An understanding of every topic, subject or technology is acquired by first understanding the relevant terms. These are doors through which were enter the specialised paradigms of various technologies. These technologies are unique domains where nothing else exist, but what is required for the creation and substance of a technologies existence. They way to develop an understanding of any technology or subject is to go through one of these doors. The doors are known as gateways.
These terms are portals, through which we access specific subjects. Understanding is like a photograph that is being developed in a dark room. If you were working in a darkroom developing photographs for a customer who brough in film, you wouldn’t know what the customer had photographed until you had developed the film. However, once you had developed the film, the details of the photograph would reveal themselves. The limits of what can be seen are what is revealed by the photograph.
Learning a subject is the same. Initially its just jargon and whilst we can have a general term for a subject, such as vehicle, it doesn’t mean we can design, build or repair a vehicle. When you lift the bonnet on a motor vehicle unless you understand that paradigm, you are unlikely to understand the details of what you are looking at or how that technology works. Every technology existing or potential, exists in the collective unconscious. The collective mind is not personal and it contains everything.
If I invent a new technology, I create a record of it in the collective mind or the collective unconscious. This is accessible to everyone. However, if you don’t understand the conceptual words that created it or how it works, then it is like a undeveloped photograph. It’s just a blur. You don’t learn in the world, you learn in the mind. In order to learn how to access new ideas, you need to find the door that opens the portal to greater understanding. This door is a word that is a concept. The first door will lead you to the second, third and so on.
When you have developed sufficient understanding the metaphorical photograph becomes clear. Now you have the ability to use what you understand, and possibly apply it in some way that is unique to you. The only thing a mind can lack is understanding. The personal mind is what we download. Our personal mind is equal to our personal understanding and our unique expression. This mind is not all there is. In fact, its only a laboratory in which we experiment with different ideas, beliefs and technologies.
It is through the development of our understanding that we expand it. To develop an understanding of new technology we must first develop an understanding of the conceptual terms that brought it into existence. These are the doors that lead to greater understanding. The world is full of temptation and if you are to develop an understanding in one area you must go through the relevant door and exclude data from all other paradigms in order that your focus is not distracted by superficial, unrelated data that will compromise progress.
The mind is the laboratory where all understanding must develop, not the world. Each term is a portal and each portal, grants the seeker a level of understanding. How much understanding is required? The objective determines the level of understanding required. The achievement of the objective establishes that sufficient understanding has been acquired. You don’t stop until you achieve the objective. Matthew 7:7 (KJV) “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”
What does understanding do? It gives awareness access to portals that lead to the level of information that matches our understanding. This means we have expanded our personal mind’s understanding. Everyone has a 100% understanding. However, in the moment that we aspire to be something else (richer, slimmer, fitter, more intelligent, more capable), it is because we have not realised that we have confined ourself within a paradigm. This paradigm is what some refer to as reality.
When a poor man appears to become rich and successful, it means that he has shifted paradigms. This is a literal shift in personal reality. This is growth in understanding which appears to others as a transformation. We can go through doors that will take us into crime, violence and addiction. We can go through doors that will take us into happiness, success, health and wealth. These doors are personal and only exist within the personal mind. They cannot be found in church, schools, colleges or universities.
They cannot be found by listening to a podcast. They are not here, within the lines of this essay. They are within our own mind. They are doors because the doors are the portals that establish the limits between personal understanding and potential understanding. 100% of our understanding may include more than 100% of our understanding ten years ago. The only thing a mind can lack is understanding. If we say ‘this’ (whatever this is) is this and we refuse to accept any other possibility we establish the dogmatic limits of our understanding.
This means we close the door on greater potential and decide this is where I will exist from this moment forward. This is not failure, this is acceptance, but it is also rejection. It is a rejection of any greater understanding. The potential of each mind is unlimited but the expression of each mind is not. This is not because our potential expression is limited. It is because every form of expression when expressed is finite and this is a limitation. So what is this potential? God! A definition of God creates and reveals a sacred paradox.
The paradox is: “God is the greater understanding that exists beyond all understanding”. This is why God is our only salvation. The pinnacle is not the car, the plane, the computer, nanotechnology or AI. By comparison to previous technologies, these technologies are unprecedented. However, this statement was once true of the windmill, the horse and cart and the steam engine. AI is not the solution to a problem that does not exist. AI has no access to the collective mind. AI has no access to God.
We don’t really learn by developing our understanding actively. If active learning is done thoroughly, it creates conflict within the mind. This known explained by the concept of context. The way to expand our personal understanding is to interrogate it, so that we can establish if and where it cannot sustain itself, and the limits of its utility. This will lead to questions about the potential for another way, an alternative. That is where the answer to those questions which is held in the impersonal collective unconscious potential that resonates with that question, begins to respond.
This response may come in the form of an idea, a though or kinaesthetic signals (gut feeling). This is personal communication. This should not be shared in order to ensure that it is not contaminated with man-made logic. Look at the world. Its full of crime, violence, rape, drug addiction, corruption and selfishness. Truth only in God. Heaven is the whole mind, where all things are possible. Jesus is the way to all things. Having faith in Jesus is life transforming. John 14:6 (KJV) “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
Communication of every concept is done through language. In software you have functions. In physically perceived experience you have concepts. The function must be understood before it can be utilised. The concept must be understood before it can be personally expressed. Theft is a concept. Charity is a concept. Charity comes from the word Caritas (Latin) which literally means dearness or high value. Caritas comes from cārus = dear, precious, costly, beloved, meaning to hold something or someone to be of great worth.
The particular concepts ‘we worship as truth’, will create our questions and influence what our mind contemplates. We worship each and every one of our beliefs as God. This is because we make them our personal truth, against which we will argue, fight and in some cases die. We can only grow by questioning the integrity and sovereignty of our beliefs. If we live a peaceful, prosperous, contented life, then to question it would be ruinous. If we live a life of addiction, homelessness, unhappiness, poverty or sickness it is our duty to question it.
When you become knowledgeable you become a portal to others. Instinctually, when someone is searching for knowledge, that is with you, they will gravitate to you. They will know instinctively that what they seek is accessible through you. This is because you are demonstrating it. The portal to the knowledge you accessed at source is opened within them in the moment they understand you. When they understand what you understand, you are replaced by a portal they discover within themselves. It is then that the student outgrows the master.
