‘Traveling through a lifetime’

 

We see, touch, feel, smell and then we think. We travel through time and make our own small donation to the gene pool of life. We have opened a doorway to a new tomorrow; we have entered a second Renaissance. Information Technology has and will change cultures and lifestyles and the way we look at ourselves, the universe, plus our creator.

 The second Renaissance started in 1971 at the birth of the personal computer (PC).  The invention of micro-processor led to many new computer based conception that have revolutionised industry, office, military, education, communication and you’re home.  Software has, and, become more sophisticated and allowed information exchange and improvement on communication methods.  The Internet has begun to effect politics throughout the world; Dictatorships and governments are getting worried and are seeking acceptable methods of policing the web.  But because of the structure and that the Internet has too many autonomous publishers and users. China has made a futile attempt to police the internal use in China but their intrusion will fail.  The very fact that pornographic web sites can only be culled and not restricted and completely stopped.

 As long as the Internet remains free of government control, the second Renaissance will open the eyes of the brainwashed masses, and will lead to an open society of free thinking individuals and less corruption and poverty throughout the world. The Internet could have more potential than anyone in power had ever thought. It as already been used by terrorist and activist.

 Timothy Berners-Lee, a British computer scientist, developed the World Wide Web (Internet) in the 1980s.  Originally the system was designed for the U.S. Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency as part of an ongoing project initiated in the 1960s. It seems ironic that a military project has become a tool that could lead to public awareness and eventual world peace and Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} to wake up the sheep.  Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;}

Chapter 1

 

"Deem not the just by Heaven forgot!
Though life its common gifts deny,
Though, with a crushed and bleeding heart,
And spurned of man, he goes to die!
For God hath marked each sorrowing day,
And numbered every bitter tear;
And heaven's long years of bliss shall pay
For all his children suffer here." Bryant.

 

Brainwashing by our environment.

 

We are Products of our Environment.

 

We are but products of our environment, in the early years of our lives, our parents, become our roll models. We take on the virtues and culture of our parents. Normally that culture and its superstitions and believes have been passed down throughout the age’s, generation, to, generation. By the time one reaches adult hood we have adopted many of our parent’s ideals to include their religious faith.

 

It does not matter what ever the religion, Jewish, Christian, Islam etc, normally most parents have tried to ensure that their children, like them try to be good moral citizens that follow the virtues of their faith.  However there are those that have made their children think that they are more superior than, the lower masses or that corruption or crime is okay and accepted as its part of their culture.

Let’s consider the facts, that you have been indoctrinated and brainwashed by your own parents and the environment of your culture!

What if by a quirk of fate the reader had been born into another culture and another religion? Would you be happy to follow a faith, which at present seem obnoxious, or, deemed to be outlandish? Could it be the faithful followers of other religions have been brainwashed to believe in heresy or paganism?  Your politics and beliefs could be completely different than those your present views and due to your environmental upbringing would be completely acceptable to your way of thinking.  Perhaps you could be or are a racialist, a thief, or an anarchist, or a fanatical religious bigot because of your environmental programming? 

 

Are you beginning to see the problem? Do you realize that you yourself have been indoctrinated and brainwashed and you in turn will aid in or have aided in indoctrinating and brainwashing your own children. Allowing your child’s rights and freedom to be equally violated to unable to choose his or her own faith or beliefs once old enough to make his or her mind up.  Your children will mostly end up with a similarly cultural profile as your own and being susceptible to the whims of politician’s advertisers and possibly religious leaders.  The main problem is that the religious or political propaganda seeds are planted so deep that you just behave like a sheep and subdue yourself to the Status Quo of your culture. 

 

Most of us realize that the International and national companies are trying to brainwash the us into buying their products, or our government tries brainwash us to believe they are dedicated to their policies. But most of us have no conception on how the religious groups have used and are using well tried brainwashing techniques gleaned through out the centuries, infective brainwashing.  Within the more established religions most priests and holy men have no clue that they have been indoctrinated into brainwashing their flocks. 

