I AM the Witness
I Shall Not Be Moved by Earthquakes
I would like to witness to the power of the Teachings of the Ascended Masters in a moment of an emergency.
It happened in the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador, where my husband was working. I had an apartment in the same building where the main offices of the company were, and I had just come from seeing the craftsman who was remodeling my living-room furniture.
I had one hand on the closet door and the other on a hanger, ready to hang my dress in the closet, when the whole room started to move. I said, “Oh, my God! It is an earthquake!” I then took a big breath, centered myself in my heart in the white fire core of being, and visualized the tube of light covering the whole apartment.
The next thing I remember was the earthquake passing. The building was still trembling a little, but I went out of the apartment and into the corridor that led to the stairs where the main offices of the company were. I saw all the people that worked there gathered at the main entrance door, some crying and screaming. Big books and binders had fallen off the shelves and were scattered on the floor. The whole office was a mess. The rest of the buildings in that complex had all been damaged, as well as many others all over the city.
The people from the company were surprised that nothing had happened in my apartment. I had three shelves of parcels from all over the world and souvenirs and gifts of all sizes–but none were harmed. Nothing was damaged in my apartment.
Always a Keeper of the Flame,
My Dream of the Blue Room
Dearest Mother,
I have always wanted to tell you this story. Now I am grateful that I can share it with all through the “I AM the Witness” column in the Pearls of Wisdom.
I was about five or six years old when I first had a certain dream. It was a beautiful dream in which I was lost after a storm. Alone I wandered and came upon a single house. When I knocked on the door, a lady opened it. She was in her golden years with silvered hair. She was very gracious and kind.
Welcoming me, the lady laid out a cloth covered with necklaces of precious gems–emeralds, sapphires, rubies and diamonds. She offered me my choice and invited me to come inside. I took an emerald one and went in.
As I explored the house, I found a room that had many seats in rows and a sloping aisle leading toward a platform. The room seemed larger inside than the house had looked outside. And, amazingly, the air was blue–not smokey, but clear, with every molecule softly shimmering in royal blue light.
Then I woke up.
I really enjoyed this dream and it came again a couple of times a year over the next few years. Sometimes there were minor variations in it, but the lady, the jewels and the room were always the same. I loved the necklace but what really intrigued me was the room.
Then the dream didn’t come as often, but I found that I could ask to experience it again and I would. As I matured, however, I forgot all about it.
In the fall of 1976, I attended my second Summit Lighthouse conference. It was in Pasadena, the first there since the purchase of the campus. The auditorium was newly decorated and full-length blue curtains formed the backdrop for the altar and covered the walls.
As the lights dimmed and the meditation music swelled for the first dictation, I looked around and all I saw was blue. My heart began to beat faster and I took a quick breath. I looked again–even the air seemed blue!
...BLUE?! Tears welled up in my eyes. I perceived the room of my dreams!
I am so grateful to you, dear God, for giving me that dream so many times over so that I wouldn’t pass up the precious gems of the Ascended Masters’ Teachings when I found them!
And a special thanks to Ascended Lady Master Clara Louise, the first Mother of the Flame. In her recent dictation (1991 Pearls of Wisdom, p. 385), she said:
|
| When I was in my final embodiment I had many hours to pray and I developed an intense white fire to direct into problems at a world level, those involving children and individuals for whom I would pray. That momentum came with many years of fierce, undivided attention for hours of [keeping my] morning vigil on behalf of the babies and youth. |
I see so many among you for whom I did pray in this my final incarnation, and I would tell you that it is clear in the record that my prayers did make the difference in your entering the Path.
And it is true. You see, she was the lady in my dream.
Oh, let us also pray for the children and youth of the world that they may find the Teachings and come all the way Home!
All my love,
“Your Heart Is Fine”
Dear Mother,
The tender care and love that Mother Mary has for each one of us was recently so clearly demonstrated to me that I would like to share the experience with you.
During the month of May I increased my devotions to Mother Mary, as we were especially consecrating that month to her flame. In mid-June it was my turn for night-shift duty in my department. Each night after everyone else had gone, I would play the Sanctissima album. The songs of this “Musical Mass for World Peace” helped sustain a forcefield of Light in the office. Then came our July conference, Joy in the Heart.
One day during the conference I noticed that I did not feel right. I was short of breath, somewhat light-headed and felt pressure in my chest. I later learned that doctors interpret pressure as pain. I also found the following passage in the American Red Cross Community CPR Workbook:
|
| The most significant signal of a heart attack is chest discomfort or pain. A victim may describe it as uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, a fullness or tightness, or as an aching, crushing, constricting, oppressive, or heavy feeling. The pain is described as being in the center of the chest behind the breastbone. The pain may spread to one or both shoulders or arms, or to the neck, jaw, or back. In addition to chest pain, there may be other signals, including sweating, nausea, shortness of breath. |
After I consulted with our staff doctor, it was decided that I should have my heart checked out. So, I was taken to the hospital emergency room. Even though an electrocardiogram did not indicate a problem, the emergency-room doctor thought it best to keep me overnight and do some further testing the next morning.
There I was that night, lying in bed, hooked up to a heart monitor, possibly having had damage to my heart. Needless to say, I was not feeling very pleased especially since I had not quite reached the age of fifty. It was then that I remembered a dream I had had about a week before, which I had described to two other staff members.
In the dream I was sitting up in a bed similar to the hospital bed in which I was now lying. A woman, another staff member, had her arm around my shoulders and was comforting me. I knew that in the dream this woman represented the Mother Flame and Mother Mary. She told me, “Your heart is fine.”
At the time, I thought the dream might have spiritual significance. Even so, I had made calls for the protection of my heart and the hearts of everyone around me.
As I lay in the hospital bed remembering the dream, I was again comforted. I knew that no matter what had occurred earlier that day, my heart was fine. I marveled that such comfort had been given even before it was needed. I am grateful to Mother Mary and Kuan Yin for such a blessing. They are truly so very close to each one of us.
After further tests the next morning, including a jog on a treadmill and a checkup two weeks later, there was no evidence that a heart attack had occurred. I decided that even though I had not had a heart attack, I would take the event as a warning and get my body in better shape. Exercise is now tops on my list and “rebounding” has become part of my daily routine.
Another interesting thing is that the day I had the symptoms was my fifteenth anniversary on staff. What a wonderful anniversary gift of comfort Mother Mary gave to me–ahead of time!
In gratitude for the presence of the Mother Flame, I send my love to you and all of our other Mothers above.
