascended Master students. This cannot be doubted. But, just as Mark Prophet said of the teachings of the Masters of the far east, that not all that glitters is gold, we must use our discrimination to identify those areas where Michelangelo expressed the darkness of the not-self, yes, even in the midst of the process of producing works of art. In Michelangelo's David, we clearly have an example of one instance where the artistic master has departed from the reservation of divine purpose.

     I would just like to say, in more general terms, that this dictation by the Master Jesus Christ, is absolutely worth listening to. I say this for two reasons primarily.

     First, during the whole time I was listening to this, I was clearly aware, that the false messengers the Shearers, the Michaels, etc, could never deliver anything like this. These words are spoken from a perspective miles and miles above the status quo human consciousness of the multitudes, and there is resident in these words, a great magnet of love, of hope, and admonishment, that draws the soul up, if the soul would only let go of its chains. And of course, this Master is able to enlist us all in his great hope, in other words, to enlist us in the fulfillment of that great hope, that all the children of God on this planet can be swept up in the arms of God to live again, and forever withing the pure paradise regions of the heavenly estate, not in some future time, but now. The false messengers cannot speak from this perspective. This dictation is a useful standard which you can use to evaluate the teachings of any other so-called messenger. Holding them side by side, what is true gold is evident enough.

     This dictation is pure gold.

     Secondly, this dictation sets forth a very profound teaching on the mechanization consciousness, that so many in our own leadership are exhibiting right before our very eyes. I will write more about this later.

Yet Another
Threefold Nexus
 Michelangelo's David
 Elizabeth Clare Prophet
 Sean Christopher Prophet

     In the book, "Nurturing Your Baby's Soul, A Spiritual Guide for Expectant Parents", by Elizabeth Clare Prophet, compiled and Edited by Nancy Hearn and Dr. Joye Bennett , we find two references to Michelangelo.

From page 160: "The unborn baby is profoundly sensitive and can perceive the beauty, virtue and joy that the mother sees and feels as she meditates upon beautiful works of art by masters such as Michelangelo. Leonardo da Vici and Nicholas Roerich." From page 156: "Before my oldest son was born I meditated on a replica of Michelangelo's statue of David. My son now has a similar build."

     The homosexual icon status of Michelangelo's David was the same in the 1960's, as it is today, even though homosexuals were largely underground at that time. We have witness, in one of the examples above, that even in the 1950's, the presence of the statue of Michelangelo's David, was a signal for those entering a home, that homosexuality was practiced there, and the statue was meant to be a come-on in this regard.

     I would again point out what I believe to be the absolute truth in this regard. God our Father has set before us the law of modesty, and for good reason, and this creation of Michelangelo breaks that law. Those who gaze upon this statue for any length of time, are having the psychology of their soul twisted into the domain of disobedience. And along that wavelength of disobedience, the astral energies associated with the rebellion of the homosexual community flow.

     Now, I know there are many who will say that we should be able to look at the private parts of another, and not be moved one way or the other. But this is an idealism that emanates right out of the play book of the false hierarchy. It consciously ignores the truth (for the purpose of further ensnaring of souls), that what we are dealing with here, are fallen souls, whose whole life expression have already come under the decelerating influences of mortality. In other words, the great majority of the population do not know how to focus their attention for the rising of the light within their chakras. They are universally, enslaved by many varieties of downward momentums. The only exception is in the area of sexual relations between man and wife. Here, for the time that the energies are flowing, the soul experiences a certain domain of paradise. For fallen man, sex is the closest thing to paradise they know. And it is really the closest contact with God they know. And so, they remember these experiences, more than they remember anything else. And when you place a depiction of the private parts of the human anatomy before the eyes of any human being, they will deal with that visual information out of their own sexual experience. This simply cannot be escaped. Now, it is unlawful to invoke that area of experience outside the bonds of holy matrimony. That is the law. And that is why private parts are called private parts. It is true that this law has been totally shredded in this culture, and perhaps the shredding is not yet complete. But the law remains the law in the law books of heaven, and for good reason. Those who are wise, will always dress modestly. And they will encourage modesty in others. As noted, Michelangelo broke the laws of modesy in his Statue of David.

