We are not our "bodies" of which there are four.  We also have a spiritual Etheric (Fire) Body, and a Mental (Air) Body.  The soul is housed in these four interpenetrating vessels during its sojourn on earth.  But, we are also more than just a soul; we are also a spirit, for we have the Spirit of the Son of God (Gal 4:6) in our Heart of hearts standing as the "Open Door" to the kingdom of heaven that is also within us (Luke 17:21).  The soul, in all of us, is feminine; while the spirit, in all of us, is masculine.  The soul must unite with our spirit and thus we "let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus" (Phil 2:5).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our Emotional Body can feel pain and be hurt.  Many "physical" diseases are a precipitate of that pain.  The main reason that emotional hurts and pain become physical diseases is because of a lack of forgiveness.  Lack of forgiveness is the cause of "Hardness of Heart" and how many people are experiencing some form of heart disease these days?  Lack of forgiveness creates a barrier between ourselves and God and Jesus was very concerned about that.  When we do something that we know is not right we must immediately ask God for forgiveness because he has already forgiven us, even before we ask, but we must ask in order to receive.  Mat 21:22 "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We must daily ask God for forgiveness for offenses, known or unknown, with which we have offended God.  We must forgive ourselves.  We must forgive all whom we have wronged and all who have wronged us.  We must even forgive God, for many blame God for the things which they suffer.  Forgiveness is the first step in healing.  This is how Jesus healed.  Forgiveness is a setting aside, for a time, of the weight of error that we call sin.  I can forgive a child for spilling its milk, but the milk must be cleaned up, and a wise parent will have the child assist in helping clean up the mess.  God is our wise parent.  He has forgiven us for making a mess, but he also expects us to clean up after ourselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isa 1:18 "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gen 1:3 "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."  All of Creation was formed out of God's Light by the intonation of the WORD.  The Word established the multitude of vibrational patterns which formed the various aspects of the Creation.  You may like to watch this video to see how physical sound impacts physical substance &lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05Io6lop3mk .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our words also have power and our words can hurt or heal.  I made an earlier post about the name of God, I AM THAT I AM, and how we take God's name in vain by saying "I am" and follow it with some negative statement like sick, tired, poor, angry, livid, worthless, a sinner, etc.  Jesus only affirmed truth by using God's I Am name like this: "I am the way", "I am the truth", "I am the life", etc.  When we say "I am" we are really saying "God in me is" because the kingdom of God is within us (Luke 17:21).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deu 4:24  "Our God is a consuming fire."  1 John 1:5  "God is light, and in him is no darkness at all."  God's Light is vibrating at such a high frequency that it appears as fire.  The Seven Rays of the Rainbow are a refraction of the Light of God through the Crystal Diamond Shining Mind of Christ.  Each Ray of God's Light has specific powers and virtues such as Love, Wisdom, Power, Truth, Purity, Freedom, Mercy and Forgiveness.  The Seventh Ray of the Rainbow, the Violet Ray, is God's Universal Solvent and Cosmic Eraser because it is the Ray of Freedom, Mercy and Forgiveness.  Jesus used this Ray to heal and perform such miracles as the changing of water to wine and he knew that the Comforter would come after him to reveal all things and that we would one day learn the meaning and use of that Ray and all of the Rays of the Rainbow.  That is why he said that we would be able to do the things that he did and even greater things (John 14:12).  When we use God's I AM name and affirm like this:  "I am a being of violet fire, I am the purity God desires", we are affirming that "God in me is a being of violet fire, God in me is the purity God desires".  We can use the same form of affirmation to affirm that "the earth is a planet of violet fire, the earth is the purity God desires", or "my heart is a heart of violet fire, my heart is the purity God desires".  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Violet Flame transforms the substance and patterns of sin, of misused energy, by transmuting the cause and core; cause, effect, record and memory of the sin back into light and thus freeing it forever so that the light may return to God and be stored as our treasure in heaven.  And thus the saying in Isaiah is fulfilled. "though your sins be (vibrating at a low rate that appears) scarlet, they shall be white (pure) as snow".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1990125730571226562-5295513917410084605?l=carltonnewman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/feeds/5295513917410084605/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1990125730571226562&amp;postID=5295513917410084605&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/5295513917410084605'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/5295513917410084605'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/2012/01/hurt-feelings-disease-and-healing.html' title='Hurt Feelings, Disease and Healing Through Forgiveness'/><author><name>Carlton Newman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06059518479789952787</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jh_iFw6ZrTE/Stdfr3hJxLI/AAAAAAAAAAM/aUpSxdEFoNM/S220/CARLTON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990125730571226562.post-8330457698122195067</id><published>2012-01-03T23:59:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-03T23:59:48.941-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Exd 20:7 "Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain."</title><content type='html'>Exd 20:7 "Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exd 3:14 "And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you." That name is an affirmation of True Being: As Above So Below; I Am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luke 17:21 "...the kingdom of God is within you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you say "I am" you are really saying "God in me is" and God AFFIRMS whatever you say next as your truth and your reality. If you say something negative like: angry, bored, worthless, a sinner, sick, livid, etc., etc., THAT IS TAKING GOD'S NAME IN VAIN and God affirms that as your truth and your reality as sin upon you. Jesus always affirmed TRUTH when he said things like: "I am the way", "I am the truth", "I am the life", "I am the resurrection", "I am the door", "I am the light of the world", "I am able to do this", "I am come to send fire on the earth". Deu 4:24 "Our God is a consuming fire". We can and should affirm only truth as Jesus did, even affirming what he affirmed. You can affirm "I am that I am", meaning, "God in me is here below, just as God in me is there above". "I am thy kingdom come on earth even as it is in heaven."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mat 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are here in the earth to learn the "right use ness" (righteousness) of God's energy. All of Creation is composed of God's Light and Light is self luminous, innately intelligent, conscious energy. The power of the WORD (Christ) is the power to create. Gen 1:3 "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light." So we see that out of the Spoken Word of God, out of the Light, God caused all things in Creation to be made. Gen 1:26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jhn 5:19 "Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise." 1Jo 3:2 "Beloved, now are we the sons of God..." Mat 5:14 "Ye are the light of the world..." Jhn 13:16 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him." We are brethren, we are joint heirs in Christ with Jesus. What Jesus did we can also do because he prepared the way for us. Jhn 14:12 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what are you waiting for? Phl 2:5 "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." Luk 2:49 "... I must be about my Father's business." How about you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jesus came not to glorify himself but to glorify God by doing the works of God as an "anointed one", anointed by the Light, the Light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world (John 1:9). As long as he was in the world he was the Light of the world because he had the greatest amount of that Christ Light of all those in the world. But at the conclusion of his mission to awaken us to our own Christ identity he said Mat 5:14 "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid." These words echo these words of the Lord: Eph 5:8 "For ye were sometimes darkness, but now [are ye] light in the Lord: walk as children of light." We are all children of Light and Jesus was our elder brother for we are all brethren of the One God, our Father in Heaven, the Father of Lights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We "were sometimes darkness" and these words were reiterated by Jesus when he said: Mat 6:23 "But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great [is] that darkness." How can light be darkness? Light is Energy. We are in the earth to learn righteousness, the right use of God's energy. When we misuse God's energy, as in using God's Name, I AM THAT I AM, or just I AM, in Vain then we cast a pall of darkness on that energy and it becomes sin (negative energy). Evil is an acronym for two words: "energy" "veiled". Energy veiled in darkness is evil and that energy still has intelligence and consciousness. That dark, evil, energy forms a "Not Self", a Dweller on the Threshold, that opposes our Christ Consciousness which is forming in us as we "let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus" (Phil 2:5)"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jesus re-established our connection to God through his own Sacred Heart. It is through the Christ of Jesus that our own Christ identity is established. As we believe on him and the works that he did, we maintain our "link" to God whose works we must also do. Our belief in the Christ of Jesus allows our own Christ to develop within us. Whoever denies the Christ in one of these least brethren also denies the Christ of Jesus. We are meant to do the same things that Jesus did and even greater things. Peter also walked on the water. The Disciples of Jesus and the Other 70 cast out devils in Jesus' name. Devils are "deified" entities formed of the "energy veiled in darkness". These anti-God, anti-Christ forms of anti-life also oppose us. The Gadarene Demoniac was a man possessed of many of these devils when Jesus met him and cast them out of him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is now our time to Shine and to exercise Christ in ourselves. The Christ in us is the "shoulder" upon whom the government should rest (Isa 9:6). We should be electing people to public office who are manifesting their Christ Consciousness. As we manifest our own Christ Consciousness then the kingdom (consciousness) of God will be in earth even as it is in heaven.

The goal should not be to "get rid of the mind". Your mental body is one of your "Four Lower Bodies": Etheric, Mental, Emotional and Physical, and the mind is a function of the mental body. Suicide in any of the Four Lower Bodies is not lawful and will only set you back on the Path. You must learn to love yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The goal should be to raise your vibration in order to contact your Higher Christ-Krishna Mind (Phil 2:5). Your point of contact with that Higher Mind is through the Unfed Threefold Flame, the Spirit of the Son of God (Gal 4:6) within your Heart of hearts, the Secret Chamber of the Heart Chakra, the "Open Door" to the kingdom of God within you (Luke 17:21).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your rate of vibration determines your state of consciousness. Sin or negative karma, is energy that is vibrating at a very low level and therefore cannot complete the circuit and return to God. It is dark, stagnant, putrid energy that weighs you down with its burden. The Science of the Spoken Word which is the science behind Mantra, utilizes the power of the WORD (Logos, Son, Vishnu) to unleash higher vibrations that begin to resonate within your being and thus raising all to a higher vibration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Repeating mantras is not just saying words. You must engage your heart and mind with the Word. You must draw on the Fire that God has placed in your Unfed Threefold Flame and project it out of your heart by the power of the Throat Chakra as you intone the Word.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The names of God, when intoned as a mantra, release the power of God encapsulated in that name. The AUM and OM when intoned as a mantra are like a homing beacon and signal to God your surrender to his will. Intoning the name of God, I AM THAT I AM, affirms God's Presence within you here below just as God is above and you begin to resonate the vibration of God within you and the vibration of your consciousness begins to rise to a new level. As you are able to sustain that level of consciousness and build on it, you rise higher and higher into the arms of your True Christ-Krishna Self.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you find a mantra that particularly resonates for you and you make it your own, you become one with it and it becomes one with you and a necessary healing of the soul takes place. There are many mantras and decrees which are worded formulas designed for a specific need and purpose. There are the mantras to the 33 Manifestations of Avalokitesvara as Kuan Yin of which this is an example http://tsl.org/2009/10/youtube-mantra-avalokitesvara-as-kuan-yin/ .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mantra OM MANI PADME HUM (hail the jewel in the lotus) is further described here http://www.dharma-haven.org/tibetan/meaning-of-om-mani-padme-hung.htm .  The Golden Mantra to Padma Sambhava, also called the Vajra Guru Mantra is further described here http://tsl.org/2010/09/mantra-padma-sambhava-the-golden-mantra/ Om Ah Hum Vajra Guru Padma Siddhi Hum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And of course, the Violet Flame Mantra, "I am a being of violet fire, I am the purity God desires" is a mantra of liberation and freedom that transmutes and frees lower vibrating energy so that it can express its true higher vibration.  This is another Violet Flame Mantra http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTs7VfbA_08 .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This mantra to the Holy Christ Flame is specifically intended to help you "let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus" (Phil 2:5)&lt;br /&gt;http://tsl.org/2011/11/zoroastrian-zarathustra-heart-meditation/ &lt;br /&gt;“O Mighty Threefold Flame of Life”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. O mighty threefold flame of life,&lt;br /&gt;Thou gift of God so pure,&lt;br /&gt;Take my thoughts and energy&lt;br /&gt;And make them all secure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Under bond of brotherhood&lt;br /&gt;And understanding fair,&lt;br /&gt;Send thee forth unto my soul&lt;br /&gt;The gift of holy prayer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Communication’s strands of love,&lt;br /&gt;How they woo by heaven’s law&lt;br /&gt;A tender blessing for the good,&lt;br /&gt;Releasing holy awe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. That draws me near the throne of grace&lt;br /&gt;To now behold thy sacred face&lt;br /&gt;And without fear dispense aright&lt;br /&gt;The passions of pure God-delight&lt;br /&gt;Which set me free from all that’s been&lt;br /&gt;The sinful nature of all men.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Christ, raise me to self-mastery,&lt;br /&gt;The living passion of the free.&lt;br /&gt;Determination, now arise&lt;br /&gt;And lift me ever to the skies!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. I AM, I AM, I AM&lt;br /&gt;Enfolding life and being all&lt;br /&gt;With the God-command&lt;br /&gt;“Amen!” that shatters human pall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. I AM, I AM, I AM&lt;br /&gt;The free—no bondage holds me back;&lt;br /&gt;I AM the fullness of Love’s law&lt;br /&gt;Supplying every lack,&lt;br /&gt;And consecration in full measure&lt;br /&gt;Is my will and God’s own pleasure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Saint Germain and Jesus dear,&lt;br /&gt;Hold my hand with Morya’s here&lt;br /&gt;And let the love of Mary then&lt;br /&gt;Be the wings to raise all men.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Until they all unite in Love&lt;br /&gt;To serve that purpose from above&lt;br /&gt;That comes to earth at any hour&lt;br /&gt;Responding to the call of Power;&lt;br /&gt;Send thy shining Wisdom then&lt;br /&gt;That is God’s love&lt;br /&gt;Expanded for all men.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thank thee and I accept this done right now with full power. I am this done right now with full power. This is the full manifestation of the Law of Love that raises me to my eternal victory, now and forever!  (*From the ascended master Zarathustra s dictation, published in the Pearls of Wisdom® vol  8 no  50, December 12, 1965 www.tsl.org.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The key to raising your vibration is faithful, consistent, constant, daily recitation of the mantras.  Each day you are presented with a new packet of your karma which you are intended to transmute and liberate.  Mat 6:34 "...Sufficient unto the day [is] the evil thereof."  By faithfully transmuting each days "evil" (energy veiled in darkness), we gradually and safely raise our vibration and consciousness to a higher and higher level until we are no longer operating out of our lower mind, but we are operating out of our Higher Christ-Krishna Mind.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1990125730571226562-6957712516437377274?l=carltonnewman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/feeds/6957712516437377274/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1990125730571226562&amp;postID=6957712516437377274&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/6957712516437377274'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/6957712516437377274'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/2011/12/putting-on-that-mind-that-was-also-in.html' title='Putting On That Mind That Was Also in Christ Jesus (Phil 2:5)'/><author><name>Carlton Newman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06059518479789952787</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jh_iFw6ZrTE/Stdfr3hJxLI/AAAAAAAAAAM/aUpSxdEFoNM/S220/CARLTON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990125730571226562.post-6243092158372190553</id><published>2011-11-18T07:17:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-18T07:17:28.952-08:00</updated><title type='text'>What Happens When We "Die".  Is That All There Is?</title><content type='html'>In reality there is no "Death". The soul is a living potential temporarily housed in four vessels, four lower bodies, while in "physical" incarnation for the purpose of gaining mastery in the correct (righteous) use of God's energy. Time and Space provide artificial coordinates for the soul to navigate in while growing in wisdom and knowledge and righteousness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The four lower bodies vibrate at different frequencies but are all considered part of our "physical" body. They are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Etheric body; the highest vibrating vessel is our Fire body. This is the body of Memory and contains all of the records of all our incarnations. The chakras are the organs of the etheric body and act as step down transformers for the energy of God which we receive from the heart of God over the Crystal Cord which is also called the Crystal River of the Water of Life (Rev 22:1). The soul is tethered to our "physical" bodies at the Seat of the Soul chakra which is half way between the base of the spine and the navel. When we get a "gut" feeling, an intuitive sense or warning, it may be from our soul or Higher Self trying to inform, warn or instruct us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mental body; our Air Body is the body of mind and cognition. The brain is like a computer and storage device which the mind uses but it is not the only such. The heart and the gut also have neurons for processing and storing information. This is our "lower mind". Our Higher Mind is also called our Holy Christ-Krishna Self which resides just above us in vibration in another dimension. Within the Secret Chamber of the Heart chakra burns an Unfed Threefold Flame (Blue Flame=Power=Father=Brahma, Yellow Flame=Wisdom=Son=Christ-Krishna=Vishnu, Pink Flame=Love=Holy Spirit=Shiva) which is also known as the Spirit of the Son of God (Gal 4:6). This Flame is our "Portal" or "Open Door" to the kingdom of God within us (Luke 17:21). When the soul unites with this Flame in stages, it puts on that Christ-Krishna Mind (Phil 2:5) and the individualized Presence of God, the Mighty I Am Presence, draws closer to us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Emotional (Astral) body; our Water body is the body of desire which should reflect God's desires in and through us. Emotion means "energy in motion". If we are able to maintain calm in our emotions then the emotional body will reflect the "image" of God and our Great Causal Body of Light. If we allow our emotional body to be disturbed and upset then it can quickly become like a "raging sea", tumultuous, tempestuous, angry and ferocious. It's angry waves will lash out at others trying to "upset" them. There is tremendous power in the ocean and in our desire body and the misuse of energy resulting from an "out of control" emotional body results in serious negative karma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Physical body; our Earth body gives us mobility and the ability to manipulate "material" substance. It is the body that we most identify with because it is the body that we can "see". Because the brain is a physical instrument, more attention is paid to it than to the Higher or lower mind which uses it. The center of Higher intelligence is actually the heart, and the Flame within our Heart of hearts, as I stated earlier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Physical Plane is the place of experimentation and change.  Here is where we perform our experiments in life using the energy of God.  The impartial and impersonal laws of Karma and Re-incarnation provide a tutorial function to instruct the soul on the results of it's experiments, both positive and negative.  The soul experiences the "effects" of its "sowings" by the conditions it encounters in subsequent incarnations both in the state of its four lower bodies and in the circumstances and situations it encounters during those incarnations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the Physical body is at rest in sleep, or deep meditation, the soul is free to travel in either the Etheric body or in the Astral body. When the soul departs the Physical body in these sojourns it is said that it is "dead" to the Physical body. Thus the expression "I die daily" (1 Cor 15:31) refers to this departure. Since there really is no time or space, the soul may travel instantly to far distant locals, even other planets or the sun, and return.  The state of consciousness of the soul and the purpose intended for it, determines whether the soul travels in the Etheric or in the Astral body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Etheric Plane (Heaven) contains 33 levels of light, of frequency, of dimension from Devacon (wish fulfillment) to just below the Ascended Octaves of Eternal Life, Light and Freedom.  Beings like us who have graduated from the planetary schoolrooms and have re-united with their God Presence are known as Ascended Masters and may bear the title of God or Goddess of a particular virtue of God.  These great beings of Light maintain Spiritual Retreats and Universities of the Spirit within the Etheric Plane and located over specific physical landmarks.  Our soul may travel to these Retreats while the physical body is at rest or during the interim between incarnations that we call "death".  Here our soul will be tutored and we may even receive instruction and inspiration for an invention or something that will better life in the physical plane.  Some scientists have even recalled awakening with the solution to mathematical or other problems they and their group have been wrestling with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Astral Plane was intended to reflect the pure desires of God but instead has become a sewer of dark emotional disturbances such as anger, hatred, lies, murder, insanity, rage, etc.  There are 33 levels of darkness in the Astral Plane which range in degree and vibration from Purgatory to the Pit of Hell.  This is the place of nightmares.  Nothing good can ever come out of the Astral Plane.  There are no schools there and there is no continuity of experience.  It is a constantly fluctuating, roiling, disturbing place where you may never see the same souls twice.  There are no family units or any other form of social unit.  No spiritual progress can be made while there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each of the four lower bodies, except the Etheric Fire Body, has a decay rate; they wear out and must be shed.  The shedding of these bodies is what we superstitiously call "death".  The soul "migrates" to that plane and dimension equivalent to its spiritual development and attainment (or lack thereof).  This is the meaning of Rev 22:11 "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still."  The soul will remain detached from the physical body for a period of very short duration to many hundreds or thousands of years.  The soul must re-incarnate in karmic circumstances and among souls who have similar karmic patterns which they must work out together.  The timing of the return of the soul into incarnation is very precise and has lately been greatly disturbed and interfered with by the practice of abortion and infanticide.  Regardless of the state of the "bodies", they are the bodies that the soul must incarnate in to balance their karma.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1990125730571226562-6243092158372190553?l=carltonnewman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/feeds/6243092158372190553/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1990125730571226562&amp;postID=6243092158372190553&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/6243092158372190553'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/6243092158372190553'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/2011/11/what-happens-when-we-die-is-that-all.html' title='What Happens When We &quot;Die&quot;.

