HIGHWAY 17 – THE CATHOLIC COUNTER-REFORMATION ON THE CONTINENT OF EUROPE
Copyrights, the Printing Press & the Return in Europe to Written Knowledge
Intellectual Euro man was attacking the entire controlling Pharisee underpinnings of the Catholic Roman Church’s rules and order, their laws. The printing press made this happen. Control of thought was now in the open and was able to be debated, that is until rules were made to stop people from meeting in groups of three or more in public. Thoughts were now able to travel and be read elsewhere by the population. It did not come and then go like they would with oral communication. The printing press was the birth of written thought that would withstand the passing of time. It was also the commercialization of written art.
The copyright laws would initially be created giving someone the right to copy and reproduce the written work. The rulers both Church and State did not like to have any opposition, any thoughts that were not part of the existing order’s dogma, so a law was created to control written thought and it was called the right to copy or copyright. You needed the states permission to copy the words and give them out to the public. Copyright then was not what it is today, the right to own a thought to prevent others from “stealing” your interpretation of that thought in reproduced communicated form. Then again, it was the right to copy regardless of ownership issues.
When writing first started being published by printing presses, it was like our present experience with the Internet. The ruling order did not know what to do or how to stop the sharing of thoughts, especially those that questioned the rule of those so in power because of lies and fears. The fear of those in the rule is what gives life to opposing thoughts. For if all is true, what do you have to be fearful about and why worry. The truth will always set you free. Easier said than done. Those in control will do whatever they can to keep the wrong set of rules controlling, for their greed has no boundaries.
Luther, the preacher, may have declared the pop culture church reformation on the 31st of October 1517, but there were authors who set the stage for Mr. Luther’s work. For there is no beginning, we are all a consciousness in one big circle of thought. This circle moves and so does our understanding of life. Understandings change as we grow.
Society needs to stop trying to control the illusions and disillusions we have with life. We need to perpetuate society. To do this, as humans we just need to create a fair and just system of rules and controls that perpetuates both the whole and allows the growth of the individual.
I feel it can be done by writing this historical review of highways that man creates from his imagination that have led only to dis-order and premature death of fellow Man. I believe in my heart that we can create the Heaven we were promised here on Earth when we accepted the duties required to make this land Heaven for all of us.
I am showing you the reader where every time we get close to sharing our wants and needs as equals, something came along and created currency boundaries that prevented the equal dissemination of thoughts and man’s common ideas. The printing press ended up being the new boundaries of love and the perpetuator of hate & fear for many a year.
The predecessors or prequels in movie terms as we review the visions of life here on Earth, to Luther were many and located all over Europe. As I said earlier, John Wycliffe was from the University in Oxford England and Jan Hus was from Prague. Hus, who was heavily influenced by Wycliffe, is credited with being the Godfather of the Bohemian Brethren. This Brethren is credited with being the first magisterial reformation of the Catholic Church’s golden rules.
In the 1400s when this movement started, the Ottoman Turks were on the move and threatening the stability of the many German providences rule and rulers. The controlling Catholic local order actually burned Hus at the stake, because his crime was that he wished the Catholic Church to readapt and create a more contemporary order. His trial and burning took place at the Council of Constance in 1415, the same council that went ahead and fixed the question of who was God’s Pope, as I said earlier there were two competing for the role.
In the areas we now know as Hungry, Czech, Slovakia and the immediate surrounding areas, the printing press gave birth to the dissemination of Hus’ ideas, after his ashes were left at the stake. The books that were printed in the mid 1450s with his thoughts were used to assemble the logic and create a new Church after his teachings called Hussite.
This Hussite movement was able to succeed for a while above ground, meaning in full public view, as the army of the Catholic Church was much more concerned with the enemy trying to move onto the land, the Turks, as opposed to the enemy of the mind, the reformation of the church rules and order.
The thirty-year war for the control of Christ in the minds and closed off hearts of Euro man and its rules of order would move this division of Christ, called Hussite, around Europe and eventually underground. This original movement and its church is still live in the Czechoslovak Hussite church, as that church claims to be a modern successor of the Hussite tradition.
