Dear Skeptical but
Questing Friend, Thomas:
We applaud your honest efforts in trying to describe the beginnings of earth
and its becoming habitable for man. Over all you are wrong, but you are right
as far as you have knowledge about the facts of these things. Lucifer and I are
a team assigned to earth. We have just finished a discussion concerning how
much we should tell you and what we should do, if anything, about your efforts.
Knowing it would be useless to deliver you a vision, dream, or personal
appearance, Lucifer decided we should write you this electronic letter to give
you some of the particulars. Even though we enjoy working with the embryonic
intelligence of mankind, and it has brought us much joviality, we have become
jaded, disappointed and incensed over the lack of success with our efforts.
First, if you will search that book of gossip, which you call the Holy Bible,
you will find over and over where Lucifer and I play what you call the good cop
and the bad cop. Sometimes we did it for a joke, and sometimes seriously. But
always we did it to make men learn to think. The other Gods of our grade call
us Lord God and Damn God. Because of the confusion of the authors of your Holy
Bible, you may be surprised to know that I am actually assigned, and am
supposed to be, the bad cop, (Damn God) and Lucifer is the good cop (Lord God).
But, through some quirk in man's intellectual development, he has reversed the
roles and nametags. He has called good, “bad” and he has called bad, “good.”
Man screwed up. That is the only proper and usable English word for it. We
mean, really screwed up – BIG TIME.
The only part of man, which is worth spit to us, is his ever-living inner being
and his brain or mind. So, our plan was as follows: I would make man a useable
and attractive case for his brain and mind designed after our own bodies. I
installed a creditable and expandable brain in his body. You would call that,
“man's hard drive.” Being the bad cop, I forbid man from using this excellent
brain. I came up with this concept of telling Adam some absurdities and lies
and then threatened him with instant death if he didn't believe me or obey me.
Normally, any intelligence would at once want to know what it was that Damn God
didn't want him to know. What was so important? It wouldn't take him long to
figure out that Damn God must be a liar. Why give him a brain and then forbid
him to use it? So, he would check it out and find the claim, the threat and the
punishment to be false. This would force man's development to take off at once.
I guess I am trying to justify myself here. After I gave him his feet, I should
have threatened to kill him if he walked on his feet. Maybe that would have
caused him to think, but I doubt it. He would have learned to walk on his hands.
Lucifer's job was to take what I had made and to challenge man and get his
brain started thinking along the right track. Lord God was supposed to install
some elemental, usable, informational software so man would have a basis on
which to separate the true from the false. He was to give Adam some simple
problems to solve. This would get Adam's mind functioning properly so man would
soon have the information that he needed to separate the truth from tall tales,
and to develop himself and his civilization. I guess you would call that man's
software and programs.
We had hoped man would enter the service of the Galactic Resource and
Development Department at least fifty thousand years ago. It is forbidden us to
write any programs and software beyond the necessary initial ones for any
intelligence in the universe. They must write their own. We call that freewill.
We thought a series of short problems would be all that was necessary to start
mankind on an accelerated learning program, which had worked with other
intelligence. From this challenge, man would discover the information he needed
in order to arrange his thinking and doing. In other words, man would begin to
separate the true from the false on his own and start to grow mentally and
morally. He would become civilized.
Our plan was this. I would tell Adam some absurdities and lies. He would check
it out, find it to be false and thereby develop the habit of beginning all his
thinking processes by honestly doubting anything told him by an authority. I
told him, "Don't you dare sit and eat any of the fruit under that tree
over there, and if you do, I will kill you at once." The fruit was of a
very delightful aroma and very pleasing to the eye. I thought it was the best
thing in the garden, so I selected it to tempt Adam to think. I thought he
would realize he could stand and eat the fruit under the tree. Did he do that? No!
And what did Adam do? He walked around that tree I had damned like it didn't
exist, month after month and year after year. Lucifer said, "By Damn God,
this is not working." So, Lucifer went down in all of his best garments
and glory and sat under the tree. Adam still walked right on by in his pious
self-righteousness. So, Lucifer dressed up in rags like a beggar and sat under
the tree. Adam began to even avoid walking by the tree. But Eve was more
sociable and compassionate so she stopped to talk. Lucifer said he was hungry
and could he please have some fruit from the tree.
Eve said, "Oh, no! God said anyone who sat and ate the fruit from this
tree would die at once."
Lucifer said. "You mean that Damn God, Yehovah? You can't trust that lying
son of a demented Goddess. Here, watch me sit here and eat some of this good
looking juicy fruit you said Yehovah has damned and see if I die. Did you know
this tree is called the Tree of Knowledge?"
"Why is it called that?" Eve asked.
"Because, if you sit here under this tree and think and talk about things,
you will learn about things. You will learn what is real and what is not, what
is good and what is not good. It is like a university and whenever you sit here
a while the professor comes out and talks to you."
"I haven't seen this professor. What does he look like? Will he come and
talk to me?"
"Sometimes he looks like a snake, sometimes he just comes into your mind,
and sometimes he looks like me."
Well, Lucifer slurped, grunted his delight, ate some more, smacked his lips,
and said, "By Me, I see why that son of a low level retarded God didn't
want you to eat this stuff. This is the best fruit in the garden. I know why
Damn God, Yehovah, forbid you from eating this wonderful fruit. He didn't want to
share it, or let you and Adam eat any of it. He wanted to save this tree for
himself, and no doubt, for some of his close and trusted friends.
