The Lord God Gives the Interpretation of the Roles of the Four Horsemen:
Warfare Against the Father, the Son,the Holy Spirit and the Mother

     In addition to the vision of the 2,000-year ride of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse that I received on February 22, 1989, the Lord God gave me the interpretation of the Four Horsemen in terms of cosmic cycles. He showed me that each of the Four Horsemen mirrors mankind's state of consciousness in the four quadrants. Each one represents the warfare waged against the Persons of the Godhead by the not-self, the synthetic self, which is called the dweller-on-the-threshold.

     Like the Guru who hung a mirror around his neck so his chelas would understand that they see in the Guru the mirror-image of their untransmuted self, so God has sent his Four Horsemen to appear as the embodiment of the collective untransmuted self of the race. In the Four Horsemen we see the untransmuted self face to face. Whatever they bring, whatever they do is the reflection of what mankind themselves have brought and done.

     Remember, the Father, Son, Holy Spirit and Mother govern the four quadrants of being. Consequently, as each of the Four Horsemen corresponds to one of the four quadrants, so they come under the jurisdiction of the Person of the Godhead who is the authority for that quadrant as well as the hierarchs who initiate the evolutions of earth on the lines of the Cosmic Clock within the quadrants.

     Sent by God at the command of the Four Beasts, who pronounce the "Come!" that is their signal to ride, these emissaries are the sign and the wonder of the infamy of an entire lifewave. The Four Horsemen are empowered by the karma they bring; for their warfare of the spirit waged against Father, Son, Holy Spirit and Mother in the midst of the people is, after all, the people's war against the Godhead turned back upon themselves.

     The white horse occupies the first quadrant. His domain is the etheric body of the people and their planet. This is the body of memory and records, hence of identity, both divine and human.

     "And I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come! And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given to him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer."1

     The white horseman represents the warfare of the spirit - against the Father and against the Father's manifestation of himself to his children on earth (fig. 6).

    

     The bow of the white horseman is for shooting the arrows that destroy the spirit (and the spirits) of the people. It typifies the mind of this horseman. His warfare takes place at a distance. Arrows that are shot by the mind can wound us from afar and tear down our spirits without actual contact between the bowman and the target. These arrows demoralize God's people by attacking their spirits.

     Our spirit is expressed in our sacred labor, in what we take pride in, in the work of our hands, and in what we do that contributes to our community. The spirit represents our calling - what we give our life to. Our spirit is intended to soar to the heights of the Holy Spirit.

     The Warfare of the Spirit

     The color of the white horse is deceptive because white is traditionally the color of the "good guys"; some students of the Bible have mistakenly compared this rider with the Faithful and True, who leads the armies of heaven in Armageddon. He, The Word, and those with him are clothed in white and they ride white horses (Rev. 19:11-14). But the first of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse has naught to do with the legions victorious who defeat the adversary in Armageddon. And the white of this horse only disguises his tremendous powers of deception. His warfare of the spirit is unseen and unfelt by a sleeping civilization.

     The crown he wears is the false laurels that society places upon those who have caused its death, for they know not whence the death has come. In reality the death has come from themselves, from the records of the subconscious and the unconscious, as they have crowned their basest desires and passions. These desires and passions are crowned king when the white horse rides.

     Who is king in our society? Whoever has the most sex appeal and the most money - the rock stars, the celebrities, the jet set. Who do the people worship? Those who brazenly live for their basest desires and passions. The people are fascinated with them (in some cases, fascinated and repulsed simultaneously) and therefore they become tied to them. They are slaves to their lusts for money, power and sex, even as they are enslaved to the gods themselves.

     Other players in this warfare of the spirit are the false teachers and the false teachings that come out of every organized religion today, which are the perversion complete of the Great White Brotherhood's true teachings on the sacred mysteries of Life. Every false religion, every phony theology, every belief system that intrudes itself between a man and his God, a soul and her Lord is a part of the warfare of the spirit.

