Even in the absence of “technically” an establised religious dogma, what we believe is manifested in our daily lives., and for us it’s the truth.. For the sake of this discussion it becomes necessary to involve the religious mind into any examination and exposure of cause and effect in peoples lives.. Since the majority of people in the US, South America, Canada, and Europe are of a “christian persuasion” and are brought up that way.., we have to look into the Bible to understand what they believe, and how we would expect that beleif to be demonstrated.. As you place your right hand on the Bible in a court of Law..”you swear to tell the truth, the WHOLE truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God”...It has been repeated over and over again that this country is a nation of laws, and governed by the rule of law.. The above sworn oath is repeated hundreds of thousands of times everyday across the United States.. .Secret societies, maintain this same standard when their initiates swear on an oath, by any other definition.. To tell the truth, it can be safely said, is the most important factor besides love in the human experience.. Without truth, justice is perverted, and evil deeds go un- punished, and the people moan and cry out for fair  treatment...Even when an individual does not feel comfortable in swearing to anything.. they at least must affirm that they will tell the truth..That indicates to me, that they plan on telling the truth anyway, irregardless of the situation or any perceived protection they might receive under the law... “I affirm, in myself, my inner truth, that I will speak the truth..” and hold myself personnally accountable in any failure to do so..” I now find myself, “ironically”, in the awkward position, of having to defend my evaluation of truth by quoting scriptures from the Bible.. In the christian religious mind, God is the source, and judge of truth, we swear to that affect on the inherent truth of God to be truthfull ourselves.. Swearing an oath from that position is as high in the hierarchical order as a person can go, without denying the existence of God..and swearing by virtue of yourself, and your own integrity..Swearing an oath by God puts you in the very tenuous position, if you believe in a supreme authority to tell the truth, as truthfull eyes are watching.. If a person beleives in God, which the majority of this country does, we mustl start with defending truth from the biblical perspective.. on what exactly truth really is.. Or rather how they perceive the truth. Here is where the rubber meets the road as they say... I made the assumption earlier that Jesus was declaring to the people a higher truth, a higher understanding, which for the most part, the majority was, and is, incapable of understanding...For instance... “ you must love God with your whole heart, mind and strength, and your neighbor as yourself,.. on these 2 things, hang ALL THE LAW, AND the prophests.. Mathew 22: 36-40....Just 2 little things sum up, over 600 rules and very pedantic commandments in the law of Moses..not to mention commentaries by the Rabbinical scholars, on what all those laws really mean... We also, today, in the US, have lots of laws to live by...I would dare say not hundreds, but litterally MILLIONS of them, that cover every conceivable situation, and subject, imaginable under the sun, and there doesn’t seem to be an end to it in sight,...As an example, the “new” intelligence reform bill is over 3000 pages of more rules added to the extrordinary amount we already posses.. The Homeland Security including Patriot Act 1&2 add a lot more of them...Fifty individual states, each with their very own complete law library’s... adds to the vast amount of rules people seem to need to define truth for them.. For a very impressionable overview of how many laws we already have, and had to have over the centuries, take a walk through the Library of Congress.., or the law library of any state, or for that matter country, in any place in the world... Are we “on the same page here now”..? One of the major Hebrew prophets, went to the people, and told them what God said to say..His name was Jeremiah.. At the time the people were under the law of Moses, and their truth and overall “righteousness”, was determined by keeping the law, every bit of it..  Even then, there was a higher truth that God wanted the people to understand.. He said..” (A new covenant) Behold, the days are coming” says the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah....NOT according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand, to bring them out of the land of Egypt,...my covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the Lord...but this is the covenant that I will make with the house of israel in those days, says the Lord,,I will put my law, IN THEIR MINDS, and WRITE IT ON THEIR HEARTS, and I will be their God, and they will be my people..no more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying..know the Lord, for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more...”.. Jeremiah 31: 31-34 So what law then will be written on our minds and in our hearts...? It should be mentioned that this scripture refers to “the Jews”, but I can extrapolate that concept to include ALL men.., I can do that because everyone does seem to agree that our “christian principles” and long held beleifs, are rooted in concepts from the Old Testament, and that does seem to be the case as far as the rule of Law is concerned.. As far as the New Covenant is concerned however, people that confess the Christian dogma, are bound by the precepts of that new covenant..They are no longer bound by “THE LAW”, but are now considered bound to the law of INNER TRUTH, of which NO LAW exists accept to live by the Spirit of Truth, which if you posses it, is none other than your inner truth... Do you think maybe it is that law of truth..” the Spirit of truth” which searches mens hearts and minds, and convicts them of sin...?  