As you would imagine, this upset Eve because she considered herself and Adam to
be Damn God’s close, trusted and only friends. She never thought much about the
fact that Yehovah only spent about fifteen minutes every evening with them and
of course, never showed up on weekends or holidays.
So, while Lucifer sat there slurping and wiping the juices from his face and
lips, he began to tell Eve that knowledge and understanding of the world came
from hunting the truth of things. To do this you had to honestly doubt what you
were told and find out the truth for yourself. You had to experiment, and even
make mistakes. Only then could you know if some authority was telling you the
truth. He said truth was so important that it naturally took great effort to
find it. But it was worth every bit of the effort. With hard studying and hard
thinking, she and Adam could become like the Gods having knowledge, which would
help them separate the good from the bad, the useful from the useless and the
helpful from the harmful.
Lucifer looked over at Eve and kind of winked. "Now, you take this fruit.
Am I dead yet? Yehovah didn't say you couldn't taste it did he? He just said
you couldn't eat it. You could just dip your finger in right here in this nice
juicy part and lick your finger if you want to.” She did.
"My God, that's good! No wonder he didn't want us to eat it. What's it
called?"
"Well, you have to name it. This is your garden you know."
"Let me have another taste. Yummy! There is only one other thing I like
this much. I think I will call this Humping Fruit."
"That's a good name, but don't you think you would enjoy both more if you
had separate names for them?"
"Let me have another taste. Whooee! That gets better every time I taste
it. I think I'll call it Passion. That's it, Passion Fruit. Do you think it
will be all right if I just lick the Passion Fruit itself?" And before
long, Eve had a nice pile of Passion Fruit seeds on the ground in front of her
while Lord God, Lucifer, explained about morality, life and living.
We gave Adam and Eve three years and three months with Lucifer under the tree
before they began to hide from Me. I was very pleased and so was Lord God,
Lucifer. The good cop, bad cop thing was finally working. They excused themselves
for hiding by saying they didn't have any clothes to wear to our meetings. Eve
insisted she didn't have a single thing to wear. That got started early, didn't
it?
But, the real reason they didn't want to see me was because they knew I was
lying to them. By this time, they had received about a university education
from Lord God, Lucifer, and got to not even believing everything he told them.
They really were on the right track and Lucifer and I were delighted. They were
doing lots of experiments to check out everything Lucifer told them. Eve was
planting Passion Fruit all over the garden. They were ready to get out in the
world and start developing themselves and building a civilization. We might
have rushed it a bit, but I had high hopes for Adam and Eve.
We closed down the garden and talked to them. We told them to never trust what
anybody said, or any God, or any claim, and to check everything out for
themselves. I told them they had seen perfection in my garden so they knew
perfection was possible.
"Now," I said,
"This garden is how the whole earth is supposed to be. You will never
appreciate its beauty and utility if it is handed to you. We have scattered the
seeds from this garden all over the world. You must get out there, find the
plants from this garden, and teach your children to work toward making earth into
your own paradise and garden. That way you will learn to appreciate it and care
for it. After that, you will be ready to join us in the work of the universe.
But you must do it yourself and don't stop until the whole earth is a beautiful
and fruitful garden. If you don't do this, the earth will deteriorate before
your very eyes, and you will eat only by working very hard. And the knowledge
you have learned will slip away from you. You will begin to fight with one
another, and kill each other, and steal from other people, and seek only your
own selfish comforts and pleasures."
So, Thomas that is how it is. That is how it started, and only you and those
like you know what went wrong. There is no place for "lazy or
gullible" in this universe. But the world was too prolific, too rich, too
fertile, and too easy to live in. There were not enough physical challenges. So
all men became lazy in mind and body. The lazy of mind became slaves to the
lazy of body. The lazy of body became slaves to their own bodies and sought to
make life soft, comfortable and abounding in titillations and pleasures.
How and why man decided to become slaves to others and to himself, is no
mystery. Man has it too easy and he is lazy. He always wants something for
nothing. He has forgotten his early lessons. Today most men are gullible and
ignorant. Man's worst problem is that he is lazy of mind and is willing to
believe some absurdity rather than spend the mental energy necessary to find
out the TRUTH.
We are sick of it. Now we are going to challenge man’s mind by allowing the
fruits of his wasteful and greedy life to catch up with him. There will be
disasters of all types, and one way or another; Lucifer and I are going to get
man's butt in gear. We are going to make man honestly doubt ALL authority. I
have been sending absurd and contradictory revelations to man for thousands of
years and he still hasn't learned to honestly doubt these irrational
revelations, nor has he learned to think. Very few have even questioned these
revelations, ridiculous as they are. However, his leaders and their lies and
deceptions will soon cause all men to honestly doubt what they are being told
by their political, religious and business leaders. At least that will be a
start.
So, now you know, Thomas. Lucifer and I are going to take a vacation and let
man figure it all out for himself, or die trying. We may communicate again, I
don't know yet. Lots of luck! You will need it!
Lucifer and Yehovah
PS: You can forward this electronic letter to
anyone whom you think might benefit by it. Again, lots of luck to you and those
like you. Lord God, Lucifer said to honestly doubt everything you see, hear or
read. I guess that includes this letter too. Of course, some things you read,
ARE TRUE. If you don't hear from us, we will be back in a few hundred or so
years. Good Luck!
L&Y.

God, Yehovah
