You can’t go online and research anything without coming
across the ‘illuminati’. Apparently, these
are the elite who really run the world (and you can see just what a great job
they’re doing!), they rope in all the top celebrities and are soooo evil
because they believe in and worship the devil!!! Wooooh! Scary stuff!
They’re supposed to be interconnected with the Freemasons
and a load of other secret societies who, allegedly, possess old ‘knowledge’ or
‘magic’. They share symbols (pentagons, all seeing eyes etc) and you go through
a ceremony or initiation when you join. Miley Cyrus is supposed to be one, and
that would be enough to ensure it’s a club that I, and I’m sure many others, would
never want to join!
I have actively avoided mentioning any of this up until now
because I think it is all just another load of old crap, designed to distract and
divide us, while the mega-rich continue to plunder the world’s resources for
themselves.
Now if you want to run around with your trousers up over
your knees, give secret handshakes (like a bunch of schoolboys), cover one of
your eyes in photos and make hand gestures to signify your loyalty to Satan,
then you really need to take a long hard look at yourself and grow up. Just
writing that shows how absurd and rather pathetic it all is, ‘Oh, look at us! We’re
Satanists, how evil are we?!’
If you look at it logically, if you believe in the devil,
then you have to believe in God, I mean, you cannot have the ultimate evil
without the ultimate good, it goes against the laws of physics. And I know
whose side I would want to be on.
In the Navajo tradition, they believe that man is bad and
has to learn to be good, a bit like the old Catholic teaching on original sin
but not as fascist. I don’t think the Navajo would have excluded a child from
the family burial plot because someone hadn’t poured water on its head and said
some ‘magic’ words. The more you break this stuff down, the more ridiculous it
all appears. How could competent and
intelligent people have been persuaded to believe this?! Then again, look around!
There was a time when I believed that man was inherently
good but the events of this last year have made me reassess that belief. When
you look at it logically, again, we have to learn to be, not only good, but to
be human/humane. As M. Scott Peak pointed out in The Road Less Travelled series,
it is natural to defecate in your pants, but you learn to control it, just as
you can learn how to behave and control your emotions and actions.
There are several well known cases of children brought up
with animals who adopted the behaviour of the animals. Psychology will also
tell you that if language and a host of other ‘human’ behaviours have not been acquired
by the age of 7, then the chances of acquiring them after that become slim. It
would appear therefore, that there are no inherent instincts or behaviours that
make us human and our ‘humanity’ is something that has to be learned. We are
animals, whether we like to believe it or not; I was going to say animals with
manners, but I don’t think our manners are as good as many other animal species
(eg: elephants). In the face of that, I
think we need to show a lot more humility, and a lot less arrogance, about who
we think we are and what we know.
M Scott Peck in People of the Lie pointed to laziness as the
source of underlying evil in humanity. Being good requires effort, being evil
requires no effort at all. Consciousness is that effort and begins early in
humans, anyone who has children will remember the three year old who asked why,
why, why? We also learn what we are allowed to question and what we are not. If
you live in a society where you are forbidden from challenging or asking
questions about that society and/or the belief systems you live under, you
never develop beyond the psychological boundaries of childhood and mature into
full adult consciousness. You remain passive and obedient, mindlessly accepting
and believing everything you’ve been told or, at least, pretending to.
Ireland has had one of the hardest lockdowns in the world over
the ‘pandemic’ and has been one of the least vocal in speaking out against it
and the restrictions. The consciousness of the majority of the population remains
undeveloped and immature. Centuries of British rule and the autocracy of the
Catholic Church have created a passive and cowardly population. Here in the
north, there is an additional factor to that submissiveness. On the nationalist side, many people still
fear Sinn Fein and what they, or their cohorts, might do if they go up against
them. The silence against lockdown has been deafening on the nationalist side,
a side many would have thought would have been the first to object to having
their freedom taken away. But it’s amazing what the Council for Foreign
Relations (aka CIA) can buy for €4.6m (Political principles, Ms McDonald? That’ll do nicely, Mr Haass.) See link below.
There have been several voices of dissent on the
Unionist/Protestant side (Sammy Wilson, Van Morrison) which, when you look at
history, comes as no surprise. The first ‘Irish rebels’ were Presbyterians,
going back to Wolfe Tone in 1798 and, in the Easter Rising, there were many
from the Presbyterian tradition initially involved in the fight for freedom and
equality. It was only afterwards, on the issue of Home Rule, that the divide
opened up across religious grounds, leading to the political division of a
mainly Protestant North and a Catholic South. These were the same tactics the
British used to divide India from Pakistan and set Muslim against Hindu, and
vice versa.
