Choose This Day Whom You Will Serve

Perversion of the Mother Light in the misuse of the science of sound in the houses of God.

September 17, 2003

As a member of the Summit Lighthouse for 20 years – the last Ascended Master sponsored organization – and a communicant of Church Universal and Triumphant, I experienced some of the highest standards of God Being on the planet. To date, I have heard and received copies of many complaints from past and present Keepers of the Flame, who were shocked at the July 4th 2003 Opus V (a Church sanctioned music group) display on the high altar in King Arthur's Court of the Summit Lighthouse, where the Beatles and other rock music were played.

The culture in Church Universal and Triumphant, while Elizabeth (Mother, as she was affectionately called) was an active messenger, was that rock music is a destructive force on this planet and has been re-released in this age as a test to humankind. During the Golden Age of Atlantis, rock music was, in part, responsible for the fall of that great Golden Age civilization, as part of the misuse of the Mother Light that brought her down.

These perpetuators of discordant music were held back from reembodying until this day and age, until after the music of the spheres would be released during the classical music era. The divine music was released through embodied angels, who brought into the physical realm such music as would inspire mankind to turn to the raising of the Mother Light.

We feel the culture, beauty and upliftment from the heavenly realms when listening to such works as Handel's Messiah, Beethoven's Nine Symphonies, Strauss waltzes, Vivaldi's Four Seasons and Wagner's magnificent operas such as Lohengrin. Thus mankind have been given a co-measurement to know the music of the spheres, that they may make a better choice this time around.

So it came to some members of the prior sponsored Ascended Master activity, that after the Messenger's retirement, the Church leadership would defend and endorse rock music as nothing offensive to play in the vicinity of the High Altar, where Ascended Master dictations and releases of Light had occurred. I have also seen the response back from Church leadership and their denial of any wrongdoing. I find it no little coincidence that I was sent this past July to witness a similar experience at a local church of God playing rock music for entertainment and spiritual purposes.

The Gospel Church
To recap my experience, we were invited to a church celebration in our local area, a Baptist/Gospel church. The church had been burned down four times in this century and the last rebuilding had joined two church denominations together, a Gospel church and a Baptist church. The people seemed to be friendly and loving. It was their 200-year celebration and they were inviting local people to a barbecue and service.

So we went to the celebration and witnessed some beautiful displays by children and adults during the beginning of the service. You could feel the heart chakras of people opening as the children and music helped to inspire us into love for God and each other. We all took a moment and introduced ourselves to the people around us, shaking hands and smiling and praying for one another – as prompted by the minister – which opened our heart chakras more.

Then the music started onstage. A large screen at the place where the altar would be was displaying the words – I might add beautiful words – in verses that opened your heart chakra all the more. The music was nice, and the words were inspiring. Then the next piece introduced a beat, and there was a lot of clapping and swaying of bodies. The minister forewarned us that you might witness people jumping and arms raised above their heads swaying and gyrating to the music, but that was just the flow of the Holy Spirit and everything in this House of God was holy and okay. It immediately came into my mind these words,"That's what you think." And prophetically, it was proven that what he said was holy, was the most unholy service I had ever experienced in my life. I witnessed the entities and demons clamoring to take up the light of these lightbearers as they sent out their joy and voice in songs. I thought the purpose was to sing songs of praise and thanksgiving to God, but it seemed to be more entertainment than for a holy purpose.

It seemed that this Gospel service was comprised mainly of singing and dancing. The music progressed slowly, each song becoming more of the heavier beat, until I was so shocked, in this open display of feeding the hordes of darkness gathered, that I walked out.

I had never been to a gospel church before. My upbringing was Episcopalian and my searching took me only as far out from traditional to the Unity Church, until I found the Summit Lighthouse, and Church Universal and Triumphant. It was there that I knew I was home, and I no longer participated in any other churches. It was from this church of God, I discovered many teachings on rock music, jazz and every music in between.

Lord Shiva - There is No Excuse
There is no excuse in Heaven for playing anything that resembles the beat of the perversion of death and Hell. As Beloved Shiva stated in his 1978 dictation1 that there is nothing, and he repeated it again, nothing whatsoever constructive in any form of jazz. And he stated that he was saying this unequivocally.

No matter how many letters the Church leadership has written or would write refuting their actions, as have the Church presidents, in their August 15th rebuttal. I challenge Church leadership, that they have no right to defend their ungodly deeds by bringing Mother into the picture to defend them. As the representatives of the highest standard of teachings on this planet, they quote what Mother would have felt:

"Mother would absolutely loved the show and would have been in the front rows cheering us on. A reverend for the Church also loved it and also assured one Keeper of the Flame that Mark Prophet would have loved the show."

