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".
[Thank you, Francis Trevelyan Miller]
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.
