A Beautiful Meditation
on The Inner Retreat
I would like to share with you a beautiful
meditation on the Heart of the Inner Retreat, which will allow your soul to merge,
with the help of the angel devas which ensoul all aspects of the land, with the beauty
of the entire Inner Retreat region, and with an important surprise at the end.
We
begin by repeating this sentence, committing it to memory, so you can speak it
with your eyes closed. You want to follow the crystal stream, in your mind's eye
from the slopes of Electric Peak, through several miles of paradise, and into the
Heart of the Inner Retreat. Repeat this about nine times.
Hail the Glorious Beauty of the Crystal Stream!
which flows from the High Country, even from
the very slopes of Electric Peak, through many
dimensions of paradise, into the Heart of the
Inner Retreat!
After repeating this matrix nine times,
we follow the crystal stream through the Heart of the Inner Retreat, through
many more miles of forest and mountain land to the point where it merges with
the Mighty Yellowstone. Let your mind follow the crystal stream along this
course as you repeat this three times.
Hail the Glorious Beauty of the Crystal Stream!
That flows from the Heart of the Inner Retreat,
through many miles of forests and canyons to
to meet and merge with the Mighty Yellowstone!
And here is the great surprise which
unfolds for us at the very end. Repeating this three times.
Hail El Morya in the Midst of the Mighty Yellowstone!
Hail El Morya in the Midst of the Mighty Yellowstone!
Hail El Morya in the Midst of the Mighty Yellowstone!
Well Met, my Blessed Brother, One Huge Hug for you!
Well Met, my Blessed Brother, One Huge Hug for you!
Well Met, my Blessed Brother, One Huge Hug for you!
For a truth, I can report to you that he is
there, in the midst of the Mighty Yellowstone, representing the flow of the mighty
waters of illumination, and of course, Morya being the Hierarch of Gemini, the
Gold of God-Wisdom for the planet, his presence there should be of no surprise.
I would just mention, that there is nothing
abstract about the Crystal Stream. It is right there in the physical, an awesomely
beautiful mountain stream, which in fact does flow, year round, having its origin
in the snowfields on Electric Peak, and made beautiful by God's Angel Devas, as
all mountain streams are, wherever you find them, as a focal point for the soul to
contact, as a proffered hand of divine assistance, helping our awareness to merge
with the Beauty of God, which is very deep.
May you pass every test.

Dear Sean,
Greatly Loved
Son of the Most High God
Given the fact that I have been banned, in the most exhuberent spirt of Marxist Totalitarian Control, from posting any additional
material to Sean Prophet's Black Sun Journal, if my responses are to find a public outlet, I have no other option but to post them here.
And so, I would begin by saying, Dear Sean, Greatly Loved Son of the Most High God, and as I explained before,
this opening salutation, which you have seen before, represents the truth, so bite a bullet if you have to. (Remember: A negative reaction to the truth is defined as a
condition of unreality operating in your emotional body. And from there it extends a chain around your mind, like a collar around a slave.)
(For those of you who believe that Sean Prophet, in his current state of mind, is not worthy of this high accolation, please tell
me, what father, seeing his son in a delirium brought on by alien viruses, will withdraw his love? Seeing the life of that son flicker and fade at the very edge of life's
boundry, won't the father's love become more intense and have about it a sense of great urgency? Won't the father travel many miles in the dead of night, cross many
raging rivers, and dodge stormy blasts uncountable, just to find a physician who can come to the bedside? I believe so. That is the Nature of God. And if the patient
take a baseball bat to the head of the physician, what is that to thee?).
Additionally, I would also have you know, Sean, that you have a very precious brother and sister in Helios and Vesta, who
together ensoul the Sun of this system. I understand that you are currently in a state of forgetfulness, obviously, in regards to this important family relationship, but I
can assure you they have not forgot. No sir. (Indeed, miners trapped underground, nearly aphixiated by the stagnant gases, are not forgotten by their families.)
Truly, in their presence, the only thing you can think about is giving them great hugs of appreciation. Tell me if that doesn't ring a bell? How would you like to spend
some time in one of their research and development laboratories? Now, there is what you would call HIGH techology. You have done so in the past, and you
can have the memory restored. And you can visit them again. All flower designs originate with them by the way, all of them chosen as crystallized representations of
great points of divine truth, which the angel devas are then given the task of outpicturing in the physical.
