The Next Step
Tom writes:
I know the soul speaks in principles but for a high initiate like you, JJ, wouldn’t your soul give you steps or tell you what the next move is to make your writings successful?

JJ
The soul does not outline a step-by-step plan for any of us. We have to contemplate our next step and how to accomplish it and run it by the soul. If what we are thinking is the right direction then we will get the go ahead, but even here we have to work out the details.

I know what my next step is and have been working on it for many years. I am to gather enough soul infused people to create a molecule. It is a difficult step and there are numerous smaller steps in between.

A major step was getting some basic teachings written and available. Another step, which hasn’t happened yet, is that they will permeate into mass consciousness so we can have a larger pool from which to draw.

As far as next steps for an initiate goes think of Abraham Lincoln. It was verified through his soul that he could not let slavery stand in a divided country. He therefore received verification from his soul to save the union and free the slaves if at all possible. He knew what he had to do but was given no road map to do it. He had to figure things out along the way. Many times he was very frustrated and it looked like he may lose the quest but he persevered and managed to take his next great step. Not all disciple are so successful and have to come back in a future life to finish the work or take another.

Spiritual Tones
A mentioned earlier, and restated by John C, L Ron Hubbard came up with a tone scale. The basic idea is that the higher our tone the higher will be our quality of life and vibration. For instance, low on the scale are grief, pain, hate and hostility. High on the scale are cheerfulness, enthusiasm and exhilaration.

The problem with this approach is that most of us go through a range of these tones and it would be difficult to define any one person as always giving off the tone of hate, on one hand, or exhilaration on the other. While it may be true that some get stuck in one tone, most of us go through a range of them. Those who are bipolar can switch on a dime.

It appears to me that these tones mentioned are associated with the personality which is a part of us sometimes called the “not self.” This personality is like a leaf floating in the astral currents and floats up and down in the tones. Those who say their tone does not go up or down with the currents of life are deceiving themselves. Now some may have a higher average tone than others but all will vary in personality tone throughout the day, the month and the year.

The interesting thing to consider is that the quality of one’s life for the seeker or disciple is not determined by the tone of the personality. He who sees the personality as the “not self” and looks at it from the vantage point of the observer derives his quality of life by other means. Here is my own scale of spiritual tones starting at the bottom and moving up.

(1) The personality centered individual who sees happiness as being associated with what happens to him or his situation in the personality world.
Quality of life score: 1-10, depending on his current state. Over 90% of humanity is in this category.

(2) The Seeker. This person begins to realize that there is more to life than personality ups and downs. There is more out there for him in the spiritual realm and he begins a quest. His life now has a higher purpose than it did before.
Quality of life score: 11-30 depending on his focus.

(3) He who has achieved some soul contact. He is joyful to prove to himself that spiritual contact is real. He just wishes he had more of it.
Quality of life score: 31-50

(4) The soul infused person. This person never feels like the soul and spiritual world is far from him but has a consistent contact that brings him peace and inner joy.
Quality of life score: 51-70

(5) Access to the Oneness Principle, Higher Purpose and his inner group. This is a servant of humanity and the greater the opportunity to serve the greater his joy and peace.
Quality of life score: 71-100

(6) Conscious blending, merging and working with higher lives.
Quality of life score: Through the roof.

Thus we can see that the guy who thinks he is on top of the world because he won the lottery is merely in category one and there is much more awaiting him as he moves forward.

Some move beyond category one for a while and then sink back down and get caught in defining their happiness by personality events. A metaphysical view of being saved is a releasing oneself from the dominion of the personality.

What Not to Do
Keith said something interesting the other day. He said that the dark side ignorantly allows themselves to be tools in the hands of the light.

This is quite true when you think about it. When we think of the worst bad guy in our history Hitler usually comes to mind. But as bad as he was he taught us a lot. Most of it was what not to do.

Many do not realize that learning what not to do or what to avoid is just as essential as learning what to do.

For instance, before Hitler became a threat Eugenics was being strongly promoted in the United States and much of the world. Many were promoting the idea that undesirables should be sterilized and only the elite should be allowed to reproduce.

In theory this sounded good to many but in practice Hitler demonstrated that the idea could be strongly abused. On his undesirable list were the Jews and he set out to cleanse the human race by completely exterminating them.

Thus Hitler’s rampant abuse of this idea caused almost all countries to shelve it after the war.

This unjust targeting idea is still with us though as demonstrated by the revelation that the IRS has been targeting the Tea Party and other conservative groups.

I liked a statement I heard uttered from a liberal guy being interviewed about this. He said, “today they are targeting the Tea Party but tomorrow it could be progressives.” This abuse of power by the IRS has put the fear of God in both sides of the aisle.

It sounds like some have learned a little from history for we have all heard the statement attributed to pastor Martin Niemiller

First they came for the communists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a communist.

Then they came for the socialists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Jew.

Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Catholic.

Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.

I read an interesting reader comment on the IRS story. He said:
“Funny that he (Obama) recently told college graduates to “reject” the voices who warn about tyranny — while he’s busy imposing it.”

The evils of World War II gave us a good lesson telling us that love and brotherhood are more powerful instruments of change than brute force.

But we are far from learning all of our lessons. I think that is one reason Obama won the last election. The errors he and the people under him make are teaching the masses what we are not supposed to do. Apparently there is still much for us to learn in this department and our dear leaders and overseers are all too willing to teach us.

The Whole Self

Keith gives an interesting account worthy of comment. He once had an out of body experience where he communicated with his mom. The unusual thing is she was awake in the physical and he was out of his body.

After he entered back in his body he confronted his mom thinking he would talk about the conversation but she had no knowledge or recollection of it.

What’s the answer here? Did he imagine the conversation?

Not likely.

The answer is that not all of our consciousness is condensed within our physical body or even our three bodies of form. We incarnate with 20-70% of our essence and leave the rest behind. This explains why you can sometimes have a spiritual encounter or a vivid dream of a living person who is awake and has no memory of the event. This also explains why numerous people have reported vivid dreams of encounters with me when I have no memory of it.

Keith evidently contacted part of his Mom’s consciousness not registered with her body and thus the conversation was not registered with her physical brain. Even so, it was still her he talked to.

The whole of our consciousness is connected to soul energy and is often called our higher self. Most of our prayers are handled by our own selves, just the part of us that still resides in the higher worlds.

 

May 19, 2013

Re: The Whole Self
Ruth:
So we are really praying to our own Monad? (Father in Heaven).

JJ
Indirectly. Most seekers have a long way to go to reach the Monad. Soul contact creates a link with the Solar Angel and your Higher Self which is merely a stepping stone to monadic consciousness but still a long way to go.

Ruth
…..And/Or to our own Solar Angel?

JJ
Your Higher Self is linked to your solar angel and one with it so prayers can reach these. Sometimes they are picked up by helpful entities.

Ruth
……And the higher entity that incarnates into a human molecule is the group’s higher self and higher consciousness and Intelligence? Yes?

JJ
No. The entity that will incarnate in a molecule will incarnate with a part of his energy and keep the other part in the higher spheres. You could say the lower part of his self is incarnated into the molecule. Actually the saying of higher and lower self is not quite technically correct. We think of the part of ourselves that resides in the higher spheres as a higher self but the part of ourselves that is down here is a part of the one entity which is you or me. The part of ourselves that is in the spirit world just has more access and knowledge of what’s going on.

Larry W
Yea. This all makes me worry about the dark brothers. What about their Solar Angel and what about their Monad?

JJ
The Dark Brothers have severed their link with the soul and monad and, thus, cut off from the source of life, are in a process of slow disintegration.

Re: Normalcy Bias
This is a good point Larry. We probably have at least a 50/50 chance that someone will attack with an atomic bomb within the next five years as well as a good chance the dollar will collapse but people as a whole do not enter these things into their equation of living.

This normalcy thing is also a reason so many otherwise intelligent people fail so miserably at predicting the future. They base all their data on what has been normal in the past and this rarely applies to any long term future.

Carter, for instance, predicted we would run out of oil within a decade of his presidency. Bill Gates at one time thought we’d never need more than 2 MB of Ram. Almost all psychics thought WWII would not happen.

Larry W points out the dangers we as a careless society face and preparations that we can take. I will add this. The Brotherhood of Light does everything within their power to guide us into the new age in such a way that the innocent will not suffer because of great calamities. They realize that karma and cause and effect can create much suffering that the careless and selfish can bring upon themselves. But it touches the heart of God when the pure in heart suffer because of the action of those whose intent is not pure.

One of the purposes of the gathering is to shield true seekers from pain and suffering they do not deserve. Unfortunately, we are approaching a time of danger and no gathering is in place. If a calamity occurs in the near future even those ho have done their best to prepare will not be prepared.

It has been the hope, as the new age approaches, that great calamities can be delayed until places of refuge are created. The best case scenario is that reasonable relations are established between the nations and we move into the new age without major calamities. We live in times were that seems unlikely to many but it is still a possibility.

Let us hope the door to evil will be closed and the pure in heart will flourish on the hills of Zion.

Eventually we will have earth changes that cannot be entirely avoided with good will but that is another matter we will eventually deal with.

Mother Earth Correspondences
Ruth gave the following quote from me:

If we correspond the earth to a greater human life we can arrive at some more interesting correspondences.

Minor earthquake = The earth is scratching an itch.

Medium earthquake = The earth is scratching a major itch.

Big earthquake = Comparable to a human trying to relieve himself from poison ivy.

Small volcano = Pimple or blackhead.

Major volcano = A boil.

A storm = Irritation

A hurricane = Anger

A tornado = Intense directed anger

A Tsunami = A chiropractic adjustment.

Then she asks: “Why did Mother Earth have “intense directed anger” in Oklahoma? Or did the
people also manifest this to some degree?”

The first thing to note is that correspondences in a case like this are loosely made and are not to be taken too literally. Even so, correspondences are always there to be found and contemplating on them will always bring some enlightenment.

Secondly, to understand the earth’s reaction that affected the people of Oklahoma we need to again apply The Law of Correspondences.

Think of how small individual people are in relation to the planet. We are like tiny bacteria in comparison to the size of the planet.

Now let us relate this to ourselves. Let us suppose you had an itch. When you scratch do you give any thought to the bacteria you may be killing in the process?

If you are angry at yourself and slap yourself in the face are you thinking about the lives of the cells you are disrupting?

Not really.

Even so, the earth was not angry with the people of Oklahoma nor was their welfare in its mind when the tornado erupted. Events like this are a part of its reaction to life on its own plane.

Just like the lives in our body have to adjust to our actions and feelings, even so do we humans have to adjust to the life of the earth as it manifests.

Yes, human emotions can influence some weather anomalies but we are merely an influence, not the total cause. There are storms on Mars yet there are no humans on its surface.

Question on Hell
Tom Writes:
I remember JJ saying that hell can be created by a person’s own mind after death.

A few people have reported going to Hell during NDE’s and claims it is real.

Is Hell real and do Evil people go to Hell?

Where in the afterlife do the really Evil people go and what place is it like where you find Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi of Libya, Stalin and murderers and the like? What that place like to them?

JJ
Any hell a person experiences after death is created in his mind in this mortal life, not the afterlife.

There has been a lot of research done to determine the after death state. Among these are:

(1) Near Death experiences.
(2) Channeling people who have passed over.
(3) Regression of people to their experiences of the between life state.
(4) Visions

The problem is that all of these methods have produced conflicting results. Some say that there is no punishment or any kind of hell after death while others paint a pretty bleak picture fort the ungodly.

I think that the most accurate information has been obtained by hypnosis which has taken people into the between lives state. The interesting thing about this research is the information revealed by many subjects is quite consistent.

Michael Newton led the research on this and has written several books on what he has discovered. One thing I found interesting is that there is some information that the subjects were forbidden to reveal to the living. Newton tried to get around this by tricking the subjects into answering and sometimes he was successful.

He tells us that a very negative person after death carries the negativity with him but specially trained people work with these types and try to salvage them. If they reconnect with soul energies then they will go to work preparing for their next life where they hope to improve their situation. If the person cannot be salvaged then he is returned to the Source to be recycled.

He also verifies that we have a Higher Self that co-exists in the spirit world even while we are incarnated on the earth.

Many people who we see as bad guys, in their own minds, thought they were doing the right thing. These people will have to confront their mistakes after death and gain a sense of the pain and suffering they caused. This will cause a temporary hell for them. Even so, if they have a desire to do good, even though mislead, they will be worked with and spiritual teachers will attempt to redirect their consciousness and goals.

Life Between Lives
LWK
The point is, how do you know that you are not in Hell right now?

Actually, this earth life is the greatest hell. We suffer regrets in the spirit world but can do little to pay off our karma there. That is reserved for mortal life and often it can be quite painful.

Dan asks:
1) Does hypnosis then erode the “will” so to speak or a person’s decision-making ability in any way or JUST make them more susceptible to hypnotism?

JJ
Getting hypnotized a couple times will have little effect but if a person gets hypnotized regularly he becomes more susceptible and much easier to hypnotize. If a person were hypnotized enough he could be put in a trance against his will, even though many books on hypnosis says this is not possible.

Hypnosis does not seem to have much of an effect on the person’s decisions in the non-trance state though he may be more susceptible to suggestion.

Dan:
2) If a person is more susceptible to being hypnotized does that ALSO mean they will be more susceptible having (hypnotic type) suggestions implanted in OTHER ways such as via repetition of thought/belief, or zoning out while watching television, or etc?

JJ
Yes. Watching a commercial on TV puts a person in the first, but light stages of hypnosis.

Dan:
3) What exactly do you mean by “desired outcome”, doesn’t everybody desire an outcome? Do you mean if a person goes to be hypnotized and desires the outcome of learning about their past lives (or some other outcome) that it will then be more difficult to hypnotize that person? Or what exactly?

JJ
The left brain people are much more difficult to hypnotize because they are always calculating with their minds, often seeking a desired outcome, and have difficulty in turning over their subconscious to another person.

Dan:
4) You mentioned Michael Newton’s regression hypnosis research. Have you read the book he wrote on his specific technique for this titled, “Life Between Lives: Hypnotherapy for Spiritual Regression”? And if so, is his procedure any better (or worse) than normal hypnosis techniques in terms of increasing susceptibility to hypnotism, eroding the will, or in any other respect?

JJ
I’ve read all his books and he uses a guided meditation technique similar to mine. This takes a lot longer than hypnosis techniques but it is safer and the subject stays in more control and can usually recall the whole experience. He may take a couple hours to get a subject in a state deep enough to see past or between lives correctly whereas hypnosis can do this in ten minutes with a good subject.

What I found interesting about his work is his subjects were quite consistent in the details they retrieved.

Gathering Clarification
Looks like I need to clear up a few things about the gathering.

I see a lot of quotes lately from my book The Literal Gathering of Israel. I started writing this when I was still in the church in 1978 and was writing it to the members of the church. Thus I used Mormon language that would appeal to their mindset and used quotes that would appeal to their sense of authority.

Afterwards, I wrote The Gathering of Lights for the masses. In this I was more free to express myself more universally and more clearly present the purpose of the gathering.

One has to read the first through a filtering process wit the realization that one has to present truth to the Mormons in a different context than other seekers to reach their core.

Now I’ll touch on a few of the points under discussion.

Is Susan doing the right thing in creating a gathering place on her own initiative?

It is certainly not in any of our power to declare that she has no right to do this. If she feels an impression from her soul to do this and moves ahead then she will receive many benefits, even if she fails. A failure in a work, taken to heart, is merely a step toward ultimate success.

Dan made a good comment on this:
At least Susan is DOING something at Safe Haven and even if it turns out to NOT be an “official” gathering point she is gaining a LOT of useful experience and learning sustainable living techniques.

Shouldn’t there be just one gathering place for all the lights?

It is true in early Mormon days there was one main gathering place, but even here there were other lesser places.

We can learn from studying the early Mormon experience but those who seek to duplicate it line by line will be met with failure. We must continually follow the soul which leads us to new things and greener pastures. The gathering illustrates a principle and the core principle must always be sought. If this is done then we have the possibility of success.

There will be a time in the future where there will be a main gathering place for the lights but even here some of the lights will feel impressed to remain at other places on the planet.

If a person says he is doing a thing because he is following his soul it is not for us to judge. He may or may not be right but we must allow him or her to move ahead without condemning him. Time will tell the sincere seeker whether or not his direction was correct.

Should I declare a gathering place for us?
It’s a little premature for that.

(1) There is no fund to buy lands let alone build upon them.

(2) There’s probably less than a half dozen in the group who would move from their homes and families even if we had a place for them.

We need an event that will bring these ideas to the attention of the masses so thousands will become interested in the gathering concept before we can build anything that will last.

In the meantime I have started teaching regularly in Boise. Anyone who is able is welcome to come here and support the new group we are forming. If you can’t come here then I would suggest starting a local group.

Ruth Quotes: “Joseph Smith again verifies this: “BEFORE the tabernacle can be with men, the
elect must be gathered from the four quarters of the earth.”

Before the “Tabernacle” can be with men…… or in other words…..

Before the first Molecular Entity can be with men, the elect must be gathered from the four quarters of the Earth.

JJ
The tabernacle has nothing to do with the creation of the molecule. Moses and the Israelites had the tabernacle with them in the wilderness, but there was no molecule.

Jesus created a molecule before there was a major gathering.

The gathering of lights on a major scale will cause a permeation of the Spirit of God among the people thus causing the tabernacle of God to be with men.

On the other hand, all we need for a molecule is 24 people capable of sustained soul contact. Such a molecule would have power to initiate a gathering.

The gathering principle is being picked up by many and there are those planning on building communities on the sea. Another group with resources is thinking of buying a large plot of land in the Honduras and creating their own free society. This idea will continue to grow until something significant occurs.

The Parable of Decision

Joseph Dewey
This entry is part 14 of 25 in the series 2013

“On a certain night Jim, Mike, Ron and Dave died. Shortly thereafter they all found themselves walking on a beaten path. It seemed right to follow the path. Finally they came to a dividing point. One path veered to the left; the other to the right. They stood a moment, pondering what to do, when suddenly a man in white appeared and gave them instructions.

“Welcome, my friends’, he said. ‘You are approaching your new home and I am here to instruct you as much as is permitted. You notice there are two paths before you: One of them takes you to Heaven, a place more beautiful than you can imagine. The other takes you to Hell, a land full of darkness, despair and wretched individuals. All I can tell you at this point is you are to choose a path, but once you reach your destination you cannot turn back. Once you get to Heaven you will stay there, or once you get to Hell you will stay there. One more word I can say. Do not be frightened, for that reward you get in the end will be that which you deserve. Go forth confident that if you have led a just life, you will reap as you have sowed. You must proceed one at a time and each walk the path alone.’

“After saying this the man disappeared. The four were astonished at this somewhat random method of reaching Heaven or Hell. Finally, they decided they must go forward and drew straws to determine who would go first. Jim got the first opportunity and chose the path on the right. He thought that perhaps this would lead to heaven because the “right” is always associated with “good.” But as he proceeded he heard the fierce sound of wild animals, clouds seemed to hide the sun and the earth shook. He became very frightened and thought, ‘Maybe I have chosen the wrong path.’ He turned around, went back to the beginning and told the others of his experience. Then he decided to try the left hand path. As he ventured forth he saw more ominous signs. He kept wondering how far he could go before he could not turn back, and ! with each step he became more and more frightened until he was forced to retreat back to the beginning.

“Seeing that Jim could not make a firm decision as to which path to take, Ron and Dave suggested Mike now take his turn. Mike, however, was paralyzed with fear for, according to Jim’s story, neither path sounded very heavenly. ‘I’m going to think about it a while’, he said. ‘Someone else can take a turn.’

“It was now Ron’s turn and he said, ‘I’m picking the right-hand path and not turning back.’ He followed through with his decision, and went past the sound of wild animals and through the darkness and storm clouds until he found himself in a place of unspeakable beauty and peace. He assumed he was in Heaven and rested there.

“It was now Dave’s turn to move onward. Jim said he thought he heard a wild animal eating Ron and a chill of concern spread through them all. Dave was not sure he was making the right decision, for he chose the path on the left. He thought within himself: ‘No matter what happens I’ll go forward on this path and make the best of it.’

“As he proceeded, things went from bad to worse. There were horrific shrieks from wild animals and storm clouds with fierce thunderbolts were everywhere. Still, he proceeded until he reached a sign that said ‘Hell”. Behind him, the path disappeared and there was no retreat. Before him was a depressing place, dark and stormy, full of inhabitants living in run-down shacks. The people lived in constant fear of attacks from the animals and roaming gangs who stole whatever they could get their hands on. Everywhere he went he was told this was a land cursed by the devil, and that things are going to get worse for all eternity.

“Dave thought long and hard within himself. ‘I promised myself I would not retreat from this path and make the best of it. I refuse to listen to these voices of doom. Within myself there is no Hell and my conscience is clear, so why should there be Hell on the outside?”

“From that point on, Dave went forth in confidence and taught the people that they did not have to live in the run-down shacks, and that they could change their circumstances so they would not have to live in fear. He also questioned their belief the land was cursed by the devil. A handful of people took hope and listened, but the rest were afraid and even looked upon Dave as an enemy, fearing he would make things even worse than they were.

“Dave gathered the people who would listen. They refused to accept the slum they were given as a final resting place and made blueprints of new beautiful homes. The best land they could find was an uninhabited swamp. They drained it and built their homes and a beautiful city with teeming gardens and landscapes. The gangs did not bother them, for the inhabitants supported and protected each other. The wild animals became friends, for the people nurtured them. Even the dark clouds and storms began to subside and bright, sunny days became a common sight.

“The people who were against Dave saw what had been accomplished and they took courage; one by one, other parts of Hell became transformed into beautiful cities and landscapes. After a period of time there was nothing but beauty and peace as far as the eye could see.

“Dave surveyed the now-beautiful land and came to a realization: One more thing needs to be done. He walked over to the original entrance and found that old sign which read ‘Hell’, tore it down, and replaced it with one that said ‘Heaven’. As he did, another path with a fork in it appeared and so did the man in white. His look caught Dave’s eye and he said, ‘I think you know what you must do’.

“Dave looked back and said, ‘I see I must choose again’.

“’Correct’. said the man.

“Before I proceed, can you tell me the fate of the other three?’

“The man answered: ‘Ron is in a city that resembles the place you have created. He has one regret: he wishes he had a part in creating it. When that desire becomes strong enough he will be given another path to choose and will wind up in a place called ‘Hell,’ as you did, and be given an opportunity to build Heaven.

“Jim and Mike are still paralyzed with fear, afraid to make a decision. They are the ones who are truly in Hell, yet sooner or later they must proceed onward.

“And what lies ahead for me?’ asked Dave.

“The unknown’, said the man.

“The statement made Dave afraid, yet excited at the same time. And with no hesitation, he proceeded on the path leaning to the right.”

