“What Would I Recommend”
(As to what is most important with all of the
trouble in the world today)
cji
4/3/13
As long as I can remember many have
asked, “What would you recommend?” And
in almost all cases when I was between the ages of 5 to 15 no one really cared
what I would recommend. It was also learned that when an adult laughed at my
suggestions I was on to something which needed further research. This is
neither bragging but only factual (and I’ve writings since the age of 10 years
old to document my thinking).
Today we live in a very complex and
difficult world if we decide to make it to be as such. Really our existence in
mortality can be simplified and easy to go from point ‘a’ to infinity if we
allow ourselves to do so. Most don’t and most want authority and control
without either earning such status or meriting it on their own. Money buys and
controls the actions of most all of those living in other than 3rd
world nations. But our subject today will be the United States of America as we
find it today.
First am I one qualified to address
and make recommendations? Certainly if one wants advanced college degrees – or
a pedigree of powerful benefactors or positions held – and the idea of being
politically correct the answer is ‘no’.
However, if you want someone who continues to do research daily,
considers the history of the world for the last several thousand years (and
what is known back to about fourteen thousand years – I might be a person to
address this question – and therefore give a recommendation.
Over the years I’ve always believed
that the wheel has already been made usable within our knowledge as have
multitude of other good and poor inventions – so why try to redo them? Plato
taught, “The Greeks have invented nothing – but we’ve improved everything
already invented.” Thus in each of our lives it would be foolish to reinvent
the wheel – when one can read what others have presented on the subject of
concern. This however is not as easily done today as fifty or one hundred years
ago – as much in the presentation of non-fiction is in reality fiction with
only circular documentation.
Most today do not check on sources
referenced by an author even one presenting highly questionable materials. Most
enjoy the patter of oft repeated ideas as facts rather than seeking to know the
difference between an idea and fact. Let
me explain if you believe evolution as taught by Darwin’s disciples – then you
will only do your research to support the Theory of Evolution as a proven fact
rather than understanding it has never been proven – and Darwin himself in his
writings said he had never been able to prove it – always only going back as
far as ‘two’ of everything. This is also
true in the studies of DNA – and when new research shows the fallacy of the various
conclusions already presented as fact – they deny the new research as being
flawed. Denial is always the way to overcome new findings and making them
irrelevant as one can no longer burn someone at the stake for apostasy or
heretical practices to the politically correctness of the day. (Note: We are
getting closer in the US to again practicing imprisonment and harassment of
those who disagree with those seeking to destroy the Constitution as we
currently know it today.)
Therefore, if I make recommendations
(which I will do) – it would be my understanding most will reject part or whole
of what I would communicate. First, rejection will because what I recommend is
too easy and contains too much common sense.
Secondly, because my recommendation requires one to do their homework
and research – not take anyone else’s word for what is true or false? Lastly,
my recommendations won’t be used because too many have no intention of ever
changing because change requires risk.
At the forefront of what should be
addressed is the destruction of marriage and the family unit which has been
on-going for quite some time – indeed the very words in most weddings are,
“Till death do us part” giving marriage a final ending point – whereas in the
Scriptures it clearly indicates that husbands and wives are to heirs together
forever. Sadly after the 1st Century AD (I’m old school) the
reformers couldn’t understand what this meant – but most scholars (especially
Jewish) could clarify.
However, with divorce so easy to
obtain and the sexual revolution (which has been on-going for several thousands
of years) – seems to have destroyed even the purpose of marriage – welfare –
entitlements – sexual educations and free handouts in schools promote it as
well. Besides the tax benefits – for the worldly purposes they really don’t
need marriage with the exception of the tax breaks. While us old
traditionalists understand what love is and the difference between what lust
and selfishness is known to be.
Within our nation several things have
sought the destruction of the family as we perceive it is mostly due to the
Child Labor Laws and the Public School system which forced many families to go
from poverty levels to abject poverty levels in the early 1900’s and literally
forced the mother in the home into going to work or taking work within the
home. In Russia Lenin, Trotsky and
Stalin did a fairly successful job of it in having neighbors report on
neighbors – but then Stalin came up with his own final solution – allowing
street gangs to run wild – and then sending the army into to eliminate the
street gangs – lest anyone forget the millions upon millions he had killed.
Hitler did it with selective breeding.
