Fundamentalist Christians and its Wrong Approach to Spiritual Teachings (27):
Occultism and Post-awakening Natures:

Deus X-President QAnon-achina [Posted initially on 30th September 2021]: The whole QAnon phenomenon was bizarre because at the heart of it was more about unhealthy utilitarian mysticism and hero-worship. Trump was essentially held up as a heroic saviour for right-extremists, as well as a political mouthpiece for the conservative groups. We can see the shadow side of romanticism and rationale methodology running amuck. It astonishes me, given how sophisticated Middle America is with conspiracy theory along with Ufology and the paranormal. And yet, they cannot distinguish this overt psychological operation in front of them. Perhaps radio stations like Coast-to-Coast and Alex-Jones became too structured. What was once edgy is now just ordinary. This means there are no allowances for people’s intuition to grow if the structure lacks reinvention. Within that structure, it must adhere to its program and specific demographics. They have disguised themselves with a conspiracy theory/truth as their slogan. Speaking of slogans, Q’sQ’s slogan ”Trust the Plan” in its context promotes the same kind of deficiency but through a program of passivity.
Those radio stations, for decades, more than a dozen times, had guests discussing Cointelpro. And it didn’t occur to those duped in the QAnon phenomenon that Cointelpro is where it all started. Cointelpro itself had its ascendancy in the late 60s and early 70s. This may be due to the anonymous ‘Q’ figure from the 4Chan site claiming to be an insider for the intelligence agency. Coming into the scene and merely expressing what they wanted to hear. Well, at least a specific type of that demographic. Trump was no more of a saviour than a plot device for the intelligence agencies.
Conspiracy theory has a subliminal expression within it. It promotes narratives and, within those narratives, asks the people to become heroes and to follow one hero’s journey for the truth. QAnon’s religious overtones [conversion] have the same kind of expression in that it asks to take the armour of God and fight against the Satanists. Notions of spiritual warfare have always been a Christian-fundamentalist thing. Q’s rhetoric: “The world is currently experiencing a covert war of biblical proportions, literally the fight for earth, between the forces of good and the forces of evil.” So, it would seem that if you are under the umbrella of conspiratorial truth, you are immune to psychological operations. When it is, the so-called cover of truth is the operation.
I have observed conspiracy theory subjects, the paranormal, and other weird subjects for decades. And would never think of a conspiracy theory that, within its bubble, burst out to a broader consensus. Why did this program appeal so much to such groups as the far-right, conservative, republicans, fundamentalists, and religious right and with such reverence? Perhaps it was how it was promoted and delivered. Q’s video’s structure is set up like a propaganda video, hitting all the right notes for fundamentalists and conspiracy-theory-minded people. The documentary style no longer has sway, but propaganda videos akin to a war world era are the go. There are no bases to indicate followers of religion are mentally ill. Perhaps followers of religions that have fundamentalist overtones might be so.
Q’s ongoing message: – They want you divided – They want race wars – They want class wars – They want religious and political wars. I think Mulder said it best: who are ‘They’? “At some point, you’ll have to explain who they are. You keep referring to this omnipresence mysterious they – the given tensionality of random events or external explanations for psychological ones – but there is no they there.” In the context of Q, ‘They’ represent the radical left. And so, this is where one’s intuition comes to light. One should realise ‘They’ represent not a political spectrum [radical-left] but an instigator, a bunch of wizards behind the curtain playing both sides of the political spectrum.
I have mentioned the simulacrum tactic of meta-morphing opposites and argued it’s natural and biological. So perhaps it was inevitable for political spectrums to reach an inverse point. The so-called radical left is post-leftist-Rockafella-democrats acting as a pentimento to what true liberalism once was. You have to erase layers and layers of modern politics to reach it. There is the argument that true liberalism may not exist anymore, and the spectrum is one: right-wing. The debates become this weird argument against each other of the same political spectrum. Knowing those arguments very well is mere semantic theatre. And in this strange inversion, words and meaning become their opposite. Referent and reference are confused, and with it, the orders of abstraction. True liberalism no longer exists where it once stood against a police state, war, or intelligence agencies because, in a strange co-opt, liberalism favours those regimes. And those that are vocal about it are quickly labelled as alt-right or right-wing.
