INFILTRATION INTO RELIGIONS
But you have your clues if you but attend them: in one sentence the newscast will pronounce recovery of the economy and within the very next breath they will announce the close of a major business and/or "...another 6,000 to 10.000 layoffs" in "one" industry branch. If you dig further you will find that the industries in point are completely owned and operated by the Elite few and you will ALWAYS find that among the top two owners will be the Royal Family of England!! No, they DO NOT give out that information. We give it to you when we can work it into the writings and then search for confirmation for you--we are narrowing it down now, however, and the "horse's mouth" with inside intelligence workers will be joining us very, very soon. We have some magnificent men on our team, in addition to the faithful workers already aboard--YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR MESS IF YOU WANT TO FOR IGNORANCE IS NO LONGER GOING TO VALID EXCUSE. HONOR YOURSELVES, YOU WHO HAVE BLESSED THESE WEARY WARRIORS ALONG THE PATH, FOR YOU ARE THE PIONEERS OF TRUTH! THAT WHICH YOU HAVE ACQUIRED FROM THIS PLACEMENT IS WITHOUT PRICE--TOTALLY WITHOUT PRICE. GOD IS THE ONE WHO HAS BROUGHT TRUTH UNTO YOU AND ATTENDS MY LESSONS AS GIVEN, FOR YOU WILL BE SHOWN THE WAY AND THEN HE WILL WAIT UPON YOU--BUT MAN "ELITE" (THE ADVERSARY) WILL EFFORT TO DO YOU IN IN ADVANCE OF YOUR GAINING KNOWLEDGE. IT IS UP TO YOU!SO BE IT AND AMEN.
What happened to "religion" and why has man found it so difficult to accept the possibility of errors? One who denounces the Catholic church cannot seem to believe there could have been an error from the group around Martin Luther or John Calvin. How many of you even know who these people are? I thought not. You of the world who consider yourselves "religious" are exactly that--in love with "religion", NOT God. You wouldn't know, from the "religious" inconsistent teachings, God, if He sat on you--which He is now ready to do. How many will recognize Him? Oh, you really think so? I am privy to your ideas and pronouncements and I think you are mistaken!
The early religion of beliefs, as we were speaking of in the prior chapter, in spiritual beings soon added super-natural beings and MAGIC to those beliefs and then made a big thing of FEAR. Even those early men who weakened ethical practices by infiltrating religious beliefs devised many ways of profiting by them even then as they did thousands of years later on a much larger scale. As this fact is one of the greatest contributors to world degradation of today, you cannot pass it by unnoticed, otherwise we could not tell you what is the matter with man's world. We will refer to this later in relation to the BOOK OF THE DEAD which was written for the express purpose of obtaining money for magic charms and other means of helping the dead to escape the various punishments they would otherwise have to undergo. With after-death fear came evil and sin, pure inventions of man, which did not exist in the highest stages of Egyptian life. Neither did greed for material possessions dominate this first high race. That also grew--and spread later into Babylon and destroyed it.
Those who think of this early race as savage must know that the Pyramids they built have never yet been exceeded by man as scientific structures. One of them shows the existence of a high state of knowledge in mathematics, astronomy and astrology, besides the inclusion of writings which indicate an equally high standard of knowledge of literature. We shall quote later some extracts from the great literature of the Egyptian civilizations which arose and fell between the years of 6000 and 1500 B.C., from which the Psalms and Proverbs of our Old Testament were rewritten with modifications.
Our ancient Bible history is redundant with its tales of slaughter and immoral episodes. We are prone to think of that stage as being due to the early stage of man, whereas it is a stage of fallen man, a stage of long degeneration which followed the infiltration of after-death fear and evil in man. It never seems to have occurred to historians that the intensely low moral stage of Babylonian man was a stage of several thousand years decline of a great race.
All of the foregoing has been written to make it clear to you that when physical man discovered spiritual man, his first greatest desire was to multiply the Mind-qualities of spiritual man. Long centuries passed before the physical qualities, which were instinctive in him for millions of years, gradually dominated the spiritual aspirations of this highly unfolded intellectual race.
It is necessary to give a little space to describe to you the basic cause of the battle between the spiritual and physical natures of early man so that you can comprehend that the whole human race has gradually reached higher and higher standards of physical unfolding which have been expressed by greed for power, physical possessions and entertainment for the senses at the expense of suppressing its spiritual qualities of character, morality and Mind-inspiration.In other words, the human race has for thousands of years been gaining the whole world and paying the price of it by losing its own Soul. To the extent that you do not even recognize that which IS actually the taking of the Soul. Some will live in the world and then utilize nothing which is claimed by "Caesar" such as tools which are set up for themselves--i.e. Corporations, etc. You have been totally confounded and no longer KNOW what it is you are doing or what is Truth and what is the lie in actuality.
You simply do not know whether any other civilizations existed on Earth Shan before the one you know of which had its cradle in Egypt. Yes, of course, there were others--long since harboring their revelations and treasures beneath the sea--with all the classical indications of your dry lands having once been beneath the same seas. You can find traces of proof that at least four "Ice Ages" swept down over Europe, almost to the Mediterranean, during the long millennia previous to the birth of Conscious Man. If any races or civilizations have been buried by the "Ice Age" flow, you are not given privy to know it. You do know, however, that for over a million years the human primitive "Stone Age" man has been occupying all of that area around the Mediterranean and far south into the Sahara Desert which was then a fertile forest-covered hunting ground with heavy rainfalls. You know this because you have found his stone tools and weapons throughout the entire country, and from there north and east through the Euphrates country where Babylon once flourished, across the rest of Asia into China and India. It was in Egypt, however, that the awakening of the Light in man first took place.
During those limitless ages, his sole thought was survival for his body which depended solely upon food and shelter. For this he had to fight constantly. Therefore, for those endless ages his instincts were concentrated upon fighting and killing in order that he might have the necessities for existing. During this period he had no moral nature whatsoever. He was as much animal as other creatures of the jungles and forests were animal.
Gradually he began to observe and reason to an extent sufficient to make weapons which helped him to kill. During all of that period he made his weapons from stone. Not until after Consciousness of Mind in him began did he make weapons and other utensils out of metal.
The one purpose of this brief interlude is to call to your attention the fact that man instinctively killed for a million or more years, before and after he knew that it was wrong to kill. During that killing period he also obtained what he desired by the power of MIGHT-OVER-RIGHT.
Do you not clearly see how it is that when there is any lowering of the moral and cultural standards of man, his physical instincts quickly prevail and he quickly adopts the might-over-right principle of TAKING WHAT HE WANTS, even by killing when necessary and often, when not necessary?
Do you not also clearly see that any individual man, or nation of men, or world of men, who have descended morally or culturally quite easily revert to their old instinctive qualities and rob and kill and enslave other men until all that they have gained of culture and character in generations is lost in a plunge toward their old jungle status? Can you not see this degradation quickly taking place during the last century of wars with their wholesale killings? Do you not see the lowering morality in the sex looseness and lack of character of man in the ratio in which he loses his spiritual nature? Do not further preserve your ignorance by basing all of your assumptions on your own nation--no matter which nation in which you dwell. Look at the looseness of moral degradation in Holland, for instance, with legalization and liberalization of prostitution and the full flow of a welfare state--advertising "their products" in store windows, no less. This is but example, but what of the entire city park in Geneva and other places in Switzerland, where drugs are bought and sold and clean needles (over 7,000 a day!) are given to the addicts who exist and die in that park--right behind the most expensive money houses in the known world.
