David Barnes — These Temple of Light services are an opportunity to come forth in the creative cycle and share what is currently moving in the heavens of spirit, and allow a full-heart love response to return to heaven.Today we have a very good friend, Tony Palombo, who's given his whole life to music and sound and poetry and lyrics, to spiritual expression and leadership at all levels of life and artistry, sharing in communion, and sharing in particular his love response to the LORD of Lords. Tony, it's such a delight to have you here, and I know that you will present yourself, so I really don't have to say very much—but a fine introduction to you would be to play a song, lyrics and music, that you wrote, with you singing this song of joy and thanksgiving. So here it is:
The Earth Is The Lord’s
The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof,
The world and they that dwell therein
I come in the midst of Heaven to bless the fullness thereof.
I stand in midst of the Earth and welcome the fullness thereof.
The Earth is the Lord’s and the Fullness thereof.
Behold, I come in the sea and put my hand on the tides thereof.
And, lo, I come in the wind and put my hand on the currents thereof.
The Earth is the Lord’s and the rhythms thereof.
Behold I come in the Earth and put my hand on the Seasons thereof.
And, lo, I come in the Sun and put my hand on the Fire thereof.
The Earth is the Lord’s and the Seasons thereof.
I come in the towering mountains, I come in the rolling hills,
I come in the blue-green forests, I come in the sweet daffodil.
The Earth is the Lord’s and the beauty thereof.
I mount the sky on wings of eagles,
I run on hooves through the boundless plains.
I plunge the deep in whales of the ocean
I nourish my own in the fields of grain.
The Earth is the Lord’s and the kingdoms thereof.
Who will stand with me in the midst of the fullness thereof?
And put a hand of care on the boundaries of the fullness thereof?
The Earth is the Lord’s and the boundaries thereof.
Behold, I’ll come to thee and put my fire in the heart thereof
And, lo, I’ll come through thee and give my love to the fullness thereof.
The Earth is the Lord’s and the Power thereof.
Behold, I’ll come to thee and put my thoughts on the wheel thereof.
And, lo, I’ll come through thee and shed my Light on the fullness thereof.
The Earth is the Lord’s and the Wisdom thereof.
And, yes! I’ll come to thee and put my breath in the flesh thereof.
And, yes! I’ll come through thee and share my Life with the fullness thereof.
The Earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof.
Who will stand with me and welcome the fullness thereof
And who will dwell with me in the heaven of the fullness thereof?
The Earth is the Lord’s and the heaven thereof.
Come and share with me in blessing with the Spirit of Love
The world and they that dwell in the Earth, and the fullness thereof.
The Earth is the Lord’s and the People thereof.
The Earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof
The world and they that dwell therein.
The Earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof.

Anthony — Thank you David. That song touches me deeply. It was written in a time when I was coming forth in my awareness of my angelic presence in the world, and was quite a moment in my life. I appreciate you playing it this morning. I'd like to preface my offering by saying I'm privileged to be with you, and I appreciate the invitation to focus the consideration of Angelic Presence in Heaven—and it is a privilege to be with so many angelic colleagues. I feel honored and privileged to be amongst you this morning.
When I was attending a music conference back along the way at Sunrise Ranch, at the end of the conference Martin Cecil give a prayer; and I loved the prayer so much that I put it to music. I wrote a hymn, and it was sung once in the Dome Chapel; and also I heard it played on an organ in Baton Rouge when PenDell Pittman came down to do a concert. It's never been sung by a large choir, but the words are very beautiful and I like to offer them as an opening devotion: “In the stillness of our yielded hearts, O Lord, we come before Thee in humility. We tremble in Thy presence, aware of Thy majesty, of Thy power, of Thine Almighty love. Holy, holy, holy Lord God of Hosts. Thy Hosts arise on earth to let Thy tone resound again, to speak Thy Word in all the hearts of men in every land. Behold, I make all things new. Aumen.”
PenDell Pittman — (with overtone chanting) O heart of God, I come to Thee, in Thy fullness of beauty, Thy wisdom and peace, grace, kingdom and power and glory. O heart of God. I come to Thee. O Heart of God, I come to Thee, to Thee.

Anthony — Very beautiful PenDell; thank you for the beautiful overtone chant. So with that we open the door to consider together our presence in heaven as angels. I've been aware of my own angelic presence very acutely, in the last two years particularly—aware of my body being my servant, or my vehicle, very keenly aware of that. I'm sure you have as well. We are more vividly aware that we dwell in an invisible realm, but we very much observe the visible realm where our bodies move about, or we move them about in care of our world and in service to the One.
