And so, you would assume that the leadership of the Summit Lighthouse, and Church Universal and Triumphant, given the fact that they often place the word of love on their lips for this Holy Brother, would hold the principle of a free press as precious within their own hearts, as the Master holds it precious within his. But this is not the case. The current leadership of this church hates and fears freedom of speech. Their most recent pronouncement, framed in red, and adorned with the presence of Comrade Stalin, makes that clear enough.

     Make no mistake about it. This is a case of institutional life and death for me, and along with it, the existence of freedom of the press in this community. Who will be so bold as to deny the obvious? After I have been sentenced to institutional death, how can it be denied that every member of this community will live in fear of the same sentence being pronounced upon them if they speak up and challenge the leadership?

     The most precious thing I have in the world, in terms of organizational affiliations, is my membership in the Keepers of the Flame fraternity, and my longstanding association with this community, which is my institutional life, and now, it has been stripped away, utterly and completely, and for what reason? Because I have spoken the truth. I have demanded accountability. I will not let the leadership of this church sweep their infamous crimes under the rug.

     Yes, destroying the unity of the Russian congregation, and destroying the successful Ascended Master publishing operation associated with it, was an infamous crime when it was first perpetrated, and remains so today. Those who perpetrated this crime will be behind bars soon enough, but let's not add insult to injury by polishing their boots ere the cycles turn.

     And so, turning their own backs upon the great frothing wake of pain and injustice they have left behind them, what admonishments fall henceforth from their lips upon the ears of the innocent? They admonish forgetfulness, and they spread that forgetfulness like a dark and heavy mist through the minds of the membership.

     But I am the advocate for memory. I am the reminder. I say, remember.

     I say remember the desecration of the Altar of the Holy Grail on July 4, 2003, when a Beatles tune was performed thereon, in direct rebellion against everything the Masters have ever taught on the subject of rock music and the false hierarchy. The darkness that hatched that rebellion, and the darkness that sympathized with it, that darkness is still afoot within the leadership.

     I say remember the utter destruction of the unity of the Russian congregation on August 29, 2003. The darkness that hatched that rebellion, and the darkness that sympathized with it, that darkness is still afoot within the leadership.

     I say remember the destruction of a successful Ascended Master publishing operation in Russia on August 29, 2003. The darkness that hatched that wanton act of destruction, and the darkness that sympathized with it, worshiped it even, and the darkness that looked the other way, that darkness is still afoot within the leadership.

     I say remember their early September 2003 appointment of a former member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union to the interim presidency of the Moscow Study Group. The darkness that hatched that utter repudiation of the Master's teaching on Communism, and the darkness that sympathizes with that rebellion to this very day, that darkness is still afoot within the leadership.

     I say remember the petition, signed by more than 600 church members, asking that the principle of due process be applied to the Russian situation. And I say remember how the leadership utterly and completely ignored that petition. The darkness that would not respond to those sincere and genuine pleas for justice, yes, that darkness is still afoot within the leadership

     Paint it gold, paint it purple, paint it blue, but darkness is darkness, through and through.

     I advocate the challenging of all darkness, and I advocate remembering, clearly and distinctly, when those who express darkness do not recant, do not repent, do not apologize, do not surrender even a smidgen of their rebellion. I advocate remembering, because the darkness that is not surrendered, is a darkness that continues to corrupt the Teaching, and the Master's Mission.

     It's amazing. Whenever the fallen ones slither into leadership positions, and they are able take over, you have to fight the battle for a free press all over again. It's as if the American revolution was never fought. It's like this nation never won its independence. It's like the U.S. Constitution was never written. It's like the Bill of Rights never existed. The founding principles of America, are so much mist in the minds of these creatures who shake in their boots, every time someone speaks the truth in their presence. And the only thing they can think about is how to shut them up.

     What is their definition of true inner peace? Think about this. All tyrants have this in common. A silent and spineless membership is the only thing that allows them to drive away their inner trembling and anxiety, just as silent and spineless populations have always represented paradise for every totalitarian dictator that has ever walked the face of this earth.

     I will tell you the truth. If the Master St. Germain himself stood before them, and spoke the truth to their face, they would tape his mouth shut too.

     Opps, I see I have used the "F" word. Sorry. Well, lightbearers understand the importance of a free press. They understand how power corrupts. They understand why people must be able to speak freely, to expose corruptions within the management and leadership of organizations, communities, states, and nations. This is self-evident to every votive heart. The future is guarded by a free press. Yes, my fellow Americans, the future is guarded by a free press. Every rational mind agrees with this. And that is why the fallen ones hate the principle of a free press. They have no interest at all in guarding the future, only protecting their behinds in the present. And to that end, when the opportunity arises, they will squash the beautiful yellow butterfly of free speech, like a cockroach.

     Well, let every cockroach be squashed, and without a tear, this is cosmic justice. That's what I say. But let the beautiful yellow butterfly, the symbol of metamorphosis unto higher wisdom, fly free upon the holy breeze of liberty.

     Now, when fear is used to shut the mouths of the people, this is what guarantees the defeat of the light, the defeat of the truth. Look at how many people were shocked at the manipulation of the election process at the New York City Teaching Center (April 2004). But who dared speak a word about it in public? No one (Except Eva Baumann, God Bless her Courage). Look at how many people were shocked at the cancellation of Eva's pro-life vigil at the New York City Teaching Center (September 2004). But who dared speak a word about it in public? No one, this time, not even Eva. This is what ushers in the reign of darkness, both now, and in the future. It is fear, and the bitterness that eats the soul alive. And those in leadership who are comfortable with that, they are not lightbearers. They have stepped forth from the ranks of the fallen ones.

     When the corruptions of leadership cannot be spoken about in public, what do you have? You have a system of fear that keeps those corruptions in place.

     When it is impossible to hold leaders accountable for their corruptions, because of this blanket of suffocating fear which they lay over the souls of the peons under their feet, what do you have? You have a system of intimidation that allows corruptions to continue.

     Consequently, what you have is a process of disintegration unfolding in front of your very eyes. This disintegration occurs most significantly in the organization's potential for victory. Corruption within the leadership erodes this potential. Fear within the membership erodes this potential. And soon, because both spiral out of control, you will find that that potential is completely gone. Look at the Catholic Church. Where a brilliant lake of divine opportunity once stood, water skiers skimming over the surface on a sunny afternoon, look again, and you have dry lake bed, like unto California's Death Valley, which they have made into a monument nevertheless. No potential for victory left, but plenty of opportunity to kiss the boots of those who have barricaded themselves in their ivory towers untouchable beyond the heavy bars of fear and intimidation.

     History repeats itself.

     And therefore, in this particular situation, we would not be surprised to see no sign whatsoever of that love. We would not be surprised to see that the current leadership of this church trampled on the law, yes, they trampled on the law again, to get what they want. Isn't that interesting? When the rebel confronts the fence of the law, the fence of principle, if they want something that is on the other side, they will just trample down that fence. Trample it down flat. If the fence is too high for heavy boots to trample, they will rent a T-54 tank, and drive that tank right over that fence.

     What happened to the resolution process? That's what I want to know. Study the letter written by Church President Lois Drake. (We will do that below). Where in this letter does it mention that all of these dark and loathsome judgments were the product of a resolution process which they are bound by their oaths of office to uphold? You will not find that resolution process mentioned one time in that entire letter. Why? Because there was no resolution process implemented. None.

     I have taken the liberty to reproduce the official church document that describes the resolution process. This document was developed by the church leadership, and it is distributed by the church leadership to whoever will ask for it. A full copy of that document will be found HERE. The first part of the first paragraph, and the last part of the last paragraph, as in Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, are of particular interest to us, at least from the standpoint of virtue, especially the virtue of honor and the virtue of integrity:

First Paragraph - "Resolving alleged violations of conduct are tests of our organization's ability to embody and practice the teachings of the Ascended Masters as well as the principle of fairness, balance, judiciousness and adherence to truth. The process our organization adheres to is intended to insure fairness and to foster dignity, self-discipline and personal growth."

Last Paragraph - "When necessary and when infractions are serious and/or repeated, headquarters will receive notices of alleged behavioral misconduct and will apply and continue to apply the resolution process as outlined in this paper."

     This is contract language. Those who occupy offices of this church, especially at the level of the Board of Directors, and the Church Presidents, take oaths, and sign covenants before taking office. They pledge to adhere to the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws of the Church, and the various contracts of trust the leadership has entered into with the membership. This is one such contract of trust. Here they have given their word. There it is, spelled out. "and will apply and continue to apply the resolution process as outlined in this paper." They say they will do this. But they have not done this.

     Let us apply the very criteria they have set before the membership: "Resolving alleged violations of conduct are tests of our organization's ability to embody and practice the teachings of the Ascended Masters as well as the principle of fairness, balance, judiciousness and adherence to truth." There isn't any doubt about it. By refusing to implement the resolution process, they have failed the very test which is described here, in their own words.

     The following is the seven-step core of the resolution process. The paragraph that introduces this seven-step core again expresses the idea that this process will be adhered to. There are no maybe's about it.

     To be fair now, Vice President Jon Springer did try to invoke this resolution process on February 26, 2004. Read that letter here. He wrote to me complaining about my investigation of Olga Perminova's ties to the Communist Party of the former Soviet Union. If you will recall, Olga Perminova was appointed as interim president of the Moscow Study Group in the fall of 2003. It came to my attention that in appointing her, they had appointed a former member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. After making various incorrect and wildly distorted characterizations of my investigation, he indicated that his complaint to me, was also an official complaint to the Board of Directors, which would initiate the resolution process on this point, as follows:

"This letter will also serve as a formal complaint to the Board of Directors of Church Universal and Triumphant regarding your status as a Keeper of the Flame, and to initiate the resolution process regarding this action you have taken." - Jon Springer

     Of course, I totally reject all of his characterizations concerning my investigation, which he set forth in that letter. It is completely unrealistic on his part, or anyone's part, given the Master's teaching on Communism, to think that former members of the Communist Party can be appointed to leadership positions within this church without any possibility of review, without any possibility of fact finding by the membership. His letter was sent for one purpose, and that was to shut down a lawful investigation that was conducted in an open, honest and fair manner. The intent of this was to cover over a significant instance of wrong-doing on the part of the current leadership. I ignored this letter, and for good reason. A free press cannot bow and scrape before the altar of intimidation. Our work must continue at all costs.

     Notwithstanding the fact that his complaint was without merit, he did nevertheless show us how the resolution process is started. You see, it's written right there. It proves he can read, and when pressed, can obey. He made a complaint, signed it, and forwarded it to the Board for review.

      But, it never went any further than his complaint. The Board of Directors never notified me that they believed this complaint had any merit, which is step two in the process. If this particular complaint was to go anywhere under this resolution process they would need to notify me of the complaint, and give me an opportunity to be heard. But, it is clear enough, that they dropped it, because the last thing they wanted was to initiate a "fact finding" activity that would have been required by Step 4 of the process. You see, what the intent of the leadership was in this case, was to kill off a fact finding activity. The last thing they wanted to do was to institutionalize a fact finding activity. So this complaint died. Not another peep on this particular issue was heard.

     Given the nature of alchemical processes, I cannot comment on whether or not my investigation of Olga I. Perminova's Communist Party affiliations continued at that time, or even continues to this day.

     About one month later, Church President Lois Drake wrote me a threatening letter dated April 23, 2004, in regards to the Journal articles on the subject of Church Manager Rev. Linda Worobec's July 4th, 2003 performance of a Beatles' tune on the Altar of the Holy Grail in King Arthur's Court. You can read that letter here. This letter was made public and discussed in public on the Journal Front Page for April 2004. In this letter she tried to refute my position on the issue of the rebellion of Rev. Linda Worobec, and the complicity of the collective leadership in allowing that rebellion to not only stand unchallenged, but to stand forth with applause. Of course, Lois Drake had nothing new to say, only the same tired rationalizations that have kept her soul in chains for tens of thousands of years. I would point out here that the resolution process was not mentioned in this letter at all. So, she cannot point to this as the beginning of any resolution process.

     But she did include in this letter, an example of the misuse of administrative power that seems to come so natural to her. She communicates to me in this letter that she has used her executive authority to ban this Journal from all Church email inboxes.

"Because I am, with my partner and co-president, Kate Gordon, charged with managing the staff of this organization, and because I must act immediately to protect staff members from abuse and harassment, I am instructing that your emails be blocked from email Church accounts which are used by staff members, Elders, and the Board of Directors. Individual staff members, Council of Elders members, and Board members who desire to receive your emails can contact you directly. You may not participate in the On-Line Dialogue Forum. Effective immediately, staff members are not required to take phone calls from you." - Lois Drake

     Isn't it interesting now, that at the same time that she admits, at least in this paragraph, that she is CO-president, that both letters that she has sent to me, this one, and the current one, she makes no reference to her "CO" status below her signature, but choosing the title "President" instead. Yes, it is so much simpler that way. But this is truth about that. That in and of itself is a usurpation of power. She is not "President". She is a "Co-President". Where is Kate Gordon's signature on these documents? Has she been locked in a closet someplace? It was my impression that the reason to have two co-presidents, is that it would require the consent of both to exercise executive power in this manner. This was supposed to be a safety factor, that would tend to check the misuse of executive power. But that safety factor has apparently been abandoned.

     At any rate, the characterization of my communications as "abuse and harassment" is understandable, though patently self-serving, and false. This is what totalitarian dictators have felt about the truth from the beginning of time. Truth to them feels like a red hot cattle prod. They don't like to get poked by it. What can we do about that? It certainly isn't my fault.

     But this is the main point about this letter. She uses a patently disingenuous rationalization to exercise administrative power against a member of this church outside of the resolution process. And getting away with this, seeing that no one has challenged her, she goes the next step, and exercises the full scope of her administrative powers, again, in delivering this sentence of institutional death upon this publisher, outside the resolution process.

     When someone's behavior is at issue, we were told that every member deserves due process, and a process was devised, with sincere good will, so that complaints against an individual could be heard in a fair and just manner. Where is that resolution process here? It is nowhere. There was no resolution process. Again the many dark and inky black judgments rendered against this publisher in this case was not the product of the resolution process to which the leadership itself feigns loyalty.

     Clearly, when they send this resolution process out to the field, the words written inside of it, state clearly that they are bound to it themselves. Those statements communicate a loyalty to that resolution process. And so, when they do not implement that resolution process when they have the opportunity to do so, but instead, they rush around the perimeter of it, to imprint the ultimate logic of their hatred upon a particular situation, what other conclusion can we reach, that the loyalty to due process standards communicated in the resolution process document itself, is nothing more than a feigned loyalty? This is the most obvious and reasonable conclusion. It is borne out by empirical evidence no less, by their behavior which is now on the record for all future generations to contemplate.

     I am sure that the reader can see, without me having to point it out, that this is not the only thing they "feign" a loyalty to. They say they love the Masters, and are loyal to the Teaching. But the July 4, 2003 altar desecration situation was a good test to tell us whether this was true or not. Their actions and choices are on the record. When given an opportunity, seeing the Teaching totally trashed in front of their very eyes, they would not stand up for the Teaching. Neither would they bend over and pick up the pieces. They had no desire to glue the fragile porcelain figurine of truth, honor, and integrity back to together. They swept the fractured remnants under the rug and moved on. And so, they have their own priorities. They chose to pet and stroke Linda Worobec's dweller, and you can be sure, she returned the favor.

     Now, of what use is a resolution process that is applied at the whimsy of the leadership? O, we will apply it here, if we feel like it. Or maybe there if we feel like it. Or perhaps over there, if we feel like it. If we don't feel like it, we will just keep it in the drawer, the same drawer where we keep our conscience tucked away and folded neatly like a napkin that is never used. And when it comes to principles, we have our own. That's right, we have our own. We don't need fancy words written on pieces of paper by idealistic fools. We will use our own hatred as a substitute for the law. Golden rule, sinister tool, its all the same to us. What we hate, we will destroy. What we hate, we will cast out. What we hate, no law can stop us from stepping on it, until it is dead.

     I am not the first, nor will I be the last to have this totalitarian logic applied to the question of whether I will live or die, in an institutional sense.

     It is so amazing to me that we have to argue anew, within this supposedly enlightened organization, for the recognition of principles that were already born out of the very experience of western civilization itself.

      It's not like the principles of due process were just recently revealed to us by the Ascended Masters in the Teaching, and we have to persuade minds to adopt new and strange principles of mystical origin.

     No, these principles have been born out of the experience of centuries of human experience as our ancestors climbed step by step out of the grimy memory of the dark ages. They adopted these principles as safeguards to protect their cultures from falling back into those dark ages. And so, civilizations rose upon the foundation of this wisdom.

     But, as a noted before, when fallen angels get into control, its like we have to fight all of those battles all over again. Even though we are actually in the 21st Century, even though we live and depend upon institutions that recognize and adhere to these principles as a way of life, the minds of our current leadership are like unto voids of ignorance, right out of the dark ages, where the light of reason has apparently never penetrated. And this is the more perplexing, as we think we ought to expect that if you were to find illumined minds anywhere, it would be here, in an organization sponsored by the Ascended Masters. But, black holes exist amongst the stars. This much we have learned from the great astronomical telescopes.

     Now, this is the common sense of the matter. The more intensely the leadership despises a particular individual, the more important it is that a dispute resolution process be implemented fairly. This is common sense. And more importantly, it comports with the Teaching to a "T". We know that feelings of derision, contempt, and dislike, directed at a particular "nemesis", represents the pollution of the 1/7/4/10 axis of the Cosmic Clock. These qualities do not represent Light, but rather, pure Darkness. And therefore, this is the condition that produces blindness on the 10 o'clock line of God-Vision. And therefore, the product of the mind on the 4 o'clock line will be grotesquely out of step with divine law. The product of the mind will be an expression of disobedience unto the Laws of God by definition. This is predictable and knowable beforehand.

     It would be very good if the reader would take out his or her charts of the Cosmic Clock, and use them to grasp more fully the implications of what I am saying here.

     Principles of due process are intended to compensate for that 10 o'clock line blindness, and the 4 o'clock line stubbornness that supports it, like gristle and bone.

     And so, you can both see, and understand why it is, that due process procedures are written down. Under these conditions, where the rebellious substance of the 4/10 axis has control of the mind, the mind cannot be expected to produce patterns of justice. It is just impossible. It is not simply improbable. It is impossible. That is why you need the words written down. Those precious words can be read off the sheet of paper, and the principles can be followed, even if mechanically, and the procedure implemented fairly, and in this way, errors associated with contemptuous sentiment can be avoided.

     Clearly, contemptuous sentiment is involved whenever those who wield administrative power contemplate using the guillotine against someone under their control. By definition, they are fed up. Patience has run out. That is the time to take the due process procedures out of the drawer. Principles of due process say, go through the procedure, to make sure that the use of the guillotine in a particular situation is justified. This will save the leadership, and the organization from making horrendous mistakes, which if allowed to be fully expressed, will bring tremendous karmic backlash upon their own heads.

     You can see, that I do not make this case to save my own institutional head from being chopped off. Actually the deed is already done. I speak, even without my institutional body, to rally a sentiment of fairness within the membership at large, that might save future heads from rolling.

     And there is a good reason for every member of this organization to be listening carefully. Every person within the entire membership of this organization must bear the brunt of the karmic backlash when mistakes are made by the leadership, especially when due process procedures are available, and the membership does not demand that these due process procedures be used by the leadership. The idea that life moves on, and that these things disappear into the past, is false. Every member moves on with that increased burden, and they carry it, every day, until justice is done in a particular situation. And so, you can see why remembering is so important. The moment the will to stand for justice can be anchored within the soul, that is really a day of freedom, because from that point on, the burden of injustice is lifted. And so, I hope the reader can understand this, that as I refuse to forget, that as I stand for the principle of remembering, I am your friend, and not your foe.

      And I hope this is becoming more clear to everyone, that when a due process procedure is available, and it is not implemented, this means that the leadership is embodying the very contemptuous sentiments that the due process procedures were intended to address. When a due process procedure is available, and it is not implemented, this means that the leadership is embodying the very contemptuous sentiments that produce horrible errors in judgment. When a due process procedure is available, and it is not implemented, this means that the leadership is embodying the very contemptuous sentiment that produces that very karmic backlash that I spoke about above.

     And of course, the evidence of the rulership, or shall we say the preeminence, of this contemptuous sentiment, and its disdain for due process, has been in the ascendency ever since the destruction of the unity of the Russian Congregation, yes wherein due process was denied at first blush, and when the membership demanded due process, and it was denied again.

     (When I talk about the ascendency of contemptuous sentiment on the part of our leadership, I hope that the reader can understand that I am talking about an advanced condition of dweller fusion. This is where the contemptuous sentiment, directed at a particular individual, rules the mental body. In this mind, all thoughts mirror the logic of hate, and where the dweller stands in total denial of any need for due process. Here, the logic of hate is the law. And that describes a state of rebellion on the 4/10 axis.)

     A dispute resolution process has integrity, only when it is applied to everyone equally. Otherwise is has no integrity. If it has no integrity, it is a sham and a fraud. And that is exactly what this resolution process is. It is just something they can point to, to assuage the concern of the gullible. It is sort of like the old Soviet Constitution. It was just for show.

     Where is the conscience that would help this leadership team feel just a tad bit guilty, for keeping their highly touted resolution process in the drawer in this situation? There is no sign of that conscience anywhere.

     And look at this. Darkness spreads. A long time member of this Church, Eva Baumann, had kept a Pro-Life Vigil, every Saturday at the New York City Teaching Center, for the last Ten Years. No greater friend of Mother Mary is there, than a soul who stands for the life of the unborn, not in word, but in deed. Every Saturday, for ten years she has kept the vigil. Then, without explanation, without warning, in September of 2004, the Board of the New York City Teaching Center, at the behest of the central leadership I believe, tells Eva she can no longer lead her pro-life vigil, nor may she even attend it!

     Now, if the Board has a problem with Eva, that problem should have been addressed through the prescribed resolution process. But since the central leadership has no need for that resolution process, neither do their supporters have need for it at the local level. And so, a ray of darkness, of ignorance of the law, "shines" out from the headquarters in Montana, and that ray "illuminates" the minds of everyone who is on that wavelength of forgetfulness, and compromise. And what is the fruit of that "ray"? First it strikes a death blow against the interests of the unborn, and the interests of Mother Mary herself, who desires to anchor the pro-life flame at that teaching center. Anchored there, it is no more. Second, it strikes Eva with the blunt instrument of cruelty itself. Cruelty mind you. To cut off a person from an established avenue of important service is cruel enough. But to do so without explanation, that is cruelty times a thousand. It was our Beloved Kuthumi who said, that to leave someone in ignorance, is the greatest cruelty of all.

     Just as the central leadership has saddled the worldwide membership with the greatly increased burdens of injustice, related to its desecration of the central altar, and its destruction of the unity of the Russian Congregation, now the leadership of the NYTC, following this example, has saddled the members thereof, with this additional very grotesque burden of injustice related to the destruction of an established pro-life vigil.

     The membership of this organization needs to understand something. When principles are trampled on, that does not earn anyone good karma. It earns them the opposite. All those who stand by and allow the leadership to trample on the Teaching, on the law, and on these fundamental principles of fairness which were originally embodied in the resolution process, they are accountable. What does that mean? That means that their personal paths are in a holding pattern, until they go back and make right, what they allowed to go wrong. All the decree work in the world cannot change that equation. You are required to make right, what you personally allowed to go wrong. By audaciously trampling on principle, and forcing the membership to swallow these corruptions, this leadership is effectively putting the paths of every member of this organization into retrograde motion. The only people who can move forward, are those who stand and challenge the wrong doing. And not just for a day, but for as long as it takes for that wrong doing to be reversed, and restitution paid to those who have been harmed.

     The fallen angels alone say, "move on". Those words are not in the Ascended Master Lexicon. In the Ascended Master Lexicon, as each test is presented, it is passed, and only then does the student take a step forward on the path, in the direction of the next test. Ascended Master students never "move on" in abrogation of their responsibilities, requiring the soul to sort of slink forward in shame, always cognizant of the courage never born in their own hearts. Ascended Master students only March On, from one victory to the next, the courage associated with the last victory, providing the foundation for the next. It's amazing how people can be persuaded by this leadership to "move on" into the future, using the foundation of failure as a stepping stone. Talk about delusion, believing you have an opportunity to climb a mountain, when all the while you are sliding down the hill, deeper and deeper into the valley of shadowed compromise, fear, and shame.

     Before getting into the text of the letter itself, I would like to set forth some fundamental principles that will help us to evaluate the content of this letter in light of the Teachings of the Ascended Masters.

     The letter is dated September 21, 2004. This is the point that the sun enters the sign of Libra, God-Reality, on the 9 o'clock line of the Cosmic Clock. The perversion of this sign is delusion, and self-deception, born of the pride of the human ego untransmuted on the 3 o'clock Aries line of God-Control. What is the great delusion on the 3/9 axis on which the heart chakra is plotted? It is the conviction that the contemptuous sentiment which it harbors in relationship to a particular individual is real, and that this contemptuous sentiment has the authority to set the agenda for the mental body. And therefore, it is the conviction that this contemptuous sentiment must be given expression, and in the case of those who wield administrative power, that this contemptuous sentiment be expressed within the context of that administrative power. Of course, this is what the Masters have taught us to be wary of, the misuse of power by the 3/9 dweller. Again, due process procedures are targeted directly at this problem area, with an eye towards taking the sword of institutional power out of the hand of this dweller before it can wield that sword to cut down the innocent.

     Now, this theme, misuse of power, is expressed everywhere in Lois Drake's letter. And this particular category of behavior, misuse of power, in terms of expression, as opposed to origin, is associated most directly with the 12 o'clock line of the Cosmic Clock. The 12 o'clock line of the Cosmic Clock is the line of God-Power. This is the line that the crown chakra is plotted on.

     The right-use of God-Power is in the expression of pure illumination, or shall we say, pure wisdom. One of the most fundamental hallmarks of wisdom, is the power inherent in it, to help people understand. Whenever someone says something that strikes you as very wise, you are bearing witness to an inner experience where your vision has been expanded, and you say, I see, or I understand. You will see no effort in Lois Drake's letter to help anyone understand anything. The only thing conveyed in this letter are judgments, conclusions, or shall we say broadly negative characterizations of what I have published, without citing anything specifically, except in one case. In the one case where something was cited specifically, it can clearly be exposed as a false characterization. Even with this exception included, the entire content of this letter represents expressions of a polluted crown chakra, in as much as there is no effort made to be specific, in other words, to help me understand exactly where I have crossed the line, if indeed I have ever crossed the line.

     And so, we are focusing here on the pollution of the crown chakra, which is always related to the indulging of contemptuous sentiments towards another individual. We should note the progressional order. Contemptuous sentiments are rooted on the lines of the clock associated with the ruby cross, 1/7/4/10, as we have discussed above. A Contemptuous sentiment represents the misqualification of the light on each of these lines. The dweller of pride on the 3 o'clock line, in a state of delusion on the 9 o'clock line, holds these sentiments to be real, and lawfully expressible. The crown chakra, now in service to the law of the ego, rather than the law of the Christ, gives conceptual form to the Contemptuous sentiments, as circumstances require, in service to the ultimate goal of assassinating the character of the opponent. In this case we are talking about an institutional death sentence that places an institutional condemnation upon the target individual, ensuring that the individual will be shunned by all who still retain their life within the institution. Finally, the throat chakra sends the expression into physical manifestation.

     Now, it is important to understand that the minds of those who harbor contemptuous sentiments towards another individual, do not generate thoughts outside of the context of contempt. In this respect, all of their thoughts are generated inside the context of contempt. In other words, they cannot think a thought of pure darkness, and then turn around and think a thought of pure light. When the sentiment of contempt is indulged, it is like an iron sphere, all thoughts are contained inside of it, and they are all of pure darkness.

     Thoughts that are generated inside the context of contempt will always fall into the category of criticism, condemnation, and judgment. This brings us around full circle again to the pollution of the crown chakra plotted on the 12 o'clock line of God-Power. The perversion of this line, as the Masters have told us, is criticism, condemnation, and judgment. These thoughts will be broadly negative, and tend towards the purpose of character assassination only. In other words, the contemptuous sentiment has already forced the mental body into an overall posture of condemnation, reducing the stature of the target individual into the microscopic, pressing down towards a value of zero, and all thoughts within the mind will mirror that fundamental judgment. Within the contemptuous mind, these judgments are considered a-priori as true. They are unquestioned, and need no explanation. That is part of the 9 o'clock delusion. It is seamless. And that is the key to clearly identifying the source of broadly negative characterizations. Those who harbor them, and express them, will have no desire to explain them. It is in the lack of any will to explain oneself, to provide an exposition of facts or principles that will help the reader to understand why a particular negative conclusion was reached that points to the lack of illumination. As a general rule, if this will to explain is absent, then the Christ is absent.

     The will to explain onself, I believe, is the hallmark of the line of God-Victory on the 11 o'clock line. This is illumination expressed into the physical octave, the very substance of the Christ made manifest where it can reach the ears of other people, having overcome all the temptations towards misqualification on all of the preceding lines of the Clock.

