MOTION

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, that on the within affidavit of ALLAN CRONSHAW JR., affirmed and witnessed to on the 21^st day of June, 2004, and upon all the proceedings heretofore had herein, the undersigned Motion and Supporting Affidavit to Dismiss will move this court at the courthouse located at 16 Cooper Street, Hempstead, New York, on the 16^th day of July, 2004, at 9:30 o’clock in the forenoon of that day or as soon thereafter as can be heard for an Order of Dismissal of the within Summons of No Seat Belts.

The law requiring the wearing of a seat belt is UnConstitutional because (1) it does not contain a religious exemption; (2) requires people to live in accord with the quasi-religious doctrines of Secular-Humanism which is based upon an anti-Biblical Darwinist philosophy and mindset that inhibits the free exercise of faith-based and religions of an evolved spiritual nature; (3) forcing the defendant into a state-sanctioned role where he must observe and put into practice these quasi-religious practices instituted and enforced by government, the tenets of which he totally rejects; (4) and as a hostile non-believer, the state requires the defendant to adhere to a anti-Biblical mindset and Atheistically based quasi-religious philosophy that has not only been proven counterfeit by modern science, but requires the denial of fundamental religious spiritual beliefs, knowledge and the rejection of the Will of God.

QUESTION OF LAW: The question of law that has been set before this court by virtue of this motion and any and all hearings that may proceed in this matter, has already been ruled upon in Fowler vs. Rhode Island when the Court found that it is "no business of the courts...” or for any secular authority, "to say what is a religious practice or activity...” (Fowler vs. Rhode Island 345 U.S. 67 [1953]).

Black's Law Dictionary defines Religious Freedom as: "Within Constitution embraces not only the right to worship GOD according to the dictates of one's conscience, but also the right to do, or forbearing of which is not inimical to the peace, good order, and morals of society."

So the ONLY question set before this court must be limited to whether my refusal to wear a seat belt is “inimical to the peace, good order, and morals of society”, and whether the practice of my religion which rejects the competing religion of Secular-Humanism -- a quasi-religious manner of thinking which is founded upon a mindset and Atheist philosophy that rejects the Biblical teaching on Divine Providence, and therefore requires the wearing of a seatbelt -- will bring harm to a person in another car in the event of a collision.

It is a rejection of Constitutional First Principles that the state has cast itself in the role of Big Brother, who is looking out for my well-being. Based upon the right of religious objection, it is already a matter of settled law that the state cannot impose restrictions by virtue of a theoretical concern for my physical well being; and this is demonstrated in the fact that I have the right to reject medical attention, blood, and even immunizations for both my children and myself. In Allanson v. Clinton Central School District (84-CV-174) which was brought on because the Allanson family refused on religious grounds to inoculate their children, Judge Roger J. Miner of the Northern District of New York stated: "The resolution of that question is not to turn upon a judicial perception of the particular beliefs or practice in question; religious beliefs need not be acceptable, logical, consistent, or comprehensible to others in order to merit First Amendment protection". In the above matter, the New York State immunization law had already been declared unconstitutional because it did not contain a religious exemption, and Judge Miner declared the New York law further unconstitutional because it failed to contain a personal religious exemption -- i.e., requiring a note from a clergy. And while I am an Ordained Clergy and leader of the world-wide Ebionite Nazirene Restoration Movement (see http://Ebionite.com ), the question at law has already been settled in Thomas v Review Board 450 U.S. 707, (1981), where Chief Justice Burger admonished: "Courts should not undertake to dissect religious beliefs... One can, of course, imagine an asserted claim so bazaar so clearly non-religious in motivation, as not to be entitled to protection under the free exercise clause: but that is not the case here, and the guarantee of free exercise is not limited to beliefs which are shared by all members of a religious sect. The courts are not arbiters of scriptural interpretation…. The essence of law that has been set and written on the subject is that only those interests of the highest order... can overbalance legitimate claims to the free exercise of religion” (Thomas vs Review Board 450 US 707, 718 (1981) accord, Wisconsin vs. Yoder, 406 US 205, 215 [1972]; Sherbert vs Verner, 374 US 393, 406 [1963])

