why Babylon is so great

Blessed ones, beginning at the beginning, you understand that the drug marijuana itself has lessened the responses of many, many in this nation to a sharp-mindedness concerning survival—survival of the self as an integrated personality in God. -Archangel Gabriel, Pearl 26:24 …................ While Pres. Andrew Johnson had been able to slow down the industrialists and protect the powers of the presidency, he could not stop them and lawmakers they controlled from ushering in a new economic order and an age of big business. Following the Civil War the robber barons–men such as Jay Gould, John D. Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt and John Jacob Astor–and other financiers and industrialists seized control of the institutions of the country through their unscrupulously gained wealth. -Archangel Chamuel, via Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on October 4, 1992 at New York City, Pearls of Wisdom 35:58 ........ Lo! I come. Lo! Let the light descend. For I, Chamuel, deliver you now from every force of anti-love that has moved against you since you stepped forth from the Great Central Sun with your twinflame. Therefore accept the sword of mighty love. Accept the sword that is two-edged that now cuts you free! I AM cutting you free, O hearts of light, of all encrustations of all ages that have burdened your souls, your bodies and your beings. And as I do this I automatically make you emissaries of flaming love. Therefore be prepared to deal with the force of anti-love that will not leave you voluntarily. Therefore you must make the fiat with me: Be gone, forces of anti-love! [Congregation gives fiat with Archangel Chamuel:] Be gone, forces of anti-love! Be gone, forces of anti-love! Be gone, forces of anti-love! Be gone, forces of anti-love! Now, beloved ones, I anoint you as emissaries of your people, your ancestors, your point of origin through the nations of Earth. And I use you to send this light to every nation for the binding of the forces of anti-love in the governments, economies, in all aspects of the social framework of life. Therefore in the name of God, in the name I AM THAT I AM we say it again and I cut again through you to the four corners of the Earth: Be gone, forces of anti-love! Be gone, forces of anti-love! Be gone, forces of anti-love! Be gone, forces of anti-love! Be gone, forces of anti-love! Be gone, forces of anti-love! Be gone, forces of anti-love! Now use the power of your third eye. See then the landmarks of the nations, the points and areas of Earth where you desire to see the tremendous armies of the hosts of the Lord who have come this day in answer to your call. See them going into those states and nations, those conditions, into the capitals of the nations, into these United States. Use your third eye now as a beacon on earth. And see how many places you can visualize and therefore have this command repeated there through you as I now establish the power of the sword wherever your vision so rests. Therefore repeat with me again the command in the name of your Mighty I AM Presence: Be gone, forces of anti-love! Be gone, forces of anti-love! Be gone, forces of anti-love! Be gone, forces of anti-love! Be gone, forces of anti-love! Be gone, forces of anti-love! Be gone, forces of anti-love! Be gone, forces of anti-love! Be gone, forces of anti-love! Now I instruct you [so that you may] understand specifically what is a force of anti-love. Love is God. Therefore every force of anti-love is anti the God within you, anti the light within every person. Every force that violates the integrity and honor of the soul and her God is a force of anti-love as is every force of hate and hate creation delivered by the fallen ones. Beloved ones, we stir up a hornet’s nest this day, but it must be so. We cannot allow these fallen ones to prey upon the children of light. Therefore we force the question this day. We drive out by the fiat of the Word the ones who remain in hiding–hiding before the face of the Lord, hiding before the Messenger of the Lord, hiding before the sons and daughters of God. So understand, beloved, this day we have called the shots and we say we shall be proactive! We take the tail of the serpent and we bind that serpent-force that is the anti-Self of every individual upon Earth! Therefore the angels go forth! And in this action, beloved, you can expect a certain amount of upheaval. You must therefore stand guard to invoke [the seven archangels] again and again for the binding of these forces. Think of all that has moved against the flowering of your full God-manifestation in tens of thousands of years and understand that that which opposes God within you is the force of anti-love and how insidiously it works against you. Insidiously57 it11 does16 insert31 inside33 your25 own16 psyche31 through43 authority47 figures40 (=350=10 x anti-love35) or parents or whomever, beloved ones, self-dislike, self-hatred, self-condemnation, self-belittlement and worthlessness. These vibrations are subtle, but when they are tallied they add up to your denial of the great God- Self within your being. To purge your own house of the force of anti-love is a means of preparing your soul for wholeness and for empowerment–empowerment by the archangels that your fiats might ring forth and carry the weight of the son, the daughter of God who has determined to make it his/her mission in life to deal with the forces of anti-love. These forces are self-idolatry, tyranny over one’s own soul and over others, the tyrant-ego dweller, the dweller-on-the-threshold that is there in the unconscious ready to devour the soul as soon as she will rise. I AM Chamuel, and I raise my hands and direct light into your heart. I reactivate your heart chakra. I am balancing its twelve petals. I give support through the threefold flame, the divine spark in the inner chamber, the secret chamber of the heart. Know this then, beloved ones: if you will allow me [to tune your heart] and if you will use the mantra to Helios and Vesta [to that purpose], not only will you experience a tuning of the heart by the mighty tuning fork of an archangel but you will also receive the expanded heart-chakra that you might deliver the force of love. And when that force of love flows through you and you do not allow anything in your own consciousness to deny it, to limit it, to withhold it then I say, know that nothing shall be withheld from you, for you shall have conquered that which is most difficult in all the Earth. I will tell you why it is difficult. It is difficult because the forces of anti-love are entrenched fallen angels themselves