     Perhaps this was part of Sean's karma, that he had focused upon him at this stage in his development, directed into his four lower bodies by his mother's meditation, the most intense rebellion that the planet knows about, which is harbored by the homosexual community.

     How did his mother miss this vibration? First of all, Elizabeth Clare Prophet was not a messenger at that time. She had been called to be a messenger, and had only begun her training. And so, perfection in discrimination could not possibly be expected of her at that point in her life.

     Stipulating to this truth, we still need an answer to this question. How did his mother miss this vibration? What accounts for this blindness?

     What accounts for this blindness is pride. And what is the most intense and seamless pride manifest anywhere? It is the pride of the human mother. The mother looks at the child, and sees the beauty of the child as an expression of herself. She says, this is no more than a little me. The little me, is as perfect as the big me. Let me show my pictures of the little me, to everyone, so they can see how beautiful I am. The child is a reflection of the human ego of the mother. The more perfect the child is, the more perfect the mother is.

     As you are aware, the human ego does not admit to error or mistakes. And therefore, this provides a barrier for correction itself to enter into her world. This blindness associated with a mother's pride, wanted her son's body to appear like that of the statue. She even testifies that this was the result, and she makes that testimony, even in light of the fact that the Masters have told us that the form of the physical body is the least important thing to worry about. And she does this, clearly oblivious, and insensitive to the fact, that this will certainly throw a stumbling block in the path of many males, when we understand that not everyone can look like that, nor are they supposed to look like that. There are many different body types, and a person needs to be comfortable with the one he is born with. In this regard, clearly, the messenger is sewing a seed of anxiety in the minds of males, who will take her words to mean that they should look like that, and then they look in the mirror, and they don't look like that.

     And what has happened to Sean? How does the saying go? Raise up a child in the way he should go, and when he is an adult, he will not depart from it? Well, Sean has departed from his mission, turned his back on it he has, perhaps out picturing the very rebellion that his mother sewed into his four lower bodies as an infant child.

     We have been taught, that the Master Jesus came fully into his mission as the Christ, at the age of 33. I believe that this is the age that Sean Prophet turned his back on the Messengers, the Masters, and their church, leaving in 1995, at the age of 33.

     I can tell you an experience I had related to Sean Prophet in 1985. I was at Camelot on a week day on a sunny afternoon, and I was walking across the wide lawn area there, in the direction of the entrance of the Chapel of the Holy Grail. Sean and his future wife Kathleen had arrived just before me, and they were walking up the steps. While I was yet about 20 or 30 feet away, still on the lawn area if I recollect correctly, as I watched Sean and Kathleen climb the steps, I got this overwhelming impression that these two individuals were just saturated with the vibration of Rock and Roll. Just saturated.

     Now, a few years later, we see Sean Prophet delivering before our community this lengthy expose on Rock Music, and I am wondering how he has brought himself to do that, given what I had seen. But, time marches on, and it came to pass, notwithstanding all of the high hopes and dreams which the Masters held in his regard, which they lavished upon him at every opportunity, Sean Prophet turned his back upon them, upon his mission, upon the grandest opportunity ever given to any single soul in perhaps the last 50,000 years, and he left the church. This was in 1995 I believe.

     In 2000, he surfaced to the public view, beginning his own personal website, www.SeanProphet.com. This website was primarily to market his video editing services. But it includes a family section from which I will quote below.

     In 2001, he began a more (darkly) ambitious on-line journal project. It was called The Black Sun Journal. That's right, The Black Sun Journal. Beyond the fact that he liked to use this journal to talk about his anger, he also used it to make clear, that he had made an absolute about face on the issue of Rock Music. This has some very interesting implications, when compared to his extensive expose on this subject before the community, but there is another very interesting thing hidden in this journal that speaks directly to what we are talking about here.

