This is a conversation between Ralph Allison and Charity, a Professor CIE.
Charity: For the human population, that is another rule that the population at that time laid down its "law" stating that it was from The Creator and therefore we have to follow. It is a very good rule but for ourselves, we're not going to dictate to the human population that they should not do that. What we are concerned about is the matter of destruction of the Essence.
Ralph: I'm just trying to make sure we cover all the items, because those are all laid down as God's rules of conduct and every church goes by these things in what they preach. And then they stand up there and make you feel guilty if you have failed to follow them all. And that is a major control mechanism in our culture.
Charity: Again, it is a control feature that you humans have applied to other humans.
Ralph: That is what it says."These are the commandments that the Lord gave to all of you when you were gathered at the mountain when you spoke with a mighty voice from the fire and from the thick clouds. He gave us these commandments and no others." No amendments allowed, I guess. Then he wrote them on two stone tablets and gave them to me."
Charity: Is that not what
Ralph: There they were, written all out on the stone tablets.
Charity: Why would The Creator want to write out something that He delegated to the human population on fixed rules? There are no rules in our realm. Why should The Creator choose to have rules for the human population? Why would He need to change the avenue of the way things are run?
Ralph: I'm looking at the setting of this, you see. Because, "Moses gave God's laws and teachings to the people of Israel. It was after they had come out of Egypt and were in the valley east of the Jordan River, opposite of the town of Bethpore, that he gave them all these laws. This was in the territory that had belonged to King Sheehan, and the Ammorites, who had ruled in the town of Heshban. Moses and the people of Israel defeated him when they came out of Egypt. They occupied his land and the land of King Og of Basham, the other Amerite king who lived east of the Jordan." So they come into this territory, conquered the people who lived there, and were setting up their own civilization.
Charity: Why would The Creator want to destroy another population?
Ralph: I have no answer to that. I just quoted what it said here in this holy book. That they defeated him and occupied the land, which I assume the armies got into battle, and the Israelites –
Charity: Is this the book that Andy has said –
Ralph: That's it.
Charity: This book here
Ralph: That's one version of it, yes.
Charity: Why do they quote this?
Ralph: Because they have been told that The Creator practically hand wrote it.
Charity: Why would The Creator want to write this book?
