NIHIL OBSTAT. Esclaremond, et al. I recommend a re-reading of THE SOLUTION Parts 1,and 2. At the risk of getting into a drawn-out theological tinkle contest which ZAPPER(please God,..ha!)will not permit, I recommend another look at"Bond"for all you hipshooters(including myself)out there.It's a long read,but MELPOMENE's heart and elocution(on this one)is in the right spot.I think. So,a'thoughtful're-reading - slow.IF you're interested in this sort of thing...and you should be.There's only Substance and shadow.This,is:Substance!pilgrims. P.S. I'm not an advocate of orthodox religion.I think it was identified as a potential vehicle and contaminated by Satan into a Business a long,long time ago.But God is Good,and we're made in His Image and likeness;and we've the potentiality.The Tools are all around us;all we need to do,is focus & exercise our Right as a child of our Creator. : “The Solution”

: (from Chapter XIII of the book “Knowledge Without Wisdom”)

: “He who has the gold makes the rules.”
: — The Moneychangers’ Motto

: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you..”
: — Jesus of Nazareth

: All readers must recognize that Jesus of Nazareth never came
: to this planet exclusively to teach Christians the

: Christian faith. Obviously, there was no Christian faith at
: that time. It came later after Jesus had ascended to
: heaven. His teachings were for all people, no matter what
: religion, race or creed. His life-saving message was based
: on the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. This
: simply means that all religions, philosophies and cults are
: able to benefit from the teachings of this Son of God. As
: we discovered in previous chapters [in the book “Knowledge
: Without Wisdom”], political, religious or national
: sovereignty will only perpetuate wars and rumors of wars.
: This chapter will attempt to provide the solutions. I must,
: however, warn in advance that the solutions will be
: effected only at a price and with the sincere cooperation
: of all who dwell on this planet.

: If we as a people of many religions, races and cultures truly
: wish for peace on earth, we must first grasp the undeniable
: concept of relegating our sovereignty to God the Father
: —the Supreme Creator of our vast cosmos — and we as His
: children. It matters not what name we give Him: Supreme
: Being, the Creator of All, First Source and Center,
: Jehovah, Yahweh, Allah, Great Spirit, or any other
: appellation utilized by ancient cults to describe the
: un-describable. The Infinite I AM is just that: I AM that I
: AM. The alpha and the omega. The Infinite One.

: Joshua ben Joseph (Jesus) was incarnated on our planet 2,000
: years ago for all of us. He did so in the full knowledge
: that we are brutal, savage people many of whom put their
: material god of wealth before His God — the Universal
: Father. Nowhere is it written in the gospels of Matthew,
: Mark, Luke and John that in order to receive salvation, a
: mortal must be a member of any particular religion or
: church. Rather, Jesus refers to “the kingdom.”

: Here, then, lies a problem for Christianity. Having adopted
: the Master’s name for their cult, they now labor under the
: embarrassment of not being able reveal to all mortals a
: simple truth: that all are welcome in the Father’s house,
: “the kingdom.”

: All are welcome. Simply knock on the faith door.

: There will be an outcry from parts of the Christian community
: about these statements. But here is the challenge: show
: where it is written anywhere in the gospels that Jesus
: Christ admonished His followers to exclude any mortals of
: other faiths.

: The call in this chapter is for all mortals, no matter what
: religion, color or creed to take another look at this Son
: of Man and Son of God, to dare to espouse the Master’s
: teachings and be born again through His life-giving
: message. The reconnection with the indwelling spirit is the
: only way that we as a planet will survive. “The kingdom of
: God is within you,” our Master said, and it was probably
: the greatest pronouncement of His short life along with,
: “God is a living and loving spirit.”

: How do we all benefit from these teachings of Jesus? That is a
: good question, particularly with secular revolt,
: materialism, and atheistic science in full cry. Let us now
: proceed and discover this potential “Peace on Earth”
: together.

: At Pentecost, our Universe Sovereign, Jesus, left two fallen
: angels on earth. Many believe He did so in order for
: post-twentieth century mortals — we who dwell on this
: planet now — to bring about a situation of absolute despair
: that our attention might focus on His words.

: The era of greed and power lust must be replaced by love and
: brotherhood. The era of the moneychangers must be replaced
: by the right of all to prosper from the sweat of their
: brow. Then, after a day’s work, each individual must have
: the incentive to serve his or her brothers and sisters
: altruistically. The old era must fade away and we must
: usher in a new era based on mutual love and brotherhood
: amongst all inhabitants, no matter what their religion,
: color or creed. The strong must replace their reptilian
: pecking-order natures with compassion for the weak. Every
: man, woman and child must be treated as a son of God, not
: an animal — nor as a machine or number. We must each
: remember the Master’s teaching: “The kingdom of God is
: within you.”

