Before we can concretely approach this it must be seen that this has nothing directly to do with beliefs and why the trust in beliefs must be let go. I need to make this completely clear. The trust in beliefs that still pervades our culture is actually a trust in the reality of and superiority of what we think of as higher levels of reality. We think having a strong belief about something is empowering because 'belief' is itself on a higher level than other kinds of thought or feeling. As a species we phylogenetically associate belief, consciously or unconsciously, with higher levels of reality in the reality-hierarchy. The history-long human belief in higher spiritual realities has given belief itself a magical higher quality. Belief itself partakes of the higher reality. As a rule people don't experience the higher spiritual realities directly rather they 'believe' in them and this makes belief a magical thing. And even people who claim to have no belief in 'higher' reality still have a belief in belief. It has become a racial feature. Certain Christians will tell you that simply by believing in Jesus you are separated from the dark realm of sin. And it is certainly not only these Christians who believe in this magical power of belief. There are many agnostic or atheistic political activists who believe that they are made free from the control of the fundamental realities that terrorize the nihilist oligarchs by the simple fact that they have beliefs contrary to those of the oligarchs. The oligarchs know that this is not true. They know that activists are also afraid of reality and avoid conscious contact with it as much as possible. Again, the oligarchs know the name of the game which is why they are so good at controlling human societal activity.
Before examining more closely the structure of a human being, I want to ask a question that will lead me into that examination with more force and depth of meaning: Why is the history of civilization mostly a history of hierarchical tyranny? And why does the presence of highly developed spiritual religions and philosophies in those civilizations do almost nothing to mitigate this fact of hierarchical tyranny? The answer to this is actually obvious if one can get around the blinding bias that spiritualism itself stands on. I am referring to the bias that claims that spirit or non-material reality is innately superior to material reality. In all religions and spiritual philosophies, we are taught that spirit precedes, and often creates, and gives its value to material reality. Spirit is emphatically superior and deserves the obeisance of the lower material reality. This automatically creates a hierarchical structure in perceived reality itself. The society that models itself on this perceived pattern of reality is automatically hierarchical and power-oriented. This is the society ruled by priests and kings whose rule reflects the greater reality-rule of spirit in whatever form. This may strike some readers as a rather old and even primitive model for society, but I will show you how we are still total slaves to this view of reality and how this problem is related to our very structure as a human being.
To this day humans find it practically impossible to formulate a society that is not hierarchical and power-oriented and this is still based on the bias that reality itself has a hierarchical structure that cannot be violated without dire consequences for the perpetrators of such a crime. There has to be a hierarchical structure with power at the top or things will simply fall apart into chaos and nightmare. The persistent trust in 'belief' is related to the ancient human belief that in the hierarchy of reality the upper spiritual realm which is masculine in essence is superior to the lower material realm which is feminine in essence. Light and life are 'up' (spiritual/sky) and darkness and death are 'down' (material/earth). This is the ancient human perspective, going back to pre-historical communities, that led not only to hierarchical tyranny in general, but also specifically to the degradation of women and the feminine. And to the paralyzing FEAR OF DEATH. The common means of taking the fear out of death has been to see it as an experience of spirit disembodiment of some sort with the material aspect of the human being completely discarded and forgotten. This perspective ensures that the material realm is seen as not ultimately important. There is no religious or spiritual philosophy which teaches that it is proper to retain consciousness of one's material aspect even after death and to assume responsibility for it as part of REALITY even after death. There is a phylogenetically ingrained disrespect for material reality and therefore for women and the feminine in general. The only way to overcome the global material and psychic contagion of the nihilism of the oligarchs which is the same sickness that plagues all humanity is to return to our original structure and end the fear of death in ourselves that has plagued humanity from pre-historic times to the present day where that fear is threatening to terminate civilization. It is the fear of death and the persistence of the hierarchical view of reality that allows the oligarchs to control the world. You cannot shake off the oligarchic power because you cannot shake off your own fear that they wield against you. They don't have to do anything but keep you in a state of fear of reality.
We must look at the divided human structure of soma (material form) and psyche (non-material form) and how they relate to each other and to consciousness; and how fear comes to dominate the entire structure. PART THREE of this article will be about how to consciously enter your own original birth structure and begin removing the fear of reality.
