NEW YEAR EVE MESSAGE

 New Year Eve Message 


THE BIBLE


From beginning to end, the Bible teaches us about Satan, his followers, and their methods of deception.


The Old Testament, the Hebrew scriptures, is full of murder, torture, vengeance, hatred, death and destruction, animal and human sacrifice, and blood rituals and sacrifice to please Lord God. Lord God required Israel to sanctify things under the old covenant with blood.(Heb 9:18-22) He required a high priest before him once a year, with animal blood.(Heb 9:7 & Lev 16:1-34) Lord God's religion required blood. (Prov 16:4 & 1Kings 18:26-28)


The New Testament, the teachings of Jesus, which God the Father gave to him to give to us, speaks out against the Old Testament and its religious leaders. The New Testament reveals many of the Old Testament teachings by the main  stream  denominations are false, that the religion of those times had long ago become the Synagogue of Satan. The New Testament reveals the Old Testament's Lord God as the Wicked One, Satan, by revealing the love and peace and Righteousness of God the Father, the Living God of truth and light.


Jesus teaches that "an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth" is wrong. That we should not only love our friends and family, but we should love our enemies for "they know not what they do". That we should love all, both the just and the unjust, for none of us can "cast the first stone". That we should be righteous, just as our Father who art in heaven is forgiving of us all for our rebellion.


The New Testament of the Bible provides us with everything we need for salvation -  *if*  -  we truly are seekers AND are willing to "apply" the teachings of Jesus to ourselves and make the necessary changes that will allow us back into Heaven.


But I fear, "lest by any means," as the serpent beguiled Eve, so have our minds been corrupted from the simplicity that is in the teachings of Jesus.


Yes, as Satan deceived Eve by his craftiness, so have our minds been led astray by religion, spirituality, philosophy and psychology; led astray from the light and understanding of the Living God's Word.


Today, Satan has all but destroyed any belief in himself, and so goes too the belief in God. Free-thinkera, agnostics,  atheists, idealistic.....


Satan works through the intellect and pride of the soul, on our arrogance of being smarter, better, more deserving and beautiful. There is no evil; evil is just a part of the human condition of nature and nurture, "the devil didn't make him do it," it is just something to be embraced as the evolution of a species . . . and since there is no evil, there is no supernatural intervention, and so there is no God.


Satan knows the Bible, just as he knows every religious and spiritual book, cover to cover, because he has access to everything through the souls of men. He knows the Bible, word for word, and can quote it against you just like he tried against Jesus in the wilderness when he quoted Psalms 91:11-12, leaving out "in all your ways."


Yes, Satan tried to temp Jesus in all the areas he temps us today; physical needs and wants, pride and ego, anger and hatred, greed and attachments. And as Jesus demonstrated, we are not to fight against Satan, we just quote the righteous Word of God back at him and he leaves - "for a little season."


We cannot reason with Satan, nor can we safely converse with him, as Eve found out. However, as Jesus demonstrated, Satan can be "resisted." (James 4:7) Therefore, "resist the devil;" (1Peter 5:6-9, Eph 6:10:18) muster up your WILL and quote scripture at those wrong thoughts he slides into your mind.


Fighting the devil, his demons and his evil soul inside is a defensive campaign, not an offensive campaign. We do not go on the offensive because we are way out of our league. Remember, Satan is the most powerful of all the angels, very powerful, and you will loose, everytime.


Jesus plainly tells us that Satan is the "god," the ruler of this world. That Satan has control over all those in high places. (How else could he offer Jesus the whole world and all the nations therein?)


Long ago, way before Jesus' time, Satan had established a political and religious system around the world, headed by loyal fallen angels under his control. These sons of the Wicked One were sown among the sons of God; walking among us with a pious outer appearance (not as humble little children). - Matthew 13:37-43.


These "followers of Cain," lode men with burdens grievous to be borne; they build the sephechures of the prophets whom their fathers murdered. They have taken away "the Keys of Knowledge." And because of their continued unrighteousness they cannot return home, and neither do they want you to return home: so they hinder any progress. (Lk 11:47,52)


This is Satan's world, and his followers rule all aspects. These "kings and rulers of the earth" take counsel against the Living God and his anointed. They have all been made drunk with the wine of Satan's fornication. (Rev 17:2) Blood rituals and Blood sacrifice; you know them as crime and war.


Satan is the "God" they openly talk about in public, and pray to in church; as you watch and believe they are talking about and praying to the God they have educated you to talk about and pray to. Reading John 4:21-22, "Ye worship ye know not what. We know what we worship, we worship the Father."


Our ignorance and innocence is their delight, as we stand there with heads bowed, praying to an image of a false idol hanging on the wall, or pictured in our minds, believing the fable they have instilled in our souls. (Remember when Jesus prayed? He looked up to heaven, like a humble little child looking up to his Father.)


Religion has been Satan's greatest and most powerful deception; raining death, destruction, and blood sacrifice world wide, down through the ages. No matter where in this evil world, no matter what the religion, its roots are steeped in blood sacrifice.


For certain, men whose condemnation was written about long ago, have secretly slipped in among us; false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. (2Cor 11:13) They are godless men who have changed the Word of God into a lie.


There is a deceptive church, (Rev 2:9) with a deceptive doctrine, (1Tim 4:1) and a deceptive gospel. (Gal 1:8) There are deceptive ministers, (2Cor 11:14-53) preaching a deceptive righteousness (Rom 10:8) and a deceptive Christ. (2Thess 2:8-10, Rev 13:8)


Satan has set up "religion" as the liberator and saviour: his greatest deception. Satan is deceiving the whole world, even the Elect. (Gen 3:15, Heb 2:14-15, LK 10:16-20, John 12:28-33, Col 2:12-15) Satan has added many deceptions to the Word of God, to create his satanic system of worship, no matter which religion.


It is very easy for any one to get caught up in the letter which killeth, "forever reading and never able to come to the truth". It is very easy to get caught up in Satan's religious myths and fables, in the doctrines and dogmas of men, and lose sight of the goal. (1Tim 1:3-4, 4:7, 6:20, 2Tim 2:16, 4:3-4)


Satan has deceived many into believing that all they have to do is read your Bible and believe what "they" tell you, and you are saved; to believe in God, believe in Jesus, believe in whatever they tell you to believe in, HOPE it's true and your FAITH will redeem you. Just "thinking and book knowledge can save you.


Satan does not want you to have this knowledge, nor does he want you to APPLY it to yourself: for in the day that you do, the scales will fall from your eyes, and you will begin to see and understand the Truth that has always been right there in the Bible for all to see, but seeing you did not see, and hearing you did not hear, for "they" have led you astray. Satan DOES NOT want you to "apply" these teaching, to have your own personal experience with "revelation" from God the Father.


Satan is the serpent, the great deceiver, and he always masquerades his lies as God's truth. (2Cor 11:13-14) One's only defense is that which Jesus used when tempted directly by Satan, or others; Jesus used the Word of God. ("Get Behind me Satan.")


Jesus came into this evil world of death, from Heaven (a world of Life), to teach us about Satan, his evil world and his soul of "good & evil" inside each one of us: and Jesus taught us what we must DO to overcome this evil world and return back home to Heaven.


However, two thousand years ago Jesus also warned us that, "many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many." (Mtt 24:11) Shortly thereafter, just as Jesus prophesized, "many false prophets are gone out into the world;" (1John 4:1) and "even now are there many antichrists;" (1John 2:18) and "many deceivers are entered into the world." (2John 1:7)


Satan and his fallen angels controlled this planet before Jesus came, during Jesus' time, and continue to rule today. Satan has given power to his followers to rule over all kindreds and tongues and nations, over all that dwell upon the earth: they are like the "gods" he promised them they would be if they followed and worshiped him.

"THIS IS SATAN'S WORLD!!

Beware of those false prophets who come in sheep's clothing, bearing false witness. There have risen many false prophets and false christs, showing great signs and wonders (phenomena); they have deceived the very elect. (Mtt 24:24) And what did Jesus say about "signs?" "An evil, wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign, and there shall no sign be given. (Remember Moses giving signs, and the court magicians duplicating them?) (Mtt 12:39, 16:4 Mk 8:12, Lk 11:29)


Outwards these followers of Cain look strong, powerful, beautiful, have great charisma (kundalini/the serpent energy); they are arrayed in fine clothing and expensive jewellery, but inwards they are full of guile and deceitfulness. They hold the upper and key positions in government, industry and religion; the masses do not even know they exist.


Religion is a very great and powerful deception, which plays to the emotions of the soul: false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into representatives of Christ (2Cor 11:13) They blind the minds of the fallen angels so they cannot see, nor understand the teachings of Jesus on the pages of the Bible.


Satan uses scripture to tempt people (Mtt 4:6, Psalms 91); he does his best to tempt every follower of Jesus. (1Pet 5:8) He twists and perverts written documents to serve his purposes. He can take advantage of Saints (2Cor 2:11), "who are taken captive by him at his will". (2Tim 2:26)


Satan does not approach us showing his true nature, he masquerades as a counterfeit, an imitator. He whispers through the soul, imitating our inner voice. Don't let Satan deceive you; that soul is the "dark urges of the so-called human psyche."


Satan will do whatever it takes to keep you from reading AND especially APPLYING these teachings of Jesus.


Satan will use the soul to raise up questions in your mind and create doubt; because doubt is always the first step towards derailing the truth. The soul subtlety imitates your thought-voice inside your head with a dozen reasons why these are not the teachings of Jesus.


Satan will do whatever it takes to lead you away from and keep you from "applying" these teachings. He will distract you and cause doubt; he will confuse you and make you critical; he will work his deceptions through others to pull you away; he will arrange interruptions and cause interference in your life; he will keep you forever reading and asking questions so you can never come to the truth through application, change, and by receiving revelations from God the Father. Satan doesn't want you to learn about him, his wicked followers, his evil world of death, and his soul of good & evil inside.


"These are not the Teachings of Jesus," Satan whispers, "Just believe in God, on the name of Jesus, the cross, or anything else the church tells you, and you will be saved." Some of his greatest deceptions (lies). Satan heaps false guilt on us to cause self-condemnation and unworthiness; (Rev 12:10) however, Jesus tells us, "Your sins are forgiven; go and sin no more."


Satan tries to thwart God's plan of salvation in every area and by every means possible. Satan has corrupted and counterfeited God's Word (gospel). 



When the true gospel is heard by anyone, it enters into the soul and immediately Satan hears and comes to take it away. (Mtt 13:19) And reading Luke 8:12, "Those who hear the Word of God, then cometh the devil and taketh away the word, out of their souls, lest they should believe and be saved." The devil hasn't done this with your religious beliefs - Why?


If the gospel is veiled, it is veiled because "the god of this world has blinded your mind: to keep you from seeing the light (knowledge) of the gospel, and the glory (righteousness) of God". (2Cor 4:2-4)


Use Romans 8:1-17 to silence the reproaches of Satan, his devils, and that evil soul inside. "The mind set on the flesh is death; but the mind set on the Spirit is peace and Life." So walk after the Spirit because it frees you from sin and death. Let the Spirit of God dwell in you, that is, let the Mind of God dwell in you, a Mind of Righteousness shall quicken you by his Spirit that dwells in you. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God; for the Mind bears witness with our mind, that we are the children of God the Father, that we are one.


