INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL MISSION
STATEMENT OF INTEGRATIONAL SPIRITAN MOVEMENT abbreviated thus: (i S M) OR ETERNAL MANIFESTO OF I S M AS DICTATED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT OF THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE to a chosen vessel over a period three decades, from 1963 - 2003
This is our position at I. S. M. Truth is bitter, but so is any medicine taken to recover from any debilitating disease. The world today needs an overdose of truth to recover from religious fanaticism, social prejudice and the various forms of idolatry existing today in human relationships! God is the Infinite truth and is definitely stronger than the sun, wine, emperor and women! So should all that worship him!
I. S. M is the medicine that our generation desperately needs to sanitise the landscape of personality cults that today parade as religions! Take out time, days, weeks or even years to evaluate every sentence you have read. JOIN US IN THIS ONEROUS DUTY!
We are seeking for original thinkers who can identify the truth whenever they see one. The world is tired of mystics and fanatics. It is time to put an end to so many ethnocentric theories, mythologies or legends dressed up as dogmas and doctrines.
THE HOLY SPIRIT DIVINELY INSPIRED THIS INTERNATIONAL MANIFESTO OF INTEGRATIONAL SPIRITAN MOVEMENT FOR ALL MANKIND
1. Daily we interact with our parents, siblings, immediate relatives and neighbours in our small circles of physical habitations. When we travel outside our ethnic and national boundaries, we run into different personalities we love to hate or vice versa, who consciously or unconsciously influence our lives positively or negatively. Have you ever sat down and taken stock of what you have become over the last ten years?
2. Many people you see, meet with and/or socialise with are mere conformists. They are those personalities that are satisfied with ‘going through the motions’; doing what everyone else is doing to make a living and waiting for the final ‘call to glory’ as they brand death! Many of us are born and live an inconsequential life; bland, uneventful and without anything particular to be remembered for after our exit from this mundane world, a temporal habitation for the soul.
3. There are some others, whose lives and contributions to the society made a difference! They changed the ‘status quo’ by either extending the frontiers of knowledge or developing their immediate communities. They improved the understanding of human nature and taught others the values of humanitarianism. These heroes and heroines touched the lives of many intellectually and socially which elevated brotherhood of mankind both inter-racially and internationally.
4. These agents of change were the true sons and daughters of the Almighty Creator of the universe. They added colour to daily routines and the doldrums of routine existence on planet earth! A few had tall dreams and went ahead to transform them into reality despite all odds. This group devised methods of changing the deplorable situations and the deprived circumstances of the lifestyle they met on becoming adults. Some adolescents dream of the courage to better their social status, but often take off on the wrong foot of seeking for titles, money, fame and crowning it all with indulging in romantic relationships.
5. Others dared to pursue the unknown, to break new grounds and blaze trails for followers to tread on. Their zeal, inquisitiveness, passion, persistence, desire, motivations and prayers were fully rewarded if they paid the prize for success; optimism, dedication and the refusal to quit. Their philosophy of life was ‘When the task gets tough, the tough get it going!’, ‘Never say, never again!’ or ‘All that it takes to make the ‘impossible’ possible is the will power to remove the ‘im’ in front of that ‘impossible’! They eventually became geniuses, inventors, explorers, leaders or discoverers! They evolved into the innovators and pioneers who helped to enlarge the frontiers of human civilisations and removed the age-old boundaries of the unknown. They were the catalysts of the world!
6. Historians inform us that Christopher Columbus actually set out to discover another route to India when he stumbled at the new America and thus opened up humanity to a large continent partitioned into northern and southern halves but naturally connected by a strip of islands. Today, the Panama Canal has made it possible to access the Eastern Regions of the world while travelling continuously to the west! Inventors, Discoverers and occasionally, Religious Leaders emerge from obscure communities of despised nations to beam supernatural light and the Divine Wisdom of the Creator! Joining this select group of animators, innovators or league of achievers is usually not by accident or by mere wishful thinking.
7. Beyond the routine duties of satisfying the five senses of the body lies the desire to excel in unexplored areas of human existence and the freedom to choose a divergent track that levies hard work is a divine factor that must be recognised, respected and appropriated in unveiling the unknown that the Divine Architect had hidden there for ages waiting for a brave soul to convert it from obscure dormancy to utilitarian vibrancy. This author, a global agent of spiritual evolution, Dr J. J. Kenez wants to know where you belong in this universal continuum of innovators. Or, are you waiting for ‘manna from heaven’?
8. Those who place priority on breaking new grounds and earnestly search for better alternatives will eventually discover something unique. Those who ask penetrating questions may one day obtain answers from above rather than the routine human palliatives that rarely satisfy the saintly soul. Those who ardently knock on the doors of heavenly wisdom, sooner than later gain divine inspirations from the Holy Spirit of the Original Architect and Ultimate Engineer of the earth we inhabit! He alone has all the answers to all physical, social, mental, spiritual and the personal and socio-political problems of our mundane world, if only we humble ourselves and honestly ask for his wisdom and guidance. But, do we?
9. The Creator has hidden so much from our intellectual faculties that to date we are still unravelling those He is allowing humanity to glimpse at through divine dreams, intuitions, inspirations and revelations to devout souls! Do you want to have supernatural knowledge mediated by spiritual faculties of seeing, feeling, sensing and caring for others? Look inwards, for the kingdom of God is inside you, not outside as many prosperity preachers erroneously tell you. No one ever got eternal bliss by keeping the commandments of men. It is given to altruistic seekers of that Divine Guidance in the affairs of mankind, which many yearn for but do not know where, when and how to find it. Search for it in this book!
10. The creator gave humans some of his powers and knowledge for recreating the material universe for the mutual benefits of all his created beings. The obverse is the case! Today, many use his gifts to perpetrate evil. Either by design or demonic manipulation, ingrates abound everywhere and dominate the scene. The first datum that every living thing recognises is that someone put it here and caters for its welfare. Dogs respect and fight in defence of their owners. Every pet realises that it is loved and taken care of by someone who has value for its existence. It is only human beings, who pride themselves of being rational beings that do not recognise, respect or realise that all of us have a single owner, a caretaker and benevolent father/mother. Meditate over this assertion for a minute and provide me an answer. It is absurd! Isn’t it? It is unintelligent. It is unlike what a rational being can do. Yet, that is only a tip of the iceberg of irreverent religiosity in our global village.
11. Some learned fools insist that everything came by chance and hold on to the theory of evolution! Despite knowing that the common wristwatch could never have arrived by blind chance and that computers and the Internet had inventors, this brand of demented humans refuse to see and acknowledge the great artistry and creative ingenuity in what they indulge in on a daily basis to survive till the next morning! Some believe there is an Almighty Creator who provides for each creature on a daily basis, some assert that he has turned his back on us due to our congenital wickedness and cruel ways, while others simply deny his existence!
12. This is my summation of the problem; “Religion was/is a superstitious search by humanity for its origin, existence, meaning and relevance before the scientific era. The search was led by acclaimed sages among the elders of a community who defined its theories and practices. It is later ratified and recommended for legislation and implementation by state apparatus by convincing stratagem or coercion by politico-religious leaders. Thereafter, it is fine tuned and administered by ordained priests and priestesses who hand it down along ancestral lineages from one generation of lukewarm adherents, fanatics and mystics to another. Gradually, strong personalities emerge claiming divine appointment and so pull strong followers who idolise them as role models with supernatural powers. This obsession confirms them as beacons of adulation and finally leads to clannish hero-worship or full scale idolatry.