All the coming Protestant divisions wished to make the Catholic Church dogma easier to be followed by the masses and not in control by Rome also called the Vatican. Rome to them was the home of corruption; a ruling order of angry Pharisees living their lives as Sadducees but requiring the flock to follow in strict compliance the rules set forth and not adhered to by themselves. Same as the country called Saudi Arabia of today. But saying that when absolute power comes into existence it becomes do as we say, not do as we do.
This era, which our history books calls the Reformation and the Catholic Counter Reformation, has nothing to do with the individual freedoms of religion and speech. No, these titles refer only to the new groups that now appeared which wished to control the masses in a more simple ruling order of community control. You could practice their new religion, but not the old or the one your heart felt.
There was no acceptance of your equal religious thoughts of how, what and where we came from, as well as what are we doing here. No, these religions were ownership of the common questions called currency of man’s thoughts.
They too like the Catholic Roman Church where made to make you into sheep and so that you would stay on the assembly line of yes, you go to heaven or no you go to hell at the end of your life in this physical form. These reform religions were the devil at work; a devil that dances and lives by instigating and controlling the fears in your minds by shutting off the heart. They required you to work for the community and not question your individual position here on Earth. It was all ready pre-determined. God saw to it when he created you.
Some Catholic Church leaders actually started to write about human wishes and dreams. They even published their books. One such man was Thomas Moore. Moore was a Sir in England and he wrote and created the concept of utopia in print.
Moore is a great example of how thoughts can be honored here in the present but were actually outlawed in their past. Then in your physical death, your views are reviewed and those thoughts that once existed as bad are now thought of as great. This is the cycle of living consciousness. It is a wheel of thought.
Life changes and we need to have a world where all ideas that honor the whole and the individual are allowed to breathe. This is the true goal of us who know and who are known, to educate the masses about how to keep man alive and aware.
Henry VIII, the King of England, beheaded Moore. The crime was that Moore denied that Henry, the King of England was now the supreme head of the Church of England. Moore sided with the Catholic Church and their inaction to Henry’s petition to obtain a divorce from his Catholic queen Catherine. Henry was sick of having to wait and so created his own Church, so no one but he would ever grant him permission to do what he wished to do when he wished to do it.
The Church made Moore a saint when they needed favor from the British Island inhabitants in 1886, three hundred plus years after his death for defending the Church. Moore was a man who had principles in his dreams and he had those dreams published. But in real live time he was part of a system. Just another brick in the wall of Christ.
But when I say published, back then it would go to schools and their libraries or to the homes of the rich, but there was no mass production of books as today. The rich bought as this proved they had money and intelligence as book collecting had begun for the rich and their home library. Copies were few. Newspapers of any nature did not exist.
The books were for the local intelligence groups and these books were written in the language of the community as opposed to Latin, which was the Church’s secret club language. The general population did not speak it nor understand it. They just followed what the rest of the group did and were directed to do at these religious, in essence voodoo ceremonies, required the group to do.
Latin language was about to be put to bed as the reformers insisted that the services of their church should be in the local community dialect. It makes no sense that the Church and the foreign language of its services had been left to continue for over 1200 years. That was control. They got people to follow what they did not understand.
The book Utopia was written in Latin with Greek words for the proper nouns of the title of the book, Utopia, and its traveler hero, Raphael Hythloday. The novel is the story of going to this island, Utopia, (in Greek means nowhere) and living in the ideal place where Moore wished man was able to live in.
This island had reasonable social arrangements, not in effect anywhere in the world that Moore knew existed. The island had communal ownership of land, as private property did not exist (the Cherokee nation amongst others had this concept). Both men and women were educated by the system of the land. Also, as long as you believed in an afterlife, various religious thoughts were tolerated in Utopia.
The afterlife was important to Moore for he believed that if you did not believe in an afterlife that person would not acknowledge any authority or principle other than him or herself. No control of a person’s behavior.
