A PREACHER’S GOD–HILARY L HUNT MD

The catastrophic events of last Saturday evening (12-11-21), involving massive tornadoes sweeping across five states causing death and destruction, have generated an immediate query in my mind about how you or your preacher may interpret God’s intention in allowing or even causing such events to happen. I suspect there may be as many opinions as there are preachers and individuals—so, let’s explore a few.

Some may consider those events as modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah treatment of Mayfield, Bowling Green, and Dawson Springs, Kentucky, plus many places in other states. Others may say God wanted to see who is faithful to him and is willing to beg him for protection, and, if they escape unscathed, to know that their prayers were answered—they had favor with God. The implication of that kind of thinking is, either those affected didn’t pray, or, if they did pray, God didn’t like them, so he ignored their prayers. In other words, God deliberately performed a miracle for some, but made a direct, intentional hit on others.

My suspicion is that most priests and preachers, except the most radical, would completely ignore the ‘why’ of God’s intention. If they say it is God’s will, they are setting a trap for themselves because they must explain why God would ‘will’ such a hurt on anyone or even an entire city. They can’t explain what God’s Will is because they do not know who God is—they cannot define God’s essence. If they did, in fact, define God’s essence as I have (God is a Perfect Rational Being), they would automatically eliminate the need for their existence in their present role as preacher, priest or rabbi. So, likely little is said—and that is sad.

What I have observed on social media is a flourish of ‘praying’ for the afflicted. The logical question then immediately arises—what are they praying for? What are their expectations? Are they expecting God to reverse his position and restore everything like nothing ever happened? Are they asking the very God who allowed this death and destruction to occur to suddenly, miraculously, put food, water, shelter, and clothing on the very people he nearly destroyed? Seems to me like that’s like trying to put air back into a busted balloon.

Obviously, all that praying is a total waste of time and energy because the God who willed that torment is not about to ‘change his mind’—he can’t—he’s Perfect.

So, what’s the praying about? I am proposing that it is a terribly misguided sense of expectation generated by religion—the absolute false belief that God can change his mind. If God could reverse 13.8 billion years of truth, neither he nor his truth would be Perfect—he would be an imposter—not a chance of that.

What, then, should we be doing? I believe we should feel and express our deepest sympathy for the unfortunate—we should immediately offer our assistance in whatever way possible. For most of us that would be financial aid supplied through reputable agencies. Many able-bodied people could offer physical assistance through hands-on manual labor and/or clearing equipment guided by designated managers. Mostly, we should stay out of the way of the assistance and clean-up effort—do not hamper the appropriate agencies efforts by being a nosey busybody.

Now let’s get back to the ‘why it happened’. Recognizing that our God is a Perfect Rational Being and knowing that 13.8 billion years ago our Perfect Being visualized every perfect particle of energy in existence and Loved them into being with his Perfect Will, the Holy Spirit, time began. Immediately, those particles began doing perfectly what they were designed to do and have continued to do so in perfect fashion ever since. Everything that has happened since and everything that will ever happen is a direct consequence of those particles ‘first move’.

So, after 13.8 billion years, the atmosphere in our area was so imbalanced, with high pressure in one area rushing to fill the relative void of low pressure in the other, the resultant ‘balancing act’ of nature created the catastrophe we have observed—and to think, it occurred after all these billions of years as a direct result of the trillions and trillions of consequences that went before—that is God’s perfection. Those similar ‘balancing acts’ of God’s Nature have occurred and will occur many more times, but never again in identical fashion—similar, yes, but never again identical. In fact, similar activity is occurring simultaneously worldwide on a regular and perpetual basis.

When one throws a rock into a pack of dogs, the only dog that yelps is the one the rock hits—God’s perfection is perpetually throwing stones at us dogs. The entire universe is continually attempting to balance itself. God created it in an imbalanced attitude so change would be mandatory, and time would exist. If it ever succeeds in balancing itself, time will cease, and eternity will continue just as it was before God released his energy in the form of all the quanta in the universe 13.8 billion years ago. I read somewhere recently that some cosmologists are predicting our part of the universe will live another 100 trillion years before balancing itself—a number no one can comprehend. And the Jews carried the God of that creation around on their shoulders in a box (Arc of The Covenant)? —are you kidding me???

So then, how can our priest or preacher explain the cause of such events, and furthermore, advise us how to think about them. If they tell us, “it is God’s Will”, which it absolutely is, they have ‘cooked their own goose’. All their preaching is senseless unless directed at the fact that God’s Will is ‘set in stone’—perfect, unchanging, and unchangeable, meaning prayers are useless. But they never admit to that. They are constantly bombarding us with guilt-driving concepts derived from the Bible and speculative theology, all for power, control, and money. Such preaching might even give some listeners a false sense of security and cause them to fail in taking proper precautions.

Our only justifiable prayers should be ‘thanks to God for giving us the intelligence to recognize his unrelenting Perfection, and the common sense to accept and cherish it’. Should we be angry with God? I think not. We simply must be aware that God’s perfection demands such events and be prepared to protect ourselves as best we can. That is the message our advisers (ministers) should be delivering to us. God’s perfection requires a perpetual litany of tumultuous, violent atmospheric, geologic, and cosmic events. No number of senseless prayers can change God’s mind (Will)—it has been pre-set from all eternity and is totally indiscriminate. God plays no favorites— never allow yourself to believe you are more special in God’s mind than anyone or anything that has ever existed or will ever exist.

When we as an entire human race come to that realization (meaning become likeminded), we can have peace. That like mindedness requires both an understanding and acceptance that the Spirit of God, The Holy Spirit, God’s Will, the Existence-giving Principle of everything, is imprinted onto every particle of energy of which everything in our universe is made. I call that ‘Spirituality’. Considering that understanding, several years ago, I called for ‘The Worldwide Communion of Spirituality’—our only pathway to peace.

I realize I’m ‘hard on religion’ but it’s for a very specific reason. I see religion as the cause of most or all the earth’s strife. I see religion as having it roots in the ignorance-stall of mythology, astrology, and superstition—it cannot possibly ‘bear truth’. Our preachers speak of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Who is the God of all the other billions and billions of people who have populated this earth— do they not have a God? I say yes—we all have the same identical God, the one and only Perfect Rational Being.