: What does that mean?

: Put simply, each mortal, irrespective of birthright, color, or
: creed, has the same attributes for universe citizenship.
: These attributes are inalienable rights, not given by any
: state, government or church; they are God-given. To enter
: into the kingdom simply means that each individual is
: called to recognize that a fragment of God — the spirit of
: God — is within our minds. And to understand that we are
: called to cooperate with that spirit and to learn and grow
: as children living in a cosmos which is far too vast to
: fathom. The kingdom door of eternal life is open to all.
: Not to any chosen sect or cult, but to everyone. Through
: the inner life of sincere worship and the true desire to
: become like God, we are each able to raise our
: consciousness and become perfected as He is perfect.

: Where do the wealthy and greedy moneychangers fit into this
: scheme of individual consciousness lifting? They do not.
: They have had their day. They must now be relegated to the
: scrap heap of human despair. Being iniquitous, along with
: their cronies and cohorts of all political parties
: globally, they will be forced to step aside as the new era
: of peace is ushered in.

: How will this happen?

: It will happen as the result of each mortal taking up his or
: her individual spiritual power, realizing that each has a
: fragment of the Creator indwelling his or her mind. In
: cooperation with you and that spirit are powerful spiritual
: beings — not the victims you now see in the looking glass.

: But how can one person make a difference?

: Alone, you cannot. A hundred men united and working in unison,
: however, can move a mighty stone. The challenge is to get
: yourself right with God. Then, with the power of the
: spirit, simply say “NO!” to the present system of greed and
: power lust. Without the sheep of human despair, the greedy
: shepherd has no one to control. The moneychangers —the rich
: and powerful — derive their power from your fear. They shun
: the light of the spirit. It blinds their dark souls. Your
: task is to say, “NO MORE.”

: So here we have it, from the perspective of having survived
: the twentieth century. It is a century during which we
: killed more human beings than during the remaining 1,900
: years of the Christian dispensation. Remember that the
: moneychangers neither recognize nor belong to any state.
: They simply worship wealth and power. They are neither
: patriots, zealots, nor worshippers of God. Their god is
: money and power. It is an aphrodisiac to these atheist
: manipulators and their political, banking and business
: cronies. They trade in money and they will finance any
: deal, provided the borrower can meet the interest payments.
: Arms, drugs, and human misery are their stock in trade.
: They know no limits; their power is supreme because they
: have constructed a pecking-order system in which they are
: unassailable. They use philosophy, religion, and ideology
: to manipulate the masses. Their control over all on this
: planet is supreme — but only if you as an individual allow
: it to continue.

: Now we reach the crucial point of this book, the defining
: moment of truth. As we have discovered by uncovering the
: truth of this century’s history [Author’s Note: in previous
: chapters of the book “Knowledge Without Wisdom”], the
: powerful and greedy have been manipulating the masses
: ruthlessly and without respite. Do we paradigm-shift to the
: Jesusonian teachings of love and brotherhood through a
: lifting of spiritual consciousness? Or do we fall into an
: even deeper pit of human despair by accepting the final
: chapter of the Luciferian mindset — the New World Order?

: In order to fully understand the gravity of this decision that
: we will all be called to make, let us take a moment to
: analyze each side of the question.

: On the one hand, we have the age-old moneychangers’ system of
: fractional reserve lending and central bank control. If,
: through desperation, we decide on the adoption of the New
: World Order, what does that mean? The moneychangers put in
: place their three-century plan to totally dominate the
: planet through economic enslavement. If you wish to have a
: glimpse of this insidious plan, read George Orwell’s
: Nineteen Eighty-Four, or rent the video. It is a preview of
: the New World Order. Take another look at the final
: solution that the moneychangers have in mind for the
: masses: a totalitarian international society of automatons.
: Is that what you envisage for yourselves and your children
: and their children?

: If so, prepare to sign up for your “mark of the beast.”
: Ultimately, there will be several versions of this
: universal health card with all of your personal details on
: a micro-chip — even your DNA. Or, it will be a
: microcomputer chip that can be inserted under your skin
: very painlessly. The problem is, it will contain a fatal
: virus that can be activated by a central computer if you
: fail to obey any law. Where did this information come from?
: Just check out the electronic media. Banks and their
: techno-cronies been feeding this information to the masses
: for some time now, just to test the waters.

