Principle 74

This entry is part 71 of 98 in the series Principles

Evolution

“Evolution” is one of those emotional hot button words that stimulates a lot of response on both sides of the political and religious spectrum. The emotion generated is higher on the religious side because some see the Theory of Evolution as being anti God. Many make no distinction between the Theory of Evolution and the Principle of Evolution and reject out of hand any statement that merely contains the word.

What the most conservative fundamentalist believers must realize is that even if Darwin is totally rejected by them there this is no reason to reject the principle itself. It is totally in line with rational thought that evolution does exist for it has been demonstrated, many times.

To make sure we are on the same page let us define the word as it is generally used apart from Darwin. The Online Oxford dictionary defines it as follows:

The gradual development of something, especially from a simple to a more complex form. Example: the forms of written languages undergo constant evolution.

No one can deny that there are many things that evolve from the simple to the more complex and efficient.

A few centuries ago written languages had virtually no punctuation. There were no commas, parenthesis, exclamation points, paragraphs or periods. Ancient manuscripts are very difficult to read and are subject to more wrong interpretation than today’s writing. Modern language with the rules of grammar and punctuation is definitely an evolutionary improvement.

Humanity has never seen evolution proceed in such marked progress as they have witnessed during the age of computers. We have all seen the computer itself evolve from a very basic machine to one of great complexity and usefulness. A few years ago most of us could take or leave computers but now almost all see them, and digital devices, as, not only useful, but essential to some part of their lives.

A computer program is a profound example of evolution moving forward quickly. Most of the more established programs have ten or more versions in their history. The first program was very basic, but the latest has all kinds of bells and whistles, supplying us with more features than we will ever master.

Then too civilization itself is a great example of evolution. Since the discovery of fire and the wheel the human race has evolved in numerous ways in technology and social structure. A modern city or state is certainly more complex and organized than an ancient tribe.

Forget Darwin for now and let us look at the principle of evolution as it plays out in circumstances upon which we all agree. For instance, what is the force behind the principle that causes evolution to happen? In other words, what was it that caused a computer program to appear and then to morph from version one to version two and beyond?

Was it merely the program doing its own natural selection – or was it something else? And for that matter what caused the computer program to materialize in the first place? Was it just the basic zeros and the ones combing randomly until magical combinations were the result or was it something else?

Obviously it was something else.

And what was that something else?

That something else was intelligence.

To be more specific it is intelligence in matter.

“What do you mean by intelligence in matter? Matter doesn’t have intelligence,” says the dogmatic scientist.

To this we respond: “Is your body made of matter and are you, who are dwelling in a physical body, intelligent? If you consider yourself possessed of intelligence then you cannot deny there is intelligence in matter.”

Checkmate.

There are two ways of looking at evolution as it has occurred in the manifestation of this universe and life in it.

(1) There was no originating purpose or intelligence involved. Creation is something that just happened by chance. If the coin had flipped the other way nothing would be here.

(2) Some type of very high intelligence (usually called God) guided creation through form and matter.

Which of these suppositions is the most logical and follows the line of what has been factually observed?

First we know it is a fact that this universe was created and the chances of this happening with random luck has been calculated as 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 … (Add 1200 zeros)

This statistic does not include the chances of life evolving in it by chance.

Just the perfect balance of the negative and positive energies of protons and neutrons is a great mystery to scientists who do not have a clue as to why the atom itself is held together. They identify forces but have no idea of their origin or why they have the strength assigned to them.

Here is a statement beyond dispute:

All evolution that has been observed from beginning to end occurs because of some guiding intelligence.

Now some scientists take materials and with their intelligence synthesize them to the middle of an evolutionary process, or tabulate natural evolutionary changes in life and say, “See. God did not do this. There was no intelligence involved.”

But there was intelligence involved. There was a tremendous amount of intelligent programming already incorporated in the cells and molecules of the butterfly that changes color over generations to adapt to environment.

This is why I use the phrase “from beginning to end,” not the middle to end. If the middle is the result of unfathomable programming by high intelligence then we have an explanation as to why a creation can change and adapt, just as a sophisticated computer program can adapt to the needs of a user.

The bottom line is this. The beginning of a computer program does not occur by chance and cannot happen when no intelligence is involved. Our DNA, just one ingredient of life, is a giant computer program that we cannot even examine and duplicate, or reverse engineer (as of yet). To consider that such a complex program could have created itself is an insane use of logic. How could forces with no intelligence create a cell so complex that it cannot be reverse engineered by the highest intelligence on this planet?

The fact that there is indeed evolution in all aspects of creation proves that some intelligent mind is at work. We therefore conclude with a succinct statement describing the principle of evolution.

The driving principle behind all constructive evolution is intelligence. When intelligence is applied to force or form, the good, the beautiful and the useful materialize to be intelligently accessed by life in the universe.

Be humble for you are made of earth, but noble for you are made of stars.

Serbian Proverb

Principle 73

This entry is part 70 of 98 in the series Principles

Entropy

Entropy is the tendency of a system to degenerate to a state of chaos, asymmetry, disorganization or anarchy through lack of intelligent activity or attention. This is similar to the idea of attrition, with the main difference being that the principle of attrition, as I enumerated it, can be constructively useful when intelligently applied and directed by the mind.

Entropy is the disintegration that happens to an organized system when intelligent activity and thought is withdrawn.

The fact that the universe is NOT chaos is in itself indicative of intelligence. Moreover, the degree of complexity manifested from the quark to humans to the universe itself gives indications of both where the attention of that intelligence has been applied in the past as well as where it is currently focused.

When a creation has outlived its usefulness then the intelligent life force is withdrawn and the creation falls apart through entropy.

The best dictionary definition I can find for entropy that harmonizes with the principle is from the Wordsmyth online dictionary. It defines it as:

The natural and irreversible tendency toward randomness and disorder in any system without an external source of energy.

Perhaps we should redefine it slightly to harmonize with the principle under discussion:

The natural and irreversible tendency toward randomness and disorder in any system without an external source of energy applied with intelligence.

