If human opinions or human views, including those connected to the subject of earthly justice, are to be spoken of, then one must not expect them to be the same as Divine Justice, or even to come near to it. On the contrary, it must unfortunately be said that in most cases they are as far apart as heaven and earth. In this connection the popular expression “as far apart as heaven and earth” is appropriate in the literal sense. This difference can often be explained as being due to the human intellect, which is limited to space and time and because of this limitation it is unable to recognize the actual wrong and distinguish it from right, because this can rarely be perceived clearly by outward appearances, as it really lies deep within each human being, and cannot be sufficiently interpreted by the rigid paragraphs of the law or by book learning. It is saddening that for this reason so many sentences passed down by earthly courts are bound to be in stark contrast to Divine Justice. We need not talk about the time of the Middle Ages, of the sad times of excruciating tortures, as well as of the so-called witch burnings and other juridical crimes. Nor need we touch upon the numerous burnings at the stake, the tortures and murders which have to be charged to the accounts of the religious communities; and their reciprocal actions for such crimes must be doubly terrible upon those who carried them out, because in so doing they abused the Name of the Perfect God, committing all these crimes in His Name as if they were supposed to be agreeable to Him, and thereby stamping Him in the eyes of men as answerable for them. These abuses and cruelties should not be so quickly forgotten, but should always be recalled as a warning when handing down sentences today, particularly since those who practiced such evils at the time did so enthusiastically, under the pretext of acting in good faith and of having every right to do so. Much has changed since then. But inevitably the time will also come when one will look with similar horror upon today’s administration of justice, just as with our present state of enlightenment we now look upon the times mentioned above in which so much injustice was done. That is the way of the world, and a certain kind of progress. If we look deeper though, we find that the apparently great progress made between then and now lies merely in the outward forms. The immense power held by some individuals, which cuts so deeply into the whole existence of many a man without the one wielding it being held responsible here on earth, is still the same in many respects. Nor have men and the motives which dictate their actions changed very much. And where the inner life is still the same the reciprocal actions contained in the Divine Judgment will also be the same. If mankind suddenly became seeing in these matters the result would be one great cry of despair. Horror would come over all peoples. No one would then raise his hand in reproach against his neighbor, for in one way or another each individual would be bound to feel the same burden of guilt oppressing him. Indeed no one has the right to rebuke his neighbor because up till now everyone has wrongly judged from appearances only, ignoring all real life. If the first ray of Light could penetrate them without them being prepared for it many would despair, while others, who have hitherto never taken the time to reflect, would be embittered beyond words at having been asleep for so long. Therefore it is appropriate now to urge man to reflect calmly and to develop his own impartial power of judgment, which will refuse to lean blindly on the opinions of others but will only accept, think, speak and act according to its own intuitions! Man must never forget that he personally must take full and complete responsibility for everything he perceives, thinks and does, even if he has accepted it from others without question! Blessed is he who reaches this height and weighs every judgment he is confronted with, and then acts in accordance with his own intuitions. By so doing he will not become so deeply implicated as thousands of others who often burden themselves with heavy karma through mere thoughtlessness and sensationalism, or by showing prejudice and slandering, which will lead them into regions of suffering and torment they need never have experienced. Thus they often allow themselves to be deterred from great deal that is really good here on earth, and thereby they not only miss much for themselves but perhaps gamble away everything, even their whole existence. Such was the case with the senseless and blazing hatred against Jesus of Nazareth the real reason for which was known to only a few of the malevolent loudmouths, while all the others, who had never come into personal contact with Him, merely worked themselves up into a completely blind and ignorant frenzy and joined in the general outcry. Just as lost are all those who turned their backs on Him because of the false opinions of others, and who did not even listen to His words, much less troubled themselves to examine them objectively, whereby they might have recognized their value after all. Only thus could the insane tragedy develop in which, of all men, the Son of God was being charged with blasphemy and brought to the cross! He Who alone came directly from God and proclaimed to mankind the Truth about God and His Will! This happening is so grotesque that it reveals with glaring clarity all of mankind’s narrow- mindedness. And mankind has by no means progressed inwardly since then, but expecially in this they have retrogressed even further, in spite of all their other discoveries and inventions. The only thing that advanced because of their outward successes is mankind’s conceit which, borne of and cultivated by this very narrow-mindedness, is indeed its mark of distinction. And it is from this soil, which has become more and more fertile in the last two thousand years that man’s present worldviews have developed with determining and devastating effects, while men themselves, without realizing it, continue to get entangled more and more in their views, thus preparing their own terrible doom. Until now, it has very rarely become clear to anyone how many have attracted the evil effects of reciprocal currents, that is to say, how many, in good faith, have transgressed against the Divine Laws through their false views. Their number is large and indeed many, with unsuspecting arrogance, are even proud of it until the day when, to their agonizing horror, they will have to face the Truth, which is so entirely different from the conceptions they formed through their convictions. Then, however, it is too late. The guilt with which they have burdened themselves must be expiated in a laborious struggle with themselves, often lasting decades. The way to recognition is long and arduous for a man who has wasted the good opportunity of being on earth, and either willfully or through ignorance even burdened himself with new guilt. Excuses never carry any weight in these matters. Everyone can know if he so wishes! He who feels the urge to distinguish between Divine Justice and earthly views in the process of reciprocal actions should make the effort of taking any example from earth-life and examining it with the above in mind to find out which side is right and which side is wrong. He will find many examples every day. Soon his own intuitive capacity will unfold more strongly and actively, until he finally casts off all the learned prejudices of faulty views. Thereby a sense of right and wrong will arise which can depend upon itself because, in recognizing all the reciprocal actions, it will absorb the Will of God, stand in It and work in It. |
Am a young musician with a mission of restoring sanity back into the already insane world we find ourselves in with my beautiful music. However I find it distracting and time consuming to have a girlfriend. Now thinking of all the great men or prophet that brought life changing messages and philosophies they hardly get married so that's why am asking this question, Why marry when Jesus is my role model, am I on the right path? |
slimkhalifa:Thanks alot I really appreciate this |

