by Michael Salla another work on US/ET Relations . American negotiations with ET visitors in 1954 were pre-empted by David Rockefeller (who established Annunaki Foundations and charities pushing for genocide and slavery) who led negotiations in a spirit of duplicity and double-dealing in the talks surrounding the Grenada Treaty (and later, the Tao-Nine Treaty), which President Eisenhower signed with ETs at Muroc Air field in May 1954.

I personally remember two books from the 1960s, None Dare Call It Treason, and None Dare Call It Conspiracy, that outlined a Globalist strategy; and very few Americans could bring themselves, at that time, to see the truth of these matters.

There is a power, a force behind the group of men organizing and redirecting change. It's an interdimensional reality. And just LOOKING AT its products, one realizes its origin. These ETs and their ideas are the Annunaki's, returning their attention toward our planet since around 1975; although their Mystery Religions' and "New Age" adherents have been here all along.

IN-GATHERING.--Regular staples are on hand in the kitchen larder and cooler, but that the Community shares in in-gathering seasonally out of our church farm, "glebe."

Grains for Bread.--Grains are seeded together and harvested as a community outing, with at least a third of the village participating during the harvest. Only about 85% of the harvest is brought in, to leave sustenance for animals and the poor for gleaning.

IN USE--In the larder a helper will have set grain seeds sprouting, rinsed every six hours for 36 hours, and these will now be ground up, formed into loaves with a little honey and oil and put to bake in a slow oven until they "jell."

Dairy milk.-—If there are cows on the property or dairy milk is available for trade, mix it—-all clean kinds-—together [to minimize allergies] in sterile vessels. Separate the whey for children’s beverages, and with the curds make cheese.

Soy Products.--[Local berm-harvested] Soybeans must form the basis of the village’s food supply and must be cultivated crop-after-crop in secure organic greenhouses at all times and in all seasons. Non-dairy milk, tofu and shoyu must always be available for cooking, so the kitchen will supervise and maintain adequate supplies of soybeans at all times and in all seasons, to feed all the people who come to the village for any purpose. Dry soybeans are easily stored in dry containers; but the young and tender green [edamame] varieties must be growing fresh. The kitchen should set up a place where regular processing of soymilk, tofu and shoyu products is carried out hygienically and on schedule.

Greens.--In greenhouses there should always be fresh sprouts, green leafy vegetables and a supply of stored tubers and roots brought in from perma-fields. The Cook should figure 1 cup of greens, 1 cup tubers per person, per day, with olive oil and garlic, tomato or cheese as accompaniments. Animal will forage on whole hay, berm grass and bean vines.

Dried Beans.-—If there were bones from the previous shabbos, these should be cooked down with beans and roots (garlic/onions/ginger) and salt and/or kelp; or cooked and mashed with olive oil and lemon.

Tubers, Squash and Tomatoes-—IN-Gathered daily. Every household shows up at the perma-fields or greenhouses and selects, digs and washes the family’s daily portions of vegetables. These are brought to the kitchen before noon, so no laborer ever has to harvest our fields while members stand by and watch. What is not selected serves as bird food, a tithe to the poor, and/or fertilizer.

COOKING IN SHIFTS

Whenever products of community artisans are sold, those responsible for the sale must not dare to practice any fraud. The evil of avarice must have no part in establishing price, which should always be the same as people outside the community, "so that in all things God may be glorified" (1 Pet. 4:11). Community products should be priced "at market value," so as not to alarm or disarm local merchants, and their value must lie in quality, not in cheap-ness.

Let members always remember Ananias and Sapphira, who incurred physical death (Acts 5:1-11) by trying to keep profits to themselves they had committed to the community.

The first among leaders of a community is the Prophet [also spelled "Profit"]. Some of the duties of the Prophet are to—

• Develop capital for the community by serving as Ambassador to other faith-based communities, localities and jurisdictions.


• Conclude all meetings and gatherings by summarizing the positive effects obtained and pointing forward to goals and objectives further down the pike.


• Serve as Master of Ceremonies for the Miracle Show--the One who invokes Manifestation of the Will of God that all people should thrive by sharing what they have and receive what they hope for;


• Act as Judge when conflicts arise in which the Facilitator is unable to effect a resolution out of problem-stating and effect-understanding processes.


• Finally, from the ranks of the gyrovagues who eschew all preferences, those that will achieve the role of Leader will be those for whom the love of God calls them to peace—not to war, not to sectarianism.

Leaders have certain observable characteristics that lead one to believe they have "transcended" their own preferences.

• They don’t give a hoot what they put on to wear. … So they are granted a standard dress code so everyone will know—on sight—who they are—all black in the winter, black with white in spring and fall; all white in summer.


• They do not cut their hair or shave; but they are immaculately clean and manicured, vibrant and physically fit. They wear no jewelry, no big belly and no head covering, as signs that they have no attachments except what they hear from God.


• Chaste and unmarried, they sleep with other gyrovagues in "dorm" style, down the hall from the chapel. They also serve as Keeper of the Chapel.


• If during their tenure, they take on a loving relationship, they step down to Anchorite role for seven years or until death do they then part.


• If they are charismatic and attract large numbers of the opposite sex, they step down to Anchorite role until they become too old and ugly for that problem to occur.


• Due to the fact they don’t care what they eat or whether they eat and they are more "in their heads" than in touch with their bodies, they are expected to frequent the Vegan Dining Room five days a week and the Omni Dining Room only on the two-day [Jewish/Christian] sabbath. This practice assures their continued good health while they serve God as Leader.

Community "rankings."

Having authority is always relative. In a community one’s rank is associated with the date of entry into the community, the virtue of one’s life, and the decision to stay and fit in. Thus, when a member seeks responsibilities, privileges, and authority to decide, it is their relative dates of entry that will decide tenure. It is their reputation that will decide virtue, and it is their willingness to take on obligations that will determine how well they are fitting in. These factors make election to problem-solving committees or future-search committees simpler than a system of rankings that is based only on "popularity" or on perceived role-advantages they may have held at some other time or place in the past.

Absolutely nowhere shall age automatically determine rank. Remember, Samuel and Daniel were still boys when they judged their elders (1 Sam 3; Dan. 13:44-62). So the purpose and effect of rank in the community is not the suppression of the person; it is designed to free people from their past castes, roles and demands, and provide them with a way to achieve equality, humility and self.

Younger members then must respect their elders, and the elders must love their juniors. Wherever members meet, the junior asks the elder for a blessing. When older members come by, the younger ones rise and offer them a seat, and do not presume to sit down unless the older bids them. In this way, they do what the words of Scripture say, "They should each try to be the first to show respect for the other" (Rom. 12:10).

In meeting and at table, the young are kept in rank and under discipline. Outside or anywhere else, they should be supervised and controlled until they are old enough to be responsible.

Election of a Leader and a Facilitator

Leader and Facilitator are complementary roles. The former directs out of knowledge and the latter listens out of open-ness. These skills are nearly mutually exclusive, and this is why Governance needs a Third Hand, a conductor between doing and listening, usually a small voice, a woman or a child of great clarity. This is why your children need to be in your meetings with you because they know when the time to act is come, just as the women DO. Men seem to tend to put off deciding until it’s too late. If your community can adapt to these realities, you will prosper.

In choosing the Leader and the Facilitator, the guiding principle should always be that the ones placed in these offices must either be elected by the whole community unanimously [by consensus] out of reverence for God. Or if that is not possible, they should be selected by the tiny part (2%) of the community that is considered most "wise," that is 2 or 3 "elders."

"Goodness of Life" and "wisdom in teaching" are the criteria by which both "overseers" are chosen, not tenure, not popularity, not cleverness, not power, not even "well spoken." After all, Moses was not well-spoken, and neither were the disciples. That is a skill that comes later. Rather, "heart" is everything.

Perhaps God may permit a whole community to conspire and elect leaders who indulge evil ways. But if He does so, it is for the Lesson that says, "What goes around, comes around." And when the conspiracy is exhausted, the house is broken and the people are scattered, let the remnants who honor God and Law and Peace, return to governance and return to the criterion that Leaders should excel in "goodness of life" and "wisdom in teaching" over all other values. Let them aspire to being loved rather than being feared.

While in office, since a Leader will tend to act without information and Facilitators will never know what to DO with information, there will be plenty for them to talk about constantly. Yet, remember that, by rubbing too hard one may break a rusty vessel; therefore, to keep penalties light shows mercy. It is better to lose one [or some] member[s] than alienate all of them. Relationships ARE what is Holy in community, because you either accomplish goals or not, by relationship.

But let them remind the women and children that a community that drives its leaders out of office by complaints and harassment doesn’t survive very long either. And so it must be that the time for complaints and problems must be shortened and controlled by having everything written down before it is spoken. And by this process, your Leaders show they respect their own offices, and they love themselves as they love the Community.

Danger signs in Leaders: excitable, anxious, extreme, obstinate, jealous, obsessive or even mildly suspicious. If these traits show up, send your Leader on a sabbatical and elect a new one before he [or she] returns. What to expect in a good leader is that the strong will have something to yearn for and the weak nothing to run from.

Leaders keeping this rule in every matter, will hear from God and from their charges, "I tell you solemnly, God will put this one in charge of greater things" (Matt. 24:47). And so it is.

SELF-FINANCING A NEW COMMUNITY

STEP1. Establish Promise Agreements for Labor and begin Sharing Love with each other, referred to previously.

STEP 2. LEGAL MANDATES --Collateral and Group Organization--

Once you have a group of people who are doing favors for each other, what happens is that somebody needs money, and nobody has the money to help out.

What you're going to do next is set up Community Entity (a Role or Job that can rotate) whose Mission is to establish the Credit Rating of the Group, to further the purposes of the Neighborhood, whether that becomes :

• Purchasing Together,
• Maintaining Common Grounds, or
• Managing some Business Ventures together

Naturally, we begin with the assumption that Nobody has much MONEY. But as any pawn broker will tell you, the things that people HAVE comprise Collateral that can be held as security for Loans.

This is to say that, people in the community who are willing to allow their Objects of Value to be held or sold as COLLATERAL for the whole Community, then become Recipients of loans which the Community is able to secure in its Name--

IF NOT from banks at this time, at least at favorable rates from local pawn brokers.

Not only does the Neighborhood now have an opportunity to swap Promises and Favors, everybody can now Empty Themselves of all their Excess Stuff so it becomes the very Collateral from which the Community finances all its Ventures, both Individual loans and Group Projects.

EXAMPLES ~*~ Stamp collections, and collections of all kinds. Jewelry that nobody wears. Extra cars and car parts; extra tools; guns; old cameras, bric a brac, boat anchors and white elephants.

The person in charge of Collateral must have an archetypical personality that one would call a Manager, a promoter, a wheeler-dealer. Yet their Honesty must be unimpeachable.

ASSESSING COLLATERAL

All collateral should be kept because it is small and can be liquidated quickly, or it must be traded for something that IS SMALL and CAN be liquidated quickly.

To keep this Manager HONEST, the deal they get is this:

• Whatever they sell they put the money in the Community Account Box.

• If the Manager steals money, then Everybody loses their money.

• If the Manager is honest and all Collateral can be accounted for; then after four years, the Manager retires that position and the Community builds him or her a new home in the Community.

• If it is found after the Manager leaves that something was actually missing, then the new House itself becomes collateral for the Community, and the corrupted Manager must leave it.

ACCOUNTS CONTAINING MONEY AND VALUABLES

Anything which people lawfully obtain can be brought to the Manager for scrutiny as potential Collateral for future Credit.

What actually tends to happen is that the person deemed Manager teaches everyone in the Neighborhood, very quickly, what comprises good Collateral and what doesn't.

The outcome of that is, when someone in the Community acquires an inheritance, a gift they're not really thrilled with, or make a super trade that they can't utilize themselves, guess where they go?

Thus, you can see this Position generates a great deal of focused Value in the Community.

WHERE ARE MONEY AND VALUABLES KEPT?

Bank safety deposit boxes are no longer safe; they are accessible by others, at will. Thus, all small items (rings, gold or silver coins, estate jewelry, stock portfolios, deeds, lines of credit) must be inventoried, assayed, labeled and hidden.

What is true is that, if you look at the level of debt associated with Banking these days, and the practice of utilizing gasoline and oil revenues as the Main prop for American currency, it's probably not a good idea to depend on the FDIC to protect your money, in any case. The small amount of interest that is generated is not worth the risk of losing everything.

So, just keep utilizing your local Pawn Broker for loans until Banks turn over a new honest leaf; and don't hold your breath until that occurs.

Your group may want to quickly set up your own Pawn Shop or Credit Union; so, now your neighborhood needs to think about organizing itself to conduct business on behalf of its Neighbors.

For that step, you will need an attorney who can discuss with the members of your Group the kinds of legal organizations which might be suitable for you. Arriving at such a decision is beyond the scope of this monograph. However, just remember a 501(c)(3) organization is expected to keep such detailed books, that a professional accountant must be engaged.

Swapping clubs--books, tools, furnishings.

The simple fact is, once you start making and keep Promises with your friends, you will discover what they have and what they are Lacking. It just comes Naturally. So, what makes sense for the Next Step in Community Building is to Organize what the Community HAS IN EXCESS OVER true NEEDS.

This also serves the purpose of making sure Everyone else has ACCESS to Essentials, under the Promise System.

EXAMPLES ~*~ Let's say I'm an auto mechanic, and I have most of the tools I need most of the time. You are a single lady, and you don't know a box-end wrench from an adjustable one. And John over here sells widgets, and happens to have 16 cases of screwdrivers that he found in his garage.

HOW DO YOU ORGANIZE THIS, TO BENEFIT EVERYBODY?

Simple. Make a list and pass it around. ESSENTIAL TOOLS that you can't lend out don't need to be written down; ESSENTIAL and EXTRA tools that can be loaned On A Promise; and EXTRA tools that can be given away freely or stocked in a Tool Library.

Once the Community Tools List is made up, everybody knows what is Present and what is Lacking. It's Good to do a new Inventory each year, preferably in Autumn. This is because Men like to receive Tools as wintertime Gifts from their Women.

This same Technique can be utilized for Books, Garden Equipment, Storage Equipment, Children's Books and Whole Toys, Community Kitchen Equipment, Household items, as well as for accumulating Surplus Items for Refurbishing and Sale at a Gathering later on.

WHAT ADVANTAGES ACCRUE?

What occurs in Suburbia is that Each Person must pay to set up an entire workshop, who does any hand- or craftwork must occupy a house large enough to STORE it all, must keep track of it ALL. This is a waste of Family Resources.

Rather, if all Essential Tools are in fact available for checking out, FREE, as required from a neighborhood Source, the natural outcome of Community resource planning is that Everyone doesn't need to buy Everything.

The costs of Community Resource Planning are two: Secure Space for Stuff and Supervision during "Business" Hours. Secure Space means someone's garage or tool shed with a lock on it. Supervision during Business Hours means the Supervisor should have an independent source of income so s/he can hang around most of the time, keep order and keep track.

In the process of securing Neighborhood Tools, what happens is that Space is created to handle other FREE Neighborhood Functions.

Buying cooperatives--food, fuel, fabrics.

One of the best-kept secrets of modern marketing is that Buying In Lots Is Cheap. What Stores try to do is to second-guess people's Wants, and Charge For It.

Now that your Neighborhood has a Place to store Tools, Equipment, and Books; it's a simple, natural Step to begin Group Purchasing of Essentials Staples. The fact is: Every human needs the SAME ESSENTIALS.

Let's list what Human Essentials consist of:

• Clean air--Forest and Land Management
• Clean water--Drain-off Management
• Waste Management--Recycling, Refurbishing
• Infectious Disease Management--Sanitation
• Seasonal Crops--grains, nuts, produce, fruits
• Continuous Fragile Staples--milk, soy products, bread, greens, sprouts
• Yarns, threads, Fabrics and notions; or, manufactured clothing shoes.
• Wood and all its By-products: paper, chips, logs, planks boards
• Stone for permanent structures, drain-off, road-building, and septic systems; GLASS

* COST *

What is TRUE is that everything on this list can be had for labor costs only where Land is available.

Yes, Life is practically Free where people have land.

However, EVEN BEFORE the People have Land FREE AND CLEAR, they can do a lot to Free Themselves from the DEMANDS of Money:

• Layers and Layers of Registrations
• Commuting and all its costs,
• Layers and Layers of Taxation,
• Obtaining as a Pleasure-Substitute for Companionship,
• Obsessing over Collecting Things and Caring for It All, and The Neglect of Human Essentials, namely, Rest and Fun.

When people purchase in lots and from original sources, cost is minimal. To benefit from rock-bottom prices, Everyone must give Time and Effort. And then Just a little bit of money goes a long, long way.

Let's say you are part of a neighborhood that has space for its tools and garden implements, and you want to move on towards Community Buying. How do you do that?

The same way Retailers do. Shop price and bulk. Buy from growers and use your time to organize, package, and distribute small amounts to neighbors.

Food co-ops can also buy and distribute lots of wood, meat, 'remainders' of consumer items including clothes, shoes, and notions, if they keep to Simple sources.

One full-time person can organize a whole operation and save the Community 80% of its food bill; liberate everyone from half their shopping trips; and provide a venue for comraderie, sharing, and commonground Good Times that nobody had time for BEFORE.

Buying as a Group FREES EVERYBODY to hang out together and spend time GIVING AWAY what they want to Get Back.

If the people decide to keep their savings, they can choose whether to spend money on themselves or GIVE THAT AWAY too.

PROGRESS CHECK

Ok, to summarize how far we've come. We have a group of people who decided to start making and keeping Promises to each other. So they start DOING THINGS for each other that they had never done before. And the OUTCOME is that they begin to love each other. So, then they POOL all their tools, books, and equipment so they only have to buy what nobody already has stored in the Equipment Room. So, then they start buying commodities and building materials in common so they don't need to make as much money, and they can have more time to play together. They begin to spend even more of their time giving each other Essentials.

What they can now expect (REMEMBER--SEED MONEY?) is to get back TEN times what they are giving away. Remember now, the people are merely giving Gifts back and forth between THEMSELVES. THIS IS THE FORMULA FOR MANIFESTING FREE ABUNDANCE. Study it. Put it into Practice.

A Skills Bank for Neighboring and Labor Sharing

Now that you have freed up some capital from mere survival, it's time to think about the Options which that opens up for you. Naturally, some of you will jump off at this point, because there will be special agendas you want to follow.

This is good, because you are now a self-sustaining Community. But, for those of you who want to PRESS ON to a level of Diversity and Education never heretofore achieved on this Planet, the way is clear before you, to proceed.

Up til now, you have only utilized one person full-time, and the rest of the people have only worked cooperatively as Volunteers. In this step of the Process, you will specialize your labors, so that everyone in the Community is said to have one or more Functions in which s/he specializes and for which s/he gets Honored.

LAISSEZ FAIRE Vs. A COMMUNITY Utilizing a Skills Center

When Laissez Faire is operating and everyone is doing just what they are accustomed to doing, it is not possible to coordinate efforts, nor to grow people from one functional area to another which demands a high degree of Education. This is to say, there is no way to train occasional volunteers to be midwives, managers, planners, or decision-makers. All these functions require full-time, dedicated people to work them.

As a result, a Laissez Faire Community will never progress beyond an Aggregation of common interests and Good Times. It will never achieve Synergy, Growth, Abundance or Longevity.

SETTING UP A SKILLS BANK

To set up a Skills Bank [and later on, a credit union] your Community will need several decks of index cards and someone whose primary responsibility is seeing to it that members record essential date for the coordinator; and that's all. A computer is not necessary nor wanted.

* FUNDING A COORDINATOR *

Where the money comes from to engage a full-time coordinator is from the fund or bank checking account which runs Cooperative Purchasing. That function ought to generate a normal 5% surplus on purchases on each transaction, as well as add Member contributions in the form of contributed Neighborhood Collateral, Member Shares in the Legal Corporate Entity, and free will donations earmarked for Community start-up.

A Synergy that begins to make this Fund grow is the savings people retain by buying corporately. Therefore, one of the primary purposes of the Skills Bank is to ensure that the Fund is well managed.

COOPERATION AS A FORM OF BEING ACCOUNTABLE.

There needs to be cooperation between the Manager of Collateral and the Spiritual Leader of this Community -- these two people must compete against each other and be mutually accountable. That tension is very healthy for the community -- like two sprinters setting the pace in a race.

During the Buying Process.

This is achieved by permitting each one to look over the shoulder of the other, and by essentially giving each of them the Same Deal, as above. That's how, they compete; and they alternate their years of service, so that both of them do not step down at the same time. (Never leave an officer in one position for life; that begets corruption.)

By this time, the Community or Neighborhood has chosen a Way of Being, a Name, and a Mission. It's either skill-based, religious or ideological, or it won't fly. There has to be some primary motivation or devotion that a community is focused on and feels responsible for, or everybody just goes their own way. They're not inter-dependent in any way unless they're all working for the same goals, whatever those goals are.

This Book has illustrated two basic types of communities : one based a behavioral model and the other based in a religious devotion. I didn't go into ideology; that doesn't interest me.

A SKILLS BASE

A Skills Base can be either simple or complex. Simplicity means that it is a list of KNOWN individuals, their access locations, and what they know how to do competently. TEMPORARY members require more information; Guests require screening at the organizational and personal levels, in these times, sorry to say. If you have a computer, you're not going to be using it classifying the Residents; indeed, no. You will be doing background checks on new people; and you'll have to get good at interpreting indifferent and institutional information. These are strange times.

Having no formal accounting system, except for sales tax and unavoidable cash expenses by your "cover business" also means the Tax Man has almost nothing to look at. If everybody who happens to be at the Retreat Center this week is a volunteer, and volunteer jobs switch around, there are no wages to account for except for the Coordinator and the Inventory person. See where this goes? Sharing and giving among yourselves takes the place of income, and the tax bite goes away.

More complex means that there are job orders to fill, hour-for-hour trades to set up, and strict equivalency rules to follow. In the case of a complex system, it becomes very difficult to charge off labor at a rate of Minimum Wage or less, for tax purposes. And if volunteers insist on earning large numbers of dollars, Uncle Sam is going to want to take 20-30% of the total payroll, and that is a steep penalty for the Ego-gratification of earning high-dollar wages, especially if all one's Essentials can be acquired without any cash money at all.

But you and your group have got to learn to keep your heads down and lay low, financially.

The reason the subject of hourly wage comes up in such earnest at a Skills Center is that outside contractors LOVE to hire skilled workers out of your Skills Center, literally for peanuts, when the Community gets to the point that Jobs Become Options, not Requirements. And at the point that Contractors are knocking on the Skills Center Door, the Tax Man is also probably waiting, hat-in-hand, for his 20-40% cut off the top of wages; and then you lose all your volunteer workers to cheap outside jobs. That's a problem.

PLUS the added burdens of tax filing, preparation, detailed record-keeping and advance payments. So, leave money alone, except for taxes and internet service; and find other ways to "deal," or the money lenders, property assessors, utilities and local agents will be at your door with their hand out.

My point is, there is no way to predict which way Tax Laws are going to go. But if "wages" for one or two "employees" are kept low and labor is kept within the Community itself, then everything should be all right and remain stable. NO MORE than a FEW [10% tops] individuals can work outside--so long as the Community is adequately staffed and comfortably housed--before jealousy sets in and competition, and bad feelings, and problems.

