I would direct the reader's attention most specifically to this concept, that when the sacred fire is present, we are "God by direction." Our interpretation can take two paths, but they are compatible.

     First, we can ask, By whose direction? Isn't that the question? By whose direction? The sponsoring Master has released the sacred fire into our worlds, first by virtue of the tests we have passed, and second by virtue of the calls we have made. The Master, in direct consultation with God our Father and Mother, has made a conscious choice to do that. More precisely, the Master has been directed by the Law itself, to release the power of God into the temple of the soul. When the sacred fire is present, the very substance of God is present, so we can say, we are God, by the direction of the Great Law, by the direction of the Divine Plan, or according to the blueprint of God's Purpose at a given moment.

     And secondly, from this self-evident knowledge concerning the divine origin of this power, and the fact that it is extended as a reward for right action, we conclude that our general life direction must correspond to the fundamentals of the Law that rules the Path of Initiation. Exactly. This is what defeats doubt. This manifestation of power is more than anything else, a reward. That's the way I read it. But I admit we must be careful here, because it is true nevertheless, that the Messenger, amidst such a great light as well, did make some fairly substantial mistakes in judgment. And so, while we move forward confidently, we remain open, at the same time, to correction, the more cautiously as we ponder her fate, using it as a warning sign. This is prudent.

     Here is the most important point. The Master would never release this kind of power into the world of anyone who is guilty of the things that Lois Drake asserts in her letter that I am guilty of. It is just impossible.

     And so, the Board of Directors, and Lois Drake, they have their opinion of who I am. But their opinion is wrong. They have reached their judgments. But their judgment is wrong. The Masters have spoken, and their opinion is what matters to me, and what should matter to every member of this church. It should be what matters to the church leadership, but they have long since turned their back upon the Masters (internally). Yes, the Masters are on their lips, but not in their hearts. For all of us, who are not being pulled into the abyss of rebellion in the idolatrous wake of these rebels, it is the opinion of the Masters that should matter.

     And how do they express their judgment, their opinion? It is through the descent of the sacred fire that I have described in the short letter above, and which I will give more evidence below. Where and when the sacred fire descends, this is where the judgment of God descends. That's a fact. And what is that judgment? This is the judgment. Here is a soul that has proven that he can be trusted to not misqualify the Light. Therefore, more Light can be added. Here is a soul that has proven that he will only use the Light in service to the truth. Therefore, more Light can be added. Here is the soul that deserves freedom, because of his efforts to set others free. Therefore, let the sacred fire descend even more quickly, to deliver this soul out of bondage more quickly. Here is a soul that deserves mercy, because he has been merciful to others. Yes, merciful, even as I challenge the darkness that has a grip on the very hearts of so many in the leadership of this church.

     It is so ironic, the response that I got from the infamous Shyron Bynog, (End-of-Month Bonus Linda Worobec Supporter Shyron Bynog Speaks), when I communicated to the membership the occurrence of this traumatic event, and that more news would be forthcoming. Her responses to me, was this: "How fantastic! My prayers have been answered! 144 judgment calls every day just for you!" I told her before, I do not fear the judgment of God. This is why. That judgment descends upon my head every day as the presence of paradise with the message "Well done good and faithful servant."

     Using my scanner, I have compiled a series of excerpts from my daily journal, taken from August 20, 2004, to September 21, 2004, which is a period of one month. This was the month that preceded the action by Church President Lois Drake, and the Board of Directors which effectively excommunicated me from this blessed and precious church community.

     I would like the reader to understand, that this evidence extends into the past, not by days, weeks, or months, but by years, and into the future as well. I have scanned only the 30 day portion that preceded the false judgment of the Board of Directors, and a few days beyond that, up to the point where I received the letter, and decided how I was going to respond.

     What I recorded in my journal during this 30+ day period proves the above assertion. At the same time that God our Father, and the Masters are making it clear beyond all doubt that they are pleased with my performance, and that I am passing my tests, the church leadership is growing increasingly fearful of me, increasingly doubtful of me, increasingly angry with me, increasingly impatient with me, where finally, on September 21, 2004, they decide they cannot stand the sight of me any longer, reaching the conclusion that they must excommunicate me from this church.

      This evidence, which I will set before you, will prove that the Board of Directors, and the Church President, are out of step with the purposes of God and of the Ascended Masters. This evidence will prove that at the very same time that the Board of Directors, and the Church President Lois Drake are extending contempt and derision in my direction, that God and the Masters are filling my Treasure Chest to overflowing. Yes, they are anchoring the Treasures of the Light in the earth right here, in this temple.

     Without a doubt, and make no mistake about it, there is a special way that God our Father, using the communication links provided by the hearts of the Ascended Masters, says to the soul, "Well done, my good and faithful servant." This is through the impartation of the greatest reward that there is now, and there has ever been. It is the gift of the sacred fire. When we feel that sacred fire take command of our temple, we know we are in alignment with the law, and that we are passing our tests. This is fundamental fact. The presence of the sacred fire is the foundation for all attainment.

