It’s not feasible nor warranted to deport married spouses of US citizens; patriotic parents of children born in the USA; or patriotic workers currently in the United States who are peace-loving, tax-paying, and in support of working in the United States of America or currently enrolled in schools and in the country for purposes of higher education.
All people, regardless of national origins, ethnic background, or personal religious affiliation should be granted the legal path to status as full citizenship in the United States, issued legal green cards, legal work, and legal student visas, etc. Immigrants are historically more educated and more patriotic to a country to which they have emigrated. Citizenship tests and requirements to learn American Consitutional laws, become familiar with the bill of rights, and to be knowledgeable in American history set them–via adult education– above and beyond the loyalities to the country and nation intended for high school and public school teachings to engender amongst natural born citizenship.
Deporting 11 million people indiscriminately will hurt the strength of the nation, that holds the words of the Statue of Liberty as a bastion of hope for the Oneness of Humanity in the American democratic experiment for people to live, work and thrive within the borders of this nation in Universal Peace, and for safety, security, and salvation:
“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-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”–Statue of Liberty
Building a “wall” is not the purpose of Creating a Legal and Golden Door! It’s not the wall that’s important, it’s the LEGAL DOOR that is OPEN, that the wall supports!
Indiscriminately deporting 11 million people, the majority of whom are loyal, trustworthy, and true is too expensive both in the costs of deportation and the loss of income, jobs, and support for the nation for which they contribute. Separating families, spouses from citizens to whom they are married, parents of children who are natural born citizens is inadmissible, and hurtful to the foundations of a just civilization that is based on the firmness and durability of the family unit.
It is my hope, that human beings, who are positive contributors to American culture, society, and economic strength will be recognized and safe-guarded from wrongful deportation, and granted the legal path for full American citizenship, dual citizenship, or legal visa and lawful work permits.
Other than the indigenous people of North America all others are children of immigrants or had been themselves immigrants at one time.
The best solutions to these issues is the support, well-wishing, and upliftment of ALL countries of origin to provide for their own people, strengthen agriculture and green industry, elimnate waste and pollution, and eliminate absolute poverty and war in those regions. This will elimnate the egregious “refugee” problem world-wide, at the root.
America is a nation of immigrants! The strength of of America is within its Diversity–a unity in diversity–diversity is the strength. Diversity is not the enemy of unity, conformity is! There is strength in diversity! And the indigenous peoples of North America should be held in the highest of esteem! They should be the most prosperous, successful, and happiest of all people living in the United States borders. Not only should all immigrants respect and honor and support the indigenous peoples of America, they should find a common core value of the Oneness of Humanity, respect for nature as the sacred, and support and honor all indigenous ways, ceremony and means, of being the first peoples of this nation!
The 21st century shall witness a reversal of 400 years of slavery, hatred, and oppressions!
The indigenous peoples of America shall be uplifted, given preference, and supported by all. Maps of the indigenous peoples prior to colonization will be taught in schools, immigrants will be naturalized, and by the looks of it, racists and actual “criminals” shall either be educated, redeemed or deported.
American is building and opening a Golden Door, supported by a wall of iron and lead. A legal door to remain eventually open to all, as all other nations obtain to prosperity within their borders, many Americans will emigrate to other places also, contributing to the beautification of all the world. War will become an “unknown” thing of the past, taught in history books in school. Future generations will scratch their heads in wonder, not being able to understand that long since rejected barbarism of national, ethnic, and religious prejudiced.
Not only will this happen, it’s happening even now, in America, the Middle-East, and all throughout the globe. “The zeal of the Lord of Hosts, shall perform this!”
The Oneness of Humanity and Universal Peace shall prevail. And WE SHALL OVERCOME!
Naturalize the faithful, loyal and True!
The national-security of the United States depends upon it! And the strength of the union is upheld by it! And the universal collective security of the world depends upon it!
“WE hold these TRUTHS to be self-evident!” E pluribus unum: many cooperating as one!

The Bi-National State
What will happen to the “two-state” solution in the Middle-East? Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran have been in favour of a one-state solution for quite some time. The initial success of the Abraham Accords added to the timing of the October 7, 2023 attacks, as reported in the news media. The indiscriminate killing of both Sunni Muslims and Jews in the State of Israel, and the taking of Sunni Muslim hostages still held by Hamas along with Jewish hostages, has caused Sunni Muslims of Israel to voluntarily enlist in the IDF to free the Palestinian people from Hamas and to remove Hezbollah from Lebanon. These violent indiscriminate attacks against Muslims and Jews in Israel has been uniting Israeli Muslims and Jews towards a one-state solution: the exact opposite of the one-state proposed by Hamas, Hezbollah and current Iranian policy. The world is witnessing the final violent upheaval in that region. And the United States is now leaning toward the populist one state, bi-national state, remedy for these ruinous wars, in which Palestinians and Israelis will be united together in a bi-national state:
“The one-state solution is sometimes referred to as the bi-national state, owing to the hope that it would successfully deliver self-determination to Israelis and Palestinians in one country, thus granting both peoples independence as well as absolute access to all of the land.”
The majority of Muslims know Islam as a religion of peace, not war. The word “Islam” from “salam” in Arabic is “Shalom”–meaning Peace, in Hebrew. “Islam is the opposite of war”–Imam Razi. The majority of practicing Muslims “peace-makers” are opposed to the extremist views of militant “Covenant of Hamas” that sets war above peace, and states that the goal of Hamas is the “one-state” solution via annihilation of the entire state of Israel, altogether, of which the majority of Americans are unawares:
“The Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement was issued on August 18, 1988. The Islamic Resistance Movement, also known as the HAMAS, is an extremist fundamentalist [“pseudo”] Islamic organization operating in the territories under Israeli control. Its Covenant is a comprehensive manifesto comprised of 36 separate articles, all of which promote the basic HAMAS goal of destroying the State of Israel through Jihad (Islamic Holy War). The following are excerpts of the HAMAS Covenant:​​​​​​​​​​​​​
“​Goals of the HAMAS:
​”The Islamic Resistance Movement is a distinguished Palestinian movement, whose allegiance is to Allah, and whose way of life is Islam. It strives to raise the banner of Allah over every inch of Palestine.” (Article 6) [One-State Solution]
“On the destruction of Israel:
“Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam [HAMAS] will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.” (Preamble) [One-State Solution]”
[[https://embassies.gov.il/…/Pages/The%20Hamas-Covenant.aspx]]
With the killing of Sunni Muslims in Israel by HAMAS, HAMAS has alienated the rest of the Sunni Muslim world, and we are witnessing the back-lash today of the move toward an actual one-state solution, where Muslims both within the State of Israel (joining the IDF and holding officer positions to eliminate HAMAS and Hezbollah to liberate the Palestinian civilians) and in the countries surrounding Israel–Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, etc–are moving in the direction of supporting the Abraham Accords and in favour of bringing that one-state into being as the bi-national state of Israel. Why?
Because “Jihad” literally means “effort”–not war! The greater Jihad is the effort each individual makes in their own personal life to become a peaceful, kind, just and loving person; and the Lesser Jihad, is the exterior effort to work toward a peaceful, kind, just and loving civilization. Islam, at its foundation, like Christianity and Judaism, is a religion of love, Kindness, personal growth and development and above all of Universal Peace. Muslims the world around, both Sunni and Shii do not support the war-doctrines, of Hamas, and the majority of Muslim peoples around the world, both Sunni and Shii, are separated from groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, as they know Islam as the religion of peace (Islam literally means peace) and they see Hamas and Hezbollah, that are killing Muslims and taking Muslims hostages as “on the wrong track.”
Ironically, the violence of Hamas and Hezbollah is causing the INTER-FAITH solution proposed in the Abraham Accords to be the desired type of INTER-FAITH remedy to restore good will and fair trade relations in the Middle East. Israel and the US favour the Palestinians of the West Bank being included in the newly emerging one state and of the people of Gaza being included in the newly emerging bi-nation state.
The American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the American Civil War, and today, the war in Israel, all resulted in the Outcomes of the cessation of wars within the borders of those nations, such as the union of the 50 States of America, under one flag, and as a Federation of States, held to be “one nation under God” and “indivisible” in outlook and cultural diversity and personal individuality, as upheld and guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States of America.
Bloodshed is not the way to go in vanquishing one people under another to establish peace because peace without justice is tyranny.
The current growing populist support by Muslims within the State of Israel to support a Bi-national State of Israel to end all wars in that region (Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, etc) and to unite a divided people–is gaining momentum both within the region, and in support of the neighbouring countries. And this conjoint effort, to free the people of Gaza to receive international aid, food, moneys, and support (that traditionally Hamas itself has diverted from the people of Gaza from directly receiving aid, in order to fund war plans, tunnel building, and the amassing of weapons, now fast coming to an end) is demonstrating to the rest of the people of the world, that any “state” “govt” or “group” that is explicitly in violation of the prophesied Kellogg-Briand Paris Peace Pact will be opposed by the united efforts of all the rest of the nations and peoples of the world.
Today, we are in the midst of A World Civil War, and not until the Supreme Tribunal is democratically elected to End All Wars before they start in the first place shall peace through justice and “pacific means” be durably and permanently established.
The refusal to accept the borders of the 1948 two-state solution, in 1967, resulted in the acquisition of the Sinai Pennisula, Jerusalem and Golan Heights. The Sinai was given back, and Egypt and Israel came into accord. The more Israel has been attacked, by those first Agressors against two-state, the more one-state bi-national agreement has gained both popularity support and strength,…a “strange act” to behold…and a heartwrenching calamity for all people on all sides…
My point is this: regardless of how the ultimate outcome in Israel-Palestine is overcome: concerning the Greater World Civil War globally, violence is not the way to proceed. We today need to learn the lessons of American, British, French and Russian Revolutions, lessons from the killing of children and brother killing brother in the American Civil War, lessons from WWI and WWII to Renounce violence and warfare FOREVER, and to use “pacific means” for the amicable and conclusive settlement of any and all disputes.
Prayer is needed here to bolster and strengthen OUR DEEDS to bring about Universal Peace and to make the Oneness of Humanity Action Based in all our ways and means about how we, as one single race of human beings, go about our daily affairs in treating one another always in Loving kindness.
The prophecies shall all come true! The golden age shall be established. These ruinous wars shall end. All people shall embrace as one single family. The household of humanity will be inclusive of all. None shall be left out. All shall be cared for, supported and loved! Politics won’t resolve this, neither material means, but “the zeal of the Lord of Hosts shall perform this”–for nothing short of the supernatural Power of God–LOVE–has this capability. Today, these days of Guy Fawkes and Armistice–hearts are united, and minds reach for Spirit, for LOVE shall overcome and conquer, no matter what the adversary may do or say!
“It is an old saying that 1,000 builders are not equal to one destroyer—how much more if there are one thousand destroyers after one builder? “–‘Abdu’l-Baha
Universal Peace for the Oneness of Humanity! The pacific party shall prevail! We shall overcome!

