The Subversion
of the Lighthouse
Literally
By Steven S. Showers, Editor
I would like to begin this important exposition with a short
quote from a dictation given by our Ascended Master Brother, who goes by the name of
Beloved Mighty Victory, given July 5, 1988, at FREEDOM 1988, at the Royal Teton Ranch,
published in Pearls of Wisdom, Vol. 31, No. 75, November 6, 1988, as follows. Take particular
note of his mention of the mouse.
"I AM the house of Victory. I AM the house of Victory. I AM that house, beloved, and in my
house there is not a mouse. There is neither a dullard. Neither is there one who does waste
time."
What is the Lighthouse, if it is not the House of God?
And what is the Lighthouse, if it is not a House of Victory? And why are there no mouses in
HIS houses? Because He keeps the traps set, and loaded with bait. And when the mouses come
to munch the cheese, whack! One more mouse taken out of circulation.
Now, it has been said, and you will probably
remember hearing this, that when the cat's away, the mice will play. And so, when the
Messenger moved out of the house, the mice came out to play. Whoa! Did they come out and
play! I see you are nodding your head. We forgot to set the traps! Way to harsh a fate for a
cute little mouse! And all the traps were left in the kitchen drawer. And look at them
multiply. And the whole house is overrun with them now!
(Did you see that episode of the Crocodile Hunter,
wherein Steve Irwin showed us those granaries somewhere out there, or down there, in
Australia overrun by millions and millions of mice? When the grain shoots were opened,
thousands of mice poured out. There was no grain! Only thousands of mice pouring out of the
grain shoots! And they were still hungry, and if you can believe it, they were ready for even
more sex.)
And what do the Lighthouse Keepers DO? They set
the traps! Up and down the stairs of the Lighthouse we set the traps. And when we hear the
snap of the trap, we go and look, and see whether the luck of this or that mouse has run out, and
if it has, we open the trap, grab the little critter by the tail, and we drop it into the trash can. No
solemn ceremonies for the mice. And no more chances for them to multiply.
And so, what we
are about here, is to show, dear reader, when we open a particular granary bin, that there is no
grain left therein. Here is proof positive, that the granary of our precious legacy is being
consumed behind the warm and cozy blanket of our starry eyed indifference. This is one case
in point, but it is not the only one. That's right. A granary has many bins, each one giving you
access to one of many grain storage silos of our precious legacy. We are going to open only
one here. And when you see that it is empty, at least of all the grain, you can predict exactly
what is going on in the other silos.
In the January 2004 issue of the Church's Heart to
Heart newsletter, we were introduced to two new charts of the Presence, tailored specifically
for those of the Hindu and Sikh faiths. Let me say, that there are two (2) major problems with
the content of both of these charts.
The First major problem with these charts, is
that they both introduce man-made structures, that are placed more prominently in view, and
are therefore more accessible, than the original foreground pine trees, and even the lighthouse
itself. This is very problematic for the following three reasons.
A) I will have more to say about the subject of
trees below, but notice that the pine tree has a prominent foreground role to play in the original
chart. A pine tree is first and foremost, a creation of God, to be sure, created through the hearts
and minds of the nature spirits who create only after the patterns of divine beauty. Our
connection to them is a very important part of the path. They teach us much about co-creation
with God. Those who created these new charts, set the trees back, way back, and placed man
made structures in the foreground. This expresses the psychology of the dweller, that places its
own creation, above the creation of God, which is primarily the Christ. The Christ
(symbolized by the Christmas Tree) is the supposed to be the most prominent and authoritative
factor in our lives. But the Dweller says no. It says, let me build more stately sand castles to
dwell within and to feel proud about. Make no mistake about it. The vibration associated with
putting the human creation above the divine, carries the seed of spiritual defeat, and that
vibration is sent out with these new charts.
B) The first time that man-made structures
(apart from the lighthouse itself) found their way into a chart of the presence, was in the TOP
organization, run by those false messengers, and tools of the false hierarchy, Monroe and
Carolyn Shearer. Following their example, is like following a herd of blind cattle over the side
of a cliff. Very foolish.
C) There is absolutely no reason for
man-made structures to show up in the chart of the presence, except for the lighthouse itself.
The Lighthouse is an exception, because the Lighthouse has a very well defined purpose.
Without the lighthouse, ships cannot make it to safe harbor. The Brotherhood uses this
universal symbol to communicate to the world that when the little boat sets out to cross the
wide open ocean of samsara, that the danger of shipwreck looms ever present, and that this
organization has been established to help them avoid those dangers. It should be noted that
these new structures displace the prominence of the lighthouse itself, making that important
symbol of secondary importance. And of course, we will talk about that more shortly. And so,
in regards to these other structures which have been placed in these new charts, what purpose
do they serve? What exactly are these structures? This is left up to the imagination to decide.
And this fact alone communicates to the seeker, that there is something in the material
creations of man, and even within his own imagination, that are on the same level of
importance, as the concept, and the reality, of the I Am Presence, and the soul's relationship to
that Presence. This of course, is a false teaching. There is nothing more important than the
actual Presence of God, and persuading the soul of this great truth, is what the path is all about.
It is tremendously difficult, as it is, to fend off the competing priorities within the swamp of
the fallen soul. To magnify the importance of the false priorities of the synthetic self, by
planting these upside down principles within the subconscious, can only work to undermine
the individual's desire and determination to divide the real from the unreal within his or her
own temple. Why set aside the human creation so quickly, when it has some equivalence with
the great teaching of the I Am Presence? This is not a useful counter-point to tack onto the
mind of any genuine seeker.
This general ambiance of rebellion established by the
displacement of the symbol of the Christ, which is the Christmas Tree, or the pine tree, more
simply put, by man made structures, sets the stage for the exposure of the Second
major problem in both of these charts, and this is an expression of an even greater rebellion, as
the core meaning of the Lighthouse itself is abandoned.
What is the core meaning of the Lighthouse? What is
its sole purpose? The sole purpose of the Lighthouse is to serve as a navigational aid.
This is its reason for being, no more, no less. The idea here, is to warn ships away from the
shoreline rocks that would tear the hull of any ship to shreds. The idea here, is to mark the
most dangerous features of the sea route, so that ships will be able to pass them by safely, and
arrive in port safely.
Now, the founder of our movement, the Messenger
Mark Prophet, in consultation with the Brotherhood, adopted the Lighthouse as the primary
symbol of our organization. In "Memories of Mark", author Annice Booth tells us that after
Mark Prophet had arrived in Washington D.C., and put the question to the Master El Morya, as
to what the name of the new organization ought to be, a strong wind came through the window
and knocked a volume of Longfellow's poems off the table, and when the pages came to rest,
Longfellow's poem, "The Lighthouse", was staring Mark in the face. And it was then, that
Mark Prophet understood that the name of the new organization was to be, "The Summit
Lighthouse." Of course, let us consider how strong a wind needs to be to knock a book off the
table. That had to be a very strong wind.
Longfellow penned this poem at Portland Head
Lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, that's right, Cape Elizabeth. The name "Elizabeth"
has an important meaning to us, because that is the first name of Mark Prophet's twin flame
and co-messenger, Elizabeth Clare Prophet.
The construction of the Portland Head Lighthouse, at Cape
Elizabeth, Maine, began in 1787, the very year the U.S. Constitution was drafted. So it is
stands at the very nexus of the founding of the new nation sponsored by the Master St. Germain
which was intended to be a beacon of liberty unto the entire world. But construction was
halted due to a lack of funds, a situation that was not reversed until the new Constitution was
ratified, and the new U.S. Government was set up in 1789, and the first President George
Washington inaugurated. Shortly thereafter, the U.S. Congress appropriated the money to
complete the lighthouse, an appropriation bill signed by President George Washington himself,
one illustrious incarnation of the soul who later became the Messenger Guy Ballard, and upon
his ascension, the Ascended Master Godfre that we know and revere today. The Portland
Head Lighthouse became operational, during George Washington's first term as America's first
President, in 1791, and he had the honor of appointing the first Lighthouse Keeper there.

Now, the content of this important poem ought to
be seriously contemplated. It is our legacy, giving full expression to the universal concept, that
the purpose of the Lighthouse, is to warn ships away from hazardous areas. Please take the
time to read this poem now aloud, and become familiar with its cadences, and rhythm, and
content. Yes, give a little performance right now, for the angels and elementals that stand
beside you. They love this poem and they will listen in rapt attention, and with great respect
for the words you speak.
The Lighthouse
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The rocky ledge runs far into the sea,
and on its outer point, some miles away,
the lighthouse lifts its massive masonry,
A pillar of fire by night, of cloud by day.
Even at this distance I can see the tides,
Upheaving, break unheard along its base,
A speechless wrath, that rises and subsides
in the white tip and tremor of the face.
And as the evening darkens, lo! how bright,
through the deep purple of the twilight air,
Beams forth the sudden radiance of its light,
with strange, unearhly splendor in the glare!
No one alone: from each projecting cape
And perilous reef along the ocean's verge,
Starts into life a dim, gigantic shape,
Holding its lantern o'er the restless surge.
Like the great giant Christopher it stands
Upon the brink of the tempestuous wave,
Wading far out among the rocks and sands,
The night o'er taken mariner to save.
And the great ships sail outward and return
Bending and bowing o'er the billowy swells,
And ever joyful, as they see it burn
They wave their silent welcome and farewells.
They come forth from the darkness, and their sails
Gleam for a moment only in the blaze,
And eager faces, as the light unveils
Gaze at the tower, and vanish while they gaze.
The mariner remembers when a child,
on his first voyage, he saw it fade and sink
And when returning from adventures wild,
He saw it rise again o'er ocean's brink.
Steadfast, serene, immovable, the same,
Year after year, through all the silent night
Burns on forevermore that quenchless flame,
Shines on that inextinguishable light!
It sees the ocean to its bosum clasp
The rocks and sea-sand with the kiss of peace:
It sees the wild winds lift it in their grasp,
And hold it up, and shake it like a fleece.
The startled waves leap over it; the storm
Smites it with all the scourges of the rain,
And steadily against its solid form
press the great shoulders of the hurricane.
The sea-bird wheeling round it, with the din
of wings and winds and solitary cries,
Blinded and maddened by the light within,
Dashes himself against the glare, and dies.
A new Prometheus, chained upon the rock,
Still grasping in his hand the fire of love,
it does not hear the cry, nor heed the shock,
but hails the mariner with words of love.
"Sail on!" it says: "sail on, ye stately ships!
And with your floating bridge the ocean span;
Be mine to guard this light from all eclipse.
Be yours to bring man neared unto man.

This poem has great importance, because the author,
Longfellow, was a previous embodiment of Mark Prophet. And so, who will argue with me,
when I say, that for ascended master students, if you are to sufficiently anchor the divine legacy
of our movement, that there is a very high priority in committing this poem to memory.
Therefore, let there be a competition during every quarterly conference, wherein students will
stand and recite this blessed poem, and a prize be given for the best performance.
One of the earliest uses of the Lighthouse as a symbol
of this organization adorned the Pearls of Wisdom. And it was used thereon, in faithful
harmony with its universal definition, as a navigational aid for shipping, positioned on
the shoreline where it could fulfill its reason for being.
Let's take a closer look at the center of this graphic, the
part that depicts only the lighthouse, as follows:
Now, in this artistic rendering, we have eroded beach
front in the foreground. The lighthouse itself is positioned on what appears to be a coastline
outcropping. There are coastal rocks depicted both to the left, and to the right of this
outcropping. And to the right especially, you can see the ocean horizon. The detail does not
come through as well as I would like using this scanned jpeg image, but you can pull out an
actual published Pearl of Wisdom, and you can see the details more clearly. There is no doubt
about it. The artist made a conscious effort to show that this lighthouse is on the shoreline.
And of course, what else are lighthouses for? They only have ONE purpose, and that is as a
navigational aid, to keep ships from sailing onto the rocks.
Look closely, and notice the path that leads to the front
door. Please keep this in mind, as well as the trees to the left of the lighthouse. And of course
the inland mountains. All of these points will be important later in the discussion.
Now, in the original chart of the
presence, the effort made to present the Lighthouse in a manner perfectly congruent with its
universal definition, is clear and obvious. The image to the right is a reduction, taken from the
1973 printing of "Climb the Highest Mountain." The copyright notice at the lower right
indicates the year 1964. This has to be one of the earliest depictions of the Lighthouse,
rendered, again, in a manner that is faithful to the definition of the Lighthouse. The portion
that depicts the lighthouse itself is reproduced below, in a larger format wherein the reader can
see exactly where the Lighthouse is located. On the coastline.
Detail from Chart of the Presence, 1964
When the Chart of the Presence was retooled, sometime in
the mid 1970's, this faithful depiction of the Lighthouse was carried forward. Here is a blowup
of that section of a regular chart of the presence that hung over the Altar of the Holy Grail at
Camelot, and now in King Arthur's Court, and which is reproduced in every Chart of the
Presence that hangs over the altar of every Teaching Center, Study Group, and home altar.
Look at how prominent those rocks are. They are big
rocks, that will do great damage to the hull of any ship that might be so foolish as to embrace
them. And the lighthouse towers above them, and sends forth a very bright light, and that light
carries an important message. It is this. Stay away from these rocks by many hundreds if not
thousands of feet. Steer clear. Don't come so close as to be caught in the tides that no power of
sail can hope to deliver you.
Of course, there is no mistaking the purpose of this
lighthouse. It is right on the shoreline, and it marks an outcropping of rocks that have sunk
ships in the past. Make no mistake about it. It is not as if people build lighthouses at every
point along a particular shoreline. They normally build lighthouses where ships have a
problem navigating safely. Lighthouses are built where ships have actually crashed on the
rocks before. Because the losses are so painful to bear, there is an outcry for the building of a
navigational aid, to make sure no additional ships and lives are lost.
The building of the famous Bell Rock Lighthouse, 1807-1810, off
the coast of Scotland, by a relative of the famous author, Robert Louis Stevenson, I believe it
was his uncle Robert Stevenson, is another case in point. And yes, it still stands, keeping the
vigil at its appointed location some 200 years later. Now, here was a sandstone reef, that was
12 miles away from the nearest coastline. Many sailors, surely wanted to believe, that if they
were that far away from the coastline, they would be safe. But not so. At low tide, Bell Rock
was visible, and in the day time at least, it could be avoided. But at high tide, it was invisible,
covered by 16 feet of water, so even in the day time, a ship could be wrecked upon it. At night,
there was no margin of safety. Dozens of ships and many many lives were lost because of that
rock. And the fact that it lay submerged for half of the day, made it particularly difficult to
build a lighthouse upon it as well. But Robert Stevenson was on a mission, and his zeal, and his
engineering skills, persuaded the Lighthouse Commission to give it a try, and because they
succeeded in building this steady and immovable structure, its beacon glowing brightly by
night, an incalculable number of lives have been spared over the last two centuries. This is
a superb example illustrating this important principle, that Lighthouses are located precisely
where there is danger, where mariners need to have a relevant warning. And this principle is
beautifully illustrated in this painting by JMW Turner.

And so, what has the current leadership done with the
lighthouse in these two new charts? Well, they have totally, and completely subverted the
purpose of the lighthouse. How did they do that? They put the lighthouse on the top of a
mountain! Here is a blowup of the lighthouse sections of each of these two new charts.
Now, every reader needs to start paying very close
attention right now. You want to see the dweller-on-the-threshold WITHIN YOU close up, and
exposed? Then look and learn. Get out your specimen jars, and stand at the ready. Every
feeling, every thought that would tend to justify or rationalize the placement of these
lighthouses at the mountain top, that is the dweller-on-the-threshold.

There are three major problems with placing the
lighthouse on top of a mountain.
First, and obviously, when a lighthouse is positioned
on the top of a mountain, no longer can it be used to warn people away from shoreline hazards.
In this regard, it becomes useless. Behold the useless lighthouse.
What is that modality of mind that can lapse into that
numbness of ignorance, that could allow the lighthouse to become useless? Well, that is the
dweller-on-the-threshold, which is in a state of rebellion against Reality itself. It is in a state of
denial when it comes to the entire subject area of shoreline hazards. It does not recognize
shoreline hazards. It desires only to do what it wants to do, and rejects the idea that there is any
danger associated with any of its behavioral choices. And so, this not-self, will minimize, well,
it will actually deny, repudiate, abandon, and rebel against that aspect of the Teaching that sets
forth the list of shoreline dangers the soul is admonished to be wary off. Why? Because it is
wedded, through pride, to dashing itself, lifetime after lifetime upon those very rocks. That's
right. And when the Masters say, you must stop doing that, if you want to live, you must stop
doing that, the not-self raises the middle finger in a clear expression of defiance, and leaps into
the abyss yet again.
Within the domain of this anti-mind, the role of the
lighthouse is not even comprehended. It is not comprehended, because the barriers of rebellion
push away the very light of understanding. And so, inside of that dark shell of emptiness, there
is a different kind of logic, upside down, operating there, the logic of pride, that will try to use
every opportunity to exalt its own superiority (over the Christ, over principle, over even the
most humble filaments of understanding). You see, this mind is not using the Teaching for
the purposes for which it was intended. It is not applying the Teaching to save either itself, or
to save anyone else, unto the victory of eternal life. It is using the Teaching only as a prop to
make itself look wise, to make itself appear to be endowed with great spiritual authority. This
explains how and why the lighthouse was moved from its traditional shoreline location, to a
position on the top of a mountain. Yes, the anti-mind has another purpose for the lighthouse. It
has its own definition now, and that is what we see in these charts. It has been twisted, by the
upside down logic of the dweller of pride, into a symbol of superiority.
The fact that the current leadership has allowed this
perversion to be expressed in graphic form, speaks to the modality of consciousness they
themselves indulge, and this is collectively. The dweller, who refuses to recognize the dangers
the masters have warned us to avoid, this is what is in control of the minds of the current
leadership. This is what allowed them, one and all, to abandon the definition, purpose, and
meaning of the lighthouse. Anyone could have spoken up to turn this perversion back. But no
one has. Even if there were perhaps a few people on staff that were not comfortable with the
mountain top placement of the lighthouse, they nevertheless refrained from speaking up, and
so, we must ask why? Why did they remain silent? Obviously they were convinced, at some
level, that there was a higher priority in remaining silent, than in speaking the truth.
That modality of consciousness that convinced them to
remain silent, which convinced those who knew better, that they need not do better, it is the
same dweller that perpetrated the original corruption. It is that anti-mind that resides within
that hollow and empty shell of pride, its shadowy and mushy interior characterized by that
same ignominious ignorance of the law. Yes, the same darkness of ignorance which subjects
the soul to the same delusions, to the same erroneous conclusions, persuading it to believe that
it can serve the agenda of the dweller, which is always the abandonment of the law, the
abandonment of rules, the abandonment of definitions, the abandonment of purpose, the
abandonment of responsibilities, and suffer no negative or destructive consequences
whatsoever.
Here are the two faces of ignorance, one aggressive,
one passive. On the one hand you have the dweller that inspired this move, and justified it,
thereby proudly abandoning definition, meaning, and purpose. On the other hand, you have
those who look on, who have the responsibility to speak up and to reverse such corruptions, but
they remain silent, abandoning their responsibility to be the guardian of the truth. These are
the two sides of the same dweller. The front side, and the back side. They always work hand in
hand, one with the other, to bring forth this ignominious fruit of corruption, decay, and collapse
within all human organizations.
And of course, we have several examples of the
leadership expressing this dweller consciousness right to our very faces.
For example, this is precisely what we have in Church
Manager Rev. Linda Worobec's performance of a Beatle's tune on the Altar of the Holy Grail in
King Arthur's Court on July 4, 2003. And what applies to her specifically in relationship to this
event, applies to the leadership generally, because the leadership, to a person was complicit and
approving of the corruption.
Prior to that performance, the Lighthouse stood solidly
on a particular section of the coastline, radiating a bright beam of Light, warning mariners
away from the jagged and unforgiving coastline rocks associated with sympathy for the fallen
angel idols of Rock Music, and with Rock Music itself.
On the evening of July 4, 2003, Church Manager Rev.
Linda Worobec extinguished that beacon, she put it out, made it invisible, made it disappear
from the coastline.
In her performance of a Beatles song on the Altar of
the Holy Grail that evening, Linda Worobec moved the Lighthouse away from that particular
section of coastline, whereby, the light no longer provides any warning from its designed
location. And where did she move it? She moved it to the top of the mountain, and some
people are thinking ivory towers I am sure, and not without reason. The mountain she moved it
to, is a mountain of falsehood, a mountain of false superiority, yes, a mountain of
self-justification. This mountain of self-justification postures itself before us, as if it were the
mountain of truth, but it is built up, layer upon layer, by rationalizations only, each one
designed to raise the appearance of her behavior, and the behavior of any aspect of the dweller,
out of the pit of rebellion, and into the domain of acceptability, and higher, to a false position
of superiority over and above the common sense of the people.
And in the aftermath of this event, many spoke up and
demanded that the lighthouse be returned to its original location. These good souls quoted the
Teaching, extensively, which sets forth the blueprint for both the lighthouse location, and that
of the radiant beam itself which ought to issue forth from the top of it. But to no avail. The
entire collective leadership refused to allow the Lighthouse to be repositioned back to its
proper location. Not one of them would say that the performance of a Beatles song on the Altar
of the Holy Grail was wrong. Not one. If just one had spoken up, and spoken the truth, the
Lighthouse could have been repositioned. But they all maintained either the posture of praise
for the corruption, or remained silent in the face of it. And so, you see, once the dweller-on-
the-threshold moves the lighthouse to the position where its purposes are served, where the
Christ is debased, where the truth is debased, and the dweller itself is raised above both, it will
not suffer to bend or recant or agree to move the lighthouse back.
The reason the lighthouse will not be put back, and I
am speaking both allegorically and literally, is that all of those who were complicit in putting it
there, whether they manifest the aggressive mode of the dweller, or the passive mode, are all
caught in the same web of anti-logic which is associated with this dweller consciousness. This
anti-logic is characterized by a common misconception of priorities. It is a self-centered, pride
based model of priorities, that values the survival of the not-self, rather than a Christ based
model, that values the survival of the soul over the not-self. If you place the idea in the mind
of any of these individuals that this lighthouse needs to be moved back, the presence of this
idea of pure light causes a chemicalization within this web of anti-logic. And the soul reads the
rings of chemicalization around this seed idea of truth, and what they read are reasons not to act
upon that truth. This web of anti-logic will affirm all ideas that go towards amplifying the
posture of personal superiority. After all, this is a web of pride. And those ideas will be acted
on. But when it comes to ideas that serve truth only, that serve the Christ only, these ideas
cause that chemicalization, wherein rings of reasons to not act form around it. They are
literally
trapped into outpicturing only that which will in the end cause the destruction of their own
souls. And they are blocked, by this web of anti-logic, from doing that which would allow their
souls to survive in the Light.
Now, in the moving of the lighthouse to the top of the
mountain, we have two fundamental corruptions, not just one. We have the corruption of the
definition of the lighthouse on the one hand, and on the other, we have the corruption of the
symbol of the mountain itself.
This corruption of the mountain has two fundamental
dimensions.
The first is the most obvious, as I have described it.
The mountain that is supposed to symbolize truth, has become a mountain of anti-truth, a
mountain of self-justification, justification of the rebellion of the not-self, composed of layers
of rationalization, false logic, supporting, albeit it on thin air, a particular act which is
completely out of alignment with the divine law. The dweller will always turn the shining
mountain into a paltry prop, a mere pedestal for the rebellious repositioning of the lighthouse.
Remember, that even as we have that exact symbol before us, executed in the region of the
graphic arts in the charts above, we are speaking of the geometry of the dweller's mentality, as
it exists not simply in the psychology of the current church leadership, but also within the
psychology of every fallen soul who has yet refused the opportunity for freedom that the Path
of Initiation offers. This first aspect of the mountain's corruption is an expression of the
callous opportunism of the dweller-on-the-threshold. It is unthinking, mechanistic, and total
self-serving in the most surface kind of way. It is that nearly instinctual king-of-the-
mountain mentality. It is pure posturing, based on the deeply felt need to achieve the most
immediate appearance of superiority, while remaining oblivious to all of the internal
contradictions it retains, which, taken together, exposes the utter emptiness of its assertions.
That is, if the internal contradictions could be seen all at once, its assertions of superiority
would be exposed as the most grotesque deceptions. That which is in rebellion against the law,
cannot be superior to anything. It is life in a state of disintegration, falling into the abyss of
death before our very eyes.
But this callous opportunism, this instinctual posturing
for the appearance of superiority, extends from a much deeper corruption of divine principle.
Much deeper. It points to the core of the dweller that has totally rejected the essence of what
the mountain is supposed to symbolize, of what the mountain is supposed to Be. Here we are
talking about a core rejection of the essence of truth itself.
The mountain is supposed to symbolize the very
highest truth. The mountain is supposed to symbolize this truth, that the soul, beginning in the
deep and shadowy valley's below, can climb again to the very summit of life, to the very
summit of being. And therefore, the mountain is the quintessential symbol for the Path of
Initiation. When the Masters placed a mountain on the first Chart of the Presence, that was the
meaning they intended to convey. When the Ascended Masters put the title, "Climb the
Highest Mountain" on book one of their everlasting gospel, written down by their Messengers,
Mark and Elizabeth Prophet, that was the meaning they intended to convey.
The Path of Initiation encompasses the entire climb,
from start to finish, upwards towards the summit of being, through the process of surrendering
the not-self into the radiance of the Light of Christ. The not-self simply put, represents
patterns of allegiance to falsehood. The Christ, simply put, represents patterns of allegiance to
truth.
And the greatest truth is this. The soul who keeps its
attention locked upon God will live, and live forever. The soul who allows its attention to be
drawn away from God, will die. The greatest falsehood then correspondingly, which the fallen
angels would have the children of God adopt, is that the soul, who takes its attention away
from God, will not surely die. That there exists the possibility of life, apart from God. This lie
was sold to a vast number of souls in the great rebellion which precipitated the great fall. And
in the aftermath of the fall, the hosts of heaven launched the largest redemptive effort the
cosmos has ever known. The center of the redemptive effort is the Path of the Initiation, the
mountain the soul can climb, to regain its heavenly estate.
The mountain, and the Path of Initiation that it
symbolizes, is also the symbol of divine forgiveness, and the symbol of the very hand of God,
extended to the soul as a real potential for redemption, embodying this immutable promise,
that there is way home for the fallen soul, if it will only surrender its allegiance to falsehood,
and allow an allegiance to truth to be reborn within it.
And so, we climb the highest mountain by
surrendering our allegiances to falsehood, and by taking on, a new found allegiance to the
truth.
For example, through the study of the Teaching, we
come to understand that we must surrender that within us which does not respect God, and to
work with the Masters to bring about the reignition of that flaming awareness that is
dynamically alive with respect for God; to surrender that which does not hold God in the
highest esteem, for the consciousness that extends to God the highest esteem; to surrender that
which does not honor God, for the consciousness that always honors God; to surrender that
which does not appreciate God, for the consciousness that always appreciates God; to surrender
that which is not grateful to God, for the consciousness that is always grateful to God; to
surrender that which does not feel affection for God, to surrender that which does not admire
God, for the consciousness that allows the soul to feel that affection and that admiration
towards God; to surrender that which does not adore God, for the consciousness that adores
God always; to surrender that which does not cherish God, for the consciousness that cherishes
God always; to surrender that which does not love God, for the consciousness that loves God
always.
These are just the first steps up the mountain. It is a
very high mountain, and the climb is quite steep. To stand at the top of the mountain, is to
stand merged with the Reality of God. It is to stand at that place where the soul's awareness
penetrates into the infinity of God's creation, and touches the beauty and majesty of every
square inch of that creation.
Of course it is true, at least in most cases, that the soul
does not turn its face to God all in one great 180 degree swivel. This is done incrementally, as
the soul chooses to come into alignment with basic principles first. Though, it is also true, that
the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. That was one of Mark Prophet's
favorite sayings I believe.
The climb to the mountain top is a metaphor for the
acceleration of consciousness into these domains of greater and greater cognition of the Reality
of God. But there are always two halves to the whole of divine cognition. On the one hand you
have the reality of God that registers on the soul. This is a beauty that is infinite in all
conceivable dimensions. The registration of that beauty occurs within a chalice of
awareness. And the shape of that chalice is respect. The shape of that chalice is esteem. The
shape of that chalice is honor. And so forth. As these chalice geometries become more deeply
and precisely defined, the soul can retain the awareness of God's reality over longer and longer
stretches of time. Therefore, the mountain top is a metaphor for a state of Being, wherein the
soul has learned how to take on and hold all of the proper chalice geometries, within which,
within each chalice, the reality of God is the only thing that resonates, achieving thereby a
clarity of perception which is absolute, wherein the only thing that the soul perceives, is the
beauty of God everywhere. Not just the beauty of the creation in terms of its manifest
qualities, but the beauty of the law that undergirds it, and the beauty of the purpose for which it
came into being.
I would just say this. Anyone who understands the
path in this manner, would never be so presumptuous to position themselves at the top of the
mountain, in as much as it is understood that the top of the mountain is reserved to those who
have achieved the total fusion with the Christ Identity that comes to us after the Ritual of the
Ascension.
Now, there are degrees of fusion the soul can and must
achieve prior to the Ritual of the Ascension. I have just named a few. Beginning with respect.
Continuing with esteem. Advancing further with honor. And so forth. Each step up the
mountain represents such a degree of fusion. But while yet in that state of
incompleteness, the soul experiences each point of fusion as a point of communion with a
certain subset of the whole. Not the whole, but a piece of the whole. And I would point out
that this subset consciousness will remain with the soul, up to the very hour of the Ascension.
Now, the soul may very well have many subsets of the whole within its possession before that
hour, and should. But no matter how many subsets of the whole you have in your possession,
you do not have the whole. This is a very clear distinction. Just as the climber can sometimes
see the summit above him, as he inches up the shear granite walls, he remains clearly cognizant
of the fact that there is yet much ground to traverse between here, and there. And as the
summit comes into view more and more clearly, it becomes clear, that the summit represents
the state of total fusion with God-Reality that only the Ritual of the Ascension can deliver.
When the soul arrives at the Summit, never again will a veil cover its eyes.
And so, the summit of the mountain is a very sacred
place. It is place for those who have passed every test, and been victorious all the way home.
And the current leadership has used that sacred place
as a display pedestal for their rebellion, as a display pedestal for their willful abandonment of
the role and the mission of the lighthouse. And yes, as a prop to telegraph to the world the
superiority of the dweller-on-the-threshold consciousness that they indulge.
Therefore, this mountain top placement of the
lighthouse communicates a definite ignorance when it comes to understanding what the path is
all about. No surprise there. But it also communicates a certain bold presumptuousness on the
part of all who have agreed to this mountain top placement. But that is no surprise either,
because if the dweller is anything, it is presumptuous, or shall we say, readily willing to usurp
positions of authority, to which it has no lawful right to possess.
To have placed the symbol of our entire organization
at the top of the mountain, is to gather together the entire membership within their domain of
ignorance, misconception, irreverence and rebellion. The use of this symbol challenges every
one of us to either confront the corruption of the law that it represents, or to accept it. When
we accept it, we are drawn into it. Therefore, the power of this misplacement to corrupt the
minds of hundreds and thousands, and perhaps millions, is immense.
What is it, within us, that will use the Path itself, as a
prop, to make itself look superior in the eyes of other people? It is the dweller of pride plotted
on the 3 o'clock line. This mountain top placement of the lighthouse is a blatant symbol of
the spiritual pride that has taken complete control of the minds of the current leadership. It
speaks of a condition of total darkness posturing itself as total spiritual authority.
Perhaps there are many in the leadership who will say,
"Well, I had nothing to do with this." But this is the truth. Most looked at this, and said in
their hearts, "Well, I have no problem with that. I am ok with this mountain top lighthouse. It
adds nicely to my own sense of superiority. I am happy to be reminded that I am associated
with the highest teaching on the earth. It makes me feel good." For the dweller of pride, these
sentiments substitute for the truth. These sentiments sweep the truth off the table, and make it
of no consequences whatsoever. The truth in this respect is the enemy, which would rob the
soul of this category of ego stroking sympathies. It can only be the dweller of pride that would
vibrate with any degree of sympathy for this mountain top lighthouse. It is the hallmark of the
dweller of pride, that it can be comfortable with the abandonment of fundamental definitions,
especially in those cases wherein the greater purpose of self-exultation is being served. I have
already spoke to the subject of those who might have registered some degree of discomfort
with this but who chose to remain silent.
In this mountain top lighthouse we have expressed one
of the most common and fundamental characteristics of pride, and that is the sincere belief
that an appearance of superiority is far more important than adhering to rules, and laws, and
definitions. This is the principle which the lighthouse on the mountain communicates. It says,
I am superior, even as I abandon the rules. This expresses the core character of every fallen
angel. I am superior, even as I abandon the rules. And of course, the situation
regarding Rev. Linda Worobec expresses the very same principle. Prior to July 4, 2003, the
law was clearly understood. The Masters required their students to sever all sympathetic
connections with the authors and purveyors of Rock Music. But on July 4, 2003, Linda
Worobec willfully, and consciously, abandoned that law. She wrote down a new law. This is
her new law, her new standard: Sympathy for the Beatles is now ok. And absent the original
warning beacon, many ships have been wrecked upon the coastline rocks of sympathetic
attraction to the forces of darkness. And does she not yet stand above us saying clearly, that
"I am superior, even as I abandon the rules"?
Now, her departure from the law in this respect, is of
the same magnitude, as that associated with moving the lighthouse to the mountain top from its
original position on the coastline. Many objected to her departure from the law in this respect.
But in the aftermath, she refused to bend to the law, she refused to return the lighthouse to its
original position. She stubbornly retains her superior position, that Beatles on the Altar are
OK, and she also retains her superior position as Church Manager. Her behavior mirrors
exactly the symbolism presented to us in this lighthouse on the top of the mountain.
When you move a lighthouse to the top of a mountain,
it is not a lighthouse anymore. It is a false lighthouse.
And so, from this superior position, the relocated
lighthouse radiates a beacon, but the beacon is no longer communicating the original message,
but a new message.
The original message of the shoreline lighthouse
communicated truth. It told the soul, if it was ever to reach the summit of being, the not-self
must be surrendered.
The new message sent abroad by the mountain top
lighthouse, communicates falsehood. It tells the soul, that the not-self itself, arrayed in its
colorful robes of rebellion, can stand at the summit, in fact the very summit of power, of
prestige, and authority. And from that position of authority, the not-self can be in the
possession of, and in control of, the highest teaching the world has ever known. And in the
realm of appearances, these upside-down images have a certain power to persuade. But the
message is an illusion, because the message is predicated on rebellion. Look at what the
message is built on. It is built on the abandonment of the divine purpose of the lighthouse
itself. To raise the lighthouse up into that position of superiority, to give that appearance of
superiority, they had to abandon the mission of the lighthouse.
When the lighthouse is at the top of the mountain, the
lighthouse cannot fulfill its reason for being.
And therefore, from its new position, the beam that
radiates from the lighthouse, is not actually light, but it is a beam of darkness. It proclaims the
superiority of the rebellious ego, while many ships are wrecked on the coastlines below, for
want of the necessary warning beacons.
Art has always been used as a primary avenue for the
fallen angels in their quest to destroy the divine orientation of consciousness. Music is one
form of art. Our Church Manager Linda Worobec is certainly familiar with that. Painting
another. And you can be sure that as Church Manager, that she oversaw every step of these new
chart designs.
Both art and music, can be used to purvey words, and
the principles they embody, in distorted and corrupted forms. The form of a lighthouse
depicted in art, impresses the image of a lighthouse upon our minds, which in turn invokes the
word, and its associated definition from our memory. The definition at first, comes forth
whole. But when the Lighthouse depicted in art does not conform to the definition in memory,
the mind will store the new definition, this one representing a corruption of the law. The form
of a mountain depicted in art, impresses the image of a mountain upon our minds, which in
turn invokes the word, and its associated definition from our memory. The definition at first,
comes forth whole. But when the mountain depicted in art does not conform to the definition
in memory, the mind will store the new definition, this one representing a corruption of the
law.
The definition of a word, is like the bone structure of
the body. You cannot expect the body to stand, if you remove the bone structure. Definitions
in this respect, are organizational principles within the mind, from whence ordered thought and
actions proceed. Destroy or confuse definitions, and you limit the individual's ability to
produce orderly thoughts, thereby crippling the individual in terms of his or her capacity to act
in the world of form in an orderly, constructive, and purposeful manner.
In placing the lighthouse at the top of the mountain,
they have removed the bone structure from the meaning, definition, and purpose of both the
Mountain and the Lighthouse. And as noted above, this will corrupt the soul's relationship to
that aspect of the Teaching for which the mountain is a symbol, and for which the lighthouse is
a symbol.
In regards to the Lighthouse, to corrupt this symbol is
to compromise the soul's relationship to that aspect of the teaching which admonishes the
student to take shoreline hazards seriously, both in terms of their own personal voyages, but
also in fulfilling their responsibility to give necessary and appropriate warnings that will allow
others to cross the ocean safely. The will to fulfill this important aspect of the teaching is weak
in all souls who are just finding the path anyway. The corruption of this symbol will further
weaken resolve in this area.
In regards to the mountain, in as much as this is a
general symbol for the Path of Initiation itself, to corrupt this symbol, is to compromise the
soul's relationship to that aspect of the teaching which admonishes the soul to prepare to be
tested, to pass its tests, specifically in regards to the identification and surrender of the not-self.
To compromise the symbol of the mountain, is to compromise the soul's relationship to the
entire path, for there is no path without the surrender of the not-self. It is difficult as it is to
find the will and the determination to pass difficult tests. There are always great pressures to
hesitate and to put off the tough decisions. The corruption of this symbol has the effect of
further reducing the will of the individual to make the hard choices. Why make the hard
choices, when you have this powerful message that tells the soul, that your rebellion can have a
place at the very top of the mountain? Yes, let your own rebellion stand at the pinnacle of
authority within your own temple. I mean, it is so righteous after all. There is no need to
unseat it.
"By injecting distortions of the divine art into the consciousness
of the people, they were able to capture their minds and emotions and to divert their attention
from the Presence, causing their energies to flow into matrices of dense
desire."

