"RULER OF LIFE"

© Mar 1993, Lady WingMaker

When we are born we come complete with a ruler, a Divine Ruler, with accurate measurements, tick marks, annotated for self-worth, self-esteem, self-confidence, all impeccable measurements of righteous moral and social behaviour. And we still have those qualities instilled somewhere in the deep dark recesses of our being. That elusive place is our mind, elusively surrounded by our brain's conscious and subconscious controls.

To prove that we have always known the difference between right and wrong, look at the statistics on sexually abused children/adults. Statistics demonstrate that the child, either before, during or after the molestation, or perhaps during every stage of it, that the child knew it was wrong. That child may never have been exposed to an adults naked body, or to the conditioning that sexual molestation was and is wrong, yet, that child knew it was wrong.

So, one of the tick marks on our Divinel Ruler are the measurements of the difference between right and wrong. Then, somewhere down the road a dysfunctional parent, teacher, trainer, etc. will invalidate our Divine Ruler's tick marks and replace them with their own dysfunctional tick marks. These replaced/substituted measurements confuse the child and creates conflict in him or her. Henceforth, the ruler is no longer a valid measurement of what's right and wrong. It is no longer Divine, it is Earthly.

This replacing of measurements between right and wrong, good and bad, light and dark, continues throughout our childhood. The parent continually replaces the correct tick mark with their own inaccurate one. By the time we enter into puberty it's no wonder that we are so confused because our Divine Ruler has had all of its measurement marks replaced by dysfunctional human ones.

That ruler was and still is the measurement of self. Interestingly, all the tick marks have been virtually changed or destroyed by the time we turn five years old. To prove my point, even if sexual abuse occurs in our teen years, we are unable to admit it and tell the truth about what happened, let alone bring it up. Why? Because oftentimes the parent or abuser will tell the abused not to say anything, and the ruler has been so invalidated that the abused does what the abuser says. Meanwhile, the abused child knows he or she is being done wrong to, but feels helpless to fight or speak out. There are times when the abused child does speak out but the horribleness of the sexual abuse is so offensive to the mother, that she usually cannot and does not do anything. That in of itself destroys yet another tick mark on that child's 'Ruler of Life'.

To understand what I'm trying to say, visualize a ruler held horizontally. At birth, the only tick marks on it are on top; they are Divine tick marks. They are the measurements by which we will chart our path through life using the higher laws and teachings. Then, each and every tick mark that a dysfunctional parent obliterates or changes replaces the divine tick marks. The Divine marks have now fallen to the bottom plane of the ruler. They are not done away with entirely, they are simply over-ridden by human ones. By the time we are five years old, those Divine tick marks (teachings) have been replaced and the human teachings are now reigning.

Into early adulthood, all that can be seen on that ruler are the human teachings that are conditioned, learned, and are the dysfunctional human concepts that can and oftentimes do lead a child or young adult into the so-called acceptable amoral and asocial behaviour. Each generation the amoral and asocial behaviour becomes greater and greater, thus more and more accepted.

All those tick marks are what eventually become our messed up sense of self-worth, self-esteem and self-confidence, then unfortunately, we pass them onto our children and so on. Eventually, we are the ones who put ourselves above that Divine Ruler of Life, and recondition our children as our parents have done to us. It is a vicious cycle than can only be stopped by recognizing the incorrect behaviour we have been raised with and change it. It takes a willful act to stop it.

It's said that our minds are part of the Universal Mind, and if so, then our mind remembers all the garbage of myriad past lifetimes. Somewhere along the line, we were conditioned to think that if we don't get it right this lifetime, then we will return to repeat it again and again. That's the destructiveness of reincarnation. Our Higher Source, or God, wants us back and has made a way for us, but it is jealousy and evilness that has even created the word reincarnation.

But all is not lost, because all we have to do is get back the original tick marks. In other owrds, restore our rulers, and we restore our lives. Fix our rulers and live according to those divine guidelines, then we will return to the higher realms where we belong. But we have to do it. We have to recognize the dysfunctional programming of our childhoods and we have to change who and what we are. The good news is that we don't have to do it alone, God and His Mighty Hosts of Angels are ever present to help us, if only we call out to them.
