Sin

[charlesa6]

Topic: "SIN"

It's nice subjects, I should like to call to your attention the simplicity of enjoying every blessed day.
The false teaching which would have those ignorant enough to blindly believe it, tells the mass pf humanity that the life plane is a "vale of tears," in which the individual "commits" what is called "sin," - which is a natural consequence of living in the objective world of conscious humanity - and "sin" is defined as "evil conduct." But when you pause to reason, as you must if you are to be free from the distress of false teaching, "evil conduct" is NOT a cause of any condition; it is merely an affect of wrong, or evil, thinking. it is the wrong thinking that is the Cause and, therefore, the "sin."

The great master teacher of Nazareth, who was a Jew during His Lifetime, admonished the "fallen woman" of the Scriptures to "go and sin no more," which meant "to stop her wrong or evil thinking." But when man confesses his so-called "sins" he tells about the actions he has performed of an evil nature; while evil actions are merely results of evil thoughts. It has been through such false teachings, over a long period of nearly two thousand years, that has lead to the blind belief in the existence of a "hell" of torture, damnation and so-called atonment for wrong thinking during the earth-plane existence; and the alternatives "heaven" pf bliss for those who may have had family and friends able to pay for prayers and services after their depature, in the foolish belief that such prayers could "save" them from "damnation."


No living being - whether clergyman or other - knows anything whatever about a "hell" or "heaven" after this earth-plane existence. But you KNOW that 'hell" and "heaven" are states of consciousness - and that the wrong- thinking individual is living a veritable "hell" of his own creation; as the right-thinking one is free from fear, worry, lack, loss, limitation, and the other distress of life because of his ability to control his thinking.
The preaching and teaching of religious dogma has long kept ignorant "belivers" in fear and subservience to the will of those who do thinking for them, and as a result, the mass of humanity has experienced all manner of distress. When an individual learns, or discovers, the fact that his ONLY Power is thought-Power, and that he has within himself an innate, inherent intelligewnce which cares for his body and personal affairs perfectly when allowed to do so (in what is called faith). he has discovered "The Wisdom of the ages" for which men have sought htroughout the whole course of Evolution until the present day.


When Men such as Those we know to be Masters have been able to demostrate their developed ability to live serenely in health, peace of mind, achievement and abundance, while the blind believwers have always been ailing, or complaining, troubled about all manner of conditions, unknown for achievement in any direction and forever lacking the necessities of life, Isn't it about time for those who are seeking to KNOW the Truth to begin to think and reason WHY AND HOW?

When you begin you "forget" about any "hell" and "heaven" in the next condition of Being after this earth-plane existence, and turn your attention to controlling your every thought, you shall have BEGUN to control any and every condition of your life and affairs Here Now; and that means the condition of your Being Hereafter, because what you are to Be in the next plane must be commensurate with what you ought to "forget" you God; or that you ought to forego Faith in your own inherent ability to guide and control your thought processes.


When you think of your god you Must exert reason. The God of religion - has been depicted as an aged "Man" of colossal proportions, wearing a long, white beard, and seated on a throne in the far-off "heaven" of the ecclesiastics who know nothing whatever about such a God. They repeat, parrot-like, what they have been taught to teach, and the underlying reason for it all is the Will of the church to continue to exist at the expense of the gullible who are made to be too frightened to dare to resort to reason and think independently, and , as a result, the ignorant have always supported the religious organisations.


The God of the Caucasians is a Caucasian (white) Man; the God of the Ethopians is an Ethopian (Black) Man; the God of the Red man is a Red Indian God who is called the "Grwat Spirit," which comes closer to the Truth than most; the God of the Malay (Brown Man) is a brown Man of numerous Personalities; and the God of the Mongolian is a "Yellow" Man- no two agree as to the colour of the One God.

By the same token the God of the jackass must be a jackass of tremendous proportions and of great power; while the God of the Bull frog must be a Bull frog of hercules strength and loud grunt - because, if none of the races of men would accept the God of their contemporaries, how can it be expected that a jackass or a Bull frog would admit of a human God?

You will discover, one day, if not soon, then perhaps many aeons from now, that God is a Thought, as is every other imagination. It is impossible for you to admit of a God until you have thought, to do so. first the thought; then the God. First the thought; then the misery, or first the thought; then the happiness; or first the thought; then the failure; or First; then the sucess. first the thought; then the poverty; and First the thought; then wealth, or the attainment, or the peace of mind, or the health, or the achievement - because all things in and of your life and affairs MUST be the affect of cause, and the cause is established in a thought.

indeed you have no other Power but Thought-power. And "as a man thinks, in his heart (or seat of emotions) so is he;" and so will he be.

