The Revelation Of The Foundations
How, then, is it possible to expect successful results, when the seeds, laid into the foundation, bear within themselves a potential of dissolution? Fiery World III, 333.



F
or many years our meditation, service, and study have been directed towards a single end, to aid and support in any possible way the manifestation of the purpose of our Ashram. That purpose is to establish the foundations of the new civilization on Earth and to support the processes of the externalizing Hierarchy and the reappearing Christ which are essential steps in the revelation of those foundations.

When we talk of the foundations of an Age or of a society or anything else, we are talking about the basic conceptions, of reality upon which the micro builders or the macro Builders have manifested their will in form. A new Age requires a new civilization. This planet, and that, by the way, includes the fourth Kingdom, Humanity, is in the process of transiting out of the old planetary Piscean Age and into the new planetary Aquarian Age. On a vastly greater cycle, which probably concerns other planets or systems rather than just our planet—"One should never limit one's thinking to a single planet. [or cycle]" Agni Yoga #314—we are deeply involved in the transition from the Kali Yuga, the Black Age, a period of 432,000 years into the Satya Yuga or the Golden Age, a period of 1,728,000 years. (And, boy, are we ready for that one!)

The purpose we serve "to establish the foundations of the new civilization on Earth and to support the processes of the externalizing Hierarchy and the reappearing Christ" is a great assignment. It is also, more than likely, the basic reason, and impulse that brought us into manifestation in this particular age and at this particular time. As a group, we have had an awful lot of training for this gig.

This assignment does, however, beg a couple of questions: Why this and Why now, and How are we supposed to do this?

The answer to the "Why this" has to do with the Cosmic Cycles that govern evolution. The "Why Now" is because the exceedingly disastrous, and growing worse daily, condition of the planet demands it.

 As for the second question, How are we supposed to do this? We will see that it's basically a revelation/reconstruction project. However the revelation/reconstruction cannot go forward on the "old foundations."

This requires, much as many of us like to avoid looking at it, a clear understanding of the "foundations" upon which much of our present civilizations and cultures rest. We are particularly concerned with those of the Piscean era, the past 2500 years or so but also, of course, those of numerous previous millenniums. We need to understand what, in fact, these so-called foundations are; where they came from; and how they got here?

Generally, the short answer to the where and how is that for the most part, these so-called foundations are the results of ancient, way, way pre-Piscean Age, and deeply flawed assumptions concerning the nature of Reality. So, where did they come from? Simply, but profoundly put, these assumptions were generated as a result of the loss of the point of view of the heart. "Originally the boundary between the physical and the Subtle World was not so clear-cut. In the most ancient annals you can find fragmentary indications about the very close cooperation between these worlds. During the densification of the physical, the focus of the heart was needed to maintain a balance between the physical and the subtle energies. The corporeal world itself was necessary as a way of reworking matter and thereby increasing energies. But as you know, the intellect strove for isolation, which ended up impeding evolution. The time of Kali Yuga has been a difficult one; Satya Yuga must once more bring together the worlds, which were separated by force." Heart, 78.

In the Dvapara Yuga which immediately preceded the Kali Yuga there were only two pillars of religion, compassion and truthfulness. Dvapara Yuga, Wikipedia  During these times the Class structure or the Hierarchy of civilizations was based on these pillars. The loss of heart focus which was present in the Dvapara Yuga corresponds with the advent of the Kali Yuga the 432,000 year cycle out of which we are moving.

Here is a brief list of the conditions on the planet which were prophesied to be the products of the loss of the heart focus at the end of the Kali Yuga:
From the Mahabharata: Markandeya's discourse Wikipedia
"Avarice and wrath will be common. Humans will openly display animosity towards each other. People will have thoughts of murder with no justification and will see nothing wrong in that. Lust will be viewed as socially acceptable and sexual intercourse will be seen as the central requirement of life. Sin will increase exponentially, whilst virtue will fade and cease to flourish. People will take vows and break them soon after. People will become addicted to intoxicating drinks and drugs"

Sounds all too familiar!

Well, what does it mean in practical terms to lose the heart focus? What was lost with the heart focus, and what still prevails today is the realization and understanding of the fact of a unified multidimensional Reality based in Cosmic Principles. The prevailing view which replaced in dominance, but not totally, the heart focus was/is based on intellectually assumed mind generated “facts”. "The mind does not love fire, for it is always contending with the heart. The mind does not love wisdom for it fears Infinity. The mind attempts to limit itself with laws, because it does not rely upon flights. Thus it is possible to discover the earthly principle, and also flights into the Fiery World." Fiery World III, 463.

The broadly accepted view of most scientists and educated people holds that we live in a single physical dense dimension. Within this single physical dimension all things exist as separate entities completely independent of any other thing. All things including "men" are mortal. They die. And with the separation from Cosmic Reality which the loss of the heart focus caused, there was the absence of any thing after Life. Thus, the fear of death was implanted within the human psyche.
Religions attempted to fill this huge void in consciousness with two options: A. If you were bad, you got to go to either purgatory or hell, both of which held out the promise of ages, on the one hand or eternities on the other of horrendous torture and suffering. (See Dante's Inferno for a detailed and graphic delimitation.) B. If you were good, or rich enough to afford the indulgences on the open Priest Market, you got to have a harp, a neat set of wings and to play with other angels in the clouds or rest on a comfortable lounge on the right hand of God.

