Finding Balance in Life
A reader comments: I am liberal and I also see, using JJ’s reasoning, that I have many conservative points of view. That being said, I can’t get into the dialogue about left versus right as to me it violates the Teachings that we must never be “anti” anything, but focus instead on our vision of the positive reality we wish to see manifest.
JJ: Talking about what is, is not being anti anything. It is being FOR the truth. I am pro truth wherever that truth may lie.
Then the reader wondered if we should avoid discussing politics or current news and focus only on spiritual teachings.
I think that when Christ does manifest that he will be very involved in politics so it is good preparation to be aware of all that is going on in the political field. After all, DK indicated that Christ may come as a politician. He said the Master Jesus will come as a leader of the Jews. Imagine how much conflict that would generate.
Reader: Are group members supposed to agree with your political views?
JJ: This is a very non authoritarian group. No one has to follow me in any way political or otherwise. All members should know that by now.
Reader: Are we expected to be civil in comments toward public figures as well as group members.
JJ Yes, of course. All are sons of God. Those who are not moderated are free to be civil or uncivil. If they get too far off base, I place them on moderation. I have always encouraged members to be civil to all. I do not think you can find an example where I have violated this injunction.
Reader: Do you ever worry that your postings might be influencing others to take polarized stands?
JJ: Not in the slightest. Why should I worry about that? Hopefully I have helped some become polarized toward Spirit and truth.
If members see any litmus test coming from me then they are probably in illusion. My only litmus test is that members be civil in discussions and not go too far off topic.
Any opinion is welcome as long as the person is civil and they are on topic. I expect all members to be loyal to their souls first and take what registers with their soul from me and others. I require no more than this.
Kris Why in this group is a test of political fealty eclipsing a standard of spiritual loyalty to service of God’s Plan for humanity? How has the former become more important here?
JJ There is no test of political fealty. Where do you get such an idea? It can’t be important if it does not exist.
Kris When you members make statements that reflect a Cult of Personality might be going on for some, should you correct it directly?
JJ I regularly discourage such things. Who do you think I should be correcting?
The reader then gave a quote from DK which he thought would set us on the right track: “I ask you also to sever your connection with all groups which are seeking to destroy and to attack, no matter how sincere their motive. Range yourself on the side of the workers for constructive ends, who are fighting no other groups or organisations and who have eliminated the word “anti” out of their vocabulary. Stand on the side of those who are silently and steadily building for the new order – an order which is founded on love, which builds under the impulse of brotherhood, and which possesses a realisation of a brotherhood which is based on the knowledge that we are each and all, no matter what our race, the children of the One Father, and who have come to the realisation that the old ways of working must go and the newer methods must be given a chance.” Esoteric Psychology, Vol 1, p. 188
We must ask ourselves in every group to which we belong, How does my group comply with DK’s admonishment and what role do I play in serving this end?
JJ: I wholeheartedly agree with DK here. You don’t want to head up any group activity that is anti something as its purpose of existence. In your quote he says:
“Stand on the side of those who are silently and steadily building for the new order – an order which is founded on love, which builds under the impulse of brotherhood.”
My teachings are about “steadily building for the new order” just as he says. Here are some of them:
[1] The Molecular Relationship. I have written an entire book on this which explains the next great step in human evolution and how we can be a part of it.
[2] The Molecular Business. This is a teaching that will make businesses more efficient, bring much more participation from the rank and file along with greater equality trough free will and not force.
[3] Project Peace and Goodwill. A plan to disarm the nations of nuclear weapons.
[4] The Gathering of Lights. Setting a positive goal to eventually build self sufficient cities of enterprising souls of good will.
[5] The Majority Speaks. A concrete plan to bring the will of the people into power rather than the will of the few as we have now.
[6] Thousands of articles that are not anti anything but present new and unique teachings that will be helpful in the new age.
Even though DK advised here to not have the idea of being against something as a prime reason for group formation he was against neutrality.
Even though the purpose of DK’s group was not to be Anti Hitler or anti totalitarianism he was definitely not neutral and definitely anti Hitler and all he stood for. He harshly criticized the United States for being neutral too long and not attacking Nazism earlier and was greatly relieved when we finally entered the war. He criticized the nations that remained neutral and were not anti anything and stated that they had accumulated negative karma they would have to pay off in the future.
He also harshly criticized the pacifists who were not against anything but conflict and noted how their freedom was paid for by those who were willing to take a stand on the side of liberty. He supported the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki which was far from a neutral action.
“The Hierarchy is NOT neutral.” DK The Destiny of Nations, Page 65
And I am not neutral. Just as DK did with his work I am doing with mine which is this. Give out positive teachings and building materials that will be useful in creating the new age. Like DK, when I find illusions, I will give out teachings to dispel them and that causes me to not be neutral as the Hierarchy is not neutral but to take a stand on the side of truth, freedom and justice.
Today we are in the midst of World War III except it is being played out on the astral plane rather than the physical. Just as DK insisted disciples take a stand during World War II, even so must disciples take a stand in the emotional war going on now which if lost could spell a loss of freedom just as the loss of World War II would have.
Any involvement I have on the political side of things is not leaving spiritual things behind, but embracing the key to all spiritual progress which is the defense of freedom. I will defend the freedom of the human spirit wherever there is opportunity, and the dispelling of political illusion is a large part of this.
Truth always originates in a minority of one, and every custom begins as a broken precedent. – Will Durant
