This is long and detailed. Written in three parts, it addresses three different concerns in our day and age. I forewarn you, what you will find written here is not your average argument. When I say, 'much of this the average person has never heard', I do not jest. All our lives we have been taught to believe and not question, and since very few have broken this 'rule', much of this will be beyond immediate comprehension. It will likely overwhelm you. The intent here is Unity. The time for petty argument over religion is over. Time for the human race to Grow Up. Time for us to recognize the fact that we are not alone. That we are not the center of the universe, God's 'only' creation, or unique in the entire universe. We are none of the above. We are just happen to believe that we are.
It is time for humanity to unite as One, because it is the only way we can ever hope to be recognized as a part of the larger whole of the World Out There. We have been seeking answers all of our lives, and we look to the stars in wonder. The clues are everywhere, but we have not recognized them because we have been arguing amongst ourselves like immature children. We have not overcome our fear of the shadows under the bed, or the monster in the closet. We still believe that we need to be protected from what we do not understand. We fear what we do not understand, and above all we understand the least about our spiritual selves.
We fully comprehend our sexuality, the human corpse and its physical capabilities. But the spirit, the soul, the mind, and mental abilities such as e.s.p. and psychic phenomena are to this very day discounted as fable and imagination. Because no one really understands what animates our bodies. Our suface textures are merely identifying characteristics, the likes of which we have used to divide ourselves into groups of infighting siblings. You are white and I am black. So what. Your blood is red and so is mine. Your bones break like mine do. Your muscles fail. You will die, like I will. And then both our bodies will be recognized for exactly what they are: empty vehicles of flesh and bone. Corpses that will rot and leave what will make us indistinguishable from each other: bleached bone.
It is time to Grow Up, people. The world is a much bigger place than our own little sand box. It is time for Understanding to replace the infantile system of religious belief. Time for Spiritual Unity. Time for Cultural Solidarity. Time for Racial Equality. Time for True Freedom from religion, from the mental slavery for the need of money, and our self-concerned leaders who have bound us hand, foot, and mouth by imposing them upon us.
Before I go further, you must be prepared to read information that will change your perspective and your beliefs. It is something that cannot be ?'unread', rejected as improbable, or discounted as ?'theory'. Modern theology has discounted much of what I am about to tell you. Not that it has been investigated, for the most part it has not been. But most of this has been relegated to myth, and as such nonsense. But what theologians put forth as ?'true', has long been a lie. Even in Jesus' time the people were unaware of the massive secret I am about the reveal.
The first five books of the Old Testament are attributed to Moses, and in the centuries since these were first set down, the ?'man' Moses has been relegated to legendary status. He commands more respect than Jesus himself when one considered the fact that there is little question of his existence or his authority, but before the books of Moses there is nothing, and the first book begins with his retelling of the creation, the flood, and the descendants of Abraham leading up to Egypt and his leading Abraham's descendants out of it. There is a curious fact concerning the name ?'Moses' and it is this, the name literally translates to ?'born of'. The story of Moses' birth, and his being placed in a reed basket does not belong to Moses at all but to King Sargon I of Akkade in 2300 BC, more than a thousand years before.
I want to impress upon you the reasons for this bit of deceit, because the reason behind it reveals the reason why the ?'God' of Isreal is a ?'he' instead of androgynous. It is amusing to note that all the characters of the Books of Moses die before reaching the promised land. Aaron, Miriam, and Moses himself all die before actually fulfilling the purpose God set forth. Joshua, the first fully male personage lacking a female influence, ends up actually leading the Children to the promised land. The books which follow Deuteronomy are specifically and purposefully male in orientation whereas the Books of Moses are almost completely absent of gender reference.
The reason for this ties into the Name of the Lord God of Israel, The name ?'YHWH' is the well known TETRAGRAMMATON substituting the name of God. The reason for this, we have been told, is because the name of God is too powerful to be spoken out loud, as the power it contains could inadvertently cause destruction. The only way to make sense of this is to suppose that the ?'power' the name of God is said to ?'contain' is not restricted by the bounds of evil or good, but can be controlled by anyone who knows it. At least this would be a logical conclusion if one was to accept the reason for replacing the name of the Lord God of Israel with YHWH. The letters are Latin, which when replaced with their true letters revert to the following: I E V E. Throughout the old Testament we find YWHW replacing the name of God, or I EVE, where ever it is used. In many places they allowed the other names and titles of God to remain. These are the clues that will establish beyond doubt the identity of the Lord God of Israel, thus establishing the gender of the God who first called Abraham from Ur, in Sumer. The origins of Abraham are key to establishing the link between the Lord God of Israel and the Sumerian history now considered myth.
