The topic for this week based on feedback I received from many of you (and thank you for that), is “restoring the law through the parables of truth”.  The reason that I have chosen the theme of restoring the law through the parables of truth is that we have been speaking about how the courts as corporate businesses function, how we conduct ourselves in court, how it is imperative that we change our attitude and perspective in going to court in not being belligerent or aggressive. 

When we are belligerent or aggressive that puts us under their admiralty rules.  When we go in a position of honor and we are clear then the simplest of questions are the most powerful:  “Will you be hearing the matter today in good faith and without prejudice your honor?”  This is an essential question of justice.  It is a question that if it is answered in the positive, it gives us the right then to follow up and ask, “Do I have your oath on that, your honor?”

If the judge or magistrate answers yes to those two questions these most simple and basic questions allow us to pull back the veil as to whether we are standing in a true court of law or merely a star chamber, a torture chamber as a place to reap and sow great pain and misery. 

This is based on learning at least some key points about law; it is based on comprehending some of the essential principles of property and rights.  But for all that we have spoken about for months and years, what I have tried to do in the last few weeks is as honestly, truthfully and transparently that I can to present to those that have the time read, are willing to listen, have eyes to see and ears to hear the answer which is ultimately very, very simple.  

I do appreciate, I really am genuinely thankful when I receive feedback from some of you that you do find this information useful and helpful.  I also appreciate the feedback when people come and say, “You know what?  Even though I see the simplicity of what you are saying, even though I see the power of a properly formed affidavit, I find that when I talk with friends and colleagues of mine and with others I know, they just don’t get it and it is just not coming through.  It’s as if what you spoke about some weeks ago, this fog and this spiritual veil is preventing people from seeing it.”     

How do we cut through the fog?

You know what?  I think there is a lot of truth in that.  No matter how simply we present the cure, no matter how clearly we outline the steps, for whatever reason there remains a confusion, a frustration, an obstinance to people getting what is being said.  Now whether it is because people are beguiled by people promoting false information, whether it is that they are just simply ignoring the seriousness of the matters that they face, whether it is that are just melting under the pressure and enormous weight that we find ourselves in these uncertain times.   It could be all of those things.  Or, whether it is as we said a few weeks ago this spiritual interference, this fog that is deliberately trying to keep us divided, that is trying absolutely and desperately to keep us from restoring a sense of knowing who and what we are.  It could be all of those things. 

But, the feedback I got from last week that gave me probably the greatest hope was when some of you said, “You know what?  When you read out that parable on the prodigal son, when you showed us the original story, not the corrupted story that spends half its time speaking of the jealous brother that has never done anything wrong, when you give us the original parable of truth from Tara, that cuts through.  We got that.  It resonated with us and it made sense.  It gave meaning.”  That is why tonight we have the topic, Restoring Law Through the Parables of Truth.  

If you look at where we are to today and there are great problems, great concern and breakdown in basic trust and morality at so many levels now that these words are surrendered to most people’s minds.  If you had read any history and in fact if you have gone and seen a film, Conan the Barbarian (not a particularly good film, but there are many, many films then you would know as such examples of historic anarchy), that this is not the first time that society as whole, nations in particular, communities, families have found themselves at a threshold of fighting back to establish some kind of personal responsibility.  Societies have come and gone and civilizations have risen and fallen.  This is not the first time that we have faced crises of morality, the first time that in once sense that it’s a crises brought about from a false philosophy, the philosophy we have spoken about called nihilism. 

There is the philosophy we speak about on the home page of www.one-evil.org where is there is utter madness of nihilism and its lies that is more than 150 years old that speaks in the language of the  “jabberwocky,” of Lewis Carroll and the Mad Hatter.   It’s the language that says black is white, white is black, big is small and small is big and confusing us.  And justifying that it is the only philosophy there is that morality is irrelevant, morality is something that we can make up.  It’s a tool and a construct they say and the only truth is mind, but we don’t know what mind is.  But we still have an entire system that seeks to police mind, called psychology.  We don’t know what mind is, but we do know that we can create whatever we like and none of it is real.  That, clearly, is a recipe for madness.  So it shouldn’t be surprising that we live in a world where this insanity is so prevalent that is unique to this time.  As far as losing our way, trying to find out what is real; this is not the first time this has happened.  

The Power of the True Parable

So how did people, how did teachers, how did communities find their way through when things were so bad 100, 500, 1000, 2000, 2500 years ago?  The answer is what we call the parable, the very, very short story, and the words that give flesh to the proverb, to the maxim of life, to the reason.  To the nihilists the parable is an anachronism; it is their kryptonite.   Therefore it is the thing that they have spent quite a bit of time on, even before we saw them as nihilists who were corrupting.  If you can show wisdom with brevity, if you can show context in a way that cuts through the fog, then you have the most threatening weapon to this pervasive madness.  That is what parables were. 