A DAY'S WORK

Mammals like lions and cows sleep 16-20 hours a day. I get zonked after six hours work because I'm intensely focused. And the workday in a Town such as this---with all the tertiary socializing that goes into it--cannot exceed 4 or 5 hours a day maximum, at least not for very long.

So the person who knows what skills are where needs to be organized around the assumption that everyone who works only does a 4-5 hour shift; and that there are always two shifts of people to take on any full-day task. That way, with everything double-booked with help, Things Get Done because people feel like doing them together, or they get done because people want to get this finished and go back to something else. But they get done.

WORKING ARCHETYPES

Just as different species of animals operate on different 'clocks,' people operate from different working archetypes. So far as we can identify, there are about fourteen archetypes people fall into, that determine their working styles. So, the Community needs to adapt its tasks to the working styles of the people who show up. Everyone will not do the same job in the same manner.

1. Cook -- Baker, server, firefighter, emergency medical tech, cook. These individuals take orders, keep order, and provide physical Stamina to the Community.

2. Farmer-- Groundsman, helper, maintenance man, field hand, gardener. These individuals care for land and perceive its Real Problems; they promote permaculture, bio- energetic farming, and recycling. Many of them work two shifts because they have burgeoning families with burgeoning Needs. They often cross-train as recyclers.

3. Wood-- Housewife, woodworker, lumberman, horseman, butcher, cowboy. These individuals adapt people to the natural environment. They understand the Realities of the environment. They never stop working and trying to get things Right, and they have to be forcefully dislodged from working to rest.

4. Smith-- Mechanic, tool maker, repairman, truck driver, programmer. These individuals adapt the environment to the people. They want to be busy all the time, and they usually work double-shifts just because they want to. As aged adults, they are adored by their Apprentices and prized by their customers.

5. Dancer--Athlete, carpenter, bricklayer, dancer, teacher, yoga instructor. These individuals provide the Village with Vitality. They usually split their time between School (teaching or learning) and their craft. Always cheerful and outgoing, as they get on in years, quite often they move into the work of direct Caring--for the needs of the Sick or the Elderly.

6. Singer-- Officer, nurse, customer server, choral director, secretary. These individuals provide the Village with Cheer and Harmony. They split their time between helping others and withdrawing into their own private needs.

7. Mason-- Stone workers, road crew, philosopher, poet, artist, actor. These individuals bring Clarity and Definition, or Beauty, to the Village. They are people whose difficult temperaments make it impossible for them to be centered all the time; so they learn to work through the Dark Side with hard physical labor, and to come out on the Other Side with Insights and Clarity that are Gifts to the Village. Their Gifts come in the form of Literature, Poetry, Recitation, and Art.

8. Potter-- Maker of dishes, bowls and bricks; Librarian, mortician. These individuals promote Gatherings by providing Containment. Quiet and orderly by Nature, they are disturbed by Mess and driven to provide ways to Keep Things Neat. They are Potters who want to Contain the Whole World in comfort. They want Everything To Match, and will go to great pains to make things that Do. They are ceaseless workers, usually working double-shifts and accruing large Accounts.

9. Tailor-- tailor, seamstress, garbageman, streetsweeper, recycling manager. These individuals deal with the Need to keep warm and comfortable. These are the people who have come from Great Suffering in the past, and they are working out their Salvation with fear and trembling. They work double-shifts, and they are afraid to account fully for their time. They also must be dislodged to abide with Rest.

10. Mentor-- Teacher, journeyman, master, supervisor. These individuals hand down Access to tools, information, and skill. Their minds never stop figuring out how to control things in a Better Way, and they themselves will work as two or three different Archetypes in any given Day. They will only Rest when they know that everyone Else is working. On the Sabbath, they work hard at Resting.

11. Counter -- Banker, accountant, bookkeeper, usher. These individuals compile needed facts and information for decision-making. They have a thin veneer of sociability; but their real interest is the Power that information provides. Managing and motivating 'bean counters' of Integrity is the most difficult job of the Manager, because--competent or incompetent, honest or not--they all have a very pleasant, disarming demeanor.

12. Manager -- Magician, healer, coordinator, recycler, principal. These individuals make things happen which need to happen. Sometimes they are abrupt and abrasive, sometimes they don't have enough facts to back up their judgments, sometimes they do not truly listen to the people they must direct. Yet, their Integrity lies in the Way they learn to be open with people, to establish strong Expectations, and to work consistently and fairly with the same people year in and year out.

13. Secretary-- Village Secretary, volunteer, bus driver, guide, helper. These individuals are open to listening to and coordinating needs for the New, the Young, the Sick, the Old and those who are physically Vulnerable for any reason. They are always open to Others; so, they are also always at the point of burning out.

14. Chaplain -- Channel, prophet, teacher, master, guru, guide. This individual is responsible to All for the condition and circumstances of this Village, for the correct Understanding of Law, and for the Integrity of a Village Elder system.

Having Respect for human archetypes and operating from Fairness, the Skills Center coordinates tasks and motivate people to meet objectives. Yet they must never push, only Pull Things Along by their own Good Example.

RECAP ~*~ So, let's recap where we are.

We have one person running the Tools and Equipment Service full-time (on a fixed income); another swapping and trading Stuff at flea markets to accumulate Collateral (part-time); and a Third person running the Co-op (part-time). At this point, Everybody else is still living entirely by the money economy, but they are beginning to realize some benefits of giving and receiving Promises, buying cheaply in volume, and working together to distribute staples and plan for the Future--PERHAPS-- their Own Community Village, with a Name and a Place and the beginnings of a History.

The Co-op is putting money in the Treasury; so are individual members who want to be able to get loans from the Collateral group, to build homes in a new and permanent location.

What this stage implies, now that everyone in the Community has begun to take on REAL JOBS is that the time IS COME to finance Development, a Community infrastructure and Homes. Now comes the time when people--if you'll excuse the expression--put their money where their mouth IS.

By this time, the Collateral Group has maxed out what it can raise in terms of leverage. By this time, the people who want to live together have already been looking at FREE or CHEAP land. [It must run less than $100 per acre so Development gets funded.] And they are putting up their homes for sale.

What is true is that land exchanges will always be a feature of community life. The need for financing will always be present. The need for a safe place for the Community's money will always exist.

Collateral Accounts Converts to Pawn Shop Treasury

At the time everyone begins selling their present homes in order to move to the Community Site, what becomes necessary is to Conserve All Cash. Conserving Cash is accomplished by ten separate principles:

• Neglect is always more expensive than buying something really extravagant that does the job.
• Hopelessness is always revealed by the way people deal with money: the more money people waste, the less they feel Worthy.
• What's Real is that providing Experiences in the Physical is more Holy than providing Things. Going skiing is less of an extravagance than buying a car, or a boat, or a second home.
• For most people, conforming to Goals is truly a hidden way of conforming to other peoples' expectations. Free Spirits don't need to Shop, Shop til they Drop.
• Although the doctrine of Money is presumed to be Sacred, money doesn't exist in this Galaxy except on this Planet.

• Providing Money is not the same thing as providing Attentiveness and Caring. No one else can love your family as well and as competently as you can.
• When your life is finished here, the Experiences you have had will convey, but the things you have bought, won't.
• Integrity doesn't work where Money is Abundant; integrity works where Money is Scarce and Love is Abundant. Gratitude doesn't convey when a person is busy counting up his Gifts.
• Receiving conserves your energy so that you can Give More. This means that believing you will Get has NO power, but believing that you WILL GIVE is very powerful, in attracting Good to you.
• If you count your chickens before they hatch, they will never hatch.

"The Pawn Shop" is what we call a place to Yield one's Things, to reduce them to Cash, AND it is where the Community's money must be stored safely. The person who operates the Pawn Shop (the Treasurer, if you like) cooperates with the Manager of Collateral, to see to it that all Community members are able to raise enough cash to get sufficient materials to build their homes in Community.

All collateral and possessions that can be sold at this point, are sold outside the Community to raise cash; and it will serve to Develop the Community's Toe Hold.

Principles for Cashing Out One's Possessions [without regrets later] -- The way one cooperates with Experience is to Cash Out Possessions no longer needed or used.

Sustaining Life is never the Issue; when one sells out mere Stuff, the Issue for selling it is to Facilitate Change and Growth.

Restoring a house or buying another USED house is always a waste of money. Homes age with their People and must be completely re-built for a new family.

A chance to uphold one's Initiation into Service for Humanity is a Good Reason to liquidate.

The death of a family member is another good time to liquidate some things. But never liquidate the things of a child that dies; always pass them on to extended family's children and use them until they wear out naturally. Death must not be a fearsome thing to the children left behind.

Always liquidate the Things from a marriage that fails, so people can get on with their lives.

Immobilized people always attach to more Stuff than mobile people do. For that reason, the Community should encourage people to have Yard Sales and Flea Markets regularly.

Conforming to the Goals of the Community needn't mean that a person CANNOT collect or liquidate something Special--stamps, coins, pot sherds--which are not culled or put on display.

Finally, what is Sacred is to uphold the Law of Harmlessness. Noisy guns and ammunition (which alarm neighbors) are not appropriate for selling in a community devoted to Peace; but a bow-weapon devoted to hunting an occasional deer in winter months can change hands without much fanfare.

The way to establish the People's Treasury is simple.

Let the people give all their cash money to the Treasurer, and s/he puts it all together.

No notice is made of Who Gives How Much. If the Intention of the People is to sustain the Will of the Community, then it doesn't much matter which piece of cash serves what function.

Once the Community is built and furnished, then people will do outside work for pocket money.

Now, however, following the leadings of Community means that people must invest everything they happen to have in its infrastructure.

The people--because they have cast their bread upon the waters--can also expect that all their real physical and emotional needs will be met, yet while they have no cash reserves whatsoever. This is The Way a Developing Community must invest in itself, before it can function as a town. What happens later is what happens later.

And this is why a Newcomer who has not invested in the Beginnings of the Town will always be a Newcomer; why towns coalesce when the people who invested in it at first, come and dissipate when the Founders go.

Towns which learn to hang-on from generation to generation are often quite stagnant and immobile. If what we are saying about adaptability of towns is true, if what people tend to do is to want to establish a town of their own in their lifetime and leave the town behind when they die, then the outcome of this Reality is that Free Land is Essential.

The development and adaptation of Free Towns gives each Generation the opportunity to establish its Own Towns, so long as the land is never disrupted too much.

That is how tribal lands of Native Americans were operated for generation after generation, until white people took over and taught everyone to treat land as if people could own it.

People who want the Planet to Thrive as well as themselves will not pretend to own the Land; they will simply utilize and enjoy the land during their lifetime, and they will form legal covenants which will provide that their children can do likewise: live FREEly on FREE land.

For example, Google Perpetual Land Trust

What Man can now take from Native American culture is their learned ability to live transparently, to pool their resources, and to only leave footsteps behind.

For example, Google The Rainbow People

Recycling, Refurbishing and Crafts Center

This is a good time to talk about the Presence and Long-term Effects of Technology on the Eco-system, on the ability of the People to travel to the Stars, and on the Towns where people want to live.

If someone were to claim that God doesn't support space travel, then the question arises: How does He Himself get around?

If God Himself is a Space Traveler and if He supports space travel for humans, then HOW--with Simple Technology as the Town Concept implies--will people EVER travel out there to the Stars?

The FACT is, Simple technology built the Pyramids. Simple technology built up electronic theory [Tesla and Edison];

and simple technology will be the basis for Space Travel--not overblown NASA bureaucracy--just Clarity, just Ingenuity, just people working Together.

It's already happening. In California there is a group of amateur rocket hobbyists who are working on a project to orbit their own space craft, as we speak.

What relevance has Space Travel to a Town? Modern Technology is a veritable STOREHOUSE of Waste! Many of the people who come to live in money-free Towns will do their share of The Work by salvaging what wasteful people thoughtlessly discard:

• metal engines, shafts and wheels, panels, hardware, tools; tires (for retaining walls)
• old hand-operated machining equipment, sewing, carding, weaving, sorting, moving.

People today toss out technology--without thinking--that took thousands of years to dream up, millions of dollars to build, and which will require a million years or more to compose back into the ground. So, why not just RE-USE materials you find lying around?

A Town Center for Recycling, Refurbishing and Crafts will be the HUB of activity for people whose Clarity resides with Things: salvaging, re-engineering, re-working, adapting. Everything salvageable which is not contaminated with Death or Disease is AN OPPORTUNITY to build up the town, so long as there is a person on board who knows what to DO WITH IT.

If there are woodworkers in your Town, THEN salvage old furniture.

If there are have metal workers, THEN salvage cars and machines.

If there are electronics techs, THEN salvage computers.

But, NEVER get what you can't FIX up or trade and profit from. Just housing junk is not profitable. A good re-cycling and refurbishing Center will be the third continuous Work Place in Town. It should probably be located in close proximity to both the Tool Bank (for access to different kinds of tools) and to the Co-Op (where Free and Nutritious lunches can be served to men working).

This Work Place, however, will require extensive Storage Facilities, to warehouse junk, unrenewable materials and recyclables that may not be used now, or for decades--yet must remain close at hand. Probably the best way to deal with that problem is to build a bunker-like below-grade storage facility, and berm it all around with mounds of grass and greenery, so it is not visible, and neither detracts from the ambiance of the Town itself nor puts recycle-able metals at risk of being stolen.

On the other hand, all crafts-people can work out in the open in public view; because Visitors will want to participate, buy and trade with creative craftsmen.

Remember, always structure and lay out your Town so its Best Foot is in view; and its necessary Parts are out-of-sight of Visitors, who come with Cash and Goodwill.

VILLAGE--BUILDING

The Purpose of the Laws of God is to teach Awareness of Causes and Effects; of Justice; of Fairness.

The Purpose of laying out a Town before you build it is to Get Past the Inertia of Distance and Time.

Making Work Easy has the same Effect as Not Being Dependent on Working.

Specifying where Functions need To Occur is the Same as Having a Large Effect with a Small Movement.

Finally, linking all the parts Together with a Single Sustaining Road is the same as Intending that Opportunities will Succeed.

PREPARATIONS

To recap: You have money in the Treasury from cashed out Collateral.

You have purchased 100-200 covered plastic garbage bins to ease the Transition from a money economy to Free-dom [for 50 people].

You have found FREE Waste Land that has a WaterShed. [Wells are risky.]

The Land must be hilly-at-least, for drainage, for privacy.

FlatLand is dangerous to live on, open and vulnerable.

You have left your house, and you have left all your Nice Things with Others for SafeKeeping until the Road is built and your Tent is at Rest.

There will be a Gathering when you Reclaim your Good Life Stuff, later.

YEAR ONE--March through November

You must locate a Great Source of crushed rock, stones, and gravel; or concrete.

You must have moved your Tools, Books, and scavenged building materials onto the land, in tents and caves on higher ground, away from water.

Your temporary Co-op tent is set up on High Ground, and all foodstuffs are stored away.

(Caves are best; shaded, sealed garbage bins, okay) and protected from heat, bugs, and animals.

The people are now housed in trailers and tents, near the Co-Op and Work Groups.

There is a Tent for young children and a Tent for Older Children; and it is the work of an Older Child is to teach a Younger One how to behave, one-on-one.

There is a bathing Tent for Men and one for Women.

You must now dig all your latrines over the hill so that, when flooded, they RunOff in the Direction AWAY from the Town Water Supply, which is Holy.

There must be plenty of good-tasting, natural food to feed the workers, so they do not get sick working in Rain and Mud four hours a day.

So you must have sufficient money to buy staple foods for everyone for 18 months;

amounting to a total of ten sacks of grains/nuts/beans per person for that time period.

During Spring, the rainy season, you all can see how the WaterShed works, and you must adapt yourselves to its Ways.

You must capture all the fresh drinking water you can, in clean plastic garbage bins, with lids on them. Eventually, you will build cisterns.

If well water is available, cap it off for now; or test it daily for pollution and diseases.

Plan to capture and keep five gallons of rainwater per person per rainy day, until your water system is in place.

IT IS AT THIS POINT THAT YOU MUST DESIGN THE ROAD--NOT BEFORE, NOT LATER.

Remember, you are here to learn to GET OUT OF THE WAY of Trouble and Pain.

Your Road will either make it Easy for you or Hard for you to Live.

It will take a year to build this road, with all the Help you can muster.

After that, everything Else will seem Easy.

Model your land from a topo map and clay until Everyone can see where the Road must go.

To Reach Everything, to circle around and Come Right Back to where it started.

Hire a professional surveyor to mark out its boundaries in their Right Places, so the Road will be Upright and Level, not suffering from Washout. This is your greatest capital and labor expense, ever.

THE THEORY OF ROAD BUILDING

Roads are built on your world as a convex curve that drains water off the edges.

This is inappropriate, unsafe, and wrong to build.

Rethink how a road needs to be built.

A road, to be safe, needs to travel One Way Only, in a circle, so it's Easy to get back to the Beginning.

That way, the road only needs to be seven feet wide--not twenty-feet wide.

That way, the road does not intrude into the landscape, and it is invisible from the air, where trees tower overhead. This is good.

Being unintrusive means the Tax Man does not Notice your comfort.

RAMPING A ROAD

A CONCAVE road runs water down the center of itself, particularly if a deep center trench is filled with large stones to permit water to drain easily.

But what is best about a concave road is that turn-overs are rare; groundcovers are not In The Way; staying to the center of the road is Natural and Easy;

the absence of on-coming Traffic makes the Road Safe;

the Road takes up little space, fewer materials; and it is easy to keep.

BUILDING A ROAD FROM SCRATCH

An efficient road must consist of Loops that return to Center.

It must accommodate Drainage, scraping of snow, and be weed-free.

The way to accomplish all these criteria is to utilize crushed Rock, Layer upon layer, wheel barrow load by wheel barrow load.

Where the Center Drainage Trench is dug 12" across and braced with blocking stones (level with the road surface) that let water pass stone-filled, only the body of cars or wagons will pass over those stones; and hand-trucks move two-abreast.

From the large center rocks outward, new gravel can be added each year, to supplement what is already there.

Ruts will be filled in with gravel. Washboards will be filled in with gravel. Pot-holes will be filled in with gravel. Weed-patches will be filled in with gravel. Drainage ditches will be regularly washed clear, to facilitate water flow and the gravel that gets washed down the center can be reused.

Plan for fully 12" of gravel to be finally built up, before the Road stays put.

If more and larger rocks are needed to fill over an enclosed culvert, that works too.

The first winter is always hard.

Some people will go home to families to wait out bad weather.

Some people will hunker down in campers.

Some will give up entirely.

But the people who Stay, will Stay Forever.

As the Road is built up, land nearby can be developed, even if the Circle is not yet completed.

Let a Jitney help people move around to their Places, even only going in half-circles.

Eleven times a day, let it circle about, and bring people and materials and belongings, so cars are not e'en thought of.

It's better to have one jitney for fifty families than a score of cars and busses.

Now your Honored Places must be dealt with:

• Tool and Book Library
• Schools, Food Co-op
• and the Refurbishing Center [hidden stores of recyclables],
• Skills Coordinator's and Counting Offices all must serve within stones' throw of each other.

Churches will arise where the People sense What is Holy.

Arts and Trade Shops will locate near the Center of Town.

The Clinic and Hospice need to be where Quiet overrules Business.

When the People deal with Placement BEFORE construction begins, then they save themselves thousands of steps, hundreds of hours, myriads of minutes for Companionship, for Art, for Play and for Reflection.

Let there be a regular Time of Silence When Everyone is Assembled, to reflect on and visualize the Town in its Glory Days.

And then, when Glory Days do arrive, It will be EXACTLY SO.

Seasonal Gatherings ...

have a trade-off: they encourage Trade and Industry, but they also encourage Disease.

Fundamental transactions that promote Abundance always occur where People Gather.

Yet, this Script is being written in a time of Plague: AIDS, hepatitis, tuberculosis viruses.

Therefore, we will proceed with an Assumption that Disease and Hunger are at work.

Future Generations must not be undermined by failed Gatherings that were intended to Thrive the People, but stumbled due to sickness and contagion.

THE ETIOLOGY OF DISEASES

When a new virus emerges, that is Gaia's Response to crowding and filth (or some outside genocidal wish).

The Belief that Disease is exchanged where people are physically Touching or breathing the same air is Inaccurate, in and of itself, unless the air is actually being sprayed with chemical contagion.

Generally, what makes Disease progress is permitting germs and viruses to propagate in rotting, standing or cooling media.

In a Context in which Healthy *CLEAN* Practices are adopted, diseases will not spread unless they are spread deliberately. In the current political climate, it is a good idea to build all social places "under glass" to pre-empt the spread of disease.

Diseases always change in Time--unpredictably.

In any case, being focused on keeping things cleaned off and germ-free is always good Practice.

Isolating people who have Dis-ease is always good Practice.

Mating appropriately is good Practice. Mating to breed and rear Strong Children is one Good Goal; but Mating for Love and Restoration of the Soul is Another. And in either case, Cleanliness and Discipline Inhibit the spread of Diseases.

KEEPING GERM-FREE

Before a Gathering can take place, latrines must be dug downstream from the Gathering Area. Another possible approach is to by portable "johns" which then must be truck-carried and unloaded into dug latrines that are downstream. Whether people use johns or dug latrines, is a matter of the preferences and resources of the community. Johns require chemicals that do the same job as strong vinegar and overripe tomatoes, to deodorize and break down fecal matter. Think about it.

The same latrines can be re-dug each year without odor if food waste, compost and kitchen clean-up water suds solution] are thrown on top of human waste before it is filled back in at the end of a Gathering.

By next year, the soil will smell sweet once more because the soap and bleach will break it down. This is because fly eggs cannot live in the presence of bleach and soap, but worms can.

HYGIENE

To share meals with others, each single person or Family must bring 3 buckets, soap, chlorine bleach, bowls, cups, spoons and a knife to keep and use and be responsible for.

If after each meal, everything is washed in soapy water in Bucket #1, rinsed in clear water in #2, and dipped in a 1-2 T. bleach solution in #3, disease will not spread.

Then, throw soapy water and the bleach water into the latrine.

Every person must wash his or her hands with Soap AFTER using the latrine, digging in the garden, handling money, sneezing, picking their nose, or touching animals--

and BEFORE preparing food, treating a wound, making love, or touching another person's face.

Due to the prevalence of foot fungi, it is also good practice to scrub feet with a brush, soap and water and a 1T. vinegar to 1c water rinse when one comes in from working in hot shoes or bare feet.

Dirty clothes incubate bacteria and odor. TAKE a bath and wash your clothes every day. Yes, I said BATH. Half a cup of baking soda in the bath will neutralize chemicals in the water, and you'll soak where you sit, clean. Showers leave the anal area reeking with bacteria.

ISOLATE THE DIS-EASED

Let's assume the worst: let's assume that your Gathering is taking place in the middle of a lethal epidemic.

What can be done to protect the Healthy, and comfort the Afflicted?

1. First, each person who arrives feverish, tired, headachy, upset stomach, in pain, with skin eruptions or emotionally disrupted--

2. must receive and have set up from Stores : a pup tent, cot, blanket, towel, five gallons of fresh drinking water, and electrolytic supplements so they don't dehydrate and die.

3. If s/he has arrived alone, s/he is settled with other similarly Sick who help each other; If they arrive as a family, the family is charged with attending to them, keeping them clean and feeding them--at the north end of the camping area, so all the Sick are together, who have the same dis-ease.

