To All Who Would Guard the Chalice of the Heart

To All Who Would Guard the Chalice of the Heart:
  The hypocrisy of the present era of Earth’s evolution is a pain to many hearts, for it is a clear indication to those who can discern the face of life that man is in no way linked with the crowning chain of cosmic purpose.  His energies go down the drain and are swallowed up as in a giant hole as his attention pursues a senseless series of moving pictures, accelerating the trend of degradation.
  How is it that the wise men of the nations seem unable to discern the effect of eye-pictures upon their children and themselves?   Do they not perceive in the misuse of the sacred fire through crude and unnecessary displays of sex and the infiltration of horror, murder and fear in advertising and entertainment that men are lowering the consciousness of the entire world?   Do they not have eyes to see that some men are making merchandise of them?   Yet these same men who control the theater and motion picture industry could produce uplifting dramas that would exalt noble purpose and define magnificence of character rather than portray doubt, distrust, suspicion, fear and the unwholesome conditions that have ever been apparent since mankind’s departure from the throne of grace.
  As the angels gaze upon the faces of little children who should be taught to pray and commune with the great silent invisible world of the Spirit during those formative years when their tiny minds are budding, as they witness the most awful formulations that will produce so much violence and hatred in their later lives,  They in their beautiful wisdom ask themselves the question:  “Why is it that humanity will not acknowledge that they are sowing the wind and will one day reap the whirlwind?”…
  When I appeared at Fátima I gave stern warning of impending conditions that would threaten the peace of the world and seek to destroy the spiritual Church that is the body of Christ.  Cruel men, dark tyrants in high places have invaded every area of civilization; and yet the attention of the people is so easily dissipated as the quotient of each one’s energy pattern is engaged in fruitless endeavors.  Then how easily criticism becomes a weapon.
  Those whose hearts, heads and hands are offered in service to the spiritual hierarchy are often misunderstood and deliberately attacked by those who should know better.  Whereas the blessed children of men do not know their best friends, either ascended or unascended, those who do are also found among their condemners, denying the Christ ere the cock crows thrice.   It is not easy in this darkening hour for men and women who stand up for Our cause.  Yet light must banish darkness and men must never lose heart or hope.
  And so I say, renew yourself daily in the holy fountain. Turn your backs upon the dark and evil of the past.  Long to see yourselves and others free in the divine plan fulfilled.  So shall the brave light of a cosmic mother’s heart be instilled in many, that the hand that rocks the cradle may be the hand that rules the world through the instilling of love and virtue and the guarding of the mind of the young from those destroyers whose hearts are hardened in self-love, calloused by thousands of inequities and stinging degradations.     Devotedly I remain your cosmic Mother,

foreign governments and corporations are content to pretend it isn't happening.

5-6-19    It has been two years since the internment camps first came to light internationally, and a series of reports from Xinjiang have made vivid the scale of the abuses.  Yet foreign governments and corporations are content to pretend it isn't happening.
  "If right now just about any other country in the world was found to be detaining over 1 million Muslims of a certain ethnicity, you can bet we’d be seeing an international outcry," says Sophie Richardson, china director for Human Rights Watch.  https://www.axios.com/uighur-muslim-detention-camps-xinjiang-china-7d682095-4dcc-4b7b-8368-09e73ae7178a.html

     There are many pretexts for internment, including any kind of overseas connection, such as a relative living outside of China or a short visit to another country, or even the slightest standing as a public figure sharing the Uyghur cultural or scientific experience.  The Uyghur Human Rights Project recently documented nearly 400 Uyghur intellectuals interned, disappeared or imprisoned.  https://theglobepost.com/2019/05/14/china-uyghurs-ramadan/

5-20-19   "Tehran has a history of targeting civilian vessels transiting the Gulf and threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz, through which approximately one fifth of the world's seaborne oil passes," Foundation for Defense of Democracies stated in a policy briefing issued by veteran military intelligence experts Andrew Gabel and Bradley Bowman.  "During the last two years of the Iran-Iraq War, Iran conducted 143 attacks against shipping in the Gulf.  Last month Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN) Commander Rear Admiral Alireza Tangsiri threatened to close the strait."
Iran has a history of using its terror proxies to conduct attacks in order to shield the regime from responsibility and avoid sparking a large-scale war that would surely end in the Islamic Republic's destruction.   https://freebeacon.com/national-security/u-s-intel-warns-iran-plotting-tactical-surprise-attacks-in-gulf/

