Civil War In America
2013
Dear Collaborators:
Some
of you have asked, and I decided to share more broadly, my personal
views of the current situation in the United States from the perspective
of a student of the Alice A. Bailey teachings.
1. We are living
through a worldwide Stage of the Forerunner in the process of
externalization of the spiritual Hierarchy, a stage which is “preparatory
in nature, testing in its methods, and intended to be revelatory in its
techniques and results.” (see below)
2. In the United
States of America, this preparatory stage of the process of
externalization is being revealed by clashing forces reenacting the
American Civil War (1861-1865) in the mental and emotional planes.
3. This time
(2010-present), a different kind of slavery is at the crux of the
contending forces. A war is being waged for and against the “freedom
from want -which, translated into world terms, means economic
understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy
peacetime life for its inhabitants- everywhere in the world.” (see
below)
4. A disciplined group
of regressive extremists is attempting to hijack the U.S. government by
holding civil servants, and the whole American population, hostage to
their demands to keep health care unaffordable to a growing segment of
the U.S. population. The uninsured in need of health care represent all
those individuals -at home and abroad- enslaved by an unfair economic
system which favors corporate profits over the common good.
5. The
tactics used by this disciplined
group of regressive extremists should be carefully analyzed in order to
foresee the obstacles to be faced by the spiritual Hierarchy in the
process of externalization.
5.1
Prevarication (disguised lies). To promote a cynical view of
the truth and democracy, justifying the misinformation of the public
opinion (e.g., misrepresenting causal associations) in order to
achieve the greatest good for the few.
5.2
Polarization. Create an artificial opposite of a true value
in order to adulterate it by compromise. That is, if 2+2+=4, then
claim that 2+2=8 so that you can achieve your objective of molding the
public opinion to believe that 2+2=6. Promote the belief that the
average of a false polarity is the rational way to solve the
difference.
5.3
Exhaustion. Repeat a lie enough times until all resistance to
its acceptance is overcome by sheer exhaustion.
5.4 Anarchy.
Misrepresent regulated order as a constraint of freedom.
5.5
Individualism. Distort the idea of the common good as
totalitarianism.
5.6 Ethical
relativism. Promote the belief that the truth and the error
of a proposition are equivalent and that neutrality is the preferable
“third way” of bringing lasting peace to all conflicts.
5.7 Power. The financial support from vested
interests, translated into public support, determines the power of a
truth.
6.
As diplomatic progress in the “freedom from fear” is achieved in the
international arena (i.e., Syria), a domestic (uncivil) war on
the “freedom from want” (i.e., universal access to health care) is being
waged in the United States to weaken the resolve of its enlightened
leaders.
7.
To resist evil is not partisan. As was true of Abraham
Lincoln, the dharma of
Barak Obama
is to lead in achieving peace through conflict in an
ideologically divided country. Lincoln succeeded in preserving the unity
of the nation, not as a Republican, but as a nonpartisan
president of an entire country, a true racial avatar.
In
summary, President Obama should NOT surrender to the regressive forces
that still deny the legitimacy of his presidency and are now attempting
to hijack the U.S. government, threatening to bring the whole world into
financial chaos. These forces of evil (i.e., past good which
should be left behind) must be resisted at no matter what cost.

DINA I, 706: The
acceptance of facts is one of the first duties of a disciple.
In the task of aiding humanity, as a part of the Master's group or
Ashram, the fact that there are men and women placed in positions of
power to carry out the divine plan is one of the first to be faced. This
must be done uncritically, avoiding constant recognition of their
limitations, with an understanding of their problem, with realisation of
the call of their souls to yours and the pouring upon them of a constant
stream of "loving understanding." They are more advanced disciples than
you are—little as this may be realised. They are—consciously or
unconsciously—under the "impression" of the Masters; there is little
that the average disciple can do for them in moulding their thought or
in shaping their decisions. I refer of course to the leaders of the
Forces of Light upon the outer physical plane. But disciples and
aspirants can surround them with a guarding wall of light and
love; they can refrain from handicapping them with thoughts of
criticism which can swell the tide of criticism which the worldly minded
pour out upon them.
