To Friends of Freedom Who Cherish Life and Would Keep
It Free - A Manifesto from the Adepts of the House of Rakoczy on the Attainment of Freedom from the Most
Dangerous Dogma of the Mechanization Concept:
As the present potential of progress, personal and planetary, is examined, we release the following advanced truths to all mankind, to those who are already able to cognize truth and also to those who will peruse my words until, by the dawn of pure reason and the effort of holy prayer, the great truths contained herein shall be correctly understood.
We begin, then, a manifesto designed to free the planet from some of the intense opposition to Good which has been generated by erroneous principles and abuses not regarded so by many who use them but which are certainly a deterrent to the flow of that divine element of Christ-good which would otherwise bring healing and peace and freedom to all men and to all nations.
Long ago in Transylvania,1 when the banner of the House of Rakoczy was first unfurled on behalf of the Great Cosmic Brotherhood, it was to bring peace and freedom to the world and to end the tyranny and oppression which for far too long had robbed mankind of his birthright immortal.
It has been necessary for us through the ages to utilize many forms of communion and education, including what may be termed "coeducation," whereby the soul of man, apart from the mortal form while the body sleeps at night, is correctly informed about some of the great truths of the universe. These are wholly unacceptable to the domain of mortal reason in the daylight consciousness simply because teachers, friends, companions, and circumstances have already set up a mold and matrix based upon human concepts bereft of the wisdom contained in the golden pages of the record of pure God-truth.
Among his many profound observations concerning the human psyche, Saint Paul noted: "For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do ... I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me ... But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members."2
This dichotomy found in the valley of decision by every individual seeking to do right is often the result of a warfare which threatens to divide the very personal self of that one. But Christ said, "I came not to send peace, but a sword."3 The sword which is sent is the sword of Christ discrimination and truth which cleaves asunder the false from the true, showing men the reality of their divine nature and the utter futility of the human. It is designed to set apart those who choose to champion the cause of freedom rather than that of their own personal egos and smug concepts.
We commence, therefore, in this manifesto, to deal with problems out of the ordinary; and I must implore all who will read that which follows to understand that their study must be from the beginning. I am therefore causing to be issued with this instruction the direction that the following material and companion subject matter which will proceed for several weeks is not to be sent to any individual without the first part, which we will herewith label Part A.
While we desire to make this an ABC of Ability, Brotherhood, and Christly discrimination, we recognize that we may require the use of more of the letters of the alphabet ere we shall approach the place designated as X, the unknown quantity which signifies that sufficient knowledge has been released whereby even a little child might understand, with properly graded prior training, the great God-truth which we seek to convey for and on behalf of the cause of freedom.
Now, let us together read the text of my preamble which follows and proceed to deal correctly with the problems at hand, which ought to be swept aside so that every man may know himself, even as he is known.
We seek, then, to deal here with old dogmas as well as with currently popular religious theories and concepts in such a manner as to teach by the radiation of truth those positive ideas which will automatically remove elements of negation from the screen of consciousness. Let none, therefore, say that we are against either individuals, organizations, or even accepted concepts; but rather let us hereby make clear that we state those great truths for which we stand for those that have the ring of the celestial bells of freedom, intonated with the very substance of the precious metal of truth itself.
We shall deal first with some of the wrong ideas of men, more specifically with those centering about that which we shall term the monstrous mechanization concept - a most dangerous dogma.
Twentieth-century man is able to understand the laws of chemistry and the physical sciences. The atomic complex, the power of cohesion and adhesion, and the magnetism of orbital fields are familiar to him as they relate to the manifestation of form; but the spiritual ring-pass-not and its reason for being is scarcely understood, even by the few. Religious theory, in dealing with the creation, lays credit for the cosmos to an anthropomorphic God, presumed by some to abide outside the cosmos (and this is a deistic theory), and presumed by others to abide within the cosmos (and this is a pantheistic theory).
At this point I see nothing to be gained on behalf of freedom to enter directly into this human intellectual controversy. But I choose rather to sidestep the issue as immaterial and to deal with the fact that some among mankind seem to now feel that, because of current advances in science, it may have been possible at one time or it may be possible in the future for mankind to create life and form akin to the human body.
The latest strides in molecular science and the understanding of the chemical composition and cellular structure of the human embryo suggest the imminence of this achievement. Old religious theories concerning the creation become outworn as men find in scientific accomplishment an explanation for all things; and men are even ready to deny the existence of God, the Creator, on the basis that he is no longer needed since man can simulate creation itself.
Now, I do not desire to discourage men from probing the universe, but I would point out that there are those who presume still further to consider that it would be possible for them to create souls to inhabit the bodies which they expect to create.
