The University of Solar System Studies

I don't think we have any accurate idea of who we really are -- or regarding the true nature of the universe (or even the solar system). We might all be in for some very rude awakenings. Just don't wake-up on the wrong side of the bed -- even if it turns out that we've been sleeping with the devil for thousands of years. I'm going to go way, way, way, way out on a broken limb with the following speculation -- and I don't know where to begin or end -- because it is insanely farfetched speculation. It has to do with Michael, Lilith, the Creation of Some Version of Humanoid Beings -- the writing of certain books of the Bible -- and the War in Heaven. Should the Song of Solomon really have been named the Song of Lilith?? What if someone told you that you were Michael, Lilith, Isis, and Cleopatra (among others) -- that you created some version of humanity -- and that you wrote five books of the Bible?? I suspect that someone has been playing massive mind-games with me -- but there have been various hints from various sources, that some or all of the above might be true for me on a soul-basis. I realize this qualifies me many times over for that secret mental institution -- but I am quite sober and reasonable -- although being this far down the rabbit-hole makes life completely insane 24/7 -- which is why I just whisper and whimper on this thread -- and why I honestly keep trying to remain silent and contrite. I'm sure there are those who sincerely hope that I shut-up -- so they don't have to shut me up -- and I'm NOT kidding. On the other hand -- back-channel communication might be sort of a safety-valve. What if Lilith wrote the Song of Solomon, Psalms, Proverbs, Isaiah, and at least one of the Gospels (or at least the teachings contained within the Gospels)?? What if Solomon was Sol-Amen-Ra?? What if the Queen of Sheba was Lilith?? The Exodus and the Reigns of King David and King Solomon are VERY Interesting!! Especially Behind the Scenes!! Remember that strange message I posted a couple of months ago?? I received the following message (unedited) under VERY Strange Circumstances:

You were Incarnate 2000 Years ago and let Us also say that You brought the Prime Creator's Message to the People (Big "G"). After You had been exiled to the far east in those times - A Usurper (Jesus Cesarian) was set up to draw others away from Your Message and to corrupt It. 300 Years Later - The Council of Nicea was convened by a Roman Emperor (Constantine) to reduce the understandings You'd brought to the People - From approximately 37 Books down to 5. Under the Tutelage of these Controller's - Classical Christian Religion was enacted and forced upon the People over the next 1700 Years...The True Teachings of Yeshua are being held in the Vatican Archives so that They can remain on Top as Controllers (See Stigmata: We need no Men or Buildings to reach the Prime Creator was the Thrust of the Teachings kept secret - The Path within). Does this then mean that the Man  that originally brought the Message was trying to deceive Us? Or is It rather that the Controller's perverted the Understandings that You'd brought Us previously on Purpose? Simply put - I would say - The Later...This is the Crux and one They have worked hard to convolute...

What do you think about such a thing?? I did NOT make this up!! I found it in my word-processor!! I just stumbled upon it -- and I could've easily missed it!! The Ancient Egyptian Deity called me Michael -- but I have NO Idea whether there is any substance to that, or not. I've simply used various messages, suggestions, and sources as conceptual-crutches for modeling the unknowable. I'm NOT going to spell this out -- but I could go into a lot more detail. Let's just say that I don't really care one way or the other. It honestly makes very little difference to me. In fact, it could be a VERY bad thing if it were true. I honestly have NO Idea who I might really be on a soul-basis -- and I'm NOT going to try very hard to find out!! My concern is how to help make things work correctly and properly in this solar system -- and possibly beyond -- and this seems to presently be an impossible dream. I honestly keep seeing myself in a 600 square-foot office-apartment and think-tank of probably less than a dozen researchers -- on an ongoing basis -- lifetime after lifetime -- probably inside some Sport-Model Piloted-Asteroid the Size of Phobos. They supposedly like me on Phobos (for who knows what reasons)!! I might've spent a wild-weekend there in a previous incarnation!! BTW -- note that in the most recent "V" the V-Ships have surfaces that are sort of asteroid-like AND in the fourth episode, a bunch of V-Ships are on the edge of the solar system (in close proximity to something which looks like it might be Nibiru)!! What if Anna (in 'V') and Lilith (in literature and images) are depicted in ways which do not reflect who they might be (or might've been) historically and presently?? I continue to say that I liked the best aspects of Anna and the V's -- but hated the worst parts. What hidden-agendas might be seen in various Sci-Fi series and movies (including 'V')?? Once again, consider re-watching the first four episodes of the most recent 'V' series. Really, most of this thread is closely related to this final post. You would need to look very, very closely to really 'get-it' -- and I don't intend to make things any clearer than I already have. I have purposely made things somewhat obtuse and obscure. I need to say it one more time -- that I have ZERO CONFIDENCE in myself in this particular incarnation -- but that I think this particular thread is VERY interesting if you REALLY study it -- and read between the lines. Once again, in many ways, I am an irresponsible idiot -- and that's probably being kind. But in other ways, I seem to be capable of significant insights in the proper context. But I'm not quick and sharp at all. I'm really very miserable and sluggish -- and I'm really not quite sure why. If I were a Long-Lost Lilith -- would that make me a target of the Nether-Realms?? I have NO freaking idea. Most days I just want to disappear, call this life a Mulligan, and start over. Call me the Mulligan Man!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt3UH2k9lu0 I truly HATE Myself and this Stupid Incarnation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MP_G6arpVI I wish to state one more time that I don't get involved in channeling, regression-hypnosis, bloody-rituals, mediums, madams, séances, out of body, remote-viewing, or anything even remotely creepy. I have never belonged to a cult or a secret society. I've been repeatedly invited to join the Masons, but I have declined these offers. I think Ancient Egypt might hold the key to a lot of things -- but I prefer to approach Egyptology from a Biblical Perspective. I just think that the Bible has been massively messed-with, and that it is just part of a very messy and complex story. Several individuals have given me various and sundry clues over several years -- and I won't repeat them -- although I have given you a few clues (including within this final post). I'm not going to do anything with this thread -- other than study it -- and keep my mouth shut. I don't know if this post makes my life more threatening and threatened, or not. Again, I really don't care if this far-fetched hypothesis is true or not. Please don't die laughing at me!! I don't really know what to think about most important things. I just present various 'roads less traveled'. I'm mostly trying to help solve a puzzle -- and help save a race which seems to be on life-support.

ODM: So much for privacy. I've been told that I'm watched even in the bathroom. Am I supposed to be OK with that??? We seem to be watched, listened-to, harassed, possessed, misused, abused, exploited,  deceived, tortured, murdered, etc. -- and we're supposed to be OK with that??? BTW -- what are those chainsaws used for up there -- exactly?? There are some fine religious people who have no problem with the Human-Sacrifice of Christ -- Old-Testament and End-Time Torture and Mass-Murder by God and the Angels -- but you had better not utter the F---Word!! Not in Their House!! I'm sick of this moral-inconsistency!! I'm sick of the Alternative-Paradigm and New-Age mumbo-jumbo!! I'm sick of the whole GD Mess -- and I'm going away for at least a year or two. Perhaps I'll read some Murray Rothbard or some Martin Heidegger!! Perhaps I'll study Politics and Religion in the 1930's -- with special attention given to England, Germany, and Italy!! You get the picture. I've sort of burned-out -- and it's time to move-on. I even have a couple of new hobbies planned for next year -- if I'm still alive, that is. I continue to think we are in the middle of a very ancient and nasty War in Heaven -- and that we know comparatively little about the mess we're in. When one really starts poking and prodding, things start getting pretty darn ugly. I've tried to make all of this painfully real -- and it's just about finished me off. I can only imagine how bad a lot of City-State meetings really are. Some of you know what I'm talking about. I guess my present goal is to say less and less about most everything -- especially the stuff I've been posting -- and just internalize my quest -- becoming an expert in the areas I've touched upon -- without doing anything. Period. I realize this is a HUGE waste of time and energy -- and that it might really and truly put me in the Bethesda Naval Hospital -- yet I think it might be important relative to my next incarnation -- as strange as THAT sounds!! I've said over and over that I'm virtually useless and hopeless in this present incarnation -- yet in my next tour of duty -- with the proper training -- I think I might be of some use as a consultant relative to what I've modeled over the past few years. On the other hand -- I might've so angered the Galactic Powers That Be -- that I might not even have a Next-Incarnation. This might be 'Curtains'. I wish I were joking. But please know that I haven't dug in my heels and circled the wagons. This has been all about seeking the TRUTH. No disrespect or hostility has been intended. I simply do not really know who and what I'm dealing with -- and no one on the inside really seems to wish to tell me.

Anyway, I'm done. This just isn't fun. I perceive that I've stepped over the line with my last few posts (including this one) -- and I also perceive that a 'crack-down and purge the malcontents' time of trouble and reckoning might be upon us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpiUKyZa-xE It's probably too late for me to not be considered as being an unacceptable and problematic reprobate heretic of a most pestilential nature (or something like that) -- so I'm assuming the worst for my near and distant future -- regardless of which regime dominates in the coming decades. I truly could've done a lot more if I hadn't felt miserable and attacked -- and if I didn't have to worry about physical harm and eternal damnation. I still think that this whole Human-Experiment could've been handled in a much more constructive manner -- regardless of whether the experiment ultimately succeeded, or not. I've tried to help over the past several years (even if it didn't seem like it) -- but this effort didn't work -- and now I feel very little obligation and responsibility to keep repeating something which does not work -- and which no one wants. I'm out of here -- and it might be nearly impossible to get me back -- if anyone were so inclined (which I sincerely doubt). The best and the brightest will hopefully save the world, the solar system, and the galaxy -- and they can hopefully do it without the assistance of completely ignorant fools such as myself. It's sort of nice to NOT be needed. It's a truly liberating experience to NOT feel the crushing weight of responsibility for saving the human race (and who knows which other than human races). What if a reprehensible state of affairs has been allowed to exist within this solar system for thousands of years -- for some very legitimate reasons?? I'm not trying to defend evil. I'm just wondering why the universe at large, hasn't cleaned up what seems to be a miserable mess?? But what if that mess is the human race (and not just evil souls, situations, and humans)?? The Book of Revelation describes the end of life as we know it -- but would that necessarily be a good thing?? I am very Sirius regarding my perception that not everyone in this universe is in love with humanity -- and that some desire that humanity not exist anywhere, under any circumstances. There is evidence for that sort of thing -- and I will continue to model that basic hypothesis. Just know that I will be imagining the most idealistic -- and the most horrific -- world, solar system, and galactic possibilities imaginable. I'm worried Stock-Market Analysts have become Distorted and Bastardized. That keeps me awake at night. That -- and worrying about a Counterfeit Second-Coming of Christ, an Alien-Invasion, Moon-Nazis, the Arrival of the Descended-Disasters, Thermonuclear-Warfare, the Destruction of Everyone (Including the Righteous and the Wicked), and the Chinese Taking Possession of the United States. It's the Little-Things. If you secret-agents ever see my hands shaking -- you'll know why. I'm not sure what percentage of the population should think like I do -- but it should probably be less than one-percent. The problem is, that those who REALLY know the Real-Deal are probably so controlled and watched, that they can't do much with their insider-information -- other than follow orders, get back to work, control and exploit the masses. What if the world, solar system, and galaxy will HAVE to be saved by Completely Ignorant Fools (such as myself)??!! But, please, if I am ever forced into such a role, PLEASE let me do it by continuing this thread -- rather than by making a Completely Ignorant Fool out of myself in Real-Life -- in front of the whole universe!!


Once again, it is nearly impossible to substantiate or invalidate much of what we discuss. In a broader sense, History and Religion are the same way. Who really knows?? I am reduced to considering a lot of possibilities and a lot of information -- and then just getting hunches about the way things might likely be. I've said many times that I feel as if I am in conflict with Divinity, Humanity, and Myself -- and this does NOT make me a happy-camper in a happy-clappy church. Speaking of church -- what if religion will somehow be integrated into school, work, home, and family -- rather than being a stand-alone institution?? What if most church properties will be somehow converted into schools (with churches)?? I've seen some very fine integrations -- wherein a church-school property is well-utilized seven days a week!! Remember to ALWAYS Have a Sabbath-Attitude!! I do NOT wish to Degrade the Decalogue -- but I think we need to take a VERY Careful Look at ALL of Deuteronomy -- Determining What Deuteronomy Means in Modernity -- to ALL the People of the World. Enough Said About THAT!! I've been replying -- but now I'm going to try listening (without replying). BTW -- there are HUGE differences between reacting -- replying -- and responding! The fact that controversial and sensational threads get the most attention is behind the reason I think this world remains screwed-up (and seems to be getting worse). I continue to think this solar system (and not just this world) is One Big Business called Purgatory Incorporated wherein conflict, disease, pain, suffering, warfare, misery, greed, fear, class-warfare, holy-wars, religious-controversy, nationalism, uber-alles, end-of-the-world, saved-and-lost, us-v-them, Salvation4Sale, etc, etc, etc -- are Good for Business!! I call it The Corrupt Ruling the Stupid!! The Golden Rule = Those with the Gold RULE!!! The sad thing is that both the Corrupt and the Stupid seem to be pleased with the present arrangement!! Creating Heaven on Earth aka Paradise Incorporated might be harshly resisted by both the Corrupt and the Stupid!! I suspect that this might be the reason we seem to have Harsh-Administrators of this Prison Planet in Rebellion!! Attempting to Make Things Better might actually Make Things Worse!! I'm morphing into Lurk-Mode for at least a year or two -- watching and listening without replying. One more thing. Consider Everything from All-Angles Always -- and then Compete Without Ceasing With Positive Response Ability!! Robert H. Schuller got it right with Possibility Thinking -- yet this should be ALL Possibilities -- and NOT simply the Positive Possibilities!! Self-Doubt should be punctuated with Self-Esteem -- but neither Self-Doubt or Self-Esteem should be chronic!! The combining of Roman Catholicism with the Crystal Cathedral should be MOST Interesting!! Please remember that this irreverent and slap-stick thread was a means to an end -- which has ended in failure.

As I go away -- please research Soul-Nature, Human-Nature, Pre-Human Nature, and Other Than Human Nature -- with special attention to Conditions Surrounding Their Creation and/or Evolution -- and the Morality and Obedience of All of the Above. In other words -- leave no stone unturned in this general area of research. While I am disgusted by much Human-Behavior and Human-History -- I keep thinking that Basic Human-Nature is actually not that bad -- and that it seems that Humans must be deceived, programmed, and pushed to do most of the "BAD" things they are famous for. Are Humans too disobedient or too obedient?? Are we easily led astray because we are too compliant and too obedient?? Does it take someone such as Hitler to rile us up to do horrible things?? Still, I am puzzled by the disconnect between the Germany of the 1930's and the Germany of the 1940's -- as well as the alleged persistence of the Nazi-Phenomenon into the 21st Century. Who told Hitler what to say and do?? I might study Martin Heidegger to try to understand this puzzle. Does it take someone such as Alex Jones to wake us up to bad things happening all around us in plain sight?? Does it take ranting and raving to wake us up?? Consider re-watching The Century of the Self. I keep sensing a Harsh and Sinister Solar System Administration. I keep wondering about the legitimacy of this suspected administration. Perhaps there are legitimate reasons why we live in Purgatory Incorporated rather than Paradise Incorporated. I suspect that Ancient Orion, Sirius, Atlantis, Babylon, Egypt, Israel, Greece, Persia, Rome, etc. probably hold a lot of the keys to figuring this out. Plus, I know there are those in this solar system who know the WHOLE Story -- and I think I've spoken directly to at least two of them -- but they were quite reluctant to tell me much. I just knew that they knew -- and I tried to read between the lines -- but I didn't like what my perceptions were revealing to me. It was very frustrating and frightening -- and it further ruined my already ruined life. I've joked about being a Token Nice-Guy Insider -- but I honestly question whether I would retain what little sanity I had left, for any longer than 24 hours on the "Inside" -- and I'm NOT joking. I truly think it might be THAT Bad. The Illuminati are often portrayed as being Heartless-Bastards -- but what if being so is the only way to survive in the Shadowy-Underworld??? I'm serious about certain qualified researchers studying this thread over a period of months and years -- again NOT because I'm smart or spiritual -- but because I don't think you'll find this mix of material in very many places -- tied together in the manner I've done it. I'm NOT promoting myself. I Am Promoting the Information and the Arrangement of That Information. I think it might avoid a lot of ditches and cliffs -- if you know what I mean. Once again, I have assumed certain online identities and characteristics which are NOT Me in Real-Life. This is Fantasy-Land. Please Remember That. I'm now going to do my best to NOT post online -- and to attempt to Look-Good and Make-Money in Real-Life in a Highly-Respectable Manner. I'm going to pretend this online and real-life fiasco NEVER Happened. If you talk to me -- don't expect me to say or do anything relative to the past few years. BTW -- I'm still not happy about all the sneaking-around, spying, and whispering behind my back -- and You Know What I'm Talking About. This whole thing should've remained Within This Website. All of this madness was NOT intended for the community I reside in. If I thought I had a case, I'd probably seek legal counsel -- but it might be fun to at least go through the DISCOVERY process (with Multiple FoIA's, an Attorney, an Exorcist, and a Private-Investigator) -- and I'm NOT Joking. Pro Bono Anyone?? You MIGHT be able to retire!! The Jokes are Over Folks. You'll have to get your laughs somewhere else. Good-luck solving all the problems -- and I sincerely mean that.

Just another Biblical thought -- which I think I've mentioned previously -- what if one focused upon Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, and Daniel -- or basically the Wisdom-Books and the Major-Prophets?? Does any religious group do this sort of thing?? What would the Jews say?? What would the Christians say?? What would all religions say?? What would atheists say?? What would agnostics say?? I've wondered about a Christianity which focused upon the Red-Letter Teachings of Jesus -- but what if this Ten Book Old Testament focus were sort of an Old Testament version of Red-Letter Christianity?? Something is very wrong with the church and state situation on this planet -- and I suspect this is by design -- just like I suspect a lot of things are not random accidents of coincidence and fate. Further -- what if one placed these ten books in the context of an Ancient Hebrew-Egypt?? One other study possibility was Deuteronomy, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Isaiah, Matthew, and the 1928 Book of Common Prayer -- as a Minimalist-Traditionalist Old-Testament Based Reformed-Catholic Christianity!! Isn't THAT a Mouthful??!! This option might be most interesting if it were conceptualized as being contained within Ancient-Egypt (complete with Ancient High-Technology)!! Imagine two, three, or four Sun-Gods arguing with each other concerning all of the above!! I still think that Religious and Political Historical Science Fiction might be a productive pursuit -- if and only if genuine truth-seeking were the goal. But I truly think that those who go this route might pay a rather high personal price. I believe that genuine truth-seeking is somewhat self-defeating and self-destructive -- and I'm not sure the Gods and Goddesses are thrilled by such activities. Once again, I think there are probably Gods and Goddesses who are a helluva lot smarter and tougher than we are -- yet they might not be what we might wish for them to be. There might be valid and legitimate reasons why they seem to Rule by Secrecy -- rather than being Open, Honest, and Visible. One last thought regarding Regimes and Changes -- Make Damn Sure That a Change is a Change for the Better -- Long-Term. Do NOT Jump Out of the Frying-Pan and Into the Fire. Think Long and Hard About What I Just Said. What if we really require a Bad@ss Sun God aka Solar System CEO?? What if the Gods and Goddesses in Stargate SG-1 are somewhat representative of the Solar Deities we are dealing with in real-life?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b365_qJEpDg  What if there is sort of a Papa Midnight's Club for Sun Gods on the Dark-Side of the Moon?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5H9fhHkhH4 What if they met at Mork 'n Orks Grey Bar?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9qAqwIW704 Shouldn't we consider even the most absurd possibilities on an ongoing basis?? Unfortunately, I'm finished doing this sort of thing in public. I've learned the hard-way that it just doesn't pay. This sort of thing just doesn't sell. It's NOT popular and respectable -- and it's way too painful and difficult. But I will create a Private-Hell for myself, wherein I agonize over the unthinkable. The Horror.

I appreciate people such as Manly P. Hall. I don't know that much about him -- but I respect esoteric-research -- if, and only if, it is done in the right way -- and for the right reasons. LOVE -- for me -- has digressed into trying to transform Purgatory Incorporated into Paradise Incorporated -- which might involve essentially the same Solar System Structure -- but with the highest ethical-standards -- and the most effective law-enforcement imaginable. I've been told that I should've left everything in the Lord's Hands -- and I still don't know what was meant by that. Should I look the other way when I see cruelty and corruption?? What if there are Many Lords -- Living in Many Mansions -- with Many Wives??? We might be surprised!! Should I conceptualize something between Purgatory Incorporated and Paradise Incorporated?? You know -- the System of Rewards and Punishments being Paradise Incorporated as the Reward -- and Purgatory Incorporated as the Punishment???!!! What if this exact system ALREADY EXISTS???!!! I don't have a problem with high-standards, hard-work, and efficient-accounting -- but this world (and probably the whole solar system) seems to be in HUGE Trouble (on so many levels). What would YOU do if YOU were the CEO of This Solar System??? What Would God Do??? Is it important to make sure that we have the Right God running things in this solar system?? Is it blasphemous to even ask that question??? But seriously, listening to Sherry Shriner, reading The Gods of Eden and Rule by Secrecy has tweaked my brain -- and that's without even touching my Great Controversy!!! I've tried to be quite nice in all of this madness -- and that hasn't seemed to work. I perceive that I've been taken advantage-of and laughed-at -- so perhaps that Final Chapter of The Great Controversy might have to play-out after-all. I love the best parts of that chapter -- and I had hoped to avoid the worst parts -- but things aren't looking so good. No one really seemed to lift their little-finger (or anything else) to really discuss this with me (in any sort of a meaningful way). The Ancient Egyptian Deity implied that this world might be Hell. They were visibly troubled when I began reading from the last chapter of The Great Controversy. Are we really dealing with some version of a conflict between Isis-Hathor and Amen Ra -- Two Ancient Egyptian Deities in Conflict with Each Other?? I'm conflicted regarding whether this is a Two-Way or a Three-Way Conflict. What would one call a God who despised Humanity?? Might a Very Traditional God (who opposed the creation of Humanity) be viewed by Humans as being Satan?? I realize this is a VERY loaded question -- but who one calls "God" or "Satan" might depend on location and perspective. I keep getting the feeling that we live in a very complex and messy universe -- and that things might not be what they seem to our simple Earth-Human Perspectives. What if the Gods and Goddesses fight with each other??!! What if they call each other names -- such as "Satan" and "The Devil"??!! Once again, consider all of the possibilities, all of the time -- even if it hurts. I've dealt with several Individuals of Interest -- yet I kept sensing that I was dealing with the Same Underlying Soul (in different forms). This goes for both the internet and real-life. I've also noticed strange behavior and strangely-familiar statements by those close to me (or somewhat close to me). If they can't get me one way -- they'll get me some other way -- or so it seems. This whole thing stinks on so many levels -- and when my life falls apart when I have to deal with this madness -- I am looked upon as being weak and messed-up -- and I am very seldom thanked for various insights, concerns, and efforts. If I didn't give a damn -- and just looked the other way -- I'd be doing just fine -- thank-you very much. The fact that I have considered some dark universal and theological possibilities should NOT be construed as meaning that I am a Dark-Soul. Just the opposite -- I have simply attempted to Shine a Bright Light Upon a Dark World. Sorry if that rendered some of you Spiritually-Blind. Sorry if that offends -- but it's just part of the act. Were You Fooled by a Completely Ignorant Fool???

