Do you want an economy for the people or an economy for the elite?
Saint Germain, September 21, 2008
I am indeed Saint Germain. I hold the Flame of Freedom for the Earth.
But what exactly does that mean? It means that I have become completely
and utterly one with the God Flame of Freedom. And I have vowed to radiate
that Flame of Freedom to this planet for the next cycle of the Aquarian
Age. Thus, my beloved, I have earned the title of the God of Freedom
for the Earth, as I have become one with that God flame.
Yet, I prefer not to use this title, as it can easily be misunderstood
and mistaken by human beings as an excuse for building idolatry, my
beloved. And thus, I would speak, in the beginning of this discourse,
about idolatry. For indeed, idolatry is one of the main lessons that
humankind was meant to overcome during the Piscean Age.
And what they have done instead, my beloved—they have built an
even greater idolatry of Jesus, who came to set all people free from
idolatry. Not only the idolatry of self but especially the idolatry
of the fallen
beings on this planet, those who are entirely trapped in the duality
consciousness, because they have become completely blinded by their
own egos. And thus firmly believe the illusions of the ego, believe
those illusions to be an absolute, undeniable and unquestionable truth.
Thus having the ultimate idolatry of having elevated a lie to a truth,
and thereby thinking that by adhering to the “absolute truth,”
they have elevated themselves to some ultimate status compared to other
human beings.
And thus, my beloved, you see, indeed, that idolatry is the veil of
ignorance, the veil of illusions, that keeps the majority of the population
trapped in the illusion that they need an elite to stand between themselves
and God. Was this not, my beloved, what Jesus challenged when he challenged
the scribes and the Pharisees and the temple priests and money changers—who
had set themselves up as an elite between the people and their God,
perpetuating the illusion, the lie, that people were not free to go
within their own hearts and find God directly. But that they could contact
God only through the outer religion and its priesthood.
Idolatry in past ascended master organizations
This, my beloved, is the ultimate lie that must be overcome before the
Golden Age of Aquarius can begin to unfold. You will, if you take an
honest look - even at past Ascended Masters organizations - you will
see this idolatry. Even the idolatry that the messenger can stand between
you and the Ascended Masters, between you and your I AM Presence, between
you and God.
Thus, my beloved, it is necessary for those of you who are students
of this new dispensation, to overcome this idolatry, to be willing to
look at it in yourselves, to be willing to see it in past organizations,
and realize that those organizations were set up and designed specifically
to give the initiation to certain lifestreams. A final initiation –
we might say a final opportunity – to overcome that idolatry instead
of perpetuating it, my beloved.
And so, you will see that some did indeed overcome, while some perpetuated
it, while others were called to enter those organizations in order to
demonstrate that one can be a student of the Ascended Masters without
being trapped in idolatry. And although their examples were in most
cases ignored, nevertheless the example was given, and thus the opportunity
to make a choice was there. Which it would not have been if there had
been no one who had dared to go beyond the idolatry.
And so, you see that when you evaluate past organizations, you need
to be aware of this. And you need to be aware that those organizations
did indeed offer a unique opportunity - through their entire design
- for people to confront this state, this consciousness, of idolatry.
And those who were not willing to look at the beam in their own eye,
did indeed receive, my beloved, the judgment that they will not be allowed
to re-embody on this planet. But must go to other spheres, where they
can make a go of life – if they will – without dragging
planet Earth and the unfoldment of the Age of Aquarius down in their
self-centered state of consciousness. Where in their idolatry - which
inevitably leads to self-idolatry - they believed they were the most
advanced students of the Ascended Masters on Earth.
Truly, my beloved, those who are the most advanced students are those
who are not concerned about dualistic appellations, such as advanced
and non-advanced, but who are simply looking for the beam in their own
eye, realizing that it has no meaning to compare yourself to others.
For it is only a matter of comparing whether you have purified your
own consciousness of the elements of the duality consciousness. And
if you have not, then you look at them and you use our teachings to
go beyond them. And indeed, this is the flaw that you see in those who
are trapped in idolatry. For inevitably they believe that although they
can clearly see the faults in others, they do not need to look for that
beam in their own eye.
Yet I tell you, my beloved, that it is an inevitable law of God, that
if you see any fault in any other human being, you have that same fault
in your own eye—or you would not be able to see it in others.
