Fundamentalist Christians and its Wrong Approach to Spiritual Teachings (19):
Occultism and Post-awakening Natures:

Conflicting Conspiracy theories [Posted initially on 12th April 2021]: In the last post, I mentioned that Flat-Earth Fundamentalists (Christians) tend to perpetuate a theocratic agenda in light of a Flat-Earth paradigm. [Maybe they are unaware of their actions, but it’s there]. Will Duran’s Caesar and Christ describe Constantine’s intention to save the Roman Empire through Christianity, which brought Western Europe into the Dark Ages? Durant denotes Edward Gibbon; “Christ’s victory had been Rome’s Death.”
It would seem history is on its way to repeating itself, at least for monotheistic religions like Evangelicalism and Protestantism, whose eschatological viewpoint is centred on a religious belief that’s based on literalism. This would, in turn, show itself in the form of interest: Evangelicals that support Jews and the Zionist movement. Alongside this support of Israel, there is the futurist development of the literal coming of New Jerusalem/Jesus Christ [second coming]. “The fact that evangelical Christians express such interest and a sense of shared destiny with Jews and Israel is both fascinating and peculiar given the long-standing anti-Semitism embraced by many Christians and their secular and religious authorities. A shift away from historical anti-Semitism began during the early days of the Protestant Reformation.” – Cambridge University Press.
The British promise to assist in establishing a national homeland in Palestine was inspired by evangelical support. Another interest for Israel was its connections and predictions of the second coming of Jesus. Books [religious novels] would emerge out of this contention, popularizing the evangelical support of Israel. Of course, these authors/preachers would add their blend of futurist context. These books outline Jews and how the State of Israel plays a central role at the end of the day. Gorenberg identifies the “one potential evangelical motivation to support Israel is grounded in messianic expectations and participation in the divine plan for redemption.” (Gorenberg)
What I’m trying to get at is to point out the parallel between Protestantism’s need to return to a primitive form of Christianity, almost a Judaic form of Christianity. That uses messianism as a way of politics to move government with their military-industrial backing as a modern-day crusade for another theocratic empire. This attempt is somewhat different from other historical theocratic empires that came before. This is due to a denial of the Trinity and that their version of Sola Scriptura is what sets them apart. Sola Scriptura denies early Christian traditions other than the tradition of the canon of scripture [selective acceptance and goal post moving again]. These types of issues were plentiful back in the day of early reformers. They had no resolution then, and none exist today; divisions have increased, and sola scriptura has been doctrinal chaos.
David Icke brought this modern-day crusade apparent to public consciousness through his lectures outlining Zionism as Rothschild-Zionism. He outlines that there is a clear distinction between Jews and (political) Rothschild-Zionism. The majority of Jews are not familiar with the Talmud in which the initiated elite Jews are, and that Jewish people are victims to the Zionists. He says Rothschild-Zionism is not anti-Semitism because Zionism is not about Jewish people and is predominantly a political system putting its secret agencies in power. Zionism and Judaism are opposed, and the Rothschild dynasty created Israel. It outlines that Jews are only two per cent of America, yet they dominate the controlling money for both Democrats and Republicans. Only three countries are left without a Rothschild-controlled central bank: Iran, North Korea, and Cuba. He describes Palestine as a perfect example for the definition of Genocide in which Israel (Political-Zionists) have systematically taken over their land (nation) and racial and religious infrastructure with violence and death.
As a reaction to this fundamentalist-Christian-conspiracy-groups who follow dispensational ideals as well as a belief in a sort of singular monolithic conspiracy of Cabal [out of Earth -Satan, back to earth – Jesuits/Illuminati, etc.] running the show can’t ignore this aspect. To do so would mean disregarding your whole foundation for a New Jerusalem as well as denying Evangelical support for Zionist Israel. So, they promote a Jesuit conspiracy – by claiming that the Jesuits and the Vatican are responsible for the creation of Zionism. Is there merit to this argument, or is it essentially truther/Christian-fundamentalist propaganda for dialectical debate over the conspiracy of power between Jesuits and Zionism?
Fundamentalist-Conspiracy-Groups ascribe to Eric Jon Phelps – a self-proclaimed Jesuit expert that’s part of the Evangelical, anti-Lucifer, and anti-Catholic groups that believe Catholicism is secretly worshipping Babylonian King Nimrod or the potentiality of that (Babylon Messiah). His claims or conspiracy-(theory) entail a disruption of the cosmic order by which the Catholic Church [the Vatican] will put into power a satanic position, the Babylon Messiah. [Well … if you describe apostolic succession this way, of course, you’ll sell more books]. Jon Phelps himself was ousted as an Israeli Diamond Trader, which leads truthers to conclude that he was a Zionist shill, a possible white supremacist, or a Jesuit Temporal coadjutor. This isn’t very clear when you’re all the above, from all the extremes.
