Pandora’s Box

While not the only source of the present demented vision through which women are seen and valued by far too many individuals, including, it is sad to say, many women themselves, the myth of Pandora’s Box is typical of the “jacket” that has been constructed and put on women and the Feminine Principle over many eons. Many of these ancient myths, including the myth of  Prometheus are more than likely remnants of the Ancient Teachings. However, they have, in my estimation, been twisted and manipulated by the long present Retrogressors to serve their deeply evil ends.

“Certain units of humanity—then existent—[the end of the first Solar system] were so completely conditioned by these material principles and so deliberately unready for moving on to the comprehension of another set of principles (more expressive of the divine nature) that they remained of "fixed and selfish material purpose" and a planned distortion of the divine will was intelligently created by them.  …  Forget not that the black magicians of today were the initiates of a previous solar system.” The Rays and Initiations  p. 350

It continues to amaze me that the interpretations of so many of the ancient myths, including Genesis, spin around the core thoughtform of a God who is an angry psychotic, a hate filled Alpha Male of untold age who expected unquestioning and immediate acquiescence to his slightest whim, no matter how absurd it was. OR ELSE!!!

Oh God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”

Abe says, “Man, you must be puttin’ me on”

God say, “No.” Abe say, “What?”

God say, “You can do what you want Abe, but

The next time you see me comin’ you better run”

 Bob Dylan Highway 61 Revisited

Can you imagine a God who would demand one of his people to kill one of  his sons to prove that he was loyal or that he loved God? This thoughtform of God persists and is even more wide spread today than the occasional mentions from ancient times. It is not a coincidence, for example, that a primary method of forcing children to serve as soldiers in wars in many nations, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Uganda, Sudan, just to  name a few, is to have the child kill his father to show allegiance and loyalty to the recruiting powers.

It is also not a coincidence that this insane male personage would choose women, in this case the arch type of Pandora, to be the carriers of his demented punishments such as disease, plague, starvation. As I see it, many of the interpretations of the myths and tales of our ancient past were deliberately “planted” and ceaselessly nurtured over thousands of Ages in the human psyche as a part of “a planned distortion of the divine will”. Once planted, there were many infant humans who accepted these distortions as truth and ignorantly applied them to, well, just about everything.

The effort of the original planters was to destroy the fundamental principles of Cosmic Truth which are basic building blocks of this or, I suppose, any other planet. Their intention was and is to maintain absolute domination of this planet as their personal property.

Hence, we have the “Myth” of Pandora’s Box. The use of the word “box” instead of womb is probably due to some later fastidious allusion to the womb. Yet in today’s culture it only serves to denigrate women that much more.

Nothing in years has so highlighted the existence of this controlling core thoughtform of an angry psychotic, hate filled Alpha Male God who expects unquestioning and immediate acquiescence to his slightest whim, no matter how absurd, than the bill signed into law just the other day by the Governor of Virginia. This bill requires women who want to have an abortion to have an ultrasound and be offered a picture of the ultrasound by the doctor. This piece of sophistry, by the way, is a watered down version of the bill which originally required the woman to submit to what is nothing less than an officially sanctioned rape by a mechanical device called a vaginal probe.

I won’t go into the absurdity of the contraception issue. The inability of an individual of any sex to see the gross stupidity of this issue is a sure indicator of a member of the walking dead.

Today there are 450 bills concerning birth control and abortion on the floors of mostly white male dominated legislatures across this country. If this wasn’t so outrageous, it would be just ridiculous. However, it is real. We cannot make this stuff go away by ignoring it. It is because we have ignored it for so long that it is here now. People are fond of saying, “Live in the Now!” Well, this is the Now which we allowed to happen while we were asleep in our cemeteries of comfort.

For our sisters our children, our daughters and wives who are having to live with it, it is happening now in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. There is only one way to finally kill this ancient thoughtform of a psychotic male god, to end the denigration of the Feminine Principle and restore the balance to our beautiful Planet. That way is to follow the path of justice and honor, to stand up, become responsible, to speak our Truth through our voice, in a word, to vote our hearts.

Truly, friends, we have nothing else to do.

The New Golems

The New Golems

The Ancient Legends and Teachings tell of great wars that covered the planet in the last days of the Atlantean Cycle.

Today the battle continues to rage. We understand now that the battle had been going on from the beginning, long, long before Atlantis, and on dimensions much more subtle than the dense physical. Today, the opposing forces and the stakes are the same as they were at the get go or the beginning. The Forces of Light are facing the Forces of Darkness in the long struggle to secure and bring into manifestation the Divine Plan and human freedom which lies at its core.

