From my experience, I believe meditation to be a higher form of prayer and a key to unlocking the energy of the body and the greater powers of the mind. Further, I believe meditation to be the primary gateway for separating the mind, body and spirit as a critical component of spiritual advancement.

Some Simple Lessons

I don’t claim to be an expert in meditation, but during the time I have used it I have learned a few simple lessons that I thought I would share.

1. Get Comfortable – So much of meditation seems to be associated with the ability to relax the body and connect with the inner workings of the mind and spirit. I have found this can best be done when the body is comfortable and at ease. In the beginning stages, sitting with my legs crossed worked just fine. I have found that focusing on relaxing the eyes and jaw are very helpful. A quiet, peaceful location is also very important.

2. Relax Through Breathing – I have found breathing to be extremely important tool in meditation. When used properly, it is very effective in relaxing the body and mind. I have learned as you link breathing to energy flow, you can use breathing to progress into deeper meditation.

3. Discipline Your Thoughts – Generally as I start meditation, the biggest obstacle is to simply quiet my mind. Because of this, I usually reject all thoughts until my mind is still. At that point, I begin to observe the thoughts that come to my mind. I have found it is important to be open-minded, as thoughts of awareness and inspiration don’t always come in the form or go the direction I may expect.

Qi Gong

Qi Gong is an ancient study of meditative practices and body exercises that is used in many Eastern religions and martial arts. Many who have studied Qi Gong teach a form of standing meditation, and even meditation through movements. I have began studying this, and found this to be a much more difficult form of meditation. However, I have begun to glimpse the greater power of connecting the entire body in mediation.

I would invite you to consider using meditation as a tool in your spiritual journey. I really believe that the greater knowledge and powers of the mind, body and spirit are available to us and waiting to be accessed as we seek them through our spiritual journeys.

Note: If any of you are interested in learning more about the breathing, body movements and structure associated with Qi Gong, I have used a video called “Qi Foundations,” produced by Steven Smith that is very helpful. My brother works with Steven and can arrange for you to purchase a copy. His site is www.facebook.com/DefendersofTruth.

As I have mentioned in previous posts, I was raised a member of the Mormon Church and have been a member all of my life until recently. During these years, I have spent significant time studying the Holy Bible, the Book of Mormon and other Mormon scriptures and teachings. Through this, I have learned great truths. I regularly refer to these scriptures for guidance and understanding. Although, many of the Mormon teachings talk about seeking knowledge from the “best books,” Mormons are discouraged somewhat directly and mostly indirectly from studying too extensively the scriptures of other religions or spiritual teachings not part of the Mormon cannon. Because of this, I erroneously came to the mentality that there was one Church that was right and that held all truth, and that all other religions were simply wrong and did not have truth from which I could learn over and above what was provided in Mormon teachings. I do not say this by way of criticism, as almost every religion of which I am aware and many of the members of these religions approach this in a similar way.

Over the last couple of months, I have decided to learn a little more about other religions, their origin and their teachings. What I have come to understand is what I believe is the hope by which religions can unite together in their great purpose in the Two Kingdom Society.

All Truth is Part of One Great Whole

I think it is safe to say that all religions believe that truth when it is fully revealed fits together in one great pattern of consistency and wholeness. As I have studied different religions, I have noticed the difference in the foundation of their beliefs. I have noticed some religions focus more on the nature of God, some on our relationship with God, some on the state of our existence before and after this life, some on our relationship with each other, some on the laws of nature and the cycles of change, some on self-mastery, some on spiritual progression, some on ordinances and so many other different aspects of spirituality. What I have come to believe is that each religion has a divine origin and that those who were inspired to found and lead those religions were given a unique perspective and portion of truth from God. I believe that when these truths come together, we will see that they fit together in a great pattern of consistency and wholeness.

Now I acknowledge that religions can be used for ill purposes and can be corrupted. I am also aware that religions have different views on various topics. However, as I looked at the most prevalent religions in our world, I believe that each one has a unique perspective and portion of the truth necessary to discover the greater truths that I believe God wants us to understand. Many religions believe that God has greater truths to give them. I believe that some of these greater truths have already been revealed and are waiting for our discovery in the scriptures and spiritual teachings of other religions.

The “I Ching”

Let me provide one example. Recently I read the “I Ching,” also known as “The Book of Changes” or “Yi Jing” as pronounced in Chinese. Many claim the eight trigrams, which serve as the foundation for the “I Ching”, were revealed supernaturally as early as 2800 BC. The “I Ching” is like a Holy Bible to many of the Chinese and is written by four of the most honored Chinese Sages—Fu Xi, King Wen, the Duke of Zhou and Confucius. The influence of the “I Ching” has been significant in China and throughout different parts of Asia. Some consider it simply a book of divination, but those who have studied it deeply claim that it reveals many of the great truths of our existence.

You would think we would be aware of and have read a book with this history and purpose. However, I am embarrassed to say that I had not even heard of the “I Ching” until a couple of months ago, when my brother mentioned that he had come across it in his study of the martial art, Bagua.

