One can see how
the first commandment presents unilateral obedience to an absolute
authority. Love is promised for those
who abide. However love cannot exist
absent mutual vulnerability. Love can
only exist when chosen; a choice cannot be made without free will.
Therefore one
could argue that the idea of an infallible theist-god (an interactive god as in
the bible) is incapable of love. The
entity does not first exist in time. The
being always was and will be and is therefore parallel rather than tangent to
time. The god knows and is part of all that ever was, is and will be. Therefore the god does not have the platform of choice for a before, during and
after for a choice to take place. The god does not possess the vulnerability of
the unknown due to the foreknowledge of any outcome by nature of such a god’s
omnipotence.
Free will is
biblically presented as granted by god,
yet it is the one psychological construct that such a god beyond time could not possibly possess. Free will is an inherent balance of genes and
memes being weighed in the cerebral cortex of a human or the parallel brain of
an organism performed in time. To assign
free will to such a god is
anthropomorphizing the deity as one might do with a talking ocean. The paradigm is inapplicable and can only be
contrived as an illusion. Any
pronouncement appears as a realization by the non-deity, but is merely a
reflecting shard of a constant encompassing all from the perspective of such a
deity.
Choices cannot be
made in all-time at once. At the moment
of being made, choices are simultaneously yet-to-be made and been-made. This displays the prelude and the epilogue
outside of space-time. Such a god would have to exist outside of
space-time. For if such a god created space-time, implying
space-time has a beginning and such a god
is inside space-time, then the god
created itself. This would be an
infinite regress.
In a paradigm
outside of space-time (where time is irrelevant) for such a god, everything that ever was or will be
occurs in a single instant platform. Therefore
what we perceive as time is entirely inapplicable. (i.e. There is no past, present, or future
only what is as everything.) Inside
space-time, like a human viewing the past through light traveling from a star,
the appearance of a now is an illusion dependent on vantage point of the
processing unit (i.e. the brain of the viewer.)
If one was ever to
be outside of space-time and become an observer of the universe, and assuming the
boundlessness or bound could be held in one’s palm, the bauble viewed would be
in dimensions unfathomable by humans.
The universe would simultaneously be all width, length, height of all of
the atoms as either mass or energy at all moments of time occupying every
coordinate of space-time each atom has ever, is, or will ever inhabit.
One can ponder in
such scenarios that this might be held by a being called god or by a being in
another tremendous loop of energy and matter to regress until such a god is
uncovered. One can fathom the infinity
of there being no end. One can fathom
that the totality of energy and mass inside space-time is god, that we are that
which we seek; we are god in a pantheistic epiphany. To ponder any is irrelevant as the result in
humanity is what it is absent additional evidence despite the names attached.
When god is seen
everywhere and defined as everything, the concept of god loses all credence as
what traditionally defines god. When a
human says, god is energy; god is love; god is the flow; god is the all; god is
the universe; these are actually statements of an atheist. God has lost all meaning. Words have become flappable amorphous
mutations appearing like a squeezed salve to caulk every aperture.
The symbol of a
soul was established as a scorecard documenting the record of judicial debates
of elected volition. The soul post-death
is converted as a vehicle of transference to provide eternal consequence. This is meant to act as the deciding
fifty-first percentile vote for lifetimes of decision making resulting in
obedience with the primary commandment and ensuring control over human
volition.
The classic
cosmological argument has been made to assert basically that something outside
of existence must have created existence, but that regresses into an infinite
loop of who caused the causer. (How did god come to be outside of
space-time?) The concept of boundless
and beginning-less space-time makes more logical sense independent if there was
ever a force, presence, or god unlinked to the impetus relevant to the process.
If the universe
always was on a platform of space-time supporting some measure of energy which
was transferable into a measure of mass in at minimum the four dimensions of
length, width, height, and time on an atomic level than all that ever will be
always was in the allotment of that pool of energy and mass. What comprises each of us today was in
that. Every cell of our body, assuming
we are at least eight, was not present during our fertilization or birth. The elements in our body are shared with our
planet and the atoms with our universe.
