Nature's negative rights myths

Barack Obama has become known for his description
of the US Constitution as a bundle of negative
rights, or liberties that limit government from
doing a lot of things that he believes the
government should provide. Since those negative
liberties are designed from the federal government
down through the states, to the individual, those
negative liberties are mostly focused upon limiting
national power.
Keeping with our last post on “Our Sin-Cosmos Demise” the increasing federal power over the history of the United States can be portrayed as the slow eroding of the essentially ex nihilo informational energetics of the nation’s founding. This erosion follows the first two laws of thermodynamics. If our sin cosmos analysis is correct, over time that created stasis will reach a point that without significant increases in thermodynamic informational energetics, the whole process will collapse in a manner similar to that shown in radiation half-lives.
Whether you believe that enviable collapse by that mechanism or not, there are a couple of natural laws that provide the basis for those federal limitations of Obama’s negative liberties. Both natural laws basically find their power from the negative reality of sin, but each law focuses on different ends of our created human spectrum of inalienable rights. Both are found in the first 11 chapters of the book of Genesis.
Since the highly evolved collective elite considers the Bible essentially a book of negative myths of evolutionary history, the reality of their application is beyond the paradigms of their enlightened worldview. Irreconcilable variations exist between the evolutionary millions and billions of years contrasted with a Biblical constructionist need to compress the creation account and mans’ history into thousands of years. However when you look seriously at that debate, creation historical dates are just differing applications of our two underlying natural laws.
The first sin focuses on the individual and is found in Genesis 3; generally referred to as the fall of mankind, and the beginning of the Christian concept of total depravity. Stated in specific terms this is the individual desire to be like God, to know the difference between good and evil and to be able to define our own specific works as good.
The second is found in the Tower of Babel experience and the confusion of the human language into languages. Stated in Biblical terms, which we have no problem understanding, our highest community desires is to work together so that there is really nothing that human abilities cannot accomplish. That is especially true if we are able to evolve beyond these negative myths. Read More...

Things are currently happening in America, that
aren’t supposed to happen. At least that is what we
have been told for at least a generation. We have
been given the story line, if we just do our job,
make reasonable expenditures to keep the economy
moving, and pay our taxes, tomorrow will be better
than today. That reality was said to be true not
only for us, but also our children and
grandchildren.
That reality has changed, and in our gut, we believe that it will be a long time, if ever, before we will be able to accept again as truth, that desire for security. The question then forms in our minds, “Were we lied to, or were our leaders just stupid?”
For the most part, I think the truth is that most of our leaders were just as ignorant as we were. Probably because they were so immersed in the political culture, they were even more enthusiastic. Sadly they also believed that what they were doing was responsible for our successes and hence, just as we did, never really looked beyond the security of their comfort zones.
Now the tendency is to look to those from the immediate past, blame them for the present, and make some boastful predictions that the future will make us more secure. All we need to do is to have hope that this will become true. However hope and faith are not forces, but realistic beliefs in external factors that will bring about our desires. During this last generation, but always present in the human psyche, we have replaced God as that redemptive ability, with our human governance and our materialism.
Coping with these changes I am in the process of redefining a lot of things in my life, and trying to figure out how I can adapt and provide positive guidance to others. In our sound bite — talking points world, one needs to have a handle that fits. Some concise description that you can defend, both in the sound bite world, but also, if need be, as the depth of your being. The descriptive term I finally have settled on is a Redux Independent.

Redux Rendezvous IV

A few years ago while looking for a place to
develop The Creation Leadership Center, my travels
took me to the small hamlet of Loomis, Washington.
Loomis sits in a long riff valley next to the
eastern slope of the Cascade Mountains and west of
the Okanogan River. Today the place consists of a
general store, a few houses, a small church, and at
the time of my visit a second hand store. In the
back room of that store in the used book section I
found a small saddle stitched booklet that caught
my eye. The title of the pamphlet was: “A
comparison of two primitive apples from two
continents” authored by one Vladimir Sekerfreevich.
From the description of the author on the back cover I found out that Dr. Sekerfreevich was a professional botanist and geneticist from the Soviet Union, who had defected in 1929 and purchased a small orchard on the shores of Palmer Lake a few miles north of Loomis. At the time Palmer Lake was one of the area’s prime orchard areas, but today being off the beaten track from the Okanogan Valley its contribution is diminished.
According to the owner of the thrift store, Sekerfreevich was essentially a hermit, who lost is family somehow related to a Stalin purge, but still was well liked in the community and help generously the other orchardists improve their orchards. So I gave the thrift store owner a dollar and purchased the booklet, probably the only one still in existence, took it home and promptly put it away, only to discover it recently while looking for something else.
In his little book Sekerfreevich said that when coming to America he was able to bring a small tin of apple seeds from the research center where he worked in central Russia. When he purchased his orchard he planted the seeds and grew them to the point where they began to produce fruit. Because of the difference in climate some of the seeds didn’t produce any fruit, but one particular tree looked very promising, so he grafted it to other rootstocks and rooted some of the canes. As a play on words he called the apples by the common name Russian Red.
Searching an expanded area around his home, on an abandoned homestead up in the Similkameen Valley near the Canadian border, he found a very unusual apple seedling quite different than any he knew back in Russia, or those that grew from his imported seeds, or any that grew in the commercial orchards in the Okanogan Valley. Like what he did with his Russian seeds, Dr. Sekerfreevich, grafted and rooted canes from this variety, defining the variety as Liberty Bell. Read More...
