Lecture based Questions:

1. Who are the Silent Watchers?

They are members of the Hierarchy and their cohorts (angels and students) who have the specific job of observing for good behavior. We are never alone, and someone is always watching us to determine whether or not we might be useful in some service capacity or as a receiver of blessing or benefit.

The Watchers are in communication with the Guardian Angels. Together they wait for such times as when a person might prove strong of character, skillful in receptivity, or logical and correct during times of danger or stress. When a person fulfills one or more of these requirements, the long and arduous (full of details and practice) journey to Mastery has begun and the Watchers send instruction and helpers.

2. Exercise: The Great Call to Home

Create an egg of white and gold Light within the heart chakra. This is a thought form symbolizing the Adonai. Change your point of view so that you are small and the egg is large. Step inside the egg.

A. Describe the physical sensation of being in the egg.

B. Describe any sounds that you hear in the egg.

C. Who is holding your hand?

3. Which chakra corresponds to the Adonai?

The Third Eye Chakra, which is centered in the middle of the forehead, connects to the Adonai Body. Symbolically and actually, the Adonai receives and sends information to the lower bodies through this conduit. Although at your stage of development, the Adonai is not awake, still the subtle energies from the seventh dimension run through it. Also, all your thoughts and revelations rise upward through the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh dimensions to nourish the growing and maturing Adonai Body.

The Third Eye Chakra is extremely complex in its design. At first glance, it resembles a translucent blue dish or flower. However, it rules healing principles and the outlying minor charkas through a series of flower-like structures and stems. It also houses a unicorn-like horn appendage that pops out to view items in close-up. Something like an eye is at the end of this horn, seeing the very tiny and far away. Of course the connection to the physical nerve plexus called the optical chiasm creates a tight connection to the clairvoyant process.

As the Golden Flower develops in a clairvoyant, the Third Eye Chakra strengthens its ability to receive and send data outward to friends and helpers as well as upward to the Adonai.

4. What are the qualities that describe the Adonai? What dimension is it’s home?

You could say that the Adonai is yourself as a god-like being. As yet, it sleeps, not being allowed to waken until sufficiently trained. In appearance, it seems to be an infant or a child up until the Fourth Degree of Initiation (4DI). Your physical visage resembles your Adonai Body, as a smoky, distorted mirror might reflect your physical body. So your physical being is a disfigured, distorted image of your god-like self. The corruption is a result of your feelings and ideas.

The sleeping god-baby becomes mature and alert at the 7DI. When it comes into its own, the reasons for its dormancy become apparent. Immense power—the kind of power that creates planets—is in play. There is no room here for pettiness, lack of cohesive thought, or short-term focus. Here is the beginning of destiny. Here is responsibility, as we dare not dream. All the skills you have learned, all the souls that you have loved, all the wisdom that you have gained become part of the Adonai in their best possible aspects.

5. Scrying Exercise: Induced Vision

After the breath of fire, all orifices of the face are blocked with the fingers until a flash of vision comes. It is wise to do this lying down and with a spotter/witness.

Be careful to only do this within comfortable parameters. Suffering is not part of the experience.

This is a very brief exercise and should not be indulged in for multiple times or for marathon competitions with the self.

6. Why and how does this work? What would be the most appropriate use of this technique?

The altering of consciousness through hyperventilation and oxygen deprivation has a long history among the yoga-like cultures. First the hyperoxygenation acts at the cellular level. It overly excites the brain cells and sends endorphins through the bloodstream to the pleasure centers. Then the deprivation sends the nervous system to a brief moment of restfulness.

7. Draw or describe one of your helpers.

Hundreds of helpers! Pick one! Record your impressions.

In the Realm of the Logos

The Inmost Heart

Words go forth from one’s own person and exert their influence on men.

Deeds are born close at hand and become visible far away.

Words and deeds are the hinge and bowspring of the superior man.

As hinge and bowspring move, they bring honor or disgrace.

Through words and deeds the superior man moves heaven and earth.

Must one not, then, be cautious?

—Confucius

Today you are walking through diamond hallways in palaces and citadels of gem-like color and glowing light. Imagine it all—music, laughter, peace, security, comfort, learning interesting facts and skills, surrounded by loving and beloved friends. Now, increase the wonderfulness of it by 100.

In the seventh dimension, your body of expression is in its youngest and oldest state. This is your first expression of individuality after the Monad. It created the Soul and indirectly all of your experiences as you know them, yet it is the most innocent and will remain so throughout eternity. Also, among the giants who walk this plane of existence, your Adonai body is an inexperienced and unskilled child. The child is always joyous and free in the company of these powerful and true adults.

The skills that the Adonai seeks to attain are the following:

Consistency

Subtle and Gentle Control of Thought

Relentless Perseverance

The Perfected Combination of Softness and Strength

Stability

Preparedness

These qualities have echoes of meaning beyond the physical use. Yet our experiences in the physical world create the energy and wisdom to actuate these strengths.

The Adonai, always in touch with the Divine Source, retains the qualities of innocence. Pure affection is its native expression. Sharing is its natural impulse. Truth is the power of its vision and influence.

The energy level of this dimension is vast, immediate, great in effect, and unlimited. It takes great skill and maturity to function responsibly at this level. Will force has no place here, for the force of the will is a puny and shadowy thing in the face of the Divine Creative Power. The Adonai understands that to deliberately manipulate any effect would only destroy the possibility of producing it on a lasting and expanding scale.

Such is the massive power of this level of energy, that great subtlety of touch is necessary, for any thought to be effective. The Adonai develops this skill through the many physical incarnations of physical experience. Eventually all the blessings and bonds of love and wisdom will culminate through the ages into the maturity of the Adonai. In the meanwhile, the Adonai learns to act in intricate and nearly imperceptibly subtle movements, which have great and far-reaching effects on the lower planes. The Adonai learns to free the individuality of will and join the harmonious activity of creative work through the network of the Silent Watchers.

This is a closely knit and loving society of titan-like entities who do the Divine Will for the benefit of the universe and in keeping with the impulse of the Light. They are the adults who decide our directions until we, too, mature to adulthood.
