In an abundant universe, there is no need to go without. There is no need to make Effort to right social wrongs. There is no infringement of rights or creation of victims. The universe of scarcity is purely a construct of the Ego, used by it to keep itself in control of the true Divine spark in you.

There will be many false prophets before our Lord gives our world peace.
Time will tell if you are a man of Christ the Lord in Heaven.
I will leave you with a verse we sang on mission trips when things got scary.
It is: They will know we are Christians by our Love by our Love.
They will know we are Christians by our Love.
Love is the greatest of the gifts from God.
With Love from the Father and His Peace I leave with you.

I agree with you my friend, that these rights are endowed by our Creator. However, not everyone believes in a creator. Therefore, I made this declaration as generic as possible for it is to the reader. I have already declared my own independence, and live free of the State. This is my right by God, and my own free will.
It was not an intentional omission, except insofar as I deemed the phrase superfluous. No one has a mandate to compel "service to man", so your self-exoneration is already complete. I do find it interesting, however, that you felt the need to highlight the lack of that phrase in my rebuttal. And your echo-like reframing of my words, after I have explicated yours. (I am beginning to think, in this thread. Before, it was the thing about a pit. Egos react. Observers act.)

I am beginning to think you are a member of the mainstream press the way you quote out of context and omit key phrases which contribute to the meaning of a thought. What you left out was "as we see fit", meaning that it is up to the individual to decide what contributions he is willing to make to society.
True, but his "decision" has > impact on reality, or even on his personal experience. I mean, look at Stephen Hawking! If there ever was a man who God tried to shut up, and still give him a chance to keep living and see the light, it's him. He is the atheists' "Don't let this happen to you" poster child.

Every man has the right by their Creator to decide if there is one or not.
actually, a man who believes in no creator is insane by international law, and this individual becomes a ward of the local presiding lawful authority. Why? Because he is belligerently unable to learn to comport himself as a son of the one true living god, if he disbelieves in the existence of same. Fortunately for atheists, there is no remaining lawful authority that operates a court system in the G7 nations (which is where most atheists come from). It's all legal up here in the rarified air. Otherwise the atheists would be in an insane asylum.
His existence is not dependant on a mans belief in him, nor is a man's rights dependant on that belief.
And here you go off the rez. A man cannot, by his own authority, endow himself with ANY rights. Just think of it... What if I decided I had the right to traffick in coc aine for profit? Do you really think that the Universe would back me up on that? Hmm?
Thus, a Man has his rights endowed by his creator or by himself, wither way they are natural and self evident.
Very un-clever of you to trot out your ignorance and display it like that. All the more reason you should refrain from teaching anyone. A man becomes a slave in today's modern world by consenting to be governed by a for-profit corporation masquerading as a 'government'. I won't tell you any more than that, because I don't want to get into trouble. Enlightening the willingly unknowledgeable is unlawful, and I could get a spanking from the universe for it.

My friend, are you so lost to freedom that you no longer can tell the difference between an imprisoned free man, and a slave on the plantation?
Death is always an option, but it's not the 'price' for anything. To imply death is the price for freedom is to insinuate that the Creator does not want us to have freedom in this lifetime, which I have found to be false. Death is a natural part of this simulation, and by embracing my lot in life, I also embrace my lot insofar as the time of my demise. I don't believe in all this self-determination crap, remember? My freedom lies in the absolutely trusting relationship I have with the Creator, in which It is free to take me home at a moment's notice, or let me suffer in bed with a fever, or flood my house. You can't imagine this kind of freedom if you don't have it, and if you don't have it YOU ARE A SLAVE, no matter whether you're a crime kingpin or a magistrate or a garbage eater in Sri Lanka. (the garbage eaters have a much higher chance of being free, though)
Do you reckon death too high a price for freedom?
What's really sad is that you interpreted my calling-out and calling to account for the hope that you claim to hold, as mockery. Tsk, tsk, tsk. You're no guru. You should wear a sign saying "Keep away! Hyperinflated spiritual ego on board!"
Then you know not of eternity and the ever enduring strength of the soul, a soul which is Sovereign and eternal. You may mock my declaration if you will, but you mock it from your own shackled condition, and a state of cowardice.
As always, I am more interested in the thoughts of the onlookers to my conversations with such as you, than trying to infuence your own way. Remember, for me the rule is "Sweet dreams are made of this:" who am I to disagree?. Far be it from me to try to dissuade you from digging a pit for yourself and your followers. I merely call attention to it, and you (fail to) justify it.
That is not a position worthy of inspiring any change of course in my mind.
For while you may relax in the comfort provided you by your nanny state, sacrificing freedom for your own security, even sacrificing the freedom of your own fellow Brothers and Sisters for that security, I am a Free Man, a King of my own free Will, and it comes at the sacrifice of my own comforts, which I willing make. For where the soul of a coward takes comfort to deny others their freedom, I stand proudly and declare, give me liberty or give me death.

