     I talked at length below about the delusion that occupies the minds of many regarding this idea that Israel will learn to live with a Nuclear Armed Iran. As noted, she will not learn to "live" as one who has the neck stretched out upon the chopping block waiting for the executioner's axe to fall. She will stand up and grab that axe out of the hand of those Iranian Terrorist Fanatics.

     And so too, and in like manner, does this delusion, when present in the minds of the American people, work just as effectively to mask the true danger posed to America by a nuclear armed Iran. Yes the delusion says that America can learn to "live" with a nuclear armed Iran. But our necks are stretched out upon that same chopping block. And so this idea is no less suicidal in the minds of American's as it is in the minds of Israelis. The Iranian Regime, the worlds most prominent state-sponsor of terrorism, who rally their people in the streets to march for the "Death to America", will become the global manufacturer for the very stuff that the terrorists need to fulfill their lust for the detonation of nuclear devices in major American cities. They need at least highly enriched uranium to build a nuclear device. And the Iranians, the planet's most notorious friend of terrorism everywhere, will finally have the means to give their friends what they have been asking for, and long dreamed of having in their hands.

     It is literally insane to pay so much lip service to the global need to control access to nuclear materials, and this for the express purpose of denying terrorists access thereto, and then to stand idly by while the planet's preeminent state sponsor of terrorism develops its own manufacturing capability for bomb grade uranium, and ultimately plutonium.

     The truth is staring us in the face. It is just as much in the interest of America, as it is in the interest of Israel, to join together to utterly destroy Iran's nuclear material manufacturing capability, and to do that before any axe can fall upon our own exposed necks. No matter how messy things might get after such a strike, it would be but a tiny price to pay to save an entire American city from being vaporized by a terrorist detonated device.

     Not just any American city. You think we have economic woes now. Just wait to see what happens when the terrorists are able to detonate a nuclear device in the financial district in Manhattan. And to take out the center of government in Washington D.C. And then most likely to close key port cities. This is the scenario which the terrorists literally lust after. Once Iran has the capacity to produce quantities of highly enriched uranium, it will be literally impossible for them not to use it to bring forth the complete fulfillment of this vision.

     May you pass every test.

     I found a very interesting passage in one of Saint Germain's earliest discourses, dated November 28, 1932, which fits the situation of Sean C. Prophet like a perfectly tailored custom fit glove.

     "In this day, no sincere reasoning mind once turning its attention and keeping it firmly fixed on the "I AM Presence," can argue, doubt, or question the Omnipotence of that "I AM Presence."

      The scarcely recognizable form of doubt that lets into the mind, argument concerning the Source of its Being, is but a lack of strength to stand against the Law of Resistance, by which growth in the outer can be measured.

      There is a vast difference between sincere questioning to know the Truth, and the human propensity to argue against the very Reality they want to believe. We always welcome most earnestly, sincere questioning for Truth; but We will have nothing to do with that nature, whose dominating propensity is to argue against the Reality of Truth. The more the argument of Truth is admitted into the Life of an individual, the greater the barrier that one sets up to surmount before the distant day, when he does surmount it.

      The students, who criticize, condemn, or sit in judgment of This Channel of the Truth's expression, will surely find themselves standing upon the edge of a precipice, into which they many plunge at any time, for no reason in the world except their own creation.

     - - - The Ascended Master Saint Germain, Nov. 28, 1932

(Source: The Ascended Master Saint Germain, through Godfre Ray King, November 28, 1932, Discourse XVII, The "I AM" Discourses, Volume 3, Saint Germain Press, Inc., Schaumburg, Illinois, 1940, pp 197-198.)

      Reading Sean's latest rants, I think a few of us might reasonably conclude that he has fallen into that very abyss which the Master makes reference to. Take a look at this comment about Mother Theresa that he set forth in one of his latest blogs:

"So if [Mother Theresa] is such an example to you, shouldn't that have some affect? Shouldn't you question the existence of God also? That is, if you aren't completely brainwashed and afraid to face the darkness the desert of the real. Of course you'll spin it as some sort of saintly crisis of faith or "dark night of the soul" that she ultimately resolved. The facts of her letters and her pitiless conduct toward the poor dispute that interpretation."

     - - - Sean Prophet, October 12, 2008

      Here Sean describes his own inner world as defined by darkness, characterizing it as a desert, and thinking that it alone is real. I suppose the word "pity" has taken on its most profound depth of meaning over the centuries through examples just like this.

