People speak about an inherited theocratic power—the very construction is absurd.

  Vishtaspa was an honest, simple monarch but was surrounded by the Karpans, a group of self-seeking, manipulative priests.…There is no prophet who ever knows any spirit of compromise.  I will tell you why.  The prophet of God embodies the Mighty I AM Presence. He is not the mediator; he is the one who embodies God as Law and Lawgiver.

200.  Community/cooperation is the sole rational means of human living together. Solitude is the solution of the problem of life outside community.  All intermediate manifestations are different steps of compromise and are doomed to dissolution. People speak about an inherited theocratic power—the very construction is absurd. The words heritability and Theos are incompatible.  And who will define the degree Theos?  Only consciousness of cooperation/community affirms evolution of the biological process.   Conscious community excludes two enemies of society—precisely inequality and heirdom.  And inequality leads to tyranny.  Heirdom is a compromise, and it brings in corruption of the foundations.  Needed is clarity of construction, a dislike of conventionalities and faith in children as a symbol of the progress of mankind. 202.  Often the community is accused of doing violence to  freedom of individuality.  This charge is applicable to any compromise state but not to the community.  In a conscious community there is a place for every labor.  Each one may select his task at will, for every labor is sharpened by new attainments.  There is not the tedium of mechanical performance, for the worker is at the same time an experimenter. He understands the significance of the problem of introducing perfectionment of work without disturbing the general complex of rhythm.     -M:  Community 1926 ………………………................................……. 279.  There is no evil to equal the offense of faint-heartedness.  In it is hidden treachery, in it is concealed a fraudulent magnanimity, in it is secreted a ruinous halfwayness; its master is Satan; its motive power is selfhood; its actions include construction with one hand and destruction with the other; its face displays aspiration but its reality manifests egoism; its domain is a manifestation of selfhood; its affirmation is selfhood; its evidence is compromise, and each of its manifestations for good is a self-affirmation and justification of obvious destruction.  The pledge of selfhood lies in the foundation of faint-heartedness.   412.  If it could be made clear to the human mind how harmful are halfway measures and compromises, the process of construction would proceed differently.  But humanity is ailing with these horrible ulcers and We are obliged to exhude bloody sweat in corrective measures.    (by H. Schmiechen, 1884) -M:  Fiery World 1935

  Now wouldn’t you like to know how to solve the problems of this hour without compromise?   Would not the leaders of every nation like to know how to go straight to the heart of freedom direct as the arrow of the dove of freedom?   As the arrow soars, as the dove flies so let the homeward calling unto souls be answered by direct reaching out and plucking of mercy’s flower; and mercy’s flower within your heart must produce the miracle manifestations of freedom to all.

  Well I say, the trouble with the world is this–they look upon the conditions that defy solution and they forget the lost lesson, a lesson learned so long ago upon our mother’s knee–the lesson that in order to take dominion over the individual problem it is necessary first to accelerate a spiral of mercy’s flame, to rise a notch in that spiral higher, higher than the problem.  You do not look at a problem from beneath or eye to eye, but you must look down upon the problem as the birds that fly, as the Sun that smiles
