The Sins of Man and Nature's Penalties
» Tuesday, January 19th, 2010 at 11:39pm |
The dogmatist says:
"If you sin, you are an evil, wicked, and unworthy wretch destined to burn in hell for all eternity! But lo! Do whatever I tell you to and refuse to pursue what I don't have the courage to attempt for myself — for if you should achieve what I haven't, I would greatly envy you — therefore, I will fabricate a terrible punishment and implant it in your imagination, then offer you an equally phony way to escape it... all as a means of stopping you from enjoying what I don't."
But the Master says:
"If you sin — or allow a Destructive Impulse into your mind — it's outward expression will not only tear down your fellow man through association by default, but more importantly, it will evoke an equal or even greater penalty, through Nature's Laws, upon yourself... and stop you from living the Greater Life, of your own Volition."
Yet if any Destructive Impulse we admit into our minds and, as a result, give it opportunity to produce itself through an outward physical expression, whether unconsciously or deliberately, just why is it we often welcome and encourage it, despite the torment it brings upon us?
It will be found that almost every Destructive Impulse appears to carry with it an initial short-term benefit — which, when matured and has grown to fruitation, carries a much greater long-term penalty.
For example, we know that the desire to get revenge on someone who we feel has wronged us often appeals to us. Furthermore, we justify it with the archaic aphorism, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
But to anyone who's witnessed another spend endless time plotting and committing vengeance has probably observed the great misery it brings, perhaps initially to his victim (only to do him a service by forcing himself to grow stronger), but much more notably on him who admits the Destructive Impulse of Revenge into his mind — for he slowly destroys the conditions of his own mind which set the foundation for his own Happiness in the process.
The same can be said of Lust:
There is the initial satisfaction of sexual pleasure in the short-term, but he who over-indulges in the sex act also brings the Level, as he suffers a great dissipation not only of his vital energies but the Great Creative Force within himself, a necessity in the pursuit the Greater Life.
The dogmatist, who simply passes down the dated tenets of the Dark Ages, tells us we should not sin because it's "bad". Instead, we should mimic the outward expressions that come naturally to him of high Moral Character. The reason given for this act of Dishonesty is to avoid a conjured punishment that has no basis upon the facts of Life.
But the Master, who has observed the effects of the continued admission of the Destructive Impulses (or Sins) into the mind, knows better:
He proclaims that every Destructive Impulse penalizes the one who admits it, and in so doing, also destructively influences those who merely come into contact with him; therefore, it is to the individual's best benefit to workout his crimes under Nature.
Not because he "must" or because he "should" nor because he is condemned if he does not, but because it is the only way by which he may truly profit in Life.
For it is true:
Where others can avoid the one who harbors a Destructive Impulse of which the outward expression they find repulsive, he who admits it out of habit must bear the yolk and burden — if and until he can deliberately workout his crimes against himself, and thus, lift Nature's Penalty in correspondence from his own Soul.
Only thus may he erect the Gateway to the Greater Life.

great article Jay, but there are few points i dont get
''There is the initial satisfaction of sexual pleasure in te short-term, but he who over-indulges in the sex act also brings the Level, as he suffers a great dissipation not only of his vital energies but the Great Creative Force within himself, a necessity in the pursuit the Greater Life.''
can you elaborate jay, i don't get this paragraph, what energies are you talking about, and what is this great creative force? can you define it.
1 more ethical dilemma i've been investigating for a while; in your view, how could someone evil like stalin get a peaceful death after the horrors he's done?
thanks Jay
keep em comin'

By the Creative Force I am referring to a man's Sex Energy or it's transmuted state: Creative Imagination.
Stated differently, that force, when properly harnessed, which is responsible for all the great accomplishments and break-throws in science, art, architecture, invention, etc.
I don't know much about Stalin nor how he died, but it might be worth considering that Death is, to the best of my knowledge, but a continuance of Life in the form of a possible eternity, where every impulse of the Soul this side of Life carries over and dictates our "status" thereafter.
From what I gather, every crime against Nature (or the Destructive Impulses which remain present in the Soul at the time of death) carry over onto the Other Side, whereby Nature demands the exact debt be paid in full -- and an equivalent penalty is impressed until the wages of the Sin is balanced and rectified.
Thus, if Stalin had a peaceful death and if he did not work out his malfactions within himself before he passed over, I would wager that he was met by a very unpleasant condition, likely much, much worse than that which we fear most in this life -- like poverty and criticism.
And what's a peaceful death compared to a great period of suffering thereafter?
On the other hand, we can take a man like Moses, who we know became a murderer and outcast -- the very kind of man the masses and media of today would prey upon and label a villian and criminal of the worst sort.
Yet he later took responsbility for his thoughts, mastered his Destructive Nature, and evolved into what I can only assume to be a Master -- for if I recall correctly, it is written that he found favor and later came under the great approval of the Father, who commissioned him with the responsibility of freeing the slaves from bondage.
Is there a difference between a Stalin and a Moses?
Both were murderers -- that which we view as the worst crime this side of Life -- yet I would suspect Moses found himself on the same evolved plane as Jesus, whereas Stalin found himself in the same debased state as Hitler, bound and chained by the penalties of the Destructive Impulses present in their Souls at the time they died.
Perhaps this is why we view Moses as a hero of his people, and forgive and forget the past trangressions before his transfiguration, while we consider Hitler one of the greatest enemies of Humanity.
But I do not know. This is simply what I can reason out based on knowledge from sources who claimed to know, and I believe them upon the grounds of their demonstration an exhabition of a high Moral Character.

Hello Jay,I have a question to ask you,it's about this text.
I don't know if you've ever had this, but have you ever met people who've "failed" in life per say.
And they keep sayng,"I used to be just like you,I had ambition and wanted something more in life,but then again you never know what the future brings,so I became a teacher."
I don't know if you see it but this phrase starts an irrational doubt in the mind of the weak(me).It makes me think as if I'm powerless and this will happen to me too.I've noticed people who say this "alibi" are a little frustrated and use very dominant approach on others,very convincing.
I realised fearing the outcome of this man's life will only send negative impulses in my mind and remove me from my goal.
My question is:Do you happen to know a way to overcome this thing I go through?I've read "Think and Grow Rich" but the solutions in there don't really do the trick for me entirely.

I thought the solutions Hill suggested were sound.
Perhaps it might help to read it again.
