Law Itself Part Two
There is simply nature and the rules that men make, nothing else.
Nature is simply the way things really are, despite the limitation of perception
In nature, men do things that effect nature, a little or a lot. Nature is affected by many things and we are one of the things.
Men must have rules. Theoretically, if men did not have rules, they would disintegrate and be consumed by nature. The question is, how are the rules implemented. Where do they come from. Rules are just orderly decisions and decisions are what we are all about. "All we really have is our bodies and our decisions"
The fundamental question of rules is, does implementing or acting on the rules cause harm or not. That is the basic supposition of all. The simple key, the big hidden mystery, is this: If harm is caused, it is harming nature. If nature is not harmed, it will be helped. If you have harmed another, you have harmed nature. If you have truly helped another, you have blessed nature. If you have somehow helped nature, you have helped all. Yes, this is the big secret and it is that simple.
So how should rules proceed? Again, very simple.
Men must make rules according to their inner nature. If they do not, nature is violated. Men must make rules for themselves, each and every one. Only the individual can access his own inner nature. Only the individual is qualified to make rules for himself. Any condition of government that exists in violation of this condition is a violation of nature and constitutes a harm.
When two or more individuals, in association, extend and confirm the rules they have made for themselves, then the moral civil code is created. It does not violate the individual. It does not violate the collective. It is orderly and precise. Most importantly, it does not violate nature, it harms nothing, it helps all.
It is self-evident that this can exist. It is the only possible basis of morality. It is the only condition of correct government possible. It, in fact, is God Himself amongst us. When we achieve it, nature, god, all that exists becomes an open ticket. When we do not, dissimulation is inevitable and that is what's going on now.
God has never forced man to obey any rules. God has never given any rules to men but what they came of it themselves, he merely confirmed what they chose accordingly to what He willed, and he only willed that which would help nature here and now. God has never required, judged, punished, any. The dissimulation has always been according to our own choice, or failure to make choice. It is the self evident, self maintaining, self operative principle of all, of all that nature is and then extended to us.
When we again choose according to our own inner nature, the dissimulation will cease and that is all that God ever was or could be, for us. In the mean time who will really measure any of this?

Law Itself Part One
What is law, I've been studying the meaning of the word again....
There is something called natural law, we can distinguish that from the rules men make. Always and forever there are just those two things of law. The way everything really is, and then a set of rules.
The rules are made by decisions of men, and whose minds really create the thought and action that results in the rules institutionalization is the thing to be seen. That is the connection with natural law. Then how all think and act accordingly. That is the other thing to be seen.
What motivated men to make the rules? Love of truth, order beauty. Conformity to ideas, concepts, philosophies etc. Obedience to some other mind. Just a simple desire to get others to conform, maybe with theft and avarice in mind.
What role did the people who are subjected to the rules play in the process?
Who is making the rules for you? What role do you play in the process? How aware are you those who make, adjudicate, and enforce the rules.
Whose mind are you subject to?
Deprivation of life, liberty, and property, through due process of law, rules that are created by men, adjudicated by men, and enforced by men, are perhaps, besides nature itself, the largest force of mind that affects our lives.
There never has been anything but nature. We make decisions in nature. Others make decisions in nature. What we think and then do affects nature, but not very much. What many others do affects nature far more.
How shall we live on this earth well when the rules violate the harmony of nature, violate us, our own inner nature, and then harm life itself.
We must learn again to choose rules in harmony with life, nature, and if you will, with God. Then all of these things will come to us with their abundance, and our law, will then again be the law of God.

Sexual Abuse
A couple of days ago I found out that my seven year old daughter had been sexually molested. A thirteen year old boy put his finger up her vagina and cause her to bleed. I allowed the son of my work lady to bring her children over. She failed to protect them.
My determination had been deep to protect my children, my daughter. Still this occurs. It is occurring so much in society. Why is this so? My first wife was sexually abused by her own grandfather, and others
My second wife was sexually abused
My third wife was sexually abused
My fourth wife was sexually abuse by her own brothers
My daughters have all been sexually abused.
My last girl friend was sexually abused by her own father.
Why is this so? I hear reports of this disease lots. It is a rampant sickness in our society.
Is it because the justice and judgment system has broken down?
Is it because government has broken down the power of the community and family?
Is it because we live in a lawless society?
My soul is pained at the emotional damage done. I have reported the matter to the cheif of police and the mayor. I have filed a report with the police.
I do not believe much will or can be done. The solutions lie on a deeper level. We no longer have power to deal with it as family and local society. We turn to the government. It is their policy and practice that lies at the root of the problem. They will not solve it. Neither will the professionals.
How shall we return to a society that is safe for women and children? When will we?

What Freedom of Religion?
What freedom of religion? What are all these blase, and meaningless words about freedom of religion. Just where is this freedom of religion. Mine does not exist.
All efforts to live as I truly believe have a been thwarted by and through a contorted system of rules, regulations and legal plunder. No, freedom of religion does not exist on this planet. It is ghost of the past, a spectre that haunts the recesses of my soul always, and surely the souls of all who have yet a spark of that love of liberty that once flamed within the souls of our ancestors. Then what of all this talk of freedom of religion? Where is this thing they speak of? What have I missed?
Is it that I may think and believe what I want? Since when is belief much important without external manifestation?
Is it that I may attend a church of my choice? If so, then where went the church of my choice?
If our wealth is plundered by the state for it own irreligious purposes, we have no freedom of religion!
If we are prevented from gathering of the land and living as we choose, we have no freedom of religion!
If we are prevented from engaging in healing practices according to our own convictions, we have no freedom of religion!
If our children are forced to attend a public school and indoctrinated in teachings contrary to our own convictions, we have not freedom of religion.
The etymology of the word religion is the same as the word legal. It is in fact the civil law that is the foundation of religion.
We have no freedom of religion left in the US, as with most other places. We are subject to a state religion that is antithetical to any true religion.
How I think, yes. Then how I put that thinking into practice,yes. That is part of my religion. Philosophical beliefs are nice but what I say and do, and the freedom to do it, and the opportunity to use the fruits of my labor accordingly, and a safe place to do it, this is the substance of my religion.
A few generations ago, freedom of religion was also liberty in law. Freedom of conscience implied the practice that required that liberty. Now the meanings have been changed to accommodate the lie.
"Freedom of belief" is a phrase as empty and meaningless as is the government and society that pretend something that no longer exists.
But the books and media say it is so.
And the people believe it.
And the true religion is lost.