     The first issue of the Black Sun Journal appeared in the month of September 2001. It was posted before the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, and from a look at the contents, it was in development for some time prior to this first issue. The last issue appeared June 2002. Sean published a total of eight issues. September, October, and November 2001, and January, February, March, April, and June 2002. The site stayed up, displaying the June 2002 issue, into December of 2003. At the end of December 2003, the Black Sun Journal was gone. I believe his family members must have pleaded with him to take it down, because it would have been very unhelpful in their effort to launch the EcProphet.Info website, and to attract financial contributions in that direction.

      This is the entry page, or the home page, for the Black Sun Journal:

 Example 2 - August 15, 2001 - Why is Black Sun?- "For years I have struggled with the many contradictions that life presents, from those encountered in my upbringing in a highly regimented cult environment, to the equally baffling hypocrisies of the rest of the world."

 Example 3 - October 2001 - Organized Religion - the Slippery Slope, September 29, 2001, by Sean Prophet - "Following the pattern of other first-generation cults throughout history, Church Universal and Triumphant self-destructed after the leader was discredited."

 Example 4 - The Black Lighthouse - Religion Links - [includes a link to Kenneth Paolini's FactSource.com, which was, at the time, the world's most concentrated repository of venom directed at Elizabeth Clare Prophet and Church Universal and Triumphant.]

 Example 5 - The Black Lighthouse - Insightful Books - [includes a listing for Kenneth and Talita Paolini's "400 Years of Imaginary Friends", which was their bold effort to persuade people that the Ascended Masters do not exist].

     These examples will show you, beyond a shadow of doubt, that he has been completely pulled into the astral abyss. He has a new set of priests and ministers, representing the hordes of hell now.

 Example 6 - December 24, 2000 - Christmas Letter, by Sean Prophet - [speaking of his children] "Chris is 14 ... He has really come into his own as a drummer. It is one of his favorite activities ... Nathaniel is 11 ... following in Chris' footsteps, and gets on the drums whenever he can. His band teacher at school recently asked him to be in the jazz band. He is excited, although his favorite music is still heavy metal." [speaking of a Yes concert]"At the end of June, I met my friends ... for the ultimate Yes concert road trip. We had tickets to 2 shows. It was the Masterworks tour, where they played all of their epic pieces, most of which are over 20 minutes, and some, such as "The Gates of Delirium" had not been performed live since 1974 ... I got to experience a complete energetic, spiritual, and emotional ecstasy the first night. After we drove back to KC, the second show was a relaxed analytical evening where I could appreciate the technical aspects of the show as well as take photographs. Mind and heart, Apollo and Dionysus were all satisfied. Absolutely the best concert or musical performance I've experienced in my life ... we all got to go backstage and meet the band!"

 Example 7 - [The photo Sean Prophet chose to adorn his son Christopher's web page, has Christopher displaying the Satanic hand signal. You might remember a similar depiction of John Lennon on the back of the Beatles' Yellow Submarine album. The art and music links are still active, illustrating a soul trapped in the world of heavy metal].

 Example 8 - October 2001 - Album Art, Collective Psyche Predicted Attacks, by Sean Prophet - "Dream Theater has been one of my favorite bands for years. Their music is incomparable. The closest description is a combination of Rush, Yes, and Metallica." [There is a hidden message here, but Sean doesn't get it.]

 Example 9 - February 2002 - Songs To Change the World - Compiled by Sean Prophet - "Every once in a while, I run across a song that states universal truths in a way that makes me stop and just say "Wow, if only everyone could hear, understand, and live these words, the world would be a better place." These songs have influenced my life in tremendous ways." [Includes two songs written by John Lennon, links to the lyrics works are active].

 Example 10 - March 2002 - Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (and six album reviews in one!) Reviewed by Sean Prophet - "Progressive rock has always been pigeonholed by critics and masses alike as having belonged to another time. It's been called art-rock, album rock, even lumped into that catch-all dismissal: "dinosaur rock." One thing is for sure, most people either love it or hate it. Prog rock came of age in the 1970's with groups like Yes, Jethro Tull, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Rush, Pink Floyd ... Whatever my issues with lyrics or philosophy, I respect Dream Theater as one of the most (if not THE most) outstanding musical groups in the world today."

