     In her embrace the whole landscape of love opens up before us.

     The beaming smiles of innumerable shining hearts are there to greet you.

     The streaming light of all these happy faces shine through me.

     I am at the portal, I stand at the portal to all far flung reaches of paradise stretching out endlessly before me in all directions.

     In the midst of the astral darkness, I so stand, a shining beacon whose exquisite light pours out upon the hearts of God's Children everywhere calling them home.

     This truth is for every child. Every child.

     Indeed this embrace is for every child.

     Her love means everything.

     The love of our Divine Mother means everything.

     Ask our Heavenly Father. He will tell you, it means everything to Him too!

     May you pass every test.

     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.

     May you pass every test.

     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.

     One reader commented with enthusiastic agreement after reading my original expose on the Ape Face in the Chart of the Presence. That's fine. But this reader told me that his next act was to throw the whole Chart of the Presence into the Trash! Can you believe that?

     First of all, I never recommended such a drastic action. I want to stress that my solution to this problem was to place a more acceptable image of a mountain over the one that contains the subliminal Ape Face. If you wanted to, I suppose, you could go to the trouble of cutting out the subliminal Ape Face, which might help one to feel more satified with the end result, and then taping an acceptable mountain over the hole. That would be ok. I first recommended that the mountain from the cover of the "Chela and the Path" be used as a substitute. But when I found out that this was also produced by Norman Thomas Miller, I finally peeled that off, and replaced it with a portion of a painting by Peter Ellenshaw of the Grand Tetons overlooking Jenny lake. You can find that image on the Internet, and using a image editing program, crop it to size. That is a much better focus. Even a photo of the Grand Tetons, properly cropped would suffice, and would be eminently acceptable, as the Masters encourage us to place our attention upon it anyway, as a visual aid. (As that is the location of the Royal Teton Retreat).

     Now, I just wanted to say, that this impulsive act, reported by this reader, to trash the whole Chart of the Presence, did not orginate within the domain of the light. It is that crass impulse of the dweller, at the very least, amplified by the hateful energies of the False Hiearchy at the very most, to throw the baby out with the bathwater, as it were. This is that same reactionary mindset that, when a mistake made by either of the Messengers comes to the attention, will immediately use the imagination to color the whole life and work of the Messengers with one broad brush stroke of negativity, thereby helping this unbalanced soul to then discount the whole of the Messenger's work, setting it free (feeling some relief in this regard) from any duty and responsibility to walk the Path of Initiation, even when the Acended Masters placed this truth on the record that their Messengers were not perfect.

     Therefore, the following two approaches, by comparison, represent the middle way, the one advocated by the Ascended Masters. First, when you see a mistake by the Messenger, don't swallow it as if it were a gold coin. Reject the mistake, for the sake of the health of your own soul to be sure, while keeping your eye on the great plurality of good and righteous work that both Mark and Elizabeth Prophet, working shoulder to shoulder with our Brother El Morya, accomplished. Second, when you see this Ape Face in the Chart of the Presenct, don't swallow it as if were a gold coin. Reject the mistake, for the sake of the health of your own soul to be sure, while keeping your eye on the great plurality of good and righteous symbolism that is contained in the rest of the chart.

     True enough, it appears that Norman Thomas Miller, when he was drawn into the service of that false messenger David C. Lewis, became a total traitor to the cause of the Ascended Masters. But he was not a total traitor at the time he painted that Chart. The seed of betrayal was within him true enough, as it is in all of us, in the amalgated momentums of darkness that we all have in our electronic belts. If only he had been challenged on this point earlier, he might have had thre opportunity to surrender that point of pride that led to his downfall. And so, it is useful to have this important lesson (pride goether before the fall) before us in the Chart of the Presence as it is, with the offending Ape Face removed. Leaving the rest intact. It is an important historical story associated with our organization containing this important lesson. Let us remove the poison from the Chart, but retain the lesson before our eyes.

     It could be that for those who desire to throw out the whole chart, they are aware of their own problem in this regard, they have become somewhat awakened in this regard, but they don't want to be reminded of this important lesson. On the other hand, for those who are comfortable leaving the Ape Face in the Chart as is, these are those who remain in a state of complete denial. They want keep living in the delusion that there is no lesson to be learned. that there are no consequences associated with feeding one's eyes upon a point of rebellion masquerading as virtue. Their whole identity is still in that state of non-transumtative non-surrender in this regard.