      His whole sense of reality is grossly distorted by those forces which populate the abyss, those strong currents of anger, resentment, frustration, and even hatred. Check this out:

"Your "Great White Brotherhood" is an Alice-in-Wonderland fantasy. Obviously, Joseph, I've made my choice, and I will follow truth, reason, and critical thought to the end. I have absolutely no fear about it. The only thing I fear is ignorance, and especially ignorance professed loudly. If the infinitesimally small probability of CUT's threatened "final judgment" ever were to come true, I would stand unashamed with my middle finger pointed directly at the eye of God until the last nanosecond. (Because that kind of God, if he existed, would be a sadistic psychopathic tyrant.) I refuse to accept that the universe is run capriciously and irrationally, and if it were, I would want no part in it."

     - - - Sean Prophet, October 12, 2008

      This is not the soul of Sean Prophet speaking. At his most rational, he says he is interested in the truth. But in statements like this you can see that he is expressing a sentiment which has already decided (without any supporting evidence) what the truth is, and he is on a crusade to stuff that truth down the throats of anybody who will listen. He has become a prisoner of a very darkly passionate agenda that is not his own.

      And how about this as an example of the monumental contradictions that flow out of his mouth at the behest of those forces he cannot see, but yet control him: "I refuse to accept that the universe is run capriciously and irrationally." He can say that, and at the same time express an almost religious devotion to the idea that everything in the universe was created by random chance (according to his newly adopted Darwinian Bible of Evolutionary Theory).

      But this is the important point.

      The soul of Sean Prophet, who has been our good brother for many ages, must be assiduously differentiated from the forces of darkness that blow through his lower mind and body like so many whirlwinds of hatred, using his mind and body to tear down everything that God our Father stands for. And that being everything that is good and true, as exemplified by the rose, and all of the noble sentiments which it can evoke in the gentle hearted soul. Sean is truly tormented, and in all that he is saying, he is actually crying out for someone to step up and prove him wrong, and most importantly to set him free from the world of darkness and suffering into which he has fallen.

      Now, I know Sean thinks the Harry Potter series is a fantasy. But as I have said before, the Ascended Masters sponsored that project from beginning to end, to lay before the people in an allegorically manner, and in a highly entertaining way, illustrations of truths that are currently hidden from the outer human mind.

      For example, In Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire, we have an incredibly important scenario that again fits the Sean Prophet situation like a custom fit glove.

      In the Goblet of Fire, the new instructor for "Defense Against the Dark Arts" is one Alexander Moody, who is sort of like an Eliot Ness (FBI hero type) when it comes to catching and stopping the bad guys in the wizard world. Yet, after he arrives at Hogwarts to take up his new post, the evil wizards are able to throw him way down into the very bottom of very deep shaft that is protected by many layers of interwoven steamer trunks. He can't get out. You have to see it for yourself to really get this point. The REAL Moody (representing the soul of Sean Prophet) is imprisoned way down there. And he can't get out. His voice cannot be heard. While the Moody that we can see, is actually an imposter, a follower of the Dark Lord, who used a special potion to transform his body into the exact replica of the real Moody, and who is using the likeness of Moody, a totally thorough deception, to carry on as an important and respected Professor at Hogwarts, using that position to carry out a very evil plot to murder Harry Potter.

      The person of Harry Potter, throughout the entire series, represents the Christ Child, who steadily matures more and more into the conquering hero.

      This Sean Prophet that we hear and see on center stage now, is not the real Sean Prophet. Of course, the physical body is the same one which was worn by the real Sean Prophet. But the forces that work through him, these forces are not the expression of the soul of Sean Prophet. Who is it but a Black Magician who would stand with his middle finger raised to the very Eye of God? That statement is enough to prove the validity of my thesis. The real Sean Prophet still exists, but he is imprisoned by many layers of black magic (which he opened himself up to by several foolish choices), and is now powerless to hinder, block, or stop the use of his body and mind in service to the sinister force.

      At this time, the Force of Light in an embodied student of the Ascended Masters is his only hope for freedom now. A Force of Light that is strong enough to bind the forces of darkness that have imprisoned his soul, and a Force of Light that is able to lift his soul out of that deep shaft into which he has been thrown and held, lo these many years. On that day of freedom the light will stream back into his awareness, and all of the beautiful sentiments associated with the Love of God our Father and Mother for him will touch his soul anew, and he will remember.

      But then again, these words will be spoken, as they were spoken by Jesus of old, who said, "Go and sin no more, lest a worst thing come upon you." In other words, "Go and doubt no more, lest a worst thing come upon you." On every point on which Sean fell, which led him to the dilemma of slavery and imprisonment in which he now finds himself, he must be tested again. And this time, he must pass those tests if he is to retain his freedom.

