I Am Pleading for Your Help
in Regards to Verifying the
Fact that Olga I. Perminova
was Indeed a Member of the
Communist Party of the
Soviet Union.

January 20, 2004

Dear Friends of God, and Friends of the Ascended
Masters in Russia, and all former Soviet Republics,

I Am Pleading for Your Help in Regards to Verifying the Fact that Olga I. Perminova was Indeed a Member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Please allow me to explain to you why this is so important.

I am working on a series of articles for the Homeward Bound Journal which deal with the Russian situation. I am hoping that these articles can be completed before the end of this month (January 2004). These articles will look at the issue from many different angles. But they will all have one central point. And that is, the Montana Leadership made a mistake in dismissing the former members of the Moscow Study Group Board of Directors. Again, I feel that it is very important that the entire membership of this organization understand that the Montana Leadership made a MISTAKE. This understanding is crucial. The membership needs to understand this, so that they will be able to reach a conclusion, in their own minds, that THEY, the MEMBERS, MUST MAKE THE CALLS at the altar that will allow the Masters to intercede to undo that mistake. The Call Compels the Answer. This is the foundation of our movement of Light. If there are no calls to this end, there will be no answer.

If they don't understand, they won't make the calls, and this situation will be swept under the rug, and forgotten. But, this situation cannot be swept under the rug and forgotten! We must make a stand on this point NOW. And we must be victorious in turning THIS SITUATION around NOW. This is absolutely crucial for the future success of the Master's mission for the Summit Lighthouse, and Church Universal and Triumphant. That's right. Whether or not this organization will be able to fulfill the role designed for it, for the healing of the nations, and for the bringing in of a Golden Age that will sweep across the entire planet, pivots on this one point. I am not kidding you. This is a fact. If this situation is not set right, if this error is not reversed, and if the forces of error within the leadership are not cast out, the mission of this organization cannot be completed. This truth is as a great sun that ought to illuminate our every thought and action. Let there be no shadows.

And that leads me to the next point. And this has to do with the calls that I make at the altar in support of the Journal's work. This relates to the subject matter that we are talking about here, regarding Olga I. Perminova's membership in the Communist Party.

Near the end of my morning decree service I give my Cyclopeas ( 50.05 - 5X ), my Illumination calls ( 20.00 - 5X ), and my Purity decrees ( 40.00 - 5X ). After the preamble, but just before I actually start my Cyclopea decrees, I say, "Please Beloved Cyclopea, help me to see and understand the TRUTH in every situation I will confront this day!" And I give my Cyclopea decrees. In regards to my Illumination decrees, again, after the preamble, but before I start my Illumination decrees, I say, "Beloved Masters of the Illumination Ray, shining hearts of radiant brilliance!, PLEASE help me to see and understand the TRUTH in every situation that I will confront this day!" And then I give my Illumination decrees. (Now, my entire desire body goes into those pre-decree requests, because it is so crucial to my work. So crucial. What I write in the Journal MUST reflect the truth. I desire this with all my heart.) And then I give my Purity decrees, but the pre-decree prayer I give here is a little different. Again, after the decree preamble, but before I begin my Purity decrees, I say, "Beloved Beings of Purity's Ray, PLEASE fuse my soul with the purest flames of respect, esteem, honor, appreciation, gratitude, affection and admiration, reverence, adoration, cherishment, and love for God our Father, and our Mother, our Blessed Divine Parents, I Am That I Am." And then I start my purity decrees.

(The reason behind that particular request will be familiar to anyone who has followed my writing in the Journal).

Now, here is the point. In the midst of these Purity decrees, on Saturday morning, January 17, 2004, a statement made by Olga I. Perminova, in a letter dated January 13, 2004, about her being the head of department in a large Russian institution, was brought clearly to my mind, along with the conclusion, that in this statement, will be found the evidence that she was a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. This was the section of her letter that was highlighted in my mind at that point:

"I am the head of one of the biggest departments of one well-known Russian institution and in the same time a member of numerous international organizations and institutions and also in the same time work as deputy director of one commercial company."

The truth of the matter is, that I had NEVER considered this before. The issue of whether someone, or anyone, involved in the situation in Russia, was a member of the Communist Party, had never crossed my mind before. And moreover, the immediate project that I was involved with at that point, from the day before, and anticipating that I would continue with it that day, was the issue of the false messengership of Kim and Lorraine Michaels. I was right in the middle of drafting a paper on that issue. My mind was not geared towards the manufacturing of ideas on the Russian situation. The above point of illumination appeared, in that regard, completely out of the blue. And most importantly, the point where this concept was given birth in my mind, was there, at the altar, as I have described it, in the middle of my Purity decrees, FRAMED BY THE THREE REQUESTS THAT I HAD MADE as described.

