I AM the Witness

I wanted to share with you an experience of beloved Jesus reaching out and touching me personally. This occurred during the dictation he gave on July 8. It was at the point in the dictation when the Master offered a portion of resurrection’s flame to each one of us. As I called to him to receive this blessing, immediately my heart was quickened and filled with a great light. This was a very tangible presence of the Master with me. I could feel it in my chest.

My heart was on fire in a very wonderful way. There was a presence of light all around my heart. It was as if this presence had a gravity or weight to it. It was incredible. I was totally enveloped in the Master’s presence. And I wasn’t even in King Arthur’s Court, I was in a different building watching the dictation on a TV. And there was the Master right there with me!

In that moment I felt so blessed to be in the presence of the Master. I thanked beloved Jesus with all of the gratitude of my being. I was deeply affected by this experience. I could see how much this great Master had done for me lifetime after lifetime and how little I had returned to the Master. It was time to make room in my life for the Master.

I daily pray to Jesus for that portion of the resurrection flame and for that comfort and companionship he has offered. I also confess to beloved Jesus that he is my Lord and Savior. I have found that this confession brings a great blessing in return from the Master (Mother has given a wonderful teaching on the great blessing of accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior in her recent A Dweller on Two Planets lecture series).

This daily communion with the Master is a very important part of my life. On those days when keeping the vision of why we are on planet earth becomes difficult, it is this contact with the Master that makes the difference. If I get a little negative, I stop for a minute and see myself at my altar praying to the Master. This immediately dispels that which is upon me. This is why I wanted to share this experience with you.

By this contact each day, the Master has become a real and living person to me. The Master sustains me by his strength and his strength is greater than the illusion of the world. Try this practice of daily establishing contact with beloved Jesus or one of the Ascended Masters. There is nothing like walking with the Master.

To My Brothers and Sisters,

As a small child, I used to pray in a favorite spot in my dad’s office by a big picture of Jesus. I always felt that I knew him well and that he was listening to my prayers.

Shortly after I found the Teachings and our beloved Messengers, I was called by the Holy Spirit to attend Summit University at Camelot. I told my friends that Jesus had called me to his quarter and it was finally announced that Jesus would indeed sponsor that next quarter.

I left everything in New York City to follow Jesus. When I got to Los Angeles, I went to the Ashram of the World Mother for a service. I saw Mother and Mark for the first time in a video on “the Community.” I recognized them instantly: Mark by his joyful gait and Mother by her gracious gestures. You see, I had been a dancer all my life and knew people by the flame in their movements. Never before had I seen such purity in form as in our beloved Messengers.

During Summit University I was baptized. I knew that I had found Jesus when I felt him bless me through Mother. I knew the healing touch of my Lord and there it was. Jesus made his Second Coming on Ascension Hill at Camelot during that quarter; and the beautiful Teachings we received at S.U. changed my life completely, for which I will be eternally grateful.

One year or so later, we were preparing for a dictation by beloved Jesus at the Chapel of the Holy Grail. That day, Mother entered through the doors of the chapel and walked down the center aisle to the altar. When I turned to look at her I could not see her. I could see only the commanding Presence of Jesus over her. He wore a white robe and was carrying a magnificent golden shepherd’s crook. A few years later, that very shepherd’s crook was brought to the altar to be used by the Messenger for the first time.

To this day, I witness to the Presence of beloved Jesus and his mantle upon our beloved Mother, to the love of the Guru-chela relationship and to the joy experienced in witnessing the Peace-commanding presence of our Lord upon our Messenger each time she raises the shepherd’s crook at the high altar while making calls for the freedom of the lightbearers of Earth.

God bless you forever, Mother, for holding the vision of this “Place Prepared” which Jesus showed you two thousand years ago.

All my love,

Dearest Mother,

I had attended the Spring quarter of Summit University in 1984 and had been given the opportunity to come up to the Inner Retreat with part of my quarter to prepare the Heart for the July conference. I arrived May 25th.

Jesus’ Ascension Day address was to be given in the Heart on May 31, 1984. Due to a health problem I was experiencing at the time, and adjusting to the new altitude, I decided I had better stay home and rest. I was lying in my bed trying to sleep and feeling very miserable that I could not be with Jesus and I was crying and praying and telling him I was sorry I could not hear his message that evening. I felt the angels in my room and Mother Mary and Jesus, who had come to comfort me. I felt the most gentle, tender stroke of a hand on my cheek. I touched my hand to my face and wondered what that was and fell asleep holding my cheek.

Jesus’ dictation was given later in the evening and it was that monumental message when he announced the Mystery School of Lord Maitreya to be here at the Inner Retreat and the release of the ONLY MARK tapes and how important they are as the footsteps, the Path, the understanding, the KEYS. His dictation went on for some time and at the end Jesus said, “So may you be, may you do, may you go forth in my name and in the remembrance of my sweet caress as I place my hand upon your cheek, each one, and you remember how much I have loved thee...”

When my roommates came home and were excitedly telling me about this, I burst into tears of love, heartfelt gratitude and AWE to realize that truly Jesus had been with me, I had not missed his precious presence. I had not been forgotten, Jesus had come to me BEFORE He gave his dictation.

O God, you are so magnificent!

In Jesus’ name,

I AM the Witness,
