Series: Rays

Ray Qualities and Politics

Ray One – Intent

We hear a lot of talk about Donald Trump, and often his supporters, as being deplorables, racists, fascists, Nazis, bigots, white supremacists, KKK lovers, climate deniers, enemies of the environment, women haters – just about everything except persecutors of cute baby kittens and that may be coming next. Surely of all people he must be on the dark side, right?

We have two sides here. Donald Trump and his voters and those who voted against him. This include not only Hillary voters, but many of his own party as well as voters for minority candidates. Let us apply the seven ray light and dark qualities test to see which side leans to the right or left hand path.

The First Ray is represented by selfish and unselfish intent. Now many jump to the conclusion that Trump has selfish intent because he is rich and the media group think portrays him as the epitome of selfishness.

Spiritual students are often too quick to judge people with money as being evil as pointed out by DK who stated:

“Yet the results of their application to science or their accumulation of the crystallised prana (money) of the financial world are turned to the helping of mankind. This will be a hard saying for some of you who rate an irritable remark by a co-disciple as something disgraceful and belittle the efforts of the money-maker, and do both with a sense of self-righteous congratulation.

Discipleship in the New Age, Vol 2, Page 337

In context he is saying here that people with money have an important place in the plan if they have the intent to use it to help mankind and many judge incorrectly about these people while patting themselves on the back “with a sense of self-righteous congratulation.”

Now reading the intent of a person’s heart is a subtle thing and many get it wrong. I know that throughout my life many have read my intent incorrectly. Nothing illustrates that good intent is difficult to see more than the story of the Christ. We agree that if anyone had good intent it was him, yet the religious authorities at the time thought he had the intent to destroy them and was in league with the devil.

Only through intimate association or spiritual communion can we read the intent of a person’s heart correctly. Therefore, it is wisdom to give the other guy the benefit of the doubt. No matter how much I dislike a person’s actions I make it a policy to restrain myself from judging selfish intent. On the other hand, if I see evidence of unselfish intent I see no harm in expressing this.

In this case we will just look at evidence from one side since he is our designated president and Hillary whether for good or bad is out of the equation.

The main question of concern here is, whether Trump sought the presidency for personal glory or to serve his country and the people.

What I do is listen to what the person actually says and Trump says he is running because America is in trouble and he thinks he knows how to fix it and wants to do it not only for himself but for all Americans.

Now it would be easy to say he is just running for fame, glory and ego, but all politicians show signs of this and sometimes the ones that are best at presenting a good image are the worst and are as a lion among the sheep.

Trump is in the Guinness Book of Records as making the biggest financial comeback of all time and this is what America needs as it is almost $20 trillion in debt and we need someone to take us out of the hole or we face financial doom which will make the global warming problem seem miniscule by comparison.

He says he wants to make America great again so let us sit back and see what he actually does as president. After a year or so passes we can then analyze and perhaps be more accurate in judging his motives and whether he is really trying to serve the people rather than just himself.

It is my opinion that he ran for president because he thinks he can be of service to our country and that most of our past presidents ran for this same reason. Good intent does not make one right or successful though as other ingredients must be in play.

While the first ray quality of intent is difficult to judge as evidence is subtle the qualities of the other rays present more evidence so the demarcation is easier to see.

Ray Qualities and Trump, Part 2

Ray Two – Truth

Ray two is normally associated with love and wisdom, but real love and wisdom always leads to truth. There can be no wisdom without the power to discern truth and apply it. In addition there can be no discernment of real truth for one who does not love the truth. Selfish and possessive love from the solar plexus is fine with distorting the truth but this is not the case for the pure energies of the heart.

The question we must approach here is how the two sides rate in dealing with the truth.

As far as name calling and labeling go the left has certainly done more of this than the right. Just watch any cable program where you have a member of the left and right engaged in an argument. You do not have to wait long before you hear baseless accusations of racism and worse from the anti Trump person while the Trump person will be defending himself, trying to relate facts on the issues. Now there are a few exceptions, but this is a general trend.

