The Law of Karma

Or Cause and Effect – Part 6

Making Sense of Karma

Since none of us have all the answers when we all reach our individual ring-pass-not we are perplexed for a time, but then when we preserver we eventually break through and new understanding comes.

In the past I have stressed that good is that which moves us ahead in evolution and evil is that which holds us back. There is another way of looking at it as pointed out in the Aquarian Gospel.

It points out that evil is not necessarily the opposite of good, but good which is out of tune.

In other words good is playing the scale on a piano which is in tune. The sound is pleasant. But if the C note is out of tune then the sound is not pleasing. Now the C note does not have an opposite evil note, but this one note does have millions of variations which are close but out of tune, or evil.

When we are out of tune with the soul then we sound unpleasant notes and our actions are out of harmony, or what some would call evil. Even those who are out of tune are still trying to play good music, but the effort is fruitless until they attune themselves to the highest available within themselves.

Question: How does karma relate to this scripture about Cain: “And the Lord said unto him, therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him SEVENFOLD. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.” Gen 4:15

Those who seek to kill those who have the mark of Cain, which was set by God, is symbolic of those who are willing to do anything including murder to thwart higher will being accomplished on the earth. Such people incur a higher weight of karma for their deed has a more lasting effect.

The New Testament gives the correct law of karma which states: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” Gal 6:7

He shall not reap seven times what he sows, but an equivalent to what he sows.

Keep in mind also that there are numerous ways to pay off karma. The payment is always equivalent, but not always in similar kind.

If you owe a neighbor a cup of sugar he or she may be happy with a glass of wine, the loan of a newspaper or just good conversation for the payment.

Chapter 138 of the Aquarian Gospel give some interesting teachings on karma.

1 THE Lord with Peter, James and John were in Jerusalem; it was the Sabbath day.

2 And as they walked along the way they saw a man who could not see; he had been blind from birth.

3 And Peter said, Lord, if disease and imperfections all are caused by sin, who was the sinner in this case? the parents or the man himself?

4 And Jesus said, Afflictions all are partial payments on a debt, or debts, that have been made.

5 There is a law of recompense that never fails, and it is summarised in that true rule of life:

6 Whatsoever man shall do to any other man some other man will do to him.

7 In this we find the meaning of the Jewish law, expressed concisely in the words, Tooth for a tooth; life for a life.

8 He who shall injure any one in thought, or word, or deed, is judged a debtor to the law, and some one else shall, likewise, injure him in thought, or word or deed.

9 And he who shed the blood of any man will come upon the time when his blood shall be shed by man.

10 Affliction is a prison cell in which a man must stay until he pays his debts unless a master sets him free that he may have a better chance to pay his debts.

11 Affliction is a certain sign that one has debts to pay.

12 Behold this man! Once in another life he was a cruel man, and in a cruel way destroyed the eyes of one, a fellow man.

13 The parents of this man once turned their faces on a blind and helpless man, and drove him from their door.

14 Then Peter asked, Do we pay off the debts of other men when by the Word we heal them, drive the unclean spirits out, or rescue them from any form of sore distress?

15 And Jesus said, We cannot pay the debts of any man, but by the Word we may release a man from his afflictions and distress,

16 And make him free, that he may pay the debts he owes, by giving up his life in willing sacrifice for men, or other living things.

17 Behold, we may make free this man that he may better serve the race and pay his debts.

18 Then Jesus called the man and said, Would you be free? would you receive your sight?

19 The man replied, All that I have would I most freely give if I could see.

20 And Jesus took saliva and a bit of clay and make a salve, and put it on the blind man’s eyes.

21 He spoke the Word and then he said, Go to Siloam and wash, and as you wash say, Jahhevahe. This do for seven times and you shall see.

22 The man was led unto Siloam; he washed his eyes and spoke the word, and instantly his eyes were opened and he saw.

Toward Intelligent Progress, Part 7

Refugees

The Left is correct that we need to show compassion toward refugees, but the right is correct to point out that the people of Islam pose a higher statistical danger than those of other beliefs and some screening is necessary for the sake of national security.

Neither the left or the right believe that all Muslims are a threat, but we cannot escape the fact that a certain percentage are dangerous and this must be taken into consideration.

King Abdullah II of Jordan certainly sounds like one of the good Muslims and addressed terrorism in his remarks to the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, Sept 20, 2016) portraying the “network of extremist terrorists” as a force seeking “global dominance” so they can “erase human civilization, and drag us back to the dark ages.”

“My friends, when the outlaws of Islam, the khawarej, murder; when they plunder; when they exploit children and reject the equality of women before God, they abuse Islam,” Abdullah declared. “When the khawarej persecute minorities, when they deny freedom of religion – they abuse Islam.”

