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.

Moses Is The Root

Islam is one nation of people, it is not a nation with national borders and it does not have a body of governors or a standing army. Christianity is another nation of people and in many respects similar to the nation of Islam. And although Judaism is represented by only a very small fraction of the world's population, it too is a kind of nation. Judaism is most recognizable as the nation of Israeli people, whos civilization and traditions are unique in the world. In some respect both Islam and Christianity depend from Judaism.

These three nations are also 3 kings of the beast, as portrayed by a vision of John from Patmos. Very little is known about this particular John I imagine, and I do not care to discuss the nature of visions, whether or not they may be divinely inspired. The Revelation of John is a particularly popular and well known story because it has been included in publications of the Bible. The beast of this vision is identified by having 7 heads and 10 horns upon them, and these horns are in a sense kings or kingdoms of the world. But these kings i believe are not represented by actual individual people, and three of them are named Islam, Christianity and Judiaism. It is in the nature of these 3 horns that they share one common root, and that root is arguably corrupt, that root is Moses.

In fact Moses played an elaborate hoax on the people of Israel, even though he may have been assisted by the agency of Heaven, he was not particularly guided by this agency. Basicly everything that Moses did or said or wrote was according to the judgement of Moses, and he was not informed by a divine source any more than the average human being has been. Now I would acknowledge that Moses was a very well educated person for his time, and if there is a God of desires, who did desire to free the people of Israel from captivity, then probably Moses was the best man for the job. Moses relates an event to us of the burning bush, and for reasons of my own I suspect that may have been an authentic experience. But even though he hears the voice of God direct him to free Israel, in all probability Moses had already been contemplating how to solve this problem on his own long before this event came to pass. In other words it was the judgement and desires of Moses that really mattered, and not the judgement or desires of some Godly being. But for some reason I do not know, Heaven chose to support Moses with signs in order to make it easier for him to sell his own judgement to the people. And I believe that it must be true that Moses was willing to make a personal sacrifice in order to serve the wellfare of Israel, the nation with which he himself identified to belong to.

And I know that all the above assertions about Moses are true because he gave us the evidence against himself by his own words. At a mountain in Sinai the people did gather, and a storm was produced upon the summit of that mountain in order to convince the people that God himself was present there. And Moses went up to consult with this person and then he had much to say about the nature of justice to the Israli people at that time. And everything that Moses said about the nature of justice was perfectly tailored to the customs that the people already practiced, with some refinements. I think that it must be a natural desire for us to receive some form of directions or knowledge from a higher source, to be given understanding is something that we desperately want in some passages of life. And this desperation for guidance that Moses felt produced the 10 Laws or commandments. Naturally we would like to believe that we may recognize right from wrong, and if we can not then someone should tell us. The Jewish people love Laws above all else, they love to argue the fine points of language and meaning. In fact the 10 Laws of Moses were not enough for Israel, I do believe that they have over 200 seperate laws they must abide in order to be pure before God. And if there were not a law to tell us that we are missbehaving, then we would have no idea at all how a God might be pleased with us or disspleased.

But as the story at Mount Sinai goes, the people did produce the golden calf and begin to jubilate before this idol. And according to Moses, God was furious. God was so angry about this situation that he even considered destroying all the people all at once. And somehow, someway, a mere human being was able to talk God down from his anger. One man talked God out of destruction, he controlled God's anger, he persuaded God to change his mind! This is so remarkable that it is beyond the shadow of a doubt a complete fabrication. But Moses who could control God's anger, could not control his own anger. So he descended from the mount, assembled a posse of loyal young warriors and had them mercilessly slaughter 1000 of his own people! Moses who had already by this point become aware of the 10 commandments and particularly the prohibition against murder, became a murderer 1000 times over. And he tells us this story about and angry and violent God in order to justify this act. Moses was clearly an easily angered and vengeful man, so it is not so hard to understand how he might imagine an angry and vengeful God. But in my personal opinion, and from my own personal experiences, I do not believe that such a God truely exists.

And at the end of this long expedition through the wilderness, Moses came to rest. With one broad wave of his arm he declared that the country before the people was their promised land. And clearly he said this thing according to his own jugement and not according to some directions from God. And although it may have been unavoidable by this point in time, it was not a particularly wise decision. It is not possible that God in all wisdom, with a perfect understanding of consequences, would ever promise land to one group of people. It was a decision which would only create division between groups of people to this very day. And what cause should God have to divide us, one nation against another? I believe that Jesus remarked that a house divided is easily conquered, should we believe that God desires conquest of the human species? I think that if all the armies of the world could be combined into one army; and with all the advantages of technology that we have, this would still not make a super-power before the power of Heaven. The one true and most high God has no cause to divide us, division is something that we do choose for ourselves. The basic human being is perfectly capable to create deception in the world, and it requires no blame upon spiritual entities to explain why there is deception in the world.

