Perhaps it would be more productive to discuss the connections we can make between mythologies rather than dividing into tribes and bickering over whos book is the best.

I'll start, the major theme between all religions is a goal to escape this world. If this were truly a good world to live in then there wouldn't be so much desire to escape it.

It seems that all the prophets were killed because they gave real practical advice that can be used to escape this world. Jesus wasn't killed for saying "Just be a good goy pay ur taxes its all love and light man." He gave real guidance that can be used to escape this matrix trap.

We could also consider this has similarities to the mythology of Socrates. Why would they kill him just for asking questions? The basic socratic questioning which when employed effectively reveals we all share a large amount of ignorance about the world. But people don't like that uncertainty. They want a rigid comftorable worldview explained by a man in a lab coat and glasses that doesn't have any room left for mystery.

The goal isn’t to “escape this world” but to dissolve boundaries.

>>42804122
We've had this thread many times before. It always ends up with idiots trying to frame religions vastly different from them in their own terms, completely mangling them in the process.

You started off by doing the same:

>the major theme between all religions is a goal to escape this world

No, this isn't universal at all, this is your Gnostic brainrotted mind trying to shoehorn everything into an ultra-reductionist idea.

Also Socrates was not killed for "just asking questions." He was i,charged with impiety and corrupting the youth

The /x/ variant of Gnosticism needs to die. It’s fucking embarrassing, and everyone espousing it is a know-nothing, bitter loser. Goyim’s goyim. It’s centered around personal grievance instead of metaphysics.
>>
>>42804145
Explain? How does dissolving boundaries relate to exiting Plato's cave?

>>42804162
well what is your alternative cosmology? Do you think this is just a school for souls to learn? Or we being tested by some God?

>>42804138
The world, ie mankind at large, is under the control of the devil which makes anyone preaching light an enemy of the world in general
>>
>>42804244
All these anons saying Gnosticism is stupid but they never give a good alternative. I don't LIKE Gnosticism but it accurately describes reality in a way every other system I know of outright refuses to tackle.
>>
>>42804287
In my spiritual worldview, light is the fallen form of Spirit. Charitably, I think many Christians saying they seek light are actually seeking Spirit, and their heresy is simply linguistic folly.

Words are symbols after all, since the divine can’t be directly accessed. That’s why it was only after the birth of Seth that the symbol/word “Lord” was used.

The Tower of Babel myth addressed this inherent unholiness (incompleteness) of language. Paul referred to the issue of “thorn of the flesh,” necessitating humility when discussing such matters. It’s why idols form.
>>
>>42804122

i just want to point out, this is an example of unity, rather than separation. its another way to look at it, instead of right/left, positive/negative, light/dark, good/bad, this is simpler, less violent example. unity, or separation. escaping gravity, or gaining gravity.
>>
>>42804340
Unity in fundamental dichotomies simply isn’t possible. Instead, a third, abstract proposition must be created so as to systematize earthly discernment. Symbols. Seth. Messiah. Law. Ethics. Politics.

All of which is to say most of the issues inherent to polemics is linguistic. Perennialism is a Tower of Babel.

We all escape eventually, the goal is generally to find balance (imo)
Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, etc all had to find the balance between the physical and spiritual

>>42804441
Islamic Sufism also had this with "Fana" where you need to obliterate your "Nafs" (Soul or Ego I think?) in order to experience God in his true monotheistic nature, but emphasizing that you can't grow attached to spiritual matters to the point it draws you away from the physical since that's how Satan fell, from his attachment to the concept of Monotheism
>>
>>42804122

Not true. Animism, paganism, even Judaism are not transcendent-oriented, and are meant to give you ways to live successfully in this world. they make no real concern of any "getting out" or transcending or even any concrete notion of some eternal realm.

There is a fundamental split between world-affirming and world-denying religions. Ie. will to power vs. will to freedom. Is the aim to dominate the world or to escape it?
Will-to-freedom religions tend to be ascetic. Buddhism is the clearest example. Anything that doesn't have darwinian survival or domination as its prime motive. Another is Gnosticism, of course.There's also Taoism.
On the other hand there are the word-dominating religions, eg. the ancient pagan faiths, and most importantly, judaism. Not a transcendental or ascetic bone in their body. Any esoteric knowledge is to be turned towards material gain and survival. Not necessarily of the individual, but of the tribe. There is no higher purpose for which to survive. Survival itself is the purpose. Other examples include Confucianism and Hinduism.
There are also "mixed" religions. Some which contain both world denying and world-affirming elements, depending perhaps on denomination. Eg. Islam (Sufism) or Christianity (eg. Coptics vs. Prosperity Gospel). Will to power vs will to freedom. That's the fundamental divide in religion.

"The overwhelming majority of traits that improve survivability (including the very desire to survive without purpose) are morally negative. Nature favours the rapist over the non-rapist during war, the coward over the martyr during tyranny, the wealthseeker over the truthseeker during prosperity, and so on; in each case the former will be on average either more prolific or more materially secure than the latter."