But no religion I’m aware of knows that Perfect Rational Being. Due to ignorance, mythology, astrology, and superstition, every religion in the world has a different god. Guess what—those gods have been fighting and keeping the earth in perpetual turmoil since the beginning of recorded history. Each god is attempting to gain mastery over all others—and the beat goes on with strife, turmoil, grief, suffering and death as the consequence. Each god is envious of all others. Each is willing to fight to the bitter end to attain complete mastery over all for attainment of complete power and total control over all others for purposes of extracting their hard-earned money.

So, can we ever become likeminded in The Worldwide Communion of Spirituality? Regrettably, it seems highly unlikely. That complete philosophy is presented and developed in my three books Wilderness Cry, Peace in Spirituality, and Provocative Catholic.

AGGRIVATIONS, FRUSTRATIONS, DISAPPOINTMENTS, AND GOD’S PERFECTION–HILARY L HUNT MD

How many times in an average day do we experience frustrating aggravations and/or disappointments? I dare say most active people experience such unpleasant events many times each day. In my own personal life, while working in my gardens, I will notice at least dozens daily—something is always snagged, out of line, or won’t function the way I want.

So, with that little intro, how should we react to such situations and, more importantly, why. Before we can logically address those questions, we must consider their source—and what is their source? — God’s Perfection.

The totality of knowledge (truth) in our universe is contained in all the quanta of energy of which everything is made and represents at a minimum the Perfect Rationality of our God’s Perfect Intellect, and includes the imprint of his Perfect Will, The Holy Spirit. So, everything that happens in our universe is perfect for its set of circumstances. Furthermore, none of that would apply in a different universe where a different knowledge base (truth system) exists. In fact, it is entirely possible that neither universe would/could recognize the other or, even know the other exists.

To help clarify and fully understand, let’s review what God’s Perfection is. I have defined God’s essence as ‘A Perfect Rational Being’ with no equal nor superior. That Perfect Rationality is exhibited by each tiny particle of energy of which everything in ‘our universe’ is made—notice, I said our universe. I am not suggesting there are other universes, but neither I can’t exclude the possibility. However, if such were the case, that universe would likely be the result of another Perfect Rationality with a different nature from ours. In other words, truth that pertains in our universe would not necessarily apply in the other. Sound crazy? Well maybe but hear me out.

All that talk about another universe with a different perfect rationality is, of course, purely speculative. Despite that fact, if another universe exists with the identical Truth System as ours, it would necessarily be generated by the same Perfect Rationality as ours—our God.

So, let’s get back to the nuances of everyday life. Before I became aware of our God’s essence, I reacted to them with anger, frustration, disappointment, disillusionment etc.—I simply didn’t want those frustrations. However, with my current understanding, I realized most of them were caused by me and my rebellious nature—I didn’t understand God’s Perfect rationality before.

Now, with such occurrences, I have to chuckle to myself and say, “that’s another example of God’s Perfection”. That ideation doesn’t lighten the workload, but it helps me to be more careful and patient. As an afterthought, I spend at least half my time talking to myself saying the same thing, “it’s God’s Perfection”.

I am constantly reminding myself that, if all those untoward actions and reactions did not occur and always in perfect fashion, nothing in this universe could or would be reliable and functional—everything would be a complete failure from its inception. That, of course, means we, nor anything we know of would be here.

It is God’s perfect knowledge-based truth system which makes everything possible including all our frustrations. Simultaneously, it is that same system which makes possible all the joy and happiness we experience for having accomplished something worthwhile using that identical system.

The System is Perfect—we just got to understand it and respect it for what it is— our God. We will never know and understand it all, but as a world society, we are learning more and more of God’s perfection daily. Meanwhile, that same knowledge has made it more likely that we may soon self-destruct, and for what reason? —power, control, and riches (money). The logical question then is, how did we come to this point?

The answer to that question is multifaceted, indeed, but from my perspective, the least common denominator of it all is lack of like mindedness about our creator God—our Perfect Rational Being. Every god of any kind ever suggested is a pure myth. Each person has his own god just as each child has its own Santa. Most of those gods have been deemed to be vengeful and demanding of appeasement— ‘religion’ came into being to satisfy that deemed demand. One might think and certainly would hope that religion would be an ameliorating factor in promoting like mindedness. However, vast experience has shown us just the opposite. Religion of any and all kinds has been the most divisive factor of all. Not only has it fostered and promoted perpetual hostilities among us worldwide but, by its basic irrational nature, it has enticed solution-seekers to dream up more destructive schemes of societal function such as socialism and communism.

Just look at our globe today—it could go up in a giant fireball any second. And what is to blame? —irrational religion and ideologies. All religion is irrational because not one of them I am aware of recognizes and respects our Perfect Rational Being as God. Until they humble themselves to that recognition, there can be no like mindedness—therefore, no peace is possible. Of course, doing so would negate the need for their existence, which means it’s not likely to happen anyways soon.

So, having said all that, we can help the cause of like mindedness and peace immeasurably by doing the following: when anything we attempt hits a snag such as inadvertently setting a cup too close to the edge and having it crash into pieces, or slip on an icy step and sustain an injury, or playing with our phone while driving, wreck our car, or grapple with a piece of netting which snags one time after another, or a billion other such occurrences, just quietly chuckle and say to ourselves, “it’s God’s Perfection”. Then we are becoming more tolerant of our own and other’s deficiencies–-just as Jesus commanded, we are loving our God and our neighbor as ourselves.

I have written extensively on these subjects. If you have not already read Wilderness cry, please do so. Then Peace in Spirituality and Provocative Catholic will ring true for you. Growing Up In Fancy Farm Kentucky may tickle your fancy.

THANKSGIVING–HILARY L HUNT MD

We, in the United States of America, are rapidly approaching Thanksgiving Day—a day originally selected by the Pilgrim settlers of our nation for offering thanks to God for their success. It is my understanding that it was co-celebrated with some of the Native Americans whose land the colonists had confiscated—it would be truly fascinating to know what those natives’ understanding of that event represented. Very likely, they were just happy for a bountiful harvest that year and were glad to join in a big ‘party’ of celebration—who knows? I don’t.

In any event, we do know for a fact that the colonists were migrant invaders who eventually confiscated all Native American land except portions allocated for their reservations. In fact, the spot where I am siting now was once occupied by the Chickasaw Indians and related tribes. It became known as Jackson’s Purchase after Andrew Jackson and Isaac Shelby purchased it from them.

