System Christianity Will Exempt None From The System's Inclusion Agenda

8/17/2021

Predictably, the Roman Catholic Church has declared it will not provide religious exemptions from the peck. Granted, there are some bishops here and there that have taken a stand against this, but it appears the majority within the church are ready and willing to deny their followers any exemptions from what the pope himself has deemed "a moral obligation."

Citing Aquinas's common good and the injunction of loving one's neighbor, the church seems committed to doing exactly what it did during the lockdowns and church closures of 2020 - namely, obsequiously obeying and parroting the anti-God global dictatorship and its diktat of none are safe until all are safe.

Other System Christian denominations are either already on the same page or will shortly be on the same page regarding peck exemptions.

Also, in a most serendipitous turn of events, Cardinal Burke - who is adamantly and vocally opposed to the totalitarian agenda and the peck - has apparently caught the birdemic bug and is reported to be on a ventilator fighting for his life. Needless to say, the System's media wasted no time drawing attention to the sweet irony of the 'conspiratorial' cardinal's supposed medical misfortune. 

Of course, none of the above should surprise anyone. We are currently in what I have described as the "siege" stage of the peck program. The main goal of the siege is to convince everyone to consent to the peck via the System's "think, feel, do" campaign - and religious leaders play a big role within the campaign's framework.

I believe all of what I have briefly outlined above - which is but a fragment of the siege and the Establishment's overarching goal to peck the entire world - is directly connected to the development of consciousness and the unfolding silent schism between System Christianity and Non-System Christianity. 

I am under the impression that Christians who continue to obediently follow their church leaders regarding the peck and other litmus test issues will remain grounded in "obedience" consciousness, in which they will continue to surrender freedom to an external authority for the purpose of providing for the greater good.

Christians at this level of consciousness generally do not and will not regard freedom as a high value, and will freely and willingly surrender it in exchange for other values they perceive to be higher than freedom - values such as safety, health, security, comfort, and convenience.

Christians possessing obedience consciousness interpret divine-human destiny largely as a matter of submission to the supreme authority of God via the external institutions that represent this supreme authority in the world. The institutions themselves are seen as the only meaningful way through which an individual can relate to God. The role of the divine is to dictate; the role of a good Christian is to obey.

Non-System Christians, on the other hand, are likely to nurture a consciousness attuned to freedom and love. Not freedom to do or love whatever the individual wishes, but rather freedom and love that is based on successful alignment of the divine self with God and the successful distancing of the objectification and determinism of the given world. Unlike obedience consciousness, "freedom" consciousness is at once autonomous, meaning it emanates primarily from the self, and also theandric, meaning it works jointly with the divine.

Simplified, System Christians believe man does not possess the potential or the capacity to become a co-creator with God. The best a Christian can do is to accomplish "good works" via obedience to the external, given world of the System. 

On the flip side, Non-System Christians recognize that most of the "good works" accomplished via obedience to the external, given world of the System are anything but "good" and understand that the current push to incorporate everyone and everything into the System is inherently evil. The true path of Christianity for Non-System Christians lies in freedom and love - that is, in the freedom to be "with" God, and in the love needed to be able to co-create with God. 

System Christians ultimately regard the inclusion agenda as vital to their faith whereas Non-System Christians know the inclusion agenda to be akin to spiritual death. 

Note added: The difference between System and Non-System Christians does not boil down to churchgoing and non-churchgoing, denominational or non-denominational, liberal or traditional. The difference boils down to motivation and thinking.

Very useful. I like the description of the whole mind set - and the contrast between the two mind sets.

I can see that the current situation has an extra sharpness because of the past 50-plus years of counterculture - mostly from the left. We have a situation now in which the left had apparently discredited all institutions - big corporations (especially Big Pharma) and international finance, and the governments that sustained 'capitalism'. The professions had been subverted (including medicine and the health care industry). And of course - first and foremost - the churches were very early declared to be tools of oppression and control merely. The deconstructing critique of the mass media was also developed by the left.

Then... these exact same leftists have been induced to embrace the validity and authority of all these institutions - and of institutions generally - they believe everything that Big Pharma says, that government doctors say, that the Pope declares... and so on.

Significantly the only business in my area that has imposed a masks only policy on customers is a cafe run by a 'collective' of pierced and tattooed folk who present themselves as ultra radical leftists. 'Yet' utterly believing in the narrative of global capitalist institutions.

This is why and how the left has become the primary agent of evil. Such is the dishonesty and self-justifying expedience, that the ideology/ idealism/ radical posturing has become nothing more than a cloak for evil.

@ Bruce - A great deal of it comes down to what you refer to as direct knowing - comprehending and trusting in genuine intuition rather than obviously dishonest external sources.

Concerning your excellent observation of the disconnect radical leftists display in their support of corporate narratives, I suspect it might have something to do with the impersonal nature of global capitalist narratives and the impersonal nature of corporations, institutions, and governments in general, which are all are ensconced in the "corporate person" mindset.

It appears the radical leftist mindset is not much different from the mindset driving corporate personhood - abstract rather than concrete, existing but not really existing, impersonal, altruistic but ruthlessly selfish, claiming to support freedom but aiming for slavery, anti-authoritarian yet strictly authoritarian, deeming to be tolerant yet utterly intolerant, downplaying profit-motives but driven to increase material gain, etc. And all of this in the name of the common good, of course.

@ Bruce - One more quick point. System Christianity is a corporate form of Christianity. The RCC, for example, is a corporate person. Christianity is diverging. Most Christians cannot conceive of religion beyond these corporate boundaries. A smaller group of Christians are following a more "personal" path.

Well said.

Also, I wanted to add that I intuited the word, "responsibility" attached to "freedom" above. Part of the problem with System Christians is the tendency to offload responsibility to Others (often, a bureaucracy). That was probably OK in Byzantium, but a terrible choice today (which is probably why the assumptions of Orthodoxy--church & state working together--can't work in our modern society). Our access to knowledge (whether this part of our spiritual maturing) is power, and power implicates responsibility. What could have been a spiritual flowering, has instead turned into an abdication of responsibility, leading into this totalitarianism. Wasn't this dynamic the essence of Solzhenitsyn's speech, "Men Have Forgotten God"? (https://orthochristian.com/47643.html).

So, this subtle substitution of spiritual values with materialist ones (ex: the NHS logo draped over the altar; masks in church; "sterilizing" the implements of communion) is probably the unfolding of the Great Apostasy. I do think--despite our differences in location and backgrounds--that we are on the same "wavelength." I'm still learning and struggling with the heavy burden of this spiritual responsibility. On the positive side: a burden is "lighter" (and ennobling) when we see meaning and purpose. Or, as Nietzsche wrote: "He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how."

@ Magnus - Yes, freedom entails personal responsibility - as well as restraint, discipline, etc. If these are lacking, freedom perishes.

If current times have revealed anything it is this - we must take personal responsibility of our lives and our souls. The external can no longer be relied upon or trusted.

Unlike most, I regard this as a positive development, especially for Christianity.
