F.: You're invited to look at other historical events to see what life has been like with your dualities of “right or wrong”…“good or bad”…“moral or immoral,” and to see how effectively the laws of man and god have been working...or not. The laws of the Western world are Anglo-Saxon laws. Those Aryans have historically been a rigid people with a propensity for rules and regulations, a demand that their rules be adhered to exactly, and a set of strict, often lethal, punishments for violators. Their way has had thousands of years to “whip the earth’s population into shape.” How has that worked?

Many thousands of years ago, in the areas now called “Asia” and “India,” lived a group of largely-realized people. They had the understanding. They lived intuitively and peacefully. They claimed no ownership of land. They had no written code of laws or rules from man or god. Yet they lived in peace for the most part. Their lives were calm and orderly. None of their languages had words for ownership, greed, war, my, mine, yours, ours, or theirs. Then, the warmongering Aryans arrived, were greeted warmly, and proceeded to slaughter the darker-skinned people. After the Anglos imposed their love of rules and order and ideas and beliefs on the original inhabitants (and began killing those who did not adhere to their demands) the tribes began fleeing to the east. They would leave their homeland and re-settle in the Americas. They brought the understanding with them.

Ironically, years later the Aryans would move to the west, would settle in Germany and the U.K., and would eventually invade the Americas with other Europeans. The descendants of those who had fled the Aryan slaughter thousands of years earlier then found the same people invading again. Once again, the Aryans arrived, were greetly warmly, and proceeded to slaughter the darker-skinned people. An estimated 150,000,000 would be killed in the three “Americas” and the survivors would have Anglo rules and dogma and ideas and concepts forced on them again. The true message—of the actual understanding of the functioning of the totality, of living in touch with reality, and of living harmoniously and spontaneously—went underground. Eventually, the understanding would be lost as the Anglo-Saxons brought the rules and restrictions that were to insure good and right and moral conduct and prevent bad, wrong and immoral conduct. How has that worked?

Rules and laws intended to control people and to force them to behave according to someone else’s definitions of “right or wrong”…“good or bad”…“moral or immoral” have been imposed on one group by another for thousands of years across the globe. The problem is, those concepts are all relative: what some see as “good,” others see as “bad.” Some Anglos thought it a good idea to kill all Jews. Others thought it a bad idea. WHO is to define the standards? “God,” some say, but according to written accounts, the God of Abraham, Christ and Mohammed has killed more in anger than all humans in history combined. Talk about chaos: fire and brimstone, earthquakes, pestilence, and then flooding that killed them all except one family. Many persons also claim the right to define what is right or wrong, but again, inconsistencies in the definitions remain. The result is more dualities—all of which are lies—and more relativistic beliefs, all of which lead to chaos.

In the history of humanity, all the efforts to force anyone’s definitions of “right or wrong”…“good or bad”…“moral or immoral” have failed and will always fail. The efforts can only lead to problems in relationships and war. Morality cannot be legislated or dictated since it cannot even be defined, and in the U.S., citizens cannot even agree on what is so wrong that it deserves the “ultimate punishment.” An ABC News poll last summer found that “most Americans still favor the death penalty, despite questions about the way it is being carried out around the country.” The report noted, “Death Penalty Remains in Favor: The public still supports the ultimate punishment. Flaws in the death penalty system have not dampened the public’s support of it.” 60-70% still favor the Anglo-Saxon’s strict approach and “killing ‘em.” 30-40% understand that crimes of passion and desperation are not deterred by any laws.

Objective observers see that the laws you speak of have not prevented the prevalent chaos in persons’ homes, on the streets, or around the globe. Objective observers see that the efforts of persons to impose their will and values on "others" actually generate frustration and limitation and chaos. What is the only solution that historical facts reveal has ever worked? The approach that eliminates the emotional intoxication and ego-states that drive chaotic behavior. The approach that provides recognition of the limitlessness that We Are. The approach that reveals the Oneness and eliminates the duality of “us vs. them.” The approach that eliminates the deep desire to control and the incessant drive for power that allows for control. The approach that, having eliminated such desire, also eliminates all abuse of power. Please enter into the silence of contemplation. [Tomorrow, the conclusion]