And thus, if you keep focusing on the splinter in the eye of your brother,
then you will only reinforce your own self-idolatry and therefore refuse
to learn the lesson you were meant to learn by being in a particular
organization.
For you see, my beloved, as Master MORE has said, you get the messenger
you deserve. You get the guru you deserve. Or you get a guru who is
willing to outpicture the particular flaws that you need to see in yourself.
And thus, if you see them only in the guru, but refuse to see them in
yourself, well then you have failed the opportunity. But nevertheless,
it will be an opportunity for the planet to rise higher, as those who
refuse to look at their own consciousness will then go elsewhere, and
we can move on with raising this planet beyond that consciousness of
the fallen beings and their self-idolatry of thinking they know better
than God.
Idolatry and the economic crisis
And why, my beloved, do I choose to start talking about idolatry? Well,
is it not because it is precisely idolatry that is the central problem
in the current economic crisis? What have you seen perpetuated by the
press and the media, by government officials, by leaders in various
economic organizations such as the Federal Reserve or big banks? Well,
my beloved, is it not the consciousness that certain organizations,
companies and institutions are “too big to fail,” and thus
the government must step in and prop up those colossuses so that they
do not tumble?
You see, my beloved, what is this if not idolatry? And the underlying
truth here is that it is the idolatry of the people, perpetuated throughout
the Piscean Age and earlier, that they cannot exist without the power
elite of fallen beings. LINK This, my beloved, is precisely the problem
that you see on Earth. It is the illusion that prevents the people from
standing up and taking back their God Power, the power of God within
each and every one of them. And it is the illusion that is being perpetuated
by the elite itself - the elite in the media, the elite in the government,
the elite in businesses and finance and banking.
For they desperately cling to their positions of power and privilege.
Yet, underneath it all, some of them are beginning to realize that their
days are numbered. And that the days of their power and privilege over
the people—those days are numbered too, my beloved. For they see
that this cannot go on forever. And that it is only a matter of a relatively
short time before the people will rise up, as they have done before
against the feudal system, and other examples of the power elite having
attained almost total control over the people.
Many among the power elite are, of course, still blind to this. But
some of them are beginning to see it. Thus, my beloved, what I desire
you to be aware of, what I desire you to envision and what I desire
you to make calls on, is that the people are awakened from this idolatry
of thinking that they need an elite. An elite of selfish and self-centered
people in order to continue a society with stability.
For you see, my beloved, we of the Ascended Host are not in any way,
shape or form attached to stability. We want growth! And sometimes,
growth means that you must throw off the old, by letting it become shattered—if
that is what is necessary, because the people cling to it to the point
of almost insanity, of not being willing to let it go.
So you see, my beloved, we certainly prefer a smooth transition from
the current economic system to a Golden Age economy. We prefer to minimize
the suffering and the loss. Nevertheless, we do not prefer this to the
point where we are willing to prevent the people from learning their
lesson. And thus I trust that you will see that it is not appropriate
for you to make calls for the stabilizing of the economy. It is not
appropriate for you to make calls for the propping up of the institutions
created by the fallen beings. It is not appropriate for you to make
calls that support the power elite.
You need to make the calls and hold the vision that the people learn
their lesson. And that those who will not learn receive the judgment
of Christ, so that they can be removed. This, my beloved, is what will
bring progress. And if it requires a few bumpy turns of the road, then
so be it. For I tell you, it is a necessity that the people learn what
can be done to misuse the economy before they will be ready to accept
the economy of the Golden Age.
For I tell you, my beloved, that if I had an instrument that could right
now present the Golden Age economy to humankind, well the vast majority
of the people on this planet simply would not accept it. They would
reject it as a hopeless, utopian pipe-dream, that simply could never
come to pass. For they are so steeped in the consciousness of lack,
again perpetrated by the fallen beings as a result of their idolatry,
my beloved.For what is the essence of idolatry? It is the desire to
raise yourself and your own group above other people. But how can you
raise yourself compared to others unless you are in an environment infused
with the illusion of lack? For in order for some to have more, others
must have less, my beloved. And this state of an unequal distribution
of wealth and privilege cannot exist in the abundant life of God. It
can only exist when that abundant life has been rejected by a critical
mass of human beings, so that it cannot be physically manifest.
