JUDAISM’S VIEW OF JESUS AND THE LAW

‘Among followers of Judaism, those who believe he actually existed as a person, Jesus is viewed as having been viewed as the most influential, and consequently the most damaging, (*) of all the false messiahs. (*) However, since the traditional Jewish belief is that the messiah has not yet come (**) and the Messianic Age is not yet present, (**) the total rejection of Jesus as either messiah or deity has never been a central issue for Judaism.
   Judaism has never accepted any of the claimed fulfilments of prophecy that Christianity attributes to Jesus. Judaism also forbids the worship of a person as a form of idolatry, (***) since the central belief of Judaism is the absolute unity and singularity of God. Jewish eschatology holds that the coming of the Messiah will be associated with a specific series of events that have not yet occurred, including the return of Jews to their homeland and the rebuilding of the Temple, (****) a Messianic Age of peace and understanding during which the knowledge of God fills the earth, (****) and Jews believe that none of these events occurred during the lifetime of Jesus (nor have they occurred afterwards), (****) he was not the Messiah. ----

How does one counter such long-entrenched beliefs? From the religious-debate standpoint, there is probably no point. Since there is no possibility for any “inroads-of-logic” to the Jewish religious mindset here; all that is left is to “tell it like it really is”! So: In reply to that dissertation on what clearly amounts to a conclusive Jewish “religious world-view”; let’s make a few hard proclamations about it.

(*) Jesus: “The most influential, yet consequently the most damaging, of all the false messiahs. --- To whom is He the most damaging? Perhaps the following rejoinder to appallingly-damaging Jewish religiosity is most appropriate here: “Give them enough rope and they will hang themselves”. For surely, an horrific awakening is all that is left for such stupid blindness!

(**) The Jewish belief “is that the messiah has not yet come”. What would the true “Messiah” bring, the personal wishes of the Jewish people? How selfishly-trite and shallow a belief. In very blunt logic: A True Messiah, Who would obviously be Part of and come from The Godhead, would thus naturally carry The Divine Laws of God in their entirety and the full knowledge of all of Creation as an inherent Part of Him.

(***) We would certainly agree that “the worship of a person as a form of idolatry” is clearly very wrong. In the case of Jesus, but also Mary; under the sure and unfailing outworking of Divine Law, the sycophantic Christian propensity to worship both these personages will bring such non-God-Willed practices to a severe end.

(****) According to Jewish religious dogma, the only sure way that we can know that the Messianic Age is upon us is through fulfilment of the following events: (1) The “return of Jews to their homeland”, (2) the “rebuilding of the Temple”, and (3) a “Messianic Age of peace and understanding” during which “the knowledge of God fills the earth”.

Well, you --- the Jewish race --- certainly have the first one, of which we have strongly commented on. The second; the rebuilding of the Temple, is now just a too-late, religious pipe-dream. For one, you forever forfeited the right to that possibility when you murdered His Son, for the Divine treasure for mankind in your keeping --- the Ark of the Covenant ---- was taken from you, and, in addition, you were “driven out” of your forsaken city by the Roman General, Titus; thus fulfilling the great prophetic warning of Jesus to you.

None of these three events “occurred during the lifetime of Jesus” (nor have they occurred afterwards). Therefore, no Messiah, then and now! So no “Messianic Age of peace and understanding” during which “the knowledge of God fills the earth” (3). That is evidently the final determination of the wise “Elders of Zion”.

We, however, know better; for we have quoted from the very “Final Word” of The Son of Man --- which is now on earth and available to all, even to Muslims and Jews!

Reader: Surely you are able to clearly recognise what we have been proclaiming in the last 700 odd pages of this Work! We have been proclaiming the sure fact that “the knowledge of God is here on earth. It has not yet “filled the earth”, but that is because ancient prophecy has also been fulfilled. i.e.,

“He shall come like a thief in the night” --- and --- “you know not the hour that He Cometh”. Therefore: “Only the few will know”.

Until and unless the “big three” of monotheism, Islam, Christianity and Judaism --- who stupidly and arrogantly believe they possess the right to battle over the very “Ownership of GOD”, and who are also battling over “ownership” of Jerusalem --- finally awaken to His Truth now on earth, nothing will ever change!

Lastly for this Section: the great warning to us all about Him: JESUS --- The Light of the World, given so long ago:

“The Light Shineth in the darkness; and the darkness
comprehendeth it not!”

Let’s reword that warning to reflect the beliefs and attitudes towards Him from the Jewish religion in the first instance; and for all Muslims in the second ----- in direct concert with what we are tasked to Proclaim in this very Work!

“The Light Shineth in the (Jewish and Muslim) darkness; and
the (Jewish and Muslim) darkness comprehendeth it not.”

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The most crucial of all, however, is the very last help for mankind! ----- Thus:

THE GRAIL MESSAGE of IMANUEL/Abd-ru-shin Shineth in
the Darkness of the earth today, and the darkness of human
beings “recognises it not”!


A GENERAL OVERVIEW OF “THE LAW”!

Let’s leave behind blind religiosity for a while and garner for ourselves a little bit of good old homespun logic around this monumental reality of THE LAW! Reader, strive, therefore, to really understand the explanations that interlink the different Laws that will follow this comprehensive Introduction about them. For whilst we have looked at the religious opinions and doctrines about The Law from Islam and Judaism, this “Overview” more surely takes us towards the detail of the Laws of Creation!

Right: The notion that Universal Laws or Laws of Life govern what takes place “out there” in the cosmos is probably an easily accepted idea for most. The constancy of the motion of the stars testifies to the existence of a powerful force operating to hold star systems in relative stability. The great scientist and astronomer, Sir Isaac Newton, noted that “...only a few fundamental laws...” governed the Universe. He also believed the same laws applied on earth. So, the concept of Universal Law is a well-established idea in the psyche of humankind. Most religions, too, accept and teach that certain sacrosanct laws exist and are necessary for societal stability and harmony.