13. Therefore, my studied summation stands until it is disproved, I stoically assert that Religion, which is superstition sanctioned by the state, is actually an addiction to man-made doctrines and dogmas invented, patented and copyrighted by a few demagogues.
• It enslaves the mind more than psychoactive drugs,
• Benumbs human creativity and resourcefulness thereby
• Restricting the development of the human potential and capital.
It is the main cause of poverty of the mind and underdevelopment of third world countries as its side-effects are indolence, redundancy, laziness and dependence on finished products and services. In the final analysis, it is the predisposing factor to lack of initiative, debilitating ignorance, fetish belief-systems, abject poverty and perennial ill-health.
14. Perhaps its only advantage is that it makes the polity docile and amenable to the whims and caprices of their oppressive leaders. Often, it hoodwinks its adherents into believing that ‘The God’ or ‘the gods’ they worship speak to them through the voices of their egocentric clerics who therefore can conveniently exploit them to satisfy their demonic desires of sensual pleasure and inordinate ambitions of amassing wealth. Their wanton indulgence in gluttony, wine and women is seen in every action and definitely this is the foolproof evidence of their demonic genealogy.
15. To rescue humanity from the demonic stranglehold of idolatry that now predominates worldwide, you are invited to reason along with us and see that we provide an everlasting cure for sensual lust for food, wine, sex, wealth and power that are the trademarks of a society heading for damnation! Are you going to sit on the fence and wait for another failed experiment in messiahship that was riddled with myopic and ethnocentric bias? Who knows the Creator well enough to declare that he has ‘a chosen people’? Or, that he had only one son? If mere mortals can have seven sons or more from one woman, who limited him to one? Who is the father of all the other men who had been sent earlier on?
16. Where is the evidence that Moses actually led the so-called people out of any oppressive regime? The history books and modern encyclopaedia did not record the enslavement of the Jewish race except as ‘they were believed as revealed truths’. Then Moses, who was brought up in an Egyptian royal court went on to introduce the first and most heinous dichotomy in racism; JEWS and GENTILES! The negative impact of that first categorisation of humanity gave birth to all the nepotic, apartheid and racist policies in the entire world. Could a universal saviour utter; "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs." Matt 15:26-27, NKJV.
17. There is a plethora of ancient and modern major world religions. In each, there are factions, sects and denominations. It is syncretism galore! The name of the game is “join our own, ours is the one prospering for now!” It is a religious market!! It is a mad world!!! Many nationals all over the globe are smarting under the colonial yoke of Roman Catholicism or Islamism. The intriguing aspect of this brand of neo-colonialism is that it brews dogmas and doctrines that propel fanatical members to kill or be killed in the name of ‘God’. Religious fanaticism or mysticism is a religio-psychiatric personality disorder that has never been classified by any DSM and so has really never been diagnosed and managed as other psychopathological conditions that present in health services all over the world!
18. The Almighty Creator or Ultimate Controller of the Universe has no name! One can only give names to what one completely owns and has power over their existence; life or death! In my community, we only use his divine attributes to address him in speech and supplication. This is how it ought to be. Those using the term “God” have never spelt it backwards! Do so now! Do you now realise that the terminology is not only demonic but derogatory and insane. Stop using it!
19. Human knowledge wears blinkers. At other times, it wears coloured sun glasses and so we see only the colorinations presented as truth. Truth does not wear any make-up. Our knowledge of things is definitely incomplete! Religious symbols have been borrowed across cultures and religious boundaries for centuries that they rarely mean same things to a variety of fanatical followers or worshippers of the plethora of religions and denominations in our present world. How do we penetrate centuries of historical distortions of the originals to define the pristine truths from nature and established by our Creator so that we can arrive at the most objective version that is egalitarian, humane and applicable in all cultures, time and clime for world peace? It is our ignorance and outright incompetence about the nature of divine beings and the true nature of independence among finite beings that generate religious bigotry and world wars!
20. The fallacy of HUMAN CONCEPTS OF THE ULTIMATE CREATOR AND WHAT HE DEMANDS OF ALL OF US is similar to the verdicts of the four blind men who went on an excursion to know what the elephant looked like. But in our case in religious buffoonery, it is not the personal verdicts of the first set of the blind men that we hold on to; that unfortunately is the tragedy of current day Religionists and the breeding ground for puerile bigotry, fanaticism, doctrines, dogmas, crusades and jihads. It is futile to not only believe the verdicts of the earliest FOUR BLIND MEN who were actually wrong but psychotically paranoid to swallow the bastardised versions handed down by degenerate grandsons of those cowardly and shameless blind men who never made the trip at all!
21. So many blind religious leaders do not even set out to make the trip! Rather, they are satisfied by propagating what other blind men heard from the original four blind men that really touched the elephant. So it is that a thousand interpretations of what the wise explorers concluded is now bandied about what the original elephant looked and still looks like. The Elephant in his majesty refuses to say a word! Why, you may ask! It is unnecessary; for the glory, majesty and truths about the true worship of Our Almighty Creator abound in Nature and the Sane Human Beings observe them on a daily and hourly basis 365 days every year! Only the blind do not want to see the Natural and Eternal Laws he engraved into each macrocosm and microcosm He has made and given to all His Creations to share. We are equal heirs to His Infinite Love!
22. Every individual nature is part of the cosmos. To live virtuously means to live in accord with one's nature, to live according to the natural and eternal laws the designer of the universe intended by employing truth and right reason in all we do. Because passion and emotion are considered irrational movements of the soul, the wise individual seeks to eradicate the passions and consciously embrace the rational life.
23. “True law is right reason in agreement with Nature; it is of universal application, unchanging and everlasting; it summons to duty by its commands and averts from wrongdoing by its prohibitions. . . . There will not be different laws at different countries or communities, or different laws now and in the future, BUT ONE ETERNAL AND UNCHANGEABLE LAW WILL BE VALID FOR ALL NATIONS AND FOR ALL TIMES.”
24. The laws governing all living things; birth, growth, respiration, movement, nutrition, excretion, reproduction and finally death hold sway in every place on planet earth under normal temperature and pressure. Humans have the same anatomy and physiology despite our differing languages, child-rearing practices, skin colour, racial differences and social statuses. We are the offspring of the Almighty Creator of the macrocosms and microcosms we share. Our survival in our variety of physical environment follows the same laws. No man is an island. We need each other!
25. Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez also contends that natural laws are sacrosanct for they were made by the Almighty Architect and Engineer who created every being on planet; EARTH. They are divine and eternal; because they are universal and are no respecters of places and times of birth, parentage, race, educational level or religion! There are so many self-evident examples; the movement of the sun and moon regulate the hours of day, night, weeks, months and years; so also do gravity, temperature, pressure, emotion, motivation, conception, pregnancy, labour and birth regulate family life. If anyone disagrees, let him provide evidence to the contrary.
26. The founders of HAPPY FAMILY NETWORK, INTEGRATIONAL SPIRITAN MOVEMENT AND FINALLY FAMILY LIFE COLLEGE, therefore, posit that human slavery, in whatever form it is used to deny any Homo sapiens and others their fundamental human rights, was/is and will forever remain illegal! Caste systems must be abrogated both in civil and religious circles all over the world to arrive at;
• ONE ALMIGHTY CREATOR, ONE CREATED UNIVERSE, ONE HUMAN FAMILY, ONE GLOBAL FAITH and ONE MODE OF WORSHIP; which is our creed
• SERVICE TO HUMANITY INTERNATIONALLY; is the lifestyle of all bona-fide members,
• LOYALTY TO THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH; in every thought, word or deed is our international social ethics &
• OBEDIENCE TO ALL THE NATURAL & ETERNAL LAWS OF THE CREATOR; is our gospel worldwide.