Trump and often his voters are accused of racism more than any other candidate in my lifetime, including George Wallace, the famous Democrat anti segregationist.

Let us look at this most frequent accusation of racism and see if there is anything to it.

So where does this accusation come from? We all know it mostly comes from the fact that Trump wants to secure the border and build a wall to help accomplish that as well as enforce the current law in dealing with those here illegally.

To consider that this is racist one has to think that Trump doesn’t want them in the country merely because they are Mexicans with a darker skin than himself.

This would imply that if we had a similar invasion of millions illegal Canadians that we would just give them a pass.

This is plain silly when you think of it. No one from the right I know who wants to secure the border has any bias toward Mexicans, but merely believe we must legally control the influx of immigrants. The Democrats used to think this way also as many of them voted for our immigration laws that have made entering our country without permission illegal

In his 1995 State of the Union address President Clinton said:

“All Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected but in every place in this country, are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country, The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public service they use impose burdens on our taxpayers.”

This was followed by a standing ovation from the Democrats.

In 2003 during an interview on The John Gambling Radio Show when she was a New York senator, Hillary Clinton said, “I am, you know, adamantly against illegal immigrants. … We’ve got to do more at our borders and people have got to stop employing illegal immigrants.”

During a CNN interview with Lou Dobbs in 2007 Bernie Sanders said:

If poverty is increasing and if wages are going down, I don’t know why we need millions of people to be coming in to this country as guest workers who will work for lower wages than American workers and will drive wages down even lower than they are right now,”

Sanders, Bill and Hillary all sounded like Trump just a few years ago yet I do not recall anyone calling them racist, Nazis or like Hitler.

It is indeed a distortion of truth and very far away from heart centered truth to charge Trump and supporters with racism while giving their icons a pass.

I personally have worked for 6 years of my life in orchards, picking fruit and other orchard work, side by side with visiting Mexicans. I merely viewed them as fellow human beings like myself trying to make a few dollars. It never occurred to me to see them as inferior in any way, yet the left dreams up all kinds of reasons why that is the way we think.

Where millions of people are involved you can always find a few people who will think most anything, but the real truth is that Trump and the vast majority of supporters want our borders secured for the sake of internal security and stability that has nothing to do with race. Their position would be the same if Mexicans were white, yellow or green.

Part of the racism charge is that he is anti Jewish which is a clear attempt at deception, for his daughter Ivanka is Jewish and her husband Jared, his closest advisor, is Jewish also. Trump is a big supporter of Israel.

Trump is also accused of being a racist because he wants to profile Muslims before they enter the country and make sure they are harmless. Islam, like Christianity, however is not a race but a religion composed of all races.

Some of the radical Muslims see the United States as the Great Satan that needs to be destroyed and, common sense, not racism or bigotry, demands that we do some screening to filter these out.

If the motive here for screening is race or bigotry then why doesn’t this show up in the right toward Asians or people from India, or Hindus, or Buddhists?

All fair mined people know that the answer is concern for security, not race or religion.

Another accusation is that Trump approves of the KKK since he was endorsed by them.

First this is not true. They did not endorse him, but published that they supported some (not all) of his policies.

On the other hand, buried by the left is the fact that Will Quigg, a grand dragon of the Klan’s California chapter and responsible for recruitment in the western United States told The UK Telegraph, “We want Hillary Clinton to win. She is telling everybody one thing, but she has a hidden agenda. She’s telling everybody what they want to hear so she can get elected.”

Hillary also has a nephew who is a member of the KKK.

The fact that there is just as much evidence that Hillary is in league with the KKK makes it very deceptive that Trump is singled out as being in league with them.

All real seekers of truth know that when there are only two major choices that you are going to have both good and bad guys voting for each side.

According to Snopes the Communist party “did issue a statement urging members to vote against Trump.” That is a virtual endorsement of Hillary as she was the only choice left with a chance of winning. Even though the Communist party did not specifically name Hillary, John Bachtell, the national chair of the Communist Party USA gave this endorsement:

“The election of Clinton as the first woman president would make history. A landslide would not end sexism, but it would represent a mighty blow just as the election of President Obama was a blow against racism. It would advance democracy.

