Sananda: Recognizing and Defining the 12 Most "Deadly" Sins. 1. Pride 2. Avaice --Phoenix Journal #27
Esu Immanuel Sananda
First, we would like to give careful clarification of our use of terms to represent God/Aton. You will find that we often say “Father within” or refer to Aton as a “HE” signaling “male” gender. This way we term our Creator in your language is NOT meant as a sexual GENDER as you recognize same. Our Creator God/Aton represents BOTH male/female “principles”, if you will. There is no “sexual” gender differential. The SPIRIT of LIFE is what you may understand, in limited language, male/female energy representation. AS ARE ALL OF YOU! You each have chosen a body, male or female, for your experience, only BOTH energies are represented within each of you. Also, you will find examples used in which we will say “he” which we mean as a general hu-man term for humanity, NOT specific sexual gender. This we explain so that the ones who are in “female” physical form do not feel “slighted” or that we honor them less. And so also, ones in “male” physical form do not feel more or less than equal to female humans. ALL fragments of CREATOR/CREATION are equal in reflection regardless of what “color” or “gender” of physical form is taken. In your own minds, if you prefer to call and refer to GOD/ATON/CREATION as Mother/Father Creator/Creation...then so be it.
Now, we would like to bring “light” and understanding unto that question ALL of you have struggled with, and that is, “What is Evil?” But before you can have understanding of “What is Evil”, we must help you to understand, “What is God?” Since The Laws of God and Creation given forth have described God as the “ruler” of the human races and the “King of Wisdom”, then this, in itself, implies that God is a GREAT BEING of spiritual wisdom and perfection within THE CREATION. But to confine what God IS to limits of 3rd dimensional human language and perception alone is a mistake. Because of the “limited” boundaries of your plane, you have not yet developed the capability of defining a “limitless” being or “state of being”.
Since our God Creator has “created” us, what this means is that He has “fragmented” Himself, as The Creation fragmented itself in the Creation of God, in order to expand and experience more of THE TOTALITY OF THE ONE. This is why God’s Laws, the Laws of Nature, the Laws of Balance and the Laws of The Creation all exist as the same UNIVERSAL laws of cohesive harmony and ONENESS. Universal laws are the COSMIC CODES of unlimited creative unfoldment which allows the greatest degree of EXPANSION and of EXPRESSION of THE TOTALITY OF ALL THAT IS. Each fragment exists as a part of CREATOR God and thus as a part of THE CREATION as well. The Cosmic Codes or “laws” are the keys of LOGIC which maintain the balanced coalescence of CREATIVE unfolding EXPANSION of the ONE ALL THAT IS. So, by learning to recognize that which “limits” your expanding creative potential, you will identify that which keeps you “bound” to your “illusion” of separation from THE ONE. And by gaining the wisdom of KNOWLEDGE of what is Evil, Sin, and Adversary to God and Creation, you will then be able to wisely move your awareness to what is your personal responsibility in the Co-creation of the LOVE of LIFE which is the JOY of WHOLENESS and ONENESS of the LIMITLESS CREATION.
So then now, “What is Evil?” Evil, also called “satan” or “adversary”, is all thought and the energy it creates which is allowed or is chosen (through Free-Will) to exist, which “confines” and “limits” the expansion and expression of creative unfoldment of the totality of ONENESS. It is that which “swims” against the flow of Cosmic Creation in order to FEEL itself in separation and thus it exists only within boundaries or limits of THE WHOLE. It is self-consuming in that it seeks to dominate the WHOLE and because it can only dominate within ITS own self-imposed boundaries, it finally is consumed ITSELF by the rushing waters of the expanding ONE.
Now many ones in their exuberance of “finally” grasping the concept that ALL IS ONE, will oftentimes believe that they must now be ALL-allowing since all are choosing experience as part of The One. We will hear ones say things such as, “There is no “good” and “bad”, all is just experience; it just is. Therefore, how can I judge something such as a behavior or action to be “bad” or “good” for another when it is not my experience or “right to judge another.” What we say to this is: you can “allow” yourselves into perpetuity, but if you do not recognize those thoughts, words and deeds which are CONTRARY to LIFE AND GODNESS, how do you think you will reach HIS UNLIMITED kingdom of CONSCIOUS IMMORTALITY?
