What We Believe

A Priori:

The universe of material existence is bound
by forces. Animate life is found through
the attributes of form and volition. These
two alone qualify an entity's person.

The Science

Because of man's documented history and
Because of his formal relationship to the
animal, man has a dual form--one aspect,
the baser, related to the animal, one aspect,
the LORD related to an entity, a supreme
reason for man's higher form, we call GOD.

Since man cannot be God, his animal form
can possibly overshadow his LORD and, in
fact, history shows that man is capable
of most horrendous, the most animalistic
cruelty--malevolence of the natural
bent, and all for base lusts. Some of
us peer into the minds of these who confound
humanity's common shared interest and
wonder. And soon we conclude that it must
be true, that we are, aggregationally,
more animal than human. So, these... names
that find themselves associated with a Supreme
Deity, however they came to persist in our time,
represent our specie's will to survive, to
beat the curve of animality and embrace
the higher... reason for the mind. Why
does the mind exist if not for the highest
and noblest ideals?

In certain institutions, they have a ritual.
It is a science course, but it is in the form
of a ritual because there are constrained responses.
You will understand.

First, they tell the new Cadet, "man is a fallen species."
Then they give the Cadet two hours to order the implications
of that foundational characteristic of man in order of relevance.

The Cadet more often than not concludes that the most relevant
piece of information relative to man's status as a more animal
than higher species is that if man had the ability to kill himself,
he would.

"Man has the ability to kill himself" the Cadet and the Student agree.
"Therefore," the Admiral enters,
"Man will."

He means it.

Man will kill himself. You don't believe it? Look around you, sir.
Look around you. Man has the ability to kill himself, therefore man
will. It is why we invent a frame of reference to weight heavily
on the conscience of a person. It is why we sit atop high and heavenly
towers and whisper with the ocean. Man, sir, is an animal.


If there is any salvation, it is the wonder--how is it that we are so like
the gorilla, and yet we have Motzart and Wagner? THAT's the question.
THAT's what leads men of nobility into the arts, searching for the answer
to the Bethoveen's Fifth, in the era when men would rape women to emasculate
their husband slaves. Why do we have Bethoveen's Fifth and Slavery? These,
these are true mysteries. For once you agree that man is a fallen species,
for he is capable of inhuman cruelties, you marvel all the more at these..
these precious... Children of God. More and more, the reason for a higher
self, becomes obvious. God... a Supreme deity differentiated perhaps
from us in the way we differentiate from a gorilla? And YES, God MUST
love MOTZART... and the wind is evidence of this... if you would hear
the whisper of God you would know that he was whistling a tune of
such... noble aspirations.... so that Satan, the beast in man, does
no longer test the mystery of the pharaohs....

The timetable for man's destruction is known as the Book of Life,
and as many as have their names written in the book of life...
are adjudged by God to have therefore been...

"...the Sons of God..."
"....(and daughters?
("..?I didn't add that...