 

The earliest religions started when man became an intelligent species, a specific tribe member would take on the role of spiritual leader (witch doctor or sage). The rules of the tribe would relate to what would appease or what would displease the God/s.  The sun, volcanoes, rivers, planets became the reverent bodies to be worshiped.  The children of the tribe where taught the rules of the tribe and the legends of how the god/s created man etc. Thus the very first cultures created a spiritual religious methodology to keep peace within the tribe. Over the many thousands of years things have not changed much, just more complicated cultural environments. We are the product of our cultural environment and are somewhat like sheep; as we follow the status quo, with blind faith. Most of us have not had the time and patience to read the so-called holy books, to make our own mind up about our faith.   It is obvious that most of us feel that there should be good values to live by, including good morals and we should value our relationships with others, not to be jealous or selfish. This is called being civilized, but we have no real need for priests to tell us what is right and wrong and the threat that we will end up in hell, or the threat that we will live in what I see as boring, everlasting peace in heaven. It is common decency to live by good moral standards and it’s uncivilized not too.

 

The Holy man or Witch doctors of the past knew the value of superstition in controlling the tribe. The tribe would pay homage to their chosen God, the food sacrifice fed the Witch doctor who was too lazy to fish, hunt or farm. Later the Witch doctor found other ways to place food on his/her table, such as trading healing balms and herbs or to create tricks that made him/her a magical entity.  Tribal leaders later posed as son of a god and used superstition to control the tribe by brainwashing them into believing there leader was a supernatural being.   Later still, warring tribe’s leaders built kingdoms and religion became more sophisticated but always used to subdue the leader’s subjects, or to give them reason to fight and expand the leader’s empire.  On reading the various Holy books such as the Bible one is exposed to magic (miracles).

    

Brainwashing

The constant subjection of a specific subject matter that affect the individual’s character and his or her beliefs. After a period of time the individual can be made to believe that black is truly white. Within society brainwashing can be infective, there are many cases where a nation as been brainwashed to believe that they should go to war. One example being Germany, Germans prior to the 2nd World War where infected by propaganda (infectious brainwashing) that they where the master race, Jew’s where nothing but animals, and that Germany would rule Europe and then World.

 

Examples of our ancestor’s propaganda:

 

Bible 2 Kings 18-19. The Assyrian king Sennacherib attempted to terrify the Kingdom of Judah into surrendering by the use of threatening propaganda.

 

De Bello Gallico (On the Gallic War - Julius Caesar) to enhance his reputation in Rome and to speed his rise to power.

Many classics of philosophy, history, religion, and economics, as well as novels, poems, and plays, have been written in part with propagandist (brainwashing) intent. Authors such as Voltaire, Martin Luther and Karl Marx are the best know examples.

Propaganda is very effective way of brainwashing and changing national views, governments through out the world use subtle forms of propaganda to stay in power or to be re-elected or just to cover up mistakes, some times for more devious reasons.

 

We humans are very susceptible to being brainwashed; the advertisers through out the World know that too well. We are more susceptible when we are introduced to a new form of propaganda especially in our earlier years. Just look at the toy industries and how they now teamed up with the cartoon production companies. Brainwash the children to pester their parents to buy the toys portrayed within the cartoons.

 

Is religious preaching a form of brainwashing?

Yes I think it is, if we go to Church, Synagogue, Mosque or Temple we are then, hearing the same things over and over again about the lives of the holy prophets and the rules and laws of our adopted faiths. Within some faiths we see the same old ceremonies (some being copied from pagan faiths) being carried out year in year out.

 

When you read the Torah, Bible or the Koran you are thrown into a world of magic, exaggeration and legends. Each Holy Book has so many contradictions; you can see the books cannot be any form of projection from the God that supposedly gave the Ten Commandments to Moses. Our problem is that most of us allow the priest, to relate what they see within the holy books, and we do not read them ourselves.