: Part of the insidious plan is to quiet as many as possible by
: the careful introduction of key words that shepherd the
: masses away from the truth of the NWO plan. Amongst others,
: these words are “conspiracy” and “paranoia.” Both are
: carefully selected by social engineers to put as many as
: possible off guard when these words are invoked. Think
: about it. What is your reaction when you hear either word
: in casual conversation or in seven-second sound bytes? A
: wry smile and disbelief! Which means that you are more than
: likely brainwashed, indoctrinated by too much media
: watching. Do not panic. You are not alone. There are
: billions just like you. Get a grip on reality and see
: things as they really are, not as the spin doctors of the
: sociopaths wish you to see them.

: This New World Order global system will sound appealing, as
: you will be promised utopia. But beware, this utopia will
: be but a facade — a cruel deception to suck you into the
: liberty-promising totalitarian scheme that will, if you
: allow it, dominate the world. It is the Luciferian mindset
: of the moneychangers, the same mortals who have manipulated
: nations, communities, and people for centuries. They
: worship Lucifer. If you do not believe this, get ahold of
: the Illuminati Manifesto, a document that Adam Weishaupt
: authored and Mayer Rothschild sponsored in the 18th
: century.

: World War I was fought to enable the Illuminati to destroy
: czarism in Russia and to transform that country into a
: stronghold of atheistic communism. The differences stirred
: up by agents of the Illuminati between the British and
: German empires were to be used to foment this war. After
: the war ended, communism was to be built up and used to
: destroy other governments and to weaken religions.

: World War II was fomented by using the controversies between
: fascists and political zionists. Let us note here that
: Hitler was financed by the Warburgs, the Rothschilds and
: other internationalist bankers, and that the slaughter of
: the Jews by Hitler didn’t bother the Jewish or other
: internationalist bankers at all. That slaughter was
: “necessary” to create worldwide hatred of the German people
: and bring about war against them. International communism
: was to be built up until it was equal in strength to that
: of the united Christendom. When it reached that point, it
: was to be contained and kept in check until required for
: the final social cataclysm. Roosevelt, Churchill, and
: Stalin put that exact policy into effect, and Truman,
: Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan,
: Bush and Clinton continued it.

: You will quickly see the truth of this hideous deception. The
: father of the moneychangers and all who followed him
: worship the enemy of true liberty and freedom. Pay
: attention now, as we look at the second option in your
: coming decision.

: On the other hand, you will be afforded the opportunity of
: choosing the Jesusonian mindset of love and brotherhood.
: For American citizens and all others who have a
: Constitution enshrined in their political history, this
: should not be difficult. The founding fathers put in place
: a Constitution and Bill of Rights which enshrined the
: teachings of Jesus. This Jesusonian mindset is simply based
: on the life and teachings of Jesus, the matchless life of
: the Son of man and son of God, who incarnated here on earth
: 2,000 years ago.

: To determine how this Jesusonian mindset will work for your
: freedom and liberty, read only the gospels of the New
: Testament, which describe His teachings. They will not fail
: you. Whether you belong to Hinduism (the most ancient
: religion), Judaism, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism,
: Zoroastrianism, Shintoism, Jainism, Christianity, Islam, or
: Sikhism (the most recent religion), you will benefit
: enormously from the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. They
: were meant for all men and women of all ages and all
: religions.

: Based on love and brotherhood, the Fatherhood of God-love and
: the Brotherhood of Man-love, these teachings were provided
: to assist mankind in this century. Ravaged by the
: sophistries and manipulations of the moneychangers, we have
: become disconnected from God. So that we may receive His
: life-giving message of eternal salvation, Jesus provided
: His life’s example for us. If we will only dare to live His
: teachings, we would quickly transcend this present chaos.
: If we would only love one another as He loved us
: —unconditionally, with compassion and forgiveness — we
: would quickly find that those whom we perceive as enemies,
: once understood, may even become our friends.

: The following are a few illustrations of Jesus the man, drawn
: from a sublime source and reproduced in quotes (“...”)
: which are timeless and necessary for our planet’s future if
: we are to survive: Joshua ben Joseph when translated from
: Aramaic to Greek becomes the name “Jesus.” “Jesus enjoyed a
: sublime and wholehearted faith in God. He experienced the
: same ups and downs of mortal existence, but He never
: religiously doubted the certainty of God’s watchcare and
: perfect guidance. His faith was the outgrowth of insight
: born of the activity of the divine presence, His indwelling
: [Spirit]. His faith was neither traditional nor merely
: intellectual; it was wholly personal and purely spiritual.”

