Americathe Land Born of God Desire


Gen. G. Washington said during the Revolution:
'We can't guarantee victory, but we can deserve it.'
"We have this day no less than 2,873 men in camp, unfit for duty because they are
barefooted and otherwise naked."—Gen. G. Washington at Valley Forge

"If every nerve is not straind to recruit the New Army with all possible Expedition
I think the game is pretty near up . . . No Man I believe ever had a greater choice
of difficulties and less the means of extricating himself than I have—However
under a full perswation of the justice of our Cause I cannot but think
the prospect will brighten."—Gen. G. Washington after successes of 1776
at Trenton and Princeton

"A character to lose—an estate to forfeit—the inestimable blessing of liberty
at stake—and a life devoted, must be my excuse . . . it was much easier
to draw up remonstrances in a comfortable room by a good fire-side,
than to occupy a cold bleak hill, and sleep under frost and snow,
without clothes or blankets."—Gen. G. Washington at Valley Forge

"Tomorrow being the day set apart by the Honorable Congress for public
Thanksgiving and Praise; and duty calling us devoutly to express our grateful
acknowledgements to God for the manifold blessings he has granted us,
the General directs that the army remain in its present quarters,
and that the Chaplains perform divine service with their several Corps
and Brigades. And earnestly exhorts, all officers and soldiers, whose absence
is not indispensably necessary, to attend with reverence the solemnities of the day."
—Gen. G. Washington at Valley Forge on 17 December

"This is Thanksgiving Day. God knows we have very little to keep it with,
this being the third day we have been without flour or bread,
and are living on a high, uncultivated hill, in huts and tents,
lying on the cold ground. Upon the whole I think all we have to be thankful
for is that we are alive and not in the grave with many of our friends."
—Lt. Col. Henry Dearborn's diary entry of 18 December

"If the government gets into business on any large scale, we soon find
that the beneficiaries attempt to play a large part in the control.
While in theory it is to serve the public, in practice it will be very largely serving
private interests."—Calvin Coolidge

Surgeon Albigence Waldo observed of that encampment,
"Mankind is never truly thankful for the benefits of life, until
they have experienced the want of them."

"If that was treason—then make the most of it."—Patrick Henry
"[He] possessed the gift of silence."—President John Adams
on George Washington's exercise of discretion as a general and president

"You can't stop a politician, even by defeating him."—Will Rogers


"I recall now Valley Forge. I recall the war for the independence of the colonies. I recall that revolution reversing the course of the karma of Europe which the dark ones would have placed upon America by entanglement, by association, by taxation. And I see the great vision and the diamond light of the mind of George Washington, who by the thrust of the mind of God became the white­fire core reversing that energy back to that shore from whence it came.

"I see him kneeling in prayer, praying on behalf of America. And I see legions from the God Star Sirius hearken to the prayers of the general. I see how the words spoken from his lips on that cold day in the wood were heard by the mighty blue eagle of Sirius, who responded instantaneously
—these legions of light who made their way, encamping round about him and among the men and, by the infusion of that God­light, securing the victory.

"America is the miracle of ascended-master love. America is a miracle land of violet fire; America is the victory of God’s desire. America is the land of the abundance of the Mother flame! America is the land where the children of God are called home to the I AM name. America is the land where sons and daughters of God come forth to enshrine the noble purpose of God, of sacred worth. America is a land infused with sacred fire; America is born of God desire.

"I ask you then to secure the famous painting, a replica thereof, of George Washington kneeling in prayer. I ask that this shall be the sign of those who love America in Christ, in God, in freedom.I ask that you give this painting to your friends who are Christians, who are religious, who are devotees, that you ask them to have it in their homes, and that you ask them to pray with you for the light and the victory of America.

"And above all I ask you, Keepers of the Flame, to kneel in prayer once a day with Godfre and with me before you retire and to remember to call for the victory of light in America and in the hearts of the American people. And I can assure you by all that lives and breathes, by all that is holy in love, the mighty blue eagle from Sirius will answer your call and will deliver this nation as one nation under God—individed, undivided, secure in the oneness of the light."

"The most important key we can release to the alchemist at this stage of his development is found in these words of Jesus: 'Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.' All of the pristine beauties of nature—the ethereal highlights whose gentle glow can be sensed by the budding spiritual faculties of the children of God—hold as their essential content the sweet creative longing of a child.

"I do not wish to disabuse the minds of the children of men who have held such high and mighty opinions of the Masters of cosmos of any false glamour with which they have clothed our office under the Godhead, almost as a gilding of the cosmic lily. However, I do feel the need to point out, not only from my own experience but also from the experiences of those who are above me in the hierarchy, that the higher we have gone in our contact with the Deity, the more childlike, the more simple, the more beautiful has been his representation.