A Different Thanksgiving
Today is Thanksgiving holiday. It was a good day. Though I miss being with more of the family, I was, never-the-less edified for the day, and grateful. We had Mary, the work lady, and her family for dinner she and Jordana cooked it. For this I am grateful, that my family will not look down on the Mexican people. I noticed today that my children treat the hired lady and her children as equals. The local tradition is otherwise. The rich treat the poor with too much indifference.
Mary is the mother of a family in poverty. I hired her out of the fields, picking peppers for ten or fifteen dollars a day. I pay her twenty five dollars for a six hour day. I provide her and her children with meals and other necessities. Her husband abandoned her and her children. She lives in a small house with one bedroom. She is honest and hard working. She is more honest than the rich who steal from the poor. She comes six days a week and makes my home life better than it has ever been. She nurtures and cares well for my children. Since there is not mother in the home, this is greatly appreciated. Now this is value as I have seldom seem. Though I can hardly feel fully comfortable knowing I live better then her and countless others around her, this is how live is in a country with much poverty. It is a stretch to hire and help her.
Jordana, my daughter, actually associates more with the Mexican’s then the white folks that are related. She loves and is loved by them. She need not put on airs, she can be herself, she can be real.
I see order and harmony growing around me and life is growing in many respects. Thank God for the sense and importance of equality I have found in life. A warm and peaceful glow was all about in the home and family today. This was a good Thanksgiving. I miss my family and relatives now far away but something magical filled the gap quite well this day.

Normal and Abnormal
What are normal and abnormal behaviors, how are they determined.
The prevalent idea today seems to be that normal is a fluctuating standard determined somehow by society. This is of course mindless. The perusal of writings on psychology and social philosophy will leave little or no tangible idea on what constitutes abnormal behavior. The determination of normality is obviously an aspect of reality lost in obscurity. Yet it is simple enough.
Who and what determines what is normal?
In the mushy, non-definitive present society, what is really determining normality? The answer is definitively this: the civil law. Not social philosophy, not religious societies, not any form of media. These indeed convey and assist the process but are all instruments of the civil law. It will always be so. That law which will deprive a man of life, liberty, and property is the foundation of all institutions of society. They who control the civil law are they who direct the creation of what is considered normal. Fear is the primary operative. Once men act and decide in such a manner to assuage fear, in the placid-ness achieved, all other decisions follow.
Think what you will. Think that you are a thinker. Think yourself a non-conformist. In all of this, you are just pissing in the wind. You will never escape the influence of the society within which you exist. Society is fundamentally created through the power of the civil law which directs its course.
Men create normality through standards derived in relationship to the civil law.
Is it possible to find and determine a certainty of right and wrong? Is is all just relative? The answer is that men can create a reality that is absolutely right. Normality can be definitively and absolutely established.
The first and clearest thing to be understood is that all things exist only in nature. Not the nature defined by modern science. Not the nature accessed through the five senses. This is about a nature of substance only partially accessible by man. This question determining normality, as with other aspects of reality, all hinge on how well men can access the unseen world of nature. The validity of all is directly connected to the ability men have, individually and collectively, to proceed according to what really is.
When men find harmony with real nature, through their own decisions, they have found the only normality possible. Nature is precise, specific, tangible, and entirely real and accessible. The key to this entire matter lies in the fact that men today have removed themselves so far from nature, from what it really is, that they are no longer capable of reaching or creating a reality that is right or normal.
If men individually exist in harmony with nature, they are then capable of collectively, through convention, making decisions that do not violate life, not violating each other, and existing according to the deeper reality extended from universal, cosmic reality. They can proceed, within their own local reality, in respect to a larger scheme of things. As is, modern society has largely lost track of that larger reality, let alone act harmoniously with it.
When men gather and decide and act, not in violation of universal truth, normality is found, and in this way only.
Men agree on a body of decisions. They implement them through force. The deprivation of life liberty and property result if those agreements are violated. The is the civil law. Simply a set of agreements, enforceable through the power of the sword (guns now days). Can this be just and right?
If men violate nature, the results are certain. If men create a set of rules that prevent the violation of nature, or correct the violation so that harmony with nature can be restored, they have acted morally. This is the only morality possible.
Who has the right to decide. All men have the right, in and of themselves, to decide if they will conform to what nature really is, to access it, and then implement conditions, of their own free will and choice, to see to it that it is not violated. They may gather in convention and establish those rules. If men create rules that are not in harmony with nature, they are wrong. If men create rules in harmony with nature, they are right. From this, and this alone, is normality found. Unfortunately, few will even begin to know of this nature I speak of.
Have men ever gathered in convention and established rules that were in harmony with nature? According to records and historical evidence, men have variously created cultures, all in degrees, where this harmony has been more or less found.
Is it possible that society today is the greatest aberration men have created from the harmony of nature? Certainly that is likely. Men can not longer clearly establish what is normal or right. Society itself has become abnormal and hence cannot define normality.
Probably the most significant set of rules men have created to satisfy nature, as regards western society, is the Ten Commandments. What those Ten Commandments once meant, how they were implemented and extended to society in general, how men governed themselves according, all are left only and vaguely to the annals of history. Men proceed in nowise accordingly today.
Men lie, men steal, men covet etc. etc. Can we do better then the Ten Commandments?
It is a no-brainer to learn of history and realize that most any society that has ever existed on the face of the earth was more free from these violations of nature, reality, and appropriate law then does society today.
Whatever conceptualization of God that men have is not the prime important fact. The most important fact, always and forever, is that men, in and of themselves, first find harmony with what nature really is, then accordingly gather and non-coercively agree that in their association with each other, life will not be violated.
If men do this, it is far beyond a logical assumption that they will then find God, find peace and harmony, and exist in a divine relationship with all creation.
Likely every religion, philosophy, institution, likely every situation in society, is not right or normal. All have created exceptions to this condition of harmony with real nature. At the foundation of all of this is the common acquiescence to the denial of what violates life, reality and nature.
Anything that takes man to this course is normal. It is precise and measurable. It is entirely abnormal to not achieve it.
Until men find this harmony, and choose for it, nothing real or important happens. The most pervasive and imperious force that keeps men from it is the power men yield to create civil law. In the mean time, men will neither find God or harmony, until they come to terms what the civil law has become, their relationship to it, and what is to be done to correct the situation.
So keep pissing in the wind, your good intentions yield little.

Where went reality?
A live spent in confusion but now the lights begin to go on.
As a society we are endlessly attempting to find reality
where it does not exist.
We are trying to fix what will not be fixed.
We are try in to find God where He is not.
We are trying to find something that is not lost, we are.
We are struggling to figure out something that will find
no answer where and how we are processing.
We are amassing information but not facts that are needed.We are building but with no foundation.
There are schools of thought but no adequate course material.
We have deeply dichotomized to a right and left philosophical division. This condition of splitting is just that. The right and left are neither more correct nor less. They both are fractured extensions of the same root and stem with no remedy to heal their needed oneness.
We have become “pluralistic” because we cannot grasp meaning sufficient to contain the truth of all things into one coherent and connected system.
We swim in superficial verities mutually opposed because we cannot reach the deeper verity of what really is.
We are spiritually emaciated because our nourishment is
polluted long before we access the bounty always plentiful.
Those who live simple and close to the earth may find
reality, those who will not, never will.

