Opening Pathways For Our World
Marsha Bogolin Loveland, Colorado
November 26, 2023 Temple of Light service
Steve Ventola — It's a pleasure to have it in my heart to introduce Marsha to begin our time; and I know with Marsha—we know her heart is with the Lord, and whatever she brings is always something tremendous and exquisite. So I look forward to sharing this time with all of us and with Marsha.
Marsha Bogolin — Thank you Steve, and thank you all. It was such a pleasure to watch you gathering; with some of you I haven't seen or heard your voices for a very long time, and I'm really touched that you felt to join this time. The sense of stars assembling in the heaven was vivid with me, so I feel us joining our hearts together, and I'd like to begin with a prayer.
Beloved LORD, the sense of your large heart is so vivid in this moment, to feel the sparkling presence, the steady shining of each one that has gathered, and to feel your love for all of us, and particularly at this very special time for our world. While the destruction that we see on our planet may loom large to us, at the same time we feel and see your presence embracing and stewarding it all. Each day we see so much evidence of your majestic artistry, whether it's in a glorious sunset that fills the sky with gold, or the way the sunlight sparkles on the pine needles, or a tiny little chipmunk. In so many ways you reveal your continuous presence. And so as we gather for the creative purpose of this hour, we remember we are your Body. You are in us, you are surrounding us, and all is well. Aumen.
Themes from our anniversary service with David and Robert have continued moving in me—probably in you too: the significance of the new cycle opening, the purification and trust to overcome the giants and enter the Promised Land. It occurred to me recently that very few on the planet have had as many decades as we have, consciously moving in trust. We've been blessed with a wealth of understanding and experience of the trustworthiness of the creative process. Yet in this cycle we may at times feel fear more vividly than ever. We can see fear intensifying in mankind. I sense we, who have trusted the most, are being given the opportunity to meet patterns of fear in victory, to open a pathway for others.
Last month in Anne's service and in Uranda's words, we touched the fact that the place we live is in our heart. There's been a lot, in recent days, to exercise our hearts, as turmoil in the world increases, probably impacting us each in different ways. One night, feeling this, the attunement current led me directly to a page in Volume Seventeen, Chapter 30 of the Third Sacred School, “Right Use of Fear” by Martin Cecil [January 22, 1978]. It addressed so perfectly what we're handling now in our world. I want to read some parts from it:
“We are indeed responsible, with those others who serve with us, for guiding the unfoldment which is taking place in the world and for offering a hand of control into the obstreperous human pattern.” (Isn't that a great description of our job! Back to Martin.) “We know how this is done. It is done in in our own momentary living. We find constantly that we have a relatedness to whatever it is that arises in the world, and we see this, if we are alert, in our own circumstances.” (So, in other words, our circumstances carry the same patterns that are challenging millions of people on the planet. Back to Martin.) “We are all acquainted with fear. As long as fear is present in the consciousness of mankind we need to have a connection with it. Fear is attached to many things, different things for different people. One of the fears that is most universal might be described as the fear of loss, precious things you are afraid of losing particularly. Being honest, you will recognize at least a certain continuing subjection to this sort of fear. An awareness of this fear is necessary to us because it is a fear that is universal in the world, the fear of insecurity, fear that one will somehow be left alone, the things upon which we depend will be taken away from us. Fears will arise, and we are quite content that they should arise, because this enables us in spiritual expression to use such fears to advantage. When the fears arise we look at them, we understand what they are and where they come from. Seeing them as evidence of an absence, we are in position to provide a presence, our own presence and the presence of our own spiritual expression. Perfect love casts out fear. It casts it out of the position of control. It does not eliminate it immediately.”