I've been particularly focused in the word “creation” for the last several bloggings that I've done. I don't know how many of you read my Blog, Healing Tones [healingtones.org/2022/04/] but I do Blog quite a bit every week; and “creation” has been a topic that I have been very keenly interested in. I've done a lot of reading of various scientific papers, particularly in the realm of quantum physics. So I'm going to offer a perspective and see what you might think of it; and you might have something to say as I open this particular consideration.
There is a phenomenon in the world of quantum physics or the quantum world—I like to think of the quantum world as being the invisible realm of heaven, where preform is present, awaiting to be given form. It takes me back to the Book of Genesis where God created man on the sixth day in Chapter One. And then He created all of creation; and that was, as Uranda put it, in the realm of preform, before it became form. And in the Second Chapter He creates Man from the dust of the ground, and He does so as a means to let what is invisible, the preform in the heaven which he had already created—which we had already created actually with Him, so that what was in the heaven could be given form on earth. And that was the reason, as Uranda presents it in the paper, [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2020/05/the-vibrational-sphere-from-man-with.html] for creating Man: to bring forth creation. It very specifically says in the Book of Genesis that these things were in existence before they were in the earth. You get the point here, I think: that there was something created before it was actually given form, and we came on the scene to bring it into form.
Now, in the realm of quantum physics there is a phenomenon, as I started to say earlier, that when a wave of light is observed, in whatever fashion: it could be taken a picture of, or it could be thought of in the mind of the experimenter. It doesn't matter how it is observed or considered. The wave turns into a particle, so that it has become known as a fact that light is both wave and particle. But I think the most interesting part of this experiment is that it becomes a particle only when it is observed—before that it is a wave. It's in a preform, or in a “realm of infinite possibilities”, as Deepak Chopra says. So we have a part to play in materializing the immaterial, a very specific role, and we've been doing it. We've been doing that, not even being aware of the fact we've been doing that. The more you give something your attention, the more it begins to increase and develop. You begin to add particles to it, because you are observing it, and it's only in our own consciousness that we actually have a world at all. Otherwise it's an illusion out there. I mean, “Is it real?” It's only real because it's in our consciousness, but we created it in our consciousness. Now, we know these things. Martin used to speak of “recreation in consciousness” back along the way. [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2022/06/the-vibrational-matrix.html] We recreate in our consciousness the image that we might have a of a person or some situation.
We are concerned, I'm sure, with our function in the heaven being to receive what is coming down from God out of His heaven into our consciousness, into the heaven of this particular world. Our responsibility is in this heaven. How do these patterns of the new earth come out of the new heaven into our consciousness? In what form? Well, I think they come in the form of our thoughts, in meditation; they come as a whole, not imperfect, but perfect. It my work with attunements over the years, I've taken note of the fact that while I'm sharing attunement with a physical body—I have been taught to do this and I do it quite naturally—I consider the part that I'm offering an attunement to, the person, or the particular organ, or whatever I may be working with, as already whole and complete, not fixed, not partial, not non-functional. I consider it as totally functional, healthy and whole. That's the image that I am receiving out of the heaven for this person, for this person's physical body. Then what I am offering is attunement to wholeness. “Wilt thou be made whole?” I don't think Jesus said, “Well, what's your problem? Maybe I can fix it.” No. “Would you be made whole?” And when He asked, I don't know what the answer might have been, but apparently it was, “Yes, I would love to be made whole.” So that was His approach, to offer wholeness in His healing work. So I think these images of the new earth come into our consciousness out of the new heaven in this way—a vision of wholeness.
In my song I mentioned “the boundaries”. It was peculiar that that particular word came up when I was writing the song. It just came up: our care of the boundaries. I have seen the boundaries. I have seen the boundary where wave becomes particle. In my seminar attendance this has been brought out in videos, where actually you can see particles jumping out of an invisible realm into a visible realm. It's almost as though there's an exchange between these two realms. Cynthia Bourgeault has something very beautiful to say about these two realms. They interact with one another; they dance together. The invisible and the visible realms dynamically work with each other on the same image. I don't know if you've ever read any of Cynthia Bourgeault's books, but her book The Meaning of Mary Magdalene is just phenomenal; and if you have an opportunity to read it, it’s really beautiful. She has an ability to see into this imaginal realm, and to understand the imaginal realm.
