"The very Deep did rot: Oh Christ! That ever this should be! Yea, slimy
things did crawl with legs Upon the slimy sea."
~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge ~
What Went Wrong with Western Civilization
Spiritual monism is the popular belief that either good, or evil, is the
predominant moral force on Earth. This involves imaginative wishfulness about the supposed destiny of one to eventually triumph
over the other. In this mode of error, evil is thought of as being a mere pathological deviation which can somehow be "cured."
Ironically, the ongoing "cures" institutionalized by collective human action have been responsible for most of the real evil
faced by human societies throughout the ages.
The majority of exploiting masters in history have made use of monistic
spirituality to misdirect populations into serving their purposes. To what extent this has been done with contrived awareness
is of no real importance. It is actions which effect other people, not intentions. Usually such leaders have accomplished
their goals by identifying one group in society as being somehow responsible for the plight of another group, and then exploiting
both the feelings of guilt on one side, and a desire for "justice" on the other. The leaders explain that when the "evil"
individuals are finally defeated, that "good" will prevail.
Out of the rise of monistic Judaism came Christianity
and it's popularization in the third century AD. The most sophisticated exploiters of monistic Christianity were the clergy,
and in their desire for worldly power, they succeeded in throwing away most of the vast accumulated knowledge of ancient civilization
through the destruction of many of the great libraries (1). At the same time, they renamed, reapplied, or revised whatever
Pagan wisdom they deemed useful to the achievement of their own objectives.
The following centuries saw a continuation
of all the usual war, plunder, rape, and torture but also a tremendous decline in the arts and sciences accompanied by a tremendous
rise in the kind of murderous bigotry which always accompanies insane religiosity. This became institutionalized and provided
the rationale for the murder of over nine million "heretics," often people of dualist spirituality: Zoroastrians, Manicheans, Albigensians, Cathars, Templars,
and "Witches." (2)
Christianity further consolidated it's power by teaching the flocks that man, through his natural
desires had fallen from grace, and that since God had sacrificed for him, that he had incurred a debt thereby. The way that
all these "sinners" could absolve their guilt, avoid eternal damnation, and pay their debt to God was through His emissaries,
the clergy. The believers were very conscientious in this, dressing their holy men in silk, adorning them with jewels, and
ensconcing them in vaulted marble palaces, surrounded by priceless treasure, great libraries, and works of art.
Accompanying
the stubborn rise of an entrepreneurial middle class came the Age of Enlightenment with a tremendous decline in the worldly
power of Christianity. Interestingly today, even most Christians refer to the period of their own domination on Earth as "The
Dark Ages." The modern Christian is however, usually very different from those of the Medieval Period (3).
With the
rise of the international banking families came a new specter to haunt mankind (4). These families who live in great
luxury at the expense of brainwashed populations continued the use of monistic ideologies appealing to apathetic masses. Exploitation
of the dishonest idea that wealth earned honorably can somehow be "excess" and that not sharing is first under Judeo-Christianity,
sinful, and later under collectivist government, criminal, has been increasingly used to rationalize escalating government
theft. The effect has been to negate a great deal of what humanity might have otherwise accomplished, because of constant
interference with the natural progress of the producing elements in society (5).
The insidious behind-the-scenes manipulation
of virtually all western nations by international finance, and the establishment of institutionalized wealth redistribution
began the process of what is now rapidly accelerating into the destruction in humanity of everything that is strong, solid,
and viable, while at the same time giving temporary artificial nurture to, and thereby increasing, everything that is weak,
rotten, and non-viable. Non-producing elements can only be relieved of the consequences of their unworkable life strategies
for so long.
The deliberate creation by international bankers, through the Treaty of Versailles, of conditions which
would inevitably lead to a Second World War and their subsequent financing of both sides in that conflict, has understandably
lead to the massive falsification of history since that time. For those who seek the truth however, there is a considerable
body of highly specific, factual, and well documented literature dealing with this period. The truth has not been lost, it
has simply been propagandized into obscurity by those very powerful people who gain immensely from doing so (6).
One
may well reach the point of feeling that there is no real way to know what is true and what is not. What it finally comes
to, is simply who one prefers to believe. Is it those, who by war and economic upheaval, profit through manipulative and coercive
power over others? Or is it those who would profit only by being allowed to justly keep what they earn, honorably and peacefully,
in a free society? Choose!
The student is sternly advised to pursue unflinchingly a specific knowledge of these matters. Those who will not
seek further in this are just apathetic boot-lickers with no effective patriotism, moral courage, or genuine love of liberty.