Keys Writings 2013, Part 13

Joseph Dewey
This entry is part 13 of 25 in the series 2013

May 1, 2013

The Carnal Nature

Keith: Another problem is these higher energies can filter down and stimulate the carnal nature. I believe that is why you see a lot of spiritual leaders fall prey to their carnal side, because of this over stimulation of their lower natures.

JJ This is an interesting observation for many spiritual leaders and progressive thinkers have fallen prey to their lower passions. I’ve been reading more about L. Ron Hubbard and discovered he had an insatiable sexual appetite. Kennedy’s numerous affairs are widely known as well as FDR. Joseph Smith and Brigham Young had multiple wives. Solomon, the best that God could conjure up to build his temple, had 1000 wives and concubines. Blavatsky was a chain smoker etc.

On the other hand, others seemed to keep passions under control such as Lincoln, Churchill, AAB and of course, Jesus.

Money and power also present tremendous temptations to advanced entities.

Re: Some Basics

Ruth: Were there numerous Adams and Eves because of each root race had it’s beginning in an Adam/Atom and Eve, or because some of these experiments to seed Earth failed?

JJ There have been numerous correspondences to the Adam and Eve story at the beginning of the various root races and subraces. It has also happened several times after great destruction. Accompanying every move forward has been dark forces attempting to frustrate it.

Aleister Crowley 

I’ve taken a look at Aleister Crowley’s handwriting and will make some comments.

You can check out samples also so you can see what I am referring to.

His regular handwriting can be seen in this sample:

His signature can be found here at the bottom of the page.

I won’t give a complete analysis but will point out several things that stand out.

His up strokes are very far forward which combined with the bend in his letters indicates a lack of control over his emotions. One of his main philosophies was “Do what thou wilt.” He liked this idea because he didn’t really want to control himself but desired to go with the flow, wherever that was taking him.

Notice that the direction of his handwriting points downward. I’ve looked at several samples and all but one does this. This indicates a strong pessimism or depression for a highly emotional person. He was reported to have said that he hated himself on his deathbed and maybe he did feel that way at times.

For a highly emotional person he was also quite intelligent and intuitive in the standard sense of the word. He was a quick thinker and probably a good speaker, never at a loss for words. He had strong passion and could stimulate people on an emotional and mental level at the same time.

It shows that he was not good art keeping secrets, unless it was personally important to him. His life verifies this as he revealed the secrets of The Golden Dawn, an esoteric organization that he joined.

His signature is interesting. Notice the two capital letters of his name A and C. In standard writing they do not go below the baseline but Crowley forces both of these letters far into the lower zone, even farther than his Y, which normally does go to the lower zone.

This tells us that the material side of life was of great importance to him. In his private thoughts he reflected on all aspects of life but when he mingled with the masses he became very carnal and material in focus.

Notice how his letters move all over the place in his signature. This tells us that he was always trying to think outside the box and because of his material focus he wasn’t afraid to embrace out of the box thinking if it moved beyond the bounds of normal acceptance.

He had a surprisingly normal ego but on an intellectual level he saw himself as a person of great importance. This feeling of importance was created more by illusion than a big ego.

When he wanted something he pursued it with great vigor.

Under normal circumstances he was quite honest but would lie when it served his purposes.

I found a couple interesting links to the guy. Apparently some believe that as a young boy he was Jack the Ripper and others that he caused the deaths of those who opened King Tut’s tomb.

Here are some links: Link 1  Link 2 Link 3  Link 4

His autobiography can be found here.

I’m going to start reading it and if it is interesting I will read the whole thing. Right now I’m reading a book on L Ron Hubbard co-written by his son called “Messiah or Madman?”

It’s pretty good but the meat of it can be found in an interview with his son here.

You will find that interesting reading.

Johann: It was in the Thule Society that Hitler met those who would help him take over Germany and wage the Second World War. Rudolf Hess, Heinrich Himmler, Martin Bormann, Dietrich Eckart, Alfred Rosenberg, and Hermann Goering were all said to be members. It was these, along with Hitler, who used the Thule Society – and it’s inner sect the Vril Society – to launch and promote the Nazi Party.

JJ Interesting information. It is interesting that DK said that there were seven people in Hitler’s inner group that laid the foundation to his power. You named six and with Hitler makes seven. Seems to have been a dark molecule.

The Controlling Principle

Dan: So to sum up 🙂 IF one says that JJ’s family was being CRITICAL (using criticism) and they shouldn’t have done it, that MIGHT have delayed his discovery of THAT particular blindspot until YEARS later when he ends up in front of MILLIONS of people auditioning for American Idol, becomes a nationwide laughingstock, makes millions of dollars and dies a sad and lonely little rich man 🙂 and delays his “mission” another lifetime.

JJ Now that would have been an interesting twist of events to be sure. When I heard the first recording of my voice screeching in a terrible falsetto it was a shock to my system to be sure, but a necessary one. It hurt at the time but was a great life lesson as it made me consider criticism later on much more than I may have otherwise.

Yes a valid criticism taken to heart is very useful but the problem is that criticisms whether they be valid or invalid, justified or not, usually have a negative effect and make the person feel attacked and resentful. Even in this group of friends I have to be very careful how I phrase anything that may sound even remotely critical as it can cause hurt feelings.

The Dale Carnegie book that lwk mentioned gives some of the best advice in handling this. He points out that criticism should be meted out very sparingly but when it is deemed necessary then the person must act. He should warm the person up by saying something good about him first so he knows you are not coming across in an attack mode.

Let us say, for instance, that a friend’s coarse language bothers you. Instead of saying, “Shut up! You sound like the demon spawn right of the pits of hell.” One should say something like this.

“You have a talent expressing yourself and putting your point across. I think you could have greater impact though if you substituted some of your salty language with words that people would not take as offensive.”

Of course, there is a time and place for everything. When the inner self approves, sometimes you have to let the guy have the blast from both barrels as my Dad did with me, showing no mercy. This should be a rare event, however.

For those who liked Carnegie’s “How to Win Friends and Influence People,” I would recommend the lesser known, “How to Sell Yourself to Others,” by Elmer Wheeler. I read them both way back in high school and they changed my life.

Babylon vs Christianity 

John C writes: Scientology also draws from early Hinduism, Buddhism, the Kybalion, and the Kaballah among others. So, it is incorrect if a person were to say it is completely on the left hand path. What I find to be on the left hand path are some of the recent teachings and practices of the Church of Scientology, but there are many independent researchers on the Internet, who were involved with Hubbard in the early days or have gone back to his original research to discover where he went wrong and correct it.

JJ

On a note of interest I just read that L Ron Hubbard Jr. said that his dad got a lot of his early ideas from reading Science and Sanity by Count Alfred Korzybski. Few innovators are entirely original in their ideas. Even Einstein was accused of borrowing a lot from others.

It would probably be useful to clarify at this point that the left hand path refers to a path that takes you to a certain end which is the opposite of life and the right hand path takes you to greater livingness. Those on either path are not totally wrong or totally right.

A person or organization who directs you toward the left hand can incorporate many things that are true. For instance, let us say two cars are headed to the same place and reach a fork with no destination signs. One takes the right hand road that leads to the desired destination and the other takes the left, which eventually heads over a cliff.

As the two are traveling the two paths they are both moving onward using true principles. Each of their cars uses the same combustion engines, the same gas the same tires and the road below appears a lot the same. Both are enjoying the creations of God in the scenery, the trees, the animals and vegetation. It is only as both reach their destination that the real truth becomes obvious.

Even so, a person of the blackest dye and darkest soul will use and accept many things that are true and correct. This doesn’t mean he is functioning in the light of the soul. The true disciple will seek out roadmaps, study and contemplate until the right hand path is discerned so he moves forward not by luck but by design.

Unfortunately, in our present society just about every group and individual is mostly controlled by the brothers of the left hand for the whole world wonders after the beast and do not buy or sell without his approval. Only a small number at this time have the Father’s name in the forehead and knowingly follow the right hand path.

The situation is that some organizations are just more strongly left hand than others.

Fortunately, it is the destiny of humanity to awaken to the light and seek the right hand path. 60% will do this when civilization matures on this planet.

Dean makes the mistake of claiming that Christian churches are the good guys (apparently on the right hand path) and just about all others in league with the Nazis including DK.

The truth is that all organizations including Christian churches are under the control of the Left hand path. The only difference is in the degree. Some restrict freedom and control with unjust authority more than others.

Dean attacks DK as being on the side of evil when he is one of the few who consistently supported the light and fought evil. Here are a few of his teachings.

1. He was one of the few teachers who was against Hitler and the Nazis clear from the beginning – before it was obvious he was a monster. Many religious people and metaphysical groups thought he was a good guy before the war started.

Jesus said a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand so if DK was in bed with the Nazis then he kingdom of evil was divided against itself.

2. When the U.N. was formed DK said it was a mistake to allow tyrannical governments to join.

3. Dean rightly points out the problem with the idea of relative truth, but DK taught many absolute truths and rejected many relativists such as the pacifists during World War II, and many others who are not grounded in sound and stable doctrine.

(4) DK supported the principle of freedom. The beast always seeks to limit or take away freedom.

(5) DK emphasized soul contact which frees us from the mark of the beast.

Yes Christianity is under attack because it still supports some elements of freedom and many Christians support the freedoms espoused in the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. Even so, the organizations are run by authoritarian leaders that support the overall power of the Beast.

The demarcation of good and evil right now is found in the power of individuals and the few individuals who are actively fighting for greater freedom are those who follow the inner Christ, not an outer one.

Re: Babylon vs Christianity 

Dean: AB is not the Christ,

JJ Why are you saying this??? Apparently to take a blind stab at things. No one said she was the Christ.

Dean: nor does he belong to christs kingdom and his teachings are not from the christ or the lord, and neither is the Lucis Trust. This is why there has been such a schism between us because I don’t believe in the authority of AB. But JJ is promoting it

JJ So you admit that your only purpose in being here is to create arguments and stand against all that I teach. Maybe I should have not let this post through if that is your only purpose.

You are disobeying Jesus injunction to not judge unjustly which you have just done. If Jesus himself were here I’ll bet you would find lots of problems with him just as did your blood brothers the Pharisees.

Dean: AB speaks of the new world order and has used Christ name to deceive.

JJ The Bible talks about a new world order. A new work order is definitely coming. It is our duty to make sure it is a good one. If we just sit by waiting for God to do it without us then, sure, the bad one you envision will come.

Dean: I only hope that JJ and the rest of the group see that because it’s very dangerous to take such a deviation away from god.

JJ There you go supporting the Beast again. And who tells us about this god against which we cannot speak? It is someone from without taking His place speaking his own words presenting them as the voice of God which we are supposed to fear. The real voice of God only comes from within or is verified there.

Dean: If you get a chance look at this video clip.

Wow. Such dreadful music and it is full of Satanist symbols which neither Baily or Theosophists used. Neither of them claimed to be Satanists.

HPB did teach about the swastika as a positive symbol which Hitler stole and tarnished forever. When you watch the video notice that HPB’s swastika went counter clockwise and Hitler’s went clockwise. This is like a Satanist s talking the cross and turning it upside down. That doesn’t mean the cross is bad because a mockery is made of it.

Dean More than likely he got his information from the people who planned and supported hitler and that’s how he knew in advance what to say………

JJ Yeah and Churchill was also a Satanist because he also fought against Hitler just to make it look like he was a good guy. You’re making no sense here.

The silly video make a lot of hay about Lucifer but there are many Lucifers and only one was mentioned that fell. Jesus was also a Lucifer or son of the Morning.

Here’s a previous article I wrote on it:

Distortion Number 4 — Lucifer Publishing: “Alice A. Bailey’s publishing company, now called Lucis Trust was originally called Lucifer Publishing Company. This proves she is in league with the devil.” This is the only criticism of Alice A. Bailey that, on the surface, has any validity, but that which appears on the surface is not always as it seems.

Alice A. Bailey was among other things a born-again Christian minister and a strong believer in Christ — so why would she choose such a name?

The answer is that she was a serious student of the writings and works of H. P. Blavatsky and she had a magazine she named Lucifer. I believe this inspired Bailey to also use the name.

The next question is why did H. P. Blavatsky use this name?

The answer is this: When H. P. Blavatsky began her work she suffered vicious attacks by the Christian communities similar to what happened to Joseph Smith when he started teaching some unorthodox doctrines. Just as Joseph viewed most Christian churches as very corrupt, so did Blavatsky. And just as Joseph sometimes made fun of them in their illusions so did Blavatsky.

Finally Blavatsky came up with the ultimate idea of tweaking her enemies’ emotions. She named her magazine Lucifer. This sealed her doom in the eyes of her opposition, for surely this was an open admission that she was in league with the devil himself.

But was it?

No, not by any means.

Why?

The answer will surprise most Bible readers and it is this:

Lucifer is NOT the name of Satan, any devils or adversaries of love and light.

Who does bear the name then?

According to the Bible it is Christ and the redeemed. Peter also used the name in a positive light.

But aren’t we told that the one who fell was called Lucifer?

Answer: Yes, we are told that, but that was his name BEFORE he fell and was a bringer of light. Now one of his current titles is the “Prince of Darkness,” a much different title than “Prince of Light” or “Bringer of Light,” which is the meaning of the name Lucifer.

Here are some words from none other than Peter: “We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts.” (2 Peter 1:19) The words “day star” is taken from the Greek word for Lucifer which is PHOSPHOROS.

Now let us literally retranslate: “We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and Lucifer arise in your hearts.” If Lucifer refers to the devil himself maybe the Christian world should burn their Bibles.

Another variation of Lucifer is “Morning Star.” Note the actual promise of Jesus to the faithful: “And I will give him the morning star.” (Rev 2:28) Evidently Jesus will give us the power of Lucifer.

Even more shocking Jesus calls himself a Lucifer: “I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.” (Rev 22:16) Let us literally retranslate this: “I am the root and the offspring of David, and Lucifer.” (Rev 22:16) Morning Star is only translated as Lucifer once in most Bibles as follows: “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north.” (Isaiah 14:12-13) Even here most Bible scholars believe Lucifer refers to the king of Babylon which was addressed by Isaiah. Nevertheless, Isaiah often spoke with dual meaning and this has a definite correspondence to a fallen being.

Lucifer is a Roman word applied to the Hebrew HEYLEL and the Greek PHOSPHOROS which literally means “One who brings or carries forth light.” It could also be translated as “one who is able to hold light.”

Now let us see what the Mormon scriptures tell us about this name. The name is only used once here: 25 “And this we saw also, and bear record, that an angel of God who was in authority in the presence of God, who rebelled against the Only Begotten Son whom the Father loved and who was in the bosom of the Father, was thrust down from the presence of God and the Son. 26 “And was called Perdition, for the heavens wept over him — he WAS (but not now) Lucifer, a son of the morning. 27 “And we beheld, and lo, he is fallen! is fallen, even a son of the morning!” [Doctrine & Covenants (D&C) 76:25-27] Notice here that Lucifer was “a” son of the Morning, NOT “the” Son of the Morning.”

Also notice that it says he “was” Lucifer not “is.”

He is fallen and no longer can be called a “Son of the Morning.”

What is a Son of the Morning?

It is a being who was with God at the beginning, or morning, of time, as we know it.

The name, Lucifer, which refers to a Son of the Morning, is not the name of one evil being, but is a reference to pristine and holy ancient beings who were conscious creators before this earth rolled into existence.

Here is another reference to the Lucifers: 4 “Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 5 “Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? 6 “Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; 7 “When the morning stars (Lucifers) sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? (Job 38:4-7) Now here is a thought. If the Lucifer that fell lost his status and there is more than one Lucifer (or bringer of light) — that means there would be good ones out there somewhere.

Lucifer also refers to Venus and for good reason. It has been called the bright and morning star for thousands of years. When it is visible it will often be the only star (or planet) visible in the early morning light — this the bringer of the new light of the morning.

Brigham Young made the interesting statement that the first man (the first Adam) came from another planet and that he had already passed through human existence and had overcome all things and became exalted. After he came here he took upon himself mortality to become the father of the race of mankind.

Then he also made the statement that Adam was our God, “the only God with whom we have to do.”

This harmonizes well with the writings of Bailey and Blavatsky who also teach that the first man came from another planet. They tell us that the Ancient of Days, Sanat Kumara, came here from Venus (the morning star) 23 million years ago.

They also teach that he once lived as a mortal man like ourselves in another system eons ago and came here to be a father and God to the human race.

When the Ancient of Days came here he arrived with a number of morning stars called Kumaras. Here is Alice A. Baileys writing about the one who we call the fallen Lucifer: “In every grouping,-whether in heaven or on earth-there is always evidenced a tendency by some units in the group to revolt, to rebel and to show some form of initiative different to that of the other units in the same grouping. When our solar universe came into being, we are told in the allegorical language of the ancient scriptures, there “was war in Heaven”; “the sun and his seven brothers” did not function with true unanimity; hence (and herein lies a hint) our Earth is not one of the seven sacred planets. There is, as we know, the ancient legend of the lost Pleiade, and there are many such stories. “Again, in the council chamber of the Most High, there has not always been peace and understanding, but at times, war and disruption; this is made abundantly clear by several of the stories in the Old Testament. Symbolically speaking, some of the sons of God fell from their high estate, led, at one time, by “Lucifer, Son of the Morning”. This “fall of the angels” was a tremendous event in the history of our planet, but was nevertheless only a passing and interesting phenomenon in the history of the solar system, and a trifling incident in the affairs of the seven constellations, of which our solar system is but one. Pause and consider this statement for a moment, and so readjust your sense of values. The standard of happenings varies in importance according to the angle of vision, and what (from the angle of our Earth’s unfoldment in consciousness) may be a factor of prime importance and of determining value may (from the angle of the universe) be of trifling moment.” Because the name Lucifer is now so rigidly associated with evil instead of light few dare use the term openly, but originally Lucifer was a glorious title.

Even though they were technically correct and on solid ground in the light to use the word, it was indeed not good public relations for H. P. Blavatsky or Alice A. Bailey to use this name, which is so misunderstood by humanity, and Bailey was wise to drop its use. Link

Tom: What church was she (AAB) a minister in of what church organization? I was unable to find it doing a web search.

JJ I know she was raised a Christian but do not recall he calling herself a minister. I think she did some missionary work though.

Tom: I did not know that Lucifer was the name of the morning star but then again I am new to being a Minster…I wonder if most Ministers knew that?

JJ Very few know this (apparently Dean does not) as they do not examine the Greek and Hebrew.

Tom Also, JJ, you always translating Bible quotes…what your secret to doing t his and what languages do you know to do this?

JJ There is no secret. All you have to do is examine he Greek and Hebrew Concordances and Grammar guides as well as double check all the places the original words are used so you can make sure the translation can withstand criticism.

Re: Babylon vs Christianity

Dean: Apparently according to one of your long held followers I am on the dark side and not with Christ.

JJ I’ll take your word that you are following him to the best of your ability so I’ll leave it at that.

Dean: Imagine if that’s wrong and that I am actually for Christ. How is that going to Look on you JJ? In fact how is it going to look on you disagreeing with me at all during all this time.

JJ I follow the highest I know so I’m sure he’ll give me a lot of slack and do his best to set me on the right path.

Dean I did know that Lucifer meant morning star, but the name Lucifer is still used to refer to Satan.

JJ You’re following tradition here rather than the actual Bible you claim is so important. In the Bible (Rev 22:16) Jesus calls himself Lucifer. After his fall Satan was no longer a light bringer (Lucifer) but a prince of darkness. You are following false tradition here.

Dean It doesn’t change the fact that ABs writings are about the luciferian new world order

According to the Bible a luciferian new order would be an order of light and truth. Such a day was predicted by Peter: “We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts.” (2 Peter 1:19) The words “day star” is taken from the Greek word for Lucifer which is PHOSPHOROS.

And Jesus: “And I will give him the morning star (PHOSPHOROS).” (Rev 2:28)

Dean: I can’t believe you called the churches of Christianity evil.

JJ I didn’t. You made that up.

Dean: I would never do that because the bible is god’s word.

JJ So because the Bible is God’s word that means the church fathers were correct in burning unorthodox people like you at the stake? Wow, that is quite the thinking process you have there.

Dean I hope you repent.

JJ I’ll think about it. I did say some naughty words the other day. I hope it didn’t make Jesus frown.

So, Dean when did you get into the fundamentalist, Bible thumping mode? Did some born againer scare the dickens out of you with hellfire and damnation as you are now trying to do with us?

I have news for you. This is not a fundamentalist born again Baptist forum. We’ll entertain comments on my any subject for a time and you are welcome to call us to repentance a couple times but then it gets old and we will move on.

By the way, you seem oblivious to the fact that you are limited to three posts a day. I let you have four yesterday, but will now enforce the rule. I had to reject a bunch of your ramblings so if you want to be heard, post the excess on Dean’s site at freeread and I’ll reference them here if you do.

Now let’s look at your third post of the day:

Dean: Surely it must be clear that the theosophical society was more into witchcraft than it is was into Christianity.

JJ It is into neither one. As HPB said her religion is the truth wherever it lies. That is a good motto that synthesizes all groups, but exclusive to none.

The trouble with your recent arguments is all you do is attempt to destroy by demonizing and name calling rather than using logic and examining teachings.

Dean, telling me what Jesus is going to do to me: “So even in ignorance that would be judged quite harshly especially since you spent so much time with the bible already that you should know better than to mix it with other things.”

JJ This Jesus of your is a pretty mean Dude. Sure you’re not talking about the devil himself?

> JJ > You’re following tradition here rather than the actual Bible you claim is so important. In the Bible (Rev 22:16) Jesus calls himself Lucifer. After his fall Satan was no longer a light bringer (Lucifer) but a prince of darkness. You are following false tradition here.

Dean The Lucifer in the bible clearly fell from grace and he was referred to Lucifer,

JJ He was called Lucifer when he fell, not afterwards. In the New Testament Lucifer refers to Jesus and his followers.

Dean So satan today would be Lucifer.

JJ Sorry the Bible does not say that. You don’t seem to give it much weight for a true believer.

> Dean: > I can’t believe you called the churches of Christianity evil. > > JJ > I didn’t. You made that up.

You wrote this: “The truth is that all organizations including Christian churches are under the control of the Left hand path”

JJ Like I said you made the “evil” quote up. Do you think that deception made Jesus happy with you? Yes, all organizations are usable by the left hand brothers, but that does not mean they are evil. Most are doing their best to do what is right but are just deceived. Someone who is evil knows what he is doing.

Dean: It wasn’t ‘the church fathers’ (why do you call it that?) that burnt people at the stake. Are you saying Jesus and the apostles burnt people at the stake? Because they would be the only ‘church fathers’ as you call it, and the bible is the foundation. JJ Way to twist things. Of course I was not referring to the original apostles but the church Fathers during the Middle Ages. These believed in Jesus and the Bible yet committed grievous wrongs you seem to think impossible to do for believers.

Dean: In fact you should read this verse very carefully and have a long hard think about what you are attempting to do.