Often, I have wondered at the legitimacy of that ‘first Thanksgiving Day’. Indubitably, those settlers must have felt that their conquest was not only legitimate but also praiseworthy. After all, they had the blessing of the Church as well as the commission of the Kings and Queens. Consider this; if that identical activity took place today, the United States would be the very first to raise major objections even to the point of scourging the offenders with war or threats of war. But what do the Christian Churches say? I may have been hiding under a rock for the last seventy-five years, but what ecclesiastical objection to such activity I have observed could be put in a sewing thimble. Oh, we hear occasional pleas for peace but seldom, if ever, condemnation. I wonder why? —I think I know. It would be unthinkable hypocrisy for a Christian Church organization which sponsored such activity for centuries to suddenly ‘get religion’ and do an ‘about face’.

The same can be said about the churches’ stance on slavery. Not only did the churches condone slavery but most institutions ‘owned’ slaves. So, have you ever heard a whimper about slavery coming from a white Christian church? —I haven’t.

How then are we to consider Thanksgiving Day and every day for that matter. Recognizing the above to be relatively factual, there are other facts that must be entered into the equation. As far as I can determine, no one alive today has ever been legally enslaved nor has anyone legally owned a slave. Also, no one alive today had anything to do with the European invasion of the Americas. But does that have any bearing on the subject—aren’t we guilty by inheritance—you know, ‘Original Sin”?

The Church calmly blames us with original sin—why not ‘original conquest’? I think I know—she attempts to control us with original sin—‘she’ was the conquistador. She isn’t about to blame herself. Oh, Pope John Paul, after nine hundred years, finally admitted that a measly few hundred thousand were burned at the stake at the church’s behest during the Inquisition.

So, where does that leave you and me? — not one of us had anything to do with any of it. I believe it would be soul-searching and helpful for each of us to understand those facts. We need not accept any blame, but we do need to feel remorse and regret for the consequences to both the Native Americans and the African blacks who bore the brunt of those atrocities. Our hearts should go out to them in any meaningful way possible.

We cannot change or eliminate history, as some are constantly attempting to do. We can, however, be thankful and grateful to God for that soul-searching recognition and understanding. God, I know your love is perfect and I believe without any doubt that our only justifiable prayer is a great big, ‘Thank you God for my existence, thank you God for my subsistence, and thank you dear God for my eternal life with You’. Amen.

Several years ago, I called for the Worldwide Communion of Spirituality which is the recognition and acceptance that the Spirit of God (God’s Will) is imprinted on each perfect particle of energy of which every gravid object in existence is made. It is the absolute only method by which peace may be achieved.

I have delineated that philosophy extensively in my three books, Wilderness Cry, Peace in Spirituality, and Provocative Catholic. In addition, I have published a semi-autobiography, Growing Up in Fancy Farm Kentucky. I urge you to read all four—your eyes will be opened. Amazon-Kindle and me, handg@comcast.net.

SUMMARY–GOD’S ESSENCE AND ACCIDENTS (ATTRINUTES)—HILARY L HUNT MD

By defining God’s essence as ‘a Perfect Rational Being’, I have shown conclusively how and why all of God’s accidents (attributes),’God is All Knowing, All Powerful, All Loving’, stem directly from his essence of Perfect Rationality. There is absolutely nothing that can justifiably be said about God that in not included in that essential understanding and its attendant attributes.

Throughout recorded history, mankind, in its his ignorance of God’s essence, has ascribed all sorts of illegitimate attributes to God. I say ‘ignorance’ because, in the beginning, it was truly a lack of any knowledge, and it remained so until near-modern times. Mankind was simply trying to interpret the cause-effect relationship of events in their lives. Over the eons, many myths developed which, when combined with superstition, generated a whole host of irrational attributes of God. Of course, those perceptions became reality in their minds, and became the guiding forces in their behavior.

Eventually, many of those irrational perceptions became edicts of their rulers. Ultimately, those edicts were perceived as ‘handy tools’ of ultimate power exercised for total control which made extraction of their subjects’ hard-earned money and resources, not only possible, but rather, mandatory. I have searched far and wide for years and have been unable to discover any perceptibly meaningful change—that irrationality not only persists but seems to be thriving, albeit at a slower pace. In general, I perceive that people are becoming more and more skeptical of religion, but most seem not to know why—they have yet to read my philosophy books, Wilderness Cry, Peace in Spirituality, and Provocative Catholic. When they do, they will learn the basis for their skepticism.

So, let’s examine some of those myths. For starters, we begin with the ‘Adam and Eve’ story with its attendant ‘Original Sin’ concept. Augustine, Ambrose, Jerome, and other ascetics conveniently used that idea to explain mankind’s inherited sinful nature. They defined sin as an offense against God—something that hurts and displeases God and warrants God’s wrath. I have shown those concepts to be in error on two fronts—God’s Perfection negates any possibility of his being hurt or displeased—God’s Perfect Love negates any possibility of his hating or hurting anyone or anything for any reason.

Of course, Augustine was attempting to ‘justify’ that concept of sin’s origin but, more importantly, justify his position as Bishop or Sheppard of his flock—after all, he was a ‘big figure with a big stick’. Remember, he had spent his entire life as a debauch, womanizing and, simultaneously, sampling almost every known religion. Just as important, he was perpetuating the ‘absolute truth’ that woman was the seat of all evil—she, of course, tempted Adam to sin. Suddenly, he ‘got real religion’ and immediately was consecrated Bishop of Hippo in northern Africa.

I have shown that the idea of ‘sin’ was/is a man-made concept aimed at controlling man’s God-given animal sexual nature which is no different from any other animal except for our rationality—I suspect we should not be so cock-sure about that either. Just how rational are we? —at times, seemingly, extremely irrational.

Jesus recognized mankind’s ‘animal nature’ which is exhibited in many different forms due to individual personality development. He also recognized God’s Perfect Love—his only two commandments paraphrased were ‘Love your God with your all and love your neighbor as yourself’. Jesus condemned no one. He called out some as ‘hypocrites’—others he labeled a ‘brood of vipers’ or ‘a den of thieves’.

That which religion has labeled as ‘sin’, should, for the most part, be of civil consideration only. Human society makes its own rules regarding many things and major breeches of those rules are managed in a court of law, not a court in heaven.

On another front, we are routinely presented with the myth of ‘miracles’. I have shown conclusively that physical miracles are a distinct impossibility—God is Perfect and cannot possibly change anything about himself. In this universe, all knowledge, all power, and all love (acceptance) are perfectly preserved by their generator, God’s Perfect Rationality. For God to ‘unknow, unlove, uncontrol’ anything would require a complete breakdown of his Perfection—not a possibility. So, miracles represent one of two scenarios, either wishful thinking or misappropriation (misinterpretation) of events as perceived. A natural explanation exists for every event of any kind—it may not be obvious and therefore becomes subject to either wishful thinking or misinterpretation. I suspect it is often a convenience contrivance used for an ulterior purpose.