In this excerpt from Climb the Highest Mountain,
the Messengers are describing how the fallen angels have destroyed past civilizations.
Now, as to the Second problem with the placement of
the lighthouse on top of a mountain, again, at the most basic level, everyone knows what
the purpose of a lighthouse is. And therefore, that meaning is communicated into the
consciousness of the person who looks at this. But, in this regard, in terms of the placement of
the lighthouse on the top of a mountain, this sends a very destructive subliminal message. And
it is this. Because a lighthouse is used to mark navigational hazards, the mountain therefore,
must be a navigational hazard. Therefore, steer clear of the mountain. In other words, steer
clear of the Path. Steer clear of actual communion with the masters and God. Steer clear of
any and all tests. Especially steer clear of any idea, or thought, about passing your tests. Of
course, this is the message the dweller sends to the soul. And this is the message sent to all
who take in the image of this mountain top lighthouse.
I am hoping that more and more people will begin to
understand why it is so important to hold our leaders accountable to the precepts of the Path of
Initiation. If you don't hold them accountable, they will become fused to their dwellers, and
then the message of the dweller will be transmitted to the membership in everything that they
do, yes even in the product of the graphics art department, expanding thereby the
preeminence of the dweller consciousness throughout the entire membership as hundreds and
thousands ingest these destructive subliminal messages, resulting in the incremental
destruction of Christ potential, and leading to the complete failure of the Ascended Master
mission.
As to the Third problem with the placement of the
lighthouse on top of a mountain, again, at the most basic level, everyone knows what
the purpose of a lighthouse is. Here, notice that the Lighthouse, positioned as it is, on the top
of a mountain, is also positioned above a harbor in both cases. Harbors are supposed to be
places of safety. This sends a similarly destructive subliminal message. The lighthouse marks
the harbor as a navigational hazard, therefore, it sends this message, steer clear of safe harbors.
What is an example of a safe harbor? One safe harbor is obedience to the law written into the
Teachings. So, steer clear of the teachings, just like the current leadership has done, when it
comes to their own personal actions. In terms of the plans and purposes of the false hierarchy,
this is exactly the kind of message they would approve of. But, as far the purposes of the
Masters are concerned, this is a very destructive message.
The Lighthouse is a symbol with a very well
established historical meaning. This much is crystal clear. It means only one thing. It is a
navigational aid. And that is exactly how Mark Prophet, the first Messenger, caused the
Lighthouse to be depicted in all publications. When people see it depicted in a manner that
abandons traditional meaning, this sets up the vibration of confusion within the psychology of
the soul. Confusion is a perversion of the mother light at the base of the spine chakra plotted
on the 6 o'clock line. Where there is confusion, the light cannot rise to illuminate the crown
chakra. Moreover, when the light cannot rise, the soul awareness cannot be lifted up to the
nexus of the heart, which is plotted, on the cosmic clock at the nexus of the 6/12 axis and 3/9
axis. This is the point of strength, cohesion, and peace, at the nexus of the four blue flame
cardinal lines. Where there is confusion therefore, the light of the heart cannot manifest itself.
The cohesion, stability, and peace that people are supposed to experience when they confront
the teachings will not be able to manifest. And therefore, because it is only the light of the
heart that can bear witness to the value of the Teaching, many true hearts will be driven away.
The destructive nature of this mountain top depiction of the lighthouse is very substantial
indeed. Clearly it draws into the organization those who are comfortable at the soul level with
the confusion that this image portrays. These are not lightbearers. This is how the fallen
angels at the top, draw their own kind into an Ascended Master organization, overpopulate it
with people who are literally brain dead, when it comes to the harmony of the Christ
Consciousness, and as true lightbearers object to their continuing corruptions, it is the true
lightbearers who are thrown out.
The history of our organization began with the
establishment of the Summit Lighthouse. After that was added the Keepers of the Flame
Fraternity. After that was added Church Universal and Triumphant. This is a very orderly
progression. The Summit Lighthouse, publishes the Teaching, which provides the appropriate
navigational aids so that seafarers can find the safe harbor, which is obedience to the law. But
once the safe harbor is found, that is not the end of the journey. That is only the beginning.
There is still the Path of Initiation to walk, and it begins on level ground, and the path leads the
soul overland to the base of the Mountain. That is the role of the Keepers of the Flame
Fraternity, and the Keepers of the Flame Lessons. The path has just as much to do with the
issue of Becoming the Real Self, as it does with the issue of avoiding the pitfalls of the not-self.
The juxtaposition of the two defines a path of testing that leads the soul to the base of the
mountain. And this path is characterized by tests passed, not failed, within the domain of
illumination. Once the student arrives at the base of the Mountain, the climbing begins, and
that is the purpose of Church Universal and Triumphant, providing the atmosphere of collective
divine worship, and service before the Altar of the Holy Grail, which is required to actually
climb the mountain.
And finally, we have the Inner Retreat, which is the
place of great encounters set aside for the mass ascensions that will follow once the Teachings
of the Ascended Masters becomes a household word in America, and throughout the nations of
the earth. Yes, millions flock to the Teachings because they feel the pure radiance of hearts
transfigured within the furnace of divine obedience.
Now, if one wants to serve in the Lighthouse, one
knows exactly where it is, and it is easily accessible. You take an overland route to where it
has been built upon the sea shore, and one can enter into service to other souls, who are yet out
at sea, by tending the lighthouse, not on a mountain top, but on the sea coast, at the edge of the
astral ocean, where so many ships are trying to make the crossing to the safe harbor.
The actual light that powers the lighthouse, well, of
course, that Light is derived from the Summit of Being upon which the Ascended Masters
stand. The Light of Ascended Master hearts, through the heart of the Messenger, has
crystallized into many diamonds, giving us the published teaching. When the student
assimilates the Teaching, building thereby a soul fabric composed of those very same
diamonds, but now returned into the domain of radiant light, he or she can
become a lense through which the Light of Ascended Master Hearts can shine into this
darkened world. Yes, the heart of the student, merged with the heart of the Master, combines to
generate the Light of the Summit Beacon, which, in terms of the organization, remains at the
seashore, to continue the all-important task of guiding lost souls safely into port. In this
regard, the soul becomes one of the genuine Lighthouse Keepers.
And what Lighthouse Keeper
would ever consent to removing the lighthouse from the shore, to the mountain top, where its
very purpose is totally defeated? No true lighthouse keeper would ever consent to that.
Obviously, those who have been involved in the
repositioning of the Summit Lighthouse, from the seashore to the mountain top, have no
internal
conception of what the Lighthouse is for. And these are the people who are leading this
organization today. These are the people
who conceived of this move, who approved this move, and who flaunt this move in front of our
faces, as if they have done something good and useful. This is the delusion of the carnal mind,
all decked out, with the fraudulent baubles of spiritual pride as noted. They look at their
positions. "Wow", they say in their hearts. They marvel at the grand titles which grace their
humble names. "Wow", they say in their hearts. They look at their shining golden hands which
rest deftly upon the many spoked helm of Maitreya's Clipper Ship. "Wow", they say in their
hearts. And they think moreover, that after breaking every rule in the book to get into the
positions they now hold, that only the most wise would ever be allowed by God to steer
Maitreya's Clipper Ship along its course. You see, the illusion of divine approbation is derived
from the trappings of the very offices they have usurped! As if the robes in the closet a king
makes. And the illusion of self-importance, the illusion of their role in the victory of the
organization, based on these same visual parameters, is equally empty of any substance.
This particular issue, lays bare before the eyes of the
entire membership, that state of consciousness that has grabbed hold of the minds of those who
lead this church today. It is blatant and unreserved spiritual pride. Pride describes the posture
of the dweller, that has raised itself up into a position of authority, above the Christ. It usurps a
higher position in the scheme of things, than that which God has assigned to it. This usurpation
is expressed, by the leadership of this church, in the act of raising the Lighthouse from its
appointed role as navigational aid upon the coast line, to a place of false prominence upon the
summit of the mountain.
Remember the saying of the Master. The greatest
among you, will be the servant of all. That is what is meant by the Summit
Lighthouse. The highest light, standing its vigil upon the loneliest shores. Therefore, in the
Summit Lighthouse, we have the principle expressed, that the highest is actually the lowliest,
and at the same time, the most steadfast too. The Lighthouse Beacon, which carries the
knowledge of the Teaching, allows you to make it safely to your home port, and then to travel
the path overland to the base of the mountain, from whence, the great expedition, the final
expedition to the Summit of Being is launched. Yes, Climb the Highest Mountain. Those who
have reached the Summit of Being, even if they have spent only a few brief moments there,
know that as their Light is added to the Summit Beacon, that the Lighthouse itself must remain
on the shoreline, yes down low, so that it can continue to serve those who are trying to cross the
raging astral seas.
And remember, the central purpose of the Lighthouse,
is to warn the ships away from the rocks that will tear their hulls to shreds. The parallel to the
spiritual path is exact. All of the additional teaching, the overland path, and the great
expedition to the summit of the mountain, is useless, if the ships don't make it past the
navigational hazards, into port.
And in this removal of the Lighthouse from the coast,
to the mountain top, we have expressed therein, the rebellion in the hearts of our leaders, who
have refused to serve, as God, and the Masters, require that service. Again, I point to the
performance of a Beatle's Tune, by our Church Manager, (Rev. Linda Worobec), upon the Altar
of the Holy Grail in King Arthur's Court on July 4, 2003. The great warning light the Masters
put forth to telegraph the fatal danger associated with any amount of sympathy with Rock
Music, was extinguished by this individual on that day. The duties of her office required her to
stand fast on that piece of coastline where the lighthouse was originally built, and to shine forth
the warning light at that location. But she refused. She picked up the lighthouse, to remain
associated with its stature and authority, and put it on top of a mountain of rebellion that she
had already built a mile high. And from way up high, she beamed forth a new and different
message. She said, a little sympathy, a little adoration in fact, of this wonderful little Beatle's
tune will be helpful to us. In this, she has guided many ships right onto the rocks. This was a
tremendous betrayal.
Remember where we began this exposition. When the
cat's away, the mice come out to play. And they have the run of the whole household, within
and without. These are the mice that get into the granary, and they eat all that is stored there.
And they multiply, and they multiply, and they multiply, and pretty soon, there is no grain left.
This deep reservoir of meaning associated with the Lighthouse, this is one aspect of the legacy
left to us by the Messengers, by the Masters. And you can see, that in the minds of the current
leadership of this church, that granary is now totally empty. They have no sense of value for
the original and traditional location of the Lighthouse. If they ever had that sense of value, it is
now totally gone. That granary has been emptied. And by placing this image before the
people, the mice are allowed to eat from the larger granary of spiritual value, right out of the
minds of the people. Until, a day will come, and you will ask this person, or that person, what
is the value of having the Lighthouse at the shoreline, and they will say, it is more important to
have it on top of the mountain. We want the people to know that we have the highest and most
superior teaching. This is what is important. And so, their response will tell the sad story, that
their granaries have been emptied as well. They have no will, no desire, no recognition of the
need to stand in defense of what is truly valuable.
It's time we set our traps. The population of mice that
have overrun the granaries of our church, must be turned back. And when we catch one, we
must reload the trap, reset it, for the next mouse to come along. Remember, a mouse is a
symbol for the principle of mindless consumption. They consume and consume and consume
without a thought for what tomorrow will bring, without a thought for what the grain was first
intended for. Whenever you see a person consuming the promises of the Masters, filling
themselves up with the comfort they derive from their association with the highest teaching on
the planet, consuming the light of the genuine students, but refuse to recognize the
responsibilities associated with the fulfillment of those promises, you have a mouse, a point of
mindless consumption which, in the presence of food, will continue to multiply.
Now, moving the lighthouse, from the shoreline, to the
summit of the mountain, is clearly an act of rebellion. And let us see how colorful and pretty
they can make an act of rebellion appear, and yes, how far and wide they can make it spread
and multiply, so that all the members of this organization will
swallow this seed of ultimate destruction without a single voice raised in opposition.
Here is the main header graphic in the heart to heart
newsletter. Notice, that they have now adopted this lighthouse on the mountain, as their
symbolic flagship. Look at how pretty it is, and yet, understand all the while, that it is a picture
of rebellion. The extent of the rebellion that this represents is made clear by the simple
comparison of this image with the original image of the lighthouse in the chart of
the presence (reproduced above) where it is positioned in the traditional shoreline role as a
navigational aid. Again, behold the useless Lighthouse. Behold the Lighthouse that refuses to
serve in the location originally assigned by God.
Clearly, this is very pretty. But, if you look closely, you
can see in this image, two expanding rings of chaos. In other words, when common sense is
debased, you have confusion. Where you have confusion, you have chaos in the realm of
thought and in the feeling world. To abandon the obvious purpose of the lighthouse as a
navigational aid, is the first ring of chaos. To this they have added an additional ring of
chaos, which can be seen in a close up look as follows:
Can you see the additional ring of chaos? Please look
closely. We can get a closer look, as follows:
It is probably simpler than you can even imagine. In other
words, isn't this a simple idea, that the Lighthouse is a navigational aid, and that it is only
useful, if you place it on the shoreline, where the beacon light can warn people away from the
coastline hazards? This is a real simple and obvious idea, yet they abandoned that. Here they
abandoned another simple point of common sense. I mean, who is going to notice that no one
will be able to get into that door? Ah, that's no big deal. You have a door sitting at the top of
an ice and snow covered rock face, that appears nearly vertical. There is no place to get a
foothold. You try to get to that door, and you will fall off the mountain. That is the message
that this sends.
Yes, you have a bright light in the doorway, and that is
appealing, but there is no way to get to it.
These people are really into sending very destructive
subliminal messages. It plants the idea in the mind, that the lighthouse is inaccessible at best,
dangerous to approach at worst. Who would approve of that message, other than members of
the false hierarchy? I am very serious here. This implants within the mind a barrier to the
assimilation of the Teaching. This barrier keeps all the important principles in the Teaching
from being assimilated, keeping all the higher realities at arms length within the region of
intellectual abstraction. There is no freedom associated with abstractions, I can assure you.
Where is there a person in the leadership who will take
a stand for what is in the best interests of the Ascended Masters, and the promulgation of their
Teaching? If they are there, they are silent, keeping their wisdom locked tight inside of their
hearts.
Remember, above, where we set forth the depiction of
the lighthouse on the Pearls of Wisdom? Remember, please, that I pointed out the fact that the
artist went to the trouble of making sure the reader got the impression that the lighthouse was
on
solid level ground, and that there was even a path that led up to the door. The message of
accessibility was clearly drawn into that image, and it was done so consciously. That message
is completely lacking here. But more importantly an opposite message of inaccessibility is
communicated here, with the surrounding ambience of danger, and even fear.
This is not complicated. Set yourself up a focus group
of 100,000 people. Ask all of them a simple question. Would you try to get through the door
of the lighthouse, as depicted? And to a man, to a woman, they would all say NO. Why?
There is no way in. There is the promise of nearly certain death if you try. Its right there, in
front of our faces. It requires no oblique interpretations.
This issue of accessability represents the additional
ring of chaos projected by this image. You have an appealing light in the doorway, and the soul
is attracted to Light, but there is no way to approach that Light without falling to your death.
This sets up a very fundamental vibration of confusion and chaos within the subconscious
mind.
Moreover, I pointed out to the reader, that to the left of
the lighthouse (in the original Pearl of Wisdom depiction), the artist had drawn in trees. Trees
are things that people love. Trees are very accessible parts of God's creation. Trees offer us
many things, like wood to build our houses, and wood to fuel our campfires, and if we don't
chop them down, they give us shade on a hot day, and fruit to satisfy our hunger, and perhaps
an even deeper psychological stability, in as much as we know that trees produce the oxygen we
need to breathe. By adding trees to the drawing, an image of comfort is placed in the mind of
the student. This helps the student approach the Lighthouse. But what have they done here?
They have placed cold snow all around the lighthouse. This is like the proverbial cold
shoulder. And they have placed the lighthouse up there, way up yonder, where we know the air
is very thin. How many people have died trying to climb to the Summit of Mt. Everest because
they did not bring along enough bottled oxygen? There is a long list.
Now, why is a lighthouse called a lighthouse? Who
lives in a house? People live in a house. It is called a lighthouse because one or more persons
live there, tending the beacon day by day. The depiction of trees in the rendering just referred
to, makes this association. Obviously, in the mountain top lighthouse, there is no one home.
There is no one home, because no one can get into the door. When there is no one home, it is a
very lonely place. And moreover, when there is no one home, there is no one to tend the
beacon. Very Freudian, I must admit.
Moreover, I pointed out to the reader, that in
rendering the lighthouse which adorns the Pearls of Wisdom, that the artist made an effort to
depict a PATH that led to the lighthouse door. On the Chart of the Presence, of course, this was
not possible to depict given that the lighthouse is located at some distance down the coast, but
nevertheless, given that the lighthouse is on land, and on level land, you can deduce the truth,
that there is certainly a path to that lighthouse. Here they have abandoned the PATH. That's
right. This is just an echo, crystalized before our eyes, of an inner truth, that is clear enough.
They have long ago abandoned the Path within, the Path of Initiation that would have produced
the fruit of INNER LIGHT, yes, even the light of common sense itself, which would have made
these images impossible to execute, let alone to display before the eyes of the membership.
Now, the leadership appears to be so enamored of
this image, which carries this seed of rebellion, that they are using it in more and more places.
They are so PROUD of this new look and this new location they have given the lighthouse, that
they printed it in full color on the entire front side of their latest stewardship mailing (February
2004). Like so:
This is basically the same image that was used in the Heart
to Heart newsletter, and all the same observations apply.
And of course, they are using it on the Summit
Lighthouse website too, as you can see here:
Now, to be fair, on the TSL.ORG home page, along the
left-hand column, you can discern, behind the left-hand column buttons, that while putting the
lighthouse on a mountain top,
that the artist, to his or her credit, still desired to retain some kind of a connection to the
coastline, because I believe you can see a depiction of an ocean there. Yes, way down there.
Obviously, this connection to the ocean is not the primary theme they desire to depict in this
graphic. This connection is clearly understated, which carries its own message of non-
importance. So, I suppose you could conclude from this, that this was the transitional graphic,
that is sort of like a snapshot, of the state of mind, of those who are in the process of being
drawn away from their moorings in the center of common sense. It is only used once, right
there.
The clearly stated message of inaccessibility, in terms
of the snow cover rock face high on a mountain top, is the most prominent message sent by this
artistic rendering.
On every other page throughout the TSL website, the
connection to the ocean is dropped entirely. What is all important, in all the other depictions,
is to show the lighthouse on the top of a mountain. In other words, to make the point that this
is the Summit Lighthouse, in a literal sense, in other words, this is the highest
lighthouse. This is the lighthouse that is above all others. It is the only lighthouse in the world,
that resides on the summit of a mountain. Therefore it is the highest, and I suppose that so
many people on staff, and throughout our membership, simply go along with this, because they
think perhaps, that they are communicating the idea that we have the highest teaching. But the
image contradicts this for the reasons we have already stated. Not the least of which, is that
the greatest among us, is the servant of all. As you can see, the mountain top lighthouse serves
no one. In that position, it is totally useless. To serve as intended, the lighthouse must be on
the coastline. It must remain located where the lookouts, on those ships which are yet out at
sea, can spot the light, in such a position, and in such a location, that they will be able to steer
safely around whatever hazard that would otherwise have claimed their ship in a disastrous
wreck.
This, by the way, is how the lighthouse is depicted on
every other page throughout the TSL website. It gives the clearest impression of being high up
on a mountain top, in the clouds even. Isn't it amazing how a beautiful drawing can
communicate the concept of total disconnection with reality? All the captains of all the vessels
on all the seas, are all scratching their heads. What are you doing up there? What good are you
doing up there, when we need you on the coast line, to mark the hazards, so we can make it into
port safely? But those who love this rendering, do not hear those practical words.
Subconsciously, what genuine lightbearer is going to
believe that we have the highest teaching, when we have a lighthouse that is not a lighthouse by
definition? On the face of it, we are setting before the people a fraudulent and empty symbol,
however pretty and
colorful it might be depicted. A lighthouse that is on the top of mountain, is not a lighthouse,
by definition. Up there, it is clearly useless as a navigational aid. Moreover, a lighthouse that
is positioned on the top of a mountain, is a lighthouse that will never be able to fulfill its
reason for being. A lighthouse that is positioned on the top of a mountain, is a lighthouse
that will never be able to fulfill its purpose. And perhaps that is the more profound
message we have in all of this. If this culture of spiritual pride and rebellion that has now
attached itself to the leadership of this church as a cancer, that will inevitably consume all
healthy tissue, is not removed, and quickly, the organization will never be able to fulfill its
reason for being, its divine purpose.
What kind of people will this depiction attract? It will
attract those who place great stock in appearances of superiority, those who are ruled by the
dweller of pride already, those who are looking for another badge of honor to pin upon their
own chests. Look at me, I have the highest teaching. Aren't I just wonderful to behold?
Indeed.
This is the modus operandi of the false hierarchy.
They want the children of God to swallow their distortions, and perversions of common sense.
And just like empty food is loaded with sugar to get the children to gobble it down, so too can
these empty images be arrayed with a visual allure that inspires the eye to gobble it down just
as quickly. As these seeds of mental and emotional chaos and confusion are anchored in the
subconscious of otherwise good souls, they cannot find inner peace, and because of that, they
have only one place to turn for stability in their worlds, to outer symbols of superiority on the
one hand, and on the other, to outer leaders who give them (false and baseless) assurances that
everything is ok. And in this way, filling the children of God with the very substance of
ignorance regarding the dangers that are coming fast upon them, the hordes of shadow lead the
children of God not just away from the Path of Initiation, but into a greater darkness of astral
confusion and finally death, as those dangers overtake them, and consume them.
Of course, the popular culture is full of examples of
this practice of distorting reality. Look at what they did with the word "gay". That word used
to be a positive, wholesome and innocent word, describing the pure happiness of innocent
childhood. Look at how they are using the rainbow as their symbol. And now look at what they
are trying to do with the word "marriage". Once the distortions start, they keep pushing for
more. So it is in every dimension of life, and so it will be in the life of this organization. The
process of distorting truth has already begun in a major way.
We must devise, within this
organization, those institutional mechanisms that we can invoke as necessary to arrest these
trends of corruption before they are allowed to go too far.
And so, that is the challenge we are facing in this
organization right now. Those who cling to the idea that these leaders have divine authority,
are the very ones who have swallowed these distortions of common sense. These distortions
interrupt the proper operation of the mind. Under the influence of these distortions, they can't
think, they can't reason. They are confused. In that inner state of confusion, there is no
stability, but only
fear, only anxiety. Where do they reach for stability? They can only cling to the false promises
of these imposters. Somehow, they think that their salvation rests upon their loyalty to those
who can so readily trample the Teaching, important traditions in this church, and common
sense along with it. I don't claim to understand them. I only know that they are driving this
organization into the abyss of spiritual failure.
Nothing I have said here departs one inch from the
domain of pure common sense. Yet, the wall of resistance and opposition to acting on these
observations, and reversing course, returning to the path of truth, you will find to be nearly
impenetrable. The pretty appearances will carry far more weight in the minds of the leadership
than any of these substantial observations. And again, I ask the reader to consider what is that
mind, wherein the vanity of the physical eye rules? It is the carnal mind, the dweller of pride
on the 3 o'clock line, and that substance of rebellion, that produces the idolatry on the 4/10
axis. Their minds are not capable of locking into the value of these observations. If they had
been capable, we would not be talking about these images today. And so, what they have done,
they have done, and they will stand in endless self-justification regarding what they have done,
even though it breaks all the laws of common sense. This tells you exactly who is in control of
this organization at present. It is not the Ascended Masters.
For those who sense a glimmer of understanding
taking hold within their minds, fan the flame I say, draw courage from it, and stand with us in
defense of the mission of this organization. Join us in our daily recitation of the Ritual of
Exorcism for the casting out of these forces of darkness from the leadership and even the larger
membership of our Church. That's right. Don't leave. Stand your ground with us, and keep
the vigil at the altar for the casting out of these tools of the sinister force from every
department of our organization.
There's Hope in the
Lighthouse Keepers
For those of you who feel a passionate desire to participate
in a direct manner in helping the current corrupt leadership find their way to the door, and for a
genuine leadership, with genuine integrity in the Light to find their way into our highest and
most holy offices, perhaps even with a loyalty to due process principles, and perhaps even some
aspirations for the implementation of some democratic processes for the choosing of leaders,
you have the option of joining The Lighthouse Keepers. This is the newest Holy Order of
Church Universal and Triumphant, established in April of 2004, formed to give the Ritual of
Exorcism on a daily basis. Have no fear. The Office of the Lighthouse Keepers is bolted
amidships to the main deck, right under the main mast, of Maitreya's Clipper Ship, otherwise
known as the Mother Ship. The call compels the answer. And we are here to stay. Click on the

APE MOUNTAIN
The Subliminal Ape Face
in the Chart of the Presence
(a reluctant but necessary expose)
By Steven S. Showers
When the Masters placed the title "Climb
the Highest Mountain" upon book one of the everlasting gospel, is it possible that they ever
had in mind "Ape" mountain? Do you really think that's what the Masters had in mind? I don't
think so, and I don't think that anyone in this entire organization would believe that this is what
the Masters had in mind. But that's what we have, outlined there, in the red box to the right.
Behold Ape Mountain.
My friends, an APE is an ANIMAL. Animals represent
the energy of God trapped in imperfect forms. An Ape cannot walk the Path of Initiation, nor
ever hope to become a point of healing power in the earth, nor ever hope to attain to the Ritual
of the Ascension. It is impossible. To have an animal form like that in the Chart of the Divine
Presence, is simply a sick and audacious joke perpetuated by the false hierarchy who yet
maintain levers of control, puppet strings if you will, right into the minds of those who should
have thrown that ape face out, long ago. But hold onto your hats, and get ready for the chorus
of those who have this untransmuted momentum of animal worship still vibrantly alive in their
electronic belts, who will now rush forward to safeguard this precious focus of upside down
energy, yes, right in the Chart of the Divine Presence.
Before proceeding, allow me please, to place onto the
record, the fact that the Subliminal Ape Face was not always in the Chart of the Presence. Here
is a copy of the Chart of the Presence, that appeared in the second printing of Climb the Highest
Mountain, in 1973. This is the only chart that Mark Prophet knew. If you look closely, you can
see the 1964 copyright notice at the bottom right.
The Chart of the Presence was re-engineered sometime
thereafter. This is the chart we know today, with the Subliminal Ape Face added. This image
is taken from the 1979, fourth printing, of Climb the Highest Mountain.
I am resurrecting this issue of the subliminal ape face
in the chart of the divine presence, because it represents a profound parallel to the situation
we are facing, as the membership is being asked to come to terms with an actual rebel in their
very midst, a center of rebellion from which much destruction is being perpetrated upon the
entire organization, yet wherein, that rebel is covered all over by all kinds of appearances of
power and authority and righteousness, and the people have a very very hard time dividing the
real from the unreal in this situation. Where confusion reigns in the minds of the student body,
you can be certain that the flame of victory will never get a foothold there.
This was exactly the case with the presence of this
subliminal ape face in the chart of the Divine Presence. I brought this issue up more than three
years ago, in March of 2001, and published a statement concerning it in the Footprints section
of this Journal. Click here to
see
the original statement. But no one wanted to come to terms with it then. And there was
one person who actually tried to make it look like the artist had some kind of a divine
inspiration, which is completely absurd. God our Father, and Mother, nor their adoring Sons
and Daughters, our Brothers and Sisters, who we know as the Ascended Masters, would
ever inspire an artist to place a subliminal image in such a crucial place, where it could only
have the effect of planting a seed of defeat in the minds of God's little children here on earth.
Let's review what was said at the time, and the images
that I published at the time. First, this was the statement of discovery that I recorded in my
journal on March 28, 2001, which was published in Footprints:
" I was just looking at the snow covered mountain on
the Chart of the Divine Self that is
depicted to the left of the Tube of Light. I just noticed that if you change the orientation of that
snow covered mountain from its present horizontal position, and rotate it 90 degrees to the
left, that you have the profile of a ape face! I think that should be changed. That could not have
been intentional. Certainly one can draw a mountain that doesn't look like an ape face. We
noticed this during this (3x) divine revelation recollection affirmation: "The endless fields of
divine wisdom revealed to me by the Great Divine Director." 3/28/2001 Wed."
That's what I recorded in my journal on that day. And
I made reference to what I was doing when I discovered this. Of course, I was in the midst of a
regular decree service, seated before the altar, and I was engaged in what I call a Divine
Revelation Recollection Affirmation. This is how a student Holds Fast to that which
he, or she, has received. You make the effort to remember it. And you make a concerted
effort to affirm it. You set aside time to do this. And that is what I was doing at the time. This
is the most perfect form of obedience there is. The particular divine revelation that I was
affirming, was one in which, some time previously, probably during calls to the Great Divine
Director, I was shown "The endless fields of divine wisdom ..." as noted.
The message in this for me, was that it was both
obedient, and wise, to do whatever it takes to get that subliminal image removed from the chart
of the presence. No case can be made that it serves a useful purpose, and a very large case can
be made that it serves a destructive purpose. So why doesn't anyone do anything about it?
Well, the same thing can be said of Linda Worobec's performance of a Beatle's tune on the
altar of the Holy Grail, in King Arthur's Court, on July 4, 2003. No case can be made that it
serves a useful purpose, and a very large case can be made that it serves a destructive purpose.
So why doesn't anyone do anything about it? There is a common reason why the student body
cannot come to terms with either. It is a combination of idolatry, fear and doubt, and
confusion, which happens to be the classic perversion of the water trine on the cosmic clock.
If you have not figured this out before, the number
666 refers to the perversion of the water trine. This is the mark of the beast. The number six
by itself, refers to the six o'clock line, and the three six's refer to the three points of the water
trine anchored there on the six o'clock line. Idolatry on the 10 o'clock line of God-Vision.
Doubt and fear and records of death on the 2 o'clock line of God-Mastery, and indecision,
hesitation, and confusion on the 6 o'clock line of God-Harmony. Why is it called the mark of
the beast? Perhaps it is as simple as this. The vision of a beast induces fear, which causes the
collapse of the light of the spine, which causes the soul to run away. The beast retains control
of the battlefield.
You don't think the false hierarchy understands the
perversion of the water trine? They do. They continuously throw rocks into the pond, so that a
mirror surface, parabolic in shape, and pointed towards the sun, will never be able to form.
These are the images that I first published back in
March of 2001. The Images were scanned from a 21 in. by 36 in. laminated Chart of the
Presence. A significant amount of detail has been lost in the scanning process. A lot of excess
image clutter was introduced when the image was converted from a bitmap to a jpeg image.
Nevertheless, on an actual Chart, the APE FACE is clear, and it is clear even on the wallet sized
chart:
1. Blow up of mountain area - normal orientation
2. Blow up of mountain area - rotated 90 degrees
Now, word has come to me, from the original artist, that
this mountain was modeled after Mt. Shasta. Of course, this is nothing like the images of Mt.
Shasta I have ever seen. I sent this image to a couple dozen people in the Shasta area, asking
them if they know of any perspective of the mountain that might correspond. Photographer Kevin Lahey responded, "This view
is from the northeast, but the summit is exaggerated and would not appear that much higher
than the rest of the mountain in real time."
I take this to mean, that the person would need to stand
North East of Mt. Shasta, that would be on the Nevada side, having the state of Oregon at your
back, looking South West, towards the distance ocean more or less. I looked through Kevin
Lahey's photo's, and I found a few taken from that perspective, and I reproduce one of those
here. Please visit his website to see
all the various faces of Mt. Shasta. They are many.
Now, if you look at this image, and squint really hard, i.e.
in order to blur out most of the detail, you can see a very slight suggestion of an ape face even
in the original mountain. But here, you really have to make an enormous effort. It is a few
hundred miles distant from the obvious. But, in the artist rendition on our Chart of the
Presence, it takes no effort. All of the elements that make for the ape face image to come forth
have been perfectly highlighted, and of course, the original mountain had to be distorted to do
that. The artist has compressed the scene horizontally, and exaggerated the scene in the
appropriate places vertically. And he had to paint in the suggestion of lips there, where there
is no corresponding natural feature that matches that. As for the nose section, the part of the
mountain had to be physically moved from its original location, which is behind the nearest
summit ridge, to in front of the nearest summit ridge, so that a shadow could be cast across the
front of the image. The right hand brow area was artificially squared off, where the original is
uniformly curved. And a light spot is added exactly where the eye would be. And then there is
the suggestion of the ear below.
The artist had an array of choices to depict Mt. Shasta,
but he chose the one that was most likely to appear as an ape face. No other perspective of the
mountain could produce such an effect. And if he had produced this perspective faithfully, it
would be difficult to see the ape face at all. But he made certain adjustments, as noted, so that
the ape face would be as clear as day. Why? Does it matter? Probably not. Though we could
probably say, and this accurately, that the ape is a beast, and a beast is a representation of the
dweller on the threshold, and we all have that beast lurking in our electronic belts from one
extent to another. The idea is to call for its binding, and to be watchful that we never express it.
Here it has been expressed. Let that expression be erased. What matters now, is that the
image of the ape be removed.
I am aware, because I have heard this argument
already, that the ape is some kind of a divine symbol in eastern religions, and perhaps the
Masters desired to have this divine symbol displayed on the most important chart that we have.
This argument can be easily refuted. The Masters have never said anything positive
about apes or monkeys. Nothing. Please review their statements with me. First, this statement
by Sanat Kumara:
Vol. 42 No. 34 - The Ancient of Days - August 22, 1999
International Resource Conference 1968 Architecture
of the Spirit: Engrams of Light from on High
When you understand talismanic magic, you will also
understand how it is being used today in the world of form. Each symbolic outpicturing of
psychedelics manifesting in the world today, together with the misuse of color, is an abortion
of the pure color ray that we on Venus would bestow upon the earth--this beautiful planet that
we love, our Terra.
We of Hesper, then, would create new worth in men, a
sense of cosmic architecture, noble, grand, and then would build each soul in this fair land to
understand the need to be an architect of freedom in the world. But what will you make
yourself free from? From all of the negative energy in the world that has been sustained by the
dark ones. They have created it. They sustain it and they have spread their symbology in
psychedelic art all over the world and are promoting it now even in your television programs so
that commercial advertisers also seek to bring these
psychedelic swirls, these reverse spirals, these awful manifestations into being because they are
a form of talismanic magic. Avoid them as the plague. Simply to gaze on them has a tendency
to bring you into that activity. It opens up Pandora's box into the psychic realms of horror. It
creates and recreates abortions of the Cosmic Law. It enslaves the world and seeks to keep men
underneath the paw of the ape , of ape creations, of slave creations, of darkness, of
blackness, of density and of violations of the Law. In the name of freedom they seek this awful
thing and manifest the strangeness of the sting of human horror and its creative manifestation.
We would free the world tonight from that blight, that
bane. Tonight we would invoke our
flame into the world order to seal the door where evil dwells, to put the stone of the Christ over
that opening and say, "Never shalt thou be anymore. Retreat into your caves of darkness and
horror, into your material realm where you will be consumed. For the atoms of light substance
within you must be released by the fiat that rolled away the stone on Resurrection Day!"
[This previously unpublished dictation by The Ancient of Days was delivered by
the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Mark L. Prophet on July 28, 1968, at the
International Resource Conference held in Los Angeles, California.]

