For The Sake of Purity

The Jewish people do observe, according to thier own traditions, that some degree of seperation does exist between God and Man. Man has fallen from a condition of grace when he could have enjoyed being in God's presence. I have heard some Kabbalist teachings that it is in human nature to be filled with desires, and it is abundance which is the nature of God. The human being is a source of unlimited desires which can in no way be fulfilled without God's abundance. And if the one true and most high God is a God of unlimited abundance, how can there be a desire found within such a God?

But this very God did desire to give us laws to live by. This God has desired for a man to prove his obedience to him. Is this the same God of Jesus who could know what is in a man's heart? The God who desires proof of obedience does not truely exist, but it is still within the mind of men to imagine such a God. We have observed a parent to murder their own children and then proclaim that God did tell them to do this thing! And what does the community think about such excuses these days? If God did ever command one person to take another person's life then I suppose that Justice has been done no matter how we might feel about it. But the one true and most high God has never given such a command. The one true God has no desire to give us Laws or rules to live by.

But somehow we must become pure in order to return to God's presence, according to Jewish traditions. This is the main purpose which the temple in Jerusalem did serve, if a person was guilty of transgressing a law they could make an offering at the temple and become purified. Moses taught the Israeli people to make a burnt offering of flesh, the amount of livestock that a person held was very much in the nature of wealth among people in those days. So the carcuses of cattle were burt to ash upon an altar within the temple, and blood was sprinkled round the holy of holy places. And then this ash was prepared with some herbs or spices into a forumla which could then be sprinkled upon the bodies of the unpure supplicant and thereby render them pure.

But the whole idea of purity is a terrible fallacy which the people have embraced for far too long. The true value of a thing is in it's impurity, without impurity our kind of life here on Earth would not even be possible. The elements required to make up the human body are numerous and have different qualities; they are not all one and the same pure element. It is not possible for us to be pure and also exist as living persons at the same time. The things that we value the most in our world, the things that we have formed from the substance of the Earth, benefit from impurity. The function of a transistor within our computer systems depends on impurities; impurity is far more functional than purity. Purity has hardly any properties at all, and for the most part does not even exist within the real world. It is nigh on impossible for us to produce purity by any force or technology available to us. But of course I am talking about material things, I am talking about manifestation, substance. Perhaps there is a spirit apart from manifestation which may enjoy a condition of purity even if it is associated closely with impure manifestation?

I want to inform you of a new theory on the nature of our Universe. And this theory says that, "Consciousness," is a force of nature. Consciousness is a force which is present in every corner of the Universe in much the same way that gravity is an everpresent force. Consciousness is a force which interacts with all matter AND the vacume. Here on Earth we may observe the force of consciousness at work, we may observe that it does indeed interact with matter. We observe that living things do exercise some volition, we are in motion relative to all the other matter of the Universe, and we make choices about how to move. But truely we have no device that can measure consciousness directly as a force, so few people have argued successfully that it is one of the forces of nature. But as a force, "Consciousness," exists from the very begining and it does not depend on the existence of living things to be a force. Living entities depend upon consciousness which gives birth to the mind and the personality.

We know that theoretically there may be multiple Univereses in creation, in fact I do believe that its true. One Universe may exist which will never interact physically with our own, even though both may be expanding endlessly. Some people have even imagined another Universe to be exactly like our own but different in one minor detail. But it should be of no consequence to us if such other universes did exist. What lies between all of these possible universes is the source of all consciousness. So that the force of consciousness pre-exists even the creation of our Universe. And that source is the one true and most high God, even if it does not exist as a type of person. We are familure here on Earth with many different kinds of personalities, but we should not believe that God also exists as a personality like we do. And the force of consciousness is present here all around us, over every square inche of the surface of the Earth, and throughout every cubic centimeter of its mass. There is no seperation between us and God, we depend on God to exist as individual persons, always and forever. It is not possible for us to foresake consciousness itself and continue to exist as a personality.

To the best of my own personal knowledge it is not possible for God to become manifest within this Universe. But the Universe itself is a manfest thing, it is full of substance and an expansive vacume. The Universe itself may be a kind of person with a personality because the force of consciousness is interacting with it throughout. If you want to imagine God as a kind of person, then Heaven would be that person. And I say that Heaven is just a more personal name for this Universe according to ancient traditions.

So I say it would never be possible for us to obtain purity. There is no seperation between ourselves and God. And if you want to know God as a person then you'll have to get to know Heaven.
