Victory Through Surrender
Original author: James Meadows Apr 16, 2021 In Urian Kabbalistic thought, the wisdom meaning of Netzach (The Sephirot of Victory) is, "Victory through Surrender to God." That is to say, we learn, often the hard way, that God is always going to do things his/it/her way, no matter what we say or think about it; and we can either surrender and adapt to the truth of this, or spend a lot of time pouting and complaining about the unfairness. Arguing with God, is like an ant arguing with a steamroller, which is to say, rather futile. As The Elyon teaches us, "There is the way things ought to be, and there is the way things are." The truth of our own nature and the world we live in, can be hard to cope with and comprehend, as it does not conform to our ideals and expectations, and what works, what is effective in making our lives and the lives of others better, often flies completely in the face of altruistic reasoning. Uriel teaches us (that is to say, "God's Light reveals") that we are to look at things pragmatically and realistically, and even teaches us to channel our dark-side or negative aspects toward the service of the greater good, rather than repressing or denying that such impulses and facets of self are present within us. I would say that to truly understand Urianism, and all religious and spiritual and sociological phenomenon, one should thoroughly study and seek to deeply understand the revelation of Carl Jung (especially Aion). The Green Order or Emerald Order, aka Order of Gabriel, calls to those who are fixated on or compelled by their nature to be involved in the arena of politics and social activism. A Urian, reading the Twenty Laws, will understand that our social views are what many term, "Conservative," or "Traditional." Yet, if you look at our overall gospel (the Gospel of the Light of God) it is a mixed bag. Environmentalism and Animal Rights, for instance, are usually considered a Left Wing viewpoint... Our opposition to things like torture, medical testing on animals, and even opposition to any form of sexism (whether misandry or misogyny), coupled with a technocratic belief in things like VR-schooling and space exploration, as well as ideas about community banking and communal/cooperative farming and living, tend to be so-called liberal and futurist positions, and are juxtaposed by our positions of social issues (again, see the Twenty Laws). Our position on genetic engineering (to create the angelic human race) and population control are even more offensive to most who would call themselves conservatives. Indeed, it is quite evident that our teachings, in fact, alienate us in some ways from both sides that are at war in society today. So members of the Green Order have a tough road to walk. Winning at politics and in social activism, can mean having to make compromises and even associate with individuals, groups, and factions that have common interests, but which may not always be completely on our own side, or even all that desirable to hob-nob with. Yet a society that permits religious freedom, for instance, is far more desirable for Urians than a society or form of government that arrests, imprisons, tortures, enslaves, and shoots religious people. The same people persecuting Christians, in example, or hating on Muslims, are likely to persecute Urians, even as those who are bigoted against religious/conservative Jews are likely to be prejudice against Urians as well. Unlike many religious groups, for instance, our view of other monotheistic religions is born of pragmaticism, not idealism - in that those who believe in and serve the One, who hold to the more traditional views of life, cannot survive and thrive in the face of radical secularism and growing social hostility toward tradition and religion, lest they eventually start to unite and even to coalesce into a single dynamic front. Christians, Jews, Muslims, Zoroastrians, Druse, Samaritans, Sikhs, etc... Would be better served and have far greater success as a voting/influence block, by agreeing to disagree on the details, and coming together in common cause, creating a uniformed and universal set of goals and values. How likely is that to happen? Not very (pragmatically speaking). In the end, it is likely Urianism will wind up, when and if it leaves its infancy stage, having to haul the cart alone, and most likely in the face of both secular and religious opposition. It does not mean we have to sink to their level, but we must also consider that most sectarian types just thrive on being factionalized. Maybe it is even a human trait to divide and fracture(?). Still, the Green Order is going to have to come to grips with the reality of the political and social scheme of things. We can find common cause with this group or that, but ultimately, we are our own thing (Mystocratic and Urianocratic). In modern example, our solution to the racial issues in society are for there to be only one race and a merger into one cultural/spiritual/religious identity (From Heaven)... All races intermingling and intermarrying, until there is only one. More than the inter-breeding, our teaching advocates using genetic science and mystical/spiritual training, to lift humanity out of the mundane and into the arcane - a new level of existence altogether. In the spirit world, race is completely irrelevant - but then again, so is gender (spirit beings from higher planes literally have no genitals, no nipples, no anuses, and can wear whatever skin-tone they choose). Uriel often appeared to the founder as a large muscular black man and at other times like a beautiful male figure with long blonde hair and golden countenance. In other words, he/it/she could appear as it chose. Our solution to sectarian and inter-religious warfare, is one universal religion centered on One Universal Deity. Our solution to environmental issues is to build downward into underground cities, and rise upward - ascending to colonize space, thus alleviating pressure on the eco-system of planet earth, while terraforming other worlds, and even creating generational ships/cities within large asteroids or rogue moons. The ultimate goal of Urianism is the complete transformation of the self and our global society, indeed the entire human species... The formation of a Religio-Mystical & Meritocratic Democratic Republic (e.g. Urianocratic) to eventually unite the entire world under one banner. And the Green Order is all about carrying forward that vision of Kingdom Come. However, to achieve ultimate victory, we must each first surrender to God's will, his/it/her voice within us, and walk in spirit and truth, carried as if on the current of a mighty river of consciousness, toward the ultimate end. For Kingdom Come is not a mere human goal, but God's will and promise across many religions and prophetic visions given to humanity for millennia. At present, I believe humanity has become so fragmented and hard hearted, so defiant to the Divine, as to make pushing forward oh so very difficult - but the soil shall be tilled and in the midst of humanity's darkest time, a new dawn will rise. The Green Sashes of the Urian Kingdom will be our political class in those days, with the Gold Sash, even as our soldiers and officers of law would wear the red, etc... The Black Robe Green Sash is more forceful, loud, or radical about how they achieve the goal - perhaps a person who believes that the greater good justifies the means by which such ends are achieved. The White Robe Green Sash believes that love, charity, kindness, community service, championing the cause of the weak, the oppressed, and the afflicted is perhaps the better way to promote and further the aims of the Kingdom (winning hearts and minds). The Grey Robe Green Sash is perhaps the most pragmatic and the planner, the strategist, who thinks things through, plays the game as a master chess player. Such is the Emerald Order of Hanael (Anael)
