To All Who Would Guard Freedom's Flame from Extinction:
Through the years we have observed that many are content to let others live their lives for them, to think for them, to guide their destiny; consequently, many fail to participate in the great battle for freedom. We are convinced that one of the causes behind mankind's present dilemma in world politics is the failure of the God-oriented people, the people who want to have a beautiful world, to do their part in creating it.
In the olden days, the Brotherhood sent forth great leaders to gather the children of the earth together under the banner of freedom for the realization of the living Christ. But seldom in history have the masses responded wholeheartedly to the ministrations of those great souls whom God has sent forth, whom the Brotherhood has sponsored, and who have carried vital messages to humanity. The bulk of the people, interested in the simplicities of life, vying for food, shelter, and personal satisfactions, have not embraced the cause of freedom except under duress of threats of personal loss or the emotional impact of a torrent of words coming forth from the mouths of great orators and spokesmen of the Brotherhood.
The sacred writings of all times have emphasized, "Thou shalt not kill."1 Yet, today, freedom for humanity is being literally slaughtered in the minds of the very young because of the apathy on the part of the leaders in the schools of the world. The actions of many of the professors and presidents of the colleges, born out of fear and what may be called a 'liberal' orientation toward Communistic principles, would indicate that they are afraid to speak out in defense of justice, order, and the fulfillment of the American dream for peace and freedom.
Those who pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor in Independence Hall long ago were not so. They, too, sought for and desired peace. They, too, had a dream of a better world; but they were willing to speak out and to take their stand for that dream and, thus, they were able to pass a torch of relative freedom to each succeeding generation.
Those who have no avowed faith in God, but choose to believe that the world is the creation of a chemical or electrical accident, quite naturally would fall in love with a scientific postulation. These could accept a scientific reality. But, neither Communism nor chaos are scientific; and not only are they unscientific, they are also antiscientific.
The principles of Communism fail to take into account any cause-and-effect sequence outside of the material universe where 'the state' is supreme. They do not allow for the development of the full potential of the Christ within the individual and his unlimited spiritual resources as a son of God. They ignore the inequalities produced by individual karma, and they attempt to force economic equality in direct opposition to the laws of nature which declare: "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."2 If there is one thing that history has proven, it is that any system which defies nature and its immutable laws is doomed to failure - with or without the assistance of the Hegelian synthesis.
The commonweal of divinity is an electrifying concept that has stirred the hearts of the world's great thinkers throughout the ages. Let men and women, then, learn to scorn chaos as the handmaid of Communism and realize that the vacuum that anarchy creates is yet abhorred by nature. The wheel of progress that moves toward greater freedom and peace and toward greater benefits for the world is geared to no automatic pilotage. It requires the guiding hands of those who will accept the challenges of the hour, notwithstanding the dangers inherent in this or any age, and who will seek to guide humanity in a way of justice and reality.
It must be borne in mind that there is no one specific individual who would destroy freedom on the planet, but there are many councils dedicated to the promotion of rebellion operating in America and the free world as well as behind the iron and bamboo curtains. These forces as well as those sponsoring World Communism do not need to exercise restraint in the nations they have already conquered. A look at the globe will reveal that the great land masses and populations of the world are being slowly absorbed into a great protoplasmic octopus, a seething sea of people dominated by a 'central committee' and an unfortunate manifesto issued by Karl Marx, the most damning indictment of freedom that has ever been written! If his foul logic is to be believed and followed, then the forces of freedom would indeed perish from the earth.
As harbingers of this continual swallowing up of the world's landed areas and peoples by the forces of Communism and anarchy, the dark plotters have operated in America in the subbasements of life, preparing their take-over of the nation, not by destructive acts of war "unless necessary," according to their teachings, but rather by invading the universities and school systems of the country. There they have sought to destroy the faith and the morality of the young students and to take over the institutions of religion where they could not accomplish the total breakdown of individual self-respect by the systematic destruction of Christian values.
By using those whom they already controlled and engaging others whom they could not control in a fraudulent battle for social equality, they have effectively mobilized large segments of the American population. They have spread abroad the use of dangerous drugs, multiplied human vices by the corruption of the media, destroyed the sanctity of the home and family and the cultural fluency of beautiful music. They have created a climate of fear in the political world and manipulated the tax and financial structure of the nation so as to provide vehicles through which to cut off supply to the forces of freedom. Currently, they are raising the prices of staples right on the shelves in the stores and warehouses as another means of accomplishing their ends.
Never before have so few affected the lives of so many adversely. Never before have so many distortions flowed forth and by the viciousness of their lies prevented men from knowing the truth that would make them free.
Albeit I am no alarmist, I know that the words of Paul Revere, "The Redcoats are coming!" must now be applied to the Communists who are already here and who, in great overconfidence, are pouring out of their holes and revealing their true identity. Their names are becoming known to the American public, while the politicos sit back and, in uncertainty, label the lovers of freedom by the title, "silent majority."
The time has come when the silent majority must be silent no longer! As surely as truth lives, if men continue to be silent and to fail to support the causes of freedom, they will themselves be cut off from reality or even from life among the living by the machinations of the destructive forces now rallying to gain absolute control of America's destiny.
A steady stream of poisonous energy is pouring forth from the presses of the world. Distortions are numberless. Commentators paid by the forces of revolution constantly broadcast messages of dissent and destruction to the subconscious as well as conscious minds of men. Even the advertisements of the world are using the theme, "Revolution is now."
America and the free world, awake before it is too late! Once the take-over is complete, long will be the dark night when freedom will seem extinct among men. I urge, even now, that all who love freedom will consider the importance of converging upon Colorado Springs for our great Freedom Rally in July. This is a year of vital destiny when the patriots must rise as never before and recognize that the words of the great master of old, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do,"3 must be used in consideration of the innocent victims among the youth of the world.
There are many among them who see. Although the blind lead the blind and shall all fall into the ditch,4 there are great potential leaders among the youth, vital and courageous men and women who, proud of their ancient heritage and tradition, see that the banner of freedom must not be lowered and that the quality of life must be improved. These know that a correct appraisal of history will extend to man a view that will provide him with the necessary understanding to make right decisions and to take a right course of action in this day and age.
There have always been greedy men upon this earth. There have always been men who would sell their souls for a price. There have always been blackguards in high places. Some men do evil and know that they do it; some men do it ignorantly and innocently. But whereas these men, whose dark deeds would destroy all beauty and freedom upon earth, remain entrenched in positions of power as moguls of the worlds of finance, entertainment, and politics, the fact remains that they are still in the minority seeking to control the majority.
In the great sea of humanity the Lord has sown dedicated souls who are now ready to rally to the cause of making this world free under God-dominion. God gave man the gift of freedom within his heart. He must nourish it and make it live in this age so that the lessons of the Prince of Peace, of the Buddha, of Mohammed, and of all of the enlightened teachers of the world, known or unknown, can, not in a sense of competition but in a sense of completion, order the world and the life of the individual. These lessons will show him clearly how he can find the power to overcome the dark and sordid side of human nature and become imbued with the faith, the wisdom, the wit, the joy, and the surety that will be his bond on the pathway to life everlasting.
For freedom and victory to all among humanity, and for the ultimate emancipation of the world, I remain
