MESSAGE FROM THE SPIRITUAL HIERARCHY

To the attention of all the nations and people of the whole world who are peace loving, truth-seeking and devotees of Divine-Spiritual Values

Jerusalem, 31st of March, 1962

We are unfortunately again constrained to bother you with the extraordinary case of the Universal Spiritual Ministers and members of the great Spiritual Hierarchy - the Illustrious Dr. Pr. OM Lind Schernrezig, Blanche Ledran, Marie Peurozet and Micheline Heraud - since we now realize that the world was informed too hastily about their release from the ominous communist regime of Cuba. Indeed, we regret deeply having spoken too fast, as these conspicuous chief officers of the UNIVERSAL RELIGIOUS ALLIANCE and the WORLD CONGRESS OF MAN (World-wide Permanent Parliament of all the Religions, Faiths, Fraternities and Philosophies) have been saved from further Martyrdom and serfdom, only to suffer an unutterable odyssey which reveals the extent of man’s cruelty toward man either in the name of God, Culture, Democracy or Civilization. Their lives were spared, true enough, but only because of the pressure exerted by the higher Powers and through the world-wide Prayer and Meditation chain (Mandala), and the intervention of the Spiritual Hierarchy as well as the United Nations, the Organization of American States, and hundreds of noteworthy religious, humanist, fraternal, spiritualist and philosophical organizations from all the parts of the world. Yet they continue to be victims of world injustice, strife and ruthlessness.

It is our painful duty to announce that our world-renowned scholars, educators and spiritual guides may be at long last free from the ignominious communist persecution and maltreatment, but not from other evils of modern materialist civilization. In fact, these great defenders of Human Rights who have also proved staunch peace-makers and devoted Servers of God, Spiritual Truth and Humanity were literally thrown out of Cuba, without visas and proper papers, whilst most of their funds and all their personal belongings were confiscated. They were fortunate, so to say, only saving their lives as well as the much coveted files of the Spiritual Sanctuaries and the Great Universal Brotherhood-Commonwealth of Man which integrate the World Living History-Museum of Man. The gist of the question here is that these staunch educators and peace-makers represent, in fact, an exceptionally good example of moral integrity and spiritual dignity, having upheld Human Rights and the need of intelligent as well as peaceful co-existence among the people of all nations, religions, cultural expressions and ideologies, as they held steadfastly to their chosen way of life and meant to prove that true Religion is not merely a specific form of faith or cult but, above all, an attitude toward life and a Spiritual Dynamics. They could have fled from the ominous totalitarian tyranny and serfdom of Cuba, like so many people in an ignominious exodus abandoning everything behind them and thinking only of saving their lives and their hoarded wealth. However, they preferred to face all the dangers of a revolutionary hell, with moral fortitude and spiritual grandeur, on their own ground, until human conscience throughout the world rushed to their defense and rescued them; in the meantime they commanded the world’s anti-spiritual and anti-human forces to respect and liberate them. They finally abandoned the Grand Spiritual Sanctuary (**), after two years of vain efforts, with the priceless archives of Spiritualdom, the only wealth that really matters in ultimate analysis and as far as Eternal Splendors go, because they condensate and represent Mankind’s moral and spiritual heritage.

The foundations for this Grand SPIRITUAL SANCTUARY OF ALL THE RELIGIONS were laid sixty-three years previously by Rev. Ernesto Betancourt, George E. Armstrong and the Ill. Albert Pike, and it was announced then as the “spiritual epicenter of the world, and the spring whence would issue forth the new age of spiritual renaissance”.  COMMUNISM destroyed a Spiritual Sanctuary, but it could never annihilate the truth that makes such institutions of human regeneration and Divine achievement possible. It also tortured the body and bruised the soul of Spiritual Missionaries, but it did not succeed in breaking the conscience and heart of those who so gallantly and decisively defied it in behalf of Human Rights, true world peace, and eternal spiritual values. Spiritual Sanctuaries like that which once existed in Cuba will soon arise in numerous Countries in addition to those which already exist, as indestructible bulwarks of Spiritualdom destined to prevent the triumph of devilish barbarianism and ignominious materialism.