Spreading risk or masking risk?
So you see, when I talk about an equal distribution of wealth, I am
not talking about the socialist dream, where the state has usurped the
position held by each person's I AM Presence. I am talking about the
true realism of the Golden Age, where the people realize that they have
access to the power of God within themselves and therefore they can
bring forth the abundant life without being dependent upon an elite
here on Earth. An elite who can make the decisions of how to run the
complicated financial system that the elite has created precisely in
order to hide their intentions and their manipulation from the people.
Even to the point where what you have seen lately is that that system
has finally become so complicated that even the people who created it
can no longer figure out how the system works. And thus, they can no
longer assess the true risk of the dubious financial instruments they
have created. And thus, you see that companies who have been in business
for over a century can suddenly vanish in a week, because their own
leaders have become so deceived by the complexity of their financial
instruments and by the consciousness of greed, that they could not accurately
assess the risk of those instruments. And thus could not even keep their
own companies afloat, my beloved.
And this is the lesson that the people need to learn - that when they
are in the state of idolatry, blindly following the blind leaders, allowing
the blind leaders to run the economy - well then, my beloved, it is
only a matter of time before those blind leaders back themselves and
the entire nation – and in a sense the entire world – into
a corner from which there is no easy way out. There is only a collapse
of the system, my beloved.
For you see, the lesson learned by those who desired to build the Tower
of Babel - a tower that could reach into the heavens - is that when
you build too high without having the foundation of the reality of the
Christ consciousness - because you are building on the sand of the anti-christ
consciousness - well then there comes a point where your creation will
tumble under its own weight. And this is what you see in the financial
system of the United States and beyond.
From blind greed to blind fear
For you see, my beloved, what has driven this financial system now for
decades is indeed unbridled, blind greed. This is a greed, my beloved,
that has perverted the financial system to the point where it was so
based on debt that it became impossible to accurately assess the risk
of conducting business in that system. For the risk had been spread
out and thereby masked and camouflaged, so that no one knew what was
really going on.
But as long as the cycle of supposed growth and profit continued - because
the people in the system blindly believed that it could continue forever
- well then the cycle did continue seemingly forever, built not only
on the blindness and the greed of those on the top, but even the blindness
and the greed of many among the people. Who thought that by investing
their savings, their pension plans, in the stock market and other dubious
hedge funds and mutual funds, they could get something for nothing,
as I talked about when I last discoursed on the economy, back
in the spring.
So you see, my beloved, both the people at the top and the people who
followed those blind leaders were blinded by that consciousness of something
for nothing, that is the essence of greed. Where you are no longer willing
to work for a fair return, you are no longer willing to work to raise
all life and thereby receive your just reward. No, you want to receive
a reward without working, or you want to receive a reward that is greater
than you could achieve by working. You want a shortcut, you want something
for nothing.
And this blinds you to greed, where you suddenly think that anything
goes—anything that seems to offer you a short-term profit should
be pursued. For, after all, if you don’t do it, all the other
companies in the financial world will, and they will seem to be doing
better than you. So everybody jumps into the fray and follow suit. And
the people who are investing see that those who are investing in these
dubious instruments are making money, and so they think they have to
jump in as well. And everyone is caught up in the fray, in the frenzy,
like the feeding frenzy of a school of fish that blindly snap at anything
that moves, in order to get a part before the party is over.
Yet most people did not realize that the party would be over. Because
the profits that were claimed were not real profits. They were imaginary
profits because the risk had been masked to the point where it seemed
like there was no loss or the loss could be postponed to next year.
So that we can make the money and get a good balance sheet this year
– and make the bonuses for the people in the top – and then
nobody bothered to think what would happen a year, two, five, ten years
down the road, my beloved. And so in the blindness of their greed, nobody
bothered to ask their own accountants to project what would happen down
the road if the present trend continues. And even the accountants had
difficulty assessing the real risk of derivatives and other financial
instruments, so that the entire system was in this state of blindness,
my beloved.
This is the blindness that is the inevitable companion of greed. For
you see, greed can only be based on an illusion. And any illusion feeds
further illusion, further blindness. What is the illusion behind greed?
It is the illusion of the separate self, where it seems possible that
we can gain an advantage to ourselves and our company, and then never
mind what happens down the road, to these other people that we are taking
money from or to the system itself.