In another place, Martin says, “Spiritual expression eliminates subjection to fear. It doesn't eliminate fear immediately.” I want to interject here that I think it really helps to realize this, so that we don't judge ourselves. So, in time spiritual expression displaces the fear; it fills the void with our presence. Martin actually gives a poignant example of doing this in his own experience. He described the fear of “impending disaster” and the consistency that it required to deal with it. The example was the necessity of commuting between 100 Mile House in B.C. and Sunrise Ranch in Colorado. I'm glad to see there are those at 100 Mile House right now. So, back to Martin's words:
“For years and years we drove back and forth, back and forth, year after year, several times a year. At times it looked as though this was going to be our lot forever. As long as it was necessary I did it. You may find yourself in a situation which requires diligent application in something that you would not have particularly chosen to do. I don't know that I would have particularly chosen constantly to be driving back and forth between Sunrise Ranch and the Hundred, with sometimes a sense of impending disaster on the journey, never knowing quite what I was going to find when I arrived at the destination. But whatever is necessary, do it! Don't consult your feelings in the matter. Do it! That is spiritual expression, very straightforward. This had to be done, so I did it. The way we feel is quite a secondary thing insofar as spiritual expression is concerned. As I say, there may be an upwelling of fear and a "good" Emissary may say, "I shouldn't be afraid." Well why be afraid then? In other words why accept that which is felt as the controlling element in one's experience? Concern yourself with spiritual expression, in other words with the right handling of that upwelling: "Ah, here is something coming to me to be dealt with." It is said that a person is not brave simply because he has no fear. He is brave because he has fear and deals with it. We are honest enough and wise enough to acknowledge the fact of fear without being subject to it. It has been said many times that this is a vibrational ministry, a ministry of spiritual expression, where there is invisible work done, invisible mending in a way. We are concerned to become experts in this field, so we can handle whatever it is that arises.”

When I found this, it brought me a greater sense of ease. I hope it did you also. Martin speaks quite directly about the fear of loss of things precious to us. Much of the news these days carries huge waves of fear that “all is lost.” Probably all of us have had times when it looked like all was lost. But later we saw that the LORD was bringing a great blessing through the cycle, something important and maybe something that had seemed impossible before. Because we trusted and stayed centered, we were part of the essential channel for the blessing to emerge. That, I believe, is one of the vital things we're called to offer mankind as it goes through cycles where it looks like all is lost. The trust and faith of many will falter at such times. I've heard interviews on the news, maybe you have too, of people who have lost their homes in a massive flood or earthquake, and sometimes they say, “I've lost my faith in God.” I have great respect for people who are experiencing devastating loss. It is a huge challenge. And it's inspiring when it brings out their strength and service to others. But many fall into despair, and make things worse. Their reactions in fear stir destructive acts that interfere with what the LORD can bring.
There must be those who provide a channel for the integration that the LORD can bring through the disintegration—the birth of the Promised Land as the old passes away. Our circumstances put us in touch with challenges that many people around the world are experiencing. What comes to us is usually not as dramatic or graphic, but it carries the same feeling currents and thoughts. These provide contact points for us to open pathways into the new state for humanity. As Martin said, we need to become experts in this field of invisible work.
In October, Yujin offered a service in Korea [https://youtu.be/qrlckmSQjqE?si=B6-rwDKExVdJYnz_] that opened another angle on the creative handling of fear. He said, “Fear brings with it an identity that we often unconsciously accept.” Its message is something like, “I'm afraid. I can't do this. I will fail.” He described seven steps to handle fear creatively, and he suggested that we slow the process down so that the fear identity that we unconsciously accept can be met in true consciousness. I began experimenting with this. When I couldn't open my Microsoft account, I saw a subtle “I failed” identity. That is a very lightweight example. But I started noticing that whenever I felt resistance, there was a fear identity underneath it. I realized those fear identities are locked in the three-dimensional world. They may masquerade as something really valuable, even aspects of the true servant of the LORD, like “the hardworking one” or “the busy one.” But they are identities locked in time, space and achievement, often in lack too. So when I feel fear, slowing down gives me the space to become aware of the identity from which the fear is emanating. A common one for me is “the efficient one.” I call her “Ms. Efficiency” and now that I've become more aware, I hear her input and sometimes I follow it, but she doesn't get to decide anymore. So while we meet fear with spiritual expression, we can also deliberately let go of identities that trap us in the three-dimensional world. These identities want to do things the way they've always done them, but as things become more complex and uncertain, our old approaches often don't work anymore. Fear is connected to three-dimensional identities and three-dimensional habits. When I realized that, it stirred a lot more realizations.
I was pondering all this a few weeks ago, while I was swimming laps. A more vivid sense came of the new level this cycle is opening, that there's new experience to be known, both individually and collectively. I kept noticing that this new way of handling fear was expanding my sense of the seven-dimensional world. I had experienced that before in cycles of great challenge. I felt a connection in this with what our Master did in handling the crucifixion cycle. In that greatest of all challenges, He moved through, and opened, all seven dimensions for mankind. I began to sense there's something of that we can do in the smaller challenges we face, and that this is a significant part of our work.
