The Bible is obsolete

The dictionary definition of obsolete includes the word venerable. It is OK to venerate The Bible but we must appreciate that all the wisdom and guidance provided by the authors of the many books in The Bible were “talking to” the people of that time. The commandments, the do’s-and-dont’s were structured to guide people of “Those times”.

“Those times” had a different set of requirements for survival of the human race and the requirements for the RESPECT of the Spiritual Universe and Infinity ( GOD as the 7th and 8th dynamic of The 8 dynamics ).

The 1st and 2nd dynamics deal with the Self and Family. During “Those times” the survival, educational development and expansion of the Family was fundamental to the survival of the human race. The 3rd dynamic (Groups and Religion) was a very high level of responsibility at that time and was intended to provide the knowledge about how to RESPECT GOD. Children were very important, not only to support the family and support the parents in their old age, when their knowledge was reaching its prime, but also to expand the population and pioneer the expansion into the furthest regions of the planet. All this to ensure the survival of the human race.

The survival of the human race at this time has virtually the opposite challenges to “Those times”. I am not talking about the under-developed countries but the majority of the current 7 billion+ people that occupy the planet and who are now causing the greatest damage to the planet. Today we are faced with over-population as problem number one with regard to the acceleration of climate change. And one of the greatest “problems” with over-population is the fact that the parents (and grandparents) are no longer required as the source of knowledge. Yeh! That is pretty brutal but the knowledge that the parents and the grandparents do have is the importance of nature and most of the population, in these terrible times,  is only concerned with exercising their RIGHTS and getting away with as many of the Seven Deadly Sins as possible. With regards to knowledge that was necessary for the education of the children in “Those times”, as provided by the parents and grandparents, is frequently invalid, superseded, inappropriate or obsolete. Global knowledge is now available on the web or TV. Separating the right from the wrong and the valid news from the fake-news is another problem entirely. Once again this is not applicable to the under-developed areas of the world.

It is time to accept that The Bible cannot be used to solve the problems of the present generation. It is the ultimate source of historic detail and religious considerations. It provides a reference for most religions and should never be discounted with regards to that function. But it’s limitations must be accepted. The Bible can and will provide comfort and purpose for many lives and assist many people in finding peace and comfort and respect for nature.

BUT it is time for more people to accept greater levels of RESPONSIBILITY and expand their life-styles to include awareness of, and contributions to the 4th and 5th dynamics (Country and Planet).

If we do not increase our levels of RESPONSIBILITY and adopt TheCode then we are acting like Lemmings and following trump into the abyss of ARMAGEDDON.

You do not ever have to sacrifice any of your beliefs to step up to greater RESPONSIBILITY.

Go back to the bottom of TheCode page  and listen to Barack Obama’s address to ASU in 2009.

With RESPECT,

Religions and Bibles

I believe that all religions have a fundamental purpose in common. That they all have the same objective. I believe that if each and every Religion was to have a single sentence purpose as a precursor to the religion, as I have proposed for the Laws of each and every country, then all Religions would suddenly find that they all have the same objective in mind. Ooops! What on earth have all the Religious wars been about anyway? Put very simply,  because people are a.) not prepared to Respect the opinions of others and b.) GREED.

All the religious books-of-guidance,  for want of a better term,  therefore all have the same PURPOSE in mind and are all subject to the same errors of interpretation.    Let me try to explain my viewpoint by using the Ten Commandments as an example. The reference used here takes great care to interpret THE WORDS THAT WERE HANDED DOWN TO BE TREATED AS LAW. Many subtle differences are detailed and the Jewish and Hebrew Ten Commandments, as listed, keep the laws as simple and unambiguous as possible. Let us consider the 6th commandment. The Christian set defines the 6th as: You shall not kill. The Jewish and Hebrew defines the 6th as: You shall not murder. Not a big difference but the first definition is used as the main reason why a person should be a vegetarian or even more extreme, a vegan. If we accept the second definition as being “correct” then the consideration that we are “murdering” cows is not really a consideration. It does, however, apply to people!

