(Note: I am publishing this blog a day early due to a potential scheduling problem.)
Starting today, Monday, February 15, 2021, and for the next week, we are going to be a tower of strength. Our inspiration for this comes from Proverbs 18:10-11: "The name of the Lord is a tower of strength, where the righteous may run for refuge. A rich man's wealth is his strong city, a towering wall, so he supposes."
As Nada-Yolanda writes in Birth of the Light Body, p. 28: "The name of the Lord is the nature of the Lord. The Lord symbolizes the laws of God. That nature is strength and is a refuge for all. The tower is our spine; the hidden wealth of a strong city or personal nation is the I Am Self."
Spinal Cord & Spinal Column
In anatomical terms, the term spine refers to two aspects. The first is the spinal cord that exits from the base of the brain and skull, and travels to the low back. The spinal cord and nerves are the body's communication system, which carries bioelectrical nerve impulses from the cerebrum to the rest of the body's organs, and from sensory receptors back to the cerebrum. (See drawing to the right.) The spinal cord is composed of nerves and nerve tracts that are delicate in structure, and thereby need protection.
The second aspect of the term spine is the spinal vertebrae that make up the bony spinal column or backbone. This is composed of seven cervical vertebrae in the posterior part of the neck, twelve thoracic vertebrae in back of the chest, five lumber vertebrae in the low back, and five sacral vertebrae that are fused together in the posterior section of the sacrum or pelvis. (See drawings of the spinal column at the end of this blog.)
These vertebrae enclose and protect the spinal cord from being physically damaged, just as the bony skull encapsulates and protects the brain. Moreover the spinal vertebrae form the central axis of the whole skeleton, which is like a tower.
The spinal cord and nerves are the expression of the power of strength-stability-steadfastness, whose corresponding color is lemon or bright yellow; whereas the vertebrae are the manifestation of the power of order, organization and system, whose correlating power is mustard yellow (the bony vertebral column and entire skeleton will be described in more detail when we focus on the power of order). As represented by the two yellow colors, both powers come under the auspices of the Second Ray of Understanding and Wisdom, whose color is yellow in all its various shades.
Above, when Nada-Yolanda wrote that the spine as a tower of strength, she was referring primarily to the spinal cord and nerves, which manifest our spiritual power of strength, stability and steadfastness.
AFFIRMATION & VISUALIZATION
Ask and receive: In your meditations this week, ask our Father-Mother God to reveal to you any weakness, instability or lack of spiritual resolve to be steadfast that you have in your thoughts, feelings and soul memories. You may have worked with these last week, but still some residue of them, or even additional ones, now come to your attention. When they do, call upon Spirit to show you the best way to transmute such limitations and blockages.
As an integral part of working on quickening and uplifting these weaknesses, affirm: I Am a tower of strength. Then, visualize a pole or column of lemon yellow light that is about 4-6 inches in diameter, which extends from the base of your skull to your sacrum at the base of your spine. The bright yellow pole encloses both the delicate spinal cord and the solid, tough backbone or spinal column. However, your primary focus is on your spinal cord.
Hold steadfastly for five-ten minutes to this bright yellow visualization. Feel your spine strengthening, stabilizing and becoming calm and balanced. During the day, whenever you find that your nerves are on edge, that you are wavering in your spiritual resolve to do what is right and good, or that you are irritated or inflamed by the situation you are in, re-affirm that you are a tower of strength; either out loud or inwardly in the silence. If you are with others, then go someplace for a few quiet moments, like into a bathroom or a separate room in your house or apartment, re-visualize the lemon-yellow light column that strengthens your spinal cord and radiates out to your entire nervous system.
Especially as the week progresses, you may envision a bright yellow pole of light that is as about a foot in diameter, which comes down from above and enters your crown chakra/cerebrum, continues down into and around your entire spinal cord, all the way to your sacrum or pelvis. This pole or column of lemon yellow light emanates from the angels, ascended masters and space visitors in the celestial and etheric realms. It anchors into the power-of-strength programming center in your cerebrum and then flows down and around your spinal cord.
From there, the bright yellow light radiates out via the spinal and cranial nerves to both sides of your body and all its organs and systems, and into your auric field. You are a lemon yellow flame of light. You are centered and strengthened in the yellow light of your I Am or God Self.
Near or at the end of the week, as one final visualization of the pole of lemon yellow light, see it being as wide as your shoulders and extending out a foot or more to either side of your shoulders, such that it also encloses your auric field. Depending on the size of your body, it therefore will be about 4 feet in diameter. It is easiest to envision this large pole of light when you are standing up, because it does not stop at your low back but rather it continues all the way down, around and through your legs and feet, and anchors solidly into the ground below you. When you visualize and sense this total enclosure, You/you are a tower of strength. In I Am or Christ consciousness, you now are the Lord and spiritual master of your four lower bodies. You are strength in action!