     The individual who gave that sermon was standing tall, at that time, in the midst of the sunlight of truth, with the breeze of reality carressing the face of his soul. Indeed, that was the Real Sean Prophet speaking. Compare and contrast the sentiments expressed in that sermon, with the sentiments which now flow out of that physical mouth today like a hot stinky wind out of Mordor itself. I think most people would rightly conclude that such opposites cannot exist in the same soul, and that what is speaking out of that mouth today, is not the voice of the soul of Sean Prophet, but the voice of a Black Magician which controls that vehicle now by the domineering pressure of his hatred, disdain, and contempt for God, the Light, and the Ascended Masters who champion that Light.

     NONE of these sentiments were part of the world of Sean Prophet in 1989. He was no kind of perfect individual that's for sure. He was struggling with all manner of weaknesses as all students do. But this is the truth. NONE of these (antii-God) sentiments were part of the world of Sean Prophet in 1989.

     With the election of Barrack Obama we can say that the final captain of the Titantic has taken office, and now has his hands on the steering wheel.

     Full steam ahead! A declartion which has special meaning for any ship that carries the Titantic fate and name.

     Yes, this floating slaugherhouse of legal abortion, it will go down. Indeed, they think it is unsinkable, but it will go down.

     Yet, the great majority will survive if they will but keep their heads, and start moving their way to the life boats now.

     I finally ordered some gold anodized alluminum frames for my Morya Sign, which some of you might remember, and for the portraits of Jesus and St. Germain in my sanctuary. In regards to the latter two, I have been using the same unframed laminated posters that I bought from the book store at Camelot in 1981 I believe it was. Finally, they will be framed. Thanks to El Morya. And I might as well give you a link to this source of reasonably priced frames at Jerry's Artarama, a multi (brick and mortar) store discount art supply chain that has a great website. What I like about these frames is that they are made to quickly frame and hang something as thin as a poster to something thick as a canvas, or anything in between, the holding clips are made to accomadate the full range. It comes with a plexiglass front too. Really easy, and it comes in lots of different sizes. Though the only draw back is that they have a minimum order quantity.

     This is related to what I wanted to say here, because in the shipping container in which these frames arrived, I found this empty box nicely foil stamped with the name Ross - Simons. It is a nice little box, very well made. Something that jewerlry might come in. And I have it sitting on my desk, not wanting to throw it away because it is so pretty, I guess that is the right word for it. But it is empty, and what am I going to do with it? Well, I had this idea this morning to type that name into a search engine to see what came up. Well, of course, Ross-Simons jewerly store! I suppose that was predictable. But look what I found on the front page. This really struck me as beautiful. (You can buy one too). Made of mother of pearl, sort of an artistic representation of the heart of the Divine Mother I think. Her love for each one of us radiates out of this piece of art. Something that all wives and girlfriends would cherish.

     Pat Robertson recently issued a statement ostensibly on the situation in Georgia, and on the subject of Russian oil and gas related ambitions. (See the full statement here.) In this context, he made the following rather provocative and time sensitive statement about the intentions of Israel to attack the Iranian nuclear program. Says Robertson:

"In my opinion, Israel will be forced to make a preemptive strike against the Iranian nuclear reactors by air or submarine-launched cruise missiles during the brief period between the U.S. elections and the inauguration of a new U.S. president."

     The point to be made, is that Robertson's conclusion is not a matter of divine prophecy, but only a matter of a common sense and a reasonable reading of the situation. The correctness of this conclusion can be understood by any person of average intellect.

     First, the time period between election day, Nov. 4, and the inauguration of the new President, on January 3, does in fact represent an important window of opportunity for Israel to make the strike against Iranian Nuclear facilities, simply because that is the time window in which they are most likely to receive U.S. assistance.

     Prior to the election, a strike would work against Republican political ambitions, and thus, a Republican President is likely saying, "Please don't even think about it before the election." However, Bush is probably not saying that America won't help. The Israeli's have to extrapolate that for themselves.

     After the election, Obama will be (more than likely) the President Elect. And we can be sure that he will do nothing to help Israel strike Iranian nuclear facilities. I think that is a fare bet. You never know, but can a pig fly? Under some circumstances it might be possible. But will Israel base their very survival on such pie-in- the-sky possibilities? I.e. perhaps Obama might help us, so we can wait? Not likely.