The United Nations should be all the more interested in assisting these world-renowned scholars and religious leaders because they are also, since 1945, the custodians and responsible curators of the WORLD LIVING HISTORY MUSEUM OF MAN, which comprises important art collections, architectural and scientific studies as well as biological, anthropological, mystical, cosmological and philosophical research treatises compiled during over one whole century. It also comprises the archives of world-renowned ancient religious, humanist and cultural organizations which have their roots in prehistory and in now inexistent continents. As a matter of fact, these people have become connoted experts in this new field of activity, developing this unique History-Museum into an authentic anthology of the creative genius of Man presented in pictorial and symbolic forms, as well as a synthesis of museums while registering the entire gamut of the expanding human perspective covering all fields of experience from the primary aspects of intelligence to the most sublime realizations of Cosmic conscience and Divine or Spiritual attainment. There is also a momentous collection of egyptological art, which is undoubtedly the greatest one, outside Egypt, as well as the greatest accumulation of data on ancient civilizations and mythology, Central Asia, history, Tibetan culture, pre and post Vedic Transcendental or Integral Human Regeneration Yoga, sacred symbology of all the ages, Cosmobiology, comparative religion, history of cultures and civilizations, classified artistic expressions and modern scientific advancement covering the fields of electronics, nucleology, biogenetics, parapsychology and cosmo-communications which are entirely due to the tireless efforts of Dr. Lind and his sagacious collaborators.  It is these unique archives, in fact, that communist Cuba eagerly coveted and sought to confiscate, even at the price of murder and kidnapping. In fact, these illustrious savants were severely maltreated and almost sent to Russia via Prague by the lustful government of that ill-fated country. Were it alone in the name of Humanity and Culture, therefore, the United Nations and all the more respectable religious, humanist and educational organizations of the whole world should be interested in rescuing such noble benefactors for mankind from the problems which menace their existence and well-being, and also in promoting a real safeguard for the masterpieces of mankind which certainly deserve to be perpetuated.

The Ill. Spiritual guide of mankind and his colleagues are perhaps completely free from the clutches of communism, but they now face another tremendous problem. The Spiritual Sanctuary of Cuba was brutally destroyed and spoliated, because it represented and stood for the vital, inalienable natural and spiritual rights of Man and genuine democracy, which obviously include the freedom of Conscience, of belief in the sacredness of life, self-respect, and, last but not least, the right to either travel or reside in any country of one’s own choice. Now, however, these REFUGEES are in such an awkward position that they cannot find a suitable asylum in any country, not even in that of their birth or origin. They are EXILES and homeless in a world which ignores all religious tenets, moral injunctions and Spiritual values as much as communist tyranny does in Cuba and elsewhere.

A genuine modern SPIRITUAL RENAISSANCE as planned by the Spiritual Hierarchy, on the basis of the Divine law of Love and the Golden Rule, is at hand. Mankind is now on the brink of the utter disaster because too many people seek to impose their whims and selfish interests on the rest of mankind. It is well nigh time, however, that people learn to co-exist intelligently as well as peacefully and with dignity, as all have identical rights, and the sacredness of life includes the privilege of well-being, health, education, freedom, peace and happiness. None of these attributes of human dignity should, in fact, be either denied or limited to other living beings.

It is in this spirit, indeed, that all truly religious, fraternal, idealist, humanist, spiritualist and philosophical people are invited to meet their own needs and also to solve all their problems. Neither violence nor aggression or war solve problems or enlighten anybody. Only peace with love and freedom with dignity can really further a noble way of life which will inevitably fulfill the designs and tasks of all the religions, accomplish all humanitarian ideals, and lead to the true UNIVERSAL COMMUNION  and integral Brotherhood of Man.

The problems confronted by the Spiritual Missionaries referred here concern us deeply, particularly because they point to awe-inspiring aspects of the tragedy of mankind. Humanity is condemned to the weirdest and most monstrous consequences if the present course of extreme selfishness, violence, war, and villainous unreasonability is followed.

The UNITED NATIONS is therefore again approached, this time for the purpose of solving the harrowing problem of all people who are PERSECUTED either because of their race, their faith, or their nationality.

All religious, humanist, ethical, or idealist people and organizations should be interested in solving such problems as those confronted by the Universal Spiritual Missionaries referred to. In fact, religion and fraternalism as well as idealism must become really effective and develop new practical dimensions. They cannot rest merely on faith and promises; they must create a foundation as well as a suitable mien and environment that will become the means by which the law of consequences through the relationship of Causes and Effects (Karma) may blossom into splendorous reality. It is the moral duty and Spiritual obligation of all these organizations to exert pressure on the United Nations and all International Organisms until these realize that problems can no longer be either ignored or circumvented if the world is ever to enjoy the real peace and blessings of the genuine Brotherhood of Man.

The problem now confronted by our Ill. Brothers of the Great Spiritual Hierarchy is the problem of all pure-hearted and noble-minded people. Yet we must not lose sight of the fact that it demands an urgent solution in the name of HUMAN RIGHTS as well as in behalf of HUMAN CONSCIENCE, because what is contemplated here is an immediate solution to the entire Problem of Refugees. Just think of human destiny if either the Lord Christ, the Lord Maitreya, the Lord Shree Krishna, the Prophet Mohammed, or any other members of the great Spiritual Hierarchy happened to visit this world again and should be maltreated, maligned and persecuted such as Dr. Lind Schernrezig and his colleagues are, despite the fact that they are conspicuous benefactors to humanity and noble peacemakers. If the future of mankind and this planet is to be barren of true religion and authentic spirituality, of what good - we wonder - can life be? Or is life really worthwhile when people are forced to exist only like automatons or zombies, only to toil and produce in utter serfdom, with ominous regimentation as the acme of morality?

