Solution to the
Chaos

11:19
Steadfast righteousness tendeth to life; but he that pursueth evil pursueth it
to his own death.
Mat
15:14
Leave them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind; and if the blind lead the
blind, both will fall into a pit.
One would have to be blind not to be
aware of the evils that are slowly destroying the world we live in today. It
seems as if the entire world has gone insane and confusion reigns everywhere we
turn. We are on the brink of economic, political, and ecological catastrophes as
never before. Mankind has denied its collective responsibility to treat the
planet as sacred, to love our neighbor as ourselves, and to be our brothers
keeper. Because of corporate greed, a lack of ethics and a moral conscience,
national and religious pride, and individual egos, we find ourselves floating
amidst the sea of chaos and disorder. The flawed logic of self-interest
mitigates against the spirituality of the collective consciousness. We have
failed to teach our children within the intellectual framework that justifies a
social and spiritual responsibility. We have underestimated the influence of the
yetzer hatov (the good inclination) and the yetzer hara (the evil inclination)
within man.
Torah
teaches us that everything has within it a spark of Light or good, even evil
itself.
Even within the worst behavior and world philosophies we can find a spark of
good. We have struggled to define good and evil, depending upon our faith and
world view. We sometimes do not understand the truth that good may be evil and
evil may be ultimately help to manifest some good. We make the mistake of
defining good and evil by the appearance to our senses and subjective view at
the moment. What we observe right now, at the moment, is not always the truth
and objective view.
The appearance of the independent existence of evil is illusionary and all that
appears evil from a human perspective is in fact subordinate to YHWH, serving
His plan and purposes in some inscrutable manner. The Baal Shem Tov taught that,
Evil is the chair for the
Good.
This
world is full of problems and we are headed for a world-wide disaster because we
can no longer discern the true evil among us. Every nation, political party,
religion, and individual believes that they alone are right and everyone else is
wrong. We have developed an us or them mentality that will ultimately destroy
mankind. We have become a world of extremists and dualism. Most believe that
there are two equal forces at war over mankind (Elohim and hasatan). The UNITY of all things is not
recognized as a truth from the Scriptures. The misconception that a duality
exists in the universe has infiltrated every religion and philosophy. The Torah defines this duality as a form of
idolatry. Idolatry is both psychological and spiritual. Idolatry is slowly
destroying mankind because it fosters a psychological and spiritual instability
that unravels society as a whole.

Col
3:5 Then put to death your members which
are on the earth: fornication,
uncleanness, passion, evil lust, and covetousness, which is idolatry;
·
1Tim
6:9-12 and those wishing to be rich, do fall
into temptation and a snare, and many desires, foolish and hurtful, that sink
men into ruin and destruction, for
a root of all the evils is the love of money, which certain longing for did go
astray from the faith, and themselves did pierce through with many sorrows;
and thou, O man of Elohim, these
things flee, and pursue righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance,
meekness; be striving the good
strife of the faith, be laying hold on the life age-during, to which also thou
wast called, and didst profess the right profession before many
witnesses.
Let us not make the mistake of thinking
that evil does not exist. It does. Evil is that which is harmful and places the
universe in disharmony with nature and the Law of YHWH. However, what is called
evil to one society, religion, political party, or individual may be considered
good by another and vice versa. This is called duality. One side (good or evil)
seeks to overcome and destroy the other instead of seeking the sacred balance
between the two. This battle is destroying our world and collective and
individual psyche.
If we side with the false premise of
duality, then I would see whole nations, political parties, religions, and
cultures worthy of total destruction and make sure that everything at my
disposal would achieve that goal. This agenda has been used by various nations
and religions to justify the waging of wars, pogroms, crusades, holocausts, and
inquisitions throughout world history. Anyone who disagrees with us and stands
in our way must be destroyed .After all we have the divine right to wipe out
whole populations and cultures in order to take their lands and resources for
the national good.
The ruling elite have used religion to
justify terrible atrocities and crimes against humanity in the name of their
G-d. There is a selfishness that lies at the reality of most religious
institutions. This serious blemish began when the religious institutions became
the hand-maidens to the politics of power. The lines between the will of YHWH
and the desires of the various political agendas have become blurred and
indistinguishable. Embedded in systems of power and control, they no longer
teach about sharing and generosity towards all other human beings, especially
towards those who are outside our group or religion.

Mat
5:43-48
Ye heard that it was said: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and shalt hate thine
enemy; but I say to you, Love
your enemies, bless those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for
those accusing you falsely, and persecuting you, that ye may be sons of your Father
in the heavens, because His sun He doth cause to rise on evil and good, and He
doth send rain on righteous and unrighteous. For, if ye may love those loving
you, what reward have ye? Do not also the tax-gatherers the same? And if ye may salute your brethren only,
what do ye abundant? Do not also the tax-gatherers so? Ye shall therefore be perfect, as
your Father who is
in the heavens is perfect.

