Saturday Message, April 17, 2010

On the Saturday preceding the mission to India, Bishop Gene Savoy Jr. announced the purpose of the journey and asked the congregation of the Community to pray for the protection of himself and his Companions while they were away. The transcript of the message follows:

As you all know, I will be leaving for India on Thursday with Rev. Robert Roy and Rev. Bill Bartlett. And we will be gone for four weeks. Our mission is to introduce the universal System of Cosolargy into the Vedic tradition, which we are currently working on with Swami Atmananda and Satya-chetana.

We will be visiting with Swami Sri at his ashram for two or three days. And I hope to discuss with him some of the principles of Cosolargy, beyond what we have already discussed, and to introduce him to some of our techniques. I also hope to concelebrate a Sunrise Divine Service with him while I’m there. In addition to visiting the ashram, we will be touring southern, central, and northern India, visiting numerous ancient solar sites, temples, and healing shrines. While in northern India, we will visit Dharamsala where I have been granted an audience with His Holiness, the Seventeenth Karmapa, who is the Black Hat lama of Tibet and the spiritual head of the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Karma Kagyu literally means “Lineage of the Word,” and this school emphasizes highly the oral tradition and predates the Dalai Lama’s school by more than two centuries. My understanding is that there are four major traditions within Tibetan Buddhism, and that the Dalai Lama, as the temporal head of the Gelug tradition, emphasizes more of a scholastic and virtuous approach to life and to spirituality. But again, the Karmapa and his School emphasize the oral tradition, a tradition which we are very aware of in our Community.

I will present the Karmapa with the texts Jamil and The Prophecy of the Universal Theocracy, and I hope to discuss with him certain principles contained within the Sacred Teachings of Light; primarily, the aspect of God’s new Light, which is permeating the universe and bringing forth heightened levels of spiritual Consciousness by means of the Sun of Righteousness – enhanced energy levels, which, we know, have never before been experienced by the human family. Therefore, this is an important “expedition,” so to speak, and one which I hope will pave the way for future trips, including a Project “X” tour and seminar in the future. A few words from The Prophecy of the Universal Theocracy:

. . . in the ancient Indian culture, as in so many cultures of recorded history, sages had visions of a future age, an age when the Supreme Creator would intervene in the world affairs and bring peace and harmony among all peoples and all nations of the world. This age was to be one of Universal Justice and Virtue, when God would end the eternal struggle caused by human and natural order; He would use the very Powers of Creation to stabilize the Universe—an event described in the liturgical symbolism of Indian religion.Now, while we are gone, I would like all of you to help guide and protect us in our travels. And I would like you to practice a technique that was introduced to us some years ago by my late

father. In employing this particular technique, we are going to call upon the holy and wondrous Child, Jamil. And I would like you to practice this technique, which I am going to explain, at sunset each day while we are gone. Sunset here in Reno will approximately be sunrise in India, so we will, therefore, be in communion with each other. . . .

[At this point in the sermon the technique was described. Because the technique was mailed to all members of the Community personally, it is excluded from this published transcript.]

. . . I believe we were introduced to this technique several years ago, and it was explained at that time that after the first forty years had elapsed, we could then call upon The Child for aid and that before that forty years had elapsed, not even the Guardian of The Child was allowed to appeal to him. However, now we have been promised assistance from other realms, and we are mastering these techniques over decades of time. And we have been appointed to carry out these highly specialized and sacred techniques.

What this means is that our Order, the Jamilian Order, is now functioning as it has been destined to; just as the Essene Order did ages ago; just as Jesus fulfilled his preordained destiny, with the founding of the messianic Church. We succeed [them] in that tradition.

With the coming of the Angel of Light in the form of the Wondrous Child, who has proclaimed the epiphany of God’s messianic Sun of Righteousness and the Advent of the Light of Righteousness, God’s Supreme and Divine Light, the promised Second Coming has transpired. And we know that this outcome is preordained of God.

Therefore you are instructed to perform this rite daily while we are away by applying it — and I will also be applying it, in company with my companions, while we are in India. And I ask you to make this pledge to apply this technique for the four weeks. If you should be unable on any given day to watch the sun set, then practice the technique at night (with your imagination) or at sunrise in the morning.

And that is my message for you today. Thank you.
