AUSCHWITZ -- LEST WE FORGET

On January 27, 2005, ceremonies were held commemorating the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi extermination camp of Auschwitz-Birkeneau by the Allies. The next day, an article in the Journal de Montreal newspaper appeared entitled:

«THE ENTIRE WORLD HAS A DUTY NOT TO FORGET.»

Numerous people attended the ceremonies including some 2,000 survivors of the camp who were joined by over 30 heads of state as well as many government officials. The message was clear, "Let Us Remember"

Remember what? "This crime against humanity... in order that such horrors may never be repeated", declared Bernard Laundry, head of Quebec's official opposition party, at Montreal's Holocaust Commemorative Center.

During the week, the media around the world repeated the same message. In Europe, children visited the crime scenes so that they too would not forget that six million Jews were exterminated. Everywhere survivors told their stories of the horrible atrocities so that people would remember.

This crime took place 60 years ago. The victims were the Jews, the culprit - the German government, the saviors - the Allies.

In the same newspaper, there was also an article entitled, "Israel accused of war crimes by the UN". It included a quote from John Dugard, a South African law professor sent by the UN to report on human rights issues in the occupied Territories. He noted in his recently published report, "The punitive demolition of Palestinian homes constituted a serious war crime."

This crime took place today. The victims were the Palestinians, the culprit - the Israeli government, the savior - the UN.

Finally, I recently heard the Canadian military General Romeo Dallaire describe the horror of the genocide that took place in Rwanda. He helplessly watched the massacre of a million inhabitants because the UN turned a deaf ear to his urgent pleas for help to stop the killings.

This crime took place ten years ago. The victims were the Rwandans, the culprit - the UN, the savior - was no where to be found!

I must be missing something. At the end of the Second World War, the international authorities held the Nuremberg trials to punish those responsible for the atrocities, the culprits of the concentration camps... so that such crimes against humanity would never be repeated. These same authorities established the UN to maintain world peace. They endowed the UN with the control over military operations around the world. By all accounts, the authorities appeared to have taken the appropriate steps.

But have they really? It seems to me that there are more instances of genocide than ever. Yesterday's victims are today's culprits and even yesterday's savior has become today's culprit... What sort of situation are we in? Who is leading us towards this abyss? Where exactly are the authorities leading us?

We remember successive atrocities, they happen often enough, and yes, each time we tell ourselves "never again" only to repeat the same horrors again and again! Do we not learn? Do the authorities suffer from a form of Alzheimer or does humanity in general? Are we somehow condemned to repeating the same atrocities and suffer in perpetuity?

WHAT DOES PERSONOCRATIA SAY?

REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE rather than the suffering of the past. You have forgotten your true identity. You are the creative spirit of your body as well as of the world in which you live. It is a world of material illusion, a theatrical play, a drama, in which you star in various roles -- sometimes as a helpless victim, sometimes as a guilty culprit, sometimes as a savior. You get caught up in this spectacle which may appear to be real when in fact it is a snap-shot of your level of awareness. It is your soul which is portrayed in this image in order to help you become aware of its state of health. Wars and their atrocities help you "see" to what extent your soul is not well. The example of Auschwitz only confirms how sick it really is.

This drama has three criteria; it feeds on fear, it creates suffering, and it always ends in tragedy. In the final act, all the actors end up dying. It is a game of death played out on a political stage.

These human tragedies have been re-enacted for thousands of years. The poor sheep are always the VICTIMS who see themselves as powerless creatures, the product of an external creator. They are cursed by the spell of this creator and menaced by the big bad wolf, the CULPRIT, whom they hold responsible for their misery. Afraid, they look around for a SAVIOR to protect them and find him in the person of a good shepherd.

But the good shepherd is no fool. He knows that a flock of scared sheep are ready to pay a heavy price for protection and security. In return he demands domination and exploitation. He makes up laws and controls the purse strings. The sheep must obey and submit to his authority. Most of all, they are given no choice when it comes to having the wool sheared off their backs. They no longer have any say! He dictates their behavior. In exchange for the illusion of some sort of material security, the sheep abdicate their real nature. They give up their unlimited divine rights. They sell their souls.

If any sheep tries to take back his authority, to act according to his soul and conscience, the shepherd quickly acts to "refresh" the collective memory of the entire fold. Out comes the wolf, and after he has feasted on a sheep or two, they all get the message. To keep them in line, the shepherd often reminds them of past suffering and of what might happen in the future if he were not around. The sheep are brainwashed by the shepherd to believe that, without him, they are the powerless prey and as such are destined to die.