Later this led me to one of my favorite services, “From Fall to Restoration—Cosmic Factors”, where Martin invites us to expand our consciousness to live in the seven-dimensional world. I want to read some parts from that. It also gives a higher perspective on what's happening in our world now. I excerpted it and will interject when I need to. Martin was describing the reasons why the fall could occur, because the Earth was moving through a vibrational cloud in the cosmos, and he says that man was warned about this. [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2020/04/coming-out-with-bang-from-from-martin.html]
“… In the outworking cycles a time would come when his mental comprehension of what was occurring would be obscured. His vision would be clouded because of the vibratory factors that were being brought to bear out of the cosmos. He was warned so that he wouldn't assume that he could see when he couldn't. All that was necessary was for him to remain properly centered, without judging and without imagining that he had vision when he didn't.
“But the solar system now has continued on in the circuit and is emerging out of that original vibrational influence which made it possible for the fall to take place. As there is an emergence out of this, the fallen state cannot continue to exist and is in the process of passing away. The furnace, we might say, is being heated seven times hotter than it was wont to be heated. In this intensification the self-active mind cannot continue to exist. Its reaction tends to produce a state of insanity, and we see this everywhere: people imagining that they are sane but behaving insanely. So we have a deplorable condition, but it is a process of cleaning up too. There is an emergence out of the vibrational cloud and into the light again, so that the restoration must take place, simply because the fallen state can no longer exist. We are rapidly moving to this point. There is an intensification. If we do not associate ourselves with the new state we experience destruction.
“In this fallen state we have been living in a three-dimensional world—actually for most it has been less than three dimensions—when the fact of the matter is that it is a seven-dimensional world. Unless we are capable of surviving in a seven-dimensional world we cannot survive. It is no longer possible to continue to exist merely in a three-dimensional world. We must come out into a seven-dimensional world, and we are in the process of coming out with a bang. There is an exponential curve in this regard. This impetus which is being experienced by everyone, a very intense compulsion increasing, is a destructive thing to those who are attempting to continue to exist in a three-dimensional world. We see this attempt being made valiantly all around us. The endeavor is to keep things going in the world as it has been known.”
I want to link what Martin is saying here with something that many of you on line probably heard Bill Isaacs say earlier this month. Bill said, “Approaches that used to work at all kinds of levels—in institutions, in governments, in religious contexts, and personally—no longer do.” So, Martin goes on to describe that most of man’s approaches are based in precedents out of the past. Then he says:
“That was possible for a while, while we lived in the cloud and were able to exist in this three-dimensional state. But there are no precedents, within the memory of man at least, with respect to a seven-dimensional state, so he is entirely at sea. However there is this more or less desperate endeavor to maintain the three-dimensional world with which man is familiar—actually in the long run an impossible task, because we are moving out of an old state into a new one, whether we like it or not. We are being borne out of it on a space vehicle.” (He is referring to our planet.) “So the new is coming, a state in which the self-activity of the human mind is impossible. Therefore if one insists upon maintaining a self-active mind there is a crunch coming; there is a stone wall beyond which the self-active mind cannot pass. So it behooves us, surely, to permit the self-activity of the mind to pass away so that we have a different state of consciousness which is capable of continuing to exist in the new vibrational condition. This intensification, this hotting up, this increasing impetus, is driving some crazy and allowing for an expansion of consciousness and understanding on the part of others.” (I’ll summarize what he said on that: Which of those it is, crazy or expanded consciousness, depends on a person’s actual experience, not beliefs. Interesting point! So, back to Martin:
“The requirement is absolute honesty, because there is no means of remaining dishonest and experiencing the new state. We are emerging out of that three-dimensional condition into a seven-dimensional condition, and the intensification of things, the building up of the pressure, the igniting of the explosive, is what actually propels the movement into the new state.”
So all this intensifying pressure and turmoil is actually propelling us into the new state. Isn't that a creative perspective? But to experience the new state, the seven-dimensional world, we have to let the self-activity of the mind pass away. As Martin said, “The self-active mind cannot continue to exist. Its reaction tends to produce a state of insanity.” I think that is so much more obvious now than it was in 1970 when he spoke this. “Self-activity” is a really good description of the mind determining the way versus yielding to heaven's impulse.
