God's Offer of Freedom

Gods Offer of Freedom

I do not want your obedience. I want your autonomy. If you choose obedience then I cannot help you and you're on your own"

This is saying, God has given us the freedom to choose how we conduct our lives. But instead the majority of people choose obedience.

This is the primary sin - to choose obedience over autonomy. All other sins are relatively small derivatives. And if you keep committing it, all the rest are inevitable anyway. This primary sin is the robber who takes all that is left.

This is not to say God is angry with us. It is to say he washes his hands. For there is nothing he can do if he gave us the freedom to make that choice. He will just move on to the next planet in the hope of finding a wiser great masse of people.

"It's no use me giving you your freedom and then following that up with a set up rules you must follow to get into heaven.

You either choose freedom or commit a terrible self induced mistake. You may well say that God never owned the freedom to give away in the first place, I hear you. But this presupposes that God is outside of you". I Am.

As you know I have no religion. But I'm acutely aware of what these stories, like the story of God, are intended for in the context of the great masse of people. Stories or other tools which convey meaning well, give the individual immediate visibility into the psyche of the universe - call this visibility a singularity.

The value in these stories is that you do not need a guru, teacher, to practice it or education to gain access to them. You see it immediately in an instant, or you do not. Time and education are are problem because they give you time to escape from seeing it.

If you choose freedom, you will see the singularity instantly. If you choose obedience, you will not see it, ever. This is God's Offer of Freedom.

This rumour about God is important in every society as a semiotic story about something important pointing toward meaning which we can all unite around. It is not ideal, but is better than the available alternative.

You know I'm not a fan of stories. But society needs a strong story it can get behind and rely on to carry it through.

It is this kind of story, and its use, which modern political actors are trying to crush.

PETITION: Government to Indicate Countries of the UK Are Open to Accede to the US

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states. Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or England were to leave the United Kingdom, it would end their system of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy . Instead, if they joined the United States as separate states, they would govern themselves under the U.S. federal system while receiving its protection. This proposal recognises that immediate change is unlikely but urges a serious conversation to addres...

Facing Draco, Mining Dorado - The 2026 Great Recession

This is a proposal to show how the 18.6 year real estate cycle is a hang over from times where the mechanics of the lunar month were used by high priests of the time to forecast ancient agricultural cycles - what we would today call a business cycle always culminating in a financial crisis and great recession. The 18.6 year astronomical period is governed by the intersection of lunar and solar eclipses. It is known scientifically as the Saros Cycle. Where all 3 harmonics of the orbit of the moon coincide once every 18.6 years. The ancient scholars knew this and had been measuring it for aeons. And the politicians of the time used it to name the day when the economy had to be deliberately reset by fiat. This reset was necessary because they noticed around 19 years is as long as an economy can survive when being unjustly abused by its people. Any longer making it too late to recover on its own. And without the reset much worse effects emerge. They knew this. They did not know why. They j...

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview?

Who Said There Was Anything Wrong With a Worldview? I didn't. But it's when I believe my worldview, is truth, that I become violent without realising it. This is extremely hard for people to accept as possible. The resistance to seeing it and the temptation to escape from looking, is built into its foundations. So, I never said worldviews are bad for us. I did say that when I believe my worldview is a fact, then "I" become root cause of the worlds problems. Thought creates an image of the world. Then thought worships the image that thought created. I am scared of death. So I create an existential worldview about immortality - an image. This can be a God, a political ideology, scientific religiosity, atheism, planet saving activism, anything which my fear of death can hide behind. So if I do 'good' through this image I created, I will ultimately get a 'seat on the right hand side of God' , or whatever the image I created has defined as heaven. Then I w...