Worse now, you must become informed about the U.S. government's total control and involvement in the drug importing business. Billions are traded in every day. Even the drug lords would give up the trade, specifically Khun Sa of the Asian Golden Triangle, except for the involved U.S. government under George Bush. The CIA under Bush had controlled the entire market. Remember North? Well, these men dealt in drugs to facilitate the Iran-Contra criminal actions. Your own government'sArmitage, Gates, the Bush's, Shackley, Kissinger, and on and on--control those drug transactions, brought the drugs in to destroy your citizens and take your world. Eagle-burger, Scowcroft--all entangled. These ones, then, through the Israeli lobby, bought off your Congress--just like they did the Administration--and now you have Israeli government by BLACKMAIL and cooperation of the IMMORAL PARTICIPANTS. The intrigue and substance which we could herein write for you is beyond your comprehension and yes, we will arrange to bring you more and more and more, for an informed people is all that will salvage your civilization. We just need to also keep the leaders alive in this massive effort to kill them.
This is the position in which the world of man finds itself today. Within the past three to four decades the immorality compounds itself as your Constitutional rights are removed by the same compounding principle.
YOU HAVE NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS--NOW--IN THE U.S., YOU ONLY "THINK" THAT YOU DO. IT IS DONE AND THE "PRACTICE" OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM IS TOTALLY ALIEN TO THE CONSTITUTION. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN NOW MADE ALLOWABLE FOR ANY ACTION DESIRED BY THE ADMINISTRATION ON THE BASIS OF "EXECUTIVE ORDER". I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS OVER AND OVER BY HATONN--BUT IT SEEMS TO NEVER "SINK IN". SO BE IT.
Long ages of being constantly inoculated with the teachings of after-death fear, and greed for wealth and power for the physical body, had bred the kind of man and civilization which imaged his thinking. Nothing could better exemplify theaxiom that man becomes what he thinks and wants to be than the long ages of spiritual decline which have taken place since man began to again take on the physical qualities of might-over-right practices that he lost while making the great ascension from the jungle to the Pyramid Age Man.
We shall now go back to that great age and tell you how man of that age conceived a God who was GOOD and trace the fall of man to the God of wrath and vengeance which man has created for this age.
All of the foregoing has been in preparation for you to better comprehend the unfolding of the human race in its eight to ten thousand year effort to live together as a unified civilization. How far has man succeeded in this attempt since the Dawn of Consciousness? The answer to that question is stark tragedy for twenty civilizations have fallen during that time. For the first two thousand years, he succeeded in forming a cooperative, friendly civilization of communal people who attained a high degree of character, culture and righteousness.Ever since then, man has been descending spiritually and advancing technologically--a very, very unfavorable circumstance.
In your eyes, your mechanized civilization seems far advanced--to anything you have known historically. You do not know of the wondrous space ships and interstellar travel prior to the going down of Atlantis, Lemuria, Pan, Mu, etc. But some of those records are now being caused to be "found" in monasteries and hidden places and we shall write of them--indeed, more technical than anything you have today. And what of today? If you continue in your path, you will be one of the oral tradition speakings of mythology--again into the ages of darkness. These records are now being written that they can be preserved for the cultures who will follow you and will have forgotten how it was. Will man hear and see or will these writings simply be a "scroll" to be "found" at some time after eons of passage and sequence? Will a JOURNAL be found wrapped and sealed in resin beneath a stone in a tomb some 10,000 years from this day? What will the "language" be? What will the symbols be into which this primitive symbology will be transcribed from some gifted receiver/translator?
Here is a sobering, I hope, thought for today. What will be made of these scribblings? Think carefully about that which we are bringing you and I believe you will get the drift of your direction in experience. Think of what has been outlaid in these writings--WILL IT NOT BE MORE REPRESENTATIVE OF "WHAT HAPPENED" TO THIS CIVILIZATION? WHAT DO YOU FIND OF ROME AND GREECE? YES, THAT WHICH HAPPENED PRIOR TO THE FALL! Ah, but the Godly went somewhere didn't they? I have bad news for you so-called Christians who expect an irresponsible "Rapture". The Christians of the day in Rome thought they,too, would be lifted up, up and away--instead thousands upon thousands died in the arenas of doom--fed to the lions and executioners. YOU HAD BEST GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT FOR THEY, TOO, WERE OFFERED EXIT VISAS AND THEY, TOO, REFUSED THE JOURNEY WHILE THEY WAITED FOR THAT WHICH WAS MISREPRESENTED UNTO THEM!
To an early Egyptian, however, your man-killing civilization would seem savage, for its sole desire was to save man. The early Egyptian would be utterly amazed and astounded at your world which has created the idea of sin and evil, and at your concept of a personal god of wrath and vengeance instead of a God of Light which they could see as the Creator of GOOD. The sun was their symbol of God. You very lightly classify them as "sun-worshipers", but the early-man concept of a Creator was a logical one and the pagan concept which you have adopted is extremely illogical.
Ever since the Dawn of Conscience, man began his long search for his Creator. When he first began to think and reason, the first great fact of life was growth of life followed by death. His reasoning process pointed to the sunlight as the Creator of life. He could see all vegetation facing the sun and following it to drink in its light-of-life-and-growth. All day the sun gave life--and all night the earth slept in darkness, only to rise again when the light-of-life awakened all Nature every morning.
And so it was that the first great thoughts of unfolding man were of a Creator who was GOOD and of his Creation which was all GOOD.
It logically followed that if the Sun gave life to man, man also must be GOOD. EVIL had not yet come into the world. Right and wrong had also not come into the world. There was naught but GOOD in it in those days before GREED came into the world.
You may better comprehend this great age of GOODNESS and CHARACTER if you will but try to translate yourself back into those days of man's intellectual beginning before even language began. Try to realize the first dawn of comprehension and understanding of man's connection and unity with Nature. During all of man's jungle life, his only thought was survival. His entire life was dominated by this one instinctive sense-urge.Man got what he wanted and needed by TAKING it.
Gradually the spiritual unfolding of newly-thinking man taught him that other men would be useful to him only if he would be equally useful to them. The demonstration of this principle of cooperation among men by mutual interchange of service came into the world with the first spiritual actions of GIVING and balanced RE-GIVING. One man helped another to build a wooden house, or a mud house. Civilization began that way and men found it GOOD.
Very slowly things happened in association between men that gave them pleasurable feelings. They invented words to communicate with each other, and that was GOOD. They liked the interchange of it. They liked mankind because mankind could interchange service for service and idea for idea. Greed for possessions had not then been a part of man's thinking. Whatever any man wanted could be obtained by working with other men. MAN was of first consideration, for that which was GOOD could come only through the Sun-God to man FOR man, and could be converted for every man's use only by the work of every man. Thus came the firststrictly communal civilization into the world. By "communal" I mean a social order of people who realized that each person뭩 happiness and comfort is dependent upon others and their happiness and comfort is dependent upon him. A good modern example is the group who came over in the Mayflower to build a new world. In such a case, the WHOLE is dependent upon every part and the loss of any part would weaken the whole.
The early Egyptians of 8,000 years B.C. to 4,000 years B.C. could be very well likened to such a group, for they came out of mental darkness into a new light of understanding which was like another world. They had to begin at a beginning and even create a language before they could create homes. Naturally the first thoughts of men who were trying to live together under a workable system were those of mutual service and cooperation. Religion had not begun. Morality and a social conscience had not yet begun nor had a sense of possession, greed or individuality begun.
The first dawning of a social conscience was based upon the fact that every man wanted to have the friendliness and cooperation of every other man. To gain that friendliness, early man found that service to another gained that happiness of friendship which he sought. Out of that principle grew a code of ethics in relation to man's relation to man which gave that happiness when obeyed and denied it to him when disobeyed. This is the way it grew. When one man pleased another, he found a name for it. He called it GOOD--or MAAT in his language. The first principle which developed from that code of ethics, which brought him happiness when obeyed, was this:
When you do that which makes you loved by men, it is GOOD. When you do that which makes you hated to man it is BAD.
