Chapter 8 Part XIV Reapplication of Immolation

Reapplication of Immolation

Try as we might, it is impossible for anyone to hold the current generations solely responsible for the present condition of the world. In this time, much of the degeneration which has occurred, did not begin with them. Instead, it began with those generations that established the current order of the universe. During their times, those previous generations had to apply and present their share of Appropriate Sacrifice. But at the end of that presentation, they became tired, wearied, and revulsed by all that they had to endure. So, rather than have their children sacrifice, these parents chose to shield them from the “horrors” which it brings. And by shielding these children from presenting any substantial or Appropriate Sacrifices, they increased their rate of corruption and spoil. And with this increased rate of corruption, those children in turn corrupted and spoiled the subsequent generations. Therefore, with the repetition of this cycle, One ends up with the present generations and the problems of this current world. So, today as we stay on this current course, let us continue by examining what happens without the consistent presentation of Appropriate Sacrifice.

As we are now aware, sacrifice is the key to all change. There is no visible or invisible transformation or change which is accomplished without its application. Applied improperly or not at all, it will bring negative change and eventual ruin. Applied suitably, it will bring positive change and eventual success. Therefore, though it may appear to be loving, in the End, the avoidance of any meaningful sacrifice is not in the best interest of any person or group. Many of those who exist in a state of relative wealth, have come to the conclusion that sacrifice is only required of those who are caught in the clutches of poverty. They are sadly mistaken. Little do they know that their lack of Appropriate Sacrifice, will only lead to the eventual loss of that wealth. As seen in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, it is of no avail in the End to ignore or neglect One’s duty (Luke 16:19-31).

Now, this conclusion that sacrifice is only required by the less fortunate is not a new one. It is to be expected. At the end of every age, this is the inference that many of those who have come to exist in situations of relative wealth will generally arrive at. If One will recall, from Increasing and Decreasing Immolations, we became aware of the fact that this mindset is the result of the third Principle of Sacrificial Application. In that principle, we are told that, “When Suitably or Appropriately presented or applied during any Stage of development, the need for and the level of desire for Immolation diminishes as One moves towards the Latter Stages." So, that Suitable Sacrifice, which was presented by those earlier generations, coupled with the inability of those parents to teach their progeny about the benefits of sacrifice, has given us those who have been coddled and shielded from the realities of this life. And because of this upbringing, these have come to view their wealth and the world as their own personal possessions. And with this mindset in tow, they refuse to present any significant sacrifice for the betterment of their neighbors. In fact, because many of them have never personally experienced the effects of gut-wrenching poverty, they have come to see these same lowly neighbors as roadblocks to the fulfillment of their own selfish desires. Therefore, even though they are envied by many, these who are considered wealthy, are also detested by many more. And contrary to what some have been taught to believe, they are not detested because of their wealth. Instead, they are detested because of that selfishness and their inability to truly present a meaningful sacrifice.

As the rich young ruler in Luke 18:22 discovered, meaningful sacrifice is required to follow the Lord. And just as he was unable to present that sacrifice, many of those who exist in a parallel state, are also unable to do the same. This is because, in their current state of blindness, this wealth is seen as a form of godliness (1Tim. 6:5) Many have concluded that if they are wealthy, then they must be godly. Little do they understand that this is the farthest thing from the truth. But who is able to tell them this? In their minds they cannot fathom, that at the Finish, this same wealth which has afforded them all of the luxuries of this present world, is the handicap which will lead to their downfall.

Throughout history, all of the nations that have become great, are those which have discovered that Appropriate Sacrifice is the key which unlocks the doors of change. It is a tool unlike any other. Applied appropriately and consistently, it is what brings the nations of the world into their positions of prestige and great honor. Its ability to take a nation from that lowly and humble birth, is a most remarkable feat to behold. As it comes into existence, a nation’s years of Appropriate Sacrifice will form the character of its people. This will be accomplished by marking and individualizing two traits: First, it will change and shape that group’s total emotional and intellectual response to reality. Secondly, it will transform and change their ethics. The world is not seen in the same light after One truly has to sacrifice. Reality and ethics will change when One is forced to go days without food and clean drinking water. One’s reality and ethics will change when One is sick and there is no medicine or doctor to run to. One becomes more appreciative when loved ones are constantly dying all around you: One day you bury a child and the next day it is a mother, and then a father, etc… And by the time it is finished, you have buried all of your next of kin. So, when it has finished its work, an Appropriate Sacrifice will prepare that nation for its ascent to a new and more dignified position.

On the other hand, throughout history, all of the nations which have fallen, are those same ones which were once great. These are those who were lifted up by their application of that sacrifice. And just as Appropriate Sacrifice is the key which unlocks the doors of change, a lack of sacrifice or Improper Sacrifice is the force which closes that door. It too is a tool unlike any other. Applied appropriately and consistently, it is what brings the great nations of the world crumbling and tumbling down into inferior positions of subordination and subservience (Matt. 19:30). Its ability to take a nation from that high and lofty perch, to that cold and dark cellar, is a most remarkable feat to behold. As that nation continues to overindulge in its greatness, that lack of sacrifice will change and corrupt the character of its people. This will also be accomplished by marking and individualizing those same traits which were marked during its ascent: First, it will change and corrupt that group’s total emotional and intellectual response to reality (Matt. 24:12). Secondly, it will transform and corrupt their ethics or moral principles. For those who have never really had to sacrifice, the world takes on a whole different look. Reality and ethics will change for the worse when One has been the center of attention and praise. Reality and ethics will corrupt when One has an overabundance of food and clean drinking water. Reality and ethics will change for the worse, when One is sick and able to consistently receive the best medical attention. Reality and ethics will change for the worse, when there is little to worry about. Reality and Ethics will change when One becomes rotten and spoiled. One will begin to think that they are really the center of the universe. One will also begin to think that God owes and serves them. So, when that Improper Sacrifice has finished its work, it will have prepared that nation for its descent back into that lowly and undignified position.

Now, corruption cannot be completely eliminated. As some of the ancients had discovered, corruption is an intrinsic part of existing on the material plane. But as they also discovered, it is linked to the length of a nation’s existence. They observed that those nations which where able to last for the greatest duration of time, were those whose generations were able to corrupt at a low level of speed. And those nations which were only able to last a short amount of time, were those which were unable to slow down their rate of generational corruption. From their observations, the ancients concluded that all corruption is similar. And if similar, then the decay which is brought about by the rewards of a Suitable Sacrifice can be controlled. Therefore, just like other corruptions, it can be made to accelerate or it can be made to decelerate.

So, from this discovery, the ancients realized that there is a principle of application which counteracts the inevitable effects of corruption. This principle which is called the Principle of Reapplication states, “Sacrifice is needed on a consistent basis. To maintain or supersede the gains of the previous generation, it must be reapplied suitably and consistently with each new generation.” This means that each new generation must be taught to sacrifice. And not only taught by verbal means, but also through personal participation and application. Each passing generation must come to understand that if they wished to remain in their positions, sacrifice for the whole must be cherished and consistently applied.

Finally, as we are now aware, one of the most important facts about life which we can’t avoid, is the presentation of sacrifice. One cannot completely shirk their duties and run away from its presentation. It is required, it is necessary, and one way or another it will be collected. Just as man must replant each year for a harvest, each new generation must reapply their own Suitable Sacrifice. As evidenced by their subsequent behaviors, those of the earlier generations were not entirely aware of the full function for which sacrifice is used. Many of them knew and understood that sacrifice functioned as a necessary tool for change. Unfortunately, they were not aware of the fact that it’s reapplication is needed to maintain that change. Therefore, to those of the subsequent generations, who have come to believe that they will traipse through life without presenting a significant sacrifice, prepare yourselves. That which has not been collected, will be gathered at the End. And not only will it be collected, but it will be collected with accrued interest.

