"Understand, then, that in sorting
out human history and the history of the lifewaves who have
migrated to this soil, one must perceive the causes and
name them and call for their binding, and then the effects
will disappear as easily as one erases a chalkboard.
" . . . I speak of the powers of control.
I speak of age-old conspiracies at inner levels and on the
astral plane so that, try as they may, men and women of
goodwill have not been able to bring in an age of peace
and freedom and enlightenment for all. God knows, so many
have tried, so many have prayed for it, so many have determined
and have given their lives—far in excess numerically
of those evildoers who have stopped the course of the onward
movement, the spiraling of the Central Sun, from physically
manifesting.
"Let us look, then, to causes—causes
of war. These concern me. For civilization may hold together
imperfectly for many centuries, but world war and world
holocaust can set back the planetary body, cutting off the
right arm, the right leg, destroying genes and so forth,
so that the morrow does not bring the new dawn of opportunity.
Let us examine, then, causes of war most recent in this
hemisphere in Central America, in Afghanistan, war that
parades across the planet—causes of war in Vietnam,
in Korea, in World War II, World War I."

1 And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves
together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the
last days.
2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and
hearken unto Israel your father.
3 Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of
my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of
power:
4 Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest
up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to
my couch.
5 Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in
their habitations.
6 O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly,
mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew
a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.
7 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for
it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in
Israel.
8 Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand
shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall
bow down before thee.
9 Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone
up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion;
who shall rouse him up?
10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from
between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering
of the people be.
11 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the
choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in
the blood of grapes:
12 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
13 Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be
for an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.
14 Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:
15 And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant;
and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.
16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
17 Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that
biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
18 I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
19 Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the
last.
20 Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal
dainties.
21 Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well;
whose branches run over the wall:
23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated
him:
24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were
made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence
is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
25 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by
the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above,
blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts,
and of the womb:
26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings
of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills:
they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head
of him that was separate from his brethren.
27 Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour
the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that
their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according
to his blessing he blessed them.
