psychoceramics: Edward C. Reh

[Cosma Shalizi <s--@p---next1.physics.wisc.edu>]

Hi-ho.  Has anyone else run across one Mr. Edward C. Reh  
(a--@w--.bright.net)?  He sent me the following last night, apparently as  
part of some mass-mailing; it's not without a certain psychoceramic charm.

THIS IS BEING SUBMMITED TO MANY INDIVIUALS, AND ORGANIZATIONS. IT IS NOT  
SUBMITTED AS AN INTENDED OFFENSE TOWARD ANY ONE INDIVIDUAL, OR OGANIZATION, BUT  
RATHER, TO BE INFORMATIVE OF ANOTHER VIEW OF BIBICAL CREATION.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO CREATIONIST AND EVOLUTIONIST

1- You are both looking at man through the physical eye.
2- Man is not the physical but rather the spiritual. The body is material
and what we call a bio-structure. A bio-structure cannot be spiritual.
3- The anthropologist cannot prove the origin of man from biostructures as
a dead body contains no spiritual makeup, and man is a spiritual makeup.
4- The creationist is the most wrong in the fact that christianity is
supposed to be an understanding and the knowledge of what makes one human
regardless of where or when a body came to be. And the knowledge of human
cannot be of the physical, as human is one of the two sets of values in the
makeup of God, and the makeup of God is the mentalities of human and
inhuman (man and animal).

FIRST THERE WAS THE PHYSICAL AND THEN THE SPIRITUAL (apostles)

1- at one time the universe contained one thing, material.
2- The material became divided into solids, liquids and gases.
3- From the solids, liquids and gases formed bio-chemicals.
4- The bio-chemicals formed two bio-forms, the inanimate (plants), and the
animate (that which has self movement).
5- The inanimates and the animates became into many forms, and the animates
divided onto basic two kinds, the predeter and the grazer.
6- At the time during the forming of the animates there also formed a
brain, and within the brain was formed a being of the spiritual, and then
the universe contained only two things, the material and the spiritual.
Even to this very day the universe contains only two things, the material
and the spiritual and nothing else.
7- When a being is formed it is formed in all things humane and inhumane in
one singular entity. From the humane is man and from the inhumane is the
animal.
8- And it became that the power of comprehension came upon a certain kinds,
and from the comprehension they became enlightened and began to understand
the makeup of their spirit (person)
9- And according to their enlightenment they saw the contents of their
persons, and elected to put aside the part that was the animal mind, and in
so doing became man. This very process is what is creation in the bible.
10- It is submited to you by the Alpha Guardians that creation in the bible
is not the making of anything material. Creation is the making of adam and
is the seven spirits of God. God made man in his own image and likness and
god is spiritual therefore man is spiritual. And christianity is supposed
to return one's person to the likeness of adam as christ is adam the second
thus making christ and adam one and the same kind of person. (The apostle
mentions) THOSE INVISIBLE THINGS OF CREATION WHICH CAN BE CLEARLY SEEN. If
creation is invisible then it is spiritual as the spiritual cannot be
directly seen by the physical eye.
11- There are only two possible ways of being in the universe, man or
animal.
12- Man and/or animal are nothing more than a relationship each of it's own
kind with others. It cannot be a kind of body. The bodies of an elephant
and a monkey are different but the spirit is the same, what makes them
animals is that their social structure is of animal traits, so as,
domination, superiorty, recognition through the physical and material,
force and counterforce, greaters and lessors.
13- There are only two possible kinds of societies, man and animal.
14- Intellegence and comprehension are not human or animal traits, but
rather a neutral compulatory process that can be applied to either or both.
15- Intellegence is not a human society.
16- All present societies on the planet today are constructed on animal
traits.

CREATION

1- In the begining God created the Spirit and the soul, and the soul was
without form and void (not formed as man) and ignorance was upon the face
of the mind, and the power of God stirred upon the mind and god said let
there enlightenment And they became enlightened. and god saw the
enlightenment that it was good, and God called the light understanding, and
the knowledge of man and animal was the first knowing.

2- And god said let there be a condition in the midst of the mind, and let
it divide one state of mind from the other state of mind, and God set the
conditions and divided the mind which was under the conditions (man) from
the condition which is above the conditions (animal mentality) and it was
so. And God called the conditions happiness, and the knowledge of man and
animal was the second knowing.

3- And god said, let the human mentality be gathered into one
understanding, and let belief be so, and God called the belief human soul
and the gathering together of the mind he called knowledge (the knowing of
human traits), and god said let the soul bring forth humility, and all good
things of man, and let man be tall above all other beings.

4- And God said, let the knowledge of being man divide the enlightenment
from the ignorance, and God made the enlightenment to control ones-self in
the likeness of the humane and let it rule over the animal.

5- And god said, let the mind bring forth great emotioms (love) and thought
and let good will abound amidst mankind, and let thoughts multilpy to calm
the soul.

6- And god said let us make man in our image and likeness and let him have
dominion over his thoughts and feelings and emotions.and it was so.

7- And when man was complete he was at rest (peace of mind).(he was no
longer animal).


In true christianity there is no argument in physical terms, you are all
persueing a course of no result. No one will be saved on account of the
fact that dinosaurs are this or that, or when they were or weren't, the
bible is information of spiritual nature and it's condition not the
physical condition. 


Your arguments are evidence that you only care to discern the material not
the spiritual. Christianity is a return to "being" man rather than animal
which happened in the fall of man. If there are only two possible
mentalities (man and animal) then the fall of man can only be a return to
animal relations between one another as is evedent to this day. You are all
to much into body, there can be no such thing as a human body, only the
spiritual can be human.