My experience in reading the “I Ching” was incredible. In my simple study of the material, I found that the book contained an incredible description of the cycles of change and many important truths associated with our existence. I found that many of the principles found in this book confirmed what I had previously learned as truth in my religious study. I also found principles that expanded my understanding of truths I had previously learned. Further, I found principles I had never before considered, which as I read I knew to be true. I came to understand that the “I Ching” provides a prospective and understanding different than any other religious scripture I have read or of which I am aware. I have come to believe that the “I Ching” is an inspired book that provides an essential key for understanding the spiritual and physical laws upon which this existence is based and operates.

Uniting the Religions of the World

I do believe that it is possible for the religions of the world to unite together. I believe this will happen in a day when the leaders of different religions acknowledge the truth and wisdom held in other religions and encourage their members to seek truth from all sources. I know there are differences in beliefs, but I believe they can be put aside in a unity focused on understanding the greater truths and purposes that will be revealed when religions comes together to unite their unique portion of truth with that of other religions. That will be the day when religion takes its proper role in society and appropriately establishes the moral foundation upon which our economic and political systems can operate. That will be a great day!

Note: For those of you interested in reading the “I Ching,” I found “The Complete I Ching” by Taoist Master Alfred Huang to be an excellent and thorough compilation and explanation of the ”I Ching.”

Religion has had a profound impact on the history of our world.  Its role and influence have varied at different times and among different civilizations.  At times it has governed entire societies in theocracy.  At times it has been separate from government and economy and provided the moral foundation of a society.  At times it has inspired peace; at times it has inspired war.  At times it has inspired the creation of great civilizations, and at times it has inspired their destruction.  At times it has inspired freedom, and at times it has wielded great oppression.  At times it has inspired individuals and societies to the greatest achievements of this existence, and at times it has bound individuals and societies in bias and hate.  The nature of the influence of religion throughout history seems to be based on a pattern associated with the proper purpose of religion that I will seek to identify in this treatise.

The intention of this paper is to begin a conversation on and provide an initial definition of the purpose of religion.  For the purposes of this paper, religion can be defined as an organization that embraces a set of spiritual beliefs and practices.  This is often referred to as organized religion. 

According to its very definition, religion entails the recognition of a higher power.  For this treatise, I will refer to this higher power as God.  I recognize that many religions refer to a higher power differently.  For some religions, the higher power is simply a force, a spirit, nature or any of a number of other names and definitions of a power above ourselves.  Please understand that in my references to God in this treatise, it is meant to encapsulate the diverse definitions of higher power used by the different religions.  I mean no disrespect to any religion or their definition of a higher power in my use of the term God.

Spirituality

Spirituality can be defined as the search for happiness and peace through a connection with God (see discussion of a higher power above).  This search includes seeking to understand and achieve our purpose through answering the questions of our existence. Spirituality is like the blood of our bodies.  With it, we are enabled to ascend to our greatest potential.  Without it, we eventually wither and die. 

Spirituality exists independent of religion or any other organization.  Spirituality is ultimately the responsibility of the individual, as each person has a direct connection with God independent of any other factors.  Religion, economy, education and all other aspects of life are but tools that an individual can choose to utilize to facilitate the growth of their spirituality.  The amalgamation of each individual’s spiritual journey is the basis for society. 

The Structure of Society

Society can be defined as the moral, economic, social and legal structure that surrounds communities and the interactions of individuals.  The following is a brief definition of the four pillars of society listed above:

Moral – This pillar represents the laws of the conscience or the spiritual.  Included in this is the understanding of God, our existence and moral principles.  This pillar is most often associated with religion. 

Economic – This pillar represents the economic structure and includes the market, monetary system, division of labor and all other items associated with economic structure and transactions.  The amount of government intervention with this pillar varies from society to society according to the extent to which natural laws are allowed to govern economy. 

Social – This pillar encompasses social responsibility, rights and interactions.  Government, religion, culture and traditions all have significant influence on this pillar. 

Legal – This pillar represents all aspects of creating, interpreting and enforcing laws in society.  This pillar is always associated with government. 

You will notice that neither religion nor government are one of the four pillars of society.  That is because both religion and government are organizations within society that operate within the dictates of the four pillars according to the consent of the individuals within that society.  However, the formation and structure of any society is significantly influenced by the structure of religion and government elected by that society.  The following is a description of two of the most common structures for society.  Some of the philosophies associated with the following were initially written by Martin Luther and expanded by John Calvin and John Locke.  It was they who initially defined Two Kingdoms.  Prior to this, the Roman Catholic Church had a somewhat similar doctrine called Two Swords that may have served as a foundational doctrine for Martin Luther. 

One Kingdom

Any society in which the government legislates and executes laws within all four pillars of society falls under this category.   In essence, these governments dictate and enforce both the spiritual (moral) and physical (economic, social, legal).  One of the most defining attributes of One Kingdom Societies is the legislation and enforcement of laws associated with individual’s beliefs or moral standards that do not violate the rights of another.  Theocracies epitomize this form of government, however, these principles apply to a large extent to governments of many different labels, including those governments who uphold state-sponsored religions.  Societies of this form have been plentiful throughout history and in many instances have played an important role for good.  In contrast, many such societies have been responsible for robbing individuals of their rights and hindering individuals in their spiritual progression.  This is always a lower order of society, as it entails less individual accountability and responsibility than the structure we will discuss next.   

