Yep! Monotheistic religions are no different than the state.
They controlled information and set what was "moral" just like science, politics, and economics do today.
"I believe humanity's foray into fiction began with the breakdown of the bicameral mind, and the insertion of meaningless symbols in between the subject and the seer. In short, back when people used pictographic alphabets, we were limited to discussing things we could actually see in the real world. The invention of phonemic alphabets like this one, which are comprised not of representative pictures but of meaningless letters, provides the opportunity to invent an endless stream of non-sense, the greatest of these being spelled with just a single capital letter."
Your psychiatry interlude is extremely fascinating, Daniel! I have also suggested in conversations that if someone claims that, say, God ordered them to take somebody else's property, was it God? Is that person possessed in a Christian sense of the word? Does the person have schizophrenia? Is the person making it up in order to steal with impunity? Many things to ponder
The concept of Possessions is in many thought systems. In reality anything can "posess" the mind. Greed, envy or any of the other 7 sins.
However, what is missing from the 7, is the possession called Fear.
Why this is the case I hoped people would figure out on their own, but most havent.
So the reason why Fear is left out of the 7 sins is that if people resolved the possession of fear from their hearts / minds / souls, 1 half of the animal control system that uses reward and punishment wouldn`t work.
I`m hoping that people connect the dots, that a Heaven Hell motivation and control systems have external controls such as money and power that only work if there are internal possessions like fear and greed.
A clear mind, free of all possessions can see the world truthfully.
Bingo! It’s the Babylonian Rabbinical canon mishmashed by the Hasmonean Pharisees who were declared “not Jews” by the Holy Creator Father God, Jesus of Nazareth, TWICE in the last book of the WORD, Rev 2:9 and 3:9. Messiah began his mission at Bethabara not Jerusalem. So any books not found there may be garbage.
Thank you Tessa for your honest and soulful sharing. One thought I had after reading this post was “how did Jesus treat women and how did He speak to them?” My faith is that He is the Son of God and the standard. As an Orthodox Christian, I love and pray for the clergy however I understand they are human just like me. As I ask God to forgive me, I forgive others too. Another thing I love (pun intended) about Christianity is that the commandments start with the word “Love.” God’s love and peace to you 🙏🏼
the joke here is how ridiculous it is to think that anyone could be forcibly converted. put a gun to my head and, sure, i'll worship microsoft, klaus schwab, taylor swift, whatever, all of them if you don't point that damn gun away from me.
but once you take that gun away i'm going right back to my old worldview, thank you lord for sparing me from those fanatics!
and anyone who believes a coerced conversion could be genuine has no idea of how spirituality works. for example, it would be unthinkable for a real christian to try to give anyone their damascus road moment. that kind of illumination and transcendence requires a willing recipient and a set of circumstances far more complex than just a sitdown with a minister, whether that person's intentions might be sincerely misinformed, or more sinister.
Agreed! They may have no idea how spirituality works, or they may actually be desiring to do a wicked thing that has nothing to do with the truth, or with love, or with God
Thank you again and again to bring back the philosophical thinking in all of us… that spiritual link between mind and soul, between us and the earth, .. between bare existence and life .
Unless we fight back to regain that spiritual link, all will be lost!
Thank you so much for your kind words!! I don't want to take the credit for leading battles, I try to be honest and share my findings, hoping that what I figure out with the help of those wiser than me helps other people!! We all need each other...
Thank YOU, Brother John!! :-) Sometimes "the Divine" gets overused by charlatans but of course the Divine is still the Divine, it's the charlatans who fool themselves.
Hmmm... I enjoyed reading this, for the question has been on my mind, how that return to the Eastern church worked after communism. Interesting stuff.
I grew up in very different circumstances, after ww2, baby boomer, I guess. I was baptized in a liberal protestant church, my sister 2.5 years younger was not, so my parents left the church in that period, and they were in that "spiritual, not religious" category. So I did grow up with a Bible, but also advaita (Krishnamurti, Sri Ramakrishna, Sris Ramana Maharshi, etc.) and Sufism, Judaism, Bahai and other influences. To me, religion in all its forms is the worldly veneer over spirituality, and it sterilizes it, makes it harmless. That is how it could become the official religion of the Roman Empire. (see https://rogiervanvlissingen.substack.com/p/jesus-in-the-course-and-the-bible?r=8tut8)
Well put. People who settle for 'living by the word of a book' because they are guarenteed salvation for doing so are often as venal (or more) as those without any books because writers of books have an agenda or their editors do (See Nicean Council that threw out the gnostic gospels that paint a far different picture of early christianity than the church will admit).
True spirituality lies beneath the veil and once one travels there one discovers it's unity.
a course in miracles is NOT christian/religious/a cult even though it seems like it at first glance. and some might treat it thus. humans, what are they like ? ! [ ego driven, that's what ]
had it been scribed later the language would have been different. the language 60/ years ago + a freudian slant ....
my lesson today, ... Let me be still and listen to the truth.
⁴I am the messenger of God today, my voice is His, to give what I receive. (https://acim.org/acim/en/s/510#10:3-4 | W-106.10:3-4) makes sense once one has got this far, read some of the text or books/videos about the course + some of us see the holy spirit as holy mother, whole different slant it gets. the relentless male language , also brother used to, still gets to me.
From my angle, there are major flaws lurking again in the "theory in progress": relationship with parents and authority... Like WHO? Or the police authority forcing people to be jabbed to death? I really don't get the point with authority here. Regarding parents, why not grandparents? Ever pondered about the well-known fact that in some families the genius is hidden every other generation? That should give a clear clue for another set of bugfixes for the theory being cooked to make sense. Regarding "mandates" in common sense systems mostly, well, the rules of tennis shouldn't make anyone feel full of holes and small, they are there to avoid problem situations only. For the rest of the time we are free to enjoy, if we have prepared well enough, playing in God mode only :D
Always good to re-visit 'Stomping Ground' , Tessa .
It's always meant to be raw , honest , from the heart
thank you for sharing your new inspiration , may it catch on with many others...
I would love to hear your thoughts on a presentation on Christian Forums titled
'Does the Mandelbrot Set prove the Mind of God behind what we see' ?
It is in all of us , sadly many had their connection deliberately disrupted , broken or even destroyed by the same anti-live forces that try to enslave our souls in the I-YOU-WE-Cloud and feed of us.
NO THANKS !!!!
stay strong in your fight against the robots and may a satisfactory financial windfall come your and your parents way.

Powerful article - thank you Tessa. GOD's Will = Love. My Soul is not for sale. The Truth shall set us Free & our Lord lives in the Light of Truth.
Thank you, Susan!! xoxo
Thank you again and again to bring back the philosophical thinking in all of us… that spiritual link between mind and soul, between us and the earth, .. between bare existence and life .

Thank you for leading this battle!
Thank you so much for your kind words!! I don't want to take the credit for leading battles, I try to be honest and share my findings, hoping that what I figure out with the help of those wiser than me helps other people!! We all need each other...
We are all in this battle together .. but it is good to have a kind soul to help us organising our feelings
We all need each other more than ever and I thank you again to push us to think !
Rather than say (even to myself) "God's Will", I usually say "The Divine", or something with less baggage for people with buttons all over them.
I understand having those buttons, and I want to help, not hinder.
Thank You, Sister Tessa.
Thank YOU, Brother John!! :-) Sometimes "the Divine" gets overused by charlatans but of course the Divine is still the Divine, it's the charlatans who fool themselves.
True dat
Wow, so powerful. Thank you Tessa.

Dear Tessa, much joy and support and encouragement to you; and this dissertation well backs up your keen percerion of religion vs God.
