My friend, you forgot something very important:
146:2.13 (1640.2)12. All believers in this gospel should pray sincerely for the extension of the kingdom of heaven. Of all the prayers of the Hebrew scriptures he commented most approvingly on the petition of the Psalmist: “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Purge me from secret sins and keep back your servant from presumptuous transgression.” Jesus commented at great length on the relation of prayer to careless and offending speech, quoting: “Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.” “The human tongue,” said Jesus, “is a member which few men can tame, but the spirit within can transform this unruly member into a kindly voice of tolerance and an inspiring minister of mercy.”

173:1.11 (1891.1)This cleansing of the temple discloses the Master’s attitude toward commercializing the practices of religion as well as his detestation of all forms of unfairness and profiteering at the expense of the poor and the unlearned. This episode also demonstrates that Jesus did not look with approval upon the refusal to employ force to protect the majority of any given human group against the unfair and enslaving practices of unjust minorities who may be able to entrench themselves behind political, financial, or ecclesiastical power. Shrewd, wicked, and designing men are not to be permitted to organize themselves for the exploitation and oppression of those who, because of their idealism, are not disposed to resort to force for self-protection or for the furtherance of their laudable life projects.

Mastering words in writing and speech
This booklet should sit on the coffee table of millions of homes as an inspiration to the power of words in conversation with family and guests.
I know the author of these words well as he is a co-worker. He is a server of the divine plans for this world and has answered the call to service in the work of the 5th Epochal Revelation of God to the human family. He is what he writes! His writings and speech suggest a modern language prophet similar to the style of Kahlil Gibran who wrote the well-read book “The Prophet” written in English prose.

Wow, what a powerful and thought-provoking reflection on the importance of free speech and rebellion! Your analysis of the current drive for Hate Speech Legislation and its parallels with Lucifer's attempts to control the narrative is spot on. I particularly appreciated your emphasis on the decentralized nature of the market of ideas and the need for truth recognition to bring about justice and righteousness. Your reference to Jesus' willingness to speak truth to power and his response to the Jewish leaders' request to silence the crowds is a timely reminder of the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the face of adversity. Thank you for sharing your insights and for being a voice for truth and freedom!
