The Secret Society of Power Brokers and Power Mongers
Mystical Protagonist:  Capitalism is dead, but the politicians and political writers are afraid to say it, and the dullard public can't figure out where the stench is coming from.  Those who know it don't say it because they know what would happen to them. What I am about to share with you will explains the historical course that has led us to this disastrous juncture in humanity's halting progress to Spiritual Awakening.   It ought to shed considerable light on the Reality of todays conditions in America.  Conditions in where our sacred democracy has been betrayed by corporations into an evil melange of corporate abuse.

I want you to guard against dismissing the assertions made in the Allegory of the Secret Society of Power Brokers and Power Mongers, which is the major portion of this concluding Epilogue, as a literary fantasy, a melodrama.  While the plot details of the story are a literary contrivance, the underlying premise and condtions implied are not fantasy, but brutal fact.  To know these condtions as fact requires a Spiritually awakened Consciousness accessable only to those who have been prepared to see them for what they actually are, and what they actually imply.  In fact what you are about to view as a melodrame is in fact a horror story.  You can transfer these developments to more effectively interpret the headlines in today's media and press. As shown in the prior dialogues, these evolving conditions result from the Spiritually unilluminated ego owned and directed three traps of mind.

InQuiring Mind: You mean you insist that a real conspiracy exits? Well I don't believe it, even after all the productive time we have shared.  Give me a break. All the squabbling in Washington is simply politics as usual, although focused on the war in Iraq. The pluralistic and competitive nature of our society prevents the success of any such systematic plotting.  That's the whole point of democratic capitalism.

P: But only if we actually live in a Democracy, which we no longer do.  We now live in a corporocracy [definition]  in which the possibility of recovering our Democracy is rapidly becoming inaccessible, and will be by the end of the 2008 election unless there is a radical awakening of the electorate. Ah! You have been well seduced by our nation's new indoctrination system (formerly educational system.) But the same thing can be said about the human body that exists in a delicate balance of its parts. All parts work cooperatively to define the healthy whole--until something goes wrong. Everything in the body is "fine," as you say, until metatastic cancer takes over. The body's owner seldom notices the evidence of this imperceptible change at first.  Then they often deny the evidence.  Then they minimizes its implications. Then in a sudden panic, at last they seek help. But when help is finally sought, it is often too late.  The once healthy body soon dies. [Review the Parable of The Entrepreneurial Liver, Use your back button to return from its interpretation.]

The same dynamic is present in today in our society.  Life is RAW. [Reality Always Wins!]  The early warning system reports (like OT/MP and certain populist and progressive political movements) are shouted down when they can't be ignored.

Q: When you say  "conspiracy," I think of the typical grade C movie type, melodramatic, handful-of-evil-men, plotting the-smoke-filled-room, upstairs in the back room of a brothel.

P: Of course, that is not what I mean at all.  In this allegory I speak of high tech entrepreneurs at the top of glass cased high rises in elegant board rooms reading from the same sheet of "music" that they have collaborated in composing. Then they independently orchestrate their solos following the same theme. Some of them go to church on Sunday and contribute heavily to church and charity. Some are pillars in the management of their downtown church, but in the nature of the commercial business they conduct, there is no effective Spiritual dimension. The are like the "good" Mafia don who regularly attends mass. They play expensive golf and eat at the finest restaurants. They fly in their own corporate jets and work out of special hideaways or five star hotels the world over. They are the evil puppet masters [review "The Evil Puppet Master"]  of a vast legion of intelligent, devoted, capable but culpable and routinely naive servants of low Spiritual consciousness [less than 200 on the Hawkins' C/consciousness scale.]  My dear Pilgrim, for such lackey service were you destined, to be a puppet. Yes. That was your destiny before your came to see me.  Think about it.

Q: Go on, make your case.

P: The puppets aggressively and unquestioningly do their master's bidding according the song and dance choreographed for them. These are performances first learned and mastered from grade school through the graduate and professional schools of our universities. These lackeys believe they will eventually get their piece of the pie. Not likely for most. The economic foundations that created the corporate power brokers of US industry and commerce is rapidly being shipped off shore.  The promise of our youth to study and be rewarded is being betrayed.  You are are already betrayed before you hire out to your first job.  Your competitors are no longer your graduating peers, but third world counterfeits who work overseas without fringe benefits and for half of what you have worked for and deserve to earn.

As these puppet masters serve their personal and exclusive visions of baal [metaphysical definition] in the form of money and power, the puppets they employ toward that end have been taught a lie.  The lie is the idealized capitalist myth that proclaims fairness, equal opportunity, and rewards for honesty and hard work.  But many a shattered entrepreneur has learned that some are less equal than others.

Those of your brainwashed generation do not question their puppet masters because in your impoverished Spiritual Consciousness, they do not see them as evil.  Your friends have no Spiritual definition of evil as you do now, let alone your capacity to assess the Reality of your existence and create a plan to meet that challenge. They obey without question because they defer responsibility to their corporate masters. [recall the Milgram phenomenon in dialogue 5]

Q: You mean the scientific studies of Milgram that reveled that over 70 percent of average Americans will brutalize an innocent party, even a neighbor, provided only that they can defer responsibility to higher authority? [Ref obedience to authority syndrome in Dialogue 5]

P: Yes, and without reward or even overt intimidation.   They dare not question the perceived authority that owns them, nor their assigned duties to which they are devoted, nor the evidence of any destructive side effects and punitive fallout on legions of innocents to whose cries they must remain Spiritually deaf and blind.  Now, unless you choose to alter it, see if you can find your destiny in the following scheme of the power mongers and the Spiritual counterpoint offered by the Master Watcher.

Suppose that after about a decade of plotting and steadily taking over the the critical areas of governance by political means, what was once casual becomes more formal. Suppose they are now plotting how to further solidify their current gains, by using their combined and orchestrated power to finalize and seal the secular (civil and criminal) laws and rules of society. They plan to arrange for this entirely on their terms. Most important, without being conscious of it, the success of the co-conspirators will depend upon sufficient numbers of the electorate being Spiritually impoverished such that they can be freely manipulated and duped into serving the cause of these evil conspirators.  This required impoverishment defines the status quo of American and western societies.

Control of the world first requires control over all the instruments of the national government and then the lives and energy of the entire national population.  But the public can only be fully exploited after the protective laws and agencies of a liberal democracy are ruthlessly removed by deception and ultimately enforced by violence. Then the unchallenged use of their malevolent enforcer can prevail.

Q: Absurd! Unreal!  Come on! Naturally that is hard to accept. Terrific for the movies, but not in real life.