     Going a bit deeper into this situation, one might wonder how it has come to pass that we have a church president that can only feel a contemptuous sentiment towards me, and thus can only expresses the pollution of the crown chakra in my direction. Of course, this is not limited to her. I believe the great majority of individuals who are now in power in this church, are in this category. And what is that category? It is the category of pride bound, or dweller fused, souls. These individuals have long ago refused to surrender their pride. When the point of surrender came for them, where they were given the opportunity to choose to move forward into the light, or step back into the shadows, they chose the shadows, and thereby became fused to their dwellers instead of fused their Christ identities. As Shakespeare put it, To be or not to be, that is the question. At the point they refused to be fused to the Light, their forward movement on the path ceased, the Masters would not give them any further initiations, and their inner worlds became darker and darker, rather than lighter. Amidst all of this light associated with our movement, and our decree services, their worlds began to shrink!

     And so, they live in fear primarily, and they are more desperate than most, to find some basis for anchoring a sense of self-worth, and where are they to get it, if they are not getting it from their inner communion with the Light? They get that sense of self-worth from their outer associations. For those in leadership, this means their positions of status in the organization. Beware I say of those who desire to have the title of minister. This is a position of both status and control, the best of both worlds for the 3/9 dweller. And so, when they make egregious mistakes, and you challenge them, and demand accountability, they look at you with fear first, and then hatred, for you are threatening the very foundation of their psychology. The very offices they occupy have been woven into the very equation of self-worth. This is why they will not admit mistakes. An admitted mistake means accountability. And accountability means removal from office. And they are in horror of that prospect. Why are they in horror of that prospect? Because, if they are removed from office, they will have nothing.

     Now, just to be clear on this point. I do not advocate removing people from office because they make mistakes. No. I advocate removing people from office when they show you that they are so dweller bound that they cannot admit their mistakes. Of course, it depends on the level of the mistake. But in most cases, if a mistake is admitted by the office holder, and there is expressed genuine contrition, and the individual is willing to perform penance, what you have is person who has grown from the experience, and is now more capable of being a good servant, not less capable, so there is no reason to remove that person from office. Those who cannot admit mistakes are those who are dweller bound, who are no longer on the path, notwithstanding the appearances, and having therefore no relationship with the Masters, have no resources of higher guidance to draw from, and will continue to make ever more destructive mistakes. These individuals need to be removed from office as quickly as you can determine that they are indeed dweller bound. As it stands, I believe this applies to our Church Manager, our Church Co-Presidents, and all members of the Board of Directors.

     When you have people who will not admit mistakes, and more importantly, in their exercise of institutional power, will not bend the knee before due process principles, this is what you have, individuals who walk in total darkness. And of course, this helps to explain why they stand in fear of due process procedures. If their desire to judge the behavior of another person is put on the table, and they are required to explain it, and give reasons for it, and back it up with principles and facts, well, in the course of such an open and fair procedure, they would be exposed as having only darkness inside of their minds. Everyone would see it. And seeing it, they would be laughed at. And their days of rulership would be numbered. Just like you will see in the letter below. They have no light. And so they rule by fiat, and do things in secret. And use the whip of fear and intimidation to keep the sheep in line.

     Finally, consider what it is that triggers the expression of contemptuous sentiment, bringing it to the surface in relationship to a particular individual. This is important to understand and to look at very closely. Pride is what triggers it. Pride is plotted on the 3 o'clock line of God-Control. Whenever you think about pride, you must think of the 3 o'clock line of God-Control, the first line of the mental quadrant. Here, the human ego, the conglomerate of the synthetic identity, has refused to give God control of the temple.

     First, let me say that this has very profound implications. I will talk about this more below. But primarily, what does God do, when God is in Control of the temple? God fills the temple with the very power of freedom and paradise, that's what he does!

     And so, pride, plotted on the 3 o'clock line, is a form of spiritual insanity to be sure, that drives the Holy Comforter away. Pride is that form of spiritual insanity that does not allow God's holy and divine energy to occupy the temple. Pride is that form of spiritual insanity that does not allow the soul to come into contact with the absolute proof that a higher power exists. Pride is that form of spiritual insanity that does not allow the soul to come into contact with the fact that that higher power can actually occupy your own temple. And so, here is the origin of the paradox that can wrap itself in the Teaching, as a glittering uniform, and status symbol, the very armor of self-righteousness, but at the same time, turn its back upon it, in other words, to reject, and forcefully, every opportunity for genuine assimilation. Pride is a power of darkness that desires to wear the Teaching on the sleeve, but will not allow it to reside in the heart.

     And out of the prideful heart proceeds darkness, and that darkness will not bend down before the Light, before the Teaching, even as it wears the Teaching itself on its sleeve as a symbol of status. This explains how our Church Manager, who is in CONTROL of the day to day activities of this organization, yes, the pride-bound Linda Worobec could take the hand of one of the greatest enemies of God, in this case John Lennon, a SATANIST no less, and to use the power of the Holy Altar itself, to make John Lennon more popular among God's children. The darkness extended out of her pride-bound heart, and the Teaching required the surrender of that darkness. The Teaching requires the surrender of that darkness, because that is the only way for Light to replace it. And to allow this process to take place, to surrender darkness, so that Light can replace it, that is what assimilation is all about. But pride rejects assimilation. And so, Linda Worobec said no, I will not surrender that darkness. And for all intents and purposes, she called the darkness Light. And the entire leadership let her get away with it. Of course, Church President Lois Drake, with the approval of the Board, appointed Linda Worobec to that office. They are all very sympathetic to her point of view.

     This 3 o'clock dweller, which refuses to give God Control of the temple, and thus retains this experiential barrier, is reinforced by the false hierarchy beyond. A very important principle this is. They have a great interest in maintaining that barrier. If they can maintain the barrier, they can destroy the soul, and along with it, the mission of this church. But, if the barrier of pride is broken the Light will win, and this is the last thing they want.

     Here we see the ground upon which the genuine lightbearer will surrender to truth, because truth is paradise. Once the soul experiences the inrush of the Holy Comforter, the soul understands, and this is true illumination, that the magnitude of this reward is beyond all earthly measure. This is the foundation for all steps of surrender that will come on the path ahead. In each case, as the genuine Lightbearer faces each test, the soul compares and contrasts earthly values, with divine values, and will choose divine values every time. And so, what is the prerequisite for the inrush of the Holy Comforter that will allow the soul to have access to a sense of divine value? It is the surrender of pride, it is the surrender of the 3/9 axis dweller.

     And so, when you have before you a soul who will not surrender to truth, this tells you, that the soul is pride bound, and not receiving the entry of the power of God. Pride bound souls are not receiving the inner experiences that are common to the normal lightbearer, and everyone should focus on that fact. When you see the expression of pride, think of the 3 o'clock line of God-Control, and know that you see a soul in front of you who has not surrendered control of the temple to God, and thus cannot know the power of beauty, comfort, paradise, and all of the higher order experiences that God desires to anchor in the votive chalice. And therefore, you will know, that in that pride-bound soul, that the feeling world has not been conformed and acclimated into the harmony of the higher order experiences. Pride bound souls do not know what paradise feels like. What they know is sympathy for those who stroke their ego, and contempt for those who challenge it. And there you have the genesis of the contemptuous sentiments. If you challenge the pride of anyone, the reaction is offense, and the inner posture of thought and feeling takes on the shape and character of contempt towards the one who has offended. All subsequent thoughts are formed in harmony with the contemptuous context, and as noted above, as the crown chakra goes dark, all that extends from it from that point forward will conform to the definition of criticism, condemnation, and judgment.

     We all face this test of confronting the 3/9 dweller. When the confrontation comes, we are taught to see that dweller for what it is, and to surrender it, and quickly. If we choose rightly, we cooperate with the all-important process of fusion with our Christ Identity. If we choose wrongly, if we refuse to surrender that pride, that is when the process of dweller fusion begins, and that process is hard to stop, because one mistake in this regard, quickly leads to another. This is the essence of the slippery slope.

     Church President Lois Drake, and those who are in the leadership generally, are far advanced on the path of dweller fusion, not Christ fusion. The evidence of this is written clearly in their actions. Of course, they are like lambs when people stroke their egos. No doubt about that. And within the context of their self-righteous pride, they sincerely try to play their parts as leaders of the Ascended Master cause, because if they are not that, they are nothing, having no claim upon the offices that serve as the foundation of their entire sense of self-worth.

     But there is one particular and crucial place where their dweller fused condition is exposed to the light of day. Obviously, to begin with, it is in their trampling of the law and the teaching. And we have examples of that before us. That is the subject of most everything published in this Journal for the last few months. But more importantly, we see that dweller exposed most clearly in how they react to being challenged. They will not bend the knee before the law. And that dweller is further exposed in how they wield institutional power in regards to those who challenge them. They will use their institutional power to get rid of people, outside of all due process procedures. Those who challenge them are held in contempt, and they wield institutional power against them, out of that energy of contempt. And as they wield that institutional power they do what the dweller of pride has always done, and that is break the law, even of common sense. In a certain respect, they are out of control, even from the stand point of self-preservation.

     Just two examples.

     First, there is the issue of the resolution process. They are already on record denying the application of the resolution process in a high profile situation. Here I speak of the Russian situation. You would think that they would not want to be challenged on that point again, and so obviously. After all, the straws on the camel's back do add up as times goes on. But, they have done it again. That is not even smart. Why go out on this limb that has to be sawed off? Clearly, history will record the correct judgment in this regard. Institutional power wielded without regard to due process is invalid. It is invalid everywhere in the universe, including inside of this church.

     Second, it is fair to say that 90% of what I have published and written is in regards to Church Manager's Rev. Linda Worobec's desecration of the Altar on July 4, 2003, and her role in the destruction of the unity of the Russian Congregation at the end of August 2003. Because Linda Worobec was appointed by Church Manager Lois Drake, common sense would communicate to a five year old, the need to recuse herself from this situation, because there is simply no possibility that she could be objective in her dealings with me. Her pride has been sorely offended because I have made it clear that her choice of Rev. Linda Worobec to be Church Manager, was a very foolish, dark, and ignorant decision. Sorely offended she is, and she uses highly charged negative words that communicate that fact in her letter below. For example, she calls some of my metaphors "vicious". That's pretty intense. And so, it is impossible for her to be objective, and yet she wants to be, personally, the hammer to smash my head, i.e. my ideas, into the ground. Why in the world would she leave herself open to such a fundamental challenge? It is because the level of her contempt would not allow her to disengage. It would have been far better for co-president Kate Gordon to have written this letter. Or even one or another member of the Board. But for Lois Drake to do it herself, this does place the worst possible face upon it. And so, there was not even enough light in her mind, or in the mind of anyone on the Board for the matter, to communicate to her this simple principle of self-preservation.

     Now, we are getting to the letter. Given the fact that the resolution process was not implemented in this situation, this letter, as one whole expression, represents a misuse of institutional power on the 12 o'clock line of the Cosmic Clock. In light of the principles set forth above, we would be able to predict from this premise that you will see that general theme expressed throughout the letter, in the form of the pollution of the crown chakra, and its characteristic hallmark, the use of broad negative generalizations, with no effort made to explain, or help the reader understand. As you will see, this conclusion will bear itself out. The letter contains simply a litany of many negative vague accusations and judgments. There is no effort to explain anything, no effort to help anyone understand anything.

     The letter is one page, six paragraphs. I am going to plot the whole letter on the 12 o'clock line, for the reason stated above. And that means that the six paragraphs can be plotted sequentially from the 1 o'clock, to the six o'clock line. Now, given the fact that we are beginning on the 12 o'clock line, and ending on the 6 o'clock line, we have in this letter, a representation of the 12/6 axis on which the crown and base chakras are plotted respectively. This reinforces the initial conclusion as to the character of the overall letter as representing a misuse of institutional power on the 12 o'clock line. What makes it possible for institutional power to be misused on the 12 o'clock line? It is because the light of the base chakra on the 6 o'clock line has not been raised to the crown. Why has it not been raised? Because of the non-surrender of pride on the 3/9 axis, and the concomitant indulging of the contemptuous sentiments discussed above, which keeps the heart (plotted on the 3/9 axis) from being accelerated into the domain of pure light. Taking the 3/9 axis which I have talked about at length above, along with the 12/6 axis spoken of here, we have in this letter an example of an expression that represents the perversion of each of the cardinal lines of the Cosmic Clock.

     I have scanned the original, and made it accessible HERE, for those who would like to see the whole of it, and perhaps read it start to finish apart from the editorial comments that follow. As noted, it is only a one page letter, with only six paragraphs. Here is the first paragraph. We will try to plot each of these paragraphs on the Cosmic Clock as we go.

"For several months you have published and circulated critical, even vicious, and untrue statements about Church Universal and Triumphant, its ministers, staff, and other members."

     This paragraph corresponds to the 1 o'clock line of God-Love, St. Germain as initiator. The other end of the line, which must be considered, is the 7 o'clock line of God-Gratitude, the Goddess of Liberty as initiator.

     These words represent the most grotesque perversion of these two qualities that you can possibly imagine, in two respects.

     First, from a heart of light, the things that I have written ought to invoke love and appreciation. I have written the truth. This line is all about love of truth. For if you don't love truth, you cannot truly love anything. I have exposed conditions that endanger the victory of the Ascended Master mission. If what I say is heeded, then the mission of the Masters can move forward towards victory. If not, defeat only is on the horizon. If the reader loves the Masters, their Teaching, and the mission they espouse, they will love what I write, for it is written to safeguard the integrity of all three. A genuine student would appreciate that. So, love and appreciation is truly the response of the Christ to what I have written. By contrast, this paragraph contains only an expression of seamless contempt and derision for what I have written, representing a total perversion of the 1/7 axis of the Cosmic Clock.

     Secondly, considering that St. Germain, and the Goddess of Liberty, are associated with this axis as initiators, we must ask ourselves, what would be the result of successful initiations on this axis? And we would conclude that a love for freedom of the press would be an expression of a properly qualified flame on this line. Even if I published something that was anathema to the sensibilities of the leadership, this line requires them to say, "I don't agree with what you are saying, but I will fight to the death for your freedom to say it." Is that sentiment expressed here? No.

     I remember these very words coming out of the mouth of the Messenger, "I don't agree with what you are saying, but I will fight to the death for your freedom to say it." And this was understandable, because the Masters mission depends on a free press as I already noted. She supported freedom of the press for everyone. Why? Shut down freedom of the press for one, you shut it down for all. How long would this organization survive if those who hated the message of the Masters were allowed to shut down our printing presses? Not very long.

     Of course, all of the lines, one through six, that correspond to these paragraphs, are all interpreted within the context of the 12 o'clock line. This means that each of these lines should also express to some degree, the characteristics associated with the perversion of the crown chakra on the 12 o'clock line. Those characteristics include, as noted above, the presentation of broad negative generalizations, without any effort to explain them, or help anyone to understand them. Of course, this is exactly what you have in this paragraph. Such broad and sweeping accusations, with out any attempt to back it up with the facts, represents criticism, condemnation and judgment of this publisher. In other words, character assassination.

     In regards to this characteristic lack of desire to communicate understanding, which is associated with the pollution of the crown chakra, we must ask these questions. What exactly was published by the Journal that they considered "critical". She doesn't say. What exactly was published by the Journal that was "vicious"? She doesn't say. What exactly was published by the Journal that was "untrue"? She doesn't say.

     Of course, there is a certain irony embedded in these unsubstantiated allegations. And this goes back to the central issue on the 12 o'clock line, in terms of the misuse of institutional power, predicated on the fact that the proscribed resolution process was not implemented. This is the irony. The substance of all of these assertions should have been, and would have been, adjudicated in a resolution process, if they had implemented the resolution process. That's where these assertions are to be laid on the table. That's where these assertions are to be examined under a bright desk lamp, where I am given the opportunity to see the specific charges against me, and to answer them with specificity. To make broad charges like this, and to not give specifics, nor the opportunity to address the charges before the judgment is rendered, that is a superb illustration of injustice, if I have ever seen one. Though I have to admit, that I have seen this before.

     Now, I am ready and willing to listen to anyone who challenges the accuracy of what has been published by this Journal. If anyone believes that any publishing activity by the Journal breaks any Ascended Master Law, or violates the vow of the Keepers of the Flame Fraternity, and these violations are seen to be so severe, as to jeopardize my standing in the Keepers of the Flame fraternity, that is exactly what the resolution process is intended to adjudicate. If the allegations are laid on the table, and I find that my conscience requires me to stand fast, then at least the inevitable judgment will have the aura of honor and integrity. As it stands, it has neither honor, nor integrity.

"The articles in your online journal contain false and derogatory statements about the Messenger. You have passed judgment on her and conveyed a false impression among your readers of her mission and service by calling her a king and describing her service to the Christ in all as a position of power over others."

     This paragraph corresponds to the 2 o'clock line of God-Mastery, Beloved Jesus Christ as initiator. The other end of the line, which must be considered, is the 8 o'clock line of God-Justice, with Beloved Lord Lanto as initiator. This is the first line of illumination that we have encountered, and it is therefore related to the issue of understanding and explaining onself, and I note here, that this is the only place in this entire letter where Lois Drake made anything close to a specific charge. But the charge is false.

     Lois Drake asserts that I called the Messenger a "king", and made various mischaracterizations concerning this. It is true, that in my essay, "First there were Kings, then there was Democracy," I compared the period of time in which the Messenger reigned supreme, to the times when Kings ruled the people, and I used King Arthur (an embodiment of El Morya) as one example, and I could have used King David (an embodiment of Jesus Christ) as another example, or King Solomon (an embodiment of St. Germain) as another example. I made a point to say that under certain conditions, that it is the will of God for the people to be ruled by a King. And so, in those situations, that is a good thing. I specifically referred to the Messenger as an example of a good King. See, you can read it for yourself. I have included that whole essay below. It is mostly an indictment of the current leadership, discussing how power corrupts, and turns into the exercise of tyranny, which in turn gives birth in the people to a desire for a more just form of government, which is democracy, where checks and balances are instituted in the governing structure, and the people have a role in the making of the laws. Of course, for it to work people have to become more responsible, and that corresponds to the time when the people are asked to embody more and more of their Christ Identity. That is what makes democracy work more or less. And that is probably why Lois Drake hates that essay so much. She relates so intimately with the totalitarian way of doing things, that it must really grate harshly against her sensitivities to even consider the idea that all power vested in one individual, or in a small ruling clique, yes, like the Communist Party, is really not the best way to do things.

     Lois Drake's desire to bring up this point wherein I compared the reign of the messenger to the period of time when kings reigned, before the advent of democracy, also tells us something very important about the dark compartment of consciousness within which Lois Drake operates.

     Let me say it this way. Where is the presence of mind in Lois Drake that would have said to her, "Wait a minute Lois. Our Beloved El Morya was embodied as King Arthur. Remember El Morya? He is the sponsor of our community? You know, he is the Master that has made all of this possible. And so, being a King, is not a bad thing. Do you see? You will look foolish if you try to make a big deal about this particular point. And this is the more true, when you consider that Jesus Christ was called the King of Kings. When God anoints a King, that makes for a good king."

     Of course, that is the point. Lois Drake does not have the presence of mind, the presence of illumination, which is a product of the descent of Light into the temple, that would enable her to even conceptualize, even to the faintest degree, this idea of God anointing a King. Her mind is totally dark, ruled completely by her sense of contempt for me. If I said it, it has to be bad. And there is no counter-force of light to bring her back to a point of balance.

     Moreover, in relationship to El Morya, what she has said in this paragraph indicates that she has not allowed her heart to be tied into the heart of the Master El Morya. I say this because she is not registering any amount of endearment when she thinks on King Arthur. I mean, if you think on King Arthur, your heart tells you that kings can be really good people. But she is outside of this domain of experience. Additional proof of this would be in her complicity in the performance of a Beatles' tune in King Arthur's Court. She had no sense of loyalty to El Morya that would inspire her to keep the altar from being desecrated in his court. After all this is King Arthur's Court. And of course, if you don't mind me reminding you, this is related, in sort of an indirect way, to the action taken by the Montana Team that Visited the Moscow Study Group on August 29, 2003. Remember what the leadership team did when they walked into the Study Group Sanctuary? When they entered, the keynote of El Morya was being played. The first thing this leadership team did was move to turn that keynote OFF.

     When the fallen angels are among the children of God, they wear a suit of armor, and it is called deception. And it is so solid, by virtue of their own delusions of grandeur. And these delusions are sincerely held. But, sometimes that armor develops a crack in it, and the darkness inside spews out, so that all the world can see what is actually in there. The pressure of hatred builds up, and up, and up, and it finally has to break out through the surface, cracking the armor like a volcanic eruption cracks the surface of the earth. When Linda Worobec planned a performance with a Beatles tune, and performed that tune on the Altar of the Holy Grail on July 4, 2003, that was one such event, where the crack in the armor exposed what was underneath. That action on her part, was an action of pure hatred, for the Christ, for the Masters, for the Teaching, and for God. This event of turning OFF the Master El Morya's keynote, was another such event.

     Now, there will come a time when the many will stand before the Lords of Karma, and receive the bad news, that their karmic load was made heavier in this life, rather than lighter, by virtue of their complicity in the crimes of these fallen angels. When that time comes, no one will be able to say, "I didn't know." For it is right there in plain sight for everyone to see.

     The fact that this leadership team refused to implement the resolution process already described and spoken about above, in relationship to the Russian situation, that was another crack in their armor of deception. The mandate to adhere to the law is before them all. But do they meet that mandate with obedience? No. They meet that mandate with hatred. They hate the law, they hate the resolution process. Who they are, was telegraphed to the whole world, when they refused to implement the resolution process in that situation.

     And that is another reason for remembering. God gives us what we need to succeed. This includes making an effort to provide us with clear and unmistakable indications of the presence of fallen angels who are among us, stealing our light, and reflecting back into our eyes the illusion of life and chelaship itself. When indications are given, they must be remembered. Remember what was at one time, but is no longer, written on the front cover of every Keepers of the Flame Lesson, "Hold Fast what Thou Hast Received." Do you believe that it is any coincidence that they moved this statement to the back cover? This is no coincidence. They don't want to encourage anyone to remember.

     Now, in regards to this essay, "First there were Kings, then there was Democracy," if this is the source for all of the additional assertions of wrong doing in Paragraph No 2, then the reader will be able to see, once you read that essay, how completely and utterly false Lois Drake's assertions would be.

     But unfortunately, she uses the word "article" in a plural form, "articles", which expands the region of alleged criminal activity to a much larger though indistinct, and undefined domain. And so, we have in this the same characteristic expression of the 12 o'clock line, pollution of the crown chakra associated with the misuse of institutional power, in the making of broad allegations with no effort to precisely define the infractions.

      Another thing to look for, when it comes to evaluating how attuned a particular individual in leadership is, to the heart of El Morya, is their desire they express to be precise in their language. We all have a long way to go before any of us can claim perfection in this regard, but you can certainly tell something about a person who makes no effort at all to be precise when it comes to the exercise of institutional power.

"Self-discipline in the law of everyday living, obedience to the laws of God and man, exactness in detail, precision in the precepts of the Logos and of the Mother these prepare your soul and your consciousness to expand and to reach out for the coordinates of the higher geometry of selfhood." El Morya - Chela and the Path, Letter X

     And so, we can again ask, beyond the specific article cited, "First there were Kings, then there was Democracy," where are these additional false and derogatory statements which I have allegedly made about the Messenger? Where are the additional places where I have allegedly passed false judgement upon her?

     There is something very wrong, if these questions have to be asked AFTER judgment is rendered and AFTER the institutional death sentence is implemented.

     And so, the same irony is embedded in these assertions as well. If the resolution process would have been implemented, these assertions could have been brought forth and put on the table, and addressed one by one. And in this area more specifically, where someone in leadership has taken offense in regards to such an historically broad subject area, and I am speaking about the issue of kings, everyone involved would have seen that they have entered into an area that has been traditionally off limits when it comes to the exercise of institutional power to suppress freedom of speech. We have long ago, as a society, abandoned any notion that subjective opinions could be judged criminal, let alone carry the consequences of capital punishment, even if it is only the prospect of institutional death. Stepping into this domain, is certainly a step backwards, a de-evolutionary slip as it were. And seeing this I think, every member of the Board would have backed off. And so, due process procedures help people to see the edge of the cliff before they step over it. It gives them a chance to stop and back up. It gives people an opportunity to think twice before they step off that cliff of total folly, and fall into the abyss of total delusion with all of its attendant karmic consequences.

     In regards to the subject of the messenger generally, I would say this. And this is not anything new. I believe that Elizabeth Clare Prophet was and still is, the chosen Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood. I believe she delivered a Teaching, that if adopted by the people of the earth, would bring this entire planet into a shining Golden Age. Did she make some mistakes? Yes. I wrote about one of those mistakes recently, in regards to choosing a universal icon of the homosexual community as an object for Ascended Master students to meditate on. That was a mistake. I made no judgments concerning her, other than that she made a mistake that needed to be corrected. As I have said before, the Messenger brought forth a veritable treasure chest full of jewels of truth. But there are some things in that treasure chest which are not truth. They are paste, in the vernacular. This is an example. We need to pluck out the mistakes, and keep the real jewels. And clearly, a free press is absolutely essential in that process.

     More then 200 years ago, the founders of this nation, seeing through the eyes of the Master St. Germain, were convinced that the benefits derived from nurturing a free press far outweighed any negative consequences associated with some people going overboard, which cannot be helped, because people are not perfect. This wisdom, which is a timeless wisdom, ought to be adopted as a tradition within this church.

"This is only one of the numerous errors and false statements you have made ..."

     Here, Lois Drake is referring to my comparison of the reign of the Messenger with the reign of a King. She calls this one of my numerous errors. Well, as you have seen, if you have read the essay below, this was not an error. This comparison was conceptually correct in every respect, and there was no disrespect at all communicated towards the Messenger in that essay. Now, if Lois Drake can refer to an example of a truth, as an error, then what are we to think of her judgment when it comes to telling the difference between truth and error in all the other cases she is referring to?

     Doesn't this one example make Lois Drake look foolish? I think so. Here, I believe, is an illustration of why it is very wise for the leadership to implement the resolution process. The resolution process will weed out false allegations from the true, and save the leadership the embarrassment of standing so proudly and prominently on the ground of error.

     But this is the bottom line here. I believe that the rest of their examples, if they would set them down on paper, would be shown to be similarly flawed. But we would not know for sure until they set them down on paper within the context of a fair and impartial resolution process.

"You have continued to disseminate disinformation about the Church and its members and have chosen not to retract or correct any of the false statements and malicious analogies you printed and published online."

     This paragraph, part A and B together, corresponds to the 3 o'clock line of God-Control, Beloved Helios as initiator. The other end of the line, which must be considered, is the 9 o'clock line of God-Reality, with Beloved Mighty Victory as initiator.

     This is the axis of the 3/9 dweller, the dweller of pride, as we have discussed above. It is the human ego that will not give God control of the temple. And therefore cannot know reality. And therefore lives in a world of dark delusions. And is therefore, the expressor of the most audacious hypocrisies. In fact, and this may be quite a surprise to some, this paragraph is actually a perfect expression of the identity of this dweller. In other words, this 3/9 dweller is describing itself.

"I (Lois Drake) have continued to disseminate disinformation about the Christ and I have chosen not to retract or correct any of the false statements I have made in this regard."

     The 3/9 dweller wants us to believe that it is in fact the Christ. It wants us to believe that its trampling of the law, and its complicity in rebellion, is an expression of the Christ (i.e ultimate authority). And so it parades itself before us as something that it is not. It is a constant fount of disinformation in this regard. This was the beginning and the ending of the situation with Linda Worobec's performance of a Beatles song on the Altar of the Holy Grail, which Lois Drake, and leadership generally, has repeatedly defended.

     I would say that the word "malicious" is a very highly charged negative word, that is only used in those cases wherein the person in question is clearly held in contempt. And in this respect, gives expression to the misqualification of the energies of the heart chakra which is plotted on the 3/9 axis.

     Again, we face in this paragraph, the same deeply embedded irony related to the resolution process. There are serious allegations embedded in this paragraph. If the resolution process had been implemented, we would not need to ask the obvious questions here. What "disinformation" are they talking about? What "false statements" are they talking about? What "malicious analogies" are they talking about? How can anyone properly defend oneself against such broad and sweeping generalizations?

     Again, in our attempt to come to terms with their after the fact allegations, we see that this is what a resolution process is for. If they have specific "disinformation" in mind, if they have specific "false statements" in mind, if they have specific "malicious analogies" in mind, they need to set those before me, in the context of fair and objective resolution process. Let each point of contention be examined.

     Of course it is true, that if they were totally confident in regards to the case they desire to make against me, they would reach for that resolution process in a heartbeat. The fact that they do not, tells the story. They are not confident. They are fearful of having to make a case for truth, for they know they do not have a solid grasp upon that illusive commodity. It is illusive to them for sure. They resort, in lieu of a honorable process of adjudication, to taking out their baseball bats. And they club me to institutional death, with these blunt mischaracterizations and falsehoods which they make no effort to support with any facts. "Disinformation," "false statements", and "malicious analogies"? As far as I know, and I should know because I am the one who is supposed to have published them, they do not exist.

