In the Fall of 1977, we discussed having a special initiation for members of the center, but somehow it never seemed to get off the ground. Then in December, just before Christmas at a small gathering in our home, Richard's guide, David, came through. He told us to use amber oil and instructed me to write the initiation since I would know how it was to be done. Imagine my surprise since I had no conscious knowledge of initiations! We decided that we should hold the initiation at our special Christmas Eve service and a few days before Christmas Eve, I sought help through meditation for instructions pertaining to the initiation. Once again I was surprised when I discovered that it was to be an initiation into the Brotherhood Of Light, not the Alexandrian Center. I was given specific instructions, including how the special amber oil was to be used.

We are told that the higher one aspires in his spiritual evolution (the brighter his "light" becomes), the more vulnerable he becomes to the forces of darkness. The "light" is blinding to forces of darkness so they seek to destroy it. The initiation provides a form of protection, which is a gift to us from the Brotherhood Of Light. You're probably wondering, "Exactly what is the Brotherhood Of Light?" According to what we have been told, they represent the highest form of Ascended Masters and they dwell on the seventh plane. They are not to be confused with the Great White Brotherhood, who are spiritual entities residing on the fourth plane, also working for the betterment of souls.

It seems that I have been appointed by the Brotherhood, to serve as the Anointer. My function is to bestow the anointing on all "light workers" and "light bearers" with whom I come into contact. I have been assigned a special guide known as the "Armor Bearer" since my new role makes me extremely vulnerable to the dark forces. The "Armor Bearer" is my direct link to the Brotherhood Of Light, and her purpose is to protect and aid me. We are told that members of the Brotherhood rarely descend to lower levels, however, they are now sending their "Messenger" to communicate with us. There is much more to my story and the initiation, but due to limited space, it well be reserved for later issue of the Light Messenger. I will tell you however, that I have had confirmation of my role from many sources and I accept the responsibility of Anointer as a joyous task.

The Brotherhood promises to channel material directly for the Light Messenger. All of the material will be new. That is, there will be no reprints of any kind, nor will there be material from any other physical entities other than Richard, Sal, and myself. That is in accordance with the wishes and instructions of the Brotherhood. We offer our publication to all our friends in light. It is not a money making project, but is financed solely by donations.

Greetings to all brothers and sisters of the light!

We, the collective members of the Brotherhood Of Light, do enter your realm in order to assist you in the progress of your individual selves and in the progress of your collective whole. We do not seek to impose any dogma or concept upon man. We, like man, seek our continued evolvement. Our residence in your terms of thought, is upon the seventh astral plane, and though we seldom have direct relationship with your plane of existence, we are making the effort at this time to assist our brothers and sisters in their evolution.

Peggy: "Was that from the Messenger?"

David: "That was correct."

Peggy: "I feel that when he was here, the vibrations of the room were uplifted tremendously. Was that true?"

David: "That is so."

Peggy: "Do you have any further messages for us pertaining to this subject?"

David: "At this particular first issue, we the guides, will not have a specific message of our own. We will however, in future issues, deal with these subjects which you may insert reference to. We will deal with the true keys of meditation. We will also deal with effective communication with one's guides. We felt that was appropriate since from our viewpoint, we do not have the difficulty."

Peggy: "In the format of the Light Messenger, should we list the names of you who are our guides or should we just list the Brotherhood Of Light?

David: You should insert the names of the three entities here with the statement "and their guides" and then also the Brotherhood."

Peggy: "How many guides should we list for Sal?"

David: "You shall only list two for Sal. You do not list by name, just the words "and their guides."

Peggy: "I see. Also, what do you think of the logo of the lamp that we have selected for the newsletter?"

David: "I know the form. The star should be a seven pointed as symbolic of the seven energies and the seven planes. It would be inappropriate to leave out the plane of the Brotherhood in your symbology."

Peggy: "Oh you're right. I hadn't thought of that! Beautiful! Do you have any other suggestions for the first issue?
