The Soul of materialism, idealism and dualism God is the whole universe of finite things, including our souls and bodies he is the purposive creator of the world. God has conscious emotions or a soul like we do, like all things in the universe do, as God is all things he alone is worthy of worship! Consciousness is a general property of matter or should I say of God, it is the soul within all things and materialism, idealism and dualism is the same thing as they all are combined in God. This conscious feature of matter (God) starting from the most fundamental constituents in the elementary particles as a macroscopic physical property, is like the electrical charge a fundamental property of matter, when the elementary particles are assembled into atoms you can say that the atoms has a property of consciousness. Under certain circumstances the atoms are combined so they yield a primitive consciousness with a basic emotion of good/bad and in more evolved combinations like in living cells emotions of pain/pleasure. Now atoms makeup molecules who makes cells who makes organs all of them senses its environment and acts according to its consciousness, you are not conscious of what your liver do but thank God that it is conscious of what it dos. We human beings are created in the image of God with a consciousness / soul. I know I exist, but so do the cup on my table and the water in it as well - in a simple way, as it is a part of God. We have however been given a free will to do good or bad and can this way freely develop our moral character and our soul into higher levels of spiritual consciousness. This is a part of God’s divine plan, we have to develop our moral and spiritual virtues through free decisions, as character is more important than enjoyment and sin is worse than suffering. God is the source of norms, distinguishing right from wrong and good from evil. God is perfectly good and his justice preserve the just and condemn the unjust. God is offended when man do not repent their worship of demons and idols, their immorality of evil thoughts, fornication, murder, sorcery, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, foolishness and thefts. When you forgive and repent God forgives, when you pray God participates and bring healing or conversion to the faithful who amend their lives toward godly virtues as faith, hope, charity, justice, prudence, temperance, and fortitude, all virtues are embraced in Love. The moral and spiritual virtues we obtain will last forever in the matter of the universe. All our acts and all acts of all things is a sort of recorded in the book of life or in God’s consciousness when the time comes he will take what is best from the world and use it to fulfill his divine plan. At the last day when the trumpet sounds will all beings be transform into pure spiritual and imperishable body’s some for eternal joy others for eternal condemnation. This is the trustworthy ground for hope in the ultimate victory of good over evil. So God know all things from the past and in the present and in the time to come. It is therefore logically possible for God unilaterally to bring about any state of affair in the world, as God is the omnipotent being in the entire universe the supreme Power. God is the ultimate guarantee for the meaningfulness of life, and by his grace, man have peace in his mind, which is the only true liberty. In the Beginning God created his Son and then the angels and then the cosmos and then he made life on earth and made man a rational being in Gods image and likeness. (Gen 1:26) Man and angels has their freedom to do good or to do evil actions, to sanctify themselves or to damn themselves. We shall choose between the desires of the flesh (food, success, power, etc.) and the will of the spirit (unselfish love). We humans can be reunited in spirit with God and communicate with him through our hearts in prayer. The angels are pure celestial spirits without relations to the material world, a third of the angels rebelled against God as they questioned Gods divine intensions when he created the universe. The angels were rewarded with the joy of love called heaven and the demons (or fallen angels) were punished by themselves with the slavery of agony called hell, the rebellion angels stopped praising God, because of self-pride. Satan was the most important angel in the celestial Choir of Seraphim standing by the side of Gods throne. He had twelve wings, twice as many as the others in the Choir (Pike of Rabbi Eliezer, 13). Satan desired to become greater and to be independent from God and even to covet Gods throne. The revolt of the angels was through their freewill and is irreversible as they rejected God as all-powerful and became most distance from God. The appearance of Man made Satan more revoltsive and he did and still do all in his power to draw man away from God, starting with Adam and Eve. To save mankind, God decided to send his Son, Jesus, "the first born of all creatures" (Col 1:15); "The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil" (1 Jn 3:8), with his Cross and to establish the kingdom of God. Satan still poses the power he was given, he was the paragon of creation, the prince of all creation, and he still is "the prince of this world" (Jn 12:31), and of lie's! He was created by God to bring order to creation, and is now its destroyer, the source of sin, illness, suffering and death. Satan, like all angles, sees and hear everything, also your thoughts. So "put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wills of the devil. For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Eph 6:11-12) "Satan is defeated by Christ, but engages in constant battle against his followers. The Lord warns us that the fight against evil spirits will continue until the last day" (Gaudium et spes, no.37) Jesus, with his cross, defeated Satan at the exact time Satan believed he had won. And the same will be true for the Church: His current passion brings about the internal renewal that is preparing us for the new Pentecost, that is the angle of wreath. John, the apostle writs, that the entire world is placed under the dominion of evil, of the evil one: a person; in our time - the Freemasonic principal, who have been given the power of Satan (Rev 13:4). God is the power of responsive love as the demonic is a violently and seductive power, the demonic is both a creature, in the presence of the fallen host of angels, and it is a primordial power coming from the demons. The demon is a pure spirit, like the holy angels, who through a spiritual force can act