The Sequential Approach

We must recognize that causes we find for things and events, in reality, become what defines the limits of our intelligence. For example, let's imagine a person walking in front of us, holding a bag that contains eggs. Let's imagine another person walking in the opposite direction; let's imagine this person becoming distracted by a street musician and bumping into the person holding the bag full of eggs. Let's imagine that this one lets the bag fall. The question here will be to find out who broke the eggs. If we add on this fact the idea that the distracted walker did not touch the bag or the hands of the person holding the eggs, our definition of the responsibilities can only become an arbitrary approach to the human thought. The causes we want to consider become the ones we will impose on our consciousness and the consciousness of our surroundings. After we have chosen the causes to which we are more sensitive, we become the advocate of the dimensions of the world that we have perceived, and we will use all of our talent to convince the world that this portion of the world that we have observed is what exists.
Maybe this is why no species perceives its own degeneration. Every time we advance on the path of self-destruction, we lock ourselves in logics that make our arbitrary choices the only acceptable decisions. There are many examples that scream the philosophical and spiritual contradictions that end up placing the individual in the position of intellectual and spiritual apathy. We have noticed war among groups that consider themselves on the Divine Path; we've noticed pain that is caused by people to their loved ones… etc., and all of this become situations where we find good excuses for evil acts that we lay.
In the Earth Center, we teach the students to recognize that the original human wish is to approach the Divine domain. Yes, we all want to be accepted in the World of the Gods. To succeed in entering that domain, we must first succeed as a neophyte to not become a threat to the Divine domain. It is practically impossible to place a pure being and a corrupt being in the same space. Our problem is that the human being does not even need an outside world to corrupt him. The nature has placed seeds of corruption in us that we must combat. How many times have our emotions stopped us from thinking clearly and behaving in a noble manner? How many times have our emotions placed our intellectual capabilities at their service? I mean, how many times did we use our intellectual and moral talent to defend choices that we have made based on emotions?
We remember that on the 19th day of the month of Tehuti, when humanity solemnly swore to work on elevating ourselves on the Divine level, the God Wsr (Osiris) pointed his finger on the fact that corruption will be the greatest obstacle on our path. The path towards purity and the elevation of our spiritual level does not even make the society the first source of our corruption. The evolution of every species on this Earth, in reality, advances in a direction that is contrary to the one suggested by Darwin. The goal of the evolution is simplicity. Even now, we use all of our ingeniousity just with a goal of simplifying things. We are trying to find ways to accomplish the same act while using as little of our brain as possible… this is called degeneration. This degeneration has become the proof of our intelligence that we are glorifying.
These observations lead us to the troubling idea that maybe every species has started like us before they ended the way that they are today. Maybe at one time in their existence, sheep, dogs, monkeys, etc., have built computers and rockets with the goal of reaching the moon. We think that these animals are inferior, but in a bizarre way, we are not succeeding to convince them of their inferiority.
These are the doors that a sequential view open. The nature only exposes itself to our way of questioning; it then becomes important that our method of investigation does not become what conditions us to self-destruction. This is why the original Commandments (the 77 Commandments) are considering some behaviors that we consider normal as insane and sinful. For the human being to approach a Divine World, he must rise to the level that is acceptable by the Divine World, and this has nothing to do with values that modern religions are marketing to the lost souls.
Emotions do not think; there is practically no enlightenment that comes from what we feel or what we believe. Enlightenment through emotions is nothing but a field of sensations born from arbitrary choices. The spiritual development only challenges our ability to develop our brain, our ability to think and to look for the succession of causes that affect the becoming of what exists.