One State Solution

THE IMPORTANCE OF MILITARY MIGHT!
Our military needs GAS and OIL to secure the basic safety and security of American Democracy and to protect the free and open society of the people of the United Stares, our collective security of independence of western life-style, and to uphold the Universal Declaration of Unalienable Human Rights (Bill of Rights) under American Constitutional Law, as preserved under Article 3 of the prophesied Kellogg-Briand Paris Peace Pact (1928; Ez. 37:26 “the everlasting Covenant of Peace”).
The American people WITHIN the borders of the United States, and within the State Borders of each Constitution of each State, DO NOT need GAS and OIL within the borders of the nation. Why?
Because the 50 states are not at war with one another. Because the 50 states have national guards, and military bases within each state.
This fundamental TRUTH and obvious REALIZATION enables all peoples within the country to go green and electric, or hydroelectric, or full hydro, or something else, with all our cars and vehicles operating within the country, while ONLY the military needs GAS and OIL.
This fundamental necessarily of strengthening the military forces, while freeing the peoples daily needs for gas and oil, will swiftly bring about the Golden Age of Divine Civilization for America and for the total liberation and independence of all its people.
Going GREEN domestic, will create millions of more jobs, make the rich richer, and elevate the poor out of abject poverty into a baseline of a strong and vibrant middle class lifestyle for all.
With GAS and OIL no longer needed to satisfy domestic energy needs, the American Military Forces, will be the sole consumers of gas and oil powered vehicles, along with certain construction machines, and necessary farming and agricultural equipment, that can be feuled by hybrids and biodeisal if necessary to get the job done.
America’s vast oil reserves, therefore, would be even more abundant to free the United States to remain an undaunted military might, protecting the new Green High Tech lifestyle within the borders of the nation. According to FRONTLINE:
“Military forces, when they are strong and ready and modern, are a credible — and tangible — addition to a nation’s power. When both the intangible national will and those forces are forged into one instrument, national power becomes effective.”
Furthermore, Activating Article 2 of the prophesied Kellogg-Briand Paris Peace Pact (1928, Ez. 37:26) will greatly reduce the need for burning gas and oil by the military that will only need that for military drills, exercises, and “war games”, never needing to be used in actual “hot wars.”
How will this come about?
First, certain states, will volunteer to be the first to go 100% GREEN within their own borders. The sucess or failure of this endeavor will set the stage for all other states to get in on the act, once total sucess overcomes all failure. How will this happen?
Let’s take an important and central state, such as Michigan, for example.
Michigan economy is greatly tied into the automotive industry. Michigan will become the largest manufacturer of affordable green vehicles, that all the people in the state will own and operate. The workers in Michigan will make enough money to easily buy back the goods and vehicles they produce. Michigan will be the first state to also go green on energy production to power all the needs of the people within the state both commercial, industrial, private and public sector, and for personal and home use. No gas, coal or oil will be needed in Michigan to produce the abundant energy needs of all. Both the Automotive Industry and the Big Power companies of Michigan will become efficient, clean, wealthy and prosperous. Agriculture, science and technology, and industry will be strengthened in Michigan. If Pure Michigan can be the first, for example, to make this work, then Michigan and Detroit will become the national leader of the Golden Age of American society, when it comes to both strengthening and fortifying, the covenant of iron (industry) with the covenant of wood (agriculture) to unite as a single covenant of gold. Should Michigan do this ease, wealth and prosperity for all will be the norm and the rule for all, and not the exception to it. Community gardens will be established in the urban centers. Jobs will abound. Education will flourish. Arts, science, and entertainment will abound. And the Tiger’s will win the world series, and the Lion’s will win a superbowl. Such is the imagination, optimism, and Spirit of Unity we all must have to dance the dream awake. In such a state, no one will have time for crime, small businesses owner-operated will flourish, poverty will be a thing of the past, and people will be so high on life, that drug addictions and suicides, and school shootings will become an unheard of thing of the past!
My point is this: if states go green within their own borders in both power production and transportation then oil and gas can be used where it is most necessary NATIONAL DEFENSE.
Furthermore, as America becomes the world leader in AGAIN being the premier democratic nation to uphold the prophesied Kellogg-Briand Paris Peace Pact, like it did during the DAYS OF WWII, much less gas and oil will be needed to POWER the UNSTOPPABLE MILITARY MIGHT of the United States of America, and to establish peace within its own borders.
Gas and Oil are needed to “win” the war, and winning this current war means deterrence from stopping all wars in the first place.
The absurd and unnecessary use of oil and gas dependence domesticly is threatening national security Internationally!!!
Going green in energy production and transportation and home use domesticly is imperative if America and all Americans wish to survive and protect the American way of life in this next century! Every tank of gas each citizen consumes is one less tank of gas our soldiers need to thrive and survive overseas. Think about it!
Detroit, will still manufacture military equipment and agricultural machines too. More jobs will be created. The rich will get richer, and the poor will become affluent and poverty free. If a volunteer state like Michigan, is able to this, then high population states like New York and California will follow, until all 50 states are 100% green within. We have the tech, the strength, the funds, the logistics, the know-how to do it! All we need is the united will of all the people, big business and industry to bring this about.
Friends! We currently live in a violent and unpredictable world in desperate need for Universal Peace and the Oneness of Humanity!
If America falls, the American Dream, and Constitutional Democracy falls along with it! That means, America, just cannot afford to have its military might dependant upon huge consumption of FOREIGN supplies of gas and oil, and the best and easiest practical immediate REMEDY is that American use of gas and oil domesticly go for the MILITARY and all domestic power and transportation go green, the sooner the better!
Furthermore, it’s good for the air. It’s good for the water. It’s good for the environment. It’s good for the heart, mind and soul! Its good for you, its good for me, its good for everyone!
In the long run–when Universal international disarmament takes place, fossil fuels feeding military death machines will fade away as well, as “old soldiers” do…War and death, a thing of the past…”Death! Where is thy sting!?”
America and all the world stands at the precipice of democratically electing the Supreme Tribunal to end all war, and America, the first to uphold the prophesied Kellogg-Briand Paris Peace Pact in 1928, shall remain a leader in world influence ONLY AGAIN in being the leader in upholding the prophesied Kellogg-Briand Paris Peace Pact today at its Centenary in 2028, that fast approaches.
What type of sacrifice is it, to sacrifice domestic use of gas and oil for the unlimited use by necessary military might? In a new world, where even war itself, shall become a thing of the past?
Going green domesticly is essential if America is to remain strong, bright, and undefeated internationally. And in the end, even war itself shall be defeated.
“United we stand! Divided we fall!”
“One nation, under God”; and as it says ON THE MONEY: “IN GOD, WE TRUST”…

