National Karma.- An old personal message.

Illawarra District, Australia, November 14, 2007.
Midwayer Chief, Bzutu (ABC22).

Bzutu: "There is such a thing as national karma, to answer your question. It is almost impossible to live a mortal life without karma, good or bad, and not just for humans. All who dwell in time-space are subject to making either better or less appropriate decisions, and initiate actions, which may create results that must be realized and abreacted on Mansonia.

"Yes, you detest the unnecessary wars that are still raging, and indeed productive of national karma, including for all who are eligible to vote in a democracy. However, consider those you vote into power in the greater part of the western world as your representatives to be your leaders … and note that as a rule they become nothing other than your rulers, wherewith the national karma of their war-faring ways is largely transferred onto them as personal destiny of a doubtful kind."

I thought of the Chief's words when I heard of the attack on Libya, then I came across the text below.

The Yogi and the Western Student.

"You see, my son, all the so-called holy words have been written by men; that is the first thing to consider. The New Testament was written 150 years after Jesus was crucified, which was the method of murder at that time. Today in the West there are other ways of murdering people, the hangman's rope, the guillotine, the electric chair, the gun, the bomb and other devices.

"If someone murders another person you call him a murderer, don't you? Then you murder the murderer, but then are you not a murderer too?

"People today think that they are doing God a service by murdering others who do not believe in the way they do. Mass murder is taking place all over the world today as the result of this belief. To murder without consent you get the hangman's rope, but to murder by consent you get a medal. But it is murder just the same. You cannot deny that, can you? Now you also see that those who assume the representation of the Deity bless those sent out to murder, also bless the weapons manufactured for murdering. They assign to their God characteristics that you and I would not attribute to the most backward savage. If you read your Bible you will see that what I say is true, yet they call it a Holy book.

"Now, some will say that times have changed, that man is more developed, but is he? He is more subtle, he kills more people than he did a hundred years ago, but it is done in a flash and the result is more devastating.

"Today we have guns and bombs instead of bows and arrows. We have bombs that will destroy thousands at a time, we have incendiary bombs that burn with agonizing pain, causing more pain than an arrow could ever do, yet we are told that we are more developed. Yes, we have developed the means of killing more people, but it is still killing is it not? No matter how we murder people it is murder just the same, the end is the same; the weapons are more deadly and we say more humane, but are they more humane? And the cause of all this carnage is divisions in nationalities, in race, in religion, in beliefs and ideals. The idealist is the most dangerous person because to make his ideal work he must be ruthless; he kills all those who oppose him.

"People are killing each other today more for their ideals than for things. To protect their ideals they have to kill, so we see mass murder going on directed by those who go to church, and pray to a God of Love whom they claim to be their Father. What a travesty of the Truth! Spirituality is all-inclusive. If you love one and hate another you cannot be a loving person, therefore you cannot be spiritual, and you live in contradiction."