“Islam teaches that all humanity is equal in dignity. There is no distinction among different nations or regions or races. The Qur’an forbids coercion in religion. Every citizen is guaranteed the state’s protection for their lives, families, properties, honour, privacy, and freedom of religion and thought,” said Abdullah, who further argued that true Muslims “believe in the divine origin of the Bible and the Torah,” noting how often Moses, Jesus, and Mary are mentioned in the Koran.

Many Muslims, like King Abdullah, have advanced beyond the taking of all passages in black and white terms just as many Christians have with their own scriptures. Many are starting to put emphasis on the positive messages of the Quran rather than the negative and in this type of spiritual evolution lies great hope for Islam and the world

So, what should we do about the refugee problem then? Before we answer that problem we need to ask what their situation is now?

Many have a wrong idea of the situation of most of them seeing them as wandering hopelessly through the desert not knowing where their next food or drink will come from. The truth is most of the refugees outside Syria are living in a camp of some kind with their necessities taken care of, often including schooling for the children. There are certainly a number without shelter in Syria itself, but there’s no way to count them or assist them until they are registered with a neighboring nation or the U.N.

By last count (according to Wikipedia) there are almost 5 million registered as refugees and over a million more assumed to be unregistered. Fortunately, most of them have been taken in my neighboring Islamic countries where there is no clash of belief systems. Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan have taken in most of them totaling 4,431,000 registered refugees with a total of around 5,500,000 total.

There are an additional 6.5 million displaced people within Syria itself. These are equivalent to the homeless here in the United States. Many are in some type of tent city camp and others and looking for a permanent shelter.

At least these have an advantage over our homeless. When the homeless here attempt to build a tent city the government forces them to take it down while refugees suffer no such restrictions.

Assisting nations have donated over $17 billion in assistance with the United States giving $4.7 billion. This goes to various service organizations that assist the refugees with their necessities.

Unfortunately, there is always more in need in this world than there is power to assist. Where much attention is drawn to the 6.5 million of the displaced people in Syria many are not aware that there are many displaced in other nations.

Recent records indicate there are 6 million in Columbia, Iraq (3.6 million), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (2.8 million), Sudan (2.2 million), South Sudan (1.6 million), Pakistan (1.4 million), Nigeria (1.2 million) and Somalia (1.1 million).

In Iraq where there was a great displacement of Christians, instead of anyone taking them in many were merely exterminated. Although one of the most ancient civilizations in the world, Iraq’s Christian population has fallen from around 1.5 million in 2003 to far below 200,000 now in what many scholars condemn as tantamount to genocide.

There was little worry about any of these turning into terrorists, but their cries for help were ignored.

Here in America we have around three million who are displaced or homeless in any given year and an estimated 564,000 any given night.

The bottom line is this. Syrian refugees are just one of many who need assistance and many of them are in a better situation than the homeless right here in the USA, many who wind up sleeping under a bridge or in a city park. Others in the winter fight for their lives against freezing temperatures.

Since we cannot help all people in need of assistance the question becomes, who do we help?

We are already giving over $4 billion to assist Syrians, but plans in in place to accept many refugees. The government has plans to spend least $64,000 for each refugee settled here.

How does this compare with the cost of assisting our own homeless?

Over 40% of the homeless in the United States are parents with children which would mean that there are at least two people involved in the average homeless situation. If we took that $64,000 refugee cost and applied it to two homeless people then that would give us $128,000 in assisting them with shelter. We could rent them an apartment for $800 a month and house them for 13 years for that amount, or $128,000 would purchase a modest dwelling in many cities.

In addition to this the homeless pose a very low security risk.

The bottom line is that we cannot help everyone, but we should help where we can. As it is, we have to borrow money from our grandchildren and run up the national debt to help those within our own country increasing the danger of killing the goose that lays the golden egg.

Overall assistance to refugees is most cost effective in give financial assistance to the U.N. to help settle refugees in their own lands among people of similar belief systems.

Those in need of assistance will be with us for some time to come. The best we can do at present is to sharpen our pencils and do our best to make sure our assistance dollars are spent as wisely as possible so the maximum number can be helped.

Those immigrants and refugees that are accepted should be willing to abide by the oath required of naturalized citizens which is as follows:

“I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.”

To Profile or Not

The problems of wisely dealing with immigration, illegal immigration and refugees are similar. Here are some that need to be considered.

The number of people we can assimilate
Are any of them a security threat? If so what kind of percentage are we talking about?
How carefully should they be screened before allowed to stay?
Will they assimilate with our way of life and support our constitutional government?
Do they have needed skills?

In the past the United States has been quite liberal in accepting refugees. We have been very accepting of refugees fleeing totalitarian systems such as the old Soviet Union, Cuba and others. One of the reasons for our acceptance is that many refugees in the past seemed happy to adopt our way of life and Democratic government, feeling it is much superior to the one they are fleeing.

Unfortunately, the refugee problem as well as immigration has become more complicated since 2001, after the 9/11 attack. Since all the 19 Hijackers were devout Muslims many people have become concerned about members of this religion entering this country. Then it hasn’t helped that most of the terror attacks worldwide and within the country since then have been perpetrated by members of the Islamic faith.