Two Kingdoms

Any society in which the government legislates and executes laws within the physical pillars of society (economic, social, legal) and reserves the rights associated with the spiritual pillar of society (moral) to religion falls under this category.  This is often referred to as a separation of church and state.  This structure of society has been rare throughout history, but is gaining increasing popularity.  The United States of America is perhaps the best example of this structure of society, although even it does not fully embrace these principles.  It is through a deeper understanding of a Two Kingdoms Society that we can best understand the purpose of religion. 

The Two Kingdoms Society operates correctly only when it is organized as a republic.  In this republic, God serves in the judicial branch, religions serve in the legislative branch, and government, business and other non-religious organizations (hereafter referred to as “government and business”) serve in the executive branch.  Religion through its connection with God receives and teaches laws of the conscience or spiritual, which include an understanding of God, our existence and moral principles.  Government and business have the responsibility through their connection with God to confirm these as truth.  Once these principles are confirmed, government and business create the environment within the physical pillars of society that best allow these confirmed truths to operate in the lives of each individual and the society as a whole. 

Finding the delicate balance between the role of religion and the role of government and business is critical to the long-term success of any Two Kingdom Society.  Government and business are not to infringe upon an individual’s freedom of belief or choice, except to the extent that those beliefs or choices violate the unalienable rights of another.   Further, government and business are not to eliminate or hinder religion’s influence through secularism in any of its forms.  As an organization in society, religion obtains its authority in society through the consent of its members.  Religion is entitled to enforce its beliefs and practices among its members by withdrawing membership from those who do not comply with its requirements.  Other than through the influence of its teachings, religion is not to interfere in the physical pillars of society.  Each individual plays a critical role in a Two Kingdom Society as their influence and consent are the power upon which each society rises or falls. 

Some people believe that religion is the world’s connection to God.  Religion is an extremely powerful tool for an individual to learn of and build their connection with God.  However, each individual has their own connection to God independent of religion or any organization.  Thus, business and political leaders can obtain the same access to God as religious leaders in fulfilling their respective responsibilities.  Further, each individual regardless of their position or affiliation can obtain the same access to God in fulfilling the purposes of their life.  This recognition allows us to build and operate societies based on equality recognizing the innate value of each individual.  Further, this recognition allows religion and government and business to both recognize and take their proper roles as one of the Two Kingdoms necessary for the higher order of society.

The Purpose of Religion

Religion plays a critical role in any society and as discussed above is one of the Two Kingdoms necessary for a higher order of society to be realized.  Religion has three primary purposes. 

1.       Establish the Moral Foundation of Society

Religion is responsible for establishing the moral foundation of society by receiving and teaching of God, the purpose of our existence and the moral principles by which we are to live. Nothing can defend a free people against the moral degradation of society. 

2.       Provide a Tool to Increase Spirituality

Religion is to be a tool through which its members can increase their spirituality.  Religions often offer scriptures, teachings, ordinances and other practices that are all part of the tool it provides its members. 

3.       Create a Community

Religion can provide a community by which its members can learn and progress together.  Not all religions choose this course, but many individuals have found great benefit in being part of a religious community from which they can learn from and grow with others. 

Building the Two Kingdom Society

It is essential for the future of our world that religion fulfills its critical purposes in our societies.  This will only occur if the religions of the world unite together.  Because many of us have tender feelings towards our religion and our beliefs, we can become closed-minded to the beauty and diversity of different religions and beliefs.  An even greater risk is that our bias prevents us from recognizing the strength and gifts of each other and God’s plans and purposes that may unfold in ways we do not expect.  I believe it is not one religion, but the religions of the world combined together with government and business that will find the solutions that will bring eventual peace and prosperity for all of us.  How great will be the day when the priest, the politician and the business person are esteemed as callings of equal importance and honor in two different kingdoms.  My hope is that this paper will serve as an invitation to all of us to reconsider our understanding of the purpose of religion and the important role we can each play in working together to find the purpose and peace available through our spiritual journeys.   

Many people believe that one day religious organizations will rule the world under God in some kind of great theocracy.  I would invite you to consider that God has chosen for this world to be governed by Two Kingdoms, each fulfilling their role in a grand republic.  I would further invite you to consider that God expects us to accept the increased accountability and work together to create this Two Kingdom Society.

As I have discussed in this blog, about three years ago I began a journey that has led me to the discovery of the primary purpose of my life.  Through this journey, I found significant opportunities for spiritual growth outside of my religion.  I always felt this path was consistent with my religion and was just an additional channel through which I could continue my spiritual growth.  As leaders of the my church became aware of this spiritual path, they became very concerned as they felt my path was inconsistent with the teachings of the Mormon Church.  Recently these concerns increased, and it became apparent that I was left with a choice between my religion and what I knew to be the primary purpose of my life.  This is a choice I never thought I would have to make. 

