The oft-repeated tale of the unfortunate maiden whose life was forfeited in innocence - she having been falsely accused of stealing a string of pearls - is a classic illustration of the miscarriage of human justice. The figure of Justice holding the scales stood in the town square where she suffered her cruel fate. Her innocence was proclaimed by Heaven when a bolt of lightning struck the scales of justice, dashing them to the street and revealing within one of the scales a swallow's nest in which had been woven by the birds ... the lost string of pearls.
Blessed Ones, may I remind that it is not the blindness of Heaven nor of the Goddess of Justice which convicts the innocent, but rather a lack of discernment and the concept of true equity on the part of mankind that does injustice to Justice. The existence of Courts of Last Resort and Courts of Appeal testifies to man's recognition that all administration of so-called justice, meted out by men, is not truly just. For this reason the Great Masters have always admonished, "Judge not." And yet, those charged by law with the responsibility of interpreting and administering those codes which have been enacted as means of maintaining orderly government upon Earth are, in most cases, acting according to their highest concepts of Truth. The latter, for the most part, do attempt to establish in their decisions and decrees those traditions which will make the rule of law a blessing rather than a bane.
Mankind are often prone to criticize that which they do not thoroughly understand. Notwithstanding, progressive suggestion and understanding must replace ignorant faultfinding in regard to the necessary laws of the nations, which are indeed complex, being based as they are upon centuries-old precedent and the experience of many astute and sincere men and women.
The rule of Justice is intended to be one of law, and the purpose of law is to secure the blessings of Liberty to all men and their posterity. Safety throughout the tenure of earthly life includes the rights of property and person. National law supersedes state law in the united community of states. International law ought then to supersede that of each nation and strengthen the bond of "World Equity." Men ought to gaze upon the phenomenon of LAW as the rule of Justice and seek to establish LAW as Justice.
Come, now, let us reason together: When the Golden Rule is loved, understood, and obeyed by all, will not Divine Compassion, governing in each individual life, make the rule of law unnecessary? Likewise, will not this Golden Rule "Oversoul" act as a universal mandate to relieve the necessity of human law? Yet, woven in the great Temple Courts of Atlantis, where the magnificent spiritual inheritance of Atla ruled, some degree of Justice was administered as a public necessity by the High Priests of Atlantis.
The intentions of men are weighed carefully by The Karmic Board, it is true, in meting out the Justice of Heaven, but greater by far than all human "well-meaning" are the results of men's acts upon one another. Of course, through misunderstanding and misinterpretation, many have suffered in a most dire manner at the hands of another whose every intent was good. Each case, then, brought before The Great Karmic Board requires the utmost skill in order to set before each lifestream and all parties to every case the greatest possible Opportunity to work out their individual destinies under Divine Guidance so as to afford the greatest possible degree of spiritual progress.
O, mankind, in all of your hearts' cries for Divine Justice and for justification of yourselves, do you not realize that the best Gifts are obtained from God for the asking, and that through the just use of those Gifts you attain new and untapped treasures of your Infinite Inheritance? Do you not know that through obtaining from the Hand of Heaven such gifts as Wisdom and Justice (manifest as a spiritual sense of discernment) you can find greater happiness here and now and more glorious Spiritual Freedom through the unfolding of the Divine Plan for you? So many call for Justice, yet upon themselves practice the most frightful deceits!
Honest evaluation of your Immortal, God-given Treasures, which are administered by Heaven without partiality or favor, will cause you to seek your own portion of God's wonderful LAW OF JUSTICE. Mere words can never describe what a blessing you will obtain or how much Freedom you will enjoy when you cut yourselves free from the need to feel bound by human concepts. I do not imply that all human use of thought has evolved wrong concepts; I simply report that those which are not founded upon Justice and Truth are erroneous and those which are founded upon the Law of Righteousness are a part of Cosmic Honor and Righteousness.
It is the real and "Divine Sense" of Heavenly Justice that I would inspire within you, the feeling of security that rises in the Hearts of those whose every thought and deed can echo the inscription upon the coins of the United States, "IN GOD WE TRUST." O, in the Name of Cosmic Justice, let men and women hourly reiterate their faith and trust in God, and let them do so in the spiritual awareness of the vibrant Reality of Cosmic Justice, permeating the Universe. Let the Divine Idea be your mandate of "Cosmic Independence" and emancipation from all sense of the false and unreal.
I AM holding the balance of Faith for you,