occupying positions in the astral plane, in physical embodiment as well as out of embodiment. And when they find the man, woman or child who is determined to be love in all directions then, beloved ones, they go after that one with such persecution, with such hatred, with such a moving against that one. They conspire through spreading gossip and untruths to bring upon that one almost the crucifixion of the living Christ. In this day and in this hour you have great reinforcement by the hosts of the Lord, the ascended masters and seven archangels as we come forth in a new day offering ourselves to you for your protection. Those who are able to give of themselves in this endeavor must know that the price to be paid to receive that crowning jewel of divine love is to be willing to wrestle with and put down in the name of God every force of anti-love. I must tell you this because it is true and it is real. Look at your saints and sages and heroes, the people who have led nations who have given their all that freedom might move and be on the march in this age. Have they not all been persecuted, beloved ones? Therefore understand that in a nation where people take pain pills and medications to cover every form of pain possible there is then the denial that the experience of pain has a noteworthy side-effect–and that is that it causes one to enter into the understanding that many in the Earth are burdened and are in pain. By the power of contacting that pain you go to the very root of divisions in your own members, in your own four lower bodies that you might experience transmutation as the very fire of God’s love itself does sustain you. And you are sustained as you take your stand not to cower before the fallen angels, the powers-that-be, the people that are pulling the strings in government, on Wall Street and in the economy. Therefore I, Chamuel, come to you in the person of the Angel of Judgment even as I brought the judgment of the tower of Nimrod and the judgment of the people in their idolatrous delusion that they could be as gods. I come therefore into this city for the binding of the forces that move against its victory. For this city is an ancient site of Atlantis. This city does focus the fullness of the all-seeing Eye of God. And above this city [on the etheric plane] is the Temple of Liberty. It is the temple of the action [of the release of the rays] of the twelve hierarchies of the Sun. And there through the threefold flame [enshrined on the altar] and the [sponsorship of the] Divine Mother [in the person of the Goddess of Liberty] there is manifest the same ancient temple that was present here in the time of Atlantis, [excepting that it is not physical]. All peoples who require resolution with the heart of the Divine Mother and with the threefold flame and with the hierarchies of the Sun have followed the rays back to this city and back to this temple that [their souls] might go there nightly (during sleep) for instruction. This city therefore is key and it always has been key even on that ancient continent. Understand that you are here for a reason and that the same forces of light and darkness that were juxtaposed on Atlantis are juxtaposed here today. The strangling effect on the economy of the city through organized crime, the welfare systems that threaten to bankrupt the city and so much manipulation in the money markets–these things are a stranglehold upon the people and they are strangling [the arteries of commerce], preventing the flow of the lifeblood of God into this place. Beloved ones, tampering with the economy by fallen ones has continued almost since the founding of this nation, as it has in other nations throughout history. The playing with money and the [buying and selling of currencies] and effects of usury have brought a yoke upon a people and a nation[–and the nations–]that defies resolution. Well, I tell you, beloved ones, the seven archangels do have a plan for the resolution not only of the monetary debt of this people of America but also of the karmic debt. We will not lay out that plan to you this day, for it involves both spiritual and physical action. But we will tell you that if you will keep the vigil with the archangels, you will see how we will inject into this economy those solutions that can be made plain and those actions that can resolve the crisis. I urge you therefore to stay close to the archangels as the Messenger does go forth to proclaim us as living, vibrant beings in God who are the helpers of all people upon Earth without discrimination. We do not discriminate, beloved ones. We serve those who are most open to being served because they have opened their hearts to God and are of a devotional nature. Yet we assist all, for the hour of opportunity is at hand and this opportunity must be seized by everyone of you. Why not commit a minimum of fifteen minutes a day without fail to giving one of your favorite invocations from the angel booklet just to maintain your tie to us so that waking or sleeping we may pass the light through your chakras and bring resolution day by day? The problems in the economy and national debt, beloved ones, are problems that defy human solution and they almost defy angelic solution. There are only two ways out: collapse or victory. You might as well go for the victory with all of your might! For if you do not, then the collapse will come. Know then that inasmuch as there has been a manipulation of your funds through [monetary] systems of this government, so all of these things can be exposed and divine justice can come about. Your key role which we depend on is to make the call and demand the answer. We then give that answer in so many different ways. The forces of darkness are on the run. This you must be aware of. But they are like coyotes. As soon as they think they are not being watched, as soon as you drop the vigil they move in again. Know then that the children of the Sun and the sons and daughters of God who have been moving to this calling throughout all ages are [here in embodiment] in the hour when the greatest good can be accomplished. You have heard of the Fátima prophecies and of many of the messages of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, as she has appeared at so many points of light around the Earth. You have heard the warning then of those coming calamities, Earth-changes and wars and rumors of war. I tell you, there is yet time to mitigate these. Therefore move for the mitigation and make yourself as an angel of God, a pillar of fire in your town. Go be that pillar of fire! I, Chamuel, with Charity and all hosts of God summon you! It does not take