People have thus becomes divided into two camps as far as accepting Muslim immigrants and refugees.

(1) Those who think Muslim immigrants should be carefully screened to make sure they will support the American System and not pose a threat.

Quite a few throughout the world seem to be in this category as here are results from Pew research:

A median of 50% across four Western European countries, the U.S. and Russia called Muslims violent and a median of 58% called them “fanatical,”

(2) Those who think any type of profiling is Islamophobic – that it would be wrong to look any more closely at them than anyone else.

So, does the first group have a point or should Muslims be of no more concern to us than any other belief system?

Let us take a look Muslims in the United States. Here are some statistics on their thinking according to polls.

51% agree that “Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Shariah Law. 51% also agreed that they should have the choice of American or Shariah courts, or that they should have their own tribunals to apply Shariah. Only 39% of those polled said that Muslims in the U.S. should be subject to American courts.
Nearly a quarter of the Muslims in America polled believed that, “It is legitimate to use violence to punish those who give offense to Islam by, for example, portraying the prophet Mohammed.”
Nearly one-fifth of Muslim respondents said that the use of violence in the United States is justified in order to make Shariah the law of the land in this country.
Pew Research revealed that 26% of younger Muslims in America believe suicide bombings are justified.

Here are just a few elements of Shariah Law that so many support:

Criticizing or denying any part of the Quran is punishable by death.
Criticizing Muhammad or denying that he is a prophet is punishable by death.
Criticizing or denying Allah, the god of Islam is punishable by death.
A Muslim who becomes a non-Muslim is punishable by death.
A non-Muslim who leads a Muslim away from Islam is punishable by death.
A non-Muslim man who marries a Muslim woman is punishable by death.
A man can beat his wife for insubordination.
A woman who has been raped cannot testify in court against her rapist(s).
A woman’s testimony in court, allowed in property cases, carries ½ the weight of a man’s.
A female heir inherits half of what a male heir inherits.
A woman cannot drive a car, as it leads to fitnah (upheaval).
A woman cannot speak alone to a man who is not her husband or relative.
Most think it supports the death penalty for gays

A cause of concern are conclusions published by Dr. Peter Hammond in his book, Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat, published in 2005 where he examine what has happened throughout history when the number of Muslims in a country increases.

As long as the Muslims make up about 1%, they are generally considered a peace-loving minority who do not bother anyone.
At 2-3%, some start proselytizing to other minorities and disgruntled groups, especially in prison and among street gangs.
At 5%, Muslims have an unreasonably large influence relative to their share of the population. Many demand halal slaughtered meat, and have been pushing the food industry to produce and sell it. They have also started to work toward the government giving them autonomy under sharia law. Hammond writes that the goal of Islam is not to convert the whole world, but rather, to establish sharia law all over the world.
When Muslims reach 10%, historically, lawlessness increases. Some start to complain about their situation, start riots and car fires, and threaten people they feel insult Islam.
At 20%, violent riots erupt, jihadi militia groups are formed, people are murdered, and churches and synagogues are set ablaze.
When the Muslims reach 40% of the population, there are widespread massacres, constant terror attacks and militia warfare.
At 60%, there is the possibility of uninhibited persecution of non-Muslims, sporadic ethnic cleansing, possible genocide, implementation of sharia law and jizya (the tax for “protection” that unbelievers must pay).
When there are 80% Muslims in the country, they have taken control of the government apparatus and are, as in, for instance, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq, committing violence in the name of Islam or political power.
When 100% are Muslims, the peace in the house of Islam is supposed to come — hence the claim that Islam is the “religion of peace.”

Indeed it does appear that there is a danger in letting wholesale numbers of Muslims into this country without some type of screening process. That said, then what should we do about the Syrian refugees in need of assistance? Should we just let them perish or is there a way to assist them? We’ll discuss this next.

Toward Intelligent Progress, Part 5

Immigration Control

The question here in the United States is how to solve the immigration problem.

Bill O’Reilly was one of the few to present a concrete solution which was this:.

“Require all illegal aliens in the country right now to register at the post office with Homeland Security. After registering, they would be given a tamper proof ID card, designating their status and their right to work temporarily in the USA. If the illegal aliens do not register, it’s a criminal felony. Right now sneaking across the border is a civil action. Remember that. Subjecting the person to immediate deportation or jail time. The criminal penalty goes way up.

“Any business that hires an illegal worker who doesn’t have a tamper proof ID card faces draconian fines and possible prison time for the executives.

“Each illegal alien would have his case reviewed by federal authorities. And they would decide who would receive a Z-visa to stay and who would not. That takes the blanket amnesty, something many American hate, off the table. It also allows the feds to make rational decisions about who’s helping America and who isn’t.”

This is a little better than the last immigration bill but it would create about the same degree of virtual amnesty. It would cause of lot of them to register, but that alone wouldn’t change much.

