DEISM.ASC
|
||
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
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..
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Page 2
|
||
|
||
Fundamental
|
||
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.