“A landslide makes it more likely that GOP Congressional and state legislative majorities can be ousted and an end put to the politics of obstruction. Most people tend to vote straight ticket.”

Pornographer Larry Flynt Endorsed Hillary. Does this mean she supports his view of women as objects to be exploited?

This guilt by association is a deceptive tactic used regularly by Trump opposition and the left. The right has just as good a case for using it but rarely does. When it does try to use this tactic it doesn’t get much traction as the media, which mostly leans left, gives it little coverage.

Perhaps the most insidious accusation is that Trump and his voters are like Hitler and the Nazis. This is especially deceptive talk when considering that Trump has never in his 70 years been in public office where he has demonstrated any unjust power over private citizens.

Most presidents get compared to Hitler by a handful of discontents after they get in office and actually do something that half the public does not like, but it is unprecedented for so many to make such accusations of one who is not yet president and never held office.

I have already taken time to destroy this crazy deceptive attack. Here is an article addressing the false accusation that Trump is like Hitler.

LINK

And here is another addressing the accusation that trump is like Mussolini

LINK

And just to illustrate that if the Trump supporters wanted to take the same mean spirited deceptive approach we could even compare the fuzzy friendly Bernie Sanders to Hitler.

LINK

A breakoff from the Hitler Nazi accusation is that of White Supremacy.

The left has been very clever and deceptive in bringing this accusation before the public consciousness in such a way that many low information voters have accepted it.

To accomplish this objective, with the help of the major media and Hollywood, they glommed on to the label of “Alt-right” originally created by White supremacist Richard B. Spencer (who has only a handful of followers) in 2010. They slyly knew that the term “white supremacist” would be strongly rejected by Republicans, Libertarians and Trump voters but by throwing the new label “Alt-right” out there they would not create so much resistance. So what they concentrated on after Trump gained some traction was to associate him and supporters with this Alt-right label.

This was a clever tactic in deception for it even fooled me for a while. The first few times I saw it used I did not associate it with anything sinister, such as white supremacy, but merely thought it referred to those on the right who were not supporters of the swamp that needed to be drained.

Then after the left was successful in making the label Alt-right a term that permeated public consciousness they openly came out and associated it with anything and anyone who supported Trump along with the associated accusation of white supremacy. They also created another label called the “white nationalists” which they often use to link Trump people with white supremacy.

This is extremely deceptive, yet unfortunately effective, as it keeps the people on the right on the defensive, being forced to explain their true position over and over.

The truth is this. No mainstream Republican organization or person, including Breitbart and Steve Brannon, have identified themselves as white supremacists, white nationals, or with a racist Alt-right. All this has been conjured up by the left to create a deceptive image of the right in the eyes of the public.

There has been no comparable deception by the right against the left. Sure there are small pockets of crazy people everywhere, but no deception like this from the mainstream right.

Breitbart, a Trump friendly site has been labeled as white supremacist, white nationalist and Alt-right since Trump became a serious candidate. Much of the media uses these labels in association with it as if it were an established fact. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have been a reader of the site since its beginning, almost a decade ago, and not once have I read anything there that supports racism, white nationalism or white supremacy.

Overall Trump increased the percentages of women, blacks, Hispanics, Asians and other minorities voting for him over the previous election. The white vote was within a one percentage point of what Romney received and without the additional support of minorities who rejected media hype, Trump could not have won.

It is also an interesting, but buried fact, that Trump’s favorability ratings have jumped around 10 extra points since the election.

Overall the campaigns of this past election has centered way too much on personality flaws rather than policies. We should have been looking at the major policy differences, the main one being that Hillary wants a bigger government, less power to the states, with more regulations and higher taxes whereas Trump wants a smaller government, more power to the states and fewer taxes and regulations. The choice should be simple for those looking at policy rather than personalities.