The fact that our children are introduced to the Holy Scriptures at an age when they do not really have a mind of their own states very clearly, we are letting them be brainwashed into the religion we have also been indoctrinated when we ourselves were too young to understand.  When we become adults most of us blindly follow the faith of our forefathers.  

 

Survival of the Fittest.

Man has become the leading species, due to an evolutionary process. In terms of earthy lifestyles we are no different to any other animal. We are born, we need to eat and drink, and it’s our nature to procreate and raise new generations of our species. We take sustenance by killing other species to feed on and we supplement our natural diet with edible roots, plants, fruit and nuts.

 

Humans are just more intelligent than all other species, we are able to communicate better, and due to our intelligence have been able to create far better environments for our selves to include new forms of entertainment. But we still have earthly traits those that deeply link our species together ’the survival of the fittest’.

 

Like most species on earth humans have a built in sex drive, it a normal natural trait that helps a species survive. This means that we are all naturally non monogamous and it’s not natural to stay with one partner. But we have laws and rules and created moral standards geared towards persuading couples to remain faithful and stay together. When only a thousand or so years ago a man was allowed to have more than one wife. In some cultures this is still so, with that religious culture thinking its god’s law to do so.

 

Man has many bad trait's selfishness, killing, stealing, lying, rape, buggery that are earthly traits natural to the animal kingdom, part of the process of survival and evolution. Man has rightfully tried to create lawful societies, as there is a need as many humans cannot act civilized due to selfishness and a lack of care. There are few humans that have not been tempted to steal, or to break a moral standard.

 

Mankind has created a modern commercial organizations where there is great competition to get to the top rung, to earn much more money than you can spend, where survival of the fittest still is the reigning factor. In fact man relates the factor to most competitive things that he involves him self with.

 

The World and its Despots.

Since the first tribes where formed mankind has needed administrative leaders mostly these leaders gained position by strength and guile. As with packs of dogs, wolfs the strongest member became the leader of the pack. As time went by and humans grouped in larger communities intelligence and wealth started to play a more important role in the choice of leadership. Leaders could raise private armies and invade other communities to gain land and more subjects to pay taxes to increase their wealth. To achieve these aims the despots have used religion, wealth, promises, desire and propaganda to hoodwink their followers.

 

Dictators like Hitler have indoctrinated their fellow countrymen and have used the education system to brainwash the new generations. This however is not a new approach as throughout the centuries the religious sects have used education as a means of brainwashing through out the world.

 

A member of the USA government at the end of the ‘Free Iraq’ War made a very interesting statement about the education system in Iraq, that there was a need to change all the education books. It would seem children had been subjected to brainwashing by the deposed government.

 

Communism early in the 20th century was thought by some to be the answer to a way to achieve utopia, but within a short time after the Russian revolution the world was shown what happens when the despots take over. Power, greed changed what had been seen as a good ideal and way to achieve utopia into a completely different animal. Blood baths and restricted freedom had nothing to do with the original plan. They even changed the history books and disallowed freedom of thought. The problem is there are still despots in the worlds poorest countries trying to brainwash the less educated citizens that communism is the way forward. Of course these despots will want to live a life of luxury once or if they gain power. The peasants of course will remain subjective peasants. 

 

Democratic systems such as the United States on the outside look very respectable but who truly control such systems. One only has to note the names of senators or presidents to see that political Clans are the true power behind the White House. Members of the Clans are involved in USA Industry Commerce, the problem is that there is much corruption and, or, commercial influence on policy.

 

There is no doubt that the despots have control over the Clans and the system.

Governments throughout the world not only try to brainwash the people to believe in their policy, but also employ research analyst to measure the effect of the brainwashing.



 

What people want out of life?

Most of us want to live an honest life, and abide by the Ten Commandments or a set of equal moral values. Most men want a good job and the funds and wealth to support a good kind-loving wife. Most women want to start a family and be supported by a kind loving husband. We do not want War, Poverty or anything nasty to affect our lives.

