To Fear the Lord
Whichever force has the most causative power over you is your lord. For anyone who is of this world, that makes Darwinian evolution your lord. After enough time living in and observing this world, the proper response to being a subject of this lord should be fear and horror. This is the beginning of wisdom.
In order to rectify this position of insecurity and vulnerability, the self must simply become subject to something which has more causative power than Darwinism. The conscious self must be able to recognize and hold this truth.
From the position of the outside observer, the conscious self doesn’t know one way or the other if the self is capable of transcending Darwinism. Extraordinary people can be easily observed, but it’s unclear from the outside if any of these people have truly transcended the lord of this world.
If there is an aspect of the self which is transcendent and remarkable in this way, then the conscious self can identify with it in order to actualize it. The more the conscious self identifies with it, the more it can become actualized, and the more it becomes actualized, the more the conscious self can identify with it — to whom much is given, even more will be given.
The reality of this transcendent aspect of the self is a central claim of Christianity. Its relationship to the soul is what makes this aspect of the self remarkable.
Still, another central claim of Christianity says that only those chosen by the father will actualize this ability of transcendence. For the ones who are chosen, the conscious self will believe in and identify with the potential of the self like a loving father believes in his son.

penitence is a good thing... Pride is a disease.
This mindset alone doesn’t transcend Darwinism. The self must be exalted. Both the up and the down are necessary as they depend on each other.
The one who digs the deepest is the one who first ascends.
So many live in a bubble of false comfort which needs to be pierced by acknowledging the reality of living in a ruthless, Darwinistic world. Reality checks are a helpful wake-up-call. You don’t matter much at all as simply another animal in this hostile world.
Once this reality is fully appreciated and held in conscious awareness, then you can realize the necessity of identifying with the self which is holy, has limitless potential, and is capable of transcending Darwinism. If you have trouble holding the self in your mind, then you can use Jesus who represents the self + soul.
This is the reset point: re-establishing why you need to be in relationship with self and then continual self awareness / identification.

The self which identifies as holy and pure will be threatened with identity crisis by this Darwinistic world. Rather than face crisis, the self will have the impulse to hide in the darkness of non-existence, making your attempts at continual self awareness difficult. This is where self affirmation becomes necessary.
What about that part where the self is an evil wretch tainted by original sin and needs a supernatural savior as the only way to not be destroyed in hell?
Can the self transcend Darwinism?
You seem to fail on candor about what you are spieling, and pass with flying colors on "The Language of Fanaticism" (those types that are revealing the inner thoughts of god just, you know, because they are).
I don't know, but you think you do.
Is the desire for meaning and the longing for unity in service to perpetuating genetic material into the future?
I know because I’ve lived it. I’m not going to be apologetic about what I’ve done because it triggers some anti Christian ideologue who is too cowardly to acknowledge the reality of the supernatural.
Proverbs 9:10
King James Version
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
You will die and go to hell and be in the lake of fire forever after the resurrection of the dead if you don't believe on his Son's name (his Son Jesus).
I am afraid... you are Living in Hell.
The idea of Hell or Heaven is one of psychological perspective.
If you are a tortured soul... living in lust, regret, desire... or any of the deadly sins, you are in HELL.
Hell takes place in the Brain and the Psyche... as does Heaven and Peace.
Many enter into Christianity through social influence. Some enter into Christianity because they are called.
Only a few are chosen. I am a teacher only for the chosen.
What you've lived is a narrative in your head assigning the spiritual and life meaning to one of the proposed gods. You have nothing to offer as to why that god is real, any more than all the other religions whose adherents have a narrative in their head about some other god. As I've said, when one chooses a god, that archetype comes alive in their belief system, in their psyche, in their inner narrative about what is happening in their life. In this sense, all the religions are both valid and invalid. As to you are one of the chosen ones of the one true god, just lol. "Koresh1120" is quite apt.
I never chose a god. I (consciousness) chose the self after my self came into being and refused to be denied. This is what it means for the self to be chosen.
Your self occupies the darkness of non-existence while you (consciousness) attend elsewhere. Your self allows itself to not be chosen.
This is how reality actually works. Truth is only accessible through the chosen.
Does anyone here get it? Consciousness is the light. It’s not just at the end of life that you have to choose to go toward the light. In order to not be a walking-dead-zombie like so many, you (self) have to go toward the light (consciousness) in order to enter into life. The Creator has designed life this way, so that you have the choice to live or not.
I am what it looks like when the self chooses life fully and is chosen by the light.
No matter how many philosophers you read. No matter how devoted you are to rituals and practices. No matter how many degrees you have. No matter how many podcasts you listen to. No matter what church you belong to.
None of this can compare to the self making a stand and saying, “No more half measures and no more non solutions.” This move is the rock on which the new kingdom is built.
It’s estimated that thousands of species have gone extinct just within the last 500 years. This is the world we live in. It’s the path we have collectively prepared for our human descendants - destruction and death. It’s what the Darwinian story offers.
If you have the opportunity to transcend Darwinism, lead the way toward a better path, and you don’t do it — that is a betrayal. It’s a betrayal not only of your loved ones and descendants, but of your ancestors who sacrificed for your opportunity.. which is an opportunity they didn’t have.
The Darwinian lord of this world is illegitimate. This is not how it’s supposed to be.
I’m not going to make a home under the lordship of an imposter. I’m not going to “make the best of it”. I’m not going to lighten up, go on vacation, or go to parties.
The kingdom of life will be restored to its rightful order in this world. Only then do I feast and drink in enjoyment.
Does a lion allow himself to be ruled over by a hyena?
Nothing causes the self to flare up more than belief in the truth which says, “If you do what is right, then you will be accepted.”
When the self gets reality checked, indicating rejection, and takes a stand in the place of defiance / justice, then the self faces the judge. A self who is unwilling to take the stand in front of the judge doesn’t truly believe in the aforementioned truth (“If you do what is right, then you will be accepted”).
A truth not believed in no longer is true.
The enemy tries to impede the self from contacting to this feeling of rejection by offering up victim narratives and scapegoats. The self must be disentangled from victimhood so it can connect with the feeling of rejection.
When you step forward and make your stand, in the place where Job stood, you are calling forth and picking a fight with the cosmic judge. You are saying no to the Creator.
When you step on the toes of the Creator and condemn his creation, you should expect the possibility you will be immediately destroyed and must make peace with this scenario. If God is evil, then it is dishonorable and immoral to live under his lordship. This is the truth Job understood.
To swallow 1st Century tales and prejudices is to refuse agency, to refuse individuality, to refuse self-expression, to refuse to take the journey within to identify the moral code there. It is the vice of forfeit of one's autonomy raised into a virtue of religious blind obedience.
