LXVI. Theocracy of Plutocracy

Maybe some ideological authorities lead communities of faithful believers to claim an ability to know that special people that some call messengers were chosen by a good one in Heaven to receive exclusive divine revelations of spiritual knowledge. Maybe some ideological authorities lead communities of faithful believers to claim an ability to know these exclusive divine revelations of spiritual knowledge are true; were written down in sacred scrolls; and describe the will, words, way and laws of a good one in Heaven at war with an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth. Maybe some ideological authorities lead communities of faithful believers to claim an ability to know that these sacred scrolls explain to communities of faithful believers how a good one in Heaven will judge each and every person ever born as being either good or evil based on whether or not in life a person conformed to or deviated from a standard of conduct described by some ideological authorities as his will. Maybe those people who conform to this standard of conduct proclaimed by these ideological authorities to be the will of a good one in Heaven in life are promised rewards of bliss after life and transport to a divine eternal place called Heaven where in the good one resides. Maybe those people who deviate from this standard of conduct proclaimed by these ideological authorities to be the will of a good one in Heaven are threatened with punishment of torment after death and transport to an abominable infernal place called Hell or infernus where in the evil one will reside after the final judgment of a good one in Heaven comes to pass. Maybe this system of reward and punishment establishes a standard of conduct closely adhered to by communities of faithful believers. Maybe members learn to claim an ability to know that the highest purpose of life is as a test of character administered to each individual by a judgmental perfectionistic good one in Heaven at war with an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth.

A plutocrat is a wealthy ruler. A plutocracy is a government or state where in the wealthy rule. Maybe some of these messengers that establish a standard of conduct for members of communities of faithful believers to live by were plutocrats or were conservative ideological authorities selected by a plutocracy. Maybe plutocrats were responsible for editing and assembling sacred scrolls that aggressive ideological traditions use to describe the will, words, way and laws of a good one in Heaven at war with an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth. Maybe providing wealth necessary to promote aggressive ideological traditions amongst communities of faithful believers gives plutocrats control over the message and standard of conduct proclaimed by conservative ideological authorities to be based on the truth about the will of a good one in Heaven at war with an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth. Maybe at present plutocrats can choose to patronize those conservative ideological authorities that spread a message that best satisfies their plutocratic need and aspiration to achieve and maintain authority, power, order and control over the state. Maybe in the present, their selections help determine how sacred scrolls will be interpreted by conservative ideological authorities and the communities of faithful believers they lead.

It is a lie to claim that myth is truth. An affirmation of an ability to know about the existence of a good one in Heaven at war with an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth is a fraud that follows from the lie that myth is truth. Theistic negativists who repeat the lie that myth is truth in defense of their fraudulent affirmations; make threats against the life and or afterlife of others. Thereby theistic negativists extort tithes and offerings from communities of faithful believers in exchange for a lifelong indoctrination in the lie that myth is truth. Based on a standard of conduct that these same theistic negativists proclaim to be the truth about the will of a good one in Heaven at war with an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth, some conservative ideological authorities lead communities of faithful believers to behave like racist, heterofascist, warmongers.

Based on the truth that myth is myth, I challenge religious leaders who repeat the lie that myth is truth in defense of their fraud, threat making and extortion. Based on the truth that myth is myth, I lead us to have the highest esteem of the existence of one totality and thereby to produce emotional balance in our minds that is conducive to happiness and health in our lives. Based on the truth that myth is myth, I lead us to believe that there is an abundance of time to live made possible by an infinite series of lives to be lived by our divine eternal souls. Based on the truth that myth is myth, I lead us to believe abundance is freely given to us by the union of Father Love, an infinite body of large universes of the correct kind to support living infernal fractal entities and Mother God an infinity, divinity, eternally, one. Based on the truth that myth is myth, I lead communities of faithful believers to behave like friendly, homotolerant, peace makers.

