jensen epistle 6 to pepe august 28 1990

Dear Pepe,

This will possibly be the last letter that I will be writing to you, as you state that you are at the end of the rope with me. Therefore there are certain things that I must clear up.

There are certain reasons that we are at an impasse and until these things are cleared up there is no chance of reaching an accord. First of all you have never accepted me as the authoritative establisher of the guardianship and the courts,[1] therefore you keep stating that I am not going by the plan of Mason, yet you have never put forth at any time his plan or the authority of Mason to set up a plan. I can see positively no authority for Mason, or any other guardian succeeding Shoghi Effendi to have such independence of an IBC. It is only an assumption on your part that Mason had such an authority, but this assumption cannot be backed up by fact. This false assumption arose, because Shoghi Effendi had such an authority, therefore it was assumed that all succeeding guardians had the same authority. In our numerous writings we have put forth and shown that Shoghi Effendi had the authority of an absolute

monarch because he was an Afnan[2] guardian. This authority came from his Afnan lineage, giving him the authority to implement or deploy the Babi administration, to set up the plan of God, which Mason expelled from the Baha'i faith. Thus the Afnan authority ceased with the expulsion of the Babi administration. With this Afnan, or Babi administration gone there is only one other type of administration mentioned in The Sacred Will and Testament and that is the Aghsan administration which is a functional International Baha'i Council/Universal House of Justice (IBC/UHJ). The only administration that Mason could deploy was that of the Aghsan. If Mason was not an Aghsan he would not even have the authority to state, as he did, that he was the guardian of the Baha'i Faith, and that Shoghi Effendi was the guardian of the Babi Faith. When he stated that he was the guardian of the Baha'i Faith he was stating that he was an Aghsan guardian, for only an Aghsan guardian could be the guardian of the Baha'i Faith. This dogma was put forth by Mason and not by me for it is in his writings in the "Glad Tidings".

I have already explained to you in other epistles that the Afnan guardian was an absolute monarch, meaning that Shoghi Effendi had the authority to set up the plan of God with no interference from anyone. 'Abdu'l-Baha gave Shoghi Effendi the Divine Plan to set up in the world. This is the Plan of God. This is the only plan that we can follow. I didn't know what "Mason's spiritual goals" (as you put it) were, or "The Plan of Mason" which I thought was the "Plan of God," as found in the Covenant of Baha'u'llah, and as delineated in the Will and Testament (W&T) of 'Abdu'l-Baha. Mason Remey spent almost his entire life in protecting and promoting this "Plan of God". The IBC/UHJ was definitely part of that Plan. Mason claims his appointment to the guardianship was by Shoghi Effendi appointing him to the presidency of that Council, because it was the embryonic UHJ. The guardian is the sacred head and member for life of that body, therefore due to the fact that Mason was the head of that embryonic UHJ he was the guardian of the Cause of God. This is the only authority for him to be guardian, and this is the "Plan of God".

Two weeks before the National Convention, of which I was the delegate for the State of Missouri, when I received Mason's Proclamation I immediately accepted him as the guardian and I told my wife so. At no time after that had I ever deserted Mason and I remained a loyal supporter. When the "Hands" took over after the passing of Shoghi Effendi they did away with the Plan of God and set one up of their own and screwed everything all up. I always thought that "Mason's spiritual goals" were to reestablish that Divine Plan. We then were in synchronization and

there was no problem. I had never heard of "the plan of Mason" until 1985. You mentioned it in a letter that you sent to me, but it didn't register in my mind and then about a year ago when you again mentioned it in one of your letters and it still didn't register that you were talking about another plan. Up until now I never thought that Mason had set up a plan of his own that would be different from the "plan of God". I had never found any place in Mason's or your writings a plan entitled the "Plan of Mason." So I didn't know that one existed. At no time have you or anyone else come out and tell us what the "Plan of Mason" was. Both Danny S. and Kay Woods have repeatedly asked you tell them what the "Plan of Mason" was, and you have completely avoided this request.

'Abdu'l-Baha provided in the W&T for an Aghsan administration to follow the Afnan administration of Shoghi Effendi. Mason said that these are two distinct administrations. In setting up this distinction Shoghi appointed his Aghsan successor i.e., 'Abdu'l- Baha's "dear son", by appointing him the president of the IBC/UHJ. Mind you Shoghi did not appoint himself the president and Mason the vice president. The reason being he was an Afnan (an absolute monarch) and Mason an Aghsan, and only an Aghsan could sit on the throne of David and had to function within the frame-work of a council. When Mason set up the second council, the second IBC, after the first one set up by Shoghi had been aborted by the "hands" he made all the members vice presidents, and made Joel Marangella the president, in the manner that Shoghi Effendi did before him, thus assuming the role of an Afnan guardian, an absolute monarch. Mason only, could function as the president of that IBC being an Aghsan. Joel was neither an Afnan, or Aghsan therefore it was improper for Mason to appoint him to the presidency of that council, or for him ever to become the guardian. Mason also did not have the authority to appoint the members of the IBC as Shoghi did, as that authority vanished with the passing of Shoghi and the expulsion of the Babi administration. Shoghi, as an Afnan (an absolute monarch) guardian, had the authority to appoint the members of the first IBC. Without someone with the authority to appoint the members of the IBC to replace the one that was aborted by the "hands" the Cause of God is dead. As the Aghsan guardian Mason must have known that he didn't have that authority.

Mason recognized this thus he then abolished the second IBC with Joel as its president. As an Aghsan guardian he knew he didn't have the prerogative that Shoghi had in functioning independently of a council or to set up an IBC, besides he did not want to function as the president of the council, as he said he didn't want them to tell him how to spend his money. He wrote to James Meyer on 18 July 1967:

"And I must be assured of this and at the same time I must conserve my independence as Guardian of the Faith

and not have any Baha'i organization over me and dictating to me how I should spend the Guardian's fund which, by the way never averaged more than $80.00 to $100 a month and at times far less.

So, Mason had to be something more than just be the guardian. He stated that every thing that Shoghi did was wrong so he threw out everything and started anew. I now find that he threw out the IBC and continuing it in Israel, for a plan of his own, thus he threw out the plan of God. As the guardian he knew that he didn't have the authority to do this, much less to create a new plan.

Mason knew that Jesus was yet to come. So he made the statement that Baha'u'llah was not the return of Jesus Christ, but was the Lord of Hosts. Baha'u'llah did not fulfill the prophecies for the return of Jesus, i.e. a High Priest after the order of Melchizedek, but he did for the return of Christ, i.e. a descendant of David that is anointed. Coming from the Catholic persuasion of the Episcopal Church Mason evidently didn't know the meaning of the word "Christ"--a descendant of David that is anointed--which Baha'u'llah fulfills, and is thus a Manifestation of God. But Jesus returns as the High Priest as prophesied in Zechariah 3:1[3] and is not a Manifestation. Undoubtedly Mason didn't separate Jesus' coming from the coming of Christ which are two different persons. He therefore proposed that Baha'u'llah was not the second coming of Christ (although he became a Baha'i on the basis that Baha'u'llah fulfilled the prophecies for the second coming of Christ) thus it becomes evident that Mason claimed this station for himself. In a 22 July 1967 Lillian Lassus wrote to Mrs Meyer and Baha'i friends:

"I felt confused about what the Guardian had said on page three of his Jan. 1967 letter. 'Therefore we should look to the not far distant future for the fulfillment of this prophecy Matt. 16:27' 'For the son of Man shall come in the Glory of His Father with His angels'. I considered this prophecy fulfilled in the coming of Baha'u'llah ....LILLIAN LASSUS."

