There is always the sifting of hearts as we move up the mountain.

   “When we go to the universities what we’re trying to do is highlight the risk to them without discouraging them from welcoming the researchers and students from a country like China,” John Demers, the Justice Department’s top national security official, said in an interview….

  “we look at China as our greatest threat from an intelligence perspective, and they succeeded significantly in the last decade from stealing our best and brightest technology,” said William Evanina, the U.S. government’s chief counterintelligence official.

  Richard Wood, the then-interim provost at the University of New Mexico, conveyed ambivalence in an email to colleagues last year.  He wrote that he took seriously the national security concerns the FBI identified in briefings, but also remained “deeply committed to traditional academic norms regarding the free exchange of scientific knowledge wherever appropriate--a tradition that has been the basis of international scientific progress for several centuries.”…

  an FBI pamphlet warns that China does “not play by the same rules of academic integrity” as American institutions observe.  The document titled “China:  The Risk to Academia" says Beijing is using “non-traditional collectors” like post-doctoral researchers to collect intelligence and that programs intended to promote international collaboration are being exploited.     https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/fbi-china-american-universities-tech/2019/10/06/id/935833/

  For We have understood that deep within the soul of even the spiritual devotee there is fear--a fear that can be activated by too much knowledge and a fear that breeds fanaticism and hatred when fanned by the fires of such as those who conceived of a super-race and in that conception sought to exterminate all else.

  Why, mere fragments of this understanding have caused revolutions and bloodbaths.  And therefore We looked to these peculiar Messengers and to their endowment of the Holy Spirit to hold steady by a flame of love your very own hearts….

  There is always the sifting of hearts as we move up the mountain.  It is the age-old story of Moses and whoever wears the mantle.  And therefore where the shoulders are that hold the mantle there will be the “cooking out”, as you say, by a fervent heat of those momentums of the old stiff-necked generation and the rebellious ones….And souls know it when they look into Our eye that so often gazes through the mild eye of the Mother….

With all of the ingredients of individualism

And freewill and the free-market system

And yet the giving in love,

The giving in love to that work of the ages

And the larger purpose

Not of the state, not of the commune

But of an organic whole--

Individuals who sense themselves a part 

Of every living thing and soul,

Those who have the fortitude to retain identity in God

While giving all of self to the cause of life,

And that lived more abundantly.

  He who sets his mind to lose himself in Christ must hang on to the God-Star and therefore in Christ reveal a new face more noble than the last, an image in which can be seen clearly the chiseled virtue of the Fates.  I AM diminishing your awareness of the burdened self and the struggle and strife….The use of money itself is scarcely understood, or precious metals or elements yet to be defined.  How can there be the sustainment of a golden-age culture unless problems as elemental as these are solved?  And yet the very economy in which you live has all of you upon a treadmill to keep on and keep on for daily bread and a roof over your head.…

  Let every one of you be able to come to me and pass my test on this Constitution of this land, the United States of America. These laws are divine laws, they come from the schools of the Brotherhood.  They are enshrined for your freedom….

  But those who come to the table must have more going for them than the mere discipline of intellect. For intellects fail, philosophies fail, systems fail and even computers--yes, they fail.  But that which does not fail is the flame that burns on and the mind that is the mind of Christ in you….

  These laws of flow and of the t’ai chi, the exercises of the chakras, the simple teachings you have been given--they are not so simple, for they are the inner components for the sharpening of the chakras . We have been now for many years preparing your chakras so that you could receive in your respective fields the divine inspiration that might bring forth on earth the missing link--yes, the missing link in all of those disciplines necessary to carrying on civilization in a higher form….Now in deciding what must be done one by one let us take those things that are essential and most important.  Let us begin at the beginning.  Let us build the school, the Motherhouse, the dormitories and offices whereby We through you may conduct Our affairs here….I promise you this:  that every master will come to teach you how to fulfill the unfulfilled dream of his heart.  Let us start.