Those who are intelligent enough to sense the profound tragedy that is about to engulf all mankind may realize (become aware of) that the grand Spiritual Hierarchy is leading the way toward greater perspectives of life provoking at the same time the nobler consciousness that reveals the spiritual realm in its eternal splendors. They shall also know what to do, as all mankind is more in danger of the most terrible happenings because of warmongers, ruthless fanatics, brutal dictatorships and insane devotees of force and immorality. All earthly conventions and fetters, all sectarian limitations and selfish delusions should now be set aside, so as to defend the right of all human beings. Let us all pool assets and strength so as to ensure our rights to live with peace and dignity, and to enjoy freedom and righteousness.

The time has come for all sincere idealists, earnest lovers of truth and authentic spiritual people to UNITE morally and to work, worship and prosper together UNIVERSALLY.  In fact, there is no peace possible without freedom in righteousness, and no brotherhood of Man without mutual respect and friendly co-operation.

Equally obvious it is that nations in particular should also be interested in affording shelter and assistance to these Spiritual Missionaries, enabling them to establish a new grand Spiritual Sanctuary. This would certainly be a way to prove the affectivity of Human Rights, as well as to afford protection and a suitable setting for the archives of both the Universal Brotherhood-Commonwealth of Man and the World Congress of Man, which constitute the official record of Spiritualdom and also a Patrimony of humanity.

In the face of growing world problems and because truly religious people as well as sincere idealists, earnest spiritualists, well inspired humanists, and participants of multiple fraternal and philosophical organizations throughout this planet must suffer the consequences of ill--inspired statesmanship and untrustworthy leadership as well as the immoral designs of unscrupulous policy-makers and warmongers, it is only natural that the thinking portions and nobler spheres of mankind should feel greatly concerned about the future.

Truly enough, a New Age is ushering in. We are on the threshold of great scientific accomplishments. But the world is also on the brink of annihilating warfare, which is bound to prove suicidal to all those partaking in such designs of boundless strife and wholesale destruction. Those who court such sadistic designs and satanic conditions should be protected, of course, against their own insane propentions, but it might prove healthier for the rest of mankind if these warmongers and devotees of strife and violence could be outwitted, and prevented from being so monstrous.

Spiritual powers should be permitted, in fact, to take over the helm of world affairs. Moral forces should become effective, also, for all they are worth. Divine Teachings should be placed on a footing of practical dimensions and positive realizations.  It does seem preposterous, indeed, that Religions, Faiths, Fraternities, Spiritualist societies, and Philosophical organisms throughout the world should remain antagonistic toward each other, or at least unwilling to co-operate and with noble dedication or spiritual devotion toward the realization of their own most vaunted principles and ideals.

This planet or Earth belongs more or less equally to all of us who happen to dwell upon it. Therefore, it is equally the moral duty and spiritual obligation of all to prevent it from being blasted to ominous dust by BOMB-addicts and overly feverish megalomaniacs with strains of insanity and unrestricted superiority complexes.

We appeal to the outsiders and independents in spirit, to those who still enjoy a sound mind and really believe in Divine Love, and want to collaborate toward building a genuine World Peace and the Universal Brotherhood-Commonwealth of Man. Each one can continue to belong to his own race, nationality or culture as he prefers, or to abide by his faith and ideals as his heart demands or as his own conscience rules, but effectively collaborate in an endeavor of mutual respect, mutual assistance, mutual enlightenment, mutual protection, and mutual blessings. This is genuine Goodwill, unselfish Service and unconditional Humanitarian Understanding and Co-operation for all, above whatever sectarian partisanship or ideological discrimination.

Let us get together a joint plan and intelligent collaboration on the basis of genuine Divine Teachings, positive and creative consciousness, real Human Brotherhood and undivided Spiritual Communion.

Only those who exclude themselves are excluded.

This Spiritual Message of integral Love, perspective of righteousness and ultimate realization of wisdom reflects the essentials of Divine Teachings of all the Religions, as propounded by the Spiritual Guides (Chohans), sages and Prophets of all the ages. We behold here the eternal Life in the sense of genuine Universal Harmony - that is the real Religion which links and unites noble-minded and pure-hearted people and renders possible the bridge and co-operation (Yoga) between God and spiritually regenerated people.

Yours devotedly in the Living God, and in the unconditional Spiritual Communion of the Universal Brotherhood-Commonwealth of Peaceful and Free People.
