     What are we fighting for in Iraq?

     We fight to set free the people from the rulership of blood thirsty killlers. That's what it's all about. That's what we have in America. That's what people in every nation deserve. That's what the people in Iraq deserve. They deserve to live free from the terror which blood thirsty killers would impose upon them from government positions of power. Democracy means that the good people have a chance to put good people in government, and to keep bad people out. Just as American's have that freedom, so too do the Iraqi people deserve to have it.

     May you pass every test.

     Morality requires that the course you choose in Iraq would be the one most likely to leave the Iraqi people in a state of constitutional freedom comparable to that which we enjoy in the United States.

     May you pass every test.

     When considering the best form of government for our church, it would be useful to recognize an important fact, that our church exists within a larger national framework of life and culture which is dedicated to the safe guarding of the flame of freedom. The flame of freedom, as you know, only has its being, in the heart of the common man. It is his freedom, the freedom of the individual, that our national and state governments were established to protect and defend. Freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, the right to a jury trial, and freedom from cruel and unusual punishments, are a few of the basic rights that comprise the definition of liberty.

     It is also important to understand that this larger national framework that we see dedicated to the protection of the flame of liberty was established through the direct sponsorship of the Ascended Masters. That means that the ocean of freedom that the American people swim in, was an ocean extended to them out of the very Heart of God.

     Now, just as there would be something quite disconcerting about the presence of a tumor of anti-intelligence within an otherwise intelligent brain, I would point out that there is something quite discordant about a situation in which an organization would exist as a byproduct of this environment, really having life only because of this environment, one in which freedom is championed, one in which state and national laws guarantee the right for this organization to exist, a right than cannot be taken away without due process of law, yet within the walls of said organization, the core principles of freedom are given no special regard. I am speaking about the situation that obtains within the walls of Church Universal and Triumphant, and the Summit Lighthouse, in which the leadership refuses to institutionalize the principle of due process of law, which is in fact the keystone in the arch of liberty. Or you might say, that the principle of due process is the spine in the body of freedom. In both cases, whichever metaphor you prefer, if you remove it, the keystone in the first instance, or the spine in the second, the flame of freedom collapses. That's right, the flame of freedom collapses. A point we will return to.

     Within the larger context, within which this organization exists, we see that there are two major threats to the freedom of the people. The first avenue by which freedom can be denied to an individual is through anarchy, where criminal elements steal property and life for short term gain. And for this reason, governments are instituted among men, as the Declaration of Independence proclaims, to establish order, and to safeguard the rights of the people. The second avenue by which freedom can be denied to an individual, is through the misuse of government power.

     Government protects us from anarchy by establishing a police force which will arrest and imprison the criminal element. But this very police power of the state, if that power falls into the hands of the criminal element, can be used against the people in a manner as least as damaging, and sometimes more damaging to the rights of the people.

     The people protect themselves from the misuse of government power through the judicial branch of government, which guarantees to the people, that government power is exercised only according to the principle of due process of law. This is a safeguard. The principle of due process is like unto a shield that will protect the individual from the misuse of government power. Due process means just that. Due process. It means an evaluation process which is due the individual by right. Before the hammer of state power can fall on an individual, an orderly process of evaluation must be initiated to determine whether the principles of justice require that hammer to fall. This evaluation process makes sure that the power of the state is being exercised in a proper manner.

     To illustrate the importance of this principle, we can take a situation in which the police believe a crime has been committed, and they identify the person who they think is the culprit, and they arrest him, and throw him in jail. Each of these steps in which state power is exercised against an individual is reviewable by a court according to due process principles. The police must adhere to due process principles in the investigation of the crime, and in the arresting and jailing of the suspect. One of the first principles of due process, is that a suspect can only be arrested if an actual crime is committed. That means a law must have been broken. The process of the arrest itself must be a legitimate outpicturing of the process of codified law. A police officer cannot just arrest and throw someone in jail on a whim, or for the fun of it. If the suspect can show that he was thrown into jail without just cause, the court will order him set free. When you hear the term Habeus Corpus, this is what is being referred to. It is one of the brightest stars in the due process constellation. So, before there is any trial, the individual has due process rights that allow him to expose the misuse of police power even at this early stage.

     If it can be shown that the police acted properly in arresting the suspect, and there is just cause to hold him over for trial, there is another series of steps that the principle of due process requires, before the hammer of the state can fall on the head of the individual in the form of a punishment. The most important part of the due process guarantee at this point, is the one which divests the police of any further involvement in the decision (trial) process. Yes they give testimony at trial, but they have no further power to directly control the fate of the suspect. The case is handed to a prosecutor which will look at what the police have gathered in terms of evidence, and decide how to proceed. The prosecuting attorney having no vested interest in whether the police have identified the right suspect or not, or whether they have gathered enough evidence for a conviction, or whether the evidence is valid, brings a more objective view to the situation at this stage. This is part of the process of providing checks against the misuse of power. Only after an independent review of the evidence will the prosecutor decide to proceed to trial.

     The right to a jury trial is the next most important element of due process. Here again, the prosecutor is not given the power to decide whether or not the suspect is guilty. Yes, the prosecutor presents the evidence to a jury. But the power to decide guilt or innocense is taken out of his hands, and given to the jury. This again illustrates this important aspect of due process, in which the power to decide guilt or innocence is taken out of the hands of the people who have a vested interest in the outcome. Indeed, the prosecutor has a point of view, and would only bring a case to trial if he or she was convinced of the suspect's guilt. Lots of time and effort has been put into gathering up the elements of the case, all of which points to the guilt of the suspect. The prosecutor then, has a vested interest in the outcome. He believes he has done his job well. And he believes he has fingered the guilty party. As far as he is concerned, we might as well throw the switch right now. But wisdom and common sense say, not so fast. The system will not allow him to make the decision. We find a group of people who are as objective as human nature can be, who vow to consider the evidence objectively, and we place the decision of guilt or innocence in their hands. Is the evidence sufficient to convict the suspect of a crime? They will decide. Not the judge, not the prosecutor, and not the police. But a group of fellow citizens. The accused is allowed to present his side of the story before that jury as well. When the jury has heard both sides of the story, heard all the witnesses testify, and had an opportunity to examine all the evidence, only then is a judgment of guilt or innocence reached.

     But that is not the end of the process. Another very bright star in the constellation of due process, is the right to appeal. We give everyone who has been found guilty of a crime, in which the hammer of the state, in the form of punishment has been allowed to rightly and justly, we believe, to fall on the suspects head, the right to appeal the decision up to yet one additional level of objectivity, and sometimes more. Conviction in state courts can be appealed to state supreme courts, and even beyond into the federal system if there are federal issues at bar. Convictions at the federal district court level can be appealed at the federal appeals court level, and then up to the U.S. Supreme Court. And to top that off, if that was not enough safety built into the system, we give State Governors and the U.S. President the unchallengeable power to pardon people and to commute their sentences at their respective levels.

     What does this say about the conclusion reached by our founding fathers in regards to the capacity of the people to make right decisions about the fate of other people, especially about the fate of people they don't like? It was their considered judgment that the human race is error prone to a very high degree.

     We go through all of these steps because we know from history, that when imperfect people have power in their hands, the forces of darkness will target them for the purpose of creating pain and mischief and injustice in the lives of other people. From a comprehensive reading of history, the founders of our system of government knew that great damage had been done by unchecked government power throughout the history of human civilization. For those who will take the time to educate themselves on this subject, we see that there are innumerable illustrations of this peculiar tendency of human beings to uniformly alignment themselves to a misconception, and then, marching behind a banner of certainty in this regard, go to the nearest tree, and with great hurrahs, to lynch the innocent man.

     And so, on the one hand, experience has taught us wisdom, in not placing all power into the hands of any one person, or group of individuals. In our system of government, one branch makes the laws, another enforces the laws, and another adjudicates the laws. We separate that out so power cannot be consolidated. And on the other hand, we enforce adherence to principles of fairness wherever the power of government comes into contact with the people. That's what due process means. Wisdom enforces principles of fairness upon the people who exercise power. We don't leave it to chance. These principles of fairness are mandated by law, and thus they have become institutionalized in the larger American culture.

     In fact, we make it an offense against the law itself, punishable by fine and jail time, for any government official to knowingly sidestep the requirements of due process. That is how important this principle is to the survival of freedom in our nation, or any nation for that matter.

     Now, this is not just the context in which every American lives, it is the context in which this organization exists. Outside of the walls of this organization, the American people live and have their being in this ocean of wisdom. It is wisdom that recognizes human weaknesses. It is a wisdom that recognizes the propensity of power to corrupt the judgment of weak and imperfect individuals. It is a wisdom that recognizes the importance of ensuring the application of the principles of fairness and justice to all people. It is wisdom that recognizes the importance of designing, implementing, and maintaining safeguards, so that the power of the state cannot be used to damage, unjustly, the life of any individual.

     But this ocean of wisdom is not allowed to flow into this organization. The leadership has built walls to keep it out. When you build walls to keep wisdom out, what is there inside the walls, but the darkness of ignorance? And what goes unnoticed in the darkness, but acts of injustice? How could anyone feel comfortable with this situation in which the leadership has allowed this organization to become a black hole on the American landscape? The ocean of fundamental wisdom all around us, but not within us.

     This state of ignorance and injustice, has already allowed a great amount of damage to be done. And as a result an even greater darkness is weighing heavily upon the roof of this very organization in the following four ways.

     First, the misuse of power by higher echelons of leadership has already caused great damage to the lives of some people. There are many many examples. To illustrate this point, I would use the example of the destruction, the abortion, of the divine plans of the entire leadership of the Moscow Study Group in August of 2003. And for what crime? for speaking the truth. I would further illustrate this, by using the example of this humble author, whose divine plan was destroyed by this leadership team, and for what crime? Again for speaking the truth. And that only. There must be a check upon the extent to which leaders exercise power, and this is for the protection of the individual. As noted above, due process principles are supposed to provide a shield in this respect. Every member of this organization would want that shield to protect them, especially if it should come to pass that they came into conflict with the leadership. And so, this is also the requirement of the Golden Rule. If someone would want the protection of due process principles in their own life, and no one can deny they have this desire, then they must make the effort to ensure that others have the protection of due process principles in theirs. The Golden Rule requires this. In this regard, it is simply the requirement of Mercy. Just as the Masters require us to defend the innocent unborn in the womb, even if it is only an act of mercy, to shield the defenseless child from the groping instruments of death that enter the womb in search of the spirit of murder, so too do they expect us, and require us, to stop the abortion of divine plans, within the womb of this organization, when such abortions are contemplated and implemented by and through the misuse of power by any member of the leadership.

     Second, when individual missions are destroyed by the misuse of the power of the leadership, this greatly impacts the capacity of the organization to fulfill its mission. (For example, I believe the loss of Ketino was a huge setback.) People come into embodiment to carry a specific torch. The torch they are meant to carry, has a specific context. If they cannot carry their torch in the proper context, the torch itself will never ignite. And thus, the plan cannot be fulfilled. Let's say for example that a person comes into embodiment to bring a particular point of truth into a domain of high science that is currently ruled by a certain matrix of error that presents an obstacle to progress. Progress in that area is necessary for the whole plan to move forward. Now, if the forces of darkness maneuver circumstances in such a way as to cause the expulsion of that scientist from that area of work, they have both blocked the progress that he was sent to initiate, and moreover, they have destroyed his individual divine plan. There is no place else for him to put his key into the lock. Therefore, due process principles provide a check and balance against the unjust expulsion of key souls from the organization, whose sacred labor is essential for the success of the mission of the organization.

     Third, when the leadership uses the power of the organization to inflict damage upon particular souls, the entire membership must carry the karmic burden associated with the inflicting of that damage. When the membership stands by, and does nothing to try to protect individuals from the misuse of the power of the organization, when they do nothing to establish the shield of due process principles, the membership at large is held responsible for this, and they must carry the karmic burden. "For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers." (Matt 23:4) Yes, as noted, the misuse of power by the leadership, when unchecked, can destroy a life plan and mission, and the members must carry that karmic burden, which will take the form of a direct denial to them of the opportunity to fulfill their own life plan and mission. The law will not allow them to move forward into the light of their own divine Christhood, until they have balanced that karma, which means, they must remedy the situation that allowed, by the neglect of their own responsibilities, a particular life plan to be destroyed.

     A complicating factor emerges when false pastors are in control of the organization, as they will plant a false assurances into the minds of the congregation, encouraging them to believe that they are actually making progress up the mountain, or will one day make progress up the mountain. But it is not true. The law is the law. That which people cause to be inflicted upon others, must circle around and be inflicted upon them.

     The establishment, in this organization, of due process principles, must be the first step towards the balancing of this karma. And of course, the establishment of due process principles, will minimize the possibility that the leadership will be able to place more karmic burdens upon their shoulders in the future. Therefore, the establishment of due process principles is the only way that this karmic burden of mission-denial will be taken off the backs of the congregation. That means that the establishment of due process principles is the only way for this organization to move forward to fulfill its mission.

     Fourth, the establishment of due process is a very important lever, or wedge of light, that must be employed to defeat all the delusions of infallibility with which the monster of idolatry clothes and adorns the leaders of every religious organization. This is a huge problem, that of idolatry, as it, all by itself, is a path killer. As the dweller acting upon the center stage of leadership masquerades as the Christ, and is taken as the Christ by all onlookers, so is the dweller seen as the Christ upon the inner stage of the soul. The force of idolatry fools the soul into accepting the face of the dweller, both without and within, in the place of the face of the Christ. And that is a recipe for continued bondage and failure. To shatter that condition of bondage, the principle of due process can actually shine the light of truth into a fourfold cavern of pitch black ignorance: A) one wherein the fact is totally ignored, that human leaders have weaknesses that can be easily exploited, B) one wherein the fact is totally ignored, that there is an ongoing and ceaseless efforts of the false hierarchy to exploit those weaknesses, C) one wherein this important truth is totally ignored, that the false hierarchy has already been successful, and is currently succeeding, in exploiting the weaknesses of the leaders of this very organization, and D) one wherein the fact is totally ignored, that a great amount of damage has already been done. You see how the establishment of due process principles will have the effect of shining a light into the mind which brings each of these key points into active realization.

     The fact is, that the false hierarchy has already gone after the leadership of this organization from the very first to accomplish this exact kind of damage, which would heap the karmic burden of mission-denial upon the shoulders of the membership, and thus block the organization from fulfilling its mission, in as much as the mission cannot be fulfilled, as long as the membership continues to accrue and carry the very kind of karma that must continue to deny them entry into the Higher Light.

