Believing Everyone Else's Lies: Why You Can't Say Hello

Lewis S. Bostwick (1918-1995), Founder of BPI:

How did our communication get all garbled? Why can’t we hear or speak clearly?

Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was a God who became very frustrated. When He created a likeness of Himself, He gave His creations the ability to communicate. But they became so interested in communicating with one another—and so enthralled with pretty rocks, lovely yellow metal, and creative physical expression (sex), that they forgot to communicate with Him. God became very angry at this! Suddenly one day, He heard a lot of angry words and saw a group of His creative beings building a tower… He heard the verbal communication… the noise, and He realized that they had forgotten how to communicate. “Thou stupid cowards,” He said. “Thou shalt only have the gift of tongues until you learn how to communicate on a spirit level.”

It seems we still have not learned this lesson. Human beings are a very peculiar combination of man and spirit. The mass—a body—can communicate on an emotional level, and the spirit can communicate on a mental image level (that is, a nonverbal, or a “picture”, or a mental telepathy level).

From generation to generation, a horrible sin perpetuates itself. That is the assumption that “you know as much as I do.” How many times have I given my four-year-old a little swat or spoken in anger because I assumed she knew as much as I did! And this happens with mother and daughter, father and son, husband and wife, employee and employer, teacher and student, scientist and layman…

So it is with all spirit. We assume that another spirit knows everything, that it is all-loving, all-beautiful, and all-creative. This is the truth! BUT—a big but!—if you have a lie stuck in some part of you that Daddy is pain and Mama is total survival (otherwise known as “love”), your wonderful, pure spiritual energy runs right through this lie, and the emotional levels of your body change. Your communication with your Dad and Mother is altered for the rest of your life.

Now, once you, the spirit, have lost your ability to express yourself with freedom and clarity, you take your pictures full of pain and create a picture of SYMPATHY, from and toward all your peers growing up with the same problems. Do you see how this works? We cover these all up with lies till the time comes when we can no longer communicate with one another.

Then—be amused!—we create law. Since we have lost our ability to be free and create as spirit, we start playing the game of law. The game of law represents symbols of father and mother—and the only reward is punishment (“recognition”). What a bad game.

We are so stuck in this game—with its sub-games of “you must be perfect” or “you must be the best” (i.e. competition)—that our prisons and juvenile homes are full. Psychiatrists, psychologists, doctors and scientists know nothing of spirit and how spirit communicates.

An effect of the law game is that the sensitive, creative human being will create whatever the authority expects, even killing, lying, cheating and breaking the rules. This is because people have been taught to please the game player, instead of knowing the God within themselves, or the message Jesus and other creators brought.

Mankind has always destroyed communication. Rulers and authorities create an atom bomb to threaten your survival—and it acts as an iron collar around your neck. Hello, slave. You are in my power. What?! You don’t believe in God? Send that man to the doctor, give him some pills to turn him into a good slave.

Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha. I’m a bad guy.
