#1 - Cult; A system of religious worship// admiration of or devotion
to, a person or thing especially as a form of intellectual snobbery//
A passing craze or fashion// a creed or sect.
Comment: This means all systems of religion, not just ones that you
(general term meaning everyone) don't happen to be a member of
regardless of their size or the extent of their brainwashing or mind
control.
#2 - Terror; great fear.
#3 - Terrorism; The policy of using acts inspiring terror as a method
of ruling or of conducting political opposition.
Comment: Which would include the use of things like eternal damnation
and the like. This applies to all ends of the religious spectrum.
Having stated that, I would prefer not to have my name associated
with
any religion or political party for that matter.
Religion - Where to start? As already present creatures or organisms
mutated and evolved into thee predecessors of modern humankind, since
these early people's brains were not as evolved, they were unable to
explain why things occurred. Basic things like why the sun came up,
why the wind blew, why rain or snow fell, etc. Which in turn led to
fears of these things. During this time survival often depended on
being the strongest, biggest or from being able to cause fear in your
competitors. As time passed, some people started learning that the
sun
came up close to a certain time frame every day, snow came at a
certain time of year, rain fell after certain clouds appeared, eating
certain things could kill someone, etc. These people used the fears
of such things to gain power. And to produce more fear, they came up
with beings known as gods. To these gods they attributed everything
and they sometimes had a god for every different thing. After all the
more gods, the more others had to fear. (As with modern religions,
they would kill, imprison or discredit others in order to keep their
power.) They manipulated people to get them to think that they were
somehow close to whatever god. They concocted a place, as a reward,
for
people to go after death if they obeyed them and blindly followed
what they said. They also concocted a place or a type of punishment
for
those that did not obey or follow them after death. They started the
myth known as a soul so that they could use the fears that stemmed
from an afterlife. The people doing this also learned that by keeping
others ignorant it was much easier to control them through their own
fears. ( an example from more modern religion; saying the earth was
flat and if you strayed to far you would fall off. This is an attempt
to get others to be afraid to go very far from the power structure of
the cult to keep them from learning anything other than what they put
forth to pass as knowledge.) Anyway, soon they learned that one
person
couldn't watch everyone to stop the acquisition of knowledge, so they
enlarged their cults and brought others in on their schemes. Often
giving them the power that came with representing different
gods/goddesses, if they agreed to keep what knowledge they had
amongst
themselves. (Which in later religions translates into different
areas.) This often led to cults within cults and sometimes to
disagreements resulting in offshoot cults arising, still using the
same ways to gain power. They also came up with various rituals to be
performed regularly. (Repetition for mind control.) They told people
to bring their children to the rituals as soon as possible so as to
receive their gods/goddesses blessings or so as not to anger them.
They soon discovered that their brainwashing was much easier the
earlier in someone's development that they started. Or if you prefer,
that it was much easier to control the mind of an adult if they got
to
them as a child. (Still very much in practice today by all religions
and has spread to other areas of society as well.) They came up with
the ideas for sacrifices or donations to gain favor with their gods
or
god. They started wars, more people to control and to make sacrifices
and donations. As societies, cultures, empires and countries came and
went, the names of the various gods/goddesses changed, the amount of
gods/goddesses changed and the stories or myths were altered, or new
ones made up, to fit each new religion. For instance, several times
in
an ancient religion, a god named Zeus changed form and descended from
the heavens to impregnate women. (A myth which in turn came from
previous religious fables) The children of these women often were
considered demi-gods or heroes and fables sprang up about them. They
often would also become martyrs or pawns of their various cults. Some
even started their own cults and they were also often worshipped. So
the myth of Christ wasn't exactly a new idea, nor would it be beyond
religion to embellish on or cover up facts to keep or gain power.
(The psychotronic weaponry may be somewhat new, but the idea of
gaining power through mind control is very, very old.)
As for the satanic-military or the satanic-pedophilia ties that
I have come across on numerous web sites pertaining to mind control,
yes it is possible that said people worship satan. Satanism is also a
system of religious worship. History, even very modern history, also
shows that the god-military and god-pedophilia ties have been around
for a long, long time. And if it weren't for the myth of god, then
the
myth of satan would not exist.
There is no doubt that religions vary somewhat from one to the
next, however one theme remains the same: Here is the religious
doctrine - Think it, Breathe it, Live it and Obey it or else. In
other
words MIND CONTROL.
That said the following is a brief list of various things and
a brief explanation of how they stem from religious belief systems
(cults) or are caused by religious belief systems.
(I originally entitled this section; Religion is a mind fuck -
meaning
it fucks over your mind.)
#1 Magic - Creationism (enough said)
#2 UFO's - Goes back to several mythologies (religions, cults) where
anything they
couldn't identify (flying type objects) was labeled as some sort of
god or attributed to one. Also stems from various mythologies
(religions, cults) fables of gods or their accomplices arriving on
flying horses or in chariots or this that or the other type of
vehicle
or flying animal.