A possible reason for this labelling is to silence the vocal through an established referent where common knowledge is to identify the religious right as inherently violent and discriminatory. And falsely labelling those who are seemingly leftist and vocal to them is ingenious because that label has a dominant inherent state of consciousness. So, a vocal leftist is the same as a right-wing conspiracy theorist, ingenious it may be, yet these acts are false manifestations. They are intuition or intuition becoming passive. There is no counterbalance to other human qualities, especially that of actual intuition. This is indicative of a secularist need to decompile conspiracy theory through a superstitious lens. It acts as an anti-virus if the virus is the truth. Materialism operates the same way. Such an aspect that is dominant in the guise of scientism is at its most superstitious form and is a barrier to real scientific progress. Conspiracy theory, in the eyes of secular, scientific-minded, and rational people, seems to view it through a false label. In return, it opens it up for scapegoating, which makes possible truths having filtered through it useless. The other side of understanding is entirely different as it promotes passive intuition, more so, a neutered version of passive intuition, which is a distinct form of actual intuition.
Throughout history, materialism has detached us from our souls and the practice of ancestor worship. The concept of the “death of God” has replaced reverence for saints and spirits with hero worship. This may explain why some conservative groups elevate Trump as a saviour despite his origins as a Democrat. They operate under the mistaken belief that they possess exclusive access to the truth, even when their claims lack foundation. Hero worship can carry religious undertones and may often lean toward superstition. One explanation for this phenomenon, which I have mentioned previously, is a psychological need to forget, with superstition serving as a mechanism for doing so. Consider the racial violence that occurred in America between 1882 and 1968, during which Black Americans were lynched. This tragic reality was not as simple as it might appear, as entire towns, including families with children, would gather to witness these horrific rituals.
Society then depended on maintaining a view of itself as if such behaviour was normal. The key to this normalisation is through the heroic model, which is unrelated to reality. Therefore, in modern times, Trump emerges as their heroic icon in a time when the political landscape accepts conspiracy theory as part of its campaign. So, you have a group putting on the armour of God in a spiritual fight against this elite of evil Satanists who embark on ritual sacrifice and drink blood. At the same time, knowingly/unknowingly, just a half-century ago, they viewed the same kind of Satanic Barbarism as normal as a typical society. Akin to the Romans who gathered to view blood spilled in coliseums. And this is why there is an unconscious need to forget through superstition. You could argue they are not responsible for their ancestors, which is fine. The sins of the father should not be the sins of the son. However, to forget would also mean opening it back to classic racism once again. You could also argue this is a post-leftist endeavour, and they’re using a segment of the population’s inherent/unconscious guilt as a way to achieve their goal. Whatever that may be [and part of it is possibly to render passivity].
The Romans were predominately a genteel sort and most frowned sporting events that showcased nudity in which the athletes, on the other hand, could watch blood spilled for entertainment value. While this might seem shocking in today’s moral standard, it is similar to watching death and murder in today’s television and movies. However, the Romans were not offering mere entertainment, and the same could be argued for TV. It was more about the relationship with mortality and the uncertainty it brings. In some aspects, it plays on Evangelical Christianity’s stringent censorship of the secular world while having an unconditional faith in the soul. However, can it be that explicit? Since historical experiences have shown their actions as more of a struggle. These kinds of struggles often lead to the corrupt side of cult groups, where the inevitable chosen leader has the supposed light of grace.
Trump having the conspiracy theory-minded voters of Middle America would mean adhering to their mindset. The result is always divisive. Is he a product of his narcissism, or is he just playing the part those specific types of voters want from him? There is also a strange correlation between Q’s revealment and Trump’s Conspiracy rhetoric. In a reaction, certain groups would manifest themselves in the offensive as a resistance to a president who wouldn’t deliver on his promises anyway [both economically and in the conspiratorial narrative] and certainly not what Q was promising. In this offensive, they proclaimed that he was an authoritative likened to Hitler. I can equate this to Rick and Morty, in which Morty kills FDR as if he were a spider-like monster. Rick says; you just killed FDR, to which Morty replies; but he was a monster, though – then Rick says: don’t mythologise him; he was a politician. The attempt to liken Trump to Hitler is unknowingly an attempt to mythologise him. Isn’t he already a saviour by the other group? A parody entailing FDR as a monster, but didn’t he stand up against the oligarchy of his time?
