Justice
and the
Nature of Reality
(2010)
God is the whole of everything which is unconditional love
God's offspring - the individual soul
God creates the individual soul. As creations of God, each individual soul is a reflection of God, which is unconditional love. The soul contains no other characteristics.
The physical realm
God teaches the individual soul to become like God via the physical realm of time and space. The physical realm is the teaching place, or school, for individual souls. When the soul becomes immersed within the physical realm it takes on physical form and loses the unity of the unconscious whole.
In the beginning, the very act of creation brought about the fall, which is the division, which is physically manifested in time and space, which is the illusion that keeps us apart from each other. The division itself created an unconscious desire for all of us to return to the unity of the whole, since this is our nature.
The objective
To consciously return to the unity of the unconscious whole, which is unconditional love, which will intern make us creators ourselves. The objective of the division was always to unite once again, but in consciousness. It is the process of unity, which is unconditional love, that is our objective.
The means
To consciously move back into the unconscious whole by surrendering to the will of our nature, which is the will of our creator, which is unconditional love. As you can see, the means is the objective. The means is the end.
Creativity
Stems from being in unconsciousness. Since the unconscious whole is only unconditional love it has no rules and has no boundaries. It is infinite in its forms and manifestations. Everything is a manifestation of this creativity. Our conscious need to control the physical realm, which is time and space, stifles this creativity, since this deviates from the nature of the soul, which is timeless and spaceless.
The will to power - the nature of evil
As individuals begin to gain consciousness, we begin to desire the return to the unity of the unconscious whole. Why? Because the more conscious we become, the more divided we become from the whole. We unconsciously sense that we were once fulfilled: we were free, we were happy, we were creative, we were together with everyone. As we move into consciousness we lose this and we want to regain this. And the most common way to try and accomplish this subconsciously is the individual will to power, which is manifested in the will to control the time and the space; to control the illusion. We want to accumulate power, wealth, material possessions, control over others, etc... all in following our unconscious desire to return to the womb, to return to unity, to return to the whole.
So, we can see how the evil of the world, is not unconsciously evil, and is only consciously evil. This will is the same as the will of the righteous, but only manifested in a different form. The unconscious intention of evil is divine.
Justice
What you do to the outside, you do to the inside.
What you do to others, you do to yourself.
What you see in others, you see in yourself.
What you see in yourself, you see in others.
Outside = Inside
Why? Because we are all unconsciously one in God. And, consciously, we are all looking at who we consciously are, our conscious state of being.
The nature of the universe, which is the conscious manifestation of God, unified under the consciousness of God, is the underlying fabric of the justice of God. Without the unity of the whole, God's justice doesn't exist.
Justice is both a teacher and a protector. Justice teaches and justice protects. Justice protects the innocent from destruction, and at the same time teaches the soul to see what is real. Justice teaches since it automatically gives consciousness what it creates. Whatever consciousness creates, this is what it receives in return. Justice protects because when consciousness deviates from the nature of the soul, consciousness is protected by moving it back into unconsciousness.
As we grow older we move more and more into our consciousness, which makes decisions and has free will. There are two roads to follow: The first road is to deviate from our nature, which results in unconsciously move back into unconsciousness. God does this to protect us from the conscious pain caused by deviation from our nature. The second road is to choose our nature, which results in consciously move back into unconsciousness.
When consciously committing an evil act upon another, you are consciously destroying yourself. Because of the justice of God, you must experience inside what you created outside. Yet, because of the nature of our soul, which is unconditional love, which is a creation of the eternal love and mercy of God, you are protected from destruction by unconsciously moving back into unconsciousness.
What you consciously do to others, you consciously do to yourself. When you consciously destroy others, you automatically consciously destroy yourself. Similarly, what you unconsciously do to others, you unconsciously do to yourself. Therefore, unconsciously, you are always loving others and yourself unconditionally. This is always the same because of the nature of the soul. The unconscious love protects the conscious acts of destruction.
Therefore, unconsciously, evil people are loving themselves, while involved in conscious evil acts. But, consciously they are not. Consciously, evil is acting with evil to the outside world, and therefore receives the same in return, on a conscious level. But, unconsciously the evil that we are portraying to the outside world is a manifestation of unconditional love, and therefore, unconsciously we are doing the same to ourselves. When will the conscious mind realize that this has been going on for centuries?
We attempt to return to the womb by forcing time and space, which creates more time and more space. Our return happens when we quit forcing time and space and return to our nature of unconditional love. When we submit our will to God, we allow things to happen around us and within us, and allow the natural feeling of unconditional love to invade our spirit, thereby perceiving the true nature of everything around us and within us.
When the conscious mind acts in evil ways, it, in return, receives what it has done to the external world. This is the justice of nature, and of God. But, the divine essence of God is unconditional love and therefore, we can't act outside of this essence. Consciously we might think that we can, but we can't, because the unconscious mind is always present, and the intention of the conscious mind is always a function of what is in the unconscious mind.
What the conscious mind does to the outside, it also does to it's own conscious mind - this is justice. What you do to others, you do to yourself. Yet, the unconscious soul is always present in everyone, whether individuals are conscious of its presence or not. So, if the conscious mind destroys others, the same will happen to that individual on a conscious level, yet the soul provides protection to the mind and soul of the individual. This is how the mercy and justice of God interact, through conscious and unconscious states of being.
As the conscious mind is on the will to power, as it starts to gain power over the physical world, it feels as if it is getting closer to the unity with the whole, which is the unconscious objective. Yet, it doesn't feel good because what they are doing to the outside they are also doing to the inside. Yet, the most "evil" people, those who never give up on their will to power, are those who unconsciously most want the union with the whole, and this is why they exert so much effort and force in trying to accomplish this objective. They can see the physical environment becoming more and more in their control, and more and more in their grasp, somehow, they see that they are getting closer to the union with the whole, but they never get there. And since God drags these people back into unconsciousness in order to protect them from themselves, they are less and less conscious of what they are doing. Unconsciously, they are always giving and receiving unconditional love. But, when faced with conscious acts of kindness and love, these individuals begin to gain consciousness and come out of their unconscious state. The biggest sinners are ever so close to heaven because they have already strongly developed the will, the ability to choose, but they are just confused as to the means of achieving what they want, what everyone wants, a return to their own natures, which is unity in unconditional love. When faced with love, which will prompt their perception of their own unconditional love, the sinners can easily turn to a deep conscious perception of their own unconscious soul.
On an unconscious level sinners are not suffering, which shows the unconditional mercy of God. When the "evil", who are all of us, realize and perceive the unconditional nature of the love of God toward his creation, we will love God like never before, and it is this knowledge of the love of God which will eventually turn us toward it. Love can only cure evil. Evil can never be coerced, or forced into turning to love. Only love can turn evil to love. Likewise, love can never be coerced or forced.
It is our ability to perceive the unconscious goodness in everyone that will set us free and allow us to reverse the spirit of a culture gone astray. If we are not able to perceive this, we will not be able to express the true nature of our love within each of our souls. It is perception and knowledge that will allow us to arrive at our objective. But, lacking the perception and the knowledge, we must use faith and heart to feel our way through the dark periods of ignorance before obtaining the perception of truth.
The innocent are us all, the sinners and the victims of the sinners. And the justice of nature takes care of the conscious actions that create harm on others. Ignorance is innocence.
Ignorance is lack of knowledge of our true nature. When in ignorance, we can cause conscious pain on others and on ourselves, but never unconscious pain on ourselves and on others.
When we give up on the will to power, we begin to understand, and therefore move into our own unconsciousness. Our conscious mind begins to travel into our own unconscious being. This process of giving up on the will to power, of control over the physical world, of control over the external world, is the process of moving back to God, our creator. We begin to perceive the conscious pain of the individuals on the will to power, and therefore feel compassion toward them. We also can witness the unconscious unconditional love of these same individuals, and therefore it is easy to love them. The more one's conscious mind goes deeper and deeper into one's own unconsciousness, the easier it is to witness the unconsciousness of others. It is this witnessing of unconditional love in everyone that provides such joy and freedom in this world. To look into the soul of an individual and witness yourself and your creator unified.
And so as children grow, they move from the source into the physical realm and slowly into deeper and deeper levels of consciousness. Depending what that individual does with this consciousness, this consciousness will move back to unconsciousness, where the source is, or will remain in conscious suffering. The suffering of consciousness is due to the separation of the soul and the conscious mind of the individual.
As we consciously move back into our unconscious soul, we begin to unite with the souls of everything that surrounds us in nature. In the physical realm this can't be done, but in the spiritual realm, we can accomplish this unity. When the consciousness of a generation, as a whole, moves back into the unconscious soul, the physical will become spiritual and the spiritual will become physical. But, until then, we can only witness the unity of the unconscious whole through the spiritual, or internal realm.
If we are in pure unconsciousness, we can't experience conscious pain. Pure unconsciousness is lost as we grow old and gain our own individual consciousness. We can receive it back by consciously choosing to go back. This is why Jesus says that you must be like a child when you enter the kingdom of heaven. Children are already in the kingdom of heaven, but in order for us older folks to get there we have to consciously go back as children. So, older and younger souls can be in a similar state of being, but some of us are going and some of us are returning. Are you coming or going? It is hard to tell if someone is coming from or going to? This is why it is hard to tell whether animals and plants are older souls or younger souls than human beings. Certain animals, like dogs, are definitely more like children, but who knows if they are coming or if they are going. Just like trees, are they coming or going? Are they gaining consciousness and therefore coming, or are they consciously going back to the unconscious soul? I don't know. As human beings, we like to think that we are at the pinnacle of the evolutionary scale, but we might be at the bottom as well, depending if the rest of the animal, plant, and natural kingdom are coming or going. Of course, some might be coming and others might be going, so we could be somewhere in the middle as well. And, of course, hierarchies are only a practice of the conscious mind, since there is no hierarchy in the realm of the unconscious love of God, which is timeless and spaceless.
So, as we go deeper and deeper into sin, God protects us by sending us back to deeper and deeper levels of unconsciousness. We lose our consciousness, and therefore feel less pain, but at the same time move back in consciousness as children are. Yet, these individuals are not choosing to do so, and therefore will eventually still have to come through this stage. This way God protects the sinner and in similar fashion also protects the victims of the sinner, by sending them back into unconsciousness. Both will have to come into consciousness, and then choose to go back to unconsciousness. People that experience severe traumas or pain move into a state of unconsciousness which protects them from this intense pain.
The unconscious unconditional love of the sinner and the innocent are what protects them from unbearable pain and from their own destruction. The soul can never be destroyed. The soul is and will always be one; indivisible; indestructable; timeless; eternal; spaceless.
Love always is the shield from evil. Love, when faced with evil, will always defeat evil because love is looking out for the best interest of the evil and therefore the evil is defeated because love is what evil wants. Kindness always defeats force, because everything is a manifestation of pure kindness, and when faced with kindness, we recognize our true natures. When faced with force, we reject it, because it is not our true nature. When the kind battles the forceful, there is no competition. It is a sure win for kindness. We all bow to pure acts of kindness.
Man's Justice
It is not our job to establish justice on earth, because God has already taken care of this. This is the problem with human beings and their current spiritual crisis. Since they don't perceive God's justice, they want to impose justice on earth themselves, and since they can't perceive that God's justice already exists on earth, they dig themselves deeper and deeper into their own sin, stemmed in control of the physical environment. Our perception of God's justice will lead us to follow God's commandments more purely, and more consciously, which is the law of unconditional love.
God's system of justice
God is unconditional love. Therefore, everything that exists is a manifestation of this unconditional love. Depending on our own personal level of consciousness, we can perceive this or not. If we can't perceive this, we can achieve this perception through faith. This perception will allow us to understand the nature of God's creation and therefore consciously choose to follow our own natures. Consciously choosing to rebel against our natural state of unconditional love is what we call evil. Of course, behind our evil facade, is our divine unconsciousness, which is always present. There is no way to break free from our nature, that of unconditional love, which would be to break free from the consciousness of our creator; and we are always reflections of our creator, whether we want to or not, whether we perceive it or not.
Given this model of the universe, where does Justice come into play? Justice is the very nature of the universe. The essence of the universe is unconditional love. There is no time and no place where this essence is not present in its entirety. Therefore justice always exists. Whether we can perceive this state of existence of the universe depends on our state of consciousness.
Why does God allow for innocent people to suffer? God protects the innocent with unconsciousness.
How does God punish sinners for their evil deeds? God does not punish, since God is unconditional love. When sinners commit very evil acts - which is their attempt at controlling the space and time, which is their attempt at returning to their true natures, which is unconditional love - God protects them with unconsciousness, since sinners are also innocent, since they don't have the knowledge of their own nature, and they are actually trying hard to reach their true nature. The root of sin and evil is always ignorance of the truth. There is only one force in the universe, that of unconditional love. Therefore, God does not punish, but only protects, and only provides comfort, and only loves. The more the sinners sin, the more time and space they attempt to control and the further away they are to their nature of unconditional love. God protects these individuals with unconsciousness to avoid them unbearable conscious pain. This protection from God, or mercy of God, is the love that will eventually bring the sinners to realize the nature of their own beings, that of unconditional love.
The conscious pain of the sinner is absorbed by the love of the righteous and by the love of their very own souls, which is ultimately the love of God. The conscious effort that the sinners exert to control the space and the time serve as the motivation for the righteous to love the sinners. Sinners feed the righteous and vice-versa. They are actually both righteous, but one is conscious while the other is unconscious of their righteousness. To perceive the righteousness and love of the sinners is the ultimate joy because it is the ultimate perception of the truth of the universe.
