\nIn the previous post<\/a> it was revealed how the second posting<\/a> in this series was not written by me but rather was generated by an artificial intelligence program. I fed this program the following information in order for it to generate the content: The title; keywords of grace, ego, level of consciousness, and David R. Hawkins; and the subheadings. I also had it review the first posting in this series to recognize my writing style. I entered these few items, and the result of the second posting, which henceforth I will refer to as the \u201cAI-posting,\u201d is what it produced. Only thing I added to the content was the opening paragraph which declared that what was being read was part of an experiment.<\/p>\n

Context or Content<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Technology these days is moving rapidly to the point where machines will be handling the \u201cmenial\u201d work leaving humans with time to devote their lives to\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

That phrase is pure propaganda. So is the second posting in this series. The question is are you able to distinguish it as such or are you following the herd?<\/p>\n

The purpose of propaganda is to create a narrative which shapes context about reality and then floods the senses with content to support the narrative. The unsuspecting masses believe that what they are consuming is truth and blindly follow whatever is being promoted. When this process is viewed through understanding the levels of consciousness, the purpose and techniques all fall below level 200 which is defined as integrity.<\/p>\n

According to Dr. Hawkins, the levels below 200 all require force to maintain themselves. This force can be physical but many times it is psychological. Many tyrants and even institutions operate below 200 simply due the need to control the populace. The use of propaganda is to create first a specter of fear and then develop a means to overcome the fear which is under the control of the person who initiated the message to begin with.<\/p>\n

Controlling Grace<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If there is one issue I have taken great efforts to debunk on this site from the very beginning is the narrative which has been handed down to us over millennia about grace being the \u201cunmerited favor of God.\u201d The AI-posting leads off with this in the first subheading:<\/p>\n

Grace is defined as the free and unmerited favor of God, the disposition to or an act or instance of kindness, courtesy, or clemency.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is the classical definition that religion has been promoting since the times of Noah. It views God as an up-there, out-there deity who seeks to punish the entire world for being \u201csinners\u201d but is willing to offer a reprieve from any judgment as a show of his grace as a kind ruler. Does any of this sound like an integris claim? If God is Love (level 500) then why does this description shriek more like the pride (level 175) of a despot?<\/p>\n

On the Level<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The consciousness level of integrity is the demarcation line of where actions require force or actions demonstrate power. Pride, greed, shame, grief, fear, desire, anger, and apathy are all lower levels of consciousness which reside below the level of integrity. Within these lower levels force must be employed to hold onto these thought patterns not only in yourself but within a social structure. This is the realm of ego.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is the claim I made in the first post<\/a> of this series. I recognize how introducing the model of levels of consciousness to many people of the religious persuasion can cause an immediate rejection because of the claim that this type of material is \u201cnot spiritual.\u201d This is often more an expression of pride \u2013 spiritual in thought, but pride none the less. My only rebuttal, even if I needed to provide one, would be how such a response is evident of thoughts operating below the level of integrity.<\/p>\n

We are all spiritual beings traveling through a human experience. Below level 200 is where the human predisposition for survival is fully expressed by the ego. Once level 200 is crossed, the ego begins its steady regression from first position to second position as the spiritual nature moves to the forefront.<\/p>\n

Since this series is about what I see to be the demise of grace, my focus will be bringing attention to those thoughts and attitudes which are bound to the ego-mind which functions below the 200 level of consciousness. I recognize that many of you might already be above this level, however, allow this to be reminder of the potential traps all of us can enter into if we should slip below the mark of integrity.<\/p>\n

In the next posting I will finish the expose on the AI-posting by looking at how it plays to the ego by demanding a level of consciousness it hasn\u2019t achieved. Moving forward and upward\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