As I pondered this decision, I knew I had to better understand the purpose of religion.  If my connection to God was contingent on religion or if religion and spirituality were the same, how could I choose anything above religion?  After significant study and consideration, I have come to the following conclusions.  Each of us has a connection with God that is independent of any organization.  Our spirituality is a personal journey for which each of us has personal accountability.  Religion, education, economy, culture, and other aspects of our life are tools we can utilize to facilitate our spiritual growth.  In this, I do not want to underestimate the importance of religion.  Religion is ultimately responsible to establish the moral foundation of any society and is a critical tool we can utilize in our spiritual growth.  However, our ultimate responsibility to God and to our self is to follow what we discover to be the purposes of our life.  Based on these principles, I made the decision this week to resign my membership in the Mormon Church and to continue to pursue what I know to be the primary purpose of my life. 

Now this being said, I want to express gratitude for the time I have had as a member of the Mormon Church.  In this organization, I have met incredible people who have been great mentors and friends.  Further, I have been taught and led to ask questions that have led me to so many important aspects of my spiritual growth.  Even as the leaders of the Mormon Church have perceived differences between my path and the teachings of the Mormon Church, they have been particularly respectful and kind.  I will miss the association and spiritual strength I have found through the Mormon Church and its members for so many years. 

Martyrdom as a Last Resort

To protect that false reality that he has built over this world through the beast, Satan has created a great matrix of filters and controls that protect the false reality from discovery and attack.  This matrix of filters and controls is extremely complex and well-executed.  The matrix fully utilizes the beasts control and influence of media, government, business organizations, not-for-profit organizations, and intelligence operations.  Further, within these organizations and throughout the world, the beast employs specific individuals to monitor and execute its purposes in concealing and building the matrix of filters and controls.  Ultimately, the matrix is in place to make sure we don’t receive information that would awake us to or enable us to organize any type of effective movement that could challenge the false reality that protects and prospers the purposes of the beast. 

The beast is constantly monitoring individuals and organizations that threaten to expose or break through the matrix of filters and controls.  When an individual or organization becomes a significant threat, the beast determines how to best subdue that threat.  When all else fails, the beast will use assassination.  The beast recognizes the dangers of martyrdom in drawing attention to and strengthening the causes of truth, thus, martyrdom is used as a last resort. 

The beast often manipulates the use of martyrdom creating a false honor and incentive for those who move forward its purposes.  Further, the beast often hides the martyrdom of those who oppose it disguising their deaths as suicides, arbitrary murders, medical incidents or accidents.  Because of the efforts of the beast, so many individuals who have died as martyrs have not been recognized or honored for the great purposes for which their lives were taken. 

To obtain a greater understanding of martyrdom, we must first understand the criteria the beast utilizes in evaluating the assassination of an individual.  The following is a summary of the primary criteria utilized by the beast:

Resources

The resources of an individual are a strong indicator of how quickly and widespread they can propagate their message and how effective they will be at influencing other people with the truths they seek to reveal or prosper.  The beast evaluates positions held, leadership abilities, networks of individuals and organizations, wealth and many other elements that indicate the individual’s ability to effectively break through the matrix.

Medium

The medium of the message is a strong indicator of how effectively and how broadly a message can be disseminated.  For example, music is one of the mediums most feared by the beast, as it has the ability to reach millions of people.  Further, music has the ability to deeply affect and influence an individual’s perspectives and beliefs.  The more powerful the medium used by an individual, the more dangerous that individual is to the beast.

Power of Message

The actual content of the message is evaluated to determine its power in revealing the matrix or inspiring individuals to movements or beliefs that would challenge the matrix.  Those messages that target the most important strategies of the beast or the vulnerabilities of the matrix are considered most dangerous.

Clarity of Position

The clarity of the position of the individual is an important indicator of the risk of assassination.  The more consistent and well-known the message and position of the individual, the more risk there is to the beast that a martyrdom could inspire public awareness and support for the message or purposes prospered by the individual.  In contrast, the beast knows that an individual with mixed messages or inconsistencies is easier to discredit and minimize after an assassination. 

Vulnerability

The beast evaluates the vulnerability of each individual to determine if there is an alternative to assassination in subduing the individual.  The beast determines how easily an individual can be discredited through past or framed events.  Further, the beast evaluates how easily an individual can be controlled or purchased.  So many individuals who started with good intentions are now closely controlled by the beast and manipulated to strengthen the matrix of filters and controls.  Even many who claim to be exposing the efforts of the beast and its organizations are controlled by the beast and put in place to provide a false comfort that important issues are being appropriately discovered and challenged.    

Risk

The beast evaluates the risk of an assassination of the individual.  They first evaluate how easy it will be to conceal.  Further, they evaluate how quickly they can discredit or distract the public from the message or movement prospered by the individual.    

Based on these criteria, the beast determines whether to assassinate an individual or use some other tool to subdue their message and efforts.  To demonstrate how this works, we will discuss a martyrdom that occurred recently—the assassination of Michael Jackson. 

Michael Jackson was a very talented musician with a large fan base.  Further, Michael was extremely talented at inspiring creativity and vision in others.  Many musicians have received much inspiration from Michael.   As Michael grew in popularity, the beast recognized the potential danger he represented to the matrix.  During the early part of his career, they kept Michael under control through his contracts with his record company Sony, through debt and through the manipulation of those who Michael trusted. 

As Michael became aware of these tactics, he began to speak out against the control of the record companies, a key aspect of the matrix of filters and controls held over the music industry.  The beast responded by significant efforts to discredit Michael through accusations of mentally instability and child molestation.  These effectively subdued Michael for many years. 

