The more I read, see, hear, and experience the more convinced I am than ever that we all live under one form of tyranny and oppression or another. I’m not talking just about those who live under governments of which most of us will agree are tyrannical (such as these (http://www.therichest.com/rich-list/5-most-shockingly-oppressive-governments/)), but all governments including the United States government.
Tyranny and oppression can take many forms and degrees of severity. It can come in the form of false teachings and information designed to manipulate the victim(s) into believing what the oppressor(s) wants them to believe—generally to the advantage of the oppressor(s). For example, Eminent Domain has been used in this country to expropriate private property, ostensibly, for the “greater good.” Yet, like most powers the government has been granted, they are never enough (e.g., Eminent domain abuse violates private property rights (http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/246691-eminent-domain-abuse-violates-private-property-rights) and Foul Ball: Ten Cities that Used Eminent Domain for Sports Stadiums (http://ij.org/action-post/foul-ball-ten-cities-that-used-eminent-domain-for-sports-stadiums/)). How is it that the government can use its power to confiscate “private property” from many citizens for another wealthy citizen (or corporation) so they can “make” millions of dollars from the public for something as “necessary for the greater good” as a Sports Stadium?
An ever increasing number of people in this country have all they can do to keep food on the table, a roof over their head, and clothes on their back. They’re told that if they keep working hard and are persistent that they too will achieve the “American Dream” for themselves and their families. Yet, according to a 2013 NPR article, nearly 50 Million people live in poverty in the US (http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2013/11/06/243498168/how-many-americans-live-in-poverty). That’s less than 1 in 6 and I’m sure that number hasn’t improved in the last three years. Meanwhile the very rich continue to get very much richer. According to this US News Article (http://www.usnews.com/news/slideshows/top-1-percent-get-richer-as-world-wealth-gap-widens-says-oxfam), “in 2015, just 62 individuals had the same wealth as 3.6 Billion people.” That’s 62 people in the world who have as much wealth as half of the entire world’s population. And these individuals, and those who aspire to become one of them, believe they “earned” their money. If that mentality wasn’t so sick and twisted it would be laughable.
There are many, many more (and better) examples that demonstrate how we are being oppressed under an ever increasingly out-of-control tyrannical government, but I don’t want this to turn into a book and I want to say some things about spiritual and/or higher intelligences tyrannical control.
One of, if not THE, most important issue I have wrestled with most of my life that relates to this topic (i.e., Absolute Tyranny) is this: If there is a Supreme Being, God if you will, and that entity is truly omnipotent and the epitome of unconditional love, benevolence, caring, etc. (all the accolades we humans attribute to goodness), how could, and why would, that entity do nothing to put an end to war, hate, torture, murder, violence, oppression, poverty, hunger, disease, etc. that billions of people have suffered throughout humanity’s existence? Where is the unconditional love in that? And please don’t recite the “God works in mysterious ways” mantra. That statement illustrates to me complete capitulation and brainwashing (i.e., don’t question my/our authority). I’ll acknowledge that I’m only human and don’t pretend to understand an omnipotent intelligence, but it still seems to me that, if there is such a thing as good and evil (and not just IS) and we stupid humans can determine—at least to some degree—what is good and evil, right and wrong, that those concepts should not escape the Creator. And, if that is so, then the Creator must be playing a very bad game with us by creating us with these, seemingly innate, tendencies to do evil and then give us some rules to not do those things, but allow us to do those things to each other, and then, perhaps, punish us in some way (e.g., reincarnation to try again) if we do. This form of insanity I would more likely attribute to, what we refer to as, the Devil not an unconditionally loving God.
But what if it wasn’t a Supreme Being who created us and this sick world? What if it was a highly technologically advanced (albeit, spiritually challenged) civilization (or multiple civilizations) that created us as an experiment? This makes more sense to me, but then I have to wonder how any civilization could become so technologically advanced (and spiritually depraved) before destroying itself (or being destroyed by an even more advanced civilization)? Yet again, this begs the question: What created that/those civilizations? Is all of it some grand experiment—perhaps to see which will prevail, Good or Evil?
There’s no doubt that governments (and possibly ETs/EDs working with them or who have their own agenda) hold sway over us while we’re alive on Earth and if there is a Supreme Being Creator it holds sway over us in the Spiritual realm.
I have no answers, only a multitude of questions—far too many to even begin to address in a simple blog like this. But the point I’m attempting to make here is: if all governments and the Creator (or Creators) are no better than we individuals, how can any of us ever hope to escape the Absolute Tyranny?
What are your thoughts?