     Finally, and overall, I think it is a good lesson to have in front of us, that no student of the Masters can be considered perfect, that the individual while in physical embodiment is capable of making mistakes, and that these mistakes must be confronted when they are made, to give that individual the opportunity to surrender the pride out of which the mistake emerged. In this way, the soul will be saved from a greater fall, if the test can be passed in the present moment. Certainly we can learn this from the experience of Normal Thomas Miller who has become, because of his pride, even after many years of service, yoked once again to a gaggle of False Hierachy imposters.

     Indeed, let this lesson remain in front of us in our (sanitized) Chart of the Presence. Beware, how the mighty have fallen.

     May you pass every test.

     In the work of J.R. Tolkien, "The Hobbit" , and the subsequent "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, we see a major effort on the part of the Ascended Masters to anchor important truths and themes in the popular mind. A quest, as it were, brought nearer to fruition with the making of the film version of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The Fellowship of the Ring, released in 2001, The Two Towers, released in 2002, and the Return of the King, released in 2003.

     This series of books was intended to be a classic dramatization of the Path of Initiation, though much of it couched in allegory. And the films greatly assist in helping to stretch the imagination of millions towards the all-important principle of the quest, and of course, brings to our attention in a powerful way, how the events of history can turn, for good, or for ill, on the efforts of one individual.

     The plot line of the film version, and its strengths and weaknesses, as compared to the books, cannot be fully appreciated without having read all of the books first. For example, the violent aspects of the work are greatly amplified, greatly over accentuated, in the film version with a corresponding weakness in the ability to bring out the more noble qualities of the characters, something that Tolkien accomplished with great success in the narrative. Moreover, some characters were completely missing in the film version, For example, you would only come into contact with the character Tom Bombadil in the first book of the trilogy (The Fellowship of the Ring). He is not touched on in the film version. This character represents a cameo appearance by the Master El Morya. This is a very magical portion of the story. Without his help and intercession at the beginning, the fellowship would have been thwarted at the beginning. The eagles get short shrift in the film version as well. Nevertheless, the film version is worthy of our attention, as it provides important visual illustrations for many of the key parts of the story, and provides us, even with all of its weaknesses, with what I would call a magical chalice that draws forth all of our deeper memories and experiences associated with the books. In short the two compliment each other. They should be taken as a whole.

     And the musical score is excellent, something that the books obviously could not give us. In that regard, I want to share with you the closing song, which is heard only at the very end, and only when the credits are rolling(!). The title of the song is "Into the West" and it references most directly the end of the story, when the Elves take Bilbo, Frodo, and Gandalf across the sea into the domain of light, where the Elves live. It is performed by Annie Lennox, who in this crystal moment is swept into the larger current of divine purpose, perhaps coming into contact for the first time in her life with the reason she came into embodiment, another commentary on the complexity of the quest, and she gives us a very deep performance. But most importantly, this song becomes another cyrstal chalice into which the whole story fits, the whole dramatic content of all the four main books of Tolkien's life work. It all comes into focus in this song, and in a very personal way for every soul who listens to it. For the entire work, books, movies, and music, was sponsored by the Brotherhood to bring the individual soul into a degree of rememberance of the quest on which it came to the earth long ago. A Quest not yet fufilled.

"Into the West"  

     I have included the orchestral lead-in, and the orchestral follow-on, making the audio clip exactly 11 minutes in length, and 10mb in size. Here are the lyrics, which I include here only because the words "pale moon rising" are not easy to recognize. The rest of the lyrics are quite clear. When you come across this refrain, "Safe in my Arms", consider who is speaking? It is our Father/Mother God who speaks out of the Divine Heart to each of us, to every child sent on the quest for the Holy Grail.

Lyrics:

Lay down
Your sweet and weary head
Night is falling
You have come to journey's end

Sleep now
Dream--of the ones who came before
They are calling
From across a distant shore

Why do you weep?
What are those tears upon your face?
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away

Safe in my arms
You're only sleeping

What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?

Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come
To carry you home

And all will turn to silver glass
A light on the water
All souls pass

Hope fades
Into the world of night
Through shadows falling
Out of memory and time

Don't say
We have come now to the end
White shores are calling
You and I will meet again

And you'll be here in my arms
Just sleeping

What can you see
On the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?

Across the sea
A pale moon rises
The ships have come
To carry you home

And all will turn to silver glass
A light on the water
Grey ships pass
Into the West

     After ten years in the making, Erin Prophet has finished her book, a writing project she first announced in a Bozeman Daily Chronicle article back in 1998. Did it take her this long to write it because of the honest desire in her heart to find the most solid ground of objectivity possible? I hope so, and I think so. It is scheduled to be publised by Lyons Press, a division of Globe Pequot on or before Oct. 1, 2008. The book can be, and should be, in my estimation, pre-ordered now from Amazon.com.

