Great post my friend! Your thoughts parallel mine in many ways, especially coming from a theistic perspective. We have had great discussions in other posts!
I've had family members and "friends" tell me that asking questions of this nature are "blasphemous" and not for man to know. However, if we simply just go through our existence on autopilot and believing whatever a particular cult tells us to believe, then we aren't making the most out of life and are ignoring the inner mechanisms by which the universe works.
I totally agree with your assessment that there is an evil demiurge that is responsible for the creation of this matrix and the empirical evidence shows that the ones who rise to power as well as the ones that are already entrenched at the top of the pyramid "serve" a dark force and I speculate that one cannot attain that plateau unless their spirit or intentions are aligned with that particular force. At least for the last 5,000 years the world has operated under the Babylonian/Egyptian/Sumerian slave system and it has been steadily marching towards a totalitarian world order. Societies and governments pre-tend to abhor and punish violence but the reality of the situation is that they glorify it and are the greatest perpetrators of aggression.
We are dealing with 3 main unholy entities: legalism, banking, and the universal church, all of which operate in undeclared wars of attrition against the common people.
I became fascinated with deconstructing mystery Babylon while reading Von Clausewitz's
On War and drawing parallels between the major philosophies of the past 200 years, primarily Christian eschatology, Lenin & Marxist communism, Islamic Jihad, Albert Pike's Morals and Dogma, and other branches of Western Esoteric thought- Rosicrucianism, Gnosticism, Theosophy, Steiner, etc.
Does War emerge naturally out of the human condition? Or is it something that we are manipulated into by the archon(s)?
If either be a yes, then is it a part of the natural Dualistic cycles of life/death, light/dark, growth/decay, creation/destruction?
There are no clear demarcation lines and even the "holy books" that have been written are internally contradictory.
Duality in the Bible is a most prevalent example being divided internally by the old and new testaments. The old testament falls apart under scrutinization and is full of absurd contradictions. The idealogues who wrote it filled it with their ideas of a bloodthirsty god, demanding child and blood sacrifices, condoning incest, and giving a list of absolute nots- while simultaneously advocating war and the slaughter of surrounding ethnic tribes- Philistines (Palestinians), Ephramites, Ammonites, and Edomites just to name a few.
To myself, this represents the worship of the dark deity and the old testament is the dark half of the dualistic and polarized bible.
Christos and his teachings would be the light half and anyone who desires to follow him should not even use the false and flattering title of "Christian" as Christ was no respecter of persons and titles. True followers of Christ should also respect no government of men and turn away from the darkness to the light.
Thanks for the thoughtful and passionate post, Chad!
I'm pretty well in agreement with you on most of what you've said.
I came across The Natural Persons philosophy about 15-years ago and it's one aspect of this that I don't really buy into. It could be, though, and it is consistent with this place being the property of archons of the demiurge.
I don't identify at all as a normative Christian with all the usual moral stigmas attached to it; I mostly view them as religious and not spiritual, yet I don't identify as spiritual and not religious...New Age or neoliberal capitalist spiritual propaganda.
I guess I'm just a spiritual independent capable of thinking for myself and coming to my own conclusions or ideas about things.