In the beginning I mentioned that very few on the planet have had as many decades as we have, consciously moving in trust. That's true also with letting the self-active mind pass away. We'd probably be considered experts in this by most people, if they understood enough to recognize it. But this culminating cycle is calling for new levels of experience. In the anniversary service, David spoke about the increasing purification as we approach the Fourth Day. I'm finding that new ways of handling fear and letting go of three-dimensional identities and habits is part of this purification. I've enjoyed Andrew Shier's words on a couple of occasions, when he's spoken about the compulsion he's felt to change the way he does things. He gave a simple example of the way he shaves, but I assume he meant more than that. He said that it can be uncomfortable at times. That's similar to my experience.
We mastered these things years ago at one level, but there are new levels opening and they are calling us higher. It takes courage, daring to move through the discomfort, but that's how we overcome the giants of this era. Every challenge that comes is an opportunity to overcome our giants and enter the Promised Land, the experience of living in the seven-dimensional world. As we do that, we are bringing the seven-dimensional world within range of mankind's consciousness. We are opening paths for others who are drawn to it by their own inner compulsion.
The increasing fear on our planet is increasing the pressure to move into the seven-dimensional world. It's bringing pressure for the mind to yield to spirit at new levels. One aspect of that I've noticed, both in my own experience and in the world, is the mind's habit to want to see the whole path before it will trust it. It goes something like this, “Show me how all this will work and if I think it's possible, then I will trust it.” But that's a trap; it is exactly what we have to let go of, the mind in the driver's seat. There really is important work for the mind to do, to help, to perceive, but not to direct. What the mind can see is the next step, not the whole path. If we take that step in trust then the next step is shown. So we move step-by-step.
Martin indicated that we're coming to a point where no approach will work until the mind yields to spirit. We have many events in the world these days that are stirring fear—wars, earthquakes, climate change that's bringing massive flooding, extreme drought, and mass migration. Because the mind’s solutions to these are not really working, that produces even more fear. But all this can actually help us make the changes to live in the seven-dimensional world. I think a significant part of our work is to pioneer this in our own circumstances, so that we open the way for others. For example, we're no longer relying only on the three-dimensional world for solutions. We sense, and draw upon, invisible higher dimensions for guidance. In Anne's service last month, she spoke about “unseen hands in the invisible planes” that are playing their part in this special time on the planet. I think many of us sense that the veil is thinning, and that promptings from this range are becoming more noticeable. But if we're wedded to old ways of seeing and doing things, there's no space to sense those promptings. I'm finding that it takes a willingness to explore, and flexibility, to live in the seven-dimensional world. As we do, we develop new habits and new ranges of pneumaplasm that deepen our experience of it. Our practice of this in our momentary living, I think, is preparing us for times when it will be even more vital that our minds yield to spirit.
I often think about Moses at the Red Sea. He developed this yielding, this deep attunement, that allowed him to sense Heaven's way in spite of the appearance that there was no way through that Red Sea. I'm already experiencing times when it looks like there's no way through. I rather suspect you are too. And I think there are going to be a lot more of those so it's good practice for us. Fortunately, entering the Promised Land in this era does not require that much physically; it doesn't require that much physical stamina. That's good to know at our age. In essence, what it requires is bringing the Spirit of Victory into each circumstance. It is the spirit in which we meet whatever comes that is the victory, not the appearance; and when that is our approach the LORD shows the way through.
There are many aspects to embody of living in the seven-dimensional world. Today I've focused on some things we can do particularly in our individual living. But I am passionate about what we can do collectively. When we gather together in true purpose, it expands our experience of the seven-dimensional world. I want to share an example of that. A small group of us have been meeting by Zoom about once a month. Recently one of the group spontaneously invited us to meet, to speak the Word together in the midst of the fire and chaos in the world. I knew some of the challenges that each one was facing, and I was so heartened to hear how they're bringing victory into these. It was very clear that anyone's victory is a victory for everyone. One in the group described what we shared together this way: “We spoke the Word together, amidst the mounting destruction in our world, and experienced it opening a path for victory, not only in us but through us, for all with willing hearts in the world.” Yes! Amidst the mounting destruction, it's important that we never lose sight of what Heaven is birthing through it, because we are vital channels for this birth, the birth of the consciousness and experience of living in the seven-dimensional world.