     This conclusion is well supported by many of Obama's public statements. On more than one occasion Obama has expressed the general but sincere belief that he would be able to rein in Iranian misbehavior, and their nuclear ambitions, on the force of his smile alone, if you don't mind me translating his statements into a more concise format. By making such assertions, Obama shows us that he does not understand the enemy. And thus, Obama does not grasp the threat that Iran poses to Israel. And thus, when asked to provide U.S. military assistance for such a raid, he will say "NO. Let's give diplomacy more of a chance. We can talk this out. Let the laser beam of my logic impress itself on the Iranian leadership. They simply can't resist it. We don't need to use military force." And thus no orders will go out to position U.S. military assets in a supporting role.

     Remember to factor into this equation the Pastor Wright controversy. His Pastor, this Pastor Wright, whom he thought highly of, was a dear friend and advocate of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakan, Mr Poison Breath himself, who hates Jews with a passion, and lets no one doubt it. Obama has obviously been thoroughly programmed by this relationship to see Jew-Hating as something that he can live with, as something that does not overly disturb him. Obviously Wright shared the views of Farrakan. And Obama had to dismiss the relevance of this Jew-Hating psychology every single time he met with his pastor. And thus his psychology has been programmed in this manner, over a period of many years, to dismiss the relevance of Jew-Hating. And thus, this makes it impossible for him to grasp the danger posed by the Jew-Hating Iranian Mullahs. There is no doubt that the leadership of Israel has looked at this, and had analyzed it properly. Obama will not have a natural inclination to step out and assist Israel in a preemptive strike against people whom he does not see as a danger or threat (people whom his own Pastor and Louis Farrakan would rather hug than hit).

     Moreover, during this Nov. 4 to Jan. 3 window, once the Republicans know that Obama has become the President Elect, the Bush administration will feel an even greater responsibility to help Israel, not less, knowing that no help would be forthcoming from an Obama Administration. And if the strike makes a even a small mess of things, which is likely, at least to some extent, all the better to dump that in Obama's lap when he takes office! Really, there will be felt a tangible sense of justice in that idea in most people in the Bush White House who will be sorely stinging from the electoral defeat.

     But whatever mess the strike makes, it would be tiny compared to the mess that would unfold if Iran actually tried to blow Israel off the map with a nuclear weapon. Tens of millions would die, both Israelis and Iranians.

     Because everyone at higher leadership levels is planning on an Obama Presidency, this makes the current pre-election perspective of the Nov 4 to Jan 3 time frame appear the more relevant as a strike window, and plans are certainly underway to take advantage of it, at least to some extent. But, on November 5 when everyone will actually know Obama will be the next President, well, nothing is more sobering that reality. Everything will come sharply into focus then. And the train will leave the station.

     As far as I see it, this question represents the seed element of the whole equation. Given the history of the people of Israel, who define their cultural identity in large measure through the lens of the horrors dealt upon them by Hitler and his Holocaust, will they stand by and allow another individual, just as evil at heart as Hitler was, an evil this time around with which they have much experience, in terms of the stubborn and destructive hatreds of the people of the Middle East, to develop weapons far more powerful than any Hitler ever had, and who has stated openly and publically the desire to wipe Israel off the map? This answer to this question is an abstraction to everyone else in the world save the Jews. To them it is no abstraction. They answer this question in the most concrete manner out of the deep stain of terrible experience they wear upon their very souls. They will not allow Holocaust II to be written into the history books. All of who gave their lives under the terror of Hitler cry out to them, and they say with one voice, NOT AGAIN.

     Beyond that, who has more experience in this aspect of the equation, when it comes to evaluating the deterrence potential of Israel's own arsenal? They have lived in the soup of this suicide culture of the Middle East, from the very first day of their National existence. That's more than 50 years ago. They have an accurate reading in this regard I believe, in understanding that Iran's totalitarian regime, while they will make sure to save themselves, and their power structure, are nevertheless "spiritually" prepared to sacrifice many Iranian cities to gain this goal of Israel's total destruction.

     I think this point can be better understood when seen in the light of the radical Islamic goal of establishing a new Islamic Caliphate that encompasses the entire middle east, whose populations will rally to their side, once this sacrifice has been made, becoming a base of power from which the "faith" can be spread to the rest of the world.

     While the Israelis can think in very concrete terms about this situation, the rest of the world cannot, and their feet become tangled in their own abstractions. For example, we hear more and more the pundits proclaiming that Israel will learn how to live with a Nuclear armed Iran. Is that a rationale view? How does one "learn" to live under the threat of certain annihilation? How does one "learn" to live in the shadow of a giant hammer head that is even now falling in your direction? To sit back and do nothing means the death of the State of Israel.