P: Really?  Just ask the survivors of the Nazi's holocaust whether a Nazi scenario was "absurd" before January 30, 1933 (when Hitler was appointed Chancellor of the Reichstag and promptly abolished the democratic Weimar Republic.)  You must have studied  this. [details]

Q:  Yes but Germany was being ruthlessly punished for the first world war and the entire population was impoverished and ready to follow anybody who would end the humiliation and provide for simple work. That is not true today.

P:  Correct, but Hitler took autocratic control only after he used the democratic processes to have himself appointed chancellor.  Then he put his party in place.  Then he quickly repudiated numerous promises he made to get the position [NOTE. ]  Recall in what follows, that Hitler's success was made possible by the combination of public ignorance, misdirected values (absent Spirituality,) and apathy. Then he sealed his success by gaining absolute control over the Nazi enforcers who ruthlessly suppressed any opposition which, when it arose, was too little and too late. [read Rev Niemoller's famous quote]  You will soon observe these tactics in the United States unless sufficient remedies are quickly (by the end of this first decade) put into place.

The capacity for self delusion in pursuit of greed or power is the gift of an enormous Spiritually impoverished ego.  This greed is even formalized and legitimized in economic theory, "the trickle down theory."  In fact, I would underscore how how they admire themselves as proponents of their secular ideals and ambitions cloaked in the myths and capitalist words of  "free enterprise." "growth," "deregulation" and "productivity."

This plan is well underway.  It depends upon the unwitting cooperation of average Americans willing to harm innocent people when ordered by bona fide authority to do so.

Q:  You mean of course, the Milgram syndrome? [Dialogue 5: review]

P: Yes.

Q: So why then doesn't the vigilant press glom on to this and expose them for what they are trying to do?  Journalists have access to a variety of insiders who can blow the whistle in subtle ways.

P:  The journalists themselves, or their economic controllers, are moved to protect their own roots of power.  The power mongers driving this process are assisted in their goal because the very idea of such a possibility is anathema to the American mystique in the context of our myths and  history.  Like you said, its "absurd, unreal."  That abstraction called "the public" cannot relate even to the aggravated evidence of the symptoms, e.g., the gross ethical atrocity of Enron, WorldCom, and before them, the Republicans House Leader (Newt Gingrich) use of his dominance in the 105th (1995) congress to shut down the government.  The real world schemers cloak their meetings in unobtrusive activities that have no particular importance to the average apathetic or distracted citizen. [NOTE.]

By using his Republican coalition to refuse to pass either the FY (fiscal year) 1995-96 budget or continuing resolution, Gingrich caused a shut down the entire government for six days in November, 1995, [at a cost of 1.2 Billion dollars] and for almost an entire month, from December 16, 1995 through January 6, 1996 [details for scale of impact on US].  This tactic was one of a list of other questionable actions intended to enforce political objectives that were at stake after the Republican congressional victory in the 1994 election. These tactics seriously compromised the effectiveness of the entire government [evidence].  The corporate controllers must have held their breath, because a Spiritually Conscious public would have voted Gingrich and the Republicans out of office by a landslide.  Of course, they did not because the Spiritually empty Republicans under the direction of their brilliant puppet masters, Karl Rove and Andrew Card, kept them, focused on President Clinton's sexual indiscretions, a mere fart in a windstorm of corporate and political corruption.

Q:  And I have learned such sordid tactics can only succeed in the context of an electorate that is sufficiently bigoted, weak minded and focused on religious and other irrelevancies.

P: Then by manipulating the Florida election process, they had themselves appointed to office by a friendly, corporate controlled Supreme Court.  The public, still asleep, has reelected George W. Bush to a second term.   Most recent are the actoins of the Supreme Court to affirm the power of government to arrest and imprison journalists who refuse to divulge their sources when revealing government and corporate corruption.
[Review the note: Behold the elephant in the room and follow its link to the graphic that makes the elephant visible.]

Any exceptional individual who is in a position to blow the whistle on any aspect of this kind of plan will not likely do so. They may experience discomfort in what they see and feel. They don't fully understand the implication of what they are a part of, and they are intimidated to turn away by the constant need to earn a livelihood.

Q: So you say that the momentum of the process helps carry along those who may be in a position to report, but who don't fully understand the implications or scale of what they are seeing? So they justify inaction?

P: Yes.  Once the scheme passes a certain point, like a cancer, opposing members of the public (part of our society's "immune" system) with a real chance to succeed will be quickly neutralized or eliminated.  Because Spirituality is not understood in any useful way, and because it is usually confused with religion, our public education, even so called "higher" education, has not inoculated us against the impact of this apathy. By their dependence on the grants process for their research and scholarship chairs, universities have been coopted by big business as recognized as early as the 1970s. [Ridgeway, 1976]  In fact, universities play into the hands of the schemers by insisting that economics and politics are "sciences."  This questionable claim suggests a link to some kind of inexorable universal laws.  But all the alleged laws of economics and politics are only contrivances of the human intellect energized by the human will.  The will is in turn controlled by the self serving ego.

Further, plans are succeeding to enervate pubic education by draining its already weak financial support into competing sectarian interests through voucher initiatives.    Like the presence of PCC [premature cognitive commitment, Dialogue 4] that trapped the predator fish into starving in the midst of plenty, this mental block is perpetuated by low HIP [Human Information Processing] competence with its corresponding low Spiritual Consciousness among much of the populace.  Any serious opponent who alleges the presence of such an outrageous plot would swiftly be discounted, mocked and dismissed.  However, the Secret Society of Power Mongers recognizes that their initial advantage dare not be exposed by any premature or clumsy orchestration of their plan.

As of now, but not for long, they are still vulnerable to discovery and corrective action by an aroused and informed public.

Q: What is a "Builder?"

P: Recall from Dialogue 6 [Karma and Reincarnation] that the Builders are Spiritual Entities who are being instructed by the Master Watcher in preparation for their worldly assignments after being reborn to earth.  The assignment of this group of Builders is to counter the evils originating through this plot of the SSPBPM.  These students will become the next generation of Builders to be born to earth.

Q: I don't understand how this works.

P: First, let us suppose that over every shoulder there is a Spiritual guide, an entity I will call a 'Watcher.'  The role of this Watcher is to observe the path of the Soul (or group of Souls) for which they are responsible. The Watcher keeps track, and guides each evolving Soul along their earthly journey, to the the extent the Soul is open to this guidance which is experienced as intuition, or the still, small, voice within. The Builders (who are advanced Souls with well developed intuitive skills or capacity for Wisdom) are to relate to their Watcher through prayer and meditative practices as they develop their assignments.  The capacity for them to fulfill their assignments can only occur with reference to the data only found in the embracing Realms of Supra System information

Q:  Well now, here is another wild fantasy, but I'll continue to play the game.  So I can guess from what I have learned, to be qualified as "Builder" I must retain some awareness of my Spiritual link to the Supra Consciousness.  While on earth I must be able to detect and follow the guidance of my "Watcher."   Correct?