     From the publisher's information we can be fairly confident of the overall objectivity and honesty of the contents, and moreover, we have reason to be fairly optimistic, judging from a public statement signed by both Erin and Moira in their latest email announcing the addition of ECP testimonials to the ECPROPHET website on the occassion of the 50th Anniversary of the Summit Lighthouse. Say they ...

"We hope that during the next half-century, those who have been inspired by our parents' work will be able to build on their foundation, learn from their mistakes, and make progress towards the goal that was so close to our father's heart--transforming the worldwide approach to spirituality and providing access for all to the mystical experiences that are our birthright, independent of church or creed." --- Erin and Moira Prophet, August 8, 2008

     Included in this statement is a rather bold and courageous idea, concerning "the mystical experiences that are our birthright." This seems to suggest that Erin and Moira now view their father's experiences as not only genuine, but a revolutionary treasure within the current cultural and religious framework, one that has the potential to turn the twilight zone of human existance, with all of its suffering, into a shining paradise of divine empowerment, individual by individual. For myself, for reasons that will soon become clear, I see this as a very positive development.

     Did you know that it was a sacred policy of the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood, a policy faithfully and strictly adhered to by both Messengers, Mark and Elizabeth Prophet, to capitalize the words "Ascended Masters" in all of the publications of the Summit Lighthouse? And did you know that this policy was suddenly and completely reversed two years after the 1999 retirement of Elizabeth Clare Prophet? I did a survey of the pearls on Pearls Online, and found uniform capitalization of the term "Ascended Masters" from the beginning, up to the year 2001. At a specific point in 2001, all of sudden the capitilzation tradition was dropped. Here is the series of 2001 pearls which contain the term "Ascended Master" or "Ascended Masters" which I examined closely, where you can see the transition point clearly.

     At the onset of the July 2001 Freedom Conference, the practice of capitlizing the term "Ascended Master" came to an end. That was interesting timing, when you consider that the infamous 9/11 terror attacks occurred later that year. Not necessarily a cause and effect relationship, but perhaps a common shadow of hatred is indicated.

     And if that isn't enough, in the October 1, 2001 issue of Heart to Heart we read the following:

"This summer it happened. Fire broke out on the Royal Teton Ranch. On August 25, a column of smoke swirled up from behind Maitreya's Mountain, a pilgrimage point near the Heart of the Inner Retreat."

     Indeed, fire breaking out near the Heart of the Inner Retreat.

     That was an infamous year for a couple of other reasons. David Drye was elected to the Board of Directors of this organization. And the pro-communist Lois Drake was elected to the council of Elders, and was later chosen by the Board to be one of the co-Presidents. (H2H, Vol. 4, No. 1). She took office in October 2001, just one month after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

     2001 was a bad year.

     In 1945, as World War II drew to a close, the United States was sitting on the doorstep of Japan, and Southeast Asia generally, and within a hop, skip, and a jump of the mainland of China, with the largest mass of Naval, Air, and Ground forces the world had ever seen. We were preparing for the invasion of Japan. But suddenly, the use of the Atomic Bomb extracted a completely unexpected surrender from Japan. Whoa! And what did President Truman choose to do with all of that U.S. Military power, which apparently had no where to go? Did he divert even a smidgen of it to support Chiang Kai Shek's Nationalist Chinese government soon to be in a fight for its life against the Chinese Communists which had used the Japanese occupation of the China mainland since 1937 as a sheild behind which it was able to immensely expand its power and control over vast regions of China? The answer is no. No U.S. Military power was used to help defend the Chinese mainland against the onrush of the Chinese Communist forces. Beyond that which was needed to occupy a now docile Japan, President Truman brought all of that militayr power home, and parked it in his garage, as it were. And soon thereafter, and that was in 1949, China fell to the Communists, without America lifting a finger. And certainly, we paid for that mistake in Korea, and in Vietnam, and we will pay the more in the upcoming battle for the Freedom of Taiwan. And the Chinese people paid for that mistake with their own blood, with their own freedom, countless millions of them, not to mention the sufferings of the people of Tibet under the Communist boot, with more than 50 years of enslavement to a totalitarian ideology and counting.

     Before I move on to my main point, I want the reader to remember this. If the U.S. had supported the cause of freedom on mainland China when we had the largest mass of military power every assembled in one place on the earth right there, fully fueld, locked and loaded, the war in Korea would have never happened. Korea would be a unifed free and peaceful nation today. The war in Vietnam would have never happened. And Vietnam would be unified and peaceful nation today. And of course, there again we look towards the people of Tibet. It would would be a free nation today as well. Choices matter.

