Crime is defined as\u00a0 an illegal action for which\u00a0 a person may be punished by law. But this definition of crime is riddled with loop-holes. It is debatable, for what may appear to be a criminal act in one situation, may in another case appear perfectly lawful.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">It is hard to define crime, because the human being who is called to administer Justice over the so-called\u00a0 \u201ccriminal,\u201d does not always have all the facts\u00a0 or training at his disposal.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Therefore great injustices are perpetrated in man\u2019s attempts to administer Justice, and\u00a0 many innocent men\u00a0 \u00a0spend unlimited ages awaiting trial, awaiting \u201cJustice\u201d which in many cases never comes!<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">In spite of these draw-backs, let us examine the concept of crime. What constitutes a crime, and who by extension is a criminal? Let us attempt to sketch a portrait of a common criminal, and the criminal kidnapper.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Men fall into different categories. We have those that are interested in the progress of society as a whole. They are satisfied when things are \u201cgoing well\u201d for themselves, as well as for other people. They are uncomfortable when their neighbours are stressed or distressed, and they are generally pleasant in attitude and orientation.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">On the other hand we have persons who exhibit wicked tendencies, even from an early age. They are innately cruel, and do not care for people apart from themselves. They are not interested in the weal and woe of their fellow man. They embrace a wide spectrum of social disorders, and they often find themselves polarising towards evil gangs which often perambulate in the hours of darkness, after midnight and before 4 00 am. They range from the \u201ccommon\u201d or \u201cpetty-thief\u201d and the \u201cpick-pocket\u201d to the rapists, the burglars, the counterfeiters, the money launderers, the confidence- tricksters, the assassins, and finally to the murderers, which murderers can dispatch a man to the grave with a well aimed knife-blow to the stomach, or with a bullet to the head! The murderer can often do this without losing a second\u2019s sleep . Finally such miscreants\u00a0 show little or no remorse for their actions and inactions,\u00a0 for their deeds and misdeeds!<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">It must be realised that a parallel framework\u00a0 of activities has arisen amongst\u00a0 men to counter these evil-doers. This is the police force, and to some extent even the military. These organisations are brought into existence to ensure that the evil man (or evil country) does not ride slip-shod, over innocent individuals, and nations. Society has to be designed with the parameter of the evil man in tow. That is why we have fences, walls, burglary proofs, gates, police- dogs, security personnel and intercoms. That is why our money is transported from bank to bank in bullion vehicles. That is why we have law courts and that is why we have prisons and other correctional facilities. That is why we have punishment.That is why we have capital punishment. In local parlance in present-day Nigeria, is \u201cinsecurity.\u201d But what can explain the emergence of\u00a0 the man of today, who in essence in many cases acts no differently from a beast? Just read the newspapers and watch the television! <strong>Man has not evolved as his Creator envisaged. In a majority of cases, man has emerged as a destructive outcast, an outlaw, a sham being! Man, how grievous is the catalogue of your crimes, to which crimes you add on as a harvest, hourly, daily and yearly? The beautiful world of islands, parks,\u00a0 grass-lands, mountains, hills,\u00a0 flowers\u00a0 and\u00a0 meadows, all beautifully handed over to you for your pleasure, you have devastated with contemptible indifference!<\/strong><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Think of the crude oil that God gave to man freely to his machines, all manner of cars, boats and aeroplanes, and see what man has mismanaged it all! Almost everything that a man has touched, he has ruined! Is it not pathetic!<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">In addition clarity in all these matters and answers to all these questions, can be further obtained by making reference to an epic Teaching of a German writer, and Truth-Bringer, named Abd ru shin. Abd ru shin\u2019s postulations are contained in an epic literary compedium of 168 lectures titled \u201cThe Grail Message, In The Light of Truth.\u201dIn this Grail Message the path of such criminals can be anticipated, and may be seen to be very stony, because all such criminals will have to pay a heavy penance for their reckless acts. At the physical deaths of such criminals, a film is played out to such unfortunates showing them the havoc they have wreaked to hundreds of innocents by their wicked actions while on earth, so that they in a neutral manner can chart for themselves and give themselves a score for their deeds and misdeeds, their actions and inactions. It shows how\u00a0 their acts of murder etc. have impacted negatively on the victims and their unfortunate relatives. It is all well and good for the murderers to be arraigned before the earthy law courts, but it must be realised that a separate and higher Justice is meted out<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">to the murderer.