     You have a certain conception of what Life is like when the balloon is unfilled and just laying there on the ground. And you have a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT conception of what life is like, when the balloon is filled, and you are soaring, the strength of your buoyancy carrying a basket full of people below you.

     And it is also true, that you have a better appreciation for the Path of Initiation, when you understand that most of the activities in life, in the ground state, have to do with patching the holes in the balloon fabric, in preparation for its first flight.

     I think most people are capable of understanding this fine point, regarding the potential catastrophic nature of any hole left un-repaired.

     In regards to the area wherein the balloon is spread out for these essential repairs, where the perimeter of the workspace is breached, and you have armies of demons trampling it into the ground, digging in their iron-spiked heels, with the hope that it will never rise again, in our contemplation of this painful scene, we have lit at least one candle of compassion for the dilemma in which Sean C. Prophet finds himself.

     The fabric of the balloon is woven from the sturdy thread of Divine Purpose. Understanding this, it is much easier to find and repair the holes.

     May you pass every test.

     Recently, I had the opportunity to complete one of my South Pond Excursions in the early morning, around sunrise. And after walking out, I took a drive through the National Park area , and out in the middle of this field, standing all by themselves, were these two blossoming yucca plants, catching the morning sunlight, shining from the east, as it always does here, and I said to myself, here we have an example of how nature plays a supporting role in accentuating the importance of the reunion of twin flames. Having my camera with me, I thought that perhaps I should take a photo of that, thinking that there might be at least one person who might be interested in seeing this. And so, here we have a wide angle, and a close up.

     May you pass every test.

     We begin our search for truth, from within the dark tomb of illusion, wherein, it appears that all important information comes to you through your outer eyes, ears, and sense of touch. This is actually an upside down sense of reality. This needs to be turned around, to where the soul understands that all important information comes from within. The subject of intuition is the beginning of wisdom in this regard, but only the beginning.

     For the inner state of darkness is a prison, and the light that shines through the crack from under the cell door, while it shows you where the door is, will not by itself open the door. For the door must be opened from within. And the golden key, it must appear within the very hand of the one long locked away.

     But of course, the Path of Initiation, and the Teachings of the Ascended Masters which define it, they are designed to lead the soul to the fount of inner knowledge. And most importantly, in terms of the most practical considerations, it must be clearly understood, that as the soul walks this path of internal discovery, the soul must learn how to get past the false fount of inner knowledge, which I will characterize as the smoldering smudge pots of doubt, the heat and fumes of which twist and distort the thinking and feeling into patterns that always represent error, which always lead the feet of the soul astray. This internal land of error, the soul must pass through. And it must pass through in a straight line.

     Now, the inner fount of knowledge, once discovered, vanquishes doubt, and re-establishes order. And so, little by little, the soul learns to respect and cherish the power center of the heart. The POWER CENTER of the heart. The POWER CENTER of the heart.

     I am being repetitive here, because, when we speak about power, we are speaking about a reality that is beyond abstraction. We are speaking about a Reality, which manifests as Wave of Power, that the soul can Feel, and Experience, which tangibly reorders the quality of the inner life for the better right before its very eyes.

     This center of power comes alive, and begins to express its all- powerful influence within the inner temple, as the soul makes progress in the great task, and the great challenge, of aligning ITS MIND, in bringing ITS MIND, into harmony with Divine Purpose. And this Divine Purpose is defined at several levels simultaneously, beginning with the macroscopic, universal, galactic, solar, and planetary, and then at the level of all relationships, and then at the level of the personal identity. All of this must be in harmony with Divine Purpose.

     How successful has the soul been in the process of transmuting, which is to say, removing, all points of inharmony within the many layers of the soul's psychology? And thus, how deeply anchored is the quality of harmony, at all of these levels, within the mind and the feeling world of the individual?

     According to the depth of this anchoring, will the power of the divine heart center become CLEARLY evident. Indeed, the soul will understand what the Masters are talking about, when they speak of the Sacred Heart. Even the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ, or the Sacred Heart of Mary, or the Diamond Heart of Morya. That Sacred Heart is supposed to come alive within us. It is this Divine Power Center that brings the Power of God, the Power of the One Infinite God, directly into manifestation within the temple of the soul.

     Yes, the soul, in the exercise of its free will, must train the mind to be the servant of Divine Purpose at all of these levels. And it is here, within this resonant chamber which the temple has become, wherein the walls of this resonant chamber have become very thick, solid, and immutable, with the many layers of molecular harmony, even as a solid crystal, sparkling, where the POWER of the Divine Heart, blossoms forth in all of its awesome glory.