If a man wishes to continue to reap, he must continue to sow.”

Psalms 132:12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore.

Deuteronomy 4:10 [Specially] the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and [that] they may teach their children.

Deuteronomy 6:7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Chapter 8 Part XIII Immolations (Pos. to Neg.)

Immolations (Pos. to Neg.)

In a world where people have been incorrectly taught that deeds are in a subordinate position to verbal declarations, it comes as no surprise when One sees that many in this age have lost the ability to read and discern actions. After all, if One has been taught that words are more important than actions, then why should there be any significant focus on the actions and or reactions of others. But unbeknownst to those who have been deceived into such a belief, is the fact that due to their unhealthy focus on verbal declarations, they have lost a very important ability. For with this loss, there comes the inability to distinguish between a sacrifice or action which has been deemed as Improper or Unseemly and that sacrifice or action which has been judged as Suitable or Appropriate. And once unable to discern the character of these actions, then one is unable to correctly determine if their own actions or if the deeds of others are seen as Improper or Appropriate. And if unable to make this determination , then one is incapable of knowing if they are generating a Positive or Negative Influence. And if one does not know whether their actions are generating a Positive or Negative Influence, then they will be unable to correctly forecast the consequences that these deeds will bring. And if unable to correctly forecast the consequences of actions, then One will be unable to find the correct solution to their problems. Therefore, in the End, those who have lost the ability to discern actions, are stumbling blindly around in the dark. And as they stumble around applying what they perceive to be an Appropriate Sacrifice, they will only succeed in worsening their situation. So, today as we continue, let us examine Immolations and Problems which they are meant to solve.

As time passed, one of the things which the ancients began to notice during their observations, is the fact that Immolations and the Problems which they are meant to solve appeared to be quite deceptive in nature. And because of this appearance, on some occasions they were mistakenly applying what they had come to believe was a right sacrifice. But when that which appeared to be a Suitable Sacrifice was presented for acceptance, it was rejected. Therefore, instead of generating a Positive Influence, it would generate a Negative Influence. And instead of bringing a solution to a Problem, that sacrifice would actually make the situation worse.

Now, on other occasions, the opposite was happening. When that which had appeared to be an Improper Sacrifice was presented for acceptance, it was accepted. And instead of generating a Negative Influence, it would produce a Positive Influence. And instead of making that situation worse, it would actually repair and solve the Problem.

The ancients were quite puzzled. Some of the same sacrifices or actions which they had come to perceive as Suitable or Appropriate, were mysteriously generating Evil or Negative Influences. And through these generations, they were bringing about adverse results. Meanwhile, some of the same sacrifices or actions which they had come to perceive as Improper or Unseemly, were generating Good or Positive Influences. And through these generations, they were bringing about favorable results. And yet still at other times, some of these same sacrifices or actions were actually generating the results which they had come to expect. So, the ancients now had another question to resolve: Why does a Suitable or Improper Immolation change its influence and produce an adverse result?

As the ancients continued to apply sacrifices and observe their effects, they received two new revelations. And along with these revelations, they recalled some earlier facts which they had become aware of:

First, it was revealed unto them that a body is not limited to humans. Whether material or spiritual, everything that is in the universe exists in a Body. And while in this body, everything has separate and distinct existence and objective or conceptual reality.

Secondly, it was revealed that all Problems are the consequences of Sacrifices or actions.

Thirdly, they remembered that all things exist in multiple dimensions.

Fourthly, they remembered that existing is in itself an action. And since all things exist in multiple dimensions, then everything is continuously generating multiple influences. Therefore, these multiple generations which are caused from existing will collectively form a giant continuous Influence.

Fifthly, they remembered that all things are continuously producing an influence which may be classified as a Positive or Negative Influence or Effect. And depending on placement or position, this Positive or Negative Influence or Effect will increase or decrease.

Sixthly, they recalled that besides the Positive or Negative influence generated from existing, everything has the potential to produce additional Positive or Negative influence through added movement or action.

With these six details in hand, the ancient came to six propositions in respects to all Sacrifices and Problems:

First, since everything exists in a Body that has separate and distinct existence and objective or conceptual reality; then, every Sacrifice and Problem exists in a Body that has separate and distinct existence and objective or conceptual reality.

Secondly, since all Problems are the consequence of Sacrifices or actions; then, every Sacrifice or action has the potential to become a Problem.

Thirdly, since everything exists in multiple dimensions; then, every Sacrifice and Problem exists in multiple dimensions.

Fourthly, since existing is in itself an action and all things exists in multiple dimensions and by existing, all things are continuously generating multiple influences; then, by existing, every Sacrifice and Problem is continuously generating multiple influences.

Fifthly, since just by existing, everything is continuously producing a Positive or Negative Influence or Effect on other things; then, just by existing, each Problem and Sacrifice is continuously producing a Positive or Negative Influence or Effect. And since this Influence or Effect increase or decrease depending on placement or position; then, by their placement or position, the influence of each Problem or Sacrifice will increase or decrease.

Sixthly, since everything has the potential to produce additional influence through added movement and action; then, through added movement or action, each Problem or Sacrifice has the potential to produce additional Positive or Negative Influence.

From these six propositions, the ancients came to a final conclusion regarding Sacrifices and Problems:

When an entity first comes into being, it is an object, phenomenon, or condition in the realm of sensible experience that is independent of individual thoughts and is perceptible by all observers. And as an object, phenomenon, or condition that is independent of individual thought, it has no influence. Its Positive or Negative Influence, will be determined by the perceptions of those who are watching its actions. Therefore, to those people who subjectively interpret the actions of an object, phenomenon, or condition as a Positive Influence or an Appropriate Sacrifice; it will be a Positive Influence or an Appropriate Sacrifice. And to those who interpret the actions of the same object, phenomenon, or condition as a Negative Influence or a Problem; it will be a Negative Influence or a Problem.

From this conclusion the ancients came to answer the question of: Why does a Suitable and Improper Immolation change its influence and produce adverse results? Because the character of an object, phenomenon, or condition is determined by the majority of people who reside in a certain region, then what is viewed as a Appropriate Immolation in one place, may be viewed as an Improper Immolation in another location. There are many different regions throughout the universe; therefore, all do not exist in the same situation or environment. And if all do not exist in the same situation or environment, then all will not have the same views. Therefore, those sacrifices or actions which the ancients had subjectively viewed as Appropriate Immolations, were actually seen by the people in other regions as Problems or Improper Immolations. And since these immolations were viewed by the people as an Improper Sacrifice, they were producing Negative Influences. And as they continued to produce Negative Influences, they inevitably produced Ripple Effects. And as these Ripple Effects spread, they caused transformations which the ancients had not expected. First, the Effects caused a transformation in those nations. Secondly, they caused transformations in the regions. Thirdly, as the Ripple Effects continued to spread, they caused transformations in the world.

From their observations, the ancients learned that Sacrifice cannot be applied Appropriately without taking into account the place and position of One’s presentation. In order for a sacrifice to bring a desired result, One must regard the environment it is presented in. The view that One’s sacrifice is appropriate is subjective. What is appropriate to one, may not be seen as such by another. Therefore, if One chooses to present a sacrifice which is to be accepted, they must take into consideration the view of the Receiver. They must go beyond their selfish desires and present a sacrifice which is for the benefit of all.