If you want to be a foundation member of the board of directors for this all-inclusive humanitarian FAMILY LIFE COLLEGE send us a proposal of what you can contribute and attach a brief CV, your contact addresses and a current passport sized photo of yourself.
27. Once you can pool your resources and co-ordinate a hundred like-minds who are rational thinkers in your community either by Face book networking or any other ingenious methodology, contact us for inauguration. We do not care whether you ‘believe in God or gods’! The Creator has never had, has and will never have a name by any language or be labelled by his creatures! Those who use ‘God or god’ have never spelt it backwards to see its demonic origin! The only qualification you need is that you are a sane human being who is naturally objective, is ready to respect the opinions of others and is prepared to disabuse the mind of all previous indoctrinations that you had been forced to swallow hook, line and sinker since childhood.
28. How can we be certain that the doctrines and dogmas we hold on to today were/are not merely fake theories from the past? In short, how do we sift truth from human beliefs, myths, legends and/or fables forged and fabricated by sages of old or demagogues whose objectives were merely manipulating the masses of their generation into reverencing and/or obeying them sheepishly? This is the task before all of us. It is the only way to arrive at ONE WORLD RELIGION. That is Integrational Spiritan Movement, led by the Holy Spirit of the Genuine Creator we all ought to worship, a.k.a Kenezianism. If you care to join us in a sanitation exercise that will guarantee a better future for your children, then come, read, observe, witness and finally analyse the development of religion from time immemorial to evaluate its subjugation to man-made doctrines, dogmas and modes of worship that are irreligious! Thereafter, we can seek for solutions as proposed by the computer-age integrational fellowship; INTEGRATIONAL SPIRITAN MOVEMENT, abbreviated thus: I S M.
29. This medical scientist, pragmatic researcher and existential therapist, is proposing that we scrutinise all the religious and ethnocentric prejudices that had enslaved many children right from birth, who were born into their parents religio-cultural practices and were never given the freedom to search for objective methods of relating to their maker and other humans, can you join us to make this feasible?
Yours Chief Servant and the Humble Vessel of the Holy Spirit
--- Dr J. K. Danmbaezue (Revealed from March 11th 1991 - 2011)
THIS IS BASICALLY A PRECIS ON INTEGRATIONAL SPIRITAN MOVEMENT AND HOW A LASTING WORLD PEACE CAN BE ACHIEVED FOR THE WARRING RELIGIOUS FACTIONS IN OUR CONFUSED GLOBAL VILLAGE
A PRECIS ON INTEGRATIONAL SPIRITAN MOVEMENT THAT IS BILLED TO ENTHRONE TRUE GLOBAL PEACE IN OUR GLOBAL VILLAGE
THE SECRET OF ENOCH WAS THAT HE HAD NO IDOLS.
He did not worship these idols: self-pride, love-of-money, indulgence-in-erotic-pleasures, lust-for-power, food & alcoholism. Rather, he obeyed all the natural laws he could decipher and was loyal to the Creator of his parents. He loved his fellow human beings, took care of them and showed his concern for them. A simple and uncomplicated life on this planet Earth will merit you the same reward HE got! Imitate him in thoughts, words and deeds.
That is exactly I. S. M! says Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez, D.Sc.
WHY YOU NEED TO BE A MEMBER IS SIMPLE
From the Book of Wisdom, credited to King Solomon, the Wise, comes this interesting example of a man who was neither a Jew nor a Gentile, neither a Christian nor a Pagan. He was equally neither a Muslim nor an Infidel, neither a Buddhist nor a Hindu, yet he was the first ‘saint’ that was called physically into heaven to be with Almighty God eternally. Turn to its Chapter 4, and meditate on verses 10–15:
“v.10: Once there was a man named Enoch who pleased God and God loved him. While Enoch was still living among sinners, God took him away,
v.11: so that evil and falsehood could not corrupt his mind and soul.
v.12: (We all know that people can be fascinated by evil that they cannot recognise what is good even when they are looking at it. Innocent people can be so corrupted with desire that they can think of nothing but what they want.)
v.13: This man Enoch achieved in a few years’ time a perfection that other people could never attain in a complete lifetime.
v.14: The Lord was pleased with Enoch’s life and quickly took him out of this wicked world. People were aware of his departure but didn’t understand. They never seemed to learn the lesson
v.15: that God is kind and merciful to his own people; he protects those whom he has chosen.”
This narrative is a corroboration of what you find in Genesis 5, vv.21 – 24. Again in the Book of Sirach; Chapter 44, verse 16 makes a brief reference to it. Read them now before evaluating my resume. Those narratives are instructive and it might be very beneficial for you spending some time analysing their import. The following are my humble conclusions after perusing them.
1. Enoch was an illiterate man. He obeyed the natural laws God put in his mind and the environment. Yet he was not corrupt like those around him who were described as ‘sinners’.
2. No one taught Enoch these natural laws that merited favour with the Almighty Creator of the whole universe even at the ripe age 365 years! Therefore the knowledge is in-born in humans!
3. Enoch who gave birth to Methuselah, a legend that lived 969 years, was neither a priest nor a prophet, yet he was pleasing to God! So could you and I!
SO IT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO PLEASE ALMIGHTY GOD WITHOUT BELONGING TO THE WARRING RELIGIONS OF TODAY. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT ISM IS ALL ABOUT. YOU TOO, CAN REALLY PLEASE GOD WITHOUT BEING DEEPLY INVOLVED WITH THE MUNDANE RELIGIOUS POLITICS OF THIS AGE OF FANATICISM OR SYNCRETISM.
In I.S.M, a spiritual fellowship for natural scientists, we neither preach doctrines nor dogmas or the traditions of any ethnic group regarding the worship of the Almighty Creator who made all that is and us as his children!
Rather each one of us as rational beings has to think independently on matters of spirituality and so as a true disciple of Patriarch Enoch is encouraged to search for the laws in nature and our hearts so as to contribute genuine and rational bases for the altruistic unification of all psycho-religious and socio-political ideologies in existence today! This is possible when only reason; not emotion guides our search! Do you want to be a wise and respected Kenezian? Then think for yourself and learn from the wisest men in history!
One such figure is King Solomon, the Wise, who is credited to have got it merely as an answer to a humble prayer! Imitate him! And to really appreciate the depth of King Solomon’s wisdom, let me equally introduce you to the wise assertions he made regarding death and the reward of living a righteous life like our great Patriarch Enoch. No one else has so authoritatively spoken of them! Turn to Chapter One of the same book “The Wisdom of Solomon” and read verses 12–16, and conclude with “The Destiny of the Righteous” in Chapter 3, verses 1–9:
“ GOD DID NOT CREATE DEATH”
v.12: Do not bring on your own death by sinful actions.
v.13: God did not invent death, and when living creatures die, it gives him no pleasure.
v.14: He created everything so that it might continue to exist, and everything he created is wholesome and good. There is no deadly poison in it. No, death does not rule this world,
v.15: for God’s justice does not die,
v.16: Ungodly people have brought death on themselves by the things they have said and done. They yearn for death as if it were a lover. They have gone into partnership with death, and; it is just what they deserve”.
And now to complete the seven course meal I have been serving you right from the prologue to this page, see the Destiny of the Righteous, the Eternal Wisdom of living a simple lifestyle and Reward for pleasing the Almighty! This is the target for all devout Kenezians.
