“The essence of the human is not the body, but the soul. It is the soul alone that God made in his own image and the soul that he loves….For the sake of the soul…the Son of God came into the world….” (Incomplete Work on Matthew, Homily 25, Ancient Christian Devotional, Oden and Crosby, p. 153)

In Biblical thought, the body is inert matter organized and vitalized by the soul. A human life is a soul which informs inert matter, thus a body without a soul is no more than a disorganized mass of cells that would quickly deconstruct, said Pastor Louis Pernot in a sermon delivered at the Temple de l’Etoile in Paris. (“Body, Mind, and Soul,” Nov. 28, 2010)
The noblest part of the soul is spirit (the heart). Spirit is immortal and self-aware. It can will and think and is freely responsible for what it thinks, wills, and does.
Spirit is the unique property that distinguishes soul from matter. In Biblical thought, spirit allows man to spiritually transcend the natural dimension in order to access the supernatural dimension, thereby allowing him to enter into a personal relationship with the Spirit of God. Through this relationship, man’s conscience is cleansed over time, thus enabling him to more perfectly orient the manner of his existence in this world in preparation for eternity.
In Christian thought, a person is a spirit and personality is the total individuality of the spirit. Without spirit there is no person.
Pastor Pernot notes that the key to individual liberty in the temporal sphere is man’s spiritual liberty contrasted against a genetically programmed animal-like orientation. Animals do not have spirits, which are linked to intelligence, imagination, sensitivity, self-consciousness, reflection and the capacity for truth and moral goodness.
A person is uniquely free because he can spiritually transcend matter to access the supernatural dimension as Paul affirms:
“Now the Lord is Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom” (2 Cor. 3:17)
Man is God’s spiritual image-bearer, and, said the brilliant French economist, statesman, and author Frederic Bastiat, this is the gift from God which includes the physical, intellectual and moral life:

“He has provided us with a collection of marvelous faculties. And He has put us in the midst of a variety of natural resources. By application of our faculties to these natural resources we convert them into products, and use them. Life, faculties, production—in other words, individuality, liberty, property—this is man (and) these three gifts from God precede all human legislation, and are superior to it. Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.” (How Evil Works, David Kupelian, p.

Vishal Mangalwadi, India’s foremost Christian scholar observes that the unique concept of man as God’s spiritual image-bearer gave birth to the “belief in the unique dignity of human beings,” and this is,

”…the force that created Western civilization, where citizens do not exist for the state but the state exists for the individuals. Even kings, presidents, prime ministers, and army generals cannot be allowed to trample upon an individual and his or her rights.” (Truth and Transformation: A Manifesto for Ailing Nations, pp. 12-13)

Death of the Western and American Soul

Jesus to Buddha, “….you took God away from them (and) your espousal of an absence of self is the most unique and fearsome claim you made…You turned from Hinduism because it said there was an essential self, which they called the atman.” (The Lotus and the Cross: Jesus Talks with Buddha, Ravi Zacharias, pp.59, 67)

Of all Christian doctrines the most difficult to understand is that of creatio ex nihilo (creation out of nothing). This doctrine is the complete opposite of ancient and modern evolutionary cosmogonies affirming that the universe and even the gods, emerged or evolved out of a pre-existing substance such as primordial matter or the watery chaos, which begs the question of where the substances came from.

The Triune God’s miraculous creation has its’ foundation in the fact that He spoke all things into existence from nothing. Early Church Father Irenaeus comments,

“God, in the exercise of his will and pleasure, formed all things…out of what did not previously exist.”

But if there is no Triune God, then it logically follows that there is no source for life, consciousness, soul, spirit and will, or for human dignity, worth, liberty, and property. Without God the Father unalienable (God-given) rights are meaningless. If man is not God’s spiritual image-bearer, then he is less than nothing, a conclusion Buddha reached long before Jesus Christ walked this earth:

“Six centuries before Jesus Christ, the Buddha already knew that if God does not exist, then the human self cannot exist either……Therefore, he deconstructed the Hindu idea of the soul. When one starts peeling the onion skin of one’s psyche, he discovers that there is no solid core at the center of one’s being. Your sense of self is an illusion. Reality is nonself (anatman). You don’t exist. Liberation, the Buddha taught, is realizing the unreality of your existence.” (The Book That Made Your World: How the Bible Created the Soul of Western Civilization, Vishal Mangalwadi, p. 6)

Teaching Monstrous Lies About God

The great Oriental scholar Max Muller observed that monotheism preceded the polytheism and monism of the Veda. It was Buddha who took the God of monotheism away. Buddha craved God-like power to reinterpret the order of being— to deconstruct and reinterpret the soul. Taking power not only requires the murder of God but the teaching of lies.

Telling lies is wrong. But telling lies about God is a monstrous crime with eternal consequences.

Centuries later, Kant, Hegel, Marx, Darwin, Freud, and Nietzsche, among others, followed in Buddha’s footsteps. God was taken away, man’s soul deconstructed and lies taught as truth. Eric Voegelin comments:

“….the order of being (was) obliterated (and reinterpreted) as essentially under man’s control.” Taking control “requires the decapitation of being — the murder of God.” (Eric Voegelin, “Science, Politics and Gnosticism,” p. xv)

In place of man as God’s spiritual image-bearer, the New Man was beast-man, qualitatively no different from a rat, pig, or ape.

Nihilism, or non-belief in one’s own soul, is the logical assumption if the transcendent God does not exist. Nihilism is spiritual, moral, and intellectual suicide, yet for the last two hundred years, Enlightenment atheist humanists—-rationalists, materialists, positivists and their modern naturalist counterparts such as occult New Agers and Trans-humanists—-have been moving the West and America closer and closer to Buddha’s denial of the soul.

Beginning with Kant, soul was separated from body. Man was a machine. Soul hovered somewhere in the vicinity. This did not go far enough for Enlightenment nature philosophers however. Lester Crocker explains:

“There existed in the eighteenth century a widespread desire to equate the moral with the physical world…” What was desired above all was “total integration of man in nature, with refusal of any transcendence, even though it was admitted that (being God’s image-bearer) gave him certain special abilities and ways of thinking. The important thing, as La Mettrie, d’Holbach and others made clear, is that he is submitted to the same laws; everything is response to need—mechanically… like a tree or a machine. Man merely carries out natural forces—without any freedom whatsoever—in all he does, whether he loves or hates, helps or hurts, gives life or takes it.” (Monsters from the Id, E. Michael Jones, pp. 5, 7)

Nietzsche declared the death of the Triune God and reinterpreted soul as an aspect of body, but it was Marxist materialists who attempted to scientifically re-engineer human beings after the fashion of Buddha’s programmatic nihilism said Mangalwadi.

After seizing control of Russia, they utilized mind-conditioning techniques such as propaganda and re-education with emphasis on Darwinism as well as mind-altering drugs, electro-shock therapy, terror and other brutal measures to,

“…liquidate all expressions of individual identity in favor of an impersonal collective, communal consciousness.” (The Book that Made Your World, p. 74)

With B.F. Skinners’ behaviorism there is neither God nor soul. Human beings are chemicals turned into psychochemical machines determined by environment, chemistry, chance, and cultural conditioning.

With Richard Dawkins nihilism, metaphysical “thinking” memes plant thoughts in the grey matter of psychochemical organisms that are fatalistically determined by DNA.

Cognitive scientist Daniel Dennett, one of the Four Horsemen of Atheism, claims there really is no you, that soul, spirit and will are illusions caused by chemical interactions in the brain while his partner in nihilism, naturalist Tom Wolfe proclaims,

“Sorry, but your soul just died.” (The Spiritual Brain: A Neuroscientist’s Case for the Existence of the Soul, Beauregard and O’Leary, p. 4)

After World War II reaction set in against the eclipse of the unseen dimension by materialist and positivist simplifiers. Seeing the writing on the wall, Mortimer J. Adler, the guiding hand behind The Encyclopedia Britannica predicted that belief in the unseen dimension would soon be considered orthodox science. (The Seduction of Christianity, Hunt and McMahon, p. 107)

Sure enough, scientism, evolution, theosophy, spiritism, Vedanta monism and shamanism mingled, giving rise to occult science. Whereas the metaphysical program of materialist scientism outwardly denies anything nonphysical and supposedly confines itself to physical laws, occult scientism deals with spiritual laws and metaphysical forces believed to govern the physical. Building off of Darwin’s materialist theory of evolution, Teilhard’s spiritual theory teaches that after millions of years of evolution an impersonal god has emerged from matter. Whereas Christianity had de-divinized nature, Teilhard’s theory trumpets its’ re-divinization. The stage was set for the return of the gods and goddesses.
Buddha’s Nihilism Comes to America
In no Western thinker has Buddha’s nihilist doctrine been more clearly expressed than in Nietzsche’s ecstatic utterance, “God is dead.” God is dead in the hearts of modern Westerners:
“…and it is as true of the atheists and Satanists who rejoice in the fact, as it is of the unsophisticated multitudes….Man has lost faith in God and in the Divine Truth that once sustained him; the apostasy to worldliness that has characterized the modern age since its beginning becomes, in Nietzsche, conscious of itself and finds words to express itself. God is dead…” (Nihilism: The Root of the Revolution of the Modern Age, Eugene Rose, p. 60)
Prior to the turn of the century, God was already dead in the hearts of America’s ‘elite’ progressives, and upon the arrival of Swami Vivekananda at the Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893 the ‘elites’ eagerly embraced him:

“He was immediately lionized by high society in Boston and New York. Philosophers at Harvard were mightily impressed. Many wealthy high society types and intellectuals reverted to the Buddhist idea that self is an illusion. They constituted a ‘… hard core of disciples who supported him and his grandiose dream: the evangelizing of the Western world by….Vedantic (monistic) Hinduism.” (Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future, Fr. Seraphim Rose, p. 21)

Vedanta Societies were established in America and Europe for the purpose of injecting Vedantic ideas into the bloodstream of the West and America. Among those who helped disseminate Vedanta monism were Aldous Huxley, Christopher Isherwood, Somerset Maugham, and Teilhard de Chardin.

The Sixties witnessed a whole series of Indian gurus make their mark on the student generation. Popular culture was introduced to any number of nature- beliefs, from Vedanta monism, Zen Buddhism, pantheism, panentheism, reincarnation and karma to belief in a vague immanent ‘force,’ World Soul, Gaia (Mother Earth) and Teilhard de Chardin’s Omega Point:

“…..de Chardin believed that humanity could achieve a form of Godhood or a high level of spirituality called the Omega Point. This was an evolutionary process that everyone could attain through discipline and dedication to the path of enlightenment.” (Reflections of the Omega Point, Frank Tipler, omegapoint.org)

The exciting new spirituality discouraged belief in the Biblical God and promised followers that by dedication to the path of enlightenment they would attain godhood through the merging of their souls with the cosmic universe. Through guided imagery, Tantric sex, kundalini yoga, hypnosis, possibility-thinking, dream-work, past-life regression, mind-altering drugs, rhythmic music, and spiritistic practices such as channeling, initiates could be raised to new levels of consciousness, develop psychic powers, release their souls from their bodies through astral projection and merge their consciousness with the void.
In his article, “Confronting Neo-Paganism in the Culture and the Church” Dr. Peter Jones reports that many of the architects of the new spirituality,
“…. such as Aldous Huxley, Joseph Campbell, and Huston Smith were converts of Vedanta ….. Contemporary architects… call themselves ‘Cultural Creative’s,’ ‘Progressives,’ ‘Evolutionaries,’ ‘Integral Spiritualists,’ ‘Interspiritualists’ or ‘Transtraditional Spiritualists.’ It is doubtless true to say that the key New Age leaders and their present disciples all claim some form of Vedantic enlightenment.” (truthexchange, Apr. 12, 2011)

It is already the case that for increasing numbers of contemporary believers the death of God has made it impossible for them to affirm the existence of the human self thus they actively seek the annihilation of their souls through drugs, Tantric sex, yoga, and meditation. As with Buddha and contemporary Hindu gurus some initiates are trying to merge their individual consciousness with the void.

Perverted Christianity

Jesus to Buddha: “Wherever the worship of the living God has been perverted, it has always been the result of a departure from my Word….when my people cast aside the Word, the absolute is lost. Pollution in worship is the result.” (The Lotus and the Cross, pp. 74, 77)

Perpetuating the lies of his predecessors, spiritual evolutionist and Vedanta prophet Ken Wilber, a Mahayana Buddhist from a Christian background, teaches “integral spirituality.” A popular author whose teachings have been avidly studied by world leaders, politicians (i.e. Bill Clinton and Al Gore), scholars, writers, artists, musicians, spiritual teachers and pop culture icons, Wilber combines evolution with the world’s nature religions, morals, and Eastern and Western philosophy so as to establish a universal spirituality.

A panentheist, Wilber imagines that the entire universe is God evolving from matter through billions of years toward de Chardin’s ‘Omega Point.’ Having evolved from primordial soup beast-man now evolves toward total god-consciousness, and in this way, the imaginary god is in process of becoming while evolution becomes conscious of itself.
A form of Christianized-Vedanta monism is already here, said Dr. Peter Jones:
“Evolutionary Christianity” is producing the longed-for and much-prophesied synthesis, namely, the union of science and spirituality…. Evolutionary Christianity is a variant of Wilber’s ‘Theory of Everything’, a worldview of (Vedanta monism) that claims to explain everything through the notion of human evolution into a non-dual divine. Michael Dowd, the ex-Evangelical now evangelist for evolution (agrees) with Bishop’s Spong’s post-theistic Christianity (and) declares supernatural other-worldly religion will die out for a post-metaphysical natural religion.”
Jones adds that Evolutionary Christianity is an online gathering place for:
“….evangelical theistic evolutionists, ‘progressive’ Emergent Christian leaders, radical post-theistic Christian liberals, Christian non-dual mystics, pro-homosexual ministers, radical religious feminists, and recognized evolutionary scientists. Some are deeply influenced by Pierre Teillard de Chardin, and pagan “geologians” such as Thomas Berry and Brian Swimme.”
Emergent Church Pastor Rob Bell for example, enthusiastically endorses Ken Wilber and claims to be reinventing Christianity as an Eastern religion while evangelical leader Leonard Sweet uses quantum physics to ‘scientifically’ prove that God is ‘in’ everything. Not surprisingly, Sweet cites Teilhard de Chardin as “20th century Christianity’s major voice.” (Normalizing Necromancy: Tempting the Church to Talk with the Dead, Worldview Weekend, 1/23/12)
Nihilism underlies all permutations of the ‘new’ spirituality, whether Evolutionary Christianity, Hinduism, Gnosticism, Mythology, Jungian Depth Psychology, the Perennial Philosophy, Interfaith, Trans-humanism, Wicca, Scientology, Goddess worship, or the spiritual ‘gay’ agenda, for there is no form of the new spirituality that is not naturalistic. All are equally God-less; none have a source for life, consciousness, and soul, hence all are merely different expressions of nihilism.

Welcome to the Theater of the Absurd

For over two hundred years, nihilist philosophies have been working their way through our culture, embedding themselves, often unconsciously, within our psyches. This means that not only is the way we see ourselves and America colored by nihilism, but to the degree that our minds have been polluted are we immobilized by apathy, the spiritual emptiness that says in reaction to our peculiarly twisted, degraded culture, “Why bother?’

The strangely twisted atmosphere of our age is the “death of God” made tangible and it is Nietzsche who describes our meaningless, disordered, ugly, atonal, brutal, upside-down climate of nothingness:

“We have killed him (God), you and I! …But how have we done it? How were we able to drink up the sea? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the whole horizon? What did we do when we loosened this earth from its sun? Whither does it now move? Whither do we move? …Do we not dash on unceasingly? Backwards, sideways, forwards, in all directions? Is there still an above and below? Do we not stray…through infinite nothingness? Does not empty space breathe upon us? …Does not night come on continually, darker and darker?” (Nihilism: The Root of the Revolution of the Modern Age, Eugene Rose, p. 108)

Such is the theater of the absurd in which there is neither up nor down, male nor female, right nor wrong, true nor false, normal nor abnormal because the living God is dead, and while America and the West drift aimlessly in “infinite nothingness” nihilism progressively dissolves the foundation of soul, mind, worth, morality, family, and individual liberty.

America and the West are swirling ever downward in a spiraling vortex issuing into a void of outer darkness…..hell.