     Now, in regards to retractions, just because people write to me, and say they are offended about this or that, even if they are a member of the leadership, that is no basis to print a retraction. To print a retraction, I must be convinced that the alternate information is accurate. If the person requesting a retraction is not willing to go through a process where their information can be validated, then they cannot expect me to take them seriously.

     For example, Rev. Peter Duffy wrote me an email and challenged my assertion that a song, written by the Steve Miller Band, "Fly Like an Eagle" was performed at the Youth Night during the latest 2004 Freedom Conference. The Steve Miller Band is a Rock Band, and that song is a Rock Music song. Now, my source in this regard, I trust. And so, to retract the statement, I need convincing alternate information. So I wrote back to Rev. Peter Duffy, asking him to send me the program for the Youth Night, so I could see with my own eyes, that the song "Fly Like an Eagle" was not on it. I did not hear back from him. He did not respond. If the person will not make the effort to prove their point, then there is nothing I can do. I will stand by my original source. Though in this situation it would have been sort of ironic, if the email blocking measures instituted by Lois Drake kept my response from reaching Peter Duffy. I suppose that is possible. I remain open to receiving whatever corroborating information that Peter Duffy would like to present to me.

     As another example, I received an email from a person purporting to be Dorothy Lee Fulton. In the first email from this person, she was rude and contemptuous, and confusing. Obviously she did not like something I wrote, but she did not specify anything exactly. I was skeptical, but wrote back to her in a civilized manner, asking her to be specific. After a long time, she finally wrote back, and stated that my story, regarding the Messenger's disciplining of Linda Worobec in regards to Beatles music, was wrong. She again expressed contempt for my person. And so, I was skeptical. People who express themselves out of a contemptuous spirit are not vibrating in the region of truth. So, I wrote back to her, and told her, that I could only print a retraction if I could verify the information. Again, I trust the source of the original information, so I am not going to abandon it, on a whim, or under pressure. In this case this would require her to arrange a phone conversation with me so I could determine if this was really Dorothy Lee Fulton behind these emails, and I could ask her some additional questions. For example, what exactly about the story was wrong? She never responded. And moreover, there was something very strange about the idea that the "Messenger of Music" would come to the aid of a person who had performed a Beatles song on the Altar of the Holy Grail. That just didn't smell right. I suppose it was possible that someone was using her email account. Or perhaps, given her age, it is possible that a member of the leadership was twisting her arm to refute my report, taking advantage of her failing memory. Clearly, a phone conversation was necessary to eliminate these uncertainties. Given the fact that she did not respond further, I had no choice by to stand by my original story.

     I suppose in retrospect, when it comes to the threatening letter Lois Drake sent to me, April 23, 2004, where she tried to explain how wrong I was in my position on the issue of Rev. Linda Worobec's desecration of the altar, that it was possible that she had the expectation that I would simply accept her conclusions, and sweep my own off the table. But, there is no logical weight, no weight of reason, in anything Lois Drake said in that letter, so if she had those expectations, they were certainly unrealistic, which is another attribute of the 3/9 dweller. And isn't that a well-known character trait exhibited by totalitarian dictators from the beginning of time. Their word is the law. They expect people to bend down in adoration before their words. And when they don't, they use the power of the state to punish them.

     When it comes to inaccuracies in factual information, there is a clear cut duty to retract any error in this regard. I am committed to this. If someone can refute a particular point, with verifiable facts, or other substantial testimony, then I am happy to retract any errors I have set forth. When it comes to differences of opinion, in terms of conclusions that I have reached, of course I believe my conclusions correspond to the truth as far as I am able to see the truth. But here too, I am open to correction. But those who challenge conclusions have an added responsibility to be reasonable and civilized in their objections. I would say that 99% of all objections I have received are expressed out of a spirit of contempt and derision for my person. This is always the product of an offended 3/9 dweller, which as I have noted, will experience the truth as a red hot cattle prod. Their crown chakras are already dark, so they don't spend an time trying to convince or persuade in a rationale manner. They just send their little package of demons into my inbox, and when I open their email, they all climb out, with their baseball bats in hand, and proceed to pummel me over the head. This is no way to change anyone's mind.

"You have shown no interest in taking the opportunity for counseling or upholding the pledge of the a Keeper of the Flame. This behavior sends a message that you have no desire to be a part of this organization."

     This paragraph corresponds to the 4 o'clock line of God-Obedience, Beloved God Obedience as initiator. The other end of the line, which must be considered, is the 10 o'clock line of God-Vision, with Beloved Mighty Cyclopea as initiator.

     Here we have an expression that is very uniquely associated with the 4 o'clock line. The perversion of the 4 o'clock line is disobedience, and rebellion against the law. We find this in the reference to an "opportunity for counseling". If you look at the resolution process, the opportunity for counseling is referred to in two places. First in Step 3, "A minister from headquarters or a regional or local minister may provide counseling to the parties involved." But you only get to this step after a formal complaint has been registered with the Board, and the Board has notified the defendant, as it were of the charges. The subject of counseling is again spoken of in Step 6, where counseling is spoken of as part of a possible discipline. But this step is reached only near the very end of the resolution process when it has been determined, through a fair review of the allegations and facts, that the accused has a problem.

     I believe that this reference to an opportunity for counseling underscores the depth of the rebellion within which Lois Drake is mired. The first order of rebellion, is to refuse to implement the resolution process itself. The second order of rebellion is to go into the resolution process itself, and to try to use an element of it, but out of order, giving the false impression that a resolution process has been implemented. This would be rebellion against the truth itself, in setting before us a bold deception.

     Where is the presence of mind that would say to Lois Drake, the following: "You cannot refer to the opportunity for counseling, because that is part of the resolution process, and you have not implemented the resolution process. If you refer to it, you will be giving a false impression that the resolution process has been implemented. So, don't do it, don't refer to it." And we might even consider this to be the voice of the law of common sense itself. And what has she done? She has disobeyed, and rebelled against the law of common sense itself.

     Moreover, this reference to counseling is another example of the lack of realism associated with the 3/9 dweller. Every minister of this church has been complicit in the July 4, 2003 desecration of the Altar of the Holy Grail by Church Manager Rev. Linda Worobec. They have been complicit in the destruction of the unity of the Russian Congregation. They have been complicit in the destruction of the ascended master publishing operation associated with that congregation. How would it be possible, under these circumstances, for me to have any trust or faith in the counseling ability of any of these individuals? They are going to counsel me in how to better swallow the corruptions of this leadership? Given the issues that are in contention, this is completely unrealistic.

     And so, in this regard, to mention counseling at all, under these circumstances, is so much sophistry.

     Though it is also true, that the reference to counseling plays a more sinister role, providing a subtle point of character assassination. This is a common debating tactic of the 3/9 dweller, asserting a condition of mental illness, which is to say a structural fault within the heart, mind and soul of the opponent. "You have a problem. You need help. You need counseling." Used in this way, it is an expression of criticism, condemnation and judgment.

     In regards to upholding the pledge of a Keeper of the Flame, to make this assertion in a useful manner, so that it can stand any amount of scrutiny, the author of this letter needs to spell out how I have not upheld my pledge. There is no attempt to make clear how I have been remiss in this regard.

     Any reasonable review of this particular assertion would expose it to be false. And we will make that review here.

     What does it mean to be a Keeper of the Flame? If Lois Drake could articulate that, you could be sure that she would have done it. And she would have driven her point home, by showing how I have not kept my pledge. But she has done none of that. She sets the assertion out there, as if it were true. But it is not true. It is false.

"Before my own Real Self and the Great law of my being, before the hierarchies of heaven and all who have overcome the world, I pledge my life, my love and my devotion to the cause of world and individual freedom sponsored by Saint Germain and the ascended masters. Therefore, I apply to be a member of the Keepers of the Flame Fraternity."

     I affirm everything in this paragraph. Standing for the truth, when it comes to exposing corruptions in the leadership, and demanding accountability from our leaders, is an integral part of this cause. How can the cause of the Maser Saint Germain succeed, when the forces of darkness are allowed to take control of the leadership and remain unchallenged? It is impossible. Everything that is published in this Journal, as far as I can tell, fulfills this pledge.

     In looking at the specifics of this pledge, the reader might recall how in, "The Real, Honest-to-God Reason We are in Iraq Today - And Why the Forces of Darkness are Not Happy About It", I exposed the truth regarding the leadership's lack of interest in the cause of freedom in Iraq. Remember, in the first decree insert they produced on the issue of Iraq in March of 2003, the word "freedom" was never used.

"I vow to be a keeper of the Light of God in man and I affirm that I am my brother's keeper. I will strive to be a living example of the Law of Life, to espouse virtue and shun evil, and to bear witness to the Truth. I will recognize all members of the fraternity as brothers and sisters. I merge the flame blazing on my heart's altar with the flame of the Knight Commander to uphold and strengthen his thrust for a cosmic purpose in this age."

     I wholeheartedly affirm everything in this paragraph. Though there is one point that is a bit sticky I must admit.

     First though, as far as being a keeper of the Light of God in man, as you will see from the evidence I will set forth below, I am a keeper of the Light of God in THIS man, i.e. in me, and by the stands I have taken, I am convinced, and I have no doubt about it, that I am a keeper of the Light of God in my brothers and sisters.

     What does it mean to be a living example of the Law of Life? What is the Law of Life? Perhaps we could say that the Law of Life is the Law of Love. And what is it most important to Love? As I have noted before, if you cannot love truth, it is impossible for you to love anything else in a genuine manner. And so, the Law of Life, reduces itself to the Love of Truth in is most basic expression. I believe I have expressed this love of truth, and as you will see, that Masters agree, and they, along with God our Father and Mother, have rewarded me, and in these rewards, encouraged me to continue on with my work, regardless of the stinging arrows I must pull out of my body from time to time.

     Now, the interpretation of this sentence of the pledge, actually tells us what the Law of Life is, and it comports with the analysis just set forth. "I will strive to be a living example of the Law of Life, to espouse virtue and shun evil, and to bear witness to the Truth." This clause, " ... to espouse virtue and shun evil, and to bear witness to the Truth," should be taken as a definition of the Law of Life, not an additional set of standards to strive for. To espouse virtue, to shun evil, and to bear witness to the truth, is the Law of Life, for the purposes of this pledge.

     I espouse virtue, and I shun evil to the very best of my ability. When it comes to shunning evil, when I see evil in the leadership, I have shunned it. The record is there for everyone to read. And I have expressed the virtues of constancy, persistence, determination, and courage in this regard. When it comes to exposing corruptions in the leadership, and demanding accountability from our leaders, this is integral to my pledge to "bear witness to the Truth."

     By contrast, I think this might be a basis for a counter complaint. Everyone in the collective leadership has refused to uphold the pledge in a very specific regard. To perform a Beatles song on the Altar of the Holy Grail, is evil. Linda Worobec has refused to shun evil. And the collective leadership in their support of Linda Worobec has also refused to shun evil. As a part of this counter complaint, we could observe, that by foisting compromise of the law upon the membership, this leadership is encouraging the growth of darkness in the membership, and has therefore broken that part of the pledge to be a keeper of the Light of God in man.

      Moreover, Church President Lois Drake, and each member of the Board is in violation of this aspect of the Keepers Pledge, in the area where their offices require them to implement the resolution process in a fair an equitable manner. "I will strive to be a living example of the Law of Life, to espouse virtue and shun evil, and to bear witness to the Truth." Obviously they have refused to implement the resolution process. This, it seems to me, is the opposite of virtue, and might be the basis for a counter complaint as well. What is virtue, if it is not keeping your word, and keeping your promises? They distribute a resolution process out of headquarters that states clearly, they are committed to implementing it. When they don't implement it, that is the opposite of virtue. That is a corruption of integrity. It is a breaking of a sacred trust as they rush helter skelter to fulfill their selfish and short sighted ends.

     Now, here is the sticky part. "I will recognize all members of the fraternity as brothers and sisters." This is certainly the general rule. And I am committed to upholding it. But there is an exception to all rules as you know. When fallen angels enter into an organization of light, and begin to corrupt the very teaching, we deal with them in a different way, than we deal with those who are genuine brothers and sisters. We challenge their darkness, and we shun their evil, and we demand accountability for the crimes they commit. Jesus Christ himself referred to these individuals embedded in the leadership of the Jewish religion as "vipers". He referred to them as "whited sepulchers, full of dead men's bones." I have been far more lenient.

     It has been a gradual process for me, in making the determination that some in our leadership actually fit the definition of fallen angels. It was not an easy conclusion to come to. But as they have continued to give evidence of their recalcitrance, when it comes to refusing to admit to mistakes, refusing to show any sign of contrition, in this regard, in the very durability of their pride, that it where you finally see that you are dealing with a fallen angel. Pride is the sign. This is the seed characteristic of the Great Rebellion. This is the primary character attribute of Lucifer, Satan, and all their lieutenants. They will not bend the knee before the law. They trample the law of fairness and justice at will. And when they are challenged to repent, they spit back only defiance. Their pride is impenetrable. And consequently, their darkness was total. And they have the ability to posture themselves before the people as angels of light, and to deceive them, and through that deception, to steal the light of the people.

     They have this ability to stand before the people, as if they know the way to go, as if they are leading them up the mountain, and at the very same time, they are sucking the very lifeforce out of their bodies, leaving them hollow, and weak, and incapable of anything but dying.

     Hold fast what thou hast received. I have received a crystal clear, unshakeable, and immutable insight into the mass of darkness behind Church Manager Linda Worobec's rebellion. I can see clearly, that to have done what she has done, represents an inner alliance with the false hierarchy. It is a very strong alliance. Very strong. I hold fast to that insight. I will not drop it into the bin of forgetfulness, as the leadership suggests. Those who are comfortable in her presence, those who make excuses for her, have a taste for the vibration of death itself. The death of the soul.

"I recognize my responsibility to support the expansion of Saint Germain's mission for this age, both spiritually and materially. Therefore, each day I will recite "The Keepers Daily Prayer" and give my energies in invocation to the sacred fire on behalf of all life. And I will pay monthly dues to promote the publishing of the masters' teachings through The Summit Lighthouse."

     Of course, my most obvious expression of support is in the giving of my life for the casting of these fallen angels out of the leadership of this church. It is impossible for St. Germain's mission to succeed under these circumstances. Those who have taste for darkness, and the pride that contains it, like unto a great cast iron pot which sits upon a constantly blazing bonfire of hatred, must be kept out of the leadership positions in this church. We can only look forward to an expansion of the mission, when the membership comes to terms with this situation, and demands the implementation of procedures that will ensure that these dark ones can be weeded out of all leadership positions. I recite "The Keepers Daily Prayer" every day, and I maintain my daily vigil at the altar every day. And I have kept current in my fraternity dues. No fault can be found in me here.

"I will pursue diligently the application of the Law set forth in the Keepers of the Flame lessons. I will hold fast what is vouchsafed to me in these confidential lessons, sharing them with no one."

     In reference to the application of the Law, founded on a love for the truth, and a public expression of that love, I believe I am in compliance with this aspect of the pledge. The breaking of this aspect of the pledge, would have to entail an allegation of the breaking of some aspect of the Law, which by definition has to be specific, and clearly delineated. No such specific and clearly delineated allegations have been made. Therefore, I proceed forward with confidence, that I am doing a fairly good job in this respect, but never so confident that I am not open to correction when circumstances require it.

     But perhaps, there might be a bone of contention in regards to the last five words. "Sharing them with no one." What does "them" mean? Certainly it cannot mean the actual knowledge that is in the lessons, which the student has assimilated into his life as wisdom itself. As to this, the Masters are on record, saying clearly, and without ambiguity, "Tell them." And so, "Sharing them with no one." must refer to the physical lessons themselves. We are forbidden from sharing the physical lessons with anyone. And I have kept the pledge.

     But, the line is a little bit fuzzy, when it comes to sharing content under certain circumstances. In the original lessons, you will note the presence of line numbers. Line numbers are for reference purposes. The presence of these line numbers implies that the Masters desired for these lessons to be studied in a group setting, where the content of the lessons could be discussed, and in the discussion, various passages could be referred to more precisely by the use of line numbers. Perhaps a group leader might even reproduce a passage on a blackboard, or an overhead projector, to make a particular point. I have on one occasion included a portion of a Keepers of the Flame lesson in one of my articles. These articles are intended for Keepers of the Flame, and therefore I believe that sharing lesson content there, would be very similar in spirit, to that of a group study session, and therefore would be in alignment with the intent of the Masters, and in alignment with the rule set forth in the pledge.

     Though, you will notice that they have removed the line numbers from the lessons now. Why did they do that?

     And so, when you are considering what it means to be a keeper of the Light of God in man, the first question is, how do you get the Light of God? The Masters have to give it to you. That's what the Path of Initiation is all about. Once they give it to you, then you have to learn how to keep it.

     Again, we come to the important saying that used to be on the front of every Keepers of the Flame Lesson, but is no more. "Hold Fast what Thou Hast Received." This refers to LIGHT. Do you think that it is any coincidence that this motto has been taken off the front cover, and put on the back cover? I tell you, this is no coincidence. Those who did this, are not aware of how important it is to hold fast to what thou hast received. Why? Because they have not received anything. Again, they have not received anything of value. And so, they move it to the back page, and they clutter it up by expressing it in terms of a scriptural passage, when it was intended as a memorable, and timelessly valuable principle of the highest and greatest importance. "Hold Fast what Thou Hast Received." This refers to LIGHT.

     How do you know when you have Light? Isn't that a good question? I think so. If the current members of the leadership understood this, they would know that they don't have any, and maybe then, they would get some humility. But I won't hold my breath.

     The presence of Light is the most obvious, when you are being bombarded by Darkness. In other words, when you are serving the cause of Light, especially at the point of the spear, and this means you are standing for truth in the face of the liar and his lie, you are ferociously attacked by all manner of darkness, and when you step before the altar, and you open your mouth, and give the call, the power that descends that sets you free from that darkness, that is Light. That is where, and that is how you get a sense for what the presence of Light feels like. You must get a sense of what it feels like first, before you ever see any great amount of it, because feeling the presence of light, is part of the process of assimilation, it is part of the process of assimilating the Law, the Law of Harmony primarily, and most importantly, it is part of the process of giving over the control of your temple to God. And what does God do, when he has control of your temple? We talked about this before. Again think of the 3 o'clock line of God-Control. What does God do, when he has control of your temple? He fills it with paradise. He blesses you beyond anything you could ever imagine.

     And when it comes to keeping light, to hold fast to it, we ask, how do we lose it? And the Masters answer that question in the Teaching. We lose the light through misqualification, and there are various categories of misqualification that we must learn to recognize. This is like learning to locate and plug the holes in your bucket. Also, the forces of darkness would like to dip their ladles into your bucket, so you have to learn to slap their hands, and drive them away whenever they approach. In reality, the two are closely related. But let me say this. Maintaining ties to the false hierarchy, through the indulging of rebellion and pride, this is not simply a hole in your bucket. This is part of an established plumbing system that draws the content of the vessel off into the holding tanks of the false hierarchy. This is why pride is so deadly. Indulging pride cuts the soul off from direct contact with the Masters. These souls must learn to get their light someplace else, and that means they must steal it, and they do that best by placing themselves in front of us, as our leaders, and through the devotion they demand from us, they steal our light.

     You see, if you indulge pride, and the rebellion that goes with it, they are two peas in pod, that makes it impossible for you to keep the most basic part of the Keepers Pledge. You cannot be a keeper of the Light of God in man, if you indulge pride and rebellion. You can't be a keeper of the Light of God in man, because you have no Light to keep. The Masters won't give you any. And so, this is the most important line of exposure, when it comes to identifying those who stand before us as angels of Light, but who are not. Pin the tail on the donkey at that point, and you will have won the game. In other words, if you keep your eye on that precise point, you can't be deceived. If they will not surrender their pride, they cannot be a keeper of the Light of God in man. And if they say, "follow me," don't be so foolish as to follow them into the abyss of self-destruction.

     Again, what is the sign of pride? A person makes a clear mistake, trampling on some aspect of the Law, like Linda Worobec did when she performed a Beatles song on the Altar of the Holy Grail. That is the rebellion. When challenged, the person will refuse to admit that they made a mistake. No sign of contrition, no possibility of entering into a penance. That is pride. Perhaps the personality glitters all over with the appearance of all manner of sophistication. But it matters not. Under that thin shell of illusion, you have a mass of unyielding darkness that will continue to endanger the mission.

     By making the effort to hold leaders accountable, we ensure that we will have leaders who have Light to lead us by, rather than darkness to lead us astray. If they make mistakes, but readily bend the knee before the process of accountability, we know we have leaders who have light. If they refuse to bend the knee before the process of accountability, we know they harbor only an unyielding darkness. Let these be removed quickly.

     Now, in the course of writing various articles on this subject over the last several months, and these are the ones that Lois Drake, and the leadership generally, finds totally repugnant, I have been trashed by great amounts of darkness coming at me from all directions. And faithfully, when I go before the Altar, and I make the call, the Light descends, and it sets me free. That's why I don't back down. That's why I am so certain that I am going in the right direction. I am supported by the descent of Light. And in response to those who would write me negative letters, expressing some of the same sentiments that Lois Drake has expressed in her most recent letter, I composed a standard response, and in most cases, this seemed to satisfy most of my critics. I will include it here as a prelude for a more substantial exposition of evidence, as to my capacity to keep this most important aspect of the Keepers Pledge.

     These words describe these experiences precisely, though I have not reached the level of constancy expressed in the phrase "Continually made manifest". Nevertheless, "the ascended masters' victory" is exactly the experience I describe, where the forces of darkness that have fallen upon you are totally swallowed up by the sacred fires of paradise. This power I describe is the power of "eternal freedom" referred to here. The power of sacred fire does set the soul free from all lower order energy systems. As long as the sacred fire is manifest, nothing can touch the soul. And here more specifically, "freeing me by the power of the sacred fire from those misqualified foci of energy within my being." This is exactly what I describe in the letter above.

     And then there is the next paragraph as follows:

     Yes, "I am set free now from all the binds .." Clearly this fact of being set free is undeniable. In one moment you are bound by many facets of oppression, but in the next moment, you are free, and immersed in a forcefield of absolute paradise. And this prayer tells us exactly how to interpret that. It says, "I AM set free now from all that binds, by and through the currents of the divine flame, of the sacred fire itself". Yes, it is the divine flame, the sacred fire itself that sets us free. And while we are immersed in that forcefield of sacred fire paradise, what does that make us? This prayer tells us. When the sacred fire is present, we are "God in manifestation, God in action, God by direction and God in consciousness."

     I would direct the reader's attention most specifically to this concept, that when the sacred fire is present, we are "God by direction." Our interpretation can take two paths, but they are compatible.

     First, we can ask, By whose direction? Isn't that the question? By whose direction? The sponsoring Master has released the sacred fire into our worlds, first by virtue of the tests we have passed, and second by virtue of the calls we have made. The Master, in direct consultation with God our Father and Mother, has made a conscious choice to do that. More precisely, the Master has been directed by the Law itself, to release the power of God into the temple of the soul. When the sacred fire is present, the very substance of God is present, so we can say, we are God, by the direction of the Great Law, by the direction of the Divine Plan, or according to the blueprint of God's Purpose at a given moment.

     And secondly, from this self-evident knowledge concerning the divine origin of this power, and the fact that it is extended as a reward for right action, we conclude that our general life direction must correspond to the fundamentals of the Law that rules the Path of Initiation. Exactly. This is what defeats doubt. This manifestation of power is more than anything else, a reward. That's the way I read it. But I admit we must be careful here, because it is true nevertheless, that the Messenger, amidst such a great light as well, did make some fairly substantial mistakes in judgment. And so, while we move forward confidently, we remain open, at the same time, to correction, the more cautiously as we ponder her fate, using it as a warning sign. This is prudent.

     Here is the most important point. The Master would never release this kind of power into the world of anyone who is guilty of the things that Lois Drake asserts in her letter that I am guilty of. It is just impossible.

     And so, the Board of Directors, and Lois Drake, they have their opinion of who I am. But their opinion is wrong. They have reached their judgments. But their judgment is wrong. The Masters have spoken, and their opinion is what matters to me, and what should matter to every member of this church. It should be what matters to the church leadership, but they have long since turned their back upon the Masters (internally). Yes, the Masters are on their lips, but not in their hearts. For all of us, who are not being pulled into the abyss of rebellion in the idolatrous wake of these rebels, it is the opinion of the Masters that should matter.

     And how do they express their judgment, their opinion? It is through the descent of the sacred fire that I have described in the short letter above, and which I will give more evidence below. Where and when the sacred fire descends, this is where the judgment of God descends. That's a fact. And what is that judgment? This is the judgment. Here is a soul that has proven that he can be trusted to not misqualify the Light. Therefore, more Light can be added. Here is a soul that has proven that he will only use the Light in service to the truth. Therefore, more Light can be added. Here is the soul that deserves freedom, because of his efforts to set others free. Therefore, let the sacred fire descend even more quickly, to deliver this soul out of bondage more quickly. Here is a soul that deserves mercy, because he has been merciful to others. Yes, merciful, even as I challenge the darkness that has a grip on the very hearts of so many in the leadership of this church.

     It is so ironic, the response that I got from the infamous Shyron Bynog, (End-of-Month Bonus Linda Worobec Supporter Shyron Bynog Speaks), when I communicated to the membership the occurrence of this traumatic event, and that more news would be forthcoming. Her responses to me, was this: "How fantastic! My prayers have been answered! 144 judgment calls every day just for you!" I told her before, I do not fear the judgment of God. This is why. That judgment descends upon my head every day as the presence of paradise with the message "Well done good and faithful servant."

     Using my scanner, I have compiled a series of excerpts from my daily journal, taken from August 20, 2004, to September 21, 2004, which is a period of one month. This was the month that preceded the action by Church President Lois Drake, and the Board of Directors which effectively excommunicated me from this blessed and precious church community.

     I would like the reader to understand, that this evidence extends into the past, not by days, weeks, or months, but by years, and into the future as well. I have scanned only the 30 day portion that preceded the false judgment of the Board of Directors, and a few days beyond that, up to the point where I received the letter, and decided how I was going to respond.

     What I recorded in my journal during this 30+ day period proves the above assertion. At the same time that God our Father, and the Masters are making it clear beyond all doubt that they are pleased with my performance, and that I am passing my tests, the church leadership is growing increasingly fearful of me, increasingly doubtful of me, increasingly angry with me, increasingly impatient with me, where finally, on September 21, 2004, they decide they cannot stand the sight of me any longer, reaching the conclusion that they must excommunicate me from this church.

      This evidence, which I will set before you, will prove that the Board of Directors, and the Church President, are out of step with the purposes of God and of the Ascended Masters. This evidence will prove that at the very same time that the Board of Directors, and the Church President Lois Drake are extending contempt and derision in my direction, that God and the Masters are filling my Treasure Chest to overflowing. Yes, they are anchoring the Treasures of the Light in the earth right here, in this temple.

     Without a doubt, and make no mistake about it, there is a special way that God our Father, using the communication links provided by the hearts of the Ascended Masters, says to the soul, "Well done, my good and faithful servant." This is through the impartation of the greatest reward that there is now, and there has ever been. It is the gift of the sacred fire. When we feel that sacred fire take command of our temple, we know we are in alignment with the law, and that we are passing our tests. This is fundamental fact. The presence of the sacred fire is the foundation for all attainment.

     Before presenting the evidence, in the form of the journal scans that I have referenced above, I would like to take this opportunity to make a few additional observations concerning the nature, and the characteristics of the sacred fire. I want to do this, and there is a need to do this, because the lower order memory, the memory associated with our status quo consciousness, does not readily link into these memories of the sacred fire that are given to us at the altar. We need to dwell on this for a little longer, so that the reader will have an opportunity to access those memories, if indeed the reader has those memories. If you are genuine student of the Masters, you should have these memories.

     And so, let us ask, and answer these questions. What is the sacred fire, where does it come from, and what is its purpose?

     As to where it comes from, it is always released from the heart of the Ascended Masters who stand with the soul during vigils at the altar. 99% of all experiences of the sacred fire are given to us in our sanctuaries, during our devotional periods before the Altar. That's why, for those who experience it, the Altar is sacred. Sacred Fire, Sacred Altar. I say this with an eye towards our Church Manager Rev. Linda Worobec, who, in a premeditated manner, performed a Beatles song on the Altar of the Holy Grail in King Arthur's Court, on July 4, 2003, before the worldwide community of Ascended Master students. And I say this with a eye towards the entire collective leadership who did not feel any harm was done. The altar was not sacred to them. In fact, it was a fitting place to help make a particular enemy of God and the Brotherhood, more popular among Ascended Master students (John Lennon).