The present New York seat belt law is founded upon a Darwinist mindset, which has evolved into the tenets of a competing religious world-view known as Secular Humanism -- and as such constitutes the embodiment of a quasi-religious mindset that I not only do not ascribe to, but constitutes the forced practice of a religion that is not my own. For at its essence, all religion is a mindset and system of beliefs that are put into practice and acted upon. And in the same way that the U.S. Military has been forced to provide non-traditional clergy who are Pagan and who ascribe to a variety of other earth religions, the religion of Secular Humanism is founded upon the Darwinist theories and Atheistic mindset which attempts to explain competing and alternate doctrines of (religious) belief which are normally addressed through more traditional religious doctrines. Thus, the Court has already ruled that religion may be any "sincere and meaningful belief which occupies a place in the believer's life parallel to that filled by orthodox belief in God" (Welch vs. United States 398 U.S. 333 [1970]; United States vs. Seeger 380 U.S. 163, 166 [1965]. Secular Humanists are therefore sincere in their position that they can explain the tenets of a traditional belief in God and religion, from a purely natural perspective. And while Secular Humanism attempts to portray itself as being based upon scientific fact, I will demonstrate the counterfeit reality of this assertion -- with just the opposite being true in the absolute rejection of modern science.

Please Take Notice: Notice to attorney-general where constitutionality is an issue. When the constitutionality of a statute of the state is involved in an action to which the state is not a party, the court shall notify the attorney-general, who shall be permitted to intervene in support of its constitutionality. CPLR 1012 (b)

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, that defendant Allan Cronshaw is an Ordained Clergy of the World Wide Nazirene and Ebionite Restoration Movement (see http://Ebionite.com ), and thus lives in strict accord with Spiritual rather than philosophical religious beliefs and convictions.

PLEASE TAKE FUTHER NOTICE, that answering affidavits by the County Attorney are to be properly served upon the defendant at least 12 days prior to any hearings in this matter.

District Court - Nassau County, State Of New York

The People Of The State Of New York

ALLAN CRONSHAW JR., duly affirms, deposes and states, that I am the defendant in the above captioned action; I am fully familiar with the events and circumstances; and I make this affidavit in support of my Motion to dismiss the above summons.

Please Note: This Motion and Affidavit will be uploaded to the World Wide Web at the address http://Ebionite.com/seatbelt.htm -- and will have all links active to all supporting resources that will be made reference to in this affidavit.

1. That by way of Motion, the matter was set before the court raising the subject of the Constitutionality of the New York State seat belt on the grounds that it does not contain a religious exemption.

2. That notice was made that the New York seat belt law is founded upon the mindset and thinking associated with the religion of Secular Humanism which attempts to explain the tenets of traditional religion from a non-spiritual system of quasi-scientific beliefs -- and in effect is a total denial of the Biblical mindset associated with both traditional faith-based and spiritually evolved Mystical/Gnostic systems of religious belief.

3. In the body of the Motion, a comparison was made between the NYS seat belt law and the NYS immunization law that was twice found unconstitutional because it originally did not contain a religious exemption. Judge Roger J. Miner of the Northern District of New York in Allanson v. Clinton Central School District (84-CV-174) ruling that the law was again unconstitutional because it failed to contain a personal religious exemption when he wrote: "The resolution of that question is not to turn upon a judicial perception of the particular beliefs or practice in question; religious beliefs need not be acceptable, logical, consistent, or comprehensible to others in order to merit First Amendment protection".

4. So as presented in the body of the Motion, the ONLY question set before this court must be limited to whether my refusal to wear a seat belt is “inimical to the peace, good order, and morals of society”, and whether the practice of my religion which rejects the mindset and Atheist philosophy/theology that has evolved into Secular Humanism that requires the wearing of a seatbelt, will bring harm to a person in another car in the event of a collision.

5. If the prosecuting attorney cannot demonstrate that my not wearing a seat belt will be detrimental to a person driving another car, or a pedestrian, then the two summons before this court must be dismissed on First Amendment religious grounds.