Who does Planet Earth belong to?? Who does Earth's Moon belong to? Who does the Sun belong to?? Who do all of the other planets in this solar system belong to?? Who do the moons belong to?? Who owns the asteroids?? What laws apply throughout the solar system?? Should Earth-Humans leave Earth?? Should Earth-Humans leave this solar system?? If so -- where should they go -- and how would they get there?? Who does the Stolen-Technology belong to?? I frankly don't know who and/or what I am on a soul-basis. Am I fundamentally mammalian?? Am I fundamentally reptilian?? Am I fundamentally angelic?? Should Earth-Humans be exterminated?? Is this fundamentally a Reptilian-Universe?? Is this fundamentally a Mammalian-Universe?? Is this fundamentally an Angelic-Universe?? Would a United States of the Solar System solve this solar system's problems?? Would a United States of the Solar System reignite a Hot War in Heaven?? Should we implement Status Quo Ante Bellum in this solar system?? What are the specific roles of the Archangels Gabriel, Michael, and Lucifer in this solar system?? Should the Universe be a Universal-Theocracy -- with no freedom -- and no humans?? Are Human Beings an Illegal and Unwelcome Creation in this Universe?? I've tried to be neutral about all of this -- in a somewhat irreverent, flippant, and humorous way -- but no one really seems to have common-sense, or a sense of humor. I'm frankly thinking that if humans are properly managed, they can become a truly great-race -- and live in harmony with the other races of the universe -- but I'm just not seeing a proper discussion of these most important issues. Once again, I'm sensing a 'Hardline Anti-Human' Faction -- a 'Hardline Exploit the Humans' Faction -- and a Very Out of Power 'Moderate and Neutral' Faction which Reflects My United States of the Solar System Conceptualizations. The big problem for me is that I have NO Idea what's really going on -- or who I really am. This really doesn't seem fair. So much of this madness seems unreasonable and arbitrary -- just like a lot of the Old Testament Rules, Practices, and Warfare. This solar system truly seems insane to me. When I try to make sense out of the madness, this effort seems to be deeply resented by just about everyone. I truly think that Humans are a Recent and Unwelcome Creation in an Other Than Human Universe -- and that Humanity is Seeking a Governmental System which is Heresy to the rest of the Universe. What if the Roman Catholic Church really is part of a Truly Universal Church Theocracy?? Once again, this is not a nasty-attack. I am merely trying to understand what we are really dealing with. I continue to model an idealistic combination of the Roman-System, the British-System, the American-System, and the United-Nations System -- but I fear that my quest for a Dynamic-Equilibrium of Divine-Sovereignty and Human Responsible-Freedom is considered by most of the universe to be Damnable-Heresy of a Most Pestilential Nature. I'm sensing that we live in a Very Harsh, Traditional, and Arbitrary Universe -- which wishes to see this solar system returned to its Pre-Human Conditions (before the creation of the 'Talking-Monkeys'). 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPeRhWSVCJU 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AK0LxkRB6aI Someone please reveal the Real-Deal. I HATE this stupid guessing-game.

I appreciate the work of both Bill Cooper and Alex Jones -- but in very different ways -- and I can only expose myself to their material for short periods of time. I continue to wonder about the detrimental effects of non-stop exposure to the very upsetting areas of research covered by a lot of researchers -- including Bill and Alex. It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of these types of people turn out to be agents of various kinds -- and once again, I just take everything in -- use what I can -- and move on. I'm so screwed-up by all of this madness, that I'm trying to not deal with it anymore -- not directly anyway. It wouldn't surprise me if most people who are anybody -- work for somebody in the shadows. As Jester used to say "Who Do You Work For??!!" The Ancient Egyptian Deity told me that "in twenty years you'll be working for us". That didn't sound like a good thing to me -- but who knows?! I keep worrying about exchanging a bad-regime for an even worse regime. Modeling solar system governance has made me fear there is NO Good Way to Run a Solar System -- and that Good-Guys might really finish last in this nasty game. I asked the Ancient Egyptian Deity "How Good is Too Good??" They didn't have an answer -- and neither did I!! We seemed to know each other -- going way, way, way back!! That's what really scared me!! They seemed to like me and hate me -- simultaneously!! My present conceptualizations are more upsetting than I can handle -- and hence, I'm trying very hard to move on. I'm a regular listener to Sherry Shriner's show -- but I think I'm going to stop listening -- just because I think I'm stuck in a mucky and nasty rut, which I desperately need to get out of. I don't believe everything anyone says -- and I have even irreverently questioned the Gods and Goddesses. I truly think this sort of thing brings on supernatural attacks. It sure feels that way. I've "enjoyed" listening to Alex Jones, Bill Cooper, Sherry Shriner, Eric Jon Phelps, et al -- in a morbid-curiosity sort of way. I don't think this is healthy -- but I do think that some of us need to go down this sad road -- for a while, at least. I don't talk about any of this stuff in "real-life" -- and I'm trying very hard to stop talking about it in the Fantasy-Land of the Internet. There are probably some reprehensible aspects to solar system governance which will be present, regardless of which regime is dominant. Perhaps the best we can do is to understand the "Way Things Are" -- rather than changing things. I don't know. I just feel very, very small and powerless -- compared to the Secret Solar System Government (and it's visible agents and agencies). I think this is an extremely dangerous area of research -- and those who go down this road should keep their seatbelts fastened. I don't wish this madness on anyone -- and I have tried to limit my public activities to this site -- where I suspect that 90% of the participants are a lot further down the rabbit-hole than I am. A coworker of mine just died -- and it sort of makes my 'quest' seem silly, insignificant, and useless. I didn't help this coworker in his final days -- and I feel very guilty and negligent for not doing so. The 'quest' sort of took over. This isn't a good-thing -- to say the least.

I am not necessarily opposed to a lot of the secret stuff -- but I always get the sinking feeling that there is a rogue-faction which is completely out of control -- and extremely dangerous. My United States of the Solar System conceptualizations have been my feeble attempt to at least fantasize about a happy and harmonious solar system of high-technology, and highly-ethical law and order. I keep harping back to my horrifying hypothesis that humanity is a race the universe doesn't want -- and that we might be worse than cattle in the eyes of most of the universe. Mind-you -- I wasn't brought up this way -- yet underlying my religious education was this very concept (in a somewhat hidden form). One has to become a heretic, lose their faith, and go partially-insane, to start grasping how much trouble we might really be in. I keep thinking that the secret factions are mostly just greedy-bastards -- yet there might be genuine fear as well. They MIGHT be fighting the legitimate governments of the world (if any actually exist) -- plus, they might be fighting some really bad@ss alien and/or angelic/demonic forces. I keep thinking that the real truth about how this solar system works is really bad. I'm so sorry for being a stick in the mud -- and for being a party-pooper -- but I am simply attempting to arrive at the simplest and most accurate version of the way things are in the world, solar system, and universe. Unfortunately, this is making me very, very unhappy and non-productive. I don't think I'm crazy presently (even though it might seem like it) -- but I think I might go crazy at a later date -- and I might go down really, really hard. That wouldn't surprise me one little bit -- so follow my internet-posting -- but don't follow me personally. What seem to be supernatural-attacks, seem to be getting worse and worse. I'm also experiencing continuing hostility in 'real-life'. I know I'm paranoid -- yet on some level -- I really think they are out to get me -- yet they seem to mostly be allowing me to hang myself. They just seem to keep feeding me more rope. In many ways, I think I'm hanging myself because I wish to be both honest and invisible. If one doesn't care what happens to themselves -- and just free-styles within the relative freedom of the internet -- they can probably cover a lot more ground than they could if they were trying to "get somewhere" or maintain an "image". It's sort of like "I didn't get the damn job -- so now I'm going to tell you what I really think, @sshole!!!" Sorry for being so blunt and graphic!! I'm really NOT that kind of guy!! Just the opposite!! I've been trying to stop posting for years -- and I never can!! I've been watching several YouTube music videos, with tens of millions of views!! One has over one-hundred million views!! But when it comes to what is posted on this (and similar) websites, the interest is pretty lame -- and often the comments are even more lame!! On one level, this world seems to be quite sophisticated -- yet on another level, the really important subjects are handled rather poorly. I can frankly see why this world is ruled by secrecy -- even though I HATE that concept. It's repugnant!! Perhaps I might meet some of you on the Moon someday -- but I don't know if that would be a good thing, if we found ourselves on the Moon!! I think that Deep-Research of Troubling-Subjects is a pretty lonely road -- but perhaps we should be thankful that people are not dealing with this madness. They might not be ready for it yet -- which is why I just privately research, speculate, and post on this relatively small website.

What if Solomon and Jesus turn out to be the same soul?? Again, try to follow key-souls throughout history -- but don't be surprised by anything!! History might be messier and nastier than we can possibly imagine!! Think long and hard about Lilith, Adam, and Eve -- Isis, Moses, and Aaron -- Isis, Ra, and El -- Isis, David, and Solomon -- Isis, Horus, and Set -- Mary, Jesus, and Paul -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit -- Gabriel, Michael, and Lucifer -- ???????? I'm not implying equivalencies here. I'm just suggesting taking a closer look. Once again, look at how the prayers and collects in the 1928 Book of Common Prayer are ended!! I don't know if that means anything or not -- but I find it quite unsettling!! The Ancient Egyptian Deity asked me if I thought I were the one hanging on the cross in a crucifix?! I didn't think so -- and I don't think so!! However, whoever is depicted as hanging high above the altar does NOT seem to be in favor or in power -- in any way, shape, or form!! There is something creepy about the Sacrificial System, the Substitutionary Atonement, Animal Sacrifices, Human Sacrifices, the Crucified Christ, the Sacrifice of the Mass, and Transubstantiation. I suspect a Very Dark Hidden History and Reality in connection with all of this -- going way, way, way back. I love the devotional and artistic aspects of the Latin Mass -- yet I remain very troubled by the details. Enough Said About THAT. On the other hand -- consider the 1928 Book of Common Prayer with Deuteronomy, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Isaiah, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, and Hebrews printed in their entirety -- along with the 1940 Hymnal. Further, consider this expanded version in both Latin and English (or in Latin, with the English translation included within the text, or in parallel columns)!! Then, what if all of the above were combined with the basic form of the Latin Mass (with Spoken-English and Sung-Latin)??!! What if the larger Roman Catholic Churches used this model for an additional service, which might be referred to as a Protestant Mass??!! Wouldn't THAT be a can of worms??!! Shouldn't Protestantism attempt to stay as close to Catholicism as it possibly can (in good conscience)?? Should Protestantism degenerate into "Anything Goes"?? If you haven't already, please read Exo-Vaticana by Tom Horn and Chris Putnam. I'm sure the church doesn't like it, but it fits in well with this particular website and thread. I'm really neither Friend or Foe of the Church. Once again, I often think of myself as being a Renegade French Jesuit Organist (even though this is rather inaccurate)!! I'm not even close to that description externally -- although I am somewhat that way internally!! I think this world is ruled by some very powerful beings -- who have worldly agents doing business for them -- such as the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds. I hate to say it, but if it weren't them, it would be someone else. Same goes for bad (and good) presidents. They seem to mostly be employees of those previously mentioned very powerful beings. We might be more screwed than we can imagine. I'm mostly trying to understand, rather than change things -- at least for now.

Imagine, for a moment, the Queen of Sheba writing and speaking the Song of Solomon, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Isaiah, Christ's Object Lessons (E.G. White), Romans, Hebrews, and Ecclesiastes (KJV with an Ethiopian/English Accent -- in that order) -- in the Context of the New York Queen-Ship in the Latest Version of "V"!!! I am a bit different -- aren't I?! Read all of the above -- straight-through -- over and over -- with a Queen of Sheba mental-voice OR you might wish to try this out-loud (hopefully somewhere where no one will become angry with you)!! Think very, very deeply about this particular combination and order!! What if the Queen of Sheba (on a soul-basis) really DID write all of the above??!! What if this soul is also responsible for most of the Gothic-Architecture and Sacred Classical Music?? What if this soul invented sex??!! Would all of the above constitute a System of Intellectual-Philosophy, with Sensuality as It's Sphere?? I should stop!! Note especially what I did with what I consider to be the Cream of the Gospels -- and the Cream of the Writings of Ellen White!! I didn't do that lightly -- but it really fits in well with those particular Books of the Bible (in that particular order)!! You might have to really agonize over that one for a while!!  I sure did!! I have been attempting to think the God's and Goddess's thoughts after them, throughout this thread!! BTW -- those should be upper and lower case "G's" -- which would include the Real-Deal -- as well as the Angry and Jealous Gods and Goddesses!!! I met someone the other day, who reminded me of a composite of Rachel Constantine (in Contact), Lilly (in Star Trek: First Contact), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3RNsZvdYZQ and some other interesting individuals who fit in with the general theme of this thread (whatever THAT means)!! I met a similar individual quite some time ago, in the very same place. I don't wish to be more specific -- but if you read between the lines, I think you might know what I'm talking about. You know -- someone who is very understated, very intelligent, and very articulate -- and who you would NOT want to cross!! What if God Really is Fundamentally a Black Woman??!! Think about the theological implications and ramifications of the movie Dogma!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20CRw3XdETA I think I might've encountered another Rufus and a very young Last Scion!! Think Long and Hard About This Entire Post!! Now, I think I need to install some new windows on my home -- and clean-house!! A Perfect-Storm is Forecast!! Enough Said!! You might legitimately object to my methodology -- but honestly -- could I have really made my point with a Devotional-Book or a Doctoral-Dissertation???? If you wish to see God in a negative light, read the First-Dozen Books of the Bible -- and the Book of Revelation -- not to mention Church History. God is sometimes portrayed as being a Mean Old Man. Take another look at the Sistine Chapel. I'm trying to make a case for at least one God possibly being somewhat like the Queen of Sheba, Isis, Cleopatra, Mary, the Black Madonna, the Queen of England, Diana and Anna (in "V") -- and possibly being an Archangelic Queen of Heaven. My theory being that we might be dealing with a three-way War in Heaven between three Archangelic Queens of Heaven named Gabriel, Michael, and Lucifer -- and that on a very ancient basis -- they might be Reptilian Queens. I realize this is Abominable and Damnable Heresy -- but I continue to think that we should consider all possibilities -- regardless of how upsetting they might be. I continue to consider that I might be the worst of the worst (on a reincarnation-basis) going way, way, way back. Just an afterthought. What if Amen Ra led the Exodus against Isis -- and then Isis (in the form of the Queen of Sheba) regained power over Solomon -- but ruled secretly?? Who knows?? I sure don't!! I just think that the real solar system secrets are very hidden, dark, and nasty!! Tough to experience -- but the makings of some fine science-fiction!! BTW -- can you imagine EBE exclaiming "I Am NOT a Potted-Plant (Even Though I Am Chlorophyll-Based)!!" in the Final-Judgment??!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzWwNawZdCg What Would Guermo Mendoza Say?? What Would Bill Cooper Say?? Think About It!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jd_0ZChHmY Here is a revised study-list or focus-list:

This is NOT a My Way or the Highway approach. This is merely a place of beginning. If I were ever involved in City-State discussions regarding the future of Humanity in this Solar System -- I would wish to cover this territory in great detail. Once again, I'm flying-blind, and I have no idea who and/or what we're really dealing with -- and I have no idea who I really am (on a reincarnation-basis) despite my speculation and modeling. If a secret society ever brought me into the fold -- they would be quickly angered and disillusioned by my lack of respect and loyalty. I seriously imagine myself spending 99% of my time in two very small apartment/offices -- one under the City of London -- and the other under the Dark-Side of the Moon -- basically doing what I'm doing right now -- except with immaculate housekeeping and sophisticated supercomputers. I've seriously let myself go -- sort of like Gabriel in The Prophecy!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gia8EZkBDc4 I think the stakes are extremely high -- but I have no idea who I am, or what to do. You have NO idea what I REALLY think about. I often imagine a long history of Star Wars and Power Struggles. In such a context, the Absolute Authority of a Supreme Commander would be essential to survival -- yet once a New World or New Earth were conquered, Absolute Obedience and God's Prerogative might backfire, and cause the Rank and File to Revolt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgaWmIdxU_4 Think long and hard about what I just said. I truly think there are Gods and Goddesses in this universe -- yet they might not be what we might wish for them to be. Even if 90% of 90% of the theologies are utter bullshit -- this doesn't mean that there are not underlying theological realities which are very, very real. Please consider reading Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Isaiah, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, and Romans -- straight through -- over and over again -- in the imagined context of the apartment/offices I just mentioned. In all of this internet madness -- I have NOT waged war upon anyone. This has been sort of a "Discovery-Process" -- but it has torn me apart nearly every day for the past few years. As a teenager, I knew something was horribly wrong -- and not just with the world as a whole. Something was very wrong with the institutions tasked with "saving the world". I sort of took a couple of steps backward -- to try to see the "big-picture" -- and I seemed to fall off the edge of the world. I didn't like the view -- and I never recovered. Things just kept getting worse and worse. What really scared me was seeing some of the best and brightest theologians and pastors looking very, very disillusioned and defeated during the 1980's. Despite everything, I still think that the Bible might be a very deep and complex puzzle to solve. I once heard Chuck Swindoll (at his church -- not on the radio) seem to say that the Bible needed to be completely solved, before we could move on. I'm not sure if he said it quite that way -- but that was the impression I got. I heard Robert H. Schuller (at his church -- not on television) say that it was time to move on -- and I think I know what he meant by that. He offered a fresh and new alternative to the old and negative Traditional Biblical approach. Unfortunately, something was very wrong with BOTH approaches.

I frankly think that there might not be a good and right way to do politics and religion. This infowar might get worse than we can possibly imagine -- and when certain factions and individuals get exposed and deposed -- they might retaliate in some unbelievably destructive ways. I am very, very afraid. I really am. I fear that we might truly be on the brink of extinction. But Siriusly, even if the whole damn solar system gets turned into one big asteroid-belt -- this has been sort of fun -- hasn't it??? Please say 'YES"!! In many ways, it's been so sad, that it's almost been funny!! Almost. Perhaps I should just let this go. You get the idea from what I've posted so far. Do I really need to post all of those Books of the Bible?? Would anyone read them?? That's a good one!! I'm not saying to not read the rest of the Bible. I'm just saying that the approach presented in this thread might be highly valuable to the right researchers. I'm sort of going underground, because I think this world is going completely opposite the direction I'm going. I think I might've been sent here to do specific tasks -- which I probably didn't do. Two tasks come to mind: 1. Preaching Daniel and Revelation. 2. Ending the World. Wasn't THAT a strange thing to say??!! I just wish to make it perfectly clear that Ethics, Law, and Order are near (or at the top) of my "To Do List" -- and that a lot of what is in the Bible and the Church does NOT seem ethical to me. Further, I support Incarceration, Work, and Education -- rather than Extermination and Damnation. I guess I like the idea of a Nice and Tight Solar System Ship -- with Structure and Discipline -- but NO Cruel and Unusual Punishment. One more thing -- what if those Five Books I was supposed to have written were turned into Sixty-Six Books??!! But what if the other Thirty-Two Books are necessary for those Five-Books to really make sense???!!! I have NO idea!! However, the Ancient Egyptian Deity seemed to say that there was a HUGE amount of withheld information in and around the Vatican -- and that I had historically been supportive of humanity -- and that I supported the concept of grappling with scripture, rather than imposing orthodoxy (or something like that). They seemed to say that humanity should not have been saved -- and that people deserved to die. They seemed to say that Theocratic and Socialistic Rule worked much better than our human attempts at freedom. They also seemed to say that Other-Than-Human Beings were vastly superior to Human-Beings. Once, as I talked to them on the phone, I got the impression that they were either in a Spaceship or a DUMB -- and I thought I heard an Other-Than-Human in the background!! I said to say "HELLO" to them!! Enough Said!! I'm honestly not making this stuff up!! But now I'm honestly going to try to stop posting one more time!! You have your homework!! Study hard -- and see what YOU think!! Imagine Zo'or and Da'an (from Earth: Final Conflict) ruling Earth from the Dark-Side of the Moon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAHJcWjbq1M What if this is sort of how things have been for thousands of years? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLiFtOUsVUY What if Job and the Gospels are Historical-Fiction?? Would this mean 'No God -- and No Salvation'?? I think not. I think we need to grow-up as a civilization -- and stop acting like children. But if we are treated as children -- we'll probably keep acting like children. I continue to think that all options are highly flawed -- and that the people of the world will be highly upset -- no matter what changes are made (or not made). What if there are three Christs?? Gabriel-Christ -- Michael-Christ -- and Lucifer-Christ?? What if (in antiquity) they were a lot like Ra in Stargate (complete with disk and horns headgear)? What if there were three Sun-Gods -- and only One Sun?? There can be only One Ra -- right?? Might that be what the War in Heaven was (and is) all about?? Three Fundamentally Differing Approaches to Physicality and Governance?? Might there be One Arrogant God Surrounded by Angry and Jealous Gods?? The following is an illustration of a previous proposal (which I have withdrawn). Wouldn't this make EVERYONE livid with rage??!! Still -- it might make for some interesting science-fiction -- don't you think??!!


The United States of the Solar System might be a cross between the City-States (with an emphasis on the United States of America) -- the United Nations -- and the Secret Government. The Solar System Council of Churches might be the Prime Solar System Watchdogs and Advisors (but without direct authority and power). The Solar System Supreme Court might prove to be the Real Solar System Backbone (with the Perfect Laws of the Lord -- and Very Little Turnover). The King and Queen might be Glorified-Versions of the Pope of Rome and the Queen of England. God might be a Glorified-Version of the Best of All of Us. He and/or She might just sit back and enjoy the show -- showing-up only when necessary -- and laying-down the law only when absolutely necessary -- as an Authority of Last Resort. Would this model properly observe the 'Sovereignty of God' and 'Responsible Human Freedom'?? This is tricky territory -- to say the least. What if the following image were of God (Resting on the Sabbath)??!! How might one define and observe the Sabbath on the Moon?? "Remember to ALWAYS Have a Sabbath-Attitude. I Am of Peace. Always."


Just for the record -- I aspire to be a combination of orthodoxymoron (fictional), Palmer Joss (fictional), 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFcHpamkHII 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcqaHxI5-P8 Ellie Arroway (fictional), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SbKE_U4b7U Rachel Constantine (fictional -- hard to find any clips or images -- interesting!!), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVn90-83NQQ S.R. Hadden (fictional), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k30TU1qFK_4  and Jack MacDonald (non-fictional). I could've used many other names -- but those just popped into my mind. In other words (and other worlds), I'd love to be a Philanthropic Galactic Jack MacDonald -- and I sincerely hope that in other lifetimes I have been (and will be) just that. I'm really not kidding about that 600 square-foot office-apartment -- but I have no idea where it should appropriately be. Perhaps it might need to be inside of one of those Piloted Bad@ssteroids (with superluminal and intergalactic capabilities)!!! "He Rarely Lands for Anyone!!" Perhaps I should be careful what I ask for!! 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6oD0tZVrRg 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0K46C82v9o I Truly Love ALL of You. It Is Finished. Now I Can at Least Try to Go Back to Some Form of Normal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsTBbAMikPQ This Was a Test. This Was Only a Test. I am unbelievably embarrassed and traumatized by this mess. I just hope those with greater stability and resources can benefit in some way from my madness -- which is hopefully temporary. Sorry for the Misunderstanding. One More Thing. I don't know if I have a claim on anything, or not, but I claim that which is rightfully mine (in the broadest and deepest sense of that sentence) -- in a timely, proper, and appropriate manner. What a strange thing to say!! Now I'm going away (effective December 28, 2013). Namaste and Godspeed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B1EAeh6H_I

Thank-you magamud. I loved the beginning of 2001: A Space Odyssey -- and I was bothered by the ending. This stuff is sort of like a religion. I mean all of the material on this site -- grappled-with on a daily-basis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESVeWAR3wsU It's not for very many of us -- and I would never become an evangelist for this approach to life -- yet some of us must attempt to deal with the unthinkable on a regular-basis. Remember that Project Camelot interview with Bill Ryan and Charles (City of London Insider with his back to the camera)?? 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2KDtqIP7kk 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qTBlKjvbX4 If I remember correctly, he spoke of the insiders as almost being part of an unorthodox religion (or something to that effect). This whole thread could be some sort of a religion -- but it wouldn't bring one happiness and security!! Just the opposite!! I just learned of someone committing suicide -- and it deeply saddened me. People were crying. It made me think of the responsibility we have to be gentle with what we think about and discuss. I have no idea why this teenager committed suicide -- but I'm sure I'll learn more in the coming days. The contents of this website (and this thread) could push certain people over the edge. It's pretty upsetting stuff -- in many instances. Should there be some sort of internet censorship?? A United States of the Solar System (in my idealistic conceptualizations) would NOT be an 'Anything Goes' affair. The concept of Responsibility would be deeply ingrained in the laws and law-enforcement. It would be a somewhat strict version of freedom -- or should be anyway. Once again -- PLEASE Agonize Over the Relationship Between Divine-Sovereignty and Responsible Human Freedom. This is an incredibly complex and problematic area of research.