“A conquest can be a praiseworthy thing, and there are times when war becomes the powerful basis of peace, and ruin the very means of reconstruction. If, for example, a high-minded sovereign marshals his troops to block the onset of the insurgent and the aggressor, or again, if he takes the field and distinguishes himself in a struggle to unify a divided state and people, if, in brief, he is waging war for a righteous purpose, then this seeming wrath is mercy itself, and this apparent tyranny the very substance of justice and this warfare the cornerstone of peace. Today, the task befitting great rulers is to establish universal peace, for in this lies the freedom of all peoples.” (‘Abdu’l-Baha, SDC)

O kings of the earth! He Who is the sovereign Lord of all is come. The Kingdom is God’s, the omnipotent Protector, the Self-Subsisting. Worship none but God, and, with radiant hearts, lift up your faces unto your Lord, the Lord of all names. This is a Revelation to which whatever ye possess can never be compared, could ye but know it.

This is the Day in which He Who held converse with God hath attained the light of the Ancient of Days, and quaffed the pure waters of reunion from this Cup that hath caused the seas to swell. Say: By the one true God! Sinai is circling round the Dayspring of Revelation, while from the heights of the Kingdom the Voice of the Spirit of God is heard proclaiming: “Bestir yourselves, ye proud ones of the earth, and hasten ye unto Him.” Carmel hath, in this Day, hastened in longing adoration to attain His court, whilst from the heart of Zion there cometh the cry: “The promise is fulfilled. That which had been announced in the holy Writ of God, the Most Exalted, the Almighty, the Best-Beloved, is made manifest.”

O kings of the earth! The Most Great Law hath been revealed in this Spot, this scene of transcendent splendour. Every hidden thing hath been brought to light by virtue of the Will of the Supreme Ordainer, He Who hath ushered in the Last Hour, through Whom the Moon hath been cleft, and every irrevocable decree expounded.

Ye are but vassals, O kings of the earth! He Who is the King of Kings hath appeared, arrayed in His most wondrous glory, and is summoning you unto Himself, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting. Take heed lest pride deter you from recognizing the Source of Revelation, lest the things of this world shut you out as by a veil from Him Who is the Creator of heaven. Arise, and serve Him Who is the Desire of all nations, Who hath created you through a word from Him, and ordained you to be, for all time, the emblems of His sovereignty.

“The riddle of the Sphinx is: What has one voice, What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon and three at evening?”
The answer? The Great Pyramid Constellation…its morning is its rise in the East, as the upright pyramid on four bases, like a human a baby; at ” high noon” zenith due south, the Constellation resembles a man on two legs, Orion or Shiva, and other names, east to West, and at its evening, “three legs” is the human being in old age with a walking stick; and here the same 12 Star Group, now resembles a “butterfly ” setting in the West a symbol of “psyche” and the death and rebirth of souls in the afterlife…
There’s more to do on earth than squabble over bananas (oil & religion)…
At the very least, we can all cooperate together to “reverse” the current total war economy…and manage our material affairs copaceticly…

Derigibles like the Hindenburg can carry 12 tons of freight!
The average pyramid stone weight is only 2.5 tons…easy piesey for block and tackle with air support via balloons…7 to 10 Hindenburg size derigables, with a minimum 3 passengers crew, and no cargo could easily lift 1 90 Ton Red Granite beam into place on the 50th level of core masonry. That coral palace guy down in Florida used balloons he deflated, so no one would no how he did it “alone”…the pyramids of Mexico, the Nazca Lines, all seen by hot air balloon easy…
Also, hydroplaning on water was used along with block and tackle as well…
The Capstone was never set in place on top. It was placed in front of the east face of the pyramid in the north-west area of the East plaza, the Sphinx being located in the South part of the East Plaza…facing east, in front of the East side of the pyramid…facing the constellation of the “12 Stars of Giza” that form the pyramid diagram in space…the 5 outer stars of the four foundation stones and Capstone, and the 7 internal passageway stars: the 4 Stars of the Kings Chamber, Tower of the Four Winds, Gabled Upper-Chamber, and Antechamber; and the 3 stars representing the three red granite “plugs” at the start of the Ascending Passageway, from out of the cores of the four red granite girdle stones (star nebulas that give birth to new stars) in this spectacular Cosmic Grand Gallery where stars are actually born!
3 stars in the ramp; plus 4 stars in the tower = 7 stars interior, plus 4 foundation stars and 1 Capstone star = 12 Stars in her crown…
Like the 12 stars meaning the 12 Zodiacal Constellations and each of those associated with 3 other Constellations (the decants, 3 per each zodiac for 36) other minor or “decant stars” fill out the rest of the features of her starry crown…
Rigel, a foundation star in the external 3d schema, also holds the position of the North Door, or first Gate, on the North face of the pyramid that opens up to the descending passageway that intersects with the Ascending Passageway (AP) containing the three granite plugs and four girdle stones symbolized by the three STARS and Four Nebulas that gave birth to them.
From Rigel, down to the AP, you can easily count 10 smaller stars forming a line like a string of pearls upon a necklace that represent the 10 white marble blocks that filled its descending passageway, to that juncture…
The next gate, is represented by the hidden lintel stone that fell out of the AC. A small star can be seen there represting that feature. The next gate, entering the grand galley, we come to what David Davidson located as the “Rhomboid of Displacement ” purely as an architectural feature, identified now with the “Trapezium Cluster” : a rhomboid is a special type of trapezoid in the organic hierarchy of quadrilaterals…
Also notice! A small star associated with Sigma Ori, at the precise location of the face of the Great Step center line, in precise alignment with Pi3 Ori, the Apex Star indicating at star pyramids zenith…
Below the Center Star of the Great Step is a line of horizontal stars between the center-line drawn down from Pi3 ori spliting the pyramid Constellation in half down to Sirius. This Axis-Center-line continues upward from Pi3 Ori Apex Star, passed Aldebaran to intersect with Alcyone of the Plieades, in the pyramid on earth, this access line defines the “middle space” of the passageway system, via the horizontal passageway, seen in heaven, as the line of horizontal stars strung like pearls on a pearl necklace, coming out, from the juncture point of the opening of the AP to the grand gallery…where stars are birn…several more “decant” stars outline the Gabled Roof of the so-called queens chamber.
From ap to gg is another “gate” or “door” to the next inner chamber . Another gate, or opening to enter the horizontal passage, another the QC itself, another from gg to AC, then another, at the granite leaf, and another to enter the KC. And 3 subterranean, the subterranean chamber itself, and two more gates at the opening entrance and exit to the grotto of the wellshaft…12 Gates! With 12 Stars standing “within them”…
A) Main Gate: Rigel to dp.
B) Gate from dp to ap
C) Gate from ap to gg
D) Gate of the gg to ac, first low passage
E) Gate of the Portcullis
F) Gate of the second low passage
G) Gate of the Kings Chamber
H) Gate of the Subterranean Chamber
I) Gate of the Lower Grotto
L) Gate of the Upper Grotto
K) Gate of the Horizontal Passageway
L) Gate of the Queens Chamber to niche
12 gates! 12 Stars “a crown of 12 stars” a “foundation of 12 stones” where “12 angels/stars” stood within “12 Gates” of the City of Peace descending from heaven, a blueprint for peace, as a Celestial Capstone in the stars…with 12 foundation “stones” that are 12 stars: 7 within, and 5 without…
“And he saw” one third of the stars” ” come down from heaven to earth”…meaning Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka, are represented upon earth as 3 Pyramids, and the Capstone Star, Saif, locates the ground position where the Capstone was situated. 4 stars, out of 12, “a third of them” 12 stars ÷ 3 = 4 stars “upon the earth”…and all this! So folks would know, without doubt, that universalpeace on earth is a real authentic and genuine God concept! That is its an idea from God, not from man, but from God, that all people in flesh and spirit should dwell in love cooperation and peace!