     World Communism is a false ideology. It is the perversion of the Community of the Holy Spirit. And in this "communalism," this so-called socialism, every individual is reduced to the lowest common denominator of the human evolution. By denying individual accountability, Communism denies people their right to a sacred labor and to a standard of excellence as they execute the work of their hearts, their heads and their hands. It gives them absolutely no incentive to strive for Christhood.

     World Communism cancels out the path of initiation of the Guru-chela relationship, wherein day by day everyone can reap what he sows and show forth his handiwork. He can see that his input determines his output and that his output determines his reward - and make a determined freewill decision to increase his input if he wants to increase his output and therefore his reward. As Paul said to the Galatians, "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."2 This is the Law and the Lawgiver that World Communism denies.

     Reaping what we sow, no more and no less, we can see the multiplication of our effort day by day because we are willing to strive for quality both in our work and in ourselves. This is the path of discipleship. In America we are all intended to be on the path of individual self-mastery through our Holy Christ Self. And a lot of us would be, had it not been for the abuse and the takeover of the free enterprise system by the monopoly capitalists, Wall Street and the international bankers.

     Even so, we have more drive than the people in Communist countries, where it doesn't matter whether you try or you don't - either way you stand in line. You show up for work, you punch in, but the system provides no incentive for you to take pride in your work because you're worth something. For in a Communist country you have no worth because your labor has no worth. This is the killing of the human spirit. And this is what the white horse brings.

     Modern Christianity, in my estimation, is just as bad as World Communism because it separates the people from their God and provides them with a phony panacea, a placebo. It sets up Jesus as an idol who will automatically save all Christians and it keeps from the people Jesus' real message of salvation - that he came to show us how to walk the path of personal Christhood so that each one of us could walk it and win it for ourself.

     World Capitalism itself is a sham. It is as corrupt and corrupting as Hell. Its by-products are materialism, greed, self-indulgence and selfishness, along with the wanton destruction of Mother Earth. It is polluted and it is callous. But that's because the Nephilim gods and their godless creation have ruined it and civilization with it.

     The embodied fallen angels, "the Establishment," have made us vulnerable to the ride of the Four Horsemen by bringing upon us the karma for their pollution of the earth body as well as the bodies of the people and animal life. For our bodies are our Mother's even as our spirits are our Father's. And these gods of the West, who control basic commodities, business, industry, money, the farmers, the workers, the government, and everything else they have managed to get their hands on, have used their power and our money to build the enemy of the East, whose military might is about to destroy all that Saint Germain has built and stood for.

     But God is not mocked by the white horseman. God is not mocked by the returning karma of the people. God is not mocked by our sowings or our reapings. Let us not be mocked by them either.

     The Warring in the Members

     The red horse occupies the third quadrant. His domain is the astral body of the people and their planet (see fig. 6). This is the body of desire and the emotions, of the subconscious, and of the electronic belt that contains our karmic patterns.

     "And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come! And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword."3

     The red horseman brings the warfare against the World Mother on earth and the Divine Mother in heaven. The war waged and lost by the fallen angels against the Woman clothed with the Sun and her Manchild is recorded in Revelation 12. Archangel Michael and his legions defeated the fallen angels and cast them out of heaven into the earth, where they continue to make war with the Woman and her seed.

     The red horseman is the scourge of the earth, bringing war and bloodshed and strife. Men will die because they place their hopes in the false gods and the false theology of civilization instead of in the true and living God, their Mighty I AM Presence with them.

     When they give in to the white horse, they open themselves up to the red horse, who visits upon them their harvest of misdeeds, including their hatred of the Mother. This hatred is often transferred to their own souls and bodies as they visit upon this temple of the Mother bad food, drugs, alcohol, nicotine, sugar and unhealthy, unwholesome activities. The hatred of the Mother extends to her Manchild, the emergent Christ in all of us, through child abuse, pornography and poor education.

     The power of the red horse to take peace from the earth is the power of the returning karma of war.

     Where did this war originate? Paul told us. He described what we have all experienced at one time or another:

     For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.

     Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

     I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

     For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

     But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.4

     Paul perceived a warring in his members, right in his own subconscious, right in his own four lower bodies. The causes of war on a planetary scale are the warring in the subconscious and the divisions within our own psyche that we do not resolve because we do not put the will of God first.

     These psychological problems cannot be resolved until we finally bend the knee and confess that the Lord our God is one Lord and that he rules in our temple and in our lives. And that means that we challenge the not-self and surrender ourselves and our free will to his will. For in our state of ignorance, and in the absence of a fully integrated Christhood, we lack the capacity to know and to be God's will until we surrender all of our self-idolatries and inordinate desires. The red horseman would have no power over the children of God and no entree into our worlds if it were not for the warring in our members.

     The great sword that the red horseman bears represents the weapons and the armies that have been created by what Saint Germain calls the International Capitalist/Communist Conspiracy, made up of the betrayers of the people East and West. They are aligned with one another on the astral plane because they are of the same seed - the seed of the Wicked One - and because they have the same enemy: the Christ who lives in the hearts of the children of the Mother.

     They do not need to be outwardly connected when they are of the same ilk and vibration, when they work for the same ends and when they have the same genetic enmity against Christ. They are birds of a feather and they always flock together. No matter what their outward appearance, inwardly they are one.

     The False Father and the False Mother

     Both sides have built their arsenals. But for the most part, it is the capitalists and the international bankers who, through the sale of technology and manufacturing plants that are used to produce weapons, have armed World Communism and placed in the hands of the Soviet Union this great sword. It is the capitalists who have given the red horse the capacity to take peace from the earth.5

     We see in the white and the red horses the perversion of the Body and Blood of Christ. As the red horse represents the Soviet Union, so the whole Communist system becomes the perversion of the Mystical Body of God. Instead of Mother Russia being the place of the Sangha, of the Community of the Buddha and of the path of Christic initiation, it has become a gray, drab, monochromatic plane of World Socialism. The system, and those who perpetuate it by Hell's reinforcements, is a violation of the Mother Flame of Russia, of Mother Russia herself, and of the Holy Spirit in the people.

     On one level the red and the white horses act as the International Capitalist/Communist Conspiracy, the false father and the false mother. Whereas in two wars our sons and daughters liberated the world, the agreements made at the end of the wars by the fallen ones in our governments caused the failure of our mission just as we raised the cup of victory to our lips. And thus, millions of lives were lost in vain. The Treaty of Versailles created the conditions that led to World War II.6 The agreement at Yalta set up the enslavement of Eastern Europe.7

     The people gave their lives to liberate Europe in World War II, another war to end all wars, and then the fallen ones sit down at the conference table and give Eastern Europe to Stalin! It is absolutely the crime beyond the crime of the century!

     And the U.S. betrayal of Chiang Kai-shek in China in the late 1940s had the same result: World Communism devouring a nation that now has more than a billion people. And it was practically a gift to Mao Tse-tung from the powers that be in the White House and the U.S. State Department.8

     This is why we are "America the vulnerable." We have allowed the fallen angels in our midst to betray the people of the whole world, country by country, when America's destiny was, is and ever shall be to defend that flame of freedom and to give to each nation the concept of self-government in a representative democracy.

     I was a student in Switzerland during the Hungarian revolution in 1956. I will never forget the scenes of Soviet tanks moving into Budapest and crushing the youth in the streets. I will never forget the Hungarian refugees who arrived in Switzerland and the Swiss people demonstrating against this horrendous crime.

     And the justification by the United States for her failure to come to the aid of every nation in Eastern Europe has always been the philosophy of noninterference in "internal affairs." Even though in 1956 we could have stopped the Soviet invasion of Hungary without fear of nuclear annihilation, we chose not to stand between the people and these vicious fallen angels who have arrived at the leadership of the Soviet Union.

     Warfare Against the Son

     The black horse occupies the second quadrant. His domain is the mental body of the people and their planet. This is the body of the intellect and of cogitation. But it can also be the body of the conniving of the carnal mind. Hence, it is the body of duality, where the higher and the lower consciousness vie for the allegiance of the soul.