“THE DESTINY OF THE RIGHTEOUS
v.1: But righteous people are protected by God and will never suffer torment.
v.2: It is a foolish mistake to think that righteous people die and that their death is a terrible evil.
v.3: They leave us, but it is not a disaster. In fact, the righteous are at peace.
v.4: It might appear that they have suffered punishment, but they have the confident hope of immortality.
vv.5-6; Their sufferings were light compared with the blessings they will receive. God has tested them, like gold in a furnace, and found tem worthy to be with him. He has accepted them, just as he accepts the sacrifices, which his worshippers burn on the altar.
v.7: When God comes to reward the righteous, they will blaze out against the wicked lie fire in dry straw.
v.8: They will rule over nations and peoples, and the Lord will be their King for ever.
v.9: Those who have put their trust in God will come to understand the truth of his ways. Those who have been faithful will live with Him in his love, for he is kind and merciful to the ones whom he has chosen.”
IF YOU REPLACED THE WORD ‘RIGHTEOUS’ WITH ‘KENEZIANS’; YOU WOULD PRECISELY HAVE ESTABLISHED THE REAL MISSION OF I . S. M.
And so, my dear student of ISM, you too can aspire to sainthood! All it entails is finding out the natural laws that Papa Enoch obeyed that merited him that eternal abode with the Creator of this universe.
You do not have to go far to find out any of these natural laws! Do you know why? There are already written in your hearts as the inborn CONSCIENCE, which the Almighty Creator bestows on each and every one of us. See it for yourself, by reading Hebrews 8: 7 –13: Take special note of vv.10 –12 when you’re reading that passage! You have to find this reference for yourself, so that we can go on to serve you the main dish!
I am sure that there are other theosophical treatises that equate the writings of King Solomon and the Good News of the Master of all times, Jesus the Christ. However these are the ones I was so exposed to in my youth that I can’t think of anyone else that has given me the simplest reasons for living a good life! You may have your favourites, just like I do. Go ahead, but remember that the bottom line in ISM is OBEDIENCE TO NATURAL LAWS.
So long as you can religiously decipher and observe all the equitable, positive and universal laws in nature, you are truly qualified for this spiritual fellowship for scientists who are also referred to as “The Kenezians”
Our mission statement is aptly summarised by Apostle James in his epistle: James 3: vv. 13-18! Find it and read it for yourself. Spoon-feeding causes indigestion!
NOW, HERE ARE THE PILLARS ON WHICH ISM RESTS
• PILLAR ONE IS THE KENEZIAN CREED
International Worship of the Almighty Creator of the Entire Universe by All Rational Human Beings
1. I am old enough to know my natural father and mother besides recognising the biological roles they played in my physical manifestation on this plane of existence. They were definitely instrumental in my earliest survival and reared me as best as they could. Now; I am I, you are you, we are us; therefore I affirm that I exist!
2. I am aware that I had a beginning as a living corporeal being and will naturally come to an end as other animate beings I have observed do come to a definitive end. I need food, water, air and sleep to survive as an individual entity and love, education and social interactions to grow, develop and mature properly in a human community, therefore I accept that all finite beings like myself are governed by certain Natural Laws.
3. The macrocosms that I observe; the sun, the moon, mountains, canyons, rivers, oceans, and seas obey these natural laws daily as well as whales, elephants, rhinoceros, hippopotamuses, giraffes, ostriches, and other huge reptiles. These laws existed before our arrival here, are enforced all the time and will continue after our individual deaths; therefore I am convinced that they are Eternal as well as Supernatural.
4. Every law has a lawgiver, so these natural, eternal and supernatural laws must equally have a Natural, an Eternal and a Supernatural Lawgiver or givers. If the latter, there must be a hierarchy and at the apex of these lawgivers must be one Supreme overseer that is the ultimate law itself and therefore I refer to it as the Ultimate Lawgiverwhom all else must obey at all times. To IT/HIM/HER I owe my existence, my breath, my blood, my food and my life. IT/HE/SHE is my Greatest Being that must be obeyed and worshipped!
5. I have equally observed actions and reactions; motions produced by winds, time and space interactions and those immanent motions that are inherited by all living entities. They obey definite laws of gravity, temperature, time and space. Therefore I concede that these laws exact commensurate punishment for any and every violation of their dictates. Some punishments are immediate while some are delayed but definitely actions and reactions as I have realised are equal and opposite in nature. This Supernatural and Eternal Lawgiver rewards for obedience to these laws and so must be the Ultimate Cause of these motions for the daily enforcement of His Natural and Eternal Laws to ensure eternal harmony in the universe.
6. The force of gravity, the energy of light, the speed of sound, the velocity of wind, and the devastating fury of all the relentless elements in creation; thunders, fires, floods, storms, volcanoes, earthquakes and cyclones exhibit the magnitude and the energy of the One who initiates, maintains and controls them. The limitlessness of time, space, sound, light and darkness force me to concede that this Eternal Lawgiver is not only Infinite and Expansive but also All Powerful!
7. When I study the skies at night or the seasons and climates, the vegetation and the desert, the lagoons and the islands, the hills and the valleys, and most especially the beauty of sunrise and sunset, I marvel at the precision, regularity and complementary nature of these phenomena and therefore fully appreciate that whoever put them there, cares and caters for them on an hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly bases and must therefore be a Benevolent Custodian, and an Accurate Time Keeper!
8. Positivity and Negativity exist in all forms of life; microcosms, macrocosms, material and non-material beings thereby producing some real currents, emotions and instincts in animals that are equally subservient to these ever-present natural and eternal laws. These make life worth living, for they constitute the basic motivations for the survival needs of every genus and species of life on planet earth, and so all pro-creative activities obey these Natural and Eternal Laws!
9. When I observe all living beings; their beauty and ugliness, their variety and numbers, their shapes and sizes, their individual modes of feeding, defending and surviving in hostile environments and most especially their innate abilities at reproducing themselves both sexually and/or asexually, I declare that this Eternal Lawgiver is All Creative, All Beautiful, and an Impartial Judge! I am fully convinced IT/HE/SHE created all the finite beings around me. Therefore, permit me to call IT/HE/SHE our commonwealth Supernatural and Eternal Creator/Father/Mother!
10. Finally, although the list is not comprehensive so far, I appreciate and respect that among all the living things that move about on their own, I do observe that we all have the same basic structure, protoplasm and energy source. We equally possess identical feelings, functions and comparable life spans! We all need to prostrate and worship this All Knowing, All Powerful, and Infinite Energy Source that sustains all beings in the entire universe!
And because there are no accidents in Nature when all His Natural Laws are respected and obeyed, I attest to this creed most solemnly and voluntarily:
*-THE UNIVERSE IS OUR INHERITANCE, ALL MANKIND MY BLOOD RELATIVES!
**--DOING GOOD AT ALL TIMES AND OBEYING ALL NATURAL LAWS IS MY CODE!
*---SEEKING THE TRUTH, LIVING THE TRUTH, PROPAGATING THE TRUTH AND DYING FOR THE TRUTH IF THE NEED ARISES, IS MY RELIGION!
POSTSCRIPT:
My respect, obedience and loyalty belongs to this Almighty Eternal Being as I extend my hands of love and co-operation to all other beings that I meet during my short span of life on this planet, since I now recognise them as my brothers, sisters and co-heirs of this Our Eternal Lawgiver, Father and Mother who created us all!
Shortly following the death of his beloved father, Sir Daniel M. Paul Mbaezue, a 4th Grade Papal Knight of Columbus, Texas, USA in 1998, the animator went into mourning for a year. He resurfaced in 1999 with an epitaph he continually re-phrased and revised for years before this final version, which he captioned:
A KENEZIAN EPITAPH
“Here lie the humble remains of………………….