But utopia also had very specific thoughts on money and property written back then.
Money: “So easy a thing would it be to supply all the necessities of life, if that blessed thing called money, which is pretended to be invented for procuring them, was not really the only thing that obstructed their being procured”.
Property: “Until property is taken away, there can be no equitable or just distribution of things, nor can the world be happily governed”
Utopia today is still the place where we all wish to go. It is our dreams and it is a lie of our minds because we cannot accept the lie that our dreams can never be real. The lie is that Utopia is not capable of being here and now.
Utopia is where all man lives and shares together in one place that honors the community and the individual as one entity. It can be achieved and my hope is that in my lifetime we will get there, utopia back on Earth.
ART & the Catholic Church
Art is what Man creates to show or tell the thoughts inside Man’s mind. It is what makes us special and unique amongst the fellow animals here in the Kingdom of Earth, Heaven as I call it. It is one of the most important attributes how Man communicates with each other.
We show or tell with prose or pictures in sculptured form what it is we see, feel, hear, taste and touch on our individual journeys in this physical life. If you shut off art, you shut off our consciousness. If art is encouraged, society as a whole will benefit because art is debated and explored and it opens your mind to so much more.
The Catholic Church and all totalitarian rulers tried to maintain order by insisting on controlling Man’s art. We are unique amongst the animal kingdom here on Earth as only we can physically transmit our thoughts to one another through the method we call art.
The Catholic Church has had its problems with everything that did not conform to their ideology and their dogma. The Church even banned masks and puppets. Masks were part of the local Pagan festivals. A mask in Africa then and still today is not used to hide, disguise or mask your face; instead it is used to give you the powers of the face that you put on in the masks, as it was then in those days of the last quarter of the Pisces Era.
Here are some examples of the use of masks. A mask with bull’s horns was for strength. A mask with antlers was one for speed. Put on a mask that has wings and you could soar high and far in your dreams.
Masks where dangerous to the Church as they encouraged dreaming so masks were banned as art. Again, the reason art existed was to communicate with thought in form, which could be physically shared and to the Church, this art had to be controlled.
Physical statues, sculptures became great places for graffiti. People writing on concrete did not begin with our generation. The walls and statutes in those days had the writings of prophets who lived hiding in places of the masses. The Church banned this method of expression of discontent and had those prophets, those who for the most part were unknown and unnamed, burned at the stake for crimes committed against the Church’s control of thought.
The Spread of the printing press and the coming Protestant Reformation made the Bishops of the Church quiver. Man was going to become aware of other thoughts and ideas. Once a thought gets oxygen, the thought will have its own life. How could the Church continue to control man if the Church did not control art?
The answer for the Church was easy, it was the painting. Give a visual image of controlled creation, meaning cloned, and the people would then see what you are selling as truth.
The Church and their propaganda machine created the art of what we are taught to believe was a Renaissance. I believe this art, although beautifully reproduced, was the art of conformity and the control of thoughts. The beginning of reproduced art that the Church so ordered and oversaw; the creation of chapels and other rich affluent man ordered material property that man paid to have done to win and maintain the favor of the Catholic Church.
Man has been painting forever and ever more. In Spain, the winter of 2010, I went to the oldest caves in Europe. There in the cave of Altamira, not far from the village Santillana del Mar, Mischa, my wife, and I saw art over 18,000 years old.
These people were telling us in their art that has stood the test of time, what was there in their land at the time they lived and toiled the land. These paintings show what the natives then and there had to live with and feed off as a unit to survive and thrive.
Art again is to communicate and art that survives shows us what was important to the creator of the art when the art was so created. The Church went out of its way to control the dissemination of art. This they did by teaching and forcefully perpetuating the paintings that conformed to the Church’s order and their rule.
The glories of Christ, upstairs in their fantasyland of the Church called heaven looking down on us humans as Christ, our Lord and our savior. Think about what our ancestors have believed for years because of ignorance and fears. If you control the people’s vision, then you may successfully limit their thoughts.