Ok. What does that mean? It means that the Masters wanted me to be aware of this, that I should follow this up, and that this will be an important part of the case exposing the error made by the Montana Leadership when they dismissed the former Moscow Board.

In regards to the issue of DOUBT, I would like for you to consider these points. After a person makes direct requests for assistance, and gives the supporting decrees, when that inner light bulb is turned on, illuminating a particular path, I would propose to you, that it is wise to follow that path. I would further propose to you, that it is very very foolish, to plead with the Masters to give you what you need to succeed in a particular area, and then to ignore what they give you. In other words, it is very foolish in this regard, to allow the rats of doubt to eat the cheese of direct divine assistance. Of course it is true, when the cheese of divine assistance appears, the rats of doubt will always come and try to gobble up the cheese. The student must become ADEPT at guarding the cheese, and driving those rats away. The Masters understand this dilemma, this inner battle the student fights with these rats of doubt, and so they will give the student additional signs, additional inner experiences, that will allow the student to occupy the ground of certainty, and that is the case here. I was given a series of additional inner experiences that allow me to stand on the ground of certainty in regards to this path of inquiry. And I will include an exposition of that framework of experience as an addendum to the upcoming Journal article in which the issue of Olga's Communist Party membership will be discussed.

Now, why am I telling you this?

First, this information, regarding the FACT that Olga Perminova was a member of the Communist Party, will be included in one of the Journal articles I am writing. And therein I will describe in detail, why this is important. I will describe in detail what this says about the decision that the Montana Leadership made in dismissing the members of the Moscow SG Board. And it will be an important part of the whole picture. It will provide one more part of the whole puzzle, which, when the reader puts it all together, will allow them to conclude that the leadership made a big mistake in dismissing the former Moscow Board, and that this mistake must be reversed.

Understanding that, as I noted above, will inspire the reader to give the pin-point calls at the altar that will allow that mistake to be undone, and moreover, calls that will allow the Masters to release the illumination that will reveal what outer physical actions are appropriate in terms of each member's relationship to the current leadership. In additional to calls at the altar, certain things must be accomplished on the physical. What those things are, is not a subject that I will go into here.

And I will describe my source for this information, as I have just done, receiving it at the altar as I have described above, and I will include a description of the larger context of inner experience that was given to me by the Masters that enabled me to stand on the ground of certainty in this regard.

(Such descriptions, concerning how the Masters act to help shore up the resolve of their students, will serve a larger purpose in helping students to identify clearly where and when the Masters are actually trying to show the soul the right path, but where the student keeps allowing the rats of doubt to eat the cheese of inner divine assistance. This is an important lesson the students must learn, that is, how to defeat the rats of doubt that always appear to consume the cheese of inner divine assistance.)

And so, I will include a reference to this, knowing that I have been given an important jewel of truth, and I will use that jewel of truth, whether or not I can get additional outer verification. When you read about the whole framework of inner divine experience that was given to me to support this decision, you will understand why I can proceed forward, with certainty, without additional outer verification.

BUT. While I personally, do not need to have additional outer verification of this jewel of truth, many readers will need to have more outer verification. Some people will be able to stand on the ground of certainty that I stand on, as a result of reading my description of the inner experiences that were given to me in support of this jewel of truth. Others will not be able to stand on that ground of certainty, on that basis alone. They will need more tangible signs of the truth of this assertion. And I want to make every effort, for their sakes, to obtain as many points of outer verification as I can find.

And therefore, I am PLEADING with my brothers and sisters in Russia, and elsewhere throughout the former Soviet Block, who alone, are in the position of looking for, and finding points of outer verification, that will allow the whole membership to say, YES, We can See Clearly that Indeed Olga I. Perminova was a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Based upon that central point of realization, out of the light thereof, they will then be able to comprehend the implications of this fact, implications that I will set before the reader in the Journal article. And therefore, I am PLEADING with you, to help look for, and find outer points of verification for this truth.

The Masters revealed this truth to me, because they believe it is an important part of the equation, and I can understand why, and it will be my job to explain why this is important. But, we need those outer points of verification to make the case in as powerful a manner as possible. So, again, I would PLEAD with you, to help look for, and find, those outer points of verification.

I am not in the position to look for those outer points of verification. I am many thousands of miles away from where those points of verification will be found. I live in California, USA. Only Keepers of the Flame, who live in Russia, can find those outer points of verification.

