Keith: I know some have absolutely no interest in politics, but how can we
ignore the Clinton situation. What would the Master's think? Would they
care? Would they intervene on Mr. Clinton's behalf in order to stop a war
with Iraq which would be a much needed distraction for Prez right now.
It is very UNCLEAR whether adepts interfere in politics. KP Johnson has
done a lot of research to verify that there was a lot of illuminati,
Rosicrucian, Carabeneri stuff going on in the last century. Many
esotericists were the aristocracy and poltical leaders. They were the only
ones with enought time to devote to more than earning the daily bead and
paying taxes which is getting true for some of us today.
As far a Mr. Clinton's effort at a New World Order of free trade and human
rights. He was going in that direction, no doubt. As far a moral purity,
well, who am I to point a penis?
Mr. Gore loves to hug trees. He would be an ideal candidate to bring in the
AGE OF AQUARIUS, don't you think? Then if he screws up, Gingrich will be
there. The Masters, may not intervene, but don't you think they might be
saying; "what fools these mortals be?"
I know Brenda was talking about an INNER world government, or I think so
anyway. Maybe that is what spirituality is "inner" world governement of the
individual to over come egotism and reveal the light of spirit in the daily
life. Political solutions have never worked. Maybe in the sixth race, now
being formed on this continent and Australia we will see people who need
neither punishment or welfare. But what cleansing catastrophe will be
necessary to get us there? Any ideas?
Namaste
