Lesson One: New Tenets Of Human Existence
Existing Directives
Although many gems---successful, creative, spiritual inspired ideas---exist within the realm of mass consciousness, the slivers are far more significant and far less obvious. There is no way to tell the difference between them, unless the spirit is invoked. Until these Lessons, it has not been apparent how to listen to spirit.
I suppose if the "slivers" were obvious to us, we would reject them out-of-hand without hesitation. However, they are subtle and kept that way for sustaining purposes. That is the key to control.
Thus, humans, their cultures and civilizations have evolved without the critical understanding or benefit of their sixth, emotional sense. Mind often stands between Spirit and body, and mass consciousness now stands between spirit and its physical expression. With these new understandings, mind, body and spirit are at last reunited. Spirit can direct the development of mind to achieve maximum fulfillment and expression. Wholeness of experience can be achieved. The Grace of internal guidance is restored.
Such a change in human nature opens up possibilities never before dreamed of, and the consequence of this "opening" can result in a freedom of opportunity that eliminates all the slivers of our environment.
This is a grand step forward in human existence. It is a step placing humans upon the intended evolutionary path, a higher road than simply self-preservation. With this step comes tremendous liberation. The very world expands when adding this crucial puzzle piece to the picture of human existence.
Up until now, most revolutionary ideas, be they Christianity or Communism, while evoking an ideal too often unattainable, have fallen short or failed completely. This has usually happened because they have slid under the control of organizations or bureaucracies. With this ideal (or expansion) control lies within the individual, where it was always meant to be.
It brings a whole new world---a world far superior to the one with which most are now familiar. Humans now need to look about, to see their everyday surroundings in this new enlightened perspective. Each facet of life must be reexamined. This is where the inner work begins. Right Responses are in order which redesign the mind to accommodate the language and wisdom of spirit. New knowledge must replace old. Spiritual directives must replace those of human origin.
It is the equivalent of what the Founding Fathers did in creating the constitutional principles by which the United States was meant to be governed. This "document" served as an inspiration throughout the planet. The time has come again, for a revival of that creative spirit.
Upon redefining basic human nature, the next logical step is to examine how humans operate within existing conditions and directives. For it will be much easier to attune and respond to the feelings of spirit if certain habits are first examined. New strategies of acceptance, development, and cooperation will be hampered by existing directives which predict and rely upon resistance, defense, and competition, assuming that they are the only natural impulses.
Human nature cannot evolve from its current stage to the next stage, without a full understanding of its present makeup, anymore than the manufacturer could improve upon his automobile without a thorough understanding of its current operation, or a composer could create original works of music, without studying the subject matter.
Scientific & Religious Directives
We know now that many social structures are based upon misassumptions of human nature. They recognize and facilitate only self-preservationary behavior, and do not dare to presume something as optimistic as a spiritual intention. "Modern" human science pronounces the universe to be a machine, with deterministic forces interacting, concluding that all life results from a grand cosmic accident. It views the physical without regard or hint of the spirit, the order, the beauty, or the intention within. To scientists, humans are also theorized to be machines, driven by the prime directive of survival as the only human purpose.
The experience of getting lost while driving somewhere, is akin to where we are as a human race. Being male dominated, it's tough to admit it in the first place. Once accepted, the next difficult step is asking directions.
Scientific assumptions of selfish generic determinism also underlie many physical and psychological health directives. People are seen as hopelessly diseased and disordered, with minimal control over the innate forces motivating them only toward survival. Spirit is never considered nor even mentioned in such discussions. Of course, this assumption is partly true. Without the mental conditions for the broader purpose of self-development and expression, humans do innately respond toward self-preservation. This is why evolutionary theory is based upon "survival of the fittest". But survival is a minimal spiritual directive to ensure physical forms continue---hardly the whole story of human potential. Many directives from health advisors must be reframed within the context of universal human needs, reconnection to spiritual intention, and the feeling system.
Scientists are the "high-priests" of the current state of western civilization, that force which is most influential in the world today. They support the so-called enlightened societies, while the religious institutions try desperately to pile spiritual meaning on top of a skeptical world. If such a state could be reversed, it would be the scientific community applying understanding to what would be a universally accepted premise of spiritual reality.
