The Machiavellian observation

  The Machiavellian observation that princes/rulers are either loved or feared by the people would in the present day require updating:  worldwide the prevailing mode is toward Mafia-mode in government.  Few champion constitutional republics on earth; the hour of the dark night of the spirit is at its peak now in America and the very soul of the land quakes and cries out for help.

  Trump is merely a symbol of this plight, not its origin, since the conspiracy-mode practiced in great cunning against Abraham Lincoln (and others) has since only increased and has not yet been corralled and brought to its full karmic account.  Has the public even read Balsiger and Collier’s The Conspiracy Against Lincoln published in the 1970s from Los Angeles?  I think there’s not even been an update or reprint of that classic exposé which was greatly spurred on by the discovery in 1974 of the 18 missing pages of the John Wilkes Booth diary that the Staunton family had kept in their attic since that assassination in April 1865.

    I urge all to attain self-mastery rather than mastery over the lives of others and to check the widespread practices of control men have one to another . How determinedly the dark forces have spawned the Machiavellian ideas that men must control other men and their outward destinies.  They have created then not greatness or graciousness but mechanisms by which they divide and subdivide the races of men.  This fragmentation does not result in the unification of purpose that would help mankind to see reality, and to know it when they see it; on the contrary it creates those schisms which breed violence because men think unlike each other.  And because they do not think alike,they can exude the poisonous breath of hatred against one another and in so doing feel that they are fulfilling their raison d’être. Some even dare to consider their hatred to be the product of lofty ideals.
  We are not condemning; we seek to create forums of understanding.  We would penetrate the consciousness of humanity.  We would guide the youth into the great crystal glow of dazzling reality where the City of God can become tangible in themselves and upon earth.
