Arminian Holiness In Politics

Arminian Holiness In Politics

Prelude

For those of us well read in history and politics, this concept will be more or less easily grasped; I call this the Second Law of Human Nature.  It is absolute.

The Second Law of Human Nature

All politics is the Implementation of Religious Belief.

Perhaps, to emphasize this, I would add, “Without Exception.”

The Evil Arminians and Evil Holiness Movements

All politics is the implementation of Religion, although perhaps very few understand this.  Given this Law of Humanity, there are a couple of evil religious ideas that are implemented within politics which proceed from these Two Evil Systems.

Holiness

These delusional people believe in a “Second Work of Grace” in that they are sanctified and holy and no longer sin.  Thus, you get strange outgrowths of this movement such as abstaining from strong drink, smoking, dancing, mixed sex swimming, ridiculous dress codes, etc.  

What does all this have to do with politics?  As I said politics is the implementation of religion.  So, we have laws against minors drinking, laws against public drinking, laws about serving of alcohol, wet counties, dry counties, prohibition of alcohol in certain places, and the list goes on.  

Arminianism

The doctrine of salvation from these heretics maintains that you must repent of your sins to accept the salvation offered to you from God.  It also has a strange idea that takes up central stage: apostasy.  What is apostasy?  It is the falling away of a believer into damnation.  The idea is that anyone can slip up and make mistakes and end up in Hell.  Most people think this strange - losing salvation, and repentance to accept God’s Grace.  Yes, it is strange, and it is harmful.

What does all this have to do with politics?  It means that good people can slip up and turn evil and we have to be on constant vigilance lest we fall in to the traps of the devil and end up in hell.  Can you smell the political fallout from this?  Certain sectors of the population, after an unfortunate event, are written off as hopeless.  How many politicians were written off just because they slipped up and banged their secretary perhaps once and with the same woman?  How many people are written off because they slip up and say something politically incorrect, like the N-word, something deemed sexist, or even slightly offending?  So, they slip up and we cast them into the outer darkness of hell for all eternity like a bunch of religious nuts?  

Yes, we are a nation of religious freaks who think we are being “secular,” but we are so ignorant of history, religion, and so self-unaware, that we are almost purely driven by religion!

Corollary of a secular society: The more a society attempts to purge itself of religion, the more fanatically religious it because since the religious impulse us primal and unconscious with the so-called secular people.

Evil Combo

What is the most evil forms of these two?  The combination: Armenian Holiness.  When religion combines the idea of purification of a person without sin, and with the Armenian doctrine of Easy Apostasy, you get sick movements that claim if you drink at all, you are going to hell.  And, that is just once instance of Sick Demented Christianity.  Other outgrowths of this are cult leaders that claim if you slip up and disobey the cult leader, you are kicked out, and then you are really going to Hell, you damned Apostate!

Now, you get the point.  The political implementation of these religious ideas are all around us.  When honest people change their opinions, they are declared apostates in politics.  When a guy gets pulled over for going 10 MPH over the speed limit, and gets a breathalyzer test, and gets arrested for being over the limit, and his life destroyed, you are experiencing these nasty religious doctrines implemented in politics. 

Remember this: religion is a primal, unconscious impulse like food, sex, and love.  You cannot - ever - purge yourself of religion.  

Thou shalt choose thy religion or thy religion shall choose thee!

Sex, Shadow Boxing, Extremism, Fundamentalism, Enemies

It is hilarious that Militant Atheists are former Christian or Jewish fundamentalists. Just like teetotalers are Drunks on a Sober Binge. Extremists of all kinds are reflections of their enemies. When you engage an enemy, you Mirror Him - this is a Law of Nature. Your enemies will not be exterminated - your enemies will become YOU. We are hard-wired and programmed to mirror image and Shadow Box with our own inner demons projected and expressed externally.

Carl Jung wrote a lot on this subject of the Conscious Mind and the Shadow.  There is a similar phenomenon with Animus and Anima being the shadow of the opposite sex within our psyche. For a man, the shadow of the opposite sex is represented by the Anima; the woman, the Animus.  