These have always been the parameters of the struggle. In ancient times armies and navies and, according to some lore, some form of air born forces killed each other by untold millions over what kind or emperor would rule over the world or at least the particular part of the planet under dispute.  Also in those ancient battles, according to Legend and Lore, the Retrogressors created and employed millions of soulless creatures in the shape of human beings in their armies.

Later in the Lore these soulless beings came to be known as golems. Descriptions and opinions regarding the materials used in the manufacture of these creatures and how they were actuated or made living differ widely. Basically, a creature resembling a human being in shape would be manufactured in some manner. The model would be actuated or brought to life through the casting of “magic” spells: hanging a spell around the creature’s neck or pasting it on its forehead or shoving a piece of paper containing a written spell or formula into the creature’s mouth.

As in all things technical, the technology of golem manufacturing has improved greatly over the eons. The old methods of actuating these creatures through the casting the magic spells have been greatly advanced  as well.  We will probably never be terrified again by giant mud men stalking around killing people. Very low tech.

Although the human form is still widely used in golem manufacture, we have a whole new range of such creatures. Through our growing understanding of the science of physics, the magic spell thing has been upgraded to highly sophisticated algorithms which allow the golem of whatever shape to be autonomously controlled or controlled by a remote individual. The “life energy” or electricity, for these golems is supplied through power cells of one kind or another. As in the ancient days, golems can be killed by removing the magic spell, or in today’s upgraded models, simply by unplugging its power supply.

We have all seen many of these creatures in movies. Who can forget the golem, wearing a skin cover that looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger, who stalks Sarah Connor, or the army of golems or Clones to use their modern name in The Attack of the Clones.  A more current example of a non-human form of a golem much in the news today is what we are calling drones. These are flying golems. They are used daily to deliver bombs of one sort or another to destroy or kill any number of so called “high value” targets.

It doesn’t take much imagination to see where this golem technology is heading. The most far out scenarios of our great science fiction writers are becoming more and more possible. The computer games that we play are only a few removes from being actuated on the dense physical.

This does not bode well for us.

There was, however, an even more sinister development in golem technology about which we are just now becoming aware. This golem was constructed and empowered almost 200 years ago. Like all golems, it has grown into a huge monster that is destroying major portions of human freedom.

This golem is known as a Corporation. Although It has no actual dense physical body that can be seen and weighed, it was actuated or brought to life by “magic spell”—in this case an act of the United States Supreme Court. These soulless, corporation golems are considered by the magic spell of Law, to be artificial persons. They are individuals with all the rights of any one of us. Unlike us whose lives or existence on the dense physical depends on having an insouled dense from we call a body, these corporation golems exist on the dense physical without bodies and they are immortal.

This soulless person or golem was the conscious creation of the Retrogressors. Its single purpose and function is to impound and divert the energy flows of the planet into the control of a selected few, and to thus destroy the government of the people for the people and by the people.

Fortunately, like all golems, this one can and must be rendered harmless by unplugging it. In this case this will require government of the people by the people and for the people to generate through our governments some form of legislation that will undo what was done by Supreme Court in 1819, and to re-purpose these corporations to serve the Common Good and the General Welfare rather that the exclusive few who “own” them.

So, what else do we have to do?

Waking The Dead

From Independence to Resurrection

To JS/07 M 378

This Marble Monument

Is Erected by the State)

He was found by the Bureau of Statistics to be

One against whom there was no official complaint,

And all the reports on his conduct agree

That, in the modern sense of an old-fashioned word, he was a

   saint,

For in everything he did he served the Greater Community.

Except for the War till the day he retired

He worked in a factory and never got fired,

But satisfied his employers, Fudge Motors Inc.

Yet he wasn't a scab or odd in his views,

For his Union reports that he paid his dues,

(Our report on his Union shows it was sound)

And our Social Psychology workers found

That he was popular with his mates and liked a drink.

The Press are convinced that he bought a paper every day

And that his reactions to advertisements were normal in every way.

Policies taken out in his name prove that he was fully insured,

And his Health-card shows he was once in hospital but left it cured.

Both Producers Research and High-Grade Living declare

He was fully sensible to the advantages of the Installment Plan

And had everything necessary to the Modern Man,

A phonograph, a radio, a car and a frigidaire.

Our researchers into Public Opinion are content 

That he held the proper opinions for the time of year;

When there was peace, he was for peace:  when there was war, he went.

He was married and added five children to the population,

Which our Eugenist says was the right number for a parent of his

   generation.