4. If the whole family is sick and helpless, the family is settled at the furthest edge of the Gathering, downstream and downwind, and accommodated with any Volunteer help that may happen to turn up for them. (Aeonian Cluster, with monks and nuns, respond to calls from sick visitors, out of a vocation to serve God's Will.)

5. When the Gathering matures, good practice dictates that the host Community build a weatherproof Shelter for just such occurrences.

6. The sick are fed off paper plates and cups, and everything they use is collected in large paper bags and burned.

7. They are bathed by their parents, siblings, children or volunteers as often as need be; and their clothes in the tub with them, with bicarb of soda and warm water, so their clothes can be handled safely afterwards.

8. Their Clothes washed in lye-soap are hung out in the sun to dry; and the Sick One is provided with a simple chemise to wear and alternate with their own clothes, for each washing up, until the Gathering is ended.

9. No one who is sick may sleep with anyone else.

10. If a Healer or others want to come to lay hands on the Sick for Healing, that is an option.

11. If the Sick are still Sick at the end of the Gathering, a Judgment can be made that Karma [Cause and Effect] is at work, and the Town must provide for the Sick until they can all Go Home, to their Families or to God.

GATHERINGS, ROMANCE AND MATING

1. Familiarity breeds.

2. Relationships that begin in secrecy and sin reap a karmic cost of dissolution later on. Or, they result in a karmic pregnancy that people want to terminate. ... Destruction is never a blessing. Life is never the problem.

3. The Plagues that exist are primarily sexually-transmitted.

4. For people who are already married, Gatherings are a Business Opportunity, a discipline.

5. For people who are Single, Gatherings will advertise not only their physical prowess or beauty, but also highlight Obsessions, Confusion and Alienation which are at work.

6. Thus, Gatherings are a Test of Character for All.

SEXUAL ACTIVITY AND DISEASE

1. Sex is messy, and not an appropriate activity for Public Display.

2. Sex has health and breeding consequences that can mar a person's Experience. And if a failed romance yields unwanted pregnancy and the necessity to decide to accept A child or abort it: ". . . lack of family commitment exists between sexual partners who are breeding without regard for costs or outcomes. Lack of commitment between sexual partners is breeding without regard for costs or consequences.

Abortion may be a short-term merciful end to a Harsh Experience of Childhood, but it is not an experience that we abide with or favor. What is preferable is to place such a child for adoption by Abiding with Favor parents in a Lawful Community, to be reared as a potential Ascender, for most Ascendants tend to come from mixed backgrounds, and they have very difficult and troublesome youth experiences.

3. Everybody knows who doing what with whom. You're all psychic anyway, so there's really No Way to 'get away with it' at a Gathering.

4. Let that be so. Let Vitality serve as an End in Itself and not in more troubles.

5. People who become Friends at Gatherings can take up a more serious relationship at a later, more appropriate time.

~*~ G A T H E R I N G S -- Miracles in the Making ~*~

The Law Abides with Love by Sharing, Thanksgiving, and Evoking Natural Profits.

This Planet was set up to express the Gifts of Free Will and Manifest Miracles.

When all humans are educated in Integrity, Then Free Will and Manifest Miracles provides for Everyone, without Servitude.

God never intended that people should be subject to the rules of Impersonal Entities.

Today the People have no way to exchange or trade values and skills because everything they do is attached to money and to taxation and because counting pennies is favored over counting favors, gifts, and love. Buying and selling are limited to Corporate Rules.

YET we insist: God provides. Here is the Way Business Is Done where Free Will and Miracles are permitted to manifest.

*THE SEASONAL GATHERING* A Place of Tent and Meeting *

Competence and cooperation are taught; Delight Itself provides a process for Change, and the People Open to new Tools of Knowledge.

We call this Gathering a Free Gathering because Admission is not an issue; only the costs incurred in travelling and setting up Camp and Business with food to share and to spare--fall on Participants.

Camp space, water, sanitation, staple foods, emergency care, child care and Entertainment are all part of the Program.

So is Voluntary Helping Out and Cooperating with the Rules, part of the Program.

PREPARATIONS

Preparations are based on an Expectation to competently handle ten times a Town's population.

First, a count needs to be taken, of the number of people who are working to Cooperate.

Each activity needs to be arranged so hundreds of people can sit down comfortably and see it.

What will profit everybody is if Every Visitor has a Good Time.

The people who are going to Present Perform at the Gathering need to come forward and be counted.

Everyone needs to be able to Hear what Speakers and Performers are Saying; Sound Systems will need to be set up.

A Stage Crew needs to know when and where things will have to be brought up and taken down.

Competence shows in Preparation, in the presence or absence of Music, Lighting, and Program.

Free Spirits are always open to Suggestions; so is a FREE Gathering, open to Suggestions and Assistance.

Keeping everyone Healthy is a primary consideration, or the Gathering will have a Bad Outcome.

THE MAIN ATTRACTIONS

The main feature of a Gathering is giving people a Reason to mingle, relate, and sense what is Sacred.

Thus a Gathering can deal with Anything contained in the Sum of Life that people favor.

This is where peoples' works find Acceptance and a ready Market.

What is appropriate at a Gathering is whatever is Safe and Interesting, whatever deals with Awareness--of Time, of Beauty, of Sound, of Harmony--is On Display.

Opportunities to "Try It Out," "Try It On," "Open It Up," and "Look At That" are all around you.

What happens is that Individuals evoke Feelings, manifest Desires, make Agreements, and Wake Up their spirits.

And the Will bears all things, with Grace and Candor. This is a Good Discipline.

MIRACLES ARE A PUBLIC SPECTACLE.

The Miracle that Everyone will Witness is the Miracle that everyone who comes today gets their Needs Met, Without Money and Without Price.

First, Individuals with "items to give, share or swap" come up on stage to talk about what they brought; and they get a round of applause for their generosity;

Then they are sent out to the booths to have their gifts counted and their Promises filled out and witnessed to. [And then they come back in at the Front.]

Individuals with "services they perform" for people are called on stage to tell about their Services; and after they get a round of applause for offering their skills, they are sent out to the booths in Back to have their Promises drawn up, which they can commit to fulfill.

[And then they come back in through the Front, if they have more to offer.]

Individuals with "Helping Out skills" (e.g., care-giving, housekeeping, maintenance) come forward to offer their help; and when they receive a round of applause for their diligence, they are sent out to the Booths in Back to have their Promises scheduled and so they can spend it them elsewhere. [And then they come back in the Front to witness the rest.]

Some people have now been On Stage receiving Applause THREE TIMES--and they are Hyped. They have stuff, they have skills, they have time to help. Now it's time for Obtaining the Experience of Obtaining.

Selecting Who gets their Preferences first is simple: the One with the largest number of Promises outstanding WINS!

[Most people already have in mind what it is that they WANT; they're just looking for the SOURCE of their Desires. Now we are going to make it easy for them to get what they truly desire.]

And the first one who WINS must speak his/her Fondest Wish.

And everybody in the Audience looks around to see who or where this Wish Might Be Hiding.

And then someone will say, 'I've GOT ONE!'

And then it moves to the next one with the most money; and that one tells his or her Fondest Wish; and again, everybody in the Audience looks around to see who or where this Wish Might be Hiding.

And then someone will say, 'I've GOT IT!'

[It NEVER fails. In this type of Crowd, someone always does GOT IT.]

And on and on it goes, until the only people left are the ones who have No Promise Currency, nothing. They came unprepared, or alone, or whatever.

So the Master of Ceremonies says, 'Now we will see a Miracle for those without money and without Price!'

[These are the people who are sick or afflicted, or new, or scared.] "Come ON DOWN! you who brought nothing with you!"

All these people are brought together on Stage [while the ones with Money are busy bargaining and trading their Promise Currency].

And some light music is playing.

While the Participants are trading their currencies, they hold a little Back, just in case someone is In Need in that Final Group.

Then the Pastor/Prophet/Guru/Seer comes into the middle of the (very embarrassed Group of individuals standing on the stage, and he invokes a Blessing on them sayings, "What you give unto others, will be given unto you. What do you have in your pocket or purse that you can give to somebody?"

So the hapless people left on stage bring out a handkerchief, or a roll of Tums; and the new person brings out a little money [because they still live by money], and the scared person brings out a lucky charm.

And each one puts their token into a colorful hat.

And then each one is asked if they have seen something they liked or wanted or needed in all the program.

And they'll always say, Yes, they did.

So whatever that WAS will be given to them; and all that is asked of them is the token from their pocket. Thus Everybody Wins.

And then the Pastor/Prophet/Guru/Seer gives an Invocation, and everybody goes to the Dining Tent for a light meal and the Gathering is Complete.

Most communities can only sustain One Such Gathering in a year; and the people will begin working on the Next Year's Gathering the week after this one is over.

This is the end of the module devoted to Living Without Depending on MONEY.

-- MINUS 0666 *W A R* --

Defeating and Forgetting a Culture IS A Form of Blasphemy

Anger can become collective. But it always fails at its Aim: Control.

Forgetting that people are people is NOT JUST living a form of Lie.

It is Blasphemy against Life itself.

In the past, War was a Tool to Cull and Limit Lawlessness.

He Who Had Dominion Bred and Culled at Will.

Love abides with what's Lovable; but it Limits Chaos.

Initiating the Culling Process belongs with God--NOT by men's authority.

Abiding belongs to Every person, high or low. TODAY--

The Form of Composure that is Acceptable to God is the Form which says--

"Thy Will be done." The Kingdom of God is the Will of God--in which

Exclusion is the capital penalty; and shunning is the Lawful practice.

The Bible was a Book of Wars because this has been an Aeon of Active Doubt.

Your Future will see yet one More War to come. Just this One is Left.

We are getting you Ready for this Last War: to make sure--

Never again will War make Sense in the Good Thoughts of the People

MINUS 0777 -- H A T E = PREDATION --

"The rain falls on the righteous and the unrighteous."

Humanity is marked by intentions to create Good and intentions to create Advantages.

This is the simple difference between Good and Evil.

It's not profitable to overpower someone.

ELEMENTS OF HATE

Teasing and hatred are the same thing. Neither is profitable in terms of relationships.

Both discourage Reckoning and Reasoning. An impersonal Response is one way to defuse it.

People who tease and hate only understand Power.

ELEMENTS OF CRIME

Doubt, disapproval and worry unwrap the Mind from its Focus on what's Appropriate.

Then, others' sublimating and holding back serve to Increase Pressure for Change.

Doubting Reasonableness exists, one now embraces Presumptions about Who IS Right.

To What or to Whom to go for relief -ALL- fail.

Hopelessness finally Doubts even its own Survival when one has nothing left to lose.

If an Episode of Violence escalates to Death, and the perpetrator survives it,

there is a great Rush of Excitement and Pleasure and an Appetite for Violence is whetted.

ADDITIONAL Quotes--

"When we look at the ego, then we are not considering dynamics but delusions. You can surely regard a delusional system without fear, for it cannot have any effects if its source is not real. Fear becomes more obviously inappropriate if you recognize the Ego's goal, which is so clearly senseless that any effort on its behalf is necessarily expended on nothing. "The ego's goal is quite explicitly ego autonomy. From the beginning, then, its purpose is to be separate, sufficient unto itself and independent of any power except its own. This is why it is the symbol of separation." Course in Miracles, Text, V.4, page 203.

"There are six things that Jehovah does hate; yes, seven are things detestable to his soul: lofty eyes, a false tongue, and hands that are shedding innocent blood, a heart fabricating hurtful schemes, feet that are in a hurry to run to badness, a false witness that launches forth lies, and anyone sending forth contentions among brothers. The Bible, Proverbs 6:16-19, New World Translation.

"Did the people of the towns feel secure against the coming of Our wrath by night while they were asleep? Or else did they feel secure against its coming in broad daylight while they played about (care-free)? Did they then feel secure against the Plan of God?--but no one can feel secure from the Plan of God, except those doomed to ruin!" Quran, vii. 97-99.

~*~ 80.80 -:- COMPASSION FOR LIFE ~*~

The reason knowledge is finite is because any and every mind's choices in time are finite. It is true that the amount of information in the Universe is INFINITE; however, all the Beings in the Universe put together could never perceive nor store all the information there is to store--yet alone cohere and value.

Alpha--the Holy Spirit--comes as close to Perfect Thought as a Being can approach--yet She Chooses which information to store, and which information to delete, as we do on our hard disks. Discernment then is limited to what minds choose to retain and remember.

Subjectivity is another matter. Subjectivity also includes what you term Make Believe, what you Imagine, what you Visualize, and these are infinite. Possibilities for constructing alternate realities which will never really exist are inexhaustible, even as they are exhausting. One can spend lifetimes and lifetimes in make believe simulations and never deal with a single real discernible fact.

Yahweh states: "My point is, this planet and galaxy move through space and resides now in the dan of the Aeonians, wherein Thought stays in the subjective and never comes home to real physical cause-and-effect. That is why I run my galaxy My Way and They run Theirs Their Way. And this is also why Eternal Aeonians discern Me--not as a challenge, not as a threat, not as something real, but as simply another interesting idea; and until recently, They left my worlds pretty much alone."

COMPASSION

"Seek not to spread My gospels, and entice followers unto this, or that, saith Jehovih. Neither go about preaching, saying: Thus saith Jehovih! Let all men hear Me in their own way. No man shall follow another. I will have no sect. I will have no creed. I am not exclusive; but I am with all My living creatures. ... As to thought and as to knowledge, this hath been a great labor. ... to those who choose Me, practicing their all highest light, I am a shield and fortification against all darkness, and against all evil and contention. ... Thou shalt not establish Me by man's laws, nor by the government of man, saith Jehovih. Nor establish by man's laws or government any book or revelation, saying: 'Behold, this is Jehovih's book. To keep man from interfering with man, this hath been great labor. To teach man to comprehend liberty, especially as to thought and as to knowledge, this hath been a great labor." OAHSPE, copyright 1882, Oahspe Publishing Association, New York.

"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak." Scofield Version of the Bible, Eccl. 3:1-13.

"The more complex civilization becomes, the more difficult will become the art of living. The more rapid the changes in social usage, the more complicated will become the task of character development. Every ten generations mankind must learn anew the art of living if progress is to continue. And if man becomes so ingenious that he more rapidly adds to the complexities of society, the art of living will need to be remastered in less time, perhaps every single generation. If the evolution of the art of living fails to keep page with the technique of existence, humanity will quickly revert to the simple urge of living--the attainment of the satisfaction of present desires. Thus will humanity remain immature; society will fail in growing up to full maturity." The Urantia Book, 1772, par 4. MERCY.

~*~ FIVE STAGES OF LIFE ~*~

1. INFANTS must be permitted to live, or Karma falls on the parents. ... Abortion or child murder place parents in the unenviable cosmic position of having no way back into the Physical once their earthly life is finished; so their material and physical experiences are harshly truncated until someone remembers and prays for them.

2. CHILDREN are holy--that is to say, the Future depends on THEM. Therefore, whoever breaks down and shuts down a child's ability to tolerate shame and discipline [by physically, sexually, or verbally abusing them] merely guarantees the same kind of treatment for themselves down the road. What goes around, comes around, however long it takes.

3. ADOLESCENTS cannot and do not see the effects that their behaviors evoke. If parents do not articulate probable effects of each action that a child takes, then what become Sacred to the Adolescent is mere Freedom and License, which lead to corruption and destruction.

4. PARENTS' intentions to always respond gently are not always appropriate. What is dangerous is exhausting to deal with because it demands a continuous and heightened response until the danger is past. Nothing less than a full response to danger--to a polluted environment, to a corrupt democracy, to dishonest practices, to being misled and talked over--will serve to satisfy a child's belief that his parents are competent parents.

5. SPIRITUAL INITIATES must understand that harmlessness is the basis from which all judgments about one's Integrity are made. God's net effect is harmless, and people must be harmless who want to think they are deserving of spiritual and cosmic status. Laws of harmlessness are given elsewhere and Law is based in Reason, not merely the Reckoning of Rules. Each Law has as its purpose the eternal health of the Individual, the Community, and the Planet.

~*~ 8991-- GENDER and SEXUAL HEALTH ~*~

Life is never Just a Bother. Experience is never just something to avoid.

Deserving Honor and Virtue cannot be attributed to those who have simply refused to act at all.

Take care that contemplation is not just a way to stay out of Life's Business.

If you're not in Life's Way, you cannot develop strength.

If you are not truly vulnerable to pain and loss, you cannot empathize with God's acceptance of you, and you cannot learn to forgive yourself and others.

You are here to live life, not just to TALK, TALK, TALK.

The Divine Banquet is the experience of the Whole Subjective Dimension in your head.

It is hearing the Angels' call to you, to consider a new Thought, without instantly identifying with the thought.

It is hearing interpretations about your current feelings, without casting interpretations as Expectations or as Doubts for the future.

It is hearing that you need to enlarge your responsibilities, without adding the Expectation that you will enlarge your Privileges.

Right now, new Subjective experiences will continue to add depth and variety to your physical experiences, including increasing your ability to spontaneously respond.

This is the Will of God and your Will working together. Misery is not a good substitute for Virtue.

If you're not getting your needs met, you're not getting your needs met.

So, what are you going to do about it? Make God feel guilty for calling you to love?

If you're not suffering for My Sake, why not just love yourself and provide for your own needs as well?

But IF you deny your own needs, then I--God--am made to look like a gloating Monster, and your heart withers from the Shame of it.

But, if you are called to work with me so our Wills are One, I will gladly give you the Desires of your True Heart, because I love you.

II

Most People don't deal with what's Holy; they deal with the appearance of what's Holy.

In terms of outcomes and consequences, sexual activity has never had a Holy doctrine--that is, a doctrine based on causes and effects, costs and outcomes.

People are squeamish about sex because sex is messy and smelly, sticky and juicy.

Within the marriage bond, sex improves the energy adaptation of both men and women, including increasing their ability to respond if they utilize their energies harmoniously.

The fact is that sexual experiences are energizing or calming, in and of themselves, depending on which partner is energized and which is passive.

And sex doesn't have undesirable consequences attached to it, unless disease or boredom are at work.

Masturbation is the perfect example of a practice that can promote either Good or Evil, depending on the individual's knowledge of energy states, gender and timing.

When an energized individual (usually male) masturbates and activates an emission, His bodily energy is reduced and relieved for a time with no harmful effects (if cleanliness is actuated).

BUT, if the person cultivates the appetite for and attachment to this type of release, it becomes an addiction, like any other, with a fixation on the release of energies rather than the resolution of issues.

Occasionally, such a release truly helps an energized male who has made the commitment to celibacy and Solitude in service to the Lord.

But, what if the male is not energized, is yin, and lacking energy? Does that mean he should desire the energy of another male?

Never may that be the case! I am the One Who provides freely to All that ask! I will energize the passive, yin male, if he will but ask me.

Should the yin male desire the energy of a yang female?

Now, this is a good question, and the answer depends whether the yin male has an occasional problem or a constant problem.

If the problem is occasional loss of energy, I will happily provide.

If the man's energy is in a major depression, then he and I have work to do, to seek knowing of his True Will, and with that, My Will for him.

If his True Will is that he should marry and get regularly adjusted by regular sex, that can be one outcome.

If he's in the midst of great Passion, but doesn't want to compromise his commitment to the single life, He must confess to his Lover this Commitment, and he must limit his consensual activity to cuddling and/or oral sex.

This sounds shocking, but it has a true empirical basis.

Oral sex has fewer long-term outcomes and consequences than Honored Sex:
1. No children are produced.
2. It teaches trust in a very conscious way.
3. It relieves the Great Passions of a temporary nature; and
4. It provides the space and time for true contemplation of God's Will about long-term Decisions.

[Naturally, the person suffering from Passion is not rationally thinking about birth control.]

If he or she is contemplating 'just sex,' then real passion is truly absent or control is the real issue.

If sexual practice continues for more than a few short interludes, and does not produce a movement toward Marriage, a problem of attachment to appetite has become manifest; and such a problem can now be dealt with directly.

Birth control is Good Practice in marriage for the careful and appropriate Spacing of Children in the family; but birth control for the purpose of profane and recreational sex diminishes the pleasure for sexual expression by increasing its frequency beyond the natural limit of desire.

III

There are no shortcuts to Harmony. Harmony means Good Results.

Each and every step of your path has been traveled before. The Path is shorter and simpler than you can Guess.

It is simply Trusting Me to provide everything for you--even sex, even pleasure.

In the midst of and your commitment to love me--not in spite of that commitment.

Your Path is like a rock thrown across the expanse. Not a motion is lost.

There are no spinning wheels and there is no energy deficit. All 'side tracks' are part of the program.

Sex is not the problem: Obsession is a problem. Obtaining is a problem. Consequences are problems.

But you will get all the energies you need to fulfill My Mission for you.

And we will work through the details together, because I have visited that Space time and time again; and I know how to work you through it.

IV

Sin, in the past, meant lack of discipline and the bad consequences that arose therefrom.

Now, sin has a new meaning. A person who is immobilized and clutching at whatever he or she can [get at] is said to be 'in sin.'

When in Sin, the individual doesn't perceive that any choices are available, but feels that all the good options are already taken by others [zero sum];

or that naturally deserving Honor is impossible because of the Judgment that Sin Causes Death.

The fact is: Life causes Death and Sin just makes Life harder.

'Favoring' an individual means that God is putting up with and attending to him or her now.

If God is favoring you, then your struggles are visible to Him and your deserving honor is visible also.

Just by the colors of your Aura, He sees everything that you are feeling and thinking.

You are absolutely transparent to God. Nothing you do, think, feel or notice escapes His Friendly Attention.

V

Now, if a female is yang (having a surplus of energy and a logical mind), what should she do?

The Principle of Androgyny operates in the Physical : Each person--to Deserve being Honored by others--must live out the gender into which they happen to be physically born regardless of whether their Spirit is Dominant (male) or Doubtful/Faithful (female).

This means, a dominant female has a surplus of energy and a rational mind that CAN cut most men to pieces.

If such a woman disdains the weak men of her day and craves serving God, then it would help her to masturbate to equalize and soften her energies so she can remain autonomous.

Any capable woman can give herself more pleasure than any fumbling male can ever produce for her himself.

If occasional release is not enough, she should seek a mate having Strong Integrity (or she WILL cut him to pieces) from among those men who are Passive.

This is because such a woman needs Space to Operate which a Dominant Male will never permit her to exercise.

She must hold the Passive Man in Honor as she would hold a Dominant Man in Honor, because he is truly filling her needs to relieve her excessive energy.

But, should she take a female, submissive partner? Never! lest the children's concept of Role, Doctrine and Trust be confused and confounded.

Remember--it is the effect on the children of every Doctrine that determines whether an outcome works or not.

Children are the reason for love, sex, and pair-bonding.

Children are the reason for the need for energy-sharing.

Children are the reason for the need for Discipline and Role-Modeling.

Now, if the woman is passive and has little energy, look closely to see whether she thrives that way, or she is seriously repressed or depressed.

A woman who is always or mostly yin may be physically exhausted or spiritually exhausted.

Let her come to God for help in discerning her own Will and to harmonize her Will with Mine.

VI

From this discussion, All can see there are no excuses for long and lonely faces.

I will provide the relationships you need to thrive in your work While I am in the process of locating your Right Place, you always have the option of providing your own [temporary] pleasure.

