The Divine Hierarchy of Life ©

PREAMBLE

WARNING - This is not for the intellectually-challenged. The following is in no form or fashion written in a religious context nor should it be perceived or misconstrued as such. It is an honest manifestation of the author’s truth. Whenever and wherever I reference God, I am referring to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And He is not Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, nor bears any semblance to any man-made religion. God did not instruct ‘Man’ to create religion. He instructed ‘Man’ to establish His kingdom, His church, on earth. ‘Man’ is the original word by which all of humanity—male and female—is divinely inspired.

I do not profess to be a guru on any subject matter beyond knowledge of self in its most literal sense – knowledge of myself, Jessel Brizan. It is a distinct difference between religion and a relationship with God. Far removed from any ‘nation’ or religion, I embarked on my own journey of self-discovery, while residing in 1997 New York, when I actively sought a deeper relationship with my Creator, God.

I coined the phrase ‘Inner Planetary Travel’ © in reference to my subconscious-conscious transcendental travels, particularly induced when listening to instrumental classical jazz - from ‘Astral Traveling’ with Pharoah Sanders; to fleeting expressions of love with John Coltrane’s ‘Naima’; or when feeling ‘Kind of Blue’ with Miles Davis. During this self-induced coma, I usually experience a heightened sense of creativity as my imagination traverses my deepest inner thoughts across a universe of ideas that I can only define as the original source of inspiration – my Creator, God.

If you consider the universe as “all existing matter and space considered as a whole,” then it holds that if there are an infinite number of possibilities in one direction, then there are an infinite and equal number of possibilities in the opposite direction. To place this in another perspective, I implore you to watch the ending of the original ‘Men in Black’ movie.

In a lateral, physical context, Inner Planetary Travel © is an allegorical reference to the inner workings of the human anatomy which unto itself comprises a universe – a seemingly infinite microcosm of organic matter teeming with life yet unseen by the human eye. The same applies to all other forms of life on earth.

As a self-proclaimed nonconformist, I am not naturally inclined to adopt and adhere to the theories as purported by mere mortals who preceded my date of existence. I am a firm believer in finding one’s purpose, discovering one’s innate gifts, nurturing one’s God-given talents, and exploring and exploiting one’s untapped potential, even if at the sake of unknowingly self-discovering a concept that man already attached a title to; own it; that is your self-discovery, and no one else’s.

I have read about astral projection and out-of-body experience (OBE), however those concepts, as theorized by its creator(s), are not mine own. On becoming a mature adult, I live life according to my own knowledge and experiences defined by my own parameters as dictated by God’s grace.

Anyone who chooses to indulge in Inner Planetary Travel © and traverse the inner depths of their God-given consciousness (the highest form of intelligence), if and only if he or she is privileged to be bestowed with such, will unequivocally arrive at a higher understanding of the first two chapters in the ‘First Book of Moses’ called ‘Genesis.’

Based on God’s “7 Days of Creation,” The Divine Hierarchy of Life © or The Divine Pyramid of Life © or God’s Design © refers to the seven levels or categories of existence that encompass all life as created by God:

  1. Light - Day, Night

  2. Firmament – Heaven, Waters

  3. Earths and Seas – Flora (grass, herbs, trees)

  4. Sun, Moon, Stars

  5. Fauna – Air (birds), Sea (fish, water-borne mammals)

  6. Fauna – Land (animals)

  7. Man (Hu-Man) – Man (male), Woman (female)

Though true, the ‘Big Bang Theory,’ is not as soulless, Godless men pretend; it encompasses the initial great eruption of energy, when God said “let there be light” Genesis 1:3 (KJV), that preceded the origins of life as we know it. I implore you to disregard any astrophysicists and other like atheists who apparently were present at the dawn of creation. We walk by faith, not by sight. Seek the truth with a contrite mind, heart and spirit, and it shall be revealed to you. But I digress.

As the pyramid illustrates in ascending order, each level is inherently dependent on the succeeding to sustain its existence. Essentially:

  • The Earth and Seas cannot exist without Light.

  • Flora cannot exist without Light, and Earth and Seas.

  • Fauna cannot exist without Light, Earth and Seas, and Flora.

  • Man can exist without Light, Earth and Seas, Flora, and Fauna.

If you subtract humans from the equation, all other life flourishes. If you subtract all other life from the equation, humans become extinct. There, I say that humans are not at the top of the food chain. So, if someone refers to you as an animal, take it as a compliment; he or she is merely bestowing you with a higher plane of existence.

Even though God bestowed man with the cognitive capacity for divine wisdom, man has not always been obedient in utilising that intelligence as planned. Man was given one simple charge - to be guardian of the waters, flora, fauna, and terra firma. This speaks to “dominion” as referred to in Genesis 2:28 (KJV). Dominion does not allude to some inalienable right to dominate and destroy God’s design. Dominion is an inherent responsibility bestowed on man to uphold, protect and preserve the continuity of life on earth transcending the generations of man.

And at that one task… we have failed miserably. In lieu of God’s grace, humans have enjoyed a parasitic relationship with nature (God’s design) en route to becoming a significant threat to its very existence – deforestation, overfishing, pollution, overpopulation, war, etc.

Yes, the call for positive, progressive change to offset the negative human impact solicits an immediate and collectively-conscious response to maintain The Divine Hierarchy of Life ©. Which brings me to the ‘Theory of Natural Selection.’

The true ‘Theory of Natural Selection,’ as it applies to man, proposes that select human beings are endowed with certain innate gifts—mental, physical and/or spiritual—whereby the strong seek the empowerment and welfare of the weak. The notion that the strong conquers the weak is a fallacy contrived by amoral subhuman beings, who in the absence of divine consciousness, are mentally, emotionally and spiritually deficient in any capacity conducive with the highest ideals of God-given intelligence.

We are all here to learn, grow and contribute. What is your contribution to effect positive, progressive change to preserve life for the preceding generations?
