There is hardly a more noble circumstance in human events than when the spiritual superstructure of a nation or people truly does support the will of the downtrodden and oppressed of society by refusing to allow an unjust elite class to reign in a brutal and oppressive manner. Right now in Myanmar, formally known as Burma sections of the Buddhist monks caste have done just this: thrown their lot in entirely with the downtrodden populace. The monks are following the correct Dharma Law of supporting the aspirations of the popular masses over the evil and backwards elites who have enslaved society. Whenever this occurs it must be recognized as nothing less than a Miracle. At the same time we have to be careful not to over mysticize and specialize an event like this, because it is according to the Highest Wheel of Reality that spiritual leaders should seek Universal Justice for all of humanity in the mundane world. I call the act of the spiritual leadership defending the interests of regular people a miracle because organized religion has been used in conjunct with the state apparatus as a mechanism of control for a very long time now. This was never the intent of religious or spiritual movements and only takes place when statists use religion and spirituality to wrongly hold power against the overwhelming will of the people. Buddhism it seems has been one of the spiritual movements that have been the most resistant to co-optation by the state and serves as an admirable model for how the spiritual class should react to state endorsed violence, fundamentalist Christianity along with fundamentalist Islam would be examples of the opposite of Buddhism; religions which are controlled and used by wicked statists to further oppressive interests over general society. Early Christianity, before it was taken over by the Roman state was a Beacon of Light for change lead by Someone who was the embodiment of the Logos, Word of God, or Dharma. The Christ's movement was one of the weak and dispossessed. Jesus would be appalled by some of the positions taken today by some mainstream Christians who blindly support backwards and greedy world controllers who twist the Sacred Law he spoke 2000 years ago with their perverse Unlaw, or anti-Dharma. Jesus is a champion of all oppressed. He went amongst the lepers, pariahs and disfranchised and was himself a pariah. Yea, he should not be called "king of kings" but rather the Messiah of all Pariahs. It is hypocritical and wrong to call oneself a Christian and also state that in the eyes of God gays, lesbians, bisexuals, or transgendered people are hellbound or spiritually flawed in someway. Those people are some of the most economically, physically, culturally and spiritually oppressed sections of society the world over. Their existance is even denied in places like Iran where if they are found they are executed by a state that is following not the law of Dharma, but the Unlaw of Anti-Dharma. It is also wrong and irresponsible to call oneself a follower of Christ while at the same time accumulating massive quantities of wealthy that will never be used in a miserly fashion. If one has wealth one should use it, or at least a very significant portion of it to enhance society by solving social ills. The United States does not even have national health care, and many, many people who call themselves Christians are against having it (not to mention other progressive social programs): that is they are against universal health for the population. The health of the people should be a, if not the top priority of a society, as a Mother's top priority is the health of her baby. I thought it was a cliche, but it seems that we need to be reminded of the verse "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God" (Matthew 19:24). I pray to the Great Center of Gravity, the Eye of the Two Worlds, the Cog of the Highest Wheel, the Tao, Dharma or God that the tides are turning; the world over humanity cannot take much more of the economic, physical, cultural, emotional, and spiritual poison dished out on a daily basis by irresponsible world controllers and the evil spiritual beings, archons, asuras, or demons they are puppeteered by. The most important thing to always remember is summed up best by the apostle of Christ, Paul, in Ephesians 6:12, he wrote: "For we do not struggle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the high places". We battle not against flesh and blood but evil spiritual energies. Let us honor and pray for and meditate on the actions of the brave Buddhist monks in Myanmar and take them to heart.

"I pray for our spiritual brothers and sister around the world, who through their shining Beings represent the Sacred Aspirations and Obligations of all people who are spokes in the unceasing rotational of the Wheel of God. Through understanding and patience will a cosmic kingdom of the Supreme Dharma be reborn first in our hearts, then in reality. Highest Wheel, God, invest the monks with your ineffable Strength and Intelligence. Aum".