Deuteronomy 4:2 You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away … Ye shall not add – Any book, chapter, verse or word, which I have not spoken

JJ A lot has been added to the Bible since Deuteronomy.

Dean: I don’t know any Christians that would put me on moderation either as I’m not even offensive. But to you I have been offensive? What planet are you on?

JJ Talk about a blind spot. You are offensive to many here because you do not stay on topic or obey the rules. For instance you attempted to get eight posts through today when the rule is three. That is plain obnoxious, especially when the posts are not in the parameters of group interest.

Dean: If you still don’t think I have a valid point, and won’t listen, I’m going to have to leave and not come back here, and you won’t have to argue with me again.

JJ Then you can go and meet with your own kind. I would suggest a fundamentalist Baptist group for you. But even there you will have to behave yourself.

Dean: I guess you would think that’s a good thing?

JJ Like gathers with like. Apparently you are only here to call us to repentance. Okay, you’ve done that. There’s lots of other esoteric groups left that you can try this on. Let us know how they responded.

Dean: I respond here because I care about people being on the right path, including yourself, not because I am interested in arguing.

JJ I don’t believe you. You have argued here for years before you called us to repentance.

Tone Scale

I just finished reading a biography of L. Ron Hubbard. In it his son notes that he created a “tone scale.” This is, “a scale which plots the descending spiral of life from full vitality and consciousness through half-vitality and half-unconsciousness down to death. . . from the highest to the lowest. . . .”

The tone scale is as follows:[1]

40.0 Serenity of beingness

30.0 Postulates

22.0 Games

20.0 Action

8.0 Exhilaration

6.0 Aesthetic

4.0 Enthusiasm

3.5 Cheerfulness

3.3 Strong interest

3.0 Conservatism

2.9 Mild interest

2.8 Contented

2.6 Disinterested

2.5 Boredom

2.4 Monotony

2.0 Antagonism

1.9 Hostility

1.8 Pain

1.5 Anger

1.4 Hate

1.3 Resentment

1.2 No sympathy

1.15 Unexpressed resentment

1.1 Covert hostility

1.02 Anxiety

1.0 Fear

0.98 Despair

0.96 Terror

0.94 Numb

0.9 Sympathy

0.8 Propitiation

0.5 Grief

0.375 Making amends

0.3 Undeserving

0.2 Self-abasement

0.1 Victim

0.07 Hopeless

0.05 Apathy

0.03 Useless

0.01 Dying

0.0 Body death

– 0.01 Failure

– 0.1 Pity

– 0.2 Shame

– 0.7 Accountable

– 1.0 Blame

– 1.3 Regret

– 1.5 Controlling bodies

– 2.2 Protecting bodies

– 3.0 Owning bodies

– 3.5 Approval from bodies

– 4.0 Needing bodies

– 5.0 Worshipping bodies

– 6.0 Sacrifice

– 8.0 Hiding

-10.0 Being objects

-20.0 Being nothing

-30.0 Can’t hide

-40.0 Total failure

A brief explanation of this is on Wikipedia here.

What do you think of this idea? Do you think that Hubbard was accurate in his list? Can you improve on this or simplify? If so give your thoughts and your own list.

Teaching without Attachment 

Stephen writes: May I ask you a rather personal question – but not too personal that it might make you blush 🙂

When you give out teachings or get into a debate over any particular issue, is it done without any attachment to results? (no ‘desire’ in you for the other person to see sense and change so to speak).

The emphasis is on the word ‘desire’.

I’ve had some recent ‘dawnings’, so I am testing them in the ‘fires of reality’ 🙂

JJ There is a lot of illusion and glamour around the idea often presented in new age circles that we should not be attached to the results of our work.

I have been accused of this a number of times by smug finger-pointers who see themselves as being on higher ground because they see themselves as having no such attachments.

The first thing we need to do to answer your question is to look at the core true principle and how it is supposed to play out. The basic true principle is centered around the idea of us, as individuals, being the observer, as if we were watching a movie rather than being totally immersed in everything that is happening. This viewpoint allows us to handle the ups and downs of life more dispassionately and objectively and avoid an excessive amount of emotional attachment.

If you lose the love of your life you may be devastated for many years but if the character you identify with in a movie loses his then you are only upset for a small time and move on.

The fact is that no intelligent being in the universe is totally detached from the results of his work. The next person who announces with an air of superiority that he is not attached to the results of his work needs to be asked this question. “Since you are not attached to the results of your work and one of those results is a weekly paycheck does this mean you will be willing to work for free from now and on just turn your check over to me?”

“That’s different,” he may say.

But it’s not different. The money we get from our labors in this life is definitely one of the results and all of us are somewhat attached to getting enough money on which to survive.

The idea of not being attached to the results of our labors is only true as far as it applies to placing ourselves in the seat of the observer. This is a huge aid in dealing with the ups and downs of life.

If one is overly attached to his job and the money it pays then he will be devastated if he is fired. If he sees himself as the observer he will still be somewhat upset but will deal much more effectively with the problem.

That said I will answer your question. When I argue with a person yes, I do desire or him to see the light behind my point of view. If I didn’t desire this then I would not eve be presenting my case.

Does it ruin my day when he is not moved or convinced at all? No. Not at all. It is a numbers game like shooting free shots. You know you are not going to make them all but if you hit a certain percentage you figure it is worthwhile to make the attempt.

Then there is an extra bonus to being able to assume the attitude of the observer. When something bad happens you can detach yourself from the emotional turmoil but when something good happens you can decide to not be so detached and immerse yourself in temporary happiness. It’s a win win.

Human Molecule 

Stephen: I wonder if there is something there for consideration. JJ, is this worth reflecting on for Keysters to help them form the Human Molecule? Do we all need to be in the same room? What if Keysters were to ‘pair off’ into male/female couples to try and mentally link up with each other, and if/when successful, couples could then reach out to each other? Or is this too dangerous?

JJ To receive the initial link up the group has to be physically together just as were the disciples on the day of Pentecost. Then after the linkup they can be separated and mentally link up. The apostles in the first molecule traveled all over the world after the linkup happened.

If you feel you need to use my teachings to the extent that you are borrowing them you could actually include my name in the book by mentioning something like: “This concept was first presented by J J Dewey around the turn of the century.”

Larry W JJ said, “JJ: “We may have to go through a sifting process before we can gather 24 people capable of soul contact all at the same moment so heaven and earth can be linked. I would guess that this will happen sometime in the next five years.”

JJ also said, “The goal is to have the physical city of New Jerusalem initiated by 2030. There may or may not be 144,000 working atomic units by that time, but there should be over 144,000 fairly enlightened people who are willing to receive.”

JJ As you noted I said that back in 1999 and it was a guess that was way off. As Ruth found in the quote, the main reason for this was an anticipation of the Immortal series becoming a much bigger seller than it was. If we are to succeed in initiating a real gathering by 2030 then we are going to need to breakthrough to reach mainstream consciousness. My responsibility in making this happen weighs heavily upon me.

The higher lives have done more harm than good in assisting too much in the past and this time the gathering of lights is mostly up to us mortal folk. If we can do this mostly on our own then a long lasting foundation will be laid.

May the force be with us.

Keith: 2025 should be an interesting year for the few of us who get there.

JJ As our resident prophet, have you had any insights about the next 10-20 years?

A Few Words

I’ve been contemplating some of the comments and concerns voiced lately and thought I would say a few words.

All of us who have been here for a decade or so thought the work would have progressed much further than it has at this point. It seems that everyone who reads The Immortal is very impressed and like it better than best sellers such as The Celestine Prophecy or Conversations with God. Unfortunately, it did not take off like these and other books. Why this is so, is somewhat of a mystery, not only to me but to many of my readers who love the books.

My only explanation is that my words do not yet register with the masses but certain types of people who are searching for the truth.

As an experiment once I sent out a couple thousand free copies of Book I of the Immortal inserted with the local paper to saturate a certain area. I got two responses. One was an old lady concerned that I was not in harmony with the Bible and another from a guy who actually read it and liked it. One positive response from thousands of Immortals books was far from a paying proposition. Why even a dozen people did not pick it up and read it seems strange indeed.

I’ve given away around 50,000 free physical copies of Book I and an amazingly small number of people read it. Those who do are very enthused but they are the few.

The only time I have had success passing them out is when a bookstore owner actually reads The Immortal, gets enthused and then gives away free copies of Book I to his customers while recommending it. When this has happened sales leaped forward making The Immortal the best selling book in the store for a few months.

After writing the four Immortal books published in three volumes and seeing that the series just wasn’t taking off with the general public I then moved on to the political arena and wrote Fixing America. I sent many copies to talk show and media people all around the country and did not receive a single response.

I then stood back and asked myself what to do next. Logically it seemed best to move forward promoting my political views but then I realized something. I just didn’t have the fire in the belly about moving forward with it at the moment.

Realizing this I decided to start a local group and teach spiritual principles. The goal now is to get a good group going and which I can then use as a base for endeavors impressed upon my by the soul. In addition to this I am sending out the best of my teachings in emails to thousands of people on my list. This is showing some promise. I am also considering making more videos for youtube.

I think Keith is correct that events have not unfolded as expected by the Higher Lives. This is not all bad though. It means that opportunities may be in a different direction than anticipated.

My feeling at present is just to proceed with the highest I know, and as I do the day of opportunity will come.

Keys Writings 2013, Part 12

Joseph Dewey
This entry is part 12 of 25 in the series 2013

 

April 27, 2013

Dropping the Ball

Stephen references a quote from the archives.  From the quote … it seems that when the Masters withdraw from a disciple because he has dropped an opportunity, does that mean the disciple is written off for the rest of this lifetime, or is the disciple given an opportunity to recover the situation or at least take up a new challenge that may present itself?

JJ First, let me compliment Ruth for her finding quotes that expand on the subject at hand. She digs up a lot of things I had forgotten I even said.

I can almost hear you thinking that this sounds kind of harsh. It seems the disciple makes one mistake and then he is just dropped without a chance to redeem himself.

This isn’t quite the way it works. The truth is that any time a disciple becomes truly useful the Master would have no problem in using him. But the problem of his lack of use isn’t because he is dropped and not given another chance. Instead, it is because he himself has dropped the ball, dug himself into a hole and cannot climb out in this life.

Let me give you a comparable example of another situation.

Phil, a quarterback, is a rising star in high school football. He’s targeted by recruiters from Oklahoma and invited to join the team when he starts college. Meanwhile that summer he has a change of interests and starts a band and devotes most of his energies to music. Then when football practice starts the coach notices that Phil has lost his edge. He investigates and discovers that Phil’s band is too much of a distraction. He tells Phil, “Look, if you’re going to play ball here we need you to give all your concentration possible on the game. You’re going to have to choose between your band or football.”

But Phil is stubborn and says, “I can do both.”

The coach says, “Not so, my friend. The reality is that you are not doing both. You’ve lost your edge in football and without your full concentration you are no use to us. You need to make a choice.”

“I’m not giving up the band,”he says.

“Then we’ll have to drop you from the team,” says the coach.

After this, there is a space of time where Phil could rededicate himself toward football and possibly rejoin the team but after time passes and his attention is centered on the band he not only loses interest in playing football but loses his ability to the extent that it becomes almost impossible to retrieve his full talent of the past.

The coach knows this and writes him off, not because he is cold, but because he realizes the guy is just not going to be a usable quarterback in this life.

This illustrates what happens to many disciples. One’s soul will speak to him and point him toward a task of service. At first he is interested but because of the difficulty of the path he loses interest and puts his attention on other things. Then, after a period of time the Masters will see that the guy just doesn’t have the proper focus to be usable in this life and they move on to greener fields.

After a soul task is cast aside for a space of time the aspiring disciple will rarely return to it as his consciousness is no longer there in this life.

The bottom line is this. The soul does not cut itself off from us. We are the ones who walk away and do not return. When this happens the only solution is to be born again in another life to take another step toward the kingdom of God.

Questions to JJ – re: Ancient of Days            

That’s about a book’s worth of questions Ruth asked and I cannot answer them all but will touch on some of them.

You ask: You teach that the Ancient of Days incarnated into animal man to stimulate self consciousness into the animal man 18 million years ago.

Why did it take 5 million years to set up Shamballa and stimulate animal man? Was there some war going on in that time?

JJ DK briefly touched on the fall of Lucifer stating that there has not always been peace among the members of Shamballa. He said:

Again, in the council chamber of the Most High, there has not always been peace and understanding, but at times, war and disruption; this is made abundantly clear by several of the stories in the Old Testament. Symbolically speaking, some of the sons of God fell from their high estate, led, at one time, by “Lucifer, Son of the Morning”. This “fall of the angels” was a tremendous event in the history of our planet, but was nevertheless only a passing and interesting phenomenon in the history of the solar system, and a trifling incident in the affairs of the seven constellations, of which our solar system is but one. “Esoteric Psychology,” Vol 1, pages 394-5

I would suppose that this event took place before the first self conscious human.

Before the manifestation of the human kingdom there was a lot of preparations to be made. The higher lives not only work with humans but all the kingdoms – the mineral, the vegetable and the animal. A number of higher lives are dedicated to assisting these kingdoms in their advancement as well as conditioning them to serve the human kingdom.

Before humanity could manifest they had to build Shamballa which was no small task. Then they had to harmonize with the spirit of the earth itself and adjust all vibration to receive from the Solar Logos and commune with the Seven Sacred planetary Logoi.

Ruth: Or did it take 5 millions years to “plant” the seeds of animal man and then wait for them to grow up a bit?

JJ They watched humanity to determine how they could assist them and Sanat determined that their progress was painfully slow and decided to help by stimulating their minds by incarnating among them. This was risky and contrary to normal protocol. We still do not know for sure if the gamble will pay off with us blowing ourselves out of existence or a glorious end. The odds are in our favor but disciples must do their part.

Ruth (But aren’t these first “seeds” the Jewish Laggards, or were they already here doing time?) The Jewish Laggards are originally from the Venus chain?

JJ No. The Jews came from a previous solar system and some of them were here before Shamballa.

Ruth: Or did Sanat come to Earth because the Jewish Laggards from the previous solar universe or moon chain want to rule the animal man developing on Earth?

JJ He came here to assist all lives reach their destiny.

Ruth: Who then, is the (Lucifer) Angel that Fell into matter, if not the Ancient of Days? Was it one of the Moon chain souls? Buddha was the highest light from the moon, yet the Moon chain failed.

JJ The Lucifer who fell was one of the Kumaras from Venus who came here with Sanat Kumura.

Ruth: Did the Ancient of Days have to incarnate into animal man because one of his group of ancient Lucifers rebelled, and reincarnated into animal man before the Ancient of Days?

JJ He incarnated because the progress of the animal men was progressing to slowly.

Ruth There seems to be a missing part of this puzzle from the angle that I am looking at.

JJ There are lots of things not yet revealed. Hopefully we can get DK to elaborate more when he speaks in 2025 and beyond.

Ruth So it seems that the Moon chain failed, which must of been part of the Venus link, and the Jewish laggards which didn’t pass the last solar Universe initiations had to start again on the Moon chain, but this experiment went haywire and the plug was pulled, so then these souls incarnated onto Earth into animals?

JJ I don’t think the Jews had anything to do with the moon chain. Animals from the moon chain incarnated as animals and humans later incarnated as humans.

Here’s a couple statements DK made on the moon:

“a large number of the present more advanced human beings came into incarnation in the middle of the Atlantean root-race.” Initiation, Human and Solar Pg 45

“As stated in various occult books, many of the present advanced humanity individualized on the moon chain, and only took physical bodies in the earth chain during the fourth root-race (Atlantis) , thus escaping incarnation during the first three rounds, and the first two races of the fourth round.” Treatise on Cosmic Fire Pg 364-5

Re: Questions to JJ – re: Ancient of Days

Ruth: Why wasn’t there right Master relations in the Council Most High to begin with, if they expect us humans to have right human relations?

JJ The key is to understand that good and evil on a lower level is much different than on a higher level.

A good in the eyes of a lion is to eat a human if he crosses his path. In the human kingdom eating a human is considered a great evil.

Now let us look at the human kingdom itself as it has progressed. A couple thousand years ago it was considered good to possess a lot of slaves and use them to your advantage.

Today this would be considered a great evil. What has happened is that which was evil has been moved up a couple notches. There is still slavery today, but it is not so obvious.

The slavery today is that the average taxpayer pays over 50% of his income to Big Brother and he is saddled with many unnecessary laws, rules and regulations.

The good and evil of freedom and slavery is still with us but has moved to a higher level.

Even so it is with the Masters and higher lives.

What is right human relations to them is different than it is to us. Just as we are attempting to move the good and evil of our relationships up a notch so are other lives up the chain. But the problems they have in relationships are much different than ours and the average human would have no idea as to how to deal with or understand that which may be considered a problem for them.

Probably one of the reasons DK never elaborated on the disagreement in Shamballa is that it would be difficult for us to understand the source and the solution to the problem.

Scientology Revelation

This is a spin on Scientology I hadn’t come across before. This was from L Ron Hubbard’s son:

DeWolf declared that his father did no research at all prior to writing Dianetics. In fact he had been working on it for some years. Hubbard often said he had put thirty years of research into it but what he really did was take bits and pieces from other people and give them his own spin. Dianetics allegedly documented the results of Hubbard’s intensive research on almost three hundred “case histories.” But DeWolf says categorically that there was no research. “All were subcreated by Dad. None of them were case histories whatsoever; they were done strictly out of his mind, sitting at a typewriter in a few weeks time.” These “real-life experiences” were “the result of his obsessions with abortions and unconscious states. In fact the vast majority of those incidents were invented off the top of his head. The rest stem from his own secret life, which as deeply involved in the occult and black magic.” This involvement with demonology began when he got hold of Aleister Crowley’s book The Book of Law in Washington, D.C. when he was sixteen. He was interested in the Moonchild, a type of Satanic conception, and in embryo implants getting a demon to inhabit the body of a fetus.

After 1947 when Crowley died, Hubbard came to see himself as the Beast 666 incarnate, the Devil, the Antichrist, just as Crowley had done. He believed that he could become the most powerful being in the universe. Satanism was the only religion in the house. “What a lot of people don’t understand is that Scientology is black magic that is just spread out over a long time period. To perform black magic generally takes a few hours, or, at most, a few weeks. But in Scientology it’s stretched out over a lifetime, and so you don’t see it. Black magic is the inner core of Scientology and it is probably the only part of Scientology that really works. Also you’ve got to realise that my father did not worship Satan. He thought he was Satan. He was one with Satan. He had a direct line of communication and power with him.”

For a more complete story go here:

Keith: These types of characters are interesting because they seem to be knowledgeable enough to be 1st or 2nd degree initiates, who seem to be pulling towards the left hand path permanently. Remember J.J.’s Immortal Series – every disciple of the left was once an initiate of light.

Hitler had 15 food tasters and the only one to survive is still alive and recently gave her first interview. She said this about him:

“He was a vegetarian. He never ate any meat during the entire time I was there,” Full story here:

Check it out. It is an interesting story.

What makes this statement by Hitler’s food taster significant is that many vegetarians have the belief that vegetarians are much more peaceful than meat eaters and Hitler was not a real vegetarian. From my studies I have concluded that he was pretty diligent about his diet though he may have went a little off now and then like most vegetarians do.

Another interesting thing is that as one goes trough the first two initiations he will spend significant time as a vegetarian. There are several reasons for this. One is to gain the self control necessary to become an initiate and secondly a vegetarian diet makes controlling the passions easier and they must be controlled to reach the second degree.

I’ll have to check more deeply into Hubbard’s early years. There are certainly ingredients of Scientology that indicate the left hand path.

 

April 30, 2013

Vegetarian Diet

Ruth: Can the Dark Brothers make and have more accurate prediction/prophesy rates because the Dark side is able to manipulate the lower devas and elementals and they can manipulate the emotional realm and lower mind with their psychology and hypnotic impressions and mass media infiltration with illusions/smoke and mirrors, and can they make predictions of a lower level as false prophets or Antichrists, and then make these predictions appear because of their manipulation with the lower forces?

JJ Those on the left hand path are much worse at accurately predicting than the brothers of light. They get something right now and then but to be a good prophet you need a degree of soul contact but even then you will not be 100% accurate.

Because their focus is on the material side they do have more power to quickly manifest their will on the physical plane but as DK says – when the workers of light manifest the results are much more permanent.

Ruth: Also, why did Hitler bother being a vegetarian. This makes no sense to me.

JJ He probably felt the impulse to do this as he was passing through the first two initiations and merely saw the advantages of it and stayed on it. He must have thought it helped provide better mental clarity and made him more sensitive to his highest contacts.

Ruth: When one is a vegetarian it is to become “lighter” so that soul energies can transfer through more easily etc.

JJ There are many reasons people become vegetarians and that is merely one. Some people just don’t have a taste for meat and others do it for health or to develop psychic abilities.

Someone asked if the vegetarian diet is used by higher initiates.

Many initiates above the second are vegetarians but others are not. If the disciple is going to concentrate on the inner work then the vegetarian diet is very useful. I’m curious of Keith is a vegetarian since he focuses a lot on the inner life.

If the disciple is going to concentrate on the outer life and work then he will usually eat meat or whatever the popular diet is.

Re: Questions to JJ – re: Ancient of Days

Ruth: Who then, is the (Lucifer) Angel that Fell into matter, if not the Ancient of Days? Was it one of the Moon chain souls? Buddha was the highest light from the moon, yet the Moon chain failed.

JJ Lucifer has not been allowed a dense physical body since his fall but lives in an etheric body.

It was actually the good guys who fell into matter. Here is an account by DK:

The Now becomes the time that was. The aeon mergeth into space. The Word of Motion hath been heard. The Word of Love succeedeth. The Past controlled the form. The Now evolves the life. The Day that is to be sounds forth the Word of Power.

The form perfected and the life evolved hold the third secret of the greater Wheel. It is the hidden mystery of living motion. The mystery, lost in the Now but known to the Lord of Cosmic Will.

The thirty thousand million Watchers refused to heed the call. (30 billion out of 90 billion) “We enter not the forms,” they said, “until the seventh aeon.” The twice thirty thousand million (60 Billion) hearkened to the call and took the forms designed.

The rebellious ones laughed within themselves, and sought pralayic peace until the seventh aeon. But the seven great Lords called to the greater Chohans, and with the eternal Lhas of the third cosmic heaven entered into debate.

The dictum then went forth. The laggards in the highest sphere heard it echo through the scheme. “Not till the seventh aeon, but at the fourteenth seventh will the chance again come round. The first shall be the last and time be lost for aeons.”

The obedient Sons of Mind connected with the Sons of Heart, and evolution spiralled on its way. The Sons of Power stayed in their appointed place, though cosmic karma forced a handful to join the Sons of Heart.

At the fourteenth seventh aeon, the Sons of Mind and Heart, absorbed by endless flame, will join the Sons of Will, in manvantaric manifestation. Three times the wheel will turn.