     Before presenting the evidence, in the form of the journal scans that I have referenced above, I would like to take this opportunity to make a few additional observations concerning the nature, and the characteristics of the sacred fire. I want to do this, and there is a need to do this, because the lower order memory, the memory associated with our status quo consciousness, does not readily link into these memories of the sacred fire that are given to us at the altar. We need to dwell on this for a little longer, so that the reader will have an opportunity to access those memories, if indeed the reader has those memories. If you are genuine student of the Masters, you should have these memories.

     And so, let us ask, and answer these questions. What is the sacred fire, where does it come from, and what is its purpose?

     As to where it comes from, it is always released from the heart of the Ascended Masters who stand with the soul during vigils at the altar. 99% of all experiences of the sacred fire are given to us in our sanctuaries, during our devotional periods before the Altar. That's why, for those who experience it, the Altar is sacred. Sacred Fire, Sacred Altar. I say this with an eye towards our Church Manager Rev. Linda Worobec, who, in a premeditated manner, performed a Beatles song on the Altar of the Holy Grail in King Arthur's Court, on July 4, 2003, before the worldwide community of Ascended Master students. And I say this with a eye towards the entire collective leadership who did not feel any harm was done. The altar was not sacred to them. In fact, it was a fitting place to help make a particular enemy of God and the Brotherhood, more popular among Ascended Master students (John Lennon).

     The sacred fire is extended into our temple for a purpose. One of the most important purposes is that of encouragement, comfort, and further inspiration. It is always an inner treasure. On the one hand, it is always the power of freedom, and on the other, it is always the avenue by which the love of God, and all the heavenly hosts reaches the sensibilities of the soul. As the soul is immersed in the sacred fire, the consciousness itself becomes translucent, and the soul can sense through this translucence the great spaciousness of the divine creation. The soul peers into the midst of it, and there is no sense of any limits, only the sense of that which registers on the awareness as precious qualities. There are no words in any human language that can describe these precious qualities to any degree of precision. If I say apple, you can see an apple in your mind's eye. But there are no similar words in the English language, at least not yet, that would enable you to lock into the characteristics of one aspect of sacred fire experience over another. It is much like the sensation of a cool breeze on your skin on a hot day. To know it, you must feel it. Your feeling world must register it. Certainly we can say accurately that each precious quality is in a category of wonder all by itself. But to find a word to categorize any particular quality, I don't know of any.

      In this regard, then, the sacred fire is clearly a power that transcends thought. It transcends thought by lifting the soul's awareness out of the region of thought, and into a higher region of attunement with energy systems that again, register upon the soul as things precious and cherished. In this lifting action, from whence it gains its reputation for liberation, the soul is lifted out of the socket of the carnal mind, setting the soul free from all of the tugging and pulling and aggressive confusion of the astral plane. In the presence of the sacred fire, all of that is now down below, way below, not registering on the awareness at all, and the soul, the whole consciousness is merged into what could be described as an energy field of paradise. Paradise is the best word we have for this experience. Everything about the experience is good, but beyond good, pegging the goodness meter at the upper limit, but never overdone, always masterfully melded into the fabric of awareness.

     Because the blessedness of this power is so great, the attention is locked into it, and revolves around it. The attention revolves around it, even as it is merged within it. When present, the sacred fire is the sole object of attention within the inner spaces. And I would note that we are not talking about an energy forcefield that is related specifically with the heart area. The point of most distinct focus is normally the third eye area, or the brow area, or the crown area. And many times, the presence of the sacred fire will fill the entire temple in a very uniform and seamless manner.

     I believe that when the sacred fire is present, it is accomplishing many things. One of the most important things that it is accomplishing is molding the consciousness of the soul, all of the four vehicles without a doubt, into a divine geometry, preparing the soul for the day wherein the Masters will raise the consciousness of the soul into the heart itself. You have heard of the cosmic interval. At the level of the heart, the soul's awareness expands out to embrace the allness of the creation, though in manageable increments according to the mentoring of the sponsoring master. Now, the allness of creation, is the allness of paradise. And so, only the geometry of paradise, can enter into paradise. If the soul is not merged with paradise first, how can the soul enter, then, into the heart? It is impossible. So the soul is acclimated, it is molded, into the patterns of paradise, by the power of the sacred fire, before the great day, when the fabric of consciousness itself can enter into the heart.

     And this is clear as well. The reality of the heart, even the first faint intimations of the cosmic power resident therein, registers upon the awareness of the soul, only when the soul is first immersed within the sacred fire.

