Assembly of the Most High

The Book of the Most High

The Seven Divine Principles

Principle One

For God Most High is the first impulse of life eternal. Connecting with God in his eternal nature, understanding his eternal existence, and finding the grace and love flowing from the throne of the eternal on high which grants you the grace to live eternally yourself. This is the first and foremost principle of the ‘Assembly of the Most High’. For in life eternal all other questions and mysteries, in the fullness of God’s good time, become realized, and the purposes you seek in life materialize in the happiness from your eternal relationship, and the fruit of love and peace and joy which such an eternal relationship brings.

Principle Two

Thus, with life eternal fulfilled in your very being, life seeks to order itself according to the divinely eternal ways, chosen by the Most High, for your eternal life. And, in very truth, these ways can seem circular, reappearing time and time again, in the grand circle of life, in which all that you need for the embellishment and fulfilment for your existence will come in the fullness of time, and your eternal happiness the reward for your diligent labours of faith.

Principle Three

And then, having learned the secret of life eternal, and enjoying the regular and recurrent ways of this eternal life, you grow in knowledge and stature and follow your destiny. For God’s destiny in your life is inevitably for your own good, and following this destiny is your life calling and the meaning in which you will find greater and deeper levels of happiness and thanksgiving.

Principle Four

And then, the moral man becoming perfect, the physical man speaks of his hearts desire. And seek ye, I say unto you, glory and accomplishment for the satisfaction of having given your all.

Principle Five

And in great wealth and the glory of rulership as God’s sovereign chosen ones, you realize that destiny and glory are leading you on to sovereignty and eternal responsibility.

Principle Six

And the quiet heart understands things in the fullness of God’s time, and the reflective heart understands God’s purposes and wisdom, and great satisfaction is the reward for those who have patiently kept faith in the one above.

Principle Seven

And at the grand culmination of things God speaks to you and asks you ‘What great plan of life lies in your heart, oh divine and beloved child of God???’

Finding Meaning and Purpose in Life

(For younger members of Assembly of the Most High)

 Life can seem like a big blur at times, especially in our younger years.  So often we are caught up with this or that activity, for fun or entertainment, or to simply pass the time.  And then, adulthood, and all our learning and studying from younger years is supposed to lead to employment in a job, all presumably to earn a dollar, or a rupee, or a euro, and find our own way in the world.  And that seems to be the general meaning of it all - we seek good schooling, a good job, and hopefully, in the end, to make something productive and useful out of our lives – to be a valued and important member of society.  That seems to be what everyone is on about, aren’t they? Yet, so often in this blur, the actual question of who we are as individuals in the grand scheme of things, where we are from and where we are going after all of this blur is finished can, for so many of us, be forgotten.  In truth finding meaning and purpose in life, especially in the light of eternity is, perhaps, the very reason we are born here on planet earth.  It is the challenge set before each and every human being – to come to an understanding of what life is all about, its purpose, and our own very special role in the grand mysteries of the universe – and it is a quest which will never end. Look into the mirror. There you are. At least a reflection of you, anyway. But look at that person. Who is he? Who is she? What do they believe? What makes them tick? Who is that person staring back at you?

 Who am I?

 When we were little kids our major preoccupations were playtime, foodtime and sleeptime, and usually in that order. But then we hit puberty and our bodies changed, and the opposite sex started becoming interesting. And our taste in things changed. We replaced toys for cricket or baseball bats and dolls for make-up and mobile phones. Our friends may have stayed exactly the same, or we may have moved on to new faces, faces which represented ideals we were starting to grow into. You see, as we start growing up and changing from youths to adults, formative ideals we held to as kids are starting to develop more strongly in our lives into an ethos or sense of personal morality - our own set of judgements - which we start to live by and judge others and the world by. And we don't really even notice immediately that we are doing this. And these sets of judgements - these 'values' - start to become how we identify ourselves to the world and define who we are. When we were young we identified ourselves by our family and our position in our family, or orphanage, or wherever we were raised. We had an identity defined by how we fitted into the grand scheme of things. We were male or female (usually), black or white or yellow or some other shade of melanin, short or tall, smart or dumb, popular or nerdy, or all sorts of variations of these general ideas. Yet we knew who we were when we looked in the mirror, even if back then we didn't really have any strong idea of what we believed about it all, apart from a general sense of parent's wisdom taught to us, which seemed to shape our life, even if we didn't really know that explicitly. Yet who where we? Where we even part of where we were raised for the long term? Did we have another destiny in work in our life leading us on to things we hadn't even guessed at? Were we just simple kids, or was some other grander purpose at work? Whoever we were when we were young, we have moved on, and started to learn about who we have always been. Mankind. We are humans, the bible saying we are made in the image of God, so that must mean we have divine qualities. That there is something special about being a human being. Something Godlike. We have arms, legs, bodies, faces. We think and feel. We grow and learn. We love and hate. We work and play. All the things we did as a kid, we continue to do as we grow, yet the things in life grow up with them, and they become 'Bigger' and 'More Intense'. When we start growing up we learn more and more that we are humans - that we have a place in this world defined by all the attributes we knew so well as a kid, and how we applied our talents and our knowledge and our place in the world to the challenge of life, which leads us each day to the level of success in life we do or do not have. Who we are is the person you see in the mirror, with all their attributes - all their humanity - and in their values which they have started to learn, they make judgements which helps them to understand society and judge society leading to how we make sense of all this world we are thrown into. You see, our judgements, our values - our morals - are perhaps the most crucial part of us of all, even if we don't really think that. Because it is God - the creator of men - who looks at our hearts, in how we treat others, in the love and care we show, in the holiness in our morals we show - that judges us and defines the reward or blessings our future is granted each and every day, for the human person that we are as we have grown, who I am, is rewarded just exactly for who or what he or she is, for life rewards itself, and the way you have shaped your values over life and the way your values have been shaped for you, by both nature and nurture, have defined the rewards of your eternity, for who you are is who you are, and it is how you will be judged in the eternity before you.

An Epistle

From St Daniel of 7DF

To Jesus of Nazareth and his followers

To Jesus, in the name of our God and Father, holy Yahweh, Lord of all the Servants of his Holy Covenant.

