David icke and Rastafarians - What they have in common ?

 From an Abrahamic perspective more specifically an Islamic one The Jinns, Shaitans (spirits and devils) are real.

Their role and effects on making people ill, suffering, temptation, magic and suicide is clear for anyone "in the know" or whose heart has been opened up.

What is interesting though that in Islam we have more specific details in terms of their (the devils) plan. That is to tempt people into the worship of Idols, creation, and the spirits themselves.

For brevity i will pick two people, David Icke and Rastafarians. 

David has symptoms associated with demonic contact (automatic writing, prescience, channeling, hallucinations etc.) which i have heard throughout his speeches,  Rastafarians smoke "weed" which as the Quran states "is the Handiwork of the Devil" similar to shamanic tribes and pagan ritual worship.

 Both call to pure paganism. One to the creation the other to a man.

 

How sick are the western elites -- lessons from the Iraq War

 In 1990 when saddam hussein invaded Kuwait and was pushed out with ease by the Americans a question was posed at the time why didn't the Americans move on and topple saddam.

One of the reasons given (which is in youtube somewhere) was that it would cause mass sectarianism and destruction to Iraq. Given this knowledge the 2003 invasion was a "Sick" enterprise with "full knowledge of the destruction of Iraq.

How sick is the West? Or the Elites? This sickness is a hidden sickness within the foreign policy and machinations of those in power.

Argumentation and the apparent argument.

 In argument what is "being argued" is often structured (particular) in (belief arguments) on the roots of the belief and prejudices. The arguments themselves cannot be defeated because the roots of the argument (ie. the roots of the tree) are at risk. For example, an argument about immigration by someone who has a white supremacist belief structure, is not really about the benefits of immigration or lack thereof to that person.

The ability to see who is sincere and not is a requirement for engaging in an argument. 

Interestingly Wittgenstein proposed a kind of metadata for language. A new framework for language itself.

Buddhism, Spirit worship, Idolatry and Monotheism

Buddhism among cultures is usually a complementary form of practice. Complementing Idolatry, Hindu Gods and pagan ways of other cultures usually Dharmic in their Tenets of belief.

The relationship of Idol worship, spirit worship and new age philosophy is so intertwined that a common theme emerges. Sharing many features some of these can be listed:

1.  Dharmic tenets of belief (such as reincarnation, past lives).
2 . Use of channeling contacting the spirits.
3. Worshiping of Idols. 
4.  Belief of the importance of celestial objects. Energy, determining our future, or a point of worship.
5. Use of occult practices in various forms/representations.

 The "Western" version of this is within the new age framework philosophy and satanism. The old age "Sun, Moon worship" has become "Astrology and Age of Aquarius" types of beliefs. 

Jinn or spirit worship have become in the West" the "kundalini" experience "awakening" and channeling,

The occult is used as a framework in practice within Pagan religions. Often adverse affects, paranormal, psychotic and delusional are either controlled or uncontrolled. 

Let us not forget that Paganism has it's opposite in the Message of Moses, Jesus and Mohammad (peace and blessings be upon them all). The Abrahamic rooted faiths. The clear message of the prophets came in opposition to these ways and its avoidance. The message of worshiping the Creator alone with no partners, how to worship the creator inline with ones nature,  how to understand the nature and avoidance of the the devils and the limits of life in all respects (moral laws) and laws related to eating, drinking, and interactions.

From a quranic, Islamic perspective we can say that the "idol worship" in the time of Abraham and the "Celestial worship" (Sun, Moon) worship at the time of Abraham, Jinn (spirit worshipers) of old are ALL alive and "kicking" in today's world.

The greeks had intellect the Prophets brought wisdom

 With intellect you can study, solve puzzles, create things, investigate relationships and can enquire.

With wisdom of the prophets you can understand everything and apreciate the intellect.