Here Mason predicts that this prophecy of "the Son of man shall come in the Glory of his Father" undoubtedly claiming this station for himself. "Son of man" means what it says "a man" that has a man for his father. 'Abdu'l-Baha explains that the terms "Son" and "Father" refers to the potency of their respective revelations and not to their physical selves. Jesus was called the "Son of God" because he gave that revelation e.g. like the ice- cream man is called the ice-cream man because he dispenses

ice cream. In this prophecy Jesus was referring to the potency of Baha'u'llah's revelation of "the Father" in comparison with his own revelation of "the Son". For instance Abraham was called "the friend" of God, and Muhammad "the comforter". In the Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures it translates Matt. 16:27 as: "Is about the Son of man to be coming in the glory of the Father [Baha'u'llah] of him with the angels of him, and then he will give back to each one according to the practice of him". The term "Christ" i.e., a descendant of David that is anointed, applies to only two of the nine divine Manifestations in the Adamic cycle. Both give their descendancy from David. Baha'u'llah in His Proclamation stated that He sat on the throne of David, thus fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah 9:6,7:

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

"Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgement and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of host will perform this [not Mason]. (KJV)

Here Isaiah makes it clear that the Lord of Host is the everlasting father, not Mason as he claims.

In a letter of Sept. 13, 1969, sent to Charley Murphy for distribution, declaring Rex King as Satan forever he proclaimed that starting in 1970 that a whole new cycle[4] would be established.

"Charley - I am advised that Rex is making a round of my friends in Europe, but from your recent letter and a few others I rejoice that I have firm support to carry me through the remaining months of this year 1969 after which will come the new cycle that begins January 1st, 1970, that will be the cycle of accomplishment of all things promised to take place in the Dispensation of Baha'u'llah.

This would require the advent of a divine Manifestation, like the dispensation of Moses, or the Christian dispensation. The dispensation of Baha'u'llah is to last for five hundred thousand years and it will be a thousand years before another Manifestation of God appears. In the same letter to Charley above

Mason wrote:

Charley, you should make a special study of the cycles of the Faith that are explained in the volume of "Some Answered Questions". This will relieve you of having to answer many questions of the Friends..."

THE UNIVERSAL CYCLES

"Question.--What is the real explanation of the cycles which occur in the world of existence?

"Answer.--.....Each of the Divine Manifestations has likewise a cycle, and during the cycle his laws and commandments prevail and are performed. When his cycle is completed by the appearance of a new Manifestation, a new cycle begins. In this way cycles begin, end, and are renewed, until a Universal cycle is completed in the world, when important events and great occurrences will take place which entirely efface every trace and every record of the past; then a new universal cycle begins in the world, for this universe has no beginning. We have before stated proofs and evidences concerning this subject; there is no need of repetition.

"Briefly, we say a universal cycle in the world of existence signifies a long duration of time, and innumerable and incalculable periods and epochs. In such a cycle the Manifestations appear with splendour in the realm of the visible, until a great and universal Manifestation makes the world the centre of his radiance. His appearance causes the world to attain to maturity, and the extension of his cycle is very great. Afterwards other Manifestations will arise under his shadow, who according to the needs of the time will renew certain commandments relating to material questions and affairs, while remaining under his shadow.

"We are in the cycle which began with Adam, and it universal Manifestation is Baha'u'llah." (Some Answered Questions pp. 183- 184)

Therefore by Mason claiming for himself to begin a whole new cycle in January 1, 1970 he was proclaiming that he was a divine Manifestation. Only a divine Manifestation could make the changes Mason performed.

Each time a divine Manifestation appears He becomes the Center of the Radiant Circle. When Moses appeared he was the Center of the Radiant Circle. He gave the laws, ordinances and teachings for a new dispensation. God instructed him to make a box--the Ark of the Covenant--and put his writings in it. He then instructed him to build a tabernacle (a tent) and divide it in

6

two by a curtain. The first chamber was to be the Holy Place (the Sanctuary) and the other room was to be the Holy of Holies.[5] In this room he was instructed to place the Ark of the Covenant which contained the laws, ordinances and the Covenant of Moses. Moses then appointed his brother Aaron as the High Priest (who then was the Distinguished Individual) and that only he and his descendants could be the High Priest and only the High Priest could enter the Holy of Holies. With the High Priest standing in the Holy of Holies, before the Ark of the Covenant, this room then was called the presence of God, and thus the center of the radiant circle. This tabernacle was moved from place to place and where ever it went that place was the center of the radiant circle. Later Solomon built a stone temple with the Holy Place occurring before the Holy of Holies, and he had the High Priest place the Ark of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies. This Holy of Holies in Jerusalem was then the presence of God and the Center of the Radiant Circle. It remained that way until the Jews bowed down to Estoreth, (Semeramis). Then God allowed Nebuchadnezzar to conquer Jerusalem and tear down the temple and bring the Ark of the Covenant to Babylon where it became lost. The Jews were then apostate until the coming of Jesus who was the center of the radiant circle.

The second temple in the time of Jesus didn't have the Ark of the Covenant in it therefore it didn't have the presence of God and was not the Center of the Radiant Circle. Jesus could not put his Covenant in the second temple because it was built by hands:

"But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made by hands, that is, not of this creation) [the revelation of the Bab as the sanctuary and the revelation of Baha'u'llah as the Holy of Holies]" (Heb. 9:11).

Jesus was descended from the tribe of Judah[6] and not from Aaron. Only a high priest after the order of Aaron could enter the temple built by hand, therefore he could not place his

Covenant in this temple that was still standing[7] But Jesus was a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek[8] and he entered behind the inner shrine behind the curtain, "where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek" (Heb. 6:19,20) and is the Distinguished Individual. Both Jesus Christ and Jesus the High Priest are the Distinguished Individual of their time.

Therefore Jesus on his return is a High Priest after the order of Melchizedek standing in the Holy of Holies (Baha'u'llah's Revelation) and is the Distinguished Individual.

Baha'u'llah's dispensation is the macrocosm of which Moses' was the microcosm. He gave laws, ordinances and teaching for a world wide civilization. Before this could go into effect it had to go through many tests that caused all the Baha'is to fail and it would have come to a complete end if God had not provided for Jesus the High Priest who was behind the curtain to return and establish His (Baha'u'llah's) Kingdom. The reason being as the Distinguished Individual, Baha'u'llah, was the Center of the Radiant Circle but as all people failed it was essential to have Jesus the High Priest standing in the Holy of Holies to return to establish His Kingdom. Jesus on his return is Jesus the Lamb with seven horns and seven eyes that took the scroll (the Covenant of Baha'u'llah and the Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha) from the right hand of Mason; then will the four Beast nations--the United States, England, France and Russia--become the four living creatures, or the first Baha'i States and they and the twenty four elders fall down before the Lamb:

"and he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated of the throne. And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and with golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints; and they sang a new song, saying,..."

Mason proceeded to appoint "Elders of the Baha'i Epoch" with himself being the Lamb:

"The Second Guardian of the Baha'i Faith, Charles Mason Remey, wishes to announce to the world the appointment

of the first five Elders of the Baha'i Epoch. They are as follows:

• 1. Donald Harvey - member at large, wherever his business may call him.

  2. Bernard Fillon - Tuffen Switzerland.

  3. Charley Murphy - Boulder, Colorado, U.S.A.

  4. Jacques Shoghomonian - Marseille, France.

  5. Monir Derakhchan - Teheran, Iran.

     1. signed Mason Remey"

Mason appointed them to be the first five of the twenty four elders that are to fall down before the Lamb in Rev. 5:8. In 1972 Mason told his first Elder, Donald Harvey, and his fourth Elder, Jacques Shoghomonian, that he was the Lamb. In a "Text prepared by Donald Harvey with the assistance of Jacques Soghomonian" that had visited the guardian, Mason Remey, on September 5, 1972 they asked Mason if he was the Lamb and he responded that he was the Lamb:

"To another question put forth to Mason concerning the Revelation of John the Divine and the corresponding chapter of the New Testament in the Bible where it is spoken of the Lamb of God who will sit upon the throne of God surrounded by the faithful and where he will unfurl and unveil the scrolls, Mason confirmed that the Lamb of God is in fact the Guardian of the Cause of Baha'u'llah. These verses revealed by John the Apostle in the chapter of Revelation in the very Last Days would be literally accomplished in due time" (on top of page 2 of the xerox copy of the document, enclosed).

