HARVEST CLASS 1995
Padma Sambhava
A Cornucopia of Ascended Masters’ Teachings
The Call Compels the Answer
1
God Is Just: All Will Receive Their Just Reward
I receive you unto my heart, beloved.
I receive you in the innermost chamber of the heart.
Know that it is the Lord of the World, Gautama Buddha, who does keep the vigil of the threefold flame in the secret chamber of your heart. As you retire, then, to that chamber for meditation and prayer, remember to give obeisance to the beloved Gautama Buddha. He is the sponsor of worlds untold and of our service to all life on planet earth.
I represent Gautama Buddha to you, beloved, for I am the Lotus-Born One who stepped forth in the lineage of the Buddhas to found Tibetan Buddhism in the eighth century. <1>And I also represent Jesus Christ to you, for I give you the initiations of your Christhood.
Do you think it odd that an Eastern Guru should teach you, a Western chela, the path of Jesus Christ? I, for one, do not. For, you see, through your training and initiations under me, I bring you along on the path of chelaship to the place where it would be unthinkable for you, under any circumstances, to be an offense to your Lord. <2>
You have been tested again and again under the most trying circumstances and you have passed your tests. What’s more, by your own initiative in the pursuit of your self-mastery over the five poisons and your internalization of the golden threads of the five wisdoms, <3>you are actively conquering self. And therefore, by your free will you have predetermined that you will not offend the Holy One of God.
I come to strip you of your rough edges, to pummel you and to bring you to the very center of the sweetness of the Buddhic flame. So, beloved, keep on the way of the gentleness and the compassion of the Buddhas, and when you shall have concluded this course, you will walk and talk with the Master Jesus. He will take you to his Sacred Heart and exalt you in the very center of being.
Jesus said to his disciples, “Why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?” <4> Let his disciples of today know that many continue to cry, “Lord, Lord,” professing to love him, to know him and to be a Christian, but their actions belie their words.
Beloved, there is more to the discipline of being a Christian than crying, “Lord, Lord.” You must be able to continually keep the flame of your emergent Christhood and to live according to God’s will. As Jesus said:
Not every one that saith unto me, “Lord, Lord,” shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in [the] day [of judgment], “Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?”
And then will I profess unto them, “I never knew you. Depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” <5>
Now, I ask you to call to me that you might be made whole at all levels of your being so that in that wholeness you might sit at your Lord’s feet and neither offend him nor be offended in him. <6>
And I remind you of your vow to the Lord Jesus Christ and to your Holy Christ Self to tend and balance the threefold flame of Life that pulsates as the unfed flame on the altar of your heart. In order for you to keep this vow, you must bring the three plumes–the blue, yellow and pink–into balance while remaining God-centered in the white fire core that is the foundation of the threefold flame.
Then, when you have steadfastly mastered the technique of tending and balancing the threefold flame in your own temple, you may volunteer to assist all who love the Lord their God to tend and balance their threefold flames until they are able to tend and keep them for themselves.
Mirror in Your Heart the Rays of Helios and Vesta
This evening I would speak to you of magnifying the Infinite One even as you pursue wholeness within yourself. I suggest that you conquer the land as you conquer self, hiking in these hills, ascending Maitreya Mountain and Electric Peak and other mountains that challenge you.
As you go, I bid you take a mirror in hand and turn it toward the sun of this solar system, ensouled by Helios and Vesta. Receive the rays hitting the mirror and reflect them back to the sun as you send the fire of your heart to Helios and Vesta by intonation of the Word, by mantra.
Know that the rays of the sun reflected in the mirror come to you directly from the heart of Helios and Vesta. Now take the mirror and, by your focus on the Mind of God within you, direct the needlelike rays it has captured from the heart of the sun into the cause and core of cesspools of darkness in the earth.
When you receive the rays from the center of this solar system, you can also direct them into infinity and contemplate the following as you do: There is potentially no ending to that reflection. Likewise, there is no ending to the patterns of your thought waves, for of a truth they reach other systems of worlds and the farthest stars through the antahkarana of the Mind of God, which creates the tie that binds all sons and daughters of God with one another.
Infinity moves on. And you, too, may move on with it as you recognize that God’s infinite rays of light are a part of you. For all rays and all sons and daughters of God hail from the one Source.
As many Scouts know, the light of the sun, when focused through a magnifying glass or reflected in a concave mirror, can be used to ignite a campfire. So let the light of your I AM Presence reflected in the mirror of your soul ignite the sacred fire of your heart. For all of you could use a greater fire of the heart!