But hear this and give yourself an answer, what does Christ or any Sky God for that matter save us from? Hate? No. War? No. Famine? No. Fears? No. Real Love? Yes. It stops real love.
Now for my interpretation of truth as a Renaissance man and entrepreneur of art. For these paintings of this era, Church ordered and Church approved when given finally published form were nothing but lies.
They depict Jesus as stated above as the Church wished the world to see their king of the Universe, in his Universe, the only father you could honor in art depicted human form. In the Catholic Church they hang paintings of Jesus, now Christ, dressed in eloquent robes of purple with gold trimmings.
They also show you that as a man, Jesus died in a diaper stretch out on a cross showing you what happens when the directions are not controlled from the center of the cross of man. Question the order and we will kill you.
But when the Catholics clone Jesus became one with his dad again, upon entering heaven Christ now apparently looked down on his believers dressed in the top Italian Milan fashion of his time as to say, believe in me and you too will arrive in fashion you can’t afford in your current life.
Jesus was not a king under anyone’s interpretation, nor was he wishing to be the elite. He was the preacher of the kingdom of love in the here in now, which I believe is Heaven if we understand the real thoughts of Jesus, the man; a man who taught and wished for a world of love in the here and now, but was gravely used for the Church as propaganda when they made him into Christ.
The Catholic Church wished to continue their greed. To do so there was the need for the flock to believe that the greed and lifestyle of the Pope and his Bishops was mandated from above, so this was shown in the art so created they said from above and shown as the Churches art below.
The Renaissance painter of Italian folklore was NOT allowed to paint what the painter thought or felt. He was an employee of the Catholic Church for hire and a part of their flock. He did as he was told and if it wasn’t done properly he was subjected to trial and death. These painters who so conformed and followed the rules were the pop stars of the Italian culture and a must to know. In fact, all the wealthy to show off to their friends would commission paintings from these Church approved artists.
This is just like the major corporations of the music industry of today. Conformity is what they seek because with conformity comes the consistency of the then current lifestyle; if you allow new thoughts, then things will change.
Listen to your radio shows. This is not music for tomorrow you are hearing on your pop radio. It is music for right now to keep your brains washed and numb to change and works to counter human growth. It is ok to have but it is wrong to only have and to make others believe this is all you can become.
Once last truth to share before we move away from the Italian art: this Renaissance art had begun in Italy as this was where the Chinese left their books on what they knew how to paint. The shared knowledge was to teach the other man of this world how to create brushes, colors and then the technique to use these new tools on different boards that could keep the picture through time and changes that time brings to substances in material form.
The Italian artists were genies in a bottle as they had such powerful imagery in their heads, but because of the control of the Church the expression that was allowed out on the canvas was shallow and one dimensional. Eventually the artists pushed boundaries and the art grew in depth and expression, but the mind control the Church held over this expression was undeniable and the origins of the renaissance was nothing but mind control to perpetuate the ruling order of the Church.
The Renaissance did not bring civilization out of the dark ages. Truth is the printing press did. That was the real renaissance of Man. Man was taught how to share with man in non-oral form. Soon we can do it with instant travel. My friends, that is the secret of our age – the Age of Aquarius. Instant communication with no land forced barriers.
Good-bye rules of order to control and hello to Heaven here on Earth. Man shares and builds as one the Community of Man.
The Catholic Roman Church & Their Warrior Counter-Revolution
People are creatures of habit. We repeat our past successes as well as fall into the traps of our failures because we assume things have changed and we are smarter than before. We are a consciousness that uses the physical body to learn and grow.
We must accept that order is the goal and once order is so created, some of us will wish to maintain the order and a few of us will wish to create a new way, a better order. To stop those who wish for the new, the old order controls thoughts and knowledge. We create lies and we perpetuate fear to keep the current ruled order in line.
To recap, the Catholic Church in its two divisions of mind control had exclusive rule in Europe but their Sky God was under attack. In the south, you had the Muslims taking control of the eastern Half of the old Roman Empire and in the rest of Europe you had the local Bishops who were now reading and feeling, striving to take control of their community.