     And one arrives at the experience of this internal power of the Divine Heart, which is considered by all of the Ascended Masters as the birthright of every soul, by the passing of tests, which is the process by which the soul moves incrementally into ever greater degrees of harmony with Divine Purpose.

     Now, in this regard, every test placed before the soul, presents a two-fold choice. First, when confronted with the presence of a point of non-harmony within the soul psychology, the soul must choose to surrender it. That is the choice presented. Will I surrender this, or will I continue to hang onto it? Second, if the soul chooses, correctly, to surrender a point of non- harmony, it must then choose to fill the void with a state of actual harmony. That is the choice presented. Will I henceforth direct my attention, and devote my life to establishing a state of harmony in that place, where harmony did not heretofore exist?

     When the weed is pulled, and that section of ground cleared, a seed of Divine Purpose must be planted in its place, and that seed must be watered and tended, from that point on, until the whole garden has been stripped of all weeds, and planted with an overflowing variety of beautiful flowers.

     Remember always, that the first definition of harmony is the state of being in perfect step with Divine Purpose. These two points always go hand in hand. Power and Divine Purpose. The soul fell, when it departed from a state of absolute respect and appreciation for Divine Purpose. And entering into that state of disrespect and non-appreciation, the Power of God, which heretofore flowed freely through the crystal matrix of the soul, began to be misused, and the misuse of power caused destruction to be inflicted upon the delicate fabric of divine reality. And this tendency towards the expression of destruction caused God our Father and Mother to reduce the amount of power to which the soul had access. And thus, over vast stretches of time, the power center of the heart faded out of the consciousness of the soul.

     In as much then, as the path that led away from the Power Center of the Heart, was characterized by this quality of disrespect for Divine Purpose, which led the soul into pathways of misqualification and destructive expression, the pathway back into the full realization of the Power Center of the Heart, is characterized by the re-acceptance of the principles of Divine Purpose, and the right use of power.

     And within this precisely defined framework is each test presented. Those portions of our psychology which are out of step with Divine Purpose, as they are exposed, they must be surrendered, and a state of harmony with Divine Purpose must be adopted right then, at that point, to fill that void, and that point of renewed harmony must be defended and defended and defended.

     And I underscore the need for the ongoing defense of that new point of harmony, as the wave action of the astral plane, and more dynamically acting forces of darkness, will try to wash back in and overrun that point of renewed harmony. And this is most especially true in relationship to those points of Divine Purpose related to the Divine Plan and the Divine Mission of the Soul, as the framework of harmony cannot be anchored in the earth until the soul has received, accepted, and integrated this inner knowledge into its outer life. And so, a sand castle will not stand up to this wave action. Anything built on sand will not stand up to that wave action. Each time the new point of harmony is washed away by the forces of doubt, fear, and so forth, the soul will find that the power to rebuild is found only in the intercession of God within the context of our devotions before the Altar of the Holy Grail in our sanctuaries.

     May you pass every test.

     There is no freedom from doubt outside the Power of God.

     To find freedom from doubt, one must come into the Power of God.

     How does one come into the Power of God?

     One comes into the Power of God through the process of integrating oneself with the Purposes of God.

     The Power of God is given only unto those who have learned to use power in the furtherance of God's Purpose. In other words, the Power of God is given unto those who have learned how to stop making the negative karma associated with the misuse of power.

     What is the misuse of power? All power employed in the furtherance of activities outside the Purposes of God is defined by the law as a misuse of power.

     To make positive karma, which accrues to the soul the gift of increased power and opportunity to use it correctly, an activity must serve the Purposes of God.

     To make negative karma, which accrues to the soul the judgement of decreased power, and the narrowing of opportunity, that is giving the soul less opportunity to be in situations where it can misuse power, an activity must be outside the Purposes of God.

     In the process of determining whether a particular activity advances the purposes of God, or detracts from the purposes of God, how does the law define the term "activity"?

     Each thought is an evaluated activity under the law. Each feeling is an evaluated activity under the law. Each word spoken is an evaluated activity under the law. Every movement of the body, whether it be the legs, the hands, the arms, the feet, each action is an evaluated activity under the law. All aspects of body language, when it comes to expressing the content of the feeling world, is an evaluated activity under the law.