There is nothing of right or wrong nor of good or evil in this connotation. Such a sense had not then arrived within the mentality of man. His ethics of that day made him shun doing that which made him to be unloved and, conversely, made him desire to do that which made him loved, for that was the only way he could acquire that state of happiness which became the basis for the "Age of Character" which preceded the building of the great Pyramids.
To create so high a social order demanded a system of mutual cooperation such as the world has never since known. That is where the "Age of Character" began. That is where the Brotherhood-of-Man principle began. That is where the first great architecture, poetry, literature and science began, and all had their roots in the principle of GOOD. To the Egyptian of that day, everything and everybody was GOOD. Their word of LOVE was MAAT. MAAT MEANS LOVE, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND CHARACTER. To the men of that day, the teachings of MAAT were of first importance. Everything else was secondary. All human character teachings were based upon the givings of GOOD from the sun which they believed to be the Creator of all things. A system of ethics grew from those teachings which spread down the centuries through Palestine, Persia, Babylonia and the far countries of India and China.
The Hebrew Proverbs, the Songs of Solomon, The Psalms and the great wisdom of all the Hebrew prophets of later days--also all that Confucius, Laotzu, Buddha, Krishna, Socrates, Plato, Lucretius, Moses, Abraham and Jesus said later--were first conceived and written down on papyrus thousands of years before any of these great mystics appeared.
Now it must be thoroughly understood and comprehended that the later mystics of the Middle Age period, which you know as "Before Christ (B.C.)", may not have even known that the thoughts and words they were giving to the world had ever been given before. It is not greatly unlike Dharma--almost all of that which is given to her is unknown by her that there is prior record of the teachings. Because "I" know does not mean that she is privy to the knowledge. If I present her with something from which I wish to work--so be it, but it will always be for ease of her ability to gather appropriate spellings of labels and words, etc. And then, as with all of you--we will arrange for her to come into some confirmations along the way for it is difficult to be literally "shot at" for service in isolation, believing you are the sole knower of the material. ALL IS KNOWN! ALL! However, man who comes into information and then uses it for his own benefit and material gain--actually suppresses the flow rather than allowing it to go forth in giving and allowing God to re-give in exchange.
Well, as we said before, it will all come into the light. Many of those old papyrus writings of pre-pyramid man have been buried until this very century and current decade. Neither Immanuel nor Krishna, the two supreme mystics of all time, had even seen them. They could, however, have known them as folklore in the manner in which wisdom, fable or drama reach from one generation through many others in their endless repetition. That is not the answer, though. The answer isthat God sends His illumined Messengers to man always, and always, age after age, these Messengers speak words of the same meaning, for all knowledge and all idea of the Truths of Nature exist perpetually. Illuminates acquire this knowledge cosmically and, as all knowledge is the same knowledge, it is spoken in words of the same meaningeven though the words vary. This fact is what should concern and interest you, for when you find yourself thinking cosmically by being inspired from within, you will speak words of the same meaning that these nameless Egyptian Illuminates of those very ancient days spoke before even Individualism began, or the same that the Illuminates of later days spoke after man began to think of man as an INDIVIDUAL. Thus it is that the first great individual ever known to history whose name was Iemhotep (Amenophis) wrote a scientific treatise on medical lore and surgery which preceded by thousands of years the words of the Greek Asclepios and the Roman Aesculapius--as you have been informed.
During the four to six thousand years before Iemhotep, all men thought of themselves as the WHOLE--not as separate individual parts. Whatever they did was for the WHOLE, even if one man did something for another man. Individualism did not creep in until desire for individual possessions crept in. When one wanted more possessions or more power than another, the strength of the whole social order suffered until the intense state of Individualism of today had been reached with its consequent threat of destruction of the whole human race. So pregnant with GOOD was this principle of UNIFIED WHOLENESS of your first civilization that it endured in some parts of the world until about 2,000 years B.C. All of the writings of the Indian Mahabharata were written that way. That great epic may have been written by a hundred men, but not one name is attached to it, not even to the greatest of all of them--the Bhagavad-Gita. Does it now make more sense to you WHY there is only the name of the scribe given as "dharma" to this work we are now "about"? We honor ones with names and make dedications but the scribe shows only as "dharma" or "druthea" or "Thomas" or, or, or. Man's contribution will be so indicated. Believe me, some of you who bear great human ego--do not TRULY want credit for all that you present--
I PROMISE YOU THAT MUCH, FOR YOU DO NOT YET UNDERSTAND THE RAMIFICATIONS OF YOUR OWN PRONOUNCEMENTS!
Individualism begat self-consciousness and self-desires. The word selfish stems from these qualities. Instead of desire being for the WHOLE, including one's self, desire for the self grew into the slowly forming commercial and political world as a poisonous germ instead of a leavener of the whole loaf to which the world's great geniuses contributed.
You must, therefore, fully comprehend that God sent Illuminates to man from the days of his early beginnings, but the high spiritually-endowed social order of that day gradually fell from its high estate in the ratio of man's growing individual and national division into selfish separateness.
Since there is ample input here for a chapter I believe it appropriate to end this one at this point. I can take up with a couple of examples when we return and keep continuity. Dharma, Aton needs you to translate for Him, please, with the travelers who will be arriving soon. We will sit again when we have opportunity뾣irst things must always take priority of the moment.
Salu.

CHAPTER 12
REC #3 GERMAIN
MONDAY, AUGUST 5, 1991 4:48 P.M. YEAR 4, DAY 354
It will be good right here to give an example or two of the manner in which writers of the Hebrew bible carried traditional Egyptian teachings into those darker ages which followed the greatest fall of man from his high standard of character and righteousness into the low, marauding, immoral, pagan Babylonian and Hebrew races. We will quote from Malachi 4-2, for example:
"Unto you that fear my name shall the sun of ritheousness arise with healing in his wings".
Here is a direct reference to the Egyptian Sun-God and the falcon wings which are so much a part of early Egyptian symbolism, yet these words in Malachi were written at least four thousand years after Egyptian civilization gave them meaning. Let us quote Psalm 104-24, for another example:
EGYPTIAN: "How manifold are thy works! They are hidden before men 0 sole God, beside whom there is no other. Thou didst create the earth according to thy heart".
HEBREW: "0 lord how manifold are thy works! In wisdom thou hast made them all: The earth is full of thy riches".
Here in the early days of man is the full acknowledgment of the One God. Thousands of years later, the Greeks, Norse, Chinese and many other people of the Middle Ages had many gods, but the influence of Egypt upon the Hebrew renaissance caused them to hold to the one god, but their god was not the GOOD God of the Egyptian concept. Sin and evil had come into the world because of man's lost character. Pagan man of the Old Testament days conceived a personal god of wrath and vengeance, a god who loved bloodshed and blood-sacrifice on every church altar. You, of today, have inherited that pagan concept and two out of every three humans on Earth believe in that god-of-fear concept instead of the Good God of the "Age of Character". This is indicative of the great depths the human race has fallen into since man became self-centered instead of communally-centered. When the fall of man began in "Pyramid Age" days, some current sage coined a new word which formerly had no place in Egyptian thinking. That word was AVARICE, which came to be known and dreaded beyond all other words, for these Sun-God men could see the threat of degradation befalling them at that time as the more illumined intelligentsia of your day can see your threatened degradation rapidly falling over your world.
No more inspiring poetry and philosophic literature has ever been produced than the inspirations of these early Egyptians. We will quote parts of an Ode to the Sun which symbolizes their concept of One God who gives naught to the world but GOOD. I quote the following from one, James Breasted's "DAWN OF CONSCIENCE".
UNIVERSAL MAINTENANCE:
The world subsists in thy hand,
Even as thou has made them.
When thou hast risen they live,
When thous settest they die;
For thou art length of life of thyself,
Men live through thee.
The eyes of men see beauty
Until thou settest.
All labour is put away
When thou settest in the west.