twenty-four hours a day. It takes a commitment, even of a small amount of time, to keep yourself as the open door for us to step through the veil. We have all things except one, and that is a human form and a physical incarnation. Therefore I use the body of this Messenger to speak to you, and I will use your body to speak to the dark spirits [as you command] them to be bound. Yes, I will speak through you the words of wisdom. You must simply meditate and give me the opening that we might yet deliver to the world the solutions for this era. Shades of night are fast falling upon this civilization. The only hope is the star of the individual son or daughter of God. For when darkness covers the land the only light is the spiritual light that you have garnered in your chakras, in your mind and being. Therefore be that light, that city that cannot be hid, each and everyone of you. You have ties to all people on this Earth, O beloved. Therefore I, Chamuel, raise this sword once again: be gone, forces of anti-love! [Congregation gives the fiat with Archangel Chamuel:] Be gone, forces of anti-love! Be gone, forces of anti-love! Be gone, forces of anti-love! Be gone, forces of anti-love! Be gone, forces of anti-love! Now I perform a sacred ritual that is performed by the archangels and that is taught to you. Understand that when you take this sword in hand physically and when you direct it as I have directed it before you there is a light-ray that goes forth from the sword that does not end. It crosses the entire Spirit-matter cosmos and it does bind the force of anti-love on that line. Therefore if you will take your sword and turn slowly [in place] in a circle and do this daily, as the Messenger has demonstrated for many years, you will know that by and by you will have in fact contacted every line of controversy, every force of anti-love that has ever moved against you. Behold the Chart of Your Divine Presence! Behold the rays of light! Behold then how by the power of the aura of an archangel superimposed upon you you may cut across those lines in all dimensions of being, in all directions. And if you use this [technique] for many years to come, you will contact every point of karma that you have ever made in any direction on any system of worlds and you will be directing the fire of God for its consuming. By using this action, beloved ones, you are indeed manifesting the presence of the Great Central Sun where you are. And by the repetition, you are literally carving a pathway of the Sun-rays of light to go forth from your heart. When you see the [auras of ] saints and you see the sacred heart of Jesus or the immaculate heart of Mary or the hearts of the archangels or the purple fiery heart of Saint Germain you can see that your heartflame will also increase by exercise, by allowing [the light] to flow [through your heart]. You can call to any of the archangels or archeiai, you can call to seraphim of God and say: “O blessed angel, O blessed archangel, place your Presence over me now! For I desire to send my love to the farthest reaches of time and space and into the matter cosmos.” As you imagine all of you doing this and many souls doing it you can see the crisscrossing of rays until the whole night sky is lit up by the stars in the Earth–you, the superstars, you, the sons and daughters of God who have recognized the power of your own causal body! You can call for this causal body and your Mighty I AM Presence to descend over you or call for your Holy Christ Self to descend over you to perform this exercise through you as you perform the physical ritual. So many simple things, beloved, can be done which when you understand you are the power of God, the wisdom of God and the love of God in your city can accomplish great ends. Therefore I say, stir yourselves! Move yourselves! Do not waste moments or hours. Do not waste them in senseless watching of television when you can use the power of God, of His “camera,” of His all-seeing Eye, of His sending stations all over the universe to direct and to amplify the light of the heart! O beloved ones, the capacity is within you, but the fallen angels have hypnotized you to believe that you are helpless. You are not helpless! You are the divine helpers of God. We say to you: get in the driver’s seat! Drive your own chariot! And know that you may also journey out of the body and you may be with us and you may be strengthened by us. The hour is late, very late. As Saint Germain has said, in terms of cosmic time you have seconds to save the Earth and turn things around. But those seconds for you may very well be years and the remainder of this lifetime. So know, beloved, that tremendous changes can take place if people will stop dabbling in those things that only relate to the human self and human body and human mind. Transcend all of this! These bodies will not be your homes after another few decades. And thus, precious hearts, when you will have fulfilled your lawful life span you will understand that your body of light is waiting. And that deathless solar body is the body you weave by good works, by the science of the spoken Word, by capturing and holding the energy of God. Blessed ones, you stand on the threshold of stepping into your own immortality. Now I say to you, be not satisfied that you will be immortal in so many decades but be immortal now! Invoke ascension’s flame! Raise up the Mother-light on the altar of your chakras! Fulfill your destiny! Fulfill your reason for being! And you will find that the process of becoming immortal is the process whereby you put off the mortal coil and put on the immortal coil of eternal life daily. Walk the Earth then with transparent auras that might be filled at any moment by God and by us so that you might hold the balance in your city in an area of riot or organized crime. You are not helpless before these conditions, but you must agree to accept the condition that the Messenger has taught you: command the archangels in the name of God! Command light to go forth! Command the God-flame! And do not be afraid to do this in your homes out loud. Do it with authority, beloved ones. I come to reconnect you to God by love and therefore I say: be bound, ye forces of anti-love! For these very forces stand between you and your God simply because you have allowed them into your house. Do you allow strangers to come into your apartment or your home and mess up your house, mess up your place? Do you allow strangers to trample upon all that you have? No, beloved ones! But you have allowed these interlopers to come into your very body temple to stand between you and the great victory of light. Remember, God