 Example 11 - June 2002 - Vapor Trails (Rush) Reviewed by Sean Prophet - "Fitting a new work of art into one's expectations is always like breaking in a new pair of boots--be prepared for some pain and blistering before it's over. Especially if the artist is a favorite--as Rush is with me, and has had profound influence on my life."

 Example 12 - The Black Lighthouse - Music recommendations - [they speak for themselves.]

     When this individual fell from his perch, he fell through the floor, it appears to me, and into the basement.

     In response to Sean's report above, in regards to his experience during his ultimate concert tour, "I got to experience a complete energetic, spiritual, and emotional ecstasy the first night", I would like to advance a theory that might explain this. Because we need to take Sean at his word, and at the same time, to take the Masters at their word, in regards to the identity of this Rock Musicians, we need a theory that will allow both factors to fit together in an harmonious manner.

     We know that the Masters have told us, that Rock Music strips the light out of the chakras, and that this accounts for the good feelings associated with listening to Rock Music. But the question is, given the fact that Sean is certainly no longer on the path, and that he is no longer receiving any light from the Masters, which means he walks in darkness, and all of his chakras are dark, we must ask, where is this light coming from, that is being stripped out of his chakras? Or out of anybody's chakras for that matter?

     We know that each of the seven chakras corresponds to the seven rings of the Causal Body, and that the seven chakras operate as a unified sevenfold system of both divine cognition and divine expression. We know that much. And we know that on the Path of Initiation, that the soul learns to pull down and anchor within the seven chakras the treasures of the Causal Body. This is how the soul learns, with the help of the Masters, to draw heaven down into the earth, and to live in heaven, while on earth. But we also know, that the Master said long ago, that some take heaven by force. I take this to mean now, that Rock Music can crack the lock on the seven chakras, and actually cause a flow of energy right out of the soul's Causal Body, depleting the content of the Causal Body itself. That the treasures laid up in heaven can be taken by force, as long as the soul is cooperating in the process.

     As this energy of divine paradise is released out of the chakras, the soul will say, as Sean has said, "I got to experience a complete energetic, spiritual, and emotional ecstasy the first night."

     Now, I think what is really interesting here, is that clearly, the light flows out of the Causal Body, and through the chakras, and into the waiting false hierarchy collection plates. While this gives the soul a positive experience, for the time period in which the energy is flowing, and might leave the soul "satisfied" for a while thereafter, the soul will actually have descended into a deeper level of darkness, a tighter congruency with the astral plane level of the Rock Musicians themselves, and because of this, their own personal inner experiences will deteriorate the more, the quality of the inner life deteriorating the more, becoming more fearful, more anxious, feeling more distinctly the greater inner pain associated with the dissolution of the soul itself, making it more dissatisfied with life, more uneasy, more sad, more depressed, and knowing no other way to access the energies of heaven, they will be more likely to seek the Rush associated with the Rock Music and to do so more often. (And yes, sex and drugs are another way to take heaven by force). And in this respect, they will develop a level of appreciation for the Rock Musicians which borders on adoration. You can actually see that in many of the things that Sean has written. That is exactly where he is at. He is in a state of adoration of individuals who appear to be able to give him "complete energetic, spiritual, and emotional ecstasy", while in fact, they are only causing light treasures to flow out of his own Causal Body, and into their hands.

     Yes, Sean Prophet is kissing the boots of those who are in truth, thieves, stealing his treasures right out from under his nose.

     I believe we see here, that this is how souls are actually killed off. When the Causal Body has been sucked dry by these false hierarchy spiders, they leave the soul a hollow empty shell, a transient house for demons and entities to come and go as they please. In other words, because there are no further resources of light to draw from the Causal Body, the soul has no remaining capacity to reason and think along the lines of divine reality. All thoughts have become the quivering hisses of the demons that have come to live in that temple.