How do you know you have met your Amina/Animus in real life?  When you meet someone of the opposite sex that feels at the same time extremely eerie and extremely familiar.  You will strangely mirror their behavior when face to face.  Your animal lizard brain will instantly activate and you will feel strange and good at the same time.  So, bottom line, when you meet a woman/man that looks like your mother/father, with a slight twist on the theme, you will have met your Anima!  Thus, Freud spoke about the Oedipus Complex.  We humans are indeed

perverted creatures.  Please do not vomit!

When fighting an enemy, you must know his weapons. Once you find out what he uses for weapons, if you want to defeat him, you must organized similar weapons with greater quantity to win in battle.  If you want to defeat a boxer, you have to train exactly as your opponent does, and hope you can figure out a strategy to overcome him only after you have completely mirror-imaged your training to his.

So, how did Russia become so cruel and aggressive after World War II?  Given what you have read above, think.  Who did they fight and exterminate during World War II?  Yep, you got it!  How did they defeat their enemy after the enemy almost totally conquered 40% of their land?  They were forced to mirror-image their enemy to defeat him.  They became just a cruel, ruthless and bloodthirsty as their enemy.  And, they crushed him.  What is the problem?  In the process of crushing the enemy, their had to Mirror the enemy, and thus become like him.  So, after the war, the Soviet Empire was a mirror image of the Nazi Empire.  The Western nations like the United States and Britain did not bear much of the fighting against Germany, contrary to popular belief.  After the Battle of Stalingrad, the war was determined, and all was left was to mop up the remains.  Still, in fighting along the edges of the Nazi Empire, the United States developed a national gestapo called the FBI, we developed our own Autobahn called the Eisenhower Interstate System, and our military looked exactly like the stormtroopers we fought (although not directly like the Russians).

Enough of history.  Everyone knows this stuff.

How do we protect ourselves against extreme behavior and actions?  This, yes, is La Piece de Resistance!  How the hell do you do it?

Don't play in the mud with pigs.  Or, you will get dirty!

Sermon on 2016

Sermon on 2016

Sail on!  For we were born explorers!

Reach up thy grasp for that’s what the heavens are for!

My son, you have come a long way!  You are growing fast.  You are almost a man.  You are strong, handsome, and intelligent - all the powers you need to succeed in this life - in fact, more than the powers you need!  The Gods have smiled on you thus far, now consider them as wind in your sails.  

Sail on!  For we were born explorers!

The Gods have given you two things, above all else, keeps our line alive and thriving (1) Strength and (2) Beauty.  The statues in Greece and Rome were not there for decorations and being pretty.  The statues are there to make men and women more beautiful.  We have beautiful statues to thank for beautiful people.  Statues are spiritual objects that point us up to things above us to an Ideal.  They keep us reaching up.  Always keep the statues near you.  The heretics will tell you they are idols.  But, Fear Not!  For the heretics eat the bitter pill of despair, chaos and aimlessness for lack of a map and rudder.  Keep these heretics at a distance, and keep the statues close! 

Sail on!  For we were born explorers!

Spirituality my son shall steer thee to the Ideal of which you were born.  Think not about the lies of the heretics who come to thee with Siren words of fear, desperation, and terror, for these are the Devil’s children - born to speak lies, lick your ears, and lulls thee to a sleep of nothingness.

No, for Spirituality is within the Body, Mind, Heart, and Spirit together, and never separate.  Never forget that the Body is an outward expression of the inner Spirit.  The weak, obese, and decrepit are never Spiritual (Our Lord called them the Poor in Spirit), and the beautiful and strong always have Spirit (even if they do not know it) - never allow ideology to make you think otherwise! 

Your Spirit connects to the trees around you and to the wild animals.  You Spirit connects you to the weather, the air, the Sun, and the rain.  The movements of the clouds shall move your Spirit.  

Breath!  Breath my son, is the physical expression of the Spirit par Excellence!  Observe your breath.  Breathe deeply.  Observe the combustion of oxygen within your system - this is the meter of your Spirit.  Secondly, your heartbeat - you must feel your heartbeat at all times.  Never be in a state where you cannot feel the blood flow through your body - at rest and during movement!  Both!  Especially at rest!  The heretics know nothing of this, but you do, my son!

