Theme: Agency

So again, joyce meyer goes through all sorts of therapy to get over a horrific childhood, becomes a preacher, and I listen to her preach now and then, and it’s just cognitive behavioral therapy using christian prose and god’s love, and it’s fking brilliant. IMO that’s perfect. most people I listen to are appealing to authority. They’re either mindless parrots, shallow pretenders, seeking attention. status, power. They’re horrible or even evil. Listening to this woman I never have the ‘cringe’ feeling that my people are being lied to or made ignorant – they’re being encouraged, educated, and emotionally empowered, in the very simple language of jesus in modern theraputic mode.

Now, talking to a friend the other day who is working on a reformed stoicism-epicureanism with aurelius as teh figure head, and I hope it works. Because that’s what the mainstream need.

Those of us able and willing to take on the world, and bend it to our will in the aryan tradition – we don’t need anything other than knowledge. We already have agency.

UPDATE:

I’m making the SINGLE POINT that the fundamental purpose of rligion is mindfulness and mindfulness is produced by cognitive behavioral therapy, and that we have discovered a range of CBT, and that submissive religion is ONLY one of them. The differnce is that the jesus character was revolutionary and provided the submissive and the underclasss a means of heroic virtue which as a consquence increased trust. The problem was the jews converted a perfect underclass religion to a political weapon to undermine the empires, and church converted that wapong to an institution that destroyed empirical european sense making, and greek and roman thought. The question I have is how to presereve the good and eliminate the bad, and what I see in this kind of ‘preacher’ is that. If you have enough agency to go without a submissive religion then the natural religions of teh euopean peoples are vastly superior – particularly stoicism-epicureanism, and aristotalianism-aryanism.