     And how is it, that some people have convinced themselves that the people of Israel can learn to live with a Nuclear armed Iran? It is because the Iranian thugs have made the cost of remedial action so high, with their threats to close the Strait of Hormuz, to cut off the flow of oil, to bring the world's economies to their knees, that they have said in their hearts, well, that is too high a price for US to pay. That right, too high a price for US to pay. But little do they understand, and perhaps to this they have been blinded, even by their fear, that this is not a part of the thinking of the people of Israel. No, not a bit. The people of Israel face national distinction. They could really care less about the flow of oil out of the Strait of Hormuz. What good is that oil to them if their nation is blown off the face of the earth? That Iranian threat is meant for Western consumption only, to compel the Western Powers to back off, and even to abandon Israel to her fate.

     This is perhaps a good place to apply the Biblical maxim, that what one fears, that this is the very thing that comes upon you. Here we see the fear-based equation of blindness quite well defined. In the fear ruled mind, we see a structure of thought formed up which represents an audacious example of irrationality. Indeed, because of what WE fear, not because of what Israel fears, but because of what WE fear, i.e. the damage to our economic interests, the people of Israel (therefore) will have to learn to live with a nuclear armed Iran (even though that prospect means the utter destruction of Israel itself.) This is dark delusion that masks the truth.

     And therefore, because there is no intent whatsoever in Israel of learning to "live" with a Nuclear armed Iran, in fact, that there is every intent of taking whatever action is required to safeguard the life of their nation, the strike upon Iranian nuclear facilities will unfold before our eyes, taking the world by surprise, and indeed, that which they have feared, has come upon them anyway, as the Iranians stop up the shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. And the damage done by this cutoff of oil is far more severe than what it would have otherwise been, because this delusion, that has Israel learning to live with a nuclear Iran, has stopped the western powers from building up sufficient forces in the Person Gulf ahead of time, to ensure that the Iranian closure of the strait will be short lived. Because adequate preparations were not made, the closure lasts for weeks, instead of days, and what the people have feared, has come upon them tens times over.

     But, there is yet time. Realize that Israel will strike. She must strike. Therefore, let all Western powers cooperate now in beefing up all necessary defenses in the Strait of Hormuz, and cooperate with Israel herself, to make that strike totally effective. And thus let the Iranian threats fall to the ground like so many dried up leaves. Write to your congressmen and women. Write to your senators. Write or call the White House. Let there be a chorus demanding an adequate preparation for the inevitable. Yes, for the inevitable.

     These are the things that are being discussed behind closed doors in Israel today. While these are peripheral discussions for us, a subject that we push off the table most of the time, and it only reappears as a side dish on our dinner tables occasionally, by great contrast, this is on the dinner plate of Israeli leaders every day. Truly for them it is the main course on their plates over day. This is a matter of life and death for them. To eat of the truth concerning this issue is to survive. To push the plate away is to die.

     And so, let us ask ourselves some very important and illuminating questions in this all-important quest to get our minds around the inevitable event that will surely unfold before our very eyes.

     It is possible, within Israeli leadership circles, that there would be a strong voice for the value of their own nuclear deterrence, that voice proclaiming the prospect and possibility of surviving even under this cloud of threatening disaster? I suppose there could be. But the majority have been soaking in this stew of the Middle East suicide culture for more than 50 years, and the deterrence based argument cannot possibly carry much weight with the majority. The common sense of the Israeli heart tells them that their national survival cannot be dependent on a hollow hope that these Iranian thugs can be deterred from using the nuclear weapon they have finally acquired.

     Is it possible, within Israeli leadership circles, that there could be a strong voice for the success of additional diplomatic efforts, to stop the Iranian nuclear program? No. I think it is congealed consensus in the world today, that this cannot be, and will not be stopped by talking, or by any amount of sanctions. These Iranian totalitarian thugs want that power, and they are determined to get it.

     Is it possible, within Israeli leadership circles, that there could be a strong voice raised in support of the possibility that additional diplomatic efforts could at least work to transform the hate-filled hearts of the Iranian leadership some time in the future? And in this way, while they might acquire the ability to manufacture a nuclear arsenal, that they could be persuaded to never use it? Sure I imagine there are such voices. But the memory of Hitler will move the majority to dismiss this argument. The threat is very real, and very close, and they can smell it.

     If this element of mindless and irrational Jew- Hatred was not there, i.e. within the Iranian Regime, this would be a totally different situation. But this element is there, and it is paraded publically, and without shame, and more powerful than it ever existed in the black hearts and minds of Hitler's henchmen.

