BIBLICAL DECEIT — HILARY L HUNT MD

All Christianity is based mainly on two suppositions or inferences lacking a basis in biblical fact. Simply stated, nowhere in the Bible does Jesus say he came to die as a sacrificial offering of appeasement of God the Father for our sins. In addition, nowhere does the Bible clearly state the reason why the Jewish hierarchy wanted Jesus dead. Furthermore, it seems perfectly clear to me that the ‘second neglect’ is prompted by the ‘first neglect’. Please allow me to explain.

As you will recall Moses psychologically impaled the Israelites with Ten Commandments and associated threats of certain retribution from God for infractions. Those in charge reasoned to a conclusion that God was perpetually angry with them because of their continued noncompliance. Therefore, it became obvious to them that God must be appeased. That appeasement came in the form of sacrificial ritual. Accordingly, a High Priest was appointed — he, alone, was allowed to make that sacrificial offering. Those offerings were of material goods, usually produce or animals, and were required to be a perfect specimen of its kind. Furthermore, because the specimens were mandated to be perfect, only the High Priest could produce them. Of course, they didn’t come free. The peasant sinners were required to purchase the perfect specimens from the High Priest — it became a lucrative mandate for the High Priest and King

Now, fast forward to Roman control of Judea. The Jewish hierarchy had established an agreement with Rome whereby Rome would allow the Jews to keep their form of ‘religious government’, but the Jewish peasants were required to produce for Rome. In other words, the Jewish people were being enslaved by both Rome and their own Jewish sacrificial government.

Enter Jesus — during Jesus’ lifetime, according to self-proclaimed historian Aslan, there were literally hundreds of zealots who, because of their oppression, aspired and conspired to organize armies and overthrow both the Roman and Jewish governments. They all met the same fate, crucifixion, which was the mode of death reserved for all traitors. Furthermore, those crucifixions were staged on the highest hill, Golgotha, along the road approaching Jerusalem — high visibility and warning to would-be traitors.

Jesus was a traitor of a different kind. He had no intention of overthrowing the rulers by force, but rather by subversion. Please allow me to elaborate this point — it defines Jesus — neither is it made clear by the writers and rewriters of the Bible. It is very clear to me that Jesus was a brilliant observer and thinker. He recognized a God far different from the vengeful God of the Israelites. Jesus’ God was perfect in all respects and differed from the Jewish God in two major aspects. He was all loving rather than vengeful. Just as important, God was in everything and everything was in God rather than a ‘grizzled old man-like God sitting in a cloud somewhere overlording his creation with a perpetual angry frown on his brow. Jesus saw God as all love — he could not possibly hate, hurt, or reject any part of his own creation. “Hear ye. Oh Israel, I’ll give you two commandments. You shall love your God with your entire being, and you shall love your neighbor as yourself (paraphrased)”. Jesus despised the Jewish sacrificial religion which constituted a double-edged sword for his people — oppression by the hierarchy and oppression by God as presented by that religion.

It is clear to me that it was Jesus’ teaching of an all-loving God which angered the hierarchy. Knowing that he would be crucified for his heresy, Jesus had hoped to have his teaching of love spread worldwide by his apostles and disciples. Therefore, he spent most of his public life in the hinterlands away from Jerusalem in the hopes of spreading the ‘good news’ (Gospel) to as many as possible before his apprehension. It is likely we will never know whether or not he was immediately successful, so corrupted is the written word. It certainly is obvious that ultimately, he was a near total failure — overtly, there have been few of us who shared his views throughout the centuries.

Those bishops who established the Holy Roman Catholic Church at the request of Emperor Constantine, some three hundred years after Jesus’ death, most certainly ignored his teaching of love. They explicitly reverted to the sacrificial religion of the Jews, only with a new twist — Jesus became the unbloody sacrifice. It is my understanding that such philosophy was not proclaimed immediately but rather was developed over several hundred years. In any event, Jesus has become the sacrificial lamb of appeasement of God the Father for our sins — I am convinced Jesus would reject that teaching one hundred percent.

Jesus’ only purpose for his teachings of love was to supplant the sacrificial, oppressive religion of the Jews. He wanted the world to know that God loves all his creation and accepts it just as he created it to function. He wanted us to know that so-called sin is not against God but rather against our fellow man — ‘thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself’.

So, with that explanation, it should be obvious that the generators of the 45,000 so-called Christian religions worldwide have distorted the written truth over the centuries to accommodate the validity of their existence — not one of them knows or preaches the Jesus and God whom I know. Not one of them has successfully, irrefutably defined the essence of their God. In truth, they can’t because their God is the God of the Jews — a total myth. I have made that definition of God’s essence — God is a Perfect Rational Being.

But, just as in Jesus’ day, the God of the Jews provides them with trillions of dollars annually to enrich their pockets while maintaining power and control over their constituents. That is what Jesus railed against — that’s what got him crucified. He was a traitor to the Jewish religion.

Jesus seemed to know, just as I know, that “God is a Perfect rational Being”. No one can refute that. I thank God that crucifixions are outlawed these days, or I would be hanging there with him. Jesus only intention and purpose was to be our Liberator — he would free us from the oppressive God of the Jews as imposed by Moses and show us the God of Perfect love.

I have elucidated that philosophy in succinct detail in my little book, Wilderness Cry. In addition, I have expounded on its ramifications thoroughly in my two books, Peace in Spirituality and Provocative Catholic.