     The sacred fire is extended into our temple for a purpose. One of the most important purposes is that of encouragement, comfort, and further inspiration. It is always an inner treasure. On the one hand, it is always the power of freedom, and on the other, it is always the avenue by which the love of God, and all the heavenly hosts reaches the sensibilities of the soul. As the soul is immersed in the sacred fire, the consciousness itself becomes translucent, and the soul can sense through this translucence the great spaciousness of the divine creation. The soul peers into the midst of it, and there is no sense of any limits, only the sense of that which registers on the awareness as precious qualities. There are no words in any human language that can describe these precious qualities to any degree of precision. If I say apple, you can see an apple in your mind's eye. But there are no similar words in the English language, at least not yet, that would enable you to lock into the characteristics of one aspect of sacred fire experience over another. It is much like the sensation of a cool breeze on your skin on a hot day. To know it, you must feel it. Your feeling world must register it. Certainly we can say accurately that each precious quality is in a category of wonder all by itself. But to find a word to categorize any particular quality, I don't know of any.

      In this regard, then, the sacred fire is clearly a power that transcends thought. It transcends thought by lifting the soul's awareness out of the region of thought, and into a higher region of attunement with energy systems that again, register upon the soul as things precious and cherished. In this lifting action, from whence it gains its reputation for liberation, the soul is lifted out of the socket of the carnal mind, setting the soul free from all of the tugging and pulling and aggressive confusion of the astral plane. In the presence of the sacred fire, all of that is now down below, way below, not registering on the awareness at all, and the soul, the whole consciousness is merged into what could be described as an energy field of paradise. Paradise is the best word we have for this experience. Everything about the experience is good, but beyond good, pegging the goodness meter at the upper limit, but never overdone, always masterfully melded into the fabric of awareness.

     Because the blessedness of this power is so great, the attention is locked into it, and revolves around it. The attention revolves around it, even as it is merged within it. When present, the sacred fire is the sole object of attention within the inner spaces. And I would note that we are not talking about an energy forcefield that is related specifically with the heart area. The point of most distinct focus is normally the third eye area, or the brow area, or the crown area. And many times, the presence of the sacred fire will fill the entire temple in a very uniform and seamless manner.

     I believe that when the sacred fire is present, it is accomplishing many things. One of the most important things that it is accomplishing is molding the consciousness of the soul, all of the four vehicles without a doubt, into a divine geometry, preparing the soul for the day wherein the Masters will raise the consciousness of the soul into the heart itself. You have heard of the cosmic interval. At the level of the heart, the soul's awareness expands out to embrace the allness of the creation, though in manageable increments according to the mentoring of the sponsoring master. Now, the allness of creation, is the allness of paradise. And so, only the geometry of paradise, can enter into paradise. If the soul is not merged with paradise first, how can the soul enter, then, into the heart? It is impossible. So the soul is acclimated, it is molded, into the patterns of paradise, by the power of the sacred fire, before the great day, when the fabric of consciousness itself can enter into the heart.

     And this is clear as well. The reality of the heart, even the first faint intimations of the cosmic power resident therein, registers upon the awareness of the soul, only when the soul is first immersed within the sacred fire.

     Also, I believe that when the temple is filled with the presence of the sacred fire, there is a corresponding presence of great light, though this, as a general rule, is not seen. It is felt. It is not seen. Again, nurturing the process of assimilation at this stage on the path is more important than overloading the soul with visual phenomena. Nevertheless, this great light can shine, and probably does shine out into the darkness of this world, and can touch many souls with the knowledge of paradise itself. When the presence of the sacred fire is very strong, therefore making the presence of a great light too obvious to overlook, one can ask that light to radiate out great beams to touch all souls on the planet. As long as the sacred fire is obviously here with you, it might as well be accomplishing the greatest possible work for the victory of God's purpose and plan. I wrote a prayer to that end back in 2000, which I included on every page of the Homeward Bound Journal from then on:

"O God, my Beloved Father, my Beloved Mother, I Am That I Am, please allow the sacred fire that you have placed within the fabric of my consciousness to radiate out into the world great beams of light, to bring hope, and the promise of God- Victory, to the hearts of your children in every nation."

     It is clear that the leadership never understood this prayer, never understood the experiential basis of this prayer.

     While the presence of the sacred fire transcends thought, the sacred fire does not control thought. The soul, in the midst of the sacred fire is free to think anything it wants to think. But this is the fundamental point, again related to liberation. The sacred fire frees the mind from the domination of the astral plane, from the influences therein that pull and tug at the mind, all those insidious pressures of the sinister force, all the pressures towards the entertainment of false logic, doubt, confusion, fear, anxiety, these cannot touch the soul when it is immersed in the sacred fire. And so, while this divine power does not impose its own thoughts upon the soul, it will not allow the astral plane to imposes its thoughts on the soul either. Here is a region of true freedom.

     Again, the astral plane, the medium through which aggressive mental suggestion operates, does impose thoughts upon the soul. The sacred fire sets the soul free from this imposition, while refraining from imposing any thoughts of its own.

     If it can be said that the sacred fire "imposes" anything, it would be the sensations associated with paradise, and this upon the higher order feeling world, leaving the soul free to think whatever it wants to think. Though the word "impose" does not really fit in this respect, because the word implies an application of power that is not welcomed by the freewill of the soul. The presence of the sacred fire, let me assure you, is always welcome. In every respect, at every appearance, the sacred fire serves the same function as a cold glass of water would to a man who has been long in the dry and arid desert without water for weeks. Anyone who is dying of thirst, will relish the appearance of the cold water on his lips. It is a hugely wonderful experience. And in this respect, the soul is in the same boat. The sacred fire is the water of life, and the soul was designed to live in the midst of it. Take the soul out of the midst of the sacred fire, and it starts to shrivel up, just like the man in the desert. The very instant that sacred fire touches the tongue, as it were, the soul is instantly refreshed, and will not walk away from it, at least by conscious choice.

     As the soul spends more and more time immersed in the sacred fire, it becomes aware, that where the thoughts go, there the attention goes, and so, and very quickly, the soul figures out what thoughts not to think if the soul desires to stay in the region of the wonderful. A thought towards the astral will find the soul, in the twinkling of an eye within a closed box of oppressive limitation. The contrast is stark. In as much as the sacred fire domain is the place to be, the soul learns where it must keep its attention, if it is to maximize the amount of time that it can remain in that domain. Generally speaking, the domain of gratitude and reverence is always safe ground in this respect. Now it is true, that once within the sacred fire domain, which is always the domain of the wonderful, that no one would consciously choose to leave. But much of our lower identity is composed of habit patterns of thought that go here, or there, or just about anywhere, without our conscious control. It will take time, and practice, to quickly identify, to resist, and to ultimately eliminate these tugs and pulls into non-productive thought patterns.

     If the reader has developed a strong daily decree momentum, and is making steady progress passing tests as they are presented, then this description should sound somewhat familiar. The presence of the power of the sacred fire within the region of our conscious awareness, this is one of the great rewards of the path. And you can understand why this is so, when you understand that the Christ Self, which we are destined to become fused with, is composed of sacred fire only. That's right. This is absolutely true. Fusion with the domain of sacred fire paradise, is synonymous with this great goal of fusing the soul to the Holy Christ Self.

     And so, you can see, that there is nothing to fear in this fusion. Who wouldn't want to be fused with the very fact of paradise? This is really easy to embrace. It takes no effort at all, at least in the sense, that when the sacred fire is with you, you naturally embrace it. Again, just as man who is dying of thirst will embrace that glass of cold water. The soul, and the sacred fire, they are meant to be one. There is a mutual magnetism that draws them together, that is, when the barriers have been removed. And so you relish every moment that you can stay within it. And of course there are higher challenges but they are even more blessed. Within the context of the sacred fire, the Master will reveal elements of the divine identity, that go beyond the field of sacred fire immersion. It is quite a challenge, when it comes to making the effort to return to the contemplation of these jewels. Yet, this is the requirement of fusion as well.

     Now, obedient souls will keep a daily journal to record spiritual experiences. The Masters have asked us to do this, and who will argue with me, that those who do this, are obedient? Yes, those who obey, they are obedient. Those who refuse to a keep a daily journal are those who are not obedient, and willfully so. Their dwellers do not want them to have any spiritual experiences at all, so what is the point of keeping a daily journal? Actually, these are the ones who do not want to surrender those aspects of the not-self, yes the very dweller of which I speak, which is a prerequisite for receiving these spiritual experiences. If that describes you, the first aspect of the not-self that you can defeat right off the bat, is the one the keeps you from keeping a daily journal.

     Now, the most important spiritual experiences we have are these instances in which the Masters send the sacred fire into our temples during our devotional periods. These experiences are so precious, and so much to be cherished, especially because these experience set us free from all inner turmoil, that we would naturally reach for our journal, and record these experience. It is like holding out a cup to catch golden drops of paradise as they fall one by one from the heights of heaven. Keeping a journal is part of the chalice consciousness in this regard. It is part of the process of holding onto the Light that is given. Again, on the front cover of the Keepers of the Flame lessons, there used to be these words, "Hold Fast What Thou Hast Received". As noted before, this has been put on the back cover, and this is no coincidence as I have noted. But, to keep a daily journal, this is an act of obedience, when it comes to fulfilling this admonishment, "Hold Fast What Thou Hast Received".

     A long time ago, I used to take a considerable amount of time describing these sacred fire events wherein the precious substance of the sacred fire descended into my temple, primarily during devotional periods before the Altar. At that time, it was an infrequent occurrence. Once or twice a week at most. Nevertheless, each event was so remarkable, I had to stop and describe the experience in my journal. But over the years, and especially during the last three or four years, these occurrences have become much more frequent, wherein I found I did not have the time to record each experience in depth, but on the other hand, I did not want the record of the event itself to be lost, in as much as these are the most precious events in my life, and one of the greatest sins would be to take these events for granted, which would be tantamount to being ungrateful, so I decided on a shorthand way of making these recordings in my journal. I decided to use a sun, that is smiling. I think that is fitting.

     Each place in my journal where a smiling sun is recorded, this marks the descent of a liberating divine power of the sacred fire into my temple, which is the very energy substance of paradise. This is what the sacred fire is in its essence. It is paradise. This power of paradise is the power of freedom, as I have already noted above, which sweeps away all that is less than perfect peace. Did you know that there are many many many different kinds of peace? There are. Each one has an absolutely unique quality to it. It's amazing.

     Now, each recorded event marks a conscious decision on the part of the sponsoring Master, who works directly with God our Father and Mother, to bring this power into manifestation within my temple at a particular point. This is actually the power of God our Father and Mother made manifest right within the very fabric of my soul. But, the Master's own presence is what allows this power to descend into the temple, in a manner that is perfectly calibrated to the need of the hour. Each recorded event, then, marks a coordinate in time and space, where the treasure of heaven has descended, and which has, speaking of purpose, specifically washed away a pre-existing condition of human limitation, or swamp consciousness. Being embedded in a swamp consciousness is no fun at all, and so, when we get set free from that, and we are raised into the domain of the wonderful, in the twinkling of an eye, these are the points that inspire us to record these experiences in our journals.

     I would like the reader to ponder deeply the role of the Master in bringing forth the manifestation of the sacred fire into the temple. Remember that when we experience the sacred fire, that we experience it as merged, or fused into the fabric of our consciousness. It is not like we are perceiving an object that is afar off, or even an object that is close by. No. This power is resident within the fabric of our own awareness. It could not be any closer. And so, given the fact that the Master's consciousness lowers this power into our own consciousness, maintaining the perfect calibration, in regards to intensity, and quality, then we must conclude, though this is completely transparent to our awareness, that the Master is right there, merged with us as well. Again, this is completely transparent to the awareness. We only know that this is true, by applying our reasoning faculties and knowledge of higher principles to the situation, and of course, the Teaching is the source of the knowledge of these higher principles. The Master merges with the student, to bring the student up, and into an awareness of the higher realities.

     I only point this out to underscore the importance of obeying the Teaching itself. You see, the Master is in the Teaching, first and foremost. These principles, that the Masters require us to anchor, and to assimilate, are actually the electrodes by which he can anchor his presence in our temple, for the purpose of this merging and lifting action. If we do not anchor those principles, the Master cannot enter in, to merge with our soul, for the purpose of lifting us up.

     And from this you can see the great deception that rebels are foisting on the minds of the people in this organization. They say they can keep their rebellion, but at the same time remain students on the path. This is impossible. Church Manager Linda Worobec is the most prominent proponent of this lie. But all the members of the leadership are complicit in the spreading of this lie throughout the organization. The Master will not enter in, to merge himself with the dweller of pride, to lift that pride bound soul up. It will never happen. The path requires that the soul surrender its pride. The soul must anchor within its consciousness a spirit of contrition, and repentance, whenever it has been caught with its hand in the cookie jar, in this respect. We are back to admitting mistakes, showing contrition, doing penance. These are signs that pride has been surrendered. But they are not just signs. They are modalities of awareness, like unto the locking mechanisms that allow spacecraft to join, and they must be present for the Master to enter in, if he or she is to merge with that soul, for the purpose of lifting that soul up.

     Of course, those students who could conceive of being so rebellious, knowing the Teaching on who the Beatles are, and yet to plan a performance with a Beatles tune, and to actually perform that Beatles tune on the Altar of the Holy Grail, that student has not even anchored the minimum components of the law that would allow the Master to enter the temple. Notwithstanding all outer appearances, that student, and the Master, have parted company long ago. I am again speaking of Church Manager Rev. Linda Worobec. That soul has forged new alliances, as I have noted above.

     When it comes to breaking laws, you can discern the extent of the state of mis-alignment that exists within by measuring the dimensions of the law they have broken without, in terms of the law's depth and breadth. In the world of manmade laws, there is difference between jay walking and armed robbery for example. The laws that these individuals are breaking, are so fundamental, that you can readily conclude that the condition of misalignment is so grotesque, as to totally bar the entry of the Master into their temples for the purpose of raising them up.

     The refusal to apply due process safeguards to the exercise of institutional power in this organization is at that same fundamental level. Those who stand steadfastly against the application of the resolution process in the Russia situation, and in my situation, and in the situation of Eva Baumann as another example, these individuals are in state of grotesque rebellion, and how did they get that way? At a particular point on the path, when the grace period comes to an end, they were required to start the process of surrendering pride. They refused, and the Master had to withdraw from them, and their worlds became ever more dark, they became ever more dweller-fused, and they became ever more vulnerable to manipulation by the false hierarchy as a result.

     Here is another point of analysis, that can communicate to those who are observant, the truth, that those who retain pride, who will not admit their mistakes, who will not assimilate the spirit of contrition and penance, these souls do not know the experience of the sacred fire. They know it not. And they should be pitied for their foolishness, for they cling to the hand that leads them into the abyss of self-destruction.

     Though I will admit of the presence of a factor of significant confusion in the minds of these individuals. It is the principle that has to do with the sun shining on both the just and unjust. In a given group decree service, you will have a large number of sincere souls, who are firmly anchored on the path, and the calls of these souls bring forth a response from the Master. The electronic presence of the Master is merged with these souls, and these souls are lifted into the domain of the sacred fire. And their auras are bright with the very light that has delivered this sacred fire, or perhaps it is the other way around. The sacred fire comes first, and the light radiates from the sacred fire. Whatever. Their auras are very bright, and they are radiating light, and they are as the sun in the heavens, and their light will fall on both the just and the unjust. And Church Manager Linda Worobec, being amidst this great Light, and others in leadership who are totally dark inside, will feel the warmth of the sun on their skin of their four lower bodies, and it feels good, no doubt about it, and she can say, look, I have a tan too. But it is only skin deep. But nevertheless, in her pride, in her delusions of self-righteousness, this association with those who have light, only reinforces those delusions, making the dweller of pride more and more powerful, and more and more stubborn.

     There is only one true sign of the presence of the light, at levels below the skin. It is humility. It is the capacity to admit a mistake, express a genuine spirit of contrition, show a willingness to perform a penance, and to face the consequences associated with that mistake, whatever they may be. We do not see this from any member of the Board of Directors, we do not see this from the Church Co-Presidents, and we do not see this from the Church Manager. If they protest, and say they have it, they must prove it, on the doorstep of August 29, 2003. We say, show forth your Light! We demand it! And this is the only way to do it.

     Of course, we must consider this fact, that even as the student is successfully surrendering the dweller, and assimilating the law, and receiving the Master's intercession and mentorship, and even serving productively and constructively, in terms of their purposes and plans, that the electronic belt is still cram packed with patterns of untransmuted rebellion. Now, this should not be any problem for those who have developed a momentum of surrender and sacred fire immersion on the path, because these untransmuted patterns of rebellion come up for transmutation only incrementally, and the soul is never faced with a test that is beyond its current capacity to pass, that is, if it will only summon all of its resources in the effort. Some tests, emerging out of the electronic belt require this Herculean effort, some are easier, and some take no effort at all, going into the flame completely at the beginning of the day with the morning calls. But there is always the possibility for the soul to make a mistake, taking the counsel of the dweller as real, and in the outpicturing of that destructive intent, do some significant damage. No problem for the humble soul. Admit the mistake. Express the contrition you feel. Do your penance. Make amends. And then move forward on the path with the greater confidence you will have as the result of the many additional rewards the Masters have heaped upon you for your right choice. It is always so. You could see your mistake, you had a genuine desire to be forgiven, you accepted and performed your penance, and you know you were forgiven. And you know you are far less likely to make that mistake again, and that makes you a more stable and useful servant on the path.

     But, for those who stumble, and don't get up, it is possible that all that had gone before, could be turned to darkness in a twinkling of any eye. And this could be the story of many who might have been useful students prior to the coming of the infamy of Church Manager Linda Worobec, but who have allowed all of their light to be turned to darkness when confronted with the choice to challenge her, or to humor her. In humoring her, they made the wrong choice. They listened to the dweller of compromise, bowed down before it, and thereby offered unto this dweller the ankles of their own Christ Identity, upon which it clasped its shackles and chains. That spirit of compromise now rules everything they do, it is a new way of life for them, the old way past out of their memory like a flame in a lantern gone out for want of oil. The lantern is still there, but the flame is not. Such a soul cannot rise, until those chains are removed. And that means, while these souls might have known the presence of the sacred fire prior to this event, perhaps even on a daily basis, will know it no more. They live on a memory at best, and the common sunshine perhaps, but they are all sliding downhill into a greater and greater darkness.

     I believe that every member of the Board of Directors is in this sinking boat. Perhaps for some of them, perhaps for all of them, that boat used to ride high on the surface of a wide blue ocean. But it has long ago sunk under the surface of the astral sea, and is gliding steadily to the bottom. They live in fear today, and fear is how you describe the taste of the astral ocean. Physical oceans have a taste, very unique, salty and with other innumerable factors. And so it is with the astral ocean. The salt element has been replaced by fear. Fear is the primary characteristic now. And if they deny it, ask them why they did not implement the resolution process in Ketino's case. Ask them why they did not implement the resolution process in my case. It is because they feared implementing it, and they will not deny it. Certainly if they loved implementing it, it would have already been implemented. What you love, you embrace. What you fear and hate you push away. What have they embraced? What have they pushed away? It is clear enough.

     And so, fear by definition is astral. And astral is darkness, and torment. And because of it, because they have chosen to cling to it, they have set themselves outside of the Master's mentorship. And because the Masters can no longer enter in to lift them up, they are no longer receiving the experiences of the sacred fire that would wash away that fear. I hope these words penetrate to their hearts. They know these words are true.

     Elizabeth Clare Prophet was a good solid servant of the Masters for many many years. And if anyone deserved mercy, even as part of her life was tenaciously gripped by a self-destructive error, it was her. She deserved mercy, and the Masters extended it to her, to hold back the outworking of the law when it came to pass that she made a horrendous mistake in 1993. Though I think we have the testimony already, that the law was already beginning to bear down on her, and to narrow her own range of possibilities, from that point on. By 1996, the pressure of the law was so substantial, that circumstances required her to withdraw from the presidency of the organization. Under this great pressure, this was still in 1996, she was given the opportunity to reverse the mistake. She refused. And the outpicturing of the law accelerated from that point, to where she was forced to retire in 1998. The Masters set the law down upon her slowly, mitigating the pain as much as possible, and provided her with a soft landing zone, but the ultimate outcome was clear. The opportunity to serve and accelerate on the path, which she had willfully and without remorse denied to another soul, without basis, representing a wanton and callous act of injustice, had fallen down upon her own head, denying her the opportunity of finishing all of the precious projects that had so recently populated her hopes and dreams.

     In 1993, when she committed this mistake, she was looking forward to at least another 25 years of productive service. She had countless projects of great interest to fill those years. She looked forward with the sincere hope of realizing the most profound satisfaction, and the most grand personal fulfillment in her remaining years of service. But in just five years, her physical condition had deteriorated to such an extent, that she could no longer function, and she had to retire. And now her existence is as empty of productive activity, as that state of emptiness she imposed upon her victim, i.e. in terms of the Master's work. She denied her victim the opportunity to fulfill a divine mission. Now she resides in emptiness, not able to lift a finger in the fulfillment of her own. A cruel judgment? It is what exists today, a condition she brought upon her own head.

     The leadership should pay attention. Everyone should pay attention. When you exercise institutional power, you must do so justly, or the injustice you heap upon the head of another, will fall on your own head. The outworking of the law cannot be escaped.

     Well, that is not the end of this particular story to be sure. But, let us now pick up the thread of sacred fire anew.

     Surely, the sacred fire lingers with us after the initial descent, and it will ebb and flow, largely in step I think with the focus of our attention. The more clearly and doggedly we can lock our attention on divine reality, focusing on holding a posture of gratitude unto God for example, the more likely it is that the presence of the sacred fire will stay with us for extended periods of time.

     Now, I want to underscore this great truth. Each smiling sun that I have recorded in my journal, records a point in time and space, wherein a great power of the sacred fire descended into my temple, and washed away, as noted, a pre- existing state of consciousness that was mired to one degree or another, in the realm of human oppression. And each one of these events is recorded in the akashic record. This is the important point. Each one of these events is recorded in the akashic record. There are very precise coordinates associated with each recorded sun in this regard. And therefore, it is important to understand, that these are not simply baseless assertions or scribblings on my part. These are the footprints that the Masters have charged us to leave on the trail for others to follow.

     For the purpose of this evaluation, the student can ask the Master to set him, or her, in the midst of that akashic record, to experience the descent of that sacred fire for themselves, or some portion of it. I ask the reader to make that call. And as you experience this sacred fire, you will come to understand, that you have had this experience yourself at the Altar, it will be immediately evident, as to what it is. It is the greatest treasure given by the Master to those who are passing their tests.

     And when you finally understand that a person who is receiving the great rewards of the path, because that person is passing his tests, and is making the effort to be in alignment with the law, when you finally understand that that person is actually hated by the church leadership, to the extent that they feel they must excommunicate that individual, you will finally realize how far afield these individuals are, from serving the purposes of the Masters.

     Here is a person whose example can be safely followed into the brilliance of the Light, into a posture of success on the path, so let us quickly move to excommunicate him. Let us quickly move to destroy his credibility among the members generally. Let us quickly make leprosy appear all over his body, so that people will shun him, rather than embrace him. This is not the logic of the Christ.

     Now, is this exposition supposed to make the leadership feel even happier with me? That would be impossible. They have long ago refused to surrender their dwellers, and long ago made the necessary adjustments to their lives, having been cut off from the rewards of the path, they now get their rewards from acquiring positions of power, of status, and from the sensations of power associated with the exercise of control over the membership. They are the mighty generals on which the salvation of the planet depends. The Masters are now only distant abstractions in their darkened minds. They have made their decisions already, and the great momentum of self-justification they harbor, will now come to the defense of those decisions, forever and forever. These individuals will not be converted to the truth.

     I set this evidence before the community so that the members can get a better understanding of exactly who it is that is leading this organization. They are not Lightbearers. If they are not Lightbearerers, how can they lead the membership into a greater Light? It is impossible.

     It is important to comprehend this truth. The members of the current leadership do not experience the descent of the sacred fire into their own temples. This is a completely unknown phenomena to them. Those of you who are true students should think about this very seriously. Think about the times you go before your altar, and what you invariably face there is a thick opaque wall of opposition. When you face that wall, there is clearly no way through it. And the wall seems to speak to you, and it says, go away. It says, I am impenetrable. Don't waste your time with me. Why don't you go watch some TV? And sometimes it takes a great force of will to simply stand your ground and continue with your calls. And by and by, the Masters release the sacred fire into your world, and that wall disappears, and you are free from its oppressive falsehoods, you are free from its illusion of impenetrability, you are free from its grating pressure to drive you out of the sanctuary, and your consciousness now is merged into a paradise region, and there is only a presence there that you cherish, and you are amazed, and you think again how cherished it is that you have this opportunity to serve at the Altar, and how this opportunity is your saving grace.

     If you are a student on the path, you should know about this. You should know about facing this resistance every day, and you should be familiar with the experience of moving through that resistance by the power of the sacred fire that is released into your world by the Masters (in answer to your calls).

     Now, here is the point. When these individuals in leadership go before the altar, they face that wall, just like you and me. But this is the truth. They will make their calls, but the Masters DO NOT release the sacred fire that dissolves those walls. Why? Because they have not previously surrendered their dwellers. The wall we face, is the very substance of the dweller. That's what it is. When we pass a test, and we surrender our unreality in the course of that test, that choice is what allows the Masters to release the sacred fire to dissolve those walls. Those who do not pass their tests, who do not surrender their dwellers, the walls they face as they try to do their decree work, those walls do not dissolve. And to them therefore, decree services are a burden from the beginning to the ending. They never break through. It's hard work, from first to last. They don't have the experience, as described, that incrementally increases their gratitude for the sacred fire itself, for the path, and the Masters who make this experience possible. They don't have that. This is a totally unknown phenomena to them. That is why they will allow a Beatles tune to be played on the Altar of the Holy Grail, and think that it is no big deal. That is why they say no harm, no foul. They don't have the inner experiences that would tell them why it is a big deal. They don't have a clue.

     And so, in their pride, which resonates at the level of their dweller, and the astral plane, the course they chart is a product of astral influences only. Sure, just like the priests in the Catholic Church, they know the teaching, or enough of it to get by, and the clickity-clack of their computer brains process directional equations from the standpoint of a towering self-righteousness. I.e. the rightheousnss of the mortal and death- destined human ego draped all over with the robes of priesthood. What do I need to do today so I can look like, and feel like a priest in the eyes of other people? A word of sympathy here, a word of sympathy there. Gee, what a good and righteous person I am. A little compromise here, a little compromise there, the antidote to fanaticism itself. It's sweet like candy. And by the way, let all the peons kiss my feet. Which is to say, worship my ideas, even when they are completely out of step with the Teachings. I am in charge after all. Let obedience (to me) be the sign of spiritual attainment.

     And therefore, where do they lead the membership? They lead the membership into those same compartments of consciousness wherein they reside, and these are compartments of rebellion made cozy by many pillows of false hope. Like, we can refuse to get with the program, but somehow, someway, someone will come to save us. Yes, we have faith. And it comes to pass, that this condition is spread abroad throughout the membership. And so, not only must the Master's stand aside when it comes to the leadership, holding back the release of the sacred fire, they must stand aside for the great swathes of the membership as well, holding back the release of the sacred fire to them as well. They will not dissolve those walls for them either. When the soul has chosen by freewill to enter into a compartment of rebellion, the Master cannot dissolve the compartment, and set the soul free from it.

     What is the path to freedom for these individuals? It is in realization. The soul must realize, within the domain of the conscious mind, the extent of the error it has made, and it must release that error through the domain of the conscious mind. This is called passing tests. When tests are passed, this is a signal that the teaching is being assimilated. In this case, this allows the Masters to release the sacred fire that will not only set the soul free from its dweller substance day by day, but release the sacred fire that will buoy the soul up by ever increasing treasures unto the reality of its own Christ Identity. This describes what the leadership has refused to do, and which they know nothing about.

     I have set upon the table, the possibility, that some in leadership might have known about the real experiences of the path at one time. But I am familiar with the subject of memory. It is very difficult for the status quo consciousness to remember the experience of the sacred fire when those experiences are occurring every day. If these experiences are months into the past, as it must be for these individuals, there is no hope of remembering at all. It is as if they had never occurred. Their consciousness is filled only with the sensations of inertia now. Look at Sean Prophet. He knew these experiences. But he is completely and totally disconnected from those memories today. So sad. And perhaps he never really comprehended what they were at time, for it was written of old, that the light shone in the darkness and the darkness comprehended it not. This is true for most everyone for some time on the path. Doubts, like a school of so many pirana, chews up the soul's capacity to appreciate what the Masters give to the soul. Doubt takes time to defeat.

     And so, this is quite accurately, then, the beginning and the ending of the whole situation with Church Manager Rev. Linda Worobec, and her desecration of the Altar of the Holy Grail on July 4, 2003. This was a point of exposure that simply provided us with the information, and very useful information at that, that we have people in leadership who know nothing at all about walking a genuine Path of Initiation. This has far reaching consequences, if you would stop and think about it for a few moments. Those who are genuine students, who experience the sacred fire, and have a genuine love for the Masters, the Light they carry offends these individuals. That's right. When they confront a genuine student, the hair stands up on the back of their necks, and they are uncomfortable from the first. This is why they had it in for Ketino. They couldn't stand her. The Light in her offended them to a frenzy, and at the very first excuse, they called in their field goal kicker, and over the goal posts she went, three points.