     We don't have to look too far to find a well documented example of this happening in this very organization, even under the very nose of the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet. It was in the situation of Rev. Susan Elizabeth Krister, in the mid 1980's, who used the power of her position, very close to the Messenger, even as the assistant to the Messenger, to damage many souls. It was certainly unfortunate that this situation was covered up by Elizabeth Clare Prophet, or we might have seen an outcry for the establishment of due process principles much earlier on. At the time, this situation was only known to staff members. The documentation describing it only surfaced years later. A copy of the disciplinary letter dictated by the Master El Morya in response to this situation was published on the front page of this journal. (See the Homeward Bound Journal Front Page for October 2004: Memorandum From El Morya:
The Discipline of Susan Elizabeth Krister).

     Even with such examples as this, it is interesting to note that while it is relatively easy for members of this organization to comprehend how the forces of darkness have pried into the weak spots of all the leaders of all religions in the past, and thereby heaped upon all the peoples of the earth, such mission-defeating karmic burdens, yet when it comes to one's own organization, the monster of idolatry takes hold of the mind, and refuses to allow it to conceive of the possibility that the same thing could be happening right before their very eyes! And so, it has come to pass, that the outplaying of the preceding three points has already been writ large upon the history of this organization.

     As to Mark Prophet, being the first Messenger, and because of his great devotion to the Master Morya, and because of Morya's devotion to his student, I have a sense that this was not a major factor in his life. In other words, he probably made the least number of mistakes in this area. But still, we must ask, why was Mark Prophet taken so quickly off the scene in 1973? What was the message written upon the wall for us by that event? It was a surprise to everyone. It very well could be, that the false hierarchy used one of his weak points against him, to cause him to destroy the divine plan of an individual who was made to appear as the enemy, but was not. And so he was required to pay the price, and quickly.

     Make no mistake about it. As long as the members of this organization stubbornly insist on maintaining the delusion of infallibility in relationship to all past messengers, you give all false pastors that come after, access to that same delusion, which you can be sure, they will carry forward to cover their own tracks as is currently the case.

     Remember the famous statement made by the Master El Morya in relationship to Mark Prophet: "If we waited until he [Mark] was perfect, the cause would have been lost."

     And so, not only have the Masters, in their dictations, stated flat out that their Messengers were not infallible, and that indeed, that they had already made some big mistakes, there is yet one more thing that we would do well to remember, and that is, for a person to hold onto this idea, that a particular human leader is infallible, represents an expression of rebellion against the First of the Ten Commandments, which says, 'Thou Shalt Have no other God Before Me." Only God is infallible. To cloth a human being with that quality is to make that person into a God. And that breaks the First Commandment.

     When people get upset therefore, when the subject of the errors of the Messengers are talked about in a sober manner, it is this force of rebellion that has a hold of the persons emotional body.

     The teaching on the Cosmic Clock highlights the veracity of this observation. Consider where the quality of idolatry is plotted. It is on the 10 o'clock Scorpio Line of God-Vision. This tells us that the quality of Idolatry has to do with the blocking of the soul's capacity to see clearly, obscuring the faculty of God-Vision itself. And the origin of the soul's propensity to indulge this misqualification of the flame is pointed to by the other end of that line, which is the the 4 o'clock line of God-Obedience, the perversion of that being disobedience and rebellion. This tells us that Idolatry and Rebellion go hand in hand.

     This shadow of idolatry is found in every religious tradition. And falls upon us, like the very shadow of the cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified. Why was he crucified? It was because the spiritual leadership of his day had been corrupted by the forces of darkness, and they used their power to destroy him. And so, in the very crucifixion of Christ we have the validation that spiritual leadership cannot be trusted to do the right thing at all times, not even those who ruled in the name of the Prophet Moses, and that mechanisms must be employed to shield the individual from acts of injustice.

     It is no coincidence that the Master Jesus made this exact point in a lengthy statement recorded in the Book of Matthew Chapter 23, thoroughly exposing the truth about the fact that false pastors find there way into leadership, and that they become multi-faceted instruments of injustice, which I have already reproduced below, and spoken about at length.

     And yet, even with this example, we see springing up in Jesus' own church the tendency of the people to believe in this delusion of infallibility, incorporating it into doctrine, and forcing it down the throats of the people for many centuries at the point of a sword. To this very day the people of the Catholic Church hold the Pope to be infallible. And the leadership of this church would walk in that shadow, and call it an illumined path. It is not an illumined path.

     Remember, that it was ultimately the decision of every Pope to uphold the false doctrines of Lucifer that had been woven into the Catholic canon, and to deny the entry of Ascended Master truth that would have overturned the lies that keep the people chained to the wheel of rebirth to this very day.

     That path of shadow that would have the people bow down and worship before the altar of infallibility, is a path supported by the forces of rebellion which desire to keep their options open, to maintain their opportunity to use people in leadership to destroy the divine plan of key individuals, and thus to set the plan of God back on this planet. This is the root of the emotional force that refuses to have due process principles enshrined in the system of justice in this organization. And this force operates in the lives of people through that condition of hardness of heart, which remains insensitive to the damage the forces of darkness would inflict upon defenseless individuals, through the organizations instruments of power.

     How many of you look at the destruction of the divine plan of all members of the leadership of the Moscow Study Group in August of 2003 and say, "So What?" Even as you cling to the idea that the leaders of this organization are not capable of making gross mistakes? The two points of blindness go hand in hand.

     The Ascended Masters are always for the Middle Way. On the one hand, they sponsor these Messengers, and they expect them to do their best. Yet, they understand that mistakes will be made. It is up for us to take a responsible course of action to compensate for the mistakes of leadership. That is the Middle Way.

     As compared to Mark Prophet, I believe ECP was more vulnerable, that she had more weak spots. Using ECP's weak points against her, the false hierarchy was able to manipulate her into destroying the divine plan of more than one individual, sending them spinning off in a contortion of resentment and defeat. Indeed, she denied due process to many. The end to which she came speaks to this. All the hopes and dreams she had for continued service were denied to her.

     I come back to the statement made above, that when due process principles are not honored, the flame of freedom dies. Who can say that the flame of freedom is alive and well in the world of Elizabeth Clare Prophet today? It is not, her freedom has been take away nearly completely, and there is a reason for that. But where is there room in the heart and the mind for an honest consideration of this reason?

     In this regard, another Catholic oriented shadow rests upon the minds of the members of this organization, that would teach the people, that when leaders come to a bad end, that this is always the Will of God, and that some great good is accomplished by the suffering. But that is at best a half truth. They did that with Christ himself, injecting into his death the idea that it paid the price for all mankind. But the Ascended Masters have said that the idea that Jesus was the only son of God, that was false, and that the doctrine of vicarious atonement was false too. That all of us are meant to put on the robes of Christhood, and that if people are to be saved from their past mistakes, and the karma associated with it, they must learn to carry their own burden, and to transmute it, by the violet flame, and by the application of other mechanisms of personal karmic responsibility.

     Certainly, the false pastors that have populated Christian doctrine with so much falsehood, made hay with the death and suffering of Jesus Christ. And so, beneath that shadow, which falls yet upon the minds of so many in this organization, we see the followers of Mark and Elizabeth Prophet doing the same with their sufferings. But the truth is, as to Jesus Christ, that his death on the cross was the result of his own personal karma. As so too should we look at the death of any person, no matter what is the circumstance, and also, in regards to the disease suffered by any individual no matter what is the circumstance.

     Truth is healthy. Both for the mind and the body. Let it be entertained without fear in both. And besides, the more focused we are on the fact that all of our actions have consequences, the more likely we will be to make that extra effort to conform our actions to the Law of God. And that will be all to the good.

     Consider the fact, then, that in Jesus' embodiment as King David, although he was devout in so many ways, he was actually behind the death of many under circumstances that were not just. It is recorded there right in the Bible. I think the most famous example was his lust after some foxy woman. He wanted to have sex with her so bad, and so often, like every day for the rest of his life, that he sent her husband off into a situation where he was sure to die. He had the power, as King, to bring about the certain death of that man, and that's what he did. And of course, that is murder. Even if you are only pushing someone onto somebody else's sword. And so, it is no coincidence that when the soldiers came to get him in the Garden of Gethsemane some centuries later, that he placed upon the record, this teaching, that those who live by the sword will die by the sword, or spear, as the case might be.

     And so it came to pass.

     And here is something else to think about. The Ascended Masters teach us about the Law of Karma, and that you cannot escape it. And they do this, so that we will be much more conscientious when it comes to our words and deeds in the moment. And of course, when cycles require certain burdens to be carried, it helps us to carry those burdens with more equanimity, inducing humility, and giving us an opportunity to make more of a straight line in the direction of God, than would otherwise be the case. In other words, we don't waste our time hating God, or feeling resentful, for putting something on us that we don't deserve. We take responsibility for it. Learning how to take responsibility is a very important virtue that the Masters would have their students embody. Given all this as being true, and it is, do you believe that the Master Jesus Christ would want to be responsible for inserting into the minds of the people the idea that acts of murder don't require any karmic accountability, or if they do, that this accountability can be dodged? He would be the first one to say, "Please Father let me bear my burden in front of the world, so there will be no question in their minds, that even this son, is not above the law, that when I did wrong, I paid the price for the wrong doing." The same words, I think would come out of the mouth of Elizabeth Clare Prophet as well.

     I say again, let the painful and disconcerting example which Elizabeth Clare Prophet presents to us, illuminate the minds of the members of this organization. She has been given the opportunity to pay down her karmic debt in front of our eyes, so that we can learn from her mistakes, and avoid them. What went wrong, that all opportunity had to be withdrawn from her? The answer is clear. The opportunity she withdrew from others, by the power of her office, had to be withdrawn from her. If due process principles had been incorporated in the processes by which she exercised power against other individuals, and this is the lesson, her actions would have been stayed, and destruction would not have fallen upon those individuals, and thus, history would have been different. She would not be in this position today. That's the lesson to learn.

     Let the wisdom which the Masters deem so essential for the survival of the flame of freedom in the American culture at large, have a place in this community. Let that ocean of wisdom flow into this community. Let there be a system of checks and balances established in this community that would protect individuals from being victimized by the leadership's misuse of power. Let every shining star in the constellation of due process be taken down from the sky, and set as shining jewels in all of the mechanisms that we have designed to guarantee justice, and to guarantee justice before the hammer of discipline and punishment falls upon any member of this organization. When the hammer of punishment hangs over any individual, and would fall precipitously, and unjustly, let the principles of due process be the shield that will deflect the blow.

     The all-American inventor, Thomas Alva Edison was a staunch Republican, and he brought us Light. Case closed.

     In fact, I don't think that the natural world ever produced such a creature that could be called a Democrat Inventor. That would be a classic oxymoron.

     May you pass every test.

Thursday, Sept. 27, 2007, 11:45 PM PDT

     We hear the Democrat Party and their leftist core constituencies incessantly complain about how the Bush Administration is trashing the U.S. Constitution, and in so many ways, giving us the impression that they are really attuned to the spirit of liberty, and that they are genuinely interested in protecting the people's freedom. But this impression is actually a sham. And this sham needs to be exposed.

     Indeed, with the adroit movement of one foot, adorned by the very sandal of Christ, they would have us believe, they give us the impression that they are loath to step on the delicate flower of the people's freedom. Yet, if you would just look over to the other foot, you would see that heavy iron boot of cold hearted insensitivity is coming down hard upon an entire garden, gleefully and self-righteously exultant in the way that heavy heel is grinding those tender stalks into the dry and parched earth.

     A case in point, for the sandal adorned foot, is their incessant harping on the issue of warrantless wire taps (of foreign origin communications) that are authorized under the Patriot Act to allow for the quick identification and apprehension of terrorist operatives. Listening to them, you might really come to believe that they are sincerely worried about a government official listening in upon an American citizen, without justification. Yet the odor of this foot, in the way it helps the terrorists dodge detection, points to what the other foot is actually doing. Look over there, please and see what it is doing.

     The case in point, for the boot adorned foot, is their advocacy of a quick reduction and pullout of U.S. Forces from Iraq, which would allow the government of Iraq to be taken over by terrorist forces, who would not respect any star in the universe of constitutional rights. Not one. The terrorists would make whatever laws they wanted, without restraint. They would enforce those laws without restraint. They would limit speech without restraint. They would limit the press without restraint. They would limit the movement of the people according to whatever whim, and there would be nothing to restrain them from doing this. They would limit the ability of the people to assemble, and there would be nothing to restrain them from doing this. They would limit the content of conscience and belief without restraint. They would dictate the people's religion without restraint. For those who oppose them, their doors they would break down without restraint. They would search anything and everywhere without restraint. They would take whatever property they desired, without restraint. They would cart off people to jail without restraint. And they would leave them to rot there without restraint. Habeas Corpus? Habeas what? They would torture people without restraint. The people would have no guarantee or protection against any kind of cruel or unusual punishments. They would murder, kill, and maim the people without restraint. The women of the nation would be raped without restraint. The daughters of the people would be taken into the bedrooms of the leaders without restraint. The people would have no recourse, none whatsoever, to challenge anything the government wanted to do. Due process of law? Due process of what?

     As far a living under the constellation of constitutional rights, the Iraqi people lived in the dark ages under Sadam Hussein, whose hero and spiritual guide was none other than the Soviet Dictator Joseph Stalin, and this was true up until that fateful day in March of 2003 when the blanket of fear and repression was thrown off by the merciful hand of American and British military forces. For a brief moment the stars of freedom appeared, and the people were hopeful, and things looked bright, at least for a season. But this light increasingly fanned the anger of the terrorists. Every time the Iraqi's went to the polls to vote, more stars of freedom appeared in the constitutional constellation. As the light of freedom became stronger and stronger, the terrorists became more and more determined to snuff it out before it became a permanent fixture in the sky. And we see them inflicting therefore every conceivable terror upon the Iraqi people, intent on throwing that blanket of fear and repression over them once again. And you know what, the Democrat Party is doing everything they can to help them succeed in doing just that.

     Indeed, while enjoying the freedoms hard won by previous generations, these Democrats love to direct our attention to the stars in our constitutional constellations. They know their names, and they can point them out in the sky at need. And discourse upon the value of their light at length. But they would also, with the hand they keep behind their back, help the terrorists pull the suffocating blanket of fear and terror over the entire nation of Iraq, so that no Iraqi would ever see one of those stars shining their constitutional sky ever again.

     Listen to them complain bitterly over the possibility that one in ten million American citizens might have an email conversation monitored by the U.S. government, even though that citizen would retain full access to the courts to remedy any injustice done. While they show such a remarkable level of sensitivity to the evil of that situation, on the other hand, they show a total lack of understanding, indeed, a level of total blindness and insensitivity, to the fact that their policies in regards to U.S. involvement in Iraq, if implemented, would remove the only stabilizing force that Iraq knows, on which the future of freedom depends, which would open the way for the victory of the terrorist forces, which would immediately place all 28 million Iraqi's in chains, and under the boot of a brutal totalitarian regime, where not one person in 28 million would ever again have the hope of access to a court of law that would restrain the government from illegal and unjust acts of any kind.