I guess I'm trying to be an Outsider City-State Observer with an Insider-Perspective (complete with a code of ethics and silence). I think there must be a small number of people who are not insiders -- yet who know nearly as much as some insiders -- and know how to remain silent and contrite -- if you know what I mean. I desire that certain individuals study this thread -- and then say and do nothing -- other than simply knowing. I truly think that positive change might result from such an approach. My intentions are to do absolutely nothing with this thread -- and to mostly go in a completely different direction. My work with this material is mostly over. If any of you were bracing for some sort of onslaught -- you can forget it. You don't need to worry about me -- but you should worry about the general-public waking-up on the wrong-side of the bed. I really could make a Prime-Time Mega-Church Quality Case for the Experience of Jesus as Lord in Modernity. I truly could. But I have tried to deal with a lot of contrarian, crazy, and upsetting possibilities -- to attempt to consider as many possibilities as possible -- especially in light of the currently raging infowar -- and in view of my personal hell -- relative to the Great Controversy Between Christ and Satan in the Conflict of the Ages. I've tried to finish up on a somewhat positive note -- yet I am calling for careful and honest research -- rather than tear-jerking testimonials. I realize that sentence will rub a lot of people the wrong way -- yet shouldn't tear-jerking testimonials be built upon the solid foundation of careful and honest research??? Please take a closer look at the contents of this website -- in light of the following books of the Bible:

1. Genesis
2. Job
3. Psalms
4. Song of Solomon
5. Proverbs
6. Ecclesiastes
7. Isaiah
8. Matthew
9. Mark
10. Luke
11. John

Again, I am not claiming to have the truth. I am simply suggesting certain concepts and areas of research -- which a select few serious researchers might benefit from. I am not an evangelist for any of this. I simply wish to help save the world -- without destroying the world. I think the areas I have touched upon within this website are NOT for the casual-observer or the feeble-minded faint of heart. Researchers Beware. Please consider reading Genesis, Job, Song of Solomon, Psalms, Proverbs, Isaiah, Ecclesiastes, and Matthew -- over and over again -- with the understanding that this material MIGHT be Historical-Fiction which was intended to be a Mental and Spiritual Exercise. Again, take a close look at the Gospel Source 'Q'. What if it were originally part of the Wisdom-Literature of the Old Testament?? Consider carefully the concept of the Teachings of Isis. One last time, I am NOT an Egyptologist or a Biblical-Scholar. I've simply been thinking out-loud on this site. I've tried to communicate over and over and over that this is Fantasy-Land -- which nevertheless is intended to lead people in the general direction of the truth -- yet where there is no claim to truth. This is simply intended to help the right people (and other than people) think in unconventional and potentially constructive ways. I keep leaning toward the Wisdom-Books in the Old-Testament and the Teachings Attributed to Jesus in the New-Testament -- rather than any particular religion. And mind you -- this is simply a Historical Place of Beginning a Theological Dialogue. I tend to think that the God of This World controls everything (more or less) -- and that they are a mixture of good and evil. I went to school with someone who is now a Mega-Church Preacher -- and he helped produce a documentary which was critical of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, called "The Spirit Behind the Church". I tend to think that the God of This World is the Spirit Behind Every Church. I further tend to think that this might be Lucifer. I became painfully aware that participation in a church was not a pure search for truth. In many cases, the church was in opposition to a pure search for truth. There are probably legitimate and illegitimate reasons for this. I'm frankly not trying to condemn. I'm attempting to determine the next best steps for all-concerned. Is it too much to ask for some sort of a detailed scholarly critique of ALL of my internet posting -- with a reasonable opportunity for me (and perhaps some skilled representation) to respond?? Please remember that my internet posting was mostly inquiring and reforming in nature -- rather than being absolute and normative. It was ALL intended to help ALL of us to think -- and to consider as many possibilities as possible. However, I KNOW that EVERYTHING I have said, done, written, and posted WILL (and probably already HAS) been used against me (in some rather sinister and nefarious ways). Some things never change. Please take another close look at:

1. The Hatred, Violence, Murder, and Mayhem in the Bible.
2. The Crusades.
3. The Inquisition.
4. The Religious and Political Lies, Misuses, and Abuses Throughout History (Recorded and Otherwise).
5. The Corruption, Wars, Terrorism, Torture, and Mass-Murder (Secular and Sacred) Throughout History (Recorded and Otherwise).
6. The Destruction, Misuse, and Abuse of Birds, Fish, Animals, and the Environment Throughout History (Recorded and Otherwise).
7. The Theft of any portion (or all) of This Solar System and Any Ideas, Literature, Plans, Technology, etc, etc, etc -- by Anyone (in or around This Solar System).

I get the very strong and determined impression that I am NOT liked or loved -- and that exactly the opposite describes the true state of affairs. I get the very strong and determined impression that I have been supernaturally oppressed throughout my life -- and that this particular incarnation has NOT been a fair test. I get the very strong and determined impression that a Pre-Determined Outcome has been desired and worked-toward throughout history -- which is NOT a nice and happy one. Please Stop Ignoring My Repeated Requests for Answers and Resolution. And Please Remember That There is a HUGE Difference Between an Answer -- and a CONVINCING ANSWER. Even at this late date, I don't know who the good-guys and bad-guys really are. Also, the good-guys might've been worse than the bad-guys if they had been in their shoes. I include myself in all of the above. I truly do not know how good or bad I've been throughout history. I don't even know how good or bad I really have been throughout this present incarnation -- especially when one considers Sins of Omission -- in addition to Sins of Commission. Once again, I seek Resolution More Than Condemnation and Retribution. I wish to end any Stupid Cycles of Hatred, Prejudice, Conquest, Retribution, etc, etc, etc.

Just for the record -- Post #676 went missing for a while!! The post was completely blank -- but when I tried to repost that post from another source -- the post magically reappeared!! This is just another episode of "My Crazy Life". Another person of interest appeared, with a very convincing Jesus Testimonial -- yet the circumstances and the manner of the encounter left me wondering if this was just one more encounter with someone who was not just another person. I have spoken with several persons of interest -- which I have not mentioned. One reminded me of Michael in Legion. They were very low-key and subtle -- but from time to time they have asked questions, or made comments, which made me suspect that I was not dealing with just another person. Another individual reminded me of Starbuck's Mom (in Battlestar Galactica) -- Kate (in East of Eden) -- Dr. Mataros (in Earth: Final Conflict) -- and a Chain-Smoking New York City Philosophy Professor!! They were trenchantly theologically and politically conversant -- and I frankly couldn't get a word in edgewise!! Another individual was extremely mellow and low-key -- yet very knowledgeable concerning fringe topics. They also said things, from time to time, which made my hair stand on-end. One individual reminds me a bit of Erica Evans in "V". Ever heard of "V" Envy??!! I was told by one person of interest that an important vote had occurred -- and it sounded as if the outcome was not good -- but I don't know what that vote was really all about. I tend to not fish for information with certain individuals. I was told that people would be shocked (or words to that effect) when they saw what those who were loyal to God got. I was also told there would be pandemonium (in connection with I know not what). I just think that something went catastrophically wrong in antiquity -- and that something catastrophically wrong is occurring in modernity (especially regarding the existence and governance of the human race). One individual spoke of seeing Japanese-Chinese World War II Human Experimentation Films -- and they didn't seem to be too broken-up about it. One individual spoke approvingly and very knowingly about Adolph Hitler and the Nazis. One individual asked me if I knew who had ordered the JFK hit?! I gave an answer -- and they didn't respond. Several other individuals exhibited characteristics which made me think they were somehow associated or knowledgeable concerning 'Things-Inside' or the 'Shadowy-Underworld'.

One online comment suggested that I could go anywhere -- while the commenter suggested that they had to remain here. They weren't more specific -- and I thought nothing of it at the time -- but now I'm wondering if I'm really a fallen-human terrestrial -- or an unfallen-extraterrestrial?! I really don't seem to fit here on Earth -- and I've felt somewhat at home with a lot of the more upsetting information on the internet -- especially regarding aliens, space, theology, etc. I seriously doubt that I'm Michael and/or Lilith --  yet one never knows?! Listen to Sherry Shriner's shows, starting with December 30, 2013 -- and just let show after show play -- noting especially what she says about Lilith, Adam, Eve, and Fallen-Angels. It's almost as if she were there!! http://www.sherrytalkradio.com/ Again, I'm mostly heading for the exit presently. Under the right circumstances, I think I could handle a helluva lot of upsetting revelations -- but I do NOT intend to push and dig. I am VERY disillusioned, disoriented, despondent, fatigued, etc, etc, etc. I could move many times faster than I am presently -- but I'd rather not -- and now I'm mostly stopping. I'd obviously wish to see things improve exponentially -- yet the Insiders in the 'Shadowy-Underworld' would Eat Me Alive (figuratively and perhaps literally) if I were directly involved with them -- arguing and fighting over and about this and that. I still think I might shine as a back of the room 'Observer-Analyst-Smart@ss' -- but probably not in this incarnation. Perhaps not in any incarnation. I truly think my days in this solar system might be coming to a close (and not a happy-ending). I was honestly given the suggestion that I should write my Memoirs. It was also suggested that my deep-thinking had undone me (or done me in). When I suggested the concept of 'Every Day Being a Sabbath Day' or 'Remembering to Always Have a Sabbath-Attitude' it was made clear THAT wasn't going to happen. It was suggested that someone would attempt to govern Humanity -- and that they would fail -- which would be followed by an extermination. It was suggested that Humanity and Human-Nature were bad things. It was suggested (on the other hand) that changes were taking place throughout the solar system. It was suggested that Humanity had done-well -- while at the same time suggesting that things continued to get worse and worse -- and that things were a house of cards. I could frankly go on and on and on -- but This Present Quest is Over -- and I'm moving-on. Namaste and Godspeed.

"This stuff is sort of like a religion."
Any awareness that proceeds out of the matrix will be perceived as Dogma.  As lucifers light splits from the Fathers light.  Duality.  And its no easy thing to discern as to why Gods grace is so important.  The deep thinkers of Buddhism could not figure it out, amongst many others.


"he spoke of the insiders as almost being part of an unorthodox religion"

The insiders are nothing more then the bridge or Jaccobs ladder to evil or good.  Remember they are both singularities making up the cross.  Thats all the shadow govt stuff.  We are connected very deeply to both lines.  That is why so much crap is dumped on the superficiality of lucifers light.  To cover up Gods light.  

"It made me think of the responsibility we have to be gentle"
I agree, this is not easy to navigate as the light will destroy darkness and the delusion is intertwined like a cancer.  So in affect if you kill the cancer you can possibly kill the body.  So it becomes a balance, a forge or fire to burn or fever away the evil.  

"Should there be some sort of internet censorship??"
This is what evil is capitalizing on using "protection" as a means to get more involved with people.  The same dynamics with the NSA, police state, and the state in general.  Its to keep you safe.  But I think its important to warn people of the information to get them ready for what could happen.  Similar to Merlin warning Morgana?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZCtCQ2BYdU

"'Anything Goes' affair."
You are seeking Ortho and I salute you.  You are seeking the mind of God.  How does goodness manage the vastness, the infinity?



Tetzaveh  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetzaveh

Thank-you magamud. I really am going away. I'm really just wrapping things up. I keep thinking about the characters in the opening space-scenes of 2001: A Space Odyssey as being somewhat Idealistic-Elites. I really have zero problems with very smart and tough movers and shakers -- but I keep sensing that we are dealing with something sinister and destructive in this solar system -- which even the most powerful human movers and shakers are unable to circumvent or overcome. I have no idea regarding the ancient and spiritual components of all of this -- but I continue to think of Earth as a Prison Planet in Rebellion. I wish to once again make it clear that I am NOT insubordinate and rebellious to a truly kind and loving God and Angelic-Host. I'm simply exploring the concept of the God of This World -- and an Agency of Evil Spirits. I am NOT in bed with anyone. I frankly don't know who to trust, and who not to trust -- so I trust no one -- not even myself or the popular representations of God and the Angels. I truly think we are easily deceived. When the Bible says "Deceiveth the Whole World" -- I take that quite literally. I'll just keep imagining an idealistic integration of the United Nations -- the City-States -- and the Moon -- with the absolutely best and brightest in the Top-Jobs. I have absolutely no problem with delegation and facilitation. Solar System Governance should probably be the most Boring and Austere Activity in the Whole Solar System. The Top-Jobs should NOT be sought-after in the same manner as people seek to be Senators, Congresspersons, and Presidents. A United States of the Solar System should NOT be a Circus and a Cesspool of Smoke, Mirrors, and Corruption. Again, Ethics, Law, and Law-Enforcement should be central. I am attempting to consider the Military in terms of a Special-Case of Law-Enforcement -- which might be almost entirely non-destructive and non-lethal. Reasonable Surveillance is probably unavoidable -- but the methodology must be beyond reproach. I respect National-Heritage and Local-Customs. I'm not out to screw the Russians, the Chinese, the Indians, the Koreans, the Africans, the Mexicans, Muslims, the Hindus, the Jews, the State of Israel, the Roman Catholics, et al. I have been speaking in terms of the United Nations, the City-States, and the Moon -- because they seem to be the biggest parts of the problems -- and the potential solutions. I am aware of the concept of the world being run from Jerusalem -- and I am neutral regarding that sort of thing. I think that whole thing could precipitate the Battle of Armageddon (or something similar). I still don't see a problem with a Temple beneath Jerusalem (rather than destroying portions of the existing city). Don't Be Frightened. I Mean No Harm. I found the following Biblical passage from Isaiah 66:22-24 to be somewhat interesting:

22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make , shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain .  23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.  24 And they shall go forth , and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die , neither shall their fire be quenched ; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

Many people worship God on the Sabbath (technically Sundown Friday to Sundown Saturday) -- but how many people worship God on each and every New Moon??!! Jesus does not repeat the Sabbath commandment, and does not tell people to go to church -- nor does he tell people to worship God on each New Moon!! Paul tells people (in Romans 14:5) that 'one man esteemeth one day above another. Another man esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.' Interesting. Sorry for the Biblical Trivia -- but I truly think that a proper study of the Bible is directly related to what we discuss in the Mists. But be advised that this is often NOT a fun study. I've tentatively and quietly suggested that we should 'Remember to Always Have a Sabbath Attitude' -- and that Every Day Should be a Working Sabbath Day. In other words -- one should involve themselves in devotional, scholarly, and church activities -- as needed (seven days a week) -- to maintain a Sabbath Attitude ALWAYS. "The Secular Must Become Sacred -- and the Sacred Must Become Secular." I Am of Peace ALWAYS.

One should take the title My Final Bible-Thumping! allegorically rather than literally. It doesn't pay to be too literalistic. It just doesn't pay. I want to make this perfectly clear: I Am NOT a Bible-Thumper!! I Am NOT Azazel -- but I MIGHT be a Demonized-Ram and/or an Ancient Egyptian Deity!! Good Luck figuring THAT One Out!! I think people should study the Bible -- without quoting it -- or hitting people over the head with it. However, the Bible seems to contain a mixture of good and evil. The ethics range from exemplary to reprehensible. Here is something frightening to consider. What if the Original and Unpardonable Sin were the Creation of Male and Female Human Physicality -- and the Facilitation of Freedom -- Disobeying the Will and Orders of the Very Traditional Ancient Other-Than-Human God and/or Gods?! What if the Ancient Garden of Eden were a Monotheistic-Matriarchy which allowed for Responsible Freedom and Pluralism -- and which was cracked down upon by the following events (among others perhaps) occurring simultaneously (or in rapid succession)??!!

1. Alien Invasion.
2. War in Heaven.
3. Piloted-Asteroid Caused Flood.
4. Expulsion from the Garden of Eden.
5. The Tower of Babel Incident.
6. The Fall of Humanity.
7. Detrimental Genetic-Manipulation.
8. The Exodus.
9. The Establishment of a Harsh Patriarchal Monotheistic Ra-Legion.
10. A Harsh and Horrific History Documented in The Gods of Eden and Rule by Secrecy (among others).

What if we have been dealing with a Great Controversy Between Amen-Ra and Isis-Hathor (in a simplified manner of speaking) in a Religious and Political Conflict of the Ages?! I sometimes wonder if the Ancient Egyptian Deity and Myself were Ancient-Friends turned Bitter-Rivals?! The Ancient Egyptian Deity seemed to indicate that there were those above them who gave them orders. They said that we had 'Fought Side by Side' -- and that I was 'One of Two Human Friends.' They said they 'Could Snap Their Fingers -- and I'd be Dead' -- and that they were 'Tired of Keeping Me Alive'. They said that I was 'Lucky to be Alive'. They spoke of Demigods and an Ancient War. They also said that they 'Liked to Hear Me Swear' -- and I had never used bad-language in their presence!! There was a time -- a few years ago -- when I swore more than I care to admit -- in private. I've been around a lot of people who swore reprehensibly -- and some of it probably rubbed-off on me. I've pretty-much stopped this nasty-habit -- but I still feel bad about that aspect of my past. I never swore at anyone. Well, maybe once or twice!! Why is swearing deemed to be such a mortal-sin -- by people who look the other way at all of the corruption, crime, murder, and mayhem occurring historically (even in the Bible and Church-History) and presently?! They seem to welcome the Murder and Mayhem prophesied in the Bible -- probably because they feel Favored by God -- such that they will be spared the Wrath and Judgments of God -- while their hated neighbors get what's coming to them!! A Wonderful Christian once told me "They Had Their Chance" -- and this was referring to the Torture and Extermination of the Vast Majority of Humanity -- Complete with the Extermination of the Soul -- such that they would Be as Though They Had Not Been. I am aware of the concept of the Righteous Being Caused to Forget Their Frightful Experiences, so that they might enjoy the Bliss of Heaven, without being bothered by the remembrance of those who didn't make it. But really, shouldn't we keep meticulous historical records, so that we might remember and learn from our mistakes -- and NOT repeat our errors?? Do the Gods really have to be considered perfect -- even if they are mixtures of good and evil?? Can't we just admit that all of us are screw-ups -- in one way or another -- and just move on??? If God became insane because of horrific and unfathomable problems -- would they no longer be God -- especially once they had recovered their sanity?? What if Atlas Dropped the Ball?? What if Atlas Shrugged?? What Would Ayn Rand Say??

One Person of Interest seemed to say that Jesus Had Failed. They also seemed to say that Humanity had Improved -- and that God Had Gotten Worse -- or something to that effect. What if Osiris, Horus, and Set are the Same Soul?? What if Lilith, Isis, Cleopatra, and the Queen of Sheeba are all the Same Soul?? What if the Angelic Angers, Jealousies, and Prejudices are seemingly Illogical and Unreasonable to Earth-Humanity -- but Quite Reasonable and Rational to a Very Ancient and Traditional Universe?? In Earth: Final Conflict, I think I remember that the Ancient Taelons were better than the Contemporary Taelons. Ma'el was evidently better than Zo'ar and Da'an -- or something to that effect. What if BOTH Humanity and Divinity are in Deep-Trouble?? Why do we often have an 'All or Nothing' View of God -- wherein God has to be Perfect and All-Powerful -- or Not Exist?? True-Believers v Rabid-Atheists?? What Fun!! I get the feeling that in previous-lives I might've been a lot better (or a lot worse) than I've been in this pathetic and stupid incarnation. But if I am a Soul of Note -- and This World and Race are in HUGE Trouble -- might it be somewhat understandable why I have had so much seemingly undeserved misery and suffering in this present incarnation?? I was quite reflective and sad as a child -- and other kids were quite nasty toward me in connection with that. 'Christian' Teachers yelled at me (in almost a Demonic-Manner) -- for no reasonable reason -- in front of the other students. A Manager yelled at me (in front of a customer) -- for no reasonable reason. I have been misused and abused on the internet -- for no reasonable reason. A Mega-Church Preacher yelled at me -- in front of dozens of church-goers -- for no reasonable reason. I could go on an on and on -- but I've had quite enough for tonight -- and perhaps for all eternity. Perhaps All of Us Have Had Our Chance. Has the Test Come to Every Soul?? Is it high-time to Stand Before a Holy-God (Without a Mediator)?? What if Some of Us Wish to NOT Have a God?? What if this wish were granted?? What if having No God (in a very harsh and dangerous universe) would be the beginning of the end?? What if we need to have a God, in order to have any hope of surviving and thriving (even if that God does not meet our high and exacting standards and demands)?? What if the Most Harsh God were also the Most Polished and Charming God?? You Can Serve the Devil -- or You Can Serve the Lord -- but You Have to Serve Somebody!! Choose Wisely. Did Most of Us Choose Poorly in the Garden of Eden?? What if the Best God Wasn't Good Enough for Most of Us -- and Got a Real Sonofabitch Instead?? I really don't care if I make you mad -- as long as I make you think. But one more time -- you might need to study this thread on a daily-basis, for months or years, to really get-it. I don't think I 'get-it'. Not yet -- but I will -- and I sense that I might get-it in the end -- legitimately or illegitimately, I know not -- but I suspect that when the Universal Powers That Be Decide -- whether one thinks they are right or wrong -- or whether they are right or wrong -- is irrelevant and inadmissible. Consider taking a long, hard look at the Dr. Who -- Trial of a Time-Lord series of episodes. It might have everything to do with this particular post.

I'm going silent for at least one year, so please keep posting, but don't expect a response. But while I'm here, let me just say that I really scared myself today, thinking about how the solar system might've been run historically -- how it might be run presently -- and how it might be run in the future. I simply think we need to become realistic concerning all of the above. I think things might be tougher and nastier than most of us can imagine. When I think about a United States of the Solar System, it scares the hell out of me, and makes me feel very weak, stupid, depressed, and even despondent. I have no idea regarding what REALLY goes into running this solar system. I'm stopping posting, because my thoughts and words seem to be making things worse. I really think a Perfect Solar System Storm is likely. Anyway, regarding the Bible, please consider the possibility of the Old Testament Wisdom Books and the New Testament Gospel Source 'Q' being part of Wisdom Literature in Ancient Egypt. Then, think of the relationship between Wisdom and Goddess. Consider the two following Bible Study Lists:

Idealistic Wisdom, Goddess, or Isis (Hypothetically) Leaning List aka Law I:

1. Book of Enoch (regarding origins).
2. Job.
3. Psalms.
4. Song of Solomon.
5. Proverbs.
6. Ecclesiastes.
7. Isaiah.
8. Matthew and/or 'Q'.
9. Book of Enoch (regarding prophecy and eschatology).

Hardline and Harsh God of This World (Amen Ra Hypothetically) Leaning List aka Law II:

1. Genesis (regarding origins).
2. Exodus.
3. Leviticus.
4. Numbers.
5. Deuteronomy.
6. Jeremiah.
7. Ezekiel.
8. Daniel.
9. Revelation (regarding prophecy and eschatology).

My current theory is that Amen Ra (Law II) cracked-down on Isis (Law I) and that Isis might've been somewhat similar to the Egyptian-Queen Cleopatra -- and Amen Ra might've been somewhat similar to one of the harsh Roman Emperors and/or Pontiffs. Try watching:

1. Cleopatra (1963).
2. The Agony and the Ecstasy (1965).
3. "V" (1983-85 and 2009-10).

What if Joseph was an Ancient Egyptian Jesus?! Joseph + Jesus = Josephus?! Genesis = Genes of Isis?! Are the Red-Letter Teachings of Jesus really the Teachings of Isis?! Look for parallels and similarities. I still think that Political and Theological Science-Fiction should be pursued in a Most Excellent Manner. This is tough-sailing, and the infowar might make this pursuit almost unbearable. I truly cannot stand the heat in the kitchen or the rabbit-hole -- so I'm getting out. But please try reading extensively from Ralph Ellis, Gerald Massey, Joseph Farrell, Malachi Martin, Ellen White, et al -- not because I think they have the truth (or that I have the truth). I simply think this might be a necessary mental and spiritual exercise -- which might lead to some aspects of the truth. But once again, don't expect this to make you happy or wealthy -- and do not talk about this stuff at work (unless you wish to travel and meet new people). Sorry for being somewhat repetitious BUT please consider attempting to shoehorn the Book of Enoch -- Job -- Song of Solomon -- Psalms -- Proverbs -- Isaiah -- Ecclesiastes -- and Matthew -- All Into the Book of Genesis!! Please remember that this is just a fun mental exercise. This thread is mostly intended to help us understand the Way Things Are -- and the Way Things Work -- rather than to Change Everything and Turn the World Upside Down. Consider a Comprehensive and Panoramic View of Life, the Universe, and Everything -- on a Continual and Ongoing Basis -- Even if You Do Not Like the View. BTW -- I think someone was in my home while I was away a couple of nights ago. It seemed pretty obvious. The house remains a mess -- but I've sort of left it that way, to serve as a Red-Herring. Appearances Are Everything -- and it makes my Crazy-Faking that much easier. It didn't start out that way -- but when I realized what was happening behind the scenes, in connection with my internet posting, I thought I'd play a little game!! It's been fun -- but now it's time to get Sirius. Game Over. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-sFPLGwwYg One last time -- I have very little idea of how much of this thread is true or false -- and that's the truth. I've simply been trying to stir things up to make ALL of US Think. Namaste and Godspeed.