We are all part of the Father.  We are all made of the same "God stuff".  Most people "think" themselves separate from God.  They make themselves separate from God; they cut themselves off from God.  Jesus came to show us, to demonstrate to us, and to admonish us to "wake up" and realize that the Father is in us, just as he was in Jesus.  Luke 17:21 "...the kingdom of God is within you."  We are One.  When we are totally congruent with and realize that we are really God, then yes, what you really see is God.  Jesus knew himself as One with God and in beholding him you were beholding God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The transubstantiation of the Bread and the Wine, the Sacred Eucharist, in the ritual of communion is a mystical process.  It is not "symbolic" but actual.  Physical substance can be charged and infused with the Light of any Ascended Master in answer to our call.  Jesus charged clay with his Light to heal the eyes of a blind man.  In the ritual of communion, Jesus "charges" the Bread with the vibration of his Spiritual Light Body and the Wine (grape juice is fine and preferred) with the vibration of his Holy Spirit Essence (Blood).  When we eat that Bread (Body) and drink that Wine (Blood) we take into ourselves those essences.  What you eat you become.  By this process we are intended to "put on" and "Become" our own Christ and "let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus" (Phil 2:5).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thoughts are energy, a vibration, and can be transmitted telepathically.  There are many forms of prayer:  A desire of the heart; a silent formulation of thought in the mind; a spoken cry or call or mantra or decree; a song; a chant, a mantra.  When you lift your thoughts to God (God in an Ascended Master such as Jesus), you establish a connection over which that Master may return his or her Light to you to answer your need.  It is like making a phone call but most people hang up (stop praying) before the connection is made and therefore they do not receive the answer.  Like the multiplication of the loaves and fishes, there must be something for the Master to multiply.  Your prayer, your call gives the Master some of your energy which he multiplies and returns to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Evil is Energy Veiled in darkness.  We have entombed ourselves in a sarcophagus of negative, evil energy.  When we say a mantra such as the Violet Flame Mantra:  "I am a being of violet fire, I am the purity God desires", we give our energy so that it can be multiplied and return to us as Violet Fire which is God's Universal Solvent and Cosmic Eraser.  By continuously giving the mantra you establish a flow which begins to transmute and transform your evil, dark, negative energy back to light.  You begin to become "lighter" and free of burdens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story of Adam and Eve is an allegory (Gal 4:24).  Serpent is the name of a certain fallen angel who used his cunning to deceive and trick Eve into performing a disobedient act.  Adam and Eve were advanced initiates in a Mystery School that existed on the now sunken continent of Lemuria (Mu).  Their disobedience caused them to be cast out of that Mystery School  called Eden.  Taking in the "knowledge of good and evil" introduced the state of "relativity" into their consciousness; relative good and relative evil.  Evil is a temporary state but giving it our attention gives it power over us.  In our present state of returning to the Pure Edenic Consciousness, we must be able to behold God Good and its opposing force of evil in order to challenge and transform that evil back to light.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1990125730571226562-7856726641142810314?l=carltonnewman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/feeds/7856726641142810314/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1990125730571226562&amp;postID=7856726641142810314&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/7856726641142810314'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/7856726641142810314'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/2011/10/correcting-some-misconceptions.html' title='Correcting Some Misconceptions'/><author><name>Carlton Newman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06059518479789952787</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jh_iFw6ZrTE/Stdfr3hJxLI/AAAAAAAAAAM/aUpSxdEFoNM/S220/CARLTON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990125730571226562.post-4679824342633224388</id><published>2011-10-06T06:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-06T06:07:13.328-07:00</updated><title type='text'>What is truth? (John 18:38). Pilate wanted to know and we all need to know. What is truth and how do we discern it?</title><content type='html'>There is Absolute Truth in Reality and there is relative truth in relativity. We exist in the planes of relativity where nothing is constant except change. Truth is the Light of Absolute Reality, the standard by which we try to transform our relative realities to conform with Reality. We are in a process of discovering who we Really Are. As we gain new knowledge of truth we have the ability to transform ourselves to conform with that truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do we know the "Truth"? Luke 17:21 "...the kingdom of God is within you"; and "God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts..." (Gal 4:6). Therefore the Truth exists within us and acts as a tuning fork that vibrates in harmony with truth when we hear the truth. We therefore say things like "that rings true", or "that feels right", or "that sounds strange" or "that smells fishy". The individualized Presence of the "I AM THAT I AM", the Mighty I Am Presence is just above us (in vibration and location) as well as our Higher Mind, the Holy Christ Self. These are the Reality of who we are becoming and they guide us in that "still small voice" which I have also heard as a booming voice. We may feel a burning in our hearts as the Disciples did when Jesus appeared to them after his Resurrection (Luke 24:32) and opened the scriptures to them as they walked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, our soul resides at the point between the navel and base of the spine called the Seat of the Soul Chakra. When we get a "gut feeling" it is our soul trying to alert us about the truth or falsity of a matter, or about some "danger". We may get a "feeling" that we should take our umbrella with us, even though the sky is blue.  If we ignore that "voice", that prompting, we usually end up regretting it.  It may not actually rain.  That umbrella may be needed to ward of an attack from an animal.  Or it may be useful in reaching something or carrying something; we don't know.  We are learning to be obedient because 1 Sam 15:22 "...to obey [is] better than sacrifice, [and] to hearken than the fat of rams."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1990125730571226562-4679824342633224388?l=carltonnewman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/feeds/4679824342633224388/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1990125730571226562&amp;postID=4679824342633224388&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/4679824342633224388'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/4679824342633224388'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/2011/10/what-is-truth-john-1838-pilate-wanted.html' title='What is truth?

The soul does not die when the house it wore wears out. Death itself is not real but a process, a stage, a delineation point. It takes a minimum of 14,000 years for the soul to become One with the Word from whence it came.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before the Fall of the Angels and the subsequent Fall of Man, we had a vast amount of energy pouring into us constantly over the Crystal River of the Water of Life, the "Crystal Cord" (Rev 21:1). This Crystal Cord was nine feet in diameter and descended from the Heart of God, through the Lamb (our Holy Christ Self, Higher Mind) and into our Heart of hearts. The Energy that we received over the Crystal Cord sustained an Unfed Threefold Flame of Power, Wisdom and Love that engulfed our entire being. With that amount of energy at our disposal we were able to live for hundreds and even thousands of years in one "physical body" which is actually four bodies superimposed over one another (fire, air, water and earth). We were able to precipitate all of our needs directly from Universal Substance (Energy) and did not need to labor by the sweat of the brow. We were able to levitate ourselves and other objects. All of the miracles performed by Jesus were common place among all men and women and we will be able to perform them again as he promised (John 14:12).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because we had misused that great light and power given to us, causing us a great karmic burden and our "Fall", to prevent our self destruction the Cosmic Councils decreed the Word that curtailed the amount of energy that we could receive directly from God Source. That Crystal Cord was reduced from nine feet in diameter to the diameter of a human hair. The Threefold Flame was reduced to 1/16th of an inch and the lifespan of our "physical bodies) was shortened to three score and ten (70 years). The periodic shedding of the bodies became the norm and the "superstition of death" replaced our natural knowledge of everlasting life as we "forgot" our birthright and heritage. Ignoring God's Laws resulted in our ignorance of who we are and where we came from.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bodies terrestrial and celestial spoken of by Paul (1 Cor 15:40) describe the four lower bodies of man, the Higher Self (Christ Self), and Mighty I Am Presence (the Presence of the I AM THAT I AM individualized for every child of God). We have an etheric (fire) body, a mental (air) body, an emotional (water)a body and a physical (earth) body. When the physical body is at rest in sleep the soul can travel in either the etheric body of the emotional (Astral) body. There are 33 planes, dimensions, levels of the Etheric Plane and of the Astral Plane. The Etheric Plane ascends upwards in vibration from Devacon (wish fulfillment) to just below the Ascended Octaves of Eternal Life and Light. The Astral Plane descends in vibration from Purgatory to the absolute darkness of the Pit of Hell. Where we go in sleep and in the transitory period we call "death" depends on our level of spiritual development or lack of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Laws of Karma (cyclic return of energy) and Re-incarnation (cyclic return of the soul into physical existence) are our Tutor, our Teacher, since we have free will in our use of God's Light Energy. They "teach" us by allowing us to experience the results of the correct and incorrect uses of that energy. We experience, in the abilities and disabilities of our bodies (physical, emotional and mental), the results of our use of energy. Our karma dictates every aspect of our present and future "physical" lives. It is only while in physical form that we have the ability to change and each physical embodiment is an opportunity to transform ourselves from unreality to Reality, from corruptible to incorruptible, from mortal to immortal (1 Cor 15:53-54).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Death is a lie, a misnomer, an illusion because we no longer "See" the soul when it leaves physical form (though there are some who are able to "see"). Souls who leave the body suddenly through accident, war or other calamity and who do not have "spiritual awareness" often find themselves confused when they can no longer enter or even find their "physical" body. They may wander about in the Astral Plane thinking that they are still "physically alive" for a very long time. It may be a few years or even a thousand years before another "physical" body can be given to the soul. In the Astral Plane there is no continuity, no family structures, no recurring familiar land marks. It is a place of confusion and turmoil, the place of nightmares.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Etheric Plane there exist worlds that are more real than this physical world. There are Universities of the Spirit and Spiritual Retreats that exist under the guidance of our Elder Brothers and Sisters, the Ascended Masters, the Gods and Goddesses, who have become One with Christ and with God. They tutor and instruct us in preparation for further advancement on the Path to Oneness. They may challenge our concepts of who we are by putting us together with other souls who are our polar opposite. We may grate and rub against each other in those Retreats until we knock the "chips off of our shoulders".

Are there days when the pressures of life just seem unbearable?  Are there days when you just can't take the heat?  Are there days when you just want to collapse and give up?  The difference between a lump of coal and a diamond is a matter of degree; the result of the pressure and heat it was subjected to which caused the structure of the coal to collapse in upon itself until it formed an even stronger bond among the atoms it is composed of making it become transparent, lustrous and full of valuable properties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is a lump of coal?  I checked out Wikipedia.  "Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock normally occurring in rock strata in layers or veins called coal beds or coal seams. The harder forms, such as anthracite coal, can be regarded as metamorphic rock because of later exposure to elevated temperature and pressure. Coal is composed primarily of carbon along with variable quantities of other elements, chiefly hydrogen, with smaller quantities of sulfur, oxygen and nitrogen.  Coal begins as layers of plant matter accumulating at the bottom of a body of water. For the process to continue, the plant matter must be protected from biodegradation and oxidization, usually by mud or acidic water. This traps their carbon in immense peat bogs that are eventually covered over and deeply buried by sediments. Under this compression the plant material is metamorphosed into coal: over time, the chemical and physical properties of the plant remains are changed by geological action to create a solid material."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So coal is life, energy, which is transformed and stored in a different form.  As it is, that life energy can be released to enable other life and other forms of energy.  Energy is neither created nor destroyed.  It is transformed.  Coal was formed of dead, decaying life under  pressure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In our many lifetimes we have used and transformed the Light Energy that we have been given either directly from God our Source or indirectly from the Sun and other forms of life.  The energy that we have used is stamped with our unique identity.  When that energy is used for some positive good, it is transformed from an unqualified energy to a qualified energy with a distinct vibrational frequency pattern the color of one of the bands of the rainbow.  That rainbow light is energy with a particular power and virtue that is identified by its coloration.  It rises back to the Original Source, God, and is stored in our treasure house in heaven, our Great Causal Body of Light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, we have also misused a tremendous amount of energy.  The Light Energy that we have misused becomes impure and darkened.  That energy cannot return to Source so it remains "stuck" here on earth.  It gets stuck as a weight about us that hangs  like a ball and chains, or an inverted kettle drum full of dark sludge that hangs from our heart downward, or it becomes, among the electrons and nucleus of the atoms of our being, like molasses in a barrel of marbles.  We get sluggish, dull of hearing and dull of sight, dull of mind and dull of soul; we become just plain dull and lusterless because our light cannot shine through.  Our bodies become subject to decay, disease and death.  We become like a lump of coal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pressures of life, the pain, the sorrows, the conditions we bear in our bodies, the calamities of life, etc. are natures slow transmutative forces that are slowly working out the impurities of our misused energy.  Over many lifetimes we gradually transform our darkness back into light by this slow, grinding process.  Eventually the Diamond Crystal of the Mind of Christ, that is the Core of our being, begins to shine through.  This has been the Way of transformation since the fall of man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, with the advent and dawning of the Age of Aquarius we have been given a New Dispensation with new understanding and new tools for transformation.  The Seventh Ray of the Rainbow is the Violet Ray which is God's Universal Solvent and Cosmic Eraser.  When it is called forth into the physical dimensions it burst forth as a Spiritual Fire and Flame of the Holy Spirit.  When it enters the world and our bodies it rapidly and intelligently begins the work of transmuting our darkness back to light.  It frees our souls and minds so that we can perceive and incorporate in ourselves higher (frequency) concepts and higher patterns of the perfection of our Inner Christ.  As more and more patterns and frequencies of perfection replace the transmuted patterns and frequencies of darkness, we become free and more powerful beings.  The Boulder of Negativity that blocked the passage to the kingdom of God within us (Luke 17:21) is not only rolled away but is consumed and we step forth from our entombed being as the Risen Christ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mantra, the "I Am" affirmation which invokes this miraculous and liberating Violet Flame Energy is this:  "I am a being of violet fire, I am the purity God desires".  The name of God given to Moses on Mt Sinai is "I AM THAT I AM" (Exd 3:14) and that name contains the Power of God, AS ABOVE, SO BELOW.  Since the kingdom of God is within us (Luke 17:21), when we say "I am" we are saying "God in me is".  When we say the Violet Flame mantra we are saying "God in me is a being of violet fire, God in me is the purity God desires."  Our God is a consuming fire (Deu 4:24) and therefore we are using the Power of Truth to liberate ourselves from our darkness.  The Lump of coal transforms from a Diamond in the Rough to the full manifestation of the Diamond Shining Mind of God in the Christ, the Son (Sun), that we have become.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1990125730571226562-4004958944188306275?l=carltonnewman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/feeds/4004958944188306275/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1990125730571226562&amp;postID=4004958944188306275&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/4004958944188306275'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/4004958944188306275'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/2011/09/diamond-in-rough.html' title='The Diamond in the Rough'/><author><name>Carlton Newman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06059518479789952787</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jh_iFw6ZrTE/Stdfr3hJxLI/AAAAAAAAAAM/aUpSxdEFoNM/S220/CARLTON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990125730571226562.post-1247190173926047486</id><published>2011-08-18T02:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-01T02:04:09.509-07:00</updated><title type='text'>What is "Sin" and how can we free ourselves from its power over us?</title><content type='html'>To understand what sin is, we need to take a deeper look at it.  The following is from Wikipedia and then I will comment after.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A sin (also called peccancy) is an act that violates a known moral rule. The term sin may also refer to the state of having committed such a violation. Commonly, the moral code of conduct is decreed by a divine entity[citation needed], i.e. divine law. Sin may also refer to refraining from action or simply desiring to act in violation of a moral norm. Fundamentally, sin is rebellion against, or resistance to, the direction of supreme authority, and enmity toward, avoidance of, or hatred of the good.[1][2][3] Sin may also refer to something within human nature that has a proclivity to sin (see concupiscence).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sin" is often used to mean an action that is prohibited or considered wrong. In some religions (notably in Christianity), sin can refer not only to physical actions taken, but also to thoughts and internalized motivations and feelings. Colloquially, any thought, word, or act considered immoral, selfish, shameful, harmful, or alienating might be termed "sinful".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An elementary concept of "sin" concerns acts and elements of mundane earthly living that one cannot take into transcendental living. Food, for example, while a necessary good for the (health of the temporal) body, is not of (eternal) transcendental living and therefore its excessive savoring is considered a sin.[4][5][6][7] A more complex concept of "sin," elaborated from Catholicism, deals with a distinction between destructive (deadly) sins (mortal sin) and the merely dishonorable (harmful) sins of careless human living (venial sin) frequently tolerated by societies as a whole, or even encouraged by various cultures. In that context, mortal sins (sacrilege, murder, mortal violence, devastating calumny, hatred) are said to have the dire consequence of mortal penalty, while sins of careless living (gluttony, casual or informal sexuality, constant play, inebriation, gambling) have been philosophically regarded by some as essential spice for "transcendent" living, even though these may be destructive in the context of human living (obesity, drunkenness, vagrancy, infidelity, child abandonment, criminal negligence). See Asceticism, Stoic philosophy, Epicurean philosophy, and Hedonism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Common ideas surrounding sin in various religions include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Punishment for sins, from other people, from God either in life or in afterlife, or from the Universe in general.&lt;br /&gt;The question of whether an act must be intentional to be sinful.&lt;br /&gt;The idea that one's conscience should produce guilt for a conscious act of sin.