Is almost everyone capable of becoming a criminal?

My God, may I ask You. I read an article about the essay "The banality of evil" by Hannah Ahrendt. In it, she describes that the greatest criminals in history were actually ordinary people, and by means of a bureaucratic system and by reasonless thinking, gradually became criminals. She came up with this after the trial of Adolf Eichmann. Would You like to comment on this?

Life is not that simple. Hannah Ahrendt is also quite maligned for her philosophical ideas, but not entirely justified.

Not nearly everyone is capable of becoming a criminal in the situation that Adolf Eichmann was in. And he knew that himself, see the sadness in his eyes from later photos *. Along the way, he knew very well what he had done. And that he was not a victim of his situation but that he had systematically suppressed his conscience.

It is true that often circumstances make a person a criminal.

It is true that often the spirit of the age makes someone a criminal.
It is true that consistently not thinking and overthinking make someone a criminal.
It is true that consistently suppressing the signals of the conscience and the heart make one a criminal.
So much more or less the tendency of Hannah Ahrendt's story.

But something else is more crucial and more important and more the cause of someone slipping into a criminal or an angel.

And that is the place of the ego or God in the inner self.
Who sits on the throne of the inner self in man? Or who occasionally sits on the throne of the inner self in man?. Or who is occasionally invited to take a seat on the throne of the inner self?

Is that the ego or is that God?

If only a single moment would sigh man in all his crime and derailment "my God, my God why have You forsaken me?" and the change will take place, the derailment will stop and the crime will brought to a halt.

And Adolf Eichmann did not, not once in his criminal derailment, and when he got the tendency to conscience he suppressed it and once he got signals he did not listen to the signals grimly. And then you get what we know of Adolf Eichmann's criminal life, of evil incarnate.
In the spiritual world, Adolf Eichmann is still correcting what he has done in his earthly life.

But now I come to My point where Hannah Ahrendt is mistaken.

Adolf Eichmann also once refused to really listen to God in his inner self.

Adolf Eichmann also once refused to allow God to enter his inner throne.
Adolf Eichmann also refused to act once on the signals of his conscience and heart.
And that is not banal.

What Adolf Eichmann did was to listen systematically and consistently to the monkey of God rather than to God. He consistently listened to the devil instead of to God. He consistently listened to evil rather than to the good. And it does not matter that the devil or evil had taken the form of Adolf Hitler.

And after his trial and during his prison years and after his death, Adolf Eichmann has been busy with nothing but this one, with this one question, burdened with terrible all-consuming feelings of regret "why did I listen to the devil and not to God?"

And finally, most people are incapable of permanent and consistently criminal derailment simply because they always once upon a time listen to their conscience or let God one single moment on the throne of the inner self, consciously or unconsciously.

My blessings to you all

Experience the light in your inner self (Light, 1)

You were going to comment on the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of the Light in the world ?

The light in the world, but throughout the year. The birth of the light within you. How does this happen, how are you realizing this, what does this mean?

The hearts of man, their thinking, their emotional lives really can use more light. Light, dearly and in large quantities distributed by the spiritual world. This light is insufficiently requested, received and nourished, why?

Because man is ignorant, because man is a child, not yet a sun or daughter of God. Because man is struggling with his inner forces, because man is torn between extremes, for not God is dwelling on this inner throne, but the ego.
The ego, that wonderful, beautiful, perfect instrument, which is always at the service of life. But .... it may, in its ignorance not dwell on the throne of the inner self, where God should dwell. This is meant to be.

Birth of the light in your own inner world means the Former man is making way for the New man. Means man is growing from being a child of God into becoming a son or daughter of God. Means the will of man is making way for “God's will be done”. Means not the ego on the throne, but the "My God."

At the Former man:
The horse: the body, not listening, instead the ego is slave and the horse is regularly running wild.
The carriage: the emotions dragged around by the horse and his wild trot.
The passenger: the thinking on critical moments insufficiently able to influence the decisions of the ego, the coachman.
The luggage: somewhere in a suitcase "My God" is dwelling , with the lid closed.
The coachman: the ego, torn between a runaway horse, a battered, poorly functioning carriage, insufficiently good communication with thinking and really sauntering about: the ego is labeling this to be his fate.

At the New man:
The Horse: the body, well cared for, but in a good dressage.
The carriage: the emotions, all of which are accepted, not suppressed, in excellent condition, colorful, their influence on decisions is controlled by the mind.
The passenger: the ego, important, cherished, but has no influence on the trip, just looking outside and enjoying.
The luggage: all the energy of the spiritual world, lids of boxes do not have to be opened, because everything is transparent, everything is functional and everything is flowing.
The coachman: "My God": "not my will, but Thy Will be done". Thinking is sitting next to the Driver, everything is accepted and appreciated by “My God”, and respected.

The result is surrender, peace, trust and leting go.

The result: the personality has become a persona, a “mask”, a service hatch for God. A transparent and perfect working instrument, at the service of life, at the service of God.

The Kingdom of God has been realized.

The Light on earth is born in man himself.

