The Hierarchical Problem That Arises When Two Or More People Meet Who Draw Their Authority From The God
Ok, let's make this short and quick.
Allow me to explain you a certain archetypical situation and the root-cause of all the misunderstanding and fighting when it comes to the question of 'The God'.
It's always the same problem - always !
I'll give you a perfect example:
I'm talking to an old friend of mine (the specifics are not important here) and for whatever it is worth he is claiming that he is kind of 'talking and chatting with The God' almost daily and, after 15 years of really very intensive political and activist work he has become somewhat tired, feeling lonely and disappointed by his fellow Austrians and Europeans in their non-existent efforts for peace, freedom and truth, he started to proclaim that this 'The God' is telling him this and that and he is the commander for world-peace and god told him this and god told him that and he has to warn and guide mankind and is threatening punishment and whatnot ever else.
So, now we have to be very sensitive here when observing this situation.
What is actually happening here ?
See, the one thing is this whether someone can talk/pray/communicate/meditate/visualize to and with whatever 'other beings or non-physical entities or forces' and whether such beings/entities/possibilities do actually exist or not.
But that is not the point here. It's not the really important point.
I have absolutely no problem whatsoever if you or him or anybody else or the whole world is talking with whatever spiritual entities ... and even they call this god or 'The God'. No problem, you are free to do whatever you want.
So, I asked him very clearly and precisely what he is 'experiencing' and what exactly is going on. (I'm always in my whole life a spiritual guy, so naturally I'm interested in such situations and I want to know.) So, I asked what this The God is, what he means: Is it literally or metaphorically and I dug into him and squeezed him a little bit so he confirmed like ,' Yeah, it is this The God - The Creator-Boss-God'.
Again, till here, no problem for me with that at all. You claim to communicate and experience the god, the absolute ultimate The Creator-God...fine, good for you, if it makes you joyful I love it, no problem at all.
But ... then I asked even further: "Tell me, this The God, The Boss who is talking to you and promising things and giving you jobs and orders to do and to speak in his name to mankind, is he The Boss in the sense that he is Your Boss or is he talking to you as My Boss as well ?"
Well, and I insisted in that very crucial detail and pressed him to answer me ... and sadly he confirmed that in his view - his (pseudo-)hallucinations - he is talking to something/someone/some entity that is The Boss - meaning The Boss of all and thus My Boss, too and he understood very well what detail I was explicitly asking for and he - almost smirkingly - confirmed it.
So, in short he is claiming that he is talking to The Boss and The Boss of All of us is giving singularly him orders from The Boss which he has to distribute and execute. So, in a sense he is claiming that The Boss has given him authority over me (and everybody else for that matter).
All I could do was laughing ...but a very sad laughter because I feel pity with him.
Well, and that's what is the dirty little secret on the bottom of the religious Rabbit Hole ... it's always like this. It's just a question of enough time and a powerful enough position for the believer to step into that dirty trap.
That's in a sense what ALL BOOK-THE-BOSS-GOD-RELIGION-BELIEVERS are doing. What a sad, ridiculous and pathetic parody of spirituality that is !
That's what All Institutionalized Religion is at it's core about: A Tool of Narration to take over and possess the others from the inside !
Per lawful definition a fiction can never be disproven !
I Have To Confess: I Hate Religious Apologists
Yep, if there's one thing I really hate, it is this:
Apologists of all kinds - especially religious apologists, Biblical and Evangelical apologists, Jewish/Talmudic apologists, Muslim apologists, Messianic apologists, scientific apologists, Brahmani apologists and all the other variants of apologists.
See, the jig is up - longtime already but the apologist can't accept and cope with Reality & Truth so he keeps on denying and apologizing in all sorts of ways - like the proverbial chess player who lost and then he is tossing away the chess board as to undo the evidence of his failure.
I hate and detest that mind-set and that lack of honor and integrity and Manhood.
To me that's the mentality of a pussy.
What the apologist doesn't understand - among so many other things - is that, per lawful definition, a fiction can per definition never be disproven !
That is the nature of a fiction, stupid. So, to stay with and within a fiction until it is officially disproven is per definition a Never-Ending-Story ... Dang, Trapped forever!
And that is precisely the con and cheat and intent behind all of this: To be trapped in a fictious ever-changing-and-morphing not-true and not-real impossible to be disproven lie of nothingness while searching for something that doesn't exist is THE DESIRED GOAL OF YOUR ENEMY because like this he has 100% control over you and thus can literally suck you dry.
Well, although I am not really too much into that because I have never been into one of the Abrahamic Cults for real, so I never had the urge to disprove any of that hardcore-style because I never believed any of that in the first place (And I'm in no other cult as well, none at all).
You could say that I've never had a personal kind of beef with any of these pseudo-gods and pseudo prophets, so for me it wasn't too hard and too difficult to FORGIVE THIS GOD AND TO FORGIVE THIS JESUS on a personal level.
I personally, never fell for him, so that part is easy but my fellow brothers and sisters fell for him a lot, well, and that part is not so easy to forgive.
But never the less I dug into this huge biblical scholar scene for a while now and, oh boy, I am amazed what is going on there - positively amazed by this new generation of superb scholars - most of them EX(!)-believers of various kinds who have studied extensively all the languages, translations, excavations and whatnot and lo and behold:
By now the scholary evidence is so overwhelmingly clear that ALL ABRAHAMIC RELIGIONS ARE INSPIRED AND BORN OUT OF THE LIE - PERIOD !
Anyway, to me, although I truly like the freshness of their minds and the fearlessness in their search for truth and their integrity and authenticity, that's all kind of boring for I Am a Seer, so I prefer to go by the saying of our dear good old Bob Marley:
"How many rivers do I have to cross, before I can talk to The Boss !"
To me, that's what spirituality is all about and nothing else and nothing less, I think this is obvious and I can't really understand why people don't get it.
All the other stuff is nice and sweet and wonderful and intellectual amusement and talking and socializing and whatnot beautiful human endeavor but all this is not the essential thing - it's just nice and sweet ornament and garnishment.