I have to challenge that statement with the fire of my heart and being for God, Mother and Mark Prophet, that they have no right to back their inappropriate entertainment actions with the Messengers endorsement when they are not here to state what they believe. I feel it necessary to speak out in Mother's own behalf, as one with the mantle of Mother for the Great White Brotherhood, I refute that the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood would condone the action of this entertainment on the anniversary of the founding of this nation, where the Mother of the Flame always promoting the singing and playing of traditional patriotic songs and hymns—of which the Opus V played only one.

This is the action of the infiltration of the Indian Black Brotherhood into the culture of the Mother established by the Great White Brotherhood through their Messengers for the Summit Lighthouse and Church Universal and Triumphant. The moment the Messengers are gone, the anti-Mother forces begin their infiltration in the very place of the anchoring of the Mother Light. This is what I expose and challenge here through this article on the perversions of the Mother through rock music.

Patriot Songs for upliftment
In a 1969 dictation 2, the Goddess of Liberty tells us that the flame of patriotism in past decades made the hearts of the people to beat faster as they listened to the sounds of martial music and patriotic songs. These songs have always been a stimulus toward decency, order and charity. And she says it is easy to see that the legacy of virtue, preserved by God within this great nation for the whole world, has become the target of those enemies of righteousness who would extinguish the eternal flame.

One letter of complaint stated that there was only one true patriotic song played from the songbook the evening of July 4, 2003. In the dozen Fourth of July conferences I have attended, patriotic songs were the heart of the singing. During those songs, I laughed and I smiled and true tears of bittersweet joy were shed, that we had a nation that was founded under God and that we needed to defend her. And we were inspired for the whole of the conference to devote with heartfelt gratitude, our decrees and prayers for the righting of the wrongs that were brought to our attention by Mother and the Ascended Hosts.

Shiva goes on to say in his dictation that the chelas have not resisted the immense magnetism of these fallen ones who are pulling them down by their spiral of their rhythm, and effecting an entire civilization. He asks us should he stand for that infamy that allows what we consider to be a harmless pastime to be played after the Elohim have cleansed our temples again and again?

And as I write this, Shiva tells me that there is no God in Heaven that will allow any form of jazz or rock music into His temples.

Let me remind you of what Mother herself tells us in her 1978 lecture, "The Science of Rhythm for the Mastery of the Sacred Energies of Life: Uses and Misuses of the Word in the Music of East and West." She said that there is a milking of the life force through listening to rock music and jazz. She said that the desire of the black magicians was to destroy the Mother Light at the base of the temple through the misuse of the Mother rhythm. Through this misuse you can collapse the entire temple of an embodying soul, which is the temple of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The Church manager, in her August 1, 2003 rebuttal to written complaints about the concert, stated:

"Mother liked to dance. She learned the foxtrot, swing, salsa and other ballroom dances as well as the waltz and taught them to her chelas because she was evolving also in her awareness of how energy changes. She was not fanatical. She moved with the Holy Spirit and by her love, she changed water into wine. She also was evolving in her choice of colors and what was appropriate to wear, but that is another discussion."

and

"Mother also had a favorite Beatles' song that she liked to listen to at her home."

Again, I must challenge using Mother's name and reference to her likes or her dislikes as a green light to do whatever they deem this Opus V should sing and do in the Holy place of our God, our outer Temple that is the outer church.

Saint Germain states in a dictation 3 given in 1970 that the destructive energies which came through the Beatles, and entered the subconscious minds of the youth, reveal their true colors and Satanic origins. He said these unholy emanations have drawn many young souls into the mistaken belief that the taking of drugs, the practice of witchcraft, and illicit sex can give them freedom from all imposed limitations. And, Instead, these indulgences have held them in bondage to the legions of darkness.

He advises all to eschew the evil and darkness that enter the forcefield of the four lower bodies, when the attention is placed on the jangle of modern jazz. He tells us all who would truly be alchemists of the Spirit should seek out the classical music of the world's greatest composers. And we know who they are: Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, Haydn, Handel, Wagner, Liszt, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Mahler – to name a few. These, he says, and many others, have been commissioned by the Brotherhood to bring forth the music of the spheres.

The Beatles and a Test
We only have it on hearsay from the Church manager that Mother listened to the Beatles music in her home. (Please note, I am not accusing her of lying.) But have you considered that from her standpoint, if this was true, what she saw as endorsement to listen to certain of the Beatles' songs, might have been that she was the unknowing participant in a test of her soul? The test being, would she object or question Mother why she was playing this music we were taught by Saint Germain – and even Mother herself – as ungodly? I quote from her letter* herself:

"I take my direction and training from Mother. She is the embodiment of progressive revelation because she is the Guru. She would say one thing one day and the opposite the next day in order to confound the carnal minds of the rote chelas that think if they only do everything 'right,' they will get to heaven."