That is a better and safer alternative than recreational sex with profane lovers or--worse yet--family responsibilities that are not appropriate to your true Vocation.

For those of my Children who love and serve Me, the cost need not be Will-sacrificing abstemiousness.

Such is not a reflection of God's True Love.

~*~ INITIATION and ASCENSION ~*~

919---The Initiate's Life is a reflection of his/her Thoughts: there is no fantasizing or wishing at work.

929---The Initiate's Life is a Practice of confronting Discrepancies between what is Coherent with God and Good, and what is chaotic in one's Life.

939---The Initiate's Life is focused on sustaining and continuing a Function that God deems to be Good.

949---The Initiate's Life is based in Lawful Experiences before any Outside Task is taken on.

959---The Initiate's Life comprises and abides with the Selection of Experiences that God makes.

969---Initiates must withstand and acquire new skills and traits.

979---Initiates learn to include the Inner Life in the expression and articulation of the Outer Life.

989---What becomes essential in the work of an Initiate is conveying solutions and remedies to God, and placing new options at His right hand for physical and worldly problems.

990---God gives His Initiates the tools they need to complete their missions.

000---Restoring Self-Sufficiency to All the Peoples is Yahweh's immediate Goal. Destroying the People is no part of that Goal, so Earth Changes are minimized and stabilized quickly. All the doctrines that say mankind is in danger from Without are simply mistaken. No one will rain on Yahweh's Parade, and Initiates have nothing to fear.

The Godhead consists of 50 initiated and ascended humans who died with their Perspectives of Integrity intact. They progress to New Levels of Understanding, and move on; and new Ascenders are moved into their Places.

The Godhead relates only to This Planet; each Planet has Its Own Godhead that gradually attrits and is replenished by Those having Experience in the Material and the Subjective Dimensions.

There are no quotations surrounding the Godhead and the Trinity which articulate their Domains of Experience with this Clarity, so None are listed here.

~*~ INSPIRATION ~*~

"I made thee that thou shouldst receive inspiration, not only from the world external to thyself, but inspiration from the members of thy body. My impression upon thee is inspiration; but thou must realize My inspiration, in order to know Me. An idiot holdeth fire in his hand, and it giveth him pain, but yet, he knoweth not the cause, nor whence the origin of the pain. So, also, I come to thee, and give thee inspiration, but thou discernest not Me. Another man discerneth My Presence, and My inspiration. He heareth Me speak; he seeth My Person. Yet, I am with both alike. One man openeth his mouth to speak, and behold, My words come forth. And yet another saith: No man know Jehovih; none have heard Him. One man is sensitive, as a plate for a picture, and he catcheth My Light instantly, and knoweth it is from Me. Another one saith: A sudden thought struck me! But he discernest not whence it came. OAHSPE, Book of Inspiration, Ch. III, v. 14-23.

~*~ 9192 ~*~ I N T I M A C Y ~*~

While enjoying and being open to appropriate participation, what's "appropriate" is what is "safe" and "effective," in Truth.

Intimacy implies that Truth is the on-going process of choice.

It means that everyone is participating; but intimacy do NOT lead--
to acting out when participation doesn't occur.
People who are intimate hope all things.
They endure all things; they never give up.
An investment in Intimacy is not financially profitable;
rather, it's an investment in experience.

FOR WOMEN:
Deal with Awareness. Be open and show up.
A person who is focus gives what she wants to Get.
What is Physical needs to be articulated.
What is Visible relates also to Reason.
It's good to harmonize thoughts and practices.
But Sharing is a Choice that inspires its dealings with its commitment to Love.

FOR MEN:
Devote yourself to what is True. A commitment is a commitment.
Be aware of your gifts [as well as blind spots liabilities].
To intend to give satisfaction, respond with gratitude to what you get.
What's delightful is also profitable if you remain with the options you have.
Who knows what pleasure is possible if you actually acknowledge what's good?
Remember, you are being challenged, not indulged.
Initiate what you want to receive praise for.
Limit your own Getting, so Satiety and Boredom aren't at work.
Thrive Discernment--not Ego.

From Scripture: "So ought husbands to love their wives as they do their own bodies. He who loves his wife is loving himself; for nobody ever hated his own flesh, but one feeds it up and keeps it warm." Eph. 5:28,29.

The PRACTICE OF AROUSAL
-595--What is unpleasant must always be subject to limits. Thus, a Lover would never do anything to hurt or harm the Beloved.
-585--One would never want to initiate what is degrading. Thus, a Lover must be aware of the Beloved's deepest feelings.
-575--Force will always fail. So, Patience is better than force; because it wins out.
-565--But complaining is impossible to deal with, sexually. So, stick with what works, and look for future "opportunities."
-555--What's impossible is impossible. And what's possible is probably available, with tact.
-545--Doubt is very self-defeating and isolating. So, just smile and have a good time, whatever form works.
-535--Getting irate doesn't work. Encouraging Happiness doesn't demand concessions.
-525--Detachment is a prediction of failure. So, respond positively or explain why it won't work out just now.
-515--In any case, humiliation will fail. But being evocative and responsive will create Good Expectations.
-504--Demanding a performance weakens true feelings. It's better to forego a performance than become detached.
-494--Watch out, that the appetite for Comfort isn't actually a distraction from some other issue.
+484--What's certain is that the Feelings wax and wane, whether they come back for you is easy to identify.

~*~ 9993 -- "JUSTIFICATION" UNDER JUDEO-CHRISTIANITY ~*~

Let us harmonize and convey what is Safe and what is Appropriate.

Each Dispensation of YHVH conveys from generation-to-generation for all Time and in memory, for all Eternity.

The purpose of Judiasm is to articulate Justice, Freedom, and Prayer by dealing with the Karma of being immobilized.

The purpose of Christianity is to articulate Fairness by dealing with far-reaching consequences of pollution and disease.

Their task(s) are to suffer for sins of previous generations until their societies are clean and peaceable.

For a Jew, what is involved in his suffering is a realization that exploiting people for their money brings karma, mistrust and dissociation.

For a Christian, what is involved in his suffering is that prosperity and obtaining goods are not Fair to the rest of the people living on the planet.

Both Dispensations learn to cooperate with Diversity, by judging against it until they are brought--literally--to their knees.

The people in the rest of the world provide sufficient Experience for mastery of these Lessons--especially the peoples who are part of no Dispensation at all.

By including all experience we gain Wisdom; effects of experience are obvious to behold.

Observing effects of experience is adopting nothing eternal at all. Effects are temporary in Time.

Adopting God is adopting Adoption.

God's People are always Neglected. God's People are Always Insufficient.

That's Why God has to handle everything for those in relationship to Him.

This is What's Holy, Sacred and Real. Justification is, showing up to overcome karma and limits.

The following quotes (from different Books) illustrate how JUSTIFICATION gets articulated:

"And God said to Moses again, 'You are to say to the sons of Israel, 'YHVH, your fathers' God, Abraham's God, Isaac's God, Jacob's God, has seent me to you'; this is my name forever, and this my identification for generation after generation.' (3:15) And YHVH will pass along to smite the Egyptians, and will see the blood on the lintel and both the jambs, and YHVH will pass over the door and not let the ravager go into your homes to smite. And you shall keep this rite as an institution for yourself and your sons forever; and when you go into the country that YHVH will give you as he promised, you shall keep up this service. (12:23-26) And the sons of Israel shall keep the sabbaths, celebrating the sabbath generation after generation as a perpetual covenant. Between me and the sons of Israel it is a token forever, because YHVH was six days making the heavens and the earth and on the seventh day he left off and rested up.'(31:16-17). The Bible, Book of Exodus [Byington Version]:

"You well know that, while a kindhearted father loves his family as a whole, he so regards them as a group because of his strong affection for each individual member of that family. No longer must you approach the Father in heaven as a child of Israel but as a child of God. As a group, you are indeed the children of Israel, but as individuals, each one of you is a child of God. I have come, not to reveal the Father to the children of Israel, but rather to bring this knowledge of God and the revelation of his love and mercy to the individual believer as a genuine personal experience. The prophets have all taught you that Yahweh cares for his people, that God loves Israel. But I have come among you to proclaim a greater truth, one which many of the later prophets also grasped, that God loves you--every one of you--as individuals. All these generations have you had a national or racial religion; now have I come to give you a personal religion." Urantia Book, paper 145, page 1629, par. 5.

"Forgiveness is the means by which we will remember. Through forgiveness the thinking of the world is reversed. The forgiven world becomes the gate of Heaven, because by its mercy we can at least forgive ourselves. Holding no one prisoner to guilt, we become free. Acknowledging Christ in all our brothers, we recognize His Presence in ourselves. Forgetting all our misperceptions, and with nothing from the past to hold us back, we can remember God. Beyond this, learning cannot go. When we are ready, God Himself will take the final step in our return to Him. See The Course in Miracles, preface, last paragraph.

T H E * K I N G D O M * O F * G O D

We live with the challenges of harmlessness and karma, Being dependent on Grace and remembering that people get what they expect.

The Kingdom of God is for those who want to live harmlessly, constantly correcting and perfecting outcomes.

This implies great effort and focus. The challenge of being harmless is dealing with karmic debts from the past that involve suffering, and yet praising God the while.

Among the brothers and sisters in the Kingdom, one's companions and associates are numerous and unlimited as sands on the beach.

Options and experiences are centered on people, on skills, on events, on conveying Grace to one another--but not on obtaining mere Things.

Giving and Getting are beyond money and beyond price.

The people from among whom YHVH select--His Prophets, Seers, Ministers, Teachers, Workers--predominantly and preeminently--learn how to "share with each other" despite what the rest of the world chooses to do.

THE KINGOM OF GOD is an economic system of sharing in which spiritual and personal values predominate over obtaining personal riches.

THE KINGDOM OF GOD places Autonomy as primary, Community is secondary, Adventure is tertiary, and obtaining is Moot. Experiences and relationship are the focus of the Kingdom--not acquisitiveness.

Community: People Get what they Select. The following quotes illustrate what has been said about THE KINGDOM

"Therefore said he unto them, 'The harvest is great, but the labourers are few: Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. Go your ways; behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes; and salute no man by the way. And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house.' And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it; if not, it shall turn to you again. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give; for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. And into whatsoever city ye enter and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you. The Bible, King James Version, Luke 10:2-8.

[To the disciple Andrew, Yeshua said]: 'You have forsaken everything, not only to follow me, but to be ordained as ambassadors of the kingdom. Already have you had several years' experience, and you know that the Father whose kingdom you proclaim will not forsake you. You have dedicated your lives to the ministry of the kingdom; therefore be not anxious or worried about the things of the temporal life, what you shall eat, nor yet for your body, what you shall wear. The welfare of the soul is more than food and drink; the progress in the spirit is far above the need of raiment. When you are tempted to doubt the sureness of your bread, consider the ravens; they sow not neither reap, they have no storehouses or barns, and yet the Father provides food for every one of them that seeks it. And of how much more value are you than many birds! Besides, all of your anxiety or fretting doubts can do nothing to supply your material needs. Which of you by anxiety can add a handbreadth to your stature or a day to your life? Since such matters are not in your hands, why do you give anxious thought to any of these problems? Consider the lilies, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is cut down and cast into the fire, how much more shall he clothe you, the ambassadors of the heavenly kingdom. O you of little faith! when you whole-heartedly devote yourselves to the proclamation of the gospel of the kingdom, you should not be of doubtful minds concerning the support of yourselves or the families you have forsaken. If you are only believing disciples, you must earn your own bread and contribute to the sustenance of all who teach and preach and heal. If you are anxious about your bread and water, where are you different from the nations of the world who so diligently seek such necessities? Devote yourselves to your work, believing that both the Father and I know that you have need of all these things. Let me assure you, once and for all, that, if you dedicate your lives to the work of the kingdom, all your real needs shall be supplied. Seek the greater thing, and the lesser will be found therein; ask for the heavenly, and the earthly will be included. The shadow is certain to follow the substance." The Urantia Book, paper 165, page 1823.

Love is the Form of Attraction that Honors Initiatives
The form of love that elevates
also gives Acknowledgment to the Infinite.
It encourages for Encouragement's sake--alone--
and it profits Giver and Receiver alike.
Love and Honor both demand great Effort;
yet Love also conveys an Expectation
that whatever a person initiates in its Light
is probably All Right, anyway.

8889 ~* L O V E -- as C H A S T I T Y *~

898--The objective of Chastity is to convey What Works for the Long-term.
888--When what's going on in the Present is seen as Needing New Light [Truth];
878--when what was seen by Others as a point-of-view, the Chaste see as an Issue.
868--this is the Perspective that acts on God's Will.
858--Initiatives that arise out of Chastity evoke Love where Trust is operating.
But where Distrust is operating, Chastity evokes Rage, Hatred and Violence.
848--Chastity is a form of Leadership in which a person Stands Alone.
838--A Chaste one's Competence comes from preparation, not from Experience.
828--A Free Will attached to Knowledge can confront the World with a Great Truth.
818--Harmony is Good; but Diversity stands in the Light of Truth and the Sight of God.

The Bible says, 'Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.' Scriptural account of Joseph and his brothers and of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego highlight the Virtue of Chastity.

American Sikh poetry not only describes Chastity, it articulates is clearly.

"Many speak of courage; speaking cannot give it.
It's in the face of death that we must live it.
When things are down and darkest, that's when we stand tallest.
Until the last star falls, we won't give an inch at all.
Stand as the Khalsa, strong as steel, steady as stone.
Give our lives to God and Guru, mind and soul, breath and bone."

Daughters of Khalsa, in your strength our future lies.
Give our children fearless minds ...
To see the world through the Guru's eyes. [snip]

The Book of Mormon speaks of Chastity [Jacob 2:28] strictly in sexual terms: "For I, the Lord God, delight in the chastity of women. And whoredoms are an abomination before me; thus saith the Lord of Hosts."

The Course in Miracles illumines CHASTITY in Chapter 3 when it defines Innocence as-- "Innocent or true perception means that you never misperceive and always see truly. More simply, it means that you never see what does not exist, and always see what does. If nothing but truth exists, right-minded seeing cannot see anything but perfection. I have said that only what God creates or what you create with the same Will has any real existence. This, then, is all the innocent can see. They do not suffer from distorted perception. [p. 38]."

Chastity bestows Certainty which may be seen as inappropriate by other points-of-view. The Course writes, "The Bible tells you to know yourself, or to be certain. Certainty is always of God. When you love someone you have perceived him as he is, and this makes it possible for you to know him. . . . Knowledge comes from the altar within and is timeless because it is certain." [p. 41]. ... Further, someone who is chaste is not afraid of the future. 'The questioning mind perceives itself in time, and therefore looks for future answers. The closed mind believes the future and the present will be the same [p. 40].'

CONSERVATION is Chaste

~*~ Conservation and Preservation of Gaia is the form of chastity in which this Planetary Body is seen as Holy.

THOUGHT CONTROL is Chaste

~*~ Yahweh of Hosts says, "Sovereignty is Mine. I establish the Kingdom of God on Earth."

What we can do until that Kingdom is set up is this: provide for widows and orphans in their distress; and keep ourselves without spot from the world, spoke James at chapter 1:27.

Keeping without spot is not easy. From the human perspective, chastity has to do with appreciating Truth IN OUR HANDS--especially with respect to Glut and Ease, Violence and Perfidy, instant Satiety and all their Manifestations and Presumptions.

Thought Control is a form of Chastity which conforms a person's mind to a point-of-view. And it is Good, that people want to govern their thoughts. Yet Thought Control becomes a problem when a person limits his/her experiences to the extent that no meaningful learning is taking place.

The primary Effects of limiting experiences are to limit an individual's Wisdom, Understanding, Growth, and Adaptation. Yahweh's Witnesses have been accused of practicing Thought Control; yet it is Yahweh God who defines and limits the Experiences their believers pray for, and get. What is God's Will for each soul is experiences that articulate what is Holy, Sacred, Real, Active and Necessary for the Evolution of [Cosmic--in the Heavens] Thought.

What is true is that Peoples' Experiences ARE limited--by Cause and effect [called Karma]; by angelic contacts [or the lack thereof]; and by ego/personality traits [that deny the Will of God]. However, God's expectation is that Justice, Fairness and Cooperation are sufficient to deal with All Peoples in All circumstances; AND that reckoning, reasoning and intuition are sufficient to deal with all ideas from any source.

Thought Control occurs when people are turned aside from dealing with or having congress with people different from themselves. Thought Control says,
"Ideas are Dangerous in and of themselves." It says, "Only read or listen to what we tell you is already safe."

What Yahweh says is this, "Diversity is the experience I have given you. It is your school. You must govern the effects of information, just as you govern the effects of food and water. Polluted water and polluted information are the same thing."

"Pornography is a form of pollution that directly affects Innocence and the ability to be Chaste. If we were serious about getting rid of pornography, we would not indulge violence and wink at corruption, would we?

"Effects of violence and corruption terminate young lives. Yet how many of us turn a blind eye to deaths of young children and do nothing to contain the spread of exploitation and evil?

"What is good is that we should learn, Life Has Limits. Those who do not exercise limits live short lives and regret the loss by neglect of "good" experience.

"The fact the US Constitution permits both political advocacy AND pornography means we cannot confront or attack pornography without also attacking our own form of Freedom of Speech and Assembly.

"This is good, for we are learning to distinguish between freedom and license. Naturally, those having wisdom are always in the tiny minority; and the majority are always weak or stupefied. Therefore, a republican form of government will always present sufficient corruption to educate peoples' discernment about the frailty of operating off mere "preferences."

"But on the whole, there is not a need to fear others' presence or others' ideas. All people and all thoughts are experiences to test our mastery of ourselves. By permitting exposure to dogma, doctrines, matters and abstract thoughts of others, we test our ability to acquire skill, to adapt from child-Ego to inclusive-Adult, to articulate Experience."

Further, someone who is chaste has no need to be afraid of the future. 'The questioning mind perceives itself in time, and therefore looks for future answers. The closed mind believes the future and the present will be the same [Course in Miracles, p. 40].'

All of us must learn to discriminate between what is popular and what is sufficient. Diversity does not present easy answers, or a united front, or a clear way ahead. The play of the yin/yang of opposites is at work. Why not merely use it to become wise in the ways that God is wise?

~*~ 6790 -:- S E L E C T I N G * H A P P I N E S S ~*~

The people who get happiness are the ones who Select Chastity.

Chastity, working from cause and effect, produces good outcomes.

People who live with good outcomes have little need for prophecy because all their needs are met.

People who do not select Chastity, do not get happiness, because Karma is working and they get back ten times what they sow in deeds.

Thus it is that people suffer, because they've been left with the idea that Chastity is irrelevant or stupid or silly.

Relieving bad outcomes comes with redemption, faith and charity; but without chastity the peoples' lives continue broken.

Although things may be eased somewhat by effects of the other virtues, Repentence, to work completely, must include chastity.

The fact is, chastity is not understood with any clarity.

"Glamorization of sin" working against chastity serves to strengthen resistance of the Good, to sin.

~*~ 8777 -:- P E A C E ~*~

Peace implies that what is working is Justice.
Justice implies constant correction and perfection.
Justice operates from Clarity [Truth] that is an effort.
Life that is Challenged does not promote Ease.
Thus Peace is a challenge, not an indulgence. Peace copies God.

From the Hebrew Scriptures --
"Call at the top of your voice, do not hold in, lift your voice like a ram-horn, andtell my people of their crimes and the house of Jacob of their sins. And theyresort to me day by day and like to know my courses; like a nation that had done the right thing and not deserted its God's law, they ask me for judgments for the right, they like to feel that God is near. 'How was it we fasted and you did not see it, we denied ourselves the gratification of appetites and you did not know it."

"Here on your fast day you engage in business and drive all your hands; here you fast wrangling and tussling and striking with lawless fist--you do not fast at present to make your voice heard on high.

"Is the fast that I choose like this, a day for men to deny themselves the gratification of appetites? is it to bend one's head over like a rush and make a bed of a sackcloth and ashes? will you call this a fast, and a day acceptable to YHVH?

"Would not this be a fast I would choose: to open up unlawful durance and undo the ties of yoke-bows, and let men held on trumped-up charges go free and snap the bows of every yoke?

"Would it not be to share your piece of bread with a hungry man and take homeless wretches into your house, when you see a naked man to cover him and not be unregardful of your flesh and blood?

"Then your light would break like the dawn and your wounds will quickly grow whole, and the rightness of your cause would go before you and YHVH's glory would bring up your rear; then you would call and YHVH would answer, you would shout and he would say 'Here I am.'" The prophet Isaiah in The Bible, chapter 58, Byington version.

"There is in the mind of God a plan which embraces every creature of all his vast domains, and this plan is an eternal purpose of boundless opportunity, unlimited progress, and endless life. And the infinite treasures of such a matchless career are yours for the striving." The Urantia Book, p. 365, par. 3.

~*~

"Let truth be what it is. Do not intrude upon it, do not attack it, do not interrupt its coming. Let it encompass every situation and bring you peace. Not even faith is asked of you, for truth asks nothing. Let it enter, and it will call forth and secure for you the faith you need for peace. But rise you not against it, for against your opposition it cannot come.

"Would you not want to make a holy instant of every situation? For such is the gift of faith, freely given wherever faithlessness is laid aside, unused. And then the power of the Holy Spirit's purpose is free to use instead. This power instantly transforms all situations into one sure and continuous means for establishing His purpose, and demonstrating its reality." Course in Miracles, ch. 17, p. 370.

8987 -- R E D E M P T I O N

Yahweh says: "Men failed to be Law-FULL by My Holy Law that gave Health and Prosperity; and so I set it out, that he must be redeemed by Blood. And as it turns out, it is the Blood of My Son Omega [known as the Christ, Yeshua, Jesus to some] that redeems willing mankind, those who consent to the Golden Rule, the piety, and charity and Justice."

And so it follows that those who love God's work and His Vision for the future live by what is Lawful and Harmless in His Sight: "Do unto others as we would have others do unto us" "Keep without spot from the world" "Alleviate the tribulation of orphans and widows." And yet this is not difficult, even if it is not EASE-y.

~*~ 8789--The Commitment that Two People Make ... Marriage ~*~

Marriage cannot prevail, that exists to satisfy long-held internal unmet needs. Let's think about this.

In a society in which everyone is under siege, the temptation is to buddy-up, just to survive, just to "make it through the day [or night]."

Marriage is a mutual--Lawful--covenant relationship. When people who consider themselves Righteous and Lawful enter into it, it is a relationship that demands some grown-up skills:

• 181--an understanding of one's own internal well-being and health. Without such an understanding, they will break down under stress and/or impose great burdens of care upon their mate.
  
• 192--an approach to Life and Lifestyle that is thrifty and attentive to essentials. Without such an approach, they might dictate a destructive and wasteful life course.
  
• 202--persistence. Without persistence, they will give up when Changes are demanded of them.
  
• 212--an awareness of what appropriate dealings consist and/or don't consist of. Without manners, they will offend their mate, their children, and their community.
  
• 222--the ability to commit to a decision. Without commitment, without a STAKE in the relationship, no sense of "family" occurs.
  
• 232--the desire to "belong". Without embracing belonging--to oneself, to family, to a community-- a relationship takes on changes that empty it of all its meaning.
  
• 242--a fair sense of Discipline. Without a Fair sense of discipline, one's mate suffers from Intrusion and exploitation without any awareness on their part.
  
