The Ten Points to Freedom

Chapter Ten - Resisting the Herd

We have thus far taken you through nine of the "Ten Points To Freedom." This lesson will complete the last of the ten points. At this time we would caution you to be very aware that if you have completed the previous nine lessons successfully, failing the tenth and finale lesson can undo all the work you have completed thus far. This can be the most troublesome experience in your journey through what you refer to as life.

The Herd, better known as the Masses, or to some the Rabble, will do their best to bring you back into the fold. Why do you think it's so important that the Herd will put up such a strong fight to get you back. Do you really feel you are that vital to the Herd's survival? Oh yes, they need as many members as they can contain, as every member of the Herd contributes to the Herds food source. Does this sound strange to you? How, you ask, can I be a source of food to the Herd? There are many ways one can feed the Herd. The three most often used sources are as follows.

The strongest of all would be your THOUGHTS
The second is your WORDS
The third is your DEEDS

The Herd is very adapt at using itself for the purpose of producing it's food. Why would the Herd want to consume itself, you ask? The answer is so they can grow in strength to better control their need for self indulgences. They get this strength from their own THOUGHTS, WORDS and DEEDS. They are constantly in a state of SELF CONSUMING ACTIVITY. So you see if they didn't have a source of food (energy) they would self consume in less than one incarnation. The Herd MUST have a constant source of energy. They look for this source from other members of the HERD, and if they can't find it there they will consume themselves. We trust we are making this very clear to you. Have you ever met a person whom you may have thought of as being on a path of self-destruction? Do you not find yourself at a loss as to why this is so? Do you not say this man or woman must be crazy for doing what they are, or seem to be doing? Have you not found yourself acting, talking or thinking in a destructive way?, at times thinking of suicide, and other times feeling guilty, unworthy, and not loving self? If you can remember when these thoughts words and actions enter your thinking, remember that one or more members of the Herd are feeding on you, or you are feeding on self. Then you MUST become aware of what is happening and reverse the process and start feeding off of the Herd. How? By sending out kind, loving thoughts and deeds which will return to you a very positive source of energy. An energy that will fill you with Love of Self, Respect of Self and above all get you closer to the realization of what and who you are. Most important of all is the fact that you come to the realization that you have separated yourself from the Herd and are no longer under their influences.1 You are a FREE SPIRITUAL BEING, IN FULL CONTROL OF YOUR SOUL.

At this time we would caution you as to some of the pitfalls you may encounter when you attempt to remove yourself from the Herd.

The herd will stop at nothing in order to keep you a captive in their environment. The most important thing for you to remember is that you are the one who decides if you go with the herd or go with the few. If you choose to go with the few you will most certainly be considered an outcast and rebel. They will call you a lunatic, weird and against all that goes against humanity. Can you withstand this bombardment of negativity? Are you willing to walk that lonesome dark trail of life? You may also choose to ignore all that the herd has to say and walk the path of YOUR CHOICE, REGARDLESS of what others think or say. A word of caution is necessary at this time. You must be sure you have developed your spiritual muscle, as it will take a great deal of willpower and desire to overcome the herd in the manner mentioned above.

Another means of overcoming the influences of the herd is to work on ones-self on a daily basis. By this we mean to overcome your spiritual short comings, one at a time, one day at a time. This can be done, however, you stand in more danger, as the herd will then have more opportunity to draw you back into the crowd. Thus this prayer was born. "WATCH AND PRAY THAT YOU NOT FALL, WHEN YOU THINK YOU STAND." One can get caught up in one phase of their development that all else is forgotten and the weeds of life take over to such an extent that when you turn your direction toward another phase of growth, you will not be able to recognize what it is you need to work on. The weeds of life will grow very thick unless you stop from time to time and do a little work on other things. Keeping a path open so you have a vantage point to see your next obstacle.

Most times those on the path of fulfillment think that it is their fellow man that present the dangers. They feel that all of the herd must be removed from their life in order to truly grow. NOT SO. It is not so much the herd as it is the herd's creations. We would take this opportunity to list but a few of the creations of the herd. Maybe you may see some of your own creations in this list. If so, you will find those that you created the most difficult to remove. Remove them you must, so that you can better become balanced.

MONEY NAME SUPPRESSIONS

JOB FAME LIFESTYLE

ANGER GAMES SUPERSTITIONS

HEALTH FEAR OF DEATH HATE

MARRIAGE BEING JUDGMENTAL TOO-MENTAL

FEAR SORRY FOR ONE'S SELF TOO-PHYSICAL

CONTROL DOGMAS ANY-THING IN-

EXCESS

Above are but a few of your creations. We are sure that you will agree, if you took the time the list could grow by leaps and bounds. Have you given much thought to the fact that humanity has created the above, believing at all times that they would be all the better for having created them? We can find no fault in the above list of your creations other than the loss of control in each area. You created them to serve you, and now find yourself being controlled by your own, or another's creation. Is this the way you want it to be? If not, then NOW is the time to change.

Are some of you upset or feel threaten by this lesson? Do you feel as if you have heard the same old line for too many years? If so then we suggest you disregard this lesson along with all others and live by the dictates of the herd. We make this statement in love as we are not, nor will we ever sit in judgment of you or any one else. The reason for so much repetition is in the fact that this is what is destroying humanity and will continue to do so until the herd comes to the realization that all there is, is God and ALL ELSE IS FROM THE SMALL I. The SMALL creator, attempting to become the BIG CREATOR. We are not condemning you for falling short of becoming your true self. We are, in a very small way trying to make you aware of the why of what is going on in your life and the life of all humanity who adheres to the law of the herd.

To put it in more simple terms, let us say that there is only one way to become balanced and stay balanced.To be ready for the changes that await all that are on your earth plane. That one way is to remove yourself from functioning under the law of the herd. It may SEEM a great price to pay, however you are now paying a MUCH GREATER price for THINGS the herd provide you with now. Which are in reality nothing more than an illusion, no-things that have no value what so ever. In addition these no-things, with their artificial attraction can and will bring you down to the lower dimension's, to the realm of NEW BEINGS.

We would not leave you with a feeling of helplessness. We want you to know that now more than ever you can have help in your struggle to spiritual at-one-ment. The Master said "SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND, ASK AND IT WILL BE GIVEN YOU, KNOCK AND THE DOOR SHALL BE OPEN UNTO YOU FOR THOSE WHO SEEK SHALL FIND, THOSE WHO ASK IT SHALL BE GIVEN AND FOR THOSE WHO KNOCK THE DOOR SHALL BE OPENED."

THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAT CAN BE GIVEN YOU REGARDING THIS SUBJECT. WE HAVE GIVEN YOU ALL THAT WE WERE ALLOWED TO GIVE. HOWEVER YOU WERE GIVEN ENOUGH IN THIS AND PREVIOUS LESSONS TO OVERCOME THE LAW OF THE HERD. THE ONLY THING THAT WAS WITH-HELD WAS THE INSPIRATION, WILLPOWER, AND WILINGNESS TO ACHIVE.. THESE ATTRIBUTES COME ONLY FROM WITHIN, YOUR OWN SELF. YOU AND YOU ALONE MUST DECIDE WHERE YOU WILL BE WHEN THE TIME COMES TO MOVE ON. DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU WILL BE WHEN YOUR NAME IS CALLED? WILL YOU BE WITHIN LISTENING DISTANCE?

God Bless,
The Brotherhood.