Another point in fact was the
immigration system especially among the ‘bosses’ where many of the young women
were put in cribs to service dock workers and others – the American dreams was
pure illusion. Thus long after slavery was removed – slavery still continued
(even today in some places – one need only to understand the prostitution rings
in all of our major urban areas) but in a form where government officials who
partook and owed patronage to those who ran the cribs and controlled important
voter blocks.
More to date we’ve psychologists who
are proclaiming a family that teaches values and religion within a home are
causing mental illness upon its children and therefore are pushing for
legislation to call this child abuse. Indeed don’t ever invite a social worker
into your home if you’ve children or grandchildren as they’ll destroy whatever
they see (especially within the more liberal states) but generally within the
federal bureaucracy – as they’ve a zeal only matched by the former SS troops of
WWII.
The music, video games, TV, movies,
DVD’s and other entertainment (including the Public School system and Colleges
and Universities) teach nothing about morals or values except in very isolated
instances – and ACLU makes havoc with those few. One can use abusive language –
lie, cheat (over 70% of all students admit they cheat), deface and otherwise be
profane – but one cannot say a prayer – dress modestly – or go against the
demeaning peer groups.
You’ve movies which get more headlines
than what is happening in DC and the lies and beguilement found therein.
Athletes who have live-in boyfriends or girlfriends are praised in the media
(as long as they’re not married and have extra mates running about). Of course
left to their own devices many make a joke out of all of the things which build
a good, lasting marriage.
Soon we’ll no longer have a separation
of the sacred and the profane – with the sole exception that the profane will
be popular and accepted – and the traditional sacred will once more be
persecuted as in the past several millennia. It’ll be a Holocaust of the many
against the few - with MSM supporting the many – and mocking the few (as they
do already today).
When an agency of the government has
become nothing more than a eunuch one must consider how many other agencies are
also made so? When so much of our Constitution is ignored – bypassed and
treated as mostly outdated and irrelevant one must ask what else is considered
the same. The Supreme Court has been chastised before the whole world – while
the ignoring of Congress is also known worldwide by this administration – what
else has meaning? The fact that the MSM reports only what is positive to the
current administration and gets publically warned when they don’t toe the line
– what else will occur? When a nation can find out all of the secrets of a person’s
life when the government wants to discredit them – i.e. the Chicago way of the
little black book – forcing their resignation and also demeaning their past and
present recommendations – which is next?
Part of a conspiracy is founded in not
always in what one does – but in what one does not do – or not allowed to
do! We’ve a past Secretary of State who it appears lied under oath being
ignored by MSM – we’ve a current Secretary of State who committed treason (with
documented videos and in his own words) but the MSM doesn’t say a word. We’ve
Presidents who get away with whatever they want ignored by MSM while a sports
figure is made to stand the 19th degree and as well private citizens
who are found guilty before trial based on lies.
The US is screwed up – and currently
it appears that not one government agency is doing anything about – no one is
willing to say – the emperor is naked.
“The left's social deconstruction
program is a war of ideas and concepts. Claims of equality are used to expand
institutions and ways of living until they are so broad as to encompass
everything and nothing. And once a thing encompasses everything, once a rose
represents everything rising out of the ground, then it also represents nothing
at all.
Deconstruction is a war against definitions, borders and parameters. It is a
war against defining things by criminalizing the limitation of definitions.
With inclusivity as the mandate, exclusivity, in marriage, or any other realm,
quickly meets with social disapproval and then becomes a hate crime. If the
social good is achieved only through maximum inclusivity and infinite
tolerance, then any form of exclusivity, from property to person to ideas, is a
selfish act that refuses the collective impulse to make all things into a
common property with no lasting meaning or value.”
A Friend of mine passed this on to me: “Just finished reading a short historical review of the evolution of
the Chickasaw Native American tribe from their original homeland in Mississippi
to the south central section of Indian Territory, now Oklahoma, and the center
of both Emil's and my own roots. During the 1850 to 1906 period of transition
(many would more accurately characterize that period as "forced by lies,
deception and arms") the Chickasaw Nation had built a far better school
system than any of the other "Five Civilized Tribes" elsewhere in
Indian Territory that had been forced upon the other tribes. This was totally
unacceptable to the powers in Washington D.C. who eventually forced their
communal systems upon the Chickasaw's and lead to the demise of the values held
dear by the tribe as well as a system that was producing well educated
individuals. Only during the past 40 years, under the espousal of
"diversity and tolerance" have they made resurgence. Past history
suggests they will once again come under the scrutiny of Washington's
"wisdom". “
Edmond Pope (2013)
When one classifies a religion as a
way of life – the left presupposes that Socialism is their religion – and
therefore we have to honor their claims (choke, gag, throwing up) – and they’ll
then deny ours.
