This! i keep telling people the purpose or religion abrahamic is this! It changes the nature of consciousness of people! " get people to believe that they cannot possibly understand something, and so they must defer to a higher authority. “Do not seek to better yourself, do not attempt to understand, just do as you are told by those who possess the gnosis.” I have personally seen similar arguments when it comes to the single most common argument that libertarians deal with: “muh roads.” Seriously, “who will build the roads” is such a ridiculously common statist argument that it has become a meme, and statists, when confronted on this subject, insist that “modern roads are too complicated to be built by anyone but the government.” In their minds, nothing can emerge organically, everything must be centrally planned. People are primed to think this way in church, incidentally." I suppose a fish cannot see water tho. They can often see the problem with governments, but religion gets a pass. Not by me tho. the first time i read the books i knew what they were. i hoped i was wrong, of course.

I was interested until you did the uni party thing.

Thought this might have some interesting stuff, but if you don't understand the basics all the rest of it is going to be worthless.

One yuge problem they're facing is that we're now in the Aquarian age, where people learn to swim independently (as opposed to the Piscean, where they school together). You can see this pushback even on the "Right" among reactionary monarchists, etc.

Another yuge problem is that we're out of the Kali Yuga (I think Pluto's cleared the M9? point by now?), and into the Dwapara Yuga, and they're having to work against that, as well.

There's only so much you can do to oppose/subvert nature, generally better not to mess with her (she always wins in the end), the creator God wills it.

Strap in and enjoy the ride.
