The Laws That Perfect Mankind

-- Cause And Effect --

What Is The Source Of Evil?

Why Does Bad Things Happen To Seemingly Good People?

Would A Benevolent God Permit Human Suffering?

If There Is A God, Why Doesn't He Fix This World?

All of man's hardships in this life -- his seemingly incomprehensible struggles -- and all his sufferings at what he portrays as the hands of evil -- are all due to his own ignorance and rejection of The Laws which initiate and bring about all events in this world.   In the same way that if a man attempted to drive a car without any understanding of the traffic laws -- or even the proper operation of the vehicle -- that he would very quickly find himself in trouble, is very much how the vast majority of mankind approaches the reality of the life they are presently living.   If man attempting to jump off a high cliff -- spreading his arms in the manner of a bird -- without understanding the law of gravity -- he would very quickly suffer the consequences of his actions.    To reach out and touch a hot stove -- shove your hand into a fiercely burning fire -- step on a venomous snake -- swim in shark infested waters -- attempt to befriend the cubs of a grizzly bear who is protecting her young -- walk out in the middle of a freeway at night wearing dark clothing -- or any other such foolish actions -- is representative of the manner in which most people attempt to live their lives.   In the same way that the earth moves around the sun, and the sun in part of our solar system, every movement and action has a pre-existing cause.   Day follows night -- spring follows winter -- summer follows spring -- and the cycles of the seasons move all of life upon the face of the earth.     

If we pose the question as to what degree life on earth is predestined?   It is at this point where the biblical teaching of predestination gets really frightening for the vast majority of people.   Why?   They are in denial -- and not only did they corrupt the scriptures to suppress this important fact of life -- but they simply refuse to believe what the scriptures and Jesus originally taught.   Therefore, in our present time they do not possess even the necessary knowledge of the Laws that control every event, endeavor and person in this world.    From a biblical perspective, this all-pervading fact of life is demonstrated in Jesus' own words when he said: “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's will” (Matt 10:29 RSV).   If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground apart from the Will of the Father, then we have no other option than to come to terms with the biblical fact that everything in this life is directly orchestrated by God?   On this verse the Adam Clark Commentary states: “The providence of God extends to the minutest things; everything is continually under the government and care of God, and nothing occurs without his will or permission”.   And this fact of the Laws is expressed in the Wisdom of Isaiah: “I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please” (Isa 46:10 NIV).

Lacking even the basic knowledge to understand these statements, most students of the Bible choose to ignore what they do not and cannot understand, and ignore the ramifications of the countless biblical verses that confirm this all-encompassing message that controls every aspect of life that man lives upon the face of the earth.   Moreover, just as important as the above statement by Jesus, is the very words he spoke to the man who he healed when he warned: "Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee" (John 5:14 KJV).   We must therefore ask: If our own actions can cause "...a worse thing [to] come unto [us]", how is this tribulation brought about?  The answer is that there were Laws put into action at the very beginning of Creation which returns to each person the fruit of their own actions -- “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows” (Gal 6:7 NIV).   With respect to the above, Paul went on to say that someone who professes to believe in Jesus, and continues to sin, are not only apostates to the Gospel, but that their fate is worse off than the unbelievers -- i.e., "For it is impossible to restore again to repentance those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they then commit apostasy, since they crucify the Son of God on their own account and hold him up to contempt.. For if we sin deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful prospect of judgment, and a fury of fire which will consume the adversaries." (Heb 6:4-6;10:26-27 RSV).   And how is this judgment brought about?  By virtue of the Laws that return to each person the fruit of their own past.

Without Exception, every person is at their present station in life, by virtue of the road they personally traveled to get there.   Without Exception, everything that exists, exists for a reason -- and has been brought about as the result of a pre-existing causal action, which has become manifest in order to bring about a preordained result.   Without Exception, your present life is the result of your past, and you are presently creating and forming your future.    Without Exception, if you are a victim of any of life's circumstances, then you have made yourself a victim by virtue of your own actions, inactions, or complacency.    Without Exception, your own past actions are responsible for your present gender, race, sexual orientation, social and economic station in life, manner of thinking and mindset, and even the religious, political and cultural conditions of the life you are presently living.    And the fact that you fail to understand even the basis of Jesus' words on this subject, indicates that you lack any real practical understanding of any of Jesus' fundamental teachings. 