At the centre stand the buddhas of activity, helped by the lords of love, and following their twofold work will come the radiant lords of power.

The buddhas of creation from out the past have come. The buddhas of love are gathering now. The buddhas of will at the final turn of the third major wheel will flash into being. The end will then be consummated. From The Treatise on Cosmic Fire, Pages 25-27

Re: Scientology Revelation

Stephen: During last year’s dark episode, a presence drew close to me that seemed very powerful in my heightened state. It told me to choose the Right Hand Path of Love and to not choose the Left Hand Path of Power. It said what was commonly known as the Dark Path was misrepresented, and that the Path of Power was a more direct route to God, stating that everything served God’s purpose in the end.

JJ As a matter of course be very suspicious of any shortcuts as they are usually scams in real life.

Shortcuts from the darkside has creeped into all philosophies. Here are a few:

Believe in Jesus and be saved. That is all you have to do.

Follow XYZ guru and you wipe out karma.

Support the government borrowing money so we can have free stuff.

Forget about your brother; it’s each man for himself if you want to get ahead.

The key for true advancement is to always follow the path of love and wisdom that includes the whole rather than just the tiny self. The name of Jesus Christ implies that we move up the ladder by taking our brothers with us. If Jesus did not embrace this philosophy he would have taken the kingdoms of the world when they were offered to him.

Some Basics

It looks like we need to reestablish some basics concerning our past.

Point one. The two thirds, or the 60 billion monads, designated for physical bodies are the good guys. These incarnated into physical bodies. They fell only in the senses that they descended from the higher spheres to the dense physical.

The one third fell spiritually. They refused to incarnate thinking that others could do the hard work and when a golden age was ushered in then they would come down and enjoy the fruit of the labors of others.

For this great mistake these were not allowed to take physical bodies at all for a very long period. It is written: “Not till the seventh aeon, but at the fourteenth seventh will the chance again come round. The first shall be the last and time be lost for aeons.”

Among this rebellious third were a number of Lucifers or sons of the Morning but at the foundation of Shamballa there was a particularly advanced one who did not cooperate and formulated his own agenda. None of the rebellious Lucifers are allowed to directly incarnate though they have overshadowed disciples at times and had virtual bodies.

(2) The third who fell to the earth fell no lower than the etheric levels. The fall to earth symbolizes a consciousness that does not rise above the material or lower planes. They either occupy etheric bodies or thoughtforms created by incarnated humans. We thus create our own devils but they are given life by the fallen angels.

Those of us with physical bodies didn’t fall to earth but we descended to earth for a great purpose.

(3) Hitler in a previous incarnation led the Lords of Dark Face in Atlantis overshadowed by a Lucifer.

(4) Giants were created by initiates gone astray in physical bodies. They may have been inspired by members of the fallen third but the fallen did not inhabit their bodies except by shared possession.

(5) There are different grades of etheric matter. It is not a punishment to use any of the grades. The third are punished by being limited to the lower grades and not being allowed to incarnate in the dense physical and use it for their pleasure.

The Ancient of Days does not have this limitation as he can manifest in any grade of matter he desires within the cosmic physical plane. He will incarnate among us at some point in our future.

(6) There have been numerous destructions and recreations. There have been numerous Adam and Eves. The last time this occurred was referenced in the biblical story about 6000 years ago. The Biblical story is a composite to teach basic truths.

 

May 1, 2013

Re: Some Basics            

Dan: That may be but the basic truth I see is that one entity wants to keeps his creation as essentially mindless robots without real consciousness and another wants them to become conscious creators “knowing good from evil”. Now, the ‘ol serpent likely did that for his own purposes but don’t we all ONLY do those things that we think will benefit us?

Regardless, this doesn’t change the fact that IMO the ‘ol snake did us a favor. Lets see, mindless but contented meat robot or conscious decider/creator …. hmmm, decisions decisions decisions.

TRUE choice was not even really POSSIBLE pre-Apple.

JJ There are three interpretations concerning this conundrum.

First is the standard Christian one that all would have been bliss if not for the old serpent getting in the way. The fact that we would have missed the opportunity to expend free will and know good and evil does not seem to bother them.

The second is embraced by HPB and many esoterists. She maintains that the story has the good guys and bad guys mixed up. She thinks that Jehovah is really Satan and the serpent is the benevolent God.

Her reasoning is sound for the serpent seems to support free choice and Jehovah seems to want to keep us in ignorance.

On the other hand, the story does not support the idea that the serpent was God for Jehovah was definitely the more powerful of the two and had power to punish the serpent as well as being the creator of the entire garden situation.

Joseph Smith presents a third view, which is this. Jehovah is the true God and the one who truly supports free agency whereas the serpent wants to control our minds and take it away.

The whole situation was created by God to force humans into a fall where they would discover free will, good and evil and thus have an opportunity to progress. To learn this they had to experience sinning or violating what is perceived as the will of God. He thus gave them a commandment that He knew they would disobey and the serpent was a key element in the plan.

Joseph said that “the serpent knew not the mind of God” and actually cooperated in the plan by tempting them to disobey God, thus introducing sin into the world.

He taught that the serpent was not interested in expanding free will but felt that a fall would give him an opportunity to establish a kingdom where he could set himself up as the ultimate authority. He thought if humans were given knowledge of good and evil that they could not rise above a certain level and thus always be under his dominion.

The ace in the hole for God was Christ who was sent to turn the tide from material focus to the spiritual.

He taught that the difference in the two sides is being played out on earth today with part of humanity fighting for free will and freedom and the other supporting the things that take away free will. Some of these things are big government, too many laws and regulations, centralized authority with power over us, and high taxes.

If one doesn’t know for sure which version, if any, is correct then all he need to is concentrate on the understanding of true principles. When one understands the principle of freedom and supports whoever is on its side he will automatically find himself on the side of the good guys high or low.

Keys Writings 2013, Part 11

Joseph Dewey
This entry is part 11 of 25 in the series 2013

April 17, 2013

Male/Female Polarization

Nathan writes: According to your teachings, it is demeaning. You place the emotional lower in spiritual evolution than the mental and that the mental should guide the emotional, so by saying that women are more involved in the emotional and that men are more involved in the mental you are effectively saying that women are generally the lesser of the two sexes and that things are best when men are guiding women the most.

JJ First, it is an obviously fact, almost universally acknowledged by both men and woman, that females are more in touch with their feeling nature than men. One of the common complaints among females about males is that they do not communicate their feelings well.

It is true that the plane of the mind is above the emotional but few people either male or female function on it. When we speak generically about the mind as far as men being polarized in it we speak of the mind as commonly understood, not esoterically understood. The mind as commonly understood means focusing on brain activity and the highest reason available to consciousness.

To say that a person is polarized in the emotional nature is no more demeaning than saying that a football player like Tom Brady is polarized, or has the majority of his focus, on the physical plane where football is played. Because his focus is on the physical or the lowest of the planes does not mean the guy is not evolved. On the other hand, his business agent who may be lesser evolved than him is probably polarized on the mental side.

Now Tom uses his mind when he makes plays and certainly shows his emotions when he causes a turnover but his attention overall has to focus on the physical game. That is not demeaning but has brought him great glory.

A female because of her birth is pulled toward the emotional side but has a brain and mind with as much ability as a male and can use it to her heart’s content whenever she wants to focus on it.

It’s a little like this. If you are in a rowboat in a flowing stream and can go either direction which one are you likely to choose – the upstream or downstream? Downstream is much easier so most will choose that, but a few will struggle and decide to go upstream for the challenge.

For males the flow of the stream is reversed. A male-female team are powerful together when they rely on each other to move them one direction or the other according to their inherent natures.

Gays are another matter. They are only slightly polarized so they are like a person rowing in a lake where there is little push from the water.

Less than 10% of humanity can function on the plane of the mind and far less than 1% have mastered it. A female can be polarized in the emotional nature yet function on the plane of the mind which is polarized in the male.

The nest plane up is the intuitive (buddhic) and that is higher than the mental plane and polarized in the female energy. Those who seek to function on this plane must focus on the female/receiving side to bring down concepts from the higher planes. Both males and females must apply the same principles.

Nathan: You also say that the Left is composed mostly of femininity. How is that not demeaning towards women?

JJ It is a proven fact that the females as a whole do lean left. I have you the ironclad evidence on this when I posted the chapter from my book. It is your judgment, not mine that it is demeaning. You’re basically saying reality is demeaning here.

Both sides have their flaws and must check themselves from going too far in either energy. There are also cycles involved. There are times when it is good to have the feeling/creative side dominate and other times the mental/reasoning. Right now with the tremendous overspending problem an extra dose of reason in politics would come in handy. Many politicians feel we need to spend more money on helping people but the mind must step in and make these expenditures fit into a budget.

You’ll notice that the receivers of extra worldly information are mostly women whether they be lower direct voice channelers or higher initiatives like AAB, HBP, Helena Roerich and Helen Schucman. Receiving is going with the current for females but against the current for the males. That’s why we do not like to ask for directions.

LWK On the other hand, when Isaac Newton supposedly sets under an apple tree and gets hit on the head, is that a metaphor of him pulling pure knowledge _down_ from a higher plane?

JJ A great mind like Newton used the intuition but went even beyond it to the Atmic, the realm of direct contact with ideas, which shifts again to the male polarization. As evidence of this you’ll note that men place many more patents than females.

Planes 1, 3 and 5 are dominated by male energy and 2, 4 and 6 by female. Plane seven, the divine is very slightly male. This slight imbalance is essential for the creation of form. To get an idea of how slight it is compare the amount of empty space in the universe to the places where physical matter exists.

 

April 19, 2013

More on Intuition

LWK indicated I was not consistent in my use of the word “intuition” so I thought I would add a few words of clarification to the many I have already written.

There are two basic hurdles that must be overcome for the esoteric student.

(1) Average people use the word to convey a wide variety of meanings.

(2) The common definitions differ significantly from the metaphysical one, as the common one is much broader.

Here are a couple orthodox definitions:

(A) An ability to know or understand something through your feelings, instead of by considering facts or evidence more… (B) Instinctive knowing (without the use of rational processes) (C) An impression that something might be the case.

All of these are applicable for common usage but not very usable for the esoteric student. In fact, the use of the word as used in the Ancient Wisdom is so narrowed a completely new word may have been in order to avoid confusion. Robert Heinlein did this with the word Grok or a process of taking in understanding in his book “Stranger in a Strange Land.”

For our studies, forget about intuition as applied to getting something from emotional feelings, lower psychism or instinct. The one thing the student must accomplish to use true intuition is to penetrate the intuitive or Buddhic plane with his consciousness. This taps in to still higher planes where all true principles as well as the seed ideas behind all creation lie.

I have said that intuition brings a flashing forth within the mind that leads to greater understanding, especially concerning principles, but the application is broader than this.

Contact with the intuitive plane can lead to higher psychism such as conscious channeling. With lower psychism the medium goes into a trance and is not conscious of what is given out in the trance state. This takes place through the astral body and the data is often not reliable.

The conscious channeler touches the intuitive plane with the higher mind and gathers true impressions or receives by mental telepathy from either her higher self or higher lives. Thus Alice A. Bailey used intuitive abilities to receive from DK though it might be more accurate to call the process telepathy rather than applying intuition.

The most common form of true intuition involves that flashing forth in the mind where understanding is enhanced.

When one achieves some mastery of the intuitive plane he then seeks to access the Atmic plane where the seed ideas of creation reside. Once this is achieved he not only receives through the intuition but becomes a Knower by achieving direct access to this plane.

Re: More on Intuition

Dan: I think you said something the other day about inventors tapping into the Atmic. 1) Does an invention ALWAYS involve tapping in to the Atmic,

JJ No. Many inventions are created because of a need that is mentally deduced and is a logical sequence of need. It is the inventions that are a leap that tap into the Atmic.

To understand let us look at the difference between a couple of inventions by Tesla and Edison.

Edison’s most famous invention was the light bulb. The idea of creating a light bulb, I’m sure occurred to thousands of people before it materialized but no one knew how to put the ingredients together, including Edison. What made Edison different was he had the resources and determination to make the 10,000 logical experiments necessary to finally achieve success.

My best guess concerning Edison is this. The idea of creating a light bulb was a logical deduction created by his rational mind. However, after much contemplation, he tapped into the intuitive plane and saw that the creation had a true reality on a higher plane. This gave him faith and a knowing that a light bulb could be materialized on the physical plane.

On the other hand, Tesla’s most famous invention was the Tesla Coil. This was an entirely different animal than the light bulb. It was a natural and logical thing for many people to dream of creating a light bulb but few if any daydreamed about creating a coil that could transfer energy as did this and even led to the invention of the radio.

Many of Tesla’s inventions give evidence that he directly tapped into the Atmic plane and understood how the ideas worked from that point. Edison received intuitively and conjured mentally and had to figure out on the mental plane how to make the ideas work.

There is a similar difference between Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Gates receives an inner confirmation of innovations that can be accomplished and he proceeds mentally. Jobs saw a vision from a higher plane and saw ideas that were beyond the regular reasoning process. Now Jobs was not as evolved as Tesla, but the difference between him and Gates is quite similar to Edison and Tesla.

Dan; 2) Has the prolific inventor likely already mastered the mental or buddhic/intuitive planes?, and

JJ See above. Some have, some have not.

Dan 3) I think you have said that mastery of the planes is progressive, so that one masters first the mental, then the intuitive, and then the atmic but that one may get “flashes” of contact with the next one or two “up” without mastery, is that correct?

JJ Yes, it is progressive but with gaps. A common example of these gaps is the intelligent nerd that so many movies are made of. The nerd character is very smart, gets all A’s, is a computer whiz etc. On the other hand, his emotional intelligence is very low and he does not understand that world. The third plane is thus more developed than his second and he must eventually spend time developing this before he can move on to higher things.

lwk A classic example of your “waffling” on your definition of “intuition.” First you say that AAB used “intuitive abilities” but then say to the effect that, “Well no, it was actually telepathy” which you say is a more “accurate” description.

JJ Let me put it this way. There is no telepathy without the attainment of the intuition, but one can be intuitive and not have the ability to be telepathic. The intuition opens the door to a large number of abilities, similar to soul contact, for one needs a degree of soul contact to access the intuitive plane.

A true telepathic person thus uses the intuition to access an evolved mind. He receives these mental concepts in a similar manner to the receiving of flashes of understanding from the mind of God.

Ruth If inventors can tap into these ideas, then that means that there was a beginning to all these ideas

JJ You’d better hope this isn’t true because you are an idea in the mind of God and if you had a beginning then you will have an end.

Ideas have no beginning or end. Will there ever be a time when the idea of a light bulb cannot exist? No. And this means that it neither had a beginning.

What does have a beginning is the incarnation of ideas. These have both a beginning and end. I have often given the example of a melody to illustrate this. The ingredients for the song Yesterday have always existed in the Eternal Now. Lennon and McCartney brought it into incarnation. Eventually all that creates its incarnation will be destroyed and it will not exist in the physical plane. But then eventually there will be new creations and the song will incarnate again but with an altered arrangement.

This principle also applies to us as eternal beings.

The Russian Jesus

A while back Dean referenced an interesting video about a Russian guy (Vissarion) who claims to be Jesus reincarnated.

There are three things that make him interesting.

(1) He actually has a following, about 5,000 dedicated disciples. (2) He is gathering his people in a plot of land and building a community. (3) Even though he seems to exercise the authority of the beast he appears to have good intentions to prepare a people for calamities to come. (4) He has taken a desolate area in Siberia and turned it in to a beautiful and productive food producing community. Not quite a Garden of Eden but very nice considering the circumstances.

DK made the prediction that a beautiful new religion would come out of Russia so I always check out any movement that seems to be afoot there. This group, despite its faults, is a possibility.

That said here are some of the negatives.

(1) A beastly control over peoples lives. Inhabitants have to rise at a certain hour. Do prayers and then go to work. Their diet is regulated and they must be vegetarians. They feel the need to ask their guru for permission for all kinds of mundane things. They basically give up most worldly things.

(2) Most sell everything they have and give it to the guru and if they leave it appears they get no money back. I’m not positive of this but indications point in this direction.

(3) Though he claims to be Jesus he is not much like him. He performs no miracles and does not teach like him in profound words and parables. I believe that he really thinks he is Jesus but do not believe he is.

Here are several things I pulled from the internet:

(His book) was extremely detailed: it contained God’s opinion on whether or not you should always wipe your feet when coming indoors, for example. The community also aimed to return to 18th century levels of technology, in spite of their enthusiastic embrace of the Internet and mobile phones- a contradiction surely, but then what faith is without contradictions?

The next day however my grudging admiration received a jolt when I attended an open air meeting between Vissarion and the villagers. I was simply stunned by the banality of their moral dilemmas: they wanted to know what brands of washing powder were acceptable to God, and whether it was okay to laugh at dirty jokes. There was nothing dangerous or surprising in his answers, but that was the problem. Link

If there was anything interesting to learn from the cult, it wasn’t coming from their Messiah. It was certainly intriguing to see the hyrdid religion Vissarion had created for his followers, but we didn’t learn much about that from his on-screen appearances. It’s a strange mixture of old-fashioned Christianity and new-age paganism, with lots of dancing and singing in circles, which at time made parts of the documentary look like scenes from the Wicker Man (albeit without the sex and human sacrifice). To Vissarion’s followers, Earth is a Gaia-like, sentient organism that man has brought to the brink of ruin, and they’re pulling it back in their own small way through their subsistence farming and veganism. http://blog.newhumanist.org.uk/2010/03/hes-not-messiah-just-very-boring-boy.html

Ruth: He looks like another Chris Nemelka!

JJ I noticed that resemblance also. He seems to be a nicer guy though.

Re: Male/Female Polarization

John C If she doesn’t understand his feelings, how can she claim that he is not communicating them “well”? What does “well” mean? From an emotional viewpoint, “well” could mean “I don’t feel good about the way he expresses his feelings.” From a mental viewpoint, “well” could mean “Given the current situation, observing his body language, and listening to his words, and trying to empathize with him, his words do not accurately reflect what I think he is apparently feeling.” There is a 98% chance that both of them are speaking from the plane of the emotions, so neither side is trustworthy. It’s like insanity trying to explain itself.

JJ Yes, most men and women are polarized on the emotional plane and because they see emotion through different filters they often have major problems in understanding each other. This is an eternal source of good comedy and philosophy. John Gray certainly capitalized on this through his books on the idea that Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus.

Here are several links that look into the emotional differences between men and women.

Emotional Wiring Different in Men and Women Link

Men and women do think differently, at least where the anatomy of the brain is concerned, according to a new study.

Men can’t read women’s emotions, study confirms.

Women have higher rates of depression,post-traumatic stress disorder and other anxiety problems than men. Link

 

April 23, 2013

Re: Male/Female Polarization

Dean: Maybe I need to make it more obvious since you don’t seem to get it still. When someone talks about past lives they are effectively going into the realm of parallel universes.

JJ I’ve seen a lot of ideas on past lives but this is a new one. Did you think this up on your own?

Our recent past lives did not take place on a parallel universe but in this universe on planet earth. Sure you can argue with someone who claims to be some great one in a past life. If they show no evidence of greatness in this life then why should we consider they could have more intelligence and talent in the past then the present?

Re: JJ Quote – Telepathy

Okay Dean, your major point has finally sunk in. You agree with very little I say and do not think I even deserve to teach anything in this or any other forum because you don’t think I know what I’m talking about and that I’m leading people astray. Your mission is to examine with a jaundice eye every word I write and then do all in your power to discredit me.

I’ve given you lots of rope to attempt this over the years but you’ve reached the point where you are a boring distraction. I won’t ban you from the list but will place you on moderation. From now all all that will get through will be posts that will have some semblance of interest to the group and are non destructive in nature.

If you need to vent you can go to the conflict page I created just for you Here: https://freeread.com/archives/4297

Revisiting Obama Last President

Keith writes:

A few weeks ago I posted the thought that Obama might be the last President of the United States.  I was surprised when others searched the internet and found others who have said the same.

Anyway, the other night on coast to coast the infamous Ed Dames made the same claim that Obama will be the last President of the United States.

Now I find this article  claiming the same.

There seems to be something in the collective consciousness spewing this thought form.  Only time will tell if this outrageous prediction has any substance.  Whether it does or not – I am convinced that man in the White House is no friend of the Republic.

JJ I don’t see Obama becoming a dictator though following a natural course of events. For one thing, I don’t see Congress cooperating in disarming citizens which would be necessary for a dictatorship to surface.

It would be possible though if a major even or crisis materialized. Such triggers could be a major economic collapse or a nuclear attack on us. Even one nuclear bomb going off could create a great danger that could lead to dictatorship with someone like Obama in charge.

One of the great dangers we face is a electromagnetic pulse created by one nuclear bomb detonated above the atmosphere that could knock out our electronic grid. Here’s a synopsis of a book on the subject:

 

I recall that during the days of Nixon that there were many predictions afloat that he would be the last president. Sometimes there is just a thoughtform afloat that many pick up on. On the other hand, there are times when true disaster is possible.

Another thing of interest going rounds is the skeleton of a tiny human skeleton which many assume to be proof of aliens. Here are some comments on it from Coast to Coast:

Greer, who has recently published a paper on the latest scientific findings related to the humanoid, said that the specimen is an actual organism and not a hoax. According to him, the world’s foremost skeletal expert has determined that, despite its diminutive size, the entity was actually six to eight years old when it died. Stanford University professor Dr. Garry Nolan joined the conversation in the latter half of the first hour to share his thoughts on the Atacama humanoid. While he acknowledged that it is “very, very, very likely to be human,” Nolan conceded that the findings so far have presented unique paradoxes which prevent making that determination with any certainty.

Here’s another story on the subject with pictures:

Keith: I get the feeling (astral) ‘Something Wicked Comes this Way’. Another astral feeling I keep getting is the ‘Sword of Damocles’ hanging over us all just waiting to fall.

JJ I’ve felt that way for some time. Hopefully our luck will hold out until 2025. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee.

Octaves

Thanks for your comments Larry. You’ve included a lot of food for thought. I’ll just make a few comments on octaves.

Most are familiar with an octave in music. There are seven notes in the scale and when one repeats on the higher or lower frequency then it is said to be a higher or lower octave. The higher octave is generally twice the frequency of the lower. This similar vibration, which is doubled, causes a similar resonance.

The symbol of the octave can be used correctly in many circumstances where the Law of Correspondences is at play. It is most appropriately used where the Law of Cycles is being examined. The cycles of history are a good example. For instance, in the past cycles slavery of other humans was the norm rather than the exception. The first known example of major emancipation was the Israelites under Moses who escaped from Egypt. But even after this event slavery was still very prevalent. The Israelites were mainly concerned that they be free and were not concerned about other nations.