In Harms Way
Quite lost, my life through, in the intricacies and verities of religion and philosophy, I see now the simple truth. My blindness has been my true struggle. It is all in all, through and though, to help each other, to not harm life, that returns all that is needed, wanted, and always far more. The great struggle is all of that, to learn what truly hurts life, and then conform to the tranquil grace that will unceasingly bring all that my languishing soul could ever contain.
We are caught in the grasp in a sick and damaged culture quite dominated by the sickest minds that man can create. The harm that they do is the greatest of all, beyond the perception of what most can conceive. Unwittingly we conform, or perhaps too informed, to the edicts that proceed from these demented and dying souls. It is our own acquiescence to that which is wrong that gave them their power and now we are trapped.
A life of commitment to help and to give, to stop what is sick and that which is wrong is the only chance to escape the death strangling clutch of the rich and insane. They control all the wealth and create the laws that keep us in chains and too close to the hell that they themselves have contained.
When we see what they do, what they are, how they live, we need neither lust after nor hate what they seem to have. They are shallow and weak, their strength is our stolen gift, They have plundered and gained, through fraud and deceit. It is easy to despise them but such is a waste. They have created a hell, that will reap its reward. Eternally chained to the price of their theft, their moment is short, and not worth a shit.
When we learn how to treat all that pass by our way, and deeply respect, those that love and give life, then the power we need, to escape their false clutch, will quickly release and allow what is real. Then all that there is, all that can be, all that once was, will suddenly emerge. No power on earth, in heaven or hell, can prevent the great bounty, that will endlessly flow, to all that can live in a harmless pursuit of what will always avail. To live harmless is really all religion can do that ever has mattered and ever will.

Who Is Our Enemy
Who is our enemy?
If you know nothing of the enemy, how then shall you do
battle against your foes?
If the enemy succeeds in deceiving you as to who, when, where,
what and why, then shall you find conquest?
If the enemy convinces you that others are your
enemy, who are not, then against whom shall you do battle?
If you have not learned the art of warfare, then how shall
you engage the enemy?
If you are convinced there is not a war or that there is no
enemy, then shall you lament your defeat?
If you embrace the enemy– conform to his intent, then who
now is the enemy?
If there exists a war with two sides, can you do battle
on both?
If you attempt to represent both sides, the good and bad,
then what are you?
Who now is our enemy?

Liberty Lost: Part One
The Federal and State government, according to the original
constitution have no business, what-so-ever, even being involved in the question.
Why is this so?
Fundamentally, it is because we have allowed it.
Is the government deceptive? Yes it is!Are we Ignorant? Yes we are?
In ever so many ways we volunteer for our slavery.Never will we regain our liberties and our rights unless
we do so.
Can we do so? Ablsolutely!
Will we do so? Dubious!
Why will we not? Why will we not? Why will we not?

The Absurdity of Religion
Is there one right one?
If one is right, are the others wrong?
When did religions begin?
The very idea of joining a religion is absurd!
The very idea of what people call churches today is absurd!
There is only one religion. It is the truth of our existence.
The moment a religion is identified a limitation to the truth of existence is established.
The moment membership in a church is acknowledged, limitation to exhaustive truth is limited.
Mankind has degenerated to deep isolation from primordial consciousness.
Both conceptualization and vision are deeply impaired.
Mankind lives in a shell of vibrational impairment and is capable of philosophical absurdities as never in the history of mankind.
Why is this so?
Real connection to nature is deeply lost.
Language is corrupted, no longer the powerful tool of thought and reason it once was.
Modern technology and industrialization is the vulgar denial of the bodies profound ability to achieve refinement.
The higher faculties have become mostly dormant.
Now we wait for nature to reclaim that which has violated her provision of access to all that the universal force of love would offer.
Religions and churches have become the lame excuse to isolate from the magnificence of life's possibilities. The all share in the acquiescence to mans greedy consumption of natural resources. Every religion makes allowance to mans false claim to falsely govern. Both religion and government are two faces of the same monster that keeps the human soul at abeyance from is potential divinity. Only we can choose to return to that which once was and shall be again.

East and West, Modern Schizophrenia
Cottonwoods at Dusk
Just as the cottonwoods die, deprived of life giving water taken for agricultural pursuit, yet retaining a certain beauty, so men yet retain enough life that if supplied again would blossom and revive.
Eastern and Western philosophy, just as liberal and conservative politics, seem to have such opposing propensities. The formative-ness of the right versus the fluid capriciousness of the left. Each seem polarized to opposing descriptions of proposed solutions to their respective intents.
Most of it is just the psychotic outward show of relative shallow manifestations.
At the very core of what any society or culture really substantiates their existence, similarity is the reality.
The civil law of a society is the primary fact that defines its spiritual reality.
Society today is deeply subject to the most universal civil homogenization that has likely ever occurred in the history of mankind.
The diversity that emanates when uniqueness becomes embellished by true civil liberty is snuffed out. Theft through taxation and forced mass conformity through unified regulatory process have depressed the true expression of divine inner unfolding.
That which really matters the most is mostly unaddressable. Modern pluralism is just so much mental masturbation. Its predecessor, sectarianism, is merely the result of societies inability to come to terms with universal harmony.
There is only one religion. It is men simply conforming to simple and natural conditions that direct their relationship to the earth, to each other, and ultimately to all universal condition.
Agnosticism is only possible because men live so far removed from the true creative force that the creator has become antagonistic to how men live. No societies today with their accompaniment of religious / philosophical meandering, wander enough at that which would restore them to harmony with divine interposition.
Both eastern and western societies have become corrupted from the true order of life and nature. Both contain sufficient truth, that if adhered to would lead them to the ultimate resolution of the inadequacies that render the spiritually impotent.
Almost every society is in the throes of a dictatorial regime that enforces civil regulation destroying the opportunity for men to live in true harmony. All participate in the theft and lie. All cover the crime with well sounding adage and superficial religious activity.
Men's thinking faculties have not progressed throughout the centuries. They have become detached from the function-ability of other faculties. That which produces truly intelligent awareness is going dormant for lack of use.
When men return to the harmony of the natural and universal order, the right and the left, the liberal and the conservative, east and west, will, as if by some magical enchantment, resolve themselves into a unified reality far larger than anything proposed now. Pluralistic philosophy will transform into cultural diversity in it interplay with unified though, action, and being
Let men learn what freedom truly consists of , inwardly and outwardly, because it is better to die free then live in mediocre slavery.

Separation of Church and State: Thirty Ideas
It was never intended that the Federal Government have anything to do with addressing the questions of church or religion
The original constitution in America was a contract of limited scope, its delegated powers defined by its proviso.
The present US government does not even vaguely resemble the government established by the original constitution of America.
The executive branch has usurped lawmaking capacity through the executive order.
The Supreme court has turned itself into a religious body.
The Supreme court is the supreme body of a nameless national religion.
Humanism, secularism, and agnosticism are its pretended philosophies
The nameless national religion is possible because the Christian people adopted sectarian civil society as their modus operandi.
Sectarian communities resulted because the Christian people failed to conform to the word of God.
The ten amendments were just reminders that the federal government had no business interfering with other jurisdictions -political and ecclesiastical
The states were to follow the same policy. "No state shall make any law impairing the obligation of contracts.
The ninth and tenth amendments make it clear that the federal government has no business interfering with the primary civil process.
The people cannot maintain their rights without local self-government by contract.
Civil laws and the power to make them is through civil societies established by contract
The people of America failed to enter into functional contracts of self-government.
The federal and state governments accordingly usurped the civil power that the people failed to constitute.
You cannot separate the civil power of law from church and religion, they are indivisible!
If the national religion is not Christianity, it is another religion
The Federal government is created because of religion and through the power of religion.
The Federal government is always an establishment of religion.
The sovereign people purportedly created the Federal government and gave it limited and general powers
If the Federal government passes even one civil law, it has violated the first amendment -and the ninth and tenth.
If the Federal government passes even one civil law, there no longer exists limits as to how many civil laws it can pass.
The Federal government is to pass resolutions to govern itself and carry out its limited powers.
The Federal government is to pass general laws that pertain to general jurisdictions -not civil laws that regulate individuals.
The states and other countries, in their political capacity, are the jurisdictions that the federal government is to have a limited legal relationship with.
We the people have failed to govern ourselves according to the Word of God.
The present slavery system of government is our self imposed punishment for not choosing to obey God.
We are in deep shit!
- God will return to us if we return to Him.