You can't say the Lamb without saying, or meaning Jesus the Lamb. When you say Jesus to most people it means Jesus Christ. As Mason said that Baha'u'llah was not the return of Jesus Christ. Mason here was saying, or meaning, that he (Mason) was the return of Jesus Christ--the new Manifestation that sets up a new cycle-- although Baha'u'llah stated in the Kitab-I-Aqdas that there would not be another for a full thousand-years. Thus Mason did away with the Baha'i Faith and called his new Dispensation the Abba Father faith.

When Mason claimed to be the Distinguished Individual it wasn't on the basis of him being the guardian, as you put forth in your letter to me of July 30, 1990, but on the basis that he was the Lamb--the return of Jesus Christ. It isn't for me to condemn him. It is up to God to judge him and He already has. All

9

we can do is to pray to God, as Mason prayed for Millie Collins to not leave his soul in the most nethermost gloom for eternity[9] our only hope is that he repented, and was forgiven by God before he passed on. Dr. Opal sent him a letter in December 1973 explaining to him that he could not be the Lamb of Revelation chapter five (Revised Standard Version), for Mason was the king seated upon the throne and the Lamb was before the throne and among the elders:

"And between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders, I saw a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, with seven horns and with seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into the earth; and he went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who was seated on the throne" (Rev. 5:6,7).

When I wrote the above, yesterday, I became overwrought. I could not contain myself. I wept! This was the worst scenario that I could imagine!

However, what Mason does, as Jesus Christ, is even worse. He abolishes Baha'u'llah's administration, as found in the Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha and replaces it with his own, starting a new cycle that is to last 1000 years until the next Manifestation appears. The "Hands" did away with the first of the twin pillars of the Baha'i faith i.e. the guardianship. Mason did away the other twin pillar of the Faith, the UHJ, replacing it with his own administrative body. Either he or one of his successors will appoint 24 "hands" of the faith from among his pro-guardian Baha'is, who will then be the 24 elders, or chief disciples of the faith. As the "Hands" are appointed by and are under the complete direction, or control of the guardian they will not be a council, or a UHJ, but just an advisory board to the guardian, but he himself, will make all the decisions, making the guardian as an absolute monarch, with 24 advisors. This administration is Mason's creation out of himself that replaces the administration of Baha'u'llah. He does this under his self proclaimed authority of being the Lamb the return of Jesus Christ. In a letter to Madeline Byers, of May 2, 1967 Mason writes:

"When we have sufficient number under the Guardianship we can then form an adequate administration under the Baha'i Faith of Baha'u'llah and later I, or my successors will appoint the 24 elders or chief disciples or hands of the faith for this Baha'i Dispensation that is not yet born. But before all these developments we must have more members who accept the

10

Guardianship."

These twenty four elders being "Hands" of the Faith will be under the absolute control of the Guardian. On Feb. 13, 1968 Mason wrote a letter to Nancy A. Hardaway saying:

"I am glad to know that you are studying my letter of January 1967. This is the message that we believers under the Guardianship should concentrate upon and teach today, because this teaches of and explains the four and twenty elders or pro guardians that are the outstanding characteristics of the coming Dispensation of Baha'u'llah."

"You have done well to study Answered Questions by 'Abdu'l-Baha where on page 67 and the pages that follows - the 24 elders are explained. They will not appear until after the Great Global Catastrophe when the Guardian of the Faith with the pro guardians or Elders to advise him and work with him will handle all the problems of the Faith-such will be the administration of the Faith in the coming Golden age of peace upon earth that will last for a thousand years until the coming of the next manifestation that John Farraby wrote about in the last chapter of his book "All Things Made New" of which you have a copy."

Dr. Opal wrote him a letter just before he passed on explaining to him that he could not be the Lamb, as he was the king seated on the throne and the Lamb is before the throne among the elders. Let us all hope that he repented before he passed on.

When I wrote the above I became overwrought and so over come that I wasn't able to continue on this writing until now the next day.

I agree with you that Baha'u'llah was that the Center of the Radiant Circle and this was passed down to 'Abdu'l-Baha and then to Shoghi Effendi, then to the twin pillars, the IBC with Mason as its president, but, because Mason screwed up and abolished the IBC for a "plan of his own," I, the Lamb--the return of Jesus the High Priest--took the scroll out of the right hand of Mason, and I hold it here in my hand and will establish this in the world, I will place my crown in the established UHJ:

"Take from them silver and gold, and make a crown [a halo], and set it upon the head of Joshua ... the high priest and say to him 'Thus says the Lord of hosts [Baha'u'llah], 'Behold the man whose name is the Branch [Pepe]: for he shall grow up in his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord. It is he who shall build

11

the temple of the Lord [the UHJ], and shall bear royal honor, and shall sit and rule upon his throne, And there shall a priest by his throne, and peaceful understanding shall be between them both."' And the crown shall be in the temple [UHJ] of the Lord...." (Zechariah 6:11-14).

No Aghsan guardian has any authority to function outside of the IBC/UHJ.

"Unto this body all things must be referred. It enacteth all ordinances and regulations that are not to be found in the explicit Holy Text. By this body all things must be resolved and the guardian of the Cause of God is its sacred head and distinguished member for life of that body." (W&T p. 14).

"Mason Remey dedicated the greatest part of his life" to uphold the Provisions of 'Abdu'l-Baha's W&T including the one quoted above. By Mason creating a new thing out of himself he was going against what he had dedicated the greatest part of his life. Therefore he has abandoned the guardianship functioning as the president of the IBC/UHJ he therefore has abandoned the "spiritual goals" that he had dedicated the greatest part of his life to.

Mason concealed his plan in a covert manner to deceive the sincere. He did it by putting part of it in one letter and another part in another letter etc, thus he scattered it among the friends and nobody would know its entirety. It is plain that if it became known too soon it would be rejected, for all believers are to guard the Cause of God:

"Thus, with the greatest regret, I counsel you saying:--'Guard ye the Cause of God, protect His law and have the utmost fear of discord. This is the foundation of belief of the people of Baha (may my life be offered up for them).' His Holiness, the Exalted one, (the Bab) is the Manifestation of Unity and Oneness of God and the Forerunner of the Ancient Beauty. His Holiness the Abha Beauty (may my life be a sacrifice for His steadfast friends) is the Supreme Manifestation of God and the Dayspring of His Most Divine Essence. All others are servants unto Him and do his bidding." Unto the Most Holy Book every one must turn and all that is not expressly recorded therein must be referred to the Universal House of Justice. That which this body, whether unanimously of by a majority doth carry, that is verily the Truth and the Purpose of God himself. Whoso doth deviate therefrom is verily of them that love discord, hath shown forth malice and turned away from The Lord of the Covenant. By this House is meant the Universal House of Justice

12

which is to be elected from all countries, that is from those part in the East and West where the loved ones are to be found, after the manner of the customary elections in Western countries such as those of England.

"It is incumbent upon these members (of the Universal House of Justice) to gather in a certain place and deliberate upon all problems which have caused difference, questions that are obscure and matters that are not recorded in the Book. Whatsoever they decide has the same effect as the Text itself...." (Will and Testament pp. 19,20).