Basic and fundamental “rules” such as are found in the three monotheistic religions, vis-à-vis “The Ten Commandments” of the Christian faith, for example, can be clearly seen as inherently possessing the highest standards for living spiritually-correctly. Most religions and spiritual teachings similarly possess such guidelines. The further out we extend this theme, however, the more contentious the whole paradigm becomes. When we examine the laws of the many and varied cultures and ethnic groups of global humanity, we find ideas that differ markedly from the standard accepted by the religions of the “big three” ---– not that those followers necessarily practise what they ostensibly believe. Thus, huge differences reveal themselves in human interpretations of this enigmatic concept called “The Law”.

In terms of the Christian Faith, it is probably fair to say that many Christians would believe that The Ten Commandments are The Law. The Book of Leviticus also offers specific detail of precise Law covering all aspects of human relationships. Often thought to relate to Jewish life, culture and religion solely, the Laws outlined in Leviticus reveal specific “Spiritual aspects” that are relevant for all peoples, simply by virtue of the fact that we all possess, and are affected by, precise natural processes centred on the human body. Whilst these aspects of Law are clearly that; is this The Law that Jesus referred to as that which He came “not to overthrow”? Or is there more?

The Spiritual Laws of which we speak can be stated to be that force or power which drives to its relevant, appropriate, and commensurate end, a justified outworking resulting from the decisions we make. Whether made as individuals or globally-collectively, The Spiritual Laws of Creation return to us the inevitable consequences deriving from such decisions. In concert with that reality, the many parables of Jesus exactly illustrate the operation of those Laws of Creation in the affairs of men.

We now know that the outworking of the power inherent in Divine Law brought into being the actual Creations, and the same Power sustains and maintains it all. It is thus the primary factor in ensuring that we have an earthly home in which to exercise our free-will attribute, and thereby receive our appropriate “return/s”.

The key Law in that particular case is called The Law of Reciprocal Action. We know it more generally in its religious guise as: “What a man sows, that shall he reap”. Science broadly notates the same process as: “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.”

Relatively few in number, these very exacting Laws, by virtue of their unchangeable and thus inviolable nature, precisely determine and dispense appropriate and perfect justice specifically commensurate with the nature of the deed deriving from the particular decision taken.

Moreover, completely automatic in operation, The Spiritual Laws take no account of religious, cultural, scientific, or even political determinations and proclamations. Neither do they take into account whether or not humankind is even aware of them.

For they simply are!

Only with the knowledge of them, and thus how they work in their individual and collective outworking, can earthly humanity ever hope to understand not just why the world is in crisis, but why concerted international efforts by so many well-meaning groups are not able, for the long term, to effect fundamental and sweeping change for the better.

Thus, global societies continue to unravel despite such efforts.

Since The Spiritual Laws provide the only sure mechanism whereby positive change can be wrought across the globe, rapid adjustment to them is imperative. However, given the diverse and fractious divisions permeating world societies, such a vision now is simply not possible. That being the case in the collective sense, we can at least individually awaken to the recognition of them and thereby gift to ourselves the exact mechanism whereby we can perhaps attain a small measure of peace of mind at this time, for many, of frightening and uncertain change.

In the context of modern societies, then, the notion of prosperity goes hand in hand with the associated idea that science and scientific research are indispensable to developing that prosperity. However, to prosper by “knowing The Law” is not about earthly science. It is about the recognition and application of the overarching Spiritual Laws of Creation which govern, maintain, and drive all things, including, ultimately, science and scientific research and endeavour.

The Spiritual Laws are therefore the only means by which we can know why the mainly dark and bloodthirsty actions of humankind over millennia have produced a global society wracked by religious, cultural, political, and ethnic divisions so polarised that even civil dialogue between groups and factions is not always possible now. Transgressions of the key Laws of Life for all on Earth automatically bring forth the reciprocal effect upon all who so transgress. It is thus a lawful effect, perfectly just in its outworking, for it will be exactly commensurate with the degree of good or evil that the various groups and races within humanity have visited upon each other over time.

In the context of religious thinking and probably most cultural traditions, the word “Spiritual” may mean any number of things. In its distilled essence and form, however, it should mean only one thing. By Spiritual, we should mean “of the spirit” i.e., that which is not of the material, but which occupies the higher level. We should not use this word to attempt to describe things that are concerned solely with the mundane and earthly, including some aspects of traditional cultures. And we certainly should not debase the inherent noble Power of the word by attempting to ascribe to it practices or beliefs such as those pertaining to occult or psychic activity, for example.

If we, however, describe this word as being more uplifting, more noble in its origin, and therefore in its application more able to offer those higher virtues capable of producing the best kind of society --- and if it is that which originates from out of the Highest Spheres --- then we are talking of absolutes! We are thus speaking of the need to apply such “rules”, such “Absolutes of Law” to all societies if they are ever to achieve that desired state. In the final analysis we are stating that such a “fix” is only possible under clear, uniform, strict and unchangeable Laws?

It is thus important to clarify this amorphous thing called “The Law” in order to give better understanding of some of the many incorrect interpretations of this vitally important word --- Spiritual. And therewith strive to illustrate its true meaning, thereby separating the beneficial from the clearly unhelpful, and certainly from the dangerous.

Irrespective of the basic tenets of the many and varied religions on earth, The Law is invariably perceived to have, as its underlying foundation, a higher Being or beings who are the guardians of that “Law”, with those same beings watching over the people to whom they will have given it! Throughout history many races have striven to base their societies upon the ideal of The Law, with the Jewish people, as we know, perhaps possessing the strongest application of it in their long history.

As we have strongly hammered, however: If the Old Testament is read as an historical document rather than as a religious one, it is very clear that the ancient Israelites only prospered when they obeyed The Law. When they rejected it outright or even simply adopted the laws of the peoples around them, they invariably suffered invasion, enslavement, and sometimes great slaughter.

By definition, too, the customary law of any race of people can only derive from the beliefs, customs, and traditions that that particular group will have believed was correct for them at a particular time in their development. The historical record for many ethnic groups and tribal societies also unfortunately reveal their particular law/lore as being strongly derived from their fears and superstitions. So, whilst that “customary law” may have served well for a given time of development; if a race proceeds normally and naturally through the various stages of “spiritual” growth and development, certain factors of that law should clearly change as greater insights hopefully lead away from the fear and/or superstitious aspects perhaps previously present within that group.

