Over the Last Christmas Season (2008) I was
inspired to do a search for Christmas songs performed by John Denver. I purchased, among
other things, his Montana Christmas Skies DVD, and found several unexpected audio jewels
thereon, one of which is this performance of "I Want to Live" by John Denver. This is
a classic and timeless Pro-Life message if there ever was one. You can hear all the children
in the womb piling onto his vocal chords and crying out through his voice. Sometimes, well,
actually most of the time, John Denver even brings out the best in himself.
While there are several renditions of "I Want to
Live" posted on YouTube, this rendition from Montana Christmas Skies is one of the most
special, perhaps the most special, which John Denver gave to us, as it is performed in the
context of Christmas, where we have our attention on the Birth of the Christ Child, and
without trampling too heavily upon some peoples contrary theology, he is highlighting an
important truth, that just as the Baby Jesus cried out in the womb "I Want to Live" so too do
all children cry out, as they all have the same destiny before them, as they all have the same
potential within them. John Denver is clearly tapping into a Deep Inner Sense of Reality in
this regard, as his voice rings with such a genuine and powerful expression of the intrinsic
value of every child, no matter what the race, no matter what the culture.
I am three-for-three this morning in
the good selections which the YouTube processing software selected as the
introductory still. Thank you very much. After playing the video, the page
needs to be refreshed to bring the introductory still image back. If you want
to see the high quality audio and video, the
John Denver Montana Christmas Skies DVD is available
on Amazon.com.
May you pass every test.

"A Change in the Air" by Clint Black
Over the Last Christmas Season (2008) I was
inspired to do a search for Christmas songs performed by John Denver. I purchased, among
other things, his Montana Christmas Skies DVD, and found several unexpected audio jewels
thereon, one of which is this performance of "A Change in the Air" by Clint Black.
This tune forms a strong nexus with John Denver's
affinity with the great outdoors. Nature looms large as the primary actor, the soul as always
is the receiver of its unfathomable impressions played upon the heart strings of the inner,
and natural identity of the Child of God. I compared this performance in the company
of John Denver and his Montana Christmas get together, to the performance
released on [Black's] "One Emotion" album, and I find this one to be many degrees
superior. Again, I think John Denver brings out the best in everyone who performs
with him.
I am two-for-two this morning in

"Feelings of Love" by Patty Loveless
Over the Last Christmas Season (2008) I was
inspired to do a search for Christmas songs performed by John Denver. I purchased, among
other things, his Montana Christmas Skies DVD, and found several unexpected audio jewels
thereon, one of which is this performance of "Feelings of Love" by Patty Loveless.
You might remember that she was the country
performer who did a beautiful rendition of "Away in the Manger" for the Knights of Columbus
advertisement for the Christmas Season 2006.
I
posted that video to the Daily Blogger. That is always worth listening to anytime that your memory is jogged
in that direction.
This performance of "Feelings of Love"
that we find on the Montana Christmas Skies DVD is really powerful. Love has many
shades, and I think she is bringing to life, in this performance, that shade and vibration
of Love that is most directly associated with the most intense region of love that is
associated with the husband and wife relationship, and by extension, that of twin
flames. It is the level of love that God our Father and Mother give to us which
holds our primary relationships together. And therein, it can serve as a platform,
even of gratitude, to reach higher, even to the source. And in the words, when you
listen closely, surely they can be taken as the words of the soul speaking directly
to God our Father and Mother, "You gave it to me freely, and I now leave it with
you, I leave You my feelings of Love."
Patty
Loveless did not write this song, but she performs it as if it were her own. I compared
this performance in the company of John Denver and his Montana Christmas get together,
to the performance released on her "On Down the Line" album, and I find this one to be
many degrees superior. I think John Denver brings out the best in everyone who
performs with him.
As many of you might know, it is not possible,
as far as I know, to determine what video image YouTube will select as the still image
that shows up in the video player, i.e. what you see before you hit play. (The YouTube
video posted below demonstrates that.) I was certainly pleasantly surprised to see the
image of Patty Loveless herself, riding the horse, as the image that was selected. (I
hope it stays that way). How serendipitous is that? Especially when you consider
that the keynote theme of Montana Christmas Skies is John Denver's "Christmas
for Cowboys," one of the best songs that he ever wrote. After playing the video, the page
needs to be refreshed to bring the introductory still image back. If you want to see the high
quality audio and video, the John Denver Montana Christmas Skies DVD is available
on Amazon.com.
Additional Note: Patty Loveless was born
Patty Lee Ramey on January 4, 1957, Pikeville, KY. She married country music
drummer Terry Lovelace in 1976. The marriage ended in divorce in 1985. She
retained her married name, with a slight spelling change, Lovelace to Loveless.
Poignant I think. This performance with John Denver in Montana Christmas
Skies, was recorded in 1996. She was then 39 years old. By that time, she had
already produced nine (9) country music albums.
May you pass every test.