Energy alone is not enough to maintain order in the universe, on a planet, in a body, a cell or an atom. That energy must be applied with intelligence.

If intelligence is withdrawn from a creation then energy also dissipates and the system begins to disintegrate and fall apart.

A great example of this is the withdrawal of an intelligent entity from its body at death. When the intelligence withdraws then intelligent energy is not supplied to sustain the body and it rapidly starts to fall apart, or disintegrate.

Jesus said to consider the lilies of the field – Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If we look at any plant through a powerful microscope or the greater universe through the Hubble telescope we indeed see a majesty of creation that has to be sustained by some great intelligence.

One thing that presently impresses many scientists is the study of DNA and learning of its complexity, as if it were a great computer more powerful than any that we presently have.

Recent discoveries have convinced Professor Antony Flew, a renowned atheist scientistfor 50 years, that there is indeed a great intelligence we loosely call God.

At a symposium sponsored by the Institute for Meta-Scientific Research Flew decollated:

“What I think the DNA material has done is show that intelligence must have been involved in getting these extraordinarily diverse elements together. The enormous complexity by which the results were achieved look to me like the work of intelligence.”

Actually, just looking at a beautiful female sunbathing on the beach is enough to convince me, but to explore the complexity of the microcosm is even more impressive.

Conclusion:

The fact that great order exists in the universe and life in it which is sustained so entropy does not dominate proves that some great intelligence is at work.

God loves you just the way you are, but he loves you too much to let you stay that way.

Principle 72

This entry is part 69 of 98 in the series Principles

Brotherhood

In today’s world writing about the virtues of brotherhood, without mentioning the feminine aspect of sisterhood, seems to be politically incorrect. Unfortunately, those with high attachment to political correctness will often sacrifice accuracy in communication for what feels good to their emotional body.

In presenting this principle one must realize that there is a big difference between “brotherhood” and “sisterhood,” especially as it is used in esoteric teachings.

The word “brotherhood” is inclusive and “sisterhood” is not. When one writes of sisterhood he or she is only including the female gender and their positive interplay and connection. There is nothing wrong with this, as often such a word is needed to accurately communicate this special aspect of female relations.

Now, it is true that brotherhood does at times refer to the opposite polarity of meaning. Depending on the context of the writing it will sometimes be clear that the writer is using the word only in reference to the male gender.

However, when writing from a spiritual prospective the words “brother” and especially “brotherhood” often are inclusive and refers to human beings of either sex.

Many of the great female spiritual teachers of this age have avoided using sisterhood and used brother and brotherhood in an inclusive way to include all people of all races and both sexes.

Mary Baker Eddy who founded Christian Science, used brotherhood to include both sexes because, as she taught, both males and females are part of the one mind of God, not two minds. Helena Blavatsky and Alice A. Bailey, who popularized Theosophy and the Ancient Wisdom, both considered themselves part of a great brotherhood, not a sisterhood. Their writings even refer to themselves as “brothers.”

Another female spiritual innovator and Theosophical leader, Annie Besant wrote much about the value of brotherhood. Here is a quote from her treatise, Brotherhood of Religions:

The concept of Brotherhood stands on steadfast pillars. In it there can be no restrictions of age, race, or of occasional moods. Indeed, above all else there is the primary energy. If it is manifest, and if contacts through it can be harmonized, then there will be affirmed a lasting bond.

Helena Roerich was another innovative female spiritual teacher who was also intensely into brotherhood, even writing a book on the subject. Here is just one quote of many that could be given:

The spark of Infinity must be expressed in everything. Each concept must include presupposition of its development into Infinity. There may be noted whole series of concepts which succeed each other. Neither friendship nor cooperation can be terminal. Between them and the Subtle World there must be still another something that can equally belong to the two worlds. This something is called Brotherhood.

No greater concept can be named, none which could so crown human relations and correspond to the essential nature of the Subtle and Fiery (spiritual) Worlds. Therefore the Brotherhood is called threefold. It extends between the three worlds as a firm bridge. It is almost impossible to imagine the contact of the earthly with the Fiery World, but under the panoply of Brotherhood such confluence is made possible.

In more recent times we come to Helen Schucman, who penned A Course In Miracles, one of the most influential spiritual books of our age. The terms brother and brotherhood are stressed throughout as an inclusive concept that applies to all. She wrote:

The miracle acknowledges everyone as your brother and mine. It is a way of perceiving the universal mark of God.

Your mind will elect to join with mine, and together we are invincible. You and your brother will yet come together in my name, and your sanity will be restored.

Through your gratitude you come to know your brother, and one moment of real recognition makes everyone your brother because each of them is of your Father.

Even though it is politically correct to acknowledge both sexes in all that is written for the masses, such an effort would not only be fruitless, but detract from the pure teachings given out to spiritual seekers.

When it doesn’t interfere with the context I will occasionally throw in terms such as “brothers and sisters,” “he or she,” and “brotherhood and sisterhood,” but the readers of spiritual teachings must realize that, “brother” and “brotherhood” refers not to the male gender but to a spiritual recognition that we are all from the same Source and should look upon each other as family and friends.

Spiritual teachers of the present time have to deal with the fact that any slanting of wording toward the male gender is considered old fashion and sexist.

The problem in adapting to the politically correct crowd is that there has been no word created to replace “brotherhood.” Something like “humanityhood” sounds silly and still has the word “man” in it.

Stating “brotherhood and sisterhood” each time the view is expressed is wordy and not accurate, for sisterhood is not an inclusive word.

That said, let us put in words the true principle of brotherhood.

The principle of “brotherhood,” in the true spiritual sense, recognizes that we are all from the same Source and the one God dwells in each of us whether we are male or female, black or white, or of any belief system. A spiritual brother is another soul like ourselves who is traveling the path of return, moving through many lifetimes of both sexes and many races and types of individuals. In the end each of us have been all things to all people. The understanding and application of true love and brotherhood is the saving grace that finally redeems us from the lower nature.