Over time when a parent or parents
abdicate their responsibilities to the school or other peer influences – then
the sin be upon the head of the parents! Sadly, starting in Kindergarten – 1978
– I wrote a letter to the Principle of my son’s school indicating to her that
we had not abdicated the responsibility of our son to her! She complained and
ranted and raved – I picked up the phone dialed the Superintendent of Schools –
and reminded her I was the parent and she was not. In the schooling of both of our son’s we were
vigilant and worked our schedules so that one parent was in the home when they
were home. We watched no TV – and still do not own one – other than to watch
movies which we own.
Noah building the Ark – maybe but they
are our responsibility and no one else’s.
How many parents have taken this time? Most have not regardless of their
various religious beliefs – they say and do one thing and then contradict
themselves within minutes or hours – thus allowing the children the same
options. A friend once quoted, “Is what
we’re doing re-teachable; if not why not, for it is what others will learn to
do.”
The left has forgotten or more than
likely led such permissive and hedonistic life-styles with their peer groups
provided their morals (or lack of them). In the 1970’s the Ford Foundation
found that the attitudes (or motivations) came not from within the home but
outside the home. That parents had abdicated their responsibilities to the
state – tv’s – music and peers (who had the same upbringing). Thus we had the unknowing teaching the
unknowing about what they only learned in music, movies and television.
There are some very strong groups of
parents who’ve not abdicated their responsibilities – however, more and more
the state is cracking down on them. Home-schooling has become a major target –
especially by the social services within a community (even here in the Deep
South).
It is interesting that the hardest
thing for a person to do is change – which is only done to gain a benefit or
avoid a loss – but our population are rather like the frog put into luke warm
water – and will stay while the heat is turned up – until they are consumed
with change they never would’ve opted for – but in the smooth beguiling of our
politicians they succumbed.
Okay this is the background and what
is happening – several persons of immense wealth are trying to take over our
nation within our political system – they seem to enjoy an oligarchy and have
since the direct election of Senators (mid-1930’s) and what they want has
nothing to do with the Constitution or the freedoms we now enjoy within the US.
We’ve seen in the past several major depressions – all caused by the wealthy in
which they not got wealthier but also reposed millions of acres of farmlands
and personal property through their banks and mortgage companies. The only
thing they don’t want to happen is for the nation to go absolute belly-up –
with the exception of China and Islamic Extremists.
So here are my recommendations –
predicated on one simple truth from the Holy Scriptures: “We worship Heavenly
Father – and we obey and serve His only begotten Son – Jesus Christ – as two
separate and distinct individuals with bodies of the flesh and bone!” If you do not accept this premise then
whatever else I’ve to say really doesn’t matter. The second premise is that,
“All persons ever to have had a mortal body of flesh, bone and blood – are
saved by the Atonement of Jesus the Christ our savior and redeemer.” And the
third premise as taught in the Scriptures is, “That one can earn eternal life
and thus salvation by obedience to all of the Commandments/Statutes and Laws
set forth by Father and the Son and as given to the world through their
Prophets and Apostles in the past and today.”
Almost all Christian denominations
repeat the Lord’s Prayer – not understanding that what they’ve been praying
for, i.e. the Restoration of the Fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ has
already occurred.
To my recommendations or what I would
recommend:
1.
That everyone understands that we are
in a mortal probation and as such we’ve to prepare ourselves for something
beyond this mortal existence.
2.
That everyone should individually take
the time to read the Holy Bible (preferably one prior to all of the various
revisions and translations and changes since 1880 – of which there are some
56,000 or more in print with more coming of the presses continuously).
3.
Understand how we have what we have
today called the Holy Bible – and understand that some 3400 books were omitted
or changed when the Bible was put together in the late 1400’s and early 1500’s
till the arrival of the KJV Bible.
4.
Read the Old Testament – especially
these books and remember each book of the Bible stand on its own – and the
Bible is not just one book but 66 individual books.
Old Testament
a.
These books listed above contain much
information which is written for our day to understand and learn from for our
growth and eternal salvation.
b.
One cannot be saved in ignorance – and
allowing someone else to think or talk for you is about the same thing.