This Speech is Absolutely Superb
This speech given by a 12 year old girl,
on the subject of abortion is excellent. This has to be an angel sent to earth to
speak the truth with great conviction, power, and clarity. Her delivery style
is beyond compare. Are we seeing a future President of the United States in
this video?
The Light released by this child was so intense,
it stirred up a maelstrom of hatred by the sinister force, which compelled them to turn
off the comment feature where this video is posted on YouTube.
Thank you to the Journal reader
who brought this to my attention. This is like a shining lantern in this world
of darkness, whose light, thanks to this technology, can never be put out.
May you pass every test.

How Can the Night Resist the Sunrise?
How can the night resist the sunrise?
It is impossible. The little flower, perhaps all cozy in its folded up condition,
long content in this effort to keep out the cold of the night, even the cold
brilliance of the distant stars, will FEEL the warmth of the sun rays, and
experience the Reality of Life awakening within its very petals, and lo those
petals will unfold, and gladly, to embrace the Light of the New Day, and
all the Promises of Victory which it holds.
May you pass every test.

Fifth UPDATE - "The Only
Intelligence, Presence, and Power
Governing the Universe."
In the previous blogger entry,
January 29th, I have again revised the
"Divine Fixation" statement (the large block of blue text). I have saved and
provided links to each of the six drafts so anyone interested can follow how
they have expanded. This revision has a couple of minor corrections, and a
restatement of the "prelude" principle near the top, changing that conceptually
to a reference point. As before, the text of the blogger entry itself has not changed.
May you pass every test.

The Temple of the "Presence"
A note from a reader has brought forward
the subject of the Temple of the Presence, something which I have not thought
about for some time.
"I thank God for this most invaluable insight about the temple of the Presence. I have
been a chela of many years, but living outside of the USA. This is the most important
bit of information for us out here who are chelas of beloved Mother.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
The comment refers to the article in the
Homeward Bound Journal from July 2002 in which
I expanded on the implications of the Shearer's rejection of the 20.07 Judgment call,
which exposes the entire movement to be a false hierarchy sponsored organization.
Looking back over several additional
years of experience using the 20.07 judgment call, I cannot tell you how many times
I have been literally suffocated by a tremendous weight of darkness, barely able to
crawl into the sanctuary, my whole body crying out for a rock to crawl under. But,
by God's Grace, my feet did carry me into the sanctuary, and I raised my right hand,
and I gave that judgment call, and lo, the darkness was swept aside, and a new
landscape of light and freedom replaced it. Indeed, on many occasions, what was just a
moment before, a mental and emotional landscape like unto Tolkien's Mordor, was
cleared, and replaced with a mental and emotional landscape of paradise (the Light of
The Presence of God, I AM). This 20.07 Judgment Call is one of the most valuable
tools the REAL Ascended Masters have given us to reverse all efforts by the
False Hierarchy to pour mounds of astral garbage on the lightbearers to stop
their forward movement. They cannot stop our forward movement if the
student will only use this 20.07 judgment call.
And so, I must reiterate, with absolute
conviction, and I am grateful for the opportunity to speak up again on this issue,
that this one stand taken by Monroe and Carolyn Shearer, proves beyond any
shadow of a doubt that it is the dark agenda of the False Hierarchy that moves
through them, disarming the lightbearers, luring them in, to steal their light,
and to use them, at the very same time, as a battering ram of doubt to attack
the integrity of the Divine Mother's Abode (TSL).
Technical Note: The use of the 20.07 Judgment call becomes
more and more important as the student progresses on the path. First,
as the student increases in Light, the Masters move aside to allow them
to stand more on their own, to give them the opportunity to draw down
more Light, in the face of the greater opposition. New students
should learn to use this call daily, and from the very beginning in
preparation for that day. Secondly, as the student anchors more
Light in their chakras, they become more of a threat to the False
Hierarchy, and therefore, the False Hierarchy makes it a higher
priority to derail them. And thus, they become targets of greater
levels of opposition. But then, on the other hand, once the student
proves that they will stand fast in the face of any amount of opposition
always going to the altar and calling forth the judgment of these
forces of darkness sent to derail them, to crumble their spine in
despair, the False Hierarchy, which is not stupid, will actually
back off, because they will lose too many of their astral
minions in such frontal attacks. They will look for more subtle
ways to derail the advancing student, than to pour such opposition
upon him or her, that forces the student to use the judgment call.
Yes, they adjust their tactics, to help make sure the student will
keep this gun in the holster. Therefore, daily use of this call,
whether you feel the opposition or not, is the best way to nip
opposition in the bud before it can even hit you.
May you pass every test.