Sail on!  For we were born explorers!

Kill the fear!  Fear brings on paralysis, and paralysis is Death.  Life is motion.  Life is movement.  We live in the safest world since the dawn of time.  We have nothing to fear.  We are protected in all things, yet we still Fear.  50% of us shall reach the age of 75, yet we still Fear!  We may drive at speeds of 70, and crash, and still survive because we are protected with engineered safety devices, yet we still Fear.  We wear life jackets when on water, yet we still Fear.  We have the cheapest food of all time, yet we still Fear.  

No!  Fear is an illusion.  Prophets of Doom preach fear to profit from you.  Fear sells!  False prophets will damn you to Hell, burning with Fire and Brimstone for all eternity!  Yet, no man knows what awaits beyond the grave, and all are liars who pretend to know!  All are prophets of hate and despair who pretend to know!  All are prophets of Fear, who seek your riches in money, beauty, strength, and Spirit.  Never cast your pearls before the swine!  Prophets of Fear are swine!  They will drain you of energy, and bring you to a living death, all for the sake of using your gift for their advancement, and then move on to the net victim when you are a lifeless shell.  

Kill the Fear!  Never watch the news, nor listen to the Siren call.  Never!  These prophets of Fear  profit on thy energy and passion, and redirect it toward themselves, and away from you.  Every false passion that arouses you on the news is less passion for your exploring!  Never forget this, my son!

Breathe!  Live!  Life is in the breath.  Breath creates life.  Breathe deep every waking day out of bed.  

Sail on!  For we were born explorers!

Keep moving.  Keep breathing.  

The Body

There are two forms of exercise, and only two: Resistance and Cardiovascular.  Perform adequate amounts of these every week, and never fail in this!  Spirituality is also expressed in the physical, and thus, the ritual of physical exercise will be in many ways a prayer or a sacred ritual.   The Body is the Mind and the Mind is the Body - never think they are separate!  Never!

The Mind

Creativity and resourcefulness comes from the mind.  Often this comes with the body in motion to create mindfulness.  Never believe that you can have a decrepit body and a sound mind.  This is impossible!  Every decrepit body has a defective mind also.  No exceptions!  

Never lose your creativity.  Keep it flowing everyday.  Open the fountain of creativity every day.  Make it a river of live flowing in unlimited amounts!  Open a blank page and begin moving the pen, even if nothing comes to mind - move your body, move the pen, and the creativity will flow!  It is like a faucet that needs to be opened to being the flow.  

This is the mind!

The Heart

We connect with others on an animal level.  Nobody chooses - our Lizard Brain chooses.  Bad judgement in matters of the heart come from a defective Lizard Brain not tutored in the ways of the world.  Experience shall instruct the Heart.  Exposure shall increase its knowledge.  

The Heart of drama is the stories we tell.  Others want to hear stories.  Action is another.  We move with those whom we love.  Stories and movement- these are the key!  Move together and tell stories of all together!  This is the Heart!  

No better instruction of the Heart is Travel.  Travel to a foreign place if possible.  Move away from your native land for at least a year - two if possible.  The Odyssey is real.  You cannot become a man without an Odyssey.  Nobody respects any man who has not been on an Odyssey.  Travel and adventure - find your Odyssey.  This instructs the Heart in proper measure of others, and gives wisdom in determination of friend, foe, and acquaintance.  Those who have never left their native land for a time are extremely blind, and lack a depth of spirit unavailable otherwise.

Sail on!  For we were born explorers!

The Spirit

In the ancient languages, Spirit comes from breath.  It is zest.  It is the life force.  It is the push.  It is the antidote to the poisons we all face.  Remember the breath!  Stretch the body for spreading the combustion of oxygen to as many organs as possible.  Light the fire of oxygen throughout the body.  This is Spirit!  Remember all false religions take away breath and life.  True religions bring life, and life more abundantly!

Sail on!  For we were born explorers!

Live!  Live in 2016!