Getting to the point of this communication, then, I would like to respond to your latest statement on fractals, a statement
posted on your blog, which was a response to my correspondence. 
(See BSJ for 6/14/2006: Argument for Design (Ad Absurdum)).
I intend on responding paragraph by paragraph, but first, I want to provide a general response to an assertion you made previously in regards to this subject area.
You claimed that these computer generated patterns (based on fractals - a term derived from the word fractured) were as beautiful as any flower found in
nature. I wanted to explain why such an idea is simply incorrect. The term "beauty" has several dimensions, none of which are present in the computer generated
fractal pattern.
General speaking, these computer generated fractal patterns are missing the element of LIFE, which has several
fundamental dimensions.
Let's use the rose as an example. This rose, which is just starting to unfold from the bud, is growing in a curb-side garden on
the corner of Wendy Drive, which I pass by on my walk. I stopped to take a photo of it, and include it here, to provide a visible illustration of the points I would like
to make.
This flower, that you see above, has come into being by a process that includes the assimilation of light, which has traveled more
than 90 million miles through space from a gigantic sun center. This, by itself, is a very important dimension of beauty which this flower expresses. It lives only by
virtue of that gigantic sun center, millions of miles distant. The image to the left is of the sun, viewed through the early morning mist. The process by which the plant
assimilates light, and uses light to fuel various additional internal processes, is known as photosynthesis. This process of photosynthesis, by itself, is an enormously
complex and wondrous process, before which all of us bow down with considerable appreciation and reverence. I believe this is true for you. This process,
photosynthesis, represents another very important dimension of the beauty of the flower itself. Which is to say, the processing of light representing as it does, the
essential means of existence, speaks to the soul very deeply, as its spiritual life also requires the assimilation and the processing of light. Light fuels order and
abundance. Darkness allows the spirals of decay and chaos to take hold.
Moreover, we see that the plant on which the flower has its being, is altogether a living organism, drawing, through various
dynamic life processes, water and nutrients from the earth mother, at the same time as it processes carbon dioxide gas from the earth's atmosphere. In this regard, the
plant is merged with a larger biosphere, which is very complex, yet totally harmonious. In other words, it harmoniously incorporates the input of much larger
dimensions of reality into its being. That is another very important dimension of the beauty you see in the real flower.
Then we see that the form of this flower unfolds as galaxies of atomic structures moving in perfect harmony, one element as
compared to the other. This process of perfectly harmonious unfoldment of many complex elements, is another important dimension of the beauty which the flower
expresses. In this regard, it both represents and expresses a tremendous level of mastery and control over the building blocks of matter. By comparison, the painter
can express a degree of mastery over his colors and brush strokes in only a very crude manner. But here, in the rose, and in all flowers, we see an artistry in three
dimensions, the gracefully unfolding dance of atomic galaxies, which makes the sense of beauty attached to this creation, thrice beautiful. This is a photograph of the
same flower, taken a few days later, after all the petals had unfolded. No competition or conflict. Every petal unfolded alongside its brothers and sisters in perfect
harmony, and each has its place, unencumbered by any other petal, all of which, taken together, comprise the whole.
And of course, the plant itself produces oxygen that we can breath. In other words, the plant to which the flower is attached, and
from which it derives its being, produces something that is essential, biologically essential, to the existence of human beings. That is another important element of the
beauty of the flower. Yes, that flower, is a marker, for a great truth, that without these plants, we could not survive. In other words, each flower tells us that the
source of our existence is not wholly within ourselves.
And then too, the flower is the reproductive mechanism of the plant itself. The flower, in this respect, represents the means
by which the plant's existence, as a viable species, and contributor to the biosphere, can be guaranteed. This is quite a deeply beautiful element as well, in as much as
the flower represents both the symbol for, and the fact of ongoing survival. And it brings to mind the concept of the seed, which will germinate, and unfold its
blueprint, in the same dynamic manner described, being harmoniously yoked to all elements of the larger biosphere. In our perception of the flower, then, all seeds
come into view, even that of the apple seed, from which a mighty tree can grow. This is part of the definition of beauty --- that which can amaze us.
And moreover, in as much as the flower represents the reproductive process, this evokes the recollection in man, though at
sublime levels, that this is indeed, one of the most beautiful aspects of his own existence, i.e. his relationship with the opposite sex, and the very process of
pro-creation, whereby new life opportunities are provided for incoming souls.