For the scientist, Higher Laws designated as being Spiritual might not seem to be of either great benefit or great consequence to science as a whole. However, the very opposite of that view stands as the truth of it all here; for it is exactly that truth which the colossus of science, Sir Isaac Newton, understood very clearly. Moreover, his recognition of certain inviolable and immutable and thus unchangeable Laws governing all things precisely accords with the very reason and purpose of this Work –-- for scientists and philosophers alike.

Therefore, science and scientists should not think that the so-called “great questions to life” which theologians and Bible scholars endlessly debate over should not concern them as well. For those debates are exactly about Forces and Laws that scientists are meant to also understand, so it is precisely in their interests to resolve them. Far greater knowledge would be acquired as a result, thereby leading to greater discoveries.

That is the primary purpose of science here in the material world; to recognise, learn and understand The Divine Laws of Creation and then use that knowledge to explain the outworking of “Spiritual Law” on earthly processes.

The general, overall tenor of this Work, which is about Proclaiming The All-Truth and Its Bringer, usually regarded as the preserve of religion or perhaps philosophy, is nonetheless directed to the scientific establishment too --– for the reasons previously stated: For Science and Divine or Spiritual Law are not mutually exclusive.

We will go so far as to say; scientists need to seriously understand that that Law --- the foundation for all processes --- does not need earth-science in any shape or form. It is, and forever will be, the ultimate authority in and for all scientific processes undertaken --- irrespective of the views of science and scientists. Science, therefore, inherently needing to function under precise Divine Creation-Law, cannot exist except under the aegis and authority of that most ultimate of Law.

The Nature of The Spiritual Laws or Principles therefore decrees that they are the only model on which to base any society today because, by their very constitution, they are absolutely inviolable and unchangeable. Since these absolute parameters logically further decree that such Laws unequivocally transcend humankind’s generally narrow views; in their clear Perfection they are thus the ideal foundation for all societies and ethnic groups. Whilst we should certainly examine all laws which contribute to the sum total of all legislation that a given country or people might possess, only those aspects which accord with The Spiritual Laws of Creation should be retained. That which does not do so should be discarded once ‘more correct laws’ are formulated to replace them.

The English empiricist philosopher, John Locke, (1632-1704) notable for his “Two Treatises of Government” which justified the English Revolution of 1688 opposing the notion of the divine right of Kings”, held the view that the idea of God was a “potential” of human reason. And that it was likely for human reason to know that God exists. Most of the Enlightenment philosophers also believed in the “reality” of a God, for the world was far too rational for that not to be the case, in their general view.

Reader: In terms of the oft-heard and great angst of “why things happen to us”, let’s look at the standard human reaction to that common reality.

Given the seemingly inherent belief in God on the greater part of humankind --- but in a religious context only --- at times of human suffering it is not surprising to hear the anguished cries of:

“If there is a God of Love, how can He let this happen?” ; “How can there be a God of Love when there is so much misery and suffering in the world?” ; “How can it be?”, “Why him, her, them?”; “Why did they have to be taken?”; “I don’t understand it!” etc., etc.

Very great puzzlement is also evinced at the seemingly unfair and untimely death of “good” people or young children, or in the birth of the disabled. Yet whilst there may not generally be clear understanding of the reasons for such seemingly “hard fate”, the very fact that many people ask why “God should allow it” appears to bear out the “enlightenment philosophers” belief of a probable knowing within man of the existence of a great and All-Mighty “Creator”.

Yet, despite that “acceptance”, nonetheless; therein stands our conundrum, our non-understanding! We feel great pain and anguish during times of deep sorrow because in our present state of “development”, the ultimate reason why, more often than not, is often lost to us --- or at least very difficult to understand. Words of solace and condolence are offered but, whilst they are comforting, they may not provide answers. What is then left? What remains is an experience that can serve to bring people together, but also an event ---- if deeply traumatic --- with the potential to shatter lives and split families or groups apart.

And, moreover, can unfortunately also reduce the quality of life of those affected because the nature of the event itself and the ongoing memory of it may not appear to offer any logical reasons as to why. The resultant legacy may well be the inability to ever find reasons or answers, thus resulting in ongoing and unresolved heartache. Yet to be faced with seemingly unfair “blows of fate” should act as the strongest impetus to ask the key question: Why?

The “enlightenment philosophers” encouraged rational enquiry about God by rejecting any mysterious doctrines and maintaining that the existence of God could be arrived at by introspection and human experience. However, it would be unhelpful if we became so absorbed in our enquiry or search that much else that is worthwhile and valuable in life is excluded. Therefore --- for the purpose of this introductory phase to the detail of that Law --- in the continuation of one’s life, one should adjust one’s thinking and perhaps one’s lifestyle to support the aim of finding that reason why. In order to find such answers, however, there must logically be some rational mechanism whereby this can be achieved.

The premise postulated here is that only with the knowledge of The Spiritual Laws of Creation can sense ever be made of our existence and our reason for being.

Only a thorough knowledge of those Laws can provide a logical thought-process mechanism through which the question of apparently unfair and/or “hard blows of fate” can be answered. The result will consequently “free” the suffering individual or group from the former state and angst of “not knowing”. Moreover, the very same acceptance on a wider scale offers the potential for a similarly “free” and subsequently-enlightened global society than is currently the case. Unfortunately, and due only to the global saturation of blind intransigence on the part of earth’s inhabitants, that is no longer the potential. The stark reality is, is that it’s now too late!

Therefore, the illumination of The Divine Laws of Creation in this PART II is given to hammer home two primary realities. The first is that the explanations of them will help you to understand “why it is too late”; and the second is to offer help to those who might awaken to the truth of our human arrogance and stupidity and desperately wish to distance themselves from it. That’s all!

