The Demise of Grace – Part 3

The last posting was an experiment. It was designed to see how you would react to what the message was promoting. The responses, while few in number, were revealing in many ways. But how does this experiment portray the demise of grace? How do the responses also fall into this demise status?

The Back Story

Recently I met with a few intrepid spiritual sojourners in our weekly workshop. On this particular evening we were presented with the following video as a point of discussion. I recommend you watch it before proceeding forward.

I had only become aware of this technology days prior and only in a passing manner. So, while I knew what it was about, I was stunned by the depth in which it could and had been employed.

The was much discussion which followed covering a breadth of territory which only a subject like this could spark. At the end of the evening, it was pretty clear that we all agreed that no matter how far this technology goes, how will those who will be the ones driving this content be monitored and policed, if required.

Leveling Up

In the first article of this series, I stated my intention as follows:

My intention is to move us into the higher levels of consciousness beyond the level of integrity. As I proceed with these writings you may find that some of the materials hit too close to home. Grace is identical at every level, but our understanding of it is often stunted by a level of thought we have never encountered before or have difficulty in accepting. Whatever result this produces within you, stay the course for the answer will be revealed to carry you higher.

Talk about levels of consciousness might seem odd to many (especially in relationship to spiritual matters) but it comes from the work accomplished by David R. Hawkins M.D., PhD. In his ground-breaking book entitled “Power versus Force.” In this study he calibrated consciousness, or thought patterns, on a graduated scale which he established from 0 to 1000. What he discovered is how at level 200, which he called the level of integrity, there is a shift in whether one functioned from a position of force or from a position of power.

It is at these higher levels where true spiritual disciplines reside. Level 1,000 is the level of Christ and Buddha; level 600 is enlightenment; level 500 is unconditional love; level 400 is reason; level 350 is forgiveness and acceptance; level 310 is willingness. Within these levels the power of the thoughts is dominate as it is released in the actions which transpire.

Examining the Experiment

If I was to summarize the content from the previous post it might read like:

Grace is defined as the free and unmerited favor of God, the disposition to or an act or instance of kindness, courtesy, or clemency. It is often thought of as a virtue and a sign of humility and respect. In today’s society, it is a rare and often overlooked concept. If we are to restore grace to our society, we must first change our level of consciousness.

Please make note of the crucial word “If” at the beginning of the summary declaration. In logic terms this establishes an “either/or” condition to the claim. Either I did or I didn’t. For your consideration, the “I” who wrote the summary is the same “I” who wrote the previous post. However, in both cases, it wasn’t me. Welcome to the world of AI!

The Next Step

In the next post I will break down what you may have thought was a human-centered writing about a topic which I have been solely promoting on this venue. I am not attempting to justify my actions in this matter, whether you deem them to be right or wrong, but simply to provide an Integris explanation from the consciousness level 200. If I’m going to explore the demise of grace, this appears to be a good place to start. Upward we go.