In Isaiah 43: 3 "For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One Of Israel, your Savoir. I give Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in exchange for you."
The preceding passage is taken word for word, to specifically reveal to the blind the identity of the Lord God they worship and serve. The stand-in name of YHWH for God has been revealed as female in origin: I EVE. The Name ?'Holy One', as a title is innocent when God uses the term, but taken in context with what I revealed before, and what I will reveal later, will settle the question for one and for all. The name ?'Holy One' has been applied in the Old Testament to God, but outside of the bible, it applies to a female deity by the name of Isis. This is important because it further establishes the reason for exchanging the name of the God of Israel to YHWH, the for letters match exact the name ISIS. The first two letters of which we find in both ISrael and in IShmael, the ISlamic patriarch born to Abraham.
The title ?'Holy One' has applied to the Lady of Heaven for almost as long as she has been worshiped. The name ?'Isis' can be traced all the way back to the Sumerian pre-flood period. The ?'mother goddess' has been known by many names in many cultures from Ishtar to Ashera, from Venus to Innana. The deity each of these names refer to is the same person worshiped, respected, and feared as goddess. What separates the different aspects of the goddess is the different beliefs that have been established in order to worship her. From Hathor, who was killed and resurrected as Isis, to Sekmet, daughter of Ra born to exact his rage.
Each of the ?'myths' of the gods relay a cultural impression of a history that has been passed down for millennia. The names change, and sometimes the roles the ?'gods' played, as is the case with Ishtar/Innana. But from the earliest times of history, the Mesopotamian ?'gods' have lasted over the ages intact, with merely a change of name, and sometimes a service. In modern times, we find the same ancient Sumerian goddess Innana, in a somewhat distorted, and completely gender reversed role as the male god Yahweh/Jehovah. These names are rendered by translating the TETRAGRAMMATON into modern English. YHWH represents the name of God, which has been revealed to be female in gender, and likely used to replace the name ISIS, which would be familiar to Egyptian and Ethiopian religions. Which leads into these countries and their significance.
In ancient times, Egypt was ruled by the Pharaoh, who was said to derive his power from the Goddess, in this case Isis, who was represented by the temple High Priestess. When Miriam, high priestess of Isis, and not Moses, was directed to remove the descendants of Abraham from Egypt, she was taking the power of the goddess with her; resulting in an impotent Pharaoh, abandoned by the power that established him.
As for Ethiopia, the Queen of Sheba, shows up in both the bible and the Qu'ran. What is significant here is that Ethiopia, as Egypt, worshiped the same goddess, but by a different name. Sheba, Egypt, and Nubia all worshiped the ?'mother goddess' also known as the ?'Great I AM'. The following is a quote taken from a text called ?'The Thunder: Perfect Mind' found in the Nag Hammadi Codices:
"I was sent forth from God's power, and I have come to those who reflect on me, and have been found, among those who seek after me. Look upon me you, you who reflect upon me, and you hearers, hear me. You who are waiting for me, take me to yourselves. And do not banish me from your sight. And do not make your voice hate me, nor your hearing. Do not be ignorant of me anywhere or at any time. Be on your guard! Do not be ignorant of me. For I AM the first and the last. I AM the Honored One and the Scorned One. I AM the Whore and the Holy One. I AM the Wife and the VIRGIN. I AM the Mother and the Daughter. I AM barren and many are my SONS. I AM she whose wedding is great, and I have not taken a husband. I AM the solace of my labor pains. I AM the BRIDE and the BRIDEGROOM. I AM she whose image is great in Egypt. "
Isaiah: 15: I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King."
This scripture is illuminating in light of what I just revealed to you. Understanding that we are speaking of a female deity as the God of Israel, the above sentence is a suitable ending for this section. Translated according to the way I have shown you it reads:
"I am ISIS, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your Queen."
Which is beyond speculation and doubt. The in Genesis, the creation account is from two different perspectives. In the first: ?'male and female God created them' In the second, the LORD God puts Adam to ?'sleep' during which a rib is taken and a female mate is created for him. In the first account of the creation, God creates everything first, leaving man for the Sixth day, at which point both man and woman were created simultaneously. Judaism has tried to explain away this ?'first' woman as a demon called ?'Lilith'. She was supposed to be the first wife of Adam, as the first creation account reveals Adam had a woman created with him. The second account shows a woman created from the rib of Adam and given to him as wife: Eve. This second creation account is the reason why Israel has a ?'creator', because it is here that the Name of ISIS was first replaced with that of YWHW.
