Since the downfall of humankind was the result of its
dubious error in allowing itself to forget the nature of
existence, the obvious way to salvation would be to
re-learn all we have forgotten. But how to do this? Are
we not at the mercy of present events and circumstances?
And if these scenarios are descended from our own
downfall, how can we possibly find the truth within them?
Simple, because the nature of spirituality still exists. Remember, we
have only forgotten about our spiritual nature, not separated
ourselves from it, and that be only by our ideas.
We have the understanding of evolution and its nature: To
make things better with Time. And fortunately, we have
enough recorded Time in history to see the path we must
take: Love, kindness, forgiveness.
Everything points toward that. Recent
examples: The Jews in World War II, Women's rights,
Freedom for the Black and other Non-Whites, and just
recently, the understanding and compassion for Gays.
Why these things?
Because there is the innate understanding within all of us
that we are all connected and the same, an aspect of
enlightened spirituality. Though many people on a
conscious level like to deny this, and this again is bore
out from the history of ideas and emotions, not
understanding, the truth of the matter is clear.
If there is not this connection, then why do people risk
their own lives to save another? Why do we have compassion
for endangered species? With the earth itself? Because we
are connecting
with all of these things -- another proof of our Oneness
with all things in the design of the spirit.
Unfortunately, it takes that one moment of possible
annihilation for these things which force us to recognize
it.
Sometimes all it takes is the simple understanding of why
people do certain things that can lead to enlightenment.
For instance, you might think it be horrible for a child
to brutally beat his mother, but how would the perception
be if you came to the conclusion the mother routinely
abused the child? Beat him, denied him love, shouted and
called him "stupid and worthless," ripped his favorite
teddy bear into pieces before him? Ah, a level of
understanding has been reached and now there is compassion
or at least realization of why events turned out the
way they did. Though both the mother and child did heinous
things to each other, know this: They each had their
reasons. No one is inherently evil without a cause for
being that way. And know this to: If either had knowledge
of their spirituality, they would have seen the uselessness
of their actions, but alas, they did not, so they will have
to learn it. And so do we.
Since all things are connected and are one, when we cause
harm to another, we truly do cause harm to ourselves. In
one form or another, when we come to the realization of our
actions and their consequences, and put ourselves into the
place of that which we have abused, we realize the heinous
consequences of our behaviors. It does come back to us.
So why not do something that is great and wonderful: Like
telling somebody how beautiful they are, how great they
are. If we were to love people as much as we harm and
smite them, how much better would the world and universe
be?
When we love unconditionally, it frees the other person's
soul to be who and what they are. And in return, it does
the same to you.
The very essence of Utopia
Natural Repentence
Since the goal of emergence from the Nothingness was to
become All That the Potential Was Within the Nothingness,
our "downfall" really has not been a downfall, just another
reflection of that goal. Ultimately, without the so-called
downfall, we could never have the opportunity to learn,
understand, grow, and reflect the nature and existence of
the potential from which we sprang. We couldn't understand
the potentiality without at first seeing what "life" would
be like without it. Now we have.
Fortunately, since the goal is the Maximum Reflection of
the Potentiality, we have always lived "naturally" to our
own repentance by the simple nature of our spiritual
design. Remember, life is the existence
of the spirit, not the body, thus our
repentance is not defined by our material life, but our
spiritual.

As stated earlier, the design of all the energy released
from the Nothingness was to ultimately return back into
that state; There is no need to "worry" about whether or
not you will ever get there, for there is no way around it
-- everything must come full circle. The problem is the
question of when will your energy be pristine
enough, or has experienced and learned enough, to where its
only course of change is to the Nothing again?
Having a connection and co-existence with the Divine goes
beyond happiness, it is actually bliss. Bliss being in
complete oneness with all things (which you really ARE, you are only separated by your ignorance of this).
And that is truly what we are all striving for, to shed our ignorance and become one consciously with All That Is.
And with the knowledge of true spirituality, the attainment
of that Bliss is more easily achieved than by simply
handing your life over to someone purported to have died
two thousand years ago that you have never met, nor whose
gospels can be verified as being written by actual
observers.
