need to awaken America

The
second law of thermodynamics and politics
You see, my beloved, as one of the masters who sponsored science on
this planet, I would like to bring you a scientific perspective. What
is the problem in America today? Well, it is a problem that has been
described by physics in a law that has been known for centuries. And
it is called the second law of thermodynamics.
Some of you are familiar with it through our releases. But unfortunately
most people in the world and in America are not familiar with this law.
And if they are, they see it as something that applies only to science
but not to other areas of life.
And this, my beloved, is indeed part of the problem—that everything
becomes so compartmentalized. And as Jesus,
Nada
and Mother
Mary have talked about, people become so blinded by their filter
in front of their eyes that they can no longer see beyond it. They cannot
see the greater perspective, they cannot see themselves from the outside—and
therefore they cannot see that they are heading straight for the abyss.
Therefore, my beloved, what is needed is an integration of the philosophical
implications of the second law of thermodynamics, where you understand
what this law actually means for a civilization, a nation, a group of
people or even an individual. So for those not familiar with this law,
it states very simply that if a system becomes closed, becomes isolated
from anything outside itself, then disorder will increase in that system,
until the system breaks down to the lowest possible energy state. Which
we also might call the lowest common denominator, where things are so
bad, so flat, so dead that they simply cannot go any lower.
And so, my beloved, what exactly does that mean for a civilization,
for a nation? Well, it has been said that those who do not learn from
history are destined to repeat it. So let us look at history. Let us
look at the Roman civilization, as a perfect example for many reasons.
One is that at its time Rome was close to being as dominant in the ancient
world as America has become after the so-called collapse of the Soviet
Union.
Rome could do almost whatever they wanted with their armies, as America
today thinks they can do almost whatever they want. Yet, this great
civilization – that had conquered most of the known world back
then – collapsed. And why did it collapse? Well, it collapsed
because it fell victim to the second law of thermodynamics! Because
Rome, especially those who lived in the city of Rome and directed the
Roman empire – or the emperors, wherever they lived – they
isolated, they insulated, themselves from anything outside their own
little mental box.
And as a result, their mental box became narrower and narrower. It became
more and more focused on themselves, and they became more and more blinded
by their own logic, by their own filter through which they were looking
at the world. And so they were absolutely convinced that they were right
and that their way of looking at the world was the only possible way
of looking at the world. And they were so convinced that Rome was so
mighty and so powerful that it could not possibly collapse.
And, my beloved, what was it that caused that collapse? Well, it was
precisely because they had been blinded by their logic—they refused
to change themselves, they refused to transcend themselves and come
up higher. They wanted to expand the empire militarily but they did
not want to expand their minds. They did not want to expand the empire
in a spiritual way, in a spiritual capacity. And once the emperors had
gained power, they wanted to maintain power, rather than using that
power for the benefit of their own people or for the progress of civilization
as a whole.
My beloved, the Roman empire collapsed first and foremost from within,
through corruption, through decadence, through neglect, through denial.
And it was this corruption, this division from within, that made the
empire vulnerable to invasion from without. But truly, the invading
forces were only instruments of the people’s own divisions and
their inner turmoil. They simply finished the breakdown process that
the people themselves had started, led by the power elite of the Roman
civilization.
But do not believe that the people, as suppressed as they might have
been, were without responsibility in this matter. For what did the Roman
people do during those times? Well, they wanted to live the good life—to
sing, dance and make merry, to be entertained in the forum by the gladiators,
to entertain themselves with the power and the greatness of Rome, thinking
that they were so sophisticated and had such a wonderful civilization,
the likes of which the world had never seen.
Looking in the national mirror
Well of course, I must tell you that compared to the civilizations of
Atlantis and previous golden ages, the Roman civilization was not at
all sophisticated. It was actually very, very primitive in almost every
respect. And of course, you today can look back at the Roman civilization,
and you can see that the Roman civilization was quite primitive compared
to what you have today, even here in America and other places throughout
the world.