Self-righteousness is as big a sin as any. The self-righteous view a reality of the outside world that is an illusion. They don't perceive the reality of nature, which is unconditional love of everything and everyone. The self-sacrifices of the self-righteous make them as bitter as the self-indulgent, since self-righteousness is a form of self-indulgence. It is this concentration on the self which brings about the most need to control the external space and the external time. It is our ability to love unconditionally our fellow human beings which will bring about our freedom. With faith, this perception can be maintained, since our senses trick us into a mistaken perception. With faith, we can maintain this vision which will transform the world.
Repentance (Remission of Sin) and Forgiveness share the same characteristics. They prompt us into conscious perception of our own unconscious selves, which occurs by perceiving the unconscious soul of the other.
Give to everyone who asks
and to those who you think might need it
Feel the goodness of all human beings
Journey through the life of everyone around you
and you will see the seed of light
at the end of everyone's tunnel
the kernel that brings about
all of the goodness
all of the joy
all of the shouts of everlasting bliss
that come from the hearts and souls of
every human being
Share your innocence with those around you
for they will see themselves in you
and you will see yourself in them
Share your love with everyone
don't leave anyone behind
don't let the sky go dark without
sending a nice gesture
and a pleasing smile
Have a nice day today
and tomorrow
the soul will never leave you
you will always be safe
and you will never be alone
for we are the children of unconditional love
The mirror
Everything that we are looking at outside is actually a reflection of what is inside. The greater the necessity to see more outside, in order to see more inside, the less we see outside and thus the less we see inside. The more we seek control of the outside, the less we see outside, and thus the less we see inside, thus the more we need more of the outside.
As we move into consciousness, we need to see the infinite nature of the inside, and thus we will see the infinite outside. As we move into consciousness, we need to shift from absorbing the outside in, to bringing the inside to the outside. We initially absorb the outside to the inside, but then we need to shift toward looking inside, which will show us the infinite nature of the outside. Therefore, in order to see what is outside, we must look inside first. Life is a process of absorbing first, absorbing the outside to the inside, which is the process of moving from the unconscious to the conscious. Then, we move on to the giving stage, which is moving from the inside to the outside. As we look inside, we will see the eternal in ourselves and give unconditionally to the outside, which is the process of unity and creation simultaneously.
The mechanism of faith
Faith is the complete giving of oneself to the creator. Faith can never be done with force. Faith is always grateful of what has already happened in the future. It is in gratitude where faith begins. Believing is more than seeing, it is actually experiencing without ever being there. It is in true belief where we let go of control and leave the rest to our creator. We do everything that we can on our end, immersed within faith, without forcing anything because we know it has already happened. And the rest is left to the creator to give. We are at this point entirely and completely at our creator's mercy, since we are not forcing the issue. Yet, when prompted to act, and when your belief begins to come into the physical realm before your eyes, you must act without fear and with authority, ceasing the moment which you have been given, and making real your belief, which was real all along. Then, in gratitude we give thanks for the favor granted and acknowledge our own powerlessness. It is not us, but our creator who gives. It is our job to give ourselves entirely to our creator by acting within the means of the creator. The means are always stemmed in unconditional love. This is where we come from and this is where we are going. The path is the destination and the destination is the path. Acting in gratitude within these means, we can accomplish the unaccomplishable.
Identity within the physical
It is important to understand the temporary nature of your body, and the temporary nature of the physical in general, and the permanent nature of your soul. In today's culture, we usually tie many aspects of our identities to our physical bodies, which is detrimental to your perception of your true nature. You are renting your body, you are not your body. The soul has no characteristics that a physical body has. This means that you are not a man or a woman, you are not intelligent or stupid, you are not ugly or gorgeous, you are not even a human being, you are only unconditional love. You learn to become all of these physical characteristics as you become conscious of your physical body and your physical environment. Your identity is constantly being reinforced by your physical characteristics and your physical environment, and therefore we see in today's society the strong desire to modify one's physical characteristics and environment. But, the soul is the same in everyone and everything.
Our only true identity is the nature of our soul, which is unconditional love. There is no other defining characteristic that defines who you are. Yet, since we are in the physical realm, which is the school for the consciousness, we don't see our true nature. Therefore, we begin to define ourselves through our physical form and its multiple characteristics. We learn how to be what we look like and where we live. The physical forms begin to create identity in the individual. Yet, it is always our unconscious desire to return to the womb, to return to unconditional love. But, we don't know how to do it. You are not your body, nor your culture, nor your language, nor your genes. You are only one thing - unconditional love.
The future of the household
Looking at the great human family and where it lies in 2010. Where do we go from here? Given our historical trend toward smaller and smaller households, it would seem that this trend will inevitably continue until, of course, we reach one person per household. But, if we look at this trend from a different perspective, we can see that some have already reached this stage. There are many people who choose to live alone, and economically, can do it without a problem. Beyond that, many people have already been "coming back", meaning that people don't need to be together out of economic necessity, yet choose to be together. Others, of course, are coming back in that they choose to be together, despite their economic necessity to be together.
As previously mentioned, in previous writings, once we are alone with ourselves, there is nowhere else to go but back to larger groups. This is the inevitably natural thing to do. So, as we see in many developed countries, couples are not together out of economic necessity, but out of a choice to remain together, because they want to and not because they need to. This shows a reversal in the trend toward one person per household. Let us not make the mistake of claiming developed countries are more advanced than less developed countries. We never really know the intention behind the unity of households, whether it is out of necessity or out of a true desire for unity, which is independent of whether the necessity exists or not. Are they coming or are they going? Some can be coming and some can be going already, so the same dynamic exists as in the rest of the animal and plant kingdom, and the rest of the natural world for that matter; the lest lively bit of matter, being the one with less control, or consciousness, can be either coming or going.
We don’t know exactly how the shape of the human family will transform once love becomes the prevalent cultural experience of a population. What we know for certain is that cooperation will trump competition in all aspects of domestic life, which will create larger and large families, creating more neighbors coming together, more communities, more cooperatives, and an endless array of new and exciting forms of unity on a local level will begin to prop up. This higher level of cooperation will reflect on the macro, affecting all our social, political, and economic organizations. The control of these macro institutions will also begin to decline and decentralization will begin to happen all across the world, as opposed to increasing levels of centralization, which is the trend right now. Once decentralization gains momentum, we will eventually merge our work with our leisure. The jobs that will be available will be the jobs that kids want to do, full of creativity, and not the dreaded call centers, and tedious modern-day jobs that predominate in the world today, which are more and more lacking in creative potential. If, for example, the arts and sports were decentralized, we could actually have thousands and thousands of people making a living from these professions. These are professions that most kids want to do, because it involves creativity and freedom of expression, which is a reflection of our true nature. People would be more interested in the local neighborhood soccer league, and actually pay to see these games, than in the ever more centralized soccer world where only the best of the best are watched on TV. Today, nobody is interested in local anything. It is all global, the best of the best. This is why nobody can be an actor for a living or be a soccer player. Once centralization is replaced with decentralization, our professions will be what we enjoy and what we love to do, and only these jobs will be available.
In order for this to happen, we have to master the spiritual realities that will allow us to free ourselves from ourselves. And this always starts on a micro level. We are now at a point, where competition and individuality has created a world that isolates on a micro level and unites on a macro level, which creates great discrepancies with our true nature. Thus, the high level of conscious suffering in the world today. Very few people are happy with their jobs. There is so much pressure on families and on individuals to compete and be the best, which is destroying our society. Competition breeds division, which breeds mistrust, which breeds inefficiencies, which breeds hatred and destruction. Cooperation breeds unity, and all the opposite effects. But, this must begin internally with our perception of what is real and what is illusion. Once the truth is established, we can begin to heal, and begin to cooperate. This is why spiritual reality is so important, because it is the source of everything that we create here on earth.
Current perception of spiritual reality is mistaken for one simple reason, it doesn't work. Physical reality is not in contradiction with spiritual reality since they both come from the same source. But, we have to distinguish what is real from what is not real. This is our mission and objective. If it is real, it will work in the physical world. If it is not real, it will fail in the physical world. This is why we have a spiritual crisis in the modern world, because the model of development that countries are supposed to follow doesn't work. It doesn't create a good result. It has taken us ten thousand years because we have finally reached a point where we can't escape any longer, because we have arrived at the individual on a micro level, and we can't get any smaller than that. In the past, the technological solutions of agriculture and industry that seemed to solve our domestic problems by making it possible to dissolve the micro unit and distance ourselves from those individuals that we didn't like, came to an end with the individual. We can no longer solve our problems with more technology, because alone in our rooms, we are not self-fulfilled and therefore we are in crisis. We can no longer blame our partner, as in the past. We can only blame ourselves.
In the past, there was always hope in technology, which would provide an outlet for our micro units, we could simply run away from our problems and live more and more isolated with less and less significant human relationships. Instead of solving the conflicts and problems of intimate relationships we simply ran away from others, which was facilitated by technology. Now, though, there is nowhere else to go.
Actually, as a side note, there is one more step in the ongoing isolation of human beings that can take place if technology allows it. If technology creates a way to live independent of the cities, through sustainable sources of energy, food, and water, then we have another hundred years to go until we truly populate the earth. All those who claim that the world is overpopulated have not driven around outside of our cities lately. Besides the urban centers, the earth is mostly uninhabited. If we develop the technology to live anywhere we want with electricity, food, and water, and a job, independent of the cities, we can still become even more isolated from each other. But, unless this new technology comes about, we will be forced to change. If new technology allows us to inhabit the rest of the planet, then we are simply buying more time until we have to face ourselves. And, currently, since this technology is not in existence, we are in crisis.
This generation is realizing that something is wrong, but they can't quite put their finger on it. It is not working and there is nowhere else to go. The macro units can't get any bigger and the micro units can't get any smaller. We will be forced to change as a specie or else not survive. But, as I once heard, greatness is always on the brink of destruction, so there has always been a plan out there for us. We were growing as a specie, and moving into consciousness, but now we have to move that gained consciousness in the correct direction, and destruction is the perfect motivation for change and reform. This change will be a big one, because the paradigm of the past ten thousand years must be changed. We have all of the answers through the spiritual teachers of the past, but we have not practiced these things as a culture because we didn't need to in order to survive, but now we do. The hope that once existed in our human culture is rapidly dissipating and must be addressed with change in our perception of truth.
The black hole
Since the essence of our existence is unconditional love, which is the substance of our individual soul, which is timeless and spaceless, meaning that we can be anywhere and anytime simultaneously, then the physical dimension we are currently in is some type of an illusion which keeps us from what is real. We live within a dimension which possesses many of the same characteristics of a black hole. First, the external is only a reflection of what is internal. Therefore, what is in front of you, is not real and therefore we are stuck in some sort of a prison. The reality of the external is not in front of us. What you are actually seeing is what is inside of you, and not what is really out there. We live in some sort of inferior dimension that is keeping us from a greater reality. It is sort of like living in a 2 dimensional world. In this world, we might think that we can see everything that is apparently in front of us, and develop physical laws that regulate the 2 dimensional physical world. Yet, within a 2 dimensional world, you can never perceive the greater outside reality. This is why we can never quite put our finger on the physical laws of nature. Our current physical laws never quite interconnect with each other, because we can't perceive the reality of what is out there.
Somehow, it seems that love will be the only way out of this dimension. Love and light seem to have many of the same properties, and this is why they are intermingled many times.
From within our dimension, light has a speed. From within the dimension of light, or from light's own perception, it has no speed and no time and no matter. So, the relativity of dimensions depends on your state of being. This is the source of heaven and hell, and all of the theology of religion and different levels of glory. Depending on your state of being, this is what you will perceive, and thus the physical laws around you will act accordingly. So, the physical laws around you are a function of your state of being. And physical laws vary according to the dimension they are in. Two dimensional space has different laws than three dimensional space, which is different from four dimensional space-time. I'm sure there is another dimension out there that will open up another realm of perception for us, giving us greater understanding of the true nature of reality.
The c constant is only valid from our point of view. It no longer applies once you change your perspective, making the c constant no longer valid, and therefore, all of the laws established by the c constant become invalid as well.
It seems that faith and love interact to take us outside of our current perspective and thereby act independently of the laws of this dimension. Somehow faith can change what is outside. Faith is not us acting to change the outside, but acting to change the inside in order to see something different outside.
Faith and love interact because faith can't act without love. If you are using faith to control the external without acting within the law of love, then you are going to fail. Why? Because faith is based upon changing the inside in order to change the outside, and not the other way around. This is the mystery of faith. When we act to change the inside, we do it as a means in itself, and thereby, the external changes without force. In actuality it is our perception that changes, and not really the physical. We can just see what we never saw before. We see beyond the illusion that we could never see past previously.
When we act to change the inside, we act within the means of love because this is what we are inside. The more we act in harmony with our inside, which is the law of love, the more we can experience the miracles of faith.
Faith comes with great will. It is not a passive act. It is very active. But, it is active internally, (which may or may not reflect in being externally active) which will change the outside. And actually it will change your outside, not necessarily everyone else's outside, yet it will appear to you as if everyone else's outside has also changed.
Relativity can lead you to think of a very lonely world, where everyone lives in their own relative perception of the world, but the glue that binds it all together is love. We can experience similar states of being, and merge into one through love, which will take us from our lonely relativity to the communal absolute unity of the whole.