Prayer of any kind except ‘thanksgiving’ is a total waste of time and energy and borders on blasphemy because it is asking God to submit his Perfect Will to us rather than we submitting our wills to him. You might say, “what about prayers of contrition?” And I say you would do better for yourselves if you confessed with a contrite heart to a civil judge and vowed to not severely breech the law again.

Perfect Love allows for no possibility of hate or rejection. Likewise, since all existences are ‘part of God’, he cannot possibly reject or discard part of himself. Neither can he allow any part of himself to be separated. So, it is easy to see how these concepts came to be—they are contrivances designed to instill fear and guilt in us for purposes of ultimate control by their designers, the founders of religion. In the case of Christianity, it all stems from Constantine’s mandate for formation of The Holy Roman Catholic Church which was patterned exactly after the Judaism that Jesus despised.

Then there is the rite of Baptism which is generally accepted as a fundamental requirement for becoming a Christian. Likely, most people would be shocked and amazed to learn that Baptism was instituted by the Egyptians thousands of years ago as a ritual cleansing in the waters of the Nile River. Remember, the Israelites were enslaved by the Egyptians for four hundred years. During those years, they adopted the Egyptians ritual cleansing—likely, they were forced into it. That understanding explains the biblical narrative of, “John was baptizing in the Jordan”, with no further explanation. Is seems obvious that the author of that narrative expected all his readers to understand baptism to be a normal Jewish ritual which had been part of their lives for centuries. It had/has absolutely nothing to do with our relationship with God. It does have everything to do with a membership in a ready-made, controlling, influence peddling, money-machine.

I could go on and on, but it suffices to say that nearly every concept of modern-day, so-called, Christianity is in total conflict with God’s Perfection. All are based on the irrational teaching stemming from the Jews, that our God is a vengeful God, demanding sacrifice, and ready and willing to deliver his wrath on all. He can be merciful, but seldom loving. His ‘mercy stems from the fact that we have ‘offended, hurt, displeased’ him. We are guilty, but if we beg enough and give our money to him (?), he will temporarily forgive us. However, we must never let our guard down—we are condemned to live under a blanket of guilt and fear. I can tell you with certainty, ‘I know no such God’. My God is Perfect Love—he accepts you and me unconditionally.

So, in simple summary—all rationality in our universe is exhibited in God’s perfect particulate energy (quanta) which is demonstrated in all knowledge, all power , and all love (acceptance).

It seems to me that the Hindus and Buddhists, for the most part, have been engaged in attempts at understanding God’s essence rather than developing schemes of ‘bargaining’ with him. Of course, they also failed in their efforts at defining God’s essence because of lack of scientific understanding.

If you have not already done so, please read my books explaining this philosophy completely—you must read Wilderness Cry first. Then, you will understand the others.

GOD’S ACCIDENTS (ATTRIBUTES)—GOD IS ALL-POWERFUL–HILARY L HUNT MD

God is all powerful—How many times we have heard and thought that exact concept! But have we ever wondered how and why that is? I have shown in previous writings how and why God cannot just ‘silly-willy’ do anything he wants (what we think he may want). Of course, there is a reason for everything, and there is a distinct reason for God’s seeming impotence. Most of what we have been taught that God can do is pure nonsense, and here’s why.

All knowledge in this universe exists in God’s one singular vision with his Perfect Intellect—that vision was all the tiniest particles of energy which make up everything in gravid existence. Those particles were willed by God’s Perfect Will, The Holy Spirit, to come into existence at one instance known as ‘the big bang’. Each particle is perfect in both form and function, and is neither changing nor changeable—each has and will always, do exactly what God commissioned it to do.

God cannot possibly ‘change his mind’—remember, something perfect cannot possibly be augmented, degraded, or altered in any way. Any alteration in the form, or function of God’s perfect particles would cause an immediate disruption of our universal system—our universe would immediately implode, and God with it. So, where does God’s power come from?

God’s power exists in particles of energy, known as quanta, which he envisioned with his Perfect Intellect, and chose (loved, willed) with his Holy Spirit, The Will of God. Mind you, our sun, which is only one of trillions and trillions and trillions in our universe, has a remaining life expectancy of about 4.5-5 billion years. It has been in existence about 5 billion years already. So, it is middle-aged. Where then does the sun get its light, heat. and gravitational pull? It gets it all from its massive fusion reactions which convert Hydrogen into Helium.

Likely, everyone has heard of a ‘hydrogen bomb’. It is many times more powerful that an ‘atom bomb’. In an atom bomb, a large atom is split into many smaller ones with the release of energy—that is known as a ‘fission reaction’. In a hydrogen bomb, two hydrogen molecules are forced to fuse into a helium atom with the release of many times more energy—a ‘fusion reaction.

Now picture this: our sun is 1.3 million times larger than our earth. Try to imagine a hydrogen bomb the size of our earth. Now, try to imagine a hydrogen bomb 1.3 million times that large. Now try to visualize a hydrogen bomb a trillion-trillion times that large. Now try to imagine 100-trillion-trillion other celestial bodies of various forms and functions. Of course, we cannot wrap our minds around such magnitude. We are, however, gaining a glimpse into the magnitude of God’s power—his Spirit, The Holy Spirit, The Will of God is imprinted upon each of those particles. That Holy Spirit keeps each of them Perfect in both Form and Function just as God is Perfect.

Now, with that understanding, do you think God is All-powerful? —I do. However, despite that unthinkable power, God’s Perfection allows for no change. Any slightest change would obviate his perfection.

So, what are the implications of that understanding? From the very beginning of recorded human history, people have been taught that there were ‘string pulling’ gods who were controlling our every move. Most of those teachings and beliefs led to the formation of a religion designed to ‘appease’ those gods in hopes of gaining favor. The Hebrews, while recognizing ‘one true God’, were no different. They saw themselves as being able to ‘bargain’ with their God down to the last penny.