Does this mean that by recognizing the Anti-Christ or adversaries, that you must make YOURSELF the enforcer of God’s Laws? NOT AT ALL. God needs NO enforcers, HE needs only examples be set forth so that ones can see a “brighter”, balanced and “more loving” way of BEING. Each must begin that journey within self, and as each ignites his flame of TRUTH and Godly understanding, so, too, will he CHOOSE to change his thinking, behavior and actions in order to BE IN BALANCE WITH GOD IN ONENESS. This does not mean that you will “allow” others to maliciously cause you harm. You must always honor self and God and defend yourself, if necessary, to protect your self from abuse or damage by another. You do not have to choose VICTIMHOOD, ever, and you must NOT tolerate or “allow” behavior directed AGAINST you or your brethren which you KNOW is contrary to the Laws of GOD and Creation!
Do you see what your gift of FREE-will is, dear ones? It is through your experiences of learning what GOD is NOT that you will, therefore, KNOW what GOD IS. We have observed, as many ones will say smugly, “But God created EVERYTHING including evil, so it just IS a part of our experience.” REMEMBER THIS CAREFULLY: GOD/ATON created Hu-man in his IMAGE OF PERFECTION; He gave you FREE-WILL and with YOUR FREE-WILL YOU have CHOSEN to BE the ADVERSARY AND BREAK EVERY LAW OF BALANCE, so don’t any of you ever think you can shirk yourpersonal responsibility because you believe God created evil—MAN CREATED EVIL WITH HIS OWN FREE-WILL! And with the DIVINE MERCY of his Creator, ATON, HE WILL FIND his way BACK to GODLY BALANCE or he will continue to remain bound in his DARK CAGE of SELF-service and SEPARATION FROM the CREATIVE SPIRIT OF LIFE!
You see, friends, YOUR free-will is really YOUR choice to make your will GOD’s WILL, OR to live according to the will of your “altered” ego which seeks always to “limit” your spiritual understanding and, therefore, to disrupt and destroy YOUR creative potential, harmony and balance of ONENESS. Ultimately you will recognize that the ONLY free-will you have is that which is GOD’S will, because you will have gained the wisdom of knowing that the logical balance of GOD’s WAY is really THE ONLY WAY to the JOY of TRULY balanced spiritual freedom.
Now, we will be defining and discussing what are the “deadliest” sins, or errors, made in your experience which keep you “swimming” up stream against the flow of the balance of the COSMIC CREATIVE UNFOLDMENT. These “sins” are the tools of “satan” or the “adversary” to keep you bound in your “illusion” of separation from God and The Creation. Also, you are kept under this dominance, through the ignorance of false “belief” and “superstition,” of a “false” power which keeps you locked within the spiritual starvation of “limited” manifested reality.
1. PRIDE
PRIDE as defined in your dictionary: “1. An undue sense of one’s own superiority; arrogance; conceit. 2. A proper sense of personal dignity and worth. 3. That of which one is justly proud.” As you see by this definition there seems to be two diametrically opposed “types” of pride. The one which is our focus as “sin” or “error” to the Spirit Within is what is also termed as “False” pride. False pride in itself refers to feelings of haughty superiority and “rightness” versus the feeling of self-respect and honor for achieving an understanding or act which one has diligently and honestly “worked” for.
Now on page 54-55 of the PHOENIX JOURNAL entitled SATAN’S DRUMMERS by Jesus Sananda, Sananda is discussing at great length what is “evil”. The one who is possessed of “evil” or that which is Anti-God, is most self-willful.
We will quote, “Healthy individuals submit themselves to the demands of their own conscience. Not so the evil ones, for in the conflict between their guilt and their will, it is the guilt that must go and the will that must win. Evil people are extraordinarily willful, determined to always have their own way and they have a most remarkable power in the manner in which they attempt to control others....and yet, a characteristic of all “great” people is that they are extremely strong-willed—whether their greatness be for good or for evil. I, Jesus, as you called me, was unbending and strong-willed; ah, but so was one named Hitler—could it be the difference in “willingness” and `willfulness’? Mine willfulness was that of our Father’s—Hitler’s was that of his own....It becomes evident, doesn’t it that the one whose will is of his own is threatened greatly by GOODNESS? It therefore leads to the need of (evil) destruction of the goodness or that one which represents such. Thus MURDER is born. It is better, of course, if the evil one can cause the one of goodness to acquiesce in total submission and give through total abandonment of goodness into the hands of evil.”