Finally, this is what Jesus is able to do and Adam is unable to comprehend. Jesus did not ignore others and present a sacrifice which was only beneficial for him. He presented a sacrifice which is beneficial and acceptable to all. Unfortunately, Adam is unable to do the same. He and the woman only desire the fruit for themselves (Gen. 3:6). So, for their own selfish gain and without regard for the rest of the world, they chose to partake of that tree. And in doing so, they brought pain and misery to all of the world. This is one of the messages which is found in the story of that sacrifice. This is one of the messages which the writer intended to convey: While Christ chooses to sacrifice himself, Adam and the woman choose to sacrifice the world.

Know your sacrifice, but more importantly, know your Receiver.”

Jeremiah 6:20 To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings [are] not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me.

Hosea 8:13 They sacrifice flesh [for] the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat [it; but] the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.

Malachi 1:10 Who [is there] even among you that would shut the doors [for nought]? neither do ye kindle [fire] on mine altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.

Chapter 8 Part XII Increasing and Decreasing Immolations

Increasing and Decreasing Immolations

As we proceeded from our course in Self-Immolation, we advanced to Application of Immolation. And during that point, we continued our travel by examining sacrifice and it’s application. We recalled the fact that God does not look highly upon sacrifice which is not applied or presented correctly. The sacrifice which One presents must follow a certain procedure and be in accordance with what is required. An since this is the case, when presenting a sacrifice, there are certain Rules of Application which One should follow. And with this in mind, we were then led to recall that there are four Principles of Sacrificial Application, which help One to understand some of the facts of nature which underlie the workings of Man’s world.

The first Principle of Sacrificial Application states, “Immolation is effective only through suitable or appropriate application.” This principle reminds us that a desired effect, change, reaction, or reward can only come through the application or presentation of what is known as a “Suitable or Appropriate Immolation.” A Suitable or Appropriate Immolation is a sacrifice which is fitting or proper for the solution of a problem. And because it is fitting or proper, it is seen as virtuous, excellent, and respectable. The second Principle of Sacrificial Application states, “Sacrifice is ineffective only through an improper application.“ This principle reminds us that a desired effect, change, reaction or reward will not come through the application or presentation of what is known as an “Improper or Unseemly Immolation” An “Improper or Unseemly Immolation” is any and all sacrifice which is not called for. And since it has not been called for, it is not suited for the solution of a problem. This type of sacrifice is seen as inappropriate, indecorous, and not worthy of respect. Today, as we continue, let us examine and recall the last two Principles of Sacrificial Application.

One of the most important things that we must continue to understand, is that sacrifice is unavoidable. As long as any individual exists, they must present a minimum amount of sacrifice. This stems from the fact that existing is in itself an act. And if existing is an act, then everything that has being is continuously in action. And if everything is continuously in action, then just by existing, everyone presents a minimum amount of sacrifice. Therefore, whether material or spiritual, through existing, everyone who is in the world, is continually presenting a minimum amount of sacrifice.

Now, in return for presenting this minimum amount of sacrifice, everyone is given the basics of existence. This means that just by existing, everyone is given the fundamentals or the starting point of life. Or One may say that by having being in a specified place, everyone is given a body. And since there are a variety of places and conditions in the universe, everyone will be given a body under differing situations. There are some who will Start in bodies that are in situations of moderate to extreme poverty. And there are some who will Start in bodies that are in situations of moderate to extreme wealth and comfort.

In respects to their situations, once in a body, One has two choices: First, if One is unhappy with the situation in which they have come to exist under, they can choose to change their level of existence. Through the continued and consistent application of Suitable or Appropriate Immolations, this may be accomplished. This basically means that generation after generation, those who are born in dire straits must Start and continue to apply a high level of Suitable or Appropriate Sacrifice. And through the generations, as they Start and faithfully apply that sacrifice, they will receive positive reactions or rewards. And as these rewards are received, they will gradually direct and transform the course or level of their existence (Heb. 11:6).

Secondly, if One is happy with the situation in which they have come to exist under, they may choose to remain in that condition. But to remain in that situation, they must continue to apply or present a sacrifice. This means that generation after generation, those who are born in relative wealth and comfort, must choose to consistently continue to apply a steady level of Suitable or Appropriate Sacrifice. And through the generations, as those sacrifices are faithfully reapplied, they will continue to receive positive reactions or rewards. And as these rewards are received, they will allow them to remain on that current level of existence.

Now, generally what occurs with those who are born into situations of relative wealth and comfort, is the opposite of what has been advised (Deut. 5:31). As the generations pass, they will gradually forget or ignore the type of sacrifice which was needed to bring them to that current level of existence. This stems from two reasons: First, as each generation is born, the previous generation neglects to teach them about the sacrifices which brought them to their current level of existence (Deut. 4:9). Secondly, wealth and comfort have an increased spoiling and corrupting effect on flesh. And as each generation is born into relative wealth, they will increasingly corrupt or degrade. And through this generational degradation, they will gradually and continually cease to apply or present the level of Suitable sacrifice that is required to remain in that position. And so, as their levels of Appropriate or Suitable Immolation decreases, that level of existence will also decrease.

While the majority of those who are born into situations of relative wealth are gradually ceasing to present a Suitable level of Appropriate Immolations, the majority of those who are born into positions of relative poverty are doing the opposite. As each generation is born into extreme poverty, they are strengthened. Generation after generation, these are continuously required to make great sacrifices. And through words and actions, as these sacrifices are made, the previous generation teaches the next to do likewise. And as each generation constantly presents a level of Suitable Sacrifice, God faithfully rewards them. And as God faithfully rewards them, their level of existence will also increase.

Now, these levels of sacrifice, brings us to the last two Principles of Sacrificial Application. The third principle states, “When Suitably or Appropriately presented or applied during any Stage of development, the need for and the level of desire for Immolation diminishes as One moves towards the Latter Stages." From this principle, we will find one of the most complex problems in the physical universe. If One will notice, it appears that the presentation of a Suitable Sacrifice by earlier generations actually sets up the latter generations for eventual success and failure. This is true. This stems from the fact that as time progresses, the rewards or results of a Suitable or Appropriate Immolation will inevitably appear (Deut. 28:2). And as these rewards are made manifest, they will bring success to latter generations. But, there is a catch. As this success is made manifest and enjoyed, it will reduce the need for great sacrifice or action. And as the need for great sacrifice is reduced, the level of passion or desire for Appropriate Immolation will also diminish. And when the level and the desire of Appropriate Sacrifice are both reduced, corruption and decomposition will be allowed to increase. And with the increase of corruption and decomposition, there will be a multiplication of Improper or Unseemly Sacrifices. And with these increases, there will be a massive System Failure. This system failure is important because it is necessary for progress and it leads us to our next principle.

The fourth Principle of Application states, “When Improperly or Unseemly presented or applied during any Stage of development, the need for and the level of desire for Immolation, increases as One moves towards the Latter Stages.” Once again, from this principle, One will notice that it appears that the presentation of an Improper Sacrifice by earlier generations will set up latter generations for failure and success. This is also true. This is because the aforementioned System Failure, leads to the appearance of the rewards or results from the presentation of those Improper or Unseemly Immolations. And as these rewards are made manifest, they will bring relative discomfort and trouble to the latter generations (Deut. 28:15). But, just as with the previous principle, there is a catch. As these troubles bring pain, misery, and discomfort, they will increase the need for sacrifice or action. And as the need for sacrifice is increased, the level of desire for Appropriate Immolation will also become progressively greater. And when the need and the desire of sacrifice are both increased, there will be a time of Great Sacrifice. And when this time arrives, a Great and Appropriate Sacrifice will be given. And after this Great Sacrifice is given, there will be a System Regeneration.

