I’ve come full circle on my awakening journey. When I first woke up back in 2009, I watched Zeitgeist, like I’m sure many of you did. That movie raised a lot of questions in my mind regarding religion. I was determined to figure out for myself what WAS in fact true. If there really was a God, gods, or no god at all. And how did we come to be here? And what was our purpose?
My father was a really intelligent man, he had a PHD in Philosophy, and he was an Atheist. He told me as a little girl that if he found out I stepped foot in a church he would disown me. It didn’t bother me so much then because I really didn’t have an opinion, I was Agnostic. But after becoming an adult and waking up to 9/11 and finding out that our government really doesn’t care about us, and that there IS a group of people trying to take over the world, I wanted to get to the truth about God and this world. It DID bother me then, a whole lot.
And so, I started out by reading books that my father would approve of, by popular atheists, such as Richard Dawkins and his book, The God Delusion,
and Christopher Hitchens, and his book, god is Not Great. And for a bit I thought they were right. Dawkins mentioned prayer and how it didn’t really help anyone.
But a little while later I did the Emoto Rice Experiment where you give good energy to one jar of rice in water and bad energy to another jar. Well after just a few days the good energy jar smelled like vanilla and was a nice gold color while the bad energy jar was actually black liquid and smelled like death. So I KNEW from this experiment that your energy does matter and that the TYPE of energy you send out to the world is most important. And prayer, being good energy, WILL help.
Even in The Oera Linda Book (OLB), the Fryans would first do everything possible to get out of a situation, but once there was nothing else they could do, they would turn to WRALDA and PRAY for his help!
From the OLB we read, “When in dire distress, and when sound advice and good deeds avail to nothing, then call on the spirit of Wralda; but do not appeal to him before you have tried all other means. I tell you with reason and time will prove its truth and that those who give way to discouragement sink under their burdens.”
So you can see why I wasn’t convinced on Atheism. I had actual physical proof against Dawkins’ claims! My jars!
Unfortunately I couldn’t share my discovery with my father for he had subsequently passed away. It saddened me that he died as an Atheist. It must have been hard thinking there is no life after this one and that we just return to the ground and decay.
From there I listened to Dr. Jack Pruett on You Tube and really liked his work. He mentioned Thomas Paine’s book The Age of Reason on one of his live chats and so I decided to give it a read.
In The Age of Reason, Paine talks of God and His creation- nature, and that the Bible is a tool of control and power and not the word of God. This really resonated with me. I already looked to nature for the answer’s to so many things, such as how we should eat, where we are meant to live, how animals interact with one another and how we should therefore act. But I got caught up in other rabbit holes in my truth journey and forgot about what I learned from Paine’s writings.
That is until present day, AFTER I researched Flat Earth, who really controls our government and is trying to take over the world, my Christian Identity journey, then the OLB, then Table Talk, finding out what Hitler really did think on religion, and so learning about Kant, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. And then, picking up The Age of Reason once again. And THIS time I got it. I truly understand where Paine was coming from and I agree!
I think it was necessary for me to “proof read” Paine when my journey started out so I can see where I am today, the lessons I’ve learned, and how I am WELL GROUNDED in the TRUTH now. I will be forever grateful to Paine, the OLB and Adolf Hitler.
I loved how Paine didn’t beat around the bush in his thoughts on religion, and especially Christianity.
Immanuel Kant didn’t shirk in his thoughts either. The intelligent man will use his powers of reasoning to figure things out and NOT to defer ones reasoning to another.
“Enlightenment is man’s emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one’s own understanding without another’s guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one’s own mind without another’s guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) “Have the courage to use your own understanding,” is therefore the motto of the enlightenment.” ~ Foundations of the Metaphysics of Morals by Immanuel Kant (Grundlegung zur Metaphysik der Sitten, 1785).
Kant was a Deist, although some would like to split hairs and call him a Theist, but the two words are synonymous for most critics. (And not in the Amber Heard way of using “synonymous”) He was alive during the same time frame as Thomas Paine and both were part of a movement where they wanted people to think for themselves and not go through corrupted church intermediaries to understand God and His Creation.
I found this quote as proof of Paine being influenced by Kant is in his Part 2 of The Age of Reason where Paine “calls attention to the new departure in Theism indicated in a passage corresponding to a famous aphorism of Kant… it is plain that while the earlier work is an amplification of Newtonian Deism, based on the phenomena of planetary motion, the work of 1795 bases belief in God on “the universal display of himself in the works of the creation and by that repugnance we feel in ourselves to bad actions, and disposition to do good ones.”
Adolf Hitler, whose ideals were profoundly affected by Kant, as well as Kant’s predecessors, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, was also a Deist. He found religion to be a useful tool of devious men to manipulate people into giving them their money and deferring their judgement to them, giving them, the priests, and the Hidden Hand behind them, ultimate power.
In his writings in Table Talk, we learn that Hitler wanted religion removed from schools, and instead have astronomy, the study of the stars and the universe in its place. He wanted to put observatories in all the big German towns.
From Hitler’s Table Talk, “If I have an observatory built at Linz, I’ll have the following words carved on its front: “The heavens proclaim the glory of the eternal.”
Paine was into the stars as well, although he and Hitler followed Newton’s views on space. (I think they both weren’t aware of the deception of ball earth.) And so were the Fryans in the OLB. Remember that the center of every burgh had a tower. This tower was an observatory, and the highest building in the land. They believed in the heavens, and that when we die we travel to our watch star.