     "And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come! And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine."9

     The black horseman represents the warfare against the Son and his manifestation of the Christ in God's children on earth (fig. 6). This warfare is directed against all that proceeds from the Christ Mind and against all creative endeavors that are based on the standards of the Son of God, all that is good and beautiful and ennobling of the soul. The black horseman systematically opposes all that uplifts, all that increases the potential of the individual to internalize the Word and to embody the Light.

     The black horseman represents the perversion of the conscious and the subconscious mind. He carries the black despair that settles at all levels of the lower mind, which, in its state of being out of alignment with the Higher Mind, knows that it is separate from God. The misqualified energy of karma is stored in the "electronic belt" of the subconscious. And the archetypal absolutes of antipathy towards the four Persons of the Godhead are locked in the unconscious.10

     The unconscious is that portion of the self that shall never return to God. And the only way that our soul can return to God is if we disassociate ourselves from the non-Being and the non-Reality that has collected as we have self-identified beneath the level of our Christhood, which is our Real Self. We must stand apart from this synthetic self and through God, the Mighty I AM Presence, direct the violet flame and the sacred fire into it that it might be utterly consumed.

     The black horseman holds up his scales to deliver the message that this civilization has been weighed in the balances and has been found wanting:11

     The people of this civilization have misused God's Light, the oil and the wine, that has been given to them, by bartering for men's souls as if they were commodities.

     They have misused the oil of the Mother and the wine of the Father in every area of life. Therefore these shall be taken from them.

     The people of this planet have pinned their hopes and their civilization on a banking establishment and a power elite that shall not stand! And the Darkness that they have created shall return one-thousandfold to haunt them.

     That is the word of the Lord God spoken to me on February 22, 1989.

     Death Rides in the Unconscious

     The pale horse occupies the fourth quadrant. His domain is the physical earth body of the people and their planet. This body is the gift of the Father-Mother God, the necessary vehicle for fulfilling our karma on planet earth. Truly it is the temple of the living God that our souls inhabit for life's journey. The bodies of man and woman and the body of the earth are sacred and we must not desecrate them. Speaking of the four lower bodies as an integrated whole, Paul said, "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?"12

     "And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come! And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."13

     The pale horseman represents the warfare against the Holy Spirit. Unless there is a rallying of the Lightbearers of the world who can receive and understand this message and who will call for divine intervention, this prophecy of the pale horse may very well come to pass between April 23, 1990, and April 23, 2002. We may anticipate the early signs of it at the end of 1989 and continuing through March and April 1990.

     The pale horse brings the remainder of returning karma. He brings up the rear and delivers to our doorstep whatever is left after the first three have passed through. The stronghold of Death is the physical body. The stronghold of Hell is the unconscious. He whose name is Death embodies the elements of our mortality, our "mortalness," if you will. He whose name is Hell embodies the absolute antipathies of the dweller-on-the-threshold that occupies the realm of the unconscious.

     When Death rides he takes the souls of those who are "the dead," whether they are alive or dead in the physical sense. The Death Rider overtakes the people who have not already overtaken him and gone beyond him. He will find you whether you are alive or dead in the physical octave. If your soul is anchored in everlasting life, he will have no power over you. For our Lord Jesus has promised us: "I AM the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die."14

     We must be ready for the fourth horseman before he gets here. We must meet the initiations before they are upon us. We have to know that our God within us is the victor over Death and Hell.

     The unconscious contains records that are not easily contacted, our own records of Death and Hell that we have sown for centuries or that we have accepted from without. These must be exorcised in the name I AM THAT I AM Jesus Christ. We must clear our temples so that God may descend in the midst of them and be our everlasting life, so that when this pale horse confronts us, we will have no part with him and he will have no part with us. As Jesus said of the approaching Tempter: "The prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me."15 The Jerusalem Bible translation reads: "The prince of this world is on his way. He has no power over me."

