"It has been said that "the truth will make men
free". The truth alone has never set anyone free. It is only DOUBT that
will bring mental emancipation. Without the wonderful element of doubt, the
doorway through which truth passes would be tightly shut, impervious to the
most strenuous poundings of a thousand Lucifers." ~ Anton LaVey, Satanist
Deceit is the stronghold of Satan. Mr LaVey told a half
truth in the quote above. You see, faith is the greatest power the human spirit
possesses. Without faith there is only fear, hopelessness and destruction. It
is said that Pandora released sickness, death, turmoil, strife, jealousy,
hatred, famine and passion from her box, trapping hope inside. Without hope,
without faith, humanity would be turned completely over to fear. Fear traps
your spiritual energy, making you ignorant, weak, and foolish. Faith makes you
great. Without faith, without dreams of a better world, you could not create a
better world. Your imagination is the most powerful gift, and you the master,
the creator of your world, cannot imagine better, if you give yourself over to
your fears and doubts.
Mary Magdalene said, “Do not remain in sorrow and doubt”
which is better translated as, “Do not be sad, and do not have a divided heart.”
Jesus in Matthew 21:21-22 said, “Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and
doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if
ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and Be cast into the sea, it shall be done.
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.”
Duality consciousness creates a schizophrenia in the mind,
where words, actions, desires, and thoughts are always in conflict. Those in
doubt are always at war with their own self-image. All materialistic, carnal,
base men are suffering from a deplorable identity crisis, derived from fear.
Before Emperor Constantine edited the bible in the 3rd
Century, using it to fit his own ends, one common theme that ran throughout
was, “Let man not separate what God has united.” Essentially, the more we love,
and feel joy, the closer we come to God, which is a frequency that we can tune
into at any time. However, fear is the great divider. There is a great abyss
between what we have created, and what we are creating with our imagination,
and the bridge between the two worlds is our faith. Doubt is like the troll
that stops you from crossing the bridge. Gregg Braden states that the heart is
the bridge between your imagination and your feelings, creating the emotions to
solidify your imagination into reality. Fear and doubt is the ugly troll that
stops you from crossing that bridge, from solidifying your dreams, from
creating heaven on earth.
Man has become dependent on outer reality for his happiness,
and when outer reality turns to entropy and decay, man falls into ruin. But the
man with faith needs no external reality to feel happy, joyful and free. The
faithful man is a peaceful man. The man in doubt is a violent, cruel and greedy
man, because his fear lies to him about what creates happiness.
The ancients said that the worst sin was ingratitude. Ingratitude
denotes doubts and fears of not having enough, and never achieving what we are
destined to achieve. Faith is happiness with your lot. Happy because you know
that there is more where that came from. Faith says that we trust the universe
to provide our dreams, and that we trust ourselves to create the reality we
desire.
