Just flinging this out for your consideration because the majority of people handicap themselves with one or another prescribed, ‘brain police,’ fake ideology. I won’t win a popularity contest, since I’m now confronting almost everyone I know:
In the late 80s I read about the origins of all the current, popular fake ideologies in London, mainly, and the fun part is to see how it meshes with religious fundamentalism–same level of awarenes/unawareness. That got a big start in Switzerland in the 1500s–offshoot of Luther’s whatever, then London militarized it, which is what was behind the slaughter of Indians, beginning in New England right after that alleged Thanksgiving feast. Cromwell’s iron fist was the other part of that, also the witch hunts. The ‘protestant’ witch hunts paralleled the Vatican’s own witch hunts and general Inquisition. Somebody, someday, may show how these two interfaced in those days. Masonry might be the common ground.
Masonry meets bornagain chumpism in the case of ideological genocide in more recent days, hence the curious proliferation of satanist covens in the Bible Belt and the cheerleading by zionists and bornagain chumps of the destruction of Muslim countries from inside and out (all the top dogs in those Muslim countries are Scottish Rite masons). People who cleave to fundamentalism and humanism hate to look at the evidence of their being joined at the hip.
Westerners who listen to intuitive promptings (in the better case) and to idle imaginings (in the worse case) often assume God is speaking directly to them. It’s only a semantic pitfall unless ego gets in the mix, I think. Theosophy (irriationalism) et al is entirely based in semantic gymnastics, using regurgitated Hindu phraseology and hiding true intentions; even relies on hiding their involvement. They’ll always drop little symbols or phrases, though–like someone farting in a crowded elevator, so you always know when they’re involved That’s another large demographic that shares the same shallow awareness paradigm with fundamentalism and materialism/humanism. Marxism, also created in London, is humanism applied more directly to politics. I don’t know how anyone can get his head screwed on straight if he subscribes to any of this.
I take swipes at this garbage from time to time because it evidently sparks some folks to start examining reality a little more independently instead of reflexively gorging themselves on proferred, packaged answers. You might know, by now, that a signal that some packaged paradigm that explains everything but answers nothing is not genuine is that it leaves you feeling unsatisfied. It’s like eating MacDonalds food: filling but not satisfying. But even the smallest new awareness, gained by direct observation, an active imagination and rational thinking is fully satisfying and makes us feel like we’re making solid progress. This is what pulls so many people into committing to distributing orgonite in the environment and in society after they get a taste of it.
Theosophy was being pimped as ‘irrationalism’ for some decades in the late 1800s. I think it’s a sign of progress that the term is laughable, now. The Old Farts want us to assume that imagination is the enemy of rationality but they can’t say that directly because it sounds silly, so they do it with semantics and a large cadre of clever copy writers. I’m betting those copy writers aren’t paid well. The same families in London hired Marx and Darwin to push pens and Marx was so close to starvation in those days that he opted to let one of his kids starve to death, instead. He was true to his belief in the dialectic of materialism. What a chump. His employer, Lord Thomas Huxley, never missed a meal, you can bet, and his buddy, Friedrich Engels, managed factories in England that employed children. I guess Engels also demonstrated ‘survival of the fittest.’ [Image Can Not Be Found]
The materialism we were all raised with in the West caused us to distrust and even spurn imagination as a function of examining reality. We’re just now figuring out that the profered ideology choices are all spurious. Real religion is not suiperstition; materialism is not adequate to explain the larger realizations; theosophy is a collection of pretty (addictive for some) mind shackles or spiritual/egoistic nose candy.
I suppose the Greenboots are demonstrating an amalgam of all of the above that was introduced, fully developed and managed, on the heels of the war protest movement in 1975. Notice how the anti-war cadre then became the Greenboots cadre. You’re not suipposed to notice things like that, of course, but if you will move past the initial discomfort you might find this realization liberating in a curious way.