As long as the sheep are afraid of the wolf, the shepherd can continue to dominate and exploit. It is in his interest to perpetuate a climate of fear. He does this by dreaming up all manner of illusionary enemies, "wolves". He gives them such names as crimes against humanity, virus, microbes, cancer, epidemic, old age, poverty, disease, terrorists, thieves, rapists, war, pestilence, race, religion, extermination, death... and the list goes on. The shepherd has a fertile imagination. Whenever he wants to expand his rule of domination and exploitation, he simply releases yet another "wolf" into the fold. Each time he does, he progressively fleeces them of their rights and strips them of their possessions. They in turn become ever more docile to the point of accepting the unacceptable.

The good shepherd has an insatiable appetite. And so he increases the shearing cycle and reduces rations. However, at some point the sheep finally do end up becoming indignant. They revolt and protest. They demand justice. They want the shepherd (the authorities) to treat them fairly, to defend their interests, to act as their protector. They want to reform him. Since that invariably fails, they sometimes try by becoming aggressive. But this reaction is quickly met with force, the meager carrot quickly turns into a big stick. They either tow the line or face dire consequences. And so again feeling helpless, the sheep succumb. Surely the shepherd can listen to reason and change his ways?\

The answer is no! The role of the shepherd in this saga is set. Fleece the sheep and when there is no wool left, lead them to the slaughter. The role of the sheep is to submit to the shearing and be thankful for the modest rations. To suffer in silence until the inevitable end. The role of the wolf is to instill fear. The saga eventually comes to an end when all the players die. That is the tragedy of Hell on Earth!

Who writes this tragedy?

It is none other than each and every sheep who has forgotten that he is a (divine) creator in his own right. And so instead each one struggles on, limited by his perception of being a creature, nothing more than a physical body evolving in a material world. Not realizing that this is an illusion, each creates a virtual story based on his self-image and likeness of a simple creature created by an invisible external creator of unlimited scope. He calls this external might God, Allah, Yahweh, Krishna... In order to gain favor from his almighty creator, he makes offerings in the form of golden idols, human and animal sacrifices, the body and blood of religions... He obeys his creator's representatives on Earth, the authorities who purport to posses the divine right, and who pretend to protect him and see to his well-being. Still unaware of who he really is, he submits to the domination and exploitation of the authorities.

However, when one does look a little closer, he begins to "see". Waging wars requires a lot of money. This implies the participation of the international banking community in the financing of arms, armies, concentration camps... It is the bankers who profit. On that illusionary world stage, their role is well laid out, make money whatever the cost. Could this explain their motivation to create conflicts? It becomes apparent that these bankers are stateless, the same bankers finance both sides involved in a conflict. As well, they promulgate hate and vengeance, subsidize arm sales to various governments, furnish arms to rebels, and support terrorists and civil rebellions. They also program the end of conflicts, and finance post-war settlement, reconstruction and rehabilitation costs. And then they send out their invoices, but to whom?

On even closer examination, the sheep realizes that he is the one who ends up paying the invoices. He learns that almost all of his hard earned money in the form of income and other taxes goes directly into the coffers of international bankers. They are in effect the private owners of the central banks which he thought were in the public domain, such as the Bank of Canada, Bank of France, Bank of England and the US Federal Reserve. He also becomes aware that the authorities, be they political, economic, medical, religious, or military, are all puppets whose strings are pulled by the international financiers. They determine the laws of the land, which include to what point the sheep is fleeced in order to maximize their profits.

This is a far cry from what the media has been reporting surrounding the 60th anniversary of Auschwitz. There was no mention of such facets of that period as: who financed the Second World War, who profited from it, who financed the rise of Hitler, who financed the armament of Germany when it was going through a serious economic recession, who profited from the slave labor recruited from the concentration camps. Could it be that the same people who financed the above also control the media?

With eyes now wide open, the sheep becomes aware that he is the one who finances the bankers, the same ones who finance wars. He realizes that by letting himself be fleeced he in effect creates wars, concentration camps, suffering and, as such, he himself is responsible for Hell on Earth. HE NOW REMEMBERS WHO HE REALLY IS, AN UNLIMITED CREATOR. He can now see wars and atrocities for what they are, a collective manifestation of division and seperation, which is the only conflict that exists within each human being. He now knows that the only reason he created wars, in his image and likeness, was to remind himself of who he really is.

He can now realize that, since he created this Hell on Earth, he can just as well create Paradise on Earth. He decides to change direction, erase his self image of being an unaware sheep and make a new start as a sovereign creator who is fully aware of his true identity. He works to transform his illusionary fears into a true form of love-of-self. He exchanges his role of a sheep for one of a "real" human being -- personocratia. He learns to think, speak and act as a divine sovereign in all material situations of his daily life. He knows, by no longer behaving as a sheep, by only listening to his internal authority, the saga will finally come to an end -- no more sheep, no more wolf, no more shepherd! The human tragedy with its suffering is over. Peace finally reigns on Earth!

And Personocratia ends on the following note. (format PDF, 97Ko). Excerpt from the book "What the Hell Am I Doing Here Anyway?" by Ghislaine Saint-Pierre Lanctôt
