Try to keep this one short. But as it flows it might grow longer.
Thinking it through.
I have talked about the Law of One session 5.2 previously, and my attempts to follow it, to contemplate and consider it. In relation to a kind of healing journey. I suppose if I am properly thinking through this area I am on a healing journey. I do desire to heal myself physically and I have for a long time.
Not something I planned to say. But I casually have fantasies of being an amazing healer like that. Or not me specifically, as strange as it sounds... "someone" being a healer like we see in the 4400 (the first series, not the remake) in the character of Shawn Farrell. Whos character was a healer that could heal anything.
It was a pretty amazing concept. In the same way that part of what I like about sci fi. Is, even in fiction, atheists and skeptics being confronted with something supernatural they can no longer deny. 'The Expanse' did this amazingly. So many power hungry bureaucrats with zero redeeming features being confronted by a supernatural fungus. That was doing things that were very powerful and completely unpredictable that the humans couldn't understand.
In the same way I suppose, it would be good if Christians were confronted with something they could not deny. The Christian tendency towards claiming unearned authority. Claiming the authority of God while being unable to prove connection to God (as Jesus did when he healed!) Is continually annoying. This tweet covers it well.
Claiming moral authority while supporting lockdown, leftism, and all manner of unethical things.
The church is like it is though, because of Boomers. That has also been discussed on X recently. For example here and here.
This is how I see it
In World War 2 a massive amount of the powerful, intelligent, alpha males were killed off in war. The Church also lost a lot of moral authority in the war for two reasons. One, the church supported the war. Which at first people perhaps went along with, but once it started they might have been a bit like 'bruh'. Culturally, people came face to face with the fact that prayer does not solve these things. Even if they prayed, they would be subject to food rationing and bombing and such, the deaths of their friends and family. The whole traumatic event.
Also, the baby Boomers were born out of their parents last ditch attempt at some joy in the world. Probably many of them thinking they weren't going to make it and this was before contraception. I imagine the Boomers born of that moment of desperate need for joy and life, screw the consequences, seemed to carry forward that same energy.
And so the war ended and the world was remade anew. Governments were putting themselves back on their feet. The beginnings of a welfare state, and in the UK, public health system were created, to look after returning soldiers. But the world lived under amazing prosperity due to two things. One: massively increased innovation. Companies that had been slowly rolling out innovation for maximum profit were overruled by the security apparatus of their countries so there was new technology. Two: Without any red tape and political agendas in the new shell shocked regime. A free market of sorts could form, and thus, began a period of unbelievable prosperity.
So hence, the environment the Boomers were born into: A) Propaganda was at its peak. Nowadays you have edgy zoomers saying things like "if the Nazi's had won, there would be no Muslim rape gangs". At the time, there was no internet. The mainstream media fully controlled the narrative. And the Wests particular moral authority and agenda were pushed. B) As I mentioned, unbelievable prosperity. Back then you could just walk out of a job and walk into another one. This point has been discussed at length in modern discourse about the Boomers and obviously, money like that, and a functioning culture, also reflected into making relationships easier. C) Christianity, tradition and cultural roots, had been utterly destroyed. Morally defeated.
There are more complex and global aspects of this such as the continued result of the coming of the gold standard and inflation. But that would make this blog post even longer.
It would take a very astute mind, with probably a Mensa level IQ. To see the approaching cultural rot in those apparently positive things. Most of these things are like deals with the devil. You make your deal, you get your wealth and fun upfront. But the price slowly creeps in as all that you brought for it turns to ash. The culture that is falling apart. The licentiousness. The inflation and the broken economy. They all stemmed from this environment and the people that came from the environment.
But lets continue the story. The Boomers then, their giddy teenage eyes looking on the world. Just as the pill came out. Engaged on a massive spree of free love. Their culture they were contributing to the world gave pretty much no virtue. This was not the generation that writes Charles Dickens. They were the culture that enjoyed the richness of their ancestors that Charles Dickens belonged to. But they were not the culture that created that. They were the culture that enjoyed disco.
Things were good. Although tradition and its attendant benefits were still strong. They were on the way out. They had the benefits, like I said, of a stable society. But in their culture they were able to push against tradition for their lives and identity. They did not want any limits on their lusts and hedonism. They did not want to seriously consider the bible and Christianity. Or work on philosophy mostly. They just kind of... were.
But then they grew older. "Pride comes before the fall". Humans follow a fairly predictable pattern. They grow and they learn until about 20. They have their first experiences of rebellion and personal power between about 15-25. But after that, after 25 and into their thirties and later. People need some sort of moral authority of their own. Some sort of explanation of why the world is the way it is that they can bring to the younger generations that are asking questions like "how do I live in this world?"
