No
nation is an island
Restoring
the WORD in Britain 4.
A dictation by Saint Germain. This message was given
on Saturday, October 27, 2007 during the Shangra-la conference in Britain.
Saint Germain I AM, and as my beloved
brother MORE, I have spent several lifetimes on this island. My
beloved, I came also to set forth an example of how to be a man without
misusing power. So I came to give a slightly different role model than
the one represented by King Arthur, and the various embodiments of Master
MORE as Thomas More and Thomas Becket.
For I came to show the man who is not necessarily a man of government,
not necessarily a man of action in the sense of being involved with
society, but a man of ideas, of science, of knowledge, of even understanding
how the material universe works; working on transmutation, transforming
base elements of the human consciousness into the gold of the Christ
consciousness.
So, my beloved, I came to bring forth that example—that a man
does not have to be on the battlefield in order to be powerful. For
indeed, knowledge is power, understanding is power, wisdom is power.
And that is why you have the saying that the pen is mightier than the
sword, and I played some part in making that a commonly known statement.
So my beloved, I have come in a couple of embodiments* to set the foundation
for the emergence of modern science. But of course I did not come as
a person who was devoted only to science, to the intellect, to the analytical
mind. I came as an example of a person who was still intuitive and therefore
very much seeking that attunement to the spiritual realm, as MORE was
saying that he was representing the attunement to higher principles,
to the higher principles of God Government, expressed as the king, or
as the one who stood up to the king.
Well, I represented another aspect of this, the attunement to higher
knowledge. To bringing forth the practical knowledge that will allow
human beings to transform their society into a higher state. And this,
my beloved, is certainly something that I would like to see people in
this age understand.
The need to combine science and spirituality
For what is the age in which you live? Is it not often characterized
as the information age? But should it not rather be characterized as
the wisdom age? For should we not help modern people develop the discernment
that knowing facts may be useful, but it is far more useful to have
the wisdom to put those facts in their proper context? And that wisdom
can come not from the intellect, not from the senses, not from the knowledge
that can be gleaned through physical, scientific instruments, but only
when science is combined with intuitive insights.
You will indeed see – if you study the lives of the greatest scientists
– that they all had intuitive insights that allowed them to make
some of their greatest breakthroughs. And this is indeed the example
that was set forth in the legend of Merlin, who knew through an intuitive
knowing how the universe worked, and how to therefore have a certain
mastery of mind over matter.
Again, my beloved, as Roger Bacon and as Francis Bacon, I attempted
to set forth the example of a person open to science but not closed
to spirituality. For the example I wanted to bring forth is that science
and spirituality are two sides of the coin of life, and you will only
have complete wisdom when you combine the two.
For as you see so clearly in modern society, the scientists may have
great intelligence and great knowledge of factual things, but do they
always have the wisdom to know whether what could be done,
should be done? And that wisdom can come only from the intuitive
attunement to one’s own Higher Being – and to the greater
Being of the Ascended Host – so that a scientist will know why
a certain idea is brought forth and that it is brought for the raising
up of all, rather than to be misused to empower the power elite and
give them even more control over the people.
For you see, my beloved, technology in itself is not evil. I have sponsored
modern science and the development of much of modern technology for
the pragmatic reason that I knew that unless people were set free from
the drudgery of how they made a living during the Middle Ages, well
there was no chance that we would ever have a spiritual awakening on
this planet. So there is nothing inherently evil about technology. But
as everything else, it can be used for good or it can be used for not
good. It can be used in a egotistical sense to enrich one person or
the elite, or it can be used in the altruistic sense to enrich all life
and bring forth the abundant life for all people in a society.
The good and the not so good about nuclear technology
So, my beloved, take as an example of this nuclear technology. It can
be used as a source of energy that does not pollute if it is handled
correctly. And thus, if handled correctly, it could be a viable alternative
to oil and coal that do pollute the environment. This is not to say
that nuclear technology is the ultimate technology, but I am making
a point here. And the point is that what you have seen instead is that
nuclear technology has been misused to create nuclear weapons that are
controlled by whom, my beloved? Well, by the elite, who controls the
Government and the military that has, so to speak, their fingers on
the button that can unleash nuclear weapons on this planet.