After thinking many years about politics, I have come to define liberal politics and conservative politics as follows: I have come to define liberal politics as those that liberate the many from a power structure that concentrates the wealth of the global culture into the hands of a mercenary, plutocratic, predatory, few. I have come to define conservative politics as those that conserve a power structure that concentrates the wealth of the many of our global culture into the hands of a mercenary, plutocratic, predatory, few. Wealth redistribution by taxation would result in the many being better able to gather the resources necessary to breed. If a strong sense of national or moral duty to produce population growth is promoted by communities of faithful believers led by conservative ideological authorities patronized by a mercenary, plutocratic, predatory, few; and heterofascism dominates the minds of members indoctrinated in a belief in a spiritual conflict between good and evil; then I believe wealth redistribution by taxation would cause an acceleration in population growth. With increased population growth would come further deforestation, desertification, and desolation of the environment. This would exacerbate the low esteem of the existence of one totality prevalent within communities of faithful believers self organized around a belief in a spiritual conflict between good and evil propagated by conservative ideological authorities patronized by a mercenary, plutocratic, predatory, few.

Conservative entertainment, education, and leadership promoted by a mercenary, plutocratic, predatory, few; is the reason why many suffer from low esteem of the existence of one totality. The idea of life and death followed by resurrection and judgment leads the many to build a model of self that consists of a body without a soul. Building a model of self that consists of a body without a soul leads to low self esteem. The myth about the existence of one totality divided by a conflict between a good one in Heaven at war with an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth leads to low world esteem. Maybe a mercenary, plutocratic, predatory, few; promote a belief in a myth of the existence of one totality divided by a spiritual conflict between good and evil because such a belief lends itself well to the conservative politics of a mercenary, plutocratic, predatory, few; and to their ambition to motivate communities of faithful believers to demonize enemies; deify self and friends; and out work, out fight, and out number competition in the global culture.

Abrahamic Religions have come to dominate much of the global culture because of their success in motivating communities of faithful believers to out work, out fight, and out number the rest of the world. Yet for all their success these aggressive ideological traditions fail to instill a high esteem of the existence of one totality in the minds of their followers. Why? Because a model of self divided by a spiritual conflict between good and evil leads to low self esteem and a model of world divided by a spiritual conflict between a good one in Heaven and an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth leads to low world esteem.

Maybe the limited dimensions of the planet Earth, fierce competition for ever more scarce resources and bad leadership from conservative ideological authorities will cause this race to win in the game of survival and sacrifice as played out by states, nations, and communities of faithful believers to be transformed into a race to Armageddon. Maybe a mercenary plutocratic predatory few patronize conservative religious leaders that lead communities of faithful believers to run a race to Armageddon by motivating communities of faithful believers to out work, out fight, and out number their competition. Maybe conservative religious leaders proclaim that the word, will, law and way a good one in Heaven commands communities of faithful believers to be fruitful and multiply, work all the hours of the day from dawn to dusk, and fight evil; to make prohibitions against sex for recreational, occupational, or homosexual purposes; and to raise objections to sexual education that could make these practices safer. Maybe conservative religious leaders proclaim that myth about the existence of commandments, prohibitions, and objections is based on exclusive divine revelations of spiritual knowledge communicating the truth about the will of a good one in Heaven at war with an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth. Maybe aggressive ideological traditions lead conservative religious leaders; to repeat the lie that the myth about the existence of exclusive divine revelations of spiritual knowledge is the truth; to proclaim that these exclusive divine revelations of spiritual knowledge are; recorded by messengers chosen by a good one in Heaven; and are written down in a set of sacred scrolls handed down from generation to generation.