     It is no coincidence that Sean names his journal "The Black Sun". The Black Sun is the dweller fully resurrected. Sean was presented with the test, of whether to surrender that dweller, or become totally fused to it. He chose foolishly. In choosing dweller fusion, his soul has become fused with all of its past foolish choices, and all the pride that goes with it. Yes, a shield of heavy metal that causes the light to simply bounce off. You can see that in his haughty disrespect for all those who try to do their best to hold the line of divine virtue in society. The problem with this state of non-being, is that the dweller has never operated in a vacuum. It has always forged alliances with the sinister force. It operates on exactly that wavelength. And over these astral transmission paths, the dweller bound soul becomes only a node in the planetary dweller that stands in opposition to the oncoming tide of light. Unfortunately for Sean, that planetary dweller is destined to be swept away.

 Example 13 - December 24, 2000 - Christmas Letter, by Sean Prophet - "This year was good/bad with many interesting and exciting challenges for our ever-evolving non-traditional family." [The use of the phrase "non-traditional family" is often times used to describe a situation in which children are present, in this case from a previous marriage, but the adult now identifies himself, or herself as a homosexual. This statement is by no means dispositive, but taken with the rest of the indicators, it points in that direction.]

 Example 14 - The Black Lighthouse - Cover page [Because the following links are from the Black Lighthouse section of the Black Sun Journal, I include the cover page here.]

 Example 15 - The Black Lighthouse - Commentary Links - [Here Sean showcases a link to a columnist that is openly homosexual.] "Savage Love - Gay advice columnist Dan Savage gives a well-rounded and frank perspective on both gay and straight relationships."

 Example 16 - The Black Lighthouse - Politics Links - [Here Sean showcases a link to the largest homosexual publication in the country.] "The Advocate - National Gay and Lesbian magazine."

 Example 17 - The Black Lighthouse - Sexuality Links - "Way beyond 'Temptation Island....'" [Here Sean showcases, among other things, a link to a site where homosexuals can find other homosexuals to have sex with quickly.] "Gay men's instant hookup: m4m4sex"

 Example 18 - The Black Lighthouse - Erotica Links [these links lead to sites that no words can adequately describe. Let's say, erotic art inspired by demons. That should suffice.]

 Example 19 - October 2001 - The Roots of Fanaticism, by Sean Prophet - "Now picture these religious zealots perched on a hilltop. They look down into the valley and see throngs of non-believers. They see artists, gays, musicians, intellectuals, prostitutes, dancers, pornographers, hedonists, poets, lesbians, witches, pagans - an entire sodom and gomorrah of individualism, self-satisfaction, and Dionysian revelry ... Why is it that the secular world has no problem with others doing as they wish, including the religious? Why can't the religious fanatics be secure enough in their own convictions to ignore the secular? And given this comparison, whose FAITH in themselves is ultimately stronger? These are the questions I would like to ask Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson. If you haven't heard of their statements on the WTC tragedy, prepare to be appalled." [I find the juxtaposition of artists and gays, and poets and lesbians, very telling. What is it in a person, if it is not self-identification with homosexuality, that associates homosexuality with the highest forms of culture? This leads into his passionate harangue against Falwell and Robertson.]

 Example 20 - October 2001- Falwell and Robertson Are America's Taliban, by Sean Prophet - "Following is documentation of one of the most appalling statements ever made in the name of god or religion in the United States of America. Yes, fanaticism in the U.S. of A is alive and well." [I am including this here, because it is an example of protesting too much. Why take such offense at a direct shot at the homosexual community, if you do not see yourself as part of that community? Of course, Falwell and Robertson were on the right track, though they lacked the depth of understanding that would have allowed them to explain their positions in a coherant manner.]

 Example 21 June 2002 - Religious Insanity Files By Sean Prophet - "These two photos, published in a book about Mardi Gras, show a New Orleans priest looking kind of gay, relaxing and hanging out with a couple of guys who also look gay." [Why take the time to reproduce these photo's for your readers? What's the point? He's going out of his way to bash anything that looks like it is anti-homosexual. Why?]