P: Yes.  A Builder is an advanced Soul who returns to earth to carry out a specific assignment to either counter evil forces, and/or creates conditions which bring more of humanity into Spiritual Consciousness.  A Builder does the good work of the world, makes major contributions to human well being, and especially, is a positive force for harmony and Spiritual awakening for those they are guided to influence.

Q: Ok. Then you and I  are each sitting here in the presence of our 'Watchers.'  But do I know any Builders?  Do you? Are you a Builder? So, in any event, how does the public become alert as a result of the Builders, let alone aroused to action?
...
P: Because of the lost memory link to our Spiritual Source at birth, it is not given for us to directly know whether we fit that status or not. [review The Primal Dream of the Infant]  But we may be candidates to be a Builder if we feel the pain and injustice of the world, if see a a niche where we can make a positive difference to advance the causes of fairness, social justice and applied Love, to be a blessing to those in need, to walk the path of Jesus who was a potent liberal [evidence], and by having the courage to risk taking those steps that can make a difference, regardless of our personal convenience.  It is not for me to answer your question. It is for me, and you, to follow the guidance of our hearts, for it is from the heart connection that the Builder receives his/her instructions from the Master Watcher, that Spiritual Being that orchestrates the collective actions of all the Builders working on earth.

Q: So you suggest these 'Watchers' are the means by which the power monger's little plan becomes known in the larger Spiritual Realm?  But why don't the Watchers assigned to these power mongers simply stop them?

P: For the Watcher assigned to anybody to have influence, the Spiritual Consciousness within the person must be open to these Spiritual influences.  Watchers cannot dictate.  We have free will to learn from our decisions and the experiences of exercising that will.  The impact of such experiences nourish the unfolding of our Spiritual Consciousness.  Therefore the watchers cannot simply override the free will given to any human being.  They can only influence that will when and where a person is receptive to it.   This is why evil is so persistent in the world.  A person must first have sufficient Spiritual Awakening to be aware of any incoming Spiritual message.  The must be practiced at Meditation and Prayer.  Remember our parable of  The Master Power Broker and His Victims? [review.]

Q:  Yes.  So we are are like his victims.  Except we are offered these choices by life, not by a wizard.  From time to time as we make our crucial life's decisions we create a Karma that meets us at the right time and place for our perfect Justice.  I am actually beginning to get the picture after all of our dialogues.  So unless we are sufficiently awakened Spiritually, we do not receive this Spiritual guidance. We are less likely to choose correctly, and we become a victim to the resulting negative Karma.

P: Good, but remember, because we have free will, even though the plan of the power mongers may not be in accord with Spiritual Principle, their plan can go forward nevertheless--unless it is countered by an opposing force.   But that means, that at some point, there will be an accounting, a devastating experience for those who plot to bring evil to innocents made victim to their plan.  Then the only questions will be about the nature of the fallout, and how many and who gets hurt.  The function of the Builders is to create conditions the prevent such atrocities, and to heal the fallout from atrocities that have already occurred.

Q: So the same thing could be said of Jesus.  He too would be a Master Builder.  Wow!  This is really getting good.  A cosmic melodrama is unfolding!  Tell more about this Builder creature?

P: As I have already said, the Builder is a Spiritual Soul who has become highly developed in Spiritual Consciousness as the result of many sojourns on earth. But with each incarnation, Spiritual breakthroughs become easier, stronger and more potent in each subsequent life. Recall the Allegory of The Seven Lives of Job.  Their advanced Consciousness allows Builders to be born to earth with a much shallower boundary of forgetfulness. [recall the Primal Dream of the Infant]  They are born more instinctively linked and more open to a reawakening of their Spiritual Consciousness.

As you learned from the Parable of The House of Three Rooms [revisit], the Builders function from a living in a mostly Third Room Consciousness while most of us dwell in the first and second rooms. Thus they are more capable to act in the advancement of the Spiritual awakening of humanity.  Those who are so Spiritually endowed that they can be called Avatars  (Such as Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tse) are rarely reborn, but there are many in the intermediate stages who come here to serve humanity, and for themselves to further grow Spiritually.  [Definition of Seven Spiritual Levels]

Q: So would you say people like Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King are Builders?

P: Most likely.  But don't be trapped into thinking that only religious figures are candidates. Builders function the world over, regardless of any religious orientation into which they happen to be reborn.  Far more likely to have been Builders are those who have acted selflessly in mundane pursuits, but who have acted courageously and forcefully to change humanity for the better.  Albert Schweitzer, perhaps the contemporary musician Paul McCartney (former Beatle who passed in 2001,) Ralph Nader, Barbara Streisand, Shirley McClain, George Soros, Sir John Templeton, Jimmy Hightower, and so on and on. The list of those who would not be defined as "religious" or even "Spiritual" especially by themselves, is actually very long.  They have in common that they are visible only to the material intellect from their list of achievements that bring good, harmony, healing, and love into the world.

Nevertheless, these are highly endowed Spiritual agents.  They are only the most recent of a long line of gifted persons who have benefited humanity. [re Table of Mystical Succession]  These Builders have been responsible for most of the great intellectual, social, cultural, economic and Spiritual achievements of humanity. But there are many, many more whose important contributions have never come to public awareness.  Those are the Builders never seek public fame and try to avoid even being noticed if they can.

Q: I am now aware that such "Builder" (liberal) types often tend to be hated by the right wing religionists [definition] and political extremists.

P: This is one clue to identifying those elements of our society that may be enlisted in the cause of the secret society of power mongers that your are about to be introduced to.  In such roles, they are most likely to be dupes, and are ignorant of the nature of their roles and what they are playing into. Recall the story of The Evil Puppet Master and his stooges.  [revisit]  But on the other hand, it is far more more important that we recognize the presence of those who are likely to be Builders and find ways to support them.

Q: My God!  How different my life will be to do that compared to the impoverished consciousness I had when I first arrived here.

P:  'Judge not lest ye be judged' includes yourself. But pay attention. Most of those who serve the Builder's function are not known, even to themselves.  They live like the character you found in the "Allegory of the Nullbenign," [revisit] whose role is entirely invisible to the public and even to themselves.

P: One hope for our nation's salvation is for ordinary Americans to recognize the presence of Builders in their social context and support them in every way they can.  How they can do this will become clear as we move along.  As presented in the allegory of The Primal Dream of the Infant, [revisit] a Builder is confronted with the problem of first recovering his/her lost memory of their sacred assignment in the face of strong ego owned intellect and social pressures to the contrary.