At this point, you might think that I've exhausted all the dimensions of the beauty of the flower, but not so. There is one
more that is worthy of mentioning, and that is the production of this phenomena that we know as fragrance, which bestows an experience of inner beauty upon any
one who will suffer to draw the fragrance into the nostrils. Is this not an awesome dimension of life dynamics, where the inner essence of one important aspect of
creation, can invoke within, i.e. INSIDE of another, an experience of sublime beauty and pleasure? I think so. Here is an inner experience that is universal, that
everyone experiences as pleasant, the fragrance of a rose, or honey suckle, or lavender, and so forth.
The subject of fragrance is one of the most fundamental illustrations of conscious design, in as much evolutionary theory has
no explanation for how a flower will produce an emanation that will produce the sense of beauty inside the consciousness of man. That is an important point. The
beauty of the fragrance is manifest only within the CONSCIOUSNESS of man. Plants, having no consciousness as such, could not be triggered by any circumstance
in nature, to produce a fragrance, i.e. emit a geometry of molecules which produce the impact of beauty upon the mind of man.
The flower is very deep and rich with multiple dimensions of life, the whole of which is intended to telegraph the reality of God
the Father to the soul, as the Creator of the whole complex system, to which the flower is functionally and dynamically associated. In the flower, the whole system
comes into view, and the whole system is awesomely beautiful, many dimensions deep, pouring forth the fragrance of a wondrous and mind-boggling level of
intelligence and artistry.
But that's not all. The flower, as you can see, serves as a food source for other aspects of life, humming birds for example,
and bees, and so forth. This too is rich in symbolic meaning, and therefore adds another dimension of beauty to the flower. In other words, this symbolic meaning
touches the soul, and produces the sensation of beauty. Indeed, all of the meaning and beauty embodied in the flower, is intended (by the designer) as a food source
for the soul, of which, as you can see, a mighty banquet table has been laid before us.
To support this particular observation, we can observe, as a general rule, that all flowers are soft to the touch, and thus appeal to
this finer sensibility of mankind, which no other species has the capacity to register. In other words, when the flower is raised to the nostrils, its impact upon the skin
is designed to send the signal of softness to the mind of man. Softness is pleasing, which reinforces the observation that whoever designed the flower, did so to please
the soul of mankind.
This computer generated image which I suppose you must have considered as the best possible example of your case for fractal
beauty, has no softness, no fragrance, none of the dimensions of interconnectedness, harmony, and purposefulness that marks every bush/flower combination. There
is no LIFE in this image.
Moreover, in Nature, the qualities of elegance and grace mark the creations of God. This is certainly lacking in a computer
generated image, because you cannot program these qualities into the computer. The images you have shared, based on fractals, while intellectually compelling,
cannot rise to the standard of beauty, grace, and elegance found in nature, all of which taken together has the capacity to please and comfort the soul.
There is certainly an intellectual magnetism associated with this image, and it engages the mind with aggressive force, with
all of its sharp points and hooks. But the end result is not pleasing, nor is it comforting. A tropical beach scene, white sand, waving palm trees, bright sun dancing off
the aquamarine water, is comforting, and millions of such images are sold every year which people gladly hang on their walls. This image to the left is the opposite of
that.
And moreover, your representation of the process of generating fractals as something that is more or less autonomous, is
misleading, as it does not comport with what you have presented here in this image to the left. You can see in this image, that one computational scheme is
represented by the nautilus form. Those other shapes, in between the nautilus divisions, represent conscious interventions, which had to be consciously programmed
by the author. In other words, in between each reiteration of the nautilus shape, the programmer had to insert at least two additional routines to modify that area
based on another fractal: one in terms of rendering the background, and the other in terms of rendering the wave and tree like structures on the main form itself. (The
whole effect being to produce in the mind a sense of walking insect.) The fact that this image required a creative input on behalf of the author, contradicts the point
you are trying to make. My sense of the point you are trying to make, is that beauty is not the result of conscious design choices. But, you present this as an example
of beauty, yet, inherent in this, we see conscious design choices made by the computer programmer.
May you pass every test. And don't forget to visit the
pearl while you are here.