And so, I PLEAD with you to go out and start looking for them. And, then, I would ask you to please report back to me, what you find. Don't try to use what you find on your own. Those points of outer verification will only be relevant, they will only have power, when presented within the overall picture. We do not want to make this a witch-hunt, when it comes to other Keepers who may have been members of the Communist Party. At this point, that is not relevant. The Masters have shown the spotlight on Olga I. Perminova, within the context of the current organizational controversy that has engulfed the Russian Congregation.

Of course it is true, that former members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, or any Communist Party of any region, or location, are not allowed to hold leadership positions in any Ascended Master organization. Not in America, not in Russia, not anywhere. This is for the safety of the organization. The Communists took a whole nation and steered it into an abyss, which nearly brought the world to the brink of total destruction. The Masters will not give them an opportunity to do the same thing in the organizations that the Masters sponsor. The Montana Leadership should have enforced this limitation in regards to Olga I. Perminova. The fact that they did not, the fact that they actually chose her to lead an Ascended Master organization, even on an interim basis, exposes yet another flaw in their decision processes. And the dimensions of this flaw, when looked at closely, will be seen to be absolutely HUGE. That is what this is all about. It is not about Olga personally. It is about the flawed decision processes of the Montana Leadership.

Former Communist Party members can be members of this organization, but they can never aspire to a leadership role, because of the weight of their past choices. They must spend their time in this organization in the role of pure service as part of the rank and file membership. This will be explained more fully in the Journal article.

Now, it goes without saying, that individuals with current ties to Communist Party organizations, are not welcome in this organization at all. Such individuals are barred from membership. Any and all ties to Communist Party organizations must be completely cut, severed, eliminated, before the Masters will accept such individuals as their students. Again, the Communists took a whole nation and steered it into an abyss, which nearly brought the world to the brink of total destruction. Given a chance, they would do it all over again.

Ketino asked me why this is an important issue now, when it was not an important issue when Olga I. Perminova served on the Board of the Moscow Study group in earlier years. Of all people, Ketino will be able to grasp the irony of her question. Did not the entry of Olga I. Perminova into the leadership of the Moscow group in former years, provide her with the platform that she used in later years to help bring about the destruction of the unity of the Russian congregation? Would all of her doubts been able to enter into the ears of the Montana Leadership, in such a powerful manner, if she was correctly identified as a former member of the Communist Party back then, and barred from any leadership role back then? And if this had been the case, would not her testimony today, regarding the supposed defects in the former Board, have been taken in a completely different light? I think you can see the reasonableness of these observations.

I believe, because I trust in the integrity of the Ascended Masters, that they had one of their faithful servants bring up this point back then, and whoever that was, that person was IGNORED. (Perhaps that person will come forth and bear witness to the truth in this regard.) And history was allowed to play itself out, from that point of ignorance forward. And we come full circle, and we get to take the test over again, a little wiser, a little better informed by our experiences. We have eaten the fruit of ignorance, and it is bitter indeed.

And would it not be a spectacle supreme, to watch the Montana Leadership make every effort to build upon that foundation of ignorance, on the foundation built from the stones of reverence and honor which they extended to the false testimony of Olga I. Perminova, and on the foundation of their appointment of her as the PRESIDENT of the new board of the new Moscow Study Group? In this spectacle, we will have the undeniable testimony that will expose the source of all those foolish ideas which fill their untethered minds.

This theme of sympathy with the psychology of Communism, is not limited to their appointment of Olga I. Perminova, as the President of the Interim Board. Let me tell you a little story.

Four years ago this month, I wrote a short article exposing the Vietnam Memorial, which was built in Washington D.C., as an altar to spinelessness sponsored by the false hierarchy. I pointed out, that this was, in all reality, a shrine that honored failure, a shrine that honored the betrayal of liberty, a shrine that honored the defeat of American resolve to stand for freedom in Vietnam. And for that reason, the memorial should be dismantled. A minister of the church wrote me, and said "Your article on the Vietnam Memorial is silly." And he had more to say. Well, I was shocked to hear a minister of our church, with its firm roots in the spirit of freedom and liberty --- sponsored as it is by the Aquarian Age Master St. Germain, whose is known in heavenly circles as the God of Freedom --- express views that represented a betrayal of freedom, and sympathy with the forces of Communism that were allowed to overrun the nation of Vietnam (1975) after the American pullout. (For those who are interested, I published a response to our misguided minister). Now, here is the point. This is the same minister that the leadership sent to lead the church sponsored 2004 New Year's Conference in Moscow, under the auspices of the new Moscow Study Group. That minister was Rev. Patrick Danahy. There were many ministers from which the leadership could have chosen to make that trip and fulfill those duties, but they chose him, a person with so little love for liberty, that he cannot feel the shame associated with the betrayal of tens of millions of our Vietnamese brothers and sisters into the arms of that Beast of Communism. And his behavior there, at the 2004 New Years Conference, was not reported as an example of a Lightbearer, but rather, as an instrument of darkness, and continued division.