But what most Americans do not bother to see – because they are
not willing to look in the mirror – is that American society has
the exact same dynamics as what you saw in the Roman empire in the century
or so before its collapse. The same internal contradictions, the same
power elite that runs things, the same people who want to be entertained
through television, through football games, through pursuing the American
dream—which has been redefined by the power elite to be the dream
of being trapped into a 30-year mortgage, of owning your own home.
Well, my beloved, I should think that you can see that this was not
my dream for America, when I sponsored this nation. Certainly, my beloved,
I have no problem with people having a comfortable material life. For
indeed, I sponsored science precisely because I realized that as long
as people, the population, were toiling like the population in the middles
ages, they would not have the energy and attention left over to pursue
any kind of spiritual goals.
So I have no problem with a civilization where there is enough material
wealth and still enough free time that people have attention left over
to pursue spiritual goals. But what have the American people done with
their affluence, with their abundance of time? Well, they have busied
themselves with all kinds of empty forms of entertainment that drag
them down and down and down – or hammer their energies down –
so that they never have any quiet moment in their lives to actually
reflect and say, "Perhaps there is something better I could do
with my life than living this rat race of always feeling stressed out,
even though I have more time on my hands than any previous generation."
So my beloved, my point is simply this: when a society becomes trapped
in its own mental box, when it starts closing that mental box –
isolating itself from any input from the outside, any input that can
disturb that nation's sense that all is well – well, my beloved,
that is precisely the time to watch out for. Because you know that just
as the people are totally trapped in the illusion that they have it
all made and that they have created an eternal society—well just
about at that point, the second law of thermodynamics will start breaking
down their “eternal” civilization.
This is what happened to the Roman empire. This is what is in the process
of happening in America but it has not yet reached the point of being
irreversible. For there is still time, which is why I started out by
saying that it was eleven o’clock—the time has not yet run
out to turn around America, but it is getting close. And if people do
not start awakening themselves from the mass delusion that all is well
in America – and that America will remain free because she is
a democratic nation – well then things will start sliding downhill.
And they could slide downhill much quicker than most people would be
willing to consider.
The dilemma of how to awaken a people
I am in no way trying to sound alarmist. For my beloved, we are here
to always help you rise to the higher vision. But do you see, my beloved,
the dilemma that an ascended master faces? I have a cosmic perspective.
I see the handwriting on the wall. I am perfectly capable of adding
two plus two and coming out with four and seeing that there will come
a point where America reaches that point of no return, where it will
be very difficult to reverse the downward slide.
And so, the only chance I have of reversing that slide is to speak the
Living Word that can awaken people from the illusion that is causing
the slide to begin in the first place. And in order to do this, I must
shake people up a little bit, for otherwise they will go on pursuing
the American dream, pretending that nothing can go wrong and that everything
will turn out okay in the end.
Yet, on the other hand, I walk a tightrope. For you see, my beloved,
when the Roman civilization reached the point where the people started
awakening from their illusion, what actually happened was that the people
very abruptly shifted from a state of being in total denial to a state
of going into a state of panic and a sense of fear that things could
not possibly be turned around and that things were so bad that it could
only get worse.
And you see, my beloved, that shift actually reinforced the downward
spiral and made the downward momentum more powerful. So I have no desire
to awaken the American people to this alarmist mindset – that
so many are in – that a disaster is right around the corner and
that the economy would break down and that this or that calamity would
befall this nation. You see, my beloved, that is counter-productive.
But I do need to awaken the American people from the illusion that if
they keep going in the current direction, everything will be okay. For
that is not the case. So once again, the problem, the greatest problem
in America right now, is that the American people have not woken up.
They are in the closed system, and therefore the downward force –
which is truly not an evil force but is simply what Mother Mary calls
the contracting
force of the Mother – that force is breaking down society,
and some of you already know this.
And so what needs to happen is that the American people are awakened
to this reality without going to the opposite extreme of the alarmist,
disaster consciousness. And who, my beloved – or what –
can bring about such an awakening? Well, it is only one thing and that
is the Living Word, shining through many hearts – flowing
through many minds and hearts – where you give them a higher vision,
that although things are bad, it does not mean that things can only
go down but that things can actually get better because there is a higher
purpose, there is a higher vision for America and people's own personal
lives.
