Family and Religion Part 2
The essay Family and Religion described how the destruction of the family decreased the effect of religious ethics in society and created a vacuum that government institutions gradually filled as part of the trend to a one-world order. New spiritual leaders and gurus who do not require changing one’s religion to join their membership but who now provide ethical teachings once provided by parents, and in arenas outside of the home, have become part of this trend as the downplaying of religion, home, family and marriage, by the media and all institutions, intensifies.
Even religious organizations now place little emphasis on the family. The Pope in his Lenten message focused on material considerations, education, and opportunities for economic growth. Family is no longer held in high regard because the establishment and maintenance of family, extended family, and tribe require a clear understanding of gender differences and this is verboten in modern Western thought.
We have legislated away the natural gender differences between men and women, how then can we support anything that requires the interaction between differences in gender? We have legislated away what God has created, this is ignorance of the lowest order enacted on the grandest scale.
Think of it; to conduct yourself along natural gender lines is breaking the law.
This condition is, demonic, degenerate, and destructive.
In the preface of my first book, Dear Brothers and Sisters: Gender and Its Responsibility, I mention that Hermes Trismegistus stated the universal principle of gender and explained its functioning many centuries BCE. In the Bible the book of Genesis states early on that the woman came from the man and that man should be her master, and in the following chapter it states that Lamech married two wives. Is this not a clear statement of gender difference and the patriarchal structure?
Proverbs, and Ecclesiasticus, contain many directives for young men to respect their fathers and the elders of the tribe. An assortment of Old Testament prophets have exhorted people to care for the family and to show respect for the elders. Peter and James met with the elders of Israel, and Paul in his epistles frequently refers to respect for elders.
The Chinese sage Confucius more than 500 years BCE championed strong family loyalty, ancestor worship, respect of elders by their children and of husbands by their wives. He also recommended family as a basis for ideal government.
Kirpal Singh, the 20th century Sikh guru stated that the Sun represented the male principle in nature, and the Moon the female principle in nature and that the cosmic principles that manifest themselves in the planetary world as the Sun and the Moon, are found in every aspect of existence.
Spiritually advanced people have enunciated the principle of gender and the importance of family from the beginning of recorded history and through subsequent ages; the concept of gender and the need for family are universal truths and do not change; therefore those who have no spiritual concept want to sever the link between society and the spirit world, and that link (for all its imperfections) is religion.
One of the vehicles used to breakdown the influence of the home and religion is the incessant reference to technology and all its supposed powers such as the slogan “Technology has the Power to Unite Us,” used by Microsoft. This ad is seen billions of times and conditions the world to rely on technology for its survival and well-being. The heart-warming illustrations of the lame walking again as a result of technology (sophisticated materialism) mask the evil created by it such as the pollution of the air, water, food, and thinking of the world. This add indicates by working together with technology we can make this a better world, and the influence of home, religion, and matters spiritual is crowded out of the mind by watching and listening to this commercial.
Technology worship minimizes the influence of the elders because of its ever changing nature, reduces the esteem in which they were once held, considers them a financial liability, institutionalizes them in what are euphemistically called Senior Citizen Extended care Facilities but in reality are holding pens for the aged until they can be disposed of.
The same loss of esteem has afflicted parents as the rate of unwed motherhood increases and the government becomes the new parent, providing the care for the survival of children with its army of mercenaries called dieticians, nutritionists, psychologists, counselors, technicians, and of course “healthcare workers.”
All life needs more than care, it needs to be nurtured. The feminine principle provides the nurturing necessary for all existence, and it can only exist in the environment provided and maintained by the masculine principle. The government cannot love or nurture; it can only provide for material needs. Those who have nurtured the race to its present state are those gray haired women who have begotten and raised children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Gray hair serves as their credentials and is of more significance than degrees, certificates and licenses. Unfortunately we have removed our youth form association with the gray hairs and all parties have suffered, especially the youth.
Western society cannot be fixed. We must create a way of life outside of it and this can only be done by reestablishing family as the center of society and providing it with the spiritual training necessary for the development of humankind. Most of you who read these essays are single. It is time to take what you have read and put it into practice. One way of doing this is to get married.