The man who lived the Truth,
Stood for the Truth,
Propagated the Truth, and
Died defending the Truth!
Undeterred by mundane opinions,
Unseduced by feminine sycophancy,
Undismayed by human adversities!
He confronted life with courage,
He conquered evil with goodness,
He defeated enemies with friendliness!
He was not the son of an earthly king,
But he lived and died as a heavenly prince,
The Prince of Family Health world-wide,
He lived for and served all mankind,
He founded and animated three NGOs,
His legacy remains:
ONE ALMIGHTY CREATOR,

DR. KENEZ DANMBAEZUE’S PLEAS TO EVERY TEACHER OF HIS CHILDREN
*(Each paragraph/plea can be used as the theme of Morning Assembly Talks)*
Dear Teacher,
Preamble: Your job is an onerous one, commendable by both God and man,
My child will look up to you as a role model, a mirror to view the world;
You will have to father him for 5 hours a day, 5 days a week and 35 weeks per year,
That’s long enough to make or mar his future, his classmates and that of this country.
1. Teach him to look around and admire the beauty in nature, himself inclusive,
Let him know that for every child he sees, there are two parents – a father and a mother;
So for the birds he sees, trees, animals, hills, rivers, sun, daylight, night and moonlight,
There is but One Almighty Father, who created and takes care of us all on a daily basis.
2. Teach him to trust and obey The Almighty Creator with worship in humility,
And to love every other being, as we all are sons and daughters of the same Creator;
Let him realise that when it rains, it’s for every one: plants, animals and man,
The Creator’s kindness and benevolence does not choose those to hate or love.
3. Teach him that for every lie he tells, he will tell ten more lies to cover it up,
And for ten lies, he needs one hundred more lies – that is foolishness;
So let him learn that truth is golden, more precious than wealth and riches,
Knowledge, wisdom and fame are the rewards earned by truthful people.
4. In school, let him love and respect his classmates and fight to protect the weaker ones,
Allow him to taste bitter and sweet things; and to combine laughter and suffering;
That way you will have prepared him to deal with wicked and honest human beings,
Thereby teaching him to differentiate good from evil and to do good all his life.
5. Teach him that lying, cheating and stealing produce criminals and rogues,
Teach him that a kobo earned is better than a hundred won by lottery;
It’s better to go hungry for days than enjoy a meal prepared with stolen money,
Or eat crumbs of bread among finest friends than a loaf among dishonest men.
6. Teach him that a passage studied, understood and memorised,
Is far better than one simply crammed and repeated like a parrot;
The former leads to ingenuity, resourcefulness and creativity,
The latter to imitative behaviour, and lack of self-confidence;
Teach him that it’s more honourable to fail an examination,
Than to copy, cheat or use “expo” methods to pass any examination.
7. Finally teach him that it is better to be neither too poor nor too rich,
Than to become wealthy by stealing, deceit and cutting corners;
The former leads to contentment, peace of mind and long life,
The latter to arrogance, greed, restlessness and sudden death;
Explain to him what “Honesty is the best policy” really means,
And the practical implications of the saying: “More haste, less speed”.
Postscript: You’ll have to believe and practise these yourself,
Before you can teach them to my son and his mates;
But be assured that if you succeed in this assignment,
You will be a hero and the father of heroes and heroines;
And that’s what our dear country needs most.
May God guide your endeavours!

PILLAR THREE OF I S M
I. S. M. UNIVERSAL PRAYER
THE ANIMATOR INTERNATIONAL’S VERSION
Lord of the universe, the Almighty Creator God, I am your humble son,
Jideofo Kenechukwu, born into the family of Sir Daniel Paul Mbaezue.
In your Infinite Wisdom and Love you have created me for a purpose,
Permit me to understand and fulfil the mission you have assigned me,
May your Holy Spirit guide me to accomplish it in my short span of life.
My Eternal Creator and Lord of the universe, I know that you exist,
I observe also that all beings are interdependent, we need each other,
Therefore, increase my loyalty and dependence on your benevolence.
I love you as the Father of all that exists, I want to love other beings,
As much as I love myself, permit me to truly achieve this increasingly!
I worship you as my first beginning, I wish to do this as long as I live,
I acknowledge your constant sustenance and care for me and all that is,
Guide me by your divine wisdom, correct me with your eternal justice,
Comfort me with your mercy and protect me with your limitless power,
So that I may obey all the laws, you put in creation for our own good!
I have a princely heritage in that I function at three levels of operations,
In that tripartite functionality of thought, word and action I am like you.
Grant me a large heart and mind to appreciate the universal knowledge
That all humankind are blood relatives and co-heirs of this your ability,
Therefore, we all are brothers and sisters, children of the same Father!
Permit me to fix all my thoughts on you; my words to edify mankind,
My actions to reflect my love for all humanity because I respect you,
And all my trials and sufferings to be endured for your greater glory.
I want to do whatever you ask of me, in the very way that pleases you,
Thereby, obey all your natural laws for as long as you permit to live here.
Lord, enlighten my understanding, strengthen my will, purify my heart
And make me holy so as to resist temptations and repent of all my sins,
Help me to rise above human weaknesses and to grow stronger in truth,
So that with simplicity of heart and humane love I may care for others,
And in caring for others may my worship and adoration be self-evident.
Help me to conquer every anger with gentleness, greed by generosity,
Apathy by true charity, selfishness by works of mercy and compassion,
Help me to forget myself and thereby freely reach out towards others.
Let my conscience be clear most of the time, my conduct without fault,
My speech blameless, my thoughts edifying and my life well ordered.
Make me very prudent in planning ahead for all, courageous in taking risks,
Patient in adversity, honest at work and unassuming in times of prosperity.
Keep me attentive at my prayers, temperate at table and sober in drinking,
Firm in my holy resolutions, diligent in my good intentions/ labours of love.
May my lifestyle be exemplary and reflect your infinite goodness for all to see.
Put me on guard against mundane desires, protect me from every vanity
And licentiousness, which can draw me away from obeying your dictates.
Let me cherish your benevolence for all humanity and imitate your ways.
Teach me to realise that the world is passing by and that nothing here lasts,
That my true happiness is being a loyal citizen in your heavenly kingdom!
At the dusk of my earthly life, help me to prepare for death with a proper focus
On your fair judgement, for even guilty I still rely fully on your Infinite Mercy.
Lead me safely thro’ the pangs of physical death to that endless place of peace,
Where all those who have done your will on earth will be adequately rewarded,
With the bliss of singing your praises in communion with your saints forever!
Lord, search and find that I have kept the golden rules of the psalmist:
Lord, who may enter your temple or worship at your sacred hill?
• A person who obeys God in everything, especially the natural laws and as far as it is humanly possible, has always done what is right at all times and places.
• Whose words are true and sincere, and therefore he does not slander others.
• He does no wrong to his friends nor spreads rumours about his neighbours,
• Rather he has compassion for the needy and always forgives his offenders.
• He despises those whom God rejects, denouncing their hypocritical lifestyles.
• Nevertheless, he honours those who respect and obey the eternal laws of the Lord.
• He always does what he promises, no matter how much it may cost him, in terms of material or human resources.
• He makes loans without charging interest and cannot be bribed to testify against the innocent.
• Whoever does these things will always be happy and feel secure in your love.
