Feel free to share these Public Domain quotes with your friends and relatives. The whole series to date is available by clicking the link here below to start perusing the many pages. New Readers here should start at the first page - on to not become confused.]IntroductionThis is the beginning of the narrative of the long, long forward struggle of the human species [a nearly one million year history of mankind on Earth] from a status that was little better than an animal existence, through the intervening ages, and down to the later times when a real, though imperfect, civilization had evolved among the higher races of mankind.Civilization is a racial acquirement; it is not biologically inherent; hence must all children be reared in an environment of culture, while each succeeding generation of youth must receive anew its education. The superior qualities of civilization -- scientific, philosophic, and religious -- are not transmitted from one generation to another by direct inheritance. These cultural achievements are preserved only by the enlightened conservation of social inheritance. [education, from cradle to grave here, must be vastly improved !]Social evolution of the co-operative order was initiated by the Dalamatia teachers, and for three hundred thousand years mankind was nurtured in the idea of group activities. The blue man most of all profited by these early social teachings, the red man to some extent, and the black man least of all. In more recent times the yellow race and the white race have presented the most advanced social development on Earth. [eventually there will be one mixed race -- close in skin color to the present three "white races"]1. PROTECTIVE SOCIALIZATIONWhen brought closely together, men often learn to like one another, but primitive man was not naturally overflowing with the spirit of brotherly feeling and the desire for social contact with his fellows. Rather did the early races learn by sad experience that "in union there is strength"; and it is this lack of natural brotherly attraction that now stands in the way of immediate realization of the brotherhood of man on Earth. [We all are now actually brothers and sisters in our Creator Father-Son Jesus Christ Michael and in His Creative (Holy) Spirit Partner. Thus in our two Creator Deities are the fullness of God the Trinity here to us ! Three in Two as One in Spirit here ! More on this later.]Association early became the price of survival. The lone man was helpless unless he bore a tribal mark which testified that he belonged to a group which would certainly avenge any assault made upon him. Even in the days of Cain it was fatal to go abroad alone without some mark of group association. Civilization has become man's insurance against violent death, while the premiums are paid by submission to society's numerous law demands.Primitive society was thus founded on the reciprocity of necessity and on the enhanced safety of association. And human society has evolved in agelong cycles as a result of this isolation fear and by means of reluctant co-operation.Primitive human beings early learned that groups are vastly greater and stronger than the mere sum of their individual units. One hundred men united and working in unison can move a great stone; a score of well-trained guardians of the peace can restrain an angry mob. [any whole system is greater than the mere sum of its parts] And so society was born, not of mere association of numbers, but rather as a result of the organization of intelligent co-operators. But co-operation is not a natural trait of man; he learns to co-operate first through fear and then later because he discovers it is most beneficial in meeting the difficulties of time and guarding against the supposed perils of eternity.The peoples who thus early organized themselves into a primitive society became more successful in their attacks on nature [God has called mankind to subdue nature with wise science and applied advancing technologies] as well as in defense against their fellows; they possessed greater survival possibilities; hence has civilization steadily progressed on Earth, notwithstanding its many setbacks. And it is only because of the enhancement of survival value in association that man's many blunders have thus far failed to stop or destroy human civilization.That contemporary cultural society is a rather recent phenomenon is well shown by the present-day survival of such primitive social conditions as characterize the Australian natives and the Bushmen and Pygmies of Africa. Among these backward peoples may be observed something of the early group hostility, personal suspicion, and other highly antisocial traits which were so characteristic of all primitive races. These miserable remnants of the nonsocial peoples of ancient times bear eloquent testimony to the fact that the natural individualistic tendency of man cannot successfully compete with the more potent and powerful organizations and associations of social progression. These backward and suspicious antisocial races that speak a different dialect every forty or fifty miles illustrate what a world you might now be living in but for the combined teaching of the corporeal staff of the Planetary Prince and the later labors of the Adamic group of racial uplifters. [One universal English language is vital to a progressive planet ! Do not go backwards ! Demand English only worldwide ! All large airports now MUST speak English only for safety ! That is good progress.]The modern phrase, "back to nature," is a delusion of ignorance, a belief in the reality of the onetime fictitious "golden age." The only basis for the legend of the golden age is the