THE PROPHET . . . (of the Left)

Get a load of this Yuval Noah Harari,  he is the prophet of the Left, so it is believed:

Leaving the discussion of radical acceptance aside; his discussion of God uses the old magician's trick of forcing a card. He offers the opportunity to choose one card, but the right card is the other one. In this case, both cards are amiss. The one "intrusive" God is more rightly described as a demi-urge - a being that is part of the system albeit a much higher order of inhabitant. The other is mysterious and unknowing. The God of the great religious traditions understand God to be apart from the system, but is the grounding of the reality within which it exists. A God who is imminent, sacred, omniscient, and concerned for creation. I'm reminded of Rev. Tim Keller's quote, "Tell me about this God you don't believe in. I probably don't believe in Him either."

I will not address the radical acceptance piece either. But I do want to address your statement concerning the demiurge; this is a god of Gnosticism, a god who creates an impure world. The God of heaven, in Gnosticism then is the detached transcendent God who has nothing to do with matter. The created world is not of the God of heaven’s interest, nor consideration, in Gnosticism. I think Harari is a confused man who sounds as though he knows what he is talking about. Harari is much like our friend Sam Harris, except Harari has a different gender. These two individuals tend to think they know a lot, and this is the nature of Gnosticism, which is the departing of knowledge. In ancient religious Gnosticism this knowledge was secret knowledge. In possttruth times, Harari and Harris, as well as other media props, are considered to be the purveyors of knowledge. It is humorous that these characters are treated with such high esteem. They are not scholars, they are personalities that have been puffed up. I digress, back to Gnosticsm and its relationship with posttruth times. When the world is itching for something to hang its hat on it turns to knowledge, as though it were something that could replace truth. Truth is from the God of heaven and earth; God created them both. There is no demiurge as creator of an uncanny earth made of unclean matter. God created and looked upon creation and said it is good. In the new world religion (like the NWO) there are the laws of or commandments of environmentalism. Thou shalt not use plastic straws, etc…

Mandate of Heaven . . . . (it's all the same)

  天下 Mandate of Heaven This is the mandate, that beautiful notion, the perfection of that which is in the historical. What is the difference between mandate of heaven and manifest destiny or divine providence?   It is that which comes about through no metaphysical being, but rather is the resultant in history.   The Zhou were the first to reference 天下 as that which is meant to be when a ruler won a battle. It was, to put it in a way that we can understand the sense, ordained. There was no personage in heaven or willful nature which ordained the result. This is a very difficult concept to portray in Western ideas or language. Just as the heart of perfect wisdom sutra states, “form is emptiness, emptiness is form,” so too the mandate of heaven is a concept of unusual meaning, for the Westerner.   Bottom line, there may be no equivalent in English, but it seems like that it indicates the winner gets to define history. Sound familiar? It is no wonder that, in a wor...

Let's spread MISINFORMATION

According to the government 2  + 2 = 5  and Math is racist. Let’s spread the Truth, which is misinformation.  Let’s spread misinformation all over the place, in every household, community, city, state, and nation(s).  We will not cave on the matter of Truth, no matter how much they say 2 + 2 = 5. No matter what the Party tried to press upon the mind of Winston Smith (in George Orwell’s “1984”), Smith would not succumb, until the end.  For us we will not succumb to the lies, i.e. truth is lies; math is injustice; truth is unjust and other opposites that are flipped on their heads, and are made into the real lies that they are feeding the world.  The Left is relentlessly programming young children, to young adults, to you. Media process has you under its spell.  Stop watching TV and movies, please.  You will find only lies there.  So let’s spread misinformation, while the government is calling truth to be lies. Government and media are vacuous ...

Dirty words

  “Conservative” and “liberal” have been words that have incited arguments (not necessarily fighting) in the 20 th century.   In recent times the word “conservative” has become a dirty/filthy word.   It has indicated “hate” “Hate-speech” “unlovingness” and derogatory terms attributed to it. Conservatives have become the dregs of society, as Hillary Clinton most popularly named them “the deplorables” Another dirty word “Christian” has entered the dictionary of filth.   Are you sick of it?    Some say God is going to rectify this whole cultural mess, others (like me) think that there is too much invisible power invested in taking the West down, as evident in politics and those who feed politicians the sustaining coercive philosophy that will drive Christians into small groups that meet in homes, the Left is powering up for the take-down. Stand firm always and wait to see the salvation of the Lord Adonai More later on words that when given capital letters...