He believes the Jesuit order created Jewish-labor-Zionist [Rothschild-Zionism] came from their Fabian socialist in Britain. Beatrice Sidney Webb and Bernard Shaw were part of this group, which was formed in 1884. This group was also implicated in Orwell’s 1984 writing. As well as supposedly being responsible for communism in Russia. I tried to find evidence or text supporting this claim that Fabian-Socialists created Zionism, and all I saw was not its inception but support or sympathy for Zionism during the war effort [the world wars]. Nor did I find any evidence to support the claim they instigated communism in Russia. Besides being an intellectual think tank for specific political alignments and educational institutions, it also plays host to the movers and shakers of policy or political influencers of that time.
Most of this claim is brought about by a disdain towards intellects such as Annie Besant, head of the Theosophical Society, after the death of Blavatsky, who was among intellects who were part of the first members.[ It remains, however, simply one of many pressure groups in the complex patchwork of power in the modern world, and attempts by twentieth-century conspiracy theorists to define it as the “One Big Conspiracy” have little in common with the relatively modest reality of its influence and achievements. – Element Encyclopedia of Secret Societies]
There is also an obvious straw man tactic being played here. I don’t know how many of these assumptions are true, but for any bold claims, outside external forces/ factors/context and memory must always be considered. Eric Jon Phelps’s conspiracy theories conflict because they have many contradictory claims. As well as (false)-labelling people as Jesuit infiltrators or coadjutors, and no one is safe from this labelling: any prominent political figures from left or right. To him, Jesuits are responsible for any conspiratorial notions known to be sinister, from skulls and bones to Rothschild. All of these: ‘all roads lead to Rome conspiracy’ come clear when you realise that his intention lacks credibility because it’s coming from an Evangelical and Protestant conspiratorial lens. This means being pro-Zionism as well as conveying a slanderous imposition on the Catholic Church, exemplified in claiming the Jesuits are responsible for Communism and Nazism alike.
What’s happening here is a type of narrative play through disinformation consolidating information about certain institutions, governments, secret societies, events, and so forth – to maintain a censored form through sensationalism. Ideologues loyal to either side do not matter in this case – as opposites are nullified through a monolithic Cabal, but it’s never that simple. There is a clear bias to swap the blame from Zionism to Jesuit.
Along with it, a need to perpetuate a fear of uncertainty under the guise that Jesuits are formulating a big war, a coming World War Three, and that it would not be enough for one general to orchestrate it all, so he believes they’re going to need two black-popes. Black pope is the unofficial title that conspiracy -theorists came up with to describe the position of Superior General of the Order of the Jesuits.
The War in Heaven – and the Mandate for Heaven on Earth: This is made clear when you have two vying factions for the mandate of Heaven. What is the mandate for Heaven? The mandate for Heaven is an assertion from Philip. K.Dick’s book Valis – which describes our geo-political situation on earth, is a reflection of the cosmic relationship that we have with the Demiurge. That we live in an autocratic police state system and matrix-like financial control grid [slaves to our political/elite masters] – is also due to this reflection of what’s going on with the larger cosmic universe. In which we are enslaved or imprisoned by Demiurge.
This concept can be broken down or simplified as disrupting the cosmic order in heaven (the spiritual world) and its connection to contemporary social and political movements. This can be illustrated by the competition among various factions that believe they have a stake or are chosen to fulfil a prophesied revelation, with Jerusalem playing a central role. In this context, the mandate of heaven is significant, along with the notion of a war in heaven.
Eric Jon Phelps is playing (or adopting) the Protestant/Evangelical mandate for a New Jerusalem and the second coming of Christ. Naturally, his political rivals with different ideologies or religions are these supposed dark forces, and the team he plays for are the light. The most dangerous types of cults are those who think they are not villains but are a force for good.
In reaching this goal, Phelps describes a two-way eschatological process: the first being Jesus Christ, for all the authority has been given to him pursuing Mathew 28:18:19, which offers him juror control. The second is the devil/Satan, in which he has de-facto control. These two heads of Kingdoms need to complete their prophecy. Israel must be re-gathered or reconstituted as a nation so it can enter into the time of the 78 weeks of years of the prophet of Daniel (Daniel: 9:24:27). So there is a future time in which Israel will be re-purposed so when the devil attempts to destroy the Jews, the messiah will come (or return), and the Jews will look upon him and realise the one they hated from its inception is the one that’s going to deliver them. For this to happen, there must be a habitat of Jerusalem with Jews –this is the biblical position – in the satanic position; Satan wanted to establish his Babylon Messiah since the day Adam fell. This anti-Christ is represented as the Babylon Messiah, which is described as the final Pope dying and coming (resurrecting) back to life. For this to happen there must be an Israel, a third temple and a rebuilt city of Babylon.