Learn from the story of the golden goose
Well, my beloved, one of the great problems in today's world is that
most children have been brought up without the knowledge of the old
fairy tales, the old folk tales, that used to circulate among the population
and thereby became a part of the awareness of most children as they
grew up. For those tales were indeed inspired by the Ascended Host to
inject valuable life lessons in a playful format that children would
take in. And so the problem is that most of the money managers in today's
world never heard the tale of the golden goose—the goose that
laid the golden eggs.
So let me retell it briefly: there was a man who had a goose. And one
day he noticed that the goose had laid a golden egg. He was, of course,
happy, but he was even more happy the next day when he realized that
the goose would lay a golden egg every day! And for a time he was overjoyed
and bought everything he desired for those golden eggs. But then gradually
he became greedy and started thinking: why should I have to wait to
get a golden egg every day, why should I not cut open the goose and
get all the eggs at once. And so he cut open the goose and found only
one egg in there. And so he lost the goose and all the golden eggs of
the future.
An economy based on the gambling consciousness
And this is indeed what the money managers have done through the economy
by creating an economy, my beloved, that is basically based on the same
exact consciousness, the same exact principle, that you see driving
Las Vegas and gambling in general. It is the desire of something for
nothing, where you make a small, seemingly insignificant investment,
and then you hope that the outcome would be a tremendous return, through
some aspect of fate or luck. And basically, my beloved, by masking the
risk of derivatives and other financial instruments, the money managers
entered into this state of gambling, of thinking that because they were
investing borrowed money, and because they had masked the risk, it was
an insignificant investment that had the potential to give a very large
return.
And this is the exact principle, my beloved, of gambling. You think
you can invest in gambling without losing. And therefore you see millions
of people who buy a lottery ticket every week, hoping that one day it
will get the big return. But you see, my beloved, gambling is a business,
is it not? And a business can survive only if it makes a profit. And
that means that for all of the people who buy a lottery ticket, even
though a prize is paid out every week, less money is paid out than is
paid into the system, for otherwise the business could not continue.
And so, you now see the fallacy of gambling. That certainly some people
seem to get something for nothing, but all people could not get something
for nothing, or the system would collapse.
And this is the same you see on Wall Street, my beloved. When Wall Street
started investing not only money but borrowed money – money that
was not only borrowed because they existed somewhere, but money that
was created out of nothing, my beloved – they gradually started
creating the situation where sometimes there would be a big return on
an investment. But where it became clear that the promise was that all
of those who invested in these new financial instruments would make
a return. And that promise simply could not be fulfilled, my beloved.
Because it was an illusion to begin with, as it is an illusion that
all who play the lottery can win the big prize.
And so you see that for a time the greed blinded the people, so they
went along with it. But then inevitably there comes a point of reckoning,
where the Tower of Babel has become so top-heavy that it starts to crumble
and crack under its own weight. And then – suddenly – the
people in the top start waking up and realizing that this cannot continue.
And then they do what always happens—they switch from the illusion
of greed to the illusion of fear. And in their fear, they try to pull
out what they have before others do the same. And thus, they create
the downward spiral that threatens a complete meltdown of the entire
system.
Is the government for the people or for the elite?
And this suddenly wakes up the rest of the people and the government
– who up until now has been asleep at the helm – for they
would not regulate these new financial instruments, and thought the
market would take care of it. And suddenly the government wakes up and
realizes that the market will indeed take care of it—by taking
down the entire flawed financial system. But wait a minute, that would
be too big of a shock to society, they think, and it will certainly
overturn some of these venerable institutions that we think we cannot
live without. And, so now the government believes that it has to step
in, in order to protect the people. But I ask you, my beloved, to consider—who
is the government protecting? Is it the people—or the power elite?
And indeed, you will see that so far the American government is too
trapped in the entire mindset of something for nothing – the mindset
of greed, the mindset of elitism – that they are acting primarily
to protect the elite, rather than the people. And I will therefore prophesy
to you, my beloved, that if they do not thoroughly reform the entire
financial system, then whatever they do will only prop up the system
temporarily. And it is a matter of months or a few years before the
next crisis will roll along, my beloved.