So, reader: To show how deep that “mind-set” is; a brief introduction to just two points of “The Law” should suffice to illustrate why there is such an entrenched general refusal by humankind to acknowledge the existence of Spiritual Law --- let alone the inviolability of it. The same two points will further demonstrate how beliefs that do not acknowledge The Spiritual Laws effectively prevent basic understanding of the why of life’s tragedies anyway.

Firstly, it is probably reasonable to assume that most people accept the notion that we possess “free will” i.e., we can, and do, make decisions for ourselves virtually every minute of each day. In addition, personal decisions via this mechanism should allow us a large measure of autonomy over our individual destinies. If this were not so, we would be forced to assume that what happens in our lives is determined by factors outside our control. If such an “arbitrary force” did actually exist, it might perhaps be regarded as a mischievous or even rogue one given that some people seem to suffer more setbacks than might reasonably be expected to occur in a normal life.

Secondly, the simple act of making a decision about anything must presuppose an outcome of some kind. Most students of religion, philosophy, or even homespun logic will probably accept the concept that: “... what one sows one must, or shall, reap”.

Certainly, for the general Christian community, this Biblical directive is sacrosanct in its perceived truth. That “notion” being logically sound, there must therefore be a just and lawful mechanism that produces the outcome or the reaction to every decision made. If it is reasonable to assume the first part of the equation --- that there will be an outcome from a decision made --- then it is surely equally reasonable to assume the second; that there will be a return --- without fail! The premise is this: Ultimately it is our own personal decisions that therefore determine all outcomes which subsequently affect us. Science, in essence, states this process thus:

“For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.”

The logic of our equation is surely simple enough to understand. After all, it simply states the Power and Immutability of the Great Law of “Sowing and Reaping”. Notwithstanding that inviolable Truth, let’s take these two cornerstones, i.e., the notion of free will --- and --- we reap what we sow, and bring them together to try to make sense of tragedy and misfortune. For if each notion is true; and this work unequivocally accepts that truth, then any misfortune --- and it is usually only misfortunes and tragedies that produce any kind of soul-searching for answers anyway --- must have been set in place somewhere, sometime, by the reaper. Therefore, if we consider the heart of the two particular tenets to be absolute, then the first absolute would naturally presuppose that the second one is also –-- in terms of a logical and meaningful connection and outcome.

However, because the reasons for misfortunes are not always immediately apparent --- whereby the concept and logic of “free will” and its equally logical connection of “reaping the effects” is clearly visible and thus understandable --- different kinds of mechanisms are then proposed as explanations, or we despair of ever knowing why. The clear contention stated in this particular equation is that if both tenets are absolute and sacrosanct under the aegis of Inviolable Law, then we cannot possibly postulate other reasons which exclude or alter either one to simply fabricate any such connection between our free-will decision-making ability and reaping what we sow. And we certainly should not try to make it conveniently fit a religious doctrine or dogma or, indeed, any personal faith/belief mode.

Whilst we therefore possess the inherent freedom to make any kind of decision we may wish; we must nonetheless clearly recognise that we are absolutely not free to choose to either accept or reject the returning consequences! Under the inviolability of this absolute equation of life, consequences must always derive from decisions! That is the clear and unequivocal reality.

Now, reader; if the two tenets are not accepted as being absolute and thus lawfully connected, then searching outside these two sacrosanct positions to try to find an answer might perhaps seemingly provide “other” alternatives. However, if such an answer denies the inherently logical and thus lawful connection between a “free-will decision” and “...reaping what one has sown” --- i.e., correctly-accepting that there must naturally be a consequence from making a decision in the first place --- then that particular position naturally refutes the inherent inviolability of any “lawful connection” to begin with. Yet the two inviolable “cornerstones” of this equation of life unequivocally state that they clearly must be absolute, both in essence and reality.

The inviolability of “inherent justice” naturally contained within The Spiritual Laws thus ensures that they will always provide correct answers. It is an infallible mechanism that not only does not compromise the absolute nature of the two “cornerstones” or “pillars” of our illustration, but positively strengthens the interlinking of all The Spiritual Laws to provide genuine answers to all questions and situations.

Therefore, since the two “cornerstones” of our illustration must always be absolute and lawfully connected but without the source of any particular angst being unidentifiable, then the resultant and clear contention and answer here is that another Law --- equally as valid and sacrosanct --- must be taken into account if one wishes to understand all connections. For it is that other Law, not generally recognised and accepted, which provides the key. Unfortunately, it is the refusal to accept this factual Law that gives rise to so much confusion and anguish when needing to find answers –-- for major problems, particularly.

That crucial “other Law” --- The Law of Rebirth --- is explained in a later Discourse!

The concept of “Rebirth” or reincarnation, whilst not generally accepted by most Western religions or the scientific community, is an absolute belief for many hundreds of millions worldwide. Multi-earth lives provide the only truly viable mechanism whereby the two “spiritually-lawful” cornerstones of free will and reaping what one sows can be logically explained --- more particularly where an Earth-life does not offer sufficient time for certain categories of “reaping” to occur. It is not for nothing that Jesus stated quite emphatically (Matthew 7:7): — “Seek, and You Shall Find.”

He, by virtue of His Divine Origin, spoke always from the knowledge of The Divine Laws of Creation, for they inherently resided within Him as a living part of His Divinity! He was thus clearly able to survey all happenings, both the small and the large, in their complete cycles from cause to effect. Therefore, if any so-called ‘answers’ are truly so in terms of the true and definitive explanation, they must inherently-encompass the ‘Spiritual aspect’ firstly.

In contrast to the Spiritual point of view taught by Jesus, a purely medical, scientific, religious, political, or sociological explanation for a particular problem can only take in the material effect. Though the end effect may be seen or felt materially, it is, nevertheless, the result of a “spiritually-willed” decision made somewhere, sometime by someone on an individual basis, or by some group, collectively. By virtue of a purely material application, earthly disciplines are therefore not able to give a complete overview for, invariably; they are unable to see the actual starting point of such outcomes, irrespective of views to the contrary from within the individual “disciplines”.