And our teachers report that he never interfered with their

   education.

Was he free? Was he happy? The question is absurd:

Had anything been wrong, we should certainly have heard.

W.H. Auden

Identifying the dead or hopefully the only sleeping, is, of course, a necessary aspect of resurrection. Can’t raise the living. They are already raised or awake so to speak. So, if comfort, as the Master said, is the cemetery of the spirit, then we know where to find the sleeping, the dying and already dead. They live next door to the Unknown Citizen in The Waste Land about which T.S. Eliot talked so eloquently in his great, celebrated, but neither heard nor understood, and praised, but not practiced, poem by that name.

Since the titanic struggle for Independence was waged in 1775-76—titanic because of the Principles involved rather than the number of dollars spent or people killed—we have become the “most powerful” Nation in the world. That struggle involved virtually every one of the approximately 2,400,000 people in the Thirteen Colonies who was big enough to participate at some level in the Struggle. Gradually, over the intervening two and a quarter centuries or so, many, many millions of “We, the People” have become disengaged from the vision and vitality that drove our struggle for independence.

Among the estimated 212 million eligible voters in 2008, 81 million did not vote. Of the 131 million that did vote, 52 % voted for the present President. 45% voted for the losing person. This is Democracy.

Probably a large number of these eligible non-voters are members of the lower rungs of the economic scale. These folks do not participate because they have been disenfranchised by their poverty. They feel futile and useless. In resurrecting these brothers and sisters, we need to reignite that spark of fire that drove us in the beginning to fight and die for our freedom from the then most powerful nation in the world, Great Brittan.

However a huge number of these sleeping or relatively dead whom we must resurrect, are not the poverty stricken or “dirt poor”. They inhabitant the so called, rapidly dwindling, “middle class.” These folks are in the “middle class” because, on the scale of material accretions, or shell like bodies that turn humans into lobsters, they stand between the poverty stricken and the wealthy. Many of the wealthy are beyond resurrection because they are already lobsterized or simply beyond resurrection or, more bluntly, soul dead.

These folks in the middle are the sleep walkers the dying, the almost dead. These are the “Hollow Men”, the somnambulistic “head pieces filled with straw” about whom T.S. Eliot was talking.

“Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!

Our dried voices, when

We whisper together

Are quiet and meaningless

As wind in dry grass.

Middle class, in my life time, has always been an euphemism that meant not really acceptable but not quite noxious. Like W.H. Auden’s Unknown Citizen, the family had a house, or at least a mortgage they could pay, a car sometime even two cars. The kids had shoes and relatively stylish clothes to wear. Christmas, a time of incredible disappointment and emotional stress, was still a time of presents even if they were disappointing. We went on vacations around the country. Maybe the mother worked which meant that we could “upscale” a bit, move, maybe a couple of blocks closer to the beach, or to a slightly less obnoxious neighborhood.

It also meant that little attention was paid to anything that did not have to do with sustaining and working to “upgrade” this “life style”.

There were no mental patients walking the streets. In those days. If by chance one had the uncomfortable experience of seeing a mental patient or a homeless person—which was the operative euphemism before there were literally tens of thousands of certifiably sane homeless people who were, able and employable human beings living in the cars they had somehow managed to keep out of the hands of the repo men or just walking the streets and pushing their grocery carts full of black plastic bags and random collectibles that may be useful on a cold night—the only attention they got was a phone call to the police, and, sort of, like a disfiguring weed in the dichondra, the comfort offending person was pulled up, or sprayed with something so he or she would go away.

Little attention, if any, was paid to foreign anything. It took 50,000 dead and several murdered and wounded children at Kent State to get the attention of enough of us long enough to stop the Viet Nam war. The primary reason the current boondoggle war—Iraq and Afghanistan are two phases of one war—, is entering its ninth or tenth year is that there is no draft. The children, who were killed wounded and/or mentally destroyed in Iraq, and are still being killed wounded and/or mentally destroyed in Afghanistan are usually not members of the Middle Class. Thus, they do not disturb our comfort.

Nothing makes this so clear as the almost total absence of “welcome home” parades or celebrations for the returned Iraq veterans.

So, what’s the wakeup call going to be this time?

In the present economic landscape, it is said that the income of the middle class has stagnated and is falling. It was bound to be that way. A cooperative driven system of any kind produces an evolution toward the greater Good of the whole system. A competitive based and driven system produces a devolution toward the ultimate failure of the whole system.