     Now, why did President Truman stand aside and allow the Communists to take control of China? That is a pertinent question. It was primarily because the Chinese Communists were surreally adept at making themselves look like benign agrarian reformers, even proponents of democracy no less, while all the time they maintained their unswerving allegiance to the totalitarian agenda of Marxist-Leninst Communism, which become all too clear once they came to power.

     Let us never cease to engage in this important exercise, and it is an exercise that must be practiced, of not losing sight of the mask of democracy and free enterprise that Communists will wear while they are in the process of seeking power, that is to say, while they are in the process of gaining unwitting allies, while they are in the process of disarming their enemies, and comparing that to what will always happen in the aftermath, once the Communists have that power in their hands. When the Communist program of collectivzation of agriculture in China began in earnest, 1955 onwards, at that point, was anyone allowed to protest this move? Was anyone allowed to advocate a different way? The answer is no. All democratic slogans were put aside. All opponents either executed or sent to prison. Under Communism, there is only one reality, and it is the reality that the Party adopts as its program.

     To be fair, and this goes to the same point, most of the blame for this state of gullibity which occupied the minds of most Americans of that day, must be laid at the feet of Franklin D. Roosevelt, who made one of the Bloodiest Communist Dictators on the planet, one Joseph Stalin, into an American ALLY. He did not have to do that. No one was twisting his arm to do that. We could have won that war against Nazi Germany without at the same time creating a new enemy that would hold the threat of our total destruction over our heads for the next 40 years. If FDR would have said to the American people, we don't need the help of the devil to fight and win this war, the help of Almighty God is enough for us to fight and win this war, the American people would have followed him enthusiastically. Instead, he encouraged the American people to feel enthusiastic about having as their ally, one of the bloodiest dictators the planet has ever seen.

     I think in retrospect, our representatives in the U.S. Congress looked back upon the tangible disasters already fully formed by the mid 1950's as a result of this policy of looking to the devil for our deliverane from Hitler, and finaly understood the folly of it all. That is why they placed the motto "In God We Trust" on our money. It was not because we had already trusted in God. No, in all truth, we had not. We had placed our trust in one of the devils most faithful henchmen, one Joseph Stalin. And we were paying the price for it, the world was paying the price for it clearly at that time. And so, those words were a warning to the nation.

     And so this alliance with the devil was not simply built out of the flimsy weavings of so many words of moral support as so many alliances are. No. In fact, mountains and mountains of American Lend-Lease treasure were sent to the Soviet Communists, thousands and thousands and thousands of shiploads, to help them fight their war against Hitler, which left upon the ground, instead of a empty and tattered Bear Rug trampled into the dust by the Nazi's, a live bear standing on its hind legs, growling at the world, and able to grab what it wanted once the dust had setted.

     Smart move FDR.

     At any rate, the people in War Department and the State Department, and elsewhere at high posts in the Administration, had to be able to show some enthusiasm for the supposedly benign nature of the Communist Dictator Stalin And in this atmosphere of total delusion, and Truman was really caught up in that delusion big time, it was intellectually very difficult to focus one's mind on the danger of Communism. How can a friend of America, and an ally for the survival of the free world, be a mortal enemy at the same time? This conundrum represents an irreconciable electrode of confusion, like the business end of an electric mixer inserted into the batter of the mind, with the switch turned to the high speed position.

     In this atmosphere, getting back to our main point, an interesting tradition took root and held sway, wherein most people when they spoke about the Chinese Communists, would refer to them as "so called" Communists. This was the argument, that they were not "real" Communists to be feared like the Russians, and this argument was made even though we had made the Russians into our friends. I think it is safe to say, that in the shadow world of false hopes, the circular relationships of false logic are not perceived. Be that as it may, we see that by making the largest Communist nation on earth (the USSR) one of our dearest allies, thereby compelling, under the pressure of the existing war-time psychology, the American people to invest their hopes and dreams for victory in the world's bloodiest dictator Stalin, who become "Uncle Joe" to millions of unthinking Americans, FDR had turned the moral reference point on this subject upside down.

     And thus, primarliy because of FDR's policy to make Stalin into an ally, again, the world's most powerful and bloody Communist dicator, the atmosphere for clear thinking on the subject of Communism, was no where present in America in those crucial years, 1941-1945. This may seem hard to believe after tens of millions of Russians had already died from starvation due to the famine initiated by the Communist Party's collectivization of Russian and Urkrainian agriculture, yes, under Stalin's direction, but nevertheless, it is true. Because of FDR's policy, American's could not think clearly on this subject.