Yet, I will also tell you that there are intelligent and well-meaning
people in the system – both in businesses and in the government
– who have the potential to enact the kind of reforms that are
necessary to not only stave off the current crisis, but actually to
put the entire financial world back on a sustainable growth path, where
the system will not destroy itself out of blind greed.
And so there is the potential, that if these people are allowed to bring
forth their ideas, and if those ideas are indeed carried out, well then,
the ship can be righted, so to speak. And you can have a more smooth
transition toward the Golden Age economy. Yet I must tell you that the
Golden Age economy is very far off from the current state of the economy
world-wide, and especially in these United States. And so, I am cautiously
optimistic. But “cautious” being the operative word in that
sentence.
For you see, my beloved, I am indeed a realist and I realize that the
power of God can truly correct all man-made problems. The reality of
God is that the Ma-ter Light can as easily outpicture the abundant life
as the state of lack and inequality projected by the elite and the people
who have blindly followed them. Yet I also see that there are many hurdles
that need to be overcome—hurdles that most people, even the brightest
in the financial world or the government, do not see, for they cannot
look that far ahead.
For they have not yet been willing to truly take a look at the system
and say, “What is actually wrong with the system?” They
are still trapped in the consciousness of saying, “What do we
need to do prevent a collapse of the system?” Instead of saying,
“What do we need to do to create an economy that is sustainable,
that promotes sustainable growth? Growth not only for the elite, but
for all people.”
A sustainable financial system
For I tell you, my beloved, in this day and age – in the transition
to the Aquarian Age – no economy can be sustainable unless it
raises up all people toward the abundant life. It is not sustainable
to even have an economy on a world basis, where two thirds of the world’s
population live near the starvation level or below the poverty level
of a few dollars a day. This is not sustainable, and as long as the
rich nations will not address that problem, well then their economies
will always be in a state of going from one crisis to the next, always
being threatened by collapsing under their own weight. For they are
fed by greed instead of the true desire to raise up all life.
So then, my beloved, what will it take to create a financial system
that is sustainable? It will take that the government wakes up and acknowledges
its rightful role. For you see, my beloved, the reason – one of
the primary reasons for the current financial crisis – is indeed
the lack of regulation. And that the government has been caught up in
a false view of the free market economy, that makes them think that
the best they can do is stand back and let the market create whatever
financial instruments they want to create. For the market will eventually
regulate itself, as the saying goes.
Now I tell you, my beloved, as I started out saying, I hold the Flame
of Freedom for the Earth. But what is freedom, my beloved? Is it the
freedom to exploit? Is it the freedom of a small power elite to dominate
the population? Nay, my beloved. This is not freedom!
For you see, freedom cannot be found through the blindness of the human
ego. Freedom cannot be found through the duality consciousness. Freedom
can be found only in knowing the reality of the oneness of all life.
Thus knowing that only when you do something that seeks to raise the
All, will you be doing something that will truly benefit yourself.
Misuse of economic freedom to create monopolies
And thus, what is the role of government, or the role of a free democratic
government, the kind of government that the founding fathers envisioned,
at least partly, and attempted to create through the United States Constitution?
It is indeed to protect the people, to serve as the steward of the principles
that will raise up all life towards greater freedom, even greater economic
freedom and economic abundance.
So you see, my beloved, it is a myth perpetrated by certain people among
the elite, that a free market economy can run itself without government
intervention. It is a further myth that the United States has a free
market economy and has always had such an economy. The reality, my beloved
– that even a superficial study of history will reveal –
is that in the late 1800’s, there were certain financiers, certain
industrialists, who had used the freedom of the free market to create
businesses and financial institutions of such size that they began to
realize that it was possible not only to adapt to market conditions,
but to drive and control market conditions in order to create monopolies.
Yet, they also realized that in a true free market economy – where
competition is unrestricted and where the people are educated and informed,
my beloved – it is not possible to create a monopoly.
Freedom is the anti-thesis of monopolies, my beloved. For a monopoly
is not the inevitable result of free competition. Free competition will
destroy, or rather prevent the creation of, monopolies, by always making
it possible for others to compete, no matter how big one business might
become. That business, my beloved, will only remain big in a free economy
as long as it serves its customers. But when you create a monopoly and
artificially raise prices, you are no longer serving your customers,
and if there is free competition those customers will go elsewhere.