     If I were today personally a Jew (and I believe I was at one time in a past embodiment) and if I were today in a leadership position in Israel, I would be actively pushing for a devastating strike against the Iranian Nuclear facilities. And soon. I would not dismiss the value of U.S. Military support, and I would point to the fact that the likelihood of getting that support ends with the Bush Administration. To the extent that the full success of the strike depends on the support of the U.S. Military, to that extent does this narrow window of opportunity have substantial meaning for the survival of Israel. I would say in my heart, yes Dear God, things will get messy after such a strike. But not nearly so messy as the total destruction of Israel, wherein we would be forced to strike back and destroy tens of millions of innocent Iranians, a scenario which will surely come to pass if we allow the Iranian Mullahs to have a Nuclear Weapon. Heaven help me. But that is what I would say.

     Let us turn our attention, then, to this important and relevant question as to whether this problem can be prayed away by those highly devoted to the principle of God's Omnipotent Power, in Israel or in America.

     The first principle in the equation of what prayer can do, and what prayer cannot do, is that of freewill. God our Father and Mother, the Ascended Masters, and the Holy Angels, cannot, and will not interfere in the freewill of any individual on earth.

     However, when the freewill of otherwise good individuals is being subverted by the forces of darkness, where the individual might seem hell bent on a destructive course of action, the Angels can, in response to our prayers, intercede to remove the influence of darkness, and in setting the native goodwill of an individual free to express itself, and fanning the flame thereof, the impending destructive chain of events can be thwarted.

     But if a particular individual has decided to throw his lot in with the dark forces, and this willingly, as all totalitarian dictators have done, even those of the theocratic type who are currently laying their whips on the backs of the Iranian people, these internal choices cannot be undone. Prayer will have no impact on the choices being made by these agents of the darkside. The several years of protracted diplomatic efforts have proven this to be true. The Iranian Mullahs are literally hell bent on acquiring a nuclear weapon capability, not simply to destroy Israel, but to have a gun in their holster before which America herself will cower. And their hidden desire to pass nuclear weapons to terrorist organizations for detonation in major United States cities should not be overlooked here. When the "president" of Iran talks about the demise of America, that is code for this vision of mass fiery slaughter, a vision that fills his heart to the bursting point. Prayer will have no power in bringing these individuals into a realization of their own evil nature. If no one stops them, and I mean physically, just as the Nazi's had to be stopped physically, they will have that gun in their holster, and soon. And with it, they are going to blow out the brains of Israel. And the world will cower in the shadows not wanting to have that gun pointed at them.

     Now, it is true, that good people can be inspired to oppose evil. And where good people have an opportunity to act to avert evil and destructive events, the Holy Angels, in responding to our prayers can and do act to inspire these people. But in this regard, we have learned from the protracted diplomatic negotiations, that there are not any "good" people left in the upper reaches of the Iranian Regime, nor are there any "good" people at any important position in their nuclear development program. The people who are actually good people, who believe in freedom, and democracy, and who understand in their hearts the evil nature of the Iranian Regime, have long ago spoken up, and they have been thrown into prison, or murdered. It is a police state after all.

     In Iran today, the qualification for any position of real power, is a black heart. And the Iranian despots enforce this qualification through an ongoing reign of terror.

     So while prayer can inspire good people to act to stop a particularly evil course of events from going further, we can see in this situation, that such people are not present, otherwise, this train would have been derailed a long time ago. This nuclear program is moving forward, and there is no one inside of Iran who can step up and stop it.

     Now, in the Ascended Master tradition, we know that calls can be answered for the binding of the forces of darkness itself. That a totally evil individual can be stripped of all power to act in this world. In other words, the capacity to actually do evil can be neutralized. And there are many advanced souls giving these kinds of calls. And the question is, can we stand back (while actively giving such calls) and rely on this dimension of divine intercession to deliver us from this situation?

     My sense of what the answer to that question might be, is a resounding NO. No, we cannot rely now on this modality of intercession. The reason why I say that, is because this level of direct intercession, the most direct saving grace, is dependent on the level of obedience to God and humility before God exhibited by the peoples in question, in this case Israel and her most important ally, the United States. To the extent a nation is obedient and humble before God, to that extent can that nation expect the most direct and decisive intercession. Of course, all of the Children of God are loved, and that infinitely so. But the degree to which these Children can receive the direct intercession of the Most High depends upon their obedience to the Law.

