Natural or Civilized Living
There are two modes of living on earth.
They are natural living and civilized living (and a range of other
societies between these two). Natural living is when people
follow the laws of nature and/or their cultures have adopted its
norm based on nature. Civilized living is the life of those
who live in more advanced civilizations. They have created
their own laws which sometimes (or most of the times) is not
following the law of nature.
Natural living is what man has been doing for
thousands of years. They followed the nature, its seasons,
Laws, and rhythm. There were seasons, there was time to be a
child and time to be(come) an adult, etc. Adulthood would
occur early in life. In these cultures if a man had his first
wet dream (between 14 to 16 years of age), he was a man ready to
start a family. When a woman had her first period (between
nine to fourteen years of age), according to natural rhythm, she was
a woman and was ready to marry and have children. So people
started families at a very young age.
In civilized societies, however, people live
according to the laws they have set themselves. These laws may
or may not follow the laws of nature. For example, they only
allow men and women to marry when they are a certain age (for
example eighteen). If there is a marriage that does not follow
this law, it is illegal.
In societies that follow the rhythm of nature,
people live simpler lives and are considered not as sophisticated as
civilized societies. There are many other societies between
these two extremes. As men become more civilized and rely on
their own laws, they fall away from the natural rhythms of life.
Indeed the natural living becomes so alien to them that it looks
strange and is looked down at. This has become a problem
between these two modes of living in our time.
Since our teachings and Gods Revelations are
closer to a natural mode of life, some people in the more civilized
parts of the world are objecting to some of our teachings.
Here we will answer some of these objections:
Comment:
Your doctrine of temporary wives and twin flames violates the
civil laws of our country, and therefore violates the commands of
Esa to give that to Caesar that which is Caesars and to God that
which is Gods.
Answer:
There are many people who are having casual relationships (are
adulterous) with no restrictions. This has created many
diseases and many children out of wedlock. A family without
the presence of a married couple (a man and a woman) will not create
good Fruit (children). The society with such a setting will
eventually suffer.
Temporary marriage
brings some regulations to this matter. It also makes sure
that it is clear who is the father and so he will be responsible for
the child and at least the child knows he has a father and can
create some relationship with him. Of course, the goal of such
a marriage is to eventually make it a permanent marriage. When
the life of a child is involved, it is best for the couples to
consider this alternative for the sake of the child.
Now where has the
concept of Twin Flame come from? We can see this is true
about the life of Adam, Moses, King David, Christ, Muhammad, Shiva,
Krishna, and many other Messiahs. Adam had Eve and later the
wife that brought him Seth. Moses was loved by Neffertiti but
married . King David married the daughter of Saul but fell in
love with Bathsheba. Christ was close to Mary and Martha (some
believe they were his wives!). Muhammad married Khadijah but
loved Ayesha as well. Shiva had two consorts, Shakti and Kali.
Krishna also had two consorts, Radah and Durga. The conclusion
is that at least in the case of the First Begotten Son (as he is all
these Prophets), this is True.
Now we can
conclude since the First Begotten Son is supposed to be perfect,
then these two consorts together are his soul mates (each half of
him). In other words, since the Son is perfect he does not
have (cannot have) a soul mate, as the soul mate is supposed to
perfect a person. For this reason we can see that He always
comes with two women around Him (not necessarily marries both or has
a relationship with them like Mary and Martha). If this is
true, then other men should not have this problem, and we hope this
is the truth!
Now let us
answer the accusation that if this true, then it violates the civil
laws of our country, and therefore violates the commands of Esa to
give that to Caesar that which is Caesars and to God that which is
Gods. We in fact teach that our members should follow the
laws of each country that they live in. In the case of
temporary marriage, the contract between two people can be verbal.
Any prenuptial agreement between a man and a woman is legal.
The concept of
twin flame and polygamy, we again discourage anyone to act on these
concepts in countries where this is illegal. We, however, see
that even in these countries the concept of surrogate mother and
having more than one partner exists. So it seems it is a
phenomenon that such things do exist.
In fact, in civilized societies many people
still follow their natural instincts. This can easily be seen
in young people. They still come together, have sex, and the
female becomes pregnant, etc. This is accepted as normal.
This, of course, is not normal in the eyes of God. He wants
people to be married before having sex. In such societies,
however, marrying at such a young age is prohibited. So people
follow their natural instincts but do not make it spiritual as God
wants it to be. This brings a conflict between the Spirit of
man (being Godly) and following the laws of man. This is the
cause of many psychological and psychological problems on earth
We can see this problem in many aspects in the
life of civilized man. We also do not want to go back and
become primitive. So what is the solution? We have to
follow Gods Laws and create Laws that follow the natural Laws.
We, however, have to also create a society that man and woman both
progress in all levels. We have to set our society in a way
that men and women can marry when nature dictates.
The best relationship is between a man and a
woman for life. God has created virginity for a reason!
Temporary marriage and polygamy are not the highest in Gods Eyes.
In fact society should look down at these kinds of relationships.
This (polygamy and temporary message), however, should not become
illegal as there are situations that this is necessary (in fact Sara
asked Abraham to take Hagar as his wife so she might have a child
through her! Or having many wives might help the population of
a people, for example, to increase, etc.).
Comment: In
your teachings you promote human cannibalism (the eating
carcass).
Answer:
This is mentioned once in THOTH, in a hypothetical
assumption. We do not promote this idea and it was only
mentioned when we were talking about how we should be flexible in
different situations (in Essays I, Time, Place and Person,
Ignorance, Passion and Knowledge) in THOTH. It
was clearly explained that if person has no other choices, and they
do not mind this act, they may act upon this. So the possibility of
such a situation to occur, in any ones life, is slim. Even in
this situation, if a person has a great objection in doing this,
they do not have to do it.
Furthermore, in
cannibalism, people who follow this despicable act, actively seek
other people to eat. We oppose anyone who in any situation, no
matter how helpless it might look, to resort in killing others to
satisfy their craving for food. Indeed if such an act happened
and it is proven someone has done this, that person should be
severely punished.
So we can see that these Revelations have come
to man from a very compassionate God. We have to forgo rigid
laws. We have to be flexible and also see what nature had
intended. We become unnatural when we follow our laws instead
of Gods, and we will create unnatural understandings and we will
suffer at the end. The hope is that many people eventually
will see this clearly and we will set up a society which is
civilized but its Laws will be the Laws of God and follow nature as
closely as possible. In such a society there will be Purity
and Unity, Peace and Oneness!