Relatives and Absolutes
The modern idea is that there is nothing absolute. Reality is what we choose and what works. This disconnected philosophy now pervades western social and philosophical teachings and practices. It boils down to "if it feels good, do it". And if it bothers someone then maybe we can work something out. So now society is drifting along going where?
Most philosophies and religions speak of an absolute or first cause. If there is not an ultimate order to the universe then let the human psyche continue to fracture and then dissipate. What's the point of existence if there is nothing supreme to attain to.
Between government and religions attempting to create a moral and ethical reality, no wander there is such a non definitive reaction that places everything unattached to anything. Detachment is the only possible moment of personal freedom consistent with available choices.
How did this mushy existence come about. Is there, was there, will there be something more solid that works and is worthwhile.
Men have lost the ability to constitute there own reality. It is externally supplied. The nature of all society around us is a system of grand theft. Keeping everyone guessing and uncertain is the name of the game.
Only when men take full responsibility for their own decisions and directly control the civil government they are subject to will the impetus exist to reaffirm a reality based on something substantial, firm and absolute in its nature.
Until men realize that there exists substance, substantial configuring of reality, upon which conscience and consciousness must find consistency with, we will continue to rationalize a sub reality impaired with lies and delusions. A more undeviating reality surrounds our existence that is configured imperatively and imperishably consistent with an absolute entity. This is axiomatic, obvious, and indirectly provable by an insurmountable amount of evidence, physically and metaphysically.
But really, whatever exists as a supreme intelligence, men will not access it until they exercise the supreme intelligence within themselves that can only emerge when men take full responsibility for their existence and utterly refuse to allow any other mortal and insane intelligence to externally dictate anything whatsoever that they, in and of themselves, do not contain, understand and choose for.
In the final analysis all are confused because they do not act consistently with their own existence. Relativism of the day is the justification to continue subjugation to others not directly accessible and accountable to self. We have lost control of our own lives, choices and preferences. Therefore, that which is firm and most absolute within ourselves, the essence of our own being, is snuffed out. The pretense and justification of not acting consistent with conscience is the moment of departure from the firm and unfix-able substance that reflects the absolute.
Get honest, stop participating in the theft and lies of society, then vague relativism will disappear of its own accord. In the mean time, all that we are now will always be real and important only to the extent it conforms to that which is firm and always apparently absolute.

The big trick
Men are deprived of the fruits of their labors. The satisfaction of needs and wants are diminished to the point that men and women lose the ability to experience gratification and pleasure. A religion is created to pacify all to the doleful condition of deprivation they find themselves in. Religion promises rewards to be found much later, perhaps after death. The partner of organized religion-- political government, provides drugs en-masse to the public in many forms. The goods are non-deliverable. True spiritual attainment is precluded while involved in consensus society. Information void of understanding rote-ly fills and crams every nook of conscious reasoning. The grossly addictive material of media and deceived mediums block the paths and channels upon which the sensation of truly refined substance flows. Congestion of the vessels leaves the body impaired, dulled to all the wonder and mystery that the body is divinely created to experience.
Pause, take a deep breath, then let go of all the endless nonsense gregariously presented and largely stuffed down your contracted throats. God is real and the wonder of life is to be experienced in all its endless variety. It is to be experienced here and now!
How do we now stop the theft.
First religion, then government, then all your neighbors in their desperate attempt to grab anything they can get-- most all having been stolen from them.
"Return unto me and I will return unto you".
Only when men entirely stop participating in the theft will they have anything important to say about God. Only when men stop participating in theft will they have the real sensual experience of God. Let us then band together as brothers and sisters simultaneously proclaiming liberty throughout the land. Better to die free than live a slave.
Think so?

The true basis of morality is the refinement of the senses. It is the complete and completed sensual experience that constitutes the highest spiritual attainment possible. The sensation of the five senses are integral and integrated with all other possible sensibilities of the human soul. Sensory deprivation is the basis of immorality. Discipline that develops and results in the refinement and enhancement of sensual gratification is the true picture of morality.
The secularization of society is the ultimate deception in that the daily or usual experience is defined separately from the so called religious or sacred experience. The division of human soul activity,not entirely integrated, is the loss of any possible attainment of deep and meaningful sensual experience. The divided reality contradicts and renders ineffective any ability to produce deep and lasting pleasure.
Man is that he might have joy. Short term satisfaction at the expense of long term satisfaction is the description of the incompleteness in which events proceed. Immediate gratification is always moral if, and only if long term satisfaction is not compromised. The intent of any form of gratification is that the moment of delight anticipates the periodic return of that likewise moment in a yet deeper experience of delight.
Addiction is simply the deterioration of possible moments of gratification. That which is done repeatedly for the sake of pleasure at the expense of other possible pleasures, deeper pleasures, more complete pleasures and the very immediate pleasure sought is the immoral and addictive abuse of the intrinsic and innate self contained aspiration for life itself. It is wrong.
The relativeness of human experience is simply the unresolved ability to experience the ultimate pleasure that is found through conformity to the absolute eternal verity of all that God is. The experience of the five senses is the most outward finalization of an entire unseen, untouched, untasted, not-smelled and unheard vast potential of limitless sensual experience. That which is sublime- below or beyond the limits of consciousness, is all that is connected with and eventually experienced immediately through the outward senses of the body. If the experience cannot ultimately flow through the body then it is not happening. This is emotion- motion from without, through the body drawn out through bodily senses. Remove the five senses, nothing moves!
When men lived close to God, in his presence, in conformity to the conditions upon which He would dwell amongst them, the sensual experience of joy and rapture was always the most intensified. When men attempted to experience pleasure in disregard for that which endlessly provided it for them, they began to find themselves quite on the short end. The continuing and accelerating removal from the source has resulted in a hapless condition of society, largely as we find it today. The entire ethical and moral reality of the day, its philosophy, its religious and spiritual systems, and its very absurd secular practice all boil down to a grand departure from the very desired satisfaction of all that men seek. Except for addictive practices, the spectrum of pleasure runs from none-- lives of silent desperation to numb and complacent mediocrity. When the drugs of society have run out, the mechanism of pleasure is quite broken.
Pluralism boils down to the pretense that we can have something of the profuse and diverse-- seemingly limitless rewards from the Creator. But all is had briefly and superficially. The belief system has little to do with the experience associated with the real condition or practice. The pleasure is short lived in the non-sustainable practice. Men are seekers of pleasure because lack of conformity to that which brings pleasure both in quantity and quality is disregarded.
Secularism boils down to that most of the practices of our life cannot be reconciled to any system of sacredness. All that is sacred does not extend to the outward and temporal facts of life. Men have become benumbed through the collusion.
Sectarianism boils down to the inability of men to find enough answers that would allow them to proceed harmoniously. It is the wrong way men go about attempting to control the show so they can extract pleasure at the expense of others who may or may not conform to the conditions upon which it ethically and morally makes itself available. The religion must control the politics so as to maintain what small degree of gratification proceeds insufficiently. There is plenty to spare for all so why is theft now institutionalized? It is always some form of religion that dominates the political process.
Each body has the ability to experience pleasure or not. Ultimately the body conforms to the decisions that allow or disallow emotion and sensation. The decisions made within the context of genetic transference and environmental influence determine the product. While it may be impossible to change the genetics, it is of course possible to change ourselves. Environment can be modified. It will only be by a spiritual awakening to, a deep conscious awareness of what we can become and what we can experience will the effort be made to make the decision that will result in the complete sensual experience that living in harmony with the creator brings.
In the mean time, virtually every religion, philosophy and practice supports some form of theft in the unnecessary and ineffective grasp for unrealized pleasure. Written in nature and provided by God is the program of pleasure in plenty and gratification more than sufficient. That is what we now and forever must find.