5-21-19    “Victims are prostituted for as little as 30 Chinese yuan [US$4.30], sold as wives for just 1,000 yuan and trafficked into cybersex dens for exploitation by a global online audience,” said Yoon Hee-soon, the report’s author.  “Many are sold more than once and are forced into at least one form of sexual slavery within a year of leaving their homeland.”
  An estimated 60 percent of North Korean girls and women in China are trafficked into the sex trade, according to the report, which was to be released at an event at Britain’s parliament later in the day.  Nearly half are pressed into prostitution, about a third sold into marriage and most others pushed into cybersex, researchers said.Trafficking survivors said prostitutes in Shanghai were branded with tattoos such as lions and butterflies to show ownership and deter abductions by rivals.
 Interviewees told of women dying from sexually transmitted diseases and abuse.Girls and women enslaved in cybersex dens are usually aged between 12 and 29 but sometimes younger, the report said.  They are forced to perform sex acts or sexually assaulted in front of webcams.  A live-stream featuring a young girl can cost US$110, researchers said, adding that many subscribers appeared to be South Korean. http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/world/archives/2019/05/21/2003715531

  Solmaz said bees are directly related to food safety, sustainable agriculture and biodiversity.  "According to a research carried out by Science And Policy For People And Nature (IPBES) in 2016, food production by means of pollination and insemination costs around $235-$577 billion annually," he noted.  https://www.dailysabah.com/business/2019/05/20/turkey-one-of-worlds-few-self-sufficient-beekeepers-official

  Activists said Montes brought food, medicine, and other supplies to student protesters. After his arrest and imprisonment, young fellow prisoners began calling him “pastor” and “father” because of his age and his leadership at religious gatherings.   Human rights activists who knew Montes said he claimed to have witnessed a murder by government agents and was prepared to testify against them.
  An attorney who represents Nicaraguan political prisoners said over the weekend there is “proof” Montes was shot in the back by prison guards.  The official story is that he was among several prisoners who rushed the guards and tried to take their guns during a visit to the facility by the International Red Cross.   https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2019/05/20/u-s-navy-veteran-killed-nicaragua-prison-riot/

30th anniversary of the Tianamen Incident next week

Taipei, May 18 (CNA)   Pro-democracy advocates and activists marked the 30th anniversary of the Tianamen Incident at an international conference in Taipei Saturday, urging the world not to forget the bloody crackdown and keep on working toward the sustainable growth of democracy around the world.
  Larry Diamond, a professor of sociology and political science at Stanford University and a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, said at the conference that China has tried to systematically erase the world's memories of the student-led pro-democracy uprising that took place on Beijing's Tiananmen Square in 1989.
To serve that end China has been using a united front strategy and penetration schemes to purchase media and lobby politicians as part of efforts to wreck democratic systems around the world, according to Diamond.
 
  "We hope that the world's memories (of the Tiananmen Incident) can be refreshed and rebuilt through this conference.  Many who participated in the protests are still upholding their ideals and moving forward," Wang Dan (shown) (王丹), one of the student leaders in the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests who is now living in exile in the United States, said.   http://focustaiwan.tw/news/aipl/201905180013.aspx

Inexperienced community members have a considerable amount of suspiciousness and conceit

23.  You already know that capital deprived of goal-fitness is only a millstone about the neck.  And as a manifestation of infection forms spiritual and bodily ulcers likewise does a manifestation of the lunacy of covetousness bring harm to the spirit and body.
127.  Inexperienced community members have a considerable amount of suspiciousness and conceit, but a community is regarded by Us as an accepted form of life.  And We can speak about it with all the lucidity of long experience.  We are not frightened by any mental confusion.  We have seen enough cosmic refuse and We are not disposed to be a part of it.
172.  Let consciousness illumine the cellar of thinking, and ludicrous disputes will turn into rational discussions, of advantage and of joy.
270.  It is necessary to strengthen each other….Finely-tuned energy itself, inherent in every man, is in need of hygiene.  One need not assume in this anything supernatural; the new life will cognize substance in all infinitude. Therefore it is necessary to unite, affirming communal life on a world basis with lucidity and serenity.      -M:  Community 1926
……………………………………….………………………
52.  Co-worker, pretend not to luck, for fiery energies are subtle, and crude egotism does not contain the fires.  Thus let us remember about humility when we wish to be truly successful.      -M:  Fiery World 1935
…………………………….……………………….
69.  Prayer has no kinship with violence nor constraint.  The first prayer of the child should not be ridiculed or reproved.  A boy once prayed "O Lord, we are ready to help Thee."  A passer-by was indignant and called the child presumptuous, and in this way the first feeling of unselfishness was defamed.  A little girl prayed about her mother and her cow, and her prayer was ridiculed.       
 -M:  Aum 1936
……………………….……………………….
392.  It is not fitting for man to doom himself to calamities.  Long-sown wails and groans turn into a ruinous vortex.  The itch of envy changes into leprosy; from malice the tongue grows numb.  A whole hotbed of disasters is built by the man who gives himself over to the illusion of bad luck.  Such poisoners are intolerable in the Brotherhood.  Yet many dream about brotherhood without thinking what a burden they bear!  How strong is the man who realizes the good fortune of being a man!        
(Sergius of Radonezh by Vasnetsov)
