      "Pegasus in Pound" By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

     After beginning work on a very special writing project last night, which I cannot talk about in any detail, I woke up this morning with my mind impressed with a single word. It was "Pegasus." It was like an odor hanging in the air that would not go away. Strong, unyielding. If my mind were a block of crystal, which is not a bad image to hold, and someone took a chisel and carved out the word "Pegasus" in bold letters, and in very sharp relief upon one face of that crystal block (head), that would correspond somewhat to this peculiar sensation, of having this word present within the mind, strongly, unmoveably present, not to be shaken off. I remembered that Pegusus was a character from Greek mythology, a horse with wings, and that was all. I came into the office this morning determined to find out more.

     That's a real gold coin of Greek origin, several hundred years BC. A quick review of various pages that came up on the Google search engine revealed a white horse with wings, that flew up to heaven and lives as a constellation in the sky up yonder to this very day. Traditionally, Pegasus has become a symbol of heavenly inspiration for poets. From what I read of the birth of Pegasus, he appears to be a metaphor for that special kind of soul freedom which allows you to travel into the higher regions, once the monster of the dweller on the threshold is slain. He was born of that battle.

     Now, in the midst of my research, I found a little jewel here, an amazing poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, "Pegasus in Pound," which I would like to share. Longfellow (1807-1882), if you will recall, is the previous embodiment of the Ascended Master Lanello, who served, prior to his ascension, as our own Messenger Mark Prophet.

Pegasus in Pound
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Once into a quiet village,
  Without haste and without heed,
In the golden prime of morning,
  Strayed the poet's winged steed.

It was Autumn, and incessant
  Piped the quails from shocks and sheaves,
And, like living coals, the apples
  Burned among the withering leaves.

Loud the clamorous bell was ringing
  From its belfry gaunt and grim;
'T was the daily call to labor,
  Not a triumph meant for him.

Not the less he saw the landscape,
  In its gleaming vapor veiled;
Not the less he breathed the odors
  That the dying leaves exhaled.

Thus, upon the village common,
  By the school-boys he was found;
And the wise men, in their wisdom,
  Put him straightway into pound.

Then the sombre village crier,
  Ringing loud his brazen bell,
Wandered down the street proclaiming
  There was an estray to sell.

And the curious country people,
  Rich and poor, and young and old,
Came in haste to see this wondrous
  Winged steed, with mane of gold.

Thus the day passed, and the evening
  Fell, with vapors cold and dim;
But it brought no food nor shelter,
  Brought no straw nor stall, for him.

Patiently, and still expectant,
  Looked he through the wooden bars,
Saw the moon rise o'er the landscape,
  Saw the tranquil, patient stars;

Till at length the bell at midnight
  Sounded from its dark abode,
And, from out a neighboring farm-yard
  Loud the cock Alectryon crowed.

Then, with nostrils wide distended,
  Breaking from his iron chain,
And unfolding far his pinions,
  To those stars he soared again.

On the morrow, when the village
  Woke to all its toil and care,
Lo! the strange steed had departed,
  And they knew not when nor where.

But they found, upon the greensward
  Where his straggling hoofs had trod,
Pure and bright, a fountain flowing
  From the hoof-marks in the sod.

From that hour, the fount unfailing
  Gladdens the whole region round,
Strengthening all who drink its waters,
  While it soothes them with its sound.

Always Victory!
Sincerely,
Your Little Brother,

      Linda Worobec on the "Subtleties of Christhood"

     Word has come to me, from one of my loyal and very much appreciated sources, that Church Manager, Rev. Linda L. Worobec gave a sermon today, before the gathered worldwide congregation on the "Subtleties of Christhood." Now, I admit it. I would have dearly loved to have heard that. Why?

     As all my readers are aware, it is my understanding that this individual is totally bound up in the dweller of pride, plotted on the 3 o'clock line of the cosmic clock, which represents the turning of the energies of Christ upside down. This conclusion is based on the manifest inability of this individual to admit to any wrong doing in the performance of a Beatles song on the Altar of the Holy Grail in King Arthur's Court on the evening of July 4, 2003. She has had 16 months to say, "I am sorry." Such a simple thing, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. The words authored by the very enemies of God could flow out of her mouth with great gusto, that is for sure. But even one tiny drip of contrition? No way. As far as that goes, the well is dry. That monolith of stubbornness which will never bend the knee to the truth, is pride. And it is not pride on the light side either. It is pride on the dark side, albeit wearing the robes of priesthood, which certainly helps to confuse the gullible, no doubt. And so I would be very interested in what the dweller of pride had to say about the "Subtleties of Christhood." That would be very interesting. And could the congregation keep a straight face while she delivered that sermon? In the interest of maintaining the confidentiality of my source, I cannot comment. But I would be happy to entertain other eyewitness reports in regard to this interesting dimension of the situation.

     But this is the most important point. I would like to put out the request, that whoever taped this sermon, I am sure there are people who do that, please email me a copy of it, so I can listen to it, and see what she has to say.

     Beyond that, I would petition the church to immediately begin posting transcripts, on the TSL website, of all sermons given in King Arthur's Court by recognized ministers, and other leaders of this church. These statements should be subject to very strict scrutiny. When we demand that these individuals show forth their light, this is one of the places where we need to look to determine whether or not they can actually manifest any. I hope the membership will join me in pushing for the posting of all sermon transcripts in the future.

     For those who are interested in the date/time stamps for these Blogger entries, this entry is posted very late on Sunday night, pushing past midnight. O yes. Someone asked me what does the word "Blogger" mean? The word "Blog" is short for web log. A blogger, then, is the term used to describe this unique occupation of keeping a web log, or blog.

Always Victory!
Sincerely,
Your Little Brother,

      Jim Bardon: When Pride Becomes More Important
      Than the Truth, the Fall is not very Far Off

     In January of 2002, the editor of this Journal contacted Jim Bardon of the Chela News to inform him that he was distributing incorrect information regarding the 1984 Violet Flame Dispensation given by Beloved Omri-Tas. I presented him with correct information, and asked him to publish a correction. No correction was ever published. And moreover, he has continued to send out the same incorrect information month after month, knowing full well that it is incorrect and misleading.

     Why would he do that? Why would he continue to present information to his readers, that he knows is incorrect and misleading? He was first challenged on this issue in January 2002. (The correspondence related to this issue is worth reading, archived here). It is now November 2004. That is approximately 33 months and counting. This represents a very considerable streak of stubborn pride. Here is an example where pride has become monumentally more important than the truth. Here is an example of where pride, and the hatred behind it (which is clearly evident in the correspondence), has become monumentally more important than the purposes of the Ascended Masters.

     Since Jim Bardon has spent the last 33 months spreading the same falsehood into the minds of his readers, I figured it was about time to speak up again. I believe that I have exhibited a considerable amount of patience in fact, having waited that long. Allow me, then, to sketch out the issue again.

     The following piece of mail arrived in the mail boxes of subscribers to the Chela News on Saturday, January 26, 2002, containing an incomplete, and therefore misleading, version of the Violet Flame Dispensation announced by the Ascended Master Omri-Tas at the conference in the Heart of the Inner Retreat in the summer of 1984:

Don't Read This If You Don't Need More Violet Flame *************************************************************
[Beloved Omri-Tas, 1984 POW, Book II, p.139]:

". . . if you will . . . give profound and loving invocations to the violet flame IN MY NAME (and please REMEMBER TO USE MY NAME, for I am the one from whose Causal Body this dispensation comes), then we will take that offering . . . [and] it shall be MULTIPLIED IN YOUR LIFE TEN TIMES! "

*************************************************************
[Ed Notes: (a) Capitals added for emphasis, (b) For example . . .

"In the name of my Mighty I AM Presence, Saint Germain,
Arcturus, Zadkiel, Kuan Yin and OMRI-TAS, I decree . . ."

[violet flame decree]

*************************************************************

     If taken at face value, the foregoing report will leave readers with the erroneous idea that the criteria for taking advantage of this dispensation included only the naming of Omri-Tas, and the giving of profound and loving invocations. But one of the most important aspects of this dispensation was left out, and that was the fifteen minute time requirement.

     The following is the full text of that section of the pearl that dealt with the fifteen minute time requirement. Those sections of the text which were selectively quoted by the Chela News are underlined:

Vol. 27 No. 50a - Beloved Omri-Tas - October 17, 1984
A Study in Christhood by the Great Initiator, XLV A
Saturate the Earth with Violet Flame!
Give the Violet Flame Fifteen Minutes a
Day and It Shall Be Multiplied Ten Times

     "Now having delivered to you a bit of the understanding of both the simplicity and the complexity of the Law, I will tell you what my dispensation is. It is this, beloved: If in all reverence, with inner attunement, a sense of yourself in your Christ Self as priest or priestess of the sacred fire, if with all your heart and deep within your heart you will take, then, fifteen minutes each day to give profound and loving invocations to the violet flame in my name (and please remember to use my name, for I am the one from whose causal body this dispensation comes), then we will take that offering, measure for measure as it is devoted, as it is profound and sincere, the very weight of its power and light. Therefore, by the quality of it, quality for quality, it shall be multiplied in your life ten times!"

. . . .

     "I would therefore further explain to you that [with] this violet flame that you give (and of course you are welcome to give more than the fifteen minutes, but the dispensation can only start once you have given the fifteen) you may use the inserts that you use with your decrees [to] the blue-flame Masters, with the Ruby Ray decrees, with the Ritual of Exorcism, and so forth."

. . . .

[Messenger: In this interim of Omri-Tas' dictation I would like to explain to you the particular requirement of this fifteen minutes of violet flame.

The fifteen minutes counts for the actual mantras given, the violet flame decrees. It does not count for the invocations or the inserts because the energy is being multiplied by the momentum you have on the violet flame, and it is being multiplied by your magnetizing the violet flame from the causal body of Omri-Tas. And your magnetization is by your heart, your love, your momentum, and the flow of the Word.

Thus, the violet flame begets the violet flame. The violet flame implements your call, your insert, your invocation. So this is precisely the way in which you should clock each fifteen-minute session.]

[This dictation by Omri-tas was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Saturday, July 7, 1984, during the ten-day conference The Flame of Freedom Speaks held in the Heart of the Inner Retreat at Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana.]

     Please compare and contrast the first and the last, and see how the reference to the 15 minute time requirement, and other points, have been edited out of the version that Jim Bardon has been distributing, lo these 33 months and more. Is there any reason on earth why the deleted words could not be included? Only a few additional words would make the quote complete.

     Of course, the issue is so clear, that it boggles the mind of any sincere ascended master student, that Jim Bardon would continue to publish the same incomplete and misleading information every month for the last 33 months and counting. Make no mistake about it. He is consciously leaving out the one piece of information that will allow the student to take advantage of the dispensation, and he does this knowingly, and he does it for 33 months. Again, the correspondence indicates the sad truth, that at least for the past 33 months, he has done this knowingly.

     Understanding, therefore, that this might be too much for someone to believe, on the face of it, this appearing to be such an outlandish proposition, I wouldn't blame anyone if they approached my assertions in this respect with considerable skepticism. And therefore, expecting to be challenged on the facts, I have compiled the documentary proof that this is indeed the case, with examples from his last 15 months worth of mailings. See the documentation here.

     What is the karma associated with knowingly and consciously misrepresenting the Teaching? What is the karma associated with leading people away from a dispensation that would have brought them forward on the path tens times faster than would have otherwise been the case? How does he make up for this setback? Well, only God and the Master's know. But this much is for sure. This foolishness must come to an end. I would pray that all those who consider themselves to be a friend of Jim Bardon, that they speak up, and quickly, and ask him to please stop doing this.

Always Victory!
Sincerely,
Your Little Brother,

      The Line That Divides A Lawful Challenge
      from the Region of Unlawful Criticism.

     There is a line that divides a lawful challenge, a lawful rebuke, from the region of unlawful criticism. The challenge is to find that line. It is the very same line that divides the real, from the unreal. Those who have a difficulty finding the latter, will also have difficulty finding the former.

     The Teachings of the Ascended Masters make it clear, that these two very distinct regions exist, even side by side. An abundance of statements can be brought forth from the text of the dictations showing that the Masters require their students to speak up and challenge error. In fact, this is part of the testing process, fundamental to the Path of Initiation, where our allegiance and faithfulness to truth itself is ascertained, over and over again, prior to the bestowal of a greater Light which comes with greater responsibilities. On the other hand, an abundance of statements can be brought forth from the text of the dictations showing that the Masters absolutely abhor criticism, condemnation, and judgment, and they forbid their students from manifesting that quality at all.

     Just one example from the lawful side of the equation.

Vol. 37 No. 45 - Beloved Jesus Christ - November 6, 1994
Close Communion - We Are Banking on the Victory!
Thanksgiving Day Address 1994

     "Understand that the exercise of God's power in executing his will takes tremendous energy and you can call it forth from your I AM Presence. Thus one who is forever soft-spoken and never speaking out against this or that injustice does not quite have the God-centeredness in the flame of the will of God to be given empowerment. Do you see, beloved ones? Therefore understand that you can speak firmly, and that firmness can be without criticism, without condemnation or judgment. But that firmness can convey the challenge of another's actions or of the individual who is not right with God. This is also your duty and your responsibility.

     In conclusion, beloved, I remind you that my disciples are always ready to help one another, to lift up one another and, in a tender but firm way, to correct some action or attitude of one who cannot see his own faults. Those who are unwilling to take the risk of making an enemy by counseling a brother or sister concerning this or that action that is wrong or unwholesome truly do not have the fire of Christ to bring others into the communion of Christ.

     It is always the responsibility of my disciples to warn, to assist, to love, to care for, to raise up and, yes, to rebuke fellow disciples who are going out of the way. And let those who receive that rebuke know that Morya's saying yet applies: "If the messenger be an ant, heed him." Listen to your messengers. Learn from them. And do not denounce one who comes lovingly and kindly to assist your soul. Do this, beloved. Love one another as I have loved you.

[This dictation by Jesus Christ was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, on Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 1994, at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. ]

     What is it, then, exactly, that makes one kind of statement a lawful challenge, and the other an unlawful criticism? Answering this question is the great challenge that confronts every student. This question must be answered, and it must be answered because we are tested on this knowledge. Our ability to pass these tests will determine whether we can make real progress on the Path. You see, if you don't understand which is which, if you are confused to any degree in this regard, you will find yourself unconsciously missing important opportunities to challenge error, which are crucial tests on your own path, and moreover, you will find yourself unconsciously practicing the very criticism the Masters abhor, creating more negative karma for yourself that must be transmuted before you can move ahead on your own path. So, it is very important to get this right.

     The first step towards getting this right, involves anchoring the whole equation in your mind. Your mind must have a compartment wherein you place knowledge concerning what kinds of errors you are required to challenge as part of your own testing on the path. Your mind must have another compartment wherein you place knowledge concerning what kinds of fault related statements you are not allowed to speak, which incur a great karma for you. Two compartments. Each brightly illuminated.

     Now, in practice, where you believe that someone is practicing the forbidden form of criticism, condemnation, and judgment, you must bring this full plate of knowledge to bear on the situation. The full plate of knowledge. Not half a plate. But the full plate. Don't speak out hastily. Pull out the whole plate, make sure your plate is full, and then analyze the situation in light of the knowledge on your plate. If you are going to challenge anyone on this issue, you must make the effort to understand, within your own mind, why the offending statements cannot be categorized within the domain of the lawful, and why they must therefore be placed within the category of the unlawful. When you speak up, and challenge what you believe to be criticism, condemnation, and judgment, you must be able to articulate these two distinct dimensions of understanding. Otherwise, your challenge will fall flat, and be helpful to no one.

     So, to summarize this point. There is only one way to lawfully challenge someone on the point of criticism, condemnation and judgment. Only one way. The challenger must begin by expressing knowledge of the whole equation, the whole circle. I have created a little graphic to illustrate this point.

     One half of the circle represents the lawful challenge of falsehood, lawful challenges of error, and lawful challenges of lapses in judgment especially on the part of the leadership for the purpose of holding them accountable. This half of the circle is labeled "GOOD", and is predicated on divine law, and the Master's expression of that Law to their students.

     The other half of the circle, represents criticism, condemnation, and judgment, which is really the area of character put-downs, character assassination, having in mind only the purpose of destroying the character of the opponent. This half of the circle is labeled "BAD". Into this region we must not tread. As noted above, the Master's have made this clear as well.

     The challenger must put this whole equation on the table at the onset, and then proceed to frame the challenge within the context of helping the person, who they see as a violator of the law, to identify where they have crossed the line. Precision is the absolute requirement in whatever explanatory statements that follow.

     The Masters have asked us to come up higher, and here is one important way we can all come up higher. Whenever an Ascended Master student feels the need to challenge another student on this issue, they would do well to adopt this basic communication format, as follows.

"Dear Brother, or Sister. Clearly I don't like what you are saying. And I feel the need to speak up and challenge it. Now, I clearly understand that the Masters require their students to challenge error and falsehood. But I also understand that they forbid us from practicing criticism, condemnation, and judgment. It is my belief, that what you have said, is not a lawful challenge of error. To support my assertion in this respect, here is reason A, reason B, and reason C. These reasons show clearly that you have not challenged any error, or falsehood, or misbehavior which is out of alignment with the Teaching. It is my belief, therefore, that what you have said, is an unlawful expression of criticism, condemnation, and judgment. To support my assertion in this respect, here is reason A, reason B, and reason C. These reasons show clearly, that the only thing that your statements have done is to assassinate the character of a person with false and misleading accusations or assertions."

     Absent this, and here is a great irony, the challenger is operating out of a mindset of criticism, condemnation, and judgment themselves 99% of the time, in as much as their minds or too dark to SEE the whole equation, and to locate the dividing line.

     This is an important principle. When the mind is so dark, wherein it cannot see that the circle contains two-halves, one half good, the other half bad, and cannot see the dividing line that separates them, then this signals a condition of crown chakra pollution, which was produced by the practice of criticism, condemnation, and judgment itself.

     These unconscious habit patterns of criticism, condemnation, and judgment, are composed primarily of ingrained patterns of thought, associated with the 3 o'clock dweller (pride). The 3 o'clock dweller deals with its circle of acquaintances through the lense of idolatry on the 4/10 axis of the clock. If a person will stroke the ego, that person is idolized, and thought wise, and is "loved". And the dweller of pride will deal with that one in a sickly sweet sort of way, and always in a very shallow manner. If a person will not stroke the ego, that individual, will be cast down from the pedestal, and will become the object of contempt. All thoughts related to that object of contempt will be within the domain of criticism, condemnation, and judgment.

     Now, this is the fact of the matter.

     In 99.9% of the cases where various people have accused me of practicing criticism, condemnation, and judgment, they have universally failed to meet these basic requirements. And this is the great irony. Those who are looking at me, and saying that I am being critical, these very individuals are operating within the domain of criticism, condemnation, and judgment. Again, we see this in their inability to frame the challenge according to the whole teaching, and their inability and incapacity to explain why my challenges are unlawful in light of the teaching.

     Now, if they really try, they may be able to meet those requirements, I don't know. But, they probably have not been challenged to do so before. But this is the essence of the teaching. You see, if they desire to wield the teaching on CCJ on behalf of the Masters, they must be careful not to wield it against a student who is actually fulfilling the Masters admonishment to challenge error and falsehood, and to hold leaders accountable. In this regard, they would be using a misconception to defeat the cause of truth itself. So, if my detractors really desire to be helpful, and not simply hurtful, I would hope they would all go back, and approach each one of their objections using the whole equation.

