A prelude to Nature of The Beast.
Hate is the only enemy of Human Kind. It causes chaos and destruction on a worldwide scale. On a personal level hate destroys those who allow it into their hearts. The world has always been the way it is but now we have the internet, hate can be spread as propaganda and false narratives. On a positive note, the internet lets us see the true nature of those in power. Netanyahu, Trump, Starmer, Badenhock, many others too.
As a freelance journalist I set about investigating Nazism a good few years ago. I learned a lot more than I bargained for. I found the God of the Old Testament, the God of Abraham, is not the Father in Heaven. It is literally Human Nature or the dark side of Human Nature. The Old Testament, common to all the monotheist religions, confirms the nature of Human Beings and the nature of the God of the Old Testament are one and the same.
The God of this Earthly realm is the life force of this Universe. The guiding force of nature which we call Instinct. The God of Abraham represented the dark side of Human Nature which his followers were able to use in order to strengthen themselves. City states, back in the day, created Gods the priests could turn to for help. It was the priests job to make certain the rains came, crops grew and the city prospered.
The God of Abraham was a jealous God. His words, not mine. He was feared even by his own people. He was the most warlike and the nastiest God of all the Gods. His people, by worshipping him, took on all those same characteristics which gave them power on Earth. Abraham’s people were nomadic. They needed land and resources and the only way they could survive and prosper was to follow their God, focus on warfare and take what they needed wherever they could find it. They were empire builders because they were landless. Their God commanded them to find a land of milk and honey and settle wherever that land was found. God would lead them.
Human beings are born with an innate sense of right and wrong, we know for ourselves, in our Hearts what is right and wrong. We have the knowledge of Good and Evil as the Book of Genesis puts it. The God of the Old Testament may have created this physical realm but the knowledge of right and wrong does not come from that God. It comes from Creation itself, the unknowable Father Who Art in Heaven for want of another name for the Creator.
In ‘Nature Of The Beast’ I will suggest that the ‘Beast’ we must all overcome is the dark side of our own Human Nature, our instinctive behaviour. I suggest that the Jealous God of the Old Testament is the force of Ultra Conservatism. I name that force Zionism, Nazism, Thatcherism, Conservatism. You get the picture. It is the deceptive force which opposes change. The Great Deceiver.
Evolution is the driving force of all life both physical and in Spirit. Our physical bodies evolve towards death but our true selves evolve towards self awareness and true life. Spirit is everlasting but fortunately our physical lifespan on Earth is limited to Three score and Ten years. I say fortunately because although our spirit is everlasting so is the deception of physical life here on Earth. Love is true life and the knowing of Right and Wrong is our Humanity. Once we are deceived into accepting the Truth of others, in favour of our own knowledge of truth which is another name for the knowledge of Right and Wrong, we are prevented from evolving any further in Spirit. Never mind though, the process known as reincarnation and demonstrated in the Old Testament (later when I talk about Jonah) and is known by Catholics as Purgatory, ensures that we can pick up where we left off in a renewed physical body. It’s hard to explain but I will make an attempt later some time.
This is a work in progress and just a draft of something I have spent a lifetime researching.
