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.”