Peace be with you.

I am reminded, again, that the man of pride and arrogance has little goodness in his future. This son of Belial, who we may well wish would repent, to whom we may be tempted to throw an odd pearl of wisdom, is best left to his own devices, marked down as one to whom trouble will likely come, and when it inevitably does, remember the lesson you have learned in watching his downfall. When said tempests are in our own family, our very flesh and blood even, the heart grieves. Would you have him repent? A silent witness is often effective, but sometimes a fist in the pricks face might just get the message across, with a few choice words on the temperature of hell thrown in as well. In all such circumstances it is best remembered that the brothers from the flock accompanying thee is always a good idea, as there is certainly strength in numbers, and the oft wounded weak oft become the strong, and can lay forth many tongue lashings from years of built up frustrations with the strength of the flock's support. Rebuke away by all means. Only his pride can suffer.

My brother, Jesus, I share this prayer with you and your followers.

'To you dear Lord my God I pray,

direct my paths throughout this day,

and keep my life away from strife,

as You guide me along the way.'

Peace be with you.

Daniel

SERMON SERIES OF ASSEMBLY OF THE MOST HIGH

Sermon One – The Glory Upon High

The Most High God. That is who we come to celebrate and worship. El Elyon – God Most High. I guess, the idea is simple enough. When it all comes down to it, the most exalted and venerated of beings in existence is God. The Lord of Glory upon High. That is who we recognize. That is who we pay homage to. But, when it comes right down to it, what's in it for us? What is the pay off for all our personal soul-searching service to the one exalted far above all others? What is our reward? It doesn't necessarily manifest straight away, because God is patient and enjoys committed and genuine loyalty before he invests. And you may have felt you have made all the pledges under the sun, and still life continues on in its mundane unblessed pathways. But you can't fool God, who searches out the secrets of our heart and soul, and until you truly commit to him and his service, which involves following the rules of the Rainbow Torah and walking in ongoing holiness before God, why would you imagine that he will bless you and call you his beloved otherwise. God need the real McCoy – not a fly by night. So much of the reward, anyway, is found in his kingdom, being part of it, and having access to godly people who will only help you in your life, pray for you and guide you on the road they are also treading to have happy, prosperous, and blessed lives. So much of the rewards is already found in the repentant hearts of the Assembly of the Most High, those souls filled will love, joy and good cheer, who just make you happy being around and who just make you happy when you are in their presence. For that is a fruit of the faith we strive for – happy and content souls, who shine the glory and love of the One seated on the Glory upon high.

Your reward comes in time through service and fidelity, and often before times anyway. But your fidelity and commitment are key factors in the realities God is looking for in your soul which measure how prepared he is to get to know you and how prepared he is to invest his spirit and prosperity into your life. So, in all the glory you desire, in all the wealth and happiness you want, in all the Glory Upon High that you would also have for yourself, remember it doesn't come easy and is found through genuine commitment to God and his rule of law and service. Any other way than total commitment simply falls short and any such commitments less than genuine will only give shallow and temporary rewards, befitting the effort or lack of for which they were gained.

Serve properly, serve truly, serve genuinely, and God will richly lavish his favours upon you in the fullness of time, your testing being complete. AMEN.

Sermon Two – Practical Faith

A religion is a religion is a religion is a religion. When all is said and done, the kosher ones (for want of a better word) all serve mostly the same purpose. The sanctifying of the soul to make them, I guess, more amenable to God and man. 7DF is meant to be more than a religion of paradigms – a religion of viewpoints – a religion of axioms. It is more than a guiding philosophy which influences your thoughts and choices of behviour – it is meant to be a religion with practical results associated with it. Or so I have envisaged as its founder. A religion doesn't have to do that, not necessarily. It can just be about keeping basic rules of right versus wrong behaviour, but the Kingdom of Noah, the Kingdom of God, needs as well those aspects associated with it which stand out in the real world and accomplish things in the real world. Not all of us are go-getters, world beaters, Olympians of Glory, Medallions of Valour. Some of us are far more ordinary in comparison, myself included. But all of us, in time, can rise somewhat in life with experience and knowledge. All of us can improve ourselves and, in that improvement, desire a bit better for our personal situation. And my hope is that Assembly of the Most High, amongst each of the Seven Divine Fellowships, can help its members achieve just that – its hopes, dreams and aspirations. The spiritual food we feed our congregations are foodstuffs of ancient value and understanding. The oldest religion of mankind, the divine religion, the religion of the Rainbow Covenant. On this we are founded and build our eternal fortunes, for it is an everlasting covenant which does not fluctuate with the seasons. What I want to, as head pastor, is bring to this fellowship, and in particular Assembly of the Most High through this sermon, is a sense that there are practical things we can do in life which can also further our situation, practical things which we often know ourselves, but which religions sometimes does not always make completely apparent. At least in my experience anyway. Growing up Catholic I knew you had to, in the end, get a job and seek a family and make something of your life. But the tools for achieving this, the success principles, were not always focused upon in a great way by my own family. But fair is fair, the Catholic school I was brought up in did give me the very necessary education vital for success in life. Potters House, though, in its own way, did more. They are a hands on church, which focuses you on your career in a big way, and following divine principles to access the prosperity available from God for proper service. And its perhaps those practical things I want to focus on. Good reputations, good skills, good qualifications, good experiences. A good name. That is the hallmark and the foundation for all success in life, and those things, while we sort of intuitively know that that is what it is all about, we don't always focus on for the betterment of our life situation. A lot of the time, we may have great qualifications, but with a bad reputation of slovenliness or a poor attitude, nobody will employ us. Conversely, we may be the most spiffing person under God's Creation, but with no hard work in studies, how can we do our job properly? And even with both, if we don't have some hand's on experience in relevant work situations, what can we offer a firm who needs us to get up and go with a project straight off the bat. Success in life spiritually has a point and purpose, and that is mainly one of providing one of those key details for our employer – a good name. But Assembly of the Most High values its members, and we want you to know that there is a focus in life which can also gain you other practical aspects necessary for achieving the dreams and aspirations of your heart. It is about knowledge, relevant knowledge and valuable knowledge, knowledge which has been studied, pondered and evaluated and taken into the thoughts and understandings of our mind. It is knowledge, often expressed through a scholastic education certificate, which shows to the world that we are not only an upright and outstanding hell of a guy or gal, but that we have something within our wisdom to offer the world and help contribute to the successful running of our society. In Assembly of the Most High in our heavenly libraries of books, with the rights I as the founder of this faith have been granted by God, lie our own choices of knowledge, our own scrolls and books of information, which are the data piles of academia our memberships can study to further their own careers and aspirations. We must have, and I am hoping by now is a reality, that AOTMH has schools and universities were our information obtained is studied, considered and taught as well, and that we can, through this, develop our own institutions of success in the real world and, with decent qualifications of practical knowledge, add our own institutions of achievement and work to a world which relies on peoples and associations which can get the job done. Assembly of the Most High lives in the real world also. The pastoral system of AOTMH is there for you – to pray for you, encourage you and guide you and teach you. And they are also there to help you focus on a career, ultimately, and a way of life which will lead you to the ultimate destination of personal fulfilment and satisfaction in a full and active life, one worth living, which also contributes to the real world in an authentic and practical way. We are not just a fantasy – we are not just a religious humdrum. We live in the real world and face its real problems and we assist our members and all parts of our body and those others of 7DF to achieve success, and happiness and achievement in life, which is for the betterment of our selves and to bring joy, happiness and consolation to an eternity before us which needs succour and nourishment from the choices of wisdom which have built its firm foundations. AMEN.