Prior to his death, Michael broke free from Sony and renewed his efforts to make people aware of the great matrix of filters utilized to control and subdue musicians through record companies.  He further began to exploit certain aspects of the beast’s strategy to suppress the Black Nation.  He also continued to teach peace and unity.  He planned a great tour that included over fifty concerts that would give Michael the opportunity to leave his message with millions of people.  Despite past efforts by the beast, Michael still had an extremely loyal fan base who were greatly influenced by his music.  As the beast evaluated its criteria for martyrdom, it realized that Michael had significant capacity to break through the matrix of filters and expose a powerful message to the world.  Further, because of Michael’s trusting nature and the beast’s control of media, they knew they could effectively hide his assassination and manipulate the public’s understanding of Michael’s purposes and message.  Based on this, the beast contracted the assassination and subdued Michael Jackson once again. 

In one of Michal Jackson’s songs, he sings, “Tell me what has become of my rights.  Am I invisible because you ignore me? Your proclamation promised me free liberty. . . I can’t believe this is the land from which I came. . . All I wanna say is that they don’t really care about us. . . Some things in life they just don’t wanna see, But if Martin Luther was livin’ He wouldn’t let this be. . .  All I wanna say is that they don’t really care about us. ”  His message had such significant ramifications for the music industry, the Black Nation and all of us.  Like many other great musicians who began a similar course, Michael was assassinated to protect the matrix of filters and controls and the false reality of Satan.  John Lennon and Tupac are examples of two other great musicians who were assassinated for similar reasons.  We must awake to an understanding of the great matrix of filters and controls and the false reality it protects.  We can begin by recognizing the martyrs of the past and future and the messages and movements the beast has and will seek to smother.  The assassination of Abraham Lincoln is another example of a martyrdom in which the beast has hidden its dark purposes.  As the world enters this important stage of its existence, the beast will on a much more frequent basis use assassination in its efforts to suppress the truth and bind us in darkness.

The second part of the Marriage Republic is the Execution Republic, which is the focus of this translation.  The Execution Republic is the process by which the laws that are created in the Confirmation Republic are executed.  In this republic, man serves in the judicial branch as the evaluator and interpreter of truth for the execution of the laws he previously authored.  The woman serves in the legislative branch and legislates or leads the execution of the laws she previously confirmed.  Man and woman help each other as equal partners in fulfilling their responsibilities.  God is in the executive branch and executes the results based on the actions performed in the execution of law.  This republic can best be understood by discussing the Fall from the Garden of Eden and Adam and Eve’s subsequent marriage. 

In the Garden of Eden, God gave laws to Adam that he authored and Eve confirmed.  Two of these laws were: 1. To multiply and replenish the earth, and, 2. Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat, but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat for in the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.  As there was no marriage or sexuality in the Garden of Eden, these appeared to be two conflicting commandments. 

As stated above, it is the woman’s authority in the Execution Republic to legislate or lead the execution of laws created in the Confirmation Republic.  In the Garden of Eden, Eve’s authority gave her the responsibility and right to lead the execution of laws.  Through her understanding of the laws, the temptations of Satan and her efforts to discern truth, Eve received the revelation that partaking of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil was the way by which the laws could be fulfilled in truth.  In this particular case, she learned that one law must be broken to fulfill the laws and execute truth.  After Eve partook of the fruit, Adam evaluated Eve’s action as truth and as an equal partner performed the same action as Eve.  God then executed the Fall as the natural result of the actions of Adam and Eve. 

After the Fall, Adam and Eve became aware of their nakedness—the nature of their physical bodies.  Through instruction from God, they learned of marriage and sexuality as the basis upon which they were to understand and unite in the Republic of Marriage.  Before we discuss how this applies within the Execution Republic, we will explain in more detail the nature of marriage and sexuality. 

To understand marriage and sexuality, we must break down the false reality that has been created around us.  To best facilitate this, we must understand the nature of the relationship between men and women in the spiritual existence before we were born.  In the spiritual existence there was no marriage and no sexuality.  All of God’s children existed and worked together, yet we developed special attractions for certain individuals.  We were often attracted to those who were different than us, as we understood these differences increased our power, perspective and happiness.  With these individuals, we grew to love them, to trust them and even at times make commitments with each other.  Under Father and Mother’s tutelage, we saw that man and woman were better together and could become much more than either could become alone.

As part of the Grand Design, we were given marriage and sexuality in the physical existence to expand our knowledge and increase our opportunities for advancement. The purpose of marriage and sexuality is to strengthen the reverence, love and commitment between two individuals and God.  Marriage is a spiritual commitment and sexuality is its most important physical manifestation.  Marriage and sexuality are a manifestation of the Republic of God, which is the Republic of Marriage that allows the unity of body and soul between two individuals and God.  Through marriage and sexuality, they twain become one flesh sealed with equality and separation of keys. 

Marriage is a law authored by man and confirmed by woman.  Thus, in most cultures, the man proposes marriage and the woman accepts, completing the creation of a law consistent with the Confirmation Republic.  In most cultures, the woman leads the preparation and performance of the act of marriage, completing her responsibility to lead the execution of a created law.  Upon performance of the marriage, God seals the man and woman with Them in the Republic of Marriage.