THIS IS THE LITMUS TEST FOR ALL GENUINE KENEZIANS
Anyone who cannot internalise the noble thoughts, words and actions enunciated in this universal prayer has no business joining Kenezianism, a.k.a. INTEGRATIONAL SPIRITAN MOVEMENT.
Every sane man or woman who lives by the dictates of this interethnic, intercultural, inter-religious, interdisciplinary and international prayer points is a true Kenezian and a candidate of God’s kingdom on earth. We must be saints here not after our deaths. Kenezianism is the only natural path to holiness.

RESUME OF ALL THE FOUNDATION STONES OF I S M PRINCIPLES
MISSION STATEMENT:
The most rational way to inculcate love, justice and peace among all men and women in the world is to jettison man-made doctrines and dogmas invented and patented by any and every religious leader. The Creator did not need artificial compilations for any and every creature he made. He is omnipotent as well as omniscient, so he embedded all the rules each creature needed to serve him, live a good life and be in good terms with all other creatures on his planets. The scriptures assert that everything created was/is good! This is a proposal that has been thought out for half a century. It is hoped that its implementation will eradicate racism, religious bigotry and ethnic prejudices. Let us give our children a better psychosocial environment to maximise their potentials as citizens of this planet who are equal heirs to the benevolent luxury embedded into the physical world by the Almighty Creator of the universe! Join us today!! -----Dr Kenez (2001)
KENEZ PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE:
• All things come alike to all human beings. This is very generally true and I agree totally with King Solomon, the Wise, here! But, the Creator often makes a difference in a person’s destiny; and his faithful followers witness many interventions of Divine Providence on their behalf.
• But there are general blessings as well as general natural evils, that equally affect both the just and the unjust. But in this all is right because the evils that are in nature are the effects of the FALL of man; and the Creator will not suspend His general laws or alter them to favour individual cases. He equally does not design that his approbation or disapprobation shall be shown by any of these occurrences.
• Every holy man has a testimony of the Creator's approbation in his own heart and this makes him truly happy, no matter how outward things may be. And, in general, what the wicked suffer is the fruit of their own thoughts, desires and deeds. The general state of nature as to what are called natural evils is just as it ought to be.
• Because He is a Merciful Father, there is always enough evil to show that man has fallen and there is equally enough good to show that the Creator deals with each one as that one deserves! His Mercy balances out His Justice, therefore I cannot say that there is any rational cause for me to stumble at the dispensations of Divine Providence on any of these accounts.
THE KENEZIAN CODE:
• The world with all its natural resources is our corporate inheritance,
• All the men and women inhabiting it have the same anatomy & physiology and so are truly brothers and sisters
• Living the truth at all times by obeying all its eternal and natural laws, is our code of life!
• This can easily be achieved by following the dictates of our conscience, the Creator’s legal counsel and guide to a holy life,
• By being honest in thoughts, words and deeds at all times and at all places we find ourselves and finally,
• By not taking advantage of anyone for any reason whatsoever!
SUMMATION OF KENEZIANISM:
Here is the sum of all the human virtues and fellowship in the Absolute Truth;
• Catalogue all the natural & eternal laws in the world where s/he lives and obey them faithfully! This constitutes the true universal religion of the human race!
• Telling the truth and nothing but the truth at all times,
• Living the truth & teaching one’s offspring and other relatives to do the same,
• Defending the truth, propagating it and dying for it if the need arises!

POSTSCRIPT BY THE INTERNATIONAL ANIMATOR
DR KENEZ INSISTS THAT HARMONISATION OF MAJOR WORLD RELIGIONS IS FEASIBLE
Where I was born, there is this platitude; “when urine is deposited by a group on the same spot it foams.” This is just a natural phenomenon. But our preliterate sages converted it into an idiom or wise counsel. A Caucasian or a Mongoloid may ask; HOW? Africans who live in the tropics observe it daily. It is even tried out so often by children playing in the sun. In temperate regions, due to weather differences this foaming phenomenon may not be easily demonstrable. However, the import of the simple experiment this writer indulged in as a teenager is this; THERE IS STRENGTH IN DOING THINGS TOGETHER! Or in a simpler axiom known worldwide; “Unity is Strength”
In like manner, we have this local saying; ‘He who does not know where the rainfall starting beating him, will never know where it stopped’. Another warns; “A rat that joins a lizard in playing in the rain, to remember that when the lizard is dry, it will still be wet.” In my culture, one does not interpret proverbs. Simply put, “One, who does not know who he is and where he is coming from, does not know where he is going especially in religion!”
The music I am about to play is not for every human being to dance! It is only for those matured humans with sturdy legs and pliable pelvic girdles. Only those who are prepared to stand out of the crowd are qualified to read this controversial dissertation. For my local lyrics for the brave warriors of old counsels; “If you have strengthened your heart for real challenges, then put your hands!” This is purely a literal rendition. Its true import is this: “Unless you are fortified as a lion-hearted warrior, do not join in this war dance!”
All over the world, the supposedly rational animal that prides itself with being the only one with language and reason has been manipulated into swallowing toxic wastes in the name of faith! From birth, one is conditioned to swallow the community’s or parents’ religious practices without questions! The general mass hysteria is that doctrines, dogmas and rituals were handed down through some prophets and priests and therefore no one dares challenge their real worth; neither their veracity, their utilitarian values nor their mutual benefits! That has been the remote cause of racism, religious intolerance and the production of majority and minority races. That is now history for intelligent humans who will read and understand this proposal for UNITY OF ALL RELIGIONS!
In the thick rainforests of Biafra, before the arrival of the first white man on the African continent, bond-fide male indigenes in Eze Awara’s kingdom were warriors reputed for swallowing razor-sharp cutlasses or swords and thereafter excreting them at will or whenever they wanted. They solved the ‘impossibles’ by removing the ‘im’ to convert them to the ‘possibles”. “If you have strengthened your heart for real challenges, then put forward your hands!” You, too, can vomit the toxic cutlass of dogmas today! This book puts an end to all the ethnocentric ideologies, xenophobia and religious bigotry that generated crusades and jihads in the past!
The religious tradition of our forefathers has been overthrown by imported versions that our youths disregard or pay lip service to. It is the adult population that is corrupting the youth. There are no role models for the youth; neither among the fake pastors and money seeking evangelists nor among the inept public servants and the corrupt political class. That is the genesis of youth restiveness, social malaise and adult/juvenile delinquency that has escalated to unmanageable proportions inNigeria. For too long, our people have been wearing masks; the commercial mask worn by traders from Mondays to Fridays when they extort and cheat their customers. Civil service mask of pretences is a corollary! Then religiosity mask is worn by all for funeral ceremonies and condolence visits on Saturdays and finally, the Christian mask worn on Sundays!
Human knowledge wears blinkers. At other times, it wears coloured sun glasses and so we see only the colorinations presented as truth. Truth does not wear any make-up. Our knowledge of things is definitely incomplete! It is our ignorance and outright incompetence about the nature of divine beings and the true nature of independence among finite beings that generate religious bigotry and world wars!
WHAT IS RELIGIOUS INDEPENDENCE?