Sermon Three – Motivations in forming 7DF

I know, its all been done before. But when it becomes kind of obvious in your faith that Jesus is not A) God or B) Christ, and if you don't really want to be Jewish, then following Noahide Faith is about your only real option if you want the truth. And because it becomes further apparent that the Pharisees invented the 7 laws of Noah religion, which is ok, but its not ok pretending it goes back to Noah which is a fundamental lie, I don't have much choice other than developing the Karaite Noahide faith concept and, in writing out the psalms and sermons and other teachings of the 7 Rainbow Bibles, doing that simple thing of just trying to follow the right religion with God, which was the whole point in the first place. Just trying to get it right, really. I didn't have much choice in the way God fashioned my life, heart and choices, and understanding of the truth. Just gotta do it. Oh, and I make it pretty clear who is developing this faith and the origin of this faith throughout the Rainbow Bibles. There is no trite teaching that it originates at the time of Noah, apart from the scripture history itself of Genesis 1:1-11:9, that is. Within the Karaite Abrahamism Associative-Denomination of 5DF (The Universal Truth Assembly), there is a far clearer delineation now in its potential membership, which can include Jewish Members and Unitarian Christians and Muslims and Bahai. A Karaite Noahide faith which far more greatly utilises the rest of the Tanakh beyond Genesis 1:1 - 11:9 (which we call the Rainbow Torah) is definitely available and promoted within this denomination of 5DF-UTA. 7DF has 7 Fellowships, each with a unique Rainbow Bible for them. I have spent the last half a dozen years or so developing core Noahide ideas into writings, which I now call bibles, the purpose being to simply teach God's religion to Mankind for those who believe in God but don't believe in Jesus, don't want to be Jewish, and want to follow the Oldest of God's religions for man, which is the Noahide Covenantal faith of the Hebrew Bible. It's not complex what I am doing, resonates with the simple religious desires in the heart of man, and my hope is that it builds an eternal legacy and an eternal congregation which satisfies the demands of God for a faithful and god-fearing people who call upon his name and who walk in the pathways of holiness.

Sermon Four – Entertaining Interactivity

I live, currently, in Australia, on planet Earth (not heaven) in the 21st century of the either the Christian Era calendar or the Common Era calendar. I live in a world were TV entertainment proliferates. On TV currently in Australia (2014 CE) there are a host of FREEVIEW channels, all offering entertaining viewing to keep people in Australia happy and occupied in their abundant free time. We have a standard working day for many of our citizens, here in Australia, approximating 9 to 5, as the song goes, although there are a heck of a lot of part-time, casual and other types of employment as well as unemployed, pensioners and disabled, all meaning TV is a 24 hour reality, and the entertainment and media industries of Television (as well as other spheres of media entertainment) on non stop duty. There is a hell of a lot of work being done in such industries now, not only in Australia, but worldwide. And with the Internet, were on places like Youtube, every Tom, Dick and Harriet can become a superstar through individual effort of promoting something which people might like to watch, the best of these becoming a 'Viral' video, everything is go go go at Channel Entertainment. And that is part of life, which the ancients had also, in their own simpler ways, in all honesty, gathered in the parlour chamber to play cards or knit or chat or the other things they did for entertainment. And that is part of life, when we have done the necessary things to gain our payday cheque, relaxing, having a nice meal, and sitting down in front of the box to enjoy Prime Time TV. And, for a lot of us, that is what we do a heck of a lot of the time anyway. And its a good thing as well. Entertaining Interactivity should really definitely be a focus for members of the Seven Divine Fellowships. Getting involved with something which provides happiness and helps pass the time is definitely something to put in place in your life because if it is all serious all the time, dull work means dull boy. We need to often lighten up. We need to often have a good time and go with the flow. Not to the state of acting in decadence, but when we can have a good time, and enjoy the happy and entertaining things of life, that is definitely a good thing. Shows like X Factor, or My Kitchen Rules, or Master Kitchen, or The Voice, or Australia's Got Talent or Dancing with the Stars or any of the endless variety of interactive shows, as well as Quiz shows, or simply getting involved with acting to star in a Sit-Com or serious drama, or a news reporter, or whatever – whatever it is in the Media, both on TV or Radio or Internet or wherever, these things really are, now, an essential part of a comprehensive and happening lifestyle. They are good things. They are not things of the devil, to be shunned and put aside as Babylonian Prides, but things of life and happiness which have a perfect and good place in society and any godfearing Noahide home. As said, don't get carried away with this stuff, and if the behaviours start transgressing biblical teachings in a major way, you should be the first to pull the plug – literally. But for most of these type of shows, especially at the moment in somewhere like Australia, quality viewing is a delightful reward for our daily struggles. It is fun, uplifting and a proper part of our social understanding. Members of 7DF can and should get involved with these sorts of activities when and were we can, and, further, we should create our own such similar projects also when and were we can. We don't dwell on evil, we don't dwell on darkness, but we can and should do positive things in the field of entertainment because they add happiness and joy and embellish even further this living experience that our Great God Upon High created us to enjoy in the first place. AMEN.

