On the Level Plain Called Time I Stand In Full View of Eternity

By Hugh K. Lipsius

  

On the level plain called time I stand. The place where eternity exists and all things happen at once, or for once, all things happen at the same time.

 

 I seem to toe this line.

One side of this plain is called forever, where past and future meet, where blue skies everyday dull the senses, but where cloudy days show the diversity that we all exist in. Its a place where heaven and hell meet or a place to meet heaven and hell, I'm never quite certain. It's the diversity between man and God, or the man and God who are so diverse.

 

The other side is called yesterday, today, and tomorrow, where ashes turn to gems, where new life continuously springs forth from the dead leaves of life's past. Its a place where dust becomes real, creating man, and something is made from nothing...a void we call our minds...nothing and emptiness in which is created our everyday reality. With the seeds of our past that are planted today, tomorrow's possibilities are born.

 

But I know this is the place that ' I ' stand...right or wrong, good or bad, past, present, or future; yesterday, today, or tomorrow... we all stand in it in part or in whole forever.

 

Since the beginning of the written history, when memory was created for man and mankind, including women and womankind, as well as all children (off-spring) too, there has been a struggle. Its a struggle that seems to wax and wane according to the goodness or evilness that is continuously implanted into us according to the times we live in  by God or by man. But its a struggle we all face never-the-less, and is for us to reconcile, to come to terms with somewhere in our lives.

 

Sometimes the few, most of the time those few... the ones we think have it all...seem to be winning according to what is implanted into our lives. A shame, or a necessity, I'm never quite sure but they have always appeared to have the upper hand all down through history according to the way history has been told...at least for a lifetime, a time that we as individuals are led to believe it because we are led so that we might believe. It becomes the reality of the void of our mind by the thoughts that are created. The reality out of the void...the man, woman, or child created out of the dust...our  heaven and earth created out of the darkness of void.

 

Of course, I'm sure it's because some have a price they can be bribed for, purchased for, sold for, or in some way their loyalty coerced because they have grown weary of the suffering imposed upon by opposition for having chosen another way... the way of the few in opposition to the many.

 

Our natural instinct for self-preservation alone may not always be enough. The temptation of self-glorification is a far greater advantage because it sets a soul far above the souls of the many, but history says its only for the few...the dross that must rise to the top through the coercion that enslaves the reality of the many despite their own desire for glory.

 This is where many would like to be, with the political capital to ride out any storm for their lifetime, and yet they may still find themselves pushed away into the masses because they were deceived by an even greater few who have learned the science of self-glorification to such a degree that they are able to use it to deceive this multitude.

 

Of course!!!

The world, our hearts are filled with deceit! We would like to think ourselves greater than, rather than equal to the lowliest of men...closer to God rather than closer to common man.

 

Unfortunately, this theory has its flaws. History will tell you exactly what these flaws are. When a ruling class becomes so fearful of loosing their status, they make every attempt to draw as many men, women and children to their death as possible. To push them down and trample their lives back into the dust, the void, the nothingness they were created from. 

But fearful is the word.

Its only natural according to the ways of man. The suicidal law that says, "if I go down, I want company, because I am  afraid to go down alone, so this will go down before me." 

 

Every empire ended in this way before a new empire, to end in the same way, came into power. But what was it that brought these empires to their end?

 

It was never about money or riches, because vast fortunes were gathered, hoarded, squirreled away by the few well before the battle began. It was never about land, because vast amounts of it were always conquered and owned and held by the few. It was never about the insulation of laws or the loyalties of governance...these could be bought or sold and manipulated, and these, unfortunately, established the next layer of deceit.

It was never about the people who fought and suffered and died, because 9 times out of 10, they gained nothing.

 

So what was it that brought these empires to their end? What was the purpose for their existence? What was the purpose for their inevitable end...their defeat?

 

Was it for the glory that a few sought for themselves?

 

Yes. But they learned the deceit that  was always known by the many.

 

These many gave, they suffered, and they died for the few who cared nothing for them.

 

So what was it for?

 

It was for truth!!! To teach it to the fallen few of humanity!!! These are  the true checks and balances as humanity and its evilness or goodness waxes and wanes!!!

In the realities of the minds of men,Truth does not become truth until all efforts are exhausted to prove it otherwise!!!!

The multitudes know this truth... that they are man and are no gods. That they share all things in common, no matter who they are.

 

So why are the few so slow to realize it?

