From: "Adelaide Institute" To: "'Walter Mueller'" Cc: "CHP" Subject: Using people Date: Wednesday, August 10, 2005 10:25 PM Walter, Thanks for your response. We all use people - mutual benefit of association - that then needs to be augmented with empathetic understanding, natural justice, a general moral framework, etc. I try to do it that way - and many a times it has helped retain workable relationships if not outright love, i.e. if one bothers and cares in retaining certain relationships. Thanks Fredrick PS: Without asking for your permission, I am sending a copy of this email to Germar - as your Right-of-Reply to my letter. ====================================== -----Original Message----- From: Walter Mueller [mailto:thetruthisback@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday, 11 August 2005 11:09 AM To: info@adelaideinstitute.org Subject: Re: A partial view inside Revisionism's politics... Dear Fredrick, I was not surprised to receive your letter in defense of Germar Rudolf. I have known for a long time that you are good friends. Let me first get something out of the way. If you think I apologize, you have another thing coming. If any apology is to make, then it is Germar Rudolf and his associates. You know that I was right about my assessment of him being a narcissist. For the last year, I have tried so hard to get along with him, however, that arrogant bastard wouldn't even say thank you for ANYTHING we did for him. He didn't even acknowledge it. His defense of Jamie Kelso prooved to me that the Kelso letter is not fake. But here is one thing we can do. He leaves me alone and I leave him alone. Should he continue to bash me, I will publish several letters from him that Harvey Taylor gave to me. In these letters he did more than just assassinate my character. So, it's that easy. All I ask from Germar Rudolf is to be left alone. He is a user and I had to find it out the hard way!

This is > the realization that the > wisdom of the Divine is discovered deep within your > own soul. There are wide > ranges of expressions that can induce the > self-enlightenment experience and > liberate the soul from external controls. Inasmuch > as these expressions can > vary, the intent of the expressions is quite > narrowly defined as the intent > to expand into a state of integration whereby all > aspects of your conscious > self become increasingly aligned with your divine > essence. > > There are three particular life principles that help > to align your > perspective with the perspective of divine essence > and thus facilitate the > self-enlightenment experience: 1) seeing the Divine > in all; 2) nurturance of > life; and 3) gratitude. When you apply these > principles, a deeper meaning > will be revealed to the seemingly random events of > your life experience. > > Seeing the Divine in All > > This is the principle that the Divine is present and > can be seen everywhere > and in all manifestations of life. It is interwoven > in all things like a > mosaic whose pieces adhere to the same wall, and are > thus unified. However, > it is not the picture that unifies the mosaic, but > the wall upon which its > pieces adhere. Similarly, the Divine paints a > picture so diverse and > seemingly unrelated that there appears to be no > unification. Yet it is not > the outward manifestations that unify. It is the > inward center of divine > energy that unifies all life. > > Seeing the Divine in all is the principle that all > manifestations of life > convey an expression of All That Is. It does not > matter how far the unifying > energy has been distorted; the Divine can be > observed. It is the action of > perceiving unification even when the outward > manifestations appear random, > distorted, or chaotic. The principle of seeing the > Divine in all is the > perception that life is perfect in its expression > because it flows from > perfection, and that no matter how divergent its > manifestations are, all > life is an extension of the Divine. > > In light of the obvious turmoil and destruction that > accompanies life on > Earth, this is an outlook or perception that may > seem naive. How can life in > all its forms and expressions be perceived as > optimal or perfect? This is > the great paradox of life, and it cannot be > reconciled with your mental or > emotional capabilities. It can only be understood in > the context of the > soul, which is deathless, timeless, and limitless. > > Calling forth the divine perceptions of the soul is > actualized through > looking for the outward and inward manifestations of > the Divine. It is not > only that the Divine is found within you and within > every individual > manifestation of life; it is also in itself the > wholeness of all life. Thus, > this principle calls for seeing the Divine in all > its diverse forms of > manifestation, as well as in the wholeness of life > itself. > > Nurturance of Life > > Life, in this definition, is an individual's > sovereign reality. It is > subjective and impressionable. Life is the wholeness > of experience flowing > past the individual's field of perception in the > present moment. Nurturance > of life is the principle whereby an individual is in > alignment with the > natural expansion of intelligence inherent within > all life. This alignment > enhances the life energy that flows past the > individual with the clear > intent of gentle support. It is the action of > opening