NOTE: The author argues that already, there are individuals properly positioned in the corporate world, in government, and in the enforcer communities who, if they can fully understand the Principles of OT/MP and its implications for them and their children, will act decisively as intervenors against the plot you are about to observe unfolding. They will first act as whistle blowers, then become disruptive forces within the evil system in which the find themselves, and/or  they will move to use their influence external to their system to counter, neutralize, and correct this developing threat.

Are you in such a position? Are you a Builder?
Can you help? Is that your destiny?

From such a position, and the closer you are to the executive levels of management, once you have a C/consciousness of the whole, you can verify that aspects of the following are more than just an abstract allegory!  Remember, what your senses and mind detect is only one piece of a complex puzzle.  Use the Principles of OT/MP to assess evidence found in the media and discover how other parts of this plot are now at work.  Remember, no intellectual scheme can be made to work and remain stable unless valid within the Spiritual LAW.
 

BEGIN
THE INFERNAL CATECHISM OF THE
 SECRET SOCIETY OF
POWER BROKERS AND POWER MONGERS (SSPBPM)

.
...

[RETURN from the Allegory of the SSPBPM]

Q: OK!  But the first question aching to get out is, is it Real.  Is there really such a group.  Is there really such a plan.  It's all too tidy, even though you present is as a melodrama.

P: Yes! Its Real enough to destroy us, and sooner rather than later. To someone whose consciousness is locked into the establishment myths and view of the world, it may indeed all seem absurd. That is the goal of the SSPBPM.

Any such a claim must appear to be absurd.  But look at the headlines.  More important, look behind the headlines.  I insist that there exists such a process that can fairly be called a "conspiracy."  But think of it in Holistic terms.  Now this conspiracy it is not a script, like some kind of grade C movie, not like the neat little melodrama I just offered you.   I have already said that there are no stereotypic groups of evil men holed up around a card table in a smoke filled back room of a sleazy joint. Nor are there scenes of slick CEOs huddled in modern high rise, smoke filled, Board Rooms.  Although the latter does get closer to the Reality.

In Reality, there are a constellation of very powerful men, most likely involving bankers or serving the boards of banks. They have reached "understandings" with each other as to who owns what turf.  They are intimate with the financing of politics in the country.  The are well connected to every other major CEO and politician in this country.

These men find it, temporarily at least, in their best interests to share power. But you may be sure that they watch each other suspiciously like the Gingham Dog and Calico Cat (who had such a terrible spat.)  Like any mafia or drug lord who has reached power through orchestrating a stable balance of fear and manipulation can agree, it is still better to have peace than war.

But the nature of such alliances are always fragile, and reeking of suspicion and distrust. At any given moment the stability could collapse into a murderous free for all.  The nature of this conspiracy behaves more like an orchestra, where once the players understand the rules that create the music they buy into.  If they want to play, depending upon the nature of their economic instrument, each knows their part.  Further the cost to everyone is known if one musician dares to depart from that music. This mutual threat and interdependence unfortunately assures considerable stability for such a group on the short run, especially when their early initiatives enjoy success.

Q: So its like--well, there are powerful men out there who exclusively promote their self interest by undercutting the government, using their lawyers to beat up on each other, controlling the media, aggregating power amplifiers, lying to and bilking the public, buying or destroying the people's government, consuming our national resources, all the while teaching the public to promote the same myths that support them while they protect each others flanks.

That is really a dismal, and I must say a cynical, portrayal of our vaunted Judeo-Christian capitalist society.

P: Cynical?  Not if accurate.

Q: But then here is my really big question, how do you know these things, Huh?

P:  Suppose I have been given Spiritual guidance from the realm of the Spiritual Supra Consciousness?  Would you accept that now?

Q:  No! Oh!  My! Don't pull that one on me.  You're too much flesh and blood.   Surely you do not claim that?  Here I was just beginning to accept the potency of your rational mind to build your conspiracy on some reasonable rational ground and you blow it away with that incredible suggestion.  Are you serious?

P:  Well my young friend, we have up to this point only been discussing the flaws of the intellect.  We have remained pretty much in the realm of mental consciousness as I developed the three traps of mind.  You recall them?

Q: Of course, agendas, the paradox of communication and HIP competence.

P: Then the SSPBPM is a logical result of these traps working to create the kind of appealing but short sighted conspiracy by those members of the SSPBPM who devote their intellects to covet and acquire worldly power.

But now I want to really challenge you to accept the unseen and subtle world of Spiritual Information and Power.  The bad news is that you must yet act to transcend the serious limits of your excellent rational mind to grasp the Reality of the Spiritual world I have been referring to.  But the good news is that once we have that first breakthrough then this realm becomes progressively accessible to you as well as to anyone who pursues the discipline.

Q:  I've played along this far.  So ok, I await with baited breath.  What are you about to propose?

Q: So if I dare to become a Builder, I see my work is cut out for me.

P:  Yes. But, the work I trust you refer to is not "out there."   The work that must be done first is inner work, the awakening of your full Spiritual Consciousness.  That goal is the required empowering achievement without which you can be no more effective than those already invested in noble causes, but who remain locked within their invisible intellectual limits.

But you must now suspect, if you don't yet actually know, that the rewards of joy and fulfillment for striving for that goal transcends the limits of any language to portray.  You have listened to the Principles announced by the Master Watchers to the Secret Society of Builders preparing to reenter the world of humanity at the end of the secret meeting of the power mongers.  You are not blind to the costs that also must be paid for those who dare to seek and claim that role.  Do you recall the sacred quest of Milarepa?  [review allegory]

Q: Yes, but so idealistic, a fantasy.

P: But a Fantasy made Real in his life. But think of the alternative. Is that is what you like to do, your original plan, to serve the SSPBPM?  This plan of the SSPBPM, is it good or evil as you now understand it?

Q: Well it has to be evil of course.

P: Then it needs to be opposed, yes?  Are you up to it?  Remember the country clubs, the private jets, the beautiful men and women of the material world at your beck and call.  How appropriate that the pop singer, Madonna, described herself as the "material girl."  They are yours to claim as well.  Are you prepared to reject these allures?  For if you do reject them in your heart of hearts, then you accept the tests of Milarepa. [re "A Yogi Named Milarepa"]  By meeting these tests you conquer you own self to equip yourself take on the Power Mongers in their own lair?

Q: But how?

P:  Listen carefully.  No intellectually conceived plan alone can be made to work because of its inherent Spiritual limits.  I am aware you are not yet ready to fully accept this assertion. In that regard, time will be your most patient teacher.  But bear with me.  Do you agree that all of their criteria are anchored in their sensate agendas, are conceived and communicated within the limits of the paradox of communication, and they are entirely vulnerable within the constraints of their narrowly held HIP competence. These flaws deny them access to perceive the Whole of the Reality that actually affects their plan?

Q: Well, yes.