It is the mind that raises man above the beasts of the earth -- that permits him to prevail over the forces of nature -- that enables him to rule over his environment -- overcoming even the very force of gravity that holds him to the earth, and traveling to distant heavenly bodies that his ancestors worshiped as gods.   And to escape the limitations of this world, and begin to rule over one's self in pursuit of the Inner Kingdom (see Gate Of Eden) -- and through this expansion of the mind beyond the organic limitations of earth-consciousness, the prodigal sons and daughters are able to fulfill the Laws in the same way as their Elder Brother Jesus taught, and become re-born in the Kingdom while still in the body-vessel.   Thus, to this end the Gospel of Philip declares: "Those who say that first they shall die and (then) they shall arise are confused. If they do not first receive the resurrection (while) they live, they will not receive anything (when) they die"( http://DivineManna.org ).

Early Church on Predestination: In the words of the third century Church Father Origen -- the man St. Gregory of Nyssa called “the prince of Christian learning in the Third Century”: “We have frequently shown”, writes Origen, “by those declarations which we were able to produce from the holy Scriptures, that God, the Creator of all things, is good, and just, and all-powerful… But since those rational creatures themselves, as we have frequently shown, and will yet show in the proper place, were endowed with the power of free-will, this freedom of will incited each one either to progress by imitation of God, or reduced him to failure through negligence… Now God, who deemed it just to arrange His creatures according to their merit, brought down these different understandings into the harmony of one world, that He might adorn, as it were, one dwelling, in which there ought to be not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay (and some indeed to honor, and others to dishonor), with those different vessels, or souls, or understandings. And these are the causes… why that world presents the aspect of diversity, while Divine Providence continues to regulate each individual according to the variety of his movements, or of his feelings and purpose. On which account the Creator will neither appear to be unjust in distributing (for the causes already mentioned) to every one according to his merits; nor will the happiness or unhappiness of each one's birth, or whatever be the condition that falls to his lot, be deemed accidental; nor will different creators, or souls of different natures, be believed to exist” (De Principiis, Bk 2 Ch 9).

What Origen is stating is that, in the beginning, each soul was created equal and the same, and their place in life is not the result of an accident, or the indiscriminate manifestation of God's Will in the form of Divine Providence -- but rather, each soul's lot in life is the result of the exercise of their own freewill, and consequently is arranged “according to their merit”.   This merit is not the result of some unknown condition -- but rather, is imposed upon each individual in accordance with what they have accomplished in their previous lives.

Origen then goes on to demonstrate this truth by using the very example which the Apostle Paul gave with regard to Esau and Jacob, and writes: “‘What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God?' And that he might furnish us with an opportunity of inquiring into these matters, and of ascertaining how these things do not happen without a reason, he answers himself, and says, 'God forbid.' For the same question, as it seems to me, which is raised concerning Jacob and Esau, may be raised regarding all celestial and terrestrial creatures, and even those of the lower world as well. And in like manner it seems to me, that as he there says, 'The children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil,' so it might also be said of all other things, 'When they were not yet' created, 'neither had yet done any good or evil, that the decree of God according to election may stand,' that (as certain think) some things on the one hand were created heavenly, some on the other earthly, and others, again, beneath the earth, 'not of works' (as they think), 'but of Him who calleth,' what shall we say then, if these things are so? 'Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.' As, therefore, when the Scriptures are carefully examined regarding Jacob and Esau, it is not found to be unrighteousness with God that it should be said, before they were born, or had done anything in this life, 'the elder shall serve the younger;' and as it is found not to be unrighteousness that even in the womb Jacob supplanted his brother, if we feel that he was worthily beloved by God, according to the deserts of his previous life, so as to deserve to be preferred before his brother”.

God did not hate Esau and love Jacob for no reason!   To even believe such a preposterous concept of Divine Wisdom is to affirm Peter's assertion that the Gentiles believe these absurdities because “their minds are accustomed to take in things spoken against God.   Respecting the Divine Order of Creation, Origen then continues referring to the Paul’s Epistle to the Romans and goes on to explain: “For God must be believed to do and order all things and at all times according to His judgment. For the words which the apostle uses when he says, ‘In a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and of earth, and some to honor and some to dishonor;' and those which he adds, saying, 'If a man purge himself, he will be a vessel unto honor, sanctified and meet for the Master's use, unto every good work,' undoubtedly point out this, that he who shall purge himself when he is in this life, will be prepared for every good work in that which is to come; while he who does not purge himself will be, according to the amount of his impurity, a vessel unto dishonor, i.e., unworthy. It is therefore possible to understand that there have been also formerly rational vessels, whether purged or not, i.e., which either purged themselves or did not do so, and that consequently every vessel, according to the measure of its purity or impurity, received a place, or region, or condition by birth, or an office to discharge, in this world. All of which, down to the humblest, God providing for and distinguishing by the power of His wisdom, arranges all things by His controlling judgment, according to a most impartial retribution, so far as each one ought to be assisted or cared for in conformity with his deserts. In which certainly every principle of equity is shown, while the inequality of circumstances preserves the justice of a retribution according to merit. But the grounds of the merits in each individual case are only recognized truly and clearly by God Himself, along with His only-begotten Word, and His Wisdom, and the Holy Spirit”.