If the universe
never began, then we never began. So in
when we were conceived, we were not created.
The atoms in our parents merely shifted as a half chromosome allotment
gamete from each of them became our first cell.
Our parents were created from their parents into an atomic-level regress
going back to the creation of the universe which never began. The atoms in all of these bodies move in and
out from living humans to any potential piece of the universe. This has always gone on in each of us.
We are genetically
our parents and to a degree we are atomically our parents for a time. We are also a constant transposing mix. Part of us may be shared with a shark from
ten thousand years ago, an alien from a planet a billion light-years away, or a
rock at the bottom of the ocean. Part of
us may be an atom in another being a million years from today.
Atoms know not
time or the limits of self. In this way
we are truly physically interconnected. When an atom is destroyed the mass converts to
energy, that energy has the potential to once again become mass. We are recycled temporal vessels awaiting
reuse.
6
There is no self
or individuality when we see the universe on an atomic level. There is only energy and mass creating the
illusion of severable organisms. We may
cease respiration. Our cognitive
function will end so that our volition is truncated with a last thought and
choice, but during this life we do have volition, we do have choice.
However as we did
not come into existence at birth, we do not cease existence at death, because
there is no we, there is no us. There is
no I. There is no you. Physically there is only the universe, the
everything, and what we choose to call pieces of the universe as we rearrange
our atomic parts temporarily capable of wielding volition.
We only bear the
illusion of individualism based on the vehicle of an organism with cognitive
function allowing sensorial reception and volition. Humans can fathom an after-life. Some may imagine a heaven of beauty in a paradigm
of our five senses acquired based on volition.
Most people would
probably treat this as a best interpretation.
We know bodies decay in organic permanence. What many may mean to express is an ethereal
spiritual rejoining to what some dub god in a realm beyond the limited human
senses in a paradigm we are incapable of fathoming, which cannot interface with
our universe. This would be a presence
outside of space-time.
If there is a
physical after-life one might imagine it is on an atomic level of which we are
experiencing it now as we have done before and will do again. Our brains truncate function at death, therefore
our grouping holding our current concept of self can never be privy to this
explanation in memory. However, as the
atomic collection we held at birth is long-gone, the collection we hold at the
time of our death will commensurately shift despite those atoms being in a
non-breathing organism.
So in whatever we
fear of death, we have already experienced on a physical level. What we experience as rebirth, we as an
“individual” (meaning some assortment of atoms which have been part of what we
think is “us”) has already moved on and into other amalgamations in the
universe which may include other humans currently living or dead piloting
volition.
Under this premise
the totality of energy equaling mass times the speed of light squared in the
boundless universe functions like a grand finite equation. Einstein’s equation is not the equation of
everything that the Higgs particle and field of how mass is added on a
subatomic level may lead, but the idea inside the current human comprehension
of physics is critical. Therefore what
we are, were, and will be continues to recycle for an infinite iteration over
boundless or bound space-time, where maybe this finite equation defines god to
some in a pantheistic notion.
7
The x-factor in
these iterations is volition. An ant has
a manner of volition, despite adherence to pheromones. Does our volition matter to a presence beyond
space-time? Even if our volition does
matter, why is it important that we as humans be concerned with the whim of
such a potential presence? The Meme
certainly is obsessed with volition as the nemesis to all human culture.
If that presence (god) cannot interface with space-time, then
any religion is an unproven hypothesis.
The specifics beyond human assumption that “moral” is preferable to such
a god are entirely guesswork. To go
further without evidence is detrimental and a goose chase.
One might think it
better to set the unanswerable aside as hypothesis rather than conclusion and
simply be the good for intrinsic ration.
This is atheism. Some may costume
the idea as agnostic deism, but this requires the faith that the presence definitively
exists. An atheist states there is no
evidence that the presence exists. Therefore
an atheist does not conclude it or anything exists outside of space-time, but
if such empirical evidence did surface, an atheist would reconsider.