P: Then concentrate now.  Any intellectually designed coping strategy will suffer the same limits, no matter how nobel or well intended.  Further, competing strategies will de-energize and confound the effectiveness of each of them taken separately. The best plan must be a hybrid plan designed by combining the elements of the others.  That hybrid that will not be able to emerge because the ego intellect will not permit it.  For each competing contributor, their ego's plan must prevail.  Therefore, you must first defeat the ego, yours first, and then the ego's of those you hope to influence.

What am I telling you here?   You can transcend the pits of diversion and constraints that has been laid out by the power mongers, but not by following the intellectual plan in your head.  In fact there is likely to be some number of key persons in our society right now who are already positioned to not only detect and verify the true nature of aspects of this conspiracy, but who will not be able to orchestrate an effective counter conspiracy because of their own Spiritual inadequacies.

Q: Why not?

P: They need your help.  Because each of them in their innocent ignorance of the Spiritual dynamics to which they must submit, will pursue the only plan in their mental consciousness, their own limited and possibly defective ego's plan.  Thus they crash around in their reality, spend vast amounts of time and resources, and endure considerable torment and frustration even to the point of despair.  In this they are like the "Tree that Forgot its Roots," spending their life in service to the wrong goal

Q: Why do they not transcend it?

P:  Your cannot transcend any block that is not first recognized as such in consciousness.  Has this claim not been my constant theme?  Where have you been for eight dialogues?  All of what I have been sharing with you is why.  They will fail because they cannot see beyond their conceptual boundaries of their materialist technical world. That is the dark glass of their self serving ego's imposed constraints. These are the self limiting rules in which they function in the absence of Spiritual Consciousness.  The political boundaries are even more confounding.  Further, and worse, they are not in sensate contact with others of their kind who have also detected elements of this evil in other areas and helplessly want to remove them. They may not even know these allies exist.

Listen carefully now as we end these dialogues.  Any plan to cope with the power mongers must respect the following conditions:

any Spiritually grounded Plan must exist as an iterative and stochastic process [a sequence of steps where each step learns and is guided from the preceding step]
it must be managed under the General Systems Theory principles of a "Holistic experiment"  [Mitroff et al, 1973; van Gigch, 1978]
the leaders of such a project must repress their normal ego drives for power, control, and personal acknowledgment
their Plan must acknowledge and apply the Spiritual factors present in and among their Plan's creators, implementers, beneficiaries, and the larger ecology in which it moves forward
since the ends can never be justified by any Spiritually empty or invalid means, Spiritual Ethics must be evident in every concept, tactic, and aspect of the strategic plan from which it evolves.
Spiritual practices of deep prayer, meditation, and thanksgiving must be an integral and active part of the living culture created by those who design and implement any Spiritually valid Plan.

P: Those involved in such a Plan need help from the likes of their staff, such as you can soon become.  They need to create a linking network of Spiritually awakened like values across many diverse conceptual, organizational, cultural, ethnic, and geographic boundaries. To accomplish this, each of them needs to first discover and develop the missing ingredients, first within themselves.  One missing ingredient is Spiritual Insight with its  Holistic Wisdom, that empowers, insight, courage, and determination.

P: For you, Spiritual insight begins when you first surrendered your ego and its carnal goals and become determined to enter into the depth of Spiritual Meditation, and to remain there for extended lengths of time. I have recognized your progress, more than you give yourself credit for.  Your ego fears your success on this path.  Let your mind be at Peace.  Then be amazed. The power of the Holy Spirit within you [Butterworth, 1968] moves you to to find those very persons and groups you need to serve.  They are waiting for you, though they don't know that now.  You will discover the powerful Truth behind what we some times say that sounds like such a cliché, "Let go, and Let GOD."  Only then does success, personal fulfillment, joy and happiness become your constant companions.

P: Keep in mind the following. Most of our citizens do not bother to read or accept this evidence in the western media that points to the serious encroachment on our freedoms.  They do not detect these presence of social evil even when it is right before them, even as they or their loved ones are already being afflicted by it. They are made especially resistant when they are enforced and seduced to contribute as servants to its cause.  The don't know or even care to know that it exists. Many who do read and feel concern are not in a position to know what to do, let alone have access to the conduits of political and economic power required to take effective actions against these forces. Those who do have that potential power to meet this challenge are often caught up in a double bind of loyalty.  Then they feel forced to minimize, discount, or "wink" at the evil. Otherwise they may sacrifice their jobs and fail to survive economically, unable to serve their own just self-interest and the interests of those for whom they feel responsible.

Even those who recognize and fear the evidence of evil are not organized to deal with it even if they have the courage. The political structure our founding fathers created is already being compromised by today's power broker and power monger coalitions through their private economic and political networks. They apply their pressure through their visible lobbies and political action committees. The create outrageous distractions such as the idiotic debate about same sex marriages being orchestrated by the religious and political right to take energy away from focus on Real threats like significant corporate theft of our rights and livelihoods.

Right wing media screams indefensible and sensationalist simples claiming them to be cause and effect.  Such claims serve to energize those citizens of low or empty Spiritual Consciousness. Then they are diverted from the conditions that are in dire need of correction, e.g., their knee jerk emotional reaction to Clinton's sexual transgressions while they ignore the massive corruption that now infects the top echelons of the Bush government.

The public, only because of  Spiritual lack or anemia,  is kept ignorant, confused, off balance and out of touch as the complex forces in our nation's True Reality work against their Real best interests. The tools the distracters apply include the skillful use of inflammatory rhetoric, myth management, and highly visible diversionary non issues that are put forward as key issues, e.g., "the liberals," "the government, "the national debt," "abortion rights," "gay lifestyle" issues, and so forth.

Remember? That's the stuff of the Secret Society of Power Mongers, born in the womb of corporate mega mergers, and protected by public myth messages that instill hope, promise glitter, and which are designed to assuage a variety of the public's fears they themselves have created and inflamed in order to exploit.  They appeal to the public's most ego grounded self serving values. Like a metasticised cancer, all steadily gain ground. Their acquisitive goals are served even by legitimate social policy, given the confusion of a distracted public. Now examine this figure that I shared with you at the beginning of or dialogues:

P:  How do you explain this figure now? [left side]

Q: Wow, now I see it as rich in information I was oblivious to at the beginning. This figure relates to the ego overlays in the context of the nature of C/consciousness you presented in our first dialogue.  But now I have had considerable preparation to interpret the concepts of overlays in a fare more sophisticated and integrated manner.

P: What have you learned?

Q: The concentric circles of expanding C/consciousness range from the lowest level (Level B) that is totally dominated by the ego and its agendas, up through the top (Level A.) At that uppermost level, Spiritual Consciousness remains pervasive as you move outward from the spiritual core so that even the base ego overlays of agendas, communication, and HIP can be controlled by Spiritual Consciousness. But the lower ring, "B", is placed at the bottom of this cone of C/consciousness indicating that the less Spiritual Consciousness one has developed, the less capacity thy have to override the dominance of the powerful ego and its three overlays on C/consciousness.  This vulnerability can be changed depending upon the extent there is an awakened Spiritual Consciousness within the person. Only then can the ego be completely defeated.