Now I urge you brethren, and sisters,  keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to these teachings of Jesus and turn away from them; for such men and women are slaves, not of our Lord Jesus Christ, but of their own appetites, of their souls, of their god, Satan. Because of their lack of self-control and self-correction, Satan controls them from within through their souls, and from without through their fleshly appetites. By their smooth and flattery speech they deceive the souls and minds of the unsuspecting. Be not ignorant of Satan's many schemes.

 

Happy New Year ? 

As the New Year approaches us with hopes anew, here is to wishing you and your family a wonderful year ahead. As the New Year dawns, I hope it is filled with the promises of a brighter tomorrow. Happy New Year! Every end marks a new beginning. Keep your spirits and determination unshaken, and you shall always walk the glory road. Amen 🙏


SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT


Spiritual discernment comes about through Spiritual unfoldment, allowing us to understand what 'spirit forces' are at work in us, at work in the course of our daily lives, and at work in the lives of those around us. Spiritual discernment is not physical discernment nor is it mind reading. Spiritual discernment cannot be 'seen' or 'felt', it can only be understood from our own personal experiences with spirit, spirit phenomena, and with Spirit and Spiritual revelations. Reading 1John 4:1, "Believe not every spirit, but 'try' the spirits whether they are of God."


Spiritual discernment is 'experienced based knowledge' whereby you know whether the spirit before you is of God, or of error: even if some other spirit of error is operating through the person before you. Spiritual discernment is the distinguishing between spirits, whether they be of God or not, and to do so you 'try' them.


The 'acid test' of Spiritual discernment is - "is what is being shown or communicated Spiritual, or physical? - is it about heaven, Jesus and God, or is it about this physical world and the things of this world; reading 1Corinthians 2:13, "These things we also speak, not in the words which men's wisdom teaches, but which the holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. (But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are SPIRITUALL DISCERNED.)"


Spiritual discernment allows us to understand, from our own personal experiences, the motivations of our self, as well as the motivations of those around us: whether the Spirit of God is at work, or is it the spirit of perdition, a spirit of this world. "Every one skilled in the word of righteousness, have their (spiritual) senses exercised to discern good and evil."  Think of spiritual discernment as looking at things from God's point of view - RIGHTEOUSNESS!


Spiritual discernment is to help us navigate through the evil of each day, developing the perfect man, the righteous man. "Take no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself: sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." (Matthew 6:34) "Be not conformed to this world - but be ye transformed by the renewing of your MIND, that ye may 'prove' what is that good, acceptable and perfect will of God. Put on the new man which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created him." (Rm 12:2 ; Col 3:10)


Satan is the ruler of this world.   He lives through and directs all beings within his creation using the soul. Through the soul, Satan causes all things and all beings to revolve ... to go through cycles, just as if they were attached to a machine that turns them round and round on the Wheel, where our attention is constantly being bounced around from thinking - to - feeling, from feeling to memories, from memories to willing . . . . . sometimes one at a time, or two or three, or all at once, forming lust, greed, anger, attachments and vanity or ego, binding us continuously to the Wheel and this world of death, decay and destruction. "Do ye think that the scriptures saith in vain, that the spirit (soul) that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?" (James 4:5)


Do not continue to follow after the instructions of the foolish; teachers who deceive with the form of knowledge but their truth is based on the law, not God: for the law is the knowledge of sin; but now the righteousness of God (without the law) is manifested. Have the knowledge of God and awake to righteousness: All unrighteousness is sin." (1John 5:17)


What is the level of spiritual discernment if a person has never experienced anything in the spirit, or Spiritual revelation? - ZERO.


Spiritual discernment is to hold yourself accountable, to correct yourself, NOT to hold others accountable or try to correct them, that is their job; your job is to demonstrate the way of righteousness that they might 'pick-up' on it. Also, spiritual discernment is not the ability to read minds, although the mind reading phenomena of the soul does get in the way of the Spiritually inexperienced, who lets the imagery stored in their own soul, affect their thinking.

THE WINDOW INTO SOUL

THE WINDOW INTO SOUL


Don't believe me about the soul, learn from your own personal experiences first hand with the soul of good and evil. Become aware of how the soul operates by studying it. For being able to experience how the soul operates, leads to self reflection and introspection, which leads to catching the soul in action, and self-realization.


We are a mind living inside a human mammal, a homo sapien sapien, and we have identified our self with this creature through the contents of the soul; unaware of our individuality as the mind.


As we move through life, various memories are being delivered to our mind from the soul, causing us to think, speak and act in specific ways.


We never stop to think that we are not in full control of our thoughts and actions (objective), and yet we sometimes wonder why we think, speak and do the things we do - but such thoughts quickly fades. We believe we are in full control of our life, making the decisions and choices all on our own, but what you are about to discover is something quite different.


We have been educated by church and state, and therefore for the most part we have a "conditioned" free will; the contents of the soul (what we have been taught) directing our mind.


For example; you have been reading these teachings of Jesus and agreeing and disagreeing based upon your previous education, thereby at best generating a confused and limited understanding: just like reading a new technical book for the first time on a new subject. However, once you start to APPLY these teachings to your self, a clearer understanding becomes apparent.


The soul is an entity with Great power and ability. It functions in connection with the human brain and the five physical senses of the human body to create an experience for the mind. As such, the soul generates an energy field around and interpenetrating the human form (some call this an aura). Yes through this symbiotic relationship of the soul with the human form, the mind becomes identified with the human container, and this world is all it sees. Whether we are awake, or asleep, we are identified with this world and the contents of soul; to which we add to daily through the human experience.


Next we will not only reveal how it all works, but give you the ability to prove it to your self.

The soul operates using light and sound to produce a virtual reality and create emotional attachments to those virtual realities. The light is the substance used to form and illuminate the images, while the sound is the essence used to animate the images and provide the sound tracks (voices, music, noise). We experience these stage and screen productions in the dream state; while in the waking state we experience "talking to ourself" even arguing mentally with this imagery coming from soul; and of course, day dreaming. Up until today you have just experienced it as "a part of life", now we hope you are thinking about this subtle operation of soul.


All thoughts are but collections of images strung together and/or superimposed upon each other. Yes international and intercultural, completely separate from language, images are grouped together and arranged in specific orders to form ideas, ideals, attitudes, opinions, beliefs, etc. A person's collective imagery underlies their every thought, word and action.


These stored images in the soul form the basis of all our thoughts, feelings, emotions, words and actions. They are in the soul, and they are guiding us through life, moment-to-moment, forming our attitudes, opinions, desires, belief systems and habits. Even "supernatural" experiences are just the generated phenomena created by the soul using the light and sound of its stored imagery. This is a tough pill to swallow for those who have had the amazing, belief altering experiences of soul's White Light. Unfortunately those amazing, wonderful, emotional and oh so real experiences were all orchestrated by soul to deceive and lead you astray. You went nowhere, you saw nothing real.


The soul is all powerful and uses its imagery and energy to produce fantastic virtual realities; whatever it takes to keep us from the truth and under its control. The soul can create anything from seeing Jesus, Muhammad, fairies, elves, angels, gods, goddesses, saints, saviours, ascended masters, demons, devils, ghosts, aliens, UFO's, unicorn winged horses . . . including images of God or the voice of God, whatever it takes to deceive us! Every deception from heaven to hell and inbetween is awaiting the seeker on soul's paths.


This phenomena generated by soul can be seen in the dream state as one drifts off to sleep, or in the twilight state of consciousness, just before waking in the morning, or during passive meditation, or active meditation. On rare occasions when the conditions are just right, soul's imagery can appear to be projected externally in front of you like a mirage in the desert.


One just can't believe that there could be anything better than the "White Light" experiences generated by soul.



The following reference material has been provided to show this information is not new. Researchers such as Jung, Freud, Rampa, Gatz and others have had and found similar findings. These are just a few of the examples of the observations and conclusions discovered by these researchers. You see, this information about the soul and how it works is not new, it's just not widely taught or publicized.


"Visual and auditory sensory experiences apparently are placed in storage as if they had been permanently recorded on sound film." (Gatz, A. "Manter's Essentials of Clinical Neuroanatomy and Neurophysiology"; Philadelphia, Pa.; F.A. Davis & Co.; 1970, pg. 112.)


"It is possible for thought processes to become conscious through a reversion to visual residues. Thinking in pictures, approximates more closely to unconscious processes than does thinking in words, and is unquestionably older than the latter both ontogenetically and phylogenetically." (Freud, S. "The Ego and the Id"; New York; W.W. Norton & Co.; 1960, pg. 19.)


"The years I spent pursuing my inner images were the most important in my life." (Jung, C.G. "Memories, Dreams, Reflections"; New York; Vintage Books; 1963, pg. 199.)


"The psychological mechanism that transforms energy is the symbol. The true basis of symbolism is the correspondence linking together all orders of reality, binding them one to the other, and consequently extending from the natural order as a whole to the supernatural order. By virtue of this correspondence, the whole of nature is but a symbol, its true significance becoming apparent when it is seen as a pointer to supernatural or metaphysical truths." (Cirlot, J. "A Dictionary of Symbols"; New York; Philosophical Library; 1962, pgs. xxxi and xxxiv.)


"In dreams and half-dreaming states, the mind is filled with a throng of images and fantasies. It is here the natural tendencies and predilections of living stuff comes to expression. More than all, I think, here the organizing power of life fashions into orderly patterns the floating fantasies of the unconscious mind. Among the throng of random images and ideas, the unconscious mind rejects certain combinations as unimportant or incompatible but sees the significance of others. By this means, order-intellectual, esthetic, or spiritual is distinguished from randomness. One must recognize the operation in the unconscious of such an organizing factor, for chance alone is not creative. Just as the organism pulls together random, formless stuff into the patterned system of structure and function in the body, so the unconscious mind seems to select and arrange and correlate these ideas and images into a pattern. The resemblances between the two processes are close. The concept is worth considering that the organizing power of life, manifest in mind as well as in body, for the two are hardly separable, is the truly creative element. Creativity thus becomes an attribute of life." (Vernon, P.E. "Creativity, Selected Readings"; New York; Penguin Books; 1970, pg. 111.)


"The creative mechanism within you is impersonal. It will work automatically and impersonally to achieve goals of success and happiness, or unhappiness and failure, depending upon the goals which you yourself set for it. Present it with 'success goals' and it functions as a 'success mechanism'. Present it with negative goals, and it operates just as impersonally and just as faithfully as a failure mechanism. Like any other servomechanism, it must have a clear-cut goal, objective, or problem to work upon. The goals that our own creative mechanism seeks to achieve are MENTAL IMAGES, or mental pictures, which we create by the use of the Imagination." (Maltx, M. "Psyco-Cybernetics"; New York; Pocket Books; 1966, pg. 12.)