There is an imaginal realm. It's the heart actually, where the images that come down in a preform from the heaven find a place in our hearts, in human hearts, to begin to be received, and then to begin to be paid attention to, so that in doing so these images actually particalize and become more material. It's our function as creators to create form at this level of creation. So as angels, we play this role in this imaginal realm. Not imagination. That's a different thing. It's the imaginal where images appear, waiting to be given form. This interests me a whole lot—it really does. I'm quite fascinated by this whole realm. And I think that the realm of quantum physics gives evidence of the fact that the human mind has come back into heaven. Lucifer. There are many evidences in my reading, where I see brilliant insight into the invisible realm; and I do feel very surely that not only have our minds come into heaven, but I think the mind of man is becoming more connected upward. There are many who are expressing heavenly perspective, as you know. So I'm very encouraged and happy about that.
But I know that my own mind has been privileged to be welcomed back into heaven. That's Lucifer, as you know of course. [greatcosmicstory.blogspot.com/2021/06/lucifer-transparent-mind.html] So that's where I am in my journey, as an incarnate angel right now, and I continue to pursue this realm of creation, not just as an individual but with others. And this is why I'm glad to be with you today, because we provide a larger lens, a collective lens, where we each have a part to contribute. And through this larger lens, this collective lens we can see more together of what is trying to come down into the earth to create a new earth out of the new heaven. So that's the nuts and bolts of my consideration today. I have no more to say at this moment, so if any of you would like to say something you're welcome.

Steve Ventola — Tony, you allude to the fact that our hearts need to be pure in order to receive the sensing of that wave, and when our hearts are pure, then we can have a true sensing. And what we've been made aware of, of the things of heaven, we were privileged to have that oversight. I like how you paused to allow for a configuration to be received into your consciousness; and I think all of us need to do the same, positioning our hearts upward, in a letting go of what's been causing tainted images; to actually allow for something to be received that is pure from heaven, from our pure hearts. And that takes some work.
Anthony — Thank you. So I want to say something about my experience with music back along the way. Back in the seventies I got the inspiration to write a book about using sound in attunement. I was very excited about the possibility that the “tone” that we always heard Martin talk about, that this tone actually has a musical aspect to it; and our instruments, our so-called “harps”, are musical instruments, and they have various tones going on in them. So I did the research and I wrote the book. At the very same time that I was greatly inspired to do this, one person in Boulder, Colorado—Jonathan Goldman—began to develop his seminars in sacred sound. Now this was at the same time I was thinking about doing something with sound and attunement—in the very year. And I had a vision of what was possible, but here was somebody who was implementing what I was seeing. Alright. Now, anytime I may have a vision, that doesn't mean I have to get busy and do something about it. I'm a part of a larger body; and as Martin said in a recent service that David posted, the body is not all head. My body has a head, but it has parts; there's toes and feet and arms and all that. So there are many aspects to the body of God on earth—mankind—and only a few can fit up in the cranium. Anyway, some of us have the ability to think; I guess you could say right thinking, and then others have the immediate ability to do right action, do things. I couldn’t even afford to do what Jonathan Goldman did, and has been doing all these years. I took a couple of his workshops and I was quite impressed. So my point is that we play a part in a much larger context. Just like when you were sounding those overtones PenDell, the vibration of my voice right now is setting off tones that you can’t even hear. Your voice creates overtones. You don’t have to understand how PenDell does it, to do that. Any sound you make has overtones. It also has undertones, okay. So sound goes in all directions; not just horizontally to the ears of people. The sound goes spherically out, okay. So you have overtones and undertones. Well, there are vibrations set in motion by what we do and say that we don't even see.
Gary Courtland Miles — It's such a delightful thing, Tony; and if we want to check our vibration, if we're not delighted, we're not in the experience. And it’s just a sheer delight to share with you, and to see you, and to hear you, hear your music and your tone. Thank you for being with us today. I love you, man.