In the OLB we read, “My burgh lies near the north end of the Liudgarda. The tower has six sides . It is three times thirty feet high; flat on top, with a small house upon it from where they study the stars.”
Another well known person that was around the same time as Hitler and had similar views was Arthur Desmond, author of Might is Right, penned under his pseudonym of Ragnar Redbeard.
In his book is a very fitting poem showing Desmond too, was a Deist.
“Jewish books are for the Jews, and Jew messiahs, too. But if you’re not of Jewish blood, how can they be for you? To make an Idol of a book, Is poison for the brain, a dying God upon a cross is reason gone insane. Beware of all Holy books and all the creeds and schools, and every law that man has made and all the golden rules. “Laws” and “Rules” imposed on you from days of old renown, are not intended for your “good” but for your crushing down. Then dare to rend the chains that bind and to yourself be true. Dare to liberate your mind, from all things, old and new. Always think your own thought, all other thoughts reject; learn to use your own brain and boldly stand erect.” ~ Arthur Desmond aka Ragnar Redbeard
From the Wiki we learn that, “Portions of Might Is Right comprise the vast majority of The Book of Satan in Anton LaVey’s 1969 The Satanic Bible, the founding document of the Church of Satan. Though it is no longer included in current printings of The Satanic Bible, early printings included an extensive dedication to various people whom LaVey recognized as influences, including Ragnar Redbeard.”
Remember that Anton LaVey was Jewish, and they take everything good, everything FRYAN, and use it for bad. This is the case with Ragnar’s prose.
But LaVey wasn’t the only one to give Deism a “bad name”. Before him, to my surprise, the Englishman William Blake said many negative things about Deism. (And I used to love William Blake!)
In his essay Of Jerusalem to the Deists, Blake writes, “You O Deists profess yourselves the Enemies of Christianity: and you are so: you are also the Enemies of the Human Race and of Universal Nature. Man is born a Specter or Satan and is altogether an Evil, and requires a New Selfhood continually and must continually be changed into his direct Contrary. But your Greek Philosophy (which is a remnant of Druidism) teaches that Man is Righteous in his Vegetated Specter: an Opinion of fatal and accursed consequence to Man, as the Ancients saw plainly by Revelation to the entire abrogation of Experimental Theory, and many believed what they saw, and Prophesied of Jesus.
Man must and will have some Religion; if he has not the Religion of Jesus, he will have the Religion of Satan, and will erect the Synagogue of Satan, calling the Prince of this World, God; and destroying all who do not worship Satan under the Name of God. Will any one say: Where are those who worship Satan under the Name of God! Where are they? Listen! Every Religion that Preaches Vengeance for Sins the Religion of the Enemy and Avenger: and not the Forgiver of Sin, and their God is Satan, Named by the Divine Name Your Religion O Deists: Deism, is the Worship of the God of this World by the means of what you call Natural Religion and Natural Philosophy and of Natural Morality or Self-Righteousness, the Selfish Virtues of the Natural Heart. This was the Religion of the Pharisees who murdered Jesus. Deism is the same and ends the same.”
So Blake gives us the “either or” scenario. You have to pick a side. Either you are with Jesus or you are with Satan. (I wonder if LaVey got his idea to be a Deistic Satanist from Blake’s writings?) Funny because the Deists don’t believe in Jesus OR Satan! He tries to use fear to scare people away from the truth. Sounds like the same thing the Magy priests have done for hundreds of years. And it WILL work on people that are too lazy to look into it for themselves. They would rather defer their power over to “someone that knows better” than to think for themselves and find the truth.
And don’t forget that Thomas Paine was a Founding Father. He was well respected among his piers. If they believed he was a Satanist, immoral in any respect, they wouldn’t be associated with him. So Blake comes out of left field with his “truths”.
Paine was well read in the Bible. His family were Puritans and took their faith very seriously, as did most during that time. When he wrote Age of Reason, he did so while imprisoned by Robespierre in Paris and had to write his arguments regarding the Bible from memory and from a jail cell.
Now let’s see what Deism really is. I will be taking excerpts out of Thomas Paine’s Age of Reason Part 1, and not Part 2, since it basically carries the same ideas.
The first is a quote from the editor, whose name is not given. We read,
“In the opening year, 1793, when revolutionary France had beheaded its king, the wrath turned next upon the King of kings, by whose grace every tyrant claimed to reign. But eventualities had brought among them a great English and American heart- Thomas Paine. He had pleaded for Louis Caper- “Kill the king but spare the man.” Now he pleaded, – “Disbelieve in the King of kings, but do not confuse with that idol the Father of Mankind!”
He “saw the exceeding probability that a revolution in the system of government would be followed by a revolution in the system of religion”, and that “man would return to the pure, unmixed, and unadulterated belief of one God and no more.”
We can see here that “the pure, unmixed, and unadulterated belief in one God and no more” was the return to the belief of our original ancestors, the Fryans. They were monotheists and looked to God’s creations for all their answers about life and the world in which they lived.
From the OLB we read, “Wralda is the only almighty being; because from him all other power is borrowed and returns to him. From him come all crafts and all crafts return to him. Therefore he alone is the creator, and nothing was created outside him.”