     The actions of the Democrat Party, and the policies they champion, would deny to the Iraqi people, well within the scope of the definition of totalitarianism, all that they deem so important to have for themselves, when it comes to sacred Constitutional Rights.

     That is called rank hypocrisy at its deepest and most disgusting levels. What, pray tell, could be at the root of such rank hypocrisy? What pray tell, could be the root cause of such a division of the heart, where half of it is devoted to defending the prerogatives of the self, and the other half devoted to a course of action that would result in the enslavement of tens of millions of people?

     This is what the Democrat Party has in common with the Terrorists themselves, which is a vulnerability to astral manipulation.

     On the one hand, you have the forces of darkness pouring the highest degrees of hated into the emotional bodies of the terrorists. These individuals are like puppets lashing out, mindlessly, at the best friend the Iraq people have ever had, and that is, the American Military. Upon the foundation of their sacrifice only, will the Iraqi people have the opportunity for freedom.

     On the other hand, you have the forces of darkness pouring the highest degrees of hated into the emotional bodies of the Democrat Party, and their leftist core constituencies. These individuals are like puppets, beating their drums for the downfall of George W. Bush, lashing out, mindlessly, at policies that have in view the freedom of not just the Iraqi people, but the freedom of all the peoples of the Middle East.

     Why is it, that the Democrats appear to be doing exactly what the terrorists want them to do? It is because they are being manipulated by the same force, which is working to a common goal, of enslaving the Iraqi people. It is an intensity of hatred the shuts down all normal moral calculations. That explains exactly why they would counsel American withdrawal from Iraq, while knowing full well that such a withdrawal would produce a bloodbath of unfathomable proportions, and the enslavement of the nation of Iraq for decades, if not centuries to come.

     Just as the terrorists identify with the hatred that flows through them with such intensity, allowing that force to populate their minds with endless justifications, and plans and programs for its expression, the same is true for the Democrats. They have no idea they are being manipulated. When they feel that intense hatred for President Bush and his policies, they really believe that hatred is their own. But it isn't. No individual has the power to stir up a level of hatred within themselves that can overcome the voice of their own conscience, and their allegiance to what is morally right. That level of hatred is always projected from without, from hordes of demons on the astral plane.

     Jesus Christ understood this equation, and gave us the key to protecting ourselves from such manipulation when he said, "Love your enemy." An admonishment that no Democrat leader is obeying.

     But, whether they know it or not, at least you know, now, what is at the core of all hypocrisy.

     And you can see, that when the nation turned away from God, in the banning of school prayer in 1962, and in the legalization of abortion in 1973, and in the promotion of homosexual rights beginning in the 1990's, that we have turned our national back upon the solution to this problem. Only the Angels of God can stand in between the people and this demonic influence. And they can only intercede if the people ask for help, and they can only offer help if the people show obedience to his laws.

     May you pass every test.

     For a butterfly caught in a web, what is the most meaningful expression of God's Love? It is to set the butterfly free.

     This is where we begin our observations concerning the functionality of Divine Power.

     Consider how the forces of doubt and fear entrap us upon the very web of anxiety, the antakarana, as it were, of the false hierarchy. Thereupon the mind is clouded with a false logic, which has the soul believing that to struggle with the web itself, that this is the path to freedom. Yet, is this not, in truth, the path to further entanglement? Indeed it is.

     The Masters have taught us, that the sure portal that leads to true freedom, is the Sanctuary, the Altar, and the Call. And so we pray for obedient feet.

     And we find ourselves therefore, entering the Sanctuary, dragging the web of anxiety along with us. And it hardly fits through the sanctuary door. Its filaments stick to everything, and it is like we are moving against the pressure of a thousand rubber bands, all of which are anchored at a great distance from the Altar, we are stretching them to the limit, all the muscles of our determination strain against them, approaching the Altar with only the greatest effort.

     Yet, we finally arrive, somehow, and we open our mouth, and we make the call, just a simple call, like the Tube of Light, or the Keepers Daily Prayer, or our Heart, Head, and Hand decrees, and verily, the rubber bands snap back in the face of the demons and the astral spiders who are holding the other ends. And we are free. The cloud of anxiety that has gripped our consciousness has been destroyed, and we are immersed in the presence of paradise.

     And so, this is the question that is always worth repeating. For a butterfly caught in a web, what is the most meaningful expression of God's Love? It is to set the butterfly free.

     Freedom is the first order of divine functionality. But where exactly is that functionality? This word, w-h-e-r-e, is a container, or a chalice, for your memory of inner experience. Pray it be not empty.

     Where is that functionality? That functionality is contained in the Light which the Master, in close cooperation with God our Father and Mother, transfers to us, from the very center of that one universal heart, a matrix of divine power especially designed for our soul. For the love and care of Our Father and Mother are very highly attuned and focused upon us as the precious child to whom They gave birth out of the greatest love of Their hearts so long ago. A love they have never forgotten. And they see the butterfly trapped upon the web and the spider approaching. What is the most precious treasure they can give to their child at this point? It is freedom. The divine power they send to us knows exactly where to cut the web away from our legs, it knows exactly where to cut the web away from our hands, our fingers, and our arms, even from our wings, and exactly where to place the kiss of peace on our forehead as we flutter off in the sunlight. Yes, a highly functional divine power, beautiful and perfect in every respect.

     The Core of our Being is Consciousness. I am speaking about the core of our divine soul, of which the butterfly is a symbol when it has emerged from the cocoon of Maya into the sunlight of divine illumination, even so, with a lot to learn, and a lot to explore. This Light of Freedom, of which we are speaking, which is the Love of God, is the Total Master of Consciousness, the Ruling Lord of all the Deeper Regions of Mind, all powerful, all intelligent, all good, all wise, containing within it all the resources of knowledge necessary for it to grab hold, lock on, lift up, and raise perfectly the whole canopy of the soul fabric, uniformly and perfectly into an awareness of the beauty of the divine power itself, more beautiful than a billion roses if we could see it clearly, and at the same time, cutting all the complex tentacles of darkness, even as a master surgeon would do, setting the orb of consciousness free from that vine-like entrapment, point by point, completely, and thoroughly, and from all the sensations of poison which the spider had heretofore injected freely into the fabric of the soul. This is yet another very important aspect of the divine functionality. This Light, this Love, washes the poison out of the consciousness, a once dirty, tattered, and sludge soaked sheet is made pure white, as a matrix of pure crystal, within which dances all the radiant whiteness of the presence itself.

     The soul can be said to have a million nostrils, and when in the midst of the darkness, can smell only the rotten breath of the demonic hordes. In the midst of this great fountain of freedom, God our Father and Mother, they present to each nostril, a beautiful flower with a beautiful fragrance.

     The soul as a field of awareness is meant to ride upon this fountain of everlasting freedom. In other words, our essential body is intended to be this fountain of divine freedom, which is an especially designed matrix of divine power which our Heavenly Father, and Heavenly Mother craft out of the great love they have for us, individually, each one, constantly thinking, what is it that I can give to my precious child in this moment? And in this moment? And in this moment? And in this moment? All of these moments divided into increments much smaller than a nanosecond, and strung together as an endless neckless of pearls into a future that has no end..

     When we ponder the wonder of the Old Faithful Geyser, this is the mystery that the elementals want to convey to the soul. And that is why the soul stands in awe before it.

     God our Father and Mother, they are doing this for the Master Jesus Christ every moment of his life. You see, he is their precious child too. They are doing this for El Morya as their precious child. They are doing this for Lanello as their precious child. They are doing this for Mother Mary, as their precious child. They are doing this for Helios as their precious child. They are doing this for Archangel Michael as their precious child. They are doing this for Vesta as their precious child. They are doing this for Sanat Kumara as their precious child. And for the Lady Master Venus as their precious child. This is how great God is, who can give birth to an endless number of children, yet can give an unlimited amount of infinitely personal attention to each, without depriving anyone of their children the personal time they need, at any time.

     While, we, in the fallen state, are not aware of this, they are doing the same for us, each one, without exception, as their precious child. Though in our case, they must contend with a thick shell of rejection, built up, over many thousands of years, and in some cases millions of years, of the dark sludge-like molecules of freewill misused, which creates the delusion in our minds, born of darkness, born of the poisons of darkness that flow through our blood veins, that God does not exist, or if he exists, cannot be known. And therefore, for us, all of the evolutions of the earth, there is this little matter of reestablishing a condition of natural divine receptivity, a small matter to which the Path of Initiation is dedicated.

     Now, I would ask you this. How clearly are these realities impressed upon your awareness as you walk this special path, sponsored by the ascended masters, back to the Heart of God? Why would there be some who consider themselves the students of the ascended masters who read these words and have no idea at all what I am talking about? And some who scoff at the very sight of these sparkling jewels in my hand?

     It has to do with the principle of proportionality. It has to do with the proportionality of functionality. To the extent that the soul has, by freewill, made the choice to align its life with the core principle of divine functionality, which is always the championship of truth — that is the definition of divine functionality — to that extent will the divine functionality of the flame of freedom itself be apparent to the inner awareness of the soul. If you have dedicated your life, step by step to the championship of truth, making every effort to exhibit this basic divine functionality in your outer life, then no matter what amount of darkness the false hierarchy can throw upon you, your call will always result in the certain response of the flame of freedom which you will experience in a manner more tangible than a leap into a crystal mountain lake.

     On the other hand, if the soul is continuously turning its back upon opportunities to stand up for the truth, if the soul is continuously turning its back upon opportunities to champion the truth, if the soul is repeatedly embracing its old habit patterns of counting the cost of truth as too high, for that soul, no matter how much time he, or she, as the case might be, devotes to decree work, or other "good works" for that matter, that soul will experience the same void of divine functionality within, as it expresses without. That soul will not know the inner experience of freedom that I am speaking about here, and thus not know the fruit of the path.

     Every minister of this church falls into this category. Not so you say? Well, let anyone of them stand up and proclaim otherwise.

     All the souls on earth today, to one extent or another, carry with them into this embodiment highly ingrained habit patterns of failure, comprised of all the thoughts, feelings, and records, associated with those experiences wherein, they have allowed the forces of darkness to bend their minds into all manner of fear-based rationalizations as they see their feet fleeing yet again, each and every opportunity that life presents to stand up and champion the truth. And that includes those who have gathered at the masters feet in this organization. In this respect, they are no different than the teeming masses. All of them, without exception, have reached points on the path where they have turned back many times before. In regards to that particular point of repetitive failure, they have been brought back to face it many times, challenged again and again to face what appears to be an onerous duty to stand up for a truth that might bring upon them the condemnation of their peers. And so they have said, I can't do it. I won't do it. Let this cup pass from my lips. And that is why it has been said, that no freedom will come to this planet, until the members of this organization achieve freedom for themselves.

     Don't look to those who have flocked to the brightly adorned castles of the false messengers. For they have all been escorted into the dungeon of fear and doubt, chained to the walls there, yet know it not.

     As far as this organization goes, as things stand right now, the whole student body is caught in their own age-old rut, where the rebels have entered into the pulpit again, masquerading as angels of light, and by the appearance of spiritual authority, bent the minds of the children of God once again, against the all important requirement of the path, which is to finally stand up for the truth, to finally defeat all of the rationalizations of darkness within that keep the feet immobile in this great battle for the victory of the light.

     Yes, I return to the Linda Worobec situation, an example of a situation that could not be easier really, when it comes to standing up for what is true. Beatles or no Beatles, that is the question. Pride or no pride, that is the question. Accountability or no, that is the question. Here is the center of the poisonous flower of sympathy, sympathy for the devil, for the deified energy veil, which is a web, upon which all the brightly colored butterflies are caught. They call and they call and they call, but the functionality of the flame of freedom does not work for them, because they refuse to align their outer minds to that functionality.

     At this point, their collective sense of forward movement and perceived potential for a future victory, has no more of a foundation of truth to it, than that of the collective congregations of the false messengers. The human mind, stupefied by the poisons of the astral plane, can be filled with psychic delusions, dramatic and bright somehow, which make the web upon which they are trapped, appear to be a magic carpet.

     When a false pastor finds a weed of darkness growing in the Garden, he will not pluck it out. He will have sympathy for it. And he will allow it to live on. The false pastor has done this innumerable times in relationship to his own internal garden, building up a strong sympathy for such weeds, and feeling quite comfortable in their presence.

     And so, it comes to pass, that when a weed of darkness shows up in the outer garden, neither will that false pastor pluck out that weed, no matter how poisonous are the noxious fumes. No, the noxious fumes have become a perfume in their nostrils, a certain satisfaction they feel in the presence of others who are steeped in the spirit of rebellion, and who harbor the same delusion, that even so, God will bend the knee before them, finally understanding their superiority, and suffer them to sit on his throne in heaven. And thus, having already a strong momentum of sympathy built up in relationship to weeds of darkness generally, when they confront one in the outer garden, they desire to see it survive as well.

     We have discussed at length the weed of darkness that proclaimed itself to the world, erasing all doubt and confusion in the minds of everyone when Church Manager Linda Worobec performed a Beatles tune on the Altar of the Holy Grail in King Arthur's Court on July 4, 2003, setting before the world one of the most audacious expressions of rebellion against the core teachings of the Ascended Masters that has ever been enacted upon the Altar of the Holy Grail during the life of this organization. Another example, which we have not discussed so often, is Rev. Marilyn Barrick, who publishes material, on church printing presses, that are in sympathy with the psychic, and which trample all over the Master's prohibition of such sentiments and alliances. (See: BARRICK BOOKS Lure Students Into Psychic Entanglement and More Rebellion Against the Master El Morya). Yet, even so, and notwithstanding the existence of the truth in this regard in black and white, she is still there too, and her books continue to be sold by the church as if they were pure gold.

     As you can see from the record, the false pastors which Jesus exposed in his day, were not challenged by the congregation, and from their continuing positions of power, they instigated the crucifixion of Christ himself: "Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:" (Matt 23:34)

     Jesus proclaimed these things so that the people would know that the crimes these false pastors commit, and have committed, that the members of the congregation would be complicit, and have to bear the karmic burden upon their own shoulders: "For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers." (Matt 23:4)

     No, they don't pull the weed out. They pull out the flower, by whose beauty the weed is exposed. They pull out that flower, and they throw it over the fence without a second thought.

     The solution to this problem is to establish accountability procedures by which the false pastors can themselves be weeded out, and cast quickly onto the compost pile of worldly experience. We have these two examples before us, in relationship to Worobec and Barrick, where there is documented proof that they harbor a defiant spirit of rebellion within their temples. We should have a procedure in place where the defiant ones can be brought before the bar of justice, and therein given an opportunity to separate themselves out from the defiant spirit of rebellion they have harbored for far too long.. If they will confess their mistakes, express an apology to the congregation, and perform a suitable penance, this will go a long ways towards ensuring that they are not false pastors but only error prone Children of God. A false pastor on the other hand will have no inner desire to confess anything, and thus, as they express this very defiance in the midst of the accountability procedure, we will know who we are dealing with, and such individuals can be set aside for the good of the whole organization.