&lt;br /&gt;A scheme for determining the seriousness of the sin and the importance of responsibility.&lt;br /&gt;Repentance from (expressing regret for and determining not to commit) sin, and atonement (repayment) for past deeds.&lt;br /&gt;The possibility of forgiveness of sins, often through communication with a deity or intermediary; in Christianity often referred to as salvation. Crime and justice are related secular concepts."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question we must ask is "what is the common thread, what is the one common thing in all of this commentary?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The answer is: ENERGY, but specifically NEGATIVE ENERGY.  Whether you are talking about a physical action, a mental thought or an emotional feeling it takes energy, it uses energy, it affects energy.  Another word for energy is light.  Christ is the Word, the Logos, the Son, the Light that lights every man (and woman) that comes into the world (John 1:9).  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mat 4:4 "But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."  The Word of God is Power and that power is contained in the Light of God.   1 John 1:5 "This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all."  It is also written, Deu 4:24 "For the LORD thy God [is] a consuming fire, [even] a jealous God."  So we see then that our God is Light and Fire and the Son of God, the Word, Christ, is that Light.  Light is self-luminous, conscious, intelligent energy.  We receive that Light via an umbilical cord, the Crystal Cord, which extends from the Heart of the Father (our Mighty I Am Presence; the Presence of God "I AM THAT I AM idividualized for each of us), through the Heart of the Lamb (our own beloved Holy Christ Self) and into the Unfed Threefold Flame within our own Heart of hearts (the Secret Chamber of the Heart chakra).  Rev 22:1 "And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were created in the image and likeness of God.  Gen 1:26 "And God said , Let us make man in our image , after our likeness : and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air , and over the cattle, and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."  1 John 3:2 "Beloved , now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear , we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."  Gal 4:6 "And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father."  We have not yet become all that we were meant to be for we have not yet put on that mind which was also in Christ Jesus (Phil 2:5).  But the Spirit of the Son of God within our Heart of hearts is calling to us to "come up higher" and it will help us put on that Christ mind because 1 Cor 12:27 "Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular."  We were all created in the image and likeness of the Light (Christ) and we each have a unique function in that one body of Christ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are in the process of putting on our unique Christ Mind so that we may do those things which Jesus did and even greater things (John 14:12).  In order to fulfill these promises we must learn righteousness, the right-use-ness of God's ENERGY, God's LIGHT.  2 Sam 22:21 "The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me."  In other words, because he used God's Light and Energy correctly; heart, head and hand; he was rewarded.  Mat 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what happens when we "sin" and misuse God's Light and Energy.  When we misuse God's Light Energy, we put a veil of darkness over that Light.  Energy that is Veiled in darkness is E-Vil or evil.  Mat 6:23 "But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great [is] that darkness!"  The eye that is evil has a propensity to do evil acts, to think evil thoughts, to feel evil towards others and that is sin (darkened energy).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isa 1:18 "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The name of God given to Moses on Mt Sinai (Exd 3:14) as a testament and memorial forever is "I AM THAT I AM".  This name is an affirmation of True Being:  "AS ABOVE SO BELOW; I AM".  This Name of God is Power in the Word and when spoken releases the Light of God.  Luke 17:21 "...the kingdom of God is within you" and when you say "I am" you are really saying "God in me is".  God affirms whatever you say after saying "I am" as your reality, your "truth".  But we often take God's Name in Vain by saying NEGATIVE things like: angry, sick, tired, bored, a sinner, unworthy, incapable, an ignoramous and things like that.  That is misusing the Power and Light of the Name of God, I AM THAT I AM, and that is a sin (darkened energy).  Jesus often used the Name of God "I AM" in positive affirmations of TRUTH such as: John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth and the life", John 11:25 "I am the Resurrection and the Life", John 10:9 "I am the door:" .  We can also affirm these Truths within ourselves, rightly using God's energy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the Light of God passes through the crystal of the Mind of Christ it bursts forth as the Rays of the Rainbow.  Each Ray of Light has specific qualities, powers and virtues.  The Seventh Ray is the Violet Ray (Flame, Fire, Light) which is the New Wine of the Covenant, the Blood of Christ and has the powers, qualities and virtues of Freedom, Forgiveness, Mercy, Sacred Ritual, and Sacred Alchemy.  The Violet Flame is God's Universal Solvent and Cosmic Eraser with the power to Forgive sins (negative energy) so that energy can be free.  Using God's Name, I am, as an affirmation we can affirm God's Liberating Violet Fire in us to free us from our sins like this:  "I am a being of violet fire, I am the purity God desires."  We are affirming that "God in me is (I am) a being of violet fire, God in me is (I am) the purity God desires."  If we then make this affirmation a Song that we sing to God Above and to God Below (within us) we begin to experience the Liberating Joy of God in our lives.  Sing it or say it often, say it in sets of three in honor of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.  Say it when taking a shower, washing the dishes, cooking a meal, driving the car, or whenever you can spare a part of your attention from the task at hand.  If you can say it, uninterrupted, for fifteen minutes at a time you will begin to experience a Great Transformation in your being and you will be coming closer to putting on that Mind which was also in Christ Jesus.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1990125730571226562-1247190173926047486?l=carltonnewman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/feeds/1247190173926047486/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1990125730571226562&amp;postID=1247190173926047486&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/1247190173926047486'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/1247190173926047486'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/2011/08/what-is-sin-and-how-can-we-free.html' title='What is &quot;Sin&quot; and how can we free ourselves from its power over us?'/><author><name>Carlton Newman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06059518479789952787</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jh_iFw6ZrTE/Stdfr3hJxLI/AAAAAAAAAAM/aUpSxdEFoNM/S220/CARLTON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990125730571226562.post-5684073014782592111</id><published>2011-06-21T09:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-21T09:26:37.632-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Bodies Terrestrial and Bodies Celestial and How One Differs From Another</title><content type='html'>1Cr 15:40 "[There are] also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial [is] one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial [is] another." 2Cr 12:2 "I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven." 1Cr 15:31 "I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now if Paul was "out of his body" when he met the man in the third heaven, what body was he out of and what body did he wear when he was out of his other body? And just where is the third heaven? And, if Paul died daily, then how did he die and how did he resurrect himself again on a daily basis? Please bear with me as I answer these questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The soul and spirit are not the body but are "housed" in the vessels that we call the body for the purpose of incarnation. The soul "wears" four interpenetrating vessels that relate to the four elements of fire, air, water and earth. These are our "terrestrial bodies". The fire body is also called the etheric body and this is the memory body where the "records" of our life journey is stored. The air body is also called the mental body where the functions of the mind are performed in conjunction with the physical brain. The water body is also called our emotional or desire body and is sometimes known as the astral body. The earth body is our physical body and the one that we most identify with and think of as "us". The glory, the light, of each body is the vibrational rate or frequency of that body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now what body was Paul "out of" and how does that relate to "dying daily"? When our physical body is at rest in sleep, the soul is still fully functioning and is able to travel "out of" the physical body in one of the other bodies; usually either the etheric body or the astral body. When the soul leaves the physical body, the soul is in effect "dead" to that body but still alive in the other body. When the soul returns to the physical body upon awakening, the soul in effect "resurrects" the physical body again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now there are 33 levels or dimensions of frequency of the Etheric Plane (Heaven) that ascend from Devacon (Wish Fulfillment, levels 1-6) to the 33rd level just below the Ascended Octaves of Eternal Light and Life. There are spiritual Retreats and Universities of the Spirit in the Etheric Plane (Heaven) where our souls receive instruction and are tutored. And there are 33 levels or dimensions of frequency of the Astral Plane that descend from Purgatory (levels 1-6) to the Pit of Hell at the 33rd level of depravity. The Astral Plane was meant to reflect the pure desires of God but it has become a polluted sewer of ungodly desires and emotional upheaval. The Astral Plane is the place of nightmares. Our soul travels in that body which correlates with our souls spiritual development, or lack of it; or which provides the lesson our soul needs to learn. After his crucifixion, Jesus spent three days preaching to the souls caught in the Pit of Hell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rev 22:11 "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When our earthly sojourn is done and our soul may no longer return to the physical body, the soul will remain in that body and in that dimension of being relating to what it has accomplished spiritually while in the earth. This is what we have superstitiously called "death". If the soul has not used up its allotted time for soul evolution, the soul will be allowed to incarnate into a new set of bodies. The memory of past incarnations will be blocked as a mercy to the soul so that it will not be burdened by the memory of things done or not done in a previous "life". Attainment earned in past lives will be available to draw on and that is why some children, such as a Mozart or Beethoven, are able to compose music from an early age. And some souls may bear the burden of neglect from a previous life which will manifest as some sort of disability. And some souls, such as the man born blind, take on burdens that are not theirs in order to assist others. Jhn 9:2 "And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now we also have "celestial bodies", bodies of light.  Jhn 14:2 "In my Father's house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you."  Mat 6:20 "But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal."  We have a Great Causal Body of Light which is both our treasure house in heaven and the many mansions of our Father's house.  This Causal Body is composed of concentric rings of light and fire the colors of the Rainbow (wheels within wheels).  This is our home of Light and the Rainbow was the sign given to Noah to comfort him and to remind him of where his true home lay.  The Causal Body surrounds the Presence of God, The Mighty I AM Presence, the Presence of the I AM THAT I AM (which Moses saw when it burned in the bush that was not consumed) which is individualized for every son and daughter of God.  We also have a Higher Mind, the Christ Mind which is our unique Holy Christ Self and a "member in particular" in the One body of Christ (1 Cor 12:27).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each moment of our life, we receive Light from the Father to nourish us.  Mat 4:4 "But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."  Jhn 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."  The Word is Christ, the Light, Jhn 1:9 "[That] was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world."  In our etheric body there are spiritual organs just as our physical body has physical organs.  The organs of the etheric body are known by their Sanskrit name, "chakra" which means wheel.  A chakra is a whirling vortice of light which acts as a step down transformer for the pure light of God that we receive in order to distribute that light to the other bodies.  There are 7 major chakras (7 churches in the body of man) from the base of the spine to the crown of the head.  And there are 144 minor chakras, 5 Secret Ray chakras, and a very special chakra called "The Secret Chamber of the Heart" which St Teresa of Avila called "The Interior Castle".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Within the Secret Chamber of the Heart (our Heart of hearts) there abides the Spirit of the Son of God (Gal 4:6) that is an Unfed Threefold Flame of Power (blue, Father), Wisdom (yellow, Son) and Love (pink, Holy Spirit).  This Flame is our "open door", our "Portal" to the kingdom of God within us (Luke 17:21) and it is the means by which we put on that mind which was also in Christ Jesus (Phil 2:5).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The light that we receive from the Father is his gift to us and is ours to use according to our free will.  As we use that light, our identity is stamped upon it.  As we use that light to perform our Sacred Labor and use that light righteously, then that light is "qualified" by vibration as a frequency of light the color of one of the rainbow rays.  That light is free to complete the circuit to God and is stored in our Causal Body as our treasure in heaven.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, if we misuse that light, that energy of God, in riotous living, then we cast a pall upon it and darken it and it becomes veiled in darkness (energy veiled or e-vil, which is evil).  Mat 6:23 "But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great [is] that darkness.?"  Since that evil, that darkened light belongs to us, only we have the power to free it.  It must cycle back to us for redemption, and when it does then it can cause us great burdens and calamities until it is expiated by pain and suffering, service to life, prayer and invocation or by scientific affirmations and mantra which draw to us the light of God; particularly the Violet Light (Ray, Flame, Fire) of the Rainbow which is God's Universal Solvent and Cosmic Eraser.  Using the name of God, I AM THAT I AM, as Jesus did to affirm Truth, we can say "I am a being of violet fire, I am the purity God desires" to affirm the Truth of God's Violet Light to wash our sins (evil) and make them white as snow.  That light and energy is now free to return to God and also be stored in our treasure house in heaven, our Great Causal Body of Light.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1990125730571226562-5684073014782592111?l=carltonnewman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/feeds/5684073014782592111/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1990125730571226562&amp;postID=5684073014782592111&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/5684073014782592111'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/5684073014782592111'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/2011/06/bodies-terrestrial-and-bodies-celestial.html' title='Bodies Terrestrial and Bodies Celestial and How One Differs From Another'/><author><name>Carlton Newman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06059518479789952787</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jh_iFw6ZrTE/Stdfr3hJxLI/AAAAAAAAAAM/aUpSxdEFoNM/S220/CARLTON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990125730571226562.post-3714546540931310547</id><published>2011-02-18T06:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-18T06:05:24.387-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Cause and Effect of Insanity and Suicide - Denial of God</title><content type='html'>There is a saying that he whom God would destroy he first makes insane. God takes no pleasure in the Second Death of the wicked. God has extended the opportunity for eternal life to all who would avail themselves of the opportunity. God is Eternal Love, Mercy, and Forgiveness. But God is ultimately merciful to himself since all creation is composed of his Light, Energy, Consciousness and has Innate Intelligence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God has allotted a period of time for reunion with Him. Those who have no soul can apply to God and petition Him for a soul. Those who have no Threefold Flame or who have snuffed out their Threefold Flame can petition to have it re-ignited. There is abundant opportunity for all in the adoption of sons (Rom 8:15 and Rom 8:23). But, the opportunity does not last forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God has suffered. Yes God is self-sacrificing, selfless service to all life that is God. His children are intended to become one with his Only Begotten Son, the Christ of whom we are all one body and members in particular (1 Cor 12:27). When parts of life turn God's Light to darkness (energy veiled or evil), God suffers and Christ is crucified again and again. God bears this all out of Love for the creation but He cannot allow it to last forever by a back door endowment of eternal life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life in the Matter Cosmos consisting of all of the systems of worlds throughout Cosmos is temporary and ever changing. The Matter Cosmos is the Womb of the Divine Mother and the planets are school rooms for the development of souls. God would endow his children with His All. He would make us One with Him; endowing us with His All Power in heaven and in earth as we exercise dominion over all of the creation. We surrender our "nothing", our limited self consciousness, and God gives us the All of His Cosmic Consciousness. That is the deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those souls who continue in their rebellious refusal to accept God's Gift of Eternal Life come to an end that is called The Second Death. In previous posts I have explained that there is no "death". While the soul is evolving it may wear many different bodies. Each time we go to sleep our soul may travel out of the physical body in either the Astral (emotional, water) or Etheric (memory, fire) body in one of the 33 levels of the Astral or Etheric Planes. When the soul is out of the physical body in sleep, that is a daily "dying" to that body ("I die daily", 1 Cor 15:31). When the physical body is no longer a fitting habitation for the soul, the soul may no longer return to it (Rev 22:11) and it remains at the highest or lowest level of its development.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eventually, everything returns to God one way or another. We either Ascend in our Christ Consciousness or our opportunity for eternal life is terminated in the Second Death. The process of both events is the same. We stand on a Dias and the Light of God as His All Consuming Fire (Deu 4:24, Hbr 12:29) descends upon us. If we have balanced at least 51% of our karma (negative energy) then we will Ascend and be permanently fused to our own individualized Presence of God, our own Mighty I Am Presence, and we will then continue to balance the remaining 49% of our karma from the Ascended state. If on the other hand, all of our light (or most of it) has been turned to darkness (Mat 6:23) then when that Light and Fire of God descends upon us, then we will be Totally Consumed, cancelled out, and all light, energy, and consciousness that was part of that one is demagnetized, repolarized and recycled to the Great Central Sun and the pool of unmanifest energy. It is a free will choice. God is not attached. It is our decision and ours alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Definition of Insanity and Suicide is separation from God. The original suicide was committed by Lucifer. The absence of the pure light of God creates insanity. The more darkness, the greater the insanity. God does not make us insane. We make ourselves insane by turning God's Light to darkness. Insanity is no excuse. Ignorance (ignoring God's Laws) is no excuse. The soul made its choice and the end is known from the beginning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have been given the blessing of the knowledge and use of God's Universal Solvent, His Cosmic Eraser, the Violet Transmuting Flame of the Holy Spirit. We have been given a mantra to invoke and draw down that Violet Flame to us in order to free ourselves gradually from the darkness that we have blinded ourselves with. The mantra is this: "I am a being of violet fire, I am the purity God desires". It is an affirmation using God's Name "I AM THAT I AM", that affirms that where God is in me, there he is as his violet flame turning darkness back into the purity that he desires. This mantra can be given any time; taking a shower, washing the dishes, walking the dog, driving to work or an errand, cooking a meal, etc., etc. The more you do it the more you are cleansed by it. A pump can pump a great quantity of water through a hose by pumping a very small quantity rapidly with each stroke of the engine. Our heart and voice engaged as one is the pump that pumps the Violet Flame in, through and around us and then out into the world to cleanse and free us from all negativity. Do it or not, the choice is yours.