“There was every probability, during the months in which he wrote (November and December 1793) that he would be executed. His religious testament was prepared with the blade of the guillotine suspended over him.” He was then imprisoned in the Luxembourg on December 28, 1793 and released on November 3, 1794. His liberation was secured by his old friend, James Monroe (afterwards President), who had succeeded Paine’s relentless enemy, Governor Morris, as American Minister in Paris.”
It seems Paine was a threat more for his religious ideals than anything else, because seeing religion for what it really was would cause the powers that be to become the powers that be not.
Hitler said it rather succinctly in Table Talk as well,where he says, “I can very well imagine how this collective madness came to birth. A Jew was discovered to whom it occurred that if one presented abstruse ideas to non- Jews, the more abstruse these ideas were, the more the non- Jews would rack their brains to try to understand them. The fact of having their attention fixed on what does not exist must make them blind to what exists. An excellent calculation of the Jew’s part. So the Jew smacks his thighs to see how his diabolic stratagem has succeeded. He bears in mind that if his victims suddenly became aware of these things, all Jews would be exterminated. But, this time, the Jews will disappear from Europe.”
Part 1
Chapter 1- The Author’s Profession of Faith
Paine writes, “It has been my intention, for several years past, to publish my thoughts upon religion; I am well aware of the difficulties that attend the subject, and from that consideration, had reserved it to a more advanced period of life. I intended it to be the last offering I should make to my fellow-citizens of all nations, and that at a time when the purity of the motive that induced me to it could not admit of a question, even by those who might disapprove the work. The circumstance that has now taken place in France, of the total abolition of the whole national order of priesthood, and of everything appertaining to compulsive systems of religion, and compulsive articles of faith, has not only precipitated my intention, but rendered a work of this kind exceedingly necessary, lest, in the general wreck of superstition, of false systems of government, and false theology, we lose sight of morality, of humanity, and of the theology that is true.
As several of my colleagues, and others of my fellow-citizens of France, have given me the example of making their voluntary and individual profession of faith, I also will make mine; and I do this with all that sincerity and frankness with which the mind of man communicates with itself. I believe in one God, and no more; and I hope for happiness beyond this life. I believe the equality of man, and I believe that religious duties consist in doing justice, loving mercy, and endeavoring to make our fellow creatures happy. But, lest it should be supposed that I believe many other things in addition to these, I shall, in the progress of this work, declare the things I do not believe, and my reasons for not believing them.
I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church. All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian, or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit. I do not mean by this declaration to condemn those who believe otherwise; they have the same right to their belief as I have to mine. But it is necessary to the happiness of man, that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe. It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind, as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime. He takes up the trade of a priest for the sake of gain, and, in order to qualify himself for that trade, he begins with a perjury. Can we conceive anything more destructive to morality than this?
Notice that Paine is mentioning ALL THREE Abrahamic Religions. All three were created by the same Magy to deceive and ultimately control the world.
Soon after I had published the pamphlet Common Sense, in America, I saw the exceeding probability that a revolution in the system of government would be followed by a revolution in the system of religion. The adulterous connection of church and state, wherever it had taken place, whether Jewish, Christian, or Turkish, had so effectually prohibited, by pains and penalties, every discussion upon established creeds, and upon first principles of religion, that until the system of government should be changed, those subjects could not be brought fairly and openly before the world; but that whenever this should be done, a revolution in the system of religion would follow. Human inventions and priest-craft would be detected; and man would return to the pure, unmixed, and unadulterated belief of one God, and no more.”
Paine was a big threat to the Jew. It is through the Abrahamic religions, and especially their Bible, that they gained power and control over the people. If people realized they didn’t need intermediaries, middlemen, and that God can be accessed directly, the religions would fall like a house of cards.
It reminds me of when Flat Earth was rediscovered by many in 2015. Once we realized that the big bad sun couldn’t send a mass coronal ejection at any time to wipe us out because it was really only 33 miles wide, those same cards fell.
Chapter 2- Of Missions and Revelations
Paine continues, “It is curious to observe how the theory of what is called the Christian Church, sprung out of the tail of the heathen mythology. A direct incorporation took place in the first instance, by making the reputed founder to be celestially begotten. The trinity of gods that then followed was no other than a reduction of the former plurality, which was about twenty or thirty thousand. The statue of Mary succeeded the statue of Diana of Ephesus. The deification of heroes changed into the canonization of saints. The Mythologists had gods for everything; the Christian Mythologists had saints for everything. The church became as crowded with the one, as the pantheon had been with the other; and Rome was the place of both. The Christian theory is little else than the idolatry of the ancient mythologists, accommodated to the purposes of power and revenue; and it yet remains to reason and philosophy to abolish the amphibious fraud.”
Zeitgeist got this part right. Christianity is just the Magy Pagan religion with a new veneer. It was never the true “religion” of the monotheistic Fryans. Only by the sword did Christianity reach Europe. Hitler was neither Christian nor Pagan, and had a firm belief in God in the pragmatic way of the Germans, by using reasoning and their moral compass within.
From Hitler’s Table Talk we read, “To make death easier for people, the Church holds out to them the bait of a better world. We, for our part, confine ourselves to asking man to fashion his life worthily. For this, it is sufficient for him to conform to the laws of nature. Let’s seek inspiration in these principles, and in the long run we’ll triumph over religion.”
