Assimilation and  Expansion

of the Electronic Pattern,

 

Gently closing my eyes and breathing in deeply I reaffirm my ONENESS with the Universal Presence of the Divine. Slowly exhaling I share my unique gifts and blessings with all life.

 

 

 Breathing Statement *for the Assimilation and  Expansion

of the Electronic Pattern

 

(Breathe in)                    I AM inbreathing

(Hold breath in)              I AM absorbing

(Breathe out)                  I AM expanding

(Hold breath out)            I AM projecting

...the true harmony and synchronization of my being! (3x)

 

* The breathing statement should be given four times for each full breath. On the inbreath, breath in the qualities contained within the Flame. As you hold your breath in, absorb the qualities deep within every part of your being. As you breathe out, expand and increase the power and momentum of the divine qualities you are calling forth through the power of the Holy Breath. As you hold your breath out of your body, project these magnificent God Qualities forth to all life. Repeat this exercise a minimum of three full breaths.

The Seven Fold Nature of Religion

(Continued from August 2005 - part II) 

Here in the Seventh Sphere the words of the Master Jesus ring through our consciousness: “Hitherto the Father worketh; but now the Father and I work”! Now all of these gifts of energy, all the teachings of the Brotherhood, and all of the beauty and sacrifice, illumination and devotion gained on the journey through the preceding spheres now becomes our responsibility to offer on the altar of humanity in ordered service.  

In this Seventh Sphere knowing the Will of God; illumined by understanding; loving all members of the human, elemental and angelic kingdoms; filled with beauty and opulence which is our birthright; understanding the powers of centripetal and centrifugal force; heeding the cry that comes from the hearts of those still in bondage; and answering that cry with a heart overflowing with good, through our feeling nature shall all life be affected!  

We have responded through the veil of flesh and the vibratory action of our outer consciousness to the magnetic pull of our hearts and bared our souls to the vital rays of truth, what in our religion distinguishes us from the masses? Could it be inner peace perhaps? But it must be more than that! Worship has begun to mean relaxation of the senses, seeing with our inner eyes the desires of the day.

How we long for the peace and sanctuary of the Great Universal Presence, far away from the thralldom of our own creation. We want to be what God intended us to be. We want to be free! We want to be master of our own energy! We want to be used as living examples of the freedom in which is embodied the sevenfold nature of religion. 

Everyone is strong in one aspect out of the seven because each of us is one of the seven types. Saint Frances of Assisi got his freedom and found his God walking through the fields; Saint Augustine in a cathedral; Saint Paul walking along the dusty road with bitterness in his heart toward the one who was to be his own great master.  At least one of our developed designs of worship is strong enough to have brought us to the feet of the masters. 

Beloved ones, each day take your soul through the Seven Temples. Discipline your soul! Abide for a time in each temple, at least until there is a response to your own vibration. If you are proud and stiff-necked and your knees know not how to bend, kneel at the feet of the great El Morya and learn from him the joy of surrender: “Thy Will my God, be done, not mine!” 

Do you know why mankind so easily makes the practice of religion a duty? Because they build their faith on someone else’s word. Therefore the practice of their religion is performed through duty and fear without feeling the truth, just because some one else said so. If you are mentally lazy and prefer to have another design your religion for you, enter into the heart of the temple in the Second Sphere and accept God’s Illumination. Don’t leave this temple until your understanding and not another’s, makes your service to life a happiness. For when your heart flame has revealed to you the cause behind your actions, you will begin to serve like the angels. Your feelings will be joyful and your heart will sing.  

Do you find that loving humanity is a chore? Then keep your soul centered in the Third Sphere until you hear the cries of those in need—their struggle, their hardships, their hopes and their dreams. Do not leave this sacred space until you feel divine love.  

Do you believe in austerity, in self-denial, rigid surrender of all your senses to the penitential doctrine built into your life during those times when the hair shirt and a vow of poverty was considered a virtue? Then abide for awhile in the Fourth Realm. Observe the garments of the angels, the beauty of your own celestial mother and the divine perfection of your God-self, not for vanity but for a world in need of beauty. Suppose that all the flowers were made square or black with no perfume, conserving the energy required to put color and scent within the flowers. Where then would humanity be?  

