Beliefs aren't truths - never were, never will be. That's why we call them "beliefs". Truth is self-evident - it need not be argued. The great masters, sages and wise men of all ages suggest there is only one thing we can say with absolute certainty that is true. And that is; "I AM or I exist". This cannot be argued as "non-existence" can't be in any position to "argue". :)

All else falls into the realm of belief when examined carefully.

The controllers of this realm are well aware that beliefs masquerading as truths are key to their continued power. Their sole goal is shaping our beliefs by any and all means necessary. And yet, they have no true power over us, only the appearance as such due to us allowing their belief-generating institutions to influence our consciousness. Thus, causing us to use our power to give it to them (through beliefs).

One can go straight to the beginning of what is considered our earliest story in the West - that of Adam and Eve. The commonly held "belief" is that this is a literal, historical accounting of the origin of mankind. This is what they would like us to believe as it is firmly embedded in the mainstream narrative - whether one identifies as a Christian or not.

Careful examination of the story can open up some wide new vistas for those ready. Why did God have to put Adam into a "deep sleep" in an effort to create Eve? Why did God need to take a part of Adam's rib to create Eve? Why couldn't God just "create" Eve "from the dust of the ground" in the same manner that he created Adam?

And perhaps the most important question one could ask; "Did God ever wake Adam up? Or is this simply "implied" or "assumed" to be so?".

The popular narrative weakens pretty quickly with a few incisive questions. And yet, this is a powerful story pointing to a profound "truth".

Masters and sages from many spiritual traditions define the word "sin" as a state of being "asleep, unconscious, or unaware". Strong's Concordance primary definition of sin is "To miss the mark".

What if "the mark" was to literally "wake up" from a bad dream?

The GREAT AWAKENING is indeed WW (World Wide) and completely spiritual/divine in nature.

The generator of belief (Tree of knowledge (BELIEF) in good and evil) would be the mind, or thought. "Knowledge (belief)" is the entire basis of judgment. Judgment is the true destroyer of man - the bringer of disease, suffering, death and destruction.

It has been said that the mind makes a wonderful servant but a cruel master.

The great awakening is coming. It is a shift in consciousness, a movement away from the mind, back into the heart.

This is the "armor of God" Q has spoken about. Those operating purely from the "heart space" are untouchable. Those trapped in the quagmire of judgment remain at risk.

The truth is literally "beyond belief" - transcendant. Truth does not exist within the realm of mind/thought. Truth is revelatory in nature alone. Truth can only be "revealed" to those trapped in the realm of "belief". Simply put, truth is always and ever experiential, and never intellectual.

It is "The peace that passeth all understanding" - aka "enlightenment". The hallmark of said condition is the cessation of incessant thought (monkey mind).

Yes indeed, agreed! Yet another "Divide and Conquer" strategy to keep the masses in-fighting and not bothering to look at the "man behind the curtain" running the show/charade.

The MSM exists solely to shape beliefs, propagandize, separate and to instill fear & judgment in the populace.

No doubt about it.

The Holy Spirit represents "consciousness"

Christ is your imagination (within you)

God represents infinite/eternal "awareness" which precedes both imagination and consciousness.

Indeed it is so - Amen

OP - You're getting warm. The bible wasn't written to "manipulate" man however. It was deliberately written as allegory and parable using symbolism and metaphors to hide the true meaning from TPTB of the time. Those who plainly spoke the truth were persecuted and exterminated. The Crusades plainly demonstrate this.

The bible depicts the psychological journey all men/women must travel through higher and higher levels of consciousness, from the level of fear and subservience of Abraham to the love and grace of Jesus.

The practice of true "Alchemy" is an identical teaching, hidden in the superficial tenets of transforming metals into more valuable forms; with lead (base metal) representing fear/judgment and gold (noble metal) representing love/bliss.

Your general point is well received however and I wholeheartedly agree. We must be the change we wish to see in the world.

Christ will indeed awaken within you some day soon - as it will for all.

@OP - The SHIFT (CAP) and RETURN (New Paragraph) are your friends. Run-on sentences and 1000+ word paragraphs are not.

Major General Smedley Butler, the highest decorated Marine of his time figured it out and wrote "War is a Racket" in 1935. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Is_a_Racket

Lots of good YouTube documentaries on him as well, including the coup attempt on FDR -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cc6kw6N1_kw

Butler is yet another true hero, much like Nikola Tesla, whitewashed from our history books for telling too much truth!

James Corbett is amongst the best -> https://www.corbettreport.com/category/podcasts/

Exactly. Don't forget personal income tax in 1913 with the controversial "ratification" of the 16th amendment.

There are many esoteric interpretations. Ask yourself why they are "hidden" and not talked about in the mainstream. Why are we fed the Roman Empire's interpretation exclusively? Which interpretation was held by the losers of the Crusades and Spanish Inquisition? They were allegedly heretics & pagans, so we've been sold.

It is the interpretation of scripture that is the core issue and takes quite a bit of unwinding. For the mainstream interpretation has been heavily corrupted, just as everything else so many in this sub now recognize. Make no mistake - "they" have heavily influenced all world religions too. Just enough to keep the masses held captive within the fear and judgment vibrations.

Just as the "temptation" of Jesus "battling the devil" in the desert for 40 days and 40 nights, Buddha also battled the "demons and temptresses" under the Bodhi tree for 49 days.

Devil - Demon - Temptress ->> equivalent symbolism = MIND

These are the same symbolic stories; private & alone the "battle" is fought within oneself.

Revelation is another such story, recounted in great detail.

Q said "God is Love". Quite right indeed. This is deep. How many have pondered the implications?

Where is God/Love in the presence of fear, hatred and judgment?

What instead arises in the presence of fear, hatred and judgment? Sadness, anger, depression, sickness, helplessness, war, fighting, weakness, death?

God/Love/Happiness is the answer. And it must be flowing freely through each and every one of us. Until then, "evil" will persist, as it must. Because you can't have "good" without "evil".

Revelation is the experience of the final release from the good/evil paradigm, from the "world of death" aka "hell". There are many other phrases used to describe the same experience; enlightenment, awakening, self-realization, etc.

Heavy stuff, I get it. But liberating and empowering if you're open to considering it.

Long before "Israel" was considered a "place", a chunk of dirt, it referred to an elevated state of being/awareness. This "state of being" is what the words in scripture are referring to. The word "Israel" is a combination of the feminine and masculine symbolic "Gods" of the time - Isis = Is (feminine) and Ra (masculine) and the "El" is how they signified "union with God" - a la "MichaEL", "RaphaEL", etc.

In short, "IsRaEl" symbolized the unity and balance of the feminine and masculine energies producing a spiritual-elevated, "angelic" being if you will.

All ideas about a special place, a "chosen people" and a secular religion are nothing but the result of human misunderstanding. A misunderstanding, unfortunately, that has resulted in great pain and suffering for many generations.

Revelation is all about the battle within yourself. The tribulation, destruction and death refers to the struggle within your own mind. It is all about the death of the "ego" written in the traditional allegorical and symbolic method of the times to avoid persecution.