"Visualization increases when a person enters a state of directionless thought." (Horowitz, M. "Image Formation and Cognition"; New York; Appleton-Century-Crofts; 1970, pg. 30.)


"All servo-mechanisms achieve a goal by negative feedback, or by going forward, making mistakes, and immediately correcting cause. Further learning and continuous success is accomplished by forgetting the past errors and remembering the successful response so it can be imitated. You must learn to TRUST your creative mechanism to do its work and not 'jam it' by becoming too concerned or too anxious as to whether it will work or not ... or by attempting to force it by too much conscious effort. You must 'let it work' rather than trying to 'make it work.' This TRUST is necessary because your creative mechanism operates below the level of consciousness." (Maltx, M. "Psyco-Cybernetics"; New York; Pocket Books; 1966, pg. 26.)


"This creatively aspect of the psychic nucleus can come into play only when the ego gets rid of all purposive and wishful aims and tries to get to a deeper, more basic form of existence. The ego must be able to listen attentively and to give itself without any further design or purpose to that inner urge towards growth." (Jung, C.G. "Man and His Symbols"; Garden City, N.Y.; Doubleday and Co. Inc.; 1968, pgs. 161-163.)


"The mystic experience, brought about by concentrative meditation, de-automatization exercises, and other techniques intended to alter ordinary, linear consciousness is then a shift from that normal analytical world, containing separate, discrete objects and persons - to a second mode, an experience of Unity, a mode of intuition. This experience is outside the province of language and rationality. " (Ornstern, R. "The Psychology of Consciousness"; San Francisco, CA; W.H. Freeman & Co.; 1972, pg. 138.)


"Every event in the visible world is the effect of an 'image,' that is, of an idea in the unseen world. Accordingly, everything that happens on earth is only a reproduction of an event in a world beyond our sense perception; as regards its occurrence in time, it is later than the supra-sensible event. The holy men and sages, who are in contact with those higher spheres, have access to these ideas through direct intuition and are therefore able to intervene decisively in events in the world. Thus man is linked with heaven, the supra-sensible world of ideas, and with earth, the natural world of visible things, to form with these a trinity of the primal powers." (Wilheim, R. "The I Ching"; Princeton, N.J.; Princeton University Press; 1967, pg. lvii.)


"Place all your faith in your subconscious mind. Don't worry about the 'how' or the 'when' ... relax and mentally visualize a screen, one inch by two inches, right between your eyes. As soon as the screen appears clear before your vision, inject into the screen the image of what you want ... just ask for whatever your heart desires, and have faith ... leave everything else to the subconscious. It's amazing, the way it has of working out your problems and bringing about your desires. As success is experienced, your powers will likewise increase." (Wiekl, A.

How we experience life is based upon the arranged imagery stored in the soul. Life is but the "effect" of a continuum of this fate producing imagery moving us forward to a specific destiny. This imagery is the "cause" and how we experience life is the "effect."


So life-like are these images that, as they flow into our mind we become upset, mad, angry, laugh or become sad all over again just as it we were having the original experience. We clench our fists, grit our teeth, the muscles tense up and the soul employs its imagination to-add-to the original experience to make it more controlling in the future. We think it's us doing the thinking and the imagining, but we are just watching the soul at work with its imagery.


What we are attempting to explain is the "process of soul" whereby we are constantly being stimulated, internally and externally, to re-live and re-enact memories stored in the soul all day long (day-dreaming). Look around at the people around you day-dreaming. Better still watch your own behaviour.


As one looks deeper into how the soul operates we find that "try as we might" we just can't stop these old memories from surfacing and affecting the way we feel, think, speak and act. Why? Because our mind has been "conditioned over many years to operate in this way". Try it right now, see how long you can remain focused in the now before you are pulled away into a thought of the soul.


Since the soul has been designed to operate in this way, to stop the soul from managing our mind, we are going to have to become "aware" and stop the "chatter." We are going to have to make some changes in our understanding, and it's not going to be fast or easy.


We have been educated with specific political, social and religious imagery. The more time we devote to certain personal belief systems, the stronger mental and emotional identifications and attachments we form with those beliefs: they become our favorite images and what we live our life by.


Line Narcissus we are in love with our own imagery. The stronger the mental and emotional bonds, the greater influence and control they have over our lives. We encounter each experience in life based upon this stored imagery; forming all our likes, dislikes, loves, hates, fears, courage, etcetera.


Therefore, understanding how the soul operates, using its imagery to move us through life on a moment to moment basis, comes not only from reading about it, BUT from the experience of looking for this imagery in our life, and observing it in the lives of those around us.


Seeing how the soul operates is an opportunity for each one of us to understand just how this imagery relates to our present "belief systems," and thus our ability to make changes to those long held, most cherished beliefs; especially the ones that may not be working out for our betterment.


Once we start to experience the soul managing our thoughts and behaviour, we can then begin to understand what it is we must do to start the process of retaking control back from soul. For seeing the imagery of soul leads to introspection, which leads to catching soul in the act of controlling us, which leads to self-realization, which leads to wanting to be free from soul's control.


So, how can we see these images of soul? And the answer is, through the window of the soul. We will look out the window and onto the film clips of the soul, to see what is being transmitted for us to subconsciously see.


The window is located between the two eye brows in the center of the forehead (some call it the Eye Single). The film clips appear out there in the blackness, about a foot and a half away as one looks through the window of soul.


Awake or asleep the imagery of the soul constantly parades across this space for the mind to see and indentify with. The next time you are day dreaming catch yourself and see where your attention is focused, even though your eyes may be staring elsewhere. Or when you have to search the memory, feel your attention move up to the window. Or the next time you are having a conversation with someone and they have to search their memory to answer the question, watch their eyes move up as their attention shifts to the window.



As the mind looks through the window in the forehead an image forms in the darkness. As the mind views the image it becomes animated and begins to play out like a movie on a screen in a theater. As the mind identifies with the film clip it is pulled into this sequence of holographic images and becomes a participant in the soul's virtual reality. The holographic movie continues to run, with us participating, until we are startled, frightened, lose interest or some external stimuli brings us back into the physical body; just like in the dream during sleep, or the day dream when we are in a light trance.


Our life's experiences have already constructed thousands of these holographic movies, while soul's imagination has created thousands more to entertain and control us. At any given moment several of these film clips are competing for our attention, pulling us into a day dream. The process is so subtle it goes unnoticed and by adulthood we have become so habituated by the process that we think, speak and act according to these stored film clips of habits, opinions, attitudes, likes, dislikes, beliefs and so on, uttering cliches and rehearsed lines we live life semi-automated, acting and reacting routinely without a second thought as to why we are like we are or why we do what we do; it's all quite natural and normal to us. On a rare occasion there is that moment when we think to ourself, "Why did I say that?" or "Why did I do that?" but soul quickly re-directs our thinking away from such thoughts, usually with some busy activity or convincing rationalization like, "It's just a coincedence.".


The soul works on us from the moment we are born, with a massive attack on us as adolescents, and finally quickening control with the help of those already in adulthood. It's no wonder children don't like to be around adults; adults are so superficial, lifeless, automated and unnatural, they are no longer child-like.


As an adult, the process begins immediately when the soul receives some external or internal stimulation. The process takes place at the speed of light. As the stimulus "lights-up" one image, other connected and supporting images are lit-up and arranged into a film clip which appears out there in front of us of the screen of the window for the mind to see. It all takes place instantly; so fast and subtly that we don't notice the process. This operation of the soul goes on forever, unnoticed, unless someone educates us and we learn how to experience the process: so eventually we can take control of it and put a stop to soul controlling us.


We really need to educate our self, the mind, through direct first-hand experience with this process: for by doing so, we will begin the awakening and the realization of our individuality as the mind, separate from the soul and its human container. Once we can prove it to our self through actual personal experience, not by reading about it, the awakening can begin. So learning how to see the imagery through the window of the soul, is most important to an understanding of our self (the mind), and the soul and how it controls us.


There is a technique one can use to experience the imagery through the window of the soul, and the technique begins by imagining an image outside the window, thus providing the stimuli for soul, and then you "pretend" to move out through the window, and into that image, whereby it engulfs you in its virtual reality and the holographic film clip plays out with you inside.


The success of the technique depends upon your ability to "pretend" and nothing else. All you have to do is to pretend to see the image on the outside of the window. Next you pretend to move through the window and into the image. Then you pretend what is happening. You have to do this without thinking; just let things develop; go with the flow. Just pretend like the little child does with their imaginary friend, talking, listening, and acting out with their imaginary friend. The child doesn't question or wonder whether there is an imaginary friend, the friend is just there and playing along with them.


If you are startled or frightened by what you experience, then just like the dream state, you will come out of it. So there is nothing to fear. If you are questioning, thinking about, analyzing or wondering why nothing is happening, you will never get anywhere.


Being absent of thought, and pretending your way out and into the film clip, brings success. At some point, and don't try to catch it or see it, the pretending will be taken over by the actual experience and you will be going with the flow inside soul's virtual reality film clip.


Again; imagine an image; pretend to see it out there on the other side of the window; pretend to move out and into the image; pretend how things are unfolding until it takes over and then go with the flow as the pretending comes to life. You do it all the time when you are day dreaming about something from the past, as soul has pulled you into its film clip. The only difference is this time YOU are providing the stimuli to trigger soul's response.


Now let's trigger and activate soul's stored imagery, with respect to past lives, and experience it consciously as mind.


The more often you practice the technique the sooner you will get results, including the lucid "White Light" experiences of soul. Those with less analytical minds will find it easier; children can do it naturally.


Now you know of the spiritual deception as taught by Masters and Spiritual Organizations as an out of body experience, astral travel, soul travel, etcetera: accessing your past lives by viewing your Akashic Record Book on a so-called higher realm.


It's simply accessing the imagery of soul, but to the uneducated it's a life changing, beautiful, mystical experience, especially if the experience becomes the lucid White Light experience. Many wondrous experiences are awaiting the unsuspecting person with the "white Light" of soul; you can't imagine anything more beautiful, it must be heaven - it's not!


The Akashic Record Book is simply your soul. Karma (imagery of cause and effect) is just the fate producing film clips of soul which creates and controls our destiny; life's experiences adding to and altering this karmic imagery. Now let us take a visit to YOUR Akashic Record Book and see one of your so-called past lives.


Praise be to the God of the Living for the love of forgiveness in providing us infidels with a means to redeem our self and return Home.


Below is a sketch of the "Temple of Learning on the Soul Realm" where you will find your Akashic Record Book. You need to look at this visual so you can place it on the viewing screen. Remember, you need not be able to see this image clearly, or lucidly on the viewing screen, for the technique to work. The moment you first looked at this picture it was stored in soul. You just need to pretend to visualize it, to call it up out of soul, and onto the viewing screen.



Find a chair in a quiet area of your home. Sit up straight and get comfortable. Close your eyes gently and relax from the tips of your toes to the top of your head. Squirm around and wriggle in your chair until you are comfortable and relaxed. Take a couple of deep breaths to release any residual stress and focus your attention out onto the viewing screen, and pretend to visualize the image of the "Temple of Learning".