The heart, not the brain, is the center of God awareness. The heart has as many or more neural connections as the brain.  1Cor 15:40-44 "There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial; but the glory (light) of the celestial is one, and the glory (light) of the terrestrial is another.....". Within the Heart of hearts (the Secret Chamber of the Heart chakra) God placed his abiding Presence as an Unfed Threefold Flame of Power (blue), Wisdom (yellow), and Love (pink). This Flame, called the Holy Christ Flame, is the portal, the open door which no man can shut, to the kingdom of God. While embodied,the soul wears four interpenetrating vehicles of expression: the etheric (fire), mental (air), emotional (water), and physical (earth). The chakra system of the etheric body is equivalent to the organ system of the physical body. Chakras (wheels) are energy centers, whirling vortices of energy that act as step down transformers of the energy of God passed from the Heart of God over the Crystal Cord (River of Life or Silver Stream) to the Heart of the Holy Christ Self (Guardian Angel, Higher Mind) and thence to our own heart's Threefold Flame and then to the chakra system and organs (man shall not live by bread alone Mat 4:4). When we maintain contact with the Christ Mind, put on and become that Mind that was also in Christ Jesus, then the prophecy of John 14:12 will come to pass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luke 17:21, 2 Cor 6:16-18, 1 John 3:1-3, 1 Cor 3:16, 1 Cor 6:15, 1 Cor 12:27, Gal 4:19, Phil 2:5, Romans 8:16-17 &amp; 29, John 14:12-14.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"...behold, the kingdom of God is within you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"...for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God; therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be; but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him pruifieth himself, even as he is pure."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;""For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Romans 13:11-12 "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 Cor 6:2 "(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee; behold now is the accepted time; behold now is the day of salvation.)"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quantum physics is proving that there is no time or space; everything is here and everything is now. There is only NOW and NOW is the only Time that matters. Right Here and right Now we must put on that Christ Mind, our unique Christ Personality, and rise up and take dominion over the earth. There is no room for failure. If we fail to become the Christ that we were intended to be then we could lose this planet forever to the fallen angels and their mis-creation, the tares.  Mat 13:38-40 "The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one (Lucifer and Satan); The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world (Age); and the reapers are the angels.  As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world (Age)."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are leaving the Age of Pisces and we are entering the Age of Aquarius.  We are also ending a Grand Cycle of over 250,000 years with the allignment with the Galactic Center to occurr on or near December 21, 2012 (the end of the Mayan calendar).  We are passing through a time of "great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be" (Mat 24:21).  We are passing through a time of the accelerated return of karma "and except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved; but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened" (Mat 24:22).  The fallen angels were let out of the pit of hell and we have seen that wars have raged on earth for over a thousand years.  We have seen two major world wars and the slaughter of millions of innocents by Mao, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Castro, Che, Mugabe and others with wars ongoing even today.  We have seen the gangs and violence of the rebels against God (the Mafia, Hell's Angels, Outlaws, M13, Bloods, Crips and on and on.)  The fallen angels and tares are anti the Christ that we are becoming.  They are anti-Christ and they appear wise and powerful "insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect" (Mat 24:24).  Has not America been deceived?  Do we not have liars, and theives running our nation?  We must shine the light of Truth on them and expose them for what they are; and let them scurry like the cockroaches that they are into the crevices of the earth until their judgment is come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luke 12:32-35 "Fear not little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.  Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.  For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.  Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our "lights burning" are our chakras.  We must cry out to the Lord in mantra,decree, and fiat, invoking the Violet Flame and the other Rainbow Rays to fill our chakras with light and to gird our "loins" with the whole armor (light) of God and with the helmet, armor, shield and sword of Archangel Michael for we are indeed in the battle of Armageddon; the battle of our very souls.  Our treasure house in heaven is the Great Causal Body of Light that surrounds our Mighty I Am Presence.  All of the energy that we have ever used for good or that we have set free by the Violet Flame is stored in that Causal Body as a reservoir of light that we can draw upon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All energy is qualified according to one of the Rainbow Rays of God that make up the concentric spheres of light that compose the Great Causal Body.  From the outer band to the center those Rays of Light are: Blue representing the Power, Protection, Will, Law and Divine Blue Print of God.  Green representing Divine Vision, Healing, Science, Music, Mathematics and the Immaculate Concept.  Purple and Gold flecked with Ruby representing Divine Service and Ministration, Peace and the "I am my brothers keeper" concept.  Violet representing Freedom, Divine Alchemy, Transmutation, Divine Ritual, Forgiveness and Mercy.  Pink representing Divine Love, Pure Art, the "glue" that binds us to God and to each other.   Yellow representing Divine Wisdom and Illumination, Common Sense. And at the very core a sphere of Pure White representing the Purity of the Divine Mother, Discipline, Harmony, the practicality of the Divine Architect.  Within the White Fire Core are Five Secret Ray Bands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When a cross section of the Great Causal Body is shown, it appears as a Rainbow and this was given as a reminder to Noah after the flood that our true home is with God in the many mansions of the Great Causal Body.  One star (Causal Body) differs from another in glory (light) as we each build our Causal Body according to how we individually use God's Light.  Some are doctors, musicians, scientists, mathematicians which all qualify God's Light with a vibration that appears Green.  Others are builders and architects (white), while others serve in law and justice as policemen, lawyers and judges, etc (blue).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The perversions of God's light creates a perversion of the Causal Body that is like an inverted kettle drum that hangs about us from our heart downward.  This perverted, negative energy; energy that is veiled in darkness (evil)weighs us down like an anchor.  It is an Electronic Belt of perverted energy that attracts more negativity, calamity, disease and misfortune to us.  This negative energy can be set free by the power of the Violet Flame of Freedom, Forgiveness and Mercy.  We can draw this Violet Flame to us by using the Violet Flame Mantra: "I am a being of violet fire, I am the purity God desires."  See my previous posts for more on the Violet Flame Mantra and its power to set us free, set the world free, and to set all life free; and to even mitigate and clean up the Gulf Oil Spill.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1990125730571226562-645621552299968563?l=carltonnewman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/feeds/645621552299968563/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1990125730571226562&amp;postID=645621552299968563&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/645621552299968563'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/645621552299968563'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/2010/04/now-is-acceptable-time-to-be-all-that.html' title='Now Is the Acceptable Time To Be All That We Were Intended To Be'/><author><name>Carlton Newman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06059518479789952787</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jh_iFw6ZrTE/Stdfr3hJxLI/AAAAAAAAAAM/aUpSxdEFoNM/S220/CARLTON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990125730571226562.post-8944606640957180172</id><published>2010-03-26T08:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-08-03T02:45:26.413-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Chapter 9  Summit University and the Staff of the Messenger, Elizabeth Clare Prophet</title><content type='html'>Since early childhood I have had "experiences" which I could not explain and I talk about those in Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of my blog (you have to click at the bottom to see the oldest posts).  There was a lot that led up to the "major event" that happened in the winter of 1972.  One night, burdened by a lot of things (world events, personal problems, etc) that I explain in my blog, I "involuntarily" collapsed to my knees and began praying the only two prayers that I knew; the Our Father and the Hail Mary that a friend had taught me in Junior High School.  I prayed the prayers out loud for a very long time and then simply began talking to God about all of the things that were burdening me.  Finally I just said, "God if there is anything that I can do to HELP YOU solve these problems then please show me what to do".  Notice:  I was not asking anything for myself, I was asking to help God.  I didn't even realize this until it was pointed out to me by a friend when I told them my story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Immediately the room was filled with a Light unlike any light on earth.  It was not harsh like the light on earth.  It was Pure Love and it bestowed a great sense of Peace upon me.  I knew that my prayer was heard and that I would be shown what to do.  I do not know for how long I was in that ecstatic state.  What seems like a long time could actually be just a few seconds.  A day could be as a thousand years to the Lord or a thousand years could be as a day.  There is no time and space and quantum physics is proving that.  Everything is here and now.  There is only NOW.  There is only HERE.  There is only Unity, we are One.  The Light quickened spiritual senses and abilities within me.  Over time I noticed changes within me.  I had a heightened awareness.  I could "read" people.  I could commune with departed souls.  When I read Scripture I had a "clearer" understanding.  The Light had given me a standard, a "measuring rod" so to speak, with which to discern truth from error.  I knew that I would be led and shown things that I needed to learn.  My appetite for spiritual things was voracious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seek and you will find.  Knock and doors will open for you.  Ask and things will be given to you (MT 7:7).  These are basic Laws and I was learning their truths.  I searched for two years.  I met people or read a book which led me to other people or to other books.  I attended lectures and seminars on spiritual topics.  I was in College and started taking courses in Religious Studies (I was a Business major).  People were amazed by my understanding of spiritual things.  I was seeking someone who knew more than I did because I knew that my understanding was not complete.  I was in my Senior year and about to graduate in June.  During Easter Break in 1974 I was going to finalize our divorce and I was going to attend another spiritual seminar.  On Tuesday, April 9, 1974 I was in the Judges chambers with my now ex-wife signing the Final Dissolution of Marriage documents.  On Wednesday April 10, 1974 I walked into the rest of my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The seminar was The Convocation of the New Birth in the City of the Angles sponsored by The Summit Lighthouse.  I arrived to Register early.  There was a delay.  People were gathering.  My spiritual senses were tingling.  These people were unlike any other I had ever met.  For a long time I felt like I was the Lone Ranger; I had never met anyone like me.  But, these people were like me.  They had a tremendous amount of Light in their aura.  These were my long lost brothers and sisters.  Who is my brother or sister or my father or my mother but they who do the Will of God (MT 12:48-50).  I knew I had found my home and what I was looking for.  As the Conference began I became even more convinced.  The lectures were answering all of my questions and questions that I did not even know that I had.  We were taught the meaning of prayer and we were taught a new form of prayer called Decrees; worded formulas of spoken prayer that released tremendous Light.  God is the Word.  God is us is the One speaking the Word of the Decree.  And, God is the answer to the Decree.  Job 22:20 ”Thou shalt also decree a thing and it shall be established unto thee: and the Light shall shine upon thy ways".  Psalms 2:7 " I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said to me, Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee".  Isaiah 45:11  "Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel and his Maker, ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the works of my hands command ye me".  Job 42:4 " Hear I beseech thee, and I will speak:  I will Demand of thee, and Declare thou unto me".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have free will and full authority and dominion in the earth.  Heaven cannot interfere in our affairs unless we mightily Command and Demand that they intercede.  Heaven is like a Command Post, or a Fire House.  They eagerly await the call for help and they never refuse to answer.  When we have established a connection to them like a direct phone line, they are even there almost before we ask.  We become their trusted friends and they become ours.  There is a Love bond like no other.  They provide inspiration and direction.  I have heard the Voice of God in my head while playing football in High School saying to the ball carrier when I was between him and the goal line:  "Where are you going to run?  I am everywhere!".  The ball carrier froze in his tracks until the Referee finally blew the play ended.  I did not have the understanding of what had happened and shrugged it off.  Now I have heard the Voice of God on several occasions giving me such simple instructions as to where to apply for a job and what salary to ask for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After several hours of lectures, songs and Decrees a beautiful woman came on the platform.  I sensed that she had Great Power and Great Love.  The Words of Wisdom that she spoke convinced me that this is the one who was to be my Teacher.  She gave instruction and then led us in a meditation in preparation for the coming of the Lord to speak to us.  She explained to us the role of the Messenger of God and our role in receiving the Word of the Lord.  This is not a "psychic channeling" of the spirits that mutter and peep.  I go into much more detail on my blog.  The Lord that first spoke was the Ascended Lady Master Kwan Yin, the Bodhisattva of Compassion and member of the Great Karmic Board.  When Kwan Yin spoke the Light that was released was like the Light that I experienced in 1972.  There was Great Power, Wisdom and Love in the Light that was released.  There were many more "Dictations" and the recordings that were made contain the same Release of Light of the Master which can be experienced again and again each time the recording of the Dictation is played.  The Electronic Presence of the Master is imprinted in the audio or video recording.  When the Transcriptions of those Dictations are read there is again a release of that Light into our consciousness.  Many of the books published by Summit University Press are from those Dictations or from their Words inspired upon the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet or her husband Mark L. Prophet.  The Conference lasted five days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I graduated from College with a B.S. in Business Administration.  I attended another of their Quarterly Conferences in July, 1974 and another smaller Seminar.  I then attended the three month Ascended Master University (now Summit University) where for three months it was like being in an Etheric Spiritual Retreat made physical.  I sat at the feet of Gautama Buddha, Mother Mary, Serapis Bey, El Morya, Saint Germain and many other Masters of the Great White Brotherhood (the White stands for the White Light that they are clothed upon) for three solid months absorbing and being filled and purged, filled and purged, by their Light.  The Light of God is manifested in many Rays and Dimensions.  There are Seven Rainbow Rays with Hierarchies and Hosts of Light that serve on each one of those Rays.  Each Ray has Christic virtues, qualities and powers that are unique to that Ray.  For example, the Second Ray is the Golden Yellow Ray of Wisdom and Illumination.  At the end of the Rainbow is the fabled pot of gold.  Sitting in Summit University, I felt like I was the "pot" and the Gold of the Christ Consciousness of each of the Ascended Masters that instructed us was being poured into me.  I leaned more in three months than all that I had learned in my life previously.  Shorter weekend versions of Summit University are now being presented to help people that do not have three months to attend the longer Quarter system.  This was a very special Dispensation and Outreach effort by the Brotherhood to their embodied students.  It is a blessing that I will cherish and remember for eternity.  As great as each Quarterly Conference (at each of the solstices) were, Summit University far transcended them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During our Summit University Quarter, the Directors of The White Lodge, another group in San Diego, turned over their organization to the Messenger because their leader had died.  I was one of fifteen who volunteered to go there in March 1975 and help run The White Lodge.  I was made one of a Triumvirate of Leaders.  At the New Years Class of 1976 I was called to come to be on the Staff of the Messenger, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, known affectionately by the title, Mother.  My first assignment was to be her Assistant during the Conference.  I was by her during all blessings and rituals. She had certain gems and crystals that had been especially charged and blessed by the Ascended Masters for the conveyance of a charge of Light to the recipient of a blessing.  During one such blessing to the heart chakra, Mother used an Amethyst Crystal that released a charge of the Violet Flame.  Each time she placed the Crystal over the heart of a devotee I received a "zing" from the Crystal to my heart.  By the time the blessing was over I was so joyous and bubbly I could hardly contain myself.  Thus began my life of service, both on and off staff, for various periods of time over the next 32 years culminating in the Messenger's retirement.  She made her transition on October 15, 2009 and Ascended to rejoin with her Twin Flame Mark L. Prophet who was now the Ascended Master Lanello, the Ever Present Guru.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1990125730571226562-8944606640957180172?l=carltonnewman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/feeds/8944606640957180172/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1990125730571226562&amp;postID=8944606640957180172&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/8944606640957180172'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/8944606640957180172'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/2010/03/chapter-9-summit-university-and-staff.html' title='Chapter 9  Summit University and the Staff of the Messenger, Elizabeth Clare Prophet'/><author><name>Carlton Newman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06059518479789952787</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jh_iFw6ZrTE/Stdfr3hJxLI/AAAAAAAAAAM/aUpSxdEFoNM/S220/CARLTON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990125730571226562.post-995914622808786055</id><published>2010-03-11T09:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-06-03T06:38:12.051-07:00</updated><title type='text'>"Chief exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth says Devil is in the Vatican", Worth Reading , March 10, 2010</title><content type='html'>http://worthreading.ning.com/&lt;br /&gt;I would substantially agree with Father Amorth.  There was a time when the Lord even rebuked Peter (Matthew 16:23) saying," Get thee behind me, Satan...” because Peter's thinking and reasoning was unacceptable and out of alignment with the will of God.  In Matthew 16:17-19 he had just praised Peter and now he rebuked him right after that.  This is an important lesson.   By the "dial" of our mind we can tune into the "vibrations" of heaven or of hell and either receive divine inspiration or the denials and mouthings of evil spirits such as Satan.  We must constantly guard our thoughts; are they positive or negative?  What would Jesus do?  Would he think such thoughts?  Negative thoughts may come into our minds like a little bird but you do not have to let it build a nest by letting it dwell there.  Dismiss them as Jesus did by saying, "Get thee behind me Satan", or "the Lord rebuke thee".  Ask for Jesus to strengthen you by saying:  "Jesus come into my whole temple now.  By my free will, by my God dominion, I welcome you my Lord."  "Jesus, I bid you enter the vacuum of my being."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything in Creation is composed of God's Light, Energy and Consciousness and has Innate Intelligence.  Our souls and our bodies are likewise composed.  We receive Light and Energy from the Father every moment of our lives for our use.  The energy we use goes out from us with our identity stamped upon it.  Energy that is used in accordance with the will of God rises and makes the return circuit back to God and is stored in our "treasure house in heaven".  Energy that we use that is not in accord with the will of God is negative energy, darkened energy, sin (negative karma), veiled energy (energy veiled with darkness or "evil').  It cannot make the return to God but instead gets trapped in the earth and in our bodies.  This negative energy (karma) stagnates, putrefies and becomes the cause of every negative condition in our lives and on the planet (war, famine, plague, pestilence, pain, sufferings, storms, floods, earthquakes, financial ruin, social and economic upheaval, etc., etc).  We sow the wind and it goes out and gathers more of itself until it becomes the whirlwind.  That negative energy has our identity stamped on it and it must come back to us for redemption; it is ours and only we can free it.  Negative energy still has consciousness and it can amalgamate and form into a life of its own as the hideous forms of our nightmares, entities, demons and even the stinging and biting insects, microbes and viruses.  The Gadarene Demoniac (Luke 8:26-39) was possessed of Legions of these entities and demons.  Many of the healings that Jesus, his disciples and the Other 70 did were performed by casting these entities and demons out of people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story of Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is an example of another type of possession.  Some of the negative energy amalgamates and forms itself as a false persona, a not self, a dweller on the threshold of our consciousness.  It lurks just beyond our conscious awareness and it tries to influence us into doing more evil because it uses that negative energy to sustain itself.  It puts negative thoughts in our mind.  It puts us down and belittles us and tries to convince us that we are unworthy sinners.  It does not want us to awaken to our true identity in Christ.  If that light that is in you be darkness, how great is that darkness? (Mat 6:23).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Know ye not that he that is in you is greater than he that is in the world? (1 John 4:4).  God has placed a replica of himself as an Unfed Threefold Flame of his Power, Wisdom and Love within our Heart of hearts.  This Holy Christ Flame within our heart is the source of our power and authority in the earth.   This Flame is the "open door which no man can shut" and our portal to the kingdom of God that Jesus said was within us (Luke 17:21).  It is by the authority of this Holy Christ Flame that the Disciples and the Other 70 and we can command in the name of Jesus Christ for demons to come out of us.  Archangel Michael is the Captain of the Hosts of the Lord and we can command him to take those demons from us to be cast into the Lake of Fire.  God has given to us the knowledge of the Seventh Rainbow Band, the Seventh Ray of God's Light, the Violet Flame of the Holy Spirit that has the power to transmute and change the cause, effect, record and memory of every negative condition and the negative energy that empowers it back into light so that it can return to God to be stored in our treasure house in heaven.  The SWORD of God, the Sacred Word, is the means by which we may call for the Light of the Seventh Ray, the Violet Flame to come into us and free us from negativity.  The Violet Flame Mantra is a worded formula, a spoken prayer, that uses the name of God that was given to Moses on Mt Sinai as testimony and memorial forever: "I AM THAT I AM".  This name is an affirmation of True Being, as above so below which we can also affirm.  When we say "I am" we are saying "God in me is".  When we say "I am that I am" we are saying that God is in me here below just as he is in heaven.  We are God's Light, Energy, and Consciousness in a soul manifestation, a child of God.  Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.  When we say the Violet Flame Mantra:  "I am a being of violet fire, I am the purity God desires", we are affirming that where I am there God is as a manifestation of the Violet Flame as violet fire transmuting and changing all of my negative energy back into the purity that God desires.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A water pump is able to pump a great stream of water through a fire hose by pumping a very small amount of water very rapidly with each stroke of the engine.  When we pray and give the Violet Flame Mantra we are a spiritual pump, drawing down violet fire from the heart of God into our heart and out into the world to "put out" fires of negativity, Fire for fire.  With each repetition of the mantra we draw down more and more of God's Sacred Fire as the Violet Flame to free ourselves and the entire planet of all negativity.  In fact, we can us the Violet Flame Mantra by naming any person, place, condition or thing like this:  "The earth is a planet of violet fire, the earth is the purity God desires", or "my heart is an organ of violet fire, my heart is the purity God, desires", or "Walt is a person of violet fire, Walt is the purity God desires".  The Word is God.  God in us is the giver of the words of the decree.  And, God is the answer to the decree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The point is that we are not helpless.  Jesus and Archangel Michael and all of the Hosts of the Lord are available to us.  We only need to open our hearts to them and command them to assist us.  Does that sound strange to you that we should "command" them?  Isaiah 45:11 "Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel and his Maker, ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, COMMAND ye me."  We have free will and dominion in the earth.  Heaven may not interfere in our affairs unless we command and demand them to help us.  Job 22:20 "Thou shalt also decree a thing and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy way."  The squeaky wheel gets the oil.  We have to be persistent and "religious" in daily invoking Light into our world to expose darkness and to clean it up.  Only a small portion of the darkness and negativity can be safely taken each day or it would cause cataclysm.  Therefore we must invoke the Light and the Violet Flame daily; we must decree that violet light to free us.  We must be persistent and consistent so that day by day our world will get lighter and lighter.  The Father worketh hitherto and I work.  It is the Father in me that doeth the work.  Nevertheless, Father, not my will but thine be done.  John 14:12-14 "Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.  And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it."  Luke 11:9 "And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1990125730571226562-995914622808786055?l=carltonnewman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/feeds/995914622808786055/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1990125730571226562&amp;postID=995914622808786055&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/995914622808786055'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/995914622808786055'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/2010/03/chief-exorcist-father-gabriele-amorth.html' title='&quot;Chief exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth says Devil is in the Vatican&quot;, Worth Reading , March 10, 2010'/><author><name>Carlton Newman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06059518479789952787</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jh_iFw6ZrTE/Stdfr3hJxLI/AAAAAAAAAAM/aUpSxdEFoNM/S220/CARLTON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990125730571226562.post-6643828926927493061</id><published>2010-02-26T07:50:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-26T08:07:24.162-08:00</updated><title type='text'>My Response to Deepak Chopra</title><content type='html'>This is my response to Deepak Chopra, Author, Sirius/XM radio host:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Only Spirituality Can Solve The Problems Of The World”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Posted: February 24, 2010 10:22 AM on The Huffington Post at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/deepak-chopra/only-spirituality-can-sol_b_474221.html?view=screen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First let us define the "Problem".  