Some of what I've shared may seem a bit complex, so I want to close with a very simple mantra I made to help me open new pathways in my daily life: “I love you, LORD. I trust and follow your impulse, and rest in that.” I look forward now to hearing from you and expanding on whatever this has stirred in you.

Christina Pivarnik — Marsha, I so deeply appreciate your words and your consideration this morning about fear, something we all have had working in our ourselves as as we individually address fear. I want to briefly recount a situation that happened two weeks today. My husband who had emergency surgery was in the ICU. We were visiting when he said, “I need to lie down for a moment” and then fell over with his mouth open, his eyes wide open and stopped breathing. Oviously there was an instant sense of fear, but I ran to the door, called for help and a flood of doctors and nurses came in. I retreated to the back corner and knew the presence of many angels in that room, knew the presence of the Lord there, and knew that it was not his time to go, even though the doctors were saying, “The pulse is low, the pulse is low.” There was a lot of intensity! The whole thing happened in about a minute. And he obviously came through fine. But I'll tell you, the experience you mentioned earlier, the fear of loss was there in my human sense but it was diminished by the Angelic presence that encompassed this room; in fact I think it encompassed the entire hospital. It was very lifechanging. I think any of us having a dramatic moment like this know what is the truth in that moment, and I give thanks that we have these opportunities to practice. It's our opportunity to rise up in ourselves, to let this fear evaporate because we are present, and we know what's happening. In that one minute I knew that all was well. We have fear come up in small ways and yet it's still an opportunity to address whatever that is and let it go. I give great thanks for this consideration this morning because there is much for us to do, and we are still just at the beginning of so much that is for us to do.
PenDell Pittman — I've seen the seven-dimensional world. I found that to be there, my experience was to be at we've called the crossover point, the point with position but no magnitude. Why no magnitude? Because the magnitude is the position. So be steady, hold the position, fear not, and radiate from that point where heaven and earth are one. Then, how the power can move through this little pin prick! It is in this crossover point that I, you, and everyone can hold it steady. That's the present moment. No foreboding for the future; no regret of past. The present moment is there when we can radiate. So, when you watch the news and we have reactions, radiate to that. I radiate. What we do in every moment is powerful, no doubt about it. I'm still here, you're still here. Why? We have a place to be here, projected into this three-dimensional world to let it ascend. Life is full then. Let it be whatever makes consciousness ascend in place here. What else have we got? I don't have anything else. My schedule is clear, yours is too.
Judith Coover — I was thinking, Marsha, that we are in a process of birth and in that process there's fear. I don't think there's any woman who's ever gone through the birth process that didn't have fear that came up. But that is met with the beauty of the birth itself. I don't think we can move through any process that is deeply meaningful and radiating without a little bit of fear of the unknown—which is all it is, because we don't know! But in that process of birth there is a work that needs to be done, and it is work—that's why they call the birth process “labor”. We labor in the moment to release, to radiate, to give forth the newborn, to give forth the open space that makes it possible to move into this process step by step. Absolutely magnificent.
Leo Palombo — I appreciate how you brought in this element of birth which is so central to what we're experiencing as the third-dimensional paradigm, that the polarity with fear is giving way to the emergence of what's coming. Indeed fear is always, at this level anyway, part of the dance that we are doing with love. It is in polarity with love at this level, always present, that gives us an opportunity to experience the exquisite nature of the dance with the Divine. On either side of the coin of “exquisite” is pain or ecstasy, and always there's this choice given to us at this level: to choose fear or love. Fear is only the absence of love, so really there is nothing there yet. At this level of our incarnation we are given the opportunity to dance with that, and that dance in each moment is exquisite.
Robert Merriman — Thank you Marsha for your words of deep wisdom and tonal beauty. It felt like you were speaking in many tongues. There was the line of thought, and then there were the overtones when I felt I heard voices, one of which was, “Don't be afraid” And I could hear another voice asking, “Well then, who do I be?” And the answer was “Be me, be me”—the angelic one who participates competently in the dance of allowing. And as you pointed out Marsha, sometimes, over a period of time, that allows that which comes in the feeling realm, fear or whatever, to be transformed. As we relinquish the idea of the one who “be's-afraid” to the one who is, then the power of seven-dimensional living is accessed. And that which needs to come out of the fog of these 20,000 tragic years can do so with as little fanfare as possible, into the place of wholesome living, of beauty, of majesty, and of grace. Thank you so much for focusing this time.
