Global Emperor to Use Religious Conservatives
And that -- might be whom? I had a dream about that back in London in 1971, and
in my dream I saw four things above the podium of a global Emperor or dictator
or something like that. Now , you might think, "Huh, big deal. After all dreams
really are not all that serious, are they?"
Well, maybe there's nothing to it. It's only that this dream was so jarring and
so realistic, and the same time symbolic -- really symbolic, that I remember it
to this day. OK, for what it's worth, here are some of the main things I saw --
by the way, it was one of those color dreams: They were religious objects, hung
over the podium of this dictator as a form of symbolic, obvious religious, huge
symbols on a banner. There was a cross, a six pointed star, a crescent, and a
beast or animal with two horns, it appeared to me to be something like a bulls
head.
Now, what I would tend to read into this, if there was anything to it, and maybe
there is, who knows? -- But what I would read into it at this point is those
symbols represent religious symbologies. There was a cross, a six-pointed star,
a crescent and what appeared to be a bulls head. It's fairly obvious, perhaps,
that these would tend to represent the majority-style conservative-type
fundamentalism in all the world's major religions. There were the three
monotheistic religions, and the fourth might've been a kind of union of all the
world's polytheistic religions. You have to realize that polytheism comprises
quite a few believers out there.
Now I know, here we seem to be getting into the hazy grounds of what is termed
"theology". But I consider theology to be a science, just like the relatively
unknown scientific discipline of the study of miracles, "thomotology" (I hope
that's the way that word is properly written). Now the common concept of
theology is what clergy study before they can be ordained and blah blah blah and
on and on they go, losing it all in somebody's misconception of religious
ritualism. But actually theology is supposed to be a scientific discipline, like
biology, chemistry, physics and so on. It's just that apparently it has never
been treated as such a discipline.
In other words, as a scientific discipline, theology would be, in a way, the
science of humankind's functional relationship with the unexplainable realities
and human interaction with probable superior intelligence. You may be one of
those who jump to the convenient, self-comforting conclusion that the concept of
superior intelligence is simply a superstition, or at best, the type of fiction
relegated to the UFO crazes, but my conclusion is that it's safe to say that the
jury is still out on that one.
But whatever theology is, and however many impostors and charlatans there might
be imposing themselves in the discipline of theology, it must necessarily depart
from humankind's concept of religion. Religion is the opposite of theology.
Religion becomes the historic tool in the hand of politics, especially the type
of politics involving authoritarian rule and dictatorship.
Religion is the historic device politicians use to get the will of the people on
their side. And that certainly has to be true with imperial rule and
dictatorship: There is no empire without an indigenous religion to assign
authority to that Emperor and his or her empire. Well, check it out. History is
rife with these patterns. Therefore, you can extend the postulation to involve
the ultimate empire, a global empire. A global Emperor uses all global
religions.
The founding fathers of the United States seemed to have tried to avoid this
inevitability -- apparently they recognized it as a part of dictatorship. They
may have recognized that any human attempt at theocracy would only end up in
some abuse that would lead to a dictator. And isn't that the inevitability of
the pattern of history involving any theocracy, and also, by the way, just about
every dictatorship?
So, the United States is supposed to have a separation of religion from the body
politic. All I can say is, nice try. It seems to be ingrained in human behavior,
and on a deeper level, there is another sort of devious human behavior that
seems to be able to manipulate it. The one characteristic of religion is the use
of formality and symbolism and ritual to achieve comfort and a false sense of
security. Now, to cover it up, a lot of the church-state-separationists who are
really protagonists of global dictatorship are pretending to be watchdogs, and are
barking away at the slightest infringement of so-called religious artifacts and
objects being proffered or displayed on state property or federal property -- or
prayers in governmental functions, and so on.
Check it out for yourself, but I think you'll find that their real objective is
also to, in the interim, keep ethics, often paralleled in monotheistic
religions, from impairing personal interests, particularly those of the
establishment of global empire -- whose establishers and tenants must needs use
deceit and subterfuge to get into power.
People are so easily fooled. Religious institutions are easily infiltrated;
ritual can be expertly imitated by any impostor, tricking an average parishioner
into imagining such an impostor to be extremely devout. But still in all,
they're not going to willingly forfeit their democracy and their freedom and
just let somebody walk right in and take over and boss them around.
But as I said before, the pattern of history is a period of relative freedom or
liberty followed by a subsequent abuse of mercantilism, which we are seeing now
on a global scale, inevitably followed by a dictatorship; those that abuse
liberty get busted by a dictator. But this time, as you can see, democracy in
the world is very well-organized, and it is going to take subterfuge and deceit
on the part of the unscrupulous who apparently at this point seem to be within
striking distance of pulling this off, as well as the use of religions -- all
religions, whose people will apparently be manipulated by infiltrators in their
midst, to put the will of the people on the side of a global dictator.