Given the current attitudes of the vast majority of humans, it is obvious that neither of these options was successful in eliminating the fear of death. Thus to prolong their lives and avoid their inevitable death and at best one of the above options,  all, or almost all, humans are involved in an eternal combat, covert or overt, with their immediate others, or with groups of others of their own species from neighbors to nations, and, simultaneously, with things of all types of other species. Forgetting for a moment the religious options, which none but the most frightened believed anyway, this heartless view gave us, as a foundational principle, the mind generated assumption that The Survival of the Fittest is a Natural Law.

The “science” that supports these conclusions and “facts” is totally based in the illusion of one dimensional materialism. Thus, its conclusions are extremely superficial. It denies the existence of any dimension other than the dense physical, or 99% of Cosmos. Thus it is ignorant of Cosmic Principles, and the endless motion of energy in and out of form that constitutes Infinity. It is totally unaware of the synthesis of Cosmos, of the indivisible unity of all energy and matter.

The assumptions that led to the Law of the Survival of the Fittest are not just words. These are the foundations that underlie what constitutes the Real World for the vast, vast majority of Humanity. They condition, support, direct, and control the behavior of most Human beings.

A Subtle Example: A few years ago my family and I were visiting the Olympic National Forest in Washington. We happened on a group of children that were being lead on a Science Of Nature walk by a National Forest Ranger. The group had paused by a fallen Douglas Fir tree that was 300 feet or more in length. The Tree had fallen 100 years or so ago, and was covered in many places with a varying layers layer of moss and vegetation. However, its remains made a clear straight path through the forest for a couple of hundred feet.

Close to where we were standing with the group of children, a row of small Fir trees had taken root in the detritus and were growing in a perfect line on the trunk of the fallen big tree. The Ranger was pointing out to the children how the root systems of the small trees were growing out and stretching down the trunk of the fallen tree to reach the ground. He said that the trees were in a race with each other to reach the ground and that the first tree to do so would rapidly grow and kill the other smaller trees.
For the Ranger, this scenario was an excellent example of the Natural Law of the Survival of the Fittest. He went on to elaborate, with a few examples of species extinction and such, how this phenomena was a basic Law of Nature, and that the Law works for the benefit of all, by eliminating the weaker members of the species from the evolutionary cycle throughout the planet. This Law, he pointed out, is Nature’s way of assuring that only the best or the superior members of a species survive to produce the next generation.

This person, a qualified Forest Ranger who was obviously quite intelligent and well trained, was simply not aware, or capable of seeing or realizing how absurd, how ignorant were the one dimensional conclusions that he was sharing as science with these children. Such trees, as this fallen giant, are called “nurse trees”. From a heart focused point of view, they naturally, intelligently, beautifully, harmonically recycle the Life force of Tree by providing a kind of nursery for the continuation of the cosmic cycle of treeness.

No tree is killed off and eaten by a more rapidly growing other tree. The Life force or energy of each of the tiny trees that had taken root on the nurse tree was not lost or killed. It is and always was one with all of the other trees and "lived" on with the One Tree.

Observations such as those offered by the Ranger are the results of the psychoses of a one dimensional form identification. They are not accurate in terms of the Nature Kingdom and when extrapolated, as Natural Law into the Human Kingdom they have become seed beds of terror, destruction and insanity.  The Life Force of Being Tree within each tree does not exist separate from any tree. Just as the Life Force of Being Human within each Human is not separate from Life Force of any Human Being.  The illusion of Separation and Conflict is not present in the trees, or in any other naturally occurring life form on this planet including human beings. The illusion of separation and all of the hideous consequences that flow from it are exclusively the product of delusional human beings.   

There is a lot to say about this, but the example pretty much captures the basic notion of the illusory assumptions regarding Life upon which our civilizations rest. It also opens a window into understanding how and why our present system is "hell bent" on self destruction. The "rationale" of our present controlling systems, Social, Economical, Governmental, were gradually generated as divine truth by those individuals who had under the prevailing view of reality "got their roots into the ground first" or had gained the top positions in the power structure. Not possessing the heart view or the Wisdom of Nature, these individuals saw themselves as the Kings and Rulers, the Royalty, the most deserving and superior beings generated by “Natural Selection”.

MATERIAL PROOF
The proof that all men are mortal was that everybody apparently dies. The proof of the Kings/Rulers natural superiority was the fact that they were the King/Rulers. It was also an obviously divine fact that the children of these rulers, who were born with their roots already in the ground of their superiority, were absolutely supposed to be the next Rulers.

Thus this illusory system became dominant in the Separated Nations. It created a worldwide one dimensional hierarchy in place of the multidimensional Hierarchy based on equilibrium energy frequencies and Cosmic Principles.  This one dimensional, horizontal hierarchy of power in which the superior individuals or Supermen, were "born" to rule those who where were borne to be ruled is at the core of our present civilizations.

SUPER MEN
Nietzsche was not the first to come up with the idea of the Super Man. Hitler, for example, is a very recent, and not the last, of a long, long line of self proclaimed Supermen. The latest of these egomaniacs is perhaps the Donald! The present oligarchy of the Super Rich is a "natural" even unavoidable result of mind generated one dimensional psychosis

At any rate it was thus that The Great Lie perpetuated itself for hundreds of millenniums. This Lie "…finds its major expression in wrong thinking, false values and the supreme evil of materialistic selfishness and the sense of isolated separativeness...."The Rays and The Initiation P.753  Also, the inbreeding of the ruler/royal class which went on over many, many generations has produced a number of private dynasties and warped individuals who became kings and rulers in one way or another further ingraining the above expressions of the Great Lie in the fabric of any civilization. Witness today the presence on the planet of the 1% or the Super Wealthy. The primary foundations of the nations, governments, cultures that came and went over these millenniums were, and to a very large part still are, based on The "Great Illusion" or, because it was and is deliberately propounded by Retrogressive Forces, "The Great Lie."