: “The human Jesus saw God as being holy, just, and great, as
: well as being true, beautiful and good. All these
: attributes of divinity he focused in his mind as “the will
: of the father in heaven.” Jesus’ God was at one and the
: same time “The Holy One of Israel” and “The living and
: loving Father in Heaven.” The concept of God as a Father
: was not original with Jesus, but He exalted and elevated
: the idea into a sublime experience by achieving a new
: revelation of God and by proclaiming that every mortal
: creature is a child of this Father of love, a son of God.”

: “Jesus did not cling to faith in God as would a struggling
: soul at war with the universe and at death grips with a
: hostile and sinful world; he did not resort to faith merely
: as a consolation in the midst of difficulties or as a
: comfort in threatened despair; faith was not just an
: illusory compensation for the unpleasant realities and
: sorrows of living.”

: During His life’s work, even unto His death, Jesus faced all
: natural, temporal difficulties experienced by all men and
: women with “the tranquillity of supreme and unquestioned
: trust in God.” He felt “the tremendous thrill of living, by
: faith, in the very presence of the heavenly Father.” His
: triumph of faith was a living experience of actual spirit
: attainment. He magnificently and humanely demonstrated a
: new and higher type of living faith in God.

: God became man as a living reality in and through the human
: experience of the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.
: Through Jesus, we discover “a new and higher type of
: religion, religion based on personal spiritual relations
: with the Universal Father and wholly validated by the
: supreme authority of genuine personal experience. This
: living faith of Jesus was more than an intellectual
: reflection, and it was not a mystic meditation.” When Jesus
: prayed to the Father in heaven, he did so without the
: agency of any temporal religion or church. His relationship
: was directly made through the indwelling spirit. This
: example was set by Jesus for our benefit.

: “Theology may fix, formulate, define, and dogmatize faith, but
: in the human life of Jesus faith was personal, living,
: original, spontaneous, and purely spiritual. His faith was
: not reverence for tradition nor a mere intellectual belief
: which He held as a sacred creed, but rather a sublime
: experience and a profound conviction which securely held
: him.”

: From Jesus, we learn that every man and woman is potentially a
: son of God. This personal relationship between the creature
: and the creator is attained by the spiritual experience of
: knowing God and trusting His care — through faith alone. It
: is not attained through temples, churches, or mosques. No
: amount of praying or giving of alms will provide entrance
: to the kingdom. It is only through sincere belief in your
: faith that this is achieved.

: Jesus’ faith was “so real and all-encompassing that it
: absolutely swept away any spiritual doubts and effectively
: destroyed every conflicting desire. Nothing was able to
: tear Him away from the spiritual anchorage of this fervent,
: sublime, and undaunted faith. Even in the face of apparent
: defeat or in the throes of disappointment and threatening
: despair, He calmly stood in the divine presence free from
: fear and fully confident of spiritual invincibility.”

: As a religious genius, Jesus was not fanatical, and was prone
: neither to exaggeration nor religious ego. His spiritual
: exaltation was wholly unconscious, a spontaneous soul
: expression resulting from His personal relationship with
: God. He was not unfavorably affected in His practical life
: by His extraordinary faith and spirit attainment. “The Son
: of Man was a splendidly unified human personality; he was a
: perfectly endowed divine being; he was also magnificently
: co-ordinated as a combined human and divine being
: functioning on earth as a single personality.”

: Virtues were always uppermost in Jesus’ mind. “Personal faith,
: spiritual hope, and moral devotion were always correlated
: in a matchless religious unity of harmonious association
: with the keen realization of the sacredness of all human
: loyalties — personal honor, family love, religious
: obligation, social duty, and economic necessity.”

: “Jesus brought to God, as a man of the realm, the greatest of
: all offerings: the consecration and dedication of His own
: will to the majestic service of doing the divine will...
: When you study the career of the Master, as concerns prayer
: or any other feature of religious life, look not so much
: for what He taught as for what He did. Jesus never prayed
: as a religious duty. To Him prayer was a sincere expression
: of spiritual attitude...”