The love within us is not accessed directly. It is accessed through others, by loving them. A man’s erotic centre is within him, but only accessible through his lover/spouse. A woman’s erotic centre is within herself, but is only accessible through her lover/spouse. Genesis 2:24 (KJV) “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” Pornography is a demonic perversion of a natural phenomenon, because there is no personal connection with the object of lust.
All technology and all knowledge are reflections of their source. The source is not Einstein, Brunel, Jobs, Gates or Ford. The source(s) are what those individual’s accessed through realisation of greater understanding. True understanding is a direct connection with source. It’s only when we reconnect with the source of any perceived phenomenon that true understanding occurs. ‘Realisation’ is the moment when understanding occurs. True understanding is only possible when there is a direct connection with the source which is an impersonal collective consciousness.
Understanding is realised through direct connection. Within each one of us is unlimited potential. We are potential! This means that in existential terms, we are potentially anything. What we focus on in the world creates a signal that has a unique frequency. If we focus on something for long enough, we eventually match its source frequency. We literally become its frequency and it becomes the dominant influence. Our awareness of this frequency occurs in the moment we realise something about what we are contemplating or observing.
This is a realisation of understanding that exceeds what can be directly perceived by sensory perception, critical analysis or intellectual evaluation. In order to understand this, we can look at Nikola Tesla: “One afternoon, which was to be ever memorable, I was enjoying a walk with my friend in the City Park, and reciting poetry. At that age I knew entire books by heart… The sun is setting fast… As I uttered these inspiring words, the idea came like a flash of lightning.” — Nikola Tesla, My Inventions, Electrical Experimenter, 1919, Chapter 4
Before the flash (realisation of idea), Tesla states the problem he was contemplating: “The chief difficulty lay in devising a motor without brushes or commutator, which would operate on alternating currents.” — My Inventions, Electrical Experimenter, 1919, Chapter 4. The idea didn’t come from Tesla, it came to him. He was the recipient of the idea, not its creator. If we do not question the fossilisation of our understanding it will never grow. It is only by questioning the absolute dogmatic sovereignty of any observable phenomenon that it transforms.
What causes the growth in our understanding is not education. Education may provide material for contemplation. However, education is not the source of the phenomenon, it’s an attempt at explaining it. Education reveals the limits of the understanding of those who believe that teaching material is fact. Understanding is always that. Understanding is always located at a fixed point along a line that is eternal. What is possible (potential) is never reflected in our collective understanding.
The only way to expand our collective understanding is to question it, interrogate it, contemplate as nothing more than a barrier to greater understanding. The only thing a mind can lack is understanding. The world is nothing more than our collective perception. Perception is understanding. The realisation of greater understanding is the inevitable effect of contemplating the sovereignty of our existing understanding. The contemplation of what is offered as fact is a form of question and that question will be answered.
The answer will be in the form of an idea. However, an idea without realisation is a thought. The difference between thoughts and ideas is their value. This is why we must question everything because realisation occurs when idea and its meaning are instantly realised. When the material from which an idea is made is not realised its called a thought. Thoughts are autonomous. When the meaning of the thought is realised, it becomes an idea that is the answer to a question. The moment of realisation converts a dream or thought into an idea that has full understanding.
In My Inventions (1919), Tesla states explicitly that he was reciting poetry aloud at the moment of a realisation. “As I uttered these inspiring words, the idea came like a flash of lightning and in an instant the truth was revealed.” — My Inventions, 1919. Realisation occurs, its is not an activity and it does not involve volition. We must focus on our objectives and the perceived obstacles to the realisation of their achievement. Elias Lowe the inventor of the eye of the needle used for sewing machines was legally challenged as to whether the invention was his alone.
Howe had to fight for his idea (patent) in litigation because his priority and originality were being attacked, and the case turned on whether the critical inventive step was his and his alone. The courts ultimately accepted Howe’s claim. In Howe v. Singer and related cases (1854–1856), the judges ruled that earlier sewing machines did not contain the essential combination that Howe patented, and that Singer’s machines infringed upon it. As a result, Howe won royalties on nearly every sewing machine sold in the United States for a number of years.
When called to give testimony Howe claimed that the source of the idea was a ‘dream’. Howe went on to describe the dream in sworn testimony in order to establish chronology and independence. The account of Howe’s insight comes from 19th-century legal records. The problem Howe had been struggling with, documented in court testimony and biographies, was how to form a reliable stitch mechanically. Earlier machines failed because the needle eye was at the wrong end. This perceived problem was something he regularly focussed on.
The collective unconscious is unlimited potential and the goals we focus on in life will resonate and eventually connect with its source and cause in this unlimited realm of potential. According to Bennett, A History of the Sewing Machine (1889), and repeated in Howe v. Singer litigation summaries: “Howe had exhausted himself trying to devise a workable stitch and fell asleep. He dreamed he was seized by savages who threatened to kill him unless he finished the machine. Their spears had holes near the points.” Howe realised the meaning of the dream immediately upon waking.
The world is a reflection of its source. The world cannot bring you anything but second hand ideas. This is why it was said: Romans 12:2 (KJV) “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Your personal mind is not the collective mind. The collective mind is the source of all ideas. The idea is the evidence that we are not the creator of the thoughts and ideas, we are the recipient of them. Faith in God is essential to ensure that the communication is benevolent.
Crime is evidence of the fact that criminals get ideas too! Obedience to God ensures that nothing but God will place thoughts and ideas within our mind. If we are tempted to lie, in order to benefit, we now create a door that give access to our mind to the source of that sin. Matthew 6:9-13 (KJV) “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.”
Heaven is the whole mind. The whole mind is a collective mind. Everyone on Earth has access to the collective mind, unless and until they decide that what they believe or know is absolute. This creates a barrier to greater understanding. It is at this point that we make our personal understanding our God. A hypocrite claims faith in God and obedience to God but does not keep his commandments. If we do not keep his commandments it is likely that what we focus on is selfish and harmful to others.
