COSMOPHILOSOPHY
by Ludwig Pallmann, excerpted from
Cancer Planet Mission
God himself is Nature and
Nature is God. The Itibi Rayans do not separate God from Nature,
they do not separate good from bad, praising the Lord only for the good things
and unloading the bad things upon the "poor old Devil," living
in the undeveloped parts of the Universe or such old-fashioned places
as Hell.
The Itibi Rayans never say, "You should love your neighbours, or
your enemies," because they feel this is to be hypocritical, or a
case of blind love. In that case, I was told, we could easily go too far,
and include animals, domesticated or wild, and perhaps even turn the
other cheek to virus and bacteria. The forces of life, my friends
say, are vigorous, and the counter-balances of God's Will, which
is the result of the relative respect and values we are able to feel
for these forces. Therefore, the First Commandment of
Cosmophilosophy is that we shall not fear God nor Man nor Nature, nor
inflict pain on Man or Nature. The Third Commandment qualifies this,
and adds that the rights of others are to be respected and one must
act accordingly.
The word "respect" (the Itibi Rayan word Aita) also
means "wariness." Respect the rights of other beings but
watch out for your own, and be prepared to defend them.
Cosmophilosophy entitles you to enforce your own right to respect.
Where does al this lead? It leads to a belief in GOD-NATURE as the
fount of origin of us all. It is the very course GOD-NATURE has
traced for all creatures since the beginning of the Universe.
Humanity is no exception to this rule.
But Cosmophilosophy also says this: Because of the higher
evolutionary pattern of humanity, it is entitled, not to privileges,
but to the benefits of its intelligence and understanding of the
higher laws of God.
These laws, Cosmophilosophy teaches, are in advance of our present
evolutionary level. Cosmophilosophy is not so much a new religion as
an evolutionary state of mind tending to understand the highest laws
of God. Let us demonstrate this by referring to a controversial
subject and ethical problem such as suicide. The great Roman
historian, Pliney said "The best thing God has given Man, amid
all the sufferings of this life, is the power to end it when he
likes." God has given death as his greatest gift with which to
end unbearable plain. I personally know of several people, who, having
been tortured during the war, in an agony of pain, and in fear of
more, asked God to release from their sufferings. That suicide
should be a sin is absolutely against the Will of God. The Seventh
Cosmophilosophic Commandment says "You shall not let others die
in pain, and this includes your own right not to die in pain."
Itibi Rayans look forward to a very old age, much more than we can
hope for, but when old enough to die, they do so without fear or
dismay. They know that the doctors or well-meaning relatives are
there to keep them alive artificially. They believe it is a sin to
prolong the hopeless suffering of any being, not only human beings.
Our friends say that in a perfect pattern of life, old age has to be
perfect and free of pain. It is unworthy for man to die in pain, for
this is not the Will of GOD-NATURE, who has given us the means to
avoid pain. But how are the Itibi Rayans able to guarantee the
observance of such ethical and moral concepts?
As I see it, these people, liberated from the handicaps of egoism,
have learned to organize the problems of population growth, and use
the powers of Nature to bring food and health into every home on
their planet. They have one and the same language on one and the
same motherland. Their homeland is their planet and not a separate
piece of country. They have one and the same law and order for all,
and most important, they have the same universal system of education
and social security, and because of their Seventh Commandment, they
do not fear Death.
Their thousands of years of progressive development have shown them
the absolute need for education and culture. Hence their Fifth
Commandment, which is called Atas, and the Education
Commandment: "You shall at all times work according to your
talents and character, and at all times be kind and cheerful, nor
shall you feel superior to others."
Because of this Commandment, the Itibi Rayans feel it their duty to
develop their talents to the full, and to encourage their children to
study according to their individual characters and ability. But this
encouragement and development is checked through their infallible
computers. It is not merely a question of what an individual thinks
and feels he should work at, and create or express; it is also of
question of what a sophisticated civilization on such an advanced
planet can offer to the younger generations.
On our earth planet, we often talk about morality and religion, but
what kind of work are we able to offer our young children so that
they may understand this morality and religion? Work is the same as
food, and it is no use talking to a hungry man about God.
We must create the right jobs for the right people in order to get
the best out of people, and this we must do without discrimination or
contempt.
The Fourth Commandment of this philosophy, called the Suto Law, is a
rule of which the Earthmen of today have a great need to obey. It is
that you shall abstain from all excesses.
Some Earth religions have imposed a prohibition against the eating of
certain meats, or the imbibing of certain drinks, certain habits of
this and that. But Cosmophilosophy forbids all and every excess
which none of our religions have so far offered as a remedy against
sickness and death.
I recall that Mr. Satu Ra [an extraterrestrial man from Itibi Ra] did
not smoke, but readers will remember that he liked the drink I
offered him on the train from Bombay to Madras, and his sister Xiti
enjoyed her Tom Collins in the Sky Room in the Hotel Crillon in Lima,
Peru. They like to taste things, but they never exaggerate, and I
believe the reason for this moderation is the fact that addiction
might follow, and addiction leads to death. But you will notice that
the Fourth Commandment does not say "Don't do it." It
gives you the right to do it in moderation; do not do it in excess.
Which leads me to my observations about the sexual habits of the
Itibi Rayans. I came to the conclusion that their higher
evolutionary status has made them more sensible in their treatment of
sex.
They believe that sex – if not indulged in excessively – is
good for humanity, and we have all the right to know every detail
about it. It is part of GOD-NATURE himself. Repression and
suppression of these feelings and instincts, they believe can have
cancer producing factors. These are not presumptions, but
biologically proven facts. Discussing this with me, they were sure
that many forms of our cancerous civilization are the result of
former generations having suppressed their natural feelings.