When thou risest again
Thou makest every hand to flourish for the king
And prosperity is in every foot,
Since thou didst establish the world,
And raise them up for thy son,
Who came forth from thy flesh,
Thou risest beautifully, 0 living Aton, Lord of Eternity;
Thou art glittering, beautiful, strong;
Thy love is great and mighty,
Thy rays furnish vision to every one of thy creatures,
Thy glowing hue brings life to the hearts of men,
When thou hast filled the Two Lands with thy love.
0 God, who himself fashioned himself,
Maker of every land,
Creator of that which is upon it:
Even men, all herds of cattle and the antelopes,
All trees that grow in the soil,
They live when thou dawnest for them,
Thou art the mother and the father of all that thou hast made.
As for their eyes, when thou dawnest,
They see by means of thee.
Thy rays illuminate the whole earth,
When thou dawnest as their Lord.
When thou settest in the western horizon of the sky,
They sleep after the manner of the dead,
Their heads are wrapped up,
Their nostrils are stopped,
Until thy rising comes in the morning,
In the eastern horizon of the sky.
Then their arms are uplifted in adoration of thee,
Thou makest the hearts of men to live by thy beauty,
For men live when thou sendest forth thy rays,
Every land is in festivity:
Myriads of life are in thee to sustain them alive,
For it is the breath of life in the nostrils to behold thy radiance.
All flowers live and what grows in the soil
Is made to grow because thou dawnest.
By this poem you can clearly see that the basis of righteousness and character is the Love, Beauty, Goodness and Truth which Nature manifests. To be GOOD is to be like the Creator of Goodness.The Creator of Nature was Love, and His actions all expressed Love. Early man set his standards by the actions of Nature which were all GOOD. He wanted to be loved. To be loved was to find happiness. Man made it his first effort to find happiness by making his actions like unto Nature. In so doing, man built CHARACTER and WISDOM.
We accentuate right here that the first builders of character based their civilization upon right actions--actions which conformed with the goodness of Nature. They did not build their Character and righteousness upon religious beliefs, for religion did not come into the world until a realization of the immortality of man brought after-death fears for punishment for those things that man did which made him to be unloved. A sense of the existence of evil gradually seeped into the human race as religious beliefs of right and wrong, good and evil, and the punishment of sin after death seeped into the human consciousness. These qualities were not in the early social order of pre-individualistic days. The human race was more alike in its standards.
Character and wisdom were treasured qualities of all men. They held to them with as much equality as possible. Fathers made it their first obligation to pass their wisdom on to the whole race through their sons. Civilization was a vast school for the teaching of character and wisdom as being based upon right actions. Not anywhere in these early teachings is the slightest evidence of teaching a system of beliefs as a basis of character. The word righteousness grew out of the phrase right actions.
A code of ethics grew out of the teachings of right actions which has been felt ever since in countries which followed these early Egyptian teachings. The most conspicuous example of inheritance of the Egyptian teachings during these long centuries of the gradual death of character was the ancient Chinese civilization. Confucius and Laotzu are conspicuous examples of these teachings. China was noted for its honesty and respect for its given word. During Confucius's life, one might lay his purse upon the street and no one would touch it except for the purpose of restoring it to its owner.
For long centuries, the father passed his wisdom to his sons and if, perchance, a son erred, the father took the fault upon himself for not being a worthy teacher. In such a manner, whole families became responsible for the wrong actions of any one member. This system seemed to be very unjust to the occidental, but it worked toward righteousness better than your system for whole cities policed themselves by theassumption of parental responsibility for righteous actions, while occidental cities were policed with great thoroughness. A story is told about a missionary who was sent to a certain city to convert the "heathen Chinese". A Chinese sage of the town invited him to dinner and asked him why missionaries were sent from a country which had a murder every thirty minutes to convert a city which had only one murder in thirty years. During the conversation, the old sage asked: "Why do you consider us to be heathen and your people to be enlightened"? The missionary answered in these words: "All people are heathen who have not accepted Jesus as their Redeemer and Saviour from sin".
This exemplifies the import which religion places upon belief as contrasted to right action.
One paragraph in Breasted's DAWN OF CONSCIENCE (which book, by the way, I suggest all who can find time--read-Charles Scribner's Sons), is so symbolic of the One God of Love which dominated the first human civilization that we quote it in full. Dharma, pay attention, chela, and allow us to quote it in full--it means a great deal more to you, precious, than at first glance. The words of it were written by an Egyptian Illuminate over a thousand years after Iemhotep's time. His name was Akhnaton (Ikhnaton) (Amunhotep IV). In referring to the Sun-God of early Egyptian concept, he wrote:
Thou art the father and the mother of all that thou hast made.
[Let us also pen Breasted's comment:]
"This teaching is one which anticipates much of the later development in religion even down to our own time. To the sensitive soul of this Egyptian dreamer, the whole animate world seems alive with consciousness of the presence of Aton, and filled with recognition of his fatherly kindness. The picture of the lily-grown marshes, where the flowers are 'drunken' in the intoxicating radiance of Aton, where the birds unfold their wings and lift them 'in adoration of the living Aton', where the cattle dance in delight in the sunshine, and the fish in the river beyond leap up to greet the light, the universal light whose beams are even 'in the midst of the great green sea'--all this discloses a discernment of the universal presenceof God in nature, and a mystic conviction of the recognition of that presence by all creatures. There is here an appreciation of the revelation of God in the visible world such as we find seven or eight hundred years later in the Hebrew Psalms, and in our own poets of nature since Wordsworth."
In these words is the spirit of that exalted race of God-conscious men which has gradually been lost to the whole human race in proportion to its technological advancement and its ever-increasing number of religious doctrines, creeds and beliefs which have so effectually disunited a once closely united race of God-conscious, non-individualistic, united men.
Then let us see how Breasted pictures this contrast in the following description of Ikhnaton (Akhnaton):
"Ikhnaton was a ' God-intoxicated man', whose mind responded with marvelous sensitiveness and discernment to the visible evidences of God about him. He was fairly ecstatic in his sense of the beauty of the eternal and universal light. Its beams enfold him in every moment of his which has survived�.. He prays, 'May my eyes be satisfied daily with beholding Him, when He dawns in this house of ATON and fills it with his own self by its beams, beauteous in love, and lays them upon me in satisfying light for ever and ever."
This awareness of God's presence which so vividly lived before the fall of spiritual man and the rise of technological machine-age material man is what we are trying to bring back into the world by awakening it in you, and nourishing it in the thousands of others like you in whom it is being awakened. We tell you over and over again that the human race can advance only in the measure in which each man recognizes his own divinity. We tell you over and over again that God's presence must be with you every moment, yet a large percentage of the<SUP> </SUP>human race will not even mention God and resents the mention of His name.
The reason for this is because the many doctrinal and creedal religions which have developed for thousands of years have gradually succeeded in picturing a God whom men repel because of the concepts and false beliefs in sin, evil, wrath and vengeance which God seems to be more concerned with than love. The end result which is now taking place is to drive the human race AWAY from religion, as evidenced by the fact that over 91 % of the old-time churchgoers of England do not go to church at all and the Sunday Schools of America are being rapidly turned into entertainment centers to hold their pupils.
More saddening still is the reaction of such conditions upon your coming generation of teen-agers. Youth delinquency, drugs, and crimes committed by youths are paralleled by the inconceivable sex-looseness of school age boys and girls which has become not only commonplace, but taught in the schools, so that the shock of it to moral thinking people seems to be giving place to its total acceptance as a passing phase of the times not only sanctioned but encouraged; even as similar sex-degradation appeared in the early days of Hollywood and wiped itself out by its own reactions--only to rise again more horrendously than ever before.
It is not as light as that, however, it is a repetition of the symptoms which made Babylon, Athens and Rome fall. Your present civilization is as sure to fall as past ones fell if character and righteousness do not come back into the human race by your efforts--and ours--to bring them back.