When Jesus came along, he could clearly see how the corrupt leaders were bilking their subjects of their hard-earned money under the guise of appeasing God. He went about in the ‘shadows’ attempting to teach his followers that God was ‘all love’—“Hear ye, oh Israel, I give you two commandments—thou shalt love your God with your all, and thou shalt love thy neighbor as yourself” (paraphrased). Jesus was a genius. He knew instinctively that God was in everything, else it could not be. Jesus refused to condemn anyone. Did he not forgive the harlot, Mary Magdalene, and the ‘woman at the well’ who had many husbands? Jesus could see how religion was being used to instill extreme guilt in people for being ‘perfectly normal’ as God had designed. The concept of sin was a ‘manufactured ploy’ aimed at control, power and money—it still is.

Jesus knew that breeches of societal regulation must be handled humanely, but not in the name of religion. His sole purpose and intention was to liberate people from the terrible blanket of guilt which had been pulled over them by religion, all for control.

It seems certain that we will never know how successful he was in his educational efforts. By the time Emperor Constantine called the first Council at Nicaea in the year 325 AD, there were 1800 so-called bishops under his domain. They were constantly squabbling and bickering with each other about what Jesus said and did. It seems very likely that each bishop altered the written word to suit his own whims. In any event, 180 of those bishops met and formed the Holy Roman Catholic Church. Totally ignoring Jesus’ teachings of God’s Love, they patterned the new religion exactly after Judaism—and the control, power and money extraction persists to this day. In fact, there are 33,000 of those money factories worldwide.

You might ask; “What does all that rambling have to do with The All-Powerful God?” And I would answer; “Everything”. I must confess that I am not intimately familiar with the teaching of every so-called Christian sect. However, I am familiar enough to observe the perpetuation of the ‘big lie’ that God can, and does, ‘change his mind’ and perform miracles for some. Of course, all the ‘big lie’ is mediated through churches which demand our attendance, attention, and most of all, our money.

Above, I have shown clearly that none of that money-grabbing teaching is possible. God cannot possibly change anything. That means that all the praying, begging, and paying is total nonsense.

Now, mind you, I am no fool. I am fully aware, that all that guilt and associated praying and paying are an ‘anxiety reliever’ for many—such is their sense of self-deprecation, guilt and oftentimes worthlessness. Also, there are many that would ‘swear on a stack of bibles’ that God worked a miracle just for them, and oftentimes for a trivial request.

In summary, then: God is all powerful in his domain in which we exist. However, his power, enormous as it is, has limits confined to his Perfection. He cannot possibly change anything.

With that in mind, our only justifiable prayer is this; Thank you Lord God, Jesus and Holy Spirit for my existence, my sustenance, and my eternal existence with you.

I have expounded this philosophy in depth in my books, Wilderness Cry, Peace in Spirituality, and Provocative Catholic. In addition, I have published a semi-autobiography of the first twenty-two years of my life which you may enjoy, Growing Up In Fancy Farm Kentucky. Amazon-Kindle, and from me (handg@comcast.net).

As a footnote, I am aware that other religions, namely Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism have been trapped by some of that same delusional thinking.

GOD’S ACCIDENTS (ATTRIBUTES)–GOD IS ALL-KNOWING–HILARY L HUNT MD

God is All Knowing. How many thousands of times have we heard and, possibly, used that term? Have you ever pondered how or why that is? I suspect most of us have been taught that from an early age and just accepted it without question. Probably, also we have been led to believe that God can do anything he wants, or better still, do anything we want him to do. Well, I’m here to tell you that neither of those assertions are true and I will explain why and how those false assumption came to be.

We will begin to understand that falsehood when we come to realize that all knowledge was released in one simultaneous instant—the moment of the Big Bang. Prior to that, there was no time. God existed in eternity, but all his knowledge was stored in his singularity—it had nor been released or exposed.

The instant God chose to expose (release) his knowledge, it was done in the form and fashion of a ‘big bang’. And what was the ‘big bang’? Simply stated, it was the instant in which God imagined with his Perfect Intellect all the particles of energy (quanta) and chose (loved, accepted) them with his Holy Will to be released throughout the entire universe(s)—Trinity God became evident.

Immediately, those particles began performing the task for which they were designed—Time was instituted. They began making things—protons and neutrons which along with electrons formed atoms. They did, and are still doing, their given task in perfect fashion. They are unrelenting, unchanging, and unchangeable in both their form their and task—they exist in eternity—they are God.

Collectively, those little particles encompass the entirety of rationality—they represent everything God imagined—they are the totality of truth—they are the totality of knowledge.

Of course, the atoms formed from God’s particulate energy, have continued to act, and react with each other to form every gravid object in existence. As explained in previous communications, each of those entities exhibit an unfulfilled need which I have labeled selfishness. That selfishness is what perpetuates time (change) in the exhibition of God’s ultimate goal—his demonstration of Perfect Love which is his unrelenting acceptance of us and all creation.

It should be obvious, then, that God’s Knowledge cannot possibly be changed. God is not capable of rejecting his own Perfection. Therefore, there is nothing new in the universe. However, nearly everything in the universe is yet to be discoverer, uncovered, exposed by us. We have just begun to make those exposures.

Remember, just a few centuries ago, the earth was flat, the earth was the center of the universe, sex was evil, witches roamed the earth, and men had the right to conquer and enslave each other.

To stoke your memory further, I’ll ask one simple question; “Who perpetuated those myths?” And I’ll give you a very short and simple answer; “Religion”. In the western world it was and is the Holy Roman Catholic Church which was commissioned by the Roman Emperor Constantine in 325 AD and has been perpetuated in diluted and strangulating form by them and the other thirty-three thousand so-called Christian religions ever since.

Collectively, they may now admit that the earth is round, that the sun is center of our solar system (universe), witches are a myth, sex is a ‘necessary evil’, and that colonization is immoral. They admit to those considerations only because they are ‘proven facts’—they are a sample of God’s Perfect Rationality. However, they have not and will not admit that the ‘colonization’ of our minds through the myth that God’s Perfect Intellect can be changed is a gross refutation of God’s Perfection.

God is Perfect in all respects and, therefore, cannot possibly change anything.

Seemingly, not a day goes by that I don’t see someone’s post on Facebook asking for ‘prayer warriors’ or anyone and everyone for prayers for some cause of theirs. Always, I must immediately ask myself; “what do they want? —are they asking me to ask God to change his mind, or are they simply asking for my kind wishes?” I get the distinct idea that they are asking for God to change his mind and ‘perform a miracle’ just for them, which, I have just shown, is impossible. They always have my kindest considerations and best wishes but that’s as far as it can rationally go.