The reason that Mason threw-out the above second pillar of the Faith for a plan of his own was that he hated the "plan of God" and he hated Shoghi Effendi for deploying that plan. In some of his writings in his memoirs he explained that Shoghi was a hard task master and it was so bad that he had to take long vacations from Mt. Carmel. At the same time Mason was jealous of Shoghi and envied his functioning as a supreme absolute monarch sans a council, while he was harnessed to function only as the president of the IBC/UHJ which made all the decisions and he had just one vote in the process. He blamed Shoghi for this, therefore he called Shoghi a bunch of names and he threw out the provisions of the Will and Testament, those things that he detested. He hated the light therefore in must remain in darkness. In a letter to James Meyer of 18 July 1967 he wrote:

"And I must be assured of this and at the same time I must conserve my independence as Guardian of the faith and not have any Baha'i organization over me and dictating to me how I should spend the guardian's fund...In my general letter to the Baha'i World, both Pro and Sans Guardian, of January 1967 I explain at length how the First Guardian Shoghi Effendi built his Administration about the Babi Faith and not about the Baha'i Faith. Shoghi Effendi was a very confused soul. He was an ego maniac. He flaunted and disobeyed the laws of the Aqdas and created all this confusion himself. Therefore the only thing for me to do has been to explain this condition in my letters to the Friends telling frankly that my first step is to wipe out and to efface everything that Shoghi Effendi did and then inaugurate a new Faith based upon the teachings of Baha'u'llah (and not upon the Bab)...." (Faithfully in El Baha, (s) Mason Remey).

The "new Faith" that Mason set up was not based upon the teachings of Baha'u'llah but was based upon his claim to be the Lamb--the Distinguished Individual--the return of Jesus Christ i.e. a Manifestation of God, starting a new cycle in the

13

Dispensation of Baha'u'llah that was to endure for a full thousand years until another Manifestation like himself would appear. It would replace the second pillar of the twin institutions i.e. the IBC/UHJ as found in the writings of Baha'u'llah and delineated in the Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha; Mason was thus setting up the guardianship as a supreme absolute monarchy with himself and his successors appointing twenty four hands, from among the disciples these would be the twenty four elders that would only be advisors to him. This scheme was to function in the place of the UHJ.

Mason does this in violation of the Aqdas that states from Baha'u'llah's Manifestation there would not be another for a full thousand years and any man who makes such a claim is a lying impostor. Thus Mason flaunted and disobeyed the laws of the Aqdas the same thing that he accused Shoghi of, was what he himself was guilty. Mason was a very confused soul, but he wasn't crazy, for in that same letter to James Meyer he stated:

"I hear through various sources that the Friends are being told that I am losing my faculties and that "someone" is issuing statements in my name. Don't believe any reports such as these. Were my mind slipping I would be the first one to retire from the guardianship and pass it on to my successor."

If his mind was slipping then all what he did would be forgivable. But as he did all this in full control of his mind. He knew what he was doing, he then is guilty of violation of the Covenant. As the "Hands" were Covenant-breakers by going against the first pillar of the guardianship and expelling it out of the Baha'i faith, so Mason going against the other pillar the UHJ and replacing it with an absolute monarchy he is in violation of the Covenant. If anybody in this world knew the Covenant as delineated by 'Abdu'l-Baha it was Mason Remey and then to go against it and establish something of his own is tantamount to committing the unforgivable sin of "Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit." He saw the light. He hated the light and turned away from it. See chapter XXXI, or page 145 of Some Answered Questions for explanations.

Mason is also in violation of the Law of the Aqdas; claiming to be a Manifestation of God ere the laps of 1000 years and setting up a New Cycle in 1970, replacing Baha'u'llah's Administration, making himself a lying imposter:

"Whoso layeth claim to a Revelation direct from God, ere the expiration of a full thousand years, such a man is assuredly a lying imposter. We pray God that He may graciously assist him to retract and repudiate such

14

claim. Should he repent, God will, no doubt, forgive him. If, however, he persisteth in his error, God will assuredly, send down one who will deal mercilessly with him. Terrible, indeed, is God in punishing! Whosoever interpreteth this verse otherwise than its obvious meaning is deprived of the Spirit of God and of His mercy which encompasseth all created things. Fear God, and follow not your idle fancies. Nay, rather follow the bidding of your Lord, the almighty, the All-Wise" (#6. Kitab-I-Aqdas).

Mason in his September 13, 1969 to Charley condemns Rex King and sends him to hell as Satan for all time both in this life and the world to come. Rex by scheming sought a station above his station the same as Lucifer in the Old Testament and/or Nimrod the Satan of the Adamic cycle, then Mason does the same damnable thing.

I feel betrayed! I had the utmost love and admiration for Mason, trusting in him and being loyal unto him, defending him when all had turned aside from him, not letting even the tiniest doubt ever to enter my being; yet, all these things were going on behind my back. He had so hid away his evil and devious purpose, a bit here and a bit there in the various letters to the friends, and none of this came to light until I started researching to find the missing "Plan of Mason", then it all came crashing down upon me like a ton of bricks. The only reason I can find for all of this is that in the Tablet of Ahmad where it says "....through Whom truth shall be distinguished from error and the wisdom of every command shall be tested." The twin pillars of the guardianship and the Universal House of Justice is the very bed rock of the administration of Baha'u'llah, and before the Kingdom can be established both independently must go through the most gruesome test to the point of extinction. The "Hands" succeeded in eliminating the guardianship out of the defunct administration; then Mason finished off the rest of Baha'u'llah's administration by eliminating the Universal House of Justice out of the "World Order of Baha'u'llah," leaving nothing but a dead corpse.

As for the twenty four elders of the Faith, they are the ones that had separated themselves from both of the above corruptions and didn't join and support another spurious group under one of false guardians i.e., one who claims to be guardian but is not a ghusn and is thus in violation of the Master's Will and Testament. Three have already come forth that are seated independent thrones[10] by recognizing and supporting the Lamb[11].

The other twenty one will appear in the months ahead, as we are almost into Armageddon[12].

The positive part of all this is that Mason was right in his insight that the Lamb was yet to come i.e., the return of Jesus (but not the Christ) and that he would be the promised Distinguished Individual and he would establish the Administration of Baha'u'llah i.e., the courts and the Branch[13] and that the Elders would bow down before the Lamb; but what he was confused about was as to who the Elders were that were to come and advise the king[14].

For you Pepe to continue to support Mason in his violation is inviting the same everlasting punishment of Mason, that is if he hadn't repented before he died. Also for you to pray to Mason in hell, to pray for you do you think his prayers reaches the ears of God? And if they did would it do any good?

In your letter to Dr. Leland and Opal, dated 22 Oct. 1985, that Mason had a plan of his own and that it was different from the "Plan of God". You wrote:

"Mason had a plan of his own and, I must confess, I was a very definite part of that plan.....but, as his plan did not materialize, my part in that plan could not materialize either and God's Plan prevailed....God's Plan will always prevail. PS: I will always remember Dr. Opal. She was a great help to Mason and me when we were really in need and that is hard to forget, come what may."

Now several years later why are you now going by the defunct "Plan of Mason" that didn't materialize then and it has not materialized now and it will never materialize as it is the devious "Plan of Mason" and not the "Plan of God". Do you want to share his fate? You keep quoting the second "Hidden Word" of Baha'u'llah, that one should make his decision with Justice and that you must see with your own eyes and not through the eyes of Mason, or any one else. Had you been seeing with your own eyes and not through the eyes of Mason you would have seen through the overwhelming evidences and proofs provided you. You kept saying that you didn't go by proofs' even going so far as to say that there is no such thing as proofs. By closing your eyes to "God's Plan" and going by the memory of Mason is like trying to ride a dead horse.

It is quite obvious that after you saw that "Mason's Plan" was not "God's Plan" and that it came out of Mason himself and that you now choose to go by "Mason's Plan" over "God's Plan" is that you, like Mason, also hate "God's Plan"; and like Mason it is also detestable for you to sit on the throne of David at the head of the IBC/UHJ. Therefore it is also obvious that you must oppose me and God's heavenly army because we insist that "God's Plan" must prevail.

