Like a Sister
a witness of Elizabeth Clare Prophet and the ascended masters
by John Fanuzzi
Over the years, I built many things for Mother:
the altar, the balcony in the court, altar stands, furniture. I remodeled
her childhood home in New Jersey and also worked on her house. At one
point, Mother asked me to come in a remodel her bedroom, which I did.
After the project was done, I was attending a conference in San Antonio
and ran into her in the hallway. She completely ignored me and I felt
so unappreciated. All these ideas went through my head. We got back
to Montana and I attended a wedding. Mother was there and I decided
to stay out of her way. As she walked down the main aisle, she turned
and walked straight over to me and gave me a big hug. “Thank you
for my new bedroom,” she said. I realized I had passed a test
of non-attachment.
I had many fiery initiations and disciplines with
Mother over the years. A short time before Mother retired, I said to
her, “Mother, I’m not afraid of you anymore. I love you
as a sister.” She tenderly looked at me and said, “Why did
it take you so long?”
