E: Let’s begin and see how these topics converge. We begin with war which is the unfortunate pastime of your governmental and corporate leadership; an easy method of accruing profits via bloodshed. It is a simple machine to put in motion. Ignorance and prejudice are fostered by the churches, mass media propaganda and the lack of critical thinking in most education. Throw in a mixture of age old animosities, undiminished self interest and the tendency toward violence when there are numbers of poor and disenfranchised, bake with a few black ops events and voila, war is served!

However, I’ll move from this dark humor to a few current specifics. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_A._McChrystal General McChrystal] affair is anything but what is being reported in the press. McChrystal made his career in black ops and assassination. He is far from a lighted figure but became aware of the growingly aggressive plans for war fostered by Israel and supported by the United States against their target du jour, Iran. McChrystal may be a merciless character in the field but he is a soldier at heart and he realized his troops would be proverbial fish in a barrel in the Islamic world if Israel attacks Iran with tacit or aggressive US military support. That attack would cause an all out war in the Middle East, which is the intent of Israel although the result is not in their immediate knowing.

The Muslim populations at odds in Afghanistan, Pakistan and elsewhere would unite against the common enemy, Israel, and also the US who would either be a co-aggressor or an ally to Israel’s aggression. US supply lines to Afghanistan through Pakistan and other Muslim countries, already stretched extremely thin, would become non-existent and the US would quickly discover the absurdity of war in the Hindu Kush as Britain and other empires learned. McChrystal did not want his troops slaughtered for the benefit of Israel and was strongly opposed to such a conflict. His “insubordinations” were anecdotal comments in which he vented his scorn and opposition without articulating specific reasons. He intended his comments to be known hoping that if he threw himself upon his own sword he might be able to avert war. He was removed as other military commanders who opposed the previous presidential puppet, and replaced by the ultimate politician, David Petraeus. Petraeus has not the connection or conviction of loyalty to his command that McChrystal does and will be happy to support the planned war against Iran should his political advantage require it, which his acceptance of the position indicates.

Within the question and answer formats of recent vintage and the many forums that are devoted to the greater work, there are some questions that inspire transformation and there is also a great deal of idle consideration that does nothing but cloak the spirit and further the opacity of human mentality. We are not here to further such directions and it behooves everyone whose dedication is toward the Light to examine their words carefully, to consider the words of another before giving them credence or support, to watch carefully the actions of those who demand attention or respect to perceive whether or not such gifts are requited and most particularly, to examine one’s own actions.

These are words to take to heart. You and I have discussed many times over the last few weeks the importance of resting while remaining vigilant and remaining vigilant while being at rest. This is balance and required in these days of great change, of Gaia’s birthing into a new Body, a new Presence and Spiritual formation. You cannot be on watch every moment of your waking days but even in rest you can be awake and given the proper preparation even your sleep can provide advantage. These are not times for the faint of heart. Though every molecule of your metal will be tested you will have the benefit of these events and your participation in them forever on your journey into full consciousness. Use your life force well and such use will serve you and Our Mission in ways you can only begin to imagine.