You are now doing the same that Mason was doing when he transferred his base qualities to Shoghi Effendi. You are now transferring your base qualities to the Lamb of God which is open blasphemy. When you blasphemy me you are blaspheming God for God sent me to straighten you out. In your letter to Neal on Friday 13 of July 1990 you made some very serious snide remarks against Jesus II. You should have never gotten out of bed that day for it was here that you became absolutely nasty against God's Promised one. You wrote:

"On page 66, you wrote: "All this leads to him trying to usurp the station of that distinguished individual, the Lamb, etc. for himself. This is what Satan in the old testament who sought a station above his own and then was cast out from heaven down to the ground below in disgrace. ".......Now, if that doesn't fit Jensen to the "T", I don't know what does. Mason made whatever claims he made in the station of Guardian which he believed himself to have a reasonable claim. Jensen, on the other hand, assumed all those high-sounding spiritual titles for himself. The one best suitable to him is, in my opinion the Seventh "Angle" (intentional). While serving his prison "stretch", realizing himself the Seventh Angel, not only SOUNDED the horn but took it with him when he left prison and has been BLOWING HIS HORN ever since."

On comments on page 66 of Neal's letter where Satan sought a station above he station and was cast out of heaven down to the ground in disgrace, you state: "Now if that doesn't fit Jensen to a "T" I don't know what does." If you will just open your eyes for a moment you will readily see that it wasn't I but Mason that was cast down. He started out after he made his proclamation with a good size number of strong believers and when he left this plane he left in defeat. Those that were left you stated could be counted on the fingers of one hand. All the rest of the people in the Baha'i world despised him; whereas I started out in the prison from scratch and now we have increased into the thousands and people are coming in, in numbers. And of the many diadems on

17

my head[15] (titles) any good Christian will tell you that they are the titles of Jesus on His return and the only two knights of Baha'u'llah that came under the guardianship of Mason and remained loyal to Mason up until the writing of this letter are my wife and I. So I am the only one that fulfills the prophecy for the knight on the white horse of Rev. 19:11-16. Nobody else in the world fulfilled that prophecy. The diadems are titles that this knight has. You just mentioned a few of them. Then you make a very slurring remark "Jensen,....assumed all those highsounding spiritual titles for himself. The one best suitable to him is, in my opinion the seventh "Angle" (intentional)", by you being so uncouth that you descended to the lower plain smearing my veracity. Then you go on to jab Neal and I saying we "are both determined to enrobe Mason in the so-called 'dirty jacket' that you divested yourself of." The jacket that Mason was already enrobed in was the one that he wove every bit of the fiber of his dirty robe himself, which are all the dastardly things he wrote and said in letters he sent to the friends, that sent them all fleeing from him to divest themselves of all his "spiritual garbage". The "dirty jacket" that I wore, "while serving my prison stretch" (as you put it) on the other hand, is one of the main proofs that showed I fulfilled the criteria for the return of Jesus, and will cause the whole world to become Baha'i by the end of the century, if you could but see with your own eyes and not through the eyes of Mason. In your own words you testify to this:

"The believers at Deer Lodge sent me copies of their last Bulletin containing statements about Dr. Leland and a reproduction of M.M. Wilkin's letter telling of her experience in finding her way "back home" to the Guardianship. It was most effective and the issue as a whole very well gotten up. How often I think it very significant that God has seen fit to place the only meaningful activity of the Baha'i Faith (under the Guardianship) in the hands of a small group of Baha'is who are inmates in a prison. When one thinks of how long the Faith has fallen in the hands of so many false bearers of the Baha'i standard; -- it is very significant that the Deer Lodge Group have taken up the stand. It is very refreshing, indeed and, in my personal opinion, represents the best possible starting point for a whole new (and clean) growth for the Faith. If these few friends are truly sincere and work towards the true goals of Baha'u'llah, what could be more significant? If they, too, fail to make the grade....then I'm afraid it will be the end which Abdu'l-Baha warned of and that God would have to raise a new race of men to carry on His Message to the World.

Pepe to Opal 3/4/78

You were like "a babe in the woods". In your early years you were indoctrinated into the Catholic faith. When you were young Catholics were forbidden to read the Bible, I know. I was around at that time. I take it that you didn't, like most Catholics, know the scripture and you admit that you were ignorant of the Baha'i Faith when you met Mason. Mason was not only tall in stature but he was a giant in knowledge of both the scriptures and the Baha'i Faith. When he convinced you that he was the guardian of the Faith it was then easy for him to indoctrinate you. There was no way for you to evaluted the veracity of his indoctrination into "his plan" with him being such a nice person and you being both ignorant of the Baha'i Faith and of the scriptures, and as you say, "it is not always easy to have to change ones past convictions." Thus, you have been seeing through the eyes of Mason rather than your own. Therefor it was as easy to lead you astray as it was "to take candy from a baby", but it was not that easy to lead the other Baha'is astray that were knowledgable both in the scriptures and the Baha'i Faith. That is why they all left him.

I admit that he desired very much for me to succeed him in his spiritual activities as well as the material ones....

Pepe to Leland 3/19/76

"....so many people turn to me for information and I find myself expressing Mason's thoughts so often that there is little left in my mind for my own thoughts.

Pepe to Leland 3/19/76

When Mason indoctrinated you into "his plan", he did not give you any proofs that he was the Lamb that the twenty-four elders fall down before. Nor did he give you any proofs that he was "the son of man coming in the glory of his Father." Nor did he give you any proofs when he set up his new cycle, that was supposed to begin in Jan. 1, 1970, in which he was thus a Manifestation of God and said that his cycle was to endure for a full thousand years. He did this even though Baha'u'llah stated in the Most Holy Book of Laws, the Aqdas, that whoever makes such a claim is a lying imposter. Again he did not give you proofs when he broke the Covenant, by doing the same damnable thing that the "Hands" did when they did away with the guardianship and were expelled from the Faith by Mason for breaking the Covenant. Only this time Mason was breaking the Covenant by doing away with the other great pillar of the Baha'i Faith, the UHJ. You just accepted his indoctrination in total because his type of indoctrination was just plain old "brain-washing". You should have required proof from him when he assumed all those high-sounding spiritual titles for himself and committed all those dastardly violations. You state that:

"Mason made whatever claims he made in the station of the Guardian which he believed himself to have a reasonable claim." (Friday 13th letter to Neal)

There are no Baha'i writings, or any scriptures, nor is it found anywhere else, where guardian can claim and assume all those high-sounding spiritual titles for himself and commit all those dastardly violations on the basis of being the guardian.

20

On the other hand, I have shown you very definitely how I fulfilled prophecy for the return of Jesus the High Priest, in Zechariah Chapter three, when I had the "Stone with seven eyes before me", when I was in the Montana State Prison that has a stone wall with seven watch towers.

A Mormon[16] prophet at Salt Lake, Utah had his first vision that Jesus would come from the sky (Big Sky) in Deer Lodge, Montana.

THE FIRST VISION

On April 15th of 1862, while riding on his horse in the mountains of Utah, Williams was overcome by a majestic visitation from the north in the direction of Deer Lodge, in which he saw the return of Jesus leading the armies of heaven riding "a countless host of horses" out from between two "massive pillars of light." These two "massive pillars" correspond to the two mountains of brass from which the four chariots of the armies of heaven are prophesied to come forth from, in Zechariah chapter 6. The two mountains of brass are Lincoln and Butte Montana. Lincoln is on the north and Butte is on the south of the Deer Lodge Valley.

His first vision was first circulated in hand written form and was later published by John Eardley in 1899 in a book containing Williams prophecies and visions entitled, Gems of Inspiration. Williams writes:

"After leading a blameless life, and searching after the treasures of eternity, through the gospel of Christ, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I was, on the 15th day of April, A.D. 1862, riding on my spirited mare by the slope of the Western range of mountains, near Hacker's canyon, in Salt Lake Valley, Utah, when snow began to fall in a marvelous manner. A cloud appeared in the north and became agitated, and speedily formed an enormous archway, spanning the entire valley.

"On each side of this arch were massive pillars of light, constructed with fine skill, and folding doors studded with golden bolts. Beholding this heavenly appearance, I alighted from my horse, and allowed it to escape.

"While meditating this scene, the eyes of my understanding were opened by the spirit of God, so as

to understand the things of God as they were from eternity.