From Genesis chapter one verse one ?'God' is the exclusive designation in the retelling. In the fourth verse of chapter two, YHWH is first used to represent the ?'name' of the God of Israel. It is after this point, from the second creation account, that every trace of a female presence was replaced with a male one. The result is hideously obvious when the facts are pointed out. The period in history that may have provided for such deception of this magnitude can be found during the Hasmoneans dynasty, better known as the Maccabee Bothers, after Judas ?'the Hammer' (or Maccabee). These are accused of having appointed themselves High Priest, beginning with Judas Maccabee. The story of the Maccabees is contained in four separate books and were excluded from the KJV bible during its translation by church authority. The Hasmoneans are viewed in two perspectives depending on one's opinion: as abominations or as heroes. In this case, they are the only ?'outside' influence that could have resulted in the massive modification to the religious system of Israel.
This has been hidden for so long that it is hard to believe, but the facts presented here are hard to deny. But even as hard to believe as this may be, what I reveal next will be even more incredulous. I understand how hard this will be to adjust to at first, but the only concept that must be recognized is that the Lord God is merely female and not male. Nothing more is different, the Lord God is the same formidable Savoir. The same One who will avenge the wrongs done to Israel. I wrote this to prepare you for the real shock to follow, while adjusting, do not fail to seek guidance and understanding. The Lord God has not abandoned those who turn return to the Law and Commandments.
More to Follow.
Part Two
I began the previous section with a gender revelation concerning the Lord God of Israel. For many of you this was and will be hard to stomach. Why would I upset the apple cart by telling the world that the ?'God' most of them believe is Female and not Male as they all believe? What purpose does it serve? The purpose was to show you that what you believe, what you have been taught, what you have been reading and believing about your bibles was altered long ago. Even before the time of Jesus, the female ?'deity' of Israel was changed into a male one. The entire bible has been modified to maintain the pretense of a male presence. Even the Jesus story has been modified to match the male perspective of those who presented the bible to you. As was the case with ?'Moses', much of what Jesus did and said was changed to remove the gender of those who traveled with him and of the woman he favored above all. ?'The Way' reveals these facts in a much more precise way than I have time for here.
As for what the remainder of this section deals with, a bit of a primer is necessary. Since we were kids, the idea of aliens either fascinated or frightened us. As adults, the question of their existence is still evident by means of the focus placed on UFOs and alien encounters. There is enough evidence to prevent the subject from being discounted as altogether improbable. Crop circles, lights in the sky, eye witness accounts, and the periodic foreign materials recovered from crash ?'investigations' are just a few examples. The UFO phenomenon has been covered from every angle except an objective one. Even those who ?'doubt' do not question the eyewitnesses, even if they do believe them to be hallucinating. The multiple number over the last 50 years is a testament that is hard to deny. Aliens are presumed to be ?'real' by all accounts, but the answers end there.
The last 50 years are the modern equivalent of a two hour movie when compared with the historical sightings of UFOs over the history of man. There are UFOs in famous art depictions, there are spacemen in cave drawings, and there are fascinating accounts of eyewitness sightings in the Old Testament, often referred to as ?'Chariots of the Gods'. It is taken for granted the age of the documents contained within the bible, and much of the descriptions provided consist of the basic interpretations the individuals could come up with. Imagine being in prehistoric times, the only ?'light' know to exist is that from the heavens, fire, or some other natural phenomena. An artificial light source as complicated as today's electric lamp would astound any bible personality.
It would be, from their point of view, an absolutely fantastic sight. Now consider the same person trying to comprehend, and relate to his friends, a television. Imagine having the task of trying to explain a television, or better yet a movie projector, to someone from 8 thousand years ago. Imagine approaching someone on a modern day vehicle of simple construction, say a motorbike, dressed as one would be dressed to ride such a vehicle, and after dismounting, beginning to speak to the first person you see. What would most likely be the result? It would be incomprehensible. Which is what ?'aliens and ufos' are to us now, and even more so then. But *we* are not in the Stone Age; these are modern time. We would recognize a interstellar vehicle landing in front of us and not be reduced to an unconscious heap. The fact of it *landing* in plain sight would be surprising, and the lights and flame of propulsion system would amaze and fascinate us. Such a sight would not be ?'out of place' in our reality, as it was in ancient times; which brings us to the Elohim and the ?'Watchers' of the bible.