What else can we do? Most do admit it is impractical to round up over 11 million people and send them home. Should we just accept the fact that they are here and make the best of it and concentrate on sealing the borders?

The only other alternative I have heard is to just work with current laws and deport illegals as they are caught by authorities. This wouldn’t round up a large number at one time but a handful here and there until a difference is made. Then we create a liberal work program for those who come across the border legally.

Then perhaps, most important of all, is to control the border itself.

Comment:

“So I think you are quite wrong in this case in saying that “it wouldn’t change much.” This would change quite a bit, and for the better in my opinion.”

Actually, what I said was “that alone wouldn’t change much.”

By “that alone” I meant his plan for granting Z visas, but as far as the whole package goes I think it would make a difference. It is probably the most effective plan out there that has gotten national attention. He said that 87 percent of those responding to an online survey approved of it.

On the other hand, I do not think it would ever get through Congress. There are too many people courting the Spanish American vote that see future voters in the illegals.

The sad thing is that this wouldn’t be a major problem now if immigration had been dealt with intelligently in the past. We have waited too long to deal with it but better late than never.

One of the problems we have with border security is there are many who advocate open (or near open) borders.

Their argument goes something like this.

“We are a nation of immigrants. Some of the early immigrants created problems and were not wanted yet we took them in. We are being hypocritical for not doing the same today.”

This argument is very flawed for two reasons:

In the early days of this country we had a sparse population with a whole country to settle. At that time it was logical to offer an open invitation to all who wanted to come. In addition, the vast majority of those who came wanted to be Americans.

Now that the nation is overpopulated by people demanding many free services from government an influx of unskilled labor is not so desirable. A certain amount is needed and these should be controlled through legal measures.

Another thing we hear is that they are doing work that others we will not do. “Who’s going to mow your lawn?” they ask.

Well, duh, a lot of people mow their own lawns and do their own gardens. We’ve had three different companies mow our lawn over the past ten years and they’ve all been white guys and they’ve all been at a reasonable cost. I wouldn’t know who to call to get an illegal to mow my lawn.

“But how about the fields and the orchards? Who is going to pick our fruit?”

The answer is that we have done this ourselves in the past and could do it again. I worked for six years picking fruit side by side with Mexicans from age 12 to 18. Back in those days about half the workers were white and half were Mexican. I got pretty good at it and was generally the fastest guy in the orchard. Usually the only time I got out-picked was by a seasoned Hispanic who had been at it for many years.

I made more money picking fruit than most of my friends with salaried jobs. We got paid by the pound and the more we picked the more we made. As a teenager, I bought all my own clothes, schoolbooks, hunting, fishing gear and other hobbies, a car, and some of my own food. If you figure inflation in I probably made around twenty dollars (USD) an hour. I was motivated though for my sister and I lived with our mom who worked for minimum wage, or picked fruit herself, and received no welfare or child support. If I didn’t make money myself then I had none.

The only reason we do not see teenagers out in the fields today is that we have gotten soft and there are so many illegals that we just let them do it and give the kids an allowance for taking out the trash.

Some cite the inscription on the Statue of Liberty as a reason for open immigration. The inscription reads:

“Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Notice the key phrase here is “yearning to breathe free.” In the early days this country was an oasis of freedom in the world and we wanted immigrants who would support democracy, even if they were poor and downtrodden. We were building a nation out of wide open spaces and the desire to have and maintain freedom was the character trait most cherished.

Today the nation is built and many immigrants are loyal to their home country and culture. We thus have to take another look at what we want in immigrants. The desire to breathe free always stands, but we need to continue to seek out immigrants with talent whether they be from Mexico, or other nations. Bill Gates tells us that the importing of talent is one of the main reasons for our current standard of living and if we do not continue to pursue it we could see a great decline. The poor and unskilled also can offer a great service but the number allowed in should be controlled to match the need for labor as well as considering national security.

There is a huge controversy brewing as to whether we should build a fence on our border with Mexico. It’s too bad circumstances have led to this possible solution but concerns over terrorists crossing the border as well as an overflow of aliens is such that it is now considered by many rank and file citizens.

Ironically few politicians support the idea. Never has there been such a divide between what the politicians think we should have and what the public thinks. The 2007 immigration bill was supported by most politicians, but not the public. It was only when politicians received a drove of angry letters from constituents that some backed off and the bill was defeated.

It was largely defeated because to the public’s ears it sounded too much like the last one that did not work. We were promised in the past that our borders would be made secure and they were not. This time the promise was not believed because there the bill had no teeth. The thinking of many is this. First secure the borders and then we can start thinking more liberally toward those who are here.

Congress approved a couple billion dollars to build a 700 mile fence and little has moved forward on the project. Citizens feel politicians are dragging their feet and have no intention on building a fence. Now Trump wanting to build a fence is accused of being mean spirited and racist.

The fact is we have a 2000 mile border with Mexico. We need to either build a fence across the entire border or none at all. Taking half measures will not protect us from either terrorists or too much illegal immigration.