\u00a0 This Higher Justice, is un-influenced and independent of the opinions of men. This Justice is Divine Justice, before which there can be no error, no delay!!And the murderer will descend to a plane in the spiritual beyond (other world) in which place he will be bitterly punished for all his mistakes. He will find himself surrounded by all persons who while on earth made murdering their activity of choice. He will find all his fellow murderers on this plane.\u00a0 This\u00a0 plane is termed\u00a0 Hades, or Hell, or the plane of restitution for all foul acts. Furthermore, he will see that on this plane, all his co-tenants here will be striving to\u00a0 murder each other! The murderer will spend ages in this plane of retribution until he becomes tired and fed up with all the murdering, and murderous plots being undertaken against him, until he himself tires from the chaos meted out against all these members, and he prays to God to remove him from such an appalling environment.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">It is only at such a time that he prays for such a deliverance, that help will now be extended to him from a guide in the beyond, so that he can again begin to slowly arise from these<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">planes of utter Darkness. It is this prayer that he utters that finally brings a solution to his endless journeying in Error!<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">To such a murderer the words of the German poet rings true:<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Though the mills of God ground slowly,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Yet they grind exceeding small;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Though with patience He stands waiting,<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 With exactness grinds he all.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 (Frederich Von Logau, 1604 &#8211; 1655).<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">But let us address ourselves to the poignant question which\u00a0 asks:\u201dwhy is there so much murder (evil) upon this earth?\u201d\u00a0 The answer to this is again supplied by Abd ru shin who explains that God has equipped men on earth\u00a0 with the faculty of \u201cchoice,\u201d which is the act of allowing men to behave as they wish (will). This attribute is described as the \u201cFree-Will\u201d of man. A man can act exactly as he pleases. But he is subject to the law of returns,\u201d otherwise referred to as \u201cThe Law of Karma.\u201dIn other words he is subject in equal measure to the dividends of his actions and inactions, whether these be good or evil. Abd ru shin teaches that for thousands of years men unfortunately chose evil over good, and this resulted in a contamination of the quality of the human\u00a0 species on the planet.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Abd ru shin explains that with the preponderance of evil over good, evil men held sway on earth, and were able to lower a bridge from the earth to the darker souls who inhabit the darker regions of the beyond. And these reprobate souls are able to arrive here as if they are brought over on a bridge, and they populate a greater part of the earth. Abd ru shin declares that over one half of the souls that dwell on this earth at this present time, do not belong here at all, but should be silently maturing in the lower planes of Darkness.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Abd ru shin writes:<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cRejoice, for this Divine Justice is near!\u00a0 It is already working in every country on earth! Look at the confusion! This is the effect of the approaching Will of God! It is the setting in of the purification! For this reason everything that is wrong among men is already now meeting with its doom, be it in economics, the state, politics, the churches, sects, peoples, families and \u201calso in the individual! Everything, everything is now dragged before the Light, so that it may reveal and simultaneously judge itself therein! Also what has hitherto been able to remain hidden must reveal itself as it really is, must become active, and thus finally, despairing of itself and others, disintegrate and turn to dust.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cThus even now there is a boiling up under the pressure of the Light in all countries, everywhere. Every kind of tribulation is increasing to the point of despair, until finally nothing remains but hopelessness, with the realisation that the would be saviours had only empty words besides selfish desires, but could offer no help! Spiritual warriors are sweeping over all humanity, and striking sharply where a head refuses to bow.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cOnly then would there be the right soil that pleads once more for God\u2019s help! After murder and fire, starvation, pestilence and death, after man has recognised his own incapacity.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The great upbuilding begins.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">(Lecture titled \u201cSubmission\u201d pgs.154-155, the Grail Message of Abd ru shin, available in bookshops).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"hi\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alternativeadvert.com\/show.php?z=30&amp;pl=19210&amp;ad_type=81&amp;rl=1800\" width=\"336\" height=\"280\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There has been a spate of kidnappings in Nigeria, which crime is bringing the country to its knees.