The black hole is actually a place where each individual can go within this relativity. Solitude is the black hole. The state of being that is divided and isolated from the whole. Of course, as mentioned before, this is only true on a conscious level, but unconsciously we are all unified as one. This is the illusion vs. the reality. The illusion is conscious and the reality is subconscious. The objective of course is to bring the conscious to the unconscious. Faith and love are key in bringing this about.
As mentioned in previous writings, the cycle of life of one individual is parallel to the cycle of life of humanity, which is also parallel to the cycle of one day, awaking and then sleeping, returning to the unconscious, which is the real world, while this world is the world of illusion. It has been said that this conscious life is the dream and our dreams while sleeping is the reality. Your dreams always give you a good indication of how you are doing in this world. The decisions you are making in your dreams are usually indicative of the decisions that you would be making in this world if given the opportunity. We must always strive to change our insides in this world in order to constantly perfect our decision making process toward the divine nature of God.
God is of course a mystery to us, and thereby unconditional love is also a mystery. There is no determined form or manifestation of what unconditional love is, how it acts, and what it is. Unconditional love is the essence of everything that exists and thereby we can see the diversity of everything that is and can never be in the position to categorize these manifestations since they are eternal in their ways. But, we do know the simple law of love, that it is never self-centered, and is always uniting by thinking of the other and not of the self. The simplicity of the parable of the Good Samaritan is always with us. The question is always, what is better for the other, and not, what is better for me. It is this question that will also produce thousands of different answers depending on your perspective. What we also know is that love never forces others, and is always in a position of surrender to God and its will, which prompts the need for faith in order to experience unconditional love and the glory of God.
When you look at another, are you looking at the other, or are you looking at your self? Your own perspective of the other, which when looked upon with malice, becomes your own isolated reality, and is not real. And thereby, your perception of malice literally isolates you from the individual souls out there, because you live in your own isolated reality. You are only perceiving the illusion and not the reality, therefore you become isolated within your own illusion. But, when your perspective is more close to the reality of the unconscious, that of unconditional love, then it is not isolated, and becomes unified with others. This is how love is the only way to unite the isolation that we are experiencing. Our isolation is as much a physical isolation as it is a psychological and spiritual isolation. It doesn't seem to be a physical isolation because many of us live in big cities surrounded by people, but the realities of each individual, when deviated from the reality of the unconscious, creates an independent world for each, isolated both psychologically and physically from those around them. Our vision of malice of others, of the illusion, is what keeps you inside of your own illusion, isolated from others' reality. This is also another peak into the mechanism by which God protects the innocent. The sinners are actually isolated, like in jail, both physically and spiritually speaking. They can't get into the world of the righteous because they are perceiving a world of make believe and therefore exist on a different plain of existence, a different dimension, from others. But, the righteous can get into the world of the sinners and fish them out with unconditional love.
It is in deep states of love where perception of the real world is opened to us, and then closed again when our state of being changes. When we are in mundane states of being, we perceive a totally different reality than while in a deep state of love. The two states of being are incoherent with each other. This is why there is a deep disconnect in relationships amongst couples, depending on the states of being that each individual is in during a particular time period. Some days we can't understand what we felt toward our partner just a few days prior, which is a function of our changing states of being. We must always strive to remember the deep states of love that we experience, and the promises that we make to ourselves while in these states, because it is in these states where we perceive what is real, rising above the illusion of this world. The gap between illusion and reality must always be filled with faith.
You can experience reality by striving to always remain within the spirit of the almighty God, that of unconditional love, while being confronted with evil. If you do this, you will not know that you are being confronted by evil, because you will not see the evil, you will only see the unconditional love of the other, and you will be liberated from evil. This is the promise of the great spiritual leaders, from Moses, to Christ, to Krishna, to Buddha, to Joseph Smith, to Bahaullah, to Mohammed, to Abraham, to Peter, to all of those individuals who have walked this earth in order to teach us about the ways of our creator. We will not look into the hearts of the evil with evil, since evil is by its very nature divine. We look at evil with unconditional love and this will be our salvation, the salvation of all. May God's spirit reign in our hearts and in our minds for ever and ever Amen.
Appendix - Short Essays
September 11, 2001 - Why people don't see the obvious - An open invitation (July 28, 2009)
The smoking gun that 9/11 was an inside job, for me, is Tower 7. The official version is that Tower 7 collapsed because of fires in the building. No rational human being can believe that this tower fell the way it did without some other type of intervention, which indicates that there were individuals on the inside that participated in some way in the events of September 11, 2001.
The usual response to this argument is this: "Well, who do you think did it, the government? Do you think the government is capable of doing such an evil act? And if they did, do you think they could have covered it up? You're crazy!" I always insist though, "look at the building, look at the building; buildings don't fall this way". But, inevitably, the conversation is never about the building. It is never about the feasibility of the fact that fires made tower 7 collapse the way it did, but always about the feasibility of the implications of an inside job of the events of 9/11. This is a classic case of Hans Christian Andersen's The Emperor's New Clothes. Let's not look at what is, but let's look at the feasibility of the implications of what is, and therefore, the more outrageous the act of deception, the easier the deception, since the more outrageous the implications.
The nature and magnitude of such an event and it's potential consequences on everyday life in the United States doesn't fit inside most people's current view of the world. People's perception of themselves, their culture, their government, and even their religion are many times intertwined and some events just don't fit inside the picture that people paint of the world, and how it works, and therefore, the most natural thing to do is to reject the event, without question, without investigation.
What does this say about people's perception of what is real in the outside world? It says that human beings don't really look at what is clearly in front of them; they look with their beliefs about reality; they look with their accepted world-view. People believe and then see. They don't see and then believe. There are many things that are clearly in front of us, real and tangible, but can't be seen because our belief systems don't allow us to.
It doesn't matter if tomatoes start falling from the sky tomorrow, people will not see them if their ingrained beliefs go against the implications of tomatoes falling from the sky. Of course, people don't have an ingrained belief against the implications of tomatoes falling from the sky, and so we would clearly see the tomatoes, but most people have an ingrained belief against the implications of a 9/11 inside job, and therefore, don't see it, or choose not to see it.
It is clear that if you accept the fact that 9/11 was an inside job, most people must change their current world-view. A complete re-thinking of their ideas about politics, religion, culture, and most things they believe to be true, which has a direct impact on family life, relationships, friendships, and most aspects of everyday life. All of these elements are essential components of the identity of any human being and address many of the essential questions of life - Who am I? Why am I here? What is the objective of life? Where are we going? What is the nature of human beings? What is the nature of good and evil? To venture into these areas of our hearts and minds is no small task and even to the most willing amongst us, this can be a very overwhelming journey, which makes the acceptance of 9/11 as an inside job an even more frightening insight. As we can see, whether conscious or subconscious, resistance to this event is not only natural, but strongly encouraged and even enforced because of the potential consequences.
We can see the same reaction from individuals that are deeply compromised with one particular religion, political party, or other social organization. If you present to them any type of insight that will force them to question their belief system, they get very angry and will go to great measures to defend these beliefs; it is taken as a personal attack upon the very essence of who they are as individuals. Debates with these people are never really about the issues discussed, but about the intellectual and spiritual consequences that these issues might have on their underlying belief systems.
Another obvious consequence of accepting that 9/11 was an inside job is that, if it is true, then the secure world we once thought we lived in suddenly disappears. Because, clearly, if a group of individuals can perform such a cruel act and get away with it, then nobody is safe. Your safety and that of your loved ones would clearly not be in your control. There is no place you could go, there is no weapon you could buy, and there is no protection system you could use to protect yourself from these individuals. If they wanted to eliminate you, they would. Period. This is a very frightening realization, which attacks one of our most primal instincts, security for ourselves and for our loved ones. Therefore, it is instinctively not convenient to think that we live in this type of a world.
So, as we dig deeper and deeper into the psyche of normal human beings, we can see that in order to believe in this type of conspiracy, not only do many of us need to re-configure our whole belief system, but we also need to accept the fact that we are not safe, and that there are forces of violence that are above our system of justice. By denying the obvious facts of 9/11, people are only acting in accordance with their most natural instincts, protecting their identities and the basic safety net for themselves and their loved ones. Therefore, following this same line of thought, the real threat does not come from the insiders who participated in the events of 9/11, but from the people who are trying to expose them, because even if these allegations are true, the threat would only surface if the truth is exposed.
Why expose the truth? Why bother?
Something awakens inside of us, that forces us to come out. We are the only architects of this world, but we don't act alone. There is a presence that is larger than ourselves and is acting through us. It is the presence of God on earth. God is the presence of love. Love is a mystery, but we know what it is because our hearts feels it at times for something or someone special to us. This is love. This is the presence of God. This force will lead us to a land that we can one day call our own. This force will lead us to a land where one day we can cry without fear and laugh without pain. This force will lead us to a land where one day we can fulfill our passions and multiply our talents. We are the sons and daughters of Love, for in it we are Free.
It is through the "means" by which God's presence is felt, not the "ends". The ends are only a product of the means by which we live our lives. When we concentrate on the means of our ways, and not the ends of our ways, we can come back to a place that is more pleasant and more loving for ourselves and for those around us.
Yet, we must not shut our eyes to the outside world and live in a world of make-believe where everything is made of gold. If we are the architects of this world, then we must see what is really happening and address the issues of our world, because it is our world. When something is not working, we must rise to the occasion and attempt to fix it. When a loved one is in need, we must not ignore these needs, but step up and provide a helping hand.
My intention in writing about 9/11 is not to stir up people against the government. My intention in writing about 9/11 is not to fix the government, for what is the government, but a reflection of our very own spirit as a people? What is the government, but a mirror image of ourselves? The government is never the problem. The problem is always the people. I invite us all to look into ourselves and re-examine our world view; to re-examine our beliefs about ourselves, our family, our neighborhood, our country, and our world; to re-examine our beliefs about politics, religion, and culture. Open your heart to a new way of thought and perhaps even a new way of worship. Open your heart to the possibility of something new in yourself, something that is waiting inside of you to come out. Express what you feel and what lays dormant, for in it is the treasure we are all waiting to hear, and see, and feel. Open your mind to the possibility of a new way of life that has never been thought of before. Open your soul to the infinite possibilities of God, for through man, many things are possible, but only through God are all things possible, for only through God can we overcome the power of violence, and return, once again, to the land of the free and home of the brave.
The Defiance of Compassion (May 22, 2010)
We will not fold to the teachings of our fathers, and their fathers, and their fathers before them. We will stand defiant in the face of tyranny and in the face of evil. The people who practice tyranny and hate and evil ways are reflecting the internal state of their beings; they are reflecting their broken internal lives. We stand in defiance against this form of being. We will not fight this type of evil with evil. We will not obey the instructions provided to us by our forefathers, because we stand in defiance of them; We stand in defiance of them because we can see the world that they have made for us; a world full of tyranny and hate and division. What we stand for today, in face of what the world wants to give us, is not hate, is not tyranny, what we stand for today is compassion for those who practice hate and practice tyranny. We can see their broken lives. We can see the desolate valley of their minds, and we can see the empty desperation in their souls. We feel compassion for your pain, and we hope that you can come out of your world of tyranny and of hate. We stand in defiance of who you are and what you represent by showing compassion toward who you are and what you represent. We stand defiant because we refuse to continue to live in a world where tyranny and hate and evil exist. We stand in defiance today because we refuse to live the way you want us to live. We stand in defiance today because we choose, we choose today to change, we choose to change. We are tired of hatred, we are tired of division, we are tired of death, we are tired of deceit, we are tired of lies, we are tired of taking the easy way out. We are tired of following the path that has been taught to us, because we choose to live in a different world than the one that is in front of us. We stand in defiance today of your world, of this world. We stand in defiance today of the world that has been handed down to us. We stand in defiance and we show this defiance by showing compassion. Only in our compassion can we defy what we see. Only in compassion can we challenge the powerful. Only in compassion can we redeem our past. Only in compassion can we seek to overthrow the culture of death and the culture of ignorance. In defiance we stand, and in compassion we pray. We pray for all of those who practice hate, who practice tyranny, who practice the ways of death and deceit. We pray for their well being. We pray for the light of the Lord to shine upon their hearts and to show them a better way. We pray for them and want to let them know today that a new day has come. That a new day is upon us. That a new day is brewing in our hearts. And this new day is a day of defiance, because we have been given choice above all things, we have been given choice. We have been give the choice to be defiant to your ways, and the only way to show our defiance is through compassion because this is what you most despise, and this is what you most ignore. We pray for you on this day, that one day we will walk in peace, that we will walk by the hand chanting the songs of our forefathers, but not the songs and anthems of war and of death, but the songs that kept us human in the darkest of hours we will chant for peace and for unity and for community. We will chant for compassion and cooperation. We will chant for the devil to come out of hiding and to show his face out in the open, and we will also show compassion for him, for we see his broken life as well. We stand defiant. We stand defiant. We will not fold. We will not give in. We will not take the easy road and follow the footsteps that we have been taught, and follow the footsteps of our forefathers, for we know what kind of a world we have been left with. We will always honor their courage and their valor, but will stand in defiance of their culture of death. You can take us to our graves, you can rip out our hearts, you can challenge us, and ridicule us, and use your deceit to manipulate, but you can never take what we will always give you, that is our compassion and our love. Because we choose to defy you with compassion, because a new day has come, and a new day is upon you. May the grace of our Lord always be upon us in his name, Amen.