The whole world now asks: Is the Light of the world going out? Is it? Ask this of yourself. Ask yourself if the ugly underlying world-thought of today has the slightest resemblance to the world-thought of that long yesterday which expressed its thoughts in this way:
Thou findest him who transgresses against thee;
Woe to him who assails thee!
Thy city endures;
But he who assails thee falls.
The sun of him who knows thee not goes down, 0 Aton!
But as for him who knows thee, he shines.
The temple of him who assailed thee is in darkness,
But the whole earth is light.
Here you find an ancient race of men who rejoiced in knowing God, while you, who feel yourselves to be enlightened, have so few who thus rejoice. These whole messages, of course, are totally redundant with pleas to mankind to take GOD into its consciousness, but the very words seem strange to ninety-five percent of your people.
You might give some careful thought to one of your Earth people, Oswald Spengler, who proclaimed the final downfall of the white race of Western civilization and inferred the rise of the yellow race to world mastery!
If man succeeds in building an enduring civilization in which he finds happiness, prosperity and peace which passeth beyond understanding, it will be because he has founded it upon character. An enduring civilization cannot be built otherwise, nor can a successful, individual career be built otherwise.
In those old days when it became the responsibility of fathers to pass their wisdom on to their sons, one of them said:
Precious to man is the virtue of his son, and good character is a thing remembered.
The greatest moral order of all time grew out of the creation of a system of universal ethical values which reached their height of physical and spiritual expression two thousand years before Akhnaton's revival of them, after a period of their suffering from the effects of after-death fears and the evils which the religions were infiltrating into human thinking.
Akhnaton was comparable to Immanuel as the Messiah of his time; yet, like Immanuel, he was overthrown and every attempt to obliterate his teachings was practiced by the then lowering standard of man of his period, fourteen centuries before Christ.
Bear in mind that the One Solar God became the basis of the monotheistic religion which followed through the entirety of Egyptian life until the early Hebrews discarded it for a personal God who recognized the Hebrew race as his "chosen" people. When this transition took place, this god of the Jews changed his nature from the Creator of GOOD to the lover of bloodshed and punisher of evil. From that day, the altars of the Jews ran with the blood of thousands of animals which were sacrificed as appeasement for the sins committed by those who paid the priests of the temple for the sacrifices--those ones still expect ANOTHER to sacrifice in their stead. To this very day, the great majority of the human race accepts this pagan doctrine of an already fallen race in preference to the Solar God concept of a Creator of GOOD which shed His light and heat upon the world to create all that IS good for the needs of all Creation.
Let us close this segment and when we sit again we will give you example of some of the teachings which the fathers of four thousand years of Egyptian civilization passed on to their sons in their daily lessons. It might shock you a bit.
May the WORD be blessed.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1991
Since we must utilize the afternoon for a meeting, I suggest we postpone discussions of current affairs and simply move on with the book discourse. There are instructions necessary in other areas of activities and we must be prioritizing your time effectively.
The inquiries regarding corporations are piling up and ones coming into recent JOURNALS and EXPRESSES do not know the value of the information. We will do an EXPRESS very soon covering advantages, etc., and then, dear ones, you will simply have to get the information from the past writings. There is MUCH information outlaid in SPIRAL TO ECONOMIC DISASTER, PRIVACY IN THE FISHBOWL and YOU CAN SLAY THE DRAGON. We cannot impose upon our readers with items which have been so thoroughly covered, to rewrite the books. We will ask that some "examples" be shared for a bit better understanding. Also, I would personally suggest that ALL ones who wish to inquire--direct your questions to Cort and E.J. for that is their area of expertise and by going through them you will garner more benefits than if you simply go directly to Nevada. (805 822-0601) It is like utilizing an infinitely technical piece of equipment. You need instructions or it is worse than worthless뾷ou will get yourselves into trouble. We are only giving you some alternative measures to use for privacy and security--not to suggest you do something against the law. We are speaking solely of "shelter"--and an ability to minimize your visibility to the taxing giant through use of legal tools--not to "evade" anything.
Moreover, the point of setting up a "family" corporation is that you can set up your estate and business in such a manner as to totally negate need for probate, attorneys, etc. Old corporations never die--they just get a new President! and business goes on. Stocks and agreements can be distributed in such manner that--immediately upon pre-planned contingencies--activation and distribution takes place and thus and so, so that division of estates is EXACTLY according to the desire of the person(s) in point and the family assets are run as a business through members being on and making decisions as would any corporation through a Board of Directors (only ONE member if YOU so choose).
We are not in the corporate giant game--we expect any corporation which we assist to remain very small for we are not in the business of doing-in anything--only in "saving" you personally, something. It is a "tool" and like any "tool" you must learn how to properly use it and maintain it. If you go ask your accountant or tax person about such--I tell you now, THEY DON'T KNOW VERY MUCH OF ANYTHING ABOUT IT, MUCH LESS IF THEY ARE NOT IN THE STATE OF NEVADA. YOU ONLY COMPLICATE YOUR OWN AFFAIRS BY EVEN INQUIRING--YOUR MONEY IS THE WAY THEY MAKE THEIRS--THEY CERTAINLY ARE NOT GOING TO TELL YOU TO DO SOMETHING WHICH TAKES THEM OUT OF THE MONEY-MAKING LOOP! THINK ABOUT IT!
George/E.J., it is also time that a more instructive and understandable explanation be given to the public regarding the Institute and collateral, etc. There is gross misunderstanding in circles who have not made themselves privy to the procedures. Many think, somehow, that you are in the gold purchasing business or "something". No--not so and moreover, as you move into backing anyone for the Presidency--all monies will be most carefully covered so that there are no areas to be found which can be attacked. Further, remember carefully, that speakers and professors are to be within the circle of the Institute. Even if they are "guest" lecturers--that is the purpose of an Institute of Education and Research; especially if they volunteer their time, which most will be doing in the immediate days ahead.
All of you need all of the protection possible so let us utilize the tools effectively, also. You will especially find the Center for Constitutional Law in building case references and researching the Constitution--needs the shelter of the wings of a "mother". The MOTHER will be the entity upon whose Board of Directors we sit! I do not wish to pull rank--but you have a very high level Board of Directors at the Phoenix Institute and we insist that decisions always include our input and the resolutions reflect same. God is on the team; He has laid down the Laws and we will use them to the very best of our ability to function. You can function very effectively according to and totally within His Laws in balance with the Natural Laws of Mother뾇VERY TIME! Thank you. Now let us return to our Journal.
In the Egyptian civilization the fathers passed on to their sons, in their daily lessons, some wondrous character-building requirements. In reading some of these, may you not regret that the fathers of this day, or the educational institutions which represent the fathers' relations to their children of this day, do not give heed to them as the most important part of their education.
Again I am going to utilize the writings of James Henry Breasted for I feel he is the most insightful historian of that portion of history. I honor greatly, this wondrous and devoted historian.
"How worthy it is when a son hearkens to his father! If the son of a man receives, what his father says, none of his projects will miscarry". [How wondrous to simply be able to work under the total ASSUMPTION that a father will only teach his son that which is within the laws of God, Nature AND Land.]
"Instruct as thy son one who hearkens, who shall be successful in the opinion of the princes, who directs his mouth according to that which is said to him.... How many mishaps befall him who hearkens not"!
"The wise man rises early to establish himself, but the fool is in trouble. As for the fool who hearkens not there is none who has done anything for him. He regards wisdom as ignorance, and what is profitable as useless".
"A son who hearkens....reaches old age, he attains reverence. He speaks likewise to his own children, renewing the instruction of his father.... He speaks with his children, then they speak to their children".