Origen again demonstrates that our lot in life is the result of our own deserts, and writes: “For God the Creator makes a certain vessel unto honor, and other vessels to dishonor; but that vessel which has cleansed itself from all impurity He makes a vessel unto honor, while that which has stained itself with the filth of vice He makes a vessel unto dishonor. The conclusion from which, accordingly, is this, that the cause of each one's actions is a pre-existing one; and then every one, according to his deserts, is made by God either a vessel unto honor or dishonor. Therefore every individual vessel has furnished to its Creator out of itself the causes and occasions of its being formed by Him to be either a vessel unto honor or one unto dishonor. And if the assertion appear correct, as it certainly is, and in harmony with all piety, that it is due to previous causes that every vessel be prepared by God either to honor or to dishonor, it does not appear absurd that, in discussing remoter causes in the same order, and in the same method, we should come to the same conclusion respecting the nature of souls, and (believe) that this was the reason why Jacob was beloved before he was born into this world, and Esau hated, while he still was contained in the womb of his mother”.

Why Does Knowledge Of The Laws Matter?

Jesus not only taught that the life that everyone is living has been predestined from before they were even born, but that one's failure to embrace and abide by the Higher Law of Creator-God, will bring about a type of imprisonment -- an  imprisonment that is portrayed as the "outer darkness" of mind and being below.  Thus the oft ignored warning: “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows” (Gal 6:7 NIV).   In speaking of this prison of the "outer darkness", Jesus warned that “Thou shalt by no means come out from there, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing” (Mat 5:26).   Which provokes the question: Come out from where?   And how must one's debts be repaid?   And while the reality of both The Prison and the "outer darkness" was understood by the early Ebionite Nazirene disciples of Jesus (see Ebionite), and the early Gentile Christians (see The Secret Doctrine), this higher understanding of the journey of the pre-existent soul and the interaction with the Laws which not only imprisons, but also blinds and inhibits one from perceiving and acquiring the higher knowledge of the Gospel teachings, was declared heresy by the Emperor Justinian because his circus prostitute wife rejected these important teachings of the Church (see The Ten Reasons Why The Church Rejected The Doctrine Of The Pre-Existent Soul).    And many of the biblical teachings which supported these teachings, had previously been removed to make the scriptures support the pagan doctrines of Rome (see http://BibleCorruption.com ).  

The Parable Of The Talents: Even in what remains in the corrupted scriptures, it can still be seen that Jesus taught that each person is born into this life in accord with their own past accomplishments.   "And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability" (Matt 25:15 NKJ).   The key concept here is that each person in this world is not only entrusted with a different amount, but that each person is entrusted with an amount "...each according to his own ability."   What this means is that each and every person was born into this life, exactly as ordained for them in accord with their own past accomplishments (see The Conditions Of Birth, Life and Death), and those who find fault with their lot in life, are in reality judging themselves (see a more in-depth presentation on the parable of the talents at Christian Blindness To The Scriptures).  

It is interesting to note that the most popular and used scripture of the earliest Gentile Christians was the Shepherd of Hermas (see Shepherd Intro), which was later suppressed by the Church of Rome because it was unacceptable from a pagan mindset and lifestyle.   And in addition to revealing the threefold nature of the scriptures (see Threefold), the understanding of caring for the poor, the widows and orphans, that is not at all understood today, is presented in this important writing (see Widows).  

The proper mindset with respect to the Laws, is expressed throughout the scriptures.   The Ten Commandments thus state: "You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's" (Exod 20:17 NKJ).   Why?   Because each man's life is the direct result of their own previous actions and accomplishments -- and that they fail to remember these pre-existent actions, is because they dwell in the "outer darkness".    And this is further confirmed in the Shepherd of Hermas which commands: "The expenditure of the heathen then practice not ye; for it is not convenient for you the servants of God.  But practice your own expenditure, in which ye can rejoice; and do not corrupt, neither touch that which is another man's, nor lust after it; for it is wicked to lust after other men's possessions."

By virtue of the Laws that orchestrated and dictated every part of the life that every man, woman and child is presently living, every person is at their present station in life, by virtue of the road they personally traveled to get there.   The conditions of your birth, as well as the life you are living, has been brought about, orchestrated, and maintained, by the Laws of God -- Laws that insure that each and every "...man reaps what he sows” (Gal 6:7 NIV).

