Increasing and Decreasing Immolations

Increasing and Decreasing Immolations

As we proceeded from our course in Self- Immolation, we advanced to Application of Immolation. And during that point, we continued our travel by examining sacrifice and it's application. We recalled the fact that God does not look highly upon sacrifice which is not applied or presented correctly. The sacrifice which One presents must follow a certain procedure and be in accordance with what is required. An since this is the case, when presenting a sacrifice, there are certain Rules of Application which One should follow. And with this in mind, we were then led to recall that there are four Principles of Sacrificial Application, which help One to understand some of the facts of nature which underlie the workings of Man's world.

The first Principle of Sacrificial Application states, "Immolation is effective only through suitable or appropriate application." This principle reminds us that a desired effect, change, reaction, or reward can only come through the application or presentation of what is known as a "Suitable or Appropriate Immolation." A Suitable or Appropriate Immolation is a sacrifice which is fitting or proper for the solution of a problem. And because it is fitting or proper, it is seen as virtuous, excellent, and respectable. The second Principle of Sacrificial Application states, "Sacrifice is ineffective only through an improper application." This principle reminds us that a desired effect, change, reaction or reward will not come through the application or presentation of what is known as an "Improper or Unseemly Immolation" An "Improper or Unseemly Immolation" is any and all sacrifice which is not called for. And since it has not been called for, it is not suited for the solution of a problem. This type of sacrifice is seen as inappropriate, indecorous, and not worthy of respect. Today, as we continue, let us examine and recall the last two Principles of Sacrificial Application.

One of the most important things that we must continue to understand, is that sacrifice is unavoidable. As long as any individual exists, they must present a minimum amount of sacrifice. This stems from the fact that existing is in itself an act. And if existing is an act, then everything that has being is continuously in action. And if everything is continuously in action, then just by existing, everyone presents a minimum amount of sacrifice. Therefore, whether material or spiritual, through existing, everyone who is in the world, is continually presenting a minimum amount of sacrifice.

Now, in return for presenting this minimum amount of sacrifice, everyone is given the basics of existence. This means that just by existing, everyone is given the fundamentals or the starting point of life. Or, One may say that by having being in a specified place, everyone is given a body. And since there are a variety of places and conditions in the universe, everyone will be given a body under differing situations. There are some who will Start in bodies that are in situations of moderate to extreme poverty. And there are some who will Start in bodies that are in situations of moderate to extreme wealth and comfort.

In respects to their situations, once in a body, One has two choices: First, if One is unhappy with the situation in which they have come to exist under, they can choose to change their level of existence. Through the continued and consistent application of Suitable or Appropriate Immolations, this may be accomplished. This basically means that generation after generation, those who are born in dire straits must Start and continue to apply a high level of Suitable or Appropriate Sacrifice. And through the generations, as they Start and faithfully apply that sacrifice, they will receive positive reactions or rewards. And as these rewards are received, they will gradually direct and transform the course or level of their existence (Heb. 11:6).

Secondly, if One is happy with the situation in which they have come to exist under, they may choose to remain in that condition. But to remain in that situation, they must continue to apply or present a sacrifice. This means that generation after generation, those who are born in relative wealth and comfort, must choose to consistently continue to apply a steady level of Suitable or Appropriate Sacrifice. And through the generations, as those sacrifices are faithfully reapplied, they will continue to receive positive reactions or rewards. And as these rewards are received, they will allow them to remain on that current level of existence.

Now, generally what occurs with those who are born into situations of relative wealth and comfort is the opposite of what has been advised (Deut. 5:31). As the generations pass, they will gradually forget or ignore the type of sacrifice which was needed to bring them to that current level of existence. This stems from two reasons: First, as each generation is born, the previous generation neglects to teach them about the sacrifices which brought them to their current level of existence (Deut. 4:9). Secondly, wealth and comfort have an increased spoiling and corrupting effect on flesh. And as each generation is born into relative wealth, they will increasingly corrupt or degrade. And through this generational degradation, they will gradually and continually cease to apply or present the level of Suitable sacrifice that is required to remain in that position. And so, as their levels of Appropriate or Suitable Immolation decreases, that level of existence will also decrease.

While the majority those who are born into situations of relative wealth are gradually ceasing to present a Suitable level of Appropriate Immolations, the majority of those who are born into positions of relative poverty are doing the opposite. As each generation is born into extreme poverty, they are strengthened. Generation after generation, these are continuously required to make great sacrifices. And through words and actions, as these sacrifices are made, the previous generation teaches the next to do likewise. And as each generation constantly presents a level of Suitable Sacrifice, God faithfully rewards them. And as God faithfully rewards them, their level of existence will increase.

Now, these levels of sacrifice, brings us to the last two Principles of Sacrificial Application. The third principle states, "When Suitably or Appropriately presented or applied during any Stage of development, the need for and the level of desire for Immolation diminishes as One moves towards the Latter Stages. From this principle, we will find one of the most complex problems in the physical universe. If One will notice, it appears that the presentation of a Suitable Sacrifice by earlier generations actually sets up the latter generations for eventual success and failure. This is true. This stems from the fact that as time progresses, the rewards or results of a Suitable or Appropriate Immolation will inevitably appear (Deut. 28:2). And as these rewards are made manifest, they will bring success to latter generations. But, there is a catch. As this success is made manifest and enjoyed, it will reduce the need for great sacrifice or action. And as the need for great sacrifice is reduced, the level of passion or desire for Appropriate Immolation will also diminish. And when the level and the desire of Appropriate Sacrifice are both reduced, corruption and decomposition will be allowed to increase. And with the increase of corruption and decomposition, there will be a multiplication of Improper or Unseemly Sacrifices. And with these increases, there will be a massive System Failure. This system failure is important because it is necessary for progress and it leads us to our next principle.

The fourth Principle of Application states, "When Improperly or Unseemly presented or applied during any Stage of development, the need for and the level of desire for Immolation, increases as One moves towards the Latter Stages." Once again, from this principle, One will notice that it appears that the presentation of an Improper Sacrifice by earlier generations will set up latter generations for failure and success. This is also true. This is because the aforementioned System Failure, leads to the appearance of the rewards or results from the presentation of those Improper or Unseemly Immolations. And as these rewards are made manifest, they will bring relative discomfort and trouble to the latter generations (Deut. 28:15). But, just as with the previous principle, there is a catch. As these troubles bring pain, misery, and discomfort, they will increase the need for sacrifice or action. And as the need for sacrifice is increased, the level of desire for Appropriate Immolation will also become progressively greater. And when the need and the desire of sacrifice are both increased, there will be a time of Great Sacrifice. And when this time arrives, a Great and Appropriate Sacrifice will be given. And after this Great Sacrifice is given, there will be a System Regeneration.
Finally, encoded in the story of Adam and Eve's Unseemly Sacrifice and Jesus' subsequent Appropriate Sacrifice, One will find these two principles in action. After Adam and Eve are placed in a position of success or the garden of Eden, their need for sacrifice is reduced. And as a result of that reduction, their passion and desire for Appropriate Immolations also diminishes. And with these reductions, both increasingly corrupt and degenerate. And while in this state of degeneration, they apply a Unseemly Immolation and fail. With this systems failure, there again comes the need for sacrifice. And as the need for this sacrifice is increased, the level of desire for Appropriate Immolation also becomes progressively greater. And at the End, when the need and the desire of sacrifice are both increased, there is a time of Great Sacrifice. And as this time arrives, a Great and Appropriate Sacrifice is prepared. This Great Sacrifice was and is achieved by Jesus' death. And after it is given, that System Regeneration is achieved through that Resurrection.
