The Driving Force Behind Events

Other religions have alluded to a Life Force. The old name for this sort of belief is panthiesum, or the belief that God is in everything. The notion of an intelligent Life Force that is everywhere to be found is only a variation of this theme. This force is said to have both life, and is in fact "pure consciousness", and also intelligence. We talked about this force a few postings back. We said the force was like some etherial plasma like substance. The Bible makes the statement, "Life is in the blood". Well, perhaps a different kind of "blood". Of course blood has cells in it and each cell is said to have its own consciousness. There is talk in the Bible about the blood itself calling out to God when it is shed in murder as though the blood itself has conscious awareness. I would like to elaborate on the theme of that other file by saying that when this ectoplasum or whatever comes into the body, perhaps the ectoplasum itself is undifferentiated but when ut unions up with human DNA is forms the unique soul that is ourselves. There is another possability in that since all of the substance is alive and is kind of like that python snake on the Simpsons last night. "We sell pythons by the foot" and you just break a couple feet off from the roll like paper towels. I guess there is a question is does any portion of the plasma have a will where it wants to go or whose DNA it inhabits? When you watch rivers of water run down a concrete driveway you are aware of the fact that the rivers are like "associations" of water. One mass devides and becomes two. As such people speak of life as a "river". Perhaps the Human Spirit is like a river with a seeming will of its own.

We have used the term "Zeitguist", a term I heard on a Martin Luther King movie. It means "spirit of the times" literally, but the Federation translates it as "Cosmic karma" or the karma of major events. If you don't believe in astrology or something like it, just look at the tides of human events. Certain things are "in" at certain times. After the Civil War it was "in" to say you were for the civil rights of Black people, even if you couldn't care less. It was just the spirit of the times. In the 1920's fancying yourself a scientific person was in. A lot of stuff had just been invented and Einstein's theory of relativity was in the public forum and was debated. Also in the twenties they were just discovering the whole DNA thing. What started off as some gee whiz amazment and fascenation with genetic codes and dominent and recessive genes soon degenerated into "racial hygene" otherwise known as eugenics. Thus being a racist who believed in "pruning the race" became in vogue for a while. In the 1960's Civil Rights was in vogue. It's too bad we couldn't have left Larry Elder in the 1960's. "Manifest Destiny" was another of these movements that hit the popular imagination. Whether it's God or astrology or some other "cosmic tide" that's motivating these macro events, it clear that something is doing it.

You people may be interested on things on a smaller scale. "That's fine talking about God but what are individual people responsible for"? This evening I went for secconds on dinner, though the food was such slop tonight I wonder why I bothered. I've lost 32 pounds in the past eleven months, but I suppose I could afford to love a few more. There were a bunch of people ahead of me but finally it was the last person before me being served. There would be no question who the next person to be served would be. That's what I thought. Three people showed up out of nowhere and to my amazement all three were served before me. I say this not because it is usual but because it is unusual. Chuck Smith has spoken of we being judged on our MOTIVES. I do not was going through that woman server's mind when she kept deferring me. I wish we could know the thoughts and intents of others ahead of time and I wish a little meter would appear over their head. And they would be graded on how Christian their attitude was. How close their attitude was to the pureness of Christ. Actually this would be good "Theological feedback". You've heard of bio-feedback haven't you? Well??? Sometimes people are compelled literally to cast moral judgements in the dark. I give you the Dateline case last Saturday night. A husband and wife were married and had a little girl and it was roomered that the husband had sexually molested the little girl. It was investigated but they had no evidence as proof and to this day we don't know his guilt. But it came to pass that the wife, and both of the in-law parents were involved in a plot to murder the son. So now the husband can never defend himself. The question is whether the whole sexual molestation episode figures in the murder and proving it. The Judge said no, it was immiterial. So the jury rendered a guilty verdict without the defendants ever to say, "Yor honor this man is a sexual preditor". The whole motus opperandi is gone and you're just left with the physical evidence, which existed to prove the murder. Of course you know that Jack Nichelson officer in "A Few Good Men" saying "You can't handle the truth". It was just simmering to spill the truth in court but knew if he had any sense he would hold his tongue. I in my personal life have always strived never to opperate on bad or evil motives. But Federation teaching places far more relivance on what you ACTUALLY accomplish rather than what you Intend to accomplish. You kind of wonder about "The Spirit behind Christianity". What is the "driving force" behind it. And I don't think it's love or flower power. I believe the driving force was to extoll the authority of Rome and to stick it to the Jews and to make them into villans and to selectively use Jesus' words to make it appear as though Jesus himself hated his own race. Certain people who have been on my case who are in the Church, I don't even want to speculate what their motives are. If there were some magic device where I could SEE their motives, perhaps as various colors or something- - perhaps I could understand them better or offer them therapy or something. But if the result is Eil then the action that brought it is Evil.

In the news we have Larry Elder getting upset today as someone making the statement, "People who wouldn't vote for O Bama because he is Black would probably not vote democratic anyhow." Larry took offence to this but I don't know why since it's such an obvious truth. There was a caller who talked about people from the KKK sabotaging Tilden's presidential campaign in 1876 wanting to insure that Haise, a Republican got in the White House. I'm a little confused why if the KKK was founded by democrats they'd want a republican in the white house. There is some organization called the Red Shirts whom I intend to look up. Also stated was that all of the southern bigoted Democrats turned Republican after Barry Goldwater lost to Johnson in the 1964 election. This was the turning points for them. This event doesn't help Larry's case because it shows a gravitational pull tword Republicans as the party of biggots. But I like to tune in Larry occasionally just to see what is going on on the other side of the political tracks.

Grandpa Mc Cain was on Meet the Press on Sunday. You know, because of recent events I'm just about to the point of switching my Party affiliation from Republican to democratic. I have to go to the DMV before this year of 2007 is out anyhow and while I'm there I might just as well avail myself of their other services. It was Randi Rhodes who called him grandpa Mc Cain because he would be our oldest first time president if elected. I was completely disappointed with everything that he said on the subject of the Iraq War and on everything else. I am disheartened to learn that he's now in favor of the Bush tax cuts. Romney is worse. He was on Sixty Minutes and he has flip flopped on everything imaginable. I'd never vote for him. I will say this about mormons. They believe overtly that marriage and the family is for eternity and children are your legasy in heaven. The Christians I know also believe this but would never come out and say it because it isn't Biblical. As far as Fred Thompson goes if he got in the race he would be my last choice even among republicans. Thom Hartman has suggested that Mike Bloomburg and Chuck Hagel form some sort of third party ticket. They are desciples of Bush 41 and I guess that means the platform would be against the Iraq War. There's hope there.

John Kennedy made a speech on the subject of secrecy saying that it was a bad thing. The Orion Federation believes what Jesus has preached. What you whisper in the closet today will be shouted from the roof tops tomorrow. I'm sure he had to have gays in mind. (just kidding) The Federation also agrees with that preacher on the Church channel who says that God can "turn a bad event around" and use other people's bad decisions for your ultimate good. Personally there's a big shortage of that in my life but my only response is to say "Amen" to that preacher's words. The Federation likes to snag people in their own words and use people's own thoughts against them kind of like Beneathe the Planet of the Apes. We cannot know all of the bad seeds that evil people have sowed. If we believe the Bible "What you sow you shall surely reap". This verse can only be a cause of joy to good people. Amen.