PERFECT GOD –HILARY L HUNT MD

How many times have we heard God’s attributes listed as all-powerful, all-knowing, and all–Ioving, but how often do we hear of God as ‘all-perfect’? — I dare say, seldom. As with everything in this universe, there is a reason for that delinquency — one must understand what ‘perfect’ means. Since most purveyors of God’s attributes know but are unwilling to ‘profess science in religion’, the term ‘perfect’, when referencing God, is seldom used.

My contention suggests it is impossible to understand God’s perfection without knowing, understanding, and accepting ‘science’ —the only attribute which describes God completely.

Without accepting science as God’s only complete attribute, none of his other listed attributes have complete meaning. For instance, the ‘all-powerful’ attribute which millions have interpreted as meaning God can do anything they wish him to do, is as false as saying black is white. I can see you now, screaming and yelling at me as a blasphemer. Likewise, the all-knowing and all-loving attributes are meaningless without understanding the ‘all-perfect’ nature of God. Please allow me to explain.

The most fundamental thing we must understand is that there is a Perfect Rationality which pervades our entire universe. Otherwise stated, that means ‘there has never been nor will there ever be an occurrence which did not deliver a perfect consequence’.

As our understanding of the derivation and origin of our universe has developed, it has become apparent that everything in the universe had its inception at the moment of the so-called Big Bang, roughly 13.7-8 billion years ago. Instantaneously, our universe was filled with the ‘perfect particles of energy’ which gradually developed into the tangible entities as we know them today — instantly ‘change’ began.

We, less than perfect rational humans, have measured and designated the rate of that perceptible change in units called ‘time’. Additionally, we have recognized that every action delivers a perfect result for its set of inciting causes. That sequence represents the ‘Perfect Rationality’ which exists in our universe.

Accepting my definition of God’s essence as ‘A Perfect Rational Being’ demands that no change in God’s Perfection is possible. Therefore, all so-called miracles are impossible. God cannot possibly change his nature without destroying the perfect rational system he created. For instance, if a falling object failed to accelerate at the identical rate every time, nothing would be dependable, predictable, or manageable— we, nor anything in the universe could exist under that circumstance — failure of that principle of perfect rationality would cause immediate disruption and likely destruction of the entire universe.

Likewise, as we address the concept of an all-knowing God, most of us have been indoctrinated with the concept of a God sitting on a throne somewhere in heaven. As he sits and observes all happenings, he either smiles or frowns at our actions — he knows everything which happens. In addition, he is a perfect predicter of future happenings and has a plan for sending his Son, Jesus to separate the sheep from the goats — heaven for some—to hell for others. That, of course represents the widely held idea of the same God who can change his mind and be influenced by us — an ‘Alice in Wonderland’ concept of God dreamed up and perpetuated by purveyors of religion who refuse to honor the perfect rationality in our universe which describes God. My contention is that those perfect particles of energy perform perfectly, and consequently, their activity and results can be predicted forever — they are God — indeed all-knowing.

Now, the attribute of an all-loving God is frequently ‘sideswiped’ (dismissed) in many religions by the concept of a merciful God. That mercy can be administered only by a vengeful god who can be appeased only by compelling sacrificial offerings and begging. Historically, those meaningful sacrifices could/can be offered only by a qualified negotiator, a priest. Contrarily, the application of an understanding of a Perfect Rational God negates any possibility of a vengeful God who is capable of rejecting anything in existence — can God reject himself? Perfect Rationality demands Perfect love, choice, will, acceptance of that Perfection which is God.

So, the bottom line is this; God is Perfect which means he is complete. Nothing is missing. Nothing can be added. Nothing can be changed. Therefore, all religion is invalid because it either attempts to appease a vengeful god or it demands belief in the intentions and identity of a historical figure, Jesus of Nazareth.

Its fragmentation into 45,000 so-called Christian religions alone attest to its irrationality. Yet various forms of Christianity persist and multiply — akin to, a lethal virus spreading worldwide in pandemic fashion. Instead of bringing unity, religion spreads discord. Its irrationality dispels any possibility of like-mindedness which is the mandatory basis for peace.

In recognition of that terrible, destructive menace on our little planet, the lack of like-mindedness, I have repeatedly called for The Worldwide Communion of Spirituality — meaning, each of us recognizes and accepts that the Spirit of God is branded onto every perfect particle of energy in this universe — they are God — they are perfect in both form and function, they cannot be changed, they cannot be marked, they cannot be created nor destroyed by man, and not one, more or less, is in existence now than at the moment of their release at the Big bang. Until ‘that common like-minded recognition‘ comes to fruition, peace is impossible.

All religion is based on mythology, astrology, ignorance, and imagination — none coincides with the Perfect Rationality, God, who exists and reigns with absolute perfection in his and our universe. All religions perpetuate the lucrative scheme of control through authoritative power, resulting in wealth accumulation and empire building.

Jesus despised religion. He died in an attempt to supplant the Jewish religion of sacrificial appeasement of an angry, vengeful god with a philosophy of an all-loving God accompanied by an all-loving humanity — ‘Love your God with your all and love your neighbor as yourself‘ (paraphrased).

God’s Perfect Rationality accounts for the Perfect Truth System which exists in our universe — there is no truth outside that Perfect Truth System and it, itself, is contained in all the perfect quanta (energy particles) in existence — they are God.

All this philosophy is outlined in my books Wilderness Cry, Peace in Spirituality, and Provocative Catholic. You must read Wilderness Cry First, Then The others will have meaning. Growing Up In Fancy Farm Kentucky gives a historical and humorous glimpse into the imaginative, creative and adaptive pioneer character of the first twenty-two years of my life.