“I think your psychiatrists might label this type of behavior of self-demand, narcissism (defined as, 1. Excessive admiration for or fascination with oneself. 2. Psychoanal. Erotic interest in one’s own body.) It is not strong enough a term for evil so let us call evil a disease of cancerous, or malignant, narcissism. Your church authorities have generally considered PRIDE first among the “sins”. “Pride goeth before the fall,” and so it is. Pride is actually the same as cancerous narcissism, but I want you to realize I can also speak your “hidden” languages.” (End Quote).So if one is “proud,” defined as: “1. Actuated by; possessing, or manifesting “pride”; arrogant; also self-respecting. 2. Sense of honor and personal elation; generally followed by or by a verb in the infinitive,” one is either fooling himself by “false” feelings of superiority over another or others, or he is simply being “self” respecting by validating a worthy achievement of his own or of another. Since one can also be “proud” of another’s achievement or action, this “pride” in another many times is simply the judgment that the action accomplished by the other is one which THEY themselves would be proud to accomplish as well. It is supporting one’s OWN conviction of Truth, whether it truly be Truth or not.
For example, many parents believe that when their children are sent off to WAR ostensibly for protecting and defending “their country”, that even though war involves the murder of others, they (the parents) must feel “proud” of their sons for doing “their” duty for their country. Now are they truly proud or are they simply hiding behind their own “false” pride because they are terrified that their child may die, and if that were to happen “for no good honorable reason” they could not forgive themselves for being “wrong” and supporting their sons in the lie of War? Do you see? At some level the “false” prideful one KNOWS he is wrong but is afraid to face the perceived consequences of being discovered as mistaken, uninformed or ignorant. He would rather hide behind the superiority feelings of “false” pride than live with the consequences of believing and supporting a “lie” which could cause the “death” or “dishonor” of his child and make him “wrong” in his belief as well.
When ones are continually molded as to what “popular” opinion must be, though not based on the facts, they become powerless puppets of evil. They no longer are able to “reason” for themselves because they have become apathetic and lazy and would prefer to “believe” all they are told from those they perceive are “in the know”. Thinking for themselves is an effort they choose not to take precious time from their television sports and soap operas to accomplish. They watch their TV and take every opinion at face value by the human images presented to them who continually form and reinforce what “their” opinions must be. They adopt these “opinions” as their own, and will fight “tooth and nail” any who oppose “their” view. This control of their minds is known at deep soul level, and the soul is in agony from this deception. “False” pride can only be released when one is pried from his TRANCE of “believing” and seeks to KNOW the Truth and no longer fears, because he feels helpless and powerless, the consequences of his personal responsibility, which KNOWING Truth acknowledges and accepts.
So when you say to yourself or another, “I am proud of this job well done,” or “I am proud of you for a job well done” are you hiding behind the lie of a “false” belief and self-righteous superiority? Or are you acknowledging honest “pride” of self-worth and accomplishment of a truly worthy deed or action? You each must learn to KNOW the difference, otherwise you will continually perpetuate an “illusion” of truth and create for yourself the “victimhood” which you allow to manifest because of your own “stubborn” ignorance.
Such is the case with the TRUTH which our brother, Hatonn, is bringing to you in THE PHOENIX JOURNALS. Many can’t “believe” that this much Evil has permeated your world and exists now right before your very eyes. WE are NOT asking you to blindly BELIEVE these truths about your circumstances set forth. We are “waving a warning flag” and asking you to read carefully and reason within YOURSELVES with the gifts of reasoning intelligence given you, WITH GOD WITHIN YOU, so that YOU can get off your “Couch Potato” assets and find the “proof”. You need TO KNOW the Truth WITHIN YOU and then TAKE BACK YOUR GOD-GIVEN POWER AND DO SOMETHING TO CHANGE that which you find reprehensible AND against God. We are simply presenting the facts to you as our service to God, for HE promised that in the End/Beginning Time Cycle, THE WORD OF TRUTH WOULD GO FORTH to all who have ears to hear and eyes to see and it is going forth. And if you are “prideful” and think yourself so intelligent, wise and ALL-knowing (ALL-believing) that YOU could not be duped, because in your “opinion” space aliens don’t exist and YOUR government couldn’t be involved in an evil conspiracy, or this...or that...then you are a fool and tool for the Anti-Christ, and may OUR FATHER GOD/ATON have mercy upon you!
It is best to truly understand that it is the nature of your “illusion” that most everyone is exposed to and wrapped within someone else’s “false” illusion of truth. If you wisely learn and understand the logic behind the “Cosmic” Laws of Balance given of God and The Creation, you will unwrap these “false” illusions and claim your true “God” power and connection. So too will you each learn to reason out the Truth within you and as ye ask for the Truth and Wisdom of God and Creation to be given you in all circumstances set before you, so shall you receive and claim the proof and the understanding as TRUE KNOWLEDGE within you, and not as BELIEF in what is the “opinion” of another.