Then, on your journey into the Fifth Sphere, observe the combination of the rays that make certain powers available to you. Look at love and see how it draws the goodness of all life toward itself. Confirming your faith by practical witness, see what happens when you are shown a vortex of negativity no matter how small. See how it repels money, opulence, friends, health and every good and perfect thing available to humanity through divine oneness with the Universal Presence of God. 

Now, onto the Sixth Temple! Elaborate on the manifold blessings in your individual life. List them one by one, if you can even count them. Draw into your feeling world the love of the Master Jesus and beloved Nada which permeates this sphere. Do not leave until you feel the perfect peace which fills the atmosphere of this holy realm. 

Finally, enter the Seventh Sphere. Here you may consciously step into the arms of the sacred fire, asking this loving presence to remove from your lower bodies every lesser tendency, raising you by divine alchemy into the perfection of itself. Thus is the true nature of religion and what is expected and necessary in return for true spiritual development.

 The Unity of Purpose

How are each of you dealing with the new and higher frequencies of energy that are currently being directed in, through and around this beloved planet Earth? There are more and more beings that are becoming consciously aware of the subtle shifts taking place and are observing and utilizing energy in a way that they may have not formerly thought possible. Yet there still remains large numbers of lifestreams that have yet to allow themselves to acknowledge, respond to or even work with these influences in their lives and environment in the needed positive ways.

Remember that all higher energies increase the effect of any and all they come in contact with. If you maintain a happy and positive outlook on life and approach everything with this point of view, then this increased vibration shall continue to improve and make your life and interactions better.

On the other hand, if you have a difficult time dealing with all your day-to-day experiences, then you may become even more depressed without understanding the reason why. Due to this fact it is extremely important to pay particular attention to your feeling nature and how it may very easily throw you off balance and cause you to misplace your peace and harmony.

Any increase or enhancement in the intensity of energy will cause the reality of your entire being to change whether or not you acknowledge it. Reality is a quality or state of being which encompasses the totality of your existence and that may assist you in finding your true essence… but you must always remember that… “where your attention is, there you are!” So clearly, “reality” is not the same for all people because it will depend upon where we focus our attention. Often people who share the same space and seem to have a close relationship with one another, perceive life in very different ways and therefore personally develop and grow in diverse manners, experience life events differently and have dissimilar levels of consciousness.

The certainty of unity could become the reality of either beauty, comfort, safety, divine love or a combination of any of these or other qualities. Or the divine essence of unity could be the perfection of the accumulation of everything positive that has ever taken place in all life since the beginning of time, up to and including what is currently happening in this universe that harmonizes, unifies and brings life into a perfect state of oneness. Depending on how you choose to look at life… this may or may not be your reality!

The power of the quality of unity will with time become more apparent for in the not so distant future people everywhere will be given greater and greater opportunities to unify their inner energies. At times these opportunities may come about through what has in the past been thought of as discomfort or disease. But do not despair for this apparent lack of unity is just a mis-alignment at the cellular level. Do no concern yourselves so much with why this is occurring but see it as yet another occasion and opportunity in which to work with the value of unity but this time you can unify and align all your metabolic energies with the pure divine light!

Remember that what occurs in your etheric, mental and emotional vehicles outpictures itself in your physical vehicle, and what occurs in your physical vehicle may be seen in your etheric, mental and emotional bodies. Therefore, when asking for healing always ask for the healing and unification of all your vehicles within your current environment, for as you progress further upon your spiritual path, all your vehicles must become balanced and at-one with all else. You must become more aware of the specific activity and function of the essence of Unity. You must work to heal all the vehicles of humanity as well as this blessed planet Earth. By becoming a chela and choosing to belong to an enlightened activity of Light as your life’s endeavor… you have received the clarity of consciousness and the oneness of the purpose so that you may be more able to work perfectly in bringing forth healing, peace and harmony to this world and all who are associated with it.

