Rewards of the sun god. Christ (the sun god) as a model for the heroic individual

The sun god leads the sheep to bright pastures. Conquering death and the darkness. It's a model for what happens when we choose to be good despite our tragedies. This is a very old story. Far older than Christianity, though the Christian writers wisely incorporated it into their story. I have traced it as far … Continue reading Rewards of the sun god.

No Human Being Has Access To Knowledge Or Power That Is Not Accessible To Other Human Beings

This is a highly controversial statement, especially to my religious brothers and sisters. However, it is a fact that whatever is accessible to one man, whatever one man can learn, another can also learn. No man has magic eyes or magic ears. If there is a sound, we can all hear it. If there is a sight, we can all see it. To say otherwise is to give some men the right to lie and to force the rest of us to believe it. The word "force" is key here.

It is particularly relevant for those in positions of authority, such as religious leaders, cultural figures, politicians, and influencers. These individuals often position themselves as spokespersons for the divine, providing guidance on matters ranging from mundane issues to serious moral concerns. However, some who assume these roles exploit their positions, becoming self-proclaimed mediators between people and the divine. They dictate religious rulings, shaping followers' lives in various aspects, from personal choices to matters as grave as criminal punishments for perceived sins. Unfortunately, many of these figures lack moral integrity and often harbor desires for power, wealth, and control. Their hearts may be tainted with hatred and rage, and they frequently exhibit hypocrisy.

In addition to knowledge, human beings are also limited in terms of skills and skill mastery. Skills represent the ability to perform an action or a pattern of actions, and skill mastery is the ability to perform these actions at a high level. Examples include champion boxers, footballers, music artists, writers, and others who have attained a high level of skill mastery. These individuals are often celebrated globally and pedestalized at the top of our culture, creating a separation between them and others. Moreover, their success in skill mastery is often coupled with financial wealth, leading to fame.