Look inside yourself. What do you see? Do you really, really think that could have come from random chance and acidic goo? Really? I'm shaking my head in disbelief at the extent to which the Ego will construct fantasies in order to remain in the victim position.
Who can blame a man (Stephen Hawking) for rejecting God when the definition has been so distorted over the years to one of false idols.
That's disingenuous. You have created a strawman (or rather, chosen one from history), and set it up as the only available concept of the Prime Cause. Psh.
God is a concept beyond human comprehension or definition. What Atheists reject is Man's weak attempts to define a being they cannot understand. By the rejecting of these false idols, most Atheists are more devout than those who follow such false ideals of the creator.
Who dares to know the will of God to put such standards of comport on anyone?
Only one being in creation has dared such authority and it goes by many names, universally it is known as the great deceiver.
In matters of authority, the laws of man are secondary. If I declare myself to have a right that I actually DO have, the universe will move to keep me from harm in exercising that right, provided I am in right relationship to the Creator (unconditional trust and love). I have had this demonstrated to me in my waking life, and in dreams. I have had police forget their 'duty' as a code enforcement officer and only relate to me in the manner of a peace officer, when it was clear that I was violating statutory law. This was done by the Creator to confirm to me that I am Its son.
The universe would not blink one iota over such action. The stars will still shine, the earth will still rotate, and the sun will continue to shed its light. The Laws of Man, on the other hand, may have something to say on the matter
Earlier you implied that slavehood is a thing of the plantations. Would you like hot maple syrup with that waffle?
Any government except for self government makes one a slave.
You don't go handing chainsaws to 8-year-olds and expect no repercussions.
No worries about your Universal spanking, I am quite capable of enlightening myself, just as every man is.
Let me ask you a question: Why is it that you lone prophets are all daft? Why is it that you flail and fight and create straw men to knock down? Is it because without an "opponent" you are without a chance to show you are 'better'?
Interesting. So, to be clear, you would not call a doctor to your home, or take yourself to a hospital.
I would do what is necessary, and consistent with the truth I know, to deal with the situations as they arise. If you were hoping for a different answer, I'll have to disappoint you.
Would you simply accept that your basement is flooded, or would you call in people to assist you with the problem?
Ah I see, if I do not accept your dogma, I am merely still a slave. Ok, I am a slave. A happy one too.
LOL. Never said I was a Guru. My only claim is to being free of the entrapments you seem to wish me to embrace again. If only I would take on your more enlightened doctrine, then I could free myself from my shackles.
Correction: I have no power at all.
No thank you. I AM free, whether you call it so or not. You have no power over my will, nor can you define God's will for me.
As I recall, I stated more than once that my way has shown to be only ONE of many, many ways to arrive at the truth.
It is you who comes here a false teacher, claiming some enlightened perspective all should accept.
To be clear, my only teaching has been, I am not here to teach, find your own truth.
Interesting choice of language. I am my own prophet, as you are yours.
I am sure. Atheists are to be credited in that they examine the assertions of Religion and find them lacking. However, they do a very poor job of scrutinizing their own beliefs in physical realness. For example:

Namely with these statements:
Otherwise the atheists would be in an insane asylum.
There was a recent article out challenging the intelligence and biblical knowledge of theists vs. atheists. As I'm sure you can imagine the latter out-performed. Search for the thread on ATS. Easy to find...
I would have to disagree, and adjust that to, "man can assert and exercise rights as the creator sees fit." The only rights that can be asserted are those that are endowed. If you go beyond that, you are at risk for creating a victim of yourself or others, and will be 'corrected'.

The debate... If man is a manifestation of God in the form of compressed energy/ consciousness, then yes... A man can endow himself with rights as the creator sees fit.
Yes. I agree. The question that's hard to get through for some people is, "Where does real law end and man-made, play law begin?"
Your reference is an issue of law. Man will eventually find true knowledge of good at which point the Infinite backs us up.