     Also, I believe that when the temple is filled with the presence of the sacred fire, there is a corresponding presence of great light, though this, as a general rule, is not seen. It is felt. It is not seen. Again, nurturing the process of assimilation at this stage on the path is more important than overloading the soul with visual phenomena. Nevertheless, this great light can shine, and probably does shine out into the darkness of this world, and can touch many souls with the knowledge of paradise itself. When the presence of the sacred fire is very strong, therefore making the presence of a great light too obvious to overlook, one can ask that light to radiate out great beams to touch all souls on the planet. As long as the sacred fire is obviously here with you, it might as well be accomplishing the greatest possible work for the victory of God's purpose and plan. I wrote a prayer to that end back in 2000, which I included on every page of the Homeward Bound Journal from then on:

"O God, my Beloved Father, my Beloved Mother, I Am That I Am, please allow the sacred fire that you have placed within the fabric of my consciousness to radiate out into the world great beams of light, to bring hope, and the promise of God- Victory, to the hearts of your children in every nation."

     It is clear that the leadership never understood this prayer, never understood the experiential basis of this prayer.

     While the presence of the sacred fire transcends thought, the sacred fire does not control thought. The soul, in the midst of the sacred fire is free to think anything it wants to think. But this is the fundamental point, again related to liberation. The sacred fire frees the mind from the domination of the astral plane, from the influences therein that pull and tug at the mind, all those insidious pressures of the sinister force, all the pressures towards the entertainment of false logic, doubt, confusion, fear, anxiety, these cannot touch the soul when it is immersed in the sacred fire. And so, while this divine power does not impose its own thoughts upon the soul, it will not allow the astral plane to imposes its thoughts on the soul either. Here is a region of true freedom.

     Again, the astral plane, the medium through which aggressive mental suggestion operates, does impose thoughts upon the soul. The sacred fire sets the soul free from this imposition, while refraining from imposing any thoughts of its own.

     If it can be said that the sacred fire "imposes" anything, it would be the sensations associated with paradise, and this upon the higher order feeling world, leaving the soul free to think whatever it wants to think. Though the word "impose" does not really fit in this respect, because the word implies an application of power that is not welcomed by the freewill of the soul. The presence of the sacred fire, let me assure you, is always welcome. In every respect, at every appearance, the sacred fire serves the same function as a cold glass of water would to a man who has been long in the dry and arid desert without water for weeks. Anyone who is dying of thirst, will relish the appearance of the cold water on his lips. It is a hugely wonderful experience. And in this respect, the soul is in the same boat. The sacred fire is the water of life, and the soul was designed to live in the midst of it. Take the soul out of the midst of the sacred fire, and it starts to shrivel up, just like the man in the desert. The very instant that sacred fire touches the tongue, as it were, the soul is instantly refreshed, and will not walk away from it, at least by conscious choice.

     As the soul spends more and more time immersed in the sacred fire, it becomes aware, that where the thoughts go, there the attention goes, and so, and very quickly, the soul figures out what thoughts not to think if the soul desires to stay in the region of the wonderful. A thought towards the astral will find the soul, in the twinkling of an eye within a closed box of oppressive limitation. The contrast is stark. In as much as the sacred fire domain is the place to be, the soul learns where it must keep its attention, if it is to maximize the amount of time that it can remain in that domain. Generally speaking, the domain of gratitude and reverence is always safe ground in this respect. Now it is true, that once within the sacred fire domain, which is always the domain of the wonderful, that no one would consciously choose to leave. But much of our lower identity is composed of habit patterns of thought that go here, or there, or just about anywhere, without our conscious control. It will take time, and practice, to quickly identify, to resist, and to ultimately eliminate these tugs and pulls into non-productive thought patterns.

     If the reader has developed a strong daily decree momentum, and is making steady progress passing tests as they are presented, then this description should sound somewhat familiar. The presence of the power of the sacred fire within the region of our conscious awareness, this is one of the great rewards of the path. And you can understand why this is so, when you understand that the Christ Self, which we are destined to become fused with, is composed of sacred fire only. That's right. This is absolutely true. Fusion with the domain of sacred fire paradise, is synonymous with this great goal of fusing the soul to the Holy Christ Self.

     And so, you can see, that there is nothing to fear in this fusion. Who wouldn't want to be fused with the very fact of paradise? This is really easy to embrace. It takes no effort at all, at least in the sense, that when the sacred fire is with you, you naturally embrace it. Again, just as man who is dying of thirst will embrace that glass of cold water. The soul, and the sacred fire, they are meant to be one. There is a mutual magnetism that draws them together, that is, when the barriers have been removed. And so you relish every moment that you can stay within it. And of course there are higher challenges but they are even more blessed. Within the context of the sacred fire, the Master will reveal elements of the divine identity, that go beyond the field of sacred fire immersion. It is quite a challenge, when it comes to making the effort to return to the contemplation of these jewels. Yet, this is the requirement of fusion as well.