I don't think we have any accurate idea of who we really are -- or regarding the true nature of the universe (or even the solar system). We might all be in for some very rude awakenings. Just don't wake-up on the wrong side of the bed -- even if it turns out that we've been sleeping with the devil for thousands of years. I'm going to go way, way, way, way out on a broken limb with the following speculation -- and I don't know where to begin or end -- because it is insanely farfetched speculation. It has to do with Michael, Lilith, the Creation of Some Version of Humanoid Beings -- the writing of certain books of the Bible -- and the War in Heaven. Should the Song of Solomon really have been named the Song of Lilith?? What if someone told you that you were Michael, Lilith, Isis, and Cleopatra (among others) -- that you created some version of humanity -- and that you wrote five books of the Bible?? I suspect that someone has been playing massive mind-games with me -- but there have been various hints from various sources, that some or all of the above might be true for me on a soul-basis. I realize this qualifies me many times over for that secret mental institution -- but I am quite sober and reasonable -- although being this far down the rabbit-hole makes life completely insane 24/7 -- which is why I just whisper and whimper on this thread -- and why I honestly keep trying to remain silent and contrite. I'm sure there are those who sincerely hope that I shut-up -- so they don't have to shut me up -- and I'm NOT kidding. On the other hand -- back-channel communication might be sort of a safety-valve. What if Lilith wrote the Song of Solomon, Psalms, Proverbs, Isaiah, and at least one of the Gospels (or at least the teachings contained within the Gospels)?? What if Solomon was Sol-Amen-Ra?? What if the Queen of Sheba was Lilith?? The Exodus and the Reigns of King David and King Solomon are VERY Interesting!! Especially Behind the Scenes!! Remember that strange message I posted a couple of months ago?? I received the following message (unedited) under VERY Strange Circumstances:

You were Incarnate 2000 Years ago and let Us also say that You brought the Prime Creator's Message to the People (Big "G"). After You had been exiled to the far east in those times - A Usurper (Jesus Cesarian) was set up to draw others away from Your Message and to corrupt It. 300 Years Later - The Council of Nicea was convened by a Roman Emperor (Constantine) to reduce the understandings You'd brought to the People - From approximately 37 Books down to 5. Under the Tutelage of these Controller's - Classical Christian Religion was enacted and forced upon the People over the next 1700 Years...The True Teachings of Yeshua are being held in the Vatican Archives so that They can remain on Top as Controllers (See Stigmata: We need no Men or Buildings to reach the Prime Creator was the Thrust of the Teachings kept secret - The Path within). Does this then mean that the Man  that originally brought the Message was trying to deceive Us? Or is It rather that the Controller's perverted the Understandings that You'd brought Us previously on Purpose? Simply put - I would say - The Later...This is the Crux and one They have worked hard to convolute...

What do you think about such a thing?? I did NOT make this up!! I found it in my word-processor!! I just stumbled upon it -- and I could've easily missed it!! The Ancient Egyptian Deity called me Michael -- but I have NO Idea whether there is any substance to that, or not. I've simply used various messages, suggestions, and sources as conceptual-crutches for modeling the unknowable. I'm NOT going to spell this out -- but I could go into a lot more detail. Let's just say that I don't really care one way or the other. It honestly makes very little difference to me. In fact, it could be a VERY bad thing if it were true. I honestly have NO Idea who I might really be on a soul-basis -- and I'm NOT going to try very hard to find out!! My concern is how to help make things work correctly and properly in this solar system -- and possibly beyond -- and this seems to presently be an impossible dream. I honestly keep seeing myself in a 600 square-foot office-apartment and think-tank of probably less than a dozen researchers -- on an ongoing basis -- lifetime after lifetime -- probably inside some Sport-Model Piloted-Asteroid the Size of Phobos. They supposedly like me on Phobos (for who knows what reasons)!! I might've spent a wild-weekend there in a previous incarnation!! BTW -- note that in the most recent "V" the V-Ships have surfaces that are sort of asteroid-like AND in the fourth episode, a bunch of V-Ships are on the edge of the solar system (in close proximity to something which looks like it might be Nibiru)!! What if Anna (in 'V') and Lilith (in literature and images) are depicted in ways which do not reflect who they might be (or might've been) historically and presently?? I continue to say that I liked the best aspects of Anna and the V's -- but hated the worst parts. What hidden-agendas might be seen in various Sci-Fi series and movies (including 'V')?? Once again, consider re-watching the first four episodes of the most recent 'V' series. Really, most of this thread is closely related to this final post. You would need to look very, very closely to really 'get-it' -- and I don't intend to make things any clearer than I already have. I have purposely made things somewhat obtuse and obscure. I need to say it one more time -- that I have ZERO CONFIDENCE in myself in this particular incarnation -- but that I think this particular thread is VERY interesting if you REALLY study it -- and read between the lines. Once again, in many ways, I am an irresponsible idiot -- and that's probably being kind. But in other ways, I seem to be capable of significant insights in the proper context. But I'm not quick and sharp at all. I'm really very miserable and sluggish -- and I'm really not quite sure why. If I were a Long-Lost Lilith -- would that make me a target of the Nether-Realms?? I have NO freaking idea. Most days I just want to disappear, call this life a Mulligan, and start over. Call me the Mulligan Man!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt3UH2k9lu0 I truly HATE Myself and this Stupid Incarnation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MP_G6arpVI I wish to state one more time that I don't get involved in channeling, regression-hypnosis, bloody-rituals, mediums, madams, séances, out of body, remote-viewing, or anything even remotely creepy. I have never belonged to a cult or a secret society. I've been repeatedly invited to join the Masons, but I have declined these offers. I think Ancient Egypt might hold the key to a lot of things -- but I prefer to approach Egyptology from a Biblical Perspective. I just think that the Bible has been massively messed-with, and that it is just part of a very messy and complex story. Several individuals have given me various and sundry clues over several years -- and I won't repeat them -- although I have given you a few clues (including within this final post). I'm not going to do anything with this thread -- other than study it -- and keep my mouth shut. I don't know if this post makes my life more threatening and threatened, or not. Again, I really don't care if this far-fetched hypothesis is true or not. Please don't die laughing at me!! I don't really know what to think about most important things. I just present various 'roads less traveled'. I'm mostly trying to help solve a puzzle -- and help save a race which seems to be on life-support.

ODM: So much for privacy. I've been told that I'm watched even in the bathroom. Am I supposed to be OK with that??? We seem to be watched, listened-to, harassed, possessed, misused, abused, exploited,  deceived, tortured, murdered, etc. -- and we're supposed to be OK with that??? BTW -- what are those chainsaws used for up there -- exactly?? There are some fine religious people who have no problem with the Human-Sacrifice of Christ -- Old-Testament and End-Time Torture and Mass-Murder by God and the Angels -- but you had better not utter the F---Word!! Not in Their House!! I'm sick of this moral-inconsistency!! I'm sick of the Alternative-Paradigm and New-Age mumbo-jumbo!! I'm sick of the whole GD Mess -- and I'm going away for at least a year or two. Perhaps I'll read some Murray Rothbard or some Martin Heidegger!! Perhaps I'll study Politics and Religion in the 1930's -- with special attention given to England, Germany, and Italy!! You get the picture. I've sort of burned-out -- and it's time to move-on. I even have a couple of new hobbies planned for next year -- if I'm still alive, that is. I continue to think we are in the middle of a very ancient and nasty War in Heaven -- and that we know comparatively little about the mess we're in. When one really starts poking and prodding, things start getting pretty darn ugly. I've tried to make all of this painfully real -- and it's just about finished me off. I can only imagine how bad a lot of City-State meetings really are. Some of you know what I'm talking about. I guess my present goal is to say less and less about most everything -- especially the stuff I've been posting -- and just internalize my quest -- becoming an expert in the areas I've touched upon -- without doing anything. Period. I realize this is a HUGE waste of time and energy -- and that it might really and truly put me in the Bethesda Naval Hospital -- yet I think it might be important relative to my next incarnation -- as strange as THAT sounds!! I've said over and over that I'm virtually useless and hopeless in this present incarnation -- yet in my next tour of duty -- with the proper training -- I think I might be of some use as a consultant relative to what I've modeled over the past few years. On the other hand -- I might've so angered the Galactic Powers That Be -- that I might not even have a Next-Incarnation. This might be 'Curtains'. I wish I were joking. But please know that I haven't dug in my heels and circled the wagons. This has been all about seeking the TRUTH. No disrespect or hostility has been intended. I simply do not really know who and what I'm dealing with -- and no one on the inside really seems to wish to tell me.

Anyway, I'm done. This just isn't fun. I perceive that I've stepped over the line with my last few posts (including this one) -- and I also perceive that a 'crack-down and purge the malcontents' time of trouble and reckoning might be upon us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpiUKyZa-xE It's probably too late for me to not be considered as being an unacceptable and problematic reprobate heretic of a most pestilential nature (or something like that) -- so I'm assuming the worst for my near and distant future -- regardless of which regime dominates in the coming decades. I truly could've done a lot more if I hadn't felt miserable and attacked -- and if I didn't have to worry about physical harm and eternal damnation. I still think that this whole Human-Experiment could've been handled in a much more constructive manner -- regardless of whether the experiment ultimately succeeded, or not. I've tried to help over the past several years (even if it didn't seem like it) -- but this effort didn't work -- and now I feel very little obligation and responsibility to keep repeating something which does not work -- and which no one wants. I'm out of here -- and it might be nearly impossible to get me back -- if anyone were so inclined (which I sincerely doubt). The best and the brightest will hopefully save the world, the solar system, and the galaxy -- and they can hopefully do it without the assistance of completely ignorant fools such as myself. It's sort of nice to NOT be needed. It's a truly liberating experience to NOT feel the crushing weight of responsibility for saving the human race (and who knows which other than human races). What if a reprehensible state of affairs has been allowed to exist within this solar system for thousands of years -- for some very legitimate reasons?? I'm not trying to defend evil. I'm just wondering why the universe at large, hasn't cleaned up what seems to be a miserable mess?? But what if that mess is the human race (and not just evil souls, situations, and humans)?? The Book of Revelation describes the end of life as we know it -- but would that necessarily be a good thing?? I am very Sirius regarding my perception that not everyone in this universe is in love with humanity -- and that some desire that humanity not exist anywhere, under any circumstances. There is evidence for that sort of thing -- and I will continue to model that basic hypothesis. Just know that I will be imagining the most idealistic -- and the most horrific -- world, solar system, and galactic possibilities imaginable. I'm worried Stock-Market Analysts have become Distorted and Bastardized. That keeps me awake at night. That -- and worrying about a Counterfeit Second-Coming of Christ, an Alien-Invasion, Moon-Nazis, the Arrival of the Descended-Disasters, Thermonuclear-Warfare, the Destruction of Everyone (Including the Righteous and the Wicked), and the Chinese Taking Possession of the United States. It's the Little-Things. If you secret-agents ever see my hands shaking -- you'll know why. I'm not sure what percentage of the population should think like I do -- but it should probably be less than one-percent. The problem is, that those who REALLY know the Real-Deal are probably so controlled and watched, that they can't do much with their insider-information -- other than follow orders, get back to work, control and exploit the masses. What if the world, solar system, and galaxy will HAVE to be saved by Completely Ignorant Fools (such as myself)??!! But, please, if I am ever forced into such a role, PLEASE let me do it by continuing this thread -- rather than by making a Completely Ignorant Fool out of myself in Real-Life -- in front of the whole universe!!

Once again, it is nearly impossible to substantiate or invalidate much of what we discuss. In a broader sense, History and Religion are the same way. Who really knows?? I am reduced to considering a lot of possibilities and a lot of information -- and then just getting hunches about the way things might likely be. I've said many times that I feel as if I am in conflict with Divinity, Humanity, and Myself -- and this does NOT make me a happy-camper in a happy-clappy church. Speaking of church -- what if religion will somehow be integrated into school, work, home, and family -- rather than being a stand-alone institution?? What if most church properties will be somehow converted into schools (with churches)?? I've seen some very fine integrations -- wherein a church-school property is well-utilized seven days a week!! Remember to ALWAYS Have a Sabbath-Attitude!! I do NOT wish to Degrade the Decalogue -- but I think we need to take a VERY Careful Look at ALL of Deuteronomy -- Determining What Deuteronomy Means in Modernity -- to ALL the People of the World. Enough Said About THAT!! I've been replying -- but now I'm going to try listening (without replying). BTW -- there are HUGE differences between reacting -- replying -- and responding! The fact that controversial and sensational threads get the most attention is behind the reason I think this world remains screwed-up (and seems to be getting worse). I continue to think this solar system (and not just this world) is One Big Business called Purgatory Incorporated wherein conflict, disease, pain, suffering, warfare, misery, greed, fear, class-warfare, holy-wars, religious-controversy, nationalism, uber-alles, end-of-the-world, saved-and-lost, us-v-them, Salvation4Sale, etc, etc, etc -- are Good for Business!! I call it The Corrupt Ruling the Stupid!! The Golden Rule = Those with the Gold RULE!!! The sad thing is that both the Corrupt and the Stupid seem to be pleased with the present arrangement!! Creating Heaven on Earth aka Paradise Incorporated might be harshly resisted by both the Corrupt and the Stupid!! I suspect that this might be the reason we seem to have Harsh-Administrators of this Prison Planet in Rebellion!! Attempting to Make Things Better might actually Make Things Worse!! I'm morphing into Lurk-Mode for at least a year or two -- watching and listening without replying. One more thing. Consider Everything from All-Angles Always -- and then Compete Without Ceasing With Positive Response Ability!! Robert H. Schuller got it right with Possibility Thinking -- yet this should be ALL Possibilities -- and NOT simply the Positive Possibilities!! Self-Doubt should be punctuated with Self-Esteem -- but neither Self-Doubt or Self-Esteem should be chronic!! The combining of Roman Catholicism with the Crystal Cathedral should be MOST Interesting!! Please remember that this irreverent and slap-stick thread was a means to an end -- which has ended in failure.

As I go away -- please research Soul-Nature, Human-Nature, Pre-Human Nature, and Other Than Human Nature -- with special attention to Conditions Surrounding Their Creation and/or Evolution -- and the Morality and Obedience of All of the Above. In other words -- leave no stone unturned in this general area of research. While I am disgusted by much Human-Behavior and Human-History -- I keep thinking that Basic Human-Nature is actually not that bad -- and that it seems that Humans must be deceived, programmed, and pushed to do most of the "BAD" things they are famous for. Are Humans too disobedient or too obedient?? Are we easily led astray because we are too compliant and too obedient?? Does it take someone such as Hitler to rile us up to do horrible things?? Still, I am puzzled by the disconnect between the Germany of the 1930's and the Germany of the 1940's -- as well as the alleged persistence of the Nazi-Phenomenon into the 21st Century. Who told Hitler what to say and do?? I might study Martin Heidegger to try to understand this puzzle. Does it take someone such as Alex Jones to wake us up to bad things happening all around us in plain sight?? Does it take ranting and raving to wake us up?? Consider re-watching The Century of the Self. I keep sensing a Harsh and Sinister Solar System Administration. I keep wondering about the legitimacy of this suspected administration. Perhaps there are legitimate reasons why we live in Purgatory Incorporated rather than Paradise Incorporated. I suspect that Ancient Orion, Sirius, Atlantis, Babylon, Egypt, Israel, Greece, Persia, Rome, etc. probably hold a lot of the keys to figuring this out. Plus, I know there are those in this solar system who know the WHOLE Story -- and I think I've spoken directly to at least two of them -- but they were quite reluctant to tell me much. I just knew that they knew -- and I tried to read between the lines -- but I didn't like what my perceptions were revealing to me. It was very frustrating and frightening -- and it further ruined my already ruined life. I've joked about being a Token Nice-Guy Insider -- but I honestly question whether I would retain what little sanity I had left, for any longer than 24 hours on the "Inside" -- and I'm NOT joking. I truly think it might be THAT Bad. The Illuminati are often portrayed as being Heartless-Bastards -- but what if being so is the only way to survive in the Shadowy-Underworld??? I'm serious about certain qualified researchers studying this thread over a period of months and years -- again NOT because I'm smart or spiritual -- but because I don't think you'll find this mix of material in very many places -- tied together in the manner I've done it. I'm NOT promoting myself. I Am Promoting the Information and the Arrangement of That Information. I think it might avoid a lot of ditches and cliffs -- if you know what I mean. Once again, I have assumed certain online identities and characteristics which are NOT Me in Real-Life. This is Fantasy-Land. Please Remember That. I'm now going to do my best to NOT post online -- and to attempt to Look-Good and Make-Money in Real-Life in a Highly-Respectable Manner. I'm going to pretend this online and real-life fiasco NEVER Happened. If you talk to me -- don't expect me to say or do anything relative to the past few years. BTW -- I'm still not happy about all the sneaking-around, spying, and whispering behind my back -- and You Know What I'm Talking About. This whole thing should've remained Within This Website. All of this madness was NOT intended for the community I reside in. If I thought I had a case, I'd probably seek legal counsel -- but it might be fun to at least go through the DISCOVERY process (with Multiple FoIA's, an Attorney, an Exorcist, and a Private-Investigator) -- and I'm NOT Joking. Pro Bono Anyone?? You MIGHT be able to retire!! The Jokes are Over Folks. You'll have to get your laughs somewhere else. Good-luck solving all the problems -- and I sincerely mean that.

Just another Biblical thought -- which I think I've mentioned previously -- what if one focused upon Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, and Daniel -- or basically the Wisdom-Books and the Major-Prophets?? Does any religious group do this sort of thing?? What would the Jews say?? What would the Christians say?? What would all religions say?? What would atheists say?? What would agnostics say?? I've wondered about a Christianity which focused upon the Red-Letter Teachings of Jesus -- but what if this Ten Book Old Testament focus were sort of an Old Testament version of Red-Letter Christianity?? Something is very wrong with the church and state situation on this planet -- and I suspect this is by design -- just like I suspect a lot of things are not random accidents of coincidence and fate. Further -- what if one placed these ten books in the context of an Ancient Hebrew-Egypt?? One other study possibility was Deuteronomy, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Isaiah, Matthew, and the 1928 Book of Common Prayer -- as a Minimalist-Traditionalist Old-Testament Based Reformed-Catholic Christianity!! Isn't THAT a Mouthful??!! This option might be most interesting if it were conceptualized as being contained within Ancient-Egypt (complete with Ancient High-Technology)!! Imagine two, three, or four Sun-Gods arguing with each other concerning all of the above!! I still think that Religious and Political Historical Science Fiction might be a productive pursuit -- if and only if genuine truth-seeking were the goal. But I truly think that those who go this route might pay a rather high personal price. I believe that genuine truth-seeking is somewhat self-defeating and self-destructive -- and I'm not sure the Gods and Goddesses are thrilled by such activities. Once again, I think there are probably Gods and Goddesses who are a helluva lot smarter and tougher than we are -- yet they might not be what we might wish for them to be. There might be valid and legitimate reasons why they seem to Rule by Secrecy -- rather than being Open, Honest, and Visible. One last thought regarding Regimes and Changes -- Make Damn Sure That a Change is a Change for the Better -- Long-Term. Do NOT Jump Out of the Frying-Pan and Into the Fire. Think Long and Hard About What I Just Said. What if we really require a Bad@ss Sun God aka Solar System CEO?? What if the Gods and Goddesses in Stargate SG-1 are somewhat representative of the Solar Deities we are dealing with in real-life?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b365_qJEpDg  What if there is sort of a Papa Midnight's Club for Sun Gods on the Dark-Side of the Moon?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5H9fhHkhH4 What if they met at Mork 'n Orks Grey Bar?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9qAqwIW704 Shouldn't we consider even the most absurd possibilities on an ongoing basis?? Unfortunately, I'm finished doing this sort of thing in public. I've learned the hard-way that it just doesn't pay. This sort of thing just doesn't sell. It's NOT popular and respectable -- and it's way too painful and difficult. But I will create a Private-Hell for myself, wherein I agonize over the unthinkable. The Horror.

I appreciate people such as Manly P. Hall. I don't know that much about him -- but I respect esoteric-research -- if, and only if, it is done in the right way -- and for the right reasons. LOVE -- for me -- has digressed into trying to transform Purgatory Incorporated into Paradise Incorporated -- which might involve essentially the same Solar System Structure -- but with the highest ethical-standards -- and the most effective law-enforcement imaginable. I've been told that I should've left everything in the Lord's Hands -- and I still don't know what was meant by that. Should I look the other way when I see cruelty and corruption?? What if there are Many Lords -- Living in Many Mansions -- with Many Wives??? We might be surprised!! Should I conceptualize something between Purgatory Incorporated and Paradise Incorporated?? You know -- the System of Rewards and Punishments being Paradise Incorporated as the Reward -- and Purgatory Incorporated as the Punishment???!!! What if this exact system ALREADY EXISTS???!!! I don't have a problem with high-standards, hard-work, and efficient-accounting -- but this world (and probably the whole solar system) seems to be in HUGE Trouble (on so many levels). What would YOU do if YOU were the CEO of This Solar System??? What Would God Do??? Is it important to make sure that we have the Right God running things in this solar system?? Is it blasphemous to even ask that question??? But seriously, listening to Sherry Shriner, reading The Gods of Eden and Rule by Secrecy has tweaked my brain -- and that's without even touching my Great Controversy!!! I've tried to be quite nice in all of this madness -- and that hasn't seemed to work. I perceive that I've been taken advantage-of and laughed-at -- so perhaps that Final Chapter of The Great Controversy might have to play-out after-all. I love the best parts of that chapter -- and I had hoped to avoid the worst parts -- but things aren't looking so good. No one really seemed to lift their little-finger (or anything else) to really discuss this with me (in any sort of a meaningful way). The Ancient Egyptian Deity implied that this world might be Hell. They were visibly troubled when I began reading from the last chapter of The Great Controversy. Are we really dealing with some version of a conflict between Isis-Hathor and Amen Ra -- Two Ancient Egyptian Deities in Conflict with Each Other?? I'm conflicted regarding whether this is a Two-Way or a Three-Way Conflict. What would one call a God who despised Humanity?? Might a Very Traditional God (who opposed the creation of Humanity) be viewed by Humans as being Satan?? I realize this is a VERY loaded question -- but who one calls "God" or "Satan" might depend on location and perspective. I keep getting the feeling that we live in a very complex and messy universe -- and that things might not be what they seem to our simple Earth-Human Perspectives. What if the Gods and Goddesses fight with each other??!! What if they call each other names -- such as "Satan" and "The Devil"??!! Once again, consider all of the possibilities, all of the time -- even if it hurts. I've dealt with several Individuals of Interest -- yet I kept sensing that I was dealing with the Same Underlying Soul (in different forms). This goes for both the internet and real-life. I've also noticed strange behavior and strangely-familiar statements by those close to me (or somewhat close to me). If they can't get me one way -- they'll get me some other way -- or so it seems. This whole thing stinks on so many levels -- and when my life falls apart when I have to deal with this madness -- I am looked upon as being weak and messed-up -- and I am very seldom thanked for various insights, concerns, and efforts. If I didn't give a damn -- and just looked the other way -- I'd be doing just fine -- thank-you very much. The fact that I have considered some dark universal and theological possibilities should NOT be construed as meaning that I am a Dark-Soul. Just the opposite -- I have simply attempted to Shine a Bright Light Upon a Dark World. Sorry if that rendered some of you Spiritually-Blind. Sorry if that offends -- but it's just part of the act. Were You Fooled by a Completely Ignorant Fool???