Chapter 7- Examination of the Old Testament
“Revelation is a communication of something, which the person, to whom that thing is revealed, did not know before. For if I have done a thing, or seen it done, it needs no revelation to tell me I have done it, or seen it, nor to enable me to tell it, or to write it. Revelation, therefore, cannot be applied to anything done upon earth of which man is himself the actor or the witness; and consequently all the historical and anecdotal part of the Bible, which is almost the whole of it, is not within the meaning and compass of the word revelation, and, therefore, is not the word of God.
Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible6 is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon, than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness, that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind; and, for my own part, I sincerely detest it, as I detest everything that is cruel.
There is not, throughout the whole book called the Bible, any word that describes to us what we call a poet, nor any word that describes what we call poetry. The case is, that the word prophet, to which a later times have affixed a new idea, was the Bible word for poet, and the word prophesying meant the art of making poetry. It also meant the art of playing poetry to a tune upon any instrument of music. We read of prophesying with pipes, tablets, and horns—of prophesying with harps, with psalteries, with cymbals, and with every other instrument of music then in fashion. Were we now to speak of prophesying with a fiddle, or with a pipe and tabor, the expression would have no meaning, or would appear ridiculous, and to some people contemptuous, because we have changed the meaning of the word.
We are told of the greater and the lesser prophets. They might as well tell us of the greater and the lesser God; for there cannot be degrees in prophesying consistently with its modern sense. But there are degrees in poetry, and therefore the phrase is reconcilable to the case, when we understand by it the greater and the lesser poets.
The continually progressive change to which the meaning of words is subject, the want of an universal language which renders translation necessary, the errors to which translations are again subject, the mistakes of copyists and printers, together with the possibility of willful alteration, are of themselves evidences that human language, whether in speech or in print, cannot be the vehicle of the Word of God.—-The Word of God exists in something else. Did the book called the Bible excel in purity of ideas and expression all the books now extant in the world, I would not take it for my rule of faith, as being the Word of God; because the possibility would nevertheless exist of my being imposed upon. But when I see throughout the greatest part of this book scarcely anything but a history of the grossest vices, and a collection of the most paltry and contemptible tales, I cannot dishonor my Creator by calling it by his name.”
Chapter 8- Of the New Testament
“Thus much for the Bible; I now go on to the book called the New Testament. The new Testament! that is, the new Will, as if there could be two wills of the Creator. Had it been the object or the intention of Jesus Christ to establish a new religion, he would undoubtedly have written the system himself, or procured it to be written in his life time. But there is no publication extant authenticated with his name. All the books called the New Testament were written after his death. He was a Jew by birth and by profession; and he was the son of God in like manner that every other person is; for the Creator is the Father of All.
In fine, everything in this strange system is the reverse of what it pretends to be. It is the reverse of truth, and I become so tired of examining into its inconsistencies and absurdities, that I hasten to the conclusion of it, in order to proceed to something better. How much, or what parts of the books called the New Testament, were written by the persons whose names they bear, is what we can know nothing of, neither are we certain in what language they were originally written. The matters they now contain may be classed under two heads: anecdote, and epistolary correspondence.
“The reverse of what it pretends to be” exactly! That is exactly what the MAGY have been doing since the times of the OLB. They inverse everything. They take what is good and use it for bad. The Bible has their “method of operation” stamped all over it.
If I owe a person money, and cannot pay him, and he threatens to put me in prison, another person can take the debt upon himself, and pay it for me. But if I have committed a crime, every circumstance of the case is changed. Moral justice cannot take the innocent for the guilty even if the innocent would offer itself. To suppose justice to do this, is to destroy the principle of its existence, which is the thing itself. It is then no longer justice. It is indiscriminate revenge.
Here Paine is talking about how Jesus cannot take the place for the guilty (humanity) because it would destroy the principle of moral justice. That this act is completely absurd and against moral reason and therefore not of God.
It is by his being taught to contemplate himself as an out-law, as an out-cast, as a beggar, as a mumper, as one thrown as it were on a dunghill, at an immense distance from his Creator, and who must make his approaches by creeping, and cringing to intermediate beings, that he conceives either a contemptuous disregard for everything under the name of religion, or becomes indifferent, or turns what he calls devout. In the latter case, he consumes his life in grief, or the affectation of it. His prayers are reproaches. His humility is ingratitude. He calls himself a worm, and the fertile earth a dunghill; and all the blessings of life by the thankless name of vanities. He despises the choicest gift of God to man, the Gift of Reason; and having endeavored to force upon himself the belief of a system against which reason revolts, he ungratefully calls it human reason, as if man could give reason to himself. Yet, with all this strange appearance of humility, and this contempt for human reason, he ventures into the boldest presumptions.
He finds fault with everything. His selfishness is never satisfied; his ingratitude is never at an end. He takes on himself to direct the Almighty what to do, even in the government of the universe. He prays dictatorially. When it is sunshine, he prays for rain, and when it is rain, he prays for sunshine. He follows the same idea in everything that he prays for; for what is the amount of all his prayers, but an attempt to make the Almighty change his mind, and act otherwise than he does? It is as if he were to say—- thou knowest not so well as I.”
Chapter 9- In What the True Revelation Consists
“But some perhaps will say—-Are we to have no word of God-—no revelation? I answer yes. There is a Word of God; there is a revelation. The Word of God is the Creation We Behold: And it is in this word, which no human invention can counterfeit or alter, that God speaketh universally to man.