Here are DKs wise words concerning where we should place personality problems:

Let me put it this way: the petty selfishness and the silly little vanities and the irritations which disturb you, the unkind words you may speak of or to others, and the withholding of love or the fact of wrong emphasis in your daily life are not noted by me or by any Master. They are the affair of your own soul; the results affect your family, friend, or communal group, and are none of Our business. Yet those are the things which you notice in others and which affect your judgment, evoking like or dislike, praise or blame, but inevitably putting you—as an individual—upon the judgment seat. There no Master sits.

Freedom and Ray Three

I started a series a while back discussing Trump and the rays which covered the first two. As we move on to Ray Three I think I will concentrate more on dealing with the political and esoteric Left and Right.

Each one of the Rays manifests as a duality. Here are the first two as they manifest in the political world.

(1) Will-Power-Purpose manifests as Intent

The duality = unselfish intent vs selfish intent.

(2) Love-Wisdom manifests as love of Truth.

The duality = focus on truth vs lies and distortions to reach goals.

We will now move to Ray Three

(3) Active intelligence responsible for the manifestation of beauty and form manifests as freedom.

Why is freedom the key word in politics?

Because all the variety of forms that we have cannot manifest in fullness without the maximum possible freedom.

And keep in mind form covers more than the physical seen with the eye. The U.S. Constitution is one of the great forms. Apple Computer is another as well as groups like the Red Cross.

Third Ray freedom dually manifests as focus on self-control by inner authority and initiative vs control by strong outer authority.

Strong inner authority enhances freedom to produce form but powerful control by outer authority inhibits it.

When discussing political principles I prefer to Left and Right rather than Democrat and Republican as both parties incorporate elements of the true Left and Right that leads to the Right or Left hand path. Left and Right also includes all the fringe political parties and groups.

I have already written a lot about the Principle of Freedom. Here is a link to a two part article making some essential points.

And here is one on the Principle of Freedom

I write a lot about this principle because it represents the battleground between the light and dark forces of the world. The Brotherhood of Light seeks to expand individual and group freedom whereas the dark side thinks that individuals are too inept to be trusted with freedom and must be controlled. The Right places maximum trust in the individual and the Left great distrust.

The Left wants a plethora of laws, regulations, controls, supervision, bureaucracy and strong central government whereas the Right seeks a minimum amount of these with decentralized government.

We all recognize that a certain amount of control, authority, laws and regulations are needed. It is an act of wisdom to see how much is too much or not enough.

The cornerstone to the masters approach to freedom is what DK called “occult obedience.” This plays out not through an authority such as a master giving commands and the disciple obeying. Instead the teacher assists the disciple in raising his consciousness so he can see the plan with the same vision as the master. When they both see the plan through the same eyes then the obedience will be to the plan, not to a person.

Here are some comments from DK on this principle:

Two questions always arise the moment the stage of discipleship is discussed: the problem of occult obedience and the nature of the vision. I would like to deal with these right at the beginning of any help which I may be able to give you. What is this occult obedience which a Master is supposed to exact? `Today, the Masters are dealing with the highly mental type of disciple who believes in the freedom of the human will and consciousness and who resents the imposition of any so-called authority. The intellectual man will not accept any infringement of his freedom, and in this he is basically right. He objects to having to obey. This is today axiomatic. Out of this fundamental question, lesser ones arise which I would like to cite. Has the disciple to obey the slightest hint which the Master may give? Must every request and suggestion be accepted? Must all that a Master says be accepted as true and infallibly correct? Is the disciple wrong when he refuses (if he does) to recognise the Master’s point of view and the statements He may make? Will the fact of Accepted Discipleship limit his freedom of opinion or choice, coerce his judgment and make him simply a replica in thought of the Master’s thought? These are questions of importance.

`The obedience required is obedience to the Plan. It is not obedience to the Master, no matter what many old-style occult schools may say. The obedience which is asked of you is based on your growing recognition of the Plan for humanity, as it emerges in your consciousness through the processes of meditation and through definite service, based upon a growing love of your fellowmen.