Who does Planet Earth belong to?? Who does Earth's Moon belong to? Who does the Sun belong to?? Who do all of the other planets in this solar system belong to?? Who do the moons belong to?? Who owns the asteroids?? What laws apply throughout the solar system?? Should Earth-Humans leave Earth?? Should Earth-Humans leave this solar system?? If so -- where should they go -- and how would they get there?? Who does the Stolen-Technology belong to?? I frankly don't know who and/or what I am on a soul-basis. Am I fundamentally mammalian?? Am I fundamentally reptilian?? Am I fundamentally angelic?? Should Earth-Humans be exterminated?? Is this fundamentally a Reptilian-Universe?? Is this fundamentally a Mammalian-Universe?? Is this fundamentally an Angelic-Universe?? Would a United States of the Solar System solve this solar system's problems?? Would a United States of the Solar System reignite a Hot War in Heaven?? Should we implement Status Quo Ante Bellum in this solar system?? What are the specific roles of the Archangels Gabriel, Michael, and Lucifer in this solar system?? Should the Universe be a Universal-Theocracy -- with no freedom -- and no humans?? Are Human Beings an Illegal and Unwelcome Creation in this Universe?? I've tried to be neutral about all of this -- in a somewhat irreverent, flippant, and humorous way -- but no one really seems to have common-sense, or a sense of humor. I'm frankly thinking that if humans are properly managed, they can become a truly great-race -- and live in harmony with the other races of the universe -- but I'm just not seeing a proper discussion of these most important issues. Once again, I'm sensing a 'Hardline Anti-Human' Faction -- a 'Hardline Exploit the Humans' Faction -- and a Very Out of Power 'Moderate and Neutral' Faction which Reflects My United States of the Solar System Conceptualizations. The big problem for me is that I have NO Idea what's really going on -- or who I really am. This really doesn't seem fair. So much of this madness seems unreasonable and arbitrary -- just like a lot of the Old Testament Rules, Practices, and Warfare. This solar system truly seems insane to me. When I try to make sense out of the madness, this effort seems to be deeply resented by just about everyone. I truly think that Humans are a Recent and Unwelcome Creation in an Other Than Human Universe -- and that Humanity is Seeking a Governmental System which is Heresy to the rest of the Universe. What if the Roman Catholic Church really is part of a Truly Universal Church Theocracy?? Once again, this is not a nasty-attack. I am merely trying to understand what we are really dealing with. I continue to model an idealistic combination of the Roman-System, the British-System, the American-System, and the United-Nations System -- but I fear that my quest for a Dynamic-Equilibrium of Divine-Sovereignty and Human Responsible-Freedom is considered by most of the universe to be Damnable-Heresy of a Most Pestilential Nature. I'm sensing that we live in a Very Harsh, Traditional, and Arbitrary Universe -- which wishes to see this solar system returned to its Pre-Human Conditions (before the creation of the 'Talking-Monkeys'). 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPeRhWSVCJU 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AK0LxkRB6aI Someone please reveal the Real-Deal. I HATE this stupid guessing-game.
I appreciate the work of both Bill Cooper and Alex Jones -- but in very different ways -- and I can only expose myself to their material for short periods of time. I continue to wonder about the detrimental effects of non-stop exposure to the very upsetting areas of research covered by a lot of researchers -- including Bill and Alex. It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of these types of people turn out to be agents of various kinds -- and once again, I just take everything in -- use what I can -- and move on. I'm so screwed-up by all of this madness, that I'm trying to not deal with it anymore -- not directly anyway. It wouldn't surprise me if most people who are anybody -- work for somebody in the shadows. As Jester used to say "Who Do You Work For??!!" The Ancient Egyptian Deity told me that "in twenty years you'll be working for us". That didn't sound like a good thing to me -- but who knows?! I keep worrying about exchanging a bad-regime for an even worse regime. Modeling solar system governance has made me fear there is NO Good Way to Run a Solar System -- and that Good-Guys might really finish last in this nasty game. I asked the Ancient Egyptian Deity "How Good is Too Good??" They didn't have an answer -- and neither did I!! We seemed to know each other -- going way, way, way back!! That's what really scared me!! They seemed to like me and hate me -- simultaneously!! My present conceptualizations are more upsetting than I can handle -- and hence, I'm trying very hard to move on. I'm a regular listener to Sherry Shriner's show -- but I think I'm going to stop listening -- just because I think I'm stuck in a mucky and nasty rut, which I desperately need to get out of. I don't believe everything anyone says -- and I have even irreverently questioned the Gods and Goddesses. I truly think this sort of thing brings on supernatural attacks. It sure feels that way. I've "enjoyed" listening to Alex Jones, Bill Cooper, Sherry Shriner, Eric Jon Phelps, et al -- in a morbid-curiosity sort of way. I don't think this is healthy -- but I do think that some of us need to go down this sad road -- for a while, at least. I don't talk about any of this stuff in "real-life" -- and I'm trying very hard to stop talking about it in the Fantasy-Land of the Internet. There are probably some reprehensible aspects to solar system governance which will be present, regardless of which regime is dominant. Perhaps the best we can do is to understand the "Way Things Are" -- rather than changing things. I don't know. I just feel very, very small and powerless -- compared to the Secret Solar System Government (and it's visible agents and agencies). I think this is an extremely dangerous area of research -- and those who go down this road should keep their seatbelts fastened. I don't wish this madness on anyone -- and I have tried to limit my public activities to this site -- where I suspect that 90% of the participants are a lot further down the rabbit-hole than I am. A coworker of mine just died -- and it sort of makes my 'quest' seem silly, insignificant, and useless. I didn't help this coworker in his final days -- and I feel very guilty and negligent for not doing so. The 'quest' sort of took over. This isn't a good-thing -- to say the least.

I am not necessarily opposed to a lot of the secret stuff -- but I always get the sinking feeling that there is a rogue-faction which is completely out of control -- and extremely dangerous. My United States of the Solar System conceptualizations have been my feeble attempt to at least fantasize about a happy and harmonious solar system of high-technology, and highly-ethical law and order. I keep harping back to my horrifying hypothesis that humanity is a race the universe doesn't want -- and that we might be worse than cattle in the eyes of most of the universe. Mind-you -- I wasn't brought up this way -- yet underlying my religious education was this very concept (in a somewhat hidden form). One has to become a heretic, lose their faith, and go partially-insane, to start grasping how much trouble we might really be in. I keep thinking that the secret factions are mostly just greedy-bastards -- yet there might be genuine fear as well. They MIGHT be fighting the legitimate governments of the world (if any actually exist) -- plus, they might be fighting some really bad@ss alien and/or angelic/demonic forces. I keep thinking that the real truth about how this solar system works is really bad. I'm so sorry for being a stick in the mud -- and for being a party-pooper -- but I am simply attempting to arrive at the simplest and most accurate version of the way things are in the world, solar system, and universe. Unfortunately, this is making me very, very unhappy and non-productive. I don't think I'm crazy presently (even though it might seem like it) -- but I think I might go crazy at a later date -- and I might go down really, really hard. That wouldn't surprise me one little bit -- so follow my internet-posting -- but don't follow me personally. What seem to be supernatural-attacks, seem to be getting worse and worse. I'm also experiencing continuing hostility in 'real-life'. I know I'm paranoid -- yet on some level -- I really think they are out to get me -- yet they seem to mostly be allowing me to hang myself. They just seem to keep feeding me more rope. In many ways, I think I'm hanging myself because I wish to be both honest and invisible. If one doesn't care what happens to themselves -- and just free-styles within the relative freedom of the internet -- they can probably cover a lot more ground than they could if they were trying to "get somewhere" or maintain an "image". It's sort of like "I didn't get the damn job -- so now I'm going to tell you what I really think, @sshole!!!" Sorry for being so blunt and graphic!! I'm really NOT that kind of guy!! Just the opposite!! I've been trying to stop posting for years -- and I never can!! I've been watching several YouTube music videos, with tens of millions of views!! One has over one-hundred million views!! But when it comes to what is posted on this (and similar) websites, the interest is pretty lame -- and often the comments are even more lame!! On one level, this world seems to be quite sophisticated -- yet on another level, the really important subjects are handled rather poorly. I can frankly see why this world is ruled by secrecy -- even though I HATE that concept. It's repugnant!! Perhaps I might meet some of you on the Moon someday -- but I don't know if that would be a good thing, if we found ourselves on the Moon!! I think that Deep-Research of Troubling-Subjects is a pretty lonely road -- but perhaps we should be thankful that people are not dealing with this madness. They might not be ready for it yet -- which is why I just privately research, speculate, and post on this relatively small website.

What if Solomon and Jesus turn out to be the same soul?? Again, try to follow key-souls throughout history -- but don't be surprised by anything!! History might be messier and nastier than we can possibly imagine!! Think long and hard about Lilith, Adam, and Eve -- Isis, Moses, and Aaron -- Isis, Ra, and El -- Isis, David, and Solomon -- Isis, Horus, and Set -- Mary, Jesus, and Paul -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit -- Gabriel, Michael, and Lucifer -- ???????? I'm not implying equivalencies here. I'm just suggesting taking a closer look. Once again, look at how the prayers and collects in the 1928 Book of Common Prayer are ended!! I don't know if that means anything or not -- but I find it quite unsettling!! The Ancient Egyptian Deity asked me if I thought I were the one hanging on the cross in a crucifix?! I didn't think so -- and I don't think so!! However, whoever is depicted as hanging high above the altar does NOT seem to be in favor or in power -- in any way, shape, or form!! There is something creepy about the Sacrificial System, the Substitutionary Atonement, Animal Sacrifices, Human Sacrifices, the Crucified Christ, the Sacrifice of the Mass, and Transubstantiation. I suspect a Very Dark Hidden History and Reality in connection with all of this -- going way, way, way back. I love the devotional and artistic aspects of the Latin Mass -- yet I remain very troubled by the details. Enough Said About THAT. On the other hand -- consider the 1928 Book of Common Prayer with Deuteronomy, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Isaiah, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, and Hebrews printed in their entirety -- along with the 1940 Hymnal. Further, consider this expanded version in both Latin and English (or in Latin, with the English translation included within the text, or in parallel columns)!! Then, what if all of the above were combined with the basic form of the Latin Mass (with Spoken-English and Sung-Latin)??!! What if the larger Roman Catholic Churches used this model for an additional service, which might be referred to as a Protestant Mass??!! Wouldn't THAT be a can of worms??!! Shouldn't Protestantism attempt to stay as close to Catholicism as it possibly can (in good conscience)?? Should Protestantism degenerate into "Anything Goes"?? If you haven't already, please read Exo-Vaticana by Tom Horn and Chris Putnam. I'm sure the church doesn't like it, but it fits in well with this particular website and thread. I'm really neither Friend or Foe of the Church. Once again, I often think of myself as being a Renegade French Jesuit Organist (even though this is rather inaccurate)!! I'm not even close to that description externally -- although I am somewhat that way internally!! I think this world is ruled by some very powerful beings -- who have worldly agents doing business for them -- such as the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds. I hate to say it, but if it weren't them, it would be someone else. Same goes for bad (and good) presidents. They seem to mostly be employees of those previously mentioned very powerful beings. We might be more screwed than we can imagine. I'm mostly trying to understand, rather than change things -- at least for now.

Imagine, for a moment, the Queen of Sheba writing and speaking the Song of Solomon, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Isaiah, Christ's Object Lessons (E.G. White), Romans, Hebrews, and Ecclesiastes (KJV with an Ethiopian/English Accent -- in that order) -- in the Context of the New York Queen-Ship in the Latest Version of "V"!!! I am a bit different -- aren't I?! Read all of the above -- straight-through -- over and over -- with a Queen of Sheba mental-voice OR you might wish to try this out-loud (hopefully somewhere where no one will become angry with you)!! Think very, very deeply about this particular combination and order!! What if the Queen of Sheba (on a soul-basis) really DID write all of the above??!! What if this soul is also responsible for most of the Gothic-Architecture and Sacred Classical Music?? What if this soul invented sex??!! Would all of the above constitute a System of Intellectual-Philosophy, with Sensuality as It's Sphere?? I should stop!! Note especially what I did with what I consider to be the Cream of the Gospels -- and the Cream of the Writings of Ellen White!! I didn't do that lightly -- but it really fits in well with those particular Books of the Bible (in that particular order)!! You might have to really agonize over that one for a while!!  I sure did!! I have been attempting to think the God's and Goddess's thoughts after them, throughout this thread!! BTW -- those should be upper and lower case "G's" -- which would include the Real-Deal -- as well as the Angry and Jealous Gods and Goddesses!!! I met someone the other day, who reminded me of a composite of Rachel Constantine (in Contact), Lilly (in Star Trek: First Contact), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3RNsZvdYZQ and some other interesting individuals who fit in with the general theme of this thread (whatever THAT means)!! I met a similar individual quite some time ago, in the very same place. I don't wish to be more specific -- but if you read between the lines, I think you might know what I'm talking about. You know -- someone who is very understated, very intelligent, and very articulate -- and who you would NOT want to cross!! What if God Really is Fundamentally a Black Woman??!! Think about the theological implications and ramifications of the movie Dogma!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20CRw3XdETA I think I might've encountered another Rufus and a very young Last Scion!! Think Long and Hard About This Entire Post!! Now, I think I need to install some new windows on my home -- and clean-house!! A Perfect-Storm is Forecast!! Enough Said!! You might legitimately object to my methodology -- but honestly -- could I have really made my point with a Devotional-Book or a Doctoral-Dissertation???? If you wish to see God in a negative light, read the First-Dozen Books of the Bible -- and the Book of Revelation -- not to mention Church History. God is sometimes portrayed as being a Mean Old Man. Take another look at the Sistine Chapel. I'm trying to make a case for at least one God possibly being somewhat like the Queen of Sheba, Isis, Cleopatra, Mary, the Black Madonna, the Queen of England, Diana and Anna (in "V") -- and possibly being an Archangelic Queen of Heaven. My theory being that we might be dealing with a three-way War in Heaven between three Archangelic Queens of Heaven named Gabriel, Michael, and Lucifer -- and that on a very ancient basis -- they might be Reptilian Queens. I realize this is Abominable and Damnable Heresy -- but I continue to think that we should consider all possibilities -- regardless of how upsetting they might be. I continue to consider that I might be the worst of the worst (on a reincarnation-basis) going way, way, way back. Just an afterthought. What if Amen Ra led the Exodus against Isis -- and then Isis (in the form of the Queen of Sheba) regained power over Solomon -- but ruled secretly?? Who knows?? I sure don't!! I just think that the real solar system secrets are very hidden, dark, and nasty!! Tough to experience -- but the makings of some fine science-fiction!! BTW -- can you imagine EBE exclaiming "I Am NOT a Potted-Plant (Even Though I Am Chlorophyll-Based)!!" in the Final-Judgment??!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzWwNawZdCg What Would Guermo Mendoza Say??

This is NOT a My Way or the Highway approach. This is merely a place of beginning. If I were ever involved in City-State discussions regarding the future of Humanity in this Solar System -- I would wish to cover this territory in great detail. Once again, I'm flying-blind, and I have no idea who and/or what we're really dealing with -- and I have no idea who I really am (on a reincarnation-basis) despite my speculation and modeling. If a secret society ever brought me into the fold -- they would be quickly angered and disillusioned by my lack of respect and loyalty. I seriously imagine myself spending 99% of my time in two very small apartment/offices -- one under the City of London -- and the other under the Dark-Side of the Moon -- basically doing what I'm doing right now -- except with immaculate housekeeping and sophisticated supercomputers. I've seriously let myself go -- sort of like Gabriel in The Prophecy!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gia8EZkBDc4 I think the stakes are extremely high -- but I have no idea who I am, or what to do. You have NO idea what I REALLY think about. I often imagine a long history of Star Wars and Power Struggles. In such a context, the Absolute Authority of a Supreme Commander would be essential to survival -- yet once a New World or New Earth were conquered, Absolute Obedience and God's Prerogative might backfire, and cause the Rank and File to Revolt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgaWmIdxU_4 Think long and hard about what I just said. I truly think there are Gods and Goddesses in this universe -- yet they might not be what we might wish for them to be. Even if 90% of 90% of the theologies are utter bullshit -- this doesn't mean that there are not underlying theological realities which are very, very real. Please consider reading Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Isaiah, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, and Romans -- straight through -- over and over again -- in the imagined context of the apartment/offices I just mentioned. In all of this internet madness -- I have NOT waged war upon anyone. This has been sort of a "Discovery-Process" -- but it has torn me apart nearly every day for the past few years. As a teenager, I knew something was horribly wrong -- and not just with the world as a whole. Something was very wrong with the institutions tasked with "saving the world". I sort of took a couple of steps backward -- to try to see the "big-picture" -- and I seemed to fall off the edge of the world. I didn't like the view -- and I never recovered. Things just kept getting worse and worse. What really scared me was seeing some of the best and brightest theologians and pastors looking very, very disillusioned and defeated during the 1980's. Despite everything, I still think that the Bible might be a very deep and complex puzzle to solve. I once heard Chuck Swindoll (at his church -- not on the radio) seem to say that the Bible needed to be completely solved, before we could move on. I'm not sure if he said it quite that way -- but that was the impression I got. I heard Robert H. Schuller (at his church -- not on television) say that it was time to move on -- and I think I know what he meant by that. He offered a fresh and new alternative to the old and negative Traditional Biblical approach. Unfortunately, something was very wrong with BOTH approaches.

I frankly think that there might not be a good and right way to do politics and religion. This infowar might get worse than we can possibly imagine -- and when certain factions and individuals get exposed and deposed -- they might retaliate in some unbelievably destructive ways. I am very, very afraid. I really am. I fear that we might truly be on the brink of extinction. But Siriusly, even if the whole damn solar system gets turned into one big asteroid-belt -- this has been sort of fun -- hasn't it??? Please say 'YES"!! In many ways, it's been so sad, that it's almost been funny!! Almost. Perhaps I should just let this go. You get the idea from what I've posted so far. Do I really need to post all of those Books of the Bible?? Would anyone read them?? That's a good one!! I'm not saying to not read the rest of the Bible. I'm just saying that the approach presented in this thread might be highly valuable to the right researchers. I'm sort of going underground, because I think this world is going completely opposite the direction I'm going. I think I might've been sent here to do specific tasks -- which I probably didn't do. Two tasks come to mind: 1. Preaching Daniel and Revelation. 2. Ending the World. Wasn't THAT a strange thing to say??!! I just wish to make it perfectly clear that Ethics, Law, and Order are near (or at the top) of my "To Do List" -- and that a lot of what is in the Bible and the Church does NOT seem ethical to me. Further, I support Incarceration, Work, and Education -- rather than Extermination and Damnation. I guess I like the idea of a Nice and Tight Solar System Ship -- with Structure and Discipline -- but NO Cruel and Unusual Punishment. One more thing -- what if those Five Books I was supposed to have written were turned into Sixty-Six Books??!! But what if the other Thirty-Two Books are necessary for those Five-Books to really make sense???!!! I have NO idea!! However, the Ancient Egyptian Deity seemed to say that there was a HUGE amount of withheld information in and around the Vatican -- and that I had historically been supportive of humanity -- and that I supported the concept of grappling with scripture, rather than imposing orthodoxy (or something like that). They seemed to say that humanity should not have been saved -- and that people deserved to die. They seemed to say that Theocratic and Socialistic Rule worked much better than our human attempts at freedom. They also seemed to say that Other-Than-Human Beings were vastly superior to Human-Beings. Once, as I talked to them on the phone, I got the impression that they were either in a Spaceship or a DUMB -- and I thought I heard an Other-Than-Human in the background!! I said to say "HELLO" to them!! Enough Said!! I'm honestly not making this stuff up!! But now I'm honestly going to try to stop posting one more time!! You have your homework!! Study hard -- and see what YOU think!! Imagine Zo'or and Da'an (from Earth: Final Conflict) ruling Earth from the Dark-Side of the Moon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAHJcWjbq1M What if this is sort of how things have been for thousands of years? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLiFtOUsVUY What if Job and the Gospels are Historical-Fiction?? Would this mean 'No God -- and No Salvation'?? I think not. I think we need to grow-up as a civilization -- and stop acting like children. But if we are treated as children -- we'll probably keep acting like children. I continue to think that all options are highly flawed -- and that the people of the world will be highly upset -- no matter what changes are made (or not made). What if there are three Christs?? Gabriel-Christ -- Michael-Christ -- and Lucifer-Christ?? What if (in antiquity) they were a lot like Ra in Stargate (complete with disk and horns headgear)? What if there were three Sun-Gods -- and only One Sun?? There can be only One Ra -- right?? Might that be what the War in Heaven was (and is) all about?? Three Fundamentally Differing Approaches to Physicality and Governance?? Might there be One Arrogant God Surrounded by Angry and Jealous Gods?? The following is an illustration of a previous proposal (which I have withdrawn). Wouldn't this make EVERYONE livid with rage??!! Still -- it might make for some interesting science-fiction -- don't you think??!!

The United States of the Solar System might be a cross between the City-States (with an emphasis on the United States of America) -- the United Nations -- and the Secret Government. The Solar System Council of Churches might be the Prime Solar System Watchdogs and Advisors (but without direct authority and power). The Solar System Supreme Court might prove to be the Real Solar System Backbone (with the Perfect Laws of the Lord -- and Very Little Turnover). The King and Queen might be Glorified-Versions of the Pope of Rome and the Queen of England. God might be a Glorified-Version of the Best of All of Us. He and/or She might just sit back and enjoy the show -- showing-up only when necessary -- and laying-down the law only when absolutely necessary -- as an Authority of Last Resort. Would this model properly observe the 'Sovereignty of God' and 'Responsible Human Freedom'?? This is tricky territory -- to say the least. What if the following image were of God (Resting on the Sabbath)??!! How might one define and observe the Sabbath on the Moon?? "Remember to ALWAYS Have a Sabbath-Attitude. I Am of Peace. Always."

Just for the record -- I aspire to be a combination of orthodoxymoron (fictional), Palmer Joss (fictional), 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFcHpamkHII 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcqaHxI5-P8 Ellie Arroway (fictional), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SbKE_U4b7U Rachel Constantine (fictional -- hard to find any clips or images -- interesting!!), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVn90-83NQQ S.R. Hadden (fictional), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k30TU1qFK_4  and Jack MacDonald (non-fictional). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v97Lm9tRl1A I could've used many other names -- but those just popped into my mind. In other words (and other worlds), I'd love to be a Philanthropic Galactic Jack MacDonald -- and I sincerely hope that in other lifetimes I have been (and will be) just that. I'm really not kidding about that 600 square-foot office-apartment -- but I have no idea where it should appropriately be. Perhaps it might need to be inside of one of those Piloted Bad@ssteroids (with superluminal and intergalactic capabilities)!!! "He Rarely Lands for Anyone!!" Perhaps I should be careful what I ask for!! 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6oD0tZVrRg 2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0K46C82v9o I Truly Love ALL of You. It Is Finished. Now I Can at Least Try to Go Back to Some Form of Normal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsTBbAMikPQ This Was a Test. This Was Only a Test. I am unbelievably embarrassed and traumatized by this mess. I just hope those with greater stability and resources can benefit in some way from my madness -- which is hopefully temporary. Sorry for the Misunderstanding. One More Thing. I don't know if I have a claim on anything, or not, but I claim that which is rightfully mine (in the broadest and deepest sense of that sentence) -- in a timely, proper, and appropriate manner. What a strange thing to say!! Now I'm going away (effective December 28, 2013). Namaste and Godspeed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B1EAeh6H_I

Anyway, I'm done. This just isn't fun. I perceive that I've stepped over the line with my last few posts (including this one) -- and I also perceive that a 'crack-down and purge the malcontents' time of trouble and reckoning might be upon us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpiUKyZa-xE It's probably too late for me to not be considered as being an unacceptable and problematic reprobate heretic of a most pestilential nature (or something like that) -- so I'm assuming the worst for my near and distant future -- regardless of which regime dominates in the coming decades. I truly could've done a lot more if I hadn't felt miserable and attacked -- and if I didn't have to worry about physical harm and eternal damnation. I still think that this whole Human-Experiment could've been handled in a much more constructive manner -- regardless of whether the experiment ultimately succeeded, or not. I've tried to help over the past several years (even if it didn't seem like it) -- but this effort didn't work -- and now I feel very little obligation and responsibility to keep repeating something which does not work -- and which no one wants. I'm out of here -- and it might be nearly impossible to get me back -- if anyone were so inclined (which I sincerely doubt). The best and the brightest will hopefully save the world, the solar system, and the galaxy -- and they can hopefully do it without the assistance of completely ignorant fools such as myself. It's sort of nice to NOT be needed. It's a truly liberating experience to NOT feel the crushing weight of responsibility for saving the human race (and who knows which other than human races). What if a reprehensible state of affairs has been allowed to exist within this solar system for thousands of years -- for some very legitimate reasons?? I'm not trying to defend evil. I'm just wondering why the universe at large, hasn't cleaned up what seems to be a miserable mess?? But what if that mess is the human race (and not just evil souls, situations, and humans)?? The Book of Revelation describes the end of life as we know it -- but would that necessarily be a good thing?? I am very Sirius regarding my perception that not everyone in this universe is in love with humanity -- and that some desire that humanity not exist anywhere, under any circumstances. There is evidence for that sort of thing -- and I will continue to model that basic hypothesis. Just know that I will be imagining the most idealistic -- and the most horrific -- world, solar system, and galactic possibilities imaginable. I'm worried Stock-Market Analysts have become Distorted and Bastardized. That keeps me awake at night. That -- and worrying about a Counterfeit Second-Coming of Christ, an Alien-Invasion, Moon-Nazis, the Arrival of the Descended-Disasters, Thermonuclear-Warfare, the Destruction of Everyone (Including the Righteous and the Wicked), and the Chinese Taking Possession of the United States. It's the Little-Things. If you secret-agents ever see my hands shaking -- you'll know why. I'm not sure what percentage of the population should think like I do -- but it should probably be less than one-percent. The problem is, that those who REALLY know the Real-Deal are probably so controlled and watched, that they can't do much with their insider-information -- other than follow orders, get back to work, control and exploit the masses. What if the world, solar system, and galaxy will HAVE to be saved by Completely Ignorant Fools (such as myself)??!! But, please, if I am ever forced into such a role, PLEASE let me do it by continuing this thread -- rather than by making a Completely Ignorant Fool out of myself in Real-Life -- in front of the whole universe!!