Genesis 6:4 NRSV "The Nephilim were on the earth in those days-and also afterwards-when the Sons of God went in to the daughters of humans, who bore children to them. These were the heroes that were of old, warriors of renown."
The word ?'Elohim' is plural for ?'lords or gods'. The Egyptians refered to their ?'gods' as ?'Ntr' meaning ?'Watcher or Guardian'. The Sumerian called them ?'Annunaki', which means ?'those who from Heaven to Earth came'. In the bible, the word ?'Nephilim' is used, which in Hebrew means ?'those Who Have Come Down, from the Heavens to Earth.' The giants of the bible who were destroyed by the flood are the ?'gods' of the Sumerians who ?'came down to earth from heaven'. In the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha ?'Book of Enoch' the details of the Watchers are expanded upon in great detail:
I Enoch 7: ?'And they took wives unto themselves, and everyone (respectively) chose one woman for himself, and they began to go unto them. And they taught them magical medicine, incantations, the cutting of roots, and taught them about plants.'
8: ?'And Azaz'el taught the people the art of making swords and knives, and shields, and breastsplatesÂ…; Amasras taught incantation and the cutting of roots; and Armaros the resolving of incantations; and Baraqiyal astrology, and Kokarer'el the knowledge of the signs, and Tam'el taught the seeing of the stars, and Asder'el taught the course of the moon as well as the deception of man.'
What remains of the antediluvian period are the stories now relegated to myth and fantasy, and in a few cases, retold in our religious origins. The Gods of Mythology, the Nephilim of the bible, the Ntr of the Egyptians, the Annunaki of the Sumerians were the Watchers destroyed by the flood. Physical beings of flesh and blood that came to this planet and introduced to the ancient humans of prehistory the intelligence and knowledge that boggles the minds of modern day archeologists. These are the sources of our alien visits, abductions, historical oddities, and confusing aspects of the physical world. These beings were seen as ?'gods' in their times because the possessed abilities that would seem ?'godlike' even by modern standards. The story of their arrival on earth has been passed down for thousands of years as the story of the ?'gods' or ?'sons of God' who came down from heaven to earth.
The ?'Elohim', however, are a different class altogether. Elohim is most closely rendered as ?'Gods' plural , but I mention this again because modern translators render this word as ?'El' or ?'God' ?'singular' in many places in the bible. The spirit we perceive of as ?'god' is the ?'Elohim' of our planet. The ?'Elohim' of Genesis, the ?'Elohim' of Israel. In this case, the Elohim of Israel, Isis, the Holy One, the Mother Goddess, Gaia, Mother Nature, Ishtar, Astarte, Innana, or any other number of her ancient ?'pagan' names by which she was called, is the same Elohim of Genesis. I stress the difference between Elohim and Nephilim to differentiate between ?'gods' and ?'Gods', or in this case Goddesses. ALLAH, ONE GOD: above all, through all, in all: is beyond mortal comprehension. The Nephilim are physical beings of advanced capability and reason: our aliens of history and modern times.
The role the Elohim play is to set forth for mankind the manner in which man is to abide amongst man in respect and love; to present to them ?'The Way ?'(Acts 24:14), as it is often called, of spiritual advancement. The ?'Nephilim' disrupted the ?'Eden' of prehistory with their arrival upon the earth; bringing knowledge ancient man was not spiritually equipped for. These Nephilim are the false gods of the antediluvian period and the post apocalyptic demon spirits now prevalent throughout religious history. Their fame turned to myths, their legends turned to pagan religions.
The religions of the world are the tools of the immortal Elohim to guide the growth and advancement of their mortal ?'offspring'. Religion existed before knowledge to bridle the passionate nature of humanity, but after knowledge has come there is no longer any need for ?'religion'. The belief in Allah, One God, exists among the Elohim as it does among mortal humans. But the relationship between us and the Elohim of Israel is as a mother unto child. In the places of the bible we read where ?'god' has a ?'soul' and desires and feels much as we humans do. Elohim are ?'gods' because we are mortal and they are immortal; we are physical and they are spiritual. They are Elohim because of Allah.
