     What are we fighting for in Iraq?

     We fight to set free the people from the rulership of blood thirsty killlers. That's what it's all about. That's what we have in America. That's what people in every nation deserve. That's what the people in Iraq deserve. They deserve to live free from the terror which blood thirsty killers would impose upon them from government positions of power. Democracy means that the good people have a chance to put good people in government, and to keep bad people out. Just as American's have that freedom, so too do the Iraqi people deserve to have it.

     May you pass every test.

     Morality requires that the course you choose in Iraq would be the one most likely to leave the Iraqi people in a state of constitutional freedom comparable to that which we enjoy in the United States.

     May you pass every test.

     When considering the best form of government for our church, it would be useful to recognize an important fact, that our church exists within a larger national framework of life and culture which is dedicated to the safe guarding of the flame of freedom. The flame of freedom, as you know, only has its being, in the heart of the common man. It is his freedom, the freedom of the individual, that our national and state governments were established to protect and defend. Freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, the right to a jury trial, and freedom from cruel and unusual punishments, are a few of the basic rights that comprise the definition of liberty.

     It is also important to understand that this larger national framework that we see dedicated to the protection of the flame of liberty was established through the direct sponsorship of the Ascended Masters. That means that the ocean of freedom that the American people swim in, was an ocean extended to them out of the very Heart of God.

     Now, just as there would be something quite disconcerting about the presence of a tumor of anti-intelligence within an otherwise intelligent brain, I would point out that there is something quite discordant about a situation in which an organization would exist as a byproduct of this environment, really having life only because of this environment, one in which freedom is championed, one in which state and national laws guarantee the right for this organization to exist, a right than cannot be taken away without due process of law, yet within the walls of said organization, the core principles of freedom are given no special regard. I am speaking about the situation that obtains within the walls of Church Universal and Triumphant, and the Summit Lighthouse, in which the leadership refuses to institutionalize the principle of due process of law, which is in fact the keystone in the arch of liberty. Or you might say, that the principle of due process is the spine in the body of freedom. In both cases, whichever metaphor you prefer, if you remove it, the keystone in the first instance, or the spine in the second, the flame of freedom collapses. That's right, the flame of freedom collapses. A point we will return to.

     Within the larger context, within which this organization exists, we see that there are two major threats to the freedom of the people. The first avenue by which freedom can be denied to an individual is through anarchy, where criminal elements steal property and life for short term gain. And for this reason, governments are instituted among men, as the Declaration of Independence proclaims, to establish order, and to safeguard the rights of the people. The second avenue by which freedom can be denied to an individual, is through the misuse of government power.

     Government protects us from anarchy by establishing a police force which will arrest and imprison the criminal element. But this very police power of the state, if that power falls into the hands of the criminal element, can be used against the people in a manner as least as damaging, and sometimes more damaging to the rights of the people.

     The people protect themselves from the misuse of government power through the judicial branch of government, which guarantees to the people, that government power is exercised only according to the principle of due process of law. This is a safeguard. The principle of due process is like unto a shield that will protect the individual from the misuse of government power. Due process means just that. Due process. It means an evaluation process which is due the individual by right. Before the hammer of state power can fall on an individual, an orderly process of evaluation must be initiated to determine whether the principles of justice require that hammer to fall. This evaluation process makes sure that the power of the state is being exercised in a proper manner.

     To illustrate the importance of this principle, we can take a situation in which the police believe a crime has been committed, and they identify the person who they think is the culprit, and they arrest him, and throw him in jail. Each of these steps in which state power is exercised against an individual is reviewable by a court according to due process principles. The police must adhere to due process principles in the investigation of the crime, and in the arresting and jailing of the suspect. One of the first principles of due process, is that a suspect can only be arrested if an actual crime is committed. That means a law must have been broken. The process of the arrest itself must be a legitimate outpicturing of the process of codified law. A police officer cannot just arrest and throw someone in jail on a whim, or for the fun of it. If the suspect can show that he was thrown into jail without just cause, the court will order him set free. When you hear the term Habeus Corpus, this is what is being referred to. It is one of the brightest stars in the due process constellation. So, before there is any trial, the individual has due process rights that allow him to expose the misuse of police power even at this early stage.

     If it can be shown that the police acted properly in arresting the suspect, and there is just cause to hold him over for trial, there is another series of steps that the principle of due process requires, before the hammer of the state can fall on the head of the individual in the form of a punishment. The most important part of the due process guarantee at this point, is the one which divests the police of any further involvement in the decision (trial) process. Yes they give testimony at trial, but they have no further power to directly control the fate of the suspect. The case is handed to a prosecutor which will look at what the police have gathered in terms of evidence, and decide how to proceed. The prosecuting attorney having no vested interest in whether the police have identified the right suspect or not, or whether they have gathered enough evidence for a conviction, or whether the evidence is valid, brings a more objective view to the situation at this stage. This is part of the process of providing checks against the misuse of power. Only after an independent review of the evidence will the prosecutor decide to proceed to trial.

     The right to a jury trial is the next most important element of due process. Here again, the prosecutor is not given the power to decide whether or not the suspect is guilty. Yes, the prosecutor presents the evidence to a jury. But the power to decide guilt or innocense is taken out of his hands, and given to the jury. This again illustrates this important aspect of due process, in which the power to decide guilt or innocence is taken out of the hands of the people who have a vested interest in the outcome. Indeed, the prosecutor has a point of view, and would only bring a case to trial if he or she was convinced of the suspect's guilt. Lots of time and effort has been put into gathering up the elements of the case, all of which points to the guilt of the suspect. The prosecutor then, has a vested interest in the outcome. He believes he has done his job well. And he believes he has fingered the guilty party. As far as he is concerned, we might as well throw the switch right now. But wisdom and common sense say, not so fast. The system will not allow him to make the decision. We find a group of people who are as objective as human nature can be, who vow to consider the evidence objectively, and we place the decision of guilt or innocence in their hands. Is the evidence sufficient to convict the suspect of a crime? They will decide. Not the judge, not the prosecutor, and not the police. But a group of fellow citizens. The accused is allowed to present his side of the story before that jury as well. When the jury has heard both sides of the story, heard all the witnesses testify, and had an opportunity to examine all the evidence, only then is a judgment of guilt or innocence reached.