But beyond that you see that nuclear weapons have actually had a very
subtle and profound effect on the consciousness of the people, in terms
of making them so afraid of a nuclear war that they have often been
afraid to stand up for principles or for freedom for fear of what could
happen.
You saw, for example, during the Cold War, how many people in the West
were intimidated into silence, of not speaking out against the Soviet
Union and world communism for fear of creating a tension that could
escalate into a nuclear war. You see somewhat of a similar effect today,
where many people in the West are intimidated into not speaking out
against radical Islam for fear of precipitating terrorist attacks. And
so you see, my beloved, the power elite have used nuclear weapons to
induce fear in the population.
Now it must be said, my beloved, that nuclear weapons have also had
some positive effects, and this is indeed why nuclear technology was
brought forth. Because it was determined that humankind was so caught
up in the spiral of one war leading to the next war – where you
clearly see the First World War setting the stage for the Second World
War; and the Second World War setting the stage for the Cold War; and
the tension between the communist block and the Western block –
that surely would have precipitated another war, had it not been for
the fact that humankind was given the ultimate destructive technology,
so that they could see that the cost of waging another war was simply
too high.
And thus, even though the power elite have used nuclear weapons as a
form of intimidation, they themselves of course have been caught by
the same fear that they have projected at the people. And so they have
actually been afraid to start that Third World War for fear that they
could not actually gain an advantage from it.
You see, my beloved, when you look at the Second World War, you can
see clearly how the military-industrial complex, as some call it, did
indeed profit greatly from that war. But they only profited because
the war did not destroy civilization as a whole, and therefore they
had the opportunity to spend their profit.
Whereas if you had unleashed the full force of nuclear weapons, well
then who would have been left standing to spend their profits? And so
you see how we sometimes have to go to these extreme measures to get
people to pause and say: “We can no longer go down this path,
for we will destroy ourselves!”
Those who learn only from the school of hard knocks
So you see, my beloved, those who are blinded by power will keep moving
down the path of seeking to attain greater and greater power, and they
are seemingly unreachable by reason, and cannot be awakened. And that
is why they will not be awakened until they realize that they now have
attained a power that – if unleashed – will actually destroy
themselves also and not just those who oppose them in the dualistic
struggle.
And so you can have a situation where those who are literally so blinded
by duality and selfishness that they are beyond the point of insanity,
can be somewhat awakened from that insanity by realizing that the effects
of using the power they have will be so devastating that they will literally
destroy themselves. This, my beloved, is also one of the reasons why
in past ages, the concept of a hell was given. So that those who were
the most self-centered, egotistical people could be awakened by this
fear of something that was so bad that it finally made them realize
the need to change course.
Yet, my beloved, this of course is a very risky strategy that we would
much prefer to avoid. But as we have explained before, when people will
not learn through the path of higher knowledge, through the path of
following a true spiritual teacher, well then they must learn through
the school of hard knocks. And they will keep escalating the situation
until the knocks get harder and harder. And then – every time
the knocks get harder – well there is at least a percentage of
the egotistical lifestreams that are awakened. Finally some sense is
knocked into them, as they say. And they wake up and realize: “We
have to change!”
Of course, the danger is always that there are some who are not awakened
until they face the ultimate self-destruction, as you saw with Adolf
Hitler, who until the very end believed that he could survive, and only
in the very last hours realized that it had gone too far and that self-destruction
was inevitable.
And so, there is a potential that some leader like that could unleash
nuclear weapons, and it would be too late to stop it. Nevertheless,
even if one nation was to do this, there is still the possibility that
others would not respond in kind but would indeed pause and realize
that sometimes there is wisdom in not responding in kind, but turning
the other cheek.
So again, we have hope that humankind will move beyond the possibility
that nuclear weapons will ever be used and therefore rise to a higher
understanding of power and realize, as Mother
Mary discoursed on, that true power is based on love, not on fear.