The next cycle was initiated by Jesus who taught the freedom of the human spirit, even if it was threatened by imprisonment and death. Next came the great American Civil war led by Abraham Lincoln. This not only led to freedom of the slaves in the United States but emancipation of other enslaved peoples throughout the world. One of the greatest benefits was the increased sensitivity of the entire human race on this issue. Each new cycle illustrates the Law of Correspondences manifesting on what could be called a higher octave of slavery consciousness.

What’s next?

People are slaves today and do not realize it. We are slaves to big government, high taxes and lots of beastly authorities barking orders to us. In this next cycle or octave the enlightened will free themselves from such things. How this will manifest will be interesting.

The octave is thus fitting to use in connection with the Law of Cycles. On the other hand, it doesn’t fit so well where an entirely new creation is manifest. For instance, someday a universe of eight will manifest and it will be so different that looking at it as a higher octave would not shed any light. There are repetitions of creations in this universe though where it could apply. For instance, this earth is a higher octave or note of a previous one that existed billions of years ago as you are a higher octave or note of one of your past lives. On the other hand, the kingdoms are so different that the octave concept does not apply well. Is a dog a higher octave of a cactus? They are two separate creations composed of very different chords, notes and rays.

However, there is much light to be gained from studying the octave principle along with sympathetic resonance and vibration as a whole.

Housing Bubble            

The Left keeps saying that they had nothing to do with the housing bubble by pushing bad loans that caused the crash in 2008. Now they are pushing bad loans again and if another crash occurs I am sure they will deny responsibility again. Check this out.

Obama administration pushes banks to make home loans to people with weaker credit. Link

Re: Housing Bubble

Nathan writes: I see that, but how you and JJ go from there to it all being the fault of the left still makes no sense to me.

JJ There is not getting around the fact that it was the Left who pushed unqualified loans to the poor and minorities. Bush also went further than he should have encouraging low qualified loans but even he thought it was going too far and tried to put the breaks on, but was overridden by the Democrats. After the bankers were forced into accumulating a lot of questionable paper they decided to get rid of it by bundling it and selling them to investors. These shenanigans led to the housing collapse which led to the economic collapse.

Now it looks like the Democrats have not learned their lesson for Obama is pushing for these bad loans to be made all over again. I don’t see any Republicans, conservatives or libertarians supporting such nonsense.

I merely put the blame where the blame deserves to be.

Re: Housing Bubble            

Good comments Larry. What many do not take into consideration is that every entity whether it be a human or business will work in the direction of self interest. Whenever there is a financial problem many point to businesses and accuse them of being greedy as if they used to be good guys but they recently turned into monsters. This, of course, is silly. They always work in the direction of self interest.

When there is a problem we should not look at the greed, because there is always greed which is consistent. Instead, we need to look at what has changed that could have created the problem. What changed to create the financial meltdown was the easy credit forced by the government which created bad loans that were passed on to trusting investors.

Greed and self interest does not change. Government policies do and they are usually the source of our problems – and once in a blue moon our solutions.

Some think the real estate agents are partially to blame for setting high prices but I was in real estate and the agent usually winds up being the one fighting for the lower price so he can make a sale. The scenario often goes something like this.

Owner: I see the neighbor has his home for sale for $300,000. If his is worth that much then mine is worth $400,000

Agent: But you’ll notice that the neighbors house has been on the market for a couple months and has not sold. The reason is that it is overpriced. Here is a price comparison I have done for you giving you three nearby homes that have actually sold. Based on this research a good selling price for you would be $280,000.

Owner: But I need more than that. I think it’s worth a least $320,000

Agent: What you need doesn’t sell the house. What sells it is a competitive price.

Owner: I’m going to check out another agent.

Agent: Fine, but if he lists it for $320,000 the chances of a sale are low. Can you afford to have it on the market for three months for $320,000 and then still wind up selling it for $280,000?

Owner: That would be tough. Okay, if you are sure then we’ll list with you for $280,000.

You say: If you give this degree of power to government then people in government will find ways to abuse that power, no matter how carefully you try to watch them.

This reminds me of a scripture: D&C 121:39 We have learned by sad experience that it is the nature and disposition of almost all men, as soon as they get a little authority, as they suppose, they will immediately begin to exercise unrighteous dominion. D&C 121:40 Hence many are called, but few are chosen.

(Comment on a post) Being a former real estate agent if I had realized during the first part of the bubble how easy the financing had become I would have jumped in and taken advantage of the madness myself and would be a lot better off financially than I an now – that’s for sure. The agents certainly had an easy life for a while and if you think any of them refused the easy financing on some strange moral ground – think again.

A question of Jesus predictions?            

Tom writes: JJ, once said that some of Jesus predictions of the future were wrong like other masters the future is depended on free will. Can you point to the past archives about this so that I may read them.

Here is one reference: Let me tell you a prophecy that Jesus made that did not come true. Do you remember that Jesus was talking about the temple and He said that there would not be one stone left upon another in the temple. Did that come true? Have you ever heard of the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem? That is a piece of the temple where there is still one stone upon another. There are seven layers above ground and 17 below ground that been intact since the days of Jesus. So even that prophecy spoken by the Master Himself did not come 100% true. Interesting, is it not?

So this is the secret about prophecy that there is no person on the earth and not even God, no life form anywhere can predict everything that is going to happen. Now all the believers will say that is wrong, If I snap my fingers then they are saying that God knew a million years ago that I was going to do this at this time. Well the big question I have is why in the world would God even want to know that? Why would He want fill His universal mind with such clutter and trivial detail? Who would want to fill their mind with such clutter? https://freeread.com/archives/3637

Here was the prophecy made by Jesus: “And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.” Matt 24:1-2

Note that the prediction refers to the “buildings of the temple.” There are a number of these buildings that still have one stone upon another.

My point was that no one, not even God can predict every detail that will happen in the future. The temple was destroyed in 70AD and Jesus’ prediction of the destruction of the temple did come true, just not 100% literally.

Here’s another one: “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matt 24:14

Christianity has been preached in all the nations of the earth and the end still hasn’t come.

The account of Jesus was written after the fact and if Jesus did give any obviously questionable predictions the faithful followers probably wouldn’t have included them.

The point is that no human being in the flesh is infallible especially in the prediction department. This is why I give predictions very sparingly. Most psychics are only 10% accurate and the best of the prophets are lucky to be at 50%. Even DK was about 50% accurate.

Seeing some fallibility in the great teachers should in no way diminish their value. Only a representative of the beast will demand 100% belief that they are without error.

Here’s some information on the Wailing Wall:

Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives The view of old Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives where Jesus would give his teaching in Matthew 24 was beautiful. There is no other place in Jerusalem to view the city like this. The Mount of Olives is to the East of the present Golden Gates. In the days of Jesus and the Apostles a person would look West to view the beloved city. There could be seen the rectangular walls made of large stones perfectly laid one upon another. The walls of the city enclose the Temple, several buildings, many homes, and the tower of Antonia. Around the Temple there are other walls known today as the Haram esh-Sharif (the Noble Enclosure). The stones of the lower courses in those walls are “STILL” in their exact positions as they were in the days of Jesus. They are STILL one on top of the other and do not appear to have been moved from their original alignments. These lower stones are clearly from the era of Herod’s temple, and in some places on the eastern side the large stones were laid by someone before Herod’s remodel job, perhaps by Nehemiah. It is now known from excavations and archaeological digs that there are more hundreds of these stones still in the SAME place as they were in the time of Herod and Jesus. Did the prophecy of Jesus fail? What then is the interpretation of this?

While the Jewish Department of Antiquity has allowed archaeological research in this area they have not made public the number of these stones still one on top of the other. Part of the problem is that prior to Jerusalem being destroyed, the Romans build dirt ramparts along the side of the walls in an effort to bring their battering rams closer to beat against them. These mounds of dirt covered up a number of courses of the stones that were visible when Jesus made his prophecy. On the inside of the walls, debris from the burned out structures and dirt also piled up and many of the lower concourses escaped being thrown down at that time. With extensive excavations this dirt and debris has been removed and now for the first time in nearly 2000 years most of these stones are now exposed and visible ready for judgment. At the site of the Western Wall (called the “Wailing Wall”) there are seven ancient courses that can be seen. There are about 450 original Herodian stones still there one on top of the other. In addition to this, there are eight more courses of these original stones underneath the ground. The bottom of these reach down to the actual ground level in the time of Jesus. While we cannot count the next stones in the prophecy of Jesus, there are yet nine more courses of foundation stones beneath these. If just one part of the “Wailing Wall” could be laid bare, we would be able to count nearly 1,250 stones still right on top of each other right where they were in the days of Jesus (Meir Ben-Dov, Mordechai Naor, Zeev Aner, “The Western Wall,” pp.61, 215). http://www.jesus-messiah.com/prophecy/not-one-stone.html

Then there was the question that the word should be translated building singular rather than “buildings.”

In the context in which the word was used it has been pretty much unanimously agreed that the translation is “buildings.’ Even the Concordant translation renders it buildings, plural. Here are numerous other translations:

Fair Warning

The “will” is accurate unless some major change occurs.

Without a major change, and if we are lucky, we could survive economically longer than the critics estimate. We could go until 2025.

However more stupid policies, such as more easy mortgage credit promoted by Obama, or more stimulus could bring the date much closer. A more likely thing to cause us problems is some perfect financial storm or an international crises. For instance, some are predicting that North Korea will strike on Wednesday. This alone could cause some type of meltdown.

There are so many variables that I do not think the Masters can predict the details but the casual observer knows that at least a partial meltdown most likely is on the horizon.

 

April 8, 2013

Re: JJ, a question of Jesus predictions?            

The writer Earnest Martin that you referenced makes an interesting case for the Wailing Wall not being the location of the temple but instead the temple was built around Gihon Spring some distance away on the southeast ridge of Jerusalem.

It would be interesting if this were true for, if accepted by the Jews, it would open the door to them building the third temple on real estate that is presently accessible to them without disturbing the sacred Muslim shrine – The Dome of the Rock.

It would also give more credibility to the prediction of Jesus that not one stone would be left upon another for the temple buildings.

On the other hand, Martin is far from putting the controversy to rest.

Here are a couple articles countering Martin:

Link 1

Link 2

Part of Martin’s argument for the Gihon Spring location is that it was the only source of water for the temple but new archeological evidence proves otherwise. Here is the headline:

Cistern dated to First Temple period found in Jerusalem “Discovery of large man-made reservoir next to the Temple Mount shows city did not solely rely on the Gihon Spring for its water 2,500 years ago. Link

Archaelogist, Leen Ritmeyer believes he made a positive identification of the original wall footings, carved in the bedrock of Es Sakhra (“the Rock” in Arabic). He shows that these cleared areas correspond to the precise dimensions of the walls enclosing the Holy of Holies. Then, in the exact center of this supposed enclosure,

Precisely in the center of the Holy of Holies as laid out by Ritmeyer, is a rectangular cutout in the bedrock measuring 4 ft 4 in x 2 ft 7 in. Based on his measurement of the Biblical “cubit,” Ritmeyer suggests the Ark was exactly this size. Thus, according to Ritmeyer, the Ark once sat at the exact center of the Holy of Holies in this very indentation on es-Sakhra beneath the Dome of the Rock!

Here is his book on Amazon:

Now back to my original point.

Our faith should not rely on the infallibility of any person of flesh and blood, even Jesus. If it becomes necessary for our teachers to become infallible then we will either be disappointed or go into denial and throw up a wall between ourselves and the truth.

If Jesus was literally correct about the prediction about the temple fine and if not that is fine too. The principles he taught speak to the soul and that is the important thing.

Peace and Freedom

(Response to a reader who thinks we start ward for the sake of peace) Peace and freedom are not the same thing. You can have quite a bit of freedom in the midst of turbulence and no freedom where there is peace as in North Korea. The people are not allowed to not be at peace with everything imposed upon them.

If you think you are right then give me a quote from someone who started a war to obtain peace, What’s that I hear?

Silence.

You must not have studied history. Many wars were started merely to obtain greater power. Hitler’s peace was not threatened by the Jews, England or anyone else. Saddam invaded Kuwait when they were no threat to his peace and Argentina invaded the Falklands merely for the sake of power. They in no way threatened him. I have never heard of anyone starting a war to obtain peace and neither have you except in your fertile imagination.

The Goal of Peace            

Dean: Very unlikely I would be silent about something I know is true.

JJ Then why were you completely silent on supplying a quote that I requested?

You seem to have forgotten what the argument is. I said that people do not start wars for the sake of peace because wars take away peace. But when a war is started then people seek peace.

You disagree with this obvious truth for some strange reason and you have not been able to give any evidence that I am not correct – yet you continue.

Keeping this in mind let us look at your quotes:

(1) “The ultimate goal of a just war is to re-establish peace. More specifically, the peace established after the war must be preferable to the peace that would have prevailed if the war had not been fought. ” that quote in particular comes from a document at Mount Holyoke College. http://wr.victas.uca.org.au/

JJ Did someone at Holyoke start a war???? I don’t think so. Why did you give me this?

By the way I can’t even find this quote on the site you referenced.

Actually the quote is correct. As I said as part of my argument the goal of a war in progress is to have a peaceful end, but that is not the argument. I said that a war is not started for to obtain peace because a war takes away peace, duh.

Dean I’ll give you a quote from one of the dumbest leaders on the planet. So you definitely know that anyone could say it……

JJ And if Bush is smarter than you, what does that say about you? At least he has a degrees from Yale and Harvard.

Dean: Lets look at what George W Bush has said.

“I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we’re really talking about peace”- George W. Bush

JJ He was making my point not yours. When you’re in a war, as he was involved in the War with Afghanistan when he made the statement June of 2002 then the goal is peace. But you don’t go to war for peace. The war was started by Osama Ben Laden and he didn’t start it for the sake of peace. He wanted to take away peace.

Dean: For starters I don’t agree that north Korea is in peace. They are threatening other countries like the US with nuclear war.

JJ I thought it was extremely obvious I was talking about peace IN North Korea, and not their relations with other nations. The strong authority creates peace – not a good peace but a people who do not cause any problem or disturb the peace within the country. The same goes for Cuba. The people are very tranquil. True, it’s not a desirable situation and not the peace of the soul but tranquil and peaceful nevertheless.

Dean Secondly, Peace is generally based on well being and happiness.

JJ You’re thinking of inner peace. Many people who commit suicide live in situations where there is outer peace and that is the subject at hand. Can you please argue with what I say and not what I neither say, believe or think?

Women and Mind

Nathan: Okay, so this whole time you’ve been demeaning women saying that they operate emotionally and that men operate mentally, yet here you cite an article that claims the complete opposite–that women are basically outshining men mentally. Which is it Larry?

JJ Why is it demeaning to say that women are polarized in the emotional nature? Are emotions a bad thing in your mind? I certainly am glad to have them. Using your logic it would also be a bad thing to say men are polarized in he mental.

Women doing better in school school has nothing to do with mental or emotional polarization. Many very emotional people are very good students because they study rather than daydream all the time among other reasons.

An emotionally polarized person uses his brain just as much as the mental, but using your computer brain does not a metal polarization make. It is determined by how decisions are actually made rather than test scores.

Keys Writings 2013, Part 9

Joseph Dewey
This entry is part 9 of 25 in the series 2013

The Thinker Examines Sin and Salvation

Thinker: So, what is your thinking on the atonement of Christ?

True Believer: I believe he died for my sins and through the shedding of his blood I am saved.

 

Thinker: And what have you done to be saved?

True Believer: I believe on Him and accept the gift he has given me.

 

Thinker: And what are you saved from?

True Believer: My sins.

 

Thinker: All your sins or part of them?

True Believer: All of them, of course.

 

Thinker: Are you saved now?

True Believer: Yes, I’m saved through the blood of Jesus.

 

Thinker: Does this mean that your past sins will be as if they never happened?

True Believer: Yes.

 

Thinker: Theft is a sin, is it not?

True Believer: Yes. The scripture says, “Thou shalt not steal.”

 

Thinker: Let us suppose that before you were saved you robbed a guy on the street of his money that was going to pay for an operation to save his daughter’s life. Without the money the kid dies but shortly thereafter you find Jesus and get saved. Is the kid still dead?

True Believer: Of course.

 

Thinker: So, even though you are now saved, your sin still has a terrible effect and the father hates your guts. Sounds like your sin still has an effect even though you accept Jesus.

True Believer: Well, I suppose our sins have a residual effect in this world, but when we accept the atonement we have a clean slate in God’s eyes for the next world.

 

Thinker: So, even though you are saved your sins have an effect in this world but none in the next.

True Believer: Yes.

 

Thinker: Let us suppose that the sick girl was not saved when she died but was on the verge of it and would have found Jesus if she had lived. Because of your sin then she goes to hell instead of heaven. Does that sound like your sin will have no effect in the next world?

True Believer: There’s no way to tell if she would have been saved.

 

Thinker: We do know that a lot of kids do eventually accept Christ.  That is a fact and in our example we are talking about one of these. Now, let us place ourselves in the kid’s position after death. There she is suffering in hell with the realization that she was going to turn her life around if she had lived, but this didn’t happen because of you. She curses your name even as you are enjoying bliss with Jesus. Does that sound like your sin has no effect in the next world?

True Believer: God will take away the memory of my sins so I will not be affected by anyone in hell.

 

Thinker: Where does it say that in the Bible?

True Believer: I’m not sure.  It’s in there somewhere.

 

Thinker: Wrong.  It’s not in there. And even if this strange idea were true it would be pretty cold hearted to ignore the eternal suffering of a child, by blotting out the memory, when that suffering was your fault. Don’t you agree?

True Believer: God’s ways are not man’s ways.  If we could understand God then it would all make sense.  We can’t use the reasoning of this world.

 

Thinker: But it sounds like you are using the reasoning from your mind in this world to make sense of the atonement.  What makes you think that reasoning from your thinking in this world is correct?

True Believer: That’s what faith is all about.

 

Thinker: So your faith is based on the reasoning of this world?

True Believer: You’re twisting things. My faith is based on the Bible, the Word of God.

 

Thinker: And what makes you think you understand it since you have to use your worldly mind to read it?

True Believer: The Bible is clear.  I just accept what it says.

 

Thinker: Let’s see if you accept this:

Gal 6:4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

Gal 6:5 For every man shall bear his own burden.

Gal 6:6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.

Gal 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

 

Would you read verse five for me?

 

True Believer: “For every man shall bear his own burden.”

 

Thinker: Does that sound like Jesus is going to negate the effects of our mistakes or sins?

True Believer: You’re taking things out of context.

 

Thinker: But the context continues in verse seven. Read that.

True Believer: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”

 

Thinker: So, even though you have found Jesus this does not negate the fact that you robbed a guy and caused his daughter to die and go to hell. What do you suppose this will cause you to reap?

True Believer: I will reap heaven because I am saved.

 

Thinker: Not so fast.  Read Revelations 14:13

True Believer: “And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.”

 

 

Thinker: So, even though you now accept Jesus and are righteous what happens to your works?

True Believer: (He doesn’t want to answer.)

 

Thinker: Since you won’t say it, I will.  It says “their works do follow them.” It is clear here that it is speaking of our works following us into the next world. Concerning our debts, Jesus said something interesting. He stated that those who are cast into prison “shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.” Matt 5:26

 

So let us sum these scriptures up.  They tell us that we will bear our own burdens, that we reap what we have sown, that our works follow us to the next world, and finally we have to pay our debts to the “uttermost farthing.” That doesn’t sound like a simple belief in Jesus is going to instantly undue all the damage created by the robber who cost the girl her life, does it?

True Believer: But the scriptures clearly say we are saved by the blood of Jesus. How do you explain that?

 

Thinker: One of the problems with the scriptures is that those who prize them greatly often misinterpret them the most. A prime example, from the Christian viewpoint, is the ancient Jews belief in the Messiah. From diligently reading the scriptures they thought he was going to come as a conquering hero, destroy the wicked and restore the kingdom to Israel. Did that happen?

True Believer: No.

 

Thinker: Correct. They missed reality by miles. He had no army, he said to love our enemies and his kingdom was not of this world. Yet you can’t blame them because when you read the Old Testament it does sound like they could have been right. Have you ever considered that you may also have wrong interpretations of the scriptures?

True Believer: No, because I interpret them just the way they are written.

 

Thinker: And so did the Jews who were looking for a conquering Messiah – and so do the hundreds of religions who disagree with you. They all think they are interpreting the scriptures just the way they read, but obviously they are not all correct. Would you agree?

True Believer: Some people just read things into them that are not there.

 

Thinker: Well, let us see what is there. Since you give much eight to the scriptures that tell us that we are saved from sin through the sacrifice of Christ let us examine those words. The word “sin” in the New Testament comes from the Greek word HAMARTANO which means “to miss the mark.” In other words, when the Greeks, 2000 years ago, shot at a target with an arrow and missed they “sinned” (HAMARTANO) or missed the target. Another way to phrase this would be to say that to sin is to make an error in their aim or judgment. Would you agree?

True Believer: I suppose.

 

Thinker: The word “saved” comes from SOZO which is “to save or deliver.” The similar word “salvation” comes from SOTERIA which is more correctly rendered “deliverance” or “rescue.” Therefore, when the prophets wrote of being saved from sin they were literally saying they were delivered from error. So what did Jesus do to save the people from error?

 

True Believer: I’m not sure what you are getting at,

 

Thinker: Let us look at the actual words of Jesus.  He said to his disciples, “Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.” John 15:3

 

Notice that this was spoken before his sacrifice of the cross.  He didn’t speak of blood saving them from sin but something else.  What was it?

True Believer: His word.

 

Thinker: Good. In other words, that which delivered the people from error was the words of Jesus.  He also said, “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” John 6:63

So what did he say his words were?

True Believer: Spirit and life.

 

Thinker: Here’s another powerful scripture giving light on the words of Jesus: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” John 5:24

So, his word can lead to what?

 

True Believer: Everlasting life.

 

Thinker: Notice that he taught this salvation before he shed any blood. Now let us read the advice of James.  He advised us to “receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” James 1:21-22

So, what is it that can save our souls?

True Believer: The word.

 

Thinker: Yes, Jesus’ words were so powerful he was referred to as the “Word of God.” Now we see that when he saves us from sin he really delivers us from error.  How did he deliver people from error when he was alive?

True Believer: I see what you are getting at.  You want me to say his word.

 

Thinker: That’s what the Bible you believe in says and it is quite a simple principle. When we error we can be corrected through words that set us on the right course.  For instance, the people sinned or erred in thinking that they should hate their enemies but the words of Jesus corrected or saved them.  He told them to love their enemies and do good to those who despise them.

 

What error did the sacrifice on the cross correct?

True Believer: I’m not sure.

 

Thinker: Again, the answer is quite simple. People had very limited ideas of how far we should go in showing love and forgiveness. Jesus not only forgave those who crucified him but volunteering for the great sacrifice was an unheard of act of love that saved or delivered the people from their wrong thinking. One could say that the shedding of his blood saved many from their errors. Because of him many take the principle of love to a much higher level than before.

True Believer: Wow, you are really twisting the scriptures.