Sermon Five – Charisma Versus Cheek

Perhaps it can indeed be a fine line at times, when your new boyfriend or girlfriend starts exhibiting behaviour which turn the lovely smile and laugh you noticed into a little bit more of a mocking grin and sadistic laugh, or when your new bestie starts retelling an event at work or lunch or something, and they chuckle a little bit too much about a misfortune on someone or a practical joke gone a little astray, or perhaps it is the new member of your social group, who seemed bright and full of vitality but, recently, so you have noticed, they tend to be the ones responsible for all the complaints in the group and endlessly annoying and bugging accusations are labelled against them. It is that point, that you have noticed, when the charisma you had beheld, which seemed so joyous and welcome and truly manly or feminine turns out to be just another in the long line of jerks or bitches you have grown all to accustomed to. Charisma is great, but so many play all their wild joker cards at once, expecting to win every game, and the joke becomes nothing but unbearably predictable cheek after a while and, in the end, really quite boring and offensive. Really, all of us need to know when to call it a day. In the Chronicles of the Children of Destiny, Callodyn and Daniel are often the bane of the long-suffering Ambriel, who is endlessly patient and of good heart. But even Ambriel has his limits. Hopefully, though, Callodyn and Daniel, when it all comes down to it, are not too cheeky, but retain a sense of that charisma in the human person which we can actually appreciate and not grow sick of in its banal repetitious lewdities. Everyone needs to know when enough is enough, and when to draw right back away from the line they may have crossed years ago, especially when the rebukes are becoming more and more apparent, and learn to have a little softer a laugh, a little kinder a mock and a little more humane a jest at someone else’s expense. Try genuine charm. Thoughtful charm. One which you really do care for the other person, and are not simply out cruising to take them out and remain leader of the pack. You need to know when to leave a joke as a joke, and walk on the softer side of life, not so caught up with who is the victim of the prank of the day. Genuine charisma is lovely in a person, and we don't always need to be dry and coarse vessels of strictness and purity to impress. Sometimes, as much as we like the serious side, that can be just as offputting as well. Its about a balance, a lot of the time, for a lot of souls, and often, if you can, having the right souls to act as your foil of sorts, and be that counter-balance which puts it aright, can be exactly what you need to ensure the gentle gaiety of life remains just that – gentle. The class comedian is a lot of fun, but we don't want them around all the time. We want the gentle soul, the thoughtful soul, the one who can crack a joke which is timely and polite, but which can and does draw our attention to the sillier and lighter side of life. Sure, the company of Azrael and Cosadriel is endless fun, but even they need their days off to relax and just be themselves. Charisma, yes, and charm, ok, but keep the cheek under control, and even some cheek, on rare occasions, does bring a smile. But balance the humour out in life, not to any great extreme of the scales either way, and you will find a happier and more content aspect of your living experiences also under control.

Sermon Six – The Wealth of the Members of the Seven Divine Fellowships

The Spirit of God likes to test and to try you, and will sometimes speak things to you to see what is in your heart, even if those things are not completely true. It is the way the sifting of God Almighty works. Yet the spirit has said to me, which is apparently true, that in a monotheism which is legal before the throne of God, the iconoclastic head of the movement grants unto its membership and followers certain intrinsic rights the iconoclastic leader himself owns. And from what the Spirit has made clear to me, the rewards of earthly servants to God in their heavenly afterworld includes the things they have owned and other things they have utilized in their living years on earth. What does that mean? According to the Spirit of God, as 7DF crosses datelines and cultures, all the way back to Adam and Eve were, apparently, in Eden we have memberships in the heavenlies, the rights of 7DF members who are committed and full members of 7DF throughout the generations of mankind's worlds in heaven, also include the rights to access their own copies and usages of the rights I myself have attained, since coming to faith as a Karaite Noahide in 1999, which has been backdated for the decade of the 90s, thus 1990 being the starting point of such a reckoning. 7DF members can purchase, depending on their own degrees of righteousness as judged by God, the corresponding things of goods and services I myself have purchased since the early part of my 17th year. It seems to fluctuate, the percentage of my goods and things they can own, through purchasing their own copies of these items from the relevant stores of my own purchase, modified by God were appropriate, but, in general, a righteous and godfearing member of 7DF has a whole host of modern, 20th and 21st century items available to them for the embellishment of their living experiences. Abraham affords this right for Israel. Jesus affords this right for the church. Mohammed affords this right for Islam. I afford this right for members of the entire Karaite Noahide community, so God tells me. Earth has offered up no established equivalent apart from myself.

It will take time and, quite seriously, literally millions of years for certain items. But its eternal life we are talking about, so learn a little patience. It will all be worth the wait in the end. AMEN.