PHILOSOPHY- WITHOUT/WITH SCIENCE — HILARY L HUNT MD

Before we can begin a discussion of such crucial issues as philosophy and science, we must have an essential definition of those terms. Philosophy may be defined as a basic set of fundamental understandings derived from known or presumed truths (facts). Science may be defined as knowledge(truths) derived from known and/or provable facts.

We begin by considering that recorded human history began about four thousand years BC, coupled with the fact that the first known truth (science) occurred in 1498 AD. That incident involved Vasco da Gama sailing to India and back proving the earth to be round instead of flat. The ‘flat earth’ had been the ‘accepted truth’ upon which much erroneous philosophy had been based — despite that known, proven fact, the Pope and the Inquisition continued for three years to burn people to death for disclaiming the earth to be flat.

The next major ‘scientific’ discovery occurred one hundred eleven years later when Galileo discovered the sun to be the center of our universe (solar system) and not the earth which was a mandated belief to the point of being burned at the stake for non-believers. He, himself, was forced to recant his findings to escape incineration — as punishment, he spent the last nine years of his life under house arrest. During those years, he laid the groundwork for the scientific discovery for the rate of acceleration of a falling object, which was later developed and refined by Sir Isaac Newton.

Those two proofs served to lay the foundation for continued scientific investigation which accelerated at a torrid pace from that time on. Astronomy soon replaced the pseudoscience of astrology. Astronomers began to calculate distances to celestial objects — as both telescopes and curiosity improved, the science of astronomy became real. However, despite that fact, the Pope is said to have an astute astrologer at his side before making any serious decision up until the 1800’s. All religion was deeply rooted in pseudo-philosophy which was based on ignorance, mythology, astrology, imagination, witchcraft, and hearsay. Likewise, all concepts of God proposed by religion were based on those same superstitions.

That proposition created a situation whereby ‘everyone talked about God, but no one could define him’ — there were/still are as many gods as there are now, or ever have been, people on this earth.

Since its inception, science has accelerated at a feverish pitch. We know so much more now — we’ve put a man on the moon— sadly, we’ve created a tool capable of obliterating every living thing on this earth.

A mythological god exists in the minds of everyone who believes in God. Consequently, everyone’s philosophy about God and his environs (religion, eternity, heaven, hell, etc, and all such like considerations) is pure nonsense — all is based on ‘false premises’— no one can define his god.

On the other hand, science attempts to be more exact and in most instances is — biological sciences seem to be more slowly developed and understood than the other physical sciences. That is because the massive chemical structures, reactions, and interactions, of biological compounds and systems are more difficult to completely ascertain, define, and repeat — just because we are slow to understand doesn’t make them invalid — it just means we are slower in understanding that aspect of God’s perfection.

Every action, thought, reaction, and interaction has consequences. So, what are the consequences to humanity of being impaled with a philosophy which is based on mythology, astrology, etc.? From my perspective, the principal consequences of record which have pervaded human history from day one are disorder and discord. Humans have been fighting each other throughout the ages. Almost from day one, there have been alliances for mutual protection from enemies. However, as soon as the danger passes, alliances frequently loosen and even some break ranks and join others. Invariably, infighting of minor degree developed in the alliance— some state, nation, or ruler fails to do its part.

Given what I just said to be remotely true — one glance at today’s world will justify my statements — why do you suppose that is? I believe there are two basic causes. The first involves the fact that we are animals and, just like all animals, we tend by nature to be domineering and controlling. Long ago, some groups recognized the need for civility — gradually, the entire earth became civilized by necessity. However, greed did not disappear. The second, and I believe most important cause for disorder and discord, is lack of like-mindedness. And, what prompted that void? I will readily suggest to you, it is because no two persons have an identical understanding or picture of their God — everyone talks about God, but no one knows him— no one can define his essence. Therein lies the basic difficulty the world has encountered.

Why then can we not define the essence of our God? I would readily suggest there are two causes. Number one, all our current philosophy about God comes to us through the Bible which, itself, is based on mythology, astrology, ignorance, imagination and hearsay. Number two, and more importantly, concepts of God have never included Science. Without scientific understanding, all concepts of God are invalid.

I was fortunate to have a picture of God and the Trinity painted for me in 1958 by a young Jesuit retreat-master shortly before I graduated from Medical School at Saint Louis University. He told me to think of God as having a Perfect Intellect — that Perfect Intellect, having nothing else to reflect upon, looks inward and sees a perfect reflection of itself. Being in the supernatural, that reflection is a living being just as its generator — it is the Son, the second person of the Trinity. Those two Perfect Intellects, viewing each other perpetually, have no choice but to love, choose, will, accept each other — the Holy Spirit or Will Of God. Instantly, I saw the picture, but I couldn’t explain it to myself or others because I couldn’t relate to the Perfect Intellect —what was it— I did not know the scientific basis for it — I still could not define the essence of God.

Fortunately for me, and I hope and trust for you, after sixty-five years of searching, I found the scientific explanation for the philosophy of my God’s essence — Quantum Mechanics (particle physics). There I learned that there is a Perfect Rationality which pervades this universe — every truth in this universe is found in that Rationality —it constitutes a Perfect Truth System outside of which there is no truth. Cumulatively, all those particles, (quanta) which are perfect in form and function, are indivisible, are unmarkable, are unchangeable, and cannot be created nor destroyed by man, exist in eternity, but they form the substrate for everything in our changing, temporal universe— they are God.