Preparing the Way
As we write our sentences on the black board, "I must do
everything in my power to prepare the way for the day when the Master El Morya will bring millions
of souls into this organization", as we meditate on what we can do in this regard, as we focus our
attention and what really needs to be done in this regard, one of the most important things that comes to mind
is the establishment of a system of due process checks and balances, where people cannot be summarily
dismissed from
the organization on the whim of the top leadership. Certainly, with the greater numbers, we will
see greater challenges in this area, in terms of having more people speaking out and challenging
things that are not right, and thus a greater pressure on the leadership to discredit those whom
they see as trouble-makers, and to shuffle them out of the organization clothed in a layer of verbal tar
and feathers.
If someone in the organization is being accused by
the leadership of some offense that they believe represents an offense against the rules and
regulations of the path of initiation, like speaking the truth, let this be properly adjudicated
according to the principles of fairness and justice. On this point, we could begin the process
by adjudicating my own case, wherein this humble editor was cast out of the organization, without
any due process procedures, and this in violation of the principles which were supposedly in play
in the organization at the time.
And of course, let this apply to charges of corruption
directed at the members of the leadership itself. When such charges are put forward, let
members of the leadership stand in this same dock, and have their day in court.
On this point, this system of due process checks and
balances could be set up today to process the case of Church Manager Rev. Linda Worobec.
With millions of new souls coming into this organization,
the issue of leadership accountability becomes ever more important. For example, let's say the
organization has several thousand members today. Under the current situation, in regards to the
relative small numbers involved, we see that corruptions in leadership can only spread to the minds
of several thousand souls. The Masters keep this corruption in check by not sponsoring any major
expansion. Perhaps only sponsoring those who are sure to speak up and challenge wrongdoing,
allowing for a growth rate much slower than a blade of grass. But if millions of souls were called
into the teaching today, this corruption, which this leadership
has made into sacred doctrine, would spread to millions. This is something that the Masters will
not allow to happen. So, it is important that a process be instituted, whereby corruption in
leadership can be effectively challenged, and those who will not bend the knee before the
requirements of the path of initiation can be shown the door in a civilized manner.
It is ironic, to say the least, that these individuals who now
cling to their leadership posts as if the future of the organization depends on them, are actually the
impediments to the expansion of that organization, and more so, that those who hold the key to
expansion, they have cast out.
It is simply impossible for the Master El Morya to invest
the energy resources necessary to bring millions of souls into this organization under the current
circumstances. When they arrive, the minds of these new members would be filled with the
corruptions associated with the current leadership, especially in regards to this absolutely upside
down idea that a Beatles Song can be performed on the most sacred altar on the planet, and that
there are no consequences associated with that, and that those who are involved in perpetrating
this deed need not be held accountable in any manner whatsoever, and that there are no
consequences associated with that. In this regard, this leadership has made the principle of
repentance a dead letter. And with it, dies the Path of Initiation unto personal Christhood.
When the leadership stands for a grotesque lie, the
Master cannot allow millions more to come under the influence of that lie, especially when it
is most definitely a path corrupting lie.
No, major expansion for this organization is being held
back, because the leadership has proven that they are not true to the Master El Morya in their
hearts. Yes, with their lips they are true to him. But in their hearts? No. In their hearts they
continue to rebel against the principles of truth and accountability which his chelas are
required to assimilate.
The answer is not to dodge the principle of personal
responsibility (when it comes to safeguarding the integrity of Maitreya's Mystery School) by
following this or that false messenger into a state of greater psychic delusion, but to stand our
ground for the truth, here and now. Let the mission of this organization be redeemed by those
who can find their true hearts of courage.
Happy Father's Day.
May you pass every test.

Future Vision
President George W. Bush will share the historical
lime light with the likes of George Washington, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King,
a small circle of luminaries who were inspired from on high to dedicate their lives for the
freedom of millions. There is no greater, or is there more noble a cause. And the judgment
of history will place a golden crown upon that bushy head, as they have done, and rightfully
so, with the rest.
We can see the end from the beginning. That is,
if the American people stay the course, for the leader is nothing, without the courage of
his people.
 Behold, the radiance of the torch of freedom
illuminating the landscape of Iraq in the year 2010, dissolving more and more of the shadows
of tyranny and fear.