NATURAL WAR
What we call war is an unavoidable effect of these foundations. Wars of conquest and dominance have been constant on some level for these many centuries. Most wars were generated by the egomania of various rulers who, often acting on the perceived insults of other rulers, or being in caught in the insane cycle of revenge, felt that conquest of others was what they were supposed to do. Louis XIV, The Sun King of France, who ruled for 72 years and 110 days, the longest of any monarch of a major country in  European history, excelled in this area. Wikipedia

There are numerous contemporary examples of the Great Lie in action. Outstanding are the insanities which various egomaniacs, Saddam Hussein and a cabal of individuals in the U.S. Government among others, generated in the Middle East. The ongoing insanities of the nation of ISIS and its brutal war of conquest indicate that we are still far from understanding and eliminating the Great Lie.

It is important to realize that these historical and current events are primarily the result of Humanity’s lack of the ability to see. We were/are literally blind. In a sense, we died to reality when we had a heart attack that detached us from Truth.

However, the Wheel of Intention did not cease from turning and the Kali Yuga is fading. Another observation from Markandeya's discourse on the Kali Yuga, "At the end of Kali-yuga, when there exist no topics on the subject of God, even at the residences of so-called saints and respectable gentlemen of the three higher varnas and when nothing is known of the techniques of sacrifice, even by word, at that time the Lord will appear as the supreme chastiser."

I think that this is a somewhat fair description of the past couple of thousand years. Could it be that the whole appearance of a 5th dimensional Being on the planet in the last years of BCE or so was a modeling or a foretelling of what is happening now?  As we have been taught in the Bible and as Handel’s Messiah so beautifully proclaims “The trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised."

To many of us this meant our corpses would rise from the grave, sort of like Lazarus, and start walking around. This is an understanding of "The trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised" consistent with a heartless view. It is pretty clear that in the metaphors of the ancients, the "trumpet" of the Lord is the Heart. Its sound is a harmony of the frequencies of common sense, of all of those really abstract words we have for the principle of cosmic physics, beauty, love, brotherhood. The dead in the phrase has reference to the ignoramuses, our one dimensionally frozen-in-form brothers and sisters. Raising them means turning them on. Waking them up to what is coming. They have been dead, out, dark, or to use a more scientifically appropriate term, unconscious. Raising Consciousness, or waking the dead which is the secret of the salvation of Humanity and the Planet, is what our job is.

So, under, within, and through all of this insanity, the Principles of Cosmic Physics upon which Evolution is based continued to function. In spite of Humanity’s deep ignorance, other humans here and there knew, had heart enough, knew enough, served enough, sacrificed enough to hold the Planet together. The meaning, significance, function, power, and beauty of these Principles of Cosmic Physics still vastly beyond our present understanding are the future into which we are evolving.

We have "named" them with deep abstractions like Beauty, Justice, Liberty, Freedom, Right Human Relations, Essential Divinity, Unanimity, and Good Will. These Living Energies interpenetrate every aspect of manifested Life, and can be denied or avoided only for so long before Cosmic Physics restores the natural equilibrium of evolution.

And so, as Master M has said, "From the beginning they struggled and from the beginning we triumphed." In our present work, we join this long, long line of women and men who have constantly and unceasingly, strived to move Humanity and the Planet from the foundations of illusion and ignorance upon which it was built into the future of The Intention. Over the centuries we have appeared in every conceivable aspect of human life. We have forever been the light bringers, the poets, the painters, the musicians, the alchemists, scientists, philosophers, the explorers, and pioneers.

With ongoing frequency, we have been the objects of scorn, and have been and still daily are threatened and or paid by the established powers to lie about what we know to be Truth. We have been hunted and exiled, tried and executed in various ways. Hundreds, mostly what were called witches, including Joan of Arc, were burned at the stake. Still we incarnate and serve.

In the past hundred years or so with a number of notable exceptions like the Kennedy brothers and Dr. King, rather than being murdered, we have faced prison, financial destruction, ostracism, labels of idealists, impractical dreamers. Any effort to bring forth the facts of Reality have always been attacked and ridiculed or denied. (See The New York Times "The Assault on Climate Science" By Michael E. Mann December 8, 2015)

Efforts to improve social programs and educational systems that serve the Common Good have been reduced to accusations of supporting the lazy and shiftless "free loaders." Some 30 or 40 years ago a concentrated effort to dismantle the Liberal Arts aspects of the educational systems was launched by the heartless. Primary targets were the curriculums of music, literature, poetry, art, philosophy, history, political science, economics, archeology, psychology, sociology. Teaching as a profession was and is today denigrated to something that people who cannot do, do.

The Liberal Arts Curriculum was/is the Hearts program. It is a kind of exploration concerning the nature of Reality and revelation leading to a harmonious relationship with life.  Art and true science and philosophy move from the heart through the intellect into form rather than simply from the mind/intellect into form. This latter path has proved over and over again that it is incapable of contacting and/or comprehending the Reality of a multidimensional Cosmos of Pure Reason. Thus we have the present degenerate conditions of all aspects of planetary life.

So, our assignment is one of revelation and reconstruction. The Foundations of Evolution have always existed, always been present. Our work is more a matter or revealing them anew than establishing them.

This work must begin in the heart which is the only path to and from the home of Principle or Divine Intention. Evolution works from the heart through an obedient mind into form. Its primary function is to serve the Common Good, and the General Welfare.  This is a Foundation of the Intention behind the Plan. The revelation of Principles such as these will generate vast and hopefully minimally destructive change.

