The Book of New Creation
Sample Ordinances
From the ‘writings on the wall’ of
William Tarkovsky
"Without a moral code, a point to our lives, we are lost… and we are lost…
"Look around you…
"Are we not lost?"
William Tarkovsky, Aug 2012
Apocalypse
“There are dead zones in our oceans”
1
There are dead zones in our oceans, expanding with each season and never contracting
2
There are nil zones of ozone high above our heads
3
The glaciers whose melt-waters feed our valleys and our fields are vanishing while we sleep
4
The ice caps that reject the sun’s heat are melting with the heat of our industry and consumption
5
The permafrost that holds ancient marshland in place is de-frosting and unleashing its contagion
6
The seas that feed and sustain our world are rising and baring their teeth
7
The very air that we breath grows warmer than it should be, grows cold where it should be warm
8
Storms smash our cities, kill our people and destroy our crops
9
The species that abut our species are dying all around us
10
We are on the brink of the apocalypse
“The time has come”
11
Now is the time to embrace our fear
The time has come to be afraid
When animals know fear what do they do?
When animals know fear they turn and flee – or turn and fight
We are the turners and the fighters
We are resourceful
We will face the menace squarely
We are strong
We will look upon our enemy with wide unblinking eyes
We are resolute
We can overcome the menace that rushes towards us
We are resourceful
We will meet our enemy face to face
12
We are afraid - yet we are willing to fight
We are afraid
Yet we will not retreat
We are afraid
Yet we will overcome the menace rushing towards us
For we are resourceful
We will meet our enemy face to face
13
But who is our enemy?
What is this menace?
From where does it come?
14
We are the menace
We are the enemy
The enemy is ourselves
Purpose
“We are lost”
15
Without a moral code, a point to our
lives, we are lost… and we are lost…
Look around you…
Are we not lost?
16
A house without structure is not a house. A human being without purpose is not a human being. Look around you. What kinds of animal do you see?
17
The rivers of fact on which we are fed dominate our minds. But behind this complexity is there not a simple truth which should long ago have been revealed?
18
Humanity is lost in an ocean of belief. Each self-serving ideology hides its motivation behind a tsunami of propaganda, a multiplicity of facts
19
We will cast off the untruths of our leaders and controllers
We will open our eyes
Our Mission
20
For we are part of a mission that began when life began, that will not cease until all life ceases. We are a part of the great, thrusting project of evolution, within which we shall never be alone, as part of which we have not just one life but a thousand million lives
Purpose
27
We are the guardians of evolution. We are the protectors of our species. We are the defenders of our children’s future. We are the adults of our species. The protection of our species and of those species upon which our species depends is our mission. We are warriors for this mission. We are soldiers in an army with this sole purpose
29
The source of our authority lies in the fact that we are human. Our commitment to the survival of the human race is implicit in that fact. Our commitment to humanity arises from that fact. Our love for humankind is as undeniable as that fact
Corruption
“Do not trust your politicians”
36
Do not trust your politicians
Do not trust your religions
Do not trust your celebrities
Do not trust your businessmen, your gurus, your pundits, your pop stars, your generals
Do not trust those who call out for your trust
37
The leaders of our world self-select for the worst in human nature: for power-hunger, for narcissism, for greed. Would you share the same table with men such as these? Would you share the same table with women such as these? Can you trust them with your children’s future, with the future of your species?
Meaning
38
Our leaders deny that we have meaning. In its place they put media gossip. In its place they put television platitude. Their purpose is to confuse us, to mislead us. Their very purpose is to make us weak
39
Why should we have a purpose that conflicts with their purpose? Will we still be enslaved if we know our own minds?
45
Consumption and wealth is the enemy of our species. The wealth of those who join us on the path of New Creation lies in action not possession – lies in wresting the freedom of our species from our owners and controllers
Your Faiths and Creeds
46
The faiths of today exist to serve their leaders, to swathe them in privilege and comfort. They provide hierarchies of power up which the power-hungry climb – and their rampant hypocrisy cries out for redress
47
Reverence and subordination are the weapons of your faiths – but they have no weapons against the followers of New Creation
49
And hankering at your heels are the latter-day cults, with their insidious inventions of parable and myth
50
Theirs is the voice of decadence and corruption, of power-hunger and deceit, of ego-mania and subservience
51
These cults deny their origins. They lie about their history. They lie about their visions. They fabricate revelation but seek only control
Affirmation
We Are Strong
200
In humanism and service we shall find courage. In New Creation the animal in the man is harnessed, the alien is made human, the human becomes keeper of itself
201
In New Creation we are one
202
In New Creation we are strong
Join Us
203
Disagree – and you define us
Become our enemy – and you will make us stronger
Change – and gain meaning
Join us – and know purpose
204
Self-change is our weapon
Self-sacrifice is our weapon
Service to our species and service to our world is our purpose
Unity and belonging are our strength
Imagination and thought are our strength
Dedication and commitment are our strength
Dedication to humanity and to the service of life everywhere is our strength
It is a strength that our enemies cannot understand
205
Our enemies will resist us
The self-destructive will resist us
The greedy and the self-obsessed will fight us -
but we know who is wrong and who is right without the need of fear or superstition
And they know who is wrong and who is right, but their perceptions rest upon irrational belief...
206
We alone have the strength of true belief, untrammelled by prejudice or parable or myth
We alone have the strength of unity and meaning
We alone are the adults of our species
We alone are the wardens to our world
Our enemies shall want and need and crave
and we shall stand before them with a level gaze
207
Our eyes are the eyes of humans everywhere
Our children are their children
Our future is their future
We will not stand aside and watch their self-destruction
We will not appease their societies of superstition or greed
nor abase ourselves before their edifice of wealth
We are casting off their pointless shackles
Our purpose is irrefutable
208
Disagree – and you define us
Become our enemy – and you will make us stronger
Change – and achieve meaning
Join us – and live forever