This is not to decry the very great help that we can obviously obtain from disciplines concerned with empirical paradigms. However, where it is a question of finding the actual source of many of our problems or the answers to life itself, earth-orientated practices are not able to supply this. Only in Spiritual Law and Its Divine Source can we find these ultimate answers!

Despite the superiority of the Spiritual viewpoint over the materialistic one, the whole thrust of our much-vaunted, modern education system virtually denies the existence of anything other than what can be materially seen, heard, felt, or measured. Currently, the scientific and rationalist point of view reigns supreme, but there are other voices questioning the narrow strictures of such points of view. These voices are slowly swelling in volume and some are coming from within the scientific disciplines too. In essence, the realisation may be slowly dawning that all we have been taught to blindly accept through the education and religious systems may prove to be very different from the actual reality.

We should ask the question: “What is the genesis of this irrational attitude and widespread denial that seeks to withhold from man the knowledge of his true Spiritual self, and therewith, his actual origin?”

Should this not be the ultimate goal of the various disciplines rather than the present one of attempting to steer all away from this so-called “irrational and unscientific” view? Is there fear, then, of this unscientific, perhaps politically and even culturally incorrect word --- SPIRITUAL?

The obvious problem encountered when discussing The Spiritual is that the very word itself is generally lumped with whatever ideas humankind may determine it to encompass. Things that originate from, or are connected to, the actual Spiritual Realm can be deemed to be genuinely spiritual. And because only the truly spiritual can actually be of The Spiritual, what is of that Realm is therefore sacred.

However, because the Realm of the so-called “beyond” is generally deemed as being “all spiritual”, anything that is connected with or derived from it is also viewed similarly by some religions and cultures. Far too much is made of purely man-made icons being designated sacred and therefore regarded as spiritual in humankind’s estimation. There thus exists the farcical idea that everything that man decides is sacred must therefore be so and, by extension, also Spiritual and thus Holy. That, of course, is just plain rubbish, for nothing could be further from The Truth.

In truth, some aspects of various cultures --- such as the meanings ascribed to grotesque carved images and certain ancient practices --- are so aspiritual in both form and connection that it is difficult to even begin to understand how the cultural adherents of those kinds of beliefs could ever declare them to be sacred or spiritual.

The Spiritual Laws of Creation offer clear, objective solutions as to how a more open and correct mind-set can free both cultural emotionalism and scientific rigidity from self-imposed and inculcated beliefs that stubbornly cling to a wrong understanding of this vitally important life-word --------- SPIRITUAL!

The greatest teacher humankind has ever had is history, and within its pages may be found the struggles of individuals who have been lone and lonely “voices in the wilderness”. Boat-rockers they were, all of them. Possessing the courage to raise their voices in protest against blindness and sometimes sheer stupidity they, the “Champions of Truth”, possessed the clarity of vision or perception to know that certain “official” teachings and views were gravely in error. Those same lone, courageous voices were often stilled, silenced, to protect the ego and power base of those in authority who fought to maintain, at all costs, the “official version”.

In some cases, the ‘lone voices’ were able to convince the “authorities” of the correctness of their beliefs, though often after years of protest. Then, in absolute farcical hypocrisy, the “new knowledge” became the accepted norm; a norm or standard not only accepted by the ruling authority, but also promoted by it as being correct and therefore suitable for the masses. Do we think that it is any different today? No, we certainly do not, for mankind’s collective ego has not yet humbled itself sufficiently to voluntarily recognise the very truth of what we must assert herein; that, historically, the essence of Truth has never lain with the masses --- only with the few!

A classic example is that of the view of Ptolemy ( ca.AD 90-168), a Graeco-Egyptian mathematician and geographer who believed that the earth was the centre of the universe and that the sun and planets revolved around it. In stating this view, he set in place a theory that remained unchallenged for about 1600 years. The probable main reason for such a long acceptance of a wrong belief was that it perfectly suited the egocentric interpretation of the Church. No voice was raised against it until 1543 when Copernicus, (1473-1543) a German/Polish astronomer, found that only with the sun at the centre of the universe could the planetary system work. From that point on the Ptolemaic belief was rejected --- at least by the newly emerging sciences.

Unfortunately, this was not a belief shared by the Church and is graphically illustrated in the persecution of Galileo (1564-1642). Galileo, an Italian astronomer, and mathematician, agreed with the claim of Copernicus that the sun was the centre of our universe. This “unacceptable view”, however, led to his persecution by the Inquisition in 1633. He recanted but is said to have muttered under his breath: “But it (the earth) does move.”

Another stark example was the debate between Flat-Earth theorists led by the European Church, and the opposite belief accepted by scholars in some monasteries that the earth was spherical. Columbus and other navigators are reported to have taken it as being the probable truth, purely by logical observations of the curved and disappearing horizon. History records that the journey of Columbus forced an immediate change of view within “the establishment”. Long before then, however, Greek mathematicians already understood the truth of a spherical earth.

Teaching “authorities” should learn to accept that the very nature of Truth guarantees that it cannot be muted or suppressed forever. It would be far better for them to keep a completely open mind to all voices. The one constant that will determine the validity of any definition of The Spiritual will be whether or not it accords with the actual Spiritual Laws, thereby separating the “superficial voices” from the “true ones”. The lawful mechanism contained within the Living Laws thus determine which “voices” will ultimately fail and which will stand the test of time. This is the only true measure as these Laws are, themselves, Eternal. And within the life-path parameters given for humankind it is we who must finally acknowledge and accept this fact, since our life, being and sustenance are given only via these Laws.

In concert, to glibly state that mankind is “not meant to understand the ways of The Creator” presupposes the requirement to submit to and accept all suffering in fatalistic ignorance. The Spiritual Laws decree that we actually are “masters of our own destiny”, even if present events seem to suggest otherwise. It is our refusal to accept the Truth of The Law, as it actually is, that is the problem. The above historic examples together with the previously postulated premise that we are masters of our own destiny indicate that no one should be afraid to abandon dogma when it becomes apparent that it is clearly not true. We should especially beware of leaders who knowingly still maintain the old errors out of fear of a collapse of their authority and organisation.