Inner truth...?, the place where the creative spirit of man dwells... It is this law then, that replaces the legalisms of any physical laws of men...It is the higher truth, that cannot be squandered or despised, without severe retribution.. There is no higher truth or accounting than inner truth which is intended to reflect the higher, and ultimate truth of God himself.., that we as his creation are meant to reflect, in ourselves..and by that expression of inner truth, we bring “glory” to the one who gave it to us... Now to the heart of the matter.. For some strange reason, the christian doctrine, of which this whole world is a part of in one way or another,... the truth that they are individually required to be living and expressing in their lives, is all covered by Jesus blood. That said, we can wash our hands of ever being able to “fullfill the law” and not sin...because Jesus did all that for us...and thats why we worship him...it is why he is their saviour, because we cannot do it ...he had to do it for us all, because only he was capable of inner truth..perfect (in perfect alignment with the will, mind, and heart, of God).?.?  So we “put our trust” in him, and in this way, by proxy, we are brought into communion with God, and he approves us because someone else did it for us... Justification without having to lift a righteous finger, no accountability, no more worries, plus I get eternal life in heaven...now thats a deal..!!!  What I didnt tell you, was that in the preceeding scripture quoting, verse 30 says that... “ But everyone shall die for his own iniquity (sin) every man that eats the sour grapes...his teeth will be set on edge”... That sounds like personnal accountability to me, within the new covenant of the promise of God.. To believe that you are somehow absolved from personnal responsibility to live your inner truth is a very strong delusion...Nobody can ever do that for you,  as suppossed by your beleiving that Jesus somehow by his blood will redeem you to “the father”...who if you were paying attention in the earlier chapters of this book is clearly not your redeemer or saviour or messiah.but part of the bigger delusion that has the whole world in its grip already... Your beleiving that he is,.. puts a good part of the whole world in a position of delusional self lying, as by default, you will never have to be accountable for your inner truth, because you have to believe in order to be “saved” that Jesus took care of that for you...its all covered..It should also be mentioned that the nation of Israel., to whom this law was given, were told numerous times to “flee” from idolatry.”This is one of the main reasons why the nation of Israel was sent into “exile” in the first place..It is where we all still find ourselves..!!. One of the idolatrous practices of this nation, that had also rebelled against God, was that of Human blood sacricife, specifically that of the first born..God said through his prohpets about this practice and others... ‘Please do not do this thing that I hate.”..If God hated the practice of Human blood sacrifice of the firstborn,and then pleaded with them not to do it.. and it can be assumed that he was truthfull, why, would he then turn around, and give his own firstborn son up for blood sacrifice..? after strictly telling them NOT to do it..? It is in this way that the shadow is perpeptuated..or one of the ways that it is..but needless to say, it is a big one...Christian fascism springs from this concept of being able to make excuses for the most evil deeds ever conceived of by man, all done in the name of God, and ironically, truth..and then justify them..using the rule of law principle, that rule which was truthfully replaced by the law of inner truth, which is written in our minds and on our hearts.. Now , I have 1 more scripture I need to quote, to solidify this concept into the hearts of the readers... Galations 5:4... ‘You have become estranged from christ, you who attempt to be justified by the law...you have fallen from grace”... A direct quote, alledgedly by the Apostle Paul, who had a lot to say about the law, and bondage to it, and the liberty, and freedom from the law, that the “New Covenant” was suppossed to provide... In fact, I dare say, that a good chunk of the New Testament, which was intended to be an exposee’ of Jeremiah 31, dealt with the concept of the “rule of Law minded individuals” and those who had been initiated into a higher truth,.and alledgely freed from the servitude of the law....one whereby truth, and love, were the only 2 laws allowed to be expressed, and needed to be kept and guarded.., and of which there was no law against.. Entire sections of the New Testament (New Covenant) are aimed at explaining to a dulled mind, concepts of a subject that if they possesed it, they would already know of its ideals without having to be taught about them...It is already written in their minds, and on their hearts... (inner truth) Paul made other more impressionable comments in his letters like saying that anyone that desires to be justified by the law, is making himself a debtor to keep the whole law, as in essence if you break just one teeny little law, you are guilty of breaking the whole law.. (paraphrased) This is the place where the world finds itself today...because truth has been, and will continue