     I would like to see every one of us be able to say, "Through God in me I have no point of vulnerability to the Four Horsemen!" Therefore we must use the time and space of these hours and days and months ahead to invoke the all-consuming fire of God and direct it into the negative karma, the negative momentums and the negative vibrations that we perceive in our souls and our four lower bodies.

     As you give your violet flame decrees, momentums of doubt, fear, depression, death, aggression and anger may surface from both the subconscious and the unconscious. These surfacings of layers of repressed and unresolved emotions are the tip of the iceberg of our human creation. Once they are uncovered, we must acknowledge them for what they are and then cast them into the sacred fire, allowing the next layer and the next and the next to rise to the surface to be cast into the sacred fire and be consumed.

     You can sit in front of your fireplace before a roaring fire while you give your violet flame decrees. As you feel misqualified energies coming up for transmutation, write down those conditions and ask the Holy Spirit to consume them as you cast your slips of paper one by one into the fire. The key is to identify the momentum, name it, and then cast it out in the name Jesus Christ.

     It is important to enlist the aid of the Seven Archangels in this struggle. During your violet flame sessions, offer the following prayer:

     Beloved Archangel Michael! Jophiel! Chamuel! Gabriel! Raphael! Uriel! Zadkiel! Enter my four lower bodies, my electronic belt, my subconscious and my unconscious now!

     In the name of Jesus Christ, bind and cast out all discarnate entities and all momentums of doubt, fear, human questioning of God, depression, death, aggression and anger! Cast out all animal magnetism connected with them.

     Beloved Archangel Zadkiel, Blaze forth;BO the violet flame! to consume now all layers of repressed and unresolved emotions. I cast them into the flame!

     Beloved Archangel Michael, I call to you to excise the genetic tares of the fallen ones sown in the folds of the garment of my consciousness by the enemy while I was asleep. I ask you to sow the good wheat of the Christ Mind in its place.

     I implore my God, my own beloved Mighty I AM Presence, to exorcise from me the cause, effect, record and memory of all negative conditions of consciousness (name conditions) .

     The prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me!

     (The prince of this world is on his way.

     He has no power over me!)

     Through God in me

     I have no point of vulnerability to the karma delivered by the Four Horsemen!

     I accept it done this hour in the full

     Power, Wisdom and Love of the Cosmic Christ!

     When you feel at peace and see the smiling face of your Holy Christ Self before you, seal your session with decrees to Archangel Michael and Astrea for the protection of the spiritual work you have accomplished. Then follow Jesus' admonishment: "Go and sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon thee."16

     Concerning the tares and the wheat of our psychology, Jesus told the multitudes:

     The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field.

     But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.

     But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

     So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?

     He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?

     But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.

     Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.17

     The meaning of this mystery is that through our own carnal-mindedness the fallen angels are able to plant seeds of Darkness in the fallow fields of our four lower bodies. When these tares spring up and we find them growing side by side with our wheat we say, "Where has this come from? How could these tares be growing in my field?"

     In order to separate out the tares from the wheat in the field of the subconscious mind, and even in the unconscious, we have to be astute in our calls, always asking the Holy Spirit to teach us how to pray and what we ought to pray for. And then we have to be incisive in delivering our fiats in the full power of the spoken Word, which will separate the tares from the wheat and consume them without consuming the wheat.

     Hell follows with the Death Rider. Hell consists of mankind's collective human creation. Its denizens are demons, discarnates and fallen angels, tagging behind the Death Rider. Hell is the collective unconscious of the planet where all the latent fears, desires and suppressed hatreds go. To those who create their own reality I say, you have also created your own Hell; and that which you have created will come back to haunt you when the pale horse rides. So now is the time to call to God to bind the Death and Hell of your own human creation. Then when the pale horse rides, you will be counted among the untouchables.

     The Astral Plane

     The fourth part of the earth that Death is given power over according to John's vision is the lowest vibrating part of the planet. And if you already live in the lower vibrations of the astral body of the earth, the pale horse will find you. Now, many people think that "the fourth part of the earth" means a quarter of the population or a quarter of the geographical area. But far more than a quarter of the people live in that lowest vibrating part of the earth - the astral plane, the state of consciousness called Hell.