Finally, encoded in the story of Adam and Eve’s Unseemly Sacrifice and Jesus’ subsequent Appropriate Sacrifice, One will find these two principles in action. After Adam and Eve are placed in a position of success or the garden of Eden, their need for sacrifice is reduced. And as a result of that reduction, their passion and desire for Appropriate Immolations also diminishes. And with these reductions, both increasingly corrupt and degenerate. And while in this state of degeneration, they apply a Unseemly Immolation and fail. With this systems failure, there again comes the need for sacrifice. And as the need for this sacrifice is increased, the level of desire for Appropriate Immolation also becomes progressively greater. And at the End, when the need and the desire of sacrifice are both increased, there is a time of Great Sacrifice. And as this time arrives, a Great and Appropriate Sacrifice is prepared. This Great Sacrifice was and is achieved by Jesus’ death. And after it is given, that System Regeneration is achieved through that Resurrection.

Without sacrifice there can be no visible or invisible transformation.”




Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

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

Psalms 4:5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

Chapter 8 Part XI The Law of the Influence of One

The Law of the Influence of One

In today’s world, a popular misconception regarding the effects generated by the actions of others, has successfully established itself in the minds of many. Those who currently reside in the earth, have come to the dangerous conclusion that actions which are committed within the confines of a wall, will stay within those borders. And since these actions are somehow immured within those parameters, those who reside on the outside of those walls have no need to worry about the effects which they generate. As One will soon see, this notion is mistaken.

Through their spiritual observances, the ancients continued to receive many revelations. And as a result of these revelatory experiences, they continued to increase in wisdom and knowledge. And as they increased in that wisdom and knowledge, they continued to progress out of that state of relative ignorance. And as they moved out of that state of ignorance, their knowledge of how sacrifice operates became progressively greater. And during this time, one of the things which they became aware of, is the power or the influence which a sacrifice or an action generates. They learned that this power or influence is the key to a sacrifice’s transformational power. In addition, they observed that regardless of size or location, every sacrifice or action generates a minimum and variable amount of influence. And once generated, this influence will emanate uninhibited into the surrounding universe. And without regard for time, it would eventually produce a variety of changes. To the observers, this meant two things: First, the sacrifice and actions of One were just as significant as the sacrifice and actions of many. And secondly, the sacrifice and actions of One who is separated by time and space, is just as significant as the sacrifice and actions of One who is in the immediate vicinity. Therefore, the ancients came to the conclusion that regardless of location, time, and or size, all sacrifice and actions are of great importance.

As the ancients continued with their observations, they soon realized that there were two different types of influences at work in the universe. And each influence was generated by a different type of sacrifice. First, there was a Positive Influence. This influence was generated when there was a presentation of what would eventually be known as a Suitable or Appropriate Immolation. If One will recall, in Application of Immolation, we became aware of the fact that a Suitable Immolation is a sacrifice or action which is fitting or proper for the solution of a problem. And because it is fitting or proper, it is seen as virtuous, excellent, and respectable. Secondly, there was a Negative Influence. This influence was generated when there was a presentation of what would eventually be known as an Improper or Unseemly Immolation. Once again, if One will recall, in Application of Immolation, we became aware of the fact that an Improper Immolation is a sacrifice or action which is seen as inappropriate, indecorous, and not worthy of respect.

During these observations, one question inevitably arose: How and why does the sacrifice or actions of One influence or effect all? As the ancients continued with their observances, the answer was gradually revealed. First, they became aware of the fact that all things in the universe collectively exists in multiple dimensions. Meanwhile, all of these dimensions collectively exists in One continuous flowing Body or Stream. From this revelation, they came to a conclusion of: All things exist in multiple dimensions that are continuously and simultaneously moving in multiple streams which collectively form One Body or Universe.

Secondly, it was revealed that existing is in itself an action. And since all things exist in many dimensions, this meant that everything in this universe is given the appearance of moving in a constant wavy motion. And because of this movement, everything in this universe is continuously generating ripples. And because all things collectively exist in multiple dimensions, then everything is continuously generating multiple ripples. Therefore, while in this Stream, these multiple generations which are caused from existing, will collectively form a giant continuous Ripple.

Thirdly, all ripples are continuously producing an influence which may be classified as a Positive or Negative Influence or Effect. And depending on placement or position, this Positive or Negative Influence or Effect will increase or decrease. This meant that without apparent exertion of force or direct exercise of command, just by existing, everything is producing a certain amount of Positive or Negative Influence or Effect on other things. And by being in a certain position or place, this Influence or effect will be greater or lesser.

Fourthly, besides the ripples of Positive or Negative influence generated from existing, everything has the potential to produce additional ripples of Positive or Negative influence through added movement or action.

From these four revelations, the ancients came to four propositions in respects to groups, persons, and nations:

First, since everything exists in multiple dimensions that are continuously and simultaneously moving in multiple streams which collectively form One Body or Universe; then, each person, group, and nation exists in multiple dimensions that are continuously and simultaneously moving in multiple streams which collectively form One Body or Universe.

Secondly, since existing is in itself an action and all things exists in multiple dimensions and by existing, all things are continuously generating multiple ripples; then, by existing, each group, person, and nation is continuously generating multiple ripples.

Thirdly, since just by existing, everything is producing a Positive or Negative Influence or Effect on other things; then, just by existing, each group, person, and nation is continuously producing a Positive or Negative Influence or Effect on other groups, persons, or nations. And since this Influence or Effect increase or decrease depending on placement or position; then, by their placement or position each group, person and nation increases or decreases their Influence on other groups, persons, or nations.

Fourthly, since everything has the potential to produce additional ripples of Positive or Negative Influence through added movement and action; then, each group, person, and nation has the potential to produce additional ripples of Positive or Negative Influence through their added movement or action.

From these four propositions, the ancients came to three final conclusions regarding groups, persons and nations:

First, as the nations exist within the Stream, they will collectively generate continuous Positive or Negative Ripples of Influence within the universe. The overall charge of these Ripples of Influence will be determined by the charge of the Influence generated by the collective movements and actions of these nations. If the charge of this Influence is Positive, it will influence and move the universe in a Positive direction. If the charge of this Influence is Negative, it will influence and move the universe in a Negative direction.

Secondly, while the nations are collectively generating continuous Positive or Negative Ripples of Influence, each nation will individually generate its own Positive or Negative Ripples of Influence. The overall charge of these Ripples will be determined by the charge of the Influence generated by the collective movements and actions of that nations people. If the charge of this Influence is Positive it will influence and move the nation in a Positive direction. If the charge of this Influence is Negative, it will influence and move the nation in a Negative direction.

Thirdly, while a nation is collectively generating its own Positive or Negative Ripples of Influence, each person will individually generate their own Positive or Negative Ripples of Influence. The charge of these Ripples will be determined by the charge of the Influence generated by the collective movements and actions of each individual. Therefore, if the charge of this Influence is Positive, it will influence and move people in a Positive direction. If the charge of this Influence is Negative, it will influence and move people in a Negative direction.

From these three conclusions the ancients came to answer the question of: How and why does the sacrifice or actions of One have an effect on all? Since the influence of each nation is determined by the collective movements and actions of the people, then influence flowed up from the people. This meant that change started when One individual transformed their movements and actions. And for Good or Bad, as that One individual moves to change their sacrifice or actions, they will influence and move those around them to change their sacrifice or actions. And as each One of those individuals changes their sacrifices or actions, it will influence those around them to change their sacrifices or actions. As this continues, it will produce what is known as a Ripple Effect. And as this Ripple Effect spreads, it will cause a transformation in the nation. This change will eventually affect all who reside within that nation. And when that One nation changes, it will move the other nations to change. And for Good or Bad, when the other nations change, it will change the whole universe. So through the sacrifice and actions of One person, all will be affected.

