The Speculation is Fact!!! Why? I thought of it. The only true fact is my arrogance.

This is my response to @jayanarchon in @deliberator's post Why Freemasons think lucifer got a bum deal.!. NWO news.. It began there, but kept growing in length. I thought I should make it into it's own post.

The thing about all of this demonic symbolism is it is all allegorical. Satanists and Lucifarians do not actually worship a deity. It is hard (especially for Christians) to grasp this concept, as the symbolism adopted has been done so to personify a direct antagonist of the Christian God. This has been done intentionally. The symbolism is becoming prevalent now in 'godly' religions because the same team controls both sides of the coin. I would go as far as to say that modern-day Christianity is a form of Lucifarianism.

All of this dark symbolism is used to conceal detailed knowledge of how the human body and psyche work. As well as knowledge of our universe, how our reality functions and true history. This is intentionally done to discourage the 'profane' from ever even looking into this information, which has been occulted.

Occult simply means hidden.

Thanks for the great post @deliberator!

First. I agree with the comment by @jayanarchon it was well written and pulled the following words flowing like a flood out of my mind.

They acquired this by copying Zoroastrianism. Judaism (i.e. the seed from which Christianity was birthed) began as true monotheism. There was no concept of hell, and there was no Satan/Lucifer bad guy. Just God. There was judgement in the afterlife, but there was no such thing as hell or a bad guy.

Then they mingled with Zoroastrians who were a far more prominent religion at the time. The Zoroastrians claim to be monotheists as well though they had the antagonist bad guy, and they had the concept of heaven and hell, salvation and damnation as we've come to know them.

It was after this intermingling that these concepts entered into Judaism. You could say that is when Satan/Lucifer as we know them was born and entered into the Canon along with the concept of Hell.

I personally consider Christianity, Zoroastrianism, etc to be polytheistic religions due to the need to set up a dichotomy. Satan is treated much like Lesser Gods were treated in any polytheistic religion. If you go to some offshoots or consider the concepts of Saints, Demons, and Devils these things all resemble Lesser Gods and or Demigods of Polytheistic faiths.

I do think Judaism was monotheistic prior to deciding it needed to copy Zoroastrianism.

Why would they copy Zoroastrianism? I doubt it was hard for them to notice how the threat of damnation was an extremely useful tool for controlling fellow humans.

So why don't we hear about this?

That is simple. The First Council of Nicaea formed some 300+ years after the birth of Christ was formed by the Roman Empire to create what we now know of as the Bible. They decided what works would go into the bible, which would not, and how to make them into a cohesive whole.

In other words, they were the early editors room. A lot of stuff ended up on the cutting room floor.

This happened again at the second council of Nicaea some two hundred years later. It happens again and again as people edit it, change words, and make it more palatable for their goals.

This is not unique to Christianity this editing and absorption of ideas and acting as though they originated from the thing that absorbed them. It is simply Christianity and Judaism that I personally know the history of the best.

You should try reading some really old bibles before King James edition if you have a chance. You'll find pro-slavery, rape, murder, and all kinds of things that have since been edited to be less harsh in language or description.

This is also why the Dead Sea Scrolls were such a big deal. They are works that survived the Nicaean purge of literature that didn't fit the desired narrative.

This is one of many reasons I am a Deist.

I do believe in a creator/catalyst I just don't believe it is any of the things people have written into books, or speculated/imagined/hypothesized and then passed off as fact.

I look around me at the wonders. I use reason. I learn the little parts of the closest thing to a bible I can find which is the mysteries of reality itself.

I am pro-freedom of religion. I don't mind people practicing whatever religion they want as long as they don't force me to follow it, or pass laws based upon its beliefs that apply some form of force to me or others.

However, I do see a danger in people pushing the Satan and Luciferian speculations (that is often what they are) and blaming everything on something that in my research is a construct and didn't initially exist. This type of drive has lead to the Crusades, The Inquisition, The Salem Witch Trials, persecution of the Cathars, etc.

Speculating that something you don't understand is the work of Satan and then treating it as heresy historically is a path that leads quickly down another path of intolerance based upon your IMAGININGS which you suddenly treat as real and fact. Bloodshed soon follows.

My belief in freedom of religion does not extend to supporting people vilifying ideas, tools, and speech they don't like. Even if they shroud it in the label of Satan, Lucifer, C'Thulhu, Baphomet, Baal, Beelzebub, Mars, Hades, Hel, Loki, Maeve, Morrigan, or any other label.

We as humans learn a great deal by speculating, then applying techniques to prove our speculations. These techniques are essentially what the scientific method is.

However, we also have a danger of taking shortcuts and deciding proof, testing, and revising are unimportant and just deciding our speculation is fact and the truth because it originated from within our mind. In arrogance we can consider it infallible as long as it originated within us. If we can then back this with Charisma, Intimidation, or Intelligence we may sway some people that is true. Especially, if we castigate them for questioning it.

We are really good at casting words that act as verbal grenades to try to shut down the non-believers. The only thing that really changes is which of our speculations we believe there should be no right to question or challenge.

I do believe in the concept of good, and evil. It just took me awhile to codify it down into something simple that works for me and doesn't require some anthropomorphized being that I can scapegoat it upon.

If you must use force to MAKE someone do something against their will when they are not harming anyone else PHYSICALLY or their property then that is an act of evil.

Voluntarism is the embodiment of good as far as I am concerned.

There are times we must use force. Yet the Non-Aggression Principle essentially defines that quite well. Self defense. Yet we don't view words as aggression like the growing group of people around the planet that view everything from the mentality of a victim. We can walk away from words. We can disagree with words. Words cannot force us.

We also must use force to teach our children. They are not born into this world with the ability to survive without our help. Part of their growth is in the womb, and a good portion is outside of it. We must tell them "You can't do that", "Don't touch that it is hot", etc.

How people rear their children is up to them, yet regardless of how you do it you do impose rules which are a form of force upon them. This is required for survival.

However, once they reach a state where they can survive on their own that RULES and FORCE must be withdrawn. You are no longer helping them by applying force. Finding out when this time is can be tricky and is subjective, and it can also be difficult to let them fly on their own.

They will be at risk. Life is risky. Freedom is risky. This is the nature of reality.

Looking for imaginary scapegoats to blame bad things upon is doing no one a service, and in the long run it often leads to persecution and bloodshed.

People need to start treating their speculations like possibilities, instead of certainties.

Some people will say "There is hell, I have seen it!" Yet, pick any religion they can say the same thing about their perceptions of what the afterlife will be. The truth of the matter is all of us can only speculate upon what the afterlife might be until we die. Each of us will get the chance to learn. We can speculate, we can learn, but we will not truly know until we die.

As to why some people see the Happy Hunting Ground, Valhalla, Hell, Heaven when they have something like a vision or a Near Death Experience. How can they all be true?

I can speculate. That is all it is. What if it is like a dream? You may see what you believe you will see, believe you deserve. Who knows... we'll find out if there is something to that speculation or not when we die.