6. While as an adult I have the right to reject medical attention and blood -- and the fact that in the case of a minor child court orders have been used to set aside the religious beliefs of the parents when it is demonstrated that death is immanent if immediate medical attention is not given -- the NYS seat belt law is proactive and very much in parallel to the NYS immunization law in that they are both attempting to promote an action which will avert harm to the child. The seat belt law -- like the immunization law which contains a religious exemption by virtue of judicial mandate -- is proactive, and cannot be viewed from the perspective that it averts an immanent threat, and therefore is UnConstitutional unless it contains a religious exemption when it is demonstrated that it is adverse to one’s religious beliefs or God-Centered Mindset.

7. FROM A BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE: The scriptures teach that all events that transpire in this world are the result of the Laws working in the life of man -- and this reality is clearly portrayed in the words: “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father” (Matt 10:29 NIV).

8. Which from a biblical perspective teaches that there is no such thing as an accident -- and that all things are brought about by the Will of God being impressed upon the Laws that control every aspect of life as we know it. And this reality of Divine Providence and Law is further presented in the article: Do We Have Free Will at http://nazirene.org/freewill.htm .

9. In the same way that immunization is a denial of a holistic God-Centered lifestyle -- and because of the conflict in a religious/spiritual mindset, from that of a secular mindset which ordains the need for these proactive protective measures to safeguard the people, the original law was declared UnConstitutional because it did not permit a religious exemption -- the same is true with respect to the seat belt law which denies the biblical teachings on Divine Providence, and promotes an Atheistic Secular Humanist perception of life.

10. Moreover, those who ardently believe -- and in my case Know that all events are the result of Divine Providence and Higher Spiritual Laws acting on the lives of individuals, the wearing of a seat belt is like praying to a secular god -- i.e., the practice of the religion of Secular Humanism -- and a denial of the Higher Spiritual Order of Life.

11. FROM A SCIENTIFIC PERSPECTIVE: Secular Humanism is founded upon the Darwinist Theory of Evolution that rejects all non-physical influence in the creation and evolution of this world -- attempting to demonstrate that this world is the result of accident and natural occurrences -- that there is no unseen forces at work that have molded and influenced this world -- and is reliant upon an outdated model of science that has long ago been dispelled as grave error -- but remains foundational to our modern culture because it is the holy grail of the Atheists. And while the First Amendment protection of religious beliefs is not contingent upon scientific proof or secular judicial reasoning, I will demonstrate using science the fallibility of the reasoning behind the present-day Secular Humanist mindset that rejects the wisdom of the Bible and other spiritual writings.

12. In the article on Science Proves Religion at http://messianic.nazirene.us/science_proves.htm , it is demonstrated that modern quantum physics has proven that the Darwinist vision of Creation is not only counterfeit, but actually is in reverse of man’s true reality, and that our modern educational systems, culture and laws fails to acknowledge these proven facts because they have exalted Darwin’s Theory of Evolution to the level of the holy grail of the Atheists and Secular Humanists who reject the Divine Order of the Universe.

13. Quoting the article on Science Proves Religion: Einstein experienced shock when he first came into contact with the new reality of atomic physics that was presented to him, and wrote in his autobiography: “All my attempts to adapt the theoretical foundation of physics to this [new type of] knowledge failed completely. It was as if the ground had been pulled out from under one, with no firm foundation to be seen anywhere, upon which one could have built”. In much the same fashion, the European physicist Niels Bohr stated that “…The great extension of our experience in recent years has brought to light the insufficiency of our simple mechanical conceptions and, as a consequence, has shaken the foundation on which the customary interpretation of observation was based.” These “…mechanical conceptions” make reference to Darwin and the Theory of Evolution which is opposite and in conflict with man’s true reality.

14. The Universe is a Great Mind: In his 1951 textbook on quantum theory, Bohm offered some interesting speculations on the analogies between quantum processes and thought processes, thus carrying further the celebrated statement made by the astronomer James Jeans two decades earlier: “Today there is a wide measure of agreement… that the stream of knowledge is heading towards a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine”; and the statement by astronomer Arthur Eddington: “The stuff of the universe is mind-stuff”. More recently, cyberneticist David Foster described “an intelligent universe” whose apparent concreteness is generated by cosmic data from an unknowable, organized source. The holographic reality says that: “…our brains mathematically construct hard reality by interpreting frequencies from a dimension transcending time and space. The brain is a hologram, interpreting a holographic universe.”