`The obedience demanded is that of the personality to the soul as soul knowledge, soul light and soul control become increasingly potent in the mind and brain reactions of the disciple. This whole problem of occult obedience would not arise at all if the rapport between soul and personality or between the disciple and the Master was complete and soundly established. The entire question is based upon the blindness and lack of knowledge of the disciple. `As the rapport becomes more firmly established, no fundamental divergences of opinion can appear; the aims of the soul and the personality blend and fuse; the objectives before the disciple and the Master become identical, and the group life conditions the service rendered by both of them. It is, therefore, the limitations of the disciple which prompt the question and his fear that too much may be asked of him by the Master and his soul. Is this not true, my brother? It is the holding on to your personality interpretations, wishes and ideas which leads you to draw back from the word obedience. It is your liking for yourself and for your own point of view which—literally and factually—makes you afraid of a too prompt acquiescence in the known suggestions of the Masters. I would have you remember that suggestion is all that a Master ever makes to a disciple, even though He may make positive statements about human affairs. These statements may be entirely correct; the neophyte, however, is usually too blind or prejudiced by his own individual point of view to accept them. Obedience can only be rendered when there is a developed understanding and an inclusive vision; if that is lacking, the passing of time will adjust the matter.

Harmony Through Conflict

Ray Four is known by the phrase, “Harmony through conflict.” We certainly see the conflict played out in the political world today, but far from enough harmony.

This ray is dually expressing itself as follows:

Positive: Reasonable argument through logic, reason and measured words as well as peaceful demonstration and petition. A disciple, however, may bring up a point that may lead to conflict (as did the Christ) to bring the truth to light.

Negative: Focus on attack, distorted accusations, name calling, labeling in place of reason, distortion of the facts, guilt by association, bias, violent and disruptive demonstrations, mob action and attempts at shutting down free speech.

The negative side of this ray is a powerful tool in the hands of those on the Left Hand Path.

It is interesting that in the Bible Satan is called, “ the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.” Rev 12:10

Accusations with the power to put those who want to serve on the defensive where all they are doing is defending themselves is very destructive. It winds up making good appear as evil and evil appear as good as predicted by Isaiah.

As in all things there is a time and a place to make accusations. If a person commits a crime or an obvious harmful act, or fraud, then this needs to see the light of day and be judged by law and the court of public opinion.

But obvious infractions are not a concern of those assisting the left hand path for they will attack anyone who disagrees with them by accusations, “night and day” as the scripture says. Such accusations are often completely fabricated or based on trivial statements distorted and blown up.   The accusations will often get front page coverage, but then if the truth reveals that the accused was innocent such information will be buried or not covered at all.

In the end the good guy who is accused is remembered as the bad guy and the bad guy making the distorted accusation is remembered by many as the good guy.

Isaiah indeed spoke wisely:

“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!” Isa 5:20-21

Accusations take many forms. Blown up sexual misconduct or bad humor is a big one. Another popular one is to take a person’s words out of context and present them as wanting to destroy American institutions when the person had no such intention. Many are accused of hating women, minorities, little children, animals, wanting to destroy the environment, poison our water, pollute the air etc when they are often more harmless than their accuser.

Our politics would be much improved if our representatives would concentrate on honestly debating the issues rather than getting sidetracked with negativity.

Name calling and labeling is another powerful tool used by those on the dark side. Perhaps the most common accusation is in the use of the word “liar.”

Ever once in a while this accusation is justified, but often the accusation itself is the real lie.

A lie is an intentional statement that is false and the person knows it is false. All of us at times will mistakenly repeat things that are not true. Either we received incorrect information, remembered incorrectly or just made a slip of the tongue. A mistake is not a lie, but political opponents will take an honest mistake and label it a lie. This is an insidious method of attack and it is done all the time.

Some go so far as to call an opinion of an opponent a lie.

I would guess that at least 75% of the liar accusations in the political world are not lies at all, but are either mistakes or mere opinions that run contrary to what the accusers want to be true.