“I sought my soul, but my soul I could not see. I sought my God, but my God eluded me. I sought my brother and I found all three.” – Unknown.

Principle 71

This entry is part 68 of 98 in the series Principles

The Principle of Seeing the Christ Within

This is an important principle for, if applied, it could change the world and bring peace on earth, good will to men.

First of all, let us enunciate the principle:

Within the core of each human being dwells, (generally veiled by walls of illusion) the same consciousness that was accessed by Jesus. Each of us are in the same family and are extensions of the One God. Most of us have forgotten who we are. Those who remember see past the negativity of their brethren to the truth of the Christ within. Hence, they remove their own limitations and know the truth that makes them free.

As the regular guy looks out upon the sea of humanity he sees the good, the bad and the ugly. He doesn’t see the Christ within those he considers the bad, the malicious, or even just the irritating people because there just doesn’t seem to be any Christlike goodness within them.

The same goes for the ugly, or any that disgust or repulse him. He makes no effort to see the Christ within. He doesn’t even want to be around them.

Now he does manage to see a little of the goodness of Christ in those he considers to be the good and the beautiful, but as soon as a few flaws surface this good loved one can instantly turn into someone who requires extreme patience on his part.

The interesting thing is that this irritating person has always had flaws. What then was the different in the beginning when the good was seen and the end where it was not?

The only difference was his focus of attention. In the beginning he was focused on the good and in the end he was focused on the flaws. During both time periods he was dealing with the same person, but the results were far different.

The most profound example of this playing out is the falling in and out of love experience. The closest the average person comes to seeing the true Christ within is through falling in love.

Have you noticed that people can fall in love with the most flawed of characters and after falling in love see past all their flaws and only the good.

One of the most extreme examples was illustrated by the female followers of Charles Manson. They looked beyond the abuse they received and later the fact that he instigated cold blooded murder. Despite all that, they saw him as being benevolent, right up there with Jesus.

We’ve all heard of examples of those who have fallen in love with prisoners who were thieves, rapists and murders and wondered how this could have occurred.

Thus brings up two questions:

(1) How could this have occurred in a sane person?

The answer is that all people have an originating spark of life from God within them and this Christ within can be seen in anyone, even the least of the brethren and sisters. This dwells within all, from the worst criminal to the mist holy saint.

The reason a person falls in love is that he refuses to see the flaws in the other person and looks for the good and focuses on it. This not only explains why decent citizens can fall in love with terrible criminals, but also explains why many fall in love with someone with a clean record, but later hates their guts.

The truth is that we can fall in love with any person on the planet. All one has to do is look past the flaws and imperfections of the person considered.

(2) Wouldn’t it do more harm than good to be oblivious to real external flaws in another, especially dangerous ones?

The answer is that some see the Christ within others and dangerously do not see the flaws whereas more advanced souls can be aware of flaws, but still have the power to look past them to see the Christ within.

We need to apply then Lion Principle, covered earlier. Many who work with lions truly love them, such as Siegfried and Roy, but fully realize that in the right situation the lion could kill them. Even so, must be our approach with seeing the Christ in others. We should not be like the Manson followers and ignore the dangers, but, instead, be like the animal lover who is aware of he dangers, works around them, but still sees the good in the animal.

Falling in love is the closest average people get to the wonderful soul energy available when seeing the Christ within, but there is more, much more.

As great as falling in love feels it lacks the purity of the higher spiritual energies that can be discovered by finding the Christ within ourselves and others. Regular romantic love does bring forth the love of Christ within, but blends it with lower emotional energy which diminishes its purity and spiritual power.

The goal should be to remove all veils of lower emotion, bias and preconceived notions to allow a full vision of the Christ within all our brothers and sisters.

When the seeker can see the undistorted Christ within the most disturbing of his associates he will then have a fuller soul experience with his or her true love as well as his own soul.

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

Principle 70

This entry is part 67 of 98 in the series Principles

The Principle of Soul

This principle is of great interest to seekers of all stripes, though soul contact itself is called different names by different people.

The term “soul contact” basically describes contact humans sometimes make with higher spiritual reality and spheres of being. This is something all religious and spiritual people seek to some degree.

The typical religious person will seek answers to prayer or occasional divine guidance. Some even describe encounters with angels or visions of God, Jesus or spiritual things.

Then other seekers associated with new age or eastern thought describe all kinds of experiences that they believe to be higher spiritual contact.

The reason higher contact is so sought after and cherished is that it replaces faith with knowledge. A higher contact is a real experience that verifies to a high degree that there is indeed a reality beyond the material world.

The question few ask is, what is the principle that makes higher contact possible?

Most give fairly vague answers such as quoting Jesus telling us to ask and we shall receive and seek and you shall find.

This apparently does not reflect the full principle for a few ask and receive while many do not. What is the principle that can make higher contact a reality?

There is indeed a point of contact which is neither material nor spirit, but where both interplay and the result of that interplay is soul energy.

Contacting this point which is neither spirit nor matter, up or down, wet or dry is the key to soul contact. This mysterious point where soul energy resides is the door that opens up consciousness to all higher contact.

So, how does one open this door to soul contact? I have written a lot on this subject in previous writings so I will just give a few important hints here:

(1) The consciousness must cease to focus on the material side as being all-important and balance it off with spiritual focus. When the seeker balances the physical and spiritual within he discovers the door of soul energy.

The enlightenment of the Buddha was a good example as described in my book The Lost Key of the Buddha

If you tune the strings of a harp too tight,

the sound will not be right.

If the strings are too slack as they play,

a beautiful sound will not be made.

Neither too tight nor too limp shall be the strings,

If the player is to be worthy of kings.

The tension must be tuned by the ear

To fill the soul of all who hear.

The door to higher contact will not be found in extreme focus on either spirit or matter but by the balanced mind.

(2) Because energy follows thought the seeker must direct his mind toward higher contact to receive higher contact. This is a self-evident truth that is often overlooked.