Christian Paradigm
The modern Christian world is important only and precisely to the extent it conveys tradition and information that entails from a condition of culture and civilization that exists only and particularly resolved with men acting in concert with deity. This condition once existed historically. This condition inevitably will exist amongst mortal men on earth again. This immanently exists extensively now --whether we perceive it or not, irregardless of what we have chosen today otherwise.
The problem is, the modern Christian world has departed from anything that can or does exist in the substantive reality of true God attainment and consciousness. The effects of sectarianism and secularism have render Christianity probably more impotent in effecting reality than its contrived liberal and hedonistic opposition. The liberal agnostic left and new age people tend to effectuate more creative and realistic solution to present problems. Modern Christians purport suppositions impossible to sustain and verify. Modern Christians lay claim to Deity while existing in contradiction to all that deity could possibly be about.
Formalistic and academically Christianity makes reference to ancient and traditional forms that contain shadows of past realities. While the Jews do a better job of interpreting sacred history, they give no hope or reconciling the grand epoch of the Son of God Himself that visited in the meridian of time. The past is rife with epochs where men existed closer to God than we can now. If modern Christianity can lend insight and access to knowledge of this past, it is important. If a real and verifiable mediation of God to men can be understood and conformed to, than any system that helps is worthwhile, (but only to that extent).
Modern Christianity attempts to produce logic and knowledge based on generations of corrupted and contrived creed. With an obvious and deep corruption of tradition, with lack of sound academic achievement, with the deepest impairment of true spiritual process, they continue to confuse everyone with their devout insistence of actual or implied authority to represent a deity they know nothing more of than those they oppose.
The answer though is really not to attack the limitations of Christianity that are only another version of the limitations all of us confine ourselves to. Rather Christianity can be seen as a rich repository, though fragmented, of information and historical form that when arranged and accessed correctly, will return man to the culture and civilization that can exist harmoniously with God Himself. The tremendously good material of the Christians will not be by-passed. It is not likely that the knowledge needed to conform to a Godly society will be drawn out of thin air. Liberals tend too much to think so. The idea of obedience to God purported by the Christians, perhaps more directly and deeply than other religions, is greatly to their credit and a valuable piece of the puzzle--not to be diminished. Now if they can escape their most corrupted tradition of forcing their beliefs on others-- the true result of sectarian and secular influence, they might really be of use.
The Christian world has, and continues to address much that is vital to the necessary social revolution long overdue. It is likely they address what others do not. Despite their mediocrity-- a reflection of the mediocrity of all of us, let all address the truths they address. The alternative will be far more difficult.

Social Organization
Libertarianism succeeds well to establish the right to choose as the fundamental moral premise of human existence. Libertarianism fails egregiously to define the purpose for which free choice exists. It is the self sustained collective that is the ultimate treasure of social experience.
The true issue of demarcation of social reality lies within this spectrum. On one side is the attitude, "I will do as I please". A man becomes a law unto himself. On the upper side, "I will do what is right". This is the attitude of obedience. Whether a man accepts the natural order of the universe or professes the ancient personification of deity as his God, there can be a subservience to something larger and ultimately absolute.
Man will always find his greatest joy in the contrivance of collective association. Production will always be maximized in a well ordered collective enterprise. Both wealth and happiness are entirely functions of meaningful social integration.
Both the natural order of life and the message of the divine revealed word of God demand a form of social bondage.
The only question to be solved is, can man, of his own free will and choice, make the decision, without external compulsion, to organize himself according to divine proscription.

Fundamental Deception
The fundamental deception of our day and age is that we can have a religion, a church, a spiritual relationship with God or any important spiritual condition at all without civil liberty. The civil law that we are subject to is the primary limiting factor of our spiritual reality. The greater the involvement in the consensus reality of a civil society contrived upon a civil law system is in fact the primary determining factor of the quality and quantity of spiritual attainment. The moment of real access to God, all that God can or may consist of, is the moment of departure from a false and contrived reality based upon a false civil reality.
God intends for His children, His people, for all creation to be free. God will provide all for us, including a government amongst us, that allows us to be free in every regard. Will we have it?
A true return the presence and participation of our Father who created the opportunity for life, is the reconstruction of lawful civil government.
The moment of belief beyond sensual experience, of faith in unseen substance, of conscious awareness of reality, is the moment departure from all that binds the soul of man. Man must be free to choose for himself and experience the results of those decisions-- and so he is!
Liberty is here and now for those who will have it.

To Have Liberty
We have not liberty only for the reason that we will not have it.
The knowledge of what liberty consists of, how to gain it and sustain it, has become deeply obscured.
The fire inside that leads men to find liberty at all costs is distinguished. Acquiescence and compromise are the pallor of our hapless expressions.
We have not liberty because the affordable price is not paid. All substance is spent on that which brings small returns.
The always existent proscription of liberty is not entertained in circles of men preoccupied with meaningless and endless diversion.
There has been created a pervasive religion and philosophy that precludes the possibility of liberty here and now. All men give heed to the church of Satan. Our souls are deprived of the most priceless commodity.
There exists no force of arms that will prevent men from having liberty it they will have it.
There exists all necessary knowledge to regain and maintain liberty.
There exists an eternity of creative existence that will avail itself to those who will choose for liberty.
"Is life so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery...
...Give me liberty or give me death."