Things like profit, the idea of ownership, a value system based on wealth and power are all form focused mind generated psychotic illusions. These non-foundational illusions must, and will, go. The dead will be raised. Light, or Common Sense and Love or the recognition of our incredibly beautiful unanimity is happening.... far faster than we think. "One should never limit one's thinking to a single planet." Agni Yoga #314
How little do people reflect upon those fundamentals which are shown to be the foundations of construction, whereas this process is a most essential one. Into the foundation of construction is laid a most substantial and steadfast affirmation. Of all the supports the most fiery one is the magnet of the heart. To exclude it means to leave the structure without a soul, for the magnet of the heart contains all the cosmic saturations. The magnet of the heart is the synthesis of all subtle energies. The magnet of the heart consists of the accumulations of thousands of years; in it is expressed Karma and attraction. Just as it is impossible to replace the sun, so also does the heart remain a powerful creator. Thus on the path to the Fiery World it must be especially remembered that the fiery magnet of the heart is the basis of construction.

Dear Hillary

Saturday, December 12, 2015
Dear Hillary
I know from watching you for all these years that you have a big heart. I saw you perform as a group presence, which is how the heart always presents itself, in many, many ways besides the efforts you and you husband made to gain the human right of medical care for all people. It Takes A Village, was another heart expression. Because of the fact that it was about children, those who do not see form a heart focus missed that it was a deeply wise observation about raising a Democracy or any other growing thing. (These deeper implications of your thesis, however, did and continue to excite the ire, cynicism,  and criticism of the heartless blind.)

In fact it is because you and the President were so heart motivated that you received such vicious and relentless attention for those eight years. My point: The heart focus attracts the attention of the retrogressive forces. Every heart centered person will travel over such a path. Regardless of one’s place or role in life, the would be heart focused will be “tested”. As it was noted, “Blessed are the obstacles by them we grow.” Perhaps you are familiar with Marianne Moore’s “In Distrust Of  Merits” I have appended it to this note, just in case.

I watched over the years as the heart in you got gradually pushed aside and all but buried in the unending onslaught of the heartless retrogressors that masquerade in the midst of the Republican party. When you faced President Obama in the 2008 primaries, it was all but gone. President Obama was a heart force in those confrontations. And in virtually every day of his presidency he has been moving through that fire about which you know so much.

Today, I see flashes of your heart whenever you address a women's group or speak to woman's issues, and it showed up a few times in the your recent New Hampshire talk. When talking to our Sisters, you have every ounce of your considerable experience  and intellectual strength, and you also reveal the fearless power of the heart. When you speak about Women's issues there is a kind of energy and light that flows through the heart into your speech and mannerisms that touches hearts and then minds with real power.

Noticeably missing in such presentations is even the slightest hint or question of comprise on any of the issues. Nor should there be. The heart does not compromise. That is why so many of our Hearts have been murdered over the eons. For you, for the heart, these are not things that would be nice to have; they are inalienable rights, and we will have them.

Usually, however, when you are discussing other issues of equal importance to Human Rights you present this “reasonable” side, this “pragmatic” side that “knows” from intellect and  “experience”. When you say that you work for what will work, you have already compromised. The retrogressors, who insist that it does not in fact take a village but a few self appointed, strong, invariably “males”, to make things work, already have achieved over half of their objective.

Equal pay for equal work is a Human  Right, that all women should be able to vote is a Human right. These things are not negotiable. There is no compromise here. Since we cannot get equal pay for equal work for women we will settle for 70%, is not acceptable. If  all people should have opportunity to earn a living wage is a Human Right, then agreeing to a less than living wage is no more right than having only married women or blue eyed women vote.

Compromise is always the coward’s half hearted, halfway measure. The heart does not deal in halfwayness, not on women’s issues or on anything that violates the basic Laws of Humanity. These are not things that would be nice to have in a perfect world, but too hard to get here. They are the things that make life on this world work. Without them we are heading toward a very sad ending. 

You have this kind of drive in you, I hope that you will embrace it. Humanity needs another President that is willing to give everything.

lots of love

In Distrust Of  Merits
Strengthened to live, strengthened to die for
medals and positioned victories?
They’re fighting, fighting the blind
man who thinks he sees,—
who cannot see that the enslaver is
enslaved; the hater, harmed. O shining O
firm star, O tumultuous
ocean lashed till small things go
as they will, the mountainous
wave makes us who look, know

depth. Lost at sea before they fought! O
star of David, star of Bethlehem,
O black imperial lion
of the Lord-emblem
of a risen world—be joined at last, be
joined. There is hate’s crown beneath which all is
death; there’s love’s without which none
is king; the blessed deeds bless
the halo. As contagion
of sickness makes sickness,

contagion of trust can make trust. They’re
fighting in deserts and caves, one by
one, in battalions and squadrons;
they’re fighting that I
may yet recover from the disease, My
Self; some have it lightly; some will die. ‘Man’s
wolf to man’ and we devour
ourselves. The enemy could not
have made a greater breach in our
defenses. One pilot-

ing a blind man can escape him, but
Job disenheartened by false comfort knew
that nothing can be so defeating
as a blind man who
can see. O alive who are dead, who are
proud not to see, O small dust of the earth
that walks so arrogantly,
trust begets power and faith is
an affectionate thing. We
vow, we make this promise

to the fighting—it’s a promise—’We’ll
never hate black, white, red, yellow, Jew,
Gentile, Untouchable.’ We are
not competent to
make our vows. With set jaw they are fighting,
fighting, fighting,—some we love whom we know,
some we love but know not—that
hearts may feel and not be numb.
It cures me; or I am what
I can’t believe in? Some
in snow, some on crags, some in quicksands,
little by little, much by much, they
are fighting fighting that where
there was death there may
be life. ‘When a man is prey to anger,
he is moved by outside things; when he holds
his ground in patience patience
patience, that is action or
beauty,’ the soldier’s defense
and hardest armor for

the fight. The world’s an orphans’ home. Shall
we never have peace without sorrow?
without pleas of the dying for
help that won’t come? O
quiet form upon the dust, I cannot
look and yet I must. If these great patient
dyings-all these agonies
and wound bearings and bloodshed—
can teach us how to live, these
dyings were not wasted.

