Certain statements the Ascended Masters have made, in my view, do not leave us with any other option, but to conclude that President George W. Bush, in many respects, is a chalice for the light of the Darjeeling Council, and the Great White Brotherhood. Those statements exist, they reside in published dictations, and I will present them in due course.

     But first, I feel compelled to report, that, even after having set forth several examples of actual veins of gold running through the character of George W. Bush, there are still those in our community who stubbornly cling to their sense that he is an evil man. It brings to mind the statement by Jesus, recorded in scripture, where he said, "But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause." (John 15:25)

     In a certain respect, I find this amazing, but I should also point out that this stubbornness is not really surprising. As noted in my previous article concerning the character of George W. Bush, (In Search of the True Character of George W. Bush), when there is evidence of a major misqualification on one line of the Cosmic Clock, there will be corresponding misqualifications in evidence on all associated lines. When the quality of intense dislike (hatred) (in this case directed at GWB) has lodged itself within the fabric of consciousness, being a misqualification of the 1 o'clock line of God-Love on the Cosmic Clock, then you will find corresponding misqualifications on each of the related lines, in this case, we are talking about the Ruby Cross consisting of the lines of God-Love on the 1 o'clock line, God-Obedience on the 4 o'clock line, God-Gratitude on the 7 o'clock line, and God-Vision on the 10 o'clock line. One of the characteristics of misqualified energy on the 4 o'clock line of God-Obedience is stubbornness. So, we should not expect people, at least in the general public, to give up their hatred so easily. But, when it comes to the members of this community, they really need to deal with this head-on, as it represents a huge obstacle to making real progress on the Path of Initiation. And because they have access to the Violet Flame, it shouldn't take that long to deal with it, once they realize exactly what it is that needs to go into the flame.

     And of course, while this is not the central purpose of this article, I cannot in good conscience bypass this opportunity to give you a concrete example of what is meant by "real progress", in as much as I would naturally hold out the hope that those who are clinging to their intense dislike, might be able to find a path forward on the wings of a greater longing for God's love, and thereby, find a way, in good conscience, to leave their momentum of intense dislike behind.

     So, what represents "real progress" on the Path of Initiation? In as much as the goal of the Path of Initiation is to bring the soul back into personal communion with God, progress can only be defined within that context. So what I am saying here, is that the continued indulgence of the energies of intense dislike, block the progress the soul can make towards the reestablishment of that condition of personal communion with God. In this regard, the ruby cross on the Cosmic Clock really represents the 4 points of personal communion, Love, Obedience, Gratitude, and Vision. And by studying the ramifications of indulging a misqualification on the 1 o'clock line of God-Love, you will be able to see exactly where that obstacle will manifest itself on the other three lines.

     As I have noted in other articles, the first milestone on the Path of Initiation that the student reaches, is composed of a revelation from the sponsoring Master, to the soul directly, of how much God deserves our utmost respect, esteem, honor, appreciation. This is a direct vision of the Reality of God that literally overpowers the soul with the most profoundly moving sense of God's beauty, glory, etc. This revelation is so profound and deeply moving, that it provides the all-important impetus for the soul to bring all of its disparate energies to that one point. Make note of the fact that this all-important revelation is vouchsafed to the soul under the authority of the Scorpio Hierarchy of God-Vision plotted on the 10 o'clock line, again, one of the 4 points of the Ruby Cross. By indulging a condition of intense dislike (hatred) on the 1 o'clock line, this will occlude the third eye chakra, making it impossible for the Master to deliver the revelation to the student under the Scorpio Hierarchy of God-Vision. No matter how much the Master desires to give this vision to the student, if the student indulges a condition of misqualified energy that occludes the third eye chakra, the vision cannot be given.

     Herein, I hope, is a reason that many can identify with, to make a serious effort to analyze the real nature of their intense dislike for GWB.

     Without the vision, the soul will never be able to take the next step, which is the mastery of the 7 o'clock line of God-Gratitude, which is the only portal into the region of God-Love. Make no mistake about it. There is no other portal. In other words, if you really want to come to that place where you are constantly aware of the reality of God's love for you — and let me assure you that that love is Real, and it is the most exalting power in the universe obviously — you have got to gain the mastery of the 7 o'clock line of God-Gratitude. I mean, there is a divine order to things. When the soul is rising from a fallen state, to an ascended state, that particular and precise mastery of the chakras that allows a soul to realize the reality of God's Love, does not come first. What comes first, is that particular and precise mastery of the chakras that allows the soul to stay within the flame of gratitude constantly. Then, and only then, does the soul have a foundation upon which it can attain to the additional mastery of the chakras required to stay within a constant awareness of God's Love.

     Now, in this respect, it is no coincidence that the soul chakra is plotted on the 7 o'clock line of God-Gratitude. The soul chakra is the chakra just below the heart. Purity in the soul chakra, which means pure and constant gratitude, is the only means by which communion with the cosmic energies of the heart can be sustained. And let me assure you, that a sense of Christ Identity centered in the fires of the heart, is no identity at all, unless it can be sustained, i.e. in an uninterrupted manner over time.