Just so, you can hang a mirror around your neck at the level of the heart and face it toward the Chart of Your Divine Self, knowing that as you offer your devotions to God, your Mighty I AM Presence beams rays of love, wisdom and power right back to you! This is a reciprocal process that takes place between your soul and the sun of your soul. It is the dance not of the hours but of the moments occupied by sunbeams perpetually warming the chambers of the heart.
When you recite your decrees in the fervor of your heart’s love for God, mirroring in your heart the rays of Helios and Vesta, you send back to them, multiplied countless times over, the power of your decrees. Try this with the mantras you have been taught to give to the Father-Mother of this solar system, such as the following:
Mantra to Helios and Vesta
|
| Helios and Vesta! |
Salutation to the Sun of God
|
| O mighty Presence of God, I AM, |
It is also well to look at a mirror as the mirror of one’s soul and then to take a soul reading of oneself.
How does one look at one’s soul?
It takes practice, but it can be done. One looks first at the light of the eye and then at the gaze of one’s countenance. Then one must look beyond the flesh to the aura and to the seed of light that lights up one’s temple and one’s eternal being as it merges with the dimensionless cosmos.
Know yourself! Measure yourself as best you can so that when the angel of Revelation 11 comes to measure you, you will measure up to the standards of the angels called of God to measure the mankind of earth even as they measure the sons and daughters of God.
This initiation must come to all, as spoken of by John:
“And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, ‘Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and them that worship therein.’” <8>
As we enter the age of Aquarius, the measuring of souls is extended from those who worship in the temple to all of humanity. This measuring of the tribes of the earth is imminent. Therefore, let each one ready himself to give an accounting of his works before the Lords of Karma.
In preparation for this universal spiritual event that will not leave a single one untouched, Jesus admonished us in his Sermon on the Mount that we must look within and self-correct lest we judge another and in so doing bring God’s judgment upon ourselves:
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, “Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye,” and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye. <9>
And let us not omit Jesus’ succinct commandment:
“Judge not that ye be not judged!” <10>
Only by daily polishing the mirror of self can you see and cast out the beam in your own eye. This you must learn to do. The story is told of how Socrates would often wear a mirror around his neck. When his disciples would become angry at him, they would see their own reflection and be reminded that whatever they found fault with in their teacher was merely the reflection of their own attitude.
The Scottish poet Robert Burns once wrote: “Oh wad some power the giftie gie us to see oursels as ithers see us!” <*> Whether or not you have the gift to see yourself as others see you, know that you can and should engage in self-examination. The key is to do so without entertaining one shred of self-condemnation or self-judgment. Know this, beloved.
Create an Arc of Light between You and Your Sun Parents
You can empower yourself by mirroring God within your soul. Entering into the path of bhakti yoga, the path of personal devotion to the Guru, is one way to do this. As you give your devotions, bow to your Gurus as they appear before you in your mind’s eye and spare not your undying gratitude to Helios and Vesta and to the God and Goddess Meru for sponsoring your lifestream on the path of the Sun.
Let this practice, which makes perfect, be for you the extending of the light of your heart in a filigree thread that makes a direct line from your heart to the heart of Helios and Vesta. Follow this line of your heart, visualize it, meditate on it and realize that you can know the moment when you have made contact with the heart of Helios and Vesta.
Be aware of that moment and of the pulsation of the ray from your heart as it returns to you, charged with the love of your Father-Mother God. Now guard the flow and keep the filigree thread intact so that the currents of the sun may continue to flow to you.
Do not go a day without engaging in this interchange whereby you give yourself to Helios and Vesta and they give themselves to you on the return current of their love. In a sense, you become Helios and Vesta and they become you. This is a cosmic interchange of energies between God and man. It follows the pattern of the figure eight, whereby at the nexus you enter infinity.
When you achieve this oneness with Helios and Vesta and you sustain it by reciting their mantras and singing to the Great Central Sun, <11> you will live within the corona of the sun, as it were, here below. You will feel the momentum of the corona building and you will perceive that there is an arc of light between you and your Sun Parents so powerful that you may never again be disconnected from Helios and Vesta unless you willfully disconnect yourself. But you must call upon God Harmony, who, together with Serapis Bey, keeps the flame of Harmony on the six o’clock line of your Cosmic Clock, that you might maintain harmony in your relationship to Helios and Vesta.
