The Kindergarten Way

By Rev. William. Duby, Founder & Pastor, 1945-2001

As I look outward towards the world at large, I am blessed to see the possibility for a better tomorrow beginning today. Although that final frontier of heaven (peace) on earth is possible, and practical, the manifestation of such a paradise is not plausible while ignorance rules the heart of the populace.
Until a spiritual education has been put into place on a world wide level, starting with the moral fiber of the family unit and reaching outward into the communities of the nations; the reality of heaven (peace) upon earth will not become the safe environment needed for the restoration of the soul memory, where the individual does actually realize the practicality of being in rapport with the God of the heart.
So, I can easily predict that suffering will continue in the life stream of everyone at some level, due to the fact that ignorance does cause havoc upon the populace at large and individuals in specific.
Ignorance, when educated, causes enlightenment to take place in the heart of man. Yet, education of the mind before the education of the heart will hamper the soul. What is needed for the safety and security of the planet, and the sanity of the populace, is a spiritual education grounded upon sound principles that will awaken the people by realizing their indivisibility with the God of the heart.
It can be plainly seen that the “god of the mind” is in control of the populace in the modern world. People are educated where their ancestry never had opportunity. As a whole, however, they appear less wholesome, less respectful towards life, limb and property. It is as though the moral fiber is tattered. Hopefully, not beyond repair.
Repair begins when the discovery of the way towards recovery transcends the mentalism of emotional behavior. The individual finds sound principles to be the intuitive insight needed to guide his instincts in a wholesome manner when interacting with others.
The heart of man is downtrodden upon earth because the love of the mind (thoughts and emotions) governs the heart (will and understanding), rather than the heart (will and understanding) governing the mind (thoughts and emotions) for well being. Without the paradox of differences between the spiritual mind and the natural body becoming reconciled, the lower self image will remain in control and the animalistic instincts of man will be impossible to harness, regardless of the amount of law enforcement.
Man, as educated beast, will usurp the rule of law by the devious means of pretending to be law obedient. When, in actual fact, he’s manipulative, because the education of the mind outweighs the education of the heart. Such an education will compel him to become corrupted in mind, where he is mindless without conscience, to bear witness of his soul memory that he knows better and can do better in relationship to himself and others.
Unless man is afforded to know himself beyond the belief of the indoctrinated mindset of his parents and society as a whole, he has not the heart of compassion where the spirit of the law is his respect for the legal rule that schools his heart to remain decent in behavior. As long as he thinks himself wise and prudent because of his college degree or position of prominence, he will continue to go astray, using the rule of law to his advantage and to the disadvantage of others.
If he enters the realm of politics he will become a politician rather than a statesman. He will think more of popular vote than electing to stand up for the Constitutional principles that founded this Country.
If he enters the realm of religion he will become a minister or priest in name only. Doing so without taking thought of the psychic damage delivered upon the congregation because of the rhetoric spewing forth from his profaned lips.
If he enters the realm of science he will become a scientist with a mind lacking insight. He’ll need the evidences of what can be seen or measured rather than the intuitive leading of his soul memory.
If he enters the realm of society where he is looked at as someone with expertise, he will base his judgmental view upon his opinion rather than on facts of life that can become substantiated by the heart of man.
If he enters the realm of the judicial system where he is adorned with the title of judge, he will favor the letter of the law before the spirit of the law that resides within himself for the well being of all concerned.
Have you ever seen the politician that promises everything before the campaign and reneges upon his campaign promises after the election? Read my lips!
Have you ever seen the evangelist preach against the sins of the flesh and play in the flesh after the congregation has gone home? Remember Jimmy Swaggart!
Have you ever seen scientists of different social circles agree wholeheartedly? Nine out of ten doctors recommend...
Well, the same thing goes for the scientist. Some say one thing and some say another.
Have you seen the consistent agreement upon cases reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court? Five judges see the case this way, four judges see the case another way; the next time, three judges see the case differently than the other six judges.
I am certain all have seen people say one thing and mean another. The American Indian has been attributed with saying that the white man speak with forked tongue. I dare say that such a negative trait is active within every race, color, creed, sexual gender and national origin. Hypocrisy is the offspring of ignorance that leads the populace of the world astray. Educate ignorance and stupidity disappears when the honest heart has courage to stand upon the sure foundation of sound principles.