     But that is not the end of the process. Another very bright star in the constellation of due process, is the right to appeal. We give everyone who has been found guilty of a crime, in which the hammer of the state, in the form of punishment has been allowed to rightly and justly, we believe, to fall on the suspects head, the right to appeal the decision up to yet one additional level of objectivity, and sometimes more. Conviction in state courts can be appealed to state supreme courts, and even beyond into the federal system if there are federal issues at bar. Convictions at the federal district court level can be appealed at the federal appeals court level, and then up to the U.S. Supreme Court. And to top that off, if that was not enough safety built into the system, we give State Governors and the U.S. President the unchallengeable power to pardon people and to commute their sentences at their respective levels.

     What does this say about the conclusion reached by our founding fathers in regards to the capacity of the people to make right decisions about the fate of other people, especially about the fate of people they don't like? It was their considered judgment that the human race is error prone to a very high degree.

     We go through all of these steps because we know from history, that when imperfect people have power in their hands, the forces of darkness will target them for the purpose of creating pain and mischief and injustice in the lives of other people. From a comprehensive reading of history, the founders of our system of government knew that great damage had been done by unchecked government power throughout the history of human civilization. For those who will take the time to educate themselves on this subject, we see that there are innumerable illustrations of this peculiar tendency of human beings to uniformly alignment themselves to a misconception, and then, marching behind a banner of certainty in this regard, go to the nearest tree, and with great hurrahs, to lynch the innocent man.

     And so, on the one hand, experience has taught us wisdom, in not placing all power into the hands of any one person, or group of individuals. In our system of government, one branch makes the laws, another enforces the laws, and another adjudicates the laws. We separate that out so power cannot be consolidated. And on the other hand, we enforce adherence to principles of fairness wherever the power of government comes into contact with the people. That's what due process means. Wisdom enforces principles of fairness upon the people who exercise power. We don't leave it to chance. These principles of fairness are mandated by law, and thus they have become institutionalized in the larger American culture.

     In fact, we make it an offense against the law itself, punishable by fine and jail time, for any government official to knowingly sidestep the requirements of due process. That is how important this principle is to the survival of freedom in our nation, or any nation for that matter.

     Now, this is not just the context in which every American lives, it is the context in which this organization exists. Outside of the walls of this organization, the American people live and have their being in this ocean of wisdom. It is wisdom that recognizes human weaknesses. It is a wisdom that recognizes the propensity of power to corrupt the judgment of weak and imperfect individuals. It is a wisdom that recognizes the importance of ensuring the application of the principles of fairness and justice to all people. It is wisdom that recognizes the importance of designing, implementing, and maintaining safeguards, so that the power of the state cannot be used to damage, unjustly, the life of any individual.

     But this ocean of wisdom is not allowed to flow into this organization. The leadership has built walls to keep it out. When you build walls to keep wisdom out, what is there inside the walls, but the darkness of ignorance? And what goes unnoticed in the darkness, but acts of injustice? How could anyone feel comfortable with this situation in which the leadership has allowed this organization to become a black hole on the American landscape? The ocean of fundamental wisdom all around us, but not within us.

     This state of ignorance and injustice, has already allowed a great amount of damage to be done. And as a result an even greater darkness is weighing heavily upon the roof of this very organization in the following four ways.

     First, the misuse of power by higher echelons of leadership has already caused great damage to the lives of some people. There are many many examples. To illustrate this point, I would use the example of the destruction, the abortion, of the divine plans of the entire leadership of the Moscow Study Group in August of 2003. And for what crime? for speaking the truth. I would further illustrate this, by using the example of this humble author, whose divine plan was destroyed by this leadership team, and for what crime? Again for speaking the truth. And that only. There must be a check upon the extent to which leaders exercise power, and this is for the protection of the individual. As noted above, due process principles are supposed to provide a shield in this respect. Every member of this organization would want that shield to protect them, especially if it should come to pass that they came into conflict with the leadership. And so, this is also the requirement of the Golden Rule. If someone would want the protection of due process principles in their own life, and no one can deny they have this desire, then they must make the effort to ensure that others have the protection of due process principles in theirs. The Golden Rule requires this. In this regard, it is simply the requirement of Mercy. Just as the Masters require us to defend the innocent unborn in the womb, even if it is only an act of mercy, to shield the defenseless child from the groping instruments of death that enter the womb in search of the spirit of murder, so too do they expect us, and require us, to stop the abortion of divine plans, within the womb of this organization, when such abortions are contemplated and implemented by and through the misuse of power by any member of the leadership.

     Second, when individual missions are destroyed by the misuse of the power of the leadership, this greatly impacts the capacity of the organization to fulfill its mission. (For example, I believe the loss of Ketino was a huge setback.) People come into embodiment to carry a specific torch. The torch they are meant to carry, has a specific context. If they cannot carry their torch in the proper context, the torch itself will never ignite. And thus, the plan cannot be fulfilled. Let's say for example that a person comes into embodiment to bring a particular point of truth into a domain of high science that is currently ruled by a certain matrix of error that presents an obstacle to progress. Progress in that area is necessary for the whole plan to move forward. Now, if the forces of darkness maneuver circumstances in such a way as to cause the expulsion of that scientist from that area of work, they have both blocked the progress that he was sent to initiate, and moreover, they have destroyed his individual divine plan. There is no place else for him to put his key into the lock. Therefore, due process principles provide a check and balance against the unjust expulsion of key souls from the organization, whose sacred labor is essential for the success of the mission of the organization.

     Third, when the leadership uses the power of the organization to inflict damage upon particular souls, the entire membership must carry the karmic burden associated with the inflicting of that damage. When the membership stands by, and does nothing to try to protect individuals from the misuse of the power of the organization, when they do nothing to establish the shield of due process principles, the membership at large is held responsible for this, and they must carry the karmic burden. "For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers." (Matt 23:4) Yes, as noted, the misuse of power by the leadership, when unchecked, can destroy a life plan and mission, and the members must carry that karmic burden, which will take the form of a direct denial to them of the opportunity to fulfill their own life plan and mission. The law will not allow them to move forward into the light of their own divine Christhood, until they have balanced that karma, which means, they must remedy the situation that allowed, by the neglect of their own responsibilities, a particular life plan to be destroyed.

     A complicating factor emerges when false pastors are in control of the organization, as they will plant a false assurances into the minds of the congregation, encouraging them to believe that they are actually making progress up the mountain, or will one day make progress up the mountain. But it is not true. The law is the law. That which people cause to be inflicted upon others, must circle around and be inflicted upon them.

     The establishment, in this organization, of due process principles, must be the first step towards the balancing of this karma. And of course, the establishment of due process principles, will minimize the possibility that the leadership will be able to place more karmic burdens upon their shoulders in the future. Therefore, the establishment of due process principles is the only way that this karmic burden of mission-denial will be taken off the backs of the congregation. That means that the establishment of due process principles is the only way for this organization to move forward to fulfill its mission.

