It is the way of sickness to shun the merciful, and to acclaim only heroic deeds, to abandon economy, and to be selfish. They are sick, who are not humble but try always to be first. Only he who is compassionate can show true bravery, and in defending, show great strength. Compassion is the means by which mankind may be guarded and saved, for The Force of The All, which is also the force of that which is right, arms with compassion those whom justice would not see destroyed.
Something to consider as the bankers and their sphere of influence spreads even more widely….as people continue to live in “the Dream”.
Don’t fixate on the problem being solely an American one, as the disease is spreading worldwide, and will touch all men. As the Sixth to Come said in his time:
“The moneychangers and the usurers shall cry out in despair of their trade, and will offer you and the Lamb ransom to change your course. Turn your back upon them, for they know only evil; and misery is their trade among men. And they know what evil they do: for they lust after the fruits of gold, and do no labour. They grow not, yet they reap; and sow only the seeds of slavery for their own gain; and harden their hearts as does the common harlot, against all things that are right among men.” ( The Book of Man: page 813)

The sea is the ruler of river and stream, because it rules from well beneath. The teacher guides his students best, by allowing them to lead.

(From the Ciphers of The Way)
There are two ways of government. One is to be cunning, to act with guile, and to contrive to cheat the people. When this way is used to rule, the people grow in cunning, and contrive to cheat the ruler.
The second way to govern the land, is to do so without contriving. People so governed are truly blessed, for they are governed with virtue, and virtuous government is fair to all, thus leading to unity.
You may or may not know of the relevance of numbers within the natural order of the Universe, within plants and many biological structures. This is often called the Golden Mean, or the Golden Ratio, or Phi (pronounced ‘fi’, or sometimes ‘fee’). The following videos give some idea as to how the proportion is hidden within everyday objects.
Knowing that it is against the teachings of The Way to make attempt to enforce learning, the early priest-teachers did not contrive to teach The Way. They set it before men that they could come to their own conclusions, and make choice.
The wise one seeks freedom from desire, not grasping at ideas. He brings men back when they are lost, and helps them find The Way, even in darkness.
