Concerning the World Situation

Ananda Tara Shan, 2 June, 2002

[The following text was written in reply to a question from an individual about the Israeli and Palestinian situation.]

In response to your question, I have to be truthful here and say that there is no smaller brother and no bigger brother in the Israeli-Palestinian situation, unless you look to the Bible's description of the two brothers, sons of Abraham, where Ishmael was the big brother and Isaac the smaller brother. The Israelis, like other people, are a people of good and evil intentions and many desires in their political arena, in religious groups and in viewpoints towards each other and fellow beings. You can say exactly the same of the Palestinians and of any other nation and people on Earth.

The problem in the Middle East is that a minority of Israelis and Palestinians are at war with each other and this causes a conflict for everyone on Earth, even though many Israelis and Palestinians have no wish for any conflict, only a wish to live in peace with each other.

Unfortunately, the majority of humanity has not much say in the matter of decisions of their governing bodies with their other hidden agendas. Peaceful protest marches do not change much. And even in those marches, the negative forces use vehicles for stirring up trouble and aggression, which disrupt the whole purpose for the others.

It takes many leaders of true fairness and true love for their fellow beings to change the world for the better . . . and time for those is not yet right. Humanity must choose which way to go before such leaders can appear.

Those leaders, when they come, must step in and do what is obvious to anyone: take charge and separate warring factions from hurting each other before they destroy the Earth and most of the human family.

In the legal system there is something called guardianship or trusteeship, where legally the authorities can step in if needed in personal strife and where a person appears to have lost his/her mind due to psychological causes or disease. Then the legal system appoints a trustee to take legal action and responsibility for that person's welfare and finances.

The same ought to happen in cases of citizens of a nation being divided by inner warring or in cases where two nations or more are killing each other senselessly and with much hatred. The United Nations should be permitted to step in and take charge without having to answer to the governments of those nations. There is always a danger of this right being abused, however, with the right leaders being elected, this abuse can be minimised.

What, then, is a right leader? That is a man or woman whose heart and mind are united in a balanced and harmonious way and whose motives are clearly felt as purely altruistic.

It seems as if a small group of people are making life very inhuman for the rest of humanity. And who is that small group? Different nationalities of men and women who live for power and for personal gain. They are willing to commit any act, however devious, evil, and self-serving, to gain power and get rich, and to keep both for as long as their lifetime lasts or longer, usually trying by every dirty and mean action to step up both power and wealth.

They stand behind companies (sometimes their own) like dark shadows, and they meddle and interfere in world affairs to obtain more power, even if it is a hidden power, and in order to make more money, usually at the expense of enormous human suffering.

We find these people as big weapon dealers, major drug company executives and owners, high ranking military personnel, elevated church officers, instigators of sex and games, computer company officers, bankers, dictators, high ranking fanatical religious leaders, and secret police. Those high ranking people use any person who is willing to be used, whether for money, for fear, for fanatical reasons, or for sex, exploiting any human weakness and usually teaching people to become dependent upon their weaknesses.

Money is funnelled into warfare to boost the weapons industry. Money is funnelled into all areas of creating dependency in human beings. People who have invented free energy resources have long been killed or threatened so that big oil and petrol companies can increase their wealth. Bankers are protecting their shareholders at the cost of literally taking money from those who are not shareholders. And so the list goes on.

Behind these business tyrants, elitist church officers, and so forth, you find an even smaller group of men and women who hold the whole world in their vice-like grip. They dictate to governments, presidents, high executives and the like how they want the governments to run their personal investments. They are faceless and even the previously mentioned group does not know them. Who do you think excites nations to war with each other? Who do you think really elects certain presidents? Who do you think kills politicians and these scientists who wish to truly aid humanity to lift into a higher spiral of life?

When you watch movies about such people who rule the world with their money and who own higher ranking offices, when you read about known scientists disappearing without a trace, then you should know that these movies are telling real stories and those scientists have been abducted and killed by certain people.

Do you believe for one second that the Palestinians and the Israelis would fight each other without inducement from certain factions? Do you believe for one second that the Indians and Pakistanis would be on the brink of war if it weren't for insane and merciless people who speculate in warfare and religion as a means to take the spirit out of their fellow beings so that they can control them like sheep?

The planet Earth might be pretty from outer space and have beautiful nature and shining oceans. The planet Earth may have some good-natured inhabitants, but there is a vast group of humanity who use hypnotism, psychological methods, murder and theft to get what they want. And who can stop them other than the Spiritual Hierarchy, helped by people of goodwill and those disciples who will willingly act as peacemakers and peacekeepers in all branches of life.

Who will dare to say the truth and not elect politicians who talk with words of greed and act out of greed? Who will dare to show that they love the Earth without acting with aggression and violence?

When will the United Nations dare to act with courage and one-pointed purpose instead of spending the time talking while nations destroy themselves?

Who is not owned by someone who leads them by a rope around their necks? Who will battle for the poor, the sick, and the old to give them a dignified life?

Some do, but not enough, for too many are receivers and not givers. Too many are passive and not active. Too many wish to realise their personal dreams at the cost of other people's dreams and existence.

And selfishness is smelled everywhere you go. Not enough are committing themselves to prayer and meditation, not to mention world healing services, for they have no sincere wish to help humanity in its evolution but instead are spending all their money and time at useless mind emptying pursuits and looking for sexual satisfaction when none can be found due to karma and dharma.

When you work for the Light you discover a world beyond the ordinary world.

You discover clean and fresh smells.

You discover fine and well-meaning people.

You discover a real purpose behind your life: that of helping others in this world.

You discover elevated beings of beauty and love who love you unconditionally and whose hearts are so pure that you cry when you are near them.

You discover your Higher Self - your higher nature.

You discover that you can change the world around you with light.

You discover your Guru who has loved you always since the beginning of your time.

You discover that behind the blinding light are endless worlds built of light substance and there your true home is.

You discover that in your spirit you are part of God.

You discover so many things that your heart suddenly burst open like a rose unfolds all its petals simultaneously and you find joy.

This joy will hold you up as you continue to walk about in your physical body on the physical level of Earth where not many manifestations are pretty but where you incarnated yourself, attracted by unresolved hatred, fear, and karma, and also by past loving relationships. And you may discover that you volunteered to come here as a light bringer to bring light, joy, and rescue to others.

I have painted a picture of a world that exists, but which has little influence upon our life, for we who live in Maitreya's Heart are here to alleviate suffering in others, not to harm and hurt.

With eyes of realism we must not let ourselves be discouraged by what we observe, but instead offer our services now to spread light wherever we go.