When I read the parable last week I gave you link.  Go look at www.one-heaven.org and when you get there look at the "sacred texts" which is one of the links on the primary navigation and from the primary navigation (tool bar) you should be able to go to the bottom of the page and see the list of sacred texts.  When you look at the sacred texts one of them that you will see is called Tara.  Before we get into some examples of how powerful this wisdom is, how it may help us find clarity and how it may help us punch through all those obstacles and that fog with people that we have been speaking about.  What is Tara? 

Tara is the original law form created by the prophet Jeremiah when he traveled to Ireland and was faced with an opportunity to help kick-start and heal a society that had lost its way so much that people no longer knew who and what they were and where they came from.  Society had degraded to a situation worse than Conan the Barbarian.  Jeremiah was a priest of the Yei-Hu (Yahu or Yahuvah) of Egypt.  If you want to see the kind of knowledge that Jeremiah possessed go to the www.one-evil.org and look at the article on the Tree of Life.  Not only will you see the list of prophets which includes Jeremiah, but you will also see the knowledge of the Tree of Life and the knowledge of deep, deep spirituality that these priests had.  

One of the tools these priests had was parables.  So Jeremiah came with a series of parables and these parables weren’t the kinds of parables that we see in the bible, where in the example of the prodigal son half the parable was about the jealousy of the son that seemed out of balance.  Or there was the parable that shepherd that abandons 99 good sheep to chase down the one bad sheep.  It’s great for the bad sheep, but what about the good sheep that were left in danger?  It doesn’t make any sense and it doesn’t add up. 

The parables were clear.  There were not confusing, they were not “jabberwocky.”  They weren’t promoting black is white, white is black, good is bad, bad is good. They were very clear and the wisdom was very, very clear.  The power of these parables and the strength of these parables were that when taught orally, they formed the foundation of what we came to know as the Celtic Empire, the many, many kingdoms of Celts that spread throughout Europe, across to Asia and even to the Americas. 

What do these parables and what can these parables do to help us in light of the problems that we face in the world today?   Well, many things, but if we start with one example they can help us keep a perspective on life, a touchstone on moral principles and a reminder of what matters.  For example, when we face great difficulty, when we are faced with great challenges, when times turn around, sometimes we forget what it was like when we were in strife.  Keeping a perspective on life and a perspective on these morals is important.

Let’s start with an example and this particular parable under Tara on the website www.one-evilsheaven.org under sacred texts and look at Tara and then look under the heading of 32-Justice. When you get to the heading of Justice under the Eacturas you will find the parable of The Philosopher, the Ants and the Viper:

Parable of the Philosopher, the Ants and the Viper

1. A Philosopher standing upon a shoreline, observed the recent wreckage of a vessel.
2. As he stood and counted the bodies and observed the crabs and carrion,
3. He reflected thus: Oh providence! What heavy hand of justice that for the sake of one night and one voyage,
4. You would condemn so many innocent souls to the Otherworld,
5. You would condemn so many innocent souls to the Otherworld.
6. For below his feet he had been standing on an Ant nest causing them great consternation.
7. The Philosopher immediately set about not only killing the Ant that offended him,
8. But stomping fiercely upon the nest until all the Ants were dead.
9. When he had finished and did survey his handiwork, a fierce pain gripped his leg as a viper struck.
10. At that moment, he felt a sting on his leg from an Ant defending his nest.
11. Thus, by your actions I had no choice.
12. The Philosopher gripping his leg and the mortal wound did reply thus: I forgive you Viper.
13. For but a moment I insulted heaven and judged as if a terrible god
14. And in judging heaven unfairly, I did condemn myself to be judged.

That is the parable of The Philosopher, the Ants and the Viper. There are many proverbs built within just one parable.  You might have seen some of them as I read them out:  “Judge not lest you be judged.”  There are many parables you can view at how life and providence directs us to see perspective. The reason I read this particular parable out first is that I believe that it is a reminding portent to us as to how we often dig ourselves into a deeper hole.  For example: someone might face a parking fine, or someone might have a problem with their home.  By not thinking in this case the analogy is about the philosopher who is someone who has presumably thought about the world, thought about where he is and where he fits.  You may not see yourself as that, and that is fine.  But we have all been educated at some level.  If you are listening to this then presumably you have a computer and some means of access and writing.  You can read and write. 

