The World Rulers
T he world is not ruled by wise and benevolent people. The opposite is true. Humanity is ruled by the psychopathic, the narcissistic and the Machiavellian the malevolent Dark Triad. For humanity to progress, it needs to learn how to beat these people, how to identify them early and stop them getting to the top.
The Dark Triad types are always entropic and extreme individualists (they are all-consumingly selfish and care exclusively about themselves). We need to get the Light Triad to the top the Compassionate and Empathic (the opposite of psychopaths); the Altruistic (those who care about others, hence arent self-obsessed like the narcissists); and the Philosopher Kings and Queens (the opposite of the Machiavellians, who are Sophists who only ever calculate what is personally advantageous to them).
Plato, in the Republic , set out how to avoid the Dark Triad from ever reaching power. In his system, only the wisest were allowed to lead. No nation in history has ever implemented Platos supremely enlightened and progressive ideas. Funny that.
The Hive God
G od is a Collective, a Hive Mind. God is all there is. But what happens if you break God into all of the individual minds of which it is comprised? Each mind still belongs to God, but no longer exercises the power associated with God. God, the One, is that which exercises the power of the All Mind (all the minds of the Hive acting in total cooperation, in one direction only, with perfect focus). God, the Many (the divided rather than united Hive), is much less powerful because it is all about the part Mind, the fractional Mind, the Mind operating parts-wise rather than holistically, with each individual mind doing its own thing rather than all the minds combining and expressing their power as One. The One has broken its own collective power into the Many, into countless warring parts, into rival and jostling centers of power. It has splintered and shattered its own awesome, divine power. Its power is now being used against itself, in a catastrophic civil war.
We are all God, but we are GOD DIVIDED. We are the exploded God, the God shattered by the Big Bang, and thereby infected by space, time, matter and entropy: the principles and agents of individuation.
Abrahamists believe in One Creator God. They say, How can we all be God? There is only God, and he is above us all and he made us all. In fact, we are the Creator God. We were all that One God, the Creator, prior to the Big Bang, our supreme act of creation, and yet also our supreme act of disintegration and sacrifice. Some have even called this event a Divine Suicide .
Christianity has the idea of God committing suicide on the cross (its suicide because, if Jesus is God, he could stop the crucifixion at any moment, hence he is causing himself to die). This is a primitive echo of God committing suicide by detonating himself at the Big Bang. However, the Big Bang does not actually kill God. What it does is divide him, and evolution is then all about God putting himself back together again.
Forget the man hanging on the cross. He didnt die for us. He didnt sacrifice himself to save us. We died for ourselves. We sacrificed ourselves. Why? To avoid stasis. To expand our horizons, to have an infinitely larger range of experiences, to encounter and understand ourselves in every conceivable facet of our existence.
The Hive Mind, as One, is extremely limited in what it can experience. It can experience only its own unity. Nothing else is available to it. The Hive Mind, as Many, is entirely different. Now every individual mind can experience itself fully, in its own right, independent of all the others, and it can also experience its interaction with every other mind in existence. In other words, the Hive Mind has expanded its range of experience from just one experience the experience of perfect Unity to infinite experiences the experience of complete Disunity, of every individual mind having its own different experiences as opposed to all minds having exactly the same experience.
What kind of God would deny himself the infinite? What kind of God would not want to have infinite experiences, all possible experiences ? Is that not the very nature of God, i.e. to have total knowledge and experience of everything ? How could God be God if it did not know all and experience all? If God didnt do this, it would be limited, it would be less than God.
Reality is configured so as to allow God to explore everything, and that takes eternity! What else would God do if not seek to have all possible knowledge and all possible experiences? That means that God has to become each and every one of us, and also to experience not the best of all possible worlds, but all possible worlds (each of which evolves to perfection at its conclusion, in order to start the next cycle). Every possible world reaches a worst possible state (hell), from which it then ascends to the perfect state (heaven).
How can the Abrahamic God be God given that it does not know and experience evil, it does not know and experience the plight of the true individual, up against the rest of existence?
Why is Christianity the worlds most successful religion? Its because it did something absolutely amazing. It pulled off a psychological master-stroke. It imagined God having a human experience. It made God one of us, up against all the issues that afflict all of us.
The idea of Jesus Christ God as man is exactly right, which is why so many people have been drawn to Christianity. The defining error of Christianity is that Jesus Christ was conceived as a unique individual, a one off. In fact, every single one of us is Jesus Christ . We are all God as an individual, surrounded by the rest of God, i.e. all the other individual minds.
It wasnt Rome that crucified Jesus Christ, it was God. There is only one agent in the universe God but because God is a Hive Mind and can operate through all of its component minds, it can seem as if there are countless agents, all doing their own thing. But they are in fact all part of the same system. They all belong to a fundamental Unity the Hive Mind as One.
God is all that exists. Everyone is God. The universe is God. This reality of ours strange, wonderful and terrible is all just God in Gods countless different modes and ways of expressing, experiencing and knowing itself.
Do you see how absolutely everything changes as soon as God is changed from a Super Being that creates everything else (out of nothing, i.e. out of non-God ) to a Super Hive Being that creates everything out of itself ?
Abrahamism creates an absolute separation and infinite distance between its Creator God and everything else (Creation). Everything else is entirely dependent on God. This creates an automatic master-slave paradigm. God is master, and everyone else must do what God wants or else . Immediately, the binary idea is created that if you do what God wants, you are rewarded with heaven, while if you disobey, you are punished with hell. The Chief Disobeyer is the Devil, who rules hell, the opposite of heaven.
Everything changes once you know that God is all there is. There is no longer a master-slave paradigm. Rather, we are all cells, units or nodes of God. We are all equally divine. No one is master, and no one is slave. We are all equals, but we can choose to compete (and create conflict, i.e. hell) or cooperate (and create harmony, i.e. heaven.). Its our choice. Our destiny is in our own hands, and created by our own choices. No one else is involved. There is no external Super Being.