     Obviously, one can see the ongoing role that vision plays in instilling in the soul the fires of respect, esteem, honor, and appreciation unto God, which will eventually build up to the manifestation of actual gratitude. But before the soul ever gets to that point, i.e. the point of gratitude, it must first make progress bringing all of its thoughts to the one point that I noted above, in regards to how much God deserves our utmost respect, esteem, honor, and appreciation. In the initial stages of this effort towards the development of this one-pointed focus, it is the memory of the original vision, that will substitute for the actuality of vision, since the ability to see the Beauty of God constantly has not yet been developed. And in this respect, we find another reason to be fastidious in regards to eschewing all possible misqualifications of the 1 o'clock line of God-Love. This has to do with the fact that the 1 o'clock line of God-Love is plotted in the etheric quadrant, which corresponds to the memory body. That's where the memory of the revelation is stored. If one indulges a condition of misqualified energy on the 1 o'clock line, the capacity to remember a revelation given by the Master will be irrevocably blocked, and this is another reason why the Master will not extend this all-important vision to any student who still indulges the quality of intense dislike (however it might be rationalized). The Master knows that the student will not be able to remember the vision, and therefore will not be able to act on it, and therefore, it is a waste of time to give it.

     Now, there is nothing at all within human experience (i.e. material experience) that will provide the necessary impetus to the soul, to bring its thoughts to that one point. The reason for this is very important to understand. Note that the quality of God-Obedience, plotted on the 4 o'clock line, is contained within the mental quadrant. When one indulges a quality of intense dislike (hatred) on the 1 o'clock line, this will manifest as the very substance of disobedience on the 4 o'clock line in the mental quadrant. That substance of disobedience within the mental quadrant will effectively resist, oppose, and make impossible, any effort to bring the energies of the mind, to a one pointed contemplation of the Reality of God. In other words, here we have the actual substance that will effectively eliminate any possibility of the soul making progress towards the ultimate goal of personal communion with God.

     It is only the vision of God's Beauty, a vision that only the Master can bestow, that literally enfires the soul with the desire to stay within that vision, providing the animating power, which the soul can then use to conform all of its energies into a condition of harmony with that vision, and again, having in view the goal of bringing all of its thoughts to that one point. In this regard, the soul needs to do everything possible to rid itself of any momentums of intense dislike, to make way for the delivery of this all-important vision.

     Therefore, this is the bottom line. For those individuals in this community who insist on retaining their intense dislike for President George W. Bush, especially in the face of the evidence that tells us that he exhibits enough points of harmony with the Ascended Master program, which in turn allows us to conclude that the Ascended Masters are working with him, helping him to succeed on those points, for those individuals, they are actually choosing to delay their progress on the Path, choosing to delay their arrival at the milestone described above, which means sidestepping the process of returning to that point of personal communion with our Father/Mother God.

     And this just goes to prove, from another angel, I mean angle, what the Masters have been telling us all along. That all hatred (or intense dislike) represents, at its very root, hatred directed at God himself. It certainly isn't love that motivates a person to delay and perhaps entirely miss the opportunity of returning to that all-important point of personal communion with the God that loves them so much. We have been warned time and time again that we all carry that kind of hatred in our electronic belts, that we must be vigilant and diligent when it comes to identifying when it comes to the surface, so as to not indulge it, but to cast it into the violet flame. Or to root it out in a more direct and determined manner through the daily use of the 33.00 Ruby Ray Judgment Call.

     Now, the purpose of this particular exposition is to help those who are having a problem with their attachment to the energy of intense dislike, to identify it for what it is, and thereby, I hope, provide them with a clear reason to cast it into the flame, so that they can start making some real progress on the Path of Initiation.

     And I would warn everyone against being taken on a ride, at this point in time, by the reactionary nature of the dweller on the threshold, which will feel quite a bit of offense at this idea that the soul is not making "real progress" on the Path of Initiation. How many of you are feeling this question coming to the surface of your mind with considerable force? Who are you to tell me that I am not making "real progress" on the Path of Initiation?  Well, don't listen to that voice, but instead, come to terms with how many minutes in a given day you spend trying to bring your thoughts to that single point mentioned above. Many will have to honestly recognize that they spend zero minutes along these lines, and that only goes to show, that in many cases, perhaps not all, but in many cases, the reason that the aforementioned vision has not been given to the soul, the vision that would give them a reason to make that effort, is a continued habit of indulging a condition of intense dislike towards other parts of life, for whatever reasons they may have. This after all, for the reasons stated, is the most obvious reason for lack of real progress on the path. And we can thank God for giving us George W. Bush as an instrument for this particular initiation on the path.

     And in this regard, I would point out that the Ascended Masters are clearly on record presenting those principles which will remove all further doubt from your minds in regards to the out-of-alignment condition that that intense dislike directed at GWB represents. And I will present to you two really good examples. After you read these, you will have a choice. On the one hand, you can simply ignore what the Masters have had to say on this subject, but the consequences of that are rather clear I think. If you ignore their word, how can you expect them to deliver to you the initiations that will allow you to make progress on the path? I think that it is more reasonable to conclude that if you ignore them, they will ignore you. On the other hand, you can take their words as the jewels of truth that they are, incorporate them into your mind, thereby giving you several jewels of spiritual reality through which the Masters will be able to transmit to you those initiations that your soul longs for so deeply.