     And so, we have before us here, in the excommunication of my soul from this church, another opportunity for exposure. Again, the leadership has made their judgment concerning me. You have read that judgment in the letter I have set before you. Though we have a couple more paragraphs to go. But at this point, I want to show you, that I have evidence that proves, that at the very same time that this totally false judgment was taking form within the minds of the leadership, that the Masters themselves were rendering a totally opposite judgment.

     When you grasp the full implications of this evidence, you will understand that it points to the presence of a very strong momentum of darkness, rebellion and stubbornness, within the very fabric of the minds of the Board of Directors, and the Co-Presidents, and the Church Manager to name the most obvious focal points.

     I ask the reader to lock into the great treasure represented by each recorded sun included in these journal scans, ninety-one (91) recorded smiling suns during this 35 day period alone, and add that all up, to produce a conclusion, that here truly is a soul who is doing the Master's work, a soul who is being rewarded for that work, a soul whose example can be safely followed, in terms of speaking the truth, standing one's ground, not bending down before any compromise of the law and the Teaching, and demanding accountability by the leadership thereto.

     Truly this information will show that this soul can be appreciated as a steadfast friend of truth. But, and quite paradoxically, from the perspective of the current leadership, this soul is a speaker of lies, and worse, whom they have judged worthy of excommunication. Who has delivered the more accurate judgment? Is it God and the Masters? Or is it the current leadership? This is what the membership of this church must decide.

     I apologize for my handwriting, if you can call it that. I am a scribbler, always in a hurry. I want the words to appear on paper as fast as I can type them. I can write that fast, but as you can see, not entirely legibly. I will offer clarifications as necessary. Before we begin looking at this body of evidence, here are some of the more common abbreviations that you will find:

1. O.S. - Opening Statement - always done in a group of three.
2. H.M. - Hail Marys, according to the wording of our church.
3. @ - "at" sign.
4. v.f. - violet flame.
5. s.f. - Sacred Fire.
6. TOL - Tube of Light

     Please be patient and wait for the down load of the evidence package to complete. There are nearly 140 scanned images, presented in an orderly manner of course, but it will take time to download. The total amount of data to be downloaded is about 3.3 megabytes. When the reader considers the choice that lays before him, or her, as the case might be, to sign up for DSL, or not, I hope you will see that herein is another way to look at the Master's admonishment to come up higher. The above explanatory text appears at the top of this document.

Documentary Proof of the Descent of the Judgment of God Upon this Soul: Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant - Click Here.

     Now, in regards to the last item in Paragraph No. 4, in regards to the assertion that I no longer desire to be a part of this organization, this is another falsehood. Look at the treasures that the Masters have given me. My gratitude is so immense, that the only possible path for me, is here, within this organization, doing everything possible to make sure that the mission of the Ascended Masters is fulfilled in the most victorious manner possible. I am amazed that someone would write down such an obvious falsehood, so easily refuted. Everything that I write, bears witness to my interest in the victory of this organization.

     Of course it is true, that if the false judgment of this leadership stands, I will paddle my little rowboat alongside of the Mother Ship until a new leadership comes to the fore, who has a greater appreciation for the Light, a greater appreciation for the truth. And of course, there will be certain circumstances that unfold in the lives of the current leadership, that will help those future leaders make the right decision. My elbow is lightly and playfully poking into the ribs of Lois Drake as I say that. She can not be so dense as to not get the message.

"Because of those actions you are hereby removed from your status as a Keeper of the Flame. You may not attend services or any events sponsored by this organization. You may not order books, tapes, CDs or participate in our Internet Broadcast in any way."

     Here we get down to brass tacks. Based on all of these vague generalizations, which the reader can safely assume are all false, they have decided to totally and completely cut me off from any further contact with this organization. Remember, the author of this letter only set forth one specific allegation, in paragraph 2, and that proved to be false. Given the fact that she would try to lead with her most powerful argument, what is there that could possibly remain in her quiver that could validate all of these additional vague and emotional assertions? Nothing. And of course, you know what this means, when it comes to associating with other members. This is the kiss of death for me, when it comes to participating in this community. I now have a case of leprosy as noted above. The lotion of ostracization squirted out and rubbed all over my body out of this little squeeze bottle of tyranny and injustice. That's the idea. And it is a kiss of death for the institution of a free press in this community as well. Clearly, the leadership is sending the message that those who dare to challenge them will lose everything they hold dear. Look at that list of what I can no longer participate in. That has the flavor of totalitarianism. What's the point of denying me access to books? Is there something there they are trying to hide? I wouldn't be surprised.

"We deeply regret that you have chosen not to benefit from the second opportunity extended to you to learn the lessons of upholding your vows in honor, integrity and truth."

     Excuse me while I throw up.

     This is really an amazing character slam. The central vow of a Keeper of the Flame, is to stand for truth, regardless of the costs. I have done this in all honor. I have done this in all integrity. And I have done this with a genuine love, devotion, and a high level of cherishment for the truth itself. Of course, the evidence I have set forth shows clearly, that the judgment of God concerning this soul, is exactly the opposite. I am not the one that is having trouble learning lessons.

     Now, I want to say that my relationship to the Light at the Altar, is no sign that I am 100% perfect in all of my conclusions and opinions. I happen to cherish a statement made by the Master El Morya, when he spoke to the people in the room at the time, and this was during Mark Prophet's reign, that everyone in that room, which I assume included the Messenger himself, in as much as he a member of the set of people referred to as "everyone" , harbored misconceptions. That's right, everyone in that room harbored misconceptions. And so, while I was not in the room at the time, I think it wise to make believe as if I were in that room. And so, I always stand ready to receive communications regarding errors or mistakes that people see in my writing. But, I will not melt into a puddle of self-doubt at the end of someone's sword of contempt. I will stand my ground, but at the same time field all reasonable objections. I have always judiciously sifted the words of all communications in my little gold pan, looking carefully in there for anything that glitters. Let me assure everyone, that I stand ready, with a genuine willingness, to retract any error, once that error has been brought to my attention. So far, no-one has brought a valid challenge to my doorstep. Not one. Lot's of huffing and puffing to be sure. Lot's of character slams to be sure. Lot's of hate speech to be sure. But not a single valid challenge thus far. Until a reasonable case can be made that I have erred in any specific and particular area, I must stand by my work.

     And of course, the reader has been given the introduction to this above.

     In the summer of 1993, I received a letter in the mail which communicated to me that I was being totally excommunicated from this church. And guess what. No reason was given. And obviously no due process procedures were even considered. I spent nearly a year just pleading for the leadership to reveal the reason. And, I might add, I spent a lot of that time arguing for the implementation of due process procedures.

     And I would like to think that my pleadings in this regard had something to do with the leadership finally paying some lip service to these principles, as early as 1996. This was quite plausible, seeing that it was Mr. Clairbaut, and not Elizabeth Clare Prophet who delivered all of those fancy words to the community, delineating principles of pure gold, that were totally ignored in my situation.

     But, in regards to my pleadings for the reason to be revealed, finally, the reason was revealed. I believe it was about 11 months later, way into 1994, when a minister finally took pen to paper to respond. They didn't like one letter I had written to Erin Prophet. One letter.

     Erin Prophet needs to step forward now, and put the truth onto the record, and admit that my letter to her contained nothing but the truth. Of course I had to challenge a falsehood Erin spoke right to my face. But beyond that, the only thing in that letter was an admonishment to deal with the substance of rebellion on the 1/7/4/10 axis of the clock, which she had expressed, again, right to my face. Well, it was personal. It wasn't like this was a mass mailing. I am the only person in the world that received that letter, that is for sure. It arrived in my mailbox. It was addressed to me personally. It was impossible not to have challenged her.

     But this is the truth. To excommunicate someone for telling Erin Prophet the truth, well, that was clearly a mistake, one that the Messenger is paying for today. Like I said in the introduction above. Rob opportunity from one person, trampling all over due process principles, trampling all over principles of fairness and justice, and you will rob opportunity from yourself.

     Erin should understand these principles, having co-authored the book on karma and reincarnation. And I stress the karma side of the equation, as a truly pray, much more deeply than anyone can imagine, that Erin not have to return for another incarnation on this planet. Karma says, what you do to another, comes back on your own head. Many years of opportunity, seven all together, were taken away from me, for what? For telling the truth. And so, all of a sudden, the Messenger isn't looking at many years of additional service to this organization. All of sudden her opportunity to serve is dramatically cut short, and in a way that has everyone wondering, what in the world did she do, that the Masters will not step in and set her free? It is karma. Billy Graham was given more years of opportunity that the very messenger of the Great White Brotherhood. Why? To whom much is given, much is expected. She has a karmic burden that is being carried now, rather than later, and Erin as well, because she is sharing that burden in such a painful way. I believe Erin could take a large burden off of her mother's shoulders in this regard, and her own, if she would just admit to the truth in this situation.

     Of course it is true, that there is more history behind that one letter. But you go back into the past, and you will discover a theme. Steven was speaking the truth all along. And I am speaking to Erin here, more than anyone else. When he speaks the truth, he doesn't mince words. Puts it right there on the table. Doesn't worry, nor does he care how people will react. What needs to be said, will be said.

     Allowances must be made for the refinement of consciousness along the way of course. I am speaking of refinement processes that were ongoing, and not necessarily fully manifest at any particular point in time, including the present moment.

     Now, I never stopped asking for justice. The requests for justice came more infrequently to be sure, but I never lost hope, I never even thought of abandoning this church. My last request for justice, under the reign of Elizabeth Clare Prophet, was addressed to the new church President in 1997. Elizabeth Clare Prophet squashed it, as noted above, which accelerated the descent of the law. As she dug in her heels more firmly, this time refusing to even acknowledge the relevance of the organization's newly stated commitment to due process, the opportunity to serve which she was determined to deny to me, began to be denied to her in an accelerated manner. History records this. Yes, I paddled alongside the Mother Ship, faithfully so, until a new leadership team was in place in the year 2000, and I made my case, not admitting to any wrong doing in regards to my letter to Erin Prophet, but pointing out the huge mistake the Messenger made, along with the Board of Directors of that day, for excommunicating a person from this church over a difference of opinion with the Messenger's daughter. The letter was totally civilized after all. Clearly, in hindsight, that was one of the most foolish misuses of institutional power. And very quickly, the new leadership agreed, and reinstated my membership in the Keepers of the Flame Fraternity.

     Is it true therefore, that I was given a "first chance" which I supposedly blew in 1993, and I was given a second chance in 2000, and which I have supposedly blown again? This is a false, and upside down allegation. Speaking the truth is never wrong, not then, not now. The people who are getting their chances, and who are blowing their chances, are those who are being tested regarding their use of institutional power. Can they stand to have a truth told to them that they find repugnant? Can they control the offence of their 3/9 dwellers long enough to allow the procedures of due process to play themselves out? Through the thick black smoke of this 3/9 dweller, can they sense the danger that has appeared on the horizon for them, danger with their name on it, as they sway with the temptation to misuse power outside of the context of the law? The Messenger and every member of the Board of Directors failed that test in 1993. And now, in 2004, a new Board of Directors, and two church Co-Presidents are failing that same test, all over again.

     This is the truth. That 1993 excommunication is no more lawful and just, than the one currently contemplated. And the consequences associated with the unjust denial of opportunity, will be met again with a predictable karmic return. In the messenger's case, it took five years, 1993 to the end of 1998, wherein she finally had to conclude that the window of opportunity for her was closing fast, leaving her with only the option of retirement. All the books she would have written, all of the lectures given, all of the services she could have led in the next 25 years, all of that was now gone. Totally gone.

     And what legacy does she leave the world, but a Teaching that leaves its most prominent advocate imprisoned in the forgetfulness of Alzheimer disease. This is not a positive marketing element for this movement.

     The current crop of leaders needs to look at this reality, and they ought to embrace due process procedures as an expression of the mercy of God himself, that would save them from making equally egregious errors, that will have equally egregious consequences for them. But the mistake has already been made. If there are any genuine lightbearers left at headquarters, the burden of right action is upon their shoulders now.

     In hindsight, I can see that these events were not without a purpose in my life. I have been totally stripped of my idolatry. And that is a very good thing. Idolatry is death. Idolatry equates to the death of opportunity. Almost 20 years ago, I lost a great treasure because I believed that the Messenger could do no wrong. I found out different. My nose has been cruelly rubbed in this uncomfortable truth, that the Messenger is capable of making very serious mistakes, and those mistakes must be identified, and reversed. On the other hand, the reader can see from the documentary evidence that I have provided, that my gratitude for this Teaching is boundless, and grows more so every day, and because of that, God our Father, and the Masters will never allow me to lose faith in the value of the Path of Initiation, which the Teaching (delivered by Elizabeth Clare Prophet) describes. You see, eternal gratitude to Elizabeth Clare Prophet is part of my soul, even as my dedication to exposing her errors, for the purpose of reversing them, is immutable. That is a right and proper balance.

     The reader can see clearly, from this documentary evidence, that the great treasures of heaven descend into the temple of those who hold this proper and appropriate balance. The treasures of heaven do not descend into the temple of those who allow mistakes and errors to live on, simply for the sake of maintaining an illusion of perfection around a particular idol.

     Can divine treasures of old be resurrected today? Clearly, this is what the Path is all about. So I would say, that under conditions of perfect balance, and under the mentorship of many radiant hearts, this appears to be possible yet.

     Yet, what are opportunities, but choices in the present?

     To sum up, in the context of our current subject, I would say that I totally reject everything in the letter written to me by Church President Lois Drake, not simply because of the totality of falsehood it contains, but perhaps most importantly, because it represents a grotesque misuse of institutional power. As I have said, I have seen this before. It is important to denounce falsehood at every opportunity. But it is also very important to take a stand for the right and proper use of institutional power in the organization. In this respect, as I have noted, the leadership is supposedly committed, according to a document they themselves distribute, to implementing the resolution process described in that very document. Those due process procedures are the only barrier we have against the grotesque misuse of institutional power. But, this is what they have done. They have willfully swept that essential guardrail off the highway, allowing the lead vehicles to plunge into the canyon of irresponsibility pulling the whole caravan of the organization along with them. In refusing to implement that resolution process they have added yet another item to the growing litany of arrogant usurpations of the members trust and faith. This letter by Lois Drake represents all that and more. All conclusions communicated in that letter are built upon that corrupt and indefensible foundation, which was that a priori refusal to implement the prescribed resolution process. Therefore, all judgments contained therein are null and void.

     If we had a higher court to appeal to, their judgment would follow along these very lines.

     I will file a counter-complaint with the Board of Directors, pointing to this fatal deficiency in their deliberations in my case, which is grounds, all by itself, for the retraction of this judgment, for it is illegal and indefensible.

     In response, I have set before the community the documentary proof which shows clearly, and indisputably, that the Masters have communicated a judgment that goes in a completely opposite direction. In their release of the sacred fire into my temple, they say, "well done, thou good and faithful servant." This fact invalidates, now, and for all time, the false judgment of the Board of Directors.

     Moreover, it is beyond all reasonable doubt or any degree of contention, that the Masters would ever release that kind of power, described in that documentation, into the world of anyone who is guilty of the things alleged by Lois Drake. It is just impossible. Given the fact that they have released that sacred fire into this temple, this fact again invalidates, now, and for all time, the false judgment of Lois Drake delivered on behalf of the Board of Directors.

     The judgment of the Masters is the righteous judgment. The judgment of the Board of Directors is the false judgment. I stand with the Masters in their righteous judgment, placing the false judgment forever beneath my feet, now and forever.

     It is my sincere hope that the community will stand with us, in the very midst of this righteous judgment, sharing in our mutual desire to see the corruptions in the leadership stop, and the principle of accountability finally raised up in the midst thereof, as a banner of victory.

     The principles of honor and integrity will require many resignations. Perhaps a difficult and tumultuous time is ahead as souls choose this day whom they will serve. And so, from this day forward, I say, let a fresh breeze blow now over the land of the Royal Teton Ranch, and through the halls of power there. And let the dead leaves accumulate in their respective piles, to be swept up, and taken to the furnace for disposal.

     If anyone wants to know where they can find me from now on, look over the railing of the Mother Ship, and there you will see me, rowing my little row boat, even around in circles, but without too much strain, for it doesn't take much effort to keep up with a ship whose sails hang limp, which is, by the Grace of God becalmed. The wind has stopped, completely, and the ship moves only with the current, giving us much more time for the loyal crew to retake the ship before it can be steered onto the rocks by this corrupt and blind leadership.

     The above letter notifying this editor that he has been ejected from the Keepers of the Flame Fraternity, was written by Church President Lois Drake. There is an important thing to remember about Lois Drake, that must be part of the reader's evaluation of her letter.

     Before she was chosen to be a co-president of this church, she had business dealings with Communist China. She was challenged on that issue very soon after her selection was announced. Because of the controversy, she assured our members that she would sever all ties to those business activities while she served as a church co-president. And this was good enough for many, myself included. Though in hindsight, we can say that here indeed is a mistake that we can all learn from. How easily we can be tempted by soothing words to abandon the line of battle. Never again.

     This is the truth that we must focus on now. She never admitted that she had done anything wrong in trading with the Communist Chinese. It is surprising in retrospect, that we would accept this, given the fact that the Masters had made it clear, that transferring America's wealth into the Communist Beast was wrong. And so, being that there was no admission of a mistake, there was no apology. And that means the mindset, the psychology, yes the dweller on the threshold, that drew her into an economic communion with the forces of darkness then, still exists and operates at the surface of her conscious mind now.

     This explains much about how she could feel comfortable in the selection of a church manager, in Rev. Linda Worobec, who would have the audacity to perform a Beatles song on the Altar of the Holy Grail.

     This explains much about how she felt a certain kinship with this rebellion, and a certain distaste when it comes to challenging it.

     This explains much in relationship to her role in the destruction of the Unity of the Russian Congregation, and the destruction of a successful Ascended Master publishing operation there. This smells so much like the claw of revenge, attached to the long arm of the Communist Beast, acting against the newly established forces of freedom there, by an avenue few would have predicted, and fewer were prepared for.

     This explains much in relationship to her role in appointing a former member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, one Olga Perminova, as the interim President of the Moscow Study Group.

     This explains much in relationship to her role in pressing Church Vice President Jon Springer to squash the investigation regarding the Communist Party ties of Olga Perminova.

     So much destruction has been accomplished under the watchful eye of co-president Lois Drake. Because of the destruction of cohesion of the Ascended Master activity in Russia today, that nation is again moving at an accelerated rate towards the establishment of a totalitarian form of government. There are no viable opposition parties. Freedom of the press, while it appeared for short while, it is again disappearing. That is the legacy of her leadership.

     We should have recognized the danger signs when she was first selected. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Yet, we did not see those words, let alone heed them. On the website of her company, which was called Optima International, she flew the Chinese Communist flag above the U.S. Flag. The image to the right shows the upper left portion of the page as the two animated flags appeared on the Optima home page. The full home page is reproduced HERE. This reproduction includes the original animation. Both flags are waving in the breeze, and how patriotic it is, when it comes to the American flag. But how insidious it is, that she helps readers swallow a totalitarian symbol, as sweet as a candy cane, in one visual gulp.

     From the company overview, "In 1996, Optima acquired the rights to the Surete product and initiated licensing and testing procedures to China as part of the Company's global market strategy to dominate Asian, European, and Latin American markets prior to a major U.S. thrust."

     What is the Surete product? It is a spermicide. That's a human pesticide. A chemical designed specifically to kill off the seed of Alpha.

     Now, the Chinese Communist flag is the symbol of the brutal oppression of the people of China since 1949, and of the people of Tibet since 1950. Under this flag, Mao brought forth the death of tens of millions of his countrymen. There is no flag on earth more stained with the blood of innocent freedom fighters than this flag. It is a detestable symbol of Atheism, materialism, oppression and totalitarianism. It is a detestable banner of those who hate and despise everything that St. Germain, and all Ascended Masters stand for. In sharp contrast, we know what the U.S. Flag represents. It is the banner of Sanat Kumara. It is the banner of the I Am Race. It is the symbol of freedom for the entire planet. Not just physical freedom, but spiritual freedom. And so, no lightbearer would ever allow the flag of Communism to fly above the flag of the United States of America. Yet, this is exactly what Lois Drake did. I have reproduced her presentation here. She was challenged on this. She made no apologies.

     This is a point of exposure. A person with a threefold flame, the flame of freedom burning within their hearts, would feel sick at seeing this flag of Communism, fly above the flag of the United States. Yet, Lois Drake was comfortable with this. That tells us that we have a church president who has no threefold flame. And that certainly explains a lot. All of the points above now make perfect sense, when you understand that this individual has no guiding light inside of her. And moreover, that the people she feels most comfortable with, are in the same sinking boat. That's right. The members of the Board of Directors truly believed in their heart of hearts that she was the best possible leader for our Church.

     The evolution of our organization, could be compared to the evolution of nations in this regard.

     Our organization needed a powerful King to keep things together during its first years of existence. And that King, who we know as the Messenger, certainly, and without a doubt, had the mantle of Divine Sponsorship, around which many hearts coalesced in unity and harmony for the most part. During the Camelot years for example, we had a condition that was close to being paradise on earth. And so, we can say, that this King did many many good things. The King ruled justly and wisely in many, and most respects. But as has been reported, this King also made some big mistakes. She was not a puppet of the Heavenly Hierarchy. She had free will, and as a student on the path herself, she had to be given tests, and she had to face the choices that go with those tests. Many of her choices were good choices. Perhaps it is true that 99% of her choices were good choices associated with tests passed, and additional attainment earned. But she also made some big mistakes, as the previous report alluded to. And like everyone on the path, she had to bear the consequences of those poor choices, those failed tests.

     But now the King is gone. And what do we see? Well, we see a much greater level of chaos than we ever saw under the rule of the King. But this is a natural thing. That magnet that attracted allegiance and loyalty from many people, has been moved off stage. And those who remain at court, as it were, are trying to provide a substitute for the former King. And it is obvious, that these individuals do not have that magnet of Divine Sponsorship. In fact we see them exercise power in many unjust ways, in ways that appear very hard-hearted. And the term tyranny is popping up more and more often, and what do we see in response to that? We see calls for more democracy. This development follows the natural evolution of nations.

     If King George III was a wise and just King, the people living in America would have remained comfortable under his rule. But streaks of irrationality entered into his decision processes, and when irrationality touches the people on the tip of a spear of great power, that's when the people say, "Ouch! That feels like tyranny!" And they start thinking about freedom and independence.

     And so it is with the situation in our organization today. Irrationality is being placed at the tip of the spear of organizational power more and more, and here and there, we hear more and more people saying, "Ouch! That feels like tyranny!" And they are calling for checks and balances against the misuse of power. And just like in the years that led up to the Revolutionary War in America, when the people in America petitioned the King and petitioned the British parliament for mercy, those calls fall on deaf ears. And the people start thinking about freedom, and independence. They start thinking about self-rule, they start thinking about democracy, as the model of self-government that is most likely to minimize the misuse of organizational power. Absent a wise King, democracy is the only path to secure freedom and justice for the people.

     (But I would just point out, that if they love their nation, the people don't move out of the nation. They establish democracy inside of their nation, not outside of it. They make the sacrifices necessary to make sure that democracy takes root inside of their nation, not outside of it. And they step forward to shoulder the responsibilities of self-government inside of their nation, not outside of it. Our organization, is our nation, in this respect. It is the new Holy Land, that is destined to spread across the entire earth.)

     I would just point out that many will say that pure democracy won't work. We have heard this foolish statement so many times that we don't live in a democracy, we live in a Republic (in America). But "pure democracy" is defined as the form of democracy that can deliver the promise of greatest protection of the people's rights and liberties under current circumstances. Therefore, the phrase "pure democracy" is equivalent to the term "representative democracy", where the elected representatives of the people exercise their delegated authority, derived from the consent of the governed, within a threefold framework, where there are checks and balances between executive, legislative, and judicial functions. As long as we have fallen angels among us trying to grab hold of the reins of power, and as long as we have people still in a state of rebellion, who are susceptible to their lies, and their rallying calls around the banner of error and illusion, we need the representative form of democracy, with those inherent checks and balances built in. We need this, so power cannot be consolidated in the hands of a single evil individual, and used thereafter for the purpose of serving his or her personal whims which are, more often than not, impulses from the hearts and minds of the false hierarchy. Will this system produce perfect outcomes all the time? No. But it is a far cry better than placing all power in the hands of a fallen angel who has scraped and scratched his, or her way into a position of ultimate control.

     I believe that in the evolution of nations, the time comes, when God will say, "I will not give you another King. I will not sponsor another King. You must transition to a form of self-government." Now, this is a test of obedience, isn't it? If the people refuse to take this test, and still cry out for a King, they will get a false King, a fallen angel, who will place irrationality at the tip of the spear of power, and that King will poke and poke and poke the people, until they finally figure it out, that it is better to make the efforts, and the internal changes necessary for self rule to work, than it is to live under the rule of tyranny. The people of Iraq are at that decision point now.

     Of course, the tyrant, i.e. the false king, will always have a ring of supporters around him, that will help him prolong and justify his rule. The false kings give out perks of power to those who will scrape at their feet, and in defending their king, they are defending their own place in the food chain. And they will do this tenaciously. And this is the resistance and the challenge that all people who would be free must face and overcome.

     I believe that this organization is in that transition process now. Our early history was characterized by the rule of a King. God our Father, in his wisdom, has removed the King. And by doing so, he is saying to us, "There will be no more Kings." But those still at court are accustomed to having a King, so they are trying to create substitute kings. They are being disobedient in this respect, and therefore, the only thing they can raise up are false kings, who rule with irrationality, and poke the people with the spear of tyranny.

     Those at court must bend the knee to the judgment of God, who has said, that there will be no more Kings. The Masters stated clearly, there will be no more Messengers. And moreover, this statement is inherent in the situation. Just as no one was ever able to replace King Arthur, no one will ever be able to replace Elizabeth Clare Prophet. No one will ever be able to fill her shoes. Because of this, no one will ever be able to be that magnet which could attract a commensurate level of devotion and unity. Even Elizabeth Clare Prophet herself was disobedient in this respect, by trying to raise up another King from within her own family. Did God bless that effort? No. Therefore, there will be no more kings.

     We must make the transition to a new form of self-government within this organization. We need to do this to make sure that the mission of this organization will succeed. It has no chance of succeeding under the rulership of false kings.

     Moreover, we need to do this to protect ourselves from the negative karma these individuals, these false kings, are creating as they continue to misuse the power of our organization. The handwriting is on the wall. More and more, our decree work must be allocated (by the Masters) for the balancing of the negative karma that the organization is making under the rulership of these false kings. For example, the mission of this organization cannot move forward one inch, until the Russia situation is resolved justly. A great percentage of the light we invoke in our decree services must be diverted from normal planetary chores, to resolving this situation. The reason for this is that if this organization does not succeed, the planet will fall into another age of darkness. The Masters will not allocate our decree work into areas that could be swallowed up in that oncoming darkness. They must focus on these issues which represent a wheel stuck in the ditch. The wagon must be lifted back up onto the road before we can proceed forward. In this, the rulership of these false kings forces us to labor in a false vineyard, one of their own creation, while the overall divine mission sits on a shelf and gathers dust. We cannot countenance this situation any longer.

     I am recalling a recent Pearl of Wisdom in which Guatama Buddha was calling all members of this church (in 1996) to do a 180 degree turnaround, and become the saints that we are intended to be. Now, he pointed to the saints of the Catholic Church as examples that were worthy to be studied. But he also said, that the saints were not found in the leadership. If there were no saints in the leadership, that means that those in the leadership were non-saints. And we know the end of the story. Because of the non-saints in the leadership of the Catholic Church, that organization was judged to be no longer a worthy vessel for progressive revelation, if it ever was to begin with, which is doubtful. If we want this organization to escape that fate, we need saints both in the rank and file, and in the leadership. And to me, this is another argument for the implemenation of democratic principles in our organization. We must take a different path than the Catholic Church took in this regard.

     And here is another principle that argues for the implementation of a democratic process. The Path of Initiation is all about taking tests, and making choices. These tests, and these choices, are the mechanism by which we balance our threefold flames. Implementing democratic processes within our ogranizational structure would present a whole new array of tests and choices before the members, and this would have the effect of accelerating the process of getting the threefold flame balanced in all members. Clearly, as these tests and choices are presented to the membership, this would compel members to study issues that they would not be inclined to study under the top-down leadership structure we have today. This would encourage members to increase the intensity of the illumination flame to meet the challenges presented by these new tests and choices. And that would be a good thing. This would produce a new dynamic that would be in character and quality, the very opposite of frustration, or apathy or stagnation.

     Now, this transition, from the old order, into the new order, does not have to happen by revolution necessarily. We can do this incrementally, if enough people who remain at royal court are willing. We can start taking baby steps in that direction. The first obvious baby step would be to institute due process procedures to deal with the situation in Russia. That due process procedure would illuminate all of the facts, and we could see exactly who was behind this current crisis, and they could then be removed from power. And that would clear the way for a more comprehensive implemenation of democractic principles. Of course, this is one of the reasons that the current leadership opposes that due process procedure. It is a matter of self-preservation for them. Nevertheless, we have the opportunity to take that baby step now. Opportunities are like doors. Let's walk through them while they are open. Let's take that step, and start to move into the future that God our Father has designed for us, a future of self-rule, a democratic future that replaces the concept of the King, with the concept of self-government, where the people choose the leaders that will wield the collective power of their community, where that power is wielded within the framework of laws that the people, through their representatives, have approved.

