OUR TRADITIONAL RELIGIONS
OF FEAR
A statement from Carl Jung, a famous 1900's psychoanalyst,that dealt with the subject of religion and fear.

Jungs comments are not about the Bible, or God, or reality.
They are about religion which is a structure built upon the desires of some people to control the minds of others .
THE CONTROLLERS DEMAND
THAT WE THINK LIKE THEM
The controllers set up living standards based on how they interpret writings that are thousands of years old, that contain legends, traditions, and mythology.
The controllers oversee organizations that drive into the minds of their members the fear, that if they do not obey their instructions they will eventually fall into a fiery hell dominated by demons, after they die.
THE MASSES LIVE THEIR
LIVES IN FEAR
The result is the masses of people all over the world live their lives in fear and guilt, because they simply think differently then their religious controllers.
And though they show up on Sundays and play their part.
Within their minds they yearn for the things the controllers say are evil.
RELIGION WAS THE GOVERNMENT
OF
THE DARK AGES OF EUROPE
All one has to do to evaluate religion is go back to the dark ages of Europe.
What happened in the dark ages was what many in the Christian right wing movement would like to see happen here now, and that is, Christianity become the government.
Intellectuals and scientists were killed, or banished.
Brilliant thinkers like Galileo and Copernicus.
People were tortured to death in the inquisition if they dared to think differently then the religious law.
Women who were spiritual were declared witches, and killed.
A HORRIBLE PERIOD IN
THE NAME OF CHRIST
It was a horrible time, that laid the foundation of how all religion survives, and not just Christianity.
Religion survives by causing people to live in fear.
In the dark ages they lived in fear of the religious government and that still exists in different parts of the world.
In this country that type of fear has started to rise
through right wing evangelical politics.
THE FEAR THEY TEACH IS OF
AN ETERNAL HELL
The religions control their followers by the teaching the fear of going to hell after physical death.
The concept is, if you don't do what we say, and think the way we think, you will die and go to hell, where devils and demons will chase you around in a fiery pit.
Teachings right out of the dark ages, and it still works today.
WE HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR
BUT FEAR ITSELF
President Franklin Roosevelt in the 40's made a statement concerning fear that really sums up the backward route that religion has taken so many people on.
Franklin D Roosevelt
He said, "we have nothing to fear but fear itself".
But fear is what religion is all about.
You must live, not in constant love, and peace, and understanding with nature, and others.
You must live in constant fear of going to hell, unless you obey the robed ones.
This fear filled way of living has caused the fighting upon the earth, the fear and deep stress that has contributed to the diseases we all endure.
We have dis ease because we cannot be at ease, because we are constantly subjected to religiousfear which haunts the world.
THE BIBLE BEING MISINTERPRETED
IS THE SOURCE OF
DISEASE CAUSING FEAR
AND THEIR HELL DOES NOT EXIST
All of this nonsense comes from a total misrepresentation of the Bible as a literary book, when in fact it is not a literary book, but rather a book of Greek mythology.
If people understood the Bible, and really read it as true mythology, they would quickly see that hell is a place where people go when they are alive, now.
Let me show you.
See the scripture in
Proverbs 15:24,
the way of life is above, meaning finding the higher mind, that one may depart from hell beneath, which is the lower, carnal mind.
Hell is not someplace where you go when you are dead.
It is a place where you go when you are alive, and we are sentenced toa living hell by religious fear.
MEDITATION RESCUES
YOU FROM HELL
The way of life is above to the wise, means that in your meditation you seek higher mind realms.
For what reason?
That you may depart from the hell of the lower material mind.
The sorrows of hell have surrounded all of us at one time or another.
Psalm 86
You took my soul from the lowest hell.
Yet religion will construct hell as a place from which one cannot return.
WE CREATE HEAVEN AND HELL
Hell is a concept of the mind, as all things are concepts of the mind.
It is the concepts of the mind that create the material reality of the physical world, and those concepts can create a heaven, or a hell.
Don't you think that the thoughts of this government created a hell for the people of Iraq, and the people of Viet Nam?
Our kindness can bring heaven to another, and our cruelness can bring hell.
WHERE DID THE WORD
HELL COME FROM?
Where did the word and the concept come from ?
The word hell is an English translation out of the Greek.
In other words the Bible never uses the word Hell.
That word was originated by English translators, and where did they get it from?
The important thing to keep in mind is that no where in original Greek or Hebrew Bible does the word Hell appear.
That word was invented by English speaking translators.
There are two words in the Bible referencing this subject.
The Hebrew word Sheol and the Greek word Gehanna.
There is no word Hell.
So when the English translators were translating Sheol and Gehenna they looked for something in English they felt fit, and they chose Hell.
SHEOL AND GEHANNA
wikipedia
Sheol was considered by some as the common destination for both good and bad people.
Then other elements of the Jewish Religion felt differently about it.
wikipedia
So the Old Testament reference of Sheol is either a resting place for both good and bad, or a place of comfort, or torment, or simply the grave.
No one really knows, but it certainly is not the fiery hell that we have been frightened with.
That was the Jewish word we translated into Hell, now let us look at the other word which is the Greek Gehenna.
A couple of things to keep in mind here.
The Greek interpretation of the older Jewish writings, transcribed at Alexandria Egypt, incorporated Greek Mythology.
Notice here how the Greeks arrived at the word Geenna as a translation of the ancient Hebrew Hinnom, literally the Valley of Hinnom.
What was that?
WHAT WAS THE
VALLEY OF HINNOM?
The word that religion has used to scare the Hell out of people for hundreds and hundreds of years, is actually a garbage dump where the garbage was burned.
Now look at the picture above and for the very first time see an actual picture of hell.
There it is the Hinnom Garbage Dump outside of Jerusalem.
WHERE DID THE WORD HELL
COME FROM?
It's not in the Bible, its not Sheol or Gehenna.
When the English translators got hold of the Bible suddenly there was this word Hell, and that word has been used to frighten people and keep them in line for a long time.
HERE IS A SURPRISE
HELL CAME
FROM NORWAY
Do you know what this means?
The word is Norwegian.
It is from Norway.
Hel was the lady who ruled over the underworld.
One would suppose that the person in England who translated Gehenna into English had some relatives from Norway, and chose the word Hel.
A word that is constructed by religion to mean a fiery place where demons and devils roam about with pitchforks to terrorize people who have to live there forever.
But in reality, the identity of a Norweigan woman who ruled over a mythical place of the underworld.
DO YOU SEE
THE RELIGIOUS PERVERSION
OF A STORY,
TO GENERATE FEAR?
My reason for all of this is to try and get you to see just how religion has perverted the words of the Bible in order to frighten and control people.
What I want you to do.
The next time you hear the word Hell think of the Norwegian woman.
Kind of gives a new meaning to the phrase go to Hel, doesn't it?
How gullible people are, that we allow superstitions and misunderstandings from from long ago to sell us such stuff that has such a fearful effect on our lives .
We have allowed such deliberate fear peddling to do such damage to our minds, our lives, and to the world.
If you feel that this work has been meaningful and you could possibly help me keep it going. I would be most grateful. Bill CLICK HERE
