The Power of Shiva’s Third Eye

Dear Devotees of Light,

I’d like to share something with you regarding the dictation Shiva gave at the FREEDOM 1992 conference. I first began to invoke the name of Shiva back in 1984 after attending Level I at Summit University. I have learned from experience how incredibly powerful the single word Shiva is. And I just have to tell you about a dream I had before this summer class that parallels what Shiva told us in his dictation.

In my dream I was in a room that was all white with no furniture. This room was connected to many other white rooms. I was in an intense battle with an individual whom I will call “the evil one.” He was good-looking (a Nephilim type), tall and blonde, and had a sinister grin and malicious laugh.

I thought he might be a “UFO guy” or a black magician. In any case, he was trying to destroy me. The only way I could keep him from destroying me was to keep my attention (i.e., my third eye) on him. My attention became the barrier that protected me from his power. However, he kept dematerializing and then reappearing quickly behind me so that I would have to turn instantly to keep my eye on him.

He kept repeating this sequence over and over again, always dematerializing and then reappearing somewhere else to catch me off guard. I was beginning to weary and knew I had to do something before I lost the battle. It was then that I thought of Shiva and I invoked his presence right when the evil one was reappearing again, this time in an adjacent room.

I shouted “Shiva!” and the most amazing thing happened! Shiva appeared before me instantly just as the evil one was reappearing. The look on the evil one’s face turned from glee to overwhelming fear as he recognized Shiva. He tried desperately to get away but Shiva was too quick and released a golden emerald ray out of his third eye. He directed it at the third-eye area of the evil one, who was instantly annihilated.

Then Shiva disappeared and I was left standing in the white room simply awed by the experience. I woke up and praised the name of Shiva, who had once again delivered me!

I cannot fail to witness to the power of a single word: Shiva! It is absolutely awesome what one word can do. Praise God, praise the name of Shiva!

Gratefully, I remain

A Poem to Archangel Michael

Beloved Mother and All Keepers of the Flame,

I would like to share with you a poem I wrote regarding the angelic sponsorship of the police. I wrote it in October of 1990 and, by God’s grace, was fortunate to have had it printed in the January 1991 issue of a police publication that goes out to all the law-enforcement personnel of the Los Angeles area.

Interestingly, as cycles of opportunity would have it, the very police officers who were exposed on the now-famous videotape of the Rodney King beating (Los Angeles, March 1991) had had an opportunity to read my (or Archangel Michael’s) words just two or three months earlier. The Rodney King incident sparked such an outcry across the nation regarding police brutality that things will never be the same. I feel it has precipitated a certain judgment upon all law enforcement, and praise God for it!

One nearly shudders at the thought that it is possible for violent, bully types to dress up in uniform, hiding behind a badge, and commit crimes under color of law. I can see now that Archangel Michael and the cosmic councils must have decided that they were going to have no more of it!

What I want to say to my brothers and sisters on the Path who have not yet tested that “still small voice within” that prompts them to do, say or write something is: Do it! If you feel you have a particular attunement with an Ascended Master or Archangel who may have a message for the people of earth, I encourage you to write it down and do something with it. Remember, you are God’s instrument where you are, and when you feel that inspiration that you know comes from on high, write it down right away and follow up on it.

Don’t listen to the carnal mind that says, “Oh, I’ll remember this. How could I ever forget it? I’ll write it down later when I get home and I’m at my desk.” Many a poet and songwriter can relate stories of the lyrics or poetic phrases that just slipped away and disappeared back into the ethers because they were not captured with pen and paper at the exact time of inspiration. And any good student of the science of Mother Mary’s Cosmic Clock knows that the particular moment is the moment because it is the moment!

Be diligent and always have close at hand wherever you are a pad of paper and two pens–one to back up the other one that will always seem to run out on you right in the middle of your greatest inspiration!

So, if, by God’s grace, I have been fortunate enough to inscribe the poetic thoughts of our dearly beloved Archangel Michael, I’d like to share them with my brothers and sisters on the Path who may then in turn share them with more of our brothers and sisters “in blue.” These know at the “reality level” of their soul that Archangel Michael is their true sponsor, that he knows who they are and that he loves them and stands beside them (and around and over them) as they work.

Imagine how much additional protection the police would have if they actually began praying to Archangel Michael!

Thank you, Mother, for being the example as you stand immovable at your intersection of Light in the mandala of the Great White Brotherhood, standing and still standing with your message of Truth, regardless of how popular or unpopular that message may be. May we all learn by your example.

And praise God for the “I AM the Witness” section of the Pearls of Wisdom, for I am grateful to be able to stand as a witness to the reality of the presence of Archangel Michael in the earth.

With all my love, Mother, to you and your family and staff, I remain your friend and chela, in service to our beloved El Morya.

Here is the poem:

Your Sponsor in Blue

You ride with your sponsor, an angel of blue,
With knowledge or not of his presence with you;
It’s more than symbolic, that shield that you wear,
That covers your heart, protecting you there.

The children can see him accompanying you;
They wave and they smile–it’s the reason they do!
Perhaps they can see the blue sword from the sun
That’s standing behind your badge and your gun.
The mission is sure: “To Protect and to Serve”;
No room in the ranks for those lacking in nerve,
Who would compromise truth and would further the cause
Of dishonoring the ranks and eroding the laws.

Your power, remember, is only on loan;
’Tis a most fearful master and not yours to own.
The people’ve entrusted it, angels have, too,
From the ranks of the many to only the few.

Have you noticed that mantle descend upon you
As you glance in the mirror for one final view
Before hitting the streets, as you straighten your tie?
Your sponsor is looking you straight in the eye!

