you no sooner place your staff in the sand than the waters come and the seas rage

Beloved ones, understand that no man can serve two masters--either he will hate the one and love the other or he himself will be split in twain and his own kingdom or consciousness fall.  Therefore to thine own self be true.  And of a certainty understand that thou canst be true only to thy True Self, for the synthetic self is as the shifting sands; you no sooner place your staff in the sand than the waters come and the seas rage and the winds blow.  And thus one can no longer find the point of reference in the shifting outer personality.  Trust then in the eternal flame of thy God-Self....
The dark night of the Spirit in the earth takes place during the weeks preceding and following winter solstice....(with) the coming to the fore of old momentums like "Old Nick"--that is another name for the dweller on the threshold*.  These must be slain once again, with the sounding of the final death knell upon that carnal mind, by your own enlightened spirits which take the sword of Maitreya and stand guard in the Church Universal and Triumphant and in the heart of the mystical body.  The gains of the year must be kept by the faithful.          -Kuthumi:  11-18-1984 at Camelot, Los Angeles
*At the eye of this vortex of untransmuted energy (of the subconscious/unconscious) is the consciousness of the anti-Self personified in the dweller on the threshold.
-Kuthumi by Hermann Schmeicheln, 1884

For the incoming ABC boss, the first priority is to keep up the pretense that the public broadcaster is “independent”.
Independent of what, you may ask?  It’s independent of public accountability. We can’t vote for programs or presenters; we can’t choose not to pay for it. We can’t choose to sell it, or even to send our tax funds to a different broadcaster.
The organization that depends on big-government for funds wants you to believe it’s independent of big-gov.   http://joannenova.com.au/2015/12/abc-is-not-a-state-broadcaster-its-independent-says-new-boss-ms-guthrie-oreally/

You must be tutored, for the lie is big....Therefore I AM El Morya.  I appeal to this nation not so contaminated by the decadence of Western civilization as is even America.  Blessed hearts, you have an air that is yet free and you are free to breathe it....May your star shine over Canada      -Morya:  4-15-1988 at Toronto via Messenger ECP

Take heed that no man, being 'scaped from bonds,
Vexeth bound souls with boasts of liberty;
Free are ye rather that your freedom spread
By patient winning and sweet wisdom's skill     -Gautama Buddha, in Sir E. Arnold's The Light of Asia, Theosophical Pub., Wheaton, 1969, book 7