#3 Extra dimensions (parallel type scenarios) - Well when religions
(cults) ran out of
places for their gods/goddesses to live and their afterlife scenarios
to exist, they had to come up with something.
#4 Time travel - Way too many references in mythologies (religions,
cults) to list, but a
given to many gods/goddesses. Also stems from the way humans measure
time.
#5 Telepathy (without technology) - Pretty much prevalent in all
mythologies (religions,
cults). Silent prayer (a religious ritual abuse) would be telepathy.
How many religions (cults) still use the old "their particular
supernatural entity (god) spoke to them or came to them in a way that
only they could hear or see?
#6 Telekinesis (not the technology definition) - Almost every
supernatural entity (god,
demigod, goddess) in every mythology (religion, cult) has been
attributed the 'power' to move things with a thought. Also the
'power'
to produce or destroy objects with a simple thought.
#7 Teleportation - Another 'power' attributed to most supernatural
entities (gods/goddesses) and even to some humans (through magic) in
almost every mythology (religion, cult) .
#8 Levitation - Often mistaken for flight, which again is attributed
to many supernatural
entities (gods/goddesses) throughout various mythologies (religions
cults).
#9 Transmorgrification (shape shifting) - Probably actually stems
from
people wearing
various hides as clothing, but has been adapted (twisted to fit)
almost every mythology (religion, cult). And has often been used to
represent 'evil' entities or beings when the people wearing the hides
were not part of the particular cult (religion, mythology)
representing it as such. Also see reference to Zeus above.
#10 Alchemy (as relating to magic) - Quite a few references in
various
mythologies
(religions, cults) to various supernatural entities being able to
alter the composition of things, including humans, into other
substances. Midas touch, pillar of salt and Medusa turning people to
stone for a few examples.
#11 Astrology - Referred to in most mythologies ( religions, cults),
usually as some sort
Astronomy twisted to fit into a particular mythological (religious,
cult) system of beliefs. Has since become pretty much a religion
(cult) by itself.
#12 Psychiatry and Psychology - Religion is the original
psychological
warfare
operation. Throughout history people have been deemed mentally ill
for
speaking out against mythologies (religions, cults). Note the irony.
Lobotomies were first performed under the guise of religion.
#13 Pedophilism - May have other origins, but has been a part of most
mythologies (religions, cults) throughout history. Usually
incorporated as some sort of rite or ritual or practiced by said
members and followers. The word originated from a rite in a Roman
religious ritual abuse, but it took place before (and still does)
under different names, virgin sacrifices, arranged child marriages,
etc)
#14 Delusions of Grandeur - Built into every mythology 9religion,
cult) that claims only
its' followers will go to heaven (or whatever name they give it ) or
achieve a higher plane of existence. Also stems from the belief of a
soul and that people are somehow more than mortal. It is also why it
is so easy to use religion to get people to go to war or to look the
other way when atrocities are being committed especially when
committed on members of other religions or cults or against people
with no religious beliefs. Slavery, torture, etc. Has a tendency to
lead to racism.
#15 Paranoia - Some sort of religious or cult entity is always
watching or waiting to take
over. Ever wonder where the idea for 'big brother' came from? Often
used to produce fears in order to prey off of them.
#16 Multiple Personality Disorder - Duality. Constant struggle
between
'good' and 'evil' inside everyone. It is probably a case of
transference. Has been a trait of several entities in various
mythologies (religions, cults). Sometimes even called a 'power' or
ability.
#17 Sexism - See delusions of grandeur above. Built into most
mythologies (religions,
cults) as either a male god or a male god as head of the set of gods.
Also applies to the Amazonian type scenario.
#18 Hallucinations - Visions and the like. Prevalent in many, if not
all, mythologies
(religions, cults). Various mythologies (religions, cults) have used
drugs (psychotropic or psychoactive) or starvation to aid in causing
them. This includes near-death type 'experiences'. They stem from
whatever a particular mythology (religion, cult) programs into its'
followers that they should see when taking part in a particular
ritual
abuse. The fear of reprisal or punishment or banishment if not seen
also aids in this. Where there have been various choices of visions,
the hallucination will be the one that the person most wants to see.
Basically mind fucking themselves. (This would be the same for curses
and the like also).
Mythology is basically taking a natural occurrence and attributing it
to a supernatural
entity or concocting one to explain it. See above. However the so-
called
'powers' usually stem from the "My god is more powerful than yours"
type of childish gibberish. Which also plays a part in the delusions
of grandeur mentioned above.
Those not under attack by the psychotronic weaponry, if reading this
or certain words in it 'trigger' a response, that is another part of
religious programming. Religions (mythologies, cults) have been doing
this since way before the Pavlov or ' Manchurian Candidate'
experiments were done.
Those under attack by the psychotronic weaponry, reading this may
cause a specific torture technique to start by the attackers. Could
range from words to phrases to images to mood manipulation to pain
attacks. This may also be a combination of the attacks to amplify
pre-existing religious programming in order for the attackers to prey
upon what religion has already done.
