Hello Dear Readers,
This is the third of a series of brief articles I'm writing out of a patriotic inspiration I received reading the Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East - Volume 1, By Baird T. Spalding. Mr. Spalding was one of a research party of eleven persons that visited the Far East in 1894.
After about two years in India, Mr. Spalding met a Master he calls Emil. In these articles, I am quoting both Mr. Spalding and Emil extensively, as I find their wisdom and perspectives quite astounding.
For example, Emil feels that the hand of God was with the men who created the Declaration of Independence, and that their struggles to achieve this feat, compare to Jesus coming to the world.
Emil asks, Can you not see the hand of the Great Omnipotent One above it all? Then came the dark days when it seemed as though the first Colonies would be snuffed out, but what God has set His hand to must triumph.
Emil states that even the words of the Declaration of Independence where God-Inspired.
Then the emblematic phrase-In God We Trust-does not that show the most sanguine faith or trust in God, the creator of all?
Whether you realize it or not, the struggles of that little body of men in those memorable days and the act of affixing their names to that document is one of the greatest epics since that of the advent of Jesus into the world.
Emil speaks of how the strokes of the Independence Bell were known to him as if he were standing beneath it.
That bell magnified and sent out the vibrations that emanated from that little center, until some day they will penetrate the deepest and darkest corners of the whole earth, and thus enlighten the darkest consciousness.
Emil continues, Look at the trials and vicissitudes that led up to that event. Was not the Great Child born that day? ... The greatest nation of all the earth was born. ... Cannot those that signed the Declaration of Independence that day, be likened unto the Wise Men from the East who saw the Star symbolizing the birth of the Babe in the Manger, the Christ Consciousness in man? Did they not perceive the Star just as truly as those of old?
Is there any question that the watchword e pluribus unum (one out of many, or unity out of diversity or multiplicity) adopted during the successive stages of evolution of the Spirit of Truth? It certainly did not emanate mechanically from man's mortal mind.
No, Emil, there is no question in my mind.
How about you, dear reader? Please fell free to comment!