Now PRETEND that you fly out towards the "Temple of Learning" and in through the doorway at the front. Inside you see what looks like a pulpit straight ahead (down a long isle). PRETEND you fly down the isle to the pulpit where you see a book open on the pulpit. This is your Akashic Record Book and you may or may not be able to read it or see anything on the open pages. Next PRETEND to dive into one of the two pages which are open before you and a past life will begin to unfold as long as you don't "think" about whether it's happening or not. As long as you don't start thinking about and analyzing what's happening, and as long as you don't try to control or direct the scene, you will start to see a scene unfolding. Just watch like you would a movie or a show and go with the flow like the day dream. Be Patient.


When you're finished, just open your eyes. Above all don't be concerned if you are not having lucid visuals like in the dream state; the lucid visual is the exception and not the norm. Most people just see it happening in the twilight state as they are unable to fully penetrate the dark void. You see like you would your home if you walked around your home at night with all the lights off. What's important is learning about the soul and how it operates!


Like any skill in life you master that skill and become proficient by practice, practice, and more practice, not by knowing the information or instructions in a book. It's not easy, or everyone would be doing it; and because it is not easy, few people can persist long enough to make it work. It takes a lot of resolve to overcome the soul's whisperings, "it doesn't work, I can't do it, just more nonsense."


Just go to the "Temple of Learning" and fly inside to your book on the pulpit without any thoughts of who, what, when, where, why or how; without any questioning. Don't have any expectations about what you should or shouldn't be experiencing, after all, why would you have any expectations, you've never done this before, so how could you expect anything? Don't even consider, "am I there yet?", just go and do it without any thought. Don't be concerned about how the technique works, just know that it does work and do it! Just be there like the little child pretending in the moment, and not thinking about whether it's real or not, but just making it happen by pretending. Just be like the little child who would pretend s-he is flying up and out of the body and out through the window and into the "Temple of Learning," through the front door, and up to the pulpit and into one of the two pages of the open book and then going with the scene as it unfolds. Just one thought and your instantly back in the physical body. Keep thinking, instead of pretending and doing, and you'll never get out through the window of the soul.


Remember; when you are day dreaming about something, soul has easily pulled you out into the screen where you are focused on what it wants you to think about to the exclusion of everything else going on around you. Look around at the people in life day dreaming, self-hypnotized to the exclusion of their surroundings.


These are the teachings of Jesus, which have been given to us to help us understand who we are, where we are, and what is going on. These teachings of Jesus are meant to aid us in our lives here in the human experience and prepare us for the return Home. Peace Be Unto You All.


心灵之窗


 不要相信我关于灵魂的事,从你自己的亲身经历中学习善恶灵魂的第一手资料。 通过研究灵魂,了解它是如何运作的。 因为能够体验灵魂如何运作,导致自我反省和内省,从而导致在行动中捕捉灵魂和自我实现。



 我们是一个生活在人类哺乳动物体内的心灵,一个智人,我们通过灵魂的内容将我们的自我与这个生物相认同; 意识不到我们的个性。



 随着我们的生活,各种记忆从灵魂传递到我们的脑海中,使我们以特定的方式思考、说话和行动。



 我们永远不会停下来认为我们无法完全控制自己的思想和行为(客观),但有时我们想知道为什么我们会思考、说话和做我们所做的事情——但这种想法很快就会消失。 我们相信我们可以完全控制自己的生活,完全由我们自己做出决定和选择,但是您将要发现的是完全不同的东西。



 我们受过教会和国家的教育,因此在大多数情况下,我们拥有“受条件限制”的自由意志; 灵魂的内容(我们所学的)指导我们的思想。



 例如; 你一直在阅读耶稣的这些教导,并根据你以前的教育同意和不同意,从而最多产生一种混乱和有限的理解:就像第一次阅读一本关于新主题的新技术书籍。 然而,一旦你开始将这些教导应用到你自己身上,你就会有更清晰的理解。



 灵魂是一个拥有巨大力量和能力的实体。 它与人脑和人体的五种身体感官相结合,为心灵创造一种体验。 因此,灵魂会在人形周围产生一个能量场并相互渗透(有些人称之为光环)。 是的,通过灵魂与人类形态的这种共生关系,心灵与人类容器认同,这个世界就是它所看到的。 无论我们是醒着的,还是睡着的,我们都认同这个世界和灵魂的内容; 我们每天都会通过人类经验添加到其中。



 接下来,我们不仅会揭示这一切是如何运作的,还会让您有能力向自己证明这一点。


 灵魂使用光和声来产生虚拟现实,并为这些虚拟现实创造情感依恋。 光是用于形成和照亮图像的物质,而声音是用于为图像设置动画和提供音轨(声音、音乐、噪音)的本质。 我们在梦境中体验这些舞台和银幕作品; 在清醒状态下,我们经历“自言自语”,甚至在精神上与这种来自灵魂的意象争论; 当然,还有白日梦。 直到今天,您才刚刚将其体验为“生活的一部分”,现在我们希望您正在思考灵魂的这种微妙运作。



 所有的想法都不过是串在一起和/或相互叠加的图像的集合。 是的,国际和跨文化,与语言完全分离,图像被组合在一起并按特定顺序排列,以形成思想、理想、态度、意见、信仰等。一个人的集体意象是他们每一个思想、言语和行动的基础。



 这些存储在灵魂中的图像构成了我们所有思想、感觉、情感、言语和行为的基础。 它们在灵魂中,时时刻刻都在引导我们度过一生,形成我们的态度、意见、愿望、信仰体系和习惯。 甚至“超自然”的体验也只是灵魂使用其存储的图像的光和声音所产生的现象。 对于那些经历过灵魂白光惊人的、改变信仰的经历的人来说,这是一颗难以下咽的药丸。 不幸的是,那些惊人的、美妙的、感性的和如此真实的经历都是由灵魂精心策划的,以欺骗和引导你误入歧途。 你无处可去,你没有看到任何真实的东西。



 灵魂是万能的,用它的意象和能量创造出梦幻般的虚拟现实; 不惜一切代价让我们远离真相并受其控制。 灵魂可以通过看到耶稣、穆罕默德、仙女、精灵、天使、众神、女神、圣人、救世主、扬升大师、恶魔、魔鬼、鬼魂、外星人、不明飞行物、独角兽翼马来创造任何东西。 . . 包括上帝的形象或上帝的声音,无论用什么来欺骗我们! 从天堂到地狱和中间的每一个欺骗都在等待着灵魂之路上的探索者。



 这种由灵魂产生的现象可以在梦境中,如入睡时,或在意识的黄昏状态中,在早晨醒来之前,或在被动冥想或主动冥想中看到。 在极少数情况下,当条件恰到好处时,灵魂的意象可能会像沙漠中的海市蜃楼一样投射在您面前。



 简直无法相信还有比灵魂产生的“白光”体验更好的事情。




 已提供以下参考资料以表明此信息并非新信息。 荣格、弗洛伊德、兰帕、加茨等研究人员都有并发现了类似的发现。 这些只是这些研究人员发现的观察和结论的几个例子。 你看,这些关于灵魂及其运作方式的信息并不新鲜,只是没有被广泛传授或宣传。



 “视觉和听觉感官体验显然被储存起来,就好像它们被永久记录在有声电影中一样。” (Gatz, A.“Manter 的临床神经解剖学和神经生理学要点”;宾夕法尼亚州费城;F.A. Davis & Co.;1970,第 112 页。)

 “转化能量的心理机制是象征。象征主义的真正基础是将现实的所有秩序联系在一起的对应关系,将它们彼此联系起来,从而从整个自然秩序延伸到超自然秩序。凭借美德 在这种对应关系中,整个自然只是一个象征,当它被视为指向超自然或形而上学真理的指针时,它的真正意义就变得显而易见了。” (Cirlot, J.“符号词典”;纽约;哲学图书馆;1962,第 xxxi 和 xxxiv。)



 “在做梦和半梦半醒的状态下,头脑中充满了大量的图像和幻想。在这里,生物的自然倾向和偏好得到了表达。我认为,最重要的是,这里是生活时尚的组织力 将潜意识漂浮的幻想整理成有序的模式。在大量随机的图像和想法中,潜意识拒绝某些不重要或不相容的组合,但看到其他组合的重要性。通过这种方式,秩序-智力、审美或精神是 与随机性区别开来。人们必须认识到这种组织因素在无意识中的运作,因为仅靠偶然性是没有创造性的。正如有机体将随机的、无形的东西聚集到身体结构和功能的模式系统中一样,无意识 头脑似乎在选择和排列这些想法和图像并将它们关联成一个模式。这两个过程之间的相似之处很接近。这个概念值得反对 认为生命的组织力量,体现在思想和身体上,因为两者几乎不可分割,才是真正的创造性元素。 因此,创造力成为生活的一种属性。”(弗农,体育“创造力,选读”;纽约;企鹅图书;1970 年,第 111 页。)



 “你内在的创造性机制是非个人的。它会自动地、非个人地工作来实现成功和幸福或不幸和失败的目标,这取决于你自己为它设定的目标。用‘成功目标’来呈现它,它的作用是 一个“成功机制”。向它提出消极目标,它像失败机制一样客观和忠实地运行。像任何其他伺服机制一样,它必须有一个明确的目标、目标或问题来解决。 我们自己的创造机制寻求实现的目标是我们通过使用想象力创造的心理图像或心理图像。” (Maltx, M.“心理控制论”;纽约;袖珍图书;1966 年,第 12 页。)



 “当一个人进入无方向的思考状态时,可视化会增加。” (Horowitz, M.“图像形成和认知”;纽约;Appleton-Century-Crofts;1970,第 30 页。)



 “所有伺服机制都是通过负反馈来实现目标的,或者通过前进,犯错误,并立即纠正原因。通过忘记过去的错误并记住成功的响应从而可以模仿它来实现进一步的学习和持续的成功。你必须 学会信任你的创造性机制来完成它的工作,而不是通过过于担心或过于焦虑它是否会起作用而“干扰它”……或者试图通过太多有意识的努力来强迫它。你必须“让 它起作用”,而不是试图“让它起作用”。 这种信任是必要的,因为你的创造机制在意识水平之下运作。” (Maltx, M.“心理控制论”;纽约;袖珍图书;1966 年,第 26 页。)



 “只有当自我摆脱所有有目的的和一厢情愿的目标并试图获得更深层次、更基本的存在形式时,精神核的这一创造性方面才能发挥作用。自我必须能够专注地倾听并给予自己 没有任何进一步的设计或目的来实现对增长的内在冲动。” (Jung, C.G.“人和他的象征”;纽约花园城;Doubleday and Co. Inc.;1968,第 161-163 页。)



 “由专注冥想、去自动化练习和其他旨在改变普通线性意识的技术带来的神秘体验,然后是从包含分离的、离散的对象和人的正常分析世界转变为第二种模式,一个 团结的体验,一种直觉模式。这种体验超出了语言和理性的范畴。”(Ornstern, R.“意识心理学”;旧金山,加利福尼亚;WH Freeman & Co.;1972,第 138 页。 )



