that once again the Christ might become an expanding matrix
The damage that is done by these would-be leaders who go forth in my Son's name but carry not his Spirit is incalculable. Yet I would speak to those who have suffered the pangs of disillusionment, and I would say to you, one and all: remember, in order to have disillusionment you must first have illusion. Look only to the real which God has implanted in every man, and then you will not be disappointed in the unreal which man himself has unwittingly created or accepted in his world. -Archeia Mary, Pearl 57:18 ………………………… El Morya gave to me a concluding statement so that I can tell y... read more

Chanakya’s Politcal Doctrine of Matsya Nyaya

Chanakya posits that in the beginning human beings lived in the state of nature, as there was no concept of government. In some cases, people managed to live happily and peacefully in small groups. But the peace and happiness did not last because some pe... read more

DID RON DeSANTIS REALLY CLINCH THE 2024 REPUBLICAN NOMINATION YESTERDAY?
After yesterday's midterms, pundits rapidly settled on some conventional wisdom about the two top candidates for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination: Donald Trump screwed the pooch and Ron DeSantis became the favorite. Jonathan Chait writes: The midterm election could not have set up a more favorable dynamic for the Florida governor. His state, which reported its vote early, delivered a huge victory for Republicans. And then the party proceeded to underperform almost everywhere else, leaving Florida as an outlier. The Republican-aligned media, which has spent the past year ... read more

How Europe Is Destroying Its Own ‘Garden’
The European Union’s Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell is not particularly perceived by the EU’s political elite or mainstream media as a rightwing ideologue or warmonger. But seen through a different, non-western prism, it is hard not to mistake him for one. Borrell’s recent comments that “Europe is a garden” and that “the rest of the world is a jungle” were duly condemned as ‘racist’ by many politicians around the world, but mostly in the Global South. Borrell’s remarks, however, must also be viewed as an expression of superiority, not only of Borell personally, but of Europe’s... read more

Today, Khan’s popularity as a political leader and public figure is at its peak – a fact even his detractors will concede. And this is precisely what has got him into trouble. Khan was ousted in a regime-change operation at the beginning of April. We ca... read more