And there will be more to say on this subject. There are more pieces to this puzzle.

Now, the key to taking advantage of this situation, the key to taking advantage of the opportunity that presents itself to us now, is doing everything we can to bring forth the evidence that will show conclusively, in the physical, that Olga I. Perminova was a longstanding member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

These are the facts as we know them today.

1. Currently, Olga I. Perminova, holds a position of leadership at the Lenin Library in Moscow, renamed the Russian State Library after the demise of the Soviet Union. According to staff information on the RSL library website, we see that she works within the TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT OFFICE, as the head of the "Research Centre of Document Conservation and Restoration". Clicking on her name, brings up a short resume. This gives us some information that we can use to begin our inquiry. Additional information (point 3 below) was provided by Olga in a letter she forwarded to me in response to an initial inquiry.

     Prior to the breakup of the Soviet Union, I am assuming that every person in a management position in the Lenin Library was a member of the Communist Party, without exception. This is a reasonable assumption. I mean, this is the LENIN LIBRARY for heaven sakes, the repository of all Communist "wisdom", the archive of all revolutionary "ideals". This place was practically as sacred to the Party faithful as was Lenin's tomb. Just to work there at any level had to be a feather in the cap of any Party member. Olga's short resume says she has been working there since 1985. Therefore, she was given her position there before the breakup of the Soviet Union. Would a non-party member be given the responsibility of preserving the precious documents of Communism? This seems unlikely. I mean, are they going to give a non-party member the opportunity to "inadvertently" spill a bottle of acid on a precious original manuscript authored by Marx himself?  Opps, sorry, I think there was an earthquake, and the bottle just tipped over. This does not seem plausible. When did she rise into a management role there? If she held a management position there prior to 1991, that would be prime facie evidence that she was a member of the Communist Party. Can this be verified? Is this true, or not true?

     But the same considerations would very nearly apply to the post 1991 period. Did the leadership of this library change after the breakup of the Soviet Union? I am assuming that everyone there remained in place. Bureaucrats don't voluntarily vacate their positions. And there was no post-1991 purge. If Olga was promoted to her current management level role after the breakup of the Soviet Union, she still would have been promoted by a Communist Party member, and they are, no doubt, creatures of habit. They would promote only those whom they feel comfortable with, which would be a fellow member of the Party. This would be a reasonable assumption.

     Now, the figure noted for her "years of service" is 29. But she started at the Lenin Library only in 1985. That does not add up to 29 years. What is this "years of service" refer to? Does it refer to service to the Communist Party? This is a fair assumption.

     I am wondering now, as I record these observations, if the evidence of her Party affiliation was right in front of everyone's eyes from the very beginning.

     The only other employer that this short resume refers to is Chemical and Pharmaceutical Institute. Apparently, she worked there for almost ten years (1976-1985). What was her role there? Can her activity there be tied to membership in the Communist Party?

2. Olga I. Perminova graduated with a PHD in Chemistry from an unspecified Polytechnical Institute in 1976.

In regards to this point, the starting assumption is, that in the atmosphere that existed in the Soviet Union in 1976, long before the word "reform" ever entered the Communist Lexicon, that membership in the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was a requirement for entry into at least a PHD program in a State University. This needs to be verified. Is this true, or is this not true? Was Communist Party membership required for entry into the institution itself back in the late 1960's? Was Communist Party membership required for entry into Master's program at that institution in the early 1970's? Was Communist Party membership required for entry into a PHD program at that institution in 1973? And was Communist Party membership required for a person to receive a PHD diploma in 1976? What Polytechnical Institute did Olga attend? There are many. Which one specifically did she attend? Many of the older members of the current staff of that particular Polytechnical Institute would be able to answer these questions. Though, many people need to be asked, to make sure that we are not sidetracked by the always present factor within past or present Communist Party members, to deny the truth. This is, after all, their key contribution to the life of the Russian people.

3. Olga I. Perminova was married to a Mr. Perminova, who was a trade representative for the old Soviet Regime, allowing him and Olga to travel outside the country. She mentioned travel to Denmark specifically.