(3) The seeker must sustain his focus until he achieves the contacts he desires. Many give a feeble attempt and just give up.

(4) The seeker must seek to free himself from material attachments.

(5) The seeker must forgive all and hold no grievances.

(6) It helps to achieve correct focus to seek to understand Higher Will and seek to fulfill it.

(7) Listen in silence for the Inner Voice.

Conclusion: The Soul Principle can be stated as follows: The discovery of that zero point which is neither spirit or matter, but the interplay of them both.

Principle 69

This entry is part 66 of 98 in the series Principles

The Principles behind Disease and Health

The Health Principle could be stated as follows:

The state of being in tune, and receptive to, the natural flow of spiritual energy from God, who is our Source.

The disease Principle could also be stated thus:

The state of being out of tune, and not receptive to the natural flow of spiritual energy from God, who is our Source.

After reading this some may ask: “If this is true then why are there healthy atheists and unhealthy believers?”

This is best answered with another question:

If a person is completely ignorant about electricity, with no knowledge of it at all, will the lights still come on when he turns on the switch?

The answer is, of course, yes. Even so, many atheists are more receptive to the natural energies within them than are believers. Because they do not realize their true Source does not mean they are not available to him when he turns the switch on.

Speaking of the justice of God Jesus said:

“…for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” Matt 5:45

The same goes for all the gifts of God. They are available whether we believe or not. Just like believers and non-believers alike merely have to accept the life-giving rays of the sun to take advantage of them – the same goes for benefitting from the health-giving internal rays from our True Source. They are available to all life.

Does this mean that believing or having faith has no beneficial health effects? No. Everything has some effect and church goers in the United States live about seven years longer than non believers and statistics show they have overall better physical and mental health. Check out this story.

Even so, there are some atheists, as individuals, healthier than other comparable individual believers, which illustrates the point that good health will manifest in those who open themselves up to the natural source of healing energy. Faith in God merely makes one a little more naturally open, hence the longer average lives and better health of believers.

It is interesting that the word “disease” beaks down to dis-ease, or suggesting the state of mind that is ill at ease, not at ease, or disturbed.

When one receives the natural energies from God he is indeed at peace and at ease. There is a state of being in tune with the natural order of things and of being at peace with what IS.

Exactly what does it take to be a good receiver? To understand this we must understand what we are receiving. The life energy from God breaks down to three aspects of light, love and power. The receiver must therefore be receptive to the following

(1) Light. He must follow the highest he knows.

(2) Love. Have a love for all life including his own. He should show appreciation to all living things and events.

(3) Power. He should have respect for all the energies he perceives, including life itself, and be receptive to them as being beneficial.

If this is the key to health then what do we do wrong that brings disease or makes us ill at ease?

The person blocks the energies of the three aspects something like this.

(1) Light. He doesn’t follow the highest he knows and is plagued by guilt as well as a cloud covering of his own making that veils the light.

(2) Love. There are those he has not forgiven in his heart causing him to hold grievances. He sees evil where he should merely register misguided souls who have taken a wrong turn. There are too many areas of life where a thankful heart is lacking.

(3) Power. He feels that the Powers-That-Be are against him. He sees the world as being tainted with evil and thus all that filters down to him lacks purity and is not to be fully received. While it is true that there are things to be avoided in life, this does not include the natural forces that sustain our lives. These we must embrace.

The ways the imagination of humanity has devised to avoid receiving or distorting all the divine energies sent our way are without number. This article just gives the seeker a couple good thoughts on which to ponder.

May he ponder well and live long and prosper.

“The best love is the kind that awakens the soul; that makes us reach for more, that plants the fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds.” —from The Notebook

Principle 68

This entry is part 65 of 98 in the series Principles

The Principle of True Authority

The standard view of authority is that it is a recognized institutionalized power delegated to certain individuals to have power of command or influence over other individuals. What gives these authorities power is that there are negative consequences if these authorities are not respected or followed.

The most common of such authorities is the police officer. He was not elected by you or me but was appointed, or chosen, for his position. If he follows you and turns on his red light you now this is a powerful authority telling you to pull over and stop.

After he stops you and says, “stay in the car” or ‘get out of the car” you know you had better do as he says or you will regret it.

Most of us have no problem with this delegated police authority as long as it is not abused. We need a certain amount of this type of authority to maintain order in our society.

Still, when I get a ticket for harmlessly driving a few miles an hour past the limit I think to myself that it would be nice if we lived in a society advanced enough to be self-regulating. Well, we aren’t there yet, so we need a certain amount of appointed authorities to maintain order.

There is a major problem with appointed authorities that is rarely addressed and never solved. Some appointments are good, many mediocre, and some outright bad. In our system though, the quality matters not, for we are under their power equally whether they are qualified or not.

For instance, it matters not whether the police office telling you to get out of the car is a good cop or bad cop. The authority is the same. You must get out of the car or suffer consequences.

This is pretty much seen as a necessary evil within our system.

This necessary evil appears in all layers of appointed authority. Every year many laws and regulations are passed, some of which, we as individuals think are the work of a sick mind. Even so, they have authority over us whether they be beneficial or not.

You may have had no choice in the principle, counselor or teacher that has authority to educate your child. Your child must follow their authority whether they be competent or not, or suffer consequences.

Yes, we have many unavoidable appointed authorities in our lives, but there are many others that people subject themselves to by their own choice. The most common of these are religious authorities, but they sometimes have more power than civil ones.

Why?

Because authorities within one’s accepted religion are seen as being sanctioned by God, and God is the ultimate authority, seen as being more powerful than a police office, or even the President.

Most church members realize there are good and bad leaders within their organization. It matters not – to follow them is to submit to the will of God.

Few, if any, would follow an order by a police officer to drink poison Kool-Aid, yet nine hundred people followed their religious leader, Jim Jones in 1978 at Jonestown, and did just that.

Even though religious and ideological groups can be accepted or rejected through free will, once they are totally accepted, an appointed authority within the organization is potent indeed, often exceeding that of civil authority.