And this was what was realized by some of the big industrialists and
financiers, such as Morgan and Rockefeller and others in the late 1800’s.
And thus, they realized that in a democratic nation, such as the United
States, it was not possible to create a monopoly through competition.
The only way to create a monopoly was to restrict competition by causing
the government to be deceived by the illusion that the government had
to enter the economy and use its power to regulate the economy for the
purpose of creating stability. Which, in the vision of these big financiers,
meant creating a stable situation where no smaller companies could come
up and challenge the position of the big established companies.
And this is what you have seen over this past century, my beloved, that
government regulations have been used to serve to protect the big established
companies from the free market, the free competition. And then, my beloved,
the master stroke of these financiers was the creation of the Federal
Reserve, the Federal Reserve System, which served not only to prevent
free competition in the banking industry, but also served to prevent
the big companies from reaping the consequences of their own mistakes.
Again, you see, my beloved, that in a free economy, those who make mistakes
will reap the consequences and thus go down or be reduced in size. So
that if a company got big and greedy and no longer served its customers,
in a free economy the customers would go elsewhere, and thus the company
would be either reduced in size or disappear completely.
And so, you see that in creating the Federal Reserve as the lender of
last resort, the big banks could then make questionable investments,
and if they turned out to be wrong, well then the system would protect
them from going down. And this, my beloved, is to a large degree what
you see today. Or do you not see, my beloved, that the investment banks
that have so far been independent of the regular banks, are falling
one by one. But who is taking them over? Well, is it not the big banks,
who are a part of the Federal Reserve System? And therefore are backed
by the taxpayers, for the taxpayers are liable for the money that the
system creates out of nothing.
The role of government in the economy
And so, as I said in my last
discourse, when you create more money to prop up the failing system,
well then you put more money in circulation. But there is nothing of
real value to support that money, and the inevitable result is that
the value of the money is degraded, which means that the value of the
labor of the majority of the population is degraded. And thus their
standard of living inevitably goes down, my beloved. For, inflation
eats up the value of people’s labor.
This then, is what must be seen, what must be corrected. And it must
be seen by a large number – a critical mass – of the people,
who have so far not been willing to use their freedom in a relatively
free society to go beyond the illusions and the lies fed by the mainstream
press and educate themselves about the reality of how the economy works.
So that they themselves can be the watchmen on the wall. For surely,
the people in the media are not the watchmen, as they should be, nor
are many people in the government the watchmen, as they should be.
So you see, my beloved, the consequence here is that it is a myth that
a free democratic government can stay out of the economy. It is indeed
absolutely necessary that a modern government will keep a watchful eye
on the economy and will regulate. But the problem is that regulation
should not be to give an advantage to the elite, to the establishment.
It should be made to make sure that an elite cannot form, that an establishment
cannot form, but that the people always have recourse to take their
business elsewhere and to create smaller businesses that compete with
the big ones.
For you see, my beloved, another concern that must be brought out and
debated freely is – is it necessarily the duty of a free democratic
government to allow businesses to reach and go beyond a certain size?
Is it truly a free economy if businesses are allowed to become so big
that they cannot only out-compete smaller businesses but that they can
actually drive the market, my beloved? And thus create a situation like
what you have seen in the financial industry, where the financial companies
themselves created these new financial instruments that ended up destroying
the entire system.
This, my beloved, is again the duty of a government—to protect
its citizens against the consequences of companies becoming so big that
they can dominate the marketplace and therefore in some sense hold a
monopoly. A monopoly that in many cases is protected by government regulations,
but in other cases is protected by non-regulation, so that once a company
has become so big that it dominates the market, well it can effectively
destroy any competition to itself.
Why laissez faire is not an option
Now, my beloved, do you see that precisely because I am the God of Freedom,
I realize that laissez faire is not an option on this planet, as long
as so many people are blinded by the duality consciousness? And as long
as there is such a large number of people who are totally embodying
the fallen consciousness, the self-centered, egotistical consciousness
of wanting something for themselves regardless of the consequences for
other people.
A government cannot simply let the market take care of itself. For the
government – that should be elected by the people, should be of
the people, by the people, for the people – that government must
protect the people, not only from the elite but even from the people's
own blindness when they are blinded by the duality consciousness. And
that is why such a government must be based on principles. But in this
day and age it is clearly not enough to have a constitution based on
principles. For that constitution will be undermined by people who do
not see the truth behind those principles.