to be compromised, it has naturally been replaced, by the Rule of Law of which, the higher law was confirmed to be not adequate to live by, even though it was this higher Law that was the embodiment of the natural law without all the rules...and that those who continued to live by the rule of law, were in the dark..and had no concept of a higher truth and understanding.. This is the understanding that the world has regressed to..and is the one they have chosen,.The rule of Law that now establishes truth, like it did millennia ago, and definned by people that have rejected the higher truth, that inner truth, that was designed to replace the legalisms of the Rules of Law, they now use to defend their actions.and justify them..and as expected, are ready and willing to impose those rules on anyone they please, because they have the power and authority to do so... The “Apostle” Paul said that the Law..(rule of law) was a tutor, that maintained its position only as long as the time was needed before they were able to perceive the higher truth..Which if you ask the christians ,was given to the world by Jesus, and now, “true christians” are no longer under the rule of Law, but under grace as it were, not needing a law to justify them, as the intention was that all who possessd this knowledge would be able to judge themselves.or would not be judged at all, but were in fact the judges...So the christians who should know better, are now put placed under slavery of the Rule of Law, by christians who think they are free..??, and using this Rule of Law principle, to bring the whole world into bondage, all the while thinking they posses a higher truth, and are fulfilling the words of Jesus, by forcing those principles.  Here is another direct quote by George Bush...Feel the words...!! “There is only one force in human history...and that is the force of Freedom”... If people are free, why are they being forced to accept that freedom..? .Thats a nice concept on the surface, however the facts today speak a different story than what christians are commanded to obey...The rule of law is back..with full force, and the Bush Administration sees itself as the interpreter, judge, jury, and enforcer of this new rule of law, which is really just the same old rule of law that was suppossed to be replaced by a higher truth... when they were “saved” and accepted Jesus as their “saviour”...!!!         Yet, in contra-distinction to the words  of Jesus they claim to defend, and up-hold, they violate the inner truth that is incumbent on all men.., by putting the whole world under the bondage of the rule of law, and make us, and themselves slaves to that law of bondage...”thinking themselves wise, they have become fools”... If you are a good little fundie, you will be able to compartmentalize your beleifs into little boxes, that can be used at your discretion to justify your actions.. We hear the battle cry of the separation of church and state, and use this right of our freedom to distinguish between, what “belongs to Caesar” and what belongs to God... Actually, what we have is everything belonging to Caesar, and now done in the name of God, as Caesar is now God, and the protector of the faith...”Hail George Bush”..!! (Seig Hiel ) .!! Just a few hours after Bush took the oath of office for his secound term, a very big group of christians and leaders met at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.. The committee was set up by some of the “biggest” names in christianity. These include, Gary Bauer, Ralph Reed, the Rev. Jerry Falwell. The Rev. Lou Sheldon the chairman and founder of the “Traditional Values Coalition” was there, and very happy with the results of Bush being elected to a secound term..The Christian communities were very instrumental in supporting Bush and his policies in order to get him elected... . During a speech, the Rev..Sheldon made comments based on the words of George Washinton in 1796 at his farewell address... Washinton said..” Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion, and morality are indespensible supports..”  Sheldon made the comment..”.Religion and Morality...Thats what is happenning—that fusion of religion and morality, and public policy has now come about”.. In case the reader hasn’t attached the full meaning to this comment, let me spell it out for you... It means, that the rule of law policies of the US government, backed by the christian fundamentalists, are now merged as one..and whatever they do, is in the name of God, for God, blessed by God, consecrated by God,and assisted by God..Essentially, christianity is now the official state religion..and like Islam, religion and state are inseperable.. Mr Bush has said himself, that it is the christian God that guides ALL his steps, and he has a special “calling” to bring about the changes in the world from God... This is exactly, the same thing that happenned in pre-WW2 Nazi germany..Where Hitler also merged the christian religion of Nazi Germany, with the direct activities of the State.. He aslo had a special calling of God to establish the policies of the Nazi empire throughout the whole world...The Third Reich... The state and religion, and policies were one, and inseparable..and everything they did was justifiable, as God was on their side..against the British, American, French and other christian Allied forces, who also happenned to be Christians...Most were Catholics...Fratracide... Brothers in “the Lord” killing each other.. Both sides and all sides doing it in the name of God..justified in their actions.. I don’t know if anyone has made the association or not, but isnt it a strange “coincidence” that the