Sermon Seven – Calm and Sedate Waters

Rapids. Rivers are full of them. Rocks jut out, boats go awry on them, water rises up and splashes everywhere, a chaotic scene, especially the big ones. Life, it can seem, often has rapids in it. When you have been steadily going along, especially in the calm waters of youth, and suddenly reality hits, the teenage years often, and you are caught up in an ongoing series of rapids, life turbulent events, which make it a challenge each and every day just to get through it all and make sense of it all. And, voila, after a lovely night's rest and recuperation, ready to face another day, the challenges come along again, hit you between the eyes, and remind you that you are really not cut out for this thing called life by any means. Best quit, buster, cause we are taking you out at the next crossroads one way or another, your personal demon's often remind you. Come on, how on earth are we to make sense of it all and why is it all happening to me? Life is not always rapids and, as ironic as it might one day sound, one day you will miss those rapids and even crave them from time to time. Oh, to have a challenge, you might say later on in life. But, usually, the whole point of life's rapids, the challenges it sends upon you for you to work it all out and find a prosperity life plan is just that – to work it all out and find a prosperity life plan. Some sort of solution to the woes of life's difficulties which will get you through the whole mess. Some sort of wonderful solution to life's enigmatic and eternal mysteries of suffering and hardship. Life always has its solutions to your present predicament, and often we are just too damn lazy and comfortable with our situation to bother seriously doing anything to change it. Who can we blame but ourselves in the end for our own lack of fortunes? Yes, we usually have a good idea of what to do and, if you don't, hit the prayer room, hit the Rainbow Bible of your fellowship, chat it up with the pastor or reverend of your congregation, or seek advice from a life counsellor and mentor and you will usually get pointed in, if not the right direction, a direction which will at least get you going in a promising direction. But, when you do face up to these challenges, and all your misfortunes; when you do face up to life's difficulties and all your woes; when you really get on with the job and start to work it all out, and much better sooner than painful later, you will inevitably come across those points in life were, funnily enough, when you have finally learned to deal with the problems and challenges of life well enough, are well enough informed and advised on the peculiar challenges relevant to your own lifestyle, and are getting through the day happily enough, calmer and sedate waters often can and do arise. Things have worked themselves out, and a lifeplan in which those dreams of prosperity and fortune you once adulated in your heart have actually, now, finally arised, you come into that part of the plan of God for his followers who remain faithful were it is all smooth sailing, gentle and merry meandering down the humdrum of life's pleasant concourses, and peaceful harbours and resting points, were you are anchored soundly and securely to a harbour of peace, grace, fortune and love.

And when you finally find those calm and sedate waters, never forget just how much suffering you went through to finally reach your beautiful destination. AMEN.

Sermon Eight – Honesty

You want to lie, and you let yourself fall into temptation and, before you know it, you are spinning a fine yarn of brilliant accomplishments you have done, and people are amazed, but it is all untrue. You are not telling the truth. Later, people start asking questions and they learn facts and, after a while, they see through you. You are just a charlatan. A vain and proud boaster of deeds undone. You are not what you claim to be. You are fake. And you have lost a goodly portion of your good name. Ok, lies never really profit people in the end, because they are often found out and, besides, its hell on your conscience. Lies teach people a simple truth – you can't be trusted very much. If they need to rely on you to get something done, and you are a known liar, how can they really trust you? And they might have need of you. Lies ruin a soul and, often, so entrenched in fabulous yarns, the sinner forgets themselves and just goes on blithely making things up, thinking themselves clever – but it is sin, and will be found out. What, you don't consider that everyone thinks badly of you behind your back and, as time has passed, more and more people want to have less and less to do with you. I mean, come on. You'll be lying about them after a while, and they don't want their own reputation ruined by your clever imagination. Lying is not cool. Lying, in fact, is very uncool. It is not the sign of someone who can be relied upon, but the sign of corruption. And, especially in business, and more formal things like elderships and politics, a liar can never really be trusted to rule for the people with the best of intentions. Don't lie. Be honest. Tell the truth. Even if it hurts, and you worry about what people will say if the truth becomes known, bite the bullet and remain true. Don't lie. And white lies? In time, if you justify them, they can often lead to black lies. So better not to say anything at all, make a no comment, and don't even tell little white lies, because it really can set a bad precedent in your life. All areas of life really need honesty. Books need to tell honest facts to people who are studying that information who need to rely on that information for the truth about what they need to get done. If its full of lies and errors, who can people accomplish what they are trying to accomplish? They can't. We need honest. Society needs accurate information. And lies need to be repented of and dug out of your character if they have taken hold, because it is only a sinner you will be called in the end if your mouth only ever utters fancy tale after endless fancy tell. Tell the truth, ok. Kapiche.

Sermon Nine - Associations

Associations. People in our lives. Family. Work colleagues. Friends. Acquaintances in general. Our life is bereft with associations and, in those associations, we often find our comfort and regularity of life, for they define us in many ways, for they are the touchstones of our existence, through which we interact and find our social expressionism. But not all associations are wise, even if we wish the best for people. Some people, some folks, have made choices, especially in youth, which affect their ultimate destiny. Because such choices, when the fairy floss faith finally dies, emerge in the habits of their lives in actions and words which are not, ultimately, beneficial. They are sin. Choices of sin shaped by the ultimate decision of the person to do what they want to do and not listen to the sound advice of moral law. And when that sin emerges, which might seem perfectly innocent or just a little fun from your bestie to start with, be warned again. Not all associations are wise, even if we wish the best for people. Associations are how we live in this world and find our friendships and happiness. They play a fundamental and crucial role in how we get along and conduct our affairs. So, because of this, and if and when eternal life is your intent, you really need to take time to sit down, have a good long and hard look at it all, and start questioning whether 'Free Lovin' Dick' down the road, or 'Slutty Sally' across the street, are really the best 'Swingers in town' to have that risque friendship with that you have enjoyed and maintained for a while. Wise up. Start looking at what people do in reality and make that awful moment happen, which you hate, but which is necessary, that fundamental point were you make a character judgement on another living soul and ask yourself this – 'Do they really have the focus on the requirements of eternal life in their conduct?' Really, think very long and hard about that and nut it right down the absolute truth of the question. If they don't and it looks like they are just gonna fall short one of these days of 'Makin it', then perhaps, as much as many might want to call you a bigoted hypocrite, perhaps it is just time to pack your bags, write out that last 'Dear Joe' letter, and move on with your social group, update your friends list, and let the baggage go which will just, ultimately, drag you down to the very dregs of the pit of Sheol when all is said and done. Get over it. Drop the sinner. Live again. Associations are important, and they are the biggest influence on our everyday thinking apart from, usually, core beliefs of how it all works. Yet for the eternity ahead there are testings of faith, and one of the crucial and most important testings of faith is when you have listened long enough to the advice of the spirit of God and, when he has said to you that 'I really don't think this thing you have got going with Ms SummerLovin is quite gonna work out', you finally agree, get the point, and make the change to a better focus of a more spiritual community. Choose associations wisely and, when you have eternity in your focus, move on to the communities who are dedicated to that eternity – search for them – and then you will start find the beginnings of a life which, until now, you might not quite of realized was on a hiatus due to the anxieties felt of suddenly losing 'this soul' or 'that soul' from the list of your best and fairest. Wise up.

