The idea of people living their lives in accordance to a perceived Will of God is unhealthy and does no good for oneself or society. It is better for such people to understand the power that can exist within humanity apart from any divine inclination, than to construe the divinity that may be real and true by making shadows of a potential light. In short, the will of God, divine will, or Gods plan is the concept of God having a plan for humanity, and desiring to see this plan fulfilled. Let us assume that this is a real and self-evident assertion that the Will of God is being done presently and will continue to be done. Even in such a statement one can realize that such an observation is not of our own making, humans cannot direct this course- this will, it is, and will be, and will continue to be. This is to say that the Will of God is it’s own law, that governs the universe, that stands as is, there is nothing above it, and principles of life and ways of life simply attest to it. Nonetheless, if the chief end of this Will Of God, most uncertain and most unknown, can come in a divine sense can it too come by human means? Certainly not! One cannot serve what one does not know, in as much as one cannot fathom what is not of one to make sense of. So how can one make the pursuits of humanity, liken to the pursuits of God; to make worthwhile a cause so great that it extends beyond the physical world and assents into the heavens? Simple, one can serve what one is unaware of that one is serving. How is it that the wisest man to ever live claimed to know that he knew nothing, and even the PHD candidate claims too, too know so little though in comparison he knows so much within his given field. I tell you the certainty we have in this life is like a speck, to what can be known. The uncertain man who goes about his life in faith is like the certain man who goes about his life in reason. No man can know the thoughts of God nor can any man justify the acts of God by acting as though one is like God. Is this not what we do, when we seek to imitate God, and confess to be servants of Him by wanting to be like Him? Therefore ones acts can never be for God, unless one serves an image of God that one has created within one’s minds of him. How false are idols of him? How many the thoughts that delude one from the reality of the nature of God? Isn’t it odd how some men think to serve their pride and declare it to be their God. For a man can only know the commandments. Yet in all the commandments a man may observe, it is not man who saves himself. If he were saved by sin, how can he to be saved by observing the commandments expected of him. Is it not by sin, that God saves man? How can a man love God, by observing the commandments that free oneself of sin and the occasion of sin, if it were sin that allowed him to be saved in the first place? What confusion? Which begs the question, what need is there of the commandments. If sin is all we are; all that is necessary of us to be saved? This, sin, we are taught we are born in, is what too should save us? Why rid it? Why not remain in sin? As of now what good were the commandments, but to serve our own ends? By abiding by the commandments we have taught ourselves- to rid a guilty conscience, to pardon a previous offense, to allow ourselves forgiveness- if not our own peace. You see even now we want to save ourselves still, we follow the commandments to save ourselves. Yet we are sinners, that will not change, we are the accused and we stand guilty. So what use then are the commandments? What is this law we have been entrusted with? It must be that our freedom will only come when we accept that the commandments are not for each of us( as parts), but for the sum of us(as a whole). And the commandments did not come so that we may save ourselves, but to save each other. We are given the law not that it may act in accordance to us as persons and individuals but as it serves us as a society, as a whole. For in these commandments, in these acts of love, we save another more so than we save ourselves. By pardoning the accused person, as we too were pardoned, by Christ- by God. You keep the commandments alive. By observing the commandments in this sense we continue to pardon one another through the law as we too were pardoned of the law by the first death. For the devil and Christ have come down for us, to exert power over us, and the rule of money and thought and government and law and religion too have attempted to exert power over us, but no longer should it. Let us do away with it all. We are not lawless, we need not fear death. We will save ourselves from ourselves. We dont need to be God’s; we dont want to be Gods. We should simply hold a cause so dear to us that wed rather preserve such a cause than the individual parts that we are composed of when divided. In part we are nothing, in sum we are everything. We can complete the Tower of Babel, we have found our tongues, In the beginning was the word, and our words are not vain, we have found our meaning. We speak on one accord; our language is our singular cause that should reach the heights of heaven. “The people are one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. The language is (our purpose/our meaning), we each will understand it all, we will speak as one, of one accord. If what saves us was love, than let us act with love towards one another. Our philosophies and our priest have served their cause well, but what need is it, if there is no love. We can preserve humanity, by ridding the philosophies. We need no civil war, we only need to war with our thoughts. The commandments have been given, we can preserve our own world, to such an extent that even the God’s declare our sight most heavenly and good.