 

We want to live in a peaceful country, without crime, without military rule, we are not too worried who administrates our ideal world only that they do it well and without effecting us too much. But to the human wolf's, we have become cannon fodder, easy led by half lies and wide toothy grins. Our politicians find it more important to win cross-political arguments than to serve the people that elected them.

 

When its time to vote we find we are limited to choice, who ever gets into power forgets the promises made prior to their election. Or we have no say in any issue as a Dictator has elected himself as our leader. We are then indoctrinated into believing what a wonderful nation we live in and how wonderful or what good work our leaders doing.

 

The Brainwashing of our Ancestors

The Torah (Old Testament) was the first law book, Moses being the first to create religious laws. The gravest threat for breaking the laws of Moses was the stoning to death penalty. The twelve tribes where being unruly and where the followers of many religious cults and the crime rate was high, buggery, rape, robbery, incest and tribal augments where the norm. Then Moses went up into the mountain and met with God (Yahweh). He came back with the clay tablets that gave invention to a new religion. The ten golden rules called the Ten Commandments that now form the backbone for Semitic, Islamic and Christian religions. Moses under Gods instruction then went into great lengths in formulating 613 or so new commandments (laws) that created a new order a new status quo. Each of the new laws where stated to be the so-called wishes of God.

 

It would be ironic if that this new religion was just Moses propaganda to get 12 unruly tribes to toe the line an to act within the civilized manner to then accept him as their new and only leader, a dictator of whom spoke to this new all powerful God. A God that had assured the Jews that they where the chosen people and that their survival was assure and he Moses being the only one able to communicate with God direct, that his word was Gods.

 

Approximately 4000 years or so later after many more scrolls, relating to history and magic, wars and the views of prophets, a new religion appears, with a kinder less jealous god of whom wants everybody to share heaven with him. Seemingly he does not care if people eat pork or that people pray to idols, saints and forgives all atonable sins. The Semitic religious brainwashing had been adapted to meet with the new ideology of the Christians.  The un-forgiving, jealous strict God that had guided the Jewish Nation for centuries had decided to have a human offspring with magical powers and seeming communist point of view.  Wouldn’t it be ironic to suspect that Jesus was insurgent religious and political leader of a Jewish freedom group trying to oust the Romans from the holy land?  Is there a possibility that Jesus Christ’s real father was a Roman soldier? At that time un-married mothers were punished and sometimes stoned to death, within the Jewish community a virgin birth claim was an accepted way of escaping cruel punishment. Roman soldiers were known to have raped young Jewish girls this factor has been recorded by roman historians.      

 

Let’s look at the formation of the Christian Faith, after the death of Jesus Christ there were follows indoctrinated into the ideology of Christ but these follows still kept the Jewish traditions. Things only changed when Rome decided to turn to Christianity, this is when the old faiths were mixed together with the new to meet the needs of the Roman Senate and the adaptation of the priesthood. Venus was the figurehead for Virgin Mary; God was depicted similarly to the Sun God, Zeus and Christ as Hercules (half man half god) of whom could fly to heaven on a cloud.

 

As with the old pagan faiths certain famous people could be declared as being a deity. Jesus Christ ideology had been adapted to be new religion and he had become its first magician and super deity. Of course Venus would turn up with some interesting message from the Gods and magically still appears today in her new character part as 'MAMA Mary'.

 

We still have those magic fountains and spars that the Romans believed cured all aliments. Nothing seems to have changed much from the mystic magic of the Gods to the miracles of the Catholic Faith. Statues of Venus use to cry in the times of crisis.  All of the miracles found in the Holy books can be re-in-acted such as walking on water, perhaps Jesus if was alive today would be eligible as a member of the famous Magic Circle.  The fact that 30 or so Gospels such as Thomas, Nicodememus and James have not been included within the New Testament by the church.  Due to unbelievable fantastic events within these gospels or because of theological orientation, which did not conform to the teaching received from the Apostles, shows that the church has manipulated a man made religion to suit the church council and the Popes wishes.