Here we see the 12 Major stars of “Orion” precisely indicating the major structural features of the Great Pyramid inner passageway system.
Alnitak–the Great Pyramid Star–occupies the position of the Ark of the Covenant exact placement in both the Star pyramid temple in heaven and the stone temple pyramid on earth.
This calls for a matter of deeper investigation! Those of the Ancient antediluvian civilization that constructed the Great Pyramid, did so as a type of prophetic timecapsule of knowledge written in the language of science and mathematics…
The central message as depicted in the stars–Alnitak–and the so-called “Kings Chamber” is the Symbol of the Black-Chocolate Granite Coffer stone, that Represents the Ark of the Covenant.
According to scholars, who have mapped out, the entire inner passageway as a chronological time scale, the Ark dates are from 1844 AD to 2001 AD, and in 1928, we in fact do find, that the “everlasting Covenant of peace”(Ez. 37)–the Covenant of both the Bible, and the Bible in Stone–has already been legislated as International Law as of Aug. 27, 1928, exactly 2520 years from Ezekiel’s first Vision in the summer of 593 bc to the exact day (593 bc + 2520 years =1928, there’s no zero year).
The appearance of the Pyramid in the Stars, for the first time, now, fulfills prophecy, for the bringing forth of the Capstone [third eye opened] for all people to SEE, the Covenant, in this Celestial Ark (in a place in heaven where baby stars are born…) is NOW upon the earth as the promised Kellogg-Briand Paris Peace Pact of King David…
The volume of the pyramid Capstone is 2520 cubic cubits, represting the number of years from both 593bc to 1928, when war was outlawed and the Covenant was established; and the 2520 years from the laying of the foundation stone (see Haggai) in 520 BC to when the Golden Age opened with the collapse of the trade towers in September 2001 and the hoisting aloft the divine standard of the Oneness of Humanity in the form of the Tree of LIFE: Genealogy Of Religious Teachers…
Now today, the celestial Capstone comes forth, in the name of the Paris Peace Pact, the “Covenant of Love” (Deut, 7:9, 9:7 NIV) for Universal Peace, promised by God to heal all the ills of humankind…
Rev. 12:1″And there appeared a Great Wonder [the great pyramid inner passageway system of the “7 wonders” of the ancient world…] appeared in the sky; a woman [Covenant of Everlasting Peace] and upon her head [capstone] a crown of twelve stars [Rigel, Betelguese, Bellatrix, Saiph, Pi3 Ori & Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka, Sigma Ori & stars Theta Ori, Iota Ori, and 42 Ori…]. Smaller stars fill in the rest of the passageways, angles, and other features in uncanny detail…
“…Then he will bring out the Capstone to shouts of ‘God bless it! God bless it!’” (Zech. 4-7 NIV)
The Capstone for human civilization on earth is Universal Peace for the Oneness of Humanity. This is happening now! It’s prophesied in the Bible. It’s prophesied in the Quran. It’s prophesied in the Book of Revelation. It’s prophesied in the Great Pyramid prophecy. It’s prophesied in the very stars in the sky! Peace on earth is HERE NOW if you want it! Kellogg-Briand Paris Peace Pact 1928!
Abolition of War, 2028!

The Great Pyramid Constellation as the Appearance of Shiva dancing in the sky, stepping upon “ignorance ” even as Michael and the dragon fought in the Book of Revelation…
When Vishnu Awakes, Shiva appears! Today this three kings day, Shiva has appeared in the sky as the symbolic embodiment of the Great Pyramid Prophecy for CHOICE! Kellogg-Briand Prophesied Peace Pact Covenant of King David [check box a] or “Plan B” “I have become death, the [thermonuclear] destroyer of the world’s” the Oppenheimer Option [check box B]…you know the one…the unopened box with shroedingers groundhog inside–alive or dead. Both or neither, until we open it…and then either early “Arab Spring!” Kellogg-Briand Paris Peace Pact in the middle-East or a sticks and stones Einsteinean thermonuclear WINTER of madmaxish dehumanizing consumerism…
VOTE NO! On Proposal Plan B!
VOTE YES! For “Pacific Means”!
VOTE NO! On the Oppenheimer Option!
VOTE YES! For the justice of the Oneness of Humanity!
VOTE YES! For Universal Peace!
VOTE YES! For the Kellogg-Briand Paris Peace Pact!
It’s not the only option on the Table! It’s the Table of Justice, truth, compassion and Love Itself! That supports ALL options of “pacific means ” — a pure Table of show-bread– where 12 loaves of bread are turned into 12 precious “stones,” that are 12 Precious foundation stones, symbolized by 12 precious STARS that form the Great Pyramid Passageway Constellation ” Crown of 12 stars” upon “her head” meaning the Celestial Capstone is now seen in its place, this Christmas and 3 Kings days Jan 6-9…24…
And if Satan himself asked us to change these 12 Stones into bread, we say no! Because “man cannot live by bread alone” but by every word [logos/covenant/ stone] uttered by the mouth of God “…and “the rock was Christ “! Meaning the Rock of Ages, the firm foundation, the bedrock–rock bottom, has appeared: Peace on earth in an astounding Prophesied interstellar God given Universal Plan…1928 Outlaws War! 2028 Abolishes It!

