Heaven's Criminal Code: Prepare Your Defense

One of the most disturbing ideas known to

our human imaginations is that of the Final Judgment, the

accounting we are called to give at the end of our lives.

Born in the depths of our consciousness, this notion of a

final judgment is a consequence of our perception that we

have priorities and goals in our lives. It is a measurement

of just how successful or unsuccessful we have been in the

venture of life. This book suggests a possible set of

ethics for the individual vis-à-vis his or her own

self-ethics that reflect the obligations life imposes on the

living. Written in the form of a Criminal Code, this book

both in structure and terminology mimic legal documents.

The prime goal is to call attention to the deep psychic

fusion between what we believe to be divine

expectations-that is, those of the Creator-and the

expectations of our consciousness. The key postulate of the

Biblical text is really this: that Creator and creature

communicate with each other through consciousness. More than

that perhaps: that Creator and creature blend and merge

within consciousness. This Constitution and Criminal Code

will thus have to account for projections of both God's

desires and the desires of our consciousness. They are

structured in the principles laid out in the Ten

Commandments and in the punishments of the Ten Plagues, both

found in the book of Exodus. The Creator's expectations

and punishments correspond to similar expectations and

punishments within our consciousness. Employing collective

and personal symbolism and the reading of Carl Jung of the

Commandments, the book steer away from the morality usually

applied when judging, instead allowing the soul's yearnings

and aspirations to guide this evaluation of the quality and

propriety of life.