Behold the year 2015. The radiance of this torch continues
to illuminate the landscape of Iraq, but it is brighter. And the greater radiance has dissolved more of the
shadows of tyranny and fear.
Behold the year 2020. The radiance of this torch continues to
illuminate the landscape of Iraq, and it is brighter yet. And the greater radiance has dissolved more of
the shadows of tyranny and fear.
Behold the year 2025. The radiance of the torch continues to
illuminate the landscape of Iraq, and it is brighter still. And the greater radiance has dissolved more of the
shadows of tyranny and fear.
Behold the year 2030. The radiance of the torch of freedom
continues illuminating the landscape of Iraq, and the light is so bright now, it spills over, and
brightly, its great rays shining now into neighboring countries, dissolving the shadows of
tyranny and fear to the north, to the south, to the east, to the west, upon whatever the light
touches, the shadows give way.
As every new generation comes forth under the
light of freedom and peace, they worship it the more, lending the light of their own hearts
to the radiance, a radiant devotion which the world honors, and the culture of Iraq, and
that of the Middle East at large, gives birth to many crystal rivers of creative endeavor
from which the people may freely drink, and grow prosperous themselves thereby. A
great region of wealth, and peace, blossoms forth, not based on the economics of oil
but upon the economics of freedom.
In the light of victory, victory over fear,
victory over terror, victory over all forms of tyranny, the hearts of the people, in
a grateful luminosity, will place the crown of honor upon George W. Bush
themselves, and so the history books will record.
May you pass every test.

Democrat Reality Check
Please analyze the arguments of these Democrats.
No matter how detailed their arguments are. No matter
how filled up with apparent rationalizations their arguments
appear to be. Ask these two questions.
First, what would the end result be, if their position had held
sway at the beginning of 2003? The answer is clear. All of
the Iraqi people would still be under the boot of Saddam
Hussein, their chance for freedom gone, and the chance
for a change in the situation in the Middle East, lost. And
Saddam free to move towards the reconstitution of all of
his weapons programs, many of which would have ended
up in the hands of terrorist organizations to inflict further
damage upon America. And America, having to face the
prospect of a Nuclearized Iran, without the options currently
provided by the presence of American forces in Iraq.
Second, what would the end result be, if their position
held sway today? The answer is clear. With the complete
withdrawal of American Forces from Iraq, the terrorists
would sweep into power, create a safe haven for
terrorists there, and having access to an unprecedented
treasure chest of oil revenue, use it as a launching pad for
terrorist attacks against the United States.
The Democrats are apparently offering the American
people a cold up of water, to quench their thirst for
safety, security, comfort, and freedom from war.
But what they really offer the American people is
brew of delusion, veritably a poison to knock out
the workings of common sense, allowing the nation
to be delivered into a state of greater weakness
and vulnerability than ever before. And with
weakness and vulnerability, that is when
war upon our own people is the most likely.
If America has any hope of remaining strong, and
winning the war against terrorism, the Republicans
must be voted back into office in the 2006 mid
term elections, and again in 2008.
This is simply reality.
May you pass every test.

Important Lesson to Be Learned in
the
Death of Terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi
When we make an effort to step in the
direction of one of God's highest priorities, God our Father will step in our direction,
helping us to achieve one of our highest priorities.
This is the lesson embodied in this enormously
important event, when U.S. Forces finally had all their ducks in row, and were able to
take this terrorist down.
It is no coincidence, that the way was made straight,
pardon the pun, in relationship to the elimination of this violent and destructive terrorist cancer,
in the person of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the number one al Qaeda leader in Iraq, at the very
same time the U.S. Senate made an attempt to place in the U.S. Constitution a nationwide ban
on homosexual marriage.
This irreversible and undeniable historical conjunction speaks
volumes. Indeed, many trumpets from on high have sounded, sending forth a message to every soul
in America, that our national security is directly linked to the arresting of America's precipitous slide
into another cultural sewer the likes of which have not been seen since the Biblical Sodom and Gomorrah.
America's soldiers, try as they might, will be no more effective
in this war on terrorism, than the keystone cops, as long as the nation turns its back upon the priorities
of God. But the very second we turn our attention towards the issue of the moral health of our nation,
and this is what God our Father is interested in, He will breathe supreme intelligence into our military,
making the crooked way straight, allowing them to defeat our enemies with a snap of the fingers.
May you pass every test.
