Dear Friend of the Academy—

The Divine has brought us to a new and important year for our deeper understanding of the mysteries of life and the promise of the Eternal Christ on our planet. Although the planet still seethes with old hostilities and bitter rivalries between East and West, North and South, the work of The Keys of Enoch® continues to assemble the missing pieces of the past and the future of our planet. For example, in the mountains of Africa we have witnessed giant footprints in stone that may be older than 40 million years. The Academy is dedicated to finding these breakthroughs of forgotten history while forging ahead for a positive future. This year, 2004, will be a time that will require the best of positive sacrifices of each of us to be the “light unto the nations!”

In space, in spite of initial setbacks in the rendezvous with our sister planet Mars, the turning point of finding the real history of Mars and our solar system is at hand. While searching for answers to old mysteries, the American orbiters will bombard the surface of Mars with signals that will activate new ones. Pictures from these orbiters will introduce humanity to a new Mars, one that is not just a massive dead planet but rather a fascinating fossil containing many life forms. As specialists look closer at the planet’s youth we will find that the atmosphere was thick and heavy billions of years ago and that the greenhouse-effect was strong, allowing massive water flow which carved vast valley landscapes hundreds of times larger than their counterparts on Earth. Later a planet that had an enormous greenhouse was subject to rapid change, the atmosphere of Mars was thinned and stolen by planetary change, and the planet cooled. Except for the scraps frozen into the polar caps, its water was lost to space or stored away as sub-surface ice. This happened billions of years ago when Mars was more like Earth as a planetary sister and had experiments of life that took a different direction. We will now meet with these experiments.

In our hearts and minds the most important frontier of work in 2004 will be solid research in and use of the divine feminine, which is the inner compassion and creativity of the Holy Spirit Shekinah at work in the world. The prayerful fusion with the work of the Holy Spirit is needed for the activation of the true “wisdom” needed by the human race according to the vision of the biblical scroll of Joel, chapter 2. Unlike “The DaVinci Code” and other writings based on the fictional versions of the marriage of Jesus with Mary Magdalene, it is important to teach people to go beyond the science fiction and study the genuine historic documents of the Pistis Sophia and the linguistic and theological commentaries that we have rendered. These are documents that show respect and reverence for the feminine side of the divine nature in all of us when wedded to the Holy Spirit.

Let us continue to pray for peace in the world, especially in the hot spots of the Middle East and in the frontiers of Korea-China.

To the future generation and their posterity we commit our future in doing the work of the Most High God.
