A lady of Baltimore loses her home to the tax man, a man losing his dignity in the veteran hospital, are like the tree of the summer and the tree of winter. Appearing different they do but of the same form they are composing a different essence. At the end of the day, they are the same.
All of an order, one order, they are with each a manifestation of the order in which we first see through the senses. Like the trees of the same form but different by their essences. The tree in summer has leaves and the look of life in the winter the look is one on barrenness with the look of death. But still a tree, one tree.
We walk among people making jest of life and sport of religion. Their works, their accomplishments, live in vain standing on nothing but the strength of the flesh here today, gone tomorrow, being no different than the pagan burning incest to that which does not exist. Far too many place their trust no further than in the human. Such folly this is.
The eye and the heart focus on nothing but the self gaining nothing. We listen to the preacher but the preacher is a shepherd who misleads. He is a false prophet filling his flock with words of emptiness and vision of fancy and sport nowhere to be found.
Persistence on this path leads to pride, ignorance and arrogance of man.
We live in loneliness not man’s natural state. God gave us the animals to keep us company and then he gave us man and woman.
Making us the same and of the same so when the blood of one is shed by man, the further shedding of blood is the shedding of the blood of God.
We are born from the sperm drop, the clotted blood in the womb, and into the world we come part formed and part unformed waiting for the essence of God. With this essence arrives the understanding and appreciation of wisdom.
With this wisdom the road of right and wrong is laid out before us. Following this road with courage truth is discovered causing the heart by its own volition to bow down to that high and mighty.
Giving us the moral good and it is this moral good demanding respect for the lady losing her home to the tax man, the man losing his dignity in the veteran hospital.
The heart is not furthered by people of jest, sport and fancy. The American dream once honored demands to be recovered.
Of the world we are. All of us but not by our doing. Because of an agent we are making science true. Study God, study his science, making his science our rules of morality giving us ethics.
But this cannot be done when accept without thinking, without using the talents unique to man that which is our domain.
Up to you it is to determine your connection and relation with this domain. Up to you to see and understand like the tree we are, all the same, but of different essence, making us one.
Simply Put
I exist but my existence is not from my doing, making me contingent on an agent defying definition, and external to me. This agent either made me, set me aside, and moved on leaving me alone or made me with the agent living within me, stayed with me providing company.
The former is creation. The latter is emanation.
I believe I am an emanation (an extension) from an undefined original property (the agent spoken about) presented to the world as if the product of a creation. Being an emanation, this original property, no matter how undefined, lives on within me making the road I travel a road of the sovereign.
This road, a single road, comes to a split, becoming two roads, one smooth and level - the road of Good, the other rough and rocky - the road of Evil. Each road then leads to multiple roads with the road of Good having numerous roads of the same and the road of Evil having numerous roads of the same.
The decision which road to take is determined by which Will of man prevails. That is either the Will of Good or the Will of Evil.
The man who sees the Secret beyond the illusions of life sees the Good. The man who sees the shadows of the Secret sees Evil. The type of Will is determined by what man sees.
A laborious effort free of bias, tradition, dogma and conventionality, necessary to see beyond the illusions of life, requires a genuine desire and effort with courage to pursue this effort. It is an effort not making sense without the expectation of life after death with the current life being the life by which we learn, and the next life lived by what we have learned.
The purpose of the political order, more importantly the foundation of the political order, that is the economic order, is to free man not only from the chains of poverty and oppression setting him free to achieve his potential but to provide the way to unity with God, the undefined original property, realizing God is not external but internal telling us who is God.
I am God. You are God. We are God.
As such man has one duty. To care for his neighbor knowing the workings of inequities create poverty, oppress the working man, steal from him to give to the few, robs him of his artistic talent and his rightful place in eternity.
The customs and comforts of this world are to be seen for what they are. Here today. Gone tomorrow. Of the impermanent they are leaving me, and you, out on a high ledge with no choice but to search for the foundation, the permanent, upon which all rest.
Any other way is meaningless. Otherwise, my love for mother, for father, for brother, for sister, for daughter, for sons, means nothing without this foundation.
How To Avoid Misfortune
The lord decreed misfortune upon the Houses of Isreal and Judah for the evil done by these Houses prompting the faithful to ask why do the faithful suffer when the unfaithful prosper. “I, my family, my neighbors, abide by the Covenant, but our fruit with no worms does not sell but the fruit with worms of the unfaithful sells filling the pockets of the unfaithful with gold”, said Tavia.
We live, each of us, blessed with a heritage handed down to us. It is a heritage not only of our fathers and mothers but as found in the Old Testament.
This heritage is again attacked by the vultures of our time, the same vultures of yesterday.
Those loved dearly among them have people intent on plundering walking with stubbornness in their hearts. They care not for a heritage of the good in favor of chasing false idols bringing no happiness.
Walk with me on a road well traveled. That talk of walking upon the road not frequently traveled makes all the difference is nonsense.
It is the road well-travelled that counts for it is the road of mankind.
It has been said worshippers of idolatry will see the sword, pestilence, hunger and famine. That is those seeking greed, arrogance of themselves commonly called pride, claiming to walk the high road of man, shall lose their way to those lacking vision, divine thinking, with dreams of false imagination.
The politician lies. His boss lies. Their preacher pretending to be your preacher lies. Their lies accepted as truth no more are to be accepted.
They walk among those lacking vision, divine thinking, with dreams of false imagination
Walk understanding what we do today is because of what our fathers did before us. And what we do our heritage will walk upon us all part of a continuum.
I remember the peace, the flowers, the beauty, the calmness of the time when I was a child. Time was slow inviting an absence of fears and concerns. All were neighbors. All cared for themselves and each other.
