Anarchistbanjo's World

I believe in the soul, its powers, and the spiritual or nonphysical worlds. I experience them on a daily basis and to me there is nothing theoretical about them. But it is not politically correct to believe in the soul, the astral planes or spirituality in general. Rational atheists have attacked spirituality and attempted to replace it with social morality! They say that man can live without religion but moral law is eternal and absolute. What they’re trying to do is take the best from religion and spirituality and leave the soul and the nonphysical realities behind.

But it doesn’t really matter because the rational atheists are simply trying to replace one higher authority with another. They are trying to replace a spiritual authority with a moral authority. They are trying to replace a divine authority with a man-made external authority. So there is no longer any need to proclaim that God is love because it has been turned around and the new saying is love is divine! The real truth is that the dominion of morality is just as complete as the dominion of Christianity or any other religion. Dominion is dominion! External authority is external authority!

In the past religion has taught that only faith can reveal truth. Now only human reason can reveal truth. What about direct personal experience? Organic Gnosticism? Direct enlightenment? I guess none of these things exist! What about a truth that is unique to each individual?

Thought, logic and reason, have taken the place of spirituality and religion. The mind is no longer occupied with spiritual things, but is now occupied with mental thoughts that are just as intangible and immaterial. When morality is able to stand on its own apart from spirit it is no longer grounded in the divine. It is no longer spiritual. Man is no longer controlled and directed by God, but controlled and directed by man. But man is still directed and commanded to ignore his own welfare in favor of some higher power!

The world is going crazy! People imagine all kinds of things that have no basis in reality. They are obsessed with the politically correct! I’m not joking when I say that I consider these people fools, fools in a madhouse! So what is this obsession, that society has been possessed with? What does it mean to be politically correct? There was a time when people were locked up in lunatic asylums because of their obsessions. But in today’s world we are not allowed to say anything against, not to doubt, the politically correct.

Being politically correct has become an obsession. It fills our newspapers and mainstream media with the babble of fools who suffer from the obsession of morality, legality, Christianity and so on. The only reason this is not recognized is because it is taking place on such a large scale. Dare to challenge the beliefs of such fools, and you will have to guard your back against the stealthy attacks of lunatics. For they will attack by stealth anyone who dares challenge their politically correct obsessions.

First they will take away his guns, then steal away free speech, and then they will beat him with hammers and nails. Every day reveals the cowardice and vindictiveness of these crazy maniacs. And the stupid populace cheers at what they are doing! You only have to watch the mainstream media and hear these people talk to get the horrible conviction that you are shut up in a house with fools.

Is there any difference between a poor fool in an insane asylum obsessed with the idea that he is God the father, the Emperor of Japan, the Holy Spirit or some other great being and the citizen obsessed with the conviction that it is his mission in life to be a good Christian, a faithful Protestant, a loyal citizen, a virtuous person? All of these are obsessions and they take possession of one’s soul in the same way.

These idiots never put their obsessions about being politically correct under the searching knife of criticism. Their belief in the politically correct is unshakable, like the delusion of a madman, whose insane thoughts stand on the firm foundation of conviction and upon the sacred! Yes, the obsession about being politically correct is what has become truly sacred in our world!

Is the devil the only one that possesses people and makes them become obsessed with crazy ideas? Why can’t there be people possessed by idealistic and fanciful dreams of goodness and light? Obsessed by glorious ideas and higher causes! Obsessed people are set in their convictions and will not budge. They will not even consider the possibility that they might be wrong. That seems to be what our world has become!

If I cherish you because I love you, because my heart finds nourishment in you, my needs find satisfaction, then I cherish you out of egoistic pleasure because you yourself are valuable to me. You are not sacred and above all others, but you are unique and I love you because you are you! No one else can be to me what you are to me.

But others prefer that I cherish you because you are part of something higher, family, marriage, church, a fellow countryman or even because you are a human. You are viewed as part of something larger than life, not as who you really are. Mother, father, husband, wife, brother, sister, lover, Christian, Atheist, worker, patriot, and so on. But these are all just small roles we play in life compared to the multi dimensional beings that we really are! We are larger than the roles that we play in life! We are unique individuals!

Is it possible to get behind the mask, behind the roles that we play and discover the real person? Do we even want to? If we know someone too well it becomes hard to hate them or hurt them! If we get too close then we become vulnerable as well and could be hurt. This is a very real danger that we must confront each time we encounter another person and let them into our lives and personal space.

At the same time we need to ask ourselves if we want them to get behind our masks and discover who we really are inside. One of the greatest longings in life is to not be alone, but one of the greatest fears is to really be with someone as we really are and as they really are.

Our world is completely based upon these masks, this lying and deception. Does it really need to be that way? Can’t we be loved for who we really are and love others for who they really are?

No matter who we are there are things that we consider sacred and there are things that we consider profane. This is a difficult subject because truth has been distorted so badly that most of the time it is not even recognized. There are people that are quick to say that everything is relative, that there is no good or evil in this world except for the values that we place upon them. In other words they say that good and evil is relative to each individual and might change from one person to the next.

I would like to share that I believe in the healthy individual, healthy self-esteem and that a healthy human ego is needed to be mentally emotionally, physically and spiritually healthy. However, I disagree with modern psychology in its conclusion that the Shadow and Higher Self are normal parts of the human psyche. I believe they are both secondary personalities that need to be neutralized and absorbed into the normal human ego.

When we think of the Higher Self we think of spiritual things and sacred things, but most of all we think of highly desired spiritual things that we do not believe exist inside of us. We wish that we had them, but we feel that we don’t. Because of this these higher spiritual things remain forever out of reach and unattainable to us. What is really happening is that distortion and unrealistic thinking in our perception of the world cause us to believe in something that really doesn’t exist in the way that we think it does. How many times in life have we finally reached a goal that was very important to us, only to realize that it wasn’t really what we had thought it would be? In this way the Higher Self is a lie that deludes us and seeks to hold itself above us so that we may submit to it and spend our lives in service to and chasing after these higher spiritual truths.

What I’m trying to say is that good does exist inside of us. The divine does exist inside of us. And if we can find these things inside of us we can take possession of them and our lives will become richer and so will the lives of others because we will recognize those things in others as well. Instead of having unrealistic expectations of ourselves and of others we need to have realistic, healthy, and human expectations!

Something similar might be said of the Shadow as well. There are things in this world that are twisted, sick, perverted and evil. I will not deny that. But what I am saying is that the Shadow contains those things which we do find inside of us and try to repel in horror and disgust. Once more it is the distortion and unrealistic thinking and expectation that causes harm. We confront our anger or our sexuality, things that are healthy and human and instead of owning them and accepting them we think that anger is bad and that sexuality is bad so we twist them and repress them until they come out in twisted and perverted ways. We do not recognize what is healthy and what is human as good because we have been taught to hate our own humanity and focus exclusively on the spiritual which we consider good. Our Shadow is only trying to protect us and help us to fulfill our needs in life.

The more we try to become like God the more a part of us becomes like Satan! The more we try to be human, the more human we become! The more human we become, the more human others become as well.