I am tempted to say "case closed." Here, the Master is
telling us that the image of the ape is about the darkest, and blackest thing that there is, when
compared to the divine plan.
Now, here is the Messenger, Elizabeth Clare Prophet,
referring to an ape, in a lecture to Summit University students in 1992:
Vol. 43 No. 31 - Elizabeth Clare Prophet - July 30, 2000
Mother Teaches Summit University
Meeting Your Inner Master
The traits of consciousness, the conditions of
consciousness that make you and me
unacceptable to the inner Master come out in the very course of the work. "My Father worketh
hitherto, and I work," <2> and as we work with one another, as we get under a department head
who we think is a fool or an ape or a bozo who doesn't
know what he's talking about and we know much more than he does, we forget that we came to
Maitreya's Mystery School. And if we choose to serve here, we will serve under the person
nearest to us in the stage of our karma and the stage of our dweller. We may think that we're
much smarter and better than he is but, as a matter of fact, he is the best medicine we'll ever
have because if we do it right he will bring us humility and expose our human stubbornness.
People who have been around a long time get outraged
because another staff member may comment on what they're doing or not doing. Yet I have
encouraged every staff member to treat others equally, to gently remind one another when
someone is in a wrong vibration and then to accept a correction from that one's
Holy Christ Self.
We want to be certain that we give that correction in
love, but even if somebody comes along and bawls you out or criticizes you in a harsh manner
and it's not done well, learn from that person. I have made my enemies my, quote, "masters"
and have listened to every last thing a self-styled enemy has said against me or about me and
evaluated it objectively. Forget about the hatred that came with it or the condemnation. Is this
or is this not true? Is Maitreya giving me a lesson? One of the very first lessons I got from
Mark Prophet that came through El Morya was "If the Messenger be an ant, heed him." We
love the saying but we still have to obey it. You never know who is the instrument and best
friend of your own inner Master who tells you something that upsets you tremendously and
causes you to say, "How dare you speak to me in that manner!" If you see yourself having
that kind of a reaction to someone, that is when you start identifying pride. It can be when
something is said to you that you really can't take because you are insulted.
So meeting the master is not only meeting your point
of limitation but it is also having to meet the master in unexpected places. It can come with the
most unexpected points of wisdom that someone gives you, even though you think that person
knows nothing about the teaching and came in yesterday.
[This is the conclusion of the Messenger's teaching on Mark L. Prophet's lecture,
"Meeting Your Inner Master," given to Summit University Winter Quarter 1992 on January 30
and February 7, 1992, at the Royal Teton Ranch, Corwin Springs, Montana.]

Of course, there is superb lesson embedded in these
remarks, a lesson that the current leadership has so far ignored. But, the point here is, that the
Messenger is using the word "ape" in association with "bozo", in association with the principle
of foolishness at least, stupidity at worst. The "ape" is a symbol, at best, for a grotesque lack of
intelligence. Therefore, to depict that mountain in our chart in the shape of an ape, represents
an inversion of divine principle. Because as one of the Masters has said, the highest mountain,
represents a crown chakra full of golden illumination. There is nothing foolish, or bozo-like
when it comes to the pure light in the crown chakra. And so, what this does, by depicting the
mountain in the shape of an ape face, is turn the mountain upside down.
Whenever we consider what is meant by "Climb the
Highest Mountain" we must remember the words of Archangel Michael here. "The highest
mountain of your divinity is your crown chakra." That is what the mountain on the Chart of
the Presence symbolizes. How does one climb the highest mountain. Basically, what we are
talking about here, is passing those tests and initiations, that will allow the light of the spine to
rise in purity to fill the crown with pure light. Therefore, to fashion the mountain in the shape
of an ape face, to look upon that, is to draw the light of the spine down in vibration, causing the
crown chakra to go dark. That is the direction that the visualization is pulling the attention and
the energy of the viewer.
Here, we have the Master Jesus Christ refer to an ape,
in the course of a discussion of Robert Louis Stevenson's story, Jekyll and Hyde.
Vol. 40 No. 35 - Beloved Jesus Christ - August 31, 1997
Easter Retreat 1997, 16, Embrace the Guru
All it took was a tinge of prideful thought and down he
went, so great was his investment in evil by that time. He was revolted by his plight: He
thought of Hyde, for all his energy of life, as of something not only hellish but inorganic.
This was the shocking thing; that the slime of the pit
seemed to utter cries and voices; that the amorphous dust gesticulated and sinned; that what
was dead and had no shape, should usurp the office of life.
However, now one of the components of his potion had
run out. But the original supply of this component contained an unknown impurity that turned
out to be the needed active ingredient. And this ingredient was no longer to be found anywhere
in or around London. So he could no longer reproduce the original formula.
The good Dr. Jekyll was doomed to live out the
remainder of his days as his own nemesis, subject to the apelike spite and murderous craving of Edward Hyde.
As I am in silence, I am surveying levels and
compartments of your beings, your chakras, your lifestreams. You cannot withhold anything
from me, beloved, for I am your Lord and I see all things.
[The dictation by Jesus printed in this Pearl of Wisdom was given by the
Messenger for the Great White Brotherhood, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, on Sunday, March 30,
1997. (N.B. This dictation was edited for print by the Messenger under Jesus' direction.)]
|
|
The Messenger and the Master Jesus used this discussion
of Jekyll and Hyde to teach their students about the concept of the dweller on the threshold.
And the reference to being "apelike" is directed at the dweller on the threshold, that monster of
Anti-Christ that represents the synthetic, Godless, human creation. Now, in relationship to
what we know the mountain symbolizes, which is the crown chakra fully illuminated, which
represents a condition of total freedom from the dweller, then, to mold that mountain in the
shape of an ape, has the effect of dashing our hopes for freedom in Christ, for freedom within
that matrix of divine illumination, for the ape mountain symbol tells us, subliminally, that the
most, or the highest we can ever hope for, is to be enslaved by our dweller, to be fully
contained within our dweller, or full absorbed within our dweller on the threshold. This is a
very sinister symbol in that respect.
Here is another instance in which the Messenger,
Elizabeth Clare Prophet, referred to the ape:
Vol. 33 No. 12 - The Messenger - March 25, 1990
Prophecy for the 1990s, III, by Elizabeth Clare Prophet
9, Why We Are Vulnerable to Returning Karma: The
Abuse of Mother Earth and the Loss of the Aquarian
Age Mandala
Then there is the problem of genetic engineering.
What will be the response of Elohim in this
day and age when and if scientists in their laboratories should again combine the genes of
humans and apes to produce a slave race, as was done,
according to Zecharia Sitchin's research, 300,000 years ago? According to Sitchin's book The
12th Planet, ancient Sumerian texts tell the story of the creation by Nephilim of the first Homo
sapiens as a race of primitive workers. According to Sitchin's interpretation of the texts, the
Nephilim were alien beings who came to earth in spacecraft. He says they fertilized the egg of a
female Homo erectus (or ape man) with the sperm of the
Nephilim, and reimplanted them in the wombs of female Nephilim.
Mark Prophet described this process before Zechariah
Sitchin ever wrote his books. The story of the creation of "mechanization man" is in our
paperback book, The Soulless One, and was also published in the 1965 bound volume of Pearls
of Wisdom, The Mechanization Concept.
Those who have eyes to see can see that genetic
engineering has gone on for hundreds of thousands of years on this earth and other planets.
Well, on May 14, 1987, it came to light that
scientists in the United States and other countries have been secretly experimenting with the
very same techniques of artificial fertilization. A professor at Florence University in Italy said
that scientists are capable of cross-breeding a female chimpanzee, fertilized with human male
sperm, to create a new breed of "slaves" to perform menial tasks. We haven't heard any update
on this story since then but clearly there are scientists who are determined to pursue these
experiments. The when and the if are here. How do you suppose Almighty God and his
servants, the Lords of Karma, will respond to this new beginning of a new slave race?
[ "Prophecy for the 1990s III" is based on a lecture given by Elizabeth Clare
Prophet May 21, 1989, at the Sheraton Centre Hotel, New York, updated for publication in the
1990 Pearls of Wisdom.]

Clearly, from the perspective of the Messenger, and the
Masters, our genes are not to be blended with that of the ape. That would subject the soul to
a condition of slavery. Therefore, this tells us that the ape is associated with the slavery of the
soul. And if this is the case, why would it be ok to have our consciousness blended with that of
the ape? When we look on that mountain in the chart, that is what we are doing. We are
blending our consciousness with the ape, This, of course, is not ok.
Here is another statement along these lines from
Beloved Enoch, this time referring to the Darwinians, who, as you are well aware, try to
convince the people of the earth that we are all descended from apes.
Vol. 24 No. 5 - Beloved Enoch - February 1, 1981
The Class of the Archangels - God Has Sent the
Seven Archangels for the Rescue of the People
of Light on Earth, II, The Elect One Cometh
At the Convergence of Golden-Ratio Spirals
Ascending and Descending
And whence cometh the lesser creation? It is also the
product of genetic manipulation.
And therefore one can look back and further back and
discover these self-styled Darwinians <26>
who, in the very origination of the evil of their hearts, <27> determined to enslave the Christic
Light gainst whom they rebelled in the courts of heaven.
Thus there are levels of rebels called
fallen ones.
And the Watchers represented a class all of their own
who responded to the lust of power, to the mockery of God, to the entering in of the misuse of
the life-force itself.
Beloved hearts, these fallen ones have never, never in
eternity to the very present hour of my speaking to you repented of their deeds. They, therefore,
have stolen the essence of the sacred fire and in it sought to deify the lesser self to enthrone it
and to dethrone the Godhead and its entire hierarchy. Against the absolute misuse of Life itself,
there is no forgiveness, there is no mercy. For to forgive would be also to endow that creation
with a permanent place in God's own being. But this perversion of God cannot dwell in God.
And therefore it cannot dwell anywhere.
Thus in the hour of the harvest, <28> my beloved ones,
there comes forth the intensity of Light that calls unto itself. And by the accelerated speed of
light passing through the golden-ratio spirals ascending and descending, there is produced then
the separating out of all misuse of the very seed of Christ! And thus, this creation that is neither
here nor there must cease to be. For in the very beginning it has chosen not to be but only to
propagate the antithesis of God who is Life which is death and the death consciousness.
Endnotes:
26 . In their linkage of the ape with the seed of fallen angels they
created the link between theanimal and the human race which they later as reincarnated
Darwinians used to prove their Darwinian theory of evolution thus intimidating the children of
the Light (the Christic seed) to believe that they are of the animal creation.
|
|
Now, we take from this, that the Children of God are
not supposed to believe that they are descended from the animal creation. The desire of the
Masters for us, is that we resist all attempts of the fallen ones to so convince or persuade us.
The depiction of the ape face in the chart of the presence works in the opposite direction. By
looking on this ape face, we are made to feel more comfortable with it, and more sympathetic
with it, and perhaps feel a sort of kinship with it, as the image is blended with our mountain top
aspirations.
There is another important lesson in the words
just quoted that I would like to underscore. Whenever the behavior of anyone begins to look
like this: " ... these fallen ones have never, never in eternity to the very present hour of my
speaking to you repented of their deeds." That person should be very concerned. This
describes the behavior of Church Manager Linda Worobec.
Now, having displayed all the instances wherein the
Masters have mentioned apes, we will move from the "ape" to the monkey, being a
related animal creature. We will look at what the Masters think about monkeys. And the first
statement, we take from the very same dictation by Archangel Michael that I referred to above,
in relationship to the crown chakra as the highest mountain. Here, the Master refers to the
monkey three times.
Vol. 28 No. 2 - Archangel Michael - January 13, 1985
The Judgment of Peshu Alga , The Archangel in
Prayer before the Eternal Father
Now, beloved ones, change is the alchemy of this
conference and this new year the alchemy of the violet flame. If you desire to be a new creature
in Christ, then you must forsake the old creature. You cannot have both. You cannot become
the new creature and carry the old image on your back.
We take no monkeys into our chambers; and the old image is the monkey mind and the monkey
imitator who can never integrate with the Word because the vessel is not adequate, the chalice
cannot prevail. Thus, I ask you to symbolically take a step forward where you are, even in
place, to sense the dropping from behind you of the old self, to sense that there are cosmic
moments, there are moments of destiny, even as I had my moment of destiny to choose to move
on in a most painful parting that I myself had to undergo the parting from one who determined
to follow that Lucifer, the fallen angel. And therefore, I had to stand alone and move on and
forsake that one.
[This dictation by Archangel Michael was delivered through the Messenger
Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Saturday, December 29, 1984 (1:31 p.m. PST), during the 6-day
New Year's Light of the World Conference, at Camelot.]
|
|
What is the essence of the Master's word here? If we fully
absorb the visual geometry of the ape face mountain on this chart, we will not be admitted into
their chambers. The master says clearly, that they take no monkeys into their chambers.
Certainly, this applies more so to apes. The monkey mind, is just another way to say the carnal
mind, the mind that is one with the dweller on the threshold. That consciousness cannot rise
into the purity of the crown chakra, and therefore, that soul cannot know its divine identity.
Here is another reference to a monkey.
Vol. 28 No. 24 - Beloved Surya - June 16, 1985
Easter Conclave at Camelot, "Come, leave your
nets I will make you fishers of men." VII
The Sun behind the Sun
Why, the human being alone is nothing but the monkey mind, nothing but the evolved animal. It takes far more
than this to change the course of men and nations and civilizations! And therefore, let us leave
off from thinking that we will ever accomplish this by the mere mortal manifestation of
selfhood. Thus, I urge you to rise beyond it, to believe you can rise beyond it, to know you are
rising beyond it, and to know that the Sun behind the sun of manifestation truly the Son of God
shining in all His strength <20> is your divine Reality.
[This dictation by Surya was delivered through the Messenger of the Great White
Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Easter Sunday, April 7, 1985, during the 5-day Easter
Conclave at Camelot.]

It is sort of ironic, when we have the Master calling us to
rise above the monkey mind, but we have the mountain in our charts, pressing a subliminal
ape face into our minds. The ape face in our charts is working against, exactly 180 degrees
against, the purposes of the Masters.
Again, the mountain is the symbol of the summit of
being, which is the crown chakra, or shall we say the divine mind. And yet, it is depicted in the
shape of an ape face. So the mountain, in this shape becomes the symbol of the ape mind,
which is far worse than the monkey mind, which the Master admonishes us to leave behind.
Here is an interesting point brought out by Sean
Prophet, during those years when the Masters still stood between him and his own dweller.
The monkey on the back is more than the dweller on the
threshold here. Here, the term monkey is referring to an astral entity associated with drug
addiction. Generally speaking, when we think about apes, or monkeys, we are talking about the
slavery of the soul to various modalities of darkness. There is no place in the Chart of the
Presence for such in image. It just shouldn't be there.
Here is one of my favorite quotes, again from a lecture
given by the Messenger. It is just dripping with irony.
Vol. 31 No. 7 - Elizabeth Clare Prophet - February 14, 1988
New Year's Retreat at the Royal Teton Ranch VII
The Race for Space America, Accept the Challenge
to Master Time and Space for Saint Germain!
One of the key reasons the Soviets are ahead in space is
sabotage. And our people, our government and our media are absolutely unwilling to see or to
do anything about it when it parades before their wondering eyes. It's like the monkeys , "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil," and that's the
prevailing metaphysics of this country: pretend it isn't there, see nothing of war, hear nothing
of war, speak nothing of war. Don't look at what the enemy is doing, don't listen to what he's
really saying, just think peace, think it hard, see peace, see it with all your mental might, and
enter into dialogues of peace citizen-to-citizen via satellite and believe with metaphysical faith
that peace will come because you have willed it so.
[Based on a lecture by Elizabeth Clare Prophet delivered on January 3, 1988, at the
Royal Teton Ranch, Montana, updated for print as this week's Pearl. ]