Always Victory!
Sincerely,
Your Little Brother,

      Coming to Grips with the Messenger's Mistakes

     In response to the articles that have appeared on the August, September, and October Front Pages, the word has gone out accusing this editor of criticizing the Messenger, and worse, the Teaching. Such accusations are absolutely false. Those accusations are so false, frogs croaking by comparison, would represent the very gospel of Jesus Christ. Well, now, I know they are sent in my direction by well meaning souls I am sure, who are, nevertheless, trapped, shall we say, in minds quite narrow, and shallow, having the understanding capacity no deeper than a puddle on a sidewalk. I am not kidding. When I wrote that idolatry was the very epitome of mindlessness, perhaps someone will remember me saying that, well, here is an example.

Because of recent mailings going around the Internet by Steven Showers, I feel it is important for members to know that HQ sent Steven a notice (I believe in September or early October) that he is no longer a member of the Keepers of the Flame Fraternity. His latest writings have been very critical of Mother and the teachings, and of course, of Headquarters and certain members (and actions) of the staff. Please call for the protection of Mother and the teachings.
Regards to all,
Joyce

     " ... HQ sent Steven a notice (I believe in September or early October) that he is no longer a member of the Keepers of the Flame Fraternity." The odor of betrayal is thick here. Joyce knows the fragrance well. The notice sent by the leadership to this editor, was intended to be used exactly as she is using it, as a club of mindless condemnation, used to discredit this editor and this publication without having to resort to any kind of reasonable explanation. When I proclaimed that their action was taken to suppress freedom of the press in this community, here is Exhibit A, their purposes faithfully outpictured by this mindless instrument according to their original design.

     The truth is, that notice was thoroughly challenged, and exposed as having no validity whatsoever. This editor is as much a member of the Keeper of the Flame Fraternity today, as when he first joined back in 1981. He has never resigned, and never intends to, and stands confidently on the timeless proposition that speaking the truth was never, and will never be, a just or valid cause for removing anyone from the membership roster of St. Germain's Fraternity. I proclaim the absolute truth to the world. I have always been, and I remain, a member of St. Germain's Keepers of the Flame Fraternity in good standing.

     "His latest writings have been very critical of Mother ... " As I said above, this is totally false. I have pointed out mistakes the Messenger has made. This is not criticism. Criticism tears down for the purpose of blocking the outpicturing of divine purpose. What I am doing is making a plea to recognize that certain (clearly defined) mistakes have been made, so that corrections can be implemented for the good of the Messenger herself, and for the organization as a whole. Here, the purpose is to remove the imprint of error from the divine mission, so that the mission of this organization can be set free to move forward towards its ultimate and total success.

     I understand that some people have difficulty coming to grips with the truth in this respect, that the Messenger made some mistakes. But turning away from this truth, is exactly the same thing as turning away from the truth of your own immortal Christhood. The truth is the truth. To reject one truth, is to make it very difficult to get a firm grip on any truth. If you cannot get a firm grip on any truth, your progress on the Path comes to a standstill. Therefore, the refusal to come to grips with this truth, regarding mistakes made by the Messenger in a few clearly defined areas, exposes a fatal obstacle to the advancement of the membership on the Path of Initiation.

     You cannot be initiated into the higher energy systems of divine perfection, if part of your being wants to turn its back upon a particular truth. That part of your being will never be able to get through the eye of the needle. It just won't fit through. And so, you will remain stuck on this side of the great portal that leads to the Golden Age. This side, is the side of darkness, of non-surrender, of idolatry and rebellion, yes, this side is the world of Maya, of illusion and delusion, characterized by a thick and murky numbness in the mind which corresponds precisely to that consciousness which refuses to embrace reality.

     Now, in my response to Erin Prophet, I set forth a very useful metaphor to help the membership understand how to put the issue of the Messenger's mistakes into perspective. This was published on the Front Page for October 2004. And you can see in this explanation to Erin, that I am not in a mode of criticism, but in a mode of correction for the good of the organization.

     "... Maitreya's Clipper Ship, as a metaphor for the Mystery School, was brought down into the physical octave by your parents, both Mark and Elizabeth. Now, there are many thick oak planks that make up the hull of that ship. And the hull, as long as it is watertight, allows the whole ship to remain buoyant, keeps it from sinking it does below the waves of the astral ocean. Here we have [in encouraging students to meditate on a homosexual icon] a hole in the hull. This hole is masquerading as piece of pure oak. But it is not a piece of pure oak, it is a hole in the hull, and the organization is taking on water because of it, and the Masters and their angels have to do a lot of bailing albeit below decks, just to keep it afloat. They are happy to bail, I am sure. But they could be doing more important things if we could only agree to plug this hole.

      Now, to carry this metaphor one step further, let's say, for the sake of discussion, that the surface area of the hull comprises 144,000 square feet of solid oak planks. Your parents get the credit for all of those oak planks, and they will get the credit for those oak planks forever and forever. But there is a hole in the hull, perhaps it is only one square foot in diameter, and it is certainly nothing, when you compare it to that huge expanse of 144,000 square feet of solid oak planks. But the problem is, through that hole, the ship takes on water. And holes that are not repaired, they tend to get bigger, and more water will pour through them over time. Let's plug this hole."

     Where is the energy of criticism here? It is not there. Clearly, the idea is to plug a hole in the hull of the boat so that boat can sail on to its destination, and not be in danger of sinking to the bottom at some point along its charted route.

     I would just mention here, that another metaphor, associated with Maitreya's Clipper Ship would work almost as well. In this respect, we can look at the sails of Maitreya's Clipper Ship, perhaps just the main sail will suffice. Let's say that Mark and Elizabeth Prophet deserve the credit for weaving the great expanse of divine fabric that makes up the main sail in its entirety. I will stipulate to that, and applaud them, in a genuine spirit of gratitude for every stitch. Looking at this great main sail, then, let's estimate, for the purpose of our discussion, that there are 144,000 square feet of divine fabric in the whole main sail. But we see that there is a hole in the sail. It's right there. There is a hole in the sail, but again, it is masquerading, in the minds of those prone to idolatry, as a piece of intact cloth. But it is not a piece of intact cloth. It is a hole. The wind blows right through it. Let this hole in the main sail be patched, sewn together, so that the sail can carry the ship forward at the maximum speed. And don't be confused on this point either. A hole in the main sail, if it is not patched, will only grow larger, until the force of the winds upon it will tear the whole sail to shreds, and the boat will not be able to move forward with the winds of the Holy Spirit at all, suffering to drift with the tides, even onto the rocks. So, danger is indicated here as well.

     You see, there is nothing whatsover in my approach that can be accurately characterized as criticism. It is a totally constructive approach, opposed only by those who desire, within their heart of hearts, to see those holes remain in the hull, and for those tears in the main sail to remain as they are. The will of the false hierarchy works through these hearts to maintain all modalities of error in intact with the hope that one or all in combination can be exploited to bring the whole ship to ruin.

     In the first article I wrote about the Naked Chakra man, and the iconoclastic status that Michelangelo's Statue of David holds within the worldwide homosexual movement, I made another point, that refutes the characterization of my writing as critical of the Messenger. It has to do with seeing the truth, and correcting the mistakes, for the Messenger's own good. Again, these are my words from the August 2004 article.

"Yes, [encouraging students to meditate on a homosexual icon] 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."

     See how cruel the idolaters can be to the very one they profess to love. The consciousness that needs the leader to be perfect, is the dweller of pride, which believes, by virtue of its own perfection, that it has chosen the perfect leader. If the leader is shown to be less than perfect, then that imperfection reflects upon the dweller of pride, implying that a flaw exists in the judgment faculties used to choose that leader. It will not suffer to have its perfect judgment challenged in this way, primarily because it does not have any level of understanding that would allow it to keep from entering into a fear driven avalanche of total self-doubt. "How could I have made a mistake?", it wonders. "It is impossible," it concludes. The Christ understands how the Messenger can be the Messenger, but have some serious flaws at the same time. The Dweller of pride because it is composed of darkness, does not have the capacity to understand this. When facing the prospect of mistakes in the messenger, it faces the abyss of self-doubt, and it turns away. For the sake of its own survival, it must deny these obvious mistakes made by the leader. And in this process of ensuring survival of the personal not-self, the Messenger herself is forced to bear a much heavier burden over the coming centuries. This is cruel. Those who really love the Messenger, will move quickly to recognize these mistakes for what they are, and to undo them. Those who love themselves more, will let the Messenger twist in the wind. Choose this day whom you will serve.

     In the quest to drive away information about the mistakes the leader has made, what is more fitting, from thier point of view, than throwing the bearer of bad tidings out of the organization in an attempt to totally discredit the message of truth that he brings?

     And consider what happens when the truth of these mistakes finally sinks in, and it cannot be denied anymore. The dweller of pride, after it falls into the abyss of self-doubt, will recover its senses, and make the necessary adjustments. The idol that was once their perfect leader, is now totally discredited. That resolves the paradox. The leader fooled them, and they can now hate her openly. They will leave the organization in disgust. And throw rocks at her on their way out. This is a necessary cleansing action. Idolators are like so many anchors which drag along the bottom of the astral ocean. Maitreya's Clipper Ship will never get up the speed necessary to make it to its destination of victory on time if those anchors remained attached. Therefore, the chains on this anchors must be cut. And that is another important reason why the truth must prevail.

     " ... His latest writings have been very critical of ... the teachings ..." This is a total falsehood. I have only supported the teachings. I have stood up and opposed those who have trampled the teaching in front of our very faces. The reader will be well aware of my stand in opposition to the playing of a Beatle's tune on the Altar of the Holy Grail in King Arthur's Court on July 4, 2003. This is in perfect alignment with the Teaching. I have challenged the destruction of the Unity of the Russian Congregation. This is in perfect alignment with the Teaching. I have opposed the use of a homosexual icon as a target for meditation. This is in perfect alignment with the teaching. I have opposed the presence of subliminal ape face in the chart of the presence. This is in perfect alignment with the Teaching. I have opposed the subversion of the Lighthouse symbol itself. This is in perfect alignment with the Teaching. I have opposed the sloth that allows the ongoing corruption of the paragraphing of dictations on Pearls Online. This is in perfect alignment with the Teaching. There is nothing, in what I have written, that is critical of the Teaching. The truth is, I am one humble defender of the Teaching.

      "His latest writings have been very critical of ... Headquarters and certain members (and actions) of the staff." This again is a false and erroneous characterization for the same reasons stated above concerning the Messenger. The statements I have made cannot be construed as being critical. It is not criticism to challenge misbehavior, mistakes, and errors, on the part of the church staff, for the purpose of having the behavior corrected. Again, criticism is leveled to tear people down, to diminish their capacity to outpicture the divine plan. That is not what I am doing. When someone is out of alignment with the law, a challenge must be leveled to bring them back into alignment. An out of alignment state, is by definition, a state in which the divine plan has been compromised. We must come to the rescue of the divine plan and purpose of God whenever, and wherever it is necessary. A lawful challenge and rebuke, for the purpose of bringing a particular individual back into alignment with the law is something fully supported, recommended, and encouraged by the Masters. When the divine plan and purpose it being comprised, we must speak up to correct that, so that the divine plan and purpose can be put back on track in a particular area. It is part of our sacred duty in this respect to challenge error wherever it rears its ugly head, or ape face, as it were.

     In closing, I draw the attention of the reader to the words of the Master El Morya, which I will apply to Joyce Nuwer forthwith. This is from Pearls of Wisdom, Vol. 18, No. 16, April 20, 1975, The Chela and the Path Letter, XVI:

"How does one try the spirits? Blessed ones, you challenge every voice within or without which comes to you in the name of the Lord: In the name of the living God, my own I AM Presence, and by the flame of Jesus the Christ, I challenge every voice that speaks from within or from without. And I say, I demand that you show forth your light! ..."

     How deep is Joyce Nuwer's understanding of these issues? I challenge her here and now to show us how much Light she has in her crown chakra by setting before us a reasoned refutation of anything I have said here. This is a lawful challenge as you can see from the Master's words quoted above. "I demand that you show forth your Light!" And mark my word dear reader. Her silence will speak volumes in this regard, like unto the Encyclopedia Britannica. The truth is, that those who are surfeited in the consciousness of idolatry do not have any Light. They are the great pretenders to the throne.

Always Victory!
Sincerely,
Your Little Brother,
Steven S. Showers

      The Wolf as a Symbol of the Dweller

     It has come to my attention, that a minister of this church, by the name of Rev. Christine Johnson, told a story to the children during last Sunday's service in King Arthur's Court, which had as the moral of the story, that we should make friends with the wolf, and feed the wolf, and keep the wolf around, and that this was the sign of the Christ, manifest through our Beloved Kuthumi. Supposedly, according to this story, this is what Kuthumi did during his embodiment as St. Francis. What was particularly unproductive about this story, was that the people in the village were tasked with feeding this particular wolf, so that its hunger would not be taken out on the innocent.

     Now, it is true that there are a couple of references in the Teaching, which speaks to a time wherein the "the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard with the kid, the calf and the young lion together...". But the Masters make the point that this represents a time in the future when the people will have attained to their full Christhood, and by the power of love radiating from their chakras, the elementals trapped in these animal forms will be set free. The wolf, referenced in this manner, reflects a very narrow and almost irrelevant aspect of the teaching, which the children can in no way be expected to understand. It is not only pointless, but it is destructive to set this story before the minds of children. It is destructive, because it establishes a reverse current in those minds, that erodes the more important meaning that the Masters give to the word "wolf" and this overwhelmingly.

     Overwhelmingly, the term "wolf" is used as a metaphor for the dweller-on-threshold, and moreover, the state of dweller fusion which the fallen angels typically manifest.

     In this subject area, context means everything. We must understand that before we ever reach that level of evolution, wherein our chakras could radiate with such a light, as to actually set the elementals free from animal forms, the people must learn to identity, and cast out the dweller-on-the-threshold, to make room for the Christ Light to be anchored within the temple, and within our chakras. And overwhelmingly, the Masters use the wolf as a symbol of that carnal nature that must be cast out. In 99% of the cases in which the wolf is referenced, it is as symbol of the carnal nature.

     Again, the Masters do not highlight to any degree the possibility that "the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard with the kid, the calf and the young lion together..." In the overwhelmingly majority of cases the wolf is used as a symbol of the carnal nature.

     And why is that? It is because this represents the point of greatest weakness in the psychology of the children of God. This is exactly where the children of God are failing, time after time after time, because they will not face the wolf for what it is, and cast that wolf out. They believe the wolf is their friend, and they keep it around, and they keeping feeding it, and the truth is, and this is what the Masters teach, that wolf will ultimately consume the soul. That wolf can destroy the soul. When you teach the little children, you need to teach them what is the most important thing to be aware of, and it is this. They cannot afford to keep the wolf around as their friend. The wolf must be destroyed.

     And so, to plant the idea in the minds of the children that the wolf can be, and should be, their friend, this is very counterproductive, and ultimately self-destructive for the souls that swallow this falsehood.

     Consider these words by the Master St. Germain, when the National Park Service got the bright idea to reintroduce the wolves into Yellowstone National Park.

Vol. 34 No. 4 - Beloved Saint Germain - January 27, 1991
New Year's I AM the Light of the World, Conference,
IV, The Gift, "Let the Fiat of the Lord Be with Me!"
.... And I am standing there before the raging wolves of the unconscious that has part with the collective unconscious of the planet. Yes, beloved, it is time you also entered with me. Therefore I bid you descend to that compartment of consciousness, for we shall bind the wolves together! And we shall not promote their proliferation anymore, either in the unconscious or elsewhere!
     You will notice here that the Master is not advocating a viewpoint that highlights the possibility that we can make friends with the wolf.

     The Master Jesus, more than 2000 years ago, set before the world, his understanding of what a wolf represents. And our Beloved Sanat Kumura, repeated those words from the Book of John, chapter 10, verses 1-18, in a 1979 dictation, as follows:

Vol. 22 No. 26 - Sanat Kumara - July 1, 1979
THE OPENING OF THE SEVENTH SEAL, XIV
Kings and Priests Unto Our God My Beloved
Who Are Occupying the Offices of Universal Christhood
in the Earth Unto the Coming of the Ancient of Days:
I AM the Good Shepherd: the Good Shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
     The wolf here, is a symbol of a dweller fused individual, which harbors only the desire to destroy the sheep. And in this respect, the wolf is the symbol of the black heart, one that hides its true nature, with sheep skin no less, so that the sheep will allow the wolf to come into their midst. The Masters use the term "wolves in sheep's clothing" frequently.
Vol. 10 No. 46 - Archangel Chamuel - November 12, 1967
A Valiant Love: To Endure and to Overcome
Those who support its ideas in the interest of temporary peace may very well have failed to understand the Master Jesus' statement, I came not to send peace on earth but a sword. The sword, blessed ones, is the discriminating intelligence of the Christ mind that is able to determine what is of value, what is true, what is real, and what is a wolf masquerading in sheep's clothing.
     Now, you can see that by using this term "wolves in sheep's clothing" so many times throughout the teaching, that this is an important theme that the Masters want the children of God to understand. They want the children of God to be on guard, and to identify the wolf before it has a chance to consume even one of the sheep. You see, this is the world we live in now. This is what the Master's are stressing, because this represents the need of the hour. The shepherd must stand in defense of the sheep, and not allow these wolves into the fold. There are nearly 100 dictations that make a reference to wolves. Only a couple make reference to the Edenic state where the wolf will be made to lie down with the lamb. All the rest refer to the wolf in the role of the destroyer among the sheep, which needs to be identified, and cast out.
Vol. 12 No. 49 - Archangel Gabriel - December 7, 1969
The Intense and Fiery Image of the Living Christ
To Those Whose Hope Is in His Love:
You must understand that the prince of darkness is clever and that, to the innocent of heart, his machinations are almost beyond belief. For example, the children of Belial, masquerading as angels of light, will allow themselves to be caught momentarily behaving very badly but they will do so in a limited way where only a few are able to observe. When those who witness their behavior, out of honor make it known to others, the masquerader will point the accusing finger at the one who speaks the truth and dares to expose the lie. The wolf in sheep's clothing will then retreat behind a mask of innocence, concealing the blackness of his heart from the multitudes, his purpose being accomplished through the spread of the poison of hatred against the souls who have the courage to stand for truth and justice.
     I believe that this describes the behavior of Church Manager Linda Worobec precisely. She exposed her rebellion on the Altar of the Holy Grail on July 4, 2003 by performing a Beatle's tune thereon, in direction repudiation of everything the Masters have ever taught about the true identity of the Beatles. And who are the real villains now? The real villains are the ones that challenged her rebellion, and keep on doing so.

     Now, for very wise students, you can talk about this future state, wherein the chakras can glow with such a brilliant light, that the elementals trapped in these animal forms can be set free from them, and those elementals will no longer have a thirst for the blood of the children of God. Though, technically speaking, that elemental will no longer be a wolf. That form will be left behind.