The Institution
Every institution has the objective of growth, or at least, viability (survival), which is in direct correlation with the will to power, which is the root of all evil. If one's objective is survival, then ultimately when one extends that will to its limit, one will always end up with the need for absolute power, absolute control, and absolute safety. This is in direct opposition to the objective of human beings, who are intrinsically bound by the objectives and characteristics of the soul, which is ultimately, unconditional love. If one's objective is service, then when we extent that will to its limit, one ends up with unconditional love. Therefore, the objective of the institution is in direct contradiction with the objective of the individual; Growth/Sustainability/Viability vs. Unconditional Love/Service to others. Even though institutions might have mission statements that proclaim that their main goal is service to others, the intricate design of any institution is always ultimately geared toward remaining viable as an institution. Therefore, if there is ever a defining decision between service and viability, then viability will always take precedence, because according to the logic of the institution, if the institution doesn't remain viable, then the institution can't serve. We see the nature of evil prop up in the logic of the institution, which is always that of the means justifying the ends. The logic of the institution is in direct contradiction to the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is based on the nature of the soul, which is unconditional love, which is based on the idea that the means and the ends are one, in and of themselves. The "means justifying the ends" logic of the institution is the beginning of the end of the service-oriented mission statement of the institution, which slowly but surely deviates from service to the other extreme of absolute power, absolute control, and absolute safety. It is in the defining decisions, on the edge of truth, where one defines who one will ultimately serve... mammon or God. This decision will define who one will ultimately become; one becomes what one serves. And since we are all bound by the individual soul, which is simply a part of the universal soul, we are ultimately destined to serve and eventually become as God, or, if you prefer, we are already there, we just can't perceive it yet. Mammon is here to simply teach what is real from what is illusion.
You can determine the ultimate objective and thereby the intention of something by observing the means by which they operate. If the objective is viability, then the ultimate intent and therefore the means will be self-centered, even though it might not seem this way on the surface. If the objective is unconditional love then the ultimate intent and therefore the means are "other-centered", and viability is not an issue. It is in the intention where we see who we truly are. And true intention is very difficult to determine. It is only in extreme moments of being where one's true intention is determined. Within the mundane, true intention is grey and undetermined. It is in the extremes where our true colors become transparent for all to see, including ourselves.
This is why we must make the choice to be willing to surrender our viability in the name of the ultimate intention, which is unconditional love, which is the face of God on earth, which is manifested in everything around us. This is ultimate obedience to God and only to God. This is the ultimate defining decision that you have to make for yourself if you are to serve God: Are you willing to love the other unconditionally? No matter what the other does, thinks, or perceives, are you still willing to love the other? Are you willing to sacrifice your own viability for the viability of another, through the power of unconditional love? It is this decision that will ultimately define who you are, and therefore define what you will think, what you will do, and what your true intentions will be through out your life. It is in the extremes where we define who we are. It is in the extremes where we can achieve the balance, the serenity, and the peace that we have been seeking for so long.
We are in a period of time which is characterized by the extreme nature of everything around us. Underlying all of this is an extreme war of ideas between "survival of the fittest" vs. "unconditional love"; one being centered on the self and the other being centered on the other.
As we have seen time and time again, during times of true definition, the institution will always choose viability over service, the self over the other, preservation over love, which ultimately ends up in Satan's kitchen. The institution, in the name of service, with the intent of preservation, can act with malice without the need for any particular individual within that institution to act with malice. It is the summation of complex specialized tasks that creates the will of the institution. The institution can bypass individual responsibility by dividing an objective into multiple seemingly mundane tasks which can amount to the embodiment of evil. Nobody is responsible and nobody has done anything wrong. It is in complexity where institutions hide from their true intentions. It is in simplicity and transparency where individuals flourish and institutions fail.
Viability (or survival) always ends up in the will to power. There is actually no real transformation from the will to survive to the will to power; it is based on the same energy, which is self-centeredness. The will to power is always thinking that it is striving for survival, because it is actually trying to survive. It is slowly dying because it is empty and void of meaning and purpose, and therefore keeps on trying to "survive" while on the will to power. When survival is attained, there is no sense of being, there is no energy and no life. In face of such a void, one feels threatened and drives further and further down the self-centered rabbit-hole of survival of the fittest with no end in sight. The objective of this path can never be fulfilled since the objective becomes absolute power, absolute control, and absolute safety, which is an illusion which can never be attained.
The reason why viability in and of itself can never be fulfilled is because it's concentrated on the self, and the true objective of the self is to connect with everything outside of the self because everything outside of the self is part of the self. The true intention of individuals who travel down the rabbit-hole of survival of the fittest is to connect, since everyone has a soul which has an unconscious desire for connection with everything else.
Yet, the soul can't experience this connectivity until it surrenders to the will of God, which is when it becomes purposeful, with meaning, thereby regaining life. This is when the soul is transformed from survival-driven to service-driven, from self-centered to others-centered. The purpose of nature is not survival, but connection. Within the self-centered comfortable world of never-ending consumption there is no life to be found. We must have the courage and the resolve to leave the consumer-driven self and venture out into the cold, dark world of uncertainty. We can't afford to hide any longer. This is part of the process of surrendering, of letting go of the control you think you have over your world. What you will find will pump life back into you.
An institution can never surrender its power and will to God, since the institution has no soul and is not part of a larger organism, and thereby will always continue on the will to power, or the will to survive, which is why institutions are always bound for failure. Every institution fails because no institution can sustain an idea that is larger than itself. The institution doesn't have a soul and thereby doesn't possess the qualities that a soul possesses. The institution, at first allows, then promotes, and eventually coerces individuals to consciously deviate from the intricate nature of their own soul. The institution eventually becomes an artificial entity of its own, with an artificial mind of its own, independent from the individuals who serve its very own purposes, and will do anything in its power to remain viable. The robots that we feared from science fiction movies are already here in the form of institutions.
What the institution does from day one is search for individuals that will support its own viability and places them in strategic positions that will ensure that this happens. It is these individuals who hold the keys to the institutions, their strategic management, and hold the power to make key decisions. On the surface, these individuals might not appear to be in important positions of power within the institution, which is intricately designed by the institution itself as a means to protect itself from foreign enemies. They are usually not the public figures that represent the institution to the outside world. They are usually entrenched within the mechanisms itself of the institution, and as mentioned, the complexity that the institution creates is geared at creating less agency for individuals, which creates less sense of responsibility, which creates more protection for the institution. With individual agency out of the way, the institution can thrive. Institutions love to hear the following statement, "I did nothing wrong, I was simply following orders". Institutions seek obedience, without question, in other words, they seek unconditional obedience from the individuals who serve them. This mentality creates a culture of obedience within the institution and at the same time a culture of persecution and condemnation against those who deviate from the established mindset of the institution.
In order for an institution to gain control and power over others, thereby contributing to its growth and viability as an institution, it needs converts; it needs each individual's agency to submit to the agency of the institution. And in order for this to happen, the individual agent must perceive the good will of the institution, on the one hand, or it must perceive the indispensability of the institution for their own personal survival. Thereby, the institution is always in campaign to show its good nature on the one hand, and spread fear on the other. In ignorance, we love the institution, and in fear, we need the institution for our own survival. The institution always seeks others to perceive of its own indispensability; the slogan being: without the institution you will not be able to make it.
But, as mentioned, intentionality is always the hardest thing to perceive under normal conditions, and can only be perceived under extreme conditions. As more and more extreme conditions appear, institutions will have to reveal their true colors to the individuals that support them, and this will be the ultimate demise of their viability. As individuals perceive the true nature of the institution they will choose to no longer support the institution, and despite the efforts of the institution to coerce and control the individuals within them, the institution will fall, since the more they have to exert coercion and control, the more individuals become aware of the true nature of the institution... and the stack of cards comes tumbling down. Individuals will give up the control they thought they had, that was instilled in them by the institution, and turn to God for answers, for they will need to face their fears directly, without the comfort of the institution backing them up. We can see why the enemy of every institution has always been the agency of the individuals that support it. The institution always wants to subdue the agency of its individuals into complete obedience of its own will. And as we know, the institution has no soul, and therefore its agency always becomes corrupted.
What will eventually happen in the new era is the dissolution of the institutions of humankind. There is nothing of worth that an institution can do more effectively than an individual or group of individuals. With the collapse of the institutions, we will see the decentralization of the macro units, and expansion of the micro units within compassion and love. The conversion will occur with the rebirth of the culture of humankind, through the surrendering of our individual will to God, to nature's will, which is that of unconditional love.
We must understand that the institution itself is an illusion. Without individuals there is no institution. Institutions do not really exist; they are simply a mental construct. We must always remember that behind the will to power of any individual person, is the will to love unconditionally. This is the nature of all human beings. This perception of what is real, of what is underneath the surface, is what we strive to attain on a daily basis. Yet, behind the will to power of the institution there is nothing, there is a void, since it doesn't possess a soul and is not connected to any larger organism, and ultimately doesn't really exist.
Follow your soul, not the institution that claims to be protecting and serving you. Don't bother going against the institutions either since they neither reason nor bother with truth; don't bother with creating opposition campaigns against the institutions since this will only inflate their artificial will. What we must do is follow our soul, and remain in the spirit of our soul, that of unconditional love toward all human beings, all beings, all things. This is the means and the end. There are no ends in themselves. There are only means. This is why the means is the end. If we do our part, the institutions will take care of themselves. By simply doing our small part, in simplicity, in humility, and in faith we can bring back the kingdom to earth.
We do not want to survive. We want to live. We want to love life. Seeking survival is seeking your own slow death. Seeking life is seeking love, which is ultimately service to God. There are infinite ways to seek love in your life, from the infinitely simple to the infinitely complex, from the infinitely small to the infinitely large. Whatever your way, don't worry about your life, don't worry about survival, yet seek with all of your courage and all of your heart the kernel of unconditional love that is waiting to hatch into life. Don't be afraid, the good Lord is always present. If you do this, your world will change, and our world will follow.
The key for the individual is to always understand the indestructible bond that love and freedom share. In order to gain more freedom, we must venture more and more into the rabbit hole of unconditional love. While our culture proclaims the opposite, this is the great deceiver. Freedom in and of itself has no life and leads only to destruction. On the other hand, love's gift is always freedom.
The love we seek is independent of conditions and therefore is independent of the actions, feelings, thoughts, and perceptions of the other. Since we already know what others truly are, we can already perceive past the veil of illusion into each individual's soul, where a sea of love lies dormant waiting for you to see what they could never see for themselves, and when you see in them what they could never see in themselves, they will awake to the truth of who they are and what the world truly is, while you will awake to the truth of who you truly are. In others we see ourselves since the other is who we truly are.
It is the unconditional nature of love which grants freedom, and the more unconditional our love becomes, the more we move into the realm of freedom. The freedom you have been looking for is already here, but the great paradox has always been, as Jesus so eloquently stated, that if one tries to save one's life it will be lost; and if one gives one's life it will be saved. Thereby it is through our faith that we can achieve the unachievable, seeing beyond the veil into reality.
Technology
Truly efficient and effective technology is the technology of God, which is clearly seen everywhere in nature, from a small flower, to a giant galaxy, to our own human bodies. For us to try and become creators ourselves without invoking the creator is absurd. Only in the creator and our submission to our creator will we be exposed to the technology of nature and its true secrets. Everyone knows that the technology that human beings have managed to develop is but a grain of sand on the beach of the technology of God, that of mother earth, and nature. In order to connect to this technology, we must be willing to connect with our creator.
Technology represents power, and greater power always comes with a need for greater responsibility. When we try to manipulate nature to fit our own objectives, we attempt to bypass this universal truth. The manipulation of nature occurs when we follow the idea of means justifying the ends. For the institution, it is always the objective that is important and not the means by which we accomplish the objective. The means, for the institution, is but an insignificant nuisance that must be carried out in order to accomplish the greater objective.... "by any means necessary" is the slogan of choice for the institution. This mentality is always trying to force its objective since it is always striving for its own survival, and as it becomes more and more entrenched within the void of self-centeredness, it tries to use ever-greater measures to force the issue. What eventually ends up happening in the artificial complexity of the institution, which currently is spinning out of control with the rapid pace of technological advances, is that we make another being suffer in order to diminish our own suffering. We can never think that by making another being suffer, we can improve our own state of being, and thereby diminish our own level of suffering. What we do to others, we do to ourselves. There is no escaping this universal truth, because we are the other.
Therefore, in order to truly discover the magic of technology, we must surrender to nature and stop attempting to control it. Correct means will take us to where we need to be, no coercion necessary. Correct means leads to correct ends.

In the world of the new era, you must make a choice between non-violence and violence. There is no in between. It is like chocolate ice-cream or vanilla. The reason why there is no in between is because if you choose non-violence, it must be all the way. It must be all the way because there is no room for any type of power structure in this world-view. All power structures, or forms of state or locally enforced laws, such as army, militia or police force, are inadmissible in this world-view. Why not? Because if you believe in non-violence, you can't have other people do your dirty work for you. In other words, you can't preach non-violence and declare that you will personally not use violence to control a situation, but yet acknowledge the need for a power structure in place to control certain situations.
For those individuals that make the choice of non-violence, they need only concentrate on their own lives and those around them. The more local, the better. Trying to make sense of larger and larger structures, is nonsensical and leads you nowhere. We must constantly concentrate on our world within, always striving to remain in the spirit of the almighty, that of unconditional love, which intern makes your perception of your surroundings clearer and closer to reality. This constant inducing of the spirit will bring you closer to individuals around you, and at the same time release you from the control mechanisms of the larger social and political structures surrounding you, taking you out of that reality and inserting you into the reality of the kingdom of God on earth.
We must do our small part and leave the rest to God. Only God knows what will result from our actions. Only God knows what type of society will emerge. It is our responsibility to remain within the spirit of the almighty, and act within this sprit.