Maybe religious leaders who interpret the sacred scrolls for communities of faithful believers proclaim that the many of our global culture are cut off from the good one in Heaven; because of the influence of an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth; and therefore are unable to experience divine revelations personally that verify the truth of the exclusive divine revelations of spiritual knowledge recorded in sacred scrolls. Maybe conservative religious leaders proclaim that only a few are chosen by their good one in Heaven to receive exclusive divine revelations of spiritual knowledge that are true about the will, words, way and laws of a good one in Heaven at war with an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth. With a pessimistic myth about the existence of an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth that has the power to influence the thoughts and actions of people and a pessimistic myth about the existence of exclusive divine revelations of spiritual knowledge that are true about the will of a good one in Heaven maybe conservative religious leaders in positions of authority within communities of faithful believers seek to usurp the authority of members to make up their own minds about the existence of one totality. Maybe these same religious leaders suggest to members that no longer can thoughts and ideas of self be trusted to be free from influence by an evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth; and that only the thoughts and ideas that follow from an aggressive ideological tradition propagated by conservative ideological authorities patronized by a mercenary plutocratic predatory few can be trusted to be 'good' and 'true'. Maybe communities of faithful believers lead members to rely upon exclusive divine revelations of spiritual knowledge first before relying on personal divine revelations of spiritual knowledge; and thereby communities of faithful believers lead members give up their authority to make up their own minds about the existence of one totality to aggressive ideological traditions propagated by conservative ideological authorities patronized by a mercenary plutocratic predatory few. Maybe this is necessary for a mercenary plutocratic predatory few to be able to have authority, power, order, and control over communities of faithful believers; and justify a socioeconomic stratification of the global culture that produces psychotic extremes of poverty and wealth.

With this authority, power, order, and control maybe a mercenary plutocratic predatory few leads communities of faithful believers to run a race to Armageddon. Maybe Armageddon is sold to communities of faithful believers as a necessary final war before the good one in Heaven will have victory over the evil one cast down to and ruling over Earth. As global population surges to ever higher numbers under the influence of communities of faithful believers motivated to out work, out fight, and out number the rest of the world, natural resources become ever more scarce. An ever more complex and sophisticated technological infrastructure becomes necessary to support the survival of the many of our global culture. This complex and sophisticated technological infrastructure is vulnerable to devastating terrorist attacks resulting in risk of liability for many.

Maybe a mercenary plutocratic predatory few prey upon the many of our global culture by both offering protection from terror to the many in exchange for gold and by creating a demand for protective services by terrorizing the many of our global culture. Thereby maybe a mercenary plutocratic predatory few extort gold from the many in a shakedown of epic proportions that some call the global war on terror. In terror maybe the many are induced by the beast of a military industrial complex to buy the latest technology at this year's arms show. Maybe as the beast of a military industrial complex becomes ever more powerful the living conditions of the many will deteriorate to the point were many are living in abject poverty in a desolate war zone where disease is run rampant, and famine is a fact of every day life.

Communities of faithful believers may come to wish for this final war some call Armageddon because some conservative religious leaders promise: Before Armageddon, the good one will rapture or transport living members of communities of faithful believers to Heaven; and after Armageddon, the good one will reward those who are faithful, loyal, and true by resurrecting dead members of communities of faithful believers; judging members good; giving members bodies with perfect form and function; and allowing members admission to a place of divine eternal bliss some call Heaven. As a result communities of faithful believers tend to be quite willing to go to war. The result being that these aggressive ideological traditions produce conservative ideological authorities who act as both intolerant, fanatical terrorists bent on fighting evil and racist, heterofascist, warmongers attacking those states deemed to be sponsors of terrorism.

These developments are possibly all to the liking of a mercenary plutocratic predatory few who profit from the sale and manufacture of the services and products of a beast of a military industrial complex and rule an underworld of cities and bunkers designed to withstand a catastrophe on the scale of a super volcano eruption or global nuclear war. Who wins in a race to Armageddon? Do the many win or the few? Will the few win in a race to Armageddon by taking refuge in an underworld and by awaiting an opportunity to bloom as a seed of the next over world? Will the many lose in a race to Armageddon like lemmings whose breeding cycle has run it's course?