And everything that exists, not only exists for a higher reason -- but has been brought about and is the direct result of pre-existing causal reasons, which have become manifest in order to bring about a preordained result.    When you desire or lust after what the Laws of God has provided for your neighbor, or any other group of people, then you not only reject the Hand of God that provided in accord with your own needs, but you have sinned against God because you reject His Wisdom in what was provided for others. 

The Chickens Come Home To Roost!

As portrayed in the above presentation of The Laws That Perfect Mankind, the term "the chickens come home to roost", like the saying "what goes around comes around", is merely an acknowledgement of the workings of these Laws.   The problem is that while many religious and political leaders use these statements, when directly confronted they are all in denial of the reality that is being presented in virtually all of the scriptures that man uses as the foundation of his beliefs.   

Malcolm X used the phrase of the chickens coming home to roost in response to the assassination of Pres. John Kennedy.    When the assassination of John F. Kennedy horrified a nation, Black Muslim leader Malcolm X declared that it was payback for America’s violence in the world, a case of “chickens coming home to roost.”   Thus he explained: “Being an old farm boy myself,” said Malcolm, “chickens coming home to roost never did make me sad, they’ve always made me glad.”

While Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson did not explicitly use this phrase, the meaning was the same when they attempted to portray the disaster of 9-11 as being caused by the sin of the American people in their rejection of the Laws of God as presented in the Bible.   Because Pat Robertson has embraced the doctrines of Pagan Rome (see The Christian Judas), Robertson was forced to eventually deny the biblical teachings of Jesus, and apologize because of his own spiritual ignorance which inhibited him from explaining what both the Bible and Jesus directly taught.   Robertson, as with most Evangelical Christians, are forced to deny what the Gospels state with respect to the important teachings on preordination and predestination, because of the great void in understanding which was brought about when the teachings on the journey of the soul was removed from the Gospels by the Church of Rome (see The Ten Reasons Why Christians Reject The Teaching On The Pre-existent Soul).   Thus, the removal of these important teachings on the interaction of Laws with each and every individual man, woman and child, created a great void in the dogmatic positions of the Church which they have attempted unsuccessfully to fill with manmade dogma that make little real sense to men of rational intelligence.   More recently, this same acknowledgement of the Laws in the lives of mankind has been acknowledge by and demonstrated by the person who then Sen. Barack Obama portrayed as his spiritual mentor, when Jeremiah Wright used this phrase to present the argument that God is punishing (white) Americans, because of their past where they enslaved the black race.   But, because of Jeremiah Wright's own ignorance of the workings of the Laws, his own dogmatic positions is just as gravely flawed as was Pat Robertson's.  

While the statement with respect to the chickens coming home to roost is true, because the religious leaders who have attempted to use this biblical expression of the Laws, are themselves all ignorant of the Movement of the Laws of God in the life of mankind, they have been unable to explain exactly how and why the chickens do come home to roost -- and perhaps more important, to whom they come home to roost.   On September 11^th, 2001, the very liberal New York City and the very liberal people in the United States was brought into the presence of reality, and was mugged by Islamic terrorists who believed they were doing good by striking a blow against The Great Satan.   What the left leaning liberal Bill Clinton, and the right leaning Jerry Falwell each prophesized, was that the United States had angered God.   Falwell and Clinton had each suggested that the September 11^th attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon was the result of debts that were owed by the American people.   While Bill Clinton in his speech at Georgetown University did not out right attribute the devastation at the hands of Islamic terrorists directly to the Will of God, as did Falwell, there can be no other reasonable explanation.

Interestingly, when Jerry Falwell proclaimed that the cause of the World Trade Center disaster was due to God’s anger over the immorality and ungodliness that has overcome the Nation as it continues its downward spiral into what has been portrayed as the decadence of Sodom and Gomorrah, the liberal leaning media was aghast that he would make such a statement.   People were appalled that Jerry Falwell, and then Pat Robertson, could even suggest that God had brought judgment upon the American people in the manner of the biblical portrayal of Sodom and Gomorrah.   Yet, as typical of liberals, very little protest was raised by the left leaning media when Bill Clinton warned that we were suffering the consequences of a nation that was both founded on slaves, and the alleged act of disposing and killing native Americans in order to get their land.   Regardless of the fact that we don’t like the message that both have expressed for very different reasons, there is an element of truth to what they are saying.      Yet, because neither understood the Laws -- or the biblical assertion that all events that take place in this world is orchestrated directly by God -- the assertion that God was bringing judgment upon the United States could not in any manner be explained by those who were preaching this retributive prophesy of God at work in the lives of all Americans.