So here he introduced apostolic succession but described it especially, where the solar ritual has become part of eschatological revelation examined through the opposite. The anti-Christ can only appear through the final pope, who will die and come back to life as the anti-Christ/Babylon Messiah. What’s happening here is an example of ideological simplicity being played out while keeping the eschatological key point absolute, with a need to attach variations of the futurist narrative around those key points. For instance, the space Cube/New Jerusalem landing in the sacred-Centre – to Phelps’s version of redemption for Jewish people through the enlightenment of Jesus, but won’t happen if there is no habitat or a New Jerusalem.
Any disruption or resistance to that mission contradicts the cosmic order. This is where the characteristics of war come into play. All forms of evil, hatred, and murder stem from this underlying concept. It is the very thing Christ came to abolish; ironically, Christ has been adopted as the symbol to further this mission. Historical analysis reveals that various movements gained prominence in Medieval Europe, anticipating the Second Coming of Christ as an imminent event. Many of these groups focused on the First Crusade (1096–1099), which was perceived as a holy war leading to the end of days.
A modern examination of this historical event takes on a new Protestant or evangelical perspective. One aspect to consider is the U.S. rationale for war—specifically, the response to post-9/11, which included the goal of eliminating weapons of mass destruction. This approach may distract the U.S. populace from the Military’s efforts to acquire historical artifacts from Iraq’s museums. It raises the possibility that these artifacts are essential for advancing the preparation and mandate of the New Jerusalem initiative. Additionally, some analyses perpetuate conspiracy theories, where individuals claim to represent the public’s voice but ultimately serve as perception managers with their agendas. For example, theorists like Phelps assert that the Jesuits orchestrated a large-scale war reminiscent of World War III. He suggests that it won’t be sufficient for a single general to direct such a conflict; instead, they will require the leadership of two “black popes.” The term “black pope” is an unofficial label created by conspiracy theorists to describe the position of the Superior General of the Jesuit Order.
Of course, this all ties back to old myths concerning Lucifer (or Prometheus), angelic gods who upset the order by taking the light (the faculty of thinking) and giving it to humanity, thus upsetting the cosmic order (there have also been other incidents in heaven, evident throughout historical myth, that caused some other cosmic disruptions).
Phelps would have you believe it was a means to fast-track the final position to become the Babylon messiah. Still, as we know, this is an added narrative borrowing from historical myth – the mythical resurrection. The singular monolithic conspiracy of Cabal that works for Satan/Lucifer [Lucifer is not Satan; more on this later] in this case, Satan is realized in the evolution of the final pope’s ascendancy – is followed by the outgrowth of Satan having a plan, and that his in charge and his lieutenants are the Illuminati and the New World Order.
In the Babylonian version of Lucifer, he was not the devil; he was more akin to the “firstborn son of God” and the “shepherd of mankind” who was “the door” that blocked the gods of war. He was even called on to drive out demons (parallel with Jesus). The Babylonian Lucifer defended his people with “Zeal.” Lucifer is the latest incarnation comparatively to other historical incarnations of the past; he was condemned and exiled in an age where heavenly authority shared common ground with the collective consciousness of the people. He is bound to be freed in an age when authority is seen as corrupt and illegitimate, no matter where you sit on the ideological spectrum. Lucifer’s mythical history goes back to the twenty-fifth century before Jesus, and he was called upon by magicians and sorcerers for thousands of years – Sumerian, Akkadian, and Babylonian Magi; the Jewish people also recognized his elemental power. Lucifer was a god of the people and not the temple and was called upon when things seemed to hit an apocalyptic level.
Fundamentalism’s whole ideology is dependent on the absolute, especially towards biblical key points, but with slight flexibility towards a narrow version of the imagination – and along with it, a need to conflate certain types of truths [like the literal word of God], and that their interpretation and understanding of that ‘word’ is the only correct and accurate translation. There is an assumption of omniscience that gets passed on as truth to God – and this is what fundamentalism is. Together with conspiracy theory – it has a habit of formulating its truth, and fundamentalist Christians mostly create it. Given that fundamentalism conflates their interpretation and passes it on as truth to God – they attach that same principle to any other subjects, ideas, conspiracies, entertainment, art, imagination, and so forth to any argument they deem wrong. The validation is there before the proof, debate or analysis, and anything regarding what they preach swings in their favour by default. Given that most of their audience is symbolically illiterate and deprived of knowledge of myths.
This could be a product of an inherent dysfunction; Conspiracy-theorist describes United States history as founded by two parallel forces, one, the Christian, and two, the occult dating back to the 1600s. The god-fearing Christians known as Puritans (pilgrims) came to the New World to seek religious freedom from the Church of England, the Anglican Church. This event paved the way to define the United States as a Christian nation, but other groups settled that weren’t Christians. These groups were deep in Masonic secrecy, deep in esoteric teachings; this included the forefathers, and during the time of the declaration, those people were involved in Masonry; however, at the same time, most of them were also Christians.