     On the other hand, for innocent children, who are being brought up to walk the Path of Initiation, what they need to know first and foremost, is what the Masters have clearly made the highest priority. They must be watchful, to bind the wolf of their own dweller, if they don't it will consume them. You cannot make friends with this wolf. And just as importantly, they must be watchful for the wolves in sheep's clothing that come from without, to consume the sheep in the pasture. They must be on guard. You do not make friends with this wolf either. You identify that wolf, and you cast that wolf out.

     The fact that a minister could tell such a story to the children, tells another story to the whole world. And it is the same story that we have been talking about for some months now. The wolves are amidst the sheep in this very moment, and when they get up into the pulpit, they don't warn them of the danger, instead they tell the people that they can make friends with the wolves.

Always Victory!
Sincerely,
Your Little Brother,

      Remembering Elian Gonzalez

     We are coming up on the 5th anniversary of the arrival in America (from Cuba) of Elian Gonzalez. He was rescued at sea by two fisherman on Thanksgiving Day 1999 after his mother lashed him to an inner tube after the boat they were riding to America, and to freedom, capsized. She drowned. I found an archive of the political cartoons related to the struggle of his extended family to keep him in America. This is one which captures the truth quite well.

     Those of us who argued that Elian should be allowed to stay in this free country, especially after his mother gave her life to bring him here, who had our hopes dashed when Attorney General Janet Reno chose to return him to Cuba, are having our predictions come true. Elian is being used as a prop for Fidel Castro's Communist revolution. The perks that he and his family are getting from that association will meld his character into the beast of communist sympathy more thoroughly. It is so sad.

     This is, of course, also an opportunity to remind ourselves that this betrayal of liberty, is one of the legacies of the administration of President Bill Clinton.

Always Victory!
Sincerely,
Your Little Brother,

      A Good On-Line Bible Website

     The University of Virginia maintains a very extensive electronic text library that includes searchable copies of the Bible, in the King James verison, and in the Revised Standard version, giving you the ability to compare and contrast the same passages from both versions.

     For example, I was thinking this morning, about the Bible verse that tells us that faithfulness over a few small things, is the prerequisite for being made the ruler over the larger things. Of course, this could be a description of the process of dweller surrender itself, which is done in small, and sometimes seemingly insignificant increments, which leads, ultimately, to the condition of full self-mastery, which is synonymous with rulership over a larger domain. I will go to the King James version first, and use the search feature to see if I can find that passage, and then use the frames feature to find the same passage in the Standard Revised version.

Matthew, chapter 25, verse 21 - King James version

21: His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Matthew, chapter 25, verse 21 - Revised Standard version

21: His master said to him, `Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over much; enter into the joy of your master.'

     What is applicable to the personal self, is applicable to the collective self as well, in terms of the leadership of any social entity, whether it is a nation, a state, a city, a county, or any private organization, including the Summit Lighthouse and Church Universal and Triumphant. If God is to give that collective entity rulership over many things, then it too must be faithful over a few things.

     More precisely, then, if the behavior of leadership is out of alignment with the law, even if it appears to be a small matter, for example, the performance of a Beatles tune on the Altar of the Holy Grail (July 4, 2003), it is important to bring that small matter into alignment, it is important to bring that small matter to resolution. As we make the effort to be faithful in the smaller areas of responsibility, we will be given rulership over a larger domain, as this passage in scripture indicates. And what is that larger domain, in terms of our organization? It is the domain of an expanded membership. In other words, if the current membership exhibits faithlessness over the apparently smaller things, which is a state of rebellion against the divine principle set forth by the Master in this passage, and which is a certain manifestation of astral poison, God our Father, and the Ascended Masters who work with Him, are not going to attract more people to drink from that poisoned pond. The people who have charge of that pond must clean it up before the angels lead people in large numbers to it.

     For those who are interested in the issue of date and time stamps for these blogger entries, this entry is being made very late on Monday night, pushing past midnight. The same is true for the last entry for Sunday.

Always Victory!

      Look at that Sky!

     Take a look at this pink sky surrounding the Tetons looking east at sunset on Sunday afternoon. The only thing the Masters have for you Sean Prophet is love. But you can only collect that treasure of awareness by returning to the Path.

      Perfect Rendition of Taps - Improved Sound File, etc

     I've made a higher quality recording of the Taps performance by the bugler at the May 2003 Memorial Day Ceremony. File size is larger, but whose counting? And I've added a photo of the bugler himself, standing high up upon the rim of the amphitheater. And I've added a procedure you can follow to configure your computer to play this Taps sound clip (one minute) each time your computer boots up (placing the soundclip in the Startup folder). You will find all of this wonderful new stuff down yonder in the original Nov. 16, 2004 blogger entry.

      Sean Prophet Responds: No Happy Camper Here

     Sean Prophet responded very quickly to my October 2004 Front Page analysis of his statement regarding the Naked Chakra Man article. The word lash back comes to mind. I am not sure what Sean expected. Obviously I did not meet those expectations. He is very disappointed, I can see, in the manner in which I responded to him. But I can bear witness to him and the world, that I gave the best part of myself in my response to him. And I will do so again!

                                                                 November 18, 2004
Steven,
Against my own instincts, and in spite of warnings from numerous people, I answered your questions honestly and from the heart. I thought in spite of my obvious disagreement with the ramblings on your site, that you might be truly interested in a dialog. I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt and to deal with you from a point of respect and tolerance. What I got in return was judgement, condescension, mockery, slander and sarcasm.
Fortunately, people see through you. But you can't tell. You're permanently trapped in the echo chamber of your own mind. It must be very lonely and unhappy up there on your self-appointed throne. Write what you will, but any further attempts to contact me will be ignored.
Sean
     "Against my own instincts ..." Sean, I believe that you have put your finger on the problem. You are conflicted. You have more than one direction setting mechanism operating inside of you, and you have not sorted that out. Believe it or not, you did the right thing to start the dialog. The Teachings that you left behind, that you can return to if you wish, provides a path for the transmutation of inner confusion, and the establishment of absolute divine certainty in everything you do. Freedom to Be. The potential for this freedom is really there.

     "in spite of warnings from numerous people ..." You had to get advice from numerous people before you ventured out onto this battlefield? Again, the Path you left behind, which you can return to, gives you the tools to transmute fear, and uncertainty. I am glad you did not listen to their doubts and fears. It is not wise to allow those who are blind to set your direction in life.

     "I answered your questions honestly and from the heart." If you say so. But can you tell me for sure, whether you spoke out of your Heart of God-Centered Divine Light, or your heart of ego centered human darkness? It makes a difference you know. One resonates with truth, the other with error.

     "I thought in spite of my obvious disagreement with the ramblings on your site, that you might be truly interested in a dialog." I am. See. You give your opinion. I give you mine. And then you give your opinion. And I give you mine. That's how dialog works.

     "I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt and to deal with you from a point of respect and tolerance." I appreciate that.

     "What I got in return was judgement, condescension, mockery, slander and sarcasm." I believe you are over-reacting here, and moreover, seeing things that are not there. I dealt with your viewpoints in a very straightforward manner. I did my best. I was only being me. The fact that I responded to you, no different than I speak to anyone, I am surprised that this caught you off guard. I go right to the heart of the matter, and I don't mince words. Everything I said was my best expression of the truth as I could muster. Now, if you feel I said something that was somehow injuring to you personally, you need to lay your complaints on the table. Perhaps I have something to learn. Perhaps I can improve my communication skills. If the only thing you can do is whine, that is not going to help me very much. You need to be specific.

     "Fortunately, people see through you. But you can't tell" I suppose you are implying that I have a hidden agenda, that I believe I am successfully pulling the wool over everyone's eyes in that regard, but to no avail, because I am so transparent, everyone is privy to my program. At least that is the way I take that statement. But that is not true. My agenda is clearly communicated in the words that I speak to you. It is crystal clear. Before taking embodiment, you gave your vows. When you broke them, you caused tremendous pain to many ascended master hearts. Now is the time for healing of those hearts. The first step towards that healing, is for you to return to your vows. It's really convenient for you to see the real people you have harmed so egregiously as somehow figments of your mother's imagination. But when you pass from the screen of life, you will come face to face with the truth. And your shame will be so deep, as to be almost unbearable. And you will look back at me, and you will feel so sorry, so deeply sorry, that you did not recognize that behind my words are only the desires of God your Father and Mother to bring you back home, along the path of service and attainment outlined in the original plan. There is only one path home in that respect. It is the path that brings the soul back into alignment with the Divine Law.

     You won't be able to do anything about your sorrow and your shame then. But now, now is the time, when you can change history.

     "You're permanently trapped in the echo chamber of your own mind." That sounds like a lyric to some Rock and Roll tune. At least it is my own mind. It is consistent, more or less. It can understand things like loyalty, and faithfulness. It has a sense of direction. And the view from the one window, can be awe inspiring at times. And I don't think it is accurate to say that I am trapped inside of it. I reside in sphere of peace, purpose, and confidence, in the center of which I desire to remain. And what is the alternative? To be cast around like a leaf on the surface of ocean, which is calm at one moment, and in the throes of a hurricane the next? No, stability and purpose, by the grace of God, and with the help of the Masters, I choose. It is becoming more and more the domain of freedom. Freedom to be.

     "It must be very lonely and unhappy up there on your self-appointed throne." It is impossible to feel lonely when you know that God your Father, and your Mother are with you. It is impossible to feel lonely when the Masters and the angels provide direct and deeply lasting comfort to you every day. The Path of Initiation leads every soul to that level of communion where constant comfort and peace is an ever present reality. That was your destination, Sean, before you left the path. If you return, you will come to know this too.

     "Write what you will, but any further attempts to contact me will be ignored."In your heart, I know you don't mean that. Who else, on this planet, at least among embodied people, holds the immaculate concept for you, if it is not me? Who else, on this entire planet, at least among embodied people, can see the great pain and sorrow you will face, if you leave this earth, without fulfilling the mission for which you came? Who else, on this entire planet, at least among embodied people, is willing to extend a hand to you, with the hope that you will take it, and thereby have the opportunity to clean escape that pain and sorrow? I am the one. Everyone else is very happy to stand by and do absolutely nothing to save you from that great pain and that great sorrow. Who is the real friend of your soul? I am the one. In your heart, you know this is true.

     I speak out of an awareness of the great hopes and dreams that the Master's had, and hold, for your victory in this life. All that has come upon you since your leaving off the path, it is like a bad dream. And you can wake up, now is a good time for that, and to move forward in the direction of your victory, it is possible.

Always Victory!
Sincerely,
Your Little Brother,

      A Reader Comments: "Erin's ... brilliant response ..."

     This reader is directing her comments in the direction of my response to Erin Prophet's Statement on the Naked Chakra Man article. In Erin's statement, she tried to make the point that a symbol can mean anything that a person wants it to mean, using Hitler's Swastika as an example, which she asserts was already sacred within the Buddhist and the Hindu traditions.

     "OH, Come on now, Steven, your insinuation that the Hindu and Buddhist symbol is inherently repulsive to the student of the light is just really a fringe concept, and plain silly. I can not refrain from stating that you are simply in error-point blank. We know full well that Hitler was an occultist and occupied with occult symbols. He was also fascinated with the Spear of the Roman soldier who pierced the side of Jesus, and the Shroud of Turin, which is supposedly a cloth which has the outline of Jesus burned into it by the process of the Resurrection Flame. Does that mean that these objects also have a similar meaning as the Swastika because a maniacal person had his attention on it? I think, to Erin's credit, that she popped your balloon by refuting your own argument based on your own statements. I thought it was a rather brilliant response to your article on the Chakra Man. I fully support the Messenger and Erin on this subject. I wonder if you will have instant Karma for your blunt criticism of our Beloved Messenger." [name withheld]

     This reader gives further validity to the principle of vibrational proximity that I brought forward in my response to Erin. In regards to Erin, she was trying to justify the use of the Michelangelo's Statue of David as a meditation object for ascended master students. In that mode of justification, which is the justification of rebellion, I made note of the fact that it was no coincidence that the thing most near at hand, vibrational speaking, to her mind, as it reached for additional focal points of justification, was the swastika, a symbol of mass murder. Homosexuality (associated so intimately with Michelangelo's David) is a condition of mass murder itself, in terms of putting to death the Christ potential of millions upon millions of souls.

     And I went on to make the argument that the swastika was a symbol of mass murder long before Hitler got a hold of it, in as much as it helped to put to death the Christ potential of countless number of souls in the Hindu and Buddhist traditions. This reader is objecting to my assertion in that regard.

     But, in search of additional reference points to defend, in other words, to otherwise justify the asserted holiness of the swastika in the Buddhist and Hindu traditions, look at the symbols which are the most near at hand for this reader. Her mind reaches out, and grasps the spear that was used to put Christ to death. And the shroud that covered his dead body. Clearly, Hitler was no believer in Christ. The soul of Hitler was anti-Christ to the core, and he reached only for those things which dripped with the very vibration of death. If he was interested in the spear that killed Christ, that makes sense. If he was interested in the shroud that cover the dead body of Christ, that makes sense. He was interested in the death of Christ, and was looking for anything that embodied that formula.

     Now, I made the point, in the exposition on the ape face in the chart of the presence, that the condition of idolatry is a condition of mindlessness, in terms of the quality of illumination. This reader is clearly operating at that level of idolatry, mired in that region of mindlessness, not able to see or otherwise discern the common denominator which all of these symbols share. The death of the Christ in man. That's what they all share. The idolatrous mind of this reader has only one priority, and that is to prop up the idol, the idol of the perfect, flawless Messenger, who can do no wrong, deflecting in the most knee-jerk manner, any and all assertions that her idol can make a mistake, that her idol is not perfect. The idea that her idol, the messenger, could actually make a mistake, that is not within the realm of the possible for her, and therefore, the realm of reality itself is shut out of her own mind, and along with it, the realm of reality concerning her own Christ potential, and you can take that observation to the bank.

     Where does that leave the idolatry bound soul? It leaves that soul pushing away all things that vibrate with the energy of everlasting life, and pulling close to its bosom, those things which vibrate with the death of the Christ. Make no mistake about it. Idolatry is fatal.

     Besides, the reader misses the most important point. Erin has provided, albeit unconsciously, proof positive that the Nakra Chakra Man is not a fit object for the meditation of any ascended master student. Setting aside the issue of the value of the swastika prior to its adoption by Hitler, the fact remains that Hitler defined it for all time. Knowing the records of war and death associated with that symbol, no one will use that symbol for anything from now on. To mediate on it, ties the soul into all the records of death and destruction that are associated with it. So it will be set aside. And the same is true with Michelangelo's David. The more people are aware that this statue, a symbol of rebellion apriori, is a focal point for homosexual lust, the more likely they are to set it aside, and never look upon it with any amount of adoration and respect again, and that is a good thing.

Always Victory!

      Kim and Lorraine Michaels Respond
      to October 2004 Front Page Article

     I have received, via a forwarded email, a letter written by Kim and Lorraine Michaels responding to my October 2004 Journal Front Page article, exposing them as channelers of ascended master imposters. They are not very happy with me to say the least. So be it. But I want to be fair. While I don't believe their response is worthy of front page play by any means, I will include a link to it here as a background document. And of course, I will respond to some of the points made. And as I do that, in the domain of the daily blogger, their viewpoint will get the play fairness and justice requires.

     Now, the very instant I caught this mistake, I knew someone was going to make hay with it. And so, Kim and Lorraine Michaels get the prize for being the first out of the starting gate in that respect. I am speaking about the series of Coming Attractions that I sent out prior to the publication of the Journal Front Page for October 2004. As some of you noticed, the word "Attractions" was misspelled in the first seven or eight mailings. It read "Attactions". And Kim and Lorraine Michaels see some kind of Freudian slip there that indicates some deep and fatal flaw in my soul. I am ok with that. I love the kitchen, and I can take the heat.

     But, their point falls flat, as do all of their arguments, because the Freudian slip does not point to a defect in my soul, but to one of my strengths. One of our greatest responsibilities is to challenge error, no matter where we find it. And that is what I am about. To me, the victory of truth is the only thing that matters. For truth to be victorious, falsehood, error, and misconception must go down. If they are to go down, someone must make the effort to take them down. That someone, in these particular instances, is me.

     Of course, I would never use the word "attack" to characterize my approach, but, on the other hand, I can understand how a creature of error might feel like it is being attacked, because, after all, the intent of the Light is to utterly destroy the error. Those who hold error dear, as that error is being destroyed, will feel harshly abused I suppose, according to the depth of their identification with it. I can't help that. But, in all reality, they should be at peace, for this is really mercy in action, for the error, if they remain wedded to it, will lead to the destruction of their souls, and if God our Father just stood by, and did nothing to try to strip them of their error, what kind of Father would He be? It is his love that reaches out to strip his precious children of their egregious errors.

     So, without further adieu, here is the response of Kim and Lorraine Michaels, their egos sorely bruised, and their pride more so, after the world was told that they are channeling ascended master imposters. I mean, that must hurt, I can understand that, if you believe that you are delivering a river of gold unto the world, but you find out that it is really a river of mud. I am sorry to be the one to have to burst their bubble.

      Destruction of the Mystery School

     The Masters have talked at length about the destruction of the Mystery School by the forces of rebellion in all past ages. Here is one example, in poem form, from a Keepers of the Flame Lesson. Click the little buttons to go back and forth from one stanza to the next. Because the content of Keepers of the Flame Lessons are restricted to Keepers of the Flame, this excerpt should only be read by those who are Keepers of the Flame. This excerpt is implemented in MacroMedia Flash, so if your browser is set to block Flash content, you will have to override that, to see this. For Internet Explorer users, you will need to click "allowed blocked content" in the security bar above.

     From this, the reader can understand that we are talking about an issue that has caused the destruction of Ascended Master activities in the past. In regards to the rebellion of Church Manager Rev. Linda Worobec, and the many rings of destruction that have formed around that rebellion, we have an excellent opportunity to come to grips with the first signs of such destructive activity, and to develop the appropriate methodologies, using the tools the Masters have given us, to overcome this problem, now, and forever.

Always Victory!

      A Reader Comments: "You are outside the Circle"

     This reader raises an interesting question. What is this circle? What does it mean to be inside that circle, or outside that circle? What defines the perimeter of that circle?

"Stephen: You do bring some interesting things to light. As I have said before, I think you are a good writer, But I am concerned about your content. You would be much better off within a group setting where some of your more off beat views can be brought into line with reality. Noteably, this whole Worobec compulsion. Since you refuse to bend on that point, you are outside the circle. I do like the fact that you got the Prophet kids to write something, even if it is pretty underwhelming what they said."

     The only circle that matters, is the one defined by truth. And the circle defined by truth, is the circle of Light, and of Communion. In regards to this circle, I am clearly inside of that circle. I have no question about it. On the issue of the Beatles, the teaching is what it is. The Beatles are the enemies of God, and his Divine Plan. Linda Worobec embraced these enemies, and used the Altar of the Holy Grail to make them appear more acceptable and popular among the student body. This was in direct violation of the Teaching. A violation of the Teaching, is a violation of the Truth. And we are taught that it is our highest duty to challenge all violations of the Truth. As I stand to challenge this particular violation of the truth, I remain inside the circle of Truth, of Light and of Communion. I have no doubts about this. Moreover, when souls violate the truth, they are admonished that their highest obligation at that point is to repent. Linda Worobec must repent, and she must do so for the very survival of her own soul. She refuses to repent, and in so doing, stands in violation of another important truth. I must challenge that violation as well. As I stand my ground in defense of this truth, again, I stand within the circle of truth, within the circle of Light, and within the circle of Communion.

