Dear Skeptical but Questing Friend,
Thomas:
We applaud your honest efforts in trying to describe the beginnings of earth and its becoming habitable for man. Overall you are wrong, but you are right as far as you have knowledge about the facts of these things. Lucifer and I are a team assigned to earth. We have just finished a discussion concerning how much we should tell you and what we should do, if anything, about your efforts. Knowing it would be useless to deliver you a vision, dream or personal appearance, Lucifer decided I should write you this electronic letter to give you some of the particulars. Even though we enjoy working with embryonic intelligence (mankind), and it has brought us much joviality, we have become jaded, disappointed and incensed over the lack of success with our efforts.
First, if you will search that book of gossip which you call the Holy Bible, you will find over and over where Lucifer and I play what you call the good cop and the bad cop. Sometimes we did it for a joke, and sometimes seriously. But always we did it to make men think. The other Gods of our grade call us Lord God and Damn God. Because of the confusion of the authors of your Holy Bible, you may be surprised to know that I am actually assigned, and am supposed to be, the bad cop (Damn God) and Lucifer is the good cop (Lord God). But, through some quirk in man's intellectual development, he has reversed the roles and name tags. He has called good, “bad” and he has called bad, “good”. Man screwed up. That is the only proper and usable English word for it. We mean, really screwed up.
The only part of man which is worth spit to us is his ever living being and his brain or mind. So, our plan was as follows: I would make man a useable and attractive case for his brain and mind. I installed a creditable and expandable brain in his body. You would call that, “man's hard drive”. Being the bad cop, I forbid man from using this excellent brain. I came up with this concept of telling Adam some absurdities and lies and then threatened him with instant death if he didn't believe me or obey me. Normally, any intelligence would at once want to know what it was that Damn God didn't want him to know. What was so important? It wouldn't take him long to figure out that Damn God must be a liar. Why give him a brain and then forbid him to use it? So, he would check it out, find the claim, the threat and the punishment to be false. This would force man's development to take off at once. I guess I am trying to justify myself here. After I gave him his feet, I should have threatened to kill him if he walked on his feet.
Lucifer's job was to take what I had made and to challenge man and get his brain started thinking along the right track. Lord God was supposed to install some elemental, usable, informational software so man would have a basis on which to separate the true from the false. He was to give Adam some simple problems to solve. This would get Adam's mind functioning properly so man would soon have the information, which he needed to separate the truth from tall tales, and to develop himself and his civilization. I guess you would call that man's software and programs.
We had hoped man would enter the service of the Galactic Resource and Development Department at least fifty thousand years ago. It is forbidden us to write any programs and software, beyond the necessary initial ones for any intelligence in the universe. They must write their own. We thought a series of short problems would be all that was necessary to start mankind on an accelerated learning program, which had worked with other intelligence. From this challenge man would discover the information he needed in order to arrange his thinking and doing. In other words, man would begin to grow mentally.
Our plan was this. I would tell Adam some absurdities and lies. He would check it out, find it to be false and thereby develop the habit of beginning all his thinking processes by honestly doubting anything told him by an authority. I told him, "Don't you dare sit and eat any of the fruit under that tree over there, and if you do, I will kill you at once." The fruit was of a very delightful aroma and very pleasing to the eye. I thought it was the best thing in the garden, so I selected it to tempt Adam to think.
And what did Adam do? He walked around that tree I had damned like it didn't exist, month after month and year after year. Lucifer said, "By Damn God, this is not working." So Lucifer went down in all of his best garments and glory and sat under the tree. Adam still walked right on by in his pious self-righteousness. So Lucifer dressed up in rags like a beggar and sat under the tree. Adam began to even avoid walking by the tree. But Eve was more sociable and compassionate so she stopped to talk. Lucifer said he was hungry and could he please have some fruit from the tree.
Eve said, "Oh, no! God said anyone who ate the fruit from this tree would die at once."
Lucifer said. "You mean that Damn God, Jehovah? You can't trust that lying son of a demented Goddess. Here, watch me eat some of this good looking juicy fruit you said Jehovah has damned and see if I die. Did you know this tree is called the Tree of Knowledge?"
"Why is it called that?" Eve asked.
"Because, if you sit here under this tree and think and talk about things, you will learn about things. You will learn what is real and what is not, what is good and what is not good. It is like a university and when ever you sit here a while the professor comes out and talks to you."
"I haven't seen this professor. What does he look like? Will he come and talk to me?"
"Sometimes he looks like a snake, sometimes he just comes into your mind and sometimes he looks like me."
Well, Lucifer slurped, grunted his delight, ate some more, smacked his lips and said, "By Me, I see why that son of a low level retarded God didn't want you to eat this stuff. This is the best fruit in the garden. I know why Damn God, Jehovah, forbid you from eating this wonderful fruit. He didn't want to share it, or let you and Adam eat any of it. He wanted to save this tree for himself, and no doubt, for some of his close and trusted friends.