The Church was a global institution, in so far as the Church taught you that there was nothing else but the Catholic Church and Jesus now Christ. But the world was an oyster and it was opening up as the Aquarian energies were coming into our Earth frequencies.
The Catholic Roman of the central and western European lands order, unlike the eastern orthodox farming culture control, was riled and wanted to see what else there was. The Vatican needed to counter attack to own their congregation’s minds and souls, so they created a new order of Dogs who pretended they worked for God. The new attack was to create a new jurisdiction for the police of the Church, the Inquisitor. This is what the Church did.
The New Roman Catholic Church Order: the Jesuits
When the Cathars and others made trouble by bringing light to a stagnating order, the Church created the Dominicans and the Inquisition to teach the rules and then enforce the dogma of the rules. This worked to create absolute rule for the Church with the Kings of the lands, and people believed they lived for Sky God’s appointed kings. The church itself had been lulled into believing that that dissention had disappeared.
But the Dominicans were not educated to combat the Protestant mind with the new logic. This new order was needed to keep control where they, the Church had it and to regain control where it was lost and to get control of the areas and the population that was not yet aware of the Church and the glory of their rule. The area they called the new world. So the Church created the Jesuit order.
The Jesuit order was really the Society of Jesus, who was now once again a man not the Sky God of Christ. A Spaniard named Ignatius Loyola created this new Catholic Game. He, like all good killing young Spanish men of the sixteenth century, was seeking glory as a soldier.
During the siege of Pampeluna in 1521, the same year that Magellan started his circle of the world, Loyola became aware.
The Spanish were at war in Italy. This battle for glory, God and personal fame found the soon to be Saint of the Church injured by a French cannonball. This was the fight that Philip had to get the French out of Rome that we read about in the life and times of Henry the Eight. Remember, everything we do is a circle. Nothing is linear. It is all circular and interacting.
While Loyola was injured due to this war and meditating, he came up with a new and contemporary dogma with a new school to teach and preach the new thoughts that he said were really the same as the old thought. He retired to a cave at Montserrat and lived in a cave for a year to solidify his coming order in his head. When he came out of the cave he left with his new gospel.
This new Gospel, he called The Spiritual Exercises. This manuscript outlined the new Christian meditation. He then made a second pilgrimage, this time to the city of Peace, Jerusalem as the Muslims, really Arabs did share the pilgrimage sites with Man, and even they thought Euro man tried to have his own monopoly over this region in the failed Crusades of the Roman mandated order of the middle Pisces era.
Again another lie that we are taught is that the Arabs always shared this land, but they just did not give away their controls to the man who chooses to not reproduce called the Bishops of Rome.
Loyola armed with his love and his new understanding of the way it should now be, started preaching and converting those who listened to his new way to be. But what was he preaching? What did the good Catholics do with his new thoughts?
Well, he got arrested by the Inquisition and was placed in jail while the police of the Church reviewed his manuscript. He was released but he was not allowed to preach for four years as the police had to prove there was a reason for the arrest. So he moved to Paris and there he created a following of men who swore by him and his new Essence order. This order spread like wildfire and the Church decided to incorporate it as a Church sanctioned order.
In 1540, Pope Paul III officially established the order under the brand name the Company of Jesus. This order was disciplined and in fact had military overtones in and throughout their entire existence. But they had no weapons to kill, just a mind to persuade and the courage to not stop.
Over the next 150 years this order was the order that went about to teach and preach about the ills of the Protestant order and the need to stay or become again or for the first time a member of the Catholic Church. They joined in the witch-hunt mentality of the regions and attacked each area with the strategy required for military battle.
These traveling missionaries of the now Pharisees order of Jesus went everywhere on our planet. Their preaching was a blueprint of the decisions of the rules and regulations so voted on at the Council of Trent in 1545, five years after the Jesuit order was recognized. The new rules and police force of the Catholic Church as detailed in the Jesuit order of Jesus were now in control.