     Now, obedient souls will keep a daily journal to record spiritual experiences. The Masters have asked us to do this, and who will argue with me, that those who do this, are obedient? Yes, those who obey, they are obedient. Those who refuse to a keep a daily journal are those who are not obedient, and willfully so. Their dwellers do not want them to have any spiritual experiences at all, so what is the point of keeping a daily journal? Actually, these are the ones who do not want to surrender those aspects of the not-self, yes the very dweller of which I speak, which is a prerequisite for receiving these spiritual experiences. If that describes you, the first aspect of the not-self that you can defeat right off the bat, is the one the keeps you from keeping a daily journal.

     Now, the most important spiritual experiences we have are these instances in which the Masters send the sacred fire into our temples during our devotional periods. These experiences are so precious, and so much to be cherished, especially because these experience set us free from all inner turmoil, that we would naturally reach for our journal, and record these experience. It is like holding out a cup to catch golden drops of paradise as they fall one by one from the heights of heaven. Keeping a journal is part of the chalice consciousness in this regard. It is part of the process of holding onto the Light that is given. Again, on the front cover of the Keepers of the Flame lessons, there used to be these words, "Hold Fast What Thou Hast Received". As noted before, this has been put on the back cover, and this is no coincidence as I have noted. But, to keep a daily journal, this is an act of obedience, when it comes to fulfilling this admonishment, "Hold Fast What Thou Hast Received".

     A long time ago, I used to take a considerable amount of time describing these sacred fire events wherein the precious substance of the sacred fire descended into my temple, primarily during devotional periods before the Altar. At that time, it was an infrequent occurrence. Once or twice a week at most. Nevertheless, each event was so remarkable, I had to stop and describe the experience in my journal. But over the years, and especially during the last three or four years, these occurrences have become much more frequent, wherein I found I did not have the time to record each experience in depth, but on the other hand, I did not want the record of the event itself to be lost, in as much as these are the most precious events in my life, and one of the greatest sins would be to take these events for granted, which would be tantamount to being ungrateful, so I decided on a shorthand way of making these recordings in my journal. I decided to use a sun, that is smiling. I think that is fitting.

     Each place in my journal where a smiling sun is recorded, this marks the descent of a liberating divine power of the sacred fire into my temple, which is the very energy substance of paradise. This is what the sacred fire is in its essence. It is paradise. This power of paradise is the power of freedom, as I have already noted above, which sweeps away all that is less than perfect peace. Did you know that there are many many many different kinds of peace? There are. Each one has an absolutely unique quality to it. It's amazing.

     Now, each recorded event marks a conscious decision on the part of the sponsoring Master, who works directly with God our Father and Mother, to bring this power into manifestation within my temple at a particular point. This is actually the power of God our Father and Mother made manifest right within the very fabric of my soul. But, the Master's own presence is what allows this power to descend into the temple, in a manner that is perfectly calibrated to the need of the hour. Each recorded event, then, marks a coordinate in time and space, where the treasure of heaven has descended, and which has, speaking of purpose, specifically washed away a pre-existing condition of human limitation, or swamp consciousness. Being embedded in a swamp consciousness is no fun at all, and so, when we get set free from that, and we are raised into the domain of the wonderful, in the twinkling of an eye, these are the points that inspire us to record these experiences in our journals.

     I would like the reader to ponder deeply the role of the Master in bringing forth the manifestation of the sacred fire into the temple. Remember that when we experience the sacred fire, that we experience it as merged, or fused into the fabric of our consciousness. It is not like we are perceiving an object that is afar off, or even an object that is close by. No. This power is resident within the fabric of our own awareness. It could not be any closer. And so, given the fact that the Master's consciousness lowers this power into our own consciousness, maintaining the perfect calibration, in regards to intensity, and quality, then we must conclude, though this is completely transparent to our awareness, that the Master is right there, merged with us as well. Again, this is completely transparent to the awareness. We only know that this is true, by applying our reasoning faculties and knowledge of higher principles to the situation, and of course, the Teaching is the source of the knowledge of these higher principles. The Master merges with the student, to bring the student up, and into an awareness of the higher realities.

     I only point this out to underscore the importance of obeying the Teaching itself. You see, the Master is in the Teaching, first and foremost. These principles, that the Masters require us to anchor, and to assimilate, are actually the electrodes by which he can anchor his presence in our temple, for the purpose of this merging and lifting action. If we do not anchor those principles, the Master cannot enter in, to merge with our soul, for the purpose of lifting us up.

     And from this you can see the great deception that rebels are foisting on the minds of the people in this organization. They say they can keep their rebellion, but at the same time remain students on the path. This is impossible. Church Manager Linda Worobec is the most prominent proponent of this lie. But all the members of the leadership are complicit in the spreading of this lie throughout the organization. The Master will not enter in, to merge himself with the dweller of pride, to lift that pride bound soul up. It will never happen. The path requires that the soul surrender its pride. The soul must anchor within its consciousness a spirit of contrition, and repentance, whenever it has been caught with its hand in the cookie jar, in this respect. We are back to admitting mistakes, showing contrition, doing penance. These are signs that pride has been surrendered. But they are not just signs. They are modalities of awareness, like unto the locking mechanisms that allow spacecraft to join, and they must be present for the Master to enter in, if he or she is to merge with that soul, for the purpose of lifting that soul up.