Unknowingly or, it was on purpose that the counter group that would label Trump as the new Hitler by its nature is doing the same type of mythologising but as a villain as opposed to a hero. Doing this will always have a narrative-based result that combines truth and facts. The made-up Muslim villain in a post-9/11 era juxtaposes with ISIS, a mercenary army funded by the Clinton Foundation at some corporation in Israel. And to the made-up legions of white supremacists [where their alt-right leaders are CIA agents] – juxtaposed with actual white supremacist groups. Perhaps these white supremacist groups are not as overt as it was a half-century ago but are more insidious.
The Watchmen sequel series started the story by acknowledging the Tulsa massacre. In previous posts, I described guilt pride [moral self-elevation through guilt admission]. Guilt inherited from earlier generations is internalised. Paradoxically, with this admittance, they have elevated themselves morally and can be proud of accepting such enormous guilt—the acceptance of guilt but also knowing it will never pay off. Nevertheless, other leaders and their countries recognise and apologise for their past atrocities – to the original Steward of their countries. And for them to accept it is also recognised. However, problematic countries such as the United States, with its ideal structure of monolithic nation-states, can only really apologise in narrative form. And by having no honest guilt admission, it manifested itself in Woke [a combination of American individualistic liberalism and civil religion with a strong focus on identity]. It is a problem because the genuineness of guilt and pride becomes hacked or meaningless.
There is a conflict within the label and within the image, which at times is driven by a glamorisation of that image. It can be further perpetuated when it’s related to pop-culture icons regarding the depiction of the image (meta-morphing of opposites). As an example, Watchman’s notion of Minutemen, a group of hooded heroes, is a title borrowed from real-life Minutemen – an FBI-funded extreme right-wing, anti-communist paramilitary organisation. That targeted activist groups and anti-war movements with violent acts.
To advance beyond racism, one has to advance beyond race; this notion wasn’t helped by Sartre’s ‘anti-racist racism’, as with the Black Power movement and its cognates. Understandably, communities that suffer prejudice and abuse should shelter behind a protective assumed identity. Still, identities grow rigid and become a source of new pieties, new excuses to repay evil with evil – thereby indirectly entrenching the idea that lies at the root of the problem. (A.C Grayling n.d)
All you have to realise is Q is an enabler of hidden prejudices for individuals who might not know of conspiracy-theory subjects. And it’s in your best interest not to get caught up in it. Guilt and pride are not as important as one might think. All you have to remember is that our historical atrocities became entrapped in a historical Pandora’s Box because they’re part of the transfixed foundations of our psychology, both personal and societal. And what do these fearful dreams and unexpiated sin produce? Inexplicable contradictions between a society’s idea of itself and what it actually does. – J.R. Saul
Magento was Right; Trump was Wrong: Magento was Right is an internet meme that describes a fictional X-Men character, Magneto. He posits a question of whether his actions are right or wrong, his actions of counter-genocide/tyranny as opposed to Xavier’s pacifist approach. All of which is a reaction to humans wanting to wipe out mutant kind. All of this plays on the notion that Magneto is an allegory of the real-life persona of Malcolm X and Xavier as Luther King.
You could view conspiracy theory types as these mutants, but their mutation aligns more with lacking spirit and having personality disorders symptomatic of narcissism, solipsism, egoism, anti-social behaviour, etc. However, that would be an incorrect label, considering those traits should be seen more broadly. Wake groups can have these symptoms as well. Just for the sake of this analogy, the mutation is far from what true spiritual gnosis/awakening is. Even Q’s slogan, ‘the great awakening,’ is misrepresented because awakening implies a spiritual component when all it is … are old data sets becoming revealed through a new format. Q’s demographic and Trump voters become these mutant minorities together with their heroes’ narrative and mythologising to form a collective group. This is in direct opposition to the [radical-left/post-leftist/ Rockefeller-republicans], which is technocratic and controls big tech, universities and media.
Magneto is considered a mutant supremacist, a global terrorist warped by the Holocaust into an immovable hatred of the human condition. He is a product of his history and memory. X-men saga has always had the supposition of the Civil Rights Movement, which reshaped America by dismantling existing racial paradigms. And they gave their blood to do so. As a reaction to this, a Cointelpro initiated a program to disrupt the movement through assassinations. The same kind of disruptions was made apparent with Q [minus the assassinations] through propaganda, divide and rule politics that Trump was only too happy to capitulate.
