Standaard America adrift (Share International)

by the Master -, through Benjamin Creme


It is only a matter of time before the people of the United States realize
that they have made a grievous mistake. They have reinstated, albeit with
the aid of many stolen votes, a man and administration dedicated to the
creation of division and hatred, both nationally and internationally.

They will ruefully watch an attack on their proudly held freedoms; they
will see a steep decline in their standard of living as the government, of
necessity, strives to tackle their enormous debts; they will witness a
loss of confidence in their currency and a sharp reversal of trade with
their traditional trading partners. The calamitous invasion of Iraq will
continue to fester, both in Iraq and elsewhere in the world.

Reacting to the fear and hatred which this administration has engendered
almost universally, the tendency will be for the people to look inwards,
and to turn their backs even more squarely on the world.


Illusion

A major problem in dealing with this administration is the powerful
illusion under which it works: that it is God-inspired and so in divine
Grace, helping to restore the Christian world and message to its former
power and glory. Thus has the USA taken a huge step backwards, isolating
itself from the true concerns of much of the world: environmental
pollution and the demands of a planet suffering under the strain of
impending disaster.

The United States will find that the world will not stand still. With or
without American co-operation the nations will proceed as best they can to
deal with the many ecological and social problems which beset us, and
which so urgently must be addressed. America will find itself left behind
and ignored, and only then will it be prepared to 'lead' the way.


Rhetoric

This administration is, even now, relishing its victory, and weighing the
pros and cons of subsequent action. Thwarted and taken unawares by events
in Iraq, it must pause awhile before considering further violence.

But the bravado and rhetoric will doubtless continue, hoping to bully and
conquer by threats alone. Meanwhile, great changes in many countries are
under way, leading to a profound shift in the balance of power in the
world. China and India, South America and Russia, are finding their feet
and economic potential.

Africa is beginning to receive, at last, the concern and goodwill of
powerful governments and agencies, and can look forward to better times.
Thus the world is turning away from the dominance of American power and
wealth, and charting another path to fulfil its destiny.

If the United States insists on its right of unilateral action, it will
find itself neglected and ignored in international plans and projects, its
economy will further decay, and its people will lose confidence and trust
in government action. Without friends, and with ebbing strength, it will
be forced to change, and to renew dialogue with its former friends.

The emergence of Maitreya will speed the process of this transformation
and assure its welcome completion.

Answer (Benjamin Creme) :
"The same as happens to anyone who dies in an accident, depending on their
own personal karma."
