Ladies and gentlemen, open your eyes that you may see, for without vision the people perish. And I think that the time has come to bestow abundant life on everyone and, by the opening of the eye, to create the realization of the beauty which God already is and which he longs to bestow upon every heart seeking deliverance from bondage.
As I come to you now, it is mindful then of age-old symbols - symbols that have brought comfort and a release of the divine radiance to mankind down through the ages, not only in this current time, but in eras now dim and of the distant past, forgotten by mankind and held no longer in the archives of mortal men, but remaining completely established in the beautiful akashic records.
We come to you then to speak of the Holy Family as a symbol of Christ-unity. The Holy Family as a symbol was the reason why I used on the Santa Maria, as Christopher Columbus, the symbol of the Maltese cross, and why I also named the vessel Santa Maria. For the Holy Family is not a mere localized in time image, it is a timeless symbol of the divine ideal of the Holy Triunity.
Men through their semantic knowledge call this the Trinity. We call it the Triunity, for it is a manifestation of the Father/Mother principle and a manifestation of the offspring of that principle. It is much as though one were to take a bow and bend it, flinging an arrow toward an infinite mark, to know that the offspring of the Father/Mother consciousness is the Son, whose glowing radiance will bring transcendence and infinite accomplishment to the product of the twain.
Let me say then that the Holy Family as symbol was revered on old Atlantis long ago when Atlantis manifested the beauty of the golden-age civilization. The breaking down then of the Holy Family pattern is the intent of the sinister force. The Communist communes and all those organizations designed to tear away the mothers from their children, the children from their mothers, and to separate the family so that unity cannot be employed are a distinct antichrist manifestation which the sinister force intends to wield as a means to destroying this civilization piecemeal.
Now I say to those of you who might consider this statement to be a prophecy of doom that such is not my intention. For I have come to you this day in order to avoid just such a happening. Because the forces of shadow in the world community are legion and are everywhere dispersed, it requires great vision for men to be able to see them and to ferret them out and to recognize that in keeping the flame of Almighty God, they must stand for something, not against everything.
We want all to understand then that when you stand for something, you ought to stand for the symbol of the Holy Family. And the Holy Family and its magnificent triunity is actually captivated in many manifestations - the father and the mother of any family and their child create a trinity of unity. Let me say also that the symbol of myself when embodied as Joseph, with Mary and Jesus, is also a symbol of triunity. Understand then that within yourself you have also resident the triunity of God in many ways - in the threefold flame of love, wisdom, and power within your heart, in body, soul, and mind.
Understand then that our purpose in coming to you today is to render a great assistance to you and to the world community. For the world community has been decimated by many forces that have actually sought literally to make mincement of mankind, to chop them up into small groups that they can easily be destroyed. As you know, there is strength in union, and the symbol of that strength must not be just a symbol. It must be an active force to be wielded and employed in the world of form by the ascended masters and to hold the victory of this earth within its concept.
Let me say to you then that life is long but unless it be fruitful, it is worthless. For man's life, given unto him as the precious gift from God on high, is intended to become enrichened and ennobled by the Spirit of Truth and by the Spirit of Christ-grace.
Let not your hearts be troubled this day by outer conditions then, or by circumstances beyond your control. If you have conditions within your world which seem to bring you distress, or if everything is not just as you like it at this moment, be aware of the fact that this moment is the moment of alchemy. It is the moment when you can determine that you will change your tomorrows by what you do today.
For many it may seem a bit too late, but I say, not so. For any right action that is commenced at any moment in time can bear fruit if men will keep their faith in it and understand that they must commit that right action to God as one commits a seed to the warm earth and have full faith in the organic processes that will produce the full-blown flower from the bud.
We understand how mankind are divided into many groups, splintered up here and there, and this is a part of the plan of destruction for this age. But I love America. I love America for the support that has been given to America by the ascended masters and by Almighty God. But I also love the world. And I want you to understand that my great love for America is because I have felt through the ages since the formation of this land that America had the potential to become a wayshower to the world, a cup of light that would enable the emergent democracies in the world to be able to uphold the teachings and principles of good example which mankind would shew forth here in this world.
Is it any wonder then, seeing that this was my dream and the dream of Almighty God and the heavenly hierarchy, that the powers of darkness and shadow should seek to destroy this land and bring an enormous blight into this land to create destruction everywhere by strife and by confusion?
Let me understand then in the depths of my soul why the conditions that presently exist in America do exist, that by my understanding you may have imparted to you by a form of osmosis the understanding that is within my heart. I do not find fault or desire to chasten individuals. I do not find fault and desire to chasten groups. For today I am looking into the great crystal of cosmic truth and I see that in the main, mankind have found that they reinforce one another's ignorance.
I want you to ponder upon that for a moment as you grasp the principle that when men have an idea, the first thing that they do for the idea is to seek support for it. They want to find people who will agree with them. And thus if their idea is based upon ignorance and they can find enough individuals to support their ignorance, they think that they are right and that their idea ought to remain a permanent part of life. And therefore they tell it to their children, and they tell it to their children's children, and it is printed and bound in books, and it remains as a perpetuation of defamatory truth, for it defames the real.
