Manipulations among human beings are disastrous; like computer viruses, we worm our way into our fellow man by way of many unlawful, deceitful measures and words, including flattery. As a consequence, we may trigger in others behavior patterns that they would never have taken on, of their own accord. This manipulation doesn’t take place only in the family; it takes place at work, in business, in politics and also in the economy. These manipulations produce a binding that not only exists over one lifetime but, if they are not dissolved, they are taken by the soul into the beyond and perhaps even into future lives on earth.

“Become free – be free” is surely the goal of every soul on this earth and every person wishes for this freedom. But in order to become free we could ask ourselves some questions: How do we bind ourselves to new people, day after day? And why do we let others make demands on us that bind us to them? Our human programs are not as harmless as we often think. By binding people to us and letting ourselves be bound to others, we often build a very stable and impregnable dungeon, for our fellow man as well as for ourselves.

The most serious and far-reaching manipulation of humankind during the past 2000 years has been committed by church institutions. How? Through rituals, dogmas and ceremonies that have nothing to do with God. For example - according to church tradition, before a child has reached the age of reason, the ritual of baptism is performed. The child is not asked and thus can not say yes or no. In this way, the child is tied by a ceremony to the church, whether it wants to or not. This is the first violation of free will, which thousands, yes millions, of people experience - but do they really want this?

Through this ceremony, a control is imposed to create a channel, so to speak, that has an encompassing influence on the child’s life. The child  grows up under this influence and continues to live on this track: feeling, thinking, speaking and acting according to this indoctrination.

What does this mean? It means a lack of freedom, which in no way is in accordance with the teachings of Jesus, the Christ, because He taught us freedom. And it is not according to the laws of the heavens either; instead it is the law of the  church institutions.

For this reason, the church clergy are responsible for the millions of souls that have not yet found their way back or that have been kept from the way back to the Father in heaven, and were led astray, instead. The clergy bears the responsibility to the last child of God that returns to its Father.

Jesus of Nazareth said the following: “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in.”