"The folding doors were thrown back, and the highway to the eternal worlds was opened before me, and a voice strengthened me, saying: "Fear not, thou greatly beloved of the Lord, these are they that form a portion of the armies of heaven." Beyond the folding doors I saw a countless host of horses, and they who sat upon them had on breast-plates of fire, and diamonds, and helmets of precious stones, and out of the nostrils of the horses came fire and smoke, and their riders had large swords, and their faces were lightened as the sun.

"As soon as the first of this host reached the archway, they halted and formed a double line, the horses facing each other, and up this line I saw into the first heaven, from the earth, and bear record of the same, God, the eternal Father, standing on a throne of sapphire stone, and Christ seated at His right hand."[17]

The great cloud that Williams saw in his vision in the north is the great cloud that once filled the Deer Lodge Valley shooting up out of the geyser in the middle of the Valley (now Warm Springs). This cloud could be seen for 25 miles in all directions filling the Montana sky.[18] Likewise, Montana is called Big Sky Country. "Big Sky" is written in big bold colorful letters on all the Montana licence plates. And in the Dakotas they call Montana the "Sky State."

Thus Williams first sees this giant cloud in the north coming toward him from the direction of the Deer Lodge Valley. The Bible prophecies are clear that Jesus is to return on a cloud in the sky. The cloud is the big steam cloud in Deer Lodge and the sky is Montana--Montana is the Sky state. Thus Jesus II appears in the cloud in the sky.

Williams then saw the cloud become highly agitated in which it transformed into a giant archway. It is out of this archway from between the two "massive pillars of light" (two mountains of brass) that Williams sees the doors of the future flung wide open and armies of God (the 144,000) and the "countless host of horses" riding out from the Deer Lodge Valley to all the world.

THE GREAT ANNOUNCEMENT OF GEORGE WILLIAMS

In April of 1863, the Mormon prophet George Williams, proclaimed his true vision of the return of Jesus appearing in Deer Lodge, Montana--Big Sky Country--to the scattered Morrisite peoples!

George Williams himself was never a Morrisite and always remained a Mormon. However, it was the Morrisites who listened to his prophecies and followed his instructions to move to Deer Lodge.

THE MOVE TO DEER LODGE

Williams directed the Morrisites to move to the Deer Lodge Valley for the purpose of settling that area in preparation for Jesus' return. Upon receiving this great announcement of the return of Jesus in Deer Lodge, Montana, a large contingent of Morrisites moved directly to Deer Lodge in 1863.[19] The rest of the group joined them later in the early 1870's. The Morrisites who embraced the divine calling of Williams were the first settlers and pioneers of the Deer Lodge Valley.[20] It was they who first cultivated the land and developed the valley. They were the original farmers. They were the land owners. They were the pioneers.

WHO ARE THE MORRISITES?

The Morrisites get their name from Joseph Morris. He appeared on the scene at the height of the great Mormon reformation of 1856.[21] It was his mission, much like that of the great reformer Martin Luther, to separate a group of pure of heart people from the mainstream Mormon church which by that time had deviated from its true course. The Morrisites consider the reformer Morris as only the martyr foreshadower or forerunner of their true prophet George Williams.[22]

Ten years after the Mormons entered the Great Salt Lake area in Utah, in 1857, they had become very corrupt under the leadership of Brigham Young. The main corruption of the Mormons was polygamy. This practice was started by Brigham Young, not by

23

Joseph Smith[23], and wasn't announced by Brigham Young as an official Mormon practice until 1852, eight years after Smith had died. The purpose of this was so Brigham Young could marry a lot of rich widows and get there money and land.

Joseph Morris rose up at this time against the corruption of Brigham Young as a relatively unknown Mormon, like Martin Luther who, in his day, was just one simple monk against the great Pope. Like Luther, Morris, had no intention of starting his own religion. He just wanted to reform the Mormon church in Utah and get rid of all their corruption so they could continue on their true path. However, Brigham Young refused to reform just like the Pope refused to reform to Martin Luther. Brigham Young decided that he had to get rid of Morris and rub him out. Martin Luther, when he made his declaration, found protection from the Pope under the eight German princes. As long as the U.S. government army remained in the Utah territory Morris was safe. However in 1862 with the outbreak of the Civil War, the U.S. army pulled out of Utah and Brigham Young and his Mormon militia took over and ruthlessly murdered Joseph Morris and several other Morrisites, ranking the Morrisite War right up there with the Mountain Meadows Massacre a few years earlier.

The Brighamite sheriff Burton, riding roughshod into the Morrisite camp at Kington Fort, tried to run Joseph Morris down with his horse. He said, "I want no more of your apostasy"[24] (clearly showing that the conflict was purely religious in nature) and then shot Morris dead.

"A young woman named Isabella Bowman, holding in her arms the babe of the mother who had been killed by the first cannon ball fire into camp, stepped forward and said: "You blood-thirsty hell-hound, why do you shout at that good man?" Burton took deliberate aim at her, and shot her dead. Mrs, O'Hagg was shot at the same time. At this time, John Banks was standing near the steps of the school house, when one of the mob stepped

23 "An eminent jurist, Federal Judge John F. Philips, reviewed the evidence presented by the polygamous Utah Mormon Church (of Brigham Young], in legal proceedings wherein the origin of the doctrine and practice of polygamy was a vital issue, and held that Brigham Young not Joseph Smith was the author and instigator of that ... doctrine. (see Reorganized Church vs. Church of Christ, et al, 60 Fed.937." cited in: Inez Smith Davis, The Story of the Church, (Independence, Missouri: Herald Publishing House, 1959), p. 486.

behind him and shot him in the back of the neck; but he didn't die until that night."[25]

Seventeen years later, Burton was brought up on murder charges for killing Morris and the others. He was found guilty. After an appeal to a higher court the charges were dropped.

With the death of their leader the Morrisites were shattered yet expectant because the last instructions from their leader had declared that after this great conflict with the enemy (Brigham Young and his followers) the second coming of Jesus Christ would appear to them and they would receive the gospel of the Kingdom. According to C. LeRoy Anderson, Morris's last instructions given in the form of prophecy six months before the events transpired were "remarkable"! Anderson writes:

"Regardless of how one might view the general prophetic abilities of Joseph Morris, the substance of this revelation [his last instructions] is remarkable. It provides almost a flawless scenario of the actual confrontation between the Morrisites and the law [of Brigham Young] that occurred six months later."[26]

Thus it was in the spring of 1863, corresponding exactly to the time of Baha'u'llah's proclamation in the Garden of Ridvan on April 21, 1863, that George Williams following the direction of God proclaimed himself to the Morrisite community declaring that Deer Lodge Valley, Montana was the place where their Lord, the return of Jesus, would be and that Deer Lodge was the sacred spot foreordained in all the books of God to be the site for the Heavenly City, the "City of the Great King" which is described in the Book of Revelation and the Bible as "New Jerusalem."

At once with joyful hearts and renewed vigor the seemingly beaten band of Morrisites were now set aglow with a new zeal! For they had been saved and redeemed just as Morris had promised they would be after the great Morrisite War of 1862! Now with the true vision of the seer Williams, they triumphantly gathered their scant material possessions and moved to the Deer Lodge Valley, for them, the home of the Promised Land! Some moved directly to Deer Lodge while others moved to Soda Springs, Idaho and Council Bluffs, Iowa later to join the rest of them in Deer Lodge.

The Morrisite people became the pioneers of Deer Lodge, the first farmers and land owners, their sole purpose to build up that city and prepare the way for the construction of the Temple

of God in which Jesus is prophesied to suddenly return.

George Williams, however, himself was never a Morrisite[27] and always remained a Mormon. It was the Morrisites who listened to his prophecies and followed his instructions to move to Deer Lodge. Williams, himself never went to Deer Lodge but remained in Utah in Salt Lake City where he was a farmer. He used to have his mail sent to a friend's house because Brigham Young and his followers were constantly looking for him. When they had Morris killed they thought that they had heard the last of the Morrisites. But now they were going around proclaiming that Brigham Young had it all wrong and that the return of Jesus would be in Deer Lodge.