     Remember the Teaching given by Jesus Christ. The members of the congregation bear the burden for the offenses these false pastors commit. This is because the false pastors, who have no light of their own, harvest our light, and they use that in the commission of their crimes against the Purposes of God. At this point in time, none of us can claim ignorance, because the Master Jesus told us this more than 2,000 years ago.

     Those who oppose the establishment of this process of accountability are the false pastors themselves. I think we would be surprised to understand the depth of fear that they feel when the principle of accountability is waved in front of their faces. They know that when such a process is established, they will be exposed, and shown the door. Their days of free pickings from the chakras of the lightbearers will be over.

     Every once in while we see news reports about the exodus of Iraqi's from Iraq, fleeing the violence, fleeing to the surrounding nations, fleeing to Europe, fleeing to the United States, and thus making matters worse, as the economy needs those people. How can a fabric hold together when the most important threads are removed?

     Every time you hear these reports, remember that it is the defeatist policy pushed by the Democrat Party which is hastening this exodus. As the Iraqi people become more and more uncertain as to whether the United States Forces will stay and keep order (until the Iraqi Government is capable of doing it for themselves), more and more decide to leave. Where does this uncertainty come from? It comes from the Democrat Party only which calls for the American retreat quickly.

     Their blindness, which has them working for the victory of chaos and bloodletting in Iraq, is shameful.

     The story of the development of the incandescent electric light is an all-American story, rooted in the history of our nation. The practical electric light was born here, in the mind of Thomas Alva Edison, along with the electrical distribution systems necessary to power it in every home and business in the nation. This was true notwithstanding the fact that the scientific consensus of the time, circa 1879, held that the development of such a light was impossible, a view founded on the experience of many who had tried, and failed, and based moreover on a narrow and incomplete understanding of electrical laws. That's what they told him! That he would never succeed in bringing a clean and cheap electric light source into every home. The leading scientific minds of the time scoffed! But Thomas Alva Edison had the vision, and he persevered. Every time we turn on an electric light it radiates into our hearts that all-American virtue, which says, "Don't Quit."

"The trouble with other inventors is that they try a few things and quit. I never quit until I get what I want."

Thomas A Edison
Quoted in Harper's Magazine
September 1932

     This expresses the quintessential virtue of the American can do spirit. It runs in the blood stream of every American. It's the legacy left to us by the many pioneers whose vision and determination made America the greatest superpower the world has ever known, and a beacon of liberty and innovation to the world.

     This is why the psychology of the Democrat Party, which is intent on proving the idea true, that America cannot win in Iraq, and that we must quit now, can be rightfully termed retrograde from the standpoint of traditional American virtue. Why would anyone, who has any self-respect, want to identify with such a spineless and defeatist attitude?

     We face many challenges in Iraq. That is true. Many new problems for which there does not seem to be ready made solutions. But these solutions can be invented as they are needed. America has that innovative spirit. It just takes time and patience. Thomas A Edison proved that to the world. Let us remember our history, and take heart from it.

     As you will remember, on Labor Day, President George W. Bush visited the nation of Iraq, our troops there, and our allies there. And concerning this, I posted the following blogger entry, which I would like to quote for you, and then I would juxtapose that alongside another important observation concerning the Democrat Party.

     Let every American make this connection. The Democrats carry the banner of abortion "rights" in this nation. They also carry the banner of abortion "rights" when it comes to the dreams of freedom in the hearts of the Iraqi people. Indeed, the leadership of the Democrat Party would abort those dreams today, if they could. But it is the pro-life Republicans who are holding the line for a live birth.

     This is something that all Independents should consider in the upcoming election campaign. Those who are pro-abortion, carry that abortion psychology into everything they do. They are not just for aborting little defenseless children in the womb. They are not just for aborting the dreams of freedom in the hearts of the Iraqi people. No, it is not limited to that.

     Whatever kind of government largess they appear to be handing out, you can be sure of this, that in the process they are also aborting the principle of freedom, in other words, tangible elements of American freedom, in everything that they do. Even while they are talking about reaching into the wallets of every American so that the children will have health care, they are actually aborting the principle of freedom as they are doing it. Whoever appears to need health care, they say, YOU must pay for it. And they use the strong arm of government to reach into your wallet to take what they need. But not only that. Check out the latest Hillary care. She says, YOU MUST HAVE HEALTH CARE. Not only are they going to pick your pocket, they will stand over you, and force you to write a check for a health care plan for yourself! Freedom of choice? Yes if you want to snuff out the life in the womb. But freedom of choice when it comes to writing a check for a health care plan you don't need? No.

     When they argue for a clean environment, they are actually aborting the principle of freedom as they are doing it. Who is going to pay for all of that machinery that has to be mounted on the smoke stacks of the electric utility companies? Why, YOU will have to pay for that government designed and mandated boondoggle that will cost a hundred times more than it would if industry was left alone to do it for themselves. As they argue for more and more mandates against U.S. auto makers, for the sake of cleaner air, they are aborting the principle of freedom as they are doing it. Not only do they feel exhilarated as they use the arm of government to twist the arm of U.S. Auto Makers, who will end up paying for those more expensive cars? YOU will.

     As they are arguing for higher taxes (to pay for all of this stuff) they are actually aborting the principle of freedom as they are doing it. The less money you have, the less options you have. As they drag their feet and refuse to entertain any kind of reform for the social security system, they are aborting the principle of freedom as they are doing it, or not doing it, as the case might be. The entire load of the baby boom generation is about to fall on the shoulders of a very small work force. Who is going to pay for this? YOU are going to pay for it. You can go right down the line, and connect everything they do with the process of aborting the freedom of all Americans in one way or another.

     The Democrat Party is the psychology of abortion at work, aborting life in the womb of course, aborting the dreams of freedom in the hearts of the Iraqi people, true, but in a whole range of what might seem to be everyday matters, they are aborting independence, which is the central motor of freedom, and shifting Americans, incrementally and progressively into more and more of a dependence psychology where they are taught to look to government for their every need. The problem with government supplying every need, is that the government treasury, the collective wallet of the American population, does not have an infinite amount of money in it. As Democrats keep dipping into it, what they are doing, is taking money away from the people, leaving them with less options, less mobility, and thus less independence.

     Make no mistake about it. The Master Jesus Christ left us a clear and unambiguous example which was intended, by him, to inform all of the Children of God, for all time, of exactly what their duties and responsibilities are, before the presence of false pastors in the pulpit. This example is recorded in the Book of Matthew, in the entirety of Chapter 23, which I will reproduce here for reference purposes. Please reach up and take the hand of our Blessed Elder Sister, who we know as Mother Mary, and walk with her through these sentences, like unto so many paths, through the garden of truth that her son, Jesus set upon the record 2,000 years ago. This is from the King James Version of the Bible.

The Book of Matthew Chapter 23 (The Whole Chapter!) 1: Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, 2: Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: 3: All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. 4: For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. 5: But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, 6: And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, 7: And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 8: But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. 9: And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 10: Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. 11: But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12: And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. 13: But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. 14: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. 15: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. 16: Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! 17: Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? 18: And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. 19: Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? 20: Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon. 21: And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. 22: And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon. 23: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 24: Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. 25: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. 26: Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. 27: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. 28: Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. 29: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, 30: And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 31: Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. 32: Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 33: Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? 34: Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: 35: That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. 36: Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. 37: O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! 38: Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 39: For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

     As did the Master Jesus Christ, so do we. If you have any love at all in your heart for this Master, you will go and do likewise. Hint: You cannot say out of one side of your mouth "blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord", and out of the other side of your mouth reject the word that he brings, with its inherent duties and responsibilities.

     Why did he speak to the multitudes? What is the reason for that? Was it just to make trouble? Was it just to ruffle feathers? There is an important purpose here.

     This key statement explains the purpose: "But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in."

     And this one is just as important: "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. "

     In the day of Jesus Christ, he could see that the gateway unto heaven had been blocked by these false pastors. But not only that. The warning is there in clear and unambiguous terms. These false pastors mold the minds of the people after their own, and so says the Master, "ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves." That is a red flag unto every soul. Passivity before the usurpers in the pulpit, that is not the way.

      The Master Jesus wanted the people to know this. He wanted the people to understand that the way forward was piled high with all of the stones of stumbling that the false pastors could devise. And moreover, that the divine geometry of their own soul was being grossly distorted as these false pastors teach the people to worship the obstacles that they themselves have set before the people. To worship the obstacles that oppose the soul's entry into the eternal life of the divine soul, that is the mindset of hell. He wanted the people to know this, so they would be inspired to do something about it. His message is clear. If you want the way to be made open, the people would have to get up from their comfortable couches, or for those relegated to the hard benches, to stop sitting on their hands, and do something to remove those blocks and obstacles. They must do something to remove those who use their positions of authority to oppose the people's entry into the domain of heaven.

     Consider the whole of this Chapter 23. It faithfully describes the modus operandi of the false pastors a million years ago, ten thousand years ago, in the time of the Jesus, and it describes it, the way it is today, even the situation, as it stands before our very eyes, personified by the current leaders of Church Universal and Triumphant, the ones who grabbed the reigns of power as soon as the Messenger was moved off stage. They have never changed their ways. It is always the development of a surface spiritual glitter that deceives and confounds the Children of God. When just under the surface you have an actual loyalty, a loyalty of the heart, to the false hierarchy. That loyalty shows itself by their refusal to put down any darkness in their own midst.

     Consider this fact, that the first public act of the newly appointed Church Manager one Rev. Linda Worobec, was to perform a Beatles tune on the Altar of the Holy Grail in King Arthur's Court, on one of the highest Holy Days of our Church, which is the Fourth of July, the high point of the quarterly Freedom Conference, in defiance of one of the most fundamental aspects of the Teachings of the Ascended Masters.

     Consider the fact that the collective leadership praised her, supported her, and would not consider for a moment any kind of disciplinary action, would not consider for a moment holding her accountable for the crime that she committed against the Ascended Master teaching on that evening.

     Consider the fact that the collective leadership continued her in the office of the Church Manager for the next three years. And then, because they were getting hard up for cash, they promoted her to a new fund raising role, where she was sent out to pass the plate among the congregations of the nations.

     This is what the whole Linda Worobec situation exposed to be true, back in July of 2003, and remains the truth today. We have false pastors, as described by Jesus Christ in this important scripture, who maintain surface appearances of spiritual authority, who are totally dark just under the surface, no, not light grey, nor medium grey, nor deep grey, but pitch black just under the surface, the truth of which is clearly before the congregation as this leadership team does nothing as the congregation continues to be poisoned by the spirit of rebellion that issues forth from the mouth of one Linda Worobec. It should make any true heart shudder, that we have an entire leadership team which feels comfortable with this ongoing poisoning of the souls that make up this flock of Christ.

     All the hopes and dreams of seeing these souls win their victory, aspirations of the ascended masters laid out as a field of beautiful flowers before the eyes of the world at the birth of this organization, these falses pastors do nothing as these flowers shrivel up and die before their very eyes. Indeed, this is the consciousness of the aphid itself.

     What is the value of the example of the Master if we don't follow it? In this organization, the false pastors have made it a crime to follow that example. Many have been thrown out for speaking up.

     Indeed, the false pastors sit in Elizabeth Clare Prophets seat. They drape upon their own shoulders the vestments of her memory, the vestments of her authority, even while they teach the Children of God how to turn their very backs upon the ascended master principles to which Elizabeth Clare Prophet dedicated her life.

     This truth is before the eyes of those who can see. The greatest darkness upon the land is the vibration of rock music promulgated by fallen angels, or those who have become the disciples thereof. Through rock music the fallen angels tear down the light of the spine, making the third eye go dark, and in that darkness, rape the chakras of the lightbearers so that the banquet tables of hell can be made to look abundant with the delicacies of heaven. In this regard, the Beatles inaugurated such a wave of darkness upon this land, that was unprecedented in the history of the planet. This is what the Masters teach the Children of God. The Beatles equal death and hell. Yet, the ones who collectively sit in the seat of Elizabeth Clare Prophet, allowed a Church Manager of their choosing, to perform a Beatles tune on the very Altar of the Holy Grail, and printed the name of Lennon and McCartney in a position of honor in the program for that night. After this event, not one of them had the spine to stand up to reiterate the Master's teaching on this important subject. Not one of them took the opportunity to expose the level of darkness they themselves placed in the office of the Church Manager. Not one of them. They know not the Christ Consciousness. They harbor, behind that deceptive mask, sympathy for the devil, sympathy for the energies of evil, sympathy for the energy veil, as one person has pointed out to me. It is not a light grey. It is pitch black.

     Study the teaching the Masters have given us on the issue of Rock Music, and the Beatles. Come to terms with the enormous importance they have placed on this Teaching. And consider that the purest light of the heart will support that teaching with a fiery intensity. This is because we are talking about the issue of life and death of the soul. If the example of Sean Prophet has taught us anything, it has taught us that. And then consider what level of darkness is required to oppose that light, to overcome that light, to overcome the brilliance that has in mind the saving of the soul from the clutches of the hordes of death and hell. It is an intensity of darkness that enslaves the light of the spine never allowing it to rise to illuminate the spiritual vision of the soul. And of course, as you know, and as it was written of old, without vision, the people perish.

     The solution to this age-old problem, is for the Children of God to come together in one accord, and determine that they will have a process established within the organization entrusted to them by El Morya, whereby, leaders will be held accountable for their misdeeds, and thereby, we will have a way to weed out the false pastors, to keep the whole apple of leadership from becoming rotten to the core.

     What is the big lie that Rudy's Banner proclaims to the world? It is that you can be both strong and pro-abortion.

     The fact is, that the pro-abortion mindset represents the walls of a castle that have already been broken down and trampled over by the forces of darkness. Indeed, the enemy who has already overcome the natural defenses of the soul, Rudy has called an honorable friend. The idea that he will not heed the advice and counsel of this enemy in all matters of importance, is absurd. Of course he will. In this way, all nations have been brought down from the inside.

     But that is only one-half of the equation. The other half of the equation is this. Who will march behind that banner with Rudolph Guiliani? You might decide to march behind that banner. Many might decide to march behind that banner. But make no mistake about who will not march behind that banner. The Angels of God, who are the real defenders of this nation, will not march behind that banner. To march behind that banner is to sally out into the midst of the enemy with no swords, no shields, and no armor.

     I remember that one of the most interesting and useful books that we read during the First Quarter of Summit University (1983), was Jonathon Livingston Seagull. In his honor I dedicate the following photos taken during the early evening today along the coast and beach just a couple of hundred yards south of Pt. Mugu Rock. That is just off the Pacific Coast Highway, about ten miles north of Malibu. One very precocious bird. I think he read the book.