Oh, how true this statements is! Now if one applies it to certain circumstances to back up their agenda, we see a misuse of the mantle of Guru. It is taken out of context to support an agenda of "why" someone is doing what they are doing. I see this backing by the present day leadership's actions time and time again. "Mother said this" and "Mother did that" and they use Mother's actions to thwart those they see as disobeying the laws of the church to back up their own agendas and power plays and then they use Mother to back their own disobedience to the laws of God given to us through the hosts of the Lord.

Everything Mother said and did could be construed as a test. And if she played music in front of this Church manager to test her can she, or we, know the real meaning of Mother's actions? After all, she was being trained by Mother as she so readily states in her same letter:

"I have been trained by Mother and I strive to embody all that she taught me, as we all do."

And ;

" ... and I have been trained by El Morya and Saint Germain through the Messenger to be singers worthy to sing on the altar and to express our particular talents through this avenue as well as other avenues. No one knows the inner or outer training we have received or the personal instruction from Mother as to what is appropriate to raise the light."

But just imagine for a moment that Mother was testing you in playing a Beatle's song and you did not stand up in your Christhood and state the question that must have been in your mind, "Why are you playing that, Mother?"

Release of Light

The letter goes on to say:

"Many, if not all of the people in the Court were uplifted and joyous. They laughed and sometimes had tears in their eyes from the touching moments that meant something to them."

And I can understand that, as I witnessed the same display in the Gospel church as they sang their songs, with smiles on their faces as the light from their chakras was being milked. So their smiles and joy and happiness were possibly caused by the flow of Light released.

Have we been told before what really happens when you listen to rock music and jazz? For those members of Church Universal - yes. When the music hits our chakras it drives the light down into the base chakra, or out the corresponding chakra that is affected. In the process of being forced out of the chakra, euphoria is experienced. You feel great! Then you go home and feel tired, empty and let down. But later you feel you need to regain this euphoria again, and you remember the music that had made you feel so good before.

So you want to go back and reexperience that happy feeling again. And you go back the next Sunday to that beloved church where everyone is happy and so much love is expressed, and you sing songs and the whole cycle starts again. We saw this in the Gospel church. These people had been duped by the their own egos into thinking they were being spiritual in singing these songs and words of praise to God. But their 'good feeling' could be attributed to the loss of light, and in reality was being used to further sustain the forces of darkness.

Over the last thirty years in the Summit Lighthouse, we had no less than three major lectures on rock music and sound. Sean Prophet took us through over two hours of excerpts and teachings on some of the most horrendous music on the planet, during the summer conference of 1987. You may read his lecture in the online Pearls of Wisdom on the church website.

Here is a quote from a teen describing her experience of what going to a rock concert does for her:

"It's better than drugs and alcohol and I don't have a hangover in the morning....Some bands are so good they'll just tear you apart. I'm not saying every band is good enough to do this. But my favorites, they can obliterate me. I feel like there's nothing left anywhere after I've been there. It's like, am I there or am I in Ohio? It's awesome. Anything that can blow you from D.C. to Ohio is pretty powerful."

Sean tells us that what she is expressing is the life-force going out of her and she can't help herself, she must come back for more, like a heroin addict. What is happening is the chakras are being bled of their light and then deflate. And you feel depressed afterward. Then you desire more stimuli to counteract the depression. The demons and entities all benefit from this light released. Now imagine you are in a holy service of God where many lightbearers are gathered, as I witnessed in the Gospel church.

And from the mouth of an instrument of the Devil himself, we hear these remarks, as Kim and I were driving back from Montana. We tune into a radio advertisement of an upcoming rock group's concert. The individual rock star was retelling his experience being on stage and playing concerts. He said "I become someone else." And went on to say that he doesn't necessarily like this someone else, but he has learned to live with it.

Lyrics and the Beat
In one of the complaint letters sent to church officials that evoked this official letter from the Presidents and Church Manager, they state some of the songs had lyrics talking about gambling and drinking. One of the letters states that there was unmistakable evidence of a syncopated beat with its 2/4 time on almost every song. In another letter, by a member of the church who composes orchestral music, he states he was highly disturbed by the events of July 4th where Opus V decided to use repertoire that was more in keeping with the jagged rhythms and syncopated beat of modern jazz, and even more so because this travesty was performed on the high altar. He said that although some may cry foul and cite fanaticism regarding the dangers of jazz, he begs to differ.