     As we consider how this new democracy will be structured, we might consider the concept of federalism, and state's rights, where the power of the central authority to interfere in the affairs of the local groups would be limited, and the sovereignty of local groups is protected. For example, the federal govenment in our system (USA) is not allowed to choose the governors or any member of the local governments, let alone overthrow duly elected representatives of the people. We ought to consider the wisdom embodied in this arrangement.

     In closing, I ask you this. Does it seem so far fetched, that the form of government set forth in the U.S. Constitution, and sponsored by the Aquarian Age Hierarch St. Germain, and deemed by him to be the best plan for securing the freedom and liberty of the nation he sponsored, would also be the best pattern to look to, to secure the integrity of this community as we move forward into the Aquarian Age?

     One last idea. Fallen angels gravitate into positions of power, because that is where they instinctively think they belong. The humble children of God, who would make the best leadership decisions, have no such leadership ambitions. And because of this, the field is left open for the fallen angels to scramble to the top. The true sons and daughters of God must step up, and shoulder the responsibilities of self-government.

(This essay was first published through various email lists December 19, 2003. It is reproduced here without any changes or revisions, other than the addition of the nice picture at the top, King of Kings by Greg Olsen.)

"Ha ... Look at the book "Climb the Highest Mountain". It is full of illustrations of naked woman's breasts. What about that?"

     After a quick review of this assertion, the first thing that I need to do is apologize for a previous statement I made in the July 2004 front page article about the photographing of naked children by Monique Gulick for her "Darjeeling Report". The following statement was clearly wrong.

"In all the history of this organization, did the Messengers ever use the naked body of a single child to make any kind of point? No. In all the history of this organization, did the Messengers ever use the naked bodies of several children at one time to make any kind of point? No. Were naked bodies of any person, of any age, ever used for any purpose in any context since the founding of this organization in 1958? No."

     Now, if you want to split hairs, we could say, that if this statement is limited to photographs of real people, it remains true (I hope). But if you take into account the illustrations included in the Fourth Printing, 1979, of "Climb the Highest Mountain", then these statements are proven to be inaccurate, most especially the third statement. Clearly, there are several depictions of naked bodies in these illustrations.

     I have done a survey of the illustrations in the 1979 edition of Climb the Highest Mountain, and indeed, the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet has again been complicit in the breaking of the laws of modesty. Out of the twenty-eight illustrations included in this edition by the artist Auriel Bessemer, seven of them break the laws of modesty, modestly to severely.

     Now, to work through this issue area, we must all strive to come up higher, to a more balanced and realistic perspective in relationship to this subject area (sex). Of course, this is what we have to talk about here. When we are talking about unclothed human bodies, we are talking about sex. This is a subject most people are familiar with. Though clear and reasonable thinking in this area is the exception, rather than the rule. Therefore, let us work together, both the reader and the author, to raise up a golden platform of wisdom, out of the swamp of confusing and contradictory emotions. To that end, I would like to set forth some very simple principles that can help form a stable framework within our minds for all further discussions in this issue area.

     First, let us begin with something that is clearly the most obvious thing about sex, but which almost no attention is paid. Every single thing about sex, God our Father, and Mother designed. That's right. I have just spoken an absolute truth. This design was transferred to the Elohim who were given the responsibility to create not just the body of man, but the entire biosphere within which that body is suspended, both functionally, and in every other way. Yes, sex does exist within a context.

     Now, I don't want to get too graphic here, but every single point of pleasure, associated with the sexual domain, was first designed by God. When we are touched here, or there, again, not wanting to be very specific, all of the internal activity that registers on our consciousness as sexual pleasure, that was designed by God. All the energy pathways. All of the energy patterns. All of the energy impressions. All of this, designed by God. Can you imagine the fun they had designing that? This was not a boring design process I am sure. Imagine the blueprints for all of this on the divine drafting table. That's where it all began. And what is more, they power these manifest sexual systems in the here and now through larger divine energy systems which flow out of their own heart and mind, yes, even moment by moment.

     And so, I would say, that given this fact, that in our sexual natures, that God our Father and Mother desired to give us a very special treasure of their own design, that for us to associate guilt with sex, is no less than a travesty, and therefore, you can be sure that guilt was never part of their plan. The only legitimate and lawful manner to relate to your own sexual nature, dear reader, is through the flame of appreciation and gratitude. This is an absolute, as long as the soul resides within the context of the law. Of course, the Divine Law, the framework upon which the entire creation hangs, is not to be dismissed in this, or any other area of life.

     Actually it is true, that the divine law is to be adored ten thousand times more than the various aspects of the creation that exist within its context. Without the law, there would be no creation, no opportunity, no life at all.

     And therefore, you, dear child, are required by the law to extend to God your Father, and God your Mother, the appreciation and gratitude they deserve for every gift they have given to you, and to me, and to all of us. If they gave us sexual pleasure, which they did, then our only lawful response to that is appreciation. And as we learn to appreciate, our sense of the divine purpose associated with every treasure given, comes more clearly into view. It is perfectly appropriate therefore, that when God's Children partake of this treasure, again, within the context of the law, that they make the effort to express their gratitude and appreciation right then and there. For example, we can say, and quite sincerely, "Thank you O God my Father, and God my Mother, my blessed Divine Parents, I Am That I Am, for building these pleasure systems into our body temples, and giving us the opportunity to exercise them from time to time."

     Now, in this regard, there are two reasons that God our Father and Mother designed and created the sexual domain. In other words, our sexual nature serves two divine purposes.

     The primary reason for which our sexual nature was created, was for the purpose of bringing forth children into the physical octave. This is the one and only portal of opportunity for the reincarnation of souls. And so, sexual relations, within the context of the law, is like unto a paradise-like boulevard lined with divine trumpets heralding the arrival of a new son or daughter into physical incarnation. And of course it is true that those who play the trumpets get to practice in place before the real divine event occurs.

     Do marching bands practice all summer and over the fall months before they participate in the Rose Parade? Yes, they certainly do.

     The second purpose for the sexual domain, has to do with the issue of unity, and the strength associated with unity. In this I am referring to the marriage bond. The best situation for the upbringing of children is a family situation in which the father and the mother have a stable and strong relationship. This important aspect of our sexual nature, has to do with strengthening that all important relationship, which is accomplished in the exchange of energy, chakra to chakra, male to female, and female to male, for the purpose of establishing and making stronger the quality of unity. Many wonderful and magical things can pass between the energy centers of man and wife as they participate in this domain of activity. This is the Will of God. Strength is the Will of God. Strength in this fundamental relationship is certainly the Will of God.

     Therefore, conceiving of the child, and the strengthening of the relationship upon which the successful upbringing of that child depends, as you can see, one follows from the other. In other words, these two aspects of the sexual nature, are two parts of one whole. First, the conception of children. Second, the strengthening of the relationship that will allow the children to be raised in a stable environment.

     Now, the relationship between man and woman is not all about sex, this much is for sure. Well, it is about children. It is about embodying the blueprint of the divine destiny of each newly conceived family member. It is about the dedication of the life, and the surrendering of all priorities, to the mandates inherent in these individual destinies. And so, there is a magical aura that surrounds husband and wife, and it populated by the well wishes of many angels. And within this unique paradise on earth, man and woman, in their united state, contemplate treasures of a divine origin that are beyond the power of words to describe, yes, even as they go about their daily routines.

     Yes, the relationship between man and woman has a powerful magic to it, that transcends sex, even as sex serves as the first floor, the ground floor, of their mansion of dreams. Sometimes this powerful magic, can be caught on film, in some of the more memorable movies we have seen. There are two that come to mind here, that will be forever anchored in my memory. In the 1942 movie "Casablanca", the story, the plot, the direction, and the cinematography captured this, concentrated essentially in the relationship between Rick, played by Humphrey Bogart, and Ilsa, played by the unforgettable Ingrid Bergman. Here, another great truth is set before us, in the fact that context means everything. The second film I have in mind is one more recently made, Cast Away, starring Tom Hanks, came to theaters in 2000. Most of this movie deals with his effort to survive a lonely existence on a remote uninhabited South Pacific island after his Federal Express cargo jet crashed into the sea. When he is finally rescued, we all look forward with him to his reunion with his wife, who, we find out, had come to terms with his death many years before. What power there is in the hopes and dreams of reunion, made all too clear, when it is nearly in your grasp, and it is snatched away at the last moment. All of this is registered in our hearts, in a domain of great power, in the domain of our greatest hopes, beyond the power of words to effectively capture.

     Yes, I believe that we all know this to be true, that the relationship between man and woman reaches into many lofty domains. Yet, our subject here, is primarily the first floor of this mansion of transcendent dreams that I have mentioned above.

     Here is another statement of the obvious. It is important. The power associated with the sexual domain, is greater than any other aspect of life in the physical octave. Greater by several orders of magnitude. And there is a reason for that. The reason for that flows from the primary purpose of the sexual nature. The purpose of the sexual nature being the conception of children, the power associated with it, represents the guardian of this purpose, the guardian of this portal of reincarnation. The guardian must be all powerful, or nearly so.

     And you might ask, well, is there some kind of problem with conceiving children, that is unique to the physical octave? The answer is yes. The physical octave is quite unique in this regard. Here, we are dealing with fallen souls, who are not known for maintaining high quality relationships. We are dealing with fallen souls, who can just as easily hate one another, as love one another. The fallen female has not been described as a shrew for ephemeral reasons. Equivalent testimony in regards to the fallen male exists in the literature of the world, but conveniently escapes my memory. Relationships between selfish individuals often decelerates into hatred and anger, far more easily than they rise into higher qualities of love and respect. And when hatred rules relationships, there is no likelihood that individuals can come together for the purpose of co-creation, unless the powers associated with co-creation are of such a magnitude, that they will be able to transcend dysfunctional emotional relationships. This is why sex is all powerful in the physical. This is the reason.

     Not only can sex override barriers of animosity between males and females, in some cases, the power released, and exchanged, chakra to chakra, can help to wash away those animosities, helping to maintain the quality of unity in the relationship.

     This is important to keep in mind as well. There is a larger purpose for marriage, even beyond the conception of children, and that is the ironing out of psychological problems that stand in the way of the ultimate reunion of twin flames. And here we touch upon one of the more lofty domains of hope which encompasses every marriage in an aura of divine promise. Males have problems integrating themselves with the female. And females have problems integrating themselves with the male. These problems mirror the original track of disintegration followed by the breakup of twin flames. These points of disintegration must be repaired. Each successive marriage in each successive embodiment works to this end, to prepare the soul to find its twin flame, and to reunite. In this regard, every marriage is designed to be an absolute success. And therefore, the forces that break marriages apart, work to frustrate this larger design as well.

     Now, speaking of the tremendous power associated with sex, speaking of this all-powerful guardian of the portal of reincarnation, let us consider, then, what is the modality, by which this power is exercised, one upon the other? Speaking from a male perspective, it is the sight of the female form that spins the gears of the male sexual nature. This is a natural and automatic response, built into the nature of the male, that cannot be suppressed. I mentioned above, why it is, that our bodies are designed, so that this cannot be suppressed. It is not supposed to be suppressed. It is designed to overtake the human will of the individual. Not being a female, I cannot bear (direct) witness to what sets the gears of the female sexual nature into motion. But I would assume that the sight of the unclothed male form has a similar function. Personal experience, from the standpoint of an observer, would tend to support this assumption.

     Our sexual natures are programmed, by Divine Design, to be set into motion, by the visual impact of a naked human body of the opposite sex. There are misconceptions in this area, I understand, implanted in our minds, over the last 2000 years by clerics who had their own minds twisted all out of shape by false doctrine. Someone got the bright idea that sex itself was evil, and that priests should not go anywhere near that well. Thus began a tradition of forced celibacy among the priesthood, and their guilt over the natural outworking of their own sexual natures, found its way more and more into church doctrine, which was then impressed upon the unsuspecting masses. After the reformation of course, the Protestant movement abandoned the celibacy requirements for their ministers, but retained all of the sex-associated guilt that had been woven into church doctrine before that. And we live today in this odd twilight zone where sexual realism and guilt are woven into a single approach.

     But, nevertheless, everyone knows what the truth is in this area. Our experience tells us what the truth is. Bare skin, especially in some strategic areas, sets the sexual nature in motion, and there is nothing that can stop this. This is the way our sexual natures were designed by God our Father and Mother for the reasons stated above.

     This is not the case, of course, in higher divine civilizations, from which we fell long ago. In those domains, because the consciousness is kept clear, allowing the divine glory of God to be radiantly cognized within the pool of every soul, and from the brilliant divine standards of love and compassion reflected therein, all relationships are kept at the highest level of love and respect. When co-creation activities are required, there are no barriers to contend with that a greater power must help to overcome. Actually, love and cherishment, in their purest forms, one to another, and unto God our Father, and Mother, consciously merged with, is the greater power.

     In the physical domain, sex is the greatest power, because there are great obstacles that must be overcome. In the higher heavenly domains, this is not the case. There, the Glory of God is clearly the greatest motivating factor, by infinite orders of magnitude.

     Given the purposes for which the sexual nature was created, and given the modality by which this sexual nature is invoked, we can see the outlines of the law set before us by God our Father, which are designed to protect his purposes, in this area (here, in the physical octave). Here we are talking about the laws of modesty.

     According to the laws of modesty, there is only one person who can lawfully look upon the unclothed body of a woman, and that is her husband. There is only one person who can lawfully look upon the unclothed body of a man, and that is his wife. Speaking from the male perspective, the sight of the body of the wife, especially the breasts, is intended to invoke the sexual desire nature of the male for the purpose of either child conception, or the exchange of energies for the strengthening of the union. If a child is conceived, the breasts are the source of nourishment for the newborn. The newborn has an interesting perspective in this regard, but after the child is weaned, this perspective is not retained in conscious memory. If the child is male, having reached and passed through that stage of development called puberty, the female breasts become the normal triggering mechanism for his newly developed sexual nature.

     Given these simple facts, the laws of modesty require that females and males alike, dress modestly, that they do not allow their bare skin to randomly activate the sexual desire nature of every male or female that comes into visual range.

     As noted, false conceptions abound in the teachings of many religions, that make the natural male reaction to the female form, something to feel guilty or ashamed about. Let us be very clear about this point. There is nothing that the average male can do to arrest the spinning gears of his sexual nature when some part of the bare female anatomy is exposed to his sight. Nothing. The male must understand, however, that such exposures are not to be sought by him, beyond his own wife. And moreover, when females expose themselves to the sight of males, outside the well-defined confines of holy matrimony, those females are violating the law, for which there are consequences. Males should never encourage this type of disobedience and rebellion. If they are complicit in this disobedience and rebellion, by encouraging it, they all suffer the consequences associated with the violation of the law.

     It is important to understand that there is a karmic debt associated with each breaking of the law in this regard. There are several components to this equation. The first and most important aspect of this has to do with energy transfer, and that to the detriment of all parties.

     When a female exposes herself, and causes men to look in her direction, there is an energy flow associated with this attention. Because this energy flow is unlawful, it will have a detrimental impact on the life of both the male and the female.

     In regards to the male, female exhibitionism robs energy from the male, that would otherwise go to his wife. The less energy a man has to devote to his wife in this respect, the less strong the union will be, which has definite consequences for the children, in as much as instabilities in this primary relationship will be transferred to the psychology of the children.

     In this respect, it must be understood, that every soul entering into embodiment, is granted a certain energy reserve that has been precisely calculated by the Heavenly Hierarchy. The soul is given the energy resources necessary to accomplish the mission, and no more. Fallen souls have a habit of misqualifying, misusing energy resources, and while it cannot be avoided that they are granted additional energy with each new incarnation, the amount is limited, in order to limit the level of damage they can do, if the soul decides to misuse energy again. For most males, their mission will include raising a family, and that will entail attracting the right wife, and maintaining a strong relationship with her. If the male allows his energy to be robbed from him, he will find that he will not have sufficient resources to attract the right wife, or to maintain a high quality relationship with the wife he can attract, and in some cases, the question of whether the marriage itself can be held together is thrown into doubt.

     Now, as I am writing this, the hurricane Frances is bearing down on the great State of Florida, which sort of hangs down there like something akin to an unmentionable part of the male anatomy, and this hurricane is said to be the size of Texas. Florida Governor Jeb Bush has ordered an evacuation of millions from the coastal cities especially. And throughout the state, people are rushing into the lumber yards and home supply super stores to find the resources they need to protect their homes, whether they leave or stay. And while those at the front of the mile long lines will get their plywood and flashlights, and other emergency items, the majority will not, because when they finally get into the front door of the stores, they will find that the shelves are empty. And so, this goes to make the point. Resources are granted by a merciful God to His Children to cover every conceivable circumstance. But resources granted by God to every soul are finite. If the soul allows those resources to be stolen, or if he or she simply spends them on the wrong thing, at the wrong time, when the storm hits, they will find that they won't have the resources to protect their property, their valuables, the integrity of their very lives. When the storms passes, they will come out of their shelters, if they had any to begin with, and survey the scene, and sadly, what their eyes will report to them is only chaos, and rubble, the remnants of once shining hopes and dreams.

     Now, given that we are in the midst of a presidential campaign, the Republican National Convention just concluded, we have had, and will continue to have, over the next two months, an opportunity to understand this resource issue from perhaps an even more important perspective. There is clear evidence before us, that this resource issue goes to the capacity, or the lack thereof, of the people to safeguard their own liberty.

     We have before us one candidate who is a betrayer of freedom. That would be Senator John Kerry, who helped to betray the South Vietnamese people into the hands of their Communist taskmasters. Moreover, in Senator John Kerry, we have a man, who helped the Sandinista Communists rob the treasure of freedom out of the very hands of the Nicaraguan people. Moreover, in Senator John Kerry, we have a man who did every possible thing in his power to betray the people of El Salvador into the hands of the Communist insurgents operating there as well. When the decade of the 1980's turned to the 1990's, Senator Kerry had another opportunity to exercise his well-developed muscles of betrayal. When Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, and robbed the treasure of freedom out of the hands of the Kuwaiti people, Senator John Kerry opposed our efforts to get that freedom back. I could go on.

     In the other candidate, President George W. Bush, we have a man who took the action necessary to set 50 million people free. Speaking of hurricanes, this man withstood an absolute hurricane of opposition and doubt. His spine did not bend. It was like the trunk of an oak tree in the 200 mile an hour wind. It did not move. Because of that, 25 million people in Afghanistan, and the 25 million in Iraq, were both set free from brutal dictators, and given an opportunity to establish a form of government based on law, justice, and power of elections. President George W. Bush is a friend of freedom.

     And the debate rages, as it should, between those who support their particular candidates. And as we listen to both sides of the debate, we can see that the power to win the debate, goes to the ones who can best marshal the facts, and set them before their audiences in that recognizable and pleasing constellation which expresses the geometry of truth and common sense. In the end, this is the last line of defense for freedom. If the mind is not expansive enough to grasp a constellation of facts presented to it in that order and form peculiar to truth and common sense, but can be, on the other hand, swayed by falsehoods, the chaos of fractured information, then freedom will be lost. Those who cannot internalize the constellations of truth and common sense, will swallow the lies of the betrayer instead, being persuaded thereby to place themselves under his "care", and will. And in the end, they will follow the betrayer into the abyss of not just self-destruction, but national suicide.

     It is no coincidence that it is the licentious and libertarian left that has aligned itself with Senator John Kerry, the betrayer of freedom. In their licentiousness, they have long ago spent their resources, and because of this, their minds never developed the capacity to marshal facts within a matrix of truth and common sense. Their use of facts exhibit the quality of chaos and contradiction, plucked from the field of knowledge only to adorn the most important lie of the day. On the other hand, for those who have a sense of truth in their hearts yet, they too are lacking, way lacking in their own capacity to marshal the facts and to articulate the truth. Why is that? It is because they too have been sucked into this culture of licentiousness, and thereby, they too have been robbed of their resources, and this at a very early age. What they lose at an early age, they will not get back, unless they can find the Path of Initiation under the Ascended Masters.

     The power, and the capacity to recall facts in an order and pattern that corresponds to the geometry of truth and common sense, is at the core of our defenses when it comes to the defense of freedom.

     When all God-Given resources are present, they naturally feed the development of the mind which unfolds its powers to a particular end, and that is to endow the soul with the capacity to safeguard the integrity of its own life, the life of its family, community, and nation, and that means, exhibiting the capacity to safeguard the institutions of freedom. Very very few individuals, while their hearts remain in the right place, have the presence of mind necessary to safeguard their own freedom. Freedom, in America today, hangs in a very precarious balance.

     40% of the population will jump into the lap of the betrayer at the sign of the first dog biscuit. Another 40% of the population, while they disdain the dog biscuit, and take pride in their own sense of self-reliance, who may yet have a sense of freedom, are still hard pressed to articulate the fact patterns which would guarantee its survival. The other 20% don't care. Yet they hold the balance of power in the election. Fear is the only thing that will get them to move one way or the other.

     This problem is so acute, that it is at the level of a pathology across the entire culture. I have listened to the debate on the subject of Vietnam, when it comes to Kerry's service there. The essential issue at stake in Vietnam was the freedom of the South Vietnamese people. But, I have not heard one person, not one person, refer to the freedom of the South Vietnamese people. And when it comes to the issue of the freedom of the Iraqi people, an issue that is before us front and center today, the population confronts this concept as if it were an alien principle. Freedom of the Iraqi people? What is that to me? Why should I care about that? I just don't get it. Right, the mind never developed the capacity to deal with principles that are at the center of the survival of this nation. And it never developed the capacity to do that, because it was robbed, at a very early age, of the energy resources that were required to build that capacity.

     Great streams of energy are robbed from the children of this nation, from the young adults, all the way up the ladder of maturity, throughout this entire culture, every single day by parading before the people, images of nakedness, in varying degrees. These images invoke the sexual desire energy, and that energy flows out of the individual, to the thieves who display the images. If this situation is not turned around, America will never be able to survive as a free nation. The people will become ever more brain dead, when it comes to the essential ability to grasp the principles associated with the survival of freedom.

     As more and more females engage in unlawful exhibitionism in this respect, of course this continues to increase the amount of energy resources that are drained from the people. But it has another very insidious effect as well. This constant exhibitionism keeps the sexual nature of the males in society revved up at an artificially high level. When males are finally with their partners, this will tend to bring about a very short period of sexual activity, the desire level being so high at the onset that it demands nearly immediate fulfillment, robbing the couple of the opportunity to spend an extended time together, and to exchange one to the other, the energies that would build a stronger union. It is no coincidence that as the culture becomes more sexualized in this regard, with overt exhibitionism nearly everywhere you look, that the divorces rates steadily climb upward. The men are being robbed of the resources they need to hold their marriages together.

     Those men and women who contribute to the dissolution of civilization itself in this regard, accrue a very heavy karmic burden. The law requires they make right, what they have damaged, and it may require that the soul return to repay each individual they have robbed of energy, and thus, hundreds of subsequent embodiments may be required just to balance this karma. Soul freedom for such individuals is a long way off. And given the fact that many women rob energy from men without discrimination, this places them, each one, in a situation in which they might well have to embody in times and places that are very distasteful indeed.

     Clearly, there are some males who occupy the very lowest levels of our society, in terms of the refinement of their souls. To rob energy from these males, will require the female to embody within that low level of society at some point in the future, to repay the debt. This of course, illustrates the absolute foolishness of any form of female exhibitionism. Those females who participate in the pornography industry are to be the most pitied in this respect. By any conservative estimate, they are setting their soul evolution back by hundreds of thousands of years. And the longer the soul remains tied to the wheel of rebirth, the more chances the false hierarchy has to actually kill it off for good.

     In regards to the disposition of the energy that the females rob from the males, what can be said in this respect? Not being a female, I cannot bear witness to the sensations that flow into the world of the female, as they expose their breasts or whatever to indiscriminate male audiences. But there must be some very powerful feedback there, because they learn to like it, and they appear to become addicted to it. This energy, as it is stored in the astral body, will keep the soul enslaved to these activity areas for many lifetimes. In other words, the female draws to herself, the chains that enslave her own soul.

     Perhaps it is true that the content of their astral bodies in this respect, will actually have an influence on each new physical form as they re-embody, from one incarnation to the next, so that they continue to exhibit the visual characteristics that attract the most intense male attention, and thus, these woman find their way back into these activities embodiment after embodiment.

     Yes, have pity on every woman who has the passionate dream to appear as a Playboy centerfold, and achieves that dream. And consider the fate of the soul of Hugh Heffner, the publisher of Playboy magazine. What is the fate of one who participates in the enslavement of so many women? And is responsible for the robbing of so much male energy from society? He thinks he lives in paradise now. But his life is like a match, it is struck, and burns for a moment, and after that, it is no more.

     When artists depict the human body without clothes, there are two primary things happening. First, there is again the issue of energy transfer. When an artistic representation of a nude female body is set before the eyes of the male, it will instantly set the gears of the sexual desire nature in motion. The attention will lock into the image, and over the line of that attention, energy will flow. The question is, where will that energy flow? It must flow to the author, to the artist who created the image. So, in this respect, this is another way for energy to be harvested from unsuspecting males.

     Now, the same principle applies to the artist who produced these illustrations in Climb the Highest Mountain. This harvested energy, or a portion thereof, will flow into the astral body, and it will be retained there, lifetime after lifetime, and will serve as the genesis of all desire to depict nude forms in artistic representations, from one incarnation, to the next. And the same principle applies, in terms of the repayment of karmic debts. What is stolen must be returned. Where damage is done, restitution must be made. Therefore, the principle of chains applies just as much to an artist, as it does to a porn star. The artist is drawing to himself, or herself, the chains that enslave the soul.

     This principle applies to all forms of pornography. And what is more destructive on a long term basis, is the fact that what the artist is doing, and all who expose the unclothed human form before the eyes of those who are not supposed to see it, is planting seeds of disobedience in the minds of God's Children in this respect, wherein, their will, across the entire society, to resist the breaking of the laws of modesty in the culture at large will be greatly minimized.

     The exposure of Janet Jackson's bare breast during the half time show at the recent Super Bowl last January, is an indicator of what is to come. There are so many areas where we would never had imagined the encroachment of nudity, but yet, it is now a way of life. If people believe that nudity in the public square will never be a part of our culture, think again. Barriers existed at one time to the display of nudity in all areas where it now common place. Those barriers were incrementally dismantled. For example, I believe it is true, that prior to 1953, there were no (legal) magazines devoted to the display of the nude female form. The appearance of Playboy magazine changed that. Through that breech in the wall, the hordes of darkness poured, and there was no one to stop them. Wherever barriers appear to remain, which appear to offer a substantial obstacles to the display of nudity in public, those barriers are being slowly dismantled as well. This is the trend that is ongoing in our culture. The barriers are being slowly dismantled one by one.

     I believe that most everyone would assume that public nudity is against the law everywhere in the United States. At one time you could be sure that it was. But strip clubs and topless bars broke down those barriers. Then nudity in movies appeared, and it made its way into television. And now it is appearing more and more on our streets, and in our parks. Earlier this year, in San Francisco, a man decided that he would do his yoga out on the sidewalk in the nude. People complained. But the authorities say there is no law against it.

     What feeds this trend, and makes it nearly irreversible, is the fact that the mind's of the people are being progressively robbed of the capacity to justify the maintenance of these barriers. Divine principle is what is at the root of all of these remaining barriers to public nudity. As minds become less and less capable of grasping these principles, the will to uphold those barriers disappear, and those barriers come down. Consider this. In the once conservative Mormon bastion of Salt Lake City, Utah, the public display of Michelangelo's David used to be forbidden. But no more. That barrier has now come down. And Michelangelo's David has been raised up for all to see.

     Now, there is another very important principle that must be understood. For the reasons just set forth, we can be sure that all motivations for depicting the human body without clothes, originate in the astral influences projected at otherwise good artistic souls, by agents of the false hierarchy. To break the laws of modesty, is always an act of rebellion, and the author of all rebellion, is always the false hierarchy. Therefore, when we consider the destination of these energy flows that are evoked by viewing unclothed figures, we must understand that the energy flow must find its way into the collection containers of the false hierarchy itself. Perhaps the laws of energy flow will divide the current into two containers, as it were, one container corresponding to the artist, and the other to the false hierarchy agents who motivated the artist to express this rebellion against the law.

     This principle helps us to understand that there is even a broader and deeper consequence associated with the unlawful depiction of the unclothed human form before the eyes of the public. The energy that is robbed from the males, and flows into the coffers of the false hierarchy itself, will be used by them to destroy the plans and purposes of God over a wider field of activity. In other words, this puts gas in their gas tank every day. God does not put any gas in their gas tank. None. The only way they can fill their gas tanks, is by stealing gas from those who have it. This is one of the most prominent ways they have for stealing the energy they need to implement their programs of destruction. Therefore, the artist, or the exhibitionist that participates in this, and even the male who allows his energy to be robbed from him over the line of his attention, will be accountable for the destruction wrought by the false hierarchy as it uses that energy to defeat the purposes of God.