"Therefore we conclude that the innocence of Nature herself is perhaps the greatest key to her potential for wondrous alchemical creations. We amplify, then, the need of the children of God to empty their minds of the dregs of turbulent emotions that have engaged their energies through the centuries and kept them bound to a senseless round of confusion and struggle.

"The great barrier to spiritual progress has been that men confuse holy innocence and becoming like a little child with playing the fool. The highest Masters are childlike, sweet, and innocent. Nevertheless, when functioning in the world domain, they sharpen their 'worldly senses' in order to execute judgment in human affairs.

"The reason I introduce the subject of becoming 'as a little child' into our study of intermediate alchemy is that every factor of thought and feeling impresses itself upon the sensitive matrices of alchemical manifestation. No thought or feeling, then, can be termed unimportant or irrelevant. Without hesitation, I declare that the most important of all alchemical factors in drawing forth the highest aspects of creation is the childlike mind—pure and guileless.

"The child mind is the greatest mind because its innocence is its best and sure defense, because it is not surrounded by crowding concepts, and because it is free to develop symmetry, color, sound, light, and new ideas. In short, it is free to create; and its supreme goal is to spread happiness in all of its forms and manifestations, all the while maintaining the purity and harmlessness of the child.

"Let me say, however, that the idea of harmlessness is applicable only to the world of human beings, for how can there be a need for harmlessness unless there first exist harm? When you destroy harm, you no longer have need to create harmlessness. In the absence of harm or harmlessness, the innocence of childhood prevails, enabling the souls of men to commune gently with nature and nature’s God.

" . . . Among the greatest misconceptions that have ever been formed in the minds of men is that which concerns the nature of spiritual realms. Men either think that heaven is remote, unfulfilling, and lacking in the joys of this world, or they imagine that it is the ultimate goal—the reward of the faithful and their relief from the oppressions of a world of sin, a place where they will have nothing further to do and all progress will cease.

"In both cases the fallacy is in thinking that the future will bring man something that is not available to him today. Life is abundant—here, now, and forever. Wherever you are, it needs only to be tapped.

"May I say, then, that I have walked and talked with the elder gods of the race. I have met with the greatest interplanetary Masters, cosmic and angelic beings. I have attended ceremonies in the grand halls of the retreats and strolled the cosmic highways. In short, I have had the most wondrous experiences since my ascension, and with me still is the memory of all of my earthly experiences prior to my ascension.

"But none of these are worthy—even the highest of them—to be compared with the experiences I have had in the mind of the Divine Manchild. Thus should the alchemist realize that neither heaven nor earth can give him that which he has not already found within himself.

"Truly, 'eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.' What a pity that more cannot shed this false sense of a far-off and future good! The secrets of life are to be found here below as above. The changing of base metals into gold would produce only earthly beauty and earthly wealth. But the changing of the base nature of man into the refined gold of the Spirit enables him not only to master the world of the Spirit, but also to take dominion over the material world.

"If all power in heaven and earth is given unto me, then I can give it to whomsoever I will. Yet would I will to give it to those who would abuse and misuse it to the hurt and harm of their brothers?

" . . . Let men learn to empty themselves completely of their attachments to the earth; so shall they begin to enter into the childlike mind and spirit of creative innocence. The greatest angels who keep the way of the Tree of Life cannot deny those who have reunited with the wholly innocent mind of God access to Eden. How can they, then, deny it to the Divine Alchemist in man, who in honor reaches forth to take the fruit of the Tree of Life that he may indeed live forever?"

Saint Germain
Intermediate Studies in Alchemy
chapter 11


"Be attentive to the detail of obedience, to precepts holy, to the voice of our representative, to the voice of God within you. For by obedience the doors of heaven are open wide and the cornucopia of abundance of joy, wisdom, light and happiness in overcoming descend upon you. I know, for I am called God Obedience. And my testing in obedience was given by the Ascended Master Saint Germain and by the Goddess of Liberty at Valley Forge and elsewhere in the fight for independence. I stood unflinchingly obedient to inner guidance, and it was upon that inner light that this nation was founded, a nation under God. I can count at least twelve occasions during the battle when, had I not been obedient to the flame and the voice, all would have been lost and all would have perished, and you might find yourself this day a dominion of Great Britain.