Muslim terrorists, use the very same language to describe the rightfullness of their cause, as Allah has also blessed them, and will fight for them as well..to destroy the evildoers.and infidels .!!! In fact, ALL muslim countries are not democratic as they would have you believe. The policies of the nations who are muslim adopt the Koran as their guiding force to determine justice and policy..and not the Bible. .The Koran, and those who interpret it, therefore set the policy for Muslim nations...It would be a great sacrilege for a Muslim to adopt christian principles.. They also live by rule of law...Sharia law...We interact with these nations because free trade and capitalism is at work, via the continual flow of oil, seeing that the US now imports more oil than they export, and a good percentage of that is coming from Muslims nations.. In the letters of the Apostle Paul to the early “converts”, he made it very clear, to anyone that was paying attention, that the law..rule of law, had been superceeded by a “new covenant”...  In fact..that concept was the very foundation of the “gospel”..The Old Covenant was now the “shadow of the things to come”., which things are now revealed to those of understanding, with ears to hear, and eyes to see...those that posses inner truth...In his words now.. “if you seek to be justified by the law..you have fallen from grace...”..It makes it clear that those who wish to be justified by the law, that they will be judged by the law..no favoritism there..!   Everything, he said, that Jesus said beforehand to them trying to explain higher concepts of understanding to a dulled mind will be void..If after being given this higher truth, they return, “like a dog to his vomit”, to where they originated from..In essence, this is at the heart of what is defined as Blasphemy...after you accept the sprit of truth, you reject that truth, and go back to the carnal law.. Speaking of the mind of God on this subject he said..” by the works of the law, shall no man be justified in his sight”...and thats it in a nutshell..! I should mention at this point, that christians are not the only ones with a monopoly on this truth...Awakenning to the inner truth, the inner man, is the transcendency that all of the Eastern religions speak about, seek, and have spoken about for millenia, before it is said that Jesus ever spoke these words... It is the knowledge and understanding of the ages...and no-one has a monopoly on it..It is presented to everyone, and given to those who will “hear”, and “see”.. Truth, and “the lie”, like hot and cold, and darkness and light are in theory, diametrically oppossed to one another.. It is the Yin Yang of life. You can’t be in both places at the same time.. One last phrase By Jesus should clinch that thought for you... “You cannot serve two masters”.. Once again, as always you are being presented with a choice, as we all will be.. If the theory I have presented in this writing has any validity at all, there is one major point that I would like to bring to everyones attention... There was a rebellion among the “gods”...The true soverign’s rule was usurped.. The legends speak of a time of peace, a golden era, where peace and love and truth truly existed.. It was taken away by those who didn’t have the same ideas about truth and peace and love. From the beginning they have set up kingdoms and rulerships, giving us the world we have today, where socieity is living in the shadow of its former self...We reflect the mind of those who created us.. The world loves its own, and rewards those that advance their ideals... It is plain to see, that injustice, hatred, bribes, selfishness, deceit, greed, etc, are rampant in our world.. About 1/3 of the world could be considered “christian”...The christian message, if applied as it was intended, was meant to awaken the world to the higher truth that once existed..and will one day permeate the earth once more.. It goes without saying that people will chose one of the two ways... “You cannot serve two masters”.. The rule of law, or the rule of truth, inner truth, the one whereby those who posses it have no need of any law, for in essence, “they are a law unto themselves”. If an individual is honest they will see that EVERY religion on the planet, has at its core, the ultimate goal of inner truth, and union with the creator of that truth....The way that truth is reflected though, many times deny’s the presence of that truth they seek..  We are at the point in time, in our worlds societies, where it has become necessary to stage a revolution..Not a revolution of arms by military force,necessarily, although one could possitvely be justified as being necessary ,but a revolution of the mind, of the psyche. It is here...in the psyche of mankind where true change must begin.. "My heart won't believe, what my mind won't accept". A movement where people can no longer remain comfortable with contradictions. Where truth, internal truth is the driving force of our existence..... It has been said, “that if you want to change the world, you have to change yourself first”. It goes without saying, but I’ll say it again anyway..truth starts at home, within us, each and every one of us.. There are no mirrors in Dracula’s house, he will never see his own reflection, and perceive his true evil nature.. We see him as he really is, right before he sucks the life giving blood from our necks...It is always easy to see someones elses faults, however our own faults are missing or diminished from our view..Like a shadow... Comprehending and perceiving our own individual ,internal truth, is as simple as being able to think “in principle”..What I