is in your heart! You are God’s and you are in God’s heart. More than this you do not need except the practical application of the science of the Law and the spoken Word. I, Chamuel, admonish you. I have admonished you long, long, long ago in another time and place and in another continent. Some of you at that time, beloved ones, rejected my counsel and the Law has required that I wait all of these many centuries to return again. The time is fulfilled. I AM here! I admonish you to go and be the God of love! Go and be that manifestation and allow nothing else to occupy your temple. And be ready to defend your citadel of love by the all-consuming fire of love that will, in answer to your call, consume all forces of anti-love! Yes, I AM here and I have placed a part of myself with you. May you keep me with you, for I will show you what God can do through you to make your life more worthwhile than it has been in many long centuries. I seal you now. And this time I throw to you a flame of love, pink fire! Catch the flames, beloved! For this is the [blessing] my angels rejoice over--my sending the flame that you may catch it and keep it and therefore know the ability to deliver true divine love to all who may receive it. I seal you now for your victory in this life and beyond. You can do it! Will you? [“Yes!”] Go with God. -Archangel Chamuel Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood Elizabeth Clare Prophet on October 4, 1992New York City, Pearls of Wisdom 35:58 ............... With his assassination the balance of power shifted from “we the people” to a power elite that has controlled the higher levels of government, the economy and our cultural life ever since. As a result the Union for which Lincoln gave his life has been steadily subverted in an ongoing revolution that has nearly destroyed the delicate architecture of the American Republic with its limited powers, checks and balances and individual sovereignty. Concurrently the people of America have become progressively disenfranchised. The history of the Civil War (1861-65) is complex. Lincoln was opposed not only by the Confederacy but also by Northerners who wanted to trade with the South. Lincoln’s blockade of Southern ports hurt Northern moneyed interests who had been making it rich off the war. A coalition of speculators, financiers and a group of congressmen known as the Radical Republicans determined to do anything they could to restore trade–and thus their profits. Lincoln’s blockade was also slowly strangling the South. And so in this matter the Northern bankers had a common interest with Southern Confederate leaders, businessmen and bankers. Lincoln opposed the financial powers in other ways as well. At the beginning of the war Lincoln tried to borrow money from national and international bankers to finance the Union Army. According to one source they wanted to charge him 24 to 36 percent interest. Rather than accept the bankers’ terms he decided to print paper money–greenbacks–which became legal tender. Had Lincoln borrowed money at those usurious rates the bankers would have essentially owned the United States government at the close of the war. Next the bankers proposed a national banking system which would allow them to issue bank notes backed by U.S. government bonds. These notes would be just short of legal tender since the law said that they could be used in payment for all debts except duties on imports. The National Bank Act which incorporated their plan would allow expansion of the money supply through a fractional reserve system: banks could lend out more money than they had on deposit. After heavy lobbying by bankers led by Jay and Henry Cooke the act was passed in 1863 and it resulted in a surge of inflation. Furthermore, as economist Murray Rothbard writes, it also “paved the way for the Federal Reserve System by instituting a quasi-central banking type of monetary system.” An undocumented source says that during his second term in office Lincoln planned to repeal the National Bank Act or restrict the powers it had granted bankers. Had Lincoln repealed this privilege banks would have lost a huge money-making opportunity. In their book The Lincoln Conspiracy, David Balsiger and Charles Sellier, Jr. demonstrate that bankers and politicians North and South plotted to eliminate Lincoln. The authors worked from the missing pages of John Wilkes Booth’s diary and recently uncovered letters and documents to show that the plot against Lincoln included not only the frustrated racist, John Wilkes Booth but also Edwin Stanton, Lincoln’s secretary of war who coveted the presidency, and greedy bankers who wanted Lincoln out of their way. Booth talked with financier Judah Benjamin, a Confederate cabinet minister who took him to meet the president of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis. Davis arranged funds for Booth to conduct trade for the Confederacy and Benjamin arranged for him to meet with important Northern speculators, including Philadelphia financier Jay Cooke. Cooke invited Booth to a meeting at Astor House in New York. There he met gold and cotton speculators, bankers and industrialists. Among them were Cooke’s brother Henry, political boss Thurlow Weed, cotton broker Samuel Noble and the Radical Republican Senator Zachariah Chandler. Balsiger and Sellier point out that for Booth this was a curious situation–“one of the top men in the Confederacy’s cabinet had sent him to meet the very bankers who financed Lincoln’s war.” Booth was dedicated to the victory of the Confederacy and could not understand why important figures from opposing camps were cooperating. At the meeting Jay Cooke declared “I will continue to have dealings with the Confederacy. Not out of fear of betrayal but because, in peace and in war, a businessman must do business whatever the stakes.” At the end of the meeting Cooke told Booth “There are millions of dollars in profits to be made, and we’re being denied our share. We’ll be ruined if Lincoln’s policies are continued.” <23> The leaders of this alliance, both North and South, hired Booth to kidnap President Lincoln, write Balsiger and Sellier. After failing in six attempts, Booth became desperate and on the night of April 14, 1865 shot the President as he sat with Mrs. Lincoln in the balcony of Ford’s Theater. The country has never been the same. Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. The Civil War had destroyed the power of the Southern landholding aristocracy and established the Northern industrial powers. “A new plutocracy emerged from the War and Reconstruction, masters of money who were no less self-conscious and no less powerful than the planter aristocracy of the Old South,” wrote historians Samuel Eliot Morison and Henry Steele Commager. “The war, which had gone far to flatten out class distinctions in the South, tended to accentuate class differences in the North.” This set the stage for the emergence of the Northern banking establishment as a national ruling class. The era of political chaos which followed Lincoln’s assassination was to be instrumental in the rise of this power elite. Lincoln’s successor, Andrew Johnson, fought to carry out his lenient reconstruction plan. Echoing Lincoln’s sentiments he said “If a State is to be nursed until it again gets strength, it must be nursed by its friends, not smothered by its enemies.” Lincoln had promised to recognize governments of Southern states that would emancipate their slaves and pledge loyalty to the Constitution and the Union if they were backed by at least 10 percent of the number of voters in the 1860 presidential election. Johnson’s plan followed the same basic lines. The Radical Republicans virulently opposed both plans. Over Johnson’s repeated vetoes they passed their own more extreme reconstruction legislation. With fiery rhetoric they called for the punishment of the South in the name of morality and justice. But their real aim was to see that their own power remained unchallenged. During the war the Radicals had passed economic measures benefiting Northern industrialists. They feared that once Southern Democrats reentered the Union and joined forces with Western lawmakers their programs and newfound political supremacy would be jeopardized. Some critics also accused Radical Republicans of wanting to buy up the best Southern land for a nominal price. Johnson turned out to be as much of an obstacle to the Radicals as Lincoln had been. He declared himself the enemy of their goals of monopoly, centralization of power in a national government, and unlimited exploitation by corporations of the country’s natural resources. “Wherever monopoly attains a foothold,” he said, “it is sure to be a source of anger, discord and trouble.” As Professor Howard K. Beale writes, “For the future of industrial America Johnson’s championship of public interest and the common man was far more dangerous than any Southern policy he might conceive.” During his term Johnson took a firm stand against the attempts of big business to use the federal government to exploit unsettled Western lands. He opposed grants of public lands to railroads and favored reserving them for pioneer farmers. Of interest is his veto of two bills which would have permitted corporations to purchase public lands in Montana and thus monopolize the mineral and coal resources of the state for their own private gain. The Radical Republicans counterattacked. They set out to strip the Presidency of its power and render Congress omnipotent even if it meant bypassing the Constitution and its system of checks and balances. In March of 1867 Congress passed three bills that were unconstitutional, one of them taking from the President his role as commander in chief. When Johnson openly defied another of these laws by removing from office his secretary of war, Edwin Stanton, who had been plotting with the Radicals against him, they voted articles of impeachment against him and he missed being convicted by only one vote. After Johnson’s term was finished a more compliant President was elected–Gen. Ulysses S. Grant–who allowed the Radicals to control the executive branch. While Johnson had been able to slow down the industrialists and protect the powers of the Presidency he could not stop them and lawmakers they controlled from ushering in a new economic order and an age of big business. Following the Civil War the robber barons–men such as Jay Gould, John D. Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt and John Jacob Astor–and other financiers and industrialists seized control of the institutions of the country through their unscrupulously gained wealth. By definition, a nation’s leadership is an elite. It is when this elite becomes self-serving that the problems of the nation arise. Prior to and during the Revolutionary War (1776-83) the elite had been composed largely of civic-minded individuals. Sociologist C. Wright Mills in his influential study of the American ruling class, The Power Elite, said that from the years spanning the Revolution through the beginning of the nineteenth century America’s elite were “political men of education and of administrative experience, and, as Lord Bryce noted, possess a certain ‘largeness of view and dignity of character.’” Mills says that during the next period of time, roughly from Jefferson to Lincoln (1801-65), “no set of men controlled centralized means of power; no small clique dominated economic, much less political affairs....For this was the period...when the elite was at most a loose coalition.” Nevertheless a power elite had some control over the government even prior to the Civil War. In 1933 President Franklin Roosevelt, a bona fide member of the Establishment, wrote to Col. Edward House (a Kissinger-like figure) “The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson.” And that was since the 1830s. The stage was set and after the assassination of Lincoln the power elite was able to use the government to increase their wealth and power. It was at that point, according to Mills, that “the supremacy of corporate economic power began in a formal way with the Congressional elections of 1866.” It is hard to imagine just how unscrupulous this new elite was. Mills, summarizing the words of several of their most severe critics, writes: The robber barons, as the tycoons of the post-Civil War era came to be called, descended upon the investing public much as a swarm of women might descend into a bargain basement on Saturday morning. They exploited national resources, waged economic wars among themselves, entered into combinations, made private capital out of the public domain, and used any and every method to achieve their ends. They made agreements with railroads for rebates; they purchased newspapers and bought editors; they killed off competing and independent businesses and employed lawyers of skill and statesmen of repute to sustain their rights and secure their privileges. There is something demonic about these lords of creation; it is not merely rhetoric to call them robber barons. Perhaps there is no straightforward economic way to accumulate $100 million for private use; although of course along the way the unstraightforward ways can be delegated and the appropriator’s hands kept clean. If all the big