 Example 22 - April 2002 - They didn't teach me THAT in Western Civ, by Erin Prophet - "I read somewhere that many famous artists, like Michelangelo, were gay, but I thought of it as a simple aberration. God will forgive Michelangelo because he did such beautiful work. And gays tend to be artistic. But to find homosexuality at the root of some of the most important ideas in Western civilization. That was a surprise." [You need to read the whole article, yes, by Erin Prophet.]

     The last item here, by Erin Prophet, is very interesting. Why would she write such a thing? " ... to find homosexuality at the root of some of the most important ideas in Western civilization ..." Come again? What in the world could have inspired her to write a pro-homosexual article to publish in the Black Sun Journal? Did the Messenger meditate on the statue of Michelangelo's David during her pregnancy with Erin? I suppose that its possible that her psychology could have been pre-formed in the direction of homosexual sympathy, in the same way it happened with Sean. That may be part of the story. But I believe another possibility is, that she has a family member who has decided that he is a homosexual, and close family members, doing what they do best, will try to be supportive.

     I was personally surprised to find out that one of my own cousins turned out to be a lesbian. I found this out when a family member mentioned that she shared an apartment with a female "partner". Oh. I am glad she lives in another state. I feel like I wouldn't want to be in the same room with her. Given the fact that I would never be inclined to travel to visit her, I am grateful that I don't need to find out whether that feeling would actually hold or not. In other words, thinking about it in the abstract is one thing. Actually have to face a flesh and blood human being is another matter entirely. I can scarcely imagine what an excruciating dilemma within which this places family members who are close to one another. I mean a brother, or a sister. That would be tough. Principles can easily be turned upside down, in favor of maintaining respectful relationships. This is how civilizations collapse incrementally.

     Given the fact that homosexual behavior patterns tie the soul into the most intense forcefield of rebellion known on the planet, associated with the direct inversion of the life force, making it impossible for them to successfully walk the Path of Initiation, it is far better to cut a family member off completely, when and if they stray into a homosexual lifestyle. This pain may by the only marker they have, whereby they can come to understand that their behavior is robbing them of the best gifts that God would otherwise give to them.

     In regards to Sean, given the depth of fusion he has attained to with these forces of rebellion, I believe it was obvious that the Messenger was completely blind to what was going on, overlooking one problem sign after another, and forced a politically correct statement out of him, in terms of the Rock and Roll issue, but in the end, he reverted to the rebellion that was more akin to what he felt his true nature to be. (Of course I understand, that I may only be describing a toenail on an elephant while standing in pitch black room with only one match lit.)

     But this much is true for sure. This presents us with an enormous mind numbing paradox when we read what the Masters said about Sean, the sermons Sean spoke to the community, and then compare those statements to the alliances of darkness which Sean has obviously forged now.

     This is the bottom line for us. The end that Sean has come to, gives you an idea of how important it is for all students to reject, totally, and completely, the Messenger's witness in regard to Michelangelo's David.

 Example 23 - Spring Media Group - This is the current home page for Sean's new business. I include it here, as an example of how the soul, as it descends more deeply into the darkness of the astral plane loses its sense of beauty, and is not aware that it has lost anything at all. Does common sense tell anyone, that this is the kind of image that you would want to set before prospective clients? I mean, this is just an old dirty suspension spring out of some junker. The only place you could find something like this is in a junkyard.

     Though there is a certain sinister focus here, in as much as the inclusion of bright light source at the center of the spring, speaks of an eye of light, feeding subliminally into the subconscious of the viewer, the upside down idea that the source of vision and truth is in the junkyard of the dweller.

     This "artwork" also shows you the truth about the relationship of homosexuality, to the capacity of the soul to express beauty. Even if we are talking only about a very well-developed sympathy for the homosexual lifestyle chosen by others, we can see that the soul has cut itself off from the region of truth where it might contact and express real beauty. What Sean has expressed here, is ugliness. And a very self-defeating ugliness, especially when you consider the fact, that what he has created here, is the cover page for a business website. He actually believes that this image will attract clients.