Overall appointed authorities have power over individuals because of the following in order of influence:

(1) They are seen as representing God

(2) They have power to punish

(3) Rejecting, or even questioning them, may cause one to be thrown out of the group or organization

(4) Rejecting them may cause other members to reject or look down upon the questioning individual.

(5) Rejecting them may limit one’s own rise in authority in the group.

(6) The authority actually gives evidence that he is competent and knows what he is doing.

Notice that the last in order of influence in the minds of many is the only one that has real value.

If the religious guy tells you that you will go to hell and burn forever if you do not what he says, why would you believe him? Has he somehow demonstrated that this is a fact?

No.

The believer accepts because of a mindset, generally built on some type of illusion.

Looking at such a statement logically, the guy has no more real authority than you do.

Now, let us suppose you want to learn martial arts and you know of two teachers. The first is a guy recommended by your church. All you know about him is that he is a good member.

The second is a guy you have seen in action and you know he is very accomplished. If you have any common sense which will you choose?

The second, of course.

Why?

Because, if all illusion is stripped away, he is the only one with true authority.

This brings us to an understanding of the two types of authority. There is earned and unearned authority. The martial arts guy who demonstrated his ability is an earned authority. He one who did not is unearned.

The authority that tells you that you are going to hell is unearned as he has supplied no evidence that he knows that he is talking about.

On the other hand, the reformed drug addict who tells you that you are on a path to living hell if you abuse drugs is an earned authority.

The appointed Spanish teacher who cannot speak the language and has no successful students is an unearned authority. The teacher who can speak the language with successful students is an earned authority.

The cancer doctor whose statistical cure rate is little higher than if nothing was done is an unearned authority no matter who proclaims otherwise.

The natural healer, considered a quack by many, would be an earned authority to the thinker if his cure rate is high – no matter who believes otherwise.

If one believes a certain political system to be the best, but it has never been successful, but always failed, then he is relying on unearned authority.

If one supports a proven political system then he leans toward earned authority.

Once a seeker understands and accepts the difference between earned and unearned authority his quest for true knowledge is greatly enhanced. When you think about it the difference is quite simple – which makes it all the more amazing that so many are tricked into blindly accepting unearned authority.

Unearned authority is the foundation of the power of the beast and it is so deceptive it is written:

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Rev 13:8

The pressure to accept unearned authorities in this world is great. For those who live under a tyrant their freedom, or even life, is on the line. For those in a religion their eternal salvation seems at stake if they question unearned authority in their system.

For those in a profession, such as medicine, challenging authority can cause them to lose their license or hospital privileges.

A faithful employee in a business can lose his job or the possibility of promotion.

Questioning unearned authority can even affect your social life. Questioning the sacred cows of your friends can cause them to distance themselves from you.

At this point the natural question to arise is why are so many tricked into blindly accepting unearned authority?

The answer is that unearned authority is often mixed in with some earned authority and the masses like to see things in terms of black and white. The average person just wants to accept or reject a thing and not go to the effort of sorting out truth from error.

Let us take a medical specialist that treats cancer, for example. He has gone through a lot of training and experience and indeed could be called an earned authority on some matters. He has studied and practiced his profession for many years and can generally be trusted to have many accurate facts at his disposal which, conforms to his belief system concerning the approach to medicine.

Within his belief system, he is an earned authority.

But what happens when we go outside his belief system and we want accurate information and guidance on alternative treatments?

Most established physicians have strong bias, as well as being ill informed about alternatives and will just condemn them out of hand.

This condemnation is often taken to be from the highest possible authority by the patient and dutifully follows the orthodox advice, often to his untimely death.

In addition to his lack of knowledge outside his field they will often not tell you what they do know.

For instance, what physician will tell his patients that a survey shows that over 80% of cancer doctors would not take chemotherapy if they had cancer, yet so highly recommend it that 75% of their patients are subject to it.

Who tells their patients that chemotherapy only creates a 3% cure rate and often with terrible side effects?

Who tells their patients that chemotherapy and radiation can increase the risk of developing a second cancer by up to 100 times?

They may know this information and much more but not share because it is not in the interests of their profession.

So, yes, orthodox experts in all fields can be earned authorities in their fields of expertise if they are honest, but the seeker must realize that they must sort out what is earned and not earned.

The trinity of accurate knowledge, honesty and good judgment must accompany true earned authority.

If the seeker tests his authority and finds that his knowledge is often inaccurate then he will not be able to trust him as an earned authority in the future, but must verify anything he says that is of importance.

If the seeker verifies that the authority deceived him or distorted the information then again he will not be able to trust him in the future but must verify anything he uses.

Finally, if the seeker finds the authority has demonstrated bad judgment then he needs to avoid automatically accepting his advice, examine the situation and rely on his own judgment, or the advice of a true earned authority.

Now, let us say the seeker has found what he considers a true earned authority. His knowledge seems sound, he is honest and seems to have good judgment. Should he just accept all he says without question, even if his words are hard to believe?

No. All of us humans are fallible and no one is right all the time. Even so, an earned authority can be very valuable to the seeker – especially in areas where the authority has more knowledge than the seeker.

An obvious example would occur when the seeker needs medical help beyond his own expertise, such as setting a broken bone or a dental problem. In such cases one needs a trained earned authority to help out.

However, when one goes beyond standard procedures and habit forming drugs become involved then one must do his own homework.

There are lots of spiritual teachers out there and if one finds he meets the true criteria and seems reliable then he can be of great assistance. If a teacher is not an earned authority then the seeker does not give his words the weight of one who is earned. But even with an earned authority one should not automatically accept what he says, but neither should he reject out of hand anything that does not fit his belief system. The advantage of the earned authority is that you know that he is honest and has placed a lot of thought in what he is teaching and that there is a good chance he is right, even if the teaching sounds strange.

The seeker can then give weight to his words and let them foment in his inner being and see what happens. Often additional enlightenment will come.