The council of Trent started in 1545 and lasted until 1564. It is here in the Italian city of Trent that the war for the return to order & control of the European and new world Catholic Church was defined.
The Council issued its condemnations on what it defined and proclaimed it was the heresy of the Protest movement. They excommunicated all those Bishops who had the nerve to go against Church rules without confirmation of acceptance by the Bishops themselves.
The Council defined the Church dogma in the areas of scripture and tradition. The dogma defined the rules in regard to original sin, justification, the Sacraments, the Eucharist in Holy Mass and the veneration of the saints – all the areas that the Protestant were attacking, especially the areas of tradition not so written in the scriptures. This was now the blue print of the Jesuits to go forward and teach as well as preach.
The Church copied the success of their Spanish Inquisition, which was really nothing but ethnic cleansing of the Spanish Man to create the pure religious and obedient Spaniard for the state and church. From now on, the Church inquisition was not to only purify the faith but to perpetuate the stability and welfare of the Papacy and the Church. It changed the name of the Inquisition to the Sacred Roman Congregation and Universal Inquisition that is codified as the Holy Office.
The new Inquisition was given unrestricted powers by the Bishops who claimed that somehow they were the direct line of thought, as taught by the other men who claimed Peter was the first to teach this line of Priest.
These new powers of control included the right to delegate the powers of ecclesiastic people, their positions and the authority to invoke the secular arm of the church when it was deemed necessary or appropriate. The Pope did have the right to veto all such powers when the Pope thought it was necessary or desirable.
Then in 1555 the Pope and the great wizards called fellow Bishops ordained the following for the new inquisitors to follow: they were to have no regard for the great, meaning celebrities of that day; they were to have the right to punish on mere suspicion; they were to severe anyone who sheltered behind the powerful; plus no mildness in the enforcements of the rules, least of all towards Calvinists.
Also, the Pope Caraffa stressed the need to strike at those in high places, for the bigger the person, the greater the fear is circulated and therefore salvation of the classes due to this fear that they too could be so punished; a play that the Current IRS and US Enforcers of bad law use to make the masses comply.
This totally screwed up the Italian way of Sadducee life. It helped bring the city-states down by the end of the next century as the Sadducees had to start moving out or they would risk the marching death squads of the new and improved Church.
By the way, they went to France and that is how the French became the place to be, as the French enlighten Kings, the Louis Kings did not let the Jesuits into their lands.
The Church Assault on Science & Knowledge in the 1500-1600s
Then the Council in 1555 realized that a big human god with absolute authority was needed to combat the heretics and Protestants, and gave the Pope the absolute authority the King God never had before. The Pope was always the Bishop of Rome, the first among equals. His power over the centuries of rule was understood to exist but now there was no question, the Pope was the boss. The Pope made the rules or everyone agreed that Sky God would just talk through the Pope.
To combat thought and the evils of the publishers of the world, the Church created the Index of Prohibited Books. This was censorship to the max and what the Church did to keep its flocks numb, dumb and ignorant. The Catholic Church then went after the men who wrote and shared their newfound knowledge from reading books that taught them to question.
These writings of the new controlled dogma of thoughts were about the arts and the sciences. These areas sounded like a college curriculum of classes one could today take as they included theology, philosophy, medicine, and technology as well as the unholy three topics of astrology, alchemy and magic.
The Church went after these men and would do whatever they could to humiliate and destroy the words so written by the unsaved heretic. A great example of the Church fighting the tide of light with their darkness of superstition and fear was Galileo Galilei.
Galileo, the man who is given credit for discovering the telescope was brought before the Holy Office and made to recount his words and theories of what he saw and what he saw by using his telescope.
When you were placed under Roman house arrest, the inquisitors backed by Sky God reviewed your wrongs at their Holy Office’s pace, which was meant to be longer than long. This allowed them to keep you in prison and have a daily exercise routine of the latest and best tortures.
This technique was used to make you recant, reverse your earlier announcements so the faithful could hear you, the accused heretic of wrong thought were in fact wrong in your own sworn to affidavit.
