To the Patriots of Every Nation:
America is more than a nation; she is an ideal. From her earliest conception to the present hour, the divine forces have sought to transfer the higher consciousness from the realm of the ideal to the realm of manifestation. This was done in order that America could exhibit to the world a master radiance after which the family of nations might pattern.
The ascended masters have never been partial in their love of endowing man with cosmic grace. The Eternal God has desired that the whole family of nations should share jointly in the blessings which he would manifest upon the earth. America was a wilderness land; in selecting that land, God sought to produce a miracle framed as a new beginning in order that a beacon of hope might shine forth universal grace to every nation, buoying them up and removing the dust of the ages.
The strength that has been the forte of America has been spiritual. The words "In God We Trust" engraven upon the coins of this land, the emblem of the Great Seal of the United States together with her constitution and sacred relics were dedicated as holy talismans to lock the benefits God intends to bestow upon the world into the hearts of the American people.
The flame of patriotism that in past decades made the hearts of the people to beat faster at the sound of martial music and patriotic songs has always been a stimulus toward decency, order and charity. It is easy to see that the legacy of virtue, preserved within this great nation by the Eternal God for the whole world, has become the target of those enemies of righteousness who would extinguish the eternal flame. They do not know that they cannot extinguish the flame which is inextinguishable. But they try, as they have done, to hide it from view, to opaque its glory to the masses of mankind and the emerging young souls who come into life without awareness of their inheritance.
The busyness of the age and the chaos it has generated have concealed the truth from the youth of the world by means of many clever methods. The dark powers of the land have given voice to violence and discord to arouse the demons in human nature and then to cloak them with the vestments of the Church.
The living Christ in all of his glorious radiance, standing forth and saying unto the world, "Come unto me, all ye who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest,"1 is forgotten as men and women, under the malefic intent of the very denizens of the netherworld, open the doors of the great cathedrals to jazz masses and orgiastic activities.
The educational systems of the world are promoting a godless atheism which brings forth only partial glimpses of the evolutionary process as though the part were the whole. Mass media have been invoked to report sensationalism and to deny voice to truth. Government, which was instituted to serve the basic needs of man, has been involved in interminable controversy. The forces of safety and protection, inherent within the very system and way of life that constitutes America, have had to be invoked against the people whom they should serve. And now the world is asked to witness with rejoicing the downfall of the greatness that the Eternal Father, through the founding fathers, brought into manifestation to be a cup of light and blessing to the world.
We fan the fires of patriotism this spring. We fan the fires of allegiance to the eternal nation under God that serves only a world of divine unity, not a world of unity by force or violence. Past history records that whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.2 We look, then, for an awakening on the part of the American people; we look to them to repudiate the voices of discord that masquerade as wolves in sheep's clothing3 and plot the overthrow of a way of life that, while it may need correction in many ways, is still the highest and best that the centuries have produced in modern time.
The words "God mend thine every flaw" (from "America the Beautiful") ought to be accepted by every American as a fiat that is intended to evoke personal and national introspection and a striving toward perfection. Criticism is a disease that does not produce the fruit of rightful striving. It is lawless and destructive in its base intent and drags down the soul of the individual who submits to it. Thus the admonishment "Judge not lest ye be judged"4 went forth.
We are aware of the fact that the godless societies criticize the flaws of those nations that are outside of their fold whom they would overpower. We understand their methods of boring from within, of hiding behind legitimate facades, and deceiving the people. We urge, then, in view of the awful plots that have been hatched to overthrow the forces of freedom in the world, that every lover of freedom will heed our warning in his prayers, in his contacts, and in the renewal of his faith.
Jesus said long ago, "They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick."5 The sickness of the nations must be healed, the shield of righteousness must be used, the sword of the Spirit must be employed, and every magnificent action that man can take must be taken for the preservation of right values. The proper education of the masses must be accelerated and the protection of freedom must be carried on to the fullest extent of the law. Armageddon is at hand. The forces of destruction, with their godless philosophy, and the sweet, spiritual powers of the world to come are locked in a deadly embrace.
It is never a question of outcome, insofar as the power of right is concerned; but the battle can be lost in the realm of the individual - in the militant and vicious individual who, in the name of social justice, can excuse a conduct that tarnishes the image of justice and produces only the fruit of misery, never of order and peace. Knowing, therefore, that the little children who are incoming will be victims of man's dangerous defections from just action, we urge that this activity of light be expanded more and more.
A strengthening of the bonds of devotion to the preservation of God's dream for America and the world is in order. For the ascended masters, in far-off retreats and far-off worlds, are watching as the struggles of mankind go on, hoping and calling forth an avalanche of light to awaken men before it is too late.
Understand, then, O men of earth, that eternal vigilance is the price that you must pay if you are to preserve liberty upon the earth. Oh, act before it is too late! As a cosmic mother, I speak.