In a 2004 report, the top 1% of our population controlled 50.3% of the total financial assets of the U.S. (It is necessary for us to start realizing that “financial assets” and other such terms are euphemisms for the Life Force or Blood of the system.) The bottom 90% only held 14.4% of the total US financial assets. It was estimated that the bottom 20% of this 90% had 0, that is Zero, wealth or Life Force or Blood.

This situation in the past five years has accelerated to the point where some estimates place 70 to 80% of the worlds wealth in the hands of the top 1%. The other 99% shares, very inequitably I might add, the paltry rest. The “dirt poor” or Lifeless have increased correspondingly.

We all know about unemployment. Many millions of us have intimate experience with it and with the destruction of any shred of the “American Dream” into which we may have worked ourselves over the years. And for the “lucky” ones, those still employed, or those whose “retirement funds” have so far evaded the Greedy Clutches of vulture corporations such as Bain Capital—or Bane, as it should be spelled type—the concept of “upward mobility” which was the backbone of the Dream has suffered several fractured vertebrae. It was recently observed by Arianna Huffington that we were behind the French in upward mobility which she compared to the French being behind us in croissants and afternoon sex.

Well, it looks like this situation is finally getting some recognition at least from the millions who have been demoted from the comforting life style of middle classiness and the additional millions who daily hear the threat of their own impending devaluation. The descent into the lower class reality is not anything that these people have ever expected or been prepared for. It is an absolute mind blower. It consists of realities that have been totally off the screens of the comfort zones with which they have become accustomed: unemployment, after the 99weeks of unemployment, zero income, eliminating their own, let alone their kids, cell phone coverage, turning off the heat in every room except the one they are in, food shopping, if they have the cash, at Costco, otherwise looking for food banks at which they will not be recognized, no new shoes, clothes from Good-Will for everyone. Forget Christmas!

It’s like falling off a cliff that has no discernable bottom. The story keeps getting more and more horrendous. Soon there is no medical insurance. You get to watch the children get and stay sick just as you get and stay sick.

This is the Big Knock on the Door. Can we wake up yet?

This is not the Nation for which we, when we were the Forefathers, gave our lives. This is not the Nation dedicated to the fact that “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed….”

This is a Soul call. We can if we have the will straighten this mess out. The least thing we can do is exercise that bottom line Right for which so many of our brothers and sisters have died defending, the right to vote, to speak our hearts and minds to make sure that “…Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed….”

Friends, if you are one of the many millions who did not vote in the last election, or if you have some friends who consider themselves above “politics” or who have been rendered irrelevant by breathing the poison gas of cynicism, the fog that sees everything as “fixed’’ and “my vote means nothing” help them to wake up!

In a true democracy, in a true country where justice and liberty for all actually exists, every voice is responsible. Every voice speaks. When we all speak, the Truth will dominate and sweep from the face of the planet these carrion who feed on despair and discouragement.

Lets quit singing about overcoming “some day.” That Some Day has arrived. Fact is we are overcoming right now. We need to sustain the drive that has been generated by our Brothers. The time is now, and we will prevail. We always have.

The Common Good and the General Welfare:

The following piece was composed by a relatively young (46) person close to me. It eloquently describes the results of the insane pursuit of the special interests of those few who have wealth and power, those who consider themselves to be exclusive, and privileged and too bad for the rest of us.

I am the 99%

I am an adjunct English instructor at a community college in Salinas, CA. My students are the children of immigrant farmworkers. They are the lower end of the 99 percent. They try to be students while maintaining full time jobs, caring for children and sick relatives, and managing multiple sources of chaos. Salinas is a cancer cluster. Every semester at least one of my students has a parent or grandparent diagnosed with cancer. It is common sense that this is due to the pesticides used on crops, but the agriculture business lobbies hard against stricter regulations and insists that there is no proven link between instances of cancer and pesticides. Salinas is crime-ridden. Every semester I lose a student to either violent crime or the penal system. Every semester I have female students who are/have been victims of domestic abuse. Alcohol and drug abuse are prevalent. My students have a hard time finding quiet, safe places to study.

They are also woefully underprepared for college work and seriously lacking in fundamental English writing proficiency. They come to college because they have been told it the THE way to transcend their current circumstances of crime, poverty, and dead end, low-paying, soul killing work. Their goals are not lofty—a decent life and the wherewithal to take care of their responsibilities—but they have an uphill battle to achieve them.