It is only in the Creation that all our ideas and conceptions of a word of God can unite. The Creation speaketh an universal language, independently of human speech or human language, multiplied and various as they be. It is an ever existing original, which every man can read. It cannot be forged; it cannot be counterfeited; it cannot be lost; it cannot be altered; it cannot be suppressed. It does not depend upon the will of man whether it shall be published or not; it publishes itself from one end of the earth to the other. It preaches to all nations and to all worlds; and this word of God reveals to man all that is necessary for man to know of God. Do we want to contemplate his power? We see it in the immensity of the creation. Do we want to contemplate his wisdom? We see it in the unchangeable order by which the incomprehensible Whole is governed. Do we want to contemplate his munificence? We see it in the abundance with which he fills the earth. Do we want to contemplate his mercy? We see it in his not withholding that abundance even from the unthankful. In fine, do we want to know what God is? Search not the book called the scripture, which any human hand might make, but the scripture called the Creation.”
From Hitler’s Table Talk we see he shares Paine’s views. We read, “Man has discovered in nature the wonderful notion of that all-mighty being whose law he worships. Fundamentally in everyone there is this feeling for the almighty, which we call God (that is to say, the dominion of natural laws throughout the whole universe). The priests, who have always succeeded in exploiting this feeling, threaten punishments for the man who refuses to accept the creed they impose.”
Chapter 10- Concerning God, and the Lights Cast on His Existence and Attributes by the Bible
“The only idea man can affix to the name of God, is that of a first cause, the cause of all things. And, incomprehensibly difficult as it is for a man to conceive what a first cause is, he arrives at the belief of it, from the tenfold greater difficulty of disbelieving it. It is difficult beyond description to conceive that space can have no end; but it is more difficult to conceive an end. It is difficult beyond the power of man to conceive an eternal duration of what we call time; but it is more impossible to conceive a time when there shall be no time.
In like manner of reasoning, everything we behold carries in itself the internal evidence that it did not make itself. Every man is an evidence to himself, that he did not make himself; neither could his father make himself, nor his grandfather, nor any of his race; neither could any tree, plant, or animal make itself; and it is the conviction arising from this evidence, that carries us on, as it were, by necessity, to the belief of a first cause eternally existing, of a nature totally different to any material existence we know of, and by the power of which all things exist; and this first cause, man calls God. It is only by the exercise of reason, that man can discover God. Take away that reason, and he would be incapable of understanding anything; and in this case it would be just as consistent to read even the book called the Bible to a horse as to a man. How then is it that those people pretend to reject reason?”
Chapter 11- Of the Theology of the Christians and the True Theology
“As to the Christian system of faith, it appears to me as a species of atheism; a sort of religious denial of God. It professes to believe in a man rather than in God. It is a compound made up chiefly of man-ism with but little deism, and is as near to atheism as twilight is to darkness. It introduces between man and his Maker an opaque body, which it calls a redeemer, as the moon introduces her opaque self between the earth and the sun, and it produces by this means a religious or an irreligious eclipse of light. It has put the whole orbit of reason into shade. The effect of this obscurity has been that of turning everything upside down, and representing it in reverse; and among the revolutions it has thus magically produced, it has made a revolution in Theology.
Hitler put it in a similar way but from a Twentieth Century perspective. From Hitler’s Table Talk we read, “The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity’s illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew. The deliberate lie in the matter of religion was introduced into the world by Christianity. Bolshevism practices a lie of the same nature, when it claims to bring liberty to men, whereas in reality it seeks only to enslave them. In the ancient world, the relations between men and gods were founded on an instinctive respect. It was a world enlightened by the idea of tolerance. Christianity was the first creed in the world to exterminate its adversaries in the name of love. Its key-note is intolerance.”
That which is now called natural philosophy, embracing the whole circle of science, of which astronomy occupies the chief place, is the study of the works of God, and of the power and wisdom of God in his works, and is the true theology. As to the theology that is now studied in its place, it is the study of human opinions and of human fancies concerning God. It is not the study of God himself in the works that he has made, but in the works or writings that man has made; and it is not among the least of the mischiefs that the Christian system has done to the world, that it has abandoned the original and beautiful system of theology, like a beautiful innocent, to distress and reproach, to make room for the hag of superstition.
It is a fraud of the Christian system to call the sciences human inventions; it is only the application of them that is human. Every science has for its basis a system of principles as fixed and unalterable as those by which the universe is regulated and governed. Man cannot make principles, he can only discover them.
It is from the study of the true theology that all our knowledge of science is derived; and it is from that knowledge that all the arts have originated.
It is only by contemplating what he calls the starry heavens, as the book and school of science, that he discovers any use in their being visible to him, or any advantage resulting from his immensity of vision. But when be contemplates the subject in this light, he sees an additional motive for saying, that nothing was made in vain; for in vain would be this power of vision if it taught man nothing.”
Chapter 12- The Effects of Christianism on Education
” -As a matter of distinct consideration, the outrage offered to the moral justice of God, by supposing him to make the innocent suffer for the guilty, and also the loose morality and low contrivance of supposing him to change himself into the shape of a man, in order to make an excuse to himself for not executing his supposed sentence upon Adam; putting, I say, those things aside as matter of distinct consideration, it is certain that what is called the Christian system of faith, including in it the whimsical account of the creation—the strange story of Eve, the snake, and the apple—the amphibious idea of a man-god—the corporeal idea of the death of a god-—the mythological idea of a family of gods, and the Christian system of arithmetic, that three are one, and one is three, are all irreconcilable, not only to the divine gift of reason, that God has given to man, but to the knowledge that man gains of the power and wisdom of God by the aid of the sciences, and by studying the structure of the universe that God has made.
The setters up, therefore, and the advocates of the Christian system of faith, could not but foresee that the continually progressive knowledge that man would gain by the aid of science, of the power and wisdom of God, manifested in the structure of the universe, and in all the works of creation, would militate against, and call into question, the truth of their system of faith; and therefore it became necessary to their purpose to cut learning down to a size less dangerous to their project, and this they effected by restricting the idea of learning to the study of dead languages. They not only rejected the study of science out of the Christian schools, but they persecuted it; and it is only within about the last two centuries that the study has been revived.
Christianity- The Age of Ignorance
Later times have laid all the blame upon the Goths and Vandals, but, however unwilling the partisans’ of the Christian system may be to believe or to acknowledge it, it is nevertheless true, that the age of ignorance commenced with the Christian system. There was more knowledge in the world before that period, than for many centuries afterwards; and as to religious knowledge, the Christian system, as already said, was only another species of mythology; and the mythology to which it succeeded, was a corruption of an ancient system of theism. (Note by Paine: It is impossible for us now to know at what time the heathen mythology began; but it is certain, from the internal evidence that it carries, that it did not begin in the same state or condition in which it ended. All the gods of that mythology, except Saturn, were of modern invention. The supposed reign of Saturn was prior to that which is called the heathen mythology, and was so far a species of theism that it admitted the belief of only one God. Saturn is supposed to have abdicated the government in favor of his three sons and one daughter, Jupiter, Pluto, Neptune, and Juno; after this, thousands of other gods and demigods were imaginarily created, and the calendar of gods increased as fast as the calendar of saints and the calendar of courts have increased since.)
So you can see here that Paine KNEW we were MONOTHEISTS in the beginning. That only later did we get corrupted with the Magy bullshit. They started modestly with only a few ‘gods’ but it was working so well they added more and more. Then these just put on new clothes and became the saints. Also note that the Christians put the blame on the Goths and Vandals! Goth means God, and they and the Vandals were known as the MOST moral people of their time!
From Heinrich Himmler’s Voice of Our Ancestors we read, ” I think of how the French-speaking monks came from Switzerland to convert our forefathers, the Goths and the Vandals. Even their deadly enemies, the Romans said: “Where the Goths are, there virtue rules. And where the Vandals are, there even the Romans become chaste. And to such men the commandments from Sinai were offered as guiding lights for their lives! Can one understand why these men laughed when they heard those commandments, which demanded that they not commit acts they never would have dreamed of committing? Can one understand that they raised their swords in wrath when the monks told them that they were “born in sin” – these best of the Goths, whose very name means “The Good Ones”? “
It is owing to this long interregnum of science, and to no other cause, that we have now to look back through a vast chasm of many hundred years to the respectable characters we call the Ancients. Had the progression of knowledge gone on proportionably with the stock that before existed, that chasm would have been filled up with characters rising superior in knowledge to each other; and those Ancients we now so much admire would have appeared respectably in the background of the scene. But the Christian system laid all waste; and if we take our stand about the beginning of the sixteenth century, we look back through that long chasm, to the times of the Ancients, as over a vast sandy desert, in which not a shrub appears to intercept the vision to the fertile hills beyond.”
Chapter 13- Comparison of Christianism with the Religious Ideas
“The true deist has but one Deity; and his religion consists in contemplating the power, wisdom, and benignity of the Deity in his works, and in endeavoring to imitate him in every thing moral, scientifically, and mechanical.”
Chapter 16- Application of the Preceding to the System of the Christians
“The persons who first preached the Christian system of faith, and in some measure combined with it the morality preached by Jesus Christ, might persuade themselves that it was better than the heathen mythology that then prevailed. From the first preachers the fraud went on to the second, and to the third, till the idea of its being a pious fraud became lost in the belief of its being true; and that belief became again encouraged by the interest of those who made a livelihood by preaching it. But though such a belief might, by such means, be rendered almost general among the laity, it is next to impossible to account for the continual persecution carried on by the church, for several hundred years, against the sciences, and against the professors of science, if the church had not some record or tradition that it was originally no other than a pious fraud, or did not foresee that it could not be maintained against the evidence that the structure of the universe afforded.”
Chapter 17- Of the Means Employed in all Time, And Almost Universally, to Deceive the Peoples
“Having thus shown the irreconcilable inconsistencies between the real word of God existing in the universe, and that which is called the word of God, as shown to us in a printed book that any man might make, I proceed to speak of the three principal means that have been employed in all ages, and perhaps in all countries, to impose upon mankind. Those three means are Mystery, Miracle, and Prophecy. The first two are incompatible with true religion, and the third ought always to be suspected.