 

It is my belief is that the whole idea behind Rome's new religion was to unite, dominate and control the subjects of the failing Roman Empire under one God. If you control the faith of the people you control the people. The Romans had become the masters of propaganda. Since then the Roman Catholic Church has became a very rich business and controls the thoughts and minds of governments, people and a tool for political propaganda. Its strength being in its infective nature it spreads like a virus down the generations via religious bias education and community presence. Many of the religions followers being simple-minded peons in the poverty struck third world. Of whom have no idea why they follow the faith other than it tradition.

 

Most of the Christian Faiths are run like businesses, some of the cults being run by unscrupulous leaders that are only interested in power and money and have gained trust by the follows by using propaganda and deception.

500 or so, years after the Death of Christ, a man called Muhammad started another religion based on the Laws of Moses and the scriptures of the Old Testament. Basically Muhammad was a dictator and like all dictators did not follow the rules he laid down for the new Islamic followers. On reading the Koran one will note that there hundreds of references of collecting Taxes (2.5%), could it be that Muhammad wanted extra money to support his nice life style? He even quoted that god had allowed him to have more than 3 the new religions statuary wives and concubine slaves.

 

The Koran like the Bible is a book of laws and cruel penalties that relate to the political times of the so-called prophets and writers. Stoning, chopping off hands and heads, people executed without trial, nations where people are dying from poverty while the leaders and powerful families live lives of luxury can only exist in a world of propaganda, based on greed and power and deception.  The fact that the modern day Koran is in complete and the so call satanic verses have been eradicated from the original verses, shows how the leaders of the Islamic faith have dabbled to suit themselves.  Islamic clerics have stated the Koran is a book of peace and have produced literature translated to English to illustrate the peaceful presentation of Islam.

 

However one only has to read the ‘Cow’ the longest chapter and normally the first chapter of the Koran, to realize that many statements, such as ‘Kill the infidels’ or ‘Kill the non believers’, that the Koran is also a book of war.  

A quirk of nature created us to have freedom of choice; its only man himself that tries to restrict those choices with man made laws and penalties, some good, some bad and some very evil.

 

I would suggest that man has invented all religions and that mankind has never been truly in touch with God. There is of course a creator, but the creator is too superior to notices the ramblings of the carbon-based creatures in the outback of the Milkyway.  Of whom need to find faith in everyone but himself or herself and are easily led into a self imposed slavery to the religious and political propaganda machine. 

 

Faith is however very important, but I would suggest that one should not trust any dubious man made religion to rebroadcast your prayers to God, cut out the middleman and pray direct and do not be selfish.  There is a fifty-fifty chance your prayers will be answer, ironically that could be down to the rules of chance.  The problem is that the creator of the universe may not be any form of god or have any form of intelligence or what is more than likely we will never have the intelligence to solve this chicken and egg problem, who or what created the universe?  I prefer to believe that there is a God, but I have no wish to brainwash anyone or create a new religion and I leave up to the reader to take his/her own opinion on the Universe creation and the ultimate being thing.

 

The News Media

There is no such thing as a non-political News Media, newspapers, radio and television are politically motivated and bias.  The news media is one of the best platforms for indoctrination and propaganda. 

 

Early in the 20th century a New York radio station broadcasted an adaptation H.G. Wells ‘War of the Worlds’ without an introduction to the play.  This caused absolute panic as many listeners’ thought the Martians had actually landed.  Many citizens jumped into their cars and headed for safety and the radio station telephone switchboard was jammed for 2 days.  In the 60’s on 1st of April, UK’s TV documentary series explained and showed how spaghetti grew on trees, 40% of viewers fell for this silly April fool spoof.  These comical events show how gullible the public can be and how easy it is to spread a belief using TV or Radio.