David Barnes — Tony, I think what we're experiencing with you this morning is in a very subtle way the acknowledgement of the opening of a portal. I remember two or three months ago, considering with Robert and Steve and Terry and Carol and Anne what might occur in this late June Temple of Light Service. It was felt that there is an opening and an opportunity for something significant to occur. Week after week it was unknown; it was in that yet unimagined realm, that spacious place of stillness and emptiness. And the requirement was to sit serenely, relative to the opportunity we are sharing this morning. Life and heaven were filled with opportunities in other ranges of activity but here was one field where we could feel the urging of the spirit to bring a clear idea into the consciousness of the group responsible for bringing forth this event today. And then suddenly, connecting with what you had been sharing through your website, Healing Tones, [healingtones.org/2022/02/] and what others of us had been sharing, something began to come clearly into mind—Lucifer was able to receive because we'd been sharing in similar ranges to what you were writing about, related to the awareness that love substance fills the universe, this fire of plasma being which is looking for a means of transmission through human consciousness, through heart and mind, through speech, through action. And it became apparent that we should invite you to be with us and initiate some thinking along this these lines, about the fiery plasma nature of the angelic and Archangelic body which fills the earth already and is calling for transformation, so that each and all can move in accord with this high vibration of light becoming literal light in human form, angels incarnate as we live and serve together. So something was opened here, that we're going to find opening more expansively through all of us; but also in the broad world of human attunement with God, which will open it up out there even as it opens up here in the realms spirit for which we are responsible. I feel so grateful for this work in birthing something new, as it was evident to us over the last few months; and now through this portal that has been opened through our sharing together here we prepare the way and Behold—we hold in the womb what it is that will be birthed through us and through others. And we'll come back again in the future and touch it again on the spiral above, and it will be richer and clearer, and it will offer another portal at that point, a portal opening for blessing, as you have shared and blessed us all, and we together with you let the blessing extend naturally beyond us.
Robert Merriman — Tony, I'm so glad you're here, and it's so wonderful to be with you today; it's been a long time. You touched on physics earlier, and I was thinking about the thing that we humans experience as time relative to what you were saying about the imaginal realm. Yesterday I wrote a response to a service that I read and received an answer back which developed into something very creative. But I had this experience when I wrote it. For the first time it was like I didn't write it. I read it. I read that response, and it happened to end up on the word processor in front of me because what came out was something very different than what I started with. And I got a little ways and I said, “Oh, that actually goes like this instead, and it was like I saw what it was as I opened my heart further to it. And I feel like yesterday I was experiencing where you took us to today. So was I with you as you were preparing for the service or was I already here at this point in time? In the Lord all those separations disappear and we're just here and now, it's for forever, and it's wonderful, and you bring this to remembrance so beautifully for me. Thank you.
Deborah Starrs — Tony, a phrase keeps going through my head, that eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has it entered into the mind of man what the Lord has in store for those who love and serve Him. I think we're now beginning to see and hear and have newness emerging into our minds; and we see that also coming forth through the mind of man. Unthinkable things are now thinkable, and the divine technology is at our fingertips. And I think there's a great humility in exercising what we understand of it at this point, so that the unfoldment of the greater works may take place—these things shall you do, He said, and greater. So there is an exhilaration that kind of zings in with that; but I'm also reminded that in sorrow not dejected and in joy not overjoyed, because this is really our birthright, and our responsibility to steward these things in a right and practical way also. So it's terrific to connect with you again in this way, and I look forward to more connection in the future. Thank you.
Pamela Gray — Tony, I would love to offer my voice of thanksgiving this morning, for your spirit and your Word made flesh, made music, made sound and vibration, and it goes forth because it's one voice that we all share together. Robert, you made the comment that it's been a long time, and in a sense it has. There's been a sleepiness that had occurred over the body for a period of time. But when you think of the overall picture, okay there's a body that's awake right now, and the time is now, and it's just the right time to be alive and to be full of the spirit that says, “Yes, the earth is the Lord’s, and it is going to be restored now.” It is going to be returned now to His Body, His great big beautiful Body of such differentiations. As everyone was speaking I was cherishing the differentiated spirit that comes forth to His Body, because we're in place now and wherever we are in the world we're doing the work. And the yoke is easy and the burden is light, because His spirit is divine light.
Robert Kauffman — Tony, I want to say something about what this service hour has meant to me. Years ago I went to a Zoo one afternoon and I happened to be amongst a crowd that watched a little form be born right in front of us; and after it dropped on the ground it stretched, it sniffed its body, his mother licked it, then she walked away. And then it started walking around and this image of newness was absolutely startling and stunning. And it just took it in stride; this is neat, let's go check this out, another animal. There must have been 100 people watching this, absolutely transfixed. That's the feeling I get today. We are all discovering a new to be ourselves. And thank you for bringing that spirit. You opened something up.