Those who reside in the higher realms are also pulsations of light, just as you and all life on this planet, and they choose always to combine their lifeforce for the good of all life through energy and light. Those of you who see and hear this have also consciously made that choice. The process of ascension or upliftment, as some of you may chose to call it, requires that all of our life energies come into full alignment with the Divine Light, Love and Will. All misaligned or negative energies must come to the light to be transmuted and cleared. Beloved ones do not despair or question, “why me?” or “why this?” during this process… for the “me” within this process of unity is “us”… all of us… the ONENESS!

During this process of purification and transmutation you will soon all be able to move into and maintain your existence at a much higher vibratory level where everything is only pure light and divine love. The magnificent development of this spiritual unfoldment is dazzling, for your trust and faith only adds a stunning radiance to the light that shines forth from this process!

Message from the President

While we are experiencing the “lazy, hazy days of summer” here in the mountains of Arizona, parts of Australia are experiencing snow; the Far East recently weathered several typhoons; and parts of Europe and the United States are in the middle of a drought while other areas are receiving an abundance of moisture. Additionally, there are limitless areas of this world where the weather is absolutely perfect!

Beloved ones it is so easy to get caught up in our local environment and personal activities that we often tend to forget that we live in a wonderful world that is so much more than what we see around us with our limited physical vision. We must remember to expand our vision ever farther and pay attention to what is happening throughout the Earth truly becoming one with all life and our blessed planet. We can be of so much more assistance! And we must as the Earth continues to go through the many changes it must as she and all of us continue to accept the energy, vibration and consciousness of the new millennium.

In addition to blessing all the little inner workers in our bodies, making them more comfortable in their service to our lifestreams, we must bless the body elementals of all life. Instead of blessing only our homes, the surrounding towns and environment through the power of divine love, we must also remember to bless all the elementals—from the smallest gnomes, undines, sylphs and salamanders to the greatest Beings of Light who created, sustain and maintain our planet Earth. In so doing we continue to provide a wonderful service to life. We will also more easily come to recognizing and accepting our oneness with all life—truly becoming ONE with that life and the Universal Presence of the Divine! So be it, beloved I AM THAT I AM.

Returning now, to the mountains of Arizona and the Bridge Headquarters, there is much to share. Last month we finally closed on the remaining property on Long Island, New York. It has taken a very long time to complete this portion of the sale of 15 Meadow Glen Road but as everything is always in divine order the entire experience has been perfect.

We have also been very busy making several improvements to Headquarters. During this summer we have improved the drainage around the building, added a storage building, installed additional outdoor lighting, replaced and expanded one of the decks. We are currently painting the exterior of the house and within the next month we will repair the main driveway and create adequate parking for those who work and visit The Bridge.

Last summer you may recall that we donated to the Time Out Shelter, a local domestic violence facility. We outfitted all the children staying there for school providing them with new clothing, shoes and school supplies. This year we donated a sizeable sum to a local fire department to assist them in purchasing a thermal imaging camera. It will be used in several of the surrounding communities to assist in finding individuals in burning buildings where, especially children tend to hide. It will be used to locate those individuals who get lost in the forest, primarily at night. It can also be used to see inside propane tanks to measure the level of the fuel inside so that firefighters will know if these tanks create a hazard during a fire. I’m sure there are many other uses for this thermal imager that over time will be discovered. Needless to say it will save lives!

As always we continue to work on The Gift of Light and The Bridge website. We are also in the midst of planning various activities here at Headquarters. I find it hard to believe that it is almost time to send out the invitation for the New Year Conference!

 In closing I would like to wish each and every one of you, a wonderful month filled with exciting activities and beautiful learning experiences as you continue upon your individual paths toward enlightenment and spiritual freedom.

Rebecca Ann Laycock

President

 

 

 

“…To follow the Flame of Illumined Wisdom we need balance in our physical, etheric, mental and emotional bodies. A person who is one-sided is very limited in their life. No matter how advanced that one may appear to be, he or she will never reach the Shore of Ultimate Truth with such limitation. Beloved ones, there must be balance between the head, heart and hand. There must be balance between the activity and rest, balance between information and experience, between love and wisdom. One without such balance is able to step upon the spiritual path but will not proceed far along it...”