If such enlightenment does come then additional weight will be added to the words of the earned authority.

Even so, one should never cross that line so the earned authority is blindly accepted in all cases, as if he were infallible. No matter how trusted the outer authority is, the seeker must always check out anything that does not register with his own soul.

Which brings us to this question: When does the soul become an earned authority?

This is not an instantaneous happening and takes time. Before soul contact is achieved the seeker will often think that the good side of his feeling nature is his soul, but will often be disappointed in attempting to follow his desire nature. Following our own hopeful desires often leads us to dead ends, and sometimes disaster.

When the voice of the soul first comes it is very subtle and the seeker may think it was just his imagination and not trust it. It is only after he tests it again and again and proves it to himself to be correct that it finally becomes an earned authority.

But even after the soul becomes a solid earned authority the seeker must weigh carefully his own judgment, for a bad judgment can distort the highest revealed truth.

In the end it takes a long and great struggle with highly focused attention to navigate through the fogs of life until one finally arrives at the heart of the sun where light will be revealed within light itself.

No man has any natural authority over his fellow men. Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Principle 67

This entry is part 64 of 98 in the series Principles

The Principle of Free Will Over Force

There are two types of people on this planet. Those who believe in implementing their cherished ideas through maximum use of free will and those who desire to use the easy route and merely use force if they should have the power.

There is a major difference between the two in the planning and the implementation thereof.

The force group are very idealistic and authoritarian and when they create or accept a plan they do so thinking that it is the best of all possible worlds and seek to literally implement it by force. Anyone who seeks to change it or make it better is seen as a heretic and punished to the maximum allowed.

The free will group also seeks for the ideal plan, but is non authoritarian and realizes that many details of the plan may have to be altered for the better before a perfected final plan is created. Those who come up with improvements are not attacked but welcomed and rewarded.

Unfortunately true free will groups are rare. Usually the best you get is some free will mixed with more force than necessary. Even so, groups using some free will create much better results than the force groups

It is interesting to compare the evolution of the two.

The force group starts out by preaching an ideal that sounds great to the unthinking. Maybe someone writes up a book or a plan outlining how things are to work. Eventually, an idealist person or group gets in a position of power and put the plan before the people.

They do not say the plan will be implemented by force but proceed as if they have majority support whether they do or not. Those few who will benefit from the plan, whether it works or not, put their energy and money behind it and do all in their power, including deception, to get the support necessary to force the plan on the masses. There is no promise of free stuff that is beyond them making.

Once the plan is carried out major problems start to surface. Instead of admitting there is something wrong with either the plan or the planners they take the approach of the infallible religious fundamentalist that the plan is as good as if it were inspired of God and move forward without changes.

Then when things become worse the authorities are forced to take a look and make some type of seeming change, supposedly for the better.

Instead of changing what does not work to that which does work (which goes against their belief system) they start throwing out blame stating that the plan has not worked as desired because:

(1) Heretics are interfering.

(2) Those supporting it are being lazy and not working hard enough.

(3) More effort and funds need to be directed to the failing work to make it succeed.

True believers support this approach, but many do not. Many of the opposition are afraid to speak up because of retribution of some kind. How bad the fear is depends on the power possessed by the leaders. If they have ultimate power to imprison or decree death then the fear and suppression will be great. If their power is not absolute then there may be fear of tax audits, legal charges or mere ostracization.

Even with little opposition, and getting what is called for, the plan still does not work and deteriorates in quality. Instead of making changes supported by the people, the leaders just decree more of the same and the cycle is repeated until there is stagnation or collapse.

An example of collapse of such a system was the fall of the old Soviet Union. Another lesser example is the fall of Prohibition in the United States.

Examples of stagnation are North Korea and Cuba, though both of these will eventually collapse and experience a change in their system when weaker leaders surface.

So, what happens when there is a collapse? Unfortunately, often the unworkable ideal is replaced by another unworkable ideal effected by force.

Once in a while, the force group is replaced by a freedom group. When this happens there are many problems at first because those used to being controlled do not understand how to use their freedom. If the freedom group is not nipped in the bud then progress is made and begins to accelerate and prosper. Many changes are made along the way for the better.

Just as everything seems to be progressing well many of the idealistic force people materialize attacking the system explaining to the people why their ideals are better and that they need to be enabled through force. They do not use the word “force” but this is implied, as it is the only way they can activate their plan.

Step by step these people implement more force into the freedom group until a crisis is reached. When the crisis arrives the freedom group will sometimes come to their senses about the threat and restore a degree of freedom. This does not stop the threat as the force group resurfaces again and again.

Jefferson is proved to be correct: “The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.”

Sadly, the force group will sometimes overthrow the freedom group and take full control. If they are fully successful the freedom people will be greatly persecuted and suppressed and great will be their sorrow and distress. Eventually the force group will fail and he freedom people will seize another day of opportunity.

Other times of crisis, when freedom still swells in the hearts of many, the freedom people will gather and fight back to restore their freedoms. If this is the situation the conflict will be fierce and the struggle difficult indeed. These will be times that will try the souls of men and women.

There is a ray of hope as our civilization moves forward. There is a pendulum that swings back and forth between freedom and slavery and the force toward freedom is increasing with each swing. Eventually all people will have the freedom to fully express themselves in harmlessness. May that day arrive sooner rather than later.

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Principle 66

This entry is part 63 of 98 in the series Principles

The Business Principle

The world of business is often considered an evil enterprise by spiritual seekers. If at all possible they seek to withdraw from the world where goods are exchanged for profit and seek an uninterrupted spiritual quest in a monastery, some type of ashram, a cult, or even their parent’s basement.

Ahh… to be free from business to them is like being free from the greed of the world. With such freedom the seeker can then pursue his spiritual quest for peace and enlightenment without distraction.

I wonder if such a person has ever asks himself this question.

Who travels faster upon the spiritual path? The one who withdraws and concentrates on moving the self forward to the light…

Or

The honest businessperson who seeks to make a living for himself and others by providing a product or services needed and appreciated by many people?