In much the same manner, many of the mainstream Reform and Conservative Jews were angered when Rabbi Ovadia Yosefan, the former chief rabbi of Israel -- a religious scholar who was also the spiritual leader of the Shas party -- made the statement that no innocent Jews died in the Holocaust.  What Rabbi Yosefan said was that the 6 million Holocaust victims "were reincarnations of the souls of sinners, people who transgressed and did all sorts of things that should not be done.”   Rabbi Yosefan explained that these souls who had previously lived lives of sin, “…had been reincarnated in order to atone.”   Immediately, all sectors of the population -- from then Prime Minister Barak, to the Holocaust survivors -- condemned the rabbi's remarks.   In a communiqué issued from his office, Barak stated: “His words are liable to harm the memory of those who perished in the Holocaust and are liable to hurt the feelings of their families and the feelings of the entire nation.”

Legislator Yosef (Tommy) Lapid, who had been himself a Holocaust survivor who at that time headed the secularist Shinui party, condemned Rabbi Yosef’s statements and said he was “… in effect confirming what Hitler said, that the Jews are sinners.”    Holocaust organizations and the two main Israeli radio stations reported that they were inundated with phone calls and fax messages, most of them criticizing Yosef's statement.   The Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Museum labeled Yosef's remarks “miserable” and said they “seriously harm the memory of the victims.”    In a released statement the museum said: “With all due respect to such a leader, it's hard to understand where Rabbi Yosef gets the courage to explain the intentions and ways of the supreme authority.”    Attempting to clarify his words in the following week to a populace that did not comprehend one of the most paramount teachings of both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, Rabbi Yosef cited a 16th century Jewish mystic, Isaac Luria, who wrote: “If the soul was not purified entirely the first time, and it left this world, that soul must come back in a reincarnation, even a few times, until it is entirely purified.”

What Rabbi Yosef stated was that all those Jews who died at the hands of Hitler, were merely reaping their own debts they had themselves committed in a previous life!    And while the secular Jewish leaders were offended by his statement, Rabbi Yosef did not state that they were Jews when they committed the sins that invoked the Laws of Cause and Effect upon them.   But like Jeremiah Wright, most Jews imagine that their souls are Jewish, and they totally fail to understand both the scriptures, and the movement of the Laws in the lives of mankind.   From the perspective of the Laws that pseudo-authorities are in denial of, the scriptures state: “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows” (Gal 6:7 NIV).   And this could just as well be expressed in the words: The chickens of those people who suffered under Hitler, had come home to roost -- and in that life they inherited the fruit of their own past actions.  

What the Rabbi suggested was that, even though we may appear to be the innocent victim in this present life, this was not always the case -- and each of us inherits both the good and the evil that we have personally and collectively engendered in the previous existences our soul has lived prior to our being born into the present life we are now living -- as so clearly stated in the words of the Church Father Origen when he wrote: “Every soul... comes into this world strengthened by the victories or weakened by the defeats of its previous life” (Origen, De Principiis).   

Thus, the common message that Jerry Falwell, Bill Clinton, Pat Robertson, Jeremiah Wright and the Rabbi Yosef all proclaimed, was the conformation of the great biblically defined truth that what goes around comes around: “Even as I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same” (Job 4:8 NKJ); “Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, and be filled to the full with their own fancies” (Prov 1:31 NKJ); “But you have planted wickedness, you have reaped evil, you have eaten the fruit of deception” (Hosea 10:13 NIV); “God will give to each person according to what he has done” (Rom 2:6 NIV); “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life” (Gal 6:7-8 NIV); “If anyone has an ear, let him hear. He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints” (Rev 13:9-10 NKJ); “Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man” (Gen 9:6 NIV); “His disciples asked him [Jesus], Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” (Jn 9:2 NIV).   Yet, because certain New Testament teachings were removed by the Pagan Church of Rome, modern Christians are at a total loss when they attempt to explain how the Laws work in the life of man -- and even the very reason why bad things seemingly happed to good people -- or why a benevolent God ordains the good and evil that man is incapable of understanding.