Let’s revisit Einstein and once again note his views on the relationship between science and religion. From his Ideas and Opinions P. 42-3:

“Intelligence makes clear to us the interrelation of means and ends. But mere thinking cannot give us a sense of the ultimate and fundamental ends. To make clear these fundamental ends and valuations, and to set them fast in the emotional life of the individual, seems to me precisely the most important function which religion has to perform in the social life of man. And if one asks whence derives the authority of such fundamental ends, since they cannot be stated and justified merely by reason, one can only answer: they come into being not through demonstration but through revelation, through the medium of powerful personalities. One must not attempt to justify them, but rather to sense their nature simply and clearly.”

As we state unequivocally throughout this Work of Proclamation, there should be no contradiction between science and religious/spiritual truth, and that science cannot supersede any such truths. Though noting the demarcation between science and religion, Einstein also understood the strong reciprocal relationships and dependencies between the two. He added:

“Though religion may be that which determines the goal, it has, nevertheless learned from science, in the broadest sense, what means will contribute to the attainment of the goals it has set up. But science can only be created by those who are thoroughly imbued with the aspiration toward truth and understanding.”

Einstein summarises his view of the science/religion relationship thus:
“Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”


THE NATURE OF THE SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES

Reader: much of the content of this major Section is sourced from a publication that very succinctly elucidates the knowledge of the above. However, the author will not be named here! As we have said previously, any and all inclusions that enhance the spiritual knowledge-quotient of this Work give to relevant “authors” their well-deserved kudos!

“The Laws of Creation derive their eternal validity from the fact of God’s Perfection. On account of God’s Perfection, His Will is therefore perfect. Consequently, The Laws manifesting This Will are also necessarily perfect. They cannot be improved upon, and they remain absolutely unchangeable.”

This inviolable premise logically stipulates that God cannot act in an arbitrary manner and “do anything He wants”. It may certainly be convenient to offer that kind of explanation to a difficult religious question thereby seeming to temporarily get rid of the problem, but it still, nonetheless, awaits a correct answer.

For if God is able to do “anything He wants” by virtue of the fact that He Is God, where then lies His Perfection? Since it must logically follow that if He Is Perfect and His Laws are Perfect and therefore unchangeable, then any belief that states otherwise automatically casts doubt on this accepted belief in “A Perfect God”. Quite simply, any attempt to change a Perfect Law naturally implies that The Law could not have been perfect in the first instance --- if it then needed to be changed.

The Creator of All the Worlds does not institute convenient “law changes” just to suit human religious foolishness!

It is thus impossible to impute ‘imperfection’ to A Perfect God!

Therefore, the recognition of The Spiritual (Divine) Laws of Creation by intransigent global humanity ----- as they actually are in their inviolability ----- will finally return to God the Perfection that Is His.

Two thousand years ago Jesus, the great “boat rocker” of the time, gave stern warning to the, then, Jewish Religious Authority. The fact that He did not support their practices is clearly apparent by virtue of His condemnation of them. The same lawful condemnation applies today to all teachings and disciplines; but especially all religions, which attempt to suppress the Truth. From Matthew, 23:13, Fenton:

“Woe to you, play-acting professors and Pharisees! because you lock up the Kingdom of Heaven in the face of mankind; while you yourselves neither enter, nor allow those arriving to go in.”

In accordance with that clear message, The Spiritual Laws or Principles that guide and determine the course of everything throughout Creation must logically include the destiny of man on earth. These Laws being Eternal; everything in Creation, including humankind, came into being through the operation of them, and our continued existence here depends on them also. The originator of these Laws is “God, The Creator”. Only what is inherent in His Laws of Creation can ever come to full bloom and be sustained in Creation. By extension, all else i.e., activities not supported by those Laws, must inevitably fail.

Even though The Spiritual Laws allowed us the gift of conscious life, they have not always been clearly recognised. Throughout man’s long and convoluted history, great and wise spiritual teachers arose at varying intervals to call attention to them, Teachers such as Krishna, Zoroaster, Lao-Tse, Moses and the Prophets, Buddha, Mohammed --- and Jesus. At best, their Teachings were sometimes not understood or sometimes misinterpreted. At worst, they were knowingly distorted.

Because these Creation-Laws were insufficiently understood, misinterpreted, taken out of context or knowingly distorted, it was not possible to consistently apply them beneficially. The origin of the present dangerous rise of religious fundamentalism can probably be traced to this problem of narrow, non-understanding. This unfortunate development, among many other increasing problems now facing us, may be seen as a direct correlation between the immutability of The Spiritual Laws and our refusal to heed them. The solutions to all our problems lie solely in a voluntary adjustment to them in a conscious, correct and consistent way.

Simply put, we have no choice but to understand and apply The Spiritual Laws to every facet of human life and not believe we can formulate better principles that are as effective. For it would be foolish to imagine that human beings can improve on The Will of The Creator, as we ourselves are only products of His Laws. Chaos and confusion will always be the result of attempting to deviate from them. No one can evade or change them, and The Laws apply equally to all in the same measure; to rich and poor, the powerful and the weak, the clever and the stupid, to kings and slaves. The effects are the same on those who know The Law as on those who do not, and ignorance of them does not keep their effects at bay!

If man’s laws are compared with Spiritual Law, we find that earthly laws differ from society to society whereas The Laws of Creation remain the same everywhere and are Eternal. Our laws are constantly in a state of review and can even be changed by public opinion or dictatorial decree. So, what may have been perfectly legal yesterday may not be so today. By contrast, Spiritual Law is immutable and unchangeable, and will forever remain so.

The cost, complexity, and duration of trials in earthly law courts indicate quite conclusively that our laws are not simple to understand and require lawyers who have needed to spend years of study to become conversant with them. Even then, however, there can be much disagreement over individual points of law. By comparison, The Laws of Creation are clear, concise, and simple. Moreover, they are few in number, easily understandable, and do not require years of laborious study. They are alluded to in all the major religions and philosophies of the world’s peoples. The chambers of Lawyers and Judges will contain row upon row of books of laws and statutes. The Eternal Laws, however, can be contained in just one publication.

