The first
way our solar system was looked upon was by the appearance
of things, as the sun did appear to be going around the
earth.
The sun center of
things, the real and true, could not be seen until the
beliefs of the earth center of things had run it's
course.
The same will be said
someday about all the ancient writings that has come down to
mankind.
The first way we looked
upon the great works of words, was also by the appearance of
things. The second way will also reveal the real and
the true, but this also cannot be seen until the first way
has run it's course. This will be when we reach a
great height in the material knowledge that starts going
against our planet and the demoralizing of human behavior,
like a swing that reaches a great height in one direction
and must come back in the opposite direction to create a
true balance.
This second way will point
the mind in the direction to the real and the true, which is
the missing link that stands between the world living
together under one universal law. For it is the
judgement of things the world holds as true which are not
true that makes the world wretched.
The question is, what other
way can we look upon the great works of words?
First, it is a mystery how
all the foundations of our beliefs and knowledge in the
world, stem from the first writings of the newly invention
of words.
Secondly, how can we truly
account for all that knowledge and insight in the great
works of words in the first place, when the mind must first
get the idea's from outside the mind by reading or hearing,
because the mind cannot form any knowledge on it's own for
the same reason the blind cannot form idea's of
colors.
Thirdly, Words had to follow
thought, so if there were no words at one time to follow
thought, only the appetites of the body and their needs for
survival could their thoughts follow. For there is no
exception to the rules in nature, where one of nature's
creation's steps out of character to have his thoughts
follow something he invented to live by. Besides, it
was already written, "that man shall not live by bread
alone, but by every word..." because nature has not over
looked anything for the existence of all life in it's care
for them.
If we believe man is the
cause of words existing, then according to the ways man
imagines the beginning of man, the human race started out
with a confused bewilderment, because nature had ignored him
completely. By that I mean, all other life nature had
clothed according to their needs, with a built in natural
aptitude to perform any action necessary for it's existence,
and to take care of it's own offspring with no need of any
outside learning to fullfill it's
purpose. Not so with man, for words are his only
guide that enables him to clothe himself accordingly to his
every need. But to think that nature has overlooked
anything in it's care, is in discord with nature on the
whole, and a revolt against order as expressed in the power
that orders the world. For the nature of the existent,
and all things existent are intimately related to each
other, and at no time could anything exist without natures
care. But for thousands of years according to man's
imagination of man's beginning, the human race drifted
aimlessly and hopelessly with no purpose, existing in
a state of bewilderment because man had not invented the
words yet to guide the human race, seeing nature had
overlooked this important fact.
It is written, "In the
beginning was the word". Shall we just ignore that
statement and assume it means something else? But
suppose the word was in the beginning and we refuse to look
upon the great works of words in this light. Then
we would be turning our backs on the real and the
true. For to look upon them in this light, the same
word now reveals the hidden meaning that has been there all
the time from the same word.
Consider this quote from the
great works of words and replace the word "instrument" to
mean "word". Surely there is no doubt that "word" is
not only an instrument, but a great instrument.
"Then this instrument (word)
must have it's own art, for the circumturning or conversion, to show how
the turn can be most easily and successfully made; not
an art of putting sight into an eye, which we say has it
already, but since the instrument (word) has not been turned
aright and does not look where it ought to look--that's what
must be managed. For if the instrument (word) had been
turned round towards what is real and true, that same
instrument (word) of those same men would have seen those
higher things most clearly; just as now it see's those
towards which it is turned".
By the same word from the
great works of words, that first taught us our beliefs and
knowledge of things, will now teach us a greater knowledge
from it's real foundation when the words have been turned
round towards what is real and true.
The scriptures say, "The
heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are
kept in store, reserved unto fire (truth) against the day of
judgement".
Words are the first power to
cause motion, yet they themselves are incapable of motion,
for words cannot move, it takes man to act upon them that
does the moving. You will find that the concepts of
the true come in the first place from words, and the
evidence the words produce cannot be overthrown. To do
so you must find some other standard of greater authority,
able of itself to convict falsehood by asserting
truth. How can this be accomplished without
words?