An even greater step of ambition in this direction - which may seem a bit farfetched to men in lesser stages of spiritual development - would be for mankind to attempt also to create laws governing segments of the universe. If mankind can presume to create laws governing a segment of the cosmos, will they then contemplate the possibility that they may one day manage the entire cosmos? We might term this a manipulation (a man-i-pollution) of the cosmos by a manifestation (a man-i-infestation) of the cosmos called 'man'.
This rulership may appear at first to be the manifest dominion which God himself bestowed upon his original creation in the Adamic era.4 But when men pause to think in terms of themselves creating a physical body, they must realize that such an approach to the manipulation of life would be akin to the very creation of the universe itself and could reach that ultimate point of danger upon which subject we choose to warn.
Now, I well realize that we give here what is very definitely an advanced phase of our instruction, and we give it to those at all levels and so state for the record. Our reason for doing this is in order that even the uninitiated in this day and age who require it might have some form of protection against the manipulation of the social structure by man as well as the manipulation of individuals by one another. For these human manipulators are under the direction of nefarious forces which exist in the world as antichrist with the expressed intent of aborting the very Christ plan and design by which God himself hath made all things.
You have heard that antichrist shall come, and even now are there many antichrists.5 This warning spoken two thousand years ago by the beloved of the Christ is reaffirmed today by the "cloud of witnesses"6 which remain to defend the children of earth from all harm; for the latter days of an age have been fulfilled and the crux position of this Kali Yuga must yield to the coming age whose threshold has for some time been forestalled.
The tenacity of the old age, its outworn structures which cling as tired garments and worn skins incapable of retaining the new wine of spiritual regeneration,7 must give way to the purity of the new doctrine of spiritual at-one-ment, divine attunement, and Christly attainment. Whether through acceptance by contemporary man or by a divinely superimposed catharsis whereby the soul of the planet is purged, the cosmic edict must become a fait accompli!
As the dying might and embers of the past age continue to burn through the long night, as the first rays of the regenerate dawn with their immortal stirring become a hope to the world of better things to come, the Spirit of the Lord moveth again as of old upon the waters of human consciousness8 to reform the perfect image.
Now, I think that I have the record before me and the thoughts of ancient akasha as well as the projected aspirations of the Brotherhood which are evidence of great blessings to come. When the purging is complete and the mind of man shall have accepted the vastness of its own unfettered spirit (and when the psychic straws that have broken the backs of many a camel are removed), then shall the soul expand not upon the back of mechanical virtue but upon the inherent grace of God, born afresh daily in the reality of being - in the ritual of becoming, in the Creator and Sustainer of all good.
I urge therefore that all, including those who are but beginners on the Path as well as the most advanced, shall understand that this type of instruction will require meditation and balance. We do not speak here in a vein designed to drive men from a state of rationality to one of confusion. But rather do we seek to clarify, by careful planning, some of the basic concepts which have been used to drive in against civilization from hidden levels of negation; for these do captivate the being of man in an insidious and subtle manner without his awareness.
The subject matter which I am discussing herein is very familiar to beloved Jesus and to beloved Saint Germain and Mother Mary and to all those who have attended the inner-level schools of the Brotherhood. Those who are privileged to attend these "upper level" classes in the etheric realms are progressively informed concerning the development of great civilizations which existed on other systems of worlds even before the birth of this planet or of its systems. They are also informed of the great matrix of hope that is held in the heart of the Great Silent Watcher for the lifewaves now connected with the planet Earth. It is no small grace, then, that in discussing what we have termed the dangerous dogma of the mechanization concept, we pursue it relentlessly until it is made clear to all.
It must first be presupposed, and that correctly so, that God in the beginning, by the creation of man in his own image, did express the innate desire of the Godhead that man, made in his own image, have the inherent gift and power of free will. Man's use of free will, when directed according to the divine design, could produce only the same perfection as the Godhead itself would produce. Only by a misuse of the freewill principle could the individual monad miscreate and thus produce imperfection, thereby falling from the inherent grace of the divine pattern.
The power to create with which man was originally endowed in a grander manner than he now retains has been curtailed through the years by the Karmic Board as an act of mercy to the universe as well as to the individual lifestream who has thus been restricted insofar as his karmic balance is concerned.
Pause to consider the enormous karmic penalty which would be exacted if man exercised the power of destruction at the scale of a solar system or even a planet. Restricting him to the point where he could be capable only of temporary self-destruction would be to make him responsible in the main only for his own life and a limited influence upon others. Yet mankind do in this current hour hold the keys to a far greater destructive potential than they ever realize and which has held back the manifestation of universal good for ages.
I shall continue this dissertation, for we have not even begun to explore the mechanization concept.
Graciously I AM for the expansion of divine understanding,
