A person has to see a boundary as elementary if they want the freedom to be them self and to have the possibility to find true intimate friendship, it helps define where desires are upfront. Most of the time a person is afflicted or victimized due to ignorance or misunderstanding, so a boundary has to be established to recognize a trust because of contrary desires, dreams, and how one obtains worth. A standard is everything for unity in a marriage or in a kingdom, but not directly to see a dream come true, but as a wall to keep out mimicry and remind those from within on a day of confusion of their first, chief, and shared desire. A standard is a documented witness that reveals the purpose of the boundary to outsiders of the dire intensions of those on the inside. But even if one knows a theory is good they cannot believe it without seeing it in action, so the standard only is useful when action defines it making the word holy or standard true. An outsider when considering their options in deciding a standard to trust in can only see a reality when they observe those on the inside with their hearts laid bare in a vulnerable moment, but covered by sacrifices from those within the same boundary demonstrating an action of true interest; sanctifying each other with their clean sacrifices to see a dream give birth into reality. Then to an outsider this government or marriage is not a total mystery because the standard reveals a wall of protection to an entrustment that is gladly labored for that is sacred from within, or a kingdom from heaven. Because those within have value and purpose the children will have a unique gift to offer upon maturity and the proper time, which will be worth an outsider's respect and might be a trust worth his labor.
Vulnerability is fundamental for intimate friendship, not only to share a dream and partake in fulfilling each other's desires, but to pour out the sincerest, untainted, and most valued part of one's self and strength to be immersed/covered within an even greater glory to facilitate a dream from heaven giving birth into reality. Complete vulnerability /freedom is only possible with complete trust; trust is only possible when an unchanging fundamental standard is declared upfront to avoid misunderstanding and to bring agreement toward sincere common interests that are worth all one's energy so sincere interest can be returned/risked with some joy. So, before real and sacred treasures can be shared there has to be a reliable observable witness that the common interests, defined by the standard, are genuinely valued because there is mimicry to enslave another for a contrary dream or rob those when they are vulnerable of their value or inheritance. And a bad marriage may corrupt the children because a dream from heaven didn't bring forth into reality. But when there is a reliable witness to each one's real and true labor for some kind of real entrustment, then a joyful 'I do' is possible and a clean vulnerable sacrifice can be made with some security for a door to heaven to open and a dream to become real, where everything is possible because the boundary made contrary desires evident evading illusion or feigned interest that taint an intimate reality; possibly corrupting valued treasures, breaking trust in heaven, and promoting terror instead.
And it must also be said that a physical boundary may protect your physical being, but only a metaphysical boundary can shelter your inner being and value. And there can be no real value without trust. Who truly values/invests into what will fail them? And so, when one is at the point where they are really invited to eat and drink from a heavenly table, what one trusts/believes in from the inside, they labor for on the outside in that the metaphysical can manifest itself in the actions of the physical reality so that there is a witness, and this is where boundaries/standards become connected from spiritual to physical. So then the only real value we have are from the inspirations we embrace and move with because we had courted the love of a glory that can bring its dream/desire into reality and fulfillment —we are then valued as a part of its dream/desire coming true/real. What value could those destine for death really have, they have no dream to come true that is worth their effort and strength, for real! And the dead could only possibly dream forever – but will it be based on reality!? How will they ever know, and to whose credit/value? They had no real and true interest worth their trouble to even try a real glory/trust? What value did death give them that it was worth giving up spending their energy and wasting their time?
Of course there are dreams based on past experiences and there are dreams that do not come from heaven. But the dreams we are addressing are about having a desire fulfilled and about the future, and a new world. What is it or who inspires these dreams because they are spiritual. There also is more than one heaven depending on how one defines or interprets their God, or god. We want to find where the boundary is if we are looking for something real, or at least if we value our hard labor and time. Otherwise the only option is to mock everything for entertainment, but then only to condemn one's self when they have no return for their interest on the day of trouble, and when the credit lender comes demanding a return on his interests and investment. If that one's life is even spared they will be slaves because they do not want to see anyone's dream come into reality and only live for their belly. We have to labor for someone's kingdom dream to come true! Is one going to be covered or enslaved in their vulnerability, or will love be a mystery because there was no boundary or standard worth ones labor and sacrifice?
