Man Lives His Allotted Span on Earth

 

 

“A man lives his allotted span in the dispensation of the High God of Old, whose will encompasses the daily task and round. All things have their beginning and end with God. His power cannot be suppressed. His knowledge is the wisdom of eternity. His strength reaches out into infinity.

“His dwelling place is set in the universal center, and He encompasses all the universes great and small. His breath sustains life in multitudinous forms, and his thought holds all things to their proper shape.

He prescribes the courses of the stars. He issues His commands to the winds, and they sing their responses. The wide seas murmur His praise. He moves the silences in the void of empty space, where the Eternal Heart lies sleeping. Order and beauty are shaped by His hands.

“His voice speaks from the sandy silences. He whispers in the cool breezes. He roars in the whirlwind. He murmurs in the running waters. He sighs in the treetops, and men hear His voice without understanding.

“Man dreams and says this is reality. He sees the shadow, but is blinded before the light. He reasons and is deceived. The design of the True God and His nature cannot be understood in the light of reason, for reason is not with this God, who knows all things without reason.”

-The Kolbrin Bible (MPR:2:6-9)

We Live Our Allotted Span

We each live an allotted span, which is determined, in the overall sense, by God. We can shorten our physical lives by eating poorly, not exercising, using illegal drugs, or intentional suicide. We can also increase our our span by living a healthy lifestyle, and using anti-aging supplements. Yet, while there are some who believe that eventually medical advances will allow us to live forever in a physical body, it is simply not possible. All things physical have a beginning and an end. The smart thing to do is to awaken and develop our immortal Spirit and Soul. Only that can give us true immortality.

All things Begin and end with God

Everything that exists in Nature was created by God. Even the physical universe, which was created by the Demiurge, has a spiritual element to it that was created by God. Of course, man-made things are not from God, so we can’t blame God for guns, cigarettes, and other things that are harmful to Man and other beings.

His Knowledge is Wisdom

Many people today are confused about this. Many think that the knowledge we get in school may sometimes be considered wisdom, but it isn’t. The only true Wisdom is the Knowledge that comes directly from God. This knowledge cannot be found in books, nor can it be found in the human mind. Only the Spirit and Soul can receive and understand God’s Wisdom.

God Dwells in the Universal Center

In a way, that is true, but it can be misleading. If you think of the dimensions of reality being like the layers of an onion, the center would be the middle part of the onion. In actual fact, God dwells in the highest dimension, which is the outermost layer, and all other dimensions are within it. As the quote goes on to say, God “ encompasses all the universes great and small.” So that backs up the teaching that the dwelling place of God is the outermost layer, not the innermost.

Man Sees the Shadow, but is Blinded by Light

We see the shadow world, which is the world of matter. We don’t see the spiritual world, which is invisible to the physical eyes. Only the Spirit can see the spiritual world. And if God were to appear in front of us in his true form, the brightness of His Light would probably blind us. But this also has an allegorical meaning. It means that the vast majority of us refuse to “see” anything beyond the physical. Even many who believe in God think of him as a physical being. But if God were physical, then like everything else physical, he would have a beginning and an end, and He would have a specific size. But God has no beginning and no end, and no limits.



“Tracking Changes in the Trifid Nebula With the Hubble”

 

 

The Hubble Space Telescope has been operational for more than 35 years now, delivering exquisite views into the cosmos. To celebrate its latest birthday, researchers have released this new image of the Trifid Nebula, also known as Messier 20. It’s a star-forming region located about 5,000 light-years away and appears to be broken into three sections, separated by dark dust lanes. The nebula is only 300,000 years old, and will dissipate into the interstellar medium in a few million years as its stars ignite.

“Exploding Stars, Black Holes, and the Forbidden Gap”

 

 

The gravitational waves from colliding black holes were first detected in 2015, with many more collisions found in the following decade. The theories say that stars between 50 and 130 solar masses should collapse and become black holes, but black holes with more than 45 solar masses are extremely rare. This is known as the Forbidden Gap. But what is the cause?

“Black hole Cygnus X-1’s dancing jets”

 

 

The Cygnus X-1 black hole has a special place in the history of astronomy. In 1971, astronomers confirmed it as the 1st known black hole. And now, a new study has shed light on the immensely powerful jets that stream from it.

These jets are bending and dancing, blown by the stellar winds from a large nearby star. By measuring the motion of these dancing jets, researchers were able to calculate their power.

They found the jets have an astounding 10,000 times the power output of our sun! Plus, they travel at half the speed of light.

There is Only One God

 

“There is but one God, the High God, the Designer, the Creator and Ruler of the Earth and the Lord of the Kingdoms of Light and Darkness. Everlasting, All Powerful and beyond the understanding of men. The Great Dweller in Everlasting Pregnant Silence, Unseeable, Unknowable.

“By a command He created man, and in His indulgence permitted the gods to be fashioned. He is the Source of all that is, the Father of Fathers, the Mother of Mothers, the One Who preceded the sun. The sun is not God, though His creation, for its brightness bestows light and life upon the Earth. It gives warmth to the aged and quickens the child in its mother’s womb. It nourishes the seed and calls forth the green growth. It is the instrument of the High God, His furnace fire of life. The sun is removed from man at night time, but the True God is always with him. Man never walks alone; he is never unescorted”

-The Kolbrin Bible (MPR:2:1-2)

Only One True God

There is only one true God, and that is the God of Spirit, the God of Light. There are many false gods that are either fallen angels or the creation of men who like to see god in their image since they can’t comprehend a god who is so much greater than the physical being of man. Sadly, these false gods have control of the vast majority of humanity, although that is starting to improve.