money is not easy money, all the easy money that is safe is big. It is better, so the image runs, to take one dime from each of ten million people at the point of a corporation than $100,000 from each of ten banks at the point of a gun. It is also safer. The financial moguls of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries made a conscious effort to seize the power of the nation’s institutions as a means of enriching themselves. They recognized that they could not gain great wealth any other way. They also realized that they had to neutralize or circumvent the constitutional and legal barriers to their activities. There emerged a set of unspoken rules by which they operated which were, oddly enough, written down in 1906 by power-elite financier Frederick Clemson Howe in his book entitled Confessions of a Monopolist. Howe wrote: "These are the rules of big business. They have superseded the teachings of our parents and are reducible to a simple maxim: get a monopoly; let Society work for you: and remember that the best of all business is politics, for a legislative grant, franchise, subsidy or tax exemption is worth more than a Kimberley or Comstock lode [these were fabulously rich diamond and silver lodes, respectively] since it does not require any labor, either mental or physical, for its exploitation.... Mr. Rockefeller may think he made his hundreds of millions by economy, by saving on his gas bills, but he didn’t. He managed to get the people of the globe to work for him." Professor Antony C. Sutton comments on the modus operandi of the power elite in his book Wall Street and FDR: Old John D. Rockefeller and his 19th century fellow-capitalists were convinced of one absolute truth: that no great monetary wealth could be accumulated under the impartial rules of a competitive laissez-faire society, [that] the only sure road to the acquisition of massive wealth was monopoly: drive out your competitors, reduce competition, eliminate laissez-faire and above all get state protection for your industry through compliant politicians and government regulation. This last avenue yields a legal monopoly, and a legal monopoly always leads to wealth.... This robber baron schema is also, under different labels, the socialist plan. The difference between a corporate state monopoly and a socialist state monopoly is essentially only the identity of the group controlling the power structure. The essence of socialism is monopoly control by the state using hired planners and academic sponges. On the other hand Rockefeller, Morgan and their corporate friends aimed to acquire and control their monopoly and to maximize its profits through influence in the state political apparatus; this while it still needs hired planners and academic sponges is a discreet and far more subtle process than outright state ownership under socialism.... Success for the Rockefeller gambit has depended particularly upon focusing public attention upon largely irrelevant and superficial historical creations, such as the myth of a struggle between capitalists and communists, and careful cultivation of political forces by big business. We call this phenomenon of corporate legal monopoly–market control acquired by using political influence–by the name of corporate socialism. <36> Howe, the monopolist, recognized that there was a profound difference between free market capitalism and the capitalism he and his fellow capitalists practiced. He wrote: This is the story of something for nothing–of making the other fellow pay. This making the other fellow pay, of getting something for nothing, explains the lust for franchises, mining rights, tariff privileges, railway control, tax evasions. All these things mean monopoly, and all monopoly is bottomed on legislation.... Monopoly and corruption are cause and effect. Together, they work in Congress, in our Commonwealths, in our municipalities. It is always so. It always has been so. Privilege gives birth to corruption, just as the poisonous sewer breeds disease. Equal chance, a fair field and no favors, the “square deal” are never corrupt. They do not appear in legislative halls nor in Council Chambers. For these things mean labor for labor, value for value, something for something. This is why the little business man, the retail and wholesale dealer, the jobber and the manufacturer are not the business men whose business corrupts politics. <37> What we are seeing here is the compromise of a nation conceived in the heart of the Goddess of Liberty founded upon a dispensation of tremendous moment from the causal body of Saint Germain. We see those of ulterior motives denying her ensoulment by the original Founding Fathers who had been chosen and picked by the Master, sponsored as his initiates and disciples. We see that light of Aquarius in the Master/disciple relationship becoming America. We see the movement of people from the 13 colonies across a continent. We see coming to life the green shoot of a new hope for millennia of freedom by the power and presence of Saint Germain. Yet in the shadows, not perceived, there are lurking those who have not that original light, have no heart-tie to the ascended master of the seventh age and dispensation and are not sponsored by him, for they came not bearing the kindling light of freedom. They affirm “We are the law, we bow to no other.” Such as these have no direct access to the light of the I AM THAT I AM, for they long ago extinguished the divine spark in their absolute rebellion against Almighty God and the Christ of His offspring. They see the people of light coming from all over the world impelled by the Spirit of freedom. They see them bearing the flame of the I AM Presence to America’s shores to fulfill a grand experiment in freedom. They see them becoming a part of the great tapestry of America, stitch by stitch, life by life, hard won. They watch and wait and they move in to control, to subjugate, once again to elevate themselves. They assume the posture of a royal dynasty–not as “noblesse oblige” but as “mon droit,” my right–an elitist corps. They think they are a privileged class because of their heavenly origins. But they descended not in grace as world saviors but as falling stars–fallen angels, so named “Watchers” by our father Enoch. <38> They have come to subjugate and enslave the Christ of all people. They know that it is the light of the people that produces and multiplies the wealth and health of the economy. They have come to live off of that light and to make all Americans–all who are of the race of the I AM THAT I AM–pawns in their monopoly games. Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. And so they moved in to control the money system in order to siphon off that light. As Sutton notes in Wall Street and FDR “In modern America the most significant illustration of society as a whole working for the few is the 1913 Federal Reserve Act. The Federal Reserve System is in effect a private banking monopoly, not answerable to Congress or the public, but with legal monopoly control over money supply without let or hindrance or even audit by the General Accounting Office. It was irresponsible manipulation of money supply by this Federal Reserve System that brought about the inflation of the 1920s, the 1929 Depression, and so the presumed requirement for a Roosevelt New Deal.” In his work The War on Gold Sutton explains: The groundwork for the Federal Reserve System was laid at an unpublicized meeting at the J. P. Morgan Country Club on Jekyll Island, Georgia, in November 1910. Senator Nelson Aldrich, bankers Frank Vanderlip (president of National City Bank and representing Rockefeller and Kuhn Loeb interests), Henry P. Davison (senior partner of J. P. Morgan), and Charles D. Norton (president of Morgan’s First National Bank), met in secret to decide how to foist a central bank system on the United States. Others at the meeting were Paul Moritz Warburg, the German banker, and Benjamin Strong (a Morgan banker who later became first Governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York). Out of the Jekyll Island cabal came the basic bill passed by Congress and signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson as the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. Under the earlier sub-Treasury system bankers had no control over the money supply in the United States and, even less to their liking, none over currency issues. Thus we have inherited from these masterminds meeting in secret behind closed doors the central banking system. Jekyll Island participant Frank Vanderlip in his autobiography, From Farmboy to Financier had no compunctions about revealing the purpose of the Jekyll Island meeting. He wrote “Our secret expedition to Jekyll Island was the occasion of the actual conception of what eventually became the Federal Reserve System. The essential points of the Aldrich Plan [Senator Aldrich’s proposed legislation for a central banking system] were all contained in the Federal Reserve Act as it was passed.” The power elite came to dominate both the Republican and Democratic parties. They elected and defeated presidents, especially in the post-Civil War days, and simply bought Senators and judges. They gained control of the media and set the national agenda and the tone of the debate on the issues. But ultimately it was the American people who were at fault. They allowed these men to control them instead of electing those who would follow the principles of the Founding Fathers. Lincoln once said “If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen we must live through all time or die by suicide.” <42> America, we have got to get in there and kick out the power brokers! It’s the moneyed interests who have been responsible for the wars of this century. It’s the capitalists who have built up Nazi Germany and the Communists and betrayed the people of light around the world. Unless we stop them in the name of Almighty God we too will have abdicated even our right to decide the life or death of our nation. If we allow them to kill our nation, it may be suicide by proxy, but it will still be suicide. If this nation is destroyed by others because we do nothing, it will be just the same as if we had destroyed it ourselves. If we want to fulfill our destiny, it’s time we realize who the real culprits are and stop allowing them to use our nation as the means to their world takeover! Civilizations do fall for lack of leadership and the real cause of their collapse is always self-destruction. Historian Arnold Toynbee conducted an exhaustive study of the world’s civilizations. He recognized that a civilization cannot continue to grow unless it can successfully respond to all challenges. This parallels the life of the individual. When you cease to be able to meet all challenges to your identity, to your life, to your personhood, to your path and to your soul you will cease to grow and you will wither away. Toynbee also concluded that as a civilization evolves, more of its challenges are internal rather than external. He wrote in his monumental work, A Study of History, “It has to reckon less and less with challenges delivered by external forces and demanding responses on an outer battlefield, and more and more with challenges that are presented by itself to itself in an inner arena.” “The criterion of growth,” he says, “is progress towards self-determination” unencumbered by either internal or external challenges because one is meeting both. Growth is dependent upon creativity–ingenuity, the ability to put down those forces that assail one’s highest calling–“perpetual flexibility and spontaneity,” as Toynbee defines it. <45> And this is precisely what we need when we are fighting for our highest reality. The ability of a nation to defend itself against external and internal challenges depends on comparable spiritual development. “Real progress,” wrote Toynbee, “is found to consist in a process defined as ‘etherialization’, an overcoming of material obstacles which releases the energies of the society to make responses to challenges which henceforth are internal rather than external, spiritual rather than material.” If a society cannot etherialize, or spiritually transcend itself, then the civilization breaks down and enters what he calls a “time of troubles” preceding its ultimate dissolution. What we see here is that nations go through the identical phases of initiation as do individuals. First we must deal with the objective enemy who is without and then we turn to deal with the psychology of the subjective enemy who is within. Nations, as people, come to the hour of self-transcendence when all of the foundation and body of the pyramid that they have built is focused in that moment of quintessence in the capstone in the all-seeing Eye of God, thence to give birth to a golden age. If the components of society, which are made up of the complex components of individual psyches, are not ready for self-transcendence, the civilization cannot meet this initiation of the Universal Christ which must be self-realized in the corporate body of the national will. Failure to pass one’s initiation at the hour appointed by the law of cycles effectively halts the forward march of progress–spiritually and industrially. Yet life cannot stand