>What all religions share in common
It seems that they all have a good/evil duality that usally is also a light/dark duality. the forces of good-light fight against the forces of evil-dark, and humans are in the middle. In different versions this theme occours everywhere.

>God?
Buddhism has no almighty creator deity.

Yeah I lean towards Gnostic Worldview because the Loosh farming aspect makes the most sense for how this world operates. I'm still open to other possibilities, but no other cosmology is able to give a sufficient answer for why there is so much loosh farming.
>>
>>42804122
Most religions will have at least one branch dedicated to apophatic theology, the idea being to go beyond affirmation/negation and mental conceptualization. Then you'll find the same descriptions of what remains after where there is no time nor space nor divisibility.
>>
>>42804357

look, its simply another way to view dualism, and polarity, which will always have two extreme ends, with endless degrees of variation inbetween. im not getting into a wordy debate. infact, youve made a statement, but offered no proofs. THIS (your reply)is actually a good example of separation, and deep down you realize this, but you gotta dress it up as a big wordy debate. again, im not debating with you, no matter what you write.

All religions are fertility cults because the whole point of creation is sex.
>>
>>42806270
Christianity isn't 100% a fertility cult... but it does put the creation of life as one of the greatest things a human can do on earth.

That said there are an infinite number of paths in Christianity that vary wildly usually expressed through the various devotion.

God does not exist. Religions are a lie, all of them. The human being is the only animal that can believe in thigns which does not have a physical reality, tings like God. Even the bible will tell you this, that God is spirit. What is a spirit? It's something which does not have a physical property, it's pure "spiritual". And this is the trap. Human beings are the only ones who will believe in thigns such as an spirit. To human beings even a stone has a spirit, today not so much, but way back in the day people believe everything had spirits. Dude, that is not real. Spirits are not real. God is not real. Human beings believe it is ritual because of how our brains evolved. If God was a real thing like people claim then the world would be different. God never shows up. Why? Because God doesn't fucking exist like you guys preach. Think about it. There's zero proof that a God exists. People believing in God is no proof that God exists because people can believe in things which are not real, human beings can do this. And this is the problem. They do this and then they refuse to admit the truth. They believe in a fabrication, a fantasy, lies, superstitions. When people say that God is a computer or something like that, they are probably right. Whatever there is out there, it is not like people claim, a loving Father who cares for us. It may all be just mechanical stuff, hardwire and stuff, no empathy for us whatsoever for how will a computer have sympathy? It can't. Anyway. All this spiritual things is BS. Religions lie. God is a faggot. God does not deserve our worship if God is real. God is evil. God is a prick. We should try to kill God instead of worshiping God. Fuck God. The Bastard. I say this because when yo uread books like the bible you can't help yourself, but realize how utterly disgraceful God is.

>>
>>42810430
You were quick to mock me. Why is that? Let me guess. You are a christian? lol You beleive in Jesus? That Jesus us going to come back and judge the world and make everything right again? Let me guess, you get on your kness and ask God to forgive you for thinking baout naked girls and touching yourself down there? I hope not because that would be so fucking lame and only a christian would do such a thing. I'm dead serious. God is a faggot. Look at nature and see for yourself. If God created nature and the world then God is a faggot because you can see that, the faggotry, in nature itself. Only a faggot could do what God did. I'm not saying this just to hate. I'm serious. You guys think God is everything which is God, but that is a big mistake. God is everything that is wrong with the world.

They didn’t kill Jesus for saying he was god, he was killed by saying we are all gods

The Anunnaki had been giving plagues to humanity, in an effort to lower their numbers.
Enlil, in command of Earth, wielder of lightning bolts, was displeased with Humanity and wanted them gone.
Enki, his brother, took pity on humans and secretly taught them to worship only 1 Anunnaki at a time, the one responsible for the current plague, to basically guilt trip them into stopping the plague. This works a few times before Enlil realises what Enki has done and punishes him by causing his power over the waters to flood the people. Enki teaches Ziusudra to build an ark. (This was turned into the Noah story, even down to releasing the birds from the ark and saving animals.)

So, Enlil finally agreed to spare the rest of humanity afterwards, allowing disease, child deaths and religious celibacy to control their population numbers.

However, Enlil had learned from his brother. He saw how easy the humans were to control when they all worshipped only 1 Anunnaki. He could punish Enki again for his betrayal, and take control of all the Earth, by doing the same.
Enlil became Yahweh of Armies, a monotheistic storm-god ruler that declared himself above all other “gods”. Enki was turned into “satan” for giving humanity forbidden knowledge (forbidden fruit)
Enlil and Enki.
Zeus and Prometheus.
Yahweh and Satan.


There is also the Women in White, a faction of NHI that have influenced human belief systems across the world for thousands of years. They appear a women in white clothing, transform into or associate with bovine animals, give religious prophecy and control UFOs. They have a four-coloured flag that has appeared in almost every belief system.
