PRINCIPLES OF A MASTER
I sat in my new house relaxing after the move. I was playing
a game on the computer and felt what I thought was Ebbie walking around me.
I could hear panting and thought she was just hot or wanted to go outside.
"OK," I said and turned around in my chair. What I saw looking at me was
Baron. Bogie had died a few months ago and Baron went home only a week ago.
I put one arm under and around each one's neck and hugged and kissed them.
They licked my face like they always did. "Where is Michael?" I asked, then
noticed a glow of light to the left of me.
As I turned I could see the glow was coming from the painting of Michael I
had done. The light was being emitted like rings or waves of light. His
wings were shining like silver polished to a high luster that had a
floodlight focused on it. In Michael's hand the star octahedron was spinning
and throwing off all the colors of the rainbow. Still, after all these
years, there were the eyes. I guess I will never get used to them. Like
jewels of light shining from his diving soul -- if angels have such a thing.
I pushed my chair back to get a better look, watching as he came out of the
painting, growing to his full size of eight feet. I looked back to the
painting to see if his image was still on the canvas, and noticed it was.
"Come walk with me," was all he said.
"Here we go again," I said to myself. I watched as Michael and the three
dogs headed for the wall. First Michael went through the wall, and then
Bogie and Baron. But Ebbie and I had the same experience with walls. She ran
into it just as I had the first time I tried to follow Michael through one.
"Come on, Ebbie," I said. "You and I have to use the door." Dressed only in
shorts and no shoes, out the door I went with Ebbie close behind me. As I
rounded the corner, I saw Michael and the two dogs in a stand of trees out
in the back yard.
As I approached, Michael said, "This is where you will set the Gate. It is
important you place it here. The setting of this Gate will align with other
Gates that have been set. There will be a New Harmony come forth form this
one being set here. This is why you were led to this place."
"I had a feeling it was something like that. That just any other place
wouldn't work out."
"Joe, have you not seen that you are being led to where you must be?"
"Yes, Michael. Life is changing all the time after your coming the first
time. So this is the place I am to set my Gate?"
"Yes, your Gate. Yet it is to be a new one. Take not the Gate you set before
[over on Donna's property]. It was there for a reason."
"OK, this one will be a new Gate then."
"I have come to tell you of the sevens. They are in need of comfort in the
traps they have. For they do not understand the grace the traps make
available for them. The masters that have been gathered have not been given
a way to guide them. Write what I give you that they may grow in spirit.
Yes, I say to you, these are not rules for masters. These are what your kind
would principles to follow to help them on the path they have chosen. You
may keep the two rules you gave them. Yet only those two rules."
I smiled. "You like that, huh?"
"Your humor gave the sevens a way to be free to choose the way they think."
THE THIRTEEN PRINCIPLES
1. As a master, I accept god's love for me and know I am in god's care.
2. As a master, I align my life with the spiritual principles set forth in
The book of bricks.
3. As a master, I honor and respect my gifts and the gifts of other
masters.
4. As a master, I teach only love.
5. As a master, I will be ever vigilant of my traps, and not the traps of
other masters.
6. As a master, I examine on a daily basis my participation with my gifts
and traps.
7. As a master, I will be watchful for my selfishness and ego.
8. As a master, I carry the message to all that would see it.
9. As a master, I deny no one healing or teaching because of my feelings
for/about him or her.
10. As a master, I receive fair compensation for teaching, healing, and
the work I create.
11. As a master, I render 7 % to wherever I receive spiritual nourishment
or did profit from the work of another.
12. As a master, I set aside time to commune with god in prayer or
meditation.
13. As a master, I am forever striving to grow as a person and a useful
servant of God.
"Well, Michael, this looks like a twelve-step program for the masters, if
you ask me.
"Yes, Joe, it does. Yet in the case of the masters, there are 13
principles." "I guess we need more help with our spiritual program than the
ones who don't have one yet. On number 11, do I give you the 7 percent or
what? "Joe, you have taken more than 7 percent and put it into the work you
do. Consider us even." "The last principle sounds like a line from a movie I
saw." "There are many lines in movies for people to hear." "How true that
is, Michael."
"Set the Gate, for the Shekinah has the first of the Keys to give you. You
will give them to the sevens."
"Hang on a minute, Michael. Gary said something about the keys being
something else, or already given. I don't remember what it was, but I know
it isn't what you are talking about."
"True, Joe, yet it [what Gary wrote] does set in motion the giving of the
Keys."
"OK, I can buy that. I do remember one question Gary asked me. He wanted to
know if he is right on the numbers?"
"Gary has done well. Yet, for now, you need sleep after your move. Go rest.
We will speak again. Teach only love." The light surrounding Michael grew,
and he stepped back into it and was followed by Bogie and Baron. As they
left, a voice came from them in unison to tell Donna that they are with her,
and to know she is loved and watched over. Then the light was gone and I
returned to the house.