Expanding Upon the Name of God I AM
I would like to expand upon my blogger
entry of December 29, 2008, somewhat, in which I introduced a graphical focus to
help us direct our attention to The Name of God I AM,
especially as a preface to Jesus Christ's "I AM Lord's Prayer." Here is the
focus again.
Prior to giving the I AM Lord's Prayer,
the idea is to look at this, and read it, especially the scriptural passages from Exodus, as
this effort invokes the original revelation given to the Prophet Moses who stands
ready, as the Ascended Master Moses, to assist in the amplification of our effort
to see the truth.
After doing this, we can engage in an additional
exercise of the third eye chakra, by speaking the following additional affirmations while
our attention is inside of the I AM circle, expanding upon the idea stated, that the "I AM"
is the Creator of all that there is.
1. God our Father and Mother (I AM) continuously extend the Power of Their Love
to light every star in the visible universe. We see this for every star in the universe of
which there are billions.
2. God our Father and Mother (I AM) continuously extend the Power of Their Love
to anchor a Light in the heart of every one of their children on earth, and as one of
the primary actions of this Light of the Heart, is to make each heart to beat. We see
this for every person on earth, of which there are billions.
3. God our Father and Mother (I AM) continuously extend the Power of Their Love
to anchor a Light in the heart of every atom of which our bodies are composed. We
see this for every atom that composes our bodies, of which there are so many, there
does not exist a word in the English language that can properly quantity them. And
we see this for every person on earth.
For group prayer activity, this graphic can
be blown up large, perhaps as part of a power-point demonstration displayed on a
large screen, and the additional exercise can be augmented by the use of appropriate
photographs of the cosmos, as we have them through the Hubble Space Telescope,
and of large crowds of people, each one with a beating heart, and a graphical
representation, somewhat more challenging, of the veritable galaxies of atoms
that comprise the body of man.
After we go through this exercise, we
have a more tangible conception of what the word "I AM" actually means when
it is repeated in the midst of the I AM Lord's Prayer.
Now, of course it is true
that it is very interesting that God our Father and Mother (I AM THAT I AM)
chose a name to be known by, which their children can use as a matter of course,
when referring to themselves! As we can all say, I AM. Indeed, very interesting.
And that name does represent the doorway through which our consciousness
can travel on that great journey into a greater realization of the truth of the real
Divine Stature with which we were originally endowed when our Father and
Mother gave birth to our souls in the beginning.
We can take one more fruitful step
along this path of deeper realization, if we choose as the next prayer we give
in our daily devotions, that of the Keepers Daily Prayer by the Ascended
Lady Master Nada, and make a conscious effort to tie the opening statements
of this prayer into the foregoing exercise, so that a bridge of understanding
can be built between them. Take the first part of the prayer for example.
The Keeper's Daily Prayer
by Lady Master Nada
A Flame is Active
A Flame is Vital
A Flame is Eternal.
I AM a God Flame of radiant Love
From the very Heart of God
In the Great Central Sun,
Descending from the Master of Life!
I AM charged now
With beloved Helios and Vesta's
Supreme God Consciousness
And Solar Awareness.
(clip) ...
Pointing to the I AM graphic, and
to the additional graphic which illustrates how God our Father and Mother
are extending their Light into the heart of every one of their children, we can
observe, and the prayer leader can do this verbally, that the light that God
anchors in each of our hearts is a flame, out of which proceeds the creative
intelligence that causes our hearts to beat. This is the flame that is active,
this is the flame that is vital, this is the flame that is eternal. This is the
flame of radiant Love referenced, which proceeds from the One Heart of
God, a little piece of their love divided up and extended out to every
child, each flame having the built-in potential of expanding without limit.
And this is what the reference to Helios and Vesta is meant to denote, that
the brightness of the sun which they ensoul, and the mighty purposes it
serves, extends out of an individual heart flame expanded to the necessary
size and brilliance to provide a light that will support life in an entire solar
system.
As noted before, I think I made
reference to this in the last blogger entry, that the Supreme God Consciousness
referenced here, is that consciousness of the actual love that God our Father
and Mother has for each of their Children. How does that flame expand
in the case of Helios and Vesta to become a central light for an entire
solar system? How does that flame expand in the case of Jesus Christ
to provide the functionality of the Office of Savior for an entire planet?
It is through this single doorway, of comprehending, and let's look through
the eyes of Helios and Vesta here, just how much God my Father and my
Mother love ME. In other words, Helios is looking into the very face of
God, and comprehending just how much God our Father and Mother love
Him personally. And the same is true for Jesus Christ, as he looks into
the face of God our Father and Mother, he fully comprehends just how
much they Love him personally. And because this is the Supreme Truth
for each of them, and every Citizen of Heaven, it is to this realization that
they would lead each soul on earth who has fallen into a state of forgetfulness
of this important fact. And it is an important fact, one cannot underestimate
its importance, because in the midst of the Truth of Their Love, is all the
Divine Functionality associated with the Divine Person we are supposed
to be.
I suppose it is true, that these
things cannot be thought about too much.
May you pass every test.