If One will recall, in TOTL (Jonas) ,we touched on this fact in respects to the people of Nineveh. If One will notice the order of repentance. At Jonah’s preaching, the people of Nineveh repented first. And when word came to the King of Nineveh, he was moved to repent. So through the movement and actions of the people, Nineveh changed. And through that change, it avoided sure destruction.

Finally, from these observations, the ancients made note that the effect or influence which is generated by One’s sacrifice or action is governed by an important fundamental principle. This fundamental principle which is known as The Law of the Influence of One states, “ Whether Suitable or Improper, the sacrifice, lack of sacrifice, actions or inactions of One influences the whole.” If One will examine the Holy Scripture, they will see the Negative aspects of this Law written in the story of Adam and Eve. Through that One act, many lives are changed for the worse. And if One will examine, the story of Jesus, they will see the Positive aspect of this Law written into that glorious sacrifice. Through that One act, many lives are steadily transformed for the better.



Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

Mark 9:49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.

Philippians 2:17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.

Chapter 8 Part X Application of Immolation

Application of Immolation

Recently, as we continued our journey towards recalling those things which many have forgotten, we started to examine the act of sacrifice. And during the first part of our examination, we remembered some important facts about sacrifice which the ancients had discovered. First, we recalled the fact, that despite what their earlier ancestors had come to believe, later generations of Man discovered that sacrifice is not limited to the arena of animal slaughter. Instead, through their observations, they saw that it is a phenomenon which extends into the very essence of Man’s existence. And since it extends into the very essence of Man’s existence, it is necessary for life. Also, through these observations, they eventually realized that with the correct or incorrect application of immolation, One would receive certain desirable or undesirable reactions from God. These reactions which are extremely important, could and would direct and transform the very course of One’s existence.

Secondly, we were reminded that God has established many fundamental Laws within this universe. These laws which govern and control the workings of the world are fair and applicable to all. And since they are applicable to all, no one is excluded from their jurisdiction. And since they are fair, all who are within their respective jurisdictions are treated equitably.

Finally, we were reminded of the Law of Immolation. This law, which is chief among laws, is found encoded in the story of Jesus’ sacrifice. The Law of Immolation tells us that, “Whether visible or invisible, large or small, there can be no transformation without a sacrifice.” The universe is built on a system of exchange; therefore, One cannot expect a change where there has been no sacrifice. Today, as we continue, let us examine this immolation along with its application.

To continue to comprehend the Law of Immolation, One must understand that no sacrifice goes without appraisal. Good or evil, right or wrong, God evaluates all sacrifice. If One will recall from Organization, Combination, and Cooperation (God ), this evaluation is part of God’s primary function. Now, after this evaluation, each sacrifice will bring its own reaction or reward (Prov. 26:10). And as the ancients discovered, these reactions or rewards are of the utmost importance. As we have previously mentioned, for better or worse, when applied, these reactions are able to direct and transform the course of One’s very existence. Therefore, because of this importance, there are certain Rules of Application which govern the presentation of a sacrifice. As Cain and many others have found out, God does not look highly upon sacrifice which is not applied or presented correctly. The sacrifice which One presents must be in accordance with what is required, and follow a certain procedure.

Now, this application or presentation leads us to the four Principles of Sacrificial Application. These principles are keys to understanding some of the facts of nature which underlie the workings of Man’s world. The first Principle of Sacrificial Application states, “Immolation is effective only through suitable or appropriate application.” This means that a desired effect, change, reaction, or reward can only come through the application or presentation of what is known as a “Suitable or Appropriate Immolation.” A Suitable or Appropriate Immolation is a sacrifice that is fitting or proper for the solution of a problem. And because it is fitting or proper, it is seen as virtuous, excellent, and respectable.

The second Principle of Sacrificial Application states, “Sacrifice is ineffective only through an improper application.“ This means that a desired effect, change, reaction or reward will not come through the application or presentation of what is known as an “Improper or Unseemly Immolation” An “Improper or Unseemly Immolation” includes any and all sacrifice which is not called for. And since it is not called for, it is not suited for the solution of a problem. This type of sacrifice is seen as inappropriate, indecorous, and not worthy of respect. This also includes No sacrifice. No sacrifice presented, is equivalent to an “Improper or Unseemly Immolation.” One cannot expect a desired effect, change, reaction, reward, if One chooses to apply or present no sacrifice.

To apply or present a “Suitable Immolation,” One must first understand that all successful sacrifices Start and Finish with love. Without true love, an individual will not successfully present or apply a “Suitable Sacrifice.” Without true love One may Start the process of application, but they will not Finish. Therefore, true love is the first and most important ingredient in the application and presentation of a sacrifice.

Now, to properly present a sacrifice, there are certain procedures which One must follow. By correctly following these steps, One reduces the risk of presenting a sacrifice which will be rejected.

First, One must correctly identify the problem. This means that through objective observation, there must first be a complete dissection and analyzation of One’s situation. And after the finish of this analysis, One must judiciously determine or establish the identity of the problem. Now, this first step is an extremely important one. This is because when One analyzes a situation there may be a myriad number of factors involved. To those who are not sagacious, each one of these factors may appear to be the problem. But many of the times, these factors which seem to be the cause, are only symptoms of the actual problem which lies beneath. Therefore, when arriving at a conclusion, One must make sure that that they have correctly identified the problem and not a symptom. A misdiagnosis in this area, will often lead to irreversible and deadly consequences. An individual with a malignant cancer, who is diagnosed as having ulcers, is only continuing to move in a direction which is positioned to end in the grave. .

Secondly, One must identify their goal. This means that One must determine the end toward which the sacrifice is directed. They must decide whether or not the end toward which they are sacrificing, is a realistic or attainable goal. To present a sacrifice for an aim which God will not allow, is extremely futile and foolish.

Thirdly, One must identify the type of immolation which they will present. This means that after correctly identifying the problem and the goal, One must now judiciously decide on a Suitable or Appropriate Sacrifice. Once again, this calls for objectivity. In order to correctly determine the sacrifice which is needed, One cannot be affected or clouded by their personal views, experience, or background. Choosing a sacrifice is equally as important as identifying the problem. To choose an Improper or Unseemly Sacrifice is akin to a misdiagnosis. An individual who chooses to amputate his leg after it has been shown that there is a cancer in his arm, is in the same boat as an individual who has been improperly diagnosed. In the End, both will likely perish.

Fourthly, One must accurately calculate the level of immolation. This means that One must correctly estimate the amount of sacrifice which will be applied. This again calls for judicious objectivity. In order to correctly gauge the amount of sacrifice needed, One cannot be affected or clouded by their personal views, feelings, experience, or background. Choosing the level of immolation is equally as important as identifying the problem and selecting the type of sacrifice which will be presented. To choose a level of sacrifice which does not equal or surpass the problem is an exercise in futility. To choose to amputate a toe when a whole leg is cancerous, is utterly foolish and useless.