Finally, I was able to do something never before done — I was not only able but also mandated to define my God’s essence— God is A Perfect Rational Being. That definition is all inclusive and it is irrefutable.

The ramifications of that understanding are staggering. They completely obliterate and annihilate every thought we ever had about any god or religion — all are invalid — we must now start anew. We must change our thinking and our visualizations completely.

In summary, it is easy to see that philosophy which is based on mythology, astrology, imagination, and the likes has no relationship to science (truth) and furthermore, is totally irrational, bearing no relationship to reality. Therefore, the Bible, from which all concepts of God and all ensuing Christian religion was/is based, is totally irrational and is the epitome of pseudo philosophy. However, that is exactly what the world has been shackled with for near six thousand years. Contrarily, philosophy which is based on known, provable facts, science, is completely rational and trustworthy but has been completely ignored by so-called Christian religions. The reason for that is obvious — acknowledgement of scientific facts would instantly invalidate them and their ’cause’ — power, control, and money — they have no inclination to destroy their power base.

It should be noted once again that no one can prove or disprove the existence of a Supreme Being. However, knowing the perfect composition and perfect rational function which exists in our universe, as described by Quantum Mechanics (particle physics), makes it more rational than not for me to accept the concept of ’A Perfect Rational Being’ who not only imagined and created this magnificent, tumultuous, perfectly functioning universe but also who manages it and keeps it perfect — for want of a better term, I call it God.

Consequently, the good news is this — all can now become like-minded. We all can have the same identical understanding of who God is — finally, our billions of mythical gods can be abolished forever. We can have peace.

It will take a staggering effort on everyone’s part to make that conversion come about — grass root understanding is very important. However, it will never happen until the purveyors of religion accept this new scientific doctrine and preach it worldwide. The Stronghold of power and control with resultant extraction of money must be broken — a monumental undertaking to say the least. Please don’t hold your breath — maybe someday before we self-destruct.

While we wait, once again, I call for the acceptance of The Worldwide Communion Of Spirituality which demands each of us to understand and accept that the Spirit of God, The Holy Spirit, The Will of God is branded onto every perfect particle of energy which constitutes ever gravid object in existence in this universe. That, my friends, is like-mindedness.

That basic scientific philosophy is spelled out in my first book, Wilderness Cry. It is carried to its logical conclusions in Peace In Spirituality, and Provocative Catholic. In addition, I have published a semi auto biographical and historical account of my first twenty-two years of life in Growing Up In Fancy Farm Kentucky. I believe you will find each intriguing — Amazon-Kindle and from me, autographed (handg@comcast.net).

AGGRIVATIONS, FRUSTRATIONS, DISAPPOINTMENTS, AND GOD’S PERFECTION — HILARY L HUNT MD

How many times in an average day do we experience frustrating aggravations and/or disappointments? I dare say most active people experience such unpleasant events many times each day. In my own personal life, while working in my gardens, I will notice at least dozens daily—something is always snagged, out of line, or won’t function the way I want.

So, with that little intro, how should we react to such situations and, more importantly, why. Before we can logically address those questions, we must consider their source—and what is their source? — God’s Perfection.

The totality of knowledge (truth) in our universe is contained in all the quanta of energy of which everything is made and represents at a minimum the Perfect Rationality of our God’s Perfect Intellect, and includes the imprint of his Perfect Will, The Holy Spirit. So, everything that happens in our universe is perfect for its set of circumstances. Furthermore, none of that would apply in a different universe where a different knowledge base (truth system) exists. In fact, it is entirely possible that neither universe would/could recognize the other or, even know the other exists.

To help clarify and fully understand, let’s review what God’s Perfection is. I have defined God’s essence as ‘A Perfect Rational Being’ with no equal nor superior. That Perfect Rationality is exhibited by each tiny particle of energy of which everything in ‘our universe’ is made—notice, I said our universe. I am not suggesting there are other universes, but neither I can’t exclude the possibility. However, if such were the case, that universe would likely be the result of another Perfect Rationality with a different nature from ours. In other words, truth that pertains in our universe would not necessarily apply in the other. Sound crazy? Well maybe but hear me out.

All that talk about another universe with a different perfect rationality is, of course, purely speculative. Despite that fact, if another universe exists with the identical Truth System as ours, it would necessarily be generated by the same Perfect Rationality as ours—our God.

So, let’s get back to the nuances of everyday life. Before I became aware of our God’s essence, I reacted to them with anger, frustration, disappointment, disillusionment etc.—I simply didn’t want those frustrations. However, with my current understanding, I realized most of them were caused by me and my rebellious nature—I didn’t understand God’s Perfect rationality before.

Now, with such occurrences, I have to chuckle to myself and say, “that’s another example of God’s Perfection”. That ideation doesn’t lighten the workload, but it helps me to be more careful and patient. As an afterthought, I spend at least half my time talking to myself saying the same thing, “it’s God’s Perfection”.

I am constantly reminding myself that, if all those untoward actions and reactions did not occur and always in perfect fashion, nothing in this universe could or would be reliable and functional—everything would be a complete failure from its inception. That, of course, means we, nor anything we know of would be here.

It is God’s perfect knowledge-based truth system which makes everything possible including all our frustrations. Simultaneously, it is that same system which makes possible all the joy and happiness we experience for having accomplished something worthwhile using that identical system.