The true servant leader is ALWAYS giving
And so I would expound a little bit upon these concepts given by Mother
Mary. For you see, my beloved, true power can only come from God. God
desires to raise up all creation, for as Jesus said, it is the Father’s
good pleasure to give you the kingdom. God wants all people to have
the abundant life. So the true power of God is an expansive power, which
is why it comes from love. Because God’s unconditional love is
an expansive love that is always giving out, for it is aimed at raising
up all life.
And when you understand the
Oneness of all life, when you understand the infinity of God’s
love – that God’s love is inexhaustible – when you
understand the principle of multiplying the talents, you realize that
the more you give, the more you will receive from above.
And so you close that figure-eight
flow, and that is enlightened self-interest. This then is when you
align yourself with the River of Life, seeking to give more and more,
to raise up all life instead of raising up yourself in comparison to
others. And so you see, my beloved, real power is always expansive,
is always giving out, is always seeking to raise up.
And so, if you have a king, or an emperor, or a Prime Minister, or a
President that is in tune with true God Power, well then that leader
will do everything in his or her power to raise up the people, to give
them a higher form of life both spiritually and materially. Such a leader
will not in any way try to suppress the people. For the leader realizes
that he or she is the servant of God and the servant of the people.
And the more that the leader gives to the people, the more the leader
will receive from God. And that is real power – the servant leader
– where Christ expressed it this way: “He who would be greatest
among you, let him be the servant of all.” Not only all people,
but the ALL of all life.
And so, when you see leaders who are not giving, then you know that
you have somebody who is not a leader who is in any way sponsored or
anointed or appointed by God. Do you see, my beloved, the claim that
has been made that kings were appointed by God? It is a false claim
when those kings are not giving selflessly to their people but instead
seeking to take from the people and suppress the people and keep them
down.
Such a leader could never, ever, be appointed by God, could never represent
God,. Even a leader of a church could not represent God unless that
leader is seeking to raise up all among the congregation, instead of
seeking to keep them trapped in a mental box of doctrines and dogmas
and rules.
So you see, those who misuse power come from fear, and fear is the sense
of lack that comes from the sense of separation. “There is not
enough, so I must take as much as I can from others!” Instead,
my beloved, of applying the principle of alchemy, whereby you receive
more from the inexhaustible source, thus realizing that the appearance
of limitations, of lack, is nothing but an illusion. But that by bringing
the philosopher’s stone, you can accelerate the limited state
into greater abundance. Thus, you can literally quicken the atoms of
lead into the quicker, faster vibration of the atoms of gold.
Golden Age leadership
My beloved, it is indeed possible to transform lead into gold. But the
true science of alchemy is more symbolic for wanting to transmute the
human consciousness into the spiritual consciousness—to turn human
beings into spiritual beings, into sons and daughters of God.
This then, my beloved, is what all true leaders should be seeking to
do—to raise up their people so that the people can express their
highest spiritual potential and truly come into that Golden Age consciousness
that will then precipitate the Golden Age. For, my beloved, a leader
who is abusing power will never be able to manifest a Golden Age in
his society. For a Golden Age civilization cannot be based on fear.
It must be based on love. For only through love can you access the infinite
source of God. And only then can you manifest a Golden Age.
For, my beloved, what IS a Golden Age? Well, it is a society that is
not seeking to use only what is in the material universe in order to
create wealth. For if a society bases its wealth on the material, well
then it is inevitable that there will be lack. And it is then inevitable
that you will see the formation of an elite who will hoard wealth by
taking it from the people. You see this pattern over and over again
in history.
It is not rocket science to explain this to people. They are ready to
understand these concepts in today’s world. So a Golden Age society
is one that recognizes that there is no physical limitation that is
set in stone, but that it is possible to apply the principles of alchemy
to bring forth more abundance from a higher realm into the material
realm and therefore increase the amount of wealth that is available.
And this, then, becomes the foundation for a Golden Age society that
escapes the consciousness of lack, by realizing that when everyone works
together, combining their minds and their actions, they can precipitate
so much wealth that there is no lack and thus there is no need for anyone
to hoard. For those who are the leaders of a Golden Age society are
not the ones who are trapped in fear. They are the ones who are the
most attuned to divine love, so they are the servant-leaders and therefore
they are not seeking to hoard for themselves. They are seeking only
to use their position of authority to give more and more to the people,
to raise up the people.
And that is why you see – in so many past civilizations, including
what you see today – that you have this power elite that are so
based on fear and it is their fear that has propelled them to leadership
positions. Do you not see this, my beloved? Surely you do, when you
think about this. And I can assure you that people are ready to understand
this – and they are especially ready here in Britain – to
understand that it is time for them to demand a new form of leadership
in this nation—that is an enlightened form of leadership, NOT
based on fear and lack but based on love and abundance.
Insensitivity and leadership
This, my beloved, is what the people desire to see. And as my brother
MORE was expressing, you see this represented in the reaction to the
death of Princess Diana, where she had come to represent that hope of
a different form of leadership that was sensitive to the people. Because,
of course, the false leaders who are in fear and who, as Mother Mary
explained, have already put themselves down by thinking they are not
worthy of love, well then they become insensitive to themselves, my
beloved. And that is why they are completely insensitive to the people.
But even though they may seem to be all about themselves, they are actually,
in a deeper sense, completely insensitive toward themselves. And that
is why you will see that some of the most abusive leaders known to humankind,
such as Hitler, had that complete insensitivity.
Because you are not actually dealing with a person in a normal sense
of the word. For in becoming so completely insensitive, he had been
so taken over by the non-material
forces that exist in the emotional realm, that he was barely ever
making his own decisions but was just driven by these forces that wanted
to use him as a tool for destruction. And that is why he became so blinded
that he could not see that this would inevitably lead to his own destruction.
And so you see, there, the insensitivity that you also saw in the British
Queen in her response to the death of Diana, and how the people realized
that they had a monarchy which was largely insensitive to their feelings,
to their very lives. And the people are ready to demand a different
form of leadership that is sensitive to the people because the leaders
are sensitive to themselves.
But you see, my beloved, again we have one of these situations that
form a catch-22. For how can the people demand a higher form of leadership,
when they themselves have been so suppressed for so long that in order
to be able to cope with the outer conditions, they have made themselves
insensitive, they have numbed themselves?
So you see the effect that once a country goes into the spiral of the
misuse of power, you have the oppressive leaders who are insensitive
to themselves and insensitive to the people, and therefore oppress the
people. And the people know this is wrong, but if they feel paralyzed
and powerless to do something about it, well then how can they cope
with the situation and go on existing? They can do so only by making
themselves almost as insensitive to themselves as the leaders are.
So you now have both a false leadership and a population who is blinded
by this insensitivity. And how can you break the spell? Well, my beloved,
you can break the spell only if those in the top 10 percent, the most
spiritually aware people, decide to make the effort to free themselves
from the insensitivity and to speak out and demand a better way—and
speak out in many ways to demonstrate that there is a way to move beyond
this insensitivity, this numbness, this sense of being powerless, this
sense that nothing matters and that we cannot fight the establishment.
Someone must be willing to be like the little child in the story of
the Emperor’s New Clothes and say: “But the emperor has
nothing on! This is all an illusion! These people are false leaders
because they come from fear that makes them insensitive. But there is
a better way, and it is time to demand a true leadership based on higher
principles.” And, as my brother was saying, indeed with the British
people it is their destiny, their divine plan, to give an example of
such a society, where you demand leaders that are based on higher principles
are therefore you have an enlightened leadership.
Overcoming the island mentality
Now, my beloved, I would speak of the island mentality, for you can
surely see that a big part of this mentality is precisely insensitivity.
For when you have become insensitive to yourself, you have numbed yourself
to the possibility for change. This makes a people backward-looking.
This makes them want to avoid change, and so they want to isolate themselves
from other people who might actually induce the potential or the impulse
for change.
And so it is the insensitivity that the British people have built up
by being oppressed by the false leaders that has created the island
mentality. And, my beloved, if you look back at history, especially
on the British Empire, you will know – if you think about this
– that the people themselves did not actually want to be part
of violently, forcefully suppressing other nations. For they are not
truly a warring people [if they were, they would not want to isolate
themselves but would be an aggressively outgoing people]. But they felt
they had no way out of it, and so they made themselves more insensitive
in order to cope with the situation.