There is romanticism portraying pilgrims as colonialists who broke away from tyranny. The lives of those Puritans in the New World were harsh, with a high death rate and consuming evil – that can only be likened to the kinds of evils that Christian conspiracy truthers label satanic.
Theocratic Empire vs. Theocratic Empire: The quest for New Jerusalem and its mandate for heaven on earth is a rope in a tug of war played by two opposing factions [… well, that’s what we are led to believe] between modern crusaders and right-centric-middle-United-States with their religious supporters; protestant/evangelicals/Zionism – against the Vatican who wishes to seize control of the old city of Jerusalem out of the clutches of the State of Israel. This is history repeating itself with different variations on the fundamentalist aspect of that purpose.
Constantine’s intention to save the Roman Empire through Christianity brought Western Europe into the Dark Ages. Constantine’s change of faith was shocking at the time, and spiritual visions were behind the reason for that change. At first, Constantine was a sun-god believer; he saw himself in the image of Apollo. Many visions inspired his conversion from Polytheism to Christianity. Constantine saw a cross-shaped trophy formed from light resting above the sun, and attached to it was the word ‘by this conquer.’ The symbol was the Chi-Rho symbol. He also claimed Apollo came to him in a vision and prophesied he would live a long life and rule the world. Romans often associate Apollo with the sun and even identify Apollo with Sol-Invictus. Many coins depict the Sun-god; some coins depict Constantine standing beside the sun-God. He believed in a more syncretized version of the Christian g/God as a solar god. Something else must have changed his mind so drastically; maybe it’s akin to what Christians call born again. So, he tied that vision of Apollo to Jesus. Constantine’s conversion to Christianity didn’t come in an instant but a gradual process throughout that era.
Constantine had a complicated relationship with traditionalists; he ordered the destruction of Pagan temples and transferred money from those temples into his government. At the same time, he set up Pagan statues of the sun-god sol-Invictus – and he associated himself with Neo-Platonist philosophers. He was a savvy politician who needed to work with the imperial bureaucracy, which was primarily pagan, without alienating them. The conversion meant a gradual change. What he did in the name of Christianity seemed more in tune with a tyrant king [murder and war] than a Christian by today’s standards. Over time, pagan-gods depictions disappeared through his coinage, and he became a henotheist for Jesus Christ and Christianity.
Catholic-Christianity is under threat by right-wing propaganda like online Right-wing journalist sites like ‘Trumpet.com’ which promoted the ‘all roads lead to Rome’ conspiracy theory by focusing on the testimonial of Cardinal Bea corresponding to Alberto Rivera – a supposed Jesuit who defected to Protestant-Fundamentalism. Rivera’s credibility is questioned; his Status as a Catholic priest turned out to be false, nor was he a Bishop. Most of Phelps’s Conspiratorial claims come from Rivera’s allegations towards Catholicism that the Jesuits are a monolithic Cabal responsible for communism Nazism – the world wars, the assassination of Lincoln and Kennedy – the masterminds of the medieval Inquisition, and so forth.
Take what you will from this – it seems evident upon an either/or extremes, but an all-encompassing monolithic Cabal built upon by guilt through association is not research. They are creating more work for other researchers who must parse most of these false claims. If it’s about guilt by association, both parties are to blame, considering both interlocks with the Rothschilds. At one stage, the Pope borrowed money from the Rothschilds:
Researcher Eustace Mullins writes that the Rothschilds took over all the financial operations of the worldwide Catholic Church in 1823. Today the large banking and financial business of the Catholic Church is an extensive system interlocked with the Rothschilds and the rest of the International Banking system. (Top 13 Illuminati Bloodlines, p.154) |
.
At the same time, there is Rothschild-Zionism [a David Icke term] that implies Zionism is corporate-funded by the Rothschilds. Zionism is favoured by religious and political leaders coming from Protestant/Evangelical denominations of the United States. From which they’re also under the thumb of higher banking corporations – hence the name Rothschild-Zionism. As well as other higher corporate powers of Europe – this means right-centric Christian conspiracy groups must accept that those they follow as their spokesperson for their conservative ideal follow ideas of the external world – and not so much so for their separatist ideals and paranoia. These external ideals are technocratic based, aiming to hyper-specialise technologies.
