A very interesting letter appeared in a Dear Abby column concerning
|
|||
|
|
the subject of DEISM. This rings so true with the principles we try
|
|||
|
|
to practice here at KeelyNet and Vangard Sciences that it deserves
|
|||
|
|
inclusion on the board.

Dear Abby :
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I recently saw an item in the RICHMOND TIMES-DISPATCH, written by
|
|||
|
|
Stan H. Covington Jr., which read
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"The Associated Press reported that during an interview with
|
|||
|
|
CBS, Saddam Hussein said,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
'God is on our side, and Satan is on the side of the
|
|||
|
|
United States.' "
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I wonder where Saddam received his "revelation." Perhaps he's
|
|||
|
|
holding Adolf Hitler's old astrologer hostage, also.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
During World War II, while I was serving with the 3rd Army in
|
|||
|
|
Germany, I removed a belt buckle from the uniform of a dead soldier.
|
|||
|
|
The lettering on the buckle read:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
" Gott Mit Uns (God is With Us) "
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
That started me to thinking: Can religion be taught without
|
|||
|
|
teaching bigotry as well? If one teaches, for example, that having
|
|||
|
|
a particular faith MAKES ONE A BETTER PERSON, is the teacher NOT
|
|||
|
|
ALSO IMPLYING THAT THE NON-BELIEVER IS AN INFERION ONE??
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
An experienced and motivated teacher might be able to do so, but
|
|||
|
|
how many parents or members of the clergy have BOTH THE WILL and the
|
|||
|
|
SKILL TO DO SO?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Teaching "tolerance" alone is INADEQUATE in that it STILL IMPLIES
|
|||
|
|
that the other fellow is WRONG, but should be TOLERATED ANYWAY.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As long as the "true believer" is taught that he is in any way
|
|||
|
|
SUPERIOR to the non-believer, he is well on his way to becoming a
|
|||
|
|
qualified BIGOT, RELIGIOUS FANATIC or member of one of the many HATE
|
|||
|
|
GROUPS that have been spawned by such teachings through the ages.

To the extent that your column encourages readers to THINK FOR
|
|||
|
|
THEMSELVES and to realize that there is nothing more wrong than
|
|||
|
|
SELF-RIGHTOUSNESS, you will have again performed a great social
|
|||
|
|
service.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Having only recently learned of its definition and noted
|
|||
|
|
adherents, please sign me "A Deist," and let your readers research
|
|||
|
|
the term for themselves. - A Deist in Mollusk, VA.

Dear Deist:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
My research begins with the dictionary, and it tells me that a
|
|||
|
|
deist is one who believes in the EXISTENCE OF GOD on the evidence of
|
|||
|
|
REASON and NATURE, with REJECTION of SUPERNATURAL REVELATION.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We are a nation of people living together with varying religions.
|
|||
|
|
Our Constitution allows us freedom of religion, which includes the
|
|||
|
|
freedom NOT TO BELIEVE.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So, be advised that atheists and non-believers are also regarded
|
|||
|
|
as FULL-FLEDGED CITIZENS. That's what freedom is all about.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I was not aware of this belief system of DEISM until this article.
|
|||
|
|
My dictionary shows the following :
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
de-ism - a movement or system of thought advocating natural
|
|||
|
|
religion based on human reason RATHER than revelation,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
emphasizing MORALITY,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
and in the 18th century DENYING THE INTERFERENCE OF
|
|||
|
|
THE CREATOR with the Laws of the Universe.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The DEIST conception is very appropriate to the Keely system of
|
|||
|
|
Harmonies within Nature. All that IS, is manifested through
|
|||
|
|
harmonies and disharmonies.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This includes the GESTALTIC (group-mind) concept of a superior order
|
|||
|
|
resulting from a combination of lesser components which singly and
|
|||
|
|
separately could not possibly evolve to such a high level.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The Greek idea of the Sacred Tetractys best describes how lesser
|
|||
|
|
forms unite to create more complex and thus more organized forms.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To best explain this, an excerpt is included from the file NEUTRAL1
|
|||
|
|
on KeelyNet :

*** TRINITY AND SIGNATURES ***
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A fundamental frequency is generated and sustained by two other
|
|||
|
|
frequencies which each in turn are generated and sustained by two
|
|||
|
|
other frequencies, ad infinitum..

|||

|||
|
|
2 3
|
|||
|
|
4 5 6 7
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This pattern continues throughout the physical and energy body of
|
|||
|
|
an individualized structure and is the basis of the SACRED
|
|||
|
|
TETRACTYS of the Greeks.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* < -------- Fundamental
|
|||
|
|
* * < ------- Harmonics
|
|||
|
|
* * * < ------ Harmonics
|
|||
|
|
* * * * < ----- Harmonics
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We can now see how tuning to the Fundamental will give a certain
|
|||
|
|
degree of "sympathy" to a mass aggregation.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This appears to be the basis for the trinity as manifest in all
|
|||
|
|
creation in the physical forms of PUSH, PULL AND BALANCE.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As we tune to successively finer frequencies IN ADDITION to those
|
|||
|
|
preceding, we find progressively more precise sympathetic linking
|
|||
|
|
to allow remote stimulation and control of the target
|
|||
|
|
aggregation.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Interference on the part of the creator (or any other entity capable
|
|||
|
|
of comprehending and altering energy flows) would constitute a
|
|||
|
|
warping of the natural order of the Universe normally based on and
|
|||
|
|
ruled by the laws of Harmony.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I heretofore considered myself an Agnostic, of the opinion that God
|
|||
|
|
is unknowable to the mind of Man. Gnostic being to know from direct
|
|||
|
|
experience, Noetic being to know from abstract inspiration.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This Deist concept merits more study. It "resonates" with that
|
|||
|
|
special ring of truth. Definitely worthy of more study.