As you would imagine, this upset Eve because she considered herself and Adam to be My close, trusted and only friends. She never thought much about the fact that I only spent about fifteen minutes every evening with them, and of course, I never showed up on weekends or holidays.
So, while Lucifer sat there slurping and wiping the juices from his face and lips, he began to tell Eve that knowledge and understanding of the world came from hunting the truth of things. To do this you had to honestly doubt what you were told and find out the truth for yourself. You had to experiment, and even make mistakes. Only then could you know if some authority was telling you the truth. He said truth was so important that it naturally took effort to find it. But it was worth every bit of the effort. With hard studying and hard thinking she and Adam could become like the Gods having knowledge, which would help them separate the good from the bad, the useful from the useless and the helpful from the harmful.
Lucifer looked over at Eve and kind of winked. "Now, you take this fruit. Am I dead yet? Jehovah didn't say you couldn't taste it did he? He just said you couldn't eat it. You could just dip your finger in right here in this nice juicy part and lick your finger if you want to.” She did.
"My God, that's good! No wonder he didn't want us to eat it. What's it called?"
"Well, you have to name it. This is your garden you know."
"Let me have another taste. Yummy! There is only one other thing I like this much. I think I will call this Humping Fruit."
"That's a good name, but don't you think you would enjoy both more if you had separate names for them?"
"Let me have another taste. Whooee! That gets better every time I taste it. I think I'll call it Passion. That's it, Passion Fruit. Do you think it will be all right if I just lick the Passion Fruit itself?" And before long, Eve had a nice pile of Passion Fruit seeds on the ground in front of her while Lord God, Lucifer, explained about morality, life and living.
I gave Adam and Eve three years and three months with Lucifer under the tree before they began to hide from Me. I was very pleased and so was Lord God, Lucifer. The good cop, bad cop thing was finally working. They excused themselves for hiding by saying they didn't have any clothes to wear to our meetings. Eve insisted she didn't have a single thing to wear. That got started early, didn't it?
But, the real reason they didn't want to see me was because they knew I was lying to them. By this time they had received about a university education from Lord God, Lucifer, and got to not even believing everything he told them. They really were on the right track and Lucifer and I were delighted. They were doing lots of experiments to check out everything Lucifer told them. They were ready to get out in the world and start developing themselves and building a civilization. I might have rushed it a bit, but I had high hopes for Adam and Eve.
We closed down the garden and talked to them. We told them to never trust what anybody said, or any God, or any claim, and to check everything out for themselves. I told them they had seen perfection in my garden so they knew perfection was possible. "Now", I said, "This garden is how the earth is supposed to be. You will never appreciate its beauty and utility if it is handed to you. You must get out there and teach your children to work toward making earth into your own paradise and garden. That way you will learn to appreciate it and care for it. After that you will be ready to join us in the work of the universe. But you must do it yourself and don't stop until the whole earth is a beautiful and fruitful garden. If you don't do this, the earth will deteriorate before your very eyes, and you will eat only by working very hard. And the knowledge you have learned will slip away from you. You will begin to fight with one another, and kill each other, and steal from other people, and seek only your own selfish comforts and pleasures."
So, Thomas that is how it is. That is how it started, and only you and those like you know what went wrong. There is no place for "lazy or gullible" in this universe. But the world was too prolific, too rich, too easy to live in. There were not enough physical challenges. So all men became lazy in mind and body. The lazy of mind became slaves to the lazy of body. The lazy of body became slaves to their own bodies and sought to make life soft, comfortable and abounding in titillations and pleasures.
How and why man decided to become slaves to others and to himself, is no mystery. Man has it too easy and is lazy. He always wants something for nothing. He has forgotten his early lessons. Today most men are gullible and ignorant. Man's worst problem is that he is lazy of mind and is willing to believe some absurdity rather than spend the mental energy necessary to find out the TRUTH.
We are sick of it. Now we are going to challenge man’s mind by allowing the fruits of his wasteful and greedy life to catch up with him. There will be disasters of all types, and one way or another; Lucifer and I are going to get man's butt in gear. We are going to make man honestly doubt ALL authority. I have been sending absurd and contradictory revelations to man for thousands of years and he still hasn't learned to honestly doubt these irrational revelations, nor has he learned to think. Very few have even questioned these revelations, ridiculous as they are. However, his leaders and their lies and deceptions will soon cause all men to honestly doubt what they are being told by their political, religious and business leaders.
So now you know, Thomas. Lucifer and I are going to take a vacation and let man figure it all out for himself, or die trying. We may communicate again, I don't know yet. Lots of luck! You will need it!
Lucifer and Jehovah
PS: You can forward this electronic letter to anyone whom you think might benefit by it. Again, lots of luck. Lord God, Lucifer said to honestly doubt everything you see, hear or read. I guess that includes this letter too. Of course, some things you read, ARE TRUE. If you don't hear from us, we will be back in a few hundred or so years. Good Luck!
