Shout
the Truth
We are facing a very
serious few months. There has been a serious dense physical ongoing confrontation in the United States between freedom
and slavery, between democracy and fascism for a few years. It is approaching a
denouement. This confrontation is different than the one the members of our
armed forces faced as they charged out of the landing barges on to the beaches
of Normandy. Thousands did not make the first ridge of protection, but no one
stopped and after some months Democracy utterly defeated the Nazis and fascists.
Courage was the
driver of that triumph, courage on many levels of interaction, from the
scientists who broke through the barriers of physics mystery and unfolded the
atom bomb, courage that drove sisters and brothers, mothers and fathers the
children to preserver and do what was needed when it was needed without a
second thought.
Humanity’s history
is history of such confrontations. We have always had to struggle against these
forces to evolve our inner convictions of freedom and liberty for all. We have
always had over the centuries individuals and groups who through their own
courage, encouraged millions to resist and demand freedom and liberty for all.
In times of deep strife throughout our history and in every country and race
this struggle has been going on. It manifests on every size from small family
sized battlegrounds to towns, nations and the globe.
And with inner
courage which is the gift of wisdom and the signature of Love we have always eventually
triumphed.
The present
challenge is, as anyone who is looking can see, global. In the United States,
because over the past 240 years we have already paid a horrendous price with
the death and suffering of millions of our immediate sisters and brothers to
establish a democracy, it does not as yet involve bombs and bullets.
And that
is the crux of the matter.
To keep it out of
bombs and bullets, we the People, all of us at every age, need to stand up and
open. We need to speak, and act truth to power. This is the only force that
can manifest and maintain government of for and by the People.
This requires
courage. At the moment, many of our brothers and sisters are involved in the
daily working of the government in Washington D.C. So far a few have acted in
truth to power and revealed some of the recent attacks against Democracy that
have been are being perpetrated by the forces of fascism which have captured
the executive aspect of our Democracy.
Let us encourage
those who are working and involved there and who have witnessed the undermining
of our Democracy to act with courage. "True, it is possible to admit the sword of indignation of the spirit, but only in rare cases, for indignation of the spirit wears away the sheath" New Era Community #45
In a Democracy,
revealing the evil that is trying to undermine it is not whistle blowing; it is
acting with love and courage for the Common Good and the General Welfare. It is making the ugly beautiful.
Let an army of truth
revelers come forward in all departments. The fear and hate mongers will try
to devour you, but they cannot stomach courage for long.
Fear not. Those who
oppose us are already terrified and full of hate. Hate and fear drive
cowardice. They will evaporate along with their ignorant bootlickers. I can see
them; casting horrified looks over their shoulders. They are already in the airports booking
tickets out of this Nation.