  

When the masses finally realized the truth, they put away their pride. When they finally realized that the fight, the struggle, the suffering they were at once enduring was not about or for them, but was only to keep in power a class of people who cared nothing for them except that they, the masses, might fight, kill, and die at the expense of everything so these few could maintain what they so desired...control, power, possession, in order to maintain deceit...then their fight stopped. Unfortunately, this has always required a tremendous amount of death and destruction...because the ruling class is so ignorant...so much that the masses grow weary of their ignorance, and weary of fighting their continuous battles because these few will not learn that they belong down here on the level plain with the rest of humanity.

 

This is the battle that has raged all down through the ages. And yet, I perceive its end here in America.

 

Why?

 

Because we are the wretched refuse yearning to be free. We know the truth and are no longer deceived by the lie. We have seen our own world's history and it is ours.

 

We may not come out against this suffering all at once. We may not even come out against it until we have no other choice...but we will come out and kick them in their feeble knees until they collapse under the weight of the burdens of their governance.

History also says that we will.

 

It is God's providence that those to be governed will withstand great burdens by those who govern them, but that those who are governed have a point and degree where they will no longer be deceived into thinking that men are gods over them. Nor will they be governed in that way, especially when those governors supercede the ethics, values, principles, and lastly, the morals of the peoples whom they govern.

If this be so, then the masses will simply walk away only to find it again, or kill the ones who deceived them.

 

As the founding fathers of the United States of America attempted to put in place laws, articles, acts and self-evident truths to protect the wretched refuse of the world, God saw the folly of their attempt because it puts this power into man's own hands, apart from God, and according to our own thoughts and devices. We have become what once was a nation indivisible, to one that has become as divided as any nation that has ever existed upon this earth. A nation whose class divides are on a level never before seen.

 

Whose Laws then have become truths, fulfilling the test of time? Have the self-evident truths held together, or were they merely words to deceive us?

Certainly not man's...apart from God's, no matter how well these attempted to imitate Him according to the image they created Him to be.

 

When everything has been done to prove something wrong, but cannot, it must finally be accepted as truth. If the U.S. of America...and their form of Democracy and governance are the last, best hope for humanity...cannot be proven as truth according to its violent and destructive ways...this makes it a lie..proven over and over again...or rather, a perpetual lie. It's a lie that has been played out by every empire ever built, and every empire that has come to its inevitable end.

We are now on the verge of discovering the truth!!! We may at first see this to be ugly...but then...a most beautiful thing to behold!!!

 

Perhaps, when the God who is Love, who is truth, who is not some physical form of ritual, some secluded discourse, some secret mystery, some impossible being to get to know, in His most simple, most pure form, becomes in our heart... pure and simple truth, love, ethics, empathy, compassion, patience, goodness, grace, mercy, peacefulness to all, leaving none without, then perhaps all humanity will have learned its lesson.

Perhaps it has already discovered this lesson apart from man's governance which shuns these  things, giving only to a few the  privilege of fulfilling its destiny in the physical form throughout the universe while robbing humanity of the desire of their heart...which is to care for one another.

 

No loving Father would give His kingdom over to these few in the universe.

 

Checks and balances have existed all down through history. This is our lesson book. Look into it! Take your lessons!!! Learn from the ways of redemption and the science that angels desire to look into. Learn from the empires who have fallen before us.

No power has been given to mankind for vengeance upon others, for conquest or supremacy. That is the deceit of the lie...but all power has been given to mankind to forgive all, as well as all the powers that belong to this...this is the only Godly power that is given to humanity from God. All other powers are supplanted, usurped by the few, who create them, and then claim ownership for them.

 

Paternal governments, formalized governments, masses who followed, power that was gained, power that was abused, masses who were deceived, masses who by conscience protested, masses who by loyalty followed, masses who died, governments who were destroyed...this is the way we continue...but should not. It is the checks and balances that keep us at liberty...at least until we are able to fully appreciate what that liberty is. 

 

Yet, each time, humanity gains a little more by conscience... though it might be at a greater and greater cost to more and more of these same masses...unless we can learn the lesson sooner. Gradually it is becoming the reality we desire.

We have the power...it is given...take hold of it and change the world!!!!

 

There is nothing new under the sun. What is was, and will be again. This is the way God uses His checks and balances until we latch onto His ways.

 

According to science, it takes the average man 30 times to repeat something before he finally gets it.

#0 times to try and disprove a truth before he finally must accept it. Look through history in order to see the end of what now is. Latch onto it today in mass, preparing to suffer and perhaps die for it if necessary, or prepare to live as we were created to live.

 

 If we do, if we wax perfect, our children, and their children after them might gain from what we give up...which is the imperfect governance of man apart from the spirit of God...which is truth, which is the kindness of His love, found in the grace of eternal forgiveness, and given as the power of God for mankind to possess.

 

This is our hope for the humanity that we all belong to.
