We are either a United people, or we are not. If the former, let us, in all matters of general concern act as a nation, which have national objects to promote, and a National character to support—If we are not, let us no longer act a farce by pretending to it. For whilst we are playing a dble (double) game, or playing a game between the two we never shall be consistent or respectable—but may be the dupes of some powers and, most assuredly, the contempt of all. -George Washington to James Madison: 11-30-1785 https://founders.archives.gov/GEWN-04-03-02-0357

219. The most ancient writings have undergone many alterations, passing through the hands of foreign translators. It is a well known fact, but for all that it is not taken enough into consideration. To obtain the full meaning one must turn to the same source, Hierarchy. If the translator and interpreter is in communion with Hierarchy, then his relative understanding will be set right in due time. It is unfitting to touch the sacred covenants with dirty hands.

You shall fill the tabernacles and temples with worshipers who shall worship in spirit and in truth, who shall recognize their own divinity and shall realize that the farce of the ages is because men have looked at Caesar and have not looked at God.

…we often note the tendency on the part of humanity to mimic the worst examples in every age rather than to be the best examples….
When the self becomes accustomed to functioning in a climate of domination, imposing itself upon others and in turn being imposed upon by others, it knows not its own freedom nor is it able to impart freedom. Therefore the greatest step that the disciples can take in this day of violent actions and reactions is to cleanse the self of the vicious habit of reacting to the mistakes of others. It is enough that an individual has erred in the first place, but when you add to his error your own you have what we have often called “a compound fracture.” These situations are not always easily mended.