When a point is reached in the development of a people, ?'belief' no longer suffices where knowledge is present. The time for blindly accepting what you are told and believing ?'historical' accounts as fact is over. Now you recognize the reasons for our religions; now you recognize the corruption the Roman Church has perpetrated in the guise of Christianity; now you are you no longer blind or deaf unless you chose to remain so. What is upon us now is the future of mankind. A future in which we are no longer dragged along by blind belief and ?'faith' in a religion. We are no longer incomprehensible children unable to entertain the idea of spiritual beings and higher intelligences as anything other than ?'gods'. We pride ourselves in our knowledge, yet we refuse to relinquish the infantile support of our religious systems. God is a spirit, and spirits exist. Aliens are physical and they exist. We are also physical and mortal. Life is not about wealth and riches. It is not about preparing ones body for luxury in this material world, it is about preparing ones soul for the next immaterial spiritual one. We are still the mortal ?'sons of Adam' to whom the immortal Elohim long ago brought the knowledge of God. Our future is their present. We are destined to be the sons and daughters of God; Elohim of Allah, of whom only the righteous are called.
I have presented to you Peace. Wars over religious beliefs are murders over the petty opinions of selfish men. The disputes between doctrinal beliefs merely a means to nurture hate. Religion has served to separate the cultures of mankind into warring factions of brothers and sisters descended from common ancestors. Because of personal beliefs and individual perceptions. The peace gained from this knowledge is that life is not merely about suffering and confusion. There is reason and purpose to this existence, but the truth has been so long hidden from that even the wise are ignorant concerning it. Ignorance is dead. Let knowledge prevail.
Part Three
In the last part of this series, I proclaimed to you Peace. ?'How' Peace? Throughout the history of the human race, the idea of peace is one in which there is no War. But that type of peace is an external peace. It is a peace that survives as long as the powerful mean to allow it. The peace I mean is internal; a spiritual peace. It is the peace that comes from the understanding reached when a problem is solved. It is the peace that prevails when a misunderstanding is resolved before the intense emotions become equally intense actions. It is the peace enjoyed when a small moment of reflection upon a ray of sunlight or a ripple of water calms the normally active life around us into a moment of silent being.
The topic of religion is a confusing one. Which religion? Which ?'god'? Why believe that book over this one? There is no peace in the mind of the religious doubter, one who doubts, not because they do not believe, but because what they believe does not make *sense*. How can a man be born and become God? Why would God want to be born a man? Is the ?'bible' the only ?'word' of God? Does it make any difference at all what religious doctrine we pick? Must we ?'worship' God? A God we do not understand or quite comprehend? Is ?'salvation' eternal life in heaven singing songs of worship to ?'God' forever and ever with no end? Do not the angels already provide this service? The questions are deep, but they are pondered. Even the staunchest religious zealot is found weak at times and the woes of life reduce them to tears, and though they do not face it; though they may refuse to admit it, the questions nevertheless persist: Why? Why? Why *this* way God? Why *that* person? Why *me*?
There are questions because the ?'answers' do not fit the intelligence of modern thought. There are questions because the ?'answers' are ancient and the times have changed. We do not have the same lack of understanding and comprehension our common ancestors have had. We are *not* stupid. We are the young, the generation climbing the ladder of corporate America; the generation five years into their careers, with eight years of college behind them. The generation looking forward to their remaining life of strife, struggle, and the rat race. The generation that is not afraid to question ?'God', their parents, or their priests. The generation like me: seeking to understand instead of just ?'believe'. There is proof in abundance of something ?'else' that doesn't quite add up to the ?'reality' of life. Our reality does not fit into the beliefs we have been taught or the religions we have grown up with.
But wherein lies ?'peace' when this reeks of conflict? It goes against the grain of everything we have *ever* been taught! How on earth can such a thing be possible? The point at this juncture is to impress upon you the vanity of your beliefs. They do not define, they restrict. They do not requite, they inflict. Many millions have died over religious beliefs. The doctrine of God should bring healing and unity, not death and division. God does not confuse, the confusion comes from listening to those who are already confused. The churches and Christians of this generation do not know anything about their beliefs, but they are no less convicted of them. They are no less willing to impress upon us, their youth, their beliefs with the intact impression that we aught not to disagree with them. They know better than we when it comes to the beliefs they have taught to us.
I spoke of peace because in order to achieve it, disorder must end. A drawn sword often represents the weapon of peace; an established order to be maintained at all cost. Here, as means to peace, I have also presented a sword. Truth cuts directly to the heart of falsehood, and falsehood, where it is revealed inevitably leads to ignorance. By now, the question for me must be why a ?'sword' if you proclaim ?'peace'? Why the allegory of ?'war' if the purpose here is to end that which causes it?