I quote from the Church Manager's letter:

"There was no rock beat in this rendition of the song, which Mother has explained is the major problem with rock music, i.e., the syncopated rock beat. The lyrics are innocuous."

Sean tells us in his 1987 expose that the public are told by reputable media people that lyrics don't mean anything, and we should not be concerned with them. But the Satanists think otherwise. Mother then states that some of these songs are decrees and they are Satanic decrees. She states that Mark had told her there were astral decree groups who decree against the Light and Lightbearers. So we see that the youth are taught to decree against the Light and join forces with the astral energies by singing these songs.

I understand that these astral decrees are the extreme of the scope of the music from hell. But in the world of form there is always a beginning to the slide into the lie. And the beginning for the Gospel church in Catskill, New York might have started out as innocuous as these few songs sung by the Opus V, whose members consists of both the Church manager and her husband, with the Church manager as the the only Keeper of the Flame of Church Universal in the group. Her husband left the teachings years back. The others of Opus V are not Keepers, nor are they affiliated with the Church. In the past Opus V has played across the country, including many nightclubs.

Learn From the Past
I remind you of the statement for those who have not learned from the past, they are doomed to relive it.

From Mother's teachings from the Akashic records, we learn that in the ancient civilization of Lemuria there were priests and priestesses who tended the flame on the altars. They knew the sacred science of sound and of rhythm. There were 12 temples to the Mother surrounding the central altar. These temples were located in what is now known as the ring of fire surrounding the Pacific. The temples released the divinity of God in manifestation in the heart.

Then there came a darkening of consciousness and a rebellion, with the perversion of the flame by the priests and priestesses. They perverted both the sound and the rhythm by the misuse of the sound and what followed was that cataclysm was unleashed through the mother force and Lemuria was destroyed through fire and volcanic eruption. This activity resulted in the loss of the fires of Mother upon the temple altar. So for 12,000 years we have not known this flame on the altars of the temples.

Out of the Mother flame comes the rhythm of all rhythm. The energy of Mother is meant to rise up the spiral altar. We learn that jazz and rock music are the antithesis of this rising. The rhythms of life are 4/4, 3/4, 6/8, 2/4 ,12/8, 5/4, 7/4, 12/4, each chakra having a rhythm base starting with 4/4 and even the causal body with its rhythm of 12/4. The side picture depicts a pattern of a crystal formed from frozen water when Bach's "Air on a G String" was played.

Time is Mother and space is Buddha. Mother controls all compartments of time and the release of all energy from God to matter form. And how we use energy is the return of energy from matter to spirit. So if we pervert the energy we receive in partaking of distorted rhythms, we are outside the figure eight flow of life, the Tai Chi of Alpha and Omega.

In 1980 I attended a lecture in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on the "Liberating Power of the Word," where Mother gave a lecture on Swiss scientist, Dr. Hans Jenny. Dr. Jenny conducted experiments using pastes and liquids where the mediums turned into life-like, flowing forms, which mirrored patterns found throughout nature, art and sacred geometry. All of these patterns were created using simple sine wave vibrations (pure tones) within the audible range.

The patterns above were created when different sounds were applied to various mediums such as sand. So what you see is a physical representation of vibration, or how sound manifests into form through the medium of various materials. You cannot come away from this lecture – or his study – without the profound sense of the power of the word to create. And to realize our deep responsibility to God to use sound - through the spoken word - and through music to create the beautiful images that Dr. Jenny could create through tones.

We see that all creation is based upon the mathematical form of rhythm and sound. The basis of rebellion on Lemuria was that the fallen ones could not remain in the discipline of the time of the Mother. They did not want to release the creative force of life in the rhythm of this sacred flow. The distortion of rhythm through the distortion of time causes worlds to collapse and souls to lose their reason for Being.

Above pattern from Dr. Jenny's
cymatic experiment.

Learn from cosmic history
From the Akashic records we learn that there is an asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars which is the remnant of a planet that was destroyed by the misuse of the word, the sound of the Aum. Through the correct use of sound we govern the energies in all of these planes of consciousness and through our chakras. When one has attunement with the real self, and his chakras are vibrating at the correct key, he becomes an instrument for the cosmic sound and rhythm to pass through him. We learn that it is the goal of meditation - and the use of the science of the word- to attune the chakras so that we may be instruments of cosmic spheres in the seven spheres of cosmic consciousness.

We must realize that those who were concerned for this activity at the high altar have every right to be concerned. And considering the past history of the misuse of sound by priests and priestesses, some of whom could be our present day priests and priestesses as managers, leaders and presidents of Church Universal, can we honorably stand by and let this happen again? How many compromises is one willing to see and excuse before they stand up and take a stand as Saint Germain has admonished us again and again?
