I AM A COMMUNIST BY SPECIAL APPOINTMENT!
By Pr. OM Shernrezig Lind
Yes, this is my misfortune and whether I like it or not, I AM A COMUNIST BY SPECIAL APPOINTMENT!
Recently I was requested to attend a Worldwide Masonic Council in
No one budged, and not the slightest word was expressed to comment on my arguments. The entire Assembly finally shed its dense veil of reticence, and acclaimed me, requesting me to occupy the Presidency of the Council. In my words of thanks, I stated that “… now, no more than during the last war, not a wince of sympathy or admiration can be gotten out of me for the Allied block, or for its opponent in that matter, since I am intensely humanistic and Spiritual to the core, therefore above al partisanship, sectarianism, or nationalistic designs. Furthermore, whether I am branded as communist, nazi, jew or catholic, all such accusations leave me cold and irresponsive. I am what I am, and I don’t give a damn how my enemies consider or brand me to suit their own stupidity and mean designs” ...
A few days back, I receive a cable inviting me to a Spiritual Congress which is scheduled to open in Santiago de Chile soon. However, I declined the invitation, because I would not like to see this wonderful endeavor toward human spiritual advancement jeopardized by my presence, since the fact that I am branded as a communist by a number of cranks and irresponsible fanatics might be harmful to the good cause cultivated by this Congress.
I do not like to be the talk of the town. Yet, such a publicity is being given to my name, branding me as a communist, a self appointed Messiah, and a Jesuit, when not as a Wall Street agent, a Moslem secret agent, or a “Yellow Pope” that I cannot help enjoy the situation. However, this is becoming tragic, since from every quarters I am being locked upon as a freak. I receive secret Phone calls telling me that I am “being investigated by the FBI”, that the Secret Service is catching up with me... and that “the
The whole world can rest assured that I don’t give a damn about being investigated or not by the FBI, the Department of Justice and all the Gestapo, GPUs and Secret Corps imaginable, and no amount of Inquisitorial threats will bother or intimidate me. All I can say is, the more they investigate me the more they will discover that I have never entertained the slightest communistic sympathies, nor have ever either courted any sort of political party. During, the last (?) war I did lend some services to the
The fact is that I have been so bored with all such accusations that I am now sick of hearing the terms “democracy”, “Christianity”, “communism” and “modern civilization”. I’d sooner live in caves with baboons than admire the ideological antics of those who brand me as Communist, or what not. Whoever or whatever they are, and no matter what their ecclesiastic, social or police rank and condition, I have lost all admiration for their cause and pretext, and the more I hear of them the more I admire vipers and desert beasts which are at least sincere about their aims and motives.
As I said I AM A COMMUNIST BY SPECIAL APPOINTMENT. This, of course, after having being treated as a “Black Magician” by self exalted theosophists, “Crook” by the AMORC bedlam, “antichristian” by the auspicious Catholic Church, “Nazi”, “Wall Street agent”, “Cosmopolitan” and “vulgar Jew” by the capable communistic propagandists, and last but not least as a “deluded mystic” by certain Scottish Rite so-called Brother-masons of England and France! … what a service file! Yet, each of these people who attack me so willfully have never brought the slightest evidence against me, backing their freak accusations! Needless to say, these people just as freak as their own fabrications, and their motives or purposes are well divulged by the way they so frantically attack me. Why, if they could have even a shred of evidence against me, they would have sink and destroyed me long ago !
The point is I cannot be destroyed that easily, not even by making a crank, a communist or any other specious thing out of me. Whatever may be said about me, the fact remains that no one can prove the least against my character. They may try to affect my prestige and destroy my reputation, so as to prevent my efforts from fructifying, or my sacrifices from triumphing; but it all will have to be upon my back and in the dark ..... such as gangsters would behave. I have never yet met eye to eye any of my detractors or enemies. None seem ready or willing to face me in the open, away from their own back alleys.
A year or so ago a British newspaper published in
Yes, I AM A COMMUNIST BY SPECIAL APPOINTMENT, even though I ignore, dislike and really abhor it. This vicious attack upon my character works like a mischievous timepiece, menacing to explode into atomic shreds, like a momentous excommunion. There seems to be no indulgence for me, no pity, no quarters. My enemies are powerful, and they know it. I also know it, because those who so wantonly slander me, work in the dark, by means of nasty whispers, always stating “it is a proven fact”, “on dit on hayt lieu”, “Police is on his tracks” … but never humanely offering evidences. They track me, and pretend that my activities are subversive. Why? Is it not because I bother them, or because I am much better than they could never dream to be?
The worse of this shameful campaign, is that so many people who believe in me are now afraid ... and some doubt, while most run away from me. Sooth to say, this is the world two world wars were fought for and a third general catastrophe is being prepared. Shouldn’t I be glad to be among the very few who are not responsible for such a truculent way of Life.