Don't we have the clearest evidence, that this fundamental
characteristic of the monkey mind is fully anchored within the membership of this church
generally today? When we think about Church Manager Linda Worobec's desecration of the
altar of the Holy Grail on July 4, 2003, when we think about the destruction of the unity of the
Russian congregation, what is the attitude of the general membership today? Isn't it very much
like this, just like what the Messenger was talking about? "It's like the monkeys , "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil," and that's the
prevailing metaphysics of this country: pretend it isn't there ... "
We have so far covered apes, monkeys, and now, we
can look at what the Master St. Germain has to say about "dumb beasts".
Vol. 23, No. 46 - Beloved Saint Germain - Nov. 16, 1980
A Victory Celebration, Almighty God is the Winner!
Thus God holds in store for each and every one of you who
catch the vision of the Mighty Blue Eagle in this hour that
there is indeed a mighty eagle soaring over America! It is
the formation of legions of light. You can join them, if
you will! You can seize the opportunity—as some elected
officials have done—to ride not upon the coattails but upon
the wings of light of the Great White Brotherhood.
. . . . .
You are not dumb
beasts! You know how to sing and
praise God and affirm his name. And I assure you that no one has
ever entered the courts of heaven without this as the
antecedent to the victory.
|
|
This is what a dumb beast cannot do. A dumb beast
cannot sing and praise God and affirm his name. Clearly, the Master would not want us to
become like unto a dumb beast either. Given the fact that what you look upon you become, is
there any doubt about the fact that this Master would cast his ballot for the removal of the
image of the dumb beast, from the Chart of the Divine Presence? There is no doubt in my
mind about that.
Now, let us turn to the issue of subliminal seduction.
The Masters have spoken to this. Let us consider the sense of danger they attach to this
modality of visual communication.
Vol. 25 No. 70 - Beloved El Morya - December 31, 1982
A Mighty Release of the Heart
Now, I have told you that
this magazine is Climb the Highest Mountain, and we have published in its entirety,
according to the direction of the Darjeeling Council, the
chapter one, "Your Synthetic Image," so that the world might
have the undiluted truth. First is the image of Jesus
Christ and his teaching, then the synthetic image of where
the people are, and then the powerful exposé, that is given
concerning subliminal seduction in advertising–selling
products to the subconscious mind.
|
|
First, I would point out, that we have in this statement
an affirmation of the general concept, discussed above, that the highest mountain we can climb
is to the crown chakra. The Master affirms this by signifying that this effort to bring
understanding to the minds of the people through the medium of this magazine, is synonymous
with Climb the Highest Mountain. The quality of understanding is always associated with the
crown chakra. And then in regards to subliminal seduction, he refers to that particular article
as a "powerful expos‚". Here we are given to understand that desires can be placed into our
subconscious mind through the avenue of subliminal advertising. That is all we need to know.
We don't need anything more to tell us, that the ape face in the chart will enter into the
subconscious mind, and work from there to distort the consciousness of the student. Yes, the
seed of a very destructive belief is inserted into the subconscious, a belief that the soul already
has an affinity for. The student is seduced into believing that the dweller represents the height
of spiritual evolution, so why go to the trouble of casting it out?
Just one more reference to the issue of subliminal
seduction. That reference comes at the end of this excerpt. I have included some additional
material preceding that, which speaks to several of the fundamental issues that we are dealing
with here.
Vol. 18, No. 43 - Archangel Raphael - October 26, 1975
Vials of the Seven Last Plagues, IX, The Judgment of the
Carnal Mind as the Seat of Authority in Mater
And so it is with the flame of truth. It brings all things to
the fore of consciousness–the elements of the mind and of the emotions, the substance of the
subconscious as well as physical densities. When the ray of truth is used as the catalyst, that
which is unseen becomes the seen. And the disobedience of Lot's wife precipitates the pillar of
salt, that all who seek to raise up the feminine ray might know that obedience is the key to
godly alchemy.
. . . . .
I come forth from the Temple of the Tabernacle of the
Testimony. And the heavens are opened this day as I pour out from the golden vial the wrath of
God upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom is full of darkness this day; and those that
worship the beast shall gnaw their tongues for pain and blaspheme the God of heaven because
of their pains and their sores; yet they repent not of their deeds. This vial contains mankind's
wrathful misuses of the fifth ray of life and the science of life, of healing and healing truth, and
of the abundance of the immaculate consciousness of the Cosmic Virgin. All of this the fallen
ones have taken to create the beast of the carnal mind sitting in the seat of the soul. Now we
unseat the carnal mind! We dislodge it from its moorings! We cut it off from the light of the
soul! No longer shall it vampirize the solar energies of the sons and daughters of God. It has
laid claim to earthly existence. Let it stand this day before the Court of the Sacred Fire and
present proof of its origin, its lineage, its heritage.
Let those who rely on the carnal mind as the seat of a
human authority and a human personality prepare themselves to give testimony before the Four
and Twenty Elders. Let them receive our warning that all that proceeds out of the light of the
logos and all that is of God, showing forth allegiance to Alpha and Omega, will live in the
eternal kingdom. And all that is of the world must receive the judgment of this world.
. . . . .
While the souls of mankind prepare to make right
choices, the structures and the superstructures of the fallen ones come tumbling down; for their
foundation was in the seat of the beast, whose kingdom is filled with darkness.
. . . . .
And let all that has been precipitated out of the astral
plane, out of the collective subconscious, out of the seat of the beast, be challenged by the
sword of truth!
. . . . .
Behold, mankind, now is the accepted time! Now is the
day of salvation! Now let those who are contributing to the pollution of the body of the Mother
through the manufacture and sale of alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, and every harmful drug be
exposed! And let them repent of their deeds. Let the selling of sex and the promotion of
products accompanied by subliminal sex symbols be
exposed! And let those with bloodstained hands repent of their deeds.
|
|
The ape is the symbol for the beast of the carnal mind that
the Archangel is referring to here. "All of this the fallen ones have taken to create the beast
of the carnal mind sitting in the seat of the soul. Now we unseat the carnal mind! We dislodge
it from its moorings! We cut it off from the light of the soul! No longer shall it vampirize the
solar energies of the sons and daughters of God. " And so, when the Archangel says, " ...
let all that has been precipitated out of the astral plane, out of the collective subconscious, out
of the seat of the beast, be challenged by the sword of truth!" You can be sure that we are
on safe ground as we challenge the subliminal ape face in the Chart of the Presence. We unseat
it from the foundation of false authority on which it rests, perhaps the illusion that the
Brotherhood approves of its presence. We dislodge it from those false moorings. And we cut it
off from the light of the soul. We do that by removing it from the chart once and for all.
And as to the issue of subliminal seduction, the
Archangel says, "Let the selling of sex and the promotion of products accompanied by
subliminal sex symbols be exposed!" He is talking about sex here. But the general
principle applies to the use of subliminal advertising to promote any destructive concept,
principle or image.
What is the subliminal effect of having the all
important mountain summit shaped in the form of an APE FACE? Given what we know about
the impact of subliminal imaging, it's very likely that this subliminal image reinforces, or adds
to, the soul's existing electronic belt momentum of confusing the Dweller on the Threshold
with the Real Self. This means that its effect tends towards failure on the path, rather than
victory on the path.
"There is a great responsibility in holding any concept in your mind, because as the concept
is, so will the manifestation be." Mark L.Prophet, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, The Masters
and
the Spiritual Path, p.52
Throughout American society are already spread the
diabolical tentacles of Darwinism, everywhere they choke and squeeze the very light out of the
minds of the people, in terms of least their own native common sense. This Darwinism, an
origin myth inordinately twisted and diverted away from the sunlight of divine hope, though
taught as science fact, holding that man has evolved from apes, already colors the collective
mind with this false and destructive principle which holds that good can evolve out of the
carnal, material, lower nature. And so, enter Ape Mountain to affirm the validity of these pre-
existing chains, causing them to hang the heavier upon so many innocent minds. Having this
false principle ratified by the image of Ape Mountain, and thereby anchoring it more firmly in
the subconscious, makes what is already difficult, more difficult, requiring even more effort,
than would otherwise be necessary, to gather up the determination to divide the real from the
unreal within the temple of the soul. This image strengthens human pride, because Darwinism
represents the very apex of human pride, which is to say, that false logic that embodies the
greatest rejection of the soul's relationship to God. And it thereby strengthens false hope, that
a better day can arrive from human effort alone. This subliminal ape face uses the pre-existing
momentum associated with Darwinism, and adds to it, and even capitalizes on it. What is the
seed of such a deep dark lie doing in the Chart of the Presence?
Where, I ask you, are those hundred and thousands of
souls who have succeeded in this great feat of throwing off the monkey mind, who have merged
with the radiance of their own Christ Identity? Where are they? Where are those who are
supposed to be walking the earth right now, showing mankind the way through the portal that
will lead the entire planet into a Golden Age? Where are they? The ascended master student
body stands, as a whole, clearly confused, not able to divide the real from the unreal within
themselves. They cannot even see the advantage of casting a veritable rebel out of the
leadership of their own church. This confusion is in fact a reflection of the juxtaposition,
within this one chart, of the great truth of the I Am Presence, with this Ape Mountain image,
and the upside principles associated with it, leaving the soul with the suggestion, that they can
have both a relationship with God, and a relationship with the monkey mind. And so, we
have no clean separation, and thus, no progress. That is what we have. We have no progress
towards the fulfillment of the hopes and dreams of the Ascended Masters.
Where, I ask you, is the clear crystalline radiant spark
of truth, that illuminates the mind with an understanding, non-erodible, of exactly why those
who advocate and justify rebellion against the law, must be required to step down from their
leadership positions? That sparkle, and the radiant filaments of light associated with it, they
are swamped, they are stifled, by the many tentacles of the monkey mind itself, which feels
only fear at the prospect of losing all the advantages associated with having the monkey mind
rule over us. What the monkey mind fears, it hates, and the light itself is driven out of the
awareness by the many whips of contempt and derision.
Given its clearly destructive nature, who in the world
is going to stand up and argue for the retention of this image? Let me guess. I can hear their
main argument already. "Mother was Ok with it. So, don't worry about it." This illustrates how
destructive idolatry can be,
arguing powerfully for the ingestion of falsehood itself, just because it appears that some
otherwise respected leader approved of it. In this regard, idolatry is the worst form of
mindlessness.
Now, idolatry is the worst form of
mindlessness. I can assure you that idiolatry is the worst form of mindlessness. Believe me,
idiolatry is the worst form of mindlessness. I am not kidding you. Idiolatry is the worst form
of
mindlessness. Make no mistake about it. Idiolatry is the worst form of mindlessness. Let us be
clear about this, idiolatry is the worst form of mindlessness. This is the truth. Idiolatry is the
worst form of mindlessness. Now here is a secret, that perhaps you have never heard before.
Idiolatry is the worst form of mindlessness. Rest assured, that idiolatry is the worst form of
mindlessness. You can take this to the bank. Idiolatry is the worst form of mindlessness. I am
searching for the next euphemism. How about this. A wise man once said, idiolatry is the
worst form of mindlessness. And so it has been written, and this accounts for the twelth time,
idoltary is the worst form of mindlessness. And so, if you found this question on a test, What is
the worst form of mindlessness? You know the answer. It is idolatry.
Well, speaking of mindlessness, why did the Masters
allow the mind of Elizabeth Clare Prophet to be consumed by Alzheimer Disease? A person
who is under the influence of Alzheimer Disease, is by definition MINDLESS. How is it
possible, that the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood would be allowed by all the
sponsoring Masters, who could just as easily heal her, as blink an eyelid, to manifest a
condition of undeniable MINDLESSNESS?
Now, let's not act like those see no evil, hear no evil,
speak no evil monkeys the Messenger herself referred to above. Let us not hide our faces from
the warning signs written by the very pen of circumstance.
Ape Mountain is a symbol of the monkey mind. The
monkey mind is not the divine mind. The monkey mind is mindless, in relationship to the
divine mind. Again, the monkey mind is mindless, in relationship to the divine mind. Again,
the monkey mind is mindless, in relationship to the divine mind. Ape mountain exalts the
principle of the monkey mind, even as the Teaching demands the students jettison it. As they
say, a picture is worth a thousand words. The image of Ape Mountain on this chart has
impressed a state of confusion upon so many, making them nigh to incapable of throwing off
the monkey mind, greatly prolonging their stay in that region of monkey mind mindlessness.
Therefore, all who were responsible for adding this image of the monkey mind to the Chart of
the Presence, must bear the karma associated with chaining souls more thoroughly to the
monkey mind, or shall we say, to a prolonged condition of mindlessness which it represents.
And so, the person who is the most responsible for this, is our own Messenger, Elizabeth Clare
Prophet. She did not paint it. But she appointed the person who did. And approved his work.
And when the ape face was pointed out to her, she refused to take it off. She was aware of it,
and she did nothing to eliminate it. And so, she bears the karma of encouraging mindlessness
in the student body. And so, it is perfectly fitting, like unto a glove, that the karma for
encouraging mindlessness, is to suffer mindlessness herself. The law is just. This is very
straightforward, but we are not finished.
Why did she not remove it? She knew about it, and as
you can see, her own views on the subject of apes are clear. She associates apes with stupidity.
So she had no affinity for the image herself, at least not consciously. But she allowed it to
remain. Why? We can only conclude that she was afraid of taking a huge hit of
embarrassment upon her public image, when it become known that the precious chart of the
presence had to be altered, to remove a subliminal ape face. She could not accept this hit upon
her image, so she remained silent, and ignored it. What is it that motivates a person to guard
the public image, making that a higher priority than the soul's service to truth? It is pride. And
what is the soul guarding in terms of the public image? Is it God? Is to truth? No, it is the idol
of the not-self. Her public image had become an idol in her own mind, that could not suffer
any hits, at least not of this magnitude. You see, she had adopted the idea that the success of
the movement was based more on an appearance of personal flawlessness on her part, than it
was on the membership's capacity to attune to the truth. This is an upside down idea. The idea
that the success of the movement could be built on the mindlessness of the student body, that is
an upside down idea.
Of course, I am not saying that these specific
geometries of thought passed through her conscious mind. No. When a person faces the test of
idolatry, they are by definition pigeon-holed at that moment in a domain of mindlessness,
which is self-supported by the glittery presence of various modes of self-justification. I don't
want to do that, and this is why, a, b, c. And we will now move on to more important things.
The person, operating in a narrow domain of fear, will make a decision, and close the door of
wisdom with a slam, and quickly. But, as I have delineated it, this is the logic that undergirds
the choice to dodge the responsibility to take that ape face out of the chart.
This is why people need to be challenged. It is
because when they fail a test, they do not know they failed it. These mechanisms of the dweller
operate nearly instinctually. It is the responsibility of those looking on, to tell her when she
was making a grievous mistake. But, there was no one like that around her.
And so, here we have the issue of idolatry entering
into the equation on a personal level. And what did we observe above, about idolatry? We
tied it to mindlessness. But this was on the part of the membership. In other words, and to
repeat myself, to swallow a falsehood, just because an otherwise highly respected leader
believes it to be ok, is the epitome of mindlessness. And so I observed, and rightly so, that
idiolatry is the worst form of mindlessness. It is form of self-poisoning.
And so, we can see the truth. Idiolatry is the
worst form of mindlessness. I can assure you that idiolatry is the worst form of mindlessness.
Believe me, idiolatry is the worst form of mindlessness. I am not kidding you. Idiolatry is the
worst form of mindlessness. Make no mistake about it. Idiolatry is the worst form of
mindlessness. Let us be clear about this, idiolatry is the worst form of mindlessness. This is
the
truth. Idiolatry is the worst form of mindlessness. Now here is a secret, that perhaps you have
never heard before. Idiolatry is the worst form of mindlessness. Rest assured, that idiolatry is
the worst form of mindlessness. You can take this to the bank. Idiolatry is the worst form of
mindlessness. I am searching for the next euphemism. How about this. A wise woman once
said, idiolatry is the worst form of mindlessness. And so it has been written, and this accounts
for the twenty-fourth time, idiolatry is the worst form of mindlessness. And so, if you found
this question on a test, What is the worst form of mindlessness? You know the answer. It is
idolatry.
But this also applies to the person who is defending a
public image which has become an idol in their own mind, the survival of the image becoming
more important than the survival of the truth. This form of idolatry is also
mindlessness. This is because, for the soul to turn its back on the truth, for the soul to turn its
back on the best interests of its constituency, the Mind of Christ must be suppressed. You see,
she did not want to take the hit upon her personal public image. But the divine mind in her,
would have argued in the opposite direction. The divine mind would have said, "Fix this
please. Save the little children from this poisonous influence. Fix this please." To reside in a
state of "mind" wherein the counsel of the divine mind is ignored, that is mindlessness. And I
suppose there are all kinds of rationalizations that go along with that. Perhaps minimizing, in
her own (monkey) mind, the import of this particular issue. But such rationalizations, these are
also the expressions of the mindlessness of the dweller of pride. It can always produce a
foundation of logic that can make any act appear righteous (to itself). That is why the Teaching
is so important. Actions must square with the principles elucidated in the Teachings given to
us
by the Masters. If they do not, we have pinned the tail on the monkey.
And so, what is the karma that she must bear, for
indulging this state of mindlessness in her own temple? It is fitting, that a condition of greater
mindlessness will come upon her, and so it has. She sits in her little apartment, day in, and day
out, incapable now, if thinking any thought that could carry the purposes of the Ascended
Masters forward to victory. If you are offended at this statement, take a second look, and
notice what I have said is true. And then consider this truth. That your reaction is the sign of
idolatry in you, which is a barrier to your own victory, as long as you indulge it.
And then we can look to the instances in which she
actually encouraged people in their own idolatry towards her. Where she encouraged them to
accept her (personal) pronouncements and opinions without thinking about them at all. She
went way too far, in my judgment, in encouraging people to believe that every thing she did and
said came straight from the heart of the Masters. Leading to this condition which is now all
too prevalent among the student body, that says if Mother did it, or Mother said it, it is pure
gold. Such statements point to the presence of a virulent condition of idolatry again within the
membership, which again, is a state of mindlessness. It is a state of darkness. It is a state of
non-illumination. And this condition of mindlessness is defended with great passion, even
when the Masters tell us that this Messenger made mistakes, and when some of her mistakes
are well known.
To the extent that she encouraged this idolatry among
the student body, in terms of her statements and actions, this expansion and further infliction of
a state of mindlessness, will carry the same karma. That which she inflicted on others, she will
have fall upon her own head. And so, we see her now in a state of mindlessness, a state of
mindlessness that is even lower than the monkey mind itself. The law is just, it is exact, and it
is precise. It is written, to those who have not, that which they have will be taken away. This
applies to those people who have been given much, and from whom, much is expected. And
when they do not deliver at the level that their mission requires, then they are stripped of what
they have. She has been stripped of nearly everything she once had. That is an objective fact
and it cannot be disputed.
And so, we see that the karmic burden of mindlessness
that she bears today, is a composite consequence of the mindlessness that she indulged in these
three categories. The percentages indicate my (intuitive) sense of the extent to which each
category contributed to the total karmic burden she is now carrying.
1. The mindlessness that was inflicted on the student body as a result of the Ape image in the
Chart of the Presence. (50%)
2. The mindlessness that she indulged in terms of her own pride driven self-idolatry, based on
the need to guard the integrity of her public image. (30%)
3. The mindlessness that she indulged in other people, as she encouraged their idolatry of her.
(20%)
Now, this infliction of certain amounts of
mindlessness on the student body, in each of these three categories, has the effect of robbing
the student of opportunity to become the Christ, in other words, to put on the divine mind. We
would expect that the karma associated with that, would manifest as an equivalent loss of
opportunity in her. That is exactly what we see. The Messenger, in 1995, looked forward to 20
years or more of service, writing, giving lectures, and communing with the masters in the
course of that service. By 1998, she was forced to retire. And soon, all capacity to serve was
withdrawn from her. Her opportunity to put on more of the Mind of Christ, in the course of
her own service, was taken away from her.
And of course, there were certain situations in which
through the misuse of her executive power, she unjustly robbed people of their opportunity to
serve in a direct manner. Where there is point of self-idolatry, it is associated with a region of
blindness. And if the Messenger could be tempted to enter that compartment of being, she
could, and she did, make decisions out of that blindness. And so, injustices were inflicted. But
what made things worse, because of the idolatry that she encouraged, both in herself, and in
others, the people around her were incapable of confronting the injustices she herself authored.
This allowed the injustices to have a much longer life span, accruing a much greater karmic
debt, than would otherwise have been the case if the injustices were confronted and overturned.
Those who feel that I am condemning the Messenger
here, and who are feeling offended, are just experiencing the challenging of their own idolatry.
In many this is a very thick shell of indeed. And they should understand that it is a shell of
spiritual failure, woven over the course of many lifetimes. Now is the time to break that shell,
and allow the butterfly of freedom to fly into the arms of God. To this end, we are interested
in forging a middle way of truth.
One extreme of the idolatrous consciousness, which
sees the Messenger as God incarnate, will not accept the idea the Messenger could make a
mistake at all. And they embrace everything she did as pure gold, though if what she said in a
particular situation exposed a condition of error in them, they will be the first to deny the
Messenger's words. (Look at Linda Worobec if you need an example of that). After all, the
idol of first import is always the resident not-self. The other extreme of the idolatrous
consciousness, which sees the Messenger as the Devil incarnate, will search the record for
every little mistake the Messenger made, and they will use that information to prove that she
was no Messenger at all, and of course, that the Ascended Masters are fiction.
The middle way forges a stable path between these two
extremes, and enables the soul to remain a steadfast devotee of the truth in all situations. And
this means serving the best interests of all concerned, whether we are talking about the best
interests of the individual soul, of the membership, of the organization, of the Ascended
Masters, of God our Father himself, and of all the people of the earth. The middle way begins
on a foundation of truth. The Ascended Masters are real. They are far more real than anything
in this physical world. They are our heavenly brothers and sisters each one, whom God our
Father has sent to lead his fallen children home. This Messenger, was in fact the Messenger of
the Ascended Masters, of the entire spirit of the Great White Brotherhood. She did in fact
deliver dictations from the Ascended Masters which outline a Teaching and a Path that will
lead the Children of God back home to their divine estate. She did a superb job in the delivery
and publishing of the Teaching. And when the many on earth adopt this path, and walk it, the
social structure that will blossom forth, even like rose, will be called a Golden Age. The
Messenger was not an ascended master. The Messenger was never even described as an adept.
Never. The Messenger was a
student just like us. And she had to take her tests, and pass her tests, just like us. And just like
us, some tests were so difficult, she failed them. She made mistakes. She had foibles and
weaknesses just like any student has. And of course, she worked under enormous pressure
nearly 100% of the time, a pressure that none of us can even imagine. We respect her the more,
because we know that she trained long for this mission. We respect her the more, because the
Masters chose HER to deliver their word. And so, all the good she did, all the good she
accomplished, we recognize, and we extend our eternal gratitude. And where there are
mistakes made, they must be clearly illuminated, so that the mistakes can be fixed.
This is the only healthy way to proceed. We cannot
have students, in their monkey minds, mimicking her mistakes, and thinking they are walking
on water while they are doing it. No. Her mistakes must be clearly illuminated, so they can be
fixed, so that students do not carry those mistakes forward. Those mistakes are no part of the
foundation of the Aquarian Age. This is an especially significant point, when you remember
that the central part of the Teaching has to do with dividing the real from the unreal. And that
applies to the Messengers's life, just as much it applies to every other part of life. Could it
possibly be a condition of Christ-Illumination, that refuses to divide the real from the unreal in
the Messenger's life? That's impossible. That refusal to divide the real from the unreal in the
Messenger's life, making believe, in that all too familiar world of 9 o'clock delusion that
everything in her life was REAL, is an expression of the one extreme of idolatry that I
mentioned above, and it represents a certain anti-logic that has a grip upon the whole mind of
the student, holding that student back from making progress on his or her own path of freedom.
I hope you see and understand this.
The importance of this great challenge, of throwing off
this anti-logic from the minds of the student body, is so great, and so pressing, that the Masters
required the Messenger to bear the burden of her karma, associated with these mistakes, now,
on center stage in front of us, so that we will learn this lesson, so that we will assimilate this
lesson. Yes, so the student body can achieve a state of freedom from this great mistake which
has a grip upon their very souls.
But as we consider the need to wiggle out of these
chains, let us keep the middle way in perspective, even as our vision penetrates through the
mist ahead, along this well-defined path, and into the future. What do we see? We see that the
contribution of Elizabeth Clare Prophet, in terms of the Teaching delivered, provides the
foundation upon which we will build the Golden Age to come. And as we look forward to the
blossoming of this Golden Age, we can see, and we would have it no other way, that the
memory of her honorable service will be carried forward, generation unto generation. The
honor we extend to her, the honor all future generations will extend to her, will be predicated
alone on the value of the Teaching that she delivered from the hearts of the Ascended Masters.
The honor we extend to her, the honor that all future generations will extend to her, therefore, is
not predicated on the level of perfection she herself manifested in this one chapter of her life.
And because it is not, her flaws and mistakes cannot detract from the glory that the Teaching
alone can take credit for in all future times. As we assimilate that teaching, and receive the
great fruits therefrom, our duty becomes clear. We have no duty to maintain this delusion of a
Messenger who never made mistakes. We have only the duty to raise up the truth, and to
expose error. Our duty, one and all, is to make sure that we bequeath to future generations, a
foundation more pure and perfect, than what the Messenger herself could deliver. Wherever the
actions of the Messenger depart from the truth which the Masters desire to promulgate in the
Teaching, that action must be extracted out of the whole treasure chest. It is not to be confused
with the jewels which surround it on every side.
I hope you see this. When the organization comes to
terms with this, and adopts the middle way as I have described it, showing forth a well-
balanced willingness to understand and accept the great contributions she made on the one
hand, but on the other, to identify her mistakes, and to fix them, her karmic load will become
less, and she will be more likely to step out of that condition of self-imposed mindlessness in
our lifetime. I hope the reader understands this.
Idolatry is the worst form of mindlessness. You can
see why this is so. In each case where the Messenger made a mistake, she is going to have to
carry a karmic load associated with it. If we can identify that mistake, and fix it, her karmic
accountability will be far less than it otherwise would be. Take Ape Mountain as an example.
Here, we are talking today about the mindlessness imposed on students over about a 30 year
period. And that has a certain karmic debt associated with that. She is carrying the karmic
load now. But if the problem is fixed now, that is all the karmic debt that will be associated
with that particular mistake. On the other hand, if we allow Ape Mountain to remain in the
chart now, and for decades to come, and perhaps even a millennia, think about the mountain of
karma that will pile up for her, over that stretch of time. If we fix this mistake now, we save
her from having to deal with that much larger mountain of karma. This is so easy to
understand. It makes so much sense to fix it now. But those who are gripped by this idolatry
which has them refusing to believe that the Messenger could have made such a mistake, I
would like you to consider what the result of that mindlessness will be. That idolatry, if it
prevails, will keep Ape Mountain right where it is, and this will actually have the effect of
heaping the larger mountain of karma upon the shoulders of the Messenger. And so, that is
really and truly a grotesquely mindless posture to take. And so, it is clear. It is crystal
clear. Idolatry really is the worst form of mindlessness. It is so blind and selfish as to prolong
the suffering of others, and this to a very great extent. And for what? To maintain the integrity
of a delusion, that somehow makes the soul feel safe in the present moment.
Her very condition, right now, living within a mind
that is void of all of her most precious hopes and dreams, speaks to the truth, that there is
problem here, that we must solve, before we can move forward as an organization.
The tests that she failed, we are required to pinpoint,
and then we are required to pass them. If we cannot identify the tests she failed, let alone
summon the will to pass them, how can the organization move forward? It is impossible.
Idolatry is rooted in rebellion, which in turn, is rooted
in hatred of God himself. Those who turn a blind eye to the problem we are discussing here,
refusing to accept the idea that the Messenger made this grotesque mistake, are expressing their
hatred for God, not their love for the Messenger. They are expressing their hatred for truth, not
their love for the Messenger. They are expressing their hatred for Christ, in the form of
illumination itself, not their love for the Messenger. For if they loved the Messenger, they
would be quick, and very quick indeed, to identify where she made mistakes, so that they could
be fixed as quickly as possible, setting her free from centuries of karmic accountability
associated with a mistake that would otherwise live on and on and on.
Here is the clincher. The mountain in the chart was an
artist's rendition of Mt. Shasta as I noted above. When the Messenger refused to take
seriously the problem associated with this ape face in the chart, and it was pointed out to her,
what was left for the Masters to do, to force the issue with her, than to ABANDON MT.
SHASTA ITSELF! Finally, here is a reason that no one can deny, to take that mountain off the
chart. The Brotherhood itself has removed the flame from that mountain. It is no longer a
focus of the
Brotherhood. I believe that they did that, for this precise reason. To give the members of this
organization, finally, a sign, if they would have the will to recognize it as such, that it is OK to
take that Ape Mountain off of the Chart of the Presence.
Vol. 31 No. 4 - Beloved Sanat Kumara - January 24, 1988
New Year's Retreat at the Royal Teton Ranch, IV
The Warning, Darkness May Come at Any
Hour and Any Day Ho! Let the Word of
the Lord be upon his own!
I make known to you this day, inasmuch as this is a branch
of the Great White Brotherhood sponsored by the level of my office with the Seven Holy
Kumaras, that in this hour there is the withdrawal of the Brotherhood of Mount Shasta from the retreat physical of Mount Shasta . This entire brotherhood, therefore, does withdraw and
does transfer their forcefield and focus both in[to] the Grand Teton and in[to] another area of
the Northern Rockies. Blessed hearts, this announcement is a sign unto you and let it be a sign
unto every heart and let it be known from within. I give you, therefore, this report that you
might accommodate and understand your position as the pillars in the temple of our God.
Therefore, deliberations at the Royal Teton Retreat continue, beloved, and we express gratitude
for the light released and the calls given.

This was announced by no less than Sanat Kumara
himself, who is the Guru of this planetary home. What a huge step this was. And so, what a
huge mistake the Messenger made, in ignoring this problem for so many years. No one can
argue for the retention of that mountain in the chart now. The Brotherhood itself has
abandoned it. Perhaps they were even burdened by the energies of the ape being projected at
them by the world wide student body, unconsciously of course, but nevertheless, an energy
transfer that would take place any time anyone put their attention on the ape face mountain in
the chart.
Shifting their focus from Mt. Shasta, to the Grand
Tetons, makes it pretty clear, what the shape of the mountain on the chart ought to look like.
Why not an artist's rendition of the Cathedral Group? That is the most intense focus of Light
of the Brotherhood in North America. This would be perfect for the Chart of the Presence.
While we are waiting for the leadership to make the
necessary changes in the Chart of the Presence, though I would counsel people not to hold your
breath in the regard, there would be more oxygen in a plastic bag I believe, I would like to
suggest an interim fix for everyone to implement immediately. This is for the health of your
own soul, and for the reinforcement of your path. It is a step to enhance the potential for real
victory in this life for every member of this organization.
In this regard, for Charts of the Divine Self that are
currently placed on our altars, as an interim fix, until new charts can be manufactured and
distributed, I would suggest that the student take a copy of The Chela and the Path to
the local copy shop, reproduce the cover illustration on a color copier, cut out the duplicate
illustration, and tape it over the image of Ape Mountain. This is what that color illustration
looks like:
I have this image from the Chela and the Path pasted
over Ape Mountain on the chart over my Altar, and my Altar area is absolutely an area of
tremendous victory every day. Please, don't hesitate to implement this temporary fix.
Here is what the temporary fix looks like on the
central chart on my altar. This is scanned from the full size chart.
I would just point out, that the mountain in this image,
looks very much like the mountain in the original chart. Why anyone decided that it needed to
be changed is beyond me. Perhaps this is where the will of the artist overpowers the
Messenger's own sense of right and wrong. Mt. Shasta? Well, that sounds good. Ok go ahead
and give me a Mt. Shasta. Setting her reservations aside. Certainly there had to be some
reservations associated with such a drastic departure from the shape of the mountain that Mark
Prophet originally approved for the original chart. Was the Messenger the architect of that
departure, or did she just go along with the strong desire of the artist to abandon the path set
down by her own twin flame? Could it be that she was finally a bit relieved to be free of the
disciplines associated with Mark Prophet? And this was an expression of that relief? This is
not the only place where she ok'd such a drastic departure. We will talk about another case,
which has ramifications just as serious, in a future article.
We also need to
implement a temporary fix for all wallet sized charts of the presence. The quickest and easiest
thing to do would be to paste a blue dot over the mountain. Before you pass another chart to
anyone, please make sure that you have covered over ape mountain with a blue dot. If anyone
asks you, you don't even need to talk about the ape face. All you need to say, is that the
Brotherhood withdrew from that retreat, and it is no longer a sponsored focus. That's fairly
simple. You can find a package of blue dots at the local office supply store. The ones I found
were packaged in a multi-color set. And this is an interesting story by the way. I had in mind
a person I wanted to give a chart of the presence to, but I had to hold off until I got my blue
dots. And it was quite a while before things worked out to where I could make it to the local
office supply store, which is a Staples, just north of us in a fairly new shopping center. I
walked into the store, not knowing the layout, and my feet carried me to an aisle where a store
clerk jumped in front of me and said, "Can I help you." I said, "I need blue dot labels." And he
pointed me over to the other side of the store, giving me directions that I only half understood.
But I walked over in that general direction and into an aisle where another salesperson was
standing, who jumped in front of me, and said, "Can I help you?". I said, "I need blue dot
labels." And he led me to the right aisle. I tell you this, because it is not my experience for
sales clerks to go out of their way to find out what I need. And so, the Masters had already
prepared the way, and I was into that store, and out of that store, and I got what I needed, in
record time. Here is what the package looks like.
Now, this is a particularly relevant statement made by the
Master who goes by the name of K-17. He is the head of the Cosmic Secret Service as many of
you might know.
Vol. 17 No. 11 - Beloved K-17 - March 17, 1974
Agents for the Cosmic Christ, Part I
I would like to say that when in embodiment, there came a
time on the Path when I came to the conclusion that I no longer cared what anyone thought of
what I said or did as long as I spoke the truth. And thus I have noticed in recent years that some
of you have become more bold. You have feared not to be called crackpot or "kook" or any
other name for the sake of the Light. And I say, that is a wise decision; for you never know
where you might be that you might extend the cup of knowledge of Hierarchy to one who has
been searching not for one, but for many embodiments. And so, precious hearts, I came to the
conclusion that mankind would speak ill of me, would gossip about me, would revile me
whether I was silent or whether I was outspoken. And thus I chose the path of outspokenness
when I was guided to speak. And sometimes I spoke when not guided, desiring rather to make a
mistake of extra effort than to have on my record a sin of omission.

Finally, we need to come to terms with the reasons why
this particular condition went on so long, without the Messenger Elizabeth Prophet, doing
anything about it. I hold Mark Prophet blameless here, because you see the Chart of the
Presence that was produced on his watch. It has a nice pointed mountain. No problems. The
new chart I believe was commissioned under the watch of Elizabeth Clare Prophet, some time
after the passing on of Mark Prophet.
One could say that Ape Mountain is the legacy that she
left to us. Of course this is true, but not in any negative kind of way. Not necessarily. What
she left to us, in this regard, was an opportunity, an opportunity that no one has taken
advantage of to this very day. Who has the courage to stand on that small piece of ground
called principle, and to do battle with the forces of confusion, foolishness, and idolatry, and
come out the victor? Perhaps there have been others who have seen this problem, and perhaps
they even spoke up about it. I know of one case where this is actually true. One person. But
that person did not defeat the forces of foolishness, of confusion, of idolatry. He was overcome
by them. He turned aside from the pole star of truth, he turned aside from the flame of
understanding that was pleading to be re-ignited right then and there within the fabric of his
own mind, and yes, he turned aside from what his own eyes reported to him, and he knelt down,
and worshiped the Ape Image, thinking, erroneously, that the Messenger had no problem with
it. And the Messenger said, so be it. This was no knight after all. Let another have a whack at
this dragon (of idolatry).
And so, here I am, taking a whack at this dragon. I
hope others will now join me, and that there will finally appear on the battlefield, a veritable
army of truth seekers, who will no longer stand for this desecration. After all, that is what it
is, a desecration of the pure and holy mountain. The Masters abandoned it. There is no reason
for us to hold onto it.

The Beatles Are On
the Altar of the Holy
Grail - LITERALLY
By Steven S. Showers, Editor
Check this out. 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, it is the sign of SATAN. That sign of
SATAN is right over the Chart of the Presence. More on that subject below.
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, and the rock slide
might just carry them with it.
Many people still wonder what was wrong with
Church Manager Rev. Linda Worobec belting out a Beatles tune, authored by the infamous
John Lennon, on the very Altar of the Holy Grail in King Arthur's Court. (See Program). These
two images tell the story. The first image is of Anton Lavey, the author of the Satanic Bible.
This image is taken from the back of the Satanic Bible. Look at his left hand. That is the hand
sign that signifies the worship of Satan. They call it the "Il Cornuto". Look at the right hand
of John Lennon in this detail taken from the back of the Yellow Submarine Album. That is the
same hand sign. See more examples of the use of the "Il Cornuto"
here.
Two things equal to the same thing, are always equal
to each other. This is the law. But this is the law that is being denied by Church Manager Rev.
Linda Worobec, and this church leadership, and hidden from the eyes of the membership.
Now, by saying this, am I saying that because
Satanism equals John Lennon, and John Lennon equals Linda Worobec, that Linda Worobec
equals Satanism? Yes. I am saying that this is true within the domain of her consciousness,
where she harbors a sympathy for John Lennon, so much of sympathy that she would share his
music with the community from the very Altar of the Holy Grail. And most people would
think, and rightfully so, that this is probably more than sympathy. That component of
sympathy, which borders on a very high respect, ties her into the vibration of all Satanists.
That's the Teaching. And her complete inability to overcome that pride that keeps her from
admitting a mistake, verifies the accuracy of these observations. She is tied into the monolith
of all Satanic Pride, and it will not budge. And therefore she will not budge. Her strength, in
standing her ground, in refusing to admit a mistake, it is derived from the dark side, from that
monolith of Satanic pride that connects the hearts of all rebels against God.
And so, through what avenue did the false hierarchy
move to destroy the unity of the Russian Congregation? They moved right through the
electronic belt of
Linda Worobec, and there was nothing to stop them, because this wide avenue of sympathy
with a devil worshiper, John Lennon, is stubbornly defended by her freewill.
It jars every fiber of common sense in me, as I try to
understand how students of the ascended masters would complacently sit back and allow a
person to serve in the office of Church Manager who has clearly demonstrated Satanic
sympathies. Because they sit back complacently demanding no accountability, the record on
the altar remains.
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 worshiping? 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? In their minds, something else has a
higher priority to them than all four of these things put together. And they are teaching the
membership of this organization, by their example, to honor that other thing, just as they honor
it. What is that other thing? What is it?
Hint: It is not the Bride of Christ. It is the _____ of
the ___ ____ .

The Principle of the Square
An Open Letter to the Presidents, Board of Directors
and the Council of Elders of the Summit Lighthouse
and Church Universal and Triumphant.
By Steven S. Showers, Editor
I would like to begin
this letter to the Presidents, to the members of the Board of Directors, and to the members of
the Council of Elders, with a reference to the spherical cluster of
shining diamonds, about 2 to 3 feet in diameter, which the Masters revealed to me
within the very fabric of my own awareness. Why did the Masters reveal that to me? Well, I
admit that I have in the past been prone to internalizing the doubts of others, and calling them
my own. So, in this important work, I was given an anchor point for my attention that would
help me transcend all of the waves of doubt that the church leadership in particular are sending
in my direction.
And it is clear to me as well, that the revelation of this
spherical cluster of shining diamonds, measuring 2 to 3 feet in diameter, was not just for my
benefit. It was for your benefit, and for the benefit of all those who have an interest in this issue
area. It was for the benefit of all those who have an interest in bringing resolution to an area in
which we have seen the divine treasure of Russian Unity looted by the hordes of darkness. We
must get that treasure back. And we can't move on until we do. Here is the scepter of authority,
given to me by the Masters, that I carry onto this battlefield, where I would encourage everyone
to join me in this great chase, as we go after these looters, to get back the treasure they stole
from us. A spherical cluster of shining diamonds, 2 to 3 feet in
diameter, within the very fabric of my own awareness. It is for the slaying of the
slimy creatures of doubt that hang upon the precious body of the soul, my soul, your soul, like a
veritable garment of leeches. Let the leeches of doubt be cast off, in order that the soul might
be able to evaluate the issue at hand much more seriously than they have heretofore been able
to do.
Now, it seems to me that there are many who have not
quite grasped the severe consequences associated with Rev. Linda
Worobec's betrayal of the Teaching itself in her July 4, 2003 performance of a piece of music
on the Central Altar authored by a group of individuals (the Beatles) who she clearly knows to
be among the darkest and most destructive enemies of the Great White
Brotherhood. And they are likewise not grasping the severe consequences
associated with her refusal to admit a mistake in this regard. And they are likewise not grasping
the link between that, and the severe consequences associated with the developing situation, in
which people are being pressured to show outward allegiance to this church leader, in lieu of
paying homage to their own conscience.
This is a very destructive situation we have developing
here, where the membership is being taught, by example, and by leadership decree, that
allegiance to a personality, is more important than allegiance to the truth.
Now, I would like to try to explain exactly why this
situation is fraught with so many destructive consequences, the dividing of the Russian
congregation being only the first sign. And make no mistake about that. The emergence and
growth of the Russian Congregation was one of the first fruits of this organization. Our decrees
over 30 years brought the dissolution of the Communist Structure in the old Soviet Union,
establishing an opening for freedom. Russian Lightbearers seized the opportunity to establish a
foothold for the Teaching of the Ascended Masters, as I noted before, amidst a political
landscape still strewn with the boulders of a historical and long established legacy of
totalitarian control. Those boulders still loom high above the people, ready to roll this way, or
that way, as the boulders themselves think proper. So, what has Rev. Linda Worobec done with
these precious first fruits? She has squashed that fruit under her heel. The structure of the fruit
has been crushed, and all of the vital juices have been squished out onto the pavement.
There is one fundamental principle, that when
understood clearly, will help each member of this organization see the extent of damage that
has been done, and the extent of damage that will inevitably follow if this problem is not
resolved immediately.
In this regard then, the principle that ought to be
understood, and which ought to be operative in all of our deliberations, at all times, and under
all circumstances, is the principle of the square. What is the principle of the square? The
principle of the square holds that all of our thoughts, our desires, and our actions must square
with the Teachings of the Ascended Masters. What does that mean?
When I use the term "square", I am NOT speaking
about a four-sided rectangle with equal sides. I am speaking about a measuring device that is
associated with the carpentry trade. The square is a very old tool used to ensure that when
structures are built upon a foundation, that they rise vertically, with no leaning, to the left, or
the right, so that when the great weight of additional responsibility is placed upon that
structure, that the force of gravity will not be able to bring it down. Let me explain how this
works.
When you build a house, you lay down a foundation. A
foundation is necessary to ensure that the structure will stay in place, and not be moved. This
foundation can be fairly shallow, and simple, or it will need to be very deep and complex,
depending upon the geology of a particular building site, depending upon the forces of nature
with which the finished structure must contend, and depending upon the overall mass of the
structure that will be built upon it.
Now, as we move through this discussion, we must
keep in mind that the physical foundation and the things we build upon it, those things that we
have just mentioned, have a parallel within the Teachings of the Ascended Masters. The
Teachings of the Ascended Masters provides us with the foundation upon which we will build
the multi-floored sky scraper of our own Divine Identity. When this organization has succeeded
in building many of these multi-floored sky scrapers, you will have a Golden Age City, as it
were. Because these structures will be so tall, and so vast, and will have to endure the greatest
hurricanes of opposition that the false hierarchy can throw against them, we can be sure, that
the Ascended Masters have foreseen the need for the strongest of foundations, and that they
have given us a foundation that is anchored in the immovable bedrock of absolute God-Reality.
A simple modern day residential home built on stable
ground uses only a concrete slab foundation reinforced and held together by an embedded
lattice work of various lengths of half inch steel bars. In this case, the foundation, i.e. the
concrete slab, is the first floor of the residence. All the walls of the house will be built directly
upon the foundation slab. When the walls are built, and raised up, and secured in place, the
builders must make sure that the walls are perfectly vertical. Why? A wall that is not vertical
will fall over. For example, a wall that is built at a 45 degree angle will clearly fall over. A wall
built with as little as a 5 degree lean will fall over. Perhaps a wall built with a one or two
degree lean will stand, depending on how securely it is fastened to the foundation. If the
foundation is solid, and there is solid connection between the wall and foundation, then the
foundation can compensate for the lean. But as you add weight to the top of a wall that is
slightly out of plumb as they say, that weight will magnify the problem and bring the wall
down sooner.
This is the more relevant when you understand that the
houses we are speaking about, in terms of the divine skyscrapers that the Masters desire for us
to build, must be able to withstand the greatest hurricanes of opposition that the false hierarchy
can throw at them. To the extent that the walls are not firmly attached to the foundation, and to
the extent that they are not exactly vertical, to that extent will the structure be less strong than
the design specifications require, and be vulnerable to toppling.
And so, the builders are very conscientious when it
comes to making sure that all walls are vertical. But how does one create a perfectly vertical
wall? The first step in this process is making sure that you have a level foundation. Second,
when the carpenters cut the studs for the walls, they make sure that the cross-cut is square to
the long dimension of the stud. The carpenters square is used here first, to make sure this is so.
If the cut is made exactly 90 degrees to the vertical length, then when several studs are nailed
to the base plate, they will rise vertically, and not lean to one side or the other, when that base
plate is secured to the foundation.
Assuming then, in a perfect world, that the foundation
is perfectly level, and all of the studs have been cut at a perfect 90 degree angle, then the angle
between a vertical wall, and the foundation will also be a perfect 90 degrees. And this again,
could be checked with a carpenters square. Does the square fit snugly, with no gaps, against
both the wall and the foundation? If it does, the wall is said to be square to the foundation, and
if it is square, the wall is vertical, and it will carry the designed load, without the worry of it
falling over under extreme outer pressures.
For the sake of real-world accuracy, as it were, I would
note that the walls of a house are typically too tall to make practical use of the carpenter's
square for ascertaining the final verticality of the wall. A carpenter's square that would be
useful in this regard, would have to be at least six feet long in both dimensions. Not only would
such a tool be too cumbersome, and too expensive, to be used by the average homebuilder, such
a large square would not be useful in tight spaces where you do not have the floor space to lay
the whole length of the square upon the floor. Another factor that makes a carpenter's square
unsuitable for ascertaining the final verticality of a wall is the fact that concrete foundation
slabs are rarely perfectly level. If the foundation slab is not level, something that is square to it,
will end up leaning some degrees off vertical. So, the tool of choice, to ascertain whether the
wall is vertical, after the wall itself is built, and raised up, is a carpenter's level, that has a little
glass tube with liquid in it, and a little air bubble. The builder will place the level up against the
wall, vertically, and secure the wall in place, only when they see that the level's bubble is
between the two little lines.
Notwithstanding this caveat, I am hoping that the
reader will still get the idea of what a carpenter's square is used for. And perhaps we have even
focused the use of the square more appropriately for our purposes as well. It is used in the first
stage of wall construction. Again, the wall studs (2 by 4's) are measured to length, and then the
carpenter's square is used to draw the 90 degree cross cut line, so that when the studs are nailed
to the base plate, and the wall is stood up, it will be close to vertical, with only minor
adjustments necessary. If the first cuts are not square to the vertical length of the wall studs,
there is no chance that the wall can stand vertically. Once all the walls are built, and their
verticality ascertained, only then does the building process proceed with the placement of the
roof, if it is only a one-story structure, or the addition of other floors, if it is a multi-story
structure.
I would also note that a smaller version of the larger
carpenter's square is an essential tool used to establish the essential 90 degree angles in many
aspects of furniture building, and cabinet making. Cabinets that stand straight up, and have
level shelves, owe these characteristics to the use of the common square.
Now, as noted above, the principle of the square, when
we apply it to the Path of Initiation, holds that all of our thoughts, our desires, and our actions
must square with the Teachings of the Ascended Masters. Why is that important? It is
important, because the principles that the Masters have communicated to us are intended to
serve as the basic structural units of the first floor of our Divine Identity. In this respect, every
soul that rises out of the ash heap of mortality, into the upper atmosphere of immortality,
symbolized by the Divine Skyscraper, will have a first floor that is firmly attached to the
foundation, and moreover, all the walls will be appropriately vertical, being perfectly square to
the foundation. And this is a very important point. Everybody's foundation, and first floor will
be largely identical. In this regard, the foundation, and the first floor, have a universal
geometry. The Master's have set forth this geometry in the Teaching. In this regard, we all must
have that secure foundation and divine structure that will be able to hold the greater weight of
subsequently added floors.
(Perhaps there are those who don't like this idea that
all of our foundations, and all of our first floors, must be generally identical. But they need to
get over that little burr in their saddle. Our very physical bodies provide a metaphor for the
universality of this divine foundation and structure. Take a look at yourself, and then look at
other people. We all have two legs don't we? We all have two feet don't we? We all have ten
toes don't we? All of which helps us to stand upon the earth in a vertical posture. Moreover, we
all have two arms, ten fingers, and all of the common organs. Everyone even has the same basic
brain. We are all nearly identical in our general appearance. As a general rule, none of us can
be "different" from another in this respect, even if we wanted to be.)
When we find that a particular belief structure, and
feeling structure, of a student on the path, does not square with the Teachings of the Ascended
Masters, we know that they are not building according to the divine blueprint that the Masters
have given us. There are two important things that we can conclude from this observation.
First, given the fact that all internal building is a
cooperative effort between the Masters and the free will of the soul, we must conclude, that
when any soul stops cooperating, no matter who they are, the building process comes to a stop.
The Master will not help a soul build the next floor, if they can see clearly that there is
something in the present floor that will cause the whole structure to collapse (when the weight
of the next floor is added). The building process must stop, until this soul can be persuaded to
return to the blueprint that the Masters have provided. This is an important point.
In the
original rebellion, the original Divine Skyscraper collapsed, because of disobedience to the law.
In the process of rebuilding that skyscraper, the soul must surrender each point of disobedience,
and substitute for it, a point of obedience. Now, we have noted before that the test of obedience
is on the 4 o'clock line of the Cosmic Clock. This is the Taurus line, it is labeled God-
Obedience. This is why the sign of Taurus is known as the sign of the builders. The pure and
holy energies of the Taurus Hierarchy, administered by that Ascended Master who is known as
God Obedience, fills the soul with a sense of the importance of building to the divine
blueprint. But, whether a person is born under the sign of Taurus or not, we all have a 4 o'clock
line, and we must therefore, all learn to be master builders on the 4 o'clock line. All of us,
without exception, must take and pass the tests of obedience to the divine blueprint on this line.
So, when we see a striking example of disobedience to
the law, we see a soul that has stopped cooperating with the building process. We see a work
site that has come to standstill as far as the work of building the skyscraper of the divine
identity. The Masters are not working with this soul to add additional layers of light to this
structure. For the Ascended Masters, building the skyscraper is not the immediate goal with
that particular soul. All of the efforts of the Masters in regards to this soul are directed at a
much more basic level. The Masters are all focused on getting this soul to understand the
importance of building to the divine blueprint. This soul must be persuaded to bend the knee
before the divine blueprint before any further building can take place. And we must understand,
that as long as the soul is rejecting the ministration of the Masters in this regard, rejecting the
requirement to bend the knee before the divine blueprint, that this soul is, in all truth,
rejecting wisdom, rejecting illumination, posturing itself within that vibratory
realm that the Masters describe as being anti-Christ, i.e. anti-illumination, anti-wisdom,
anti-understanding.
All of us, the entire community, needs to learn this
lesson, and to learn it well. You cannot bypass tests of obedience on the 4 o'clock line. When
those tests are presented, they must be passed. All building comes to a stop until the particular
test, which has been presented to the soul, is passed.
Now, when the construction on a particular building
site stops, there is another thing that is happening there, or more precisely not happening there.
This is the second point. The soul is no longer experiencing the building process itself. The
disobedient soul, is not receiving the inner experience of Divine Power that is associated with
the normal building process. The experience of Divine Power, tells the soul that new walls are
being added, and particular milestone revelations tell the soul that whole new floors have been
completed. The obedient builders know that they have a firm connection to the foundation,
when they experience the presence of Divine Power, each time a new layer of light is
added to the divine structure. When the student stops cooperating with the building process,
the Masters stop adding layers of light. Beyond that point, the disobedient soul is not aware of
any divine construction activity at all. In fact, in spiritual terms, the disobedient soul has
moved off the divine building site entirely, moved off the foundation itself, and is now building
its little house off site. Having lost its connection to the divine foundation that it once knew, it
now builds on a false foundation consisting of its own fear based desires, fear based ambitions,
and all of the upside-down thoughts associated with these.
And yes, all this can be true of people who hold
leadership positions in this church. When they refuse to admit mistakes, you know what
foundation they have neglected, and in turn what false foundation they are clinging to. It is
very simple. Their positions of power have become the foundation of their identities.
Anything that might challenge that foundation they push away. That is why they do not admit
mistakes. They live in terror of losing the very foundation of their identity when they are asked
to resign because of those mistakes.
In this case we are dealing with a very clear example
of a soul who has stopped cooperating with the building process. As noted, Rev. Linda Worobec has exhibited a striking departure from the divine
blueprint, in her July 4, 2003 performance of a piece of music on the Central Altar authored by
a group of individuals who she clearly knows to be some of the darkest and most destructive
enemies of the Great White Brotherhood. When confronted on this, she refuses to
bend the knee. In this regard, she refuses to recognize that she is out of alignment, and she
refuses to reorientate her feeling and thought processes in accordance with the divine
blueprint.
When we focus our minds on the Teachings set forth
on this subject, by the Ascended Masters themselves, we can see that this characterization is
correct. I would offer here, in approximate chronological order, three examples from the
Teaching to validate this point.
Now, I was not given the blessed opportunity to
personally meet or know Mark Prophet when he was in embodiment. And I do not personally
know anyone who knew Mark Prophet. But there are people who are still around who actually
knew, and worked with Mark Prophet. In the storm of controversy that gathered up after the
July, 4, 2003 event, one of these rare individuals who knew and worked with Mark Prophet,
made a comment concerning the performance of a piece of Beatle's music on the Central Altar
in King Arthur's Court, as follows:
"They actually said they played a Beatle's tune?! I don't believe that !!!!!! Mark would
NEVER allow a Beatles tune to be played. I don't care how they changed the beat or tempo.
[Mark Prophet] told me that the Beatles (beat Ei or EL for God) were the perversions of the 4
elements of fire, air, water, and earth and that they introduced the wave of darkness and the
perverted music that sank Atlantis."
That's a first hand account of what the original Messenger Mark Prophet had to say
about the Beatles. And here are two important statements made by the Masters which makes
it so clear, that what we are dealing with here, are the enemies of the Light.
Vol. 13 No. 8, Saint Germain, February 22, 1970,
INTERMEDIATE STUDIES IN ALCHEMY III,