Who’s at fault here? Quite obviously, it is the churches and their preachers who instill delusional ideas into our minds for one simple reason—control of our minds and pocketbooks. Instead of preaching God’s Perfection which includes his Perfect Love, they thrive on lathering us with the guilt-ridden Old Testament myths of a vengeful God who can be influenced by ‘sacrifice and begging.

Likely, the people who wrote such nonsense were trying to understand their Higher Power, but because of total ignorance they had no possible chance of making intelligent assessments, but society has been stuck with that irrationality ever since. It did, in fact, eventually become extremely profitable for its perpetrators—guess what? —it still is.

In my original dissertation on this subject in my book, Wilderness Cry, published in 2016, I make what should be an accepted fact that our ‘only justifiable prayer’ is a ‘great big thank you Lord God for my life, my sustenance, and for your perfect love of me’.

My books Peace in Spirituality and Provocative Catholic extensively elaborate on God’s Essence and his accidents (attributes).

ACCIDENTS (ATTRIBUTES) OF GOD—GOD’S WILL–HILARY L HUNT MD

God’s Will is the other half of his Perfect Rationality. It is, in fact, the Holy Spirit. In our last correspondence, we discussed God’s Perfect Intellect which perceived and perceives all. That ‘all’ are the tiny particles of energy which make up every gravid existence and represents a ‘mirror image’ of their Generator whom we call God the Father. Cumulatively, those particles, being a mirror image of the Father, become God the Son. So, now we have two perfect, identical beings viewing each other. They have no choice except to ‘accept, love, choose, will’, each other. That is The Will of God—The Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity.

In former days, the Holy Spirit was called the Holy Ghost. I suspect that Holy Ghost stemmed from the superstition which pervaded early Christianity, as it still does. However, even though they had not the foggiest idea of what they were talking about, church leaders, a few years back, decided Ghost was a little too scary and replaced it with Spirit.

In my book Provocative catholic, I define spirit as ‘a driving force’, and the Holy Spirit as ‘The Existence Giving Principal’.

So, in simple language, with his Perfect Intellect God Perceived ‘all’ and said, “I like that “and with his Perfect Will, the Holy Spirit, he said “I will, love, choose” that ‘all’.

Thomas Aquinas’ philosophy which stems from Aristotle, and which was eagerly adopted by the Catholic Church, makes it appear that the intellect and will are independent of each other. That is to say, they operate totally independently of each other. I can prove to you that is incorrect. There is no such thing as ‘free will’. In a rational person, the will ‘must choose’ what the intellect perceives and presents to it as the ‘better of two choices’. In an irrational, psychotic, crazy, person, that is not the case. In fact, those people’s intellects frequently seem not to recognize the proper identity of things. Therefore, their choices do not meet the standards of rationality—they are ‘out of touch’ with reality, and they say and do things which are irrational.

You may say,” what about a murderer, rapist or bank robber. They make the choice to do those things?’ And I say, they make the choice because their intellect tells them that those choices are the better. That, of course, has to do with ‘personality development’.

That very concept goes to the heart of our western world legal system. Instinctively, we want revenge with punishment for criminals. Jesus never rejected anyone—he called some hypocrites, others, a ‘pit of vipers’, and still others ‘a den of thieves’ because of their using religion to bilk their subordinates. He was a traitor because he was preaching God’s Love versus their preaching a vengeful God who demanded sacrifice.

As a sidelight, a momentary comment about criminal management. They must be incarcerated with love until and if they can be rehabilitated to the point of seeing their criminal behavior as bad and unacceptable—that is possible through psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

Jesus, the ‘Great Liberator’ knew that we are all different personality-wise. He knew that peace could only be achieved by our accepting each other’s differences. That is why he gave us the two Great Commandments—Love God with our all and Love or neighbor as ourselves. That ‘love’ means ‘acceptance’.

I have shown how God, with his Perfect Love, accepts us unconditionally because we are made by him in his exact image—he cannot possibly reject, hate himself. With his Holy Spirit (Will) he keeps his ‘stamp of approval, acceptance, love’ on all his creation. Jesus knew that and he knew that his people ‘must be liberated’ from the oppressive, guilt purveyance of religion.

It was the Jewish religion he was decrying at the time. However, were he alive today, he would ‘be after ’all so-called Christianity because it is all patterned exactly after the Jewish template.

I have thoroughly elucidated this philosophy in my books, Wilderness Cry, Peace in Spirituality, and Provocative Catholic. If you would like to, know more about me personally, you would likely find my book, Growing Up in Fancy Farm Kentucky, to be very interesting and possibly spine-tingling.

ACCIDENTS (ATTRIBUTES) OF GOD—HILARY L HUNT MD

Today, I will discuss with you another of God’s attributes, his Perfect Intelligence which perceived all. Often, we have heard that God is all-knowing and that is true. He is all-knowing because his Perfect Intelligence envisioned all knowledge at once. That knowledge stems from God’s only creation which is all the tiny particles of energy which make up every tangible existence. Collectively, those particles are known as quanta which is the plural of quantum and represents the smallest particle which cannot be further subdivided.

Quanta come in many different varieties each of which has specific characteristics and activities. However, each particle of any variety is indistinguishable from its counterparts, each is perfect in both form and function, and each is unchanging and unchangeable. In total, they represent God’s Perfect Intelligence. Just as important, they are God’s mirror image, and represent the Second Person of the Trinity. Because they are the sum-total of God’s intelligence, they are God—Just as God the father, their generator, they do now, always have, and always will exist in eternity.

Quanta have been given different names by particle physicists—names such as photon, electron, quark, boson, etc., and each has specific characteristics and duties. For instance, a photon is the basic unit of light—unless absorbed, it will travel through space incessantly at the speed of 186,000 miles/second. Quarks make up the protons and neutrons in the nuclei of atoms, and electrons spin around those nuclei to complete the atomic complex. The great particle physicist, Stephen Hawking, proved scientifically that an electron can be in 5 x 10⁵⁰places simultaneously. That understanding led him to suggest that each of those places represents a different universe. So, we are speaking of a Perfect rational being of incomprehensible knowledge, and dimension. Try to imagine a number like 50 with fifty zeros attached—that number is probably too small to encompass God.

I would have to conclude that God has no limits. Because he is those particles, he knows exactly what each has done and will do forever—hence the source of his perfect knowledge. He set them in motion and created time nearly fourteen billion years ago. Knowledgeable scientists tell us he will recall them into a singularity seventy-five billion years hence.