Sinners believe that the perceived world is all there is. This is why they lie, cheat, steal and murder. Rapists deny God in the moment they attack a child of God. If every personal goal is a collectively rewarding goal, it means that it is not a purely selfish goal. If what we offer does not serve others then it is only of value to self and is not in service to God. We serve God by serving others. No man serves God by exploiting others. A life of service is how we serve God. The plans of anyone who focusses on plans and keeps God’s commandments will benefit from ideas.
The world is now addicted to stimulus (emotional) responses to perceived stimulus. This is stimulus that triggers a neurochemical (emotional) response. These spikes in the brains neurochemistry is a ‘PERCEPTUALLY INDUCED NEUROCHEMICAL RESPONSES’. Many people have now become addicted to those spikes and will scroll through twenty four (24), fifteen (15) second clips on social media over each hour, in order to get their fix. However, the cost is the loss of the ability to focus for a longer period. This means we aren’t focussing on things long enough to match source frequency and open the portal for ideas.
The ability to focus and concentrate is a discipline that is essential for learning. If we focus on anything for long enough our understanding of it will change. If we continue to focus on our growing understanding, it will lead to an understanding that is unique. An expert is someone who can utilise their understanding to achieve results that are beyond the ability of the majority of people. Looking at and contemplating too many things at once is to concentrate on nothing, exclusively. James 1:8 (KJV) “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”
We must focus almost exclusively on our goals. We should not be changing our goals and continually starting over. We should not have doubt about what we are planning to do and we should not change our plans unless we have a clear and certain idea to do so. Uncertainty will weaken our connection/signal with source. Luke 9:62 (KJV) “And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” The kingdom of heaven is the whole mind. We exist in a personal mind, but through faith we have access to the whole mind.
If you want a better world, make it your objective and create a plan. This is God’s work! Don’t wait to die to go to heaven, let heaven come to you now. Luke 17:21 (KJV) “The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” Jesus rejects the geographic and political kingdom and identifies where heaven is. If you do not believe in heaven it is because you have replaced source with its effects. The world is evidence of it source. It’s source is God! Sin only prevails when God is denied. Turn to God!
Morality and Integrity
Morality is a series of self-imposed volitional limits (I-beliefs) that permit or prohibit certain potential behaviours by establishing what the mind can and cannot do. Each I-belief is a command to our mind. The ability to change our mind establishes that we are not our mind. If we were, we would be trapped within a dogmatic existence with no ability to change. In computer software development, when commands are written, unless there is a bug, they are absolute and work as designed. For example, in Python if we said: ‘if hungry eat two eggs and 1 slice of bacon, else, eat nothing’, then hunger would be the biological signal (variable) for eating food. What most people actually do with their own mind is different. Many people, come to the conclusion, that if they like the taste of food, re-experiencing the taste is the objective, so the ‘craving’ for the taste becomes the variable, not hunger or strictly observed meal times.
Why is it that Python works as designed when a command is written, but the human mind that created it, does not? The body is the clue. Python does not have a body. Python, not having a body, cannot use a body’s feelings as ‘variables’ that determine behaviour. Python does not get hungry. Python does not have variables that create behaviours that are in conflict, with its own rules. When the mind has conflict, the mind and body are in conflict. The human body provides feedback in the form of feelings, that are used to judge the quality of our life. The body cannot and should not be ignored. We are not our body and we are not our mind, but whilst alive we are both beneficiary and victim of how we manage both. How do we know we are not our body? We know because we have to fight our body’s impulses, when it causes addiction, fear, anger, procrastination and anxiety. For an addict, those impulses are stronger than their own will.
The body gets hungry, thirsty, tired and lustful. These are not always a conscious choice, but those cravings have the power to disturb our peace of mind and focus. Collectively, the ten commandments are existential software (code) for the mind. A computer language allows the coder to create a synthetic mind. Software is a synthetic mind. The reason it works is because it is instinctively created by a real mind but does not include the psychological dysfunction (blind spots) of its creator. All software is a copy of the creator’s understanding. This understanding is their own mind’s understanding. Software created in Python works by rules and logic. If, elif and else, enables functions to create conditional rules for options (variables) that are determined by conditions.
For example: ‘If’ it is raining outside, wear a coat, ‘else’ don’t, is a line of code that determines whether or not to wear a coat. The software is the evidence that establishes how the mind works. But unlike computer software, humans have a body that has its own operating (software) system. This is the difference. In this world we have addiction, ignorance, violence, sexual violence, theft and selfishness. Selfishness is encouraged by competition and men are judged by their personal performance and material success and women by their physical beauty. What is morality? Morality is the compassionate justification for self-imposed volitional limits placed upon behavioural expression. Morality is the ‘rules’ to be observed that ensure that we don’t do what is immoral. The ten commandments were not simply laws, they were existential code, which when believed established personal limits upon the expression of our mind. Free will ensures that, like all code, it can be self-edited (corrupted).
Von Neumann said computers were inspired by the nervous system and human cognition. In “The Computer and the Brain” (1958): “The procedures that we call algorithms are precisely the rules that a human would follow in carrying out a computation.” Alan Turing linked computation to human mental procedure. In “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” (1950) he wrote that a machine’s operations are a formalisation of what a human “computer” (a person doing calculations) already does step-by-step. His model (the Turing Machine) is an abstraction of a person following rules with pencil and paper.
Norbert Wiener, the founder of cybernetics framed machines as externalised human control and thought. Cybernetics: Or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine, MIT Press, 1948, p. 19. “The machine is the exact analogue of the nervous system.” John McCarthy, Dartmouth Conference Proposal, 1955 “Every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it.”
The ten commandments are existential software created to programme the mind, but they can only be empowered, if we place our faith in them. Like any line of code, they only work as designed, if we do not have any conflicting beliefs (code), to compromise them. This is why the first commandment. Free will means that we are free to place our faith in them, or we are free to refuse to. Conflicting beliefs (code) are the reason why people who believe in the ten commandments break them. A conflicting belief is how opposing armies are formed within the same mind. One army restricts, and the other works to tempt the believer. For example, thou shalt not commit adultery is the root belief, from which many other contextually related beliefs (commands) should develop. This reinforces the resolve, making it stronger. However, the lust and desire exploited by pornography are so powerful, that in order to overcome the power of the belief, I should not commit adultery, they can result in the creation of conflicting beliefs, or are edited along the lines of: ‘but, if nobody finds out, it won’t hurt anyone’.