Galileo’s crime was that he confirmed the Copernicus theory, which was written in a book before the Rulers of Copernicus’ homeland, in what is now Poland, killed him with poison for questioning their authoritarian rule with logic and reason.
This book was not known to the Vatican but very well known to the Scientist of that time period. Galileo found the book, and with his telescope was able to demonstrate empirically that the Earth and the other planets, named after Roman and Greek Gods, were in fact rotating around the sun.
The Church lived by the Bible’s rewritten rule that the Earth was the center stage of our Universe. Galileo proved that the earlier learning that the Church had burned it was true. We as a consciousness are not alone. There is other life elsewhere.
Really you may ask – well, each planet and each star is life. Remember that they are alive. We were not alone in the universe, we never where and never will be. We may in fact be the only 3-D physical conscious form that lives for love but we are not the only creation of life.
Even the Church shows you that to be true, as if you follow their logic, when you die you move on to a new form of consciousness to a heaven or a hell in another dimension.
The Church arrested Galileo and he spent the last years of his life under house Vatican arrest. He was under house arrest only because he did recant and say that he was wrong. If had not have recanted he would have left this Earth as a body barbecue.
The Polish Pope who was in charge of the roman killing Church in 1992 eventually pardoned him. He died in 1642. It was his 350th afterlife birthday present. Yes, it was then said, that the Church would now confirm that the Earth rotates the sun.
In a year we rotate it once, but the rules of the church said the sun revolved around us 12 times, and that is why we have twelve months, when in fact the moon, which controls our water and air, rotates around us, the Earth, thirteen times a sun year.
The Church wished to remove man from understanding that the sun is not in control by itself. The moon is the subordinate to the light’s rule, but is in control of the micro management of our world. It controls the room we live in with the controls of the air and the water here on Earth.
If you understood this, you would have understood the need for more than one God. Communities win, not solo ventures, which are always for personal glories called one’s ego.
The 16th Century Assault on Mystics: Those with the Gift to Translate Consciousness
What is a mystic? A mystic is one who is in pursuit of awareness of the ultimate reality of existence, be that a god of one or a god of all. This comes to the individual by direct experience from life and is felt by intuition-insight or instinct. This book you are reading the Church and all organized religions may be labeled as mystical.
The history of the Roman Catholic Church stops the mystic, who in fact is all Jesus was about. He wanted Man to communicate and listen to the spirits talking with the energy of more than just living here in the physical present.
The torture of the men who dared to see what more there could be in the physical and spiritual world is horrifying. Man has always searched for the Essence of man’s existence.
The Church and their law forbade the dissemination of secret learning’s about existence. Men of knowledge and searching for more to share and be taught had to go underground and create secret societies to have meetings about new thoughts with their fellow common man.
There were laws on the books of both the Church and the rulers of the land that forbade meetings on the streets of three people or more. These laws were created to control gossip.
The reason we read today and hear how mad and crazy secret societies were and the voodoo ceremonies that apparently took place in these meetings, all stems from the Church and their propaganda unit who would just spread words of the magical and sorcery events that would transpire at these meetings.
The Church considered their magic and their sorcery meetings okay. It is okay to tell you that the drink they serve is Jesus’ blood or the waver you eat is the body of Christ, but if your thoughts are different from theirs you are insane.
In their mind, the childless Bishops of the Church who knew nothing about creation as a core of all existence using their limited intuition, insight and instinct was to control society in the nature of existence.
Their rules and controls were to stop the teaching of nature and creation. They didn’t sell any nature apart from Sky God as the only father of man and all creation.
However, Aquarius thoughts were coming into the end of Pisces and this Church could not stop. It is called the age of reason. An essence of thought was emerging and the Age of Reason had begun once again. Thoughts, controls, order and understanding were in the open and the world would now be changed forever.
The Holy Office regarded Mysticism as a wrong that when spoken about would conjure up images to make you feel you were in the wrong place. The Church projected upon its believers that only what you could see was what was real. Just like our brain controlled scientist of today, who say something exists only if you can touch it. They do not believe in love and they do not understand creation.