So, the implications of God’s perfect Intellect are many. I will list a few that may resonate with you. Because God’s Perfect Intellect espouses Perfect Love, he cannot hate—he accepts all his creation without expectations. Therefore, hell is an impossibility. Because God’s nature is unchangeable and unchanging, physical miracles are an impossibility. There is natural explanation for all such events—we simply have not discovered it yet. Incessantly begging God to make something unnatural happen (asking for a miracle) borders on blasphemy because we are asking God to change his nature for us rather than humbling ourselves to accept our plight. In my opinion, our only justifiable prayer is a great big thank you God for my existence, my sustenance, and your love.

One could ramble on forever about the implications of God’s perfect Intellect, but these few examples should be sufficient to make it clear.

This is an entirely new philosophy which I was able to derive from my definition of God’s essence: God is a Perfect Rational Being—who can refute that?

My complete philosophy is spelled out in my Books, Wilderness Cry, Peace in Spirituality, and my latest, Provocative Catholic. Wilderness Cry is an absolute mandatory read for your understanding—you will then want to read the others.

ACCIDENTS (ATTRIBUTES) OF GOD—HILARY L HUNT MD

In the field of philosophy we speak of two basic characteristics of anything. One is its ‘essence’ which defines what it basically is. The other is its ‘accidents’ which define the specific individual it is of any given essence. For instance, we may define the essence of a table as its ‘tableness’—that is the basic quality which makes it a table. Then, any given table has ‘accidents which make it the specific (one of a kind) table it is, such as round, square, oblong, glass, marble-top, etc. So, all tables have the identical ‘essence’, but each has its own set of ‘accidents’ (attributes, characteristics) which define its specificity. So it is with God.

Those of you who have read my book(s), Wilderness cry and Peace in Spirituality, know that I have done something never before done—I have defined God’s essence. And I did it with six simple, irrefutable words: God is a Perfect Rational Being. That definition has unbelievably far reaching implications not the least of which is the complete negation of the validity of any and all religion(s).

With that short introduction, I will begin today with series of posts about God’s ‘accidents’. The first discussion will concern God’s ‘Perfect Love’.

If we admit to God’s perfection, and who can deny it, we must admit to perfection of any and all of God’s accidents including his Perfect Love. I will begin by observing that ‘imperfect human love’ which we all have, comes with a ‘price tag’—I love you but I expect something in return. So. what is love anyway? Simply stated, love is ‘acceptance’—its synonyms are choice, will, spirit, desire, longing for etc.

Perfect love means acceptance without conditions. With that understanding then, we must realize that God accepts each of us regardless of what our fellow man thinks of us. God knows that each of us is a product of each and every life experience, all of which have shaped our individual personalities with its attendant attitudes and persuasions. God knows that each of us, as well as everything in existence, is composed of his own perfect particles of energy which he released at the moment of the ‘Big Bang’. Those particles are doing perfectly what they were designed to do—they act and interact perfectly to every instance of their existence and have done so for nearly fourteen billion years now—they ‘are God’—they are a reflection of God’s Perfection and represent ‘The Son’, the second Person of the Trinity. It is that Perfect ‘love relationship’ between the Father and Son—the accepting, choosing, willing, spiritual engulfment, of each other that is The Holy Spirit, The Will of God, the Third Person of Trinity.

With that understanding then, it is easy to see that God cannot possibly reject himself. God does not recognize ‘sin’. Sin is a man-made concoction which likely was made in an attempt to interpret both good and bad events in their lives. However, it rapidly evolved into a scheme of powerful control with extortion of money and goods by the rulers from their subjects—by all means, it still is. Those schemes are known as ‘religion’. There are thousands and thousands of religions, each proclaiming righteous authority and correctness, while simultaneously disclaiming all others. As of 2014, there were thirty three thousand so-called Christian denominations and sects on this earth—each bilking their adherents.

When Jesus appeared on the scene and began preaching ‘God’s Love’, he was considered to be not only a heretic but, worst of all, a ‘traitor’ to the Jewish religion. And how was he received by the locals?—‘is that not the carpenter’s son?’—how could he know anything? And Jesus’ statement; ‘no prophet is without honor save in his own country’. Jesus knew he would be crucified as a traitor, but he could see the invalidity of the Jewish religion—he could see and feel the heavy ‘blanket of guilt’ pulled over his brethren by the Jewish hierarchy, all for control and money. In his final onslaught he called them a den of thieves and vipers—hypocrites of the worst kind. Jesus was so determined to ‘free the world’ from the oppression of religion that he was willing to die in so doing.

Jesus despised religion, as did the Apostle Paul. He said the worship of God was an individual thing according to each person’s understanding. His entire message was about God’s Prefect Love—‘see the lilies of the field, they neither sow nor reap, yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed as one of these’. Jesus knew no science but is keen insight led him to know and understand the ‘presence of God’ in everything. Jesus taught ‘love’, love of God and love of neighbor. To my knowledge, Jesus never mentioned anything about ‘liking’ anyone. We are not obliged to ‘like’ anyone or anything, but we are obliged do ‘love everyone and everything’—‘hear ye, oh Israel, I give you two commandments. The first is thou shalt love thy God with your entire being, and the second is this; thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself’ (paraphrased). Jesus’ only purpose was to expose the tyranny of the guilt-sewing Jewish religion, and free us from that oppression that we may love our God and our neighbor without threat or fear.

Jesus was our liberator, not our redeemer—we were never lost in the first place—God’s Perfect Love had already established that from all eternity. The Christian religion established under the Emperor Constantine in 325 was patterned exactly after the Jewish religion—a total refutation of Jesus and his teachings, yet under the ‘guise’ of his stewardship.

You may say; what are we to think about criminals such as murderers, rapists, bank robbers etc.? Are they not ‘sinning”? And I would say, they are ‘sinning’ against mankind, but not God. So then how are we to think about criminals. The natural instinct is to despise and hate them because they have hurt us—they must be punished. I say they must be ‘pitied’ because their life’s experiences have led them to this point. They must be incarcerated temporarily to protect society, but they must be treated with kindness and respect. With proper management, most can be converted to a rational mindset, and can be made fit to function in society. After all, God loves them equal to us— shouldn’t we love them also?

God’s perfect Love makes it impossible to either please or displease him. His Perfect Love makes it impossible for him to change his mind—if he were to change, which he cannot, he would no longer be perfect, and neither would he exist in eternity. Change involves ‘time’ and since eternity is a state of being without time, ‘change’ for God is impossible.