James Tanton’s “spacial approach” to the ancient science of the wisdom of ma’at (math) and of the personal practices of the mathematicoi: is a wonderful and enjoyable journey for both new-comers and old friends to the abstract worlds of intangible forms and their topological appearances; manifold.
Montessori (who consulted with Abdu’l-Baha upon education) also provided for an environment that supports the development of what Bucky Fuller called “geometric thinking” in pragmatic application by using wood blocks to dramatically demonstrate the form and function (spatially/that relates to music) of the Operation and Function of Quadratic equations. This tangible block method, in its fully developed demonstration was called “the three kings”. The lessons of the three kings (spatially mind-expanding exercise) is the same type of approach Tanton brings to the entire field in general. One of the most enriching mathematical experiences of my lifetime; and surprisingly, contextually validating my own approaches to the alleviation of math anxiety in clients in private practice. Tanton’s course is a true gift! A gift of “the fourth magi” (see the film) and Tanton’s personal demonstration is Stellar! And his character and approach, gold…
Today, I had a personal epiphany. Maybe others already know this, but for me it was also a personal epiphany… while musing about 22 and 7…
I realized that 7 “goes in” to 22, three (3) full times (as 21) with 1 remaining or “left over”.
So that’s 3, 1r…
Then let 7 go into 10, (1 time) with 3 left over, that’s 30 four more times) with 2 left over…
Keeping track of times that’s 3 times (the first time); 1 time (the second time); 4 times on the third turn…and with 2 left over (twice) with r. 6, that’s (8 more times) , etc….
To write out all the times in a time sequence of times (where each time signature is represented by a unit position on the decimal continuum) we arrive at:
3.1428…which is the correct decimal notation sequence for 22/7 that appears on your calculator screen…
Now I was doing this in my imagination (spatially as Tanton teaches that faculty to develop) to compare that to Pi, 3.1415926…as its well known to the ancients that 22/7 works for pi…
Seeing the decimal expansion come out correctly from the pov I was thinking from surprised me! Then all of a sudden I realized what all that “jargon” and “math kottas” and notation about ” long division practices” were really all about that had clouded my thinking on this point…and the fog there went away…
I like the “elegance” and profound meaning of transcendental numbers like pi, that can be expressed in whole/natural numbers as is phi, and like the simplicity of Euler’s Formula, etc…
3.14286 minus 3.14159 is 0.00126 that is a 22.6 ten-thoudandths of and an inch, and therefore works in fact accurate est., as 22/7 doesn’t underestimate anything.
Consider phi. 1.618, that is 1 plus root5 all divided over 2…
6/5 * Phi^2 = 3.14158 relating phi to pi…
Or
22/7 = 6/5 * Phi^2
5/6 * 22/7 = (1 + r5)(1 + r5)/(2*2)
Fun with whole natural numbers, whose interactions coincide precisely “above” some lower decimal time signature from whence they apparently diverge into the infinitesimal…thus for pragmatic purposes an infinitesimal difference in the non-essentials is of no concern,…deviate a hair’s breadth from tuning in your radio: you get static…
From the static to the dynamic!
I’m grateful for educators like Ramajun and Tanton for their Modes and Open Spatial approaches and applications that are as a real door to the abstract, the beautiful and the divine.
A gift worth giving along with the Great Pyramid in the Stars…
“and they said they had followed a STAR [Anitak & co.] they had seen in the Eastern sky…”
That was 2000 years ago, when the same Alignment of Orion was seen then as it is this Christmas today, then Sun in the Age of Pisces now, Sun in Aquarius. The other difference from then and now, Pisces to Aquarius, fish to man, Johnah to whale, dove to leviathan, war to peace: at Christmas then (og-christmas), as opposed to today, is that 2000 years ago, there was no pole star: “Greek navigator Pytheas in ca. 320 BC described the celestial pole as deVOID of stars…”
Today, according to the Mayan Calendar and the Prophecies of the Great Pyramid of Giza, for the appearanc of the Great Pyramid Star itself, at the precise time Polaris, a pole star is in exact position, Anitak, rises due East, as the Visible Celestial Capstone, housing the star maps of the pyramid prophecy of its own inner passageway system, written in clear sight for all to see, situated VISUALLY upon the flat top of the Great Pyramid of Giza itself, if your standing west of the pyramid looking east on Christmas Day…
Now this “Bethlehem Star Vision” of the Great Pyramid of Giza Christmas hasn’t been seen since the first Magi (and thus these stars were called, the “three kings” after them) showed up in Jerusalem, with an army of elephants, horses, camels, a full retinue of ambassadors and people of the East! Why? Prophecy!
And, the “testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy”…Rev19…
Neariah, the Resh Galutha, Exilarch of Nehardea, Av bet din, and his son, el-Lionai, from Persian Babylonia, and the Parthian Court that was intermarried with the royal family of King David at that time sent gifts and tributes, because Jesus was foretold in his Jewish sacred script. Having intermarried with the family of Zoroaster thru Cyrus the great, the Zoroastrian parts of the family told their friends and family too, as Zoroaster (himself a descendant of Moses via the intermarriage with the family of Jethro the Midianite (Hadrat Spitamo) prophesied Jesus to his people as the First “Sayoshyant” to his people called the Magi. The Persians, according to Tabari, Amuli, and Isfandiyar, are namesake after their ancestor Parez, the son of Judah: “According to Ethiopian tradition, Perez became a king of Persia…” and thus the sect of Pharisees, accepted the books of the Hebrew Prophets revealed in Persia, where the Sadducees did not. This is why in the book of Mathew it states MAGI (plural) arrived, for the Exilarchs of David and the Zoroastrians were the same royal family of the same holy household. In ancient copies of the gospel of Mathew preserved in Syriac, in the East, it not only states MAGI but also includes the prophet Zoroaster by name…
The Parthian Government at that time was in economic relations with India and China as had that by Cyrus the great, that the Hebrew prophet Is. Calls “messiah” ” the anointed one” of God: and as the good news! Of the word of immanent birth of the long awaited long prophesied Sayoshyant of Zoroaster spread like a torrential wild fire through the East, the message spread in Different Languages (due to Babel) into different cultures, according to the different prophecies in all the languages of the east: the Maitreya of Buddha is to be born! The promised Ganesha of Krishna has arrived! And the Magi appeared, on howdahs upon elephants, and “white elephant ” is a Christmas game…
“While scholars differ about his origins, dating him between 1st century BCE and 2nd century CE, Ganesha was well established by the 4th and 5th centuries CE, during the Gupta period … ”
That is precisely just prior to, during, and exactly AFTER the Magi arrived and the birth of baby Jesus!!!
” Unlike those of some deities, representations of Ganesha show wide variations and distinct patterns changing over time. He may be portrayed standing, dancing, heroically taking action against demons, playing with his family as a boy, sitting down on an elevated seat, or engaging in a range of contemporary situations.
“Ganesha images were prevalent in many parts of India by the 6th century CE. The 13th-century statue pictured is typical of Ganesha statuary from 900 to 1200, after Ganesha had been well-established as an independent deity [Jesus] with his own sect.”
As to the name: gana & Isha! “Isha” is the very name Jesus!
In Greek je-sus, is literally “I god” “jer zeus” in Arabic Isa, Aramaic Ishu,…etc…Isha means Lord or Master. Gana, means “categorical system” and refers to the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Gana also means group or great multitude, and refers to the body of believers in Isha (Jesus/Ishu) whose hearts minds and souls embody and embrace his sacred Revelation for the Covenant of Universal Peace for the Oneness of All Humanity.
“The term ‘gana ‘more generally means a category, class, community, association, or corporation. Some commentators interpret the name “Lord of the Gaṇas” to mean “Lord of Hosts” or “Lord of created categories”, such as the elements…”
And thus even the Author of the Peace Pact arrived in the land of mystery riding upon a howdah! A howdah, that prepared the way for the arrival of the “Kings from the East!”…(Rev. 16:12, magi, from Persia, where David’s throne was preserved for 2300 years, before relocating to the United States in 1921…,
Happy 3-Kings day! On all levels!
Jan 6 thru 9
Merry Inter-Faith Christmas to all!

“In him was life, and that life was the light of all humankind…” John 1:4….”out of Egypt [the pyramid in heaven and the pyramid on earth], I shall bring forth my ‘son’ “… “blessed are the peacemakers ” “They who do the WORK of the Father” for that reason “they shall be called the sons of God”

