On Brotherhood.

Brothers,

My message today is controversial. I know some of you will dispute it, and some will likely “tune me out” after this. Respectfully, I ask for patient consideration.

I want to turn your attention to a matter familiar to us all, but, I suspect, gravely underrecognized. You need only passing familiarity with the Holy Scripture to know that Jesus said of Himself: “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life.” This is not news to you. And it is not news to me. But, may I ask you, have you considered what this means?

If you do not realize it already, it is important to understand that the Truth is not the Way; the Way is not the Life; and the Life is not the Truth. These things are distinct from one another. The Truth is something different than the Way. And the Way is something different than the Life. And the Life is something different than the Truth. A man can possess these things individually: I can have the Truth, but neither the Way nor the Life. And a man can possess these things partially, or not at all.

Jesus united two trinities for us. Not one. Two. He came to us to unite in human form the Trinity of the Godhead – God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. And He also came to us to unite in human form the trinity of the Way, the Truth and the Life. In ourselves, none of us can unite the Trinity of the Godhead. That is reserved for the Creator alone. But, in ourselves, we can unite the Way, the Truth and the Life. And we are called to do this.

I want you to consider the Jewish people. Among mankind, our Jewish brothers were the very first people to possess the Way, the Truth and the Life. The very first. Now, I am Christian. So it is my view that, while it is true that they were the very first, it is also true that they possessed only part of the Truth, and therefore practiced an impaired Way, and received only a portion of the Life planned for us. But their Truth was, in fact, true. And their Way was, in fact, sacred and valid. And their Life was, in fact, blessed. This made them a Nation. Not land. The Way, the Truth and the Life. For 2500 years, the Nation of Israel had no land. From the time Babylon conquered the Jewish people in 597 B.C. until 1948, the Nation of Israel had no land. Yet it has been a nation the whole time.

Let me say that again. A nation is made by uniting around the Way, the Truth and the Life. A brotherhood is created from that same unity. As a matter of fact, no other form of union is licit. We are forbidden to unite as brothers around, say, a common purpose. Freemasonry is illicit. Construction of the Tower of Babel was illicit. And so on. More than illicit, any other form of brotherly union is counterfeit. If we unite around, say, a common political goal, we are not brothers – we are people with the same viewpoint. The sole licit and authentic basis for uniting as brothers is uniting around the Way, the Truth and the Life.

My brothers, we live in a satanic age. In future writings, I will delve into the topic of satan. For now, please understand that – first and foremost – he apes God. Satan apes God. When you see something that is a manifest ape of God, you are seeing satan, himself, or at the very least, one of satan’s institutions.

May I ask you to look around the world and see if it is the case that you might locate an ape of the Nation of Israel? Is there anywhere to be found a “nation” – a nation without land – yet united around a way, a “truth” and a life? Do you recognize such a nation? Do our American and European landscapes possess such a nation? Oh, that’s right. The Nation of Islam. The Nation of Islam is a satanic ape. It is an ape of the very nation that God, Himself, assembled. Its ways are neither valid nor sacred. And its “truth” is not merely partial – it is infected with falsehoods. And its life is cruel, perverse and repulsive. It is of satan.

Have the footsoldiers of The Nation of Islam mobilized? Have they invaded? Are they here? Are they here in record numbers? Then satan is afoot.

This piece is not principally concerned with The Nation of Islam. And satan’s footsoldiers are to be found in associations and “brotherhoods” outside of the Nation. The Nation is but one division in satan’s army. My broader point here is that we are under attack by satan. A comprehensive examination of his forces is reserved for future pieces I will devote to the matter.

I want you to consider America. Is this a nation united around a way, a truth and a life? Are we validly constituted? My American brothers, we have an American Truth (“we hold these truths to be self-evident…”). And we have an American Way (a democratic republic with certain divisions of power and authority, with certain public institutions, and so on). And we have an American Life (we vote, we serve on jury duty, and so on). Our American Truth is true. It is not comprehensive, and does not reach every realm – it takes no position on metaphysical matters, for example – but it is nonetheless true. And our American Way is valid – they are authentic means for organizing around, and acting in accordance with, our American Truth. And our American Life is the blessed fruit of our Truth and Way.

Who is my American brother? Anyone who unites within himself the trinity of the American Way, the American Truth and the American Life. He who does that is my American brother. There is no racial or genetic test – Americans are not a clan or a tribe. We are a nation and a brotherhood in the only meaningful sense. By choice. By choice to unite within ourselves the American Way, the American Truth and the American Life. This means that not everyone who lives in America is an American. If you do not hold our self-evident truths to be true, then you merely live on American soil. You may be an American citizen, but you are not American, and you are not my American brother.

Brothers, there are people – American citizens – who are the agents of satan and are aligned against us. What, really, are they attacking? The American Way, the American Truth, and the American Life. Consider: the American trinity descends from, and is derivative of, the one revealed by God. Satan’s aim is to destroy every gift from God – even its derivatives. This is why our presidency, congress and courts have been compromised. It is an attack on the American Way. And this is why a sweeping agenda of Critical Theory has been loosed upon us. It is an attack on the American Truth. And this is why our vote was corrupted. It is an attack on the American Life. No gift of God will evade attack. We are under siege, now, brothers. Brace yourselves and stay close to God.

Ever yours, simon_says