In contrast, modern religions do have faith in, and focus upon the spirit. They provide fulfillment for the spiritual needs for meaning and connection. Religious experience can invoke tremendous spiritual attunement and bliss. But more often than not, religions assume spirit to be somehow separate and unreachable except through beliefs (touted as unimpeachable truths), through rituals and intermediaries ---some of which have become very limiting, disempowering and dogmatic. And each ensures an innate evil nature which will most certainly dominate and lead humankind astray.
Like police departments, these religious institutions truly believe that they preserve society and represent a line of defense between order and chaos. They affirm that without religious directives to guide us, we would revert back to savages. This is why laws (and lawyers) are so omnipresent in the industrialized world. There is a presumption that without laws (religious and secular), we would all beat each other to death with "high-tech" clubs.
Such world views offer meaning at a high price indeed, often defying ration. They are saturated with ideas, which separate and maintain a distance between the Creator and the creations. They often enforce the acceptance of mental slivers and conflicting information. Such conflicts allow the reconciliation between the logically opposing dictates of "Thou Shalt Not Kill" and the practice of holy war.
Western civilization has set records in barbaric behavior toward itself and non-Westernized societies. We profess the Christian principle of "Love Thy Neighbor" in churches and then go off to slaughter for the justification of the moment. This conduct reflects the disrespect we have for ourselves.
They also manipulate the emotional system in ways that are counter to spiritual intention. They can instill guilt feelings connected to any behavior deemed inappropriate in a given doctrine, many of which are perfectly beautiful and good in the eye of the Creator. When the mind is ordered to overrule the spirit, this creates conflict and negative emotion in humans. If the human accepts that order, the result is deprecation, depression, and the "breaking" of the spirit. The faithful are then limited to appeasing these feelings within the rules, rituals and interpretations of the masters of their faith. They remain forever in need of external direction.
Breaking the bond between "self deprecation" and self-love, can be the greatest challenge most face today, for it requires turning away from the practices of accepted society and the shunning that follows, and exploring that inner compass which not only preserves us, but is there to direct us toward our expansive spiritual nature.
Each and every such directive should now be analyzed against the wisdom of spirit. When feelings are given the freedom to do their intended job, they offer the most valid and true judgments.
At some point in the future, those who ultimately come to appreciate them, will look back upon these Lessons as being quite elementary. Only then will we know how far we had to travel and how short the distance was.
Political and Governmental Directives
Modern human political and legal structures also ignore spirit, and assume humans to be innately evil. They produce laws and codes that seek to control the self-preservationary impulses as if they are only impulses. They create societies with limited opportunities for humans to meet the spiritual needs, forcing them to compete rather than facilitating the innate cooperative impulse. For they are based upon scientific and religious knowledge, also without any concept of innate spiritual guidance. They also strive (albeit unconsciously), to meet the human needs. But in not knowing exactly what they are, it has been a trial and error learning process.
These "structures" are based on Old Testament Laws (the 10 Commandments) and a presumption that if "Laws" are good then more "Laws" are better. Control is in contradiction to Spirituality, which includes Free Will and Creating One's Own Reality. If caring about each other were the guiding principle, laws of control would be much less necessary.
Those systems, laws, and codes that have endured, must be meeting an adequate level of human need despite their inherent flaws, or they would have been rejected by humans and left behind as civilizations evolved. History is filled with external dictates that have been rejected in the most revolutionary of ways by humans. Indeed, many such rejections are abundantly evident in the world today. The most recent forms of government which have evolved are perhaps the most cognizant, accommodating and respectful of many human needs. But even they still struggle through trial and error approaches.
Most of the societies that exist with "laws" which predominate over the principles of "freedom", are experiencing a state of deterioration. Societies that encourage that trend, i.e. more law and fewer freedoms, are losing respect for their governing bodies.