God's offspring - the individual soul
God creates the individual soul. As creations of God, each individual soul is a reflection of God, which is unconditional love. The soul contains no other characteristics.
The physical realm
God teaches the individual soul to become like God via the physical realm of time and space. The physical realm is the teaching place, or school, for individual souls. When the soul becomes immersed within the physical realm it takes on physical form and loses the unity of the unconscious whole.
In the beginning, the very act of creation brought about the fall, which is the division, which is physically manifested in time and space, which is the illusion that keeps us apart from each other. The division itself created an unconscious desire for all of us to return to the unity of the whole, since this is our nature.
The objective
To consciously return to the unity of the unconscious whole, which is unconditional love, which will intern make us creators ourselves. The objective of the division was always to unite once again, but in consciousness. It is the process of unity, which is unconditional love, that is our objective.
The means
To consciously move back into the unconscious whole by surrendering to the will of our nature, which is the will of our creator, which is unconditional love. As you can see, the means is the objective. The means is the end.
Creativity
Stems from being in unconsciousness. Since the unconscious whole is only unconditional love it has no rules and has no boundaries. It is infinite in its forms and manifestations. Everything is a manifestation of this creativity. Our conscious need to control the physical realm, which is time and space, stifles this creativity, since this deviates from the nature of the soul, which is timeless and spaceless.
The will to power - the nature of evil
As individuals begin to gain consciousness, we begin to desire the return to the unity of the unconscious whole. Why? Because the more conscious we become, the more divided we become from the whole. We unconsciously sense that we were once fulfilled: we were free, we were happy, we were creative, we were together with everyone. As we move into consciousness we lose this and we want to regain this. And the most common way to try and accomplish this subconsciously is the individual will to power, which is manifested in the will to control the time and the space; to control the illusion. We want to accumulate power, wealth, material possessions, control over others, etc... all in following our unconscious desire to return to the womb, to return to unity, to return to the whole.
So, we can see how the evil of the world, is not unconsciously evil, and is only consciously evil. This will is the same as the will of the righteous, but only manifested in a different form. The unconscious intention of evil is divine.
Justice
What you do to the outside, you do to the inside.
What you do to others, you do to yourself.
What you see in others, you see in yourself.
What you see in yourself, you see in others.
Outside = Inside
Why? Because we are all unconsciously one in God. And, consciously, we are all looking at who we consciously are, our conscious state of being.
The nature of the universe, which is the conscious manifestation of God, unified under the consciousness of God, is the underlying fabric of the justice of God. Without the unity of the whole, God's justice doesn't exist.
Justice is both a teacher and a protector. Justice teaches and justice protects. Justice protects the innocent from destruction, and at the same time teaches the soul to see what is real. Justice teaches since it automatically gives consciousness what it creates. Whatever consciousness creates, this is what it receives in return. Justice protects because when consciousness deviates from the nature of the soul, consciousness is protected by moving it back into unconsciousness.
As we grow older we move more and more into our consciousness, which makes decisions and has free will. There are two roads to follow: The first road is to deviate from our nature, which results in unconsciously move back into unconsciousness. God does this to protect us from the conscious pain caused by deviation from our nature. The second road is to choose our nature, which results in consciously move back into unconsciousness.
When consciously committing an evil act upon another, you are consciously destroying yourself. Because of the justice of God, you must experience inside what you created outside. Yet, because of the nature of our soul, which is unconditional love, which is a creation of the eternal love and mercy of God, you are protected from destruction by unconsciously moving back into unconsciousness.
What you consciously do to others, you consciously do to yourself. When you consciously destroy others, you automatically consciously destroy yourself. Similarly, what you unconsciously do to others, you unconsciously do to yourself. Therefore, unconsciously, you are always loving others and yourself unconditionally. This is always the same because of the nature of the soul. The unconscious love protects the conscious acts of destruction.
Therefore, unconsciously, evil people are loving themselves, while involved in conscious evil acts. But, consciously they are not. Consciously, evil is acting with evil to the outside world, and therefore receives the same in return, on a conscious level. But, unconsciously the evil that we are portraying to the outside world is a manifestation of unconditional love, and therefore, unconsciously we are doing the same to ourselves. When will the conscious mind realize that this has been going on for centuries?
We attempt to return to the womb by forcing time and space, which creates more time and more space. Our return happens when we quit forcing time and space and return to our nature of unconditional love. When we submit our will to God, we allow things to happen around us and within us, and allow the natural feeling of unconditional love to invade our spirit, thereby perceiving the true nature of everything around us and within us.
When the conscious mind acts in evil ways, it, in return, receives what it has done to the external world. This is the justice of nature, and of God. But, the divine essence of God is unconditional love and therefore, we can't act outside of this essence. Consciously we might think that we can, but we can't, because the unconscious mind is always present, and the intention of the conscious mind is always a function of what is in the unconscious mind.
What the conscious mind does to the outside, it also does to it's own conscious mind - this is justice. What you do to others, you do to yourself. Yet, the unconscious soul is always present in everyone, whether individuals are conscious of its presence or not. So, if the conscious mind destroys others, the same will happen to that individual on a conscious level, yet the soul provides protection to the mind and soul of the individual. This is how the mercy and justice of God interact, through conscious and unconscious states of being.
As the conscious mind is on the will to power, as it starts to gain power over the physical world, it feels as if it is getting closer to the unity with the whole, which is the unconscious objective. Yet, it doesn't feel good because what they are doing to the outside they are also doing to the inside. Yet, the most "evil" people, those who never give up on their will to power, are those who unconsciously most want the union with the whole, and this is why they exert so much effort and force in trying to accomplish this objective. They can see the physical environment becoming more and more in their control, and more and more in their grasp, somehow, they see that they are getting closer to the union with the whole, but they never get there. And since God drags these people back into unconsciousness in order to protect them from themselves, they are less and less conscious of what they are doing. Unconsciously, they are always giving and receiving unconditional love. But, when faced with conscious acts of kindness and love, these individuals begin to gain consciousness and come out of their unconscious state. The biggest sinners are ever so close to heaven because they have already strongly developed the will, the ability to choose, but they are just confused as to the means of achieving what they want, what everyone wants, a return to their own natures, which is unity in unconditional love. When faced with love, which will prompt their perception of their own unconditional love, the sinners can easily turn to a deep conscious perception of their own unconscious soul.
On an unconscious level sinners are not suffering, which shows the unconditional mercy of God. When the "evil", who are all of us, realize and perceive the unconditional nature of the love of God toward his creation, we will love God like never before, and it is this knowledge of the love of God which will eventually turn us toward it. Love can only cure evil. Evil can never be coerced, or forced into turning to love. Only love can turn evil to love. Likewise, love can never be coerced or forced.
It is our ability to perceive the unconscious goodness in everyone that will set us free and allow us to reverse the spirit of a culture gone astray. If we are not able to perceive this, we will not be able to express the true nature of our love within each of our souls. It is perception and knowledge that will allow us to arrive at our objective. But, lacking the perception and the knowledge, we must use faith and heart to feel our way through the dark periods of ignorance before obtaining the perception of truth.
The innocent are us all, the sinners and the victims of the sinners. And the justice of nature takes care of the conscious actions that create harm on others. Ignorance is innocence.
Ignorance is lack of knowledge of our true nature. When in ignorance, we can cause conscious pain on others and on ourselves, but never unconscious pain on ourselves and on others.
When we give up on the will to power, we begin to understand, and therefore move into our own unconsciousness. Our conscious mind begins to travel into our own unconscious being. This process of giving up on the will to power, of control over the physical world, of control over the external world, is the process of moving back to God, our creator. We begin to perceive the conscious pain of the individuals on the will to power, and therefore feel compassion toward them. We also can witness the unconscious unconditional love of these same individuals, and therefore it is easy to love them. The more one's conscious mind goes deeper and deeper into one's own unconsciousness, the easier it is to witness the unconsciousness of others. It is this witnessing of unconditional love in everyone that provides such joy and freedom in this world. To look into the soul of an individual and witness yourself and your creator unified.
And so as children grow, they move from the source into the physical realm and slowly into deeper and deeper levels of consciousness. Depending what that individual does with this consciousness, this consciousness will move back to unconsciousness, where the source is, or will remain in conscious suffering. The suffering of consciousness is due to the separation of the soul and the conscious mind of the individual.
As we consciously move back into our unconscious soul, we begin to unite with the souls of everything that surrounds us in nature. In the physical realm this can't be done, but in the spiritual realm, we can accomplish this unity. When the consciousness of a generation, as a whole, moves back into the unconscious soul, the physical will become spiritual and the spiritual will become physical. But, until then, we can only witness the unity of the unconscious whole through the spiritual, or internal realm.
If we are in pure unconsciousness, we can't experience conscious pain. Pure unconsciousness is lost as we grow old and gain our own individual consciousness. We can receive it back by consciously choosing to go back. This is why Jesus says that you must be like a child when you enter the kingdom of heaven. Children are already in the kingdom of heaven, but in order for us older folks to get there we have to consciously go back as children. So, older and younger souls can be in a similar state of being, but some of us are going and some of us are returning. Are you coming or going? It is hard to tell if someone is coming from or going to? This is why it is hard to tell whether animals and plants are older souls or younger souls than human beings. Certain animals, like dogs, are definitely more like children, but who knows if they are coming or if they are going. Just like trees, are they coming or going? Are they gaining consciousness and therefore coming, or are they consciously going back to the unconscious soul? I don't know. As human beings, we like to think that we are at the pinnacle of the evolutionary scale, but we might be at the bottom as well, depending if the rest of the animal, plant, and natural kingdom are coming or going. Of course, some might be coming and others might be going, so we could be somewhere in the middle as well. And, of course, hierarchies are only a practice of the conscious mind, since there is no hierarchy in the realm of the unconscious love of God, which is timeless and spaceless.
So, as we go deeper and deeper into sin, God protects us by sending us back to deeper and deeper levels of unconsciousness. We lose our consciousness, and therefore feel less pain, but at the same time move back in consciousness as children are. Yet, these individuals are not choosing to do so, and therefore will eventually still have to come through this stage. This way God protects the sinner and in similar fashion also protects the victims of the sinner, by sending them back into unconsciousness. Both will have to come into consciousness, and then choose to go back to unconsciousness. People that experience severe traumas or pain move into a state of unconsciousness which protects them from this intense pain.
The unconscious unconditional love of the sinner and the innocent are what protects them from unbearable pain and from their own destruction. The soul can never be destroyed. The soul is and will always be one; indivisible; indestructable; timeless; eternal; spaceless.
Love always is the shield from evil. Love, when faced with evil, will always defeat evil because love is looking out for the best interest of the evil and therefore the evil is defeated because love is what evil wants. Kindness always defeats force, because everything is a manifestation of pure kindness, and when faced with kindness, we recognize our true natures. When faced with force, we reject it, because it is not our true nature. When the kind battles the forceful, there is no competition. It is a sure win for kindness. We all bow to pure acts of kindness.
Man's Justice
It is not our job to establish justice on earth, because God has already taken care of this. This is the problem with human beings and their current spiritual crisis. Since they don't perceive God's justice, they want to impose justice on earth themselves, and since they can't perceive that God's justice already exists on earth, they dig themselves deeper and deeper into their own sin, stemmed in control of the physical environment. Our perception of God's justice will lead us to follow God's commandments more purely, and more consciously, which is the law of unconditional love.
God's system of justice
God is unconditional love. Therefore, everything that exists is a manifestation of this unconditional love. Depending on our own personal level of consciousness, we can perceive this or not. If we can't perceive this, we can achieve this perception through faith. This perception will allow us to understand the nature of God's creation and therefore consciously choose to follow our own natures. Consciously choosing to rebel against our natural state of unconditional love is what we call evil. Of course, behind our evil facade, is our divine unconsciousness, which is always present. There is no way to break free from our nature, that of unconditional love, which would be to break free from the consciousness of our creator; and we are always reflections of our creator, whether we want to or not, whether we perceive it or not.
Given this model of the universe, where does Justice come into play? Justice is the very nature of the universe. The essence of the universe is unconditional love. There is no time and no place where this essence is not present in its entirety. Therefore justice always exists. Whether we can perceive this state of existence of the universe depends on our state of consciousness.
Why does God allow for innocent people to suffer? God protects the innocent with unconsciousness.
How does God punish sinners for their evil deeds? God does not punish, since God is unconditional love. When sinners commit very evil acts - which is their attempt at controlling the space and time, which is their attempt at returning to their true natures, which is unconditional love - God protects them with unconsciousness, since sinners are also innocent, since they don't have the knowledge of their own nature, and they are actually trying hard to reach their true nature. The root of sin and evil is always ignorance of the truth. There is only one force in the universe, that of unconditional love. Therefore, God does not punish, but only protects, and only provides comfort, and only loves. The more the sinners sin, the more time and space they attempt to control and the further away they are to their nature of unconditional love. God protects these individuals with unconsciousness to avoid them unbearable conscious pain. This protection from God, or mercy of God, is the love that will eventually bring the sinners to realize the nature of their own beings, that of unconditional love.
The conscious pain of the sinner is absorbed by the love of the righteous and by the love of their very own souls, which is ultimately the love of God. The conscious effort that the sinners exert to control the space and the time serve as the motivation for the righteous to love the sinners. Sinners feed the righteous and vice-versa. They are actually both righteous, but one is conscious while the other is unconscious of their righteousness. To perceive the righteousness and love of the sinners is the ultimate joy because it is the ultimate perception of the truth of the universe.