     Fourth, the establishment of due process is a very important lever, or wedge of light, that must be employed to defeat all the delusions of infallibility with which the monster of idolatry clothes and adorns the leaders of every religious organization. This is a huge problem, that of idolatry, as it, all by itself, is a path killer. As the dweller acting upon the center stage of leadership masquerades as the Christ, and is taken as the Christ by all onlookers, so is the dweller seen as the Christ upon the inner stage of the soul. The force of idolatry fools the soul into accepting the face of the dweller, both without and within, in the place of the face of the Christ. And that is a recipe for continued bondage and failure. To shatter that condition of bondage, the principle of due process can actually shine the light of truth into a fourfold cavern of pitch black ignorance: A) one wherein the fact is totally ignored, that human leaders have weaknesses that can be easily exploited, B) one wherein the fact is totally ignored, that there is an ongoing and ceaseless efforts of the false hierarchy to exploit those weaknesses, C) one wherein this important truth is totally ignored, that the false hierarchy has already been successful, and is currently succeeding, in exploiting the weaknesses of the leaders of this very organization, and D) one wherein the fact is totally ignored, that a great amount of damage has already been done. You see how the establishment of due process principles will have the effect of shining a light into the mind which brings each of these key points into active realization.

     The fact is, that the false hierarchy has already gone after the leadership of this organization from the very first to accomplish this exact kind of damage, which would heap the karmic burden of mission-denial upon the shoulders of the membership, and thus block the organization from fulfilling its mission, in as much as the mission cannot be fulfilled, as long as the membership continues to accrue and carry the very kind of karma that must continue to deny them entry into the Higher Light.

     We don't have to look too far to find a well documented example of this happening in this very organization, even under the very nose of the Messenger Elizabeth Clare Prophet. It was in the situation of Rev. Susan Elizabeth Krister, in the mid 1980's, who used the power of her position, very close to the Messenger, even as the assistant to the Messenger, to damage many souls. It was certainly unfortunate that this situation was covered up by Elizabeth Clare Prophet, or we might have seen an outcry for the establishment of due process principles much earlier on. At the time, this situation was only known to staff members. The documentation describing it only surfaced years later. A copy of the disciplinary letter dictated by the Master El Morya in response to this situation was published on the front page of this journal. (See the Homeward Bound Journal Front Page for October 2004: Memorandum From El Morya:
The Discipline of Susan Elizabeth Krister).

     Even with such examples as this, it is interesting to note that while it is relatively easy for members of this organization to comprehend how the forces of darkness have pried into the weak spots of all the leaders of all religions in the past, and thereby heaped upon all the peoples of the earth, such mission-defeating karmic burdens, yet when it comes to one's own organization, the monster of idolatry takes hold of the mind, and refuses to allow it to conceive of the possibility that the same thing could be happening right before their very eyes! And so, it has come to pass, that the outplaying of the preceding three points has already been writ large upon the history of this organization.

     As to Mark Prophet, being the first Messenger, and because of his great devotion to the Master Morya, and because of Morya's devotion to his student, I have a sense that this was not a major factor in his life. In other words, he probably made the least number of mistakes in this area. But still, we must ask, why was Mark Prophet taken so quickly off the scene in 1973? What was the message written upon the wall for us by that event? It was a surprise to everyone. It very well could be, that the false hierarchy used one of his weak points against him, to cause him to destroy the divine plan of an individual who was made to appear as the enemy, but was not. And so he was required to pay the price, and quickly.

     Make no mistake about it. As long as the members of this organization stubbornly insist on maintaining the delusion of infallibility in relationship to all past messengers, you give all false pastors that come after, access to that same delusion, which you can be sure, they will carry forward to cover their own tracks as is currently the case.

     Remember the famous statement made by the Master El Morya in relationship to Mark Prophet: "If we waited until he [Mark] was perfect, the cause would have been lost."

     And so, not only have the Masters, in their dictations, stated flat out that their Messengers were not infallible, and that indeed, that they had already made some big mistakes, there is yet one more thing that we would do well to remember, and that is, for a person to hold onto this idea, that a particular human leader is infallible, represents an expression of rebellion against the First of the Ten Commandments, which says, 'Thou Shalt Have no other God Before Me." Only God is infallible. To cloth a human being with that quality is to make that person into a God. And that breaks the First Commandment.

     When people get upset therefore, when the subject of the errors of the Messengers are talked about in a sober manner, it is this force of rebellion that has a hold of the persons emotional body.

     The teaching on the Cosmic Clock highlights the veracity of this observation. Consider where the quality of idolatry is plotted. It is on the 10 o'clock Scorpio Line of God-Vision. This tells us that the quality of Idolatry has to do with the blocking of the soul's capacity to see clearly, obscuring the faculty of God-Vision itself. And the origin of the soul's propensity to indulge this misqualification of the flame is pointed to by the other end of that line, which is the the 4 o'clock line of God-Obedience, the perversion of that being disobedience and rebellion. This tells us that Idolatry and Rebellion go hand in hand.

     This shadow of idolatry is found in every religious tradition. And falls upon us, like the very shadow of the cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified. Why was he crucified? It was because the spiritual leadership of his day had been corrupted by the forces of darkness, and they used their power to destroy him. And so, in the very crucifixion of Christ we have the validation that spiritual leadership cannot be trusted to do the right thing at all times, not even those who ruled in the name of the Prophet Moses, and that mechanisms must be employed to shield the individual from acts of injustice.

     It is no coincidence that the Master Jesus made this exact point in a lengthy statement recorded in the Book of Matthew Chapter 23, thoroughly exposing the truth about the fact that false pastors find there way into leadership, and that they become multi-faceted instruments of injustice, which I have already reproduced below, and spoken about at length.

     And yet, even with this example, we see springing up in Jesus' own church the tendency of the people to believe in this delusion of infallibility, incorporating it into doctrine, and forcing it down the throats of the people for many centuries at the point of a sword. To this very day the people of the Catholic Church hold the Pope to be infallible. And the leadership of this church would walk in that shadow, and call it an illumined path. It is not an illumined path.

     Remember, that it was ultimately the decision of every Pope to uphold the false doctrines of Lucifer that had been woven into the Catholic canon, and to deny the entry of Ascended Master truth that would have overturned the lies that keep the people chained to the wheel of rebirth to this very day.

     That path of shadow that would have the people bow down and worship before the altar of infallibility, is a path supported by the forces of rebellion which desire to keep their options open, to maintain their opportunity to use people in leadership to destroy the divine plan of key individuals, and thus to set the plan of God back on this planet. This is the root of the emotional force that refuses to have due process principles enshrined in the system of justice in this organization. And this force operates in the lives of people through that condition of hardness of heart, which remains insensitive to the damage the forces of darkness would inflict upon defenseless individuals, through the organizations instruments of power.