And therefore, letting go of the old does not mean that a civilization
breaks down and you lose everything. It means that you transcend the
limitations of the old, come up higher and build a better society, a
better civilization, one that is at an even higher level than today.
And it is at a higher level because the mental box that you have created
does not allow people to even envision what the Golden Age could be
like in America.

Strive
for the Middle Way
And so you see that, too many times in history, a nation has jumped
from the frying pan into the fire, from one extreme to the other. And
this is not what I desire to see for America in this age. So I must
ask you, beloved – those of you who are open to this Word –
I must ask you to discipline yourselves and to strive for the Middle
Way, the middle way between the two dualistic extremes—one that
all is well and that you can remain asleep, the other that all is bad
and things can only get worse.
My beloved, I desire the American people to be awakened. But I do not
desire them to be awakened through fear. I desire them to be awakened
through love—the love for something better than what is here today
instead of the fear of going to some fiery hell and therefore being
willing to give control to those who promise you that they can keep
you away from that hell—if you will only follow them blindly.
So I ask you to discipline yourselves. I know that many of the people
who are open to our word are so because you have overcome the delusion
that all is well. You have realized that things need to change and you
are willing to study alternative viewpoints that give you a different
perspective.
Yet many of you have not found the Middle Way. And you have become unbalanced
in the sense that you look for the doomsday prophets, the doomsday scenarios.
And you indulge in these things, almost to the point of enjoying how
bad things are, or how bad you think things are, and how – pretty
soon – the people will be awakened and you will emerge as the
wise ones who saw this coming ahead of time.
This is a tendency that we have seen even in students of the ascended
masters in previous organizations. And it is a tendency that it is time
for those of you who are open to our word now to grow out of. My beloved,
this world, this nation, is not going to hell in a handbasket—unless
you absolutely are hell-bent on seeing it go to hell. For as we have
tried to tell you, what you project into the cosmic mirror, the mirror
will reflect back to you. So what do you want? Do you want a nation
that goes from one extreme to the other? Or do you want a nation that
transcends the dualistic extremes and finds the Middle Way? Well, if
you want the latter then YOU must find the Middle Way.
For my beloved, if those who are open to the Living Word cannot find
the Middle Way, how can you expect the rest of the nation to find it?
And so, I ask you to let go of following these websites or email lists
or wherever you get this doomsday information. And, my beloved, let
me say this very clearly. I will admit that there are some of the doomsday
scenarios out there that may have some reality to them. I will admit
that there are conspiracy theories that have some reality to them. But
I must tell you that they have an overlay of negativity, of pulling
you down and pulling everyone else down with them, and if you have any
intention of being a student of the Ascended Host, then you cannot allow
anything in your life that pulls you down.
***
So my beloved
– just to stress this point again – what is needed in America
today is that the American people are given a different perspective
that allows them to step outside of their current mental box and look
at America from a greater perspective. To some degree you can get this
perspective on this Earth by interacting with people who are outside
America and therefore are looking at America from outside the mental
box.
But I must tell you that there is hardly anywhere to go on this planet,
where they do not have their own mental box that filters their view
of reality and their view of America. So while you can learn somewhat
from people in other cultures and nations, you need to raise that vision
and seek for something that is totally beyond the duality consciousness.
And that something is, of course, the Living Word, which is the only
thing that will connect you to a reality that cannot be affected by
duality, and therefore cannot become a closed box and cannot become
subject to the forces of the second law of thermodynamics.
You see my beloved, Jesus came 2,000 years ago to set the foundation
for the golden age of Aquarius by creating a tradition whereby people
would have and maintain the direct contact with the Living Word—which
would allow them to develop Christ discernment so that they could not
be pulled into the dualistic extremes and become blinded by that relative,
dualistic logic. For the only way to avoid creating a closed mental
box, creating a closed system, is to be connected to something beyond
duality.
And the only thing beyond duality is the universal Christ mind –
the LOGOS – which is simply another word for the Christ mind,
and has been translated in the English Bible as the Word. But I tell
you, it would have been far better if it had been maintained as the
LOGOS. Because the LOGOS has a broader meaning than the Word. And I
shall let Jesus himself explain this to you.