Property
There can be not true religion, no true church, no important spiritual practice, no nothing real going on without a foundation that constitutes reality.
What is reality. Does it have any thing to do with real estate. The words have the same root. It is in fact our relationship to the land that has everything to do with a foundation of reality.
Reality is the earth. Reality is the sense we have when living in harmony with the earth.
If we have disconnected from nature. If our existence has departed from constant and deep contact with earth, its elements, the forces of life uninterrupted by plastic and concrete, then we will know far too little of the world of spirit. Our worship and spiritual access cannot be real. Argue on in philosophical, doctrinal and intellectual positions. It will never find an answer clear enough. The influence of spirit that enlightens the soul is disturbed an so all conclusions.
Now, once departed from nature there is created a civil law that impairs our control and use of property. All the rules and practices are distorted from the completeness of any possible economic, political, social and yes, and very much, religious system. All is founded on distortion and never resolved.
The right and left argue endlessly their differences never realizing that in what is most important and real, they share the same foundation. Partiality and incompleteness leave a divided system locked in an spiritual conflict where the parties cannot assume responsibility for the solution. One day men will walk away from the technological wasteland they have created. Then, in the purity of wilderness will find a civil law that God will approve of. Then religion, and church, and spiritual practice, all will leave men to once again access the spirit of life. In that clarity nothing much is left to argue about.

Pluralism
The doctrine of pluralism constitutes the justification of the seemingly endless spiritual practices that inundate modern society. Nothing much of God will be realized while adhering to a very corrupted civil law. Non-resistance to a civil-religious system that entirely destroys liberty is the the tacit or intentional choice to not participate with deity. An entire society acquiesces to a governmental system that constitutes moral violation of any possible godly condition. Any religion, church, or spiritual practice that is not founded on a true and proper system of civil law that constitutes liberty, is not founded at all. The denial that the civil law is a constituent aspect of any religious society and the foundation of any church is the denial of God Himself. If men cannot accept the proposition that God gave man the civil law, they can at least accept the proposition that a system of civil law is the moral foundation of their existence. In a properly constituted system of law the possibility of resolution and manifestation of all truth is implicit. In a false system of law all truth is controverted and rendered impotent. The Cristian defined system of liberty in law is likely the only system of liberty that has or ever will exist. In the final analysis we have come to worship a false God, the civil law constituting the moral foundation upon which that god is accessed.

Evolution and Devolution
How is the advancement of a civilization measured? Has western culture advanced in the evolutionary sense?
Has Western society advanced in the production of architecture? Is there anything built that can compare to both the beauty and magnificence of ancient structures.
How about the arts? Can we create music as in the Classical era? Has anyone learned of the power of Greek theatre?
How about philosophy. Has anyone read Plato or Aristotle lately?
Now what about the ability of a culture to transmit stable cultural forms from one generation to the next?
Can we measure in terms of how man treats the earth and lives harmoniously with the forces of nature?
What does harmony, peace on earth, lack of warfare have to do with the question?
What about diversity of cultural forms?
How about a coherent religious system that remains consistent and coherent through the generations.
Does modern man live a more spiritually aware existence?
What is there besides material proliferation that modern society prevails in?
The truth is that we live in one of the most degenerate and spiritually unenlightened cultures that has ever existed in the history of mankind. There exists nothing in our culture but crude and cheap replications of what at some time in history existed essentially and substantially more refined and more calculated to resolve the true needs of mankind.
The US government and its respective society is one of the most short lived political system that has ever shown up. Presently All society is in a rapid state of disintegration. Like the Roman system, so the American has rewritten a contrived history of mankind. The aim is to exaggerate the glory of present society at the expense of truth and accurate interpretation of meaning. We no longer have hardly any idea of what has existed and its spiritual significance. Now if we can get off of our epoch ego trip, get real honest, maybe even humble, we might see what has been, what can be, and begin again advancement to a truly enlightened civilization!

A Short History of the World
Eventually they chose a way of life that made it rather unlikely that His kind and benevolent presence could be with them. They became quite uncomfortable living with someone who's way of life was too different than their own. Though He loved them dearly He withdrew. Their were a few that yet sought His kind and loving presence. He would send some of those few in his service from time to time to the others who had turned from Him. The Father wished they would return to His presence so that the longing He had for them would be satisfied. At first they treated the servants with respect since they remembered how kind and loving their absent parent was. Eventually they became weary of hearing the servants and treated them with disdain. There were many attempts of the servants to teach the other children how not to harm each other and live so the Father could return. Soon they would not hear the servants at all. The children decided to choose one amongst them to listen to and required that leader to talk to the sent servants. The leader was not as kind as the servants and did not always return the message of the servants. Still they preferred the leader so they would not be so obliged to hear and respond to the servant. As time proceeded they realized they could not always trust the leader to respect the words of the servants. In fact the leaders said and did things that had not benefit for the children. They chose many leaders and tried to find schemes where the leaders would watch and control each other. All of this was very complicated and never seemed to work well. Instead of realizing the true situation and listen to the servants, they attempted ever more complex schemes of leadership. Eventually they became so involved in their schemes they forgot about the servants. They forgot about the kind Father that loved them and craved their return. The Father once sent His very best Servant who happened to be His Eldest Son. They actually killed Him. Eventually they chose worse and worse leaders as they lost the ability to recognize any thing to do much with the ways of their Father.
The most amazing thing about all of this is that the Father loves His children so much that He has promised that He would be with them at any time if they really wanted Him. By not harming each other is the simple and clear way that we serve notice to our Father we would like to return to Him.

A Real Spiritual Condition
True Spirit
What really is spirituality? There exists a simple and clear answer that will resolve the question though it seems to be the greatest of all mysteries. It appears that the understanding of this obvious matter lies hidden beneath layers of endless conjecture somehow created in mans folly and fallacious intent to avoid an existence of true and full spirituality.
What is this truth and how did it come to be so hidden?
It can be stated simply yet to understand it may require much effort. I suppose the real effort will be to let go of false and incomplete perceptions.
How difficult it is to accept an idea whose implications run contrary to what consensual society now accepts as an self evident? How long will this simple idea remain hidden? Until men are ready to truly emerge to a condition of enlightenment and find themselves fully and deeply resolved.
Here then is this truth. Spirituality hinges upon the civil law. Whatever civil law men subject themselves to, or do not subject themselves to, will constitute the most real and primary factor that determines their access to the world of spirit.
To quote the immortal words of Patrick Henry, “Is life to dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? …give me liberty or give me death!”. Then having so quoted let me ask this first, Can men find a condition of true spirituality without also attaining civil liberty? I say no!

Who is in Charge
There is no real issue of separation of Church and State. It is phony. It is contrived. It does not exist in reality. It is diversion tactics from any real issue.
Of course a private organization ought only regulate the private members of that organization. Of course a private organization ought not control public affairs. Any modern sectarian church is a private organization. If organized by state charter it is a private organization and simultaneously an instrument of the state or regulated by the state. The state may regulate the private organization in conjunction with the members according to the proviso of the charter. Of course such an organization ought not regulate the affairs of any other private organization and certainly not public affairs.
The US government and State governments long ago became private organizations. More accurately they stopped doing business via their public and constitutional capacity, controlled and regulated by the sovereign people. They put that aside and began to act in a private capacity according to special law codes. We have volunteered to act under them in a private capacity.
The issue of separation of church and state has only come up in the last one or two hundred years simply because the idea of what a church is changed, suffered a radical departure from what was previously understood.
The only real question is can God literally govern people. The bible says so.
If God has, can, and does literally govern people, there can only be one true church, His Church. Their can only be one government, His government. If God Did literally rule over men, why does He not now? If he did then, how was His government constituted. If He did then, why would men want any other to government now.
If God governs men why would their be any question of separation of church and state. Their is none. What logical sense would it make that God would have one government called a church and simultaneously a potentially antagonistic government of the state? There is only the question, "can God literally govern men and if so how shall we find ourselves governed by Him again".
Today we are governed by private organizations through and through. Where did they get their authority? Not by the voice of the people (unless through deception and fraud), and certainly not from God. Will we be ruled by men or by God is the only real question worth consideration as pertains to the question of separation of church and state.