The System is Perfect—we just got to understand it and respect it for what it is— our God. We will never know and understand it all, but as a world society, we are learning more and more of God’s perfection daily. Meanwhile, that same knowledge has made it more likely that we may soon self-destruct, and for what reason? —power, control, and riches (money). The logical question then is, how did we come to this point?

The answer to that question is multifaceted, indeed, but from my perspective, the least common denominator of it all is lack of like mindedness about our creator God—our Perfect Rational Being. Every god of any kind ever suggested is a pure myth. Each person has his own god just as each child has its own Santa. Most of those gods have been deemed to be vengeful and demanding of appeasement— ‘religion’ came into being to satisfy that deemed demand. One might think and certainly would hope that religion would be an ameliorating factor in promoting like mindedness. However, vast experience has shown us just the opposite. Religion of any and all kinds has been the most divisive factor of all. Not only has it fostered and promoted perpetual hostilities among us worldwide but, by its basic irrational nature, it has enticed solution-seekers to dream up more destructive schemes of societal function such as socialism and communism.

Just look at our globe today—it could go up in a giant fireball any second. And what is to blame? —irrational religion and ideologies. All religion is irrational because not one of them I am aware of recognizes and respects our Perfect Rational Being as God. Until they humble themselves to that recognition, there can be no like mindedness—therefore, no peace is possible. Of course, doing so would negate the need for their existence, which means it’s not likely to happen anyways soon.

So, having said all that, we can help the cause of like mindedness and peace immeasurably by doing the following: when anything we attempt hits a snag such as inadvertently setting a cup too close to the edge and having it crash into pieces, or slip on an icy step and sustain an injury, or playing with our phone while driving, wreck our car, or grapple with a piece of netting which snags one time after another, or a billion other such occurrences, just quietly chuckle and say to ourselves, “it’s God’s Perfection”. Then we are becoming more tolerant of our own and other’s deficiencies–-just as Jesus commanded, we are loving our God and our neighbor as ourselves.

I have written extensively on these subjects. If you have not already read Wilderness cry, please do so. Then Peace in Spirituality and Provocative Catholic will ring true for you. Growing Up In Fancy Farm Kentucky may tickle your fancy.

SELFISHNESS – THE UNIVERSAL EVIL — HILARY L HUNT MD

You may wonder at the validity of this title – just what does it mean. Well, selfishness may be defined as ‘anything directed at self’. So, as we observe and investigate, we note that literally nothing escapes that singular notation. And, of course, as with every truth in this universe, selfishness is no different –God made it ‘to be that way’.

It is likely that, just as I, you were taught and led to believe that selfishness was a sin. That’s because we did not understand the parameters of selfishness or sin. We know that the concept of sin was introduced by Moses to help him in the civil management of his flock. So, considering that, let’s examine the parameters of selfishness.

Every living thing in this universe has needs —food, hydration, shelter, reproduction. For those needs to be fulfilled, it is an absolute necessity that those requirements be directed at self. So, are they to be categorized as sin? – I think not. Extremes of selfishness which we call greed has not been catalogued by the Catholic Church as one of the seven Cardinal Sins — Pride, Covetousness, Lust, Anger, Gluttony, Envy and Sloth. However, I’d bet a bunch that the cataloguers squabbled quite a bit about whether or not it should be.

Sin, of course, was/is considered to be an offense against God — we hurt God’s feelings — make him unhappy — displeased him. I have shown many, many times in my books and other writings that such ideation is pure foolishness. God is A Perfect Rational Being and, as such, cannot possibly be hurt, displeased, or pleased. Such change in demeanor or attitude would immediately negate God’s perfection and, would, simultaneously, bring him out of eternity — remember, change equals time — there is no time in eternity.

What we are doing with extremes of greed, and any other activities known as sin, is hurting and displeasing our fellow man —we are sinning against our neighbor —we are violating ‘The Golden Rule” and Jesus’ command for us to love our neighbor as ourselves. Again, I have shown that we do not have to ‘like’ (like implies a pleasant sensual experience) anyone or anything, but we must ‘love’ (accept) our neighbor as he/she is.

Then, how is everything in the universe selfish? Again, I have shown in my writings how that even inanimate entities are perpetually selfish. Every grain of sand is constantly bearing down on its neighbors in an attempt to create a bigger, better spot for itself. Likewise, ever solid gravid object is doing the same. Gases will distribute themselves evenly throughout the extent of any space. The elements of wind and precipitation are gradually wearing away the rocks, mountains, and any structure which attempts to block their paths — in time, all will be reduced to a flat surface which offers no resistance. Why do you suppose that is? Without doubt, if there is a God, and I believe there is, it is because God allowed his universe to begin and evolve through a process of built-in imbalance called entropy. That imbalance ensures that change is perpetual — everything is changing in an attempt to come to an equilibrium.

That imbalance(entropy) creates a perpetual ‘need’ in everything. Those needs demand change, and change is measured in units which we call ‘time’. Consider this; if there were no needs, there would be no change; if no change, there would be no time; if no time, only ‘eternity’. We know that God exists in eternity. We also seem to know that at the moment of the ‘big bang’ God release his energy in the form of quanta of several different types. A quantum is the smallest particle of energy, which is perfect in both form and function, is unchanging and unchangeable, is indistinguishable from its counterparts, can neither be created nor destroyed by man, and cannot be further subdivided. As such, each exist in eternity just as God — collectively, they are God.

