(i) dispiriting and defilement

a reflection

this is an expanded version of a comment i left on this post by Bruce Charlton.

because the material is always spiritual and not vice versa, i think there is a very clear intent of de-spiriting the material. destruction is not effective, which is why i do not believe we will experience the same kind of war of the twentieth century. the purpose, i think, is to defile and corrupt and distort.

(i might be wrong about the war. i can imagine that another great human sacrifice on a large scale might be a part of satan’s plans. plus it is also a great way to lay waste to the earth, which is a related objective. at the same time, it seems to me that the mass killings were targeted for specific people, and those types of people are now in terminal decline for other reasons, even better from the devil’s perspective, and since the defilement of the earth is only assured with enough people to defile it and themselves. thus i still think large scale war, including nuclear war, is out of the picture)

now the means are of course psychic. they are addressed to the mind, not the body. only the mind can direct the body into dispiriting, into defilement and degeneration and all the rest.

thus the purpose of something like the so called AIs is of course to influence minds, but with the purpose of defiling the flesh, the human form, the very image of God, so that more and more people defile and disfigure themselves in order to resemble the devil's machine dreams. in this, so called AI is just another tool, more powerful probably, but there are plenty of others, our society offers and promotes defilement and disfigurement of the flesh in multiple forms, and for different audiences, and we're all just supposed to be on board and think it normal, healthy and almost normative. and of course, on a larger scale, it promotes the same disfigurement in nations and on the earth. as i have noted many times, the real taboos of the system, those opinions which are unspeakable and effectively illegal to speak, are all directly related to the flesh, to the physical; the human ones foremost, the ones relating to the earth, second. i could give examples, but it would be unwise.

this, i observe and cannot deny. how to explain it is a different matter, but it suggests to me that there is something very important about the physical, precisely because it is, well, exclusive. all material is spiritual and not vice versa, and so perhaps the devil wants a purely disembodied existence. this explains at least why it seems that the system has no problem at all with all forms of oneness spirituality, whereas whenever spirituality is normative about the body, it has a problem - hence the previously mentioned taboos.

what it suggests to me, in short, is that some things here on earth are not repeatable or replaceable. that something can be lost and never regained. and that we must take this life very seriously indeed if we have any hope of leveling up, instead of down, in the next.

my tentative answer as to why this is the case is that when a spirit is joined to a body, once we are born into this earth we have gained a soul, a psyche, a connection between spiritual and material. so it is not just the body that is influenced by the spirit, but the spirit also is changed and transformed through its indwelling in the flesh. thus what the flesh becomes, and how, has an influence on the present and future state of the spirit as well.