"And so you see, each act of obedience, to the small, to the great, is an action upon which a kingdom can be build, and that kingdom is the kingdom of God come into manifestation upon earth, that kingdom is the city foursquare. Watch and pray, for each thrust of rightness and right use of the law, is a thrust that is a challenge in the very teeth of the rebellious ones, the defiant ones, those who disobey the fiats of the Lord because they have not his love in their hearts."

Washington—Equal to His Times

"To say, '. . . I have embraced the larger cause of the future of humanity'—to say this, beloved, does make you worthy to be a chela of the will of God. It is to have the vision, now enhanced by the presence everywhere of the All-Seeing Eye, the vision of a larger purpose, and to have the sense of self-worth that you might see yourself as a part of that purpose, to have the sense of self-worth that knows that although your role may seem insignificant, no one's role ever is. For all count as a part of that one body, having one and several talents, each one bringing theirs to another and another, that there might be love's interchange and the rejoicing and the praising God in your midst and in your members, the praising God that all the pieces of the mighty mandala of Light may assemble to achieve the day of the cosmic morn.

" . . . What do we do, then, when we see that those who appear to be strong and youthful and to have all that it takes to run a government are in fact at inner levels handicapped spiritually?

" . . . [W]e must invoke a mighty intercession for the descent of Cosmic Christs that they might enter the arena [of the government and the economy] to overshadow those who simply are not equal to their times. George Washington was a man who was equal to his times. But, . . . he had to grow into his boots, he had to grow into his uniform, he had to put on the Christ when he did not know that [what he was putting on] was the Christ or his Christhood. He put on his Higher Identity and moved forward even though he was beset with common faults that all have, thoughts of pride or ambition, desires to do this and that. Yes, beloved, he moved on, impelled by a higher guidance and the right hand of God.

"This is the understanding I would give to you. You cannot sit on the sidelines and be a spectator, waiting [to be perfected so that you can begin your mission]. You know that you have a mission. You must be up and doing! You must be up and doing, beloved! You must realize that in the very process of doing what is the immediate greatest necessity, you are engaging with the forces of your time, with the energies of the planetary systems and the light of the sun itself.

" . . . Know that it is the fire of winter that inspires selfconquest.It is the fire of winter that compels sacrifice,whereby the old man is set aside, the new man is born;and that new man is one who is ready to give his all forthe victory of a cause."

"Fortunate, then, for the mission of Elohim that the initiate son George Washington stood in the cold winter of Valley Forge. And in that white-fire snow (such as we experience in this hour at various points on the planet), there was the manifestation of God-determination to overcome and to dedicate this new nation. So you understand that it, too, was the hour of the appearance of the Woman clothed with the Sun, as the Goddess of Liberty appeared to the initiate of the Buddha and gave the blessing for the incarnation of the Manchild as the Spirit of Liberty, the spirit of George Washington, and the spirit of a nation. From that hour, in order for that child to be born, the war had to be fought. Thus there is a war once again, as the cycles have turned. And in this century the new nation, which is a spiritual uniting of all souls of the seed of Sanat Kumara, is dedicated.

"This spiritual nation is in the birth pangs in this very hour! And it, too, becomes the Manchild of the Divine Woman—Mother Mary, the Goddess of Liberty, Kuan Yin, the Mother flame embodied in the messenger and each one of you. The Universal Mother through every part of life, conjoining with the light of Alpha, does give birth then to this mighty victorious God flame."

Peace and Aloha

"Would you like to know how I inherited fearlessness flame? I tell you, I was also embodied in Mater. I also walked the path of initiation, and when I came to that place where all of the demons of the night and the fallen ones assailed me to take from me my own blessed Christ awareness, I knelt in prayer. I called out to God as God gave to me the awareness of these hordes of darkness in their array. And I tell you, the discarnates that assail the holy innocence of the devotees number in the millions, and as vultures they come to attack the soul—the soul that is about to be set free in the ritual of overcoming.

"God showed me the horror of the night and of the fallen ones, and I cried out to him in my prayer and I said, 'O God, you are greater than all of this, your flame and your light able to consume the darkness!' And I called to God for the specific action of the Christ consciousness that I knew must exist; for no thing, no shadowed one could occupy time and space without God providing the counterpoint of light, of freedom! And I called forth the dissolving action of the light of the Christ. I called forth the ray that I knew would dissolve all that would assail me in the hour of my victory.

"And I would point out to you that in that moment I faced, as you will face in the moment of your overcoming, the entire momentum of fear on that planetary body, fear of evolutions without attainment, fear of the fallen ones of the second death and of the judgment. And all of that fear upon me as the clouds of the night. Yet I concentrated on the faith in the element of grace that was able to counteract that darkness.