The false humility promoted by ‘Christianity’, along with
nationalism/republicanism, has created a culture of victimhood and martyrdom.
The nodding assent on display is the result of a population who are not used to
thinking for themselves, or questioning authority, or rather the authorities
who are supposed to be on their side. Religious, political and community leaders
continue to exploit this victimhood mentality to maintain power and control
over the masses. (A strategy not confined to Ireland and now being used by the manipulators
behind the BLM movement). This is not to say that the Irish haven’t endured
some horrific abuses over the centuries and there is a kind courage in bearing
suffering that is beyond your control. But none at all, when it is fully within
your control as a grown adult.
When it comes to being good or evil, I don’t care if you
worship God or Satan. I do however,
believe that both those entities are the excuse many use for a lot of
self-righteous hypocrisy and some extremely questionable behaviour. I believe
the choice between good and evil is ours and our alone, but it does require
consciousness, and that can only be fully achieved with the right support and
advice growing up, and begins with observing, thinking and asking questions. People
may be able to control your actions at times, and we may not always be allowed
to openly question what we are being told, but the majority of us still have
the capacity to think, even if we can’t always express those thoughts.
Some believe that we need religion to provide the moral
framework for the development of a conscience and that, without religion, people
would not be good at all and evil would flourish. I disagree; there are some
religions/belief systems that are fairly benign, eg: Buddhism, but the evils
committed under Christianity would do Hitler proud and are no guarantee that a
person will act morally or from a place of consciousness. Religion may tell us what to believe but consciousness
makes us think.
When we think about evil, we think about the great evils of
Stalin or Hitler who as I pointed out in previous posts, never actually killed
anyone. As Scott Peck pointed out, there is another low level of evil, within
all of us that we need to be aware of and recognise. We would consider breaking
a child’s bones an evil act, but would we feel the same about a resentful and
jealous parent breaking a child’s spirit? Or what about the overly involved parent,
who gives their child everything, as a way of emotionally manipulating the
child and sabotaging their autonomy?
Then there are the diabolical horrors committed by humans against
each other when in a state of war, or in defence of an ideology. I’m only a
couple of chapters into the Gulag Archipelago and I’m appalled to think about
the minds that dreamt up the tortures detailed in it. It’s easy to think the
perpetrators were psychotic, and I’m sure there were a few psychos among them,
but they couldn’t all have been, or maybe the devil made them do it.
As Solzhenitsyn points out in Chapter 4, ‘If only there were
evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary
only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing
good and evil, cuts through the heart of every human being’.
He acknowledges the potential within himself to do what his
tormentors are doing. He wonders how he would behave if his life had taken a
different direction, and questions what makes decent men complicit within these
types of situations. He concludes that it is because they believe they are
doing good and, as the old saying goes, ‘The road to hell is paved with good
intentions’.
The corruption on display around the world by those in power
today could make one think that maybe they are minions of Satan and Old Nick,
himself, is running the show. But I’m not convinced. They say the devil makes work for
idle hands but I think it is the weak minded who are most easily led towards corruption.
I don’t know if the Illuminati are a real thing
or are just a few deluded celebrities desperately trying to give themselves
some ‘street cred’. Illuminati means enlightened and if they really are seeking
enlightenment, then they will have difficulty finding it in the vileness that
Satan represents. As Jordan Peterson says, ‘truth is the path to true
enlightenment’ and truth is the very antithesis of the devil, aka, the Father
of Lies.
The population, at present, are being lied to on a grand
scale. The powers behind the lies have been doing this for decades and are well
practised in making a lie appear as truth, and the truth, a lie. They use
censorship and propaganda to confuse and misdirect us, and people have been
manipulated into believing they are doing good by wearing masks,
social-distancing and taking ‘vaccines’, without any real scientific truth being
presented to validate those claims . Debates rage in families and online
regarding the efficacy of these measures and keep us divided and distracted,
again.
The only defence against a lie is to consciously seek the
truth and be authentic, and that begins with us and us alone. We have within us
the power to do good or evil, and recognising and acknowledging our capacity
for evil, as well as good, is the first step towards consciousness, and that
requires honesty and effort. As we try to navigate our way through the web of
lies and deceit that has been created as part of this ‘crisis’, remember the
words of Edmund Burke, ‘The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do
nothing’, so think on.