The Celestial Great Pyramid of Giza (with full detailed inner-passageway systems written in the Stars!) seen in the Eastern skies of Deer Lodge Valley, Montana, rising above the town of Phillipsburg, in the foreground. [[Original photo courtesy of Urs Keller]]
The Great Pyramid is symbolized by the star Anitak, that is depicted in the PYRAMID CONSTELLATION as “occupying ” the “house” of the “Kings chamber” –the Central position of placement of the Arc of the Covenant in the Holy of Holies in the temple of Moses in the Bible: fulfilled today in the 1928 prophesied “everlasting Covenant of Peace ” (Ez. 37:26) the Paris Peace Pact.
Via its relationship externally and internally with the same key stars, known throughout history as the “3 Kings”–look to the East!
It’s the stars that rise on Christmas to 3 Kings Day EXACTLY perpendicular to the horizon. If you were standing west of the flat topped great pyramid of Giza in Cairo Egypt, you would see this Inner-Chambers Passageway Stellar System, with its spectacular “grand galley” of nebulas and phenomenon PRECISELY situated as the Celestial Capstone upon the top platform exactly in Place!!!
“And they shall bring forth the Capstone with shouts of grace, grace unto it” -Zechariah.
This universal symbol of the Oneness of Humanity as represented in the Great Pyramid message, and Prophecy for Peace in Our Time, has meaningfulness to all the cultures and people’s of the world, even as much as the stars in heaven themselves, the mysteries of our own being, and the religious (“love impulse”) for union in God does; (and the ardent desire for truth justice and peace) all do.
This spectacular Stellar Vision of the Great Pyramid Passages in the stars, would have thrilled and invigorated Piazzi Smyth, the astronomer royal of Scotland, who would be making precise angular measurements and comparisons even now…between that of heaven (lit. the sky, near Aldebaran and the Pleiades) and the one literally on earth, near Cairo.
This never-been-seen-before vision in the Sky, that everyone with two eyes can see for themselves is accurate, unites “heaven” on earth, literally, thru prophecy fulfillment, and the further blending of many sciences, such as archaeo-astronomy, etc…
This Vision of the maiden descending, the maiden of the heavenly Covenant for Universal Peace prophesied by Jesus 2000 years ago is fulfilled today with the Appearance of the Kellogg-Briand Paris Peace Pact (on earth as it is in heaven) and the Great Celestial Pyramid in the Sky, (as its passages are measured in the Great Pyramid on earth) BOTH symbolizing our everlasting Covenant for world peace on earth. Even as Black Elk’s prophesied World Unity Tree of the Covenant, of the Arapaho, has been adorned this year with the Christmas Lights of Khufu from the Celestial spheres above…
At the same time this Capstone prophecy is fulfilled, the world is at war, especially in Gaza and Ukraine (Hamongog) as depicted in the book of Ez. Chps. 1-8; 37-39, prophecies that span exactly 22 years of spiritual visionary experiences. Accurate!
“And there appeared a Great Pyramid [wonder] in the Sky [heaven]; a Covenant [woman] clothed with the sun [Kellogg-Briand Paris Peace Pact: 1928], and the moon [Universal Declaration of Unalienable Human Rights: 1948] under her feet, and upon her head a crown [responsibility & love] for [all the peoples, symbolized by] “the twelve [zodiacal] stars”: And she being with child [ready to democratically elect the SupremeTribunal “the male-child” to End War] cried [“end war now!”], travailing [from nationalism to internationalism] in birth, and pained [wwiii] to [have the democratic election] be delivered….”
“And there appeared another wonder in heaven [the sky]; and behold [Satan II hypersonic thermonuclear missiles winding like ] a great red dragon”: WAR!–thru the visible skies, like Sputnik..
“And great multitude, that no man could number, with “Palm branches” [surrendering to cooperate together in peace] in their hands…and there was peace on earth for 1000 years…”✨️
…and the “dragon was thrown into a pit”… to be destroyed when the 1000 years were complete…and I saw a new heaven and a new earth, the City of God’s Covenant of Peace, New Jerusalem descending from the sky, in the big sky state, like a bride [law of peace] adorned for her husband [society on earth]…above the Deer Lodge Valley: the Cosmic Map of the Lord, the Plan of God, for love, justice, compassion and kindness for all, and social freedoms and personal and national Autonomy preserved.
This Plan of God depicted in the stars and in the chronological passageway system of The Great Pyramid, and spoken of in the Bible and Holy Koran has come true today with the discovery of the Covenant to Outlaw War (1928, Kellogg-Briand Paris Peace Pact) that is Our charter, the people’s charter, today for Universal peace and justice for all via democratically electing the Supreme Tribunal to end war.
According to the letter of the Hopi Elders “We are the ones, we have been waiting for!”
We announced the Vision of the Maiden, Rev. Ch. 12 on Naw Ruz, 2020: today we see its graphic depiction fulfilled as a “Wonder in the Sky” the last surviving of the seven original seven wonders of the world.
From the Pyramid to the Bible, to the Koran, and Tripitakas, Avesta, and Gita! From common sense! Not to “fight over the pile of bananas” but instead cooperate together via “pacific means”…those chimps killed one another, AND destroyed all their bananas so no one had any…
In other words the Creator has a message for US! A message that chimps (we’re 98.2% genetically different from them) just wouldn’t understand…
And therefore, this message is universal, applies to everyone, is all inclusive, and animated by the Spirit of Love! Let’s cooperate to manage and garden our worlds together!
Merry Inter-Faith Christmas and 3 Kings! Day of Epiphany and the Magi (Jan. 6-9)
…and we welcome the coming spring!

TABLET FOR A DURABLE PEACE

(Lawh-i-Hague)

–‘Abdu’l-Baha–

O YE ESTEEMED ONES WHO ARE PIONEERS AMONG THE WELL-WISHERS OF THE WORLD OF HUMANITY![1]

The letters which ye sent during the war were not received, but a letter dated 11 February 1916, has just come to hand, and immediately an answer is being written. Your intention deserves a thousand praises, because you are serving the world of humanity, and this is conducive to the happiness and welfare of all. This recent war has proved to the world and the people that war is destruction while Universal Peace is construction; war is death while peace is life; war is rapacity and bloodthirstiness while peace is beneficence and humaneness; war is an appurtenance of the world of nature while peace is of the foundation of the religion of God; war is darkness upon darkness while peace is heavenly light; war is the destroyer of the edifice of mankind while peace is the everlasting life of the world of humanity; war is like a devouring wolf while peace is like the angels of heaven; war is the struggle for existence while peace is mutual aid and co-operation among the peoples of the world and the cause of the good-pleasure of the True One in the heavenly realm.

There is not one soul whose conscience does not testify that in this day there is no more important matter in the world than that of Universal Peace. Every just one bears witness to this and adores that esteemed Assembly because its aim is that this darkness may be changed into light, this bloodthirstiness into kindness, this torment into bliss, this hardship into ease and this enmity and hatred into fellowship and love. Therefore, the effort of those esteemed souls is worthy of praise and commendation.

But the wise souls who are aware of the essential relationships emanating from the realities of things consider that one single matter cannot, by itself, influence the human reality as it ought and should, for until the minds of men become united, no important matter can be accomplished. At present Universal Peace is a matter of great importance, but unity of conscience is essential, so that the foundation of this matter may become secure, its establishment firm and its edifice strong.

Therefore Baha’u’llah, fifty years ago, expounded this question of Universal Peace at a time when He was confined in the fortress of ‘Akka and was wronged and imprisoned. He wrote about this important matter of Universal Peace to all the great sovereigns of the world, and established it among His friends in the orient. The horizon of the East was in utter darkness, nations displayed the utmost hatred and enmity towards each other, religions thirsted for each other’s blood, and it was darkness upon darkness. At such a time Baha’u’llah shone forth like the Sun from the horizon of the East and illumined Persia with the lights of these teachings.

Among His teachings was the Declaration of Universal Peace. People of different nations, religions and sects who followed Him came together to such an extent that remarkable gatherings were instituted consisting of the various nations and religions of the East. Every soul who entered these gatherings saw but one nation, one teaching, one pathway, one order, for the teachings of Baha’u’llah were not limited to the establishment of Universal Peace. They embraced many teachings which supplemented and supported that of Universal Peace.

Among these teachings was the Independent Investigation of Reality so that the world of humanity may be saved from the darkness of imitation and attain to the truth; may tear off and cast away this ragged and outgrown garment of a thousand years ago and may put on the robe woven in the utmost purity and holiness in the loom of reality. As reality is one and cannot admit of multiplicity, therefore different opinions must ultimately become fused into one.

And among the teachings of Baha’u’llah is the Oneness of the world of Humanity; that all human beings are the sheep of God and He is the kind Shepherd. This Shepherd is kind to all the sheep, because He created them all, trained them, provided for them and protected them. There is no doubt that the Shepherd is kind to all the sheep and should there be among these sheep ignorant ones, they must be educated; if there be children, they must be trained until they reach maturity; if there be sick ones, they must be cured. There must be no hatred and enmity, for as by a kind physician these ignorant, sick ones should be treated.

And among the teachings of Baha’u’llah is that Religion must be the cause of fellowship and Love. If it becomes the cause of estrangement then it is not needed, for religion is like a remedy; if it aggravates the disease then it becomes unnecessary.

And among the teachings of Baha’u’llah is that Religion must be in conformity with Science and Reason, so that it may influence the hearts of men. The foundation must be solid and must not consist of imitations.

And among the teachings of Baha’u’llah is that religious, racial, political, economic and patriotic Prejudices destroy the edifice of humanity. As long as these prejudices prevail, the world of humanity will not have rest. For a period of 6000 years history informs us about the world of humanity. During these 6000 years the world of humanity has not been free from war, strife, murder and bloodthirstiness. In every period war has been waged in one country or another and that war was due to either religious prejudice, racial prejudice, political prejudice or patriotic prejudice. It has therefore been ascertained and proved that all prejudices are destructive of the human edifice. As long as these prejudices persist, the struggle for existence must remain dominant, and bloodthirstiness and rapacity continue. Therefore, even as was the case in the past, the world of humanity cannot be saved from the darkness of nature and cannot attain illumination except through the abandonment of prejudices and the acquisition of the morals of the Kingdom.

If this prejudice and enmity are on account of religion consider that religion should be the cause of fellowship, otherwise it is fruitless. And if this prejudice be the prejudice of nationality consider that all mankind are of one nation; all have sprung from the tree of Adam, and Adam is the root of the tree. That tree is one and all these nations are like branches, while the individuals of humanity are like leaves, blossoms and fruits thereof. Then the establishment of various nations and the consequent shedding of blood and destruction of the edifice of humanity result from human ignorance and selfish motives.