Israel resisted building a fence for decades, but now that they have constructed one there has been a dramatic decrease of illegals and suicide bombers. The people near the fences are now able to live in much greater peace and security than before the fence.

The problem we have with a fence is that even if the public wants it the politicians are afraid to support building it. Why? Because both Democrats and Republicans see the Spanish Americans as the new largest minority in the country and want to cater to their votes. They seem to forget about other voters.

On the other hand, if we have another 9/11 and it is linked to smuggling WMDs across the border then there will be a lot of foot dragging politicians voted out and new ones put in.

If we do not build a fence then we need to increase border security and possibly bring in the national guard to secure the borders. Advanced technology could also be employed.

In addition to regular security measure we need to do all in our power to use our influence to change the Mexican system to a more democratic government with free enterprise and individual initiative encouraged. If the people have good employment there the illegal immigration problem will go away. We have made many loans and done numerous favors for Mexico without asking anything in return. We ought to ask for some reform.

Most illegals are hard working honest people but they have their share of the criminal element. Right now when an illegal is caught committing a crime he is usually sent to jail in a U.S. prison which often gives him a better life than he had in Mexico and costs us 30-40,000 USD a year.

What we ought to do with these guys is send them back to Mexico and pay the Mexican government to take care of them in their own prison system. That would make an illegal think twice about committing a crime here.

In addition we also have the Canadian border to worry about. It is true that we do not have a large influx of Canadians wanting to come here because they have a reasonable economy but a terrorist could make it across that border with way too much ease. Securing this border also needs serious investigation.

Securing our borders and way of life is a major problem at present and there is no easy solution. In addition, politicians do not have the will to impose anything but a feel-good solution. That could change in a heartbeat, however, by means of a WMD being smuggled across the border.

Toward Intelligent Progress, Part 4

Border Solutions

The Question:

Why is there such a problem with illegal immigration on the southern border with Mexico but not on the Northern border with Canada? How does this answer lead us to the long-term solution?

Most realize that it has nothing to do with skin color but the major difference in the two countries lies in the huge gap in their situation as far as a freedom, security and economics goes.

Canadians seem to feel as equally secure in these three areas as those living in the United States. Thus we do not have a big rush for them to come here. Instead, we have some Canadians moving here and some Americans moving there of their own free will. It is a fairly even exchange.

On the other hand, Mexico and Central America have tremendous problems with freedom, security and economics. This creates great impetus for the people to move to the United States any way they can get here.

We can’t place the major part of the blame on the common people south of us for the problem. If you or I were in the same situation we would also attempt to do whatever is necessary to provide for and protect our families. As usual, the major blame goes on the ruling classes, the powers-that-be in the government and the various power brokers in and out of the country.

The question is, what are we going to do to help Mexico become more like Canada and the U.S.A.?

Unfortunately, allowing a flood of illegals as well as lack of screening for drugs, criminals and possible terrorists would lead to us becoming more like Mexico rather than Mexico becoming like the U.S.

No matter what view one has on undocumented people and no matter how liberal one is there will always be a number coming in here that would cause a person to throw up his hands and say, : “Enough!”

Right now the number of illegals is about 11 million. For many that number crosses the line. Others have not reached their limit and invite more to come.

So what would happen if the number doubled to 22 million? With the lack of housing and increase in homelessness many of the very liberal would reach their limit and say enough.

And what if we reached out to all Central America, opened he doors and the number doubled again to 44 million?

The problems would be so great that even the most liberal people would reach their limit.

We’d be like the guy who had a fine home and opened his doors to all his friends family and homeless. Pretty soon his own living conditions were so bad that he moved out into a motel.

We must always be aware of the wise virgin principle. We must maintain enough of our resources so we can complete our own journey and maintain the strength to be of assistance to others. If we become like a poor country in Central America, our immigration problem will be solved because no one will want to come here and many will want to leave. That is certainly not the goal.

There is another issue that is of greater concern than families illegally crossing the border. This goes back to 9/11 and the fear that terrorists could cross the border and wreak more havoc. The possibility of a WMD going off in a major city is nerve racking indeed.

U.S. citizens have little concern that future terrorism could come from Mexican laborers crossing the border, but an increasing number of possible Islamic extremists could be coming across. This concern creates more fallout than normal toward illegal crossing with Mexico as well as a growing concern with the borders of Canada.

The first question to settle in this dispute is this: Does the United States have the moral authority to dictate who shall be allowed across its borders and conditions for admittance?

Before answering this, another question must be asked:

Why is it that the United States is the primary country where this question is even asked?

Why is the question not asked of Mexico, Canada and other countries? Just as the United States is richer than Mexico, Mexico is richer than its southern neighbors. Its citizens make about twice the amount as the Guatemalans on its border and over four times as much as those from Honduras. Just as the United States is concerned about an influx from the South so is Mexico. What is little known is that Mexico has stricter immigration laws than the United States.