Still, like science and religion, every existing political body or government contains assumptions that must be replaced with accurate ideas about human nature. These ideas will spring from the spiritual expression of individuals who are attuned to their inner guidance. Such people will make the accurate interpretation and response to their emotional signals. They will make Right Responses to develop the mind. They will offer Light responses to share their improved ideas with their communities. They will Fight when it is appropriate to stand firm for their spirit, never to deny its supreme wisdom again. And they will take Flight if all else fails, to begin creating new worlds that suit the spirit, steadfastly rejecting external control and allowing themselves the empowerment that is their birthright.
As long as there is freedom to communicate ideals and fresh ideas on how they can be implemented, such societies will have more Right and Light Responses and fewer Fight and Flight reactions.
The Power Of The Individual
It is a common assumption that organizations lead and guide individuals. Schools instill knowledge, governments instill rules, religions instill morals and beliefs, each imparting information into the individual---as if humans are like inflatable balloons. Although such exchanges of information are essential to prepare humans with the necessary mental tools to succeed in physical experience, the external sources do not hold the power.
The only "power" they hold over us is the power we give them. Just as parents are (and should be) relieved of their power over the child when it moves from childhood to adulthood; so the human race should begin to consider its emancipation from the organizations that rule over it in the progression toward spiritual maturity.
There are tremendous beliefs to overcome regarding the powerlessness of the individual. In each of the human cultural institutions, there are deeply ingrained beliefs that individuals can only achieve knowledge and control from their institutions themselves, from within the Mind of Man. Humans subordinate themselves to the doctrines of their country, their faith, their political party, their parents, their social pundits--- to anyone except the wisdom of their own spirit. The generally accepted idea is that human development comes fromoutside in.
This is, in part, encouraged by certain practices of our physical activity, such as food, water, medicine, knowledge, etc., the things we take "in" in order to maintain ourselves. Yet, when we do something creative or inventive, we draw from within ourselves and bring it out into physical expression, i.e. a painting, a poem, or even a stealth bomber. Even a cure for some physical ailment could come from within someone's mind. Could we do this without having been educated in these fields? Obviously, someone had to have knowledge somewhere, or the knowledge in those fields would not exist .
But within the new understandings, one can see that all change---internal and external, individual and social---begins within the individual. All individual and social evolution springs from the inside out. No group could exist without the creative vision, participation and expression of its individual minds. There would be no mass consciousness without the combined thought of each individual consciousness .
A society that forgets the importance of individuality and sacrifices it for the sake of security, begins its journey down a slippery slope to tyranny. When spontaneity becomes less valued than conformity, we begin to die. As one Greek philosopher but it: "Organization is the death of an idea".
Yet societies have taken on lives of their own, due to the limitations and misunderstandings within mass consciousness regarding human nature. They often fight to maintain the status quo, insisting upon the outside-in mode, and rejecting individual contributions which may not fit with the existing ideas.
The religious and political history of the 18th and 19th century stands as an example of the rejection of the institutionalized control over the lives of individuals. In a true sense, in rejecting the dictatorial control of the religious institutions of western society, it ushered in a more spiritual opportunity for all the members of that institution. This was true, as well, in the movement from monarchy to democracy. Unfortunately, this movement did not complete itself to the point where other controlling institutions ceased to exist.
But human grouping that does not offer human freedom, power, meaning, connection and creative opportunities in some minimal form, cannot be successful in the long term. Spirit will reject them. The spirit has been evident in its rejection of such external control through individual and social pains and acts of self defensive violence. Individual members will Fight or take Flight. Such actions, when viewed through the distorted lens of Mass Consciousness, have only served to reinforce the inaccurate belief that humans are inclined only toward selfish, evil actions and that without external control, they will destroy each other. Thus, the misguidance continues and still more external control is attempted.
The military actions being carried out on the planet at this point in time are almost all about groups defying control from without and attempting to maintain control within the respective societies. The point of spiritual expression is not considered in the attempts to arrive at permanent solutions to the conflicts, at least not to the degree that it is noticeable.