     And so, why did FDR throw every noble principle out the window, along with the recognition of all the nasty consequences that were sure to follow, to make this deal with the devil? FDR did that for the sake of expediency. Expediency provided all the internal logic necessary to justify the policy, believing that it served the short-term interest of defeating Nazi Germany in the shortest possible time frame, and that was, at the time, the only thing that mattered to FDR. Yes, FDR would feed and bolster one monster with mountains of American military equipment, and make it strong, very strong, in America's quest to defeat another monster, i.e. Adolf Hitler. .And he would encourage the American people to feel good about it, helping them to believe, by giving them a wide array of false assurances, that this burgeoning Communist Goliath, was no threat to America or to the democratic aspirations of the peoples of the world. Obviously, as history shows, FDR could not have been more wrong and more mistaken.

     Thus, in this scenario, we see the raw truth, in terms of the true nature of the Communist USSR, in all of its gory evilness, even a monster grinning at us through its already blood drenched teeth, but hidden from our eyes, standing behind what was an impentrable shield of delusional wishful and hopeful thinking on the part of FDR. Clearly, everything that FDR thought about the USSR under Stalin was shown to be false. All of FDR's hopes and dreams about the USSR playing a constructive role for world peace, and its internal evolution towards democracy, all elements of the delusion which FDR inculcated in all American leaders of that time (in order to get them to go along with his policy) was shown to be false. All of it was false. Of course, Stalin said the right things, he said what was needed to be said, gave the neccessary assurances, in order to receive unimaginable amounts of war material from the United States. And in that regard, Stalin becomes one of the best reference points for this truth, that Communists are the best liars, the most able and coldly calculating prevaricators, on the face of the earth.

     The same, then, can be said for everything that was thought about the Chinese Communists during that time period as well. They too said the right things to allay American fears. They too bent over backwards in a conscious and highly calculated way, to help all Americans who desired to be fooled, to be thoroughly fooled. To American diplomats, and journalists visting areas of China controlled by the Communists in those years, 1941-1949, the Communists would pay lip service to democracy, and they would pay lip service to free enterprise. And they would even try to appear more democratic than the Nationalist Government. And they would have examples at the ready to show and tell. They are masters at identifying the vested interests of their most dangerous (potential) opponents, and using those vested interests to create a shield behind which they can safely hide. But after it was all said and done, we learned exactly the same lesson from them, as we learned from Stalin. They will say what they need to say to get what they want. And that is power. Those who gather under the Communist banner, they have always been, and will always be into the totalitarian agenda defined by Marxism-Leninism. And that agena requires raw power, power than can be exercised without any political or military opposition. And we learned this. There are too many Americans who are ready to swallow their lies whole, and to believe them with more sincereity than they would believe anything written in the Bible.

     And so, there is a history here, and it is said of history, that those who do not read their history, they are doomed to repeat the mistakes thereof. And so it goes.

     The Marxist-Leninists in control of China today, are playing the same game. It is a game of survival first, power acquistion second, and power consolidation third.

     And so, let's be clear on this point. The Chinese Communist Party is in a survival mode today. Remember that the foundations of the World-Wide Communist Revolution shook to the uttermost with the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990's. When their survival is at stake, as we learned from Mao, they become very flexible with their words, and with their programs. What is it going to take to survive in a world where Communism has taken what appears to be a fatal public relations blow on a global scale. How can they survive, and come out of this more powerful than before? This is what they are thinking about day and night. However, they don't need to be that creative. They simply read the book written by Mao, and follow his lead. He was the Master deceiver which kept America out of the fight for freedom in China in the 1940's which paved the way for the victory of the Communist Revolution.

     This is what Mao said to his Party Cadres then. Look, America has the military power to defeat us. Therefore, our goal is to make sure that the American military is not sent to China in any great numbers. And so, what do we have to say to make the American leadership believe that we are no threat to their interests? Or even better, what can we say to help them to believe that we are, or can be their friends? Let us think about this soberly and honestly. And then let us say those things, and do those things, as much as it takes.