historic fact of Dalamatia and Eden. But these improved societies were far from the realization of utopian dreams. [Back to the planning of more nuclear fission and fusion power planets and drilling for oil; "back to nature" will destroy any major countries on Earth ! Count the cost of retrogression and immorality !]2. FACTORS IN SOCIAL PROGRESSIONCivilized society is the result of man's early efforts to overcome his dislike of isolation. But this does not necessarily signify mutual affection, and the present turbulent state of certain primitive groups well illustrates what the early tribes came up through. But though the individuals of a civilization may collide with each other and struggle against one another, and though civilization itself may appear to be an inconsistent mass of striving and struggling, it does evidence earnest striving, not the deadly monotony of stagnation.While the level of intelligence has contributed considerably to the rate of cultural progress, society is essentially designed to lessen the risk element in the individual's mode of living, and it has progressed just as fast as it has succeeded in lessening pain and increasing the pleasure element in life. Thus does the whole social body push on slowly toward the goal of destiny -- extinction or survival -- depending on whether that goal is self-maintenance or self-gratification. Self-maintenance originates society, while excessive self-gratification destroys civilization. [Note well this WARNING ! Many times more, it will be covered in depth -- especially on the later coming three important Papers on Home-Family-Marriage-Children !]Society is concerned with self-perpetuation, self-maintenance, and self-gratification, but human self-realization is worthy of becoming the immediate goal of many cultural groups. [Each human must be educated by God and advanced humans that each human being is now a Divinely Beloved Son of God in Jesus Christ !! DIVINE-Human Rights must soon supercede mere secular humanistic "human rights." or societies will collapse.]The herd instinct in natural man is hardly sufficient to account for the development of such a social organization as now exists on Earth. Though this innate gregarious propensity lies at the bottom of human society, much of man's sociability is an acquirement. Two great influences which contributed to the early association of human beings were food hunger and sex love; these instinctive urges man shares with the animal world. Two other emotions which drove human beings together and held them together were vanity and fear, more particularly ghost fear.History is but the record of man's agelong food struggle. Primitive man only thought when he was hungry; food saving was his first self-denial, self-discipline. With the growth of society, food hunger ceased to be the only incentive for mutual association. Numerous other sorts of hunger, the realization of various needs, all led to the closer association of mankind. But today society is top-heavy with the overgrowth of supposed human needs. Occidental civilization of the twentieth century groans wearily under the tremendous overload of luxury and the inordinate multiplication of human desires and longings. Modern society is enduring the strain of one of its most dangerous phases of far-flung interassociation and highly complicated interdependence. [selfishness and anti-social behaviors are now worse in the 21st century ! Much education is needed to turn things backs to sanity and Godliness !]Hunger, vanity, and ghost fear were continuous in their social pressure, but sex gratification was transient and spasmodic. The sex urge alone did not impel primitive men and women to assume the heavy burdens of home maintenance. The early home was founded upon the sex restlessness of the male when deprived of frequent gratification and upon that devoted mother love of the human female, which in measure she shares with the females of all the higher animals. The presence of a helpless baby determined the early differentiation of male and female activities; the woman had to maintain a settled residence where she could cultivate the soil. And from earliest times, where woman was has always been regarded as the home.Woman thus early became indispensable to the evolving social scheme, not so much because of the fleeting sex passion as in consequence of food requirement; she was an essential partner in self-maintenance. She was a food provider, a beast of burden, and a companion who would stand great abuse without violent resentment, and in addition to all of these desirable traits, she was an ever-present means of sex gratification.Almost everything of lasting value in civilization has its roots in the family. The family was the first successful peace group, the man and woman learning how to adjust their antagonisms while at the same time teaching the pursuits of peace to their children.The function of marriage in evolution is the insurance of race survival, [requiring ONE man and ONE woman united in marriage to cocreate more sons of God for our Father !!!] not merely the realization of personal happiness; self-maintenance and self-perpetuation are the real objects of the home. Self-gratification is incidental and not essential except as an incentive insuring sex association. Nature demands survival, but the arts of civilization continue to increase the pleasures of marriage and the satisfactions of family life.If vanity be enlarged to cover pride, ambition, and honor, then we may discern not only how these propensities contribute to the formation of human associations, but how they also hold men together, since such emotions are futile without an audience to parade