History shows this cycle. Countries that have needed physical or psychological walls to contain their members will ultimately fail. Such controlling communities will be overthrown, or other, more enlightened civilizations will attract their members. For true power and control must spring from the individual. In respect of this truth, communication channels and efficient responses to input are essential in any organization, whether it be a family, a religion, a scientific or political community, a club, a company, or a country. It is the task of individual members of every social institution to be receptive to the expressions of the individuals, and allow the natural course of evolution to flow unimpeded.
Once the value of the human spirit (and its innate creative nature) is understood and accepted by a societal organization, then the needed intellectual and emotional energy will flow freely and it will continue to flow as its individual members continue to grow.
Now that the understandings and strategies for living in the light are in place, we can start exercising human power by redefining the contents of mind. You have begun a lifelong process of self-development, a redesigning of your mind, but this time, under spiritual guidance. You will be examining and sorting through your entire concepts and beliefs about life. You are committing to search out and reject anything and everything limiting to the spirit. This will require rethinking your philosophies, your political, economic, social and religious beliefs, and by reframing your life experiences in this new enlightened context.
This need not be done under a compelling pressure to succeed, accomplishing this within the confines of normal time and space. A lifetime can be as long or short as we elect it to be. The exercise of free will applies to everything in our physical environment, even ourselves. We are totally in control of the above indicated process, and we have a tremendous ally to aid us in this process, our individual, spiritual or higher self.
Be confident in the knowledge that the mind can be fooled by its own illusions, but the spirit cannot. The Mind of Man, mass consciousness, has become the respected source and supply of truth at the expense of spiritual intention. External guidance springs from mind and all outlets of external guidance must be subjugated to spiritual internal guidance.
What does that mean exactly? I believe it means that we have an inner guidance system that can keep us on course toward whatever destination we elect to enhance our spiritual possibilities. Getting in touch with that "inner guidance" is no more complicated than seeking guidance from our conscience. It can be accomplished through such techniques as meditation or a reflection on our dreams, when we give that part of our nature the instructions to provide us with the appropriate insight.
This commitment is not disrespectful of your mothers, or your teachers or your preachers. It need not diminish the wisdom imparted from the realm of mind in any way. Everything truly good for you will be saved and valued as always, but now you will have a way of knowing what is "good" in the highest sense. You will feel such validity from inside out. You will be utilizing your innate spiritual judge to tell you which ideas are gems to be kept and polished or which are slivers to be expelled. Your spirit will faithfully and tirelessly speak these pronouncements through your feelings of pleasure and pain.
This is what "spirit" does best when given the opportunity. It is only a matter of reestablishing that trust between our human nature and our spiritual nature and reaping the benefits of going with the flow.
Restoring the Blank Mental State
It may be helpful to think of your mind as a house with various rooms. As you "walk about" in this mental house, you will be directing your consciousness into its various rooms. Your mental house is already filled with many beliefs and ideas. But the contents of every room must now be sorted and each idea tested against the spiritual judge. With this vision, empty a large room and place a sign upon the door which states: "Gems According To Spirit".
The capability of compartmentalizing events in our lives is one that can be used to our advantage. We have seen public figures exercise that capacity of late, seeming to be immune from the consequences of their actions. However, it is clearly not always the "gems" that are given a special room.
Then mark the door of an adjoining empty room with "Incoming Information". Think of this as a receiving room, a holding tank, where each and every incoming idea, belief or conclusion from experience will be loaded with potential information. Some good, some silly but harmless, and some quite hurtful. The feedback from your experiences provides an endless supply of highly valuable input for this room. Maximum mental development is contingent upon a continuing source of new experience. This room is like an interim, limbo room, where everything is welcomed and accepted, whether or not it matches existing values, knowledge and ideas. This is the room in which it is appropriate to "judge not". For this is the room where each piece of information awaits its spiritual judgement. But it is essential that everything must be allowed in. All mental emotional boundaries should be removed from the front of this door, to allow access to every meaningful result of experience. Guarding against defenses such as avoidance and denial will allow this room to function properly.
Filling our lives with prejudicial concepts is the equivalent to putting iron bars in front of this "Incoming Information" door and eventually, the hinges to this door become so rusted that the very concept of such a room becomes lost, as does our potential for growth. On the other hand, an "open room" is like an "open mind", essential for growth, which is the natural state of the universe.