• 252--the desire to match responses. Without a desire to "keep count" of reciprocating, of quid pro quo and "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours," the relationship deteriorates into a rut and boring routine.
  
• 262--an effort to be very Clear with each other. Clarity about what evokes Gratitude and about "putting your heads together" are essential glue that hold your Spirits together in Unison.
  
• 272--understand each other's needs. Without meeting each other's TRUE needs--whether sexually, socially, financially, or interpersonally, then the Love that was expected gives in to Disappointment.

A NOTE---
A relationship with God WILL help your relationship with others. This is because God's Spirit assists in deriving Truth, God's Will assists by energizing your bodies, and God's Presence enables the Fruits of the Spirit to develop in both parties to the marriage.

And so it IS.

From The Bible:

"Those who fear YHVH are intimate with him and his covenant is to be made known to them. ... A capable wife who can find? Her value is far more than that of corals. In her the heart of her owner has put trust, and there is no gain lacking. She has rewarded him with good, and not bad, all the days of her life. She has sought wool and linen, and she works at whatever is the delight of her hands. She has proved to be like the ships of a merchant. From far away she brings in her food. She also gets up while it is still night, and gives food to her household and the prescribed portion to her young women. She has considered a field and proceeded to obtain it; from the fruitage of her hands she has planted a vineyard. She has girded her hips with strength, and she invigorates her arms. She has sensed that her trading is good; her lamp does not go out at night. Her hands she has thrust out to the distaff, and her own hands take hold of the spindle. Her palm she has stretched out to the afflicted one, and her hands she has thrust out to the poor one. She does not fear for her household because of the snow, for all her household are clothes with double garments." Ps:25:14; 31:10-21.

"Love is patient, kind; love is not jealous; love does not show off, does not get insulted, does not shock people, does not look out for its own interests, does not get provoked, does not count its injuries, is not glad at a wrong deed but glad to have the truth made glad, stands everything, believes everything, hopes everything, holds out through everything." I Cor. 13:4-8

"A good and noble man may be consummately in love with his wife but utterly unable to pass a satisfactory written examination on the psychology of marital love. Another man, having little or no love for his spouse, might pass such an examination most acceptably. The imperfection of the lover's insight into the true nature of the beloved does not in the least invalidate either the reality or sincerity of his love. Urantia Book, Paper 103.8, p. 1140.

~*~ REDEEMED LIFESTYLE ~*~

How Peoples practice their lifestyles will either thrive a land or strip it barren.

Harmlessness works as a form of Clarity that looks at Effects and Outcomes.

What is Just is that every person's physical and spiritual needs must be met.

What is Fair is that every person must bear his or her share of the Work.

What is Necessary is that Peoples must look out for each other without profitting, because money itself is a very expensive and extravagant tool.

That implies that people must become aware of each other's Necessities and deficiencies.

Moreover, most people will have to confront the decision to which Community to attach, because it is very difficult to be totally self-sufficient in isolation.

No one will experience the redemption of living simply who doesn't actively seek to build and be part of community.

There is nothing automatic about building community, and it takes a lifetime of devotion to bring one into being.

~*~ 9994 --"RIGHTNESS" IS EXPRESSED AS SACRED EFFECTS ~*~

What Does God Hope To Gain By the Salvation of Human Lives and Memories?

866---The function humans need to fill is to guide and adapt their Goals to Spirit direction.

663---Spirit Direction is a learned skill, not instinctive nor based entirely on Reason.

360---Seeing Coherence in All Reality forms a Way to find God in what looks like Chaos.

060---What appears chaotic must be articulated as Prayer, so that God can deal with it.

070---Sensing what's Real and reckoning what's Fair serve only as Perspectives from whichto operate.

080---One must learn to detect the Line that Justice takes through what's Fair and what's Real.

091---Life has patterns, but they must not become carved into Stone. Instead, the Initiate transcends patterns--family, culture, star signs, archetypes and roles.

101---What works is Inner Discernment of the significance of the Outer World.

111---What is felt is Safe is also what is Appropriate to move on.

121---Physical Life is about dealing with Listening, with Awareness, with Intuition. Everything else is mere distractions and noise that lead to more Chaos.

131---Physical Life is about being Open to Trying Things Out, just for the experience.

141---Physical Life is about being Whole-souled, focused and engaged in Life, not merely watching.

151---Each person must bear his/her Gifts with Grace and produce Fruits in due season.

161---Physical Life is about articulating one's experiences, Inner and Outer.

171---Each person must look to find his/her own Understanding, own Reasons, own Judgments.

181---What's Good produces harmony; what's bad produces obsessions, guilt and harm.

192---Thinking itself is either a Good Practice or a Harmful Practice, depending on where it leads.

202---Participation and sharing are always Choices which present themselves.

212---Participation is easier when one is already aware of what comprises 'appropriate' dealings.

222---Commitments have a powerful effect on one's life; so they must not be taken lightly.

232---The commitment to Love is not based in Conditions; Love endures All Things.

~*~ SALVATION'S ELEMENTS ~*~

Salvation is an acquired characteristic; it is not inborn.

Salvation is a point-of-view that ebbs and flows.

A person has to take it and run with it, as in a relay race.

Salvation represents Standing in the Sight of God.

So long as the person conforms to God's Will, s/he retains that Standing.

Articulating Salvation is simply living a Life in God's View.

Life evolves. Sometimes individuals evolve with it; sometimes they give up.

God loves them either way.

Salvation has been MisUnderstood.

People think that SoulS who get Saved are even those who practice sin.

If a person is practicing Sin or Evil, Salvation does not help them.

What Salvation means is that their Memories are Saved--in God's Memory.

If the memories are Saved of a practicing criminal, then what does GOD REMEMBER?

On Resurrection, that one will remember how to commit crimes, and will do it again.

Hell is the place where all memories of Crimes, Sin and Evil are forgotten.

Hell is not knowing who you are [or were], so you can Start Over Fresh.

Hell is memories of Crimes, Sins and Evil deleted, and starting off with a new fresh file disk.

Hell is not bad. Lack of recognition of who you were is not bad.

What serves God's Purpose to evolve Thought is Fundamental: God deletes bad memories,

So stop trying to save all your criminals. Let them go.

God will erase all their memories so they start over Fresh--

not burdened with guilt and evil strategies from the Past.

Let Evil Go. Let Evildoers go. Let Sin go. Let Sinners go.

God will correct these matters if you do not perpetuate problems

by 'trying to save their Souls' this time, as if failure this time means failure forever.

This is not so. God loves All the Souls, even those who practice sin,

for the Good they also DO. Everyone does some Good. It is sufficient.

~*~ TEMPERING ONE'S TEMPER ~*~

All my profanities will be transmuted
to Holiness [in both the Physical and Cosmos]
when I allow God to adapt my natural response
so I don't add to the problem at hand.

When I feel myself freaking out,
that is a good time to remain silent.
It is better to be silent and be thought a fool
than speak and remove all doubt.

And before I have one negative thing to say,
let me place three positive comments
in front of my issue or complaint.
God and People will put up with me a lot easier
if I follow this Doctrine.

And if I shall receive the Fulfillment of my dreams,
then I must say, 'Please' and 'Thank you' for
each and every Step I can take;
for every Blessing that I receive, and
for the Joy that comes with Gratitude itself."

~*~ 93.94.95 -- VALIDATION of ONE'S PHYSICAL LIFE ~*~

Three lifestyles--Anomalous, Simple Faith and Abide-with-Favor [Law-full] provide sufficient justification for a soul at death to be "saved" [the memories stored]. A person following one of these ways of living is probably responding to a type of spiritual direction.

Perhaps you have already noticed these archetypes in the people whom you know. Naturally, they have not existed by accident, rather by God’s desire to look fairly at experiences of diverse peoples.

---

95.75 Abide with Favor -:- the Agnostic, Islamic, Jew, Theist

People who are willing to abide with Favor ["Holy Law"] already have a strong attachment to Yahweh which is beyond reason. Usually, it is a long-standing Karmic attachment; and it is most noticeable because a person who abides with favor always stands out from his natural family and friends as a real kook. That’s because the characteristics that make for gentle human life and the characteristics that make a good prophet are not compatible. "Favor" in this case, means "challenge," not an indulgence.

Any person who is by nature a conformist will never make it as a Law-abiding prophet because what prophecy is about is telling the world what Yahweh wants to say, without regard for how people happen to like it or whether they want to hear it.

God’s prophets must be highly or even, over-socialized, so they can speak with a level of clarity and tact that their audience will detect as Spirit-driven. The matter of Integrity is always at issue, because prophets simply do not take material matters very seriously in the first place, in the second place, or even in the third place. They are usually in a lot of hot water wherever they go, for not wanting to go along with the usual programs, rules or ways.

We chuckle over this and it fits our own experience. It is harsh to be one of God's own, because there are always many more claimants than there are "genuine articles." Cheap imitations are a dime a dozen, but the one who really listens to God is the one who will put up with anything, yes, anything, for the privilege of doing this work.

Abiding with Favor is tough. It’s not fun, it’s not easy, and it’s not simple because the Almighty doesn’t care whether a candidates likes it, is comfortable with it, or it’s convenient. It simply is the way it is, take it or leave it. And this is how learning prophecy works for each Individual who takes it on. Taking on a responsibility for prophecy can produce a justified status for an individual or for a whole community. This means, the residents' memories are saved, and God's Will regulates his, her, or their attachments. Think about that. It means, the individual or the community relinquishes their Free Will, for the time they serve.

The Diet that an Initiate consumes is a lacto-vegetarian diet of local fresh foods, grains, beans, nuts, fruits and vegetables and dairy products; eat no flesh foods or eggs (home raised) except on the Sabbath, period. National or personal holidays are no exception.

Because Clarity of Thought is essential, no drugs are permitted; wine or beer are permissible on the Sabbath; caffeine is discouraged; nicotine is forbidden. Due to pollution and disease, blood and blood products are avoided, as well as placenta products, animal residues, and drugs designed to render a stupor or death including general anesthesia.

They wear black and/or white clothing only, except on the Sabbath, when solid colors and embroidery are suitable as ornamentation. Hair and/or beard is uncut except when in service to a political entity. Hair is covered or a hat is worn when the Individual shows up in their Community Role.

Initiates do not work for money; work only for God and accept the income which results from that work, in Community. They find a need and fill it rather than accept employment with rules attached.

If a person is married when commissioned as Abiding in Favor, they will have no additional children unless that is their directed path. If the person is single, they work toward autonomy with companionship, or they permit God to arrange for a marriage-companion, who must also follow the Abiding with Favor commitment.

Expectations around care of young children and of aged parents are to be included in the prayers and responsibilities of Prophets, so long as these responsibilities exist. Expect that the active ministry of God will begin, however, when these other responsibilities have naturally subsided.

The Will of the Almighty God is that all Beings--material, subjective, and cosmic--shall enjoy one day of rest out of seven: no working, no cooking, no studying, no buying, no intense discussions, just rest and relaxation. You can go to church or get married on any working day, because preparing for and attending church or a wedding is attending to business. However, a meditation, funeral, prayer- or healing-service IS Sabbath-appropriate.

It is expected that Initiates will associate with communities which likewise practice simplicity, integrity, and autonomy, for the purpose of learning cooperation, generosity, justice with mercy and compassion. But they do not need to tithe, just give as money arises. Receiving mercy requires that the abiding with favor individuals remain neutral in wars and politics.

The work of centering one’s character is recognized as Just. Regulating what happens to arise to produce a consistently centered mental and physical state of consciousness is an appropriate practice for Abiding with Favor.

Sustaining the primary attachment to God is required so that all guidance and discipline comes from God directly. This is accomplished by setting aside 2-3 hours each day for prayer, meditating, walks in the woods, primarily in silence. Their relations among church communities will naturally reflect conflicts of interest and disrupt what is considered "normal" doctrines. This is good; it fosters self-examination.

Those abiding with favor are judged by the standards of all three judgment paradigms (Effects, Law and Mercy) together and separately. God is the God of Law and Order, so the Individual’s work must conform to and promote God’s Will. When the individual successfully sorts out his/her integrity consistently, this assignment becomes a cosmic one. Usually, by the time a person gets to this junction, he or she has been prepared well enough mentally that failure is not contemplated nor expected.

There are many abiding with favor candidates who have never moved beyond this point of following directions from God to full Ascender status. Most candidates tend to become stabilized as monastics. God’s Mercy permits them to keep their status even though it has become clear that they will not initiate a move beyond this point in their development. They often have become self-righteous, a characteristic shared with the angels; and the discipline of righteousness becomes a head trip and lacks heart energy. Defaulted initiates serve to articulate self-rightness and evil.

The experience of hyper-religiosity has no purpose. Religion that comprises form and ritual has no meaning. Only when ritual also symbolizes practice does it take on cosmic value.

94.74 Simple Faith Individual

Simple Faith individuals do whatever is sanctioned in their Faith Community with respect to food, drugs, alcohol, caffeine and tobacco. What conforms to the Community's doctrines and rules is what is Holy for fundamentalists. Where reason conflicts with doctrine, the matter becomes grist the the Church to decide, not for the individual to decide on his or her own.

They wear whatever the Community finds to be appropriate; hair and beard follow customs and styles, but head is not shaved clean, usually covered by a hat.

Many fundamentalists work for money to support self and family in a trade which does not degrade nor take advantage of others, and tithe to the Church to support its social outreach program.

A person of Simple Faith marries for life in the faith, as their Church finds appropriate and as they so choose. Often there are no provisions for divorce; freedom to use birth control or unite homosexuals, if those practices have been accepted and sanctioned by the Church and the Community of the Faithful, are options for those individuals with gender issues who want to practice a reverent form of family stability.

Family Expectations around the care of young children and of aged parents are included in the prayers and responsibilities of those of Simple Faith, so long as these responsibilities exist. Expect that many a Ministry of God will begin, however, when these other responsibilities have naturally subsided, because effective Ministers cannot serve Family and Congregation at once.

They observe a Sunday 12:01 a.m. to Monday 12:01 Rest Day, regardless when they attend their Church services.

Simple Faith people have Integrity which makes them favorable candidates for public political office; yet, their positions on issues may differ markedly, and they will take sides in controversies and wars.

Simple Faith individuals find a process in their worship group that restores erring people to their senses or releases them to the World outside. A person may go from church to church to find respite; yet if s/he is released from many successive churches for reprehensible behavior, that one will eventually remain outside the Faith due to being shunned.

---

93.73 Anomalous Individuals

Self-disciplined and Spirit-led individuals who attach--due to their interest in Causes-and-Effects. As Prophets, Gurus and Teachers, they are being guided by angels. They are vegetarians or not, work for peace and for the articulation of disputes and conflicts, which means, they stir things up.

They have a common point-of-view, centering on Agnosticism or a Natural Religion like Buddhism.

Anomalies often utilize natural psychedelics and suffer from their effects. They wear whatever the community finds to be appropriate, usually black and white, with or without tatoos, studs and chains. They tend to be hardy-looking, quite often shaving their heads instead of their beard. They may dye their hair any number of colors, for effect.

858---What brings praise is being able to initiate good ideas that are also workable.

868---Their function works from a single point-of-view, which they articulate in great detail. The Anomaly uses relationships as appropriate to promote and complete the work he/she is commissioned to do. Families are sacred; angels, likewise. The Anomaly then, promotes family ties over all other considerations. His families work to regulate and focus all family members on ego processes of headship and problem-solving based on dominance and submission.

878---They adapt to associates, and the context in which they live affects their decisions rather than greatly imposing themselves on others. They adapt.

888---Those who complete what they start are the ones who become leaders of spiritual movements. Spiritual teachings and religious practices of Anomalies will vary widely; however, they will be individualistic and ego-oriented in practice. Iconoclastic individuals are often apolitical, because angelic doctrines teach that war is failure of ego to keep the peace, not a continual struggle between Right and Wrong.

899---When their inner work is complete, they become candidates for ascension to Cosmic service as teachers and gurus, adopted by their students. Judging for himself that his work supports Good, the Anomaly does not work with anyone except on terms which promote ego. The Anomaly gives to the poor, the sick, and the wretched anonymously, not through established churches, a defining characteristic, usually focused on replacing social processes corrupted or inactive. Perhaps the work is military justice, crime detection or enforcement, profane art, music, law, technology or philosophy. Usually, people don't mess with Anomalies.

909---Then the world applies its Judgment to them and their life and teachings. Autonomous individuals are judged by the effects of their judgment experiences in the world, whether the sum total of their good outweighs the sum total of the bad, but their memories are not saved; they are not justified.

5338 -- WOMEN OF THE SACRED HEART

God's "women of the sacred heart" point the way to fulfillment of promises and Covenants Yahweh made and makes:

• that the planet will be stewarded competently [the Adamic Covenant]
• that all the nations will bless and educate themselves by means of the children of God [the Abramic Covenant]
• that what's Law-FULL is what is commonsense, workable and Just [the Mosaic Covenant]
• that Blind Justice is worse than Chaos [the Covenant of Grace]
• and that those ruining the Earth will--in their turn--get ruined and dispersed [Christ's covenant with the Churches in Revelation, as spoken at Rev. 11:18].

5339 -- Alpha the Holy Spirit prefigures the "Professional Woman"--

People don't realize that the name Alpha, as in the Alpha and the Omega, is Feminine. Alpha is a Spirit-Entity part of the Trinity, and a Person, only-begotten of Yahweh.

Yahweh has both Masculine and Feminine characteristics; thus, it fell to Alpha to be Feminine--that is, to occupy a negatively-polarized, doubt-full, open Will, but enjoying a positively-polarized dominant Mind, somewhat the opposite of Yahweh Himself.

In this respect, Alpha is a full complement of Yahweh, although She only occupies the Cosmic and Subjective Dimensions, but not the Physical nor Objective Dimensions in which humanity dwells.

Alpha is suited to asking the question, "Well, how much >IS< there, that has materialized?" And so She parses what is True out of all Subjective experiences and informs Her Father.

Alpha's Role in Yahweh's Order is parsing Physical Truth from Subjective Truth--what has manifest out of what has not yet manifested, so Physical Truth, what is Holy, known; what is Sacred, known; what is Active, known; and what is Necessary, known. It was She who inspired the Course in Miracles.

Alpha's Truth serves to illumine the Path that God's Will takes, to Joy. She is given to Feminine Thoughts and Roles and Hopes when not focused on Truth, and She wanted you to know that there is no relinquishment of Integrity or Being Whole by the activity of Working at a godly Devotion whole-Souled.

The Trinity steers this Planet toward Galactic Citizenship because Alpha points the way and Yahweh steers the Rudder, but there is no looking back and no regrets over lacking what you term "Freedom."

There will be Time Sufficient for THAT--for Alpha--when the work of the Omega--the Christ--and the Will of God are Done. So be it. Amen.

---

5342 -- Mary, the Mother of Yeshua is the Devotional Mother of the Church--

She prefigures all submissiive and obedient women who have devoted their lives to doing good, inside and outside organized religion; to the Ministry of Miracles, to the Ministry of Rosary Meditations, and Ministries of the Poor, the Convents and Hospitals for the Poor.

Mary's investiture into idol-worship comes with the recognition She deals with the most primitive races and cultures in humanity at this time (and only in that realization) due to the fact that primitive women do not respond to abstractions.

APPENDIX ONE

~*~ LIVING BY Holy Mosaic LAW PRINCIPLES ~*~

9890--Reckoning Law and Maintaining Law DIFFER

Reckoning the Law implies a relationship between Law and Good Effects.

Maintaining the Law demands new relationships built on Trust that must find reasons to hold the Law Sacred.

Law is always corrupted by "traditions" not contained nor implied in Laws Moses gave.

What the Jews DID was justify preferences over centuries of experience, by a judicial process that became sacro-sanct as if from God.

What they should have done was infer what is Holy [Fundamental to Life], Sacred [Harmless], Real [of Value] and Active in each generation anew.

YHVH will now set the Law straight, so What is Lawful and What is Holy is the Same Thing.

In the matter of the Sabbath: The Purpose of the Sabbath is the Rest of God, not merely the Rest of men.

When human preparations take on the scope of 'a production' with a 'countdown,' then Sabbath is being staged for appearances.

This is not appropriate. The Sabbath calls for Simplicity and for the Experience of Simple Joys.

All Effects that mimic Rest are just as pointless as the work they replace.

Two meat dinners per week are sufficient to strengthen the people and occasion gladness without diminishing the Women's Rest. Otherwise, meals can be very simple and straightforward.

A simple supper of roasted meat and steamed greens with a sidedish of beans or fruit is all that needs to occur for Friday Sabbath.

Bread is for meatless meals, not to be combined with meat at all. Put down elaborations, and let Women Rest, not just the Men.

A Kiddush can be composed each week anew from the Knowledge of the People without repeating the same menu over and over.

Let the children speak their knowledge of God and Glory in Safety. The People whose God is YHVH can spare the Time to let their children sing.

The matter of Shul: Shul is the delight of YHVH, because therein He sees the thoughts of His people together and in one place.

Let Shul Stand. Yet, use a modern translation of Scripture so learning the ancient and foreign language does not take up years of your time.

A sermon [or homily] should continue to balance Wisdom and Text with an up-to-date Application to personal, communal and societal concerns.

Do not charge for services. Rather, let a meeting of the People produce Volunteers [in twos or threes] who willingly pay each obligation the Community incurs. That way, all tithes go to the poor, the fatherless and the foreigner among you who happens to be in need, and the Congregation never suffers from Glut or Luxury.

In the matter of Sacrifices: What is Lawful is that First Fruits are given to God.

What is Holy is that God gives the First Fruits to the Poor, to the Fatherless, the Widow, the Sick, the Outcast--NOT to the coffers of the already-fat who are priestly and prosperous.

Let them fast this day, and others enjoy God's Gifts. Let the Shoe Be On The Other Foot, when the Lonely get YHVH's bounty FIRST.

In the matter of Kashrut: Kashrut teaches Compassion. Yet fish and fowl are also meat, and need to be included in Kashrut, not left out.

Ritual slaughter teaches the Sanctity of Life. Let your animals never sense the Fear of Death; and only kill for sufficient meat for Sabbath [Friday night and Saturday noon] meals.

You must exclude all 'bottom-feeders' from your selections of clean fish, due to pollution and weakening of the Kinds. Flounder and wild ducks are becoming too dangerous for eating.

Although Technology may in other respects fix the problem of food and sanitation, now having one set of dishes that is GLASS [for everyday] and one set of dishes that is China [for your Sabbath meat meals] is sufficient.

Iron pots are for cooking grains and dairy [which are thereby embued with needed heme iron]; steel pots are for cooking meat [which are sanitary and easy to kasher].

Let your children [until age 21] have meat and milk on the Sabbath, milk with grains the rest of the week.

In the matter of Attire: No Chaste or Lawful person cuts their hair or beard, as a sign on their countenance of their Covenant relationship.

But if the practice of sin leads to being cut off [being shunned], then that one's braid is cut off also, as a sign to the nations.

Head coverings serve to identify a person's Role, an Activity, a Safety Measure for long hair, or an Event. Lack of a Covering also alerts Sentinals in a Community, that NOT everyone present has a Role to fill.

But FREE WILL is also present for the freedom of motion that comes with the breeze and the rain and the wind in one's hair. Let not dogma or doctrine dominate over commonsense when people are at play and rest.