Humans are also
only aware of a tiny fraction of the content in our potential space-time
universe. One can imagine our universe
may be one of many like sheets of paper comprised of alternate frequencies of
space-time in an infinite count. The
universes may be perpetually parallel incapable of interface residing in a
severable platform of space-time. If
moments of tangency or forces approaching each other as the universes exist
like waves were possible to affect the others, the reverberation produced may
initiate the contraction of a boundless universe or produce an equally
incomprehensible result. In any of
these, the hypothesis of a presence (god) outside of space-time remains roughly
the same absent empirical evidence of interface beyond faith or the non-answer
of agnosticism.
One might also
find that if such a presence found preference for arcane or harsh elections
through volition, one might prefer a rebellion through goodness. One while living may think this was desired
by god, but in truth angered god. One
might also find despair at such a presence’s ambivalence in a similar manner
the way humans may have, do, or will pray to the sun, moon, or rock formations. In each iteration what we may actually be
worshiping is the human-ego. To
anthropomorphize god into a mirror of us and assume that such a presence would
think and operate in a human-paradigm is the ultimate solipsistic arrogance to
see humans as special or pertinent.
Human hypothesis
on god is a confusing spectrum which creates apples to oranges comparisons for
this treatise. The first commandment
assumes an interactive god, which is
a greater leap then the typical agnostic not-sure abiders to the classical
cosmological argument entertain. For the
purposes of this treatise the term god
will refer to a theist interactive iteration, which is interactive with
space-time. The non-italicized god will
refer to a non-interactive variation.
The idea that god
is the universe, energy, or exists in some dimension beyond human comprehension
outside of space-time incapable of or choosing not to interact with the human
universe is a possibility no human should have the audacity to bear knowledge
of existence or not. Definitively asserting
to such or the nonexistence of such represents a grand arrogance. However, there is no evidence that such a god
outside space-time exists or that belief in such a non-interactive god is in
any way relevant to any human choice or activity. Therefore stating nonbelief absent definitive
evidence is atheism.
The partitioning
of the idea that one should place value in faith (i.e. a good in belief in a
non-empirically-evidenced presence in or outside of space-time) is a
manipulative tool of the Meme. This
distorts volition to make malleable humans.
One is to believe that one may regret the absence of such faith
post-death or in the future. This
implies vengeance and insecurity that mirrors humanity, not the logical
inference of a symbolic ego in a presence attributed with the creation of life
and the laws of the universe.
The point of this
treatise is not to argue whether any deist-style god outside of space-time exists,
only that if one did not, human activity would result in the same end if the
god did. Basically any form of
non-interactive god is irrelevant on our known paradigms. Behaving to please or interface with such a
being is moot and a waist of precious time given there is no evidence that such
a being exists, has preferences, or what those preferences are.
Many humans may
assume we should treat others the way we would like to be treated with peace,
love and a cognizance of our interconnection.
Whether this pleases such a conceptual god or not, may or may not
matter, but as far as humanity is concerned this seems like a decent recipe for
a better world for all. The Meme however
spreads other ideas.
To imagine an
omnipresent omnipotent voyeuristic god
is to imagine a neurotic capricious power-drunk authoritarian swapping from
friend or foe depending on compliance with arcane dogma. This is just the kind of representative men
who grow to run countries, militaries, and multinational billion-dollar
corporations harvesting the volition of humanity would install as it is
reflective of the qualities required to accomplish such domination based on the
parallel lie of a verified deity.
The culpability
for the macro level decision trees to enact such events is diffused through so
many wills that whistle blowers are treated like Edward Snowden and Chelsea
Manning and thrown in prison. Those
murdering and violating constitutions are consistently pardoned behind the veil
of statehood. Holding national security
administration officials, pedophile priests, congress, or multinational chief
executive officers and prominent shareholders accountable is far riskier to the
Meme.
