To All Who Would Discover Truth and Exclude Error:
When will humanity awaken to the wiles of manipulation? When will they realize that their best values are being traduced? When will they perceive that even from their earliest training in the schools the scum and ignorance of the world have been fostered upon them as delightful tomes of sacred wisdom? The most beautiful cups sometimes contain the darkest poisons, and frequently these poisons are introduced via the most pleasant-tasting elixirs.
The publishing industry of the world, in the hands of a few through cartels and secret agreements, seems bent upon pushing humanity into a one-world government, founded not upon Ascended Master law but upon the decadent philosophies of the laggards. Many are the couriers trained in Moscow who have gone forth in the name of religion, in the name of brotherhood, in the name of Christ to create an ecumenical attitude in the hearts of men. Concealing their real purpose of world control through a world council, they espouse noble causes - but their motives are dark.
If the people of the noncommunist world, those in the lower income brackets as well as those in the higher, were given the opportunity to travel behind the iron and bamboo curtains and to see for themselves the so-called glorious socialist republics, they would be shocked to find conditions there far from what they are purported to be. They would perceive the odor of decay and discouragement that has become an oppression to the souls of men as the result of the destruction of religion, the domination of the lives of the people by the state, and the paltry rewards that are offered them for their labors.
Those who presently enjoy a relative state of freedom in the democracies and republics of the world would, under a Communist government, lose the simple and beautiful everyday liberties they now take for granted. Such a loss of personal freedom, due to the bureaucratic restrictions that would be imposed upon the people, would drive millions to suicide.
The nightmare of these conditions does not present as great a contrast to the prevalent standards of living in the Far East, where many of the freedoms of the western world are unknown, as it does in the West. Here the blessings handed down from the time of the founding fathers of America as precious gifts of freedom are taken for granted by the majority of the people. But if these were lost, life itself would seem no longer to be worth living.
Those Atlantean overlords who have reembodied and moved into the same positions of control which they abused on that lost continent are once again using their power in the press, television, in radio, and in such institutions of financial control as the World Bank and the Federal Reserve System to misdirect the affairs of the nations. These manipulators, who know that to issue and control a nation's money is more important than writing its laws, are drawing the halter tighter and tighter about man's destiny in this age.
Their spies are everywhere; and yet, as in the early days of the American Revolution, freedom is a flame that lives in the hearts of the people. Farmers, mechanics, working men, teachers, merchants, professional men, native-born as well as those who have adopted the American way of life - one and all must determine that nothing shall wrest from them their liberty and their freedom.
I am certain that many understand that modern methods of communication, if properly used, would enable the people to educate their young and to receive untold blessings in this day and age; instead, they are being victimized through the misuse of the very instruments which were released by the Brotherhood for the enlightenment of man.
Individuals must learn not to believe everything that they read; they must also learn not to believe all that they see. They should be taught to discriminate; they should be taught that in some matters they are not qualified to judge, simply because their capacity for judgment has not yet been developed along certain lines. They should be warned not to allow themselves to be emotionally stampeded into making decisions or accepting the decisions of others when their own faculties of discernment have not been fully educated and they are not capable of understanding all that is taking place.
Because men have not yet lost all of their freedoms, but still enjoy so many - especially in the free nations of the world - they fail to take into account the great blessings they are receiving. We at the Ascended Master level, perceiving the espionage activities in industry, in government, in the schools, and in the churches, observing the placement of Soviet cells in the major cities - most of which are located near communications facilities and military installations, knowing the history of the Bolshevik Revolution and witnessing the same subversive activities being carried out today in the Congress of the United States, add our solemn warning to the religious people of the world who would guard the Christ consciousness and the cosmic honor flame:
If you desire to have the purity of the true teachings of Christ and the reality of the Brotherhood endure, if you desire to retain the freedom to worship the God of your fathers as you elect to do, you must recognize the God of your fathers as you elect to do, you must recognize that now is the time when you must stand behind the faith, even as the faith has stood behind you.
If the free world is no longer free and organized religion is banned or made a ward of the state, do you think the teachings of the Ascended Masters will be made available to humanity? Not so! You will be denied every opportunity to have our guidance. For this reason - the guarding of the Christ, the light, and the eternal hope of personal salvation for all, as well as for the collective good of all - we say:
America and free world, awake! The people of all lands await the hour of your awareness when, casting off the yoke of all those who would rule you, you shall cleave with all your heart to the Light of the ages and understand that freedom is more than a name: it is a game in which all must engage or be tyrannized.
Eternal vigilance is indeed the price of liberty; and the Brotherhood, challenging the motives of the anarchists who would selfishly and callously control the children of men, calls unto every son of freedom, unto every daughter of freedom, to be aware of your great heritage and to enrich it by your life and never permit its flag of high honor to be cast down by mutinous hands.
"In God we trust" should be your motto still
"In God we trust" to do his holy will
"In God we trust," whose starry diadem
Sheds forth his light to shine upon all men.
The dark and sullen ages pass,
Yet light of hope is born
The midnight passes into day,
A golden age is born.
The free way is the best way;
His scale of judgment stands
To measure every deed of man
Improving all who can
Accept the fire of his love,
His wisdom never vain
Receiving power from above
And holding forth his flame.
The age of brotherhood will come
To be no secret pact
But honor in the flame is born
As man like God does act.
The glory of the highest, then
Will bring his peace to men
And every heart will understand
The mighty swordlike pen
That writes "Finale!" to the past
Where greed and hate did live,
And welcomes joyously at last
The brilliant love he gives.
Let every hour our finest be
As moving onward, then
We sing the anthem of the free
And new life does begin.
That truth may triumph in freedom's name,