I tell you: this is the truth, this may be your truth, every day again.

See: http://watchthegod-english.blogspot.nl/2012/11/every-day-youre-getting-opportunity-to.html
 
Every day you can try this, every day you can try to open up for this, every day you can exercise with this knowledge, every day you can experience this.
Be the light in yourself.

My blessings to you all

Swap your step for a Bike

Would You at Easter like to say something?

In the Christian world is at Easter commemorated the dead of Christ and subsequently his reappearance in another form.
I would like to spread out for your heart, not for your mind one aspect of this whole event.
Christ has chosen his path of surrender especially out of humility, no matter the consequences.
And the human personality can choose this path of surrender out of humility as well, no matter the consequences.
This is My message at Easter to you all .

Man, miraculous being, freedom-loving, inquisitive, enjoying, creative and playing. Know this all is well, and appreciated by the Spirit. And there is no but, this is good, this is sought after, this is the intention.

Besides this: more is possible, much more, you are capable of greater things. You are suitable for greater opportunities, by realizing only one thing: it indeed is a fact, it is the truth, it can be your truth. With all your talents and hard working you are still tied to oneselves apron strings of restriction and smallness and fear.
In short, with the ego on your inner throne there will be always a "but" after your personal happiness. There will be always a reaction on your freedom, always a frustration after your success. There will be always the restriction after your freedom, the restlessness after your relaxation. There will be always an unhappiness after your happiness.
And it is not necessary.

You are capable of more if you are willing to let your "My God" on your inner throne and if you are willing to cooperate with the flow of opportunities and graces and talents.
Forces that can and will be given to you, provided you do this one thing what Christ has done: humility and surrender. And humility to something in your inner self, which must be recognized as the “My God”, God, the ONE.

And this doesn’t need to lead to death of you all and to destruction, suffering and blood. You do not have to go the way of Christ. It would be too much for many of you.
We are only asking you just readiness to renounce your own little will and to exchange it for something bigger, something more powerful, something more valuable, something of more durability than your little will, namely, the Will of God.

Christ knew this from his early years, and has accepted his suffering into the bargain, because the promise afterwards was to be infinitely greater. Incomparably more valuable.

Doesn’t a boy leave easily behind his step when it's time for a bike? Even though he does not know yet how to cycle, and even though he will take a road of hazards and risks and ignorance, but still it will not stop him going his own way.
Take My cheap, but oh so pure comparison to heart, My children. You only need to see that you get a bike if you leave behind the step. Who wouldn’t want this exchange? “My God, the "I Am" is that bike.
You only have to see it, and it is already done.

My blessings to you all

The personality and its tricks (Religion, 4)

Fourth part of a monologue on religion.

I told you in part 2 the nature of man is often underestimated and in part 3 there is a lot of energy to be felt in and around places of worship.
But why is the personality distorting everything? How is this possible?
The answer is short: because the personality is still in the making.
The personality is God's greatest creation, the crown on God's work, the most gifted being upon this earth/planet but in the making.
The personality, evolutionary being, is developing: 

• from beast to spirit
• from earth to heaven 
• from ape to spiritual son/daughter 
• from imperfect to perfect. 

And We, who work with evolution as an instrument for man to grow towards perfection, are stating: We are not there yet. Man, the personality, is still an imperfect creature, We just need to observe the planet to conclude mankind is not there yet.
I want to emphasize two aspects in this matter:

• Nature is neither perfect, it is also in the making, because the apparent harmony in nature is in fact a struggle for survival and eating or being eaten. Nature is in the making as well and many of My next blogs will elaborate on this: how nature rises to a higher level and passes through a transformationprocess too, in spite of all the trouble and destruction.
• Man is part of nature, in the making as well, and when God as creator would comment on you, with love, God could say: how is it possible man has such a distorted way of acting so all what is happening is the opposite of what was meant to be? How can people kill in the name of Christ, the Peace-loving? How is it possible a communistic regime, in the name of the labourers, suppresses them? How can a country promoting and preaching freedom, take away that freedom?

Mankind should become more forbearing, broadminded, loving, reasonable, careful but those are words easily said but so hard to realize. The heart of the matter is man has an inner throne and it should be God sitting there or one of God's servants like Wisdom, Reasonableness or Love. But the free will of man has pushed God away and put himself there and his delusions.
Religious people who want to convince others in a pushy way, do the same. There they are on their throne, believing they are quite something. And thinking they can tell others to believe what they believe. Pride, arrogance, vanity are the reason for their behaviour.

In the word personality you can see the word persona (mask) from per sonare which means to sound through. The personality should be a mask through which God could sound or reverberate, but the only sounds are dissonants and deformations when a personality itself occupies the throne.

 Mankind sticks too easily to his own doing, his own actions, his own concepts, there is so much presumption and this is the cause of sorrow and abuse of energy. Pride is the biggest flaw of man, therefore God loves to see the opposite: meekness and humility. 

 In My next fifth blog I will get into who is eager to help man to sit on his own throne.
The devil, God's own ape, and does so with his sidekicks, his little apes.

My blessings to you all