"By that faith in the ultimate existence in God of the element to counteract fear, I received, after many, many hours of prayer, the vision of fearlessness flame descending out of the great God Star as a pencil-light across the sky descending. And I gazed and I saw and, lo, the descending of that fire came unto me—to the very place where I knelt in prayer. And as that ray descended, I saw the components of the inner light. I saw something of the chemistry of God. I saw elemental beings ensouling that ray. I saw the piercing white light and the action of the emerald ray,
piercing all of that darkness!

"And, lo, as the ray descended, I saw the dissolution of worlds of fear and doubt and all separation from God. And in the place where darkness was, I saw, lo, angels, hosts of light, and I heard the music of the spheres carried in fearlessness flame. And as the ray descended, it burst as a fire around me and I was enveloped in that fire, that fearlessness flame! And it burned through me and through my soul and through my chakras and through my four lower bodies, and it burned until I became that flame.

"And I surrendered all vestiges of lesser awareness outside of the Great God Flame, and I saw that God called me to be the fullness of that flame to many lifewaves. I saw that God placed upon me the greatest initiation of fear, that I might receive the greatest blessing of its antidote. In order that I might carry that fire and be worthy to carry it, I must needs first perceive all that would oppose that fire, that I might give answer unto the Lord whether I would stand fast to focus that flame in the face of all that would oppose it until the ultimate consummation of the planes of Mater.

"You see, precious ones, whatever virtue you invoke from the heart of God, you must first slay
the darkness that will assail that virtue. And God will not lower into the chalice of your heart the elements of that flame until you have stood by your own light, your own determination, your own momentum!—until you have stood to conquer those who would challenge you the moment you would receive that energy.

"God is not an unwise investor of energy. He does not place in your hand that which you have proven yourself incapable of defending, else God himself would be bankrupt. And therefore, the testing, therefore the Path, therefore initiation."

Ray-O-Light

Rev. Nathaniel Randolph Snowden, writing shortly after the Revolutionary War, affirmed that he personally interviewed Isaac Potts of Valley Forge about his knowledge of General Washington's religious faith during the winter encampment there.

Rev. Snowden, who also met with Washington in person, quotes Potts:

"I never believed that America [could] proceed against Great Britain whose fleets and armies covered the land and ocean, but something very extraordinary converted me to the Good Faith!

" . . . Do you see that woods, and that plain . . . There laid the army of Washington. It was a most distressing time of ye war, and all were for giving up the Ship but that great and good man. In that woods pointing to a close in view, I heard a plaintive sound as, of a man at prayer. I tied my horse to a sapling and went quietly into the woods and to my astonishment I saw the great George Washington on his knees alone, with his sword on one side and his cocked hat on the other.

"He was at Prayer to the God of the Armies, beseeching to interpose with his Divine aid, as it was ye Crisis, and the cause of the country, of humanity and of the world. Such a prayer I never heard from the lips of man. I left him alone praying.

"I went home and told my wife. I saw a sight and heard today what I never saw or heard before, and just related to her what I had seen and heard and observed. We never thought a man [could] be a soldier and a Christian, but if there is one in the world, it is Washington. She also was astonished. We thought it was the cause of God, and America could prevail."




"First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen, he was second to none in humble and enduring scenes of private life. Pious, just humane, temperate, and sincere; uniform dignified, and commanding; his example was as edifying to all around him as were the effects of that example lasting; correct throughout, vice shuddered in his presence and virtue always felt his fostering hand. The purity of his private charter gave effulgence to his public virtues;. Such was the man for whom our nation morns."—John Marshall (official eulogy of George Washington, delivered by Richard Henry Lee, 26 December 1799), Reference: Patriot Sage, Spalding


"In offering to you, my countrymen, these counsels . . . that they will control the usual current of the passions or prevent our nation from running the course which has hitherto marked the destiny of nations . . . that they may . . . warn against the impostures of pretended patriotism—this hope will be a full recompense for the solicitude for your welfare by which they have been dictated."
—George Washington, his Farewell Address

Along with the Declaration of Independence and Gettysburg Address, George Washington's 1796 Farewell Address stands tall among the most eminently quotable—and venerable
—documents in American history. And like all great statements, it has been subjected to generations of disparate exegesis by scholars, politicians, and partisans of every stripe.

Nevertheless, Washington's famous letter stands as testimony to a man who could be trusted with power because he would so readily give it up; a man whose mere presence held together the early Republic, and whose impending departure hinted at uncertain days ahead. Washington's advice to the children of the War for Independence was and remains, simply, concord at home, independence abroad.


