The Way of Salvation

Every person shows from his earthly heritage a distinct nature. Thanks to resonance, we shall consider the idealist. He lives in the world for his ideals; a man of principles, intelligent, modest, moderate in everything, patient; and a man with refined manners, dreamy by nature, or a deep thinker; a man of dignity who guards his reputation as one would take care of a thin glass. 
His contact with the earth is like that of a bird who builds its nest upon a tree in the air, descends to the earth to pick up grain when hungry, and then flies off. He dwells on the earth because he is born on the earth, but in reality, he lives in his thoughts. The earth and all that belongs to the earth is his need, not his want. 
The idealist's belief is in his scripture and savior. He believes because it is written in the scripture, or taught by the savior. His belief, of course, will not change with the weather, but still, it may waver, if by any means reason was awakened in his soul. At least it would be dimmed just as the light of a candle would become dimmed by the rising sun. When the sun of intelligence rises, it would break through and scatter the clouds of emotion and devotion made by this belief.

 The faith which supercedes shall now be established on conviction; not just reason, but every part of his being shall be convinced and assured of the truth of things, and nothing on earth can change it. If a person were to say to him, 'Do not cross over this place, there is water here,' he will say, 'No, it is land. I can see for myself.' It is just like seeing with the eyes all that one believes. 

This belief is the belief of the seer whose knowledge is his eyewitness, and therefore his belief will last forever and ever. Of course, as a soul evolves from stage to stage, it must break the former belief in order to establish the latter.  The latter belief consists of the unfathomable truth of Yahuah's glory as it has been written in 1 Corinthians 2:9: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.” That is the final revelation that brings the seer to the shores of the ultimate truth.
Why is there so much suffering in life, when Yahuah is described as merciful? This fact can be understood, not merely by believing in Yahuah, but in knowing Him. In Isaiah 66:1, He said that Heaven is His throne, and the earth is the footstool of His feet. In Ephesians 4:4, the holy spirit expressly says, "there is one body and one Spirit."
So suppose your hands dropped a heavy weight upon your feet and hurt them, are your hands to be blamed? No, for they share the pain with the feet, and although the feet seem to have been hurt, yet the one that feels hurt is your absolute being. In reality that being feels hurt, and therefore the hand shares the hurt of the foot. So it is with Yahuah. Our very life is His, and He is not void of the feeling of joy or of pain which we feel. In reality, He feels what we imagine we feel, yet at the same time, His perfect Being keeps Him above all earthly joys and pains; and our imperfection limits us, so that we become subject to all joys and pains, however small they may be.
One might ask, 'Why tread the path of righteousness and piety; why spend your life in teaching and proclaiming the gospel?' It is natural. Every loving person who has been saved from sin has a desire to see others partake in the glory of Yahusha. On the other hand, it seems that some persons are quite happy in committing sin. But sin can never make one happy. Even where there is pleasure in it, for the time being, it would re-echo, and the re-echo of a false note is never pleasing to the musical ear for the wages of sin is death but the gift of Yahuah is eternal life in Yahusha [Romans 6:23].

However, the whole of life's sins may be forgiven by divine mercy in one moment, just as a chemical solution may wash away the stains of years from the surface of a rock in a moment. But if a person has continued to commit sins, at every sin he has lost his belief in the judgment of Yahuah and in His power. Therefore he has sown the seed of disbelief in his heart and has reared this plant by his sins. That being so, how can he, in the end, develop sufficient faith in a moment to believe in divine mercy? The simplest thing becomes the most difficult for him because he shall instead feel condemned.

For this reason, the saints taught the natural men faith as the first lesson in salvation. Those are forgiven the sins of their whole life, who have always believed that any moment death might come and have safeguarded themselves against doing anything that does not meet with the pleasure of Yahuah, and whenever, owing to human imperfection, they have failed in doing right, they most earnestly have asked forgiveness.

Contemporary Game

Game is, at its most basic level, a set of behavioral changes to life skills based on psychological and sociological concepts to enhance intersexual relationships between men and women. The supremacy of the Feminine Imperative is threatened by true emancipation from it. Consequently, Men with the vision to see past this are labeled Dark, Sociopathic and Deviant by the imperative. The imperative had to classify Game for itself - Evil vs. Good Game. Of course, the good is defined by whatever benefits the imperative, while the evil is defined by whatever benefits the masculine ‘selfishly.' Ref: The Rational Male

Unified Field Theory Psychiatry

Whether one examines the microcosm of the individual white personality or the macrocosm of the global white collective, the law of white genetic survival stands. That law can be stated in the following equation: white power over non-white powerlessness, or w÷nw. Nonetheless, the implication of the law for whites is a failure of individual and collective white self-respect, based upon the negative image and concept of the self.  In the white collective, there is self-esteem, which is a compensatory inflated sense of the self, but there is not fundamental respect for the genetic white self. The implications for psychiatry are as follows: based on a negative image and concept of self, brain-computer evolves pattern of neurochemistry, logic, thought, speech, action, emotional response, and perception that are self- and group-negating and productive of disharmony in the universe. These are patterns of neurochemistry and behavior consistent with various degrees of mental illness.  B...

Tale of Two Wolves

This idea that you have so much goodness in you that you can speak your desires into the universe, and god will appear from a jinni lamp and grant you your wishes because you are such a noble person created to be a winner and champion is a Sheol-bred lie. That is because inside man exists two wolves at war with one another. There's a good one and a bad one. The one who wins this battle is the one you feed.  In the light of the abovementioned native American folktale, St. Paul examined his inner experience and saw another law in his cravings and desires, warring against the principle of his mind, and bringing him into captivity to the rule of the flesh that is in his appetites and wants.  In conclusion to this observation, he exclaimed, "wretched and miserable man that I am! Who will [rescue me and] set me free from this body of death [this corrupt, mortal existence]?."  That exclamation encapsulates humanity's occulted struggle to understand what they do, despite expr...