Sermon Ten – Sanctification

Being sanctified is the process in which the Spirit of Yahweh, the Most High, works in your soul to make you saintly. To make you a better person. Sanctification inevitably involves suffering and sacrifice. Sacrifice is the part where you give up pleasures and more so – sinful hedonistic pleasures also. Sanctification begins when a faith encounter has usually occurred and a soul has sought out God or wants to know the meaning of it all. But it can begin earlier in souls who are simply trying to be good and decent persons, this being the time when God gets involves and gently leads you to knowledge of himself. See, God is always there, watching, waiting to see if a soul really wants to know him, to know if he really does exist and when that soul is humble on this issue and teachable, God puts a yoke of gentle love on his or her heart, and leads them softly through life, teaching them lessons, indeed even then making them holy and sanctifying them until they are ready to admit their need for him and ready to acknowledge God really does exist. True sanctification involves studying holy teaching and lessons of moral truth, and doing your best to apply these truths to your life. It is in seeing godly and decent examples and, inspired by them, attempting to emulate their examples in your own life and conduct. It is taking inspiration from a poem, or an analogy or an encounter in life, or just a gentle word from a friend, and finding something in that message which wants to make you a better person and which you want to respond to by being a better person. It is becoming holy. All the purpose of sanctification is to make you like the God whose image you are made in and the primary quality of God is that he is holy. Sanctification is the job of getting that done. It is never really easy, and so many of us are stubborn and unyielding, never really wanting to abandon comfortable lifestyle choices and attitudes we have grown accustomed to. But those choices, inevitably, have to be made, because we can't walk with God and just lie their on the couch uncaring forever. When you are being sanctified you will be led into the process of making decisions and choices, these things shaping your character, and the wiser you are, and the more knowledge of moral truths lie within you, the better those choices will be, and the more saintly you will inevitably become. We can't, in the end, really hide our true selves, our heart and our nature, from those around us. It is often as plain as day who we truly are. The best advice, though, is that if you suffer from a reputation and image in life which you are not happy, engage with God in prayer, submission and repentance, and begin that path of sanctification which, in the end, will make you a better, happier and more complete person and child of God. Amen.

Sermon Eleven - Acquisition

One of the purposes of life is acquisition. Acquisition of goods and services and, in general, access rights to things. In the Noahide tradition, from what has been taught me by the Spirit, it seems to be a general truth that life on earth is the foundation and template for eternity in heaven. And that, for the eternity in heaven, you must acquire your goods, services, and access rights to visit places, talk to people, and join communities, in this physical earthly worldly life on earth. This is it. What you acquire in life on earth is what you acquire for eternity. One thing you must know is this – you can't con or cheat God, and just owning the item doesn't mean its been earned. For everything you gain in life there will have to be works to make you responsible enough to own that item or right for eternity. It is not simply a given. And, to learn responsibility, good works are usually a very good method, but the best of all is to study, for Noahides, the Rainbow Torah and, for our own community of the Advancing Noah Movement, the Rainbow Bible teachings on morality and laws. The more familiar you are with the Kingdom of Noah Torah, for example, and the more you practice the laws of righteousness contained therein, the more you study it and apply it to your life, the greater your blessing will be in this life. As Noahides, we do know that the people of Israel have a Torah also, and while in 7DF we do not teach that you should necessarily obey the laws of Israel's Torah, it can also be read and through study of the Torah of Israel, God also can bless your life. We are not under the covenant of Israel, but we do have permission to also study the Hebrew Bible. It is not our main focus as Noahides, but it can be one of our focuses. In your years throughout life of acquiring things, there may possible come a time when you are largely sufficient and happy for your life. This is a natural thing. At this stage, you should not necessarily inhibit your desire to go on collecting and should gain more things if you wish to, but if you are content feel free and at peace to leave it at that, as it were. No, in the end, the whole point is not to acquire everything under the sun. Rather, acquire those things which make you happy and DO those things which make you happy and give you peace. Certainly, possessions can and normally are a big part of that, but it is usually best not to be too obsessive over collecting the stuff of life. Exercise your wisdom on whether you really need something or not. Sometimes it may even be better to have a slightly trimmer collection of life items, for they can be easier to manage and look after. But it is all up to you. In eternity it is understood by our movement that you receive what you acquire from this life, and the nature of the item, in heaven, is called 'Everlasting' but in our Noahide tradition we name it 'Eternya'. All that it means is that the product lasts eternally, in our faith and understanding. Acquisition is a natural part of life, and shouldn't really be avoided, and in the end it is good to own nice things. Unhealthy desire to gain things you probably shouldn't should probably be avoided, and you don't want to spend endless days going everywhere for everything. You probably know in your heart you only need so many things for eternity anyway. Be wise. Be sensible. And acquire things in life in a positive and normal way.

Sermon Twelve - Consistency

You could put it off. People often do. They find that they are caught up in something, but it becomes a bit difficult, and they don't have the inclination or the passion to bother at that time getting the job done. And some times the job really does need to be done. Patience is what you lack, and while at times you may exhibit some patience, success in life in the fields of endeavour doesn't come to someone who suddenly has a burst of patience to get on with the job, but slacks off again later on on another project, and loses a bit of their reputation, and things just don't get done when they need to be done. Consistency. Consistency in doing challenging things and maintaining the effort each time, every time, all the time, is very hard to do. Yet consistency in difficult and challenging things is one of the greatest hallmarks of true character. Easy things are easy, and it is not that hard to get out of bed each morning and get your breakfast. But getting to work every workday during the week, and getting there on time, and doing that, often, for an entire working career, is one of the real challenges in life. And to do so requires you to be consistent. Consistency is earned through practice and effort. In the end there is no real way of cheating on the challenges of life – you have to do the real required work to get the real required results. And for a life of work, or family raising, or club membership, or sporting team participation, or whatever it is that you want to commit to, you need consistency. The ability to stick at it, even when it is hard – especially when it is hard – and work through the challenges and work through the difficulties and consistently get the job done. A sense of personal honour works a lot in many people. They feel they have a good name and sense of status or identity which motivates them to reach a good level of performance each and every time. But some people are not caught up in that virtue, and instead they need to search in their hearts the questions like 'Do I think I can commit to this?' and 'Is this what I really want to do in life?'. If they are, you need to find a passion, a determination, an absolute commitment from within to stick to it, even when it is tough. Life is full of things which challenge the best of us. The real test of merit is how we handle those things. Some walk away, and run away, and hide behind mother's apron strings, and don't face down their demons, and just can't do what they might have claimed they could. They give in to weakness. But that is a purely natural part of everyone, really, and in the end you shouldn't be ashamed of being human. But, when its a family you have to support, or a charity which really needs your ongoing help, or a job for just your own sustenance, it is consistency in doing things properly each time which are a signal to employers and others in your area of competition that you have the right attitude and patience to endure in your chosen field of endeavour. Consistency. It means a lot in the end. The more you practice it and establish it in your character through facing difficulties, the better and stronger you become in so many ways. Adamides – Noahides – we really all should learn to try and be a bit more consistent with things.