15. What is the impact of these findings of modern science? The reality that is being conveyed is that what we perceive as solid physical matter, is being interpreted in this manner because our brains interpret that frequency to make what we see appear concrete. Moreover, what it also means is that we perceive only a fraction of Creation because our brains, which by virtue of the fact of their physical nature, can only detect frequencies that are within the same (physical) spectrum. In the same way that in order to be effective, an antenna must possess the physical characteristics that enables it to receive a certain range of the frequencies that the device (radio, TV, wireless phone, etc.) is intended to operate within, our physical mind and bodies are designed to function within a certain spectrum of Creation -- and this is predicated by the fact that our physical nature is composed of the elements that are of this world.

16. In his Preface to Stalking The Wild Pendulum, by Itzhak Bentov, William A. Tiller, Materials Sciences Department, Stanford University writes: “The present scientific establishment has grown somewhat fossilized by its current world picture and is locked into a view of reality that has outlived its usefulness. It has begun to limit mankind’s growth and has so increased its sense of specialization, separateness, materiality, and mechanical computer-like functioning that it is in real danger of self-extermination”. Yet this fossilized science is still being promoted among our school children -- it remains as the founding principle upon which our culture is based -- it is being used to inhibit both religion and freedom in our present-day culture -- and has greatly limited the ability of man to function in his true multidimensional and spiritual reality. This mindset is also the theoretical foundation upon which the New York State seat belt law is based.

17. If a person believes in accidents in the manner they are taught by our Atheistic secular culture, then accidents will happen to them. Thus the words of scientist Itzhak Bentov: “The quantum theory asserts that there is no way one can measure some sets of things, like momentum and position, together very accurately... because the consciousness of the experimenter interacts with the experiment itself. Therefore, it becomes possible that the attitude of the experimenter must also influence the outcome of any particular experiment”.

18. These similarities were pointed out in the book, The Tao Of Physics, by Fritjof Capra, and The Dancing Wu Li Masters by Gary Zukav. Zukav’s book takes its title from the Chinese expression for physics, wu li, which he translates as “patterns of organic energy”, and writes: “Bell’s theorem not only suggests that the world is quite different than it seems, it demands it. Something very exciting is happening. Physicists have ‘proved’ rationally that our rational ideas about the world in which we live are profoundly deficient”.

19. Bell’s theorem, which was proposed in 1964 by J.S. Bell, a physicist working in Switzerland, was first confirmed experimentally in 1972. Physicist Henry Stapp, in a 1975 federal report called it the most “profound discovery of science”. Bell’s theorem succeeds in exhibiting the bizarre nature of the subatomic world. Experiments show that if paired particles which are identical twins in their polarity fly apart, and the polarity of one is changed by an experimenter, the polarity of the other particle changes instantaneously. Even though they appear to us as separate, the particles remain mysteriously connected regardless of the fact that there is no physical connection. The problem is that the mind of man in it’s natural organic state is simply incapable of perceiving the far-reaching ramifications of this great truth -- and even less prepared to comprehend the results of the intertwining connections that are maintained not only between individuals and groups of people, but also about their beliefs and what they have come to believe to be accidents because of counterfeit beliefs taught to them by our outdated Darwinist philosophy and mindset.

20. In his book, Urbausteine der Materie, physicist Walter Thirring wrote about matter that modern physics “…has put our thinking about the essence of matter in a different context. It has taken our gaze from the visible - the particles - to the underlying entity, the field. The presence of matter is merely a disturbance of the perfect state of the field at that place; something accidental, one could almost say, a ‘blemish’. Accordingly, there are no simple laws describing the forces between elementary particles… Order and symmetry must be sought in the underlying field.”