Merriam Webster’s Dictionary tells us that;
1re•li•gious \ri-'li-jÉs\ adj [ME, fr. AF religius, fr. L religiosus, fr. religio] (13c)
1 : relating to or manifesting faithful devotion to an acknowledged ultimate reality or deity ‹a ~ person› ‹~ attitudes›
2 : of, relating to, or devoted to religious beliefs or observances ‹joined a ~ order›
3 a : scrupulously and conscientiously faithful b : fervent zealous — re•li•gious•ly adv — re•li•gious•ness n
2religious n, pl religious [ME, fr. AF religius, fr. religius, adj.] (13c) : a member of a religious order under monastic vows
“in•de•pen•dence \"in-dÉ-'pen-dÉn(t)s\ n (1640) 1 : the quality or state of being independent 2 archaic:
competence 1
com•pe•tence \'kƤm-pÉ-tÉn(t)s\ n (1605)
1 : a sufficiency of means for the necessities and conveniences of life ‹provided his family with a comfortable ~ —Rex Ingamells›
2 : the quality or state of being competent: as a : the properties of an embryonic field that enable it to respond in a characteristic manner to an organizer b : readiness of bacteria to undergo genetic transformation
3 : the knowledge that enables a person to speak and understand a language compare performance 6
Therefore, we can restrict our dissertation to: Religious Independence as behaviour relating to or manifesting faithful devotion to an acknowledged ultimate reality or deity with the quality or state of being competent to speak and act authoritatively on issues of the said-religion backed by the full knowledge and understanding of the roles and duties thereof!
--(Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez, on 13/11/2008 @ 07:31:18 HRS GMT)
Let us see what political independence has meant to colonised nations in the secular world and extrapolate the concepts to our religious communities. We may then be in a better position to appreciate the assertion that we are still tied to the apron strings of religious demagogues parading as Gurus, Popes or Imams.
INDEPENDENCE IN AFRICA AND ASIA FOLLOWING WORLD WAR II
In the four centuries between 1500 and 1914, the central theme of world history was the expansion of European power. After 1914, however, a series of events took place that gradually undermined the West’s global dominion. The catalyst was World War I (1914-1918). For four years, Europeans slaughtered each other by the millions and wasted the financial resources of the entire continent. No sooner had Europeans begun to recover from this catastrophe than they stumbled into the greatest economic depression of modern times. Then, World War II (1939-1945) came. By the end of that bloody conflict, European powers were so exhausted, so poor and so demoralised they were barely in a position to assert control over their own countries, let alone their colonies. Not surprisingly, nationalist movements throughout Asia and Africa took advantage ofEurope’s weakness. Within a generation, these movements had swept aside colonial governments and established an assortment of independent states. By the end of the third quarter of the 20th century, 400 years of European dominance over other nations came to an end. One can identify a set of common characteristics that influenced all the independence movements across the Asian and African continents. One such characteristic is a common antagonist, namely Europe. To be sure, the various European states administered their colonies differently. Nevertheless, they all manifested similar qualities of paternalism and arrogance and they transmitted to their colonies an institutional legacy—such as the nation-state—that had lasting consequences.
The various independence movements also frequently shared elements of paradox and irony. In many European colonies, for example, local intellectual and political leaders were often educated in Europe or America. There, they were exposed to the Western ideals of freedom and equality embodied in the American and French Revolutions. Small wonder, then, that they returned home with these ideals—especially the goal of national sovereignty. These leaders had also learned from another model of political action; the Russian Revolution. The success of the 1917 Marxist revolution in Russia seemed to offer a do-it-yourself kit for nationalist intellectuals around the world intent on overthrowing their old regimes. Marxism, when mixed with nationalism, formed an explosive combination that sparked off successful moral, social and political revolutions throughout the 20th century starting from China to Vietnam to Africa toCuba. Western leaders therefore, by exporting both nationalism and Marxism, had ironically delivered into the hands of those who resisted them the ideologies and instruments for their own expulsion.
Another paradox occurred after independence had been granted to the colonies. Freedom did not always bring with it the prosperity and self-government for which so many early leaders had earnestly worked. In some cases, newly “freed” people woke up to discover that their colonial masters had simply been replaced by local dictators who used the old colonial institutions for their personal gain. In other cases, countries faced new forms of economic exploitation as oppressive as those of the colonial period. Whether that exploitation constituted another form of colonialism, sometimes called neo-colonialism, or whether it was entered into willingly by the new masters of former colonies is a matter of dispute among historians. Some historians say that although colonies had previously exercised little choice in how economic resources were developed, new sovereign countries did have a choice. They were free to nationalise or expel foreign companies from their own countries, and many of them did just that! ….. ………………………………………………………………..Contributed by Alan T. Wood.
Observe the foolery of religion in the two world wars! It was religio-political conflicts and racial superiority that gave birth to both! Each nation had its spiritual head who championed its religion. Is it not cynical that each nation had prayers said for its soldiers before each battle? Were they praying to the same God? Religion is politics, but many uninformed adherents are hoodwinked into believing that “God” is their President General. He was/is the supreme dictator and priests and imams were only human administrators. Thus a new brand of religious colonialism arrived on the scene; Exploitation in the name of “God or Allah or gods”! So, tell me; is ‘RELIGION’ not ‘POLITICS’? …………………………………………………….- Dr Danmbaezue asks everyone
Religion now wears different gowns; annual missionary collections, church/mosque levies, pilgrimages, compulsory offertory collections, harvest and bazaars. To date, centuries after some colonised nations have won pseudo-political independence; none is independent of religious domination by their religio-political masters. The wonder of it all it that the above-underlined scenario is what has been happening and will continue to happen in churches/mosques all over the continents “world without end, - Amen!” The congregation, whether African, American, Asian, European or Indian is short-changed by their wry religious leaders who wine, dine and womanise while they go a-borrowing to take care of their children’s health, education and other familial duties unaided by any one! Many die of kwashiorkor, hypertension or hunger! Is there a better tax-free business than a religious industry?
“Freedom of Religion is the right of a person to form personal religious beliefs according to his or her own conscience and to give public expression to these beliefs in worship and teaching, restricted only by the requirements of public order. Religious liberty differs from toleration in that toleration presupposes preferential treatment of a particular creed by the state because it is an established church or, in some cases, is the predominant religion of the population. The United States was the first, and for some times the only, nation to include the principle of religious liberty in its basic laws. The nations of antiquity permitted tolerance to individuals of minority religions, provided they took part in the public worship of the national gods. Soon after Christianity became established as the official religion of theRoman Empire in the 4th century, heresy and heterodoxy became equivalent to treason. After the Reformation, this condemnation of atypical religious beliefs was continued by nations with established reformed churches, and those who disagreed with the established church were punished.” The charter of Rhode Island, granted in 1663, is notable for being the first to include a declaration of the right to religious liberty. This doctrine gradually spread to the other colonies, and at the time of the American Revolution, the principle of religious liberty was explicitly adopted in various state constitutions. The process culminated in the adoption of the U.S. Constitution, which in Article VI forbids the establishment of any religious test as a qualification for federal office, and in the 1st Amendment forbids the passage of laws “respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”……………………………………………………….

To achieve worldwide religious freedom may seem impossible or sound like a mirage, but not to this astute thinker, this writer who has been under its theocratic enslavement for half-a-century. His answer is worth experimenting with. Surf the internet for: www.happyfamilynetwork.hpage.com , meditatively read the Principles of Kenezianism to see that it sums up all that is in the Animator’s International Prayer.
BRIEF CURRICULUM VITAE OF THE ANIMATOR INTERNATIONAL

We encourage those Homo Sapiens Sapiens who want to see a ONE-WORLD RELIGION; to find and peruse other publications by the three young academicians, simply known as CHEFS JUDE, JIDEOFO & KENEZ entitled;
“ANGELIC VERSES, Volumes 1, 2 & 3”.