So, all this has deep implications. Physical miracles are impossible because they would demand God change his nature, which he cannot. Therefore, all the praying you and I have done over the decades is, and has been, a total waste of time and terribly misguided—it has, however, keep us laden with that blanket of guilt which, in turn, benefits the ‘peddlers of religion’. I’ll guarantee you if the money-well dried up, those who were so concerned about our souls would vanish like ‘ghosts in the night’.

The bottom line is this: our only Justifiable prayer is a ‘great big ‘Thank You dear God for my life, my sustenance, and for your Perfect Love’.

Next time we will discuss God’s Perfect Rationality.

CONFUSION–HILARY L HUNT MD

Have you ever been confused? Pretty absurd question, eh? Yes, we all have been confused about a myriad of things from time to time. We are frequently confronted with situations or propositions about which we have inadequate information necessary for making clear-thinking decisions and solutions. One of the biggest points of confusion for me was examination taking in school. It wasn’t too bad in elementary and high school, because, if I was confused about the exact meaning of a question, I could get clarification from my teacher by simply raising my hand. College was different—one could get occasional clarification but not often. Medical school was a definite no—if you didn’t understand the question, which I frequently didn’t, it was just tough luck. I learned quickly that medical school professors were not English professors—questions were often written with ambiguous language which may be interpreted in various ways. It became a guessing game and, of course, I guessed wrong way too often—I knew the material but didn’t understand the question. I often wondered if some of that ambiguity was deliberate to keep medical students humble.

Frequently, we may be confused about another person’s motives in our interpersonal relationships. That is a place where we must be very careful in our assessments. Our perceptions become our reality, but they may not coincide with the reality at hand—relationships may be ruined. My mother used to say, “you gotta be careful about jumping to false conclusions”.

On of the most common exhibitions occurs on the golf course. Like everything in life, there is a proper way or method of approaching a problem, and there are ten million wrong ways. No one has ever perfected the golf swing on a perpetual basis. There is a theoretical perfect swing, but applying it consistently is the challenge. There are days when one hits every shot consistently well and, thereby, feels like he’ll never hit another bad shot. Then there are days when a ‘good golfer’ just cant find his swing and feels like he’ll never hit another good shot—he is severely confused—where did my swing go? A dedicated good golfer will hasten to the practice area, diligently apply his known fundamentals, analyzing each one by one and usually will discover his point of confusion. He will discover that his set-up, swing path, or swing pace has gone awry. He makes the adjustment, makes a few swings and bingo!—confusion eliminated— problem solved. The solution is always temporary—sooner or later a problem returns. That’s what makes golf such a fascinating game—no one has conquered it—I suspect no one can. WE are perpetually eliminating points of confusion in golf.

Today, I spent considerable time researching different religions who claim Jesus as their leader. It continues to be both amusing and shocking to peruse the variances in religious beliefs about one individual and his Father. The obvious confusion in the so-called Christian world is astonishing. When one reviews the different beliefs about one individual, Jesus, it is rather obvious to me that two possible circumstances prevail. Either we do not have a concrete record of what Jesus said and did, or we have interpreted his motive incorrectly, or both. I believe, without doubt, that both pertain.

When one considers the mass confusion in the so-called Christian world, it would seem mandatory to assume that either we have insufficient or inaccurate information about Jesus or both. Where is the justification for the existence of over thirty-three thousand Christian sects alone? How is it possible that so many have taken such differing views of Jesus and God?

The number one answer to that question lies in ignorance—ignorance of who God is. All are operating on a perceived view of God, dreamed up thousands of years ago, which is based on mythology, astrology, superstition, and imagination. So, with that as a starting point, everything that follows falls into the same category. Simply stated, not one of them knows who God is. Therefore, they cannot possibly know or interpret properly what Jesus said, did, and meant.

I am convinced that Jesus knew that the God of the Jews was a man-made, make-believe, God rigged by the Jewish hierarchy for control, power, and money. Their God was sitting on a throne in a mythical heaven up there somewhere—he was vengeful—he must be appeased—the High Priest must make a ‘perfect offering’ of appeasement to him. Also, only the High Priest could provide that offering to be made in your name, and always at a substantial cost to you. Jesus recognized that as a hoax. Not only that, but he knew that God, his and our Father, was in everything or nothing could be. He knew and preached that God was all love—his only command, which has been totally ignored, was ‘love your God and love your neighbor’.

Jesus did not come to die for our sins as has been preached forever. Nowhere in the bible can I find such a verse coming from his mouth. Jesus came to eliminate our confusion. Jesus came and died to ‘liberate’ us from the false belief of a vengeful God. Jesus despised religion. Jesus’ message was love—love of God and love of neighbor. Those who formulated the first official Christian religion, The Holy Roman Catholic Church, at the behest of Emperor Constantine in 325 AD, were not about to give up the power and control of their subjects. So, they formulated a religion patterned exactly after their Jewish heritage religion. Their God was not ‘all loving’—he could be if the notion struck him. Mostly, he was vengeful but he could be merciful.

Jesus knew that an all-perfect God must be all-loving—he could not possibly hate something he had created. The ideas of hate and retribution are man-made ideas stemming from selfishness. Jesus knew that the oppressive Jewish religion fostered an aura of guilt in us all which entailed feelings of fear and suppression. Jesus wanted to liberate us from that irrational oppression by telling us that God loves us in spite of our selfishness which he instilled in us and everything in his universe so we could function. Consider this; if we had no selfishness, we would have no need; if we have no need, we have no change; if we have no change, we exist in a no-time framework—we would be in eternity. That is true for every gravid existence in the universe.

My only understanding of God’s purpose in creating such a universe is to both ‘show and simultaneously be’ perfect love. Jesus was the instrument God used to tell us that. By telling us that truth, Jesus exposed the cunning and divisive purpose of religion-makers—so, they killed him—he knew they would, but his determination propelled him onward.

Jesus recognized that the Spirit of God resided in everything. He also recognized that the only way peace could be achieved was for all mankind to know and accept that principle—the principle which I have labeled ‘spirituality’. With that understanding, a few years ago I issued a call for ‘The Worldwide Communion of Spirituality’—it is our only hope for peace. We must recognize that each of us is impregnated with the common Spirit (love) of God.

I have delineated that philosophy in detail in my books Wilderness Cry-a scientific and philosophical approach to understanding God and the universe, Peace in Spirituality, and Provocative Catholic. In addition, I have published a semi-autobiography, Growing Up In Fancy Farm Kentucky, which will give you a keen insight into the life and upbringing of the author.