before. Soon vanity associated with itself other emotions and impulses which required a social arena wherein they might exhibit and gratify themselves. This group of emotions gave origin to the early beginnings of all art, ceremonial, and all forms of sportive games and contests.Vanity contributed mightily to the birth of society; but at the time of these revelations [around AD1935] the devious strivings of a vainglorious generation threaten to swamp and submerge the whole complicated structure of a highly specialized civilization. Pleasure-want has long since superseded hunger-want; the legitimate social aims of self-maintenance are rapidly translating themselves into base and threatening forms of self-gratification. Self-maintenance builds society; unbridled self-gratification unfailingly destroys civilization. [It is urgent to vote for marriage to be one man and one woman united in a home to raise children; nothing else will save society ! Much more on this later here !]3. SOCIALIZING INFLUENCE OF GHOST FEARPrimitive desires produced the original society, but ghost fear held it together and imparted an extrahuman aspect to its existence. Common fear was physiological in origin: fear of physical pain, unsatisfied hunger, or some earthly calamity; but ghost fear was a new and sublime sort of terror.Probably the greatest single factor in the evolution of human society was the ghost dream. Although most dreams greatly perturbed the primitive mind, the ghost dream actually terrorized early men, driving these superstitious dreamers into each other's arms in willing and earnest association for mutual protection against the vague and unseen imaginary dangers of the spirit world. The ghost dream was one of the earliest appearing differences between the animal and human types of mind. Animals do not visualize survival after death.Except for this ghost factor, all society was founded on fundamental needs and basic biologic urges. But ghost fear introduced a new factor in civilization, a fear which reaches out and away from the elemental needs of the individual, and which rises far above even the struggles to maintain the group. The dread of the departed spirits of the dead brought to light a new and amazing form of fear, an appalling and powerful terror, which contributed to whipping the loose social orders of early ages into the more thoroughly disciplined and better controlled primitive groups of ancient times. This senseless superstition, some of which still persists, prepared the minds of men, through superstitious fear of the unreal and the supernatural, for the later discovery of "the fear of the Lord which is the beginning of wisdom." The baseless fears of evolution are designed to be supplanted by the awe for Deity inspired by revelation. [Now we have the Eternal Revelation of Jesus Christ to "Fear not !" "Be of good cheer." "My son, I AM with you always." "Peace and progress in Spirit and in Truth."] The early cult of ghost fear became a powerful social bond, and ever since that far-distant day mankind has been striving more or less for the attainment of spirituality.Hunger and love drove men together; vanity and ghost fear held them together. But these emotions alone, without the influence of peace-promoting revelations, are unable to endure the strain of the suspicions and irritations of human interassociations. Without help from superhuman sources the strain of society breaks down upon reaching certain limits, and these very influences of social mobilization -- hunger, love, vanity, and fear -- conspire to plunge mankind into war and bloodshed.The peace tendency of the human race is not a natural endowment; it is derived from the teachings of revealed religion, from the accumulated experience of the progressive races, but more especially from the teachings of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.

Art Above: A painting of Jesus Christ in Glory by Arnold P. Alderite,international scholar, artist and Christian, copyright 2003 When Jesus had finished his earth life, this name of the Father had been so revealed that the Master, who was the Father incarnate, could truly say:I AM the Bread of Life.I AM the Living Water.I AM the Light of the world.I AM the Desire of all ages.I AM the Open Door to eternal salvation.I AM the Reality of endless life.I AM the Good Shepherd.I AM the Pathway of Infinite perfection.I AM the Resurrection and the Life.I AM the Secret of eternal survival.I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life.I AM the Infinite Father of my finite Children.I AM the True Vine; You are the Branches.I AM the Hope of all who know the Living Truth.I AM the Living Bridge from one world to another.I AM the Living Link between time and eternity.Thus did Jesus enlarge the Living Revelation of the name of God to all generations. As Divine love reveals the nature of God, eternal Truth discloses His Name in ever-enlarging proportions.From sacred personal spiritual experiences in God and in Jesus, in 1977 and forevermore, Brother Dave adds these ongoing truths:I AM the Universal Father of infinite love.I AM the Eternal Son of saving grace and lavish mercy.I AM the Holy Father-Son-Spirit of Truth of unending Ministry to all.I AM One in Spirit upon all Humans; You each and all are now called to be One Brotherhood in Me.I AM Your Father; You are My Beloved Son ...Thank You, my God and Father-Son Jesus, for coming way down here, from Your Eternal, Divine Perfection Spheres of Glory, to briefly Incarnate as an nearly obscure "Babe of Bethlehem" -- to surely (eventually) bring us all into Your True and Pure Light and Life !Thank You for the Gift of final Paradise peace - even Your peace ...