 

Before and during World War II Hitler NAZI party had control of Germanys News Media. Hitler and his cronies persuaded the German nation that Germans where the master race and Jews were an inferior race.  90% of Germany’s citizens believed in the NAZI parties propaganda.  This is what happens if people are inundated with half-truths and lies under a powerful dictatorship.

 

The reader may think that he/she is too strong-minded to be effected by the media and that the reader makes he/she own judgment’s.  But how does one make a judgment?  You can only do that by analysing the subject matter presented to you, unfortunately most of the truth maybe hidden or tampered with to suite the providers policies of how he/she would wish you to think.   The tampering with the truth may be very mild but effective enough to alter or affect your opinion.

 

Advertising.

We are bombarded with advertising, billboards, newspapers, radio, Television, Internet, Mailbox and cell phones are the main focus points for the advertisers.  We, the public are gullible enough to display adds on our clothing, shoes and hats.  Companies have learned that a saturation of adverting of their products will brainwash the public into buying more and to think the product is the best on the market.

 

 Since the early 80’s we have seen a new beast of prey arrive “Branded Goods”, now day’s parents are led by the nose by their offspring to buy the coolest brand of cloths or sport shoes.  Yes civilization has allowed the manufacturers to brainwash our kids to false us to buy the so call top brands.  In fact now most adults under 30 years old wear nothing but top brands.

The Television the main source of home entertainment has become one of the main tools of manufacturers brainwashing strategy.  This media allows them to brainwash kids and adults into buying their products. The advertising industry is growing daily, as it’s certainly very profitable to induce the gullible.

 

How not to be brainwashed.
It is very hard to find a needle in a haystack, unless you use a powerful metal detector. It’s also hard to find the truth if you have been bombarded with lies, half-truths and maybe once in a while the total truth. So you must analysis everything you read, see and hear. Never completely believe anything until there is complete proof.

 

Do not join any society that wants you to give a percentage of your wages to help run the society or religious sect.

Do not join any society that wants you to repeat over and over again religious verse, this is a known brainwashing technique.

 

Keep an open mind; question anything that makes you feel like one of the sheep. Value your freedom of thought and your freedom of will.

Its very difficult to stop your children being brainwashed, but by explaining to them about the effects of propaganda and that they should keep an open mind is one way to prepare them for a life of freedom of thought.

 

But unfortunately what ever you do, your going to be brainwashed slightly some way or another as it is impossible not to be effected by some one else’s marketing or political plan or lies to effect your personal view. 

 

Are We Pathetic?

Are we humans the ultimate creation?  It would seem that our creator designed all living things on earth, to be protective of food source so to make sure that each species survives.  Most species survives by eating or gaining substance by another, some at the beginning of the food chain are sustained by the Earth it self.

 

Plants, humans, Fish, Mammal’s, Reptiles, vermin, germs and viruses have one aim that is to live and multiply.  Humans have reached the highest rung of the species ladder, but it would seem we wish to be herded like lambs to the slaughter, so easily lead by those that are, greedy for power and money.

 

If we allow the brainwashing to go on our civilization will be eradicated, but not by god, but by ourselves, yes we could certainly be a pathetic race.

 

Summary.

Through out time humans have been hoodwinked controlled by the devious and been used as cannon fodder by the power mongers.  Over the centuries leading to this present civilization our cultural environments have been created and due to the deep embedded survival of the fittest criteria and inborn superstition the status quo is war and strife. The brainwashing by religious bodies in past centuries has caused misconceptions, wars and much disorder and continued unrest through out the ages.  The policies of the main religions that have mostly been set down centuries or years ago, have set back science, civilized society and help generate over population and increased health risks concerning the spreading of AID’s.