Self-righteousness is as big a sin as any. The self-righteous view a reality of the outside world that is an illusion. They don't perceive the reality of nature, which is unconditional love of everything and everyone. The self-sacrifices of the self-righteous make them as bitter as the self-indulgent, since self-righteousness is a form of self-indulgence. It is this concentration on the self which brings about the most need to control the external space and the external time. It is our ability to love unconditionally our fellow human beings which will bring about our freedom. With faith, this perception can be maintained, since our senses trick us into a mistaken perception. With faith, we can maintain this vision which will transform the world.
Repentance (Remission of Sin) and Forgiveness share the same characteristics. They prompt us into conscious perception of our own unconscious selves, which occurs by perceiving the unconscious soul of the other.
Give to everyone who asks
and to those who you think might need it
Feel the goodness of all human beings
Journey through the life of everyone around you
and you will see the seed of light
at the end of everyone's tunnel
the kernel that brings about
all of the goodness
all of the joy
all of the shouts of everlasting bliss
that come from the hearts and souls of
every human being
Share your innocence with those around you
for they will see themselves in you
and you will see yourself in them
Share your love with everyone
don't leave anyone behind
don't let the sky go dark without
sending a nice gesture
and a pleasing smile
Have a nice day today
and tomorrow
the soul will never leave you
you will always be safe
and you will never be alone
for we are the children of unconditional love
The mirror
Everything that we are looking at outside is actually a reflection of what is inside. The greater the necessity to see more outside, in order to see more inside, the less we see outside and thus the less we see inside. The more we seek control of the outside, the less we see outside, and thus the less we see inside, thus the more we need more of the outside.
As we move into consciousness, we need to see the infinite nature of the inside, and thus we will see the infinite outside. As we move into consciousness, we need to shift from absorbing the outside in, to bringing the inside to the outside. We initially absorb the outside to the inside, but then we need to shift toward looking inside, which will show us the infinite nature of the outside. Therefore, in order to see what is outside, we must look inside first. Life is a process of absorbing first, absorbing the outside to the inside, which is the process of moving from the unconscious to the conscious. Then, we move on to the giving stage, which is moving from the inside to the outside. As we look inside, we will see the eternal in ourselves and give unconditionally to the outside, which is the process of unity and creation simultaneously.
The mechanism of faith
Faith is the complete giving of oneself to the creator. Faith can never be done with force. Faith is always grateful of what has already happened in the future. It is in gratitude where faith begins. Believing is more than seeing, it is actually experiencing without ever being there. It is in true belief where we let go of control and leave the rest to our creator. We do everything that we can on our end, immersed within faith, without forcing anything because we know it has already happened. And the rest is left to the creator to give. We are at this point entirely and completely at our creator's mercy, since we are not forcing the issue. Yet, when prompted to act, and when your belief begins to come into the physical realm before your eyes, you must act without fear and with authority, ceasing the moment which you have been given, and making real your belief, which was real all along. Then, in gratitude we give thanks for the favor granted and acknowledge our own powerlessness. It is not us, but our creator who gives. It is our job to give ourselves entirely to our creator by acting within the means of the creator. The means are always stemmed in unconditional love. This is where we come from and this is where we are going. The path is the destination and the destination is the path. Acting in gratitude within these means, we can accomplish the unaccomplishable.
Identity within the physical
It is important to understand the temporary nature of your body, and the temporary nature of the physical in general, and the permanent nature of your soul. In today's culture, we usually tie many aspects of our identities to our physical bodies, which is detrimental to your perception of your true nature. You are renting your body, you are not your body. The soul has no characteristics that a physical body has. This means that you are not a man or a woman, you are not intelligent or stupid, you are not ugly or gorgeous, you are not even a human being, you are only unconditional love. You learn to become all of these physical characteristics as you become conscious of your physical body and your physical environment. Your identity is constantly being reinforced by your physical characteristics and your physical environment, and therefore we see in today's society the strong desire to modify one's physical characteristics and environment. But, the soul is the same in everyone and everything.
Our only true identity is the nature of our soul, which is unconditional love. There is no other defining characteristic that defines who you are. Yet, since we are in the physical realm, which is the school for the consciousness, we don't see our true nature. Therefore, we begin to define ourselves through our physical form and its multiple characteristics. We learn how to be what we look like and where we live. The physical forms begin to create identity in the individual. Yet, it is always our unconscious desire to return to the womb, to return to unconditional love. But, we don't know how to do it. You are not your body, nor your culture, nor your language, nor your genes. You are only one thing - unconditional love.
The future of the household
Looking at the great human family and where it lies in 2010. Where do we go from here? Given our historical trend toward smaller and smaller households, it would seem that this trend will inevitably continue until, of course, we reach one person per household. But, if we look at this trend from a different perspective, we can see that some have already reached this stage. There are many people who choose to live alone, and economically, can do it without a problem. Beyond that, many people have already been "coming back", meaning that people don't need to be together out of economic necessity, yet choose to be together. Others, of course, are coming back in that they choose to be together, despite their economic necessity to be together.
As previously mentioned, in previous writings, once we are alone with ourselves, there is nowhere else to go but back to larger groups. This is the inevitably natural thing to do. So, as we see in many developed countries, couples are not together out of economic necessity, but out of a choice to remain together, because they want to and not because they need to. This shows a reversal in the trend toward one person per household. Let us not make the mistake of claiming developed countries are more advanced than less developed countries. We never really know the intention behind the unity of households, whether it is out of necessity or out of a true desire for unity, which is independent of whether the necessity exists or not. Are they coming or are they going? Some can be coming and some can be going already, so the same dynamic exists as in the rest of the animal and plant kingdom, and the rest of the natural world for that matter; the lest lively bit of matter, being the one with less control, or consciousness, can be either coming or going.
We don’t know exactly how the shape of the human family will transform once love becomes the prevalent cultural experience of a population. What we know for certain is that cooperation will trump competition in all aspects of domestic life, which will create larger and large families, creating more neighbors coming together, more communities, more cooperatives, and an endless array of new and exciting forms of unity on a local level will begin to prop up. This higher level of cooperation will reflect on the macro, affecting all our social, political, and economic organizations. The control of these macro institutions will also begin to decline and decentralization will begin to happen all across the world, as opposed to increasing levels of centralization, which is the trend right now. Once decentralization gains momentum, we will eventually merge our work with our leisure. The jobs that will be available will be the jobs that kids want to do, full of creativity, and not the dreaded call centers, and tedious modern-day jobs that predominate in the world today, which are more and more lacking in creative potential. If, for example, the arts and sports were decentralized, we could actually have thousands and thousands of people making a living from these professions. These are professions that most kids want to do, because it involves creativity and freedom of expression, which is a reflection of our true nature. People would be more interested in the local neighborhood soccer league, and actually pay to see these games, than in the ever more centralized soccer world where only the best of the best are watched on TV. Today, nobody is interested in local anything. It is all global, the best of the best. This is why nobody can be an actor for a living or be a soccer player. Once centralization is replaced with decentralization, our professions will be what we enjoy and what we love to do, and only these jobs will be available.
In order for this to happen, we have to master the spiritual realities that will allow us to free ourselves from ourselves. And this always starts on a micro level. We are now at a point, where competition and individuality has created a world that isolates on a micro level and unites on a macro level, which creates great discrepancies with our true nature. Thus, the high level of conscious suffering in the world today. Very few people are happy with their jobs. There is so much pressure on families and on individuals to compete and be the best, which is destroying our society. Competition breeds division, which breeds mistrust, which breeds inefficiencies, which breeds hatred and destruction. Cooperation breeds unity, and all the opposite effects. But, this must begin internally with our perception of what is real and what is illusion. Once the truth is established, we can begin to heal, and begin to cooperate. This is why spiritual reality is so important, because it is the source of everything that we create here on earth.
Current perception of spiritual reality is mistaken for one simple reason, it doesn't work. Physical reality is not in contradiction with spiritual reality since they both come from the same source. But, we have to distinguish what is real from what is not real. This is our mission and objective. If it is real, it will work in the physical world. If it is not real, it will fail in the physical world. This is why we have a spiritual crisis in the modern world, because the model of development that countries are supposed to follow doesn't work. It doesn't create a good result. It has taken us ten thousand years because we have finally reached a point where we can't escape any longer, because we have arrived at the individual on a micro level, and we can't get any smaller than that. In the past, the technological solutions of agriculture and industry that seemed to solve our domestic problems by making it possible to dissolve the micro unit and distance ourselves from those individuals that we didn't like, came to an end with the individual. We can no longer solve our problems with more technology, because alone in our rooms, we are not self-fulfilled and therefore we are in crisis. We can no longer blame our partner, as in the past. We can only blame ourselves.
In the past, there was always hope in technology, which would provide an outlet for our micro units, we could simply run away from our problems and live more and more isolated with less and less significant human relationships. Instead of solving the conflicts and problems of intimate relationships we simply ran away from others, which was facilitated by technology. Now, though, there is nowhere else to go.
Actually, as a side note, there is one more step in the ongoing isolation of human beings that can take place if technology allows it. If technology creates a way to live independent of the cities, through sustainable sources of energy, food, and water, then we have another hundred years to go until we truly populate the earth. All those who claim that the world is overpopulated have not driven around outside of our cities lately. Besides the urban centers, the earth is mostly uninhabited. If we develop the technology to live anywhere we want with electricity, food, and water, and a job, independent of the cities, we can still become even more isolated from each other. But, unless this new technology comes about, we will be forced to change. If new technology allows us to inhabit the rest of the planet, then we are simply buying more time until we have to face ourselves. And, currently, since this technology is not in existence, we are in crisis.
This generation is realizing that something is wrong, but they can't quite put their finger on it. It is not working and there is nowhere else to go. The macro units can't get any bigger and the micro units can't get any smaller. We will be forced to change as a specie or else not survive. But, as I once heard, greatness is always on the brink of destruction, so there has always been a plan out there for us. We were growing as a specie, and moving into consciousness, but now we have to move that gained consciousness in the correct direction, and destruction is the perfect motivation for change and reform. This change will be a big one, because the paradigm of the past ten thousand years must be changed. We have all of the answers through the spiritual teachers of the past, but we have not practiced these things as a culture because we didn't need to in order to survive, but now we do. The hope that once existed in our human culture is rapidly dissipating and must be addressed with change in our perception of truth.
The black hole
Since the essence of our existence is unconditional love, which is the substance of our individual soul, which is timeless and spaceless, meaning that we can be anywhere and anytime simultaneously, then the physical dimension we are currently in is some type of an illusion which keeps us from what is real. We live within a dimension which possesses many of the same characteristics of a black hole. First, the external is only a reflection of what is internal. Therefore, what is in front of you, is not real and therefore we are stuck in some sort of a prison. The reality of the external is not in front of us. What you are actually seeing is what is inside of you, and not what is really out there. We live in some sort of inferior dimension that is keeping us from a greater reality. It is sort of like living in a 2 dimensional world. In this world, we might think that we can see everything that is apparently in front of us, and develop physical laws that regulate the 2 dimensional physical world. Yet, within a 2 dimensional world, you can never perceive the greater outside reality. This is why we can never quite put our finger on the physical laws of nature. Our current physical laws never quite interconnect with each other, because we can't perceive the reality of what is out there.
Somehow, it seems that love will be the only way out of this dimension. Love and light seem to have many of the same properties, and this is why they are intermingled many times.
From within our dimension, light has a speed. From within the dimension of light, or from light's own perception, it has no speed and no time and no matter. So, the relativity of dimensions depends on your state of being. This is the source of heaven and hell, and all of the theology of religion and different levels of glory. Depending on your state of being, this is what you will perceive, and thus the physical laws around you will act accordingly. So, the physical laws around you are a function of your state of being. And physical laws vary according to the dimension they are in. Two dimensional space has different laws than three dimensional space, which is different from four dimensional space-time. I'm sure there is another dimension out there that will open up another realm of perception for us, giving us greater understanding of the true nature of reality.
The c constant is only valid from our point of view. It no longer applies once you change your perspective, making the c constant no longer valid, and therefore, all of the laws established by the c constant become invalid as well.
It seems that faith and love interact to take us outside of our current perspective and thereby act independently of the laws of this dimension. Somehow faith can change what is outside. Faith is not us acting to change the outside, but acting to change the inside in order to see something different outside.
Faith and love interact because faith can't act without love. If you are using faith to control the external without acting within the law of love, then you are going to fail. Why? Because faith is based upon changing the inside in order to change the outside, and not the other way around. This is the mystery of faith. When we act to change the inside, we do it as a means in itself, and thereby, the external changes without force. In actuality it is our perception that changes, and not really the physical. We can just see what we never saw before. We see beyond the illusion that we could never see past previously.
When we act to change the inside, we act within the means of love because this is what we are inside. The more we act in harmony with our inside, which is the law of love, the more we can experience the miracles of faith.
Faith comes with great will. It is not a passive act. It is very active. But, it is active internally, (which may or may not reflect in being externally active) which will change the outside. And actually it will change your outside, not necessarily everyone else's outside, yet it will appear to you as if everyone else's outside has also changed.
Relativity can lead you to think of a very lonely world, where everyone lives in their own relative perception of the world, but the glue that binds it all together is love. We can experience similar states of being, and merge into one through love, which will take us from our lonely relativity to the communal absolute unity of the whole.
The black hole is actually a place where each individual can go within this relativity. Solitude is the black hole. The state of being that is divided and isolated from the whole. Of course, as mentioned before, this is only true on a conscious level, but unconsciously we are all unified as one. This is the illusion vs. the reality. The illusion is conscious and the reality is subconscious. The objective of course is to bring the conscious to the unconscious. Faith and love are key in bringing this about.