I want you to understand then that the plot is legion, the plot is dispersed and spread abroad, and many good people have put their hand to the plow that plows a wrong furrow, a crooked furrow, and they have supposed that it was straight because in their consciousness the concept seemed so right. I remind you then that these individuals have been able to compromise the very faith that they possess and that they claim is real. They have compromised it and found an excuse for going forth into the world and performing acts of perfidy against their brothers.
You would be amazed if I were to tell you today, for example, that which has been done in the world of finance in America alone, not to speak of the world - corruption and crookedness beyond mankind's comprehension, which has sought to defraud not only the children of this generation, but of generations yet unborn of their heritage, of their right, and of the very clothes that they should wear upon their backs. But we are not so much concerned with the material inheritance of mankind as we are for the spiritual; for it is the spiritual inheritance that is obscured and that has been altered, and a thrust made against it again and again in myriad ways.
You may wonder why I choose this day to speak on this subject. Because, beloved ones, it is only this day that you are sure of. None of you are able for certain to claim tomorrow. And today is the day when I feel - while men are conscious of the crown of thorns, which they really ought not to be - that I desire to teach them that there is a way to blunt and break those thorns in mortal consciousness and in the world of form and to bring America into a breathing awareness of her great destiny.
For the destiny of America is very much in my heart, solely because America is, in effect today, the key to the destiny of the world. The ascended masters do not actually work for only one nation; they work for the entire human family. And therefore I am taken in consciousness back to the time of Nimrod and the Tower of Babel,1 and I am aware of the fact that those who came together in that sun-drenched city and watched Nimrod as he sought to build his vast tower into the heavens did not fully comprehend the meaning of oneness. And yet they did disperse and spread abroad through their proximity those negative qualities which were the bane of mortal existence at the time. And therefore it was the will of God that they be dispersed into many places upon this rich terrain of the earth.
I say to you all then that as the ages have passed, the dream of God has constantly been to find a place where a kingdom could be set up that men might enjoy the fruits of freedom and be blessed. America was chosen, and I myself played a mighty part in its forging destiny. My writings in the Novum Organum as Francis Bacon and all of the work which I did in England, merrie olde England, was also a service unparalleled, according to my cosmic peers, on behalf of the cause of freedom. And thus they have seen fit to award unto me the title of the God of Freedom.
I give it unto you, for I myself would rather by far that the crown that I have received should rest upon your head and the heads of all mankind than just upon my own. I hope that you will understand this, for every individual who is raised from mortal consciousness into the realm of immortality recognizes the tremendous debt he has for his freedom to mankind.
I want you to know that it was embodied individuals around me that provided me with the various tests which I passed that enabled me to obtain my freedom. It was not always those who were kind to me that enabled me to pass the tests. Many times it was a result of those who were unkind to me and my reaction to it that enabled me to pass the test. For God tries every man's work that he may see as to just whether an individual is ready for the next step.
And thus America is currently being tried, for the karma of America rests heavily at the present moment. And as the sword of Damocles hangs over the head of the American people, I remain at your side! I stand with you! [audience rises] I stand for you! I remain to assist you! And I am determined that we will together roll back the aggressive tide that has sought through the youth of America and their intents to destruct this great country and to torpedo its bastions. Won't you please be seated.
How is this to be brought about? As this beloved messenger has told you, they have control of mass media and of practically all of the books; and all of the media of distribution are in the hands of the commercial and vested interests of the world. It has come to the place, precious ones, where politicians scarcely dare to breathe for fear they will draw enough energy from God to blow over some straw man. Do you understand what I mean? Do you understand there are so many vested interests in the world that they are crowding one another, and thus they scarcely can open their mouth to tell it for fear that they will be criticized, their support withdrawn, and the political office which they seek denied to them?
We do not think that this is proper. We do not think that this is correct. We do not think that this is a standard for a candidate to a public office of high stature to have. We feel that everyone aspiring to these high offices should recognize that they ought to be the greatest and most dedicated public servant. Yet at the same time, today it is scarcely possible for any ordinary individual, regardless of his intelligence, to find and seek the highest office in this land, that of president of the United States. For vast sums of money are needed to control media and to release to the news and to the American public that information which is calculated to enable the candidate to become elected.
I say unto you all then that during this election year, you must be extremely diligent, although you have no choice. You may ask why I say this. I say it because the greatest pressure and power in the world is the power of the ascended-master students and the students of the light when they decree for right action on the part of the politicians who still to this present moment fear the opinions and the thoughts of mortal men. If you don't believe it, look at how they pay attention to the polls.
I say to you then, you have no choice because the powers that be have established in all cases control in advance over the candidates that they seek to have nominated. We call this to your attention so that you will not be so much interested in the choices as you will be actually in the manifestation of obedience to the divine precepts that the elected candidate should follow.
However, I think that there is a lesser of the two evils and I presume that we will throw our support one way or the other at the proper time. Yet understand we cannot possibly announce it from the platform or reveal it through these messengers, for our constituency is actually itself divided and we do not presume to dictate the political opinions of those who follow us in this course of action. [To be concluded in next week's Pearl of Wisdom.]