"There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily."—George Washington
The so-called Christmas Campaign victories of General George Washington in 1776 at Trenton and Princeton were followed a year later by the Revolutionary Army's retreat to Valley Forge, the trail marked by bloody footprints in the snow. Washington wrote in discouragement of "A character to lose—an estate to forfeit—the inestimable blessing of liberty at stake—and a life devoted, must be my excuse," and about how "it was much easier to draw up remonstrances in a comfortable room by a good fire-side, than to occupy a cold bleak hill, and sleep under frost and snow, without clothes or blankets."

"Our unalterable resolution would be to be free. They have attempted to subdue us by force, but God be praised! in vain. Their arts may be more dangerous then their arms. Let us then renounce
all treaty with them upon any score but that of total separation, and under God trust our cause to our swords."—Samuel Adams

"We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."—Ben Franklin
"We have abundant reason to rejoice that in this Land the light of truth and reason has triumphed over the power of bigotry and superstition, and that every person may here worship God according to the dictates of his own heart. In this enlightened Age and in this Land of equal
liberty it is our boast, that a man's religious tenets will not forfeit the protection of the Laws, nor deprive him of the right of attaining and holding the highest Offices that are known in the United States."—George Washington (letter to the Members of the New Church in Baltimore, 27 January 1793)

"We are either a United people, or we are not. If the former, let us, in all maters of general concern act as a nation, which have national objects to promote, and a national character to support. If we are not, let us no longer act a farce by pretending to it."—George Washington
"Citizens by birth or choice of a common country— that country has a right to concentrate your affections. The name of American, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always
exalt the just pride of Patriotism, more than any appellation derived from local discriminations."
—George Washington

"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it NOW deserves the love and thanks of man and woman."—Thomas Paine

"His mind was great and powerful, without being of the very first order; his penetration strong, though not so acute as that of Newton, Bacon, or Locke; and as far as he saw, no judgment
was ever sounder"—Thomas Jefferson (on George Washington in a letter to Dr. Walter Jones, 2 January 1814) ,Reference: Jefferson: Writings, Peterson ed., Library of America (1318)

"Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"—Patrick Henry

"His integrity was most pure, his justice the most inflexible I have ever known, no motives of interest or consanguinity, of friendship or hatred, being able to bias his decision. He was indeed, in every sense of the words, a wise, a good, and a great man."—Thomas Jefferson about George Washington

"The value of liberty was thus enhanced in our estimation by the difficulty of its attainment, and the worth of characters appreciated by the trial of adversity."—George Washington

"Let us therefore rely upon the goodness of the Cause, and the aid of the supreme Being, in whose hands Victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble Actions—The Eyes of all our Countrymen are now upon us . . . "—George Washington

"May the father of all mercies scatter light, and not darkness, upon our paths, and make us in all our several vocations useful here, and in His own due time and way everlastingly happy."
—George Washington (letter to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, August 1790) Reference: George Washington: A Collection, W.B. Allen, ed. (548

"[A] good moral character is the first essential in a man, and that the habits contracted at your age are generally indelible, and your conduct here may stamp your character through life. It is therefore highly important that you should endeavor not only to be learned but virtuous."—George Washington (letter to Steptoe Washington, 5 December 1790) Reference: Maxims of George Washington, Schroeder, ed.

"We should never despair, our Situation before has been unpromising and has changed for the better, so I trust, it will again. If new difficulties arise, we must only put forth new Exertions and proportion our Efforts to the exigency of the times."—George Washington

"Having now finished the work assigned me, I retire from the great theatre of Action; and bidding an Affectionate farewell to this August body under whose orders I have so long acted, I here offer my commission, and take my leave of all the employments of public life."—George Washington
"Heaven has crowned all its other blessings, by giving a fairer opportunity for political happiness, than any other Nation has ever been favored with."—George Washington
"Our cause is noble; it is the cause of mankind!"—George Washington
"Tis well."—George Washington (14 December 1799),(507) Reference: The First of Men, Ferling
"His Example is now complete, and it will teach wisdom and virtue to magistrates, citizens, and men, not only in the present age, but in future generations, as long as our history shall be read."
—John Adams on George Washington

"Pious, just, humane, temperate, and sincere... his example was as edifying to all around him as were the effects of that example lasting... correct throughout, vice shuddered in his presence and virtue always felt his fostering hand. The purity of his private charter gave effulgence to his public virtues."—Henry "Light-Horse Harry" Lee's eulogy to George Washington