Why do links not work -- and posts disappear -- when I'm not logged-in?? See Post 676. Does this mean that guests to this site can't see certain of my posts -- and that links don't work for them?? I realize that a lot of people (and other than people) are outraged by my internet activities -- but is this latest development just a glitch -- or is there something more to it?? I'm still waiting for a detailed critique of my internet activities -- in writing -- in public -- with a reasonable opportunity for me to respond (possibly with competent representation). Throughout the several years of my unorthodox internet posting -- there has been very little rational, reasonable, and ongoing conversation -- and real-life has become a continual and ongoing nightmare. It seems as if a revealing search for the truth is NOT welcome -- and I think I understand some of the reasons why this might be the case -- some legitimate -- some illegitimate. Will this matter have to be turned into some sort of a Court-Case?? If so -- hopefully this would NOT occur in a Kangaroo Court or Guantanamo Bay. Would this thread become known as the Reptilian Brief??!! Again, I remain mostly neutral in all of this madness -- pending subsequent research, documentation, and revelations. I just figured-out that the first paragraph of this post has somehow been excluded (or censored?) from view by those who are not members of this forum, and who are not logged in. Again, see Post 676. When I remove the paragraph from that post (which I've included at the top of this post) -- that whole post is visible with, and without, being logged-in. Adding the bold-print seemed to make that paragraph visible with, and without, being logged-in. Strange, but true. I left Post 676 as is -- so it is presently not visible if one is not logged-in. I split that post into the two posts just above this one -- in an effort to determine what the problem was with Post 676. If this is something other than a glitch -- what was the reason for the exclusion and/or censorship?? Was it that I seemed to indicate that I'm no longer interested in participation in this solar system -- or even beyond?? I was merely indicating that I won't be commenting or speculating on this website for a significant period of time -- yet on another level -- I said it in such a manner which might've been suggestive of it being said by some Galactic Big-Shot. I've modeled that sort of thing -- throughout this thread -- to help all of us think about the unthinkable.

This thread is not even close to being any sort of a scholarly work. I've simply done a lot of research, listening, watching, reading, reflecting, and praying throughout the years -- seemingly to my detriment and ultimate demise. It was not given to me. It was not channeled. It did not arise from regression-hypnosis. I am not possessed (that I know of). The Ancient Egyptian Deity said that I'd know it if I was!! They told me not to read Hostage to the Devil-- because one can become possessed, just by reading that particular book!! Some things are clearly fictional in this thread -- and some things I have clearly identified as actually occurring. But even in the case of actual events -- I cannot vouch for the truth or falsehood of information related -- such as in the case of my extended contact with one claiming to be a particular Ancient Egyptian Deity. I wasn't making that stuff up. That actually happened to me. Perhaps I should've said "Get Thee Hence!!" But I decided to remain neutral -- and give them at least the same level of respect as exhibited by Jesus toward Satan in His Wilderness Temptation. I once joked with them about bringing my Bible -- and yelling at them!! They didn't seem to like that!! BTW -- I've seen several of those mysterious wisps of white light stream between me and the monitor. My Monitor is probably NOT happy with the contents of this post. I also encountered yet another person of interest in a restaurant a couple of days ago. The fun never ends -- or is the end really near?? My Pseudo-Intellectual Quest has badly disillusioned me -- and reinforced the concept that Religion and Politics are a HUGE Can of Worms (or is it a Snake-Pit?)! I guess that's why I'm leaning toward a Comprehensive Positively-Reinforced Consolidation of the Best Shared Denominator of All the Governmental and Religious Ideas and Systems Known (and Unknown?) to Humanity (and Other-Than-Humanity). Good-Luck??? That's Right!! I get that part!! The Infowar might be the end of us all -- and I wish I were kidding.

A Deliberately Destructive Disclosure and Regime-Change wouldn't surprise me at all. You know -- have all hell break loose with the truth and the new-guy(s) -- and then go right back to business as usual -- with a new-crew of arrogant-bastards -- with the lid screwed-down tighter than ever before. Perhaps this is why I keep thinking in terms of being a Seen and Not Heard Observer-Analyst -- rather than being some sort of a Renegade-Reformer in the Hot-Seat Kind of Guy -- if you know what I mean. I suspect that the Way Things Are is SO ingrained in this solar system, and in the collective-unconscious, that doing the right thing in the wrong way, might REALLY screw things up. Beware of One More Deliberately Inflicted Hell on Earth. I just have to stop thinking about this madness -- because it does absolutely no good -- and it might end badly for those who are open, honest, ethical, and idealistic. Nice-Guys might finish last in this solar system for a very long time. On the other hand, the Bad-Guys might Get-Religion -- and clean-up their act, to fight off the truly Good Guys and Gals -- and then after victory is achieved -- go right back to business as usual. I'll continue to be Conceptually-Idealistic and Pragmatically-Pessimistic. Right might seem Wrong -- and Wrong might seem Right. Think of how Lawyers can twist the truth -- and make Bad-Guys look Good -- and Good-Guys look Bad. I found a recent statement by Steven Greer to be somewhat interesting -- that Reptilians and Greys (as often illustrated) are local and man-made -- rather than being from distant solar systems. I hope I got that right. Once again, my posts and threads are highly speculative, tentative, and science-fictional in nature. It's easier that way. The Biblical Final Solution is to Burn the Earth to a Crisp -- Exterminate the Unrepentant Souls (After Torturing Them Appropriately) OR Burn Them in Hell for All Eternity -- and then Start Over With an Earth Made New Without Humans. BTW -- I've been told that we need to start over. Today, I bought a copy of Left Behind. If this website and/or this thread have been too upsetting, complex, insane, or just too out-there -- and if you don't like church or new-age groups -- try to at least read the following three books -- side by side -- on an ongoing basis -- and just leave it at that. I realize that things are much more complicated than this -- yet I still support a Positively-Reinforced Minimalist-Traditionalism as a place of beginning. A Unified-Whole of the Following Three Sources Seems to be Quite Balanced -- Especially in Light of the Theological and Philosophical Zoo We Are Confronted With!!

1. 1928 Book of Common Prayer. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_5_5?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=1928+book+of+common+prayer&sprefix=1928+%2Caps%2C134

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT I MODELED CHARACTERS, CONCEPTS, AND PERSONALITIES WHICH WERE NOT ME (THAT I KNOW OF) -- AND WHICH DID NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT MY TRUE BELIEFS AND PREFERENCES. THIS THREAD WAS POLITICAL AND THEOLOGICAL DREAMLAND (OR NIGHTMARELAND). I HAVE STATED THIS (IN ESSENCE) OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THIS WAS RELIGIOUS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE FICTION. IF YOU SPOKE TO ME IN REAL-LIFE, I WOULD BE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. DO SOME OF US HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME SEPARATING FANTASY FROM REALITY?? AND YOU CALLED ME CRAZY!! WAS MY SCIENCE FICTIONAL THREAD REALLY THAT REALISTIC AND BELIEVABLE?? PERHAPS MOST OF IT REALLY WAS TRUE. SOME OF THIS THREAD MIGHT REFLECT CERTAIN ASPECTS OF HIDDEN REALITY -- BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHICH PORTIONS REFLECT FACT -- AND WHICH PORTIONS REFLECT FANTASY. I HAVE NO IDEA WHICH PARTICULAR MIND GAMES HAVE BEEN (AND ARE BEING) PERPETRATED UPON EARTH-HUMANITY. THIS WHOLE INTERNET EXERCISE IN FUTILITY WAS INTENDED TO MAKE US THINK (INCLUDING ME). WHY WAS THIS SO HARD?? BUT I KNOW THAT EVERYTHING I'VE SAID AND DONE -- HAS BEEN (AND WILL BE) USED AGAINST ME. MY TENTATIVE PLAN FOR THE REST OF THIS YEAR IS TO READ GENESIS, JOB, PSALMS, SONG OF SOLOMON, PROVERBS, ECCLESIASTES, ISAIAH, MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, AND JOHN -- OVER AND OVER AGAIN -- AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!! END OF LINE.

In Christ's parable teaching the same principle is seen as in His own mission to the world. That we might become acquainted with His divine character and life, Christ took our nature and dwelt among us. Divinity was revealed in humanity; the invisible glory in the visible human form. Men could learn of the unknown through the known; heavenly things were revealed through the earthly; God was made manifest in the likeness of men. So it was in Christ's teaching: the unknown was illustrated by the known; divine truths by earthly things with which the people were most familiar.

The Scripture says, "All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; . . . that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world." Matt. 13:34, 35. Natural things were the medium for the spiritual; the things of nature and the life-experience of His hearers were connected with the truths of the written word. Leading thus from the natural to the spiritual kingdom, Christ's parables are links in the chain of truth that unites man with God, and earth with heaven. In His teaching from nature, Christ was speaking of the things which His own hands had made, and which had qualities and powers that He Himself had imparted. In their original perfection all created things were an expression of the thought of God. To Adam and Eve in their Eden home nature was full of the knowledge of God, teeming with divine instruction. Wisdom spoke to the eye and was received into the heart; for they communed with God in His created works. As soon as the holy pair transgressed the law of the Most High, the brightness from the face of God departed from the face of nature. The earth is now marred and defiled by sin. Yet even in its blighted state much that is beautiful remains. God's object lessons are not obliterated; rightly understood, nature speaks of her Creator.

In the days of Christ these lessons had been lost sight of. Men had well-nigh ceased to discern God in His works. The sinfulness of humanity had cast a pall over the fair face of creation; and instead of manifesting God, His works became a barrier that concealed Him. Men "worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator." Thus the heathen "became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened." Rom. 1:25, 21. So in Israel, man's teaching had been put in the place of God's. Not only the things of nature, but the sacrificial service and the Scriptures themselves--all given to reveal God--were so perverted that they became the means of concealing Him. Christ sought to remove that which obscured the truth. The veil that sin has cast over the face of nature, He came to draw aside, bringing to view the spiritual glory that all things were created to reflect. His words placed the teachings of nature as well as of the Bible in a new aspect, and made them a new revelation. Jesus plucked the beautiful lily, and placed it in the hands of children and youth; and as they looked into His own youthful face, fresh with the sunlight of His Father's countenance, He gave the lesson, "Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow [in the simplicity of natural beauty]; they toil not, neither do they spin; and yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." Then followed the sweet assurance and the important lesson, "Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?"

In the sermon on the mount these words were spoken to others besides children and youth. They were spoken to the multitude, among whom were men and women full of worries and perplexities, and sore with disappointment and sorrow. Jesus continued: "Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (for after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your Heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things." Then spreading out His hands to the surrounding multitude, He said, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matt. 6:28-33. Thus Christ interpreted the message which He Himself had given to the lilies and the grass of the field. He desires us to read it in every lily and every spire of grass. His words are full of assurance, and tend to confirm trust in God. So wide was Christ's view of truth, so extended His teaching, that every phase of nature was employed in illustrating truth. The scenes upon which the eye daily rests were all connected with some spiritual truth, so that nature is clothed with the parables of the Master.

In the earlier part of His ministry, Christ had spoken to the people in words so plain that all His hearers might have grasped truths which would make them wise unto salvation. But in many hearts the truth had taken no root, and it had been quickly caught away. "Therefore speak I to them in parables." He said; "because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. . . . For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed." Matt. 13:13-15. Jesus desired to awaken inquiry. He sought to arouse the careless, and impress truth upon the heart. Parable teaching was popular, and commanded the respect and attention, not only of the Jews, but of the people of other nations. No more effective method of instruction could He have employed. If His hearers had desired a knowledge of divine things, they might have understood His words; for He was always willing to explain them to the honest inquirer. Again, Christ had truths to present which the people were unprepared to accept or even to understand. For this reason also He taught them in parables. By connecting His teaching with the scenes of life, experience, or nature, He secured their attention and impressed their hearts. Afterward, as they looked upon the objects that illustrated His lessons, they recalled the words of the divine Teacher. To minds that were open to the Holy Spirit, the significance of the Saviour's teaching unfolded more and more. Mysteries grew clear, and that which had been hard to grasp became evident.

Jesus sought an avenue to every heart. By using a variety of illustrations, He not only presented truth in its different phases, but appealed to the different hearers. Their interest was aroused by figures drawn from the surroundings of their daily life. None who listened to the Saviour could feel that they were neglected or forgotten. The humblest, the most sinful, heard in His teaching a voice that spoke to them in sympathy and tenderness. And He had another reason for teaching in parables. Among the multitudes that gathered about Him, there were priests and rabbis, scribes and elders, Herodians and rulers, world-loving, bigoted, ambitious men, who desired above all things to find some accusation against Him. Their spies followed His steps day after day, to catch from His lips something that would cause His condemnation, and forever silence the One who seemed to draw the world after Him. The Saviour understood the character of these men, and He presented truth in such a way that they could find nothing by which to bring His case before the Sanhedrim. In parables He rebuked the hypocrisy and wicked works of those who occupied high positions, and in figurative language clothed truth of so cutting a character that had it been spoken in direct denunciation, they would not have listened to His words, and would speedily have put an end to His ministry. But while He evaded the spies, He made truth so clear that error was manifested, and the honest in heart were profited by His lessons. Divine wisdom, infinite grace, were made plain by the things of God's creation. Through nature and the experiences of life, men were taught of God. "The invisible things of Him since the creation of the world," were "perceived through the things that are made, even His everlasting power and divinity." Rom. 1:20, R. V.

In the Saviour's parable teaching is an indication of what constitutes the true "higher education." Christ might have opened to men the deepest truths of science. He might have unlocked mysteries which have required many centuries of toil and study to penetrate. He might have made suggestions in scientific lines that would have afforded food for thought and stimulus for invention to the close of time. But He did not do this. He said nothing to gratify curiosity, or to satisfy man's ambition by opening doors to worldly greatness. In all His teaching, Christ brought the mind of man in contact with the Infinite Mind. He did not direct the people to study men's theories about God, His word, or His works. He taught them to behold Him as manifested in His works, in His word, and by His providences. Christ did not deal in abstract theories, but in that which is essential to the development of character, that which will enlarge man's capacity for knowing God, and increase his efficiency to do good. He spoke to men of those truths that relate to the conduct of life, and that take hold upon eternity. It was Christ who directed the education of Israel. Concerning the commandments and ordinances of the Lord He said, "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. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates." Deut. 6:7-9. In His own teaching, Jesus showed how this command is to be fulfilled--how the laws and principles of God's kingdom can be so presented as to reveal their beauty and preciousness. When the Lord was training Israel to be the special representatives of Himself, He gave them homes among the hills and valleys. In their home life and their religious service they were brought in constant contact with nature and with the word of God. So Christ taught His disciples by the lake, on the mountainside, in the fields and groves, where they could look upon the things of nature by which He illustrated His teachings. And as they learned of Christ, they put their knowledge to use by co-operating with Him in His work. So through the creation we are to become acquainted with the Creator. The book of nature is a great lesson book, which in connection with the Scriptures we are to use in teaching others of His character, and guiding lost sheep back to the fold of God. As the works of God are studied, the Holy Spirit flashes conviction into the mind. It is not the conviction that logical reasoning produces; but unless the mind has become too dark to know God, the eye too dim to see Him, the ear too dull to hear His voice, a deeper meaning is grasped, and the sublime, spiritual truths of the written word are impressed on the heart. In these lessons direct from nature, there is a simplicity and purity that makes them of the highest value. All need the teaching to be derived from this source. In itself the beauty of nature leads the soul away from sin and worldly attractions, and toward purity, peace, and God.

Too often the minds of students are occupied with men's theories and speculations, falsely called science and philosophy. They need to be brought into close contact with nature. Let them learn that creation and Christianity have one God. Let them be taught to see the harmony of the natural with the spiritual. Let everything which their eyes see or their hands handle be made a lesson in character building. Thus the mental powers will be strengthened, the character developed, the whole life ennobled. Christ's purpose in parable teaching was in direct line with the purpose of the Sabbath. God gave to men the memorial of His creative power, that they might discern Him in the works of His hand. The Sabbath bids us behold in His created works the glory of the Creator. And it was because He desired us to do this that Jesus bound up His precious lessons with the beauty of natural things. On the holy rest day, above all other days, we should study the messages that God has written for us in nature. We should study the Saviour's parables where He spoke them, in the fields and groves, under the open sky, among the grass and flowers. As we come close to the heart of nature, Christ makes His presence real to us, and speaks to our hearts of His peace and love. And Christ has linked His teaching, not only with the day of rest, but with the week of toil. He has wisdom for him who drives the plow and sows the seed. In the plowing and sowing, the tilling and reaping, He teaches us to see an illustration of His work of grace in the heart. So in every line of useful labor and every association of life, He desires us to find a lesson of divine truth. Then our daily toil will no longer absorb our attention and lead us to forget God; it will continually remind us of our Creator and Redeemer. The thought of God will run like a thread of gold through all our homely cares and occupations. For us the glory of His face will again rest upon the face of nature. We shall ever be learning new lessons of heavenly truth, and growing into the image of His purity. Thus shall we "be taught of the Lord"; and in the lot wherein we are called, we shall "abide with God." Isa. 54:13; 1 Cor. 7:24.

"The Sower Went Forth to Sow" based on Matt. 13:1-9, 18-23; Mark 4:1-20; Luke 8:4-15. The Sower and the Seed. By the parable of the sower, Christ illustrates the things of the kingdom of heaven, and the work of the great Husbandman for His people. Like a sower in the field, He came to scatter the heavenly grain of truth. And His parable teaching itself was the seed with which the most precious truths of His grace were sown. Because of its simplicity the parable of the sower has not been valued as it should be. From the natural seed cast into the soil, Christ desires to lead our minds to the gospel seed, the sowing of which results in bringing man back to his loyalty to God. He who gave the parable of the tiny seed is the Sovereign of heaven, and the same laws that govern earthly seed sowing govern the sowing of the seeds of truth.

By the Sea of Galilee a company had gathered to see and hear Jesus--an eager, expectant throng. The sick were there, lying on their mats, waiting to present their cases before Him. It was Christ's God-given right to heal the woes of a sinful race, and He now rebuked disease, and diffused around Him life and health and peace. As the crowd continued to increase, the people pressed close about Christ until there was no room to receive them. Then, speaking a word to the men in their fishing boats, He stepped into the boat that was waiting to take Him across the lake, and bidding His disciples push off a little from the land, He spoke to the multitude upon the shore. Beside the sea lay the beautiful plain of Gennesaret, beyond rose the hills, and upon hillside and plain both sowers and reapers were busy, the one casting seed and the other harvesting the early grain. Looking upon the scene, Christ said "Behold, the sower went forth to sow; and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured them" (R.V.); "some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth; and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: and when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: but other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold."

Christ's mission was not understood by the people of His time. The manner of His coming was not in accordance with their expectations. The Lord Jesus was the foundation of the whole Jewish economy. Its imposing services were of divine appointment. They were designed to teach the people that at the time appointed One would come to whom those ceremonies pointed. But the Jews had exalted the forms and ceremonies and had lost sight of their object. The traditions, maxims, and enactments of men hid from them the lessons which God intended to convey. These maxims and traditions became an obstacle to their understanding and practice of true religion. And when the Reality came, in the person of Christ, they did not recognize in Him the fulfillment of all their types, the substance of all their shadows. They rejected the antitype, and clung to their types and useless ceremonies. The Son of God had come, but they continued to ask for a sign. The message, "Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand," they answered by demands for a miracle. Matt. 3:2. The gospel of Christ was a stumbling block to them because they demanded signs instead of a Saviour. They expected the Messiah to prove His claims by mighty deeds of conquest, to establish His empire on the ruins of earthly kingdoms. This expectation Christ answered in the parable of the sower. Not by force of arms, not by violent interpositions, was the kingdom of God to prevail, but by the implanting of a new principle in the hearts of men. "He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man." Matt. 13:37. Christ had come, not as a king, but as a sower; not for the overthrow of kingdoms, but for the scattering of seed; not to point His followers to earthly triumphs and national greatness, but to a harvest to be gathered after patient toil and through losses and disappointments.

The Pharisees perceived the meaning of Christ's parable, but to them its lesson was unwelcome. They affected not to understand it. To the multitude it involved in still greater mystery the purpose of the new teacher, whose words had so strangely moved their hearts and so bitterly disappointed their ambitions. The disciples themselves had not understood the parable, but their interest was awakened. They came to Jesus privately and asked for an explanation. This was the desire which Christ wished to arouse, that He might give them more definite instruction. He explained the parable to them, as He will make plain His word to all who seek Him in sincerity of heart. Those who study the word of God with hearts open to the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, will not remain in darkness as to the meaning of the word. "If any man willeth to do His will," Christ said, "he shall know of the teaching whether it be of God, or whether I speak from Myself." John 7:17, R.V. All who come to Christ for a clearer knowledge of the truth will receive it. He will unfold to them the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, and these mysteries will be understood by the heart that longs to know the truth. A heavenly light will shine into the soul temple, and will be revealed to others as the bright shining of a lamp on a dark path. "The sower went forth to sow" (R.V.). In the East the state of affairs was so unsettled, and there was so great danger from violence that the people dwelt chiefly in walled towns, and the husbandmen went forth daily to their labor outside the walls. So Christ, the heavenly Sower, went forth to sow. He left His home of security and peace, left the glory that He had with the Father before the world was, left His position upon the throne of the universe. He went forth, a suffering, tempted man; went forth in solitude, to sow in tears, to water with His blood, the seed of life for a world lost.

His servants in like manner must go forth to sow. When called to become a sower of the seed of truth, Abraham was bidden, "Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will show thee." Gen. 12:1. "And he went out, not knowing whither he went." Heb. 11:8. So to the apostle Paul, praying in the temple at Jerusalem, came the message from God, "Depart; for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles." Acts 22:21. So those who are called to unite with Christ must leave all, in order to follow Him. Old associations must be broken up, plans of life relinquished, earthly hopes surrendered. In toil and tears, in solitude, and through sacrifice, must the seed be sown. "The sower soweth the word." Christ came to sow the world with truth. Ever since the fall of man, Satan has been sowing the seeds of error. It was by a lie that he first gained control over men, and thus he still works to overthrow God's kingdom in the earth and to bring men under his power. A sower from a higher world, Christ came to sow the seeds of truth. He who had stood in the councils of God, who had dwelt in the innermost sanctuary of the Eternal, could bring to men the pure principles of truth. Ever since the fall of man, Christ had been the Revealer of truth to the world. By Him the incorruptible seed, "the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever," is communicated to men. 1 Peter 1:23. In that first promise spoken to our fallen race in Eden, Christ was sowing the gospel seed. But it is to His personal ministry among men and to the work which He thus established that the parable of the sower especially applies. The word of God is the seed. Every seed has in itself a germinating principle. In it the life of the plant is enfolded. So there is life in God's word. Christ says, "The words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, and they are life." John 6:63. "He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life." John 5:24. In every command and in every promise of the word of God is the power, the very life of God, by which the command may be fulfilled and the promise realized. He who by faith receives the word is receiving the very life and character of God.

Every seed brings forth fruit after its kind. Sow the seed under right conditions, and it will develop its own life in the plant. Receive into the soul by faith the incorruptible seed of the word, and it will bring forth a character and a life after the similitude of the character and the life of God. The teachers of Israel were not sowing the seed of the word of God. Christ's work as a teacher of truth was in marked contrast to that of the rabbis of His time. They dwelt upon traditions, upon human theories and speculations. Often that which man had taught and written about the word, they put in place of the word itself. Their teaching had no power to quicken the soul. The subject of Christ's teaching and preaching was the word of God. He met questioners with a plain, "It is written." "What saith the Scriptures?" "How readest thou?" At every opportunity, when an interest was awakened by either friend or foe, He sowed the seed of the word. He who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, Himself the living Word, points to the Scriptures, saying, "They are they which testify of Me." And "beginning at Moses and all the prophets," He opened to His disciples "in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself." John 5:39; Luke 24:27.

Christ's servants are to do the same work. In our day, as of old, the vital truths of God's word are set aside for human theories and speculations. Many professed ministers of the gospel do not accept the whole Bible as the inspired word. One wise man rejects one portion; another questions another part. They set up their judgment as superior to the word; and the Scripture which they do teach rests upon their own authority. Its divine authenticity is destroyed. Thus the seeds of infidelity are sown broadcast; for the people become confused and know not what to believe. There are many beliefs that the mind has no right to entertain. In the days of Christ the rabbis put a forced, mystical construction upon many portions of Scripture. Because the plain teaching of God's word condemned their practices, they tried to destroy its force. The same thing is done today. The word of God is made to appear mysterious and obscure in order to excuse transgression of His law. Christ rebuked these practices in His day. He taught that the word of God was to be understood by all. He pointed to the Scriptures as of unquestionable authority, and we should do the same. The Bible is to be presented as the word of the infinite God, as the end of all controversy and the foundation of all faith. The Bible has been robbed of its power, and the results are seen in a lowering of the tone of spiritual life. In the sermons from many pulpits of today there is not that divine manifestation which awakens the conscience and brings life to the soul. The hearers can not say, "Did not our heart burn within us, while He talked with us by the way, and while He opened to us the Scriptures?" Luke 24:32. There are many who are crying out for the living God, longing for the divine presence. Philosophical theories or literary essays, however brilliant, cannot satisfy the heart. The assertions and inventions of men are of no value. Let the word of God speak to the people. Let those who have heard only traditions and human theories and maxims hear the voice of Him whose word can renew the soul unto everlasting life.