I have participated in a number of political forums and usually get called a liar in short order. I have many times challenged my accusers to prove one thing I said was a lie and none have ever done so. It is frustrating though to attempt to have an intelligent conversation in the midst of incessant name-calling. I pretty much avoid political forums now for that reason, though I am glad I did participate in them enough to get an understanding of how they operate.

A distortion of the facts is a big problem. Almost everyday I read some accusation that essentially says, “Mr. Smith said this and it is outrageous.”

What the writer often does is put Mr. Smith’s words in his own language which merely states what he felt when Mr. Smith spoke. Then when I look up the actual quote it is often completely different in meaning than was the accusers summary. I personally find this outrageous when I see it done, especially by establishment news media who is just supposed to give us the facts.

The problem with these accusers is the actual quote does not do the job of demonization, so they have to embellish.

Guilt by association is another tool used by the deceptive ones. A racist, killer or communist voting for or agreeing with a candidate’s point does not mean that the candidate is a racist, killer or communist.

It is interesting that a KKK newspaper article agreed with (but did not endorse) Trump on several issues while Will Quigg, a grand dragon of the Klan’s California chapter and responsible for recruitment in the western United States endorsed Hillary. Hillary also has a nephew in the Klan.

Both could have been accused of being guilty by association, but Trump was the one singled out for this while few even know about the Hillary KKK endorsement.

Which brings us to the next point – bias. Bias not only surfaces in what is said, but also what is not said. For instance, when the media pointed out KKK support for Trump, but ignored the endorsement of Clinton.

Both sides lack confidence in the trustworthiness of the major media as, according to Gallup, they have only around an 8% vote of high confidence, just a little higher than Congress.

The last category is particularly disruptive as it has been used by tyrants to take power to themselves – that is violent and disruptive demonstrations, mob action and attempts at shutting down free speech.”

This type of action is particularly dangerous to a free society. Peaceful demonstrations are a part of a free society, but when we see demonstrators defy the law and wear masks and then defy and attack police, overturn and burn vehicles, break windows, loot businesses, make physical attacks, stop traffic, invade meetings, shout down speakers as well as put them in danger, then we see people who are agents of the brothers of the left hand path.

Unfortunately for the political left almost all of these problems originate from their side. Some are disgusted by it but far too many are either silent or endorse such actions.

In a piece of strange irony protesters of Trumps Muslim immigration policies on Inauguration Day did $70,000 worth of destruction to a limousine that belonged to a Muslim immigrant. Here’s the story.

When Bill O’Reilly reports something negative about one party he usually tries to find something negative about the other and saying, “both sides do it..” When reporting about this type of mob action though he stated that he looked through the archives and could not find any comparative examples from the political right. I agree, as I cannot recall seeing any people of the right doing this type of mob action. While it is true both sides have their flaws, this type of destructive behavior seems to be the exclusive property of the political left at this present time.

The peaceful people of the left should not put up with such things as it has to be embarrassing to have their side identified with such destructive behavior.

We’ve covered a lot concerning the negative political aspects of the Fourth Ray, and a lot more could be written than on the positive which is basically this:

Reasonable argument through logic, reason and measured words as well as peaceful demonstration and petition.

Both sides of the political spectrum could use a dose of good reason and logic into their discussions. It is very refreshing to see it and when it happens it is quite stimulating and gets a lot of circulation on the internet.

The problem is that many are just cheerleaders for their political side and often think they are hearing reason and logic when there is none to speak of. Often, all we get are talking points and many of them are distortions of fact.

It will not do much good for me to explain what is reasonable and logical. Intelligent people can recognize it but ideologues will think that anything that follows the party line is pure truth.

Part of the problem is the influence left over from the Age of Pisces of strong Sixth Ray influence of idealism. Fortunately this will be losing strength during the next hundred years and it is assumed by the teachers of the race that mind will then dominate over emotion and pure reason will be much more widely recognized and sought.

Thus we have before us the great work to be done by the disciples of the Christ which is.

Deal with opposition with the wisdom of a serpent, yet harmless as a dove. Let the light of reason and logic shine in the darkness which has to, by law, flee and make way for the light of truth. However, the light must be steady, focused and continuous or the darkness will return.