All beliefs are lines of code. An example of a conflicting or ambiguous belief is believing I must not kill, ‘unless’ I have to. Unless is a variable, that negates the power of that commandment to corrupt the mind. The first belief is literally disempowered by the variable, meaning that murder is a conditional response. This is a loss of the mind’s moral integrity. The desire for sex can be very strong and this can lead to the creation of beliefs, like ‘I don’t care’. This belief programmes a perceptually induced neurochemical response (emotions) that denies compassion. These temptations lead to variables that create a thief, murderer or rapist. The mind and therefore the body, can be used to create or to destroy. The criminal lines of code must be created in the mind, in order to corrupt it, before the body can perform those acts. The integrity of a Christian mind is sustained by rejecting any beliefs that would compromise it.
Unless born with a disability or injured, we each and all have sovereignty over our own mind. The mind is the operating system where we can create ‘anything’. The imagination is not restricted by the laws of physics. The brain is the hardware that is initially, exclusively operated by the autonomic system and the mind’s source code/firmware. The power of the mind to interfere with the autonomic system that operates the body is demonstrated by a phobia and psychosomatic bodily afflictions. What is termed a phobia is evidence of the power of every single mind. A phobia is a command that is unusual in the activities or behaviours it prohibits. A Christian’s mind is the only technology they are required to master in their lifetime.
The archives of the world reveal the historical development of our collective understanding. However, this understanding is not our personal understanding. If there is crime, violence, poverty, sexual violence, war, inequality and suffering in the world, then the world and those who control it are not fit to be our educators. God should be our only educator. Romans 12:2 (KJV) “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” You have complete sovereignty over your own mind. You are not a victim!
The reason people cannot stop drinking is because they ‘believe’ they cannot stop drinking. The belief is a line of code. The power of each belief is the ‘faith’ it obtains. ‘FAITH IS THE POWER OF GOD GIVEN TO MAN’. If you want to know how the mind works learn to write code and develop software. The bugs that prevent success in achieving the software’s functional objectives, are exactly the same in the mind. The software developer observes how a bug affects the outcome and learns to detect and eradicate those bugs.
All software is a series of commands that take into account a number of contemplated variables. For example, in order to ensure that I do not drink alcohol and drive, using Python I may write code as follows:
if drink == “alcohol”:
action = “taxi”
else:
action = “drive”
This is not only how Python works but how the human mind works. We are not our mind and we are not our body. Why then, if we know we should not drink and drive, do we? Because in order to feel certain ‘feelings’, that we crave, we succumb to that temptation, by creating conflicting code that gives us a choice to sustain integrity or to temporarily abandon it. In life, we do everything for the ‘feeling’. A friend may say to us, ‘I drink and drive all the time and I have never been caught’. This may lead to the conclusion (belief) that I’m not going to be caught, which could also be supported by the creation of the belief, ‘I drive as good drunk as I do sober’. The motive for this loss of integrity is almost exclusively the feelings we experience whilst drinking alcohol. Alcohol and drugs can feel so good that we may want to prolong the experience through continued consumption. Unfortunately, alcohol can impair judgement and physical performance. The moral compromise is created using code that is assembled along the following lines.
The believer, compromises his own mind by knowingly introducing a variable about risk or consequences:
if drink == “alcohol” and chance_of_being_caught > 0.5:
action = “taxi”
else:
action = “drive”
The desire for sex is not only an effect of consuming alcohol. Alcohol also has a profound effect on the mind’s ability to sustain its discernment and judgement which has been a factor in many violent crimes, including rape. Alcohol is used as a tool to temporarily shut down the moral constraints that prevent enjoyment, laughter and in many cases, arousal. The two biggest forces that cause us to edit our mind’s personal code (beliefs) are ‘fear’ and ‘desire’. Galatians 5:19-21 (KJV) “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”
When someone gets between us and our ‘desires’ we can become jealous, violent, hateful, heretical, dishonest, selfish and this can lead to the development of numerous commands (beliefs), which our mind can and will act upon. Listen to a football hooligan talk about the fans of an opposing football team and it is like listening to someone talking about their enemy. This can and does lead to violence. Listen to a constituent who votes for one political party talk about someone who votes for the opposing party.
Propaganda is produced in order to obtain the faith of the masses. Propaganda is a number of proposed beliefs that ‘demonise’ a target group. This leads to beliefs that not only justify disrespect, hatred and violence, but if believed, will literally edit the mind’s perception of the target group, leading to a change in our behaviour towards them. The power of beliefs to control the mind of a believer is ‘absolute’. That power is faith. The body’s fear of pain, can create what some refer to as a coward. This label is not helpful. Fear is a ‘perceptually induced neurochemical response’ that is felt in the body. It is a function (belief) that is created to inhibit.
Proverbs 9:10 (KJV) “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” We have the power (faith) to do anything, unless we believe we cannot. This is because the belief that we cannot is also empowered by faith. Each and every one of our beliefs has faith. The following saying is attributed to Henry Ford: “A man who believes he can and man who believes he cannot, are both right”. This is sometimes stated as: “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t—you’re right.” This literally describes how faith works.
The commandments were given to create a world that we can all share in peace and harmony. These commands are lines of existential code. They can only be empowered by ‘faith’. Every ‘I-belief’ is a rule-enforcing instruction. These instructions are absolute unless and until we create an ‘if’, ‘elif’ and/or ‘then’ rule. So as children our friends may say why don’t you throw stones and break some windows in a derelict or abandoned house. My response may be: ‘because its wrong, and if I do, I will be punished’. Then our friends may say, ‘only if you get caught’.
This indicates that the child has been educated (programmed) to believe that they will be punished and fear of punishment is much stronger than the moral argument that it is wrong to damage someone else’s property. If the child can be persuaded to believe they won’t get caught and therefore will not be punished, they may create new line of code (belief), along the lines of: “If I don’t tell anyone, no one will know and I won’t get punished”. Then they unconsciously construct a belief that supports the breaking of windows, using ‘if’ or ‘elif’ or ‘else’ statements. The desire (feelings) to fit in and be liked may be stronger than the awareness of their personal moral responsibility and obligation. The obligation is to ‘self’.