P: Correct. But the complete level of Illuminated Consciousness is achieved only by the Avatar.  Its the level of 700 described in the Hawkins' paradigm. of power vs force.  Continue.

Q: The concentric circles at the bottom of the cone (Level B) show that at the initiation of Spiritual unfoldment, the Spiritual Core is almost completely covered over by the ego's agendas, communication and HIP.  The person at this level has almost no Spiritual  control over the plots and demands of their ego. Their behavior is completely controlled by the self serving intellect who is focused on the material world.  Persons at this level represent the most base kind of behaviors and are dangerous people for a civilized world, especially if they are intelligent and motivated by the lust for power and control.

P: You can see where the baboon society would fit, and how that bestial culture describes those humans who are little developed Spiritually.

Q:  I notice that the "A" level is colored blue, while the "B" level is colored from red at the center to yellow as you move to the outer rings.  What does that symbolize?

P: The change at the B (base) level represents the progressive intellectual development of the individual, but only when exposed to such nourishment.  The person at the center, represented by red, is the most bestial type of individual, controlled only by its instinctive biological drives.  There is where you find the likes of the baboon society, and its human expression in such beasts as Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, and the North Korean despot, KIM Chong Il, and certain of our most right wing religionists and politicians.

Q: I see these types as having the most capacity and will to do evil, and that they are strengthen in achieving their goals because of the Milgram Syndrome and the legions of dupes who will be willing to serve such  cause. I recall you developed this concept in our fifth dialogue.  This is really scary.

P: But as you move outward to the yellow rings, the intellectual potential of the person becomes developed, so that their drives are modified by their increasing applications of intelligence.  Advanced intelligence makes possible the capacity to interpret the first clues in mental consciousness that there may be a Universe of higher Spiritual Intelligence beyond the ego intellect.

Q: Now I understand why you accepted me, I was ripe for such influence.  Correct?

P: Yes. But the very thought of this Truth causes the ego to man its defenses and employ a variety of tactics to divert the intellect from any further contact.  You can give testimony to the presence and power of those very forces that have tormented you during our dialogues.  This is why a genuine Spiritual awakening is so slow and unlikely without an initial positive influence and disciplined conscious effort on the part of a Pilgrim.

Intelligent, but Spiritually empty, persons are the most cunning and ruthless representatives of our humanity, and are by far the most dangerous to the progress and survival of a truly civilized humanity.  This is were you will find the Hitlers, the Goerings, the and the Stalin's of history.  They are feared because they are immune to reasoning based on higher Spiritual Principle. Efforts by those of higher Spiritual Consciousness who would reach out to negotiate and accommodate are perceived by such Spiritual empty types as weaklings to be exploited.

Q: And that is why you insist that, given that they first ignore all educational efforts and appeals to negotiate, they must then be ruthlessly and utterly destroyed?

P: Yes. They cannot be trusted to agree to anything because any effort by others to offer accepted by them as only a tactical ploy. Such negotiated initiatives, when agreed to by a power monger or his advocate and supporter, are agreed only as a tactical ploy to make their victims more passive, more vulnerable, and to nurture and take advantage of their perceived weakness and uncertainty.

Q: So it seems that there is a consistent principle at work.

P: In this figure [left] you see the results of that principle described.  There is an ever upward advance of Spiritual Consciousness, but it moves very slowly and erratically, being based on and limited by the preponderance of Spiritually illuminated individuals.  But the  intellect which can both feed on and be fed by the ego's management of the senses, can advance more rapidly.  Our society is geared up to encourage that intellectual advancement because it is not only a "good" in the abstract, but required for successful business. Hence, today we have our high tech civilizations and its materialist accomplishments, but which are bereft of a fully viable Spiritual Consciousness and its capacity to regulate greed.  Hence there are the tribulations in the world. Recall the cones of humanity's C/consciousness I presented to you in our first dialogue (on C/consciousness.)  By reviewing them now at the conclusion of our dialogues, you have a powerful frame of reference to better understand their significance and what must yet be done

Q: Then what does "C" represent in the first figure you showed me [repeated below]?

P:  "C" represents the most difficult dimension of the figure to represent in any such two dimensional visual display.  "C" is the set of labels that define the nature of each of the expanding intellectual rings the evolve from the center.  Agendas is the first overlay on our Spiritual core you will recall from our initial dialogues.  Then Communication ,and then HIP complete the three traps of the ego overlays.  Then expresses various worldly involvement of increasing social complexity.

Each of these rings can be described as being influenced by some level of Spiritual control as you move up the cone of expanding c/Consciousness.  At the bottom of the cone and center of rings "B" there is almost no Spiritual Control.  At the top of the cone at level "A"  they are almost entirely under Spiritual Control, from the core to the outermost intellectual ring..

If you return to Level "B" again, you note that the fifth ring is labeled "reactive emotions," the next "selective memory," the next "lifestyle values" and so on.  This establishes a pattern that, begins at the base agendas, and moves outward on the rings to concerns with "political activism"  at the outermost ring.  We find increasing intellectual sophistication which is represented by the progressive change from red to yellow at level B.

Q:  I'll bet I could come up with a different set of labels for "C", especially toward the outer rings.

P:  Good! I encourage you to do that for their is no "correct" set of labels, nor is there any one that can satisfy more than one set of criteria for what you choose to label.  However, there is a general principle that must be followed to maintain the integrity of the relationships.  The principal is that whatever the label, there should be a continuity that ranges from simple, base and primal at the core, to sophisticated, subtle, complex and elegant at the outer ring.

I chose "political activism" for my most complex choice as the forum for the ultimate Spiritually directed intellectual sophistication.  This is because only a highly awakened Spiritual Consciousness is adequate to take on and successfully intervene in the status quo of power politics.  However, you can find in this figure any clarification that defends my original claim.  Recall that I said that "No intellectual solution can be found without a critical mass of the public first acquiring and illuminated Spiritual Consciousness."

Q:  I think I understand.  As also shown in the first dialogue we had on C/consciousness [re cones of C], most of the public is somewhere in the part labeled "humanity" around the middle and lower half of the cone of expanding c/Consciousness.  That means that most of their intellectual activity will be in service to their egos and not to a Spirituality valid cause.

P: Correct!

Q:  Wow! Far out!  Now I think I understand!  This is the way it has always been and is now.  People argue and fight for their ego's representation of an ideal politics, economics, or anything else.  In spite of the positive ideals and goals that some of them hold, they are not only failing to serve the Principles of Spiritual Truth, they have no idea (Spiritually) what they are doing at all.  They do not know that they are crashing around by being driven by their ego needs. No wonder there must eventually be a complete disintegration of civilization as things now stand.

