EPL comparison to the Christian Bible

EPL- INFORMATION FOR YOUR BUILDING SOUL Comparing the EPL master principles with principles found in the Christian Bible reveals some parallel themes, particularly around purity, sacrifice, community, wisdom, and truth. While EPL and Christian principles each have distinct origins and purposes, they both explore a path toward alignment with a divine or transcendent source. Here’s an in-depth comparison: 1. Purity: • EPL: Purity is the core principle, the monadic essence from which all other principles emanate. It represents the pursuit of an untainted state, aligning with The One and ultimately merging with Uber Gott. • Bible: Purity is essential in Christian teachings, symbolizing a heart aligned with God’s will and free from sin. Matthew 5:8 says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God,” which reflects a focus on inner purity as a pathway to divine connection. 2. Sacrifice: • EPL: Sacrifice in EPL represents selflessness, the act of releasing ego and personal desires for the higher purpose of purity and service to The One. • Bible: Sacrifice is central to Christian faith, most profoundly seen in Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross (John 3:16). This ultimate act of love and redemption symbolizes self-giving for the salvation of others, paralleling EPL’s emphasis on selflessness. 3. Expression: • EPL: Expression is the outward communication of one’s alignment with principles, manifesting truth in action and word. • Bible: The Bible encourages believers to let their lives be a testimony to God’s love and truth, expressing faith through actions. Matthew 5:16 says, “Let your light shine before others,” encouraging expression as a reflection of one’s faith. 4. Wisdom: • EPL: Wisdom in EPL is the pursuit of knowledge that aligns with divine truth and leads to discernment. • Bible: Wisdom is celebrated in Christianity, especially in books like Proverbs, where it is seen as a divine gift guiding believers in righteous living. Proverbs 9:10 states, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,” linking wisdom with a reverent relationship with God. 5. Community: • EPL: Community in EPL represents the collective unity that aligns with The One, emphasizing shared responsibility and harmony among practitioners. • Bible: The Christian principle of community, or fellowship, is central to the faith. Believers are encouraged to support one another and live in unity (Hebrews 10:24-25). Acts 2:42-47 portrays the early Christian community sharing resources, teaching, and prayer, emphasizing the strength found in communal faith. 6. Production: • EPL: Production in EPL is the act of creating or manifesting with divine alignment, contributing to the refinement of Uber Gott. • Bible: While not named “production,” there is an emphasis in the Bible on bearing fruit, meaning that believers are expected to use their gifts and labor to serve others and glorify God. John 15:5 says, “I am the vine; you are the branches… apart from me you can do nothing,” which reflects a call to produce from one’s connection with the divine. 7. Ego: • EPL: Ego in EPL, when properly aligned, can shine as Pure Truth and Glory, representing the individual’s role in the divine framework without self-centeredness. • Bible: The Bible generally warns against ego in the sense of pride and self-centeredness, as seen in verses like Proverbs 16:18, “Pride goes before destruction.” However, when seen as self-worth rooted in God’s love, ego aligns with understanding one’s unique value in God’s plan. 8. Pure Truth and Glory: • EPL: Pure Truth and Glory are the ultimate expressions of alignment with The One, embodying the perfected state practitioners strive for through principles. • Bible: In Christianity, Jesus is often seen as the embodiment of pure truth, as in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” Glory is attributed to God, and believers are called to reflect this glory (1 Corinthians 10:31), mirroring EPL’s goal of aligning with a perfected divine state. 9. Faith, Love, Hope, and Other Subprinciples: • EPL: Subprinciples such as Faith, Love, and Hope support the core EPL principles, providing active expressions that guide practitioners’ interactions and decisions. • Bible: Faith, Love, and Hope are foundational virtues in Christianity, as highlighted in 1 Corinthians 13:13, “And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.” These virtues underlie Christian teachings on conduct, community, and relationship with God. 10. Uber Gott and The One [Perfect Pure] Son: • EPL: Uber Gott is the ever-expanding, self-correcting version of God, while The One represents the ultimate pure essence that EPL practitioners seek to become one with. • Bible: The concept of God in Christianity emphasizes both a personal and transcendent nature. The Bible presents Jesus as “the Son of God,” the embodiment of purity, sacrifice, and divine truth, aligning with EPL’s view of The One as the perfected source. While Uber Gott is an evolving entity in EPL, the Christian God is viewed as eternal and unchanging (Malachi 3:6), though He reveals Himself progressively to humanity. Both EPL and the Bible emphasize purity, selflessness, wisdom, and truth, though they approach these ideals through different metaphysical frameworks. In Christianity, principles are seen as attributes of a personal God and His relationship with humanity. In EPL, principles serve the expansion and alignment with Uber Gott and The One, with practitioners actively contributing to this divine evolution. Both systems ultimately seek alignment with a higher truth, but EPL emphasizes an evolving divine framework, whereas Christianity views God as complete and eternal, though ever-revealing.