Consider for a moment that if God gives life to the newly-born infant body, and there are several millions of newly-born infant bodies brought into existence every day, God must be the busiest Life-Giver in existence; for God would have to be jumping for china to Mexico, and from India to Agentina, almost every second; which is nonsensical, to say the least; because no individual Thing, or Being, can occupy more than one place at the same time.

On the other hand, if God were the Infinite Ominipresence - interpenetrating all things and beings and places in and of existence WHILE PERMEATING THE WHOLE OF EXISTENCE, at one and the same time, and the Same at every point of His or Its existence, as infinite Law - cause and Effect, or Intelligence - it would be an easy ans sensible matter for every newly-born infant body to inhale the Breath-of-life as its animating Influence and soul; and each newly-born would be, as the ancient masters said of it, and as Paul the apostle identified it, "the temple of the Holy Spirit Which is IN you; Which you have of God," and the Real you, the Spiritual Identity, is its occupant as Soul, in reincarnation.

You are Not a body! You occupy a body; and you have occupied many bodies in previous incarnations. You were Not "born to die; You were born to live; and You have been living a Cycle since you were first evolved. You are forever in Eternity. Your present Cycle is your earth-plane beings; and, like the child in school, it is your duty to improve in knowledge and ability, and deserve promotion and progression, so that evemtually you will be graduated fro the necessity of karma to the statue of godhood which IS your rightful heritage for you to claim when you are developed for that State of Being.

A God is nothing more nor less than One who has attained All Good; and such attainment is but the result of Knowledge, practice, and developed ability. You are potential God - potentially a Master of Self - and as a Master of Self, you become a Master of men and affairs. Few can accept that Truth, because few there are who can comprehend it. But those who cannot seem to understand Truth are those who "run" to a clergyman when they imagine they require spiritual guidance (when all the time "the Kingdom of God IS within you") and spiritual Guidance rises from within, into consciousness, when demanded in thought; those who imagine that they are sick, or dis-eased, "run" to a doctor", who begins by asking them questions about their condition of which they have no knowledge, to try to discover symptoms, and then administer medicines or drugs, when the body actually needs ONLY additional balanced elements which is lacks, and which are obtainable ONLY by consuming the foods of the earth, including herbs.

if I have said these truths before, please forgive me; I AM trying to encourage you to THINK and REASON. Remember: when you allow somebody else, or some group, to do your thinking for you, and tell you what to believe, you are slavwe to those who do your thinking; and a slave invariably reaps exactly what he deserves - NOTHING BUT DISTRESS. But you Are a Creator and potentially a King in your own Kingdom of Mind.

While the daily newspapers and weekly and monthly periodicals print many items, articles and stories, suggestive of the good influence of orthodox religion in the individual's life and affairs, and tell us of the large continuing number of perons who become converted to one or the other of the religious sects, and of the number who "rerturn" to the church after several, or many, years of disassociation, the fact remains that EVERY one of the sects, especially of Christianity, have been "losing" adherents and members steadily, until today most of the religious leaders are almost frantic with conditions; and are spending, or investing, millinos of dollars annually, in newspaper, magazine, radio and television advertising, in the hope of "winning" members. There must be a reasons. And there is a very definite reason!

And quite a few of them engage, and pay, Adverising Agencies to promote and propagandize the Church, without achieving satisfying results. And all the time there would be little need of spending money to win members If the ecclesiastics would but change their programs and teach rthe Truth about The Deity, or Infinite Omnipresence, man's spiritual identity and significance in at-onepment with The infinite omnipresence, the creative nature of thought, and the individual's salvation Here and Now, and Hereafter through the control of Thought.

An ever growing number of sensible men and women are "fed up" and disgusted with the old "hell fire" damnation nonsense which cannot be proved; sick and tired of hearing and reading about "the power of prayer," after so many years of nauseating failure, lack and limitation while "praying" to their God for nearly every conceivably desire.

Quite a few roam Catholic and episcopal priests (curates as well as pastors of parishes), a Number of Ministers, of the methodist, the Baptist, the Presbyterian, the Lutheran, the Reformed Christian, the Evangelical, and two Rabbis of the Jewish faith, as well as Christian Scientists, seventh Day Adventists, Unitarians, Greek Orthodox Catholics, Easter Rite Catholics, and many who had been members of religious Societies, are now, and have been for some time, Theological Scientists who see in this training a wonderful approach to sensible living and successful achievement.