Which brings us back to the First Commandment again: "You shall
not fear God, Man, or Nature, nor inflict pain on them." This
also includes the pain you may inflict on yourself. In other words again,
whatever you do, respect the rights of others, do not behave
unnaturally. There is logic behind all Cosmophilosophical Laws –
they are all combined in the Will of GOD-NATURE himself. The First
Commandment does not say you shall not kill, nor steal, nor do this
or that, it just orders you to beware of inflicting pain, physical or
mental, on any being, human or animal.
"If you still have to kill animals," I remember Satu Ra
saying, "then you have the intelligence to do so without
inflicting pain."
"But you could still kill without inflicting pain. One could do
so," I remember telling Mr. Satu Ra, "and still keep the
First Commandment."
But my friend answered: "You cannot take life without sinning
against the law of Sinver, the Third Commandment of Cosmophilosophy,
which says: You shall respect the rights of other beings."
Isn't it obvious, why should you want to kill any being not out
to destroy you? (I do understand now why the Itibi Rayans are
vegetarians.)
I can see the logic of Cosmophilosophy, the moral and ethical logic
of naturalistic thinking, which according to the Itibi Rayans is the
expression of GOD-NATURE itself.
Religion rarely helps the depressive. We must look at religion not
as a cure for physical, moral and mental ills, but we must do what
our friends have done: Look at religion as the natural expression of
GOD-NATURE.
GOD-NATURE does not say to the sick and depressed: "Go and hide
in some dark corner and start praying." GOD-NATURE definitely
says to all its creatures: GET WELL OR DIE.
Only if we are willing to face this face – which is God's own
intelligence and reality, shall we get well. GOD-NATURE, therefore,
does not want us to look at ourselves as being sick and ill, but as
human beings still able to make friends with God's own beneficial
forces of Nature, willing to help us to get on our feet again. This
also includes our present stage of general contempt, hatred and
worldwide hypocrisy, our preparing for ware while talking
about "peace for all." It is only old-fashioned fear and
superstition which keeps us from new and fundamental naturalistic
reasoning, from making friends with our "imaginary" enemies,
from making friends with ourselves.
It was Satu Ra himself who told me that any religious organization
which preaches love and compassion without a clear and natural
concept leading to the understanding of GOD-NATURE, shall be called a
religion of hypocrisy. The value of religion, he explained, entirely
depends on the active role it is able to play in civilization's
progressive and futuristic pattern. (I have not until today
forgotten about that little thrill of suspense when Satu Ra told this
to me, as a reminder and a warning against dogmatic stiffness and
traditional resignation.) I am sure Mr. Satu Ra is well aware of the
fact that millions of human beings are born into these traditional
dogmas of belief. When I told him that, he answered that a new age
is dawning on humanity, that all this has happened a million times
before on other planets, and that a new social and political
structure shall play an important role within one hundred years from
now. A great and new feeling of friendship shall emerge from the
wreck of older social traditions. It is the young people, he
mentioned, who shall destroy these spider-webs of prejudiced belief.
I was very much surprised when Satu Ra told me about a great feeling
of friendship which shall come over many nations on our planet
because of a unique situation – a unique political situation I
never believed to be possible. He mentioned the United States of
America and Russia, and said that because both countries had had the
historical opportunity to overcome traditional nonsense and had
opened up tremendous stretches of new land for millions of new
settlers, the whole planet Earth within one hundred years from now
will benefit from the friendship he predicted between the United
States and Russia. [Published in 1970.]
I hope he is right. It certainly would be a surprise, especially as
humanity, long enough, has had to live under the threat of nuclear
war.
I also remember asking my friend about his view concerning India and
China, and he answered that India needs a strict and modern social
reform, combined with economic development enforced through absolute
totalitarian laws. (This surprised me very much.) Satu Ra said that
it is the only way to close the thousands of wounds from an almost
dying body. About China, my friend said that unfortunately the
Chinese people, from what Itibi Rayan computers contended, had always
lived near a famine level and will suffer an overwhelming natural
calamity soon if they do not learn to control their population growth
and return to absolute individual freedom.
(Xiti, as well as Satu Ra, told me on several occasions of the
urgency of our religious leaders to understand this need to control
our present growth of population.) "A dogmatic form of
thinking," they made it clear, "is not at all in accordance
with the ever changing natural forces of GOD-NATURE."
I do believe in this myself. I think that the race towards universal
progress is only starting and those of our religious organizations
which do not want to come along will stay behind, way behind. I also
feel that in time to come Cosmophilosophy will make it easier for
humanity to reject its present materialistic civilization, and lead,
together with those religious organizations willing to learn.
If Satu Ra's predictions are true, significantly, by the middle
of the twenty-first century, with the futuristic pattern of
Cosmophilosophy, our world will have rid itself from all political
and social nonsense. Humanity will have turned to the concept of the
universal Lord of the Cosmos: GOD-NATURE.
But of one thing my beloved friends have warned me: Not to mislead
the public, not to start a new religion, not to talk about
mysteries. Not to allow any changes to be added to the pure form of
the Seven Cosmic Laws of GOD-NATURE. Not to go about this in a
fanatical way, nor make a new dogma out of it. Not to disturb the
present way of thinking, unless people themselves feel a feeling of
friendship towards Cosmophilosophy. Let us simply become friends of
Cosmophilosophy. Let us give these futuristic ideas a chance without
destroying their naturalistic strength.
All of us, religious-minded or not, should read the commandments of
our friends from time to time. Only then, with our present religious
convictions, will the beneficial value to health and mind be ours in
time to come.