At the moment of their release, they instantly went about doing perfectly what they were designed to do — they formed the protons and neutrons which make up the nuclei of every atom, and together with electrons, they ultimately formed all the atoms of every element in the universe. Those atoms, of course, have needs and thereby react with other atoms to form compounds of all sorts and descriptions, and ultimately formed all the structures in our universe today. More importantly, at the moment of their release, change in the universe, time, began.

So, here we are nearly fourteen billion years later, and perpetual change continues. Knowledgeable physicists tell us that the universe will likely last another 75 to 100 billion years before it finally ‘balances itself’, and selfishness and time ceases — all will have returned to the ‘singularity (God) from whence they came.

So, you see, without selfishness, we, nor anything else, would be here. Likewise, do you see how ignorant, superstitious, and greedy men have created innumerable cultist religions, all feigning an attempt to appease an angry God?

The native Americans and many other cultures recognized the presence of God in everything. They had no scientific knowledge, but their instincts told them so.

It is scandalous to say the least, but I’ll have to ‘cut the early Israelites a little slack’ — they were stone-cold ignorant — they knew not one basic scientific fact. However, the King and High Priest, soon discovered how lucrative their religion could be. Guess what — they seized upon that discovery with selfish ’greed’. Remember what Jesus had to say about them? He called them ‘a den of thieves’ — a brood of vipers — he overturned their moneychangers’ tables and drove them from the temple — such was his zeal.

Three hundred years later, those who formed the Holy Roman Catholic(universal) Church at the behest of Emperor Constantine, totally ignored Jesus’ teaching of an all-loving God, and, while using his name as a shield, fashioned a church exactly after the format of Judaism — with them in total control, of course —I doubt their sincerity.

I cannot, however, cut modern-day churches any slack. The science has been exposed now — ignorance, mythology, superstition, astrology, and witchcraft have long-since gone ‘out the window’. They persist, however, in religion — I wonder why.

Have you ever taken note that power and control = money? I have, and I’ll bet my last dollar that, if the ‘money-well dried up’, those who masquerade as our ‘spiritual caretakers’ would vanish like ghosts in the night. What do you think?

I have elucidated this concept to the fullest in my books, Wilderness Cry, Peace In Spirituality, and Provocative Catholic. In addition, I have published a semi-historical and humorous book about my ‘pioneer childhood’, Growing Up, In fancy Farm Kentucky. I believe you would do yourself well by their reading.

SCIENCE AND RELIGION — HILARY L HUNT MD

Many of you have heard the expression that someone or something ‘hates …. like the devil hates Holy Water’. I firmly suspect that nowhere in history has that dictum been more applicable than in the relationship between religion and science. So, we are free to apply it here—Religion hates science like the devil hates Holy Water.

From an historical perspective, we are aware that all religion was generated in the pseudoscience of astrology, combined with mythology, superstition, and imagination– that was all those ancient philosophers had to rely on. It started for mid-east and old-world western religions some twenty-four hundred years ago with the Egyptians recognizing the ‘Zodiac’ and assigning certain influences to it. From there, it evolved into a myriad of gods and goddesses who exerted specific controls and influences on their lives.

Eventually, the Hebrews recognized a singular God who created and controlled everything in their universe which amounted to what they could see—sun, moon, stars, comets, and planets. They had no idea about the real universe they lived in—trillions of galaxies containing billions and trillions of stars and other celestial bodies. They had no idea that a light beam traveling 186,000 miles per second would require 100,000 years to traverse the face or our galaxy, the Milky Way, alone — recorded human history is only forty-five hundred years old — such was their collective ignorance.

Simultaneously, the Far-easterners, and inhabitants of the New Western world, the Americas, recognized the presence of eternal being(s) which existed in everything as well as in some faraway places in the sky—whatever their collective imaginations dictated. In turn, each group worldwide developed its own set of understandings of their god(s) and, furthermore, many devised methods of honoring and/or appeasing their god(s). That appeasement came in the form of sacrificial religion with some sacrificing live humans as the offering.

As far as I can determine, the Hebrews were the only group who developed a God patterned exactly after their own nature—he could be loving or hateful, merciful or vengeful, accepting or rejecting. More importantly, he could be bargaining. Even though he was all-powerful, the Hebrews believed they were obliged to create contracts with their God and ‘hold his toes to the fire’. By their own admission, they ‘got their tail feathers singed’ when God reneged on the first contract and allowed King Nebuchadnezzar to destroy the temple. But they were persistent and ‘made God’ honor the second one—such was their collective imagination, arrogance, and audacity.

We are familiar with ‘the rest of the story—Jesus. The Jews had Jesus killed for teaching heresy—love of God and neighbor. In fact, I am convinced that the Jewish Christians who formed the Holy Roman Catholic Church, and those who wrote and rewrote the Gospels were very careful not to state specifically what Jesus was teaching that justified his being called a traitor, thereby mandating crucifixion — we have to ‘read between the lines’ to extract that understanding. Had they openly admitted to his traitorous teachings, they would have been forced to humble themselves to ordinary human existences as Jesus suggested.

However, those bishops who formed the Holy Roman Catholic Church in the year 325 AD, having already experienced the bonanza of power, control, and lucre, were not the least bit inclined to honor Jesus’ teachings of humility and love. Instead, in direct defiance of Jesus, they formulated a Church patterned exactly after Jewish sacrificial ritual with them as the controller and dispenser of Divine graces.