21. What the physicist is telling you is that your physical body that you observe in the mirror -- the physical form that you use to present yourself to the world around you -- is in fact caused by a disturbance in your own, personal field -- and it is this field that you do not see, that causes a blemish in this realm that we perceive through the eyes that has been formed out of this blemish. Again, if what we observe in this world as being concrete, is not really concrete, but merely a frequency that our brain interprets in a concrete manner, then we have the means to develop and evolve our mind in order to permit it to detect the full spectrum of frequencies that make up the totality of all of Creation. Can we do this? Both the Bible and the holy men and women of the past convey to us that an enlightened vision and understanding of life is not only possible, but it is our eventual destiny. Thus, the problem is seen in the fact that man’s true reality is neither addressed, acknowledged, or acted upon in any intelligent manner by our politically correct culture that controls the heartbeat of society today. Yet, from a more modern scientific perspective, the Darwinist perception of Creation amounts to little more than junk-science, while the findings of genuine science has become as a cult that is not even discussed in our modern educational systems. To the detriment of our own children, what we teach instead is secular dogma -- anti-religious secular dogma -- that has absolutely no basis in fact.

22. If we could but for a brief moment gaze at this world from the perspective of higher reality, what we would immediately realize is that what science is learning about Creation today was in fact elementary to the eyes and understanding of the Hebrew-Christian visionaries of the past. Thus, the great dilemma: It is one thing through scientific endeavor to become aware that these other dimensions exist, and become cognizant of the impact they have upon this world -- and still quite another to move in and out and explore these other realms of existence. Moreover, all these scientific theories that we have newly discovered today, is not new at all -- and have been well established in the scriptures and the writings of the prophets and visionaries since the dawn of time. How can this be, you will ask? Simple! If we are to even begin to come to terms with our own higher reality and purpose of life, it is absolutely important for us to recognize the fact that man does not need a technically advanced society in order to explore the realms of Higher Mind -- i.e., he only needs his mind -- then it will also be realized that our world of modern technology can in fact be detrimental to our own development, because it has the ability to greatly distract man in his search for the answers to Life. What this ultimately means is that the wisdom of the ancients could very well be superior to the modern philosophy that our universities teach today. In fact, if man could see the wonders of Creation clearly, he would quickly realize that the supposed conflict between science and religion is superficial, and is nothing more than the result of ignorance with regard to both the true nature of religion and scientific fact.

23. FROM A SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVE: When astronomer James Jeans proclaimed that: “Today there is a wide measure of agreement… that the stream of knowledge is heading towards a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine” -- we should have realized that the ancient men of wisdom did not need our modern-day technological advances to explore a universe that is a “great thought”, they only needed to understand the laws and conditions that limited their own minds from interacting with the Higher Intelligence that put the universe in place! It should be reasonable to every rationally minded person that the means by which we explore the “great thought” of Creation, is to use our own thought and mind as a vehicle in which to travel beyond this world of physical appearances.

24. The objective of Judaism and Christianity is to bring about spiritual transformation – and while the mainstream religious people who only embrace an elementary understanding of these teachings do not understand this objective, this has not been the case with respect to those who have walked the spiritual path of TheWay. The true spiritual Hebrew and Christian visionaries of the past have always acknowledged the validity of the objects that appear to our senses as being of a physical nature -- i.e., no one is denying that what we perceive with our physical eyes as being concrete to the senses does indeed exist -- but they also assert that there is a good deal more than what we see -- and modern science has progressed to the degree where it can now affirm this universal religious position. In the words of Einstein: “We may therefore regard matter as being constituted by the regions of space in which the field is extremely intense… There is no place in this new kind of physics both for the field and matter, for the field is the only reality” (quoted in M. Capek, The Philosophical Impact of Contemporary Physics).

25. In his Preface to Stalking The Wild Pendulum by Itzhak Bentov, William A. Tiller, Materials Sciences Department, Stanford University writes: “The present scientific establishment has grown somewhat fossilized by its current world picture and is locked into a view of reality that has outlived its usefulness. It has begun to limit mankind’s growth and has so increased its sense of specialization, separateness, materiality, and mechanical computer-like functioning that it is in real danger of self-extermination”. Yet this fossilized science is still being promoted among our school children -- it is the basis upon which the thinking of the NYS seat belt law is built upon -- it remains as the founding principle upon which our culture is based -- it is being used to inhibit both religion and freedom in our present-day culture -- and has greatly limited the ability of man to function in his true multidimensional and spiritual reality.