     The leadership of the Chinese Communist Party today is following exactly the same formula. Their Communist Revolution is about to be thrown into the trash bin of history. As the events in Tianamen Square in 1989 show, under the surface there is a seething disatisfaction with the Communist Party, and a desire for democratic reforms. The Chinese people know about the failure of Communism in the Soviet Union. The people as a whole, in terms of their allegiance to Party ideology, have never been more apathetic. There has been no time in the history of Communism in China when their hold on power has come under such a pervasive threat. When the Soviet Union collapsed, they knew that if they were to survive, they had to make some quick adjustments. They had to deflect as much of the building opposition as possible, so they took the most obvious path. They stuffed their true agenda into a trunk in the attic, like Mao himself did in the early 1940's. They got out in front of the capitalist parade, and waved their banners, and made it look like they are the leaders who will carry China forwards into a future of free enterprise and ultimate democracy. But of course, and again, that is exactly what Mao did in the early 1940's. How could this possibly work again? Well, it is working again. They understand the American vulnerability to delusion. That American's are shallow thinkers. That they typically see only so far as their most sacred and short-term vested interests. And what would that be? Trade and making money. This is like a god to the vast majority of Americans. And the Chinese Communists play to this weakness, play to this blindness, always remembering Lenin's famous principle that the capitalists can always be trusted to sell their enemies the rope that will be used to hang them by the neck until dead.

     And so, just as America consumated a marriage of convenience with the world's most powerful Communist Dictatorship in 1941, and thinking that it would make great gains thereby, but this expectation having been proven utterly false, you would think that America would have learned her lesson. But no. Here we have America again consumating a marriage of convenience with the world's most powerful Communist Dictatorship, this time the Chinese Communists, again thinking that it would make great gains thereby, but destined again to be utterly disappointed.

     The parralles between these two marriages of convenience are astounding.

     First, they were both based on the false idea that the "Communists" were no longer Communists as such, that they could be trusted to cooperate in a bright future of peace and prosperity for the planet. FDR put Stalin on the United Nations Security Council and gave him a veto! That's how hopeful FDR was. But this is how things turned out. Because America helped to boost the military power of the USSR to superpower status, many nations in Eastern Europe who of a right ought to have been free after WWII, were enslaved by this more powerful Communist Giant and lived in slavery under the heel of the Soviet boot for another 40 years. Moreover, because of this arrangement, China was lost to Communism. And Tibet fell to that newly established Communist power. Because of this arrangement America was drawn into both the Korean and Vietnam Wars. Beyond the actual American lives lost on the batttlefield in these subsequent wars, America had to spend untold treasures and resources in maintaining a global military posture to hold the balance of world peace over the next 50 years. And of course, because of this arrangement, America lived under the threat of total annihilation from the mid 1960's to the early 1990's. Because of this arrangement the whole nation of Afghanistan was actually laid to waste by the armies of the USSR, and in the state of chaos the followed, it became a safe-haven for the terrorists that would eventually attack the United States on September 11, 2001. That's a full circle. And they're not done yet.

     We do not, I repeat, we do not, have a similar list for Communist China yet, in terms of the consequences that will flow from the current marriage of convenience. But we can extrapolate from the partial list of consequences that we already have which flowed from America's misperceptions concerning the dedication of Chinese Communists to the Marxist-Leninist agenda. Remember, back in the 1940's they were the "so-called" Communists, that's right, the one's which invaded Tibet once they had the power to do so, smashing all of the Monasteris in strict adherance to the Marxist principle of Atheism. The one's that came to aid of their Communist bretherin in North Korea, spilling the blood of thousands of Americans. The one's that came to the aid of their Communist bretheran in North Vietnam, giving them sanctuary in their fight against the French in the early 1950's, and weapons in their fight against the Americans, again, helping to spill American blood. These were the "so-called" Communists who forced collectivzation on Chinese agrigculture producing a famine that took the lives of tens of millions. In this age of weapons of mass destruction, the consequences of the current marriage of convenience has the potential of being orders of magnitude larger.

     Second, the Communists Powers, Soviet in the First Instance, and Chinese in the second instance, each enter into this marriage of convenience with the United States, their ideological ENEMY, because it is what they must do to survive.

     The Communist Dictator Stalin entered into this marriage of convenience because he needed the resources of the United States to defeat the enemy that was then on Russian soil, in the person of Adolf Hitlter's Third Reich. Indeed, this is no exageration. He needed America's help to survive. Without America's help Hitler's Army would so weaken Stalin's Communist State, that it would then be vulnerable to attack from its internal foes. When Hitler marched into Russia, that should have been the beginning of the end of Soviet Communism. That invasion destroyed the internal balance of power. Without additional help, Stalin's Communist forces perhaps could have fought Hitler to a standstill, with victory going to neither side. But in that weakened state, Stalin could no longer hold onto power internally. But the United States, under the leadership of FDR decides to save Stalin's Communist State, pouring mountains of military equipment into the USSR, making Stalin's Communist Party into the hero that defeats the German invader.

