Patience In A Troubled World

Patience Sorely Needed in a Troubled World


By Byron LeBeau


If you are a conspiracy researcher, the word “patience” is probably the best quality you could have while ferreting through the obfuscations of today’s so-called leaders.

While it is true that certain terrible people have somehow ostensibly avoided the scales of true justice, such as those responsible for the assassination of JFK, or those who were the true culprits of both the OKLAHOMA BOMBING & 9/11 where either scapegoats or mythical terrorists have been so blamed, it should not affect those who are intent at getting to the bottom of things. GOD WILL NOT BE MOCKED, regardless! A few comments on this are in order.

If you believe in reincarnation, as I firmly do, there is inferential evidence to suggest that the best thing we can do when we come face to face with the evil that surrounds us – is - to approach that evil as one would approach an ignorant (albeit arrogant) child: tender it with patience and love, and pray for its conversion to the GOOD…since even you & I may surely have been once in that very same boat, and our own collective culpability may have yet to be fully reconciled. Yet is this an excuse, a rationalization for not taking action against very nefarious people who – for all the world can see – are guilty of the most heinous crimes, including the cold and calculating deaths of our elected leaders, as well as the cold and calculating deaths of innocent men, women and children, and all for the cause of feathering their own greedy and lustful nests?!?

The answer, as in most weighty cases, must be looked upon from a higher vantage point, if - if we are not to become ironically unhinged ourselves in our very cry for JUSTICE!

“Vengeance is mine!” sayeth the Lord.

Gina Cerminara pointed out things like the above, as well as the attitude of Jesus, in her remarkable book first published in 1950 called, MANY MANSIONS, the EDGAR CAYCE STORY on REINCARNATION. On page 221 she reminded us about the attitude of Jesus, who dedicated his career to teaching and healing; he exemplified the conviction that no matter what a man’s sins may be, one should stretch out a helping hand in his (her) direction, which put an exclamation point on the dynamic of love & service, which were the keynotes of Christ’s teachings. I cite from the same page another key component that Gina (having a Ph.D in psychology) elaborates on:

“Another aspect of this subtle matter is the important fact that man’s will is free and that all of history is not predetermined in minute detail in the fatalistic sense. Our effort to help an afflicted person, then – whether his affliction is physical, economic, social, or psychological – is not only an experience which we need personally in order to perfect ourselves in the virtue of love; it is also an experience which may succeed in altering the other’s mental outlook, his consciousness, and thereby the course of his life.

I believe that these are very profound words, that if we reflected upon them, would have us “remember” – perhaps – how we ourselves may have well taken part in the same tyrannical episodes as those who may be still doing it today; cf. my article posted on THE UNIVERSAL SEDUCTION website, “Atlanteans & Leaders of Today” located in the “BOOK REVIEW” section. If reincarnation is to be taken seriously (as Gina Cerminara has cited of the Edgar Cayce readings in the above-mentioned book, then we all have to look to ourselves before we start ripping the mask off of other culprits at the present time. [Jesus said this best when he said, Take out the bolt in thy own eye before you extract the splinter from thy brother’s eye.]

“The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings.”
Shakespeare, Julius Caesar, 1,2.

So, it seems, we must look to that inner core to find out who we really are before we get upset and angry and perhaps unbalanced ~ as we search to find fault as to what others still are. It is there (within) that you will find the answers, and if it is done properly, there you will find your peace & patience to endure all things.

Now does this mean that we become pacifists – or that we should just look the other way when someone is not acting in harmony with the Divine will? BY NO MEANS!
Again, I cite what Gina had mentioned in this very same MANY MANSIONS book (p.234.)


“Patience is not passive or negative; it is a constructive thing, a positive, activating force. For if one smite you on the cheek, did he say withdraw? No! Rather, turn the other cheek! Be active in your patience; be active in your relationships with your fellow man.”


Surely patience is sorely needed in today’s world; with patience, it brings inner peace so that we can better deal with our still fallen brothers and sisters who have neither learned patience nor charity nor forgiveness – yet! Yet, that does not mean that they won’t! Will you help them is their sore distress? Many ages may needs roll by before the task of perfection is completed…but it will be completed, just as justice grinds ever so slowly, but ever so fine!

WHAT ABOUT JUSTICE?

You have heard the old expression, Do not take the law into your own hands! [?] There is a reason for this expression, and a reason that abides by the laws of reincarnation as well. To protect society, we have law makers, who have been bestowed by the power of its people, to administer justice – in a detached manner – where no vindictiveness can be objectively charged to those who execute the will of the people. The only sin, if there is one, is one who takes joy in seeing his brother or sister undergo torment or death; these kinds are not fully detached, and depending on the severity of their lust to see others suffer – they too must suffer accordingly. NEVER LET THIS BE YOUR ATTITUDE…BUT RATHER…be so detached from another’s just punishment, that all you can think of is to pray for such a one who has so fallen from a state of grace. Even Jesus punctuated this point at his own crucifixion!

Be patient, and leave the results of our positive endeavors to God, and God alone!
