Hello Dear Readers,
This is the 4th in a series of brief articles I'm writing about the birth of our nation as seen by the great Masters of the far East. This account is from a Master called, Emil, as quoted in the Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East, by Baird T. Spalding, who was on a research mission in 1894.
What Emil has to say about America's birth is quite astounding. Here he starts out with our motto, In God We Trust.
Then the emblematic phrase-In God We Trust-does not that show the most sanguine faith or trust in God, the creator of all? Then the choice of the eagle, the bird which represents the highest aspiration, as the emblem. It shows that these men were deeply spiritual or they builded better than they knew. Can you doubt for a moment that all were guided by the whole of the God spirit in creative action? Does it not bespeak that America is destined to be the guide to the whole world?
Great mistakes have been made by your nation in the ongoing because you have not realized your spiritual import, and the vast majority are still deep in the material. I fully realize that great souls have guided the destiny of your nation. I also realize how little those great souls have been appreciated until they have passed on. The way has been jagged and bushy, a hard way, because man in his limited concept, thus far, let only the mortal concept build the way.
See what wonders he has accomplished! But see what wonders could have been accomplished, had the fuller, deeper, spiritual meaning been understood and applied. In other words, had the Christ been placed at the helm of your Ship of State, and could all have known the truth as Jesus did - that the Christ is in every man, and that all are one-what wonders would stand revealed today. I behold the same glory yet to be, as soon as the deep spiritual meaning of e pluribus unum is understood. Do you not realize that it is one of the first great laws of God, the one expressing through the many, one of all and for all?
Consider every nation that has been founded. Those founded on true spiritual perception have endured the longest and would have endured forever, had not materialism been allowed to creep in and gradually undermine the whole structure until they fell by their own abnormal weight, or were consumed by the misuse of the law that gave them birth...
See what a nation Spain was at the time Columbus set forth on his voyage of discovery, and for a short time afterwards, and see now what is happening. In a short time she will be at war with her own child. Then you will see what a helpless, impotent nation she is, hardly able to totter into a good fight or out of a poor one. To what can you attribute her impotency? Is it utter devitalization? Is it not always thus with a nation or an individual?
When the body form or structure has been satiated, whether by greed or passion, the results are the same. There may be a time of seeming prosperity and success, but this is short-lived; then the decrepit, emaciated, and wasted form bears evidence, as does the halting, uncertain step of the old. Whereas had they conserved and developed their spiritual power they would be as resilient and buoyant at five hundred, five thousand, or ten thousand years, or eternally, as they were in the heyday of their ascendancy.
Emil draws comparisons of the unfolding of a nation to the unfolding of an individual - just what a lot of us are experiencing now. I will share these comparisons in my next article, as Emil speaks of the dawning of the Age of Crystal.
Happy Flag Day!
Much Light and Love,
Lisa