Because ignorance is not bliss, it is death most untimely. It is the withholding of water from the thirsty, the withholding of food from the hungry. It is the deprivation of equal opportunity and the means for all to live equally in humanity. It is the carrot that compels the work horse forward until exhaustion consumes it. It is the means by which the powerful retain their arrogant powers.
I wield Truth to reveal the vampires among our kind. The human animals who feed upon the poverty of the ignorant and the powerless. Everywhere my eyes rest I see suffering. Suffering that should not exist in light of so many religious nations. The beliefs of a child of God does not intrude upon the domain of another. The lifestyle of a child of God does not refute them as one who has ?'withdrawn' from the material world. Money equates to public status, and those who have it have status in abundance. Whether they are wealthy preachers or common thieves; it makes no difference once the money changes hands. It is not the person at all who commands respect, but the money they command that lends it to them.
Our religious leaders, however, are the representation of the helping hand of God. Their helping hands are empty when they reach out, but they rarely return that way. They take from the poor, those who need much more than they, and live off their hopes and dreams; devouring them like so many buffet entrees. But these are small fish; mostly ignorant themselves, but taking advantage of the common ignorance of their congregation and turning it into lucrative profits.
Our national leaders are the ones responsible for poverty themselves, they are the reason why hunger remains and why oppression exists. Their status and power establishes them as the source of all good in their countries, as well as equally responsible for all their wrong as well. Poverty is the result of such self-concerned leaders and principles. Hunger results when these promote foreign relations over the homeless living on their doorsteps; poverty the recourse with the investment of millions in personal projects and agendas. They walk over the dead and dying every day, greeting them and promising help, while their desiccated bodies pile up in back alleys and condemned buildings. These are the only places available to the despondent and despairing. To those who are forgotten by our leaders while they are at the task of exercising their ?'leadership'.
God is no respecter of the individual person. Personal wealth only impresses those who desire to obtain it, and most of humanity is impressed with wealth. God set forth for all men life and meaning equally, and it is not this ?'life' of servile employment to provide for the means of others. Working for pay is the lifestyle our leaders imposed upon us, forcing us to provide for our needs through labor for them; to keep us working so they don't have to.
Peace will reign when every man has his personal needs met at the personal level. When there is no struggle for every man to eat and no worry for his shelter. Truth is the beginning of Peace, but to wield it is to cut through ignorance and falsehood, and the ignorant often wish to remain so. The false do not wish to have their duplicitous natures revealed. This is why Truth is sharper than any two edged sword. It is why the pen is mightier than a razor edged sword. It cuts, regardless of personal desire or will, to the quick. It severs light from darkness regardless of one's ability to see, or lack thereof. It wounds deeper than any blade because it cuts through the fabric of the heart to the innards of the naked mind. It causes pain as real as any physical laceration, and there are those who will fight to avoid it at all costs.
The privileged and lavish lifestyles of the wealthy are their only concern; the power and influence of wealth their only interest. Our leaders are nothing different than the ?'big business' moguls they deride; they want change to prevail within their lifetimes as much as any drunk wants to be sober. Change will not come by the will of those who lead, but by the will of those they presume to lead. They should witness the revolution they have ignorantly insisted upon. Let us accommodate them.
Does this come on Books on Tape?
And Finally: Conclusion
Why do you cry freedom? Why do you rail against injustice? Why do you complain about inequality? Why are you not satisfied with your life and station? Everything this world has become, it has become because you have allowed it. You stand aside while the people who lead you further burden your lives with their ideas of how you should live. You work their jobs to increase their wealth, then complain about the size of your paycheck. You save up to buy a place to live, then complain about how much it costs just to live. You shop for the basic things you need, and you complain the entire time about the prices.
Complaining has never solved anything. The leaders hear your complaints, but they only offer you excuses or a quick fix, to placate you. They know as well as you do that you aren't going to *do* anything. But complain. Bills are high because no one stopped them from rising. Food is expensive because no one stopped them from charging for it. Homes are expensive because the most basic things *everyone* needs costs money. No one did anything to prevent it from happening. But everyone one complained about it. Everyone talks about the problems of our modern society, but everyone does nothing but talk.
What does it take to revolutionize the world? To change everything for the betterment of all? It takes desire. Change must be desired with passion and the *reason* for the need for change must be hated equally. We need change because children are dying from starvation under the care of our wealthy leaders. We need change because there is a difference between those who have money and those who do not. We need change because there is no living standard that applies to every man, woman, and child equally regardless of race and culture. The whole world needs to change.