     The Teaching tells us clearly, that these responsibilities to challenge the violation of the truth, fall on the shoulders of all souls, whether in leadership, or within the rank and file membership. As members of the leadership refuse to challenge Linda Worobec's violation of the truth, on at least the two points mentioned above, they themselves are in violation of the Teaching, and thus, in violation of the truth. I must stand to challenge that violation as well. As I stand to challenge this particular violation of the truth, I remain inside the circle of Truth, of Light and of Communion. I have no question about it. Moreover, as members of the rank and file membership refuse to challenge Linda Worobec's violation of the truth, on at least the two points mentioned above, and refuse to challenge the leadership's violation of the truth, as mentioned above, they themselves are in violation of the Teaching, and thus, in violation of the truth. I must stand to challenge that violation as well. As I stand to challenge this particular violation of the truth (which is the largest and most expansive and destruction violation of the truth we have yet seen), I personally remain inside the circle of Truth, of Light and of Communion. I have no question about it.

     The Teaching does not tell us, that some violations of truth can be ignored, while others are to be challenged. It is not like a buffet table, where you can choose to eat one dish, and disregard another. When the truth is violated, it must be challenged. I will not participate in any manner in foisting this delusion on the minds of the membership, that a violation of the truth can be left laying upon the table as if it were a bar of pure gold. Certainly, it lays on the table as if it were. But it is fool's gold, literally.

     Praise God, when you too have a compulsion to do the right thing, not just on one day, but on the next, and the next, and next, as long as the falsehood stands, you will not let down your guard, nor abandon your duty to stand for the truth.

     Those who refuse to stand with me, these are the ones that stand outside the circle of truth, outside the circle of Light, outside the circle of Communion. They may well be standing smack dab at the center of the circle of Linda Worobec's approval, and that of the leadership generally, and certainly they do in this respect. But that circle, is a circle of darkness. The circle of popular approval, which encourages people to make excuses for the trampling of truth, that is always the circle of darkness. I will not stand inside of that circle.

     And besides, and this should be clear enough for everyone, that the warm comfy feelings that you get from the rays of their approval will be short lived. They will soon be gone, and where will you be then? How sad it will be to find out then, that you are actually many more miles away from your goal of God-Communion, which must always start with Truth-Communion, than when you began. To be fooled again, to abandon the truth itself, and thereby to abandon your opportunity to move closer to God, leaves you with what? A plate piled high with the bitter fruit of disappointment, and shame. Truly, I say to you, pity those who feel good, who feel comfortable in their abandonment of the truth. Pity them. For their future is bleak indeed.

     Courage is the road to victory. Don't allow anyone to tell you any different.

     Now, I appreciate the effort that people make in challenging my good sense, because it gives me the opportunity to look back, and examine the premises upon which I stand in the current moment. I gratefully embrace those premises, and I am grateful for each renewed opportunity to go back and examine them. Pondering the genuine glow of gold, and the sparkle of real jewels, this has a satisfaction and fulfilment associated with it, that I would recommend to everyone.

Always Victory!

      Two Big Ideas, Shared with Me, I will Share with You

     Let me share with you what I saw on the first work day of this year, Monday, January 5, 2004. This highlights the value of the Latin tradition of taking after meal siestas.

     On this early morning, after a big breakfast, I needed to take a short siesta. Now, its not like I got up in the morning, had breakfast, and then took a nap. Actually, what I did, was to get up at 10pm the night before, and worked through the night, and had breakfast at 5am. And by 5:30AM, after I did the dishes, I felt like I needed a siesta, and so, that's what I did, and before falling to sleep, I asked the Masters to take me to the main cathedral at the Royal Teton Retreat during this short nap, and to impress upon my mind, upon awakening, the single most important thing that I experienced there.

     In about 20 minutes I awoke with a prayer on my lips, saying, Beloved Jesus and St. Germain, please impress the will of God upon my mind, and I said that several times. Have I ever said such a thing before in my life? No. This was a totally new prayer for me. And a beautiful thought appeared to me. This beautiful thought, was a thought like unto which I have never had before. It was like a volume of books, and all the books spoke to me, and they said, the Will of God is Good. And this question hung in the air, and what is the will of God? It is for the healing of all souls on the planet. It is the desire of God to bring them all home. This thought was like a field of roses inside of my mind. It was the most beautiful thought that I have ever had.

     Let me share with you something else that I saw on the first work day of 2004.

     After my nap, I got up, and went out on my walk, and this was in time to catch the sunrise from the top of Tank Top Mountain. When I arrived at the Summit, and after my regular prayer routine, I was talking to Helios, as I normally do, reaffirming what Jesus and St. Germain had revealed to me, and that is, that Helios and Vesta, and me, we both have something very important in common. Everything we have comes from God. We are both creations of the Most High God, which makes us both children of the Most High God, which makes them my brother and sister. Of course, I am the little brother. And yes, of course, this applies to every single child of God on the planet. But nonetheless, at the hilltop, I always affirm that, and say straight to his face, I will not allow anything to minimize this blessed truth that has been so clearly revealed to me. I am so grateful to have such a shining brother and sister as you. And that I will keep the flame for this univseral truth on behalf of all the little children on the planet.

     And right at that point, a thought was placed inside of my mind. All the children of God on the planet, all the billions of souls, were contained in that one thought. And they were all part of one Divine Family. I could see them all. And I could see that they were all part of one Divine Family. And I marveled that such a huge thought, such a magnificent thought, a thought that contained the entire earth, and all souls that live thereon, could be placed so gently upon the fabric of my mind. I am not sure if there is a word in the English language that could capture the essence of that gentleness. One might think that if Helios even looked in your direction, that you would be burned to a crisp. But no, and I suppose that this was part of that dimension of wonder, that a being of such monumental stature could place such a beautiful thought creation so gently upon the mind of a little person like me.

     I took out my little notebook, and as the sun rose above the eastern ridgline, I made a note of this thought, this experience, just a couple of sentences, and when I was finished writing, do you know who was standing beside me? I looked down to my left, and about a two feet away, stood this road runner. That's quite a large bird, larger than a crow, and it has long legs too, standing at least two feet high, with light brown plumage, speckled with some white, with a funny little tassle on its head. This was the bird that the roadrunner cartoon character was modeled on, you remember, the roadrunner that wilely coyote was always trying to catch, but the roadrunner always outsmarted him. Now, on my walks I have only caught a fleeting glimpe of one of these birds on only one occasion, and that was on the trail 40 or 50 yards ahead of me, and it was gone into the brush quicker than you can say, what was that? But here, the bird was standing right next to me. I suppose he wanted to share the sunrise. And I said Hi little bird! And the bird turned and looked up at me with great surprise, and I knew he said in his heart, that's not a tree! That a person! And in a flash, the roadrunner disappeared.

     In all of the recorded history of the earth, has there ever been a reported incident like this, wherein a Road Runner has walked up and stood beside a human being? I don't think so. Beloved Helios was saving it for this moment in history, and you can be sure, it will never be repeated again.

     There was a strong, very strong wind, and it was cold too, and it was blowing out of the east, and as I came up over the top of rainbow hill, a red tail hawk floated on the wind, high above, and because of the strength of the wind, he was stationary in the air. An appreciated wave good by from the nature spirits, until tomorrow.

Always Victory!

Your Little Brother,

      Proposal for a Change in Ministerial Protocol

     I would like to suggest that we make a major change in one important aspect of our ministerial traditions, such as they are.

     I propose that this practice of putting the title "Rev." in front of the name of our ministers should be unceremoniously dropped and abandoned. Why?

     This tradition comes out of organized Christianity, which has become like a ball and chain (of false doctrine) around the ankles of God's Children worldwide. Why carry that vibration forward as a mantle for the ministers of the Ascended Master Teachings?

     Now, the word "Reverend" suggests that the membership ought to revere these individuals. But that proposition only feeds into the propensity of the human ego to polish the crown of spiritual pride, feeding the illusion, with each pronunciation of the term "Reverend", that this crown is growing brighter and brighter and brighter, when in fact, the heart is actually growing darker and darker and darker, and more inflexible, and unkind, and unmerciful, with each passing day. Remember, as the organized Christian Church became more and more permeated by fallen angels from about the 3rd century onward, and as they clawed and scratched their way into positions of power and superiority over the congregations, it was they, i.e. the fallen angels themselves, who pinned the title of "Reverend" upon themselves. Why should we continue that tradition? Clearly, it has Luciferian roots.

     The one cosmic commodity, as it were, that needs to be revered are not individuals, but God our Father and Mother. The great goal of the path is not to teach the Children of God to revere earthly priests, but to revere God. As we make progress towards acquiring a genuine attitude of reverence for God our Father (and Mother) only then can we ever hope to appreciate our fellow man in the proper context.

     As noted, the spiritual pride that is attendant with these positions of supposed spiritual leadership causes the heart to further harden over time, through the accreted layers of delusionary superiority, and the title "Rev." magnifies this peculiar tendency, and these individuals become less of an asset to our community over time, rather than a greater asset to our community. I believe we have seen an example of this in the complete, total, and absolute inability, incapacity, and towering unwillingness of various "Reverends" within this church to extend one single drop of mercy to Ketino, who had served this community so well over so many years. I suppose you could say, that it was Ketino's crime, when confronted with individuals whose intent it was to bring about the abortion of her divine plan, to refuse to extend the level of reverence that these individuals seemed to expect. They expected reverence, they did not get it, so Ketino, sorry, but you're a goner.

     Of course we need ministers. Somebody needs to look like they know what they're doing. But as the Master Jesus has said, those who desire to be the greatest among us, must be the greatest servants of all. And so, it seems to me, that we ought to take the Master at his word. Instead of referring to these individuals as Reverend so and so, we should adopt another protocol entirely, and refer to them as Servant so and so.

     For example, Servant Worobec. Or Servant Duffy. Or Servant Booth. And so forth.

     And so, perhaps in the future, rather than people shaking in their boots at the approach of Rev. A or Rev. B, they will come to look forward to the visits of Servant A, or Servant B.

     I think that if we put this to a vote throughout the entire organization, that we might just get 99% agreement.

Always Victory!
Sincerely,
Your Little Brother,
Steven S. Showers

      Proposed Addition to the Church's
      Corporate Code of Conduct

     I would like to propose an addition to the corporate code of conduct for this organization as follows:

Resolved: Members of the church leadership are forbidden from using their past relationship with the Messenger in a manner that would imply authority and approval of current behavior. Current behavior will be evaluated on the basis of the law, and not on the basis of past personal relationships with those who had great prestige and power. Do you have your own threefold flame? If so, have you balanced it, and expanded it, and can you, therefore, express yourself out of the confidence of that radiance, expounding upon the law, and the truth, with kindness and compassion, without ever being tempted into invoking your past association with the Messenger as a sign and signet of authority? If so, then, henceforth deal with every situation out of that radiance, and set aside now and forever, whatever delusions you may still entertain, that because of your past association with the Messenger, your behavior is somehow above reproach. If not, please step down before you bring further embarrassment upon the organization.

Always Victory!

Your Little Brother,

Preparations for the October 2004 Front Page having begun late, is now pushing into November. And perhaps the November Front Page (which will have another audacious expose) will push into December, and December's Front Page (which will have another audacious expose) may well push into January. We'll see.

      Have Mercy on Them

     Have mercy on them. That's the key to recycling, and even composting.

     Some might call it an interminable prison. I was thinking about all of those organic molecules, and the atoms that comprise them, which were trapped way below the surface of the earth for hundreds of millions of years in those underground oceans of crude oil. What possible crimes were they complicit in, to deserve such a long prison term in utter darkness? Only God knows. Before they were thrown deep into the bowels of the earth, where not a photon of sunlight will reach, they were, heretofore tasked to provide vegetation for the surface of the earth, and they lived their lives, perhaps even for millions of years out in the bright sunlight. Now, that would be quite a change I think getting used to being part of that black gooey mass, and to exist in that state for so long. How depressing.

     Who would doubt, that if you are an organic molecule, life would be far more interesting if you are part of a living plant? Or perhaps, even if you have fallen onto the ground in the form of a dried up leaf, who could deny that in your heart of hearts burns on the ever present hope of being part of a living plant again, perhaps in the next ten years or so, or even sooner?

     What an endless grind is must have been for those molecules endlessly trapped in that state of gooey blackness for so long, not having any hope at all, for hundreds of millions of years. What despair and what hopelessness. But all of sudden, that is going to change, with the advent of technology! Finally, the people on the surface are given the key to your prison cell, and they are told to come and set you free! And we were here to see it, the 20th Century, as we reckon time.

     Just think what a joy it must have been to hear the drill head grinding away in the rock above your head. And what a blessed experience it must have been, to have that drill head break through the ceiling. That sound, was the sound of freedom. And when the pumping actually starts, the whole gooey black ocean gets to look forward to their future assignments, to become this or that kind of plastic gizmo, or perhaps to be vaporized into a spark of power inside of gasoline engine, released finally into the living world to become part of the biosphere once again. O the opportunity to participate again in the wondrous life patterns of the living world, yes, on the surface, in the bright sunlight!

     When I was emptying my waste basket in my bedroom into a larger plastic bag, I could see some stuff in there that would normally end up in the recycling bin, but the recycling bin is in the kitchen, and it is already full anyway, and I need to tie this bag up, and get on with the business of living. I can't be bothered with getting this few items into the recycle bin. And I heard them say to me, have mercy on us.

     These compact little plastic bottles used for my Boost energy drinks, or the plastic bottles used for my body powder. And other such miscellaneous containers, they said to me, have mercy on us. After being trapped so long under the earth, here we had an opportunity to play some humble role again in serving the children of God, and we would like to have more opportunity, if you don't mind. If we go into the regular trash, we will end up in some huge land fill, and the dirt will be bulldozed over us yet again, and there we will be in the utter darkness, for how long this time? Have mercy on us. Send us into the recycling system, so we can become part of another useful implement that can serve the children of God in some additional humble way. Have mercy on us. Let us be reborn. Let reincarnate into a new form. Please don't sentence us to another period of interminable darkness and uselessness. Have mercy on us.

     This plea spoke to my heart no doubt, but as for my head, will it listen too? Let's see.

     Not as first did my head listen. At the moment they first spoke to me, they all got dumped into the same trash bag, and set out into the garage along with all the other stuff that is normally referred to as trash.

     But when it came time to putting the trash barrels out, I remembered what they said, my conscience was experiencing a more than ordinary fit of memory clarity, and I said, ok, I will have mercy on you. How could it be any other way? I broke the bags open, dipped my hand down into the debris, and pulled them, each and every one, from the certain fate of darkness and uselessness, and placed them, each one, onto the path of greater purpose, as I put them all into the recycling container.

     This applies to compost too you know. The atoms and molecules that comprise your broccoli stalks for example, what fate do they have if you toss them into the trash, and they end up in the general dump? If you put them in the compost pile in your back yard, even if you never use the compost, the molecules and atoms are recycled into the air and soil and allowed to become part of the living biosphere in short order.

Always Victory!

Your Little Brother,

      The God Tabor on School Prayer

     Here again we see that the Ascended Masters do in fact associate the practice of prayer in the public schools with a Golden Age culture.

Vol. 14 No. 15 - God Tabor - April 11, 1971
"The Earth Is the Lord's, and the Fullness Thereof"

     We of the Ascended Masters' realm, overseeing humanity with the radiation of our love and the eye of our attention, pinpoint once again in this unit of cosmic knowledge, this Pearl of Wisdom, the need for all to face squarely their cosmic responsibility to employ the energies of consciousness, the faculties of mind and heart, to build a Golden Age civilization solidly based upon the Golden Rule.

     It is in the hope that loving parents, young people, and even the elder stewards will bestow upon the tapestry of the coming age a restoration of prayer in the schools–not, as it has been for so many years, a mere token offered unto God, but as a vital communication of the heart of the child to his Creator–that we advocate the bolstering of faith, hope, and charity in the hearts of all.

     How sad it has been, but how true, that where God has been moved out, men with atheistic and damning concepts of dialectical materialism have moved in. In the asteroid belt of the solar system, located between Mars and Jupiter, revolve magnetic chunks of the ancient planet Maldek, a monument to the perfidy of the laggards and their denial of the power of the creative Spirit of pure Being. Will you then, parents and teachers of this age, allow your children and your children's children to imitate their degenerate ways and then to literally destroy this planet before you lift a hand in defense of Righteousness and Truth!

     I know that the current atmosphere is polarized against the restoration of prayer in the public schools. But this stiff-necked stubbornness, much of it masquerading as some kind of a sophisticated respect for the sensibilities of the Atheists, will be incrementally broken as more and more of the disintegrating impact of the materialistic mindset comes to bear upon the people. This is unfortunate, but true. The Master God Tabor, has mentioned above, the ultimate consequence of denying God, in the very destruction of the planet itself.

     Before we get to that point, nations will begin to fragment and collapse first, but not all at once. In other words, the planet Maldek, was not some kind of paradise in one moment, and then blasted apart the next. Nations deteriorated into chaos, and this was internally. Because of the weaknesses exposed by this chaos, this provided opportunities for the forces of darkness to take advantage of the situation, using open warfare to bring whole nations under their control, and thus developed an ongoing condition of war that eventually caused the destruction of the planet.

      We will see the signs of this collapse come upon us incrementally. And we are seeing that now. The first major sign of this collapse was the terrorist event of 9/11. As a direct result of that attack, what the future holds for us, is now written boldly upon the wall. The prospect of the terrorists using nuclear weapons upon an American city is now real. Look at the shock and dismay associated with the collapse of only two buildings. Think about the depth of despair the American people will be driven to when they see that several city blocks have been vaporized. The economic impact of such an attack would be absolutely devastating as well. People will start to rethink this issue in a very serious manner at that point. It is our job to help people to rethink this issue BEFORE the worst consequences come upon us.

     Of course, it is not true that God our Father, who only wants the best for his children, would bring these horrible things upon us, to twist our arms, even to the breaking point, so that we will bend down and worship him. That is not the case at all. This is what the people must understand. When minds take a detour into darkness, and separate themselves out from the brilliant illumination of the divine mind, people become delusional as to what constitutes reality. And out of that delusional mindset, they make big mistakes, and we have been warned, that we will be held accountable for our mistakes. The bitter fruit of our own mistakes will be returned to our doorsteps by the Law of Karma.

     Seeking God's help mitigates this process in two ways. First, in response to the collective prayer of the nation, the light of the divine mind can be poured into the collective mind of the nation, giving us the common sense, within that collective mind, required to keep us from making horrible and destructive mistakes. That is the first point. But if mistakes have been made, seeking God's help can bring about the mitigation of the karmic return, if we are collectively sincere in our desire to identify and correct our collective mistakes.

     This is the bottom line. The banning of school prayer in 1962 caused the intercessory hand of God to be removed from the United States. A tremendous momentum of error has been allowed to build up over the last 40 and more years as a result. The karmic return from these errors is building up upon our roof, and that roof will collapse at some point, if we do not turn around.