An illegal alien entering Mexico can be fined and sentenced to up to two years in prison. When illegals are rounded up they are put in prisons that make detention in the U.S. look like paradise.

Often one will find dozens of male and female illegals together in one small room with no food, medical attention or any access to human rights privileges.

And how do they treat legal U.S. visitors who may want to stay there and work? If the U.S. citizen takes a job that could be done by a Mexican he can be sent to prison. It’s all right to retire there and spend our money, but not to make money.

That said, why then is the United States picked on, as if it were a big bully, for even considering it has the moral authority to decide who shall be allowed across its borders and conditions for admittance? It is very hypocritical for the rest of the world to point fingers of accusation at us when none of their own tolerance for illegals comes close to matching the U.S.

England, one of the more tolerant nations, has only 570,000 illegals. We have over 20 times that number.

Nations like Australia and New Zealand have the ideal situation. They are surrounded by thousands of miles of ocean which helps to minimize the problem there.

Now let is get back to our question:

“Does the United States have the moral authority to dictate who shall be allowed across its borders and conditions for admittance?”

The answer is yes, of course. If other nations have such moral authority then of course the U.S. does also. It is indeed a principle in nature that every life, whether it be a cell, an animal, human or state has the responsibility to look out for its own survival.

So when we look at the border situation it is interesting that we almost have reached the ideal situation with our northern border yet have one of the worst border situations with the southern.

The obvious solution is to help Mexico and other nations become more like Canada so the residents are happy being there. That is a huge project and one we cannot tackle in this limited treatise. But, it is one on which we need to focus, for so long as the southern nations are much poorer than the United States and have restrictive governments the people will want to leave and come here any way they can.

The first step in accomplishing this is to put some attention on making this happen and come up with a feasible plan. If we do not take concrete steps the problem will continue.

Toward Intelligent Progress, Part 3

Don’t Kill the Goose

In part two we established the principle (as taught in the parable of the virgins) that looking out for self interest is justified, especially when assisting others will hurt the giver and provide little assistance to the receiver. If the giver loses the power to give through indiscriminate giving then neither giver nor receiver will benefit in the future.

Aesop’s fable of the Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs comes to mind here:

One day a countryman going to the nest of his Goose found there an egg all yellow and glittering. When he took it up it was as heavy as lead and he was going to throw it away, because he thought a trick had been played upon him. But he took it home on second thoughts, and soon found to his delight that it was an egg of pure gold. Every morning the same thing occurred, and he soon became rich by selling his eggs. As he grew rich he grew greedy; and thinking to get at once all the gold the Goose could give, he killed it and opened it only to find,—nothing.

Again wholeness comes into play. In any action we take we must look at the end result for the whole rather than the immediate effect only.

In solving the immigration problems perhaps we should start with important, often overlooked factors.

The will of the American people.

So how do both sides agree on this issue? To hear the extremes speak you would think that there is no agreement.

The majority of both sides seem to agree on the following:

Something needs to be done to deal with the immigration problem.

The borders need to be made more secure.

There should be some program to legally allow non citizens to work in the country yet there needs to be some control on how many are allowed in as well as prevention of bringing in dangerous people.

Neither side wants wholesale rounding up and deportation even though many are accused of this.

Both claim to be concerned that a nuclear device or some other WMD could be smuggled across the border.

There is general disagreement on the following:

One side feels that all illegals should be given amnesty. The other feels they should remain with an illegal status since they broke our laws.

One side feels illegals need to have an ID so they will not illegally vote and take advantage our system as if they were full citizens. The other is against this.

One side thinks that employers need to be responsible for identifying illegal aliens and held responsible for hiring them. The other does not.

One side feels the current immigration laws need to be enforced and the other does not.

One side wants English to be our official language; the other does not.

One side wants illegals to receive social security benefits and the other does not.

There are more but this gives us a rough rundown of the current situation.

There is a core problem that has led to this awkward situation we are in and it is the cause of numerous other problems also. It is this.

When there is a problem Congress thinks the solution is to pass laws. They then pass the laws, but soon discover the laws do not work, Why? Because they are not enforced, except through selective prosecution. So what do they do? Do they actually try enforcing the law to see if their last legislation will work?

No. They do not. Instead, they pass new and often tougher laws. Now why do they expect the newer and tougher laws to be enforced when the easier laws were not?

Perhaps they are insane? Close, but not quite. Instead they are just lazy. It is much easier to pass a new law than to do something practical to solve a problem. Since it takes a couple years to make it obvious that the new legislation is futile the representatives can bask in their feel good law long enough for the public to forget about their stupidity.

An example of this was the McCain/Feingold Campaign Finance law. This was given a boost when Gore and Clinton were found receiving illegal contributions from the Chinese and the Buddhist temple. Instead of enforcing the current law Congress merely said there was too much corruption because of not enough law.

Thus the McCain/Feingold law was passed. This was so strict that it even limited free speech 60 days before the election.