"Therefore, the trends toward misqualification must be
challenged at the same time that they are being reckoned with as karmic factors by those who
are determined to override man's density and to bring into manifestation the long-awaited
kingdom. Have men failed in the past? Then the record of that failure is a magnet to draw
them down, and strong counteracting forces must be kindled. The power of heaven must be
reharnessed and men must turn from darkness toward the light.
There is, then, a purpose for spiritual alchemy. But
before I go into it enough to enable you to draw forth greater measures of cosmic energy and
to learn how to qualify this energy correctly, I must show the relevance of this study to the
present age.
The destructive energies which poured through the
Beatles and entered the subconscious minds of the youth,
popular though they were in the world of form, are gradually working their way to the surface,
revealing their true colors and Satanic origins. These unholy
emanations have drawn many young souls into the mistaken belief that the taking of drugs, the
practice of witchcraft, and illicit sex can give them freedom from all imposed limitations.
Instead, these indulgences have held them in bondage to the legions of darkness."

|

We must heed the Master's words. He says, the "trends
toward misqualification must be challenged ." Certainly, when we see a trend towards
misqualification in our own church, the Master does not have a separate set of rules for us,
which would inspire us to be silent, and to be spineless. If the performance of a Beatles tune
on the Altar of the Holy Grail is not a trend towards misqualification, what on earth could be?
And what does it mean to challenge such a trend? It means to stand up and reverse that trend.
It means to keep standing, until that trend is reversed, and to remain standing to make sure that
trend never pops its head of the depths of the pit again.

"Thus, there is a spiritual warfare engaged against the
souls of Life. And there is a physical warfare against the temples, the minds, the bodies, the
hearts with which the soul is integrated. Therefore, beloved ones, note well that the original
declaration of war against this very nation and the youth of the world occurred on a similar
occasion, December 31, 1959. On this occasion, there was the moving into position of certain
individuals incarnated among the youth for their betrayal through the upsetting of the mighty
rhythm of the flame of peace those groups known as the Beatles , those individuals who were also their counterparts in the
Rolling Stones, and all who followed after them. <1>
That very position astrologically in the stars of the
heavens was the turning point diametrically for the moment of the conception of individuality
in the Cosmic Christ, through the teachings of the Divine Mother, as they were brought forth in
that hour through the Three Wise Men who, under the leadership of El Morya, sponsored the
prophet of the decades, your own beloved Lanello, to give those teachings of the
Great White Brotherhood that would enable the youth of this nation and the world to bring forth
their own individuality in Christ.
But the false prophets appeared. And by the intense
sound and perverted rhythm of their energies, they involved decades now of youth in the
culture that comes out of the pit <2> the rock music, the drugs, and the ensuing rebellion that
has channeled forth the entire rebellion of the fallen ones who are seated comfortably in the
lower levels, the uttermost levels of the astral plane."
(Endnote) 1. On December 31, 1959, astrological configurations based on the
conceptual chart for the U.S. indicated a period of extremely stern testing, including a strong
potential for war and a challenge to individual identity. On this same date, the North
Vietnamese government under Ho Chi Minh adopted a Communist constitution and called for
the reunification of Vietnam, marking the beginning of active infiltration of the South by
North Vietnamese. This led to further U.S. commitment of troops in 1964 to aid the South in
their fight against Communism. In December 1959, the Beatles (then called the Quarrymen)
were playing in a small backstreet club in Liverpool, England; the Rolling Stones (Blues
Incorporated) made their debut in London in March 1962. In February 1964, the Beatles (John
Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr) conducted their first rock concert
tour of the U.S., making two landmark appearances on "The Ed Sullivan Show." The Rolling
Stones (Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, Charles Watts, Bill Wyman, Keith Richards, Mick Taylor,
Ron Wood), nicknamed "Satan's Jesters," followed with their own U.S. tour the same year.
The Beatles and the Stones ignited the counterculture revolution of the sixties with their
advocacy of drugs, sex, and social protest.

God Almighty, I hope the reader is getting this. This last
statement clearly shows that the Ascended Masters view the Beatles as the greatest enemies of
God that have ever had their way with the American people on American soil. The Beatles
came onto the world scene at the very point that the Brotherhood's Messenger stepped forth.
The false hierarchy positioned their most deadly instruments to defeat the efforts of the
Brotherhood in that moment. If you have any allegiance for the Master's at all, any loyalty to
them at all, you simply cannot stand back and allow a person to be our Church Manager who
can manifest such an egregious streak of rebellion against the Master's purposes. And
moreover, to indulge a collective leadership which just shrugs their shoulders in resignation.
We need to understand that Rev. Linda Worobec is
aware of this Teaching. When she chose to include a Beatle's song in the program for the July
4, 2003 concert in King Arthur's Court, she was aware of this Teaching. When she got on stage,
and those words came out of her mouth, she was aware of this Teaching. As she relished the
process of having hundreds of people absorb those words, precious students of the Masters, she
was aware of this Teaching. But she consciously chose to ignore this Teaching. But not only
that. You can be sure that the Masters sent many angels to her, to ask her not to do this. They
stood around her and said, "Please Linda, do not do this. We implore you. This will sow a
seed of corruption into the minds of our students." What did Linda do? How did Linda
respond? She put her hands over her ears, and proceeded down the course that is now part of the
history of this organization.
This is a very interesting point.
She knew that those words were authored by the greatest enemies of the Great White
Brotherhood. Yet, she enjoyed the process of performing those words on the Altar of the Holy
Grail. And she enjoyed the process of pouring those words into the ears, into the minds, and
into the hearts, of hundreds of Ascended Master students.
Linda Worobec's behavior in this regard is a
shocking in-your-face departure from the Teaching, and it leads to the
desensitizing of the membership's moral sensibilities, preparing them for the day when
they will be asked to swallow even more shocking departures that will come (and have come,
and passed).
Now, many people spoke up to protest this departure.
But the leadership said, in
the vernacular, "get a life". They wanted us to know that this departure was perfectly ok, that
the people who have the problem, were the people who were protesting. And we have on the
record, in the circulated correspondence on this issue, one person, who initially had great
problems with this, actually I believe she was the first person to speak up about this, but after
hearing the leadership's defense of it, she came back, and participated in ridiculing those who
stood their ground. That soul was desensitized (corrupted) very quickly. The fact that we have
not heard a more widespread outpouring of revulsion at the leadership's destruction of the
Master's work in Russia, could be traced to this process of desensitizing the moral sensibilities
of the membership. Please make note of the fact that the Masters have decried for decades, this
very same desensitizing process going on in the culture at large. With each new low, the people
become less able to appreciate the depths into which their culture and society are sinking. Now
we see it happening right within our own organization.
The foregoing pronouncements of the Masters, quoted
above, on the issue of the Beatles, must be taken as the architectural proclamations of God our
Father concerning the structure of the divine blueprint. What is that pronouncement? It is this,
that any amount of sympathy, held in the mind, and the feeling world, for the Beatles, does not
represent a component of the divine blueprint, but rather, it represents a component of darkness
designed by the false hierarchy, intended to bring an element of corruption to the divine
building process.
The use of this music, then, does not "square" with the
Teaching. This is clear. Now, when confronted with a point of disobedience to the law, we are
required to quickly self-correct, and never to self-justify. Rev. Linda Worobec has refused to
self-correct. What she has given us is only self-justification. When considering the Master's
admonishment, that those who know better, must do better, she has her hands over her ears
again. These after-the-fact behavior patterns do not "square" with the Teachings either. What
does that mean for her?
She is not just building walls that are just a few
degrees off the vertical. She is building walls upon her foundation that extend in the opposite
direction. They extend 180 degrees in the opposite direction. In other words, the structure she is
building is extending below the foundation, in other words, she is building upside
down in relationship to the Teaching. Every time she justifies her choices and actions in
regards to the July 4, 2003 event, she is adding another floor to this upside down structure.
When someone is building upside down, clearly, the Masters will not extend any assistance to
her in this process. The only assistance they will extend to her would be to help her realize the
folly associated with building in that direction.
If a soul remains impervious to reason, the only other
option that the Masters have is to stand back and wait for the structure to collapse. When she is
sitting in the rubble, she will then, hopefully, be more open to the idea that she has not been
wise in her refusal to adhere to the building patterns that the Masters have set before us, and
before her.
The July 4, 2003 event, and her subsequent refusal to
bend the knee before the law, exposes the fact that Linda Worobec is building a reverse
structure on the inside, while she builds the appearance of a right-side-up (Ascended Master
Congruent) structure on the outside. She desires for all of us to ignore the evidence of the
internal reverse structure, and look only to the outer appearance of a right-side-up structure.
But we have seen the folly of our own collective ignoring of the law in this regard. If we could
have come to grips with what happened on July 4, 2003, and taken the appropriate steps to
remove her from her leadership position then, it is very possible that history would have been
completely different. Clearly, the Masters would have greatly rewarded the entire organization
for such a righteous choice to defend the Truth and the Teaching over personality. Such a
choice would have allowed them to step in to hold the balance in the relationship between
leadership and the Moscow group. Moreover, her vortex of rebellion would not have been
present to draw the Montana Leadership Team into such an inflexible hardness of heart. Some
accommodation of the Russia situation would have been found that would have allowed Unity
to prevail.
But, here we are.
Church Manager Linda Worobec is playing the role of
serpent in our Garden of Eden. The Messenger taught us that the Garden of Eden story was an
allegory for the destruction of Maitreya's Mystery School on Lemuria. She taught us that the
serpent was a metaphor for a person of great sophistication who appeared very wise, and had
great authority in the eyes of the students. The word of God in that story, in regards to the
prohibition against eating from the tree of relative good and evil, was a metaphor for the
Teachings of the Ascended Masters. The Teachings in that day set forth a clear prohibition with
clear consequences, even as it does today. The serpent, the person with apparent authority, tells
the people that they do not have to cleave to the Teaching, that it is ok to depart from it a little
bit. One bite is ok. Surely you will not die if you take only one bite. But the parameters of the
test of obedience were the same in that day. When the test of obedience (on the 4 o'clock line)
was
not passed, the divine building process stopped, and the structure of the soul's life after that was
simply a gradual process of dissolution and disintegration (death).
Now, Rev. Linda Worobec is wrapped with many
layers of apparent authority. The golden robe she likes to wear the most is the one that says that
the Messenger trained her to do this, trained her to do that, basically placing a permanent stamp
of approval upon her behavior and actions for all time. Yes, that coat is very shiny and it
glitters, but with whose Light? And her outer demeanor, from what I hear, has completely
disarmed many. But out of that mouth of seeming authority comes not the sword of truth, but
the same old lie. Just a little bite from the tree of disobedience is ok. And the whole
organization actually took that little bitty bite. Everyone knew about it, word of it was spread
everywhere throughout the organization. After all, the leadership officially accepted it, justified
it, in writing no less. And so, the entire membership accepted her disobedience, and they
accepted the lie that there would be no consequences associated with either her disobedience, or
the organization's acceptance of it. But the law is the law, and the outworking of the law came
quickly. The great treasure of the Master's work in Russia was destroyed shortly thereafter, and
who was at the center of that act of destruction? That's right, Church Manager Linda Worobec.
Ok, the Masters said to us, you think Linda Worobec is
so wise? We will step back and let you see how wise she is. And what followed was an act of
destruction without equal in church history.
In one Keeper of the Flame lesson that I was reading
the other day, I came across this really interesting little poem, which I will reproduce in part
here:
|
As the Oracles of Delphi
In Golden Age of Greece
Upheld the Torch of Wisdom's Ray -
Brought only Light's release -
The Vestal Virgins, wholly pure,
Were Messengers of Truth -
Received, recorded and declared
the Sacred Word, forsooth -
From the Mighty Being, Vesta,
the Goddess of our Sun -
Athena, Champion of Truth
Too, an Ascended One;
For Delphi was a Focus where
The Great White Brotherhood
Sustained the Ray of Wisdom's Rod
For planet neighborhood.
For centuries the Holy Word
In Purity came forth
From Delphic Oracles in Greece
To raise the men of Earth.
(These records yet are guarded by
The Brotherhood of Crete
In the Etheric Halls of Truth -
Hilarion's Retreat.)
'Till once again, did mammon's wedge
Make inroads through a tool -
A Vestal Virgin, false of mien,
A leak for astral school.
Adulteration of the Truth
Throughout the Forcefield sped;
Inversion of the Wisdom Ray
Took precedence instead -
Which severed the connection with
The Brotherhood in White
And veiled the consciousness of Man
From Wisdom's Holy Light.
What pity 'tis that handed down
Through mortal consciousness
Is not Greek Truth original
But hoax preposterous
|
One of the most important lessons that the Ascended
Masters desire for us to learn, and learn well, is the fact that the perversion, and destruction of
Mystery Schools on earth, is not a rare event. It is the rule, rather than the exception. They
desire for us to know this, so that we will be prepared when we see the process of perversion
and dissolution occurring right in front of our faces, yet again. And what is that preparation
supposed to buy us? This prepared state of mind is supposed to buy us a clean escape from the
failures of the past. That is the Master's intent. This prepared state of mind is supposed to give
us the ability to grab victory right out of the very jaws of defeat. That is the Master's intent.
This prepared state of mind is supposed to buy us the great treasure of victory. That is the
Master's intent.
Their words were not intended to reside unheeded on
the printed page as so many pretty jewels in a box.
In the destruction of the Master's work in Russia, the
charred and shattered rubble of the greatest defeat our organization has yet suffered, lies at our
feet. And beyond, yes, look beyond, there to that gaping abyss of ignorance, blindness, and
disobedience, that beckons us forward, desiring to swallow us up whole.
Let us not rush forward into that abyss, please. Let us
stop here, and take the time to heed the Master's word, and reach out the hand of wisdom
therefrom, and grab our victory out of those gaping jaws of certain defeat.
And if we do that, and I hope we will, what can we
expect the future to hold? In other words, what will this victory look like?
Victory will look like the Light of Illumination,
residing in the minds of the members of this organization as understanding. When
Mark Prophet talked about the crystallization of the God Flame, that is one of things that he
was referring to. And out of that understanding, will proceed right action, illumined action. And
what will right action, and illumined action look like?
This is what illumined action will look like. Church
Manager Linda Worobec will be dismissed immediately from her position as the Manager of
Church Universal and Triumphant. In all the
years that she worked under the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet, she did not surrender that
streak of rebellion and disobedience, and we cannot afford any more on-the-job training for her
in that respect. The levers of power must be taken out of her hands now.
This is what illumined action will look like. The
Leadership will set the clock back to 11:00AM, August 29, 2003, and restore all things to
where they were before that infamous meeting in Moscow took place. And then the leadership
must work to resolve the differences they have with the former Moscow Board, with the idea
that killing the Goose that Laid the Golden Russian Egg is not an acceptable outcome. Some
accommodation must be reached.
This is what illumined action will look like. The
leadership will design a program for their own penance, and they will make this program
public, and they will give the membership week to week updates on the progress of that
program. Each member of the leadership who was pulled into the vortex of Linda Worobec's
rebellion, contributing to the justification of her disobedience, and contributing to the
destruction of the Master's work in Russia, has a heavy debt to pay, and they need to start that
payment process immediately. Any member of the leadership team that resists this penance
must be removed.
This is what illumined action will look like. At the
end of that penance program, the leadership will work to devise a system of checks and
balances, that will allow us to deal with audacious streaks of rebellion that show up in the
consciousness of our leaders, before those streaks of rebellion come even close to crystalizing
into church policy on any issue. Remember,
these streaks of rebellion in leadership are used by the false hierarchy to derail and to
ultimately train wreck the organization. When these streaks of rebellion show up, they must be
nipped in the bud without delay. We need a systematic and sane process to accomplish this.
Remember, that every life is like a broken record. You
put the record onto the phonograph turntable, swing the arm over the recording, place the
needle into the first groove, and it will play fine, up to the point where the big scratch is
located. When the phonograph needle comes to the scratch, it gets stuck in the rut, and that
little section starts to play over and over and over again. The rest of the record will never be
played until the scratch is removed. We have come to the place in the playing of the record of
Rev. Linda Worobec, where the deep scratch of rebellion is located. And she has again got
stuck in that rut. And this will happen again with other leaders as well. The membership of this
organization needs a plan and a program to deal with this.
As a fundamental principle in this regard, I would
propose that any person who reaches a position of leadership in this organization, must have, as
a prerequisite, an established momentum of passing tests on the 4 o'clock line of
God-Obedience. How do you test for the presence of that momentum of victory? It's easy. No
matter where a person may find himself, or herself, positioned in the leadership structure today,
they must be challenged openly on any point of disobedience to the law that they express in the
course of church business. Do they quickly recognize the mistake, or do they dig in their heels
and self--justify? If they quickly self-correct, and quickly agree to a program of penance, then
you have a person who has a momentum of passing tests on the 4 o'clock line. In that person,
you have a Taurus Builder, not an Anti-Taurus destroyer. Remember, a word to the wise is
sufficient. We want wisdom in our leadership. If a word to the wise is not sufficient, then you
can be sure that that particular individual does not have any actual wisdom, and we don't need
that person in our leadership structure. If they resist the process of bending the knee, they must
be asked to resign immediately. We gain far more over the long term by making sure that the
destroyers in our midst do not have access to the levers of power, than we might lose in the
short term, by the inconvenience of having a particular leadership position vacant for the time
it takes to appoint another person.
And finally, when it comes to the power to abort the
divine plans of other people, we need an insulating layer of justice, that will stand in between
the innocent, and the immediate expressions of disobedience and rebellion on the
part of top leadership individuals. The power to immediately remove the leaders of local
Teaching Centers, whether domestically, or in foreign lands, must be eliminated. We must
replace this unilateral power with an open public procedure that will allow the due process
rights of all effected individuals to be respected. The procedure itself, and the content thereof,
must be open to public scrutiny. This would be an actual crystallization of the Golden Rule into
institutional form. And that would be a good thing. What in the world is the Golden Age all
about, if the Golden Rule is not institutionalized within the very organization that is supposed
to bring in that Golden Age? We lose far more by allowing individuals to use our collective
power to wreak great injustices, than we would lose by any delay in the removal of individuals
from their posts.
It is sort of ironic that as I call for the immediate
dismissal and removal of Church Manager Linda Worobec from her post as Church Manager,
she will be the first person to think in her heart, "hey, what about due process rights for
me?"
If we do these things today, we will be taking
action that will help to guarantee the successful completion of the Master's plan for this
organization many years into the future.
I would conclude on this sad note. It has been said of
old, that evil triumphs when good men do nothing. So far the good men and women of Church
Universal and Triumphant have done nothing concerning the presence of this overt
disobedience and rebellion in their very midst, leaving the hand of evil armed still with the
sword of institutional power. Whom will it cut down next?

Kim and Lorraine
Michaels' Shangra-La
Mission - Storefront
for the Channeling of
Ascended Master
Imposters
By Steven S. Showers, Editor
I have been receiving mailings lately which distribute
the work of Kim and Lorraine Michaels as if these were messages from real ascended masters.
I want to assure everyone, that it is simply impossible for these to be the messages of real
ascended masters no matter how adeptly they can parrot the dictation style of real masters.
I can guarantee you, without a shadow of a doubt, that Kim and Lorraine Michaels are
NOT sponsored by the Brotherhood. They channel ascended master imposters. I ask everyone
to use your common sense in this matter, and of course, apply the Teaching already given.
Think about this. At the very time all hands are
needed on deck to save the central ship from the band of pirates (see note below) that have
taken it over, do you think that the Real Ascended Masters would produce such distractions?
Do you really think that at such a crucial hour, when all of their hopes and dreams for the
fulfillment of their plans for the Inner Retreat are on the line, that they would produce such
distractions? Do you really think, that at a time when unity is so important, that they would set
before us other messengers to dilute our sense of allegiance to the body of teaching already
given? It is impossible. All of this is impossible. There is too much on the table before us
now, to think that they would do such a self-defeating thing, and work against the fulfillment of
their own hopes and dreams in this manner.
What is needed, is Unity around their
plans, as those plans have been set before us in the body of the Teaching that we have. That
is the unity the Real Ascended Masters would foster at this time. Kim and Lorraine Michaels
are the work of the false hierarchy to further divide and distract the students, so that the critical
mass of concern, which is so important to achieve now, cannot be reached within the student
body, when it comes to saving the Summit Lighthouse, Church Universal and Triumphant, and
the Master's plans for the Inner Retreat.
I came across this paragraph in a dictation by El
Morya that holds the key to understanding why Kim and Lorraine Michaels are NOT sponsored
by the Brotherhood.
Vol. 31, No. 77 - Beloved El Morya, November 13, 1988
Thus I come to tell you, beloved, that unless you avail yourselves of that which I have
already given you and [that which other Ascended Masters] from the Darjeeling Council have
given you, and that which the Messengers have given --- unless that be put to use fruitfully,
abundantly, wisely and obediently, I will see, for my part, no new dispensation that I may offer
[my chelas].
I do not see any evidence at all that what the Masters
have given us, has been put to use "fruitfully, abundantly, wisely and obediently". My God, we
have a Church Manager no less, that tramples proudly and arrogantly upon one of the most
fundamental aspects of the Teaching. Given the state of the organization today, I think we can
see, in this, the evidence to the very contrary.
For a new messenger to be considered worthy of a new
dispensation, what would that messenger have to do as their first priority? That person would
lead the student body into a new appreciation for what has already been given, and provide the
keys to waiting minds, that would help everyone achieve a higher level of fruitful application,
again, of the teachings already given.
Do we see this in Kim and Lorraine Michaels?
Absolutely not. We see them producing new, distracting material, and the expression of
viewpoints that draw the students away from the body of the teaching already given.
Here is another key. What is one of the most
important and valuable things already given? It is the Heart of the Inner Retreat. Certainly, a
new messenger, if that messenger was genuine, would see the value of that, and his or her
actions would enhance every possibility that this great treasure would be exploited to the
maximum measure that the Masters originally intended in their original plans.
But what do we see Kim and Lorraine Michaels doing?
They are proclaiming, or rather the imposters they are channeling, are proclaiming that the
Summit Lighthouse, and Church Universal and Triumphant is no longer sponsored by the
Brotherhood. This proclamation by the Michaels divorces them personally from any
opportunity whatsoever of making use of that treasure. If the Michaels were true messengers,
they would not divorce themselves from that treasure. If they were true messengers they would
understand the value of that treasure, they would understand the plans the masters have for it,
and they would position themselves in such a way as to contribute to the fruition of those plans.
But they have done none of that. As the behest of the imposters they channel, they have
divorced themselves completely from it, and burned all bridges. The false hierarchy wants the
children of God to abandon that essential aspect of the divine plan, and so that word of
falsehood goes forth from the mouths of the Michaels.
The Inner Retreat, in many ways hold the key to
understanding who the false messengers are. The Masters tell us that they have had their eye
on that very land for millennia. Now that they have it secured, they are going to walk away
from
it? Impossible. Any messengers who trash this organization, burn their bridges to it, and draw
the children of God away from it, are abandoning the Master's plan for the Inner Retreat. This
act of abandonment is the sign of the false messenger.
Now, some might say, that in the current inability, or
even reluctance of the membership of this organization to apply the teachings already given,
that you have there the very evidence of why the Masters need to sponsor a new Messenger. It
does appear, that in many ways this organization is filled with un over abundance of ungrateful
people. But that argument overlooks the criteria that the Master set forth. He set forth
only one criteria. What has been given thus far must be used "fruitfully, abundantly, wisely
and obediently." If this criteria is not met, there will be no further dispensations. What the
Masters have given is the Messengers, the Organization they established, the Teaching, and the
Inner Retreat, and all the plans that go with that. The Master was speaking of all of this. All
that has been given, must be used "fruitfully, abundantly, wisely and obediently." If you see
the sign in anyone, of abandoning what has already been given, you can see that the Master will
not extend any additional Light to those individuals, no matter who they are.
Now, establishing a relationship with Kim and
Lorraine Michaels will definitely put the students path in jeopardy. The Master El Morya
presented us with a very important principle in this subject area. When a soul comes before
the feet of a psychic channeler, there is an exchange that takes place. The imposter harvests the
light of the soul, and the soul receives a portion of the imposter's electronic belt energy. This
is dangerous, carrying the consciousness of the soul into the twilight zone of the astral plane by
degrees. And of course, the Master El Morya said that the Law required him to sever his own
ties to any student who enters into such a figure eight flow with a channeler of ascended master
imposters. As long as a student is associated with Kim and Lorraine Michaels, their path is not
only on hold, but they are losing ground every day they maintain that tie. If the student has
such an association, it must be severed completely. So, please stay clear of Kim and Lorraine
Michaels. Use the Teaching that has already been given. The Masters assured us that it
represents the foundation for the age of Aquarius, and moreover, that what has been given thus
far, is sufficient to carry any sincere soul home.
Note: The reference to a band of pirates refers to instruments of the false hierarchy
operating on the astral plane who can operate through church leaders, pushing and pressing
their minds and emotions into taking foolish actions. One prime example of such
foolish actions which serve only the purpose of the false hierarchy was the destruction of the
Unity of the Russian Congregation. These pirates operate through astral portals that the church
leaders themselves establish through actual points of willful disobedience to the Teaching. The
Real Ascended Masters cannot touch those portals, because they are established by the freewill
of the individual. Each such portal, each such point of disobedience is a point of astral control,
through which the false hierarchy can operate. Through those portals of disobedience and
rebellion, the false hierarchy can pour suspicion, and fear, and thus, their feeling worlds are
filled with a sense of inordinate fear, and through the device of aggressive mental suggestion,
they can be pressed to take unwise actions out of that fear. This is the genesis of the current
crisis. The solution to this problem is the closing of those portals of astral control. To close
those portals of astral control, the members of the leadership must bend the knee before the
Teaching, on each point of disobedience and rebellion that they have thus far manifested. If
they refuse to bend the knee before the Teaching, they need to be replaced. Of course, the same
principle applies to Kim and Lorraine Michaels. This describes exactly where their
"dictations" come from.