This is how the mind works! The introduction of this kind of compromise creates moral conflict. The moral conflict is created to permit immoral behaviour. This is assisted by creating contemplated contexts that justify where and when some behaviours are acceptable and when and where they are not. This is how we corrupt our own mind. Corruption of the mind is like corruption of the code. If we do not run the code several times under different conditions a bug may be present that is not apparent and is not detected immediately. What works perfectly at six years of age may create a profound psychological problem later in life. The mind is eternal and once the code is created it operates ‘perfectly’ until it is edited. Many people live with limitation for their entire life, not realising that every mind is not only equal, but it’s potential is unlimited. If when you enter 2 + 2, the result equals 9, and you know that the result is incorrect, this means that the method of calculation is incorrect. The only thing a mind can lack is understanding.
Integrity is required to ensure that our personal code (beliefs) is not compromised. The belief that I must love my wife and children and be faithful, must not be compromised by conflicting beliefs. The reason an individual may create conflicting code (beliefs) may be due to a loss of sexual attraction, sexual attraction to someone outside of the marriage or a lack of sexual fulfilment within it. In life, we do everything for the feeling! This may lead to the belief (code) that ‘I DESERVE MORE’. This belief opens the door to thoughts about what ‘MORE’ looks like. If it looks like someone else, a believer may use their mind to create fantasies about someone else.
This in itself is not the act of infidelity or adultery, but it is likely to lead to an addiction to those thoughts, which lead to ideas. Matthew 5:27–28 (KJV) “Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” As long as the individual does not change the belief that I must be faithful, or create a conflicting belief that disempowers it, they will be faithful. However, the belief that I deserve more, can bring thoughts that could result in the creation of an awareness of what something more looks like. This is where any qualifying people who fit the role of our fantasy, become the focus of our attention. This is when there is a risk to our mind’s integrity. If we strike up a conversation and there is rapport, the fantasy now has a subject which may lead to the creation of new, conflicting beliefs that remove the mind’s moral integrity. This removes the behavioural (volitional) limits that are necessary for a life of integrity.
This is where statements like: ‘I know I should not, but’ begin to contaminate how we contemplate potential opportunities for sin. The contemplation of situations and opportunities, where the person will not get caught, begin to enter the mind. This leads to fantasies about how to cheat without getting caught. This can become a compelling fantasy and bring a person closer to acquiring a conflicting belief that compromises and diminishes the power of the belief: ‘I must be faithful’. Contemplating doing something that goes against our own values, as long as the other person does not find out, is a temptation.
We succumb to temptation through self-deception. For example, the belief: “if I could sleep with someone else without my spouse ever finding out, it would do not harm.” This is a contextually specific example of how we compromise the integrity of our own mind. We are born with sovereignty over our own mind. The ability to self-programme the mind is something that is God-given. This ability is exploited by others who seek to vicariously programme our mind for their benefit of the benefit of the systemic paradigm they personally exploit. Religion, Education, Politics, Marketing, Sales, Potential Spouses and those seeking one night stands all compete for our faith in their words, through the manipulation of our perception.
Faith is the power of God given to man. Beliefs about others determine our perception of them. Every single emotional response, ‘without exception’, is a perceptually induced neurochemical response. What we believe about our self in existential terms, we will become. To be born again means to take back sovereignty over our own mind and withdraw our faith in all the beliefs that compromise our integrity. This is the end of personal doubt. When we know, we have no need of beliefs, because we know. An addict’s integrity is compromised by the fact that they want to stop the lows but they don’t want to stop experiencing the highs.
Mark 3:25 KJV “And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.” The whole mind is collective, not personal. The whole mind is the kingdom of heaven, where all prayers are answered. ‘I can’, creates the karma of some and ‘I can’t’ creates the karma for others. Our life, is the answer to our prayers. Beliefs are prayers and all prayers are answered. The belief ‘I can’ and the belief ‘I cannot’ are both realised. Matthew 7:7-8 (KJV) “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.”
Integrity is a mind that does not have conflicting beliefs. A software that has conflicting lines of code will create bugs. The cause of these bugs will be one or more lines of conflicting code working to achieve conflicting objectives. This is experienced by the feeling of ‘doubt’ when faced with the conflicting choice of desire or obligation. Once detected by a software engineer, the bug is fixed and the functional objective is achieved. In life, theft, dishonesty, rape and murder are the effect of bugs in the mind. We can say that the person lacks morality or that they are evil. That is an easy and extremely lazy way of looking at how the mind operates. If we compare a criminal with a person who does not commit crime, they may look the same and they may dress the same. What is different is the code (beliefs) that operates their individual minds. The mind is a subtle form of the body. The body is a denser form of the mind.
Emotions, the Super-fuel ‘Essential’ for Learning
Emotions, the Super-fuel ‘Essential’ for Learning
The mind must be motivated to go to and stay in the correct subject and context if it is to develop the focus to concentrate. This focussed stated is ‘essential’ to learning efficiently. Without the development of the focussed state, the mind will be tempted by neurochemical addiction to pursue visual or auditory stimulus. This is because every single emotional response is a perceptually induced neurochemical (emotional) response. The visual stimulus that generates those short temporary emotional spikes may be news, gossip, sports, pornography or violent content. Most people are unconscious of this phenomenon, even when it erodes their natural ability to focus.
Without focus, it’s close to impossible to learn skills. There must be sufficient motivation to learn if the mind of the learning is sufficiently focussed to learn. Focus is not simply a component, it is an essential component. If an individual is not highly motivated, then they are unlikely to have sufficient focus or the desire to obtain it. Focussing on subject matter must become a life or death matter. Working on many parts of the world is a life or death matter. If someone doesn’t work, they don’t eat. When starvation, homelessness and vulnerability of dependent family members is motivating a person to learn, they will learn.
Emotions are fuel. The can attract us, such is the case with attraction, sexual desire, and love. Cravings of the body’s addiction are more powerful than fear or love. An addict will do whatever they have to do to get their fix. They may lie, cheat, steal, sell drugs or sell their body. This shows how powerful the cravings for specific feelings are. This is seen as a negative thing in someone’s life an in the context of addiction it is. But it is also a highly motivating power that can drive a man to work for hours shoplifting to get enough money to feed his habit.
