Season 4 Podcast 195 Argument for the Existence of God, What is Real
As eternal children of God we are expected to see not just through our eyes of jelly which merely serve as a camera lens, interpreted by the brain, but through the eyes of our understanding, seen by both the heart and the brain but perceived by the spirit and interpreted by the Holy Ghost.
Clearly, we all have a divine nature. We are of equal birthright with infinite lives. We are brothers and sisters. However, because of the veil drawn over our minds causing us to forget our former home and prisoners to our flesh, we must redefine who we really are. What once we saw through spiritual eyes, we now see only through a looking glass which magnifies our flaws and obscures our beauty. Tragically, too often, rather than redefine ourselves, we allow others to define who we are, using earthly criteria of classification and division. We are to the world as insects to a scientist, classified and divided and pinned to a wall and labeled for the world to see. With the weight of tradition, we allow them to “put us in our place”. Their criteria are false based on prejudice and the arrogance of pride.
But opposition is essential, or we would be like dead things. Earth is the perfect training ground designed for the purpose of helping us to know who we really are. Without all three realities— the temporal, the spiritual, and the philosophical—governed by conditional law, we cannot experience, in full, freewill, freedom, agency, and liberty. Only through the exercise of freewill can we know who we really are.
Temporal reality and spiritual reality are imposed upon us by absolute law. Truth lies only in temporal and spiritual reality. In other words, temporal and spiritual law. Philosophical reality, on the other hand, is based upon our perceptions of who we are. It is based upon our experiences, our culture, our environment, our beliefs, our traditions, our social interactions, learning, logical constructs, desires, emotions, drives, lusts, ambitions, opinions, language, possessions, commerce, literature, etc.
The first challenge in a world governed by temporal laws, spiritual laws, and manmade laws, is how to maintain our liberty. The greatest assault on man is the assault against his freewill. Everything appears bent on taking away our liberty. Everyone else appears to know what is best for us. It is in man’s base nature to want to control others. The evidence is ubiquitous. We are choked by a surfeit of manmade laws designed to force us to obey the will of others. How quickly power turns into control and unlimited power turns into unlimited control.
“For the greater good” is the devil’s motto. Satan is a jailor, and many people voluntarily walk into his prison and slam the doors behind them, like Shakespeare’s Caliban, shouting “freedom! Freedom” Heyday freedom.”
Only when manmade laws are in perfect harmony with physical laws and spiritual laws can perfect liberty be achieved. Liberty is a mortal matter only; freewill, freedom, and agency are eternal matters. Absolute truth, not man’s perceptions of truth, rules the hereafter.
Truth is knowledge of reality based on absolute law. Truth is knowledge of the past, the present, and the future, of things as they really were, as they really are, and as they really will be. We were sent to earth to find truth. In heaven, as spirits, of course, we found truth everywhere, however, without opposition, we could not comprehend truth. We were like fish in water trying to define water without comprehending what water was.
Only on earth does philosophical reality compete with temporal reality and spiritual reality.
