The ten commandments can be termed "chaos control" laws. Chaos begins with what I will call the "Laws of Separation" L o S.s. The L o S.s. begins before time, established as opposite the Law of One. As chaos ensues, it is intolerable. For chaos to survive, it must try to control the damage done by the L o S.s. So, The ten commandments are like damage control. What controls the damage does not necessarily fix the damage. Rather, It could be argued that it perpetuates the damage. Following the ten commandments could result in wandering around in the "desert" for fourty years, four thousand years, or fourty million years. All the laws of nations are chaos control laws. They make "hell" tolerable. If hell is made tolerable, it may last "forever". So, Jesus told the young man, "sell everything you have and follow me". This means, sell everything you ever believed to be true or necessary for salvation. Sell it on E-bay for whatever you can get for it. Then, follow the truth of your heart out of the world altogether. Christ!
The least important would be the one that reinforces the Laws of Separation. The most important would be the one that reinforces the Law of One. If the first commandment reinforces the the truth of oneness in one's mind, then that is the greatest. If not, then not. The "second" is "like it". That is, if the "new" commandment reinforces the truth of oneness in the mind of the one who practices it, that is its true purpose. "Love thy neighbor as thy self". If practiced consistently, it leads to "know thy Self". "Thy Self" is one. "Neighbor" is a mask over oneSelf. In looking beyond the "mask" of "neighbor", Jesus practiced *true forgiveness.* Overlooking the masks, Jesus saw *Self* aka "Christ", "Son of God"..."the One" Perfection. This is how Jesus *healed* the *sick*. The "Lord" who made the heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them...is the *lord of separation*. Note well: the earth is separated from the heavens, and the sea is separated from the land, and all that is in the sea is separated from each other, as well as all that is on the land. And as many have been given stomachs, as many kill to survive. And nothing lives but that something else dies. Everything is attacking everything, and nothing lives forever. Even stars "die". And when stars die, they take everything with them that seemed to live as the star consumed itself up. Even as the star sustains "life", it also takes it away. So, The lord of separation is the lord of confusion, which is also the lord of condemnation. As literally as anything can be in illusion, the lord of separation builds its world on thoughts of confusion. Thoughts of confusion are "work". The "work" of confusion maintains the earth, the sea and all that is in them. Thus, Confusion maintains condemnation. So, To escape condemnation, "rest" from thoughts of confusion. This is the true *sabbath*. The false sabbath is for chaos control. Chaos control is like "bread and circus" to keep the population from revolting. The false sabbath is for distraction. The false sabbath is for keeping captives condemned. The false sabbath is for keeping slaves sloshed. The true sabbath is to rest from the thoughts that make the world seem real. What makes the world seem real are *judgements* about it that make it seem real. Any kind of knee-jerk reaction to the world will make it real for the reactionary. The world is set up to get a reaction. If you react, you "work" to make it real. True sabbath stops reaction by resting from judgements that make and maintain confusion. Forgiveness and true sabbath are similar, function the same, and "rest" toward the same end. True sabbath reestablishes the *condemned* as the *Lord* of the "lord" of the earth and the seas and all that is in them. True sabbath dismantles all that the lord of the earth and the seas has made through confused and confusing thoughts about the true Lord. As each one truly rests, the true Lord will dismantle the damage done by the lord of the earth and seas and all that is in them. Legend says the lord of the earth and seas and all that is in them made its domain in "six days". So, Jesus said, "Destroy this temple and I will raise it up in three days". This is a *shot* over the bow of the *lord of the seas* proverbial *ship*. It means that as fast as the *lord of the seas* can make its domain destroy the domain of the true Lord, the true Lord will dismantle its domain, sink its ship...and "live" again...free. As each rests in peace, the world will pass away in three more days. Thus, In six days, the world is built and dismantled, conceptually speaking. The building of the world is the destruction of the Son of God. The dismantling of the world is the restoration of the Son of God. Restoration "raises" a compromised mind ["temple"] back to its true glory. It's all phsychological. Insanity in. Sanity out. That is the true resurrection. Christ!
Indeed! Whether you're a hard core atheist or a devout theologian, Ztroll's scumbag status is the common ground we can all agree upon.
"...is the common ground we can all agree upon." We, we, we...all the way home... More of the ET collective at work... Drug addict, convict, into teenage Russian sluts, so afraid of someones opinion that he threatens to hire thugs to physically attack the person who has a different opinion...on an anonymous message board. Yep, you make a fine and exemplary leader of the ET we collective and the collectivism goal you strive for... Resentments like yours kill a lot more people than prohibition... "Resentments are deadly - literally. 'Nothing on earth consumes a person more quickly than the passion of resentment,' said Nietzsche." Consumed with and by resentments is a pretty good description of you...sad, very sad. Were you willing to let go of the resentments, you might actually stand a chance to recover from your drug addiction...
If we agree that his scumbag status is "the truth", then we will stand, condemned, on common ground. But, if we can overlook what seems *official*, we can overlook the scumbag status we see in ourselves. What if scumbag status is a mask? What if its nOt actually "the truth"? What if its a ruse to wreck the reputation of the *Masquerader*? Who or what would wear such a mask? Who or what would prefer to see such a mask? Aha! His mask makes mine look divine! But this kind of comparison won't work to free myself of my own mask. This kind of comparison must be a trap. This kind of comparison must be reactionary. There must be a way to overlook the mask. Perhaps we could laugh at the mask. Perhaps we could laugh at ourselves. Perhaps we could laugh at the concept of masks. I trust everyone will find the way some day. GoDspeeD Christ!