Davina Misroch — Marsha, I want to express my deep gratitude! It's a cornucopia that you have presented us with, of beautiful elements of the truth. It sounds like a tall order but the only thing that's tall about it is seven dimensions instead of three! I loved how entering the Promised Land is in fact coming into the seven-dimensional expression or living of our being. That is the Promised Land. It's not a place we go to; it's a state of being. I think you have laid out the remarkable menu of possibilities for us. I am extremely grateful to David and Anne who run these Temple of Light sessions and produce the transcripts that allow us to review it until we can share the insights, and work together as a collective on the same elements that have come into your understanding. I'd like to finish by saying how much I appreciate your devotional prayer at the beginning and mostly your Mantra at the end, and in that I share it with you.
Steve Ventola — I appreciate the simplicity of how you ended, and I love your emphasis on seeing fear as a push rather than dragging us down, and spiritual expression fills that in. If you think about self-activity versus integrated-activity, that really we’re pushed to find our integrated activity together. That’s spiritual expression, and that’s what allows that pull, and that drag of shame of having fear to be shifted, to play our part. When we're self-active we're in a disconnected state and that brings fear and shame. But how we handle the feeling of fear that we feel is allowing that to push us to greater integrated activity together.
Laura Fisher — I thank you very much for your most beautiful offering. There is the living Word coming forth in these moments. It is only within the living Word that fear finds its proper place and the human mind will never figure that out. I so appreciate the true living everyone has done. It is that which carries the Word of God, and that is what soothes the earth, and raises us to other dimensions where there is no fear. We move together or we don't move and here we are together. There is only one place large enough to hold all of us that's in the living Word.
Tony Palombo — I would like to add something here: there is a physiological reason for the experience of fear. It's a misinterpretation on our part most of the time because we misinterpret the Spirit of the Single Eye coming into the adrenal glands and saying, “Get to work, do something.” I think this is the power—we receive power through these wonderful hormones: the Spirit of the Single Eye and the mind misinterprets it as being “Well there's power here, I'm not sure I can handle it.” Well yes, as long as we have a single eye and that single eye is focused in the One. One of the greatest fears I used to have is that I would lose my connection with the One Within. That never has happened. All I have to do is choose to be connected to remember, to remember and keep remembering, and sooner or later it becomes just natural. Very beautiful Marsha.
Deborah Starrs — It's thrilling to see the Lord at work in one's own personal life and circumstance, and very reassuring. I'm finding delight in seeing people I don't know, and people I do know, coming into the light. “Into the light.” That phrase has popped up a number of times in the last week for me. It is evidence of the power working through us—that point you made Marsha: as we do this it provides an avenue for the greater population to ascend in consciousness. It's thrilling to see that happening with great alacrity in these days, reverberations of phrases that are so familiar to us, found in alternative media mostly. I've given up watching television at all except to maybe see what twist they're putting on it, because it can't last and it doesn't last. Companies are going bankrupt, people are resigning from positions—more and more evidence of the outworking. All things will come into the light of the truth of love before it's all over, and every man woman and child will have the opportunity to choose. The soap is going up or down, and we know it's going up, because we have that experience and we see it in others. The other thought that comes to mind frequently for me is that training works. We've had years and years of training and yes, we can fine-tune that and there's always more in the expansion, but training works and it's good to know that we can trust it.