As mentioned in previous writings, the cycle of life of one individual is parallel to the cycle of life of humanity, which is also parallel to the cycle of one day, awaking and then sleeping, returning to the unconscious, which is the real world, while this world is the world of illusion. It has been said that this conscious life is the dream and our dreams while sleeping is the reality. Your dreams always give you a good indication of how you are doing in this world. The decisions you are making in your dreams are usually indicative of the decisions that you would be making in this world if given the opportunity. We must always strive to change our insides in this world in order to constantly perfect our decision making process toward the divine nature of God.
God is of course a mystery to us, and thereby unconditional love is also a mystery. There is no determined form or manifestation of what unconditional love is, how it acts, and what it is. Unconditional love is the essence of everything that exists and thereby we can see the diversity of everything that is and can never be in the position to categorize these manifestations since they are eternal in their ways. But, we do know the simple law of love, that it is never self-centered, and is always uniting by thinking of the other and not of the self. The simplicity of the parable of the Good Samaritan is always with us. The question is always, what is better for the other, and not, what is better for me. It is this question that will also produce thousands of different answers depending on your perspective. What we also know is that love never forces others, and is always in a position of surrender to God and its will, which prompts the need for faith in order to experience unconditional love and the glory of God.
When you look at another, are you looking at the other, or are you looking at your self? Your own perspective of the other, which when looked upon with malice, becomes your own isolated reality, and is not real. And thereby, your perception of malice literally isolates you from the individual souls out there, because you live in your own isolated reality. You are only perceiving the illusion and not the reality, therefore you become isolated within your own illusion. But, when your perspective is more close to the reality of the unconscious, that of unconditional love, then it is not isolated, and becomes unified with others. This is how love is the only way to unite the isolation that we are experiencing. Our isolation is as much a physical isolation as it is a psychological and spiritual isolation. It doesn't seem to be a physical isolation because many of us live in big cities surrounded by people, but the realities of each individual, when deviated from the reality of the unconscious, creates an independent world for each, isolated both psychologically and physically from those around them. Our vision of malice of others, of the illusion, is what keeps you inside of your own illusion, isolated from others' reality. This is also another peak into the mechanism by which God protects the innocent. The sinners are actually isolated, like in jail, both physically and spiritually speaking. They can't get into the world of the righteous because they are perceiving a world of make believe and therefore exist on a different plain of existence, a different dimension, from others. But, the righteous can get into the world of the sinners and fish them out with unconditional love.
It is in deep states of love where perception of the real world is opened to us, and then closed again when our state of being changes. When we are in mundane states of being, we perceive a totally different reality than while in a deep state of love. The two states of being are incoherent with each other. This is why there is a deep disconnect in relationships amongst couples, depending on the states of being that each individual is in during a particular time period. Some days we can't understand what we felt toward our partner just a few days prior, which is a function of our changing states of being. We must always strive to remember the deep states of love that we experience, and the promises that we make to ourselves while in these states, because it is in these states where we perceive what is real, rising above the illusion of this world. The gap between illusion and reality must always be filled with faith.
You can experience reality by striving to always remain within the spirit of the almighty God, that of unconditional love, while being confronted with evil. If you do this, you will not know that you are being confronted by evil, because you will not see the evil, you will only see the unconditional love of the other, and you will be liberated from evil. This is the promise of the great spiritual leaders, from Moses, to Christ, to Krishna, to Buddha, to Joseph Smith, to Bahaullah, to Mohammed, to Abraham, to Peter, to all of those individuals who have walked this earth in order to teach us about the ways of our creator. We will not look into the hearts of the evil with evil, since evil is by its very nature divine. We look at evil with unconditional love and this will be our salvation, the salvation of all. May God's spirit reign in our hearts and in our minds for ever and ever Amen.
Appendix - Short Essays
September 11, 2001 - Why people don't see the obvious - An open invitation (July 28, 2009)
The smoking gun that 9/11 was an inside job, for me, is Tower 7. The official version is that Tower 7 collapsed because of fires in the building. No rational human being can believe that this tower fell the way it did without some other type of intervention, which indicates that there were individuals on the inside that participated in some way in the events of September 11, 2001.
The usual response to this argument is this: "Well, who do you think did it, the government? Do you think the government is capable of doing such an evil act? And if they did, do you think they could have covered it up? You're crazy!" I always insist though, "look at the building, look at the building; buildings don't fall this way". But, inevitably, the conversation is never about the building. It is never about the feasibility of the fact that fires made tower 7 collapse the way it did, but always about the feasibility of the implications of an inside job of the events of 9/11. This is a classic case of Hans Christian Andersen's The Emperor's New Clothes. Let's not look at what is, but let's look at the feasibility of the implications of what is, and therefore, the more outrageous the act of deception, the easier the deception, since the more outrageous the implications.
The nature and magnitude of such an event and it's potential consequences on everyday life in the United States doesn't fit inside most people's current view of the world. People's perception of themselves, their culture, their government, and even their religion are many times intertwined and some events just don't fit inside the picture that people paint of the world, and how it works, and therefore, the most natural thing to do is to reject the event, without question, without investigation.
What does this say about people's perception of what is real in the outside world? It says that human beings don't really look at what is clearly in front of them; they look with their beliefs about reality; they look with their accepted world-view. People believe and then see. They don't see and then believe. There are many things that are clearly in front of us, real and tangible, but can't be seen because our belief systems don't allow us to.
It doesn't matter if tomatoes start falling from the sky tomorrow, people will not see them if their ingrained beliefs go against the implications of tomatoes falling from the sky. Of course, people don't have an ingrained belief against the implications of tomatoes falling from the sky, and so we would clearly see the tomatoes, but most people have an ingrained belief against the implications of a 9/11 inside job, and therefore, don't see it, or choose not to see it.
It is clear that if you accept the fact that 9/11 was an inside job, most people must change their current world-view. A complete re-thinking of their ideas about politics, religion, culture, and most things they believe to be true, which has a direct impact on family life, relationships, friendships, and most aspects of everyday life. All of these elements are essential components of the identity of any human being and address many of the essential questions of life - Who am I? Why am I here? What is the objective of life? Where are we going? What is the nature of human beings? What is the nature of good and evil? To venture into these areas of our hearts and minds is no small task and even to the most willing amongst us, this can be a very overwhelming journey, which makes the acceptance of 9/11 as an inside job an even more frightening insight. As we can see, whether conscious or subconscious, resistance to this event is not only natural, but strongly encouraged and even enforced because of the potential consequences.
We can see the same reaction from individuals that are deeply compromised with one particular religion, political party, or other social organization. If you present to them any type of insight that will force them to question their belief system, they get very angry and will go to great measures to defend these beliefs; it is taken as a personal attack upon the very essence of who they are as individuals. Debates with these people are never really about the issues discussed, but about the intellectual and spiritual consequences that these issues might have on their underlying belief systems.
Another obvious consequence of accepting that 9/11 was an inside job is that, if it is true, then the secure world we once thought we lived in suddenly disappears. Because, clearly, if a group of individuals can perform such a cruel act and get away with it, then nobody is safe. Your safety and that of your loved ones would clearly not be in your control. There is no place you could go, there is no weapon you could buy, and there is no protection system you could use to protect yourself from these individuals. If they wanted to eliminate you, they would. Period. This is a very frightening realization, which attacks one of our most primal instincts, security for ourselves and for our loved ones. Therefore, it is instinctively not convenient to think that we live in this type of a world.
So, as we dig deeper and deeper into the psyche of normal human beings, we can see that in order to believe in this type of conspiracy, not only do many of us need to re-configure our whole belief system, but we also need to accept the fact that we are not safe, and that there are forces of violence that are above our system of justice. By denying the obvious facts of 9/11, people are only acting in accordance with their most natural instincts, protecting their identities and the basic safety net for themselves and their loved ones. Therefore, following this same line of thought, the real threat does not come from the insiders who participated in the events of 9/11, but from the people who are trying to expose them, because even if these allegations are true, the threat would only surface if the truth is exposed.
Why expose the truth? Why bother?
Something awakens inside of us, that forces us to come out. We are the only architects of this world, but we don't act alone. There is a presence that is larger than ourselves and is acting through us. It is the presence of God on earth. God is the presence of love. Love is a mystery, but we know what it is because our hearts feels it at times for something or someone special to us. This is love. This is the presence of God. This force will lead us to a land that we can one day call our own. This force will lead us to a land where one day we can cry without fear and laugh without pain. This force will lead us to a land where one day we can fulfill our passions and multiply our talents. We are the sons and daughters of Love, for in it we are Free.
It is through the "means" by which God's presence is felt, not the "ends". The ends are only a product of the means by which we live our lives. When we concentrate on the means of our ways, and not the ends of our ways, we can come back to a place that is more pleasant and more loving for ourselves and for those around us.
Yet, we must not shut our eyes to the outside world and live in a world of make-believe where everything is made of gold. If we are the architects of this world, then we must see what is really happening and address the issues of our world, because it is our world. When something is not working, we must rise to the occasion and attempt to fix it. When a loved one is in need, we must not ignore these needs, but step up and provide a helping hand.
My intention in writing about 9/11 is not to stir up people against the government. My intention in writing about 9/11 is not to fix the government, for what is the government, but a reflection of our very own spirit as a people? What is the government, but a mirror image of ourselves? The government is never the problem. The problem is always the people. I invite us all to look into ourselves and re-examine our world view; to re-examine our beliefs about ourselves, our family, our neighborhood, our country, and our world; to re-examine our beliefs about politics, religion, and culture. Open your heart to a new way of thought and perhaps even a new way of worship. Open your heart to the possibility of something new in yourself, something that is waiting inside of you to come out. Express what you feel and what lays dormant, for in it is the treasure we are all waiting to hear, and see, and feel. Open your mind to the possibility of a new way of life that has never been thought of before. Open your soul to the infinite possibilities of God, for through man, many things are possible, but only through God are all things possible, for only through God can we overcome the power of violence, and return, once again, to the land of the free and home of the brave.
The Defiance of Compassion (May 22, 2010)
We will not fold to the teachings of our fathers, and their fathers, and their fathers before them. We will stand defiant in the face of tyranny and in the face of evil. The people who practice tyranny and hate and evil ways are reflecting the internal state of their beings; they are reflecting their broken internal lives. We stand in defiance against this form of being. We will not fight this type of evil with evil. We will not obey the instructions provided to us by our forefathers, because we stand in defiance of them; We stand in defiance of them because we can see the world that they have made for us; a world full of tyranny and hate and division. What we stand for today, in face of what the world wants to give us, is not hate, is not tyranny, what we stand for today is compassion for those who practice hate and practice tyranny. We can see their broken lives. We can see the desolate valley of their minds, and we can see the empty desperation in their souls. We feel compassion for your pain, and we hope that you can come out of your world of tyranny and of hate. We stand in defiance of who you are and what you represent by showing compassion toward who you are and what you represent. We stand defiant because we refuse to continue to live in a world where tyranny and hate and evil exist. We stand in defiance today because we refuse to live the way you want us to live. We stand in defiance today because we choose, we choose today to change, we choose to change. We are tired of hatred, we are tired of division, we are tired of death, we are tired of deceit, we are tired of lies, we are tired of taking the easy way out. We are tired of following the path that has been taught to us, because we choose to live in a different world than the one that is in front of us. We stand in defiance today of your world, of this world. We stand in defiance today of the world that has been handed down to us. We stand in defiance and we show this defiance by showing compassion. Only in our compassion can we defy what we see. Only in compassion can we challenge the powerful. Only in compassion can we redeem our past. Only in compassion can we seek to overthrow the culture of death and the culture of ignorance. In defiance we stand, and in compassion we pray. We pray for all of those who practice hate, who practice tyranny, who practice the ways of death and deceit. We pray for their well being. We pray for the light of the Lord to shine upon their hearts and to show them a better way. We pray for them and want to let them know today that a new day has come. That a new day is upon us. That a new day is brewing in our hearts. And this new day is a day of defiance, because we have been given choice above all things, we have been given choice. We have been give the choice to be defiant to your ways, and the only way to show our defiance is through compassion because this is what you most despise, and this is what you most ignore. We pray for you on this day, that one day we will walk in peace, that we will walk by the hand chanting the songs of our forefathers, but not the songs and anthems of war and of death, but the songs that kept us human in the darkest of hours we will chant for peace and for unity and for community. We will chant for compassion and cooperation. We will chant for the devil to come out of hiding and to show his face out in the open, and we will also show compassion for him, for we see his broken life as well. We stand defiant. We stand defiant. We will not fold. We will not give in. We will not take the easy road and follow the footsteps that we have been taught, and follow the footsteps of our forefathers, for we know what kind of a world we have been left with. We will always honor their courage and their valor, but will stand in defiance of their culture of death. You can take us to our graves, you can rip out our hearts, you can challenge us, and ridicule us, and use your deceit to manipulate, but you can never take what we will always give you, that is our compassion and our love. Because we choose to defy you with compassion, because a new day has come, and a new day is upon you. May the grace of our Lord always be upon us in his name, Amen.