Choose Life that You May Live

As the new spirituality forcefully sweeps over and across America it effects a counter-conversion of souls. This means that in turning away from the Triune God comes the reversal of conversion in which the soul ceases to live from the spirit and begins to live with the life of the body. The disordered passions thereby revived absorb the life of the person who spiritually dies resulting in the natural man of 2 Tim. 3:3. (St. Tikhon, Works II, as quoted in Political Apocalypse: A Study of Dostoevsky’s Grand Inquisitor, Ellis Sandoz, p. 120)

“….. I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing, therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life…” Deuteronomy 30:19-20

The Second Person of the Holy Trinity, the Word become Flesh, Jesus Christ the Physician came to heal the spiritually sick. But whoever rejects the Physician and his own soul, whether through indifference or outright denial, rejects His prescription, hence destroys him or herself.

Destruction however, does not mean annihilation of the soul. The soul though immortal, said St. Augustine, nevertheless suffers a kind of death when the living God forsakes it:

“…in that penal and everlasting punishment….the soul is…said to die because it does not live in connection with God (meaning that) though man does not cease to feel, yet because this feeling is neither sweet… nor wholesome (but) painfully penal, it is (called) death rather than life.” (St. Augustine’s City of God, Chapter 2, Of that Death Which Can Affect an Immortal Soul, and of that to Which the Body is Subject)

Today the words Marxist, communist, and fascist have devolved into essentially meaningless, emotionalized epitaphs brandished by people whose understanding of their true meaning is so lacking as to be on a par with “I hate you!” and “you miserable scum bag!”

So just what are Fascist Socialism, Marxist Communism and its contemporary version, Cultural Marxism?

At the deepest, most important level of all, these ideologies are really about the human condition after the Fall and the causes of evil and suffering as defined by fallen mankind.

From the moment that Adam and Eve were ushered out of paradise, men began complaining:

“Why must we die? Why must there be decay? Why must we work? Why does he have (fill in the blanks) but I do not? That’s unfair! Why can’t we say, do and have whatever we desire? If it feels good (libidinous impulses) then why shouldn’t we do it? Why must there be authority, rules, norms, absolutes, and consequences? Why does it have to be this way? Why can’t it be the way we want it to be?”

And finally: Who or what is the cause of our suffering?

From Nimrod to Karl Marx and contemporary rebels and apostates, the answer is the transcendent Authority of God the Father Almighty together with the fallen condition of man and the world:

“Now it was Nimrod who excited them to such an affront and contempt of God.”    He “changed the government into tyranny” in order to turn them away from God and make them dependent upon his own power.   He also would be revenged upon God “if he should have a mind to drown the world again; for that he would build a tower too high for the waters to be able to reach!”  And he would “avenge himself on God for destroying their forefathers.”    (Jewish historian Josephus cited in” Who was Nimrod?”  Dr. David Livingston)

Karl Marx dreamt of ruining the world created by God the Father and proclaiming himself ‘god.’  In his poem “Human Pride,” he writes that after ruining the world:

“I will wander godlike and victorious /Through the ruins of the world/ And, giving my words an active force/ I will feel equal to the Creator.”  ((Marx and Satan, Richard Wurmbrand, pp. 30-31)

Marx’s comrade in arms, Mikhail Bakunin, aligned himself with the Devil and declared:

“The Evil One is the satanic revolt against divine authority….Socialists recognize each other by the words, “In the name of the one to whom a great wrong has been done….Satan (is) the eternal rebel, the first freethinker and the emancipator of worlds.” (Mikhail Bakunin, ibid, p. 27)

After confessing to his ‘cosmic authority’ problem, New York University professor Thomas Nagel admits:

“I want atheism to be true and am made uneasy by the fact that some of the most intelligent and well-informed people I know are religious believers.  It isn’t just that I don’t believe in God (but) that I hope there is no God!  I don’t want there to be a God; I don’t want the universe to be like that.”  (The Rage Against God, Peter Hitchens, p. 150)

It is when the terrible-willed and their followers–most generally pleasure-seeking hedonists– become possessive of the things of this world and resentful of the “way things are” that they rebel against God the Father and raise up new Towers of Babel—separate paradises— here on earth.   With Nimrod it was Babylon.   Marx’s Tower was the materialist Communist worker’s paradise while  Hitler’s Babel was his socialist Third Reich.    Today’s occult New Age heralds the coming of  the final Tower—a planetary communist paradise, but it will be blatantly Luciferic rather than materialist.

In the preface to “The Silmarillion,” the all-important creation account that sets the stage for the subsequent Lord of the Rings trilogy, J.R.R. Tolkien observes of the terrible-willed:

“…. (they) will rebel against the laws of the Creator—especially against mortality.” Possessiveness toward the things of this world alone or together with hatred of death and decay “will lead to the desire for Power, for making the will more quickly effective–and so to the Machine (magic).” (p. xiii)

Tolkien defines magic as the abuse of God-given talents and powers fueled by the:

“corrupted motive of dominating: bull-dozing the real world, or coercing other wills” by way of ideologies designed for the unmaking of the world as it is.

In other words, when pride, wrath, lust and envy inflate to monstrous proportions it is then that the terrible-willed declare the death of God, usurp His powers, declare themselves gods and  invent reality-denying ideologies such as rationalism, materialism, liberalism, secularism, determinism, green environmentalism, socialism, and evolutionism to seduce and coerce other wills:

“Darwinism came at the desired time; Darwin’s theory that man is the descendant of a lower animal destroyed the entire foundation of Christian dogma. “  (Anton Pannekoek, Marxism And Darwinism, Translated by Nathan Weiser. Transcribed for the Internet by Jon Muller, Chicago, Charles H. Kerr & Company Co-operative Copyright, 1912 by Charles H. Kerr & Company)

And of course straight-forward questions are absolutely forbidden lest they expose the corpus of lies, hate, hypocrisy, deceit and delusion underlying and fueling the ‘Machine.’

On the subject of the Machine, Herbert Schlossberg perceptively observed:

“Exalting mankind to the status of deity…dates from the farthest reaches of antiquity, but its development into an ideology embracing the masses is a characteristic of modernity.” (Herbert Schlossberg, cited in The Seduction of Christianity, Dave Hunt and T.A. McMahon)

Ex-Communist atheist Alexander Solzhenitsyn described the terrible-willed god-men as the masters of the world who, bearing no evil within themselves, have declared that all the evils of the world are caused not by man’s fallen human condition but by deterministic external or natural causes— unjust, unfair systems.

In his book, “Cry Havoc: The Great American Bring-Down and How it Happened,” Ralph de Toledano identifies the unfair, unjust systems:

“the morality that derives from the Old and New Testaments, the traditional family, the respect for the past as a guide to the future, the restraint of man’s baser instincts, and a socio-political organization which guaranteed freedom without license. Of these obstacles, the two greatest were God and the family.” (p. 26)

Former atheist Peter Hitchens notes that throughout the West the Left’s hostility to Christian theism is specific because orthodox Christianity:

“….is the religion of their own homes and homeland, the form in which they have encountered—and generally disliked and resented—the power of God in their own lives…..the Left sympathizes with Islam because (it is) the enemy of their (own enemy, the Christian culture).”   (Hitchens, p. 131)

Hostility to God and Christianity is not confined to just the Left but shared equally with GOP atheist insiders.    Because of their hostility to God and Christianity they hold in utter contempt the middle-class, mainly Christian constituents they must rely upon to be re-elected.

Solzhenitsyn summarized the whole meaning of Fascism, Marxist Communism and Cultural Marxism when he described their three main causes as rebellion against God the Father quickly followed by apostasy and denial of man’s fallen condition, allowing the rebels and apostates to comfortably “forget” that evil cuts right through the hearts of all men, themselves included.

Peter Hitchens writes that atheists and antitheists who have the good fortune to live in a society governed by religious belief:

“….may feel free from absolute moral bonds, while those around them are not.  This is a tremendous liberation for anyone who is even slightly selfish.  And what clever person is not imaginatively and cunningly selfish?”   (Peter Hitchens, p. 148)

Modern ideologies and the murderous utopian systems spawned by them are spiritual diseases of fallen  men.  The only cure is spiritual regeneration through submission to God the Father Almighty.

Linda writes on culture and worldview issues.

Whereas the Founding generation esteemed the Bible and used it to teach their children to read, comprehend and think logically as well as to properly train them in morality and self-discipline, in contemporary America, God, Bible, and moral absolutes have been banned in favor of evolutionary science, atheism, moral relativism, and self-gratification. The still-unfolding consequences of all of this are destructive and terrible, adversely affecting every level of society from the individual to the family, community, and cultural institutions to local and national politics.

In post-Christian America atheist evolutionism is taken for granted throughout the college curriculum, just as it is in all aspects of modern thought and experience, especially within the progressive liberal community. Evolution not only undergirds biological and earth sciences, but also Freudian and Jungian psychology, anthropology, law, sociology, politics, economics, the media, arts, medicine, and all other academic disciplines as well.

Evolution-believers range from atheists and scientists to esoteric Free Masonry, Hollywood insiders, occult New Age spiritists, Satanists, powerful Transnational Progressives, and large numbers of people who call themselves Christian. Among this last group are Liberal Christians, Roman Catholics, Protestants, Emergent Church leaders Brian McLaren and Rob Bell, growing numbers of the Evangelical contemporary Church, and an increasingly vocal community of Christian scholars and scientists such as Dennis Venema. Venema is a senior fellow at BioLogos Foundation, a Christian group that tries to reconcile the Bible with evolutionary science, and as a consequence teach that humans emerged from apes.

Evolutionary naturalism is poisoning and destroying America’s traditional foundations, and when the foundations have finally been destroyed, all that is built upon them will be destroyed as well.

Americans have been deceived, and are needful of learning the truth about Darwinism—and all other evolutionary theories, by whatever name they are called.
Evolutionism: Spiritual…not Empirical

Though Popper esteemed evolutionary theory and natural selection, he also forthrightly stated that Darwinism is not a testable scientific theory but rather a metaphysical research program. By this he means that not only is Darwinism metaphysical (spiritual), but so are its’ two most important foundations, classical empiricism and the observationalist philosophy of science that grew out of it.

Empiricism is a theory of knowledge that contradicts itself by asserting that human knowledge comes only or primarily via sensory experience rather than the mind while observationalism asserts that human knowledge and theories must be based on empirical observations….instead of the mind. For this reason, Popper argued strongly against empiricism and observationalism, saying that scientific theories and human knowledge generally, is conjectural or hypothetical and is generated by the creative imagination.

In other words, all three theories originated in the mind, a power of which is imagination. As mind is a power of soul, then Darwinism, empiricism, and observationalism are spiritual. In short, all three theories are frauds. They claim to be what they are not in order to obtain an advantage over the Genesis account of creation by imposition of immoral means.

In Noah Webster’s American Dictionary of the English Language, 1828, soul and imagination are respectively defined as:
1. Soul: “The spiritual, rational and immortal substance in man, which distinguishes him from brutes; that part of man which enables him to think and reason.”
The Founding generation knew that mind is a power of soul, and imagination the power by which mind conceives:
2. Imagination: “…the power or faculty of the mind by which it conceives and forms ideas of things communicated to it by the senses….The business of conception (and the) power of modifying our conceptions, by combining the parts of different ones so as to form new wholes of our own creation…(imagination) selects the parts of different conceptions, or objects of memory, to form a whole more pleasing, more terrible, or more awful, than has ever been presented in the ordinary course of nature.”

In conclusion, evolutionism is an invention of imagination, an invention more terrible and more destructive than has ever been presented in the ordinary course of nature. It imagines that God is dead, that life somehow emerged out of nonlife, that man is not created in the spiritual image of God the Father but is rather a soulless, mindless ex-ape of evolution. It imagines there is no sin, no “hell below us, and above us only sky.”
Evolutionism is an invention of imagination, and it has taken the post-Christian West by storm.

“Barbarism is that which prevailed from the days of Adam down through ten generations to the time of Noah.  It is called barbarism because of the fact that in those times men had no ruling authority or mutual accord, but every man was independent and a law unto himself after the dictates of his own will.”   (John of Damascus, “The Fount of Knowledge,” cited in Political Apocalypse, Ellis Sandoz, p. 131)

After studying civilizations across the whole span of history, noted historian Arnold Toynbee concluded that the paramount religion of mankind is self-worship…of man as god.    Tal Brooke concurs, noting that historically there has always been an exoteric polytheism-pantheism for the general masses and a high level esoteric “advaitic” monism for the higher initiate.   For initiates then:

“…. the Great Lie (is) the foundation stone of Hinduism, Buddhism, Sufism, Jainism, Sikhism, Taoism, the Kabala, the Greek Hermetic, Eleusinian and Gnostic beliefs, Neo-Platonism, all the occult creeds from Theosophy and the Masonic orders to the Rosicrucian’s (and) the New Age movement.  The Great Lie is…the belief that man is God, that his true identity is the immortal self…that as God, he will never die (and) Sin and depravity are…illusions since this inner divinity is at man’s core.”  (The Great Lie, Tal Brooke, SCP Journal, Vol. 29:2-29:3, 2005)

The Book of Revelation pinpoints Babylon as the post-flood center both of an organized religion based on the primordial heresy and as the first utopian or heaven on earth project.   Babylon embraced the Great Lie.   Its inhabitants claimed the title, “I AM.”   They were earmarked by their “advaitic monism,” science of magic-transformism, exalted priesthood, gnosis, secret initiations, sorcery, astrology, channeling, psychic-powers, familiar spirits, and hedonism.  But the root source of this evil religion and its occult power was the Great Dragon himself….Lucifer.

God abhors these practices and sternly reminds His people through the prophet Isaiah  (45:18-19) not to be seduced by Babylon’s deadly delusion:

“I AM the Lord, and there is none other. I have not spoken in secret, neither in a place of darkness.”  ”I said not to the seed of Jacob…”  seek me in the monistic ‘one thing’….chaos, the formless void,  Kant’s deified reason,’ Hegel’s Geist, Marx’s dialectical matter, Natural Selection,  the Force, the Overmind, Absolute Spirit, the Christ consciousness or the “thought-universe” of quantum mechanics.

 

 Primordial Heresy as Modern Ideology

“Exalting mankind to the status of deity…dates from the farthest reaches of antiquity, but its development into an ideology embracing the masses is a characteristic of modernity.”   (Herbert Schlossberg, cited in The Seduction of Christianity, Dave Hunt and T.A. McMahon)

Toynbee pinpointed the bloody French Revolution as the first orchestrated reappearance of the primordial heresy, and in tacit agreement with the findings of early Conservative intellectuals, of the entire “nightmare of destruction in which America and other nations participated” from WWI through WWII as further manifestations.  (The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America, George H. Nash, p. 31)

Primordial heresy as modernist ideology takes many forms:

” rationalism, positivism, naturalism, materialism, evolutionism, social Darwinism, Natural Selection, empiricism, Hegelianism, Marxism, scientific socialism, scientism, Secular Humanism, Tran humanism, Freudianism, existentialism, progressivism, liberalism, utopianism, revolutionary activism, fascism, communism, national socialism, determinism, reductionism, nihilism, deconstructionism, moral relativism, antitheism, behaviorism and underlying them all, atheism.”

In his book “Utopia: The Perennial Heresy,” Catholic philosopher and historian Thomas Molnar (1910-2010) notes that the two recurring themes of modern ideologies are monism and evolutionary conceptions. At the root of these two themes there is:

” defiance of God, pride unlimited, a yearning for enormous power and the assumption of divine attributes with a view to manipulating and shaping mankind’s fate.”  (p. 227)

In order for god-men to create a new world and a new man:

“the order of being must be obliterated (and reinterpreted) as essentially under man’s control.”  Taking control “requires the decapitation of being—the murder of God.”  (Eric Voegelin, “Science, Politics and Gnosticism,”  p. xv)

Fundamentally, Darwinism is materialist monism and as the pillar of natural science is the devilish idea by which naturalist god-men have “decapitated God” and seized control of the order of being.

