The only way to see the true dark conspiracy correctly is to look at its workings as a whole as it manifests collectively through all organizations of the earth which seek to limit freedom.
The terrorists and the mob are two physical manifestations which are under their influence.
Many other organizations are thought to be much higher ringleaders of the conspiracy than these, but many of these accusations are misguided. Here is a sign to look for if you wish to identify an organization controlled by dark forces.
They will, without exception, attempt to kill those who betray them or attempt to expose their plans or leaders to the world.
As you can see, both the mob and the terrorists fit this description.
A second sign is that many of their plans and goals are closely held secrets.
A third sign is that they are willing to destroy anyone who gets in their way of their desires which center on selfishness. Destroying, women, children and innocent people pose no problem. Even destroying their own country and their own people would not stop them.
A fourth sign is that its members are controlled through fear.
Question One:
If the avoiding of making the bad dudes angry, peace offerings and refusal to take up arms will not bring peace on earth, then what will?
JJ
The answer in a nutshell is timing.
It is as Solomon said: "there is a time and place for all things under heaven." To attain permanent peace we must discern the time for war and the time to refrain from war and make peaceful overtures. We must discern the time to give and the time to receive. We must correctly see the time to teach our values and the time to refrain from this and see the values offered by others.
I will be writing on what the current timing tells us we should do.
Question Two: Does the evil have to be defeated in this age just as it was during the Second World War?
Larry Answers:
Isn't that true in any age? Does that mean we have to look forward to a major war, one perhaps of even a larger scale than WWII? Are some of the dire events depicted in Revelation due to be fulfilled some time soon?
JJ
Yes, we have history repeating itself in some form in every cycle. We must examine what has actually worked in dealing with tyranny in history and not neglect the lessons learned, or else the old saying about the lessons not learned in history will be repeated.
There does not have to be an apocalyptic World War as many fear. There indeed can be if we throw up our hands and turn all responsibility over to God and take none upon ourselves for our destinies.
If we take advantage of the opportunities presented in this current disaster, as well as others to come and turn lemon into lemonade we can pass through this point of tension, which shall last about thirty years, with civilization intact, so a foundation can be laid for the Age of Aquarius in its positive aspect.
Question Three:
Why is Ghandi not an example of pacifism prevailing over dark forces?
Larry writes:
Obviously because at that time the British just weren't too "dark". If he had been up against the Nazis, he and anyone who sided with him would have been off to a concentration camp.
JJ
Great answer, Larry. You cannot take the peaceful protests of Ghandi, Martin Luther King and others and claim they will apply to all situations.
These two great souls would have been tortured to death under the old Roman Empire and swiftly put to death if they were dealing with any Nazi type of government.
Many pacifists do not realize that they are only able to oppose a government and live to tell the tale when some of the light of the soul and value for human life exists there.
Do we see any pacifists going to China or Afghanistan and throwing themselves in front of a truck expecting it to stop? Of course not. They know they can get away with it in the democratic countries because of the value placed on human life.
It's a little like the principle illustrated in the movies where the bad guy puts a knife at the woman's throat and commands the good guy to put down his weapon. The good guy does this to save the woman. On the other hand, if this threat were used against one who did not value human life then such threat would be meaningless.
Holding those who have the light of the soul hostage for peace is not the way to peace or any other state of progression.
The Age of Aquarius is governed by mind and wisdom must be sought as a way to create change. Appealing to the common sense of the mind and the wisdom of the heart is the true method of progress in this coming age.
Holding those who are sensitive enough to respect life as hostages to attain the goals is a method inspired by the workers of darkness.
On the other hand, holding a peaceful protest, as did Martin Luther King, for a just cause without using these dubious tactics can be profitable.
Question Four:
Upon whom does the power of good will have an effect?
When we are dealing with those who are beyond the influence of the soul, in that they have no qualms about putting those to death who oppose them, the only thing to do in this case is to defeat then and remove them of their power to harm. The door to evil must be "sealed" as the Great Invocation states.
On the other hand, good will has a powerful effect on all those who are not under the direct control of such people and this should be used much more than it is now and is a key ingredient in bringing permanent peace on earth.