If people could generate the same level of motivation as a drug addict without being addicted, they would be highly focussed. The focus on getting enough money for a fix is absolute. Understanding the technology of the mind, amygdala and brain is how you understand the relationship between perception and emotions. The emotions are the fuel that drives all behaviour. An absence of any emotional response may be described as ‘depression’. Depression is a word that describes the observed behaviour, not its cause.
What is needed to develop focus is sufficient motive. This can be move towards emotions/physical feelings motive (desire/need/love) or it can be a move away from unwanted emotions /physical feelings (fear/shame/loneliness/homelessness/hunger). A workaholic cannot stop. An unemployed person may not be able to start. If we do not understand the technologies of our own mind and body we will never be truly in control of our own destiny. The development of personal sovereignty requires each individual to realise their own power.
The technology of the mind is already known and exploited through the initiatives such as marketing, news, propaganda. This is assisted by the development of new terms in the form of concepts, such as racism, welfare system, feminism, diversity, where victimhood is encouraged and reliance upon third party organisations and legislation to justify the abandonment of personal responsibility for one’s own mind and emotional programming.
Every single emotional response without exception is a ‘perceptually induced neurochemical response’. Perception is how we see ‘everything’ including ‘self’. If we perceive anything and everything including self and others negatively, we write a prescription for our brain, which will immediately dispense a matching neurochemical (feeling) that we feel. We then blame whatever we perceived in those terms to be guilty for our feelings, when in fact, it was exclusively by our own perception.
This is why it was said in Matthew 7:1–5 (KJV) “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 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? 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.”
Morality and Integrity
Morality is a series of self-imposed volitional limits (I-beliefs) that permit or prohibit certain potential behaviours by establishing what the mind can and cannot do. Each I-belief is a command to our mind. The ability to change our mind establishes that we are not our mind. If we were, we would be trapped within a dogmatic existence with no ability to change. In computer software development, when commands are written, unless there is a bug, they are absolute and work as designed. For example, in Python if we said: ‘if hungry eat two eggs and 1 slice of bacon, else, eat nothing’, then hunger would be the biological signal (variable) for eating food. What most people actually do with their own mind is different. Many people, come to the conclusion, that if they like the taste of food, re-experiencing the taste is the objective, so the ‘craving’ for the taste becomes the variable, not hunger or strictly observed meal times.
Why is it that Python works as designed when a command is written, but the human mind that created it, does not? The body is the clue. Python does not have a body. Python, not having a body, cannot use a body’s feelings as ‘variables’ that determine behaviour. Python does not get hungry. Python does not have variables that create behaviours that are in conflict, with its own rules. When the mind has conflict, the mind and body are in conflict. The human body provides feedback in the form of feelings, that are used to judge the quality of our life. The body cannot and should not be ignored. We are not our body and we are not our mind, but whilst alive we are both beneficiary and victim of how we manage both. How do we know we are not our body? We know because we have to fight our body’s impulses, when it causes addiction, fear, anger, procrastination and anxiety. For an addict, those impulses are stronger than their own will.
The body gets hungry, thirsty, tired and lustful. These are not always a conscious choice, but those cravings have the power to disturb our peace of mind and focus. Collectively, the ten commandments are existential software (code) for the mind. A computer language allows the coder to create a synthetic mind. Software is a synthetic mind. The reason it works is because it is instinctively created by a real mind but does not include the psychological dysfunction (blind spots) of its creator. All software is a copy of the creator’s understanding. This understanding is their own mind’s understanding. Software created in Python works by rules and logic. If, elif and else, enables functions to create conditional rules for options (variables) that are determined by conditions.
For example: ‘If’ it is raining outside, wear a coat, ‘else’ don’t, is a line of code that determines whether or not to wear a coat. The software is the evidence that establishes how the mind works. But unlike computer software, humans have a body that has its own operating (software) system. This is the difference. In this world we have addiction, ignorance, violence, sexual violence, theft and selfishness. Selfishness is encouraged by competition and men are judged by their personal performance and material success and women by their physical beauty. What is morality? Morality is the compassionate justification for self-imposed volitional limits placed upon behavioural expression. Morality is the ‘rules’ to be observed that ensure that we don’t do what is immoral. The ten commandments were not simply laws, they were existential code, which when believed established personal limits upon the expression of our mind. Free will ensures that, like all code, it can be self-edited (corrupted).
Von Neumann said computers were inspired by the nervous system and human cognition. In “The Computer and the Brain” (1958): “The procedures that we call algorithms are precisely the rules that a human would follow in carrying out a computation.” Alan Turing linked computation to human mental procedure. In “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” (1950) he wrote that a machine’s operations are a formalisation of what a human “computer” (a person doing calculations) already does step-by-step. His model (the Turing Machine) is an abstraction of a person following rules with pencil and paper.
Norbert Wiener, the founder of cybernetics framed machines as externalised human control and thought. Cybernetics: Or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine, MIT Press, 1948, p. 19. “The machine is the exact analogue of the nervous system.” John McCarthy, Dartmouth Conference Proposal, 1955 “Every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it.”
The ten commandments are existential software created to programme the mind, but they can only be empowered, if we place our faith in them. Like any line of code, they only work as designed, if we do not have any conflicting beliefs (code), to compromise them. This is why the first commandment. Free will means that we are free to place our faith in them, or we are free to refuse to. Conflicting beliefs (code) are the reason why people who believe in the ten commandments break them. A conflicting belief is how opposing armies are formed within the same mind. One army restricts, and the other works to tempt the believer. For example, thou shalt not commit adultery is the root belief, from which many other contextually related beliefs (commands) should develop. This reinforces the resolve, making it stronger. However, the lust and desire exploited by pornography are so powerful, that in order to overcome the power of the belief, I should not commit adultery, they can result in the creation of conflicting beliefs, or are edited along the lines of: ‘but, if nobody finds out, it won’t hurt anyone’.