And this then created this sense that: “We Brits are different
from the people on the continent, and we are set apart and that is the
way things should be.” And so you have, even today, this sense
that the English people do not want to engage with Europe; do not want
to see themselves as a part of Europe. For they are afraid that in order
to become part of something larger, they might have to change some of
the things they cannot conceive of changing because, my beloved, what
would it require for a people to change?
Well, they must overcome their insensitivity to themselves. Because
the insensitivity causes people to cling to what is known, to what is
comfortable—because they have become used to it even though it
truly is not comfortable at all. But they have simply become numb. And
so in their numbness, in their insensitivity, they feel they have some
sense of equilibrium that allows them to go on, on a daily basis. And
so the thought of change breaks that sense of equilibrium, and that
is why they tend to shy away from it and cling to what is familiar.
Yet, my beloved, as Master MORE was saying, you see also the growth
in the British people, the expansion of consciousness. And you see,
for example, the very fact that the majority of the people truly did
not support Britain’s participation in the military misadventure
in Iraq. And this shows you that the British people have moved on from
the days of the Empire, where in many cases they were supportive [out
of national loyalty] of the military adventure and the forceful expansion
of the Empire.
And so, you see that the consciousness has changed, and it has changed
dramatically, although it still has not quite broken through to the
conscious awareness of a critical mass of the people. But this can happen,
and it is very close, as my brother MORE was expressing. And I can assure
you that I also feel an excitement by contemplating the potential for
this nation. I feel a great sense of gratitude and excitement at being
able to speak here in this nation, because I can speak into the mass
consciousness in a different way by having a messenger physically present
than could be done from a distance.
A positive vision for Britain’s contribution to Europe
So you see, my beloved, the British people are ready to overcome the
island mentality, the insensitivity. But the key to overcoming it is
to give them a positive vision, so they overcome the fear that Europe
will influence Britain negatively. And instead, they lock in to the
positive vision that Britain has a positive, constructive contribution
to make to European society and the European Union. But, of course,
Britain can do so only by demanding that enlightened leadership, based
on allegiance to higher principles.
For you see, my beloved,
the European Union is potentially a step in the right direction towards
a greater unification of the people of Europe. But as has been explained
here, even when you grow on the spiritual path, there is a potential
that you can come to a point, where you use your attainment on the path
for egotistical purposes—rather than deciding to overcome the
ego. And so, even though the European Union is a step towards Oneness,
there is a potential that it can be perverted into becoming only a materialistic
union that is based on the desire for economic growth or, even worse,
military strength.
And so you see, my beloved, what we desire to see is that in the mix
of Europe and the European Union, is introduced the concept that we
cannot be just a material union, we must also be a union based on an
allegiance to higher principles. And certainly, this does not mean the
allegiance to a particular outer religion, but the recognition that
there is a higher authority, a higher reality, a higher source of truth.
And that we will only ultimately have a sustainable society when our
society is based on those timeless principles, which will allow our
society to continue to exist without destroying itself through its internal
contradictions.
And this, my beloved, is precisely the potential that the British people
have, and how they could make a contribution to Europe. And thereby,
they would overcome their fear of having a negative influence from Europe
or having to give up certain things that they consider they could not
live without.
My beloved, certainly the British people could live without the pound
and could adopt a European currency. Would that really be such a big
loss, my beloved? No. It is only sensed as a loss because of the fear
of change that comes from insensitivity, causing people to cling to
tradition; to cling to what has become a symbol for what they look back
upon as the greatness of the Empire. But they only do this because they
have no forward vision that Britain could become far greater in a different
way than they were in the past. That is also why they cling to the monarchy
and why they cling to history and tradition.
You see, my beloved, the correct use of power is expansive, is giving,
and thus it leads to transcendence. And when you are flowing with the
River of Life, you have no fear of lack, so you have no fear that the
future will be worse than today or worse than the past because you realize
that in the River of Life things can only accelerate. And thus, why
would you need to look back to the past or cling to past traditions,
when you realize that those past traditions represented the highest
point of the time but that there is something beyond it, and that you
only reach that something beyond by letting go of the past?
