I digress from the point I wanted to discuss.As I was saying : years ago when I was a Christian and there were discussions about the occult and cults I never noticed that there wasn't much distinction made between the two. My, and most other Christians I was exposed to, believed that cults were these overtly Satanic organizations and there was always sacrifice and dark powers involved etc.It was only years ago when I had parted ways with religion in general, that I watched a documentary on the dumbox which detailed cults that were actually christian. It was an eye opener for me but once I absorbed this knowledge and looked back to my teen years with this new filter and replayed many conversations and views that we had in the church(es) I had been in. Never ever was there any discussion or warnings or any mention whatsoever of these Christian fanatic cults that actually were quite common and prevalent all over the world at that time.I found this a curious fact.My brain took this and ran with it.Why would they not talk about it ? Warn folks of it ? Make us aware of it ?The only things I can come up with are that they were afraid it might make us stop an look at ourselves as Christians with a different perspective. Anyone with a brain and carefully thinks things through can see that there are so many parallels with cults and main stream religions The differences between them is that the cults sort of go against the mainstream in terms of their dogma, as well as perhaps some of their rules may be slightly more extreme, but this is far outweighed by their similarities.It only really becomes easier to see once one puts some distance between ones self and all that religion has to offer. Like the cults, religion is simply an organized and manipulated superstition fed to the masses in order to keep us in a constant state of fear, guilt and bliss all churned together and twisted into something unrecognizable serving only to further confuse us and take our attention away from what is happening around us.
At least, thats how it was for me.
Look my view did not simply change overnight. It took me years before I began to trust my gut and started reading as many books on the subject as well as other esoteric concepts.During my research I came to notice very many books had points of similarity but most were more opinion than simply renditions of discovered facts.That is until I chanced on a copy of the 12th Planet by Zecharia Sitchin. A world reknowned scholar who was one of the few people who could read ancient Sumerian, a civilization that flourished around 6000 years ago between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in ancient Mesopatamia. Modern day Iraq.He had been translating around 5000 tablets with detailed histories and royal king's lists. The stuff that came out of these tablets blew my mind.Too much made sense and predated any other texts and had too many similarities to modern day texts for me to discount it as mumbo jumbo.I am not going into it here, read it yourself if you have an interest and you aren't some lazy ass internet troll with chips dribbling off your chin.The point is that was the last straw for me and religion and I finally rid myself of my 5 Jupiters.
I don't really know what I am any more.
I'm not an atheist. I believe a more plausible and even quite probable possibility is that we reincarnate. I know I have a spirit. I feel it deeply. What its purpose or path is I don't know.This is one of the most exciting mysteries of life for me and I will keep on digging and digging till I find out what the hell is going on - or till I die not fucking knowing.I read another book a few years ago, a book that oddly enough I have had to buy 4 times now, as people never seem to give it back. It always goes mysteriously missing or the borrower does. Bastards - you know who you are?It was called Journey of Souls. Sounds like new age gobbledy gook doesn't it ?Oddly enough it was nothing of the sort.The guy who wrote it is a psychologist who uses hypnotherapy on patients. He does this by allowing them to regress to their past lives to re-live whatever it was that is causing them to ail in this life. For example, a guy with constant and severe neck pain which the doctors have no remedy for is regressed back to when he was a pioneer in the american wild west, but was killed by an arrow in the neck. Once refression is done the pain in the neck goes away.
Please stay with me as this goes further...
So one day, he gets a plan and regresses a patient to the point of death and asks him to describe the process of death and also where his soul goes before eventual rebirth.So he gets the description of some interesting stuff and gets another bright idea and starts doing the same thing with, eventually, hundreds of other patients none of whom know each other at all.Here's the kicker.They all pretty much described the same thing. WTF ?Where there's smoke there's fire. My gut tells me this guy is on to something.To be fair, I find it hard to dismiss this as mere coincidence.The information forthcoming from these people is staggering in its implications of our purpose of existence.Read it for yourself and feel free to let me know what you think. I have read a lot of weird ass nonsense attempting to portray itself as truth in my life and I did not get that at all from this. It was more like, hey let me report what I found... period.Maybe I am wrong, wouldn't be the first time. But if this is closer to whats really going on, it sort of makes it so much more important for us to become truly aware of ourselves so that we may discover what it is that we have come here to learn in this round of life in order to progress and grow which will ultimately broaden our ability to experience things.
Religions and cults and occult cults are a waste of time.Things designed (fuck knows why) to unbalance us and keep us unaware of ourselves and our purpose here. To stunt us. To feed on us, more specifically our fear and guilt(who knows how or why someone needs that from us). Maybe I am dead wrong and the Christians are all right. Maybe its actually the Jews or even the Muslims. If only one religion is right, I will see most of the rest of you in HELL.
According to most religions........there can be only one (correct one).Will the Duncan Macloud of religions reveal itself one day ? Or will they all be revealed to be what they are ?
Personally, if I am wrong, I hope its the Atheists that are right, at least I won't go to hell I'll just be fucking dead.
But I can't be an atheist anyway....all they seem to spend their time doing is dissing the poor christians on forums such as this. I ain't got the energy for that.
Hope this helps anyone out there with their Jupiters.
Jah Bless.