     If you conclude from what I have said here that the statements I am about to present must be pretty powerful and clear, you would be right.

     First, there is this statement by the Ascended Master St. Germain, delivered through the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet, on November 20, 1977, in Pasadena:

     Isn't that a great statement? I think so. When the Master says, "And therefore we will back any lifestream who will take even a single stand for a single platform of our cause," how could anyone in their right mind think that this would not include George W. Bush, who supports not a single platform of the Brotherhood, but several? Clearly, anyone can see from this statement, that any further poison darts thrown at George W. Bush by the members of this community, are throwing those poison darts at the Ascended Master St. Germain as well.

     And then there is this statement, again by the Ascended Master St. Germain, delivered through the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet, in the direct aftermath of the election of Ronald Reagan in November of 1980:

     From this we see that the Chief of the Darjeeling Council has set forth a timeless principle which assures us that on every point where President George W. Bush is working on behalf of one or more principles that the Brotherhood espouses, that the members of the Great White Brotherhood are actively pressing forth light on those points. If we take the Master at his word here, and if we take into account the many points on which President George W. Bush is working on behalf of principles espoused by the Brotherhood, many of which I have set forth in the preceding document (In Search of the True Character of George W. Bush), then what other option does a reasonable mind have, but to see George W. Bush as a beacon of light? And perhaps this is why so much condemnation is heaped upon him.

     This is another factor that Keepers of the Flame ought to consider when it comes to indulging the quality of intense dislike (hatred), as a misqualification of the 1 o'clock line of God-Love, and thereby allowing the pollution of all the hierarchies associated with the Ruby Cross. Pay attention here. This quality of intense dislike vibrates at an astral frequency. The associated misqualifications on each of the other lines of the Ruby Cross also vibrate at an astral frequency. This provides an entry point from the larger astral plane, and its grids and forcefields of darkness, into the four lower bodies of the Lightbearer. When the mind of the soul is focused upon these patterns of intense dislike, at that point, the soul makes of itself a transmission point for the condemnation of the false hierarchy. Thus, their condemnation of the Christ, their condemnation of the light that the Masters are pressing through GWB on those points of alignment with the purposes of God, flows through the consciousness of the Lightbearer. When the soul says to itself, "Gee, I really feel strongly that GWB is a dirtbag", the intensity of those feelings originate on the astral plane. They are no part of your divine identity.

     It is clear, that to continue to throw poison arrows at this man, is tantamount to working against the efforts of the Darjeeling Council Members who are actively encouraging, inspiring, and clearing the way for George W. Bush to make progress on the points they hold dear.

     Now, this is all true enough.

     But in closing out this article, I want to make a public confession. In regards to harboring intense dislike within the folds of consciousness, well, I can see that I am not immune to that myself. This is illustrated by the fact that after completing the foregoing paragraph, I penned the following:

     I can only conclude, that those members of this community, who continue to throw their poison darts at GWB, even after they have this knowledge, and they have sincerely contemplated the many points wherein GWB is congruent with the purposes espoused by the Darjeeling Council, that these people are not, within their hearts, true friends of the Ascended Masters, nor true friends of the light. They have chosen instead, to walk the left-hand path of darkness, arm in arm with the forces of hatred, to which they have become irreconcilably wedded.

     Here's an example of taking a single aspect of someone's human expression, and using that to completely and totally define the person's character. What audacity there is in the proposition, that simply because you insist, at least for the time being, on intensely disliking George W. Bush, that you are not "true friends of the Ascended Masters, nor true friends of the light." What an amazing statement. That represents a momentary lapse of utter blindness on my part, which has to be rooted in the energies of intense dislike, a perversion of the Aquarius Hierarchy of God-Love (1 o'clock line), in my own electronic belt. While all the previous observations related to the deleterious effects of indulging a condition of intense dislike remain valid, I must extend to those who are still intertwined in that problematic web of energy, the same courtesy that the Master requires all of us to extend to George W. Bush. I must admit of the possibility that in many ways, notwithstanding your out-of-alignment condition on this point, that you are faithfully serving the purposes of the Masters in many other ways, and because of that, they look upon you as their true friends and constructive compatriots.

     It's just that, in regards to your perceptions of GWB, those perceptions are not focused on the center of the target of truth, but rather, deflected, by the conditions we have been discussing, to one of the outer rings.

     Again, the center of the target is the freedom of the people of Iraq. In other words, in the bull's-eye, that round circle at the center of the target, you can make a little circular television screen, and you can see on that little screen the people of Iraq living under the banner of freedom, working out their own collective divine destiny, no longer under the iron boot, and the terror, and the fear imposed by Saddam Hussein. In this regard, please review all the statements made by the Ascended Master St. Germain, and the Goddess of Liberty, for starters, on the subject of freedom, and then see if you cannot find a point of resonance within your heart, with the proposition, that the desire for freedom that the Ascended Masters hold out so intensely and passionately for the people of America, extends in equal measure to the people of Iraq.