Adjoining this receiving room will be a special judgment room where the actual spiritual determinations are made. The room can be called the"Spiritual Advisory". This is a very special, personal, even sacred room, wherein you can retreat to analyze the incoming information that has caused emotional dissonance. Use good, vivid mental imagery and create the room to any specifications. Design and decorate it in any way pleasing to your spirit.
Keep in mind that anything we create for ourselves on a mental or emotional level, is as real (and more so) as what we create on a physical level. Because our physical existence is so governed by the concepts of time and space, tying our spiritual development to these concepts can actually enhance the progress we can make in this familiar environment.
Whenever a negative feeling is experienced, your consciousness is being directed into the Spiritual Advisory, bringing along a belief from the receiving room. Such feelings will come and go throughout your day; the power is in understanding what they are telling you. In this feeling moment, the idea creating the feeling is "on the stand" in the spiritual court. With your active participation in this process, you can direct the belief where it belongs. Once a belief has passed inspection in the Spiritual Advisory, it can be placed within the Gem room. This process can take a quick moment of reflection and a simple mental shift. Or for more deeply held beliefs, you can mentally retreat into this room to focus intently upon the situation, your feelings and reactions to figure out the core belief. (The more powerful the emotion, the more entrenched the belief, the more effort required to pry it loose.)
Life is sort of an emotional mirror, throwing back at us the consequences of our beliefs. While the physical mirror image is a reverse to which we adapt our thinking, the emotional reflection requires both courage and honesty to deal with it. If those qualities can be brought into play, the benefits are even more helpful than the results from using our physical mirrors to enhance our image.
Of course, everyone's mental house is already filled with existing beliefs and this is good. But each such room will also now be treated as incoming information. Negative feelings will direct your attention to these rooms as situations arise so that you can assess and respond to them accordingly. Ultimately each room will be emptied and replaced with Gems, until every room is filled with nothing but Gems. This will be the Spiritually intended mental state.
In the end, your house will be an "abode of great peace", a sanctuary of comfort. Those who become acquainted with it, will feel most comfortable and uplifted.
Of course, even items in Gem rooms are always subject to recall into this Spiritual Advisory as outside circumstances, requirements and challenges change. They may need to be updated. Revisions to many existing beliefs will be necessary, gems can be polished and occasionally recut. Mental fluidity ensures the maximum possible spiritual expression and most rewarding, complete physical experience. Never fear, the feelings will always call forth that which is in conflict with the needs of spirit.
Our Spiritual Nature is that "final nature" which will never let us down. Because it is our "true" nature, it consistently works to bring our loose strands back to the source of our being; and because of our adventuresome nature, our ventures and experiences contribute to the value of our Spiritual growth. This is a natural process which, at present, is not encouraged by the institutions which govern our lives. Many acts of liberation are considered a threat to the protected status quo.
When conducting your mental housekeeping, you will find that you need a removal system. There should be a garbage chute in this mental house, wherein ideas can be discarded if they have been proven by spirit to be limiting. This should be marked with a sign "Slivers for Recycle." This might be easier than assumed. If valid replacement beliefs have been chosen and there are no other related beliefs, disposal is as simple as a decision to do so. However, if there are relatives, they will resurface in future experiences. They can simply be put through the process again. If disposal has been complete, there will never again arise a situation in which that feeling is experienced for the same reason. Adequate and continuous disposal increases over-all positive experience for this very reason.
Just as we work with our physical mirrors, perfecting what we want to see, so we can work with our emotional state until those beliefs which are a distraction to our growth, cease to be part of our nature.
The first step in living in the Light will be to place the new understandings in the recently vacated rooms. The knowledge of the spiritual communicative system should be the first and only occupant in the Gem room. From the moment the inner voice can be heard, each and every piece of information should be measured against it. Even the messages within these Lessons should begin as incoming information to be passed trough the Spiritual Advisory. Living in the light means just that, without exception.
Let's face it, if we are going to start making exceptions (i.e. these Lessons), then anything can become an "exception", until the intention of the system is compromised.