Words are a mighty power
and the eldest of powers which is an honor to them; and a
proof of this claim to this honor is, that of their parents
there is no memorial; neither poet nor prose-writer has ever
affirmed that they had any. Therefore words cannot be
claimed as property, they manifest themselves in form and
disappear again in fathomless and inexhaustible
source of all knowledge. Here is our guide to
turn things around, where all created things can be viewed
as constituting one whole.
The great works of words
insist we must assert that it is necessary that there should
be an eternal unmovable substance. For substances are
the first of existing things and must be without matter, for
they are eternal, and seeing words exist without matter,
they are eternal, if anything is eternal. Therefore
they must be actuality. If the words from the great
works of words would speak out they would tell you how to
look upon them and say "you should not ask questions, but
understand, keeping silence as I keep silence; for I am not
in the habit of talking. What ought you to
understand? In the first place, that which is produced
is the work of my silent contemplation, a contemplation
produced by my nature".
No other books in the world
has counseled man to think more deeply then the great works
of words. Down through the ages man has been
influenced by the path of thoughts from these books on man's
foundation of the words. These thoughts are not only
responsible for all our beliefs and knowledge, but also for
the conditions that exist in the world. Man knows no
other way for freedom and peace but by wars. To
destroy the enemy which he thinks is man. This means
the slaughtering of women and children in the
consequences. Surely this is madness to believe in
this slaughtering of human life---for peace! But true
progress is by means of intelligence and not brute
force. But the mind is the ruling power and is
persuaded by necessity to bring these terrible things upon
mankind. Yet when the influence of reason gets the
better of necessity, wisdom will begin to show
herself. "For that which we seek to behold is
the light which gives us light, even as we can see the sun
by the light of the sun". So until the world can grasp
the full significance of this enlightenment, and progress in
this direction, we remain in the parable of the cave, that
only see's the shadows of puppets and not their true
nature. This is the home of the illusion and error,
and no hope of bringing order into a distracted world.
The eternal foundation of the
word, a pattern intelligible and always the same, will guide
us by the wisdom of nature, where all created things can be
viewed as constituting one whole. The thoughts from
this foundation will determine your future where there is
hope.
It may well be that the true
origin of words can be proved by the rules of
mathematics. For a word of the exact relations
existing between many words, are so related to another word,
that any change in the value of one, is associated with a
corresponding change in the other, thereby fulfilling
it's function to generate by producing other words. By
producing, they have life, and life if the quality
distinguishing an animal or plant from inanimate substance,
such as rocks, earth, or water and especially manifested in
the power of growth of reproducing itself. It is time
for the controversy of Darwin to be put aside and apply the
theory of evolution to words. Reading the great works
of words with the thought man invented them, they are dead
objects used for expression, communicating and
teaching. This is the dead that shall rise when it is
discovered that words have spirit and life, and are the
entities that enables man to know anything that can be
known.
It is written in scriptures
"The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they
are life".
Now that we live in this
atomic age and scientists know, and can prove, that
everything is made of atoms, it seems strange that words
being the one thing that exist in the world that is
not made of atoms, is the very thing that taught us to know
that everything is made of atoms.
"Where can you go and find
word not to exist? Where can you go and find that
words can not be proved? Is there speech indeed, or is
there not? Can we, or can we not, distinguish it from
the chirping of young birds? Since I can say the word
one, how can speech not exist". Does the chirping of
young birds exist by nature, or does it exist because they
invented the chirping?
The scriptures liken's words
as seeds and seeds are of nature. Forever is in each
seed is so by nature and no man put that nature in the seed,
whether it be a grain of corn or wheat or whatever seed it
may be. Words are just like that because words are in
things and they cannot be detached from things.
It is written in the great
works of words "Who is calm and quiet becomes the guide for
the universe". There is nothing more calm and quiet
then the silence of these written words with freedom from
motion. So all the words in the great works of words
lay ever so silently, yet when they are looked upon you can
hear every word. But whether you hear aright depends
on the foundation you are listening from.
Where else could man look,
where the whole realm of existence can be expressed in a
higher system, then on nature's foundation of the
words.