     Of course, those students who could conceive of being so rebellious, knowing the Teaching on who the Beatles are, and yet to plan a performance with a Beatles tune, and to actually perform that Beatles tune on the Altar of the Holy Grail, that student has not even anchored the minimum components of the law that would allow the Master to enter the temple. Notwithstanding all outer appearances, that student, and the Master, have parted company long ago. I am again speaking of Church Manager Rev. Linda Worobec. That soul has forged new alliances, as I have noted above.

     When it comes to breaking laws, you can discern the extent of the state of mis-alignment that exists within by measuring the dimensions of the law they have broken without, in terms of the law's depth and breadth. In the world of manmade laws, there is difference between jay walking and armed robbery for example. The laws that these individuals are breaking, are so fundamental, that you can readily conclude that the condition of misalignment is so grotesque, as to totally bar the entry of the Master into their temples for the purpose of raising them up.

     The refusal to apply due process safeguards to the exercise of institutional power in this organization is at that same fundamental level. Those who stand steadfastly against the application of the resolution process in the Russia situation, and in my situation, and in the situation of Eva Baumann as another example, these individuals are in state of grotesque rebellion, and how did they get that way? At a particular point on the path, when the grace period comes to an end, they were required to start the process of surrendering pride. They refused, and the Master had to withdraw from them, and their worlds became ever more dark, they became ever more dweller-fused, and they became ever more vulnerable to manipulation by the false hierarchy as a result.

     Here is another point of analysis, that can communicate to those who are observant, the truth, that those who retain pride, who will not admit their mistakes, who will not assimilate the spirit of contrition and penance, these souls do not know the experience of the sacred fire. They know it not. And they should be pitied for their foolishness, for they cling to the hand that leads them into the abyss of self-destruction.

     Though I will admit of the presence of a factor of significant confusion in the minds of these individuals. It is the principle that has to do with the sun shining on both the just and unjust. In a given group decree service, you will have a large number of sincere souls, who are firmly anchored on the path, and the calls of these souls bring forth a response from the Master. The electronic presence of the Master is merged with these souls, and these souls are lifted into the domain of the sacred fire. And their auras are bright with the very light that has delivered this sacred fire, or perhaps it is the other way around. The sacred fire comes first, and the light radiates from the sacred fire. Whatever. Their auras are very bright, and they are radiating light, and they are as the sun in the heavens, and their light will fall on both the just and the unjust. And Church Manager Linda Worobec, being amidst this great Light, and others in leadership who are totally dark inside, will feel the warmth of the sun on their skin of their four lower bodies, and it feels good, no doubt about it, and she can say, look, I have a tan too. But it is only skin deep. But nevertheless, in her pride, in her delusions of self-righteousness, this association with those who have light, only reinforces those delusions, making the dweller of pride more and more powerful, and more and more stubborn.

     There is only one true sign of the presence of the light, at levels below the skin. It is humility. It is the capacity to admit a mistake, express a genuine spirit of contrition, show a willingness to perform a penance, and to face the consequences associated with that mistake, whatever they may be. We do not see this from any member of the Board of Directors, we do not see this from the Church Co-Presidents, and we do not see this from the Church Manager. If they protest, and say they have it, they must prove it, on the doorstep of August 29, 2003. We say, show forth your Light! We demand it! And this is the only way to do it.

     Of course, we must consider this fact, that even as the student is successfully surrendering the dweller, and assimilating the law, and receiving the Master's intercession and mentorship, and even serving productively and constructively, in terms of their purposes and plans, that the electronic belt is still cram packed with patterns of untransmuted rebellion. Now, this should not be any problem for those who have developed a momentum of surrender and sacred fire immersion on the path, because these untransmuted patterns of rebellion come up for transmutation only incrementally, and the soul is never faced with a test that is beyond its current capacity to pass, that is, if it will only summon all of its resources in the effort. Some tests, emerging out of the electronic belt require this Herculean effort, some are easier, and some take no effort at all, going into the flame completely at the beginning of the day with the morning calls. But there is always the possibility for the soul to make a mistake, taking the counsel of the dweller as real, and in the outpicturing of that destructive intent, do some significant damage. No problem for the humble soul. Admit the mistake. Express the contrition you feel. Do your penance. Make amends. And then move forward on the path with the greater confidence you will have as the result of the many additional rewards the Masters have heaped upon you for your right choice. It is always so. You could see your mistake, you had a genuine desire to be forgiven, you accepted and performed your penance, and you know you were forgiven. And you know you are far less likely to make that mistake again, and that makes you a more stable and useful servant on the path.