     For their part, the Chinese Communists have entered into this marriage of convenience with America, again, with their ideological ENEMY, because they too need the resources of the United States to survive. Again, this is no exageration. The internal foes of the Chinese Communist Party have never been in a better position to lead the people in a new direction behind a banner that proclaims the emptiness of all Communist promises, as amply illustrated by 70 years of Communinst failure in the USSR, leading to the total collapse of the Communist Party there as a ruling power. Chinese freedom activists could have said this and with great authority: "Look after 70 years, the Russian people had no faith in Communism, and they threw the whole ediface of lies down into a pile of rubble. We should do the same! We must do the same!" An argument that could have been greatly amplified by the experience of the Chinese people themselves. Their experience of more than 50 years of Communist failure in China itself underscores the emptiness of all Communist promises. Enter the United States with unimaginable mountains of cold cash to build factories, which make China's economy one of the fastest growing and most prosperous in Asia! Making the Chinese Communists the heros of the people, lifting millions out of poverty. America's financial intervention in Communist China at this time has shut the mouths of those who might have been able to lead the people in a new direction. Just as it did with Stalin, America's intevention has giving the Communist Party a new lease on life.

     I understand how many people cannot understand how it would be possible for the Chinese Communist Dictators to resort to Marxist-Leninist principles in the Chinese economy after having experienced the boom in prosperity associated with this short experiment with capitalist practices. But those who form the core of the Chinese Communist Party and who keep their hands on the levers of military and police power, actually feel great anger and hatred for this particular spectacle before which they must prostate themselves in the name of survival. From the Communist viewpoint, free-enterprise in action is actually base greed in operation, a very low and despicable expression of the lower order nature of the human animal, detestable when compared to the ideal of the new Communist man defined in the Marxist-Leninist social enigerring handbook. As Lenin and Mao both said, in order to retain power, or further facilitate the acquistion of power, the world socialist movement must from time to time bow down before the practical needs of the situation, when the people, the unwashed proletarian masses show themselves to be unprepared at a particular moment in time to put on the ideals of the new Communist man. This flirting with Capitalist practices which we see on a wholesale basis in Communist China today, does not mean they have abandoned their ideal, and does not speak (to them) of the emptiness of their ideal. It speaks only to a temporary condition wherein the people show themselves to be unprepared to live the Communist Ideal as it was first set forth by Karl Marx.

     But when conditions are ripe, they will change the economic approach back to a more socialist bent, because they believe, and religiously so, that their Communist Man, again defined by Marx, when rightly educated, will out produce these crude greed driven individuals, who are clearly only a small part of the whole population. And in this we see the lever by which they will be certain to change the landscape in a twinkling of an eye. Those who rise in the ranks of wealth being a relatively small portion of the population can be easily swept aside by the resentments which the Communist Party is full capable of whipping up in the vast majrity of the population which has not been able to take advantage of the capitalist experiments. The Marxist ideology of exploitation will again be used to lable those who have wealth and property, and that wealth and property will again be confiscated, and redistrubited by the State at the appropriate time that the Communist Leaders believe they can jump start their revolution back into the prominent position in Chinese scoiety. They are totally mistaken in this regard, but they believe it. At the time that their survival depends on a large flow of foreign investment, they will not tell you to your face that this is wha they believe. But this is what they believe as evidenced by the known and recorded behavior of all Communist leaders that have gone before them. And so, just as America consumated a marriage of convenience with the world's most powerful Communist Dictatorship in 1941, at the very time where that Communist Dictatorship could have been weakened to a point that would have allowed the forces of freedom to regain control, and thinking that it would make great gains thereby, but this expectation having been proven utterly false, you would think that American would have learned her lesson. But no. Here we have America again consumating a marriage of convenience with the world's most powerful Communist Dictatorship, this time the Chinese Communists, again at the very time where that Chinese Communist Dictatorship could be weakened to a point that would allow the forces of freedom to regain control, and again thinking that it would make great gains thereby, but destined again to be utterly disappointed. in the early 1990's has again consumated a marriage of convenience with the world's most powerful Communist Dictatorship, this time the Communist Chinese. In 1941 America got some help in defeating Hitler. But it lost far more than it gained. Because this arrangement allowed the Communists in the USSR to survive, and to field a much more powerful army than they had ever hoped for, they were elevated to world it is important to carry forth the historical lessons, and juxtapose the same to the present circumstances. First, and on the one hand, we had America relying on the largest Communist Power, in Stalin's USSR, during World War II for help in time of need, to defeat Hitler, yes, but to make the world safe once again for those who love peace. Stalin delivered on the short term goal, as this was in his direct interest, to eject Hitler's Armies from Russian soil. And in the process was made more powerful than ever. And once he did not need us anymore, and had the power to take what he wanted, that it what he proceeded to do. He took the whole of Eastern Europe and all the peoples therein, as his own slave states. Second Therefore, in the great captilast quest to fill their bank vaults with gold, the Chinese Communists have become their trusted allies, just as Stalin was the trusted ally of FDR during WWII. to that god. That is why it is written on their money. In God we Trust. In the God of Money we Trust. The God of Money will make everything ok. And, come into China, and lets make a lot of money together.