What is also Lawful is that tzit tzit remind the People of their Existence as Lawful Jews. Let All the People wear the tzit tzit, not just the men. Let All the People dress simply, not copying the styles of the nations.

Let All the People adopt natural fabrics and colors, and forego polluting dyes and bleaches.

Let the Priests not injure the people by wearing what's Holy [and extravagant] but allowing our people to repudiate what's Holy with chemical dyes that destroy the water-table.

If tefillin and phylacteries serve to focus a man on composing his prayers, then they harm nothing.

In the matter of Prayer: Formal, fixed times for prayers bless God; but the words don't come from the Heart, of what value are they? Take NOT your services out of Books. Let each leader or facilitator compose the Poetry that operates the Service, from the Wisdom of the Holy Spirit, anew.

Morning and evening prayers and Listening bring each Person back to the Presence of God. This is Good. Anyone can read a prayer; mere Reckoning is working. But to compose a prayer--from one's own Sacred Perspective, from one's own Work Archetype, from one's own Experience, from one's own Feelings--this composition demands Inspiration, Reasoning and Skill to be worth listening to.

Let People work from Reason and not mere Reckoning of rules and procedures. Let YHVH hear the True Nature of the People, not mere words of the Past.

Let the men lead Prayer in Shul by their own Composition and Voice. Let the women lead Prayer at home [even in the presence of their husband] by their own Composition and Voice also.

Let Law-full People pray outright to YHVH, needing or having no Intermediary.

Because you are a Holy Nation, not a community of Sinners, your communities must carry the Karma of the Earth Herself on your Shoulders; Yeshua does not carry your load for you.

So, Honor God with your Voice of Praise, of Thanksgiving, of Woe, of Suffering; and YHVH your God will be Present with you and teach You to Reason from His Store of Wisdom, Justice and Mercy.

In the matter of Money: Although it was written that a Jew could not charge interest on a loan, the Jewish money-lenders have become proverbial creditors to the world.

The Karma from this Effect is Great; and the Anger of the Nations against Jews is Great.

From now on, no New Jew will loan money except interest-free. No economic system will arise due to the practices of the Kingdom of God, except that of Seed Money and creating a Tenfold Return to fund Self-Sufficiency alone.

No commissions or over-rides will accrue for doing what's simply expected, because you are a Holy Nation, not a community of Sinners. Tips are always appropriate because they reveal God's Will.

The Law-Full of YHVH carry the Karma of the Earth upon your Shoulders; and yet even this must not be overly burdensome, as YHVH would have it.

Sufficient prosperity accrues to those who work from a trade or skill, that manipulating money need not put one person or people over another or others.

In the matter of Tithes: In the past, all tithes were given to the Temple. The effect of this doctrine is to centralize wealth.

Centralizing wealth means people at the edge are cut off. Cutting them off serves to change behavior, to cope more lawfully or to retreat to ego.

Accountability to the Community : In the Past, secrecy of the Priesthood kept money in its control. NOW Let tithes and gifts become the Responsibility of your Management Office [whatever you call it] so all the Books are Opened and All the People can see to whom tithes and gifts are truly beneficial.

This way, no one will be left out, who has any Integrity or Standing in the Community, who may be poor or sick or suffering.

In the matter of backsliding: Let those who practice Sin among you be referred to a Christian Community to love one's neighbor as oneself until Godly behavior returns as regular practice. Christians practice Repentence and Redemption. Let sinners not become a permanent dole at a Community's expense.

In the matter of Taharat Hamishpachah [Family purity] : These are the days of pestilence ahead, when viruses follow unseen paths and lay low whole multitudes.

Taharat hamishpachah is the Commitment to What is Holy, Sacred, Real and Active, not merely to physical preferences, expediencies and appetites.

Let Niddah [separation] for a woman continue for ten days each month, and then the woman should go get her mikvah at the Bathhouse [without money or price].

There, any evidence of infection or pregnancy can be observed and dealt with kindly.

What is Holy is Healing. What is Sacred is Accounting for disease. What is Real is taking Responsibility for its effects. What is Active is the Judgment of the Mikvah Lady, that blood tests are incumbent, or that a Doctor needs to be in attendance.

At the Bathhouse, women must practice all their Healing Arts: homeopathy, massage, yoga, acupressure--the list is long--for Repentence and Redemption of disease not to become a permanent burden by virtue of disability, at the Community's expense. Also, may be be incumbent upon the mothers and brides in the community to have a network of skills to keep themselves happy and Holy in their Work and in their Lives.

[This is WHY elaborate Sabbath preparations are not appropriate on Friday afternoons, so time for Healing and Regeneration is what works to prepare women for their husbands.]

Likewise, the Men need their own Sweat Lodge, their Place to Make Noise [undetected] each week, their own Form of Yoga Discipline, their Way to Exchange the Peace of God, that does not have to answer to the convenience of the Women.

Then, the Communities' and the Peoples' Festivals will take on a Spirit of Vitality of Health and Freedom, uncumbered by Ease or Satiety.

The Holy Laws of God Given to Moses

THE 255 LAWS [not 613] OF YHVH GOD -- A Lifestyle

about 550 scriptural references to the Pentateuch--Genesis-Deuteronomy--organized by topic.

"And God said to Moses again, 'You are to say to the sons of Israel, 'YHVH, your fathers' God, Abraham's God, Isaac's God, Jacob's God, has sent me to you'; this is my name forever, and this my identification for generation after generation.' (3:15); and when you go into the country that YHVH will give you as he promised, you shall keep up this service. (12:23-26) And the sons of Israel shall keep the Sabbaths, celebrating the Sabbath generation after generation as a perpetual covenant. Between me and the sons of Israel it is a token forever, because YHVH was six days making the heavens and the earth and on the seventh day he left off and rested up.'(31:16-17). The Bible, Book of Exodus [Byington Version]:

The Law as Given to Moses, Aaron, Joshua and the Israelites included ethnic cleansing [which is no longer politically or ethically tolerated] and capital punishment for personal sin [victimless crimes]. Okay, let's just say the death of the Son of God put an end to lawful killing; and let's move on from there. NOTE: Hebrew words are surrounded by / nnn / for indexing to concordances. Basically, this LAW is for the people who take God YHVH and His Covenants seriously--Jews, Christians or whoever.

This Holy Law will thrive any Community that follows it, (Lev. 26:1-6) and they will do well to expose and document Truth (Ex. 18:21; 34:6; Deut 32:4), but leave corruption, revenge and retribution to God alone to deal with (Deut. 29:19-29).

We can't mess with YHVH--evidently an ET. He controls solar cometary streams, the heat of the Sun, the weather on our Planet. There is nowhere to hide one's crimes. Moreover, since YHVH owns the whole Planet--with Israel in the grip of secular materialism these days--those who want to build Zion will have to build it somewhere else right now. Got a better idea?

* .......GOD IS Yahweh, with the Son [Yeshua] and the Holy Spirit.

1......HALLOW -- Hallow God's name--YHVH; do not take The Name in vain nor flippantly (Ex. 20:7; Lev. 22:32). Make His Name known (Ps. 83:18).
2......LAUD -- Know that G-d exists (Ex. 20:2-3; Deut. 5:6-9) by Creation's complexities, harmonies and whole-ness. Life is whole; thus, its Author is One. Do not entertain the idea that there is any god but the Eternal Whose work is with us testifying to His Wisdom.
3......HONOR -- Honor the old and the wise (Lev. 19:32) by rising before them. Defer to the elderly. Cleave to those who know God (Deut. 10:20) personally, not merely as an abstraction. Know that God is present in the midst of the fire (Deut. 6:4,5; 1 Tim 6:16) and He holds the power over "the sea of glass mixed with fire" (Rev 15:2).
4......Do not revile, curse (Ex. 22:27 or 28) nor blaspheme God. On the contrary, fear Him reverently (Deut. 6:13; 10:20).
5......PRAY -- Pray to Yahweh God (Ex. 23:25; Deut. 6:13). If a sinner [law-breaker] prays, he should invoke Yeshua's Name, the Son whose death provided Redemption for his sin.
6...... Do not to put the word of God to the test nor tempt God by prayer that presumes to make demands. YHVH grants us Free Will; let us do likewise, and realize God operates from His Own Free Will [not from human/angelic expectations].
7...... 'Therefore, if you hearken to my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my special possession, dearer to me than all other people, though all the earth is mine. You shall be to me a kingdom of priests, a holy nation.' (Ex. 19:5; Deut. 28:9) Au contrare: "Because you did not serve the LORD your God joyfully and with gladness of heart for the abundance of everything, therefore you shall serve your enemies whom the LORD will send against you, in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and lack of everything. He will put an iron yoke on yourneck until he has destroyed you" (Deut 28:47)

SIGNS AND SYMBOLS OF LAW-ABIDING PEOPLE

8..... CIRCUMCISE.-- Circumcise all sons of the community (Gen. 17:12; Lev. 12:3; Deut. 23:2). Any man whose genitals are mutilated [tied] or who was born of incest may not join with Zion [as into community]. [Reasoning : there is no way an individual can establish an Eternal lineage who is sterile.]
9..... MARK -- Affix the /mezuzah / [identifying clan crest] to the doorposts and gates of your house (Deut. 6:9).
10.... ASSEMBLE -- Remember the /shabbat,/ to keep it holy by rest and reflection (Ex.21:8; Deut. 6:12; Lev. 26:40; Num 5:7; Ps 32:5). Everyone [before shul or communion] confess their iniquities to each other and to God in prayer.
11.... LIVE THE LAW -- Learn /Torah / [the Law] and teach it (Deut. 6:4-8; Matt 5:16-21). Do not add nor take away from the commandments of the /Torah /(Deut. 13:1). Since the death of God's Son, Yeshua, only shun prophets who sin; one may not resort to killing for thinking or belief; and shunning is for unlawful behavior that works out of evil thoughts.
12.... RECORD -- Every person must have a copy of the complete /Torah/ for himself/herself (Josh 8:32; 22:5; Ps 1:1; Prov 3:3; 7:3; Matt 5:16-21; 1Joh 5:3). This implies there should be a place where Law copies and journals are kept as evidence of each communicant's intent to be law-abiding. This implies a literate community--every communicant will be able to read, write and reason.
13.... VERBALIZE -- Read the /Shema /in the morning and at night (Deut. 6:7) as a reminder and affirmation of faith. Make confession before the L-rd of any sin that one has committed, when bringing a sacrifice and at other times (Num. 5:6-7).
14.... EXPRESS -- Recite grace and thanksgiving after a meal (Deut. 8:10) for a Jew; before the meal, for a Christian.
15.... SUPPORT -- Sustain all who are of the covenant (Ex. 12:44-45 and Lev. 19:18; 22:10) and be identified by the fact you forgive each other's debts every seven years. Take up collections for the work of The LORD--Sanctuary, Tabernacle and Tent of Meeting. (Ex. 25:2-9). No uncircumcised male shall share in eating /t'rumah/ (heave offering) or other holy foods.

CONSIDERATIONS OF SURVIVAL

16.... Carry Responsibility.--Honor your father and your mother, that you may live a long life (Ex. 20:12; Deut. 6:16). This means supporting them in infirmity and age, as you were supported in infancy and childhood. Do not delay in fulfilling vows or bringing vowed or free-will offerings, judgments or expectations forward (Deut. 23:22). Do not break a vow (Num. 30:3). Avoid swearing, or swear by one's own name alone (Deut. 10:20).
17.... Permit no harm.--Thou shalt not murder (Ex. 20:13; Deut. 5:17). Neither, stand by idly when a person's life is in danger (Lev. 19:16) nor abort an unborn child.
18.... Be sufficient.--Thou shalt not steal. You shall not covet, exact, demand or confiscate what belongs to anyone else--not yours. (Ex. 20:14-17; Deut. 5:18; 6:21). Do not swear falsely in denial of another's property rights (Lev. 19:11; Deut. 26:13) or human rights. Purchase what you want or leave it alone.
19.... Role-model.--Do not give occasion to simple-minded to stumble or sin (Lev. 19:14). Do not gloat or boast over brothers or revile weakness (Lev. 25:43) or deafness nor place a stumbling block before one who is blind (Lev. 19:14). "You shall love your neighbor as yourself" (Lev. 19:18). Do not curse a neighbor; instead, correct matters (Lev. 19:14). 20.... Testify.--Do not bear false witness nor gossip (Ex 21:16; Deut. 6:20). Rather, be listening for Truth. Wrong no one in speech--do not repeat a false report nor side with the many in perverting justice (Ex. 23:1-3). Do not libel, slander, gossip nor carry tales (Lev. 19:16).
21.... Exercise Mercy.--SHABBOS, the Sabbath, is mercy for the worker (Ex 20:8-11). "On the seventh day you shall rest, so that your ox and your donkey may have relief, and your homeborn slave and the resident alien may be refreshed (Ex 23:12). "One must not afflict or bother an orphan or a widow unnecessarily (Ex. 22:21). Relieve a neighbor or even an enemy of his burden and help to unload his beast (Ex. 23:5).
22.... Endow Charity.-- Give charity according to one's means (Deut. 15:10; 11:35). When reaping a field, leave the entire outside row intact (Lev. 23:22); when picking fruit, leave the outside row of orchard for others to help themselves [a handful at a time] (Lev.19:9) Do not gather gleanings nor / peret /(grapes) nor / ol'loth /imperfect clusters of grapes, nor a dropped sheaf nor fallen fruit. Let them lie on the ground while reaping; but leave for the poor to pick up (Lev. 19:9-10; Deut. 24:19-21).
23.... Grant Loans.--Do not resist loaning to a poor brother due to impending release of loans in the Sabbath year (Deut. 15:3-9). When a brother or faithful family requires a loan of cash money, he or they may choose to do service in return, until the Sabbath or Jubilee year. (Ex. 21:1-11). Loan to friends interest-free (Lev. 25:37). Do not borrow on interest from a resident/friend (Deut. 23:20) because this would cause the lender to sin. When lending to a neighbor, make no demand until he recovers the ability to repay (Ex. 22:24), and at the Sabbath year, forgive the debt.
24.... Pledge.--Do not take as a pledge, the utensils used in preparing food or apparel nor bedding needed for warmth (Deut. 24:6). Do not exact a pledge from a debtor by force, especially at the time when he needs it to survive (Deut. 24:10-12). Do not take a pledge from a widow that she needs to survive (Deut. 24:17); simply grant her need.Return a pledge to its owner (Deut. 24:13) when it is redeemed.
25.....Chasten.-- Do not commit adultery (Ex 20:14) to cause a rift between the married and in their families. Accept hastening and chastity, as protections for the soul and health (Deut. 8:5) from both perspectives: ends and means. Also, NIDDAH--family purity--involves willing limits on marital relations and the use of time and personal hygiene, so that mothers are not exhausted and fathers learn to be considerate of weaker feminine vessels. Details follow in sections below.
26.... Labor.--Let everyone work together and cooperate (Lev. 19:13; 25:39). Deal judiciously with helpers in accordance with laws appertaining to them. Don't institute slavery where there is none (Ex. 21:2-9). Pay wages to the helper at the due time (Deut. 23:25-26; 24:15; 26:13); do not delay payment of someone's wages--even overnight. Permit helpers to eat of the produce being gathered so long as they eat only by the handful, not by the bag-full. Keep faithful dependent women in local helper roles.
27.... Slave.--Do not sell anyone as a slave. But if you sell your daughter, let her be redeemed if she finds no favor. And if you sell your son, only do that if he is useless to you (Deut. 21:20). If a faithful one places themselves in service to obtain a loan, that is their matter (Lev. 25:42). Where slavery already exists, do not allow anyone to be sold out-of-the-loop or handed-off (Ex. 21:8) to idolators. Remember, one who sold himself into slavery must be set free for the Jubilee (Lev. 25:53). One set free--manservant or maidservant--for the Jubilee must be given provisions sufficient to get home (Deut. 15:14) in proportion to service and profit.
28.....Sanctify.--Do not surrender nor wrong a slave who fled to Zion, to his cynical owner who lives outside (Deut. 23:16,17).

CHILDREN

29..... Recite the Law -- "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart. Recite them to your children and talk about them when you are at home aqnd when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise. Bind them as a sign on your hand, fix them as an emblem on your forehead, and write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates" (Deut 6:7).
30..... Like the king himself, the godly child of Israel will read the Law. "It shall remain with him and he shall read in it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, diligently observing all the words of this law and these statutes, neither exhalting himself above other members of the community nor turning aside from the commandments, either to the right or to the left, so that he and his decendants may [live] long ... in Israel." (Deut 17:19).
31.... Children that are born to the third generation of law-abiding aliens in your midst may be admitted to the assembly of the Lord. (Deut 23:8). Likewise, "visiting the iniquity of the parents upon the children and the children's children to the third and fourth generation" brings about the downfall of evil parents. (Ex. 34:7).
32.... Fathers may not be expelled for the sins of their children, nor children for the sins of their fathers. (Deut. 24:16).

COMMUNICABLE DISEASES*

33.... CLEANLINESS -- Be clean people, physically (Lev 11:36; 12:8; 13:13, 17, 37, 39, 40, 41, 58; 14:53; 15:28; Num 9:13; 19:9; 31:24). Eat in a clean place (Lev 10:14; Num 19:9). Be symbolically clean (Lev 16:30; Num 19:12) and keep the clan clean (Num 35:33) by expelling those who practice sin and evil.
34.... Leprosy, AIDS, hepatitis, tuberculosis, pneumonia, streptococci are all unclean and defile (Lev. 13:2-46). Lepers shall be universally recognized as such by the prescribed marks. So too, all other unclean persons should declare themselves as such (Lev. 13:45). A leprous garment, bedding and house is unclean and defiles (Lev. 13:47-49; 14:36-46; Num. 27:8-11).
35.... The procedure of cleansing leprosy, whether of a man or of a house, takes place with cedar-wood, hyssop, scarlet thread, two birds, and running water (Lev. 14:1-7). Do not drove off the hair of the scall (Lev. 13:33) of leprosy; but the leper shall shave all his hair (Lev. 14:9). Do not pluck out the marks of leprosy (Deut. 24:8).

RITUAL PURITY AND SANITATION -- Do not pollute nor allow pollution.

36.... Dispose of cool foods having become defiled by contact with unclean things (Lev. 11:34).
37.... Send unclean individuals out of the Camp of the Shechainah which is the area immediately surrounding the Tabernacle (Num. 5:2).

46.... A corpse defiles (Num. 19:11-16). The ["lustral"] waters of separation defile one who is clean, and cleanse the unclean from pollution by a dead body (Num. 19:19-22), as the procedure to sanctify the household of one who has died.

OUTSIDERS -- Do not cheat nor allow cheating.

47..... FAIRNESS -- Do not rob by violence (Lev. 19:13) or grab and retain what is not yours to have. Do not rob by lies, tricky deception or fraud (Lev. 19:13; Deut. 26:13). Ensure that scales and weights are correct and accurate (Lev. 19:34-36; Deut. 15:3; 23:21; 25:13-14; 26:13). Do not do anyone wrong in buying or selling; use standard measures, not two sets of measures--one for the brother and one for the foreigner. This is despicable. Treat the stranger fairly, / quid pro quo, / in buying and selling (Ex. 22:20-24). Exact financial transactions among outsiders; but do not take part in any usurious [over conventional "prime rate"] transactions--neither as a surety, nor as a witness, nor as a writer of the bond for anyone. Lend to an outsider at "favorable, not usury" rates so your name will not be accursed. Treat the alien who resides among you no differently in all ways; for you were once aliens.
48..... FIDELITY -- Do not marry nor allow your children to marry unknown, untested characters (Deut. 7:3).
49..... HOSPITALITY -- Keep an outsider in community as long as he remains lawful (Lev. 25:46). Ban and exile those who violate the Law. Do not exclude other ethical peoples or races from the community after they have resided in peace for three generations (Deut. 23:8-9).

54..... Do not offer up a beast that comes from unknown stock (Lev. 22:25). Do not sanctify blemished cattle for sacrifice on the altar (Lev. 22:20) nor offer up a beast that has a temporary blemish (Deut. 17:1). Meat served at Shabbos in the Tabernacle must be clean and eaten on that day. A blemished animal may be slaughtered locally if it is otherwise healthy; but do not slaughter diseased cattle nor burn them (Lev. 22:22-24) and spread the disease. Do not touch them unnecessarily nor eat them; turn them loose where they can cause no harm to humans.
55..... Set aside a perfect animal for Tabernacle sacrifice before it has ever been bred. The sacrifice of a beast can only take place when they are at least eight days old (Lev. 22:27). Do not shear a beast set apart for sacrifice (Deut. 15:19) so it can be easily identified as special. Do not put that animal to work, the one set apart for sacrifice/slaughter (Deut. 15:19).

56..... Do not inflict a blemish on cattle set apart for sacrifice (Lev. 22:21; Deut 14:3) to spare the animal. But, if cattle set apart for sacrifices contract a disqualifying blemish, redeem that one after which it may be set free or slaughtered for the poor (Deut. 12:15). If a beast is exchanged for one that had been set apart as an offering, both become sacred (Lev. 27:10); both are sacrificed instead of the one, to discourage trickery.
57..... Do not eat any vermin of the earth--rat, mouse, lizards, gecko, chameleon, agama, skink or mole (Lev. 11:29-30) nor camel, hare, dog, pig or badger. Rather, slay local ox, sheep, goat, gazelle, roebuck, and fowl according to Kashrut if their flesh is to be eaten (Deut. 12:21) but thou shalt not kill for sport (Ex. 21:13; Deut. 6:17). Examine marks to distinguish clean from unclean (Lev. 11:2-4) so as not to eat the flesh of the unclean. Do not eat the flesh of a beast that is /terefah / (lit., torn) (Ex. 22:30). Do not eat the flesh of a beast that died of itself (Deut. 14:21). Do not eat the flesh of a beast that was condemned for erratic behavior; may be diseased.

66.... Do not sow grain or herbs, nor eat whatever else grows in a vineyard (Deut. 22:9). Keep the vineyard's soil holy for the grapes and cover it with mulch or gravel.

SUMMARY DIET LAWS AND PURITY OF FOOD* ~ ~ NOTE: God did NOT create refrigeration. ~ ~ KOSHER food is food which is certified as having been raised, grown and processed appropriately, you might say, organically. The Tabernacle is an organized slaughterhouse operating on Thursdays and Fridays to slaughter clean and unblemished animals for Community meals during Shabbos and /Shul/. In residence, the community is vegetarian except for Shabbos in warm months at home and only slaughters other animals for food in winter when growing food is impossible. This routine preserves the health of the people from too much meat, from rotting meat and from the necessity of refrigeration. Slaughter is done by quickly beheading an animal by a shochet, which takes two seconds and inflicts no pain. A Prayer is said over the blood of the animal, to return thanks to G-d for the animal's strength and beauty. Every part of the animal that cannot be immediately eaten at table or stored for later use [e.g., hides, tallow] is burned to eliminate contamination. There are no leftovers to rot or spoil. All meat and propitiatory sacrifices provide food for attendants [/Kohein /and /Levites/] as well as the poor who have no land or animals, who come to the Shabbat Community on the weekends.

MARRIAGE, DIVORCE AND FAMILY -- Do not abuse relationships.