Hate-hardened heart, O heart of iron
iron is iron till it is rust.
There never was a war that was
not inward; I must
fight till I have conquered in myself what
causes war, but I would not believe it.
I inwardly did nothing.
O Iscariot-like crime!
Beauty is everlasting
and dust is for a time.

Marianne Moore

Dear Mr. President


Thursday, November 19, 2015
Dear Mr. President,
Thank you, sir, for the forthright, intelligent, constructive, common sense, to say nothing of heartfelt courageous action regarding the Syrian Refugees in the U.S.

As you are probably very much aware this struggle in which we have been locked for centuries between the heart and chaos. It does not take a great mind to look at the results of the intermixing of the races and cultures that have occurred over the years, especially in these United States to see that this is the way to realization of the fact of the One Humanity.

With the usual exceptions for the ignorant and selfish--which It t seems are ever with us and rather a much bigger problem than the poor who would not be among us if it were not for the greed and power driven group of the Ignorant--we have created a United and beautiful Nation. We  have lots of clean up to do, and we are, even when it is hard for the form focused to see, proceeding very well.

This singular action of yours is a mighty blow to the forces of retrogression. Know that you have the power of, well of evolution behind you. That’s a pretty big deal.

Lots of love

Dear Hilliary

Saturday, November 7, 2015
Dear Hilleary:
Watching you last night in your conversation with Rachel was to say the least refreshing. As I have said, I think that you would make a great president and that you could be elected. After your presence last night I am fairly sure that  you will be the next President. Your commentary on the death penalty was a big step forward on the Path toward clarity on this issue. I feel that you will proceed in that direction.

I wanted to let you know that I will be voting for you in the California Primary.

During the period leading up to the Convention I think that it is very important that the discussions and addresses from you and the other two persons strive to be focused on the ideas and paths that underlie our Democracy and the attacks and destruction upon them that has been unleashed by retrogressive forces and power over the past 35 years.

I think it is very important that we recognize that each of you is a very valuable part of the healing that we are bringing to the Nation. We need all of the hearts we have, and I am sure that both Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley would be very valuable partners as we break out of the cages in which the retrogressive forces of exclusivity and privilege have had  us imprisoned.

As it was pointed out long, long ago, “From the beginning they struggled. From the beginning we triumphed.”
Lots of love

Dear Hillary

Thursday, October 29, 2015
Dear Hilary:
I can’t imagine  that  you are not aware of the overwhelming evidence that the death penalty is not in any way a deterrent to murder or any other crime. Your being in favor of the death penalty puts you out of sync with 61% or more of your fellow citizens, (a majority of that 61% is more than likely women) who would choose a punishment other than the death penalty for murder. 2010 poll by Lake Research Partners

However, my concern here is not with the data concerning the death penalty. It is about the feminine principle, the heart, compassion, and love. I do not want to belabor the obvious ancient, (eye for an eye) barbaric cruelty of the death penalty, but surely you can see that a State Execution is simply the  murder of a helpless individual. Such executions are more a matter of revenge, of “payback” than anything that approaches Justice.  Execution or calling it what it is, murder, is certainly not choice the heart would make, or a practice that the Feminine Principle would consider.

This position highlights your major problem with a very large sector of the voting population, including me. You consistently prove to us that you are a match for any man. As I pointed out earlier, we do not need a strong male president. We need a woman with a heart.

Your deep connections with the traditional male engendered and dominate power structures of the nation which utterly lack any kind of heart energy or understanding of the feminine Principle are truly a problem for you. This is clear to anyone who is thinking with the heart, and more and more of the people are doing so.

I think you can win a national election. And you do possess all of the skills the nation needs to navigate our way through the present maelstrom of retrogression. It will be sad indeed if those skills are not directed by an open heart.

I must say that I will not be voting for you in the California primary unless I see a demonstration of such a heart, and  you can begin by being in favor of Life rather than murder.

Lots of love and hope

Dear Hillary

Wednesday, October 14, 2015
Dear Hillary,
Last evening, I was very encouraged by the presence and adult discussion of the Democratic candidates for President. Your presence and cool poise, and that pragmatic commonsense streak which is your default position was very much in evidence.  I was, however, particularly interested in your reaction to Bernie’s heart generated comments regarding your “damn emails.”

Your reaction was a spontaneous heart driven response. That’s how the heart functions. It knows. It knows without any data or intellectual inputs.

You actually revealed your heart. It has been rather hidden. I suspect that that was a price you had to pay to operate in the kinds of environments where Tough, Hardnosed and what were frequently mistaken for “pragmatic decisions” dominated and where the heart, if it dared to show itself,  was seen in the archaic male generated dogma that was used eons ago to get Woman out of the way as weak and soft and not able to make tough decisions. Your heart did not choose to vote for the war.

