Hello and welcome to The Fellowship Chronicles—where we peel back the veil of illusion and speak truth in a time when truth is so needed.
Today’s episode goes to the heart of our nation's survival—our children’s future, our personal freedom, and our very reason for being.
We’re asking a question that few dare to voice: What good is the finest education, the best food, the highest culture, or even the purest spirituality—if there’s no future left to live it?
We’re talking today about spiritual and physical defense—not as a last resort, but as the first law of survival for both souls and nations.
Defense Is Dharma
We begin with this powerful truth:
“If we do not begin with a spiritual defense and a physical defense, then all our efforts will have been in vain.”
This isn’t fear-based thinking. This is divine realism.
It is dharma. Dharma means our sacred duty—to defend the platform of evolution that God has given us, which is the earth. Dharma is the soul’s calling, the reason we were born.
You may be familiar with the story of Arjuna and Krishna from the Bhagavad-Gita. On the eve of battle, Arjuna—overwhelmed with emotion—refuses to fight. But Krishna, his divine charioteer, reminds him that he is not fighting for vengeance, but for righteousness.
“Arise, Son of Kunti! Gird thyself for battle—for so thou shalt not sin!”
So, yes, in this imperfect world, physical defense for the cause of righteousness is necessary at both the personal and national level.
Krishna also teaches Arjuna about the continuity of life and the indestructibility of the spirit:
He says: “Never the spirit was born; the spirit shall cease to be never.”
This truth—the immortality of our spirit—is foundational. When we understand immortality, we understand that accountability spans lifetimes. The soul must stand for truth—not just in meditation, but in action.
History’s Lessons
Let’s talk about what happens when a civilization fails to defend itself.
First example - Carthage.
A wealthy, thriving city, but when threatened, it appeased Rome instead of preparing. She surrendered her children, her arms, her dignity—only to be betrayed and destroyed.
Even when Carthage finally resisted, it was too late. The city that once rivaled Rome burned for seventeen days. Its people were sold into slavery. Salt was sown into its soil to prevent its rebirth.
Pacifism did not save Carthage.
And history repeated itself—Rome fell to the barbarian invaders. Baghdad fell to the Mongols. Nations believed they were invincible—until they weren’t.
As George Santayana said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
So, what was the missing element that caused these civilizations to perish?
Spiritual and Physical Armor
We wrestle not only against flesh and blood, but against spiritual wickedness in high places. And so, we must put on the whole armor of God.
Not just physically—but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
The sacred fire of your I AM Presence is your defense.
The violet flame is your shield.
Your mind, attuned to Christ, is your fortress.
When Buddha sat beneath the Bo tree, Mara—the Evil One—attacked him with storms, temptations, and demons. In the end, Mara challenged even Gautama’s right to be there.
Buddha touched the earth and it thundered in reply: “I bear you witness!”
We, too, must be able to bear witness to our divine right to be and to defend that right.
Again, what was the common cause that led to the defeat of these past civilizations?
Toynbee’s Warning, Today’s Reality
The historian Arnold Toynbee wrote that the collapse of civilizations often comes not from outside attacks, but from internal malaise.
A nation’s survival depends not just on its weapons—but on its spiritual development.
Toynbee warns that when a “creative minority” becomes a “dominant minority”—no longer responsive to new challenges—the civilization enters its time of troubles.
We are in that time.
Our leaders must transcend the pull of mediocrity and rediscover the fire of moral courage.
The spiritual teacher, Elizabeth Clare Prophet, spoke specifically about Leonidas and the 300 Spartans who held the pass at Thermopylae against the great army of Persians in the most heroic resistance in history.
She says, ”It was 480 B.C. The Spartans lost 300 men, the Persians 20,000. Although Leonidas fell in the battle, he protected the Greek fleet from being outflanked by the Persians. And Greece lived to enter a brief but brilliant golden age.”
She said, “Remember the heroism at Thermopylae. Remember the integrity of 300 men. Golden ages come because peoples and societies are self-sustained by their inner sense of wholeness. And by their wholeness they are willing to stand against all odds for the principles of absolute Freedom, Peace, Truth and Universal Enlightenment.”
And think about how the founders of the nation America had this very same determination and as a result, we have a flourishing country. But we must take note of history and what can possibly happen.
Archangel Michael, Defender, said, “I know whereof I speak, for I have been present for the deliverance of many nations and planetary bodies and lifewaves across the galaxies. We are servants of the Most High God in defense of Life, in defense of the children of the seed of Christ. Therefore, I witness to you our intensification on the battleground of life.”
So call to Archangel Michael for your protection and for the protection of your family, your community and your nation—for the protection of all lightbearers around the world.
This simple mantra is most powerful. Give it out loud when possible.
Lord Michael before,
Lord Michael behind,
Lord Michael to the right,
Lord Michael to the left,
Lord Michael above,
Lord Michael below,
Lord Michael, Lord Michael wherever I go.
I AM his love protection here. I AM his love protection here. I AM his love protection here.
The Law of Self-Transcendence
Ask yourself a few questions. Are you transcending yourself daily? Or are you stagnating?
There are five key spiritual pitfalls that block our ability to grow and defend what is sacred:
Pleasure over purpose – wasting life force on self-indulgence instead of garnering the Light.
Unforgiveness – which locks us into karmic cycles we cannot transcend.
Revenge – carrying over seething bitterness from lifetime to lifetime.
Lack of compassion – closing the heart instead of opening it.
Refusing God's Will – chasing worldly things and ignoring divine assignment.
These must be faced. Because unless we cooperate with the law of self-transcendence, our individual and national integrity will break apart.
America at the Crossroads
America is at this threshold right now. Our civilization will not survive by hiding behind entertainment, pleasure, or politics. We must transcend ourselves, and our leaders must lead in spirit, not just strategy.
As Patrick Henry said in 1775: “The war has actually begun! Gentlemen may cry peace, peace—but there is no peace.”
And so, I ask you:
What is your personal Thermopylae? What principles are you willing to stand for, against all odds?
Because the future doesn’t belong to the pacified—it belongs to the prepared.
So today, let this be your takeaway: Yes, build your life. Nurture your family. meditate, pray, and feed your soul. But do not forget that the soul must be defended--spiritually and physically.
Because without the freedom to walk the path of light, no path exists.
Let us rise as guardians of the flame—not just for ourselves, but for the generations yet to be born.
This is your dharma.
Until next time—stay awake, stay armed in the Spirit, and stay faithful to your divine calling.