Christ's favorite theme was the paternal tenderness and abundant grace of God; He dwelt much upon the holiness of His character and His law; He presented Himself to the people as the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Let these be the themes of Christ's ministers. Present the truth as it is in Jesus. Make plain the requirements of the law and the gospel. Tell the people of Christ's life of self-denial and sacrifice; of His humiliation and death; of His resurrection and ascension; or His intercession for them in the courts of God; of His promise, "I will come again, and receive you unto Myself." John 14:3. Instead of discussing erroneous theories, or seeking to combat the opponents of the gospel, follow the example of Christ. Let fresh truths from God's treasure house flash into life. "Preach the word." "Sow beside all waters." "Be instant in season, out of season." "He that hath My word, let him speak My word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord." "Every word of God is pure. . . . Add thou not unto His words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar." 2 Tim. 4:2; Isa. 32:20; Jer. 23:28; Prov. 30:5, 6. "The sower soweth the word." Here is presented the great principle which should underlie all educational work. "The seed is the word of God." But in too many schools of our day God's word is set aside. Other subjects occupy the mind. The study of infidel authors holds a large place in the educational system. Skeptical sentiments are interwoven in the matter placed in school books. Scientific research becomes misleading, because its discoveries are misinterpreted and perverted. The word of God is compared with the supposed teachings of science, and is made to appear uncertain and untrustworthy. Thus the seeds of doubt are planted in the minds of the youth, and in time of temptation they spring up. When faith in God's word is lost, the soul has no guide, no safeguard. The youth are drawn into paths which lead away from God and from everlasting life.

To this cause may in great degree be attributed the widespread iniquity in our world today. When the word of God is set aside, its power to restrain the evil passions of the natural heart is rejected. Men sow to the flesh, and of the flesh they reap corruption. And here, too, is the great cause of mental weakness and inefficiency. In turning from God's word to feed on the writings of uninspired men, the mind becomes dwarfed and cheapened. It is not brought in contact with deep, broad principles of eternal truth. The understanding adapts itself to the comprehension of the things with which it is familiar, and in this devotion to finite things it is weakened, its power is contracted, and after a time it becomes unable to expand. All this is false education. The work of every teacher should be to fasten the mind of the youth upon the grand truths of the word of Inspiration. This is the education essential for this life and for the life to come. And let it not be thought that this will prevent the study of the sciences, or cause a lower standard in education. The knowledge of God is as high as heaven and as broad as the universe. There is nothing so ennobling and invigorating as a study of the great themes which concern our eternal life. Let the youth seek to grasp these God-given truths, and their minds will expand and grow strong in the effort. It will bring every student who is a doer of the word into a broader field of thought, and secure for him a wealth of knowledge that is imperishable.

The education to be secured by searching the Scriptures is an experimental knowledge of the plan of salvation. Such an education will restore the image of God in the soul. It will strengthen and fortify the mind against temptation, and fit the learner to become a co-worker with Christ in His mission of mercy to the world. It will make him a member of the heavenly family; and prepare him to share the inheritance of the saints in light. But the teacher of sacred truth can impart only that which he himself knows by experience. "The sower sowed  his  seed." Christ taught the truth because He was the truth. His own thought, His character, His life-experience, were embodied in His teaching. So with His servants: those who would teach the word are to make it their own by a personal experience. They must know what it is to have Christ made unto them wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption. In presenting the word of God to others, they are not to make it a suppose-so or a may-be. They should declare with the apostle Peter, "We have not followed cunningly devised fables when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye-witnesses of His majesty." 2 Peter 1:16. Every minister of Christ and every teacher should be able to say with the beloved John, "The life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us." 1 John 1:2.

Thank-you A1. I like the idea of strict-formal interspersed with sexy-informal (such as what you did with that video). Brittney is a real knock-out and a fantastic-performer!! I have to remind myself that Brittney doesn't know me -- and if she did -- she probably wouldn't like me or love me!! She might even hate those who drool over her videos!! I've seen her get quite nasty with fans and the paparazzi!! I hear that Brittney often wishes to break-free from her controllers and handlers. That wouldn't surprise me a bit. She seems to have a soul, which many other entertainers lack. I keep hearing that the more fame, fortune, and power one acquires in this world -- the more of their soul they have to sell to You-Know-Who. Perhaps we should discuss entertainment-ethics and sexual-ethics. Is it a sin for a single-man (such as myself) to watch sexy-videos?? Is it a sin for a guy with a girlfriend to watch sexy-videos?? Is it a sin for a married-man to watch sexy-videos?? Is promiscuity a sin?? Is pornography a sin?? How bad is too bad?? How good is too good?? Should the family be destroyed?? Should the middle-class be destroyed?? Should people such as myself be destroyed?? Should there be some sort of censorship in this seemingly God-Forsaken World?? Should Anything Go?? What sort of sexual-ethics and general-ethics are normal and natural for human-beings?? Is human-nature good, bad, or neutral?? Are we born-sinners -- or does Rome and Hollywood turn us into sinners??  Does going to Mass make everything OK -- without really being Morally OK?? "Twelve O'clock and All is Well??"

Tares based on Matt. 13:24-30, 37-43. Another parable put He forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also." "The field," Christ said, "is the world." But we must understand this as signifying the church of Christ in the world. The parable is a description of that which pertains to the kingdom of God, His work of salvation of men; and this work is accomplished through the church. True, the Holy Spirit has gone out into all the world; everywhere it is moving upon the hearts of men; but it is in the church that we are to grow and ripen for the garner of God. "He that sowed the good seed is the Son of man. . . . The good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one." The good seed represents those who are born of the word of God, the truth. The tares represent a class who are the fruit or embodiment of error, of false principles. "The enemy that sowed them is the devil." Neither God nor His angels ever sowed a seed that would produce a tare. The tares are always sown by Satan, the enemy of God and man. In the East, men sometimes took revenge upon an enemy by strewing his newly sown fields with the seeds of some noxious weed that, while growing, closely resembled wheat. Springing up with the wheat, it injured the crop and brought trouble and loss to the owner of the field. So it is from enmity to Christ that Satan scatters his evil seed among the good grain of the kingdom. The fruit of his sowing he attributes to the Son of God. By bringing into the church those who bear Christ's name while they deny His character, the wicked one causes that God shall be dishonored, the work of salvation misrepresented, and souls imperiled.

Christ's servants are grieved as they see true and false believers mingled in the church. They long to do something to cleanse the church. Like the servants of the householder, they are ready to uproot the tares. But Christ says to them, "Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest." Christ has plainly taught that those who persist in open sin must be separated from the church, but He has not committed to us the work of judging character and motive. He knows our nature too well to entrust this work to us. Should we try to uproot from the church those whom we suppose to be spurious Christians, we should be sure to make mistakes. Often we regard as hopeless subjects the very ones whom Christ is drawing to Himself. Were we to deal with these souls according to our imperfect judgment, it would perhaps extinguish their last hope. Many who think themselves Christians will at last be found wanting. Many will be in heaven who their neighbors supposed would never enter there. Man judges from appearance, but God judges the heart. The tares and the wheat are to grow together until the harvest; and the harvest is the end of probationary time. There is in the Saviour's words another lesson, a lesson of wonderful forbearance and tender love. As the tares have their roots closely intertwined with those of the good grain, so false brethren in the church may be closely linked with true disciples. The real character of these pretended believers is not fully manifested. Were they to be separated from the church, others might be caused to stumble, who but for this would have remained steadfast. The teaching of this parable is illustrated in God's own dealing with men and angels. Satan is a deceiver. When he sinned in heaven, even the loyal angels did not fully discern his character. This was why God did not at once destroy Satan. Had He done so, the holy angels would not have perceived the justice and love of God. A doubt of God's goodness would have been as evil seed that would yield the bitter fruit of sin and woe. Therefore the author of evil was spared, fully to develop his character. Through long ages God has borne the anguish of beholding the work of evil, He has given the infinite Gift of Calvary, rather than leave any to be deceived by the misrepresentations of the wicked one; for the tares could not be plucked up without danger of uprooting the precious grain. And shall we not be as forbearing toward our fellow men as the Lord of heaven and earth is toward Satan? The world has no right to doubt the truth of Christianity because there are unworthy members in the church, nor should Christians become disheartened because of these false brethren. How was it with the early church? Ananias and Sapphira joined themselves to the disciples. Simon Magus was baptized. Demas, who forsook Paul, had been counted a believer. Judas Iscariot was numbered with the apostles. The Redeemer does not want to lose one soul; His experience with Judas is recorded to show His long patience with perverse human nature; and He bids us bear with it as He has borne. He has said that false brethren will be found in the church till the close of time.

Notwithstanding Christ's warning, men have sought to uproot the tares. To punish those who were supposed to be evildoers, the church has had recourse to the civil power. Those who differed from the established doctrines have been imprisoned, put to torture and to death, at the instigation of men who claimed to be acting under the sanction of Christ. But it is the spirit of Satan, not the Spirit of Christ, that inspires such acts. This is Satan's own method of bringing the world under his dominion. God has been misrepresented through the church by this way of dealing with those supposed to be heretics. Not judgment and condemnation of others, but humility and distrust of self, is the teaching of Christ's parable. Not all that is sown in the field is good grain. The fact that men are in the church does not prove them Christians. The tares closely resembled the wheat while the blades were green; but when the field was white for the harvest, the worthless weeds bore no likeness to the wheat that bowed under the weight of its full, ripe heads. Sinners who make a pretension of piety mingle for a time with the true followers of Christ, and the semblance of Christianity is calculated to deceive many; but in the harvest of the world there will be no likeness between good and evil. Then those who have joined the church, but who have not joined Christ, will be manifest. The tares are permitted to grow among the wheat, to have all the advantage of sun and shower; but in the time of harvest ye shall "return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth Him not." Mal. 3:18. Christ Himself will decide who are worthy to dwell with the family of heaven. He will judge every man according to his words and his works. Profession is as nothing in the scale. It is character that decides destiny. The Saviour does not point forward to a time when all the tares become wheat. The wheat and tares grow together until the harvest, the end of the world. Then the tares are bound in bundles to be burned, and the wheat is gathered into the garner of God. "Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father." Then "the Son of man shall send forth His angels, and they shall gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; and shall cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."

"Like a Grain of Mustard Seed" based on Matt. 13:31, 32; Mark 4:30-32; Luke 13:18, 19. In the multitude that listened to Christ's teaching there were many Pharisees. These noted contemptuously how few of His hearers acknowledged Him as the Messiah. And they questioned with themselves how this unpretending teacher could exalt Israel to universal dominion. Without riches, power, or honor, how was He to establish the new kingdom? Christ read their thoughts and answered them: "Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?" In earthly governments there was nothing that could serve for a similitude. No civil society could afford Him a symbol. "It is like a grain of mustard seed," He said, "which, when it is sown upon the earth, though it be less than all the seeds that are upon the earth, yet when it is sown, groweth up, and becometh greater than all the herbs, and putteth out great branches; so that the birds of the heaven can lodge under the shadow thereof." (R.V.) The germ in the seed grows by the unfolding of the life-principle which God has implanted. Its development depends upon no human power. So it is with the kingdom of Christ. It is a new creation. Its principles of development are the opposite of those that rule the kingdoms of this world. Earthly governments prevail by physical force; they maintain their dominion by war; but the founder of the new kingdom is the Prince of Peace. The Holy Spirit represents worldly kingdoms under the symbol of fierce beasts of prey; but Christ is "the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." John 1:29. In His plan of government there is no employment of brute force to compel the conscience. The Jews looked for the kingdom of God to be established in the same way as the kingdoms of the world. To promote righteousness they resorted to external measures. They devised methods and plans. But Christ implants a principle. By implanting truth and righteousness, He counterworks error and sin.

As Jesus spoke this parable, the mustard plant could be seen far and near, lifting itself above the grass and grain, and waving its branches lightly in the air. Birds flitted from twig to twig, and sang amid the leafy foliage. Yet the seed from which sprang this giant plant was among the least of all seeds. At first it sent up a tender shoot, but it was of strong vitality, and grew and flourished until it reached its present great size. So the kingdom of Christ in its beginning seemed humble and insignificant. Compared with earthly kingdoms it appeared to be the least of all. By the rulers of this world Christ's claim to be a king was ridiculed. Yet in the mighty truths committed to His followers the kingdom of the gospel possessed a divine life. And how rapid was its growth, how widespread its influence! When Christ spoke this parable, there were only a few Galilean peasants to represent the new kingdom. Their poverty, the fewness of their numbers, were urged over and over again as a reason why men should not connect themselves with these simple-minded fishermen who followed Jesus. But the mustard seed was to grow and spread forth its branches throughout the world. When the earthly kingdoms whose glory then filled the hearts of men should perish, the kingdom of Christ would remain, a mighty and far-reaching power. So the work of grace in the heart is small in its beginning. A word is spoken, a ray of light is shed into the soul, an influence is exerted that is the beginning of the new life; and who can measure its results?

Not only is the growth of Christ's kingdom illustrated by the parable of the mustard seed, but in every stage of its growth the experience represented in the parable is repeated. For His church in every generation God has a special truth and a special work. The truth that is hid from the worldly wise and prudent is revealed to the child-like and humble. It calls for self-sacrifice. It has battles to fight and victories to win. At the outset its advocates are few. By the great men of the world and by a world-conforming church, they are opposed and despised. See John the Baptist, the forerunner of Christ, standing alone to rebuke the pride and formalism of the Jewish nation. See the first bearers of the gospel into Europe. How obscure, how hopeless, seemed the mission of Paul and Silas, the two tentmakers, as they with their companions took ship at Troas for Philippi. See "Paul the aged," in chains, preaching Christ in the stronghold of the Caesars. See the little communities of slaves and peasants in conflict with the heathenism of imperial Rome. See Martin Luther withstanding that mighty church which is the masterpiece of the world's wisdom. See him holding fast God's word against emperor and pope, declaring, "Here I take my stand; I can not do otherwise. God be my help." See John Wesley preaching Christ and His righteousness in the midst of formalism, sensualism, and infidelity. See one burdened with the woes of the heathen world, pleading for the privilege of carrying to them Christ's message of love. Hear the response of ecclesiasticism: "Sit down, young man. When God wants to convert the heathen, He will do it without your help or mine." The great leaders of religious thought in this generation sound the praises and build the monuments of those who planted the seed of truth centuries ago. Do not many turn from this work to trample down the growth springing from the same seed today? The old cry is repeated, "We  know  that God spake unto Moses; as for this fellow [Christ in the messenger He sends], we know not from whence he is." John 9:29. As in earlier ages, the special truths for this time are found, not with the ecclesiastical authorities, but with men and women who are not too learned or too wise to believe the word of God. "For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called; but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are" (1 Cor. 1:26-28); "that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God" (1 Cor. 2:5). And in this last generation the parable of the mustard seed is to reach a signal and triumphant fulfillment. The little seed will become a tree. The last message of warning and mercy is to go to "every nation and kindred and tongue" (Rev. 14:6-14), "to take out of them a people for His name" (Acts 15:14; Rev. 18:1). And the earth shall be lightened with His glory.

Other Lessons from Seed-Sowing. From the work of seed sowing and the growth of the plant from the seed, precious lessons may be taught in the family and the school. Let the children and youth learn to recognize in natural things the working of divine agencies, and they will be enabled to grasp by faith unseen benefits. As they come to understand the wonderful work of God in supplying the wants of His great family, and how we are to co-operate with Him, they will have more faith in God, and will realize more of His power in their own daily life. God created the seed, as He created the earth, by His word. By His word He gave it power to grow and multiply. He said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth; and it was so. . . : And God saw that it was good." Gen. 1:11, 12. It is that word which still causes the seed to grow. Every seed that sends up its green blade to the sunlight declares the wonder-working power of that word uttered by Him who "spake, and it was"; who "commanded, and it stood fast." Ps. 33:9. Christ taught His disciples to pray "Give us this day our daily bread." And pointing to the flowers He gave them the assurance, "If God so clothe the grass of the field, . . . shall He not much more clothe you?" Matt. 6:11, 30. Christ is constantly working to answer this prayer, and to make good this assurance. There is an invisible power constantly at work as man's servant to feed and to clothe him. Many agencies our Lord employs to make the seed, apparently thrown away, a living plant. And He supplies in due proportion all that is required to perfect the harvest. In the beautiful words of the psalmist:

The material world is under God's control. The laws of nature are obeyed by nature. Everything speaks and acts the will of the Creator. Cloud and sunshine, dew and rain, wind and storm, all are under the supervision of God, and yield implicit obedience to His command. It is in obedience to the law of God that the spire of grain bursts through the ground, "first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear." Mark 4:28. These the Lord develops in their proper season because they do not resist His working. And can it be that man, made in the image of God, endowed with reason and speech, shall alone be unappreciative of His gifts and disobedient to His will? Shall rational beings alone cause confusion in our world? In everything that tends to the sustenance of man is seen the concurrence of divine and human effort. There can be no reaping unless the human hand acts its part in the sowing of the seed. But without the agencies which God provides in giving sunshine and showers, dew and clouds, there would be no increase. Thus it is in every business pursuit, in every department of study and science. Thus it is in spiritual things, in the formation of the character, and in every line of Christian work. We have a part to act, but we must have the power of divinity to unite with us, or our efforts will be in vain.

Whenever man accomplishes anything, whether in spiritual or in temporal lines, he should bear in mind that he does it through co-operation with his Maker. There is great necessity for us to realize our dependence on God. Too much confidence is placed in man, too much reliance on human inventions. There is too little confidence in the power which God stands ready to give. "We are laborers together with God." 1 Cor. 3:9. Immeasurably inferior is the part which the human agent sustains; but if he is linked with the divinity of Christ, he can do all things through the strength that Christ imparts. The gradual development of the plant from the seed is an object lesson in child training. There is "first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear." He who gave this parable created the tiny seed, gave it its vital properties, and ordained the laws that govern its growth. And the truths which the parable teaches were made a living reality in His own life. In both His physical and His spiritual nature He followed the divine order of growth illustrated by the plant, as He wishes all youth to do. Although He was the Majesty of heaven, the King of glory, He became a babe in Bethlehem, and for a time represented the helpless infant in its mother's care. In childhood He did the works of an obedient child. He spoke and acted with the wisdom of a child and not of a man, honoring His parents and carrying out their wishes in helpful ways, according to the ability of a child. But at each stage of His development He was perfect, with the simple, natural grace of a sinless life. The sacred record says of His childhood, "The child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him." And of His youth it is recorded, "Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man." Luke 2:40, 52. The work of parents and teachers is here suggested. They should aim so to cultivate the tendencies of the youth that at each stage of their life they may represent the natural beauty appropriate to that period, unfolding naturally, as do the plants in the garden.

Those children are most attractive who are natural, unaffected. It is not wise to give them special notice, and repeat their clever sayings before them. Vanity should not be encouraged by praising their looks, their words, or their actions. Nor should they be dressed in an expensive or showy manner. This encourages pride in them, and awakens envy in the hearts of their companions. The little ones should be educated in childlike simplicity. They should be trained to be content with the small, helpful duties and the pleasures and experiences natural to their years. Childhood answers to the blade in the parable, and the blade has a beauty peculiarly its own. The children should not be forced into a precocious maturity but should retain as long as possible the freshness and grace of their early years. The little children may be Christians, having an experience in accordance with their years. This is all that God expects of them. They need to be educated in spiritual things; and parents should give them every advantage that they may form characters after the similitude of the character of Christ. In the laws of God in nature, effect follows cause with unerring certainty. The reaping will testify as to what the sowing has been. The slothful worker is condemned by his work. The harvest bears witness against him. So in spiritual things: the faithfulness of every worker is measured by the results of his work. The character of his work, whether diligent or slothful, is revealed by the harvest. It is thus that his destiny for eternity is decided. Every seed sown produces a harvest of its kind. So it is in human life. We all need to sow the seeds of compassion, sympathy, and love; for we shall reap what we sow. Every characteristic of selfishness, self-love, self-esteem, every act of self-indulgence, will bring forth a like harvest. He who lives for self is sowing to the flesh, and of the flesh he will reap corruption.

God destroys no man. Everyone who is destroyed will have destroyed himself. Everyone who stifles the admonitions of conscience is sowing the seeds of unbelief, and these will produce a sure harvest. By rejecting the first warning from God, Pharaoh of old sowed the seeds of obstinacy, and he reaped obstinacy. God did not compel him to disbelieve. The seed of unbelief which he sowed produced a harvest of its kind. Thus his resistance continued, until he looked upon his devastated land, upon the cold, dead form of his first-born, and the first-born of all in his house and of all the families in his kingdom, until the waters of the sea closed over his horses and his chariots and his men of war. His history is a fearful illustration of the truth of the words that "whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Gal. 6:7. Did men but realize this, they would be careful what seed they sow. As the seed sown produces a harvest, and this in turn is sown, the harvest is multiplied. In our relation to others, this law holds true. Every act, every word, is a seed that will bear fruit. Every deed of thoughtful kindness, of obedience, or of self-denial, will reproduce itself in others, and through them in still others. So every act of envy, malice, or dissension is a seed that will spring up in a "root of bitterness" (Heb. 12:15), whereby many shall be defiled. And how much larger number will the "many" poison. Thus the sowing of good and evil goes on for time and for eternity. Liberality both in spiritual and in temporal things is taught in the lesson of seed sowing. The Lord says, "Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters." Isa. 32:20. "This I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully." 2 Cor. 9:6. To sow beside all waters means a continual imparting of God's gifts. It means giving wherever the cause of God or the needs of humanity demand our aid. This will not tend to poverty. "He which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully." The sower multiplies his seed by casting it away. So it is with those who are faithful in distributing God's gifts. By imparting they increase their blessings. God has promised them a sufficiency that they may continue to give. "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom." Luke 6:38. And more than this is wrapped up in the sowing and the reaping. As we distribute God's temporal blessings, the evidence of our love and sympathy awakens in the receiver gratitude and thanksgiving to God. The soil of the heart is prepared to receive the seeds of spiritual truth. And He who ministers seed to the sower will cause the seed to germinate and bear fruit unto eternal life. -

By the casting of the grain into the soil, Christ represents the sacrifice of Himself for our redemption. "Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die," He says, "it abideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit." John 12:24. So the death of Christ will result in fruit for the kingdom of God. In accordance with the law of the vegetable kingdom, life will be the result of His death. And all who would bring forth fruit as workers together with Christ must first fall into the ground and die. The life must be cast into the furrow of the world's need. Self-love, self-interest, must perish. But the law of self-sacrifice is the law of self-preservation. The seed buried in the ground produces fruit, and in turn this is planted. Thus the harvest is multiplied. The husbandman preserves his grain by casting it away. So in human life, to give is to live. The life that will be preserved is the life that is freely given in service to God and man. Those who for Christ's sake sacrifice their life in this world, will keep it unto life eternal. The seed dies to spring forth into new life, and in this we are taught the lesson of the resurrection. All who love God will live again in the Eden above. Of the human body laid away to molder in the grave God has said, "It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power." 1 Cor. 15:42, 43. Such are a few of the many lessons taught by nature's living parable of the sower and the seed. As parents and teachers try to teach these lessons, the work should be made practical. Let the children themselves prepare the soil and sow the seed. As they work, the parent or teacher can explain the garden of the heart with the good or bad seed sown there, and that as the garden must be prepared for the natural seed, so the heart must be prepared for the seed of truth. As the seed is cast into the ground, they can teach the lesson of Christ's death; and as the blade springs up, they can teach the lesson of the truth of the resurrection. As the plants grow, the correspondence between the natural and the spiritual sowing may be continued.

The youth should be instructed in a similar way. They should be taught to till the soil. It would be well if there were, connected with every school, lands for cultivation. Such lands should be regarded as God's own schoolroom. The things of nature should be looked upon as a lesson book which His children are to study, and from which they may obtain knowledge as to the culture of the soul. In tilling the soil, in disciplining and subduing the land, lessons may constantly be learned. No one would think of settling upon a raw piece of land, expecting it at once to yield a harvest. Earnestness, diligence, and persevering labor are to be put forth in treating the soil preparatory to sowing the seed. So it is in the spiritual work in the human heart. Those who would be benefited by the tilling of the soil must go forth with the word of God in their hearts. They will then find the fallow ground of the heart broken by the softening, subduing influence of the Holy Spirit. Unless hard work is bestowed on the soil, it will not yield a harvest. So with the soil of the heart: the Spirit of God must work upon it to refine and discipline it before it can bring forth fruit to the glory of God. The soil will not produce its riches when worked by impulse. It needs thoughtful, daily attention. It must be plowed often and deep, with a view to keeping out the weeds that take nourishment from the good seed planted. Thus those who plow and sow prepare for the harvest. None need stand in the field amid the sad wreck of their hopes. The blessing of the Lord will rest upon those thus work the land, learning spiritual lessons from nature. In cultivating the soil the worker knows little what treasures will open up before him. While he is not to despise the instruction he may gather from minds that have had an experience, and from the information that intelligent men may impart, he should gather lessons for himself. This is a part of his training. The cultivation of the soil will prove an education to the soul. He who causes the seed to spring up, who tends it day and night, who gives it power to develop, is the Author of our being, the King of heaven, and He exercises still greater care and interest in behalf of His children. While the human sower is planting the seed to sustain our earthly life, the Divine Sower will plant in the soul the seed that will bring forth fruit unto life everlasting.