Mary Janak — I would like to give thanks to our great Lord of Truth. Marsha you and others have expressed the greatness and the wisdom of our Lord of Truth and what a joy it must be in heaven for us to be here now, speaking our living Word. Many of you have spoken for me in what I was thinking of. One aspect I'd briefly mention. I have been having the experience of being involved in situations where I'm a key player and I am encountering other peoples' fear and their actions and thoughts that in a way directly affect me. So that is a very creative experience, not only within me, to transform or see those feelings of fear and other emotions in their proper perspective and in place, and then also recognizing what's coming up in other people who are close to me. The deepest answer that comes is patience, wisdom, and to wait upon the Lord to reveal the next step. So this is really a beautiful hour and I again give great thanks to each one. I recognize you and honor you as an aspect of Truth, and I give great thanks to our Lord of Truth and our Lord of Love
Millicent Holliday — Marsha, you were saying how the mind tends to want to leap ahead and have it all figured out beforehand; and I thinking that we cannot even imagine a seven-dimensional world. I was thinking of that phrase the Master spoke “Eye hath not seen nor ear heard” the things that I have prepared for you. So we can rest in the fact that we are going from glory to glory. Knowing the absoluteness of that displaces all fear. I have so appreciated the opportunity to share this hour and extend our radiant blessing into the world.
Pamela Gray — Marsha, I would add my thanksgiving too for this vibration of peace that has been extended by reason of this agreement. And I thank you for your emphasis on the spirit of victory. That's what stood out to me, dealing with these situations on the earth, knowing what we have inherited through the ages, the cycles of the great ones. That is a gift to us today. The victory has been established by the Master. Others failed, and He needed to ascend, and the Victory continued in various ones, and we have this great gift today, to live in the spirit of Victory. Oh how good to have this time of agreement, to let that echo through our vibration into the world.
David Barnes — I would express my appreciation for this period of prayer, and particularly for your speaking Marsha—a prayerful time with you in a secret, sacred place, apart from the noise and the affairs of the world. There are times in my life where I feel like I'm standing in front of a firing squad assembled by the accuser, knowing in those few moments that I have an opportunity to release something—and I have imagined the actuality of that happening for various men and women down through history who have stood for something real and true, and knew that they were facing their last moments—but metaphorically, in my life when those feelings arise I know that the only thing that opens the way is the expression, “I love you, LORD.” And everything changes immediately; it doesn't take any time. There may be an unfolding of understanding that occurs after immediately opening from uncertainty, fear, accusation. But in that moment of, “I love you, LORD” it is moving from fear to love immediately, and it transforms everything. And it brings light into my mind—my mind isn't figuring out anything. The spirit moving by reason of opening to “I love you, LORD” allows the transmission from On High to come through the heart. My heart and my mind become illuminated with an understanding that wasn't there just a few seconds before, and it continues to flow out as I hold true to the spirit of, “I love you, LORD.” And this is what you brought and what we shared this morning, this prayerful Word, “I love you, LORD.” This allows Divine understanding to flow into the heart and transform the heart, flow into the mind and transform the mind, and move the body wherever it needs to go and do whatever it needs to do. This is a rich and precious time. Thank you for leading us in this way.
Marsha Bogolin — Thank you all, fellow companions in bringing the experience of the seven-dimensional world into our consciousness. You know, I've been living these themes for at least two months, and while it may seem a bit complex, actually the squirrels, the birds, the rabbits, the moose, they're all living in the seven-dimensional world. It's just the self-activity of the human mind that has to pass away, so that we may also live in the seven-dimensional world. I was glad that somebody spoke about more people coming into the light. I have felt many times as I see what people are going through, how can I help? What we can do in our own experience of releasing attachment to that which traps us in only three dimensions, is one way we can help. Of course, there are many things we can do. But I think there are very few on the planet who are trained enough to recognize that we have a vital role to play in the birth of the experience and consciousness of living in the seven-dimensional world. It may sound like a tall order, but Martin invited it fifty-three years ago. So I think it's a matter of letting go of that which is in the way of it. I am so delighted in what we can do together of this as well. Thank you. Over to you, Steve.
Steve Ventola — Thank you Marsha—beautiful. There's lots we can continue to feel in our hearts and open our minds to. If I may read something that really struck me this past week, from Uranda: “As we have now entered this Age, the destructive results of the control of the human mind will shortly be removed from the face of the earth and the control of all manifestations on earth will be centered in the God Beings who will fully establish the Perfect State of the Garden of Eden for all who respond in the Christ Love enough to allow them to survive this period of World Transition.” It's in our hands to allow for those who are looking to respond and have a place of safety, the opening of those pathways, as you were saying Marsha, to allow for the sense of safety and transition to be experienced. Let's continue opening up these pathways. Our next Temple service will be on December 24th, and Robert Merriman will focus our time on the morning of Christmas Eve.
