Angel of the Sun
Dart forth thy rays upon me!
Let them touch me;
Let them penetrate me!
Enter the holy temple within me
And give me the fire of Life!
Through thee is opened the flower
In the center of my body.

Happy New Year! This year I am going to do a long water fast.
Day# 1 of water fast. Snowed today no sungazing. After my long juice fast last year (70 days) I had a severe flareup of candida. It took me several months to get it under control. I spent most of last year reconstructing the seeker web page. I had to learn a couple of new programs, which I did with much difficulty. The reconstruction process went very slowly... I have just began putting the pages up on the internet this last month.
1-2-04
Day# 2 of water fast. Snowed again today. Every year while I'm doing my
long fast I reread, Life and Teaching of the Masters of the
Far East. I find them and Book I of the, Essene
Gospel of Peace, the most inspiring books I have ever read.
Today I casually opened book one of the, Masters,
and immediately saw the following quote, "Fear thoughts, pain thoughts,
and grief thoughts create the ugliness called old age. Joyous thoughts,
love thoughts, and ideal thoughts create the beauty called youth. Age
is but a shell, within which lies the gem of reality... the jewel of youth."
These beautiful words inspire me to look again at the
quality of my thinking...
and strengthens my desire to clear all negative thinking and mental clutter
from my mind. "I Am the Christ... I Am One with God." Help me
Lord to realize these words.

a child.

Day# 3 of water fast. Snowing. Feeling a bit rough today... body really
starting to cleanse.
1-4-04
Day# 4 of water fast. Feeling very rough, hard to get out of bed this
morning. Still getting up before 5 AM. The forth day of a fast the body
has switched completely into the elimination mode. The cleansing is in
my legs which are very sore, almost painful. I have worked several hours
on the computer today submitting my site to search engines. Working while
difficult, because my mind is not very clear, helps to focus on something
other than how bad I feel. Fasting is a self induced dis-ease of the body,
which is necessary to attain physical purity and well being.
1-5-04
Day# 5 of water fast. I drove Juanita to town (25mi OW) where we did the
laundry and shopping. Nice trip... roads were clear of snow. Felt pretty
well all day... a bit tired by the time we got home. We stayed up until
10:30.
1-6-04
Day# 6 of water fast. Raining. Slept very well last night after long day
yesterday. "What would You have me write today father?"
" I AM the Lord of Hosts my will is the same for all... to become
one with Me. I inspire each person with my will but few are awake enough
to grasp my message. I wait patiently until one steps forth in realization,
then I guide that person toward the goal as fast as they can comprehend
my teachings."
This message came to me two or three words at a time... so I never new
the content until the sentence was finished. After hearing the above message
from my Inner Voice my mind became cluttered with many voices clambering
for my attention, and I lost contact.
1-8-04
Day# 8 of water fast. Still very ill. Started feeling better toward evening.
Long water fasting is difficult... no taste, no texture, no chewing...
I gain some relief from the boredom of drinking just plain water by having
a glass of hot water in the morning... hot tea without the tea leaves...
and a glass or two of ice water in the afternoon and evening... lemonade
without the lemon and honey. Nice change.
1-9-04
Day# 9 of water fast. Went to town to do shopping... difficult day...
locked the keys in the car. Got home late... exhausted.
1-10-04
Day# 10 of water fast. No energy, laid around.
1-11-04
Day# 11 of water fast. Worked on computer today, broke long water fast
this evening

Inspiration about definition of spirituality
came today.
A small white pigeon came to live under our front porch roof today. At night he perches on the outside light beside the door. He doesn't seem to be afraid of people... must have been someone's pet. I throw grain out for him a couple times a day... he is free to come and go as he pleases.
"There is but One God, One Christ, One Union, One
man; One general household, all brothers and sisters, All One." One
God lives in the body of each individual human being that He created.
God gave each of us life... His life...
and He lives within each of us. We are all One Being... His Being. Our
Being...
body-mind-Soul was created by God... each of us grew from one cell which
contained the plan and spirit of our total being... and we are one with
our creator.
God lives right in our body with us... and we can talk to Him... and He
will teach us and guide us... in our search for truth. His Voice... our
Inner Voice... speaks to us... "Be still and know that I AM GOD."

Broke short fast... eating today.
The following excerpt is from, Life and Teaching of the Masters
of the Far East.
"...and Jesus began:
Let us consider David's prayer in the twenty-third psalm. 'The Lord is
my shepherd, I shall not want.' You will note this was not a prayer of
supplication. Do you not see that the real meaning implies that the One
Great Principle is leading us in the way we should go, or the Great Principle
goes before on our pathway, and thus makes the crooked places straight.
This Principle prepares our pathway as a shepherd does for his trusting
and dependent sheep; thus we can say, 'Where our Father leads I am unafraid.'
"The good shepherd knows where everything is located that is good
for his sheep; thus we can say, 'I shall not want.' With David we can
say, 'I cannot want,' for I AM is guarded against every ill."
"Every want of our physical nature is supplied. Not only shall we
be well fed in the green pastures but there will be an abundance to spare.
We rest in complete assurance that every desire is already fulfilled and
provided for. We can let go of every weary sense and say, with David,
'He maketh me to lie down in green pastures, he leadeth me beside still
waters.' The blue of their quiet depths gives great peace to our minds
and our troubled consciousness is stilled."
"With body and mind at rest, the heavenly inspiration of the most
high Principle floods our Souls with the pure light of life and power.
The light within glows with the glory of my Lord, the law wherein we are
all one. This radiant light of spirit renews our understanding; we stand
revealed to our true selves, so that we know ourselves as one with the
Infinite and each is sent from this Principle to manifest the perfection
of the Father Principle."
"In the quiet calm of our Souls, we are whole; thus, 'He restoreth
my Soul. Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil.' In the fullness of the bounty of this God Principle,
what can we fear? Here we rest our physical natures, God quiets our minds,
God rests our Souls, God illumines us for service; what outer tests could
cause us to fear that any evil thing could harm us?"
"God is in the midst of every one of us; to each
he is an ever-present help in time of trouble. In him we live and move
and have our being. We say with one voice, 'All is well.'
"Now each can say, 'God love leads me directly into the fold. I am
shown the right path and corrected when I stray from this fold. The power
of God love attracts me to my good; thus all that would harm is shut from
me.'
"Now, with David, each can say, 'For Thou art with me, thy rod and
Thy staff comfort me.'