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works … if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.” Matt 5:16 & 6:22

In summary, this Ray is named “Harmony through Conflict” for a reason. Some have difficulty in seeing the relationship between these two opposing words but the interplay is significant.

One must understand that harmony is not created by the suppression of numerous voices, as is the case in North Korea, for example. If people there did not fear for their lives then the true lack of harmony would be obvious.

You do not obtain harmony on a piano by playing the same note over and over. Instead, the student plays many notes and chords and learns by trial and error which notes to press to create true harmony.

Even so, a society must have the free will to express opposition which leads to a conflict of ideas. Citizens are then like the piano student who hears the different notes expressed and after a time we realizes that which produces harmony and that which does not. When society has absorbed the lesson of the Fourth Ray they will then have a lasting harmony with both sides of the political spectrum playing their part

.May each of us do our part in hastening that day.

Ray Five: Concrete Knowledge

The duality = focus all pertinent facts vs focus on a few facts mixed with distortion.

This boils down to the open mind willing to look at both sides vs one who is not open and seeks to look at only that which supports his view.

The negative aspect of Ray Five works out in the political world with what is called “spin.” Politicians and pundits will carefully present limited facts in such a way that their views may look much better than they really are.

They do this by presenting certain facts and leaving out others that may change the picture entirely. Others go further and present a couple things that are true, leave out much, and then present distortions and exaggerations that are far from the true reality.

Others go further still and throw in some outright lies mixed in with a few true facts.

On the positive side are those who make a sincere effort in presenting that which is true. Even sincere ones may leave out a few facts that does not support their case, but when brought up they will at least acknowledge them. The negative ones generally do not.

Unfortunately there are not many in the political world who correctly use the positive side of this Fifth Ray energy, but take heart. We are entering the Age of Aquarius, an air sign, and air is a symbol of the mind. As we move forward in time over the next century or two humankind will become much more polarized in the mind, instead of the emotions. We are just leaving Pisces, the most powerful of the water signs. Water represents the emotions and indeed for the past two thousand years there have been many great emotional battles fought out with many of them descending to the physical plane.

When the mind dominates then the main battle will be reason against reason with the most potent battles descending to the emotional plane. Emotional battles do have some destructive effect, but nothing like our physical ones, such as World War II.

Perhaps some dialog I have written that takes place between a hypothetical true believer and a thinker will illustrate the positive and negative uses of the Fifth Ray.

Here is some dialog on the hot subject of global warming.

 

Global Warming, Part 1

Where are the Deniers?

True Believer: You guys got to admit that you are on the wrong side of science and fact with your denial of climate change.

 

Thinker: And who is it that rejects the idea that the climate changes?

True Believer: Almost everyone on the Right.

 

Thinker: Can you find me one?

True Believer: Probably you for starters.

 

Thinker: Wrong again. I accept the fact that the climate has been changing. In fact it has been changing every year for billions of years. I have never met one of these illusive climate change deniers the Left is always conjuring up and I doubt if you can find me one anywhere.

True Believer: You know what I mean.

 

Thinker: Maybe, but you do not seem to know what you mean. Now instead of saying what you don’t really mean in an effort to demonize the Right how about starting over by speaking accurately? You don’t really think that people on the Right do not believe the climate changes do you?

True Believer: Well, yes, I suppose most people realize the climate changes over time. I’m talking about human caused climate change that is denied by the Right.

 

Thinker: The word for what you’re thinking is anthropogenic climate change. If that’s what you meant, you should have said this from the beginning rather than make the ridiculous claim that the Right denies there is climate change when no one denies this. I don’t know why more people do not call the Left on this accusation because it is just plain silly.

True Believer: Okay, I get your point. You deny that there is anthropogenic climate change then. Is this correct?

 

Thinker: No. You know you really should find out what the other side thinks before you demonize them.

True Believer: So, you don’t deny man-made climate change. Are you saying we agree on this subject?

 

Thinker: I suppose we will not know until we clarify what each of us believes. Tell me your thoughts on the subject.

