Set Them Free



“The truth that makes men free,
is for the most part, the truth which men prefer not to hear.”
(1)
– Herbert Agar

With most men, unbelief in one thing springs from blind belief in another.

Ethical axioms are found and tested not very differently from the axioms of science.
Truth is what stands the test of experience.

My religion [n  From the Latin religare, meaning to tie back; as in returning to one
s creator.] consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.

We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.  It is the
source of all true art and science.

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.

««« ------------------------------------------------------ »»»

How is that you may ask?  How is 'the marvelous structure of reality,' as Einstein says below, an illusion?  It's because the Physical Universe is a holographic projection,(2) the physical side of spirit as Sanat Kumara, the Ancient of Days, has shown us on the first page.

Consider that the building blocks of nature, atoms, are composed of energy:  That is, God's Spirit.  God's Spirit spirals from the Alpha to the Omega, the Yang to the Yin, the masculine to the feminine polarity as electrons pop in and out of sight when they periodically pass through the nucleus of the atom and are repolarized.

Albert Einstein demonstrated this relationship, that matter is actually energy-in-motion, in his famous equation symbolized as E = MC², or  Energy = Matter x Speed of Light squared.

Steven D. Johann

Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment.
Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.

Insanity:  Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking
with which we created them.

Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.

Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the
liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs.

The important thing is not to stop questioning.  Curiosity has its own reason for existing.  
One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality.  It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend
a little of this mystery every day.

Never lose a holy curiosity.  It is the theory that decides what we can observe.

– Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

 “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  
…  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 
…  Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear
[n archaic  Reverential awe.]
the Lord, and depart from evil.”
  –  Proverbs 3:5,6,7.

Do you even know that you are in bondage?  Do you even know what the Truth is?  The Truth that will set YOU free can only be the source of all Truth:

“... he that sent me Is True(3) (That is, God Our Father, Our very own individualized 
I AM Presence who does reside within each one of us); and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him (from him).”  –  John 8:26.

When the Pharisees replied to Jesus that they were free, he answered saying:  Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin(4) is the servant of sin.  ...  Ye do the deeds of your father.  ... Ye are of your father (proverb:  A son's character or behavior can be expected to resemble that of his father.) the devil(5) and the lusts (impure desires) of your father ye will do.  He(7) was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the Truth, because there is no Truth in him.  When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own:  For he is a liar, and the father of it.  ...  And because I tell you The Truth, ye believe me not.  ...  He that is of God heareth Gods words:  Ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.”  –  John 8:34,41,44,45,47.

For a glimpse into a couple of these deadly lies—some of the devil’s(5) strategies—please see the excerpts below from a guide book for the future Princes of this world, called
The Prince, by Niccolo Machiavelli (1469 - 1527):

“Therefore, it is unnecessary for a prince to have all the good qualities I have enumerated, but it is very necessary to appear to have them.  And I shall dare to say this also, that to have them and always to observe them is injurious, and that to appear to have them is useful; to appear merciful, faithful, humane, religious, upright, and to be so, but with a mind so framed that should you require not to be so, you may be able and know how to change to the opposite.  There is nothing more important than appearing to be religious.

“A prince should therefore have no other aim or thought, nor take up any other thing for his study but war (kinetic and spiritual) and its organization and discipline, for that is the only art that is necessary to one who commands.”

"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:  …  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto [eternal] life, and few there be that find it."  –  Matthew 7:13,14.

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:  …  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever [eternally] be with the Lord."  –  1 Thessalonians 4:16,17

“If ye continue in my work, then are ye my disciples indeed; ... And ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free.(8)    John 8:31,32.

1)  And why is this?  This is the fear of believing in the Truth that, once obtained, requires obedience to God's Laws!  However, the all-consuming Violet Transmuting Flame(7) is the Perfect Work of Truth, the Truth that can Set You Free!  That is, along with the knowledge of Who YOU Really Are, which I provide detailed proof of in my Christmas Letter on the following page The Violet Transmuting Flame(7) does so by purifying yours, and other's misqualified energies, freeing them from human discord and returning them to their original perfection.  This is what Freedom is – Freedom that is well-worth the price to obtain!
2)  A hologram is a physical structure that uses light diffraction to make an image, the image can appear to be three dimensional.  Typically, a hologram is a photographic recording of a light field (in this case, God's light field).  Holograms can now also be entirely computer-generated (and have been God-generated) to show objects or scenes that never existed.