Ptahhotep (yes, you will recognize this, Ptaah, of Meier's contact) wrote down many of these maxims and teachings during the 27th century, B.C., even as to right conduct in the presence of older people, or when at dinner with one's elders. Even these were three or four thousand years old when he wrote them down. We quote one of these teachings to a young man who was about to dine with an elder. The following is also quoted from James Henry:
"Take when he gives to thee what he puts before thee, but do not look at what is before him. Look at what is before thee, and bombard him not with many glances. Turn thy faces downward until he adresses thee, and speak only when he has addressed thee. Laugh when he laughs, so shalt thou be very agreeable to his heart and what thou doest will be very pleasant to the heart. It is very important on any occasion not to be over-communicative and noticeably aggressive conduct or bearing is to be avoided".
"If your chief is one who was formerly of very humble station, have no knowledge of his former low estate, . . . be respectful towards him because of what he has achieved; for substance cometh not of itself".
"Never repeat injudicious words uttered in heat by some one else. Be silent, of it (silence) is better than teftef-flowers".
"It is a craftsman who speaks in council and speech is more difficult than any craft".
"Let the mind be deep and thy speech scanty . . . Let thy mind be steadfast as long as thou speakest. May the princes who shall hear it say, "How seemly is that which comes out of his mouth"!
"If thou hast become great after thou wert little, and has gained possessions after thou wert formerly in want. . . .be not unmindful of how it was with thee before. Be not boastful of thy wealth, which has come to thee as a gift of the god. Thou art not greater than another like thee to whom the same has happened. Moreover the career of a civil servant is hazardous, therefore, beware of the days that may come hereafter".
"It is well to make large investments in good will. Therefore satisfy thy intimate associates with that which has come to thee, which comes to one whom the god (that is the king) favours. . . . There is none who knows his (future) fortune when he thinks of tomorrow. When something happens in (royal) favour, it is the intimate associates who (still) say 'Welcome'! But, as we shall see, when thy fortunes are evil, thy virtue shall be above thy friends".
"A man should give attention to the character of his friends. If thou searchest the character of a friend, ask no questions, (but) approach him and deal with him when he is alone. . . . Disclose his heart in conversation. If that which he has seen comes forth from him, (or) he do aught that makes thee ashamed for him, . . . do not answer".
"If thou art a successful man establish thy household. Love thy wife in the house as is fitting. . . Fill her body, clothe her back. No luxury is too god for her. . . . Make her heart glad as long as thou livest. She is a profitable field for her lord."
Let us take note herein that Mohammed made this same statement thirty-five hundred years later:
"Be not avaricious in a division, nor greedy (even) for thy (own) goods. Be not avaricious towards thy own kin. Greater is the appeal of the gentle than of the strong. Impoverished is he who overreaches his kin; he is lacking in effective speech. A little for which one practices guile engenders enmity even in the cool tempered. Avarice is the greatest enemy of wholesome family relationships. If thou desirest that thy conduct be worthy, withhold thee from all evil, and beware of avarice. It is an ill and incurable desease, wherein is no intimate association. It makes bitter the sweet friend, it alienates the intimate friend from his lord, it estranges fathers and mothers and the mother's brothers, it sunders wife and husband. It is a bundle of evil things, it is a bundle of all unworthiness. . . . There is no tomb for the avaricious."
Once these early Egyptian teachings ennobled works and the worker. One happy maxim which we print here is strongly indicative of this. It follows:
"Happy are the bearers of the palanquin! It is pleasanter (for them) when it is occupied, than when it is empty. "
[Now I know this is unnecessary for most of you but for the uninformed youngster: "Palanquin": a conveyance formerly used in eastern Asia esp. for one person that consists of an enclosed litter borne on the shoulders of men by means of a pole.]
"Attain character . . . make righteousness flourish and thy children shall live. Precious to a man is the virtue of his son, and good character is a thing remembered".
"A wise man is recognized by that which he knows. His heart is the balance for his tongue, his lips are correct when he speaks, and his eyes in seeing; his ears together hear what is profitable for his son, who does righteousness and is free from living".
"Established is the man whose standard is righteousness, who walked according to its way".
Ah, for you earth-bound modern man: this appeared again two thousand years later in its essence in the Old Testament.
All that has been written regarding that wondrous early civilization has been for the purpose of deeply accentuating the fact that the first men within whom God-Consciousness resulted from the ability of man to hear those silent whisperings within his Soul fully realized that a brotherly existence--which means the ability of men to live together in unity--was possible only by cooperation and MUTUAL SERVICE. There was also personified, one of the most important Commandments: Honor thy father and thy mother .... Thousands of years were spent in learning how to thus live. Age after age passed, perhaps for as long as six thousand years, before the great triumph occurred which gave you that marvelous pre-Pyramid Age of purely cooperative communal Age of Justice, Character and Righteousness.
During all of this period, the concept of God was the sun. He was known as The Great God, Lord of the Sky. He not only gave all that was GOOD to the people of earth, but ruled them--most justly. Those who refused to work with "the great God who watcheth over every action of every man" punished themselves by their own hands. Thus it was made clear that every man could have an abundance of GOOD given to him, but he must give service which is GOOD else he would deny for himself that GOOD which he might have had. The entire underlying structure of this civilization, which had its highest peak between the years 4,500 B.C. and 2,500 B.C., was the principle that one must do that which would make him to be loved. The one word--MAAT--covered that entire principle. In that one word was the entire connotation of the meaning which is conveyed in the words "truth", "beauty", "righteousness", "character", and "justice".
Very seldom, indeed, did the sons and daughters of men dare to, or care to, violate the teachings of their revered fathers, but when one flagrantly disobeyed, thus disgracing his family, the father said to him, "Thou art not of my blood", and condemned him to walk his lonely way among men who refused to greet him or befriend him. The way of such a one was so terrible that delinquency beyond a forgivable limit was very rare indeed. Such a delinquent would have no place to go, no institution to take him in,for there were no such institutions as with which your country abounds to take care of those who break every law of life and thus saddle the cost of it upon their neighbors.
You who await the wondrous ancient "ORAL TEACHINGS" of Little Crow--Eagle of the Great Spirit--what do you expect his lessons to be? I think you might reread a bit of the preceding and all that is coming forth--you see truth does not vary in concept--not one iota! In fact, WHO DO YOU THINK THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS TO BE? YOU HAD BETTER GO LOOK AT SOME HISTORICAL PAINTINGS IN ADDITION TO YOUR RESEARCH READING.
Your civilization prides itself upon its charitable institutions, its insane asylums, its maternity homes for delinquent young girls, its clinics for venereal diseases, its prisons and other institutions which are supported by the normal people of the world for taking care of the abnormal ones. It would be impossible in these days to have it otherwise, but it still remains a fact that if those who defy righteous living were made to walk unrecognized toward a lonely horizon, there would be less departure from righteous living.
In closing this lesson, try to imagine how much better your civilization would be if the parents of your children emulated the practice of the parents of the pre-Pyramid Age and gave of their wisdom and character to their children as regularly as they gave them food. The tragedy of such a thought lies in the fact that a very few of the parents of today have that character to give, for they, in their youths, were not given wisdom from their fathers.
It must be realized that this process of slow degeneration, because of the lessening desire of parents to give character to their children, has been going on for over five thousand years. It has kept pace, in reverse ratio, with the increase in desire for material possessions, material power and individualism which has slowly but surely created a MIGHT-OVER-RIGHT race of humans whose basic principle of life is to TAKE rather than to GIVE.
Once again we say that the human race cannot possibly survive a continuance of this principle. A notable example of its workings is that of the Empire Builders who sought wealth, prosperity and power by taking, and found themselves impoverished--even unto having to ration their scanty food.
I again say to you, therefore, that the only way for the human race to survive is to rebuild character and righteousness into it, and inculcate into each man a desire to give service to his fellow man in order that his fellow man will give equal service to him.