Sexuality is one form of the execution of the law of marriage that was created by husband and wife and sealed by God.  The woman’s authority gives her the right to legislate the execution of this law.  Man is responsible to evaluate the truth of this action.  Together the act is performed.  God grants the result according to the execution of the law, which is often a strengthening of the marriage and the associated commitments.  God also, according to the Grand Design may grant the creation of children. 

Creation again demonstrates the Republic of Marriage.  The man and woman both have a portion of the plan or law.  The sperm of the man symbolizes the authoring of law and the egg of the woman symbolizes her confirmation.  When they are combined, a law is authored.  The law is then executed within the woman and the child grows, develops and is born according to the results provided by God.    

 In all things Father and Mother follow these patterns.  It is important to understand that although man and woman in the different republics may act in different branches, these responsibilities are the extension of their primary key of authority.  For example, when a woman serves in the legislative branch of the Execution Republic, this is an extension of her key of power.  Thus, although man and woman have the ability to act in different branches, everything about the spiritual and physical creation of man and woman has designed them to fulfill their primary responsibility as the holder of their specific key of authority and as a direct complement to and an equal partner with the other.

From Eden comes a great understanding of the great authority and essential role of women as the confirmers and executors of law.  For various reasons according to the wisdom of God, the authority and contributions of women have been veiled.  This has been symbolized by many religious and social customs throughout the world.  Even the very face of God has been veiled, as the authority and contributions of Mother have been hidden as part of this plan.  It is now time for women to be unveiled.   As each man was created in the image of Father, so each woman was created in the image of Mother.  Through these translations, The Higher Law and other records yet to be revealed, the true role of Mother and Father will be revealed to the world that man and woman may have a model by which they can follow in pursuing the great progression and happiness that Father and Mother have achieved together and have designed for each of Their children.

Winston Churchill described this when he said, “To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered the chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents.”

At this decision point, many of us will find that the purpose of our life is inconsistent with what we have perceived to be the realities of our world.  In those moments, we all have the opportunity to look past the false reality in which we live and awake to the truths that are presented to us.  To pursue our path to the purpose of our life always carries a cost.  For some this will cost their wealth, for some their families, for some their friends and associates, for some their reputation, for some their career, for some their very lives, and for some it will cost all of these.  In these moments, we have a choice—we either awake to truth and pursue our path or we go back to sleep and try to forget what we knew to be right. 

For those who are or who will become aware of my situation, please know that I made my decision with a clear understanding of the cost and while awake to the truths of my life.  I pray to God that someday through Their grace, I will have power to make it right with those who have been hurt from the wake of this decision.

Before we were born, we lived as spirits in the presence of Father and Mother, who together are God.  In their presence we progressed and prepared for the time when we would enter a physical existence and obtain our physical bodies.  In essence, a physical existence was to be created in the midst of a spiritual existence that would allow us the opportunity to progress through the connection and integration of the spiritual to the physical.  In preparation for the physical existence, we all worked together to create a Grand Design by which God’s purposes for our progression could be accomplished in both the spiritual and physical existences.  As part of this Grand Design, each of us received individual purposes, gifts and responsibilities designed specifically for our advancement and for the advancement of the creations as a whole. 

Two advanced spirits were chosen to be the first man and woman in the physical existence and were called Adam and Eve.  As part of their calling, they contributed significantly in the physical creation and served in the executive role of godhood for this assignment.  Thus, Adam and Eve are gods and are the father and mother of us all, as it relates to our physical creation. 

 Adam and Eve were given by God specific and separate authorities for the physical existence.  They were also given keys for these authorities that they were to administer during their time in the physical existence and afterwards from the spiritual existence.  The authority held and administered by Adam and Eve is given to all men and women by nature of their physical birth.  Thus, all women receive the authority of Eve and all men receive the authority of Adam. 

To understand the nature of Adam and Eve’s authority, we must refer to the republic model.  The republic model is the eternal form of creation and government.  In this model, responsibilities are separated between three branches: judicial, legislative and executive.  Each branch has specific responsibilities and holds a specific key.  The judicial branch is responsible to evaluate and interpret law according to truth and holds the sealing key.  The legislative branch is responsible to design and author law and holds the authority key.  The executive branch is responsible to confirm and execute law and holds the power key.  The judicial branch is static, whereas the legislative and executive branches are active. 

The Republic of Marriage defines the authority of Adam and Eve and is represented by a three-sided pyramid (tetrahedron).  This tetrahedron is made up of five components—four smaller tetrahedrons and one octahedron.  Three of the smaller tetrahedrons represent God, woman and man and are the foundation of the Republic of Marriage.  The octahedron and the fourth tetrahedron will be defined in later translations. The Republic of Marriage includes three republics that demonstrate each of the primary functions of marriage—legislation, confirmation and execution. 

In this first translation, we will address the Confirmation Republic.  In this republic, God serves in the judicial branch and is the protector of truth.  Man serves in the legislative branch and is responsible for the design and authoring of law.  Woman serves in the executive branch and is responsible for the confirmation of law.  Both man and women seek to fulfill their responsibilities according to truth.  Only when a law has been designed and authored by man and confirmed by the woman is it valid.  In these responsibilities, man and woman work together as equal partners with both man and woman helping each other while respecting the distinct and separate nature of their roles and keys.  These concepts will be better explained as we discuss the physical creation of Adam and Eve and the gift of language. 