     How many of you look at the destruction of the divine plan of all members of the leadership of the Moscow Study Group in August of 2003 and say, "So What?" Even as you cling to the idea that the leaders of this organization are not capable of making gross mistakes? The two points of blindness go hand in hand.

     The Ascended Masters are always for the Middle Way. On the one hand, they sponsor these Messengers, and they expect them to do their best. Yet, they understand that mistakes will be made. It is up for us to take a responsible course of action to compensate for the mistakes of leadership. That is the Middle Way.

     As compared to Mark Prophet, I believe ECP was more vulnerable, that she had more weak spots. Using ECP's weak points against her, the false hierarchy was able to manipulate her into destroying the divine plan of more than one individual, sending them spinning off in a contortion of resentment and defeat. Indeed, she denied due process to many. The end to which she came speaks to this. All the hopes and dreams she had for continued service were denied to her.

     I come back to the statement made above, that when due process principles are not honored, the flame of freedom dies. Who can say that the flame of freedom is alive and well in the world of Elizabeth Clare Prophet today? It is not, her freedom has been take away nearly completely, and there is a reason for that. But where is there room in the heart and the mind for an honest consideration of this reason?

     In this regard, another Catholic oriented shadow rests upon the minds of the members of this organization, that would teach the people, that when leaders come to a bad end, that this is always the Will of God, and that some great good is accomplished by the suffering. But that is at best a half truth. They did that with Christ himself, injecting into his death the idea that it paid the price for all mankind. But the Ascended Masters have said that the idea that Jesus was the only son of God, that was false, and that the doctrine of vicarious atonement was false too. That all of us are meant to put on the robes of Christhood, and that if people are to be saved from their past mistakes, and the karma associated with it, they must learn to carry their own burden, and to transmute it, by the violet flame, and by the application of other mechanisms of personal karmic responsibility.

     Certainly, the false pastors that have populated Christian doctrine with so much falsehood, made hay with the death and suffering of Jesus Christ. And so, beneath that shadow, which falls yet upon the minds of so many in this organization, we see the followers of Mark and Elizabeth Prophet doing the same with their sufferings. But the truth is, as to Jesus Christ, that his death on the cross was the result of his own personal karma. As so too should we look at the death of any person, no matter what is the circumstance, and also, in regards to the disease suffered by any individual no matter what is the circumstance.

     Truth is healthy. Both for the mind and the body. Let it be entertained without fear in both. And besides, the more focused we are on the fact that all of our actions have consequences, the more likely we will be to make that extra effort to conform our actions to the Law of God. And that will be all to the good.

     Consider the fact, then, that in Jesus' embodiment as King David, although he was devout in so many ways, he was actually behind the death of many under circumstances that were not just. It is recorded there right in the Bible. I think the most famous example was his lust after some foxy woman. He wanted to have sex with her so bad, and so often, like every day for the rest of his life, that he sent her husband off into a situation where he was sure to die. He had the power, as King, to bring about the certain death of that man, and that's what he did. And of course, that is murder. Even if you are only pushing someone onto somebody else's sword. And so, it is no coincidence that when the soldiers came to get him in the Garden of Gethsemane some centuries later, that he placed upon the record, this teaching, that those who live by the sword will die by the sword, or spear, as the case might be.

     And so it came to pass.

     And here is something else to think about. The Ascended Masters teach us about the Law of Karma, and that you cannot escape it. And they do this, so that we will be much more conscientious when it comes to our words and deeds in the moment. And of course, when cycles require certain burdens to be carried, it helps us to carry those burdens with more equanimity, inducing humility, and giving us an opportunity to make more of a straight line in the direction of God, than would otherwise be the case. In other words, we don't waste our time hating God, or feeling resentful, for putting something on us that we don't deserve. We take responsibility for it. Learning how to take responsibility is a very important virtue that the Masters would have their students embody. Given all this as being true, and it is, do you believe that the Master Jesus Christ would want to be responsible for inserting into the minds of the people the idea that acts of murder don't require any karmic accountability, or if they do, that this accountability can be dodged? He would be the first one to say, "Please Father let me bear my burden in front of the world, so there will be no question in their minds, that even this son, is not above the law, that when I did wrong, I paid the price for the wrong doing." The same words, I think would come out of the mouth of Elizabeth Clare Prophet as well.

     I say again, let the painful and disconcerting example which Elizabeth Clare Prophet presents to us, illuminate the minds of the members of this organization. She has been given the opportunity to pay down her karmic debt in front of our eyes, so that we can learn from her mistakes, and avoid them. What went wrong, that all opportunity had to be withdrawn from her? The answer is clear. The opportunity she withdrew from others, by the power of her office, had to be withdrawn from her. If due process principles had been incorporated in the processes by which she exercised power against other individuals, and this is the lesson, her actions would have been stayed, and destruction would not have fallen upon those individuals, and thus, history would have been different. She would not be in this position today. That's the lesson to learn.

     Let the wisdom which the Masters deem so essential for the survival of the flame of freedom in the American culture at large, have a place in this community. Let that ocean of wisdom flow into this community. Let there be a system of checks and balances established in this community that would protect individuals from being victimized by the leadership's misuse of power. Let every shining star in the constellation of due process be taken down from the sky, and set as shining jewels in all of the mechanisms that we have designed to guarantee justice, and to guarantee justice before the hammer of discipline and punishment falls upon any member of this organization. When the hammer of punishment hangs over any individual, and would fall precipitously, and unjustly, let the principles of due process be the shield that will deflect the blow.

     The all-American inventor, Thomas Alva Edison was a staunch Republican, and he brought us Light. Case closed.

     In fact, I don't think that the natural world ever produced such a creature that could be called a Democrat Inventor. That would be a classic oxymoron.

     May you pass every test.

Thursday, Sept. 27, 2007, 11:45 PM PDT

     We hear the Democrat Party and their leftist core constituencies incessantly complain about how the Bush Administration is trashing the U.S. Constitution, and in so many ways, giving us the impression that they are really attuned to the spirit of liberty, and that they are genuinely interested in protecting the people's freedom. But this impression is actually a sham. And this sham needs to be exposed.

     Indeed, with the adroit movement of one foot, adorned by the very sandal of Christ, they would have us believe, they give us the impression that they are loath to step on the delicate flower of the people's freedom. Yet, if you would just look over to the other foot, you would see that heavy iron boot of cold hearted insensitivity is coming down hard upon an entire garden, gleefully and self-righteously exultant in the way that heavy heel is grinding those tender stalks into the dry and parched earth.