This is where the Boomers experienced discomfort. A discomfort most of them have not acknowledged by standing steady to the post war neoliberal order and the pretence that nothing has changed. Once a person gets into their 40's or so. They need to have spent a certain amount of time thinking and considering, perhaps reading the greats. To have anything of value to contribute.
In the absence of that. In the absence of the kind of mindset that would write C.S.Lewis' "The Screwtape Letter". These people had the need for moral authority. The need for something to tell the younger individuals. Without the tendency, from their youth, to have thought through and worked through those beliefs. To see through trial and error what works and to pursue virtue.
So from that, the Boomers, like I have said, have the desire for moral authority. But nothing to say. So what do they do? They rely on the easiest and simplest interpretations of everything. The most childish interpretation. And as a collective, and with the backing of their collective wealth. They dig their heels in and dogmatically insist that their way is the right way.
This is where all the problems are. A theologically curious generation would have a better idea of Christian teachings as explained by spiritual teachers like Aaron Abke. There would be more challenging of ideas such as the salvation by faith narrative. But the boomers did not do that. So they do not say that. The way the church today is formed. You would think it had no history. It is recognised that the Apostle Paul and Jesus disciples were in disagreement with each other. But this knowledge, even though it is mainstream. Is just wiped from modern Christianity.
The same thing with the "forgiveness without contrition" argument. It is a lazy, demonic and simplistic argument. But because it is easy. Because it takes the easy way out, rather than challenging evildoers, it scapegoats and places moral responsibility on the victim. Boomers like this. So this is what the church becomes.
It is the same with a lot of things. Their passive, spiritual egalitarianism. Talking about how spiritual and loving they are by allowing migrants into the country to take their childrens jobs and rape them. They never went beyond left wing politics because left wing politics is that of a child. It is simplistic, easy answers to complex problems. Answers that initiate violence on the virtuous and reward the non virtuous.
This is why DEI has been allowed to flourish as well. Even though, originally pushed by feminists. Boomers, who were mentored in the world they lived in. Do not want to mentor the new generation of men they are in competition with. They would prefer to mentor a pretty young woman, to stare at her tits, and to probably sleep with them sometimes as well.
This from a gen z woman:
They feel entitled to young women, they flash cash, cars, and watches and expect young women to throw themselves at them (some do). I cannot tell you how regularly boomer men are aggressive and sexual with me. I do not get upset when I am approached by men UNLESS it is a boomer. They are smug and feel entitled. And they have contempt for every man my age and it comes across in the their demeaning approach. Metoo movement cause real harm to young men but boomers remained untouched. I don’t really have any respect for the women that feed into this either.
The environment.
This is the environment that needs to be destroyed. The Christianity lead by these completely self centered, stupid, and childish, people. I cannot tell you how many places I have been socially ostracised from. I was socially ostracised from several workplaces. The first office I worked in they had weekly get togethers and invited everyone except me. It was an office of thirty year old women. This went on for two years and if I spoke to anyone there, like, if a new staff member was sat next to me. Soon afterwards, she would often refuse to speak to me. Not even to say hello. I remember each one.
It is one of those things that I don't have power over. I do not have power over the vast amount of people that have strategically socially ostracised me. In working with this healing modality I realise something else. If we take enough power over our inner world, we cannot hold onto grudges. The reason is, is that a grudge is connected to that inner world. What goes on outside us reflects inside us. If we feel angry, we are mostly angry at someone out there somewhere in the world. If we were to significantly shift that anger. Our relationship to that thing in the world has to change.
I mentioned before how I had handled jealousy and its opposite. I have had an insight into another emotion that has opened up a whole new level of insight. I notice when I start with an emotion and find its opposite. It's opposite is often 'subconscious' in some manner. And each time the subconscious emotion kind of feels the same. Which is interesting in and of itself. It might mean I can more easily find the subconscious emotion by focusing on that 'feel'.
Anyway, like I started the blog out with. It feels... pretty fantastic to do this. Having a practical way of shifting emotions is just... amazing. To start off with an emotion that is normally pretty unmoveable and to find another emotion. Bring it to the first and have there be a shift, a change. That you don't normally experience.
Jesus said for us to set up our treasure where thieves do not break in and steal.
I do not know where I am going with this and I have been long enough in the new age and spiritual areas to not give in to sensationalism. At least as much as I used to. But, as a fantasy to consider, if me or someone else were to do this to the effect of being able to heal oneself and/ or others. The fantasy that would follow from that is having authority to then challenge the churches authority. To challenge mainstream Christianities falsely claimed authority as a whole.
To completely break the arrogant Boomers strangle hold on religion. To outwardly state the person would not deal with Christianity because it has no legitimacy and to mention specifically their rejection of astrology on no rational grounds.
Wow would that be great.
But it is just a fantasy.