All beliefs are lines of code. An example of a conflicting or ambiguous belief is believing I must not kill, ‘unless’ I have to. Unless is a variable, that negates the power of that commandment to corrupt the mind. The first belief is literally disempowered by the variable, meaning that murder is a conditional response. This is a loss of the mind’s moral integrity. The desire for sex can be very strong and this can lead to the creation of beliefs, like ‘I don’t care’. This belief programmes a perceptually induced neurochemical response (emotions) that denies compassion. These temptations lead to variables that create a thief, murderer or rapist. The mind and therefore the body, can be used to create or to destroy. The criminal lines of code must be created in the mind, in order to corrupt it, before the body can perform those acts. The integrity of a Christian mind is sustained by rejecting any beliefs that would compromise it.
Unless born with a disability or injured, we each and all have sovereignty over our own mind. The mind is the operating system where we can create ‘anything’. The imagination is not restricted by the laws of physics. The brain is the hardware that is initially, exclusively operated by the autonomic system and the mind’s source code/firmware. The power of the mind to interfere with the autonomic system that operates the body is demonstrated by a phobia and psychosomatic bodily afflictions. What is termed a phobia is evidence of the power of every single mind. A phobia is a command that is unusual in the activities or behaviours it prohibits. A Christian’s mind is the only technology they are required to master in their lifetime.
The archives of the world reveal the historical development of our collective understanding. However, this understanding is not our personal understanding. If there is crime, violence, poverty, sexual violence, war, inequality and suffering in the world, then the world and those who control it are not fit to be our educators. God should be our only educator. Romans 12:2 (KJV) “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” You have complete sovereignty over your own mind. You are not a victim!
The reason people cannot stop drinking is because they ‘believe’ they cannot stop drinking. The belief is a line of code. The power of each belief is the ‘faith’ it obtains. ‘FAITH IS THE POWER OF GOD GIVEN TO MAN’. If you want to know how the mind works learn to write code and develop software. The bugs that prevent success in achieving the software’s functional objectives, are exactly the same in the mind. The software developer observes how a bug affects the outcome and learn to detect and eradicate those bugs.
All software is a series of commands that take into account a number of contemplated variables. For example, in order to ensure that I do not drink alcohol and drive, using Python I may write code as follows:
if drink == “alcohol”:
action = “taxi”
else:
action = “drive”
This is not only how Python works but how the human mind works. We are not our mind and we are not our body. Why then, if we know we should not drink and drive, do we? Because in order to feel certain ‘feelings’, that we crave, we succumb to that temptation, by creating conflicting code that gives us a choice to sustain integrity or to temporarily abandon it. In life, we do everything for the ‘feeling’. A friend may say to us, ‘I drink and drive all the time and I have never been caught’. This may lead to the conclusion (belief) that I’m not going to be caught, which could also be supported by the creation of the belief, ‘I drive as good drunk as I do sober’. The motive for this loss of integrity is almost exclusively the feelings we experience whilst drinking alcohol. Alcohol and drugs can feel so good that we may want to prolong the experience through continued consumption. Unfortunately, alcohol can impair judgement and physical performance. The moral compromise is created using code that is assembled along the following lines.
The believer, compromises his own mind by knowingly introducing a variable about risk or consequences:
if drink == “alcohol” and chance_of_being_caught > 0.5:
action = “taxi”
else:
action = “drive”
The desire for sex is not only an effect of consuming alcohol. Alcohol also has a profound effect on the mind’s ability to sustain its discernment and judgement which has been a factor in many violent crimes, including rape. Alcohol is used as a tool to temporarily shut down the moral constraints that prevent enjoyment, laughter and in many cases, arousal. The two biggest forces that cause us to edit our mind’s personal code (beliefs) are ‘fear’ and ‘desire’. Galatians 5:19-21 (KJV) “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”
When someone gets between us and our ‘desires’ we can become jealous, violent, hateful, heretical, dishonest, selfish and this can lead to the development of numerous commands (beliefs), which our mind can and will act upon. Listen to a football hooligan talk about the fans of an opposing football team and it is like listening to someone talking about their enemy. This can and does lead to violence. Listen to a constituent who votes for one political party talk about someone who votes for the opposing party.
Propaganda is produced in order to obtain the faith of the masses. Propaganda is a number of proposed beliefs that ‘demonise’ a target group. This leads to beliefs that not only justify disrespect, hatred and violence, but if believed, will literally edit the mind’s perception of the target group, leading to a change in our behaviour towards them. The power of beliefs to control the mind of a believer is ‘absolute’. That power is faith. The body’s fear of pain, can create what some refer to as a coward. This label is not helpful. Fear is a ‘perceptually induced neurochemical response’ that is felt in the body. It is a function (belief) that is created to inhibit.
Proverbs 9:10 (KJV) “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.” We have the power (faith) to do anything, unless we believe we cannot. This is because the belief that we cannot is also empowered by faith. Each and every one of our beliefs has faith. The following saying is attributed to Henry Ford: “A man who believes he can and man who believes he cannot, are both right”. This is sometimes stated as: “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t—you’re right.” This literally describes how faith works.
The commandments were given to create a world that we can all share in peace and harmony. These commands are lines of existential code. They can only be empowered by ‘faith’. Every ‘I-belief’ is a rule-enforcing instruction. These instructions are absolute unless and until we create an ‘if’, ‘elif’ and/or ‘then’ rule. So as children our friends may say why don’t you throw stones and break some windows in a derelict or abandoned house. My response may be: ‘because its wrong, and if I do, I will be punished’. Then our friends may say, ‘only if you get caught’.
This indicates that the child has been educated (programmed) to believe that they will be punished and fear of punishment is much stronger than the moral argument that it is wrong to damage someone else’s property. If the child can be persuaded to believe they won’t get caught and therefore will not be punished, they may create new line of code (belief), along the lines of: “If I don’t tell anyone, no one will know and I won’t get punished”. Then they unconsciously construct a belief that supports the breaking of windows, using ‘if’ or ‘elif’ or ‘else’ statements. The desire (feelings) to fit in and be liked may be stronger than the awareness of their personal moral responsibility and obligation. The obligation is to ‘self’.