The supposed testimonial of Cardinal Bea corresponding to Dr. Rivera outlined what he heard through secret briefings. A Jesuit named Augustina Bea showed how desperately the Roman Catholics wanted Jerusalem at the end of the third century. Because of its religious history and strategic location, the Holy City was considered a priceless treasure. A scheme had to be developed to make Jerusalem a Roman Catholic city. So the Catholic Church or the Vatican wanted the city of Jerusalem because they knew how much spiritual significance the city is; Jerusalem is also known as heaven from Galatians 4:26: “But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.” This spiritual significance is said to be the driving force for the creation of Islam. So, the Romans once possessed the city, but during its fall, it was taken over by heathens, so they made a plan (the creation of Islam) to take that land back. What Cardinal Bea shared in the Vatican was evidence (writings) that linked the Vatican to the creation of Islam, in which Rivera was present. Rivera wanted to defect from the Church, and the Church, knowing how much he knew, was aware of such information being exposed. According to Phelps, the Vatican also helped finance the building of these massive Islamic armies in exchange for three favours: 1. Eliminate the Jews and Christians (true believers, they’re called infidels) – 2. Protect the Augustinian Monks and Roman Catholics – 3. Conquer Jerusalem for “His Holiness” in the Vatican. Phelps says the Jesuits (Papacy) created Islam in 610 to put forward Islam as a sort of Church, and that is why Islam killed the racial Jews alongside Christians in Arabia and North Africa. This spread throughout Spain, where Muslims (Islam) were used to neutralise the Visigoths in Spain and southern France, who denied Rome as a pagan trinity (I.H.S – I-Isis, H-Horus, and S-Set). There was a time when Islam denied the Papacy; this was during the time Islam refused to give it back to the Pope. The Pope helping to finance Islam’s undertaking was not pleased, so the crusades occurred by the order of the Vatican. According to Phelps, the Masonic lodge in Cairo is the Islamic Brotherhood’s central point; therefore, whoever rules Cairo rules the Muslim Brotherhood. |
.
So many of these contentions from Revera/Phelps are an exercise in revisionist history, making most of the claims (if not all) untrue [its conspiracy-theory-propaganda]. Islam arose in the Arabian Peninsula, where Orthodox Christianity had made significant gains among the population, with Gnostic Christianity also having a significant presence during the seventh century. The Catholic Church was based in Rome and was insulated mainly from the Arabian people. In a broader sense, Christianity contributed immensely to Islamic theology but did not create Islam.
The Catholic Church did support [charted] the crusade and sometimes directed it; as for creating it, this is not true. After the fall of Rome, an Islamic Campaign spread in North Africa and reached northern Spain. They would fill the vacuum left by the collapse of the Roman Empire. Charlemagne united Europe by consolidating Germanic central European kingdoms, becoming known as the ‘Holy Roman Empire’ under the Roman Church. Charlemagne’s empire met resistance from the Saxons, who fought against the state and made a new Christianity in favour of their native gods. Pope Urban II called for a crusade against the Islamic occupation of Jerusalem, thus the first crusade.
The Crusade was led by the Knights Templar, a military order founded by several European noblemen. Their initial purpose was to protect pilgrims travelling to the Holy Land. They were given properties to serve as headquarters, one of which was located at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. The Knights Templar existed from the late 11th century until the early 14th century and was respected as a formidable military force. As the Crusades waned, the Knights Templar returned to Europe and took possession of properties known as preceptories. This designation allowed them to operate businesses similar to sovereign states, answerable only to the Pope. They leveraged this unique position to establish one of the first banking systems, managing the wealth of pilgrims and others. Over the years, the Knights Templar amassed significant wealth and power.
So much so that some countries owed them money, like King Philip of France; Philip influenced the papacy and the Vatican and persuaded them to move their headquarters from Rome to Avion, France. He [Philip] was concerned about the Templars and once asked to join but was rejected. People started to wonder how they became such power – they did not realise it was a banking system [the way currency works], a new concept and something they didn’t understand at the time. So, they thought it was something magical or supernatural because of rumours that entailed satanic rituals among the secret initiation ranks. Philip sent people to confirm these rumours, and these spies confirmed them. Philip then used this as evidence to get the Pope involved in prosecuting the people of that order. Some were arrested and executed, burnt and jailed – some absorbed to other orders.
From this point onward, the Templars become mythological in two central beliefs. The first is the idea of world domination, often linked to conspiracy theories about a new world order and Freemasonic connections, which emerged after the Catholic Church accused them of various wrongdoings. The second belief revolves around the notion that when the Templars were dissolved, they were wrongly persecuted and viewed as wise initiates who possessed the secrets of Western occultism. This perspective led various secret societies to claim ties to the Templar legacy and to continue their traditions. The Church concluded that the Templars engaged in satanic rituals based on confessions obtained through torture. During these confessions, the Templars admitted to worshipping the Baphomet. Additionally, the Vatican’s investigations, which did not involve torture, revealed confessions of other rituals that involved a denial of Christ, though they were not characterised as overtly satanic.
The Baphomet image that people commonly see it as is an image designed by [French] Alphonse Louis Constant, but those images had nothing to do with the Templars – or even in the same timeline as the symbolic representation of the Baphomet back in the days of that Order. Nobody quite knew what the Baphomet was; some have said it was a skull with multiple heads; some say it was the skull of John the Baptist. In this case, the Baphomet was a severed head through which the Baphomet would speak. Although it was more of a ritual where they take a severed head and embalm it – then they would put it on a plate. Then they would insert magical symbols on the tongue – to which it would reanimate itself to life – in which it would speak. The Baphomet is a demonic entity used through divination for prophetic insight and gain.