Conviction shines
light on the exploitation of human and civil rights and defalcating trillions
in the global economy by religious and governmental control systems. Sentencing a man to a life sentence or death
for one gunshot or the theft of two-hundred dollars at a convenience store is
standard practice. Imprisoning humans
for systematic hatched-plans resulting in the distant death of thousands or the
exploited profiteering or direct fraud of billions of dollars is considered
obscene inside the Meme.
The key variable
is the direct versus indirect linkage of cause and effect. The subconscious mind acquiesces to distance
ourselves from being animals to become holy-images made in the likeness of god.
We are hesitant to investigate multi-level causations. Doing so risks unraveling society and diving
into the things we would be more comfortable not seeing under the surface of
our minds.

One is taught a
foul manner of love by the first commandment.
Like an abused spouse one is taught to be the submissive for the
dominant. We engineer ourselves to be
masochists. Those slipping behind the
curtain or passively working in the industries of public safety, energy,
finance, agriculture, housing and healthcare etc. intertwine good intentions
with perpetuating a system of control and exploitation.
This is done with
soldiers taking orders under the auspice of protection when the conflict is
often manufactured, futile, or a divergent objective rather than the human aid
that prompts fire fighters to rush into burning buildings. This is done with doctors concerned for their
patients performing surgery under hospital administrations with ramped costs in
every pill, medical device, and administrative fee inflating the system blamed
on elements like free-care for the Poor and frivolous lawsuits.
This is done with
every oil roughneck running pipe for crude to make ends meet for his family,
while that rig does not encompass its full environmental impact into its profit
equation included in its owner’s stock price or OPEC government’s people’s best
interest. This is done with every police
officer not speaking up behind the blue shield on the streets and in
incarceration facilities when the line between civil authority and tyranny is
crossed.
This is done with
the disregard for usury laws in complex derivative investments defaulting to
taxpayers in times of convenience and stockholders in times of luxury. Excessive interest is based on the difference
in rates for access to capital that banks borrow from governmental reserves and
then charge the public.
This is done with
tax subsides of corporations selling fighter jets to governments. This is done with farm bills incentivizing
mono-crops of corn and soybeans using GMO hybrids to subsidize a fast-food
culture demolishing our health and healthcare system. This is done with fines for a foreign
corporation polluting the entire Gulf of Mexico less than the profit that
company makes in an average annual quarter.
This is done with
minimum wages adjusted for inflation less than fifty years ago and
shrinking. This is done with auditors
sanctifying the accounting. This is done
to consolidate the measure of wealth retained by those in control and expand
their power while avoiding uprising at every turn. This is done to maintain the hierarchy
evolving to do what the Meme we have installed has instructed us to do so that
we do not revert to anarchy.
For the god of the first commandment is a
paranoid god, incapable of true love. So
are those that use this commandment to their advantage. Look at the panic in the stock market
evaluating in a frenetic pulse. Prices
fluctuate based on rhetorical sentiment and large scale overly simplified
rationale despite hyper-evolution of nanosecond computational algorithms to consummate
buy or sell decisions which are so often independent of human intervention and
supposed to be correlated with the actual audited financial statements of the
entity.
The price of oil
on the planet is explained as increasing not on supply and demand, but on
temporary exploitable panic to explain the price the market can extract. Like the medical system it does not matter
what the product costs to provide, the crucial variable is how much the cartels
holding the industries hostage get humans to sacrifice before either a member
of the cartel jumps ship to lower their price for temporary advantage or
massive rebellion ensues.
OPEC and industries
will create shortages to maintain this type of control. The human detriment of fuel or a drug absent
from the marketplace for the short-term is small consequence to the long-term
profit-potential of a sustainable market where everyone is happy with their
larger piece because of commiseration.
Political stories of the day are spun for the industry to extract more
deeply.
If one does not
believe this to be true simply look at the most profitable industries on the
planet and one will see finance, energy and pharmaceuticals. Certain industries have more precarious free
market variables, which lead to higher public subsidization, which leads to
higher profit opportunities to hide this reality. An industry’s profit potential is often
directly correlated with the level of fear the industry commands when players,
including governments, consider the consequence of its potential absence. This is to some degree the definition of a
price.