5.
Read the New Testament – all of it –
there is much to be gleaned – and most especially in the books after the four
synoptic gospels.
6.
Pray about what you’ve read – does it
make sense – if it does then there should be multiple references that there
should be more (and there is).
7.
A couple of key Scriptures have always
gotten my attention –
a.
1 Peter 3:7 – husbands and wives to be
heirs together forever!
b.
The first marriage was performed by
the Father – for Adam and Eve – in the Garden – and was for time and all
eternity (as there was no death (spiritually) at that time – or mortally.
c.
James 1:5 – if any lack wisdom – and
verse 6 – asking in faith nothing wavering.
8.
All of the above recommendations
should give you a path to follow – in answering these questions:
a.
Where did I come from –
b.
Why am I here
c.
and where am I going when I leave
here?
9.
When you’ve done the above – ask if
you’re on the right path to eternal life and salvation to live once more in the
presence of the Father and the Son with your family in tact – forever?
10.
In John – they talk about sealing on
earth what is to be sealed in heaven – and if not sealed on earth there will be
no sealing in heaven – understand this is talking about the covenant of Eternal
Marriage – for time and all eternity – which can only be performed in the House
of the Lord (Holy Temples) and by the proper Priesthood authority given by the
Son – to those of His Church on this earth – no state – federal or local
government – no university – divinity school or man can either take or give
this authority without the Saviors Church being here on this earth led by
Prophet’s and Apostles.
If you want to understand more –
understand the trial and tribulations of this earth are going to get far worse
– as men/women are set on their destruction and warfare – greed and lusts – and
having absolute power – in the service of Master Mahan – while we know this –
but this isn’t of our concern – as ours is for our family – those who preceded
us and those who’ll come after us – to return to Heavenly Father and the Son.
Remember Jesus said, “I have overcome the world,” and thus if we are found
fully obedient – then we will be found as just men and just women in his
sight.
There is no magic formula – it
requires study – prayer – more study and seeking to know what is absolute truth
– and not just the imaginings of those Gnostics, or others from after 150AD –
who designed a religion of convenience denying only but a select few to be able
to be saved.
If you were a parent and you wanted
your children to understand your teachings – would you try to confuse them –
cause contention among them – or otherwise present nonsense? No – you would want them to understand – you
would keep it simple and of course it would make complete common sense. Well
our Father in Heaven is the same way – he loves every one of us – and as such
He has provided what is needful for us to return home someday to Him and be
reunited with our loved ones forever and ever. Yet many simply will not accept
the simplicity or what has been saved for us to study, instead following those
who teach some scriptures with Greek philosophy, mystery and things which just
don’t make any sense. Thus following as Paul foretold and taught – ignoring the
Gnosis – and replacing it with man’s wisdom or logismoi.
My recommendations really deal only
with the achievement of an Eternal Family Unit. Money, politics, wealth, power,
lusts, greed and avarice are all worldly things and have nothing to do with
either the pre-existence or with Eternal Life and happiness. Paul teaches of
three degrees of glory – or kingdoms – which the highest is the Celestial. And
within each degree of glory there are found varying level – we don’t know how
many. However, we do know that in the Celestial there are three levels – and
only in the top level are found eternal families for time and all eternity.
This is what the Scriptures teach.
Now a final note – as most of you who
read this know I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
(or Mormons). We’ve a companion volume
to the Holy Bible – each testifies of the other and both testify of Jesus
Christ as our Lord and Savior. Rather than taking someone else’s word for what
it says I would lastly recommend that you read both the Bible and the Book of
Mormon. Thus you can know for yourself
whether my recommendations are valid or not. Understanding what I’ve indicated
above – most will not – and that is okay – for all I was asked for was ‘what
would I recommend?’ Each person has
their agency to find what’s best for them – may the blessings of Father and the
Son be upon all – in the name of Jesus Christ – amen – c/ork
“Reality
of Who, What and Why?”

Long ago
my search began about reality
what is
really the purpose of the life to be
am I here
as a dust speck on a large table
or is
there something more to be discerned
for is
mortality all there is to be and end all
or is
there more than meets the eye of each?
Reality
of who, what and why do I reach
seeking for
some eternal or distant call
truly am
I about this to be ever concerned
or is
there much more to understand if able
so much
there is I want to eternally see
a voice tells
me there’s more than mortality!