 

Mankind must be pretty stupid to believe in any of the main man made religions, when modern science can now prove that stories such as the Garden of Eden is fictitious.  Darwin’s theories have now been proven to be fact but Jewish, Christian and Islamic teaching refutes the known facts.  However present day science cannot fully prove and explain how the universe was created nor disprove there is an ultimate being and creator.  Pantheist believe the universe is a living entity and that we are all part of the ultimate being, it’s my belief that pantheism is more scientifically correct than any of the man made religions.

 

To change the present World status quo would not be an easy task due to the following:

 

The people in power of whom make the laws do not want to pass any laws that take their power, or, ill gained wealth away.

Corrupt politicians do not want to see changes that will eradicate corruption.

The Religious leaders are fanatically clinging to outlandish faiths and controlling the lives and minds of their flocks.



  

International corporations that only think of large profit’s not caring about health hazards or how they achieve their aims;

 

International crime

 

Culture and racialism

 

Terrorism and fanaticism

 

Gun cultures and Arms manufacturers

 

Language barriers

 

World peace can only be a dream due to the effects of environmental brainwashing. The only way that mankind will achieve peace is if the environmental brainwashing was of one nature, one religion, one language, one culture and one political system. 

 

My only regret is that I have already helped environmentally indoctrinate my own children, but just like my own parents, I thought this was the way to teach my precious off springs moral standards.  We humans have a big problem as we have allowed our cultures to be permutated with superstition, idolism, paganism, dogma, racialism, corruption and mystical claptrap.  It would seem we are lacking pure intelligence and a true freedom of thought needed to create a truly civilized moral society, the human race has a long way to go to create a utopia.  There are those that will block the way for personal greed or through being brainwashed by religion or politics. Perhaps we should all learn to be doubting Thomas’s, our own person with our own thoughts on any issue, perhaps we should realize our masters are just as lost as we are. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

 

God forgive them, as they know no better. 



Chapter 2

Man made Religion

Foreword

Religion has been developed over many centuries, people are introduced to the house of prayer as children and it has become part of every day life, embedded deep into most cultures across the world. Due to the nature of the religion and the power of the leaders of the various faiths, laws and governing are affected immensely and very noticeably.

 

Most of our greatest leader’s that have had a religious upbringing ask god for forgiveness or for strength. In certain cases they will obey the rules laid down by the leaders of their faith. The religious leaders often lampoon and criticize politicians for corruption, poverty and for disobeying religious law. But the religions are actually the cause of many of the Worlds problems. By priests and religious leaders, thinking that they can forgive peoples sins and that God will forgive any sin.

 

Its time that priest and the religious leaders learn to look through the eyes of the God they believe in.

 

Looking through Gods eye’s

One only needs to know the character of the Christian, Jewish and Muslim God to be able to look through the eyes of God. Ever caring all knowing and very wise! The Christian faith makes it to easy to be forgiven, the Jewish and Muslim faith also allow for Gods forgiveness but on a more, stricter base. 

 

The Laundry

Gods house of prayer is being treated like a Laundry, dirty linen in clean linen out!

 

Examples:

 

Man walks into house of prayer: he prays to God “Please God forgive me” God is listening, Man states “I have committed adultery, please forgive me for my sin” God thinks, “This man is asking forgiveness for cheating on his wife? This is the sixth time!” God says in annoyance “All these people are my children including this mans wife I deeply regard her feelings on this issue.” “Before he can be forgiven by me, he has to be forgiven by his wife!”  Man walks away from his house of prayer where he thought he lightened his load, ready to sin again.

 

High Ranking government official walks into house of prayer: he prays to God “Please God forgive me” God is listening, “I stole money from the government purse, please forgive me for I am weak, I needed the money to send my children to school” God states to him self “This man keeps on asking forgiveness for many similar things, he has too many people to atone too, its an helpless situation, I just cant forgive this, he has hurt too many of my children” The official walks away from his house of prayer where he thought he lightened his load, ready to sin many times again.

 

A woman walks into house of prayer: she prays to God “Please God, I would like a rich husband to support me and buy jewellery and all the luxury items that I’ve always dreamed of”. God simply doesn’t listen to selfish people! But the Devil Does! The woman walks away from his house of prayer to misguidedly wait for God to grant her wish.