 

Thinker: No, I’m following in the footsteps of Jesus and attempting to save you from your sins by the power of the word. In other words these teachings have power to deliver you from your errors of judgment and wrong interpretation.

 

“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” John 17:17

Keys Writings 2013, Part 8

Aquaponics 

I came across something new that Blayne and some others may already know about. It’s called aquaponics. Here is a brief definition of it:

“Aquaponics is the combination of a Aquaculture and Hydroponics. In these semi-closed systems, water flows between a fish tank and a plant growing bed. The fish waste in the water is used to supply nutrients to the plants. The plants and micro-organisms clean the water that is returned to the fish tank. This provides a mutual beneficial environment for both the fish and the plants, and results in two crops (the fish and the plants).”

Benefits of aquaponics?

Aquaponics uses less than 5% of the water that traditional farming does.

Aquaponics is energy-efficient: our current systems use one-tenth of the energy conventional farming does!

Aquaponic produce can be grown year-round in almost any climate in an Aquaponic Solar Greenhouse

Aquaponics has eight to ten times more vegetable production in the same area and time.

Aquaponic systems with mosquito fish eradicate mosquitoes in a LARGE surrounding area!

Aquaponics is fully scalable from indoor systems to backyard family systems to full commercial systems.

Aquaponics is pure, clean, and natural: USDA Certified Organic and Food Safety Certified.

Aquaponics is easy to learn and operate: anyone can do this!

I first came across it in an internet infomercial ad that sold it on the idea of being a way to produce food for yourself if society were to have a total breakdown. I did some Googling and found several helpful links. Here is a youtube video that gives a good idea how the system works.

Here is a site that sells various systems.

And here is the infomercial I watched. It is interesting to listen to but fairly long:

They sell instructions to build your own system and supposedly save big bucks.

If anyone in the group has any knowledge or experience with this please share with us.

More Threats to Freedom Part 2 

This continues my treatise.

(5) The freedom of belief. Ryan Rotela attends a University in Florida and struggles to do well in classes as well as live his religion. Then one day he was put to the test.

His professor, Deandre Poole, who is also a Democrat party official, gave some strange commands to his class.

First, he told the students to take out a blank sheet of paper and write the word JESUS in bold letters. This order seemed strange to Ryan but he complied.

Next his teacher instructed them to place the piece of paper on the floor face up. This also seemed odd but Ryan complied.

Finally he ordered the students to stomp on the word Jesus in front of them.

This was too much for Ryan. He refused and picked up the sheet of paper instead.

He thought the order was outrageous and complained to school officials. Instead of reprimanding the professor they turned on Ryan and suspended him from the class.

Perhaps, even more disturbing than this was that Ryan was the only one who objected to stomping on Jesus.

Read the story here and watch the video.

This is just one of many examples that comes over the media of how the freedom to follow one’s own harmless beliefs are being threatened within our society. Here are a few:

Not only is prayer outlawed in schools but even the mention of God or Christ is largely prohibited. Some schools do not allow religious or even patriotic symbols to be worn. Kids have been sent home or chastised for wearing shirts bearing the American flag or even flag pins.

Nothing of a religious nature is allowed to be held on any public property. This was not the way the Founders interpreted the separation of church and state for in the early days of the Republic the local courthouse was often used for church and spiritual meetings of all kinds. Prayer was common everywhere and there were lots of Bibles in all schools. Even the hated early Mormon missionaries were often allowed to hold meetings in public property.

It ay be true that the State embraced religion a bit too much for the modern tastes of the majority, but now they have gone the other extreme and are acting as an agent to mold belief and suppress that which they deem undesirable.

Big brother decides that its sanctioned beliefs are to be presented and others are not thus restricting the free choice of students.

For instance, there are scientific arguments for and against Intelligent Design, but only one side is allowed, which is the atheist view.

The Powers-That-Be are big believers in orthodox climate change theory and again only seek to have one side presented.

Then the overwhelming majority of teachers and professors are Democrats and openly give their political views in class while the more conservative views are either ridiculed or penalized.

We are supposed to be living in a free society and in a free society there must be tolerance of people expressing their views and both sides presented. We must be allowed to live our spiritual lives without hindrance from the beast of unjust authority.

 

March 22, 2013

Re: The freedom of belief 

The problem here was not that the kid was merely ordered to stomp on a sheet of paper with words on it. Yes it is true that if one sees the paper in that way no harm is done. It wouldn’t be much different than stomping on a picture of Hitler or opening a book.

There are two things at play that you are overlooking.

(1) If faced with such an order few would look at the command as merely stomping on a sheet of paper. If ordered to stomp on Jesus, a picture of your kid, your wife or your mother, few would just see the exercise as just stomping on a sheet of paper.

The command would obviously be an affront to what 99% of humanity would consider decent and would be a humiliating thing to be forced to do.

(2) Secondly, even though I could take the viewpoint of the observer and see the thing as a mere piece of paper I would consider it an affront on my free agency and normal human respect. Most likely the teacher sees the representation of Jesus as being more than just ink – as something he wants to diminish. What is his motive here? Why Jesus – why not Mohammed, Obama or anyone else? Perhaps if he, being a Democrat, first demonstrated his open mindedness by stomping on a picture of Obama he would be somewhat justified in his class exercise.

I would consider it an insult to be forced to make the symbol of stomping on a representation of any human which is interpreted by all in the room as making a statement that this particular human has no value. I would refuse a silly command like this just for the principle of the thing.

Intelligent Design Questions 

—JJ— For instance, there are scientific arguments for and against Intelligent Design, but only one side is allowed, which is the atheist view. ——–

Nathan In order for an idea to be scientific, possibly the most important quality it must have is that it be falsifiable. Intelligent Design is not falsifiable (capable of being tested and proven true or false by experiment or observation). There is no experiment, test, or analysis you can make to reveal evidence that could challenge ID. This is mainly due to the fact that the elements of this “theory” are too vague, which is another reason why ID is not science. It is missing the “How does it work?” component. At most, ID belongs in a philosophy class, but not in science classes.

JJ It sounds like you are talking about the Big Bang which is considered valid scientific theory. It cannot be tested or proven true or false and not all scientists accept the theory. What caused the Big Bang is more vague than the Intelligent Design teaching and it is missing “How does it work?” According to your thinking this should be resigned to a philosophy class.

But it is not. Even though no scientist can demonstrate a Big Bang can happen with no intelligent direction it is still taught in our schools.

That pretty much destroys your reason Intelligent Design should be ignored as a cause.

Isaac Newton, acknowledged by most as the greatest scientist of all time believed that Intelligent Design is proven by observation which means he saw it as falsifiable. He believed that observation alone of the eye or the ear provided overwhelming evidence that an intelligent designer was at play.

Whenever I consider our bodies and how wonderful is their design I marvel at the fact that there can be even one human in existence, possessed with any intelligence at all, that cannot see that some intelligence was behind its creation.

As I said, if you stumble across an iPod in a forest would you assume the elements just came together on their own and created it? Would that be a scientific conclusion? I don’t think so.

There are good scientific arguments for Intelligent Design. A good book to read is “Signature in the Cell” by Stephen C. Meyer. He presents a lot more scientific evidence for intelligent Design than I have ever seen against it.

—JJ— The Powers-That-Be are big believers in orthodox climate change theory and again only seek to have one side presented. ——–

Nathan Remember weeks ago? I posted that article which showed that as far as the scientific community which studies this phenomenon goes, there really is only one side to this argument.

JJ That is an amazing statement concerning a subject with two definite sides. I’d say that 30,000 scientists signing a petition that disagrees with orthodox global warming theory definitely demonstrates there are two sides to the argument. Check this out:

Let’s review our dialog. Note that what the scientists you referenced agreed upon was not even part of the argument posed by skeptics.

You wrote: The Web of Science is a database with articles from a little over 10,000 academic journals. Of that entire database, 13,950 articles can be found on the subject of climate change. Only 23 articles reject global warming or reject global warming as a man-made phenomenon.

JJ I’m surprised they found 23 fitting their criteria which is: “To be classified as rejecting, an article had to clearly and explicitly state that the theory of global warming is false or, as happened in a few cases, that some other process better explains the observed warming.”

Every knowledgeable skeptic including myself would have to side with the majority here. Of course, over the past century there has been warming and man made emissions has been a partial cause. The disagreement isn’t over this technicality but on how much of a cause CO2 is and whether the apocalyptic doctrines they promote are probable. Maybe we should worry more about being hit by an asteroid and concentrate more on preparing for that than global warming. After all, global warming has never destroyed most of the life on earth. (End Quote)

If the religious orthodox global warming political theory is taught in schools then the scientific skeptical side should also be presented. Otherwise, it is like teaching only addition in math class and never teaching the kids how to subtract.

As far as ideology affecting teaching, yes it happens on both sides but the Left has by far the majority of control here. I refer to a previous article on the subject.

 

One point to make is that Intelligent Design is different from what is called Creation Science. The latter usually assumes that the earth was created in six days and is less than 10,000 years old. This is not scientifically supportable. Intelligent Design merely states that there is strong evidence that life was created by a higher intelligence. This is in harmony with esoteric thought.

 

March 23, 2013

Re: The Freedom of Belief

Dan: Your point number (1) is answered in my original reply (and again above). I said that in the absence of additional information, _I_ PERSONALLY would look at it that way and didn’t find it all that disturbing _BUT_ (essentially) that others might and I could understand that.

JJ Let me put it this way. Actions are communication symbols just as words are. To stomp on a picture or name is to issue a statement that this person is despised and hated.

Now let us say that the paper contained a picture of your mother and you were ordered at one time to stomp on it and at another time to state before the class that you despise and hate your mother.

What is the difference?

Nothing.

If you love your mother this means you are being asked to lie or make an untrue statement a thing which goes against the code of any disciple.

If it were the name of Jesus, Mohammed or even Obama I would not do it because I do not hate any of them.

If there was some greater purpose involved I could see the image as just a piece of paper or the words as just vibrations but that would be a rare circumstance.

On the other hand, many in the Middle East burn the American flag in disrespect and are being honest because they really do hate us.

Dan: Well, then I must hate/despise not only my mother but most of the rest of my family to include myself 🙂

There are a bunch of framed photographs on my livingroom wall of me, my mother, brothers and several other family members.

I regularly shoot these pictures between the eyes with my handgun/laser for trigger control practice, maintaining a proper sight picture, practicing stance, draw and etc.

I’m sure a psychiatrist would have a field day!

JJ I’m sure you do not see shooting a harmless laser at family photos in the same light as an ex wife burning or stomping on her husband’s photos as far as communication goes. On the other hand, it would be different if a beastly authority ordered you to shoot with either a laser or a bullet a picture of Marcie between the eyes as an acknowledgement of what you or he you think of her. I think the guy in the class felt that stomping on Jesus was an acknowledgement that Jesus was a worthless dude.

 

March 24, 2013

Thinking Makes It So

Dan’s comments on Jesus and shooting pictures reminds me of a scene from Hamlet by Shakespeare:

Hamlet: What have you, my good friends, deserv’d at the hands of Fortune, that she sends you to prison hither?

Guildenstern: Prison, my lord?

Hamlet: Denmark’s a prison.

Rosencrantz: Then is the world one.

Hamlet: A goodly one, in which there are many confines, wards, and dungeons, Denmark being one o’ th’ worst.

Rosencrantz: We think not so, my lord.

Hamlet: Why then ’tis none to you; for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so. To me it is a prison.

Is it true that thinking determines whether a thing is good or bad?

In what context would it be true and when would it be false?

 

March 25, 2013

Was Jesus Wrong?

Tom writes: How can Jesus Christ be wrong about the mustard seed? If he was really a 6th degree initiative then why did he not know there was seeds smaller then a mustard seed that can be sown?

JJ This is certainly not something I would lose sleep over no matter who said it for the purpose of the conversation was not to find the smallest seed on the earth but to illustrate how the Kingdom of God will begin as a small thing and grow into something great.

A problem with analyzing this is we do not know the exact words that Jesus used when referring to the mustard seed. The Gospels were written down from memory decades after Jesus spoke the words and who knows how accurate they are.

Your post quoted from Mark as follows:

Mark 4:30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? Mark 4:31 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: Mark 4:32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.

On the other hand, Luke words the account quite differently: Luke 13:18 Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? Luke 13:19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

Notice that in Luke’s account that Jesus said nothing about the size of the seed. It is quite possible that this is closer to his original words and other writers just embellished what he said.

But what if Jesus did say that the mustard seed is the smallest. This was a logical presentation as far as I can see for the mustard seed with the smallest seed with which the people were familiar. If he had identified the true smallest seed in the world the people would have been confused and the parable would not have had much meaning.

But the black mustard seed (Brassica nigra = Sinapis nigra) was the smallest seed ever sown by a first-century farmer in that part of the world according to some scholars.

Whatever the case, the mustard seed was probably the smallest seed that Jesus knew about and the contrast between its beginning and end made for a good example to illustrate the truth of his thinking.

Jesus probably didn’t have a clue as to what the real smallest seed on earth was. Neither do I and I do not care.

Re: Thinking Makes It So 

The questions: Is it true that thinking determines whether a thing is good or bad?

In what context would it be true and when would it be false?

We’ve had lots of good comments on this assignment – too many for me to comment on so I’ll just add a few of my own.

The individual’s thinking definitely determines whether a thing is good or evil in his own mind and thinking.

For instance, the teacher that ordered his students to stomp on the name of Jesus thought it was a good thing to do.

On the other hand, the student who resisted had different thoughts. He saw this as a bad thing to do.

The only difference in how the two people saw good or evil in the act was determined by their thought.

This principle also applies to groups. For instance, the Nazis as a group thought that it was a good thing to exterminate the Jews. On the other hand, the Jews had a different outlook. They definitely saw their persecution and extermination as very evil.

So Shakespeare was correct as far as good or evil is interpreted by individual or group consciousness.

Now we need to look at the bigger picture and ask if the Nazis belief that killing Jews as being a good thing really meant that it was a good thing to do?

To understand the answer we must define the principle of good and evil. We have previously defined good as that which moves us forward in our spiritual progression and freedom and evil that which takes us backward.

Therefore, the Nazis were definitely doing an evil act, even though they thought it was good. Taking an innocent life interferes with the path of the soul whose life is taken and the one taking the life suffers loss of soul contact and gains karma.

Now let us apply this to the assignment to stomp on Jesus. One thing that interferes with spiritual progression is to interfere with free will. For the students in the class who cared less about Jesus there was no problem. They could stomp on the name of Jesus, have a good laugh and their free will would not be infringed. On the other hand, the teacher’s command violated Ryan’s free will as the idea of disrespecting his messiah was repugnant to him and the teacher had to know that some would feel this way. This violation of free will puts his command in the evil category.

Let us suppose that the whole class was composed of atheists who didn’t care about Jesus. Would the order to stomp on his name be good, bad or neutral?

In this case it would not be nearly as bad as the violation of free will but stomping on the name of an honorable person is a sign of disrespect. The teacher is assisting in conditioning the students to not respect good people and if this happens on a large scale civilization deteriorates placing such actions in the evil category. It may be slightly evil if done infrequently but could lead to a great evil if people are conditioned with hate and disrespect over and over.

Good Grief 

As if the university is not making a big enough fool of themselves they are now adding further disciplines to Ryan who was ordered to stomp on Jesus. This kid is providing good PR for Mormons who are looked upon as not believing in Jesus by many Christians.

Re: Pregnancy (or not) & Intention 

Sarah asks: How can I control whether I conceive or not with no traditional contraception?

JJ First, most are familiar with the Rhythm method. This doesn’t require any extra sensory perception and is not 100% reliable.

What you are referring to is the process of tuning into your body so you can tell when it is ready to conceive or not conceive. If the seekers are tuned into their bodies during sex they can tell when a conception will occur and if they do not want a baby they can avoid impregnation.

There are two problems with this.

First, this method of tuning in is taught nowhere of which I am aware so the seeker is left on his own to perfect it.

Secondly, even if you believe in and like the concept you have no guarantee that you will have control over conception. Before this occurs the seeker must practice tuning into his body. One thing you can do is when you decide you want to get pregnant try to tune into your body when having sex and attempt to registe5r the moment when conception occurs. When you realize what this feels like you have made a large advance in the direction of being sensitive enough to control your time of conception.

Since there are not normally a lot of time periods where one is trying to get pregnant one must practice sensitivity in other areas. One way to increase body sensitivity is to pay attention to all things you eat and take into your body. This includes food, food supplements, vitamins, herbs, beverages and medicines. Shortly after you ingest something, especially if you haven’t had it for a while, see if you can tune into how your body is responding to it. Does it like it or not? Is your sense of well being greater or less?

Until the seeker becomes confidently sensitive he or she is better off using conventional birth control means. If a copper Paraguard IUD is causing problems I would switch to something else.

You might want to talk with your doctor and tell him you want to switch to another method and see what he recommends. Also google something like “safe birth control” and lots of things will come up.

In the coming age classes will be taught hat will assist students in tuning into their bodies and assuming greater control but for now we all have to plow with the horses we have.

Good luck.

Root of Fear

Tom asks: A lot of born again and regular Christians believe that through God they will never have fear again hardly….or rarely. JJ, have you ever been scared before since becoming an initiate at the current level you are at?

Can high disciples still get scared and why?

JJ All lives will have fear at one time or another, even God. After all, we are in the image of God as well as one with God. Therefore our fears are a part of the life of God.

DK wrote that “Fear has its roots in the warp and woof of matter itself.” Since the matter of the universe is the physical body of God this means that God Itself has fear woven in the fabric of his body.

Joseph Smith made this interesting statement; “What did Jesus do? Why I do the things I saw my Father do when worlds came rolling into existence. My Father worked out his kingdom with fear and trembling, and I must do the same; and when I get my kingdom, I shall present it to my Father, so that he may obtain kingdom upon kingdom, and it will exalt him in glory. He will then take a HIGHER EXALTATION, and I will take his place, and thereby become exalted myself.” TEACHINGS OF THE PROPHET JOSEPH SMITH; Pages 347-8

The apostle Paul said: Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Phil 2:12

The main thing that causes fear is an approach to the unknown with the possibility of loss. If you are in a battle for your life there is a possibility of loss and the outcome is unknown.

When God created he universe he did not know of all the problems he would encounter and this fear became embedded in the fabric of the universe.

Here’s an article I wrote on the subject that should give some additional light.

Reader: “Fear is fear because it is related to illusionary beliefs.

JJ: Where do you get the idea that fear is based on illusionary beliefs? Are we to accept this just because you or someone else says so?

Saul: “If it were not based on illusionary beliefs what would it be based on? Truth, true belief or true knowledge?”

JJ: I may be the first to tell you this but yes, fear is based on truth. How one reacts to truth perceived determines the fear.

Let me give an example. Let us suppose that you are living a very positive life and the thought of any type of fear is the farthest thing from your mind as you are enjoying a ride in the country with your wife and kids. As you descend down a mountainous range, you feel quite secure for you have traveled it many times; but this time is different. This time your brakes go out. You press the pedal several times and nothing happens as you speed around corners barely managing to evade running off the edge, which would surely end the lives of you and your family. Because you have traveled this road many times, you know things will only get worse because the incline just increases. You make a calculation that tells you that the chances are very great that you and your family are going to be greatly injured or die.

This “truth” brings numerous fears to your mind.

As we said previously, fear always involves a loss of some type and the possible loss here is very real. The fears in this situation revolve around the following losses:

(1) Loss of your own life (2) Loss of your family’s lives. (3) Loss of opportunity for your kids to grow up and face the challenges of life. (4) Loss of an earthly relationship with your family.

Numerous other losses could be cited here but the point is that all theses fears, revolving around loss, are based on a very probable truth.

Now even if a miracle happens, and you regain control, this does not mean your fear was based on illusion. At the time that you were descending without brakes, it was indeed true that you had a high probability of disaster. The only thing that averted it was the fact that your fear did not let you accept such a fate and you did all in your power to change the future.

Even a fear within a dream is based on truth. I used to dream on a regular basis of this grotesque monster in various forms that chased me. It often pursued me for some time and often caught me at some dead end and, as it approached me, I experienced great fear and usually woke up about that point.

Now one may object here and say “That was just a dream and not reality so your fear there was based on illusion.”

Not so my friend for it is indeed true that I was having a dream and that within the dream I was perceiving a monster and there was a real possibility of loss.

What were the possible losses involved?

(1) I was enjoying most of the dream and the monster threatened the loss of an enjoyable dream experience that I wanted to savor.

(2) Loss of sleep. I didn’t want to wake up and have to struggle getting back to sleep.

Then one night when I was having the dream something different happened. The monster had me cornered and there was no place to run. I was to either die within the dream, never a pleasant experience, or figure a way out. I looked up at the monster and he was ferocious indeed. He was about twenty feet tall and mean as hell and appeared ready to devour me in about three seconds.

As I contemplated, the thought of fighting back occurred to me for the first time. But I had difficulty in accepting it, for the monster looked a hundred times stronger than me. When I realized that I was faced with the choice of fighting or doing nothing, I decided to go out fighting and I attacked the monster. To my surprise I saw fear in the monsters eyes when I attacked. This gave me courage and I continued and when I pressed forward I discovered to my joy that I was much stronger than the monster. I then proceeded to give him a good beating and finally picked him up with super human strength and threw him off into oblivion.

Just as the monster caused a fear in the dream state, just as real as a fear in the awake state, even so did I feel a joy at overcoming the monster that was just as real as anything while awake. In fact I felt great for about three days after the dream.

The reason I talk here about truth within dreams, is that I’m sure you are going to tell us that life in these dualities is not real, therefore, all fear is based on perception within the dualities which are not real.

Whereas the real truth is that whether we be in the illusion of physical duality, or a dream state, it is indeed true that our consciousness is there and the perceptions we have there create a real experience. Even though the monster did not exist in this higher reality, the experience of the monster was real and this made the fear real.

If you lose your brakes going down a steep incline, it does little good to tell yourself, “this is not the true reality.” It is a true reality that you are in the experience and if you do not make the best of it you will suffer loss.

Listen to what a Master of Wisdom has to say about fear: “You ask: What are the basic causes of fear? To that question, if carried far enough back into the esoteric history of the solar system, there is no intelligible answer to be given. Only the advanced initiate can comprehend. Fear has its roots in the warp and woof of matter itself, and is par excellence, a formulation or effect of the mind principle, and a result of mental activity. The fact that birds and animals know fear puts the whole subject upon a wider footing than if it were simply a human failing and the result of the activity of the functioning of the human mind. It is not incident upon a man’s possessing a reasoning mind; if he used his reason in the correct way, he could eliminate fear. It lies in what is called “cosmic Evil”, a high sounding phrase conveying little. It is inherent in the fact of matter itself and in the play of the pairs of opposites-soul and matter.” Djwahl Khul

In harmony with this Joseph Smith made the interesting statement that “God created the worlds with fear and trembling.” This would explain why “fear has its roots in the warp and woof of matter itself.”