In short, Darwinism is powerful magic wielded by a cult religion’s sorcerers:

“(Darwinism is) nothing but a kind of cult, a cult religion….It has no scientific validity whatsoever.  Darwin’s so-called theory of evolution is based on absurdly irrational propositions, which did not come from scientific observations, but were artificially introduced from the outside, for political-ideological reasons.” (Jonathan Tennenbaum, “Towards ‘A New Science of Life,’ Executive Intelligence Review, Vol. 28, No. 34, Sept. 7, 2001)

Indeed, Daniel Dennett tacitly agrees, for he describes Darwinism as a ‘universal acid.’   In other words,  Darwinism is the “acid bath” in which God the Father and His entire order of being are in process of dissolution, a diabolical conjuration requiring the conceptual dismantling of:

” human individuality through the dissolution of individual conscience and consciousness, and then to replace these with the collectivity (monism) and coalesced consciousness (i.e., the Force, Christ Consciousness).” (Molnar, 227, emphasis added)

“…they seek my soul to destroy it…”  Psalm 63:9

In this light, when Daniel Dennett, the Wizard of Reductionism claims that there really is no you, that soul, spirit and free will are illusions caused by chemical interactions in the brain and Tom Wolfe, Sorcerer of Naturalism waves his magic wand and intones, “Sorry, but your soul just died,” they speak as sorcerers (Acts 13:6-10) conjuring away  man’s  ”individual conscience and consciousness” through words that destroy.   (The Spiritual Brain: A Neuroscientist’s Case for the Existence of the Soul, Beauregard and O’Leary, p. 4)

 

Return of the Primordial Heresy: A Brief Timeline

“The leading principle of Utopian religion is the repudiation of the doctrine of Original Sin.” (H.G. Wells, A Modern Utopia, 1905)

Repudiating Original Sin necessitates the obliteration of the transcendent God and His order of being, a project already underway by the time of Descartes.  In her book “Total Truth,” Nancy Pearcy, a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, writes that one of the great ironies of history is that the enduring impact of Descartes philosophy has been precisely the opposite of what he had intended.  Descartes had intended the defense of the human soul over and against the dehumanizing mechanistic and materialistic conception of the universe.   Instead, the soul—and its citadel mind—was reduced to a shadowy substance totally irrelevant to the material realm known by natural science.  The immortal soul became a kind of ghost only tenuously connected to the physical body.  The novelist Walker Percy speaks of the:

“dread chasm that has rent the soul of Western man ever since the famous philosopher Descartes ripped body loose from mind and turned the very soul into a ghost that haunts its own house.”  (“Total Truth,” Nancy Pearcey, p. 103)

After the success of Newtonian physics natural science began to be viewed as the way  of progress and enlightenment and nature described as a cosmic machine, governed by deterministic energies working through natural laws as strictly as the gears of a clock.  Though soul and spirit are crucial for reason, conscience, morality, belief, faith, prayer, theorizing, science, and religion, there was no room for them in the mindless cosmic machine.

The mechanistic conception gave rise to rationalism, determinism, positivism and scientific materialism (atheism), which grant naturalistic science a monopoly on so-called “real” knowledge while trivializing everything else to personal belief and social constructs.

 

“Evil thoughts…generated evil deeds.”  (George H. Nash, The Conservative Intellectual Movement, p.48)

“Observing the modern intellectual crap, it is time that someone knocked at the door of…Immanuel Kant and told him the fatidic words from that famous Brazilian comic samba—Here, take back your child.”  (The Father of the Crap, Olavo de Carvalho, Mar. 5, 1998, www.olavodecarvalho.org/ )

The German philosopher Immanuel Kant was a pivotal figure in the obliteration of  man’s immortal soul.   Kant desired to cut loose from God, and being morally defective he eagerly embraced the Enlightenment’s mechanistic image of man and the universe.   Thus he took it upon himself to recast mind and freedom as  ”autonomous self” and the material realm as the deterministic Newtonian world machine.  In praise of the cosmic machine he wrote:

“(it is) necessary that everything which takes place should be infallibly determined in accordance with the laws of nature.” (Total Truth, p. 104)

Though Kant saw the need for reason and morality, which presupposes the soul (mind and free will), he nevertheless sought autonomy from God the Father, thus negating the existence of his own soul….and reason.  Undeterred, Kant went on to define self-autonomy as being subject only to laws imposed on himself by himself.  In short, Kant would be sovereign and  influenced by nothing but his own deified reason.  This is a variant of idealist monism that teaches that reality and creative powers exist within man’s mind.   As one theologian commented:

“The creation of universal (moral) law was traditionally the function of God alone, and this function is now arrogated to the individual human rational will.”   Thus it can be said that “Kant has made reason into God.”   (ibid, p. 105)

It is crucial to realize Kant’s dichotomy is outright contradictory.  For if mindless nature really is the deterministic machine of Newtonian physics, then mind (i.e., reason), morality, belief, and science  are not possible in that man is nothing but a puppet dancing to the mindless tunes of mindless nature.  Even Kant admitted that this was a paradox that he was unable to resolve.   The trick, he said, is to enter into a charade.  We will be swindlers who on one hand will publicly pretend to be fully caused and determined by nature while on the other we will quietly participate in a spiritual world where we conceive of ourselves as free moral agents.

According to Kant’s swindle the material realm is the realm of publicly verifiable scientific facts which in our own time are for example, Darwinism, atheism, man as evolved ape, determinism, and moral relativism while the spiritual is the politically-incorrect realm of belief, faith, religion, special creation, God the Father and moral absolutes.  Kant’s swindle is behind the Orwellian-speak or politically-correct cognitive dissonance that has become pandemic in our own day through the efforts of contemporary Kantians: social scientists, evolutionary biologists, Hollywood, media, higher education, jurists, and sorcerers such as Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, and  Richard Dawkins.

Following Kant’s lead, a legion of neo-pagan ideologues openly advocated total integration into mindless nature.    What these malcontents sought was salvation from God the Father, Original Sin, Universal Moral Law, sexual ethics, and their own immortal souls by immersing themselves into the “forces and rhythms of nature.”   Lester Crocker summarizes the Enlightenment premise:

“There existed in the eighteenth century a widespread desire to equate the moral with the physical world….” What was desired  above all was,  “total integration of man in nature, with refusal of any transcendence, even though it was admitted that his more complex physical organization gave him certain special abilities and ways of thinking.  The important thing, as La Mettrie,  d’Holbach,  and others made clear, is that he is submitted to the same laws; everything is response to need—mechanically, some added, like a tree or a machine.  Man merely carries out natural forces—without any freedom  whatsoever—in all he does, whether he loves or hates, helps or hurts, gives life or takes it.”    (Monsters from the Id, E. Michael Jones, p. 5, 7)

In his influential “History of Jacobinism,” Abbe Barruel commented:

“With Voltaire, man is a pure machine; Frederick the Great maintains…”I know that I am an animal organized, and that thinks; hence, I conclude that matter can think, as well as that it has the property of being electric.”    La Mettries’  “man-machine, or his man-plant, only caused the Sect to blush from the open manner in which he had said what many of them wished to insinuate.” (ibid, p. 6, 7)

The Enlightenment was in effect a diabolical effort to  murder God the Father and obliterate His order of being, allowing for reality to be replaced with escapist fantasy:  the cosmic machine and soulless machine-man, fully caused and determined by unseen forces of nature, with Newtonian physics as its guide.

Though Kant and others had speculated on a naturalistic origin of the universe, the picture was not complete until Darwinian materialism replaced God the Father and creation ex nihilo with  a counterfeit: spontaneous generation of mindless matter from nothing.

The roots  of evolution stretch back to the ancient Upanishads of India and to ancient Greece, and in its modern version  evolution describes the progress (transmigration) of a divine spark or energy as it inhabits in succession the bodies of different beings over the course of millions and billions of years.   In the words of Emergent Church leader Rob Bell:

“There is an energy in the world, a spark, an electricity that everything is plugged into. The Greeks called it zoe, the mystics call it ‘Spirit,’ and Obi-Wan called it ‘the Force.’….This energy, spark, and electricity that pulses through all of creation sustains it, fuels it, and keeps it growing. Growing, evolving, reproducing…” (Love Wins, pp. 144-145)

For initiates and adepts however, evolution magically transforms man into god:

“the evolution of man into superman—was always the purpose of the ancient Mysteries, and the real purpose of modern Masonry is not the social and charitable purposes to which so much attention is paid, but the expediting of the spiritual evolution of those who aspire to perfect their own nature and transform it into a more god-like quality.  And this is a definite science, a royal art, which it is possible for each of us to put into practice…” (The Meaning of Masonry, W.L. Wilmhurst, p. 47)

Charles Darwin received the idea of evolution from his grandfather Dr. Erasmus Darwin who was a neo-pagan monist known to attend séances.  As master of the famous Masonic Canongate lodge in Edinburgh he had close ties with both the Jacobin Masons, the organizers of the bloody revolution in France, and with the infamous Illuminati, whose diabolical cause was overthrow of  the  Church and destruction of Christendom.  Thus Erasmus Darwin was an important name in European Masonic anti-religious organizations engaged in revolutionary activism.  Erasmus Darwin mentored his grandson Charles:

“Dr. Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802) was the first man in England to suggest those ideas which were later to be embodied in the Darwinian theory by his grandson, Charles Darwin (1809-1882) who wrote in 1859 Origin of Species.” (Scarlet and the Beast, Vol. II, John Daniel, p. 34)

Pope Leo XIII issued a famous bull in 1884 entitled Humanum Genus in which he discussed the evil undertakings of the Free Masons and the Illuminati:

“…the partisans of evil seems to be combining together, and to be struggling with united vehemence, led on or assisted by that strongly organized and widespread association called the Freemasons.  No longer making any secret of their purposes, they are now boldly rising up against God Himself.”  They intend nothing less than “the utter overthrow of that whole religious and political order of the world which the Christian teaching has produced, and the substitution of a new state of things in accordance with their ideas (that) shall be drawn from mere naturalism.”  (Humanum Genus, Encyclical on Freemasonry)

 

Neo-Pagan God-men Remake Mankind as Apes

“Instead of Adam, our ancestry is traced to the most grotesque of creatures; thought is phosphorous; the soul complex nerves, and our moral sense a secretion of sugar.”  (Disraeli, quoted by John Passmore “A Hundred Years of Philosophy,” p. 36)

With the triumph of natural science and Darwinism in the nineteenth century, the murder of God and the obliteration of His order was cast in the cement of “enlightened” pseudo-science.   Westerners would be cut off from God the Father and their own souls, thereby disrupting:

“the bio-psycho-spiritual unity of human consciousness….” (Authenticating the Activities of Jesus, Bruce Chilton and Craig A. Evans, 1999)

The modern secular “scientistic” West has almost succeeded in obliterating the souls of its’ citizens and now seeks obliteration of the two sexes:

“Little Johnny went to school; There to learn a brand new rule; No longer could the boys be boys Or have their special trucks and toys; Only six, so young and tender, It’s time for him to unlearn gender.”  (Here At School the Slant is Gay, cited in Our Gay Pride President, David A. Noebel, http://www.worldviewweekend.com/worldview-times/article.php?articleid=7292 )

 

Primordial Heresy as Natural Religion of Science

The Christian Truth which had been undermined and displaced by primordial heresy developed as ideology and natural religion was no mere philosophical truth but the Truth of Life and salvation. Once there began to:

“gain ground, among the multitudes who have been nourished by that Truth, the conviction that it is no longer credible, the result will be…a spiritual catastrophe of enormous dimensions.”  (Nihilism: The Root of the Revolution of the Modern Age, Eugene Rose, pp. 44-45)

The climate of naturalist scientism established by eighteenth-century rationalists was extended by nineteenth-century positivists and evangelists of the idea of collective progress (monism), giving birth to the first natural religion of science: scientific socialism and/or Marxist Communism.

Fyodor Dostoevsky  had a bitter foretaste of the demonically malignant effects of  scientific socialism, “a spiritual catastrophe of enormous dimensions.”  This evil religion, said Dostoevsky:

“….is that terrible scourge of mankind, a scourge worse than plague, famine and war, an evil that didn’t exist until this century… one that has its own priests and slaves; a tyrant that is worshipped with unprecedented awe and adulation before which science itself fawns and cringes.”  (The Restitution of Man: C.S. Lewis and the Case Against Scientism, Michael D. Aeschliman, p. 37)

Toward the close of the nineteenth century thinkers like Nietzsche foresaw the spiritual catastrophe that would eventuate in the genocidal “nightmare of destruction in which America and other nations participated” from WWI through WWII.

 

Rev. 18:3  The West….drunk on the Primordial Heresy of Babylon

Today the Christian West is dead,  leaving it with no moral defense against either jihadist fanatics and the imposition of Sharia on one hand or the approach of the satanic New Age  on the other.

The contemporary West is drunk on the primordial heresy of Babylon. As progressive Christian Liberalism, it is the carrier of the devilish occult spiritual virus into the embattled Body of the Church where it acts to divide Christians against themselves.  Peter Jones, author of “Spirit Wars: Pagan Revival in Christian America” connects progressive Christian Liberalism to ancient devilish Gnosticism, saying they are kindred-spirits.

As  the natural religion of America’s bipartisan (left-right) Ruling Class, it leads them to pray:

“to themselves as saviors of the planet and as shapers of mankind in their own image.” (The Ruling Class, Angelo M. Codevilla, p. xix)

The Primordial Heresy is at the root of the ‘scientific’ religion of  New Age Transnational Progressives, the Masters of the Universe, who with their Transcended Spirit Masters, aspire to complete control of the world and every man, woman, and child.  Lee Penn notes that evolution is absolutely central to New Age theology, a syncretistic, monistic stew of Liberal Christianity, Theosophy, Spiritism, the Ancient Mysteries, Buddhism, Wicca, Goddess worship, and adulation of Lucifer.  In the newest version of that “terrible scourge of mankind, a scourge worse than plague, famine and war,”  New Age god-men  envision a spiritualized version of Marxist Communism that includes:

1. Praise for Lucifer

2. Progressive adepts as gods

3. Advocacy for global depopulation

4.Utter contempt for authentic Roman Catholics, Protestant Christians, and faithful Jews

5. Forecasting a pending (and for them, desirable) “selection” of mankind, in which the progressives enter the New Age and the reactionaries face extinction. For the New Age Apostles of “progressive” Social Darwinism, these casualties are a necessary price to pay for human evolution.”  (False Dawn: The United Religions Initiative, Globalism, and the Quest for a One-World Religion, Lee Penn, pp. 5,7, 23-26)

The West’s suicide looms in tandem with a rising spiritual catastrophe as the demonic in modern ideological movements penetrates ever deeper into the souls of Westerners, materializing and disordering them.   On a daily basis, evolutionist ideologues  and other secular naturalists in control of media, institutions of learning, Hollywood, law, and politics reinforce the demonic closing of souls to God the Father.  Thus every day witnesses the spread of barbarism as more and more Westerners become “independent and a law” unto themselves.

 

“One Ring to rule them all…One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.” J.R.R. Tolkien

Though all of the ideologies have gone into the casting of the One Ring, none are so mesmerizing nor powerfully attractive as evolution, the Primordial Heresy as the royal science of becoming God.

The Original Lie: Basis for America’s Ruling Class

Rise of the Modern Moloch State

Our war is against God and the world created by Him, declared Karl Marx, father of the Communist Manifesto.  In his poem, “The Pale Maiden” he admits that he has willfully opted for Hell:

“Thus heaven I’ve forfeited; I know it full well; My soul, once true to God; Is chosen for hell.”   (Marx & Satan, Richard Wurmbrand, p. 22)

“The Evil One is the satanic revolt against divine authority….Socialists recognize each other by the words, “In the name of the one to whom a great wrong has been done….Satan (is) the eternal rebel, the first freethinker and the emancipator of worlds.”  (Mikhail Bakunin, comrade of Marx, ibid, p. 27)

“We do not fight against believers (or) even clergymen….We fight against God to snatch believers from Him.”  (Vetchernaia Moskva, a Communist newspaper, ibid, p.77)

The Satanic revolt, like orthodox Christian faith is a movement of spirit having its taproot and energy in Satan, the father of lies and envy, the author of rebellion, and the revelator of secrets.

Satanic revolt is war against the Trinity…the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, which in Bakunin’s words are the “cursed and fatal principle of authority.”   Thus it proclaims the reign of nothingness, though a nothingness nevertheless pregnant with the expectation of fulfillment in the revelation, and finally the actual presence, of evil personified….the dark Lord of this world.

The sentiment of the revolt is Satanic pride:

” which spurns subjection to any master whatever, whether of divine or human origin.”  (Bakunin, Nihilism: The Root of the Revolution of the Modern Age, Fr. Seraphim Rose, p. 63)

The nature of the Satanic revolt is the antithesis of the Christian faith.  Whereas Christian faith is joy, patience, love, truth, humbleness, perseverance, submission in all things to the Will of God, and blessed eternal life, the Satanic counterfeit is full of skepticism, lies, sophistry, revulsion, burning envy, impatience, seething hatred, jealousy, rebelliousness, blasphemy, and eternal life in Hell.