Williams never set himself up as leader of the Morrisites but appointed other people to the positions. He had no intention of becoming some big muckity-muck because he wasn't power hungry and he wasn't greedy. Williams was pure of heart and only wanted the truth of his vision preserved in Deer Lodge until the appearance of Jesus II. Eventually because of the Brighamites pursuit of him he moved from Utah back to England where he was originally from for safety. The Morrisites continued in Deer Lodge all the way up until the 1950's and 1960's where their last official leader George Johnson died in 1954. Right up until the end of his life George Johnson never wavered from the prophecy of Williams that the second coming (Jesus II) would be in Deer Lodge, Montana. With a strong Faith and absolute certainty he taught this fact to his children and to his grandchildren. Today it is the children of the Morrisites who reap the benefits of their parents as this prophecy is fulfilled in the Deer Lodge Temple of the Old Montana Prison.

Upon, entering the Deer Lodge Valley, as the Morrisite wagons passed over the hump on the southern side near Butte, they came to the top and could see the Deer Lodge Valley spreading out five to 10 miles wide and 60 miles long before them. Their first words were, "We've entered paradise!"

Today two-thirds of the population of the Deer Lodge Valley are descendants of the Morrisite peoples. They are either direct descendants of the Morrisites or have married into those families who are direct descendants of the original Morrisite pioneers. The original Morrisite settlers of the Deer Lodge Valley had big families with lots of children, some up to 10 in number! What could possibly make all the Morrisite people happier than knowing that the prophecies that their folks lived by and prayed for are now coming true, just as Williams revealed:

THE PROPHECY!

"In that region where you dwell [Deer Lodge, Montana], extending East, West, South and North--in this region will come down the City of the Great King [New Jerusalem, the City of Ezekiel's Temple].

No beast of prey may find a place there. All rank and unprofitable growth shall be banished at that day. Neighbor shall meet neighbor in perfect accord, and say--my children are numerous, and everyone sound in body and judgement--and so are mine [yours] .... In those days the old men shall not weep, neither shall they depart in sorrow or pain; but angels shall bear them to their resting place. And lights shall be on every hill, and on every dwelling place as the Sun for brightness. And like birds of the air shall men move from place to place, and hold converse with one another. A pure language shall be given from their childhood by which all shall do the will of God on the sides of the North as the angels do in His presence... For the choice place of the earth is handed over to you. Its beauties and riches in part, are yet hidden [the prison is only revealed as the Temple today]. But your children will develope more and more. For there [in Deer Lodge] will be the City of the Great King."[29]

TWO MOUNTAINS OF BRASS!

According to the Mormon prophecy of George Williams the sacred spot for the return of Jesus (Jesus II) is in the Deer Lodge Valley where the Temple of God, the City of the Great King, the New Jerusalem is to be built up. In Hebrew the word for copper and brass is the same word. On either side of the Deer Lodge Valley where the prison is located in the city of Deer Lodge, on the north and on the south are the worlds two largest mountains of copper: Lincoln and Butte, Montana.

"AND I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass." --Zechariah 6:1 (KJV).

Butte is called the "Richest Hill on earth." In 1900 Butte produced about 1/4 of the United States copper output and 1/7th of the world's![30] Butte is also called the city a mile high and a mile deep. It's a mile high in the Rocky Mountains and a mile deep with copper mines. Likewise, it is known that Lincoln has even more copper than Butte though it hasn't even been tapped yet.

It is from between these two mountains of brass that the Old Montana Prison in Deer Lodge fulfills the prophecy for the seven towered temple of Ezekiel, the Temple that, Jesus II enters, through the eastern gate of tower #7, between the two pillars of Jachin and Boaz.

From this prison in Deer Lodge between these two mountains of Brass (Lincoln and Butte), the chariots of God and His heavenly army, led by the return of Jesus (Jesus II), will gather to be sent out into all the world proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God.

"In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses. Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, what are these, my Lord? And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens that go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth."

--Zechariah 6:1-5

1990 celebrating the arrival of Comet Austin that any of the Baha'is found out about the prophecies of George Williams and the Morrisites who pioneered the Deer Lodge Valley for the coming of Jesus II.

I (Neal) had been doing research on Ezekiel's Temple in the Bible at that time and had come to Montana to give a talk on how the seven towered prison was the physical fulfillment of Ezekiel's vision. (Only Ezekiel's Temple and the Deer Lodge prison have seven towers.)

After the gathering, in June of 1990, when Comet Austin had already departed, we decided to go to Deer Lodge and measure the prison the way Ezekiel was told to measure the Temple. To our amazement in God's perfection, all the prophesied dates found in both the Bible and the Great Pyramid of Giza were also found inculcated into the stone masonry of the prison! While we were there, the tour coordinator asked us what we were doing. We told her that we were doing research on the Baha'i Faith because this prison fulfilled the Biblical prophecy for Ezekiel's Temple which Jesus is prophesied to return to, having the "stone with seven eyes" before him. She then told us something which I nor any other Baha'i had ever heard of before. She told us that there was another group in Deer Lodge, called the Morrisites, who came out of the Mormons, that had independent prophecies that the second coming of Jesus Christ would be in Deer Lodge, Montana. We were elated and said, "That prophecy is fulfilled right here in this prison!"

She said that there was a book about the Morrisites that we should read. After researching that book, For Christ Will Come Tomorrow: The Saga of the Morrisites, by C. Leroy Anderson, which everyone should read and become acquainted with, we did more research and wrote up this book, Ezekiel's Temple in Montana.

None of us, not even Dr. Leland Jensen, who fulfills the prophecy for the return of Jesus, had ever heard of the Morrisites before. His proclamation, made on April 29th, 1971 was based purely on the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy in Zechariah chapter 3 and other places, which pinpoints the return of Jesus the High Priest (Catholic Duay version)[31] in this Old Montana State Prison which is the "stone with seven eyes" that Jesus II the High Priest is to have before him (Zechariah 3:9).

Therefore, a completely independent source, not associated with the Baha'i Faith, prophesied of his coming to Deer Lodge in the prison, the seven towered Temple of Ezekiel. Like the star of Bethlehem which heralded his first coming, Comet Austin was the sign of the Son of Man in Heaven, heralding his second coming at

Deer Lodge, which brought us the news of the Morrisites and the prophecy of George Williams.

THE LORD'S MESSENGER

George Williams himself fulfills Mormon prophecy as the messenger of the Lord" who is to come as the forerunner to Jesus II. In the Book of Mormon, 3 Nephi 24:1, George Williams fulfills this prophecy for the "messenger of the lord" which is identical to the prophecy given by Malachi in chapter 3 of his book in the Old Testament:

Behold, I send my messenger to prepare the way before me, and the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his Temple; the messenger of the Covenant in whom you delight behold he is coming, says the Lord of hosts. But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears?

--Malachi 3:1-2; 3 Nephi 24:1.

The Lord's messenger, George Williams, prepared the way for the return of Jesus by announcing to all the world that Jesus would come suddenly to his Temple in Deer Lodge Montana, which is the Old Montana State Prison prophesied as the seven towered Temple of Ezekiel.

Many other prophecies of George Williams have likewise come true. He foresaw the technological age with airplanes and modern inventions. He prophesied that the whole world would speak a universal language which is one of the twelve principles of Baha'u'llah. Likewise, he prophesied the earth's shifting crust which will bring Deer Lodge down to a warm southerly climate. Both the Guardian of the Baha'i Faith, Charles Mason Remey Aghsan, and Albert Einstein wrote about how the earth's surface is going to shift, bringing the United States 2000 miles south into the area of the tropics.

According to C.Leroy Anderson, there are other miscellaneous prophecies of William's that came true.[32] However, Anderson said that they might have been only coincidental because at the time of that writing he was unaware of the fact that Jesus II had proclaimed himself in Deer Lodge in the prison on April 29th, 1971. The main prophecy of the appearance of Jesus II the High Priest in his prison/temple with seven eyes or towers is only now for the first time being explained to all the world!