It would indeed be an ironic twist of fate for the dedicated spiritual, but isolated, seeker to learn, upon achieving true soul contact, that the businessperson may have taken the higher path.

In the end he may discover that the apostle Paul was one of the greatest examples of one who treads the Path. He supported himself through his business of tent making while learning and teaching others about the things of the spirit.

Imagine how different the Christian Church would be today if he had not made those tents and sold them for a profit. He may not have had power to accomplish his mission, and without Paul, it is entirely possible the movement would have withered into oblivion just as many other great movements have before and since.

Let us just look at the spiritual benefits from someone like Paul compared to the monk who withdraws from the world.

Let us examine Paul first:

(1) Through his business he supplied others with shelter through making tents. How much profit did he make? Probably the going rate, but without the possibility of profit the tents would not have been made and the shelter would not have been available. Maybe some children would have died in the hot sun.

(2) Paul was more concerned about bringing light to others than to himself. He exerted great zeal and effort in teaching others the highest he knew and in the process changed the church and the world.

(3) In addition to teaching he proved to be a great server. He said:

For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. I Cor 9:19

So even here, in being a servant of Christ, Paul sees the principle behind gaining a profit for your work saying “that I might gain the more.”

He understood the great principle taught by his Master:

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. Mark 8:35

If one loses himself in the service of others without thought of self then he will experience the greatest possible benefit to himself as well as those he helps.

But, if one puts service to self first then little if any benefit will be gained.

(4) In losing himself to service additional light was given to him until he was caught up to the “third heaven” and heard “unspeakable words.”

He again discovered the truth of the words of his master:

For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. Mark 9:41

When Jesus spoke of water he generally meant the gifts of the Spirit, but that does not diminish the value of giving physical food and drink.

Let us compare this to the one who withdraws from the world to seek enlightenment of self. What benefits come to him or others?

(1) He is of very little service to others. Perhaps he makes himself useful by sweeping the floors in the monastery.

(2) He may gain a little self control and focus he can use in another lifetime, but will be of little use to God or man in this one unless he becomes a true server.

The popular health author, Andreas Moritz, gives an interesting account of his own escape from separateness:

A few years later, I began working for, and with, the founder of TM, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, to spread his meditation to the rest of the world. Little did I realize during the following ten years that I had become just as strong a fanatic in pursuing this mission as the early missionaries who tried to convert ‘lost and Ignorant souls’ to become children of God.

In fact, I had become exactly what I dreaded seeing in others. The Maharishi told us that his meditation would solve every kind of problem in life, no matter of what origin. Therefore, as a teacher of this meditation, called ‘Governor of the Age of Enlightenment’, I believed 1 knew the answers to every difficulty. I would feel guilty if I missed a few minutes of meditation since I was supposed to meditate for a certain length of time twice daily in order to gain enlightenment and help create world peace. Being a very devoted and ‘responsible’ teacher, I was absolutely regular in my practice and spent whatever time and resources I had available in spreading TM to the world. I had no ‘time’ for personal relationships for over ten years and when I learned that not listening to the master’s (Maharishi’s) instructions or going against his wishes would incur such bad karma that not even God could save such a person, I became even more disciplined and meticulous about how I lived my life.

All I had done was replace the fear of God and the Catholic Church with the fear of a spiritual master, another God. I wanted to become spiritually enlightened so badly because I believed this would save me from hell. Thirty years of meditating twice a day, several years of which I would dedicate eight hours a day to the going-within practice, certainly helped me develop qualities of serenity and patience and other values, but it didn’t bring me enlightenment. I had unsuccessfully searched for something I already was…

From his book, Lifting the Veil of Duality

Then instead of meditating eight hours a day he spent the rest of his life dedicated to the book publishing business giving out useful information on health that has been appreciated by many thousands.

I’m sure he still did some meditation, but not to the extent that it would interfere with service to others.

Many seekers who are not able to withdraw from the world still hold a disdain for business. It is frustrating for most that they have to depend on some kind of business to make a living. Even if they work for the government they are paid with taxes earned from business, so there is no escape from some type of reliance on them.

The question before us is this. Is this faction justified in their negative view of business? If not, then what is the cause of their illusion?

The first step in resolving this is to put the Business Principle into words. Here it is:

The Business Principle consists of several ingredients.

(1) Find a service of product that that is useful enough to the public to be desired by them.

(2) Figure out a way to efficiently provide that product or service.

(3) Figure out reasonable price for consumers to pay based on:

(A) What they are willing to pay.

(B) Incorporating enough built in profit so the business can pay itself and its employees a high enough wage to keep the business viable.

(4) Figure out a way to promote the business so the public is aware of the products and services.

This could be condensed into the following:

The Business Principle consists of serving your fellow men and women by providing a more valuable service or product than the money exchanged for them.

For instance, if I purchase $1.00 worth of bananas I have decided that the bananas are worth more to me than the dollar I am exchanging for it. If it is not, then I will keep the dollar and not purchase them.

“Okay, says the skeptic. You make business sound like it is almost spiritual. How do you explain all the greed and corruption that we see on display?

The answer is quite simple. Wherever there is power, or an exchange of power, you have the built in possibility of constructive or destructive used.

Does this mean that the goal should be to eliminate all use of power so no one has power to do anything?

Of course not. That would be plain silly to consider such a thing.

What needs to be accomplished with any power is to put it to constructive use and do our best to eliminate harmfulness.

Business is a real source of power that causes civilization itself to work and exist, but there are other powers.

Political or governing powers are higher up the ladder than business for they can tell business what to do. It is true that business influences government, but government has the last word, the deciding vote.

Is there misuse of political power? Indeed; Hitler’s destructive use of it made business people look like Mother Teresa by comparison.

Even in the best of governments we see more greed and corruption than we can take.

How about religion? Is there a misuse of power there? Indeed we see almost daily stories about corrupt ministers, priests, and members doing outrageous things with their power.