Mind you, at that point in time, there still was no scientific information available—the earth was flat; the earth was the center of the universe; the celestial bodies exerted supernatural powers over them, ala astrology; the earth was supported on five crooked, wobbly legs and was always in danger of falling into the netherworld below. They knew no truth, but they did know how to put and keep themselves in total control while milking the hard-earned resources of their subjects—the very thing which Jesus railed against that got him killed.

Things went well for them and their new-founded Church as long as Constantine and his son who followed him as Emperor of the Roman Empire were alive. However, with the fall of the Roman Empire, their powerbase was destroyed and, to put it mildly, all hell broke loose. There was a parade of bad Popes; priests and popes alike became sexual predators; squandering popes depleted the Vatican coffers prompting the sale of indulgences to rich people who aspired to have a glimmer of hope of getting to heaven — an indulgence is vehicle by which a certain amount of time in Purgatory can be reduced. Not all popes were bad, but many turned to ascetics such as Jerome and Augustine for answers to philosophical questions such as original sin and the role and/or value of women in the church. Women became so deprecated in Jerome’s estimation that they represented sin—were it not for women, men wouldn’t/couldn’t sin. According to Bart Ehrman, professor of Bible and Religion at North Carolina University, Jerome, in translating the Bible from Greek to Latin, either eliminated or dramatically changed any reference to anything good about women.

In the meantime, because of power struggles between Rome and the Eastern Church, generated mainly by disagreements about married priests and sexual matters in general, plus a lingering argument about the Holy Spirit, a complete split occurred beginning in 1054. In 1095, the Pope instigated the Crusades to win back the Holy Land which had been conquered and occupied by the Mohammedans. The Crusades lasted intermittently until 1396.

Two hundred years earlier, the inquisitions were instituted to eliminate witches and to protect the earth from falling into the netherworld by unlawful sexual activity—sexual intercourse was prohibited on any elevated structure and violators were burned at the stake. That prohibition was generated by the superstitious idea that the shaking caused by sexual activity on an elevated structure could cause the earth to topple from its wobbly legs into the netherworld below. The Church seemed to be in near-total shambles — there still was no science— witches ran wild and even managed to get to the New World —witness the Salem Witch Trials.

In the year 1497 science began to rear its head — Vasco da Gama sailed to the Far East and back proving the earth was round but three years passed before the Pope ceased burning people at the stake for denying it was flat. Then, in the early 1600’s, Galileo discovered the sun to be the center of our solar system. He escaped burning at the stake by making a public recantation of his findings before the Inquisition. However, he spent the last nine years of his life under house arrest.

Science was beginning. The word science comes from the Latin word Scientia which means knowledge which of course, is truth. Prior to Vasco da Gama and Galileo there was little if any pure truth known. The great Greek and Roman philosophers based all their premises on astrology and mythology. Therefore, all their conclusions were false. Thomas Aquinas, whose philosophy the Catholic Church adopted, also based his methodology on Aristotelian philosophy. Aquinas, for purposes of staying in line with biblical and Church teaching, developed a dualistic philosophy which puts God in one place and his creation in another–not only two different places but also two different natures.

So, fast-forward to today. Shortly after taking office, Pope Francis is said to have stated that there is no such place as hell — that idea had been dreamed up by the Church to scare people into submission. In addition, in response to the conservative outcry at his apparent liberalism, the Pope said: ‘None of the rules have changed. We just got to stop talking about them’ (paraphrased). It seems obvious to me that statement was intended to infer that ‘with the passage of time, the Church could pretend the rules never existed in the first place and purge them from the system’ — all that designed to stem the tide of people dropping out of the Church.

Many great thinkers, among whom I disclaim membership, throughout the centuries, have recognized the presence of God ‘in all his creation’. That is, in fact, what Jesus taught us— ‘split a piece of wood, and I’ll be there; lift a rock and find me there’ (paraphrased).

Since I have irrefutably defined the Essence of God as; God is A Perfect Rational Being, and since the understanding of Quantum Mechanics (particle physics) clearly demonstrates that everything in this universe is ‘perfect’ in both form and function, it is not only logical, but I believe mandatory, to accept the premise that nothing in existence can be unless the Holy Spirit (Will of God) resides within it. That understanding means that God is certainly in everything as Jesus, Saint Francis of Assisi, Meister Eckart and many others have proclaimed. That understanding also brings God and science into ‘perfect unity and harmony — God is science — God is Perfect Truth — there can be no truth outside God’s Perfect Truth System which is demonstrated conclusively by the perfection of every basic particle of energy (quantum) in existence.

So, where does that leave us? I do not know about you, but I do know about me— it left me ‘crying out for truth’ from a wilderness of mythology, astrology, witchcraft, superstition, Ignorance, and imagination’. I was forced to embark on a journey of understanding.

What I have observed during the last seventy years is a continuous ‘squirming’ by the Church to gradually bringing itself into some scientific alignment without losing credibility. Its plan seems to be a subtle, long-term acceptance of scientific principles, and an equally subtle ‘sweeping under the carpet’ of archaic and erroneous ideas as the generations go by — knowing that those who remember will soon be gone, and those remaining have little or no interest in studying history. So, the Church pretends — ‘it’s always been that way’.

It truly breaks my heart to say this, but I know of no religion or ‘so-called Faith’, now or ever, which teaches anything remotely similar to God’s truth — I know of no legitimate religion.

I have elucidated these findings and many, many more in my books, Wilderness Cry, Peace in Spirituality, and Provocative Catholic. In addition, I have published a semi-autobiography, Growing Up in Fancy Farm Kentucky. All are available Amazon-Kindle.