Did it work? No. The law was ignored and more money than ever was spent on elections. All kinds of shady lawbreakers surfaced but because they operated in a gray area the election was over before the courts could decide what was legal or not. After this, the political organizations knew what they could get away so they could flout the law more than ever.

Conclusion:

The solution to a problem that occurs when laws are not enforced is not to make more laws that are also not enforced. First start with the laws we have. If we are not willing to do this we might as well erase them from the books. In many cases this would be a good idea.

A short-term solution must rely on law, but the long-term solution lies elsewhere. The solution lies in the answer to this question:

Why is there such a problem with illegal immigration on the southern border with Mexico but not on the Northern border with Canada where the border is open, close to the ideal set by DK? How does this answer lead us to the long-term solution?

We will explore this next.

Toward Intelligent Progress, Part 2

Equality

The idea of equality is at the heart of many aspirations for the new age and different ideas of achieving it is the basis of much division and friction. It is a mistake to take the ideal of spiritual equality on the soul level and extend it to apply to imperfect conditions on the physical plane.

The Christ (DKs teacher) himself illustrated this in several parables he taught. The most obvious is the parable of the ten virgins. Five were wise and five were foolish. They were to meet their bridegroom when the call came and they would need sufficient oil in their lamps to light the way when he appeared.

When the call came five had enough oil and five did not. Those who did not have enough oil asked for oil from the five who had sufficient. But the wise answered no because if they shared their oil then none of the virgins would have enough. The wise virgins told the foolish ones to go “buy from them that sell.” (See Matt 25:1-13)

The five wise virgins thus used their oil to successfully journey to the bridegroom and the five foolish completely missed out for the bridegroom was no longer available because of their delay.

Now let us apply this analogy to countries. Some countries have enough wealth and others do not. If the countries that have were to give their too much of their wealth to those who have not then none will have enough. This giving away of wealth is complicated most of the time by corrupt governments that are the true cause of poverty.

We send a lot of food, for instance, to North Korea and what do they do with it? They use it to feed their military and the common people who do without are eating the bark to survive. We thus wind up feeding the people who are committed to destroy us.

When we assist other nations we give the money to political leaders who often use it to enrich themselves with little if any going to the common people. Therefore, no good will is extended to the masses and hatred toward us is easily cultivated. A much better approach is to create an assistance program that would provide funds and resources directly to the people, bypassing their greedy leaders. This would irritate the leaders but produce massive goodwill among the common people where it is badly needed. DK is indeed correct when he talks about the power of public opinion of the people and the importance of influencing it.

The solution given by Jesus also applies to the have-nots: “Go to the marketers and get some wealth for yourself.” Numerous poor countries have done this by going to the wealthy nations and selling their assets such as oil.

Mexico has more natural assets for its size than the United States yet they rarely offer them to other nations but seek to develop them themselves. Because of government bureaucracy they have not been very successful and have remained poor. If they partnered more with The United States they could funnel much more money to their country through oil and other resources. I’m sure most Americans would much rather give our oil money to Mexico than Iran, for instance.

Another parable is called the Laborers in the Vineyard.

The master of the vineyard hired laborers at different times of the day and offered them all a penny for their work for the day. It turned out that some worked twelve hours while those who came on board late worked as little as one.

When they all got paid those who worked many hours saw the ones who worked only one hour for a penny thought maybe they would get a bonus since they had worked as much as twelve hours. But when the payment was given they all received a penny.

Those who worked 8, 10 and 12 hours grumbled to the master. “Hey, we worked through the heat of the day and it is unfair that we get the same pay as these new guys who worked only one hour.”

The Master answered, “It is not unfair at all. I promised you a penny for your day’s work and I fulfilled that promise by giving you exactly what we bargained for. I needed these new guys to complete my harvest and it was worth it to me to pay them a day’s wages for that last hour. I have the freedom to pay whoever I want whatever they agree to.” (See Matt 20:1-16)

By extension this parable teaches a number of things. A person, group or nation has the right to set the parameters of what they are willing to extend to others. Even if the situation or payment is not that which is desired, if it is nevertheless accepted then the master is without blame as long as he lives up to his side of the agreement. True, if he pays more than required he gets some good will and good karma but he is justified in only paying the agreed amount.

This parable also illustrates how total equality will never be achieved on the physical plane. In the parable all employees were treated equally in that they were all given the same wage for the day, but they were unequal in that they received a much different wage per hour.

Even so, the ideal of equality will be dangled before seekers for thousands of years to come. The first step is to achieve equal opportunity for all. The second step is to cultivate the giving nature that exists in general humanity so, through free will, all eventually have their basic needs fulfilled.

We will be much closer to equality on the physical level in the future golden age, but even here there will still be many differences in possessions according to the labor of the people. The only result from forcing equality is that eventually all but the overseers become equally poor.

Every country also has much to contribute but as long as that contribution is considered, as it now is, in terms of its commercial value or its political usefulness, that contribution will not be given in aid of right human relations.