America's New
National Strategy
for Total Victory
Recognize our Need
for God's Help, and Then
Systematically Seek it!
By Steven S. Showers, Editor
The current situation presents President
George W. Bush with an absolutely fantastic, monumental, and fundamentally historic
opportunity to advance the work of God our Father along
several fronts simultaneously. This is one of those key points in the history of
mankind on par with coming of Jesus Christ 2000 years ago. Of course, we are on
the cusp of the Aquarian Age, and one would expect such a door to open right
here, and right now. But we have to recognize that doorway, and walk through it.
Under the leadership of President George
W. Bush, the slide of the American culture into the abyss of moral decay could be
arrested right here, and turned around. The American culture could actually start
climbing upwards towards that Shining City on the Hill, rather than continuing its
apparently irresistible and apparently unstoppable downward slide away from it.
And as the people again start to climb that hill, and they come to occupy that
Shining City, America can become that Golden Age beacon for the rest of the
planet, which God our Father intended from the beginning, fulfilling thereby her
destiny divine.
This vision of victory will come to pass if
we the people, and our President, properly leverage the situation that we find
ourselves in. It is as simple as that.
We are in a very tough spot in Iraq.
There's no doubt about it. But that is the context for this monumentally fantastic
opportunity. But let there be no doubt about this. We are in Iraq for a noble
purpose. Restoring the blessings of freedom to God's Children, no matter the
culture, no matter the nation, is always a noble undertaking. But the forces of
darkness, of hatred, of tyranny, are inflicting increasingly excruciating casualties
upon American soldiers, and striking fear in the hearts of the American people.
And because of the pain, and the fear, the specter of defeat for yet another
American dream looms on the horizon. Americans dreamed of freedom for the
people of Vietnam, but that dream was defeated. And now the same monster of
despair looms before us again.
Let's be clear about this. Only the Power
of God, which is applied through the instrumentation of Angelic Legions can
defeat that monster of despair that looms so large now, and will only become larger.
America will not prevail in this great cause if the power of God is not invoked by
America collectively.
And who is so blind as to see not, that the
shadow of that monster has already engulfed the minds of millions of Americans?
And who will be so audacious as to deny that once it has taken up residence within
the soul, that this monstrous shadow will not let go, no, not of its own accord. A
great percentage of the American people have already lost all hope, and we are
only into the difficult part of this great work, less than one year. It took 12 years
and 50,000 dead in Vietnam before Americans surrendered to that monster of
despair. Here, we are into the battle less than a year, and lost only 700 soldiers, and
great swathes of the American public are ready to retreat.
Americans are weaker today, not stronger.
So many modalities of cultural decay have metastasized within the body politic. It is
like the Flag over fort Sumter, shot full of holes by the forces of darkness. How
long can it hold together?
The terrorists read our opinion polls with
glee, and they leap out of bed every morning with renewed hope, that if they can
kill a few more Americans that day, they can defeat the American Giant, and drive
it out of the Middle East for good.
If we do not grasp the hand of the God
now, the hand of God who sponsored this nation, now, they will succeed in
fomenting enough fear, in enough Americans, that the political consensus there is
now, to stay the course, will surely dissipate. And we will withdraw. No doubt
behind the banner of an illusory honor. But what honor is their in cowardice?
What honor is their in spinelessness? There is none. Our enemies know it. And
therefore our withdrawal will signal the end of America as a world super power,
because, it will telegraph a weakness beyond their wildest dreams, drawing
terrorists attacks upon the American homeland like a piece of red meat attracts ants.
How has it come to this?
All of the woes of America can be traced
to one fundamental mistake. The mistake we made is over 40 years old now, and it
dates from the day we turned our back upon God our Father in October 1962,
when the people allowed the Federal Courts to take the first step in removing
prayer from the public schools, and when, in the aftermath of that infamous
decision, the people could not summon the collective will to overturn it. It has
been all downhill from there.
When prayer was taken out of the
schools, the good injected into American society by billions of industrious Angels
each day, ceased. It was like telling the garbage collectors of New York City not to
come to work. The garbage has been stacking up on the streets day in, and day
out, ever since. We have become accustomed to walking around in it. The smell
does not offend anyone anymore.
And the garbage itself has given life to a
new order of stinky creatures, like unto the Michael Moores of this world.
Now, I will tell you, that there are many
signs that we are close to hitting bottom. The people are so confused now, as to
whom they owe their allegiance and their very lives, that they cannot find the will
to stop the slaughter of millions of Americans in the womb each year. They cannot
find the will to stop the deluge of pornography, and the saturation of our culture
with ever more degrading and base examples of depravity. They cannot find the
will to stop even the latest outrage against the laws of God, the marriage, if you can
believe it, of homosexuals. Every new low, requires God our Father to step further
away from us as a culture. What does he say? He says, I know them not. And
this allows the downward slide of the whole society to accelerate.
No, we have not hit bottom yet. The
bottom is yet to come. When the culture disintegrates, then you will know you
have hit bottom. When all of the institutions people have worked lo these last 200
years to build, are brought down, then you can be sure you have hit bottom. When
there is nothing left to hold these institutions together, then you know you have hit
bottom. When there is no divine hand to stay the forces of chaos that we are
unleashing in our very midst, then you know you have hit bottom. But by the time
you are sure that you have hit bottom, it will be too late to turn it around.
School prayer was a beloved institution.
It was dissolved under the acidic insensitivity of secularism. The womb of the
mother was a beloved institution. It was dissolved under the acidic insensitivity
of secularism. The innocence of childhood was a beloved institution. It was
dissolved under the acidic insensitivity of secularism. The privacy and sacredness
of sex within the boundaries of marriage, this was a beloved institution. It was
dissolved under the acidic insensitivity of secularism. The very relationship
between a man and woman was a beloved institution. It was dissolved under the
acidic insensitivity of secularism. And now marriage, the foundation of family life
since the very appearance of man on this planet, was a beloved institution. It too is
very close to being completely dissolved under the acidic insensitivity of
secularism.
Where is the Divine Hand that would hold
any of these institutions together? It has been withdrawn. When the divine hand is
withdrawn, and the most sacred institutions are disintegrating, you know that you
are very close to hitting the very bottom. It will not be long before the very
institutions that maintain even a semblance of peace, order, and civilization in our
lives, will begin to bend and collapse. And in this respect, it is no coincidence that
we see the rise of terrorism at this point, with the prospect of nuclear detonations in
major cities that have the ability to trigger economic convulsions that will bring
exactly the level of chaos which our institutions will no longer be able to check.
Look at the economic downturn produced when the terrorists took down just two
New York high rise towers. What would happen if nuclear device was detonated
in the main New York Financial district? The prospect of this is right now on the
horizon.
And so, we are very close to the bottom
right now.
Yet, in light of all of this, we are provided
with an opportunity of inestimable value, right here, and right now, to turn this all
around. To stop this slide, and to reverse it.
How do we do it?
President George W. Bush must take the
lead on this as Commander in Chief. He must explain to the American people the
dire situation we are in, a situation that we will not be able to prevail in, if we do
not summon the help of God as a nation. This of course has nothing to do with
restoring school prayer. This has everything to do with enlisting the people in a
great call to the very Throne of Heaven for divine assistance for a very practical
and immediate purpose. We need Divine Assistance to help our soldiers succeed in
the great task of bringing liberty to the Iraqi people. We know that President Bush
is committed to giving our troops everything they need to succeed. But one thing
the Defense Department can't give them, is the Divine Assistance that only the
American people can invoke for them.
We must prevail in Iraq. The survival of
our nation depends on it. But we face great obstacles. These obstacles are too
great for us to overcome alone. I know this to be true. We must seek the help of
God our Father, who sponsored this nation from the beginning, to help us prevail
in this noble cause. This is a very serious situation that will require all of us to
sacrifice. And this includes sacrificing those loud but petty objections to the idea of
school children praying once again, so that our soldiers will have a fighting chance
to succeed. And therefore, I am asking every citizen of this great nation to
shoulder a new responsibility in these troubled times, and that is to make the effort,
in every possible free moment, to ask our Common Heavenly Father, to help our
soldiers succeed in their mission of bringing liberty to the Iraqi people. That's all.
There is only One Heavenly Father. And he will listen to these righteous pleas
made by citizens of every faith. We are all in this together. We are all share this
common time of peril. We all share the hope of success for the victorious outcome
of the mission to which we have set the fighting men and women of this nation.
Please, make it a point to ask God our Father to help our troops. The demons of
darkness that inhabit the hearts of the terrorists will shudder at this moment, and
that is a good thing. Their day is done. God our Father will see to that, if only we
ask him to help us. That's all.
Our president needs to speak of this at
every opportunity. Could John Kerry ever bring himself to do that? Absolutely
not. A heart of darkness does not look to God for anything. Only the heart of
President George W. Bush has the appropriate posture. It needs to become a part
of the national life of this nation. And of course this will make international news,
because the forces of darkness will be absolutely livid at the audacity of this
president. And this serves another important purpose. This will help reassure the
Muslim peoples of this world, who are not quite sure where America stands when
it comes to our allegiance to God. As this becomes a fixture of our national life,
they will be comforted, feeling a new kinship with Americans, and this will bring
us more allies throughout the Muslim populations.
And as the American people respond, and
follow the lead of the president in this regard, a certain additional space will be
opened in the American mind for a more serious consideration of the Presidents
recommendation that we pass a Constitutional Amendment to outlaw marriage
between homosexuals. As the president gets more positive feedback on this issue
from the citizens of America, he will be able to take a more and more bold stand in
this area, and this will have again, a positive impact on the public opinion of the
Muslim populations of the world. The issue of homosexual marriage gives
America a black eye in the minds of the Muslim populations of the world. To see
that the American people are devoted to the law of God in this respect, and have
found the will to stand against this offense against heaven, will boost our public
image in all Muslim lands. All of this will help us get the cooperation we need to
defeat the terrorists wherever they are.
You see, that battle against terrorism will
become more easily winnable, because we will have brought to the equation two
additional factors that are absent now. First is the help of God himself. Second is
the increased help of the Muslim people because of America's stand for what is
right in the sight of God.
And it will come to pass, that with the
help of God, the situation will eventually stabilize in Iraq, and the Iraqi people will
have the freedom they deserve, and the people will marvel at the efficacy of the
approach taken by President George W. Bush. He will have helped the people to
realize, that they do have a friend in God their common Father. And because of
this, finally, and historically, perhaps sometime into his second term, President
Bush, having succeeded in shepherding through a constitutional amendment to
outlaw homosexual marriage, will have created an atmosphere in which the people
will consider a constitutional Amendment to overturn all the federal court decisions
that have taken prayer out of the public schools of America. And this amendment
will pass. And the children will again be able to start their school days with a
collective prayer, and because of this, the trash collections will begin again. The
stink of all that refuse which has built up over four decades will be cleared away
because of the billions of Angels who will leap into action as a result of the prayers
of the school children. And the minds f the people will become more clear as a
result, and understanding will return to their hearts, and they will finally feel
ashamed that they have allowed millions of Americans to be slaughtered in the
womb, and the movement will finally go forth then, and perhaps this will be long
after President George W. Bush has left office, to propose and to pass an
amendment to the Constitution that will guarantee the right to life of the unborn
child.
With this act of the American people
made official, and all abortion clinics finally shut down, God our Father, in his
infinite gratitude will release the bowers of heavenly treasures upon the American
people, and lo, the first Golden Age in recorded history will coalesce right here in
America, and America will lead all nations in the science of divine gratitude, and it
will come to pass, that the earth will shine so brightly, that the central sun of our
solar system will bow down in awe before what God and his people have
accomplished here on earth.
In the current conflict, we need to find a
path guaranteed to lead us through this thicket of ever increasing complexity, to
victory. God our Father will create that path for us. And so, I would encourage
our President to adopt a New National Strategy for Victory. And it is simply this.
This New National Strategy would recognize our Need for God's Help, and would
implement a Systematic Program to Seek that Help. And when we do that, the path
to victory will unfold before us day by day, to consternation of all of our enemies.
And so, President Bush, please take the
lead in encouraging the American people to pray for the safety of our troops in
Iraq, and for the success of their mission. Mr. Bush, please encourage the
American people to do this. We see engraved on our coins, the words, In God we
Trust. That's our national motto. What is it about God that we trust? We trust in
his promises. He said, "Ask, and ye shall receive." We need his help now more
than ever. But we need to ask for it. He doesn't give it, unless we ask for it.
Please lead the nation in asking for God's help in protecting our troops, and for his
help in fulfilling their noble mission. Please add this sober request to every public
speech and statement that you give. Every time the T.V. cameras are rolling, please
take the opportunity to encourage the American people to do this. They will
respond. But they need a leader. Leadership in this area is all important.

Sean Prophet Responds
to the August 2004, Naked
Chakra Man Article
|
[Editor's Note: The following statement was solicited from Sean Prophet, and is posted
here with his permission. The viewpoints expressed are his own. The Journal appreciates his
contribution to the debate, and will refrain, within the confines of this little box, from
expressing any editorial viewpoints of its own, one way or the other. See the commentary
below for a complete analysis of these statements.]
|
[Editor's Preface: However, a short Bio of Sean Prophet would be appropriate, so our
readers will understand who is speaking here. Sean Prophet is the first born son of Mark
Prophet, the founder of the Summit Lighthouse, and the Messenger of the Great White
Brotherhood. From Sean's first moments as a small baby, through his childhood, up to the age
of about ten, Sean stood (or was held) in the presence of this Messenger countless times, being
drenched with the tremendous light and heavenly power that flowed through this Messenger
from ascended realms. It is probably true, that no child on earth, since the time of Jesus, has
been drenched with so much Light from such an early age.
Sean Prophet is also the first born
son of Elizabeth Clare Prophet, the twin flame of Mark Prophet, who was called to the Office of
Messenger herself, who began to serve in that capacity, alongside Mark Prophet, from about
1964 forward. Again, from his first moments as a small baby, through the totality of his
childhood, and up through the age of 25, Sean was either held in the arms of this Messenger, or
held by someone else in the presence of this Messenger, or when he was able, stood in the
presence of this Messenger countless times, being drenched with the tremendous light and
heavenly power that flowed through this Messenger from ascended realms. Sean Prophet, after
coming of age, became a minister in this church, would often dispense communion wafers
during services, served on the Board of Directors, and composed and delivered several lectures
to the congregation, one immortalized in the published Pearls of Wisdom, dealing with the
dangers of Rock Music, and the other immortalized in a Keepers of the Flame Lesson
presenting a thorough and glowing history of Ascended Master activities. Sean Prophet, today,
at the age of 40, or there about, has become totally reabsorbed into the Rock Music culture,
and believes that during all of the years recounted above, that his mind was drenched in
falsehood, and the Ascended Masters are fiction. Let Sean have mercy on us, and resolve this
earth shaking paradox now, by waking up from what is no more than a very bad dream.]

October 21, 2004
Dear Steven,
With regard to your article, I support broad tolerance
of political, artistic, and sexual expression. I am not gay, but I support alternative lifestyles and
the people who live them. I would support gay marriage, except I believe that the entire
institution of marriage is corrupt and outdated. Other than for legal protections, it is not clear to
me why gays would want to espouse this outmoded institution. Neither human law nor
spirituality should have any bearing on the private behavior of consenting individuals with
members of either sex. Like religious belief, decisions about this private behavior must be
respected so long as consensuality is maintained.
I do not believe that straight men or women have any
reason to feel threatened by expressions of nudity or eroticism from members of the same sex.
(The concept of nudity as sin "reductio ad absurdum" puts us all on the road to wearing burqas).
The display of the human body cannot possibly be
immoral. For if we believe god created man in his image, then gazing at naked male or female
bodies can only be a meditation on god. It is man who has created the sense of shame and sin.

Sean Prophet

[Editor's Note: The following is posted per the request of Erin Prophet. The viewpoints
expressed are her own. The Journal appreciates her contribution to the debate, and will refrain,
within the confines of this little box, from expressing any editorial viewpoints of its own, one
way or the other. See the commentary below for a complete analysis of these statements.]
|
[Editor's Preface: However, a short Bio of Erin Prophet would be appropriate, so our
readers will understand who is speaking here. Erin Prophet is the second born child, and
daughter of Mark Prophet, the founder of the Summit Lighthouse, and the Messenger of the
Great White Brotherhood. From Erin's first moments as a small baby, through her childhood,
up to the age of about nine, Erin stood (or was held) in the presence of this Messenger countless
times, being drenched with the tremendous light and heavenly power that flowed through this
Messenger from ascended realms. It is probably true, that no child on earth, since the time of
Jesus, other than her brother Sean, has been drenched with so much Light from such an early
age. Erin Prophet is also the second born child, and daughter of Elizabeth Clare Prophet, the
twin flame of Mark Prophet, who was called to the Office of Messenger herself, who began to
serve in that capacity, alongside Mark Prophet, from about 1964 forward. Again, from her first
moments as a small baby, through the totality of her
childhood, and up through the age of 25, Erin was either held in the arms of this Messenger, or
held by someone else in the presence of
this Messenger, or when she was able, stood in the presence of this Messenger countless times,
being drenched with the tremendous light and heavenly power that flowed through this
Messenger from ascended realms. Erin Prophet, after coming of age, became a minister in
this church, would often dispense communion wafers during services, served on the Board of
Directors, and composed and delivered several lectures to the congregation, one immortalized
in the published Pearls of Wisdom, dealing with the art of Nicholas Roerich, co-authored, side
by side with her mother, the book "Karma and Reincarnation: The Missing Link", and as she
notes in the statement below, was in training to become the next Messenger. Erin resigned
from the Board of Directors in 1993, and left the Church and the Masters (as far as I know)
behind. Though I invite her to set me straight on that point if I have spoken in error. She now
has her hands full as a co-guardian of her mother, who has fallen into the grips of Alzheimer
Disease, and requires full time care. ]

October 25, 2004
Dear Steven,
Your article about the naked chakra man is way too
long to respond to in depth. It would require a complete statement of my beliefs and much
history that I can't go into at this point.
However, a few points need to be made and I hope you
will stand by your pledge to disseminate them on your website along with Sean's words.
As you know, I was in training to be a messenger and I
can emphatically state the following points as true:
First: Mother was fully conscious and aware at several
points in her life and career when she directed the use of Michelangelo's David statue as an
object of meditation, both with and without the chakra overlay. For you to claim that she was
somehow duped, that other people manipulated her into it, etc., is just silly.
Second: You try to imply that because Mother
meditated on this statue when she was pregnant with Sean, it may somehow have affected his
attitudes towards homosexuality and the "failure" of his mission. First of all, your argument is
logically impossible. Not only did Mother say that she had meditated on the statue while
pregnant with Sean, but she also encouraged people to use it during their meditations. See the
Family Designs for the Golden Age seminar (1974) where she recommended that expectant
parents hold a replica of the statue and run their fingers over it in order to transfer the perfect
form to the child. Are you somehow implying that all children born after such meditations are
somehow tainted?
Third: As a side point, Mother was already acting as a
messenger when she was pregnant with Sean, so you are mistaken on that point too, that her use
of the statue was somehow a mistake allowed in because she didn't yet have the "mantle."
Fourth: Mother often directed the use of a slide of the
statue as an object of meditation during stumps and conferences.
What this all comes down to is that symbols can mean
different things to different people. A case in point is the swastika, which is used as a sacred
symbol in Hindu and Buddhist art but was also taken by Hitler and used for a very different
purpose. Just because Michelangelo's David has been used as a symbol by the gay community
does not mean that it was not fully approved by Mother for use as an object of meditation and
that it cannot be used as a symbol of God in man, etc. In saying this, I am not comparing
homosexuals to Hitler or trying to make a judgment about their lifestyle. My comments about
them are solely within the context of people wanting to interpret my parents' work.
Fifth: Mother also approved the use of the
Michelangelo statue as chakraman at the time it was adopted.
What this all comes down to is that anyone can make
whatever he wants out of a symbol.
As far as your comments on Sean's and my paths, I
would just say that you are not in a position to judge whether anyone has "failed" in his or her
mission. You clearly don't understand what Sean was trying to accomplish with his Black Sun
journal, which was meant to encourage people to look to the roots of hypocrisy and other
dysfunctional behaviors. Carl Jung wrote extensively about these ideas in his work on the
shadow, something that my mother was interested in but unfortunately lost the capacity to
understand before she had the chance to study it. Sean's thoughts on these issues are too
complex to state here; perhaps people who want to understand Sean's point of view would be
better off reading his "What is Black Sun?" than the few excerpts you have posted. My own
thoughts are also very much more complicated but I will state for the record that I do not have
a homosexual relative that I am aware of but if I did, I would treat him or her with love and
respect, not presuming to judge.
Pax--
Erin

The Editor Responds
to the Comments of
Sean Prophet
By Steven S. Showers
I appreciate the contribution that Sean Prophet has
made to the debate over the Naked Chakra Man. His statement is published in full directly
above. I would like to respond paragraph by paragraph, and in some cases, sentence by
sentence.
Now, because his statement reflects a spirit of uniform
and seamless rebellion, and is nearly completely lacking in any creative detail or specifics,
there is not much of an opportunity here for an interesting dialogue unfortunately. Though I
will try to make up for that. While I think his statement does indeed reflect his current state of
mind, his response is meticulously fashioned like unto a press statement, so that if any of his
friends or business associates plug the name "Sean Prophet" into the Google Search Engine, and
this page comes up, they will find nothing here but a statement they will find to be
appropriately politically correct, and his standing, in those blankly staring eyes which do not
telegraph the presence of any light at all, will not be harmed in any way. It is sort of
self-serving in that respect.
Sean writes: "With regard to your article, I support
broad tolerance of political, artistic, and sexual expression."
See what I mean? These words could have been
spoken by the press secretary of Senator Barbara Boxer. Senator Ted Kennedy would have at
least been bombastic about it.
Sean continues: "I am not gay ... "
Ok. If you say so.
Sean continues: "I am not gay but I support
alternative lifestyles and the people who live them."
You support the death spiral these people call an
alternative life style. I suppose the phrase "alternative life style" is appropriate. What
alternative is there to life? The only alternative to life, is death. " I am not gay but I support
alternative lifestyles ..." I see this as a distinction without a difference. To promote the
bondage of others, makes you prey to the same degree of bondage. In other words, it is one
prison cell. You may not be sharing the same cot, but you are all behind the same cell door.
Sean writes: "I would support gay marriage ... "
You would support locking two individuals more
securely in a habit pattern that will lead to the death of their souls. That is a sad state of affairs
if you ask me.
Sean continues: " ... except I believe that the entire
institution of marriage is corrupt and outdated."
Here is a rather provocative statement, that goes
beyond even the politically correct viewpoint of the Hollywood elite. Very courageous in a
upside down sort of way. I see in this statement the ultimate desire to destroy civilization,
denying the opportunity for souls to incarnate, and where that opportunity still exists, to deny
them a stable growth environment. The idea that love between a man a
woman that is stable and mutually supportive, and which provides a nurturing environment for
the growth and evolution of all family members, has become "corrupt" in your mind, well I
would say to you Sean, that is not your mind. There is another mind thinking through yours.
Your soul is like the Princess Leia Organa sitting in the lap of Jabba the Hutt. The Masters
warned you that by setting the tuning dial of your soul to the frequency of the Rock Musicians,
you become a receiver for their destructive thoughts and feelings. I suppose you can say from
your own experience, that the Master's warnings were true and righteous all together.
Sean continues: "Other than for legal protections, it
is not clear to me why gays would want to espouse this outmoded institution."
Homosexuals passionately desire to drape around
themselves the appearance of legitimacy, respect, and honor, that the great majority of
American's associate with the institution of marriage. It is another way for them to elevate the
crude to a level of respect, and on the other hand, to blend into the social woodwork to avoid
being challenged for their self-destructive lifestyles. They did the same thing with the word
"gay". At one time being "gay" was a respectable institution. It meant innocently happy,
without a care in the world, associated I think with the natural outlook of most children, albeit
decades ago. They took that institution and draped it over themselves for one purpose. It is a
mask of deception, giving the false appearance that they possess a particular shiny virtue,
which their lifestyles are completely void of in all truth. Technically speaking, there is no
such thing as a "gay" homosexual. The soul of a homosexual is being eaten alive by an
infestation of guilt and shame which they will never be able to shake, unless they take the Hand
of God, and allow him to lead them out of their self-imposed prison cells. In their current state
of bondage, they are, of all people, the most viscerally unhappy. Unhappiness is in their very
bones.
Sean continues: "Neither human law nor spirituality
should have any bearing on the private behavior of consenting individuals with members of
either sex. Like religious belief, decisions about this private behavior must be respected so long
as consensuality is maintained."
No, Sean, you are mistaken here. We are our Brothers
Keeper. When you see a soul in the jaws of a shark, you move quickly to do everything you can
to set them free. We have that responsibility. Moreover, we have the responsibility to look
ahead, even if they cannot. The misqualification of the Light during a particular lifetime will
place them in a various precarious situation in the future. I know that they don't like to think
about the future. But the Masters have allowed us to look through their eyes, so we know that
there is a future. These soul's will face horrendous consequences for their misqualification of
the light, even if it is only the high probability that they will be assigned to the lowest levels of
the astral plane between embodiments, and that they will be forced to stay there for many
thousands of years before they are given another opportunity to embody. These lower domains
are ruled by the darkest demons, and the most cruel task masters. That is why they call it
"hell". In those regions, there is no mitigation or mercy manifest. The soul must face directly
the consequences of its rebellion. It is cruel to stand by and do nothing while these people are
headed in that obvious direction.
It is important to remember that every aspect of the
life that we enjoy today is extended to us by many hundreds of thousands of selfless servants
who extend the energy of their own heart flames to provide this platform for our redemption.
The price for continued access to their good will, is gratitude. And gratitude, if it is genuine,
will translate to a willingness to cooperate in God's purpose and plan. Where there is no
gratitude, there is no cooperation. Where there is no cooperation there is obstruction. Those
souls who take the pleasantries of this world for granted, taking callous advantage of the good
will and noble efforts of these selfless servants, abusing the opportunity they provide to us, will
find that they will not be given that opportunity again for a very very long time. And the (after-
life) regions within which they must sojourn, as they ponder the inner callousness which will
not allow them to manifest the quality of gratitude, will be regions in which the heart flames of
this selfless servants are not allowed to extend their mitigating influences.
We see around ourselves many things that allow
comfort to come to the soul over the course of our physical lives. Sunrises and sunsets come to
mind. The beauty of waterfalls. The majesty of the mountains. The fragrance of roses. These
are only a few of the innumerable examples of the mercy that God extends to us
through these selfless servants. But in the lower regions of the astral plane, there are no such
comforting influences. Existence there is torment. It is torment only because God our Father
will not allow more Light to be invested in providing comforts for which the soul has no
capacity to feel grateful, and having no capacity to feel grateful, no capacity therefore, for
cooperation with or even understanding of the divine plan. Homosexuals are clearly in the
category of the ungrateful and non-cooperating who are headed for those regions of great
distress. That is why it so important for us not to be confused by their own delusions and
assertions of normality, but to do everything we can to try to shake them awake.
Sean continues: I do not believe that straight men or
women have any reason to feel threatened by expressions of nudity or eroticism from members
of the same sex ...
Nudity and eroticism activate, in a very natural
manner, our sexual desire nature. When our sexual desire nature is activated Light is released
through the chakras, and flows into the object of our lust (or prurient interest). This light flow
is lawful between man and wife. In that situation the light flow is balanced, and we receive as
much as we extend. This energy exchange between husband and wife works to build stability in
the relationship, and that stability enhances the growth environment for the children.
When objects of lust are presented before the eye, but
outside of the husband-wife relationship, energy is released in the direction of the lust object,
but no positive energy stream is received in return. I believe there is a return current, this is the
law, but what is returned represents the dregs of the electronic belt of the lust object. For the
"luster" as opposed to the "lustee", this represents a net loss of Light, and has an unbalancing
effect upon the psychology. One of the most obvious factors of unbalance is the loss of Light
itself. The soul needs Light to illuminate the mind, so that the path ahead can be seen clearly
and walked safely. Without that Light, many stumbles and falls are added to the portfolio that
would not have otherwise been included. Another factor of unbalance is in the creation of
desires that can never be fulfilled. If a man looks at a
Playboy centerfold for example, desires are generated, and those desires will never be fulfilled.
That man will never hold that woman in his arms, and will never consummate that desire. The
same is true from the female standpoint. I remember hearing this from a very wise woman. It
is foolish to lust after something that you can never have. And that is the truth. These focal
points of desire, as they multiply produce a sense of enduring dissatisfaction in the lives of
both men and women, and this can have no other effect other than causing their own personal
relationships to slowly disintegrate.
Whether the viewer of the lust object is the same sex
as the lust object, or the opposite sex, these principles hold true. But I would note that if the
viewer of the lust object is the same sex as the lust object, additional disintegration factors are
inserted into the equation. The energy flows will have a much more intense vibration of
rebellion connected with them, a much more intense downward spiral, which will greatly
multiply all disintegration factors previously discussed. This is why 99 males out of 100 will
feel very uncomfortable looking at Michelangelo's David. The energy flows set up by such an
encounter take on a geometry which is the very opposite of God Harmony.
The longer a soul is subjected to these forces of anti-
harmony, the greater impact they will have on the very structure of the soul's outer expression.
This is why the native beauty of the woman, when it comes to long time Lesbians begins to
disintegrate, and they appear more and more male like. And the same is true for homosexual
men. Their native maleness slowly disintegrates, and they begin to appear, act, and sound,
more and more like women.
I believe, in this respect, that homosexual men, who
look, act, and sound like normal men, have not been homosexuals very long. Perhaps one or
two lifetimes. I would surmise that those homosexual men who are beginning to manifest a
pronounced effeminate quality have been homosexuals for much longer. The same principles
apply to women who have been pulled into the homosexual lifestyle.
And so, Sean, you can see, if you will allow your mind
to penetrate into the deeper regions where life is defined in terms of energy flows, that nudity
and eroticism produce disintegration factors in the fabric of society itself, causing it to tear
itself apart, and eventually collapse.
Sean continues: "(The concept of nudity as sin
'reductio ad absurdum' puts us all on the road to wearing burqas)."
Both men and woman can dress in a tasteful and
modest manner, that allows us to appreciate the beauty of God's children in a way that does not
activate our sexual desire natures. Bare skin is what activates our sexual desire natures. And it
is bare skin in certain areas. Keep those specific areas covered, and you can enjoy the rest
without any problem. I have noticed many times exactly where my attention goes when any
amount of cleavage for example is displayed by a female. Women display breast cleavage only
for one reason. They know that this will activate the sexual desire nature of any man that looks
in their direction. This is pure manipulation.
Compare and contrast this to a beautiful woman that
does not allow the bare skin of her breasts to be exposed in any manner. The attention of the
male takes in the full body of course, but the attention will rise to the face, and that is where the
greatest sense of inner beauty is communicated. Your eyes will rise to her eyes, and behind
those eyes is her MIND, where her soul resides. This vision of beauty will invoke a sense of
deep appreciation. That's right, deep appreciation. And this is what is supposed to happen. In
other words, you can allow the flame of your heart to expand, in terms of the flame of
appreciation, by looking at the face of a beautiful woman. And this is a very pleasing
experience. But compare that to the inner reaction of the male when the female exposes her
breasts. Your attention is locked into a completely different domain. Your sexual desire nature
has been activated, and that is the most powerful aspect of our physical natures. We simply
cannot rise out of that into the flame of appreciation, because there is business to attend to.
And so these females, by exposing their breasts, draw
our Light, they actually steal it, but at the most base level, and at the same time provide us with
an obstacle to entering into the flame of appreciation itself. Do this too often, and you will
create males who cannot rise into a genuine flame of appreciation, and there you have another
disintegration factor that will put heavy strains upon the husband and wife relationship.
Sean continues: "The display of the human body
cannot possibly be immoral."
I have just explained to you exactly why the display of
the nude physical form is contrary to the laws of God. The activation of the sexual desire
natures which the nude form produces, and the release of Light associated with that, is only
lawful within the husband/wife relationship. Outside of that relationship, viewing of the nude
physical form generates various unfulfillable and unbalanced energy phenomena, which in turn
become factors of disintegration within the social fabric.
And so, when you say "The display of the human
body cannot possibly be immoral." you are wrong again. What is immorality? On the first
level, it is human behavior that expresses rebellion against God's purpose and plan. On the
second level, it is behavior that produces a destructive impact, one that is easily quantifiable,
upon the existing fabric of God's purpose and plan.
Sean continues: "For if we believe god created man
in his image, then gazing at naked male or female bodies can only be a meditation on
god."
For all the reasons stated above you have again stated
a very substantial error. For a husband to gaze upon the naked body of his wife, this is lawful.
For a wife to gaze upon the naked body of her husband, this is lawful. To gaze upon the naked
body of other human beings outside the domain of holy matrimony, this is unlawful for the
reasons stated above. Now, in this respect, in regards to these unlawful activities, it is
impossible to mediate upon God while you are engaged in the very act of rebellion against his
law. I hope you can see why that will hold true in every instance. But even within the bonds of
holy matrimony, gazing upon the unclothed physical form is not technically a meditation upon
God either. Technically speaking, our bodies were not created in the image of God. Our soul's
were created in the image of God. Our consciousness, and our capacity to be aware, and to
participate in His creative scheme (far beyond the current capacity of the physical bodies we
now wear) this was created in the image of God, not our physical bodies. We reside in these
physical bodies only because we have fallen away from our original divine image. They were
designed only as temporary containers, lasting only the length of one lifetime in most cases.
And so it is said of these physical bodies, dust to dust.
Sean concludes: "It is man who has created the sense
of shame and sin."
Technically speaking again, I believe it is true to say,
that God our Father created this matrix of life, and I am speaking of this system of redemption
wherein souls reincarnate over many lifetimes, in the quest of the grail of holy freedom, and as
a part of that matrix, he created the capacity for man to feel shame. And the feeling of shame
was intended by God to be a catalyst for change.
Now, this system of redemption, and the matrix of life
associated with it, which allows man to experience this phenomena we call "shame", was the
result of man's rebellion against the plan and purpose of God. When man fell, the need for
redemption was born. And so God our Father created this system of redemption to meet that
need. If man had never fallen, he would never have the need to feel shame, because shame is
not a part of the divine life in the heavenly octaves. You see, if man chose to reside wholly
within the Divine Law, appreciating the wisdom of that Law, he would have nothing to feel
shame about. And within that domain of illumination, he would not be tempted to commit any
sin (any act of rebellion) for which he would later feel ashamed.
But here, in the physical octave, within this system of
redemption, we have those souls who have long ago adopted sin, or shall we say rebellion, as a
way of life, and therefore, there are many things for them to feel shame about, and many
opportunities as well for shame to fulfill its appointed purpose. All in all, shame is a good
thing
when it is derived from an honest appraisal of how far the soul has wandered away from the
treasury of divine reality.
God our Father would only give the very best to his
children. God our Father would only give the very best to his children. God our Father would
only give the very best to his children. Yet the fallen angels have convinced those children to
turn their backs on the very sunshine of divine abundance, in order to live a life of pain and
torment under their auspices (here in the footstool kingdom). What a grotesque folly it is to
think that God created the soul to sit mindlessly in some factory producing widgets hour after
hour, day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, decade after decade,
and even lifetime after lifetime. When any soul clearly comprehends the utter blackness that
pride alone has persuaded them to embrace, in place of a life of glory in the family of God,
there is certainly room for some shame there.
Here, I think we can see that shame might very well be
one of the most important expressions of the redeemable heart. The heart that can see the
goodness of God, and the blessedness of his purposes, and at the same time grasp the extent to
which a certain act has betrayed that Heavenly Father and his purposes, is a heart that will feel
some shame, which has a certain motivating power to bring the soul back into alignment with
reality.
Perhaps you are feeling a little bit of that yourself,
when you contemplate the magnitude of opportunity the Master's moved mountains to provide
for you, lavishing their hopes and dreams like unto a golden mantle upon your soul, which
some voice out of the darkness then persuaded you to turn your back on. I mean, what would
have been the path of less pain for you? I think the answer to that is obvious enough, given the
shattered remains of your family life. Yet you proudly desire to believe you made the right
choice. Well, wonders never cease.
But I can assure you, Sean, that it is lawful for you to
take hope in the story of the prodigal son. I have a feeling that Jesus gave that parable to the
people, some 2000 years ago, just for you. I mean, who in the world could it apply to, if not to
you? So, come on home, into the embrace of many welcoming arms, and let's see if you can
pick up the golden thread of your own special mission within your Father's vineyard once
again.