So you see, the clinging to history is again based on fear and the sense
of lack. Whereas when you lock in to the River of Life and the potential
for expansion, you are not so attached to the past. You see it as the
lead that must be infused with the Spirit and thus transcended into
a better future. And then, all of a sudden, you realize that making
certain practical concessions in order to bring yourself into alignment
with Europe is a necessary sacrifice that is not even a sacrifice.
For, my beloved, if Britain was to give up the pound and adopt the metric
system in order to be aligned with Europe in a more practical sense,
well, what could be achieved instead was that the gift of Britain became
the English language, which could be adopted as the universal language
of the European nation, the European Union. And so you would, therefore,
see that there is a give and take in everything, but that overall, there
is no real loss. For you simply move on to a different level.
And so I would impress upon you that by giving up a few things, you
actually attain more. And you would also, by being willing to give up
these things, overcome your own island mentality—but you would
also overcome the reverse island mentality. Where many people in Europe
do see the Brits as being separatist, isolationist, and in some ways
“stuck up,” feeling they are better than others, and that
is why they do not want to get their hands dirty by dealing with those
more “primitive” nations on the continent.
And so, for there to be the right flow where the British people can
fulfill their destiny to bring higher principles, well you see, my beloved,
not only do we need to break down the island mentality in Britain, but
we also need to break down the mentality or the perception in Europe,
so that people will be willing to listen to what the British people
have to contribute to the European Union. Without feeling that the Brits
are coming from some sense of superiority and that they want people
in Europe to adopt ideas from Britain but they are not willing to let
anything come the other way.
Love is the key
And so, my beloved, love is truly the key. I have a great love for the
people of Britain. I have a great love for all people. My love is unconditional
and infinite. Yet even unconditional love can be focussed on a particular
people at a particular time. And this does not truly exclude others,
for unconditional love can never be exclusive. But being that I am speaking
in the physical here in Britain, I do want to express my unconditional
love for the British people.
I have been embodied among you. I have had the privilege of serving
to bring forth certain ideas, including the Shakespearean plays, to
set forth a foundation for the British language, being a language that
is uniquely suited for expressing spiritual concepts. And this has been
done because I have seen the potential for this nation, for these people,
to rise up and throw off all of the oppressors and truly fulfill their
spiritual potential.
So, my beloved, when you are insensitive, you do not feel you are worthy
of love. You do not feel you can receive love and certainly you do not
feel you can express love. Which is why you see the mentality of people
in Britain often being somewhat reserved and not expressing deeper emotions,
but instead using humor as a way to hide their emotions behind that
facade of being funny or even being sarcastic and self-critical.
Certainly, it is better to be self-critical in a humorous way than a
non-humorous way, but it is still a way to hide your deeper emotions.
And thus, I want to pour out – through this physical vessel and
all of those of you who are here – that unconditional love to
the British people, that they might sense that they are worthy of love,
that God loves them, and they might come to accept that.
And thus, as did Mother Mary, I ask you to listen to the meditation
music that will be played. And while you are listening, tune in to the
flow of unconditional love and feel how you go beyond actually accepting
it for yourself, as Mother Mary focused on, but you go beyond it to
feeling that you ARE that flow, you are One with the flow. And thus,
it is flowing through your lower being and flowing out, covering this
entire island.
And those of you who are from other countries are certainly free to
see that love go to your countries as well. But I ask you to keep part
of your consciousness on saturating this island with the unconditional
love of God. Although I must say that the concept of saturating something
with unconditional love is somewhat of a misnomer, for unconditional
love is infinite, and thus you do not need a certain amount to saturate,
you just need one point of the Infinite to fill all.
Thus, I thank you for your attention, for your presence, and I also
congratulate you for having achieved a true victory here that will start
a catalytic process that will literally send shock waves, as it is,
through the collective consciousness in this nation. And you will see
that a change will begin to become more obvious in the physical in the
years to come.
So my gratitude for your presence.
[Meditation music was played and the participants used the power of
visualization to see Britain and the British people saturated with unconditional
love.]
