"Yeah, let it play itself out. For only then will it come to be seen who's who, and what's what around here."

My friends, I trust you'll not feel that I am making light of what occurs on the earth plane, not at all. Indeed, could it be, could it just be that I might know something about it that makes me not come here with fear written large on my face. Um hmm. What if I told you it isn't quite what it appears to be? What if I told you that all that is seemingly being perpetrated upon you is really just the death throes of a dark force that is going down, and would just like to take you with it? (He, and all laugh) But they'll not. They'll not, I tell you. They'll not. For they can't, they've got no power. Know it my dears, they've got no power. You've got to know that.

I tell you I've stood in wars at the side of those who were fighting and I've said, "They've got no power. Defend yourself. Defend your country perhaps." This in the war zone mind you, "but don't fear."

I should like to tell you a little story. It just so occurs that there be those Great and Holy Beings who do oversee the, well, let us say, the destiny of humanity. They're known by various names in various cultures and to us as the Lords of Karma, these Magnificent Beings must adhere to Cosmic Law. That is, after all, their function, isn't it? Why, if you must have an analogy on the earth plane, I should think it would be that of your American Supreme Court Justices. They are the final word on the law, how is it interpreted? Well these Magnificent Beings say, "Yeah, let it play itself out. For only then will it come to be seen who's who, and what's what around here." There's been too much façade dear ones, far too much façade.

Now, I note that there's a lot of speculation, murmurings you might say, amidst you all, and well, the lot really, everyone, about who's behind all of this. Who's really at the bottom of this? Is it Mr. Saddam Hussein? Is it others? Well, in a sense I tell you, it matters not. Who cares what's in a name? It's what's the game. That's what you've got to look at. What game are they playing? So it doesn't matter, you see, what you want to call them and whether they be this one, that one or the next. Your only concern, we think, should be that of one who will not be spoken down to, who will not be intimidated, and who will not be told lies that your heart is not agreeing with. That's what is important!

I am not here to preach insurrection, certainly, much less treason. I, of all people, have had ever and always a great and holy love for patriotism: whether it be England, whether it be America, whether it be any country. And by that I say, and you might dislike me for it, that goes for the so-called Iranians as well. I hate no one. I can't. How can I, when I've stood in the Presence of a Lord of love who changed that for me forever, as have you all, though you don't recall it right now, perhaps in your mortalities. But most of you do, and I can see that beautiful pink glow in your auras.

So dear ones, to proceed, when we look then at what goes abroad here, it is not a matter of countries, you see. And how easily one can fall into that. "Oh those Iranians, you know, those Iraqis, or whatever they are." I tell you if you could see them as we do, oh my God, you would see some frightened people. Oh, far more frightened than you! Look where they stand. These are people who are at this point in the crosshairs of weapons aimed at them by the greatest and most powerful country in the world. You think they're not frightened? Oh, I wish I could convince you to send them love. That is what they need. That is what we all need. Not fear, not hatred, not resentment, that their skin might be brown. Their children love as yours do, I tell you.

So dear ones can't we just, in a sense, symbolically join hands across the globe. I tell you it is the way of the Christ. And if ye be Christians, and if ye be Buddhists, and if ye be Jews, and if you be any religion, Muslims, Hindus, any, all religions include love. And that is its cornerstone. And if you forgot it, then it's my pleasure and privilege to remind you.

So dear ones, what I've got to tell you is this--each and every one of you can certainly makes a very large, large difference. Yea. It was my holy privilege to watch when the very elegant, eloquent, and celebrated Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. did speak one time through the medium, this one through whom I am now speaking. Only once he spoke. Oh, but powerful it was! And what did he say? He was speaking to what he referred to as his people, and that certainly was not limited to people of the African American persuasion or body. He meant everybody who believed in freedom and opposed racism, bigotry and that which seeks to dominate the human spirit for which he lived and for which he died.

And he said, "Oh my people." He said, "I see some of you cowering. I see some of you crying. I see some of you feeling poor because your pockets are empty." He says, "But you are not too poor that you can't pray. And you're not so poor that you can't send thoughts of love to the world and heal it. And as such you are rich, every one of you." And oh my, all of us were moved. Is it not the truth?

So you see, it is that same message in my own humble way I should want to share with you this eve, that each and every one of you is a dynamo creation. Look into your lives. Look what you've created since you were little toddlers. You created your own birth for one thing. It wasn't your parents. It was you. (Sir Arthur laughs) You created the houses that you were born into. You created your education. You created your ability to, well, survive this far anyway. No small feat. (All laugh) And you're still doing it, aren't you? Look at you sitting about. I don't know that I see anyone here in terribly dire straits. Oh, I know a few of you say, "Oh, but what about me? " (He laughs) Oh dear ones, again the words of Dr. King ring out. You're not that poor.