According to the Grand Design, one of the first tasks to be completed in the Garden of Eden was the receiving and giving of language.  God desired to give their creations a higher order of language, a pure language called the Adamic Language.  This language allowed a greater knowledge, a greater  order of society and a more unified world.  However, this language could only be received and given in its fullness when the key of authority and the key of power were sealed together properly in marriage.  As marriage could not be sealed in the Garden of Eden due to the state of the creation, God designed a different way by which they could give their children and other creations the higher order of language.  God created Adam first and gave him both the key of authority and the key of power.  As the key of authority and power were sealed together in Adam, he was able to receive from God and give to the animals and the other creations the higher order of language.  After this task was completed, God immediately created Eve and gave her the key of power temporarily held by Adam.  Thus, man and woman were created as equals, each holding separate and distinct authorities and keys.

The Adamic Language was taught by Adam and Eve to their children.  Through this language, they obtained great knowledge and created many great societies.  After the death of Adam and Eve, they administered the keys God had given them from the spiritual existence.  Although many of God’s children did not obey all of the laws God had given, marriage was maintained in its proper order as the foundation of society.  As the Republic of Marriage was honored, Adam and Eve allowed their keys to be sealed in the physical existence, and thus allowed the Adamic Language to remain on the Earth. 

After the great flood, there began the formation of a great civilization that included many of God’s children.  As part of the formation of this society, a large group of men designed a plan to obtain greater power for themselves by removing the woman’s key of power.  They had been taught and it was common knowledge among them that breaking the Republic of Marriage would cause a confounding of language, a scattering of society and a loss of the greater knowledge God had given them.  The plan designed by these men sought to preserve their language and knowledge by constructing a great tower of wisdom.  Every aspect of this tower including its location, design, construction and contents reflected the greater knowledge given to God’s children through the Adamic Language.  The Great Pyramid was built as an attempt to duplicate this tower of wisdom.  Convinced they had replaced the Adamic Language and its associated knowledge and power, they systematically restructured society to remove the woman’s key of power.  They first changed the image of God from that of a marriage to that of a man.  Next, they began to diminish the role of women in society and marriage.  Through this the authority of the woman was rejected and the Marriage Republic was broken. 

When Eve saw that man had rejected her authority, she withdrew the key of her authority according to the order of truth.  Once Eve’s key was withdrawn, the Adamic Language could no longer remain on the Earth.  The language was confounded and this creation was given a lower order of law. 

The knowledge of the authority of women has been taken from this world and hidden behind a false reality the adversary has built.  It is time for the authority of woman to again be revealed that man and woman may rise up together in the proper order of marriage.  Only then can this world prepare for the greater knowledge that God desires to restore to this Earth.  Only then can we really understand our true nature, the nature of God and the intricacies of the Grand Design created for our eternal progression.

As we walked up to the rock, I prayed to ask the purpose of our stop there.  I was told we were there to find a specific stone.  When I looked down, my eyes were immediately drawn to the stone shown below.  I didn’t know what it was; I just knew it was significant.

The Mantle of Authority of Women

As we were standing in this place, we received instruction regarding this.  We were taught that the purpose of this stone was to assist us in what was one of the most important purposes of The Higher Law—“To help the women of the world rise out of their bondage and take their proper role in the order of this world.”  We were told of the greatness of the enemy that stood in the way of this and the power of the false reality it had built.   We were also taught the greatness of this task and how many people would contribute their hearts and minds to accomplishing this. 

Two days later, as I was studying the stone, I was told that it was called, “The Mantle of Authority of Women,” and that I was to translate it as it would provide the foundational knowledge necessary for this aspect of the movement to commence.  I was also told it would provide context for characters yet to be translated in The Higher Law.  I was given the name of the twelve characters and am currently working on this translation.  I will publish it on the blog as soon as the translation is complete.  I believe it to be the most significant revelation that has been given to date for this movement.

Sattelite Communication and Observation

Satan through the beast seeks control over all aspects of our life.  His strategy is to create a totalitarian government, governed by his chosen elite.  This translation will define a significant component of his plan to obtain this control. 

The Beast

According to prophecy, the beast will build an image and seek to entice the world to receive its mark, name, and number.  Through this, Satan will build the great kingdom he has designed for this world. 

The Image of the Beast

The image of the beast is a great city that Satan will build through the beast on the American continent.  This city will be built on and embrace the philosophies of Satan.  The beast will seek for the world to worship this image by embracing and prospering the philosophies and fame of this city.  Worship of the image will require those who choose this to sacrifice their agency in exchange for the promises given by the beast.  At different times, Satan through the beast will gather great multitudes of his followers to this city as part of his plans to wage war against the great organizations and cities that God will inspire. 

The Mark of the Beast

The mark of the beast will be a progression of electronic devices to be implanted in the body.  These electronic devices will begin with basic functionality including tracking of position, financial information, medical information, and other such data.  However, over time these electronic devices will progressively violate the liberties of and increase the power of the beast over the individuals who receive it.  The final progression will entail an individual’s choice to give up their agency and fully commit to the commandments of Satan.