As Romanized Pagan Christians, while Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson did not believe in the pre-existence of the soul -- and we are not quite sure exactly what Bill Clinton believes in -- we can easily see that the position of Rabbi Yosef was not only biblically based, but is very much in accord with the original teachings of the New Covenant.   In the 69^th chapter of the Gospel of the Nazirenes (see Gospel), Jesus is asked: “Master, if a man die, shall he live again?”   While every Christian will agree with the reply of Jesus in the words: “I am the resurrection and the life, I am the good, the beautiful, the true; if a man believe in me he shall not die, but live eternally,” where modern believers depart from the original teachings of TheWay is seen in the biblical interpretation of what it means to believe in the Lord, and what is required in order to live eternally.   Of those who believe, Jesus said: “As in Adam all die, so in the Christ shall all be made alive. Blessed are the dead who die in me, and are made perfect in my image and likeness, for they rest from their labors and their works do follow them. They have overcome evil, and are made pillars in the temple of my God, and they go out no more, for they rest in the eternal.”   While modern Christians will readily accept the idea that they will be made perfect in the image and likeness of Christ, the problem is seen in the words that they will “…go out no more”.

While the late Jerry Falwell and Bill Clinton would agree that man will be judged and owe a debt for his evil, only Rabbi Yosef correctly predicted the means and process by which the Most High God employs to correct the evilness and debts of mankind, as seen in the very next warning of Jesus: “For them that persist in evil there is no rest, but they go out and in, and suffer correction for ages, till they are made perfect. But for them that have done good and attained to perfection, there is endless rest and they go into life everlasting. They rest in the eternal. Over them the repeated death and birth have no power, for them the wheel of the eternal revolves no more, for they have attained to the center, where is eternal rest, and the center of all things is God.”   

If these words are true, and there is no rest for those who persist in doing evil because they are forced back into life in this world where they “…go out and in, and suffer correction for ages, till they are made perfect,” then we must pose the question as to how we will recognize these souls when they re-enter this life?   For the most part we can’t -- and they will appear to us as innocent men, women and children, unless we ourselves possess the spiritual eyes to see their more distant past that was beyond their entrance into this present life.   Thus, we can see the words of wisdom when Rabbi Yosefan said of the Jews who died in the Holocaust that they "were reincarnations of the souls of sinners, people who transgressed and did all sorts of things that should not be done.”   How different modern Christians perceive the message of what the scriptures convey today, is easily demonstrated by using our very own Bibles. When Jesus said to the chief priests and the elders that the “…tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you” (Matt 21:31 RSV), such a statement simply has no place within the present day understanding of Christian doctrine.  And because the void in the understanding of the Church is without a means to explain Jesus' words, most Bible commentaries simply ignore the implications of this passage of scripture.  One widely used commentary attempts to correct the text by changing the words to “instead of” -- which would then make the meaning doctrinally correct and read: “The tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God instead of you”.  In this verse of scripture we are presented with one of the core reasons why the original followers of Jesus believed very differently, than most Christians today.  The question that must be posed is: When will the chief priests and elders enter into the kingdom? Modern Christian doctrine states that because of their disbelief and rejection of Jesus, they will be cut off from the face of God, and condemned to eternal judgment.   After all, the Christian dogmatic position is that unless they accept Jesus as God, they cannot inherit the Kingdom.   And yet, in total opposition to what the modern Church preaches, we cannot deny the fact that Jesus' own words convey the message that there will come a time when the chief priests and elders will also enter the Kingdom of God -- and it will be at a time after the tax collectors and harlots who believed, repented, and followed the Messiah/Christ in TheWay.

What this means is that those who suffered in the Holocaust came into that life to pay back a debt that was incurred in a previous life, and what Rabbi Yosefan was merely acknowledging was the very clearly defined doctrine that everything in life is predestined -- as demonstrated in Jesus' own words when he said: “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's will” (Matt 10:29 RSV).   If, as Jesus taught, a sparrow cannot fall to the ground apart and without the Will of the Father, then we have no other option than to come to terms with the biblical fact that everything in this life is directly orchestrated by God?   On this verse the Adam Clark Commentary states: “The providence of God extends to the minutest things; everything is continually under the government and care of God, and nothing occurs without his will or permission”. Perhaps even more enlightening is the biblically based explanation provided to us under the heading of Providence in the Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary where it is explained that: “Divine government is the continued activity of God by which He directs all things to the ends He has chosen in His eternal plan… He governs insignificant things (Matt. 10:29-31), apparent accidents (Prov. 16:33), as well as man's good (Phil. 2:13) and evil deeds (Acts 14:16). God acts in accordance with the laws and principles that He has established in the world. The laws of nature are nothing more than man's description of how we perceive God at work in the world. They neither have inherent power nor do they work by themselves. Man is not free to choose and act independently from God's will and plan; he chooses and acts in accordance with them. In His sovereignty, God controls man's choices and actions (Gen. 45:5; Deut. 8:18; Prov. 21:1). God's actions, however, do not violate the reality of human choice or negate man's responsibility as a moral being”.