Those
who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves. ~Abraham Lincoln
Those who tolerate and indulge in evil
are worshipping idols, and denying the UNITY of YHWH. Ego and selfishness are klippoth (shells) that can be observed
in behavior in mankind when the persons center or axis is the ANI (egoic self) and everything in their
sphere of influence revolves around their selfishness. One of the great
illusions of the Ego is that it can control everything.
The opposite is called Bittul HaYesh, or submitting to the
will of the Holy One, which helps to free oneself from Ego and selfishness. The
only way to build a better world is by giving up the desire to control and
placing that control in the center of things. The spiritual rule is that the
more we give up our control; we actually are better able to control the things
around us that we are supposed to control. The world was not just created for
you or me but for all of us because we share it with over 6 billion other
souls.
Duality and selfishness lies at the root of
the problem and leads to fear, prejudice, hatred, war, and chaos. THIS FALSE
DOCTRINE OF DUALITY IS THE ULTIMATE IDOLATRY AND EVIL IN THE HEARTS OF
MEN.

Matt
6:24
No one is able to serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and he
will love the other; or he will cleave to the one, and he will despise the
other. You are not able to serve Elohim and wealth.
Each of us can make a difference in this
world. We have to realize that we cannot define evil by looking outside of
ourselves. There is no anti-god operating independently from the will of YHWH.
The creators power is supreme. The manifestation of evil is not something
outside the control of YHWH. To embrace that false premise is to abandon
monotheism and enter the religious realm of duality. There is no power or throne
that exists outside Elohims power.

Col
1:16 For by him were all things created, that are
in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or
principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for
him:
We cannot look at others and say they are
evil and we are good. Evil resides in each of us. This truth is the key to
overcoming the sin of idolatry within ourselves. Do not be shocked that all the
worlds problems are due to the fact that we all have a flaw within our human
psyche. This one flaw can influence the behavior and directions of nations,
religions, and individuals. This flaw is called EGO or selfishness.
Self-centeredness at the expense of others, on the part of nations and
individuals, is the root of the destruction and chaos we see throughout history
and in todays society.
Most nations and religions think that
everyone in the world should be cast in their own image and likeness. This
causes social and political agendas to manipulate and shape the thinking of the
masses under their control in a science called social engineering. This is
empire building in its worst form. The result has been the destruction and
suffering of billions throughout the centuries.
All around us we can see the evidence of
a new world empire taking shape. It exists today in the form of a world-view and
philosophy, but in the future this duality and selfishness will be broadcast by
those in power to impose their image on the masses of unsuspecting people. It
will under the guise of laws for the protection of greater good of the
homeland. Hitler and Stalin used these words in their propaganda to hypnotize
the masses to do their bidding. Those with an ear to hear will understand the
implications when the enlightened use the phrase for the greater good of
everyone in their political and national agendas.

8:31 -32
Then Yahshua said to the Jews who had believed in Him, If you continue in My
Word, you are truly My disciples. And you will know the truth, and the truth
will set you free.

They
that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve
neither liberty nor safety. ~Benjamin
Franklin, Historical Review of
Pennsylvania, 1759
·
The
people never give up their liberties but under some delusion.
~Edmund
Burke
We cannot recognize the new evil empire
by their flags, religions, race, or titles. Those with discernment will
recognize them by their attitudes and philosophies. Be forewarned, evil exists
within each of us in the form of EGO and the acceptance of the false doctrine of
the duality of the universe. Selfishness (idolatry) has lead to the destruction
of civilizations throughout time. The fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil is lying, murder, idolatry, adultery, and stealing with the root being
dualism and selfishness.

Gal
5:19-23 And manifest also are the works of the
flesh, which are: Adultery, whoredom, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strifes,
emulations, wraths, rivalries, dissensions, sects, envyings, murders, drunkennesses,
revellings, and such like, of which I tell you before, as I also said before,
that those doing such things the reign of Elohim shall not inherit. And the fruit of the Spirit is:
Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there
is no law;
Man is not the final authority in this
life. YHWHs Torah defines our moral and ethical responsibility to each other as
human beings. We have to respect each other as beings created in the image of
Elohim, not some other nation, race, gender, political party, or religion. In
order to root out the evil in the world, we have to pull out the root within
ourselves. We do not have to follow the world on the highway to
hell.
Heaven and hell or states of the mind or
states of being. We are not talking of the here-after or pie in the sky. There
are enough problems in the here and now to deal with in a life-time. Evil rules
this world because it rules the human heart. When any individual or people
desire to be on top and have others serve them, then evil is present. Yes, the
world is evil, but it is only evil because we allow the evil to dwell within us.
When EGO and selfishness prevail, the result is an insanity that results in
economic collapse, wars, and revolutions. Society will destroy itself, which is
the inevitable end of this planet.
The good news is that we do not have to
be a part of this current insanity. We can choose not to participate and allow
the social engineers to shape our minds into their image. We have a free will
and can make the right choices. All it takes is for us, as individuals, to exert
energy to do the right thing. We do not have to support the various
corporations, political parties, or religions with their social agendas. We
cannot run from the world and the evil, but rather we need to participate fully
in life and reject the evil, revealing the Holy Essence that lies at the center
of Creation. Instead of traveling on the highway that creates a hell on earth,
we can choose the higher road and bring a little of Heaven down to the earth. We
can choose to give more than we receive. We can choose the way of selflessness.
We can choose the Way of Life.

12:28 Observe and hear all these words which I

forever, when thou doest that which
is good and right in the sight of YHWH thy
