Enlightened, Really?

I have come to the realisation that there are two basic types of people. There are those with an apocalyptic worldview and there are the Utopianists.
Of the latter there is little difference between the variations, but they are premised upon the age old Gnostic doctrine of "becoming" (Ye shall be as gods. Gen 3:5)

How utterly corrupt are the ranks of those that claim enlightenment when they speak of mans evolutionary journey, while systematically subjugating entire continents to slavery and death. Socio-political utopia in action.

I am referring primarily of the plight of Central Africa.
A recent "Top Ten" report placed the Congo as the poorest nation on earth with an average annual income of less than $200 per head, and this despite being one of the richest countries on earth in natural resources. Furthermore, Rwanda is in the news again this week as it embarks on a time of mourning, twenty years after the genocide.

The details of such suffering are truly heart wrenching, yet I believe that we owe a debt, to expose the cancerous root of the type of system which not only permits crime against humanity, but encourages it in the name of whatever nonsense ideology is popular at the time!

I have previously written about the exploits of Lever and the expropriation of huge swathes of the Belgian Congo for palm oil plantations and the ill treatment of workers under the policy of "force travail".
The facts still astound me and I struggle to understand how anyone could reach a level of disconnectedness to willingly participate is such a regime.

I read recently that while acting as Egyptian Foreign Minister, future U.N. Secretary General, Boutros Boutros-Ghali presided over the supply of the weapons which were used by Hutus to slaughter Tutsis.
The U.N. is full of apologies for not acting to stop the genocide, but it has been complicit all along.
Belgium's administration particularly had led to the ethnic tensions arising between tribes who had coexisted relatively harmoniously for centuries before.
The faulty premise that Tutsis were racially superior is explained in detail in part three of the documentary series, "All watched over by machines of loving grace" by Adam Curtis. I will post the entire series up next time.

There are few better examples of human behaviour that is beyond hypocrisy, than the treatment of the poorest people on earth by those who claim to know how society can be improved.

As for "becoming", they are actually attempting to build a world based upon Babylonian principals of rebellion towards God.

Talking with Demons 5 - The Names of God

It is likely that when Satan appeared to Eve in the Garden of Eden, it was in full serpentine brilliance.
It has been his method to appear an an "angel of light" in order to deceive, and throughout time, movements which were characterised by light or illumination, have had Luciferic ideology at their core.

Ancient cultures are believed to have been enlightened by extraterrestrial beings, but there is little mention of the barbarism that accompanied such advanced civilisations. The sheer horror of Baal worship for example, or the rivers of blood required in sacrifice to the gods the ancient Egyptians

Despite the nature of the gentile nations which surrounded Israel, some of the aspects of pagan culture were assimilated into Jewish life, particularly during the Egyptian and later, Babylonian captivity, and Gnostic thought has at times run parallel to orthodox Judaism and even gained prominence, even though there seemed a clear pattern of Gods judgement that followed their forays into such practices.

Merkabah mysticism was the early form of Kabbalah and writings known as Hekelot tracts, described the passage of the mystic through a series of chambers, each step involving increasingly complex rituals in order to bridge the gulf between man and god.
Note that this model of mystical endeavour would become the standard for later forms of magic, including freemasonry.
It is hard to overestimate the impact of Jewish mysticism on modern occult practices.

As in the case of all magic, kabbalah involves connection with unseen spiritual agents, or demons. However kabbalists use a complex system of numerology called gematria to manipulate texts in order to establish one of the "72 Names of God".
Invoking the "Names of God", was the method in which, legend has it, the Golem of Prague was created.
It is also said in kabbalistic lore, that it was possible to create living animals from inanimate matter.
If that sounds unlikely, consider how we are able to create animals in laboratories today.

So is there a link between ancient gnostic practices and modern science?

The economist, John Maynard Keynes, was fascinated by the life of Isaac Newton, and purchased one of his personal trunks containing thousands of previously unseen works.
In the address entitled, "Newton the Man", which he wrote for the tercentenary celebration of Newtons birth at the Royal Society, Keynes related some of Newtons occult exploits including Kabbalah and alchemy.

Possibly the most revealing of Keyne's observations was that:

Newton was not the first of the age of reason. He was the last of the magicians, the last of the Babylonians and Sumerians, the last great mind which looked out on the visible and intellectual world with the same eyes as those who began to build our intellectual inheritance rather less than 10,000 years ago.... 

Why do I call him a magician? Because he looked on the whole universe and all that is in it as a riddle, as a secret which could be read by applying pure thought to certain evidence, certain mystic clues which God had laid about the world to allow a sort of philosopher's treasure hunt to the esoteric brotherhood. He believed that these clues were to be found partly in the evidence of the heavens and in the constitution of elements (and that is what gives the false suggestion of his being an experimental natural philosopher), but also partly in certain papers and traditions handed down by the brethren in an unbroken chain back to the original cryptic revelation in Babylonia. He regarded the universe as a cryptogram set by the Almighty - just as he himself wrapt the discovery of the calculus in a cryptogram when he communicated with Leibniz. By pure thought, by concentration of mind, the riddle, he believed, would be revealed to the initiate.

The Royal Society began life as the Invisible College, and was made up exclusively of esotericists. One of its most notable achievements was to popularise the Gnostic myth of Darwinism, thus leading half the world into the biggest act of folly in the whole of history, denying the existence of a creator.
Like it or not, the evidence paints a clear picture, regardless of what popular opinion says on the legitimacy of science.

The point is that, although we hope that knowledge offers the key to transcendence., in reality, it is a "set up". The secrets offered in the kabbalistic tree of life are irrelevant to life when we really understand that our true purpose, is not to know creation, but to know the creator.

How Long Is A Piece Of String Theory?

Years ago, my mate had a theory that "high end" Hi Fi turntables were, so good that they were rubbish. What he was saying that, the arms were so sensitive, you couldn't walk across the floor without them skating across the record. He was right
.
The same applies to the new self service checkouts at Morrisons. One day the machine was just eating my coins without registering them. When the manager had opened up the coin mechanism, he found bits of fluff that had clogged it up. He maintained that the machines were state of the art, to which my reply was, "They're so good, they're rubbish" It's true.

The principal can apply to all sorts of stuff, String theory for example. It's so clever, it,s rubbish.
How can you measure how long a piece of string is without giving a value to something that is immeasurable?
Then there is Super String and M theory, D brane theory and 11 different dimensions.

It's at the point where more faith is required to believe it, than to believe in the supernatural.

Maybe science is a religion. It certainly punches above it's weight in my opinion.
I am quite convinced that aspects of modern science are just a form of legitimised gnosticism but maybe that's another story.

On a slightly different note, I was quite surprised when I looked up the definition of "technocracy" It appears that "Social sciences" are not included in the definition. I would disagree most strongly, since it is clear that the development of social science at the time of the enlightenment, most definitely became a tool by which the ruling elites, "managed" society. maybe the dictionary writers are not as insightful as one would have hoped.