Fifthly, One must present or apply the immolation. After the completion of the first four steps, One is now prepared to formally bestow or apply the sacrifice.
Now, the biggest stumbling block to the presentation of a sacrifice has always been the presenter. This is because, many have a hard time perceiving a situation from an objective standpoint. Therefore, to say to some that they must sacrifice something that they hold dear for a greater good, is seen by many as unconscionable and foolish. But this is exactly what Jesus tells Believers to do. In Matt. 18:8-9 Jesus instructs his followers that it is better for One to sacrifice an offensive member which they hold dear, than to allow the whole body to be cast into hell. Everybody loves their individual bodily parts; even so, it is utterly irrational and foolish for One to hold on to a member who is leading their whole body to destruction and ruin just because of a temporal sentimental attachment. For example;

In a remote area where there is no help, an individual who has his arm pinned under a rock is currently on a fast track to death. While pinned under that rock, he has two choices. For the sake of not losing his arm, he may choose to apply an Improper Sacrifice by staying and waiting for help. Or he can choose to apply an Appropriate sacrifice and go to help. For him to choose to stay because he has a sentimental attachment to his arm is absurd and foolish. It is more reasonable to dismember the arm and save the body. To allow the destruction of the body for the sake of saving that arm is totally irrational. Therefore, the individual must apply a Suitable or Appropriate Sacrifice and dismember the arm.

Finally, if One desires to present a sacrifice to God, they must do it correctly. As many in the past have learned, a sacrifice that is improperly presented, will only garner a negative reaction or reward. God does not think highly of those who present a half-hearted sacrifice (Rev. 3:16). Therefore, to give an acceptable sacrifice, One must present it through all faith and love.



Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service.

Philippians 4:18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things [which were sent] from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.

1 Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

Chapter 8 Part IX Self- Immolation

Self- Immolation

What is the meaning and purpose of the sacrifice of Jesus? How does the death of One have the impact to change the whole world? When studying the actions and attitudes of today’s generation of Believers, it becomes quite evident that they have failed to grasp the significance of this glorious act. In today’s world Jesus’ selfless action has been perverted and twisted to the point that it is now seen in a selfish and self-serving manner. Due to improper schooling and the deterioration of man, the popular posture amongst today’s followers has become, “Christ did it all so I don’t have to.” And with this selfish attitude in tow, many have no problem watching Jesus sacrifice alone. While he sacrifices, they themselves sit in relative comfort. Just as long as they believe that Jesus will deliver on his promise of heaven and mansions, they will follow. But when told that they themselves must present a sacrifice, they are immediately revulsed. Having had no intention of seriously lifting a finger, these will search high and low, far and wide for verses to refute what is clearly presented in Scripture. So, did Christ do it all so that you don’t have? Did he sacrifice to keep his followers from sacrificing? Today, as we continue on our road to remembrance, let us Start to really examine Jesus’ sacrifice. And by examining this sacrifice, we can rightfully answer those questions. And by answering those questions, One can continue to bring to remembrance those things which have been forgotten. And by bringing those things to remembrance, One may be able to fully understand the dynamics which are at work in the world today.

Due to a lack of awareness, during the ages past, Man had a limited understanding of who or what God is. And as a result of this limitation, he could not fully grasp his function. Therefore, when it was revealed that sacrifice was required of him, Man was still in a state of relative ignorance. And while in this state, he incorrectly assumed that the sacrifice which he was asked to perform was limited to the killing of sheep, goats and various four footed animals. Though this thought was not God’s intended purpose, he allowed it to be. But as time passed and revelation increased, some in the future generations realized the error that was present in their thinking. And through these realizations, they soon became aware of the fact that sacrifice is not limited to the killing of sheep and other four footed animals. Instead, it exists in many dimensions. They discovered that as a phenomenon, sacrifice actually extends beyond the realm of animal slaughter and into the very essence of Man’s existence. And because of this extension, it affected everything and everyone in the known universe.

In addition, during this Discovery they saw that like other known and observable phenomenon, sacrifice was governed by certain Laws and Principles. And with the correct or incorrect application of these principles, One would receive certain desirable or undesirable reactions from God (Gen 4:3-7). And for better or worse, these reactions were able to direct and transform the course of One’s existence. From this observation, they determined that the past, present, and future occurrence of life is dependent on sacrifice.

Now, in order to Begin to recall these discoveries, we must first remember that there are many fundamental Laws which govern and control the workings of this three dimensional world. These Laws which are established by God, are relatively constant. And since they are constant, all Believers and Non-Believers alike are under their rule. And while under that rule, all are treated equitably. This stems from the fact that these Laws are unable to see or hear, colors, races, names, and nationalities. Unlike Man, they are only able to see and hear actions. And since they are only able to see and hear actions, your self-designation of Muslim, Christian, or Jew, is of no significance to them. Therefore, when One knowingly or unknowingly proceeds to break any of those Laws, they and all who are involved will suffer the consequences of those violations. For example;

The Law of Gravity equitably applies to all. On the Earth, a group of individuals who collectively decide to jump off of a ten story building without any means of flight, will all descend freely by the force of gravity. And unless there is an object in place to catch them during that fall, all will eventually hit the ground. The Law of Gravity is governed by their actions. It does not hear or see their labels; therefore, whether any of them claim to be Christian, Muslim, or Jew is irrelevant. Gravity does not stop its operation because of their respective designations or affiliations. So, all of those individuals who made the collective decision to jump off of that building, will suffer the consequences of their foolish actions.

The Laws of Motion applies to all. A bullet is unable to think and reason. It does not read labels. Once fired, it will automatically conform to the Laws of Motion. Your self- designation as a Christian, Jew, Muslim, Catholic etc… will not force it to break the Law. Therefore, unless it is acted upon by an outside force, it will impact anyone who knowingly or unknowingly stand in its path.

The Laws of the Jungle applies to all. A hungry beast is unable to reason. When hungry, he will prey on any animal which is foolish enough to cross its path. Your action of crossing his path while he is in a state of hunger is all that he sees. Therefore, during this time of hunger, if you are knowingly or unknowingly in his path, he will not stop to see if you are a Christian, Muslim, Catholic or even his own. He does not care. His only aim or goal is total destruction. And through that destruction, he can feed his insatiable appetite.

Encoded into the story of Jesus’ glorious sacrifice, One will find another law:
The Law of Immolation or Sacrifice. This simple but fundamental Law, is in the same mold as the aforementioned Principles. And since it is in the same mold as other Laws, then it does not discriminate by self designation or affiliation. Instead, the Law of Immolation distinguishes by individual or collective actions.
Now, the Law of Immolation states: “Whether visible or invisible, large or small, there can be no transformation without a sacrifice.” This means that without the destruction or surrender of one thing for the sake of another, One cannot expect a change. All of the universal change which occurs in this world, is a result of visible or invisible destruction. The bigger the destruction or sacrifice, the bigger the change. The smaller the destruction or sacrifice, the smaller the change. Even the solitary act of existing requires a minimal amount destruction. Therefore, One cannot wait in anticipation for a big change when there has been little to no sacrifice. Those who wish to see major change, must be prepared to present a major sacrifice. For example;

A couple who wishes to produce a healthy child must be willing to sacrifice. For the sake of that child‘s present and future health, both must be willing to give up or destroy certain aspects of their lives. This may translate into the voluntary loss or destruction of certain activities which they have grown to love. Though these activities are capable of bringing self- gratification to the couple, they may be extremely detrimental to the present and future formation of that fetus. Therefore, if they truly love that child more than they love their own personal lives, then they will be more than willing to sacrifice or destroy those activities. And once accomplished, these acts of destruction or sacrifice will lead to a desired transformation in that seed. And through that change, the husband and wife will have greatly affected that child’s present and future existence.

