[Wisdom
from Channeler Rana of Year 2150 AD:
Chapter Nine: LAW AND INJUSTICE: 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]
From
a micro view, injustice is anything that is unfair or undeserved.
From
a Macro view nothing is unfair or undeserved since every soul has free will and
can experience only that which it has chosen for its own growth/evolution.
Laws
are necessary to protect people who are divided by possessions. So as long as
man uses a micro view, people must remain divided.
All
injustice is the result of divisions. Looking at your world of 1976, Jon, you
can easily see many of the micro divisions, which created what seemed to be
injustice and, therefore, the need for laws to protect your people from one
another.
To
begin with, there were the major psychological and philosophical divisions such
as good and evil, truth and falsehood, pleasure and pain, beauty and ugliness.
These polarities, when used to separate, produce micro man’s greatest
possession—pride.
We
have discussed each of these polarities in the past, but now let’s consider how
these micro divisions both cause injustice and are in themselves unjust or
incomplete. I must warn you though that the things I am about to say make very
little sense from a micro view.
Good
exists only if there is bad. Truth exists only if there is falsehood. Beauty
exists only if there is ugliness. And you can experience pain or pleasure only
to the extent that you have experienced its opposite.
To
view the world as forever divided into these polarities means that one
experiences constant division, conflict, and incompletion. This causes the
frustration and misery which micro man sees as unjust. To escape your
self-created feelings of persecution, separateness, and injustice man created
laws that perpetuate divisions and injustice. Remember, Jon, there are no
criminals or crimes until you have laws.
Only
things that are thought to be separate from the whole can be possessed. Thus,
freedom from the tyranny of possessions (injustice) lies only in awareness of
the indivisibility of the Macro self. From the Macro view, you have everything
so there can be no divisions, no injustice, and no need for laws to protect us
from our micro selves which are an indivisible part of our Macro self.
Looking
back on your nation in the 1960’s, 70’s, and 80’s, one sees a country divided,
and growing more divided with each passing year. With your tax laws favoring
the rich and politically powerful, divisions between rich and poor became
greater and greater.
Consider,
for example, the poor in your rotting inner cities—or your migrant farm
workers, and compare their lives with those of your middle and upper classes.
An
added irritant was your television and advertising media which were constantly
reminding everyone of these divisions by insisting that having possessions was
good and that not having possessions was bad. So much so that almost every
person alive at that time measured his own worth, as did his society, by his
possessions or lack thereof.
It was
inevitable that frustration, rage, and self hate would grow until laws
protecting possessions became more important than laws supporting education,
health, or pollution control.
Even
as late as the 1980’s if you had abolished your prisons, you could have reduced
your crime rate by 20%. Your prisons were training schools for criminals. By
generally refusing to employ ex-convicts, your society virtually forced them
back into lives of crime.
The
more viciously you treated them in prison, the more viciously they treated you
when they got out.
Moreover,
if you had also abolished your laws without victims (gambling, drugs, sex,
etc.) you would have reduced your crime rate by an additional 70% and also
eliminated your crime syndicates such as the Mafia!
Laws
against pleasure made almost everyone a lawbreaker and fearful of police and
government.
Having
learned nothing from your prohibition of alcohol, fifty years later you made
criminals out of your children over illegal drugs. These drugs were not one
tenth as harmful to your society as your legal drug of alcohol or your health
destroying cigarettes, so your youth rightfully cried hypocrisy and divisions
grew greater yet.
Laws
are always invented and enforced by those who are afraid and envious of others.
Laws against pleasure are always upheld and enforced by those in pain who are
envious of those with pleasure. Most importantly, laws against pleasure produce
mass guilt, which produces mass denial of reality, which maintains micro
awareness. This causes the need for possessions, which leads to laws and
injustice.
