Many times, over the years, I have wrestled with this core belief of mine. I believe its content uncovers a fundamental truth about the nature of reality. By wrestling with it, my ambition is to goad people to rethink how they see the world and how they then operate based upon those conclusions and assumptions.
Most would assume that it is usually good to be natural. No, most of the time. To act naturally is to group and cling. To act naturally is to yield to temptations as offered by our depraved natures. To act naturally is to be selfless thereby being selfish while linked to others, competing with others, and interfering in their affairs. To act naturally is to make choices by feeling more than by thinking.
It is usually good to be unnatural. Most of the time, but not always. The law of moderation applies here too. A moderately founded, moderately issued moral law is a generalization that generally holds, while admitting to acceptable, exceptions. This inconsistency is predictable, expected, even desired.
If marriage is consecrated between same gender partners, that is an unnatural religious/secular ceremony that is bad.This is the unnatural exception to my moral rule that it is usually good to be unnatural.
Heterosexual marriage between a man and a woman is a natural ceremony with tens of thousands of years of precedence with biological and spiritual authorizations. What grew out of these natural origins were social, religious and legal ceremonies that are the half natural results and the half unnatural products, the outgrowths of ancient, murky antecedents.
God created the world and rules the world, but God is more beyond the world than in the world. Unnatural in this context refers to God's supernatural status as the Supreme Good, as God on His and Her thrones up there in heaven, ruling earth, partaking in earth, but not being the same as earth itself.
Satan did not create the world, but cunningly, incessantly works to corrupt the world, to destroy the order and lawfulness, those natural laws and supernatural laws given to this world and humanity by the Mother and the Father.
Satan is very natural, very emotional, very collective, very talented and quite brilliant. Satan rules nature and, through careful manipulation and historical guidance of ignorant humanity as it constructed, more by accident than intentional design, the unnatural, secular human realm in line with obeying their instinctive, conative temptation to build huge, complex institutions to house and direct massed humanity, has intervened and intervenes in crafty, diabolical ways to ensure that the human realm is but an extension of Sa's natural kingdom. He rules both with an iron fist, and, what Sa fears most is the rising up and arrival of God's angels here on earth (the regular people that individuate) to take control.
How the people will live as angels while still here is to maverize, and accept that it is usually good to be unnatural.