Any truth of mind which resonates with spirit can be considered just that. Any truth of mind which is discordant with spirit must be reexamined. Each act of mental housekeeping is an active Right Response. Each acceptance of incoming information ensures defensive Flight Responses are not indulged. Each acceptance of mental accountability is the owning of the experience, which minimizes the choices of Flight Responses and other external blaming or resistance. With accurate interpretation and optimal responses, your feelings will help you develop your mind and your world. The house of mind can be an incredible edifice, a huge expanse of gem rooms with tools for every situation, challenge and environment. It can be a model of spiritual expression and fulfillment.Or it can be a slum of frustration and suffering, with rigid emotional boundaries that defend inadequate beliefs and severely limit physical, social and spiritual mobility.
Frustration and suffering can be an addiction of mind that can only be overcome with realization and an intent to find an alternative. These recommendations are the piano keys of a new melody.
To begin this new strategy of mental housekeeping, the first new ideas can now be received into your mental house. These are to be some universal human tenets, which are logical consequences springing from the now complete picture of human nature. Your feelings will affirm each and every idea in line with spiritual intention, no matter how far it may be from your present state of understanding. Take each to the Spiritual Advisory and test it out. See if it resonates with your spirit and fits with your experience. Once validated by spirit and placed within the Gem room, such ideas become the beacon for human thought and action.
What follows is the Test of the Tenets!
The Tenets of Human Nature
1. Humans are innately "good" and moral when attuned to, and purposely fully directed by spiritual guidance. (Concepts of evil are to be eliminated).
2. Humans are spiritually guided toward the purpose of cooperative, self development and expression, wherein experience expands and consciousness evolves.
3. Humans are driven by competitive self preservation if not attuned to spiritual guidance. (Experience becomes reduced then to mere survival, creating the illusion of evil, and evolution is stymied).
4. Spiritual guidance is physically manifested in human needs for freedom, power, connection, meaning and creativity. When all are met, humans are naturally accepting and on purpose. If not, they will revert to resistance and defensive self-preservation.
5. The spirit speaks through the language of feelings, motivating behaviors of "approach" and "avoid" in accordance with needs and purpose.
6. Without understanding the difference between spirit and mind, (Cultural self and genetic self), the spiritual feedback system can appear to give mixed signals and motivations.
7. All Feelings are legitimate and are to be welcomed as valuable communicative corrective informational signals, and acted upon within the rules of response. (Right, > Light, > Fight, > Flight).
8. The emotions of spirit (joy, anger, sadness and fear) indicate internal developments (Right Responses) and external expressions (Light Responses) are in order.
9. The emotions of mind (guilt, envy, embarrassment, hope, confidence, shame, etc.) indicate developmental Right Responses are in order.
10. Fight & Flight Responses are necessary only when true self preservation is at risk, evidenced by spiritual anger and fear. Such defenses are to be understood as automatic reactions to ensure base survival, and avoided as first choice responses.
Conclusion:
Human goodness and destiny lies in wait for spiritual guidance.
The Tenets of Human Existence
1. Human purpose is to develop and express spiritual potential.
2. Humans have been given complete power to create any desired conditions to achieve their purpose, mediated through the gift of human mind.
3. Humans have been graced with unlimited freedom to ascertain contents of mind, with no restrictions whatsoever.
4. Humans use this freedom to create knowledge and belief systems containing gems, slivers, or both, and spirit does nothing to interfere.
5. Slivers accumulate and interfere with spiritual communication, separating humans from the totality of All That Is, and creating the proverbial Fall From Grace.
6. Spiritual intention can be communicated through direct creative inspiration only when mind is unfettered by slivers, but is always communicated through human feelings of pleasure and pain.
7. Although contents of human mind and mass consciousness have severely limited the mental acquisition of spiritual intent, mind can neversuccessfully negate the feeling system.
8. The spiritual safeguard of mind is human feeling, to signal the presence, and motivate the removal, of slivers and ultimately bring a return to Grace.
9. As the mind is revamped under spiritual direction, physical consciousness expands to receive increasingly direct spiritual insight.