Health is not a
free market good. Healthy humans do not
indulge in additional healthcare for recreation. The polarity of healthcare is reversed from
the traditional free-market economy.
Banks borrow money from taxpayers and lend it back to us at
exponentially higher rates. Energy
companies extract finite planetary assets and should be held as a form of
caretaker of that resource, yet so often behave as if management owns the
planet and should not be held accountable to that role when found to be
negligent by the social and legal contracts of caretaker whether it be Alaska
or Bhopal.
Energy, health, and
public safety are false free-markets.
Purchasers do not really have choice; only an illusion of choice. The price per gallon at the gas pump is a
relative uncontrollable purchase. The
price for medical care is not communicated beforehand or often an option. Citizens cannot veto the purchase of a
missile, its firing, or the wage of the humans facilitating its launch. The majority of the U.S. and global economy
operates in such prestidigitation of quasi-choice.
The arrogance to
ignore these interconnections under the Meme is to assume the reign of god on Earth. (i.e. We (humans) are not choosing these
consequences, but this systematic output is the result of something outside
humanity (god).) This is the essence of the unloving that the
first commandment instills. The god is put before the others. Jesus attempted to clarify this with the
golden rule. However he also claimed to
be the infallible god purported to
espousing the initial commandment. Jesus
cannot disconnect the contradiction.
The lesson of the
first commandment is love for these reasons.
If we love ourselves and others innately for who we are, not what we are
convinced that we are, then we can shed the divisions of religion, race,
gender, politics, education, and ethnicity to see bare humanity, including the
core risk shared by all living beings without panicking into chaos.
This is made more
difficult by the concept of a partial god
beseeching our mental labor to segregate redefining love as something that is
not love. Our volition is watered-down
into bloodless wine until we are a besotted lot sabotaging our happiness for
the enrichment of those profiteering off the Meme’s perpetuation. All of this is done into bank accounts most
of us will never witness.
This leaves little
doubt that we are the god referred to in the commandment, but this does not
make us god. All correlated blessings and punishments,
roles of oppressors and oppressed, we do to ourselves. This is human love’s contract flawed and
frangible not to exploit, but to install order under the surface, which is why
we as a collective super-organism choose over and again continued
participation.
We invent a mixed
image of god’s absolute
goodness. Absolute evil is thrust into
the construct of a devil to rationalize godly love. Disassociating perniciousness from god and transplanting such elections
into the character of satan bifurcates the volition of god. A perfect (i.e.
sinless) god is thus functionally
inept of this duality, yet if such a convenient machine as the devil is
available, such an instrument’s viability is a function of god’s allowance. Such a
device would be limited to a paradigm tangent to humanity. Like a nuclear launch button, omnipotent god need only figuratively press for any
such anti-god’s encapsulation of evil to be obliterated.
Therefore, one
cannot disavow this god of
culpability. Attributing perfection and
benevolence to such a loving Lord-god
are problematic. This is choosing to see
a portrait with one eye closed or to view the image from the waist up. The god
might have a head, torso, arms, but no genitals or legs. Biblical tomfoolery may imagine a back of
angel’s wings and goat legs. Each party
may own a gonad. There may be a halo of
horns and hand holding a pitchfork-harp etc.
This
anthropomorphized amalgamated holy-monstrosity is but preposterous to imagine
except for the human demand to see portioned flocks of angels and devils
serving as enslaved-militias for masters bearing the ideal of each set of
personified absolutism.
The sooner
humanity sees the nonsense in play; the sooner we take the reins on the runaway
carriage of our volition before we careen into the valley of extinction. We plunge in a democracy based on assumptions
that a single vote makes no difference.
Negating our volition to negligible contribution bonds humanity with
shackles in a burning prison. The crux
is visualizing that no key need exist.