 “可见世界中的每一个事件都是一个‘形象’的结果,也就是不可见世界中一个想法的结果。因此,地球上发生的一切都只是一个超出我们感官感知世界的事件的再现;如 就其发生的时间而言,它晚于超感事件。与那些更高领域接触的圣人和圣人通过直接直觉获得这些想法,因此能够果断地干预这些事件。 世界。因此,人与天堂,超感性的思想世界,以及地球,可见事物的自然世界,形成三位一体的原始力量。” (Wilheim, R. 《易经》;新泽西州普林斯顿;普林斯顿大学出版社;1967 年,第 lvii。)



 “把你所有的信念都放在你的潜意识里。不要担心'如何'或'何时'......放松并在精神上想象一个屏幕,一英寸乘两英寸,就在你的眼睛之间。一旦屏幕出现 清晰地呈现在你的视野中,将你想要的画面注入屏幕......只要你内心渴望什么,并有信心......把其他的一切都留给潜意识。这太神奇了,它的锻炼方式 你的问题,带来你的欲望。随着成功的经历,你的力量也会增加。” (Wiekl, A.“创意可视化”;纽约;格林威治图书出版社;1958 年,第 67-68 页。)

 “知识不会丰富我们,它让我们越来越远离我们曾经因出生而在家的神话世界。” (荣格,C.G.“回忆、梦想、反思”;纽约;复古书籍;1963 年,第 252 页。)




 我们如何体验生活是基于存储在灵魂中的排列好的意象。 生活只是这种命运的连续统一体的“效果”,产生的意象将我们推向特定的命运。 这种意象是“因”,我们如何体验生活是“果”。



 这些图像是如此栩栩如生,当它们流入我们的脑海时,我们会变得沮丧、生气、愤怒、发笑或变得悲伤,就像我们拥有原始体验一样。 我们握紧拳头,咬紧牙关,肌肉绷紧,灵魂发挥想象力,添加到原始体验中,使其在未来更具控制力。 我们认为是我们在思考和想象,但我们只是在用它的意象观察灵魂在工作。



 我们试图解释的是“灵魂的过程”,在这个过程中,我们不断受到内部和外部的刺激,重新活出和重现存储在灵魂中的整天(做白日梦)的记忆。 看看周围的人在做白日梦。 最好还是注意自己的行为。



 当深入了解灵魂的运作方式时,我们会发现“尽我们所能”,我们​​无法阻止这些旧记忆浮现并影响我们的感觉、思考、说话和行为方式。 为什么? 因为我们的头脑已经“多年以来已经习惯于以这种方式运作”。 立即尝试,看看在你被拉入灵魂的思想之前,你可以保持专注于当下多久。



 由于灵魂被设计为以这种方式运作,以阻止灵魂管理我们的思想,我们将不得不变得“意识到”并停止“喋喋不休”。 我们将不得不对我们的理解做出一些改变,这不会很快或容易。



 我们接受了特定的政治、社会和宗教意象的教育。 我们花在某些个人信仰体系上的时间越多,我们对这些信仰形成的心理和情感认同和依恋就越强烈:它们成为我们最喜​​欢的形象,成为我们生活的依据。



 Line Narcissus 我们爱上了自己的意象。 精神和情感纽带越牢固,它们对我们生活的影响和控制就越大。 我们根据这些存储的图像遇到生活中的每一次经历; 形成我们所有的好恶、爱、恨、恐惧、勇气等。



 因此,理解灵魂如何运作,利用它的意象时时刻刻推动我们度过一生,不仅来自阅读它,而且来自在我们的生活中寻找这种意象并在生活中观察它的经验 我们周围的人。



 看到灵魂如何运作是我们每个人了解这种意象如何与我们目前的“信仰体系”相关联的机会,从而了解我们改变那些长期持有、最珍视的信仰的能力; 尤其是那些可能无法改善我们的工作。



 一旦我们开始体验灵魂管理我们的思想和行为,我们就可以开始理解我们必须做什么才能开始重新控制灵魂的过程。 因为看到灵魂的意象会导致内省,从而导致在控制我们的行为中捕捉灵魂,从而导致自我实现,从而导致想要摆脱灵魂的控制。



 那么,我们如何才能看到这些灵魂的形象呢? 答案是,通过灵魂之窗。 我们将望向窗外,凝视灵魂的电影片段,看看正在传递给我们下意识地看到的东西。



 窗口位于前额中央的两个眉毛之间(有人称之为单眼)。 电影剪辑出现在黑暗中,当人们透过灵魂之窗看时,大约一英尺半。



 醒来或睡着时,灵魂的意象不断地在这个空间中游荡,供头脑查看和识别。 下次你做白日梦时,抓住自己,看看你的注意力集中在哪里,即使你的眼睛可能盯着别处。 或者当你必须搜索记忆时,感觉你的注意力转移到了窗户上。 或者,下次您与某人交谈并且他们必须搜索自己的记忆来回答问题时,当他们的注意力转移到窗户时,看着他们的眼睛向上移动。




 当心灵透过前额的窗户看时,一个图像在黑暗中形成。 当头脑看到图像时,它变得生动起来,并开始像电影院的屏幕上的电影一样播放。 当大脑识别出影片剪辑时,它就会被拉入这一系列全息图像中,并成为灵魂虚拟现实的参与者。 全息电影继续播放,有我们参与,直到我们感到震惊、害怕、失去兴趣或一些外部刺激将我们带回肉体; 就像在睡觉时做梦,或者在我们处于轻微恍惚状态时做的白日梦。



 我们的生活经历已经构建了数千部这样的全息电影,而灵魂的想象力又创造了数千部来娱乐和控制我们。 在任何特定时刻,这些电影片段中的一些都在争夺我们的注意力,将我们拉入白日梦。 这个过程非常微妙以至于被忽视,到了成年我们已经习惯了这个过程,以至于我们根据这些存储的习惯、观点、态度、喜欢、不喜欢、信仰等的电影片段来思考、说话和行动,说出陈词滥调 和排练的台词,我们过着半自动化的生活,有规律地表演和反应,而不去想为什么我们会像现在这样或我们为什么做我们所做的事情; 这对我们来说都是很自然和正常的。 在极少数情况下,我们会想,“我为什么要那样说?” 或“我为什么这样做?” 但灵魂很快将我们的思维从这些想法中转移开,通常是通过一些忙碌的活动或令人信服的合理化,比如“这只是一个巧合。”。



 从我们出生的那一刻起,灵魂就在我们身上工作,在青少年时期对我们进行大规模攻击,最后在已经成年的人的帮助下加速控制。 难怪孩子们不喜欢和成年人在一起; 成年人是如此肤浅、毫无生气、自动化和不自然,他们不再像孩子一样。



 作为成年人,当灵魂接受一些外部或内部刺激时,这个过程立即开始。 该过程以光速进行。 当刺激“点亮”一个图像时,其他连接的和支持的图像被点亮并排列成一个电影剪辑,出现在我们面前的窗口屏幕前,供大脑观看。 这一切都发生在瞬间; 如此快速和巧妙以至于我们没有注意到这个过程。 灵魂的这种运作会永远持续下去,不被注意,除非有人教育我们并且我们学会如何体验这个过程:所以最终我们可以控制它并阻止灵魂控制我们。



 我们真的需要通过这个过程的直接第一手经验来教育我们的自我,心灵:因为这样做,我们将开始觉醒和实现我们作为心灵的个性,与灵魂及其人类容器分开。 一旦我们可以通过实际的个人经验向自己证明这一点,而不是通过阅读它,觉醒就可以开始了。 因此,学习如何通过灵魂之窗看意象,对于了解我们的自我(思想)、灵魂以及它如何控制我们是最重要的。



 有一种技巧可以用来体验透过心灵之窗的影像,这个技巧是先想象窗外的影像,从而为灵魂提供刺激,然后你“假装”穿过窗户走出去, 并进入那个图像,它让你沉浸在虚拟现实中,全息电影剪辑在你里面播放。



 该技术的成功取决于您“假装”的能力,仅此而已。 您所要做的就是假装看到窗户外面的图像。 接下来,您假装穿过窗户进入图像。 然后你假装发生了什么。 你必须不假思索地这样做; 顺其自然; 顺其自然。 就像小孩子和他们想象中的朋友那样假装,和他们想象中的朋友交谈、倾听和表演。 孩子不会质疑或怀疑是否有一个想象中的朋友,这个朋友就在那里,和他们一起玩。



 如果你对你所经历的感到震惊或害怕,那么就像梦境一样,你会从中走出来。 所以没什么好害怕的。 如果你在质疑、思考、分析或想知道为什么什么都没有发生,你将一事无成。



 心不在焉,假装自己的出路进入电影剪辑,会带来成功。 在某些时候,不要试图抓住它或看到它,假装将被实际体验所取代,你将随着灵魂的虚拟现实电影剪辑内的流动而前进。



 再次; 想象一个图像; 假装在窗户的另一边看到它; 假装移出并进入图像; 假装事情是如何展开的,直到它接管,然后随着假装变得生动而随波逐流。 当你白日梦到过去的事情时,你总是这样做,因为灵魂已经把你拉进了它的电影片段。 唯一的区别是这次你提供刺激来触发灵魂的反应。



 现在让我们触发和激活灵魂储存的关于前世的意象,并有意识地体验它作为心。



 您练习该技术的次数越多,您就会越早获得结果,包括灵魂的清晰“白光”体验。 那些分析能力较差的人会发现它更容易; 孩子们自然可以做到。



 现在你知道大师和精神组织教导的精神欺骗是一种出体体验、星体旅行、灵魂旅行等:通过在所谓的更高领域查看你的阿卡西记录簿来访问你的前世。



 它只是访问灵魂的意象,但对于未受过教育的人来说,这是一种改变生活、美丽、神秘的体验,尤其是当这种体验变成清晰的白光体验时。 许多奇妙的经历正等待着灵魂“白光”的不知情者; 你无法想象有什么比这更美的了,它一定是天堂——不是!