THE GOSPEL OF THOMAS (revised) — HILAY L HUNT MD

It is very likely that many, maybe most, of you have never heard of The Gospel Of Thomas. In truth, neither had I until about thirty years ago. In my research, I accidently discovered a reference to it, and being inquisitive, I purchase a book, edited by Ron Cameron, titled, The Other Gospels. What I discovered was a rather ‘eye-opening’ history of which I was unaware. It represents part of a cache of Coptic Christian writings found in a cave in 1945 at Nag Hammadi, Egypt. Furthermore, it seems clearly to predate the Canonical Gospels for two reasons. It appears to be Jesus talking directly to his disciples, with Thomas as the transcriptionist, and more importantly, it contains no mention of Jesus’ Pasion, Crucifixion, Resurrection, etc., as do the four Canonical Gospels. That, of course, implies it was written while Jesus was alive.

While first reading it, I was taken aback by some of Jesus’ statements and proclamations. His apparent description of God as being in all things, and being the ‘soul’ of everything, seemed to me to be in stark contrast to the ‘dualistic’ nature of the God which I had been taught in my Roman Catholic upbringing and education. I had always been taught that God was separate from his creation. He resided in Heaven, a ‘place’ somewhere in the sky where he was able to observe everything that went on in his universe. In fact, in the Old Testament, God is described as being very ‘vengeful’ and ‘hostile’ at times. However, he could show ‘mercy’, but one had to beg incessantly, and even ‘bargain’ with God to get it.

Well, also, there was a time when rich people could actually buy God’s mercy. You know, that seems like a paradox to me because, in one of the Canonical Gospels, Jesus is quoted as saying, “it would be easier for a camel to go through the needle’s eye than for a rich man to get to heaven”. Think about that for a second—the very thing that separates man from God, money, could be used by that same man to buy a ticket into God’s Heaven—hmm. Well, we know, of course, what he really was buying was a ‘clear conscience’, while, at the same time, enriching the Vatican coffers which had been depleted by squandering Popes. By the way, for the uninitiated in Roman Catholicism, that ticket was/is known as an ‘indulgence’. Later on, those tickets (indulgences) were attached to prayers—every prayer in my thick daily missal granted a varying number of days indulgence (reduced time in purgatory) by its reciting.

Certainly, there was never any notion taught to me that God lived in me, or a rat, or a grain of sand, or a flower etc.. It is possible, however, that God, once upon a time, might have lived in snakes, because snakes could actually talk to humans way back when—of course, they can’t now—well, maybe they do, and we just can’t understand them. Anyhow, years later, after Jesus’ death, the Apostle, Paul asserted that we are ‘temples of the Holy Spirit’—don’t you just wonder what his understanding of that statement was? —I do. It seems clear to me that likely no one, including Paul, understood what he was saying. I am allowed to say that because roughly three hundred years later, the squabbling Bishops who met in Nicaea, at Emperor Constantine’s behest, to form an ‘official Christian (catholic) Church, certainly didn’t know, and still don’t—they have yet to define the essence of God or the Trinity—I have done both.

It was several years later, while studying particle physics (Quantum Mechanics), that the Gospel of Thomas (Jesus’ direct words) began to ring true. Jesus was instructing them, unequivocally, that everything resided in God, and that God resided in everything. The Gospel of Thomas gave me the ‘Philosophical basis’, and Quantum Mechanics gave me the ‘Scientific Basis’ for defining unequivocally, and irrefutably, the essence of God—God Is A Perfect Rational Being. That definition not only allows for, but demands Trinity, and, furthermore, makes a graphic, visual understanding of Trinity God possible. I will explain one more time here:

God, with his Perfect Intellect reflects upon himself. That reflection, being in the supernatural, is a living being, God the Son, identical to the Father and Perfect in every respect. Those two Perfect individuals visualizing each other perpetually have no choice except to love, choose, accept, will each other. That loving, choosing, accepting, willing each other is the Holy Spirit or The Will Of God. So, there you have a simple, clear, easy to visualize, graphic pictorial of the Holy Trinity — something we have always been told was unintelligible to us humans. The reason we were always told that was because the tellers didn’t, and still do not, know the essence of the God of whom they speak. Without that essential definition and understanding, they could not possibly understand a Trinity God. The Church, in its ignorance has ascribed the Son (second person of the Trinity) to Jesus — nothing could be farther from the truth. Jesus was a zealot of the highest degree. His intention was to supplant the oppressive religion of the Jews with an understanding that God is All Love. Jesus was a human genius who recognized God’s presence in everything, including himself. He knew he would be killed for his zealotry, but he had hoped to convert the entire world to understanding and accepting God’s Love through the missionary work of his apostles — he was a monumental failure.

His failure is clearly demonstrated by those who formed the Holy Roman Catholic Church some three hundred years after his death. They reverted right back to the Jewish sacrificial religion, as exhibited by their institution of the sacrifice of the mass as a substitute religion for Judaism — it’s still going strong to the tune of over two billion Catholics worldwide.

The Gospel Of Thomas clearly shows Jesus’ genius mind at work, disparaging organized religion as being, not only of no practical value, but rather a major detergent to peace. Instead of being a uniting force, religion sets people against each other—witness the constant turmoil existing among Christians, Muslims and Atheistic Communists today. Rather than worshiping and attempting to appease a mythical god, sitting in some ‘ethereal palace’, