NAMASTE –

As ALWAYS, we appreciate you coming to the “TOU” to join us in WORSHIP and CELEBRATION of SPIRIT, – “THE GREAT SPIRIT”, as NATIVE AMERICANS call GOD the CREATIVE SOURCE, who we, The HUMAN FAMILY recognize in worship and celebration around the World under many different names and in many different ways!

But, after all there is ONLY ONE SPIRIT, – “The ONE, IN WHOM WE LIVE, and, move, and have our being”, and in Whose image and likeness, we are so very BLESSED and GREATFUL to have been CREATED!

Today some of you may be here for the 1st time, while others have been coming for several MONTHS and some of you for years now, and have been attending our FREE CLASSES along the way, – AND there are also a few of you here to-day, who have been with us since The FIRST TEMPLE SERVICE took place in NOVEMBER 1995!

SO: WHAT IS A TEMPLE? “THE TEMPLE IS THE PEOPLE!”

These words were spoken to me by Lord SERAPIS BEY, the Lord of the 4th Ray, at Camp Chesterfield during a private, direct voice session, through the mediumship of Rev. Hoyt Robinette in 1992!

“The Temple is the PEOPLE! – “Always remember this!” the Master repeated. What I was being asked to remember was, that the Temple has NEITHER anything to do, AT ALL, with a FORMAL STRUCTURE (how MAGNIFICANT may be) NOR with the, SO called, DIGNITARIES of such a MAN-MADE BUILDING! Whether they be Popes, Bishops, Priest, Ministers, Rabbis, etc.!

NO: THE PEOPLE, COLLECTIVELY, BECOME A TEMPLE, WHENEVER AND WHEREEVER THEY GATHER TO INVITE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT!

It is as simple as that! – And we do that EVERY SUNDAY at the start of THE HEALING MEDITATION!

One Sunday in the EARLY DAYS OF THE TEMPLE, as Rev. Betty Tatalajski was driving to the SERVICE, LORD EL MORYA KHAN (1st Ray)
Attempted to dictate some words to her! (you see the situation)

I was on the Podium preparing to conduct, as Betty came SCURRYING up the isle to me, and almost out of breath said: quickly write this down, before I forget: And THUS we received The Invocation we use all the time:

COME HOLY SPIRIT COME, MOVE THROUGH THIS PLACE,
COME HOLY SPIRIT COME, OUR FEARS ERACE,
COME HOLY SPIRIT COME, MOVE THOUGH OUR HEARTS AND MINDS AND BLESS US
WITH LOVE DIVINE,
OH, COME HOLY SPIRIT COME.

LORD EL MORYA KHAN spoke to me at a later time in DV (Hoyt) SAYING: “When you call the Holy Spirit into the Temple, into all the classes and private meditations, this is our cue for entrance.

Because you call in the Holy Spirit, we can come in. We can guide you, direct you and shine our light on you.” And then he said, “You can do one more thing after you call in the Holy Spirit, when you say, OH COME HS, COME, then say, Thy Will be done.”

In the text book part of A Course in Miracles it says: “It is on the people, the Temple must be built. There is no choice in this, because only you can be the foundation of God’s Temple.

A Temple is where an Altar is, and the presence of the Altar is, what makes a Temple holy. A Temple that does not inspire love has a hidden Altar, which is not serving the purpose, which God intended.” “Anyone who is willing to invite the Holy Spirit into their heart, THE Altar of their Body Temple, is a Disciple of God. The Altar is not a thing, it is our devotion!”

The true nature of a Temple and its’ Altar is very beautifully expressed in the Poem: “DEDICATION TO AN ALTAR” which came from a booklet – an addition to A Course in Miracles: 7A

     And NOW: How DID THIS PATICULAR TEMPLE, THE T of U, come about? And WHAT IS ITS HISTORY?

First of all, when it is time and that is God’s Time, for something to be established onto the earth plane, it is first created in the SPIRIT-REALM!

This was also the case in as far as the T of U was concerned, as it was founded by LORD SANAT KUMARA – The LORD OF THE WORLD –the ANCIENT OF DAYS, as he is referred to in the Bible.

He is the ONE, who came from VENUS 18 1⁄2 million years ago to this PLANET and focused HIS LOVE and LIGHT onto HUMANITY, and PLANET EARTH!

It was during the 3rd Rootrace – The Lemurian, the Continent of Lemuria was located, where the PACIFIC OCEAN now is!
It was a most AUSPICIOUS occasion which also allowed “more or less” ANIMAL MAN to be INPREGNATED with MIND!

TALK ABOUT OWING GRATITUDE FOR THIS GREAT EVENT. This painting of Lord Sanat Kumara brought to us from the Bridge to Freedom by Walter Trechel is a priceless gift, that we cherish here in the Temple.

SECONDLY: Someone on the Earthplane would have to show that “LITTLE WILLINGNESS” to HOLD THE THROUGHT-FORM OF THE TEMPLE! That takes commitment, dedication, meditation, visualization, willingness to serve, and it takes TIME (God’s Time) and therefore PATIENCE (lots of it)

Rev. Betty Tatalajski is the Founder of the Temple on the Earth-Plane. LORD SAINT GERMAINE the DIRECTOR!

In 1980 Betty was a student in the Spiritual Development classes in Rev. Robert Ireland’s Church (Y-OUR CHURCH) Very SPECIAL CLASS – DR. CARLOS BLAIR Dr Ireland in trance allowing Dr. Blair to teach the class.

Betty also facilitated A COURSE IN MIRACLES from 1980-1986 and took her students to Camp Chesterfield in 1980, a TRADITION that continued over the next 25 years, with her Inner Vision class, usually over the week of the 4th of July!

Camp Chesterfield is a SPIRITUALIST CAMP In 1886 the Indiana Association of Spiritualists was formed. They elected officers for 1887 and met steadily for over 124 years now.

In 1890 they held a grove meeting on the banks of the White River and in 1891 opened Camp Chesterfield on the same spot. Carroll and Emily Bronnenberg (Rex Bronnenberg’s ancestors) owned the land at that time and made the camp site possible by selling it to the new Association. They and many members of their family were Spiritualists from the earliest days of the movement, and Carroll and Emily were charter members of the Indiana Association of Spiritualists.

Betty also took her A Course in Miracles students to Tahiti – an amazing adventure, but also a test, “Now you can call it ‘Inner Vision Class’” –addicted to the Blue Books as I did in 1991 when I joined the IV Class.

When Betty went to Camp, she met her guides and teachers, like I did, when I went there in 1996. One year her teachers told her, one of these days she would be ordained in Rev. Ireland’s church, and she was.

Then another year they said one of these days you will have your own church, sometime in the future. “Really, how interesting, I wonder how that is going to come about?” she thought.

Another time they came in and said, “That church we told you would have one day, well, we don’t want you to call it a church. If you call it a church, people will confuse it with one more religion, and there is already too much separation on the Earth plane due to religions. We don’t need another one.

This is not a religion; this is a Consciousness, a Universal Consciousness. Call it a Temple. A Temple is where Spirit dwells and works. Call it Temple of Universality. Universal is pertaining to the ALL. Effecting and concerning all, an all embracing range of truth, which is to be found in all religions. We would like you to hold the vision of that Temple of Universality, existing now in spirit realms, so you can birth that thoughtform into matter, into the Earth plane, when the time is right.

Years passed. The teachers said, “You can’t do this alone, you are going to have some “pillars” to support the structure of this Temple, this baby of yours, the new Temple of Universality, that you are going to birth. We are going to send you the Godparents, they will be the Pillars. And when they are strong enough to support the Temple-structure, the Temple will be brought into the Earth plane.

When we send you the pillars, some will weaken and be replaced and some will choose to be replaced and some will see the big picture, and they will stay, and they will work, and they will grow strong.

By 1995 Rev. Ireland was retiring and closing his church. We were still in the Inner vision class on Tuesday nights, and Thursday nights we were still sitting in what is now the Holy Grail Circle, which is the glue of the Temple. On Sunday’s we came together and visited other churches. Camp came up. That summer Spirit said: The time is close.

One week after camp, Betty received a telephone call from Rev. Rita Selman and Dr. Lloyd Selman, ministers of “The Gateway to Light”. She said, Spirit had told them, Betty will soon be bringing into focus the Temple of Universality, and they would like to invite her and her friends to come over and practice their ministerial skills in what they would call the Gateway to Universality”. They opened up their arms and took us in. Now they are K RENEE and OMAR.

That November I planned to spend Thanksgiving in California with my son and his family. Betty was taking me to the airport. On Monday morning before Thanksgiving, the teachers talked to Betty while she was in meditation, and said to start the Temple the following Sunday. The Baby must be born. You are the BIRTH Mother and you must find a place to birth this baby. Betty had been PREGNANT for 10 years. It had been a long time getting to this day. I felt badly about leaving, but Betty said, I should go.

When I returned, and Betty picked me up at the airport, I asked, “Was the baby born?” “Oh yes”, she said, “Was it beautiful?” “Oh yes”. “Where was it born?” Beaming with MOTHERLY PRIDE she said, “In the park.”

The following Thursday night, the teachers came in, channeling through Rev. Kristine Fossatti, and said, “Congratulations to Mother and Godparents. Now it is up to you to nurture so that it may grow to maturity. And one day, when the time is right, multiply. We let it be born in the park, because most importantly, you must make it grow and become stronger, and so will you as a result.

Celebrating Spirit in the park was wonderful, we were mostly in the Ramada by the baseball field in Reid Park. We didn’t have a building but God’s nature was our building and the Universe was our roof. Could it be more grand? I don’t think so!

At times we couldn’t get that Ramada, so we took the Temple on the road. We did “Spirit in the Chiricahuas,” and other places. Spirit put a large sign up to the entrance to Reid Park for the Temple of Universality. That’s the way we saw it anyway.

We had to share it with the Colorado Rockies baseball team, but we didn’t mind, and they didn’t seem to either. The Sign said “Spring Training” in bold letters. That’s what we were in “Spring Training” for the Godparents to be ordained.

We came together every Sunday and played with the Baby. We packed the Temple up in the trunks of our cars and brought it to Reid Park and unfolded it. Lots of work, but we loved it. No microphone, sometimes it rained and even snowed at Christmas. We made adjustments for the cold.

Usually we had a potluck picnic afterwards. Joe Fossatti and Peter Morash cooked fish they caught the day before.  Air force – Harley Davidson’s – No one paid much attention; the place was filled with Spirit. In May we came inside – microphone – air-conditioning – ready for some heat! We were in different places each year until we were allowed to come into the MASONIC TEMPLE. Saint Germaine is the founder of the Masonic Order. It is good to have friends in
high places. But we think back with Nostalgia to the days of Spirit in the Park.

Along the way Spirit said: it is time for the Godparents to be ordained as ministers and Betty received this channeling: – read “The Mossy Spiritualists”

Upon this message Betty sent us out of the Temple and into 6 weeks of Boot camp to straighten us out. Betty was in Boot camp herself when as a young woman she joined the Marines. One time she shared with me that it taught her discipline, to stand tall but most importantly it taught her group consciousness, “ONE FOR ALL AND ALL FOR ONE” G Consciousness is the theme for the Aquarian Age.

Together we must hold the throughform of the Golden Age with Saint Germaine in order to bring it into reality on the Earth plane!

We were ordained in January 1998. After that other ordinations took place. Last one’s was the ordinations of Martha/Darryl Schoon and Yazdi Contractor and we were delighted to welcome them. Others to be ordained are in our thoughts!

So, if you have wondered what the Temple of Universality is all about, Lord Sarapis Bey says: “The TEMPLE is the PEOPLE!” MASTER DJWHAL KHUL calls it the “TEMPLE of HUMANITY in the NEW AGE” (the golden age to be)

So: Coming together in love, and to love our fellowmen, leading a disciplined life and a spiritual unfolding life of meditation, study and service; recognizing the Divinity in all faiths and beings, and ruling our daily life with love –That is what I would say, that we the people, who are the Temple, are all about! So, I SALUTE all of you for being part of this amazing journey we are on.

in this episode of steps beyond times, Betty and Darryl share a discussion of physical phenomena the history of the Temple of universality.