Common Misconceptions
Often, people use the word "strength" to describe the strength of one's muscles. Therefore, a strong man is one who lifts weights and is a good athlete. But this type of physical, muscular strength does not mean necessarily that a person is strong mentally, emotionally or at the soul-astral level; that he or she is strong spiritually. Moreover, in the twelve powers approach, "muscles" come under the faculty of power.
Note, too, how spiritually unawakened man has labeled a coward as one who has a "yellow streak" down his back. This is the opposite of the spiritual viewpoint of the twelve powers where a yellow column of light down the middle of his back indicates courage, steadfast adherence of the laws of God, and stability in every aspect of his or her life.
Sword of Truth
In one of my recent meditations, I felt a blockage, disruption and diminution of the flow of lemon yellow light down my spinal cord. My spinal column or backbone hurt in several places, particularly in my neck, in the middle of my back, and in my low back. Visualizing bright yellow light in my spine did not relieve my discomfort. Therefore, I called upon Spirit for additional help.
To my total surprise, Lord Michael, Archangel of the First Ray of Will, Power and Faith, overshadowed me. He proceeded to take his sword of truth with its 4-6 inch wide blade that was about 2-3 long and gradually thrust it down through my head and my whole spine. As a result, my back pain disappeared and I psychically saw and sensed that my spinal cord and column now were an open, clear channel of the bright yellow light of strength!
This experience illustrates how Spirit and the many agents of Spirit may work with you in unexpected, unique ways that complement, supplement and enhance your affirmations and visualizations of lemon yellow light. So, in your visions and dreams, be open to and welcome this coordinated action of the various Lords of the angelic and etheric realms. Lords Michael or El Morya may wield the sword of truth to add their First Ray power to the Second Ray strengthening of your spine!
Heal Your Children
At the end of your current meditation, or in future meditations later in the week, focus on the healing of your children and grandchildren, if you have such. If you do not have children, then concentrate of those individuals who in your life who have been like children to you, who have looked to you as their parent. Each child and grandchild is like a separate branch on your family tree. They are all parts of the nervous system of your family unit over several generations.
Start with your children and focus on each one of them, using the lemon yellow light visualization. See your son or daughter lit up with bright yellow light. See his or her spine straightening, strengthening and aligning itself with the will of our Lord God. Affirm that this child of God now follows the straight and narrow pathway of spiritual growth and transmutation, and thereby becomes a tower of strength.
Let go of your focus on the child's weaknesses, instabilities and insecurities. Focus instead on his or her indwelling I Am strength, stability and steadfastness. See each child being a loving, integral member of your extended family, able and ready to communicate with and help each other brother and sister, and to resolve any difficulties with you from your past conflicts and disagreements. As always, if there is some past action or blockage by any of your children that still irritates or disturbs you, despite your best efforts to release it, call upon Father-Mother God to forgive this child through you.
Focus on each child and grandchild separately, starting with the one or ones who need the most attention. Then, move to the group as a whole. See the yellow flame of strength surrounding and enlightening all of them, as if they are gathered together for a family reunion. As you see it, so shall every one of them be strengthened spiritually.
Global Projections
Toward the end of this week, extend your lemon-yellow-light projections to the whole planet, including to families in the East and the West. Focus especially on the 144,000 elect in every nation worldwide, for per usual, they are the ones who will be most receptive to your visualizations and the most likely to put their strength into action at a new and higher level.
Affirm and and have faith that each of the 144,000 now are focusing anew on their children and grandchildren in order to enhance and quicken their indwelling strength, stability and steadfastness; until their whole family glows with lemon yellow light. See the whole family of man on Earth being strong, stable and steadfast, with each family being a grounding rod for the anchoring of lemon yellow light into the planet, for being channels for the ascended masters, angelic guardians and space visitors who are helping us to prepare the way for the Second Coming: the coming again of all mankind into I Am or Christ awareness, and the return of Sananda/Jesus as the Lord of Earth, the Prince of this planet.
Realize too that your projections to those on Earth radiate to those in the astral planes, especially those who in the past have been part of your family; who maybe have been a son or daughter who already has made his or her transition. Especially those in the higher astral planes--the fifth, sixth and seventh astral planes--are working with us and other light workers on Earth to suffuse all the astral planes with lemon yellow light, with strength, stability and steadfastness. Earth, astral and etheric planes become one!
As we see it, so shall it be. Amen. Thank You, Father-Mother God.

To the left are two drawings of the spinal or vertebral column. The colors used have no spiritual significance, but help to clearly distinguish between the different groups of vertebrae: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral and coccyx. Note how the five fused sacral vertebrae (in green in the drawing) form the posterior section of the pelvis.
Notice, too, how when viewing the spinal column from behind, it is a straight vertical line. But, when seen from the side, it has multiple curves in it. This provides flexibility and mobility to the spinal column.

During this week, you may want to re-read the chapter on "Strength" in Birth of the Light Body. When you do, no doubt your will find further insight and inspiration in your focus on the second spiritual power of strength.