26. From a Biblical perspective, the teachings in the scriptures are twofold – i.e., there is what is called the teachings of the simple faith which is an entry-level doctrine for the masses, and there is the Mysteries of God that can only be revealed to those who have undergone the process of spiritual transformation. In his Epistles, Paul tells of visiting these non-physical realms when he writes about his experiences: “…Fourteen years ago I was taken up to heaven for a visit. Don't ask me whether my body was there or just my spirit, for I don't know; only God can answer that. But anyway, there I was in paradise, and heard things so astounding that they are beyond a man's power to describe or put in words (and anyway I am not allowed to tell them to others)” (2 Cor 12:1-4 TLB).

27. These dimensions and realms that the modern scientist portrays as the field because of it’s non-physical nature -- i.e., “…There is no place in this new kind of physics both for the field and matter, for the field is the only reality” -- is the natural habitat of the mystic and spiritual man/woman whose source of enlightenment and higher vision is founded in these parallel realms and dimensions that are the source of all events that transpire in this world -- i.e., and this is correctly portrayed in the words of physicist Walter Thirring who wrote about matter that modern physics “…has put our thinking about the essence of matter in a different context. It has taken our gaze from the visible - the particles - to the underlying entity, the field. The presence of matter is merely a disturbance of the perfect state of the field at that place; something accidental, one could almost say, a ‘blemish’. Accordingly, there are no simple laws describing the forces between elementary particles… Order and symmetry must be sought in the underlying field.”

28. In the New Testament Jesus teaches the necessity of attaining to the next stage of birth -- stating that without this second birth, you cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven (see http://mystic.nazirene.org/fetus.htm ). The problem arose when the spiritual teachings of Jesus became outlawed by the 4th century Pagan Rome Emperor Constantine (see http://ebionite.com/prologue.htm ). Thus, the spiritual was suppressed and only the teachings of the entry-level simple faith survived. But Paul's doctrine of faith over works of the Law must be understood in relation to the Kingdom within (see http://ebionite.com/index.htm#paul ). Unbeknown to the vast majority of Christians today, the faith of Paul was based upon the spiritual reality of an Inner Kingdom -- and the revelation that if a person lived a consecrated life -- with a mind unshackled by the doctrines of men -- open to the higher impressions of the Spirit that teaches and enlightens the most faithful of genuine seekers of the Light and TheWay -- that the inner door to these parallel realms which are the source of all that exists in this world -- non-physical realms which are the true source of all that exists in this physical world -- and have now been detected by the modern scientist -- is the very essence of the faith that Paul speaks of with respect to opening the inner door of the mind to the Kingdom of God. Thus, modern Christians who possess only the entry-level teachings of the simple faith, fail to understand why Paul commanded to "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature" (Col 3:5 NIV). They have no understanding of why Paul said it was necessary for Christians to "…take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ" (2 Cor 10:5 NIV). Why Paul said to "Pray without ceasing" (1Thes 5:17 KJV). Why James taught the need to "…bridle the whole body" (James 3:2 KJV). To the degree that Paul said to "…beat my body and make it my slave..." (1 Cor 9:27 NIV). And the requirement set forth by Jesus was that each Christian would be held accountable for every single word they speak: "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment" (Matt 12:36 KJV).