These immutable Laws have, as their infallible foundation, Justice, Love and Purity, and are therefore perfect in the dispensation of “true justice”. By virtue of our present level of spiritual immaturity we, on the other hand, do not have such a benchmark. Despite the fact that we have many laws, we do not always see justice done. So-called “legal technicalities” permit clever lawyers to exploit the present “justice system” to set free people who have actually committed crimes. By contrast no one escapes The Spiritual Laws. Their infallible, automatic outworking ensures that Justice and Love are meted out in perfect balance at all times, even though not always immediately, or even apparently so. But meted out they always are!

The incorruptible nature of The Eternal Laws ensures that they will reign supreme. This means that in the determination of innocence or guilt in an earthly court of law, man’s laws do not always offer protection or absolution should an innocent person be wrongly condemned and sentenced. The responsibility for that miscarriage of justice, however, will fall back on all those who contributed to it --- as it must in all things. Attempting to shelter behind a veil of “fulfilling one’s duty” in the ostensible application of justice via the Nation’s laws matters not at all. We are all irrevocably tied to the consequences of our decisions, and a wrong conviction will eventually bring the inevitable reciprocal effect.

“Judges and juries, then, have a particularly difficult task given the spiritually unhealthy state of our secular laws. Passing judgement according to such laws may satisfy the dictates of earthly society but, if the judgement is a transgression against The Laws of Creation, the judges are bound to reap the reciprocal effect of their spiritually-wrong decisions. For that reason, it should be in the interests of the judiciary to actively concern themselves with the knowledge of the only true Laws.

What should be seriously understood is the fact that the material worlds are presently in transition between one phase and another. Literally everything is in transition and upheaval, man, and nature. Consequently, man is being strongly compelled to heed these Laws under the increasing spiritual pressure currently being applied to all things. The effect of this pressure can be seen in the accelerating breakdown of societies and the increasing problems globally. In short, man’s time of formulating his own policies is at an end. We will now be forced to adjust to The Laws of Creation --- or perish! This increasing pressure, moreover, strengthens both the good and the bad.”

That is surely the state of 21st century humanity! Thus, the good --- that which adjusts itself to The Laws --- will prosper. In equal measure the bad or wrong --- that which opposes The Laws --- will collapse. In this simple equation resides an infallible standard by which to measure events around us and to choose accordingly.

Reader: Let’s note here that the many references to the Divine or Spiritual Laws of Creation thus far, but without full explanation; are probably somewhat irksome for you. However, whilst they are obviously critically important for every facet of life and purpose in the whole of Creation; to have placed them as the first Discourse would not have allowed the key subject --- knowledge and recognition of The Spirit of Truth --- to readily flow. All will be explained in the following sequence of Discourses!
Here, then, are:


THE DIVINE LAWS OF CREATION

The Divine Laws of Creation, therefore, are relatively few in number. They are:

• The Law of Movement

• The Law of Reciprocal Action

• The Law of Attraction of Similar Species

• The Law of Spiritual Gravity

• The Law of Balance

• The Law of Rebirth

• Grace: – (A Gift of Divine Love)

We can also state them in more recognised terms:

• Movement: = Life

• Decisions Produce consequences

• Attraction --- Like Attracts Like

• Gravity: --- Its “Spiritual” Dynamic

• Balance: ---The Necessary Equilibrium

• Rebirth! --- Fact or Fiction?

The living dynamic of the above principles is such that their inviolable effects are felt as Laws whenever we oppose them. They cease to be Laws, and therefore become helps, when we abide by them. So, by examining each of The Laws named, it will be shown that everything in Creation is interlinked and interdependent.

Note:
A brief explanation on the vital feature of Grace: It is an aspect lawfully linked with the perfect intermeshing of The Eternal Laws, commensurate with those decisions which strive for, or are directed toward, spiritual ascent. The “spiritual characteristics” of Grace carry benevolence and beneficence under the umbrella of Divine Love, yet always also under the aegis of the Justice of The Law! From the human side, in striving to develop “grace” the especial attribute that should be concomitantly striven for is, especially, humility.

How, then, should The Spiritual Laws be described? By examining philosophical, scientific, religious, and spiritual works, clear and consistent reference to them can be found. Therefore, they could be termed “Universal”, for everyday observations of the World of Nature world show this universality of The Laws in their working reality. The key feature that Nature reveals to us is MOVEMENT ------- unceasing in its constantly-renewing, dynamic and thus beneficial activity for the earth and all life on it.

That same quality in the Natural World is also eternally-present in the “Spiritual”, for that is the Power “drives” it all. For man, Movement in the “Spiritual” sense is crucial for his very life on earth, but especially so in the “life after” --- for Movement never ceases. Cessation brings “death” --- of an absolute kind!

Now, reader; since this next very large segment of the Work is about the necessary knowledge of all the key Laws of Creation; before we begin each new Discourse about each individual Law in turn, let’s briefly introduce you to the three primary Laws of Creation from out of The Grail Message. There are other Laws of Creation, of course --- which we will also learn about --- but the three that we will just touch upon here will set the tone for the rest of the Discourses on Primordial Law, before we move on to our next Discourse proper about The Law of Movement. For with the commensurate “knowing”, we prosper; “by knowing The Law”.

“Without Revelation a Nation fades. But it prospers by knowing The Law.”

To that end, it is surely clear to any fool, religious or otherwise, that global humanity has gotten something seriously wrong for a very long time. We all know it, for we all see it in real time. For millions of people, however, that seeing and knowing translates to ongoing and horrific experiences at the hands of evil men, religious fanatics and, at times, equally evil, complicit governments and ruling authorities. Let’s learn, again, why that is the case. We know now that the only place we will find incontrovertible answers to all our questions and problems is in The Grail Message of The Spirit of Truth!

A brief introduction to the three Primary Laws of Creation before we enter more deeply into the properties, attributes, and immutable outworking of each one individually, will give us a valuable insight into what Imanuel, The Spirit of Truth, has gifted to us in His Lecture --- appropriately titled “Errors”! The actual Lecture is very long, very comprehensive and, of course, it wonderfully-assails the spirit with its great depth and breadth of Primordial Knowledge --- and that is just one Lecture!