What is truly important for us to begin to comprehend in these words is the profound statement which truly conveys the reality of life in the words that “God acts in accordance with the laws and principles that He has established in the world. The laws of nature are nothing more than man's description of how we perceive God at work in the world. They neither have inherent power nor do they work by themselves.”  

What does this mean to us?   If it is true that not one sparrow can “…fall to the ground without your Father's will” (Matt 10:29 RSV), then Jerry Falwell and Bill Clinton would be correct in their assertion that the United States owes a debt, and the terrorists attacks on the United States were not only known beforehand, but were actually permitted by the “…laws and principles that He [God] has established in the world.”   Moreover, what this means is that those who appear to be innocent victims, actually entered into this life knowing (beforehand) that they would be required to repay a debt for their own past actions in a previous life.   And this is the very reality portrayed above by the Church Father Origen when he explained: "...that the cause of each one's actions is a pre-existing one; and then every one, according to his deserts, is made by God either a vessel unto honor or dishonor. Therefore every individual vessel has furnished to its Creator out of itself the causes and occasions of its being formed by Him to be either a vessel unto honor or one unto dishonor.

 "He who does not remember history is condemned to repeat it" (Georges Santayana).   Unbeknown to the majority of people, because the very same souls from the past are here in the present -- continuing to wage the same conflicts that immersed mankind in ignorance and violence in the past -- the people themselves submit to the shackles of almost perpetual enslavement -- from life, to life, to life -- until the person breaks the shackles of enslavement.   Einstein's definition of insanity was when a person does the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.   While I would not dispute with Einstein on this very insightful definition, the Laws that control the events of this world often initiate soul-growth, by forcing each soul to switch the polarity of the side they are on from life to life.    Using the example of the Jews: The Jews of the past can very well be the Palestinians of today, and vice versa.    In the reversal of polarities, that would make the communists of the past, the capitalists of the present.   The misogynists of the past, the Feminists of today.    The homosexual activists of the present, those who persecuted the homosexuals in the past.   In many instances the Law is that a person or group becomes what they judged and persecuted in the past.   And since most souls develop in groups, whole groups of souls incarnate in lifetimes where they become the other side of the equations.    And what this also means is that because of the greatly expanded population of the earth in this timeframe, such souls as Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Mussolini, Mao Tse-tung, Napoleon, and all the other would be despot conquers are presently on the world's stage as political, religious and philosophical leaders -- along with their followers.   Thus, the reality of the words: “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows” (Gal 6:7-8 NIV) -- which of course means that not only does each man's own actions come back upon him, but so does this same Law apply to a group.   

When Nikita Khrushchev declared that he will bury those who opposed the Soviet Union, there is nothing to say that he would be a communist when this reality came back upon him and his supporters.   When one of those who personified Mohammed declared that it was permissible to execute those who surrendered, instead of wasting resources maintaining them alive as captives, such depravity may very well come back upon these souls at a time when they are no longer Muslims -- and in the reversal of polarities, those who were executed by Mohammed and the Muslims, will themselves be Muslims.     When Mao Zedong brought about social change that extinguished the lives of tens of millions of people, him and his supporters incurred a debt that had to be repaid under the Laws of action and reaction.    The problem is that while man's religious and political leaders will openly make reference to the Law in the words, what goes around, comes around -- the chickens come home to roost -- and each person (and group) reaps what they have themselves sown -- in not understanding the reality of how the Laws bring these words to fruition in the lives of mankind, it is often these very same leaders who lead their followers to the slaughter.  

While he does not understand it with respect to thinking and its effects from the perspective of the Laws, Barack Obama has openly stated that he believes in "collective salvation" -- which is typical of those on the left -- versus individual salvation which is the teachings of the Gospel accounts.   Under the heading of Collective Salvation the encyclopedia states: "Collective salvation is a quasi-contract religious concept that is the antithesis of individual or personal salvation. It is a mandate of social justice which projects rights not normally given by the laws of a country or state. Its premises are based on dialogue, not accepted doctrine. It supports the perpetual Marxist class struggle for the self-claimed “divine” purpose of a socialist nirvana under the concept of progressive millennialism."   Collective Salvation is not only the antithesis of not only the Constitutional framework of the United States, but would of course be understood in reverse of the words of Jesus when he declared: "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it" (Matt 7:13-14 NKJ).   From the perspective of Marxist Collective Salvation and Social Justice, the narrow way which the individual must seek out, simply does not exist -- and only the salvation of those who travel the broad way matters.  And as the leader of groups out of man's more distant past, those who look to and follow leaders such as Obama, inherit the same fate that his leadership has brought upon himself, and the followers of his karmic group.  