Fueled by dissatisfaction with self, the world, society, and God,  it devotes its’ infernal energy toward “hope and change,” or as Marx put it, toward the destruction of everything that exists.

The Satanic revolt intends both the destruction of the Christian-based Old Order and the establishment of something new, because:

“The idea of God is the keynote of a perverted civilization.  It must be destroyed.”  (Karl Marx, Marx and Satan, p. 59)

In the religious order it intends to fully possess the Christian faith and refashion it completely.  The Satanic revolt will not stop until every vestige of faith in God has been obliterated in every heart.  Every man, woman, and child will experience a counter-conversion…a Satanic Initiation in the words of New Age insider David Spangler… to a new faith, an anti-gospel preached by anti-saints from the void.

The Satanic revolt seduces in the name of fairness, equality, liberty, free love, and peace.   It appeals to pride, licentiousness, and resentment and justifies itself  in the name of progress, evolution, and science.  But what do these terms really mean?   The respected traditionalist metaphysician Rene Guenon (1886-1951) reveals the answer in his brilliant critical analysis of Theosophy and Spiritism entitled, “The Spiritist Fallacy.”

Progress and Evolution

Guenon writes that in early Theosophist and spiritist (mediums/channelers) circles use of the word ‘progress’ or ‘progressivist’ preceded the use of the word ‘evolution.’  The roots of Theosophy, hence of evolution, stretch back to the ancient Upanishads of India and to ancient Greece, and in its modern version, progress and/or evolution describes the progress (transmigration) of soul as it inhabits in succession the bodies of different beings over the course of thousands  or even  millions and billions of years.

Eventually the word evolution became preferred, especially by empirical realists and materialists like Karl Marx because it had a more ‘scientific’ allure:

“This kind of  ‘verbalism’…provides the illusion of thought for those incapable of really thinking…”  wrote Guenon. (ibid, p. 231)

Unconscious Satanism

Guenon defines progress, progressivism, and evolution as satanic and adherents as unconscious Satanists because for the most part their hubris and ignorance blind them to the extreme dangers of the “infernal fire” they play with:

“..every theory that notably disfigures the Divinity should in some measure be regarded as satanic; and conceptions of a limited God and of a God who evolves should here be placed in the front rank….” Thus “evolutionism” in general and Modernist “conceptions” in particular are satanic.  The ‘immanentist’ Christ-force of the Liberal Church is satanic because it “openly submits the Divinity to becoming.”   (ibid, p. 257)

Possessing the Body of the Church for Satan

“The coming struggle will emerge within the churches themselves; it will be precipitated by the enlightened (progressive) elements…the fight will then spread to thinking men and women everywhere who—in a protesting revolt—have denied orthodox churchianity and theology.” (Spirit Master Djwhal Khul speaking through Alice Bailey, Externalization of the Hierarchy, pp. 453-454)

By the turn of the century,  the beginnings of a  counter-initiatic hierarchy of “enlightened progressive ” elements had arisen and the “abomination of desolation” crept into the Church.

Pope Pius X noted with alarm that progressive “thinking” was taking hold of the contemporary mind, and in that way taking possession of Western civilization, including Catholic laity and priests.   The Pope defined progressivism as “Modernism” and in 1907 declared it a heresy in the encyclical called ‘Pascendi Dominici Gregis.” (“The Heresy of Modernism…seriously,” Churchmouse Campanologist, May 26, 2009)

The Satanic Revolt as Modernist Heresy

“…the inventors of impure heresies (the) profaners and apostates…have opened their mouths wide against the divine glory.”  ...Church Father Cyril of Alexandria

The Pope noted that  Modernist “Christian” heretics were claiming that Christ is in us (pantheist monism) and that through evolution an immanentist Christ-force progressed and/or “emanated from nature spontaneously and of itself.”  (The Heresy of Modernism…seriously)

Since evolution implies continuous change, becoming, and/or progress, “Christian” heretics claim that immutable (unchanging) truths do not exist, therefore there is nothing immutable in the Bible or the Church….or for that matter in Americas’ Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Bill of Rights and Rule of Law.   All are subject to change, for in that satanic monism conceptually dissolves the living, transcendent Christ  into nature, everything becomes imaginatively infused with impersonal divine spirit, power, intent, determinism (fate), and  motion.  Thus claim heretics, religion itself lives and evolves, and “must in fact be changed.”

“Christian” change-agents further claim that all religions and belief systems are true because the satanic divine-force suffuses and energizes all things.  By extension of this perverse reasoning, Gaia is alive, and Gnosticism, Satanism, Wicca, Theosophy, and Sharia are true.  This is syncretism (moral relativism), the uniting of good and evil, truth and lie, the holy and the unholy.  R.J. Rushdoony writes:

“Now syncretism is destructive of the human mind, of rationality…(A) man who wants to unite good and evil…has lost the capacity for clear thinking.  His mind is darkened, clouded, fuzzed over, and incompetent….Man, by presuming to be god, has by that act destroyed the possibility of true thinking; from so radically false a premise, no valid conclusion can follow.”  (“Why Is Rick Warren Waffling?” Lee Duigon, Chalcedon)

Seventy-one years after the Pope issued his encyclical, eminent Catholic theologian Malachi Martin observed that Modernist heresy has significantly diminished belief among Christian churchman as a whole, including prominently:

“…the Roman Catholic hierarchy and clergy (who have) relegated the very existence of Satan to the same fate as basic Roman Catholic and Christian teaching…It has been said by one mainstream Protestant clergyman in this regard that—disagreement with the Roman Catholic Church notwithstanding—the Catholic Church was always the anchor.  With that anchor lost, all flounder.”   (Hostage to the Devil: The Possession and Exorcism of Five Contemporary Americans, Martin, p. xv)

Satanic Revolt: America’s Theological Crisis

Peter Jones, author of “Spirit Wars: Pagan Revival in Christian America” connects progressive Christian Liberalism to ancient devilish Gnosticism, saying they are kindred-spirits. He points to  progressive Liberalism as the carrier of the occult spiritual virus (satanic revolt) into the Body of the Church where it acts to divide Christians against each other.

In her Washington Times article, “Beware: Hell Exists, There’s No Christianity without Sin, Death, and the Resurrection,” Janice Crouse addresses America’s growing theological crisis, noting that the Evangelical Church has become divided against itself. Citing “Evangelicals Divided,” in the April edition of First Things, she writes:

“First Things warns, “If evangelical theology…does not exercise the kind of intellectual humility required by Traditionalism, it will not survive…it will risk disintegrating into ever more subjectivist and individualistic sects, many of them neither evangelical nor orthodox.”

Albert Mohler, President of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary addresses this crisis in his book, “The Disappearance of God.” There is a growing chasm, notes Mohler. On one side are the traditionalists and on the other, the self-autonomous contemporary church, which defines itself over and against Traditionalism, or authentic Christianity.

Authentic Christianity is very narrowly defined.  Mohler writes that all Christians across a vast denominational range who hold fast to the fundamental doctrines are Authentic Christians while all who do not are not by definition Christian.  Fundamental doctrines are:

” The Trinity (including full deity and humanity of Jesus Christ); the authenticity of Scripture  (the Revealed Word of God); the Incarnation (death, burial, resurrection); justification by faith;
sin (humanities willful revolt against God the Father); the traditional doctrine of Hell, and the absolute sovereignty of God the Father.” (Psalm 1)

The contemporary church is strongly attracted to the modern kind of Christianity proposed by the Emerging Church, whose leaders include Brian McLaren, Rick Warren, and Rob Bell. However, the spirit of Modernist heresy energizes the Emergent Church, and in that the contemporary mind embraces its’ pseudo-theology  it is therefore uncomfortable with fundamental doctrine, said Mohler. It prefers “change” “progress”  ”novelty” “tolerance” “inclusion” and “feelings,” especially whatever “feels good.”  It rejects discipline and wants humanistic feel-good messages and diversionary entertainment rather than expository sermons and sound teaching.  Since its’ deity is a dead-god of  “all-inclusive love” it never speaks of wrath and judgment,  hence hell, sin, and repentance are not just unwelcome, but are in fact “intolerable” to the self-autonomous contemporary mind, noted Mohler.

The pseudo-theology of the Emergent Church already has much in common with New Age spirituality:  http://carm.org/new-age-more/   This means that the Emergent Church is falling into the New Age with the contemporary church stumbling along in its’ wake.

Lucifers’ Coming New World Order

The Satanic Revolt has finally brought forth a legion of anti-saints, a fully-commissioned “counter-initiatic hierarchy” to usher in a New World Order.  Rene Guenon describes the hierarchy as:

“the inverse of the true saints, thus manifesting the most complete expression possible of inverted spirituality.”  (False Dawn: The United Religions Initiative, Globalism, and the Quest for a One-World Religion, Lee Penn, p. 437)

These forces have invented a pseudo- religion, http://one-faith-of-god.org/default.asp  and the Charter for America’s Union, http://americas-union.org/  The bigger picture includes six such unions, http://heal-the-earth.org/unions.asp   Major planetary forces can be seen here: http://heal-the-earth.org/ngos.asp

Lee Penn calls our attention to the United Religions Initiative. Wittingly or perhaps unwittingly the URI is the leading edge of the One-Faith-Of-God initiative.  The URI  is to a significant extent animated by  New Age satanic-spirituality.  Penn notes that evolution is absolutely central to New Age theology which is a syncretistic stew of Liberal Christianity, Theosophy, Spiritism, the Ancient Mysteries, Wicca, Goddess worship, and adulation of Lucifer.

The URI has attracted a disparate group of activists and powerful supporters. For example, the Dalai Lama, progressive churchmen from the People’s Republic of China, pro-gay Episcopalians, radical Muslims, feminist witches, rich capitalist foundations, the Club of Rome, the Temple of Understanding and the Lucis Trust, formerly called Lucifer Publishing.   Prominent supporters of the URI and globalism include occultist Robert Muller (former UN assistant secretary general),  Neale Donald Walsh, George Soros, Mikhail Gorbachev, Maurice Strong, Ted Turner, and Barbara Marx Hubbard.   (pp.5,7, 23-26)

New Age spirituality relies heavily on the spirit revelations channeled through Helena Blavatsky, Alice Bailey, Muller, Marx Hubbard, and Neale Donald Walsh.  Penn notes that all together they form a comprehensive anti-Gospel setting forth a progressive vision of spiritualized totalitarianism that includes:

1. Praise for Lucifer as the light-bearer and giver of  wisdom.

2. Proclaiming that we humans are gods and that death is not real

3. Advocacy for extreme population control, including eugenics and euthanasia

4. Utter contempt for traditional religions—with concentrated scorn directed at Judaism, evangelical Protestantism, and Roman Catholicism

5. Forecasting a pending (and for them, desirable) “selection” of mankind, in which the progressives enter the New Age and the reactionaries face extinction.  For the New Age Apostles of “progressive” Social Darwinism, these casualties are a necessary price to pay for human evolution.” (ibid, p. 7)

Speaking through Hubbard, her spirit guide “Christ” prophesied in 1995 that the Rider of the Pale Horse will use the “sword” as one of his means to “kill those who choose to remain self-centered.” (ibid, p. 322)

Revelations from the gods of this world

Speaking through Alice Bailey, Djwhal Khul predicted back in the 1940s that the spiritual hierarchy would:

“bring to an end the long silence which has persisted since Atlantean days,” and “renew an ancient sharing of secrets.“  Thus “in the immediate future,” the spirit “Masters will walk openly among men…openly guiding and directing the affairs of humanity.” (False Dawn, p. 262)

From the spirit-channeled revelations called Course in Miracles taught by New Age High Priestess Oprah Winfrey to the spirit-revelations of Neale Donald Walsh, spirits going by a variety of names are indeed speaking and “sharing secrets”….in local bookstores and right on TV.  And what of Khul’s prediction that Masters will openly guide the affairs of humanity?   The plan is already in place:

“Masters will walk openly among men….”

From the Royal Society (the national academy of science in the UK)  and NASA, to the European Space Agency, the UN office for Outer Space Affairs, and to the Vatican’s progressive astronomers, excited discussions abound, all centered upon the existence of highly evolved Space Brothers (aliens) and their anticipated arrival here on earth.  Lord Martin Rees, President of the Royal Society announced that aliens may be “staring us in the face” in a form unrecognizable to humans.  (Official Disclosure: Prepare for Contact, Donna Anderson, http://www.officialdisclosure.com/)

Longtime ET-believing UFO researchers however, are no longer excited but alarmed.   Their research shows that modern alien abductions resemble ancient stories of demons.  The similarity was not lost on UFO research-scientist John Keel:

“Demonology is not just another crackpot-ology.  It is the ancient and scholarly study of the monsters and demons who have…coexisted with man throughout history….The manifestations and occurrences described in this imposing literature are similar, if not..identical, to the UFO phenomenon.  Victims of demonomania (possession) suffer the very same medical and emotional symptoms as the UFO contactees…”  (Alien Intrusion: UFOs and the Evolution Connection, Gary Bates, p. 260)

The Ruler of this World and His Inverted Spirituality

Where there is no God there is no truth, and the rebellious will reigns instead.  But “the will” said Dostoevsky with his acute insight into the revolutionary mentality, “is the closest to nothing; the most assertive are closest to the most nihilistic.”

Having murdered somewhere between 100,000,000-250,000,000 men, women and children, the  satanic Communist and National Socialist regimes of the 20th century provided a foretaste of the planetary horrors waiting to be unleashed during the coming New Age, while the widespread rebelliousness, disorder, near universal corruption, and nihilistic barbarianism of the present day are further portents.

Though its’ terrible work is far from finished, the Satanic revolt to “destroy everything that exists” has at long last given birth to a post-Christian West and to the most complete expression of inverted spirituality, the Supreme Bible of God:  http://one-faith-of-god.org/final_testament/bible_of_god.htm

Chapter 1, the Almanac of Evil is a lengthy criminal indictment levied against the Roman Catholic Church, Popes, St. Irenaeus, and St. Paul, St. Luke, and the other Apostles.  The crime of the Apostles?  Setting up a criminal enterprise called Christianity: http://one-faith-of-god.org/final_testament/end_of_darkness/evil/evil_0010.htm

All people will worship the one-god. But who or what is it?

Speaking through Bailey Djwhal Khul identified “the Ancient of Days” and the “Lord of the World, the One Initiator” as a spirit named Sanat Kumara.  Kumara is one of  “the mind-born Sons” of Siva.  Venus, the planet from which Kumara came  “…is Lucifer, the morning star.”

Blavatsky noted that Christians call Kumara a fallen angel.  Therefore Christians may correctly conclude that the New Age lord is the Devil, the hostile power that Christ called “the ruler of this world.” (John 14:30)  It is in Chapter 4, the Encyclical of God that Satan:

” himself is raised up to the power of a Great Spirit of One Heaven and a protector of the final covenant.” http://one-faith-of-god.org/final_testament/end_of_darkness/encyclical/encyclical_0040.htm

Behind the progressive One-God is Satan.   He is Yaldabaoth, mother and father, genetic creator of man, first free thinker, Cybele, Moloch, the dread lord lifted up as the One-God.   The Devil is the one by which :

“Socialists recognize each other by the words, “In the name of the one to whom a great wrong has been done….Satan (is) the eternal rebel, the first freethinker and the emancipator of worlds.” 

All who hope to enter the New Age will have to receive his mark and be infernally sealed  for all eternity.

Something Evil This Way Comes

“…the very idea of tradition has been destroyed to such an extent that those who seek to recover it no longer know which way to turn, and are only too ready to accept all the false ideas presented to them in its place and under its name.”  (Rene Guenon, False Dawn, p. 436)

Something is happening and about to happen:

“People no longer know what they have lost, much less that they themselves are lost….The landscape is changing, the skies are darkening—and this is something we know with a… spiritual sense, a spiritual urgency.” (Albert Mohler, The Disappearance of God, p. 158)

A vast dark wing covers the West.  Within its’ shadow  America implodes as the Church fractures and splinters apart.  A vigorous shaking and threshing is going on.  Something is happening that “we as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ should see and understand,” warns Mohler.  “For we cannot say that we were not warned.” (Joel 2:30-32)

Linda writes on worldview and related issues.

Taranto goes on to report that a sympathetic mainstream media suppresses and/or whitewashes the former type of fantasy while treating the latter as if it reflects reality. (The Politics of Bloodlust, The Wall Street Journal, Jan. 27, 2011)

There are five things we must understand about the West’s Progressive Liberal “elite” if we are to make sense of their obvious imbecility, depravity and evil fantasies:
First, they are malignant narcissists who worship themselves as gods. As gods they deny their own proclivity for evil. The delusional self-conception they hold of themselves is of faultlessness and/or moral purity as befits gods. In short, Progressive “elites” are haters of God the Father. They are:
“…lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient…ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God…” 2 Tim. 3:2

Second, God the Father Almighty is dead in their hearts….as dead as their love of truth… and as dead as their individual consciences, or nearly so. When these materialized souls speak of a god, it is a dead god—a god of forces. And when they profess themselves to be speakers of truth they lie, for their words have no fixed meaning.

Third, progressivism is neo-pagan monism. Monism is held in common by materialism, pantheism, and spiritualism and dates back to pagan antiquity and was or is taught by all non-biblical thought systems from Buddhism to Epicureanism, Gnosticism and today’s New Age Cosmic Humanism.

Monism teaches that all that exists is “one self-creating, self-sufficient substance” which may be impersonal, unknowing divine spirit or Christ-consciousness (pantheism) or spiritless substance (materialism). Within this framework, all things are merely diverse parts of the one-substance.

Monism’s greatest appeal lies in the fact that it conceptually erases the vast fixed-gulf between the supernatural God the Father Almighty and the natural dimension and man. In other words, Monism imaginatively dissolves the supernatural personal Creator into the natural dimension, thereby bringing heaven to earth and allowing man to divinize himself. Rousas Rushdoony explains:

“… much… is known of the concept of divine kingship, the king as god, and the god as king, as the divine-human link between heaven and earth. The god-king represented man on a higher (evolved, naturally selected) scale, man ascended, and the worship of such a god….was the assertion of the continuity of heaven and earth. It was the belief that all being was one being (materialist-pantheist monism), and the god therefore was an ascended man on that scale of being. The power manifested in the political order was thus a manifestation or apprehension and seizure of divine power (through the conceptual murder of God). It represented the triumph of a man (i.e., Hegel, Marx, Darwin, Freud, Lenin and Hitler) and of his people (i.e., Bolsheviks, Marxists, National Socialists).” (Rise of the Modern Moloch State—Global Spiritual Communism, emphasis added)

Fourth, Progressive “elites” are envy-bitten hypocrites who project their own wickedness onto others, that is, onto scapegoats who they daily crucify…psychologically abuse. The abuse takes many forms:

Character assassination, baseless charges of hate, bigotry, fascism, and insanity. Malignant backbiting, merciless ridicule, and malicious accusations aimed at producing a false sense of guilt that can be manipulated for the empowerment of the envious.

These and other evil tactics have been systematized by the evil as mind-control, brainwashing techniques, and psycho politics and utilized today to manipulate unsuspecting Americans.

Fifth, Progressive “elites” are nihilists. Their souls are materialized (turned inward), thus they are prisoners of their own cosmically-inflated egos, out-of-control envy, lusts, perversions, greed, gluttony, and wrath as well as of afflictions of the mind—paranoia, fear of the void, anxiety dreams, evil fantasies, and peculiar ideas.
Believing in nothing higher than “self,” they therefore know only envy, greed, hatred, vengeance, and violence. Their consciences are depraved and their reason has degenerated into sophistry. They are revolutionaries of the void.

The Evil as Gods
“Pride is the beginning of all sin…for it was (pride) that overthrew the devil, from whom arose the origin of sin, and who, through…envy, overturned (man)…For the serpent, seeking a way to enter…sought the door of pride, when he declared, “You shall be as gods.” That is why it is written, “Pride is the beginning of all sin,” and “The beginning of the pride of man is to fall away from God.” (“On Nature and Grace 29:33,” Augustine)

While most Americans pray to God the Father Almighty Who created all men in His spiritual image, Americas’ Progressive god-men:
“…prays to themselves as saviors of the planet and as shapers of mankind in their own image,” observes Angelo M. Codevilla in his insightful essay, “The Ruling Class: How They Corrupted America and What We Can Do About It.” (p. xix)

As gods, the hypocritical Ruling Class naturally think Americans are completely unfit to run their own lives, yet morality and common sense are anathema to them. Calling our attention to the amorality and hypocrisy of the Ruling Class, Codevilla notes that since any:
“standard of right and wrong (is) beyond the Ruling Class’….self-conception, its greatest concern has been to denigrate the American people’s devotion to God, because the Ruling Class accepts no standard it cannot control.” (ibid, p. xx)

To preserve its’ delusional self-conception as gods, the Ruling Class stealthily replaced God the Father with Darwinism (materialist monism), the Bible with scientism, orthodox priests with pseudo- priests of science such as the babbling sophist Richard Dawkins, and the First Commandment with “Thou shall worship no other God but the Ruling Class.”

The Evil as Sophists
Though the evil view themselves as faultless, in reality their conscience is depraved, and a depraved conscience is the most destructive force in political, social, economic, and cultural life. This is because though the intellect remains intact, reason is warped and peculiarly inverted, thus useless for pursuit of the good, the just and the true. In short, guided by a depraved conscience, reason is used in pursuit of the preservation of self-image at any cost. This is sophistry.

In a penetrating analysis of sophistry, J. Budziszewski observes that the sophists’ view of reality is paradoxical because it ultimately denies reality. Sophists are shock troopers of evil says Budziszewski, and according to their satanically-inverted view of reality:
“Man is the measure of all things, but man has no fixed nature. Man measures all things by his words, but words have no fixed meanings. Language is not an instrument for finding truth, but for changing it. Those who can master it, master all. It is a good creed for rogues, and commends itself to tyrants in every age.” (What We Can’t Not Know, Budziszewski, p. 167)

Evil Sophistry as Religion
Sophistry is the religion of the depraved Ruling Class. Sophistry says autonomous man is a free-thinker, thus the maker of his own truth and morality even though sophistry denies the reality of both truth and morality. It says depraved man can unmake and then remake himself. Thus man is free to divinize himself as in days of old. Males can be females and females can now be males, or they can be androgynous, that is, transgender.

Sophistry’s’ favorite Scripture is “judge not.” The only judgment is the judgment against moral judgment. The only sin is the idea that sin exists. The only truth is the idea that truth does not exist. Evil is the idea that evil exists. The greatest evil of all however, is to dissent against the Ruling Class.

Sophists are braggarts who love to boast of their reason, yet reason is actually escape from reason. By way of unreason, brazenly arrogant sophists claim that God is dead and evolutionary theory is absolutely true, but sophistry says that words have no fixed meaning. There is no truth in sophistry. Therefore, God is not dead but rather evolutionary theory is, for as it must begin with the spontaneous generation of something from nothing, then Darwinism is also nothing. This means that Godless evolutionary theory is as meaningless as spontaneous generation and the much-vaunted reason of sophists.

Sophistry is all the rage in contemporary America, even though it prefers longer, more intellectual sounding names to dupe the gullible. Thus for example, it calls itself postmodernism, epistemological relativism, antifoundationalism, pragmatism, situational ethics, sensitivity training, pluralism, multiculturalism, interfaith, evolutionary humanism, transhumanism, positivism, rationalism, and progressivism.

The Evil , Envy, and Scapegoating
“(Envy) aims, at least in terms of one’s wishes, at destroying others’ good fortune.” (German philosopher Immanuel Kant, cited in “Truths About Socialism,” Coral Ridge Ministries, p.65)

“(Envy is) the great leveler…it is a destroyer—rather than have anyone happier than itself, it will see us all miserable together.” (Dorothy Sayers, ibid, p. 66)

“(Envy is one of the) ‘cold-blooded’ deadly sins….the cruelest of all.’ ‘When I say that Marxism is based on envy, I mean that the glorious revolution of the proletariat…was really a promise to put a final end to all conditions that make for envy.” (Joseph Epstein, former editor of The American Scholar, ibid. p. 66)

The envious always scapegoat the object of their envy, and scapegoating is a predominant characteristic of the evil, says M. Scott Peck in his book, “The People of the Lie.” This is because the evil need victims to sacrifice to their malignant narcissism, which in turn allows them to ignore the humanity of their victims as well. In contemporary America, the chief scapegoats are for example, the Tea Party, orthodox Christians and faithful Jews, Sarah Palin, straight white males, the middle class, and the America of the founding generation, which the Progressive “elite” in company with Islamists, view as an empire of evil.

One facet of evil writes Peck:
“…..is the use of power to destroy the spiritual growth of others for the purpose of defending and preserving the integrity of our own sick selves. In short, it is scapegoating (the evil) sacrifice others to preserve their self-image of perfection.” (pp. 73, 119)

As evil is a parasite on good, then collectively speaking, the Ruling Class is an evil-parasite living off of and cannibalizing the good who are in Codevillas’ words, the Country Class. In the main, the Country Class are, ” Americans (who) pray to the personal Creator who created all men in His spiritual image.”

In order to destroy the vertical spiritual growth of its’ victims, the envious teach children to accept Darwinism because it conceptually erases the image of God from them while simultaneously reducing them to soulless bodies. In this way, their spiritual growth…and salvation.. are aborted.

Another means to the same end is through demoralizing and perverting Americas’ youth by way of sex-education, an evil tactic brought into America by the malignant Frankfurt School at the invitation of John Dewey, father of progressive education aka the dumbing-down of Americans.

For adults in the workforce and military there is sensitivity training. Its’ purpose says Budziszewski is to desensitize us to abomination. Through sensitivity training we are,
“touched by abomination. But nothing happened. We were touched again. Again nothing happened. By the five-hundredth touch, we stopped flinching (for we had become) the sort of people who endured the abominable touch.” (What We Can’t Not Know, p. 173)

Murder by Envy
In the long bloody history of scapegoating, the first stage of the assault has always been psychological, or murder of spirit. With acquisition of total power, as when Marxist Communists seized control of Russia, the last stage is always physical murder. Scapegoats are physically crucified in a bid to “put a final end to all conditions that make for envy.” Marxist Communists physically crucified 60,000,000 men, women, and children.

Ominously, the evil here in the West have already managed to pass hate crime laws against their scapegoated victims.

The Evil as Liars
” (A) reaction that the evil frequently engender in us is confusion. Describing an encounter with an evil person, one woman wrote, it was ‘as if I’d suddenly lost my ability to think’….This reaction is quite appropriate,” observes M. Scott Peck. “Lies confuse. The evil are ‘the people of the lie,’ deceiving others as they also build layer upon layer of self-deception….one of the characteristics of evil is its desire to confuse.” (People of the Lie, p. 179)

In contemporary America, the evil have a virtual choke-hold on the levers of power and influence within academia, certain corporations, the media, entertainment, arts, music, Hollywood, the Supreme Court, lower courts, seminaries, and Congress, for example.

The Ruling Class are scientists, professors, politicians, jurists, journalists, screen writers, musicians, and church leaders. As a result, confusion, apostasy, anger, finger-pointing, demonization of scapegoats, lawlessness, hedonism, apologetics for evil, and a growing bloodlust now describe post-Christian American society.

Evils’ Pretense of Love
Though the evil intensely desire to appear good, their goodness is mere pretense. This too is why they are “the people of the lie,” says M. Scott Peck. The evil are masters of disguise, and because they are it is:

“….seldom possible to pinpoint the maliciousness of evil. The disguise is usually impenetrable. …Naturally since it is chosen to hide its opposite, the pretense chosen by the evil is most commonly the pretense of love.” (ibid, pp. 74, 104, 106)

The Ruling Class’ pretense of love finds expression in a variety of ways, such as concern for trees, spotted owls, and wolves. There’s pseudo-compassion for the civil rights of terrorists, imposers of Sharia, misunderstood cop-killers, pedophiles, pederasts and home-invaders. There are crocodile tears for mass-murderers, social security for illegal’s, and the right of perverts to pervert our children. All of this pseudo-love always comes at the expense of decent, law-abiding Americans and is in fact an exercise of coercive political power fueled by envy and utter contempt.

On behalf of social justice, peace, and brotherhood, the evil hold out the promise that communism and/or socialism is the great shining hope of man, the promised land….a heaven on earth. Yet in a brief moment of truth, the father of the communist manifesto—the Big Liar Karl Marx– confessed:

“Words I teach all mixed up into a devilish muddle. Thus, anyone may think just what he chooses to think.” (Karl Marx in his poem “On Hegel,” cited in “Marx & Satan,” Richard Wurmbrand, p. 21)
Communism is the apotheosis of God-haters translated into enticing economic and political terms.

Evil is Lust for Power
“(Evil is)…the imposition of one’s will upon others by overt or covert coercion….in order to avoid…spiritual growth…Because their willfulness is so extraordinary—and always accompanied by a lust for power—I suspect the evil are more likely than most to politically aggrandize themselves…There is a remarkable power in the manner in which they attempt to control others.” (People of the Lie, p. 78)

When the U.S. Supreme Court declared that,

“At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of life,” it was both imposing its’ depraved will on the American people and expressing the sophist charter, notes Budziszewski. (What We Can’t Not Know, p. 168)
In other words, the U.S. Supreme Court in effect legalized the Original Lie.

The Evil Hate the Light
To a greater or lesser degree, all mentally healthy people submit their will to the demands of their own conscience. They seek what is true, real, and good rather than what they wish was true. Not so the evil. The evil absolutely refuse to submit their will to the demands of their own conscience. They choose instead to live in a dark fantasy world where terrible-willed “self” reigns supreme, hence they hate the Light of Truth:

“The evil hate the light—the light of goodness that shows them up, the light of scrutiny that exposes them, the light of truth that penetrates their deception.” (People of the Lie, p. 179)
The evil absolutely refuse to tolerate the sense of their own sinfulness, says Peck. Yet it is precisely our sense of personal sin that keeps our sin from getting out of hand:
“It is quite painful at times, but it is a very great blessing because it is our one and only safeguard against our own proclivity for evil.” (ibid, pp. 71-72)

The sins of the Ruling Class know no bounds, thus through psychological abuse, sophistry, and scapegoating, they are victimizing all decent, law-abiding Americans, causing them to be fearful of speaking truth to lies and exercising moral judgment lest they be ridiculed and accused of sin. As a result, the Light of Truth has been all but overcome by darkness. In spiritually dark America, psychologically abused Americans tunnel through dank mire like moles, always seeking but never finding, for they can no longer see the Light of Truth.

An ancient malign will energizes Progressive “god-men,” and through them great suffering and evil has been done to Americans and America. The evil have compassed us about with lies, confusion, and treachery. They have rewarded our good with evil. They have sacrificed our well-being to enact their narcissistic fantasies. In short, the evil have created a sick, twisted society that mirrors their own sick, twisted selves. And because they cannot stand the sight of their distorted mirror image (American society) they are giving America away, bit by bit, to the U.N.

Calling Evil By Its’ Name

“They hate me without a cause….they that would destroy me, are mine enemies falsely, (and being powerful)…. I restored that which I took not.” Psalm 69:4

In other words, the envious projected their own badness, that is their sins, onto the intended victim, the innocent man. Then they crucified him for possessing what they coveted. Having found him guilty of their own wickedness, the evil seized his goods and redistributed them to others…for the “common good” of course.

To come to terms with evil is perhaps one of the most painful and difficult tasks a human being can face, said Peck. Most fail and remain its’ victims. But those who succeed in developing the necessary searing spiritual discernment are those who can call evil by its’ name.

This requires that Americans “wake up” and “discern” that the evil have been projecting their own badness onto them (the scapegoats). The evil have also elevated sophistry to the level of truth, but there is no truth in it. All of this being the case, in contemporary satanically-inverted America the envious have made it a sin to worship God the Father. It is a sin to be a straight white male and a sin to refuse to be touched by abomination. It is a sin to defend your own home and to want to keep your own earnings. It is a sin to defend standards of decency, the life of the unborn, one-man/one-woman marriage, Americas’ borders, and the right to self-defense.
In short, everything good, true, right, straight, life-affirming and decent is now evil while everything depraved, unjust, bent, false, malignant and death-dealing is good. To defend the former is to be guilty of sin while to defend the latter is to be morally-pure.
No matter how difficult and painful we find the task, we must nevertheless develop the searing vision that will allow us to throw off the onerous burden of false-guilt laid upon us by evil scapegoaters. The evil must be made to bear personal responsibility for their own badness…including the sin of scapegoating.