Now some have said that all fear is caused by a lack of love, but such is not the case. In the example of the fear generated by the failing brakes, the intensity of it was increased because of love for wife and children.

Fear is overcome through using the mind to calculate the best possible moves to eliminate the perceived future loss. For instance, in my dream I mentally calculated that the only possible way out was to fight and this eliminated the fear. I did not overcome the fear of the monster by loving it, but by defeating it.

It is true that many have fears that are not justified because of wrong perception. For instance, one may fear that his spouse is cheating on him because of misperception or a wild imagination, but when he has attained correct use of the mind, then his perception will be accurate. When perception and calculation are accurate then fear will be based on the real as in the example of the loss of the brakes.

This portrayal of fear by many teachers of the day, as a thing held only by the deluded, the unloving, the unevolved or the ignorant, has led many into great illusion. Because many seekers have swallowed this pleasant sounding doctrine without processing it through the mind they enter into a world of deception and denial.

When a fear surfaces, instead of facing and defeating it, they generate a “fear of fear” and they will think something like this:

“This fear is not real so I can not be experiencing it. Only the lesser evolved and the unloving have fear and since I am evolved and loving I cannot be experiencing it. Therefore, I deny this fear.”

Thus the seeker deceives himself rather than facing the fear and transcending it. That fear which is denied or suppressed does not go away. Instead it foments and grows and when it resurfaces it will loom greater than it was at the moment of burial.

The Now is the time to face and overcome and join in the company of the Great Ones.

The Great Unifier

I’ve been contemplating the principle “like attracts like” and have arrived at some additional insights. The interesting aspect of this principle is that no two people are alike. Since this is true then the question to ask when we see two people or groups attracted to each other is this. What is that which is similar which forms the basis of attraction and what is the primary ingredient that causes attraction?

With two individuals who fall in love we might say the ingredient is love. It is difficult to not be attracted to a person who truly loves and admires you. On the other hand, when the freshness of the falling in love is replaced by the difficulties of living life together then something else must come into play if the attraction is to remain. It helps if the couple has similar interests and desires, but what is the core principle of a lasting relationship.

How about friends? They do not fall in love, but fall in like. What makes a friendship last a lifetime?

How about nations and national leaders? What causes one nation to be drawn to and support another?

To understand it helps to look at the friends and enemies of Hugo Chaves who recently passed.

Who did he hate the most? In particular he hated the United States. Who did he like? He liked Cuba and Iran along with their leaders Castro and Ahmadinejad. What did they have in common? Was it religion?

Not really. Ahmadinejad sees Christians as infidels that must be subjugated and Chavez is a Roman Catholic who often spoke of Christ as his savior. Then Castro is a non believer who rules with a secular/atheistic form of communism. Religion has been very restricted and controlled during most of his rule.

If religion is the grand unifier then you would think that Chavez would be pals with the United States since all presidents have been Christian, like himself, as well as most of the population.

Maybe it was liberal causes like gay rights and gay marriage that attracts them. Not really. Chavez was tolerant of gays and didn’t support persecuting them whereas Castro and Ahmadinejad have viciously persecuted gays in their country.

Could it be their governments? It is true they all incorporate aspects of socialism but Castro rules with hard core communism and Venezuela and Iran allow some free enterprise and land ownership. Also Iran is a theocracy something contrary to Cuba’s communism as well as Chavez’s government.

What then do these three states that are so attracted to each other have in common? Where is the like being attracted to like?

I’ll leave this for the group to discuss and give my answer shortly.

Re: The Great Unifier

We received some good answers on this question. Keith correctly thinks that the various tyrannies are united in hate toward the West because we frustrate their agenda. Steve rightly talks about the desire for control and to be controlled.

Alex says they have a common interest of hating American imperialism.

I believe LWK pointed out the core unifier most clearly. He said:

They all hate individual freedom. Isn’t there an old saying, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend,” or something like that? The U.S. to a lot of the people of the world still represents the abstract concept of individual freedom, no matter how much the reality now differs from that vision. That is a concept all of these countries hate.

Kelly and Johann’s answers were along these lines but with a different slant.

The big division in the world is between those who respect the principle of freedom and those who do not. Those who do not respect the principle will be attracted to each other as well as those who do like the principle.

Larry correctly pointed out that we have fallen short of the ideal but, even so, there is enough freedom in the world to cause a union of hatred that attempts to diminish it.

The quest for freedom is the quest to be free from the mark of the Beast for the Beast takes the place of the God within and becomes a God without that must be followed above and beyond anyone’s inclination to follow the inner direction. Under the Beast you are only allowed to follow your inner direction if it is in harmony with his direction.

Because individual freedom is always a threat to the Beast then wherever it shows itself will be a center where the wrath, cunning and distortion from the Beast will be unleashed.

Just take a look at some of the freedoms we have here and the attacks against them, sometimes subtly and other times very openly.

(1) Free speech This has been under attack from the beginning of this country and the avenues of attack are increasing.

Question before continuing: In what ways is free speech under attack?

Big Secret

We have a new pope. What the world doesn’t know is this. Dan has more light and truth in his little finger than the Pope in his whole body.

Tom: So what is wrong with our new pope FRANCES THE 1ST. He A CONSERVITIVE. What the matter with him?

JJ Nothing’s the matter with the pope if you’re looking for a good Sunday School teacher.

John C Now, THIS is a quote for the archives. Something to be remembered 100 years from now.

JJ Thanks for the appreciation John. Maybe I’ll use your name next time. For some reason, Dan’s name often comes to mind when I think of the struggling disciple seeking to scale the mountaintop, but of course many here are seeking the same thing.

 

March 14, 2013

Re: The Great Unifier

Alex: I was talking about the vision of a differently arranged states during the “millennium”. But what you are talking about is a different thing.

JJ It’s not different. The principle is the same whether it is related now, during the millennium or a thousand years ago.

If a people live in a desirable land with peace and plenty, those living in an undesirable land will want to take as much advantage of it as they can get away with. Period. This has always happened, does now happen and will happen. Making a “suggestion” that the unwanted ones just leave is laughable and has never worked and will never work.

Undesirables are only kept out by force, not suggestions.

Free Speech

Question: In what ways is free speech under attack?

We are fortunate indeed that the Founders had the foresight to make free speech the First Amendment. This has given us a lot of protection to say what we want. But has the Beast acknowledged this and rolled over and played dead as far as speech is concerned? Not hardly?

The Constitution was the weapon hat inflicted the deadly wound on the Beast but the scripture predicted this deadly wound would be healed making the Beast alive and well. Alive and well he indeed is and attacks free speech at every opportunity.

“How is he attacking free speech?” asks one. “Can I not go on a street corner and proclaim my disagreement with the President or any other leader?”

Yes, you can legally disagree with authorities but that is where it ends. There are quite a number of ways free speech is curtailed.

First, there legitimate limitation. This is speech that can cause real damage such as the famous example of yelling fire in a crowded theater. If one slanders another person he can be sued in a court of law. If a government employee gives out top secret information he may be prosecuted and lying in a court of law is illegal.

Unfortunately these legitimate limitations give those who wish to control others an excuse to work toward expanding on them. Those working for the Beast are doing everything in their power to make what they consider hate speech illegal.

In most cases hate speech is merely speech that pawns of the Beast hate and despise. They hate much of what is said on talk radio so they seek to pass laws regulating or limiting it. They hate common sense ideas that will bring greater freedom and wealth to individuals so they condemn them through the media. They hate the free market so they blame it for all our woes.

They hate the mention of God and spiritual principles so they seek to silence all such talk on property controlled by the Beast.

To suppress the masses the unjust authorities seek to tell is which words we can say and which ones we cannot. This is called politically correct speech. When these words were first demonized many laughed and thought these ideas would come to naught, but they underestimated the power of the Beast in the land of the free.

Those who saw nothing wrong with using the words handicapped, midget, crazy, bum and many others may not be arrested for saying them but could lose their job or be attacked and humiliated by offended associates

Speech criticizing President Obama has been curtailed in many cases by accusing the critics of racism even when nothing in the speech referred to race. It has been said that one is racist if he uses words such as lazy, fried chicken, ghetto, Chicago, apartments, welfare, illegal aliens, and other words when speaking of minorities.

Many of our professional workers have their speech curtailed. If a doctor advises alternative medicine then he could loose his license. We had a family doctor who was barred from the local hospital because he disagreed with another doctor’s diagnosis.

Attorneys have to be very careful with their speech as well as any paid member of the clergy for fear of losing their job. Church members are often forced to speak only positive things about their leaders or suffer excommunication or rejection.

A book could be written on examples but the point is that the war against free speech is alive and well and it takes a strong individual to stand up to the forces arrayed against free expression.

Re: Power of Prayer

Keith said he received a negative attack after a prayer. He said, “The prayer was a petition – a pleading for a higher life to initiate a gathering somewhere on earth to get this ball going.”

JJ Well, Keith, if there is anything the dark fores do not want is a gathering of lights. On the other hand, it is the desire of the forces of light and love so in the end more forces will be with you than against you. Continue on your course of prayer and the darkness will lift if you keep your focus and pure intent.

Re: Free Speech

Concerning the principle of free speech it is interesting that there is confusion over what it is. The general idea in most minds is that we are free to vocalize any opinions that we desire so long as we do not endanger lives, slander or cause financial loss.

In other words, I am supposed to be able to say or write whatever I want, even if it is offensive or hurts some feelings. No men in black will come to my door and take me away.

This seems pretty simple but there are many interpret this in a distorted light.

One example was Bill Maher on his show, which was called “Politically Incorrect.” After the terrorist attack of 2001 he stated that the hijackers were men or courage. This offended many people and in particular it offended some of his advertisers who withdrew from his program. This loss of revenue was a partial cause of his show being cancelled.

After the advertisers withdrew Maher complained many times that his free speech rights were violated, but were they?

Was he accused of breaking any law? No.

Was there anything in place to prevent him from telling anyone he came into contact with that the hijackers were courageous? No. Even though this opinion was offensive to many he could voice it all he wanted.

The only way to keep the advertisers on the program when they did not want to be there would be to force them to stay. And if they were forced to pay Bill Maher to speak then who’s freedom is really taken away?

Right. Not Maher’s freedom, but the advertisers.

Free speech does not mean that you can force others to pay for you to broadcast or print your words. You have to get that done though your own efforts for the guarantee of free speech does not guarantee anyone’s success.

A similar situation happened in 2003 when the Dixie Chicks said they were ashamed that President Bush was from their home state of Texas. Many fans were offended and stopped buying their records and some offended DJs stopped playing their tunes. Again, they complained about a violation of their free speech.

These people need to read the First Amendment which says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech”

Did Congress pass a law that abridged the right of the Dixie Chicks to criticize President Bush or to prevent Bill Maher from praising the terrorists?

No, of course not. In both cases it was ordinary people, not Congress that were offended by their speech and refused to financially support it. Any individual can refuse to support any speech he deems undesirable.

In fact, political groups as well as business interests do this all the time. Many groups on the Left strongly disagree with Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh and have organized protests in attempts to get their advertisers to drop their support. This turned out to be fairly successful against Beck and he was dropped from his place on the Fox News channel. They were not as successful against Rush and other conservatives.

Now some consider this an unethical and unfair approach in dealing with political enemies but there is nothing in the First Amendment that prohibits even disgusting attempts to influence the media.

The key to understanding true free speech is the phrase, “Congress shall make no law” restricting it.

True free speech is threatened by law and powerful authorities, not opinions of the rank and file public.

Annihilating Time

Keith made an interesting find which is worthy of comment. He writes:

I came upon the following from D.K. (White Magic: Rule 10 Group of World Servers) and was blown away by the following phrase, …”humanity…will eventually annihilate time…”

Below I have taken the page and paraphrased the intent. A mind blower. ‘ANNIHILATE TIME’ ‘OMNIPRESENT’ ‘OMNISCIENCE’ This is the future of humanity according to D.K. I have read White Magic before and somehow missed this.

“About the year 1400, the Hierarchy of Masters was faced with a difficult situation…After noting and watching this trend of affairs for another one hundred years, the Elder Brothers of the race called a conclave of all departments about the year 1500 A.D. …At this conclave…They had, in connection with these aspirants, two problems:

They had to deal with the failure on the part of even the most advanced disciples to preserve continuity of consciousness, a failure even now manifested by even initiates.

The Masters found the minds and brains of chelas curiously insensitive to the higher contacts, and this again is a condition which still prevails.

The plan as at present sensed, and for which the Masters are steadily working, might be defined as follows: – It is the production of a subjective synthesis in humanity and of a telepathic interplay which will eventually annihilate time.

It will make available to every man all past achievements and knowledges, it will reveal to man the true significance of his mind and brain and make him the master of that equipment and will make him therefore omnipresent and eventually open the door to omniscience

all can therefore strive towards achieving continuity of consciousness and at awakening that inner light which, when seen and intelligently used, will serve to reveal other aspects of the Plan

To bring this about has been the objective of all training given during the past 400 years”

“Just amazing,” Keith says.

JJ Great find for contemplation Keith. When I read your post I did not recall reading that myself so I checked my White Magic book that I had read several times and was surprised I did not have it highlighted. Then I checked my notes I saved on my computer and sure enough it was there with “annihilate time” highlighted in bold. It looks like I eventually did catch it but due to an imperfect memory I didn’t recall the phrase in the present.

Yes, it is an interesting phrase, but in interpreting DK or any inspired writer one may be mislead if he interprets literally. The whole picture of the presentation must be considered. Here is my take.

By annihilating time he doesn’t mean that time will no longer exist. For instance, the spheres of existence after death are often referred to as places where time no longer exists but this is not literally true. In truth we are not concerned about the passing of time there and because minutes and hours are not counted as they are here. It is as if time does not exist but time still does exist for us here and continues to pass.

The time barrier DK is talking about is that which exists between lives. Within one lifetime it is fairly easy to annihilate time. Any time a seeker attempts to focus he can withdraw into his consciousness and regress himself to any point in his life that lies within his memory. He can then relive those past moments as if they are happening now, thus annihilating time.

He points out that a problem that most disciples have is they cannot annihilate time between lives. It would be desirable if they could obtain “continuity of consciousness” so time could be removed as a barrier and then they could retrieve knowledge and intelligence from past lives.

When he says that this will make us “omnipresent and eventually open the door to omniscience” he is hinting at the powers available when the Oneness Principle is mastered. To tune into this one must enter the Eternal Now in his consciousness and in a sense this annihilates time.

Very few remember details of their past lives without the assistance of regression techniques. There are a number of degrees available to the disciple as far as continuity of consciousness is concerned. The most important achievement is for the disciple to retrieve his past wisdom and knowledge of principles and understanding. He must obtain the confidence that this understanding should bring. He will then intuitively comprehend all that was available to him in the past though he may not have all the details available. The historical details of the past must be discovered through various techniques, but often such retrieval is not necessary.

Google Glass

Back in 2001 I posted this:

“For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. Luke 12:2-3

“Like it or not we are entering an era, irrespective of how much freedom we have, where it is difficult to keep secrets for as soon as a message goes out from your computer through your

housetop’ into the internet it is pretty much open to the eyes of the world.”

Amazingly this prophecy is now about to reach a level of fulfillment that few imagined. Google has invented a device you wear that cannot only connect you to the internet and GPS but allow you to videotape everything you see. When the time comes hat 10% or more of the people wear this device then just about every human movement will be captured on video by someone.

A Question or Two for JJ on the Bible.

Tom: I know that the Bible has been translated some of it’s original meaning lost. What % is the Bible accurate like is it 98% accurate including stories like Samson (the strong man), King David killing a giant and ect. … And what about the Book of Mormon…how accurate is it?

JJ Concerning the Bible the problem is not so much with translation (though that is a problem) as with not having the original text. In Bible times if you wanted a copy of some scripture you had to either get it from a scribe or copy it yourself. Now copying texts in ancient times is a little like the game of Chinese Whispers, as mentioned in Eternal Words. After a few copies are made changes occur. For example, imagine a scribe making a copy of one of the gospels and comes across a scripture that does not sound right to him. He is likely to change the wording to make it read better or to add a notation giving it a clearer meaning in his opinion. Then the next guy makes a copy from his copy. The changes in wording are then passed on and notations are sometimes included as if it were original text.

It is estimated that the earliest full copies we have of the gospels are around the twelfth copy. Common sense tells you that the twelfth copy would deviate substantially from the original.

The message of my book Eternal Words is that certain phrases and teachings that embody principles are so clear that they will survive future distortions. For instance, “the truth will set you free” is so profound that the basic meaning will survive the copying process.

The teachings that a book contains are much more important than whether or not all the details of the stories are true. One can look at it this way. Throughout the universe every story one can imagine has happened somewhere. Therefore, most any story you read is true somewhere.

Teachings, on the other hand, are a different matter. Where stories of people are different everywhere, principles are not. If a principle is true here it will also be true in all parts of the earth, the solar system and the galaxy.

Therefore, when I read a book of teachings of questionable origin I look not for the black and white historical data but I look at the lessons taught and the knowledge and principles conveyed.

I do not believe that either the Bible or Book of Mormon are 100% correct historically, but all the stories have seeds of truth and represent real events and people. Both books have a lot of good teachings but even the best of books must be read through the eyes of the soul. If this is done then the seeker will savor that which is good and discard that which does not register.

More Threats to Freedom

This continues my article on threats to freedom.

(2) The right (freedom) to bear arms. The second freedom at threat is the freedom to bear arms. I’ve already written about this so I’ll make this short.

One of the greatest threats to the beast of unjust authority is a populace that is armed. One of the first steps that enemies of freedom take when they ascend to power is to disarm the public to make them much easier to intimidate and control.

What is disturbing is the number of people who see no need for the Second Amendment as insurance against a possible dictator. They seem to think a loss of freedom or the rise of a Hitler or Stalin could never happen to us. Wrong. It could happen to any nation and could even happen to the world as a whole – a scary thought indeed.

We have already given up too many of our freedoms. We have reached a point where freedom-loving individuals must take a stand and say, “no more!”

(3) Freedom over the fruits of our labors. Most people are happy to pay a reasonable amount to contribute to or common security and welfare, but when taxes get too high the laborers begin to feel that their freedom to enjoy their hard earned gains are threatened. If we add up all the taxes we pay, including the subtle ones, the average person pays well over 50% of his income. It is interesting that it was common for slaves in the Roman Empire to be required to pay a third of their earnings to their master. We pay more to our master (government0 than the ancient slaves who ran a business for the slaveholder.

Now we are at a point where taxes are not only increasing but we are asked to pay more. We are asked to pay our “fair share.”

I’d say that paying more tribute than a Roman slave is more than a fair share and a threat to individual freedom.

(4) Freedom from excessive laws and regulations.

Like taxes the average person does not feel his freedom is threatened by reasonable laws but it seems our legislators have too much time on their hands and want to control our lives with increasing detail.

A symbol of this overreach is New York Mayor Bloomberg’s law that attempted to prohibit the sale of large drinks at fast food restaurants. It is true that sodas are not very healthy, but it is up to individuals to decide what is good for their health, not the state. The state regulates where people can smoke and drink to excess. They tell us what drugs we can and cannot buy and incessantly preach to us about things we should be doing for our own good.

The trouble with giving the state too much regulatory power is that in attempting to protect us from ourselves they often wind up denying access to products that individuals feel would improve their lives. There are many, but here is a handful. • Medical Marijuana • Raw milk. Many feel this is healthier than pasteurized milk but it is illegal to sell it in many areas of the country. • Natural and often harmless alternative medicines. For instance, Laetrile a cancer medicine derived from apricot pits, is banned by the FDA. • Legislators are always seeking to ban natural cures and even vitamins. They have even proposed to make the sale of all but a few supplements and vitamins illegal and subject to a doctors prescription.

Perhaps the greatest example of overregulation in modern times is Obamacare. Many were alarmed when Nancy Pelosi championed the 2800 page document telling us that they had to pass the bill so we could discover what was in it.

Well, the bill was passed and we are still discovering the content and intent. So far this discovery has led to 20,000 pages of material explaining the regulations that will control our lives. I don’t know about you but I’d say that out of 20,000 pages there is bound to be a couple pages of regulations that will make me feel like screaming.

The Road Ahead

The group is indeed interested in knowing the economical future of the United States and the world so they can prepare for things to come. Not only are seekers such as ourselves very interested in this but a large portion of the world is. We live in unstable times and people are concerned and just wish they knew what to do.

I have said many times that the exact future is not written in stone and cannot be predicted by anyone, even the masters. Certain cycles though can be seen and predicted fairly accurately. Some cycles can be predicted with exactness and others with only ball park accuracy. For instance, we can pinpoint the rising and setting of the sun from any location on the earth for centuries to come. On the other hand, we can accurately predict that spring will come soon but we cannot predict the day that fruit trees will put forth their first buds and make it official.

Predicting the economy is a little like predicting the seasons and the weather. We know we are going to have sunny and cloudy days, stormy and clam, but exactly when they will occur is still far from and exact science because of the many variables.

On the other hand, there are signs we can take into consideration in order to prepare. If we see dark clouds ahead there is a good chance that a storm will be coming our way soon. It is not a sure thing for maybe the dark clouds will shift in direction or become dispersed.

Now let us look at the economic signs we have in front of us. We have recently gone through an economic crash (2008) caused by extreme recklessness. The problems that created this has been tackled on a haphazard basis and most of them are far from fixed. In addition to this, we have a deficit spending problem, the full effects of which has not yet materialized.

This deficit spending and massive borrowing presents a possible outcome that could be worse than the Great Depression. Unless there is a massive course correction the question is not “If” disaster is ahead, but “When” it should come.

In looking at the future there is an important point to take into consideration that no economist brings up. Obama is a person blessed with extremely good luck.

When he ran for the Senate his win was a long shot. He was running against an extremely popular and good-looking Jack Ryan who was married to the beautiful Seven of Nine Character from Star Trek. Then a sex scandal was unearthed and Ryan was replaced with a very poor candidate causing Obama to win. Then when he ran for President the polls showed McCain ahead weeks before the election. Then the financial meltdown occurred and the blame was placed on McCain and his fellow Republicans. Obama rose in the polls and won.

In the 2012 campaign against Romney the polls showed Romney ahead by 4-6 points. Then Hurricane Sandy occurred and all we saw in the media was Obama looking presidential handling the crisis. Romney was nowhere to be seen for about a week before the election. Again Obama rose in the polls and won.

During the last four years Obama has made a tremendous number of bad economical decisions. One of the worst was his war on oil drilling and natural gas. In spite of this new technology has greatly increased production on private land. This has caused a reduction in imports that Obama took credit for. One economist is predicting that despite Obama’s lack of support for drilling that we will have an oil and gas boom. This, he says, will stimulate the economy and Obama will take full credit and be seen as the savior of the economy. This would be strange indeed if this happened.

Taking everything into consideration I will not make specific predictions but will give probabilities as I see them.

