ABSTRACT IDOLATRY.
EXODUS 20:1-7.
AND God spake all these words, saying,
2. “I am the LORD thy God,
Which have brought thee out of the Land of Egypt,
out of the House of Bondage.
3. “Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.
4. “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image,
or any likeness of any Thing that is in Heaven above,
or that is in the Earth beneath,
or that is in the Water under the Earth.
5. “Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them:
for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the Children
unto the third and fourth Generation of them that hate me;
6. “And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep My Commandments.
7. “Thou shalt not take the Name of the LORD thy God in vain;
for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.”
JOHN 7:37-43.
37. In the Last Day, that Great Day of the Feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying,
”If any man Thirst,
let him come unto me, and Drink.
38. “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said,
’OUT OF HIS BELLY SHALL FLOW
RIVERS OF LIVING WATER.’ “
39. [But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive:
for the Holy Ghost was not yet given;
because that Jesus was not yet glorified.]
40. Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said,
”Of a truth this is THE Prophet.”
41. Others said,
”This is the Christ.”
But some said,
”Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
42. “Hath not the scripture said,
’THAT CHRIST COMETH OF THE SEED OF DAVID,‘and
’OUT OF THE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM,’
where David was?”
JHN:007:043 So there was a division among the people because of him.
THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL were greatly privileged to be rescued from Slavery by a bona fide manifestation of God The Creator.
This, however, has been a WASTE. Nothing much ever came of it, unless you count The Bible. A mystical tome no one has ever understood. The Key to Immortality Itself, its adherents have consistently PERISHED in every generation, because of its vagueness and contradictive nature. When you HAVE Pure LIFE Itself, it can only be rendered useless by adding DEATH to it.
Which is what has happened.
For example, Jesus, gave a marvelous prophetic interpretation of Isaiah’s Prophecy, of the great spiritual awakening to come, when LIFE ENERGIES would FLOW IN ABUNDANCE from the Centre of Power on the Cocoon, situated on the bellies of men.
The opening of that center is one of the main Objective Goals of spiritual practice.
To fail to open it is like going to all the classes for NATURAL CHILDBIRTH- study all the diagrams, the charts, sit through all the lectures, spend thousands of hours doing breathing exercises and Hatha Yoga- then when the time comes, you opt for CAESAREAN.
Jesus surely explained to his Disciples about this Centre of Power: if you deal with Power, YOU CANNOT MISS IT.
JOHN 15:11-17.
11. “These things have I spoken unto you,
that my joy might remain in you,
and that your joy might be full.
12. “This is my Commandment,
’THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER,
AS I HAVE LOVED YOU.’
13. “Greater love hath no man than this,
’THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS.’
14. “Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I Command you.
15. “Henceforth I call you not servants;
for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth:
but I have called you friends;
FOR ALL THINGS THAT I HAVE HEARD OF MY FATHER
I HAVE MADE KNOWN UNTO YOU.
16. “Ye
have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you,
that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain:
that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, He may give it you.
17. “These things I command you, that ye love one another.”
JESUS’ Disciples didn’t CARE about Jesus as much as he cared about THEM, so it is no wonder that THAT SAME EVENING they betrayed him to his face. After swearing that they would all die with him- no doubt to wheedle the last possible Blessings of Power out of him- having got what they wanted, they ran off and left him with people intending to bring him in, dead or alive- preferably dead.
MARK 14: 27-31.
27. And Jesus saith unto them,
"All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written,
'I WILL SMITE THE SHEPHERD,
AND THE SHEEP SHALL BE SCATTERED.'
28. "But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
29. But Peter said unto him,
"Although all shall be offended, yet will not I."
30. And Jesus saith unto him,
"Verily I say unto thee,
'THAT THIS DAY, EVEN IN THIS NIGHT,
BEFORE THE COCK CROW TWICE,
THOU SHALT DENY ME THRICE.'
31. But he spake the more vehemently,
"If I should die with thee, I WILL NOT DENY THEE IN ANY WISE."
Likewise also said they all.
In rejecting his Words, which they ALL knew to be The Word of God, they were rejecting his ministry as Prophet, and accepting ALL of the consequences of that Decision.
MARK 14:50.