If we fail in these tasks, then devilishly-hot needles of false-guilt will force us to both continue treating sophistry and evil fantasies as though they reflect political and cultural reality and to masochistically submit ourselves and our children to evils’ unrelenting hate, spite, malice, and abuse.

Though just a “little person” of no consequence in the eyes of the evil, Samwise Gamgee nevertheless possessed the courage and searing vision required to call evil by its’ name. Speaking of Gollum, he said:

“There’s not but lies in him, Mr. Frodo. It’s the ring (power) he wants.” (Lord of the Rings)

If we are to prevail against evil, we must be as Samwise, and not fear to call evil by its’ name.

Linda writes on worldview and related issues. Her essays are published nationally and internationally.

“Democracy is Christ’s government in church and state,” said Coolidge as he quoted John Wise (1710). “Here was the doctrine of equality, popular sovereignty, and the substance of the theory of inalienable rights….When we take all these circumstances into consideration, it is but natural that the first paragraph of the Declaration of Independence should open with a reference to Nature’s God and should close…with an appeal to the Supreme Judge of the world and an assertion of a firm reliance on Divine Providence…In its main feature the Declaration of Independence is a great spiritual document. Equality, liberty, popular sovereignty, the rights of man—these are not elements which we can see and touch. They are ideals. They have their source and roots in the religious convictions. They belong to the unseen world. ” (Backfired: A Nation Born for Religious Tolerance No Longer Tolerates Religion, William J. Federer, pp. 270-271)

The “pagan materialism” Coolidge warned against is evolutionary materialist scientism, also known as Secular Humanism. Materialism is neither new nor scientific. In the main, it is ancient Epicurean Atomism revamped and dressed up as modern science. Materialism teaches that all that exists is merely material or energy which is impersonal, totally neutral to any moral system or any interest in man as man. In this view, there is no basis for law, and no basis for man as unique and important.
Materialism is of the world view of monism which teaches that all that exists is “one self-creating, self-sufficient substance” which may be divine spirit (pantheism) or spiritless substance (materialism).

Monism is held in common by materialism, pantheism, and spiritualism and dates back to pagan antiquity and was or is taught by all non-biblical thought systems from Buddhism to Epicureanism, Gnosticism and today’s New Age Cosmic Humanism.

Monism teaches that all things, including mankind, are merely diverse parts of the one-substance. God is acceptable to this monistic frame of mind only if He is not something outside of and superior to the one-substance but one with it. In other words, God must be dispersed throughout the whole substance.

In his book, “Utopia: The Perennial Heresy,” Thomas Molnar explains that evolution, whether Darwinian or a spiritual conception such as Teilhard’s idea, serves as an imaginary mechanism of perfection for both man and the one-substance:
“Through evolution the world substance becomes progressively pure, homogenous and perfect until the terminal point is reached…” (p.235) At that point, there is either a perfected non-spiritual substance (materialism) or a perfectly spiritualized substance (pantheism). For utopians this means a heaven on earth ruled by perfected god-men.

In that materialism excludes the transcendent Creator, angels, demons, heaven, and hell it must also explain away man’s God-given individual spiritual endowments –soul, mind, free will, and conscience– attributes defined by the Founders as self-evident truths, for it is self-evidently true that all men think, choose, and feel guilt. In short, in denying the existence of God the Father and man’s supernaturally endowed attributes, materialist scientism abolishes our unalienable rights, thereby making worthless both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

It was for this reason that Coolidge warned against pagan materialism:
“Unless the faith of the American in these religious (Biblical) convictions is to endure, the principles of our Declaration will perish. We cannot continue to enjoy the result if we neglect and abandon the cause.” (ibid, p. 265; emphasis added)
Despite the valiant efforts of Pres. Coolidge and many other men of integrity to edify Americans, the consensus in contemporary America and the western world is no longer Biblical but pagan, that is, Cosmic Humanism (Eastern/Gnostic occult New Age) and Secular Humanism (materialist scientism).

In practical terms, this means that through the goetia (black magic) of Darwinian transformism “we the people” have been speculatively reduced to aggregates of matter, subsumed into the “one substance” and now have solidarity (oneness) with apes, rocks, trees, fish, tumblebugs, pond scum, and dirt. Individual salvation has become collective salvation, individual rights are now group rights, male-female created distinctions have been melted down into androgyny, and monogamous marriage has become a sexual free-for-all.

Law, foreign affairs, taxation, politics, immigration, morality and all other important decisions are now decided by a small group of “elites,” many of whom are New Age spiritists led by spirit guides and Transcended Masters, and what they decide at any given moment is supposedly for the common good of society. These all-powerful individuals are America’s Ruling Class, and in back of them, the U.N., NGOs, and other powerful global organizations.

The Return to Paganism

C.S. Lewis observed in The Abolition of Man (1947) that Cosmic and Secular Humanism appeared in Western history in the heart of Christendom during the Renaissance. The Renaissance reawakened a magic view of the world closely connected with pagan Gnostic sectarianism, Eastern pantheism as well as alchemical-scientism. Along with Eastern pantheism came spiritual evolution, reincarnation, karma and occultism, which means that evolutionary conceptions existed long before Darwin.

Early on Lewis understood that Cosmic and Secular Humanism were merely two sides of the same revival of pagan monism. Thus he argued, Cosmic and Secular Humanism are not enemies in principle but rather cooperating philosophies united against the transcendent Creator, Christianity and Christian-based civilization.

Brooks Alexander also identifies both Cosmic and Secular Humanism as the two sides of pagan monism. And because they are from the same root they tend to cross-pollinate and:
“mingle, producing a brood of offspring that exhibits the genetic heritage of its parents in a confused and confusing array. Soon it becomes impossible to say whether a given movement, trend or school of thought is a secular impulse that has absorbed Eastern/occult values, or an Eastern/occult teaching that has dressed itself in secular language.” (The Rise of Cosmic Humanism: What is Religion?” Brooks Alexander, SCP Journal, 1981-82, p. 2)

“Ye Can Be As Gods”

The powerfully seductive Big Lie underlies both Cosmic and Secular Humanism. This thought is expressed openly in the teachings of Swami Vivekananda and Dr. Beverly Galyean, leading exponent of occult New Age confluent education:
“The Buddhists and the Jains do not depend on God; but the whole force of their religion is directed to the great central truth in every religion: to evolve a God out of man.” (Inspired Talks, Ramakrishna Vivekananda Center, 1958, p. 218)

“Once we begin to see that we are all God, that we have the attributes of God, then, I think the whole purpose of human life is to reown the Godlikeness within us…So my whole view is very much based on that idea.” (Galyean quoted by Francis Adeney, Educators Look East, Radix 12, No. 3, Nov-Dec. 1980, p. 21)

This same idea expressed in secular terms such as self-realization and self-actualization (a term coined by Abraham Maslow) underlies many contemporary psychotherapies.

In carefully couched terms, the “Humanist Manifesto” (1973) also declares autonomous man’s godhood:
“We affirm that moral values derive their source from human experience. Ethics is autonomous and situational…life has meaning because we create and develop our futures.”

The conclusion of both Cosmic and Secular Humanism is the same: human beings can be as God and invent their own “ten commandments.”

Another key point at which Cosmic and Secular Humanism intersect is evolution. Secular Humanism adopted the Gnostic myth of biological (Darwinian) evolution as an explanation both for the origin and development of life as well as for the perfecting of the one substance and mankind. Cosmic Humanism springboards off of Darwinism into imaginary spiritual conceptions such as Teilhard de Chardins’ idea. The apostate French Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955) taught that God emerges from matter. According to him, this evolution of God from the world results in evolution becoming “conscious of itself” and ultimately, in the transformation of all matter into “Christ consciousness” or “pure spirit.” He called this final stage the “Omega Point” or “the cosmic Christ.”

New Age techniques to get in touch with the “Christ consciousness” include physical exercises, special diets (especially vegetarianism), biofeedback, chanting, psychodrama, consciousness-raising strategies, hypnosis and self-hypnosis, centering, body disciplines and therapies such as hatha yoga and aikido as well as sensitivity groups and encounter groups, Zen, Tibetan Buddhism and transcendental meditation and yoga. Former guru Rabindranath R. Maharaj, now a committed follower of Jesus Christ, describes his former transcendental meditation ritual and its’ terrifying consequences:
“Nothing was more important than our daily transcendental meditation, the heart of Yoga, which Krishna advocated as the surest way to eternal Bliss. But it could also be dangerous. Frightening psychic experiences awaited the…meditator, similar to a bad trip on drugs. Demons described in the Vedas had been known to take possession of some Yogis. Kundalini power, said to be coiled like a serpent at the base of the spine, could produce ecstatic experiences when released in deep meditation–or…it could do great mental and bodily harm. The line between ecstasy and horror was very fine…During daily meditation I began to have visions of psychedelic colors, to hear unearthly music, and to visit exotic planets where the gods conversed with me, encouraging me to attain even higher states of consciousness. Sometimes in my trance I encountered the same horrible demonic creatures…depicted by the images in Hindu, Buddhist, Shinto, and other religious temples. It was a frightful experience, but the Brahmacharya explained that it was normal and urged me to pursue the quest for Self Realization. At times I experienced a sense of mystical unity with the universe. I was the universe, Lord of all, omnipotent, omnipresent. My instructors were excited at this. I was obviously a chosen vessel, destined for early success in the search for union with Brahman. The Forces that had guided my father were now guiding me.” (Death of a Guru, Rabindranath R. Maharaj, pp. 56-57)

Dying Materialism Opens Door To Occult Forces

“Unless we are mistaken…the twentieth century…is to witness a gigantic conflict of spirits…More serious and fiercer than ever before, the conflict is between the old and the new worldview.” Herman Bavinck, Christian theologian, 1901
Materialist scientism has always been utterly repugnant to more spiritually sensitive people. With its’ nihilism, mindless mechanistic universe, reductionism, moral anarchy and irrationalism, it has generated its own crisis of credibility. However, as a universal alchemical-solvent that has broken down the West’s Biblical-based worldview, it has served to throw wide the door to equally irrational but far more dangerous occult New Age Cosmic Humanism, which as a spiritual force began to emerge in the United States around 1965.

By the mid-1980s, a bright “new” spirituality began to seductively beckon demoralized, restless, narcissistic, consumerist Westerners. Promising personal “spiritual” power, peace, unending pleasure, and oneness with the Divine, it enticingly whispers, “you can become god.”

In Marilyn Ferguson’s book, “The Aquarian Conspiracy,” she identifies the “new” spirituality as New Age and says that this movement of spirit is poised to radically transform our culture. Western society is at a pivotal point, said Ferguson in reference to what she called the “Emergent Culture” of New Age.

Ferguson called it the Aquarian Conspiracy for two reasons. First, astrology foretells the end of the Age of Pisces (the fish). Astrologically the fish symbolizes the Christian Age, which is finally giving way to the New Age of Aquarius. Second, she calls it a conspiracy in recognition of a spiritually-cohesive, vast interlocking-network of individuals, grassroots initiatives, and thousands upon thousands of formal New Age organizations at every level of society, from the lowest level to the highest global corridors of political, spiritual, and economic power that link this movement both nationally and internationally.

As occult spirituality moved with great speed and force over and across post-Christian America, mainstream media took note and reported:

“Neopaganism Growing Quickly: Numbers Roughly Double Every 18 Months in United States, Canada, and Europe.” Denver Post, June 26, 2008 (How Evil Works: Understanding and Overcoming the Destructive Forces that are Transforming America, David Kupelian, p. 115)

“Sorcery Sells, and the Young are Buying” Atlanta Journal-Constitution, June 10, 2007 (ibid)

“Wicca is Believed to be One of the Fastest-Growing Religions Among High School and College Students” National Public Radio, May 13, 2004 (ibid)

In his book, “America’s Schools: The Battleground for Freedom,” Allen Quist warns:
“New Age religion is now aggressively being taught in our nation’s public schools.” A model curriculum has been developed that “is clearly centered on pantheism.” “Much of what passes for environmental education and multiculturalism is really indoctrination in pantheistic/New Age theology. The ACLU and other similar organizations have no objections to (pantheistic indoctrination). It is only Christianity that these organizations object to.” (p. 51)

Tom DeWeese, President of the American Policy Center, has also been following the rise of occult pagan spirituality. In a work entitled, “Teachers, Preachers and Greens: The Unholy Alliance to Transform America,” DeWeese reveals the existence of a well-funded yet covert effort to paganize American society through an assault on schools and churches. He reveals that the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City is the home of the enormously influential Gaia Institute as well as the Temple of Understanding— a politically influential U.N. Non-Governmental Organization. DeWeese describes a pagan “church service” at St. John the Divine:
“As the congregation sit in their church pews in the great Cathedral of St. John, the Divine in New York City, the priest stands at the alter, ready to receive a procession of animals for the annual Feast of Saint Francis blessing. Down the aisle comes a procession of elephants, camels, donkeys, monkeys and birds. These are followed by members of the congregation carrying bowls of compost and worms. Next, to the sounds of music, come acrobats and jugglers. In the pulpit, former Vice President Al Gore delivers a sermon, saying, “God is not separate from the Earth.” (http://www.federalobserver.com/2010/11/14/teachers-preachers-and-greens-the-unholy-alliance-to-transform-america/)

Men Have Souls …and Demons Exist

Today anthropologists, scientific psychiatrists, and other professionals from the counseling and medical field take very seriously the fact that something frightening and unexplainable by Western science is going on here in America and throughout the West. In their search for answers they are jettisoning as useless materialist explanations. A “new” consensus is emerging: Men have souls and demons exist:

“…we need to understand a number of different concepts in order to comprehend the worldwide phenomenon of possession and exorcism. On the psychological level, we have come to know the notion underlying all possession, namely, that the body is a shell, inhabited by a soul, and that this shell may on occasion be surrendered to an intrusive alien entity. ” (How about Demons? Possession and Exorcism in the Modern World, Felicitas Goodman. IndianaUpress:1988)

“Dr Frank Lake in a talk on the demonic recalled the occasion when ‘Hans Rudi Weber was giving a talk on Christ’s Victory over the Demonic Powers to this large gathering of psychiatrists and theologians. It was quite amusing to see how uncomfortable the theologians were at this strange exhibition of what I think they regarded as Medievalism from a distinguished member of their own theological group. It was as if they were apologizing to the scientific psychiatrists present that a theologian had returned to the era of demons and evil possession. By contrast the psychiatrists were in fact leaning forward eagerly recognizing that the collective demonic is something with which they are continually dealing. As they said afterwards, ‘Why didn’t some theologian tell us about this before? We know what he’s talking about, we live with it’” (But Deliver us From Evil: An Introduction to the Demonic Dimension in Pastoral Care, John Richards, London, Dartman, Longman and Todd,1974)

Possession takes two forms, communal and individual:
“…central possession is communal, strongly institutionalized, and ritualistically induced, but peripheral possession is more normally individual and spontaneous.” (Demonic Possession: A Medical, Historical, Anthropological, and Theological Symposium, John Warwick Montgomery (ed.), Bethany,1976)

“In later life, Jung admitted that he was open to the ideas that all these metapsychic phenomena could be explained better by the theory of spirits ….in the long run (he said) I have to admit that the spirit hypothesis yields better results in practice than any other.” (The New Age Movement and the Biblical Worldview: Conflict and Dialogue, John P. Newport, Eerdmans,1998)

Dr. Carl Raschke also notes with alarm America’s downward spiral into the madess of occult spirituality. He points out that the decadence, pornography, mass murders, criminality, the ‘new religions,’ and Satanism in American culture have certain social and spiritual ties that bind them together, revealing that they are part of a similar spiritual genus. In “Satanism and the Devolution of the ‘New Religions,’” Raschke notes that Satanism is so widespread today that there are even U.S. military personnel who are members of secretive Satanist groups.