There are two creations in the earth:  the Creation of God and the creation of Lucifer and the fallen angels that Jesus called “the tares among the wheat”.  I go into more detail on my blog at carltonnewman.blogspot.com.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Our God is a consuming fire", "God is Light and in him is no darkness at all".  "I AM THAT I AM" is the name that God gave to Moses on Mt. Sinai as a testament and memorial forever but he is also known by Yahweh; Yud He Vuv He; Jehovah; Elohim, Father, Son and Holy Spirit; Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva; Allah; the Tao; the Atman and others.  God is infinite and each name is a key to a certain aspect of his being and identity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God was; a whole unto himself.   God began the Creation process by in-dividing himself into a polarity of positive and negative, male and female, Alpha and Omega.  From Alpha and Omega came the Son (Word, Logos, Christ, Sound) and the Holy Spirit (Breath).  These are the archetypes of Creation; the building blocks. Everything in Creation is composed of God's Light, Energy and Consciousness and has Innate Intelligence.  To prepare for the Creation of his children, God created Cosmic Beings, Elohim, Archangels, Angels, Seraphim, Cherubim, and elemental builders of form: fire = salamanders, air = sylphs, water = undines, and earth = gnomes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When all was in readiness God began to create souls in his image and likeness using the archetype of the Son (Christ).  The Universal Christ is One Body and each soul has a unique Christ Personality that is One in that Universal Body of Christ.  The Divine Destiny of the Children of God is to have dominion over all of the Creation.  There are multiple stages in the development of the soul to prepare it for the awesome power and responsibility that is to be theirs.  The soul is the non-permanent aspect of God that may become Permanent when it accomplishes the task of first becoming its Christ Identity (the Higher Mind) and then re-uniting with the Presence of God individualized for each Son and Daughter of God, the Mighty I Am Presence, in the ritual of the Ascension.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The soul evolved for eons in Spirit (Father) as it put on skeins of God's Light, Energy and Consciousness much as a pearl is formed of patinas of substance by an oyster.  The soul must then put on "bodies of flesh" to continue its evolution in the planes of Matter (Mother).  In the "physical" planes the soul wears four lower bodies: etheric (fire, memory), mental (air, lower mind), emotional (water, desire), and physical (earth).  These four lower bodies have a decay rate and therefore the soul must periodically shed them in the transition we superstitiously call "death" and then re-incarnate into a new body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  The etheric body has organs just as the physical body does and they are called chakras (wheels) which are whirling vortices of energy that act as step-down transformers for Spiritual Energy from the Father.  Within the Secret Chamber of the Heart chakra (next to the heart chakra located over the physical heart) God has placed an Unfed Threefold Flame as his abiding Presence with us.  This Threefold Flame is our portal (the open door that no man can shut) to the kingdom of God that Jesus said was within us.  It is our connection point to our Christ Mind that St. Paul admonished us to "put on".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It takes a minimum of 14,000 years for the soul to accomplish the task of "putting on" Christ, but it often extends to hundreds of thousands and even millions of years because of a little thing called karma (the cyclic return of positive and negative energy).  We call negative karma "sin".  Karma and re-incarnation are the teaching tools of our Father-Mother God and should be not be considered as punishment.  We have free will and total dominion in the earth.  We are solely responsible for everything that does or does not happen here.  Karma gives us feedback as to how we are doing in learning righteousness (the right use of God's energy).  We experience the effects of our karma in the experiences and conditions of body, mind and soul that we experience from lifetime to lifetime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything is energy.  Good and bad karma are the qualities of energy expressed through us and it carries our identity stamp.  Good karma is a blessing to us and completes the cycle and returns to God to be stored in our "treasure house in heaven", the Great Causal Body.  Negative karma is dense, stagnated, putrefied, calcified energy and cannot return to God.  It remains stuck, like molasses, in the space between the atom and electron which slows it rate of spin (frequency, vibration).  Negative karma is the source of every calamity and problem that befalls man (illness, wars, famine, plague, pestilence, pain, storms, earthquakes, floods, etc).  It is our energy and it has to return to us for redemption, but on its way back it gathers more of itself like a snowball.  Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind.  What goes around comes around. .  It is an impersonal action of the Law to teach and not to punish us.  We should bless it and be thankful for it because when it returns we have the opportunity to liberate ourselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before that negative karma hits us in the physical with a blow that can take us out of embodiment, we have the opportunity to "transmute" and change it back to light by an action of the Holy Spirit invoked by mantra (sound, the Word, sacred word = sword).The Violet Flame of the Holy Spirit is God's Cosmic Eraser with the power to transmute negative energy back to light.  The mantra used to invoke the Violet Flame uses the name of God, I Am That I Am, like this: "I am a being of violet fire, I am the purity God desires".  I Am That I Am is an affirmation of being; as above so below (everything is God).  When we say, "I am", we are saying and affirming that "God in me is".  When we add a statement of a quality after saying "I am", we are affirming that as our reality.  If we say things like "sick", "tired", "angry", "poor", "unworthy", "a sinner", we are taking God's name in vain and affirming negativity and making negative karma.  When we say "I am a being of violet fire, I am the purity God desires" we are affirming that God in us is the quality of the Holy Spirit Violet Fire that can transmute and free negative energy into the purity that God desires (cause, effect, record, and memory).  Thus we gain in power and mastery over the energy of God.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1990125730571226562-6643828926927493061?l=carltonnewman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/feeds/6643828926927493061/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1990125730571226562&amp;postID=6643828926927493061&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/6643828926927493061'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/6643828926927493061'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/2010/02/my-response-to-deepak-chopra.html' title='My Response to Deepak Chopra'/><author><name>Carlton Newman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06059518479789952787</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jh_iFw6ZrTE/Stdfr3hJxLI/AAAAAAAAAAM/aUpSxdEFoNM/S220/CARLTON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990125730571226562.post-367703955572507868</id><published>2009-11-30T06:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-30T06:28:07.858-08:00</updated><title type='text'>COURAGE</title><content type='html'>COURAGE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember when I was quite young and had not yet learned how to swim.  My mother would take us to the public pool on hot summer days.  I would become bold and take to moving around the pool by hanging on to the edge but not quite ready to let go.  One day a man was teaching his son to swim and I bothered him by going back and forth along the edge.  Impulsively he pushed me away from the edge and out into deeper water.  I was frightened and struggled with all of my might to make it back to the edge.  I was quite relieved to be back to the safety of the edge but I was also exhilarated that I had actually swum.  I began letting go of the edge more and more often at first going out only a little way and then farther and farther.  I eventually became a very good swimmer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Courage is derived from two words which are "cour" (French for heart) and "age" and it means "the coming of age of the heart".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are spiritual beings in a vast ocean of Spirit.  The earth is like the public pool.  Religion offers us a safe "edge" for us to hold onto while we are learning and becoming stronger "spiritual swimmers".  We don't have to swim far from the edge to build our confidence.  Every little excursion away from the edge builds confidence and courage.  Maybe I have nudged you a little way from the edge but you made it back and are safe.  Take courage and keep on trying.  Keep experimenting with your new found knowledge and strength.  To paraphrase; the journey across the pool begins with a single stroke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore I say to you; take courage and be courageous seekers of truth.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1990125730571226562-367703955572507868?l=carltonnewman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/feeds/367703955572507868/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1990125730571226562&amp;postID=367703955572507868&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/367703955572507868'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/367703955572507868'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/2009/11/courage.html' title='COURAGE'/><author><name>Carlton Newman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06059518479789952787</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jh_iFw6ZrTE/Stdfr3hJxLI/AAAAAAAAAAM/aUpSxdEFoNM/S220/CARLTON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990125730571226562.post-3420817741115614079</id><published>2009-11-12T03:31:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-12T06:54:24.079-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Chapter 8:  Back at the Conference and My Re-encounter with the Light of God</title><content type='html'>As a reminder: In the winter of 1972 I was greatly burdened and on my knees in prayer when I was engulfed in a brilliant Light unlike any light on earth. The Light was pure Love in answer to my prayer and it bestowed upon me a great sense of Peace and an awareness that I would be shown where to go and what to do. The Light quickened and awakened spiritual senses and faculties within me and it gave me a standard, a measuring rod, to discern spiritual things. For two years my spiritual discernment was tested and tried as I was "seeking", "asking" and "knocking" in my search for someone who knew more than I did and who could show me how to help God solve the problems on planet earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, April 10, 1974, I was at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles attending a spiritual conference put on by The Summit Lighthouse. By spiritual discernment of the Light in the auras of the people who were coming to attend, I determined that I had finally found what I was looking for. I felt at home and these were my long lost brothers and sisters. My determination was &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;further&lt;/span&gt; being confirmed in the Teaching that was being delivered in the lectures. I experienced the release of power and Light in giving Decrees; a new form of combined mantra and prayer called The Science of the Spoken Word. I was astounded, happy and joyous at what I was experiencing but I could never have expected what would happen next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A petite and beautiful woman came onto the stage. It was the same woman who I saw in the poster that led me to this conference. I could sense that she had great Light and great Power and she radiated a tremendous Love. Her name was Elizabeth Clare Prophet (she recently made her transition and Ascension on October 15, 2009) and she was affectionately called Mother or Mother of the Flame. The title Mother of the Flame is bestowed upon the one who best represents the Light of the World Mother in the earth. Several years later the Ascended Master &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Padma&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Sambhava&lt;/span&gt; bestowed upon her the title of Guru Ma (she had been his chief disciple &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Yeshe&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Tsogyal&lt;/span&gt; in that life). Mother talked about her early childhood experiences with Jesus, the Angels and with the Light of God. She told of how she found Saint Germain (formerly embodied as St Joseph the father of Jesus, and Samuel the Prophet) and how she was led to meet her future husband and Twin Flame, Mark L. Prophet. She told of how Mark Prophet (now the Ascended Master &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;Lanello&lt;/span&gt; who had been embodied as Lot, Lancelot and Longfellow) had been contacted in 1958 by the Ascended Master El &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Morya&lt;/span&gt; (Abraham, King Arthur, Thomas Becket and Thomas More) and was instructed to found The Summit Lighthouse organization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mother told how El &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Morya&lt;/span&gt; had instructed her to meet Mark Prophet in order to be trained to become a Messenger for the Great White Brotherhood (the White refers to the White Light that surrounds them). She explained that Mark Prophet was her Twin Flame and that he was coming to the conclusion of his mission as a Messenger and that she had to be trained in order to carry on the activity. These are the Two Witnesses of the Book of Revelation. She explained that the training to become a Messenger spans many embodiments. She had been Martha, the sister of Mary and Lazarus, whom Jesus liked to visit. She had been Saint Clare who worked with Saint Francis to establish their holy order. She had been Saint Catharine of Sienna and had taken dictation from Jesus while her secretaries wrote them down. Now she was called in the tradition of the Old Testament Prophets to speak the Word of the Lord unto His people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mother was preparing to give the first Dictation scheduled for the Conference from the Ascended Lady Master &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Kuan&lt;/span&gt; Yin. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Kuan&lt;/span&gt; Yin is known as the Bodhisattva of Compassion and the Goddess of Mercy. A God or Goddess is an Ascended Son or Daughter of God who has evolved on the earth as we are and who have put on their &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Christhood&lt;/span&gt; and who have Ascended back to God, the Mighty I Am Presence, and have become permanently fused with God as His Ascended Sons and Daughters. All power in Heaven and in earth is given to them and they have dominion over all of the Creation. This is not a pantheon of gods; there is only One God. The title of God or Goddess is bestowed upon the one who has become One With God. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Kuan&lt;/span&gt; Yin is a member of the governing board of the planet called The Great Karmic Board. They are responsible for holding and distributing the karma for billions of souls on the planet. After each embodiment and prior to the next, the soul goes before a review of the Great Karmic Board to assess how they had done in the life just ended and what they were to accomplish in the life yet to begin. They have a very great responsibility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mother then explained the process of giving a Dictation from Ascended or Cosmic Beings. The Messenger must raise her consciousness to the level of her Holy Christ Self. The Ascended Master lowers their consciousness to meet the Messenger at that level of the Holy Christ Self. There are two ways in which a Dictation can be delivered by the Ascended Master. The method of receiving a dictation ex &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;cathedra&lt;/span&gt; (in the authority of the Office of Messenger) involves the delivery of Letters of Living Fire to the Messenger which when read by her releases the Light and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;Fohat&lt;/span&gt; (Energy) of the Master. The other method involves the Ascended Master superimposing their Electronic Light Body over the Messenger and delivering the Word directly through her. In either method there is a tremendous release of Light and Energy; Power, Wisdom and Love. When the Dictation is electronically recorded it contains all of that energy so that when it is replayed it is as if the original Dictation were being given again with the full release of all of that Light and Energy. This is a tremendous dispensation and boon to the evolutions of earth. If you were not able to be there when the original Release was given you can still experience it. There are thousands of hours of such recordings which you can access from &lt;a href="http://www.tsl.org/"&gt;http://www.tsl.org/&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mother then instructed us in our role in receiving a Dictation. We needed to remain alert and erect in our chairs and with our feet uncrossed and flat on the floor. Our hands should be cupped and resting in our lap. The Light of the Master would be poured into our four lower bodies and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;chakras&lt;/span&gt;. We would become the Light bearers to the world as the leaven that leavened the whole lump of the human consciousness. This was the means by which Heaven may work with embodied souls to raise an entire evolution to a higher level of consciousness. It was also a means by which Heaven may enact the judgment upon the fallen angels and their corrupt creation. This was a tremendous action and work. This was the work of the ages. We would be standing on the line where Light meets darkness and swallows it up. That is why we were taught decrees to invoke a Mighty Tube of Light around us and to invoke the protection of the Mighty Archangel Michael and Hosts of the Lord. Because we are in the earth, we would become the targets for the attacks of the fallen angels and the "tares", and other foul and unclean spirits. This was not a work for the faint of heart. This is what my preparation had been all about for the past two years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Messenger then led us in a beautiful musical meditation, the lights dimmed and the Dictation began.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was beautiful beyond words. The Light that was released in the Dictation was the same Light that I had experienced while on my knees at work in my computer room two years before. I was in ecstasy. There was no doubt, no question; this is the one that I had been searching for and I never wanted to leave her. The Drill Sargent in me wanted to protect and defend her at all cost. The rest of the lectures, meditations, decrees, and Dictations built on one another to a crescendo. I came expecting the usual crumbs of teachings. Instead I was at the table of the Lord and a mighty banquet indeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They had a University of the Spirit named Ascended Master University which was later renamed Summit University. I was only two months from graduation and yet I wanted to quit school and go to their University. This was not to be. After the Conference I returned back to school and graduated receiving a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration. The Fall Quarter of Ascended Master University would be sponsored by the Ascended Master &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;Serapis&lt;/span&gt; Bey, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;Chohan&lt;/span&gt; (Lord) of the Fourth Ray, the White Ray of Purity. I could hardly wait for September.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1990125730571226562-3420817741115614079?l=carltonnewman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/feeds/3420817741115614079/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1990125730571226562&amp;postID=3420817741115614079&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/3420817741115614079'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/3420817741115614079'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/2009/11/chapter-8-back-at-conference-and-my-re.html' title='Chapter 8:  Back at the Conference and My Re-encounter with the Light of God'/><author><name>Carlton Newman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06059518479789952787</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jh_iFw6ZrTE/Stdfr3hJxLI/AAAAAAAAAAM/aUpSxdEFoNM/S220/CARLTON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990125730571226562.post-6832242599481992051</id><published>2009-11-11T08:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-11T08:18:33.254-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Chapter 7 A Teaching on the Death Penalty</title><content type='html'>The D.C. Sniper has been executed today 11-11-09 prompting this question onTweetbook.tw:  Do You Believe in the Death Penalty?  This is my reply&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.tweetbook.tw/forum/topics/do-you-believe-in-the-death"&gt;http://www.tweetbook.tw/forum/topics/do-you-believe-in-the-death&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no DEATH.  The soul does not die when the house it temporarily lives in is cast off.  Jesus disproved that lie and yet it persists.  When are people going to "get it"?  We are not our bodies.  Our soul functions through the body to gain mastery over the use of God's energy.  We must learn compassion not sympathy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YES.  If a soul “kills” and disrupts the progress of another soul by prematurely causing the house (body) of another to be cast off, "killed", then yes the offender should have his opportunity for further experience in the earth terminated also.  It teaches the offending soul a valuable lesson and the soul can plead for opportunity to again embody and correct the wrong in a future embodiment by serving to protect and preserve life.  He may even be required to give birth to the soul he "killed".  Those souls who have committed such offenses and are allowed to remain in embodiment while imprisoned often grow more resentful and rebellious because they do not receive the immediate consequences for their action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Compassion for the souls involved has to take into account the lessons the soul needs to learn.  The soul that was "killed" needs to learn the lesson of "watchfulness" and "attunement" so that it learns to listen to the warnings of "The Inner Man of the Heart", our Holy Christ Self.  God placed within our heart a spark of His Eternal Fire, an Unfed Threefold Flame of Power (Blue, Father), Wisdom (Yellow, Son) and Love (Pink, Holy Spirit).  This 3-Fold Flame is our portal to the kingdom of heaven (Jesus said that the kingdom of heaven is within us).  The Crystal Cord or River of Life connects the 3-Fold Flame to our Higher Mind, our Real Self, our Holy Christ Self which is that Inner Man of the Heart.  That is the voice of conscience and the voice of warning we need to learn to listen to.  The Crystal Cord continues from the heart of our Holy Christ Self to connect with the Presence of God individualized for each of His sons and daughters.  It is named the Mighty I Am Presence after the name of God, I AM THAT I AM, that was given to Moses on Mt Sinai as a testament and a memorial forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The soul was created in Spirit in the image and likeness of God (our God is a consuming fire) as a living potential.  The soul must "prove" that potential by putting on that mind that was also in Christ Jesus, our Christ Mind, our Holy Christ Self.  When this is accomplished then we can fulfill the prophecy of Jesus that the things that he did, we would do and greater things would we do.  When the soul has fulfilled its Divine Blueprint and Plan and "put on" its Christhood, balanced at least 51% of its karma, and balanced and expanded its ThreeFold Flame then it becomes a candidate for the Ascension.  The karma of the souls of God goes before them unto repentance and becomes balanced by service to life and prayer and invocation to the Light of God for transmutation.  The Ascension is the Ritual whereby the soul who is now one with its Holy Christ Self becomes permanently fused to God, the Mighty I Am Presence.  To this Victorious One is granted all power in heaven and in earth and dominion over the Creation.  If the soul did not balance all of its karma while in the earth then it must continue to balance the remaining percentage from the Ascended state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The soul that took the "life" of another soul must also learn the lesson that we are our brother’s keeper.  We are One.  What we do to another we have really done to ourselves and we will experience what the other soul experienced when it was "killed".  Jesus said that whatsoever you do to the least of these my brethren you have done to him.  God is not mocked.  The law of karma dictates the return of energy in due course, in a present or future embodiment.  If the soul refuses to learn the lesson then eventually opportunity for further embodiment for the purpose of advancement is terminated.  The Second Death is the cancelling out of the identity of the soul and all energy that was a part of it is recycled to the Great Unmanifest Pool of God's Energy.  The soul as an identity is no more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jesus understood this principle; that is why he allowed his body to be crucified on the Cross.  The action against him resulted in a great karma to be upon those responsible for terminating his embodiment.  This also allowed him to teach his disciples that there is no death when he resurrected his body.  There are fallen angels in embodiment and Lucifer created an anti-Christ, godless, soulless creation that Jesus called "the tares among the wheat". They have no conscience, no guilt, no shame, no remorse and no real identity apart from the Collective.  They are like ants in an anthill; they move about independently but they serve the Socialist goal of the Collective.  Their karma accumulates until it reaches a "tipping point" and the judgment descends upon them and they can be removed from the earth forever.  We are in a time when this "tipping point" is being reached and many of the rebellious ones and their anti-Christ creation are running out of time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the patience of the Saints.  We are the sacrificial lambs, slain from the foundation of the earth, who have allowed ourselves to be "killed" so that these fallen ones can finally be removed and the planet freed from their influence.  Those who suffered in the Holocaust and other such events did not 'die' in vain.  Hitler and those responsible have met their judgment.  Lucifer and Satan are no more.  Some of the fallen angels have repented, asked for forgiveness, and have been restored to God and are now part of a band of angels called "the restored angels".  But, there are many "die hards" who refuse to repent and seek forgiveness.  Their time in the earth is very short.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who meet out the "death penalty" upon an innocent person will have to balance that karma.  Every effort should be taken to prove guilt and that duty should not be taken lightly.  We have a personal and civic duty to protect and preserve life and when necessary to take the life of one who tries to take or threatens to take our life or the lives of others.  Krishna expounded on that duty (dharma) to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita.  Life has hard lessons.  We are here to learn, and the most important lesson is forgiveness and mercy; mostly to ourselves but also to others.  Forgiveness frees us from the attachment to another who has or who we perceive has, wronged us.  Holding a grudge against another only serves to bind us to them.  We must never condemn ourselves or take on the belief that we are unworthy.  Even the most hardened criminal, fallen angel or arch deceiver can and will receive forgiveness when they ask God to forgive them.  In fact God has already forgiven them, they just need to ask for that forgiveness to descend upon them by asking for forgiveness.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1990125730571226562-6832242599481992051?l=carltonnewman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/feeds/6832242599481992051/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1990125730571226562&amp;postID=6832242599481992051&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/6832242599481992051'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/6832242599481992051'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/2009/11/chapter-7-teaching-on-death-penalty.html' title='Chapter 7 A Teaching on the Death Penalty'/><author><name>Carlton Newman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06059518479789952787</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jh_iFw6ZrTE/Stdfr3hJxLI/AAAAAAAAAAM/aUpSxdEFoNM/S220/CARLTON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990125730571226562.post-2864408759341674042</id><published>2009-11-10T09:10:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-17T04:34:14.817-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Chapter 6 Fallen Angels and the "Tares" Among Us</title><content type='html'>This is copied from an earlier post I made to &lt;a href="http://sta.rtup.biz/"&gt;http://sta.rtup.biz/&lt;/a&gt; in response to a question about what inspires us.