mean by this, is that we are all different, having varying strengths and weaknesses, we all see things differently, and judge those things by our own lifes experience..To be able to think “in princple” is to understand that although an act or feeling or thought you have is not exactly the same as someones else’s, in principle it touches the very same ethical or moral issues..It actually makes us just as culpable, or “guilty” as the one we have accused ,or judged to be worthy of punnishment.. For the sake of arguement, using the christian parable of casting stones at a woman caught in the act of adultery...Under the law of Moses she would be worthy of death, ...”in principle”, all the people gathered around her ready and eager to condem her by stoning her to death, are ,or can be guilty of more heinous crimes, although theirs hasn’t seen the light of day just yet...In the parable, all the people laid down their stones, and walked away..after hearing the words...”Let him among you that has no sin, cast the first stone..” So ask yourself...who told them to put their rocks down..?, why didnt they just complete the law and stone her to death.. Is it because she was not guilty of committing a moral or unethical act..? Clearly, for a breif moment, the people ready to condemn and stone this shamed woman, realized the truth in their inner selves, or hearts, and perceived in principle that it would not be just or righteous to kill her, knowing the lies and deceit that dwelt in their own souls...For them to have killed her anyway, would have been a far more horrible crime, than the act for which they were ready and willing to destroy her for... “In principle”, they were all guilty.. They were not guilty of committing adultery, as far as we know, although maybe some were, including the man she was caught committing adultery with, but they surely were guilty of other things that their inner truth revealed to them in that breif moment.. That seems to be the definning point at which an individual is able to recognize their own inner truth....when it touches them personnally... We all strive in this life to remain “truthfull” at least on the surface of the things we beleive in..If we’re conscious at all, we maintain a vision of ourselves that we fit into perfectly.. Others probally will not see us in the same way we perceive ourselves to be. Our entire lives are built and founded on those beleifs we have about ourselves and those around us.. It is said that ‘he that destroys or steals another mans vision . murders his soul”.. As individuals, our vision of our life is all we have.. If another person steals, or destroys a persons dreams, he has in affect, killed him, willingly, deliberately, and heartlessly. A far greater crime than for instance, being caught by your mother masturbating... You get the point..!! For an individual to maliciously humiliate, condem, shame, and vilify another persons weakness in their humanity, is to negate their own humanity, and that individuals punishment should be equal too or exceed that which they had planned for the one they shamed..In my mind, that is the whole reasonning behind the “principle” of “an eye for an eye”.. It was very direct judgement saved for those individuals who were not able to think in principle..For some reason though, when it touched them personnally, they now understand..!!! The shadow persists though in the individual committing the wrong, as they usually cant perceive the harm they have done,or think in principle where-by they see themselves, in the same way as they see the one they have condemned.., until poetic justice, actually reaches their own doorstep...By their own actions and lack of inner truth, they have willingly invited Dracula into their own house, and will now have their very life and soul bled dry...Their screams go un-heeded, with the same callousness and cruelty with which it was extended to others.. Then you hear...Why me...? what did I ever do to deserve this...God hates me..!!, no-one likes me.. I ask you... ‘Is it too much trouble for you to stop and think if in principle, you have ever wronged someone..and it didn’t phase you one bit, and you felt justified in doing it..? With that in mind, lets follow that rabbit into the hole, and see how deep it goes..! Lets take a look into the human psyche, the deceived and manipulated mind, the lie, “the shadow”... What I see happenning in our world, is a society that has caught a glimpse of these two concepts, and tries to straddle them both at the same time.. They are in hopes of striking a balance between the two...whereby they both can be reconciled, and they can live with that contradiction comfortably..One of them is an imposter...!   As the aware reader can see, it is not possible, nor is their attempt working.. As these two masters fight each other for dominance, which essentially amounts to the continual inner struggle inside us. In order for one of them to win, the one that has the stronger hold, and has reinforced its position will do whatever it needs to do ,to win the battle.. Once the darkened mind has taken control of the seeker, he becomes a slave of the new master...If the rule of Law minded master wins the struggle, the individual, or society as a whole, returns to the shadow, and the “teacher” as the tutor is cast off forever, nor will they be able to comprehend inner truth ever again.. The shadow lie is their new master.    ·                 “...There is no nation on earth powerful enough to accomplish our overthrow. ... Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger. I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing.”—Daniel Webster, June 1, 1837