Raschke concludes that the “upsurge of Satanist practices…must be interpreted not as some kind of odd wrinkle…but as a culminating phase of the “New Age” movement…The Satanist mindset is not “religion” in the regular sense of the word, but a mystification of the most corrupt secular passions and values…Satanism is but the spiritual Frankenstein created by a social order that has attempted to sustain itself without God.” (Satanism and Witchcraft: The Occult and the West–Part 6, Dr. John Ankerberg and Dr. John Weldon)

“All the gods of the pagans are demons” Psalm 95:5

New Age Cosmic Humanism has infused and spiritualized secular materialism, transforming it into an agency for the transmission of ultimate values and revelations from the unseen realm….from powers and principalities. As a result, in the space of a few short decades, occult pagan spirituality has made profound inroads. Its upsurge manifests itself in the form of everything from UFO channeling cults, ghost-hunting, necromancy, goddess worship, shamanism, light-bearers, spirit guides, goddess worship, transcendental meditation, contemplative prayer, labyrinth walking, yoga, Wicca, revitalized Norse paganism, the annual Burning Man Festival (now televised) and the proliferation of Satanic cults.

From England to Australia, from New Zealand to South America, Canada and the United States, occult New Age spirituality is quickly becoming the West’s dominant orthodoxy.

The End of the West?

Evolutionary conceptions, monism, empiricism, reductionism, determinism, positivism, materialism, pantheism, socialism, and the ‘new religions,’ in the words of Calvin Coolidge, are not “elements which we can see and touch,” but religious convictions, aspirations, ideals, and ideas in the minds of men. As the great apocalyptic prophet Fyodor Dostoevsky clearly understood, they are a madness-inducing “fire in the minds of men” that comes from the “unseen world.”

This being the case, political fixes and Republicans in control will not cure what ails America because Americans, by and large, are spiritually diseased. This means that our primary battle is spiritual, for we are not “contending against flesh and blood, but against the (evil spirits)….against spiritual wickedness in the high places.” (Eph. 6:12)
Occult spirituality always surfaces at the end of a civilization. It heralded the end of Babylon, Rome and the Aztec civilization. It came at the end of the medieval world and now it has come at the end of the post-Christian West…” a social order that has attempted to sustain itself without God.”

During Rome’s darkest, most evil hours, early Christians—thousands of whom were cut in half, used as human torches, and crucified upside-down—nevertheless successfully forced occult forces underground, thus allowing for Christendom and later on America to arise.

America is the West’s last best hope. But do contemporary Christians and like-minded Americans possess the undying faith, unfaltering courage, love of Truth, rock-solid conviction, perseverance and will to engage this spiritual war?

The subject of Weaver’s book was “the dissolution of the West.” Its deterioration was traced by Weaver to the late 14th century when, Weaver argued, Western man had made an “evil decision.” Enticed by William of Occam’s (d. c. 1349) philosophy of nominalism, Western man abandoned his belief in transcendent “universals” and thus the position that “there is a source of truth higher than, and independent of, man…” The consequences of this revolution in ideas were catastrophic, for “The denial of everything transcending experience means inevitably…the denial of truth. With the denial of objective truth there is no escape from the relativism of ‘man is the measure of all things.”

Things worsened as the downward spiral continued:

God would be conceptually murdered, Heaven shut-down and Nature itself elevated to the supreme reality. The doctrine of original sin was abandoned and replaced by the “goodness of man.” With only the physical world of the senses held to be real, Christianity declined, rationalism arose, and materialist science became the most prestigious way to study man. With knowledge limited to the sensory realm, man’s spiritual attributes, that is, the soul, mind, conscience, and free will were soon lost in an endless cycle of reductionism and determinism. Man, created in the spiritual likeness of his supernatural Creator would be lost. In his place would stand the soulless human ape, an accidental emergent product of mindless evolutionary forces.

Weaver dubbed this way of thinking the “spoiled-child psychology” of modern man, who had “not been made to see the relationship between reward and effort.” This orgy of mindlessness is traceable to certain terrible-willed modernists who, no longer wanting to be created in the spiritual likeness of their Creator, had failed to achieve an integrated world picture, a “metaphysical dream,” said Weaver.

Weaver concluded with an ominous warning:

“the closer man stands to ruin, the duller grows his realization (for) the annihilation of spiritual being precedes the destruction of temple walls.” (The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America, George H. Nash, pp. 30-33)

What Weaver dubbed a “spoiled-child psychology” can be broken down into a legion of poisonous “isms:” naturalism, materialism, idealism, empiricism, relativism, positivism, determinism, reductionism, scientism, biological and spiritual evolutionism, Freudianism, progressivism, liberalism, socialism, communism, utopianism, amoralism, and underlying them all….atheism and antitheism.

By 1951, insanity-producing modernism had already contaminated America’s Supreme Court. In “Dennis et al. vs. U.S.” Chief Justice Fred A. Vinson observed:

“Nothing is more certain in modern society than the principle that there are no absolutes ….all concepts are relative.” (ibid, p. 37)

Around that same time, Anthony Harrigan noted that a process of decay was being fostered in America by a “fierce and subtle” modernist orthodoxy. “Modernists are determined,” he argued,

“to force the acceptance of pornography as medical science, filth as artistic realism, and abnormality as a mere difference of opinion…Though the life of the country is basically decent, Americans are in the hands of a cultural ruling class which…is conducting us to ruin.” The amoral ruling class seeks to raise up a “liberal-bred barbarian” motivated by a destructive impulse” and unchecked by “traditional values and restraints,” in order to destroy America from within noted Harrigan. (ibid, pp. 39-40)

That the ruling class of Harrigan’s day succeeded in their unholy quest can be seen by Dennis Prager’s article, “F— You” from the Music Industry,’ wherein Prager succinctly describes today’s “liberal-bred barbarians:”

“the music industry, from producers to artists, is largely populated by people who regard social and cultural norms as stifling. Their professional lives are dedicated to lowering that which is elevated, destroying that which uplifts, and to profaning that which is held sacred.” (http://townhall.com/columnists/DennisPrager/2010/12/07/f—_you_from_the_music_industry)

The barbarianism described by Prager is not restricted to music industry insiders. No, it is the prevailing attitude of the class of people described by Angelo M. Codevilla as the “Ruling Class…” In his book by that name, Codevilla notes that contemporary America is a kingdom divided against itself. Today there are two distinct classes and they are as different as day from night.

On the one hand there is the Country Class…the little people. Though in general the Country Class holds a disparity of beliefs, it nevertheless remains the repository of America’s founding Judao-Christian philosophical worldview. Hence it is the Country Class that maintains the traditional founding belief that all men are created in the spiritual likeness of God the Father and that all men are therefore subject to His laws.

On the other hand there is the Ruling Class….the liberal-bred barbarians This class is comprised of the people we commonly think of as Leftists, that is, Socialists, Communists, Marxists, Liberals, Progressives, and anarchists. But it also includes people identified as rightwing, notes Codevilla. They are certain positivist GOP and Wall Street insiders, global corporatists, and international bankers.

The Ruling Class was formed by an educational system that exposed them to the very ideas described by early Conservatives such as Richard Weaver as evil, by Harrigan as amoral, and summarized by Whittaker Chambers as “Ye shall be as gods.” Hence the key to understanding the ruling class says Codevilla, is its first principle, which is “we” are the best and brightest while the rest (the Country Class) are retrograde, racist, backwards, and dysfunctional and must be properly constrained and managed.

Whereas unscientific, unenlightened Country Class bumpkins still believe in God the Father Almighty, ruling class barbarians absolutely know by way of a “Gnostic knowing” that mankind is the emergent product of mindless evolution. Hence the ruling class “know” that they are the “naturally selected” ones possessed of superior intellect while the unevolved masses are human apes who cannot be trusted with reason or science and certainly not with guns, their own children, and private property.

To the ruling class, science is only science in the “right” hands just as consensus among the “right” people is the only standard for truth, notes Codevilla. By identifying science and reason only with themselves, ruling class barbarians have delegitimized the Country Class, thereby freeing themselves to demonize, ridicule, shame, and scorn the “lower class” as superstition-believing fundamentalists, as mentally-ill, as terrorists, haters, bigots, homophobes, and fascists. And though the ruling class has as yet been unsuccessful in destroying the Country Class’ faith in God, they have managed to make it as socially unacceptable and embarrassing as smoking—-to be done furtively and with a bad social conscience, said Codevilla.

It is as a whole that Ruling Class barbarians “regard social and cultural norms as stifling” and “are dedicated to lowering that which is elevated, destroying that which uplifts, and to profaning that which is held sacred.” Early Conservatives knew this, and as previously stated, viewed Liberalism—by any name—as evil:

Forrest Davis, an adviser to Senator Taft asked:

“Is not the prevailing political ‘liberalism’…that potpourri of indiscriminate do-goodism trending into statism and Marxism and blending so indistinguishably with treason, that is the deepest enemy of the traditional America and the West?” The Liberal, exclaimed Davis, “has looked upon the face of evil and found it half good.” (ibid, p. 95)

William Rusher, publisher of the National Review in 1957 remarked:

“…the Liberal Establishment…shares Communism’s materialist principles.” (ibid, p. 137)

In summarizing the conservative case, Frank Meyer commented:

“…Liberalism is in agreement with Communism (it sees) the necessity and desirability of socialism…it regards all inherited value—theological, philosophical, political—-as without intrinsic value or authority….therefore (there are no) irreconcilable differences…between it and Communism (thus) Liberals are unfit for the leadership of a free society, and intrinsically incapable of offering serious opposition to the Communist offensive.” (ibid. p. 137) Or to today’s jihadists, it should be noted.
It was Fyodor Dostoevsky’s acute spiritual discernment that ultimately revealed the real source of the evil lurking at the bottom of Liberalism’s so-called “enlightened” canon of isms. The evil, said Dostoevsky, is the Original Lie: “Ye can be as gods.”

In absolute agreement with Dostoevsky’s analysis, many years later ex-Communist-atheist-Darwinist Whittaker Chambers noted that the crisis of the 20th century was a crisis of faith. Communism is a religion, “man’s second oldest faith,” man’s “great alternative faith,” observed Chambers. Its promise is “Ye shall be as gods.” Its vision is “the vision of man without God,” of “man’s mind displacing God as the creative intelligence of the world,” of “man’s liberated mind…redirecting man’s destiny.” Communism proclaims an inescapable choice between two irreconcilable faiths: “God or Man, Soul or Mind, Freedom or Communism.” To Chambers, the “crisis of the Western world exists to the degree in which it is indifferent to God.”

Chambers despaired of the West because as the death of God movement that gave rise to the poisonous “isms” broadened and deepened, in the blackness of the shadow it cast, the majority of mankind appeared to Chambers to be spiritually blind to the titanic struggle between these two “irreconcilable faiths.” (ibid, p. 92)

Like Whittaker Chambers, Alexander Solzhenitsyn had been a dedicated Darwinist, Communist, and atheist, that is until he was thrown into an earthly Hell called the Gulag. After many long years of unbelievably brutal suffering he emerged one of the 20th century’s most powerful Christian prophets. In a message of immense importance to us he said:

“If we surrender to corruption, we do not deserve to be called human. But let us note that the absolutely essential task is not political liberation, but the liberation of our souls from participation in the lie forced upon us…this requires no physical, or revolutionary…measures. No. It requires from each individual a moral step within his or her power….No one who voluntarily runs with hounds of falsehood will ever be able to justify himself to the living…”

Solzhenitsyn is saying that modernist “isms” have corrupted all of us in some fashion. This is because at the heart of them is the Original Lie and all men are naturally attracted to and seduced and tainted by it in some fashion.

Once the Original Lie in its many deceptive guises is institutionalized, it becomes the basis for policy decisions and legislation such as Global Warming, the transnational corridor and highway, redistributive justice, progressive taxation, population control, sustainable development, gay marriage, and Darwinism taught in schools. It likewise becomes the basis for law enforcement, for example, speech codes and hate crimes laws, separation of church and state, and no public nativity scenes. This means that many lies have already been installed as laws, covered by a shroud of other lies and enforced by law. Already in America, to oppose the lie is to be accused of a hate crime.

Solzhenitsyn is also telling us that we must liberate our souls from the power of the Lie. We must become warriors for truth. To fight for truth means defining, exposing, and attacking the lies—Darwinism for example. But isn’t Darwinism empirical science? No, absolutely not. At bottom, Darwinism is a Gnostic myth notes Dr. Wolfgang Smith, physicist and mathematics professor at Oregon State University:

“…As a scientific theory, Darwinism would have been jettisoned long ago. The point, however, is that the doctrine of evolution has swept the world, not on the strength of its scientific merits, but precisely in its capacity as a Gnostic myth. It affirms, in effect, that living things created themselves, which is in essence a metaphysical claim….Thus…evolutionism is a metaphysical doctrine decked out in scientific garb….it is a scientistic myth. And the myth is Gnostic, because it implicitly denies the transcendent origin of being; for indeed, only after the living creature has been speculatively reduced to an aggregate of particles does Darwinist transformism become conceivable. Darwinism, therefore, continues the ancient Gnostic practice of deprecating “God the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth.” It perpetuates…the venerable Gnostic tradition of “Jehovah bashing.” (From Old Gnosticism to New Age I, Alan Morrison, SCP Journal Vol. 28:4-29:1, 2005, pp. 30-31)

Darwinism is the Big Lie that allows ruling class barbarians to conceptually dehumanize the Country Class, look down upon them in utter contempt and resentment, and run roughshod over them. Without their realizing it, the Country Class has been reduced to tax slaves to feed the insatiable appetites of the Ruling Class.

To destroy the power of Darwinism is to literally knock the pinnacle out from under ruling class barbarians, thereby casting them down to earth from atop their imagined lofty heights. Suddenly they will be just like the Country Class— fallible, sinful men made in the spiritual likeness of God the Father Almighty and subject to His moral laws. This is the true equality envisioned by the Founders.

However, before we can be effective warriors for truth cautions Solzhenitsyn, we must first cast out our own lies and other sins through confession and repentance. For only with a clean conscience can we be effective warriors for truth.

However, the real issue here is not “superstitious, backward Christianity” vs. “enlightened reason and science” but about one creation account (Genesis) vs. another creation account (Darwinian evolution). The truth of this claim can be seen in the following quotes:

“…one belief that all true original Darwinians held in common, and that was their rejection of creationism, their rejection of special creation. This was the flag around which they assembled and under which they marched… The conviction that the diversity of the natural world was the result of natural processes and not the work of God was the idea that brought all the so-called Darwinians together in spite of their disagreements on other of Darwin’s theories. (One Long Argument ,1991, p.99, Ernst Mayr (1904 – 2005) Professor of Zoology at Harvard University)

“We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is an absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door.” (“Billions and Billions of Demons” Richard Lewontin (b. 1929) PhD Zoology, Alexander Agassiz Research Professor at Harvard University)

In other words, terrible-willed evolutionists have a Cosmic Authority problem, and this is why they rally around Darwinism and force its absurd, counterintuitive teachings upon gullible, misinformed Americans while simultaneously ridiculing and otherwise psychologically terrorizing creationists, among whose numbers are many of the defenders of America’s founding traditions.
Commenting on the Cosmic Authority problem of many atheists, Thomas Nagel, professor of philosophy and law at New York University confesses:

“I want atheism to be true and am made uneasy by the fact that some of the most intelligent and well-informed people I know are religious believers. It isn’t just that I don’t believe in God and, naturally, hope that I’m right in my belief. It’s that I hope there is no God! I don’t want there to be a God; I don’t want the universe to be like that. My guess is that this cosmic authority problem is not a rare condition and that it is responsible for much of the scientism and reductionism of our time. One of the tendencies it supports is the ludicrous overuse of evolutionary biology to explain everything about life, including everything about the human mind.” (The Rage Against God: How Atheism Led Me To Faith, Peter Hitchens, pp. 149-150)

Just what is Darwinism anyway?

At bottom, Darwinism is a Gnostic myth notes Dr. Wolfgang Smith, physicist and mathematics professor at Oregon State University:

“…As a scientific theory, Darwinism would have been jettisoned long ago. The point, however, is that the doctrine of evolution has swept the world, not on the strength of its scientific merits, but precisely in its capacity as a Gnostic myth. It affirms, in effect, that living things created themselves, which is in essence a metaphysical claim….Thus…evolutionism is a metaphysical doctrine decked out in scientific garb….it is a scientistic myth. And the myth is Gnostic, because it implicitly denies the transcendent origin of being; for indeed, only after the living creature has been speculatively reduced to an aggregate of particles does Darwinist transformism become conceivable. Darwinism, therefore, continues the ancient Gnostic practice of deprecating “God the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth.” It perpetuates…the venerable Gnostic tradition of “Jehovah bashing.” (From Old Gnosticism to New Age I, Alan Morrison, SCP Journal Vol. 28:4-29:1, 2005, pp. 30-31)

Gnostics

Historically, Gnostics have always been notorious God-haters to the extent of consigning Him to hell. The early Church Fathers called them the “lawless ones,” as they were idolizers of their own minds, rebels against all authority, immoralists, hedonists, and builders of alternative realities (utopian fantasies) requiring the death of God, for the heart of Gnosticism is “man is god.”

