Every time you have said yes to what the Daime is offering you to see and transform. Every tear you've shed, every realization you've had, every opinion about yourself and about reality that you've changed based on a new revelation, every breath you've taken in your heart has been part of making CHLQ the space that it is: safe, Light-filled, utterly dedicated to healing and spiritual awakening.
That faith, courage, and belief in the goodness of our mission is what gave us the strength to free the Daime from government interference in 2009. We not only freed ourselves and many others, but we contributed a drop to the sea of freedom. That 10-year battle seems even more worth it today, given the fraught situation in our country and world. We all have enjoyed the fruits of that successful battle through the Daime we get to drink in the various expressions of our mission. Anyone who feels called to come and heal and wake up with us can do so without external fear. The result of all our sincere efforts and faith is that literally everyone who comes to CHLQ reports that they feel safe on all levels. They experience being received with love, caring, and kindness. That this space and this place have those demonstrable qualities has been our wish, our determination, our mission, our guidance, and our life's work.
I honor you, thank you, and offer you my respect and love, whatever your ongoing relationship to CHLQ may be. The door is always open for those who come with sincerity and respect. There are no hidden agendas.
I said above that we are secure on almost all levels. The last level we are negotiating at the moment is physical and, once again, governmental, although not at all in the category of when we were being threatened with prison for practicing our religion. We are in the final stages of our over 2-year negotiation with the county in which we live. The dispute has been about what we have the right to construct on Jane and my land. The final stage of that negotiation, which has been long, complicated, and expensive, is that we are going to convert the composting toilets -that you all have contributed to, so to speak- into flush toilets with a full septic system. Even though we are doing this to appease the county, it will in fact be an upgrade to our project.
And it's going to cost 13 thousand dollars.
You have already given what is most precious to our mission: your heart, your prayer, and your truth. Now I'm asking you to consider helping us finish this challenge by generously contributing once more to CHLQ, this time materially. Any amount is welcome. And it is also tax deductible if you wish it to be. We are going to finish this project because the many people who come and will come to us deserve and need this safe refuge/school/hospital of love, truth, and authentic spirituality.
I had a vision recently. I was asked to look and see the state of our mission at the House of White Eagle. I saw a dome over our land. The dome is constructed of shining silver ribs of condensed Light. Between the ribs I saw shimmering white material, like vibrating strong feathers. We are protected, held, and affirmed.
This most basic, ground-level material improvement that we are making will complete the securing of our mission. Please help as you feel called and able.