Sometimes we forget what we have learned and instead we judge and react harshly to the circumstance and in doing so we force others to act in a reflexive way to protect themselves.   I can’t tell you how many times I have heard of people that have gone to prison because they made the action manifestly worse by attacking judges, prosecutors,     members of the department of justice, whether or not there was a basis of truth.  And, they went to prisons whether or not there was some incompetence, some malfeasance, some out and out fraud.  We have said, of course, that the system is fraudulent in so many ways.   But, beware the pursuit of vengeance, the phyrric signs of vengeance because it ends up hurting everybody. The system will react like a viper. 

This was an example of a question I answered last week when we spoke about bankruptcy and I made the point that you don’t have to go to a corporate business as a sole point of administering yourself or having your estate administered out of bankruptcy.  If you have done your Will and Testament, if you have followed your learning, if you have read and listened to these blogs, then you would be aware of managing your estate, how to appoint an agent.  It’s all there in the blogs and we spoke about it months ago.  We gave the links of where to go to see the documents.   Then you would be able to appoint an administrator and form a trust very simply and allow that agent, as the fiduciary and trustee of that temporary trust, to administer the estate out of this position.  Instead we react, we judge, and we judge harshly and sometimes that causes things to become much, much worse.  That is the parable of the The Philosopher, the Ants and the Viper.

There are many proverbs within it and maybe on reflection of it you may find many more proverbs relevant to your life.  The point in sharing that story is that it is an example that when wisdom and truth is presented in a certain way, it may well cut through the fog, the engine grease, and resonate with us more than sometimes someone listing a whole list of facts, figures and acts of Parliament, statutes and so on.  There is one example.

Another lesson that you might find when you go through and read these parables is the lesson of the price of running away from our fears.  As much as people don’t wish to admit it, one of the most common reasons that people don’t address problems, debts, conflict, is that people are naturally attuned to avoid pain, suffering and as a consequence we will pretend it doesn’t exist, we will leave it until the last moment or we will run away from it.  One of the lessons of life is that no matter how far we run, how much we hide, issues tend to come back and ‘bite’ us if we don’t face them head on.  Here is another example of a parable that might help us cut through and see why it is so important that not only to not judge things harshly and make things manifestly worse, but it is so important that we get our affairs in order, that we do the reading, and that we listen to what has already been presented.  

This parable is also under Tara at www.one-heaven.org and is under 20-Courage. It is called The Wealthy Merchant and the Painted Lion.

Parable of the Wealthy Merchant and the Painted Lion

1. A Wealthy Merchant, whose only son was fond of hunting, had a fearful dream,
2. In which he envisaged his son would be killed terribly by a lion.
3. Fearful the dream be an omen, he forbid his son any further adventures.
4. Instead, he built him a beautiful high walled garden,
5. Full of great life sized sculptures of animals and murals including a painting of a lion.
6. One day in front of the painted lion in a fit of frustration,
7. The son did speak: O you most detestable of animals!
8. Upon your account within the false visions of my father,
9. I am condemned to this palace as if a virgin princess.
10. With these words he stretched out his hands toward a thorn-tree,
11. Meaning to cut a stick from its branches so that he might deface the image.
12. But one of the tree's prickles pierced his finger and caused great pain and inflammation,
13. So that within a few days the son died from a violent and terrible fever.
14. Upon returning from business the Wealthy Merchant grieved:
15. Curse thee fear and cowardice. For you did conspire to manifest the very destiny I sought to delay.
16. Better then my son had died in honor, than a prisoner of my own making.

There you have it the parable, the story of The Wealthy Merchant and the Painted Lion about how often life will manifest and fulfill itself to our greatest of fears when it would have been better if we had faced those fears head-on and dealt with the issue.  Of course that is easy to say and it’s easy to say when you are not facing terrible fears, but when you are facing terrible challenges it’s something different.  I can’t imagine what it would have been like for those brave men who fought in WWI in the most horrendous of conditions.  Being born in Australia, Australia has a legacy of losing some its brightest and finest in battle.   These were men that stood up and jumped over the trenches straight into the German machine guns, where almost no one survived.  

One of the unanswered miracles of my ancestors is my grandfather who was also named Frank O’Collins, who I never met, who died before I was born.   He was a man who enlisted as so many did in Australia at the beginning of World War I.  He was a man that while he did not go to Gallipoli, he went to France and in France he saw first hand and was involved in battle and was promoted in the field 7 times from private, right up to major, ending the war as a British major.  He was constantly in battle with people dying all around him.  He was not awarded some great award, nor did he shy from death but what would I have done if I was in that situation?  Could I have done that?  