As to the patriotic prejudice, this is also due to absolute ignorance, for the surface of the earth is one native land. Every one can live in any spot on the terrestrial globe. Therefore all the world is man’s birthplace. These boundaries and outlets have been devised by man. In the creation, such boundaries and outlets were not assigned. Europe is one continent, Asia is one continent, Africa is one continent, Australia is one continent, but some of the souls, from personal motives and selfish interests, have divided each one of these continents and considered a certain part as their own country. God has set up no frontier between France and Germany; they are continuous. Yea, in the first centuries, selfish souls, for the promotion of their own interests, have assigned boundaries and outlets and have, day by day, attached more importance to these, until this led to intense enmity, bloodshed and rapacity in subsequent centuries. In the same way this will continue indefinitely, and if this conception of patriotism remains limited within a certain circle, it will be the primary cause of the world’s destruction. No wise and just person will acknowledge these imaginary distinctions. Every limited area which we call our native country we regard as our motherland, whereas the terrestrial globe is the motherland of all, and not any restricted area. In short, for a few days we live on this earth and eventually we are buried in it, it is our eternal tomb. Is it worthwhile that we should engage in bloodshed and tear one another to pieces for this eternal tomb? Nay, far from it, neither is God pleased with such conduct nor would any sane man approve of it.

Consider! The blessed animals engage in no patriotic quarrels. They are in the utmost fellowship with one another and live together in harmony. For example, if a dove from the East and a dove from the West, a dove from the North and a dove from the South chance to arrive, at the same time, in one spot, they immediately associate in harmony. So is it with all the blessed animals and birds. But the ferocious animals, as soon as they meet, attack and fight with each other, tear each other to pieces and it is impossible for them to live peaceably together in one spot. They are all unsociable and fierce, savage and combative fighters.

Regarding the economic prejudice, it is apparent that whenever the ties between nations become strengthened and the exchange of commodities accelerated, and any economic principle is established in one country, it will ultimately affect the other countries and universal benefits will result. Then why this prejudice?

As to the political prejudice, the policy of God must be followed and it is indisputable that the policy of God is greater than human policy. We must follow the Divine policy and that applies alike to all individuals. He treats all individuals alike: no distinction is made, and that is the foundation of the Divine Religions.

And among the teachings of Baha’u’llah is the origination of One Language that may be spread Universally among the people. This teaching was revealed from the pen of Baha’u’llah in order that this universal language may eliminate misunderstandings from among mankind.

And among the teachings of Baha’u’llah is the Equality of Women and Men. The world of humanity has two wings–one is women and the other men. Not until both wings are equally developed can the bird fly. Should one wing remain weak, flight is impossible. Not until the world of women becomes equal to the world of men in the acquisition of virtues and perfections, can success and prosperity be attained as they ought to be.

And among the teachings of Baha’u’llah is Voluntary Sharing of one’s property with others among mankind. This voluntary sharing is greater than equality, and consists in this, that man should not prefer himself to others, but rather should sacrifice his life and property for others. But this should not be introduced by coercion so that it becomes a law and man is compelled to follow it. Nay, rather, man should voluntarily and of his own choice sacrifice his property and life for others, and spend willingly for the poor, just as is done in Persia among the Baha’is.

And among the teachings of Baha’u’llah is Man’s Freedom, that through the ideal Power he should be free and emancipated from the captivity of the world of nature; for as long as man is captive to nature he is a ferocious animal, as the struggle for existence is one of the exigencies of the world of nature. This matter of the struggle for existence is the fountain-head of all calamities and is the supreme affliction.

And among the teachings of Baha’u’llah is that Religion is a Mighty Stronghold and bulwark. If the edifice of religion shakes and totters, commotion and chaos will ensue and the order of things will be utterly upset, for in the world of mankind there are two safeguards that protect man from wrongdoing. One is the law which punishes the criminal; but the law prevents only the manifest crime and not the concealed sin; whereas the ideal safeguard, namely, the Religion of God, prevents both the manifest and the concealed crime, trains man, educates morals, compels the adoption of virtues and is the All-Inclusive Power which guarantees the felicity of the world of mankind. But by religion is meant that which is ascertained by investigation and not that which is based on mere imitation, the foundations of Divine Religions and not human imitations.

And among the teachings of Baha’u’llah is that although material civilization is one of the means for the progress of the world of mankind, yet until it becomes combined with Divine Civilization, the desired result, which is the felicity of mankind, will not be attained. Consider! These battleships that reduce a city to ruins within the space of an hour are the result of material civilization; likewise the Krupp guns, the Mauser rifles, dynamite, submarines, torpedo boats, armed aircraft and bombers–all these weapons of war are the malignant fruits of material civilization. Had material civilization been combined with Divine Civilization, these fiery weapons would never have been invented. Nay, rather, human energy would have been wholly devoted to useful inventions and would have been concentrated on praiseworthy discoveries. Material civilization is like a lamp-glass. Divine Civilization is the lamp itself and the glass without the light is dark. Material civilization is like the body. No matter how infinitely graceful, elegant and beautiful it may be, it is dead. Divine Civilization is like the Spirit, and the body gets its life from the Spirit, otherwise it becomes a corpse. It has thus been made evident that the world of mankind is in need of the breaths of the Holy Spirit. Without the Spirit the world of mankind is lifeless, and without this light the world of mankind is in utter darkness. For the world of nature is an animal world.

Until man is born again from the world of nature, that is to say, becomes detached from the world of nature, he is essentially an animal, and it is the teachings of God which convert this animal into a human soul.

And among the teachings of Baha’u’llah is the Promotion of Education. Every child (male and female) must be instructed in sciences as much as is necessary. If the parents are able to provide the expenses of this education, it is well, otherwise the community must provide the means for the teaching of that child.

And among the teachings of Baha’u’llah are Justice and Truth. Until these are realized on the plane of existence, all things shall be in disorder and remain imperfect. The world of mankind is a world of oppression and cruelty, and a realm of aggression and error.

In fine, such teachings are numerous. These manifold principles, which constitute the greatest basis for the felicity of mankind and are of the bounties of the Merciful, must be added to the matter of Universal Peace and combined with it, so that results may accrue. Otherwise the realization of Universal Peace by itself in the world of mankind is difficult. As the teachings of Baha’u’llah are combined with Universal Peace, they are like a table provided with every kind of fresh and delicious food. Every soul can find, at that table of infinite bounty, that which he desires. If the question is restricted to Universal Peace alone, the remarkable results which are expected and desired will not be attained. The scope of Universal Peace must be such that all the communities and religions may find their highest wish realized in it. The teachings of Baha’u’llah are such that all the communities of the world, whether religious, political or ethical, ancient or modern, find in them the expression of their highest wish.

For example, the people of religions find, in the teachings of Baha’u’llah, the establishment of Universal Religion–a religion that perfectly conforms with present conditions, which in reality effects the immediate cure of the incurable disease, which relieves every pain, and bestows the infallible antidote for every deadly poison. For if we wish to arrange and organize the world of mankind in accordance with the present religious imitations and thereby to establish the felicity of the world of mankind, it is impossible and impracticable–for example, the enforcement of the laws of the Torah and also of the other religions in accordance with present imitations. But the essential basis of all the Divine Religions which pertains to the virtues of the world of mankind and is the foundation of the welfare of the world of man, is found in the teachings of Baha’u’llah in the most perfect presentation.

Similarly, with regard to the peoples who clamor for freedom: the moderate freedom which guarantees the welfare of the world of mankind and maintains and preserves the universal relationships, is found in its fullest power and extension in the teachings of Baha’u’llah.

So with regard to political parties: that which is the greatest policy directing the world of mankind, nay, rather, the Divine policy, is found in the teachings of Baha’u’llah.

Likewise with regard to the party of “equality” which seeks the solution of the economic problems: until now all proposed solutions have proved impracticable except the economic proposals in the teachings of Baha’u’llah which are practicable and cause no distress to society.

So with the other parties: when ye look deeply into this matter, ye will discover that the highest aims of those parties are found in the teachings of Baha’u’llah. These teachings constitute the all-inclusive power among all men and are practicable. But there are some teachings of the past, such as those of the Torah, which cannot be carried out at the present day. It is the same with the other religions and the tenets of the various sects and the different parties.