2. AVARICE
Avarice is basically another term for GREED, defined as: “Selfish and grasping desire for possession especially of wealth; avarice; covetousness.” Now one who is GREEDY or filled with AVARICE is then possessed with feelings of EXCESSIVE eagerness for acquisition or gain of some form of material object or wealth. They, therefore, are selfishly and excessively covetous and desirous of GAINING something, not because they need it, but because they must have it to BE worthy, or be a winner, OR ACHIEVE “superior” status in their “image” of what is worthy, what is a “winner” and what is “superior” status. It is the selfish covetousness of desiring MORE than one really needs of some material object, and in this time upon your placement, it is usually MORE money. One who is, therefore, possessed by his excessive greed will have many unfulfilled physical desires and will thus wish to fulfill them at whatever “cost” (physically or emotionally) to another or even self the acquiring of same, may be.
The seeds of greed are usually planted by at first the overwhelming feelings of “self-failure” for not “measuring up” to the “images” of success and winning which are constantly promoted within your various forms of MEDIA. It then becomes a feeling of “deserving” something without having done anything, or putting in the least amount of effort personally to earn or create same. It is this desire created by your Media programming that one can receive “something for nothing” through what is called “good luck” which again implies that it is random LUCK and NOT personal power and responsibility which allows you to create that which you need. It also often means ones refuse to take personal responsibility for creating their own perceived “lack” or “loss” of material goods. It is in this time frame of your history which greed is blatantly and expressly created, encouraged and nurtured primarily by those within your Justice system. Many ones who have become frustrated at perceiving themselves as the “have-nots” of society and who have also become the “victims” of their own lack of self-worth, are the easy prey of the attorneys who promote greed and no self-responsibility. It is no accident, dear ones, that your “Western” society has become the most litigious, meaning: “Inclined to engage in a lawsuit against another because of real or perceived damages to self,” in your entire world. Your system of true justice is nearly gone, and those who nearly always benefit in every case are the attorneys from ALL sides of a lawsuit. It is through this now created system of INjustice that lying, cheating and stealing from others is par for the course and expected behavior for ones who wish to “win” EVEN if it involves the total financial and physical ruin of the one/ones being sued.
How do you KNOW what YOUR true intent is when you consider suing another? You will first need to recognize what is your true MOTIVATION in your desire to sue. Have you truly been, whether it be unintentional or intentional, damaged? Have you recognized that YOU too have participated in the creation of this experience? You must confer with self and GOD within to determine WHY you chose the experience and what must be accomplished or learned by you in making your decision to enter litigation with another. If you KNOW that another has wronged you because of their own greed and selfish disregard for your feelings or property, then you, upon conferring with GOD within, may decide to restore to balance the WRONG committed willfully against you. With the true integrity of your intent firmly established within, then GOD will ASSIST to bring you the JUSTICE which you deserve and have earned. Do you need to lie to assist GOD? Not at all, if you have truly been intentionally wronged, THE FACTS WILL STAND ON THEIR OWN MERIT OF THE EVIL PERPETRATED AGAINST YOU. There are still a handful of attorneys who truly desire to serve their brothers and intelligently utilize the “system” to bring justice when THEY know it is merited. YOU must trust GOD to bring you the assistance which you need to bring the balance of justice which you have earned.
Sadly enough, on the other side of the “coin” there are actually MANY ones who find themselves truly “the innocent victims” of being sued, will discover that, EVEN though they KNOW they have been willfully wronged and falsely accused, it is “cheaper” both financially and emotionally “to settle” with the accuser, than FIGHT for the justice they deserve. They, the lawyers and judges trained and controlled through your ABA (American Bar Association) have created these tidy little shortcuts for you, friends. They call it a “business” decision to allow the least amount of “loss” to the accused. Well, of course the attorneys on both sides are PAID in full, the one wrongfully suing WINS, and the wronged one pays, one way or another. It is set up this way. It saves time for the attorney, he gets a tidy sum and he “saves” his client money. RIGHT? WRONG! The accused finds himself “guilty” of something he is not and his only other “choice” is financial and emotional devastation by continuing his case which could go on FOR YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS! Integrity? TRUTH? We are sorry, dear ones, only WINNING (stealing) material assets at the expense of another, and striving to save self from excessive loss of such assets are the criterion for the LITIGATION game as set up by the ANTI-Christ.