My battle to help them is uphill as well. I teach and am paid for 9 "contact hours" a week, but I work more like 50. I start the semester with about 100 students. I do not get paid for the literally countless hours I spend evaluating and giving feedback on written work, planning curriculum, meeting with students one-on-one to help them with their writing, sending and answering emails. I do all of this unpaid work because I HAVE TO. If I didn’t, many more would fail. I am a teacher, and it is much more than a job; it is a serious responsibility. I gross $519 a week unless there is a holiday in there for which I do not get paid. I do not get paid during winter or summer breaks, although I do spend this time doing “professional enrichment”—looking for materials and ways to improve my curriculum and methods. Also I get no paid vacation or sick time off. No retirement. No medical.

I have $100,000.00 in unpaid student loans. At this point, almost a third of that is interest that has capitalized because since earning my MA, I have been unable to find steady, full-time employment and begin paying back my debt.

I have been to the emergency room twice in the last 2 years for bladder infections. I owe $3600.00 in medical bills that I can’t possibly pay. I have 3 kids between 10 and 16 years old. My husband has a full-time retail job with benefits but only makes $13.00 an hr. It costs $200 per month to insure our 16 year-old who suffers from chronic migraines and needs to see a specialist. It would cost another $300 to insure me. That would amount to almost half his paycheck. We can’t afford it. I haven’t seen a doctor or dentist in 4 years.

Three years ago the picture was much different. My husband I and I both had full-time jobs as editors and made a combined income of about $97,000.00 a year. He got laid off in August of 2008 and was unemployed for two and a half years before he found the much lower paying job in retail he has now. After distance training my Indian replacement, I was laid off in January 2009. I found work a year later, but as explained above, it is only part time.

We don’t aspire to be wealthy. Right now I don’t even aspire to be middle class in the sense of owning my own home, taking vacations, going out to dinner and/or a movie once in a while, buying the occasional new car, paying for college for my three kids, retiring in relative comfort, being able to take care of my ageing parents.

Right now all I think about is ways to earn enough income to cover gas, groceries, and rent. And it would be nice to be able to go to the doctor and dentist. I have raw a spot on my lip that won’t heal, I need new glasses, and I am pretty sure I have a cavity.

I am the 99%

***********************************************************************************************************

So, The only path that will lead us out of this chaos is the vote.

Who to vote for? That is the question.

Once it is understood that "Good can come only from Good" and that only Good can come from Good, it is really simple to evaluate a candidate. Does what he/she is standing for support sustainable programs that foster the Common Good and General Welfare not only for human beings but for the planet or not?

There is no room for equivocation. There are no partial goods. If a program is damaging the life liberty and happiness of a segment of humanity or the planet, it can’t be Good. If what is good for you is bad for me than it can’t be good. What destroys the planet is not good for anybody, even those who are profiting from it.

What can we do? We can support as much of the Common Good and the General Welfare that we can find in the candidates with our vote.

The Road Ahead

The Back Trail

Since the beginning of the second Solar System, we have been involved in the Long Struggle with the Forces of Retrogression. Although the many, many battles have always involved all three of the lower dimensions, most of them were focused on the dense physical plane. On that plane, we have killed each other, and anything else that got in the way, by untold billions. At their core all of these battles were and are in reality only different chapters in the Long Struggle to prevent the effort on the part of the Retrogressors to subvert human freedom and the evolution of consciousness on this planet.

The Actual Situation

In the most recent World War, (circa 1914-1945) through the world around defeat of the Retrogressor’s Forces, the Forces of Light achieved an extraordinarily crucial victory on the dense physical plane. If the Retrogressors had been successful in obtaining atomic weapons, and the struggle had continued with the use of atomic weapons, the planet and humanity would be vastly different today. However, great as the victory was, it was only on the dense physical plane. The “door where evil dwells” was not finally closed, and it was not, as we have seen over the last 67 years, the war to end wars, or the end of the struggle.

During the last 67 years, the Light forces have managed to keep the majority of the battles off of the dense physical plane. Those that did break out were successfully contained in a relatively small areas of the globe. However, today, even as we meet here and meditate, battles of epic proportions are being waged on the subtle dimensions of the mental and emotional fields of human life. The battle is still totally global. It has multidimensional and multifaceted fronts in all of our institutions: systems of government, economy, politics, religion, education, health and welfare. It takes only a moment to look over the globe to realize that, although being waged on the subtle dimensions, these encounters produce no less terrifying results on the dense physical.

The Hidden Revealed

The Retrogressors are international. They pay allegiance to no country, and care not at all which nations suffer under their actions. Their ultimate global strategy of is to reinstitute the age of Kings. By whatever name that works, they aim to recreate a two tier system of total domination over the planet. As it was in the past, this system would consist of a small ruling elite, perhaps 1% of the total population, and the rest of us.