     The speech given by President George W. Bush to the nation last night, was very solid, very reasonable, and very responsible. The first two paragraphs represented a very penetrating presentation to the nation of eternal principle and truth. (source)

"In the life of all free nations, there come moments that decide the direction of a country and reveal the character of its people. We are now at such a moment.

In Iraq, an ally of the United States is fighting for its survival. Terrorists and extremists who are at war with us around the world are seeking to topple Iraq's government, dominate the region, and attack us here at home. If Iraq's young democracy can turn back these enemies, it will mean a more hopeful Middle East and a more secure America. This ally has placed its trust in the United States. And tonight, our moral and strategic imperatives are one: We must help Iraq defeat those who threaten its future and also threaten ours."

     Very well said.

     And as it was said of old, a word to the wise is sufficient. The fact that the Democrats brushed this off the table immediately, tells you something about how much wisdom remains in their collective cup.

     And so, the battle lines are drawn even here in the United States, between minds in which the flame of wisdom still burns, and those minds who are filled with the rantings of the very demonic forces that desire to destroy all hope of liberty in the Middle East.

     The Intercession of God for the protection of the American mind, was never more sorely needed than it is now. Just as we do not condemn Sean Prophet for being overrun by these forces of darkness, his unbreakable pride never admitting of the possibility of outside manipulation, neither do we condemn the Democrats, for it was also said of old, Father forgive them, for they know not what they do. Yes they stone the very child of freedom in the crib. But still we raise up our eyes to heaven, and we say with the saints of old, Father forgive them, for they know not what they do. The hatred that flows through them, hatred for the beauty of principles of honor, duty and victory, is not their own. Their base and blind political ambitions have made their emotional bodies a lens through which the powers of darkness on the astral plane work to defeat the cause of freedom in the world. You see, of course, by their own power, by their own psychology, they hate those who stand in their way. They hate and despise those who block their ambitions to ascend into the domain of political power. And the forces of darkness use that hatred as a starting point, and they add to it, pouring forth an intensity of hatred that overpowers all common sense, all reason, and all sense of virtue in the heart. That is what drives them into this frenzy of blindness which has them trading away the freedom of all future generations of the Iraqi people, and throwing away all hope for the freedom of all the peoples in the Middle East, in exchange for this mess of pottage, for the opportunity to sit upon the throne of political power for a season (2008-2012).

     In relationship to another email I got from Sherry and Steve Murray, devotees of Kim and Lorraine Michaels, emails I file, but never read, this question came to mind, in terms of the quality of loyalty. What does Loyalty mean? And this was the answer which coalesced in my soul.

     They never came into orbit around the heart of the Master El Morya. They never got a clear sense of how valuable this organization was to him. They never got a clear sense of how precious to him, was everything about this organization. And so, from their outer orbits, which were fringe orbits, they were easily captured by the intense gravity of these outlying planets of darkness. No, not planets of light. But death stars, great ego amplifiers.

     What do they get out of their relationship with these death stars? They send into the death star their devotion. And they get back an affirmation, in the form of a psychic delusion, a sense of how much spiritual attainment their human ego possesses. And so they become more and more proud of the choice they made to jump off a sinking ship, and onto another deck, one more solid, on a ship that is supposedly under sail to the destination of their dreams. Well, dream on.

     Indeed, they give the gold of their hearts, which is their devotion, and get in return, not a return on investment, but something less than paper currency, totally empty of eternal value. They are being defrauded, but they enjoy the process, and have for many lifetimes. They enjoy the process of making all the necessary appearances of making spiritual progress, while clean escaping all of the arduous responsibilities of the real path.

     I am so sorry that they were never the recipients of deeply beautiful experiences of divine communion that would have had the effect of fusing their hearts with the Master, thus making it impossible for the soul to ever leave off the championship of what is important and of the highest priority to him.

     For myself, as just one of many examples, I had the opportunity to attend the first conference in the heart of the Inner Retreat in the late summer of 1982. With all my heart, I wanted to attend that conference, but being unemployed at the time, I had to swallow my pride, and ask the Messenger to wave my conference fees, which she did. During that conference, my heart and mind and soul was fused with the deepest sense of how valuable this organization was to the Master El Morya, and to all the masters, and that has never left me. What the masters communicate to you at deep inner levels, does not change over time, a principle that is expressed in the phrase, "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever." What the Masters communicate to you is like a bar of gold that never loses its value. Every time you go back into the vault to check it out, there it is, shining as beautifully as the first day it was placed into your hand, and whose value has not dimished in the least. Indeed, as to such treasures given, the masters say to us, hold fast what thou hast received.

     Why did they not receive these experiences, ones that would have allowed their orbits around his heart to be close in? It is because they never made the right choices. Whenever they had a choice to reach up into the hand of the Master, while letting go of the hand of darkness, they would never let go.

     Well, it is a very similar situation to what we see happening in this organization at this time. Linda Worobec and the other members of the leadership, and all members of the congregation, are being asked to let go of the hand of the enemy, in terms of their allegiance to a matrix of error and falsehood, that immobilizes their feet, and keeps them from stepping closer to the truth, and closer to the Master. Indeed, Morya is reaching out his hand, and asking the members of this organization to take it, in the form of an acceptance and an understanding of how important it is to hold leaders accountable. Please take my hand he says, and I will lift you up higher on the mountain side. But no, they will not take his hand, at least not so far.

     But he has not thrown up his hands in disgust. His mind is ever full of creative possibilities when it comes to getting someone's attention. Though he is always looking for those who will carry his ideas into manifestation. As it has been said of old, the fields are ripe for the harvest, but as to the workers in the fields, they are few.

     The future of this particular group of souls, if they stand fast in their refusal to come nigh unto the truth, is written upon the wall. We see that future written by the examples of all of these false hierarchy organizations that have sprouted up all around us. This is the future, where souls make themselves vulnerable to being plucked right out of the master's hand. As they move farther away from the heart of the Master, as their attention orbits more closely around the falsehoods and the errors which the enemy himself advocates, who will be surprised, then, that sometime in the future, perhaps a next lifetime, that their orbit around the Master will have become so tenuous, that they can be snatched right out of that orbit, just like those who have gone after the false messengers in our time.

     Allow me the license to put some words in the mouth of this tried and true warrior General David Petraeus. I think these are some of the things he would say, if he could speak candidly.

I am a warrior. My enemies are warriors. Warriors think alike. I can see inside of their head at least in terms of the broad brush strokes. I know what it means to get a boost in morale. The fighting effectiveness of all troops goes way up. Their speed, fluidity, synchronization, and harmony, it all goes way up. A fighting unit with high morale is much more deadly to the enemy, than a unit with low morale. Morale equates directly to staying power. In the midst of the battle, those with high morale stick to the battle and are more likely to win. Those with low morale look for ways to retreat, and will end up leaving the field to the opposing force.

     My opponents seek this advantage of high morale just as I seek it. And they will get that advantage in a big way if America retreats leaving them (Al Qaeda) to claim victory on the battlefield of Iraq. In my judgment, we cannot afford to allow them to become swelled to mythic proportions in the minds of their followers, and would be followers, by defeating the United States of America, the only remaining superpower on the planet. That would translate to much large waves of destruction crashing against our own shores.

The Democrats are not warriors. Their minds are not configured in that way. They are the apologists of the weak and the downtrodden in American society. Somebody has to play that role. They play that role. I don't criticize them for that. But their minds are not structured in the right way to have the kind of strategic thoughts that will help them to make the right decisions on a battle field. The current debate illustrates this. In this important battle for the victory of freedom in Iraq, they are for retreating. They are misreading the psychology of every player in this war. The policies they advocate demoralize our own troops. The policies they advocate demoralize our Iraqi friends. And this is the most important point, the policies they advocate boost the morale of the enemy.

They plant the despair of defeat in the minds of those who are fighting the battle for freedom in Iraq. They plant the hope of victory in the minds of our enemies. They simply do not comprehend what is going on.

They have every friend of freedom in Iraq checking the rug under their feet, wondering when the Democrats will be successful in pulling it out. That is distracting, demoralizing, and encourages people to dedicate some portion of their creative thinking resources to that "what if" question. What if the Democrats succeed in pulling the rug out? What will we do then? A fighting force does not need such distractions, especially a fighting force, like the new Iraqi Army, and security forces, which is embryionic and under development, and which has not yet found a sure footing in the fighting skills required to ensure victory over the enemy. These distractions pull far more powerfully, and far more destructively, against the minds of our Iraqi friends who will, after all, remain there after we are gone. This is true for our own forces at all times, and is true of our Iraqi partners tens times more, that all mental and emotional resources must be devoted to the task of winning, and none of it should be allowed to leak out in the form of these "what if" fears.

     To "complement" this negative attribute of the Democrat proposals, we have this additional interesting phenomena extent on the ground, wherein, while all friends of freedom fear the rug being pulled out, we have our enemies hoping that the Democrats will succeed in pulling that rug out. The Democrat efforts actually cause the flame of hope in the hearts of our enemies to glow brighter. They are hopeful that the Democrats can succeed, and of course, on the darker side, they are helping the process along, by making the war as bloody and terrorizing as they can.

But, the odd thing about human nature in these matters, is that there is really nothing you can say to change their minds. Their way of thinking is part of a political power equation that must pander to a constituency whose votes are required for them to keep their offices. They are trapped inside of this political power equation, hemmed in, and there is no doorway out. This is the way it is.

The question for us, in a democracy, where decisions on issues of war are made collectively in our national legislature, is this. How can this war be prosecuted to a victory, a victory our nation requires for its own national security, when the minds of a significant portion of the population cannot grasp the strategic equation that would help them to understand what is the right course of action? This is a paradox that gets worked out in a very complex manner within the political arena. In other words, every politician has his or her own unique evaluation of the equation of political power for himself, or herself, and they will vote accordingly. As it stands now, we are holding the line in congress for a strategy of victory. But the forces that counsel retreat, they are at the door, if I might use that metaphor, a door that symbolizes the current resolve to stay and fight, whether the door will buckle, whether that door will buckle under the repeated pounding it is taking, and will continue to take, well, it could buckle at any moment as it did in the Vietnam war era. At this point, a small margin of success on the ground is the only thing holding that door closed.

But, there is a reason that I don't come out and say these things, and more, which are clearly on my heart. I don't say these things, because the truth would offend some who are currently on this side of the door, helping to keep it closed against the forces of surrender and retreat! For the moment they are friends in this cause to secure the victory of liberty in Iraq. But they are fickle creatures, who could change their minds in a moment. That is how tenuous, how tenuous is the thread from which the cause of freedom now hangs. The idea that anyone in public life can put on the public record exactly what he thinks, simply does not understand the delicate political balances that support a particular policy at a particular time.

     These are the words that issue out of the universal flame of liberty and common sense in the heart of every true friend of freedom, a lot of which is not spoken, because of the complex political alliances that are required to hold a certain policy line at a particular time.

     Indeed, what the President will tell us in his national speech tomorrow night I believe it is, concerning the "great news" that some troops will be pulled out, it has everything to do with holding this delicate poltical balance that allows the effort to go forward for the cause of freedom.

     The Sixth Anniversary of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center Towers on Sept. 11, 2001, is plotted on the 6 o'clock line of God-Harmony. And so, as you might have gathered from the previous discussions, this would be an auspicious time to come into harmony with the truth.

     The attacks on September 11, 2001 was the first small down payment of America's abortion related karma that is now coming due and payable. Perhaps we can look forward to a full 12 year cycle, as opportunity to come into alignment with this truth, with the hope that our payment schedule can be mitigated by the mercy of the law. In other words, if we were to abolish abortion by the time we arrive at the 12 o'clock line, perhaps a very merciful repayment schedule can be worked out. But if we don't abolish abortion on demand in this nation, I can't imagine what reason could be given to extend additional mercy.

     As I have noted elsewhere, America's effort in Iraq to bring freedom, and a new life of hope and opportunity to tens of millions of Iraqi's and Afghani's, is a mercy factor that mitigates the descent of America's abortion related karma. For that reason, as long as we determine to succeed in that mission, we can be certain that no major terror attack will slip through the cracks in the next six years.

     I believe we have a six-year window of opportunity to do the right thing in the abortion area. The whole idea of coming full circle, certainly could have some dramatic implications if the nation remains arrogant, proud, and stiff necked on this issue.

     On my hike today I was looking through my camera lens at what appeared to be two rocks which someone had leaned up together with a space in between through which you could see the sunlit earth beyond. Like a crude arch. It's easy to jump to that conclusion in this area, because there are lots of rocks, and there appear to be, though I have never seen them, a person, or two, who like to stack rocks in different kinds of scuptures. Though admittedly, the place where they like to do that is far up the trail from here. Perhaps I will shoot a photo or two of those to show you what I mean.

     Now, here is a beautiful butterfly, and make no mistake. This was taken as I crested the high point of this trail as it reached the top of Tank Top Mountain. He had been flying all around me, and I wondered whether or not he would be so kind as to stop and pose. He did, or she did, as the case might be, as I don't know, ignorant me, how to tell the difference between male and female butterflies. Though I can tell you that this is the color of yellow that you see reflected off the wing.

      And this is the closeup of that rock. No, it is not two rocks at all. But one rock. It is the structure of the rock, with the way the light and shadows play off of it which made it appear like two rocks from a distance. Close in, well, you can see what appear to be two, are one.

     President Bush is trying to be very supportive of those who, under very difficult circumstances, are trying to establish a democracy in a nation that has never known one, and who must accomplish this in the midst of a battlefield that has become the central front on the war on terror. Indeed, a battlefield that will determine the fate of the entire Middle East, whether the terrorists will continue to hold sway in that larger region, or whether the day of the terrorist in that region, is over. That is the question being battled out upon the soil of Iraq between the friends of freedom on the one hand, and the forces of terror and totalitarianism on the other. And so, compare and contrast President Bush's support tone, to the Democrat desire to retreat, to "redeploy" as it is so ably articulated by the Senate Majority Leader, Senator Harry Reid, D-New. See if you don't agree, that this position is, laid side by side with the President's, is clearly hostile and cold-hearted in relationship to the Iraqi people.