(Miracle #32)My Sermon this GOD's Day/Sunday is based on the sequential, Divine Miracle #32,"Granting Sight to Blind Bartimaeus!" My title, "Doubters Ignore the Facts!" maybe forced induced, from years of doubters always lying or inserting some excuse that 'gives them the 'right' to not Believe.'As the modern 'hip' expression says, "Hey Clyde you HAVE the Right to Believeor not Believe." But when 10,000 Witnesses see Jesus CHRIST, Grant sight to a blind Man. Don't say that is not True; because the Man is not "proven'/documented as toexisting at all or not identified. Per the "NEW TESTAMENT", quoting EYEWITNESSApostle Mark, chapter 10, verses 46 - 52"And they came to Jericho. And as Jesus was leaving Jericho with His Disciples and a great crowd (10,000 +/-), Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, the Son of Timaeus was sitting by the roadside. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, hebegan to cry out (Pray) "Son of David (REALLY GOD), have mercy on me!" Andmany (standing near him) rebuked him to be silent. But he cried out (Prayed) all the more, "Son of David (REALLY GOD) have mercy on me!"And Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." And they called the blind Man, sayingto him, "Take heart. Get up; he is calling you!" And throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. And Jesus said to him, "What do you want Me to do for you?" And the blind Man said to Jesus, "Rabbi, let me recover my sight!" And Jesus said to him,"Go your way; your Faith has made you well."And immediately he recovered his sight and followed Jesus on the way."Anyone can believe whatever they want; however, it appears to me, that with10,000 +/- Witnesses, the blind man identified and the Divine Miracle documented,I have to Believe!Preacher Doc, who suggests, "Protect your Rights!"If you have any doubt, any question, do not hesitate to E-mail Teacher-Brother Dave hereE-mail: truthist (at) att.net (Use @ for at, and no spaces)"QUESTION of the WEEK and ANSWERS" (Q & A)QUESTION: I see and hear a lot of talk that Jesus was married and had brothersand sisters. Is that true?ANSWER by Preacher Doc: Until lately, I never would take the time or have theinterest to answers such questions ! In my opinion, if a priest seduces a womenON THE ALTAR ! Is he committing a sin? (Morality question) I'M NOT GOD, AND DO NOT "PLAY GOD!"Therefore, regardless of how GOD, not you or I, Judges that Priest, or Minister,or Rabbi or Whatever Religious Preacher, HOW DOES THAT CHANGE JESUS TheCHRIST's AT LEAST 40 DIVINE MIRACLES!? I have all I can do to try to Save mySoul with reading, comprehending and Administering Jesus CHRIST's, 40 DivinePROOFS ! I have neither the time nor interest to stray from that Belief, that Goal!ANSWER by Teacher-Brother Dave: Preacher Doc is fully correct that teaching and practicing Jesus' spiritualGospel of personally realizing eternal life in the Light and Love of our Father God is the number one priority ! Then,moral and social and political teachings are all less a priority than this number One priority of Gospel (Good News) preaching-teaching. Jesus was not just 100% Man; He was and is 100% GOD and 100% Man as One Divine-Human Perfect Personality ! Jesus always did and does God's will and fully knew that He could not have children ! IF Jesus did marry and have children,(impossible of course !) then all of those children would have been fully INVISIBLE and not on this lower human cosmic plane of Reality ! Yes, our Master Jesus Incarnate did have younger brothers and sisters in this order of birth after Jesus: James, Miriam, Joseph, Simon, Martha, Jude, Amos, and Ruth the last child of Joseph and Mary which was born when Jesus was age 14. Thus our GODMAN JESUS did have, when Incarnate here, eight fully human (normal) brothers and sisters. Jesus had the extra responsibility of Father to this large family when the human father Joseph suddenly died in a construction accident when Jesus was age 14 or 15.Preacher Doc's Weekly Poem, Aug 21, 2008:"Miracle of granting Bartimeus sight!"Jesus was passing through Jericho.Blind Bartimeus shouted a Praying hello!Some tried to silence him as a begging bore.However, blind Bartimeus shouted the more!Jesus CHRIST asked blind Bartimeus his request?Bartimeus Prayed, "To be able to see like the rest!"CHRIST said, Receive your sight, your Faith has Saved thee,"Bartimeus then could see! And Praised CHRIST's Divine Glory!Preacher Doc, who suggests, "Believing Christiansdo help each other obtain Eternal Paradise!"CURRENT NEWS ISSUES OF SPIRITUAL IMPORTANCETHERE ARE NO "END TIMES" ! See Eph 3:21 Glory to God and Jesus ! "World without end". And several places in the Bible where it states that God has established this world in his loving care; and this earth shall abide forever ! This is the planet upon which our Creator Son of God Jesus Christ won unconditional Sovereignty here in this universe of his making !Only false human beliefs here are having sudden "end times". The end of errors and fears is now at hand !NO "APOCALYPSE" ! (in the sense of bad things here to happen) There are just ever continuing epochal- and auto-Revelations by He the Spirit of Truth WHO IS JESUS always here in Spirit upon all humans worldwide ! See John 16:7-16NO "ARMAGEDDON" In Jesus IT IS FINISHED ! See Rev 21:3-7 and others. JESUS WON in AD30 and forevermore !This word "armageddon" only appears one time in the Bible; and Jesus never mentioned that ! Actually, about 300,000 years ago,there was a local battle in N. Africa, named "armageddon" that did destroy two races of mankind there over 95%. But thenumber of humans on this planet and in this large universe continues to steadly increase -- to infinity -- no problem; asGod is Infinite and His Paradise Home is Infinite in size; and God also has Divine Capacity to support an infinity of infinte sized universes and beyond.