The Retrogressors are enormously powerful on the lower dimensions. They observe absolutely no rules of battle or anything like compassion or mercy, and yet, they are finding it be very difficult to control 7 billion individuals. We have all bemoaned the problem of “over population”. The fact is that the planet under a rational system of right sharing could easily support with beauty and harmony more than 7 billion souls. It fails only when the systems of energy distribution are malfunctioning, as they are today.

It well may be that the presence of the 7 billion souls is a significant factor in the Light forces ability to contain the Retrogressors as well as we have. It does appear that a significant percentage of these 7 billion individuals have actually evolved through the evolutionary process of reincarnation to a point of being somewhat group conscious. I mean, you and I have. What makes us so special?

It is the growing presence of group consciousness that, for the first time in history, the strategy of the Retrogressors, is being seen, and understood by very large segments of the international public for what it is: The struggle between the 1% who own/control 90% of the world’s resources and the 99% of the rest of us.

The Immediate Challenges

Consequently, the Retrogressors are all about getting rid of people. What better way to achieve that than an atomic war? Thus, to bring the struggle back to the dense physical is their immediate objective and the rationale behind all of the “minor wars” which they engineer and hope to be able to escalate into global atomic confrontations. Today, if a major war breaks out on the dense physical, given the presence of atomic weapons and the willingness to engage in the use of poison gas and biological war, even if the forces of Light win, humanity will be set back thousands of years.

The Exposed Secret Weapon

That the planet is presently enormously out of balance is strikingly apparent. This imbalance appears in many ways but none so obvious as the totally distorted sharing of planetary wealth. In the pursuit of their grand scheme of a two tier system, the Retrogressors or 1%ers have consciously and systematically deployed their power, the almost total control over planetary wealth, to create and maintain a stealth system of slavery over humanity.

This kind of stealth slavery denigrates and devalues labor and gradually indentures individuals by binding them in chains of debt. The Retrogressors manage this by diverting and impounding energy or wealth from the systems blood stream into their own exclusive and separative coffers. They thereby remove an enormous part of the world energy from circulation.

This forces individuals to go into debt, to sell their freedom, to become indentured, just to maintain anything like a decent standard of living. This situation finally results as we have all too frequently witnessed in massive unemployment, despair, discouragement, the outbreak of starvation, disease, anarchy, and warfare over what little there is left.

The Great Understanding

Although the picture, particularly the world financial picture, does not look that rosy, the success of evolution has resulted in large advances for humanity in many areas and is seriously impeding the Retrogressor’s time table. It is this fact which accounts for the their present level of fury, their insanity or madness and is generating their tireless efforts to bring the conflicts down to the dense physical plane. However, we have, I think, learned that war on the dense physical simply does not get anything done.

The results of our victory in the last world war have shown us, I think, that the Retrogressors cannot be killed, or eliminated through physical plane warfare. They, and the problem they present to us, cannot be dealt with on the dense physical plane at all. And if it came to dense physical plane war, win or lose, they would be much happier with a world population of a few hundred million or so.

The Revelation

However, although these individuals cannot be killed, they can, because of the expansion of human consciousness, be exposed and made irrelevant. It is exactly this result which the expansion of consciousness from the separative, self centered individual to the group conscious soul centered person is achieving. To expose their sick dead end agenda, and to be made irrelevant not only defeats the Retrogressors, it makes them, well, irrelevant to the further evolution of the planet. Although this is a fate toward which they are not pleased to go, it is their inevitable doom, and has been so from the beginning.

Among the most striking results of this phenomena of the expansion or, more accurately, the evolution of consciousness is the recognition by the individual human being of one’s self in others. This recognition creates a realization of relationship or the embryo of brotherhood. And from this realization their flows a natural evolutionary development which is the willingness to actually do unto others as one would have them do unto one’s self.

The Power Of The Good

This recognition of kindness and the automatic extension of love to others is, in short, what we call service. Service is a natural indicator of the presence of Soul or our Truth. Service is always automatically rendered to what is a spontaneous recognition of the Light in the brother or sister. This Light is the Good. As Soul presence evolves through our efforts to implement this recognition of the Good our skill in spontaneously recognizing it evolves. Eventually, we realize that it is the Good which is Common to us all and that the Common Good is the only Good there is.