Always Victory!
Sincerely,
Your Little Brother,

      Perfect Rendition of Taps

     Last May 26, 2003, I had the opportunity to catch a late C-SPAN rerun of that day's Memorial Day service held at Arlington National Cemetery, attended by President George W. Bush, and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Both of these gentlemen gave good, solid, and memorable statements. At the end of the service, after the chief Navy Chaplain gave the benediction, a lone bugler high atop the marble amphitheater rim, gave what struck me as the most perfect rendition of TAPS that I have ever heard. And I wanted to share it with you (again). I think that it expresses the purest posture of honor that music can embody. As we listen to it, our hearts stand at attention, and we can salute, in the purest spirit of gratitude, all those who have so recently made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, and for the people of Iraq, who now have the opportunity and the great challenge to anchor the flame of freedom in the midst of their society and culture.

MP3 Link: Perfect
Rendition of Taps

     I reduced the section of the program wherein TAPS was played, and saved that clip to my hard drive. I created a shortcut to it in my computer startup folder. When my computer starts, it automatically plays this clip. It runs only about a minute. In response to the command "Present Arms!", I get to salute all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for the victory of freedom, and to do so every day. Over time, I found that during the playing of taps, some useful prayers came to mind on behalf of the fallen, and those who have been wounded, and are recovering in various hospitals.

Configuring Computer to Play Taps at Startup

1. Point to the sound file link, and place your mouse pointer over it.

2. Right click, and choose "Save Target As". If the "Save Target As" menu option is not available, make sure you are not working offline.
3. On the dialog box that appears, goto the "Save In:" drop down list at the top/center of the dialog box, and choose "Desktop".
4. In the file name window at the bottom of the dialog box, use the file name already assigned, or choose another, according to your wishes. Click "Save."
5. A download dialog box will appear and show you the download progress. When you get the "Download Complete" message, click "Close".
6. Go to your desktop and find the icon for the new file.
7. From here, you will need to drag that icon into the Startup Folder. Be prepared to hold your mouse button down as you go through the various levels of the Start menu to get to the startup folder.
8. Right click the sound file icon and hold down your mouse button for this drag operation. Drag the icon to the Start button at the left end of the desk top tool bar. Keep holding your mouse button down as the start menu appears. Continue dragging the icon (up) over the "Programs" item. Keep holding your mouse button down as the "Program" submenu appears. Look for the "Startup" folder. If you see a short list, without a "Startup" folder, drag the icon to the right, and down, onto the double down arrows at the bottom of that submenu, and hold there while the full list appears. When the full program list appears, you will see the "Startup" folder. Drag the sound file icon over the "Startup" folder item and wait for the Startup folder submenu to appear. Drag the sound file icon to a position on the Startup folder submenu, and release the mouse button. The sound file icon will now appear in the Startup folder.
9. Every time you start your computer, your default mp3 application will be invoked to play this segment.

     This is a useful exercise program for our hearts to take up the posture of honor on a daily basis. I would like to encourage all those who care about the sacrifice these soldiers are making to take up this little ritual with me. This little additional prayer support, day by day, will produce substantial fruits for all.

Always Victory!

Your Little Brother,

     In the "Principle of the Square" — a very important article that will be included on the Front Page for October 2004 ( coming soon) — we will explore the lowly carpenter's square, and discuss how the building principle embodied in that simple tool, allowing buildings to stand without falling over, applies to the relationship of our hearts to the Teaching itself. In Linda Worobec's rebellion we have an example of the destructive consequences associated with refusing to square our own thoughts and feelings to the most fundamental aspects of the Teaching. Of course, the destruction of the Unity of the Russian Congregation flowed directly out of Linda Worobec's rebellion, and the larger circle of rebellion that was made manifest when the church leadership refused to hold her accountable according to the requirements of the law.

      The Goddess of Liberty on School Prayer

     Here is another statement by the Goddess of Liberty, this was actually the first, given in 1969, which mentions prayer in the schools, and which refers to the famous image of General George Washington kneeling in prayer. There was a man humble enough to understand that if the principle of Liberty was to be victorious in America, it would be, but only with God's help.

Vol. 12 No. 2 - The Goddess of Liberty - January 12, 1969
Develop a Greater Sense of the Consciousness of God:
The World Must Lift Itself Up by Its Own Bootstraps

     The all-power of God has been sought by honorable men through the ages. Your own beloved George Washington went down upon his knees on the fields of battle, and many generals and men of world renown have prayed and received answers or tokens of divine intervention.

     When the forces of darkness acting through ignoble men seek to prevent prayer in the schools of the world, when religion is attacked as though it were a despicable thing, when many of the media of the world distort religious concepts and a flood of unvital ideas is released to a disheartened humanity, we signal that the vast cosmic network of light assistance to the earth must be reactivated by those who are in physical embodiment. They must seek to reconnect themselves with the high standards to which some of them once held and from which they have since disconnected themselves. Those who have dwelled far too long upon a plateau of complacency because of spiritual ignorance must recognize that the hand of Heaven stands near to raise them above their present stature and to lift them into the lap of Divine Reality.

     In proclaiming that the "vast cosmic network of light assistance to the earth must be reactivated" I am thinking the practice of prayer in the public schools is most definitely a part of that vast cosmic network, which unfortunately has been deactivated in America by the U.S. Supreme Court (1962). This call to reactivate that cosmic network is therefore, in large measure, a clarion call to the Children of God, to restore prayer to the public schools of America.

     Some of you will remember reading about El Morya's Test of Trueness in the Daily Blogger some time back. You will remember that the Test of Trueness was presented by the Master as the catalytic component of expansion for this organization. Past the Test of Trueness, and the organization expands. Don't pass the Test of Trueness, and the organization, because nothing can stand still, will shrink.

     Look at it this way. In the physical octave, all escalators are moving down. If you simply stand still, the downward moving escalator stairs can only take you in one direction, and that is down. The only way up to the next floor, is to leap up the escalator stairs at a rate faster than those stairs are moving down. We do that with our daily decree work of course. But that is only one half of the two part epoxy of victory. If we are to remain glued to the Master's never ending spiral of acceleration, we must pass the Test of Trueness as well. When he is certain that we are all glued to his acceleration spiral, then the alchemy of organizational expansion can proceed.

     I have expanded my initial statement on this subject into an article which is, at the same time woven into the larger fabric of the entire Front Page content for October 2004. This is a reading event I am sure you will look forward to, and one that you will remember for a long time thereafter. Going up. The Golden Age is on that floor up yonder.

      The Goddess Meru on School Prayer

     In a previous post here, I made the point that the practice of School Prayer will be a part of any Golden Age culture. I believe we have a validation of that conclusion here, in a dictation by the Goddess Meru, wherein the issue of school prayer is mentioned, until the heading, "A Golden Age Standard." See what you think.

Vol. 10 No. 42 - Goddess Meru - October 15, 1967
A GOLDEN-AGE STANDARD
By God and Goddess Meru, II

     In the matter of prayer in the schools of America, in their desire to serve the equitable needs of a secular society the Supreme Court has literally thrown out all prayer, all religion, and all teachings pertaining to God. And thus, learning has been reduced to the simple expression of stereotyped academics. The moral fiber of the country has deteriorated under this misapplication of the Law.

     In their desire to turn to that which they thought was right, the planners of educational curricula have left behind essential ingredients so necessary in the building of character and understanding among people of all walks of life. The God Meru and I, as servants of the hierarchy and devotees of the needs of a planet, are suggesting that deep consideration and pondering of mind and heart shall be given to some of these aspects of life which are so often not brought to the fore because men are shortsighted.

     Here we given to understand that the act of throwing out all prayer, all religion, and all teachings pertaining to God (from the public square), is a misapplication of the law. And moreover, this particular misapplication of the law has had far ranging negative consequences, resulting in the deterioration of the moral fiber of the country.

     And take a look at the date this statement was made. That was in 1967! The Goddess Meru was commenting on a condition and process of moral deterioration that was well underway prior to the legalization of abortion by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973. Here we have a cause and effect link between the banning of school prayer, and the subsequent legalization of abortion. In other words, the deterioration of the moral fiber of the nation caused by the banning of school prayer, paved the way for the next major defeat of God's purpose in the legalization of abortion.

     And that means, that if we are to ever overturn legal abortion in this nation, school prayer must be restored first. Everyone who is now Pro-Life must place the school prayer issue on the front burner, and work as ardently for the restoration of school prayer as they do for the right to life of the unborn child. That is the winning strategy. Right to Prayer, Right to Life. Pro-Prayer, Pro-Life.

Always Victory!

     Susan Elizabeth Krister was the executive assistance to the Messenger up until the fall of 1985. I am not sure when she began in that position, but we know for sure when her service ended. In the fall of 1985, the Messenger released a Memorandum from El Morya, setting forth a discipline for Susan Krister, which included a six month ejection from her office. She never returned. This Memorandum from El Morya, which I will publish on the Front Page for October 2004 is an historic document. It brings to light the fact that a person, serving in a very high position of power, right under the nose of the Messenger, and thinking indeed that she is serving the purposes of the Brotherhood, can fall into habit patterns of power abuse, and not know it. And these patterns of power abuse can become so egregious that the only way to arrest these patterns, is to remove the person from office. There is much to learn from this situation, especially in regards to the responsibilities of the membership to forthrightly challenge the wrongdoing of any person in a leadership position.

      The Day of Accountability

     In posting the statement by the Goddess of Liberty below, in regards to the issue of School Prayer, we have come across the elucidation of a fundamentally defining principle that bears upon our own efforts to hold the leadership of this church accountable for their misdeeds. Allow me please to requote that precise section again here. If neccessary, you can look at the whole of the quoted statement below to get an idea of the context in which this statement is made. The context clearly supports the application of this statement to the great challenge we have before us, of holding the leadership accountable.

Vol. 29 No. 65 - Goddess of Liberty - November 23, 1986
Freedom 1986, "Lightbearers of the World, Unite!", IV
The Keepers of the Flame of Liberty
     Thus, beloved, the light sent forth from my causal body is the initiatic light demanding that all representatives of the people, public and private, must truly represent that Christ or be judged by that Christ. No longer will any escape irresponsibility of their treatment of any part of Life, beginning with their own children and moving on to their neighbors, to their shop keepers, to their businesses, and to their clients.

     Beloved ones, let all know that the day of accountability is here. And when you interact with people, you are responsible unto your own mantle of Christhood to deal justly, forthrightly, honestly, in harmony, and to make the Golden Rule a sound part of your life and a commitment." [p. 571]

[This dictation was delivered through the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet, at Camelot, on July 5, 1986]

     I am very grateful that the Goddess of Liberty has been so forthright here, and so clear, sweeping aside any possibility of confusion. "Beloved ones, let all know that the day of accountability is here."

     This statement tells us that our efforts to hold the leadership of this church accountable for their misdeeds, all of our efforts in this regard, are in perfect alignment with the purposes of God. And as the leadership denies accountability, as they run away from the principle of accountability, you can be sure of this, that they are not running towards to the sun, but away from it, in the very opposite direction. Indeed they are running deeper and deeper into the gathering darkness of rebellion itself. And we yet run after them with an orb of fire.

     And when we catch up to them, now and again, we tackle them, and the Holy Angels will hold them to the ground, and we will hold their feet to that fire, and we say to them, see, your feet are dirty, they need to be washed. Will you take off your heavy boots and allow your feet to be washed? If they say no, we let them back up, and they instantly dash off again, heavy boots and all, in the very same direction, deeper and deeper into the gathering darkness, and again, the chase is on. I believe this is true, that they are shrinking, becoming like midgets, and every time we catch up to them, and hold their feet to the fire, we see that they are becoming smaller and smaller and smaller.

     And this is how the chase will finally end, when they have allowed their souls to be absorbed into the very mist of the maya itself, and as divine being, they are no more. We are so sorry, but they were warned, that if they retained their pride, and the stubbornness that goes with it, the very presence of the Light, which once promised them freedom, would be turned to darkness by their own foolish choices, making that stubbornness stronger than steel.

     Refusing to be absorbed into the domain of divine reality, where they freely adopt God's strength as their own strength, by adopting his will, as their own will, and his law, as their own law, they have instead become totally absorbed into the domain of rebellion, where they are at one with the entire forcefield of the false hierarchy, where their own pride and stubbornness, now takes on the whole momentum of pride and stubbornness which belongs to the entire warp and woof of the false hierarchy. Here, in exercising their freewill towards the dark side so many times, they have forfeited that free will completely, and they can no longer make choices that are independent of the will of the sinister force. Every decision that is set before them in their leadership roles is accompanied by a pressure to make the decision to the dark side, a pressure they cannot resist, bringing about the incremental disintegration of the purposes and plans of the Great White Brotherhood.

     How can they continue on believing they serve the Masters, when in fact they are in the service of the sinister force? How can they continue on believing they serve the Masters, when their very will has become one with the sinister force? It is because of the delusion of self-righteousness associated with the dweller of pride. Every act is seen as virtue, and justified as virtue, and if the law comes into conflict with their actions, they sweep the law off the table, and they feel justified in doing that too. This is not news. In the performance of a Beatles' tune on the Altar of the Holy Grail on July 4, 2003, and the subsequent REFUSAL OF THE LEADERSHIP TO HOLD LINDA WOROBEC ACCOUNTABLE, this is exactly what they did, and they have kept on in that mode of darkness ever since. All of them at that point, entered into a domain of rebellion against the Goddess of Liberty herself (the initiator on the 7 o'clock line), and the forcefield of dweller slavery has been increasing around them ever since.

     I ask you, what could be more clear, in regards to the duty and obligations of the entire church leadership at that time? Here is the word of the Goddess of Liberty (delivered 17 years before - so they cannot plead ignorance): "Beloved ones, let all know that the day of accountability is here." Every single member of the leadership refused to bend the knee to this statement by the Goddess of Liberty, elevating within their minds instead, all manner of justifications for not holding Linda Worobec accountable. So be it. They have made their choices. They have chosen the dark side. Let those with light sabers march forward to sweep them off the battle field.

     Finally, I would say this to all of those who feel a desire in their hearts to be obedient to the word of the Master, that this statement by the Goddess of Liberty "Beloved ones, let all know that the day of accountability is here," is like unto a rod of authority and power that we plant, in her name, in the midst of headquarters of this church, requiring all to come into alignment with the effort to implement due process procedures that give us the mechanisms by which we can hold leaders accountable in a orderly, fair, and just manner. The Goddess of Liberty, the hierarch of the 7 o'clock line of God-Gratitude says that the day of accountability is here. Let us implement that proclamation. And we do that, by standing up for the establishment and implementation of due process procedures that will allow all those in the leadership of this church who have chosen the dark side, to be held accountable.

     I hope that every member of this church will understand that every choice made to be silent in this area, every choice made to not act in this area, is a choice to be rebellious. I ask all of you to please turn around from your silence, turn around from your non-action, and start now to make your choices for the Right, and for the Light.

Always Victory!
Sincerely,

     The Goddess of Liberty Speaks
     to the Issue of School Prayer

     This statement by the Goddess of Liberty (given through Elizabeth Clare Prophet in 1986) places the school prayer issue (and the abortion issue) in a very important context. Of course, the meaning is clear, that school prayer is one of our inalienable rights. And another thing too. We have lost that inalienable right because we have allowed ourselves to become confused as to what our rights are. And we have become confused in that respect, because we have, in most cases, completely forgotten who we are. We are the Children of God, endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights, among these being the right to ensure that our children are raised in a posture of respect for God, who is our Father, and Creator. Prayer in the public schools is an important part of the process of making sure that this respect is a part of the character of our children. Lose that respect, and you will eventually lose the cohesion of society itself. And so, teaching the children in the right way to go in this respect, is another inalienable right that we have, for if we do not have the right to safeguard the integrity of our civilization, what good is any other right to us? In the chaos that is sure to come, they will all be stripped away from us anyway.

Vol. 29 No. 65 - Goddess of Liberty - November 23, 1986
Freedom 1986, "Lightbearers of the World, Unite!", IV
The Keepers of the Flame of Liberty
     Thus, there is missing in the chief justices and in the supreme courts of the states this plumb line of Truth and this standard that the divine right, and not alone the human, must be preserved in law and in the courts. Thus, you must know what are the divine rights of each individual in order that you might discover whether or not those divine rights are violated by human laws and judicial decision.

     Therefore begin promptly following my address to list those rights that you consider inalienable because they come from your divinity. This is the meaning of the divine right --- that you are divine and that, being the [Light-emanation of the] Divine One, you have a right to be that one on earth as in heaven. This is the foundation of the law and government of this nation. And it is to the restoration of this founding principle by the Light of the God Star Sirius that I address you this day, beloved!

     Do you understand? ["Yes!"]

     Now, therefore, in the giving of the prayer vigils for the laws and the lawmakers, for the courts and systems of justice, it will take a very careful review of that which has been done --- error laid over the original Constitution, error of interpretation based on the defense of human rights at the expense of someone's divine right to pursue a path of initiation, to take accountability for his karma, to "work out his salvation" before God and with God, "with fear and trembling" before that LORD and that One." [pp. 566-67]

. . . . . 
     You must understand the deadly nature of those who have entrenched themselves within this system. You must realize that in this hour America must become fully a Light nation, protected by the Light, drawing her laws into conformance with the laws of God so that these laws supported by the people and the courts which are in violation of divine law do not therefore become instruments of the heavy karma upon the nation that is present already.

     I speak of the liberal abortion laws and of the absence of prayer in the schools. I speak of liberal laws concerning pornography as the desecration of woman and the Woman clothed with the Sun, whose representative I AM. "

     Be diligent, then, and watchful. And see to it that those who contain the ensign, the standard and the banner of the Cosmic Christ --- you yourselves --- study those laws and decisions handed down by the supreme courts and the courts of the states and that you give your calls and your evening prayer vigils for the righting of the axis of the law and government in America." [p. 571]

. . . . . 
     Thus, beloved, the light sent forth from my causal body is the initiatic light demanding that all representatives of the people, public and private, must truly represent that Christ or be judged by that Christ. No longer will any escape irresponsibility of their treatment of any part of Life, beginning with their own children and moving on to their neighbors, to their shop keepers, to their businesses, and to their clients.

     Beloved ones, let all know that the day of accountability is here. And when you interact with people, you are responsible unto your own mantle of Christhood to deal justly, forthrightly, honestly, in harmony, and to make the Golden Rule a sound part of your life and a commitment." [p. 571]

[This dictation was delivered through the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet, at Camelot, on July 5, 1986]

     What is the intent of the Ascended Masters communicated to us here? They intend for us to understand who we are. They intend for us to understand what our rights are. They intend for us to stand up for those rights, and stop this mindless surrender to every encroachment in this area. We have a right to have prayer in our public schools. We must go back now, and reclaim that right. It is clear enough to me that this is most definitely a fundamental part of what a Golden Age will look like. In a Golden Age, there will be prayer in the public schools, you can be sure of that. And so, let's roll up our sleeves, and bring that aspect of the Golden Age into manifestation NOW!

Always Victory!
Sincerely,
Your Little Brother,

      Archangel Gabriel on School Prayer

     I think we need to be reminded, now and again, that the Archangels are in favor of School Prayer. How in the world could the minds of the American people be turned against the wisdom of such awesome minds filled with such vast illumination? These divine minds, which encompass the entire physical universe, manifesting the most awe inspiring and perfect mastery of all energies therein, understand, yes, that's right, they UNDERSTAND that it is important for the children in their schools to be able to say a simple prayer. Please take a couple of minutes to contemplate what the Archangel said on this subject back in 1978. Yes, speaking of whirlwinds.