3)  
Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence 
I AM:
  And 
I AM
 not come of myself, but he that sent me Is True, whom ye know not.
  –  
John 7:28.  
“And the Light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.  ...  
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.  ...  
The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.  ...  
He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.  ...  
That was the True Light, which Lighteth Every Man
 that cometh into the world.
  
–  John 1:5,6,7,8,9.  
The word 
man,
 as it is generally used, is an inclusive pronoun with the word woman, which is 
also reflected in the word 
mankind.
  The word w
oman is 
a portmanteau that combines the prefix wo in 
womb,
 with
 man to form the word woman.
4)   Sin:  n  Transgression of the Law of God; a misdeed or fault.  An old archery term meaning to miss the mark.
5)  Devil:  n  Deified evil (energy veil).  Just as God (life) is one, so is the Devil (the personification of death) one collective consciousness, made up of many individual fractal, or holographic(2) parts (Spirits, which includes all self-conscious, energetic beings.).  Death, or darkness, is only a shadow of the light (the energy we call Life) mis-qualified through the abuse of the gift of free will (which is the freedom to choose) in a discordant vibratory pattern.  Therefore, it has no power, it has no reality, and it has no substance whatsoever(6) — it is only Gods stolen Light, His Living Energy that animates it.  In the east its referred to as Maya, or illusion.  The only devils in this world are those running around in our own hearts, and that is where all our battles should be fought.”  –  Mahatma Gandhi.
6)  The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.  –  Revelation 17:8
7)  Just who is he, that Jesus calls their father the devil, and a murderer?  How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer (his fallen name being Satan, or the Devil), son of the morning (also called the morning star, who is personified as, and considered as a pagan god)!  How art thou cut down to the ground (the astral plane of the earth(9)), which didst weaken the nations!  ...   For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend [back] into heaven (the etheric plane of the earth), I will exalt my throne above the stars of God (the Saints in Heaven, aka Ascended Masters):  ...  I will ascend above the heights of the clouds (the physical planes of the earth); I will be like the Most High (that is, like God).”  –  Isaiah 14:12,13,14.  And there was war in heaven:  Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels  ...  And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven  ...  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world:  He was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.  –  Revelation 12:7,8,9.  And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him (the beast, who the dragon did empower), whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb (God's only begotten son, the Universal Christ) slain from the foundation of the world.  –  Revelation 13:8.
8)   See the page Be Free Now to learn about the Violet Transmuting Flame and for invocations thereto.  The purification of these mutations and the return of God's energy to the free state of higher dimensions is achieved by an act of divine mercy and grace which the Law requires man himself to invoke.
  Excerpt from Climb the Highest Mountain – The Path of the Higher Self (Series' Book 1 of 9) by Mark and Elizabeth Prophet.
9)  The Astral Plane of the earth is one of the physically-appearing (solid in appearance) planes of earthly existence that lie, in rate of spiritual vibration, below the Heaven or Etheric Plane.  It lies just above us—so close in vibration to our physical plane that it isn’t funny!  That allows for mediums and psychics to access the other beings residing there, such as those who have passed on (died) but who didn’t have enough light to reach the higher Etheric Plane: the habitation of the Saints in Heaven, also known as the Ascended Masters.  Sequestered there also are the Fallen Angels who, having rebelled against God’s authority in Heaven, were thrown out of their domain where they had been in service to the Lord, down into the Astral Plane as mentioned.  Between the Astral Plane and the Etheric Plane lies the Mental Plane.  These four Earthly Planes mirror the elements of Earth, Water, Air and Fire with the Astral/Water Plane, like water, covering the Earth to about a 10,000 foot elevation.  That’s why you feel so light when you’re up high up in the mountains—you’re now out of the mass-negativity of the water/emotional body covering the Earth.
10)  Esoteric:  adj  Intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest.