To my understanding, the most blatant and inhumane misinterpretation of the religious books-of-guidance is the justification that the terrorists use to “kill the infidels” as allegedly “dictated” in the Koran. There is no religion on this planet that justifies murder and definitely not genocide. And to top off this blight on the planet the Do-Gooders maintain that these people should not be put to death!!

The next issue which creates misinterpretation of the religious books-of-guidance is the fact that we do not take into account THE AUDIENCE that these books were written for or the environmental conditions that applied at the time or the level of education and understanding that prevailed at the time and consequently how these laws would be PERCEIVED at the time. What were these laws intended to achieve AT THAT TIME?

All the Religious Tomes are very similar in concept to our Law Books and have the same fundamental error. The thing that is missing is the KISS principle.  This document is based on the KISS principle. All that is important is TheCode. Acceptance, understanding and application of TheCode is all we are trying to achieve.

It is in this area of the purpose behind religions that I seek help from people who belong to other religions to see if we can align ALL RELIGIONS to agree that they have a common PURPOSE and therefore can co-existent AND co-operate. This can be achieved by means of  TheCode. We need to establish TheCode as a means of achieving peace. I believe that if we can agree to use TheCode as a basis for resolving errors of interpretation then we will be able to reach an amicable compromise for most (if not all?) of our differences.

PLEASE let me have your understanding and interpretations,

Jude

 

Why a Ten Year Plan

The Covid-19 consumes most conversations and most news reports at this time but there are a number of discussions about what we need to do after Covid-19.  Our lives will change. The issue that needs to be addressed  NOW is what changes will be made.

Insanity is clearly defined here.  The layman’s (over-simplified version) is that we will have more of the same and expect a different outcome. The politicization of this pandemic has been extensive. In fact, so extensive that the above legal interpretation of insanity describes TheDon very accurately and the GREED of too many of the American population ( read:  The Republicans who support TheDon ) provides a sickening example of how the economy ( read: PROFIT ) comes before the population of the country.

It seems to me that the purpose (read: ambition or motive or desire ) of most of the super-rich in the world is to become richer. What  do they do with their money that benefits the people or more importantly The Planet?  If the population is decimated by something like Covid-19 then there is no economy ( see: Economy 101 ). And if there is no Planet then there is no population and no opportunity for the rich to have any income at all, never mind become richer !!

This is a generality because there are many who are making efforts to benefit other than their bank balance. There are many initiatives being funded across the world BUT what is the purpose of all this effort and money if the planet is destroyed by GREED or POLITICS or RELIGION.

Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, is busy on a number of very positive plans to reduce the carbon pollution which is accelerating Climate Change and he is contributing huge sums of money to improve the living standards of the poor in Africa. A most interesting overview of Bill Gates is Inside Bill’s Brain on NetFlix. Worth checking out if you are a subscriber!

Elon Musk has achieved a huge transformation of the USA to Solar Power with his development of Tesla.  (2017 First car. Must watch!!) Space X isaiming to provide a new world for us to go to in the event ( sorry WHEN ) we are overcome by ARMAGEDDON but IMHO this is headed for a bad outcome if all we are going to do is expand the current climate of Greed, Politics and Religion. What can do with his Space X program? Educate his travelers with a new mindset – The Code.

So what does this have to do with the Ten Year Plan?  Recovery from Covid-19 pandemic will have to rely on POLITICS. Each and every Government is going to have to plan to get their country back on its feet. So we are going to have to rely on the POLITICIANS to get the world back on an even footing.

The most essential part of this process is going to require a united government to achieve this process. All forms of government are going to have to ensure that ALL the people are taken into consideration to get the countries back on their feet and get the world economy back on a sound footing. Historical feuds of any sort have got to be put behind us and whatever compromises are necessary to achieve this must be resolved. (This can be achieved using TheCode!! )  All democratic Governments need to make sure that they act responsibly (for the country and not the party or any political incumbent) and that they ensure that they are accountable. The Ten Year Plan can ensure that no political party ever has the ability to manipulate the people so as to achieve personal or party advantage.

We do not need amoral people like trump in power! ESPECIALLY not in the most powerful country (militarily !) in the world.

Sincerely,  Jude