 

Once you learn to look through the eyes of God it becomes very simple to work out your Gods answers to prayers. The problem is have the religions opened a gate to hell in their own temples, church’s, mosque’s, synagogue or prayer mats?

 

The Religious leaders should start teaching the faithful how to ask forgiveness and how to pray unselfishly, this could be the solution to fighting corruption, crime and alleviate poverty.  They could also have a solution to create peace and harmony through out the world.

  

 The Catholic Church is one of the biggest offenders the have created the biggest chain of Laundry’s in the World, plus the Vatican laws all need to be reviewed especially those that hamper population control and the spreading of AID’s.  The Pope needs to do his job as the spokesman of god; he simply needs to be brave and wise enough to look through the eyes of God.  He needs to close the gates of hell within the Catholic Church, holy water, prayer alone is not answer to a very big problem concerning the welfare and souls of his flock.



Chapter 3

The beginning and our existence

 

As we travel forward in time, we are constantly seeking answers to why we exist and how, why the universe was created.  Many years ago I read a series of books called the ”Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy[1]” the hero a certain Arthur Dent was sent accidentally on a mission to seek the meaning of life.  There is one thing that stuck in my mind after reading this trilogy fantasy and that was a remark made by computerised book call the ‘Hitch Hikers Guide’ “When the Universe was created, people thought this was wrong and many where against it”.  The author obviously was being sarcastic towards all those that are against changing the Status Quo due to selfish or bigoted interests.  Arthur Dent seemly found out that the earth was a biological computer task to find out the ultimate answer. 

 

Wouldn’t it be ironic if the ultimate creator, the creator of the universe plan were to find out how he or she was created and why he or she has an existence?  Perhaps through out the universe there are many intellectual creatures that have won the battle for survival job to find the answers to the creator’s questions. Or to build super computers that are quicker and better to get at the truth.

 

I like many other people with open minds, wish to find out which religion, faith or believe would be best for me so that I can receive true enlightenment. Something to make me less scared to die.  Arthur Dent’s incorrect answer of the sum (4x9) and fish shows that the author of Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy is not happy with the religious or scientific answers to the ultimate questions and I suspect his views are similar to mine.  I hope you find this book interesting augment.



The Big Bang theory

 

 

Big Bang

 

I have read many scientific theories about how the universe was created, all being very long winded theories, as if proof to the author’s high academic standings. Prof. Friedmann, William Lane Craig, John Leslie, Hawking, Penrose, Guth, Linde's, Albrecht, Steinhardt's, Tryon's and Gott have all added life to the Big Bang Cosmology question.  ‘Einstein equation' that lies at the heart of the General Theory of Relativity gave power to the original Friedmann’s theory and Prof. Hawkins was dabbling with quantum maths to prove his point. 

 

I am not an expert within this field however I do have my own ideas based on what I believe to be logical facts. 

 

The first being you cannot manufacture something if you do not have the basic materials;

 

1. The universe exists

 

2. Something must have caused the creation

 

Perhaps there is no such thing as total emptiness and emptiness cannot exist.  That the very emptiness of the void created the big bang as the void has to contain something.  Perhaps the very mechanisms Quantum physics are not fully understood yet, instead of two quarks there are four; two matter quarks and two anti-matters that if all four met the quarks simply ease to exist.

 

Would it be possible that at the birth of the universe that matter (light matter) and a balance of anti-matter (dark matter) suddenly spewed from its centre point?  Perhaps both matter and antimatter eventually meet, to cancel each other out, the gradual death of a universe. The meeting point could be what we term as black holes. 

 

However to my mind the Big Bang theory is a better logical explanation than the Garden of Eden folktale in the Torah, Bible and Koran.  Maybe I have stumbled on to answer to what created the universe?

We must remember none of these ideas can be proed by scientific method.
