Man's Ontology

The Mystic Pride is a feature of the inner PHARISEE. It is very difficult to point out the faults of those who are "sincerely mistaken" since they feel super-transcended, they claim to be Gods, without having put their foot in the first step of the Holy Stairway yet (Weor, 1967). Unquestionably, one cannot become a true enlightened if one is full of Pride. I could never think of a God who is drunk, who fornicates, who is adulterous, fighter, selfish, envious, jealous, lustful, etc. We are all of it, indeed (Weor, 2000).
So on the subject of God's ontological distinction from men; that we are vile worms in the mud of the earth and not God by nature, my favorite proof text for this when discussing with new-agers are:

Put them in [reverent] fear of You, O LORD, So that the nations may know they are but [frail and mortal] men. Selah (Psalm 9:20). Now the Egyptians are men and not God, And their horses are flesh and not spirit, And the LORD will stretch out His hand, And he (Egypt) who helps will stumble, And he (Judah) who is helped will fall, And all of them will perish together (Isaiah 31:3). The word of the LORD came again to me, saying, [2]“Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “Because your heart is proud And you have said and thought, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of the gods In the heart of the seas’, Yet you are [only] a man [weak, feeble, made of the earth] and not God, Though you [imagine yourself to be more than mortal and] think your mind is as [wise as] the mind of God. Ezekiel 28:1-2) [7] So I will bring strangers (Babylonians) upon you, the most ruthless and violent of the nations. And they will draw their swords Against the beauty of your wisdom And defile your splendor. [9] ‘Will you still say, “I am a god,” In the presence of him who kills you? But you are [only] a man [made of the earth] and not God, In the hands of those who wound and profane you. 
You should mind that pride is not only based on social standings, on money, on family lineage, etc. There is another kind of Pride, which is much worse than the previous forms of pride. I am referring to the MYSTICAL PRIDE. So, first of all in these studies, we must urgently eliminate from ourselves the Mystical Pride, which is very dangerous. If we succeed, then the precious virtue of Humility will flourish in ourselves.

When I am Weak, Then I am Strong

Adam was a master teacher who named all animals according to their nature. He gave the snake its name not only due to its beguiling wisdom which it exhibited when it tricked Eve, but also because of its sophistication, insight, and right discernment. A little-known fact is that the serpent uses its belly to sense an earthquake days before it occurs and it is out of right discernment that it maneuvers through its rocky habitat without ever being cut. After Eve took some of the forbidden fruits and ate them, she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate too. Consequently, Adam became guilty of ushering sin into the world because he sinned with eyes wide open, unlike Eve who was deceived. Sin brought death with it. Death spread to all men because all men have sinned [Rom 5:12]. Our condition is so desperate that, biblically speaking, we cannot overcome it alone [Jere 13:23]. There is no moral philosophy, mental exercise, or group therapy that can get rid of this sinful n...

Love in SWS & Show-offism

Neely Fuller, Jr. — 'If you don't understand white supremacy/racism ,everything that you know will only confuse you. Black people have a habit of talking about black love which is something absolutely false because it cannot exist in the system of white supremacy in which in many cases black people don't even like each other. Reckon how legendary black on black crime is. Black people are prisoners of war and in the united-independent compensatory code, Neely Fuller informs all captives that this meaninglessly thrown around word called love is synonymous with justice. You can't have one without the other hence you can't have justice and white supremacy in the same universe at the same time. Consequently, you can't have love either since love and justice are the same. Justice is guaranteeing that no person is mistreated and guaranteeing that the person that needs the help most gets the most constructive help. Now no black person can guarantee that. White supremacy...