Believing in illusion, what you physically can’t see was deemed as dangerous and still is today. They promoted that our mind exists only to help us survive in the physical world.
The mystics, as the Church of hate and the organ of medieval fear like to call these men, were nothing but people learning to feel and move again. People were learning to read and the local dialect was not yet fully organized into written and common form. This was all going to take place in the 1600s.
Here in my English speaking word, King James the first of England helped the English language along to its current form by writing a Bible in English that helped standardize the rules and order of the language.
Yes, every creation needs to exist within an order and please understand that what we call chaos is also an order. It is no order that settles and then becomes a lasting order. That is till dis-order makes it dissolve.
So when orders of control become conformity and creation is put on hold, man makes chaos, war being the biggest example, so creation can again get moving. We call it revolution.
War itself is not revolution, for war stops creation in that moment. Religious wars are not revolution but de-evolution. But, as any student of Buddhism knows that in death life begins anew. You can never shut out the light in any absolute form of control.
Europe in the 1600 was on the brink of its most devastating Continental war ever then at that point in time. This was an era where Catholics and Protestants killed and fought to see who knew and understood how Euro man should and must communicate with Sky God to get to the next heaven, as this land here was their purgatory.
With the leadoff batter Luther, Hus the prequel and Calvin the sequel, others throughout Europe were about to enter into our consciousness. They would preach the wrongs of the Catholic Bishops and their dogma.
However, they would all insist on the absolute adherence to their prescribed highways to their imaginary next life. If you stepped outside your controlled knowledge to really look and feel what they were explaining, then you would have understood how dumb we are as a unit.
Again, this Protestant reformation was not for freedom of thoughts, it was only about freedom of their own thoughts. They were caught in the black and white lie of conformity to rules and order. They were never able to experience human shared love.
The 1600s is where my thoughts begin in current written form. There was a group called the Rosicrucian. They were called the new Golden age, in the propaganda of those years. This group was what others might call Gnostic as if that is a crime.
They believed in common sharing of social needs. They were advocates of tolerance and they were definitely coming from the heart as opposed to controlling your minds, which the Catholics and Protestants are all about.
The problem with heart-felt movements as I have said before is how do you make rules for what your heart tells you are right or wrong? The answer is you do not make rules.
You live and move with a flexibility and an understanding that everything is unique and special and when that moment comes you will then follow the path of protecting the individual as long as that individual did not harm the collective welfare of life.
Well the Rosicrucian movement that tried to combine religion and government got into trouble as future members wished for rules to maintain an order and order made by rules without the ability to think are not natural.
Order must be organic. If not, each order has a built in disorder capacity detector and sooner or later that disorder will over flow to try to become the new order.
The Roman Catholic Church hated this new Rosicrucian order and they went after them big time. They chased the freethinker’s underground. This chase therefore made the need for more secret societies.
These underground groups would stay under the surface and by the end of the 17th Century whether they were Masons, Freemasons or Cabal men, they were now the next line of coming controls.
These organizations of that day really believed that the Vatican hid the truth of one Sky God’s creation of man by denying the traditions of the Solomon temple’s priest. They did not understand that these priests too were searching for truths about creation.
They all took a powder made from heated gold that we found in the various pyramids we opened which were suppose to bring you to the next dimension of creation. The Indians of the Americas too had this vision from Earth’s products. They called it Peyote or Hiawatha.
The existing order labeled the freethinkers and their follower’s as conspirators. If they were allowed to stay and share with all fellow man some of their Bankster logic that is in our air of controls today would have been removed from their thoughts.
These controls came into existence because they were not allowed to share and they did not trust fellow man. These controls existed, as they were needed to protect their light from the darkness of the Pisces prehistoric Roman Catholic Church mind.
The battle was in play to control the mind of the intellects who were raised to believe in mysticism or the Priests who did believe in mysticism but wished to control the conclusion.