Trump is no Magneto or even Xavier but is a hero figure. Regardless of Trump, any other person who would take his place and appeal to a conservative right ideal would ultimately be their hero figure. Trump became their candidate and the one to liberate God-fearing Christians from evil rulers through the absurd notion of a comic book hero arc. The last politician who tried to dip his toe against the Military-Industrial-Complex JFK was literally and figuratively shot down for it. The CIA and the Majestic12 with the Secret Service went against the president’s wishes to disclose information, not for the world, just for him. JFK’s proclamation only provoked the intelligence agencies to fear. That information of [Alien life and its technologies] leaked to the Soviet Union. Then, a conspiracy to assassinate him was initiated. Aside from Hilary’s email leaks during the Trump and Hillary elections, she made a pronouncement on UFO disclosure, which seemingly destroyed her chances of being the first female president. I mean, it’s all pre-determined anyway. Regardless, people are willing to believe in a LARP that Trump and his Administration were going to overthrow a Kakistocracy [criminal class of governance].
Q and Trump played on the hearts and minds of a group that is inherently anti-liberal or anti-left in the first place. This has been a staple of the religious/political right and their Christendom and fundamentalism in a more extreme sense. And Q’s Manichean other [and vice versa] Antifa; both groups have been set up for division. And to demonize each other if one should stray from one’s ideology. For the past two decades, most of Q’Anon’s disclosure/propaganda content had already been around the conspiratorial zeitgeist sphere. There is nothing new there, and like Christian fundamentalists, consolidation of intellects and researchers is a tactic to discredit occultism. They have adopted the same method by accumulating all types of conspiracy theories. Instead of using it to discredit those mentioned above, it is used as fuel to rally certain particular types of the masses.
In the end, this is all just a game. Trump was wrong, but so were his opponents. During his first election against the Clinton administration, evidence emerged suggesting that they were involved in the so-called “Russiagate.” Where false assumptions of orchestrated conspiracies are made but ultimately proven false. People must recognise that these groups intentionally create narratives to serve their agendas. This implies that much of what we hear can be manipulated, making it unreliable.
Worship the Fool and Play, Play: The word ‘played’ refers to play as a game. And politics can be a game. It is a feudalistic game that keeps you in a dialectic state of mind, a false sense of democracy when deep down you know ‘democracy is mob rule’ (Thomas Jefferson). Trump was a Joker in the White House because the hero can only also be a fool. He is also a snake oil salesman (an Alex Jones archetype in a Presidency suit). The purpose of the Joker or the Fool is to give the show away and to remind us that it is just a game. And yet, he keeps the show going while, at the same time, the Joker periodically hides and shows himself.
When one understands the truth, what results from such gnosis or such an awakening? In this perspective, a new dimension is made clear. And in that revelation is the awareness that you were awake all along. The same is understood when we make an awakening a prerequisite for new types of consciousness – which is always exclusive when ordinary consciousness is practical enough [even if they are unaware or demoralised]. And this has something to do with the whole scheme of things because it can fit within the whole. Perhaps a spiritual component makes for better discernment, a component more indicative of light, not faith. And without it, we were left to worship false idols.

An atheistic concept of religion needs to account for the non-proposition or assert [false] evidence for the proposition. Religion is more about wisdom than knowledge in the first place, and we can safely worship wisdom. Understood in the dancing and celebrating around the fire. Although, at some point, we lost the depth of celebration, it became more about entertainment in the context of right-wing Christendom and blind faith in a political idol. All their hopes and genuineness have been directed to the same kind of hopes that match their blind critique of the one true saviour and religion.
Beware Monster and Forget Your Own: Conspiracy theory reference of framing is narrow, making it difficult for the truth to reach its synthesis. It exists only to delegitimise possible truths. Secular people view conspiracy theories through bullet point procedures with the underlying premise that they are still wrong. [There is self-referentialism hiding in the assertion ‘they are still wrong’] even when the theory has been proven true, as a way to manage irrational reason. Conspiracy theory has become a loaded term and has become synonymous with irrationality, paranoia, crazy, out of touch with reality. All a while having the political baggage and the label of right-wing nuts.