In regards to this point, the assumption here is, that foreign travel was a perk (a special benefit) of Communist Party membership, given only to those who were the most loyal and faithful party members. Those who were given the opportunity to travel, were those thought least likely to defect, and the least likely to give the Communist Party a black eye in the eyes of the outside world. These were their most trusted cadres. No one got onto an airplane without showing their Communist Party membership card. This was their passport. More important than any other. From that, we are assuming that the wife of such a person, would also need to be a faithful Communist Party member. Remember that the Communist Party is a very material minded organization. Outer appearances carry great weight with them. If Mr. Perminova had a wife who refused to join the Party, thumbed her nose at the Party, thought the Party was irrelevant, this would cast a shadow of doubt upon the loyalty of Mr. Perminova himself. With that shadow of doubt cast on him, would he still be allowed to travel outside the country? This does not seem plausible. And therefore, we can assume that Mr. Perminova would NOT have allowed his wife to show any signs of rebellion against the Party. Olga I. Perminova, for the sake of her own husband's standing in the Party, would have to be a Party Member herself. These are reasonable assumptions. Can we find outer points of verification for them? Can we verify that these points are actually true?

These are the points that frame the entry way into this inquiry, though I am sure that those who actually live in Russia will be able to think of additional points of inquiry that might prove fruitful in verifying Olga I. Perminova's membership in the Communist Party.

I will end with another PLEA for the assistance of Russian Keepers of the Flame in this important work of looking for, and finding, points of outer verification, that we can use to make the case that indeed Olga I. Perminova was a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

If this letter can be translated into Russian, and distributed widely among the Russian Community of Keepers of the Flame, we will no doubt be more successful, and be successful more quickly, in this important work.

The Masters have revealed this jewel of truth to me. This jewel of truth is important to them. They believe it is a valuable part of the equation of truth that will help to expose the mistakes of the Montana Leadership, allowing those mistakes to be undone. The Ascended Masters, more than any other, desire for those mistakes to be undone. But WE must help untie the knot. Let us work together, PLEASE, let us work together to set that jewel of truth in a golden band of factual verification.

Let me close with a little story about a knot.

In years now past, when my niece came to visit, whose name is Sierra Joy, we would make a swing for her out in the back yard under the big Sycamore tree. Now, tied to a big branch of the tree, about fifteen feet overhead, was this one inch thick yellow nylon rope that I tied up there, which I would use for climbing purposes as part of my physical exercise program. It drooped down to the ground where I could get a hold of it. The rope is always there, and one day, someone suggested that we could use it make a swing for Sierra Joy. We made a swing seat out of a one inch thick piece of particle board, which we bought from the local Home Depot, already cut into the shape of circle, about 16 inches in diameter, and already finished with a coat of indestructible white paint.

I am not sure what other people would buy such pre-cut and finished circles for, but we were going to use it for a swing seat.

Into the center of this circular piece of particle board, I drilled a one inch hole for the rope to pass through.

Before Sierra Joy arrived on one of her visits, I would take the swing seat out to the back yard, to that place under the tree where the yellow rope hung down from the branch above. I would take the rope, and pass the end of it through the hole in the circular seat. And here is where the knot comes in. We needed a knot to support the seat. I would tie a knot in the rope, that would allow the swing seat to be suspended about 2 feet off the ground, where Sierra Joy could comfortably get onto it, but high enough too, where her feet would not actually touch the ground when the swing was in motion. She would climb on, and grab onto the rope that rose through the center of the seat, as we gave her the necessary pushes to make the whole thing swing. Now, she really seemed to enjoy that swing out there in the back yard under the big Sycamore tree. She would visit in the summer most often, and the grass would be emerald green, with the nectarine tree just over there giving the air a certain fruity fragrance, and so, it was a nice idyllic space for the play of a little child and the grown ups too, who made the swing work.

But when her visit was over, and she went home with her Mom, and they lived out of state, so they would not be back soon, I had to deal with the knot. And besides, I had to take the swing seat off the rope, so I could use the rope for climbing. And to do that, I had to untie that knot. I had to untie the knot that had supported the swing seat. Now, the longer Sierra had used the swing, the tighter that knot was, and the harder it was to untie. She was a little girl it was true, but that was still at least 60 pounds of dead weight pushing down on that knot every moment she was on the swing seat. And so, sometimes, well, most every time, it was very difficult to untie that knot, taking quite some time to work loose. Sometimes it took me as much as ten minutes of tugging and prying to get that knot loosened up enough so that it could be untied, allowing me to pass the rope through and out of the swing seat, setting the rope free to be used for its intended purpose.

This is the moral of the story. The longer the little child swings on the seat, having fun, and not thinking of the underlying problems, the harder that knot will be to untie. Therefore, let us all gather together around that knot, and work together to untie it, and untie it now.