Lord of the Kingdoms of Light and Darkness

The quote says the true God is Lord of the Kingdoms of Light and Darkness. While in a sense, that is true, it is really Satan who runs the kingdom of Darkness. God cannot descend into darkness, as that would polute His purity. But he can send his presence into the physical world to aid in helping humans awaken to their true Self, and that is what God has done by creating the Sun of Righteousness.

Everlasting and All-powerful

The true God is indeed everlasting. He has always existed and always will. He is all-powerful as He can create anything simply by thinking about it, and there is no power or being that can stop Him.

Father of Fathers and Mother of Mothers

While it is a convention to write about God as “He”, God is just as much female as male. God can only create that which He knows, so he must know what it is to be female as well as male.

The Sun is Not God

It is true that the sun is not God, yet it is a creation of God on the Spiritual Level. The Spiritual Sun is, in a sense, much like a human Soul. God created the Sun of Righteousness by embedding His essence in the Spiritual Sun, but not the physical sun. Nonetheless, this change to the Spiritual Sun is resulting in changes to the physical sun. In fact, as the Light of God permeates all of the physical universe, it is being gradually changed back into the spiritual form that God always intended it to be. The quote says that even though the sun is hidden from us at night, the True God is always with us. In fact, even at night and on cloudy days, the spiritual sun still shines down on us and still does the work of God.



“Scientists reveal the hidden forces shaping how gravity works across the Universe”

 

 

Gravity behaves predictably in your daily life. Drop a ball, and it falls. Planets loop around stars. On paper, the same rules should also govern matter spread across the universe. But the farther astronomers look, the more that certainty gets tested.

“Early Galaxies Were Surrounded by Huge Clouds of Hydrogen, and Astronomers Found a Whole Bunch!”

 

 

The first stars and galaxies formed out of immense clouds of neutral hydrogen, but it was theorized these clouds were surrounded by even larger “Lyman-alpha nebulae.” But only a few thousand of these clouds have ever been detected. Now, astronomers have discovered tens of thousands of halos that existed 10 to 12 billion years ago, at the time of Cosmic Dawn, when star formation began in the cosmos.

“Two Monsters, One Galaxy, and a Collision 100 Years Away!”

 

 

Most galaxies contain supermassive black holes, built up through countless mergers of less massive black holes. This means we should see galactic black holes in all forms of evolution, and occasionally see them coming together. Now, researchers think they’ve found a close pair of supermassive black holes in the galaxy Markarian 501, located about 450 million light-years away. They’re locked in their final spiral, orbiting one another every 121 days, separated by 250-540 times the Earth-Sun distance.

“Cosmic simulations reveal how galaxies formed and evolved over billions of years”

 

 

Cold gas does not look dramatic at first glance. Neither does dust. Yet those two quiet ingredients sit at the center of a new effort to build a far more realistic picture of how galaxies formed. They help explain how galaxies changed and spread across the universe over billions of years.

The Traits of a Good Ruler

 

 

“The good ruler should not speak falsehood; he should be as great as his responsibilities. Each word should be weighed before spoken, for it is accepted as gold and not as thistledown. He should take heed of his own judgments, for the judgments of eternity draw near. He should be, above all, an example to all men. The gardener of wickedness waters his land with deceit, and it brings forth falsehood. The good ruler should be above every deed of meanness; he should be the father of the orphan and the husband of the widow. A true leader of the people should be free from every kind of avarice, a man above every kind of pettiness. He should be a man of wide vision. He should be like the rising waters that feed the fertile fields. He should be swift and sure to execute judgment on him, to whom punishment is due. O where does he sleep today, in what generation will he come forth?”

-The Kolbrin Bible (MAN:34:70)

Speaking Lies

A good leader does not speak lies. That doesn’t just mean that he refrains from telling stories that are complete fabrications; it also means he doesn’t tell partial truths, which is another way to lie. There are exceptions to this rule, as there are to almost all rules. You don’t tell a person they are ugly or stupid, even if it is true. Sometimes, good manners override the need to tell the truth. It is also necessary, especially today, for governments to keep some things secret, as revealing them to the general public can be dangerous. The quote says should weigh every word before it is spoken, “for it is accepted as gold”. In other words, it is assumed that the leader doesn’t lie. Once that assumption is proved false, the leader may never be trusted again.

Take Heed of His Judgments

While in a sense, it is only God who can judge us, a leader must judge people who behave poorly, or appoint judges to do it for him. As the quote indicates, the leader will die one day and be subject to the judgment of God’s Law, so he must judge others fairly.

Be an Example

A good ruler doesn’t act one way while expecting others to act differently. The good ruler acts as he expects others to act. If a ruler is frequently looking for ways to mistreat certain groups of people because of their religion, race, color, etc., He should not be surprised if people look on him the same way. If a ruler looks for ways to steal the natural resources of other nations, he should not be surprised when other nations try to steal the resources of his nation. If a ruler tries to find reasons to start wars, he should expect others to do the same to his land.

Free from Avarice and Pettiness

There was a time when kings and other leaders did not deal in avarice. In the past century, we have seen several leaders overthrown or assassinated because of their avarice. Yet that has not stopped modern leaders in several countries from being full of avarice. The good leader also avoids all forms of pettiness and does not react with anger when someone disagrees with him or makes a joke about him.

Wide Vision

A good leader should be a man of wide vision. That means more than just a wide vision of what is happening in the world on the physical level, but also he must have vision of the spiritual. This means that the good leader must be spiritually developed, or at least must have trusted advisors who are spiritual leaders.