     And so, it has come to pass, that the association of Michelangelo's David with the forces of homosexuality began when the statue was first erected more than 500 years ago.  This statue has 500 years worth of homosexual energy charged up inside of it. 

     Of course, the level of this energy increased exponentially, when modern technology allowed its image to be multiplied endlessly, both in terms of photographic reproduction, and in terms of sculptural reproduction.   And so, this statue stinks to high heavens, in an astral sense, and anyone with a nose can smell it.  I believe that there must have been many people who found the Messenger's fixation upon this statue somewhat troubling for all of the common sense reasons I have set forth here. But why didn't anyone speak up about it?  

     I believe that people did not speak up about it, because of the force of Idolatry which was operating in their own worlds, allowing their own Christ discrimination to be trampled underfoot (by the heavy boots of doubt), in favor of this illusion of seamless authority that they perceived around the Messenger.

     The only way to penetrate through the lie, regarding the appropriateness of Michelangelo's David as a object for community meditation, is through an understanding of the law.  But when the mind is gripped by the energy of idolatry, it cannot get a grip on the law.  That's right. Study the 4/10 axis of the Cosmic Clock, and you can see why the mind cannot get a grip on the law. And so, this image has been in the face of our students for ten years now, or more, and it has not been challenged to this day, for that reason. 

     The people's sense of the law, if they ever had it, was not powerful enough, it was not strong enough, to overcome this delusion that had them believing that it was more important to have a perfect messenger, than it was to stand up for the law.   It was more important to have a messenger that could never make such a mistake, than it was to stand up for the law.  And so, the illusion of her perfection lived on in the minds of the membership, while the student's faithfulness to the law died out. And yes, here we are today, with a membership that is nearly spineless when it comes to the leadership's trampling on the law and the Teaching in front of their very faces. Yes, I again refer, among other things, to Linda Worobecs performance of a Beatles' song on the Altar of the Holy Grail in King Arthur's Court on July 4, 2003.

      Accountability itself is a law. And the people cannot get a grasp upon it. Idolatry, again, is the reason. It is that substance built up on the 4/10 axis of the Cosmic Clock, that fills the minds with alternate priorities, ways that seemth right unto a man, but lead to the death of the soul.

     Clearly Elizabeth Clare Prophet made a mistake.  What her level of complicity is, in regards to this mistake, while it appears to be quite high, is yet to be determined with precision.  But there is no doubt that a mistake has been made.

     Yes, it is indeed a mistake that has poisoned the minds of the whole community.  And if we do not arrest this mistake here and now, Elizabeth Clare Prophet will be spending many hundreds of years into the future trying to help souls find their freedom from the corruptions, in relationship to this mistake, which she was responsible, in whole, or in part, for putting on them.  True love, in us, will recognize this mistake, and work to eliminate it, and thereby help to set her free from the karmic burden associated with it.  Idolatry, will of course desire to deny that any mistake has been made at all, revealing thereby, what the actual love content is, of the idolater, which is always less than zero.

     This idolatry, that has allowed this mistake to live on for ten years, is one of the things that holds back any hope that this organization can expand.  The Masters will not expand idolatry.

     And so, that is why you can be sure, that the Ascended Masters sponsor this exposure with every single photon of light they have at their disposal.  They do not care what idols have to fall down flat.  Their students must be set free from the idolatry that has allowed them to live with corruption right in their very midst, yes, both within and without.  Obtaining this freedom, from the dweller of idolatry, is the only means whereby they can move forward on the path that will allow them to become truly and genuinely the embodied Christs, the forerunners of the Golden Age of Aquarius.

     To shatter idolatry, is to shatter delusion.  To shatter delusion, is to make room for the Light of Reality to burst forth.  And in that bursting forth of the Light of Reality, only in the midst thereof, will we see Victory.

     The first idol that must fall is this Naked Chakra Man.  Let it fall fast, and let no one shed a tear.