The Institution
Every institution has the objective of growth, or at least, viability (survival), which is in direct correlation with the will to power, which is the root of all evil. If one's objective is survival, then ultimately when one extends that will to its limit, one will always end up with the need for absolute power, absolute control, and absolute safety. This is in direct opposition to the objective of human beings, who are intrinsically bound by the objectives and characteristics of the soul, which is ultimately, unconditional love. If one's objective is service, then when we extent that will to its limit, one ends up with unconditional love. Therefore, the objective of the institution is in direct contradiction with the objective of the individual; Growth/Sustainability/Viability vs. Unconditional Love/Service to others. Even though institutions might have mission statements that proclaim that their main goal is service to others, the intricate design of any institution is always ultimately geared toward remaining viable as an institution. Therefore, if there is ever a defining decision between service and viability, then viability will always take precedence, because according to the logic of the institution, if the institution doesn't remain viable, then the institution can't serve. We see the nature of evil prop up in the logic of the institution, which is always that of the means justifying the ends. The logic of the institution is in direct contradiction to the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is based on the nature of the soul, which is unconditional love, which is based on the idea that the means and the ends are one, in and of themselves. The "means justifying the ends" logic of the institution is the beginning of the end of the service-oriented mission statement of the institution, which slowly but surely deviates from service to the other extreme of absolute power, absolute control, and absolute safety. It is in the defining decisions, on the edge of truth, where one defines who one will ultimately serve... mammon or God. This decision will define who one will ultimately become; one becomes what one serves. And since we are all bound by the individual soul, which is simply a part of the universal soul, we are ultimately destined to serve and eventually become as God, or, if you prefer, we are already there, we just can't perceive it yet. Mammon is here to simply teach what is real from what is illusion.
You can determine the ultimate objective and thereby the intention of something by observing the means by which they operate. If the objective is viability, then the ultimate intent and therefore the means will be self-centered, even though it might not seem this way on the surface. If the objective is unconditional love then the ultimate intent and therefore the means are "other-centered", and viability is not an issue. It is in the intention where we see who we truly are. And true intention is very difficult to determine. It is only in extreme moments of being where one's true intention is determined. Within the mundane, true intention is grey and undetermined. It is in the extremes where our true colors become transparent for all to see, including ourselves.
This is why we must make the choice to be willing to surrender our viability in the name of the ultimate intention, which is unconditional love, which is the face of God on earth, which is manifested in everything around us. This is ultimate obedience to God and only to God. This is the ultimate defining decision that you have to make for yourself if you are to serve God: Are you willing to love the other unconditionally? No matter what the other does, thinks, or perceives, are you still willing to love the other? Are you willing to sacrifice your own viability for the viability of another, through the power of unconditional love? It is this decision that will ultimately define who you are, and therefore define what you will think, what you will do, and what your true intentions will be through out your life. It is in the extremes where we define who we are. It is in the extremes where we can achieve the balance, the serenity, and the peace that we have been seeking for so long.
We are in a period of time which is characterized by the extreme nature of everything around us. Underlying all of this is an extreme war of ideas between "survival of the fittest" vs. "unconditional love"; one being centered on the self and the other being centered on the other.
As we have seen time and time again, during times of true definition, the institution will always choose viability over service, the self over the other, preservation over love, which ultimately ends up in Satan's kitchen. The institution, in the name of service, with the intent of preservation, can act with malice without the need for any particular individual within that institution to act with malice. It is the summation of complex specialized tasks that creates the will of the institution. The institution can bypass individual responsibility by dividing an objective into multiple seemingly mundane tasks which can amount to the embodiment of evil. Nobody is responsible and nobody has done anything wrong. It is in complexity where institutions hide from their true intentions. It is in simplicity and transparency where individuals flourish and institutions fail.
Viability (or survival) always ends up in the will to power. There is actually no real transformation from the will to survive to the will to power; it is based on the same energy, which is self-centeredness. The will to power is always thinking that it is striving for survival, because it is actually trying to survive. It is slowly dying because it is empty and void of meaning and purpose, and therefore keeps on trying to "survive" while on the will to power. When survival is attained, there is no sense of being, there is no energy and no life. In face of such a void, one feels threatened and drives further and further down the self-centered rabbit-hole of survival of the fittest with no end in sight. The objective of this path can never be fulfilled since the objective becomes absolute power, absolute control, and absolute safety, which is an illusion which can never be attained.
The reason why viability in and of itself can never be fulfilled is because it's concentrated on the self, and the true objective of the self is to connect with everything outside of the self because everything outside of the self is part of the self. The true intention of individuals who travel down the rabbit-hole of survival of the fittest is to connect, since everyone has a soul which has an unconscious desire for connection with everything else.
Yet, the soul can't experience this connectivity until it surrenders to the will of God, which is when it becomes purposeful, with meaning, thereby regaining life. This is when the soul is transformed from survival-driven to service-driven, from self-centered to others-centered. The purpose of nature is not survival, but connection. Within the self-centered comfortable world of never-ending consumption there is no life to be found. We must have the courage and the resolve to leave the consumer-driven self and venture out into the cold, dark world of uncertainty. We can't afford to hide any longer. This is part of the process of surrendering, of letting go of the control you think you have over your world. What you will find will pump life back into you.
An institution can never surrender its power and will to God, since the institution has no soul and is not part of a larger organism, and thereby will always continue on the will to power, or the will to survive, which is why institutions are always bound for failure. Every institution fails because no institution can sustain an idea that is larger than itself. The institution doesn't have a soul and thereby doesn't possess the qualities that a soul possesses. The institution, at first allows, then promotes, and eventually coerces individuals to consciously deviate from the intricate nature of their own soul. The institution eventually becomes an artificial entity of its own, with an artificial mind of its own, independent from the individuals who serve its very own purposes, and will do anything in its power to remain viable. The robots that we feared from science fiction movies are already here in the form of institutions.
What the institution does from day one is search for individuals that will support its own viability and places them in strategic positions that will ensure that this happens. It is these individuals who hold the keys to the institutions, their strategic management, and hold the power to make key decisions. On the surface, these individuals might not appear to be in important positions of power within the institution, which is intricately designed by the institution itself as a means to protect itself from foreign enemies. They are usually not the public figures that represent the institution to the outside world. They are usually entrenched within the mechanisms itself of the institution, and as mentioned, the complexity that the institution creates is geared at creating less agency for individuals, which creates less sense of responsibility, which creates more protection for the institution. With individual agency out of the way, the institution can thrive. Institutions love to hear the following statement, "I did nothing wrong, I was simply following orders". Institutions seek obedience, without question, in other words, they seek unconditional obedience from the individuals who serve them. This mentality creates a culture of obedience within the institution and at the same time a culture of persecution and condemnation against those who deviate from the established mindset of the institution.
In order for an institution to gain control and power over others, thereby contributing to its growth and viability as an institution, it needs converts; it needs each individual's agency to submit to the agency of the institution. And in order for this to happen, the individual agent must perceive the good will of the institution, on the one hand, or it must perceive the indispensability of the institution for their own personal survival. Thereby, the institution is always in campaign to show its good nature on the one hand, and spread fear on the other. In ignorance, we love the institution, and in fear, we need the institution for our own survival. The institution always seeks others to perceive of its own indispensability; the slogan being: without the institution you will not be able to make it.
But, as mentioned, intentionality is always the hardest thing to perceive under normal conditions, and can only be perceived under extreme conditions. As more and more extreme conditions appear, institutions will have to reveal their true colors to the individuals that support them, and this will be the ultimate demise of their viability. As individuals perceive the true nature of the institution they will choose to no longer support the institution, and despite the efforts of the institution to coerce and control the individuals within them, the institution will fall, since the more they have to exert coercion and control, the more individuals become aware of the true nature of the institution... and the stack of cards comes tumbling down. Individuals will give up the control they thought they had, that was instilled in them by the institution, and turn to God for answers, for they will need to face their fears directly, without the comfort of the institution backing them up. We can see why the enemy of every institution has always been the agency of the individuals that support it. The institution always wants to subdue the agency of its individuals into complete obedience of its own will. And as we know, the institution has no soul, and therefore its agency always becomes corrupted.
What will eventually happen in the new era is the dissolution of the institutions of humankind. There is nothing of worth that an institution can do more effectively than an individual or group of individuals. With the collapse of the institutions, we will see the decentralization of the macro units, and expansion of the micro units within compassion and love. The conversion will occur with the rebirth of the culture of humankind, through the surrendering of our individual will to God, to nature's will, which is that of unconditional love.
We must understand that the institution itself is an illusion. Without individuals there is no institution. Institutions do not really exist; they are simply a mental construct. We must always remember that behind the will to power of any individual person, is the will to love unconditionally. This is the nature of all human beings. This perception of what is real, of what is underneath the surface, is what we strive to attain on a daily basis. Yet, behind the will to power of the institution there is nothing, there is a void, since it doesn't possess a soul and is not connected to any larger organism, and ultimately doesn't really exist.
Follow your soul, not the institution that claims to be protecting and serving you. Don't bother going against the institutions either since they neither reason nor bother with truth; don't bother with creating opposition campaigns against the institutions since this will only inflate their artificial will. What we must do is follow our soul, and remain in the spirit of our soul, that of unconditional love toward all human beings, all beings, all things. This is the means and the end. There are no ends in themselves. There are only means. This is why the means is the end. If we do our part, the institutions will take care of themselves. By simply doing our small part, in simplicity, in humility, and in faith we can bring back the kingdom to earth.
We do not want to survive. We want to live. We want to love life. Seeking survival is seeking your own slow death. Seeking life is seeking love, which is ultimately service to God. There are infinite ways to seek love in your life, from the infinitely simple to the infinitely complex, from the infinitely small to the infinitely large. Whatever your way, don't worry about your life, don't worry about survival, yet seek with all of your courage and all of your heart the kernel of unconditional love that is waiting to hatch into life. Don't be afraid, the good Lord is always present. If you do this, your world will change, and our world will follow.
The key for the individual is to always understand the indestructible bond that love and freedom share. In order to gain more freedom, we must venture more and more into the rabbit hole of unconditional love. While our culture proclaims the opposite, this is the great deceiver. Freedom in and of itself has no life and leads only to destruction. On the other hand, love's gift is always freedom.
The love we seek is independent of conditions and therefore is independent of the actions, feelings, thoughts, and perceptions of the other. Since we already know what others truly are, we can already perceive past the veil of illusion into each individual's soul, where a sea of love lies dormant waiting for you to see what they could never see for themselves, and when you see in them what they could never see in themselves, they will awake to the truth of who they are and what the world truly is, while you will awake to the truth of who you truly are. In others we see ourselves since the other is who we truly are.
It is the unconditional nature of love which grants freedom, and the more unconditional our love becomes, the more we move into the realm of freedom. The freedom you have been looking for is already here, but the great paradox has always been, as Jesus so eloquently stated, that if one tries to save one's life it will be lost; and if one gives one's life it will be saved. Thereby it is through our faith that we can achieve the unachievable, seeing beyond the veil into reality.
Technology
Truly efficient and effective technology is the technology of God, which is clearly seen everywhere in nature, from a small flower, to a giant galaxy, to our own human bodies. For us to try and become creators ourselves without invoking the creator is absurd. Only in the creator and our submission to our creator will we be exposed to the technology of nature and its true secrets. Everyone knows that the technology that human beings have managed to develop is but a grain of sand on the beach of the technology of God, that of mother earth, and nature. In order to connect to this technology, we must be willing to connect with our creator.
Technology represents power, and greater power always comes with a need for greater responsibility. When we try to manipulate nature to fit our own objectives, we attempt to bypass this universal truth. The manipulation of nature occurs when we follow the idea of means justifying the ends. For the institution, it is always the objective that is important and not the means by which we accomplish the objective. The means, for the institution, is but an insignificant nuisance that must be carried out in order to accomplish the greater objective.... "by any means necessary" is the slogan of choice for the institution. This mentality is always trying to force its objective since it is always striving for its own survival, and as it becomes more and more entrenched within the void of self-centeredness, it tries to use ever-greater measures to force the issue. What eventually ends up happening in the artificial complexity of the institution, which currently is spinning out of control with the rapid pace of technological advances, is that we make another being suffer in order to diminish our own suffering. We can never think that by making another being suffer, we can improve our own state of being, and thereby diminish our own level of suffering. What we do to others, we do to ourselves. There is no escaping this universal truth, because we are the other.
Therefore, in order to truly discover the magic of technology, we must surrender to nature and stop attempting to control it. Correct means will take us to where we need to be, no coercion necessary. Correct means leads to correct ends.
Non-Violence
In the world of the new era, you must make a choice between non-violence and violence. There is no in between. It is like chocolate ice-cream or vanilla. The reason why there is no in between is because if you choose non-violence, it must be all the way. It must be all the way because there is no room for any type of power structure in this world-view. All power structures, or forms of state or locally enforced laws, such as army, militia or police force, are inadmissible in this world-view. Why not? Because if you believe in non-violence, you can't have other people do your dirty work for you. In other words, you can't preach non-violence and declare that you will personally not use violence to control a situation, but yet acknowledge the need for a power structure in place to control certain situations.
For those individuals that make the choice of non-violence, they need only concentrate on their own lives and those around them. The more local, the better. Trying to make sense of larger and larger structures, is nonsensical and leads you nowhere. We must constantly concentrate on our world within, always striving to remain in the spirit of the almighty, that of unconditional love, which intern makes your perception of your surroundings clearer and closer to reality. This constant inducing of the spirit will bring you closer to individuals around you, and at the same time release you from the control mechanisms of the larger social and political structures surrounding you, taking you out of that reality and inserting you into the reality of the kingdom of God on earth.
We must do our small part and leave the rest to God. Only God knows what will result from our actions. Only God knows what type of society will emerge. It is our responsibility to remain within the spirit of the almighty, and act within this sprit.
