[1] To keep the government and church isolated from each other is smart governance. But when a government becomes controlled by the church through confounding complex arrays of entanglement and church connections—
[2] Senator so-and-so knows this person, who knows that person, who has a friend, whose friend has a friend in the conclave, who happens to be friends with the pope—
[3] This is detestable! It hides behind obscurity the things that are meant to be in plain sight, but partitioned.
[4] Therefore this book is not made for today’s governments but for those who wield the pen of a new government. Let thou read this and take it to thine pen.
[5] If thy pen follows it, so shall it be for you. If thy pen strays, fear not—for your way may be different than the way I propose.
[6] Let the church and the government be laid upon the same street.
[7] Let the house of governance build a fence with a gate between it and the church.
[8] Let the gate be opened in visibility of all.
[9] Let the churchgoers and leaders speak to the governance on the lawn of fellowship.
[10] But let not the churchgoer or holy person set foot inside of the halls of governance.
[11] It is not the place of a Holy One to be in governance. O Holy Child, you pry and grab, looking for levers to a machine bigger than thineself out of curiosity.
[12] Those who find themselves pulling at levers of government will tire—for the government has no rewards for ye.
[13] But fear not, for your reward sits in the vault of The Heaven, not the earth.
[14] What is of the earth shall pass. But what is heavenly is forever.
[15] Others will find themselves at the levers of the church, eventually feeling outcast for their beliefs. Fret not—this is what happened to Paul, Peter, and many apostles of Christ.
[16] Therefore write scripture in peace. Show your scripture publicly, but do not sell it.
[17] Rather, set it upon the shelf of the library and see that it is kept safely. For it is a Holy Book.
[18] To one, it is just a book. To another, it is Holy. To The Heaven, it is one of the many testaments created by the living—and is most enjoyable.
[19] So therefore, the gate is to be closed nightly, and only opened during times the government is at peace and ready to commune.
[20] Let the gate stay shut during war. Let the gate stay shut when quarrels rise among the people.
[21] The church shall handle its side of the lawn while the government tends to its side.
[22] Thusly each flock shall be tended as according to need from the Giver accordingly for that need.
[23] If thine needs spirit, then thou goest to the church.
[24] If thou needs a road or sewer, thine place is the hall of government—for they build the roads and sewers while we build the spiritual things.
[25] Therefore it is no way an existence for the church and government to exist in isolation.
[26] They will break apart the wall, and instead of a functioning gate, there is left a broken wall.
[27] Therefore, make sure that a gate or window exists with clear rules of usage.
[28] Let it be for advisorship, not leadership. Let it be for assistance, not directive handing.
[29] Let no person of the church meddle in government aside from advising.
[30] To write a letter to the government is to partake innocently.
[31] But to bursary the leaders with millions and dictate what to do is bribery of the leader’s spirit!
[32] Woe be to the churches that do this, for they are withering!
[33] They think that leading the government with the church is divine authority, when truth I tell you—it is divine overreach!
[34] The government shan’t reach into your altar, so shalt you not reach into their podium!
[35] To the person sitting in the middle, wondering if government or church is the place for you:
[36] Steer away from the government, O Child of Mine! Be blessed in ways innumerable than mere money!
[37] The government corrupts souls with money and power.
[38] But the ones that stay of the church remain of the church and therefore are set aside for Holiness alone.
[39] Therefore, set yourself apart from the government. Holiness cannot function in a place where money is ruler.
[40] Money changes hands in every decision in Washington D.C. and governments elsewhere.
[41] Yet we detest money!
[42] We flip over the tables of the changers.
[43] We spit on the grass of the banker who writes high interest subprime credit.
[44] Storms surround the world, for the world is filled with creditors unrighteous.
[45] They invade home and telephone like termites.
[46] The creditors beg for money with fervor of a street beggar despite hoarding billions.
[47] If thou must default a creditor, do so peacefully.
[48] If thy creditor becomes nuisance, then thou art to shun them from communications rather than yell curse and abuse.
[49] It is far better to simply shun than to anger.
[50] For angering the money changers may bring about the annoyance of the court.
[51] Therefore, fear the government and the money changers.
[52] Not that they are dangerous, but that they are to be revered as places of power—and risk.
[53] Therefore to the ones who fear government and refuse to sow their name into the seed of government and show their face on the ballot—are blessed.
[54] For the Spirit of God leads for ye.
[55] Why toil with governing people when ye can be free to enjoy the splendor of the world and spirit?
[56] If ye sow seed in the spirit, it shall surely grow.
[57] But if you sow seed in the government, it is wasted.
[58] Therefore, sow your seeds in a temple.
[59] Whether it be a community temple or thine own temple, all temples are holy I tell you.
[60] Even your house!
[61] So shall you consecrate one room of your house to be a place of holiness.
[62] But fret not if holiness is not achieved in perfection—for it never will be. Not on this planet.
[63] Let thine holy place be where thy mind is at peace.
[64] If thou art at peace in bed, then let thy chamber be holy.
[65] If thine finds peace in a bathtub full of mineral and herb, then let their place of holiness be their powder room.
[66] For it is not up to the church to say what or where is holy. It is up to the Spirit.
[67] Therefore, each person has a spirit unique unto themselves.
[68] So go forth. Find your holy place.
[69] Pick up a book of parchment… and write.