If, as you claim, you really want to do a service for Woman, bring your heart on-line. It was Bernie’s heart driven reaction to injustice, bullying, and yes abuse of a woman (Can you imagine these ignoramuses, going after a man’s emails like that?) that spoke for you in those moments.

Well Hillary, as you know from much, much experience, the heart understands things on levels that the mind cannot even imagine. The skills that you have gained from your training will only reach their real potential when you bring your heart back on-line because the heart can see the path which lies between.

Men also beat the heart in men into some kind of quiescence. We, many of us, have experienced ignoring our natural heart understandings of situations and listened to our minds only to see the our hardnosed pragmatic” decisions disintegrate and lead to the same problems, sometimes in the very same forms.

 I suspect that you will win the nomination and election Hillary, but the Nation, the Planet needs a new Way. Cool poise, and sharp intellects, cannot really see the pragmatic way. These skills are invariably effected by personal agendas on various levels, and pragmatic means what will work for this or that most powerful special interest.

For the heart, pragmatic means what will best serve the Common Good and the General Welfare. It takes a kind of feminine sensitivity to not only understand this but to have the courage to put it into action. You can do this.
Lots of love

Dear Hillary

Tuesday, September 08, 2015
Dear Hillary,

Everyone gets that you're as strong as any man.

However, a strong man type is not what we need and/or want. We need and want a Woman who is as strong as any woman which means a woman who is able to register, contain and implement the Feminine Principle. The Feminine Principle is the energy that drives evolutionary creation.

Just as the Feminine Principle has been totally misconstrued, maligned and hidden by those ignoramuses who do not get that we live in a harmonious multidimensional Cosmos, so has the Masculine Principle been misconstrued, maligned, and hidden.  These two always and only co-exist. One is useless without the other or, even worse, destructively ignorant.
Just as the everywhere and always occurring Principle we call Feminine has nothing to do with one's sex, the everywhere and always present energy we call masculine has nothing to do with sex. Any balanced human being can vision, initiate and creatively implement an Idea.

The problems arise when a self-centered individual, man or woman, bent on creating for his or her separate or personal desires, acts. The actions of a balanced individual, regardless of the physical sex, generally serve the Common Good because the balanced person sees situations whole and not just from a single perspective. All of those great persons of human history who moved Humanity forward, that is toward the goal of the "Self Evident Truths", balanced the feminine and masculine Principles.

The energy which actuated those heroes and enables a human being to balance these two energies is Love. And love moves through the heart, not the mind.  Love is the carrier wave for Good Intentions, and Good Intentions pave the road, not toward hell as the ignoramuses would have you believe, but toward the Self Evident Truths.

We need "a radical feminist agenda" to put the power of evolution behind our efforts to remember our dismembered world. President Lincoln pointed out that "A house divided against itself cannot stand." We are One, and the only way forward for us is to bring this fact into the common mind. We need "a radical feminist agenda" which flows from the heart, not for women but for humanity.

I do think that if you will embrace the heart you can lead all of us but especially our women of whom there are still millions who are unenfranchised, not because they are not permitted to vote, but because they are lost or held in bondage by the misconstrued, maligned myths of "women's" place. I think also that if you reach out with the power of the heart to women specifically, you will as well ignite that smoldering flame that lies in the core of the heart of most men because it is the flame of the Feminine Principle.

lots of love

THE DONALD

The Donald

I have tried, but I just could not, not  say something about The Donald.

He is, after all, ICONIC.

When have we had such an upfront, honest,  and in language anyone could understand, statement of the heartless agenda (I would say soulless too, but every human has a soul buried somewhere) of the group of imposters who think they are qualified to run the world.

Please note. I did not say, “govern”. If one is governing, then one is  working cooperatively with an instrument created by, and for the welfare of the Common Good.

The group of whom Donald is Iconic, do not govern. In fact, they abhor Government as a waste of time and a maker of stupid non-profitable programs. Governments do not know how to rule, or run a business. The Donald’s of the world excel in this. And in their view by Right, they should be in charge.

The Donald, of course,  epitomizes all of the qualities of a Ruler. He is so certain that he is wonderful that he is fearless. His skills have been honed on thousands of “deals” wherein he has successfully made a killing, or to use the gentile term, a profit. That means  that  he has successfully conned others of the Ruling group who were desperately trying to con him. Thus,  The Donald is battle hardened and deeply experienced. Two crucial qualities for Rulership.

The Donald’s vision for Humanity, other than it includes him at the top, is vague. This is  perfect for Ruling class policy because then no one knows what’s going on. And this is fine because The Donald knows what is good for everyone, and too many “advisors”, or other sycophants,  just make simple things complex, sort of like government.

He has numerous castles, or what  passes for castles these days, and has already amassed tons of money, so additional tons will not attract that much attention except from the non-iconic others who will just be jealous.

So, forget government. The Donalds do not get elected. They either inherit their Right to Rule as of old, or in the new paradigm of Business,  they “manage” their way to the top and amass wealth. They do whatever it takes, lie, steal, cheat, manipulate, con, and truth be told, make deals with certain nefarious beings who carry their souls around in little purses. This pretty much describes the current charades called Campaigns being run by us on an hourly basis.

Well,  we need to  find a mountain somewhere, probably in one of the Carolinas, or Mississippi would be good, but I don't think that they have mountains. Anyway we need a mountain on which to carve a likeness of The Donald.


BTW,  what makes those guys on Mount Rushmore  so special? All they did was Govern the United States of America. The Donald will Sell Us. We will make a profit!