But we need change because everyone is waiting for someone else to change it for them. I am here to tell you that nothing will change and long as you are waiting for someone to do it for you. If you are, you wait in vain. If you don't lift a finger to help, why are you expecting someone to help *you*? If you haven't worked towards meaningful progress, why do you expect someone else to? If you have done nothing to effect change, then why should anyone do *anything* to effect change for *you*? Why should anyone risk the fire of retribution for your cause when you will not risk the fire yourself?
The world is a place of suffering because the world is full of people waiting for someone to fix their problems for them. Full of people complaining about their problems, while doing nothing to change them. Those who have everything they already need are not in the least bit concerned about what everyone else needs and *don't* have.
What are *you* waiting for?

Well, I'm not surprised to see you characterize me as acting in a childish way. I'm not pouting-there is nothing about which to pout. You deny me nothing, you don't prevent me from doing anything which i wish to do. Far from assuming that you only post at this forum, i have assumed from the outset that this site is just one of many where you show up to dump your rants. That adequately explains why you disappear for such a long period of time. You're not here to discuss anything, you just want to shove your opinions down the throats of others. I could not care less if you agree with me, and operate from the assumption that you don't and that nothing i can say will change your mind. Saying that you post this drivel in many places in no wise authorizes your assumptions made a priori about those who are foolish enough to waste their time reading your claptrap. Whether at this site, or another, i continue to assert to you that you begin your looney disquisition with unwarranted assumptions about those who you expect to read your rant. You are living in a narrow little world, the limits of which are your truncated imagination, and physical laws of which are defined by your delusions.
Snotty remarks from you mean nothing to me. I read in many fora, i post in a few others. These sites, however, are either filled with the nonsensical rantings of fanatics such as you, or with the giggling, puerile potty humor and sex talk of adolescents, so most of them are worth posting in. The other site at which i most usually post, in Ireland, would laugh you off the board right quick, so i won't do the community there the disservice of providing you a link. I am not at all surprised by your nastiness--it just infurtiates you that the rest of the world won't acknowledge your "truth," doesn't it?
Soul_doctor is turning me into a holy scroller...I for one, have also noticed that you get a tad pithy when you assume people do not recognize the supposed 'truths' you are expounding. Hey, if it works for you, fantastic. Just don't push it on others who may have found enlightenment elsewhere. If you also presuppose that nobody but you are 'enlightened' as to the truth, you are seriously deluded. Seek professional help.

It is a post to the general reader, that is why it say 'our', me included. Now if you find yourself outside of that 'our', then that is well and fine. But you should be big enough, mature enough, and adult enough to bide your opinion in silence, and not to have revealed yourself for a fool.

Wow, that's the perfect example of what Setanta was talking about! Suppose this and suppose that. With only three sentences to go on, there is so much assumed and constructed beyond that.
Secondly, telling someone who they are, throughout your writing -- what they have thought, valued, or wanted, what interests and concerns them -- seems a little presumptuous.
Third, there's no need to acknowledge or address Setanta's point when you can just tell him he's a fool and shut up, the way only a mature adult can do. Why are maturity and name-calling such recurring themes in your posts?
Well, let's do it up then! Tell me all about myself Doctor.
What kind of immature child am I? Please describe me.
How have I been living my life so far? Please put me down.
I'm eager to be overwhelmed by things "beyond immediate comprehension" and finally begin to live responsibly
with shocking new revelations that I'm not capable of understanding.
If I can only stop being such an idiot in your eyes, that would be very nice.
Teach me how to finally be an adult. Show me. Please demonstrate.

A 'perfect' example you say. Yet you didn't even specifiy the example you were refering to. That sounds like assumption to me on your part. Yet you are here to call the kettle black. Have you ever watched a local news edition? Or better yet, a national one? Notice how they talk about everyone else except themselves?: *your* local weather, *your* world today, *your* societal problems. So why can they address all of *you*, but I cannot? Do you call them to deride them of their presumptions about you? Or do you sit back and accept what you perceive as 'authoritative' information? The talking heads all over the televisions exclude themselves from the events they report on, and most people, in general, listen without care for objectivity. But you say I am being presumptuous for doing the same thing. In a spiritual forum to general public no less. Oh my, bad, bad, bad me.
f you are so excited about being overwhelmed them maybe you should take the time to read what I have wrote instead of listening to yourself think about it. I'ave made no assumptions about you, as a matter of fact until two minutes ago, you didn't exist. So you and the other don't like my post about the Unity of Man, the death of selfishness and stupidity. Fine. I've met people like you many dozens of times in the past few months and on the dozen or so other boards I post to. There is always one or two who jump into the fray with both feet before looking. Always.