Hell begins when the ignorant man is educated to believe that he is “an island unto himself.” Man, as male and female, is a social animal that must learn to interact with others in such a way that he or she is more of themselves for knowing others. And, likewise, the others are more of themselves for knowing the man or woman. All the education in the world will not prevent the ignorant male or female from becoming like a cunning beast.
Some brilliant minds have arisen upon this planet. Many have been world leaders without the heart of compassion. Look at the likes of Alexander the Great, Napoleon Bonaparte, Genghis Khan, Caesar, Hitler, Stalin, Marx, Lenin and alike. All educated according to the standard of their society. Each rising up, each tumbling down. Each professing to grace their nation while secretly leading their nation to disgrace.
Whether the ambition is called the “Rise and Fall of the Third Reich” or the rise and fall of the egotistical man or woman, the moral of the story is the same. As long as man, male or female, has not the compassionate heart as the leader of their mind, then the mindset will invoke the mentality of the damned to rape and pillage the mind and body of other men and women.
The heartless man will look down at others less fortunate, failing himself miserably in not taking the opportunity to rise above his preferred station, helping the unfortunate to become the fortunate, as the kindness necessary to teach them how to improve their lot in life. Certainly, as Jesus said, the poor will always be with man. Some of the poor will refuse to grow up (mature mentally) whether they are afforded to live the life of a pauper or king. These are the lost, forsaken because they look for answers outside themselves that can only reside within for well being.
Nevertheless, those who have more than others, spiritually and materially, are required by moral decency to give more of themselves (charity) to help those lacking in spiritual values or material worth, heading towards the respectful station of doing the best they can with what they have for Christ sake.
The educated do have the responsibility of properly enlightening themselves by interacting with others for their well being. The doing of such an activity is wisdom, while not doing so is foolishness. Finding yourself in this world with health and wealth, is evidence that it must be used for the upliftment of the unfortunate. Only because you are the fortunate. The fortune of God is in the heart of the people. And the people of God are fortunate in heart when they desire, above all else, to relieve the life stream of the lame, brokenhearted, and downtrodden.
All agony stems from a lack of self worth. It is easy to be a doctor and tell the patient that he is an invaluable asset to the community. He needs only to believe the doctor’s words. This sounds good and well for what is said is of the truth. But, I might add, what has been said are words, mere words. It would be easier for him to believe the doctor if he was invited to the doctor’s home and sat down at the dinner table with the family of the doctor, and enjoyed the companionship of the family unit.
Yet, this would be unprofessional behavior. Well, I might say that was precisely what Jesus taught by His interactions with others. He went to the homes of the wealthy and the poor. He interacted with others in a personal and not an impersonal manner. He kept companionship with the saint and sinner alike. He was with others while remaining Himself.
Jesus didn’t adopt a clinical approach towards people. He treated them as though they were His brothers and sisters. He looked at the people as though they were well and well they became because of His conviction. In the modern world, the doctor examines the patient and according to scientific study of blood, bone and tissue - he declares that the patient will live or die.
Jesus, on the other hand, looked at the soul memory of the patient and rebuked the malady until the parity of the mind and body were once again in harmony. Hence, His patients began to realize themselves well. Simply put, He affected them by having a personal relationship with them. Healing, if effectual, must stem from this mental state of harmony (paradise) if the paradox between the mind and body are to become reconciled for well being.
The environment cannot become clinical. The doctor and patient must become one in empathy, for compassion to release the malady that has the gridlock on the soul memory; each must be in accord with the other. Jesus saw the God of the heart in another as well as He realized the God of the heart in Himself.
The modern world is governed by the modern beliefs of the people who believe government to be the answer to their problems. A government professing to be for the people, that despises itself by caring more about the financial estate of the country than the estate of well being of its citizens - is the problem.
The problem is that the government is corrupt because it is not a government for the well being of the people. If the government was for the people then the government wouldn’t support an educational system where success is based solely upon financial gain, status or position. It would educate the people to follow the heart of conscience for the well being of their internal constitution. The government would demand of itself to be a nation under God.
Separation between Church and State would not be an issue. The State would unite with the heavenly estate of God (Source Spirit) and teach the people by sound principle the practice of exercising their talent, by encouraging the people to become as productive and useful as they can be, according to how gifted they feel.
In order for such a world order to come about the people must become principled by harnessing the dark side of their inherent nature. The dark side cannot become harnessed until the knowledge of spiritual principles are taught to prevent the ignorance of man from overcoming his heartfelt conviction that he stands tall only while in a bona fide relationship with the God of his heart. Once that has become instilled the other problems will become resolved for duty and service will be united.