The Loooong Train Ride

 August 27, 2015
The Looooong Train Ride
Somewhere, way, way back there, when we first got on this train and  started to think of ourselves as separate beings rather than just members of some herd or tribe, we became convinced that we were our physical bodies and that like everyone else, we would die. The notion was that “all men are mortal, I am a man, therefore I will die too.”

Since nothing else seemed to make much sense, staying alive, i.e. maintaining our dense physical forms, or at least avoiding death as long as possible became the goal. Also, given the aggressive actions of other creatures, both the  two and four legged, types, who were also trying to avoid death, as well as the inexplicable events of nature, like hurricanes, floods, snow storms, droughts and earthquakes, it was very easy to assume that, somebody had it in for us anyway, and so we should make hay while the sun shined, get whatever we could that made us happy or at least less miserable regardless of what it did or might do to others, and last as long as we could.

So, we moved from the darkness of just not knowing what was going on to this completely inside out sense of reality, or from just being in the dark to being in pitch blackness.

This scenario of our rather ragged evolution reveals the motivation for a great deal of the amazing things that we, that is Humanity in mass, have chosen to do over the past thousands of years: Endlessly murdering millions of each other in a form of insanity called war over who owns what piece of the planet, who is the biggest King, or whose god is the real one, or whose race is superior; creating huge imbalances in planetary resources which  simultaneously generate debilitating luxury and its own kind of madness, and grinding poverty, starvation, and exposure, all of which lead to massive epidemics of various diseases which deform and kill additional millions. The list could go on.

Engaging in these actions over and over again, whether as nations on a macro world level or as individuals in a micro human relations level, are the unavoidable karmic consequences, the fruits of assuming that one is in the Light when one is actually in the dark. Basically, a great many of  our brothers and sisters, including ourselves from time to time, are still suffering from an ancient psychic condition. Presently this condition is known as insanity. It is a condition of mistaking illusion for reality which patterns out in an endless repetitive stream of failed systems. Being presented at every turn with the opportunity to chose the path that actually leads to the Real and Immortality, we chose to follow the path of material desire, the struggle for power and comfort, which, we should know from endless experience, is a dead end and only leads us deeper into identification with form and death. This is not sanity.

I know that this is drum that has beaten for centuries and centuries by lots heavier drummers than me. However, as Master M. pointed out,The simplest truth needs repetition; otherwise it will be lost under a pile of trash.”

And we all know how much effort has been put into burying this simple Truth.

From the beginning, the Wisdom, that is the scientific nature of Reality, was made available through various ones who were sent among us. They carried the wisdom. They knew the Way of the path and through teaching and modeling with their lives, they endeavored to help us move into the Real. However, actually moving into the Real was a free choice of ours.

Although this has been very hard work with frequently gruesome endings for both our Teachers and those of us who attempted to implement Reality into human systems, striving has “paid off”, as we have been told over and over it would.  Our past is strewn with the stories of those heroes who dared to move forward.

Progress was very slow. But there was progress. And as the centuries rolled along, more and more re-incarnating souls had strived to the point where they were able to discriminate between the light and the dark, or to be clinically accurate between insanity and sanity.

We all agree, all of  the sane among us, that we are moving into a New Beginning.  (The insane do not disagree, they are simply  oblivious.) The thing about “New Beginnings” is that they always, or almost always, involve rather messy Old Endings.

What we have been doing for the past couple of hundred years is sort of cleaning our collective garage, getting rid of a lot of excess baggage the stuff that is generating the imbalances in our lives, both macro and micro. A major part of the excess baggage is a lot of overdue usually painful Karmic Debt. On the macro side, we have war, famine, epidemics, on the micro side,  those sudden accidents, exposures, revelations of things we would rather keep hidden. Oh you know what I am talking about here…lying, irritation, impatience, criticism, etcetera.

The Good Book, one of numerous, has indicated that towards the “End”—End is the  space when the “beginning” starts to noticeably move in and be seen in the very midst of the fading or moving out old stuff— anyway, in the “End”,  a lot of stuff is going to be revealed.  “Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops.” Well if there ever was a “SIGN” of the trending new beginning, the present display of chaos being demonstrated globally 24/7 including those who are “running” for office in the upcoming elections is unmistakable.

In the past when I heard or thought about the remark from the Good Book, I always visioned a huge Light being shined into those dark spaces and the private rooms. We would all get to see the “Them” who were doing the whispering in the dark and planning new greedy ways to enslave Us.

Imagine my amazement when the ones doing the revealing are actually those who are plotting the next round of insanity. I always thought that  the proclaiming  of one’s undoubted, absolute superiority and right to rule was a common psychological aspect of the behavior of the insane. However the skill with which these Drivers had been previously concealed, the manipulation of fear and hatred that was used to camouflage the agenda, what happened to that?

So, the insight:, The Path of retrogression leads ever and ever deeper into the Darkness. Eventually one reaches a place where one is so enmeshed  in the illusion of one’s own fabulousness, one’s own godlikeness that one drowns. One becomes, not just irrational, but anti-rational; completely  unable to separate illusion from Reality, or insane.

Not so surprising when we think about it. There are many, many examples, both macro and micro of this fate in our history. One thinks of Nero, and Hitler and of how the leaders of the South simply could not see the illusion of Slavery.

Illusion is of course a disease, a particularly insidious disease. It attacks the mind and then the brain, sort of corrodes the internal wiring and linkages is how I think of it. And being extremely contagious, it is easily transmitted to other minds and brains. Over the past 50 years or so, since the assassination of JFK, the insanity seems to have reached epidemic stages.