67..... Honor your biological and/or adopted father and mother (Ex. 20:12), Reverently fear father and mother (Lev. 19:3) as if they have authority from God, which they do--even if it means taking on additional responsibilities. Do not curse a father or mother, wife, son or daughter (Ex. 21:17), or the effects of the curse will visit you time and time again. Do not smite [verbally or physically abuse] father, mother, wife or children (Ex. 21:15).
68..... Fulfill whatever you utter (Deut. 23:24) "Let your yes mean yes, and your no, no." If you can't deal with your own problems, call on Yahweh God in prayer and ask for help to come to you, from among brothers, priests or judges. But do not ask people directly, for help. Confront problems; reprove your wife or children, but do not sin (Lev. 19:17).
69..... There shall be no prostitutes-for-hire in Zion (Deut. 23:18). Summarily expel [or execute if insane/obsessed] anyone who accepts money for sex. .... Impose a penalty of fifty /shekels /upon the seducer (of an unbetrothed virgin) paid to her father, and enforce the other rules in connection with the case (Ex. 22:15-16). ... The violator (of an unbetrothed virgin) shall marry her (Deut. 22:28-29) unless she despises him, in which case he should be charged with assault. .... One who has raped a damsel and has then (in accordance with the law) married her, may not divorce her if she does not suit him.
70..... Do not ever marry or assimilate a eunuch, mamzer or terrorist into the Community (Deut. 23:2,3,4). Rather, take a wife by /kiddushin,/ the sacrament of marriage (Deut. 24:1-4) and live in pair bond joyfully with the wife of his youth (Pr. 5:18; Eccl 9).
71..... The newly married husband shall (be free) for one year to rejoice with his wife; and be exempt for a whole year from taking part in any public labor, such as military service, guarding the wall and similar duties (Deut. 24:5).
72..... Be fruitful and multiply (Gen. 1:28) so your name reflects many vocations.
73..... Reprove and correct effects of sin in the family (Lev. 19:17; Deut. 22:4). Do not withhold food, clothing, shelter and light from your children or conjugal rights from your wife (Ex. 21:10); attention is optional.
74..... The woman suspected of adultery shall be dealt with as prescribed in the Torah (Num. 5:30) By isolation, she will be brought to correct her behavior or abandon her honor.
75..... One who defames his wife's honor (by falsely accusing her of unchastely before marriage) must live with her all his lifetime (Deut. 22:19) and by his shame, come to treat her with respect. A man may not divorce his wife concerning whom he has published a false report (about unchastely before marriage) But if she despises him, she should be set free.
76..... Divorce one's mate by a formal written document. One who divorced his wife shall not remarry her, if after the divorce she had been married to another man (Deut. 24:1-4).
77..... A widow whose husband died leaving her childless may marry her deceased husband's brother or the widow should formally release the brother-in-law if he refuses to marry her, so she is free to remarry (Deut. 25:5-9).

80..... Civil law says we may not execute people for their gender preferences. But, according to Holy Law, marriage is holy and sacred because a marriage establishes a hereditary family line. Yet, if men or women get along very well together and want to live as family units, we can choose to turn the head on it and let them remain as foreigners unless they don't keep to themselves and stay clean on sight. [Homosexuality is a visible condition, as leprosy is.]
81..... Do not use a beast for intercourse (Lev. 18:23).
82..... Do not castrate a man (Lev. 22:24); expel him, turn him over to authorities or kill him if he won't leave people alone.

TIMES AND SEASONS, WORK AND REST -- Do not sit idly by. Engage.

88..... Sanctify /Shabbos/ and Festivals by assembling the elders together for reflection and teaching (Ex. 3:16; 20:8-12). Rather, rest, play, exercise, display, listen, journal and reflect (Ex. 23:10-12; 34:21).
89..... Celebrate and rejoice in the festivals [/Passover, Shavu'ot/ and /Sukkot /] (Ex. 23:14; Deut. 16:14).

PASSOVER

"By the might of your arm they were frozen like stone, while your people, O LORD, passed over, while the people you had made your own passed over. And you brought them in and planted them on the mountain of your inheritance--the place where you made your seat, O LORD, the sanctuary, O LORD, which your hands established. The LORD shall reign forever and ever."

Everyone will bring all their cultures to the springhouse, to be renewed.
92..... Eat /matzah,/ chapitis or tortillas--not yeast bread--on the first evening of /Passover/ (Ex. 12:18). Eat the flesh of the Paschal sacrifice on the night of the fifteenth of Nissan (Ex. 12:8), together as a sacred association. On this day you shall explain to your son, 'This is because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.' (Ex. 13:8) This is why I sacrifice to the LORD everything of the male sex that opens the womb and why I redeem every first-born of my sons.' (Ex. 13:8,14). Do not take any of the flesh of the Paschal lamb from the company's place of assembly (Ex. 12:46); It must be eaten in one and the same house.

SABBATICAL AND JUBILEE YEARS

111.... Count the years of the Jubilee by years and by cycles of seven years (Lev. 25:8). Sound the Ram's horn in the Sabbatical year (Lev. 25:9). Grant redemption to the land in the Jubilee year (Lev. 25:24). One can see, the purpose of the Sabbatical and Jubilee years is not to starve or worry the people; it is to rest them and teach them to plan ahead.
112.... Cease from tilling fields for planting in the Sabbatical year (Ex. 23:11, Lev. 25:2-5) and the Jubilee year (Lev. 25:10-11). Let the fields lie fallow in the Sabbatical year, and only eat what they produce voluntarily. [permaculture]. This is not a problem when a community depends largely on permaculture--asparagus, Jerusalem artichokes, berries, mushrooms, ramps and onions, garlic, ginger and ginseng, roots and tubers, seed sprouting--that do not require tilling fields at all. Do not do any pruning work on the trees either in the Jubilee year and only eat directly off the tree. Only reap first-fruits of grains & annuals--not reap the aftermath that grows in Sabbatical years and Jubilee years as it is reaped in other years.

JUDICIAL COURT -- Do not permit evil to infest and invest in the Community.

115.... Appoint judges and officers in every community of Israel, (Deut. 16:18) but only to appoint as a judge, a person who is well versed in the laws of the Torah, whether he is expert in other branches of knowledge (Deut. 1:17). Judges must not take a bribe or reciprocal favor (Ex. 23:8).
116.... Decide, forecast or evaluate in cases of conflict, dispute or annulment of vows, according to rules set forth in the Torah [by reason of what was consented to] (Num. 30:2-17). Return lost property (Deut. 22:1) to its proper owner. Restore what was taken by robbery (Lev. 5:23), assault or fraud. Repentance and rehabilitation are the goal.

One who vows to the L-rd the monetary value of an unclean beast shall pay its value (Lev. 27:11-13).
119.... Do not curse a judge (Ex. 22:27). Moreover, do not be violating oaths or vows, or swearing to false testimony nor lying nor speaking [or write] falsely to one another (Lev. 19:12). These practices are evil.
120.... Both parties to a suit must be present in the Hearing of it (Ex. 23:1). Treat parties in a litigation with equal impartiality (Lev. 19:15). Do not render iniquitous decisions (Lev. 19:15). Do not favor a great man (over a woman) when trying a case (Lev. 19:15). Do not be afraid of a bad man, when trying a case (Deut. 1:17). Do not be moved unduly in trying a case, by the poverty of one of the parties (Ex. 23:3; Lev. 19:15). Do not pervert the judgment in the case of strangers, orphans or known sinners (Deut. 24:17).
121.... The judge must examine witnesses thoroughly (Deut. 13:15), and witnesses should volunteer their version of the story. A case cannot be decided on the evidence of a single witness (Deut. 19:15). Do not render a decision on one's personal opinion, but only on the evidence of two witnesses, who saw what actually occurred (Ex. 23:7).
122.... One who possesses evidence shall testify in Court (Lev. 5:1). Do not testify falsely (Ex. 20:13). If any person refuses to give the information which, as a witness of something he has seen or learned, he has been adjured to give, he thus commits a sin by refusing to speak the truth (Lev. 5:1). Do not pretend not to have seen lost property, to avoid the obligation to return it (Deut. 22:3).
123.... Do not carry out a capital judgment on one guilty of a capital offense, before he has stood trial (Num. 35:12), and a witness who has testified in a capital case shall not be the one to lay down the law in that particular case (Num. 35:30).
124.... A transgressor shall not testify in capital matters, expulsion or death (Ex. 23:1). Nor shall a court accept the testimony of a close relative of the defendant in capital matters involving expulsion (Deut. 24:16). Do not accept ransom or bribe from a murderer (Num. 35:31).
125.... The decision according to the majority, when there is a difference of opinion among the members of the Community as to matters of law (Ex. 23:2), shall stand. But, do not decide, in capital cases, according to the view of the majority, when those who are for expulsion [even in winter] exceed by one only, those who are for acquittal or retainer at least until spring. The one who had argued for acquittal in a capital case shall not later on, argue for condemnation (Ex. 23:2).
126.... In recognition of a capital crime, the dead body of one who has incurred that penalty is publicly shown, to relieve residents of their surrounding fears (Deut. 21:22), but it is removed and interred before nightfall. Inter the executed at sunset on the day of execution (Deut. 21:23).
127.... Accept the rulings of the judges or allow them to recuse themselves and stand down or allow the trial to be held in a less incendiary atmosphere at some distance from the community. Do not rebel against the orders of the Court (Deut. 17:11).

INJURIES AND DAMAGES

In summary, what is Just in case of "abuse" is this: Those who abuse-without-remorse can be run out of town, rather than be allowed to continue. The Court may pass sentence of death (Ex. 21:20; Lev. 26:25) in extreme cases of serial, incorrigible, violent insanity, crime-without-regret and defiant neglect. Or, the Court may also show mercy and merely turn an offender over to civil authorities. When local Law regards taking a criminal's life as itself illegal and the sentence of death itself is impossible, the community may need to relocate to rid itself of crime.

128.... Good insurance.--Make a parapet for your roof (Deut. 22:8) so no one falls off. Do not leave something (Deut. 22:8) where someone will trip or fall over it or into it.
129.... Do not plow nor sow in any rough valley, in which a heifer cannot negotiate safely (Deut. 21:4), for safety's sake.
130.... Save a person being pursued even at the cost of the life of the pursuer. Do not spare a pursuer; but stop him before he reaches the pursued and slays the latter, or uncovers his nakedness (Deut. 25:12). (Generally, people who run away are more timid and law-abiding than those who do the pursuing.)

COMMUNITY LAW

131.... Do not sell a field in the land of the community in perpetuity (Lev. 25:23).
132.... Do not change the character of open land, so it may be resold or redeemed at any time (Lev. 25:34).
133.... Houses sold within a walled city may be sold back within a year (Lev. 25:29).
134.... Do not remove landmarks (property boundaries) (Deut. 19:14).
135.... One who vows the value of a his house shall pay according to the kohein's appraisal (Lev. 27:11-13).

139.... Expel and exile one who committed accidental homicide (Num. 35:25). Establish cities of refuge (for those who committed accidental homicide) (Deut. 19:3) by Levites. Do not accept ransom from an accidental homicide, so as to relieve him from exile (Num. 35:32).
140.... Decapitate a heifer in the manner prescribed (in expiation of a murder on the road, the perpetrator of which remained undiscovered) (Deut. 21:4) and bury the heifer, as a community sacrifice of the cost of the human life.
141.... Adjudge a thief to pay compensation or (in certain cases) suffer death (Ex. 21:16; Ex. 21:37; Ex. 22:1) for taking what cost another life or livelihood.
142.... He who inflicts a bodily injury shall pay money compensation (Ex. 21:18-19).
143.... That one who vows to the L-rd the monetary value of a person shall pay the amount appointed in the Scriptural portion (Lev. 27:2-8).
144.... Do not inflict punishment on /Shabbos /(Ex. 35:3) so those charged with carrying it out may get their due rest and reflection. They might also call a new trial, if new evidence emerges.

151.... The Court may pass sentence of death against a prophet. If it does so and the prophecies bear out, then the community is without a prophet. Only expel or put the prophet to death who prophecies maliciously or for personal gain.

RELIGIOUS PROSTITUTION

152.... Do not build an altar of hewn stone or mount the altar by steps (Ex. 20:22,23) like the nations do, that sacrifice innocent souls on the altar of religion. Do not worship an idol, bow towards it or down to it, even if that is not its mode of worship (Ex. 20:5). Do not lay down a stone for worship-full sacrifices (Lev. 26:1). Do not make a graven image, statue, model, likeness of any person or animal--living, dead or imaginary. Neither make it oneself nor to have it made by others (Ex. 20:2-4). Do not carve or make idols, figures, pictures or paintings for worship. (Pictures create and encourage subjective and psychical connections, even where no spirit connection is appropriate.) Do not make idols even for others (Ex. 34:17; Lev. 19:4). Do not use the ornament of any object of idolatrous worship (Deut. 7:25). Do not make use of an idol or statue, offerings, or libations (Deut. 7:26) for any other purpose, either. Do not swear by an idol to its worshipers, nor cause them to swear by it (Ex. 23:13) as an indulgence to their feelings and friendship. Do not pay attention to idolatry (Lev. 19:4) Do not adopt institutions nor customs of idolaters (Lev. 18:3; Lev. 20:23). This would include processions, drunken holidays, gambling, fortune-telling [Tarot], astrology, magical incantations, invocations of "deities," etc.
153.... Do not drink wine produced by idolaters (those who make use of images) (Deut. 32:38), only pure and wholesome beer and wine produced in the community (/kosher/ /parev/).
154.... Do not prophesy in the name of an idol (Ex. 23:13; Deut. 18:20) nor hearken to one who prophesies in the name of an idol (Deut. 13:4). Do not lead the children of Israel to idolatry, to other so-called "gods," "religions," "philosophies," or secular materialism. Do not allow the promise of a sign or wonder to entice a communicant to idolatry (Deut. 13:12), or to obsessions, cravings, contests, competitions. Let each one simply do his own work in the sight of God.
155.... Do not favor idolaters (Deut. 7:2) as sharers in faith; but only as business partners and regional problem-solvers. Do not make commitments with idolatrous communities (Ex. 23:32; Deut. 7:2) It is sufficient to do business occasionally.
156.... Whenever possible and appropriate, destroy idols & materialistic claptrap and their appurtenances, gadgets and schemes. (Deut. 12:2-3). Do not pay attention to enticements to idolatry, its obsessions over form, and apostasy against the Truth (Deut. 13:4-6). Do not suffer the enticer and liar and prevaricator to live among you, but stand by at his execution if he won't leave voluntarily (Deut. 13:12) "A little leaven ferments the whole lump."
157.... The Court may rule that an adjacent town has adopted idolatry as its way of life (Deut. 13:13,16-17). In that case, given prevailing global and local laws against genocide, all relationships and dealings may be withdrawn, and the Godly community should petition God for a move, away from there. . . . Aggression breeds; so, withdraw.
158.... Do not sacrifice an embryo, infant or child (Lev. 18:21) that can live a productive life.
159.... Do not suffer witchcraft to exist (Ex. 22:17). If a person is in dire need without relief, then let the Court make a determina­tion of causes and find relief. Do not practice /onein /(observing times or seasons as favorable or unfavorable; astrology) (Lev. 19:26) It relieves the believer of necessity to invest in his own sense of worth and effort.
160.... Do not practice /nachesh /(doing things based on signs and portents; using charms and incantations) (Lev. 19:26) /ovoth /(ghosts) (Lev. 19:31) /yid'onim /(wizards) (Lev. 19:31). Do not practice /kisuf /(magic using stones and objects that people use) or /kessem /(a general term for magical practices) (Deut. 18:10). (The Subjective is not a good reference book for getting things done.)
161.... Do not practice the art of a /chover chaver /(casting spells over snakes and scorpions) (Deut. 18:11) or /ob /(a ghost), the /maytim /(dead). Same reason.

163.... Do not set up a pillar (for worship) or circle of stones (Deut. 16:22) to last for eternity. Your forms are designed to last for a lifetime; the land is God's to last for Eternity.
164.... Do not settle idolaters--by any name or group--into the community (Ex. 23:33) You will find, even among those called "lawless" and "crude," there are individuals who do not pursue idols, money or lust.

APPROPRIATENESS IN CLOTHING AND APPEARANCE -- Being Of the Body

165.... MODESTY -- "None of you shall approach anyone ... to uncover nakedness: I am the LORD." (Lev. 18:6-30). "You shall make for them linen undergarments to cover their naked flesh; they shall reach from the hips to the thighs" (Ex. 28:42).
166.... Do not shave the entire beard or head unless leprosy is present, nor trim round the corners of the beard, as idolatrous priests do (Lev. 19:27). Do not make a bald spot for the dead (Deut. 14:1). There is nothing in the Pentateuch about /yamulka/ or other head coverings for either men or women, except the comment by Saul of Tarsus that women should be in meeting silent, with heads covered. But Yeshua never said this.
167.... Do not cut oneself, pierce the body with objects, or make incisions in one's flesh in grief (Lev. 19:28; Deut. 14:1). Godly people are not hopeless and desperate, nor do healthy spirits need humiliation.
168.... Do not add tattoos to the body (Lev. 19:28) even as remembrances. Learn to read and write things and thoughts down.
169.... A man shall not wear women's clothing, nor a woman wear men's clothing (Deut. 22:5).
170.... Put /tzitzit / [short blue fringe] on the edges of inner clothing (Num. 15:38).
171.... Bind /tefillin /on the head and arm (Deut. 6:8) to focus the mind during prayers.
172.... Do not wear garments made of two different kinds of thread, e.g., wool and linen mixed together (Deut. 22:11) because there is no way to clean them together without ruining the fabric.

REDEMPTION (Buy-Back) OF FIRSTBORN

173.... Consecrate to God every firstborn that opens the womb among you, both of man and beast, for it belongs to God. Redeem the firstborn son by paying a tax to the Tabernacle, the equivalent of five silver /shekels. /(Ex. 13:1; 34:20; Num. 18:15).
174.... Redeem the firstling of an ass with one of the flock; but you will not redeem the firstborn of cattle, sheep or goats (or break its neck) (Num. 18:17; Ex. 13:13). Do not eat of an unblemished firstling outside Zion (Deut. 12:17). Break the neck of a firstling and bury it if it is not redeemed (Ex. 34:20) so that those who live far from the Tabernacle pay the same tax as those who live close to the Tabernacle. If you can't kill animals, don't raise them for food unless you're prepared to follow through with this.

TABERNACLE SERVICE BY KOHEIN AND LEVI PRIESTS

175.... /Kohanim/ shall bless Israel (Num. 6:23). Show honor to a /kohein,/ and give him precedence in all things that are holy (Lev. 21:8). He should not be a man given to arrogance or greed. No one except a birthright or justified resident in the male line shall serve (in the Tabernacle) (Num. 18:4-7). Since there is no way to trace the line of /Kohein/ in this age, the person serving in the role of High Priest must be selected for excellence from among the Community's peers, a man having at least three generations of upright, lawful conduct behind him, who has served seven years as /shochet,/ watchman and /Levite/; neither timid nor warrior-type.
176.... A person with a permanent physical blemish shall not serve in the Tabernacle, even with a temporary blemish shall not serve there, with a physical blemish shall not enter the Tabernacle further than the altar (Lev. 21:16-23).
177.... /Kohein /shall not marry "compromised" women: neither divorced woman, nor a harlot, nor a profaned woman, nor a widow, nor shall he cohabit with a widow without marriage, because that profanes her (Lev. 21:7-15).
178.... /Kohein/ shall not enter the Tabernacle with disheveled hair (Lev. 10:6) or torn garments. Rather, /Kohanim/ shall put on priestly vestments for the service (Ex. 28:2). No one is to tear the High /Kohein's /robe (Ex. 28:32).
179.... /Kohein /shall only enter the Tabernacle when performing service there (Lev. 16:2). /Kohein /shall wash hands and feet at the time of service (Ex. 30:19).
180.... Ordinary /kohein/ shall not defile himself by contact with any dead, other than immediate relatives (Lev. 21:1-11). Ordinary /Kohanim / may defile themselves for their deceased relatives (by attending their burial), and mourn for them like other residents who are commanded to mourn for their relatives. But a High /Kohein /shall not defile himself with any dead, even if they are relatives or go (under the same roof) with a dead body--never, as a /Nazarite./
181.... A /kohein /who is unclean shall not serve in the Tabernacle (Lev. 22:2-4) nor enter the courtyard (Num. 5:2-3) This refers to the Camp of outsiders [the /Shechainah/]. A /kohein/ who is unclean shall not eat of the /t'rumah/. /Kohein /who had an /mikvah/-immersion during the day (to cleanse from uncleanness) do not serve in the Tabernacle until after sunset (Lev. 21:6).
182.... /Kohanim/ serve in the Tabernacle in divisions; but in festivals, they all serve together (Deut. 18:6-8). A portion of the dough is set apart for the /kohein /(Num. 15:20).
183.... No one unclean shall eat of things that are holy (Lev. 7:20). A /kohein/'s daughter who profaned herself shall not eat of the holy things, neither of the heave offering nor of the breast, nor of the shoulder of peace offerings (Lev. 10:14, Lev. 22:10-15).
184.... A person who is not a /kohein/ or the wife or unmarried daughter of a /kohein/ shall not eat of the /t'rumah /. A sojourner or guest with a /kohein /or his hired servant shall not eat of the /t'rumah / nor may Outsiders eat /tevel /(something from which the /t'rumah/ and tithe have not yet been separated).
185.... /Levites/ shall not occupy themselves with the service that belongs to the /kohanim,/ nor /Kohanim/ with that belonging to the /Levites/ (Num. 18:3).
186.... The role of /Levite/ is to serve in the Tent of Meeting, not the Tabernacle nor the Inner Sanctuary (Num. 18:23). /Levites /are provided places in which to dwell, to serve also as places of refuge for unintentional "felons" (Num. 35:2).
187.... None of the tribe of /Levi /are physically identifiable as Jews today; only shall they be selected for service out of the Camp of Shechainah based on their ability to take responsibility. /Levites /do not "own" any portion of territory in the Community. No /Levites/ shall take any share of tithes (Deut. 18:1), only the sacrifices [meat and aftermath] and a place to camp and trade.

TITHES AND TAXES

188.... The order of separating the /t'rumah /and tithes shall be in the order first-fruits at the beginning, then the /t'rumah,/ then the first tithe, and last the second tithe (Ex. 22:28).
189.... Each household shall give [the value of] half a /shekel / every year to the Tabernacle for provision of the public sacrifices (Ex. 30:13). No income or gain from prostitution or crime may be aggregated as tithe, on pain of expulsion.
190.... Set apart the tithe of the produce (one tenth of the produce after taking out /t'rumah/) for the /Levites /(Lev. 27:30; Num. 18:24).
191.... Tithe cattle (Lev. 27:32). Do not sell the tithe of the herd (Lev. 27:32-33).
192.... Every third alternating year, farmers bring a full tithe to the Tabernacle to replenish stores for Levites and the Poor. (Deut 14:28)
193.... /Levites /shall set apart a tenth of the tithes, which they had received from members and give it to the /kohanim /(the /t'rumah/ of the tithe) (Num. 18:26). ....... Whether or not these tithes reach the /kohanim / in sufficient quantity to support their work, says a lot about the perception of the Community whether it is led by righteous men, or not.
194.... /Levites /may not eat the second tithe of cereals nor do they consume the second tithe of the vintage or oil, outside the Courtyard surrounding the Sanctuary (Deut. 12:17).
195.... Do not forsake the /Levites /(Deut. 12:19); but their gifts (dues) should be given to them so that they might thrive and rejoice therewith on each and every festival.
196.... Set apart the second tithe in the first, second, fourth and fifth years of the sabbatical cycle to be eaten by its owner in Festival (Deut. 14:22).
197.... Set apart the second tithe in the third and sixth year of the /shabbat /cycle in community stores for /Levites,/ aliens, orphans and the poor (Deut. 14:28-29).
198.... Give the /kohein /a shoulder, the tongue and half the ribs of clean beasts, to roast and feed his extended family on that day. Give the first of the fleece to the /kohein /. Set apart /t'rumah g'dolah /(the great heave-offering, that is, a small portion of the grain, wine and oil) for the /kohein /(Deut. 18:3-4).
199.... Expend the proceeds of the second tithe for food and drink for everyone in the Community; distribute it all without holding back. Eat the Second Tithe in a state of cleanliness; or if not, redeem oneself. Postpone eating the Second Tithe in case of mourning (Deut. 26:14).
200.... Make a declaration of the accurate weight of one's gift, when bringing the second tithe to the Tabernacle. Do not use two sets of measures, one for business and the other for tithe (Deut. 26:13).