Now with the knowledge that life is a dream, the dream has rules, with the knowledge of the meaning of Ucadia, knowledge of the meaning that our minds are immortal and it’s only our bodies that die and like the driver of a vehicle, we can always have another vehicle, but the key is to remember and not simply repeat lifetime after lifetime after lifetime, the same mistake over and over and over again.  The key is to wake up in this lifetime and face our problems in this lifetime and not to fear death.  Here we have a parable of The Wealthy Merchant and the Painted Lion and it says to seize the day, life the life, and don’t wad yourself up in some place.  Don’t cotton with yourself and hope that things will be different.  Face your fears and stand in honor. 

So, maybe you find these parables useful.  I hope you do.  I hope you find them helpful and relevant.  Honor is not an easy thing at all.  But when you are facing tyranny, when you are facing a system that is so broken that it does not care for its origin, nor does it worry or concern itself any more as to the source of its claimed authority, it needs a few good people, just a handful of a few good people to stand up and help.  Maybe the parables, if you read them and become familiar with them, may be tools that help you when you speak with people in the way of explaining principles of life, truth of life, restoring of law and there is a morality, that it is not an illusion and something that can be manipulated.  These stories resonate with us.  

This is only a short broadcast tonight and I will end with one concerning honor.  This one is called The Travelers and the Bandit King.

Parable of the Travelers and the Bandit King

1. A party of Travelers were attacked on a remote stretch of road by fierce bandits killing all, except two men.
2. Of the two survivors, one man was known to always speak the truth and the other to speak nothing but lies.
3. One of the robbers, who had raised himself to be King, commanded them to be brought before him.
4. He ordered that all the bandits stand to attention in a long row on his right hand and on his left in front of a great throne.
5. After these preparations the captured men were brought before him and the Bandit King greeted them saying:
6. Verily, your life hangs in the balance of the question I ask you thus: that what sort of a king I be to you, O strangers?
7. Before the lying Traveler could speak, the truthful Traveler replied: Alas! You be a murderer and a tyrant.
8. For no amount of ceremony or pageantry can hide the truth that you are without right or Rule of Law.
9. Behold, all men must die. And if it be my time now to die, then I die with a clear conscience and in honor to heaven.
10. Upon hearing these words, the Bandit King replied: As you have neither pledged your alliance nor pleaded for your life, you shall be executed.
11. Yet as you have spoken the truth, I shall grant you a swift and honorable death.
12. Thus, the man who always spoke the truth was led away to his fate.
13. The lying Traveler then spoke and said: Oh great and noble King! In thee I see the model of authority,
14. And your men as worthy companions of an army to be feared by all nations.
15. I pledge myself to your service and humbly petition for your mercy.
16. Upon hearing these words, the Bandit King replied: As you did pledge your alliance and pleaded for your life, you will be spared.
17. But as you lied and showed such weakness of character, you are not fit even to be known as a bandit,
18. And so I shall chain you as if a lowly dog. For better you had died a noble death than the thousand torments of a scoundrel.

     Some people are happy to live in the gutter; some people are happy to debase themselves for a fraction more of pleasure.  Sadly there are signs of those addicted to the consumable, addicted to the nature of prescription drugs or to sugar or fast food or alcohol or sex or any of the other pleasures that are promoted.  This parable again has many different proverbs in it.  To my mind what this parable speaks of is the importance of speaking the truth and though the heavens may fall to always do justice.  It is better to die on feet than live on your knees was one of the famous lines of the film Braveheart with the figure of William Wallace.

     I know that it is easy for people to say, “That is fine for you, but you are not facing prison.”  Or they might say, “You are not the one that is going to lose your home.”   I realize that.    I realize that for many unless you are in the trenches side by side, it’s hard to take things seriously or credibly.  What I am trying to do, praying and pleading to all Heaven and Earth that we cut through the fog.  And in cutting through the fog we find a reason to be honorable, to be peaceful, to be humble, to be true.  Maybe the parables help us on that and help us find a way to make sense of things, to cut through the fog and the noise.

I    I will be finishing Tara as I promised I would.  I have finished Yapa on the fiftieth anniversary to the day of the first time Australia parliament recognized indigenous laws. We have Al Sufian and we will move on to be completing Five Worlds.  There are quite a few more parables to finish but there are plenty there.  I hope you find the time to read them, that you find the time to talk with others about them, and above all that they give you some certainty that you haven’t been abandoned and that the nihilists are not correct that it is all up is down and down is up and left and right.  That there is such a thing as truth and wisdom and that society was reset and recast more than 2500 years ago.  And we have in these small stories a way of cutting through to our children, our grandchildren and to one another. 

     As I have done in the past I’d like to say thank you to all who continue to help and support.  Your help and support are greatly and humbly appreciated.  Until we speak next week, please be safe and be well.  Thank you.