This plays on the fears of traditional Christians; I can see why; it has all the perversity of evil, and the secret Order that was/is Templars certainly fits that bill. However, they must also realise that magic(k) and ritualism are central to all world events and technological advancements. That began in early creation and early civilisations. The motive to gain favour over spiritual entities is universal among all cultures and has a crucial point in mythology. For example, the Watchers fell from Heaven onto Mount Hermon, where they taught the tribes metallurgy and how to read the stars. Then there is the myth of the Greek goddess Medusa; upon having her head cut off by Perseus, her head is still imbued with power, casting any men who stare at her head to stone. There is a commonality of themes [of other-worldly beings giving technology] through the metaphysical and Physical that is bonded to civilisations and their people.
The Medusa plays on a psychological key point, portrayed through the example of a sci-fi show, Taken, which is a dialogue between Dr. Chet and Camille. The Doctor is trying to talk her down from becoming overly obsessive. If Skully had deep psychological issues, Camille would be an anti-matter version of Agent Skully [of the X-Files] character.
Dr. Chet | Do you know the story of the Medusa? | |||
Camille | You look at her and you turn to stone | |||
Dr. Chet | Unless you know the secret, but you have to be an enlightened warrior to learn. | |||
Camille | This is going somewhere right? | |||
Dr. Chet | If you know the secret you can kill her, and then the winged horse Pegasus flies from her head, then the world becomes a very, very beautiful place. I use to think we get something out of this ‘new science’, something, I even thought we can get the better of them somehow, but we’re not ready to be anything but spectators in this – anything more … ‘stone.’ |
.
In 2001, a document discovered in the Vatican revealed that the Church had investigated the Inquisition. This investigation found that the Inquisition did not involve torture. The cardinals interviewed the same Templar groups that confessed during France’s Inquisition. Ultimately, this investigation showed that the Templars were innocent and should have been absolved. However, this conclusion held little genuine significance, and the Templars still faced punishment. The findings served mainly to help the Vatican distance itself from any association with what was perceived as an essentially satanic order. Until then, the public believed that the Church had created this group, allowing it to gain total power and operate unchecked. This led the Templars to evolve into a secret faction seeking world dominance.
It is argued that the Church’s granting of absolution was part of its criteria for allowing confession, in which sins are pardoned through penance. This absolution or forgiveness, however, does not imply that the individuals in these orders were not guilty of the crimes they confessed to. This situation reveals a vast, insidious conspiracy, along with a denial of Christ, which goes against the teachings of the Church.
So it’s good to know where the distinction of interpretation is coming from; Phelps is taking the path of the first mythicized version of the story. That is, the Church is responsible for the rise of the secret order or for having created it, which is not the case, though you cannot deny the Church’s involvement. So here we have the Church detaching themselves [or washing away their hands of guilt] from a secret group that grew too large and unchecked.
We also have a form of detachment in the personalities of fundamentalists, where they wish Protestantism didn’t come from the Catholic Church. Protestantism gestated from the dimensional state of heaven that arose at the start of creation in a collective fantasy wish where the world has forgotten Martin Luther. Revera is a modern-day Lutheran, acting as a mirror to Luther. Still, instead of being the father of Protestantism, Revera is a sympathiser for Protestantism/anti-Catholic activists as well as a hoax actor during the sixties.
Trying to consolidate a monolithic big bad would also mean consolidating secret societies, which is impossible. Secret societies have existed throughout the ages, from the first agricultural ages to modern times. This is not only ambitious but impossible given the nature of secret societies, which sometimes are transient and have their own ideologies and belief structures. This means some groups change, some get disembowelled or reconstituted to another group, and the name changes slightly.
The Element Encyclopedia of Secret Societies is 400 pages book outlining secret societies from A to Z. Paraphrasing a segment of the book:
The Christian right has always been a racial radical movement that broke away from American Protestantism, then trickled down to become The Christian Identity movement which was a British Israelite movement as well. With the emergence of other churches to their cult it started to become anti-Semitic, then it found common cause with another fringe group “the two seeds” which gave the notion of two dividing bloodline; the evil bloodline from Cain and the good bloodline from Seth whose father was Adam. This became popular in the south; than the Christian Identity movement claimed they are the Aryans (white skin) and were the original true Israelites and that Jews were biological descendants of Satan. After a while they formed a secret group, togo against or revolutionize against the so-called “Zionist Occupation government” they failed and they reconsidered their plans for racial warfare. During the last decades of the 20th century they spread the racist paganism and neo-Nazi ideology, which drew many potential recruits away from Christian Identity movement. It remains a force in the extreme right of America that overlaps with neo-Nazi groups and surviving branches Ku Klux Klan. – The Element Encyclopedia of Secret Societies |
.