EOH 448:
The Hierarchy stands, no longer watching and waiting,
but acting today with impelling wisdom and fixed decision in order to
strengthen the hands of Their workers in every field of human activity
(political, educational and religious) so that they may take right
action and correctly influence human thinking. (March 1945)
The Stage of the
Forerunner
[EOH] At
this particular time, the emphasis of the needed alignments and
adjustments with which the Hierarchy is faced is being placed upon
activity within the Hierarchy Itself. The secondary Ashrams are being
stimulated; new ones are being gradually formed, for there are not as
yet forty-nine minor Ashrams; vacancies in the major Ashrams are being
filled as rapidly as possible from the ranks of those working in minor
Ashrams and the places of these latter are being taken by accepted
disciples who are being fitted for this work through experience,
difficulties and the tension of world service. All these changes
necessitate much adjustment. The interior work of hierarchical alignment
is in the charge of the Chohans of the Major Ashrams, whilst the task of
superintending the interior adjustments incident to new alignments and
the admission of new personnel is being watched over and directed by the
forty-nine Masters who are in charge of minor Ashrams—either Ashrams
with what is regarded as a full complement of workers, or Ashrams in
process of attaining that full complement, or embryonic Ashrams of which
there are already quite a few.
One of the results of this
hierarchical alignment and adjustment will be the establishment, for the
first time, of a fluid interplay and movement between the three
planetary centres. Chohans are today passing out of the Hierarchy into
the Council Chamber of the Lord of the World, or on to one or other of
the Seven Paths; senior Masters in charge of Ashrams are taking higher
grades of initiation and taking the rank of Chohans; initiates above the
third degree are rapidly taking the fourth and fifth initiations and
becoming Masters (taking both initiations in one life), and their places
are being taken by lesser initiates; these, in their turn, have been
training disciples to take their places, until in this process of
substitution and replacement we arrive at the door which symbolically
stands between humanity and the Hierarchy, and today stands wide open,
so that accepted [Page 530] disciples are taking initiation, pledged
disciples are being accepted, and accepting disciples are taking their
pledges.
Thus a great and new movement
is proceeding and a tremendously increased interplay and interaction is
taking place. This will go on until A.D. 2025. During the years
intervening between now and then very great changes will be seen taking
place, and at the great General Assembly of the Hierarchy—held as usual
every century—in 2025 the date in all probability will be set for the
first stage of the externalisation of the Hierarchy. The present cycle
(from now until that date) is called technically "The Stage of
the Forerunner". It is preparatory in nature, testing in its
methods, and intended to be revelatory in its techniques and results.
You can see therefore that Chohans, Masters, initiates, world disciples,
disciples and aspirants affiliated with the Hierarchy are all at this
time passing through a cycle of great activity.
In the adjustment necessitated
by the rapidly advancing alignment, the Members of the Hierarchy are
fitting Themselves for the objective work of public expression. This
entails far more difficulty than you might imagine or anticipate,
because it entails the development of that form of "resistance to the
pull of the lower vibration" of which you can know nothing, for that
lower vibration is a necessary aspect of your normal expression—little
as you may like to realise this. You need to realise that there is
nothing in the Masters or higher initiates which can respond to any
vibration of this nature. Though They cannot absorb it or react to it or
redevelop it again, it can cause Them the acutest discomfort and pain;
that is the reason why the Son of God was called in The Old Testament a
"man of sorrows and acquainted with grief". This did not in reality
refer to His sufferings for poor miserable humanity (as orthodox
theology so selfishly interprets it) but to the fact that He had to
submit Himself to contact with humanity. The Hierarchy is therefore,
along all lines (many of which I may not indicate or upon which I may
not enlarge), preparing Itself for the experience of physical
manifestation; It is also endeavouring to "create" the needed responsive
apparatus which will be of such a nature that [Page 531] Members of the
Hierarchy may function with the minimum of difficulty on earth and will
experience the least possible measure of handicap; They will thus be
enabled to give full time and attention to the work to be done by Them
in physical manifestation.
THE FOUR FREEDOMS
<EOH 319-320>
In the future days, which we
seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon
four essential human freedoms.
The first is freedom of speech
and expression -everywhere in the world.
The second is freedom of every
person to worship God in his own way -everywhere in the world.
The third is freedom from want
-which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which
will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its
inhabitants- everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from
fear -which, translated into world terms, means a worldwide reduction of
armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation
will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against
any neighbour- anywhere in the world.