Finally, to initiate a transformation, One must first be willing to sacrifice. Whether One acknowledges it or not, this is a fundamental Law of the universe. The whole world which One perceives is based upon and governed by the Law of Immolation. Your current state of existence is founded upon you or someone else’s sacrifice or lack thereof. So, in order to truly become followers of Christ, One must be willing to sacrifice. There is no other way around this simple truth. Those who wish to follow, must be willing to give up or destroy those things which are antithetical to the Body of Christ. And through their sacrifice, they will see a transformation in their lives. And not only in their lives, but One will also see a transformation in the surrounding world. One cannot expect to see a change without giving anything in exchange. That is not how the universe operates. God always accepts and exalts appropriate sacrifice. This is the central theme which is found in the story of Jesus’ sacrifice. This is one of the messages which the Spirit intended to convey to the world and to those who wish to follow. Unfortunately, in this age, many have been taught and conditioned to believe otherwise. “Something for nothing,” is the cry which One hears on the Earth today. And for this type of selfishness and wickedness which those in the earth have chosen to embrace, the Judgement of the Lord must come.

Without sacrifice there can be no visible or invisible transformation.”




Mark 9:49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.

Matthew 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service.

Chapter 8 Part VIII Organization, Combination and Cooperation (Believers)

Organization, Combination and Cooperation (Believers)

What is the function of the Believer during the time of the End? The inability of those in Christ to correctly identify their functions, is one of the root causes behind the growth of the destructive cancer which is rapidly destroying today‘s Body. At the same time, this lack of knowledge is also the underlying reason behind the acceptance and unflinching adherence to various unsubstantiated and vain doctrines. This ignorance becomes even more flagrantly obvious when One watches the arrogant and prideful behavior that is plaguing today’s members. To their own detriment, ignorance has become chic. In this current state of intoxication, they boldly proclaim their disdain for the sciences. Evidence is seen as frivolous and only needed by those who are foolish. Therefore, when these are presented with sound and cogent proof, it is ignored and vehemently discarded. While at the same time that they are discarding and ignoring proof, those who present empty and fruitless assumptions, are welcomed and embraced as heroes. Have they not yet realized that God is a strong advocate for knowledge. Were they not taught that life is science? Where were they when Hosea 4:6 was preached? Are they not yet aware that true faith in the Creator is born out of historical, scientific, personal and spiritual evidence?

In order to break out of these restrictive chains of ignorance and illusion, One must quickly come to the realisation of their functions. And once this awareness is attained, One must also come to understand the task which they must speedily fulfill. Without coming to this realisation and understanding, many will likely perish before One can deliver them.

Though it may not always appear to be, in the everyday game of life, those who function through faith in God are supposed to have a decided advantage over those who are operating by unbelief. This stems from two reasons: First, to come to the true knowledge of God, it is necessary for One to be alive or awake. And if One is alive or awake, then it is a sign that they are conscious or aware of reality. And through that awareness of reality, they were vigilant and alert in observing and drawing inferences from their experiences. And by reasoning from the evidence which they have accumulated, they have arrived at an intellectual conclusion that there is a God. If One will recall from Generations of Noah (Grace on Stage), the occurrence of this conclusion is called Discovery. This Discovery is one of the main reasons why it is very rare to find a young child who is truly aware of the existence of God. Because, to be fully aware of God, One must first have a reasonable amount of experience from which to draw upon. And along with those experiences, an individual must also become intellectually conscience of the presence of the other three elements of historical, spiritual, and scientific, evidence which point to him. Therefore, those who walk by true faith are supposed to be people of heightened awareness, and reason.

Secondly, due to that heightened sense of awareness and reason, those who function by faith are supposed to have the ability to use all of the transmissions that God provides. This means that they are able to use: the oral or traditional transmissions of the elders, the literal, scientific and historical transmissions which have been compiled, the transmissions from the world, and One’s own personal transmissions or instincts. And by objectively applying all of those transmissions, they are able to recognise those conditions and circumstances which foretell the approach of an impending disaster. And due to that recognition, they are able to avoid those situations. And when unable to avoid these contingencies, thy are able to prepare for them. And through this preparation, they are able to manage those emergencies.

The opposite is true of those who are operating by unbelief. First, to be unable to come to the true knowledge of God, is an indication that an individual is dead or asleep (Luke 8:52). And if One is dead or asleep, then they have a decreased sense of awareness. And while in that decreased state, they can not be vigilant and alert in observing and drawing inferences from their experiences or surroundings. And without any observation, they are unable to reason from the evidence which has accumulated in the world around them. Therefore, they are incapable of arriving at an intellectual conclusion concerning the existence of God. And as an added negative, those who operate by unbelief are unable to correctly use all of the transmissions that God provides. And without the use of all of these transmissions, it becomes increasingly difficult for One to recognise, prevent, or survive the contingencies of the material world.

Now, until the time of the End., the advantage which is enjoyed by Believers is not readily noticeable This is because, contrary to what many have been taught, faith in Messias or God does not exempt One from functioning under their share of trials and tribulations. Just as everyone else who is engaged in the game of life, those who walk by faith must also function through times of troubles and persecution. In fact, throughout history it has been shewn that true faith in God will increase One’s chances of being subject to these actions. So then, the question which will inevitably arise is, If Believers are subject to an increase in troubles and oppression, then what does it benefit a man if he operates by faith have? Well, there is one major advantage which Believers have over those who have not yet come to believe. And this advantage is found in Man’s pursuit for salvation.

Now, in order to understand this advantage, there are two additional details about salvation which Believers must first recall: First, Believers must remember that, Salvation is a reward. It is a reward which God has established for those who have the endurance to pass the various tests which this life has to offer (James 1:12, Isa. 62:11). During the End, Salvation will be the ultimate reward for those who pass that ultimate test. Therefore, at this point in time, no man can guarantee that they are saved. The ultimate test has not finished it’s course. And until this test is finished, everyone has to work out their salvation with fear and trembling.

Secondly, Though some were taught otherwise, salvation is not an exclusive right. We must remember that it is available for all peoples. This means that the attainment of salvation is open to Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Atheists, Agnostics, etc… It has to be. Due to the fact that salvation is the reward for enduring that temptation or test which the whole world must experience; none can be excluded from it (Rev. 3:10). This is why Matthew 24:13 states, “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” There are many from all walks of life, who through great endurance will pass the test. And because of their success, they will also partake of that reward. Regardless of what one believes, all will not come from a particular denomination or designation (Rev. 7:9-17). And regardless of what one believes, your self-designation or affiliation does not gain you that invitation.

Now, here is where the advantage of the Believer is seen. In this pursuit, all of man is allowed to compete as they see fit. Therefore, man is allowed to choose to compete according to those transmissions which God provides. Or he may choose to compete according to their own knowledge and understanding.
Believers who compete according to the transmissions of God have a decided edge. This is because they have been made aware of what they should expect during the test. In other words, in his transmissions, God has provided them with an advanced copy of the test. Therefore, all that they have to do, is study and prepare according to the advanced copy which they have received . At the same time most nonbelievers are not aware of this test, and they are not aware of the advanced copy. Therefore, they are unable to study. And being unable to study, they are put at a great disadvantage.

In the story of Noah, One is given a perfect example of the Believers advantage and the nonbelievers disadvantage. As the coming of that cataclysmic flood draws nearer, Noah receives a message through the transmissions of God. And in this message, Noah is warned about that approaching event. If One will notice, not only is he warned about the coming of that event, but he is also given detailed instructions on how he and his house are to function before its arrival. After hearing that message, Noah faithfully heeds and functions according to those instructions. And through his actions, Noah and his family are placed in a state of salvation. While in this state, they are able to prevent their destruction and failure until deliverance arrives. Meanwhile, those who did not believe were at a complete disadvantage. Being dead to reality, they were unaware of those transmissions. Therefore, when the flood arrives, they are caught unprepared. And as a result of this lack of preparedness, they all eventually perished.