This angel, remember, is always on call,
Should ever you need him, should ever you fall.
Decked out in khaki or your shade of blue,
He’s instantly there in service to you.

On duty or off, you are never alone,
If enforcing the law is the interest you’ve shown
That has led you through training, now sealed by an oath;
The things that you do now reflect on you both.
Through service you may now return to this one
Your payment, of sorts, for all that he’s done.
Defending the faithful and noble’s his game;
And for those who would know, Archangel Michael’s his name!

Is Your Electric Blanket Sapping Your Strength?

Dear Mother,

I used an electric blanket for a few months about twenty years ago. During the time I used the blanket, I felt agitated. I stopped using it because I was convinced–although I didn’t have any proof except my feelings–that it was not healthy. Since then I’ve met several others who have had similar experiences with electric blankets.

In December 1991 I read Dr. Bruckheim’s “Family Doctor” column in the Billings Gazette. A reader had written in with concerns about electric blankets. Dr. Bruckheim’s discussion on the possible health risks associated with their use showed me that my suspicions were well founded. I think it’s important to spread the word about the potential hazards of electric-blanket use. Fortunately, in this case, avoidance is a simple matter.

I am enclosing Dr. Bruckheim’s column in the hope that you will share it with others.

Are Electric Blankets Safe?
by Dr. Allen Bruckheim

Recently my sister came to spend a few days with us to enjoy the holidays. While giving her a tour of our new home, she noticed the cord from our electric blanket on our bed. She rattled off a list of horrors that left me gasping and shaking. I’d like to know what the dangers are. I don’t think she meant I could be electrocuted. What was she talking about?

It wasn’t electrocution she feared, but the effects of the electrical current that runs through the wires of the blanket to generate the heat. It’s a controversial topic, but I can afford you a bit of insight and a suggestion or two.

When common house current, which is a 60-hertz, alternating current (AC) flows through a wire it generates an electromagnetic field. This is true of power lines, video display terminals and some household appliances as well as electric blankets. This type of field is called an “extremely low frequency” (or ELF) electromagnetic field.

Ongoing research investigating the possible negative effects of such ELF fields has been conducted since 1979. That’s when some studies suggested that the higher-than-expected frequency of cancer and birth defects was linked to the presence of these fields. The Environmental Protection Agency issued a preliminary statement of its findings last year, and called ELF fields “a possible but not proven cause of cancer in humans.” The EPA’s final report is expected to be released shortly.

However, the Food and Drug Administration, basing its actions on the preliminary EPA report, recommended that the electromagnetic fields produced by electric blankets be reduced. Since that time, the manufacturers of these blankets have made blankets with the electromagnetic fields reduced by as much as 95 percent. These are the type of blankets available today in most stores. Some of these newer blankets are even labeled as being newly engineered.

Even though many electrical appliances generate similar fields, the danger with an electric blanket results from its many hours (about eight hours on average) of contact with the body during a night’s sleep as well as the close proximity of contact with the user.

ELF fields are strongest next to the electrical source of the field. So the closer you are to the current the greater the exposure will be. Since blankets lie directly on the sleeping user, the exposure is high. Thus the U.S. Office of Technology Assessment has recommended “prudent avoidance” in the use of such blankets.

Let me underscore that the type of research used to develop these recommendations was based upon epidemiological studies rather than laboratory experiments. They represent a statistical analysis that attempts to link a cause with an effect and can be mere coincidence. Still there’s probably enough evidence to validate the concern.

You still can gain some advantage from your blanket, should you choose to continue to use it. Turn the blanket on before you retire. Get the bed warm and comfortable; however, turn the blanket off before sliding into bed. You can achieve all of the benefits with none of the possible risks.

Pregnant women and children are best advised to forgo the use of such blankets completely.

I disagree with certain of Dr. Bruckheim’s conclusions. Let’s say you forget to turn off the blanket that you intended to use just to warm your bed on that cold winter night. Then again, if it’s not OK for pregnant women and children, it may not be OK for anyone. I was neither pregnant nor a child when I felt the bombardment of my body during the period of time I used an electric blanket.

Finally, until our scientists can tell us precisely what the association is between the use of electric blankets and the higher incidence of cancer and birth defects, how can we know for certain that an electric field alone–which may still be produced unless the blanket is unplugged–is not of itself harmful to our health?

For anyone interested in reading in more detail about the potential risks associated with extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields, one highly readable brochure I’ve found on the subject is “Electric and Magnetic Fields from 60 Hertz Electric Power: What do we know about possible health risks?” written by Professor M. Granger Morgan. It is available for $3.50 from the Department of Engineering and Public Policy, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA 15213. Another good article, “Are Electric Blankets Safe?” was published in the November 1989 issue of Consumer Reports and is available in the reference section of most public libraries.

Sincerely,

My Heart Is the Heart of Christ

While I was a part-time staff member at Camelot in California I had an experience that unfortunately has never been repeated but has been an important inspiration to me. I was an usher at the time and was asked to sit in the Chapel of the Holy Grail while Mother was giving baptisms. Jesus was present and I could feel his and Mother’s love for each child as they came forward. My heart was also filled with love as I looked at the children’s innocence and purity and watched Mother baptize them.

The line was very long and after some time something happened to my heart chakra that I had never felt before. It is hard to describe but it felt like my heart was continuously leaping for joy or leaping with love. My heart felt like it was overflowing, and it was a very blissful and beautiful feeling. In the past my heart had often burned with love but this was quite different. The feeling continued for several hours after the baptisms and then slowly faded away.

I have been profoundly grateful ever since because I believe that we can continually be in such a state of bliss if we diligently follow the path given to us by the Ascended Masters. But it would have been hard for me to imagine what such bliss is like if I had not had this experience.