This spark of God's Fire in our Heart of hearts is an Unfed Threefold Flame (Blue, Yellow, and Pink) that springs from a cube of White Fire. Each of the three petals of the Threefold Flame is an attribute of God. The Blue Flame represents, and is, the Father and His Power and Will. The Yellow Flame represents, and is, the Wisdom of the Son. The Pink Flame represents, and is, the Love of the Holy Spirit. This Threefold Flame is the portal to the kingdom of God.The 3-Fold Flame is connected by the Crystal Cord or River of Life to our Higher Mind which is that Mind that was also in Christ Jesus. This Higher Mind is our Real Self, our Holy Christ Self and the 3-Fold Flame is also known as the Holy Christ Flame. From there the Crystal Cord connects us to the Heart of the Presence of God individualized for each of us. God told Moses on Mt. Sinai that His name is I AM THAT I AM and this name is a testament and memorial forever. The individualized Presence of God is called The Mighty I Am Presence. God nourishes our heart and physical vessels over the Crystal Cord (Jesus said that we do not live by bread alone) somewhat like a spiritual umbilical cord. God sustains our heartbeat by an impulse from His Own Heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Long ago and through disobedience to God and by ignoring His laws written in our inward parts, we broke our connection to God, the Mighty I Am Presence. We snuffed out our 3-Fold Flame. Our bodies densified and we became "cave man". We are not animals and did not evolve from the animal kingdom. We devolved to an animal-like state and we have been evolving back from that state thanks to the rescue efforts of The Ancient of Days (Sanat Kumara) and 144,000 of his Saints that volunteered to "Keep the Flame of Life" on behalf of earth's evolutions.The Prophets and Saints of East and West were those who were a part of this rescue mission. They were sent into the earth to provide a "Teaching" and a path for souls to follow out of their own self-created darkness. Each of the world's major religions were founded to reach certain groups of souls. Jesus, Rama, Krishna, Zarathustra, Abraham, Issac, Moses, Gautama Buddha, Lao Tzu, Confucius, Mohamed, Kwan Yin, Padma Sambhava and many others came as part of the rescue mission. Jesus had a special mission to re-ignite and connect our heart, and the 3-Fold Flame within the heart, back to God's Heart. Through devotion to Jesus, Jesus establishes a connection from our heart to His Sacred Heart and thence to the Heart of God. That is why no man can come to the Father but through Jesus. Over time Jesus re-introduces us to our own Holy Christ Self and works with us to strengthen the "Tie that Binds" so that Jesus can be free to rescue other souls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no animosity or competition among the Saints of Heaven. They all work for the common goal of re-uniting souls with God. There are fallen angels who fell with Lucifer in the great rebellion who are still in the earth. Lucifer created an anti-Christ creation that Jesus called "the tares among the wheat" to oppose God's children in the earth. They are godless, soulless beings with no connection to God since they were created in the earth and not in Spirit.  They are not of God and have never known God therefore they deny the existence of God and refuse to accept the authority of God's Christs in the earth.  They have no conscience, no remorse, no guilt, no shame, no compassion; none of the attributes of Christ or of Buddha. They are like ants in an anthill, a Socialist collective, who only live to serve and further the colony. They genetically contain all of the hatred, malice, animosity and anger of Lucifer toward God and His children.     They seek power for power's sake and work themselves into positions of power "by hook or by crook".  They are the source of all schism and division and the cause of the disconnect from our heart to the Heart of God.  Their sole purpose and goal is to prevent the children of God from realizing their Christ Identity and returning to God in the ritual of the Ascension.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The souls of God must complete their evolution by putting on that mind that was also in Christ Jesus as Saint Paul said.  They are most vulnerable in the earth while they are in the process of accomplishing this feat.  The Christ of each child of God is a unique personality in God and our Christ Self is our True and Real Self.  God is not interested in human perfection; the human can never be perfected.  Perfection already exists in our Christ Self.  We must put off the human consciousness and all of its nonsense and put on our Christ Perfection.  We must put off corruption and put on incorruption; we must put off mortality and put on immortality.  We are intended to be immortal God free beings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Fall of Lucifer and his angels and the creation of "the tares among the wheat" occurred during the time of the Fourth Root Race (4th RR). The souls of the Fourth Root Race had great powers of creation. When Lucifer fell he and his angels still had a great momentum in the use of God's Light and Energy. They managed to beguile and confuse the souls of the 4th RR.  Distorted creations of half man half animal, dinosaurs and animal forms housing imprisoned elementals began to distort the creative intent of the Father. The souls of the 4th RR were creating a tremendous amount of negative karma. In order to prevent the total destruction of the 4th RR, the Great Karmic Board declared an edict that reduced the ThreeFold Flame of the heart to one sixteenth of an inch and decreased the amount of Light and Energy flowing over the Crystal Cord. The bodies of the 4th RR densified and they became as "cave men" as they were cast out of Eden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eventually even the reduced ThreeFold Flame got snuffed out and souls even forgot the use of fire. Things on the earth became dire. The purpose of a planet is to house souls who are evolving into their Christ Reality and ascending back to God. There is a requirement that at least one soul must ascend each year in order to maintain the planet as a schoolroom for souls. When no souls were able to meet the requirement, Cosmic Councils declared that the purpose of the planet ceased to be met. They therefore decreed the destruction of the planet. At the last possible moment a Great Soul, Sanat Kumara (known as the Ancient of Days) stepped forth and volunteered to exile himself to earth in order to Keep the Flame of Life for the evolutions of earth until the fire in their hearts could be rekindled and they began to ascend again. Sanat Kumara is the Hierarch of the planet Venus and he left his Twin Flame, the Lady Master Venus, for what turned out to be an exile of millions of years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One hundred and forty four thousand souls of Venus volunteered to come with Sanat Kumara to help Keep the Flame and to embody among earth's evolutions to help teach them the way back to God. They did not know what they were bargaining for as they had to take on the same dense bodies of the evolutions at that time. It was an excruciating experience. Their first outpost was established at Shamballa on an island in the Gobi Sea which is now the Gobi desert. Again and again advanced souls of their bands tried to establish a body of Teaching to help guide souls back to God and again and again they were murdered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Fifth Root Race and then the Sixth Root Race came into embodiment in the earth. They also became entangled in the maya of earth and got stuck here. To compound the situation even more, souls of other planets were brought to planet earth. They had succumbed to the fallen angels and their divide and conquer tactics. During great wars they managed to blow-up their planets. Only one third of the souls of the planet Maldek (now the Asteroid Belt) were salvagable and they were allowed to embody on earth. The other two thirds went through the Second Death. The same thing happened on the planet Hedron which was between Mercury and the Sun. This is why planet earth has such a varied populace and seems so overcrowded.  And now the souls of the Seventh Root Race are starting to embody.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Souls must re-embody with souls they have created karma with. They must work out that karma and learn to help each other evolve back to God. Karma is plotted astrologically as a cyclic return of energy. As planets and stars align a certain portion of karma descends.  It is like collanders within collanders and as their holes align a certain portion of energy passes through.  There is a very precise timing involved. The problem with abortion, besides creating more karma, is that it interferes with God's timing and it is a denial of God in the soul that is taking embodiment.  Abortion is ultimate selfishness. We have debts to pay to other souls and sometimes that debt is a debt of life. We have to give life to souls to whom we have denied life. We have to learn to nurture life and God in each other. Karma is never convenient and it severely tests the souls obedience to God. There is a great drama to the interplay of souls on planet earth. We take on different roles as players on a stage. Sometimes we are parent, sometimes we are child. Sometimes we are helper and sometimes we are antagonist. We have friends from past embodiments who take on burdens such as a beggar in the street so that we will learn compassion for the less fortunate. We rub against each other, as diamonds in the rough, knocking off chips of karmic debris and so we learn to "let the chips fall where they may".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For their part, the fallen angels and "tares" accumulate karma for their attacks against the souls of God in the earth. They are karma dodgers. They do not bear the burden of their karma on a daily basis in order to balance it. They seem to get away with murder. Actually, for each attack against a son or daughter of God, they lose momentums of energy as percentages of their attainment and energy are reduced.  O how the mighty have fallen.  They are like a fan whose plug has been pulled. The fan continues to spin as it gradually begins to slow down. Then like a light bulb just before it burns out, they flash bright, and then they are no more. Or, they become like the moon reflecting the light of the suns of God back to them so that they appear to have light when in fact they have none. They have learned to sustain themselves by stealing light from the children of the Light. They cannot receive Light directly from God as they are cut off. They cause children of the Light to misqualify their light and turn it into darkness which the fallen ones then are able to use. We must learn to remain harmonious no matter what assails us. We must be as a Lighthouse that continues to beam its light into the night no matter how mighty storm tossed seas may batter against us.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1990125730571226562-2864408759341674042?l=carltonnewman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/feeds/2864408759341674042/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1990125730571226562&amp;postID=2864408759341674042&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/2864408759341674042'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/2864408759341674042'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/2009/11/chapter-6-fallen-angels-and-tares-among.html' title='Chapter 6 Fallen Angels and the &quot;Tares&quot; Among Us'/><author><name>Carlton Newman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06059518479789952787</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jh_iFw6ZrTE/Stdfr3hJxLI/AAAAAAAAAAM/aUpSxdEFoNM/S220/CARLTON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990125730571226562.post-3492634311721763208</id><published>2009-11-10T00:47:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-25T06:35:21.679-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Chapter 5:  Who Are We?  Why and How Does Sound Impact Us? The Creation Story.</title><content type='html'>The word religion comes from the Latin root religio or religo meaning to bind, especially to what is perceived as a higher power, usually by the practice of certain tenets of a doctrine or dogma. St. Paul said, "Are ye so foolish? Having begun in the spirit are ye now made perfect in the flesh?" We are, first and foremost, spiritual beings. It is built into us at the quantum level and beyond. According to Quantum Physics, everything is "frequency". What we call "physical" is not as "solid" as you think. Everything animate and inanimate is composed of molecules containing one or more atoms. At the atomic level the space between the nucleus and the electrons is equivalent to the distance between the sun and the planets. At the quantum, subatomic level there is even more space and instead of "particles" there are "vibrating energy waves" oscillating between a physical and non-physical matrix (spirit/matter, matter/spirit). It may be due to the "vibration" of the waves or the "oscillation" between physical and non-physicality or it may be just the nature of what is there, everything has an "energy field", a "frequency", a "vibration" that is unique to it. Some "see" this energy field vibration as a rainbow like "aura" or "halo". These "auras" or energy fields influence and are influenced by other "auras" and are not blocked by clothing or other "physical" things. Just like electricity, these "energy fields" or "auras" have always been there and some have been able to "see" them, but we have all been able to "sense" them at one level or another. Have you ever gotten a "gut" feeling, an "intuition", a "premonition", a good or bad "feeling" ("good vibes", "bad vibes"), or a "funny feeling" about something or someone? Or, have you ever used an expression like "that sounds fishy", or "something smells rotten about that", or "that rings true"? These are more than mere feelings or expressions. We all know what you are talking about when you say them. These figures of speech are an attempt to relate something that is not "physical", but "vibrational" (at the quantum level), to one of our physical senses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because of the discoveries in Quantum Physics we are now "beginning" to understand this finer, more powerful source of energy and how it intricately interconnects and intertwines with us all at every level of our being. And, we are multi-dimensional beings, the densest, least powerful (but not least important) being the physical. Just as we have organs that correspond to our physical being, we also have organs that correspond at the quantum level. A Sanskrit name for them is "chakras". Chakra means wheel and chakras are whirling vortices of energy. They are like step-down transformers that step down the energy from the quantum level to the physical level to the physical organs (man does not live by bread alone). They help us connect with each other and all life at a very deep and basic level. There are seven major chakras (the 7 Churches in the temple of man) and 144 minor chakras throughout the body. There are 5 Secret Ray chakras, one in each hand and foot and one at the spleen. These are the points at which the Lord Jesus Christ was pierced while on the cross, and these are the points where the Stigmata has appeared in certain of the Saints. And, there is one special chakra known as "The Secret Chamber of the Heart" also called our "Heart of hearts". This is the location of the "Interior Castle" that St. Therese of Avila spoke of in her writings. Within that "Castle" is a majestic "Cathedral" or "Temple". On the high altar of that "Cathedral of the Heart" burns a triune "Unfed Flame" which is our "Seat of Authority" and our direct connection with the "Most High" Creator, I Am That I Am, Yahweh, El Shadai, Adonai, Elohim, Brahman, Allah, the Tao. Each "name" of God is a frequency, a connection by and through which we may understand a portion of His infinity. Remember, Jesus said, "the Kingdom of God is within you". "Did not our hearts burn within us" was the comment of the disciples as they walked with the Lord after his Resurrection. This Sacred Flame in our hearts sets us apart from all other parts of the creation. It is a Fleur-de-Lis of Power, Wisdom and Love. We are not animals and did not evolve from the animal creation. We are not mere humans but spiritual beings temporarily housed in a physical body. At the quantum level, there is only Unity, everything is ONE. Past, present, and future are the same. Time and Space are an illusion. Everything is HERE, everything is NOW.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All paths up the mountain lead to the summit although they may start at seemingly far distant points. If your path, your doctrine or your dogma is helping you grow spiritually that is good. But do not cast dispersion on the path of another. Remember, "ye are brethren", "we are one". All paths eventually lead to the "One Source" whatever name you choose to give it. Paths intersect, cross, merge, diverge in an ever ascending spiral. Some paths go up, some go down and some are dead ends. We learn the lesson we need to learn and then move on so fear not. We often learn more from our mistakes than our successes. Even science is included in this process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we are presented with new information we are forced to make a choice to accept, reject or somehow merge it into our awareness and understanding. "When I was a child I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." (Cor 12:11-12). Often what we first perceived as "truth" may, in the light of new understanding, seem "childish" or less complete. That is a maturation process we all must go through. It is not a put down or denial of any faith. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen". What are we not seeing? Do you see the wind, or the atom or the quantum wavelengths that make up all of matter? Yet we are all profoundly influenced by the unseen every moment of our lives. Why not embrace that fact and use it to our mutual benefit?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we get to the core of creation, the "cause behind the effect", even beyond Quantum Physics what do you have? Everything is composed of God's Light, Energy, Consciousness and has Innate Intelligence. We were created in the image and likeness of God, "our God is a consuming fire", and we are spirit sparks of the One Flame temporarily housed in a physical body. When the energy that is contained in the heart of the atom is forcibly released it can result in the destructive power of the atom bomb. But when it is contained and expanded by love it has great, unlimited, creative potential. Life forms and reforms itself in infinite patterns and dimensions. We exist in a "womb" consisting of coordinates of time and space in specific frequencies that enable us to develop certain faculties needed in yet higher planes of existence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This planet is a nursery or school room among many such nurseries and school rooms in the universe. Life is nurturing. Life is ever expanding its awareness of itself. We are given free will to choose the right use (righteous use) of energy. We reap what we sow, both the good and the bad. The law of karma (the cyclic return of energy) is exceedingly exact and exacting. No one is exempt. What goes around comes around. The law of reincarnation and the law of karma go hand in hand. We cannot experience the results of all of our sowings in one embodiment. Karma and reincarnation are teaching tools of the Father, they are not "punishment". We must learn the correct use of His energy because we are being prepared to become the Christs, the Sons and Daughters of God who will have all power in heaven and in earth as co-creators with God and with dominion over all of the Creation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The primordial "Sound", the "Word" or "Logos" was intoned and formed all that we know and experience. God spoke the fiat: "Let there be Light" and there was light. We were created of the Light and Sound Ray of God. All of the planning, thoughts and intents of God's Heart went into the fiat. The sounds we make (including thoughts and feelings) also impact on life. Look at this You Tube video of the power of sound to effect material changes in physical substances &lt;a href="http://curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=862325"&gt;http://curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=862325&lt;/a&gt;. Dr Hans Jenny created the Science of Cymatics - the study of wave phenomena on which the experiments in the YouTube video were based. Read more about him and see some of his original experiments here &lt;a href="http://www.unitedearth.com.au/sound.html"&gt;http://www.unitedearth.com.au/sound.html&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Dr Jenny had someone sing or "sound" a sustained AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMM (AUM or OM) at sand it formed a series of interlaced triangles that looked like progressively larger "Stars of David" with a border around it (9 ascending and descending isosceles triangles). This same pattern appears in an ancient Yantra. A Yantra is a geometric form, often a painting or carving, on which Hindus and Buddhists meditated while intoning the AUM (OM or other mantras) in order to raise consciousness (this is the same "mandala" that the movie "The Last Mimzy" emphasized, you can see it there) or click this link &lt;a href="http://www.rudraksha-ratna.com/shreeyantra.htm"&gt;http://www.rudraksha-ratna.com/shreeyantra.htm&lt;/a&gt; to see the Shree (Sri) Yantra that is formed when you say the OM or AUM.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frequency, vibration, sound can raise consciousness to a higher state of evolution. It can also cause consciousness to devolve and decline. We are continuously being bombarded by all kinds of sounds and frequencies. There are UHF and VHF TV frequencies and AM, FM and Short Wave radio frequencies. There is Radar and Microwave. And even more sinister, there are HAARP and Psycotronic energy waves and others. And who knows what forms of energy, sounds etc., that are being carried over those frequencies. And beware of the negative thoughts and feelings of others known or unknown to you. You have great need to spiritually strengthen and protect your aura. "Whatever you ask for in my name, I will give it unto you" was the advice and counsel of Jesus. Ask him or your favorite Master or Saint (Gautama, Lao Tzu, Confucius, Mother Mary, Shiva, Krishna, etc, etc) to establish a mighty sphere of Light in, through and around you as spiritual protection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the same time frame as Dr. Jenny, Dr. Denis did studies involving muscle kinesiology and the effect of sound on muscle strength. He found that certain rhythms increased strength and certain rhythms reduced strength dramatically. The rhythm of the Waltz, the three quarter time, increased strength. The syncopated beat, which is the rhythm of voodoo, jazz music and rock, immediately and dramatically reduced strength. That rhythm also forces open the chakras causing an energy rush sensation much like a drug high, causing an addiction to the sound and great harm to the individual. Heavy Metal, RAP, etc are like progressively stronger drugs. To counteract negative sounds and rhythms and to protect your home and environment, the Nine Symphonies of Beethoven and Mahler's Ninth Symphony are recommended. They can be played at a low level in the background. The music of Mozart helps raise consciousness. Waltz music is the music of freedom and liberation and it corresponds to the color Violet (a pastel purple/pink color). Each instrument in the orchestra corresponds to a certain chakra as do certain pieces of music. The Ancient Greeks knew the power of Pure Art and Music to raise consciousness and they used it to raise their civilization to a high pinnacle. They passed laws prohibiting distortions in art or music with a penalty of exile for offenders. Distortions did eventually creep in and we know the result. Is that what is happening to America and the world today? Additionally, the power of the Spoken Word wields tremendous power for good or for ill. When correctly used there is no condition on earth that cannot be corrected by the power of "The Science of the Spoken Word", invoking spiritual fire from the heart of God to cleanse, protect and purify the earth and all thereon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As "co-creators with God" we created the distortions and imbalances we are experiencing in our lives and we can un-create them by the proper use of (Spiritual) Light, Sound and Energy through the Science of the Spoken Word. Life is self adjusting, self balancing, self-correcting all of the time. Though the sin be forgiven every jot and tittle of the karma (law) must be balanced, that is a work that only we can do because that is how we learn the application of spiritual law. If Jesus or anyone else took that opportunity from us it would be a great injustice to the development of our souls. New dispensations come, new awakenings, new understanding, and new spiritual tools are given to those who will accept them. Life ever prefers the gentler way but stubborn man often resists the help and the helper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the dawning of the Aquarian Age came new dispensations. The prior requirement of balancing 100% of your karma before ascending back to the Father was reduced to 51% allowing for the remaining 49% to be balanced from the Ascended Octaves. The knowledge and use of God's Violet Flame was also granted. The Violet Flame is the Universal Solvent for all negative karma and is invoked from the Heart of God using the Violet Flame Mantra: "I am a being of Violet Fire, I am the Purity God desires".  