The potential kidnapper or criminal who is standing on this moment of
time called here when this knowledge is released and before the act is done,
is prevented from further contemplation of his crime by the realization that
he will never be blamed, judged, criticized, or punished for this act (and by
the removal of all forms of tacit blame which unconsciously gave him the
motivation and justification), which compels him to get greater satisfaction
in his motion to there by giving up what he was contemplating.
Up until the
present time there was nothing powerful enough to prevent man from
risking his life to satisfy a desire regardless of who got hurt because the
satisfaction of possible success outweighed the dissatisfaction of possible
failure; but when he becomes conscious that a particular reaction of no
blame will be the only response to his actions by the entire world regardless
of what he is contemplating, he will be compelled, completely beyond his
control but of his own free will (or desire), to refrain from what he now
foresees can give him absolutely no satisfaction. How can he possibly find
satisfaction in doing something that the world must excuse, but he can no
longer justify? This natural law of man’s nature gives him no alternative
but to obey it in order to derive greater satisfaction, and will prevent the
first blow from ever being struck. As we extend the corollary, Thou Shall
Not Blame, we will be able to unravel the causes of war, crime, and hatred,
which are deep-rooted and interwoven, and envision how life will be when
all hurt in human relations comes to a permanent end.
There will be many volumes extending this law into every area of
human relation. The answer to the world’s problems will satisfy
Communism and Capitalism, the Blacks and the Whites, the Jews and the
Christians, the Catholics and the Protestants, the rich and the poor, the cops
and the robbers. However, it must be understood that in the world of free
will innumerable wars, revolutions, and crimes were a reaction to various
forms of hurt which did not allow any alternative but to retaliate.
Consequently, man was compelled to blame, criticize and punish as the
only possible alternative when judged by his undeveloped mind. When
those about to fight back discover that they will no more be retaliated upon,
it is also necessary for them to realize that the factors responsible for this
consideration of war and crime, as the lesser of two evils, will also be
removed; and are those responsible given any choice but to remove these
factors when they know that those who they have been hurting will never
blame them for this?
To fully understand the fact that conscience – our
feeling of guilt – was never allowed to reach the enormous temperature
necessary to melt our desire to even take the risk of striking a first blow, it
is only necessary to observe what must follow when a crucible is
constructed wherein this new law can effectively operate. It was impossible
for any previous stage of our development to have understood the deeper
factors involved which was necessary for an adequate solution, just as it
was impossible for atomic energy to have been discovered at an earlier time
because the deeper relations were not perceived at that stage of
development; but at last we have been granted understanding which reveals
a pattern of harmony in the mankind system equal in every way with the
mathematical accuracy of the solar system, and we are in for the greatest
series of beneficent changes of our entire existence which must come about
as a matter of necessity the very moment this knowledge is understood.
Although this book only scratches the surface, it lays the foundation for
scientists to take over from here. The undeniable knowledge I am
presenting is a blueprint of a new world that must come about once this
discovery is recognized, and your awareness of this will preclude you from
expressing that this work is oversimplified. Because it would take many
encyclopedias combined to delineate all of the changes about to occur, it
would have been much too long for a book that was written for the express
purpose of providing mankind with a general outline. It will be up to future
scientists to extend this scientific principle in much greater depth.
As we leave this chapter I hope I have made it clear that just as long as
man is able to justify hurting others, he is not striking a first blow. Before I
demonstrate how this justification is permanently removed by preventing
the insecurities that have permeated our economic system and justify the act
of self-preservation by whatever means necessary, I will allow you an
opportunity to see exactly what happens in a human relation where this
justification is already removed. In the next chapter, l shall reveal how all
automobile accidents and carelessness must come to a permanent end.
Before we move on, I must clarify a very important point. Christ and
Spinoza turned the other cheek and paid the consequences because the
justification to hurt them was never removed, but I am going to demonstrate
how it is now possible to prevent the first cheek from being struck which
renders obsolete the need to turn the other cheek or retaliate. Although
Ghandi won freedom for his people and Reverend King won certain civil
rights, they accomplished this at great expense. However, all was necessary
because we are moving in the direction of greater satisfaction over which
we have no control because this is God’s law or will. At this point, I
suggest that you study carefully, once again, Chapter Two and then discuss
it to make certain you understand that if you find any flaw it exists only in
your not understanding the principles, for they are undeniable.