A person interprets reality, or at least a part of it by where they get worth and this is due to a metaphysical connection whether they are conscious of it or not. But trust is only valuable to those who value an intimate friendship with someone outside of them self that deposited something inside of them that is fulfilling. Those involved rely on something treasured being covered in a protective boundary by the greater glory — that is they value what their master values because that is where their desires are fulfilled in a great measure, the dream shared, and intimate friendships grow with sincere caring as a reality.
Many psychologists have tried to find out what has taken some of their clients' captive or what mystery causes them to interpret life the way they do – in other words what masters certain people? So in past practices, some psychologists have tried to get their patients to interpret what they see in some abstract image in hopes to understand how their desires might be coloring how they see reality and causing certain reactions in their environment. But most psychologists today just issue out drugs because they themselves are only looking to find comfort in death. They try to alter the mind with chemicals to numb undesirable perceptions because they do not take to heart that love does affect one's chemistry and neural connections over time. Clients aren't being analyzed to see what kinds of inspirations are captivating them: the right kind of trust or affection? It's as if no one seems to recognize boundaries to contrary desires, and is a clue desires have become only cosmetic and one's love unspiritual because one has become to comfortable within death {no value worth their sweat and blood within their own boundary}.
Now let's attempt to discover what the Greek painter was attempting to reveal, and I think we will find that this portrait is revealing a human struggle that has meaning today. As shown in Fig.6; going from left to right, first there is the serpent, then Atlas, Zeus’ eagle, then Prometheus who is bound. And Zeus' eagle is picking out Prometheus' heart for stealing fire from heaven. And it appears that they are standing on some kind of pedestal that is serving as an altar for Atlas's sacrifice. Now we have to define all the terms before any meaning can be made from the abstract or what conflict the artist is trying to reveal. So bear with me because we must go through some length to discover the definition of the objects as they apply to a reality, to discover a perception of the past and if our perception is different after the objects are defined.
Even to this day the serpent has always represented smoothness, genius, and cunning, pretty much throughout the whole world, so this symbol we shouldn't struggle too much trying to interpret. And indeed in a world where no boundaries are valued or honored this would be a desirable trait and might be considered a place to find wisdom if one could not find a trust that is true to cover one's vulnerability. But as irony would have it the serpent is empowering Atlas to keep a boundary from being crossed, so there is still some deeper meaning to be understood or interpreted.
Who is Atlas? Atlas today is depicted as one who holds up the world which brings us to an important question, can a man who is made from the dust of the earth, here today and gone tomorrow, save or even destroy the world, scientifically speaking? And if he could what is he attempting to save the world from and for who? But regardless Atlas does represent, world government under one authority. But in the original rendition Atlas is not holding up the earth, but holding the heavens up, or away, particularly away from Prometheus; he is keeping Prometheus from crossing a boundary to heaven. One might conclude at this point Atlas is either trying to represent God or trying to take his place, so then who does Atlas identify with as his father? What is interesting is that the Atlantic Ocean is named after Atlas. Plato said Poseidon named the Atlantic after his first son, Atlas, and granted him chief king over the fabled land of Atlantis (Jowett, 1920, The Dialogues of Plato: Volume Two, Random House: NY, p78). Atlantis was an island which later sank during an earth quake because of the instability of the earth's crust from a past catastrophic flood.
I would like to point out that you will find there was a Global flood catastrophe around the time of Poseidon which is related with Noah from the Bible. Actually if one investigates the very earliest of Greek mythology, because it gets perverted later, one finds a humanistic interpretation of Genesis as Robert Bowie Johnson, Jr. has written about in his book "The Parthenon Code, Mankind's History in Marble." The world flood and climate change was an act of God, but Noah gets blamed or credited for it later by some of his offspring. Zeus and Hera are Adam and Eve deified, but they were evicted from paradise for buying into the temptation to take Gods place and became enslaved to the serpent.
Genesis 3:4-7;But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took the fruit thereof and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. ( KJV )
Noah was known as Nereus to the ancient Greeks. Nereus was later
renamed Triton because he had wisdom and favor with God, and then
an identification switch takes place to prevent the conviction that
humanity was separated from the love of their life, and labor.