The mantra uses the name of God, I AM THAT I AM, that was given to Moses on Mt Sinai as a testament and memorial forever.  The name of God, I AM THAT I AM, is an affirmation of True Being, as above so below, God is above as God is below.  We can also use this name as an affirmation that where I am, God is there also.  When we say "I am" we are really saying "God in me is".  "I am" (God in me is) "that" same "I am" (God that is above).  When we say and affirm the Violet Flame Mantra, "I am a being of violet fire, I am the purity God desires", we are saying: God in me (as the Holy Spirit) is the violet flame action of his cosmic eraser that is transmuting and changing all negative energy and negative karma back into the purity that God desires. Visualize yourself (the planet, a loved one, a condition) bathed in violet flame (a pastel purple-pink color)as you give the mantra for 15 minutes daily without interruption (or as much as you can). Give it while taking a shower, washing the dishes, cleaning house, driving to work, etc. For more on this visit &lt;a href="http://www.tsl.org/"&gt;http://www.tsl.org/ &lt;/a&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;or watch this YouTube video (click the "Play" button in the middle of the screen and on the bottom left if it hasn't started). &lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dFbPMKj3-_U&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;rel=0"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dFbPMKj3-_U&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The work of Dr. Emoto further illuminates the power of sound, thoughts and words on a substance as simple as water. Our bodies are about 70% water so his discoveries have a profound effect on us. He places a word or phrase on a container of water. He then freezes the water and observes the crystalline structure of the water under a microscope. What he found will amaze you. You can see it following this link to &lt;a href="http://www.life-enthusiast.com/twilight/research_emoto.htm"&gt;http://www.life-enthusiast.com/twilight/research_emoto.htm&lt;/a&gt;. Here are five videos of Dr Emoto producing water crystals with music, thoughts, spoken and written words &lt;a href="http://enwaterment.com/"&gt;http://enwaterment.com/&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following is an overview of the Creation story, an introduction, and is the subject of thousands of hours of recorded lectures and dictations; some of which have been published and many which are still waiting transcription and editing in preparation for publication.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God was. When he decided to expand His awareness of Himself, He started the process that we call the Creation. He individed Himself into a Positive and Negative polarity, Male and Female, Alpha and Omega. He became the Father/Mother God. He further divided Himself into the Son (Word, Logos, Christ) and the Holy Spirit (Breath). Using these archetypes of Himself, He began the preparations for the creation of His Sons and Daughters, His Christs. Everything in creation is composed of God's Light, Energy and Consciousness and has Innate Intelligence. These are the building blocks for all Life. God created Cosmic Beings, Elohim, Archangels, Angels, Seraphim, Cherubim and elemental builders of form: the salamanders (fire), sylphs (air), undines (water) and gnomes (earth). He determined that there would be a division between the Spiritual realms and the realms of "physicality".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spirit (Spiritual Fire) is the domain of the Father and Matter (physical/material) is the domain of the Mother. The physical dimensions are a womb, with coordinates of time and space, for the souls development. The "Physical" domain is composed of four levels or quadrants of being: the Etheric Quadrant (fire) is closest to the Spiritual realms; the Mental Quadrant (air) contains the Mind of God; the Emotional Quadrant (water) contains the Desires of God; and the Physical Quadrant (earth) is the anchor point of physical expression, the Temple of the Holy Spirit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God created Souls in His image and in His likeness, male and female, out of His Sacred Fire in the pattern of His Christ (Son) with the Living Potential to become His Christs. Jesus said that we were with him in the beginning and he taught us to pray to Our Father who art in Heaven. We are one in and with the Body of Christ which is broken for each of us. Christ is the Light (the Candle) that lights every man and woman who comes into the world (whorl of energy densified). One candle can light billions of other candles without itself being diminished. And, billions of candles intensify and magnify the Light of God. Each candle or star differs from another in glory as the soul develops and puts on its unique identity in Christ. The soul is a potential in as much as it must complete its development in the Physical domains and "put on that Mind that was also in Christ Jesus" as St Paul said. The soul evolved for eons in Spirit putting on skeins of God's Consciousness in preparation for its decent into physicality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The soul is intended to become the fullness of its Christ Reality. The planets are schoolrooms and laboratories for the soul in which the soul performs its experiments with the Light and Energy of God. The soul is learning to become the fullness of Christ so that it may return again to the Father in Spirit as a Christ, a permanent Son or Daughter of God, and be given dominion and authority over all of the Creation with all power in Heaven and in earth given to it. To prevent miscreations from entering the kingdom of heaven there is a barrier of vibration between domains and heaven may not interfere with the free will choices of the soul unless the soul cries out for help and commands and demands intercession. To help the soul learn to use God's energy correctly the laws of karma and reincarnation were established as a governor to limit the extent of miscreations. The soul experiences the results of its uses of God's energy in the succeeding bodies it is given to wear and in the circumstances of each embodiment. The soul wears four lower bodies in the earth. Cor 15:40 "There are also celestial bodies and bodies terrestrial; but the glory of the celestrial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another". These bodies are: the etheric (fire, memory), mental (air, mind), emotional (water, desire) and&lt;br /&gt;physical (earth, mobility). The chakras(discussed earlier) are the organs of the etheric body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Souls are sent into the earth in groups called Root Races and the planet is intended to be the host of one Root Race at a time. Each Root Race is composed of souls who serve under one of the Seven Rainbow Rays of God. Each color ray of the rainbow has unique qualities and powers. Here is a brief statement of each ray. Blue is the ray of power and God's will (Father); Yellow is the ray of wisdom and illumination (Son); Pink is the ray of love, divine art and creativity (Holy Spirit); White is the ray of the purity of the Mother and discipline; Green is the ray of science, truth, and healing; Purple and Gold flecked with Ruby is the ray of service and ministration; and Violet is the ray of freedom, liberty, alchemy and sacred ritual. Three Root Races have each, in their turn, come into physicality, fulfilled their divine purpose and plan, put on their Christhood and returned to the Father in the ritual of the ascension.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things were going well until the Archangel Lucifer, in his arrogant pride, refused to recognize the Christs of God as being over him in authority. Lucifer had bands of angels under his command. There was war in Heaven and Saint Michael the Archangel, the Prince of Angels and Captain of the Lords Hosts, and his Angels fought with Lucifer and his angels. Lucifer and his angels were cast out of heaven and into the "physical" domains. This is when things started to get "messed up" in the earth.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1990125730571226562-3492634311721763208?l=carltonnewman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/feeds/3492634311721763208/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1990125730571226562&amp;postID=3492634311721763208&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/3492634311721763208'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/3492634311721763208'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/2009/11/chapter-5-who-are-we-how-does-sound.html' title='Chapter 5:  Who Are We?

Registration for "Convocation of the New Birth in the City of the Angels Easter 1974" was set to begin at 9:00 AM. I lived in the San Fernando Valley so I got up early and put on my blue suit with a light violet shirt and a yellow with purple dot tie. I drove to the conference and arrived early. The opening of registration was delayed. I stood off to one side as the room began to fill with people coming to attend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had attended many different kinds of lectures and seminars during the past two years. While they were interesting and informative there was nothing particularly remarkable about them. The people that attended seemed to be just ordinary people with some general interest or curiosity about the subject. I had never experienced what I was experiencing now. The people that were coming to this conference had a tremendous amount of light in their auras. These were not ordinary people. These were people who knew who they were. These were people who were here for a definite purpose; they had a mission. I had not yet engaged in conversation with any of them and yet I knew them. These were my long lost brothers and sisters (Mat 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother). I felt as if I were home at last; this is what I had been searching for over the past two years. I could hardly wait for the five day conference to begin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first lecture was given by a member of the Board of Directors of &lt;a href="http://www.tsl.org/"&gt;The Summit Lighthouse&lt;/a&gt;. The Summit Lighthouse was the organization putting on the conference. It was titled "The True Image of Self as Seen through the All Seeing Eye of God, How You Can Recognize and Put On Your True Image". I was astounded. Things that I knew and had discovered for myself, things that other people just did not understand, these things and more were presented in clear and concise terms. This is what I had been missing; a terminology and a lexicon of the spirit to describe what I had experienced and knew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Often when I attended the presentations of other groups there was a certain amount of information that was presented as a kind of teaser. Their more "esoteric" teaching was not presented and they would feed you crumbs to keep you following along. What I was getting from this lecture (and others that were to follow) were not just crumbs but the whole loaf. It was amazing. Questions that I had and that no one else was able to answer were being answered in full as were questions that I did not even know that I had. Nothing was held back and nothing was left out. For a person with a voracious appetite for spiritual knowledge I was being well fed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In between lectures there were beautiful slide shows and musical meditations. They taught an advanced form of combined prayer and mantra called decrees. These were worded formulas that when spoken with authority invoked light from on high. Spiritual Fire is not resident on the earth but it is desperately needed to clear the spiritual/material pollution from our bodies, souls and minds and from the planet as a whole. Still being alert to deception I carefully studied the words and found them pure and unsullied. They expressed a clear and purposeful intent to bring certain aspects of God's Spiritual Fire into specific conditions in the earth. They called this The Science of the Spoken Word (they have a book by this title available at major bookstores and from Amazon.com) and it was a fulfillment of the word of God that said "thou shalt decree a thing and it shall be established unto thee". For the Spiritual Fire of God to flow from spirit to matter a command and demand must be made by an embodied son or daughter of God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God is the decree. The words come from advanced beings, sons and daughters of God who have gained mastery over the earth. They have come out of every nation and people on earth, and every race and religion, and have put on "that mind that was also in Christ Jesus". They are known as Ascended Masters because after they had put on their Christ Reality, the Word Incarnate, they ascended to the heart of God and had become fused with Him as immortal beings. They are our elder brothers and sisters and they continue to guide us. They formulated the words of the decrees to become chalices of light. Each time a decree is given an increment of light is released into our being and into the earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God is the decree er. The Father &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;worketh&lt;/span&gt; hitherto and I work. God in me &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;doeth&lt;/span&gt; the work. God is in us and it is by the Power and Authority of His Son, Jesus Christ with our own Holy Christ Self that we have the authority to speak the words that invoke His Light. We are not ourselves but we have been bought with a price. Jesus paid the price for us in order for us to be able to gain the realization of who we are in Christ. I will explain more about this in a little while.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God is the answer to the decree. The decree is a sacred formula that invokes God's Light as Spiritual Fire. When that Fire enters the planes of earth it bursts forth as a spiritual flame. Depending on the action and quality of the flame invoked, the light and energy released flows through us and out into the world to perform its perfect work. Each one of the Rainbow Rays of God is a specific quality of God's Light and has a specific action in Heaven and in earth. The Violet Band of the Rainbow has the quality of Freedom and Liberation, of Spiritual Alchemy and of Sacred Ritual. The Violet Flame is known as the Universal Solvent. It is closest in vibration to the earth and has the ability to free trapped energy. The Violet Flame can be invoked using the Violet Flame Mantra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The name of God that was given to Moses on Mt. Sinai was I AM THAT I AM. This name of God is a testament and memorial forever. When we say "I am" we are using God's name. What ever you say after saying "I am" is an affirmation that God in you is that thing. A lot of the time we take God's name "I am" in vain by saying after it things like: sick, tired, poor, angry, etc. God then fulfills that affirmation in us. This is one way that we misuse or &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;misqualify&lt;/span&gt; God's light and energy. The &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;misqualified&lt;/span&gt; energy &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;densifies&lt;/span&gt; and gets trapped here in the earth and in our bodies and is the cause of decay and death and every problem of man. The Violet Flame Mantra invokes the Universal Solvent of the violet flame into that &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;misqualified&lt;/span&gt; energy and frees it so that it can complete its return cycle back to God. The Violet Flame Mantra uses the name of God "I am" as follows: "I am a being of violet fire, I am the purity God desires'. It should be given in sets of three in honor of the Father. the Son and the Holy Spirit. As you say the words visualize a bonfire of violet flame in, through and around you. This fire is not hot or destructive like physical fire is. It actually feels cool. You can give the Violet Flame Mantra as you meditate or while doing chores such as washing the dishes, taking a shower, driving to work, etc. There is a tremendous action if you can give it for 15 minutes without interruption. This is not vain repetition since you remain engaged and understand that you are drawing down God's light through the chalices of the words that you are saying. A water pump works by rapidly pushing a small quantity of water in each stroke of the engine. You are the engine that is pumping a small quantity of God's Light into the earth with each repetition of the mantra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is so much more about this subject. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;Fortunately&lt;/span&gt;, the book "The Science of the Spoken Word" from Summit University Press covers this topic in detail and is &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;available&lt;/span&gt; from many major book stores and Amazon.com.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I was learning and experiencing so far was beyond my wildest expectations. What happened next was almost &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;inconceivable;&lt;/span&gt; a re-experiencing of the Light, the same Light that I experienced two years before while on my knees at work.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1990125730571226562-5439032611698868653?l=carltonnewman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/feeds/5439032611698868653/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1990125730571226562&amp;postID=5439032611698868653&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/5439032611698868653'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/5439032611698868653'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/2009/11/registration-for-convocation-of-new.html' title='Chapter 4: Registration for &quot;Convocation of the New Birth in the City of the Angels Easter 1974&quot;'/><author><name>Carlton Newman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06059518479789952787</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jh_iFw6ZrTE/Stdfr3hJxLI/AAAAAAAAAAM/aUpSxdEFoNM/S220/CARLTON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990125730571226562.post-8197533359083004355</id><published>2009-11-05T03:27:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-17T05:05:44.113-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Chapter 3: I Digress a Bit.</title><content type='html'>There is so much to say about this experience and about my life. To put it in linear fashion would probably be too boring. As I recall things I will include them in this blog. Sometimes I write things in response to articles in Scientific American Online or to Political sites, or to other Social Networking sites all of which I link to on my Twitter site &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/newcarlton"&gt;http://twitter.com/newcarlton&lt;/a&gt; and then I may include them here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Growing up, I was ambivalent about God. I was not interested in religion. I had feelings and experiences that I could not explain that probably should have indicated a spiritual connection but that is not where my interests were. I loved to play in and with Nature. I lived in East Los Angeles in the town of Rivera which later became Pico Rivera. There was a ditch behind my house that was part of the Los Angeles River drainage system. I loved to play with the poly wogs and tadpoles, frogs and bull frogs, crayfish, guppies, water spiders and all that was there. These were my friends.  I put too much sugar on my cereal which made me hyperactive in school.  I was always getting into trouble.  In the First Grade my teacher put me outside of the classroom on a porched area.  Under the row of windows was a little ledge and under the ledge were several black widow spiders and their nests.  I was not afraid of them and they did not bother me but a voice in my head cautioned me about what might happen if another child was put there and they could get bitten.  I did not have anything to kill them with so I made a fist and used  the heel of my hand to smash the spiders and their egg sacks.  When I was about 7 years old I was playing miles from home in the "Wash", the dry river bed of the Los Angeles River, when I heard my mother calling me. I rushed home. She said she hadn't called me but was about to. Sitting in church I often felt that I should be doing what the minister was doing at the altar but this did not make me want to seek the ministry as a profession. On the football field in High School I was on defense as the last person between the ball carrier and the goal line.  I stood in front of the ball carrier but did not touch him.  In my head I heard a very loud voice saying "where are you going to run, I am everywhere". The ball carrier stopped and just stood there until the Referee finally blew the whistle. The voice was so loud I thought everyone in the stands could hear it (the other player certainly did). Still, I didn't make anything of it and just continued in the game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I was in Hawaii I was surfing at Haleiwa on the North Shore of Oahu in the Fall. We were surfing the breaks about a quarter mile offshore when we saw larger waves start to "hump-up" about a quarter to a half mile further out. We turned our boards and started paddling to get beyond their breaking point. I was paddling up the face of a wave that must have been between 15 and 20 feet tall when it broke on me. The force of tons of water drove me to the bottom and drug me along with it for what seemed like an eternity. I kept feeling something bump me. At first I thought is was my surfboard but that was impossible as the board is much more buoyant and rose to the surface long ago. I could not see in all of the foam and turmoil that the wave caused but I knew that it had to be a dolphin and it pushed me to the surface saving my life. I had a long and difficult swim and I finally pulled myself up and onto the rocks that formed and sheltered the bay. A fisherman retrieved my board from the bay and returned it to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both of my parents smoked and sometimes one of them would have me carry a lighted cigarette from one to the other on the other side of the house. I was very young and curious and so I would try to "smoke it". Of course I got my slobber all over it so they knew what I did but they did not punish me. When I was five or six years old some builders tore out a huge Orange Grove of trees near my home and built El Rancho High School. We made orange juice from our own four trees and sold it to the workers. I would pick up the butts of their cigars and cigarettes and smoke them. I bought my first pack of cigarettes from a vending machine. When I got caught by the gas station attendant I told him that I was buying them for my sick father. I was finally able to "kick the habit" after my spiritual experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that if I would have stayed in the Army that I would have become an alcoholic. The NCO Club was only about six or seven blocks from my barracks and mixed drinks were only 35 cents. Booze by the bottle was very cheap. Company parties always featured lots of beer. Alcohol relieved the stress, the lonliness and was just a part of Army life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was also very curious about sex and would play "doctor" with the girls when I was just five or six years old. I thought that what they had was far more interesting than what I had. That curiosity and fascination has never really left me. In all of physical creation there is nothing more wonderful, beautiful and fascinating than the anatomy of a woman. It is something that is always there. It is a part of life. It is something that I have had to reconcile and deal with as I have awakened to my spiritual nature. As I move closer and closer to God the things that I was and did must recede and fade as I begin to merge with my spiritual Reality. As I learned later, the word sex is an abbreviation for "sacred" or (sacral) "energy" for Christ (or the birth of the Christ). As we move toward our Christhood we must gain mastery over all forms of energy, including the "sex" energy. For some it is not a problem, for others it may be more difficult.