The Editor Responds
to the Comments of
Erin Lynn Prophet
By Steven S. Showers
I appreciate the contribution that Erin Prophet has
made to the debate over the Naked Chakra Man. Her statement is published in full directly
above. She has given us some very specific information about the Messenger's total
culpability in the promulgation of this image to the student body at large. Because her
statements present a point of view which adds additional justification for the promulgation of
this image, I find that it is necessary to respond paragraph by paragraph, and in some cases,
sentence by sentence.
Erin writes: "Your article about the naked chakra
man is way too long to respond to in depth. It would require a complete statement of my beliefs
and much history that I can't go into at this point."
I am surprised at you, Erin, referring to things
that are too long in a context like this. But let me say this, about that. No greater compliment
can you give a writer, than to say that an article is so deeply penetrating that it inspires the
reader to consider setting forth a full statement of their own beliefs. Thank you. I look forward
to the day when you will respond in full.
Erin continues: "However, a few points need to be
made and I hope you will stand by your pledge to disseminate them on your website along with
Sean's words."
I will make an approving note here, regarding your
belief that it is very important to keep our pledges. Yes indeed. When we make pledges to El
Morya for example, and we have kept them, even in the face of the greatest opposition, it really
speaks to the level of honor, that we have invoked from God, and that we have allowed to reside
in our own character. Against the greatest opposition, I have kept my pledge. Here is your
statement, actually above is your statement, and Sean's too, published in full.
Erin continues: "As you know, I was in training to be
a messenger and I can emphatically state the following points as true:"
Excuse me for saying so Erin, but this is like saying "I
was in training to be an astronaut, although I dropped out of the program before my spaceship
lifted off, but nevertheless, let me tell you about the surface of the moon. Or maybe about the
gas clouds of Jupiter. Or even about the icy badlands of Neptune." Notwithstanding this
interesting wrinkle in your presentation, according to your wishes, we will give you that wink,
and listen respectfully to what you have to say.
Erin continues: "First: Mother was fully conscious
and aware at several points in her life and career when she directed the use of Michelangelo's
David statue as an object of meditation, both with and without the chakra overlay. For you to
claim that she was somehow duped, that other people manipulated her into it, etc., is just
silly."
I believe you missed the nuanced dimension of that
aspect of the article. You see, I was hoping that it was somebody else's fault, and my theories
went in that direction first. Now we have first hand testimony that Elizabeth Clare Prophet was
100% responsible, and accountable, for the use of the Michelangelo David statue in all
instances.
Erin continues: "Second: You try to imply that
because Mother meditated on this statue when she was pregnant with Sean, it may somehow
have affected his attitudes towards homosexuality and the 'failure' of his mission. First of all,
your argument is logically impossible."
Ok, I am listening, and I am waiting for you to tell me
why this is logically impossible. But you don't. For you to argue this point persuasively, you
must counter the principles I set forth in support of my thesis. In my article I set forth the law
regarding the flow of energy. The first law that I applied holds that energy flows in the
direction of your attention. The second law I applied holds that a figure eight flow of energy is
set up between the student and the teacher. In this case, the "teacher" is Michelangelo's David.
Applying these two laws, I am concluding that while meditating on this statue, energy is
flowing into orbit around it, and returning, and this applies to the thousands of homosexuals
who have their attention on that statue, and all ascended master students who have their
attention focused on that statue. As far as the ascended master students are concerned, it is my
contention that the rebellion of the homosexual movement returns to the student, on the return
current. That would mean that the rebellion of the homosexual movement would have flowed
into the forcefield of Elizabeth Clare Prophet. In as much as it was the clear and conscious
intent of Elizabeth Clare Prophet to transfer the fruit of her meditation to Sean, then it is
reasonable to conclude that these geometries of rebellion coalesced around Sean in his most
formative years. In the few statements that we have on the record in regards to Sean's
relationship to his mother, I see the expression of a deep resentment. This could very well be
the source of that resentment. This is a logically coherent application of the law. And I will
note that nothing you say in your entire statement addresses these fundamental points.
Erin continues: "Not only did Mother say that she
had meditated on the statue while pregnant with Sean, but she also encouraged people to use it
during their meditations."
You have stated here that Mother was encouraging
others to enter into a figure eight flow with this Statue of David. The error she had made in
terms of her own meditation, she is now encouraging others to adopt.
Erin continues: "See the Family Designs for the
Golden Age seminar (1974) where she recommended that expectant parents hold a replica of
the statue and run their fingers over it in order to transfer the perfect form to the child."
Here you are expanding on this theme. Mother has
now institutionalized this error in an album that people will listen to for generations to come,
encouraging them to make the same mistake that she made.
Erin continues: "Are you somehow implying that all
children born after such meditations are somehow tainted?"
I am not "somehow" implying this. I believe I stated
my conclusion in that regard rather explicitly. Yes, indeed. Every mother who does this, ties
her consciousness into the rebellion of the homosexual movement, and the Godward evolution
of that child in the womb will be compromised.
The only thing that will protect them against
the negative impact of the Messenger's advice in this area, is their native obedience to the laws
of modesty which I discussed in depth in my September 2004 article "Bare Breasts in the Everlasting
Gospel?"
Gazing upon the Michelangelo Statue of David, breaks
the laws of modesty. Most people sense that, and they will not adopt this practice, even though
Mother encouraged it. Moreover, there is a general theme that runs through the entire body of
Ascended Master Teaching, and it is that the appearance of the physical body is of no
importance, when it comes to the spiritual evolution of the soul. There is a disconnect here,
between the Messenger's belief in the importance of this perfect body, and the Master's
Teaching that the perfection of the physical body is of no importance. The obedient ones will
register the Master's teaching, and ignore Mother's misguided beliefs in this area.
Of course, our physical bodies need to be healthy. We
need to eat correctly, get plenty of good exercise, and take care of our physical vehicles in
every possible way. But the particular shape of the physical body has no bearing on the
capacity of the soul to reach for God, or not reach for God. In fact, the more obsessed a person
is with the appearance of their physical body, the less likely they have what it takes to reach for
God.
Part of the reason that Mother was drawn into this so
thoroughly, may well be because of the unique form of pride that is associated with a human
mother. The human mother will see the child as an offshoot of her own ego. She will want that
child to be perfect, so her own self-conception of perfection will not be challenged. The human
mother wants the child to be perfect in every way, so that when she shows the baby off to other
mothers, the only thing she will receive is approval. This pride is vain, it is shallow, and it is
blind. But what can you do? It is what it is. For a female student who has successfully bound
the dweller of pride, this may be less of an issue. But at that time, Elizabeth Clare Prophet was
only a beginner on the path when it comes to the issue of dweller binding.
Now, on a related issue, I remember during Summit
University (1983), during a particular lecture, where Mother stated that Marilyn Monroe was
some kind of a highly evolved soul. And that it was a tragedy that her life ended so soon. This
really illustrates the presence of a blind spot in the Messenger, and this is the more so when she
knew, and we all knew that this individual tempted a sitting president into a state of adultery
jeopardizing the stability of the entire nation. Marilyn Monroe was a rebel to the core, who
based her life on the breaking of the laws of modesty. She was the first person to pose nude for
Playboy Magazine, helping to launch one of the greatest and most successful vehicles of
darkness on the planet. I am theorizing here that Marilyn Monroe was a teenage idol of
Mother's, and she brought that idol into the Teachings with her, no different than a young girl's
idolatry of Brittney Spears today. Marilyn Monroe obviously enjoyed the fact that men gawked
at her everywhere she went. And many women, I believe, adopt that desire, to likewise have
men gawk at them everywhere they go. Many young girls lived that fantasy vicariously
through Marylin Monroe as they live that fantasy through Brittney Spears, and others like her,
for example Madonna, today. And so, Mother carried this momentum of teenage idolatry with
her into the teachings, unaware that it represented a state of consciousness completely out of
alignment with the law of modesty, and subsequently, the Light that surrounded her all about,
made that point of darkness, look like virtue to her. In other words, she could not divide the
real from the unreal on this point.
Erin continues: "Third: As a side point, Mother was
already acting as a messenger when she was pregnant with Sean, so you are mistaken on that
point too, that her use of the statue was somehow a mistake allowed in because she didn't yet
have the mantle."
The same principle applies here. Mother had a life
outside the Teachings up to about 1961 I believe. She had been fully absorbed into the popular
culture, and she even went to college and got herself a degree where she probably took some
classes in Western Art. My point is the same. She adopted her respect for Michelangelo's
David before she came into the Teachings. And the Light she found herself amidst, tended to
validate that part of her previous life, in the same way that it appeared to validate her idolatry
of Marilyn Monroe.
Her idolatry of Marilyn Monroe is an important point
to consider in this. Marilyn Monroe was a rebel against the laws of modesty. For Mother to
have an idol, who embodies rebellion, speaks to the presence of rebellion in herself. In this
case, it is a rebellion against the laws of modesty which existed in her own electronic belt.
And that rebellion was expressed in her adoption of the Michelangelo David statue, which also
breaks the laws of modesty. In other words, she respected the way in which both Marilyn
Monroe, and Michelangelo's David broke the laws of modesty. She respected that. This was a
good thing to her. That was a point of upside-down morality that she carried forward from her
immersion in the popular culture, and probably from previous lifetimes.
Obviously, no human being is perfect. And the
Masters cannot wait until someone is perfect for them to be called to their mission. The
Masters will work around our weaknesses, and our pre-existing streaks of rebellion as much as
possible. But with the Master's sponsorship comes a great responsibility to be the more
meticulous in dividing the real from the unreal within our own psychology. Mother failed to
divide the real from the unreal on this point, and her failure here because of the
membership's idolatry of her, wanting her to be perfect, and therefore thinking that she is
perfect, not able to accept the idea that she had flaws, not able to accept the idea that she could
act and behave out of those flaws is twisted into a virtue that lives on in the minds of
the membership.
Don't be confused on this point. 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 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.
Erin continues: "Fourth: Mother often directed the
use of a slide of the statue as an object of meditation during stumps and
conferences."
Again, you are just telling us more about how the
Messenger was spreading her own respect for the breaking of the laws of modesty among the
student body. I am thinking that we can see here perhaps the genesis of why some people in
this community thought it was ok to photograph children in the nude and display those photos
on a public website.
Erin continues: "What this all comes down to is that
symbols can mean different things to different people. A case in point is the swastika, which is
used as a sacred symbol in Hindu and Buddhist art but was also taken by Hitler and used for a
very different purpose."
As your mind reaches for an appropriate and readily
accessible argument to make the case that the symbol of Michelangelo's David does not mean
anything in particular, that it can mean anything that the viewer wants it to mean, it is no
coincidence, that the one thing that is nearest at hand, and this is in terms of vibration, is the
swastika, which symbolizes naked aggression and the extermination of God's children.
The common denominator which these two
apparently dissimilar symbols have in common, is rebellion against the laws of God. On the
one hand, you have in Michelangelo's David a focal point of rebellion that operates at inner
levels, inserting factors of disintegration into the psychology which tears the fabric of society
apart slowly and by imperceptible increments, causing the falling away, and the ultimate death
of far more souls than Hitler ever exterminated on the outer. And in this way it the more
insidious. On the other hand, Hitler's rebellion, which the swastika symbolizes, brought the
destruction of life to the very surface, where everyone could see it more clearly.
Now, in regards to the apriori status of sacredness
which the swastika supposedly enjoyed prior to its adoption by Hitler, I remember your own
father, Mark Prophet saying, that not everything from the East that glitters, is gold. The
swastika is a case in point.
The swastika was a sick symbol to begin with. Hitler
adopted it because it already embodied a certain focus of darkness. Look at how jagged it is. It
is not, by any stretch of the imagination, an harmonious symbol. It does not vibrate with any
amount of natural beauty or symmetry. It is perpetually out of balance. It looks more like a
spider than anything else.
And so, what we have here are fallen angels who have
ensconced themselves in a particular spiritual tradition, in this case Buddhism and Hinduism,
foisting symbols on the Children of God which hamper and obstruct their Godward progress.
That is no surprise. And these symbols live on century after century, robbing the people of
those traditions of their opportunity to ascend, century after century. And this is no surprise
either. In a different place and time, here we have another fallen angel, in Hitler, pick it up,
and adopt it for his own purposes, and that should be proof enough. The symbol had no divine
content at all, but was the perfect focus for the mindless obedience of the masses to a false idol
that would lead them on a rampage of murder and destruction the likes of which the earth had
never known before.
The use of the swastika in Hindu and Buddhist art is a
fringe phenomena only. Only the rebellious enjoy it. Those who have a sense of true beauty
push it away. And they did so long before Hitler ever came onto the world scene.
Erin continues: "Just because Michelangelo's David
has been used as a symbol by the gay community does not mean that it was not fully approved
by Mother for use as an object of meditation ... "
My fondest hope, which you allude to here again, that
Mother was not actually responsible for promoting the use of Michelangelo's David, has been
set aside by your previous statements above. We now both stipulate to the truth, that Mother
fully endorsed the use of this symbol. There is no question about this any longer.
Erin continues: "Just because Michelangelo's David
has been used as a symbol by the gay community does not mean ... that it cannot be used as a
symbol of God in man, etc."
No, this is not correct. Michelangelo's David is a
symbol of rebellion against the laws of modesty. Meditate upon that statue, and your soul is
programmed to begin respecting that quality of rebellion. Learn to respect that quality of
rebellion, and you will learn to respect other qualities of rebellion. All rebellion is outside the
domain of God-Reality. If the soul is vibrating at the level of rebellion, then God, as the purity
of the sacred fire, as the pure updraft of the very energies of victory and freedom, these cannot
manifest within the domain of the soul's consciousness. In that vibration of rebellion, what
will manifest within the domain of the soul's consciousness are the various and sundry
energies of anti-God which are delineated as the perversions of the 12 lines of the Cosmic
Clock. We are talking about the differences between an upward spiral, and a downward spiral.
Mediating on the statue of Michelangelo's David, initiates a downward spiral.
Erin continues: "In saying this, I am not comparing
homosexuals to Hitler or trying to make a judgment about their lifestyle. My comments about
them are solely within the context of people wanting to interpret my parents' work."
Yes, at some level you have actually realized what you
have done in pulling the swastika and Hitler out of your toolbox of arguments in an attempt to
help us understand why homosexuals love Michelangelo's David, and why the rest of us
shouldn't worry about that. But, when you push a particular button on a vending machine, you
shouldn't be surprised that what comes out of the chute matches the little picture under the
button. You can't escape the fundamental truth that they exist within a region of vibrational
proximity. That's why they came to mind so readily. But on the other hand, let's make sure
that the members of the homosexual community are not offended by what you are saying. And
look at the reason you have given them to set aside their hurt feelings, to overlook the real
offense they feel having the truth thrust into their faces. This is really going to bring them a
lot of comfort and peace. "My comments about them are solely within the context of
people wanting to interpret my parents' work." That's the only sentence you've written in
your entire response that makes no sense at all. Talk about a twinkie, sweet and empty. Did
you ever notice how close the word "sense" and "sentence" are in appearance?
Now, thinking that I have some explaining to do, the
twinkie, which is loosely connected to
my vending machine metaphor, you will probably have to reread the last paragraph to get what
I mean, is the planet's universal symbol of junk food. It is sweet, but it is empty of all
nutritional value. If that was the only thing you ever ate, you would die. And so, I am using it
here to make the point that sympathy is sweet, but all logic set forth in the vibration of
sympathy is empty of all truth and principle. There is nothing there for the mind to hold onto.
Take a look. What you said can not be understood. It is therefore empty of meaning, but
supposedly soothing (sweet) to the sensibilities of the homosexuals. But that hope is also
empty, because you left your reference to Hitler and his swastika standing. Now, this is
interesting too. When I first wrote that word down there, I used the spelling "twinky". I went
into the dictionary, and I could not find it in there. I then went to Google and typed it in there
to see what came up. 80% of the hits were from homosexual websites. The word "Twinky" is
also the title of a movie released in 1969, about an adult male pornographer that falls in love
with a 16 year old. The fundamental harmonics of the sweet and empty , have their resonant
manifestations in every dimension of the physical plane.
Erin continues: "Fifth: Mother also approved the use
of the Michelangelo statue as chakraman at the time it was adopted."
Thank you for verifying this. The theme of 100%
culpability (for this particular error) is made stronger still.
Erin continues: "What this all comes down to is that
anyone can make whatever he wants out of a symbol."
No, this is not correct. A symbol is what a symbol is,
no matter what people think a symbol is. That is the truth. Michelangelo broke the laws of
modesty when he fashioned his Statue of David. That is a truth that cannot be gainsaid. Those
who long to look at that statue, are those who respect Michelangelo's rebellion in this regard.
Homosexuals like that statue for that reason, and so does each and every person who feels good
about looking at it. They all have that in common. They are all very comfortable and
approving of the fact that this great artist rebelled against the Laws of God. And of course they
will call that rebellion virtue, but isn't that the way of the rebels and their rebellion from the
beginning? I think so. They will then ridicule us for standing in opposition to their new
definition of virtue. And then as this upside down definition of virtue becomes tradition, the
people become trapped in the very rut of that rebellion by the all too familiar chains of social
pressure.
Along these lines, on a recent edition of "Special
Report with Brit Hume", the talking head panel at the end there, were telling us why Attorney
General John Ashcroft resigned. And in the course of the discussion they talked about his
effort, at some point at the beginning of his term, to put appropriate coverings on various
statues at the Justice Department which depicted any amount of nudity. Clearly, here was a
man, in John Ashcroft, who was in tune with God's law, and it was very natural for him,
regardless of the ridicule he received, to be obedient to that law. But all the members of the
panel, even though they are fairly sane people in most other respects, chuckled with that
distinct vibration of ridicule, at John Ashcroft's efforts to be obedient in this regard.
Now, until we have been stripped of our pride, to be
laughed at, is one of the worst things that can happen to any of us. No, we don't like it. And
when possible, we will avoid it, even like the plague. In other words, we will go out of our way
to make sure that we don't give people any reason to laugh at us. And so if a statue is erected
in our local town square, and we see that it needs to be covered in certain strategic locations,
we will not step forth with the fig leaf or whatever other covering might be appropriate. No, we
don't like to be laughed at. And that is how the tradition of rebellion creeps into our culture,
and becomes established there, and accepted, so that no thought of challenging it will enter into
the mind of any citizen from then on. All that is required for evil to triumph, is for good men
to do nothing.
And that is exactly what has happened in our own town
square, the town square of the Summit Lighthouse, the town square of Church Universal and
Triumphant, with the erection of the Naked Chakra Man. Here we see how effective is that
mechanism of peer pressure, to keep souls in line with a conventional wisdom that has
wandered well away from the straight and narrow, yes in support of the very vibration and
manifestation of rebellion. This manifestation of rebellion now has a position of honor in our
community, just as does in the homosexual community. That should make everyone feel really
good.
Erin continues: "As far as your comments on Sean's
and my paths, I would just say that you are not in a position to judge whether anyone has
"failed" in his or her mission. "
We are all admonished to judge righteous judgment.
That is our duty before the truth. Rather than taking issue with my lack of standing in this
regard, it would be better if you would point out the deficiencies, if you see any, in my
judgments. I have set forth some very easy to understand principles. For example, when NASA
spends decades, thousands and thousands of man-hours, and hundreds of millions of dollars
training an astronaut, and that astronaut walks off the launch pad at the very last minute, and
decides to go do something else, well, all the officials of NASA would be correct and righteous
in their judgment, that that astronaut did not fulfill his or her mission.
Common sense itself is in the position, the righteous
position, to form conclusions, and to arrive at certain judgments concerning the obvious.
And tell me what chance that astronaut will have
convincing anyone to spend that kind of time and resources on them in the future? All the
investors take a loss. A bitter loss. And woe unto that one who has given them that bitter
lesson, for they will remember. It is far better for that one to return to the launch pad now, and
to continue with the mission, while the training is still applicable.
And of course it is true, that it is absolutely ludicrous
to believe, that the Master El Morya who sponsored both you, and your brother, for this
mission, did not have the highest hopes for the completion of that mission. Like he throws
money down the drain just for the fun of it. No, Erin, this is the truth. Before you were
allowed to embody in the family of the Messenger, the Master El Morya was as certain as he
could be, that you had the capacity to fulfill your mission, and that you would do just that.
Much of his certainty in this respect was composed of your own pledges and vows and
assertions of trustworthiness. At that point you must have had some sort of a track record to
back up those assertions. This track record had to be the source of your own desire for further
victory. In other words, you knew what victory meant, and you desired to manifest more of it.
And this track record had to be, at least in some measure, the source of the Master's own faith
in your ability to fulfill your promises, your vows, your pledge, to that end. You were
passionate at the time indeed, and he knew the passion for victory was genuine.
Many souls desired to have those slots. But you were
chosen. Consider the scene. Out of the long line of likely candidates, he tapped Sean on the
shoulder, and asked him to step forward. Out of the long line of likely candidates, he tapped
you on the shoulder, and asked you to step forward. And into both of your hands, he placed the
scroll of his trust, in the form of navigational chart, which carried an energy dispensation, that
was sufficient to carry the project forward to complete success.
Erin continues: "You clearly don't understand what
Sean was trying to accomplish with his Black Sun journal, which was meant to encourage
people to look to the roots of hypocrisy and other dysfunctional behaviors. Carl Jung wrote
extensively about these ideas in his work on the shadow, something that my mother was
interested in but unfortunately lost the capacity to understand before she had the chance to
study it. Sean's thoughts on these issues are too complex to state here; perhaps people who want
to understand Sean's point of view would be better off reading his "What is Black Sun?" than
the few excerpts you have posted."
Of course, it makes no sense at all, at least to me, that
anyone who is in state of rebellion against God's law, could help anyone understand the
"roots of hypocrisy and other dysfunctional behaviors." That is about the most absurd
assertion that I have heard in a long time. It is written, physician heal thyself. Find the root of
hypocrisy in your own garage, and then you can help others find it in theirs. And this is
especially precious in light of the fact that it is a given, that the root of hypocrisy, is in the state
of rebellion against God, and in the strata layers of the not-self that clings to that rebellion and
continues thereby to push God, and life itself away, in the most mindless manner. The soul's
reunion with God is what erases all hypocrisy. And the Ascended Masters provide a Path of
Initiation to that end. And here we have Sean, turning his back on that Path, turning his back on
God again, and he is going to encourage others to look to the roots of hypocrisy?
Now, I did not include all of those examples from the
Black Sun Journal in the Naked Chakra Man article, with the intent of helping anyone to
understand what Sean was trying to do with the Black Sun Journal itself. That was not my
intent. I included those examples for a very narrow purpose, and that was to show that a cause
and effect relationship existed between the act of his mother impressing the geometry of
rebellion upon his soul as a little child, and the level of rebellion that he had actually sunk too
in his later life. It was important to have examples to illustrate the degree of rebellion into
which he had fallen. Moreover, given the link of Michelangelo's Statue of David to the
homosexual movement, this cause and effect relationship was all the more evident, in as much
as there were examples in the Black Sun Journal which shows that Sean was exhibiting a very
pronounced sympathy with the homosexual lifestyle. These examples speak for themselves,
illustrating that cause and effect relationship, regardless of whether anyone understands, or
doesn't understand, Sean's overall purpose or agenda in publishing the Black Sun Journal.
However, I do know this. Sean made a pledge and a
vow to serve the Ascended Master cause prior to entering into this embodiment. If he had not
made that pledge and that vow, he would not have been given that opportunity. And so, given
where he is today, are we to conclude that he made those pledges, and those vows, under false
pretenses? Is that possible? Was it possible that Sean was in the grips of hypocrisy itself at
that time? Was he feigning to be something that he was not, when he made those promises? I
don't really think that is possible. When the vow was made, it must have been sincere. If the
Masters did not genuinely believe that the promise was sincere, they would not have accepted
it. They would not have built so many of their hopes and dreams upon the pledges Sean gave to
them at that time.
And so, given Sean's original level of sincerity, and
given the fact that he has totally forgotten about that sincerity, it must be true, then, that Sean
is feigning to be something now, that he is not. How about that. He is pretending to be nobody,
when in fact he is somebody. He is pretending to not know the Ascended Masters when in fact
they are the best friends he could ever have. I see that Sean's interest in hypocrisy has some
roots in genuine reality.
But perhaps, just as importantly, given Sean's original
level of sincerity, and given the fact that he has totally forgotten about that sincerity, it must
be true, then, that Sean carries forward from previous lifetimes a more than ordinary
momentum of being sidetracked into the arms of the false hierarchy.
Perhaps he is a uniquely qualified soul, in terms of his
skills and talents in serving the cause of light in higher realms, at least in the past, and because
of this, the false hierarchy has made it a project of sidetracking him lifetime after lifetime.
Perhaps all the things the Masters said about his potential are actually true, and the false
hierarchy is terrorized by the idea that he would actually be able to fulfill his mission during
any single embodiment. So they invest enormous resources of darkness to try to trip him up.
And the Masters then invest enormous resources in helping him outwit the opposition. And
then the opposition invests even more resources in tripping him up. And then the Masters
invest enormous resources in helping him outwit the opposition. And so forth, lifetime after
lifetime. I am just speculating.
Even if Sean is only a karmic child, all of these
observations apply. In other words, let's say that Elizabeth Clare Prophet had a great debt to
pay to Sean, that was repayable only by giving him the most profound opportunity for service.
This would mean that she robbed him of an opportunity for service in a previous embodiment,
and that she had to repay that debt. Let's say she had become the unwitting tool whom the false
hierarchy used to trip Sean up in the past, and to cause a mission to end in failure. Let's say
that
this was the case. Sean would have been looking for repayment of that debt. Sean would have
wanted the grand opportunity for service that his future mother would extend to him. And
when given that opportunity, he would have desired to make the most of it. After all, what
good is a repaid debt, if one takes the cash into one's hand, and then flushes it down the toilet?
No. That was never his desire. Under this scenario, all of the above observations apply. The
opportunity for service would be given again, and everyone involved would be sincerely
looking for a totally victorious outcome.
Now, given the undeniable backdrop of stupendous
opportunity, and seeing Sean where he is today, I believe it is fair to say that Sean is developing
a serious weakness when it comes to being sidetracked. The Masters can place him right at the
banquet table, he doesn't even have to find the banquet hall, or the banquet table, or his own
chair at the table. He is born and raised right on that very chair, at the table, in the hall. And
when it comes time to reach for the chalice cup, which is right in front of him, the forces of
darkness can pull his chain, and he will get out of his seat, march out of the hall, like a good
little robot, and go do their bidding for the rest of his life. That is fairly amazing. History
will record it.
What we see now, in Sean, is a soul who gave a vow to
serve the Ascended Master cause. And we see him turning his back on that cause. We see him
doing things that go against the Ascended Master cause, like promoting the idea that a vow
made to the Ascended Masters means nothing. That is a very destructive message by the way.
We see him promoting Rock Music. We see him promoting sympathy with the homosexual
lifestyle. In this we see him promoting modalities of soul enslavement that the Masters have
repeatedly warned will lead to the death of the soul. This knight was knocked clean off his
horse and onto the ground, and there he sits with his head spinning round and round. And
before he regains his wits, he was trampled by hordes of demons into a doormat. Where were
the legions of Archangel Michael at that crucial time? Is it possible that Sean left off giving
his daily calls to Archangel Michael? Was his mistake that simple, that fundamental?
Whatever. His consciousness and understanding is now very thin in that regard. I am speaking
about the doormat. And so, whatever he is doing, he is doing at the bequest of the false
hierarchy. He is not operating in the domain of free will any longer, but has become like a leaf
that the demons can blow in this direction, or that direction, as their whims dictate.
Yes Sean, stay pinned to your little editing machine
while the whole world goes to hell.
Sean Prophet, where is your spine? That's what we all
want to know. Get up and start fighting back! There is still time to win.
Regarding the mind of Carl Jung, wasn't this like unto
a muddy cup, or perhaps only a thimble, when compared to the brilliant oceans of wisdom that
came to us from the hearts of the Ascended Masters? Why trade the mind of Carl Jung for the
mind of the Master El Morya for example? Perhaps it is as simple as the fact that in the
Mississippi meandering of the mind of Carl Jung, you are guaranteed to see nothing that will
remind you of your own mission? Isn't that true? He is your best friend Erin, why did you
leave him? He stands yet upon the fortress walls, but you are not there.
Erin continues: "My own thoughts are also very much
more complicated but I will state for the record that I do not have a homosexual relative that I
am aware of but if I did, I would treat him or her with love and respect, not presuming to
judge."
Whether the soul trapped in the homosexual lifestyle
is a relative or not, I am sure of this. It is not love that will stand by and just let them slide
down the mountain to their certain deaths. The illuminated mind understands the danger that a
state of rebellion poses to the very survival of the soul. That illuminated mind will form the
proper conclusions regarding what words or actions are necessary to save a particular soul from
a destructive end. And then those words will be spoken, and those actions will be taken. This
is called love in action.

The
Expansion
Equation
The Master El Morya
Tests our Trueness
to Him
By Steven S. Showers, Editor
As you can see from the two main feature
articles on this page, one dealing with the corruption of the lighthouse, and the other dealing
with the presence of the ape face in the chart of the presence, that we have yet two (2) more
earthshaking exposes on the entry of the forces of corruption into the church leadership. These
things must be exposed so they can be eliminated. They must be eliminated so that the
organization can move forward into the next phase of expansion. Remember the words of our
Beloved El Morya. He said he was ready to inaugurate
a new phase of expansion that would bring millions into the Teaching. I think I remember that
correctly. But he also said that he must be sure that we are true to him. And that means true to
the Will of God, loyal to the Divine Law, and absolutely loyal to the Truth over all other
competing considerations.
Here, this is what he said in a dictation given in April
of 1995, "Since I am about to sponsor millions of souls for this
activity and this Path, I must be certain that you who are here and who form the foundations of
this Community throughout the earth are true to me. You must be true to the souls who are
entering in." (Vol. 38 No. 26)
Isn't that interesting? He said, "I must be
certain ..." What does that mean? When the Master is certain about something,
that means that he doesn't have a single doubt in his mind about it. Wouldn't that be amazing
to have the Master El Morya look upon us, and in his mind he has no doubt about our trueness,
we have shown it so many times to him, that he no longer wonders at all. He no longer factors
in any percentage of uncertainty, when it comes to us passing our tests of trueness. Whenever a
test of trueness comes upon us, he is certain that we will prove true, yet again.
Unfortunately, there are many events and situations
that have occurred within the collective life of our community, that makes it impossible for this
Master to have such a level of certainty.
How can Morya be certain of our trueness,
when WE indulge a Church Manager so mired in rebellion, that she will plan a performance in
King Arthur's Court which includes a Beatles' song, and who will perform that Beatles' song
herself, on the very Altar of the Holy Grail? How can Morya be certain of our
trueness, when WE indulge a Church Manager who will not admit to any mistake in this
regard, and to whom the spirit of repentance appears alien? How can Morya be certain
of our trueness, when we indulge a leadership generally, who to a person, has no spine to stand
up and say that was wrong and demand accountability? How can Morya be certain of
our trueness, when the membership has allowed that event to be swept under the rug? How can
Morya be certain of our trueness, when WE indulge a leadership team who will shut
off El Morya's own keynote, at the beginning of the first, and last, meeting between that
leadership and the Moscow Study Group? Remember, and don't ever forget this. Their first
act was to shut OFF El Morya's keynote. I pray for the day when the implications of that
finally sink in. How can Morya be certain of our trueness, when WE have a leadership
team who will destroy the unity of the Russian congregation, and the membership allows that to
swept under the rug as well? How can Morya be certain of our trueness, when WE
have a leadership team who will destroy a thriving ascended master publishing operation, again
in Russia, and the membership allows that to be swept under the rug as well? How can Morya
be certain of our trueness, when the organization has a resolution process to resolve
disputes and allegations, but the church leadership refuses to apply it in high profile situations?
In other words, in any situation that might expose their own corruption? How can Morya be
certain of our trueness, when the membership at large will stand by and allow the
leadership to trample all over due process principles? How can Morya be certain of
our trueness, when a prominent piece of art used for meditation purposes, and has been printed
on the front cover of many books now, turns out to be an icon of the homosexual movement,
and 99.999% of the membership turns a blind eye, refusing to raise a peep in way of objection?
I could go on, and I will go on. You can be certain of that.
How is it that the membership of this organization has
become so spineless? That's what I'd like to know.
You can be certain of this. All of these points, and
more, were tests of trueness to the heart of the Master El Morya, and we have failed them, each
one.
In that statement, made by the Master El Morya, you
have the clearest equation for expansion. Look for all situations which test our trueness to the
Master El Morya. Look for those situations! Be vigilant and watchful. And when they come
upon us, we must use that precious opportunity to prove our trueness, not our spinelessness!
Every single situation that has come before us, wherein our trueness has been tested, and we
failed that test of trueness, and I have listed several here, what? Do we just forget? Is that
supposed to solve the problem of El Morya's uncertainty? Make no mistake about it, that is
the problem. All of these failed tests, makes the Master very uncertain regarding our trueness,
and therefore, no expansion can take place under those circumstances. He said it, "I must be
certain ... " For expansion to take place, we must give the Master El Morya tangible
reasons to be CERTAIN about our trueness.
And therefore, what is the path for us, what direction
must we go, to help erase the Master's uncertainty? How to we get from point A, to point B in
this respect? How do we get from that condition, which amounts to complete uncertainty in
regards to our trueness, to complete certainty in regards to our trueness? We go back and we
identify each situation in which our trueness was tested, wherein we failed that test. We go
back and we make amends. We revisit each situation, and we bring the Divine Law to bear on
each of those situations. And we pass those tests.
This is no different than any college course. The tests
that are given, must be passed. You don't get to go around the tests. If you fail those tests, you
go back to the very same tests that you failed, and you retake those tests until you pass them.
When the Master El Morya is testing our trueness, when we fail one of those tests, we must go
back and pass them. We must, or we cannot move forward.
I am the goose that lays the golden egg of realization
in this respect. Really, I am that goose. I am going to sit on that egg until it hatches. I am
going to sit on that egg until it hatches, until that realization blossoms in the minds of every
member of this community.
And why do you think John Kerry decided to go goose
hunting? The forces of darkness want to shoot those gooses down before they can lay their
golden eggs.
Seriously, the Master has given us the equation for
expansion. It is so simple. If you desire the organization to expand, if you desire for these
teachings to reach millions, you must adhere to the equation given by the Master. Each time
your trueness to the Master El Morya is tested, you must pass that test. And if you don't pass it,
you must go back and pass it. You can't walk forward in this condition of mindless wishful
thinking that you can abandon those tests, and everything will be ok. No, they will not be ok.
You must turn around, you must go back, and you must pass those tests! You must. Thereby,
as the frown on the Master's face, begins to turn into a smile, as each test is passed, when the
Master is finally CERTAIN that you are true to him, and I am speaking to the whole
community, then, and only then, will expansion occur.
And so, the road to expansion is, without a doubt, in
the resolution of these grievous corruptions of the Teaching that we have before us now. We
add two more to the list with the addition of the exposes that lead off this Front Page. These
items must be resolved in truth. That is the only way forward into the domain of total victory
for this planet.
Consider just one of these points in detail, before
moving on. Take the act of overt rebellion that occurred upon the Altar of the Holy Grail on
the evening of July 4, 2003, the highlight of the Freedom Conference for that year. In the
planning stages, when Church Manager Linda Worobec was tempted to include a Beatles tune
in the Opus V performance, and the Holy Angels counseled her to leave it out, that was a test of
trueness to the Master El Morya. She included it anyway. She failed that test of trueness.
When Linda Worobec was counseled by the Holy Angels to not perform that Beatles tune on
the altar of the Holy Grail, on evening of July 4, 2003, that was a test of trueness to the Master
El Morya. She performed that tune anyway. She failed that test of trueness. When the entire
leadership was counseled by the Holy Angels to challenge Linda Worobec's rebellion, and to
hold her accountable for that act of rebellion, that was a test of trueness to the Master El
Morya. They refused to challenge her, or to hold her accountable. They all failed that test of
trueness. When the membership of this organization was presented with this collective act of
rebellion on the part of the leadership of this church, the Holy Angels counseled everyone to
stand up and challenge that rebellion, and turn it back. That was a test of trueness to the Master
El Morya. The membership refused to stand up and challenge that rebellion, and to turn it
back. The membership failed that test of trueness. And so here we are.
Everytime you wonder what we need to do to bring
about the expansion of the Teachings across the entire planet, your attention must return to at
least this one failed test. And when your attention returns to that test, and you allow your mind
to think about it, and you are confronted anew with the inescapable understanding that indeed
we must go back and pass that test, you are smack dab in the middle of another test of trueness
to the Master El Morya. That understanding is the Christ in you. Will you bend the knee, and
take the actions that understanding requires? Or will you turn your back on it one more time?
Each time you turn your back on it, you are failing that test of trueness again. The organization
will NEVER expand, as long as the members keep failing this test of trueness.