     When we wonder what it is that gives life to the most grotesque outer expressions of the false hierarchy, terrorists for example, this is a factor that must be considered, along with the energy streams associated with rock music, drug use, and organized gambling.

     The goal of the false hierarchy is to keep souls trapped in the web of karmic accountability. God our Father desires to set his children free. The False Hierarchy desires to frustrate that desire in every way possible. When you see a half naked woman on the front of magazine cover at the local supermarket check out stand, you now know exactly what is going on. It is all about energy harvesting, and it is about making souls accountable for the horrendous destruction that is wrought with that stolen energy. And of course it is true, that as the soul remains mired in that web, embodiment after embodiment, the total energy of the soul can be sucked dry, and the soul itself will die, and this is the one thing that brings the greatest joy to the hearts of the forces of darkness. To kill a soul, is to stamp an eternal wound on the heart of God.

     Sex is a wonderful and beautiful thing when enjoyed within the context of the law. Within the context of the law, the soul is free to be purely appreciative and grateful to our Divine Parents, who gave us this treasure. But, when the energies of the sexual nature are robbed from the soul, outside of the context of the law, this contributes to the disempowerment of the soul, and to the dissolution of society itself, and to the long term enslavement of the soul in a web of karmic accountability.

     These are the principles, and they are many, that we must bring to bear upon our analysis of these illustrations, which break the laws of modesty, that have been found in the 1979 edition of Climb the Highest Mountain.

     All of these illustrations embody one common lie, and that is, that the naked human form is a symbol of spiritual innocence. For all the basic and fundamental reasons set forth above, we can see that this is simply not true. What is the truth? This is the truth. The naked human form is designed to set the gears of the sexual nature into motion for the purpose of child conception. When nakedness is viewed, the soul is tied into the mass of memories associated with sexual activity, both within the context of the law, and memories associated with sexual activity, outside the context of the law. This is unavoidable, because these categories of activity represent, above and beyond anything else, the most powerful category of human experience.

     Now, individuals who are mired in the astral plane, may be persuaded that they can imagine that there is something spiritual about these depictions, but these imaginations are only that, imaginations. I believe that it is true, that imaginations that are totally warped perversions of truth, these are called delusions. People like to look at the naked human form for only one reason. It is enjoyable, because it ties the soul into the memory associated with sexual experience, and there is a release of light from the chakras in that domain, as long as these illustrations are being viewed.

     For those who have a copy of the book, I would request that you study each illustration, and make note of the fact, that there is a tangible spiritual meaning and power conveyed to the soul by every illustration wherein the figures are clothed. There is a power there that registers within the domain of the heart, and within the domain of all the higher chakras. But when you place your attention on these illustrations which depict nudity, the third eye goes dark, the realm of spiritual truth is eclipsed, and the only thing the soul experiences is the pleasure associated with the naked human form, derived from the light being released from the chakras within the sexual domain as noted. This flow goes directly to the artist, and to the false hierarchy agents that motivated this artist to depict this unclothed forms.

"Renewing Courses"      This illustration depicts two naked forms. The upper naked form illustrates the propensity of this artist to both cover the form in some manner, but to suggest, and give form to the most private parts through that covering. Look at the crotch area of the upper form. What is the purpose served here by adding additional detail in that area? The purpose is to lock the mind more firmly into the domain of the sexual. The rear area is clearly delineated. When the rear area is clearly delineated, its invokes an entire region of hand related tactile memories. These are powerful memories, and we do not forget them. To believe that a human being can forget these experiences, or simply set them aside, represents the height of non-realism. Things that God created for us, and that we are meant to appreciate, are held in memory. We do not forget them. And when this area of experience is invoked by the vision of the naked human form, the soul accesses these memories. It is lawful to access these memories within the context of holy matrimony. It is not lawful to have these memories invoked, and the energy flow related it, by public displays of human nakedness.

"Creative Innocence"      Here we have four naked forms. Two children and two adults. (Click the thumbnail for a larger image). The child on the left again illustrates the same technique mentioned above, which is used by this artist, of putting a cover over some part of the form, but making the effort at the same time, to make sure something suggestive will show through. Here an effort is made to make sure the read end of this child registers on our consciousness. This occurs in the adult female as well. Notice the crotch area. The artist made an effort to draw our eye there by giving that area form, that can be seen through the covering. Now, in this regard, I would observe that the most beautiful aspect of any woman is her face. This is where the eyes of her soul are located, and her mind. By making the covering consistently opaque, covering her crotch area totally, our eye would rise naturally to her face. And we would register the quality of her beauty. But when our eye is drawn to the crotch area, that is the focal point of sexual activity, the central pivot point of all our memories in that regard, and that is where our attention is focused. The adult male is totally naked, no effort to place any covering on him at all. But, there is a convenient puffy white cloud to cover over his private parts. This convenient total covering, upon an otherwise totally naked body, actually works to draw our attention to his private parts. What's behind there the artist is trying to cover up? The child on the right is totally naked, with no covering, but in the private part area, there is nothing there, which is actually a clever device that draws our attention there, to ask the obvious question, what is that, is that a boy or a girl? If this child is a boy, then we know what should be there, and if this child is a girl, then we know what should be there.

"Authors of Destiny"      This illustration contains 19 human figures. Twelve are are totally naked, and one partially naked. Here we have the first depiction of the bare breasts that the reader was referring to above. (Click the thumbnail for a larger image). Done quite nicely we must admit. From a male standpoint, they are quite lovely, and they are very nice to look at, but, all of the principles set forth above, apply here. It is unlawful for a male to direct his attention to the unclothed body of any female, unless that female is his wife. This artist is tempting males to break the law in this regard, and to allow their energy to flow out in adoration of those beautiful breasts. Many crotch areas are clearly delineated, using quite dark and heavy outlining, but particulars are absent. The eye will go from one to one, trying to determine gender, and seeing that in the case of some males the gender is suggested. Because of all of the sexual triggers in this illustration, it is absolutely impossible for this illustration to serve any kind of spiritual purpose. It is an enticement to rebellion, on the part of the false hierarchy, operating through this artist. It is amazing to me, that the Messenger allowed this to be published. But obviously, she was taken in by the lie, that the naked human form can serve as a symbol of spiritual innocence. For the reasons set forth above, it cannot so serve.

"Fiery Destiny"      There are sixteen human figures in this illustration. All sixteen are totally naked. (Click the thumbnail for a larger image). This is the other illustration referred to by the reader above, that depicts bare breasts in great abundance. All of the points mentioned in relationship to the image above, apply to this illustration. It is impossible for this illustration to serve a spiritual purpose. It is nice to look at for only one reason. It keys our consciousness into the domain of sexual experience. Right at the very top of this illustration is a very graphic representation of a female rear end. It is impossible for a male not to lock into that and admire it, and thereby be pulled into the domain of sexuality. Just impossible. The fact that this is presented at the top of the image, is a message in itself, drawing the light of the crown down into the lower chakras. It is the only female rear end in the entire image.

"The Mission of the Divine Femine"      This is the image that breaks the laws of modesty, only modestly. (Click the thumbnail for a larger image). I would just ask why there is a need to display the child without any clothes on at all. What about the swaddling garments with which Mother Mary wrapped her son? And what about the fact that this child is not potty trained. Too young to be potty trained it seems to me. Doesn't that pose a problem for this mother? Isn't this mother smart enough to make sure that a bigger mess won't be made, than is necessary and predictable? Perhaps there is a subliminal message in this in that regard, telegraphing this artist's disdain for woman herself. What kind of intelligence is there in a woman who holds the totally naked child in the midst of all of those wonderful and expensive robes? Clearly, she allows the female body to be exploited in so many instances in this series. So this analysis is not that far fetched.

"Man's Choice"      In this illustration, we have one man totally naked on the left, and another totally naked on the right. (Click the thumbnail to bring up a larger image). In regards to the man on the left, the crotch area is clearly uncovered, but there are no details. The eye goes directly there, and wonders, where are the private parts which should be there. This confusion, this unanswered question, actually causes the eye to dwell there longer than it might otherwise do. Again, the use of naked bodies completely eclipses whatever spiritual message this illustration is suppose to convey. What is the "Man's Choice" referred to here? To be naked or not to be naked, that is the question.

"The Merging of Twin Flames"      This image contains two figures, one male, the other female. (Click the thumbnail for a larger image). The male figure is totally naked. And there is the same issue with the crotch area. The crotch area is uncovered, but there are no private parts. Where are the private parts? Looking more closely, you can see that private parts are just barely suggested. How intriguing. What exactly is that? This question again causes the eye to linger there longer than it otherwise would, i.e. if the crotch area was just simply covered. Now, surprisingly, while the male is totally naked, an attempt has been made to cover the woman. This is certainly confusing. Why is the man totally naked, and the woman covered? What are we to make of that? I cannot conceive of an answer to that question. But again, we see that very interesting technique that the artist uses, to give the impression of being covered, but making a very determined effort to help the viewer to see through the covering! Look at her breast area. The artist has made the effort to help us see her breasts and to quite a bit of detail too. Men do not miss that. And of course, look at the shortness of her little skirt. That draws the attention, of the male at least, to the crotch area. In fact, that skirt is so short, that one would think that the crotch area ought to be visible. This visual dilemma keeps the eye anchored there longer that it would otherwise linger, if that area were sufficiently covered.      And of course the addition of these two large balls is quite an interesting choice, I must say.      We have seen the later versions of this general design concept. The later versions have been cleaned up considerably. I am referring to the full color twin flame posters, and example of which is reproduced here. (Click on the thumbnail for a larger image, 1985 poster). The man's crotch area is totally covered, but the reason he needs to be bare chested yet, is beyond me. It distracts completely from the message that this image is supposed to convey. The female's clothing is now completely opaque, and the length is sufficiently modest. The sense of actual spiritual beauty shines through the image of this female now. In other words, the visual weight of the components of this graphic are nearly equal, allowing the mind to sum together the image of the causal body, and the female form.      When human forms are sexualized, they carry a thousand times more visual weight than any thing else in the image, and the spiritual information is thereby totally lost. This image could be improved vastly, in terms of fulfilling it spiritual purpose, if the man had an appropriate garment to cover his chest area.      Perhaps there is this interesting idea in the minds of some people, that a perfect physical body is somehow associated with spiritual attainment. This is not true. We have many examples of people in this society who look exactly like the image in this chart, in terms of the muscular depiction of the male torso, but they are absolutely empty inside, in terms of spiritual reality. Just watch the wrestling channel on your cable system if you doubt my word. The name Jesse Ventura comes to mind as well. He was the wrestler who was voted into the governorship of the State of Minnesota. In a dictation that was reproduced in a Keepers of the Flame Lesson, No. 30 I believe, the Master Serapis Bey recounted that there were some, who have been admitted to his retreat at Luxor, who actually left off their studies there, to pursue the perfectionment of the physical body. He told that story for a reason. Clearly, he was not applauding the wisdom of their choice.

     Now, here is a very interesting irony. Compare and contrast what has been said above about these illustrations in Climb the Highest Mountain, to this paragraph, which is found in the text of the very same book:

"By injecting distortions of the divine art into the consciousness of the people, they were able to capture their minds and emotions and to divert their attention from the Presence, causing their energies to flow into matrices of dense desire."

[Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth Clare Prophet. Climb the Highest Mountain. Book One. The Path of the Higher Self. Pages 110 and 111. Copyright ) 1972, 1977, 1986 Summit University Press. (Fourth Printing 1979, p. 89)]

     This is very interesting indeed. However, I don't think the Messenger included the aforementioned illustrations in this book for the purpose of illustrating this concept.

     Admittedly, most people will not spend very much time at all looking at these particular illustrations. For myself, I totally forgot that they were even there. I had to be reminded by a reader. The perceptions and reactions that I have described will be condensed in most cases into a few seconds. But that is enough time to evoke the sexual nature, transfer energy to the artist, and the false hierarchy, and for the visual seed to be planted in the mind that public nakedness is the Will of God. That of course is a lie. There should be nothing in this particular book that plants any kind of lie into the minds of those who read it. And of course, it is also true, that while the energy harvested from a single viewer may not be much, one single drop of gas, when harvested by the thousands, may well fill up a gas tank. And that vehicle of evil will then be able to run its course, trampling the plans and purposes of God in ways that we cannot even imagine.

     Also, when it comes to deciding whether these illustrations serve the purposes of God or not, another factor that we should take into account, is the fact that for those students who are not married, they are called to a path of celibacy. These illustrations, in this book, work against the integrity of that particular path.

     Now, it is clear enough, that in the area of sex, the psychology of the children of God, in the fallen state represents a mass of confusing contradictions and especially guilt. There is probably not another area where it more true, that we see through a glass darkly. This includes the psychology of the Messenger, as has been clearly illustrated above, in terms of her propensity to break the laws of modesty in her meditation upon Michelangelo's David, and her encouragement of others to do the same, and in regards to her inability to compel this artist to comply with the laws of modesty in the illustrations created for one of the most important publications there is, which is "Climb the Highest Mountain". After all, this is supposed to be the flagship publication of this church. And so, when we understand that, we should not minimize the desire of the false hierarchy itself, to try to embed flaws in it. Here, they have succeeded.

     Given that this area represents a mass of confusing contradictions and guilt for every fallen soul, it was very easy for the fallen angels to foist a lie upon the minds of the children of God, from the pulpits of the churches no less, when it came to accepting each progressive instance wherein the laws of modesty were broken. This lie was planted within the stream of western culture by many artists, Michelangelo for example, who helped to deceive the people into believing that the unclothed human form was a fit object for our attention, when rendered in an "artistic" manner. This deception represents the proverbial nose of the camel sticking through the tent flap. Pretty soon the whole camel is inside the tent. And once one camel is inside the tent, you will have the whole herd inside the tent before you know it. And that is where we are today.

     I make note of the fact here, that the Masters declared to the world that their Messenger, Elizabeth Clare Prophet had balanced 100% of her karma as early as 1980. We need to understand exactly what that means.

     Some people believe, erroneously, that this makes the Messenger a perfect human being. But that is not the case. What this means, is that through her service to the Brotherhood, in delivering a Teaching that has the potential for bringing an entire planet into a Golden Age, at that point in time, she had balanced her accounts with every lifestream that she had ever harmed in any manner before.

     But, this is the question. Does that mean her electronic belt was cleared?

     Does the fact that she had balanced her accounts with other lifestreams, mean that she had dealt with, and confronted every aspect of the dweller, which still resided in her electronic belt? No. I don't believe we can reach that conclusion.

     Why are people not perfect? It is because they still have aspects of their being invested in patterns of imperfection. These patterns of imperfection are stored in the electronic belt. And those patterns come to the surface, according to the cycles of cosmic clock, for identification, and transmutation. Those who make mistakes, are still going through this identification and transmutation process. And by all accounts, the Messenger made many mistakes, from 1980 through her retirement in 1998, validating this principle. I believe that many aspects of her personal psychology remained to be transmuted, through the normal testing process that every student goes through. Remember. She was a student on the path, in every respect, in the same manner that we all are. She had to face electronic belt momentums, identify the dweller, and go through the process of surrender that we all have to go through. When it came to her own personal path, she did not always get it right.

     One factor that must be brought to mind, is that in a previous embodiment, that Elizabeth Clare Prophet, as Guinevere, allowed the issue of sexual desire to destroy Master El Morya's (King Arthur's) Camelot. This is a weak spot with her, and she carried it with her into this embodiment. In this area, when it comes to sex, we see that she did not successfully divide the real from the unreal. When it came to the area of sex, and by extension, marriage and family, she was not exactly clear, as to what was real, and what was not, and evidence of that, is that she accepted the lie, without question, that the unclothed human form was a fit object for the attention of God's Children, when rendered in an "artistic" manner. We see this error expressed in the area of Michelangelo's David above, and we see this error expressed in an even more pornographic manner in some of the illustrations that were included in the 1979 edition of "Climb the Highest Mountain".

     Now, I believe Elizabeth Clare Prophet was a very obedient soul in most every respect. Her one desire was to do the will of God, and she dedicated her life to that, and very successfully so in nearly every respect. I remember when she was teaching on the abortion issue, that rape, incest, and life of the mother exceptions were the Will of God. When the Master's declared otherwise, through a dictation delivered through her own mouth, she quickly came into alignment. In this we see that on the one hand she was capable of embracing a position that was totally at odds with what the Masters hold in their own hearts as truth, but at the same time, once she is informed of her error, she will self- correct, and quickly. She had the desire to do the right thing, and that desire was very deep. And so, I don't believe we are talking about an area of conscious disobedience here. Just an area of personal confusion and blindness.

     There is no desire on my part to use this mistake made by the Messenger, to conclude, that she was not a valid Messenger. I am effectively immune from drawing such erroneous conclusions. I know that the light the Masters poured through her, was real. And that they sponsored her. I have a treasure chest of spiritual jewels that speak to the truth, that this Messenger, this Teaching, this Church, represents the highest hope for the spiritual victory for every soul on this planet. And therefore, we must conclude the obvious, that in her platform duties, the Masters were able to effectively work around her personal flaws in most respects. It is also true, that my respect for her work in this regard, which is a high regard, compels me to stand forth, and help people to realize, that it does not serve the Master's purposes, by foolishly seeing and accepting her mistakes as jewels in the treasure chest of Ascended Master Teaching. When these mistakes come before our attention, as these mistakes have, let us pluck them out of the treasure chest, and thereby make more certain the possibility of total victory for all future generations.

     Here, the Church Manager, Rev. Linda Worobec, identified as Linda Terry on the reverse side of the program, desires to share with the congregation, the "good vibrations" of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Now, every song they ever wrote was a poison arrow in the quiver of the false hierarchy, and here Linda Worobec plays the archer, allowing this particular poison arrow to fly off her own crossbow into the hearts of an unsuspecting group of ascended master students.

     What still amazes me, given the teaching on exactly who the Beatles are, she has the audacious hutzpa, to print the name of the Master's most ardent enemies in a printed program describing a performance she herself will lead before hundreds of ascended master students.

     There it is in black and white. Who is there, in their wildest imaginations, would ever believe that the Ascended Masters would approve of their printing equipment being used to help make these enemies of the Brotherhood more popular among their students?

     I have added arrows to point to the two points of audacious betrayal forever immortalized in this printed program. You can click on the arrows to bring up enlarged details of these two entries.

     I had to ask, because I did not know, What is Ragtime? And so, I did some research, and we find first of all, that Scott Joplin, born around 1870, is known as the "Father of Ragtime." Rag time is known principally, for its syncopation. That's a dirty word by the way, as you will see from what the Masters say about it. It is also interesting to note that the music of Scott Joplin was fringe, and largely ignored, up to the year ... Guess what year. Can you guess? Joplin's music had been ignored up until 1973, when it was featured in the Movie "Sting," (isn't that an interesting concept?), which won an Oscar for Best Picture that year. This 1973 movie was the vehicle for resurrecting the popularity of Scott Joplin's ragtime music (it had been dead since before 1930). As a result of this movie, all of sudden, ragtime, and its syncopation, takes off (again). What was another thing that happened in 1973? That was the year that the U.S. Supreme Court overturned all state laws outlawing abortion, making abortion legal throughout the United States. That was also the year that the World Trade Twin Towers were completed in New York City. 1973.

     The movie "Sting" is about con men. Isn't that interesting? Isn't it interesting that they would choose this music to sort of set the tone for a movie about CON MEN? It was based on David W. Maurer's 1940 novel, "The Big Con". At the 1973 Oscar award ceremonies, as David Niven was introducing Elizabeth Taylor who would announce the winner for Best Picture (Sting), a streaker Robert Opal darted across the stage. That streaker was later murdered in a San Francisco sex shop in 1979.

     O yes, Scott Joplin, the Father of Ragtime, showing symptoms of dementia, paranoia, and paralysis, died of terminal syphilis after being admitted to Manhattan State Hospital, a mental asylum, in New York City, in April of 1917. That was the year the forces of Communism took control of Mother Russia.

     Let us review what the Masters have said about syncopation. Five short quotes if you don't mind.

Vol. 29 No. 1 - Great Divine Director - Jan. 5, 1986 The Handwriting on the Wall: Read It and Decide Your Destiny - I "These are serious times. For your very health, for your very mindfulness you ought to conserve the life-force. You ought to denounce the fallen angels who purvey their rock music to steal from you by the syncopated beat the power of the Kundalini. You have never seen a rock star with a raised Kundalini. It does not exist. It is lowered, creating the magnetism out of the very bowels of the earth. Blessed ones, these have burned out their chakras long ago and must amass the Light from the Lightbearers who follow them. Thus their auras are magnetic and they seem filled with a certain power. But it is not the power of that which is Above but the power of that which is beneath that hath but a short time." [This dictation by the Great Divine Director was the opening address delivered through the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on Saturday, November 2, 1985, during the 3-day Seminar for World Teachers on the Teachings of the Ascended Masters in Flevohof, Holland.]

Vol. 30 No. 57 - Beloved Himalaya - November 26, 1987 The Heart of Christ Is the Open Door - Discrimination of Reality and Unreality - Discernment of Spirits "Blessed hearts, only self-destruction and disintegration can come through the syncopated beat of rock music. Understand, then, that the key to the loss of the sacred fire of the spine is this very beat and the movement of that which I call anti-music and anti-Word. Therefore, know, O world, that that which seems as harmless as a dove in flight, as the simple pastime of youth is neither simple nor harmless nor is it a pastime but the consuming of time and space." [This dictation by Himalaya was delivered on Sunday, October 4, 1987, during the 4-day seminar held at the Penta Hotel in New York City, where Elizabeth Clare Prophet was stumping for Saint Germain's Coming Revolution in Higher Consciousness.]

Vol. 35 No. 64 - Beloved Omri-Tas - December 12, 1992 Voyages of Soul Discovery, VI - Free in the Laughter of the Laughing Buddha! - Simply Step Right Out of the Old Mold - Tend the Reservoir of Violet Flame over Europe - Do Not Let It Run Dry - A Continuous Violet Flame Vigil for the Youth of the World "In other rooms in this very place and in places throughout the city, the rock music burns on, consuming the soul's sensitivities, neutralizing the action of the chakras and the soul's ability to make contact with God. Thus it is, beloved. Make your heart a place of refuge for the youth of the world by establishing there the divine harmony and connecting yourself to the music of the spheres. The music of the spheres is the music of the Causal Body of every son and daughter of God. This is the music that purifies and heals, that balances and restores wholeness and displaces the insanity that is caused by the syncopated beat of rock music. Yes, the sick in their numbers increase and the insane in their numbers increase. The world cannot survive in the sanity of God and the Mind of God and also drink of the cup of the fallen ones." [This dictation by beloved Omri-Tas was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet at the conclusion of the October 10, 1992 Saturday evening service during the five-day conference Voyages of Soul Discovery held at the Castlegate Hotel, Atlanta, Georgia.]

     Now, Church Manager Rev. Linda Worobec is sending exactly the opposite message to the student body by providing sips from the cup of the fallen ones during this performance for ascended master students (July 4, 2003). When an individual in leadership opposes, so directly, the words and teachings of the Masters, it is truly a paradox, when it comes to understanding why the membership will allow her to remain in her leadership position. Don't they understand, that when they don't challenge this rebellion, that they are complicit in it? Don't they understand, that when they don't challenge this rebellion, that they are allowing the dweller of rebellion itself to occupy the very surface of their own consciousness, thereby cutting themselves off from the higher initiations of the path? I pray that this understanding comes quickly to the majority. It is so sad, to think that they actually believe that they have something valuable in their hand, as they hold the hand of Rev. Linda Worobec, in sympathy, and in her defense, when that defense robs them of so many great treasures of spiritual reality that the Masters desire to give them, but cannot, due to their inability to divide the real from the unreal.

Vol. 30 No. 36 - Sean C. Prophet - September 6, 1987 Expose - Rock and Roll in America - Open Warfare by the Seed of Darkness upon the Children of Light - Part I - Heavy Metal: Abuse of God-Power "Well, the bands think that lyrics mean something. And the Satanists think that lyrics mean something. So the youth of America had better wake up to the fact that the lyrics do mean something and that when they go to these concerts and sing along and bang their heads to the syncopated beat, they are participating in satanic rituals." [This lecture by Sean C. Prophet was delivered on Thursday, July 2, 1987, at FREEDOM 1987 in the Heart of the Inner Retreat at the Royal Teton Ranch, Montana.]

     Really, now, speaking of Sean's observations, I believe this is true. When a climber is led to the mountain top by reputable guides, his witness of the view ought to be seriously considered, even though he might have forgotten climbing the mountain at all, as the years roll on, and as this very same rock music turns his memory body to mush.

Vol. 31 No. 84 - Beloved Gautama Buddha - December 10, 1988 The Initiation of the Heart - The Alpha Thrust and the Omega Return - The Psychology and Karma of Child Rearing "Guard the heart. Do not allow it to be bombarded by [dissonant] sounds whether through the media or one's ill-chosen companions in life who do not contain the reverence of the heart of God with them. Thus the profane, beloved, will defile the heart as they would steal the rhythm of the heartbeat of God and his sons and daughters and then play it with electronic sound and syncopated beat to disturb the very formative process even of the physical heart of the unborn within the womb." [This dictation was delivered on Sunday, November 27, 1988, 4:31-5:14 p.m. CST, at the Church Universal and Triumphant Community Teaching Center, Chicago, Illinois.]

     The Masters are talking directly about rock music here, I understand that. But one of the things that makes rock music the destroyer of souls, is the syncopated beat, as noted. Perhaps Ragtime, having a syncopated beat, could have been a precursor to Rock Music. Whatever. Rev. Linda Worobec chose this for our listening pleasure, but those who were pleased with this choice, were not limited to those in the audience who experienced that unique euphoria that is always associated with the stripping of the light out of the chakras. No, those who got the most pleasure out of this performance were those who are truly from beneath, for this was like an Oasis in the desert for them, as they come upon this spring wherefrom the waters flow freely, and they can drink the light to their hearts delight, and move on, their life extended for another day, to wreak havoc upon the plans and purposes of God our Father on earth.

     Not by the sun therefore does she rise, but by the coiled spring of earth's desire, like unto the mountains, cold to the touch, and standing afar off, the memory of glory residing in her mind only as a vapor, indistinct, intangible, ungraspable.

     The warrior princess rises for her daily trip to shore, making her sooty tracks across the unwashed deck to the dingy bouncing on the current, tied close in by a dark greasy rope. Her destination, the castle in the dim and unseen distance, rests upon her heart as desire, and hope, but nothing more.

     Now, if tracks could be left upon the water, this would be a well-worn highway, but the water, it flows, unceasing, washing all of her previous footprints away each day, and even on her return each night the flowing water leaves no record. In this sense, I suppose you could say that each trip is new, for there is no track to follow, nor is there much light to row by, only that of the dimmest memories, only these serve to illuminate the way. As we have said, and this so many times before, fireflies are not one of the insect species encountered here.

     Though we could ponder, if we had the time, concerning the footprints stored in the wide ocean beyond. But that is another story.

     This is a wide river, and for the benefit of survival itself, this is a good thing, as few would venture out this far to torment the sleeping princess. Not that the deck is virgin, when it comes to the splash of blood, both of our princess, and the pirates who have been foolish enough to board. But Destiny remains, and they are no more, and in her confidence, born of many battles, but mostly on shore, she sleeps soundly. And she rises into this murky world, with only one thing certain, and that is, that there are more battles to be fought, and there are more to be won.

     This morning, which is no different than any other, the current carries our precious Destiny down river even as she pulls at the oars forcefully, and with great strength, to draw the shore itself closer, eventually to the bow of her little boat. At one time, the little motor mounted upon the stern helped to get her ashore in a more straight line fashion. But gasoline is no longer available, and hasn't been for decades. Oars of old, are the oars of today, as they say, in these parts, anyway. And they are stowed, and the little boat tied to a branch of a massive oak tree that overhangs the little sandy beach that has been her most common landing spot of late.

     The spirit at the center of this tree is her friend, and if she had more time, perhaps their hug would be more prolonged, but as it is, the journey across the yonder marsh, must be joined, and quickly. Impenetrable clouds of insects rise, making the journey impossible, as the day grows longer. There is a narrow window of opportunity here, and she is determined to dash through it. Though a few happy thoughts can pass between them, as she pulls on her boots for the sloggy march ahead. Destiny and her boots, many small voices chuckle at the edge of the waters. She smiles at this, for she loves the humor of all of her unseen friends.

     What is to be said of the slog through this smelly, steamy, devilish swamp, that lies between her and the castle door, I would like to know, other than let it pass as quickly as possible? But you cannot walk, let alone march through a swamp without your boots getting sucked into the mud, and spending an inordinate amount of time trying to simply lift one foot up and out of the muck here, to put the other foot down into the very same muck there. And repeating this process almost endlessly. How many times has she wondered to herself, where is the dry and solid road of my dreams? She has not found it yet, if it exists at all. And if she remains in one place, which is impossible to avoid, to pull up one leg, which she can't do without, I mean you can't just leave it there, and then the other, even for a few seconds longer than good sense would allow, the insects, on wings of spite, take their bearings, and the creatures within these dark waters latch onto the scent of human flesh as well, and some of them will find their target, they always do, and take their little bites, and leave their little stings, making it altogether an unforgettable, and detestable experience.