So even amongst their ranks, there are more contexts to know than fully accepting a simplified, almost fictional telling to promote doubt. So, something happened to change the ideals of racial/racist groups in early Middle America; to change their ideals from hating Zionism to accepting Zionism, probably by preachers with political alliances who can fill stadium stages akin to musical bands, though it’s still a very racist group. It’s a political movement more so than a religious one.
Protestantism is relatively young compared to the history of the Jesuits and the Catholic Church. Furthermore, calling the Copernican worldview scientism oversimplifies an institution that traces its roots back to the New Testament, highlighting a significant lack of historical context and memory. It is misleading to suggest that the Jesuits were responsible for the medieval Inquisition in the 13th century, mainly since their foundation began in 1539. Acknowledging these discrepancies must be met. Throughout history, yes, the Roman Catholic Church and the Jesuits have been guilty of various wrongdoings. However, should they be held accountable for what right-leaning conspiracy theorists describe as a central cabal, or is this merely a product of empire-building?
Regarding memory and context, the Catholic Church [Vatican] and Rome have already experienced a theocratic empire. It’s part of their memory and history. This is memory as shared knowledge [common sense] that they’ve learned from. They know it didn’t work then and know it won’t work now.
Constantine’s ideal for Christianity would follow through with the Crusade. The Christian ideal was through the ideal of a New Jerusalem. However, the city never came down from the clouds and certainly didn’t save Europe from disease and death in the wake of the fall of Rome. And if there is a lesson to be learned from history – it’s not to repeat it; the same outcome will ensue. The end-times notion won’t end – it’s akin to believing there is a restaurant at the end of the universe – makes the mission for a New Jerusalem a never-ending quest. They’ve already had several wars in the Middle East on the backs of that premise.
The mandate for heaven has cosmic significance in the sense that one party is on a mission to preserve a new (g)/God born out of its detachment from the monad [this is called the Lucifer Effect, a term borrowed from the New Age]. This is where an over-focus on individualism detached from oneness becomes chronic or alienated, isolated, jealous that usually act out its evils. On an environmental level, industries extract from the world till nothing is left. Not realising the earth gives without asking for anything in return. They forget that you need to live with the environment on a symbiotic level. The Protestant’s separation from the Catholic Church is a symbolic detachment from that monad – its effect is a reaction to seek validation, but they don’t know where to seek it since they cut themselves off.
On the surface, Catholics and Protestants both claim to be Christian, and both adhere to a lot of common fundamental ideas about Jesus, which suggests they are both a sort of Christian. However, those that look beyond the surface see another game being played. There is an awareness surrounding the old gods awakening and a state-cult re-emerging, and given our modern circumstances, this seems to be the case. [Well … at least symbolically]. The antithesis to this claim is a clear agenda by the protestant groups that have the drive to go back to a theocratic age. This is made clear by their Christian- groups who promote an Elizabethan Freemasonic big bad but cannot mention their clear support for their government’s religious/political quest for a New Jerusalem backed by their corporations and, therefore, support for militaristic order. Not realizing that Freemasons were primarily seen as [predominantly] protestant, the Protestant Knighthood.
Lucifer Effect syndrome would repeat itself in early Protestant denominations /orders [like Calvinists] thinkers akin to info-war types, but in the Enlightenment era, realised the Catholic Church professed Christianity in public but instinctively knew they practised/worshipped other idols in private. Those inherent memories have never left that detached group but moved towards modern times as they re-emerged in the mindset of the religious right of the 80s. However, back then, the dichotomy was apparent. I surmise they were simulated back into Protestantism/Evangelicalism rather than fading away. This explains the modern-day political landscape where there are no dichotomies to be had; both left and right politics are right-wing.
The populace groups who are pro-militaristic/Zionist/conservative and their conspiracy-theory-propaganda followers have a sense of patriotism against a theoretical-conspiratorial notion of threat; Satanism, World War Three, and so on – while still keeping their support for a New Jerusalem. I feel their spokespersons are catering to their separatist followers with an absolute notion of the genuineness of their deity, which is pretty much defunct by now; he is real, but not in the sense they think he is. They’re appealing to their exclusive nature toward their g/God. While secretly worshipped another, much in the same way that an intuitive feeling leads to the conclusion – that early protestant groups/orders felt that the Catholic Church professed Christianity but practised another in secret. There is no real difference between Catholic Christians and Protestant Christians who are being duped.
Secret worship of gods in private while advocating a monotheistic one in public has political connotations. Set aside the eschatological notion of a New Jerusalem and consider perhaps that narrative is more for the benefit of their Christian populace – when in private or secret, it’s more about power. Then, it’s about the Empire building that goes beyond living up to revelations.