     But, for those who stumble, and don't get up, it is possible that all that had gone before, could be turned to darkness in a twinkling of any eye. And this could be the story of many who might have been useful students prior to the coming of the infamy of Church Manager Linda Worobec, but who have allowed all of their light to be turned to darkness when confronted with the choice to challenge her, or to humor her. In humoring her, they made the wrong choice. They listened to the dweller of compromise, bowed down before it, and thereby offered unto this dweller the ankles of their own Christ Identity, upon which it clasped its shackles and chains. That spirit of compromise now rules everything they do, it is a new way of life for them, the old way past out of their memory like a flame in a lantern gone out for want of oil. The lantern is still there, but the flame is not. Such a soul cannot rise, until those chains are removed. And that means, while these souls might have known the presence of the sacred fire prior to this event, perhaps even on a daily basis, will know it no more. They live on a memory at best, and the common sunshine perhaps, but they are all sliding downhill into a greater and greater darkness.

     I believe that every member of the Board of Directors is in this sinking boat. Perhaps for some of them, perhaps for all of them, that boat used to ride high on the surface of a wide blue ocean. But it has long ago sunk under the surface of the astral sea, and is gliding steadily to the bottom. They live in fear today, and fear is how you describe the taste of the astral ocean. Physical oceans have a taste, very unique, salty and with other innumerable factors. And so it is with the astral ocean. The salt element has been replaced by fear. Fear is the primary characteristic now. And if they deny it, ask them why they did not implement the resolution process in Ketino's case. Ask them why they did not implement the resolution process in my case. It is because they feared implementing it, and they will not deny it. Certainly if they loved implementing it, it would have already been implemented. What you love, you embrace. What you fear and hate you push away. What have they embraced? What have they pushed away? It is clear enough.

     And so, fear by definition is astral. And astral is darkness, and torment. And because of it, because they have chosen to cling to it, they have set themselves outside of the Master's mentorship. And because the Masters can no longer enter in to lift them up, they are no longer receiving the experiences of the sacred fire that would wash away that fear. I hope these words penetrate to their hearts. They know these words are true.

     Elizabeth Clare Prophet was a good solid servant of the Masters for many many years. And if anyone deserved mercy, even as part of her life was tenaciously gripped by a self-destructive error, it was her. She deserved mercy, and the Masters extended it to her, to hold back the outworking of the law when it came to pass that she made a horrendous mistake in 1993. Though I think we have the testimony already, that the law was already beginning to bear down on her, and to narrow her own range of possibilities, from that point on. By 1996, the pressure of the law was so substantial, that circumstances required her to withdraw from the presidency of the organization. Under this great pressure, this was still in 1996, she was given the opportunity to reverse the mistake. She refused. And the outpicturing of the law accelerated from that point, to where she was forced to retire in 1998. The Masters set the law down upon her slowly, mitigating the pain as much as possible, and provided her with a soft landing zone, but the ultimate outcome was clear. The opportunity to serve and accelerate on the path, which she had willfully and without remorse denied to another soul, without basis, representing a wanton and callous act of injustice, had fallen down upon her own head, denying her the opportunity of finishing all of the precious projects that had so recently populated her hopes and dreams.

     In 1993, when she committed this mistake, she was looking forward to at least another 25 years of productive service. She had countless projects of great interest to fill those years. She looked forward with the sincere hope of realizing the most profound satisfaction, and the most grand personal fulfillment in her remaining years of service. But in just five years, her physical condition had deteriorated to such an extent, that she could no longer function, and she had to retire. And now her existence is as empty of productive activity, as that state of emptiness she imposed upon her victim, i.e. in terms of the Master's work. She denied her victim the opportunity to fulfill a divine mission. Now she resides in emptiness, not able to lift a finger in the fulfillment of her own. A cruel judgment? It is what exists today, a condition she brought upon her own head.

     The leadership should pay attention. Everyone should pay attention. When you exercise institutional power, you must do so justly, or the injustice you heap upon the head of another, will fall on your own head. The outworking of the law cannot be escaped.

     Well, that is not the end of this particular story to be sure. But, let us now pick up the thread of sacred fire anew.

     Surely, the sacred fire lingers with us after the initial descent, and it will ebb and flow, largely in step I think with the focus of our attention. The more clearly and doggedly we can lock our attention on divine reality, focusing on holding a posture of gratitude unto God for example, the more likely it is that the presence of the sacred fire will stay with us for extended periods of time.

     Now, I want to underscore this great truth. Each smiling sun that I have recorded in my journal, records a point in time and space, wherein a great power of the sacred fire descended into my temple, and washed away, as noted, a pre- existing state of consciousness that was mired to one degree or another, in the realm of human oppression. And each one of these events is recorded in the akashic record. This is the important point. Each one of these events is recorded in the akashic record. There are very precise coordinates associated with each recorded sun in this regard. And therefore, it is important to understand, that these are not simply baseless assertions or scribblings on my part. These are the footprints that the Masters have charged us to leave on the trail for others to follow.