Finally, if One will closely follow Noah’s example, they will see that his preparation is not limited to his immaterial intelligence. Instead, that preparation also extended into the physical arena. This is because in this sphere, the body and the spirit are one. And if both are one, then that spirit which is without a body only exists in futility. And the body which is without a spirit is considered dead. What then would it have benefited Noah to sustain his spirit while ignoring his body. Or better yet, what does it benefit a man to feed his body while ignoring his spirit. Therefore, because both are of equal importance, both must be sustained. For One to function, requires both physical and spiritual preparation. The inability of some to understand this simple fact has led to many a demise.

You have the right to remain ignorant and refuse to gain knowledge. Anything that you don’t know will soon be used against you in the court of Life

Psalms 68:19 Blessed [be] the Lord, [who] daily loadeth us [with benefits, even] the God of our salvation. Selah.

Jeremiah 18:10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.

Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and [so] that day come upon you unawares.

Chapter 8 Part VII Organization, Combination and Cooperation (Man)

Organization, Combination and Cooperation (Man)

Recently in Organization, Combination, and Cooperation (Salvation) we Started to examine the meaning of the Salvation that the Holy Bible alludes to. In that time, we remembered two very important details which pertain to this Salvation. First, we remembered that God is a God of the living; therefore, Salvation is for the preservation of the Living Man. And secondly, we learned that attaining the state of Salvation is a common effort. And since it is a common effort, it must be brought into existence through the mutual cooperation and participation of God, Messias, and Man.

After the recollection of those facts, we passed into Organization, Combination, and Cooperation (God). And in that time, we recalled that there are two functions which God completes to contribute to the process of Salvation. First, God functions as a teacher and instructor. And as a teacher and instructor, he gives two sets of instructions and guidance to all who enter into the universe. The first set of instructions deals with the universal rules and laws which govern this world, These rules and laws include all: scientific laws, civil laws, international laws, natural laws, etc… The second set of instructions, directs One on how to recognize, and manage the various trials, pitfalls, and obstacles which occur as life progresses. These include: deaths, temptations, wars, famines, etc… During this time, we also remembered that these directions are transmitted in four ways: traditionally by word of mouth or example, literally through scriptures or writings, existentially through the reality which surrounds One, and through instinct. Finally, we were reminded that the second of the two functions which God fulfills in the process of Salvation involves generation. God functions as a generator. And in that function, his responsibility is to multiply all physical expressions which occur in reality; then, for the world to see, he generates the results or products. Today, let us continue by recalling the function of Man in this process of Salvation.

It is important that we remember that as One who is physically engaged in this high stakes game of life, Man’s responsibility lies in the field of physical expressions. This means that his function involves the initiation of actions and reactions in response to his physical environment. These responses may range anywhere from physical confrontation to inaction. And, depending on his environment, these responses may be classified under two categories: First, they may be classified as appropriate and fitting. This means that the initiated action or reaction is in agreement or accord with the current environment.

Secondly, they may be classified as unsuitable or inappropriate. This then means, that these initiated actions or reactions are not in tune or agreement with the current environment. For example; Let us say that a man mistakenly kills his neighbor’s animal. Now in his anger, that neighbor whose animal was killed, retaliates and kills another one of his neighbor’s animals. In this example, this reaction would be classified as unsuitable or inappropriate. This is because this reaction is not in agreement with the situation and with what is lawful. The neighbor whose animal was killed in retaliation, was not involved in that initial action. Therefore, that reaction of retaliation, which may be fitting and appropriate in another situation, is not in agreement or accord with that current environment.

To correctly and effectively engage his environment, Man must first perform a very important action: He must wake up and become aware of God. Since God is the supreme or ultimate reality, Man cannot fully function in accordance with his environment without acknowledging his existence. Man cannot escape this reality. So, One may ask, how can Man become aware of God? The answer to that question is quite simple: In order to become aware of God, One must first become conscious of real events, entities, and states of affairs. This does not mean events, entities, and states of affairs as many have been taught that they should be. But events, entities, and states of affairs as they really are. In other words, One must become an objective observer of this world. They must leave all of their biases and prepossessions at the altars of their desired worlds. And at the same time, they must remove those rose-colored glasses and don the spectacles of reality. This is because reality is not based on what you want or expect it to be. God is; therefore, reality is. Your desire for reality to fit some preconceived notion or doctrine will not force it into that mold. Your belief that God does not exist will not forcibly remove him from existence. For example;

Man is free to believe that crocodiles do not exist. And through that belief, they are even allowed to swim in crocodile infested waters. But no matter how hard they believe and desire that belief to be truth, that wish will not transform the reality which clearly states that crocodiles do exist. Just because they are not aware of what a crocodile may look like is not an indication that it does not exist. Therefore, whether they like it or not, while swimming in that water, they must act and react to crocodiles in a manner which is in agreement with reality. But if they choose to insist that the crocodile does not exist; then, their actions and reactions will reflect this dangerous mindset. And by reflecting this view, they through their actions will eventually pay for that obstinacy.

So as to bring himself into conformity with reality, once awake, Man may choose to readjust his expressions. This means that if he chooses, man may elect to bring his actions and reactions into correspondence with God. But in order to accurately and correctly fulfill this act of readjustment, Man must listen to the instructions and guidance which God provides and has provided. If you will remember, these are those transmissions which are present to help Man recognise and manage the various trials, pitfalls, and obstacles which occur in life. As we are aware, God has provided five choices which Man may select from: First, to help him adjust, Man may choose to use the transmissions which were left by his predecessors. This means that he can choose to use the oral traditions of his elders as a guide. Secondly, he may choose to use the literal transmissions which have been compiled throughout the ages. These include Scriptures and all relevant books of history and science. Thirdly, if he does not have access to any oral or written communications, he may choose to use those transmissions which are found in the world. These transmissions may include newscasts, periodicals, and all relevant and reliable sources of previously unknown information. Fourthly, he may choose to adapt by using his own transmission or instincts. Finally, he may choose to use a combination of all the transmissions.

By solely relying on any one of these transmissions, Man dramatically decreases his chance of success or preservation. But by choosing to correctly and faithfully apply all of those transmissions which come from God, Man increases his chances of overcoming the various trials, pitfalls, and obstacles which occur during play. And he who chooses this way, is destined to increase his chances of preservation and salvation in the End.

Finally, both Man and God have a part to play in the process of Salvation. God Starts the process by giving instructions and guidance. And with the completion of God’s action, Man may continue the process by listening and following those messages. These instructions must be followed in accord with reality. And though some would like it to be, Salvation is not an exclusive asset. All yearn for its benefits. Therefore, God has made it available for all who are engaged in this high stakes game of life. It is a reward for any who have the determination to pursue it. As evidenced in the story of Noah, when both the Creator and Man are working in tandem, the result is success against the various trials, pitfalls, and obstacles which will inevitably come. This action will translates into salvation or preservation against the destruction and failure which eventually arise from wars, famines, deceptions, diseases, temptations, etc… Therefore those who choose to heed and build on God‘s foundation, the same shall increase his chances of achieving salvation. And those who choose not to awaken and continue that process, the same shall receive the penalties for their obstinacy.

A man may choose to awake and readjust himself to reality, or he can choose to remain in that current state, which has been well adjusted and prepared for the grave.





Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

Isaiah 28:15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

1 John 5:8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