In essence, the three booklets repudiate the errors of past generations of ethnocentric leaders of thought that have mistakenly been accepted as norms. They introduce the intelligent man or woman to those indices for unity and universal brotherhood essential in the theory and practice of an interdisciplinary, inter-racial and inter-ethnic mode of reverence for or worship of the Almighty Creator, our Eternal and Benevolent Father!
The mission statement of I. S. M is aptly summarised in
1st John: 3, vv 1-10:
“CHILDREN OF GOD
v.1: See how much the Father has loved us! His love is so great that we are called God’s children—and so, in fact, we are. This is why the word does not know us: it has not known God.
v.2: My dear friends, we are now God’s children, but it is not yet clear what we shall become. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he really is.
v.3: Everyone who has this hope in Christ keeps himself pure, just as Christ is pure.
v.4: Whoever sins is guilty of breaking God’s law, because sin is a breaking of the law.
v.5: You know that Christ appeared in order to take away our sins, and that there is no sin in him.
v.6: So everyone who lives in union with Christ does not continue to sin; but whoever continues to sin has never seen him or known him.
v.7: Let no one deceive you, my children! Whoever does what is right is righteous.
v.8: Whoever continues to sin belongs to the Devil, because the Devil has sinned from the very beginning. The Son of God appeared for this very reason, to destroy what the Devil had done.
v.9: Whoever is a child of God does not continue to sin, for God’s very nature is in him; and because God is his Father, he cannot continue to sin.
v.10: This is the clear difference between God’s children and the Devil’s children: anyone who does not do what is right or does not love his brother is not God’s child.
The law referred to here in verse 4 is and could only be THE NATURAL LAWS, the pristine commands of the Creator even before Adam and Eve were created!
It was only one of them that Lord reserved when He gave Adam dominion over all his created beings.
Verse 5 confirms my assertion, as Christ is generally accepted as the second Adam promised in Genesis 3.
Let’s put on our thinking caps and defend our claim to the appellation ‘Homo Sapiens, Sapiens’!
Look critically at verse 8 and you will understand my thesis!
v.8: Whoever continues to sin belongs to the Devil, because the Devil has sinned from the very beginning. The Son of God appeared for this very reason, to destroy what the Devil had done.
I S M IS A PRACTICAL FELLOWSHIP FOR NATURAL SCIENTISTS AS DEMONSTRATED BY THESE TOPICS
PRACTICUM 001
A group of 50 people with name tags attended an ISM seminar that our Animator International, Dr Jideofo Kenechukwu Danmbaezue chaired.
• After pleasantries the Guest Speaker started giving each one a balloon and asked each attendee to write his/her name on it using marker pens he provided.
• Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room.
• Now these delegates were let in that room and asked to find the balloon which had their name on it, within 5 minutes. Everyone was frantically searching for their names, colliding with each other, pushing around others and there was utter chaos.
• At the end of 5 minutes no one could find his or her own balloon.
• Then, the Seminar Speaker now asked each one to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it.
• Within minutes everyone had his or her own balloon.
• Thereafter, the speaker began his talk by saying the following;
• Exactly this is what is happening in our individual lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is. Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness; you will get your own. And this is the purpose of human life.
• Sharing what you have especially knowledge, love and time with others is the beginning of ONE ALMIGHTY CREATOR, ONE CREATED UNIVERSE, ONE HUMAN FAMILY
• This practicum is the theory and practice of the motto of INTEGRATIONAL SPIRITAN MOVEMENT in action.
Oh, how I wish our avaricious politicians worldwide and other deceitful smooth-operators can now realise why looting national treasuries rarely bring them any self-satisfaction in life. • Be inspired to practise it daily and become a true Kenezian today a lasting GLOBAL PEACE.
PRACTICUM 002
YOUR VALUE IN THE EYES OF THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR THAT WE WORSHIP IS GOLDEN AND PRICELESS FOR WE ARE HIS HEIRS.
“A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked,
• "Who would like this $20 bill?" All hands started going up.
• He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this”. He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up.
• He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "what if I do this?"
• And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty.
• "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.
• "My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.
• Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled and grounded into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value in God's eyes. To Him, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to Him.”
EVERY DAY GOD SHOWS US WE ARE ALL EQUAL BY GIVING US HIS SUNLIGHT, MOON, STARS, RAINFAL. AIR etc etc
•BUT SOME FOOLS THINK SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS. WE ARE ALL BORN EQUAL AS HELPLESS BABIES AND WILL ALL DIE EQUAL AS MOTIONLESS CORPSES..
•THINK AND REASON, MY FRIENDS. WE NEED PEACE.
That is ISM or KENEZIANISM in practice! I hope you cherish these words of wisdom of an Unknown Author I found in the Internet!
THEREFORE A REDISCOVERY OF AND A RETURN TO THE OBEDIENCE TO ALL NATURAL LAWS IN CREATION AS DEMONSTRATED BY PATRIARCH ENOCH IN CHAPTER 5 OF GENESIS OF THE BIBLE CORPORATELY ACCEPTED AND ENDORSED BY CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS ALIKE, FORM THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF I. S. M., ALSO KNOWN AS:
KENEZIAN SOCIAL ETHICS FOR MODERN MAN IN OUR GLOBAL VILLAGE
KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED FOR THIS IS ONLY THE APPETISER, THE MAIN COURSE MEAL IS STILL IN THE OVEN... WHERE CHEF KENEZ IS IN TOTAL CONTROLS FOR NOW!

Danmbaezue Jideofo Kenechukwu: THE KENEZIAN
EPITAPH FOR TRUE CHILDREN OF THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR
• Among the living things that move about on their own, I do observe that we all have the same basic structure, protoplasm and energy source.
• We equally possess identical feelings, functions and comparable life spans!
• We all need to prostrate and worship this All Knowing, All Powerful, and Infinite Energy Source that sustains all beings in the entire universe!
• And because there are no accidents in Nature when all His Natural Laws are respected and obeyed, I attest to this creed most solemnly and voluntarily:
• *-THE UNIVERSE IS OUR INHERITANCE, ALL MANKIND MY BLOOD RELATIVES!
• **--DOING GOOD AT ALL TIMES AND OBEYING ALL NATURAL LAWS IS MY CODE!
• *---SEEKING THE TRUTH, LIVING THE TRUTH, PROPAGATING THE TRUTH AND DYING FOR THE TRUTH IF THE NEED ARISES, IS MY RELIGION!
Postscript:
My respect, obedience and loyalty belongs to this Almighty Eternal Being as I extend my hands of love and co-operation to all other beings that I meet during my short span of life on this planet, since I now recognise them as my brothers, sisters and co-heirs of this Our Eternal Lawgiver, Father and Mother who created us all!
Shortly following the death of his beloved father, Sir Daniel M. Paul Mbaezue, a 4th Grade Papal Knight of Columbus , Texas, USA in 1998, the animator went into mourning for a year. He resurfaced in 1999 with an epitaph he continually re-phrased and revised for years before this final version, which he captioned:
A KENEZIAN INTERNATIONAL EPITAPH
“Here lie the humble remains of………………….
The man who lived the Truth,
Stood for the Truth,
Propagated the Truth, and
Died defending the Truth!
Undeterred by mundane opinions,
Unseduced by feminine sycophancy,
Undismayed by human adversities!
He confronted life with courage,
He conquered evil with goodness,
He defeated enemies with friendliness!
He was not the son of an earthly king,
But he lived and died as a heavenly prince,
The Prince of Family Health world-wide,
He lived for and served all mankind,
He founded and animated three NGOs,
His legacy remains:
ONE ALMIGHTY CREATOR,
ONE CREATED UNIVERSE,
ONE HUMAN FAMILY!