Do you see that it is this idea that ones adopt, that they must be perceived as a WINNER in the “eyes” of your society, and they are encouraged to do so by WHATEVER MEANS at their disposal with total disregard for honesty, integrity and personal responsibility. Winning is the GOAL, and it is defined in a way through “competitive” molding that one must always strive to WIN at all costs because the only other choice is being a LOSER which is now defined as really being a WORTHLESS human being!
Dear ones, in God’s Kingdom, there exist ONLY WINNERS as each contains a fragment of the DIVINE PERFECTION OF GOD CREATOR/CREATION. Remember, you are not in competition with ANY other fragment, for each has unique and individual abilities and talents given of OUR FATHER. None is more or less in reflection of importance unto GOD/ATON. Each has unique creative potential for expanding the awareness and beauty of the constant unfoldment of GOD AND THE CREATION. You must recognize that when you feel “competitive” against another, that which is behind the illusion of “competition” is that you fear being unworthy in COMPARISON to the abilities of another. How can you COMPARE one expression of GOD with another? ALL expressions add to the unfolding discovery of THE ONE DIVINE SELF!
We would now like to discuss an activity which you ones call “gambling”. Gambling as defined in your dictionary, “1. To RISK or bet something of value on the outcome of a game of chance, etc. 2. To take a risk to obtain a result.” We, your brothers of God’s Cosmic Council, would like to point out to you, that for many of you, the biggest and most adventurous RISK or gamble you make is when you choose to experience within “the veil of forgetting” here on 3rd dimensional Earth Plane. All other risks you may take in physical form PALE considerably next to this one, when you truly understand that you “risk” your soul becoming lost in the eternity of the “illusion” of matter, and thus also you risk the spiritual freedom and SALVATION of your soul when you choose to experience here. What is the “gain” you are gambling for? The challenge of the opportunity through manifested experience to conquer and RISE above the “illusion” you have created of what is GOD and what is ANTI-GOD or “Adversary” to gain true unlimited GOD POWER and WISDOM. You have the challenge to SELF and to THE ONE ALL THAT IS of incarnating without memory of your DIVINITY and CONNECTION with GOD WITHIN YOU. You live in the “illusion” of separation to journey again unto the discovery of the GLORY of your SOUL connection to THE DIVINE HOLY ONE ALL THAT IS...CREATOR/CREATION.
You must know, dear ones, that GOD/ATON AND THE ENTIRE COSMIC LIGHTED BROTHERHOOD REJOICES when ONE of HIS OWN finds his way back HOME, through the muck and mire of “illusion”, to HIS FOLD OF ONENESS WITH ALL THAT IS!! This means, dear ones, that through the desire to KNOW self comes the recognition of GOD, then the recognition of UNITY with all, and then when the recognition of the FOLLY of ANTI-Christ is understood, then you can RECLAIM YOUR GOD-POWER and the Anti-Christ no longer can seduce and take away from you THE TRUTH OF YOUR CONNECTION WITH GOD AND YOUR DIVINITY WITHIN. You have reclaimed YOURSELF as THE SPARK OF GODNESS which YOU ARE and always have BEEN! OH, WHAT JOY THERE IS IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD!!
So all you “gamblers” out there may by now be wondering about whether it be “right” or “wrong” in God’s Kingdom to gamble your physical assets, such as money, for the opportunity of higher gain. What be your motivation, dear one? Is it the fun of challenge to self of the playing of the game? Is it desire to Win? Is it desire to Lose? Is it greed or desire for MORE than you need of physical assets which motivates you? Is it desire for “status” or recognition among your peers you seek? You see, gambling or taking risk, in itself is not “right” or “wrong”; it is the motivation and true intent of the one who gambles or takes a risk which defines the “rightness” or “wrongness” of the activity. And true intent can only be KNOWN by GOD within EACH one. We would say that every move or decision you make, whether it be in your relationships, in your business, home or whatever, is in essence a “gamble”, since you can only weigh the outcome of gain upon what is your TRUE INTENT AND DESIRE within the choice or decision. Every choice is a “risk” if you do not KNOW what it is you truly desire to create.
If you are fulfilled by the fun and challenge to self of simply playing the game and it does not become obsessive need to win or lose, then enjoy yourself. If you truly learn to monitor the intent of WHY you play the game of risk whether it be business or horse-racing, then you will also learn how to monitor and balance the level of success you need to manifest, to keep in the playing, against the degree of “losses” which you can “afford”.