As you send love missiles from your heart to Helios and Vesta, there is a strengthening of the bond between you and them–a tightening. There is a securing of your oneness with the Father-Mother Light of this solar system until you discover (after weeks and sometimes months and years of maintaining this ritual) that God multiplies his Light magnificently in you through the very spiritual/physical rays of the sun and that you, in turn, multiply the presence of Helios and Vesta about you here below.
The Nations Are Angry!
Let us, then, move on in this hour to the subject of the nations. The nations are angry! The people are angry! They are angry over nothing and everything, beloved. They are angry over the deaths in Bosnia and Croatia. They are angry one with another–Eastern Orthodox Serbs, Roman Catholic Croats and Bosnian Muslims. <12>
Know that anger is fueled from subterranean levels of the psyche deep within the unconscious mind. And when people conclude that there is a righteous cause that justifies anger, they allow their anger to ignite anytime, anywhere.
The strife and the division within the Balkans will not stop, beloved, unless you, the Keepers of the Flame, stop it. And the principal weapon we have given you to accomplish this feat–and indeed it will be a feat if you succeed–is the decree for the binding of the dweller-on-the-threshold.
If you really want to make a difference in the situation in the Balkans, give the call for the binding of the dweller-on-the-threshold of the warring factions and especially of the political and military leaders who continue to prolong the war.
Anger must be consumed! And the source of anger in the momentum of Martian energies <13> must be consumed with its cause and core. The people are not up to the challenge, beloved. They would rather vent their anger than control it or consume it with calls to the sacred fire offered in the name of their Mighty I AM Presence. For the most part, they do not have the spiritual path that you have; yet many seek this path, knowing not what they seek.
When you open your heart to Helios and Vesta, you open your heart to every Lightbearer on earth, which, in turn, will help them to find this path. So do this, beloved.
The tribes of the earth are indeed angry. There is anger everywhere. Study it nation by nation. See the burdens of Japan. See the burdens guru Shoko Asahara and his group, Aum Shinrikyo, have put upon that nation in their attempts to get even with the system and with society. See the burdens they have put upon the people in their nerve-gas attacks in the subway cars of Tokyo. <14> They have formed a strange cult, bowing to Buddha yet having no heart for his children.
How people fool themselves into believing that they are on a spiritual path! Some who are of the dark side do not even admit to themselves that they are of the dark side. And their leaders continue to tell them that they are serving a good cause and that for the sake of this good cause they may commit the crime of murder. But the ends do not justify the means.
Let There Be an Understanding of Justice
Crimes are being committed all over the world in the name of justice. People want justice, and yet they do not understand how justice is meted out.
Justice is meted out portion by portion by the beloved Lady Master Portia, together with Saint Germain. Often it is meted out only through the violet flame, as mercy’s resolution of the injustices of the world. For the victims of injustice have no other recourse but the violet flame.
Let there be an understanding of justice and the true and righteous judgments of the Lord, beloved. We judge not. Every man is his own judge, for when he sees the record of his lifestream, he cannot deny his own injustices. The Holy Christ Self of each one sits in the seat of judgment as the advocate of the soul; yet it is the soul who stands before the bar, i.e., before the Lords of Karma. And in conjunction with their verdict, she herself declares the rightness or wrongness of her cause.
Remember the words of the apostle Paul: “God is not mocked. For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” <15> Trust in Divine Justice and be not dismayed before the passing scenes of injustice! injustice! injustice! For you shall see far worse acts of injustice in the earth in the coming months and years for you to be dismayed about, beloved. Let the balm of Gilead heal the divisions within the psyche of all.
I, Padma Sambhava, have come with healing. I come with healing but especially do I come for the healing of souls. This can go only so far. In order for the complete healing of nations and peoples to take place and for those of varying ethnic backgrounds to accept one another as brethren, there must be something more. And that something more must be illumination–Cosmic Christ illumination!
Illumination is the call of the Masters, the call they sent forth from the Heart of the Inner Retreat this summer. Without illumination there shall be darkness and backbiting and killing and murder, and injustices shall be heaped upon injustices.
Do not be concerned about the events of recent days, beloved–specifically the verdict reached by the jury in the O. J. Simpson trial <16> and the events following. Be concerned, rather, that you do not defile the living Christ in anyone, that you do not defile that Christ within yourself. Come to the point of Christ-centeredness in the heart and know that there is no true resolution but the resolution of the heart that is one with the heart of God.