Vol. 21 No. 53 - Gabriel - December 31, 1978
Mysteries of the Holy Grail
ARCHANGEL GABRIEL ON
THE MYSTERY OF SELFHOOD, VI

     The root of error within this generation is to be found within parents and teachers who have neglected to inculcate within the soul of the child the understanding of communion with the innermost Person of God, the Christ Self of each one. The soul who is one in that Christ, saved by that Christ, cannot be subject to the extremism of fanatics of left and right. And those parents who have sought to defend freedom of religion by denying all religion, those who have sought to remove from the public schools the simple prayer, the Christmas carol, the observance of the holy days of Christian, Jew, or Moslem it is they who have sown the wind and who will reap the whirlwind of the barren consciousness that they have willed upon their children!

     The seven archangels stand within the schoolhouses of America and we give the Lord's Prayer for the little children whose mouths have been stopped, whose devotional nature has been tethered to a scientific humanism that declares, "With man all things are possible," instead of recognizing the great truth of being: "With God all things are possible unto man."

     Yes, we recite the Psalms in a vacuum of spirituality where the matter universe itself threatens to collapse because of the failure of the children of God to infuse the blessed earth with the balance of light that always flows through prayer and meditation and devotions of the heart. And thus the most frightful programming of all is that programming of the children of a material civilization and a mechanized culture to a self-sufficiency outside of God.

     I believe that in saying this, "The soul who is one in that Christ, saved by that Christ, cannot be subject to the extremism of fanatics of left and right." It is to be taken to mean that the soul who is one in that Christ is not susceptible to being pulled into one extreme or the other, but rather, is firmly anchored in the middle way, the way of total divine freedom in God. Here the idea of stable children, and the Rock of Christ, merge into one.

Always Victory!

Your Little Brother,

      Cotton vs. Acrylics

     I have never felt comfortable wearing anything but pure cotton. And I think I understand why. Cotton is composed of molecules freshly processed through the consciousness of the Angel Deva's that oversee the cotton plants. These molecules are pure. On the other hand, the molecules that comprise acrylic fabrics are derived from petroleum, which is decomposed vegetable matter many millions of years old. Perhaps it is simple as that. That these molecules are in a decay spiral. And if you wrap yourself in billions upon billions upon billions of atoms which are in a decay and decomposition spiral, then one's consciousness will be pulled down along with it.

     Though I believe that there might be another dimension to this as well.

     I understand, correct me if I am wrong, that the great lakes of crude oil way beneath the earth's crust date from the era wherein the dinosaurs stalked this earth. This was not a time of great spiritual victory for this planet. And moreover, the only way that much vegetable matter could have been thrown so deeply under the earth's surface, was through a tremendous cataclysm, which is associated with the return of some very negative karma. So this must have been a time of very great rebellion against the purposes of God, and these molecules would have those records attached to them. And since these atoms have never been reprocessed through the heart of a divine being (within the nature kingdom, giving them an upward spin again) those records would still be attached. In the present day, after the crude oil has been pumped out of the ground, these molecules have simply been chemically rearranged in the form of fibers, and the fibers woven into fabrics.

     Now, it is fine to burn this stuff in our cars and furnaces, i.e. petroleum products. That is certainly the proper way to transmute those records. But to weave that stuff into a fabric and wear it? No, I don't think that is very smart at all. I believe the wearing of acrylics has the effect of pulling the consciousness down into the domain of decay and decomposition wherein these petroleum molecules and atoms still reside. And perhaps, moreover, tying the consciousness into the weighty records of rebellion that are associated with that prehistoric era.

     It is true that plastics can play an important role in our economy. Lot's of good an useful things can be made out of plastic. I just think that we should draw the line when it comes to wearing it on our bodies.

Always Victory!

Your Little Brother,

      Greg Olsen's Art

Heir to the Kingdom
by Greg Olsen
     I recently discovered an artist that I was not heretofore aware of, by the name of Greg Olsen. He has produced some very beautiful works all of which radiate a very beautiful quality of light. He has many distinctly religious works. For example, "A Light to the Gentiles", "Alpha and Omega", "Be Not Afraid", "Children of the World", "Don't Forget to Pray", "Forever and Ever", "O Jerusalem", "He is Risen", "Heavenly Hands", "In His Constant Care", "In His Light" ,"In Remembrance of Me" ,"Keeper of the Gate", "King of Kings", "Lost No More". And lots of children's works too, many of which have the Norman Rockwell kind of innocence. For example, "Airship Adventures", "Bon Voyage", "Children of the World", "Confidant", "Cream and Sugar", "Daddy's Little Girl", "Delicate Balance", "Denim to Lace", "Don't Forget to Pray" "Dress Rehearsal", "Fairy Tales", "Fountains of my Youth". And some of a more generalized spiritual nature. The "Heir to the Kingdom", reproduced above left, is one of my favorites, as well as the "Sacred Grove" shown below.

Sacred Grove

     You can visit the website of World Wide Art to see the full array of Greg Olsen's works. It's very impressive and definitely worth your time.

      Operation Dawn - Fallujah, Iraq

     Fallujah, Iraq, where our American Forces, alongside the new Iraqi Military units are currently engaged in an epic struggle to destroy the forces of terrorism entrenched there, we might remember, was also site of the ghastly attack against 4 American contractors, on March 31, 2004. Take a look at this place, and you will be able to see immediately, why we need to make daily calls to Archangel Michael to clean out this nest of vipers. This is a concentrated focus of the forces of anti-freedom. Iraq will never know peace, freedom, democracy, and justice, until this focal point of opposition is neutralized. Have mercy on our American and Coalition troops who have to go nose to nose with these demons. Please look, and see, and make those calls every day. Here you can take a look at an aerial view of the city of Fallujah using the National Geographic Map Machine.

     The image starts out at the widest view, so you will need to use the zoom tools on the right to zoom in closer. You can zoom in pretty close, where you can see the buildings, and the big wider river on the left. Please be patient, the web page is graphic intensive.

      Coming Attractions - 1

     A false, exaggerated, and distorted view of Thomas Jefferson's personal philosophy of church/state separation has been used as a club, for more than fifty years now, to beat down the arguments of those who advocate the return of prayer to the public schools. Many years ago I found a very interesting document signed by Thomas Jefferson. This document makes it clear, that what the opponents of school prayer say that Thomas Jefferson believed, well it just wasn't so. He would be flabbergasted that his memory is being used to prop up a policy that he would find repugnant and offensive to the very core of his being. I have finally pulled the document out of my files, and transcribed it, and I will include it on the October 2004 Front Page. And it will be just in time for Thanksgiving!

      Missile Defense Briefing Reports

     I wanted to share with you two of the most recent Missile Defense Briefing Reports from the American Foreign Policy Council. President George W. Bush is pressing ahead in this area in a very determined manner.

MISSILE DEFENSE BRIEFING REPORT NO. 159
American Foreign Policy Council, Washington, DC
http://www.afpc.org
November 8, 2004

THE EMERGING AMERICAN MISSILE SHIELD
The Bush administration's missile defense system is making steady progress, both at home and abroad, a top U.S. defense official has disclosed. Speaking at a late October Washington luncheon convened by the George C. Marshall Institute, General Henry "Trey" Obering, the new Director of the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency (MDA), outlined the evolving shape of American missile defense efforts. Washington, Obering revealed, plans to accelerate the deployment of Aegis-equipped cruisers worldwide. Two such vessels currently operate in the Sea of Japan, and four or five should be in service by year's end, with plans for eighteen by 2007. The Aegis ships are currently serving as forward-deployed radar platforms, but will eventually be equipped with SM-3 interceptors to destroy medium-range ballistic missiles.

The Ground-based Midcourse segment of the U.S. missile defense shield is also making progress, according to the MDA Director. By year's end, 8 interceptors will be in place - 6 at Fort Greely, Alaska and 2 at Vandenburg Air Force Base in California - to guard against North Korean missile launches, while another interceptor site, to be erected in either continental Europe or Great Britain, will soon expand coverage to allies within range of Iranian ballistic missiles. The "Cobra Dane" radar tracking site on Shemya Island, Alaska has also been upgraded, and similar modifications to the Flyingdales Royal Air Force Base in Great Britain should be finished by February. Meanwhile, work is underway to complete and station a massive, pontoon-deployable X-band radar, capable of detecting a golf ball-sized object 1,000 miles away, off the coast of Alaska.

UPDATING THE "AXIS"
In the wake of Saddam Hussein's ouster, U.S. policymakers are expressing concerns over the WMD activities of a revised trio of nations, the Associated Press (October 27) reports. In Japan to monitor the latest interdiction exercises of the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) in late October, Undersecretary of State John Bolton told the American Center in Tokyo that "North Korea, Iran and Syria, among others, are clearly states of proliferation concern." In response, Bolton urged the international community to conduct greater monitoring of the proliferation activities of those states. Nations participating in the PSI "should be ready to scrutinize shipments going to or from such states or terrorist groups," Bolton said.

ONE STEP FORWARD, ONE STEP BACK IN CANADA
Despite unabated parliamentary opposition in Ottawa, the Bush administration is continuing to hold out hope that the government of Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin will sign on to U.S. missile defense efforts. The latest diplomatic overture comes from U.S. Ambassador Paul Celluci, who has reassured Canadian policymakers that Washington does not expect a swift answer from Ottawa. "It's a decision for Canada to make, and we continue to hope that Canada will make a positive one," Celluci said in comments carried by Toronto's Globe and Mail on November 4th. "We're not going to put any time limits on this... We expect that [the debate] will proceed and we will be waiting to see what the decision is." The White House, however, appears to be facing another hurdle. A new poll released by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on November 5th finds that a majority of Canadians (52 percent) oppose a move by the Martin government to sign onto the Bush administration's missile defense initiative.

Nevertheless, the two governments are actively exploring other modes of cooperation. The American Forces Press Service (November 3) reports that the Canada-United States Bi-National Planning Group has begun assessing maritime and land-based threats as a prelude to determining whether the two countries should adopt a maritime system designed to supplement the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD).

CHINA SHOWCASES MISSILE MIGHT
The 5th annual International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, held in early November in the town of Zhuhai in China's Guangdong province, was the venue for a new display of missile prowess by the PRC. The Agence France Presse (November 2) reports that the Chinese government showcased over 100 weapons and aerospace products at the show, among them new innovations in air-defense systems and communications satellites. The centerpiece of the exhibition, however, was the B611 - a mobile, short-range surface-to-surface missile system with a range of 150 kilometers. Significantly, the exhibition also marked the first time China openly offered ballistic missiles for sale to international clients - a move that analysts see as a signal to Russia and Taiwan about China's "economic power" relative to both countries.

SECRET INTERCEPTOR DEAL BETWEEN LONDON AND WASHINGTON...
According to London's Independent (October 17), a secret deal between the White House and Downing Street has paved the way for the basing of U.S. anti-missile interceptors at the Fylingdales air force base in northern England. The British paper says that State Department and Foreign Ministry officials hammered out an "agreement in principle" for interceptor basing earlier this year in Washington. However, a formal basing request from the U.S. is not expected until after the next British elections, now projected to take place sometime in the spring of 2005. The move would dramatically expand British-American cooperation on ballistic missile defense, currently limited to radar upgrades at the Fylingdales site.

..CREATES RUMBLINGS IN RUSSIA
News of the possible UK deployment has fanned fears in Moscow. An October 19th communiqu‚ issued by Russia's Foreign Ministry termed the decision "a new alarming step" in the evolution of Washington's ballistic missile defense architecture, Interfax reported the same day. Other observers have been more explicit; "For the U.S., we remain a principal geopolitical adversary," Col.-Gen. Leonid Ivashov, the former Director of the Russian Defense Ministry's international department, has told the October 22nd edition of Nezavisimoye Voyennoye Obozrenie. Washington is now actively attempting to neutralize Russia's offensive nuclear potential, Ivashov said.

TOKYO SEEKS U.S. THEATER MISSILE DEFENSES
As part of its ongoing drift toward missile defense, the Japanese government is poised to finalize the procurement of the PAC-3, Flight International (October 19) reports. Officials in Tokyo and Washington are expected to ink a government-to-government accord this month formalizing Japanese acquisition of units of the advanced U.S. theater missile defense system. The news comes as part of Japan's plans for a rapid national missile defense acquisition and deployment - projected to cost some $1 billion over the next four years alone.

WASHINGTON AND NEW DELHI: DRIFTING TOWARD NORMALCY
Just six months after the unexpected election of the Congress Party caused a chill in political and strategic ties between the U.S. and India, the two countries again appear to be drifting toward convergence on the issue of missile defense. United Press International (October 22) reports that U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Christina Rocca visited New Delhi recently for consultations with her Indian counterpart, S. Jaishankar, on closer cooperation in the fields of civilian nuclear technology, space, high-tech commerce and missile defense. The consultations follow the signing last month of a framework cooperation accord, dubbed "Next Steps in Strategic Partnership," during Indian Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran's visit to Washington. According to Rocca, the emerging dialogue represents an "important policy shift" in relations between the two countries.

THE DPRK VERSUS SPACE-BASED DEFENSE
Add a new voice to the chorus of opponents to U.S. space-based defense. In an October 18th speech before the United Nations General Assembly, North Korea's UN delegate, Choe Su Hon, issued a public call for the international community to curtail America's potential for a deployment of anti-missile defenses in space. "[S]pace, the common heritage of humankind, must be used under all circumstances for the well-being of the peoples of all countries," Choe said in comments carried by North Korea's official KCNA news agency on October 25th. "The [U.S.] Missile Defence System will result in expanding military confrontation and arms race to the space and obstructing the peaceful development and use of the space."

U.S. INDUSTRY EYES UKRAINE
On an early October visit to Kiev, Thomas Pickering, senior vice-president of the Boeing Company, held consultations with outgoing Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma and other top government officials over an array of defense-industrial issues, including a potential Ukrainian role in U.S. missile defense efforts. Pickering's visit, the first such high-level industry contact with Ukraine since 1999, followed on the heels of contacts between the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency and the Ukrainian National Space Agency, the October 19th edition of Kiev's The Day newspaper reports. Among the topics discussed was the adaptation of the multilateral Sea Launch project, which already has Ukrainian participation, for test target launches.

      Please Stop the Subliminal Mind Control

     Dear Brit Hume, of Fox News, Special Report.

     Please, no more rainbows in your homosexual graphics. The use of a rainbow by the homosexual movement is an effort to subliminally manipulate the American mind. It started with the word "gay". And now they have taken over the rainbow. Men kissing each other, having anal sex, and fisting, has nothing at all to do with any rainbow. A rainbow is beautiful, homosexuality is not. It is ugly, coarse, crude, socially corrupting, politically divisive, and hatred generating. It always has been, it always will be. Be fair. Be sane. Don't fly their plane.

     The latest example was seen on November 5, 2004, during the Political Grape Vine Section, Jim Angle subsituting for Brit Hume, over his left shoulder, brightly colorful graphic, two very impressive rainbow rings intertwined with a graphic of the State of Texas.

     Please stop cooperating with the homosexual movement's subliminal manipulation of the American mind. No more rainbows, please.

      Homosexual Laxity Does Not Help America's Image

     I encourage everyone to think about how this whole homosexual marriage situation in America is providing fuel for the Islamic Fundamentalists to recruit people into that camp of individuals who are inclined to see America as the Great Satan, hated by God, and worthy to be destroyed.

     We don't speak the language, so this is largely hidden from us. But I think that I can safely predict that every sermon given in every Mosque throughout the Middle East and Persian Gulf areas, at least by the radicals who hate America, will mention this homosexual marriage situation. And of course, if it is disgusting to us, it is a thousand times more disgusting to the radicalized elements of the Muslim world. I believe it fans the furnace of hatred for America within the Muslim world that much hotter.

     And for that reason, part of our strategy to win in Iraq, ought to be a very high profile public campaign in America to put a cork in this homosexual marriage situation, and do it quickly. Let's give them a solid example that our culture respects the laws of God. Let us quickly take this powerful recruiting tool off the table. Let's get that Constitutional Amendment passed that will clearly and without ambiguity, outlaw homosexual marriage.

Always Victory!

Your Little Brother,

      The Military is No Place for Homosexuals

     The statement on homosexuality below, brings out the exact reason why you don't want homosexuals in the military. It is because these people are infested with some of the most intransigent astral entities. Why is that important? Because, in times of great danger, these astral entities will inspire their host to run for his life, in order that their free dinners might continue. In other words, they don't want to be standing over a dead corpse. Their life depends on their host staying alive. And if that life is in danger, they will inspire the feet to move away from the danger, not into the teeth of the danger, as soldiers are required to do. If you are a soldier, who depends on the courage of his fellows to stay alive, you don't want to have your life in the hands of a person like this, because he will not be able to resist taking that course of action that will save his own skin first, thereby exposing his comrades to deadly fire. For those people who are infested with astral entities, the display of courage it just not possible. And this makes them totally unfit for duty in the military.

     Now, here is a really interesting thing to consider. A while back I watched a documentary (Discovery Times Channel I believe) on Marine training at the Parris Island boot camp facility in South Carolina. For some reason I just loved to watch this. It just captivated me. Here we are seeing the drill sergeants getting right in the face of these recruits, and shouting at them at the top of their lungs, and I wondered what that was all about. And I think I see the reason. The idea is to break down pride. Specifically, that kind of pride that is rebellious, and which takes offense at being told what to do. Or takes offense at being critiqued. Stand up straight! Don't slouch! Shine those boots! In the military you want people who are obedient. You do not want rebels. In a combat situation, when a soldier is told what to do, he needs to do it, and quickly, because lives depend on it. The people who can take all of that for 3 months, well, by the time they stand on the parade ground before the gathered dignitaries and adoring families, they are stripped of their pride. They have been stripped of that rebellious kind of pride, and it is replaced with a good kind of pride, the pride of learning the skills necessary to defend one's country, to work as group, to watch each other's back, and to never leave a fallen comrade on the battlefield. This is pure honor, giving the totality of self for the safety of others.

     And so, here is the connection between the issue of homosexuals, and the manner in which Marines are trained. This process of stripping a recruit of the rebellious kind of pride serves two important purposes. Not only are you making a good and obedient soldier by stripping the recruit of this rebellious kind of pride, but you are at the same time doing exactly the right thing to weed out homosexuals.

     You see, this rebellious kind of pride is the open door to the astral entities which make a homosexual what he is. The psychology already has a tendency to feel proud about rebelling against God, or any authority figure. Having rebelled against authority, pushing God away, which is the only source of psychological strength, they find that they have no inner authority to resist the encroachment of these entities. This is the great irony associated with taking self-reliance to an extreme. And so, this is the open door where the astral entities enter in, and attach themselves to the lower desire body. As the drill sergeants work to strip a homosexual recruit of his pride, the astral entities will resist, and those entities will inspire within the mind of the recruit a galaxy of reasons why the Marine Corps is not for him. And instead of marching forward with his platoon, he is far more likely to march out the door, back to his normal life where the astral entities can live their lives in peace.