Eating today.
A good thing to remember...
That compared to all
The knowledge there is...
We don’t know anything.

Fasting today... didn't make it, ate later in the day.
Keep your eyes open,
Your mouth closed,
Don't listen to anyone,
And do what your
Soul inspires you
to do.
Eating
Is
A
Learned
Habit.
"It is God's promise that prayer is always answered. 'I say onto you, ask and it is given unto you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it is opened unto you. For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and him that knocketh, it shall be opened." God's promise never fails!
Energy comes,
To us,
From the sun, [Body]
From the spoken word, [Mind]
and from the spirit. [Soul]
"For 30 years I have known the truth about who I
am and what I am. I have also known the truth about who everybody else
is as well. The truth is that "I am God, You are God," so get
used to it. Until people experience themselves as the God they truly are,
they will not able to comprehend the fact that "we really are all
One." From and of the same Source."
Wiley Brooks, Breatharian. (Breatharainism is
the belief that it is possible for people to sustain themselves on air,
water and sunlight.) [prana]
I have tried to, "read sign" on what the white
pegion coming to live at our house means. Pigeons are in the Dove family...
and white doves are a sign of peace. Juanita suggested that the bird may
have come here because it is so peaceful around our cabin. Maybe... I
don't know, all I'm sure of is... our white pigeon friend is certainly
a positive sign. We like him a lot... he is cooing now.

In today's darkness
Truth seems like
A radical idea
From another time.
No matter how dark
There is always light
No matter how bad
There is always good
No matter how wrong
There is forgiveness
No matter how harsh
There is always love.
No matter what...
Or how many
Mistakes or Errors
Your personal
Self makes...
You are always
the Christ.
Forgive yourself, and go on,
And realize the goal.
"God is is in the midst of you, child of the infinite,
immortal spirit. There is naught to make you tremble or despair, naught
to make you fear. From the bosom of the Father you came; the breath of
Almighty God created you a living Soul."
"Peace, health, love, joy and prosperity are here. These are the
fruits of the Spirit, the gifts of God. If we look unto God, no harm can
befall us, no evil can come nigh us. If we look to Him wholly, we are
healed of all infirmities, in the transcendent name of the Law.
"Living did not become a difficult problem until man disobeyed and refused to listen to the Inner Voice."
From, Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East
What the, Masters of the Far East, eat: "After the five were seated, the edibles began to arrive. It was a simple meal of vegetables, bread, fruit and nuts, but very palatable." [No meat.]

Snowing today. Juanita and I made a hurried trip to town and back before
the roads became snow packed.

"Change your thoughts
And...
You will change your
World."

"Heaven has been conceived rightly, [by man] but misplaced geographically."
Heaven means the inner peace and harmony created by man right here on
earth. God dwells within him, and not only within him, but in everything
about him, every rock, every tree, every plant, every flower and every
created thing. God is the very air he breaths, the water he drinks, the
money he spends. God is the substance of all things. When he [man] breaths,
he breaths God as much as he does air, when he partakes of food, he partakes
of God as much as he does of food."
God is all there is. From, Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East
1-29-04
"If the body is not obedient to Spirit, how can it express Spirit.
The conscious mind must seek and want Spirit in order to learn the power
of the Spirit. In this way the individual learns to know that Spirit is
the fulfillment of the need. In no way can it be given higher expression
than when it is allowed to fill the need of others. It is the flowing
forth to others that opens the storehouse of Spirit. It is the 'I will
to serve' that opens the unlimited storehouse of God to all, and brings
its realization to the Soul." Life and Teaching of the
Masters of the Far East
"To lift your eyes to heaven
When all men's eyes are on the ground,
Is not easy.
To worship at the feet of angels
When all men worship only fame and riches,
Is not easy.
But the most difficult of all
Is to think the thoughts of angels,
To speak the words of angels,
And to do as angels do."
Jesus, Essene Gospel of Peace

My long water fast this year was somewhat of a failure... just 11 days.
I had hoped to do 30 or 40 days. Some years it's harder to do a long water
fast than other years... some years I only last 3 or 4 days. I think the
reason I was unable to maintain my long fast was do the fact that last
year was very difficult for me... lots of frustration in learning new
computer programs to reconstruct my web page. I know that, no matter what
problems arise, they should not disturb my inner peace... but, I am not
able to do that yet.
I am on the path. "I am the Christ... I am one with God."