President's Radio Address President George W. Bush September 8, 2007 (Audio) THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Earlier this week, I traveled to Iraq's Anbar Province to visit our troops and see with my own eyes the remarkable changes they are making possible. If you want to see some photos from this trip, go to whitehouse.gov where you can view a slideshow of my visit. Success in Anbar is critical to the democratic future of Iraq and to the war on terror. This largely Sunni province covers nearly a third of Iraq. It stretches from the outskirts of Baghdad to Iraq's borders with Jordan, and Syria, and Saudi Arabia. And until recently, Anbar was al Qaeda's chief base of operations in Iraq. Last year at this time, Anbar was all over the news. Newspapers at the time cited a leaked intelligence report that was pessimistic about our prospects there. One columnist summed it up this way: "The war is over in Anbar province, and the United States lost." But local citizens soon saw what life under al Qaeda meant for them. The terrorists brutalized the people of Anbar and killed those who opposed their dark ideology. So the tribal sheiks of Anbar came together to fight al Qaeda. They asked for support from the Coalition and the Iraqi government, and we responded. Together we have driven al Qaeda out of strongholds in Anbar. The level of violence is down. Local governments are meeting again. Young Sunnis are joining the police and army. And normal life is returning. The people of Anbar have seen that standing up to the terrorists and extremists leads to a better life. And Anbar has shown that improving security is the first step toward achieving economic progress and political reconciliation. On my visit, I met with tribal sheiks who have fought with us against al Qaeda -- and who are now building a better future for their people and for all Iraqis. One Sunni sheik told me: "We have suffered a great deal from terrorism. We strongly support the democracy you have called for. The previous regime [of Saddam Hussein] should not be characterized as a Sunni regime -- it was a regime against the Sunnis, Shia, and the Kurds." I also met with national leaders from Iraq's government: President Talabani and Prime Minister Maliki, Deputy Prime Minister Barham Salih, Vice President Abd al-Mahdi, Vice President Hashimi, and President Barzani of the Kurdish region. These men come from different religious and ethnic backgrounds. But they all understand the importance of succeeding in Anbar. And so they're reaching out to help, with positive steps such as sharing oil revenues with provincial leaders. I thanked the representatives of Iraq's government for their efforts to support the bottom-up progress in Anbar. And I told them that the American people expect them to meet their commitments and pass the legislation they've agreed on. While in Iraq, I also received a good briefing from General David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker. They gave me an update on our military, and political, and economic efforts to support our Iraqi partners. They told me about the progress they're seeing across Iraq and their ideas for the way forward. In the next few days, they will come to Washington to give Congress their assessment of conditions on the ground. I urge the Members of Congress to listen to these two well-respected professionals -- before jumping to any conclusions. Most importantly, during my visit, I met with our troops serving in Anbar. Every day, these fine men and women show courage under incredibly difficult circumstances. The work they're doing on the sands of Anbar is making us safer in the streets of America. Because of their bravery and sacrifice, our troops in Iraq are denying al Qaeda safe havens from which to plot and plan and carry out attacks against Americans both here and abroad. I know how hard it is for our men and women in uniform to be away from their families. I told them our Nation appreciates their willingness to serve and that the American people stand with them. Next week, after consulting with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, my national security team, Members of Congress from both parties, and Iraqi leaders, I will speak directly to the Nation about the recommendations General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker have presented to me. I will discuss the changes our strategy has brought to Iraq. I will lay out a vision for future involvement in Iraq -- one that I believe the American people and their elected leaders of both parties can support. By coming together on the way forward, we will strengthen Iraq's democracy, deal a blow to our enemies, secure interests in the Middle East, and make our Nation safer. Thank you for listening.

Democrat Radio Address Senator Harry Reid, D-Nev. September 7, 2007 (Audio) "Good morning. This is Senator Harry Reid of Searchlight, Nevada Majority Leader of the United States Senate. This Tuesday is the sixth anniversary of September 11th, and our thoughts and prayers remain with the victims and their families. In the days following those terrible attacks, the country's pain and despair were quickly replaced with a steely resolve to bring those responsible to justice. The world stood by our side, ready to join us in this effort. "But before he'd finished the job of destroying al Qaeda, President Bush chose a different path, misleading us into an ill-planned war in Iraq. As his own counter-terrorism chief said, attacking Iraq after 9/11 was like attacking Mexico after Pearl Harbor. And today, the results of his choice could not be clearer: - 170,000 brave Americans are mired in a civil war in far-away Iraq; - Osama bin Laden remains on the loose, making videos, mocking America, planning attacks; - Al Qaeda and its leaders are resurgent; - And international support for the United States has crumbled. "Our military is not to blame for those setbacks. The men and women who serve us in uniform have met every challenge and surpassed every goal with remarkable courage. These are President Bush's failures and it is long past time for him to change his flawed policies. "This week, President Bush will send General Petraeus to Congress to report on the war -- but before the report arrives in Congress, it will pass through the White House spin machine, where facts are often ignored or twisted, and intelligence is cherry-picked. "President Bush told us the purpose of his troop surge, his escalation in Iraq, was to give the Iraqis the space and safety to forge political progress and build a sustainable government. Unfortunately, that has not happened. Nonpartisan reports released this past week show that: - the Iraqis have failed to meet 15 of 18 key benchmarks; - Iraqi police forces are more interested in igniting rather than ending a civil war; - and violence has not subsided despite the President's assurances to the contrary. "The unfortunate truth is that Iraq's leaders have not taken meaningful steps toward building a country that can stand on its own in spite of President Bush spending almost $3 billion each week on this war. "The release of the Bush/Petraeus report this week is yet another chance to evaluate these shortcomings and finally change course. We must responsibly end the war and return our focus where it belongs: defeating Al Qaeda and fighting a real, effective war on terrorism. "If President Bush again refuses to do so, it will be up to the Congress to show him the way and that is exactly what Democrats intend to do. When President Bush had a Republican Congress, they ignored the bipartisan and unanimous recommendations of the 9/11 Commission. The Democratic Congress passed these recommendations within months of our taking charge and they're now law. "And Democrats have voted time and time again this year to change the mission in Iraq. Unfortunately, only a handful of Republicans have had the courage to vote with us. The vast majority have chosen to stick with President Bush and his failed policies. "Many Republicans spent the summer saying that that September would be the time to change direction. September is here. Now they must finally stand with Democrats, our troops and the American people by voting to responsibly end the war. "Just days after September 11th, President Bush said of bin Laden: "There's an old poster out West, as I recall, that said, 'Wanted: Dead or Alive.'" He went on to say: "One thing for certain is we're going to get him running and keep him running and bring him to justice." "Now six years have passed, and bin Laden has not been killed. He has not been captured. He is not on the run. To the contrary, our intelligence indicates he has used this time to rebuild his terrorist organization. President Bush's failed policies have been bin Laden's best recruiting tool. It is bin Laden who has used the breathing room created by the war in Iraq to regroup, re-tool, and recruit. "So, Mr. President, on this sixth anniversary of 9/11, we ask you to honor the lives we lost on that tragic day by keeping your promise to bring bin Laden to justice and destroy his terror network once and for all. The families of those we lost on September 11th, our troops serving overseas and all Americans deserve no less. This is Senator Harry Reid. Thank you for listening."

     This is another photo that deserves to be preserved for posterity. This is Air Force One on the tarmac at Al Asad Airbase, Al Anbar Province, Iraq, September 3, 2007, for President George W. Bush's Labor Day visit to the troops. Notice the sunlight catching the tail of the aircraft. As President Bush arrived around noon Bagdad time, and stayed for about 6 hours, that would place the time of this photograph in the early evening. American national will on the ground in support of liberty, not just for Iraq, but for the entire Middle East.

     May you pass every test.

     What is the essence of God-Harmony? The answer to this question provides a foundation, and an ever-rising framework, for understanding why the most courageous chelas, those who have the most devoted hearts, should seriously consider participating in the picketing project that we are developing, and which we are moving forward with.

     Indeed, we are speaking about those chelas who have a desire in their heart to be at the forefront of the legions of victory — Victory for the mission of Church Universal and Triumphant, and the Summit Lighthouse, and for the individual path of the ascension, for you individually and for millions.

     Therefore, always remember Morya's statement in that regard, and never forget it, never let it pass from your conscious awareness, that he is ready to sponsor millions for this activity, but the trueness of hearts to him, as the Chief Executive of the Organization, and just as importantly, as the Chohan of the First Ray, which means trueness to the fundamentals of the path, must be ascertained first. You know, it is possible to lock this master out of your heart, even bar the door, while you continue to praise him with your lips. And that means where flaws in the diamond of devotion are found, and we are speaking about devotion to truth, and to the law, they must be removed. When the diamond of devotion within this community has been perfected, then will the Master send a giant wave of golden water, and millions will see it coming, and they will all jump on their surf boards, and they will catch that wave, and ride it into the very heart of this community, and out will pour into the world, a mighty wave of victory that will sweep the planet and bring in the Golden Age.

     And so, what is the essence of God-Harmony? Before answering that question, allow me to present a diagram that can serve as a background for our consideration. Some of you may remember the first place where this particular diagram appeared. Such a memory, if you have it, has a purpose. The position of the Hierarchy of God-Harmony is indicated by the bright red arrow.

     Purity is a quality with the highest degree of definition, I can assure you of that. One might consider the the quality of pure water, and derive from that, the idea, an erroneous idea, that what defines pure water, is that there is nothing in it. This is an erroneous idea because it is only one-half of the truth. The other half of the truth is that pure water contains water molecules, two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen locked in a powerful combination, a very definitive geometry of divine purpose, with a high degree of functionality. What could possibly be more functional in the scheme of life within which we are embedded, and within which we have our being, than water? For example, a dry piece of ground will forever remain a dry piece of ground, until you soak it with water. When you soak it with water, all of sudden, seeds germinate, and the structures of plant life appear in abundance. And that is the basis of organic life on earth.

     Therefore, purity is not just the absence of polluting elements. Purity is defined as the presence of a very well defined geometry of divine functionality, absence the presence of alien factors that get in the way of that functionality. So we have pure water, we have pure gold, we have pure silver, and so forth.

     And so, when we are speaking about the quality of purity associated with the Hierarchy of God-Harmony, make note of the fact that we are speaking about the quality of purity that is associated with the desire body, and that is associated with the emotional quadrant (the third quadrant of the clock). And one might then make that obvious connection, that we are speaking about the purity of emotion then, or the purity of desire. And therefore, we remind ourselves, that the quality of purity does not speak to simply a lack of those elements of pollution in our emotions and desires, we are speaking about the presence of a tangible and real divine geometry that has the highest definition, just like water, or gold, or silver.

     The "thing" that God our Father and Mother intend to be there, in the desire body, generally speaking, is called TRUTH. Whatever the particular geometry of divine substance that resides therein, it would fall under the general category of truth. What pure feelings are supposed to occupy the emotional body? An infinite array of divine feelings. For example, we cherish the Love which God our Father and Mother pour out upon us. For example, we are in awe before the majesty and beauty of God our Father and Mother.

     These two qualities, using them as a simple example, are as different as gold and silver. They each have their own unique geometry. In other words, these energy systems are supposed to resonate within the container of the divine emotional body, and when they do, it represents a very highly defined energy system, just like gold, or just like silver as two examples of very highly defined energy systems that we find in the outer domain.

     And therefore we see that the state of cherishment, is at bottom, a state of truth. The state of awe, is at bottom a state of truth. True, the vision of a higher truth elicits these energy modalities within the emotional body. But the energy modality itself, is a category of truth, as this is what God our Father and Mother designed for our desire bodies to contain. You are in a pure state of truth, when you are in state of cherishment before the Love of God for you. You are in a state of truth, when you are in a state of awe before the Beauty of God.

     And this speaks to the essence of not only purity, but to the essence of God-Harmony. Remember these two things are really the same thing. God-Harmony equals Purity. And therefore, just as purity represents a condition of harmony with the truth, the essence of God-Harmony is that same condition of harmony with the truth. The mantra, therefore, for the Hierarchy of Cancer, and God-Harmony is as follows:

I Must be in a State of Harmony with the Truth.
I Must be in a State of Harmony with the Truth.
I Must be in a State of Harmony with the Truth.
I Must be in a State of Harmony with the Truth.
I Must be in a State of Harmony with the Truth.
I Must be in a State of Harmony with the Truth.
I Must be in a State of Harmony with the Truth.
I Must be in a State of Harmony with the Truth.
I Must be in a State of Harmony with the Truth.
I Must be in a State of Harmony with the Truth.
I Must be in a State of Harmony with the Truth.
I Must be in a State of Harmony with the Truth.

     True enough, that one day, your whole being will simply radiate a divine symphony that says, in a billion different ways, I AM in Harmony with the Truth. But before you can get there, you need to cross the bridge that leads from here to there! And that is the bridge of invocation. A bridge of invocation that allows the soul to cross over from a condition of lack, to a condition of abundance. As you give the above affirmation, the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood will rush to your side to help make it so.

     Though, this requires some decisions on your part, does it not? When it comes to recognizing a condition of non-harmony, and making the decision to let it go into the flame?

     What leads to a state of harmony with the truth? A conscious determination is the primary mechanism. The determination must be strong. But it also must be conscious. For determination to be conscious, it must be illuminated and guided by understanding.

     From experience we know that determination and understanding do not leap up in our lives in full power over night. Therefore, we know this to be true, simply by virtue of the common sense that radiates out of our very own hearts, that we come into harmony with the truth in stages, just like polluted water is only purified in stages. Take for example a sewage treatment plant. Many steps are implemented before the fluid that flows into a sewage treatment plant will flow out as clear water fit to drink. This would be the first great truth that we are asked to come into harmony with, in terms of the process, and even the need for the process, that all elements of pollution must be eliminated from the water, and that this is where we are intended to build up our determination and understanding in its most preliminary form and structure.

     This particular truth has many subdivisions, just like a water treatment plant has many mechanisms. As water can contain many pollutants, many mechanisms are required to deal effectively with the challenge of removing them one by one. We identify pollutants using a precision criteria, and we build filters designed to remove them. Our filters consist of two primary elements. The first element is one that is designed to identify and separate out the pollutant. That is a process of differentiation, and it is a function of the emerging Christ mind. The second element is the mechanism by which identified pollutants are consumed. That would be the powerful divine chemical known as the violet flame which we pump into the filter chamber through the action of the Science of the Spoken Word, i.e. through invocation.

     This diagram shows the factors of pollution that are associated with each major element of divine reality as they are plotted on the Cosmic Clock, and as they are associated with the twelve Solar Hierarchies. This is a recapitulation of a teaching given by the Ascended Lady Master Mother Mary through the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet very early in the organization's history. Mid 1970's I believe. My diagram indicates that the presence of pollution eliminates the possibility that the energy of a given hierarchy could manifest in its pure state. That is why the main titles are crossed out.

     To reach an actual state of God-Harmony on the 6 o'clock line, one must do two things. One must remove the pollutants on the first five lines as follows, while making sure that you are not left with a vacuum, in other words, that you are consciously affirming and amplifying the flow, through you, in the form of thoughts, feelings and actions, of the proper geometry of the divine energy associated with a specific hierarchy. As you come to terms, in a very conscious way, with what must be held closely to the heart, and what must be quickly thrown into the trash, note how the quality of illumination and understanding increase on each line, providing an increase in that valuable quality of determination, which is a spiritual strength, that allows you to deal decisively with each specific category of pollutant, and which provides the basis for the conscious and persistent amplification of the proper (pure) energy geometry.