I ask you to join not as a political colleague, a religious colleague, but as a citizen of the world who understands the struggles of birth, growth, decay and death, little league games woven in between, the long McDonald lines, the bosses, the elites, the snobs, the politicians and their preachers as they lie to us, deceive us, and turn us against each other.
Walk standing up to the incarnation of evil now living in the House of the People, the once Temple of Jerusalem, today’s White House and Capital of the Free World. Take back our houses. These are our house.
The man who cut my hair, the polite gentleman once accepting my money to see a movie, the kind lady walking me safely across the road to where I learned to read, add and subtract, all of these were people dear then and now.
In church my eyes fixated upon Jesus standing on a cloud holding a sheep with a smile.
Those sharing the above experiences of my days of young in one form or another are to study these experiences and discover the secrets of those days of unity and love weaving the same into the fabric of today’s despair and division.
Today's parasites want you to see your brothers and sisters, wherever living as your enemy. These parasites define your conversation to focus on your neighbor as your enemy, the reason for your despair, ignoring the needs of your neighbor and you, telling your neighbor differs from you, of a different religion, a different color, a different sexual preference. Just different.
The questions asked some 500 years ago relevant then remain so today. Then as now man continued the struggle to assert his freedom from an authoritative church. Man continued the age-old struggle to think for himself casting aside the embracement of the church in its endeavor to crush the efforts of man to think.
Placing man in a conflict between faith and reason, freedom and authority, the miracle and the natural law. The end of the Dark Ages began the day man began to speak and question.
Reason and its cousin doubt is dying in the church of our time. In the church, the mind became weak focusing on the pursuit of the imperfect. Only by doubting is an honest inquiry possible.
In doubting birth is given to inquiry, an honest inquiry. In this birth comes the realization that the church of today is the creation of man having little if anything to do with God.
This habit of living without thinking, without doubt, carries over into every aspect of life, in politics, in our choices how to live and eat.
This is the challenge of our time. The same challenge that took us out of the Dark Ages.
We are an emanation (an extension) from an undefined original property. Being an emanation, this original property lives on within making the road we travel the road of the sovereign. It is a road well traveled.
Walk this road of the sovereign with devotion to your neighbor and misfortune is replaced with a road through calm waters, shade and the sunshine of God.
The Clergy - Parasites or Producers, Show Horses or Work Horses
I remember the peace, the flowers, the calmness of the time when I was a child. I remember the beauty of the world. Time was slow and inviting with no fears and concerns. All were neighbors.
The man who cut my hair, the polite gentleman accepting my money to see a movie, the kind lady who walked me safely across the road to where I learned to read, add and subtract, all of these were people dear then and dear now. In church my eyes became fixated upon Jesus standing on a cloud holding a sheep with a smile.
Those sharing the above experiences are to study these experiences and discover the secrets of those days of unity and love weaving these secrets into the fabric of today’s despair and division.
In life there are the Show Horses and the Work Horses. When days are rough it is the Show Horses who run like cowards hiding in the barn with the Work Horses heading out courageously facing and conquering the despair and division of the world.
The Show Horses pursue the easy way focusing on their own lives to the exclusion of their neighbors. The Work Horses strive endlessly, tirelessly, to discover the secret of a world of unity and love. The Show Horses are Parasites. The Work Horses are Producers.
The ideas and visions shared by our ancestors, yesterday’s Work Horses, who built America, live on in today’s Work Horses, today’s Producers.
The Parasites want you to see your brothers and sisters, wherever living as your enemy. They define your conversation to focus on your neighbor as your enemy, the reason for your despair, ignoring the needs of your neighbor. That is the neighbor different from you, of a different religion, a different color, a different sexual preference.
The people intended to be your servants as a political leader either keep silent or condone this behavior. And,
The clergy fail to respect the people as the children of God teaching them not to think and failing to protect them.
The clergy walk among the Parasites giving us low church attendance, low political involvement, criminal behavior and the search for happiness in alcohol, drugs, and fake religions.
Today's Thought
“How can it that in our wonderful century there are still some people so constructed that they cannot raise their eyes from the hellish darkness of their Gothic age to the bright flame of the sun?” Francois Rabelain (1490-1553)
This question asked some 500 years ago relevant then remains so today. Then as now man continued the struggle to assert his freedom from an authoritative church. Man continued the age-old struggle to think for himself casting aside the embracement of the church in its endeavor to crush the efforts of man to think.
Placing man in a conflict between faith and reason, freedom and authority, the miracle and the natural law. The end of the Dark Ages began the day man began to speak and question.
Reason and its cousin doubt are dying in the church of our time. In the church, the mind became weak focusing on the pursuit of the imperfect. Only by doubting is an honest inquiry possible. In doubting birth is given to inquiry, an honest inquiry. In this birth comes the realization that the church of today is the creation of man having little if anything to do with God.
This habit of living without thinking, without doubt, carries over into every aspect of life, in politics, in the economy, in our choices how to live and eat.
Today the line between the church and the market place is a thin line perhaps not even there. The church cannot survive with doubting parishioners and the market place, American capitalism, cannot survive with doubting consumers.
The maxims of the church are man’s maxims not of the Lord. The church and the market place cannot prosper with a man who doubts. Their goal is the same. Oppress, oppress, oppress. Oppress the wages. Oppress civil liberties. Oppress thinking. And dominate the worker for the benefit of the few.
The church and the market place work together because each realize man cannot survive without God, even if this God be a false God created by man, not the God of the Scriptures.
This is the challenge of our time. The same challenge that took us out of the Dark Ages.