     And one of the first factors of disobedience to consider is that of legal abortion. Not only does a great karma hang over America as the direct consequence of the murder of nearly 50 million unborn children in the womb, the pervasive delusion that this practice represents a virtue in our constellation of civil rights reduces to a very extreme degree, the level of direct intercession that a nation can receive from God. Israel has this problem as well. There are other factors of disobedience to be considered. All of them taken together puts both America and Israel in a very weak position indeed, when it comes to facing these forces of darkness which are fully manifest now on the physical plane. What little saving grace that our nations are qualified to receive, would have already been used up, that is, applied to the problem at the earliest stages where the level of power available to be released might have had an impact. I believe the hour is too late for any direct staying action, and that only mitigation around the edges is possible now.

     Just as in the years leading up to World War II, there was time for prayer, and time for some intercession. But there comes a time when the forces of destruction have become totally physical. And then, the only way to deal with them, is through physical means. And just as that experience has taught us, there are few who will make themselves available to take up such a sword. Only those good people who can be inspired to act, and with courage, have any hope of warding off the greater danger now.

     That leaves only the good people of Israel, and the good people of the United States of America. Yes, with all of their faults, they are still the people with the greatest reservoir of good will on the planet. A good will that can reach beyond their own self interests in time of need. If the Holy Angels are going to inspire anybody to stop this catastrophic chain of events which is certain to lead to the deaths of tens of millions, they do not have a wide field to choose from. Israel, or America, that's it. (Britain has been side-lined by a new labor government, defeatist in attitude and in retreat). And once Obama takes office, that will take America out of the equation too. Under Obama's "leadership" America will sit on its hands along with the European nations, all of which have their heads filled with this delusion, that Israel can learn (must learn) to "live" with a nuclear armed Iran, which is a ludicrous and dangerous delusion, as I have already noted.

     And so, let us consider, in closing, what is the Will of the Divine Mother in this situation? Is it appropriate in her eyes, to stand by and allow the Enemies of God himself, to acquire weapons that they have used before, in previous incarnations, to destroy the Children of God? Would not the Divine Mother, if she had hands and feet in this octave, move to shield millions of her children from a Nuclear Death? Would she not take the approach most likely to guarantee the safety and ongoing life opportunity of those millions both Israeli and Iranian? Our Divine Mother only has hands and feet in this octave, if we choose to be those hands and feet.

     And so, come January 3, 2009, on Inauguration Day, and this strike has not happened, I would be very surprised. Very surprised. Israel would be in a much weaker position, having to carry that strike out without U.S. help.

     "Would Russia then consider hostilities (such as I have outlined) the excuse to enter the fight on trumped-up reasons in order to further its ultimate aim of controlling Middle East oil?"

     You know, that doesn't even make any sense in terms of the sentence structure, which I suppose indicates the amount of time he actually spent thinking about it. Here let me edit so you can understand clearly what he was driving at.

     "Would Russia then [find in these] hostilities (such as I have outlined) the excuse to enter the fight on trumped-up reasons in order to further its ultimate aim of controlling Middle East oil?"

     Pat Robertson wants to answer this question 'YES". Further on, he describes the scenario of potential global destruction as follows.

     "What if the United States decided to oppose the Russian expansion? The Russians have enough long-range nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles aimed at the United States to annihilate all of our cities. Would we be willing to play a nuclear game of "chicken" with Russia to save Israel? Probably not. Would the United States risk war with Russia over Middle East oil? Perhaps, but unlikely. If we act, it will be ugly. If we don't act, our economy could either be crippled or faced with continually escalating exactions demanded by Russia for oil."

     Now, what Robertson is trying to do, is to fit the Georgian situation, and the Russian aggression associated with that, into a pre-existing Bible Prophecy that Robertson has been going over and over in his mind probably for the last 50 years, always on the lookout for events that might fit into the stated parameters. In his desire to fit this scenario into this prophesy, which he goes on to describe, which I will not take the time to critique, Robertson has lost his anchor to reality. In this paragraph (above) he actively distorts his own knowledge base (regarding U.S. Soviet relations) to make it fit into the Bible passages that he then begins to quote.

     Let me say, in an attempt to deal with this in as brief a space as possible, that the idea that Russia will intervene in the Middle East is quite mistaken and erroneous. First of all, as far as I know, they have no history of holding ground there. Even the largely spineless and befuddled President Truman compelled dictator Stalin to remove his forces from Iran after the end of World War II. They could have stayed. They had the power to stay. And they would have liked to have that oil. But they decided to pull back. They sensed America's willingness to fight over this issue, and their own interests were not great enough to pursue such a fight.