     The astral plane defines the bottom 25 percent of the karmic ladder. Today those who occupy the bottom 25 percent of the karmic ladder are most of the people on the planet, thanks to rock music, drugs and the junk that's on television, which is nothing but the astral sewer regurgitated day after day. That sewer is being pumped into the people who spend hours and hours of their week, year in and year out, in front of the TV set.

     To be precise, 85 percent of earth's evolutions today - in or out of embodiment (and there are many out of embodiment) - are functioning at the low end of the spectrum of the astral plane.

     It's amazing how quickly you can get soiled and saturated with the scum of the astral plane if you don't invoke the Light of God on a daily basis and transmute that silt that collects in the world's astral body and your own. You have to keep it off of you and out of you. If your consciousness and your vibrations gravitate to the daily soap opera rounds that people make of their lives, then you are in the astral plane; and when the pale horse rides, you will be subjugated by him.

     What is so boring about the plots of soap operas on TV and "real life" and in the movies being produced today is that they no longer take into account the real dramas of our lives, which deal with the warfare of the spirit and the forces of Good and Evil and Light and Darkness. Instead of the inconsequential sequences we see on the screen today, we need to grapple with the challenges of Life and Death, where free will and right and wrong decisions make the difference as to whether or not individuals and nations survive. This generation needs to experience the classic confrontations that Life presents to every soul, such as those found in Shakespeare, in the Bible, in our history books and in classical literature.

     The problem is that people would rather be rocked in the cradle of fantasy as they escape to an illusory world of titillations and terror, temptresses and tycoons, where all of their unfulfilled desires can be vicariously fulfilled. People don't want Reality, so they don't get it - from God or the media.

     Great drama comes from the themes of the world's scriptures, from the ancient story of the warfare in heaven, for instance, when Archangel Michael and his legions of Light prevailed over the fallen angels who were cast out of heaven into the earth plane.18 Or from the Fall of Adam and Eve and all the subsequent trials and testings of heroes and antiheroes.

     So instead of showing the sequences of karma and the cumulative effects of past lives, instead of portraying the real life story of the soul, and of many souls who pass through this world the victors over Death and Hell, television parades the melodramas of the synthetic self, which has no end and no new beginnings. It just runs on and on like a lost spacecraft drifting endlessly through space - the timeless space of the astral plane.

     It is sad but true that this is where the pale horse will find the bulk of the people when he rides the physical plane in the decade of the 1990s. And I suppose that until the hour of confrontation children and adults alike will continue to prop themselves up before the TV.

     And it is so hypnotic that they can just sit there hour after hour mesmerized. It's so bad that when the fourth horse-man comes they may not even know it. As Seneca said, "They are unwilling to live, and yet they do not know how to die," and Mark Prophet echoed, "They have never lived. They can wait to die."

     If they have an I AM Presence and a Holy Christ Self, all the Light that is flowing to them that they should be using to overcome their karma and to pursue their sacred labor with creativity and excellence will flow instead into the people on TV. It goes into the actors and actresses, into the goods that are advertised and into the corporations that display their lifeless foods and their wares that destroy the environment.

     While absorbing the low vibrations of everything that is unreal, these couch potatoes feed these empty personas their life and light simply in the process of riveting their "eyes" on them. So you give everything you've got to the TV set and what do you get? A sack of potatoes!

     And those who follow soap operas get to the place where they believe that the characters are real people. They hang on every event and eventuality, which are simply maya - products of somebody else's fantasizing. They vicariously experience life through the TV and wind up with no real experiences in their own lives. Life is no longer real.

     So that's how I can say that 85 percent of earth's evolutions live in the astral plane. The media and the entertainment industry are everywhere. There are TV sets in the jungles of Ghana in mud huts. I have seen them. I went into one of these huts to chat with a mother and to my astonishment there was a TV set on the mud floor! This comes back to the indoctrination by the white horse, which destroys the spirit of the people of the world through the consumer products of America that have gone to every nation and to the farthest corners of the planet.