Take the dichotomy of China and the U.S.; both are more similar than one might think. China is more capitalistic [on the extreme] than socialist – the modern system has no support [safety net] for what the West understands as socialist systems [policies; Medicare, welfare, education, etc.] to be. I’ve already mentioned the U.S.’s ever-prevailing encroachment to fascism. China is a sliding scale between Capitalism and Communism, while the U.S. is a sliding scale of Capitalism and Fascism. China attributes socialism by wearing a socialist hat, meaning it looks like a socialist country, but in reality, modern-day China is unrecognizable. The threat comes in their managerial systems of control, which no one in the West wishes or wants to live in. At least the West has a simulation of choice. Now and then, there is a show trial of corrupt officials that get put in jail or the death penalty – to show people they’re taking on corruption for the benefit of the public – while in secret, doing nothing to the majority of other officials.
In the last post, we briefly discussed Vitvan’s General Semantics and the importance of avoiding words and images that lack proper referents or references. We should neither elevate images to the point of idolatry nor dismiss them entirely to the point of heresy. This concept can be challenging to grasp, especially since Terence McKenna’s understanding of the universe is deeply rooted in language. A clearer way to approach this is to distinguish between applied imagination and imaginative fantasy.
The fundamental Jewish belief that one should “make no graven images” is central to their faith and is reflected in their religious texts and the Bible. The Jewish belief emphasises that no false images of God should be worshipped. In contrast, the Romans required statues of their emperors alongside their gods. The Jewish people understood that statues held no real value, whereas holy texts do.
The Jesuits used the same concept of heightening God’s image when it was merely a cover for their politics (- Simulation and Simulacra). The disappearance of God was a way to manipulate the consciousness of the public as they took the role of inheritor or steward of the Godhead.
The image will play a part in whether old gods awaken and are worshipped secretly. Maybe there is no awakening or re-emergence if we know people are astute enough to see through [the abstraction of the God-image being brought forward that can parallel their self among the images and representation of that God-image, but for already enacting his death and his disappearance through the catalogue of his representations (- Simulation and Simulacra)] – while at the same time being aware that it’s dangerous to deconstruct images since it shines a light on the high probability that there is nothing behind them. Since there are no proper referents/inferences to the image, the implication of wavering meaning to the image is that it becomes stagnant. Any order deep within its occult history and practice can assimilate a simulated meaning or referent to the image.
Then, it’s just about ethical principles of good and evil. And the paranoid fundamentalists fear what they don’t understand or refuse to understand, [old gods awakening; to be afraid or not to be afraid] is directly in response or a reaction to a misinterpreted or misunderstood redeemer. Fundamentalist-right recognizes that people having that awareness means a slow apotheosis will not fall in their favour. Their drive and lack of openness for truth will undoubtedly fuel more hate. A state-cult guise as Christianity is not apparent, nor more so than a state-cult guise as a right-wing Christianity, but I fear this is too straightforward to be unassailable. It can disregard the genuine believers of Catholicism. History cannot ignore several centuries and more of history, memory, and context t; to do so would mean devaluing Catholicism.
Most Christian principles people enact come from first-century (Roman and Grecian) philosophers Epictetus and Seneca. They knew about the ancient past and were deeply connected to the higher schools of consciousness. Christianity is paganism with a different name: a sun god turned into a Jewish man. It is said the Flavians created much of what is known as Christianity.
The Dead Sea Scrolls indicate that the characters in those writings were militaristic and wanted to push the foreigners out of Israel; comparatively, in the gospel, the same characters were pacifistic. How did a movement like Christianity come to exist in a region that was occupied by Roman soldiers and Jewish zealots who wanted to push the Romans out?
Modern separatist groups’ sense of patriotism is based on false pride. Also, there is an inherent need, helped by preachers who reinforce a New Jerusalem. Even if they’re shown their hypocrisy, for instance, Ezekiel once channelled God, and God told him to build a representation of Jerusalem and then do a ritual with it—which will cause the (New) Jerusalem to fall from the Heavens. Magic and rituals are always looked down on. How can they reconcile that?
This [populace group] are separatists that ignore the fact that their (political) leaders are controlled by billionaires – who agree on wars for empire, aggressive of the police, false dichotomy, divide, and rule politics. And I would venture to guess that they don’t worship the same God as the separatists do, but somehow, the separatists can forgive that or look the other way, or it’s just plain ignorance. They forever continue to propagandize their agenda. In actuality, it’s a group of elites who play both sides.
The most dogmatic Christians would not even entertain this possibility. Often, these groups don’t realise their government has used them and that the government uses Christianity’s good principles against them by preaching to the Evangelical population that war and the end times coincide, and so make them believe in their war effort as something virtuous. The greater Israel project, in which a theocratic empire is all but too happy to capitulate to any Israel needs.