The jury may think they have resolved matters because of certain evidence or lack of certain evidence. But can the courts of the world mete out Divine Justice?
I tell you nay! Divine Justice shall come forth in its time and in its season. In the meantime, you must bring to all people understanding in place of misunderstanding. You must bring to them enlightenment and a profound love. There is nothing else you can do, beloved, for the jury has spoken.
Attempts have been made–and will continue to be made–to fracture the nation. The crack in the Liberty Bell was a prophecy of these fractures. You can bind up the brokenhearted, and therefore you must bind up the brokenhearted. But, above all, you must leave Divine Justice to God.
I ask you to set a standard for yourself this weekend whereby you determine to take a stand for Life, for Light, for Truth, for Justice, for Mercy. Call for the violet flame to consume the cause, effect, record and memory of the scenes of the O. J. Simpson trial, which have been engraved upon the minds of the people. And remember, for the most part, it is only when a man or a woman stands trial before the Lords of Karma that he or she receives a sentence that is unqualifiedly just.
Is there true justice in the earth, beloved?
Indeed there is, but it is sparse. For if people do not carry the flame of justice in their hearts, how can they apply the rules of justice in their courts, in their judicial systems, in their daily lives, in their governments, in their households?
It is up to the father and the mother to set the example for the child of what is justice and what is mercy, what is correct and what is incorrect as a standard of moral conduct. When parents do this, they will open the way for all people to be enlightened. Let them come to an awareness that there is an everlasting life and that karma descends not according to man’s time or the judgments of juries but according to God’s time and God’s judgments–God’s time and God’s judgments, beloved.
Rise above the O. J. Simpson Trial!
Now rise above all that has transpired over the last nine months, for you must! For the Lords of Karma are counting on you, one and all–new students of today and yesterday and students of a thousand years. Recognize that you must saturate America with the violet flame and that enlightenment must come to all her people. For true brotherhood must return lest the breach between races and peoples become so great that they can no longer understand one another even though they speak the same language.
I urge you, then, to call for the violet flame to consume your reaction to the verdict in the O. J. Simpson trial, whether it be positive or negative. Once again, I ask you to rise above the human dilemma of “right” and “wrong.”
For this night legions of angels will escort you and the spiritually enlightened people of this planet to the Halls of Justice at the Royal Teton Retreat, where the Lords of Karma are in session. There you will be shown the urgent necessity for the world’s religions—especially Christianity, Judaism and Islam—to incorporate the doctrines of karma and reincarnation into their theology. Without the knowledge of these two doctrines, the people are minus the foundational pillars of the temple.
When you have an understanding of karma, beloved, you can truly be at peace in any circumstance and say: “I know not what is the karma of the players in this drama. I know only that God is just and that there is no injustice anywhere in the universe. And yet justice is meted out in justice’s time.” And this is the resolution that all must come to.
Those who recognize the law of karma and reincarnation can find solace in the ultimate justice of God, no matter what they think of the verdict in the O. J. Simpson trial. Do you see, beloved? If we trust in God and understand that ultimately there is no injustice anywhere in the universe, we then must accept that justice will be meted out on behalf of all players in this dreadful scene, this dreadful scene.
So then, beloved, if we believe that God is just and God is merciful, and we do, then it is up to us to preach his justice and his mercy to the nations, as we have called upon you to do. There is no reason for people to be angry against God. For our God is a just God and all will receive their just reward.
If you set the example, millions of people on earth, subconsciously reading your auras as you gather on the mountain for this retreat, will say: “The elect of God have understood. They have cast the cause, effect, record and memory of this entire trial into the violet flame. Therefore, we shall also be liberated. We shall also enter into his gates with thanksgiving. <17> And we shall know our God as the elect know him. And we shall be humble and we shall accept his righteous judgments.”
Ignite the Violet Flame for the
Balancing of the Karma of This Year
Beloved, if from now through the first of January, you set an example that all might follow, igniting the violet flame for the balancing of the remaining karma of 1995, you will render an unparalleled service on behalf of millions of people who are greatly burdened by the increasing weight of karma that descends upon them year upon year.
Some seem not to notice that their burden gets heavier day by day and year by year. Others note it well. Some have had such heavy karmic burdens that they have passed from the screen of life by the very weight of a karma that they knew not how to transmute because they did not know of the science of transmutation by the violet flame.