Poseidon takes away the old salt sea mans
credit and
position of prominence in the ancient world, as Johnson
concludes. Johnson, R.B. (n.d.) is an expert
in understanding some of the messages on ancient Greek pottery and
quotes some ancient manuscripts;
In great fear of death and in search of the meaning of his life, Gilgamesh seeks after the one human believed to be immortal, Utnapishtim, survivor of the world-engulfing Flood. Utnapishtim is the Noah of Genesis and the Nereus of Greek religion. The hero Gilgamesh is the Nimrod of Genesis and the Herakles of Greek religion.
In Genesis 6:9, we read,Noah is a just man.The ancient Greek poet Hesiod wrote in his Theogony,And Sea begat Nereus, the eldest of his children, who is true and lies not: and men call him the Old Man because he is trusty and gentle and does not forget the laws of righteousness, but thinks just and kindly thoughts.Utnapishtim (ut nephis tam) in Shemitic/Hebrew meansa living beacon of righteousness.(retrieved on Jan.27, 2012 from, www.solvinglight.com/features/37NoahsPartIII.htm, para.14)
Then Noah built an altar to the Lord and taking some of the clean animals and birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. The Lord smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart:
Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures as I have done.(KJV)
The only sacrifice that was accepted was when it was one's best prized from the flock, with the altar being sanctified in its blood, and with fire to consume the fat. In a metaphysical sense the person making the offering was consumed with the rest of the offering if the offering was from their sincere heart because a shared affliction and of a shared desire to re-establish a trust from heaven. The fat representing the folly or insincerity one is prone to if one only puts on an act to find comfort in death, or self-glory.
Leviticus 4:3-12 {sin offering for priest or community}If the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, he must bring to the Lord a young bull [ male ] without defect as a sin offering for the sin he has committed. He is to present the bull at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the Lord. He is to lay his hand on its head and slaughter it before the Lord. Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull's blood and carry it into the Tent of Meeting. He is to dip his finger into the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before the Lord, in front of the curtain of the sanctuary. The priest shall then put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense that is before the Lord in the Tent of Meeting. The rest of the bull's blood he shall poor out at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. He shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering – the fat that covers the inner parts or is connected to them, both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the covering of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys – just as the fat is removed from the ox sacrificed as a fellowship offering. Then the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering. But the hide of the bull and all of its flesh, as well as the head and legs, the inner parts and offal – that is the rest of the bull – he must take outside the camp to a place ceremonial clean, where the ashes are thrown, and burn it in a wood fire on the ash heap. (NIV, emphasis mine)
Leviticus 6:24-30The sin offering is to be slaughtered before the Lord in the place the burnt offering is slaughtered; it is most holy. The priest who offers it shall eat it; it is to be eaten in a holy place, in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting. …But any sin offering whose blood is brought into the Tent of Meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place must not be eaten; it must be burned. (NIV, emphasis mine)
Leviticus 3:1-5 {fellowship offerings}IF SOMEONE'S offering is a fellowship offering and he offers an animal from the herd, whether male or female, he is to present before the Lord an animal without defect. He is to lay his hand on the head of his offering and slaughter it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. Then Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood against the altar on all sides. From the fellowship offering he is to bring a sacrifice made to the Lord by fire: all the fat that covers the inner parts or is connected to them, both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the covering of the liver, which he will remove with the kidneys. Then Aaron's sons are to burn it on the altar on top of the burnt offering that is made on the burning wood, as an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the Lord. (NIV, emphasis mine)
Leviticus 7:13-17Along with his fellowship offering of thanksgiving he is to present an offering with cakes of bread made with yeast. He is to bring one of each kind as an offering, a contribution to the Lord; it belongs to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the fellowship offerings. The meat of his fellowship offering of thanksgiving must be eaten on the day it is offered; he must leave none of it till morning. If however, his offering is the result of a vow or is a freewill offering, the sacrifice shall be eaten on the day he offers it, but anything left over may be eaten on the next day. Any meat of the sacrifice left over till the third day must be burned up. (NIV, emphasis mine)
