Dec. 25—On Christmas Day, The LaRouche Organization sent the following message to all of its friends and supporters around the world:
As we recall the life and mission of Jesus this weekend, it is an opportunity to think on the higher purpose of our existence, and our role in this world.
Lyndon LaRouche once said of this:
“What I mean by being an angel, is this: Don’t look for wings, because nobody gave you any. You don’t have any magical powers; you weren’t given any. You were only given Reason, the Power of Reason. You weren’t told what your mission was. You were supposed to figure that out when you got here. But what you’ve got to do, is you’ve got to find your mission, like the Good Samaritan found his mission; you’ve got to find the mission you’ve got to fulfill, perform a miracle, figure out how to do it, succeed, and then, when it comes time to pass on, people will say, ‘That was an angel who was here at the time that angel was needed’….
“In philosophical terms, this is called a world-historical personality. If we are well-educated and well-cultured, we embody, through the process of educational experience, the reliving of the discovery of great ideas from the past. We embody the greatest gifts, in terms of ideas that were given to us, by previous generations. Thus, we are the living representatives of the ideas of the past, which are beneficial to mankind. We are also the people who are responsible for creating the conditions which are necessary for the well-being of coming generations. We are an individual, like an angel, who comes, who is born, who develops, who finds a mission, does the mission, and we pass on. And you must find in that concept of oneself as an angel, a sense of happiness….”
This holiday season, the world stands on the edge of catastrophic war—and courageous, loving angels are needed now more than ever. Momentum for a “Christmas Truce” and the spirit of true Peace on Earth must continue to grow.
So, as you recharge and reflect this weekend, we encourage you to think on the task ahead, and recommit to the immortal mission bestowed to us.