What is being set before the American people is their willingness and desire to preserve the reality of each man being imbued with God-Given UnAlienable Rights.   @@@HERE   

When Rabbi Ovadia Yosefan, the former chief rabbi of Israel made the statement that no innocent Jews died in the Holocaust as explored above, this was because the 6 million Holocaust victims "were reincarnations of the souls of sinners, people who transgressed and did all sorts of things that should not be done.”   Rabbi Yosefan explained that these souls who had previously lived lives of sin, “…had been reincarnated in order to atone” (see Chickens Come Home To Roost).    Thus we see that a large group of souls which had in their more distant past victimized others with their evil, returned back as a group to reap the evil that they had, as a group, sown and perpetuated upon others -- many of who were the very Germans who were following Hitler.   And at this same link we can see that many African-Americans were in fact the slave owners and their supporters in the past, and this is also true of all groups.

The Trinity Of Ignorance

The Trinity of Ignorance is religious ignorance -- philosophical ignorance that is taught in our schools -- and Cultural Ignorance that is embraced by our society -- and it is this Trinity of Ignorance that Alienates mankind from the Knowledge and Reality of his True Self.   In the Gospel of Thomas Jesus declares: "But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty... Whoever finds himself is superior to the world".   Thus, the teachings of Jesus are not faith-based religion as the Church has attempted to portray them -- but rather, the Knowledge of Self that frees the people from the ignorance of faith-based ritualized religion and the worship of the counterfeit god of the Jews -- which was later adopted by Christians when they embraced the Pagan god of the Roman Emperor Constantine.   Thus, the teachings of Jesus known as TheWay, have nothing to do with faith-based religion and institutionalized Churches.  

In the same way that Jesus opposed the ignorance of the Pharisees and Sadducees, the people at the time of the Buddha embraced the same Hinduism that has been adopted by the New Age today.   In rejecting the Paganism and the worship of many gods, the Buddha sought to find the essence of his True Self.    And having found it, he taught the people how to release themselves from the shackles of religious ignorance that constrained them.   The Buddha taught that man is in a stupor -- hypnotized by the illusion of this world -- and knows not his true self.   And just like the teachings of Jesus, within a short time the wisdom of the Buddha was quickly corrupted, and priests converted Buddhist wisdom into ritualized religious ignorance where a class of priests could peddle gods among the spiritually disenfranchised people.

Socrates was a philosopher who taught that all mysteries and realities of man's mind and being could be revealed through critical reasoning and a dauntless pursuit of Truth.   In coming to the realization that all genuine knowledge, was self-knowledge, the pursuit of man's ignorance revealed the same truth that was discovered by the Buddha, and later the teachings of Jesus.   The Buddha taught that man was hypnotized by illusion -- Jesus taught that man was imprisoned in what he portrayed as the "far country... outer darkness" of carnal consciousness that caused him to be blind to his own self and higher reality -- Plato, the disciple of Socrates, taught that man is a prisoner in a lesser state of mind and being in what he portrayed in the above Dialogue of Plato's Cave.   In the same way that man corrupted the teachings of Jesus and the Buddha, so too have our systems of modern education failed to comprehend that man is ignorant, because he is ignorant of his true self -- and the philosophers who teach in our schools will continue to alienate the children and the people from not only genuine Knowledge -- but more importantly, the Knowledge of Self -- so long as they continue to ignore the wisdom of Plato's Cave.   Once rightly understood, there is very little difference between the blind faith of man's religious institutions, as the blind faith of man's secular educational institutions.

Our present-day hedonist culture is the bastardized offspring of the disenfranchised religions and philosophies of mankind -- which the three together comprise the Trinity of Ignorance.      Until both the religious leaders and philosophical teachers who direct our culture come to terms with the reason why mankind is ignorant, he can never obtain the elusive enlightenment that he seeks.

Why Does This Matter?

The Framers of the US Constitution who were Deists and Masons, understood the necessity of permitting neither the sectarian-philosophers of the churches, or the secular-philosophers of our universities and cultural elite, from dictating and disenfranchising the thinking of the people.   Both Jesus and the Buddha came to free man from traditional religious constraint -- as did Plato attempt to free the rational thinker from the limitations of the quasi-intellectual who lacked the necessary depth and understanding of self to perceive man's own true self and higher reality.      Yet, because we have failed to learn the lessons of history, we have permitted the Trinity of Ignorance to alienate the enslaved people from the wisdom that would bring about their escape from the shackles of mind and being of the "far country... cave of illusion" of this realm which both Jesus and the Buddha called the "outer darkness" of consciousness.