Leviticus 6:8-13 {keep the fire burning}The Lord said to Moses: “Give Aaron and his sons this command: ‘These are the regulations for the burnt offering: The burnt offering is to remain on the altar hearth throughout the night, till morning, and the fire must be kept burning on the altar. The priest then shall put on his linen cloths, with linen undergarments next to his body, and shall remove the ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed on the altar and place them beside the altar. Then he is to take off these clothes and put on others, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean. The fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must not go out. Every morning the priest is to add firewood and arrange the burnt offering on the fire and burn the fat of the fellowship offerings on it. The fire must be kept burning on the altar continuously; it must not go out. (NIV, emphasis mine)
Fire is considered a purifier in a physical sense, but when combined with a true clean sacrifice with a desire to establish a trust outside of one's self that really is from heaven, another dimension becomes active. REAL fire from heaven will purify whatever it touches, and if it spreads, will bring a taste of a kingdom from heaven to earth in reality. It will set its people free to be themselves so they can acquire true intimate friendships and restore their true identity with a covering through God their Father. This fire from heaven cleanses the folly or fat from one's heart giving one Life and eyes to see a reality within this true, real, but metaphysical light. Wisdom is also acquired while walking in this re-established trust that is greater than one's self. Only God is good and powerful enough to do his own work! Because death has no hold on his love, his favor opens a door in heaven at the proper time and empowers a person to go beyond their self and do the impossible, which brings about the side effect of sincere worship because of the greater glory one was covered in within an impossible predicament. Love does come from heaven and is related to this metaphysical but real fire, but I wish for everyone to note that although technically there is only one place called heaven where Living God administrates his will, there is another heaven, another love and intelligence. There is a glory that will shelter one from reality to find worth and comfort in death, and there is a glory that despises death and will bring one into reality with a clean self-sacrifice and a promise of a totally new world. Both trusts labor for a dream to give birth, but one is not based on truth and is a perversion of reality.
So how should we interpret Prometheus? Is he a parishioner in
church who was promised heaven but instead the boundary to heaven was
blocked away and grace was granted to
illegitimate children
as long as they served the church? To serve the church and to
serve God may look the same from a distance but they are not.
Jesus said, Woe to you, teachers of the law and
Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in
men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let
those enter who are trying to
(Mat.23:13, NIV).
Prometheus was accused of stealing fire from heaven by Zeus, so
maybe Prometheus represents the Son of Man who wants freedom/
independence from the gods of the world, for the fire/love
and interest of his Creator? Or is Prometheus another person who
is attempting to usurp Zeus, the prince of this world in his
kingdom, and become a legacy in taking his place? Which
brings one to a question: if one could rule over Lucifer,
which a living dirt bag could never really do, would that make
one better or worse than devils? Lucifer is the steward of this
world because God gave him the position, so why is Lucifer in
trouble with God? To rule over Lucifer against his will, God
never even did and has never done; instead he established a boundary
in heaven, so that no one would be disrespected. In this way the
re-establishment of trust is at least possible if a boundary/
standard is seen as honorable to opposing interests. Also with the
option to find independence from the world through a sanctified blood
sacrifice with a real and true interest to a doorway to heaven
–a friendship/dependency on God who provides for his true
children {cling to the life that is in his desire/word}
A person has freewill for a reason but with great cost when trust is
broken! A willing self-sacrifice is needed, and fire to
burnout the BS, corruption or
fat. But
there is no doubt to the spiritual that the abstract depicts that a
boundary is important to either keep a freedom {shelter a real
interest from a contrary interest} or to keep one under a
power of enslavement, for a metaphysical desire to be fulfilled.
A metaphysical desire can only be inspired by a god who was born in
heaven (referred to as angels), or God himself who dwells
in heaven. By the way we are already in Purgatory
it's the place where one get's cleansed from a conflicting
dream, it means Satan's seat,
but if one hasn't been bathed in a higher glory they are
desensitized from a reality. But don't take anyone's
word for it SEE for yourself; the message of the world's heart is
being broadcast on television all the time. But is to conquer the
world about a trust that is true, or to labor for interest within
a defined and sacred boundary, so that a door to heaven might be
opened?