But the Jewish people want to believe that THEY are circumscribed, they are particularly chosen among people. And what should it mean that one nation of people were chosen above others, naturally they should rule all the other nations of the world. But they are not circumscribed, they are still human beings. They still share common ancestors with the Palestinian people and every other people of the world today. But they do not know those people are their brothers and sisters, they believe that Jacob or Israel is the father of a nation and deny Adam his nation. When Moses waved his arm so long ago and promised the land, they took it by force, it did not matter that there were people already living in the area. And they do the very same thing in the modern age, and they are still practicing the old addage, "an eye for an eye."

If the nation of China said to the USA, "There can be no negotiations between us and there can be no peace, so long as you can not eliminate the crime of murder from among your own people!" Because the people of the USA can not control themselves, because they believe that to kill another person is the way to solving problems, they are a barbarian people. What other nation of the world should respect the national leaders of the USA and honor any negotiations with them? If China said this to the US Government it would be very much the same manner of treatment that the government of Israel shows to the government of Palestine. How much control do the governers actually have over the people that they govern?

But it does not really matter if Israel should exist as a soverign nation. For all the long years of the diaspora and while they have suffered the holocaust, they did never cease to be a nation of people. The Jewish people maintained their seperate identity throught recent history, and kept their own traditions intact. Israel is a nation without borders, it now covers the whole face of the Earth, it exists within every other nation. Just like the nations of Christianity and Islam, these are whole countries without borders.

Genesis

The Genesis story is mythological in nature and the story was not told to Moses by God.
According to the Genesis story Adam was formed from the clay and then brought to life, and he was the first human being to live on this Earth. The Genesis story offers us a genealogical record which tells us how long Adam lived and when he had a son. And we are told how long that son lived before having a son of his own. We can add up the number of years to the time of Noah, and we are told of certain events that happened after Noah. If we are reasonably sure that we know the date of one of these events it becomes possible to calculate how much time has passed since Adam was created. And the Jewish calender year is based on just such a calculation as carefully considered by rabbinical experts. According to the Jewish calender this is the year 5767 since the time of Adam. So according to the Genesis story Adam lived less than 6000 years ago, and if this is true then it is not possible that he was the first human being. There is sufficient archaeological evidence to prove for a fair certainty that the history of the human species here on planet Earth is at least 100,000 years long.

Consider for a moment Noah's flood. In the history of the world there have certainly been many great and devastating floods. In order for there to have been a flood that covered over all the land of the Earth, a very large amount of water would have to be brought to the Earth. And after the flood that amount of water must be made to disapear from the Earth. There simply is not enough water on the Earth today to account for Noah's flood. But perhaps it is still within the capacity of Heaven to produce that amount of water miraculously, even so this could not possibly have happened. This event happened after Adam's life, so it was less than 6000 years ago. Now we observe so much diversity within the human species at this time, we say that the people have many racial differences. And it is not possible for so much diversity to exist here if every single person on the planet were descended from one single family that lived only 6000 years ago.

The history of the Native American people on the North American continent is considered to be at least 10,000 years old. If Noah's flood had occurred less than 6000 years ago then the Native American people would have been completely wiped out. And of course the history of the Native American people precedes the creation of Adam as well.

Now perhaps we should consider that the Earth was created with all of this evidence for us to find. The full history of the Earth was fabricated and the world that we see is a deception. Therefor if the Genesis story is literal truth then the created Earth is a deception. Or else the evidence that we have found in the world is true and the Genesis story is a lie. If God were the source of the Genesis story then this God of Moses is a deceiver. And I personally do not choose to believe that the one true and most high God has any cause to deceive us or create a lie. The God that I believe in is a God of truth.

Perhaps we should consider the possibility that God is in fact a story teller. God is willing to fabricate a fable suitable for children because they will not be able to comprehend the truth. And by telling a fable the storyteller may incorporate some valuable moral lessons for the children to learn from.

But I believe that the most likely explanation for the source of the Genesis story is that it existed as an oral history among the Israeli people. And since we know that Moses was a well educated man by the Egyptian priesthood, we may comfortably assume that parts of the Genesis story were learned by Moses from documented Egyptian records. Moses brought the whole story together from several different sources most likely and wrote it all down in his Book of Genesis.