And thus, in the Aquarian Age it is necessary to raise up people in
all aspects of government and in the media and in business and in other
branches of society, who have the vision that beyond man-made ideas
there is a greater reality, my beloved. And it is only when we reach
for that greater reality that we can create a sustainable civilization.
A civilization that does not collapse under its own weight—whether
through financial crisis or through war or through other manifestations,
such as natural disasters or even diseases [meaning epidemics] that
are an outpicturing of people’s consciousness.
So you see, the real lesson that should be learned here is that if you
allow any aspect of society to be dominated by the duality consciousness,
then you will experience a crisis that will threaten the collapse of
the entire society. And the only way to avoid this cycle of ups and
downs – what some people have mistakenly called the business cycle,
as if it was an inevitable part of business – the only way to
avoid these ups and downs, my beloved, is to reach for something that
is beyond the duality consciousness.
For, as long as you have a business world based on the duality consciousness,
well then you will have a business cycle of ups and downs. This is inevitable.
And it is inevitable that sooner or later this system will collapse,
although it is amazing to see the ingenuity used by those in the duality
consciousness to prop up a financial system so that it has been able
to sustain itself for as long as it has.
Yet, I would be far more glad to be amazed by the willingness of people
to recognize the flaws in the current system. And their willingness
to reach for the ideas that we are surely ready to inspire upon people
with the necessary knowledge of the economy, so that we can indeed see
the emergence of a sustainable system that avoids these ups and downs.
For, as I said before, there are many people who have an in-depth knowledge
of the economy, and therefore have the chalice prepared that they could
receive the ideas from the Ascended Host that are absolutely necessary
to pull people out – to pull society, to pull civilization –
out of the current financial crisis.
The vision for us to hold
And thus, you see my beloved, that the vision I desire you, the spiritual
people, to hold is that those people who have the knowledge and who
have the potential to be open to higher ideas are indeed awakened. And
that they are recognized and are allowed to come to the forefront of
the system, so that they can play their intended role – the role
that they elected to play before they came into embodiment, but that
most of them have forgotten. So they need someone to hold the vision
for them, that they will awaken and suddenly realize why they are here,
and suddenly step forward, no longer maintaining a silence but step
forward and demand influence in a balanced way, that will indeed be
recognized by the people as the voice of reason, the voice of higher
principles.
The people are already there, they are already in position, we simply
need that last step of pushing society over the brink, so that those
people come to the forefront and their ideas are recognized as what
is necessary to take society forward. Hold that vision, my beloved,
call it forth, demand that it be manifest. For this is indeed the most
valuable service that you who are the spiritual people can do for the
economy. Do not seek to prop up the system of the fallen ones. Seek
instead to bring forth the system of the Ascended Host, that can replace
the old system and truly create and manifest a Golden Age economy.
Thus, I thank you for your attention. I thank you for your rosaries,
for your calls. I thank those of you who are participating in the course
of Christhood, for by being willing to look at the beam in your own
eye, you are also looking at the beam in the collective consciousness.
And as you pull the beam from your own eye, you make it easier for thousands
or millions of people to also see and pull that beam.
Thus, I commend you for your efforts, my beloved. I commend you for
your efforts to form the next step for this movement – even The
School of Being and what will come beyond – by giving your financial
support and thus allowing the unfoldment of the plan we have for this
movement.
For you see, my beloved, in the Aquarian Age we do not wish our students
to have the idolatry that inevitably causes them to feel left out. We
want people to feel involved, to feel they are part of what we are doing,
so that we are not up here doing something that you are on the receiving
end of, but that you very much see the figure-eight flow, that as you
multiply what we give, we can give even more, and thus we all grow together
in the River of Life.
Thus, be sealed in that Flame of Freedom. Be sealed in that River of
Life. And be at peace, my beloved. Do not for a second entertain any
fear. Even if the whole world goes into a fear about the economy, hold
the vision for the Golden Age economy. Hold the vision that the people
learn their lessons, even if they are hard learned lessons. But still
that they learn their lessons and transcend the old consciousness that
has created the present system. Hold that vision and be sealed in the
peace that truly is an aspect of freedom. For how can you be at peace
if you are not free, my beloved?
