do you have a legitimate source for this story?

No two human beings are endowed with the same talent and ability and only a hopeless ideologue can believe everyone is as capable of success as everyone else. Call it social Darwinism but only those with the strength of will and the most ability can rise up amongst the common mass of people.

I've recently chastised another member of the forum for holding to a view that seemed harmless on its face but was wicked at its root. This strength of the will idea is, indeed, Social Darwinism / Nietzscheism. I recently came across an early 20th century hermetic (occult) text, The Kybalion (see: Wikipedia), that deifies Herbert Spencer, the father of Social Darwinism, by saying that he was the reincarnation of old thinkers such as the Greek Heraclitus. Now, while the doctrine of reincarnation is evil and false, there is some truth to this statement, as all of the seemingly modern ideas are not modern at all, but are in fact ancient. These ideas are occultic and can mostly be traced back to old egyptian (and other) ancient mystery schools and medieval kabbalah texts. These occult doctrines are sold to the public in the form of "self-help" books. Yes, I am saying that those books that seem like harmless quackery are in fact the doctrines of evil spirits that came to an ancient Egyptian before the time of Christ who drunk a mesmerizing potion, or a medieval kabbalist Jєω who "channeled" spirits. This is why you have to be very careful with what you believe, because without knowing it you can be implictly inducted into a gnostic cult like Social Darwinism.

Your idea is false. The Epistle of James speaks about this doctrine:

Behold, now you that say: Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and there we will spend a year, and will traffic, and make our gain. [14] Whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow. [15] For what is your life? It is a vapour which appeareth for a little while, and afterwards shall vanish away. For that you should say: If the Lord will, and if we shall live, we will do this or that.

In other words, one should not say, "I am by the strength of will going to earn riches and fame in the world", one should humble oneself before the Lord and say, "thy will be done". This makes all the difference in the world. It's the difference between being a sinner and a saint. Your doctrine encourages willfulness, pride, godlessness, etc., whereas the one of James encourages obedience, humility, godliness, etc. One does not rise "through the ranks" by his own will. God decides whether or not you are going to "make it", and a lot of the time God allows people to "make it" in order to punish them for their willfulness and pride, and he rewards those that he loves not with wealth, but with poverty.

Did you know that both Hitler and another extremely influential 20th century figure, Cecil Rhodes, both are reported by some as having experienced visions / the influence of spirits before their rise to power? Look it up. Watch Hitler's speeches, the man was more or less possessed. And yet your doctrine of the will, der Wille zur Macht, would glorify people like Hitler and Napoleon. It is hero cultism, another ancient form of idolatry.

Good people, you should not be concerning yourselves with such fantasy wars as "Capitalism vs. Socialism". In reality, no such war is taking place. Do you think that the "capitalism" of the "republican" President Nixon was any different to the "socialism" of the "democrat" President Obama? Both presidents were serving the exact same group of people, and Satan by extension. It is Hegelian dilaectic, i.e. the people who control the media and the debate fund both sides of the argument in order to control all of the terms of the dialogue, so that they can keep people in safe bounds that they can control. If you are a "republican", they have TV shows and commodities just for you. If you are a "democrat", they have TV shows and commodities just for you. If you are a "capitalist", they have TV shows and commodities just for you. If you are a "socialist", they have TV shows and commodities just for you. Etc.

Don't fret over how Satan chooses to run his kingdom. It's always the same, even when the appearances change. The goal is and has always been getting people to worship anything that is not the True God. Things like rising unemployment rates and international wars ultimately do not matter, they are secondary phenomenon. What is spiritual is primary, what is material is secondary. These material punishments all come from God, and it's to chastise people for their idolatries. Worship the Holy Trinity, and worry not about GDPs and unemployment %'s.

What is spiritual is primary, what is material is secondary.