Religion
What is religion. Is it a set of philosophical beliefs such as Hindi, Christian, Muslim, etc.? Is it a personal set of concepts, perhaps even convictions. This seems to be what religion has come to mean today. This is in fact a modern rendering of thought and meaning that evades the reality of what religion actually is. Historically no such superficial definition was possible.
What effects us emotionally? What events do we participate in? How do we spend our time? Who do we associate with? What choices do we make that affect our life? All of this is what creates the spiritual condition we live in. This is religion.
What we might believe. What we participate in as regards some organized religion. All of this is a side show.
Television, music, literature, and other forms of media affect and form our consciousness largely. This is the creative matter of what religion really is.
Our relationship with nature, our relationship with other people, how these proceed are the foundation of spiritual awareness and are the real basis of religion.
The civil law that we are subject to affects all of this far more than a church we attend or a religious society we participate in. Sectarian churches are either legally and formalistic instruments of the state, or are just the same informally, not legally Incorporated. Even if not formally incorporated they still constitute an instrument of the state through contract and association. Our relationship to the land and to each other are controlled and contrived through the civil law. This is religion.
The power of the state to determine these things are in fact the power of religion.
Since the days of Abraham Lincoln the state has increasingly become the supreme power in determining matters or religion. It is the Supreme Court, not sectarian religions that define the substantive basis of religion. The executive and legislative bodies likewise manage the civil law and civil concerns of our lives. They together constitute the supreme power over our lives and affect more directly all matters of religion in our lives.
Self Government and civil liberty are the only conditions men will ever live in where freedom of conscience and self determination in religious matters will exist.
In the mean time we are granted by government many choices of so called religious belief and worship. Unfortunately none of these choices are the choice of a true religion with a true relationship with a true God. The State itself is the summation of the choices of religion we have made and that is truly our unreal and present religion.

Is God Real
Now to get down to the heart and soul of the matter the following questions need to be answered correctly. Some real honesty is needed here!
-
Does God have a body, parts, and passion?
-
Did God personally speak to men in times past?
-
Are the records in the bible and other places just made up in mens imagination or did those things really happen?
-
Did god give the civil law to society through Moses?
-
Is Jesus Christ the literal Son of God? Is He the mediator of the Covenants that God made at various times in the history of man with men?
-
Have other men also been the mediator of a Covenant that God made with men?
If these things are true, we all are in deep shit!
Because if they are true then so are the following:
-
There can only be one true church and God is in charge of it.
-
It would be ridiculous for God to call some of his laws civil and then divide others into some religious category. No such line has ever existed or can.
-
To recognize God's church as the only true church would be the same as having a national church. To divide it from government would be insane.
-
Men do not have God in their affairs only because that is what they have chosen.
-
Any thing that men create in the place of God, and attempt to do the job that God is willing to do, is false and presumptuous.
-
Anything that God offers would not be by force but by choice. If we do not have the government of God we have for some reason not chosen for it.
-
God can obviously govern us better than we have managed to do for ourselves.
-
If not now, when?
Separation of church and state is the choice to not have God personally in our affairs. Separation of church and state is the choice to have a false and phony government in the place of God.
If God talks to men and provides them with law and government then separation of church and state is precisely separation from God.
And that is what we have come to.

True Spirituality
The real basis of spirituality is nature itself. Man does not change the laws of nature but participates in nature according to his inherent and contrived limitations.
Most of society has created a life removed from the flow of nature. The endless spiritual practices that men contrive will be relatively superficial and quite incomplete. Man will never resolve himself within the plasticized and siliconized society he has created.
The moment of true spirituality is the moment of real connection with nature. Higher spirituality is access and participation in a Higher State of Nature. Nature is the portal, nature is the container, and nature is an integral part of the process.
If man found himself truly in harmony with nature, agnosticism would be impossible. Crime would easily be resolved in the loss of purpose to create harm. Life would naturally restore to balance.
Somehow we have come to measure progress in terms of superficial material production rather than spiritual evolving. The departure from nature is the departure from God. Advanced civilizations of the past built society far more in harmony with nature. The need for crime was less. The access to the world of spirit and God was greater. The devolvement of Western Society has resulted in the loss of refinement, cultural diversity, and peaceful coexistence.
The second factor of spirituality is the nature and manner of associations that the people make one towards another according to their life in nature. The departure from nature has resulted in superficial and too often perverse relationships. This is just as well the departure from God and true spirituality. Our relationships with each other are precisely the manifestation of our relationship to God. Nature is the uncontrived and pure manifestation of Deity. Contrivance will either result in the departure and destruction of the natural world or man will within nature access and ever deepening harmony with nature and then, with creative intelligence, intervene to the improvement of nature. The potential to elevate nature now lies dormant within modern man.
The civil law is the fundamental instrument of measurement and decision as regards our relationship to each other and to the earth. Only if the civil law is true and just will true spirituality exist. If the manner of establishment, administration, or adjudication of civil law is in any manner altered from its innate harmony with nature, and the God of nature, so will his relationship with God and nature be altered.
Men have departed from nature, from the God of nature, and from the civil law that was once immaculately established amongst them. Until they return to this they are eternally consigned to the superficial spiritual practices that will continue to produce the unhappiness and mediocrity that men pathetically find themselves lost in.