Sermon Thirteen – The Importance of Genealogies

Genealogies transmit family history.  They are a link to our past, a past which helps us to understand where we came from.  The more information we have on our ancestry, the better we can understand the special family cultural identity we received at birth, and more perfectly understand our own special idiosyncrasies, sayings, and traditions which seem to come naturally, but are the product of genealogical breedings by our ancestry over countless generations, and by understanding this appreciate our place in the family tree, and gain further excitement at the prospect of creating a new link with our own children. Genealogies should be kept current for a relevant number of generations, and the early genealogies of mankind in its first few millions of years should always be kept by society.

DOCTRINES

 The Doctrine of Kindness

Do you know what it is like to suffer? It is not very pleasant, is it? Some other people suffer, you know. Trying to get through this life. Do you care about them? Their suffering? The crap they have to deal with in life?  You can't sacrifice forever. If you do, wisdom will step in and remind you of law, and look before you leap, and contract and truth. And rights. But your kindness and your sharing don't really ever have to end. They don't really cost you anything. A smile, a kind word, a hug for someone who has gotten to trust you and accept you. Don't embarrass them, though. But show you care. Be there - as a friend. As a confidante. Always tell them the truth, even when you may have betrayed them. Let them back into your heart if they have hurt you and are starting to get better. Be careful about wicked ones, but remember mercy when necessary. Its a tough job – judging all of that sort of stuff right. But you can always be kind regardless. Even if you don't really like them or what they represent, you can still be kind. Kindness - love - compassion - care - thoughtfulness – consideration. It is all pretty much the same stuff in the end. From a heart which has concern and good intentions towards people. Which wants good things for people. Kindness. Let it be a virtue you aim for. Let it be something you show others, and yourself. As they say - let love rule.

The Doctrine of Forethought

Look before you leap. Look ahead. Work out, before hand, when troubles could possibly come upon you. Why? It is better to be safe than a sorry old soul. A heart of wisdom is to be prepared for situations, when you have potentially hazardous encounters coming to you, it is important to use forethought and have an idea in mind how you will handle such situations, and the parameters of things which might possibly occur. It has been said that failure to prepare is preparation for failure, so unless you want to fall on your face in potential dangerous event, have some ideas in mind about what and what you will do if such and such occur. Forethought, prudent and diligent planning in your mind, or on paper, on how to act in the event of various things happening, is a well laid plan to be able to respond to potential hazards. Knowing how you should act, what you should say and the kind of behaviours you should exhibit. With experience forethought becomes easier, but you still always need to give consideration to things you are going to do, especially if you have warning signs in your head, or remember similar encounters when things didn't always go as planned. When going to a potentially dangerous place, or associating with people of questionable reputation, it helps to have a back up plan or idea of what you should do and can do should the worse occur. Especially things involving going on holidays far from home, away from your comfort zone, or to city and town places not frequented so often in your travels. Further, when using things which have a degree of hazard associated with them, not only must you follow proper guidelines, but be ready and know what to do in case of emergencies. Be prepared. It is the boyscouts motto. So have in your heart forethought and wise counsel to ensure you know what to do and how to react should the worse occur.

The Doctrine of Cleanliness

Being clean. Washing your body. Washing your clothes. Cleaning your teeth. Having good hygiene. Not smelling bad. Taking care of your toileting requirements. Seeking medical helps for diseases of the body and mind. Having pure thoughts and a moral heart, not corrupted by immorality, lasciviousness, hypocrisy and evil. Cleanliness, as they say, is next to godliness. But why be clean? It feels better after a shower or bath, doesn't it? Feeling clean, without muck or dirt on you. Feeling wholesome and good and new. It feels better. And it gives you a better reputation. For whatever reason it is, people usually like to be around people who are clean, and not covered in filth. Just the general way of things for most of us. Having a tidy room. Keeping it clean. Sure, parents can be fussy on that, but deep down we know it is in our better interests. And we usually like it that way anyway. And it helps finding things if they are stored neatly and not in a dirty room. Cleanliness is work. Staying clean and keeping clean is work and effort and, especially in children, laziness is a bane of our lives which we should do well to conquer and master. It looks good, gives us a good reputation, and makes us feel good. And when we have a clean moral heart, our consciences feel better and we feel good that we are behaving ourselves properly, not stained by sin. Torah prescribes washings to deal with sexual emissions and other bodily emissions, and while they are not prescribed as law to the children of Noah, some basic Torah washing practices are not that bad an idea. If you are feeling unclean after encountering diseased things, or dead carcasses, or even dead relatives, it does help to give a washing, which really is more than just a ceremonial accoutrement in the end. It makes you feel clean. Cleanliness should not really be too legalistically applied, as we are only human, but, in general, it is good practice, recommended, and a sound and healthy way of life to uphold. Be ye clean, and you will feel all the better for it.

