Hey, there Steemit...In this year's post, I'll link a video below on Krishnamurti and add my commentary on it which is relevant to this post.
I might get the odd Yogic religionist disputing my take on things so I'll add this here for reference:
What Krishnamurti was suggesting is likely this. But first, one needs to understand that his mind went through the analytical school's types of thinking and criteria. In light of that, he knew that no one on earth could demonstrate, in a scientifically acceptable way (process), the claims of subtle energies. To do so would mean repeatable and verifiable evidence by skeptical peers that an injunction or claim has 'passed' the scientific method. For whatever reason, NO ONE on earth has done this!
Ken Wilber has a good paper on the post-metaphysics of subtle energies if anyone is interested.
I'm a Christian Gnostic so we have a simple answer to all these claims of metaphysical power: BULLSHIT!
I should mention also that the rise of post-secularism is a control gambit of the archons who have used religion as a cover for millennia and won't hesitate to continue their pontificating metaphysical bullshit for political control and power. This is what the recent postmodern conservatism and religious nationalism is about: warring against the secular rule which came about via the liberal enlightenment. Yes, it does have its problems especially, in my opinion, liberal economics, but at least secularism offers rational protections against irrational (and untrue) and unverified religious claims...There have indeed been a few yogis who opened themselves up to the scientific method and were able to demonstrate some remarkable ability to control and alter physiology, but very few is the operative word. Even Ken Wilber has altered his brainwave state via intentionality. BUT!!! THIS IS IN NO WAY EVIDENCE FOR SUBTLE ENERGIES/KUNDALINI/OR THE CHAKRAS with all their manipulative claims about souls and reincarnation. This aspect of their religion is archontic bullshit! Even if reincarnation turns out to be true I would still argue it's only assholes who would do a 100% memory wipe of past lives. A GOOD GOD or decent archons would give us complete memory of 1 in 10 lives-- to give some context to this incarnation...
NOPE! We don't get that! ERGO: assholes!
How easy has it been for The Cabal to control humanity? Well, pretty damn easy! But before I get into that I'll mention that I've given due consideration to the materialist atheist worldview in this series and find it wanting especially concerning the behavior of The Cabal--which I've asserted is toxic and Machiavellian. Certainly, what's a fact is that the Cabal exists and operates regardless of humanity's ontological and metaphysical condition--and the denial of this fact by the secular community is a cowardice betrayal of the human condition, IMO...And so we move on to other speculations...
Our memory was wiped at birth! That's correct...someone or something has wiped memory from our incarnations here at birth (not necessarily an endorsement of reincarnation), add to this that humans are born helpless for almost one-third of their life; that most humans are non-violent in their relations to other humans ( it's how we survived as a species), and the conditions are now ripe for a small group of deviant psychopaths to seize control of the life and economic systems on this planet--and this appears to be exactly what's happened. They've set up mass systemic apparatuses of religious and financial control all enforced by violent coercion and unnecessary exploitation.
The house always wins! This is a fact of economics when economics is controlled by a Cabal--and it's not random that the economic model for the earth is now patterned on the casino: With a few notable exceptions, the house always wins - in the long run - because of the mathematical advantage the casino enjoys over the player. That is what Mario Puzo was referring to in his famous novel Fools Die when his fictional casino boss character, Gronevelt, commented: "Percentages never lie. We built all these hotels on percentages. We stay rich on the percentage. You can lose faith in everything, religion and God, women and love, good and evil, war and peace. You name it. But the percentage will always stand fast."
And there you have it: the near-total rationalization of pathological dominator hierarchy! Welcome to the machine. The question now is how the hell do we free ourselves from this systemic control? Well, if I knew the answer to that! But one thing I'm sure of is the solution is not based within any kind of New Age spirituality (or otherwise) which places the burden of this toxic condition on any person especially when that approach is always premised on dubious metaphysical and unprovable spiritual claims, no--systemic solutions are needed as that is what the Cabal controls--the systems, and we need to change their toxic systems of control!
A note that I need to finish up my assessments of religion from earlier posts. We'll get there! Next up will be why Islam is not the answer to our current predicaments! And we'll get to Hinduism and Buddhism. And yes, E.T. theory and cryptocurrencies.