     Take a look at this image from the TSL Electric Peak web cam from March of 2006. Notice how nice and true the blues appear.

     Obviously, there is some technical issue involved here. But the point is, that the Anti-El Morya inertia which has gripped the hearts and minds of the leadership, has placed what appears to be an impenetrable block in front of the feet of those who are responsible for the quality of this webcam.

     They can see with there own eyes that something is wrong. The sky is pure blue, but the camera shows a washed out image every time. What's wrong? They simply don't care enough anymore to make it right. It's been this way all year long.

     It is a visible representation of the washed-out nature of their loyalty to the Teachings. When people put their own self-interests before the teachings, the quality of their souls, which might have been true-blue at one time, well, its gets washed out. (See the discussion of the ego first, Morya second psychology of the current leadership in "The Whited Sepulchre"). A picture is worth a thousand words.

     And look, they are farther away from the Summit than they were before. How about that. Lots of things in the way now.

     Yes, indeed, I have said it before, but here is another opportunity to say it again. The war for the victory of freedom in Iraq, and thereby, in the larger Middle East as well, provides a reality check for every person on earth, revealing to them in no uncertain terms, whether or not that have a threefold flame, or whether they have lost it sometime in the past.

     The individual I was referring to in the last blogger entry who expressed Anti-Semetic sentiments to my face, also expressed to me a degree of contempt for the effort the United States is making in setting the Iraqi people free. This is an indicator that the person has no threefold flame, having no internal power which will rise up and illuminate the temple in defense of freedom, and gives us an illustration of what it is exactly that causes the threefold flame to go out. And that is the indulging of hatred, Anti-Semitism being one of the strongest forms.

     The logic that underlies this conclusion is simple. The power that redeems, the power that sets the soul free, is the Powerof God's Love. And the central electrode for that power is the Divine Heart, and the spiritual flame within that heart (which provides, among other things, a cosmic node of universal knowledge and communication.)

     Whenever the opportunity presents itself to support the cause of freedom, the power in the heart will rise up and support all efforts to establish the outer institutions of freedom, as this is what allows the Path of Initiation to be anchored among the people. It is the Will of God for the people of every nation to have the opportunity to learn about the Path of Initiation, and to have the opportunity to pursue that path if it is their choice. The heart flame supports that agenda every time. There are no exceptions to this rule All the power of the Divine Heart goes to fulfilling this plan and purpose for the people of Iraq.

     For the people who simply don't care, the best we can say for them, is that they have no threefold flames. But for the people who actively fight against the effort, and oppose it with every ounce of their being, like the Ted Kennedys of this world, and the Cindy Sheehans of this world, like the Michael Moore's of this world, these people not only have no threefold flames, they are being manipulated and used by the false hierarchy to crush the cause freedom itself.

     Those who feel that freedom is important for the people of Iraq, and can see and feel how the flame of freedom anchored there can expand to illuminate the entire Middle East, these people have threefold flames.

     And what does that say about Presidential Candidate Obama? He does not have a threefold flame. He is a tool of the false hierarchy. And what does that say about Presidential Candidate John McCain?

     One would think that because John McCain strongly supports the war in Iraq (now), that he must have a threefold flame. But no. That would not be a correct analysis. The true colors of John McCain were evident for everyone to see prior to the time he required this issue to win the support of the conservative base of the Republican Party. Before that he was a Bush hater big time, and joined in the left-wing Democratic chorus of Bush and Rumsfeld haters. At the point where McCain's presidential ambitions were in the toilet, when it become evident to him, that this issue was the only thing that would give him a chance to win the Republican nomination, he grabbed the banner, and ran out in front of the parade, making it appear that he was the leader of the parade! This is a classic modus operandi of the fallen angels.

     John McCain has about as much photonic power as a burned out night light. The way in which he betrayed the POW community over the issue of trade and diplomatic relations with Communist Vietnam tells the story. Against all the dictates of common sense, he wants everyone to believe that the leopard can change its stripes. Impossible.