29. SEAT BELT IS DENIAL OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE: As someone who has over the course of the last 30 years intimately embraced the spiritual teachings of Jesus and TheWay, I have been able to access the inner Kingdom and learn directly from the Source of all Knowledge and Revelation. And in the same way that the disciple of TheWay is Commanded to "…take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ" (2 Cor 10:5 NIV), in order to bring about the necessary spiritual transformation to do as is described in the Bible and enter these causal non-physical realms, every action must be in accord with this higher reality that can only be revealed to the most faithful of seekers. To put on a seat belt and surrender to the thinking of those who are of a Darwinist mindset, is a denial of this inner higher reality -- and it would be paramount to worshiping a false god of this world. Why? Because every thought must connect to man’s inner reality which is portrayed as the field by the scientist and the Kingdom within by Jesus, which means that the concept of an accident is a denial of this inner reality. In fact, what unenlightened men perceive as accidents, are not only brought about by causal elements in the non-physical field that surrounds all matter, but could be avoided if the people were able to perceive the underlying causes.

30. Because the people in our modern culture are slaves to the secularism that shackles them to spiritually disenfranchised lives -- lives which imprison the people in the dungeons of ignorance and hellish darkness of lives of unknowing in exile from the higher reality within us -- we grope blindly in the outer world for the answers to life that can only be revealed to us by pealing away the inner layers of consciousness and opening the door to the inner realities and the True Temple of the Lord that exists at the very Core of our Being. And the faith that Paul speaks of as being absolutely necessary to salvation, is the faith that motivates us to break free of the shackles of the secularism and philosophical sectarian ignorance of the culture of this world, and release ourselves from the dungeons of darkness that imprison us and chain us to the outer reaches of consciousness. Once the reality of the inner Kingdom (seehttp://GateOfEden.com ) is understood -- truly understood with the fervor and passion of one who has for a long time scaled the dunes of a seemingly endless desert in search of water to quench their parched dry body -- then, and only then does the realization begin to dawn within us that we are the only obstacle to freedom and happiness -- and we only have to make the body-vessel a fit dwelling place for an open and balanced mind, in order bridge the gulf between the inner non-physical and outer material world, and in singleness of mind and being permit the Kingdom to come within us and fulfill the ultimate prophesy and revelation of the biblical promise. "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it" (Matt 13:44-46 NKJ). The Kingdom of God being within us, is indeed the treasure that is hidden in the field of our body/mind. And the Kingdom can only be found by those who are "...seeking beautiful pearls" and are prepared to sell all that they have (secular-cultural mindset) in this world in order to acquire it.

31. One only has to open the pages of the Bible to see that the whole of the New Testament teachings is concerned with ethics, morality, and the manner in which each of us treats our brothers and sisters. The requirement is that we must be perfect, as our Heavenly Father is perfect (Mt 5:48). This state of perfection is referred to as the fulfillment of the Royal Law of God, and is measured in our forgiveness, acceptance and love of our fellow man. From a New Covenant perspective, whatever is divisive, and not in accord with the Royal Law, is of this world, and is an obstacle to our birth into the Kingdom. It is from this perspective that the requirement in the Book of the Revelation is set before us in the words: "Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful" (Rev 21:27 NIV). This same truth was expressed by Isaiah where it is written: "And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not journey on it; it will be for those who walk in that Way; wicked fools will not go about on it" (Isa 35:8 NIV). And this same truth is expressed in the words of Jesus when he warned: "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it" (Matt 7:13-14 NIV). The "narrow gate" that Jesus speaks that we must open in order for us to be born into the Kingdom, has its parallels in the birth canal that serves as the gate that each of us has emerged through when we physically entered into this present world. That the next stage of birth has its similarities, is merely the result that all realities are designed in accordance with the same Divine Pattern of Creation.

32. In fully comprehending these biblical statements in relation to the whole purpose of the teachings of The Way, let us again examine the definitive statement which conveys to us the very essence of the Gospel -- and especially the Revelation of John: "Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie" (Rev 22:14-15 NKJ).

33. If the text of the Revelation represented the end of the world, as is commonly believed by the majority of Christians today, then why are those who remain outside the city portrayed as "dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie"? Armageddon, then, indicates the disciples personal tribulation described as the "pangs of birth", as he endeavors to overcome his own lower carnal nature through the crucifixion of what is symbolized by the flesh, in order that he can possess the Knowledge of the fruit of the Tree of Life, transcend the natural barriers of this world, and "enter through the gates into the city".

34. What natural man calls accidents, is caused by conditions which exist in the field which is the source of the physical world.