Mystery
With respect to Mystery, everything we behold is, in one sense, a mystery to us. Our own existence is a mystery: the whole vegetable world is a mystery. We cannot account how it is that an acorn, when put into the ground, is made to develop itself and become an oak. We know not how it is that the seed we sow unfolds and multiplies itself, and returns to us such an abundant interest for so small a capital. The fact however, as distinct from the operating cause, is not a mystery, because we see it; and we know also the means we are to use, which is no other than putting the seed in the ground. We know, therefore, as much as is necessary for us to know; and that part of the operation that we do not know, and which if we did, we could not perform, the Creator takes upon himself and performs it for us. We are, therefore, better off than if we had been let into the secret, and left to do it for ourselves. But though every created thing is, in this sense, a mystery, the word mystery cannot be applied to moral truth, any more than obscurity can be applied to light. The God in whom we believe is a God of moral truth, and not a God of mystery or obscurity. Mystery is the antagonist of truth. It is a fog of human invention that obscures truth, and represents it in distortion. Truth never envelops itself in mystery; and the mystery in which it is at any time enveloped, is the work of its antagonist, and never of itself.
Man does not learn religion as he learns the secrets and mysteries of a trade. He learns the theory of religion by reflection. It arises out of the action of his own mind upon the things which he sees, or upon what he may happen to hear or to read, and the practice joins itself thereto.
Miracle
Since then appearances are so capable of deceiving, and things not real have a strong resemblance to things that are, nothing can be more inconsistent than to suppose that the Almighty would make use of means, such as are called miracles, that would subject the person who performed them to the suspicion of being an impostor, and the person who related them to be suspected of lying, and the doctrine intended to be supported thereby to be suspected as a fabulous invention. Of all the modes of evidence that ever were invented to obtain belief to any system or opinion to which the name of religion has been given, that of miracle, however successful the imposition may have been, is the most inconsistent. For, in the first place, whenever recourse is had to show, for the purpose of procuring that belief (for a miracle, under any idea of the word, is a show) it implies a lameness or weakness in the doctrine that is preached. And, in the second place, it is degrading the Almighty into the character of a show-man, playing tricks to amuse and make the people stare and wonder.
If we are to suppose a miracle to be something so entirely out of the course of what is called nature, that she must go out of that course to accomplish it, and we see an account given of such a miracle by the person who said he saw it, it raises a question in the mind very easily decided, which is,—Is it more probable that nature should go out of her course, or that a man should tell a lie? We have never seen, in our time, nature go out of her course; but we have good reason to believe that millions of lies have been told in the same time; it is, therefore, at least millions to one, that the reporter of a miracle tells a lie.
The most extraordinary of all the things called miracles, related in the New Testament, is that of the devil flying away with Jesus Christ, and carrying him to the top of a high mountain; and to the top of the highest pinnacle of the temple, and showing him and promising to him all the kingdoms of the world. How happened it that he did not discover America? or is it only with kingdoms that his sooty highness has any interest.
Prophecy
As Mystery and Miracle took charge of the past and the present, Prophecy took charge of the future, and rounded the tenses of faith. It was not sufficient to know what had been done, but what would be done. The supposed prophet was the supposed historian of times to come; and if he happened, in shooting with a long bow of a thousand years, to strike within a thousand miles of a mark, the ingenuity of posterity could make it point-blank; and if he happened to be directly wrong, it was only to suppose, as in the case of Jonah and Nineveh, that God had repented himself and changed his mind. What a fool do fabulous systems make of man! It has been shewn, in a former part of this work, that the original meaning of the words prophet and prophesying has been changed, and that a prophet, in the sense of the word as now used, is a creature of modern invention; and it is owing to this change in the meaning of the words, that the flights and metaphors of the Jewish poets, and phrases and expressions now rendered obscure by our not being acquainted with the local circumstances to which they applied at the time they were used, have been erected into prophecies, and made to bend to explanations at the will and whimsical conceits of sectaries, expounders, and commentators. Every thing unintelligible was prophetical, and every thing insignificant was typical. A blunder would have served for a prophecy; and a dish-clout for a type.
Upon the whole, Mystery, Miracle, and Prophecy, are appendages that belong to fabulous and not to true religion. They are the means by which so many Lo here’s! and Lo there’s! have been spread about the world, and religion been made into a trade. The success of one impostor gave encouragement to another, and the quieting salvo of doing some good by keeping up a pious fraud protected them from remorse.
Recapitulation
Having now extended the subject to a greater length than I first intended, I shall bring it to a close by abstracting a summary from the whole. First, That the idea or belief of a word of God existing in print, or in writing, or in speech, is inconsistent in itself for the reasons already assigned. These reasons, among many others, are the want of an universal language; the mutability of language; the errors to which translations are subject, the possibility of totally suppressing such a word; the probability of altering it, or of fabricating the whole, and imposing it upon the world.
Secondly, That the Creation we behold is the real and ever existing word of God, in which we cannot be deceived. It proclaimeth his power, it demonstrates his wisdom, it manifests his goodness and beneficence.
Thirdly, That the moral duty of man consists in imitating the moral goodness and beneficence of God manifested in the creation towards all his creatures. That seeing as we daily do the goodness of God to all men, it is an example calling upon all men to practice the same towards each other; and, consequently, that every thing of persecution and revenge between man and man, and every thing of cruelty to animals, is a violation of moral duty.
I trouble not myself about the manner of future existence. I content myself with believing, even to positive conviction, that the power that gave me existence is able to continue it, in any form and manner he pleases, either with or without this body; and it appears more probable to me that I shall continue to exist hereafter than that I should have had existence, as I now have, before that existence began.