Enclosed please find the book "Ezekiel's Temple in Montana" for further information.

You see my dear Pepe, I am indeed Jesus II the High Priest, that Distinguished Individual standing in the Holy of Holies, before the Ark of the Covenant holding the scroll in my right hand "leading God's heavenly army", the "Legions of the Covenant" to victory and "having all those high sounding spiritual appellations" as diadems in my golden crown. I made my proclamation inside of Ezekiel's ideal temple in the Deer Lodge in the Sky e.g., Montana the Big Sky State on the date of April 29, 1971 fulfilling prophecy.

Part of my mission[33] is to establish you on the throne of David, but you have been giving us a hard time, giving us a lot of flack, and sometimes becoming down right nasty-- brutalizing the very dear ladies of this Army, including one of the Elders. One of the nicest young ladies that I know of is Kay Woods. She wrote you a very kind letter out of compassion and regard for your well being. In answering her letter you addressed her a "Dear Madam", you didn't have the decency to address her as "Dear Kay" or "Dear Mrs. Woods." Where you really went down into the sewer of your depravity is when you wrote that very nasty letter of May 21, 1990 to the most wonderful person in this world, one that has stuck by you and been for you through thick or thin, believing and supporting you whether you were right or wrong and did not, for that reason, participate in these letter writings. She is one of the last two "Knights of Baha'u'llah" left in this world and is an Elder of the first rank. Without being provoked in any way you started off your letter in that derogatory manner by addressing her as "Dear Madam:" Then you go on in your third paragraph:

"During Mason Remey's guardianship, while in Florence, he never received more than 200 dollars per month in contributions; - $100 of that amount came regularly from Mary Magdalene Wilkin. Some few of his supporters contributed sums ranging from $10 - $25 per person. Therefore, in view of the above, it is difficult to understand what Dr. Jensen meant by the words 'depriving herself'. I cannot believe anyone faced 'deprivations' for their contributions. If so, I am willing to make amends if an account will be set me for contributions made after Mason Remey's death."

To quote from the above paragraph you wrote "Therefore in view of the above, it is difficult to understand what Doctor Jensen meant by the words 'depriving herself'. I cannot believe anyone faced 'deprivations' for their contributions." The time in question is during the time I was in prison where I earned only ten cents a day, that is when I worked. You must understand that we were not prepared for all that happened. It fell on us like a

thunder bolt. After we moved to Montana, in September of 1964, we purchased three pieces of property. Two of them were houses that I converted into two offices and clinics-- one for me, the other for Dr. Opal, and the other for our home. We had large mortgages and the payments were high. With the two incomes we got along alright, but when I went to prison we lost half of our practices and Opal combined what was left of the two practices into just one. From that time she was making less than half of our previous income, yet the payments on the mortgages remained the same plus the taxes, utilities and up keep had to be payed. It wasn't easy for Opal, by being frugal she just barely managed. It was so bad that I wouldn't let her, except on rare occasions, contribute to my prison commissary fund. I just went without. However, due to her devotion to the Cause of God and due to the struggle that Mason was going through at that time she managed to donate what ever she could and I was happy that she was able to do so. She didn't do this to buy her way into heaven it was solely on the basis of her love and devotion to the guardianship and to the Cause. Then you have the audacity to complain because she didn't donate as much as Mary M. Wilkins who was rich. Did you ever hear of the widow's mite? After I was released from prison it was somewhat better, but I was still deprived of going back to practice my profession.

"There are so very few faithful friends left now and I felt that in your case that even if this small recognition comes to you indirectly, at least you know that your efforts and sacrifices are very much appreciated and are very helpful especially in these times when Mason's advanced years make ever new demands."

Pepe to Opal 9/18/72

"...I am writing once in a while only to those few Baha'i friends who have been proving (by their contributions) that they REALLY care about the Guardian's needs."

Pepe to Opal 10/28/73

"Your contribution is also appreciated -- not so much for its monetary value as for the thought of wanting to contribute. You will be interested to know that yours was the ONLY contribution so far this month. When Baha'is send a contribution to Mr. Remey, it encourages me because I feel that I am not alone in serving."

Pepe to Opal 12/28/73

"...I so appreciate the few people who claim to be Baha'i and are willing to make some small sacrifice (it matter's not how much) to make Mason's life a bit more

32

pleasant."

Pepe to Opal 1/25/74

"My purpose [for writing letter] was to thank you personally for your loyalty to Mason and to tell you how much your contributions made it possible for me to provide for him those few extra things that gave him more happiness during these last few very trying years."

Pepe to Opal 2/5/74

"Although your last letter bears the date 13th Apr., I only received it this morning and cannot tell you what great spiritual joy it brought me. You have been one of the very few who have understood my situation here and aside from the many contributions you made regularly (and I'm sure as a personal sacrifice) I have always appreciated, personally, your insight and understanding."

Pepe to Opal 5/6/74

"...some of our true and generous friends (as you have always been) out of the goodness of their hearts had the desire to send me some contributions..."

Pepe to Opal 5/6/74

"I must thank you warmly for your very kind and generous thought. You have always been one of the very few who have been very constant in your generosity."

Pepe to Opal 1/28/75

"Your wife, Dr. Opal has been one of the very few Baha'is (after Mason's death) to show her appreciation for my services to him and as that help came at a time when it was direly needed, that help shall never be forgotten. My admiration and respect for you both and for the work you have been doing for the Baha'i cause knows no bounds."

Pepe to Leland 8/75

Then your letters, sent to Dr. Opal and to the other devoted friends, really got sick when you insinuate that I had collected monies in your name and kept it for myself, without sending it to you. I want you to know that I have never collected any money in your or any one else's name. When Mason threw out the Babi administration e.g., assemblies both local and national, there too went the Baha'i fund. Other groups that broke away from Mason and functioned under a false guardian maintained their assemblies and the Baha'i fund, such as Marangella's and Rex King's. I never allowed the assemblies to be reestablished. Neither have I ever allowed the setting up of a Baha'i fund. There is a publishing

33

trust that is incorporated and has a fund, but all the money goes for printing materials such as paper. None of it goes into my pocket. Dr. Opal is now 78 years old and still puts in a full week at her office, eight to ten hours a day and a half day on Saturdays. We now both receive social security checks. All our resources go into promotion of the Faith.

For the independent investigation of truth the searcher must first have the proper criteria to recognize the promised ones. Very few people ever find this criteria and thus they become the enemies of God and His promised ones. Many people either don't want the ones sent by God or they test them. e.g., The Pharisees that asked Jesus whether the Jews should pay taxes to Caesar. If he said they should pay taxes then the Jews would be against him, if said the Jews shouldn't pay taxes then the Roman government would be against him. This is the kind of vendetta, or a game that you play to test me to see if I am the one that I claim to fulfill prophecy for and this is all wrong. God sends his promised ones to test the servants not for the servants to test the promised one, especially when he fulfills all of the criteria, such as, coming in the prophesied name, at the prophesied address or place, at the proper date and fulfills the promised mission. 'Abdu'l-Baha said:

"There are before you so many temptations, trials afflictions, calamities and difficulties because you have to be purified through fire and sifted through the sieve in order to separate the wheat from the tares. Verily, I say unto you, none will be saved but the believers, and from the believers only the sincere, and even those are in great danger, especially in such times. -- 'Abdu'l-Baha "Life Eternal Excerpts from the Writings of Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha"

The purpose of the tests that have been going on, is to show that even the guardians can go to hell and to show the guardianship cannot be discarded by anyone. These tests also show that from the date of the passing of Baha'u'llah, that there can never be another Manifestation for a full thousand years. In the fulfillment of the Aqdas, God has sent down one that has dealt unmercifully with Mason who tried to make such a claim.

My hope and my prayer is that you will start seeing through you own eyes and stop seeing through the eyes of Mason.

The last battle to be fought is the legions of the Covenant against the "Sons of Ra".