And it makes no difference how nobel the ambitions of some small number of these advocates are, for they will go under themselves because they do not understand the fundamental Spiritual Principles that must be in place to empower even a valid cause. Neither do they understands that there there must be sufficient numbers of such decision makers, a critical mass, to permit progress.

P: You are beginning to understand, and this understanding is going to alter the agenda you had for your career when you first came here.

Q: And to what point besides my now unknown career are you going to direct all this evidence?

P: To repeat the major assertion of the Mystical Paradigm, no intellectual solution to any of our ego driven problems can be found in the absence of a viable Spiritual Consciousness, not in individuals, groups, organizations, institutions nor in the greater society. This figure [left] offers a tiny window into the abundant secular evidence. High Spiritual Consciousness creates the necker cube reality at the top of the cone.  But must of us life with the constraints of marginal Spiritual Consciousness indicated by the minimal necker cubes consciousness at the bottom f the cone. This evidence helps explain the presence of extensive Spiritual corruption throughout the major social and economic mechanisms that operate this country.

The political implications ought be evident. There is a history of critiques of corporate and other social abuse that have been compiled by credible scholars and reporters in their respective fields. [see Appendix: draft position paper summarizing selected critiques identifying corporate abuse  through 1993.] They are included here as only a sample of credible social criticism that has been available to the public since the second half of the 20th century.  But what I have chosen for this document is more than adequate to establish the principle and claim my point. Let anyone come in behind me and try to amplify, clarify, and focus on the foundations of this initiative toward a different conclusion. They cannot. The harder they try, the more they will be forced to agree, perhaps in ways more compelling that I have been able to argue.

Q: I still have many questions. In that context, will you show the prognosis for our quality of life? To what extent do the present social, economic and political circumstances mirror what level of Spiritual health? Where are we with respect to the possibilities of Transfiguration, or the doom of oblivion?  You say that life is RAW, and the LAW must be reflected in "the law"  of human kind.  Who among our leadership knows these things? More importantly, who even cares?

P: To be forewarned is to be forearmed. Each example offered as evidence has been reviewed mostly by a members of that narrow segment of our population that have a "professional" interest in the specialty area. Business people focus on business, economists on economics, and educators on education, and so on. A few activists read more widely but they are usually disconnected from the broad spectrum of institutions that ought move and shake with change. Sometimes they are connected to institutions that have a near term vested interest in ignoring or even hiding this criticism.

Q: For example?

P: For example, suppose a journalist or political commentator serves in an organization owned by an international power monger. But the typical voter (or should be voter,) the person at the local hangout, or church meeting, will not have heard of, let alone debated the implications of most of these critics. Even if they detect danger and may view the ominous headlines each day with an incipient nervousness, they have no paradigm (due to their frozen consciousness) to justify their becoming any further involved. These is strong ego pleasure not to malinge their friends from who they derive social comfort.

The real economic violence has not yet encroached close enough to enough of the general public or their loved ones to make the evidence worthy of risk and action. Like the shrill of sirens we hear through our night time windows, we know that suffering and heartache are abroad in the land, but they are owned by some disconnected, depersonalized other.

Because of the mental trap of HIP (Human Information Processing,) most of us only hear the most strident siren songs of simplistic political solutions of our complex needs, regardless where found on a political spectrum (e.g., ala the likes of Ross Perot, Ollie North, Michael Savage, John Brekenridge, Rush Limbaugh.) In the Hawkins' Paradigm I mentioned in our first Dialogue, the factors that nourish the unfortunate conditions I will now describe are mostly found at the levels of force, below the "200" level of consciousness energy.

These conditions result mostly from force driven consciousness levels of shame, guilt, grief, fear, desire, anger and pride. Transformation will require society's advancement to the beginning of Spiritual consciousness which are reasonably achievable at Consciousness levels above Hawkins' 200, the level dominated by courage, then neutrality (250), willingness (310), acceptance (350), reason (200 and Love (500.) Those of low consciousness mindlessly shop for nourishment from the most promising accessible Messiah, even if only a talk show host. Anyone we would tune into must first be on our consciousness wavelength and proclaiming what we want to be true. Unfortunately, Ben Franklin's famous saying has truth, "Birds of a feather flock together."

[NOTE: As more readers become familiar with Hawkins' work, a dilemma is created for the conventional use of the word "power." Hawkins defines "Power" as being resident in the implicate order and thus acts internally within a system to energize its effectiveness in the world. He defines "force" as the management of the external or explicate order as applied to coercively control any external system.

My normative use of "power" (absent of any Spiritual dimension) is equivalent to Hawkins' use of the word "force" where relevant to coercing political, economic and social degrees of freedom. "Empowerment" as I use the term is closer to Hawkins' definition of Power.

[When I use the word "Power" (directed and validated by Spirit), it will always have a capital letter "P" and if colored, will be  colored blue.  Otherwise, it will have the lower case "p", or "power" as in Hawkins' use of the term.]

The Mystical Paradigm argues that those who calibrate at C/consciousness levels below 200 on the Hawkins scale cannot fully detect important information embedded in consciousness messages at or above 200. When they do, it is devoid of Spiritual significance.  They will be unlikely to correctly interpret the personal significance of any of our dialogues regardless how their Real needs could eventually be served. The only "messiah" that low consciousness types can pick up on their ultra narrow band emotional receivers will be haranguing in the deceptive sounds of the simples.

Then the three traps of mind yawn open--waiting. "Turn back to God!" "Elect me!" "[name your favorite hate object]" is the root of our problems," "Back to basics." "Praise to the three R's." "Get rid of government!" "Deregulate everything," "Buy the election with tax refunds,"  "Eliminate 'the national debt.'" Then we are supposed to feel better if we permit a worldly messiah to come to power and act on our behalf in service to these appeals. But these tactics are the antithesis of Spiritual Consciousness, and the broad path that leads to destruction--a demonstration of the promise, "the wages of sin (error) is death."

Q: Well, I'm ready to reconsider my future.

P: First, this constant reminder--remember, the importance of money is not as a medium of exchange. Money is an economic power marker that defines and limits a system's degrees of freedom to apply social forces.

The rules of money are created by power interests to solely to defend and expand their power. They selectively set and enforce the rules of human contrived economic law. They act to hide the Real roots of their power from you and me, even as we experience the adverse social and economic impact of their applied economic forces.

But all institutional power is only the extension of an individual's power. Power extends through the coalitions he/she has created to define and orchestrate that power through force (applied power.) The use of this force deeply affects the freedoms of average individuals and families who are totally vulnerable to the abusive uses of any of these forces.