Every country must also receive from all other countries. This involves a recognition of certain specific lacks, plus a willingness to take from others on terms of equality. Every country has its own peculiar note which must be brought into unison and swell the great chorus from all the nations. This will only be possible when pure religion is restored and the spiritual impetus, nascent in every nation, is given free expression. This is not yet the case; theological forms still hold the spiritual life.

Problems of Humanity, Page 28

It is still not the case but political ideology is replacing religion as the force holding back spiritual progress.

Toward Intelligent Progress, Part 1

DK presents goals to which the Hierarchy is guiding us which basically covers these points.

(1) A world without borders – no passports needed

(2) One where brotherhood, goodwill and inclusiveness set the tone so we have right human relations.

(3) One where the Haves share with the Have-Nots so extreme poverty is abolished.

(4) There is to be a one-world government that unifies the world without becoming a tyranny.

(5) This will lead to a secure peace on earth.

(6) There will be a one-world religion which will basically be the world acknowledging through free will that certain universal principles are true.

(7) People will be influenced more by mind and reason than by lower emotion and being reactionary.

(8) People will becomes less materialistic and focus more on the spiritual.

(9) Christ and his associate Masters of Wisdom will walk openly among us as teachers of the human race.

Most students of the Ancient Wisdom, as well as many other seekers, embrace these points. Any differences come from not an acceptance of the end goal, but how to get there.

Humanity at present is a little like a family lost in the woods with no map or GPS trying to figure how to get out. They all want to get back to civilization but have different ideas as to which direction to go. The key for their survival is to calm down, carefully examine their options, and mentally come up with the best possible option to move ahead.

One of the hindrances to successfully moving ahead is that many take a simplistic approach to achieving the goal. They want everything to happen yesterday and think that we should just be able to make one huge step and magically arrive in earthly Shamballa.

Many go the other extreme and are discouraged by the inertia of progress and have little belief that any change for the better will occur. Others believe in a coming Armageddon, the results of which are so out of their control that the only thing they see to do is wait on God’s will.

The truth as usual is somewhere in the middle. We aren’t going to arrive at the golden age by taking a giant flying leap, but neither should we sit back and do nothing. All of us must do our part, for the destiny of humanity largely depends on actions taken by us as groups and individuals. Chaos will rule if we just sit back and let George, God, or the Hierarchy do it.

So how shall we proceed then?

Neither should we expect to change the status quo with one giant step nor should we sit back, but as the old saying goes we need to plough with the hoses we have. DK says what is needed is, “Practical ability to relate the idea to the ideal and to take those steps which will create the form of that ideal upon the physical plane.”

Discipleship in the New Age II, Page 162

Concerning the development of a one world and one humanity D K says:

“This will some day be seen, but the time is not yet. Mankind is not ready for some super-government, nor can it yet provide the unselfish and trained statesmen that such a government would require. As yet, there are more seeds of danger in this concept than there are of helpfulness. Nevertheless, it is a dream which will some day materialise, after the creation and the functioning of blocs have proved how men should work and live together.”

Externalization of the Hierarchy, Pg 639

Alice A. Bailey added this:

I realise that the only thing I can possibly attempt is to put certain suppositions before you, drawing upon my imagination. Naturally it is not possible for finite mind to gauge accurately the plan of the Deity. All that we can do is to study the history of the past, to investigate present conditions, and to ascertain somewhat racial and natural tendencies, and thus follow, as logically as may be, the various steps and stages. All that is permissible for us is to start from the solid basis of acquired facts and knowledge, then put them all together, and from their aggregate form an hypothesis as to what may be the possible goal. Beyond that it is impossible to go.

The Consciousness of the Atom, Page 119

We thus have to examine where we are at the moment and act wisely according to those circumstances. It can spell disaster to determine our actions as if the ideal were here. For instance, premature steps toward a one world could result in a Hitler-type tyrannical one world government – and this we must avoid at all costs. Indeed, we need to take the time to get it right, but when a move is placed before us we need to take it.

Some times the next move may appear to be a step backwards.

For instance, Abraham Lincoln always had a strong desire to eliminate slavery. A lot of abolitionists such as John Brown thought the best course was to violate the law and forcibly overthrow it. Lincoln didn’t see this as a solution for he thought it had to be accomplished within the law, not outside of it. He felt like we would not have a nation worth living in if there were no respect for its laws. Consequently, there were several times in his life that he had to take an apparent step backwards and support laws that governed slavery. That did not mean he supported slavery. Instead, it meant he supported the rule of law, even though some laws are imperfect.

On a lesser scale of importance I support traffic laws as a whole, but there are many speed limits with which I disagree. Still, if I get caught speeding I accept the penalty.

Two main points of contention right now concern immigration and refugees. What is the solution to these problems? Do we act as if the ideal were already manifest and completely open the borders, or are there wise incremental steps that can be taken?

We will explore this in the next several posts.