Fourth UPDATE - "The Only
Intelligence, Presence, and Power
Governing the Universe."
In the previous blogger entry,
January 29th,
I have again revised the "Divine Fixation" statement. I have saved and provided links
to each of the five drafts so anyone interested can follow how they have expanded. I have
added an additional affirmation up front to help us focus our attention on what is
the basic geometry of the individual Christ Consciousness within each one of us,
which is the recognition of the child son, or the child daughter, of the great love
of God our Father and Mother for the child they hold in their arms. Of course it
is true that the soul, trapped in the human matrix of alienation, cannot feel Their
Arms enfolding the soul, nor see the sunshine of their smiling face. However,
the truth is the truth, Their Love for Every Child is Real, each time the heart
beats, it is a statement of that Truth, and the soul, to find its freedom from the
chains of alienation must at some point start to affirm what is True. Only by
that process of affirmation, will the Truth come into its sensory range once
again. Make no mistake about it. Everything that the Master Jesus Christ
became, flowed from his own realization and assimilation of that great
truth, of the Father's and Mother's Love of the Son. And when Jesus
said that he has the power to make us Son's of God, he is not talking
about making up something from scratch. He is speaking of the power
of Illumination given into his hands by the Father and Mother to illuminate
this already existing truth for every child that God has created.
Yes, it is getting longer, but it fits
nicely on one letter-sized page when you print it out at a normal type size
(12pt). The great majority of the text is devoted to giving the soul the
opportunity to stop, and realize more deeply the profound implications
associated with the Beautiful Energy Systems which God our Father and
Mother send into our temples during our devotions. And of course the
Master St. Germain is standing ready to expand our understanding in
that regard, according to the request stated at the end of the statement.
Sincere students receive these beautiful emanations very early on the path,
and the sooner they train their mind to focus their attention on them, for
the purpose of receiving greater insights in regards to their importance
and meaning, the faster the chains of alienation will be dissolved, and
the sooner the soul can return to a normal and healthy relationship with
the Father and Mother who love the soul so much.
May you pass every test.