     The Powers Given to Death and Hell

     In my February 22 vision, the Lord God gave me an interpretation of the four powers given to Death, and to Hell that follows with him:

     1- Death and Hell have the power "to kill with sword." This means they kill with the misuse of the sacred word. That's the true meaning of sword. S-word - s stands for sacred and word stands for Word. The sharp sword that proceeds out of the mouth of the Faithful and True is the Sacred Word. But this sword in the mouths of the unredeemed can be misused. The sacred word that we use as we qualify God's Light through our throat chakras either can become the sword of the Spirit to bring Good into manifestation by our dynamic decrees and good words and works, or it can become a sword of Evil.

     The ultimate misuse of the sacred word is rock music, drugs, sugar, alcohol, nicotine, black magic, witchcraft, Satanism, death worship, lying and murder. It is also the perversion of the sacred fire in perverted sex and in all of the seven chakras.

     The ultimate misuse of the sacred word returns as cataclysm. It is written in scripture, "All they that take the sword shall perish with the sword."19 Elohim have pronounced, "He who misuses the sacred word shall die through the return karma of that sacred word misused." The misuse of the sacred word in all areas of life is more prevalent today than it has been since the days of Atlantis.

     2- Death and Hell have the power "to kill with hunger." The people will be hungry. They will be physically hungry and they will also be possessed of the hunger that comes from not being able to find God. It is a desperate hunger.

     3- They have the power "to kill with Death." The Death Rider kills with the death that the people have sent forth. For they have visited their death (their death consciousness) upon the earth.

     4- They have the power "to kill with the beasts of the earth." The beasts of the earth are the people's passions and emotions that they unleash. These are personified as entities and demons. The Ascended Masters have given us many decrees and invocations for the exorcism of these "beasts" from our four lower bodies, our chakras and our electronic belts.

     We see, then, that it is imperative (and I have preached sermon after sermon on this subject) that we withdraw our energy from everything that is of the astral plane and everything that would pull our Light from us. By so doing we can escape the Death Rider and receive renewed opportunity to serve in embodiment on earth.

     When Jesus was confronted by the chief priests and captains of the temple guard and elders before he was arrested, he said, "This is your hour, and the power of darkness."20 We have to understand that the hour of Light's power will come. But before that hour come, there is the hour of karma and of the judgment of the self-styled rulers of this world. They have had their day, their karma is on its way as surely as Four Horsemen ride, and they will be judged "every man according to their works."21

     We have to recognize those things that tie us to Death and Hell and separate ourselves out from them so that we will not be caught by the pale horse delivering the karma of the physical quadrant. We must balance our karma by words and works worthy of the Lord. And let us not be caught on the astral plane - in or out of the body, whether in life or in death - when the Death Rider rides, with Hell following after.

Volume 33, Number 7, footnote 7. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Premier Joseph Stalin met in Yalta February 4-11, 1945. Their agreements were kept secret and not revealed until after the war ended on August 14, 1945. The three leaders agreed on the demand for the unconditional surrender of Germany and drew up plans for the division of Germany into four occupation zones under the control of a unified commission in Berlin. They also agreed to reorganize the Soviet-backed Polish Lublin government "on a more democratic basis" to include members of Poland's Allied-supported government-in-exile in London. Stalin agreed to "free and unfettered" elections as early as possible. Plans for the founding conference of United Nations were discussed.
The Soviet Union secretly agreed to enter the war against Japan three months after Germany surrendered. In exchange it was to receive territories in Japan and China. The United States and Great Britain acknowledged the autonomy of Outer Mongolia and agreed that full membership in the United Nations would be granted to the Ukraine and Belorussia under the argument that they were independent nations. According to the New Columbia Encyclopedia, "the subsequent outbreak of the cold war and Soviet successes in Eastern Europe led to much criticism in the United States of the Yalta Conference and of Roosevelt, who was accused of delivering Eastern Europe to Communist domination" (s.v. "Yalta Conference").
After the war, free elections were not held in Poland and the Soviet puppet government, with the addition of a few token members of the Lublin government, remained in power. "Following this Polish example," writes Encyclopaedia Britannica, "Soviet authorities elsewhere in eastern Europe where the Red Army was in control thereafter established Soviet-dominated regimes, eliminating political forces that resisted. Thus by 1948 Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, [East Germany], and Poland were all safely reduced to satellite status: opposition political leaders had been executed, imprisoned, or exiled, and new `people's democracies' had become part of what was, de facto, a Soviet empire. In 1948 Czechoslovakia, a Western-style parliamentary democracy under Edvard Benes was subverted. With this final coup, an 'iron curtain,' as Churchill had said in 1946, was truly drawn across the face of Europe, stretching from Stettin (Szczechin) in the north to the Adriatic Sea in the south" (15 ed., s.v. "International Relations"). See also 1988 PoW, Book I, pp. 175-79.