The Name of the Beast

The name of the beast is Illuminati.  As time progresses, more and more individuals will be invited to take upon them this name or its variants and receive its power.  There is a much deeper understanding associated with this name and the process by which it is taken that will be revealed in future translations. 

The Number of the Beast

The number of the beast is 666.  This number defines the organizational structure of the beast as represented by a shape.  This structure is a false imitation of the true republic model designed by God.  Because of the craft of Satan in his imitation of God’s model, discerning the number of the beast will be difficult.  This organizational structure will be described in greater detail in future translations.

Indoctrination

To accomplish his purposes, Satan must convince us to sacrifice our liberties for security.  He plans to do this through a complex strategy of mind control that destroys our passions, weakens our self-reliance and inspires fear.  In this process, he systematically indoctrinates our minds to remove our connection to the knowledge, people and organizations that inspire us to maintain our liberties and rights.    

Fear, pride and envy are the underlying power and character of Satan and are the dragon that gives power to the beast.  Fear in particular is so powerful in manipulating and deceiving us.  Satan uses this power to indoctrinate and control our minds to prepare us to worship the image of the beast and receive its mark.    

Satan’s indoctrination in simplified terms consists of a three-step process through which he corrupts our knowledge and relationships one principle at a time.  To better understand this process, this translation will include an explanation of how this applies to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States of America (“9/11 Terrorist Attacks”). 

Changing the Paradigm

Satan seeks to overcome the paradigms of knowledge that have been established in our minds.  His most effective tool for doing this is traumatic events.  Examples of events are terrorist attacks, pandemics, gang violence, kidnappings, natural disasters and wars.  Through these events, most of which are instigated by the beast, Satan causes us to reevaluate the knowledge we have regarding the truths of our existence and the future of our world. 

The 9/11 Terrorist Attacks were executed by the beast for this very purpose.  Through this event, Satan inspired so much fear, brought into question many paradigms of knowledge held by individuals throughout the world and obtained support for many of his key objectives, including the instigation of wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.  To understand this process, we will focus on just one of these paradigms, which is the understanding of many that the Western World is safe from terrorist attacks.  This understanding was immediately brought into question on the day of the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks.

Reprogramming the Mind

Once Satan has sufficiently challenged an existing paradigm in our minds, he seeks to reprogram our minds to modify the paradigm according to his desires.  This is most often accomplished through an onslaught of media and propaganda.  The new paradigm is communicated over and over again using different methods until the mind is sufficiently indoctrinated regarding the new paradigm.  

Subsequent to the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks, it was continually communicated by media that the world had changed and was no longer safe from terrorist organizations.  It was further communicated that in order to provide safety, we must change the laws to give government more power to fight the enemy and secure our nations.

Unifying Around an Objective

Satan’s final step in indoctrination is to unify the people around a common cause.  This seals the indoctrination and gives people purpose and unity associated with the new paradigm.  This is most often accomplished through media.  Conflict and war are also tools often used by the beast in this step. 

In response to the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks, Satan used the media to unify the world in a war against Al Qaeda, a terrorist organization created by the beast.  These efforts and the ensuing conflicts solidified the new paradigm established by the beast.  Through this indoctrination, Satan persuaded individuals throughout the world to give up their freedoms for increased security. 

Satellites & Electronic Devices

Satan through the beast is executing a strategy that allows the constant monitoring of individuals in all nations.  His current strategy primarily consists of doing this through satellite tracking of communication devices.  The beast has progressed so far in this objective and through its own efforts, the governments of various countries and the United Nations has obtained a great ability to view almost all locations throughout the world and track and monitor almost all communication devices.  Further, the beast is diligently seeking to increase tracking devices in automobiles, identification cards, and credit cards, and so many other devices.  The beast now has the ability to closely observe almost all individuals and organizations identified as potential threats to its progress. 

Currently the beast is working to convince the world of the need to implant electronic devices in each individual.  These electronic devices claim to offer individuals convenience and security.  The media will continue to promote the advantages of these electronic devices, and events will be created by the beast to indoctrinate the world that only those who have these electronic devices are truly safe.  We must be so careful in this area, as these electronic chips are the initial part of the progression of electronic devices that is the mark of the beast.  The surveillance powers of the beast through these chips threaten many of our liberties and rights.  Eventually, these electronic devices will serve as one of the most powerful tools of the beast to thwart rebellions or ostracize individuals unwilling to support its purposes.     

Benjamin Franklin once said, “People willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both.  If we restrict liberty to attain security we will lose them both.  Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.”  Yet the very nation which he helped found along with many other countries throughout the world continue to give up their liberties to gain security.  The beast is continually increasing its power and preparing the world to worship its image and receive its mark.  Only those willing to do whatever is necessary to hold to their liberties and defend their freedoms will have power to overcome the beast.  It has been said of Benjamin Franklin that, “He seized lightning from Heaven and the scepter from tyrants.”  This is the promise to those who will choose agency again, as they did once before in the great battle that occurred before this physical existence.  All others will be overcome by the beast and lose their agency to Satan.