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forgiveness is the key. We all have our ups and downs. We vow to God that we will not make the same mistake again and then we slip and make that mistake again. God does not condemn us, he has forgiven us almost before we ask. We must not fall into the trap of condemning ourselves. The greatest sin against God is to declare ourselves unworthy. When we hold the concept of unworthiness about ourselves (or another), God cannot reach us; we set ourselves outside the circle of His protection. God in us is worthy. We are not sinners beyond sin with no hope of redemption. Even the most hardened criminal, arch deciever or fallen angel can and will be forgiven; all we need to do is ask. We are not this flesh and blood body. Our soul is fire of God's fire. He has placed His Unfed Flame in our hearts (more on this later). We must forgive ourselves and others and keep trying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If anything, I feel even more in the company of Saints. Gautama Buddha lived in a luxurious palace with all manner of diversions before he had his awakening. Saint Francis of Assisi was a reveler before he was awakened. Saint Paul persecuted the Christians before the Light of Christ blinded his eyes and awakened him. God finds us where we are and His Light leads us out of our darkness. But, we need to learn how to work with Him and not against Him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the past two years since my experience with the Light and my awakening I had been tested and tried. There was a need to sharpen my sense of discernment of spirits as there are many that try to deceive and lead us astray. The first hitch hiker that I took to San Francisco was one. Much later I picked up another hitch hiker, this time a female, and she began to point out certain signs in me that indicated that I was an advanced spiritual being according to a certain book that I had read. She was sent by her guru to entice me into following them. They knew who I was and where I would be and that I would likely pick her up. There were many such occurrences and I had become very wary as I continued my quest to know and understand who I was, why the Light had awakened me, what it was that I was becoming, what it was that God wanted me to do for Him. I had an ever growing sense that there was a special someone that I needed to find, a person who knew more than I did, a person who could answer unanswered questions, a person who could guide me, teach me and show me how to serve God and to help save this planet and people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Tuesday, April 9, 1974 I was in the office of a Judge signing the Final Declaration for Dissolution of my marriage. I thought my life had ended. Even though we had been legally separated for a year according to the law, I still felt sad and depressed that I would not see my wife and children again. The next day I decided to go to the spiritual conference that I had learned about from the flyer on the bulletin board at school I was in the Registration area at the Ambassador Hotel, Wednesday, April 10, 1974 and my senses were tingling with excitement.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1990125730571226562-8197533359083004355?l=carltonnewman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/feeds/8197533359083004355/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1990125730571226562&amp;postID=8197533359083004355&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/8197533359083004355'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/8197533359083004355'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/2009/11/i-digress-bit.html' title='Chapter 3: I Digress a Bit.'/><author><name>Carlton Newman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06059518479789952787</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jh_iFw6ZrTE/Stdfr3hJxLI/AAAAAAAAAAM/aUpSxdEFoNM/S220/CARLTON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990125730571226562.post-2760737873868207414</id><published>2009-10-20T01:28:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-22T08:43:20.488-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Chapter 2: A Prayer Answered; Now What?  Life After Death</title><content type='html'>God not only heard the prayer of a "sinner" like me, but He answered in no uncertain terms. In response to my prayer, and my request to help God (instead of the other way around) the Light of God enfolded me with such Love and a loving caress that the words come to mind: " and I will pour out a blessing upon them that they will not be able to contain" . Was I somehow unique, a freak of nature? It seemed so natural and yet so unnatural as this sort of thing had never happened to me before. Was this what it was like for St. Paul when Jesus met him on the road to Damascus and blinded his eyes with the Light of his magnificence? There were certainly similarities but there were differences also. God is no respecter of persons and He has no favorite sons. It is written in scripture that God has written his laws in our inward parts. I felt a quickening within me that there are no words to describe. Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." What were God's plans for me now? I had certainly "asked for it".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are parts of us that lay dormant, like a woman when she conceives a child, that become quickened when the occasion arises. Parts of the woman that were dormant become quickened at conception and progress throughout pregnancy. A muscle that she barely knew she had forms a womb to nourish and protect the child developing within her. When it is time for the child to come into the world, that muscle takes over to expel the child from the womb. Previously she had no knowledge of that muscle or how to use it but it was there and it, and her body, "knew" what to do. It is a miracle and a process of nature that we sometimes take for granted, and that some have come to despise. Looking back, with years of experience behind me, the only way that I can describe what happened to me with the Light of God is to say that Christ was quickened in me. Christ in me would know what to do. I had to trust the process. It was not all revealed at once, it would be revealed over time. I had to follow the mandate in Luke 11:9 "And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had asked God to show me how to help Him solve the problems of the world. This was no time to become a hermit or to seek a cloistered life. It was necessary for me to remain engaged with the world through outer work while at the same time performing the inner spiritual work to liberate a planet and a people. I tried to follow the principles set forth by Christ and Buddha in seeking Right Livelihood, and multiplying my skills and talents. I needed to stay in school and get my degree.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In all of my years in school when asked the question: "what do you want to do in life, what profession, what career?'; I had no answer. I was in college as a Business major because I wanted to learn how to run a business; I did not know which one or what it would involve. I had been a Drill Instructor, now I was a Computer Operator on IBM 360 Series computers (you find these in Computer Museums now). Now I had new decisions to make and I needed to understand what had happened to me and what I was supposed to do. Using the analogy of the pregnant woman, I needed to understand what the process was all about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a knowing within me that I would not find the answer in orthodoxy alone. Nevertheless, I started taking Religious Studies courses as electives. One of the courses was squeezed into an unusual two month winter break. It was taught by a man from India and the subject was Houston Smith's book "The Religions of Man" published by Mentor Books. We were required to visit a Church, Synagogue or Temple that was different from what we normally attended. When I was in High School I babysat for a young boy. "Out of the blue", his mother contacted me and invited me to attend his Bar Mitzvah which I was most happy to do. In the hills above Hollywood, I visited the Vedanta Society and experienced a Hindu ceremony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our University also had an "Experimental College". Anyone could obtain classroom space for free and present a lecture or a course on any topic. I attended as many different lectures and courses as I could. One lecture was given by Shafica Karagulla, a medical doctor and psychiatrist, on her book on"Higher Sense Perception, HSP" entitled Breakthrough to Creativity.&lt;br /&gt;After the lecture we had a question and answer session. People were pressing all around her asking questions rapid fire. I wanted to know if it were possible for people to develop higher faculties. I could not get the question asked but held it strongly in my mind. Suddenly she turned to me and answered the question in the negative. Then she paused, stunned, because she realized what had just happened. She knew that she had received my question telepathically.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Light had sensitized or activated certain spiritual faculties within me and I was experimenting. I was able to "read" or sense things in people. I was able to contact souls who had passed from the "physical" screen of life and who were now on the other side of the veil. A mother and daughter, both of their names were Mary, wanted me to contact their husband/father to tell him how sorry they were for how they had treated him. They had me go into the school library to a section I had never been to before, and take a certain book off of a certain shelf, and turn to a certain page, and read a certain entry. It was kind of a Who's Who book. I called the phone number listed in the book and got a nurse. I explained why I was calling and who I wanted to talk to. She declined to let me speak to the man who was now very old and frail. I contacted other "departed souls" and found that for the most part they were very confused, disoriented, and not very spiritually developed. I later learned why they are confused and why it is not a good idea to "channel" spirits or to participate with others in such activities. I will explain more about this in later entries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Ascended Masters sponsored the Spritualist Movement of the 1800's to let people know that there is life after death.  I proved that there is life after death for myself by contacting those whose bodies had "died" but their souls were very much alive.  Because of this I could understand people who had "near death" experiences and could validate their stories for myself.  Some of the more interesting and well known cases are those of Danion Brinkley, Mellen Thomas Benedict and Betty Edie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another Experimental College course that I took was on Self Hypnosis. Again, I had to learn the hard way that any form of hypnosis is dangerous to the soul as it violates certain protections set in place. Dr. Helen Wambach wrote a book entitled "Life Before Life" and the book "Mass Dreams of the Future" was based on her work. She originally set out to debunk the idea of reincarnation but instead scientifically proved that it was real.  There is life after death and there is life before birth; the life of the soul is a continuum. To Dr. Wambach's credit, she had the "sense" to ask permission of the person's Higher Self before revealing details of past lives under hypnosis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a voracious appetite and "need to know" for all things spiritual. I read many books and talked to many people. The least helpful people turned out to be ministers in Christian Churches. They were like blind leaders of the blind. They could quote chapter and verse but they had no understanding of the words they were quoting. In my last semester in college I had a Religious Studies course on the Bible. When I did an exegesis of a biblical passage, the Holy Spirit revealed things that astounded my professor and fellow classmates. There was a two week seminar at a local Junior College on religious leaders and spiritual communities from around the world. I ditched my regular college classes and attended the seminar. Remember, this was my last semester in college and I going to graduate in June. It was hard to maintain an interest in the subject of "business", it seemed so mundane and unimportant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a long time now I kind of felt like "The Lone Ranger". I did not meet anyone else like me or who knew what I knew about God or Spirituality. This also took a toll on my wife. She had filed for divorce a year earlier. I left her lawyers office in Pasadena, CA sad and depressed about losing my family. My son was four years old and my daughter was two and a half. I headed for the freeway. I saw a hitchhiker and decided to take him wherever he wanted to go. He wanted to go to San Francisco. This was 1974, during the Carter Administration, and we were on a kind of gas rationing system based on odd or even numbers on our license plates. On the road I talked about my spiritual experiences and books I had read. It turns out that the young man was on his way to Canada to be with people who were experimenting with sleep deprivation as a kind of spiritual experience and he wanted to stop off at his home first. He invited me to come with him. We slept on the side of the road that night and I took him home the next day. While he was visiting his family, I visited the graveyard across the street. I got the sense that if I went with him I would be running away from my destiny. I returned to Los Angeles, somehow able to get gas even though I had the wrong license plate number for that day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now it was a year later and my wife and I had to appear before a magistrate for the Final Dissolution of Marriage. The appointment was on a Tuesday during Easter Vacation. I had seen a poster on the bulletin board in the hall by my classroom. It announced another seminar or Conference at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles that was to take place on Wednesday, the day after the Final Dissolution of Marriage meeting on Tuesday . Actually there were two posters. The first one had a picture by Dore of Angels encircling a cross and it said that the conference would be on angels, auras and other topics of interest to me. Because of the pending divorce I procrastinated registering for the Conference. The second poster convinced me that I just had to attend. It was a picture of a woman standing on top of Pikes Peak and flashing the Victory fingers. At the meeting on Tuesday I felt as if my life had ended. On Wednesday I felt as if my life was just beginning; I had found what I had been searching for over the past two years.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1990125730571226562-2760737873868207414?l=carltonnewman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/feeds/2760737873868207414/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1990125730571226562&amp;postID=2760737873868207414&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/2760737873868207414'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/2760737873868207414'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/2009/10/prayer-answered-now-what.html' title='Chapter 2: A Prayer Answered; Now What?

I played Little League Baseball and Pop Warner Midget Football and had a leadership position in my Sea Explorer Scout Unit. In High School I played "B" and Varsity Football in the Fall and during the Spring I was a pole vaulter on our track team. I was active in student government and I was a Math Major preparing for College. I had my share of problems with authority figures and other students. I had to learn that the only way to handle a bully was to stand up to him and challenge him, and I had my share of fights, especially in Junior High School. My reputation preceded me into High School so I was usually able to talk my way out of a fight. In Junior High I worked with my mom on the John F. Kennedy presidential campaign. I was waiting for my Second Period History Teacher to arrive when his assassination was announced. My History teacher never came back to school. It was worse than having the air knocked out of you. Nothing was the same again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Religion was not a big factor in my life although there were occasions where I tried to learn more such as when I took catechism classes at the Lutheran church we attended (but that didn't last long). While sitting in Church, I would sometimes have a strange feeling that I should be at the Altar doing what the Minister was doing. I couldn't explain it, but that is where I felt I belonged. My mother had her astrology done and all that the astrologer would tell her is that one of her children would be religious, possibly in the priesthood. She did not know who of her six children that would be and I never discussed my feelings with her. When I was in my early 20's I had my own astrology done and it showed that I was a very old soul and that the dew drop was about to merge with the Ocean. I had no idea what that meant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I graduated from High School in June of 1964. I attended a year of Junior College and during the summer break of 1965 some friends and I decided to go to Hawaii to surf. I liked it there so much that I decided to stay. I got a job as a Desk Clerk at a hotel and did the night audit. The Viet Nam War was heating up and it didn't take long for the Draft Board to find me. I got drafted into the Army and reported to Fort Bliss Texas in January, 1966. Brrrrrrr. Shock and cold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During Basic Training I gave in to some indoctrination program and signed up for Officer Candidate School (OCS) because I had some college. Later, I changed my mind and dropped it. This messed up my Orders for where I was supposed to go after Basic so I was held over for a couple of weeks while they tried to decide what they were going to do with me. They were going to send me to Fort Knox, Kentucky for Advanced Training in the Armor School for Tanks and then to OCS in Armor. They decided to send me there anyway for the Advanced Training. When that was done I was again held over for a few weeks until they finally decided to give me three choices. One: I could go directly to Viet Nam. Two: I could go to Germany to train with a unit that was preparing to go to Viet Nam. Three: I could go to the Non-commissioned Officer (NCO) Military Academy to train to become a Drill Instructor. This was a new program and they were about to graduate their first class. They were sending all of the experienced NCO's to Viet Nam and they needed people to train the troops. They figured that if they could turn a soldier into an Officer in six months that they could turn one into a Drill Instructor in six weeks. This meant a promotion from Private to Corporal upon graduation and no Viet Nam. I became a Drill Instructor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was an assistant to a Staff Sgt for one eight week Basic Training cycle after which he was sent to Viet Nam and I was on my own. I was in charge of a WWI era 2-story wooden barracks and up to 50 trainees and all of their weapons and equipment. The cracks in the walls were like mini windows. When the temperatures got down to 4 degrees F., the water in the butt cans would freeze solid by morning. I was a Drill Instructor for eighteen months and trained eight groups of men. We often had back to back eight-week training cycles where we would graduate one class on Friday and pick up another one on Monday. The Army had a program called McNamara's Hundred Thousand. They were trying to train men as quickly as possible and they were not very selective in who they drafted. I had everything from poorly educated wino's and hoods off of the street to stock brokers with advanced degrees. I became the Company First Aid NCO and Weapons NCO and was the go-to guy for all problems after hours. I also had special Riot Control training because of the campus unrest concerning the war. Two months before my honorable discharge from the Army in January, 1968 I earned the rank of Sgt. E-5 and the Good Conduct Medal with Letters of Commendation through the entire Chain of Command from the Secretary of the Army on down to our local command.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went back to Los Angeles and got a job. What a let down and culture shock that was. I thought going into the Army was culture shock. I went from having great responsibility to performing a routine and very dull task. My best buddy from the Army got out two months before I did and one night he called to offer me his old job as a courier for a conglomerate company. At night I could train to become a computer operator as he did and I did eventually become a computer operator. In January of 1969 I went back to college, Los Angeles City College, on the GI Bill by working at night and going to school 3/4 time during the day. In the summer of 1970 I got married and started raising a family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day at school I noticed a lot of students milling around. Some students put on a mock play of students being killed at Kent State. From my second floor math class I could observe about a dozen people seeming to stir things up and manipulate the crowd. They were hard core and disciplined and reminded me of Che Cueverra. My military training in counter insurgency tactics helped me spot them. All of a sudden about five of them came rushing toward my building. I could hear them running up the stairs and they burst into my classroom. They were looking for someone that they thought was taking pictures. My teacher sat frozen behind his desk. I immediately walked to the front of the class and commanded them to leave telling them that what they were looking for wasn't here. To every one's surprise, they immediately left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On another day I was sitting in the Student Union trying to study. Two guys at a table next to mine were talking about stuff that I had never heard of. I thought to myself that in all of my 23 years or so I had never heard of this stuff. They were talking about a book called "None Dare Call It Conspiracy" written by Gary Allen as a Doctoral Thesis to prove that there was no conspiracy. During his research he had to change his mind because he had uncovered proof that there was a conspiracy to undermine our Constitutional Republic, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, our Free Market Economy, our Money and all that America stands for. I had a pretty developed sense of patriotism and this really stirred me up. I got the book and read it. My own research for speeches in Speech Class confirmed some things and uncovered others. I used articles from easily obtained weekly magazines such as Time, U.S. News and World Report, Life and others. In one speech I kept calling my fellow students "comrades" because as I explained at the end of the speech, I wanted them to start getting used to the term. It kept their attention during the speech. I found out some awful stuff about Fluoride and how they used it during the Watts Riots to calm the crowd. They put the Fluoride into the water system because Fluoride makes people passive, apathetic and willing to accept authority. Think about that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I received my Associate in Arts degree in Business in the Winter of 1971 and transferred to San Fernando Valley State College which later became California State University, Northridge before I graduated. We soon had a second child and it was rough. I was gone all of the time between work and school and then had heaps of homework on the weekend. My wife also worked. There was a lot of stress in the family and at school and at work. I kept thinking about my experiences, the assassination of Kennedy, my years in the Army, "None Dare Call It Conspiracy", problems at home, problems at school, problems at work; it all became an overwhelming burden to bear. I worked alone at night as a computer operator and one night in 1972 I collapsed to my knees. A friend in Junior High School had taught me the "Hail Mary" and I knew the "Our Father". These were the only prayers that I knew and just kept saying them over and over for a very long time. Eventually I just started talking to God and laying all of this stuff out to Him. It just didn't make sense. When people have a problem they look for and get a solution. For some reason no solutions were coming forth and it seemed to be getting worse. Finally I just told God that if there were anything that I could do to help Him solve the problems on earth then please show me what to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Immediately the room became brilliant with an indescribable Light unlike any light I had ever seen. Was it a hundred or a thousand times brighter than the well lit room that I worked in? There was no comparison to it. The Light was pure Love and brilliant as the sun but it did not hurt my eyes. I felt a sense of Peace come over me. I knew my prayer was heard and God was answering; He would show me where to go and what to do.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1990125730571226562-8129718745039820325?l=carltonnewman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/feeds/8129718745039820325/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1990125730571226562&amp;postID=8129718745039820325&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/8129718745039820325'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1990125730571226562/posts/default/8129718745039820325'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://carltonnewman.blogspot.com/2009/10/my-early-years-leading-up-to-1972-and.html' title='Chapter 1: My Encounter with the Light of God in 1972 and My Early Years Leading Up to It.'/><author><name>Carlton Newman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06059518479789952787</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jh_iFw6ZrTE/Stdfr3hJxLI/AAAAAAAAAAM/aUpSxdEFoNM/S220/CARLTON.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