     But this crossing, it must be made. The castle door, it must be reached. But what good is this sword against these little creatures that you can't even see? So says Destiny, take your little bites now while you have a chance. For your day is nearly done, well, she remembers reading that somewhere.

     A journey of many miles, detestable, repugnant, to the finer sensibilities of the soul, precedes her arrival at the castle door. Life is predictable. And she bears her burden, it is her obligation and duty, her golden heart testifies to the truth of this, even in her pain.

     Because of the uniform lack of illumination along the entire course of her journey, this monumentally huge structure stands up before her, always by surprise, immediately it is suddenly there, with no warning, the castle, its outlines still barely visible in the dimness of the mist and smoke choked marsh. Is there anyone home? It never appears so. Her eyes register no suggestion of higher life. But what great hopes are suggested by the grand architecture, even dimly perceived as they are. As she mounts the steps, pondering the magnitude of the monument before her, an inner hush takes hold upon the soul, even as the insects of the infernal region swarm around her, reaching their peak, biting, stinging, tormenting, but for all that, these strong legs carry her up the steps, and before the great door she stands, and against the pressure of both hands, the doors give way, swinging easily open before her.

     Swarms of hateful biting creatures follow closely around her, as she steps into the dark interior, an anteroom, a silent chamber, wherein the hiss of her attacking companions has been made the more evident, the chamber adding its echo effect, as she turns and closes the doors tight. It is very dark in here, darker to be sure than the twilight region from whence she has just stepped, and the stings of the swarming and clinging insects the more striking upon her sensibilities, because this is now her only sensory experience. But for all that, the floor under her feet is now solid stone, and her returning confidence reflects it, and her memory begins to clear, which in itself illuminates an inner pathway to the interior doorway. Yes, we have been here before, she speaks softly to her soul, a little amazed that this memory was not anywhere with her, only 20 paces from the entry way steps. While the path ahead, from this interior point, cannot be seen, she is remembering that she has been there many times before, and knows what to do, and taking a few steps in the right direction, she speaks the magic word.

     The magic word. And in response to it, all the holy angels bow, and while yet unseen, as you will see, that will not be the case for long.

     The inner doors swing wide open, and the eyes of Destiny, our sister, are filled with an infinite cathedral of blazing and radiant light. A great rush of enchanted and magical wind envelopes her soul, vaporizing all the biting creatures which yet cling and swarm around her, and she is lifted into paradise, by the wings of freedom now mounted on her strong shoulders. As this holy wind subsides, she looks at herself, as if in a mirror, dressed and crowned as a royal princess , draped in jeweled raiment, a crown of glowing gold upon her radiant head, stepping forward with great joy to join the entire cosmos in the glorious adoration of God our Father, and our Mother, whose love, forgiveness, and desire to heal and save every soul, raises all to a height of divine desire, that will make the continued survival of darkness in this world, from a certain day forward, impossible.

     Yes, the world outside the castle doors, is the world of total unreality, embraced by a darkness that has no anchor in the authorship of God, this Destiny sees so clearly now. And before she can enter too far within the radiance of the cosmic cathedral, she must turn on her heels, and carry the radiant experience out into the world, to be the beacon that might draw more to the castle doors. And with a certain sadness, after having made this trek each day, she will depart to do her duty, to carry her light into the world of darkness beyond. The battlefield yet awaits her, and her sword, beyond the castle doors, and her skill in wielding it, is greatly in need by the many.

     Truly, on the battlefield, nothing at all can come nigh to infringe upon this precious memory, save the return to the anchored schooner in the dirty and muddy river, and the oblivion of sleep, which makes today, only a memory, to be resurrected or not, as the one time warrior might choose.

     And so, from the schooner deck, as we roll with the gentle current, and look with Destiny, beyond the shoreline, and inland across the marsh that will be crossed again on the morrow, we might well ponder the mystery of the castle, what is it, who built it, and why is it here at all? Why is there a castle in that swamp? And not on some yonder high and holy hill? Why build it on squishy ground where heavy granite blocks would be expected, obediently following the laws of nature, to sink completely out of sight? And other such questions that curious children are want to populate their developing minds. And I would say to all, that in asking what is the castle, that the child asks amiss. For the proper question is not what, but who. Who is the castle? That is the right question, that will give you the right answer. Even the answer to all of your questions. For of a truth, the Master El Morya is the castle.

Another Poison Alert

Marsha Covington
Channeler and Confidant
of Ascended Master
Imposters

     Now, the Real Masters do sponsor these students, when it comes to finding the path, finding the teaching, and coming to terms with what the path requires, if they are going to find their freedom in the light during this unprecedented time of opportunity. The very process of sponsorship requires the Master to extend some Light to the student, so that the student will have a region of consciousness into which the Teaching can be received. This region will fill up with an awareness of the Teaching, and the very light of the Masters, providing a source of genuine inspiration for quite some time on the path.

     The process of sponsorship will even include an effort by the Master to keep the aforementioned astral entities at bay, so that the student will have an opportunity to anchor enough of the teaching, whereby, a choice for freedom can be made, i.e. when the time comes to make that choice. When the time comes. Remember, these choices have been presented to these students many times before, and they have so far chosen incorrectly every time. So the Masters are intent on giving the soul the opportunity to anchor additional teaching, additional light, before the choice is presented to them again. The choice will be presented again. Of this, we can all be certain. But the Masters want the soul to be prepared to make the right choice this time around.

     And so, these students, as they travel down this path of opportunity, walking upon a veritable carpet of light set before them by the sponsoring Master, will appear to be genuine students by all accounts. But the time comes for them, as it comes to all of us, when the primary tests are presented, and where the opportunity to make further progress on the path will be determined by the choices the student makes.

     And so it came to pass for Marsha Covington, that the time did come, when the sponsoring Master determined that enough Light, enough Teaching had been presented, and that the time for choosing had come upon her. And the Master stepped out of the way, and allowed these astral entities to come knocking on her door one more time. And here was the great question presented to her. Would she be able to divide the real from the unreal? Would she be able to identify the imposter pulling upon her consciousness? Or would she be tempted again to make common cause with the imposter, allow that imposter into her mind, into her soul, giving it a seat of authority, before which she would bow down and worship, as of times of old?

     This period of her life was marked by her efforts to persuade the Messenger, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, that her association with these entities represented genuine relationships with the Master St. Germain. She wrote many letters to the Messenger on this subject, and she posts these letters on her website, but the problem is, the Messenger never answered her. You would think that Marsha would get some kind of message from that, that Elizabeth Clare Prophet, who is the true Messenger of St. Germain, whom you would think would be quick to make common cause with a student who purported to have the attainment whereby she could supposedly converse with this Master at will, did not step forward to give her one iota of acknowledgment or encouragement. In fact, Marsha Covington was dismissed from her staff position associated with Summit University.

     As I said at the onset, some students pass this test, they identify the imposter, and make the calls for the final binding of that imposter. But Marsha Covington did not make the right choice. Of course, the main issue is pride. It always is. Her association with this entity provided a mighty boost for her pride, putting her above every other student, and making her co-equal with the Messenger herself. And so, as this astral entity, this imposter fed her sense of self-importance, which she has a peculiar thirst for it appears, she again made common cause with it, she again became its obedient servant.

     And of course, it is ironic, that all of the mercy, the opportunity, the association with the Teaching, with the Messenger, with Summit University, with the staff generally, all of which the Masters extended to her, so she could win her own freedom in this life, now becomes part of the mask of deception which the imposter uses to draw other students into the same web of astral death within which Marsha herself is trapped.

     This is a very interesting dilemma to be sure. The imposters, which now have full control of her heart, mind and soul, use her resume as it were, to deceive the children of God into accepting her legitimacy, and through her, their legitimacy.

     She stands before us therefore, and declares that the real St. Germain speaks through her, and the word has gone out, throughout the astral plane, and the temple is filling up now with many voices. And you might remember a corresponding scene in the movie "Ghost", when Oda Mae Brown (played by leftist radical Whoopi Goldberg) all of sudden discovered that she has real psychic powers.

     Because of this resume factor, many are deceived into lending their ears to what these "masters" have to say. And of course, she loves it, because she has (some)(foolish) people hanging on her every word, not by virtue of any attainment she has, but by her supposed personal association with the Master St. Germain, and now others.

     When these students (the hosts) are first coopted by these astral entities who impersonate real ascended masters, their minds are filled with a fresh memory of the various aspects of the Teaching, and so the pronouncements of the imposters follow the teaching fairly closely. This allows the uninitiated to be deceived all the more easily. But, as the host spends more and more time with these imposters, they are pulled further and further into their bosom as it were, which is deeper into the astral plane, and their memory of the teaching becomes less distinct, and that is when we see the most outrageous lies come out of their mouths, showing us exactly who it is that is speaking through them.

     And so it is, that Marsha Covington has reached that level of astral mindlessness, which allows her to stand by and offer no resistance as these entities begin to speak the most outrageous falsehoods through her own mouth. We now have a very nice and clear example of this, that should lay to rest, in the mind of any person on this planet, any question as to who speaks through Marsha Covington. Truly, this example proves she is the mouthpiece of ascended master imposters.

     The example that I will use here comes out of her most recent newsletter, which is reproduced in full here.

     Now, there is something in this newsletter that provides us with absolute proof that Marsha Covington has NO SPIRITUAL ATTUNEMENT whatsoever. This means that the astral entities she works with have stripped her of every iota of light that she ever had. And now there are more of these entities around her! Not just "St. Germain", but others. There is no doubt about it. They have made Marsha Covington part of their plumbing system, whereby they draw light from everyone who comes into Marsha Covington's orbit.

     The Masters have said clearly, as you know, that those who entertain these ties, are CUT OFF from any contact with their hearts of light, which means the Masters will not extend from their chakras, any more fresh light to these individuals. And what Marsha Covington has communicated in this newsletter proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that this applies to her. Having no light, she exhibits this peculiar lack of spiritual attunement that is even outside the domain of common sense.

     Primarily, the astral entities that she channels are giving her the impression that the Great White Brotherhood is in disarray. Those exact words came out of her mouth, along with other variations as follows (source):

1. Marsha's words: "The Dream - The Great White Brotherhood Disheveled and in Danger"

2. Marsha's words: "The message the masters asked me to share bottom line is that the Great White Brotherhood is in disarray ...."

3. Marsha's words: "The Dream - The Great White Brotherhood Disheveled and in Danger"

4. Marsha's words: "And therefore the entire Great White Brotherhood is in trouble"

5. Words of the imposter "Maitreya": "Here I sit gazing at what you cannot see --- the terrible state of our Brotherhood ..."

     Anyone who has any contact at all with the Masters, being a recipient of their Light, giving them some level of spiritual attunement, will know that such statements have to be the darkest possible falsehoods that could ever come out of the mouth of anyone.

     What this shows, is that her conception of the Great White Brotherhood is limited and confined to the material world. That's right. Her consciousness does not extend beyond the material to any extent. And this goes to show you, that her entities give her NOTHING when it comes to real spiritual attunement, and moreover, that they have robbed her of EVERYTHING, when it comes to real spiritual attunement.

     One of the most fundamental aspects of the Teaching, is that the Great White Brotherhood is composed of ALL ascended beings, throughout all worlds and universes, cosmic space without end. When we invoke, in our calls, the ENTIRE Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood, we draw upon all hearts of cosmic stature, throughout all creation, extending beyond the stars.

     When it comes to our universe, it is the Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood, that gives expression to the creation itself. And as you can see, the creation is not in disarray. This begins with Elohim, and extends to the shining Solar Logoi in each star system, wherein, the warmth of the rays of Helios and Vesta, are the most familiar to us. To say that Elohim are in disarray, that mighty Hercules himself is in disarray, to say that the Solar Logoi are in disarray, well, that is, and I apologize for saying it, insanity. She spouts insanity, and she cannot even see that what is coming out of her mouth is this gooey black mass of disintegrated principle.

     Moreover, at a more personal level, the Great White Brotherhood is the source of all the blessings that we receive before our altars in service every day. The sacred fire we know as paradise, issues forth from the Great White Brotherhood. This great stabilizing, encouraging, comforting, and uplifting power, that we receive every day, in the course of our work at the altar, makes it impossible for the mind to even conceive of the truth of such a statement, that the source of this great power, could possibly be in disarray.

     The word insanity again comes to mind. It is impossible by cosmic law, for those who are fused to the law, to be in disarray. This great power that we receive from the hands of the Masters, who are the Great White Brotherhood manifest for us, is the epitome of stability, integration, and the source of all healing.

     And so, for Marsha Covington to say these things, to allow these things to flow through her throat chakra, which is the output of the mind itself, tells us that her mind is devoid of those elements of light that would expose these words and concepts as the most grotesque falsehoods. The fact that her mind does not have these elements of light proves, that Marsha Covington is not receiving any of these great gifts of light from the real masters. Not one. None. She has been cut off from contact with the real Brotherhood, and she receives not a drop of treasure from their collective heart, which is the heart of God, for all intents and purposes.

     To say that the Great White Brotherhood is in disarray, is to say that the Heart of God is in disarray. To assert this, is to spout insanity, and she cannot even see that what is coming out of her mouth is this gooey black mass of disintegrated principle. She is so far gone, that she cannot sense the fact that she has spoken the blackest falsehood ever told.

      Purporting to have contact with the Masters, as she asserts this, you can be sure that she is deluded in the most insidiously dark and sinister manner. This is the truth. She may have good intentions, those good intentions associated with self-righteousness and spiritual pride, which desires to maintain this delusion that she is the servant of all good, and perhaps even the key to the salvation of humanity.

     But this is the fact of the matter. She is a tool of the sinister force. She is a tool of that sinister force which represents the opposition to all good. She is the tool of that sinister force which is trying to wreck the purposes of the Brotherhood, primarily by moving into the position of the sympathetic tie, and to draw off thereby, the light out of the children of God, sucking out their ability to attune to the truth, sucking out their ability to attune to the purposes of God, sucking our their ability and capacity to attune to their own mission, and therefore, sucking out their capacity to gain their freedom in the light. Again, I have to say, that these entities are like huge aphids on a rose bud. Let them stay on the rose bud long enough, and they will suck all the vital juices out, and the bud will never blossom. It will just shrivel up and die. Marsha Covington serves as the mouth piece for these aphid creatures, using her own mouth to latch onto the desire bodies of the children of God.

     Of course, we should pity those who have been so trapped, who have been latched onto by these aphid creatures. And have compassion for them. But they are trapped by their own pride. Which is an expression of their own free will. So be it. Let them be sucked dry if that is what they desire. And let them stand at the end of this life, before the image of the dried up and shriveled rose bud that never had a chance to open, and let them feel the sorrow to the very depths of their souls, and perhaps, the depth of this sorrow, will help them make the right choices in their next incarnation. For of a truth, in their next embodiment, these aphid creatures will find them, and try to attach themselves again. Maybe then, having this memory of great sorrow, they will have the willpower to throw those aphid creatures off. The survival of their souls depends on it.

     Clearly, if they keep allowing their resources to be sucked out of them, lifetime after lifetime, they can in no manner fulfill the growth processes that would give them their wings of freedom. But not only that. The soul loses soul-substance in this process, and if they allow their soul substance to be drained off as well, at some point there will be no soul substance left, and at the point, God our Father, and Mother, in great sorrow, must pronounce the soul dead. Never to be resurrected. Even if God our Father, and Mother, in their unquenchable forgiveness, would have given these souls another 10,000 lifetimes of opportunity, the fact of spiritual death makes it impossible for these souls to take advantage of this endless forgiveness and the opportunity that comes with it. When the soul itself has chosen to die, then its freewill must be respected to the bitter end.

Vol. 24 No. 2 - Beloved Lanello - January 11, 1981      "... there are circles of associations and divine friendships and mandalas of light that share in the glorious work of the ages.      " I trust that you will realize how vast is the meaning of the term "the Great White Brotherhood." For as you visualize these circles of chelas gathered around ascended masters who themselves are initiates of other higher beings, there comes to mind a vast, vast realization of light, light, light! And it is a blinding light. And were you to position yourself as on a tour with Dante to behold the heaven world and you could stand objectively without this giant sphere of the Great White Brotherhood, it would be as though you were beholding a Milky Way and even more! And all of this light multiplying light would be a brilliant and enormous manifestation of the interconnectedness of the causal bodies of the Great White Brotherhood.      "Now I have given you this vision for I have noticed that when you give in the preamble to your decrees the call to the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood, scarcely any of you has a real vision of what we are talking about when we say, "...the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood." Therefore when you give this in your invocations and preambles, I would like you to retain this vision that I have transferred to you this night. For there is not an ascended master, a cosmic being, an archangel, or a tiny elemental who is not a part of these circles within circles and these vast circumferences of Life becoming Life.." [The above dictation by Lanello was delivered to the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet at Camelot on Christmas Eve, December 24, 1980.]

     The closer that the student comes to the Ascended Masters, the more clear it is, that these Masters are endowed with the level of the Christ Consciousness that is capable of ensouling an entire planet. Of course, this is the native mode of awareness for a Son of God, who receives his Power of Mind from God our Father. It is this transference of mind that makes this expanded awareness possible. The Son does not have this Mind by his own virtue. This mind is bestowed by the Father upon the Son. And so, clearly as we see that the consciousness of the Master Jesus, and the Master St. Germain especially, ensouls the entire planet, we are confronted with a certain level of uncomfortableness on our own part, in as much as we are now perceiving the level of consciousness, to which, we ourselves are all called. How we are going to get from here, to there, is an unresolved paradox, from the unascended state, embryonic as it is. But we know, that God Our Father will resolve this paradox, that the power to expand our consciousness is in his hand, right now. And that power of expansion is placed, in turn, in the hands of the Masters who tarry with us, to show us the way home. And so, the Masters work with us each day, to expand our horizons a little bit at a time, and after 1 million small expansions, in this we can imagine how we could find ourselves in such an expanded state.

     At any rate, this is one of the reasons that we are asked to jettison pride, for of a truth, what we receive from the Masters, is beyond anything that we have ever experienced in our material existence, and therefor, what we have of real value, we can not, in any way, retain any pride whatsoever in it, because it is bestowed upon us, from the hand of the Master. The lower ego has pride in who it is, believing that it has become this or that through its own efforts. The higher ego has only gratitude for what God our Father, through the bestowal of treasures, has allowed it to become.

     Pride then, represents the chains of illusion, which keep the conception of self locked into a very tiny matrix of identity. And that is why we must release it. We must release those chains, and take the hand of the Master in all humility and gratitude. For it is never humility alone. Gratitude is always a part of the equation, for what the Master gives to the soul, it is always a treasure, and when we receive treasure, we are naturally grateful. If anyone has humility all by itself, it is a false humility. Gratitude for treasures received, forms the basis of all genuine humility. From within the midst of that combination, the souls KNOWS from whence all blessings flow.

     And so, given the state of darkness that Marsha Covington has expressed in this area, we can conclude with certainty that she has not released her pride. That much we can say for sure. She has been associated with these astral entities for so long, that to recant now, she would have to accept the fact that she has been fooled and deceived for decades, and that is a very substantial level of foolishness. Perhaps it is so much foolishness, that it would be impossible for any sense of self-respect to survive, if she was to face it all at once. And in this, you can see why God our Father gives additional life opportunities, so the soul can come back, start from scratch, and perhaps deal with this momentum of foolishness before it becomes so firmly anchored in the outer awareness. That is why it is so important to deal with departures from the straight and narrow in the beginning stages, before the soul starts to invest its sense of pride in its own waywardness.

     And because she has not released her pride, this was even when she was writing communication strategies for Summit University, (perhaps they should all be burned at this point), the Masters were never able to expand her narrow room, giving her these treasures of inner experience that would allow her to grasp the true identity of the Masters.

     And getting back to that true identity, they ensoul the planet, and all lifestreams thereon. The Master Jesus holds in his awareness the needs of every soul. These number in the billions. And here you see the basis of genuine respect. This applies to St. Germain as well. God our Father has placed this power into their minds, so they can hold the balance for the evolution of entire lifewaves. Of course this is true for every one of the Chohans. El Morya included. They encompass the whole, and are aware of the whole. And so, you can see, that they hold the offices they hold, because they have proven that they can keep all of their energies, all of who they are, perfectly arrayed and organized around the central pillar of holy purpose. For them, to be in a disarray, is impossible.

     And being that these Masters, our friends, our elder brothers and sisters, are the Great White Brotherhood, tells us, that for any person to make a statement that would have us believe that the Great White Brotherhood is in disarray, as I noted above, that person is not receiving any resources of light from the Masters on the Path of Initiation. To make such a statement, that individual would have to reside in a darkness so black, so opaque, so devoid of any illumination at all, that one might even conclude, that the soul therein, has already been suffocated to death. How can anyone live in a room without any oxygen at all? They cannot so live. And so, it is really questionable, whether or not there is a soul alive at all in the temple of Marsha Covington. Very questionable.

     Maybe, if there is someone who knows CPR, and who has an oxygen mask, can rush to her side, and save the day, if it is not too late. But let that person have on their chemical warfare suit, for the astral pollution around this soul is deadly. And so, only the most highly trained and highly protected should approach on any such life saving mission.

     For the average student, what I am describing here is a poisoned water hole that they must avoid like the plague. If you allow yourself to become tied into her electronic belt, you too will be cut off from contact with the real Masters. And that would obviously, as long as the connection was maintained, eliminate any possibility of making progress on the Path.

     Millions upon millions of people have spent incarnation after incarnation embedded in these relationships with the false hierarchy imposters, and somehow, they think life is going on for them just fine. But when they make the transition, they always and inevitably face that very sad experience of having to confront the truth, that they have failed again to divide the real from the unreal, that their report cards contain a big fat "F" again. And their prospects for further incarnations and opportunities have narrowed considerably because of this.

     It is the desire of the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood to help these souls to arrest this momentum of foolishness, and to save them the sorrowful experience of facing the reality of a failed mission. That's why the Master El Morya has stepped forward with his admonishments concerning the consequences of maintaining ties with these imposters. It spells death for the soul, ultimately. And so, let's be clear about this. To avoid all contact with Marsha Covington, and her "St. Germain", is to choose life, and that more abundantly.

     On the battlefield, the enemy forces would certainly like to capture the generals, and imprison them if at all possible. Clearly, without generals, the troops sort of mill around, and moreover, they are, more often than not, more likely to run from the battlefield at the first sign of the enemy. It should not therefore surprise anyone, that the generals are a high priority target, and that the enemy has their eye upon these targets from the very beginning. And if and when the enemy succeeds in capturing our generals, it is sort of ironic, that it falls to the foot soldiers to go in and rescue them. Well, that is the order of things on the battlefield.

     And so it is, that Private Showers, along with Private Otley-Phipps, Private Napier, Private Baumann, Private Dziviba-Reed, and Private Westh-Larsen, will go in behind enemy lines to rescue Four Star General Erin Prophet, Three Star General Sean Prophet, Two Star General Tatiana Prophet, and One Star General Moira Prophet, who were all taken captive during the ground battles that ensued in the 1980's and the 1990's. How it came to pass that they were captured at all, well, that is the subject fit best for their own memoirs. They are the best sources of information in that regard, that is, if they survive. But survival is not certain, no, not in the prison camps. And so, circumstances force us to face the question of survival as the highest priority. For now, then, the rescue mission is the only thing that is important.

     Now, going in, we must understand the lay of the land. These generals have been fooled into believing that their life in the prison camps is a good life. Their captors give them everything they need. So they think. But do they have freedom? I don't think so. Do they have the freedom to play their role in the great ongoing battle for the survival of the planet? I don't think so. Many chains do they wear in that regard, and this will complicate the rescue all the moore, as they cling to their chains, in the midst of their forgetfulness, even as their rescuers tug at them, and plead with them, to follow them out of the prison, to safety, in the direction of their destiny. But, no one said the mission would be easy.

     This is how generals are captured and imprisoned on the Battlefield of Armageddon. Their general minds are stolen from them, and they are left dazed and clueless, without that sense of identity necessary to stay with their troops, let alone to lead them. And they are force-marched by their captors into prison camps of illusion, and shown all the soft and cuddly sofas within which they can plant their rear ends, and of course, there are the games, the endless games they can play to keep their attention occupied, many endowed with the illusion of life itself, giving their otherwise desolate existence a sense of "purpose", or so they think. Thus, illusion and its associated logic becomes a sticky molasses that has a clinging power beyond even the free will of the captive.

     And there are more complications. Because Private Westh-Larsen has been wounded, having had her legs shot out from under her some time back, we must labor somewhat, and carry her forward on a stretcher as we continue the process of reconnoitering the location of these imprisoned generals, whereby a rescue plan can be devised. Perhaps Private Westh-Larsen will be able to play a role in the rescue, we shall see. Though this is not certain as long as she resists the application of battle field first aid, as long as she pushes away the hand of the medic, as long as she allows the bleeding to continue. But we will carry her along, as best we can, as we do not leave our wounded on the battlefield. Even when they have turned ornery, and grouchy, and a little bit snitty to boot. Yes, even as they complain of the rough ride. But these temporary setbacks do not penetrate into our hearts. We remember the day she stood shoulder to shoulder with us, before she was cut down, when she herself would lead many a charge. We lift her stretcher, and carry it forward by the strength of our gratitude, and by the strength of our hope for her full recovery.

     And there goes Oatley-Phips, down for the count it appears. Perhaps this stretcher we will not have to carry forward.

     Let those of us, in our little band, who are still on their feet, look forward to the day, wherein our sacrifice will have borne fruit, when the state of amnesia into which these generals have fallen can be swept away like a cloud of sooty smog from the skies over wintertime Denver, and they can put on again their general minds, like unto the battle helmet of wisdom, and thereby be reunited with the forces of the faithful and true, thereby finding again within the sinews of their two legs that ineffable spring that will allow them to once again leap to their feet, and lead their troops onward to Victory!

     And you might wonder, if these four generals are the real generals, who are these that occupy their offices now? Trusted lieutenants? I don't think so. Betrayers, and even robbers, more than likely.

(Original published to the Lighthouse Keepers Forum, September 13, 2004).

     Finally at the end of the work day, when I get to experience that blessed thing we call sleep, before I roll over and close my eyes, I make one last effort, and give three judgment calls, and three 7.21 calls, and then I think, finally, the day is over, and this great reward now awaits me, wherein I get to close my eyes, and leave all of the business of the world completely behind for a time. Make no mistake about it. When I roll over, and my eyelids fall down over my eyeballs, the next thing on the agenda is the weightlessness of oblivion.

     Somehow, God our Father has arranged this special time, when we can become completely separated from all the cares of the world, and I look forward to it. And I am grateful for it.

     But an interesting thing happened to me when I did my usual roll over. My outer mind was looking to fall into the arms of oblivion, but surprise! I am confronted with very special revelation that I wanted to share with you. Who else can I share it with? Actually, I think it belongs to all of us.

     I saw a golden chalice, and there were inscriptions on the upper part, and inside and spilling out of the top was a bright and radiant white light. And over this were the bands of a rainbow. And so, I had to get out of bed, and write it down in my journal. And when I came before the computer today, I wanted to see if I could somehow reproduce what I have seen. I don't claim to be an artist, so it takes me a lot of time to come up with something that is somewhat close. And I would like to share with you my labors for today.

     This poll, our May/June Poll, has more questions than our last one, twelve (12) in all, and therefore deserves a polling page all to itself. But before you go there and cast your vote, for life, or for death, let me explain to you how our contest will work this time around, and of course what the prize is.

     This time, the contest is part of the poll itself. Yes, they are ONE. I think its Question No. 9, yes, that's right, which asks, "Would you like to participate in our contest?" If you check the "Yes" button, then when you submit your answers to all of the questions, your contest entry will be submitted at the same time.

     Now, the contest will be pretty much along the same lines as our last one, which was so gloriously fruitful, in terms of the dazzling sparkles of serendipity that burst forth from it in all directions (see the contest results for the first contest, the remarks of the contest winner, and the challenge presented to her, and of course the summary of it all in the article above). And so, again, the prize will go to the person who can predict the number of people who think it is important enough to participate in this life and death poll. The person who comes closest to predicting the right number, will win! What will they win? They will win a two-cassette audio tape album of the landmark lecture given by the Messenger on October 7, 1977, on the Summit University Campus in Pasadena, California, published under the title, The Science of Rhythm for the Mastery of the Sacred Energies of Life - Uses and Misuses of the Word in the Music of East and West - A Lecture by Elizabeth Clare Prophet.

     Of course, we have presented some quotations and audio excerpts from this album in the main article on the Journal Front Page for May 2004, so if you have read that, you will have a taste already, of what wonders to behold await you when you get to listen to the whole thing! Allow me please, to present the front and back covers of the album here. What is written on the back cover is very interesting.

     And so, without further adieu, knowing now what a great prize awaits the most prescient member of our community, I would invite you to please participate in this important poll, and at the same time, enter our new contest!