From Hitler’s Table Talk we read, “The elements of which our body is made belong to the cycle of nature; and as for our soul, it’s possible that it might return to limbo, until it gets an opportunity to reincarnate itself. But it would vex me if everybody wanted to have done with life.”
It is certain that, in one point, all nations of the earth and all religions agree. All believe in a God, The things in which they disagree are the redundancies annexed to that belief; and therefore, if ever an universal religion should prevail, it will not be believing any thing new, but in getting rid of redundancies, and believing as man believed at first. Adam, if ever there was such a man, was created a Deist; but in the mean time, let every man follow, as he has a right to do, the religion and worship he prefers.”
So you can see Paine, through REASON, made a very strong argument for God and what his Word truly is. I have a sense of peace now in knowing I have reached what I believe to be the truth about God and this world. Our purpose here is to learn, be moral and upright individuals, and by knowing that we are going through cycles on Wralda’s wheel. We are in the Iron Age and ready for a reset so we can be in the glorious Golden Age once again so our people can heal. Like the Fryans, like Paine, like Hitler, all had a faith in what will become of us after we leave this world. That this isn’t the end of our journey, just one cog in it. But even with this “knowing” we must make the most of life given to us by Wralda, however hard it may be. The upright man, and woman, will struggle until their last breath. Hail Wralda! And much love to Thomas Paine, Adolf Hitler, and all Fryans in their noble struggle for our people.
Thank you Scotland Sean, Danielle, and Disillusioned One for helping me in the reading of this presentation. Much love, Kat
Here is the YouTube version:
And here is the Bitchute version:
Hello Kat, it’s a long time ago. I listened to your youtubevideo and to your voice.
Something has changed in your voice. As if your inner self comes out through your voice. It sounds calm. Your articles are still very informative and I admire you for creating them. I don’t think we agree on Hitler, but that is a very complicated issue and there are other issues these days. I hope you are doing fine. That is what I wanted you to know!.
Greetings Lidy,
Well you are the only one that has said “something has changed” in my voice. I’m the same ‘ol me. But thank you. I hope you are doing as well as you can in this day and age. It’s hard for us awake ones. Big hugs and all the best, Kat
The OLB says it ok to take your own life, that suicide is acceptable??? – Best think again!
I personally wouldn’t trust that at all. Rather than just accept it, just because it’s written in some book, do some research. So, I’ve been researching on my own the NDE (near death experience) of suicides, as well as other forms of death. This one particular near suicide death experience got my immediate attention:
A single mother of two small boys decided she could no longer endure the emotional, financial hardship of her life. So, she took a pistol and aimed it at her chest and pulled the trigger. She immediately felt the impact of the NDE take effect. She was quite shocked when she found her spiritual body was very much alive, and in another dimension. And a very dark one at that. She experienced nothing but sadness and a deep despair, with the sound of thousands upon thousands of other departed souls weeping loudly.
At one point the woman claimed she heard a Loud Voice speak directly to her. She said it was the voice of the Holy Father. And HIs voice carried the two distinct emotions of anger & disappointment, by saying to her, “How Could Do Such a Thing?”
The young woman shot back with her reply, “My life was too hard, I could not take it anymore!”. And without a pause, the Holy voice replied back with, “Of course your life is hard, it’s meant to be!”.
And nothing more was said to her, and in that moment the woman has given a ‘full life review’. Her entire life, from the moment she was born, until her moment of death, was flashing before her. While this occurred, her physical body from the gun blast had been discovered and was rushed to the hospital. She later awoke in the hospital, totally shaken to the core.
I have found there are many other dark NDEs, much like hers as well. Howard Storm talks of his encounter with Hell in his book My Descent into Death. It became quite the game changer for him too! So, these people who claim quite seriously of the dark side of death, should speak volumes to the rest of us. We who are just trying every day to deal with life that is hard, “because it’s meant to be”. Hmm……worth pondering!
Yes that’s what it says. Now let’s put that in context for people. Where it says that in the book is where Friso’s children were abducted by Demetrius and “defiled”. Friso found out and had them commit suicide “to save their souls.” Fryans believed that if the body was defiled, that when they died they would ROAM THE EARTH and not go to Valhalla. No mention of scary hell like in Christianity by the way. So suicide would be a GOOD thing to SAVE THEIR SOULS. We know that today we are told the inverse of everything- to our detriment and by design- to our destruction. If we look to the rest of the OLB we see that dying as an old man or woman is NOT the preferred way, but instead to die a NOBLE DEATH in battle or on a courageous adventure. The OLB is a collection of writings WARNING our people what our enemies do to manipulate us and defile us. It is NOT a work of fiction.
Now, without DIRECT EXPERIENCE of having an NDE, we would have no way of knowing what actually happens. Do you believe in the Holo cost? Well that has proven to be untrue, yet we have many “stories” coming out of that as well. We also have many stories of people saying they have personal experiences with Jesus and I remember before Flat Earth happened there were people saying they were secretly taken to a base on the Dark Side of the Moon! What the OLB does NOT say, is anything about experiences of NDE’s. They do NOT discuss what happens AFTER we die. Because to do so would be speculation, not truth. If you read Thomas Paine’s The Age of Reason, it would be very helpful in grounding you. Giving you guidance on HOW we should look at the world, through REASON and DIRECT EXPERIENCE.