50. And they all forsook him, and fled.
Since they were taught to considered JESUS to be THE TRUTH, the Principle of this is that they would FLEE FROM THE TRUTH once ADVERSITY was considered to have come. THIS may be demonstrated to be the case.
JOHN therefore tries to MISLEAD US concerning The Centre of Will, trying to make us believe that we have to receive a SPECIAL SPIRIT to make it work. This opened the door for the denunciation of schools that do practice the cultivation of WILL, Oriental Martial Arts in particular, saying that they could not have “DANTIEN” (the Chinese name for that energy centre in acupuncture) ABILITIES unless they have received devilish augmentation and thus possession. [Dr. Rebecca Brown says this specifically in one of her [HE CAME TO SET THE CAPTIVES FREE, series] books, and she is considered to be an authority by MILLIONS of “Full Gospel” Christians. Thus removing one of the most important weapons for a
spiritual warrior- the Art of Empty-hand combat.]
He furthermore claimed that the acquisition of The Holy Ghost- the Emissary of God-Class Life Force was dependent solely upon Jesus’ “glorification.” Those who have studied Carlos Castaneda’s account of his Nagualistic experience can see that this would be impossible: The seven Spirits of God were available since the Dawn of Mankind, and only the ignorance and laziness of the average man prevented them from achieving that “anointing.”
So Christianity was delivered into a veritable morass of superstition and half-truth, from which it has only recently become possible to completely extricate it- because of the Nagualistic disclosures of L. Ron Hubbard and Carlos Castaneda, which show that spiritual restoration is linked to the twin disciplines of RECAPITULATION- the release of locked up spiritual energy by the systematic and progressive elimination of the SUBCONSCIOUS MIND, and (CONTROLLED ) DREAMING- which makes possible
the COHERENCY OF CONSCIOUSNESS in different areas of Assemblage.
ISAIAH 44:8-22.
8. “Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time,
and have declared it?
ye are even my witnesses.
Is there a God beside me?
yea, there is no God;
I know not any.
9. “They that make a graven image are all of them vanity;
and their delectable things shall not profit;
and they are their own witnesses;
they see not, nor know;
that they may be ashamed.
10. “Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?
11. “Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men:
let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear,
and they shall be ashamed together.
12. “The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers,
and worketh it with the strength of his arms:
yea,
he is hungry, and his strength faileth:
he drinketh no water, and is faint.
13. “The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line;
he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass,
and maketh it after the figure of a man,
according to the beauty of a man;
that it may remain in the house.
14. “He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak,
which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest:
he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.
15. “Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself;
yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread;
YEA, HE MAKETH A GOD, AND WORSHIPPETH IT;
HE MAKETH IT A GRAVEN IMAGE, AND FALLETH DOWN THERETO.
16. “He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh;
he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith,
”AHA, I AM WARM, I HAVE SEEN THE FIRE:”
17. And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image:
he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith,
”DELIVER ME; FOR THOU ART MY GOD.”
18. “They have not known nor understood:
for He hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see;
and their hearts, that they cannot understand.
19. “And none considereth in his heart, neither is there Knowledge nor Understanding to say,
’I HAVE BURNED PART OF IT IN THE FIRE;
YEA, ALSO I HAVE
BAKED BREAD UPON THE COALS THEREOF;
I HAVE ROASTED FLESH, AND EATEN IT:
AND SHALL I MAKE THE RESIDUE THEREOF AN ABOMINATION?
SHALL I FALL DOWN TO THE STOCK OF A TREE?’
20. “He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside,
that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say,
’IS THERE NOT A LIE IN MY RIGHT HAND?’
21. “Remember these, O Jacob and Israel;
FOR THOU ART MY SERVANT:
I HAVE FORMED THEE; THOU ART MY SERVANT: O ISRAEL,
THOU SHALT NOT BE FORGOTTEN OF ME.
22. “I HAVE BLOTTED OUT, AS A THICK CLOUD,
THY TRANSGRESSIONS, AND, AS A CLOUD, THY SINS:
RETURN UNTO ME; FOR I HAVE REDEEMED THEE.”
If you want to know The Truth about IDOLATRY- or ANYTHING, for that matter- do you study with and consult the people who have DONE it, or to the people who boast of have NEVER done it all their lives?