 阿卡西记录簿就是你的灵魂。 业力(因果意象)只是命运,制作灵魂的电影片段,创造和控制我们的命运; 生活的经历增加和改变了这种业力的意象。 现在让我们访问你的阿卡西记录簿,看看你所谓的前世之一。



 赞美生命之神,因为他对宽恕的爱为我们异教徒提供了救赎自我并返回家园的方法。



 下面是“灵魂领域的学习神殿”的草图,您可以在那里找到您的阿卡西记录簿。 您需要查看此视觉对象,以便将其放置在查看屏幕上。 请记住,您不需要能够在查看屏幕上清楚地或清晰地看到此图像,该技术才能发挥作用。 当你第一次看到这张照片的时候,它就被储存在灵魂里。 你只需要假装想象它,从灵魂中召唤它,并在观看屏幕上。




 在家里安静的地方找一把椅子。 坐直并获得舒适。 轻轻闭上眼睛,从脚趾尖到头顶放松。 在椅子上扭来扭去,直到你感到舒适和放松。 深呼吸几次以释放任何残留的压力,并将您的注意力集中在观看屏幕上,并假装想象“学习之殿”的形象。



 现在假装你飞向“学堂”,然后从前面的门口飞进去。 在里面你会看到看起来像一个正前方的讲坛(沿着一条长长的小岛)。 假装你沿着小岛飞到讲台上,在那里你看到讲台上有一本书打开。 这是你的阿卡西记录簿,你可能会也可能不会阅读它或在打开的页面上看到任何东西。 接下来假装潜入在你面前打开的两页中的一页,只要你不“思考”它是否正在发生,前世就会开始展开。 只要你不开始思考和分析正在发生的事情,只要你不试图控制或指挥场景,你就会开始看到一个场景正在展开。 就像看电影或表演一样观看,像白日梦一样随波逐流。 要有耐心。



 完成后,只需睁开眼睛。 最重要的是,如果您没有像在梦境中那样清晰的视觉效果,请不要担心; 清晰的视觉是例外而不是常态。 大多数人只是在暮光状态中看到它发生,因为他们无法完全穿透黑暗的虚空。 如果你在晚上关掉所有的灯在家里走动,你会看到你的家。 重要的是了解灵魂及其运作方式!



 就像生活中的任何技能一样,您掌握该技能并通过练习、练习和更多练习变得熟练,而不是通过了解书中的信息或说明。 这并不容易,否则每个人都会这样做; 并且因为它并不容易,很少有人能够坚持足够长的时间让它发挥作用。 需要很大的决心才能克服灵魂的低语,“不行,我做不到,只是更胡说八道。”



 只需去“学习之殿”,然后飞到讲台上看你的书,不去想谁、什么、何时、何地、为什么或如何; 没有任何质疑。 不要对你应该或不应该经历什么抱有任何期望,毕竟你为什么会有期望,你以前从来没有这样做过,所以你怎么能期望什么? 甚至不要考虑“我到了吗?”,就去做吧,不加思索。 不要关心技术如何工作,只要知道它确实有效并去做! 就像那个小孩子在那一刻假装在那里,不考虑它是否真实,只是通过假装让它发生。 就像那个假装自己飞出身体的小孩一样,从窗户飞出,进入“学堂”,通过前门,登上讲台,进入两者之一 打开书的页面,然后随着场景展开。 只需一个念头,您就会立即回到肉体中。 继续思考,而不是假装和做,你永远不会从灵魂的窗户出去。



 记住; 当你在做白日梦时,灵魂很容易将你拉到屏幕上,在那里你专注于它想让你思考的事情,而排除你周围发生的一切。 环顾四周,生活在白日梦中的人,自我催眠,排斥周围的环境。



 这些是耶稣的教导,给予我们帮助我们了解我们是谁,我们在哪里,正在发生什么。 耶稣的这些教义旨在帮助我们在这里的人类经历中的生活,并为我们回家做好准备。 愿大家平安。

Are Vaccine Mandates Constitutional?


August 05, 2021


As students return to school, hundreds of colleges and universities are requiring those returning to campus to get coronavirus vaccines. Recently, a federal appeals court declined to grant an injunction against Indiana University’s vaccine mandate after it was challenged in a lawsuit by students who say it violates their constitutional rights. On this week’s episode, we discuss the Indiana case as well as the constitutionality of vaccination mandates issued or being considered by different institutions including schools; discuss whether states or the federal government may also have the power to issue vaccine mandates; and explain how Supreme Court cases, including those from over a century ago, might impact this question. Wendy K. Mariner, professor at the Boston University Schools of Public Health, Law, and Medicine, and Josh Blackman, constitutional law professor at the South Texas College of Law Houston, join host Jeffrey Rosen.


TRANSCRIPT

This transcript may not be in its final form, accuracy may vary, and it may be updated or revised in the future.

 [00:00:00] Jeffrey Rosen: I'm Jeffrey Rosen, President and CEO of the National Constitution Center. And welcome to We The People, a weekly show of constitutional debate. The National Constitution Center is a nonpartisan, nonprofit chartered by Congress to increase awareness and understanding of the constitution among the American people. It's back to school time and more than 500 institutions have started requiring coronavirus vaccines. Indiana University's vaccine mandate was recently upheld by a federal appeals court. And just a few days ago, a law professor sued George Mason University for requiring unvaccinated faculty and staff to wear masks and undergo frequent testing. On today's episode, we will explore the question, "Are vaccine mandates constitutional?" I'm joined by two of America's leading experts on this question and on the US Supreme Court case that is at the heart of the legal arguments, which is called Jacobson versus Massachusetts. Josh Blackman is a Constitutional Law Professor at the South Texas College of Law Houston, an Adjunct Scholar at the Cato Institute and President of the Harlan Institute.

He's blogged on vaccine mandates and the Volokh Conspiracy, and is the author of the forthcoming article, The Irrepressible Myth of Jacobson. Josh, it is wonderful to have you back on the show.

[00:01:21] Josh Blackman: Good to be back, Jeff.

[00:01:24] Jeffrey Rosen: And Wendy. K. Mariner is the Edward R. Utley Emeritus Professor of Health Law at Boston University School of Public Health and holds professorships in the school of law and the school of medicine. She is the co author of many works on public health and constitutional rights, including Jacobson versus Massachusetts: It's Not Your Great-Great-Grandfather's Public Health Law. Wendy, thank you so much for joining.

[00:01:48] Wendy K. Mariner: Delighted to be here.

[00:01:50] Jeffrey Rosen: Let us begin with the challenge to Indiana University's vaccination mandate. The case is called Klaassen v Trustees of Indiana University. The university required all faculty, students, and staff to have a COVID vaccine and be fully vaccinated or have an approved exemption before returning to campus. And the mandate was upheld by a district court and by the Seventh Circuit. Wendy, tell us about the core holding of the courts below namely that vaccination mandates are consistent with the Supreme court case Jacobson versus Massachusetts.

[00:02:32] Wendy K. Mariner: Well, the plaintiff's raised students raised a a kind of argument that Jacobson might've raised, which was that the mandate violated their 14th Amendment, "Rights of personal autonomy and bodily integrity and the right to reject medical treatment." Both the district court and as you pointed out, the Seventh Circuit rejected that claim on several grounds. The district court judge said, "Well, there was certainly no coercion here. The students were not being forced to get vaccinated. They could find a new school or get a job elsewhere for the staff." Seventh Circuit agreed saying that while the plaintiff's claim that Jacobson used a rational basis standard, of course, didn't that was before the Supreme Court developed the tiers of scrutiny. But the Seventh Circuit Judge Easterbrook interestingly pointed out that universities require students to read and write things they would prefer not to.

And that that's not a First Amendment violation and he noted, and I quote, "It's hard to see a greater problem with medical conditions that help all students remain safe while learning. I think they emphasize that there was no constitutional right to attend a particular institution and that vaccination is simply a condition of entry onto the campus. They have... Universities have eligibility standards, and this is one."

[00:03:46] Jeffrey Rosen: Thank you so much for that. Josh, as Wendy points out there were holdings by the district court, which said that the vaccine mandate is a neutral rule of general applicability. And by the Seventh Circuit where Judge Easterbrook wrote that the case is easier than Jacobson, Massachusetts for two reasons, Jacobson had no exception for adults. The Indiana University has exceptions for those who believe vaccinations are incompatible with their religious beliefs. And second, this is not a requirement for every adult member of the public, only those who attend the University of Indiana. People who don't want to be vaccinated can go elsewhere. What else can you tell us descriptively about what the district court and the appellate court held about Indiana's vaccination mandate?

[00:04:48] Josh Blackman: Well, let's take a step back a little bit further to go to 1905. Constitutional law was in a very different place in 1905. The entire modern edifice of due process and equal protection and tiers of scrutiny simply did not exist. Cambridge, Massachusetts enacted a policy that said, ""f you fail to vaccinated, you have to pay a $5 penalty." That was a criminal offense. There's no actual requirement to get vaccinated. If you pay the $5 penalty, you could go on spreading small pox in your community be at this $5 penalty. At the time, many states had upheld school vaccination requirements. And if you want to attend a public school, you had to be vaccinated. But at the time it was fairly novel for there to be a community wide requirement. There'll be decisions from North Carolina and Georgia upholding this. Jacobson became the test case, so to speak to the Supreme Court and in a decision that's put seven to two by Justice Harlan, the judge that both you and I admire deeply the court upheld the Cambridge policy.

And this was very much a decision in the early 20th Century. The court said, "Unless there is a clear and palpable violation of the constitution the, the, the courts will not get in the way." I think we should be very careful not to put too much weight onto Jacobson. This is a case that has not aged well, and it's inconsiste... It consisted a lot of precedent. The Supreme Court also recognizes in Calvary Chapel Roman Catholic Diocese, that this is not a case you want to put a lot of weight on. But for Indiana, you don't need to, right? Even before Jacobson courts across the country upheld vaccine requirements as a condition of school, right? "You're attending a school, it's a privilege. It's not a right." I think Wendy said that quite correctly and the school can have various requirements. So I don't think you need any sort of complicated issues.

It's also worth noting the Indiana policy had exemptions for disability and for religious exercise. I think there were nine plaintiffs, eight of the met religious exercise exemption. So there's only one person who sought to sue who didn't meet either exemption. And he unfortunately did not prevail. He asked to perhaps go somewhere else to get the shot. But I don't think Jacobson is necessary for the Indiana case as sort of just cited as background material, but it's, it's the state conditions for attending a school.

[00:07:00] Jeffrey Rosen: Yeah. Thank you so much for that. Well, Wendy, Josh has put squarely on the table, the Jacobson case, which both of you have written about and in your article, It's Not Your Great-Great-Grandfather's Public Health Law, you argue that invoking Jacobson, a law that authorizes mandatory vaccination during an epidemic of a lethal disease with refusal punishable by a monetary penalty, like the one in Jacobson would be found constitutional. A law that authorizes mandatory vaccination to prevent dangerous contagious diseases in the absent of an epidemic like a school immunization requirement upheld in 1922 by Justice Brandeis of all people also would probably be upheld under certain conditions. But you say that the legitimacy of compulsory vaccination programs depends on the scientific factors and constitutional limits. Tell us more about those important arguments that you make in your article about Jacobson.

[00:07:52] Wendy K. Mariner: Well, it's not simply the constitutional doctrine that governs, constitutional doctrine has to be applied in the context of the disease. And so what you find is if you... Are vaccine mandates constitutional, you ask law professors and they say, "It depends." Some are, and some may not be, it depends on really scientific factors. The, you know, the, the justification for requiring vaccination depends on several things. One is the prevalence of a contagious disease. A second is how easily it's transmitted, for example, through the air or by something that you touch as smallpox was the severity of disease symptoms that arise if someone is infected no cure, if there's no treatment available to provide it. And obviously the availability of an effective vaccine that can prevent transmission or serious disease.

And in that case, in this case, the coronavirus meets all these conditions. At the time, Jacobson was decided vaccine development was in its infancy, of course. And there were some concerns and the [laughs] FDA wasn't even established until 1938. So we ha... We had a long way from the situation scientifically and medically in 1905 from today. We have a lot more tools to protect people and prevent the transmission of illness.