     A case in point, for the sandal adorned foot, is their incessant harping on the issue of warrantless wire taps (of foreign origin communications) that are authorized under the Patriot Act to allow for the quick identification and apprehension of terrorist operatives. Listening to them, you might really come to believe that they are sincerely worried about a government official listening in upon an American citizen, without justification. Yet the odor of this foot, in the way it helps the terrorists dodge detection, points to what the other foot is actually doing. Look over there, please and see what it is doing.

     The case in point, for the boot adorned foot, is their advocacy of a quick reduction and pullout of U.S. Forces from Iraq, which would allow the government of Iraq to be taken over by terrorist forces, who would not respect any star in the universe of constitutional rights. Not one. The terrorists would make whatever laws they wanted, without restraint. They would enforce those laws without restraint. They would limit speech without restraint. They would limit the press without restraint. They would limit the movement of the people according to whatever whim, and there would be nothing to restrain them from doing this. They would limit the ability of the people to assemble, and there would be nothing to restrain them from doing this. They would limit the content of conscience and belief without restraint. They would dictate the people's religion without restraint. For those who oppose them, their doors they would break down without restraint. They would search anything and everywhere without restraint. They would take whatever property they desired, without restraint. They would cart off people to jail without restraint. And they would leave them to rot there without restraint. Habeas Corpus? Habeas what? They would torture people without restraint. The people would have no guarantee or protection against any kind of cruel or unusual punishments. They would murder, kill, and maim the people without restraint. The women of the nation would be raped without restraint. The daughters of the people would be taken into the bedrooms of the leaders without restraint. The people would have no recourse, none whatsoever, to challenge anything the government wanted to do. Due process of law? Due process of what?

     As far a living under the constellation of constitutional rights, the Iraqi people lived in the dark ages under Sadam Hussein, whose hero and spiritual guide was none other than the Soviet Dictator Joseph Stalin, and this was true up until that fateful day in March of 2003 when the blanket of fear and repression was thrown off by the merciful hand of American and British military forces. For a brief moment the stars of freedom appeared, and the people were hopeful, and things looked bright, at least for a season. But this light increasingly fanned the anger of the terrorists. Every time the Iraqi's went to the polls to vote, more stars of freedom appeared in the constitutional constellation. As the light of freedom became stronger and stronger, the terrorists became more and more determined to snuff it out before it became a permanent fixture in the sky. And we see them inflicting therefore every conceivable terror upon the Iraqi people, intent on throwing that blanket of fear and repression over them once again. And you know what, the Democrat Party is doing everything they can to help them succeed in doing just that.

     Indeed, while enjoying the freedoms hard won by previous generations, these Democrats love to direct our attention to the stars in our constitutional constellations. They know their names, and they can point them out in the sky at need. And discourse upon the value of their light at length. But they would also, with the hand they keep behind their back, help the terrorists pull the suffocating blanket of fear and terror over the entire nation of Iraq, so that no Iraqi would ever see one of those stars shining their constitutional sky ever again.

     Listen to them complain bitterly over the possibility that one in ten million American citizens might have an email conversation monitored by the U.S. government, even though that citizen would retain full access to the courts to remedy any injustice done. While they show such a remarkable level of sensitivity to the evil of that situation, on the other hand, they show a total lack of understanding, indeed, a level of total blindness and insensitivity, to the fact that their policies in regards to U.S. involvement in Iraq, if implemented, would remove the only stabilizing force that Iraq knows, on which the future of freedom depends, which would open the way for the victory of the terrorist forces, which would immediately place all 28 million Iraqi's in chains, and under the boot of a brutal totalitarian regime, where not one person in 28 million would ever again have the hope of access to a court of law that would restrain the government from illegal and unjust acts of any kind.

     The actions of the Democrat Party, and the policies they champion, would deny to the Iraqi people, well within the scope of the definition of totalitarianism, all that they deem so important to have for themselves, when it comes to sacred Constitutional Rights.

     That is called rank hypocrisy at its deepest and most disgusting levels. What, pray tell, could be at the root of such rank hypocrisy? What pray tell, could be the root cause of such a division of the heart, where half of it is devoted to defending the prerogatives of the self, and the other half devoted to a course of action that would result in the enslavement of tens of millions of people?

     This is what the Democrat Party has in common with the Terrorists themselves, which is a vulnerability to astral manipulation.

     On the one hand, you have the forces of darkness pouring the highest degrees of hated into the emotional bodies of the terrorists. These individuals are like puppets lashing out, mindlessly, at the best friend the Iraq people have ever had, and that is, the American Military. Upon the foundation of their sacrifice only, will the Iraqi people have the opportunity for freedom.

     On the other hand, you have the forces of darkness pouring the highest degrees of hated into the emotional bodies of the Democrat Party, and their leftist core constituencies. These individuals are like puppets, beating their drums for the downfall of George W. Bush, lashing out, mindlessly, at policies that have in view the freedom of not just the Iraqi people, but the freedom of all the peoples of the Middle East.

     Why is it, that the Democrats appear to be doing exactly what the terrorists want them to do? It is because they are being manipulated by the same force, which is working to a common goal, of enslaving the Iraqi people. It is an intensity of hatred the shuts down all normal moral calculations. That explains exactly why they would counsel American withdrawal from Iraq, while knowing full well that such a withdrawal would produce a bloodbath of unfathomable proportions, and the enslavement of the nation of Iraq for decades, if not centuries to come.

     Just as the terrorists identify with the hatred that flows through them with such intensity, allowing that force to populate their minds with endless justifications, and plans and programs for its expression, the same is true for the Democrats. They have no idea they are being manipulated. When they feel that intense hatred for President Bush and his policies, they really believe that hatred is their own. But it isn't. No individual has the power to stir up a level of hatred within themselves that can overcome the voice of their own conscience, and their allegiance to what is morally right. That level of hatred is always projected from without, from hordes of demons on the astral plane.

     Jesus Christ understood this equation, and gave us the key to protecting ourselves from such manipulation when he said, "Love your enemy." An admonishment that no Democrat leader is obeying.

     But, whether they know it or not, at least you know, now, what is at the core of all hypocrisy.

     And you can see, that when the nation turned away from God, in the banning of school prayer in 1962, and in the legalization of abortion in 1973, and in the promotion of homosexual rights beginning in the 1990's, that we have turned our national back upon the solution to this problem. Only the Angels of God can stand in between the people and this demonic influence. And they can only intercede if the people ask for help, and they can only offer help if the people show obedience to his laws.