From it we have put together a number of excerpts to hopefully set the framework for the crucial knowledge of The Primordial Laws of Creation!

So let’s give you a powerful help in identifying the Laws you will need to know to at least ensure that you get through what is drawing closer with each passing day. Whilst there are a number of essential and immutable Spiritual Laws that drive, maintain, and sustain Creation, three key Laws are decisive in the life of human beings --- on earth and beyond! Rather than me trying to explain them at the outset of this Discourse, you can read about them from The Grail Message of The Spirit of Truth!

(We hammer this aspect of The Spirit of Truth/Son of Man throughout this Ordained Work because all of Islam must one day learn that their designation of Muhammad as that Divine Being has gone against the very Will of GOD --- and thus against HIS Perfect Truth!)

Appropriately entitled, ERRORS; the particular excerpts from the following Lecture will give you an introductory insight into the three key Primordial Laws. We will add flesh to them in the following Discourses.

ERRORS

   There is many a man who lifts up his eyes seekingly for Light and Truth. His longing is great, but very often he lacks earnest volition! More than half of the seekers are not genuine. They bring their own preconceived opinion. Should they have to change it in the slightest degree, then they would much rather reject all that is new to them, even if it contains the Truth.
   Thus thousands must go under because, entangled as they are in erroneous convictions, they have restricted the freedom of movement which they need to swing themselves upward to salvation.
   There are always some who imagine they have already grasped all that is right. They have no intention of subjecting themselves to a strict examination based on what they have heard and read. --------
   Only one basic condition is essential for every listener: Earnest seeking for the Truth. He should inwardly examine the words and let them come to life, but not heed the speaker. Otherwise he derives no benefit. All who do not strive to do this are simply wasting their time from the start. --------------------------------
   Only simple thinking and intuitive perceiving can give him clarity! Such simplicity as children still possess! Calm reflection will show him that, in the ability to comprehend, simplicity is identical with clarity and also with naturalness! The one simply cannot be thought of without the others. They form a triad that expresses one concept! Whoever makes it the foundation-stone of his search will soon break through the nebulous confusion. Everything that has been added artificially will then soon collapse into nothingness. --
   Let us first of all just consider Creation. -----------------
   In the process of developing downwards, the first Creation itself brought successively three great basic divisions: As uppermost and highest is the spiritual, the Primordial Creation, followed by the denser and also gradually heavier Sphere of Animistic Substance. Lastly as the lowest, and because of its greatest density the heaviest, still follows the great Realm of Matter which, severing itself from Primordial Creation has gradually sunk down! Through this there finally remained as the uppermost only the Primordial Spiritual Substance, because in its pure nature it embodies what is lightest and most luminous. It is the oft-mentioned Paradise, the crown of all Creation.
   With the sinking down of that which becomes denser we already touch upon the Law of Gravitation, which is not only anchored in matter, but has an effect in all Creation, from the so-called Paradise down to us.
   The Law of Gravitation is of such decisive importance that everyone should hammer it into his mind; for it is the main lever in the whole evolution and process of development of the human spirit.
   I have already said that this gravitation applies not only to earthly consistencies, but also works uniformly in those parts of Creation which earthman can no longer see, and which they therefore simply call the beyond. --------------
   Side by side and co-operating with the Law of Gravitation is also the no less valuable Law of Homogeneous Species.
   I have already touched upon this in saying that one species can only recognise the same species. The proverbs: “Birds of a feather flock together”, and “like father, like son” seem to have been sensed from the Primordial Law. Together with the Law of Gravitation it swings throughout Creation.
   In addition to those already mentioned there is a third Primordial Law in Creation: The Law of Reciprocal Action. The effect of this Law is that man must reap what he has once sown, unconditionally. He cannot reap wheat where he sowed rye, nor clover where he sowed thistles. In the Ethereal World it is exactly the same. In the end he will not be able to reap kindness where he felt hatred, nor joy where he nourished envy!
   These three fundamental Laws form the corner-stones of the Divine Will! They alone automatically work out reward or punishment for a human spirit, with inexorable justice! So incorruptibly, in the most wonderful delicate gradations, that the thought of a slightest injustice in the gigantic world happening becomes impossible.
   The effect of these simple Laws brings every human spirit exactly to the place where, according to his inner attitude, he does belong. Any error here is impossible, because the manifestation of these Laws can only be set in motion by the inmost condition of a human being, which will, however, set it in motion without fail in every case! -------------
   Therefore man can neither complain nor need he give thanks; for if he is raised towards the Light it is his own consistency that inevitably causes him to be raised; if he falls into the Darkness, it is again his condition that forces him to do so.
   But every human being has reason to glorify and praise the Creator for the perfection that lies in the working of these three Laws. The human spirit is thereby unreservedly made the absolute master of its own fate! For its true volition, thus the genuine inner condition, must cause it either to rise or to sink. -----
   In every happening, and in all my explanations we always again and again meet clearly and distinctly the effect of these Laws, whose wonderful interaction I must yet describe especially.
   Once man knows this interaction he thus also has the step-ladder to the Luminous Realm of the Spirit, to Paradise. But he then also sees the road that leads to the Darkness.
   He need not even tread these steps himself, but the automatic mechanism raises him on high or drags him down, entirely according to how he adjusts the mechanism for himself through his inner life.
   Which way he wishes to let himself be borne along is always left to his decision. -----------

And “ETERNAL MEDIATOR”!

So: Reader; under the aegis of the Eternal, Primordial Laws, we have The Law of Gravitation, The Law of Homogeneous Species and The Law of Reciprocal Action to begin with.

Whilst we will obviously try to give as much explanatory detail to them as we can, it is also necessary to learn how Islam and Judaism relate to whatever Laws of “Life” they teach in their “religions”!

Not least for perhaps a few “followers” therein who might just gain a better understanding of the true nature and purpose of Perfected “Spiritual Law” from what we are tasked to Proclaim from The Grail Message of Imanuel/Abd-ru-shin!