These are unwarranted labels because conspiracy thinking is more extensive and aligns itself more with searching/knowing/finding the truth. It’s not that people are drawn to conspiracy theories because they have more facts. After all, facts are just building blocks to rationality. And also, astute enough to know reason cannot hold the truth to the cosmos. You can only grasp the potentiality of it as reason as thought. All of these can be verified when you realise that what we hold as values for empiricism [in the context of satellization and any other false propositions] are simulated. The reason is that thought has more value. And so, the non-rationale finds itself seeking the spirits that can be as reliable as pure reason. Conspiracy theory does the same thing; non-rational attitudes can be good. Seeking the spirits is akin to opening your intuition and codifying it with your imagination.
Conspiracy theory groups are often obligated to religion, and some more so towards fundamentalism. They are outspoken about kakistocracy or an oligarchy. They are trying to engage with something so gigantic that they have detached themselves from a problem closer to home. This detachment or forgetfulness allowed something else to come up and show them how lacking it is. The Pandora’s Box of our historical psychology [racism as an example] is ever-looming and ever-present and ready to burst out at any time. A solution is to internalise such matters. If the notion of ‘get your house in order’ is to mean anything.
Why are people drawn to conspiracy theories more so for the populace of right-wing Christendom? Especially regarding hero-worship and the inherent need to idolatrise a saviour figure into a political paragon. Such a notion is incongruent with their fundamental stance not to idolise graven images or idols. It could have something to do with how they process mythology, especially concerning Biblical literature. In the last post, we discussed the Christ of Faith. The claim is that there has never been textual evidence for a personal Jesus and that creedal documents don’t count. A demoralising assertion to those who identify with their Christ of Faith, and the immutable view on magic, usually through a fundamentalist understanding of the occult concerning curious arts, is narrow. It doesn’t allow or encompass the nature of spirit.
Historically, a belief in a moral Supreme Being preceded the development of magic. At one point in history, man turned away from the Supreme Being for the practice of magic. That’s one way of looking at it, but it could also be the practice of magic reinforced a belief in the Supreme Being, which is a way of knowing or communicating with that higher power. And once it was acknowledged, there was a race to harness, hide and control that power. To suggest man sidelined that Higher Power for its reverence is more in tune with man’s psychological profile to impose a deluded messiah complex. This is inherent among secret societal elites with their psychopathic nature. And in tangent can be found in fundamentalism.
It’s difficult to see the hypocrisy when you hide behind the notion of the absolute; it’s not that the New Age is attempting to change the image of Jesus because the Church has already done that. It’s closer to finding an understanding of the Christ of Faith. Changing the image of Jesus implies that the New Age uses creative reasoning to see the inner self through the character of Jesus, but it has more to do with creative intuition. It is by a conspiratorial notion the one many tentacle heads that want to separate fiction and fact. This creation of barriers destroys any inclusive idea of civilisation. This destroys the concept of civilisation as an integral part of the physical world. That would result in the marginalisation of our qualities. Usually, people understand ‘fiction’ as something that is not factual and therefore not true but is ‘imagined’ and consequently separated from reality. By defining reality this way, you pigeonhole imagination and deny intuition.
Non-fiction sees itself as the herald of facts, including the expression of reality and, consequently, the truth. However, it’s followed by a short shelf life because truth, like the Christ of faith, is malleable, for we are always learning. Therefore, its expression of reality is an illusion. In other words, ‘non-fiction’ becomes unfashionable within a specific time, a decade or so. While fiction remains fresh because it adapts to the place and period, it conveys our principal source of understanding and lasts for centuries. The expression of the Bible follows a fictional aspect, often called ‘myth.’ We can assume the Gospel writers understood this; therefore, the stories that came out of them became timeless. In other words, great fiction can be true for its time, as well as true for our time.
The Bible is timeless and ordinarily does not function like regular fictional stories, which makes it unique and challenging to define. Or the people who use it as an absolute authority for how we should live our lives define it. Or they have simply taken the opposite qualities of fiction, that of linear argument and fact, and pasted it on as evidence even though it’s not written that way. Ironically, the Gospels are timeless stories used by people who generally deny intuition and are most likely demoralised. Maybe they realise that intuition is the only way to deliver truth timelessly. And so, they use those qualities that don’t exist within them to force interpretation in one way, making it a tool for totalitarianism. Northrop Frye describes literalism as “literal projection into the external world.” This quote defines literalism as when non-fiction became more specialised in a way vulnerable to idolatry. Simply put, the literal has always produced idolatry while the imaginative does not.