in the mind, in the whole or parts of the human body or influence material things and animals. The demon is not within a person or a thing but is acting through the person or the object, intending to achieve fear or appeal, and even physical illness. It can create smells of sulfur, burning, dung, etc., make visions of angels or saints and appear as freighting animals or horrible men. Animals has no freewill only a ego and cannot be directly manipulated as humankinds can. We are born with the basic ego like the animals and have to work our way beyond this self-centeredness. The demonic power is a real and deadly opposition to Gods love. Satan use his power to influence men's freewill from doing good to do bad in his rebellion against Gods goodness. The demons remain bound to the same hierarchy and has the same gifts, that was given them when they were angels. (Col 1:16) The battle between the spirit of men and the devil is fought on the ground of Virtues by a seduction into a habit of pleasure and a could hearted self love leading into the orbit of finding pleasure in lies, violence, fear, hate, lust, and greed for power, sex and material things. Virtue are slow in action but stabile in a lifetime with its beauty and goodness the gifts from the Holy Spirit are of greater satisfaction than the devils captivating lifestyle. The grace given by a life in Virtue is permanent and cannot easily be overthrown by evil. Satan cannot harm the one who pray and trust in God. He will be defeated through prayer. Satan is stronger in some periods of history than others and this industrial time age has proven to be a especially evil period of our history. It is worth to remember that evil have to grow along with Virtue until the last day (Mt 13:36-40). “Today Satan's work is to convince My creation that he is non-existent - in this way he works without being feared and, like lambs, My creation are trapped and devoured by the wolf. This is his plan of today.” (Vas 871122 Every human can overcome Satan's temptations by his freewill. God does not allow those who have chosen him to be tempted beyond their strength. Be "firm in your faith" (1 Pet 5:9), and resist him steadfast it will make him "flee from you" (Jas 4:7) Nine ways to protect ourselves from temptation by experience and Christian wisdom: 1. Be on guard against the evil spirit. Know his strategy, be able to recognize his deceits and above all “resist him, steadfast in the faith” (1 Pet 5:9) 2. Daily examine your conscience to see how well you coped with the temptations of each day. Thank God for the grace of benefiting from the temptations you overcame, and ask His forgiveness for those to which you gave in. 3. Periodically, during the day, look into the “book of your soul” Read there what thoughts are on your mind, what desires in your will. Sift these interior movements by discarding some, keeping others, and acting on those which your conscience tells you are graces from God. (Every thought tends to become a desire, every desire tends to become an action, every action tends to become a habit.) 4. Be suspicious of your natural tendency to go after whatever appeals to you. Avoid being impulsive in rejecting what you dislike, or embracing what you like. All temptations are attractive. Learn to practice discernment of spirits as explained by the masters of the spiritual life. 5. Remember that we are now living by faith, which means that of ourselves we may not even recognize a temptation. Thus we must constantly ask for light from God: “Lord, that I may see” 6. Life on earth is a warfare and we are members of the Church Militant. We must, therefore, be properly armed with humility and prudence, and the graces that come for the asking. Christ’s admonition to the disciples in Gethsemane is addressed to all of us, “Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation” (Mt 26:41) 7. Be on the alert. We can get into habits of action that may dull our perception. Custom can blind us to danger and keep us from even knowing we are being tempted. We may give in before we even realize what has happened. 8. Set yourself models for imitation. Do not follow the crowd. Come to know certain persons whose conduct you admire and whose example you resolve to follow. It may be several people. In one you imitate the person’s humility, in another fidelity to prayer, in another selfless charity, in another uncomplaining patience, in another cheerfulness under trial, in another prudent planning of work, in another devotion to the Eucharist, in another a great love of Mary, and in another a strong Zeal for souls. In this way, we have a ready substitute for the temptations from the world – the attractive sinful behavior of others. We have, instead, the inspiration of good people in the world – their attractive practice of virtue. 9. Do not live in false security. Cultivate a healthy fear of offending a loving God. This will give you the protection you need to remain faithful to Him no matter how seductive the temptations you encounter. The Holy Bible guide us: Mt 26:52 Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Mk 7:20-23 And he (Jesus) said, “What comes out of a man is what defiles a man. For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within and they defile a man.” Mt 5:44-45 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. Mk 9:35 If any one would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all. Rev 13:10 Read the Revelation. Do not contact or associate with known Freemasons, cardreaders, visionares etc. (it is regretfully almost impossible not to). A general roll is; if you feel bad about a place or a person then trust your intuition and stay away, – remember the Christian weapons: Truth, Justice, Faith and the word of God. Always pray for the place or person(s) you have to avoid. God is very clear in these things: “There shall not be found among you any one who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, any one who practices divination, a soothsayer, or an augur, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or a medium, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For who ever does these things is an abomination to the Lord” (Dt 18:10-12). Do not turn to mediums or wizards; do not seek them out to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God” (Lev 19:31). (Place sacred images in all the rooms of your home for protection and faith building, use the mark JHS, Jesus Hominus Salvator – Jesus, Savior of Men. Get your home blessed with blessed water or exorcised-water, -oil and –salt use blessed incense.)