     These evaluations are being made by God our Father and Mother constantly and instantaneously. The evaluations are being constantly written either to the Causal Body as positive records that carry with them a reward certificate of positive karma, or they are being written to the Electronic Belt, the storage medium for records of rebellion, each one carrying with it a writ of judgment, concerning the delivery of a certain amount of negative karma, not necessarily designed as punishment, but more as a carefully designed restriction required to contain a negative momentum along with an educational program that will assist the soul in coming to terms with it.

     How does one increase the likelihood that these evaluations would accrue to the earnest soul the aforementioned gift certificates, rather than the writs of restriction and re-education? One does this by making the conscious choice to integrate oneself with the Purposes of God.

     How does one integrate oneself with the purposes of God? This is done by making sure, by free will choice, that every thought, feeling, word, and action serves the Purposes of God.

     How does one know whether a given activity serves the Purposes of God, or is outside the Purposes of God? One must learn. One must enter into an appropriate education program. The Teachings of the (Real) Ascended Masters provides such an educational program

     Now, within the context of this educational program, Life circumstances are constantly bringing to our attention those things within us that operate outside the purposes of God, providing us therewith, an opportunity for us to choose to cast those self-destructive patterns into the All-Consuming Flame, never to have life in our temple again.

     This is what each test on the Path of Initiation is all about. Every test presents the soul with the opportunity to take a step in the direction of empowerment, indeed, that very empowerment which would set us free from doubt forevermore. Every test passed, leads us in the direction of that empowerment. Every test failed leads us away from that day of empowerment.

     Because the Path of Initiation is the path of empowerment, every failed test invokes the instantaneous judgment, that the soul cannot move forward, beyond that point, into an increased level of empowerment, until that test is passed.

     We can understand why this judgment is leveled instantly and without any ambiguity, when we analyze the situation within this framework of empowerment.

     God our Father and Mother say to their Children as they present each test, "Before we can give you more power, even that power that will set you free from doubt forevermore, you must understand that this particular mode of thought, or feeling or action, or speech violates our purpose in some way, and you must give it up. We cannot give you more of Our Power until you agree in this small incremental way, to stop misusing it. In all truth, we want to set you free. In all truth, we would love to set you free. But freedom comes only by Our Power, and we cannot give you that Power, until you agree to stop misusing it."

     When the Masters say, you must pass every test, this is the reason. A failed test stops all forward movement on the path to the empowerment that would bring freedom to the soul. When a soul fails a test, wherein it decides to cling to some aspect of its psychology that is intent on misusing power, that soul is required by the law to go back and pass that test. The law requires, that the soul must relinquish that aspect of its psychology that is intent on misusing power, before it can move on. When the soul confronts a situation wherein it is required to make this decision on a particular point in this respect, know that this is the point which is up for transmutation, and it cannot be sidestepped, and that the question of whether the soul moves forwards, or falls backwards hinges on this decision in the current moment. Until it passes that particular test, it will be blocked from any further advancement on the path.

     And because the Masters have taught us, that there is no standing still on the path, that either you are moving forward, or you are falling backwards, a failed test that is not quickly recognized becomes the seed of a snowball that will roll back down the mountain.

     Souls who have rolled down the mountain, in most cases will be allowed to live out their mortal lives, and die the death they so much looked forward to. But, they must come back, and they must face these tests all over again. Some souls get stuck on a point, where they have failed the same test a hundred lifetimes in a row. The momentum of failure mounts up, and becomes a rolling momentum, a juggernaut unto self-destruction. Truly a dilemma profound do the Heavenly Host face, in those souls who have wrapped themselves in the scintillating sarcophagus of doubt which fights off every ray of light that would point the way to freedom.

     Consider this my introduction to the statement I will give shortly regarding Mrs. Viper's response to the challenges I set before her below.

     May you pass every test.

     Faith Fonts - Vol. 15 - Continuing the Exploration of the relationship between LOVE and FAITH. The word FAITH presented in each of the next set of 55 fonts from my computer, from Prestige12 BT (Bold) through Scruff LET Plain:1.0, set to the song "Feelings of Love" as performed by Patty Loveless from John Denver's Montana Christmas Skies DVD. Your heart truly wants to sing along with her. Learning to smile from the inside out. Offered as an exercise apparatus for the Divine Heart which God our Father has placed at the center of each one of His Children. An audio and visual treadmill if you will. Ten and a half minutes in length. "Feelings of Love" repeated three times. With a bonus surprise at the end.

     May you pass every test.
