Chapter 2  
     
1.
 In order to function it is necessary for human beings to assume a level of trust,
  
2.
 That things are what they seem,
  
3.
 That people in positions of authority shall honor their oaths,
  
4.
 And that those who appear and profess to be holy and spiritual are what they claim.
  
5.
 Without such assumed trust, no person, nor community could effectively function.
  
6.
 For a full life of family, of work and interaction requires that our attention is focused upon the obligations of living, rather than the search for the truth within of societies.
  
7.
 So it is with great shock and anger when we discover that people, and sometimes those closest to us breach our assumed trust.
  
8.
 Such breach of faith can sometime be so harsh that our very faith in the institutions of relationships, of marriage, of religion and government can be tested.
  
9.
 It is therefore regrettable that many find it difficult and sometimes impossible to return to the same level of assumed trust they enjoyed before such breaches.
  
10.
 “Ignorance is bliss”, is not then a statement worshipping ignorance and despising the search for greater truth, but a statement of necessary truth in living, if one is to find the happiest moments of life- when assumed trust allows us to focus on personal choices and living, without challenging the boundaries of our existence, nor the motives of those that guide it.
  
11.
 So in revealing the deeper truth of our faith in God, in the churches and religions to which we subscribe, in the leaders we trust as good and true, there is no immediate joy, but a great sense of loss.
  
12.
 A loss of innocence,
  
13.
 A loss of the days of blissful child like ignorance, when good was good and bad was bad,
  
14.
 A loss of trust and great suspicion of many things,
  
15.
 A withdrawal from the superficial of society and sometimes great anger towards the great lies that are told,
  
16.
 And finally even a great anger towards these words and the Supreme Bible of God itself.
  
17.
 For it seems both inconsistent and inconceivable that a God of love could allow such a tremendous lie as the church of the Paul of Tarsus and the Jewish High Priests of Ananus to survive for so long.
  
18.
 How could a God of Love possibly allow the death of so many millions of people over two thousand years by an organisation that kills in the name of love?
  
19.
 How could evil masquerading as holiness be allowed to exist without challenge for so long?
  
20.
 These questions and statements are not easily answered, nor should they be.
  
21.
 For upon them rests the future faith and belief of a great many, both alive and passed.
  
22.
 The answer then begins, not with the traditional apology of “free will”, but in the very nature and design of the universe.
  
23.
 In order to more fully explain the nature of the God, the nature of the universe and the nature of being human, two great books are given to you- the Journey of UCA (23 chapters) and the Journey of Self (23 chapters).
  
24.
 That you may understand that life is a dream, that what we think and what we dream is real, but what is real is an illusion.
  
25.
 That because the universal creator, the ALL, the Unique Collective Awareness cannot interpose on itself twice, it is not able to direct intervene as an overpowering force, but only work through life capable of self-realization within the dream.
  
26.
 In other words, the power for change has always rested with higher order beings, without ourselves and only with ourselves.
  
27.
 The clarity of these words is deeply dependent upon your understanding of the two journeys and the meaning of Awareness Loves Life (ALL).
  
28.
 Without the clarity and understanding of the journey, these words have little power.
  
29.
 But with clarity and understanding of the journey and the nature of God, you understand then the power that you have, that all human beings have in the palms of their hands.
  
30.
 The reason that evil has been allowed to masquerade for so long is that human beings have allowed it to be so.
  
31.
 The reason that any evil exists and spreads is when good men and women do nothing.
  
32.
 These days are at and end.
  
33.
 It is indeed the End of Days and the beginning of a new era.