True Believer: Unlike the Right I agree with actual science which tells me that humans are causing the current climate change.

 

Thinker: So you’re saying then that all the global warming and climate change in recent times was caused by humans?

True Believer: Basically, yes.

 

Thinker: Then you must also be saying that if humans were not using fossil fuels there would be no climate change and the earth’s temperature and climate wouldn’t change, as it has in the past for billions of years, but would stay exactly the same, year after year, not changing at all. Is that correct?

True Believer: Not exactly.

 

Thinker: Well, spit it out man. For once, say what you mean!

True Believer: Okay, without humans consuming energy there would be some climate change and temperature variation but it has accelerated recently because of greenhouse gasses released by us, mostly caused by CO2.

 

Thinker: So, you believe that humans are not the full cause of climate change, but a partial cause?

True Believer: I suppose you could say that.

 

Thinker: On this point most on the Right and Left agree. Climate change is influenced by both natural causes and human activity. The unthinking on both sides paint with a broad brush. Some on the Right carelessly say that humans have no effect and the careless Left will blame 100% of the change on humankind. Both are incorrect, Do you agree?

True Believer: I suppose you are correct on that point.

 

Thinker: It seems that we have two main areas of disagreement. The first is about the degree in which the release of human caused greenhouse gasses contributed to global warming over the past 100 years. What percentage do you believe that to be?

True Believer: I’m not sure but humans account for most of it.

 

Thinker: So, would the human contribution be just over 50% then or more?

True Believer: I’d say more.

 

Thinker: Like maybe 90%.

True Believer: That sounds about right.

 

Thinker: And why do you believe this?

True Believer: It’s what scientists are telling us.

 

Thinker: And where are they telling us this? Can you cite a conclusive study?

True Believer: It’s common knowledge that scientists blame human activity as the main cause of climate change.

 

Thinker: You mean scientists like Al Gore?

True Believer: Well he tells us what the science says.

 

Thinker: So where is this scientific study that concludes that humans are by far the largest factor in causing global warming and climate change?

True Believer: There’s the IPCC UN report that represents the work of thousands of scientists.

 

Thinker: And where in that report is any conclusive study that tells us the percentage of warming that is caused by humans?

True Believer: I couldn’t say. I just read a small part of the summary. It seemed to indicate that humans are the main cause of warming.

 

Thinker: The summary was written by bureaucrats, not scientists doing the study and it always comes out before the scientific data is released. But nowhere in any of the studies is there a percentage agreed upon as to how much humans contribute to warming. The fact is that there is no consensus on this and there are many opinions on it ranging from close to zero to over 100%.

Here’s a researcher who makes the case that humans only cause about a tenth of one percent of the warming. LINK

The hard truth is that there is no evidence available that gives us a provable percentage. There is some powerful evidence though that the amount of warming and damage caused by humans is much less than politicians on the Left would have us believe.

True Believer: And what would that be?

 

Thinker: History. It is important to look at actual results and data, which, unlike predictions, we know to be true. I’ll give you some that global warming facts alarmists like to ignore.

Between 1850-1940 temperatures rose yet CO2 levels stayed about the same. Then the opposite happened. From 1940 to 1976 the earth cooled, yet during this period we had a major surge in CO2 levels.

From 1976-1998 the temperature increased along with CO2 levels. Then something unexpected happened for the alarmists. Since 1998 the warming has been very small while CO2 has had the largest increase of all time. None of the orthodox global warmers predicted this would happen. In fact, they predicted a continued accelerated warming period.

So tell me, my friend. How is it proven that increases in CO2 will bring destructive global warming when our actual history tells us this did not happen?

True Believer: I’d have to look into it.

 

Thinker: And there you stated a major problem. Global warming alarmists do not look into these facts, but ignore them. They trust predictions of the future by those who have been very inaccurate more than geologists who have been quite accurate in predicting climate cycles.

True Believer: Well I trust the scientists.

 

Thinker: But can you name me one scientist who rejects historical fact?

True Believer: Silence.