: Prayer was also a means by which Jesus sought to align His
: will with the Father’s will. He never sought to attain His
: own way, but rather to discern God’s way. “The secret of
: His unparalleled religious life was this consciousness of
: the presence of God; and He attained it by intelligent
: prayer and sincere worship — unbroken communion with God —
: and not by leadings, voices, visions, or extraordinary
: religious practices.”

: Jesus trusted God much as the child trusts the parent. “He had
: a profound confidence in the universe — just such a trust
: as the child has in its parental environment. Jesus’
: wholehearted faith in the fundamental goodness of the
: universe very much resembled the child’s trust in the
: security of its earthly surroundings... He was not
: disturbed seriously by fears, doubts, and skepticism... He
: combined the stalwart and intelligent courage of a
: full-grown man with the sincere and trusting optimism of a
: believing child. His faith grew to such heights of trust
: that it was devoid of fear.”

: “There was no hesitating pretense in His religious experience.
: In this giant intellect of the full-grown man the faith of
: the child reigned supreme in all matters relating to the
: religious consciousness. It is not strange that He once
: said, “Except that you become as a little child, you shall
: not enter the kingdom.” Notwithstanding that Jesus’ faith
: was childlike, it was in no sense childish.”

: “Jesus does not require His disciples to believe in Him but
: rather to believe with Him... Jesus most touchingly
: challenged His followers, not only to believe what He
: believed, but also to believe as He believed.” His one
: supreme requirement was always, “Follow me.”

: “He made robust and manly decisions, courageously faced
: manifold disappointments, resolutely surmounted
: extraordinary difficulties, and unflinchingly confronted
: stern requirements of duty. It required a strong will and
: unfailing confidence to believe what Jesus believed and as
: He believed.”

: “How unfortunate that religion itself [notably, the one that
: bears His name] should be so misinterpreted as to take the
: human Jesus away from struggling mortals! Let not the
: discussions of the humanity or the divinity of Jesus
: obscure the saving truth that Jesus of Nazareth was a
: religious man who, by faith, achieved the knowing and the
: doing of the will of God; He was the most truly religious
: man who has ever lived on [earth].”

: “The time is ripe to witness the figurative resurrection of
: the human Jesus from His burial tomb amidst theological
: traditions and the religious dogmas of [almost twenty]
: centuries.”

: “To “follow Jesus” means to personally share His religious
: faith and to enter into the spirit of the Master’s life of
: unselfish service for man. One of the most important things
: in human living is to find out what Jesus believed, to
: discover His ideals, and to strive for the achievement of
: His exalted life purpose.” There is no point in preaching a
: religion about Jesus. We must all try to live the religion
: of Jesus.

: Jesus progressed from “a purely human consciousness of the
: faith certainties of personal religious experience” and the
: “humble status of mortal dependence.” When a follower
: called Him “Good Teacher,” Jesus asked, “Why do you call me
: good? None is good but God.” Later, when Jesus attained
: sublime consciousness of achieved divinity, He exclaimed,
: “Which one of you convicts me of sin?”

: This “progressive ascent” from “the human to the divine was
: exclusively a mortal achievement. And when he had thus
: attained divinity, He was still the same human Jesus, the
: Son of Man as well as the Son of God... Throughout His
: entire experience [on earth] He was truly both human and
: divine, even as He yet is.”

: “Jesus blessed the poor because they were usually sincere and
: pious; He condemned the rich because they were usually
: wanton and irreligious. He would equally condemn the
: irreligious pauper and commend the consecrated and
: worshipful man of wealth.”

: Jesus looked upon all men and women as the sons of God “and
: foresaw a magnificent and eternal future for those who
: chose survival. He was not a moral skeptic; He viewed all
: positively, not negatively. He saw most men as weak rather
: than wicked, more distraught than depraved. But no matter
: what their status, they were all God’s children and His
: brethren.”

: Jesus taught that each generation should place “a high value
: upon themselves in time and in eternity. Because of this
: high estimate which Jesus placed upon men, He was willing
: to spend Himself in the unremitting service of humankind.
: And it was this infinite worth of the finite that made the
: golden rule a vital factor in His religion. What mortal can
: fail to be uplifted by the extraordinary faith that Jesus
: has in him?”

: “Jesus offered no rules for social advancement: His was a
: religious mission, and religion is an exclusively
: individual experience. The ultimate goal of society’s most
: advanced achievement can never hope to transcend Jesus’
: brotherhood of men based on the recognition of the
: fatherhood of God. The ideal of all social attainment can
: be realized only in the coming of this divine kingdom.”

: And this kingdom of God is at hand.