Volume 33, Number 7, footnote 10. The term "subconscious" is defined as the mental activities just below the threshold of consciousness which can be easily brought to consciousness; the aspect of the mind that is an entity or a part of the mental apparatus overlapping, equivalent to, or distinct from the unconscious. Some psychoanalysts use the term to describe a zone between the unconscious and the conscious. As summarized by Robert M. Goldenson, in psychoanalysis the term "unconscious" is used to denote "the portion of the mind or mental functioning which contains the memories, wishes and impulses that are not directly accessible to awareness, but which have dynamic effects on thought and action. Freud maintained that there are two types of mental contents stored in the unconscious: certain infantile, or `primordial,' wishes and impulses that have never become conscious, but which appear or are represented in dreams, fantasies, magical thinking and gestures; and material, such as memories and drives, that has become conscious for a time but has been expelled from awareness." Modifying Freud's concepts, Carl Jung theorized the personal and the collective unconscious. Jung postulated that the personal unconscious "consists of experiences which were once conscious but which have been superseded or forgotten, as well as ideas and wishes which have never been strong enough to make a conscious impression. Some of these memories, thoughts, and feelings may split off from the main body of the psyche, due to traumatic experiences or internal conflicts, and form a constellation or 'complex' of their own. ...[The collective unconscious] is the residual of the racial history of man and his animal ancestors. ... It is an accumulation of predispositions and potentialities which in its totality forms the frame of reference with which we view the world. Jung calls these structural components 'archetypes.' ... They arise from historical experience and constitute the inherited foundations upon which the whole structure of the personality is built. In a word, each individual's psyche reflects the wisdom and experience of the ages" (Robert M. Goldenson, The Encyclopedia of Human Behavior: Psychology, Psychiatry, and Mental Health [Garden City, N.Y.: Doubleday and Co., 1970], 2:1344; 1:652, 653). The Ascended Masters teach that the subconscious is the repository of the "electronic belt," which contains the cause, effect, record, and memory of human karma in its negative aspect; the unconscious is the repository of the archetypes of the Absolute Evil of Death and Hell. The collective unconscious is jointly held by the human race; the individual, or personal, unconscious is the result of personal actions.

6 The Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, by the United States, France, England, Italy and Germany. The responsibility for World War I was formally placed on Germany and its allies, and Germany was required to make large reparation payments. A number of German territories were awarded to European nations: Alsace and Lorraine were restored to France; most of West Prussia was awarded to Poland; and Danzig was established as a free city. Plebiscites (popular votes of an entire country or district expressing an opinion for or against a choice of government or ruler) resulted in the transfer of lands to Belgium, Denmark and Poland. The Allies were to occupy the Rhineland for 15 years and the French were given administrative authority over the Saar Territory for an equal period. The German army and navy each were reduced to 100,000 men, the country was forbidden to build major offensive weapons, and the right bank of the Rhine was to be permanently demilitarized. The rise of National Socialism, the Nazi movement, was attributed in part to the German dissatisfaction with the terms of the treaty. Hitler unilaterally canceled the military clauses of the treaty in 1935 and began the remilitarization of the Rhineland in 1936.