still. The law of motion governs stars and cells and the body politic and the heartbeat of freedom and the spirit of a people. That which ceases to breathe the breath of immortal life or to be endowed with creative fires from the altars of God, that which ceases to experience growth ceases to entertain Be-ness. Whether it is the individual who abdicates his path of personal Christhood or a nation (as a collective of individuals) that abdicates hers, without the Holy Christ-flame fanned and hard won as the centerpiece of existence there is no integrating factor for the continuity of life anywhere–period. One of Toynbee’s most important conclusions is that civilizations die by suicide and not by invasion. “The most that an alien enemy has achieved,” he says, “has been to give an expiring suicide his coup de grâce”–that is, the final blow that brings death to a sufferer. When individual by individual a nation abdicates a path in the Master/disciple relationship under Jesus Christ then the nation as a whole must flounder and fall. In the light of this understanding of histories of all civilizations, we can see why Jesus called us on May 28, 1987 to the path of the ascension through the path of love and self-givingness–to be world teachers and to claim the mantle of mediator on behalf of those who know not the way to go. We can see why on that same date he called for ten thousand Keepers of the Flame who will invoke the light (through prayer and invocation and dynamic decrees) that will stand between a people, a world, a continent and their own returning karma. We can see why he has cried unto us and called us to be his disciples, even naming the date of November 1, 1987 when we must begin in earnest to realize that path of individual Christhood: It is because there must be lightbearers in a nation who fulfill this chemistry, this alchemy at this hour when a nation must transcend herself or enter the deceleration spiral of a suicidal recession. America has come to the Y: to choose to embrace the living Christ for the glorification of the God Self and the giving of light unto others for God Self-determination or to choose not to be and to take what light one has for the glorification of the not-Self, thus entering the left-hand path of enslavement of souls to Antichrist under the tyranny of fallen angels. You recall that Jesus in his Last Judgment set the sheep to his right hand but the goats to his left. “The blessed of the Father” take the right-hand path of the glory of God, the divine Ego; “the cursed” take the left of the glory of the human ego. The judgment of the latter pronounced by the Son of God was “Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.” When the power elite rose up in America it was for the glorification of their identity as a proud race of fallen ones. This was to be accomplished through the taking of the light–that is, the money, i.e., the value of sacred labor–of the people. The shift was from one nation under God to a plurality of monopolies under the Luciferian hierarchy of the Eastern Establishment. We had been taken and taken over by the Watchers and the agenda of their false hierarchy of America which was to be the abdication of America’s destiny, (that destiny) as designed by Providence. Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. The fulcrum for change, change for the better or for the worse, is a civilization’s leadership. Toynbee sees two types of leadership classes: the creative minority and the dominant minority. Here we see the creative minority as the sons and daughters of God, co-creators with Him; the dominant minority as those archdeceivers who subjugate the people by the abuse of power. Toynbee explains that the creative minority have the ability to lead civilization up the mountain of self-transcendence. We see these leaders as the Founding Fathers, the Masons, the lightbearers, those both Christian and Jew who knew they were the descendants of Israel. A society’s transfiguration, says Toynbee, comes only as its people imitate this creative minority. Thus El Morya wants the profile of your Christhood and of the leadership of the I AM Presence with and in you to shine. He wants your example to be an image of what the people deserve to have raised up in the highest office in the land. Toynbee observed that when the creative minority lose their creativity and become oppressive–when they let the threefold flame go out and the divine spark–they degenerate into a dominant minority which rules by force. Thus those who in heaven were the guardian spirits of our grace fell into disgrace when they descended to Earth to lust after the daughters of men. This creative minority became the oppressors of the sons of God in the Earth. And the lightbearers are displaced by fallen ones who come in their cunning with their serpent schemes and their plots of takeover–and they are well-organized plots. As it is written, “The dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. ”Therefore the lightbearers, off guard, not fully integrated on the path of initiation for want of a true path of the religion of the Divine Mother, a true path of a God-government and a God-economy understood and taught to them by true shepherds, are set aside and displaced by those in whom no candle burns. In reaction to the oppression of the dominant minority, Toynbee says, the people withdraw their allegiance to their leaders and no longer seek to imitate them. This schism between the people and their leaders marks the disintegration of the civilization and heralds an epoch in which it is no longer able to adequately respond to challenges. Today, Western civilization is the preeminent world civilization and America is its leader. Since Lincoln was assassinated a dominant minority concerned solely with the interests of the ruling class has gradually replaced the creative minority in America. With the advent of this new year of ever-new challenges to our integrity as individual sons of God, my friends, that transition is virtually complete. And the people untutored by the heart of Christ continue to allow their leaders to make decisions that are not in the best interests of their nation or their world. As a result of this change in leadership which has brought the United States under the dominant sinister force of an elite inner circle comprised of the powerful Watchers America has been taken step by step on the road leading to the abdication of her divine destiny–complete in the twentieth century! Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. -Messenger E C Prophet, Pearls of Wisdom 31:9 some of the footnotes: 23. David Balsiger and Charles E.