Here is a couple of paragraphs that turned my stomach from this morning’s paper:

QADIYA, IRAQ — In the moments before he raped the 12-year-old girl, the Islamic State fighter took the time to explain that what he was about to do was not a sin. Because the preteen girl practiced a religion other than Islam, the Quran not only gave him the right to rape her – it condoned and encouraged it, he insisted.

He bound her hands and gagged her. Then he knelt beside the bed and prostrated himself in prayer before getting on top of her.

When it was over, he knelt to pray again, bookending the rape with acts of religious devotion.

“I kept telling him it hurts – please stop,” said the girl, whose body is so small an adult could circle her waist with two hands. “He told me that according to Islam he is allowed to rape an unbeliever. He said that by raping me, he is drawing closer to God,” she said in an interview alongside her family in a refugee camp here, to which she escaped after 11 months of captivity.

From: New York Times, August 13, 2015

I have never experienced any harm from any business that comes close to the above misuse of power – and that from people claiming to represent a benevolent God?

Power is exercised in all areas of life, through the media, Hollywood, science, education, law enforcement, money, lobbyists, associations and even family.

All power can be used for good or evil.

To single out one use of power, such as business, and to classify it as evil and some other source as good is illusion indeed.

It is essential that power be available for use in all areas of life, just as we insist on maintaining our power of free will. Many misuse free will but none of us would relinquish it. Yes, free will and power are risky elements in the hands of humankind, but essential to our progress and happiness.

Slowly the wheels of justice turn and guide us toward right use of all power granted to us.

It is written:

Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. Titus 1:15

Basically this says to me that if you have a pure heart you see the good in all things, the glass half full. You see the good that is in politics, religion, science, the media, education and even business – or perhaps, especially business.

“There are two types of people who will tell you that you cannot make a difference in this world: those who are afraid to try and those who are afraid you will succeed.” Ray Goforth

Principle 65

This entry is part 62 of 98 in the series Principles

The Principle of Economy

Some have used the phrase “Law of Economy” but I haven’t seen the principle behind it described. It is time someone put it into words.

Here it is:

When any form of intelligence manifests a workable idea into physical existence the final, most useful form will have eliminated all excess motion and energy expenditure. In other words, the final creation will operate at maximum efficiency with as much simplicity as possible.

The French Franciscan friar, William of Ockham, in the 14th century did not fully define this principle but observed its effects and described how they manifest as follows:

“Entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily” or “Plurality should not be posited without necessity.”

Previous to him Aristotle expressed a similar idea, “Nature operates in the shortest way possible.”

Since Ockham’s time scientists have simplified the idea to read: “when you have two competing theories that make exactly the same predictions, the simpler one is the better.” They have even simplified the name, reducing it from “Ockham’s Razor” to “Occam’s Razor.”

Finally human culture has reduced it to, “Keep it simple stupid,” or the simplest of all – KISS.

The Principle of Economy allows us to understand the creative process from the engineering aspect from beginning to end; whereas Occam’s Razor gives us the logical approach to reverse engineer something an intelligence has designed.

In other words, a competent creator uses the Principle of Economy to successfully manifest his idea. Therefore, an intelligent being who wants to understand the creation by studying it is wise to consider that all the ingredients function in the simplest way possible. If he sees with too much complexity he is not likely to understand correctly.

Those using Occam’s Razor are like the scientists who have found an alien spaceship and are trying to figure out how it works.

Those using the Principle of Economy” are like scientists who build a spaceship from scratch with the idea of making it as functional and efficient as possible.

Occam’s Razor and the Principle of Economy imply that simplicity rules in intelligent creation. This does not mean though that all creation was a simple thing to accomplish or understand. A flower, for example, is an extremely complex creation. Even so, all its parts and processes function in the simplest way possible. Without the use of simplicity and great efficiency, the flower could not even manifest.

The flower is so complex that all the scientists in the world have yet failed to reverse engineer one, yet as they look into creation, step by step, great simplicity is revealed within that which is complex.

In Darwin’s day scientists thought that the cells of a flower, or even a human, were merely a simple mass of nebulous protoplasm. They never dreamed about the complexity of DNA, RNA and all the intelligent electrical interplay among the trillions of atoms of which it is composed.

Still, as scientists make discovery after discovery they find great simplicity and efficiency amidst the great complexity of creation.

The use of Occam’s Razor is useful for scientists as they proceed step by step in discovery of this universe, and all that is in it, but it cannot quickly reveal all the layers behind the creative process, except through a long process of time.

However, when discoveries are made we always find that the Principle of Economy was at play in any successful creation.

Why is it that atoms of hydrogen, helium and oxygen have the same components and function in a far away island universe (called a galaxy) as here in earth?

The answer is the Principle of Economy guides intelligence to manifest the same creation in far different locations. Two creators following the Principle of Economy with the same idea will wind up creating the same thing operating on the same principles, even if they work independently of each other.

It is interesting that on the same day that Alexander Graham Bell applied for a patent for the telephone that another man, Elisha Gray, also applied for the same thing. The only reason Bell got the patent is he technically applied a few hours earlier than Gray.

Were the two phones totally different?

No. Because of the Principle of Economy in creation they both operated on the same principles.

A computer is generally considered to be a very complex instrument, but all of its mind-boggling processing begins with the great simplicity of the binary system of just two numbers, zeros and ones.

By putting billions of these zeros and ones together in the most efficient way possible for usefulness they are able to create thousands of complex computer programs, such as Microsoft Word that I am using as I write this.

The same goes for the creation of your body and everything in it. As we descend further and further into microcosmic matter we cannot find anything solid. All we find are wavelengths composed of an up and down corresponding to the zeros and ones in your computer.

The creation of all things begin with the duality of positive and negative. The two polarities multiply and then are intelligently organized. When guided by intelligence they organize according to the Principle of Economy to manifest some grand idea that is to be made flesh, or into a usable or beautiful material form.

That’s been one of my mantras – focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.  Steve Jobs
