LICENSE MASQUERADING AS LIBERTY

 

"Just as every cop is a criminal and all the sinners, saints.

When heads is tails just call me Lucifer.

I'm in need of some restraint."


(The Rolling Stones)

 

When Lucifer turned his back on divine obligations he came to embrace a peculiar, self-motivated variation on liberty that is unintelligent, unconditioned and uncontrolled.

It is unintelligent because where basic intelligence and true liberty are progressively related to reality; Lucifer's approach ignored the inevitable consequence of building foundations on a plane of unreality. He denied the simple truth that sin is a technique of self-obliteration, and that within each sin is concealed the seed of its own destruction.

It is unconditioned because where true liberty is tempered, ever mindful and respectful of the rights of others; Lucifer's brand would invariably lead to abject bondage. Pride of self, self-deception, self-assertion, self-determination and self-motivation yield a selfish desire to crave and possess and, if left unchecked, lead to the eventual exploitation of others.

It is uncontrolled because as true liberty is the reward for progress; impatience and self-indulgence short circuit the time required for growth thereby making self-control and self-mastery ever elusive goals.

An experiential universe does not operate independently of time, or in a way that is unmindful of time, at least not for long. To circumvent time would eventuate in the large-scale theft of personal liberty as it would serve to deprive each individual of the opportunity for meaningful growth. It stands as the greatest threat to freewill choice, and the opportunity to participate in one's own creation, just to the extent that it creates victims of circumstance.

No parent would allow an infant to cross a busy road, to play with matches or to follow just any pleasing stranger. Adolescents too, while quick to assert adult status, need the wisdom, judgment and experience of parents. Two eyes are essential to depth of perspective. Two complementary parents can give the child a superior understanding of those things, meanings and values that are the essential building blocks of true character. While adversity may be occasioned on families, only that child deprived of challenges through meaningful diversity is truly impoverished.

It has been clearly demonstrated that the human races of Earth are at a stage of relative infancy despite assertions to the contrary. It is clear because it is only a child that evaluates every experience almost exclusively in accordance with its pleasure content. That's why Lucifer's personal liberty package was such an easy sell. It appealed to certain debased tendencies of the immature races and excited those who found themselves under the rule of oppressors and tyrants operating within an immature evolutionary framework.

Working for and sowing seeds of self-denial for the attainment of a worthy goal, societal or personal, is the mark of maturity. Look beyond the false pretenses of the self-proclaimed "God of Liberty" to the confusion in his wake. It is easy to understand the broad appeal of rights without responsibility, of perks without consequences. What chance did the young races of Earth ever have in the face of such temptation?

Even those of the higher orders who've enjoyed a more refined nurturing environment and insight from the time of their creation were not immune to the seduction. There were tremendous losses among the untested orders of life as quantified by the Revelator's statement, "and his tail drew a third part of the stars of heaven and cast them down in darkness."

On Earth, in John's day, the dragon had long since become the symbol of the Lucifer Rebellion. And what's with the dragon's head or heads? It seems that with every written account on Earth, the beast grows more heads. When you cut off the head of a dragon does it grow another? Is the dragon also the beast? Do multiple heads suggest multiple personalities in the syndrome sense, modes in the modal sense or separate distinct personalities in the individual sense? When scholars, through footnotes recently added to Earth's historical record, state that the devil, Satan and Lucifer are one and the same, do they really know? What is the basis for such "knowledge"?

Sojourners on the planet are understandably confused about the beast. Such symbolic representations at face value would seem to have been outgrown. After all, if they only serve to confuse they should be discarded. But they were chosen because they represent an ongoing struggle with a morphing, shape-shifting adversary whose very nature is difficult to comprehend. The caricature is not only a correct one, it is a serviceable one.

The first three heads of the dragon, Lucifer, Satan and the so-called Devil are now in custody. Abbadon, Beelzebub and their rebel associates are still on Earth. Once again, it begs the question, why? Why would we delay the apprehension and adjudication of these and other lesser deceivers? Why not fully eradicate the demonic influence altogether for the good of the planet's general population?

Why? Because the knowledge of good and evil is not something to simply be contained once the issues have been raised. Such an insurrection cannot be contained through a cowardly suppression or other arbitrary method. It would never be fully and finally settled absent discourse.

In addition to the issues concerning free will mentioned earlier in these arguments, the situation demands the fullest, most exhaustive examination and debate. An infection is not to be ignored and sunlight is, after all, still the best disinfectant. If, while on Earth, the person Jesus referred to as "the prince of this world" is also the "prince of darkness" what does that highly concentrated statement mean to the people of the planet? Does it imply some sort of spiritual doomsday shroud ala Dr. Strangelove? Would such a shroud prevent the disinfecting sunlight from penetrating the minds and hearts of those infected?

Chicago Mobster Sam Giancana, while reflecting upon the death of his wife and of his father, said; "Ever notice how the sunlight and the shadows make a cemetery look like rows of piano keys?" He went on to tell his brother "no matter how you play, this …, this is where you end up."

It must be understood that just as the hope of divine character and the wellspring of spiritual attainment are found deep within each of us, so it is for the people of Earth. For those who must evolve, faith must be born from within. If this faith is permitted to grow strong, it becomes an effective shield against the sophistries of sin. Light dispels darkness and even when all about them is in darkness, people of faith enjoy a Great Spirit luminosity that emanates from within. They exude a light of Truth that is capable of penetrating any shroud of darkness except, perhaps, the one that is self-imposed. As the prophet said: "when the light of the eyes is darkness, how great is that darkness."