TABERNACLE OFFERINGS

201.... Build an Ark, a Sanctuary Tent Dwelling, a Tabernacle Tent Dwelling, a Meeting Tent Dwelling, with Courtyards outside for visitors and camps (Exodus chapters 25 through 28). Just follow the instructions and do it. Jews did it 4000 years ago; we can do it today. God YHVH will sustain the work. It is expected that all participants reverence the Sanctuary (Lev. 19:30). No intoxicated person shall enter the Tabernacle nor give decisions in matters of the Law (Lev. 10:9-11).
202.... Set the showbread and the frankincense before the Lord every Shabbat (Ex. 25:30). /Kohanim /shall not abandon the Courtyard of the Sanctuary, during service (Lev. 10:7).

205.... The oil of anointment must be prepared and anoint the high kohanim and kings with it. Do not compound anything similar to the formula of the incense. Do not compound oil for ordinary use after the same formula as the anointing oil . Do not anoint a stranger, temporary or provisional resident, or visitor with anointing oil (Ex. 30:31-37). [He who, in error, makes unlawful use of sacred things, shall make restitution of the value of his trespass and add a fifth (Lev. 5:16).]
206.... /Kohanim / accept offerings brought by those who have in error committed a trespass against sacred things, or robbed, or lain carnally with a bond-maid betrothed to a man, or denied what was deposited with him and swore falsely to support his denial. This is called a guilt-offering for a known trespass. [Do not bring sacrifices out of the hire of a sexual favor (Deut. 23:19), or that being the case, be expelled from the congregation.]
207.... Flesh of a sin-offering or guilt-offering shall be returned to the pilgrim to be eaten (Ex. 29:33).
208.... Outsiders may not eat the flesh of burnt-offerings (Deut. 12:17). This is a Prohibition applying to every trespasser, not to enjoy any of the holy things. If he does so, he commits a trespass and is expelled.

211.... Ashes must be removed from the altar (Lev. 6:3-6). Keep fire always burning on the altar of the burnt-offering; let it not be extinguished. Watch over the Sanctuary tent continuously (Num. 18:2-5), and not permit it to be unattended or unlit at any time it is in use. /Kohanim/ shall not eat flesh of the sin-offering or guilt-offering outside the Courtyard of the Tabernacle (Deut. 12:17).
212.... Whereas God said, "When you wish meat for good, you may eat it at will to your heart's desire," yet what is possible is not always what is desirable. And enough meat is enough meat; kashured meat is sufficient. Therefore, let us choose to be conser­vative, by saying, "Abstain ... that you and your children after you may prosper for doing what is right in the sight of the LORD" (Deut. 12:20-28).
213.... Only the seed of Aaron [birth-right and justified residents] shall eat flesh in the Tabernacle (Ex. 29:33).

215.... The Holocaust for G-D is two animals daily, and then to provide for distribution as kashured meat to priests at the Taber­nacle, to Levites and their families at Tent of Meeting. Additional sacrifices every Shabbat, to provide meat for assembly (Num. 28:3-9) in cold weather after the Shabbat service. The balance of Shabbat meals are ovo-lacto vegetarian, for health.

226.... A woman after childbirth shall bring an offering when she is clean (Lev. 12:6). A woman having an issue [any chronic disease--ms, lupus, cfs, cancer, tb, etc.] shall bring a sacrifice after she is cleansed and healed of her issue (Lev. 15:28-30).
227.... A leper shall bring a sacrifice after he is cleansed (Lev. 14:10). A man having an issue [any chronic disease--ms, lupus, cfs, cancer, tb, etc.] shall bring a sacrifice after he is cleansed and healed of his issue (Lev. 15:13-15).

236.... Olive oil is not used in a sin-offering made of flour (Lev. 5:11-15) nor is olive oil placed in the meal-offering of a woman suspected of adultery until she and her husband have both made guilt offerings--he, for neglect and she, for betrayal; or vice versa. 237....

251.... Always remember what an enemy can do when truth and vigilance fail (Deut. 25:17). In a conflict or dispute, always first offer terms of peace (Deut. 20:10); but do not offer terms of peace to those who despise you who are waging war on you (Deut. 23:7).

'And now, Israel, what does the LORD, your God, ask of you but to fear the LORD, your God and follow his ways exactly, to love and serve the LORD, your God, with all your heart and all your soul, to keep the Commandments and statutes of the LORD which I enjoin on you today for your own good? (Deut. 10:12-15).
255.... CONSENT. --'When he set before them all that the LORD had ordered him to tell them, the people all answered together, "Everything the LORD has said, we will do." Then Moses brought back to the LORD the response of the people.' (Ex. 19:8).

*The reason I don't get to number 613 is that I organize by topic; some commandments are mirror images; and it simplifies and clarifies matters to write those as whole paragraphs. I'm still working at reviewing whether this list is complete and correct. *

~*~ 8888 -- THE PEOPLES' NEW CATHOLIC PRAYER BOOK ~*~

It makes no sense to begin Worship with the Book of Matthew, three-quarters of the way through YHVH's Scriptures. Let us then begin from Genesis, and consolidate what we know about God.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

1. The Passover By Law and Grace, as Written Down for Our Benefit

As a literate follower of the Mosaic Law, Yeshua celebrated Ysrael's annual Passover, the celebration of his people's Exodus from bondage in Egypt. In the Gospels, we have detailed information about the last time he celebrated it with his disciples on the night before his death. The event is known as "The Last Supper."

After the Passover lamb had been sacrificed to God in the Temple [nowhere else were Jews permitted to "kill"], it was brought to the upper room where Yeshua and his followers ate it as a sacrificial repast.

Then Yeshua did a remarkable thing. He gave this ancient sacrifice and sacred meal a new meaning. Referring to his cruel death on the cross [the next day], he said in other words: "From now on I am that Passover lamb, sacrificed to deliver you figuratively from slavery in Egypt [and now from Babylon the Great] and all Evil. Do this as a memorial of me." In meditating on our Lord's death on the cross, the early Church saw Yeshua as a Priest of the Most High God offering sacrifice to YHVH. But this sacrifice was not a lamb: it was his own life and body and blood, shed in response to the shame of the world at the effects of sin and evil (Heb 9:10).

Now ALL Mankind can receive Forgiveness for sin even who were unlawful or unlearned, but repented and changed their Behaviors. Before, under the Jewish system of Law, only those who presented sacrifices at the Temple could ever receive YHVH's forgiveness. Now, through Christ, YHVH was adopting all people as his children under a Covenant of Salvation. And from now on, killing for sin would cease for all time. No more would the penalty for sin be retribution and death, under Law.

Following this trend of thought, we understand Paul when he says: "Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed for us" (1 Cor 5:7).

"Eucharist" is a Semitic Jewish Passover with New Meaning for sinful and unlawful people anywhere and everywhere.

Jews celebrate Passover as a memorial of their redemption from bondage in Egypt, brought about by God's mighty hand. Christians celebrate the Eucharist as a memorial to the Peoples' Redemption from Effects of Sin, Karma and Evil by the Christ's Shame and Sacrifice. No longer is killing a feature of Justice.

2. When and How to Celebrate

Ancient Israel established the passover in the darkness of night when their future was unpredictable and the wilderness was uninhabited and uninhabitable [so they thought]. It is meet and right that the passover be observed likewise after sundown in the darkness of a new moon, to comfort a sense of Loss of Light. This means Eucharist services only occur once a month, not daily or weekly, allowing time for new seekers to repent and change their paths, to the Good.

Regular weekly services deal with more human issues, and divine Communion is given a more sacred and less routine practice where the expectation exists that Sin must be abandoned, for a member to be initiated into Eucharist.

3. The Language of Symbols

Sacred symbols point to beautiful realities often more effectively than mere words can. Entering the church, one makes the sign of the cross with holy water, as a reminder of baptism. Likewise, standing for prayers and songs expresses a form of chastity that says "each One stands alone before God.

Passing the handshake of Peace should be a genuine symbol of acceptance and welcome for all that fellowship here. Symbolism that each Community articulates in its worship becomes the signature and expressions of God-linked experiences for those people. These symbols may or may not be extended to other parishes and Communities. We are always already free to enlarge our experiences of God with music, drama, wit and poetry.

Devotions that express shame and cost of man's fall from harmlessness and discipline are always meet and right.

1. Entrance Antiphon Proper ---The entrance antiphon is an opportunity for people to intuit and infer the Glory of God. The Holy Mystery of YHVH is that He is never Visible as a Form, Shape or Apparition for worship. He can only be discerned in and by Spirit and Truth, which are both vibrations of certain human physical glands. These vibrations are evoked by Chanting, in Music and Song, and in the silence. During this time, each and all the people find their places for meditation and worship, in whatever room or space the Eucharist is to take place.

2. Greeting ---The call to worship [as the last few people are being seated]. A prayer of greeting includes God and people together. Ordinarily when calling people together, one calls out by name who is invited. Thus, it is appropriate at this time for YHVH to be invoked, in words and syntax that He responds to, e.g., in Hebrew, in Holy [cosmic sounds] language, in prayers that are familiar to Him from long ago. Human beings have to be taught to pray, to articulate experience before God; it is not a natural skill. Ritual prayer adds a routine and organization to life that orients one away from everyday life. It forms a stepping out of time and place. A prayer of greeting is an appropriate place for ritual community prayer, given by a one-time or priestly representative of the community, standing before God and before the people. "Know before whom you stand," is how it is written for Jews.

"Baruch ata Yahweh melech ha'alam borai ne'fashot rabot v'chesronan al kol mah sheh'barah le'ha' chayot bahem nefesh kol chai. Baruch chay ha'olamim." [Blessed are You, YHVH, creator of all life and its needs; for all the things You have created to sustain every living being. Blessed are You Who are the life of the Galaxy.]

"She'hakol ni'heyeh bidvaro. [ ... through Whose word all things are called into being.]

"Sheh'kocho u'gvurato maley olam." [ ...Whose might and power fill the world.]

"Sheh'chalak mai'chach'mato li'rayahv." [ ... Who has given of His wisdom to those who revere Him.]

"Shema yisrael, Yahweh ehad. Baruch shem k'vod malchuto o'olam va-ed.
"V'a-havta et Adonai Elohecha b'chol l'vavcha uv-chol naf-sh'cha uv'chol."
"M'odecha. V'hayu hadvarim ha-aileh asher anochi m'tzav-cha ha-yom al
"L'vavecha, v'sheenantam l'vanecha v'dee-barta bam, b'sheev-t'cha
"B'vaitecha uv-lech-t'cha va'dereck, uv-shach-b'cha uv'kumecha.
"Uk-shartam l'ot al yacecha, v'hayu l'totafot bayn aynecha uch-tavtam al
"Mezuzot baytecha u-vish-arecha.

[Hear, O Israel, Yahweh, is One. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your might. And these words which I command you this day shall be on your heart. you shall teach them to your children, and you shall speak of them when you sit at home and when you go out on the road, when you lie down and when you rise up. And you shall bind them as a sign upon your arm and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes, and you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.]

3. Blessing and Sprinkling Water

Within the sanctuary there stands that which is the very heart of the church--the altar. Since the Catholic traditions give high value to liturgy of the Eucharist, the altar is central, not the pulpit. The altar bears the gift which Christ will offer to the heavenly Father YHVH.

When everyone is In place in the sanctuary, then one [lawful, ordained] priest circles the Altar with incense that symbolizes the prayers and greetings of the people and a second priest sprinkles the floor about with holy water, ceremonially to cleanse the standing of the priests in YHVH's view.

4. Penitential Rite

The Penitential Rite speaks for itself, as a confession of unintentional sins for all the people so they may unburden themselves of guilt and bear their shame responsibly.

5. Kyrie and 6. Gloria

Chanting the Kyrie and Gloria frees the minds of the people from their trespasses, and focuses them on gratitude for the freedom which they anticipate will come from God--Freedom from obsessive sins, from evil judgments, from passivity and hopelessness.

7. Opening Prayer Proper and 8. Liturgy of the Word

The Introductory Rite concludes with a prayer which expresses the theme of the gathering and addresses a petition in the peoples' name to YHVH through the mediation of Christ [due to the fact that the Eucharist is not yet fulfilled for the people and they have NO standing before God until His forgiveness has been articulated in the Eucharist]. The people make this prayer their own with their assent: Amen.

9. First Reading Proper and 10. Responsorial Psalm Proper

There are four Readings from the Old Testament: first, Genesis, the Origins of Mankind; second, the Law [Exodus to Deuteronomy] should be read by Lay readers en toto each calendar year, one segment per Sabbath, including the monthly Eucharist in its schedule. The third reading, a psalm; and the fourth, from the Prophets.

The Psalm should be chanted or sung, led and responded to by the body of priests and monks in attendance [who know chanting]. By this schedule, everyone is made aware of the Eternal Truth that YHVH gave for a truly ETERNAL, timeless people, to establish them forever on the earth.

11. Second Groups of Readings Proper and 12. Alleluias

The fifth reading [from Revelation] is focused on the Apocalypse, and it is also read by a Lay member of the congregation.

Alleluias are chanted in response to the Wisdom of God in seeing Outcomes before they occurred, while the altar candles are being lit in preparation for the gospel of the Manifestation of Yeshua: in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John.

13. Gospel Proper and 14. Homily

The story and words of Yeshua are read by a Priest with expression and force. The homily which follows will interpret and enlarge on this Gospel message, to include, compare and contrast many elements of both Law and Grace. [A reading of the Gospel and its attached homily may also be presented as a dialogue between one lay member and one priest, if it enhances its Point. Or, passages from corroborating literary works--Course In Miracles, Urantia Book, Oahspe, other other inspired works--may be offered to substantiate the faith of the people].

At this point, a hymn is be sung by all that focuses on the Leading of the Holy Spirit and Saving Graces that lead to Redemption of Human life from Lawlessness, Sin and Evil.

15. Profession of Faith [Creed]

The Creed incorporates both the Law of YHVH and the Grace of our Lord Yeshua Christ.

"I believe in God the Father, Almighty YHVH, Maker of Heaven and Earth, and of all that is, seen and unseen, alive and non-living; and in one Lord Yeshua Christ, eternally begotten with the Holy Spirit--true god from True God-- begotten not made, of one Triune Being with the Father during this Dispensation.

"Through the One, all things were made that exist in this Galaxy. For us and for our Redemption from Sin and the Salvation of our Memories, the Omega came down from Heaven. By the power of the Holy Spirit, He was born unto the Virgin Mary and was made a man.

"For our sake He suffered under Pontius Pilate, died and was buried. ... [silence] ... On the third day He rose again, in accordance with the prophecies. He is seated at the right hand of YHVH; and He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead. His kingdom will have no end until the Final Judgment brings all Experience into Unity.

"We believe in the Alpha, the Spirit of God, who proceeded from the Father. With the Father and the Son, SHE is worshipped and glorified. SHe parses Truth and speaks through prophets, what is Holy, Real and Sacred, Active and Necessary.

"We believe in one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. We acknowledge one universal baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead and life in the Eternal world to come by Reason, Holy Law and Grace, . through YHVH's Will and Spirit, Amen."

16. General Intercessions Petitions come first; then Praise.

The Priest begins intercessions with prayers for current troublesome issues, for struggles of the season, and for personalities in turmoil, in charge.

Now the people speak up for themselves according to simple form of prayer, prophecy or petition. [Children, elderly and inactive members are especially encouraged to speak out in prayer at this time.]

Briefly, each individual having a prophecy [a prediction or anticipation of purpose] or a petition to YHVH [for justice, rest, healing or manifestation] reads it before the people. When all petitions have been heard, the Priest says:

"Your Needs are heard by us, your kin and friends and companions and by God Himself. Let us now prepare ourselves to meet these our Fellows' needs out of our own hearts, lives and pockets and serve as the very Fingers of God."

17. Offertory Song

Praises are offered by the people after ushers have passed the cash [AND written Petitions] basket and the chorus has sung a hymn of Praise so people understand their Gifts are part of their Praising [and Petitioning] God as well as a part of Sharing In Service, and not a burden.

Praise can take the FORM of token contributions of a portion of a perceived Blessing, a Promise to extend Charity to someone's [earlier] Petition. Priests are expected to confer gifts in time upon the people and gifts of praise to YHVH as part of their ministries.

"Who speaks now for the Blessings from God that they receive?"

"The Children of God are indeed Blessed and Set Apart."

"Your Praise is an annointing balm in the Heart of Yahweh, whose Will it is that His people be Holy, Sacred and Active in His service."

"Let the people now come forward with their gifts of bread and wine for the Eucharist Table."

18. Preparation of the bread and wine

[Because the Community is Law-abiding, everyone should have thoroughly washed their hands and feet before entering the Eucharist Service. Some people may feel moved to help people get cleaned up and ready. Others may utilize a Rosary or tefillin and phylacteries as aids to focus their devotions and prayers. Communicants do as the spirit leads them in silence.]

Members of the congregation bring the gifts of homemade bread [not store-bought] and wine [homemade, not store-bought] to the altar.

We should pay attention to their symbolism. Bread and wine (in an Oriental setting, daily food) stand for all of us who want to offer ourselves as 'an everlasting gift to God' (Euch. Pr. III). The other gifts [collection of cash, commitments and charity] are added. This money and work is utilized for the poor or sick, and for the support of the church. All giving should be seen as a joyful event, symbolic and actual giving of self.

The bread is whole loaves of real bread, and the wine is real red wine of a fruity homemade variety [pleasant not too dry]. If wine is not available from local sources, send out for some. Wine is essential because Priests are essential, and they are entitled to drink from the cup if they are Law-abiding.

The bread and wine should "pro-cess" to the Altar and be placed upon it--the sacred repast signifying Freedom from extinction.

19. Sign of Peace

Now that all Gifts have been placed on the Altar, the Priest says: "Before we share the table of the Lord, let us turn to our neighbor, and take hands as a sign of love for one another. We ask, May the Peace and the Love of God be with you ... and yours, this day."

The Liturgy of the Eucharist is the second major segment of the Eucharist service ("Mass").

20. The Lord's Prayer

Eucharist begins with everyone reciting the Lord's Prayer together.

21. Prayer over the gifts proper

Then, the Priest says: "At the Last Supper, Christ took bread, gave thanks and praise to the Father, broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying: 'Take this and eat it: this is my body, given for you.'"

22. Breaking of bread

Bread should be broken off the loaf in bite-size pieces as it is passed along from person to person beginning with the officiating Priest, with the musicians and chorus next, and everyone else at random until everyone has received at least one bite from a loaf.

When one loaf is consumed, the next loaf is broken in half and handed along. Any remaining bread is kept circulating until it is all consumed.

"Then he took the cup, again gave thanks, and gave it to his disciples, saying: 'Take this and drink from it: this is the cup of my blood. Do this is memory of me.'"

23. Passing the cup

The priest and a few people will come up to the altar to drink from the cup of wine as it is passed from one to the other. The wine is given to Individuals who seek to be Lawful [kept healthy and harmless in the earth] by practicing YHVH's Holy Law from the Torah [who substitute Mercy (Exclusion) for capital punishment.]

These abide by Commands to feature a Mezuzah [doorpost identity], shabbos [Share YHVH's Rest], mikvah and Al netilat yadayim "Personal hygiene", likro et ha'hallel, "praising and blessing God," "honoring one's parents," Leyshev ba'sukkah, "lawful kitchen and humane animal slaughter" as well as wearing undyed apparel, recycling waste, utilizing renewable energy, working a trade [no interest income] and living by income-sharing, not by "personal preferences."

These are features of the Mosaic Law that evolve a corps of Eternal Souls on this Planet into a Sacred and Eternal company. Any person known to follow The Law is free to avail themselves of the Cup of wine; and what they as Initiates come to expect is that the cup signifies the cup of the wrath of the nations that they must drink, as Un-doers of what is Harmful, as Disrupters of Neglect, as Rebels against Greed and Resisters against Thought Control.

Naturally, there will always be a Diversity of perspectives on this Planet; naturally there will be opportunists and merchants and inventors and technologists. But the Planet that has a Lawful Core [corps] of Jews remains viable for all Eternity.

Christians who do not practice the Law neither serve as Priests nor drink wine at Eucharist; they still rely on the Redemption of Yeshua for their Salvation. Christians who may decide and consent to be Lawful and become Spiritual Initiates may drink the wine and pray to YHVH directly, without Intercession by the Alpha [Holy Spirit], the Omega [the Christ], the Virgin Mary or any of the Saints. They are becoming Cosmic Souls in their own right, as heirs of David also.

24. Greeting

"Yahweh appreciates Joy you bring to this sanctuary. Your tears are Yahweh's Way of Blessing your Heart with His Will. Your tears and His tears are shared together, while the Planet continues to struggle with Sin and Sickness."

25. Blessing

"May Yahweh's Will and Spirit direct your every Step." and the Congregation enjoins: "Thanks be to God ..." Priests, Deacons, Nuns, Monks, Initiates file out behind the Tokens. Everyone else follows.

26. Silence After Communion

Silence after Communion will extend until each and every person has filed out of the sanctuary. If persons wish to remain to meditate for a while, half an hour is not unreasonable.

---

Commitment

Now that you realize this is not a "church" in which a single line of thought predominates, think about the role in this community that your form of Godly devotion might find suitable, fit and challenging:

• If you are outraged or insulted by this book, then truly this is not your right place at this time. You have no obligations to us; you are free to go.
  
• If you are injured or infected, the person who gave you this book will get to you a hospital and provide you with a social worker to help you.
  
• If you are disgusted or cynical, perhaps your freedom is more dear to you than a role at this time. God bless you, and go in peace.
  
• If you are suffering or exhausted, tell the person who provided you with this book that you really are not up to undertaking a project right now, and give the book back or take it to a homeless shelter where you live. You are excused from any further obligations.
  
• If you are lonely, read the book through again and visualize a place for yourself in its pages. Then come back to it when that seems appropriate to you.
  
• If you are just curious, let the person who gave you this book answer your questions before you take it up or put it down.
  
• If you are full of doubt and worry that this is just another cult or sect, let some time pass and think about it again after Aeonian Cluster gains an honored reputation.
  
• But if you are hopeful that some good thing is always possible, then come on. Come see the drama that acting out "good roles" can produce. Email us for further information at chaiyah@mountain.net .