     We could do some more research here to verify this, but I think that you would find, that where the recruit training is the toughest, the fewer homosexuals you will have slipping through the cracks. I would think that the fewest homosexuals would be found in the Marine Corp. They have the toughest recruit training. The next toughest training would be found in the U.S. Army. Next would be the U.S. Navy, and probably the branch of service with the easiest recruit training, where you would mind most homosexuals, would be the U.S. Air Force.

     And so, the toughest recruit training is configured to strip the recruits of that rebellious form of pride that would allow the recruit to be the best possible soldier, and at the same time minimize the possibility that the soldier would be vulnerable to the attachment of those astral entities that would make the soldier act like a coward during battle. It appears to me that this training methodology is grounded in profound wisdom. Stand up straight! Don't slouch! Shine those boots! Yeah!

Always Victory!

      The Rat Hunter

     When the weather turns colder here in Southern California, and the temperatures drop during the evening hours especially, the rats, who normally live outside someplace, though I don't know where, in as much as I have never seen a rat outdoors anywhere around here, decide they need a warmer abode, and so, they come into our garage, and set up house there. These are not mice. These things are RATS, from six to eight inches long, not including their tails. And so, every autumn when we start to hear the rustling of the rats in the ceiling especially, I take out the big traps, and become the rat hunter. You don't think cats have a place in the natural order of things? At this time of year, I wish we had a cat. But we don't.

     And each year, I load the traps with peanut butter, set them out, and truly expect to catch the rats. But it never fails. They will always get the peanut butter without being caught themselves! How they do that, I am amazed anew. But I have a plan, and it begins with patience. I developed this plan a long time ago, but for some reason, I am always too impatient to try it when the rats first show up. I want to get the traps out there, and quick, hoping the rats are more dumb than usual, and hoping I will get them all on the first night. But I have never gotten any on the first night. Not once. And that was the case this year as well. And so, I retreat to my plan, which begins with patience.

     I put the traps out where the rats come and go, but I don't set them. I load the trigger mechanism with peanut butter, and I let them have their last supper, as it were, undisturbed. Actually I do that three times. I load the trap with peanut butter, set it out on one day, let them eat the peanut butter undisturbed, and then I do the same thing on the next day, and the same thing on the next day. This process seems to neutralize whatever it is in these rats which allows them to dodge a set trap. And then finally, on the next day, which is the fourth day, I put the traps out with the peanut butter, but now, the trap is set. The big heavy spring loaded whacker bar is pulled way back, and the retaining lever is positioned just so on the trigger mechanism. I am being really careful, because if you get your finger caught in this trap, it could break it. These are the big traps.

     Within a half hour of setting the traps I caught two rats. Big rats. The whacker bar catching each one on the snout. Both of these were still alive, and in cases like this, we need to figure out some way to end their lives in a merciful manner. I uses a 20 pound sledge hammer. No, I don't hit them with it. I just gently place it on them ever so slowly, to compress their lungs, so they can't breath, and they are dead in a very short time. This may not sound pretty, but it is practical advice. You don't want to open the trap while they are still alive, because they will run away. Even with a broken nose they will run away. Today I caught two more. And that is a total of FOUR.

     There are some things in this world that you are not allowed to have any sympathy for whatsoever. And rats are in that category.

Always Victory!

      What is Homosexuality? No More Half Truths Please

     Homosexuality is a bad habit, a deadly habit, a self-destructive habit that is made nearly intractible by the attachment of astral entities to the lower desire body. In the great majority of cases, the soul picked up this habit, and the attached astral entities along with it, in a previous embodiment. The soul carries that habit, along with those astral entities, into this lifetime, making it appear as if the soul was "born" a homosexual. Appearances can be deceiving and certainly are in this case. The idea that homosexuals are born with that sexual orientation is a classic half-truth. In other words, it is classicly diversionary. Half truths always divert attention away from a full understanding of the situation.

     Do we swear, or affirm, from this point on, that only the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so Help us God, will suffice for the present moment, and even for all time to come? Yes, Your Honor, we Do. Please be seated.

     Yes, 90% of all practicing homosexuals are born into the current embodiment with a very strong homosexual habit pattern already developed. But what is the other half of the story? The other half of the story is this. At some point in a previous embodiment, the soul, in a condition of great weakness and vulnerability, was tempted to engage in its first homosexual act, making that distinct freewill choice at that time. A foolish choice to be sure. But a freewill choice nevertheless. The first homosexual act, perhaps many lifetimes ago, allowed the attachment of one or more astral entities to the desire body, and from that point on, the lusts of these astral entities served to encourage additional homosexual activity into the future. The newly ordained homosexual is then born into successive incarnations with the homosexual desire resident in the lower desire body.

     The primary mission of the homosexual during each successive incarnation is to gain its freedom from this lifestyle and the condition of slavery imposed by these astral entities. However, no matter how guilty the soul feels in its heart about its outcast status in society, and this will never change, that guilt is overridden by the powerful lusts projected into its lower desire body by those attached astral entities that feed off the life force released in the homosexual act. I would estimate that at least 95% of the desire that the homosexual feels, is associated with the desiring of these astral entities.

     Excuse me for saying this, but where in the world do you think the desire comes from to place one's fist up the anus of another man? This is not the desire of a normal human being. This is the desire of an astral entity working through the desire body of the embodied individual. And what child of God actually feels good about being driven to do such things? Every homosexual, at the core of his soul is horribly ashamed. But the soul is horribly enslaved by the powerful lusts of these attached astral entities. These lusts overide the shame.

     As the American culture lowers its defenses to the homosexual lifestyle, more and more souls, who have never participated in homosexual activity before, are being tempted into it for the first time, and they are becoming hooked into the lifestyle by those astral entities. As a society, our interest should be the guarding of the innocent from being drawn into this lifestyle in the first place. The trend towards the legitimization of this behavior pattern must be reversed.

     This is so important, because this lifestyle, because it so difficult to get out of, comes very close to a death sentence for the soul who is so trapped. These astral entities hold the soul in a veritable death grip. Think about heroine addicts, and how it is nearly impossible to restore them to a state of freedom. It is because of another class of astral entities . For the same reason, it is very difficult to restore a homosexual to a state of freedom. It is because of the influence of these astral entities. They don't want to let go.

     The homosexual behavior pattern puts the soul into a spiritual death spiral, for the simple reason that the life energy the soul needs to build the psychological structure of divine devotion, is robbed from the soul by these astral entities. For the soul to return to God, the soul must choose to do so. Without the capacity to build these psychological structures of devotion to God, the soul cannot make that choice. Even if the soul could make that choice in the abstract, any soul whose astral body is infested with these astral entities will not be allowed through the gates of heaven. At any rate, the choice to return to God, is the choice to return to a state of respect for God's purpose and plan. The first step for a homosexual in this regard is to return to a state of respect for God's purpose and plan in the domain of sexual relations.

     The only hope for a homosexual, is for them to clean up their act. And this cleanup effort must be done in cooperation with the Holy Angels, who alone have the power to break the hold of these astral entities. Does a rose bud have hands that can reach up and pick off the attached aphids that are sucking out its vital juices? No. The soul, in its fallen state does not have spiritual hands either. It must rely on the hand of God. A Divine Being operating in a dimension of greater power must perform that service. And so, the first step towards freedom, is prayer. And the prayer must be a prayer for freedom.

     Once set free, and cleaned up, the soul must eschew any further contact with the homosexual lifestyle to ensure that these astral entities do not reattach themselves to the astral body.

Always Victory!
Sincerely,
Your Little Brother,

      God is the No. 1 Security Issue

     Behold the birth of a new bumper sticker, and the beginning of a new movement made possible by the re-election of President George W. Bush.

     Let us all marvel, as we bask in the afterglow of the election victory, that everyone on the political talk shows now, in trying to figure out why President George W. Bush won this election, are talking about God. Well, the discussion is about values, and values reduce to the subject of God, at least in those minds which are flexible enough to turn in that direction, and surprisingly, they were many today.

     This is a harbinger of what is to come. Sort of a faint glow in the eastern sky, a few hours before the sun actually rises.

     It's too bad that the impending victory of darkness is the only thing that'll bring American's back into the Light. That's what brought voters out to say NO to same-sex marriage in 11 states, and which most people agree gave George W. Bush his victory. People who cared about values carried him on their shoulders over the goal line. What got them onto the playing field at all, so it appears, was the specter of this onrushing tide of homosexual victory that threatens to engulf the nation. But those eleven initiatives are no more than a flimsy white picket fence standing in the way of Buffalo herd. You can already hear the thunder. Press your own ear down to the ground and see for yourself. The U.S. Supreme Court will trample that picket fence down so quickly, and so thoroughly, that the buffalo might as well have been walking on water. Watch and see.

     Tell the people today, that the single most important thing we can do to shore up the integrity of our traditional values, is to restore school prayer, and you will not get many listeners. Tell them after the U.S. Supreme Court tramples down that flimsy white picket fence, and you will have more listeners. And when homosexual marriage becomes an actual fact in the cities and towns of a particular State, you will have more listeners in that State. And when homosexual marriage becomes a fact in the cities, towns, and hamlets of the next State, you will have more listeners in that State. And when homosexual marriage becomes a fact in the villages, counties, and municipalities of the next State, you will have more listeners in that State as well. And so forth across the nation.

     Tell the people today, that the single most important thing we can do to shore up the security of our nation against terrorist attack, is to restore school prayer, and you will not get many listeners. Tell them after the next terrorist attack, and you will have more listeners. Tell them after the next terrorist attack, and you will have even more listeners. Tell them after the next terrorist attack, and you will have yet more listeners. And so forth. When will the stubborn stiff necked blindness of the American people be broken, and their eyes open to the truth, which they already know in their own hearts? God is the solution to every security problem.

     Please do your part to help America come to this conclusion sooner, rather than later. God is the No. 1 Security Issue. Paste this bumper sticker, not just on your bumpers, but on every clear and empty surface you can find. President George W. Bush respects God, respects prayer, and says he will do whatever it takes to protect America. If there was any President perfectly positioned to do the right thing at the right time, it is George W. Bush. He has the common sense to know, that restoring school prayer is a lot cheaper than rebuilding an entire city after a terrorist initiated nuclear blast.

Always Victory!

      George W. Bush's America - Global Champion of Liberty

     By committing us to the great cause of freedom for the Iraqi and Afghan people, President George W. Bush refreshes our core sense of identity as a nation. Revisit with me the fruit of those illumined minds, who, in 1776, put down on paper these eternal truths:

     "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." (source)

     These words were not written for Americans alone, but for all mankind. President Bush reminds us that our heritage, is the heritage of all nations. Verily, to argue against this noble cause to which he has set the shoulder of the nation, as John Kerry did, is to argue against eternal truth itself. The denizens of the pit will protest against every new flicker of the flame of freedom, and passionately so. But let the angels of light rejoice in the freedom of the children of God, by whatever race or culture they are known. Indeed, most blessed are those whose hearts light up with a passionate reverence for these immortal words planted as a diamond upon the brow of an infant America more than 200 years ago.

Always Victory!

      Choices Matter - Goodbye Yasser Arafat

     The Masters have told us that our choices matter. The more that we choose the Light, the more authority they have to remove the Darkness from the earth. The American people, in the re-election of President George W. Bush, have chosen the Light. They have chosen a Son of Liberty to lead them. Here is a man, out of whose mouth can proceed the words, "The Gift of Freedom is not just God's gift to America, it is God's Gift to all mankind." That is what comes out of the mouth of George W. Bush in a spontaneous manner. This extends from his heart of Light. And the American people chose him as our leader, the leader of the most powerful nation on earth.

     And what happened on the stage of earthly geo-politics at the very same time that America, in the election just concluded, found her true compass heading? Yasser Arafat is exiting stage left. This is no coincidence. This choosing of the Light by the American people, has allowed the Heavenly Host to take from the stage of life a very pronounced focal point of the blackest darkness the world has ever known, in terrorist Yasser Arafat. He is now in a coma, not expected to live. This is no coincidence. The American people, by their wise choice, has made it possible for a new day of freedom to dawn in the Middle East.

     And this is all the more significant, because President George W. Bush has spoken of his vision of liberty for the entire Middle East. And he has stated it many times before. A stable and free Iraq will help to produce change towards democracy throughout the entire region. This is one of the most important things that could happen to enhance the security of America. And so, as America chose this Son of Liberty to lead them, this humble soul who has his eyes pointed heavenward, God our Father smiled broadly, and extended his hand, and made more room on the table for this vision of victory for the entire middle east to manifest itself. There is no doubt about it. As long as Yasser Arafat clung to power, there was no chance for peace in the Middle East. Now there is a chance, a chance given to the people of the Middle East by both George W. Bush, and the American people, and by the hand of Divine Providence that they both respect so much.

Always Victory!

Your Little Brother,

      Beatles on Altar of Holy Grail

     Did you know that there is a web cam where you can see the Altar of the Holy Grail, in King Arthur's Court, the site of the infamous performance of a Beatles tune on the Altar of the Holy Grail on July 4, 2003 by Church Manager Rev. Linda Worobec? Here it is.

     Did I hear somebody say that they are deeply offended that I have placed an image of the Beatles, this taken from the back side of their Yellow Submarine Album, right smack dab on the sacred Altar of the Holy Grail? Did I hear somebody say that? Look at John Lennon there. That hand signal he is using, is the sign of SATAN. That sign of SATAN is right over the Chart of the Presence. (I talked about that hand signal here).

     I am only showing you what is actually recorded in the akashic record, yes, right on the very Altar of the Holy Grail. The performance of a Beatles Tune, by Church Manager Rev. Linda Worobec, anchored the electronic presence of the Beatles on our sacred altar. That record is still there. Do you know why it is still there? Because of the free will of those who put it there, and because of the free will of those who allow it to remain there. The only way to remove that record, is for the Church Leadership to admit that it should not be there. Very simple. But you know, they have never admitted that. To admit that, well, they would have to admit that Linda Worobec did something wrong, and to do that, her whole mountain of self-justification would have to come tumbling down.

     The Masters can allow the light to sweep away that record, only when the freewill of those who put it there will allow it. It is their record. It is a record that belongs to the whole community through their agreement. If you don't like the above image, I can tell you how to get rid of it. Demand that the Church Leadership make a public admission that their Church Manager made a horrible mistake by performing a Beatles tune on the Altar of the Holy Grail. Demand that she be disciplined appropriately for this audacious rebellion. When that happens, the record can be removed, and not before.

     By leaving this image on the Altar, what does that say about who or what the leadership is worshipping? What are they putting above God? What are they putting above the truth? What are they putting above their faithfulness to the Teaching? What are they putting above the good of the organization? Something has a higher priority to them than all four of these things. And they are teaching membership, by their example, to honor that other thing, as they honor it. What is it?

     Hint: It is not the Bride of Christ. It is the _____ of the ___ ____ .

     I have proudly cast my vote for President George W. Bush. That was about 2:30pm PST here in California on a nice warm and sunny Tuesday afternoon. There were no lines here. A sleepy little suburb are we. As I watch the returns into the early evening here, I am confidant, and encouraged, that the majority of people who decided to vote appear to have recognized the same virtue in President George W. Bush as I have. Wouldn't it be nice if the people of our organization could choose its leaders in the same orderly and non-violent manner? I think so.

      A Crown of Self Esteem, or the Bare
      Bones of Shame, Which Will it Be?

     If you haven't noticed, President George W. Bush has placed another jewel in our crown of national self-respect, in our crown of national self-worth. Our hearts can shine anew with the golden hue of genuine self-esteem as we contemplate the undeniable truth, and history will record it, that we Americans have stood for freedom, yet again. The most precious and valuable commodity on earth, we have championed it, yet again. We have acted together as a nation, and we have set 50 million people free, yet again. Such a jewel of truth, is a jewel of genuine and eternal self-respect, that will be set in the crown of the nation forever, revealing, in its comforting brilliance, the reality of a greater glory that is yet to come. These are the jewels that God our Father would have us collect in great abundance. Truly this man is about his Father's business. He is a true leader. He has beckoned us to come up higher, onto the path of Light, of noble virtue, of self-sacrifice, that has produced the fruit of hope in the hearts of millions who before, knew it not.

     This clarifies the difference between the leadership of George W. Bush, and what we can expect from Senator John Kerry.

     Under President George W. Bush, we march ahead as a nation, within the spirit of nobility, and strike a blow for goodness in the world. Under Senator John Kerry, he would sit in his office, pleading and begging with the members of the United Nations, and other "great" European powers to come along and support us on this, or that venture, and because these corrupt little people rejoice in having a veto power over the actions of the American superpower, they will continue disagreeing for spite, to cling to what little power they have over us.

     But they have no power. That is clear enough from their clearly manifest impotence.

     And so, George W. Bush said in his heart, and proclaimed it to the world, that they have no power to hold us back. And that is why we have this glowing jewel of self-esteem in our crown right now, a jewel of self-esteem that will glow from generation to generation. And of course the world froths at the mouth with jealousy.

     But Senator Kerry would give these potentates power over our destiny, allowing them to give us their "global test" before we make a move in any direction. And if we don't pass their test, we must stand with them in the stagnant pool of inaction. Kerry adores this idea of achieving a consensus among corrupt little men. But the only consensus possible among corrupt little men is to do nothing. And so, under his leadership, we would do nothing. And you can be sure of this, that at the beginning of a Kerry Presidency, he would take that Crown of National Self-Esteem, and put it in a drawer, for he hates the brilliant light that sparkles from the jewels thereupon, and no additional jewels would be added over his term. And when we are all done, what would he give us to remember him by, but the bare bone of shame?

      Please, Give the Angels a Reason to be Happy

     I ask the American people to please give all the angels in heaven a reason to wear a broad smile on their shining faces this day. You can do this by re- electing President George W. Bush, whose initials are the same as the Great White Brotherhood, for another four year term of office as our Commander-in-Chief. Yes, give all the heavenly host a reason to rejoice, and to pour out their profound gratitude upon us.

     The people of America, under the leadership of President George W. Bush, have been reminded that the United States is a Beacon of Liberty for an entire planet, that we don't swim in the pool of liberty all by ourselves, but share the water of freedom with all nations, especially those who have thirsted for that cup of cold water for decades while imprisoned in the scorching desert of dictatorship and oppression.

     Keep this sharing spirit alive by voting to return President George W. Bush to office. This is one thing that is guarenteed to cause the angels of heaven to jump for joy. They will be joyous not for themselves, because they are forever free, but for those whose freedom will be guarenteed by the continued service of this honored Son of Liberty.

      Vietnam and Iraq: There is a Common
      Problem, and a Common Solution

     I have to tell you the truth, that in one very fundamental way, Iraq is turning out to be very similar to Vietnam, and this photograph drove home this truth. Please go look.

      http://www.swiftvets.com/index.php?topic=VillageVisit

      It is not like the history of Vietnam begins in 1958. But that is when our involvement began there in earnest. At least from that point on, and continuing forward, groups of well-armed murderers roamed South Vietnam, under the banner of an ideology, Communism, and they were called the Vietcong. They murdered and terrorized the villagers who had the courage to stand for freedom. The short story that you will find beneath this photo, gives us one example of this. But there are thousands of examples of terrorist brutality committed against the leaders of hundreds and thousands of small villages. Thousands and thousands of village leaders were brutally assassinated by the Vietcong. Each assassination carried the message of terror. And the villagers were thoroughly terrorized. Yet, the presence of America gave them hope. Look at that hope in the eyes of these children. They knew, at the soul level, who their friends were. We were their friends, until we betrayed them, at the bequest of people like John Kerry, into the hands of their slave masters (the Communists).