     Moreover, and ever since, the United States has clearly shown the will to send military force into the Persian Gulf to protect its access, and the world's access to oil. Our aircraft carriers patrol that area constantly. And the Mediterranean too. The more so in the current situation where we have ground forces committed in both Kuwait, and Iraq. The Persian Gulf is like another Great Lake to America. The Russians know this. If the Russians intervened on behalf of Iran in this scenario, it would be certain war with the United States. There is no ambiguity there. There is no uncertainty there. The idea that if the Russians show up, that America will simply sail back home, has no basis in historical behavior. No Russian General believes that. America is in the Middle East to stay, and the Russians know it.

     If the Russians intervened on the side of Iran, they would do it with their eyes wide open, without any miscalculations. They would know they were getting themselves into a war with the United States. There is no place on the entire globe that this is more certain. And so, if the Russians did that, they would do it from the standpoint of strength, knowing that they would be getting into a shooting war, and that they would be certain to come out the winner. But every rationale factor points to this truth, that the Russians themselves know so well, that they could never win such a war. And that makes Robertson's Russian scenario the more far-fetched.

     Over the course of the entire cold war which lasted 40 years, when it comes to the value of the deterrent equation, the Russians have differentiated themselves from the fanatics in the Middle East. While deterrence has no effect on the suicide minded populations of the Middle East, this is not the case with the Russians. With the Russians, deterrence has always worked. It is because they have all of their eggs in a basket of material reality. There is no belief among the Russians of a "heaven" that will glorify them for smashing Israel or America to pieces. They see that America has the equal capacity to smash them to pieces, and for them there is no heavenly plan "B". Where America has made its interests clear, when U.S. military forces are present, the Soviet Union never challenged us. Peace through strength, was Ronald Reagan's motto, and with the Russians, it worked. We have always kept a strong presence in the Persian Gulf area, and we have always made it clear that the security of Israel is in America's vital interest.

     And moreover, and this makes Robertson's Russia related scenario the more hard to swallow, is that the military power of Russia has been severely cut back since the Soviet Union disintegrated back in the early 1990's. They are not strong enough to enter into a military adventure in the Persian Gulf area. In other words, if they entered into that area in a military manner, they will be provoking a certain war, but one they know they could never win. They never did, and certainly do not now have the strength that can guarantee them a victory in a head to head conventional confrontation with the United States.

     And so, the rest of Pat Robertson's Russian related scenario represents the product of an out-of-control imagination. Again, he is only trying to make things fit into a Biblical prophecy. Like trying to force a square peg into a round hole. The peg remains square however. It just won't fit.

     The only thing we have to worry about is what Iran is going to do in response to Israel's inevitable strike against their burgeoning nuclear material enrichment processes. If the United States were to build up its forces in the Persian Gulf now, and send the necessary signals that these Iranian thugs will have much to lose if they try to close the strait, like a few cruise missiles into their palace, they will not even try. But we have to be strongly prepared and with overwhelming force.

     This deterrent equation will work (in this non- nuclear framework) because we can so order the field of battle to deny them the prize for which they would otherwise be willing to trade whole Iranian cities. We can kill you, but you will get nothing in return. Your nuclear ambitions will lay in rubble, your capacity to threaten Israel will be gone, and we will have the strait open in a week. And if you push us any further, you will lose it all. They will back off to fight another day.

     Of course, the call for prayer, in terms of keeping control of the situation in the aftermath of the Israel strike, is valid, and I support that, and encourage it. Our prayers must be for the disarming of the Iranian Nuclear Weapon's Program by the concerted military force of both Israel and the United States of America. Let us pray that this strike is accomplished with overwhelming force, and that the military forces of America and her allies are prepared to deal with the Iranian backlash, that the situation can be kept under control, and that if an attempt be made by Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz, that America and her allies are properly prepared and positioned to block it, and to make it short-lived.

     As Pat Robertson so aptly noted, the world sat on its hands while Hitler gobbled up one nation after another. Because of this 50 million people were dead in the end, and that was in the day when there was no such thing as nuclear weapons (well at least until the very end of the war). By nipping this situation in the bud, things may get messy for a while, but it will be a tiny, tiny, tiny, price to pay compared to the horrendous devastation that will be unleashed by another Jew-Hating clique of budding despots, this time in Iran, this time armed with nuclear weapons. They must never be allowed to have nuclear weapons. The lives of tens of millions hang in the balance on this one question of whether the world will act to stop them, or stand by and do nothing.

     May you pass every test.