Evolution in a metaphysical sense is about being transformed by a shared dream, which is defined and protected within a certain boundary, and about becoming one with the father of your dreams through a shared sacrifice to share intimate desires. Evolution in a scientific sense is about finding one's father but you will notice that it promotes error [favorable error, if that is possible] as the means to intelligence. And with death as natural –a favored error can only logically make reality a mystery, because mystery remains if one's life is not a dream that comes into a living reality. And my argument is that mystery is meant to be discovered but we need away to establish trust for that to happen whether in love or in science. Because love is not really an emotion or feeling but a perception based on an expression of interest, and science originally meant proven knowledge not theory. So it would be more appropriate to say that we need a way to establish trust; a standard, and a boundary or certain environment to labor within that our desires would find satisfaction, and our theories could be cleansed of error, so that we might delight in real discovery and be sheltered from illusion.
One must assume Zeus must have wanted Atlas in authority because
we see in the abstract Zeus liked his eagle to eat the hearts out of
his opposition. Zeus, the god of gods, who rules according
to law,
was stated by Plato (as cited by Jowett,
1920, The Dialogues of Plato; Volume Two, Random House:
NY, p84), but no law or standard from heaven is known
among the Greeks except that Zeus demanded worship and ruled
over Olympus. There are no criteria for worship other than power as a
trust, and in Greek mythology Zeus was not faithful to any of his
lovers, so does that promote truth or folly. Anyway, in the
conflict one can perceive there is a metaphysical boundary for a
desire to be fulfilled and the real question is will it bring one
either willingly or unwillingly into reality or take one away from
it. But the big question, can a man do God's work or take the
place of God; as the philosophy of evolution and religion both subtly
attempt? How does one define a trust that is truly from
heaven? Almost everyone wants to do a good work so where does one
draw the line? And where is the boundary to a glorious
intelligence that enables one to define value and understand a value
that is true?
Before one can even respect or value God they must see that he has a value and a boundary that is incorruptible, and that trust is possible within that boundary.
These are the commandments the Lord proclaimed in a load voice …from out of the fire …and he added nothing more (Deut.5:22).
Some things one will never be able to test scientifically and faith might be involved if an action or response is required. Other things do not require a response but can reveal one's perceptions like an abstract can. These things are called intuition or sometimes theory. For example some people think a Big Bang is how the universe began but this only reveals that they think love is expressed through violence. Love is only expressed through violence and is only true trust if a boundary is being protected from contrary interests. But when a boundary is under assault to gain another's labors it is an untrue trust. And if one believes the history in the Bible, in the beginning there was no conflicting dream or desire until a conspiracy happened. Point being that the beginning or the end really is irrelevant unless one's dreams come true anyway, and the end or beginning of time can never be called science because we can't observe it or demonstrate unless we are already there. Some supernovae explosions have been observed bringing the end to a star or galaxy and I think some would like to believe it is the beginning because they do not want to admit to an end. There even seems to be an empty spot in space because nothing is left, which is how the Black Hole interpretation came into astrophysics. No known explosion ever organized matter! And is really about the death of the universe not the birth of anything new. In science that can be demonstrated time after time; light always swallows or breaks up darkness, and explosions promote death –they disorganize matter and break apart what was held together. Big Bang believers are subconsciously trying to call death a new life, but I think it may be from the wrong heaven. So the Big Bang is not based on knowledge [observed and demonstrated science] but on religious view or a faith that is reflected in a theory that can't be proved; it is only philosophical in its interpretation of an event based on a feeling or desire.
You will also notice that the religious love war because they get their worth in death, and somehow subconsciously believe explosions are godly as long as they can covet the whole world for their own glory, and this glory is in death to top it off. This all has to do with an interpretation of love which is based on a lack of recognizing a boundary; a boundary keeps a treasured possession one is endowed with only to labor and spend that treasure/ life with those that share in a heavenly intimate dream within the same glory/standard to become forever true/faithful which promises to bear unending satisfying fruit –their hard labor is valued and sheltered to insure a GENIUNE RETURN OF INTEREST. But we tend to think God is like us if we didn't seek and find someone real unique, and true, or at least find an outside witness.
Isaiah 55: 8-13For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth.
