The Great Human Dilemma: There is a reason and a cause for all things — and this includes why men and women see the world from a different and often conflicting perspective. In the allegorical account of the Tower of Babel it is stated: “Now the whole world had one language and a common speech… But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. The LORD said, ‘If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other’” (Gen 11:1-7 NIV). This confusion that exists among all of mankind has an organic reason that is the result of the Natural Laws which must maintain Balance and Wholeness of Mind across the spectrum of mankind. Thus, not only is their an important reason why different people perceive and understand the world and all things from a different and often conflicting perspective, but it is these very differences that when rightly understood, has the potential to unlock the mind and totally eradicate the confusion of organic human consciousness.
Without understanding the allegory of the Tower of Babel Syndrome and the Natural Laws which cause each man to function from a different aspect of mind — a condition of mind that causes each individual to think and perceive the world differently than the next man (see The Enigma Of The Segmented Mind) — and why the biblical authors warned that it was impossible for men of a “natural” organic mind to comprehend their own higher soul-reality and the Mysteries of the Kingdom of God (see above Fatal Error) — then The Great Human Dilemma is manifest in the inability of men to communicate from the same perspective — but this is even more so the Great Dilemma with respect to a Spiritually Mature person who attempts to communicate his higher vision and understanding of reality to those who the Apostle Paul portrays as being of a “natural” organic mindset.
Einstein, who, like Plato, Pythagoras and other great thinkers, perhaps put the dogmatic dilemma of man into the proper perspective as quoted in the recent biography by Walter Isaacson where it is written: In 1929, during a dinner party in Berlin, someone asked Einstein if he was religious. ” Yes, you can call it that,” Einstein replied. “Try and penetrate with our limited means the secrets of nature and you will find that, behind the discernible laws and connections there remains something subtle, intangible, and inexplicable. Veneration for this force beyond anything that we can comprehend is my religion. To that extent, I am, in fact religious.” Shortly after his 50th birthday, Einstein gave an interview during which someone asked him, “Do you believe in God?” Einstein responded, “I’m not an atheist. I don’t think I can call myself a pantheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn’t know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see the universe marvelously arranged and obeying laws but only dimly understand these laws.”
The word “theology” comes from two Greek words, “theos” meaning “God,” and “Logos” meaning “Word” or Word of God — but when the core principles of Creation and the Trinity is understood, the word Logos means the Mind of God — and is the third-force balance between what is portrayed as Mother/Father God (see Logos). Taken together we have the concept of “knowledge about God.” Add to this the statement by the Apostle Peter as preserved in the Homilies of his disciple Clement that “Hence, O beloved Clement, if you would know the things pertaining to God, you have to learn them from Him alone, because He alone knows the truth. (see The True Prophet) — fulfilling the objective “It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me” (John 6:45 NKJ) — and what we are presented with is the true reality of religion that those who claim to be religious are in denial of. But to accomplish the primary objective of the scriptures and prevail over the Tower of Babel Syndrome, we must begin to understand the Natural Laws that invokes the mass-confusion in-which organic man finds himself immersed. Those who are able to begin to attain a higher level of spiritual maturity, are as those who “…are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages.” And in recognizing the mass-confusion that exists among the opinions and perceptions of mankind, those on the path of higher spiritual maturity, are those who “…dimly suspect a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn’t know what it is” — recognizing that “…the universe [is] marvelously arranged and obeying laws but only [a very few among mankind are able to] dimly understand these laws.” But those who do, and are able to bring the the great segmentation of language and mind together within themselves to achieve Wholeness, are able to fulfill the Royal Law and “…then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.”
In understanding what is being presented, it is important to recognize that when Peter stated that one can live a spiritual life and “…hasten the coming of the day of God” (2 Peter 3:12 NKJV), the only possible interpretation is the fulfillment of the End Times within one’s own mind and being. And the Gospels speak of those who will see and experience the Kingdom Coming within them — i.e., “But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God.” (Mt 16:28; Mark 9:1; Luke 9:27). And Peter portrayed the Anointing (Messiah/Christ) of the disciples as the fulfillment of the End Times Prophecies: “Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning! No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: ‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. I will show wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord’” (Acts 2:14-21 NIV). While the the “…blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord’” did not transpire in the outer world — yet, what is signified in the allegory did happen within the disciples who saw and experienced the Kingdom (second coming) come within them. Since what is portrayed in the name Jesus is the pattern of salvation, when you pick up your own cross and immerse yourself in the Pattern, only then can the Christ come within you. The objective of the Gospel is to Enter In The House with the Lord (see below: In The House). While those who are portrayed as being “outside”, can only be taught in the enigma of parables — because they dwell in a shadow-world of illusions, and are incapable of comprehending the higher reality of their own souls. And this is exactly what is portrayed at the end of the Book of Revelation where the people who dwell under the illusions of what Jesus portrayed as the “outer darkness” ( see Outer Darkness) as being “outside” — i.e., “But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie” (Rev 22:14-15 NKJ). The whole quotation portrays those who have prevailed and overcome, and are able to enter through the gates of what is often portrayed as Spiritual Jerusalem: “Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie” (Rev 22:14-15 NKJ). And the process of “…entering through the gates into the city” is parallel to that of “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it” (Matt 7:13-14 NIV).