Since Isaiah had NEVER done IDOLATRY in his LIFE- HE would tell us- how could he know that what he was being told about idolatry was true or not? The sole reason Israel continued to have Problems with IDOLATRY, as well as other sins, is that THEIR PROPHETS NEVER TOLD THEM THE TRUTH about it. Once The Truth concerning ANYTHING is Known, it ceases to be a Problem: it’s effective part is AS-Ised, and can have no effect that you don’t want it to.
IT IS A FACT that most idolaters must not know what they are DOING.
They merely go through the motions of a procedure they have learned and have never learned The Truth and have never *SEEN.*
The most pathetic idolatry in the World, by my reckoning is ISLAM. They perform a complicated ritual that have to incorporate ALL the first four levels of Reality and existence from BELIEFS, through THOUGHTS, WORDS and PHYSICAL ACTIONS.
They HAVE TO do this FIVE TIMES a DAY, SEVEN DAYS a WEEK.
These people have the perfect framework to achieve the last two levels, POSTULATES, and TOTAL UNDERSTANDING, but they INDULGE like Sons and Daughters of [*Bleep!*]es, and WASTE their energy- I say in HATRED of we “UNBELIEVER INFIDELS.”
this dwindles their energies down to NOTHING as THE FLYERS do lunch with their heads.
This is
easily the most pathetic tragedy on Earth.
However, to a certain degree, ALL PEOPLE do the same- except Men of Knowledge- they would probably have DONE it before, but they undertook to become IMPECCABLE WARRIORS and rose ABOVE all those Human foolishnesses.
MATTHEW 7: 1-6.
"JUDGE not, that ye be not judged.
2. "For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged:
and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3. "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye,
but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4. "Or how wilt thou say to thy brother,
'Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye;'
and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5.
"Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye;
and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6. "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine,
lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you."
It is almost funny to see how people so readily judge and condemn others for what they themselves have done or are even still doing. Isaiah, after having blasted IDOLATERS, them continues to embrace, but never master, the exact same principles HIMSELF.
THIS is the SELF-IMPORTANCE TRAP of CLARITY, the Second Enemy of a man of Knowledge: one can become obsessed with correcting one’s fellow men, while one has not so corrected oneself. Actually, it is regarded as a legitimate profession to do so.
The Four Enemies of a Man of Knowledge are FEAR, CLARITY, POWER, and OLD AGE.
Please see THE TEACHINGS OF DON JUAN for further reference.
If one continues to perform whatever actions one performs with the idol of one’s choice, and does not INDULGE, living IMPECCABLY, eventually, TOTAL UNDERSTANDING will result, as The World is *Overcome* and *Stopped.* The reason for this is that the facsimiles of that operation continue to accumulate until one fine day, the barriers between them collapse- The Flyer’s Mind Implant can no longer bear the strain, and caves in, poor thing- and a SUPER-FACSIMILE is formed, at the level of TOTAL UNDERSTANDING, if one has done one’s job right. This is the ULTIMATE KNOWLEDGE of a subject- the simultaneous acquisition of ALL OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD on that topic- most importantly, the DIVINE SPECIFICATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS concerning THAT aspect of Truth.

22. Theta and Thought are similar orders of static.
23. All Thought is concerned with motion.
26. Thought is accomplished by Theta Facsimiles of Physical Universe, entities or actions.
99. Theta Facsimiles can recombine into new symbols.
100. Language is the symbolization of effort.
101. Language depends for its force upon the force which accompanied its definition.
[Note: counter-effort, not
language, is aberrative.]
121. Every thought has been preceded by physical action.
122. The mind does with thought as it has done with entities in the Physical Universe.
127. All perceptions reaching the organism's sense channels are recorded and stored by Theta Facsimile.
Definition: Perception is the process of recording data from the Physical Universe and storing it as a Theta Facsimile.
Definition: Recall is the process of regaining perceptions.
Bible religion was cunning based on the idolatry Principle s, but centred on an ABSTRACT IMAGE that was NEVER TO BE PHYSICALLY MANIFESTED. This was a genius masterstroke, comparable to tying a stick with a carrot on it on an ass’ head, where he sees the carrot, and struggles to reach it, but can’t, because it moves forward as he does. A Goal that can never be attained by his own effort. Bible religion was set up that way, and has been continued that way in all its forms- Judaism, Christianity and Islam- even into these “enlightened times.”