I think that many of you remember that the first day of the year 1995 was a heavy day–heavy for the weight of world karma that descended. The Messenger remembers it well and has noted that the entire year has followed suit–often only because Keepers of the Flame around the world have not made it their duty to transmute by fierce violet-flame decrees the day-to-day burdens of the karma of the planet but have allowed them to pile up.
Blessed ones, therefore I tell you, if you who are the elect of God will elect to give violet-flame decrees as often as you can and will make it a priority over other activities, you will see that the karma of this year will be consumed. And if you and many others will work even harder with your violet-flame decrees, you can, in addition, transmute the unbalanced karma of previous years.
I tell you, this is the easy way. If you do not espouse it as I have suggested, you will find a greater heaviness descending upon you on the first of the year 1996 than descended upon you on the first of the year 1995.
When an avalanche descends, it is too late to clean it up! Those who know the will of God and his law understand that they can turn the avalanche back, driving it up the mountain and transmuting it before it covers the villages below.
See this, beloved. There is a time when energies are in flux and when you who understand alchemy can apply Saint Germain’s nine steps of precipitation <18> and avert much disaster and much darkness in the earth. The Great White Brotherhood is counting on the souls who have reincarnated for thousands of years and who know well what they must do in this hour to effect world transmutation, for they have seen it all again and again.
Yes, the Lords of Karma are counting on you, beloved. For if you, the fiery-hearted ones, do not intercede on behalf of the children of earth, then the karma will continue to mount in mountains of debris and effluvia, and the strife and division in the Balkans will continue. And the street gangs, led by both boys and girls, will become more violent. For the youths who have joined them have been disenfranchised. They have not been taught as they ought to have been. They do not have the skills to earn a day’s wage. They do not even know how to read or write, having been pushed through the system, never having been God-taught.
Do Not Think That Montana Is Spared Social Unrest
Things will get worse, beloved! I tell you, do not be so naive as to think that social unrest will just go away or that more gangs will not spring up in Montana and elsewhere. Blessed ones, do not think that anyone is spared. Have not teens and others already desecrated your shrine of Saint Anthony and descecrated your land with hate signs, <19> having had religious bigotry taught to them by their parents against the Church and against a way of life?
Have some of you not been physically threatened and even shot at? Have you not received bomb threats, obscene phone calls and hate mail? Have you not had a cross burned on your property?
No, these things are not coming to Montana–they are already here! You have heard of the persecution of the Jews in Billings. <20> Such hatred has affected many towns and cities in this state and will only mushroom without the intercession of all of you and the many whom you will teach how to give the judgment calls and the decree for the binding of the dweller-on-the-threshold.
That dweller-on-the-threshold is loose and running wild in many, many souls of young people across America. And you have heard of those who, if they are not godless, are about to lose their God-flame. For want of spiritual teachers! Yes, for want of spiritual teachers! And the nations of the earth are appalled at what is going on in this country.
Be Watchmen on the Wall of the Nation:
You Individually Will Make the Difference
Therefore, beloved, in closing, I ask you to be watchmen on the wall of the nation and to recognize that certain harmful activities must be stopped.
Be mindful! Be mindful! You who deal directly with teens and those children who are not able to make it through high school (for they do not have the skills to move on in dignity), I ask you to enter the mainstream of America and restore this nation to the place where the capstone of the pyramid may once again raise up the American civilization and especially the children.
I commend you for your service. I ask you to accelerate and not forget, not forget, beloved, that it is you individually, through your I AM Presence, who will make the difference as to whether or not the people of this nation will come together at a new level, self-transcending, moving into an etherealization of consciousness whereby they might bring heaven to earth. This is your calling. This is your job.
I bow to the Light within you and I ask you to pray without ceasing for the souls of Tibetans slaughtered by Chinese Communists in the Tibetan holocaust. <21>
In the name Jesus Christ, I seal you.

The five-day conference Padma Sambhava: The Call Compels the Answer was held October 5 through 9, 1995, at the Royal Teton Ranch, Park County, Montana. The opening dictation, by Padma Sambhava, was delivered by the Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, on Friday, October 6, 1995. Before the dictation, the Messenger read Luke 11:37-12:15 (Jesus’ denunciation of the Pharisees and lawyers) and Luke 12:16-32 (the parable of the rich fool). “Gat in Jhap Taal and Teen Taal” from Raga Gorakh Kalyan was played as the meditation music in preparation for the dictation. The Messenger’s reading and Padma Sambhava’s dictation are available on audiocassette along with the dictation by Lanello, which followed: 2 cassettes, total 2 hr. 40 min., $14.95 plus $2.50 postage and handling, A95091P.