Christina Pivarnik — Tony, I love being with you this morning. For me this has been a beautiful hour of prayer. We've had some preconceived ideas of what prayer might be. In religious terms it's always been an asking for something. But we all know differently than that. Prayer is an opportunity for blessing. You made comment of attunement earlier, and I always feel that that is prayer, that prayer of wholeness that you spoke of. And I live my life in a spirit of prayer. In all that I do there is this beautiful prayer going on, of blessing and encompassment and love, of whatever is happening in the moment. And this moment has been just precious. So thank you so much for your focus for it.
Anthony — I have been very aware that the way I see the world, how I translate what I see in the world, is very important because in that moment that I'm observing the world, I'm also creating the world based on how I translate what I see. I'm thinking of the particular gift that Uranda gave us of Attunement. That is an amazing technology of love: to be able to actually bring someone into my consciousness, between my hands, and offer them the opportunity to experience love, to experience healing. So if I look out at the world and I complain about it, or condemn it, or I think it's bad, or even good, I'm actually making a judgment on it, and fixing it where it is, not allowing it to evolve and to be made new. That really impressed itself upon me in the service of Attunement. I don't offer attunement to a tumor. Why would I want to increase the life of a tumor? Why would I want to increase sickness in someone by thinking of them as being sick—seeing them, observing them, and judging them as being sick. What I project in my translation of what I'm seeing: for example, disease is a part of the healing process, and death is the final resolution of disease, if the body is dying of an illness. What I mean is, the way we see things, the way we translate what we see is a moment of re-creation. Maybe I'm preaching to the choir here, but this is the way I've been seeing things. For example, Ukraine, or what's happening right now with the Supreme Court. How do we see these things? Are they good or bad? Well, that’s not for me to say is it? They are what they are, and they'll keep moving if I don't fix them in my consciousness as being a certain way. If I offer them love. Love is a transforming power, right? So anyway, attunement is an amazing technology of love. I'm just so delighted that we have that from Uranda. So it's been a beautiful hour.
Steve Ventola — Tony, it's been great to be with you and the thought of allowing something new to transpire during our June service is happening; and it's happening as long as we release any judgments of forms of how we think things should be. Fire—we feel the fire of the cleansing of our hearts so the new can be received. And as you were speaking I came up with phrase. Uranda talked about, Behold, I create! Behold, as I observe, I create. We can observe from heaven. As we've all been made aware of, we are—if we use the words in a new way—we are the Priesthood here on earth, and the priesthood has a holy place, a Holy of Holies and an outer court. That outer court stands out in terms of the encampment for the whole body of mankind. But we need to acknowledge the place we fill as the Priesthood here in the earth. If it wasn't for us receiving purely from our hearts from heaven the world wouldn't have a connection point. Our connection point is vital, and it is vital to acknowledged that. There's been a sleepiness in the Body because of that connection not being seen and not acknowledged. That's why we've had a division, a schism, as sleepiness, from the time that we've been trained for, way back when. Imagine if we've continued in a focus of spirit on earth providing our place where we would be. I think we'd be further along. But we're picking the pieces back up and we need to acknowledge that. The work is light as we allow it to be received. But I feel there is a burning that happens. I know this is burning inside of me, a fire of letting old things go, and at times it's very uncomfortable. Let's feel the uncomfort of that but at this same time. let's embrace the tree of life—not just trying not to do good or evil, but embrace the tree of life, giving into life of what's needed here and now. Now, as I feel the fire, maybe I would call out who would like to close our time with a devotion. I’d like to open that up for anyone who feels compelled accordingly.
Anthony — Steve, I was wondering if I could offer an Aramaic prayer in the tongue that Jesus spoke, that opens the way forward; the forward movement of our particular grouping, clearing the way, clearing the path of things that would hold us back. That's the purpose of this particular Lord's Prayer. Would that be a fitting thing? I've done it before, but not with this group. It is a sound-based language. The words go out to accomplish what they are meant to, and it is a sound-based language. It is not a meaning-based language. So can I close with that? Would that be fitting?
YouTube Video
Steve Ventola — Wonderful Tony. Great way to close. Thank you everyone. Our next Temple of Light Service will be with Anne Blaney and Deborah Starrs on July 24th. We look forward to that time. And let’s hold this vibration, remembering that as we observe we create, and let’s create heaven here on earth. Now Robert has some music.