It may well be that mankind must be made to suffer more than it has ever suffered before in order for it to finally sink in despair, as the wounded boy in the trench sank in despair and cried out for help unto God. We hope that such a day may not have to come--but what do you think??? The signs of the times point strongly toward the necessity of it. Just as long as every man has a comfortable bed to sleep in and a luxurious car to take him to pleasant places, and high wages to make that possible, he pays little heed to such signs of the times as 14-year-old pregnant girl members of local junior high school sex clubs wherein morals are not argued, only the advent of abortion and birth control and "safe" (there is none) sex! Or of the hundreds of other flagrant evidences of a rapidly deteriorating social order in which crime, treason, intrigue, bribery and the continued threat of man-made war forever hangs over this "don't care" "playboy" world of ever cheapening and violent entertainment.
You can see your culture dying a rapid death right before your eyes. Your great musicians must first be clowns in order to be acceptable for audience. A popular sexy crooner can draw ten times larger audiences than a Caruso and a five piece hard metal rock bank will garner thousands while a symphony will draw the few. Topping this is the known fact that a really good painter or sculptor would starve if he aimed at producing masterful work, for great art and great artists have no place in your world of today--except to "copy" for resale the "masters" paintings to fool the purchaser. Dignity has gone out of art as it also has gone out of the highest courts of justice in the land.
It is useless to say, "What are you going to do about it?" The only thing we can say is, "'What am I GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?"
YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
You must become informed of that which is "wrong" and then you must become filled with the desire to bring character back into the world by becoming one of the seeds of character which will spread from you gradually into the whole world. The more you realize this and become a working member of this Science of Man movement for the building of character into the world, the more hope will come into the world for the ultimate "saving" of the human race from its now threatened downfall.
Can you accomplish this? Of Course!! All you have to ponder is the accomplishment of the ONE--YOU! Furthermore dear ones, if you accomplish it with YOU--YOU HAVE THEN PURCHASED YOUR TICKET, HAVE YOU NOT? SO BE IT!
Isn't this convincing evidence that character and destiny are like cause and effect? Destiny becomes what character IS. Character is the rudder in the sea of life, but destiny is the direction within the sea of life. Smooth sailing is ahead for one who desires smooth sailing, but if one prefers the collision with the rocks he mayhave that also--but it is of his own choosing. Both are his. Remember that universal love is limitless, and you ARE the universe.
Every man who has ever become great became so only because he desired to, planned to, and made the effort to become so. There are no accidentally great men. All great men build themselves in their own image. That which they become, they first desired to become.They thought out, and planned the steps upward to their own high mountain-top. The great difference between all people lies not in their abilities but in the intensity of desire to express their abilities.
It must be remembered that desire of Mind is the sole source of universal energy. The greater the intensity of desire in the mind of any man, the greater power he has to express his ability.
GOD WILL WORK WITH YOU BUT NOT FOR YOU! Every man determines his own destiny by that which he thinks and does every moment of his life. You can become what you want to be only through your thoughts and actions, but the measure of your desire must be great in order for you to become great. Hitch your wagon to a star and fasten its bolts with deep desire to manifest love and, behold, its wings will carry you to those heights.
No one who has ever reached those heights has done so by himself alone. He who loves is aware of Love working with him. God is Love. Love is the foundation of the universe. He who deeply loves is deeply humble and giving. The greatest men in the world are those who are most humble. An arrogant man is one who asserts his personal ego, while a humble man is one who suppresses it and is, therefore, without arrogance. The quality of humility is that which gives to one the gentleness and tenderness of spiritual strength. When the human individual changes his attitude to total GIVING--THE WAY WILL HAVE BEEN WON!
Let us leave this now for there is a meeting at which you are needed. We will take up the element of "death" of "character" when we sit to the keyboard again.
Do not lose faith or hope as we outlay that which is Truth for it is only the original necessary step to accomplishing transmutation into Glory. You must define the symptoms of the disease, diagnose the disease and THEN AND ONLY THEN--CAN YOU SEEK THE CURE!
You ones are totally and absolutely beloved of me and my brethren come forth to serve WITH you. You are indeed blessed among men, though you may not even know of it. The journey begins with the first step and the accomplishment of change begins with the one and ends with the ONE! I HOLD TIGHTLY AND UNFLINCHING ONTO THE HAND OF MY TEACHER AND GUIDE--THEREFORE, IF YOU TAKE MY HAND WE ARE ASSURED THE PROPER PATHWAY. SALU.

THUR., AUGUST 8, 1991 9:59 A.M. YEAR 4, DAY 357
THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1991
Germain present in the Truth of that which I AM and so be you.
Hold to the knowing and be reminded that the Scriptures, in which so many of you place your trust, and in those books which give of the great teachings of the great Masters, you will find the following: "Decree a thing and it shall be done unto you"; "Call unto Me and I will answer you".Remember that the beloved Christos prefaced everything that He said and did in the World by the Words "I AM". "I AM the Resurrection and the LIFE". "I AM the Open Door which no man can shut"--and believe me, friends and fellow students, that one statement in itself is sufficient to set every human being on the face of this Earth FREE; for this Christos meant exactly what He said, and He knew what was in the Power of those WORDS when He said, "I AM THE OPEN DOOR WHICH NO MAN CAN SHUT". You note that I use the term "Christos" for you cannot dare to qualify that Presence by your puny labels--this energy is infinite and is the very breathing out and again, in, of the Great Source Himself.
That goes throughout Life and, ever since He spoke those Words two thousand years past, it has been vibrating through the atmosphere of Earth. Mankind will come to understand this Mighty Power that He gave forth. Because the preachers of the World--in order to hold the power to themselves--convey to mankind the idea that Jesus was a very Special Being, and that no one could attain the Goal because He was such a Special Being--that is the very thing that has deprived mankind throughout the centuries--even in the face of He, Himself, stating bluntly that what He could do and be--so be ye!
Therefore, I say to you today, the Christ is a PRINCIPLE, a"state of being". Immanuel "Jesus" was but a man, and He became the fullness and the understanding of His "Mighty I AM Presence"--became the Christ representative of the World in man presentations and visitations by different labels unto mankind--because He became the full ACTIVITY, POWER, and PRINCIPLE of the CHRIST, which every man in the world can become.
Everything that that being was, everything every Cosmic Being is, one day you shall be, you shall attain by the understanding and exact KNOWLEDGE. Therefore, let no one turn you aside from this great opportunity that is yours. I know because I have gone through every process in Life, from its greatest limitations to the FREEDOM which I experience and have had for a very long time.
In bringing this forth and having the response which allows progression, we shall go on and on until everyone has come to have access to knowing their "Mighty presence", their Source of Life--let us say, "God Individualized". Then mankind will enter into the great Freedom which every human being, in the Heart, knows is true.
Those who are attaining today have the proof of it. The Messengers have the proof of it. Everyone can have it who wants to but if mankind allows human suggestions, human falsehoods, to turn them aside, then the fault is their own. Then I cannot help them, and you can be sure I am not going to go around and hunt you up and get you by the hair to hold you in the comprehension. But I do offer you, through the greatest Love that ever poured forth into mankind, that freedom of Life, that true understanding of Life which is absolutely mechanical in its precision or action in, to, and through you. You are NOT dealing with uncertainties. You can apply this, and there is no proof in this world that amounts to anything except that which you prove to yourself
ETHICAL BASIS OF CHARACTER AND ITS
GRADUAL DEATH
We will move ahead, from the prior chapter, about two thousand years, to some five hundred years before Immanuel when Confucius was born. Confucius and Laotzu were the two outstanding Illuminates of China. I do not like to lessen the honor unto great messengers by skimming along but there are tributes to them in other writings and their honor is not my purpose in these PLEIADEAN CONNECTIONS. Illuminates ALWAYS teach the same things in practically the same words--differing only to the tonal sounds of pronunciation and language symbolic differings. Illuminates come invariably into the world when they are most needed to uplift a falling civilization with a Message of Love given in words which always have an ethical basis in practice and never a doctrinal or phenomena basis.