     For the purpose of this evaluation, the student can ask the Master to set him, or her, in the midst of that akashic record, to experience the descent of that sacred fire for themselves, or some portion of it. I ask the reader to make that call. And as you experience this sacred fire, you will come to understand, that you have had this experience yourself at the Altar, it will be immediately evident, as to what it is. It is the greatest treasure given by the Master to those who are passing their tests.

     And when you finally understand that a person who is receiving the great rewards of the path, because that person is passing his tests, and is making the effort to be in alignment with the law, when you finally understand that that person is actually hated by the church leadership, to the extent that they feel they must excommunicate that individual, you will finally realize how far afield these individuals are, from serving the purposes of the Masters.

     Here is a person whose example can be safely followed into the brilliance of the Light, into a posture of success on the path, so let us quickly move to excommunicate him. Let us quickly move to destroy his credibility among the members generally. Let us quickly make leprosy appear all over his body, so that people will shun him, rather than embrace him. This is not the logic of the Christ.

     Now, is this exposition supposed to make the leadership feel even happier with me? That would be impossible. They have long ago refused to surrender their dwellers, and long ago made the necessary adjustments to their lives, having been cut off from the rewards of the path, they now get their rewards from acquiring positions of power, of status, and from the sensations of power associated with the exercise of control over the membership. They are the mighty generals on which the salvation of the planet depends. The Masters are now only distant abstractions in their darkened minds. They have made their decisions already, and the great momentum of self-justification they harbor, will now come to the defense of those decisions, forever and forever. These individuals will not be converted to the truth.

     I set this evidence before the community so that the members can get a better understanding of exactly who it is that is leading this organization. They are not Lightbearers. If they are not Lightbearerers, how can they lead the membership into a greater Light? It is impossible.

     It is important to comprehend this truth. The members of the current leadership do not experience the descent of the sacred fire into their own temples. This is a completely unknown phenomena to them. Those of you who are true students should think about this very seriously. Think about the times you go before your altar, and what you invariably face there is a thick opaque wall of opposition. When you face that wall, there is clearly no way through it. And the wall seems to speak to you, and it says, go away. It says, I am impenetrable. Don't waste your time with me. Why don't you go watch some TV? And sometimes it takes a great force of will to simply stand your ground and continue with your calls. And by and by, the Masters release the sacred fire into your world, and that wall disappears, and you are free from its oppressive falsehoods, you are free from its illusion of impenetrability, you are free from its grating pressure to drive you out of the sanctuary, and your consciousness now is merged into a paradise region, and there is only a presence there that you cherish, and you are amazed, and you think again how cherished it is that you have this opportunity to serve at the Altar, and how this opportunity is your saving grace.

     If you are a student on the path, you should know about this. You should know about facing this resistance every day, and you should be familiar with the experience of moving through that resistance by the power of the sacred fire that is released into your world by the Masters (in answer to your calls).

     Now, here is the point. When these individuals in leadership go before the altar, they face that wall, just like you and me. But this is the truth. They will make their calls, but the Masters DO NOT release the sacred fire that dissolves those walls. Why? Because they have not previously surrendered their dwellers. The wall we face, is the very substance of the dweller. That's what it is. When we pass a test, and we surrender our unreality in the course of that test, that choice is what allows the Masters to release the sacred fire to dissolve those walls. Those who do not pass their tests, who do not surrender their dwellers, the walls they face as they try to do their decree work, those walls do not dissolve. And to them therefore, decree services are a burden from the beginning to the ending. They never break through. It's hard work, from first to last. They don't have the experience, as described, that incrementally increases their gratitude for the sacred fire itself, for the path, and the Masters who make this experience possible. They don't have that. This is a totally unknown phenomena to them. That is why they will allow a Beatles tune to be played on the Altar of the Holy Grail, and think that it is no big deal. That is why they say no harm, no foul. They don't have the inner experiences that would tell them why it is a big deal. They don't have a clue.

     And so, in their pride, which resonates at the level of their dweller, and the astral plane, the course they chart is a product of astral influences only. Sure, just like the priests in the Catholic Church, they know the teaching, or enough of it to get by, and the clickity-clack of their computer brains process directional equations from the standpoint of a towering self-righteousness. I.e. the rightheousnss of the mortal and death- destined human ego draped all over with the robes of priesthood. What do I need to do today so I can look like, and feel like a priest in the eyes of other people? A word of sympathy here, a word of sympathy there. Gee, what a good and righteous person I am. A little compromise here, a little compromise there, the antidote to fanaticism itself. It's sweet like candy. And by the way, let all the peons kiss my feet. Which is to say, worship my ideas, even when they are completely out of step with the Teachings. I am in charge after all. Let obedience (to me) be the sign of spiritual attainment.