So, the way ahead is pretty clear. Our job is to make the principles of the Common Good and its companion, the General Welfare, high profile concepts in the vocabulary of the planetary intelligentsia and the general public. If you have noticed, these two terms have pretty much resisted the efforts of the Retrogressors to render them meaningless. They make efforts to link them with such terms as socialism and communism and liberalism and so forth, but it is pretty hard to speak out against the Common Good.

We need always remember that energy follows thought, and when the focus of a couple of billions of our brothers and sisters zeros in on the Common Good and the General Welfare, the 1% will become basically irrelevant. Thus our meditation work for 2012 will be focusing on empowering these two Deeply Esoteric concepts through the penetration of meaning and significance and the embodiment of the inevitable Light which follows.

Cleaning Space

Also. we will be ramping up the use of the “sub-plane Clearing meditation” which we have been using for the New Moon on line mediation. We have been including an abbreviated and focused form of this clearing and seeding meditation in the distribution phase of our daily mediations, and we will make this available to everyone.

This sub-plane clearing meditation is the most effective way of distributing the Light contacted in our meditations throughout the Planetary etheric body. This process of filling space with Light or the Good not only drives the incoherent and discordant formulations of chaos from the planes, but it makes this Light much more readily available to any person anywhere who is working with Goodwill for the Common Good and General Welfare at any level on any task at all from driving a bus to planning a new government

Let us all so remember, that in this work, by making them irrelevant, we are rendering a great service to our brothers who are imprisoned in their old thoughtforms of power and privilege. We are setting them free from this planet so that they will have an opportunity to evolve elsewhere.

What The Maple Said.

There is a pretty good sized maple tree boarding my back patio. I have been acquainted with it for 35 years or so, and have watched it grow both in height and width. Being one of the not so many deciduous trees in my immediate ken, I have always been aware of the spectacular changes that this friend goes through each spring and autumn. The autumn color change is very late this year. It is the last day of October now and the transition is underway.

It was a nice sunny day, and I was spending a little quiet time on the patio last evening. The westering sun was lighting up the crown of the maple with that wonderful soft evening light. The leaves, big, five pointed, deep green ladies which swing back and forth on their stems in the slightest breeze, were tinging with all sorts of shades of red and soft yellows which looked especially deep in this particular light. The tinging begins on the edges of each leaf and gradually moves into the leaf’s center. Lots of the leaves were at various stages in this process, and the tree, which is wide enough to practically fill my vision, looked stunning against that deep blue the sky gets toward sunset.

I was just sitting there quietly enjoying the beauty of the evening, when one of the more brilliant leaves suddenly detached from its branch and began to fall. It rotated slowly as it fell. It was sort of a melancholy thing, and I wondered if the tree was sad about the approaching loss of its leaves.

I heard an emphatic statement. “Not at all!” And I then noticed this space in the center of the maples canopy which was not quite in focus. It appeared to be shimmering, and I figured that was the source of the statement I had heard in my head. So, I asked it what that meant.

“This is a period of great joy for us. We have completed another round of service to the Great Plan. We are returning to our Mother’s store house of Life that which we used to make the leaves and grow our trunk and branches. We have cleaned much air, and generated much oxygen. We go through this fire ritual as a celebration of the Mother’s love for all that have lived in us and used our shade and beauty. We look forward to a period of assimilation and rest now as we prepare for the next round in the Great Cycle of the Mother’s breath. She breaths. We live. We serve.”

This little conversation has unhinged a part of heart memory, and a door of understanding has opened. Years ago I watched and old man come out into the alley-way that ran between our two houses every day in the autumn of the year and rake up the leaves that had fallen from a very large willow tree in his yard. It was a ritual thing. It went on for 3 or 4 weeks. He was absorbed in his labor, diligent, careful, and there was a kind of beauty and joy in the scratching rhythm of his raking.

I wrote a haiku that fall which I did not understand until now.

Wind rakes the Willow

Old man rakes the fallen leaves

Life rakes the old man

In The Arms Of the Mother

Note: The following blog was given as a talk at the full Moon meditation for Aries in Los Angeles California on Sunday September 17th

We stand now within a field love wisdom a field of heart energy woven together by the beautiful ritual of recognition and gratitude which always creates or manifests in group cohesion and power.

As a group of dedicated and determined disciples we are immersed in what Master M calls the great Act of Reconstruction. We are co-creating the New World. We are working with the energy of Synthesis which has been brought into our reach through the combined efforts of Christ, Sanat Kumara and the Avatar of Synthesis.

This inflowing extra systemic energy is creating and empowering enormous and unavoidable energy vortices throughout our planetary life. These energy vortices impact human consciousness as highly enhanced and refined manifestations of the ancient Principles of Cosmos. They create very rapid and extremely violent change.