Memorandum From
El Morya Regarding
the Discipline of
Susan E. Krister
An Important Historical
Event
By Steven S. Showers, Editor
Susan Elizabeth Krister was very active as the
Messenger's right hand man in 1983 when I went to Summit University. Here she is, standing
next to the Messenger, at her very right hand in fact, in my Summit University class photo.
This was taken in December of 1983. Susan Elizabeth Krister appeared like a paragon of virtue
to me. So much for appearances. It turns out she was abusing power, left and right behind the
scenes, in her relationship to other staff members most notably, and for the most part, this went
unnoticed by the Messenger herself. Here are some of the phrases used by the Master El Morya
in relationship to Susan Krister in the memorandum below.
1. inordinate use of the mantle of the Guru
2. misuse of the mantle of the Messenger
3. abuse of power as ... pertained to her exercise of the mantle of Minister at the altar
4. serious and repeated infractions of the code of honor under which Susan was obliged to
function as a minister
5. "I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow."
6. Both of these false hierarchies comprise the world cult of idolatry and the abuse of power to
which consciousness Susan was prey, and of which shemade herself heir.
7. The offenses that came through her were seldom challenged and certainly not brought to the
attention of the Messenger with the consistency needed to shatter the image of the beast of
idolatry.
8. And when the children of the Light do not take the precious word of the Ascended Masters
and the Messengers and lovingly give obedience to that word
9. the karma of failure to speak up in defense of justice
10. the failure to confess that sin of commission
11. the need both for penance for the acts of scarring other lives
Some of these things sound sort of familiar I would
say. When it comes to the current leadership, who is holding their feet to the fire? Nobody.
This is an historic document, and it speaks to the issue
of holding leadership accountable. You can see from what is said here, that there is a
combination of both false adulation and fear that keeps people quiet when it comes to
challenging wrong doing in their own midst. We have a lot to learn from this incident. And
those lessons must be applied to every person in leadership, now and forever.
This situation came to a head in the late summer or
early fall of 1985. Notice that Robert Worobec is made mention of here as one of the Master's
best students, yet in 2003 he participated, along with his wife, Linda Worobec, in the
performance of a Beatles tune on the Altar of the Holy Grail. Perhaps he is one that never
recovered from Susan Krister's abuse, never recovered his Christhood.

MEMORANDUM
From El Morya, Chief of the Darjeeling Council of the Great White Brotherhood
To:The Board of Directors of The Summit Lighthouse,
Church Universal and Triumphant
The Elders of the Church
Department Heads
Permanent and Probationary Staff
Re: The Discipline of Susan E. Krister
The Hour of World Transmutation
On June 28, I sent the Messenger to Camelot to deliver
our address, opening the healing seminar prior to the July conference. That very afternoon I
sent her to the office of Susan Krister with a message which I encapsulate as follows: that she
had become the prisoner of a tower of idolatry which she had built but did not have the power
to tear down; that this tower consisted of an entourage of individuals, herself ensconced dead
center, held together by inordinate relationships of several kinds, specifically those held in
mutual sympathy, idolatry, or fear, including self-hatred; that this tower was founded upon an
inordinate use of the mantle of the Guru which she had been warned against repeatedly and that
to continue in such a state would result in her undoing, even her death.
Contrary to what was believed by some, all of her
physical problems, were due to the misuse of the mantle of the Messenger, for the most part
without the Messenger's knowledge or foreordaining.
However, on a number of focused occasions, Susan
had been corrected by me through the Messenger on her abuse of power in dealing with
disciplinary matters of staff and students and as pertained to her exercise of the mantle of
Minister at the altar. On each separate occasion it was pointed out to her that she could not
conduct herself with the authority she had assumed and the discord she displayed.
The conclusion of the message was that in order to
restore her health and retain the option for service in this life, the cult and tower of idolatry
must come tumbling down and the misuses of power must cease. Susan confirmed her
immediate understanding of the teaching and the necessity for my intercession to deliver her
from the overpowering structure she had created. She said she had been reborn and would
nevermore go back to her former ways. Alas, if only those words had been kept. Yet, following
the meeting of June 28, she once again devastated some of our best servants-Ellen Goodman,
Robert Worobec, and others, as well as decreers and decree leaders. Such is the dye of sin that
stains the garment. (Please see my dictation of July 19, 1985, published as Pearl vol. 28, no. _
for the explanation from Maitreya's Mystery School on the refinement of Good and the
replacement of Evil.) [Ed: Vol. 28 No. 43]
Needless to say, because of the immaculate love which
our Father Alpha focuses continually through the Messenger on behalf of all Earth's evolutions,
the Messenger was not outwardly aware of the serious and repeated infractions of the code of
honor under which Susan was obliged to function as a minister and as an executive assistant to
the Messenger. Neither was the Messenger aware of the extreme burden which Susan had
placed upon numerous individuals on and off of staff and midst the student body over the years
of her service at the time when I dictated my message through her to you, "Idolatry and the
Abuse of Power."
Thus we cherish the mantle and the instrument that
may be used to deliver our thrust for our purpose-in this case the dismantling of a human tower
of power-without that message being tainted by preconception, misconception, or no
conception at all on the part of the Messenger.
However, since the meetings wherein this dictation
was read to you have been held at Camelot and the Royal Teton Ranch, letters and verbal
communications have been given to the Messenger whereby she has been apprised of grievous
burdens borne by many inflicted by the jealous tirades of Susan Krister over the years. Those
who have never seen her so engaged by the powers of darkness will be shocked to hear these
words. But I say, no more so than you should be shocked at the words of Jesus to his own
disciple Peter, "Get thee behind me, Satan" when Peter was out of alignment with the will of
God.
The injury to these lifestreams is more than a scarring
of the memory or the searing of the soul, because it resulted in the suppression of the threefold
flame, the Christ-intelligence, the personal integrity and sense of self-worth of all who came
within the range of her vituperation, as well as many who never heard her most unfortunate
deliveries.
In her ambition to be all things to the Messenger,
Susan displaced many who could have done the job equally as well or better, exhausting herself
in the process and trampling upon the true mantle of Chela that belongs to all in our
community---as well as the mantle of Guru. The magnitude of this sin can be measured only by
the setback, not only to individual lifestreams and those who have come and gone under her
shadow, but also the setback to the organization as a whole, For the full flowering of
Christhood in our chelas has in many areas been aborted and must now be restored by the able
ministrations of the legions of the Maha Chohan.
In view of the above, as well as in consideration of her
stated exhaustion incurred thereby, on August 18 last, I had the Messenger phone Susan Krister
at Camelot and deliver her the following discipline in the presence of Ward Stuckey, Susan
Brailsford and Erin Prophet. The teaching given in the seventh year of her service on the 18th
of the month was taken from Revelation, chapter 18, verse 7, and Matthew chapter 18, verse
7-not without coincidence.
I explained to her through the Messenger the
interpretation of the words in Revelation, "I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no
sorrow:" That she had wade herself a queen, a hierarch in the midst of the community without
acknowledging her loss of the Bridegroom, the eternal Christ, nor placing herself subject to
him as his true queen.
Thus exercising royal office without the sponsorship
of the Mediator, she did not accept the consequences of her misuse of the office of the Mother
and denied that her accountability would be unto her: "I sit a queen, and am no widow, and
shall see no sorrow." Thus she professed to know not the hurt she had caused so many; though
denying accountability, whilst having set up this she had been so engaged untrue standards of
authority as, "my right."
[Editor's Note: The last sentence in the last paragraph must have been garbled in
transcription, as it makes no sense. The only sense I can gather from this, is reflected in these
rearranged sentence: though denying accountability, the untrue standards of authority she set up
whilst having been so engaged, she considered nevertheless to be, "my right."]
These chapters 17 and 18 of the Book of Revelation,,
together with chapter 47 of the Book of Isaiah-specifically verses 6 and 7 describe the fall of
Babylon the Great. As you know, there are two Babylons: the ecclesiastical and the political
Babylon; one the false hierarchy of anti-Christ in church, the other the false hierarchy of the
International Capitalist/Communist Conspiracy.
Both of these false hierarchies comprise the world cult
of idolatry and the abuse of power to which consciousness Susan was prey, and of which she
made herself heir. Thus, with the judgment of the ruby ray upon the tower of Babel and
Nineveh and the modern Babylon, those who have become drunk with power, the power of the
blood of the saints-the essence of their light-are also judged.
The second verse pertinent to the hour taken from
Matthew 18:7 reads "Woe unto the world because of offenses! For it must needs be that of
offenses come; but woe to that man by whom that offense cometh!" The explanation of this text
which I gave to Susan and which I now give to you is that the Great Law allows each one to
outplay himself: you to outplay yourself, Susan; and you to outplay yourselves, the staff.
The offenses that came through her were seldom
challenged and certainly not brought to the attention of the Messenger with the consistency
needed to shatter the image of the beast of idolatry. Thus, offenses must come. For the offense
of the Christ is inherent in the plays of darkness amongst the princes of this world. And when
the children of the Light do not take the precious word of the Ascended Masters and the
Messengers and lovingly give obedience to that word, from time to time they are given task
masters, such as the Egyptians or a false hierarchy king such as Saul, that they way for a season
know the tyranny of the nephilim gods and desire ever more purely and preciously the direct
contact with God's love through his emissaries.
Thus, it is in part the karma of the community and
each one who himself must slay the Babylonian beast and the great whore within himself, and
in part the karma of failure to speak up in defense of justice on behalf of those who were
persecuted for righteousness' sake, that offenses have come.
Thus there is the twofold error on the part of the staff
and a great learning experience as well, as a great healing, that is taking place as the surgery in
the body of God is knitting together again. And there is a twofold error on the part of Susan:
first, in the abuse of that power and the building of the tower after having been fully warned of
the consequences; and secondly, the failure to confess that sin of commission when it occurred
repeatedly outside the Messenger's presence.
Had atonement and interior self-correction been
sought by Susan, as well as the intercession of the mantle of the Messenger, had she truly
desired to cease her tyranny, she could have come through her seven years of initiation under
the seven chohans with a goodly portion of that beast of idolatry slain and defeated, ready now
for the true initiations of the ruby ray that are beyond the judgment which she has incurred.
(Ironically her professed addiction to coffee seemed of greater concern to herself than her
addiction to tyranny-the latter being the greatest danger of all to her health!) Thus, though the
offenses came to Israel through Egypt, Assyria, and Babylon for their disobedience, yet
ultimately the oppressors one and all were themselves judged. So you have endured for a
season, so now it is your hour of opportunity to realize your individual Christhood and to make
giant strides to catch up with the levels of initiation and service with which you should be
draped, from your shoulders to your toes, by the mantle of Kuthumi and the cowl of Saint
Francis.
This head covering, ever the sign of humility desiring
to be covered until one's karma or sins be wholly purified and one is ready to stand in the
presence of his God bareheaded, unashamed, the valiant knight or lady of the flame returned
from the quest victorious.
Though the latter was not part of my message to
Susan, I did conclude the teaching on scripture I have given you also (with greater detail to
yourselves than that given to her) with a message that the need both for penance for the acts of
scarring other lives and for attention to her health which has suffered all the more for her
karmic infractions, I did extend to her a six-month leave of absence by way of discipline and by
way of relief to herself from herself--and to the community that they might find their identity
apart from the presence of one who, for so many, became, so sadly, so unnecessarily-the
specter of denial of their own integrity in God.
Thus I am apprising you of the fact that this leave of
absence was given in love-the love of the third ray of Paul the Venetian and the Maha Chohan,
and the love of the third ray of Chamuel and Charity as the judgment of the ruby ray.
Let all consider the meaning of a seven-year tenure of
service affording initiations under the seven chohans and chart their cycles accordingly in the
expectancy of receiving the fullness of opportunity of initiation under Serapis Bey and
Chamuel and Charity as the eighth year approaches. If you have skipped any of the steps of the
teachings of the seven chohans in your measured beat marching to the Sun, may I recommend
that you review the meaning, the way, the path, and the teaching of the chohans and place
yourself earnestly under our discipline that you might unfold your cosmic Christhood in the
seven bodies of man.
A review of the dictations of the chohans from the
beginning of this activity would afford a mighty course of achievement for achievers and those
who truly desire to be ministering servants. This opportunity should not be missed lest the path
of the ruby ray become a burdensome exercise in futility, frustration, irritation, and-ultimately
and inevitably-contempt for the LORD God himself in the person of Sanat Kumara and the one
who wears his mantle.
Thus I commend you to place pity where pity is due:
to the souls and the afflicted to whom Jesus Christ himself was sent, the lost sheep of the
House of Israel who have been deprived of the knowledge of their joint heirship by tyrants
through the ages.
May your decrees resound from the halls of the Holy
Grail and the halls of Luxor on behalf of those who have been sent away from the Great White
Brotherhood over the centuries by those who have set themselves up as the false
mother--delicious but cunning- without sincerity or the true desire to enter the flame of God
and be consumed thereby.
Thus, if the Messenger be missing from your midst
know that she has entered the Holy of Holies to be consumed thereby; that she might come
forth to you a new creature demanding of you excellence beyond yourselves. Thus in her
absence prefer to mourn than to accept the substitute image of the beast in thyself or another,
and fill the vacuum with thine own Christhood, however imperfectly chiseled out of the white
stone of the Great Alchemist.
Know the LORD in thyself and thou shalt know the
LORD in the Messenger. We are impelling you higher. No progress can be made unless the
leader precede you up the mountain. Accept no substitutes for thy Christ Self, and then you will
also know that there is only one Messenger, one God, one goal. Thus leave to us and to Susan
the privacy of her initiation, and thyself to thine own.
If compassion is to be given, it will be given by us and
it will be complete. We also judge not lest we be judged, and our testimony is of Him that sent
us, even the Lord Maitreya. Thus learn by example the lessons of the path of the Ruby Ray.
Applaud not the defeats of another but make his defeats thy victory, that the universe might not
be found wanting in victors before the LORD. Imitate the path and pray for those who
despitefully use you, yet do not let your garments be entangled with those who have soiled their
own.
This is a new day and a new opportunity for Saint
Germain to speak through you, the compassionate word, the Comforter's teaching, the
enlightenment, the upliftment, the assurance, to all who have been burdened and bowed down
by that harshness which must never, never be again in our community of the Holy Spirit.
The Darjeeling Council saluteth you, for again you
have endured through the temptations and trials of our Messenger, confessing her love before
men. Therefore, she does confess your love before the Holy of Holies in the presence of
seraphim. May their chant ever be your own, "Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD of Hosts: the
whole earth is full of His glory."
If you will give this mantra into the day and into the
night direct from the heart of Justinius, captain of seraphic bands, you will be caught up in the
aura and the wings and the electronic fire rings of seraphim, and by the turning of the wheels
deflect all infamy against our Light and Light-bearers.
With the sign of the ruby cross I, Morya, salute you in
the hour of tribulation that shall be, I declare it, the hour of world transmutation. I send you to
GOD robed in violet-flame garments with wings of seraphim ascending.
Morya
ECP:
The Messenger would like to remind those to whom this letter is directed that on August 8,
1958, El Morya wrote his letter "Chelas Mine" in which he benched Frances Ekey for usurping
the office of the Messenger-rewriting the dictations and the Pearls, sending walloping and
resounding waves of discord to the Messenger Mark, criticizing and condemning him, even
decreeing that he be taken from embodiment. His message on idolatry and the abuse of power
together with this letter to you and his message to Susan Krister by phone are the conclusion of
his 1958 August message to his "Chelas Mine."
May you all profit thereby and walk newly in the paths of Righteousness for His name's
sake, the name of our dearly beloved El Morya who has once again rescued us from the toils of
the tempter, and indeed rescued Susan Krister for that salvation which is now hers to pursue
fully and freely.
|
In this memorandum is contained the full authority of the
Chief of the Darjeeling Council, for students to speak up, and speak up consistently, when
leadership abuses power, when leadership abuses the mantle of authority associated with their
offices. From this you can see clearly, that the practice of the current leadership of dismissing
people who speak out, is an act of rebellion against the Master El Morya himself.
I therefore demand, by the authority vested in me,
through the Master's timeless and eternal admonishments set before us in this Memorandum,
that my membership in this Church, with all of the rights and privileges associated with it, be
fully restored, and that without delay, for of a truth, I have only spoken the truth, challenging
only the wrongdoing and rebellion of the current leadership, manifesting thereby obedience to
the Master El Morya, and nothing more.
Let the membership pay close attention here. People
in leadership positions can appear to be paragons of virtue, even to themselves,
especially as they lead the congregation in their devotions, but behind the scenes their exercise
of power can be so egregiously out of alignment with the divine law, that if the Master could,
he would dismiss them forthwith. The only reason that Susan Elizabeth Krister was ever held
accountable, was that enough people finally spoke up, it sounds like it might have been a
chorus at one point, which finally got the Messenger's attention, and the Master finally spoke
through the Messenger to dismiss her.
I see the name of Erin Prophet mentioned above, as
one of the three who were present, I am assuming at Camelot, when the discipline was
delivered. Perhaps she can be persuaded to share her recollections of the situation, to help us
understand the importance of challenging wrong doing before it has a chance to spiral out of
control. How about it Erin?

Thomas Jefferson's
Thanksgiving Day
Proclamation (!)
By Steven S. Showers, Editor
Those of you who have been
following the school prayer issue will remember that the anti-school prayer forces love to use
former President Thomas Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptists, as the foundation for their
argument against prayer in the public schools. In that letter, Jefferson refers to a "wall of
separation" between Church and State. And that phrase, even though it was not in the U.S.
Constitution, became the rallying point around which all arguments against prayer in the public
schools have coalesced to the present hour. The Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court, in their
first ruling against school prayer in 1962, relied heavily on Jefferson's metaphor to help them
understand the thinking of the framers of the U.S. Constitution, even though Thomas Jefferson
was not one of those framers. Really, he was America's ambassador to France during the years
the U.S. Constitution was framed, debated, and ratified.
If you want to know what Thomas Jefferson really
thought about God, and the relationship of the people to that God, well, you need look no
further that the Declaration of Independence which he authored. "We hold these truths to be
self-evident, that we are endowed by our Creator ... "
At any rate, it didn't help matters when Thomas
Jefferson, as the President of the United States, refused to declare the traditional days of
thanksgiving unto God, which his predecessors George Washington, and John Adams
established
at the federal level, a tradition that continues to this day.
And so, the opponents of school prayer use Jefferson
as their poster boy, to make their point, that government should have nothing at all to do with
religion. Of course, they have taken this way too far, as the following document testifies, a
document that has never appeared before in the school prayer debate, as far as I know.
At the time that Jefferson served as President, there
was still a major effort abroad in the land to keep the hands of the federal government out of
the business of the States, and Jefferson was the more attuned to this, because he himself had
served as the Governor of the State of Virginia, and therefore had a very clear sense of State's
Rights. This is a very important point that is often overlooked. He was the first President who
had also served as a Governor of the one of the States. Neither George Washington, or John
Adams had that experience.
We should remember this as well, that the federal
government at that time was not trusted. The people who were the most likely to mistrust the
federal government were those who had something to do with the governance of the States, and
who could appreciate exactly what it was that the federal government could take away.
Therefore, there was a fear rampant almost everywhere, that the U.S. Constitution had actually
created a Beast that would eventually gobble up all power. And so Jefferson was one who kept
the vigil on that particular wall. He kept the vigil on the wall of that fortress, which was called
Fort State Sovereignty, in relationship to a newly evolving and growing federal government
whose appetite for power and influence was just then being felt.
And when Jefferson spoke of a wall of separation
between Church and State, there is this added dimension of meaning that must be taken into
account. Jefferson stood first and foremost on the wall that separated federal power from the
powers and prerogatives of the States. And one of the things that gave definition to that wall,
was the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which proclaimed that Congress shall make
no law respecting an establishment of religion, nor abridge the free exercise thereof. The
purpose of these words at that time was to keep the hands of the federal government out of the
religious affairs of the States, which had their own various and traditional arrangements with
the religions and churches that were located within their boundaries.
When Jefferson, as the President of the United States,
used the "wall of separation" metaphor, in his letter to the Danbury Baptists, and moreover,
refused to proclaim days of Thanksgiving at the federal level, he was acting as America's first
strict constructionist, when it comes to interpreting the First Amendment. He was saying first
and foremost, that he would not allow the federal government to meddle in the religious affairs
of the states.
But surely Jefferson, who had been intimately
involved in the efforts to separate the church from the State in Virginia in the mid 1770's,
certainly had a clear set of views on what church/state separation meant (at the State level).
And so, his "wall of separation" metaphor certainly encompassed those views as well especially
given the fact that he was speaking to a group of people, the Danbury Baptists, who suffered as
second class citizens in the State of Massachusetts, which had an Official State Church at the
time, which was the Congregationalists. There is no doubt then, that Jefferson's "wall of
separation" metaphor embodied his belief, based on his experience in Virginia, that the State
must guard the religious rights of all the people, and not persecute any.
And so, in trying to understand what Jefferson meant
by the wall of separation metaphor, we must include both halves of the whole.
The problem is, that the anti-prayer forces, being
intent only on their goal of erasing the footprints of God from the public square, have skewed,
in a very self-serving manner, the views of Thomas Jefferson way over to one side only,
looking only at his efforts as a member of the Virginia Assembly to forge a separation between
church and state in colonial Virginia. They totally ignore his equal interest in keeping the
hands
of the federal government out of the affairs of the states, where those hands did not belong.
In this respect, Thomas Jefferson would have
been flabbergasted at how the federal government has reached into the States and swept away
all of their divine traditions, beginning with the practice of prayer in the public schools, and
posting of the ten commandments. To use the church/state viewpoints of Thomas Jefferson to
justify what he himself would have thought anathema, is of course disingenuous to the extreme.
Remember, there were State established religions within various States during that period, but
Jefferson never made any kind of a plea for the use of the power of the federal government to
eliminate them. The States, by 1833, on their own prerogative, were able to eliminate all of
the
most classic examples of church/state partnerships that then existed.
We have in this document below, further proof that
Jefferson's views on church/state separation have been taken to an extreme. In other
words, this document highlights the truth in this regard, that his memory is being used to
promote an agenda of divine sterility in the public square that he would have never approved.
This document shows that Thomas Jefferson himself, as the Governor of the State of Virginia,
pursuant to a resolution of his own State Legislature, issued a Thanksgiving Day proclamation,
and signed his own name to it. That's right. Here is the text of that proclamation.
Proclamation Appointing a Day
of Thanksgiving and Prayer
HEREAS the Honourable the General Congress, impressed with a grateful sense of the
goodness of Almighty God, in blessing the greater part of this extensive continent with
plentiful harvests, crowning our arms with repeated successes, conducting us hitherto safely
through the perils with which we have been encompassed and manifesting in multiplied
instances his divine care of these infant states, hath thought proper by their act of the 20th day
of October last, to recommend to the several states that Thursday the 9th of December next be
appointed a day of publick and solemn thanksgiving and prayer, which act is in these words, to
wit.
"Whereas it becomes us humbly to approach the
throne of Almighty God, with gratitude and praise, for the wonders which his goodness has
wrought in conducting our forefathers to this western world; for his protection to them and to
their posterity, amidst difficulties and dangers; for raising us their children from deep distress,
to be numbered among the nations of the earth; and for arming the hands of the just and mighty
Princes in our deliverance; and especially for that he hath been pleased to grant us the
enjoyment of health and so to order the revolving of the seasons, that the earth hath produced
her increase in abundance, blessing the labours of the husbandman, and spreading plenty
through the land; that he hath prospered our arms and those of our ally, been a shield to our
troops in the hour of danger, pointed their swords to victory, and let them in triumph over the
bulwarks of the foe; that he hath gone with those who went out into the wilderness against the
savage tribes; that he hath stayed the hand of the spoiler, and turned back his meditated
destruction; that he hath prospered our commerce, and given success to those who sought the
enemy on the face of the deep; and above all, that he hath diffused the glorious light of the
gospel, whereby, through the merits of our gracious Redeemer, we may become the heirs of his
eternal glory. Therefore,
Resolved, that it be recommended to the several
states to appoint THURSDAY the 9th of December next, to be a day of publick and solemn
THANKSGIVING to Almighty God, for his mercies, and of PRAYER, for the continuance of
his favour and protection to these United States; to beseech him that he would be graciously
pleased to influence our publick Councils, and bless them with wisdom from on high, with
unanimity, firmness and success; that he would go forth with our hosts and crown our arms
with victory; that he would grant to his church, the plentiful effusions of divine grace, and pour
out his holy spirit on all Ministers of the gospel; that he would bless and prosper the means of
education, and spread the light of christian knowledge through the remotest corners of the
earth; that he would smile upon the labours of his people, and cause the earth to bring forth her
fruits in abundance, that we may with gratitude and gladness enjoy them; that he would take
into his holy protection, our illustrious ally, give him victory over his enemies, and render him
finally great, as the father of his people, and the protector of the rights of mankind; that he
would graciously be pleased to turn the hearts of our enemies, and to dispense the blessings of
peace to contending nations.
That he would in mercy look down upon us, pardon
all our sins, and receive us into his favour; and finally, that he would establish the
independence of these United States upon the basis of religion and virtue, and support and
protect them in the enjoyment of peace, liberty and safety."
I do therefore by authority from the General
Assembly issue this my proclamation, hereby appointing Thursday the 9th day of December
next, a day of publick and solemn thanksgiving and prayer to Almighty God, earnestly
recommending to all the good people of this commonwealth, to set apart the said day for those
purposes, and to the several Ministers of religion to meet their respective societies thereon, to
assist them in their prayers, edify them with their discourses, and generally to perform the
sacred duties of their function, proper for the occasion.
Given under my hand and the seal of this
commonwealth, at Williamsburg, this 11th day of November, in the year of our Lord, 1779, and
in the fourth of the commonwealth.
THOMAS JEFFERSON
[Text from Virginia Gazette (Dixon & Nicolson), 20 Nov. 1779. Issued in
pursuance of the resolve of Congress here quoted; see Huntington to TJ, 20 Oct. 1779. The
Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Volume 3, 18 June 1779 to 30 September 1780, Julian P. Boyd,
Editor, Princeton, New Jersey, Princeton University Press, 1951, pp. 177-179]

This much is for sure. The Thomas Jefferson that could
sign his name to this document, and moreover, which contained this phrase, " ... that he
would establish the independence of these United States upon the basis of religion and virtue ...
", is not the Thomas Jefferson that anti-God zealots are trying to sell us. The real Thomas
Jefferson, the man who signed his name to this proclamation, in the midst of the very
revolution that would give the United States her independence, is not the man who they believe
is on his knees scrubbing the divine footprints of God himself off the floor of the public square.
The real Thomas Jefferson respects God, and understands the importance of our public
acknowledgment of our faith, our gratitude, and our prayers.

The Golden Chalice
By Steven S. Showers, Editor
Finally at the end of the work day, when I get to
experience that blessed thing we call sleep, before I roll over and close my eyes, I make one
last effort, and give three judgment calls, and three 7.21 calls, and then I think, finally, the day
is over, and this great reward now awaits me, wherein I get to close my eyes, and leave all of
the business of the world completely behind for a time. Make no mistake about it. When I roll
over, and my eyelids fall down over my eyeballs, the next thing on the agenda is the
weightlessness of oblivion.
Somehow, God our Father has arranged this special
time, when we can become completely separated from all the cares of the world, and I look
forward to it. And I am grateful for it.
But an interesting thing happened to me when I did my
usual roll over. My outer mind was looking to fall into the arms of oblivion, but surprise! I am
confronted with very special revelation that I wanted to share with you. Who else can I share it
with? Actually, I think it belongs to all of us.
I saw a golden chalice, and there were inscriptions on
the upper part, and inside and spilling out of the top was a bright and radiant white light. And
over this were the bands of a rainbow. And so, I had to get out of bed, and write it down in my
journal. And when I came before the computer today, I wanted to see if I could somehow
reproduce what I have seen. I don't claim to be an artist, so it takes me a lot of time to come up
with something that is somewhat close. And I would like to share with you my labors for
today.
That is basically what I saw on Saturday night, July 17,
2004. I was laying on my back, and I had just finished the calls that I mentioned above.
Because I don't sleep on my back, right at that point, I always roll over, either to the left, or the
right. And while my body was transitioning from one position to the other, this vision came to
me.

What in the world could be more important than finding
out how this Ascended Master Community will deal with a Leader that has told more than one
outright lie, and told them in public. We saw what happened in
the case of President Bill Clinton. The effort to remove that individual from office totally
fizzled. Is the same thing going to happen in this community? Let's find out. Let's take the
pulse of the community on this issue. Is the heart beat of truth still pounding solidly within the
arteries of a community sponsored by that Master known as the God of Truth? (That's El
Morya). This would be a good thing to know. Is the patient dead or alive? If the patient is
dead, we can take
him to the morgue. But if the patient is still alive, well, there is hope! There's still a life,
useful and constructive to be lived! Let's find out.
This poll, our May/June Poll, has more questions than
our last one, twelve (12) in all, and therefore deserves a polling page all to itself. But before
you go there and cast your vote, for life, or for death, let me explain to you how our contest will
work this time around, and of course what the prize is.
This time, the contest is part of the poll itself. Yes,
they are ONE. I think its Question No. 9, yes, that's right, which asks, "Would you like to
participate in our contest?" If you check the "Yes" button, then when you submit your answers
to all of the questions, your contest entry will be submitted at the same time.
Now, the contest will be pretty much along the same
lines as our last one, which was so gloriously fruitful, in terms of the dazzling sparkles of
serendipity that burst forth from it in all directions (see the contest results for the first contest,
the remarks of the contest winner, and the challenge presented to her, and of course the
summary of it all in the article above). And so, again, the prize
will go to the person who can predict the number of people who think it is important enough to
participate in this life and death poll. The person who comes closest to predicting the right
number, will win! What will they win? They will win a two-cassette audio tape album of the
landmark lecture given by the
Messenger on October 7, 1977, on the Summit University Campus in Pasadena, California,
published under the title, The Science of Rhythm for the Mastery of the Sacred
Energies of Life - Uses and Misuses of the Word in the Music of East and West - A Lecture by
Elizabeth Clare Prophet.
Of course, we have presented some quotations and
audio excerpts from this album in the main article on the Journal Front Page for May
2004, so if you have read that, you will have a taste already, of what wonders to behold
await you when you get to listen to the whole thing! Allow me please, to present the front and
back covers of the album here. What is written on the back cover is very interesting.

Album Back Cover
If the winner already has a copy of this most blessed
album, well, then, we have an alternate prize, and that would be the same 2 CD Set, the
Essential Tallis Scholars, that we presented to the winner of the last contest. Check the Front
Page for April 2004,
for a
more detailed description.
And so, without further adieu, knowing now what a
great prize awaits the most prescient member of our community, I would invite you to please
participate in this important poll, and at the same time, enter our new contest!