For example, the question of Universal Peace, about which Baha’u’llah says that the Supreme Tribunal must be established: although the League of Nations has been brought into existence, yet it is incapable of establishing Universal Peace. But the Supreme Tribunal which Baha’u’llah has described will fulfill this sacred task with the utmost might and power. And His plan is this: that the national assemblies of each country and nation–that is to say parliaments–should elect two or three persons who are the choicest men of that nation, and are well informed concerning international laws and the relations between governments and aware of the essential needs of the world of humanity in this day. The number of these representatives should be in proportion to the number of inhabitants of that country. The election of these souls who are chosen by the national assembly, that is, the parliament, must be confirmed by the upper house, the congress and the cabinet and also by the president or monarch so these persons may be the elected ones of all the nation and the government. From among these people the members of the Supreme Tribunal will be elected, and all mankind will thus have a share therein, for every one of these delegates is fully representative of his nation. When the Supreme Tribunalgives a ruling on any international question, either unanimously or by majority rule, there will no longer be any pretext for the plaintiff or ground of objection for the defendant. In case any of the governments or nations, in the execution of the irrefutable decision of the Supreme Tribunal, be negligent or dilatory, the rest of the nations will rise up against it, because all the governments and nations of the world are the supporters of this Supreme Tribunal. Consider what a firm foundation this is! But by a limited and restricted League the purpose will not be realized as it ought and should. This is the truth about the situation, which has been stated.

Consider how powerful are the teachings of His Holiness Baha’u’llah. At a time when His Holiness was in the prison of ‘Akka and was under the restrictions and threats of two bloodthirsty kings. Notwithstanding this fact, His teachings spread with all power in Persia and other countries. Should any teaching, or any principle, or any community fall under the threat of a powerful and bloodthirsty monarch, it will be annihilated within a short space of time. At present for fifty years the Baha’is in Persia and most regions have been under severe restrictions and the threat of sword and spear. Thousands of souls have given their lives in the arena of sacrifice and have fallen as victims under the swords of oppression and cruelty. Thousands of esteemed families have been uprooted and destroyed. Thousands of children have been made fatherless. Thousands of fathers have been bereft of their sons. Thousands of mothers have wept and lamented for their boys who have been beheaded. All this oppression and cruelty, rapacity and bloodthirstiness did not hinder or prevent the spread of the teachings of Baha’u’llah. They spread more and more every day, and their power and might became more evident.

It may be that some foolish person among the Persians will affix his name to the contents of the Tablets of His Holiness Baha’u’llah or to the explanations given in the letters (Tablets) of ‘Abdu’l-Baha and send it to that esteemed Assembly. Ye must be aware of this fact, for any Persian who seeks fame or has some other intention will take the entire contents of the Tablets of His Holiness Baha’u’llah and publish them in his own name or in that of his community, just as happened at the Universal Races Congress in London before the war. A Persian took the substance of the Epistles of His Holiness Baha’u’llah, entered that Congress, gave them forth in his own name and published them, whereas the wording was exactly that of His Holiness Baha’u’llah. Some such souls have gone to Europe and have caused confusion in the minds of the people of Europe and have disturbed the thoughts of some Orientalists. Ye must bear this fact in mind, for not a word of these teachings was heard in Persia before the appearance of Baha’u’llah. Investigate this matter so that it may become to you evident and manifest. Some souls are like parrots. They learn any note which they may hear, and sing it, but they themselves are unaware of what they utter. There is a sect in Persia at present made up of a few souls who are called Babis, who claim to be the followers of His Holiness the Bab, whereas they are utterly unaware of His Holiness. They have some secret teachings which are entirely opposed to the teachings of Baha’u’llah and in Persia people know this. But when these souls come to Europe, they conceal their own teachings and utter those of His Holiness Baha’u’llah, for they know that the teachings of His Holiness Baha’u’llah are powerful and they therefore declare publicly those teachings of Baha’u’llah in their own name. As to their secret teachings, they say that they are taken from the Book of Bayan, and the Book of Bayan is from His Holiness the Bab. When ye get hold of the translation of the Book of Bayan, which has been translated in Persia, ye will discover the truth that the teachings of Baha’u’llah are utterly opposed to the teachings of this sect. Beware lest ye disregard this fact. Should ye desire to investigate the matter further, inquire from Persia.

In fine, when travelling and journeying throughout the world, wherever one finds construction, it is the result of fellowship and love, while everything that is in ruin shows the effect of enmity and hatred. Notwithstanding this, the world of humanity has not become aware and has not awakened from the sleep of heedlessness. Again it engages in differences, in disputes and wrangling, that it may set up ranks of war and may run to and fro in the arena of battle and strife.

So is it with regard to the universe and its corruption, existence and non-existence. Every contingent being is made up of different and numerous elements and the existence of everything is a result of composition. That is to say, when between simple elements a composition takes place a being arises; the creation of beings come about in this way. And when that composition is upset, it is followed by decomposition, the elements disintegrate, and that being becomes annihilated. That is to say, the annihilation of everything consists in the decomposition and the separation of elements. Therefore every union and color of leaves, of flowers and of fruits, each will contribute to the beauty and charm of the others and will make an admirable garden, and will appear in the utmost loveliness, freshness and sweetness. Likewise, when difference and variety of thoughts, forms, opinions, characters and morals of the world of mankind come under the control of one Supreme Power, that influence of composition among the elements is the cause of life, while dissociation and separation is the cause of death. In short, attraction and harmony of things are the cause of the production of fruits and useful results, while repulsion and in harmony of things are the cause of disturbance and annihilation. From harmony and attraction, all living contingent beings, such as plant, animal and man, are realized, and from in harmony and repulsion decay sets in and annihilation becomes manifest. Therefore whatever is the cause of harmony, attraction and union among men is the life of the world of humanity, and whatever is the cause of difference, of repulsion and of separation is the cause of the death of mankind.

And when you pass by a garden wherein vegetable beds and plants, flowers and fragrant herbs are all combined so as to form a harmonious whole, this is an evidence that this plantation and this rose garden have been cultivated and arranged by the care of a perfect gardener, while when you see a garden in disorder, lacking arrangement and confused, this indicates that it has been deprived of the care of a skilful gardener, nay, rather it is nothing but a mass of weeds. It has therefore been made evident that fellowship and harmony are indicative of the training by the real Educator, while separation and dispersion prove wildness and deprivation of Divine training.

Should any one object that, since the communities and nations and races and peoples of the world have different formalities, customs, tastes, temperaments, morals, varied thoughts, minds and opinions, it is therefore impossible for ideal unity to be made manifest and complete union among men to be realized, we say that differences are of two kinds: One leads to destruction, and that is like the difference between warring peoples and competing nations who destroy one another, uproot each other’s families, do away with rest and comfort and engage in bloodshed and rapacity. That is blameworthy. But the other difference consists in variation. This is perfection itself and the cause of the appearance of Divine bounty. Consider the flowers of the rose garden. Although they are of different kinds, various colors and diverse forms and appearances, yet as they drink from one water, are swayed by one breeze and grow by the warmth and light of one sun, this variation and this difference cause each to enhance the beauty and splendor of the others. The differences in manners, in customs, in habits, in thoughts, opinions and in temperaments is the cause of the adornment of the world of mankind. This is praiseworthy. Likewise this difference and this variation, like the difference and variation of the parts and members of the human body, are the cause of the appearance of beauty and perfection. As these different parts and members are under the control of the dominant Spirit, and the Spirit permeates all the organs and members, and rules all the arteries and veins, this difference and this variation strengthen love and harmony and this multiplicity is the greatest aid to unity. If in a garden the flowers and fragrant herbs, the blossoms and fruits, the leaves, branches and trees are of one kind, of one form, of one color and one arrangement, there is no beauty or sweetness, but when there is variety in the World of Oneness, they will appear and be displayed in the most perfect glory, beauty, exaltation and perfection. Today nothing but the power of the Word of God which encompasses the realities of things can bring the thoughts, the minds, the hearts and the spirits under the shade of one Tree. He is the potent in all things, the vivifier of souls, the preserver and the controller of the world of mankind. Praise be to God, in this day the light of the Word of God has shone forth upon all regions, and from all sects, communities, nations, tribes, peoples, religions and denominations, souls have gathered under the shadow of the Word of Oneness and have in the most intimate fellowship united and harmonized!

[1] This Tablet was written in response to a letter sent to ‘Abdu’l-Baha by the Executive Committee for a Durable Peace. In God Passes By, p. 308, Shoghi Effendi refers to this Tablet as of “far reaching importance” and states that it was “dispatched to…The Hague by the hands of a special delegation.”