So today I planned on leaving the house to get something to eat, I put on my nice clothes and I sprayed my cologne ( Incase you don't know what a cologne is it's another name for perfume). I looked really good as I was about to reach the estate gate na so I just reason am again, they don't sell something in the estate so I have to leave the estate and I only visit specific malls so looking at it bike toto and furo (to and fro) is 600 chai omo na so I go back home o say make I go drink garri as I even reach house I saw my neighbor preparing something sumptous usually I use to ask and she brings some for me (due to some parol between us) but the babe don dey see me finish because of food she's giving me, so I just bone am and now am in my bed hoping and praying my neighbor will bring some for me without asking, if not na garri I go drink like that, I kuku don try high small. Anyways I know you are wondering the reason for this my irrelevant write up, well I noticed I don't usually go out again and I have turned to an introvert and I just discovered it's due to Sapa. So how many of you have stopped going out and turned to artificial introvert due to Sapa?

I try to take responsibility for everything that happens to me. On the issue of the guy am trying to evacuate I might be the problem. I am a very TIMID person and a people pleaser someone that finds it hard to dominate people and doesn't know how to say no or hurt people's feeling. I am always trying to avoid any form of confrontation. I always feel it's normal because am shy and an introvert but I just realized this is a menace I really have to curb if I want to go far in life. This timidity and lack of confidence to dominate people is one of the things affecting my music career, I always find it hard to be in control when I want to create a song and at the end of the day the sound engineers do what they like for me. I can't handle people not liking me am a NICE GUY. And if am not careful I won't be able to control my wife and my home. I have decided to use this as an opportunity to change for good and Mark my territory on people. I will go back to that house and try to show him am the owner of the place and he has to play by my rules. The problem now is all these things are sweet to say but not easy to put into action that's why I opened this thread, PLEASE HOW CAN I STOP BEING A PEOPLE PLEASER? |

Catfishing:Explain more |
So I shared here about how to chase away someone from my place. I decided to tell him the landlord has given him one week grace and I was even thinking of how to avoid him when he starts begging but to my surprise the guy was telling me we can't tell him to leave in such a short notice after spending a month and we giving him extra one week Let me hint you about this guy, the day he came over to my house he looked around everywhere and he was like he can't spend up to a week in this kind of place. For someone that has been chased away from 5 different places I was expecting some form of humility but the guy behaves like he's a god. I can't start talking about his attitude and behavior we won't leave here. I traveled home because I couldn't take it anymore and when we shared the news in church today people were even ready to follow me to Lagos to chase the guy. Unknown to me the guys family have a very questionable reputation. I was thinking of Giving him some time but with the way everyone was warning me to chase him I can't again. I am thinking of involving police or army please if I have any link you can give me or any help I will appreciate

[quote author=Ballack1 post=104541768][/quote]Told him already but he looks like he won't leave |
Tajbol4splend:You said it all |
HONESTFACT101:Nah Ogun go chop your yansh ![]() |
Ballack1:That's the problem can't cope with his presence any more |
You all are aware of my moving to Lagos island, I didn't really tell people close to me because I notice something about nigerians these days they have this syndrome known as COMPULSIVE LIABILITY DISORDER in which when they see someone that looks like he's doing well not necessarily doing well persay all they start thinking of is how to get one thing or the other from the person. So this friend of my dad called me and told me his son needed somewhere to stay for a couple of days being someone I hold really high I couldn't say no so I allowed him. It's a month now and the guy is still here, this shouldn't be a problem naturally but let me break it down for you this guy has been chased away from 5 different places so for someone that has been chased away from 5 different places I don't need to tell you again anything about the kind of person he is. The most painful part is everybody that heard that he wants to come and live with me WARNED ME STERNLY against it but mumu me I was saying to myself why are people so wicked shebi it's just to accommodate the guy for a couple of days let me be my brothers keeper. Now I understand better why it looks like people no one dey help. I have left the house for him and went to my town where I will tell his dad he has 1 week to vacate. So what ways can I use to evacuate him forcefully because he looks like he's not leaving My message to everyone reading this is NEVER ABUSE ANY PRIVILEGE OR HELP YOU ARE PROVIDED WITH, DON'T BE THE REASON SOMEONE WILL STOP ASSISTING FELLOW MEN, because now it will be difficult to provide accommodation to anyone again. |

So their is this babe that have been crushing on for a while, we are very close but unto say she get boyfriend wey be correct bad boy, she no fit give me face. So around 12 am this morning I was going through her status and she was sounding like she's heartbroken, na so I try my luck message am then boom like a dream come true she asked if I go dey house for morning for my mind I be like: wetin my masquerade dey do wey him no go fit twerk for morning( it's a Yoruba Adage implying what am I doing wey I no go get time). I couldn't sleep I had to take care of my dirty filthy room and arrange everything, made my ??TV subscription so she can watch Bbn and be comfortable and made sure everything was set. Ko ko ko I heard the knock on my door while I was snoring then I opened the door and there she was the most beautiful thing I ever set my eyes on in a while she came in and she didn't even sit on chair she just laid down on the bed waiting for me to devour her. I guess the reason she came so early was because she was desperate for a break up sex to move on. As I inched closer to her she told me to go and brush and then after that I should get her something to eat she needs the energy. Chaiii I don die today go maaaaaaaad. I brushed my teeth and decided to cook for her that was when gbege started I tried putting on my gas and boom gas don finish oh Lord why today. My mind suggested I jejely go and get her fried rice and chicken but the ijebu inside me didn't agree I was like why I go carry 3k buy food for girl I will rather use the 3k to fill my gas. That's how I carry the heavy gas o. As I reach estate gate everybody just dey look me with surprise because e be like say na only me no get car for the estate so they were suprised seeing someone carrying the heavy gas. Unfortunately the person filling the gas never come " such a lazy fellow he never reach shop by 8" I uttered to myself. That's how I carried bike and started searching for where to fill gas then I spotted one place, gave the bikeman overcharged 100 naira . Na so they call price of filling the gas 6000 chaiii I open mouth but I had to fill it. As the guy dey fill am na so the thing stop ooo chaiii which kind wahala be this again, aboki tell me say " "oga no ves gas don finish make I call my ooga to bring gas from the second shop" that's how we waited ooo and filled the gas. It was time to pay na so them say they no get pos and I no carry phone comot for house. I had to start going from pillar to post as POS people plenty reach I no see any one. na so I enter bike go the nearest bank o. I tried withdrawing money network no dey I had to wait, I saw POS but I already wasted bike money and to waste another 200 go hard me so I waited and after 15mins there was network na so I collect 10k. It was now after 10 it would be too late to cook for the babe again. My mind told me to go and buy the fried rice and chicken but spending another 3k on food go too much again so I had to look for a low budget fast food joint to get 1000 fried rice and chicken. I saw a decent place only for them to tell me it's not ready so I waited till 11 e still never ready. Last last I had to go to the place I was avoiding I bought fried rice 400 jollof 400 salad 300 chicken 1200 and coke 200 making 2500 with pain I took bike of 300 back home. That's how we reach estate gate na so another wahala start ooo the bike man no get 200 change na so we begin find common 200 for like 30 minutes that's how I saw the babe coming outside the estate gate her eyes don red she no even gree make I talk anything. I just quickly gave her the fried rice and chicken and told the bike man to carry her with the remaining 200 naira change. As I beckoned to carry my gas cylinder na so she call her boyfriend estate for the bikeman. I knew her boyfriend estate because I met her there through a friend of mine that stay in the same shared apartment with the boyfriend. That's how I rushed inside and relaxed a bit then I called my friend to ask if the babe came to their building. Na so my guy confirm am o that she's in the guys room that she even brought fried rice and chicken and they are both kissing and enjoying the food. As I am writing this am rolling on the floor in severe pains. Song wey I sing no blow. I come say make I blow babe again I still no see am do. Which kind life I come like this chaiii