1. Eliminate all misqualifications from the 1 o'clock line of God-Love. Stop with the hatred, stop with the contempt, with the disdain, and the mild-dislike, no matter how justified you might think you are in a given situation. Multiply understanding and determination to accomplish this. And within your understanding and determination, within that fire of your emerging Christ Identity, make the conscious effort to manifest the actual divine quality of God-Love. What is the quality of God-Love? Work with the Masters to figure this out. Manifest that quality. 2. Eliminate all misqualifications from the 2 o'clock line of God-Mastery. Stop with the doubt and the fear. Multiply understanding and determination to accomplish this. And within your understanding and determination, within that fire of your emerging Christ Identity, make the conscious effort to manifest the actual divine quality of God-Mastery. What is the quality of God-Mastery? Work with the Masters to figure this out. Manifest that quality. 3. Eliminate all misqualification from the 3 o'clock line of God-Control. Stop with the human pride, which manifests as a stubborn respect and loyalty to old ways of doing things. Multiply understanding and determination to accomplish this. What is the quality of God-Control? Work with the Masters to figure this out. Manifest that quality. 4. Eliminate all misqualification from the 4 o'clock line of God-Obedience. Stop with the rebellion, which manifests as a refusal to respect the law. Multiply understanding and determination to accomplish this. What is the quality of God-Obedience? Work with the Masters to figure this out. Manifest that quality. 5. Eliminate all misqualification from the 5 o'clock line of God-Wisdom. Stop indulging ignorance, which manifests as an inertia that keeps the soul from reaching for a higher understanding and appreciation for the law. Multiply understanding and determination to accomplish this. What is the quality of God-Wisdom? Work with the Masters to figure this out. Manifest that quality.

     How does one multiply understanding and determination in each of these areas? Indeed, how does one accomplish the alchemy of turning base metals into gold? This alchemical process is actually performed by the Master within the domain of a loyal and devoted relationship. That is the chalice wherein the actual alchemical process takes place. Within the chalice of a loyal and devoted relationship.

     And so, you see that the Master cannot do it all for you, as a loyal and devoted relationship has two involved individuals. What is your part in the development of that loyal and devoted relationship? You put time and effort into that relationship. You put your heart into that relationship. You make an effort to try to understand what the Master is teaching. You make an effort to understand why a particular teaching is important to the Master. And in this effort that you make, you can see that you are creating by that effort, a relationship, a domain of interaction that is composed of your own energy and your own decisions. Within that chalice the Master provides the catalyst that changes the base metals into gold.

     All of this provides the backdrop for the discussion and evaluation of real-life circumstances, especially those circumstances which form the atmosphere within our own church and community today. In this we have a very clear criteria to evaluate just where, in all truth, our organization is currently going.

     Beginning with this fundamental premise, that the essence of God-Harmony means harmony with the truth, and moreover, that the Masters have taught us what are those elements of truth that we must come into harmony with, we can ask the following questions:

1. When Church Manager Linda Worobec planned an entertainment program for the July 2003 Freedom Conference, that contained the performance of a Beatles tune, was this act in harmony with the truth? No. 2. When Church Manager Linda Worobec printed the names of Lennon and McCartney in the program, indicating that this was entertainment that would be approved by the Ascended Masters, was this act in harmony with the truth? No. 3. When Church Manager Linda Worobec herself performed the Beatles tune on the Altar of the Holy Grail, in King Arthur's Court, on the evening of July 4, 2003, before the Conference participants, both present locally, and present worldwide via the Internet Broadcast, was this act in harmony with the truth? No. 4. In the aftermath of this performance, when Church Manager Linda Worobec refused to admit that she had done anything wrong, was that act in harmony with the truth? No. 5. In the aftermath of this performance, when Church Manager Linda Worobec refused to express any degree of contrition or repentance for having trampled upon one of the core teachings of the Ascended Masters, was that act in harmony with the truth? No. 6. In the aftermath of this performance, when Church Manager Linda Worobec, in a letter to the community, justified her performance as being correct, and in line with the training she had received under the mantle of Messengership, was that stand in harmony with the truth? No. 7. When any student is found in a state of non-alignment with the truth, the most fundamental requirement of the path is that the student come into harmony with the truth, and to do so quickly. Church Manager Linda Worobec has refused over a period of four years to come into harmony with the truth in this area. Is that stand in harmony with the truth? No. 8. When the leadership refused to hold Linda Worobec accountable for this act of overt rebellion, was that act in harmony with the truth? No. 9. Over the course of four years, the leadership has allowed Linda Worobec to continue to parade her rebellion before the congregation, proud, arrogant, and unapologetic. Is that in harmony with the truth? No. 10. Over the course of four years, the membership has not lifted a finger to apply the principle of accountability to Linda Worobec. Is that in harmony with the truth? No. 11. This event has caused the collective consciousness of the organization to come into a state of sympathy and non-confrontation with an electrode of overt rebellion which spoke from the Altar on the evening of July 4, 2003, and continues to speak from the Altar to this very day. Is that situation in harmony with the truth? No.

     The false pastors who lead this organization today, and they are false pastors, would have the students believe that this state of non-harmony with the truth can be ignored, and swept under the rug. That the principle of accountability, is a far greater poison to this movement, than is the electrode of rebellion that currently speaks from the very Altar.

     I have set forth the principles above, which expose such a teaching, as an outright lie.

     As you can see from the teaching on the cosmic clock, lack of harmony at the base, speaks to the pollution of the crown. Leaders who refuse to come into harmony with the truth, are not able to receive divine direction at the crown. They rule by the human intellect. This is the reason for holding leaders accountable. The process of accountability gives them an opportunity to come into alignment with the truth. If they take advantage of that opportunity, be confessing the error, expressing a genuine sense of contrition for it, and by performing an appropriate penance, they can continue to lead, because they have cleared the decks so that divine direction from the Masters can be received. But if they refuse to come into alignment with the truth, then that person, who indulges that block towards divine direction, must be replaced. Only those who are open to divine direction are qualified to lead an ascended master organization. This is a matter of safety overall.

     The false pastors who are in charge of this organization today, lead the organization into the acceptance of a lie that is destroying, at this very moment, any possibility that the Children of God can make any meaningful progress on the path, and towards the victory of the mission of this organization. Indeed, they are robbing every member of this organization of the opportunity to experience that state of cherishment and awe before the reality of God's Love and Beauty that I mentioned above.

     Remember that the alchemy that changes base metals into gold, is a product of a devoted and loyal relationship between the student and the Master. In the domain of that relationship, within the very geometry of devotion and loyalty, within that chalice of inner reality, does the birth of the Christ Consciousness take place. Yes, the consciousness of the Beauty of God, and His Love for us.

     Every student must be focused on what it means to maintain a devoted and loyal relationship to all the Masters in general, and to El Morya in particular. The integrity of one's path depends on it.

     On the part of the student, this devotion to the Master, must translate to a devotion to the principles and the teachings, which the Masters have set forth. One of the most important teachings the Masters have set forth, relates to the fallen angel identity of the Beatles, and the poison which spews from their four lower bodies, a poison of Satan-Sympathy that has caused the downfall of previous civilizations. This poisonous vibration is so powerful, that it can grab a Child of God right out of the hand of the Masters, as the fate of Sean Prophet himself illustrates.

     The Masters have told us, that all associations with the progenitors of Rock Music must be eschewed, and this is for the survival of the soul. In no case would it be permissible or healthy to any degree that the lifework of the Beatles, in any form, could be set before the congregation as a mode of benign entertainment, as Church Manager Linda Worobec did on the evening of July 4, 2003.

     The condition of devotion and loyalty to the Master, which allows that relationship domain to be formed, which serves as the chalice for the important alchemical changes necessary to allow for the emergence of the Christ Consciousness in you, requires at least, on the part of the student, the simple act of standing up, and telling the leadership that this act was wrong, and that the person responsible for it must be held to account. At least a confession of wrongdoing, and an assignment of a penance was in order, at the very least.

     The public act of desecration of the Teaching, and the Altar, in the sight of hundreds of students, must be confessed publically, and the penance must be assigned publically.

     What does devotion and loyalty mean, if the student will not stand up and defend what is clearly one of the highest priorities of the Master? If the student believes that these mean nothing, well then, no relationship can be established, and no alchemical changes can be wrought. The student will remain like a car on blocks, with wheels spinning, but going nowhere.

     Indeed these false pastors, over the last four years, have encouraged every remaining student in this organization to drive up on those blocks. They sit there with their wheels spinning, going nowhere, deluded into thinking that they are making progress towards the goal. Well, they are not.

     A whole complicated matrix of synthetic conceptions have been introduced into the mind of the student body, which the false pastors have put there to take the place of, actually to directly displace, the true golden veins of genuine devotion and loyalty that must make up the relationship between the student and the Master. They have deceived everyone into adopting these synthetic substitutes, in place of their duties and responsibilities to the very principles of devotion and loyalty to the Masters who have given us this Teaching.

     Excuse me for bringing this up again, but the condition of Pearls Online tells the whole story. They have allowed the paragraphing to be destroyed, and they have not lifted a finger to fix it in four years. Yet they would build a fancy new office building for themselves. They have programmed the mind of the congregation to take this for granted, that the teaching will be debased, without apology, and the fact that they would do nothing about it, should alarm no one.

     Look at how they have polarized the emotional bodies of the congregants against the genuine and wholesome sense of inner responsibility that they naturally feel when it comes to the Teaching. To hold Linda Worobec accountable for her rebellion, well, that is called fanaticism! Heaven forbid, that anyone would feel these dirty and loathsome inner drives that would have one labeled a fanatic! The messenger of the truth who brings you a picture of what is really going on, that picture they tear to shreds, throw on the ground, and make it clear thereby, that loyalty to them, loyalty to the false pastors, that this is more important, more righteous, than any devotion to the truth. What a twisted mess they have hatched in the minds of so many.

     This proves that so many once strong ministers, were never acting on their own strength, but on that of the messenger. When she left the scene, they became immediately vulnerable to their age-old momentums of spinelessness.

     Indeed, these false pastors have turned the teaching upside down. First, just by staying in the pulpit, when resignation and retirement was the order of the day. And second by wearing into the pulpit, not the robes of current communion, but only those of past glory, not realizing these have become the tattered streamers of personal shame, yet still referring to them, in their blindness, as the robes of Christ. Indeed have they led the people astray as in times of old. All of them, to a man, to a woman, keep their lips zipped to guard the source of their salaries, having no faith whatsoever that the Masters will care for those who stand up and fight for them. Cowards they are, each one.

     That twisted mess of confusion they have planted in the minds of so many, it is not wisdom, as these false pastors would have you believe. Those are the tentacles of the very beast that would rob you of your ascension in the light. Right now, every one of you has made it as far on the path as you will ever get in this life, unless you can find the courage in your heart to throw off these falsehoods, and stand up for what the free world already recognizes as wisdom, and that is, the principle of accountability must be applied to those who break the law. Very simple.

     There it is, on the 6 o'clock line, the line of God-Harmony, a situation that has organizational breadth and depth, with the entire membership REFUSING to come into harmony with a very important aspect of the truth. Indeed, indulging in their desire bodies, a REFUSAL to come into alignment with a very important truth, a truth that the Messenger as Mother, devoted her life to. Indeed, look at how these false pastors, who proclaim the love of Mother with their lips, trash her teaching, even on the 6 o'clock line.

     How could anyone possibly think they could achieve a state of God-Harmony that would allow for their Ascension in the Light, when they indulge the REFUSAL to come into harmony with such a fundamental truth? No greater delusion has there ever been. This state of refusal must be undone, and now is the only acceptable time.

     You know, there is a tendency to think one can bypass the requirements of harmony with a particular truth, as long as you are in "harmony" with other aspects of the truth. But this idea that one can serve both God and Mammon, you know it is false. The idea that you can show courage in one area, while refusing to show courage in another, make no mistake about it, the courage you think you have in the former is a delusion. There is no courage there. It is only an abstraction resident within the intellect, the substance of self-justification, that has nothing to do with the real world.

     To be in harmony is to exhibit the quality of loyalty and devotion, a quality that proves its existence only when tested in circumstances which present to the student an ascendent opposite. In other words, harmony always requires the soul to show spine, to stand up in defense of a truth, in the face of those who are willfully trashing it. If you have harmony, you will have spine. Be not deceived then. If you indulge a condition of spineless on one fundamental point of the truth, that is the reality of the totality of your spine. If you indulge a condition of spinelessness on one fundamental point of the truth, the truth is, that there is really no spine there at all. When it comes to testing on any other point of the law, you will find, in concrete circumstances, that you fail there as well. Indeed when circumstances require you to stand up for the truth, your mind will become filled with all manner of confusions and hesitations, those tentacles which wrap around your ankles, which immobilize you. And when you finally decide you want to do the right thing, the opportunity has passed.

     This does not have to be a permanent situation. It's not supposed to be. We are called to make our weaknesses into strengths. You can begin to turn the tables on your fears, doubts, and confusions, by taking a stand right now in this situation, for what is obviously the correct thing to do.

     Who has the courage then, right now, to stand up for the simplicity of what is right? Who has the courage? Throwing up your hands, and running away in disgust, like so many have done, these are as spineless as they come. No, courage means you stand your ground, and you fight for the truth where you are.

     Step forth and volunteer to carry these picket signs into the midst of the community. That is the only path of freedom from the morass of failure into which you have fallen.

     So what if these false pastors throw you out? The Holy Angels will simply transfer the light of the Altar of the Holy Grail to your new and lawful sanctuary, out on the sidewalk as you keep your picket signs held high, and continue your calls and devotions there. When your brothers and sisters leave to go home, they will see you there, see you standing your ground, and many will join you. Why will they join you? Because they will see that there is more light out on the sidewalk, even the light of courage, of conviction, of truth, than there is inside the sanctuary sponsored by these false pastors. This is how we are going to win back this organization. When there are more people out on the sidewalk holding up these signs, than inside the official sanctuary, only then will these false pastors fly the white flag of surrender, not from any amount of conviction, or devotion to principle, but because the source of their salaries, has been thrown into doubt. Then you enter into the negotiations that will bring those who are guilty of wrongdoing to justice, with a constant eye on the most important goal of establishing procedures by which future leaders can be held accountable for their weaknesses and transgressions, thus safeguarding the pilot house from any further intrusions by the pirates of the shadow world.

     Remember this. The only way evil can triumph, is if good men, and women, do nothing. Remember, this is no different than picketing an abortion clinic, except the odds are 10,000 times greater in terms of the survival of the planet.

     As noted, this truth cannot be approached or assimilated directly, but only in stages. If the fallen ones can trap a soul into a state of non-alignment upon one of the outer rings of testing, or upon one of the lower levels, the soul's homeward path can be effectively blocked, and the soul deprived of the opportunity to enter into this highest truth, deprived of the state of freedom associated with its highest divine estate.

