What do we need religions for?
To legalize killing? The annunakian religions, which all arose in
the Near East, are religions of war and murder. The self-proclaimed “Lord”
requires from us to kill on his order and in his name. Who does not obey, is
punished even in horrible ways. Who, however, unconditionally and unscrupulously
obeys, is rewarded for such slavish obedience (but harvests a corresponding
karma!). We should not think ourselves, but follow the dictates of his Churches
and corresponding institutions of power and believe them without objection.
It was not much different in many of the earlier religions: the
Romans, in part the Greek, the Germanic people and the Vikings, the Aztecs and
others. But there were also at least comparatively peaceful religions: the
Celts, (at least the later) Incas, the original Mayas (before they were
conquered by the Aztecs), and still to day the mainly quite peaceful Hindus.
Jesus taught us love and peace – and was killed for it. The
Gnostic original Christians then carried his teachings on, until they were
exterminated. Then the religions of murder again took full power over us, with
fanaticism having the character of an epidemic popular psychosis.
How long shall we participate in this? When will we finally
listen to our heart rather than to the preachers, who in own interest of power
repeat old stories and even fairy tales that they want to impose on us? When
will we finally make ourselves free from such dominating tutelage, emancipate
ourselves and grow up morally? Even if it might cost our life, because who
participates in evil only to save his own skin has miscalculated himself and
carries a heavy karma to the future.
The Gnostic Christians did that and were eradicated. Their texts
were destroyed, but it will have been a plan of the Highest One (who is far
above the above-mentioned “Lord”) that they were secretly preserved, until they
were found in 1945 in Nag Hammadi. Is the time now come to find back to a true
Christianity?
Even though the Gnosticism arouse out of Jesus’ teachings in the
inner circle it is rather a spiritual science than a religion. Is it that not
what we need? A true spiritual science, a spiritual cosmology, a
philosophy and the freedom to think for ourselves? In spite of all resistance to
it…
Rather a philosophy than a religion is also what we have in the
original Buddhism (the modified Tibetan Buddhism is, however, rather a Religion
that venerates various divinities).
We already have such things in the world to day in concepts like
esoterics and “New Age”, regrettably quite fragmented and partly turned into
business. The ever-yesterday’s fundamentalists regard this as the work of the
devil, and there are therein quite some things that are dark and misleading –
but not all of it. It is here necessary to separate the chaff from the wheat.
We may be experiencing the beginning of the birth of a new
humanity that one regrettably tries to prevent by all means – violence, war,
suppression. Until this new humanity finally arises on the rubble of the
collapsed old, like a phoenix out of its ashes. Most of us will be there when it
happens, but the majority in a new body – because there is no death. The soul is
immortal. But not all of us, since some inveterate ones will probably incarnate
elsewhere in cosmos, so that they can there live out their war mania and
ideology of violence, until they also understand.
But it seems that the actual ideology of war and violence at the
end will have to become its own judge in a kind of suicide attack on humanity…
What is then a real religion?
There will be three starting points:
1. The
“big bang” – the to me hard to believe hypothesis of the materialistic official
science that at a point “zero” a probably inconceivably compressed
unconscious original piece of matter exploded, so that out of that
everything in the universe came to be by itself. The critical but
unanswerable questions are then: What exploded? What was before that? Did
someone make it happen? (The red-shift in the universe can also be explained
differently.)
2. An
inconceivable original creator in the shape of a conscious primordial
energy let this all come out of himself. Here the questions would be: From where
did he come? Was there something before him?
3. A
very new hypothesis of our time: the
universe is a sort of holographic matrix, like a kind of computer
simulation. Questions: What “computer”? Who is playing the game? Who has
“programmed” it, and for what?
The most probable hypothesis is for me the second one, since it
fits to most creation doctrines of various religions (even though they may be
given by – various – extraterrestrials), and it makes most sense for me.
How can we find an answer?
The sad thing is that we never will! All we can do is to make our
mind listen to our heart (rather than the preachers). The mind will never make
it without the intuition and emotional response of the heart.
The other way it goes astray.
“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is
essential is invisible to the eye.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: The Little Prince, Chapter XXI.
This will mean that there is no ‒ and
cannot be any ‒ universal religion!
Religion will, therefore, always be an
individual and a personal matter. The etymology of the word is probably that it
is derived from a prefixed Latin re-ligare, i.e. re (again) +
ligare (bind, connect) or “to reconnect.” Reconnect ‒ with what? With our
origin! Or origins? Generally assumed to be our original creator(s), or the
original creator of it all, the universe. There will be as many ways to that as
there are “ways to Rome”... What is valid for one person may not be the same as
what is valid for another. There will always be valid differences. But not very
big ones. The BIG ones are the more doubtful, the bigger they are. To find our
proper personal religion, we have to listen to our heart and not to the
preachers, who preach in there own interests of power and profit...
This also means that we have to respect the
religions of the others. There will, however, be only one common
denominator: love and harmony, to never harm others. No violence, no brutal
conflicts, no killing, no wars ‒ peaceful acceptance of each other’s peaceful
views.
And one more thing: a “god” that requires war,
killing, revenge and bloodshed can never be a true God!!! But only some
kind of a demon that in its own selfish interest wants to lead us astray,
and who drops us when he doesn’t need us anymore.
The Church is alienated from Jesus
This is obvious from its actions that are
contrary to what Jesus taught us, such as peace, and love even for those who
consider themselves to be our enemies. Hard abominable facts need not be
repeatedly described, but merely mentioned: antichristian acts like inquisition, burning of
“witches” and “heretics”, the genocide of the Cathars, instigation and support of
wars, and so on and on. But also hindering and condemning movements that are
truly Christian in the very sense that Jesus taught, such as:
liberation theology
and the highly social and humanitarian
Jesuit Missions in Paraguay in the 17th and 18th centuries, see also
here. To mention
but a few examples...