12. Update on Bosnia. In July 1995, Serb forces in Bosnia seized two United Nations “safe areas,” Srebrenica and Zepa. They intensified their seige of a third, Bihac, and attacked towns in northwestern Bosnia and Croatia. The Serbs expelled tens of thousands of Muslim women, children and old men and massacred or held captive many thousands of fighting-age Muslim men. Croats and Muslims then joined forces in northwestern Bosnia to liberate Bihac and seized a number of Bosnian towns from Serb control. Croat troops also reclaimed the Krajina region. They sent 150,000 Serbs fleeing and committed their share of atrocities. In October 1995, Muslims, Croats and Serbs agreed to a cease-fire and on November 1, peace talks began in Dayton, Ohio. On November 4, 1995, CNN News reported: “An independent research group says the United States could have prevented the Serb takeover of the Bosnian ‘safe haven’ of Srebrenica. The British-American Security Information Council says U.S. intelligence agencies intercepted Bosnian Serb military communications about the July attack but did not notify NATO or the United Nations....The group says the U.S. took no action because it didn’t want to jeopardize peace initiatives. The State Department is refusing comment.”

14. Shoko Asahara, leader of the Japanese religious cult Aum Shinrikyo, or Supreme Truth, has been charged with murder and with masterminding the March 20, 1995 nerve-gas attack on several Tokyo subway cars that killed 12 and made 5,500 ill. One hundred and sixty-two of Asahara’s followers have also been charged in the case.
15. Gal. 6:7.
16. On October 3, 1995, at the conclusion of a highly publicized nine-month trial, sports star Orenthal James Simpson was acquitted of two counts of murder. Simpson had been tried for the June 12, 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson, his former wife, and her friend Ronald Goldman.

18. Nine steps to precipitation. See Saint Germain On Alchemy, Book One, pp. 49-50, 57-58 ($ 6.99 plus $2.50 postage and handling, <#>1835P); and Elizabeth Clare Prophet, May 28, 1986, “Saint Germain On Alchemy,” available on both video- and audiocassette: 2 videocassettes, 3 hr. 38 min.

19. Hate signs, desecration of the shrine of Saint Anthony. Since Church Universal and Triumphant bought the Royal Teton Ranch in 1981, vandals have repeatedly defaced property belonging to the Church and its local members. Some incidents have been limited to anti-Church graffiti on signs, dumpsters and car bumpers. Others have involved the smashing of phone-connection boxes, windows and windshields. During the peak fire season in 1994, someone placed and set fire to a 10-foot-high cross just outside Church headquarters. A few individuals have physically threatened and even shot at Church members. (See “Signs of Hatred,” “The Wages of Hate” and “Mixed Messages,” in the April/May 1995 issue of the Royal Teton Ranch News; and “Man Pleads Guilty to Hate Crime,” in the August/September 1995 issue of the RTR News.) In August, a 14-year-old boy disfigured and carved anti-C.U.T. graffiti on a newly installed statue of Saint Anthony of Padua at a shrine located on property where several Church members live. Two days later the same boy set fire to the gazebo that houses the statue. (See “Dark Pilgrimage,” in the August/September 1995 issue of the RTR News.)
20. Wave of hateful acts directed against Jews in Billings, Montana. Periodically since 1992, fliers bearing anti-Semitic messages have been circulated in downtown Billings. For years, Jews in Billings have been harassed with derogatory phone calls, hostile notes and threats to their lives. Jewish homes and other properties have been defaced with graffiti and attacked with stones and gunfire. In December 1993, thousands of non-Jewish Billings residents took a united stand against anti-Semitism and were able to curb the escalating violence. (See Roger Rosenblatt, “Their Finest Minute,” in The New York Times Magazine, July 3, 1994; and Greg McCracken, “Hate Graffiti ‘an Insult to Community,’” in The Billings Gazette, October 29, 1994.)
21. Since the Communist Chinese invasion of Tibet in 1950, at least 1.2 million Tibetans have been killed or starved to death by the Chinese. See lectures by Elizabeth Clare Prophet, January 4, 1988, “The Abdication of America’s Destiny,” Part 2, in 1988 PoW, Book I, pp. 185-88; and July 5, 1989, “The Attack on the Sangha of the Buddha,” on two 90-min. audiocassettes, B89102-3, $15.00 plus $2.50 postage and handling.