     May you pass every test.

     For a butterfly caught in a web, what is the most meaningful expression of God's Love? It is to set the butterfly free.

     This is where we begin our observations concerning the functionality of Divine Power.

     Consider how the forces of doubt and fear entrap us upon the very web of anxiety, the antakarana, as it were, of the false hierarchy. Thereupon the mind is clouded with a false logic, which has the soul believing that to struggle with the web itself, that this is the path to freedom. Yet, is this not, in truth, the path to further entanglement? Indeed it is.

     The Masters have taught us, that the sure portal that leads to true freedom, is the Sanctuary, the Altar, and the Call. And so we pray for obedient feet.

     And we find ourselves therefore, entering the Sanctuary, dragging the web of anxiety along with us. And it hardly fits through the sanctuary door. Its filaments stick to everything, and it is like we are moving against the pressure of a thousand rubber bands, all of which are anchored at a great distance from the Altar, we are stretching them to the limit, all the muscles of our determination strain against them, approaching the Altar with only the greatest effort.

     Yet, we finally arrive, somehow, and we open our mouth, and we make the call, just a simple call, like the Tube of Light, or the Keepers Daily Prayer, or our Heart, Head, and Hand decrees, and verily, the rubber bands snap back in the face of the demons and the astral spiders who are holding the other ends. And we are free. The cloud of anxiety that has gripped our consciousness has been destroyed, and we are immersed in the presence of paradise.

     And so, this is the question that is always worth repeating. For a butterfly caught in a web, what is the most meaningful expression of God's Love? It is to set the butterfly free.

     Freedom is the first order of divine functionality. But where exactly is that functionality? This word, w-h-e-r-e, is a container, or a chalice, for your memory of inner experience. Pray it be not empty.

     Where is that functionality? That functionality is contained in the Light which the Master, in close cooperation with God our Father and Mother, transfers to us, from the very center of that one universal heart, a matrix of divine power especially designed for our soul. For the love and care of Our Father and Mother are very highly attuned and focused upon us as the precious child to whom They gave birth out of the greatest love of Their hearts so long ago. A love they have never forgotten. And they see the butterfly trapped upon the web and the spider approaching. What is the most precious treasure they can give to their child at this point? It is freedom. The divine power they send to us knows exactly where to cut the web away from our legs, it knows exactly where to cut the web away from our hands, our fingers, and our arms, even from our wings, and exactly where to place the kiss of peace on our forehead as we flutter off in the sunlight. Yes, a highly functional divine power, beautiful and perfect in every respect.

     The Core of our Being is Consciousness. I am speaking about the core of our divine soul, of which the butterfly is a symbol when it has emerged from the cocoon of Maya into the sunlight of divine illumination, even so, with a lot to learn, and a lot to explore. This Light of Freedom, of which we are speaking, which is the Love of God, is the Total Master of Consciousness, the Ruling Lord of all the Deeper Regions of Mind, all powerful, all intelligent, all good, all wise, containing within it all the resources of knowledge necessary for it to grab hold, lock on, lift up, and raise perfectly the whole canopy of the soul fabric, uniformly and perfectly into an awareness of the beauty of the divine power itself, more beautiful than a billion roses if we could see it clearly, and at the same time, cutting all the complex tentacles of darkness, even as a master surgeon would do, setting the orb of consciousness free from that vine-like entrapment, point by point, completely, and thoroughly, and from all the sensations of poison which the spider had heretofore injected freely into the fabric of the soul. This is yet another very important aspect of the divine functionality. This Light, this Love, washes the poison out of the consciousness, a once dirty, tattered, and sludge soaked sheet is made pure white, as a matrix of pure crystal, within which dances all the radiant whiteness of the presence itself.

     The soul can be said to have a million nostrils, and when in the midst of the darkness, can smell only the rotten breath of the demonic hordes. In the midst of this great fountain of freedom, God our Father and Mother, they present to each nostril, a beautiful flower with a beautiful fragrance.

     The soul as a field of awareness is meant to ride upon this fountain of everlasting freedom. In other words, our essential body is intended to be this fountain of divine freedom, which is an especially designed matrix of divine power which our Heavenly Father, and Heavenly Mother craft out of the great love they have for us, individually, each one, constantly thinking, what is it that I can give to my precious child in this moment? And in this moment? And in this moment? And in this moment? All of these moments divided into increments much smaller than a nanosecond, and strung together as an endless neckless of pearls into a future that has no end..

     When we ponder the wonder of the Old Faithful Geyser, this is the mystery that the elementals want to convey to the soul. And that is why the soul stands in awe before it.

     God our Father and Mother, they are doing this for the Master Jesus Christ every moment of his life. You see, he is their precious child too. They are doing this for El Morya as their precious child. They are doing this for Lanello as their precious child. They are doing this for Mother Mary, as their precious child. They are doing this for Helios as their precious child. They are doing this for Archangel Michael as their precious child. They are doing this for Vesta as their precious child. They are doing this for Sanat Kumara as their precious child. And for the Lady Master Venus as their precious child. This is how great God is, who can give birth to an endless number of children, yet can give an unlimited amount of infinitely personal attention to each, without depriving anyone of their children the personal time they need, at any time.

     While, we, in the fallen state, are not aware of this, they are doing the same for us, each one, without exception, as their precious child. Though in our case, they must contend with a thick shell of rejection, built up, over many thousands of years, and in some cases millions of years, of the dark sludge-like molecules of freewill misused, which creates the delusion in our minds, born of darkness, born of the poisons of darkness that flow through our blood veins, that God does not exist, or if he exists, cannot be known. And therefore, for us, all of the evolutions of the earth, there is this little matter of reestablishing a condition of natural divine receptivity, a small matter to which the Path of Initiation is dedicated.

     Now, I would ask you this. How clearly are these realities impressed upon your awareness as you walk this special path, sponsored by the ascended masters, back to the Heart of God? Why would there be some who consider themselves the students of the ascended masters who read these words and have no idea at all what I am talking about? And some who scoff at the very sight of these sparkling jewels in my hand?

     It has to do with the principle of proportionality. It has to do with the proportionality of functionality. To the extent that the soul has, by freewill, made the choice to align its life with the core principle of divine functionality, which is always the championship of truth — that is the definition of divine functionality — to that extent will the divine functionality of the flame of freedom itself be apparent to the inner awareness of the soul. If you have dedicated your life, step by step to the championship of truth, making every effort to exhibit this basic divine functionality in your outer life, then no matter what amount of darkness the false hierarchy can throw upon you, your call will always result in the certain response of the flame of freedom which you will experience in a manner more tangible than a leap into a crystal mountain lake.

