We have the old adage or axiom, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” You pride yourself that your country is the most advanced and cultured nation in the world. However, this is an idea which is subject to a great deal of variation in examining the statistics of the mental levels and conditions of the people as they exist in America today.
Basically the ideals of your country were motivated by the very highest principles of spiritual inception. The men who compounded the Constitution of the United States were infused with a great humanitarian plan of action. They, in themselves, expressed a great deal of this higher idealism in their daily lives, and this infusion inspired them with their zeal in writing the Declaration of Independence, and in severing the relationship with the mother country of England. However, after constituting the United States, they very quickly found that there were many people living in the world who did not completely justify all of the principles which were impounded in this Declaration of Independence. Therefore, it became necessary with the passing of years to circumscribe certain limits of action into the dimensions of expression in the individual life as it existed in the various states which constituted the country. These became known as amendments.
The first nine became the Bill of Rights. There were further additions or amendments to the Constitution which number, I believe, about twenty-two, counting the repeal of the Volstead Act. As history developed, and as the size of the country increased, so did the complexities of the civilization. Various civic and state governmental branches, orders of legislation, and branches of judicial execution sprang into being to legislate or to enact laws, with the judicial branch to enforce these laws. Further enforcement was supplemented by the various police departments. As the years rolled by, the complexities of this governmental system increased. Because the system was based strictly upon the reactionary order of thinking that a man was not guilty until he was convicted of crime; therefore, the individual was allowed, without training and without thought, promiscuously to exploit his own dominion or his own domain of thought into whatever direction he conceived; if he were clever enough to contrive this beyond the eye or the ear of some law abiding agency, he could further his own interests and his own gain.
As a result, at the present time, the average citizen of the United States is under the jurisdiction of at least six or seven thousand different laws, which exist in the statutes of different state and governmental orders. It is obvious that under such a governmental system, there is going to be a great deal of confusion, duplication and, as a consequence, a great deal of error. We all know, factually, that there are innocent men and women in penitentiaries, and that there are many felons who are walking the streets and who should, by the token of your own understanding, be incarcerated in place of the innocent victims.
However, the basic and motivating forces behind law and order are always justifiable in their outward expression because man is so constituted in the higher dominion of his conscious nature, that he does not willfully become a malefactor towards his fellow man. The point which I am making here is that the numerous complications of governmental orders and factions, the natural sequence of error, exploitation, and other elements which have entered into the construction of what is called your democracy, have been indeed something which is puzzling to the average individual. He has been forced to compromise himself and his own natural order of conscience or his self-esteem into these various relations and integrations of the governmental system. He knows, just as everyone does, that there is a great deal of malpractice which is going on behind the front of self-respect.
With all the consequence of these various compromises, the individual is also confronted by a great deal of what can be called exploitation, as I have mentioned before. He is subjected to innumerable pressures from within and without his own household. These relate him to the various obligations which are incurred in living in the community or city in which he has so chosen to reside. The order of taxation, or the supporting of the governmental system and the burdens which they incur, are to the individual, very oppressive. All in all, it can be said that civilization, or democracy as you are now supposedly enjoying it, is one which presents such a vast multitude of intricate systems of expression that the average individual has become partially if not extremely, neurotic.
According to the statistics which are available to the average individual, it is estimated conservatively that one in sixteen is in need of some psychiatric treatment. The question which is posed in my mind is: Would this psychiatric treatment, with the methods which are in use today in your country, do the individual any good? They are only a step removed from the cage and the iron-barred cell. Your psychiatry is extremely primitive even in what you call your advanced state. In the future day and evolution, as man develops psychiatric systems of therapy from the spiritual dimensions, he will begin to see just exactly how crude these methods and systems are.
Simply to remove a patient from the immediate environment of the systems of various oppressions which have occurred in his daily life, does not mean that he is necessarily entitled to a quick and permanent cure. The breaking of the various psychical factions of emotions and the removal of these pressures, will not necessarily remove the emotional experience from his psychic body. These are impounded into the robot-like existence of everyday life, in which he has incurred a neurosis, in wave forms and dimensions, which do not ordinarily respond to such reactionary treatment.
A patient who is thus removed into another environment, and who seeks his own means to escape the pressures which have induced his neurosis or his mental aberration, will, to some extent and to some degree, relieve himself automatically with the temporary removal of these pressures. However, he must return some day to the status quo of his civilization from whence he emerged. He will then reincur the same pressures in different forms, and quite likely he will revert into an even more aborted mental state of aberration.
The question which probably by now is posed in your mind is, then, what governmental system will be a panacea for all man’s ills? The answer is very direct and conclusive: There is no governmental system which has ever been in existence on the earth, or that will ever be in existence on the earth, which will be a panacea for man’s ills.
The dimension of curative values, as they must enter into the individual concept, must come from within the individual himself, with the evaluation of his consciousness into domains of constructive thought and evaluations which, while impounded into his nature, will so relate him with the higher dimensions of force and action, that the various inadequacies of governmental systems, of community life, and social structures will vanish. They will be replaced by higher orders and concepts of social structures, which will further integrate into a higher order of the dominant factors of man’s spiritual nature.
In regard to the various intricate electronic equipment which you have at least partially seen and witnessed in operation, I might say to the physician and psychiatrist on the earth, that there are machines in actual use in different earth or terrestrial dimensions, which are somewhat advanced to your own earth. We might point out Mars, for instance; there, a great deal of this corrective therapy is done from the spiritual side of life by merely recognizing the superconsciousness of the individual and in relating and relinking himself to the higher dimensions of consciousness.
The continuity or expression of physical waves of form and motion which are impounded within the psychic body can be changed or neutralized to some, or to a large extent by the mere application of superimposed frequencies of somewhat more than a supersonic nature. Such vortexes as may reside which can give the criminal tendencies or their propensities to an individual, are thus removed, as well as such obstacles or vortexes which can be called blocks in his consciousness or evaluations which were incurred in previous reincarnations. The individual then feels extremely free in his own dimension
to move about and factually integrate himself in his evolutions.
May I say that I sincerely appreciate the fact of coming to you and somewhat expounding some of the concepts from the centers of Shamballa which are more or less directly within and conceived within the dimensions of our own consciousness. The things which are in order and in sequence in our daily lives, if I can call them “daily lives,” in our existence here in the Shamballas, are orders of artifacts which are beyond your conception in a finite dimension. The nature of the miracles which were performed by Jesus would also be quite elemental if you could see the nature of what you might call miracles in the natural functioning of our daily lives here in these centers.
These centers themselves defy description; so likewise do the faculties of expression in the order of teaching and learning, for you are either a student or a teacher, but you are neither all of the time learning nor are you all of the time teaching, since one becomes the other and that is the way we progress. We are expressing here, too, the concepts of polarity by accepting and giving. This, in your daily lives, would be a concept which could be of great value to the individual of the earth. If everyone on the little planet on which you are now living could devote at least an hour of his day to extending all of the virtues of his personality in a constructive way toward his fellow man, the order of the earth would be changed in a very short time. Armies, navies, and wars would quickly disappear; likewise would disappear much of the disease and pestilence which you have infused and accepted into the domain of your daily existence.
However, I see that the vocal chords of the channel are beginning to become a little tired, so I must let him rest until either myself or some other one of us here comes in to lead him further into the field of exploration in this central section.
Your humble servant,
~ Hippocrates