[00:09:28] Jeffrey Rosen: Thank you so much for that. Josh, do you agree with Wendy's argument that the constitutionality of various vaccine requirements turns on contextual factors, including the effectiveness of the vaccine and, and health tests, and then tell us about your forthcoming article, The Irrepressible Myth of Jacobson, which is so buzzy that it may have been read at the Supreme Court where Justice Gorsuch invoked similar arguments in his recent piece about religious exemptions.

[00:09:59] Josh Blackman: Sure. I'll be frank, I don't think Jacobson stands on very strong legs. And with respect to Wendy, I think it's an old decision. Just to give you a sense Jeff, Jacobson was decided two months before Lochner was decided. This was decided by basically the same core as Lochner. Of course Lochner split five to four, this was seven to two, but constitutional law was in a very different place in 19, teens. It was just a very different world. In the modern sense, substantive due process, the due process clause protection rights is read differently. We ask, "Is there a fundamental right? Are there rights that are deeply rooted in tradition and history? Is there a violation of dignity?" To Justice Kennedy's favorite word?

There are lots of tests simply are not there in Jacobson. I think the outcome's probably the same, I think under modern decisions like Washington v. Glucksberg and Cruzan and others, a substantive due process claim would probably fail. But let me just give you one caveat. I think the penalty has to be low. If this was a regime that re... That maybe Wendy has thoughts that, that resulted in endless incarceration. I imagine you were put in jail until you submitted to a shot. I think that will be harder to justify. I mean, maybe Wendy has thoughts the fact that you only had a $5 penalty, I think a significant. There's another case I mentioned, I think it was in North Carolina Supreme Court decision from the late 1800s where person who basically kept in jail for 30 days until they got their shot would be extended indefinitely. That I think will be tougher to justify. In other words, you're putting a person who's not vaccinated in a closed environment where they can spread COVID to the prisons not that's a good idea either, right?

So I think there are actually some, some serious issues of how the mandate's enforced. I think you should also consider people who have natural immunity. This is the issue that is raised in the Virginia Case. People who might plausibly claim to have natural immunity may have better protections than what gets, you know, the Chinese vaccine, the Sinopharm, right?

So th-there are some preps plays in the joints over how those enforced, right? All laws must be rational if the policy lacks rationality and even courts might be skeptical of it. I hope it doesn't get to it. I hope no jurisdiction acts a vaccine mandate because it'll just be held up in court forever. But I don't think that Jacobson holds, I do think there's a bit of a myth surrounding the case that, that just will not seem to seem to fade.

[00:12:12] Jeffrey Rosen: Thank you so much for that. Wendy do you agree with Josh that although Jacobsen might allow for low level fines, it would not allow for coerced vaccinations. And then Josh introduces this Virginia Case where Professor Todd Zwicky has said that he already had COVID he has antibodies against it and therefore the George Mason Policy requiring unvaccinated faculty and staff members to wear masks and physically distance themselves is coercive and can't be considered anything other than an unlawful mandate. There's no compelling interest in overriding his personal autonomy rights and it's poorly calibrated to protect public health. What do you think of the contextual claims that Professors Zwicky raises in the Virginia Case?

[00:12:59] Wendy K. Mariner: Well, let me take your first question first and deal with the question of natural immunity second. You might be surprised that I agree with Josh that perhaps that it is that the Jacobson case is not what many people assume it to be, and that particularly people in public health often assume that it provides justification for almost any kind of law governing that has a goal ultimately of governing public health or improving public health. It is a really a case of first impression. It was really perhaps the first case before the United States Supreme Court that actually dealt with mandatory restrictions on an individual's personal liberty for public health purposes. There have been cases about police power. That was really where we really jurisdictional disputes between the federal and state governments and a few cases involving regulation of businesses, imposing health and safety regulations in places like mining.

But this was really an issue of individual regulating an individual. And I do think that it has been bandied about usually in a string site without much attention to the context. And it may be, I think what Cass Sunstein has called, "A narrow and shallow case," that it applied to a narrow set of circumstances, and it didn't have a, of doctrinal underpinnings that could be applied elsewhere. It's just too general, like almost any case of first impression. That said, I think it does raise questions that are timeless about the scope of state power and the scope of individual liberty. The hard question in these cases that we talk about in class a lot is, "So what would your enforcement mechanism be?"

It, Jacobson must have been a very easy case actually since no one was forced to get vaccinated. And there certainly is an enormous amount of reluctance, both in that, in the population and in the judiciary to forcibly impose medical conditions and, and, you know, shots and drugs on people with some exceptions in psychiatric institutions and often with... Well, I'll leave that for another day [laughs].

[00:15:21] Jeffrey Rosen: Josh, so we're talking about a bunch of different constitutional cases, and maybe you can desegregate them for our listeners and tell us what you think about them. You've said that the Jacobson case, which said that this Massachusetts could fine the individual for not being vaccinated no longer it would be at the center of the Supreme Court's considerations. And instead invoked cases like the Cruzan case, which said the people do have a right to refuse unwanted medical treatment and the Glucksberg case, which said that in deciding whether or not there is a right to die, the court will carefully look at history and tradition in evaluating whether there should be new substantive due process rights. Those are rights protected by the Liberty Clause that protects substantive liberties. So, so given all that, how do you think the current Supreme Court would, and should analyze the constitutional claims about various vaccination requirements?

[00:16:17] Josh Blackman: Well, again, I think we have to be very careful to distinguish different categories. If we're talking about the privilege of attending a school I think there's going to be more deference because people aren't required to attend a particular school. Tenured employees may have a different situation because they have a right to teach and they're being penalized for something that was not in their employment contract may actually be a greater claim for professor than for a student. Professors, you know, we're kind of stuck at our universities, but if there's actually a jurisdiction that mandates vaccines, I think those are very vulnerable that you have to get it. You know, they'll strap you to a gurney and put a needle in your arm. And there's also sort of a middle area. Look at New York City Mayor de Blasio has instituted a new policy. Unvaccinated people cannot go to restaurants, theaters, gyms, or any other public places.

This is severe. Historically we've said people have a right to travel, that is people don't need paper so to speak, to go from point A to point B and now they very well may. There's long been a policy of quarantining those who are sick and restricting people, for example, come on a boat or otherwise, but now a person can't walk across the street to a restaurant if he's fully masked and un-vaccinated there will probably be constitutional litigation over this policy as well. I, I am skeptical the Mayor of Boston actually compared the sort of policies to, to slave traffickers. I get to show your papers, move from point A to point B. There's a dark history here. So I, I think this policy might be vulnerable.

[00:17:41] Jeffrey Rosen: Wendy Josh raises the possibility of restrictions on travel at the end of July. President Biden reportedly considered requiring all civilian federal employees to be vaccinated or be forced to submit to regular testing, social distancing, and restrictions on most travel. And Josh also mentioned some restrictions in New York as, as you look at the range of vaccine requirements that states and the federal government are considering. Are there any that you think might come close to the constitutional line?

[00:18:16] Wendy K. Mariner: Well, I think we have to look at what the alternatives are. We are, we have been and continue to be in a very severe epidemic and pandemic around the world. The United States has had 630,000 deaths from COVID. That's dramatic, that's remarkable. What are our options? Our options are basically to try and prevent transmission anyway that's, that is feasible and fair. And our options are essentially vaccination, social distancing, masking, ma-mask wearing, or quarantine. You want to go back to the ancient use of quarantine, which has never been terribly successful except on an island which may be the only alternative to restrict the ability of a person to interact with the public and perhaps get infected and put others at risk. We really do have a problem with with options, if we can't use the best option that we have, which is vaccination.

[00:19:22] Jeffrey Rosen: Josh would a federal vaccine mandate of any kind be unconstitutional and which constitutional provisions might it violate?

[00:19:30] Josh Blackman: So far, we've been talking about state mandates and states have something called the police power, which is this sort of broad brooding omnipresence in the sky. So to speak that they can do a lot of things, sorry, I couldn't help it. I'm on the podcast with Jeffers and I have to make a Holmes reference. The federal government does not have a general police power. They have a what's called enumerated powers, only those powers given. If Congress wants to do something, they have to find a specific grant and article on the constitution. Perhaps they might look to the International Foreign Commerce Clause and the Necessary and Proper Clause. I think they'll be looking in vain. We know from the Obamacare case that mandates are unconventional. They're not many federal mandates to buy a product. There are no mandates I'm aware of to make regular people get a shot in their arm by virtue of simply existing.

Even though it would prevent the spread of disease from state A to state B, I am not confident this sort of mandate would survive constitutional review. I think it will be very vulnerable. But let's be frank, you, we don't have that statute, right? If President Biden wants to actually enact this policy, you would have to rely in general CDC authority to restrict pandemics. And I don't think these, the, the statute exists could stretch quite that far. This is actually the same law that supports the eviction moratorium, which a majority of the court thinks is on, is illegal. So I think a federal vaccine mandate is a non-starter. Biden said he had asked DOJ for an opinion on one, then he quickly walked that back. So I think we're, we're not going to see it.

[00:20:59] Jeffrey Rosen: Wendy, do you agree that a federal vaccine mandate would be a non-starter constitutionally and under existing statutory authority? And then tell us about the statutory authority that does currently exist. On July 26, the office of legal counsel issued an opinion saying that COVID vaccination emergency use authorization status under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act doesn't prevent public and private entities from imposing vaccine requirements. The legitimacy of that opinion is an issue in the Virginia Case. To what degree does the Emergency Use Authorization act provide authority for public and private entities to impose vaccination requirements?

[00:21:41] Wendy K. Mariner: Well, the, the Emergency Authorization does not impose any requirements as to use. It simply authorizes its sale and distribution. So I don't think that, that's terribly but that would not be a basis for requiring anyone to take the vaccine. It simply authorizes its, its, its distribution and it simply does so by authorizing production at the same time that the studies are being carried out. So it's a faster method, it's a faster route to getting the vaccine out once it is established as safe and effective, which it has been under that category. The constitutionality of a federal requirement for vaccination, I think would depend greatly on who it imposed on. Certainly the commerce power could authorize some kind of a condition with respect to businesses that could pose a risk of transmission. I think that would be possible.

Posing on individuals I think is on slightly shakier ground, although in the Comstock decision there, there, there was a citation that in cases of epidemics, perhaps we could impose that kind of obligation on, on an individual. So I think it's, I think it's an open question. I do think that we do have a tradition of lodging these kinds of requirements at the state level, that does make a mess of things however, as we see today with varying kinds of requirements and resistance or acceptance in different legislatures, in different governor- governor's offices in different states.

[00:23:13] Jeffrey Rosen: Josh, there are other constitutional complaints at issue in the Virginia Case involving George Mason University, including unconstitutional conditions. Tell us about those and what you think about those arguments.

