In numerology, 9 is selflessness and compassion. It desires to apply its energy to universal service. This is the artist, the thinker who has developed skills through the preceding cycles and is now ready to share his or her knowledge with the rest of the world.
And now comes the end result of my eight developing cycles. Crater Lake is one of the most beautiful places I’ve visited. This magnificent scene is what has been left of a volcanic eruption 6,000 years ago. It was 40 times as great as the Mt. St. Helens eruption.
Out of a release of energy came the universe. From releases of energy came the elements on which we depend. Releases of energy—cyclic, orderly, changing all—all part of the universe; so am I.
Larry Dossey, M.D., in his Healing Words:
“In the fourteenth century, an anonymous English monk, believed to be the author of The Cloud of Unknowing, an exalted religious tract that deeply influenced the religious life of the time, added his lament to the futility of addressing and even thinking about the Universal. “But now you will ask me,” said he, “How am I to think of God himself, and what is he? And I cannot answer you accept to say I don't know! For with this question you have brought me into the cloud of unknowing. Of God himself can no man think.”
The message of fourteenth century English monks was, “Don’t think; let us think for you.” It was exactly this thinking that had people looking for a way out of religious tyranny. America was a way out. America’s Founding fathers declared their independence from England’s religious and secular tyranny, namely King George’s tax.
I was created with reason and logic, for which to think. I thank those Americans who came before me who realized that God-given right, and made it the law of the land that I be permitted to think and build a life for myself. We call it free enterprise. It’s what made America great.
Like early Americans, in 1975 I drove away from my old life to an unknown future, but with a mission. I’d studied the Constitution and imagined that voices of the past were personally speaking to me. This was because I planned to take action to protect my constitutional right to be self-governed, to think for myself. Judicial activists maintain that law must be in accordance with the present time, the present time determined by the vote. The law can be anything. The present law in America says government entitlements supersede individual rights to the fruits of one’s labor. My God-given right as been reversed back to government rights. Government has assumed the right to think for me, the very reason Europeans migrated to America.
In the previous eight cycles of my development, I’ve learned it was predestined that I would take up the cause of self-government and free enterprise. My cause brings up Ayn Rand, author of the epic Atlas Shrugged. Rand holds the philosophy that reality is an objective absolute. Says my guru, quantum physicist Evan Harris Walker, in The Physics of Consciousness, in Chapter 18, under A God for Tomorrow, “Now we see that the independent existence of matter and the absoluteness of space were false dogma. But it has only been with advent of quantum theory that we have discovered proof that we exist as something more than pieces of matter. In the development of quantum theory, the observer emerges as a co-equal in the foundry of creation. . .The tests of Bell’s theorem have shown us that objective reality as it has been conceived is not the true fabric of reality. The observer interacts with matter. Consciousness, the substance of this newfound reality that defines the observer, has fundamental existence. It is the quantum mind that is the basic reality.”
Rand’s conception that capitalism brings prosperity and happiness is not so. It is not so that big government brings prosperity and happiness, these two ideas bringing about great division. Knowledge and values brings prosperity and happiness. Objective, without mind, every situation in recorded history that brought about war can be attributed to the English monk’s words: “of God no man can think,” the 9-11 event is an emblem of this nonsense. If no man can think of God, and God ordered the 9-11 event, why did God create man with reason and logic? Everything radical Islam does defies reason and logic. Placing government entitlement ahead of the God-given right to the fruits of one’s labor defies reason and logic.
The land of your possession, God’s promise, the land Joshua and the Israelites took by force from the Canaanites defies reason and logic. If no man can think God’s will, why did God create man with reason and logic?
When we can step back and observe the big picture, what appeared to be chaotic and out of control is harmonious and symmetric. “My theory, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but not signed,” the thought of Christopher Morely. The Englishman, John of Salisbury, the first systematic writer on politics in the Middle Ages, wrote “there are certain precepts of the law which have perpetual necessity, having the force of law among all nations and which absolutely cannot be broken.” Asserted Justice Jackson, “The very purpose of the Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy.” “Born for justice,” said the father of modern law, the Roman judge Cicero, “and right is not the mere arbitrary construction of opinion but an institution of nature.” Sorry, Rand’s dog won’t hunt, and neither will Marx’s dog. We were not created with hive mentality.
From the calamity my life had become to what was the beginning of a beautiful life, I heard voices of the past and believed they would lead me to my destiny, my karmic mission in this life. Thirty-six years later, I’m living in my dream home in the tall timber near Mt. Hood, Oregon, with my one true love, my wife Karen, doing the things that bring me the most pleasure.
I came to a jumping off place in my life. A release of energy took place when I decided to take affirmative action against those who insist on doing my thinking for me. Here I am, “the artist, the thinker who has developed skills through the preceding cycles and is now ready to share his or her knowledge with the rest of the world.”
From an accurate outline of the law, professor of law Edward S. Corwin left us The “Higher Law” Background of American Constitutional Law, a 2,000 year history of the law. From Corwin’s essay I received my bigger than life calling. God helps those who help themselves.