The probability of having a collapse of the dollar and the economy in the next ten years – 80%

The probability of it happening during the Obama administration – 50%. He’s human, subject to karma, so his luck could run out.

The probability that a collapse would be so bad that our government would break down for a time and there could be chaos – 25%

The probability that it would be bad like the Great Depression but the country would hold together and work things out – 55%.

A couple years ago, for the first time I recommended that we do our best to prepare for hard times ahead by storing up some food and emergency supplies. I have found that a number of things I bought back then have risen 25% or so in price so even if disaster does not occur some storage is a good investment. You’ll make better interest on it than most investments.

I think there is a high probability the stock market has is close to a maximum and will make a major drop. It would be a good idea to move funds to gold and silver until the economy looks more stable.

Unfortunately, if there is a collapse none of us will be as prepared as we would want to be and if there is a total breakdown there is not yet a gathering of lights as a place of refuge. It is my hope and work that such a gathering will take place before such a breakdown occurs.

Dangerous Teachings

I’ve been following a discussion about false teachers and prophets and the question came up about the danger posed by their false teachings. In other words, which teachings are dangerous and which are not and how dangerous are the various false teachings?

I thought this would be a good topic for discussion so I’ll make a few comments.

The first thing that needs to be clarified is this. The greatest danger of any teaching, true or false, lies not with the teacher, but the student. If the student has a high degree of soul contact then it matters not how false or crazy are the teachings presented. He will see the illusion and not incorporate that which does not register with the soul.

Therefore, if the teacher says the Jews are the spawn of Satan and must be eliminate he will not act upon such nonsense.

If another teacher says we are all brothers and one race is as worthy of love and respect as another then such a teaching will be registered in a positive light.

On the other hand, the student who is governed by lower emotions rather than the soul is a precarious animal. To such a person even the teachings of Jesus are dangerous. He may read Jesus saying that “if thy right eye offend thee then cut it out” and take this literally and either cut his eye out or maybe someone else he thinks deserves it.

He may read about Jesus overturning the tables of the moneychangers in the temple and decide his local bank needs taught a similar lesson and places a bomb there.

In other words, the words and works of even the greatest who has appeared among us are not safe fomenting in the mind of an idiot, but the most delusional of teachings are harmless when passing by the mind of the true disciple.

Does this mean that a teacher can give out all kinds of false teachings and no harm will be done? Or how about a true teacher? Can he just blurt out any teaching he wants without being careful of the content or wording and remain harmless?

The answer is that in both cases harm can be created. Both true and false teachers must keep in mind that there are only a handful of people with a high degree of soul contact. Fortunately, a lot of people not sensitive to the soul have pretty good common sense to assist them. But there are quite a few out there who do not check with their souls nor do they use much common sense. These people will take teachings both true and false and distort them to fit their mindset. In addition to this many false teachers prey upon these people and use their distorted view of reality to control them toward their own ends.

The true teacher must always take these deluded ones into consideration and give his words out with as much clarity as possible. In fact, even Jesus may have rephrased his statement about plucking out the eyes if he had given the idea a kittle more thought.

DK makes the additional point that there are many things that are true which are concealed and not given out because they could be dangerous in the wrong hands. For instance, there are some mantras that can control the elements that are closely guarded by the hierarchy.

Another point to realize is that a teacher who is in the light is not infallible and may have some error in his teachings. Then the teacher whose home is the land of shadows will teach a number of things which are true.

Perhaps the most important question that any seeker must ask as he examines a teacher is this. What is the teacher’s motive? Does he seek to deceive and take away my freedom and take on the role of the beast of authority so my freedom is diminished? Or does he (or she) tell the truth to the best of his ability and not take the place of your inner god but encourage freedom of choice in all things?

I’ve already tabulated many of the ingredients that differentiate the true and false teachings so I won’t repeat myself but keep in mind that freedom is the highest principle to look for. The false teacher will take it away by either obvious or subtle means whereas the true teacher seeks to amplify it in all he meets.

Free Will and Work

One thing I can say about Chris Nemelka is that he does come up with some provocative teachings. Some of his teachings containing the greatest amount of illusion will appeal to those who like the path of least resistance. It takes one choosing the path less traveled by to unravel the illusion.

In his blog of Feb 10th he talks about the time he has set for the Second Coming which is 2145 AD. On the date he says that Christ and his “Overseers” will come and set up a “fair” government and force humankind to abandon their bad governments in favor of good government ran by those who know how do get things done much better than ourselves. He maintains that the Overseers are upset that the rich are not relieved of their surplus and share with the poor so their needs will be taken care of. If we do not do this of our free will then we will be forced to do it in some type of communist system.

Now he’s gone a step further in discovering what upsets the Overseers. They do not like the idea that we do not have enough free will. This seems like an odd thing to upset them when you consider that in 2145 they seem to plan to take away free will in order to make sure we are forced to share our goods whether we want to or not.

They are so upset that there is not enough free will that they are considering moving ahead their time frame for domination from 2145 to 2070. He says that this violation of free will is so great that even John the Revelator is taken by surprise by it. If he had factored it in 2000 years ago the Book of Revelations would have been written differently.

Who knew?

So, what is this great violation of free will that he is talking about?

Is it the various tyrants that surface again and again seeking to control every aspect of human behavior/

No. That doesn’t seem to bother the Overseers. Even North Korea seems to get a pass.

Is it the criminals who “hurt and make afraid?” Doesn’t seem to be them. Chris often portrays criminals as innocent victims of the evil system. Even of Adam Lanza he said he was trying to do a good deed in shooting the 20 children. He was merely benevolently attempting to save them from the same pain he had suffered. I wonder why it took as many as seven bullets to the head to do that.

Is it the governments of the earth that tax us almost into poverty taking away the free will to spend our own money as we see fit?

No. He seems to have no problem with lots of taxes forced upon us.

Is he upset that the freedoms secured by us in the Constitution are being eroded creating a threat to many of our freedoms?

Not at all. He thinks the United States is the Beast bearing the mark of 666 and the founders were the rich selfishly seeking to secure their wealth by breaking off with Big Brother King George.

So, what is this great infringement of free will that bothers him so that the end time is moved ahead just to deal with it?

Brace yourself. It’s not what you think.

The big infringement is that all but a few of us have to work for the sake of money at a job that is not our first choice for enjoyment. He points out that a successful musician or an actor may really enjoy his work but the rest of us that have to go to an office, factory or whatever to do work that is not fun do not have much free will. He says this is a dreadful situation that restricts free will. What we need he says is “unconditional free will,” which apparently our leaders and bosses are robbing us of. Because most of us cannot do fun stuff to make money the coming forth of the Overlords may be moved up 75 years earlier than anticipated. They will then make sure that everyone has a job that is fun to do thus ensuring we all have free will.

I’m going to give my thoughts on this subject shortly but in the meantime this is an interesting subject to contemplate.

Does working at a job that is not our first choice take away from free will? If so, then who is to blame for this situation? Was someone else beside yourself supposed to supply you with a job opportunity that makes you happy?

Chris’ article on this subject is here: LINK

Re: Dangerous Teachings

Duke asks: How much correlation is there between the so-called spiritual gifts that a person possesses or can demonstrate, and the purity of their motives, actions, and/or beliefs? If you have any comments on the subject, you’d find at least one attentive audience member.

JJ The first thing to realize here is that many gifts claimed by the various gurus are based on illusion and not even real. Many who claim to heal are merely good hypnotists and the subject receives only temporary relief through the power of suggestion.

Many other so called signs ad wonders are brought about by hypnotic techniques. For example, a few years ago there were several local gurus who claimed to have the ability to call down spaceships and communicate with the officers on board. I was curious about this so I decided to attend one of these sessions. The group was full of believers who fully expected to see a spaceship. As the process began one of the group pointed to a bright object in the sky and called out – “I see a ship right there!”

I looked up to see what it was and offered a correction. “That’s not a spaceship. That’s the planet Venus.”

“Oh,” she said, sounding disappointed.

My bringing the lady back to realty seemed to break the spell of the group and that night no spaceship was seen and no contact made. I was never invited to join them again.

On the other hand, there are a few possessing real gifts of some kind. Does this mean we should then trust that which they teach?

No. A thousand times no. The true seeker must always run teachings of any kind past his soul before he accepts them. If he can’t get soul confirmation then he must at least run then by his logical mind and use his common sense.

So how does one who is in illusion develop what seems to be spiritual gifts?

the answer is simple. Energy follows thought. If a person, good or bad, puts a lot of attention (energy) on developing a skill then a certain amount of proficiency will be attained.

Even so, we have not seen in our age a person who can manifest the gifts that Jesus had 2000 years ago. If you see someone truly walk on water then he obviously has some knowledge about how that is accomplished and it would probably be worthwhile to ask him some questions. On the other hand, if he tells you to give him all your money or you are going to hell then do not walk away, but run.

Re: Free Will and Work

Alex seems to disagree with this statement I have made: “Now he’s gone a step further in discovering what upsets the Overseers. They do not like the idea that we do not have enough free will. This seems like an odd thing to upset them when you consider that in 2145 they seem to plan to take away free will in order to make sure we are forced to share our goods whether we want to or not.”

Here is Chris in his own words:

“So, without exception, one of the group must always agree to enter the game and give up free will to become the overseer of the rest.”

LINK

Without the experience of a free democracy that is fueled by free will, we might be left with the excuse: “How do you (creators) know that we are not fully capable of governing ourselves if given the chance?” The United States of America is the chance we have been given. With this chance, we have proven that no matter how much freedom we are given (or at least believe that we have been given), free-willed beings left to themselves cause each other harm and inequality.

When this purpose is fulfilled, we will be able to look back on the way the United States was established and what it did with the power of its democracy. At that point, we will rejoice in its success in adding to the effectiveness of our lessons learned concerning imperfect government. Although our creators will be happy that we had the experience, they will never condone one thing that the United States of the America has ever done—not one thing!  LINK

when we finally get a righteous and omnipotent dictator, we will then appreciate the loss of our democracy. LINK

Our batch of human beings had to gain the experience in order to realize the importance of the Universal laws that govern our existence and the profound importance of the role of a Christ—a DICTATOR with full power and control over any one of us.

(We hate DICTATORS! But we had to go through mortality to see why one was necessary. The situation in Iraq will further evidence the need for a Dictator. LINK

To learn that uncontrolled free-will is the cause of all of our problems, and that we cannot trust any of our mutually free-willed siblings with the task of overseeing our free will.

We must submit our free will to one who doesn’t have our same free will to become an unrighteous dictator … to one who is a harbinger of universal peace and equality. And I can guarantee you, this person does not live on this planet. LINK

The United States of America was part of the final lesson we needed to learn to realize that we could not exist as a human race without a Christ, a righteous dictator who limited and controlled human free will. LINK  Then in his book “Without Disclosing My True Identity” in chapter eight he h as a sections promoting the idea of a “righteous dictator.”

Does all this sound like the “Overseers” plan on letting us continue to use our free will if it goes against their “righteous dictatorship”?

I don’t think so.

Even with technology there will still be things that need done that is not fun work. Technology does not eliminate work but opens up avenues of different kinds of work that need done. There’s always the fun stuff ad the not so fun stuff that needs done.

Alex: There is nothing about Lanza in the above link.

JJ I didn’t say there was. Here is the exact quote from a previous post: … Adam Lanza wanted to spare as many children as he could from the devastating turmoil he was feeling, and had been feeling, from the time he entered kindergarten where the pressure to succeed and fulfill the image of success and leave his mark on this world first began. LINK

Alex:

The saddest thing is that JJ twisted CMN’s teaching and misrepresented them.

JJ I don’t think you’ve read him carefully enough. I cannot see any evidence that I have misrepresented him at all and you have given nothing that shows that I have. If you have some evidence I’d be happy to look at it.

Re: Free Will and Work

JJ, after quoting Nemelka:

Does all this sound like the “Overseers” plan on letting us continue to use our free will if it goes against their “righteous dictatorship”?

I don’t think so.

Alex: Here I disagree with JJ. They are letting us to continue to exercise our free will.

JJ I never said they were interfering with free will at the present time and don’t believe Nemelka has either. He says they are allowing us to have free will in the present so we can become witnesses to what bunglers we are and how much we need the Overseers.

Your accusation was that I misrepresented Chris’ teachings about them setting up a dictatorship in 2145 and I gave you a number of quotes verifying that he indeed does believe this and your free will, will be secondary to the will of the dictators. Free will is always limited under a dictator that you have no power to remove.

Alex: “Righteous dictatorship” is not a righteous tyranny as we might stereotypically think. Righteous dictators are very wise and knowledgeable advanced government, several notches above us in their spiritual development, unlike the politicians of today. Righteous dictators which would decree some things without asking you and provide these things without forcing. The first thing they will do is to provide basic food, shelter, education and medical help/healing for every one free.

JJ First of all there is no such thing as a “righteous dictatorship” where the dear leader must be followed without question or consultation. Whenever free will is relinquished to a dictator civilization and progress suffers.

Even if these supposed advanced humans came and supplied all our needs what good would it do? We would become lazy and slothful after a while. Struggle builds character and keeps us from devolving.

The fact that advanced beings are coming here to supply all our needs so we don’t have to work is pure fantasy in my opinion. But let us suppose they did come for that purpose. How will they get the food to feed the whole world? Are they just going to snap their fingers or are they going to dictate to us the work we need to do to make it happen?

Incidentally, I do not recall Nemelka even talking about them being a Santa Claus as you portray them. Do you have a reference?

Alex; Then everyone will have their own free choice either to continue to pay medical insurance or not, go to work or not, etc., he-he.

Will capitalism survive under such a dictatorial regime?

JJ Yes, capitalism always suffers under dictators. Look at North Korea. No one is buying medical insurance there.

Pol Pot did away with money in Cambodia and no one bought anything and peopled starved to death.

Alex It will collapse without a single drop of blood shed, since money — this horrible tool of exploitation — will be rendered useless by the dictators. Not a single bit of property will be expropriated from the rich as Russian communists did in 1917. Not a single cent on the bank accounts will be touched.

JJ This is a communist dictators dream. Eventually we will move to a society that will not need money but it will not be accomplished by taking away free will but by using free will.

Alex Every type of work can either be performed by the Earthlings or by the ETs with their robots and technology. Every one of us will have a choice either to do a certain work or leave it to the “dictators” with their robots.

JJ You are going off of Nemelka’s teachings for he doesn’t believe in ET’s. Here is what he said:

WE ARE ALONE IN THIS PRESENT UNIVERSE. THERE ARE NO OTHER HUMAN BEINGS IN THIS PRESENT UNIVERSE THAT WE PERCEIVE THROUGH OUR SENSES WHILE GOING THROUGH THIS MORTAL EXPERIENCE UPON THIS EARTH. We can create a telescope as large as we want. We can come up with all kinds of theories. We can travel to the ends of the Universe, as we perceive it, but we will never encounter another human being in the present Universe that we perceive as mortal humans … ABSOLUTELY NEVER. LINK

The only thing close to ET’s he believes in are immortal beings – not other beings like ourselves.

Overall I think you were unjust in accusing me of misrepresenting Nemelka’s teachings. I think that what I wrote about them was quite accurate and the quotes I supplied verified that.

Free Will and Work, Part 2

In Part I in presented these questions: Does working at a job that is not our first choice take away from free will? If so, then who is to blame for this situation? Was someone else beside yourself supposed to supply you with a job opportunity that makes you happy?

Some may buy into the idea that the drudgery of working at a job that is not your first choice takes away free will but such is not the case. What they do not understand is there is a difference between natural limitation in which all life forms find themselves and free will or a lack thereof.

Allow me to give examples of both.

Natural limitation: Example One: Johnny is a seven-year-old kid and is frustrated that he cannot run as fast as his older brother. His lack of equality here is not caused by anyone taking away his free will but a natural limitation. He can however use his free will to exercise regularly to increase his running speed.

Interfering with free will: Example One: Big brother ties Johnny up so he can’t run anywhere.

Natural limitations: Example Two: Bob and Ken are climbing a mountain. Ken gets to the top but Bob runs out of steam before he reaches it. “I can’t go on,” he says and climbs back down and misses the great view. Both have equal free will but Bob has greater limitation because of natural unequal strength and determination.

Interfering with free will: Example Two: Ken gets to the top and then prevents Bob from getting there by pushing him back down every time he attempts the final ascent.

Natural limitations: Example Three: John’s a good-looking guy and can have any girl he wants. Alonzo is not so good-looking and socially awkward. No one wants to go out with him. Is lack of free will holding him back? No, he is suffering from natural limitations.

Interfering with free will: Example Three: John tells all the girls he knows to not date Alonzo because he is creepy and insane which is a lie. Alonzo is a nice guy.

Natural limitations: Example Four: Julia is a naturally talented singer and has always dreamed of singing in a nightclub. After years of cultivating her talent she finally gets her break working for a popular club and loves her job.

Kathy also dreams of singing in a nightclub but doesn’t have a good natural voice. The best job she can find is as a waitress in the nightclub and hates her job. Every time she sees Julia singing away enjoying herself she thinks, “That could be me!”

Is Kathy suffering from someone taking away her free will? No. She is dealing with a natural limitation.

Interfering with free will: Example Four: Kathy is so jealous that she kidnaps Julia so she cannot appear for her next performance. This definitely interferes with Julia’s free will.

All life forms, even God, the One Great Life, find themselves with limitations in this universe. This does not mean that anyone is taking away your free will. On the other hand, the main purpose of free will is to remove limitations. Johnny can increase his running speed through exercise. Bob can so strength training so he can climb the next mountain. Alonzo can get advice on improving his appearance and socials skills. Kathy can take singing lessons or maybe develop a natural talent she has in another area.

No supernatural being is going to come down, wave a magic wand, and remove all of anyone’s limitations. For one thing even supernatural beings have their own set or limitations, but they do not see them as something that takes away their free will.

Man is that he might have joy and joy comes through applying ourselves and removing our limitations. If someone does this for us then the source of our joy is diminished. When we apply ourselves and make progress by removing limitations then the bird of joy encircles us always, worlds without end.

Re: Free Will and Work, Part 2

Tom: When one says the song of the 144,000 and image the light going to all who say this song is it ok to send the light to my Mom and imagine her when saying the song as she does not say the song as I do. I have tried to get her to say it. I read that one can sends the light only to those that say it.

JJ Like the Song says “Wherever I will the light to descend.” I wouldn’t visualize her in the circle of those saying it since she does not but visualize the light descending on her would be fine.

Ruth: I am wondering what the definition of “natural limitation” refers to?

Is the limitation caused through the laws of nature?

JJ There’s no mystery here. They are just the limitations of the circumstances in which one finds himself.

Ruth: For example, an alcoholic pregnant woman who drinks throughout her pregnancy has unnaturally affected the fetus with a toxic substance, and hence has tampered with the laws of nature, so that the baby is born with limitations of the physical body, emotional body or mental body or all 3.

Or are natural limitations created by the Soul for karmic reasons?

JJ Everything has a reason. Our current circumstances are the result of all of our past and the soul arranges part of them.

Ruth: Also what role do particular Rays play in natural limitations?

JJ Similar to different sets of clothes you may choose to wear.

Re: Free Will and Work, Part 2

JJ wrote: Everything has a reason. Our current circumstances are the result of all of our past and the soul arranges part of them.

Dan: love, Love, LOVE!!! this concept but there seems to be something wrong with your sentence structure – or at any rate my understanding of it.

So do you mean: SOME or most of our current circumstances are the result of our past (experiences, decisions, etc) and all the rest of our circumstances/experiences are designed/arranged by our souls?

So then, TRUE “accidents” – in which one experiences something NOT the effect of either our past and NOT designed by the soul – either do not happen (period) or would be so RARE as to be virtually non-existent. Is that right?

JJ All current circumstances in our lives and all creation and activity in the universe is the result of past activity and decisions made.

Some are much more obvious than others. If you shoot at a bulls eye and hit it then the result is obviously the result of your intention and action.

On the other hand, if someone bumps you in the middle of a shot and you hit a passing dog then this result is not so obvious. Even so, it is still the result of the past, but more subtle things are involved.

All accidents are the result of one of three categories.

(1) Something planned by an intelligent force. For instance, I believe that the accident I had at age 13 that changed the course of my life was planned by my soul.

Then there are planned accidents less benevolent such as the evil husband disabling the brakes on his wife’s car.

(2) Carelessness. If I stub my toe this is merely an unplanned careless event not planned by intelligence but still the result of past activity.

(3) Collisions of subtle forces. DK talks about this. When Susan Carter injured her foot as discussed in the recent gathering audio she suffered a collision of forces moving in her life. A sensitive person can sense when such a collision is about to take place. If he does he can take pains to be extra careful and avoid an accident.

In the end, it is important to realize that some accidents are a part of a plan and others are not and could have been avoided. Even so, they are still the result of past activity and decisions set in motion.

Re: Free Will and Work, Part 2

Dan: So, even though every experience may NOT necessarily be “part of the plan”, nothing ever happens to us that isn’t either 1) a direct result of our past actions/decisions, or 2) a design of our soul (or both). Correct?

JJ Close, but not quite. To be technically correct we need to take out the word “our” and just word your first statement thus: “nothing ever happens to us that isn’t either 1) a direct result of past actions/decisions.”

The individual does have some things happen to him that may not be the result of his past actions and decisions but is the result of the past actions of the group to which he belongs. For instance, when a nation becomes involved in a war both good and bad people are affected. Many did nothing to get it started but still may suffer from it.

We are all part of a greater body. Take a look at your body. Perhaps your head wants to go on a roller coaster ride and makes that decision. During the ride the stomach becomes upset and thinks, “I didn’t ask for this.” Once the body decides then all parts are affected. Even so, we are all parts of a greater body.

JJ wrote: Collisions of subtle forces. DK talks about this. When Susan Carter injured her foot as discussed in the recent gathering audio she suffered a collision of forces moving in her life. A sensitive person can sense when such a collision is about to take place. If he does he can take pains to be extra careful and avoid an accident.

Dan: Could you talk a little more about these “subtle forces”, maybe give some examples of what might constitute such a “collision of subtle forces”?

JJ These forces are caused by a number of things. For the individual it may be problems going on in his life.

Let us say that Ben has been living a carefree life when suddenly he discovers his wife is having an affair and on top of that he may loose his job. This creates a stream of emotional energy that distracts him and makes an accident much more likely.

On the other hand, distractions leading to accidents can come from more subtle things.

Let us say that Jim’s son is being bullied at school and is depressed but acts like everything in his life is fine. As Jim is driving home his subtle body picks up the negative vibe from his son. He does not register the negative energy enough to consciously understand it but it does have the effect of distracting his attention and making him more accident prone.

In addition, the distractive negative energy may be coming from a number of different sources.

If one feels such subtle negative energies it is important that he be very careful when driving or in any circumstances where an accident is possible. When I feel such energies I say to myself: “You do not need to have an accident today.”