Why, might you ask, would you not simply have another Illuminate to personally spread the WORD? Because we come not just to illumine, but to prepare for a major change and event--the bringing of the spiritual Messengers into integration with you that this transition will be in perfection. We are preparers of the way and the laying down of TRUTH through which man can again find his divine direction. You need no more "people" to distract you in following "them" about and hanging on their own physical presence as representative of self responsibility. No, this time there will be the TRUTH brought forth in this manner so that there are NO tendencies to follow a MAN instead of God.
Know, for instance, that hate mail and critical material blasted against the scribe, only hurts the superficial senses of the person who types--it touches in no manner the purpose nor distracts from the service one iota. The assaults are taken in compassion by we who do the authoring for we realize that the one in angry aggression is totally without KNOWLEDGE and will only become more foolish as the thrust is continued. Remember--GOD ALLOWS! and THE LAW IS INFINITE AND ALWAYS IS!
It must be fully realized that the human race had been gradually falling away from ethical practices, which are the basis of character and righteousness, because of the slow advent of materialism, avarice, greed and individualism which crept into human thinking when desire for possessions and personal power crept into the first unified social order of history.
Long before Confucius was born, Babylon had become materialized into a commercial and political state where individual power grew to its maximum. Naturally, sensual pleasure and greed gradually drowned the high ideals it began with, as Egyptian culture and character crept northward into the Euphrates country. You see, you are tinkering around in the Middle East in the very places wherein the end will come for civilization if left to deteriorate as is now on schedule. Small wars for power gradually grew, back then, into larger wars and wise men ceased to be honored, as war heroes took their place in public favor.
The same pattern followed into Palestine. Hebrew tribal wars followed the example of Babylon and the northern countries around the Mediterranean Sea where the worst elements of the decaying Egyptian, Babylonian, Hebrew and Persian civilizations were infiltrating.
We must realize, therefore, that Confucius, Laotzu, Buddha, Krishna, "Jesus" and Mohammed were not born into an ascendant civilization. Their civilization had long been decadent and their Messengership to man was in the nature of being Saviours of a decadent race instead of being new teachers of an ascending one. Your ancient civilization began with the barbarity recorded in the Old Testament. You excuse it, somehow, because it was "ancient". Blood-sacrifice, bloodshed in the arenas and inhuman conduct everywhere exemplified a fallen race of men--in fact, I think you might well call it "human conduct" for "inhuman" is not indicative of the action. You find this type of evil ONLY IN THE HUMAN SPECIES.
These men were once noble and of impeccable character, a race where crime was not only unknown but not understood, for no man desired to act in such a manner as to make himself unloved to such an extent that he would be compelled to walk away into the horizon and disappear from his kind.
If that is fully understood, it will better explain the nobility of such a man as Confucius who lived among utterly licentious men and retained his nobility of Mind and cleanliness of body as well as the virtues he taught until his dying day.
The virtues he taught were WISDOM--RECTITUDE--DECORUM--SINCERITY and KINDNESS. These were the qualities which he listed as the basis of character and right action.
If you wish to have a rather short and "objective" view of Confucius I suggest you get a little historical booklet called SOCRATES, BUDDHA, CONFUCIUS, JESUS, by Karl Jaspers. It is quite small but gives quite objective outlay of information.
Confucius differed very materially in one respect with the teachings of Laotzu and Jesus. The latter two taught what Confucius regarded as idealism and altruism which were not true to Nature. To "return good for evil" and to "turn the other cheek" was not the way Nature worked. He taught that wathever a man gave out from himself, Nature inexorably gave BACK TO HIM IN KIND, for that is really the law. The early Egyptians taught that way. They taught that any man who did not measure up to the standards of character and righteousness which are necessary for a cohesive civilization and, therefore, became a drag-anchor upon the whole of society as well as a disgrace to his family was unfit to be a member of the whole human family and was commanded to walk away toward an endless horizon.
The father of such a man would coldly say: "He is not born of me, for I am human and could not beget an inhuman".
Confucius believed that a society which tolerated wickedness would have to pay for the man's misdeeds, whereas the man himself should be obliged to pay for his own misdeeds by being punished for them, even to being obliterated from the human society which he despoiled.
History has proved that to be the case, for it costs the good people of every country billions of dollars yearly as the price of misdeeds perpetrated by despoilers of society. You, of today, even cultivate crime by "turning the other cheek" and tolerate the intolerable. So, wasn't that just a dandy thing to have the Master Teacher say? Do you really think this is what a Master Teacher who KNOWS THE LAW--would SAY? Or do you think, maybe and perhaps, there might have been a little rearrangement of the intent to suit the power-brokers? You pay for thousands of prisons and cannot even keep up with the need (besides, the REAL criminals are outside the prisons sending the non-criminal to be locked away). You pay for thousands of insane asylums, police forces, houses of correction and other institutions which you would not have to pay for if you compelled characterless despoilers to walk out to an endless horizon of loneliness. Your laws lean backward toward liberating the criminal to perpetrate more crimes rather than making him reap the harvest of his sowing--you even LAUGH at that which the politicians DO as if it matters not to you and these sleaze-balls CONTROL YOUR VERY EXISTENCE!
Confucious held that Nature would let a creature die if that creature refused to perform the work necessary for his own survival, and man should do likewise. Oh, Germain is a beast? No, Germain is most practical--if a man is hungry enough he will tend of it. Charity is mandatory when, and only when, a man CANNOT temporarily tend of self. If he is unable to walk--he can work with his hands or brain. Welfare and Charity are NOT THE SAME! Man should work for his own survival, otherwise the workers of an organized society would find themselves working for the drones, and their happiness would be destroyed by those who did not fit into the rhythms which are necessary for a unitary, cooperative civilization. What exactly, DO THE POLITICIANS DO AS WORK--FOR YOU, THEIR "MASTERS"--REMEMBER, THEY ARE PUBLIC SERVANTS! DOES NOT YOUR "MIDDLE-CLASS" OF WORKERS SUPPLY EVERYTHING FOR THE ELITE AND THE WELFARE RECEIVERS? HOW LONG BEFORE THE MIDDLE-CLASS IS DEAD? PERHAPS IT IS ALREADY DEAD, DEAD, DEAD???
"If", argued Confucius, "I return good for evil, what have I left to return for good"?
Confucius first gave the Golden Rule to the world in these words:
"What you do not like when done to yourself, do not do unto others "!!!!
All of his teachings strongly reflect the early Egyptian teachings in respect to actions, for he continually stresses the fact that actions which cause you to be loved are right actions, and those which cause you to be unloved are wrong actions.
It has been written of Confucius:
"It was the teaching of this sage that man should at all times exert the strictest self-control, and he was never tired of preaching this to his disciples".
"The moral man conforms himself to his life circumstances; he does not desire anything outside of his position. Finding himself in a position of wealth and honor, he lives as becomes one, living in wealth and honor".
"Finding himself in circumstances of danger and difficulty, he acts according to what is required of a man under such circumstances".
"In a word, the moral man can find himself in no situation in life in which he is not master of himself ".
"In a high position, he does not domineer over his subordinates. In a subordinate position he does not court the favor of his superiors".
"He puts in order his own personal conduct and seeks nothing from others; hence he has no complaint to make. He complains not against God nor rails against man".
"Thus it is that the moral man lives outthe even tenor of his life calmly waiting for the appointment of God, whereas the vulgar person takes to dangerous courses, expecting the uncertain chances of luck".

Dharma, in keeping to my commitment to Hatonn to allow you to leave within the half-hour, I will take up with some maxims of Confucius when we sit again. I thank you for attending my needs in such a rushed schedule. Know, dear ones, who give so much of your precious time unto our work--the rewards are indeed great though the load seems heavy. Peace be unto you, precious "MAN OF LIGHT". This is inclusive of ALL, not intended in the singular for--though it seems all uphill at this moment of transition--God shall prevail in total circumvention. Salu.