Q: I now understand that social commentary about business, economics, education, communities and politics should be read as wholly concerned with the personal power of those who benefit from their institutional power amplifiers (whether labeled as bank, corporation, cartel, or conglomerate.)  These institutional extensions of personal power are used to acquire and direct the fortunes of the controlling power broker/monger, and affect our well being in the world. These are not abstract concepts. Their impact is Real.

P: In what I have shared, I have only attacked predatory capitalism, not the positive capitalistic benefits derived from an individual's initiative whose risks are properly rewarded by reasonable financial achievements. Any replacement model must preserve those positive dimensions. But examples of this definition of capitalism, are decreasing as a minority.  The paraphrased cliché that "It takes power (money) to create power," is more true than ever.  The true entrepreneurs, those achieving solely on their genius, initiative and courage is now mostly a lost artifact of our early American mythology.  The skill, creativity and energy of today's inventors, engineers and scientists are mostly owned by corporations to which they have been made creative and economic slaves.

For more than a Century, beginning about the time of in our industrialization with W. H. Vanderbilt's famous expletive in 1882, "The public be damned!" and with the arrival and dominance of the "robber barons" of the early 20th century, we have increasingly forged our economics and national polices in a Spiritually impoverished vacuum.  The following quote written at the beginning of our current economic decline, while directed at economists, also applies to any exploiter or apologist for the destructive excesses of predatory capitalism.

"Economists themselves, like most specialists, normally suffer from a metaphysical blindness, assuming that theirs is a science of absolute and invariable truths, without any presuppositions. Some go so far as to claim that economic laws are as free from 'metaphysics' or 'values' as the law of gravitation." [Shumacher, 1973]

P: With Schumacher, from a Spiritual perspective, I assert strongly that the machinations of economics, and the actions of a community of Power Brokers/Mongers, should not be first concerned with rules that simply affect mediums of exchange. We should first be concerned with the relationship of how Power and force affect all human systems. We must now first ask, does the use of personal power through any medium first serve human needs with respect for Spiritual Truth?

Those who do worry and speak about such concerns publicly, talk mostly among themselves, wringing their hands. But lawyers, economists, business people, bankers, educators, media and politicians seem only to be vitally concerned about the flow of worldly power. Because they are perfect servants of their own invisible egos, they constantly assess (with their intellectual paradigms) how the various indicators of power, of which control of money is preeminent as a marker, affects them. In the face of their most impassioned personal ambitions, life still is and always will be RAW.  What do you suppose economic laws say about this?

Q: Well let me try to think now in terms of the Mystical Paradigm. The economic laws of power, far from being natural, or neutral, are almost solely contrived by and for the benefit of some community or network of power brokers. Thus secular power and empowerment become the principal determinants for both economic and emotional well being.  Because they solely under ego control, for such people  their groups, organizations and institutions are perceived only as power amplifiers. Abusive power, whether by Rambo's primal laying on of hands as an enforcer, or by means of an elegantly destructive coalition of economics, information, industrial complexes, and media are forged by the master power monger to impose chronically hostile forces on its victims. Correct?

P: Correct. The Reality of the LAW under girds and defines our national health, first Spiritual and then, consequently, emotionally and economically. I have tried to show you some evidence of our declining social health in this mirror of TRUTH which is the root of our social Realty.

Q: So if the collective harvest of the civil and economic law "sucks," then so does our way of life, and our experience of it.  This is a subtle one.  For most of us, we can still enjoy and be distracted or mollified by the many material benefits of our technological society.  Unless we or our family are directly affected by unemployment, or lack of access to competent health care or education, or have to accept debased or poorly paid kinds of work, we do not Really relate to the impact of these negative factors on our lives.  We react only to the symptoms. We do not connect these conditions to the overall health or the future social stability of our nation.  I confess, this does seem to be the case for more and more of us, even without the terrorists.  One need only observe the TV headlines and front page stories in the news media.

P: Exactly. There are a variety of myths that under girds all of the activities of our society. In the early periods of this country, life was simple and so were the laws. Each responsible adult in a community could intimately know each other and the system that affected them.  Hence the concept of a "jury of one's peers" which is a mockery in today's courtrooms. Each person had to depend on each other, in order to survive and thrive. Each person served a crucial social function: farmer, rancher, iron smith, craftsman, teacher, doctor, store keeper, and so on. Timelines for social change and innovation were slow. Everyone could keep up with advancing knowledge.

Therefore, social influence was mostly felt and orchestrated one-on-one within the immediate community, even though dominated by the land owning elite.  Everyone knew everyone by name, and that name symbolized a man's or woman's honor.  Nothing more or less. Every child recognized in an adult's work the possibility of their own future.  The work of parents was localized and visible. Parents never disappear into an unknown abstraction called "work." Most woman managed the home and her blessings were felt every day.  The older a person, they more they knew of the available knowledge, and therefore, the greater respect they were afforded by their peers and the children.  All of this is exactly reversed today.

Since the secular law is the foundation for regulating all that is built upon it, my analysis has focused on reforming the current condition of "the law."  Ti the extent the law reflects as a mirror "THE LAW," to that extent one observes the first indicator of Spiritual status of the law givers. In this is found the first Spiritual test of humanity's fitness to survive.  We are failing under present conditions and trends.  These must soon be reversed.  Are you in accord with this?

Q:  Thinking systemically and Holistically, I presume that you mean by "the law," the civil, criminal, economic and political "laws of the land."  All of them, for they are all integral to help define worldly truth.  But I now understand that this "law" must now be quickly become informed by Spiritual Truth as derived from THE LAW.

P:  Correct.  You have done well here.  I am pleased.  I wish you well on your challenging future. You are equal to the task. Consider yourself to be a Builder.   Live up to that challenge.  May GOD Bless you and direct you to your success.

Q: Thank you.  May I revisit you from time to time, just to keep my Spiritual gyroscope set right, to keep myself inoculated from the siren songs of worldly ambition, and to protect me form becoming ego overcome by the scale of the challenge or my success?

P: Of course, as long as I am here.  But the Watchers are always with you, and will be the best and most reliable guides to inform you.  Remember the gate to this Spiritual Truth is only empowered through your continued commitment to deep prayer and meditation.  In this you are still a neophyte. However, you will get used to and grow in it. By discipline practice, your will steadily become stronger and more confident.

Meditate continuously. Have Faith. REMEMBER YOUR ROOTS.  Live in your "Third" room and only visit the first two, not the other way around!   Reflect compassion and patience. Be and do the Work of Love.  Expect success.  Claim success, happiness, prosperity and all good.  These are your birthright, and only you can deny them.  Accept and surround yourself with those who demonstrate Love, Peace, and Strength.  Then celebrate your life.  Blessings!