It's very easy for me to prove this. In the desert, the Devil offered Christ all the kingdoms of the world if Christ would bow down and worship him. If Christ had accepted this offer he would have been the greatest earthly king that there ever was. He would have cured diseases, built wondrous towers, put an end to all conflicts and wars in the world; in other words, he would have established the earthly Utopia that people have been dreaming about since the Renaissance/Enlightenment. He could have done all of this, and chose not to. Why? Because those things are trivialities, they are secondary. What Christ accomplished on the Cross was infinitely more than the combined efforts of all of history's conquerers, kings and emperors, because he accomplished something spiritual and not material, and the spiritual is primary, while the material is secondary. If Christ had established an earthly utopia instead of suffering on the Cross he would not have triumphed over the ancient serpent and there would be no redemption for any of us. Christ's life shows just how trivial the material world is. There are only two important events in history: the Fall in the Garden of Eden, and the Redemption that took place on the Cross. All the rest isn't history, it's gossip. Sacred history is the true history, secular history is what the writer James Joyce described as, "a nightmare from which I am trying to awake", it's a phantom.

Speaking of gnosticism and evil cults look at Wikipedia. There are many examples, but check this one out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/sɛҳuąƖ_desire_and_intimate_relationships

"The Triangular Theory of Love":


People, this may look innocuous but it is extremely, extremely evil. I am telling you that this triangle is more abominable than murder. What makes me almost want to despair is that this kind of thing is on Wikipedia and all over popular television, where young people are indoctrinated by this and become more or less the unwitting servants of these gnostic religions.

That entire article I've linked to is extraordinarily wicked. Every sentence is an abomination.
Look at this for example:

Although sɛҳuąƖ desire may not be as directly or reliably testable as sɛҳuąƖ arousal, which can be validly and reliably assessed by monitoring genital and other physiological arousal, no test exists that can truly, definitely measure sɛҳuąƖ desire.[7] Through the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain imaging techniques, hormonal assessment and self-report questionnaires such as the Passionate Love Scale (PLS) various cognitive and behavioural characteristics have been found to reliably identify sɛҳuąƖ desire across cultures[7] and distinguish it from other feelings of love and attachment.

Seems quite simple and innocent, doesn't it? It's just science, nothing to be afraid of. NO, it is very evil because what it does on a subliminal level is get people to think of themselves as machines, as souless robots whose so-called "loves" are just "epiphenomena" resulting from computation that takes place in the brain.

People, there are articles on Wikipedia telling people how to perform sex rituals that were once exclusively practiced by whores and "pornstars", and they represent them as being "just a normal way to express yourself". This is so devious, so evil.

We truly are living in an antichrist age.

If you are incredulous about these popular companies being really gnostic cults here is an example for you where it is obvious:



The video quality is poor, the music cheezy, and the translation rough; but the analysis is solid. When I first saw this video my reaction was, "that's evil, that is extraordinarily evil". I'd never had that reaction before in my life. I didn't really know what evil was until that moment. I was a doey-eyed fool who thought the greatest evil in the world was people wanting to go to war to exploit another people's resources. Once I had seen this video I knew the meaning of the term "abomination" as it is used throughout the Bible. I understood why God hated idolatry above everything.

These are the times we are living in. Idolatrous times.

Bad times, hard times, this is what people keep saying; but let us live well, and times shall be good. We are the times: Such as we are, such are the times.

This is not a true story.

Absolutely, and for good reason. The idea of "we all share in the wealth equally", can only be put into practice when people have conquered their worldliness, their desire for wealth. Having a society where people have no spiritual training, where they are still bound to sensuality and pleasure, and expecting them to have the self-denial to work for no worldly gain is impossible unless you enslave those people and put them to work with the whip.

Let it be reminded that religious life is indeed away from wealth but it is voluntary, not forced, like Communism.

Also Communism denies the importance of religion saying it is a bourgeois institution and holds the people down in a dream-like stupor so that they can be exploited, therefore monasteries are not "Communist."