     And therefore, where do they lead the membership? They lead the membership into those same compartments of consciousness wherein they reside, and these are compartments of rebellion made cozy by many pillows of false hope. Like, we can refuse to get with the program, but somehow, someway, someone will come to save us. Yes, we have faith. And it comes to pass, that this condition is spread abroad throughout the membership. And so, not only must the Master's stand aside when it comes to the leadership, holding back the release of the sacred fire, they must stand aside for the great swathes of the membership as well, holding back the release of the sacred fire to them as well. They will not dissolve those walls for them either. When the soul has chosen by freewill to enter into a compartment of rebellion, the Master cannot dissolve the compartment, and set the soul free from it.

     What is the path to freedom for these individuals? It is in realization. The soul must realize, within the domain of the conscious mind, the extent of the error it has made, and it must release that error through the domain of the conscious mind. This is called passing tests. When tests are passed, this is a signal that the teaching is being assimilated. In this case, this allows the Masters to release the sacred fire that will not only set the soul free from its dweller substance day by day, but release the sacred fire that will buoy the soul up by ever increasing treasures unto the reality of its own Christ Identity. This describes what the leadership has refused to do, and which they know nothing about.

     I have set upon the table, the possibility, that some in leadership might have known about the real experiences of the path at one time. But I am familiar with the subject of memory. It is very difficult for the status quo consciousness to remember the experience of the sacred fire when those experiences are occurring every day. If these experiences are months into the past, as it must be for these individuals, there is no hope of remembering at all. It is as if they had never occurred. Their consciousness is filled only with the sensations of inertia now. Look at Sean Prophet. He knew these experiences. But he is completely and totally disconnected from those memories today. So sad. And perhaps he never really comprehended what they were at time, for it was written of old, that the light shone in the darkness and the darkness comprehended it not. This is true for most everyone for some time on the path. Doubts, like a school of so many pirana, chews up the soul's capacity to appreciate what the Masters give to the soul. Doubt takes time to defeat.

     And so, this is quite accurately, then, the beginning and the ending of the whole situation with Church Manager Rev. Linda Worobec, and her desecration of the Altar of the Holy Grail on July 4, 2003. This was a point of exposure that simply provided us with the information, and very useful information at that, that we have people in leadership who know nothing at all about walking a genuine Path of Initiation. This has far reaching consequences, if you would stop and think about it for a few moments. Those who are genuine students, who experience the sacred fire, and have a genuine love for the Masters, the Light they carry offends these individuals. That's right. When they confront a genuine student, the hair stands up on the back of their necks, and they are uncomfortable from the first. This is why they had it in for Ketino. They couldn't stand her. The Light in her offended them to a frenzy, and at the very first excuse, they called in their field goal kicker, and over the goal posts she went, three points.

     And so, we have before us here, in the excommunication of my soul from this church, another opportunity for exposure. Again, the leadership has made their judgment concerning me. You have read that judgment in the letter I have set before you. Though we have a couple more paragraphs to go. But at this point, I want to show you, that I have evidence that proves, that at the very same time that this totally false judgment was taking form within the minds of the leadership, that the Masters themselves were rendering a totally opposite judgment.

     When you grasp the full implications of this evidence, you will understand that it points to the presence of a very strong momentum of darkness, rebellion and stubbornness, within the very fabric of the minds of the Board of Directors, and the Co-Presidents, and the Church Manager to name the most obvious focal points.

     I ask the reader to lock into the great treasure represented by each recorded sun included in these journal scans, ninety-one (91) recorded smiling suns during this 35 day period alone, and add that all up, to produce a conclusion, that here truly is a soul who is doing the Master's work, a soul who is being rewarded for that work, a soul whose example can be safely followed, in terms of speaking the truth, standing one's ground, not bending down before any compromise of the law and the Teaching, and demanding accountability by the leadership thereto.

     Truly this information will show that this soul can be appreciated as a steadfast friend of truth. But, and quite paradoxically, from the perspective of the current leadership, this soul is a speaker of lies, and worse, whom they have judged worthy of excommunication. Who has delivered the more accurate judgment? Is it God and the Masters? Or is it the current leadership? This is what the membership of this church must decide.

     I apologize for my handwriting, if you can call it that. I am a scribbler, always in a hurry. I want the words to appear on paper as fast as I can type them. I can write that fast, but as you can see, not entirely legibly. I will offer clarifications as necessary. Before we begin looking at this body of evidence, here are some of the more common abbreviations that you will find:

1. O.S. - Opening Statement - always done in a group of three.
2. H.M. - Hail Marys, according to the wording of our church.
3. @ - "at" sign.
4. v.f. - violet flame.
5. s.f. - Sacred Fire.
6. TOL - Tube of Light