[00:23:25] Josh Blackman: Sure. And I should note that I attended George Mason about a decade ago and I know Todd Zwicky very well, although I haven't actually talked to him about this case. There's a doctrine in constitutional law called unconstitutional conditions. And the idea is you should not have to surrender a constitutional right to get some sort of government benefit. You know, for example, if you want to live in public housing, could you waive your Fourth Amendment rights? That is they could drug test you any time, they could search apartment for contraband, right? If I live in public housing. And the general rule is that's not a good idea, that, that the government can't make you surrender your constitutional rights as a condition of some public benefit. And Zwicky argues that he has a constitutional right to avoid these sort of vaccines, given his immunity, his natural immunity, and in light of these facts, the government can't force him to give up those rights as a condition of his public employment.

It's a very unique argument and I don't think I've seen it in this exact context before because he's a public employee. He's tenured, which is a effectively a binding contract, which we all have as professors. And he's saying that as a condition of employment, he's being asked to surrender his constitutional rights. That professors have the rights of bridge all the time. You know, I can't go up from the classroom and start, you know, projecting child pornography on the board, right? I can't go for my classroom libeling people, right? Those are not protected activities. It's a tougher call if there's something that is protected by the constitution and then my employer says, "You cannot do that." in terms of my speaking and publishing I suppose a countervailing argument is that there might be students in, in Zwicky's class who are hesitant to enter the building if they know he's not vaccinated.

And also Zwicky said, he doesn't think he can teach effectively with a mask on which impedes the ability to perhaps for him spread. I, I don't know how this case will shake out. You know, it, it's, it's a fairly fast moving issue and who knows by the time this goes to summary judgment the Delta pandemic is subsided and, you know, we-we've sort of moved on. It's also possible Zwicky's immunity drops at some point in and the case gets mooted out, so to speak. So I don't know how this one shakes out. I think it's, it's, it's a heavy lift, but I do think he does raise fair points about the rationality of a policy that sort of a one size fits all. You know, one argument he raises the single Johnson&Johnson shot might be less effective than say two shots of Pfizer, right? If all vaccines are treated equally.

You may have a foreign student has a Chinese vaccine, which is not very effective at all. And that'd be... The Chinese vaccine might be less effective than natural immunity. So this sort of one size fits all policy, is not actually consistent with science as people like Wendy actually know, they know science, I don't know science, but there might be some difficulties, but is it for the courts or the elected branches to make those calls?

[00:26:09] Jeffrey Rosen: Wendy, what do you think about the argument about unconstitutional conditions in the Virginia Case, and then walk us through how you imagine constitutional litigation about the vaccines playing out over the next couple months, including issues involving religious exemptions. In Indiana there was an exemption for those who believe that vaccinations are incompatible with their religious beliefs. This Supreme court is sensitive to claims of religious exemptions. Do you imagine that any of those claims might be successful for vaccine requirements that don't have religious exemptions?

[00:26:42] Wendy K. Mariner: Well, first to the to the claim about natural immunity. That's, that's a very interesting question because it is, it is a question for science and not necessarily one that can be decided by the by the judiciary and the basis of knowledge of constitutional law. It's not at all clear to me that natural immunity is established permanently once one has had COVID. In fact, there's a lot of question about that and about fading immunity. So it's, it's a question. I think that it would be very hard to base a win on the claim that one need not be when need not be vaccinated because one has already had COVID.

Secondly, the idea that all vaccines are equal, may not last. This is a fast moving pandemic, and there are places in which the Chinese version of the vaccine is not accepted as adequate for entry into a university or a business. So it, again, depends on the reality on the ground. So how, how would, how would that matter? Well, you can, I mean, one of the, one of the problems that we have, I think in this country is that most of the statutory bases for emergency action have been written for short-term emergencies like hurricanes or floods or explosions and things like that. Often giving, giving a governor a 30 day period for you know, for exercising emergency authority.

We really haven't confronted how to deal with a longstanding pandemic for over 100 years. And we're in a much better scientific and constitutional position for that. So it means that we really have very, very little in the way of adequate precedent that fit what's going on now. We have a, a pandemic that has waxed and waned and is waxing again. And we may have a need for re-vaccination of people who have been vaccinated in order to keep to keep the population safe. So th-th-the questions that are confronting us are really quite, I think, new in many respects and relying on the idea that either one individual can refuse, because he thinks he has natural immunity or another individual can refuse because he just doesn't like, it tends to turn the whole purpose of society on its head. We need to be able to take action that indeed protects the whole population as long as we don't ultimately harm the individuals that we're trying to protect.

[00:29:24] Jeffrey Rosen: Josh, tell us your view about the future of religious exemptions and COVID. You wrote a post about Jacobson and Massachusetts based on your Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy article, the essential Free Exercise Clause. You subsequently blogged that Justice Gorsuch's reading of Jacobson seemed to track your posts when, when, when he found religious exemptions in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn case. So unpack for our listeners, what that debate was about, and then tell us whether you imagine any claims about religious exemptions being successful moving forward.

[00:30:04] Josh Blackman: Well, who's Jacobson? He was a Swedish minister who lived in Cambridge at the turn of the century. He had actually been vaccinated earlier in his youth and he had an adverse reaction to it. And also Jacobson's son had a vaccination, apparently who had an adverse reaction as well. There's basically Wendy correct me. I think he basically got a, a version of cowpox, which was a variant of smallpox, and that's how it was done. It was basically a different disease that could, could inflict harm to people, perhaps in the aggregate it was worthwhile. During the COVID-19 pandemic governors across the country, cited Jacobson in the various challenges to house of worship restrictions. And a lot of people simply assumed that this was a religious case, he was a minister after all. I've gone back, I read the trial record, I read the appellate record or the Supreme Court record, there was no reference whatsoever to the religion clauses. With good reason, they weren't incorporated yet.

The Free Exercise Clause had no bearing on the case. It was based entirely on the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment, as well as the Massachusetts State Constitution. He also had some Takings Clause issues that were rejected out of hand, but it was almost all based in the 14th Amendment. During the COVID pandemic, lots of judges had a, "Aha, we have this case Jacobson, which says that religious claims have to be subjugate to public health." Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, it had nothing to do with religion. And it was woefully consistent with modern Free Exercise Clause jurisprudence.

Chief Justice Roberts cited Jacobson in South Bay, a very prominent case upholding California's lockdown measures. And then a few months later, we get to Roman Catholic Diocese and Robert sort of tiptoes away sort of back to saying, "Well, I didn't really mean Jacobson had much to do with it." And then Gorsuch had an opinion that was very consistent with what I wrote. And he said, "This is not a case effecting Free Exercise Clause." So even if you have Cruzan and case like Glucksberg substantive due process, those cases might be weak. But if we exercise clause case is much harder to prevail. Judges cited Jacobson of a case involving the 2nd Amendment, right? You had states say to shut down all gun stores that prevent spread of COVID and it said, "Oh, Jacobson," but that's not a case about an enumerated right. Governors cited it for abortion. They said, "We need to stop all forms of certain types of abortions because we have to save surgical supplies," you know, the modern abortion jurisprudence postdates Jacobson by, you know, eight decades or so.

So these are, these are very contemporary issues of the large body of case law and judges sort of just reached to Jacobson as panacea saying, "Yes, we defer, we defer." I blame John Roberts in large parts for a lot of things, but I blame him for this. His, his, his citation of Jacobson was, was repeated 100s of times in the country. So look there, we have a lot of case law, the Supreme Court will have to address it at some point. I think a lot of judges just sort of, "What'd you say when you string cite?" They sort of cited Jacobson as string cite and just called it a day. And I think was, was not a good exercise in jurisprudence.

[00:33:01] Jeffrey Rosen: Wendy, can you imagine any challenges to vaccine requirements o-of any kind on, on religion grounds being successful moving forward and looking forward to the next couple of months are there any other vaccine challenges that you imagine being successful under the constitution?

[00:33:17] Wendy K. Mariner: Well, yes. I, I think that is entirely possible what the Supreme Court has done even in the shadow docket, but certainly in the Tannin case and the Cuomo case and in South Bay cases has been to elevate the, the idea of religious free exercise above all other, it seems constitutional protections. And I find that a little disturbing only because the Supreme Court refuses to decide what counts as a religious belief, which is understandable, but that leaves the court in the position of essentially acquiescing to an individual's perception of religion that can indeed undermine, you know, regulations that help the entire public.

I'm thinking of what the implication of these cases precedent are for all kinds of health and safety regulations from inspections to you know, to protections for workers, all of these kinds of things. These cases have, have essentially shifted the standard of review for religious exceptions to probably all kinds of regulation. And that I think is a far more far more concern than might be a simple exception to a vaccine mandate.

[00:34:38] Jeffrey Rosen: Thank you very much for that. Josh, as you look forward over the next couple of months, this is a fast moving situation, of course, but what, if any challenges to vaccine requirements, do you imagine being successful and, and which constitutional legal provisions do you think they'd be based on?

[00:34:53] Josh Blackman: I think the only institutions that will have constitutional challenges are public universities. And I think they're probably going to lose, I think the Eastbrook opinion's probably right. If private employers impose vaccine mandates, they'll have to deal with the Americans with Disabilities Act. And the, if it's a state with, the refer of Religious Restoration Act, maybe issues there, but I think those claims are going to probably fall away as well. The federal government that's imposing a the vaccine mandate may be trickier, maybe some organized labor cases, unions may oppose it, which has nothing to do with the constitution. But again, I think as a condition of employment, it's harder, right?

The, the policy may, may be a problem. So I, I don't think we'll see any sort of one size fits all challenge. I think the most likely case will get actually concerns the eviction moratorium, which will perhaps scale back the CDCs power. And once that power is scaled back, the idea of a national vaccine mandate's not gonna take off. We may see litigation over the New York City travel passport issue. That one is curious 'cause right to travel has never been clearly defined. I think that actually may have some legs.

[00:35:59] Jeffrey Rosen: Thank you very much for that. Well it's time for closing arguments in this illuminating discussion. If any of those cases, Josh mentioned materialize, we will podcast on those, but let us close by returning to the Indiana case. Wendy tell We The People listeners whether you believe that the lower courts were correct to hold it Indiana's requirement that all students, faculty and staff have a COVID vaccine and are fully vaccinated violates the constitution or not.

[00:36:29] Wendy K. Mariner: I, I think it does not. I, I'm not convinced that the, the decision was terribly well-reasoned, but I think the result was correct. And I think that the Seventh Circuit should uphold it perhaps with better writing.

[00:36:44] Jeffrey Rosen: Thank you for that. And Josh, same question to you as you have the last word in this, in this good conversation. Should courts uphold the Indiana vaccine mandate or not, and why?

[00:36:56] Josh Blackman: I think the ulti... The Indiana law passes must have had religious exemptions, had disability exemptions. And I think given those exemptions, it's hard to challenge under modern doctrine.

[00:37:08] Jeffrey Rosen: Thank you so much Wendy Mariner and Josh Blackman for a civil illuminating and collegial discussion about the hotly contested question of vaccine mandates and the constitution. Wendy, Josh, thank you so much for joining me.

[00:37:24] Josh Blackman: Thanks Jeff.

[00:37:25] Wendy K. Mariner: Thank you.