It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
…This will be for the Lord's renown, for an everlasting sign, which will never be destroyed. (NIV, emphasis mine)
Genesis goes against the Big Bang Theory. It is God's Spirit that brings in life and there was no violence at all in its conception, just pure love. Of course one can only be a true believer if they experience God's Spirit, because it is a witness that he gives only to his children that honor his judgment and boundary. But it's very noticeable that Genesis and the Big Bang Theory have nothing in common if one were to wipe out preconceived ideas and take it for what is says. Neither does millions of years, so one of them is wrong! The sun, moon and stars were made after the earth and plants, and if the sun was made after the earth there is a conflict! Also if there are millions of years between the days the plants would have never made it, because they were made before the sun. This was all done in six days, and on the seventh day the dirt got up and bore fruit, it's where we got our work week also but for whose dream to come true? And it is written God's children shall be taught by God (John 6:45). How does one know who their gods or God is, because this is based on trust, an intimate relationship, and someone's word? Much of it cannot be tested scientifically, mostly because we are talking about someone unique that has hidden himself, and the recorded past and future events that are a witness to an oath.
I advise to run from religion because it causes people to be supernaturally in love with themselves, in which they never find fulfillment and will kill for self-flattery and respect no one's boundaries, always being filled with terror and getting burned because they do not value a covering or a boundary that sifts out true friendship, they only lust for power. Instead we want to find out who our god's or God is by defining terms, knowing one's own boundaries, checking options, finding a shared desire and dream that is worth a vulnerable sacrifice after real trust is established. Because if one truly wants something that is real and more valuable than money they will know who is behind the curtain within the sanctuary they have chosen at the right time. Sincerity from the bottom of one's heart is a must; trust is a sacred thing in heaven! I wish for those who visit this website to find out who their God or god's are but that is a terrible and awesome thing, it will cost one all they are but it's the only way for one to find the love of their life, true friendship, wisdom, and an inspired dream that can really come true.
As we have already disclosed a standard or law is a written witness to a valued boundary to keep mimicry out and to keep from being misunderstood because of contrary desires and misperceptions. But the law or boundary does not make a dream from heaven come true or reveal a mystery in nature; it just makes true discovery exciting and intimate friendship possible when one has their vulnerability covered. The law or standard itself must be seen as honorable and the boundary as glorious because it reveals if one is laboring for a certain kind of trust. And trust has to be based on truth so that vulnerable and real sacrifices are possible, otherwise the fire will burn someone, or someone's sacrifice will be unclean and meaningless if not abhorred.
If reality is based on a dream from heaven, and a dream based on
reality, then through a clean true vulnerable and willing
personal shared sacrifice heaven will really touch earth in the place
where the boundary is valued and discovery will make sense. Or as a
love song once revealed
I was seeing things for the first time.
The boundary and standard to the trust must be able to be tested scientifically to see if it applies to reality, or a real value. Something must be valued for a kingdom, marriage, or friendship to be united. The Ten Commandments are the boundary between life and death, and can be tested with demonstration to see if they are natural. A person has the right to decide which side of the boundary they wish to trust in, but they cannot labor for both sides and get any real treasures from this world or another one. But the boundary does reveal that there are two intelligences at work, otherwise it is all a mystery, and one never awakens to a dream becoming real nor will science make sense.
The claim from the God whom Moses confronted is that if one steals, lies, covets, commits adultery, they will not prosper and will remain in death, and if they seek out and honor the Real Living God their nature will be transformed into a new creature with a restored identity and evolve new desires. But there is another transformation which takes one into deep dark craftiness and illusion, with a loss of identity and evolving corrupted desires. Only a real God can truly change the nature of people through a valued shared Holy sacrifice, but one should never fake it or they mock their own life and everything that is true. What could be more natural than having God do his own work? But the intelligent forces that are at work are hidden, expressed in a metaphysical fashion, and require a representative before any glory is revealed so that a dream can be shared and the boundary revealed, before one becomes vulnerable to a trust that will ultimately require all one is. Almost everyone wants to do a good work so how does one know who God favors or what the gods desire? What went wrong, or who is to blame? Empires and marriages have been divided up and fallen for this very reason.
For some reason the people of the United States do not desire God to be their provider anymore, they do not see his Living Word as glorious and are looking to another credit lender, another prince. Who will make a pleasing sacred sacrifice and re-establish trust?