      Sure, life goes on in Vietnam today. If you are good slave, if you keep your mouth clean, you will have the best life that Communism can give you. If you have any integrity and honor, if you love freedom and say so, they will terrorize you, they will beat you, they will imprison you, and if none of that works, after all, they desire for the message of brutality to remain standing as long as practicable, they will kill you. And the killing goes on to this very day.

      The same thing is happening in Iraq, generally speaking, but under a different banner. Band of murderous thugs roam the countryside, using murder and all manner of violence to terrorize those who have the courage to stand up for freedom. These march under the banner of a fundamentalist form of Islam. And of course, they also march under the banner of the old regime, having roots itself in Communism (Joseph Stalin was Saddam Hussein's Hero). But it is one banner, the banner of hatred, hatred for freedom, hatred for those who espouse it, who have the courage to stand for it. It is a banner of murder, behind which they march, to cut down those who are really, the Children of God.

      This is a tenacious and tough battle, difficult to fight, because the enemy has no honor. They are terrorists at heart. They live to murder, that is all. The blood lust of the demons pass through them as their own thoughts and feelings. Here is a key. They will stop, only when the demons that power them are eliminated. And so wishful thinking is not going to win this battle. No, not even superior American arms. And no, not even the courage of those in Iraq who love freedom. These things did not win the battle in Vietnam. They will not win the battle in Iraq.

      And so, we are faced with exactly the same question. Will America stand in this battle unto the victorious end?

      Remember that America's involvement in Vietnam started under the Eisenhower administration in the late 1950's. Victory was certain at that time. And hope was alive. It was carried forward by the Kennedy administration during the early 1960's. Victory was certain at that time. And hope was alive. It was carried forward through the Johnson administration through the mid to late 1960's. Victory was certain through the first half of the Johnson administration, and hope remained alive, but the idea of victory was abandoned by the end of that administration. And all hope died. It was the Vietcong's 1968 Tet Offensive that destroyed the hope in the hearts of millions. The spine of Walter Cronkite collapsed, and with it, much of the nation. Nixon came into office, amplifying that theme, under the banner "Peace with Honor." And of course, John Kerry added enormous volume to that reverse battle cry for America's abandonment of its responsibility to stand for freedom in South East Asia.

     Now, Nixon might have appeared like a warrior. But Nixon's only purpose was to bomb the Communists into one level of submission, that they would come to the peace table, and give America the fig leaf it needed to withdraw, a fig leaf that has these golden words written thereon, "Peace with Honor." Ultimately, a false peace was negotiated, allowing Communist forces to remain in place in South Vietnam, and then America, sick and tired of this war, sick and tired of this battle for freedom, sick and tired of paying the price for liberty, went home, turned her back while the Communists completed their conquest of South Vietnam, overrunning it completely in 1975. Clearly the most dishonorable chapter in the history of America. This record is pitch black with the most grotesque dishonor. And of course John Kerry blends right into it. And he calls it virtue.

      And so, the point is, that the battle is only begun for the victory of freedom in Iraq. It is only begun. The longing eyes of wishful thinking peer into the future, and they see victory, but as that victory is pushed back, and back, and back, as the demons find more and more hosts for the expression of their blood lust, killing and terrorizing as if there could be no end at all to it, the people will incrementally lose their hope, and people like John Kerry, (he is already talking about an "honorable" way to withdraw), will exploit that downward spiral, and in the years that lie ahead, the laurel wreath of victory will lie in the dust, in the same way it does today, in regards to Vietnam. And these false leaders will hand the people a badge of honor, that makes them believe that they did the right thing, by abandoning the battlefield yet again.

      Those of us who have a desire for the victory of freedom in our hearts, and the fire of hope that goes along with, cannot imagine failure coming upon us. But neither did the friends of freedom see failure coming upon them in Vietnam, from 1958 to 1968. For ten years, hopes were kept alive, and burning brightly. But in 1968, all of sudden, the concept of failure took hold of nearly everyone, like a hurricane that swept away everything that was not bolted to the ground.

      I believe it will happen the same way in Iraq, if America does not come to terms with the root cause of our failure in Vietnam. Why, after all the noble sacrifices made by America for the victory of freedom in South Vietnam, even in all of Vietnam, blood and treasure, and mountains of both heaped high, did we fail? Why were these murderous thugs, in the case of the Vietnamese Communists, able to bend our will, from the straight arrow of hope, into the bent twig of despair? Why?

      The reason was written down by a Prophet of God, more than 3000 years ago. And we forgot about it. We thought that it does not apply to us. And so, we have reaped the fruit of our neglect, and as we eat it up, and feel that bitterness in the belly, our minds are supposed to open a door, the door of "Why?", through which the angels can send the emissaries of truth. Let us consider the bitterness, and let us ask why with an open mind, opening a door to an understanding of this great and timeless truth, that those who neglect the wisdom of God, cannot expect to prevail in anything that they do, then or now.

      From the Old Testament, The Book of Psalms, Psalm 127:1, A Song of the degrees of Solomon:

"Except the LORD build the house,
they labour in vain that build it: except
the LORD keep the city, the watchman
waketh but in vain."

      My friends, did we labor in vain in Vietnam? It appears to be so. For there is only slavery there now.

      The question is, when we are similarly 30 years past our experience in Iraq, will we be looking back at the same bitter conclusion?

      The only thing that will save us from this fate, is our acceptance of our mistake, our repentance, and our penance, sincerely and genuinely entered into. And I am talking about the whole nation.

      What was our mistake? As I tell you what the mistake was, be prepared to confront the great momentum of denial that the forces of darkness have laid across the minds of the American people on this issue like a thick and suffocating blanket.

      We allowed the U.S. Supreme Court to ban School Prayer beginning in 1962. Kennedy himself applauded this decision, and we know what happened to him. This represented a collective denial by our nation of the relevance of God to our national activities. And so, God said to us, Ok, see how well you can do without me. Not only did we suffer the most egregious presidential assassination since the death of Lincoln, we suffered, over the short span of ten years, our first ever defeat on the battlefield. Kennedy, the man who solidified our commitment to the freedom of Vietnam, found himself without protection, and was assassinated himself. And our nation, suffered its first ever defeat on the battlefield there. Even though we were in Vietnam for a noble cause, the U.S. Supreme Court said, Kennedy said, and we said, we can do this without God. We don't need him. And so, even pursuing nobility, we failed. What a profound lesson there is in this for the nation.

      This is what we must realize. The prayers of 60 million school children, even if the prayer is short, is answered by God our Father. In answer to these prayers, God our Father would release billions upon billions of holy angels into action, which would have, and could have, swept the battlefield of Vietnam clear of all demonic forces, and the Vietnamese Communists, being without their will to win, to murder, to destroy, it would have been the Vietnamese Communists who lost their nerve, and not us. The equation is so simple in this respect. If 60 million school children could have said their simple prayer to the Divine Sponsor of our nation each morning, we would be standing here today, wearing the laurels of victory, not carrying the burden of shame associated with defeat, free of all of those twisted and perverted aspects of our national psychology that tries to make defeat look like a victory. O how things would have been different if billions upon billions of holy angels could have marched in answer to the prayers of our Nation's children, each and every day, 1962 to the present hour. The world would be a totally different place.

      Look at all the pathologies that attack our society today. All of these would be substantially less, or even non-existent in many cases.

      Now, catch that buzzing fly within yourself, that voice that says that this is not so, and you see the voice of the demon that has your ear, tempting you to continue to deny the relevance of God. And as you continue to be deceived that this is the voice of your soul, as you act out this denial in your life, and the life of the nation, God says to you, ok, lets see how well you and your nation can do without me. Certainly, as the rubble piles up around you, at some point you will finally realize that you are mistaken, and that you are following the wrong voice. The only question is, how high does the rubble have to be, before you come to this realization? How high does the rubble have to pile up, before you realize that the voice within you that argues for the denial of God, comes out of the pit, and not out of heaven? That is the question.

      And so we stand, on this ground of terror today, when the prospect of the use of a nuclear weapon against America by terrorists, who are working feverishly every day to secure the possession of such weapons, is now a real possibility. Every single terrorist expert, without a single exception, will admit to you, that it is no longer a matter of "if", it is only a matter of when, the terrorists will succeed in obtaining and detonating a nuclear device on American soil. And still the voice that tells the people that God is irrelevant, is heeded yet. It will not be heeded when the first nuclear blast is detonated, I can tell you that. But why in the world are we so stiff necked and stubborn as a nation to require this nuclear blast to get us to accept the truth of the ages, "Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain." Why?

      We must restore School Prayer now. We cannot hesitate. It is only the prayers of millions of God's Children, in the schools of this nation, that will allow God our Father to release the angelic resources necessary to sweep those demonic forces off the current terrorist battlefield. These are the forces that are behind the lust to detonate a nuclear weapon in New York City, in the very sight of the Statue of Liberty. Can you imagine a normal human being have a hatred so all encompassing that they would feel joy at the vaporization of hundreds of thousands of human beings? It is impossible. These lusts for mass destruction come only from the hearts of demonic forces who desire to strike a fatal blow against God himself, and since they cannot reach God, they will destroy what is most precious in his sight, and that is, HIS CHILDREN.

      We can continue to strike at the various hosts these demonic forces happen to be using, this host, or that host, this channel, or that channel, to express their monumental lusts for mass destruction. While this provides a useful temporary staying action, and is good, for our immediate defensive needs, in the end, we will find that our efforts were in vain. These demonic forces exist on the astral plane, and it is only the holy angels of God that will bind them. This is the only way. And these blessed angels cannot act, as long as America refuses to collectively, as a nation, recognize the relevance of God.

      This divine recognition was expressed, as a matter of self-evident truth, in the collective practice of prayer in our public schools. In 1962 it was removed. The ability of God our Father to intercede on a massive scale was removed along with it. We must restore it with an Amendment to the Constitution that will stand for all time. It is the source of our national safety. The only source.

      Restore School Prayer today, and I promise you, that things will begin to turn around. But it will not be overnight. Our stiff-necked stubbornness, is like a huge sea going super tanker, heavily laden with millions of tons of crude oil, headed not to some port, but straight for the shore, to crash thereupon, to spew out its cargo of energy potential, never to be collected in one place again. It will take time to turn this tanker. With the restoration of school prayer, the angelic tug boats will begin right away, nudging the nation away from its rendevous with total destruction. But we must cooperate. We must cooperate in this great turning action. As we cooperate, we ratify our allegiance to the divine purpose. And therefore, we signal to God, that what we allow our children to pray for, we ratify with our own hearts.

      And in this respect, we must cooperate with the banning of legal abortion in this nation. This alone represents the mainstream of our faulty navigation. The ship must turn, and it will turn. For there is a common nexus here, between the threat of terrorism, and abortion. In the same manner that lusts for mass destruction exist in the hearts of demons, and not real people, so too, this insensitivity towards the slaughter of 40 million innocent children in the womb, has its origin in the black hearts of demons, not in real people. When School Prayer is restored, these creatures of the pit, these astral abortion advocates, will be taken as well, and the great force of dark feeling and dark thought they placed upon so many minds will be progressively eliminated, allowing the people to finally think freely, and soberly on this issue, allowing the thoughts of angles to penetrate into their souls, and they will finally come around, one by one, to the truth, that abortion in America must stop, and it must stop by a collective act of the people, with an Amendment to the Constitution, that declares that the child in the womb has a right to life.

      Let us all put our shoulder then, to this one great wheel, which is the restoration of school prayer, and through this, let us marvel how the purity of God, and his innocence and goodness, can again permeate the soul of America, giving us the divine spine necessary to stand and win in every noble battle. Let us again allow God our Father to extend to us once more this special gift of love, that will allow him to crown our efforts with genuine victory. He would love to do this, if only we would simply allow our pride to fall away, and ask, yes, as a nation. In this regard, I promise you that school prayer is the key to the salvation of our nation. It is only a matter of time before we return to our sanity in this regard. The only question is, what level of outer destruction will be neccessary to return us to that sanity? Let us not hesitate. Let us return now.

Always Victory!
Sincerely,
Your Little Brother,

      The Mouth of John Kerry

     Ponder our America, the champion of Liberty. America, the home of the brave, sets 50 million people free from the terror and the fear and the desperation, and the hopelessness related to two despotic regimes. The smile of God our Father shines upon America. It Shines. It Shines. It Shines. (for a time and a half a time).

     And look at the world, how they tear at us, rip at us, claw at us, how they hate us. How their hearts are overwhelmed by great gushes of petty jealousy.

     And this opposition to our noble deed, in the sight of God, in the sight of his holy angels is shameful. Yes, here is the behavior of countless millions, which is totally shameful in the sight of Heaven.

     And so, it is no wonder that John Kerry looks at this behavior, so shameful in the sight of God, as something valuable, something that expresses some kind of wisdom, some kind of virtue that we should heed. And he promises America, that as president, he will never be so stupid as to bring such wrath upon America. Right, he will never be so stupid as to invoke the petty jealously of mindless millions, by having the courage to do what is right, right in front of their face, and against their virulent objections. Yes, he will never express the foolishness, that is now the legacy of George W. Bush, by setting 50 million people free.

     Ponder the hopes in the hearts of millions who heretofore had no hope. Ponder this one heart at a time, street by street, house by house, throughout all of Afghanistan and all of Iraq. Yes, ponder this one heart at a time. Enter each home, and ponder these hearts, of the father, of the mother, and of the little children too. Ponder the joyful light of hope that now, because of America's sacrifice, illuminates a future of freedom, freedom from fear, freedom from torture, freedom to be, finally, what God intends each child to be, productive, learning, and usefully contributing to a civilized social order that only increases in light and truth and wisdom.

     The Forces of Death and Hell, yes, those who operate out of the very pit, detest this hope, they spit upon it, they mock it, they trample upon it, yes, through the soul, through the heart, through the mind, and finally through the mouth of John Kerry.

Always Victory!
Sincerely,
Your Little Brother,

      John Kerry Skedaddled

     John Kerry was perfectly fit to continue to serve out his full 12 month tour in Vietnam. But he skedaddled at the first opportunity after serving only 4 months. When you are fit to fight, but you run off the battlefield, my friends, that is not what we call bravery. It is called cowardice. It makes a true soldier sick to his stomach. Such examples demoralize whole units. Demoralized units don't fight well. And more people get killed. This is the legacy of John Kerry.

Always Victory!
Sincerely,
Your Little Brother,

      John Kerry's Shame

     Senator John Kerry wants us to believe that his service in Vietnam was honorable. This is a tremendous distortion that hides a much deeper, darker, and blacker, reality. The Vietnamese Communists broke his will to fight. They broke his will to win. They turned him into a coward. And even worse, they turned him into an ally who returned to America to demoralize the people, to get our own countrymen to lose all hope of victory, tempting Americans to betray our South Vietnamese friends like he betrayed his own soldier buddies, leaving them to fight the battle after only four months of service.

     Wildly successful was he, in tempting Americans to back away from the fight like he did, tempting Americans to retreat from the battlefield like he did, and ultimately to leave the battlefield completely to the Communists, who overran the South completely in 1975. The U.S. did not lift a finger to stop the final totalitarian conquest of South Vietnam, thanks to the efforts of John Kerry, and the group he organized and led.

     John Kerry is not a hero in America. John Kerry is a hero in Hanoi. Who do 50 million South Vietnamese have to thank for their current state of slavery? Senator John Kerry, the leader of Vietnam Veterans Against the War. That's who. It ought to be shocking to the moral sensibilities of every American, that this man is trying to turn this into a badge of honor. This can only work, if people are brain dead. Perhaps that's why Kerry is such an ardent supporter of gay rights and medical marijuana, two of the most certain paths to a mind devoid of the capacity to remember and to think.

Always Victory!
Sincerely,
Your Little Brother,

      Make Him Give it Back

     You see, an honorable person, realizing that a Purple Heart Award was obtained under dishonorable circumstances, would give that award back. That would be the honorable thing to do. And in this way, some honor might be redeemed. I believe a mighty call should go out across America, to demand that John Kerry give that Purple Heart Award back.

Always Victory!
Sincerely,
Your Little Brother,

      Kerry's First Purple Heart

     Viewer discretion advised .... The images you are about to see may be disturbing to some viewers.

     I have a read a description of the first scratch that John Kerry received in the course of his Vietnam service, for which he sought out a Purple Heart Award. I am struck in this regard, that people have greater wounds than that when they pop their own pimples.

     I am also struck, that to seek out a purple heart award for such a tiny "wound" is about the most dishonorable thing a person could possibly do. Please consider why this is so.

     When soldiers get whole legs blown off, whole arms blown off, gaping holes in their chests from blasts of machine gun fire, they receive the same purple heart award. In other words, you don't get a certain number of purple hearts awards depending on the severity of the wound. In other words, if a person gets his leg blown off in battle, he does not get 1000 purple heart awards. If someone gets his arm blown off in battle, he does not get 100 purple heart awards. No matter how severe the wound, you only get one purple heart award. Just one. The purple heart award it supposed to go to those people who have made a substantial sacrifice. Any kind of a bullet wound is a substantial sacrifice, if it penetrates your body. Ask people who have been shot. It is a very traumatic experience. And so the purple heart honors the courage they show to stand and take those hits for the cause of freedom. And of course it honors the courage they show as they return to the battlefield after they heal.

     Now, as the veteran who must live his life in a wheel chair, not having any legs, sits there before us, and holds up his purple heart award, and standing next to him, is John Kerry, fit as a fiddle, holding up his purple heart award, do the awards mean the same thing to both men? To the veteran it means a lot, because it symbolizes the loss of both legs. But to Kerry it means nothing. It symbolizes nothing but the need to wear a band-aid for a day.

     I want to people to understand this. The flame of honor in the heart, would not allow an honorable man to accept a purple heart award for a scratch that required only a band-aid. He would look at his brothers, who have born the battle in a much more serious manner, and he would know, that to accept an award for a scratch, let alone seek out such an award for a scratch, would diminish the value of the award for those who have truly paid the price. An honorable man would say in his heart, no, let this award go to those who have suffered seriously. Knowing full well that I have not suffered in any serious manner whatsoever, I cannot in good conscience accept, let alone seek that award for this little scratch.

     This award was not pressed upon John Kerry. John Kerry sought out this award for himself. He wanted that award I suppose for its show value. And he was shameless enough to press for it, until he got it. The shameless quest for a purple heart award for a little scratch on his arm, proves that John Kerry is not an honorable man.

     And it also proves, that he has no shame, none whatsoever, in as much as he dangles those awards in front of our eyes, expecting us to say ooh, and awe. How can we say ooh and aawwe when common sense tells us, that in his case, this award means nothing? The idea that he thinks we are so stupid, as not to see this, tells us what he really thinks about his fellow man. In his heart, he looks at us like we all had pea brains. It is amazing to me that such a person could be nominated by any political party to run for President of the United States. What are these Democrats thinking?

Always Victory!
Sincerely,
Your Little Brother,