Alright my friend, I visited the websites you mentioned and it appears to me as though we are cut from the same cloth philosophically.
I will illustrate with these points:
1. I am free because God made me so.
2. There is no right or wrong, there just is,
3. Trust in God, and he will provide.
4. Accept Gods will.
Now if I you would care to correct these primary points on which we seem to agree do so, that we might have clarity.
If these points are acceptable, answer me this, why do you seem to be resisting my efforts to illuminate others to these facts?
Originally posted by seamus
One: It appears we agree on the basics.
Originally posted by seamusTwo: I resist (or rather, appear to resist) efforts to illuminate others when they include concepts that lead to victimhood. You seem to imply in your "final warning" and in "the plan" that there is something to be done about the "powers that be", as if they are doing something that is contrary to the will of God. In doing so you are ascribing to Man the power he does not have, namely thwarting God's will. No, the Powers that Be are where they are because that's where God wants them to be, and if I need to do something about it, I'll know. No man will have to tell me. God will tell me.
Originally posted by seamusThree: Sovereignty comes from God, and he/she/it grants sovereignty within the simulation to those individuals who have figured out the Game. I can say this freely here, since no one will believe me, except those who are ready. The game is: I am you, you are me, we are God. One essence, many faces. Peekaboo taken to extremes. Once you have figured it out, you are ready to graduate to the self-responsibility that marks the saints. I take full responsibility not only for the things I have done in this life, but for the things that have been done to me. I accept no victimhood into my mindset, as this was my choice from the beginning.
Originally posted by seamusIt appears you allow some wiggle-room for being the downtrodden, which is straight from the Good Slave manual. I may be seeing it wrong. You may be completely self-responsible. If so, I apologize for my misconstruance, and hope that it has been helpful for our brothers to read the interchange.

Wonderful! This is good progress. I hate arguing with myself
Those what-ifs are easily dispensed with, once you remember that no man has it in his power to thwart God's will. If God gives me the idea to, say, assassinate the Prime Zodiac of Mongeraria, and I do it, it was obviously God's will, since I have no power to alter the Divine Plan. The twisted mind would wish to turn this into license to do selfish acts or wanton destruction. Therefore the twisted mind is not allowed to understand whence power comes.
Interesting. What if God didn't want you to do anything about it. What if he had that in mind for someone else.
Um, you're welcome!
Regardless, I am not that someone else. Yes the powers that be are where they are because it is Gods will. Why? Because Man kind has not woken up to the fact that he is utterly responsible for himself. This post is not contrary to God's will, but in accordance with it. In fact, this thread has had very little activity in some time. You, brought it back from the dead. Thank you for your part of God's Will!
Being condemned to the cross? Well, I would say that figuratively, you're right, but it's not much different from what would have had to happen anyway. What-ifs are fruitless until you find yourself in a timeline where that what-if had happened. I don't consider that to be highly likely, so I don't spend much energy on thinking about them. However, I know one fellow who jumps timelines frequently. You'd be surprised how similar things are even when details are different.
Yep, and Pontius Pilate condemned himself, ourself, yourself, to the cross. Yes, I know all this. If you would have asked out right, I would have shared what I know with us.
I'll check it out.
No worries my friend. You may enjoy some of my less controversial threads. I have only posted but a few here, and they are just a bit of revelation. The reason why my threads are a bit contradictory is because they are all but one piece to a puzzle, and they are scattered about this forum. You really have to read them all to get my whole message. Ism's, Truth, Destiny, The Plan, and a Final Warning.

If the Creator endowed us for each moment... We would all afford a college eduction right?
We are free to live the lives we have contracted/agreed for, and not to be infringed within our agreement. That does not mean that we are prevented from choosing a life that includes being the victim of abuse, such as I did.
We would live free of abuse from others as well as the elements?
Why make all snowflakes the same?
How about the basics... Same IQ's across the board? Two eyes, two ears, and a nose combined with the appropriate amount of limbs?
The point I was attempting to make is that we're here to provide for ourselves via sacrifice and understanding.
The game is making the Universe function the way it's intended to function.
Don't forget it's a constant state of present time. On a level playing field you can assert and exercise all you want. Unfortunately, we've failed to arrive thus far.
That's largely because you still think in terms of 'we'. No disrespect to the Lakota (in whose language there is no term for 'I', only 'we', 'us'), but this level of the simulation is for learning how to be an integrous individual. I have surpassed herd existence.
