As we said before, gaining knowledge about God is a whole different deal than learning about other humans. In this world, knowledge is a commodity that we buy and sell. It’s ammunition that we use to gain power for ourselves and trash others. But because knowledge is so readily accessible, we’ve learned to treat it as a cheap and common thing. We’re used to feeling entitled to it, and we’re used to flaunting it like gaudy jewelry just to draw attention to ourselves.
So only commercial or competition purposes, there are no human relationships? This sounds calculating, cold and sociopath.
Consider how often you see people broadcasting intimate facts about someone else just to draw attention to themselves. Gossip rags delight in posting pictures of celebrities sobbing or making out just so the rags will sell more copies.
So cheap tabloid magazines now? And attention whores we can guess about.
With the introduction of forums like Facebook and Twitter, we’ve seen the value of private information drop even lower.
You mean social media, sure, it's the cheap replacement to personal and public mailing lists for those who couldn't host their material and increasingly used suboptimal devices and technologies for text, then became dependent of a few companies exploiting their data.
It used to be that couples went on their honeymoons to get away from others and share secret, intimate moments in the bedroom. Now people bring their phones with them and take pornographic photos of themselves making out with their spouses.
Oh it's not about tech, just the usual fundamentalist society going to shit but I sell fix-it dream narrative.
Pregnant mothers post pictures of themselves in the nude just before giving birth so we can all see the size of their stomachs.
I sense jealousy?
When loved ones are ill, we photograph them sitting in hospital beds and invite the whole world to gawk at them.
This is here because? Human worship?
People can’t share secrets or sincere compliments anymore without some concern that what they said will end up pasted on the internet. “My husband said the sweetest thing to me in bed the other day.” Really? Since when are bedroom conversations supposed to be broadcast to the whole world? Did you even bother to ask for your friend’s permission before you repeated what she said to you to an audience of strangers?
Oh, so relationships going to shit and I have fix-it dream to sell?
Now in the Church, we find a similarly nauseating show of people broadcasting their personal conversations with God just as a means to draw attention to themselves. Pompous prophets crank out the books and blogs in which they give us all a blow-by-blow description of the night Jesus materialized in their bedroom and told them how impressed He was with them. Many fat-headed pastors just can’t wait to get onstage Sunday morning and tell us all about the conversation they had with God at breakfast. Prayer warriors are always going on about who said what in the prayer closet.
And that would be you, right. But yeah, Jesus said that public prayer shows are hypocrisy, so, maybe something to work on.
Healers are known for flaunting the secret insights they claim God has given them. Christian musicians turn their personal prayers to God into songs for us all to sing.
Aren't there song compilations in the Bible, like those misattributed to a mythological Solomon? Some human artists created and compiled those, obviously. Not a good example to follow?
And then there are all of the untitled masses who are always competing with each other to come up with the best “God said something to me” story.
Which would be you.
It’s really quite repulsive, the way we’re treating our personal exchanges with God so cheaply. And as long as we’re only interested in God talking so that we can have new material to boast about, we can be sure that He’s never going to invite us to really know Him.
So less spam, more personal relationship? Another good point to work on.
God doesn’t view Himself as our toy. He doesn’t share information with us to entertain us or to help us exalt ourselves in this world. To know God is a priceless privilege, not a right.
As far as I know the sky parent toys humans created for themselves have always been treated this way and competing with eachother. Mine is better, yours is pagan, etc. Mine says this and tells you do that and here's my list of things he does not want you to do! Burn in hell for eternity if you don't obey. You know. Well, in polytheist settings, one may also be for this kind of problem and that other for that other kind of blessing, this city god is for when you're here, and...
When we reject this, He begins taking back any knowledge that He shared with us and we drift into ignorance without even realizing what’s happening.
Denial of actual facts from history? Denial of our actual origins? When we reject reality, it's not really the fault of our imaginary deities.
When you’re attempting to relate to the Beings who made you
That somebody created and someone else claimed made me, that another reappropriated for the dictation of his own dogma, etc?
you are relating to three Beings who consider Themselves to be the most magnificent, fascinating, and desirable Beings in existence. To say that They are “egotistical” is a major understatement. There is no limit to how highly our Gods think of Themselves, and understanding this about Them is critical for anyone who wants to approach Them correctly.
So when you say "Creators" you mean the trinity? So we're not supposed to boast, instead we're supposed to project it into imaginary beings that we should boast? Just like we're not supposed to hate the sinner, but the sin? Or we can't directly reach that particular deity in the secret, it needs intercession by this other one... "Soul-objects"?
We are not dealing with our equals–we are dealing with Beings who infinitely outrank us, and who say that we ought to consider ourselves humbly honored by any invitation to know Them better.
But are never there for us, apparently. Why should we care for them? Oh right, we've created them for our purposes.
In mainstream Christianity, you simply aren’t going to be taught to treat your Gods with the level of respect that They want. The purpose of our site is to help souls understand what cherishing, honoring, and respecting God means.
Aha, the better than yours radicalization cult, with mainstream religion not being extreme enough. Did you do the sacrifice divine lighting test? You know, that ordeal where God selects the one he likes, consuming the chosen offer by fire. Until you have that confirmation, others may still consider you pagan or heretic.
Cultivating the four soul attitudes that we’re always talking about is vital to you approaching your Creators in a way that They will be receptive to. As we often say, our Gods delight in sharing insights about Themselves with souls who are treasuring Them above all else.
How do you get the successful "divine delight" cue? Do you trigger it with things Yahweh likes, like the odor of burnt flesh? They're your heavenly treasures?
But learning about God requires a very different approach than learning about people. With God, we ask our questions, but then we must learn to respectfully wait for Him to bring us answers in His own time. We can’t take an entitled attitude with Him, for there are going to be many questions that He refuses to answer.
So I won't tell you until I find it convenient, meanwhile I'll tell you everything else he expects of you. Or, I cannot tell, because well, imaginary gods don't reliably answer. Magic needs faith and time, especially with capricious spoiled babies.
If we cherish any insights He is willing to share and if we treat those things as the sacred treasures that they are, then He will be pleased to share more with us. But if we treat the knowledge of God as a cheap, expendable thing which we can use to promote ourselves–or if we try to find ways to go around God and unearth secrets about Him without His help, then we will learn the hard way just how foolish it is for specks like us to scoff at the concept of treating our Creators with respect.
So falling in projection again. You're the special one and we should just trust that, when you do what you claim others shouldn't do it's also fine, somehow. Just listen and obey per your good penitent slave status as intended by my god. And he just revealed to me that if you masturbate, he'll turn you into a blind sex obsessed mouse who'll copulate until total exhaustion, dehydration and death. Then send your mouse soul to be slowly eaten by hell cats forever, and ever, and ever... It would have been better if you were never born, but the evil demiurge needs you for superior godly entertainment at a mysterious level humans cannot understand.