10. "The Creator" will not interfere in the physical realm to rescue humans except in offering spiritual insight through the feeling system of each individual. For the creator exists within.
11. Human destiny is to restore mental empowerment and spiritual expression through attuning to spiritual wisdom.
Conclusion:
For evolution of consciousness, to restore fluidity of mind and to return to the spiritually intended path, each human must listen and act upon feelings.
The Tenets of Creative Reality
1. The object of the physical "game" is to experience spirit in form, totality within limitation, light within darkness. The more expression, the better.
2. Physical reality is illusory, fluid, limited to time-space and the realm of mind. Spiritual reality is consciousness seeking expression and expansion. It is unlimited, universal, and everlasting creative power.
3. Spirit needs mind to physically create. Humans create their own physical reality by directing spiritual energy (will power) through the images of mind. Mind converts willfully chosen images into physical experience according to intention and belief.
4. Intention is communicated by the language of feeling in both directions, Spirit to human. Physically, Spirit guides individuals through approach and avoid feelings. Mentally, spiritual insights are received as direct thought, and spiritual judgments about beliefs are indicated by pleasure or pain.
5. Humans communicate intention to Spirit through mental imagery, thoughts and feelings. (Feelings are the most powerful communicators given the present state of mental enmeshment).
6. Mind creates. Thoughts surrounded in positive emotion will attract positive events. Thoughts surrounded in negative emotion will attract negative events.
*We all get what we fear or hate, but also what we love and believe.
7. Fearing an undesirable event can keep it at bay, but fear generated safety contracts experience, collapsing it and frustrating spirit. Joy generates fulfillment and expands experience, and promoting the expansion of All That Is. (Eliminating conditions for negative emotional response, will eliminate the attraction of negative physical events. Promoting conditions for positive emotional experience, will attract positive, desirable events).
8. There is no other creative source of experience. There is no valid fatalism, no "bad karma", no evil force manipulating human experience---no valid blame to be placed. All events are created by individuals themselves!!!
*The above is a significant paragraph!
9. Spirit exists beyond space-time, in past, present and future.
10. Some choices and destiny paths span lifetimes such that certain genetic and cultural conditions are created at birth to facilitate that direction.
11. If negative events occur despite all attempts to follow spiritual intention, spiritual destiny beyond mind can be assumed. (Eventually, the positive outcomes will explain and justify any seemingly "negative" interim necessities).
12. With spiritual intention and guidance, humans can create desired events and never again be victims of their own ignorance, nor be captive slaves within their own power.
Conclusion:
Humans have total creative freedom. Mind creates reality, spirit empowers and directs. Desirable physical outcomes are achieved in direct proportion to mental liberation and accessibility to spiritual intention.
The Tenets of Social Structure
1. "Civilization" can only evolve if human nature is understood and accommodated.
2. Existing civilizations are based upon a norm of competition and self-preservation resulting from disconnection between mind and spirit.
3. External dictates must be aligned with internal ones.
4. Human needs for freedom, power, creativity, meaning and connection must be honored as "Rights" with expressive and developmental opportunities provided within social-political groupings.
5. Standards of cooperation, acceptance and spiritually directed responses must be implemented across human institutions.
6. Receptivity to Light Responses must be ensured in each.
7. No limitations should be placed upon self determinism, free will, and personal choices which do not violate rights of others.
8. Social sanctions should be placed upon unnecessary, uncooperative, self-preservationary reactions which violate others.
9. Individuals must ensure that their institutions do not resist feedback and defend their own mass mental emotional boundaries.
* When this happens, individuals must simply withdraw their support.
10. Alterations to existing systems must come in manageable steps, without needless ripping of the fabric of society.
* This moves the action from "revolutionary" in nature to "evolutionary".
Conclusion:
Individual contributions following reconnection between Mind & Spirit, will motivate mass reconnection and social evolution.
With these first tenets passing into the house of mind and taking their rightful place, we can now turn to discuss existing habits, pitfalls of thought and action which have become "normal" and acceptable. These habits, in spiritual actuality, are anything but normal and are no longer acceptable.
