Is anyone else feeling that some of the precipes within the category Predictions resemble cult structures? Is there a hidden agenda within that designation Predictions? The word control most readily comes to mind. I welcome any comments whatsoever upon this reflection.

Trinka. No hidden agendas, no 'cults'! I'd be interested to know why you think that there might be such things! Richard.

You are a fool. Anyone that takes this story for what it literally is saying is not going to have the mental fortitude to think outside the construct of the religions that they have been superficially raised to beleive. It is a story of hope. That maybe one day man can transcend the chains that we have all been born into. As Neitzche says life is pointless, trying to think that there is a God or even Alphomism is trying to give meaning to life outside of life. Any attempt to do this is a sacrifice of our earthly lives. This may be effective to keep us sain as a race, however, it is stopping our true capabilities as our race. Ass the sages would say we build up "heart" and people become to closed mind, like in a cult or a religion, and humans begin to kill each other.
If one takes Alphomism seroiusly, or take any religion to serious, then it stops the enlightenment of all people. To quote Karl Marx "Religions is the opuid if the masses." Religion keeps us content with our lives in the hope that when we die that life will then be bliss. That is not what I want. I want sage hood, I want enlightenment. This does not mean I need to sacrifice my morals, it means I need to suffer more than you to reach it. The ride to enlightement is paved with suffering. If you want to pussy out before that and believe in a fucking cult then that is your right. It ain't me babe. But it ain't easy!!!

Casey C,
Many thanks for your comments. I see that you have made more or less the same remarks on a new thread so I'll post my response there.
Richard.
