[Wisdom
from Channeler Rana of Year 2150 AD:
Chapter Six: CRIME AND PUNISHMENT: Booklet “The Prophetess,
Conversations With Rana (and Jon Lake, Ph.D. Student, who went to sleep in 1976
and awoke 174 years into the future in a culture known as the Macro Society),”
Published 1976] [EXCERPT from a larger collection of conversations compiled by
Thea Alexander]
“All
Punishment returns to the person or society that punishes.”
In
America of the nineteen seventies, the largest number of crimes were either
drug addiction or caused by drug addiction. Some of your drug experts claimed
that drug addiction was a fatal disease and that no one who contracted it could
ever be cured. Even your most optimistic drug experts claimed no more than a 5%
cure rate. In spite of their full knowledge of these facts your lawmakers and
law enforcers devoted their major efforts to keeping drugs away from addicts.
This forced addicts to steal, kill, and sell their lives for drugs. Such drug
laws also provided the major support for your organized crime syndicates such
as the Mafia.
Since
at least 90% of the total life energy of micro man is devoted to escape and
denial of unpleasant reality, all micro laws against escape are futile. Every
one, who has forgotten that larger life views exist, wants to escape the
consequences of a limited micro view. Since most micro laws are directed
against micro escape activities (murder, robbery, drugs, sex, gambling, etc.),
micro societies have always had plenty of law breakers no matter what
punishments were inflicted upon offenders.
The
inexorable micro law of karma provides that as you treat others so you will be
treated. Thus, all punishment always returns to the person or society that
punishes. Obviously your fellow Americans were not aware of this when they
overwhelmingly voted for the continuance of capital punishment or when they
permitted the incredibly destructive conditions in your jails and prisons.
If
you jailed all the lawbreakers in any micro society, there would be no one
outside of the jails! However, micro societies rarely catch and punish the rich
and powerful. Only the poor and politically weak are regularly caught and
punished.
While
micro laws and micro punishments can never provide true justice, karmic law and
karmic punishments are always perfectly just. Thus, every micro person must
sooner or later experience the perfect consequences of his every thought, word,
and deed.
As
you know, in the Macro society we have no laws. We, thus, have no lawbreakers
or punishments. However, no one lives in the Macro society who does not accept
Macro philosophy and its applications. Since the Macro society provides no
possessions, no power, and no supports to micro pride, it is unbearable for any
micro individual to remain very long in the Macro society.
In
the 1970’s when the Macro society began, there were still many angry selfish
people. We did not reward micro behavior by condemning it, resisting it, or
punishing it. By this I do not mean that we ignored or denied it. On the
contrary, we helped micro people become more aware of their micro behavior by
discussing various behavior patterns and their probable results in a
non-judgmental, non-condemning, non-angry manner. We did not try to change
through persuasion or coercion, but rather hoped to demonstrate the benefits of
a Macro view of life by living our own daily lives with a Macro perspective.
In
other words, we knew that others, like children, learn more from our actions
than from our words. We knew that when we condemn others we are teaching self
hate. This produces the fruits of self-hate—violence, conflict, fear, and war.
We
knew that micro man would have conflict and war as long as he was willing to
fight for peace. From the larger view, Jon, one’s crimes are always against
one’s self and punishments are always self-inflicted. This can only be
understood from a Macro perspective. Only by living this larger perspective in
a Macro oriented society will you ever free yourselves of crime and punishment.