So what I am getting at is that, why, what I've got here in this room is an army. Each and every one of you has got a firearm in your hearts and in your minds. But it isn't one that fires bullets, but it fires love, kisses. Fire! Fire at will! (He and we all laugh) Take good aim now, not at me. Fire at will! (We all laugh)

What I'm telling you is this. And yea, there are so-called dark forces. What are these? They are souls who for the longest time, and we can't understand why, life after life, have insisted that the best way to get anything done is by cheating, stealing, murdering, you know the lot, foolish in the extreme. Perhaps it's that there's so much that's been, until thus far, there's been such a time lapse between cause and effect. You know they murder this person, and then nothing seems to happen to them for a while. They think they got away with it. "Well, let's do it again." And somehow they've been hoodwinked into thinking that you can get away with murder. Not so.

So what I am saying to you is that there are those forces, and they be upon this planet still unfortunately, who labor under that heavy yoke of, well, I must call it cosmic ignorance, but some would call it stupidity. They think they can get things done the hard way, which is by the underhanded method, not by love, but by might makes right, all of that. And these are the ones that are attempting, and they're up to their old ways, which are so tired at this point, don't you think? Boring! Passé! They're still trying to do things of that genre. It's not working is it? It's not working.

And yet they've got just enough of that power, just enough of their influence, and have so duped younger souls who are hungry for power into thinking that if they only do things that way they'll have it, and they temporarily seem to get it, that they've got a little bit of a retinue following them. Unfortunately may of these just happen to be a lot of the world leaders. That's the problem. (He laughs)

So what have you got? You've got a bunch of adolescents, (everyone laughs) arguing, you know, threatening to push buttons. Threatening one another while everyone else is going, "Please, there's a peaceful way to do it." (Everyone laughs) Would that they could see it like the rest of us?

So what are we saying? That, in that temporarily it appears as if your hands are tied only because you've got not the political power to say, "Stop that!" Oh, it appears that way. You might feel rather helpless, "Oh, my God! What shall occur next? What shall I find in tomorrow's headline?" I say, "Don't wait." I say, "You decide." Yes, you decide it, my dears. For every one and any one that is incarnate upon the physical plane at this time is the authority for that plane. That is cosmic law.

We who have been where you are and per chance shall be there again, are not any longer deputized or authorized to do very much at all, unless you invite us of course. (He laughs) And if so, we shall be very happy to join you. Get it? Hint? (He laughs and we all laugh) You've got helpers. You've got an army. Would that you could see us. Why right now to my sight, those of you incarnate, those of you in physical bodies, appear to be, in comparison, like a small little basket underneath a huge balloon. That balloon would represent the rest of us here you can't see physically.

Oh, there are a lot of us here. All of your loved ones, they're quite around you. Can't you feel them? Your guardian angels, your guides, your loved ones, your parents, your brethren, your children. Don't think that at times like these we would abandon you or that we'd rather be up here strumming a harp or some nonsense like that. (Everyone laughs) Hardly! I don't know that I've ever seen a harp really. (He laughs heartily) Hmmm, I'll have to look that one up.

But now to proceed. It's not over. You know that. Not over. There is what they call the backlash of the dragon's tail. You stab it with your sword, Excalibur. It appears to be dead. And just when you are ready to make merry, WHACK! Here comes the tail, around the back to take you down with it. That is what you are experiencing. Do you know that? The sword of truth has already pierced the heart of darkness. You are all enlightened to the degree that you are. And for that reason, for that very reason, it's over, at least the major conflict. It is! But I'll tell you what, it's not completed. There's the clean up to do. And that's what you are dealing with.

So what can you do? Let's roll our sleeves up and get on with this thing. You can begin every single day of your sweet lives with a prayer on your lips. If you don't like the word prayer, how about an invitation? How's that? Does that suit you? Some say, "I don't like to pray. You know I've prayed and God didn't hear me. Didn't give me what I wanted. Don't pray anymore." (He and some of the audience laughs)

I understand, dear ones, I understand. But I also know this, that Cosmic Law states that the call compels the answer. Indeed! So when you invoke, when you ask, when you pray, there must come some response from heaven. That is the Law. I once heard someone say, "Well, God doesn't always come when you call, but He always comes on time." I like that.