     On the other hand, if the soul is continuously turning its back upon opportunities to stand up for the truth, if the soul is continuously turning its back upon opportunities to champion the truth, if the soul is repeatedly embracing its old habit patterns of counting the cost of truth as too high, for that soul, no matter how much time he, or she, as the case might be, devotes to decree work, or other "good works" for that matter, that soul will experience the same void of divine functionality within, as it expresses without. That soul will not know the inner experience of freedom that I am speaking about here, and thus not know the fruit of the path.

     Every minister of this church falls into this category. Not so you say? Well, let anyone of them stand up and proclaim otherwise.

     All the souls on earth today, to one extent or another, carry with them into this embodiment highly ingrained habit patterns of failure, comprised of all the thoughts, feelings, and records, associated with those experiences wherein, they have allowed the forces of darkness to bend their minds into all manner of fear-based rationalizations as they see their feet fleeing yet again, each and every opportunity that life presents to stand up and champion the truth. And that includes those who have gathered at the masters feet in this organization. In this respect, they are no different than the teeming masses. All of them, without exception, have reached points on the path where they have turned back many times before. In regards to that particular point of repetitive failure, they have been brought back to face it many times, challenged again and again to face what appears to be an onerous duty to stand up for a truth that might bring upon them the condemnation of their peers. And so they have said, I can't do it. I won't do it. Let this cup pass from my lips. And that is why it has been said, that no freedom will come to this planet, until the members of this organization achieve freedom for themselves.

     Don't look to those who have flocked to the brightly adorned castles of the false messengers. For they have all been escorted into the dungeon of fear and doubt, chained to the walls there, yet know it not.

     As far as this organization goes, as things stand right now, the whole student body is caught in their own age-old rut, where the rebels have entered into the pulpit again, masquerading as angels of light, and by the appearance of spiritual authority, bent the minds of the children of God once again, against the all important requirement of the path, which is to finally stand up for the truth, to finally defeat all of the rationalizations of darkness within that keep the feet immobile in this great battle for the victory of the light.

     Yes, I return to the Linda Worobec situation, an example of a situation that could not be easier really, when it comes to standing up for what is true. Beatles or no Beatles, that is the question. Pride or no pride, that is the question. Accountability or no, that is the question. Here is the center of the poisonous flower of sympathy, sympathy for the devil, for the deified energy veil, which is a web, upon which all the brightly colored butterflies are caught. They call and they call and they call, but the functionality of the flame of freedom does not work for them, because they refuse to align their outer minds to that functionality.

     At this point, their collective sense of forward movement and perceived potential for a future victory, has no more of a foundation of truth to it, than that of the collective congregations of the false messengers. The human mind, stupefied by the poisons of the astral plane, can be filled with psychic delusions, dramatic and bright somehow, which make the web upon which they are trapped, appear to be a magic carpet.

     When a false pastor finds a weed of darkness growing in the Garden, he will not pluck it out. He will have sympathy for it. And he will allow it to live on. The false pastor has done this innumerable times in relationship to his own internal garden, building up a strong sympathy for such weeds, and feeling quite comfortable in their presence.

     And so, it comes to pass, that when a weed of darkness shows up in the outer garden, neither will that false pastor pluck out that weed, no matter how poisonous are the noxious fumes. No, the noxious fumes have become a perfume in their nostrils, a certain satisfaction they feel in the presence of others who are steeped in the spirit of rebellion, and who harbor the same delusion, that even so, God will bend the knee before them, finally understanding their superiority, and suffer them to sit on his throne in heaven. And thus, having already a strong momentum of sympathy built up in relationship to weeds of darkness generally, when they confront one in the outer garden, they desire to see it survive as well.

     We have discussed at length the weed of darkness that proclaimed itself to the world, erasing all doubt and confusion in the minds of everyone when Church Manager Linda Worobec performed a Beatles tune on the Altar of the Holy Grail in King Arthur's Court on July 4, 2003, setting before the world one of the most audacious expressions of rebellion against the core teachings of the Ascended Masters that has ever been enacted upon the Altar of the Holy Grail during the life of this organization. Another example, which we have not discussed so often, is Rev. Marilyn Barrick, who publishes material, on church printing presses, that are in sympathy with the psychic, and which trample all over the Master's prohibition of such sentiments and alliances. (See: BARRICK BOOKS Lure Students Into Psychic Entanglement and More Rebellion Against the Master El Morya). Yet, even so, and notwithstanding the existence of the truth in this regard in black and white, she is still there too, and her books continue to be sold by the church as if they were pure gold.

     As you can see from the record, the false pastors which Jesus exposed in his day, were not challenged by the congregation, and from their continuing positions of power, they instigated the crucifixion of Christ himself: "Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:" (Matt 23:34)

     Jesus proclaimed these things so that the people would know that the crimes these false pastors commit, and have committed, that the members of the congregation would be complicit, and have to bear the karmic burden upon their own shoulders: "For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers." (Matt 23:4)

     No, they don't pull the weed out. They pull out the flower, by whose beauty the weed is exposed. They pull out that flower, and they throw it over the fence without a second thought.

     The solution to this problem is to establish accountability procedures by which the false pastors can themselves be weeded out, and cast quickly onto the compost pile of worldly experience. We have these two examples before us, in relationship to Worobec and Barrick, where there is documented proof that they harbor a defiant spirit of rebellion within their temples. We should have a procedure in place where the defiant ones can be brought before the bar of justice, and therein given an opportunity to separate themselves out from the defiant spirit of rebellion they have harbored for far too long.. If they will confess their mistakes, express an apology to the congregation, and perform a suitable penance, this will go a long ways towards ensuring that they are not false pastors but only error prone Children of God. A false pastor on the other hand will have no inner desire to confess anything, and thus, as they express this very defiance in the midst of the accountability procedure, we will know who we are dealing with, and such individuals can be set aside for the good of the whole organization.

     Remember the Teaching given by Jesus Christ. The members of the congregation bear the burden for the offenses these false pastors commit. This is because the false pastors, who have no light of their own, harvest our light, and they use that in the commission of their crimes against the Purposes of God. At this point in time, none of us can claim ignorance, because the Master Jesus told us this more than 2,000 years ago.

     Those who oppose the establishment of this process of accountability are the false pastors themselves. I think we would be surprised to understand the depth of fear that they feel when the principle of accountability is waved in front of their faces. They know that when such a process is established, they will be exposed, and shown the door. Their days of free pickings from the chakras of the lightbearers will be over.