     True it is, and you can see this everywhere, that the false pastors can keep your hopes up, even when they have you sitting at the very end of a box canyon, they are good at that, they light a campfire, and they will lead everyone in song, and we can all hug each other, and feel good, but that moment is temporary, and the hope of victory associated with it, false, a fact you will come face to face with at the end of this life opportunity.

     Remember what it was said of these false pastors, who refuse to enter in themselves, and by their example and misguidance, will deter others from entering in. That is exactly what is happening in this situation. Every person in this organization has faced this situation before, during many past lives, where they have swallowed the lies of the false pastors, where they have embraced the lies of the false pastors, where they have chosen to fuse themselves to a state of non-harmony in relationship to a fundamental truth, and thereby, forfeited their opportunity to find their way home into the arms of God in a given life.

     Every person in this organization has returned to that very "Y" in the road, where the hosts of heaven hope that finally they will make the right choice, and be able to move on. But again, instead of taking the high road of courage, duty, responsibility, and self-sacrifice, they have been snared by the sympathy for the rebel in their midst, their wagon wheels being captured by those same old ruts, and thus they are "guided" once again onto the lower road of ignorance, neglect, and false hope.

     The soul must come into harmony with the realm of microscopic, tiny, and small truths, before it can come into harmony with medium sized truths. This is because a condition of discord associated with a state of non-harmony with the tiny truths, produces a turbulence upon the fabric of the mind which will not allow the next larger domain of truth to coalesce within the consciousness. The larger truth remains invisible.

     After coming into a state of harmony with the microscopic, tiny, and small truths, the soul must next come into a state of harmony with medium sized truths, before it can come into harmony with large truths. This is because a condition of discord associated with a state of non-harmony with the medium sized truths, produces a turbulence upon the fabric of the mind which will not allow the next larger domain of truth to coalesce within the consciousness. The next larger domain of truth remains invisible.

     After coming into a state of harmony with the microscopic, tiny, and small truths, and then the medium sized truths, the soul must next come into a state of harmony with the large sized truths, before it can come into harmony with monumental truths. This is because a condition of discord associated with a state of non-harmony with the large sized truths, produces a turbulence upon the fabric of the mind which will not allow the next larger domain of truth to coalesce within the consciousness. Again, the next higher domain of truth will remain invisible.

     After coming into a state of harmony with the microscopic, tiny, and small truths, and then the medium sized truths, and then the large truths, the soul must next come into a state of harmony with the monumental sized truths, before it can come into harmony with cosmic truths. This is because a condition of discord associated with a state of non-harmony with the monumental sized truths, produces a turbulence upon the fabric of the mind which will not allow the next larger domain of truth to coalesce within the consciousness. Indeed, the cosmic truths remain invisible to the soul.

     The state of harmony that the soul anchors in relationship to each level of truth, provides a foundation upon which the next layer of harmony is built. This layering is necessary, because each subsequent layer, i.e. the next higher layer, is opposed by an incrementally greater force of darkness and one must have the foundation of the lower level of harmony in order to overcome the opposition related to the next higher level. This diagram illustrates these basic principles, and of course the resemblance that this diagram has to the layers of the pyramid are not a coincidence. The layers of the pyramid point to the exact same principle.

     When the soul refuses to come into a state of harmony with fundamental truths and obligations, the soul forfeits the opportunity of advancing on the path, the soul forfeits the opportunity of arriving at that state of ultimate harmony with the ultimate truth, which is God's Love for the soul personally, from which all power, and all freedom derive.

     The leadership, because of their intractable sympathy for a rebel in their midst, is currently holding the membership below that level. And so you can see why my reference above to the picketing of an abortion clinic was apropos. The divine missions of thousands of souls, and even of an entire planet, is being aborted as these false pastors successfully persuade the people of the wisdom of clinging to a point of non-harmony with the truth.

     Those who have courage, please step up to the plate, and carry these picket signs.

     May you pass every test.

     After taking the photo of the Western Scrub Jay which I have shared below, about twenty minutes later, about another half mile down the trail, I heard a bunch of scrub jay squawking coming from a small grove of oak trees. I approached with the hope of getting another good shot to add to my collection. But they never showed themselves. As a compensation, I caught a swift movement into an open area of sky, and I trained my camera in that direction and clicked off this shot. It was one of those rare times when the camera was already in focus, or fairly close to being in focus.

     Here is an example of the fear that the forces of darkness project into the minds of the people of this organization, and this fear masquerades as wisdom, and this illustrates exactly the consequences which derive from this sad state of affairs where a known quantity of darkness in the leadership is indulged by the congregation. It spreads throughout the organization, and it is assimilated. Yes it is assimilated. And that assimilated darkness, specifically the psychology associated with it, the mechanical gears of thought associated with it, which the violet flame cannot wash away, in as much as the soul rejects the truth that would replace it, becomes a point of vulnerability, a lens through which the false hierarchy can inject utter nonsense into the minds of those who are supposed to be students of the masters:

"You're going too far with this sign campaign. This is not the 60's and protests such as you urge are likely to cause a shattering of the forcefield that does remain. Someone who does attempt to use these signs could, and should be detained for disturbing the peace of the property and conference and banned for good from the property. Stick to the blog and articles, that at least is protected clearly by free speech, but urging others to disrupt a conference and the beauty of the property is not right. If it were me in charge of physical security for the Ranch and you tried this stunt, you'd better have a lawyer and plenty of supply to back it up."

     Take a moment to look at this under the microscope. It illustrates an important principle which the Masters have taught us related to how the Children of God get pulled away from the standard of truth, yes, by the fallen angels, and their instruments, and they have no idea of just how far they have been led astray. In this person's mind, speaking the truth in the midst of this community would be such a disruption that all of sudden you have people clamoring for the threat of government power to stamp it out. This gives us the evidence that the mind has been pulled many miles away from the central standard of truth, and when confronted with what is the truth, it appears alien. And this is happening right now, inside of our community.

     The Beatles are fallen angels. Even the best example of the archdeceiver, responsible for the destruction of past civilizations through the misuse of sound. Linda Worobec was the instrument of the fallen angels in her bid to proclaim that the Beatles should have a place of honor on the very Altar of the Holy Grail. The fact that she would confess no wrong doing, makes her more than an instrument of the fallen angels, exhibiting a strong and intractable loyalty to their agenda, even as she stands before the congregation in the guise of a minister of light. This is not a gray form of darkness. This is pitch black. And it has been sold to the community as wisdom. And the violet flame cannot wash any of this away, because the people involved all reject the truth that would replace it.

     In reference to the issue of disrupting forcefields, let's see. What kind of forcefield is associated with an organization that is awash with sympathy for the devil? (I.e sympathy for Linda Worobec and her rebellion, and the support of the leadership for it). I think the word delusional would describe it.

     The precise geometry of the delusion can be described in many ways. It is sort of like an inverted diamond with many polluted facets. For example, the idea that everything is ok. That is a delusion. The idea that the organization can expand under these circumstances. That is a delusion. The idea that anyone is actually making progress on the path of initiation under these circumstances, That is a delusion. The idea that the path of the ascension could be founded on a state of sympathy for overt expressions of darkness and rebellion in the leadership. This is a delusion. The idea that anyone could possibly quality for the ascension without having the spine to stand up and challenge the presence of darkness in the leadership of an ascended master organization. That is a delusion. The idea that Linda Worobec did no wrong. That is a delusion. The idea that Church Manager Rev. Linda Worobec should not be held accountable for breaking many fundamental path rules while in a position of high leadership. That is a delusion. The idea that there is any substantial forcefield of truth remaining that could be shattered. That is probably the biggest delusion of all.

     True enough, standing up for truth would disrupt that forcefield. But that is the point. There has to be some who have the courage to stand up and to use their bodies, as Jesus did, to count as examples. This is in exactly the same tradition as the Master chasing the money changers out of the temple. This act gives the other members of the community a more tangible reference point from which to make their decisions. Is this organization really going in the right direction when people carry signs that quote the Master El Morya, and show how the leadership is turning their backs on Him, and for their efforts, they get thrown out? People cannot make decisions so well from the abstract. But when they see it, when it actually happens, that will give people those tangible factors from which more concrete conclusions can be made.

     Isn't that amazing. Think about it. A Church Manager performs a Beatles tune on the Altar of the Holy Grail, contradicting and trampling upon what the Messenger and the Masters have taught us about the fallen angel identity of the Beatles and the fatally poisonous vibration that emanates from everything they ever did. This minister and Church Manager, one Linda Worobec, is protected by the leadership, and gets to stay and remain in good standing. But if you stand up inside of the community, with a sign that points out the dishonesty of this situation, you are the person they are going to throw out!

     We need to people to stand up and make this point. Come on. There must be some who still have some spine left. Just a little spark of true spine is enough. Great things can grow from small beginnings.

     May you pass every test.

     The time has come to raise the issue of leadership accountability to a new level. The time has come to take out our mops and to swab the decks, which are awash with sympathy for the devil, sympathy for that Luciferian Pride which will not bend the knee, and which refuses to adhere to the most basic path rules and responsibilities. We are looking for devoted souls to carry these picket signs into the very midst of the community. We are looking for those souls who are devoted to the victory of this organization, the Summit Lighthouse and Church Universal and Triumphant, to take a more than ordinary stand for the truth.

     Remember what it means to stand for the truth. To stand for the truth, is to stand with our Brother El Morya. To turn your back on the truth, that is to turn your back on our Brother El Morya. Look at where your back is turned. That is where your heart is not.

     Now, in as much as the following sign represents a double portion of TRUTH, as it is printed on both the front side, and the back side, it is a banner that would fit comfortably at any time in the very hand of the one known as the God of Truth, the name given by the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood to the very same Master El Morya, Chohan of the First Ray, the initiator of all of earth evolutions at all levels in all First Ray qualties.

     And remember, Devotion to the truth is the first order of business. Truly, in the midst of ferocious opposition it is those who have mastery on the First Ray, who will stand fast, and will not be put down. Yes, they love the truth that much.

     According to tradition, these materials have been set up for the Do-It-Yourself Keeper of the Flame. Using your hands to make things that advance the purposes of the Masters is a good habit to get into. The sign front and back is formatted for a standard size letter sheet that can be printed out on any ink jet printer and in full color. You can cut out a piece of cardboard, and then glue the front-side and back-side printouts to that, and attach a stick about 4 feet long. The stick could be made longer to extend higher than the sign where you could mount a colorful pendant type banner that will flutter in the breeze to catch peoples attention.

     Of course, we can have these signs made in quantity, and quite a bit bigger for a reasonable cost, according to the level of interest. Please send me an email if you are interested in stepping up to the front lines in the battle against the forces of darkness that are trying to get control of this organization. When I have an idea of how many people have the courage to stand up, I will have a sense of how many of these I should have made. And perhaps there are some who would want to team up and unfurl a banner in the midst of the congregation. We can talk about that. Please email me if you are interested.

     If nothing else, this call-to-arms will serve as a reality check for those who think they have the fire of courage in their hearts. Those who do, will step forth. Those who don't will sit on their hands. O yes, and they will have all kinds of reasons why hands are for sitting on, but never, no never to be used to carry high the banner of truth.

     Whenever an organization is awash with sympathy for the devil, sympathy for that Luciferian Pride that refuses to bend the knee before the standards of the Path of Initiation, the waters have an oil slick on top, and it is called shame. Just so you know.

     How important is it to stop and honor the sacrifice of those who have given their lives for the victory of freedom? How important is that? It is extremely important. It is monumentally important. It is tremendously important. It is 10,000 times more important than what the human mind could ever hope to conceive. Indeed, when you take the time to do that, you are for a brief moment directly facing the central sun of truth in your own heart. There is the victory of freedom.

     This is a recording of Taps played by a Marine Bugler at the Memorial Day ceremony held at Arlington National Cemetery in May of 2003. You can download that, and put it in your startup folder, so that it plays every time you start your computer. You raise your right hand in proper military salute to those fallen, say a brief prayer for their souls, and for the support of their families, and while you are at it, you can say a brief prayer for those who have been wounded in this historic battle for the victory of freedom in Iraq, for their families, and the doctors and nurses who care for them.

     I see that our El Morya Sentences which we take the time each day to write upon our white board, at least once, preferably more, which I specified some time ago as an important exercise and discipline, can serve as the outer slices of a meaty sandwich. This is our sentence, which can be divided into two distinct slices.

"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."

     You will remember, no doubt, that this exercise sentence was based on a statement that the Master El Morya made in a 1995 dictation, the one that was given under the title "Clean House", wherein he said that he was ready to sponsor millions of souls for this path, but he had to make sure that the members of this organization were true to him.

     This is whole-wheat slice one:

I must do everything in my power to
prepare the way for the day when

     This is whole-wheat slice two:

the Master El Morya will bring millions
of souls into this organization.

     This is the (red) meat that we place in between the two slices:

This organization is awash with sympathy for the devil.

When the sandwich
is put together, it
looks like this,
a tasty treat:

"How can Morya bring millions of souls into this organization when it is awash with sympathy for the devil?"

     What is the answer to that question? The answer is, that he can not, and will not. And so what does that mean? It means that everyone has got to get out their mops and start swabbing the decks!

     I propose the following chart to be placed above every Chart of the I Am Presence in this organziation to remind all members that we have quite a mopping up job in front of us.

     Sympathy for the Devil? What does that mean? Against all path rules and responsibilities, especially from the standpoint of the highest standards expected from the leadership, Rev. Linda Worobec trampled all over one of the most important teachings that the Masters set before us. She would not admit any mistake, nor confess any error, or agree to do any penance, thereby breaking more path rules. Why no confession? Why no spirit of contrition? Why no repentance? She was simply too proud to admit that she could make a mistake. Too proud of her mantles. Too proud of her supposed training. Too proud of her supposed relationship with the Messenger. Too proud. And all of the congregation stands in sympathy with her pride. That's right. All the congregation stands in sympathy with her pride. And what goeth before the fall? Well, it is pride. The pride of the fallen one is a poison to the lightbearer, kills off the sensitive fabric of the divine soul it does. Sympathy for the devil means sympathy for the stiff necked condition of pride that will never allow them to admit to doing anything wrong. The organization is awash with it.

     The opposite of sympathy, is a strong spine that demands not condemnation, but accountability. Accountability for the very survival of the soul who has been imprisoned by these chains of pride.

     I Am the pearl of God realization that you wear on your finger. A man should be able to say that to his twin flame. Though I suppose, that years ago, this would not have been true, in as much as a pearl takes time to develop, incrementally, as it has been said before. In this work of art, the diamonds, 12 in number, signify the purity of the Will of God manifest on each of the twelve lines of the Cosmic Clock; even as indestructible determination. How else can all the layers of the pearl represent purity and luminosity? It is the only way.