"Like Unto Leaven" based on Matt. 13:33; Luke 13:20, 21. Many educated and influential men had come to hear the Prophet of Galilee. Some of these looked with curious interest upon the multitude that had gathered about Christ as He taught by the sea. In this great throng all classes of society were represented. There were the poor, the illiterate, the ragged beggar, the robber with the seal of guilt upon his face, the maimed, the dissipated, the merchant and the man of leisure, high and low, rich and poor, all crowding upon one another for a place to stand and hear the words of Christ. As these cultured men gazed upon the strange assembly, they asked themselves, Is the kingdom of God composed of such material as this? Again the Saviour replied by a parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."

Among the Jews leaven was sometimes used as an emblem of sin. At the time of the Passover the people were directed to remove all the leaven from their houses as they were to put away sin from their hearts. Christ warned His disciples, "Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy." Luke 12:1. And the apostle Paul speaks of the "leaven of malice and wickedness." 1 Cor. 5:8. But in the Saviour's parable, leaven is used to represent the kingdom of heaven. It illustrates the quickening, assimilating power of the grace of God. None are so vile, none have fallen so low, as to be beyond the working of this power. In all who will submit themselves to the Holy Spirit a new principle of life is to be implanted; the lost image of God is to be restored in humanity. But man cannot transform himself by the exercise of his will. He possesses no power by which this change can be effected. The leaven--something wholly from without--must be put into the meal before the desired change can be wrought in it. So the grace of God must be received by the sinner before he can be fitted for the kingdom of glory. All the culture and education which the world can give will fail of making a degraded child of sin a child of heaven. The renewing energy must come from God. The change can be made only by the Holy Spirit. All who would be saved, high or low, rich or poor, must submit to the working of this power. As the leaven, when mingled with the meal, works from within outward, so it is by the renewing of the heart that the grace of God works to transform the life. No mere external change is sufficient to bring us into harmony with God. There are many who try to reform by correcting this or that bad habit, and they hope in this way to become Christians, but they are beginning in the wrong place. Our first work is with the heart.

A profession of faith and the possession of truth in the soul are two different things. The mere knowledge of truth is not enough. We may possess this, but the tenor of our thoughts may not be changed. The heart must be converted and sanctified. The man who attempts to keep the commandments of God from a sense of obligation merely--because he is required to do so--will never enter into the joy of obedience. He does not obey. When the requirements of God are accounted a burden because they cut across human inclination, we may know that the life is not a Christian life. True obedience is the outworking of a principle within. It springs from the love of righteousness, the love of the law of God. The essence of all righteousness is loyalty to our Redeemer. This will lead us to do right because it is right--because right doing is pleasing to God. The great truth of the conversion of the heart by the Holy Spirit is presented in Christ's words to Nicodemus: "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born from above, he can not see the kingdom of God. . . . That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh and whither it goeth. So is every one that is born of the Spirit." John 3:3-8, margin. The apostle Paul, writing by the Holy Spirit, says, "God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God." Eph. 2:4-8.

The leaven hidden in the flour works invisibly to bring the whole mass under its leavening process; so the leaven of truth works secretly, silently, steadily, to transform the soul. The natural inclinations are softened and subdued. New thoughts, new feelings, new motives, are implanted. A new standard of character is set up--the life of Christ. The mind is changed; the faculties are roused to action in new lines. Man is not endowed with new faculties, but the faculties he has are sanctified. The conscience is awakened. We are endowed with traits of character that enable us to do service for God. Often the question arises, Why, then, are there so many, claiming to believe God's word, in whom there is not seen a reformation in words, in spirit, and in character? Why are there so many who cannot bear opposition to their purposes and plans, who manifest an unholy temper, and whose words are harsh, overbearing, and passionate? There is seen in their lives the same love of self, the same selfish indulgence, the same temper and hasty speech, that is seen in the life of the worldling. There is the same sensitive pride, the same yielding to natural inclination, the same perversity of character, as if the truth were wholly unknown to them. The reason is that they are not converted. They have not hidden the leaven of truth in the heart. It has not had opportunity to do its work. Their natural and cultivated tendencies to evil have not been submitted to its transforming power. Their lives reveal the absence of the grace of Christ, an unbelief in His power to transform the character. "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Rom. 10:17. The Scriptures are the great agency in the transformation of character. Christ prayed, "Sanctify them through Thy truth; Thy word is truth." John 17:17. If studied and obeyed, the word of God works in the heart, subduing every unholy attribute. The Holy Spirit comes to convict of sin, and the faith that springs up in the heart works by love to Christ, conforming us in body, soul, and spirit to His own image. Then God can use us to do His will. The power given us works from within outwardly, leading us to communicate to others the truth that has been communicated to us.

The truths of the word of God meet man's great practical necessity--the conversion of the soul through faith. These grand principles are not to be thought too pure and holy to be brought into the daily life. They are truths which reach to heaven and compass eternity, yet their vital influence is to be woven into human experience. They are to permeate all the great things and all the little things of life. Received into the heart, the leaven of truth will regulate the desires, purify the thoughts, and sweeten the disposition. It quickens the faculties of the mind and the energies of the soul. It enlarges the capacity for feeling, for loving. The world regards as a mystery the man who is imbued with this principle. The selfish, money-loving man lives only to secure for himself the riches, honors, and pleasures of this world. He loses the eternal world from his reckoning. But with the follower of Christ these things will not be all-absorbing. For Christ's sake he will labor and deny self, that he may aid in the great work of saving souls who are without Christ and without hope in the world. Such a man the world cannot understand; for he is keeping in view eternal realities. The love of Christ with its redeeming power has come into the heart. This love masters every other motive, and raises its possessor above the corrupting influence of the world.

The word of God is to have a sanctifying effect on our association with every member of the human family. The leaven of truth will not produce the spirit of rivalry, the love of ambition, the desire to be first. True, heaven-born love is not selfish and changeable. It is not dependent on human praise. The heart of him who receives the grace of God overflows with love for God and for those for whom Christ died. Self is not struggling for recognition. He does not love others because they love and please him, because they appreciate his merits, but because they are Christ's purchased possession. If his motives, words, or actions are misunderstood or misrepresented, he takes no offense, but pursues the even tenor of his way. He is kind and thoughtful, humble in his opinion of himself, yet full of hope, always trusting in the mercy and love of God. The apostle exhorts us, "As He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy." 1 Peter 1:15, 16. The grace of Christ is to control the temper and the voice. Its working will be seen in politeness and tender regard shown by brother for brother, in kind, encouraging words. An angel presence is in the home. The life breathes a sweet perfume, which ascends to God as holy incense. Love is manifested in kindness, gentleness, forbearance, and long-suffering. The countenance is changed. Christ abiding in the heart shines out in the faces of those who love Him and keep His commandments. Truth is written there. The sweet peace of heaven is revealed. There is expressed a habitual gentleness, a more than human love. The leaven of truth works a change in the whole man, making the coarse refined, the rough gentle, the selfish generous. By it the impure are cleansed, washed in the blood of the Lamb. Through its life-giving power it brings all there is of mind and soul and strength into harmony with the divine life. Man with his human nature becomes a partaker of divinity. Christ is honored in excellence and perfection of character. As these changes are effected, angels break forth in rapturous song, and God and Christ rejoice over souls fashioned after the divine similitude.

Hidden Treasure based on Matt. 13. "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth the field." In ancient times it was customary for men to hide their treasures in the earth. Thefts and robberies were frequent. And whenever there was a change in the ruling power, those who had large possessions were liable to be put under heavy tribute. Moreover the country was in constant danger of invasion by marauding armies. As a consequence, the rich endeavored to preserve their wealth by concealing it, and the earth was looked upon as a safe hiding place. But often the place of concealment was forgotten; death might claim the owner, imprisonment or exile might separate him from his treasure, and the wealth he had taken such pains to preserve was left for the fortunate finder. In Christ's day it was not uncommon to discover in neglected land old coins and ornaments of gold and silver. A man hires land to cultivate, and as the oxen plow the soil, buried treasure is unearthed. As the man discovers this treasure, he sees that a fortune is within his reach. Restoring the gold to its hiding place, he returns to his home and sells all that he has, in order to purchase the field containing the treasure. His family and his neighbors think that he is acting like a madman. Looking on the field, they see no value in the neglected soil. But the man knows what he is doing; and when he has a title to the field, he searches every part of it to find the treasure that he has secured. This parable illustrates the value of the heavenly treasure, and the effort that should be made to secure it. The finder of the treasure in the field was ready to part with all that he had, ready to put forth untiring labor, in order to secure the hidden riches. So the finder of heavenly treasure will count no labor too great and no sacrifice too dear, in order to gain the treasures of truth. In the parable the field containing the treasure represents the Holy Scriptures. And the gospel is the treasure. The earth itself is not so interlaced with golden veins and filled with precious things as is the word of God.

How Hidden. The treasures of the gospel are said to be hidden. By those who are wise in their own estimation, who are puffed up by the teaching of vain philosophy, the beauty and power and mystery of the plan of redemption are not perceived. Many have eyes, but they see not; they have ears, but they hear not; they have intellect, but they discern not the hidden treasure. A man might pass over the place where treasure had been concealed. In dire necessity he might sit down to rest at the foot of a tree, not knowing of the riches hidden at its roots. So it was with the Jews. As a golden treasure, truth had been intrusted to the Hebrew people. The Jewish economy, bearing the signature of Heaven, had been instituted by Christ Himself. In types and symbols the great truths of redemption were veiled. Yet when Christ came, the Jews did not recognize Him to whom all these symbols pointed. They had the word of God in their hands; but the traditions which had been handed down from generation to generation, and the human interpretation of the Scriptures, hid from them the truth as it is in Jesus. The spiritual import of the sacred writings was lost. The treasure house of all knowledge was open to them, but they knew it not. God does not conceal His truth from men. By their own course of action they make it obscure to themselves. Christ gave the Jewish people abundant evidence that He was the Messiah; but His teaching called for a decided change in their lives. They saw that if they received Christ, they must give up their cherished maxims and traditions, their selfish, ungodly practices. It required a sacrifice to receive changeless, eternal truth. Therefore they would not admit the most conclusive evidence that God could give to establish faith in Christ. They professed to believe the Old Testament Scriptures, yet they refused to accept the testimony contained therein concerning Christ's life and character. They were afraid of being convinced lest they should be converted and be compelled to give up their preconceived opinions. The treasure of the gospel, the Way, the Truth, and the Life, was among them, but they rejected the greatest gift that Heaven could bestow. "Among the chief rulers also many believed on Him," we read; "but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue." John 12:42. They were convinced; they believed Jesus to be the Son of God; but it was not in harmony with their ambitious desires to confess Him. They had not the faith that would have secured for them the heavenly treasure. They were seeking worldly treasure. And today men are eagerly seeking for earthly treasure. Their minds are filled with selfish, ambitious thoughts. For the sake of gaining worldly riches, honor, or power, they place the maxims, traditions, and requirements of men above the requirements of God. From them the treasures of His word are hidden. "The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned," 1 Cor. 2:14. "If our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost; in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." 2 Cor. 4:3, 4.

Value of the Treasure. The Saviour saw that men were absorbed in getting gain, and were losing sight of eternal realities. He undertook to correct this evil. He sought to break the infatuating spell that was paralyzing the soul. Lifting up His voice He cried, "What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" Matt. 16:26. He presents before fallen humanity the nobler world they have lost sight of, that they may behold eternal realities. He takes them to the threshold of the Infinite, flushed with the indescribable glory of God, and shows them the treasure there. The value of this treasure is above gold or silver. The riches of earth's mines cannot compare with it.

This is the treasure that is found in the Scriptures. The Bible is God's great lesson book, His great educator. The foundation of all true science is contained in the Bible. Every branch of knowledge may be found by searching the word of God. And above all else it contains the science of all sciences, the science of salvation. The Bible is the mine of the unsearchable riches of Christ. The true higher education is gained by studying and obeying the word of God. But when God's word is laid aside for books that do not lead to God and the kingdom of heaven, the education acquired is a perversion of the name. There are wonderful truths in nature. The earth, the sea, and the sky are full of truth. They are our teachers. Nature utters her voice in lessons of heavenly wisdom and eternal truth. But fallen man will not understand. Sin has obscured his vision, and he cannot of himself interpret nature without placing it above God. Correct lessons cannot impress the minds of those who reject the word of God. The teaching of nature is by them so perverted that it turns the mind away from the Creator. By many, man's wisdom is thought to be higher than the wisdom of the divine Teacher, and God's lesson book is looked upon as old-fashioned, stale, and uninteresting. But by those who have been vivified by the Holy Spirit it is not so regarded. They see the priceless treasure, and would sell all to buy the field that contains it. Instead of books containing the suppositions of reputedly great authors, they choose the word of Him who is the greatest author and the greatest teacher the world has ever known, who gave His life for us, that through Him we might have everlasting life.

Results of Neglecting the Treasure. Satan works on human minds, leading them to think that there is wonderful knowledge to be gained apart from God. By deceptive reasoning he led Adam and Eve to doubt God's word, and to supply its place with a theory that led to disobedience. And his sophistry is doing today what it did in Eden. Teachers who mingle the sentiments of infidel authors with the education they are giving, plant in the minds of youth thoughts that will lead to distrust of God and transgression of His law. Little do they know what they are doing. Little do they realize what will be the result of their work. A student may go through all the grades of the schools and colleges of today. He may devote all his powers to acquiring knowledge. But unless he has a knowledge of God, unless he obeys the laws that govern his being, he will destroy himself. By wrong habits he loses his power of self-appreciation. He loses self-control. He cannot reason correctly about matters that concern him most closely. He is reckless and irrational in his treatment of mind and body. By wrong habits he makes of himself a wreck. Happiness he cannot have; for his neglect to cultivate pure, healthful principles places him under the control of habits that ruin his peace. His years of taxing study are lost, for he has destroyed himself. He has misused his physical and mental powers, and the temple of the body is in ruins. He is ruined for this life and for the life to come. By acquiring earthly knowledge he thought to gain a treasure, but by laying his Bible aside he sacrificed a treasure worth everything else.

Search for the Treasure. The word of God is to be our study. We are to educate our children in the truths found therein. It is an inexhaustible treasure; but men fail to find this treasure because they do not search until it is within their possession. Very many are content with a supposition in regard to the truth. They are content with a surface work, taking for granted that they have all that is essential. They take the sayings of others for truth, being too indolent to put themselves to diligent, earnest labor, represented in the word as digging for hidden treasure. But man's inventions are not only unreliable, they are dangerous; for they place man where God should be. They place the sayings of men where a "Thus saith the Lord" should be. Christ is the truth. His words are truth, and they have a deeper significance than appears on the surface. All the sayings of Christ have a value beyond their unpretending appearance. Minds that are quickened by the Holy Spirit will discern the value of these sayings. They will discern the precious gems of truth, though these may be buried treasures. Human theories and speculations will never lead to an understanding to God's word. Those who suppose that they understand philosophy think that their explanations are necessary to unlock the treasures of knowledge and to prevent heresies from coming into the church. But it is these explanations that have brought in false theories and heresies. Men have made desperate efforts to explain what they thought to be intricate scriptures; but too often their efforts have only darkened that which they tried to make clear.

The priests and Pharisees thought they were doing great things as teachers by putting their own interpretation upon the word of God, but Christ said of them, "Ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God." Mark 12:24. He charged them with the guilt of "teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." Mark 7:7. Though they were the teachers of the oracles of God, though they were supposed to understand His word, they were not doers of the word. Satan had blinded their eyes that they should not see its true import. This is the work of many in our day. Many churches are guilty of this sin. There is danger, great danger, that the supposed wise men of today will repeat the experience of the Jewish teachers. They falsely interpret the divine oracles, and souls are brought into perplexity and shrouded in darkness because of their misconception of divine truth. The Scriptures need not be read by the dim light of tradition or human speculation. As well might we try to give light to the sun with a torch as to explain the Scriptures by human tradition or imagination. God's holy word needs not the torchlight glimmer of earth to make its glories distinguishable. It is light in itself--the glory of God revealed, and beside it every other light is dim. But there must be earnest study and close investigation. Sharp, clear perceptions of truth will never be the reward of indolence. No earthy blessing can be obtained without earnest, patient, persevering effort. If men attain success in business, they must have a will to do and a faith to look for results. And we cannot expect to gain spiritual knowledge without earnest toil. Those who desire to find the treasures of truth must dig for them as the miner digs for the treasure hidden in the earth. No halfhearted, indifferent work will avail. It is essential for old and young, not only to read God's word, but to study it with wholehearted earnestness, praying and searching for truth as for hidden treasure. Those who do this will be rewarded, for Christ will quicken the understanding.

Our salvation depends on a knowledge of the truth contained in the Scriptures. It is God's will that we should possess this. Search, O search the precious Bible with hungry hearts. Explore God's word as the miner explores the earth to find veins of gold. Never give up the search until you have ascertained your relation to God and His will in regard to you. Christ declared, "Whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask anything in My name, I will do it." John 14:13, 14. Men of piety and talent catch views of eternal realities, but often they fail of understanding, because the things that are seen eclipse the glory of the unseen. He who would seek successfully for the hidden treasure must rise to higher pursuits than the things of this world. His affections and all His capabilities must be consecrated to the search. Disobedience has closed the door to a vast amount of knowledge that might have been gained from the Scriptures. Understanding means obedience to God's commandments. The Scriptures are not to be adapted to meet the prejudice and jealousy of men. They can be understood only by those who are humbly seeking for a knowledge of the truth that they may obey it. Do you ask, What shall I do to be saved? You must lay your preconceived opinions, your hereditary and cultivated ideas, at the door of investigation. If you search the Scriptures to vindicate your own opinions, you will never reach the truth. Search in order to learn what the Lord says. If conviction comes as you search, if you see that your cherished opinions are not in harmony with the truth, do not misinterpret the truth in order to suit your own belief, but accept the light given. Open mind and heart that you may behold wondrous things out of God's word.

Faith in Christ as the world's Redeemer calls for an acknowledgment of the enlightened intellect controlled by a heart that can discern and appreciate the heavenly treasure. This faith is inseparable from repentance and transformation of character. To have faith means to find and accept the gospel treasure, with all the obligations which it imposes. "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3. He may conjecture and imagine, but without the eye of faith he cannot see the treasure. Christ gave His life to secure for us this inestimable treasure; but without regeneration through faith in His blood, there is no remission of sins, no treasure for any perishing soul. We need the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit in order to discern the truths in God's word. The lovely things of the natural world are not seen until the sun, dispelling the darkness, floods them with its light. So the treasures in the word of God are not appreciated until they are revealed by the bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness. The Holy Spirit, sent from heaven by the benevolence of infinite love, takes the things of God and reveals them to every soul that has an implicit faith in Christ. By His power the vital truths upon which the salvation of the soul depends are impressed upon the mind, and the way of life is made so plain that none need err therein. As we study the Scriptures, we should pray for the light of God's Holy Spirit to shine upon the word, that we may see and appreciate its treasures.

Reward of Searching. Let none think that there is no more knowledge for them to gain. The depth of human intellect may be measured; the works of human authors may be mastered; but the highest, deepest, broadest flight of the imagination cannot find out God. There is infinity beyond all that we can comprehend. We have seen only the glimmering of divine glory and of the infinitude of knowledge and wisdom; we have, as it were, been working on the surface of the mine, when rich golden ore is beneath the surface, to reward the one who will dig for it. The shaft must be sunk deeper and yet deeper in the mine, and the result will be glorious treasure. Through a correct faith, divine knowledge will become human knowledge. No one can search the Scriptures in the spirit of Christ without being rewarded. When man is willing to be instructed as a little child, when he submits wholly to God, he will find the truth in His word. If men would be obedient, they would understand the plan of God's government. The heavenly world would open its chambers of grace and glory for exploration. Human beings would be altogether different from what they now are, for by exploring the mines of truth men would be ennobled. The mystery of redemption, the incarnation of Christ, His atoning sacrifice, would not be as they are now, vague in our minds. They would be not only better understood, but altogether more highly appreciated.

In His prayer to the Father, Christ gave to the world a lesson which should be graven on mind and soul. "This is life eternal," He said, "that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent." John 17:3. This is true education. It imparts power. The experimental knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ whom He has sent, transforms man into the image of God. It gives to man the mastery of himself, bringing every impulse and passion of the lower nature under the control of the higher powers of the mind. It makes its possessor a son of God and an heir of heaven. It brings him into communion with the mind of the Infinite, and opens to him the rich treasures of the universe. This is the knowledge which is obtained by searching the word of God. And this treasure may be found by every soul who will give all to obtain it. "If thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; if thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God." Prov. 2:3-5.

Thank-you magamud. That first video is quite upsetting. I like that sort of thing -- and I hate that sort of thing. I'm always wondering about the way things are taught, relative to the way things really were and are. It's very difficult to verify much of anything -- especially regarding antiquity, the future, and the otherworldly. The three most important things are the most difficult to nail down -- yet we wish to have certainty in connection with all three. I guess that's the major reason why religion is such a can of worms -- and such a mess. I really don't think people would really want the Real-God. They want what they want. I'm frankly very, very upset with the way things are -- yet when I conceptualize idealistic solutions, I question whether they would work, regardless of how well thought out they were -- and how well intentioned they might be. Once again, I think it would be cool to be an Insider-Observer -- yet I know that the way things are -- and the way things really work -- are probably worse than reprehensible -- and they might have to be that way. Who knows?? Incidentally, I like reading what I'm posting -- yet I don't agree with everything. I've simply tried to create a certain context and atmosphere within this thread -- so that serious researchers might be motivated to discover innovative and satisfying solutions. I continue to imagine what it might be like for Michael to deal with Gabriel, Lucifer, the Heavenly-Host, and the Powers That Be -- regarding Divinity, Humanity, and Solar System Governance. My back is tight. My nerves are shot. My ears are ringing. My life is ruined. I'm partially-insane and completely-ignorant -- but other than that -- there's no problem, everything is fine, and the government has everything under control -- just like they have for thousands of years. What could go wrong?? Do you really wanna know??

Thank-you magamud. I'm trying very hard to not post -- but I might have to settle for limiting my posting to once a week (or once a month). Sounds a bit like sex -- does it not?! I've been wondering about the possibility of Four Covenants:

1. As It Was In the Beginning -- With the Perfect Law of the Lord.
2. The Old Covenant Contained Within the Torah.
3. The New Covenant Contained Within the New Testament.
4. As It Was in the Beginning -- With the Perfect Law of the Lord.

Here is another Biblical Study List:

Imagine a Solar System Queen of Heaven telling the Story of this Solar System -- using the above listed Books of the Bible. I know I'm a crazy heretic -- but what if the truth is somewhat similar to what I've hinted at??

Consider carefully the work of Donald Grey Barnhouse -- especially The Invisible War. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=donald+grey+barnhouse Once again, I am not personally claiming to have or know the Truth. I am simply trying to facilitate a very difficult modality of thinking about the unthinkable. Some of you need to do this -- but not too many of you. If I ever write a book -- it will be very different than this very strange thread. It would probably be some sort of a devotional book for the general-public. Consider Biblical Prophecy in the Context of Science Fiction -- but don't go nuts!! Here's another book which some of you might find interesting! Preparation for the Final Crisis by Fernando Chaij. http://www.amazon.com/Preparation-Crisis-Compilation-Passages-Prophecy/dp/0816309396/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390184219&sr=8-1&keywords=fernando+chaij Here is an educated critique of that book. http://spectrummagazine.org/article/column/2013/09/19/preparation-final-crisis-redux You'd really have to work full-time on this thread, to really 'get-it'. Once again, I don't even 'get' my own thread -- yet I truly think it is a very interesting road less traveled. Don't forget to listen to Sherry Shriner! http://www.sherrytalkradio.com/ I am NOT Sherry Shriner -- and I am NOT a disciple of Sherry Shriner. I do NOT believe everything Sherry Shriner says on her show -- but I DO think that Sherry Shriner is a disguised and significant individual of interest -- and she forces me to think about things I would NOT otherwise think about. I have some theories about Sherry Shriner, which I will NOT discuss. Please use extreme caution and discernment, if and when, you study this thread -- including all of the various and sundry links and references. This is an extremely dangerous area of research -- which is why I have mostly limited my activities to this thread -- where I suspect that most of those who view my work are farther down the rabbit-hole than I am. Please remember that this thread does NOT necessarily reflect who I am (and what I believe) in real-life. I have tried to view the way things are -- from all sides -- good and evil. Here is a repetition of a previous study list:

1. 1928 Book of Common Prayer with the Psalms.
2. Christ's Object Lessons by Ellen G. White.
3. Believe in the God Who Believes in You by Robert H. Schuller.
4. The Federalist Papers with the U.S. Constitution.