     Every once in while we see news reports about the exodus of Iraqi's from Iraq, fleeing the violence, fleeing to the surrounding nations, fleeing to Europe, fleeing to the United States, and thus making matters worse, as the economy needs those people. How can a fabric hold together when the most important threads are removed?

     Every time you hear these reports, remember that it is the defeatist policy pushed by the Democrat Party which is hastening this exodus. As the Iraqi people become more and more uncertain as to whether the United States Forces will stay and keep order (until the Iraqi Government is capable of doing it for themselves), more and more decide to leave. Where does this uncertainty come from? It comes from the Democrat Party only which calls for the American retreat quickly.

     Their blindness, which has them working for the victory of chaos and bloodletting in Iraq, is shameful.

     The story of the development of the incandescent electric light is an all-American story, rooted in the history of our nation. The practical electric light was born here, in the mind of Thomas Alva Edison, along with the electrical distribution systems necessary to power it in every home and business in the nation. This was true notwithstanding the fact that the scientific consensus of the time, circa 1879, held that the development of such a light was impossible, a view founded on the experience of many who had tried, and failed, and based moreover on a narrow and incomplete understanding of electrical laws. That's what they told him! That he would never succeed in bringing a clean and cheap electric light source into every home. The leading scientific minds of the time scoffed! But Thomas Alva Edison had the vision, and he persevered. Every time we turn on an electric light it radiates into our hearts that all-American virtue, which says, "Don't Quit."

"The trouble with other inventors is that they try a few things and quit. I never quit until I get what I want."

Thomas A Edison
Quoted in Harper's Magazine
September 1932

     This expresses the quintessential virtue of the American can do spirit. It runs in the blood stream of every American. It's the legacy left to us by the many pioneers whose vision and determination made America the greatest superpower the world has ever known, and a beacon of liberty and innovation to the world.

     This is why the psychology of the Democrat Party, which is intent on proving the idea true, that America cannot win in Iraq, and that we must quit now, can be rightfully termed retrograde from the standpoint of traditional American virtue. Why would anyone, who has any self-respect, want to identify with such a spineless and defeatist attitude?

     We face many challenges in Iraq. That is true. Many new problems for which there does not seem to be ready made solutions. But these solutions can be invented as they are needed. America has that innovative spirit. It just takes time and patience. Thomas A Edison proved that to the world. Let us remember our history, and take heart from it.

     As you will remember, on Labor Day, President George W. Bush visited the nation of Iraq, our troops there, and our allies there. And concerning this, I posted the following blogger entry, which I would like to quote for you, and then I would juxtapose that alongside another important observation concerning the Democrat Party.

     Let every American make this connection. The Democrats carry the banner of abortion "rights" in this nation. They also carry the banner of abortion "rights" when it comes to the dreams of freedom in the hearts of the Iraqi people. Indeed, the leadership of the Democrat Party would abort those dreams today, if they could. But it is the pro-life Republicans who are holding the line for a live birth.

     This is something that all Independents should consider in the upcoming election campaign. Those who are pro-abortion, carry that abortion psychology into everything they do. They are not just for aborting little defenseless children in the womb. They are not just for aborting the dreams of freedom in the hearts of the Iraqi people. No, it is not limited to that.

     Whatever kind of government largess they appear to be handing out, you can be sure of this, that in the process they are also aborting the principle of freedom, in other words, tangible elements of American freedom, in everything that they do. Even while they are talking about reaching into the wallets of every American so that the children will have health care, they are actually aborting the principle of freedom as they are doing it. Whoever appears to need health care, they say, YOU must pay for it. And they use the strong arm of government to reach into your wallet to take what they need. But not only that. Check out the latest Hillary care. She says, YOU MUST HAVE HEALTH CARE. Not only are they going to pick your pocket, they will stand over you, and force you to write a check for a health care plan for yourself! Freedom of choice? Yes if you want to snuff out the life in the womb. But freedom of choice when it comes to writing a check for a health care plan you don't need? No.

     When they argue for a clean environment, they are actually aborting the principle of freedom as they are doing it. Who is going to pay for all of that machinery that has to be mounted on the smoke stacks of the electric utility companies? Why, YOU will have to pay for that government designed and mandated boondoggle that will cost a hundred times more than it would if industry was left alone to do it for themselves. As they argue for more and more mandates against U.S. auto makers, for the sake of cleaner air, they are aborting the principle of freedom as they are doing it. Not only do they feel exhilarated as they use the arm of government to twist the arm of U.S. Auto Makers, who will end up paying for those more expensive cars? YOU will.

     As they are arguing for higher taxes (to pay for all of this stuff) they are actually aborting the principle of freedom as they are doing it. The less money you have, the less options you have. As they drag their feet and refuse to entertain any kind of reform for the social security system, they are aborting the principle of freedom as they are doing it, or not doing it, as the case might be. The entire load of the baby boom generation is about to fall on the shoulders of a very small work force. Who is going to pay for this? YOU are going to pay for it. You can go right down the line, and connect everything they do with the process of aborting the freedom of all Americans in one way or another.

     The Democrat Party is the psychology of abortion at work, aborting life in the womb of course, aborting the dreams of freedom in the hearts of the Iraqi people, true, but in a whole range of what might seem to be everyday matters, they are aborting independence, which is the central motor of freedom, and shifting Americans, incrementally and progressively into more and more of a dependence psychology where they are taught to look to government for their every need. The problem with government supplying every need, is that the government treasury, the collective wallet of the American population, does not have an infinite amount of money in it. As Democrats keep dipping into it, what they are doing, is taking money away from the people, leaving them with less options, less mobility, and thus less independence.

     Make no mistake about it. The Master Jesus Christ left us a clear and unambiguous example which was intended, by him, to inform all of the Children of God, for all time, of exactly what their duties and responsibilities are, before the presence of false pastors in the pulpit. This example is recorded in the Book of Matthew, in the entirety of Chapter 23, which I will reproduce here for reference purposes. Please reach up and take the hand of our Blessed Elder Sister, who we know as Mother Mary, and walk with her through these sentences, like unto so many paths, through the garden of truth that her son, Jesus set upon the record 2,000 years ago. This is from the King James Version of the Bible.

The Book of Matthew Chapter 23 (The Whole Chapter!) 1: Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, 2: Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: 3: All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. 4: For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. 5: But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, 6: And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, 7: And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 8: But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. 9: And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 10: Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. 11: But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12: And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. 13: But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. 14: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. 15: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. 16: Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! 17: Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? 18: And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. 19: Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? 20: Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon. 21: And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. 22: And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon. 23: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 24: Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. 25: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. 26: Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. 27: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. 28: Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. 29: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, 30: And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