to the highest motive > in all people and in all life and supporting the > flow of this highest > intention towards its ultimate expression. In so > doing, the action is > performed without judgment, analysis, or attachment > to outcome. It involves > simply nurturing the highest energy that flows from > all people and all > beings, and thus supporting their fullest expression > of life. > > This is a departure from the normal perception that > nurturing support can > only be granted when others are in alignment with > your personal will and > desires. When, instead, you view everything in your > life as an integrated > energy flowing as an expression of ever-expanding > Divine Intelligence, all > life is honored as an extension of the Divine. > Energy is an element of life > that is so subtly interwoven with form that it is > one, in much the same > manner as space and time are inextricably linked in > union. Life energy is > always in a state of becoming. It is never static or > regressive in its > natural state. You are very capable of nurturing > this natural expansion of > energy to forge new channels of expression and > experience. > > There are many specific actions that can be taken to > nurture life. Each soul > can transform energy through a tremendous variety of > means. Working through > your body, your soul is able to collect and store > energy and redirect its > purpose or application. This transformation of > energy can occur on both > personal and universal levels of expression. That > is, within an individual's > field of awareness, energy can be transformed to > conform to a vision of > personal welfare, or aligned with a vision of > universal welfare and > goodwill. > > One of the best methods to transform energy is > through one's belief system. > All beliefs have energy systems that act like > birthing chambers for the > manifestation of beliefs. Within these energy > systems are currents that > direct life experience. Your soul is aware of these > currents either > consciously or unconsciously and allows them to > carry you into the realm of > experience that exemplifies your core belief system. > By cultivating beliefs > that expand and transform energy, you are able to > engage energy systems that > are nurturing to life in all its myriad forms. When > your beliefs are clearly > defined as intentions, your life energy engages > fully in the present moment. > Clarity of intention is essential to engaging the > energy system of your core > beliefs, and to allowing the nurturance of life to > prevail in all > activities. > > Gratitude > > If you are aware — or at least interested in having > the awareness — of how > perfectly the Divine supports your sovereign > reality, there is a powerful > and natural sense of gratitude that flows from you > to the Divine. It is this > wellspring of gratitude that opens the channel of > support from the Divine to > the individual and establishes a collaboration of > purpose to transform the > individual soul into a pure expression of divine > essence. It is principally > gratitude that opens you to connection with your > divine essence. > > When you project gratitude, regardless of > circumstance or condition, life > becomes increasingly supportive. This feeling of > gratitude coupled with the > mental concept of appreciation is expressed like an > invisible message in all > directions and at all times. Gratitude is an > essential facet of love that > opens you to redefine your purpose as a supportive > extension of the Divine, > rather than the whimsical outreach of fate or the > exacting reaction of a > mechanical, detached universe. Establishing a > relationship with the universe > through the outflow of gratitude also attracts life > experience that is > transformative — experience that is richly devoted > to uncovering life's > deepest meaning and most formative purpose. > > When you are aligned with divine essence and live > from this perspective as > part of an ever-unfolding reality, you attract a > natural state of harmony. > This does not mean that your life is without > problems or discomforts; rather > it signifies a perception that there is an integral > purpose in what life > reveals. Natural harmony perceives that life > experience is meaningful to the > extent that you are aligned with your divine > essence. When your personal > reality flows in alignment with divine essence, you > create lasting joy and > inner peace. > > It is the perspective of divine essence that all > life is pure love in its > fullest expression, and that in this single concept, > all life is conceived > and forever exists. This becomes the core belief > from which all other > beliefs arise. And as these beliefs expand outward, > this core belief system > emerges with a clear intent of supporting a > fundamental perspective of > seeing, nurturing, and appreciating the universe as > the divine cradle from > which all life is created and evolves. > > These life principles are merely symbols represented > in words and served to > you as a potential recipe to stir awake the embers > of light that tirelessly > burn within. There are no specific techniques or > rituals that are required > to invoke the power of these principles. They are > simply perspectives. In a > real sense, they are intentions that attract > experience that expands > consciousness. They do not provide quick fixes or > instant realizations.