As for your breakdown of my post, you've obviously missed the point of the exercise, and it was not to present myself to you for your personal inspection. That you didn't make it pass the first few paragraphs is obvious, you're only addressing what you think of me, and not addressing the content at all. Which is exactly what the other guy did. I guess he thought I was intruding upon his forum then too.
As for what I think of you, I need not think at all. You've settle the issue in your post. I think you can conlcude what that is, since your post is so full of conclusions.
Enjoy.
My television gathers dust--i only use it to play console video games, and i've not played one in quite a while. I don't watch the new on televions, either the local variety or the national--ironically, because of the lack of genuinely useful information present, as a result of the unwarranted assumption news programming producers make about their potential audiences.

This is the line of yours to which i originally objected, and it is the point from which i and, i believe, CodeBorg depart in accusing you of making unwarranted assumptions. You haven't a clue what "we" have been taught all of our lives, and that applies in the other fora you pollute, as well as this one. Your forensic skills are weak to nonexistant, and your self-delusion so total, that there is no means of getting across to you that you haven't answered anyone's criticisms here. I'd wager you won't answer in a coherent fashion, because your too wrapped up in your "truth"--quite apart from never having demonstrated any ability to engage in an ordinary rhetorical exchange.

Seriously deluded. Hrm, I suppose that's what they used to say to Jesus when we was trying to tell everyone who wasn't poor and downtrodden and destitute what they were doing wrong. In the end, they killed him because they didn't want to hear it any more. I wonder if the same thing will happen to me.
Almost every sentence of what I write very few want to hear. It's too Pithy... lol. Sounds like you've been watching O'reilly. I quit watching the news months ago. Which is probably why I notice they never talk about anything important only what they believe to be. Well I believe this to be important. With over 50 views and just 3 or 4 people replying, maybe I am having an impact on the silent minds. Those willing to check the facts. It's the only thing I want. Test what I say.
PROVE ME WRONG.
Please.
The same thing won't happen to you because you're not Jesus. Those willing to check what facts?
I'm sure you only pursue your deluded course in the belief that you are "having an impact" on someone's mind, silent or otherwise. Console yourself, Superstition MD, tell yourself you have made many converts to your light. Then tell yourself your work here is done, and either lighten up and join our rather friendly community, or go bother someone else with your screed.
BTW, Cav, i forgot to mention, "holyscoller" really cracked me up . . .

No. I am not Jesus. But I *am* like him.
Yep. Name, dates, and information. I have my sources to share as well.

Actually, I have had an impact on people who have read my posts. The vast majority of the people who reply to my posts do not like what they read, and by association me, but there are some I have met who have made my efforts worth while. So no, not everyone attacks me as deluded, but often they accuse me of being judgemental, arrogant, and self-righteous. I get that all the time.
I have joined your community, and I have made no intentional enemies. What enemies I may have, made themselves my enemy. If any one of you guys wanted to engauge me one on one concerfning the content of my post I will gladly go through every single line beside you. This post is about understanding. It is ONLY about understanding. It is not about my beliefs, your religion, or anyone else's opinion. It is about honor and respect, and my efforts to see honor and respect imparted to those deserving of such things. Like the poor and hungry. Who honors and respects them?
Certainly not the world, in general. But I intend to see that change. Starting right here, right now. With, or without, community support.
Oh, how very noble you are. I'm sure you sleep the sleep of the self-righteous every night. I'm so happy for you.
If this initial post is indicative of the thoughts you've shared in all these other fora you mentioned, my guess is you could hold a convention of everyone you've influenced in a phone booth.
You have some thoughts that may be worthwhile, but your presentation is presumptuous and insulting.
Regroup!
Stop being a messiah. I doubt if anyone will ever buy "great truths" "revealed" the way you offer yours.

Before this gets ugly, I'll stand down and ignore you. I'll not let you ignite my ire. I could most certainly entertain your tactics and stoop to your level of intolerance. You accuse me of 'pre'sumption, but have consistenly assumed personal conclusions about me. Guess what sort of animal you are turning out to be.
Stumble It!