Over the past 150 years there have been many examples of the action of the inflowing synthesis energy: The Civil war in the United States lasted four bloody and destructive years and created basic significant changes to the American Constitution. The great war which we call World War I and II lasted a total of 10 years. It was extremely violent ending in atomic explosions and changed the face of the world enormously. Compare these events with the old wars of Europe, the 100 years war for example which lasted 114 years and resulted in little if any significant change in human freedom.

These recent wars had to do specifically with the principle of Freedom an Ageless Cosmic Principle about which we know very little. Master D. K. has pointed out that Freedom is “one of the attributes of Cosmic Deity like will, love and mind.” It “is a leavening energy which can permeate substance in a unique manner….” The sudden uprisings of oppressed masses throughout the Middle East are current examples of the impact of the Synthesis energy on human consciousness. While not as physically violent as some, it is notable that in Egypt, it took only 19 days from the day of revolt to the resignation of Mubarak.

It is vital that we realize that the growing presence of these high frequency vortices of synthesis in our planetary life have caused enormous change. They will continue to do so. Their presence is the Cosmic reaction to the great imbalance and discord that humanity’s actions over the centuries has caused to manifest within the planetary life.
Cosmos will have equilibrium through reconstruction. End of discussion.
Synthesis is the process of reconstruction. It absorbs the Life Force from the gross, dark, inharmonious and discordant forms in which human ignorance and selfishness has encased it and builds new more coherent lighted and beautiful forms in all areas of human living.

This Evening, the Luminaries with whom we will be working are ultra powerful. The energies following into our field through our alignment with these Luminaries augment and empower the energy and work of the Christ, Sanat Kumara and the Avatar of Synthesis. This is Aries. This is the Launch. If you have ever watched the launch of the space shuttle from Cape Canaveral you get the idea of what we going to meet this evening.

This level of power has always characterized Aries. What is different today from, say two or three hundred years ago, is that humanity is much more capable of receiving and containing this energy. The reason for this new ability is the evolutionary development of group consciousness and the manifestation of that development is visible right here in this room, right now. If you would look back over the past 150 years or so at the evolution of group consciousness you would get a good idea of why Master M. calls this reconstruction.

A little understood but primary effect of the development of true group consciousness is the emergence of the long submerged and denied presence in every human being of what Master M. calls the Devine Feminine. This emergence is, by the way, one of the factors, perhaps the major, which has to be in place before the Christ’s appearance can actually be registered by humanity. The primary evidence of the emergence of the feminine principle is the growing presence of the frequency of love wisdom within the human psyche.

We speak of these things as if they were a list or if they happened in some sort of order. The truth is that these events are 4th dimensional occurrences. They all happen all at once. It is our underdeveloped vision that sees them as “knowledge or as force expressing itself”. We process them as data, rather than experience them as real events in consciousness. As we continue to evolve into our heritage we will be more and more able to think, that is to use “love-wisdom which is energy in action.”

You may think it strange that I would be talking about the divine feminine in an Ares talk. However, it is acute that we understand the attributes and qualities of the feminine principle. They are the power of Goodwill and— the basic function of the Divine Mother—the power of receptivity. We need to understand how these qualities connect with the Heart or seat of love-wisdom which is the only aspect in Cosmos that can register and hold energy this refined or at this power level.

As we approach the point of contact in our meditation, we will endeavor to bring the entire power of the group feminine principle into play. We need to be 100% receptive. This is the great power of the Mother. She is able to contact receive and hold the inflowing energy of Divine Will, and to subsequently give that will form and birth in the dense physical world. This is all possible because She is the vessel of Love Wisdom. She is Venus the Goddess of Love Wisdom.

It is also instructive to consider the force field into which these energies are being directed which is Libra, the balance. The Ray energies at play in Libra are all along the first ray line of will and power; Rays 3, 5, and 7. Again there is no second ray present; however, the being that holds the balance is the Mother of the World, the vessel of Love Wisdom. Who better to weigh and Judge than the Divine Mother?

It is the expansion of consciousness that accounts for our ability to finally register these always existent facts, for if we think, that is use the heart to ponder on this, it is clear that when the consciousness expands, it moves from knowledge into Love-Wisdom. From one dimensional analysis into fourth dimensional experience.

So, this evening, as we enter into the heart of this co-creative ritual we call the full moon meditation work, let us do so with deep love and gratitude for our Planet and all its myriads of beings and for ourselves and for those who guide and help us. Only thus will be able to stand receptive in the arms of the Mother.