Loss of Language and Meaning
Most of the philosophy of the day is insipid and mediocre. It is shallow and unable to resolve conflict compared to the systems of thought that existed anciently. Past paradigms cannot be understood directly except one learns something of the language and context of their creation. Any serious attempt to study the ancient and classical languages of the past will result in an expansion of consciousness beyond the usual educated experience of the day.
Modern society has generated massive amount of information. It has failed utterly to resolve information into any meaningful system of understanding or practical application. It has little ability to do so. Why is that so? The present use of language has degenerated to the point that no amount of information will overcome loss of coherent and intrinsic consistency and ability for our language to convey and share the real meaning of things.
The influence of scientific speculation upon philosophical interpretation, unwed to metaphysical understanding, has resulted in extreme philosophical debasement. The upside is that the study of quantum physics and sub particles leave men no choice now but to acknowledge an empirical world of metaphysics. A more direct access to the metaphysical world was back then, as it is now, the basis of an enlightened and expanded philosophy.
The endless arguments will continue endlessly unresolved. People no longer communicate clearly their meaning but in an ever more limited manner amongst smaller and smaller circles. The ideological communities are drifting further apart. Specialized languages are being created to convey very limited meaning understood by fewer and fewer. The fractured structure of shared thought continues to crumble.
The historically recent outbreak of technology has deluded society into as state self absorption that allows the entirely fallacious belief that our society has somehow evolved to a higher state of civilization. Science, which can only measure reality superficially, is then interpreted through the modern system of meaning and interpretation which in itself has become relatively superficial. Logic and concepts are limited by the symbols and language upon which it proceeds. In other words, advancement has mistakenly come to be measured in terms of materialistic proliferation rather than spiritual attainment.
It is presumed that former cultures were insufficiently advanced to achieve what modern industrialization and technology has accomplished. This is ass backwards. Ancient cultures were in harmony with the forces of nature and spirit. They were stable and consistent sufficiently that men would not easily transcend the boundaries that kept them from the perversion that modern society has created. It was after generations of corruption of thought and meaning that the mind of society could bring itself to the mindless decisions that have resulted in the profound loss of cultural refinement and violation of the harmonious power of "heaven and earth". True culture and civilization can only be measured in terms of the potential of the language and cultural forms that bring spiritual awakening and expansion of consciousness.
What has modern society accomplished?
-
Scientific method measures reality relatively superficially
-
The arts are a very limited and superficial portal to the world of abstraction compared to ancient arts and disciplines
-
Industrialization has resulted in the largest theft scheme ever concocted in the history of the world.
-
Technology has produced tools of destruction, a form of media that dulls the senses, and a materialistic preoccupation that has produced mediocrity unrivaled in any former society.
-
Education fills the mind by rote with information, no real understanding or superior thought capability. Higher learning consists of specialized and privatized thought that allows ignorance to hide behind sophistication.
-
Architecture that accommodates the sensual needs of the body but leaves the soul to wander restlessly the haunts of prison-like infrastructures.
-
A government that dictates morality, which presumes itself to be God, while projecting its ultimate presumption on the less totalitarian abuses of past societies.
-
A society of hypnotized economic slaves who have through emasculation lost the ability for true self government, individually and communally.

The beat goes on
As modern society continues to collapse, and that it will, the rebuilding of society will consist in a return to the ancient meanings that modern society has largely lost its awareness of. There is nothing new under the sun and that which is ancient is also far less perishable.

The First Amendment
The idea of a church has been in a gradual process of evolution for centuries. When we read the word church in documents of the past, we will ascribe meaning different than intended at the time it was written. The idea of church, as with many other words and ideas, have change very much over the years. Since the change is relatively gradual, it is not usually noticed. As pertains to political government, law and various social forms, the changes are big. In fact, many of the ideas that were held in the past very much have fallen into obscurity.The idea of a church certainly is different today than in the past.
An establishment of religion, as intended by the first amendment, has nothing to do with what the supreme court and a host of other misinformed power hungry idiots have implied. When the American Constitution was written, the term could not be precisely defined because of the absence of conventional consensus on the point. There certainly existed though a basic coalescence of thought on the matter. An establishment of religion was something that neither the state nor federal government was to control. This is the key to the whole matter. There was something the federal government could not control and obviously that was an unacceptable proposition for the power hungry gluts. Their answer was slick and simple. Change a few legal definitions ( Webster will eventually catch up!) and bingo, they now control the whole show.
Instead of "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion", it is now the US government controlling, largely through the Supreme Court, all religious society whether state chartered or not. Is this illegal? Not necassarily. Is this constitutional? It has nothing to do with the original constitution! The whole problem is; There does not exist in America today a true establishment of religion to speak of. (There are a few folks waking up and attempting to operate within a true establishment of religion.)
So what really is an establishment of religion? It is an integral and indivisible aspect of the self governing community. Now does anyone, anymore realize that such a thing once existed? The original constitution was created and established so that these truly free communities could retain their civil liberty. Does anyone, anymore realize that this is the only proposition of true liberty that ever has and ever will exist? These establishments of religion were not state chartered religious societies as we have today. They were mutually exclusive, self governing societies that had the absolute and inalienable right to decide for themselves what part church and religion would play in the government of their society. The federal and state government had absolutely no business to interfere with the question. By simply referring to an establishment of religion as one of their state chartered organization rather than the real McCoy has created this entirely superficial question of separation of Church and State. Of course the state can separate itself as far as it choose from the entities it creates. The real and true establishment of religion was not created by the state. It was in fact those establishments of religion that created the state. Now that state, the present government of the United States of America, has become a monster that has turned on its creators. The federal government has in fact no moral right to dictate any civil law whatsoever to any free man or woman. But they have and do because we have implicitly and explicitly granted to them that right.
A true church has nothing to do with the present state chartered religious societies masquerading as something to do with real Christianity or whatever tag you place on it. A true church was not the business ever of the original federal government. There already existed a most perfect separation of church and state, that was the whole point of the constitution. They created a government that would leave them the hell alone so they could worship God according to the dictates of their conscience. They then would dictate through due process of law what limited role the state and national governments would play in protecting them in that right. It is none of the business of the government to tell anyone whatsoever what and how they shall worship in their own society. It is not the business of state or federal government whatsoever to determine any civil law whatsoever. Their business is what was granted in the original Constitution period. They have not destroyed the original constitution, they cannot. They have by passed it and operate within privatized law and according to some church and religion.
The federal government is now the church itself, it has usurped that power. The Christians and non Christian can argue forever what their slave masters will allow and it will never have any thing to do with true religion, true liberty, a true church and certainly nothing to do with what was intended as an establishment of religion.
In the mean time the heart of the question is not Christianity though admittedly America certainly was created as a Christian Nation. The question is can people govern themselves and will they?

Civil Religion
Saturday, January 06, 2007
What is there about your life or mine that can be compartmentalized and then considered as independent, not related to any or all other aspects of life?
What effects the social, economic, and political aspects of life more than the civil law we are subject to?
What individual or collective form of worship is not affected and interrelated to all other aspects of life?
What religion or religious society is not limited and largely defined by the civil law that it is built upon?
The civil law is religion itself. It always has been and always will.
The decisions we make individually first, and then extended through agreement and contract to others, constitutes the substantive reality of our lives. This is the inclusive condition that creates any possible spiritual reality.
The present civil law is the slavish condition of others making religious decisions for us. We have lost control over the most vital process of our lives as regards liberty and dignity.
The conservative right, more succinctly the Christian conservative right attempts to divorce its profession and practice from the reality of the civil law. It cannot reconcile its creeds and suppositions to the real fact of what creates its substantial practice.
The right does attempt to address the relationship individuals ought to maintain to the civil law. It then proceeds to advocate a belief system that is entirely non sustainable within that legal system. It incorporates to gain legal identity. It then supposes it is some other creature than a creature of the state.
The liberal left attempts to define itself not a church or religion. In its disregard for the sanctity of historical forms, it tenders itself impotent in the face of any possible return to divine interposition or access to any effective structural cohesiveness. It is as philosophically, doctrinally and morally intent as the right but somehow claims to be exclusive of legalistic religious statutes that are inconsistently applied to the right. The left is in fact as much a church or religion as anything else.
The secularization of the civil law is the fundamental deception of society.
That which is enforceable by the power of the sword, which can deprive a man of live liberty and property through legal adjudication, constitutes the true spiritual power over the individual and the collective. It is only when men return to self government, which is the power of the community to entirely constitute all civil process, will any real church, religion, or spiritual power prevail in society.