This is how the mind works! The introduction of this kind of compromise creates moral conflict. The moral conflict is created to permit immoral behaviour. This is assisted by creating contemplated contexts that justify where and when some behaviours are acceptable and when and where they are not. This is how we corrupt our own mind. Corruption of the mind is like corruption of the code. If we do not run the code several times under different conditions a bug may be present that is not apparent and is not detected immediately. What works perfectly at six years of age may create a profound psychological problem later in life. The mind is eternal and once the code is created it operates ‘perfectly’ until it is edited. Many people live with limitation for their entire life, not realising that every mind is not only equal, but it’s potential is unlimited. If when you enter 2 + 2, the result equals 9, and you know that the result is incorrect, this means that the method of calculation is incorrect. The only thing a mind can lack is understanding.
Integrity is required to ensure that our personal code (beliefs) is not compromised. The belief that I must love my wife and children and be faithful, must not be compromised by conflicting beliefs. The reason an individual may create conflicting code (beliefs) may be due to a loss of sexual attraction, sexual attraction to someone outside of the marriage or a lack of sexual fulfilment within it. In life, we do everything for the feeling! This may lead to the belief (code) that ‘I DESERVE MORE’. This belief opens the door to thoughts about what ‘MORE’ looks like. If it looks like someone else, a believer may use their mind to create fantasies about someone else.
This in itself is not the act of infidelity or adultery, but it is likely to lead to an addiction to those thoughts, which lead to ideas. Matthew 5:27–28 (KJV) “Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” As long as the individual does not change the belief that I must be faithful, or create a conflicting belief that disempowers it, they will be faithful. However, the belief that I deserve more, can bring thoughts that could result in the creation of an awareness of what something more looks like. This is where any qualifying people who fit the role of our fantasy, become the focus of our attention. This is when there is a risk to our mind’s integrity. If we strike up a conversation and there is rapport, the fantasy now has a subject which may lead to the creation of new, conflicting beliefs that remove the mind’s moral integrity. This removes the behavioural (volitional) limits that are necessary for a life of integrity.
This is where statements like: ‘I know I should not, but’ begin to contaminate how we contemplate potential opportunities for sin. The contemplation of situations and opportunities, where the person will not get caught, begin to enter the mind. This leads to fantasies about how to cheat without getting caught. This can become a compelling fantasy and bring a person closer to acquiring a conflicting belief that compromises and diminishes the power of the belief: ‘I must be faithful’. Contemplating doing something that goes against our own values, as long as the other person does not find out, is a temptation.
We succumb to temptation through self-deception. For example, the belief: “if I could sleep with someone else without my spouse ever finding out, it would do not harm.” This is a contextually specific example of how we compromise the integrity of our own mind. We are born with sovereignty over our own mind. The ability to self-programme the mind is something that is God-given.

Religion, Education, Politics, Marketing, Sales, Potential Spouses and those seeking one night stands all compete for our faith in their words, through the manipulation of our perception.
Faith is the power of God given to man. Beliefs about others determine our perception of them. Every single emotional response, ‘without exception’, is a perceptually induced neurochemical response. What we believe about our self in existential terms, we will become. To be born again means to take back sovereignty over our own mind and withdraw our faith in all the beliefs that compromise our integrity. This is the end of personal doubt. When we know, we have no need of beliefs, because we know. An addict’s integrity is compromised by the fact that they want to stop the lows but they don’t want to stop experiencing the highs.
Mark 3:25 KJV “And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.” The whole mind is collective, not personal. The whole mind is the kingdom of heaven, where all prayers are answered. ‘I can’, creates the karma of some and ‘I can’t’ creates the karma for others. Our life, is the answer to our prayers.

Reality is a Vibration
Anything we look at or think about for long enough changes in our mind. Everything in existence vibrates at a frequency. If we sit and contemplate an object our mind’s relationship with the object will change. Everything in what we perceive to be our external reality is a reflection of an inner reality. It is only by changing our inner reality that we change what we perceive to be our external reality. We define our internal reality as ‘just our imagination’ and therefore unreal. We define external reality as real. This is to hold the effect that is the external reality to be its own cause.
Sensory Perception
Sensory, visual and auditory perception is the medium through which we obtain information. Auditory and visual perception is used to constrain our seen and heard reality within what our beliefs have pre-defined that perceived reality to be. Once our mind has been conditioned through education to define everything in our seen reality our eyes are used as the most vigilant surveillance in existence. Our mind uses our eyes to constantly and vigilantly monitor our seen reality for any stimulus that conforms to our mind’s definition and replaces this seen reality with our mind’s understanding of it.
Conflict
Judgement is what causes all non-natural psychological and bodily responses. We then blame that response for what we feel without questioning the judgement that caused it. Our anger, depression and recurring thoughts are responding to our own judgement. The hypotheses of Medical Science look to identify the cause of the symptoms collectively called ‘disease’. The symptoms are the effect of our own judgement or the judgement of others existing within our minds as universal beliefs. The effects of our judgement are the symptoms we experience.
History of the Ego
Those we love or care about we cannot protect if we are love, compassion and understanding. We don’t want those we love to be robbed, attacked, raped, tortured or murdered. If we are acceptance, understanding and forgiveness we have no choice but to stand by and let these things happen to those we love. We could not be wholly good whilst there was evil in the world because to be ‘acceptance’ means we accept without protest those who do evil. We cannot protect ourselves from others unless we can control them. So what is it that can control? The ‘ego’.
Religion
Religion is a misrepresentation of God. Religion is not of God because it seeks to define God. Religion is the wolf in sheep’s clothing. The Lamb is the innocent child. All children are God’s children. The wolf occupies the perspective of the mother to justify the lack of compassion that must exist for a mother to deny the feelings of her own child. Moral values are ‘demons’ each and every one of them. What is is! ‘Good’ and ‘bad’ are concepts each competing to define the same thing. Good and bad are demons that prejudice our perception.
The Teacher
When a teacher or guru speaks it doesn’t matter what they say or write unless it is believed. What is taught will only be accepted by those who believe. If what is taught conflicts with what a person believes to be true it may be considered interesting but not personally acceptable. Jesus is held as the archetypal prophet. If Jesus returned in a body and said to all those who would listen this is the way to freedom, love and everlasting happiness would anyone listen or believe? In a world where beliefs have usurped truth we cannot believe anything that our existing beliefs reject.
The Message