The growing numbers of random killings by police, the mass shootings in elementary schools, churches, movie houses, markets military bases by any number of deranged individuals, people blowing up themselves and who ever happens to be standing around, someone committing suicide every 13 minutes, these are the really easy to see effects of this epidemic. Not so obvious but directly related to the illusion insanity are the revelatory verbal and videoed explosions  of “things said in the dark and whispered in private rooms” which are being made day after day on national and international media outlets by politicians and would be leaders of the World.

Another SIGN, perhaps a somewhat less crazy one, is the explosive revelatory phenomena called Hacking. Secrecy about anything, it would seem, is a rapidly disappearing condition. The motivation of many hackers is purely selfish and harmful; however, many “things said in the dark and whispered in private rooms” are being revealed. Another grouping of revealers are the Whistleblowers. Most of the people, like Wikileaks and Snowden behind this kind of revelation of “things said in the dark and whispered in private rooms” seem to have the Common Good at  heart.

Those who are somewhat aware of cycles and the process of evolution see all of these events as evidence of the End. However we know that Ends do not just happen. Ends are caused by the birthing of the New. As the New Age moves in it literally drives out the old forms and illusions.

The New Age must have New Foundations. These Foundations are being established on scientifically demonstrated facts.  We are establishing New Foundations based in the understanding of  an inclusive, interdependent and unified conception of Life, of the essential divinity and unanimity of all life and the transforming power of Good Will.

Sanity dictates that these concepts are the eternal aspects of the multidimensional cosmos in which our tiny planet is spinning. They are as our Constitution said some 200+ years ago, Self Evident Truths. Today, we have the Science to demonstrate that these foundations are in fact Self Evident. They exist throughout Cosmos. Ask any non-materialistically fossilized physicist.

Every day, there are millions of individuals and groups involved in such efforts. They are active in every category of human interaction. These efforts are generating Light. The inclusive, heart engendered will that drives the efforts of groups and individuals  to encompass and contain the Light within their consciousnesses and then to radiate it out through the power of Good Will is lighting up the world.

However, as we are in the depths of seeing, these old forms will not go quietly. The Light that millions of human beings are radiating as they establish these New Foundations is calling out the enormous resistance of the old ways. It is this that is generating the cruelty, and insanity, the huge migrations of people looking for safety and shelter for Sanity. It will end too, end with the end of the old concepts of power, cast and privilege.

This long trip is ending,  friends.  And this time right now is crucial. We need to focus through the indomitable heart, “keep our hand upon the throttle, and our eye upon the rail.” Or the Path, if you like. There is a station just ahead, where we will be boarding the Transfiguration express.

 All Aboard!

Dear Hillary

Saturday, August 22, 2015
Dear Hillary

Watched the video of your conversation with the young man from Black Life Matters. (NYT, “Hillary, Pressed On Race, Issues Her Own Challenge” 8/19/15)  Then I read many of the comments in the comment section.

The comments from the Times readers around your statement that you “did not believe in changing hearts” were illuminating, actually shocking. It was shocking in the revelation of how many people do not understand the role of the heart in Life. The Ideas of love and heart, caring and compassion have all suffered a fate similar to the one which was dealt to Woman. These concepts have been made to be seen as weak and mushy, emotional things, nice for romance and idealism, but not needed for making hard decisions that deal with real man practical life.

How ignorant that assumption is. It is this kind of ignorance that fosters the heartless intellectualism that has always infected our national life and held us back. And, for the past 35 years It has been the primary driver of the most destructive and retrogressive aspects of both our the national and international life.

The huge shift toward the present Oligarchic situation which was being subtly engineered by the retrogressive forces since the end of WW2  became quite obvious with the blatant public murders of 3 of the Great Hearts who graced our Nation and gave it and its, rapidly disappearing, place of honor in the world. Since the Civil Rights Bill and the War on Poverty (both laws which were rigorous intellectual products of the Heart) and the election of Ronald Reagan, the heart has been progressively shut down, cut out of decisions for new laws, and replaced by intellectual sophistry. Ronald Reagan went to war on the poor! Turning a heart designed program to aid the poor into a dirty word, he generated hatred and fear against those among us who had the least

This heartless attack on the social fabric of what really was a New Deal has continued on micro and macro levels ever since. The smoldering ruins of the middle class, our educational systems, the social systems to aid the needy, and the rapid growth of a bloated and arrogant super wealthy would be ruling class,  are two effects of heartlessness. Perhaps the most gross example of heartless foreign policy was the Iraq War planned and executed by a band of heartless intellectuals, many of whom are still in positions of policy making power.

The whole idea of “changing” hearts misunderstands what the heart is. Hearts never need changing. They only need to igniting. The heart could never make the kinds of policies that enslave, demean, pollute discourage.

The hearts of those who have generated these kinds of governing policies were simply four chambered blood pumps. These individuals exist, but they are really the walking dead, for they lack the blood of Life, the energy we call love.

Love is not a sentimental or romantic thing at all. The heart, or love, because the heart is the entry way for the energy we call Love into our systems, understands. It knows. The heart is eminently practical in that it always and only serves the Common Good which generates equilibrium in the social fabric.

Practical solutions to the imbalances and inequalities which are causing so much pain and suffering in our present lives will not come through the same old heartless intellectualism that generated them.

Just as it is not only O.K. but absolutely necessary to proclaim that you are a woman, it is O.K. to say, to proclaim that the heart, that love, compassion and empathy drive your sense of what practical policy is and that this is the kind of policy you will foster and work for as the president. No one except the ignoramuses, will think you're weak. They will see your humanity and beauty. And it will make them feel good. Love does that.

 And , BTW, your example may just ignite the hearts of millions and millions of other women, maybe even a few men.
lots of love