While the infamous Tower of Babel was history’s first Gnostic project, the Soviet Union and Socialist Germany are modern versions. In his book, “Science, Politics, & Gnosticism,” esteemed political philosopher Eric Voegelin (1901-85) identifies progressivism, positivism, Hegelianism, Marxism, and the “God is dead” school as modern Gnostic movements. All of these movements are firmly grounded on the Gnostic myth of Darwinism.

In their rage against God the Father, modern Gnostics refuse to be created in His spiritual image, thus they conceptually ‘uncreate’ themselves through reductionism, which in the words of Wolfgang Smith, means that they speculatively reduce themselves to “aggregates of particles”. Reductionism is a tenet of the philosophy of materialism.

Materialist philosophy is neither new nor scientific, but one of the most ancient superstitious beliefs in the world. The ancient version held that matter has always existed and everything that exists consists of matter. According to the modern version, invisible dead-matter spontaneously generated itself from nothing, and then by way of evolution magically produced everything else. To believe this is to believe that the nothingness within the magician’s hat spontaneously generated the bunny.

If evolutionism was a gas-powered generator, then spontaneous generation would be its indispensable fuel, admits Ernst Haeckel, pantheist mystic and ardent defender of Darwinism. In the following quote, observe that Haeckel confesses that spontaneous generation is not scientific but rather metaphysical. Furthermore, this metaphysical doctrine is the essential replacement for creation Ex Nihilo—-the miracle of creation in other words:

“…spontaneous generation appears to us as a simple and necessary event in the process of the development of the earth. We admit that this process, as long as it is not directly observed or repeated by experiment, remains a pure hypothesis. But I must again say that this hypothesis is indispensable for the consistent completion of the non-miraculous history of creation, that it has absolutely nothing forced or miraculous about it, and that certainly it can never be positively refuted. It must also be taken into consideration that the process of spontaneous generation, even if it still took place daily and hourly, would in any case be exceedingly difficult to observe and establish with absolute certainty as such. This is also the opinion of Naegeli, the ingenious investigator, and he, in his admirable chapter on Spontaneous Generation, maintains that “to deny spontaneous generation is to proclaim miracles.” (The History of Creation v.1, 1892, p.422)

Ray Comfort quotes evolutionist Stephen Hawking who in essence affirms that “the nothingness within the magician’s hat spontaneously generated the bunny:”

“According to professor Stephen Hawking, God didn’t create the universe. Instead, nothing created everything. However, Hawking has violated the basic laws of science. In an extract of his latest book, The Grand Design…published in Eureka magazine in The Times, the professor said: ‘Because there is a law such as gravity, the Universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the Universe exists, why we exist.’”

“It is embarrassingly unscientific to speak of anything creating itself from nothing,” remarked Comfort. “Common sense says that if something possessed the ability to create itself from nothing, then that something wasn’t nothing, it was something–a very intelligent creative power of some sort. ”

Comfort concludes:

“Hawking has violated the unspoken rules of atheism. He isn’t supposed to use words like ‘create’ or even ‘made.’ They necessitate a Creator and a Maker. Neither are you supposed to let out that the essence of atheism is to believe that nothing created everything, because it’s unthinking.” (Hawking Breaks Atheists Rules, Comfort, www.worldviewweekend.com)

So as it turns out, spontaneous generation is yet another “just-so” story. However, the importance of this particular fairytale is that it is the irreplaceable metaphysical foundation of the larger Gnostic myth of Darwinism. Without spontaneous generation, Darwinism…indeed all evolutionism…falls apart, leaving only the miraculous creation Ex Nihilo.

Furthermore, the respected scientist Louis Pasteur definitively disproved spontaneous generation just three years after Darwin published his book, “On the Origin of Species:”

“… Darwin’s celebrated tome On the Origin of Species, which had been published just three years before Pasteur’s experiments, sought to discredit the need for God to create the species by showing how one species can transmute into another. But Darwin’s account left open the problem of how the first living thing came to exist. Unless life had always existed, at least one species — the first — cannot have come to exist by transmutation from another species, only by transmutation from nonliving matter. Darwin himself wrote, some years later: “I have met with no evidence that seems in the least trustworthy, in favour of so-called Spontaneous Generation.” Yet, in the absence of a miracle, life could have originated only by some sort of spontaneous generation. Darwin’s theory of evolution and Pasteur’s theory that only life begets life cannot both have been completely right. (The Fifth Miracle,1999, p.83, Paul Davies (b. 1946) Director of BEYOND: Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science)

The Darwinian Deception

Colin Patterson writes that after studying evolutionary theory for many years, he finally “woke up and realized that all my life I had been duped into taking evolutionism as revealed truth in some way.” Patterson goes on to say:

“One of the reasons I started taking this anti-evolutionary view, or let’s call it a non- evolutionary view, was last year I had a sudden realization for over twenty years I had thought I was working on evolution in some way. One morning I woke up and something had happened in the night and it struck me that I had been working on this stuff for twenty years and there was not one thing I knew about it. That’s quite a shock to learn that one can be so misled so long. Either there was something wrong with me or there was something wrong with evolutionary theory. Naturally, I know there is nothing wrong with me, so for the last few weeks I’ve tried putting a simple question to various people and groups of people….Question is: Can you tell me anything you know about evolution, any one thing, that is true? I tried that question on the geology staff at the Field Museum of Natural History and the only answer I got was silence. I tried it on the members of the Evolutionary Morphology Seminar in the University of Chicago, a very prestigious body of evolutionists, and all I got there was silence for a long time and eventually one person said, “I do know one thing – it ought not to be taught in high school.”

When C.S. Lewis pointedly observed that the entire edifice of the so-called ‘science’ of Darwinian naturalism has but one purpose, to keep the supernatural Creator out, he was merely confirming admissions made by Lewontin and many other Darwinists. In sum, Darwinism is a deception perpetrated by self-worshipping swindlers who have been ‘pulling the wool’ over the eyes of the uninitiated masses, to use Lewontins’ own words. (The Oxford Socratic Club, 1944)

Deceptions Have Consequences

Long before Darwinian Gnostics systematically liquidated in excess of 200,000,000 men, women, and children on behalf of communist and socialist utopian fantasies, George Romanes sought to warn the world of the coming catastrophe:

“Never in the history of man has so terrific a calamity befallen the race as that which all who look may now behold advancing as a deluge, black with destruction, resistless in might, uprooting our most cherished hopes, engulfing our most precious creed, and burying our highest life in mindless desolation . . The flood-gates of infidelity are open, and Atheism overwhelming is upon us.” (George Romanes, A Candid Examination of Theism ,1878)

More recently, H. Enock wrote:

“No wonder that Brig. General F.D. Frost stated in the Fundamentalist, January, 1950, p. 21: ‘There is no doubt about it that the doctrine of evolution is the greatest curse in our educational system.’ Whether we read Ward’s Dynamic Sociology, or Russell’s Code of Morals, or Briffalt’s Immoralism or some other book written by the Behaviorist School,—they all seem to endeavour to justify and base their conclusions on the bestial nature of man. This philosophy seeks to…. reduce man to the level of animal nature. The surging unrest, the broken homes, the frustrated lives, the increasing divorce cases, the multiplied number of criminals are but the inevitable outcome of the acceptance and practice of this evolutionary doctrine.” (H. Enock, Evolution or Creation ,1966, pp. 1146-1147)

Evolutionism “should not be taught in high school.” Indeed. Gnosticism is the spiritual disorder of our age and Darwinism and spontaneous generation are its toxic roots. Conceptual murderer of God the Father, inverter of reality, hater of humanity, uplifter of Satan as the first ‘free thinker,’ destroyer of truth and all that is good, normal, and decent; bringer of chaos, blasphemy, hedonism, pathological lying, genocide and other evils too many to be listed, Gnosticism has all but destroyed America and the West.

In his book, “The Rage Against God: How Atheism Led Me To Faith,” Peter Hitchens, brother of the infamous atheist Christopher writes:

“…the Bible angers and frustrates those who believe that the pursuit of a perfect society justifies the quest for absolute power. The concepts of sin, of conscience, of eternal life, and of divine justice under an unalterable law are the ultimate defense against the utopian’s belief that ends justify means and that morality is relative. These concepts are safeguards against the worship of human power.” (Rage Against God, p. 135)

The Western civilized nations rose to greatness on the wings of just one spiritual faith …Christianity. Unalienable rights come from the transcendent Creator and not from weak, easily corrupted men. Through abandonment of its’ spiritual roots, the West—which today is a Gnostic-West—is moving inexorably toward its death.

America is the West’s last best hope, observed Mark Steyn. Yet America is itself pathologically infected by Gnosticism and near death. Gnosticism must be destroyed. To do this we must tear it out by the roots. This means Darwinism must be uprooted and exposed for what it really is: a Gnostic myth.

“After 50 years of being inundated with stories of white racism, and being taught in college that in this white-dominated society, only a white can be a racist, the American public has been properly brainwashed into accepting the otherwise incredible: A black man murdered eight white people at his place of work because they were white, and the media story is about the murderer’s alleged experiences of racism.” (http://worth-reading-blog.blogspot.com/2010/08/black-murders-eight-whites-media-blames.html)

America is dying, and due in large part to the fallacious left-right dichotomy, the underlying infection and its’ carriers cannot be clearly identified. Consequently, we fight against symptoms rather than the cause of infection, which is an exercise in futility. To clear the air, we ought to think in terms of the Founder’s rather ingenious political spectrum, a yardstick for measuring political power in any system of government. In other words, the yardstick is not about political parties or grassroots movements such as today’s Tea Party but about political power.

Government is a system of ruling or controlling. In the American Dictionary of the English Language, 1828, Noah Webster defines government as:

“The exercise of authority; direction and restraint exercised over the actions of men in communities, societies or states; the administration of public affairs, according to established constitution, laws and usages, or by arbitrary edicts.”

On the Founder’s yardstick, the two extreme forms of governance are Anarchy and Tyranny, or in today’s vernacular, Utopian Statism and its’ co-dependent, the Liberalized masses. These two extremes are placed at either end of the spectrum. Statists, whether described as oligarchs, totalitarians, or despots for example, are on the far left while the cult of the unrestrained (Liberals) are on the far right. Included within the definition of Liberal are all who demand an end to moral restraints, which means for instance that certain Republicans, Independents, Libertarians, militant atheists, Liberal Christians, and Democrats are anarchists as measured by the Founders yardstick. At the one extreme there is neither moral law nor cultural restraint. At the other extreme there is oppressive control and too much government—Big Brother, in other words. Both extremes are united by moral relativism, unrestrained passions, will to power, and arbitrary edicts, which are merely politicized caprice, whim, envy, vengeance-seeking, lust, resentment, and covetousness.

Occupying the middle area of the spectrum are both yesterday’s Founding generation and today’s Constitutional Conservatives of every skin color, of both sexes and from every walk of life. Like the Founders, they believe the rights of all people are unalienable (from the supernatural Creator) and cannot be violated without risking the wrath of Divine Justice. And whether believers or not, they hold that Christianity is one of the West’s central foundational pillars:

“The Christian religion is the religion of our country. From it are derived our prevalent notions of the character of God, the great moral governor of the universe. On its doctrines are founded the peculiarities of our free institutions.” (William McGuffey, d. May 4, 1873, professor at the University of Virginia, president of Ohio University, and author of McGuffey’s Readers; http://www.earstohear.net/Separation/warnings.html)

Constitutionalists also believe that individual liberty lives or dies according to whether the people are self-controlled and virtuous or lacking self-control and thereby depraved:

“No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.” (Samuel Adams, Founding Father; http://www.earstohear.net/Separation/warnings.html)

Why are only virtuous people capable of individual freedom? In simple terms, all men are compound mixtures of strengths and weaknesses and good and evil. In short, all men are both kindly Dr. Jekyll and evil Mr. Hyde. Virtuous people are those who, over time and with great self-sacrifice, personal suffering, and perseverance, have learned–however imperfectly–to restrain their Mr. Hyde appetites. In attainment of self-control, virtuous people are by consequence capable of self-governance. This means that they are able to live and work within an atmosphere of limited government, or just enough government to protect liberty, rights, and property but not too little that anarchy ensues. Without virtue, liberty degenerates into the madness that now characterizes America and the West:

“What is liberty without virtue? It is the greatest of all possible evils…madness without restraint. Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites.” (Edmund Burke, 1791 at the National Assembly, http://www.earstohear.net/Separation/warnings.html)

Statists and Liberals

“What distinguishes Communism from the fanatical authoritarian religions with which it has so many points in common is… its rigid, dogmatic and uncompromising exclusion of any element in life lying outside the confines of the present material world….Truth and objectivity are of minor importance. The main purpose is to defame and denounce in every way.” Communism is “the faith without God.” (William Henry Chamberlin, Russia’s Iron Age, p. 311)

On the Founder’s spectrum, Communism, Fascism, radical Islamism, and Socialism would be on the left since they are totalitarian faiths and/or belief systems. Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Fidel, George Soros, “elite” green environmentalists, Obama’s Czars and Obama for example, would likewise be located on the far left as they are adherents of totalitarian systems.

On the right are the Liberalized masses. Among their number today are even some otherwise orthodox Christians who are Liberals by dint of propaganda, demoralization, mind-conditioning, and dumbing-down. However, after fifty years of systematic demoralization, a diabolical agenda stealthily carried out by the Progressive mind-conditioners of cognitive dissonance and moral depravity, today’s Liberalized majority are self-centered adolescents in adult size bodies. They are whining, nasty narcissists full of the pride and unrestrained appetites that brazenly define obscenity, pornography, blasphemy, covetousness, hedonism, sodomy, sadomasochism, laziness, and envy as “Constitutional rights.” These are the depraved individuals who not only believe that anyone who hurts their feelings should be charged with a hate crime but that money and rights grow on trees.

Liberalism is the default position of self-centered children, notes Reb Bradley, author of “Born Liberal Raised Right.” Bradley notes:

Sexually, today’s America is “a nation ruled by its passions.” “Heinous acts of casual disregard for life, unheard of fifty years ago, have become a familiar item on the evening news; students killing classmates, children murdering their playmates….these gruesome crimes are merely symptomatic of a breakdown of moral fiber…” (ibid, pp. 2-3)

That far right and far left factions are united in a twisted co-dependent relationship makes sense really, for as virtuous people are those who are most capable of self-governance, they represent true adulthood, strength, authority, truth, reality, courage, and order, which things the other two factions deeply resent and are in rebellion against. Peter Hitchens, brother of the infamous militant atheist Christopher, and author of “The Rage Against God: How Atheism Led Me to Faith,” says of this sick relationship:

There is an “…alliance between political utopianism (totalitarianism) and the new cult of the unrestrained self, unleashed into the Western world by Sigmund Freud and Wilhelm Reich, by Alfred Kinsey and Herbert Marcuse, promoted by the self-pitying anthems of rock music, and encouraged by the enormous power of “progressive” education in which so many cultural revolutionaries work.” (p. 135)

America’s Plague of Madness

Sanity is the ability to recognize right from wrong independently of personal feelings, fears, impulses, desires, and compulsions. Rational thinking then, is reasoning disciplined to resist the corrupting influence of personal feelings, thus allowing for the acceptance of truths that contradict feelings, desires, and fancies. In short, rational thinking is morally-informed reasoning. It is dispassionate, rightly-ordered and logical, and is the fruit of impulse-control and unswerving commitment to enduring truths, moral law, and principle. Irrational reasoning is the opposite. Irrationality is the inability to recognize right from wrong independent of personal feelings, impulses, and compulsions. By the degree to which the moral sense is corrupt, so too is reason. The greater the degree of corruption, the more depraved is reason.

This being the case, the most frightening aspect of Liberal statist depravity is that through the White House, legislatures and courts they have the power to lead our country farther down the path to moral decline and from there into the abyss. Enabling them in all of this are millions of dumbed-down, mind-conditioned, demoralized Americans, of whom some are said to be “leftists” and others “rightists.”

An astute commentator to the Prager Zeitung incisively cut through the confusion caused by the left-right dichotomy to reveal the dreadful reality:

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.” “The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince…The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool” “It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.” (Prager Zeitung, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2559666/posts )