The Doctrine of Moderation

Going to extremes. I like the thrill. I like the rush. I like the chase. I like her tush. I like it wild. I like it tame. I like it boring. I like it insane. Way to fast. Way to slow. The highest of heavens. Or hell below. Ultimate, extremes can be a bit much for the human body and the human psychology, whatever they are. Get caught up in a marathon drinking session, enjoy the hangover in the morning, and your brain cells saying 'That's it mate. I'm done. Retirement and a grave in Sheol waiting for me. Thanks body. You've been great.' Fitness fanatic, but your body is exhausted, and your muscles are aching, because you have pushed yourself way too far. Or the opposite, and you are feeling lethargic and lazy, and can barely get out of bed, and you have difficulty getting up from your seat because your knees ache every time you do. So much love, that saint has, says one fellow. Yeh, he's slept with seven wives in the congregation. Plenty of love, mate, says another saint. It seems to me that extremes in life, even things which are supposed to be good for you, if you push them too hard, or do not push them at all, leave you exhausted one way or another. Pushing yourself too hard - ending up in burnout. Never doing a damn thing, and your muscles are starting to dwindle, and you just want to lay in bed all day long. One of the fundamental truths of life is that life needs balance, or moderation. You need to be active, but not too active. You need to be passionate, but not too passionate. You need to be loving, but sleeping with the 16 year old pastors daughter is just a bit too much love unless you marry her. Moderation is not necessarily about finding that perfect centrepoint of balance and harmony in life, but it needs to be a kind of life where you are living within the safe parameters, both the high ones and the low ones. There is usually plenty of leeway for a human, and we can all be extreme or inactive at times. But moderation is a key to healthy and successful living, and learning its fine art will be health for your bones, and joy for your body, soul, mind and heart.

The Doctrine of Play

All work and no play makes Johnny very bored. You see, life is not just serious work, study and discipline every single day of your life. It is not always about doing as you are told every instant, being on your best behaviour and never flinching from duty. In the end this makes you a bit too serious, a bit too starchy, a bit too much of a rock of God. You need some free time. You need some relaxation time. You need some ME time. Time were it is for goofing off a bit, fooling around a little, and just having some good old fashioned fun. Don't let it go to your head, though. Wild times bring a wild reputation which you may have a hard time losing. But sometimes we need to lighten up, just be ourselves, go with the flow and have a good time. Tell a few jokes, laugh at stupid things, and do some things just for the hell of it and for the entertainment. Go to a show, ride a bike, watch a movie, play a board game, chat with friends, mess around with a musical instrument, and just whatever makes you happy, even playing around with kids toys if you really damn well want to. Play, even in adults, really still needs to be there in the end. We need a time when we can be our innocent young selves, and enjoy the things of youth, and enjoy the frill and excitement of the big old grand adventure of life, and leave the troubles we have in some other elder's hands for a while. It can't be play all the time, because real life and real world concerns always intervene and end things, but sometimes we need to get away, on a holiday, and just chill out and enjoy things. Life is for fun, in many ways, and having a lively and happy and joyful spirit is often found in knowing how to have that fun - even at 98.

ADVICE

(Public Domain Wikipedia Article modified by Daniel Thomas Andrew Daly)

Advice (also called exhortation) is a form of relating personal or institutional information, data, wisdom, experience, knowledge, understanding, opinions, belief systems, values, morals, ethics, recommendations or guidance about certain situations relayed in some context to another person, group or party often offered as a guide to action and/or conduct. Put a little more simply, an advice message is a recommendation about what might be thought, said, or otherwise done to address a problem, make a decision, or manage a situation which usually has such a degree of complexity or difficulty associated with it that support of information from an outside source is often sought or given. Advice is believed to be theoretical, and is often considered taboo as well as helpful. The kinds of advice can range from systems of instructional and practical toward more esoteric and spiritual, and is often attributable toward problem solving, strategy seeking, and solution finding, either from a social standpoint or a personal one. Advice may pertain to relationships, lifestyle changes, legal choices, business goals, personal goals, career goals, education goals, religious beliefs, personal growth, motivation, inspiration and so on. Advice is not pertinent to any solid criteria, and may be given freely, or only given when asked upon. In some cultures advice is socially unacceptable to be released unless requested. In other cultures advice is given more openly. It may, especially if it is expert advice such as legal advice or methodological advice also be given only in exchange for payment. Advice when adhered to and followed may be beneficial, non-beneficial, damaging, non-damaging, partially beneficial and partially damaging, in reference to personal or social paradigms. In other words, not all advice is either "all good" or "all bad". Many people consider unrequested advice to be paternalistic and patronizing and are thus offended. Pastoral figures, through pesonal ministry and sermons are sources of advice. Psychologist and psychiatrists, in their clinical analyses of mental health issues offer advice. Doctors, in terms of medical health issues, offer such advice. Sports trainers, on how to improve your sporting performances, offer advice in these fields. School teachers mainly give instruction, which is more formal knowledge than advice, but they often can advise students on moral choices, as well as course choices and study philosophies. A great deal many occupations have a degree of ways of imparting information to others, and this comes in both the form of direct teaching of knowledge itself, as well as a more general sense of advice, when asked for on issues, to gain better understandings. A business mentor is another chief form of advice. There is usually a delineation between more formal institutional course knowledge, such as the knowledge of the schooling curriculum, and the more regular type of advice in life, which is how to handle it all and what to do with it all. In this sense advice is more practical and pragmatic.

Toiletry Advice - How To Shit on a Toilet

Enter the toilet (carefully making sure nobody is already using it. A polite knock on the toilet door, and waiting for an answer, before you go in should suffice. If someone is using the toilet, wait your turn.) You lift up the covering toilet seat lid and you sit down on the toilet seat which runs around the rim. You shit your body-waste (the shit or faeces) into the toilet bowl. It is best to wait a bit to make sure it has all been shat out. When your bowels feel clean, and you might have had to piss in the toilet bowl as well, then use toilet paper to wipe your anus clean, place the used toilet paper in the toilet bowl, and flush the toilet by pressing the flush button. Then exit the toilet, you may close the toilet door also if it is your custom, and then go to the bathroom which has the water sink washing basin, turn on the water tap, and wash your hands very clean. Warm water is a good option, but cold is suitable as well. You can use soap to clean your hands also if you wish, but water will usually suffice. Make sure they are quite clean. Dry your hands on one of the bathroom towels used for this purpose, and off you go, back to whatever you want to do next.
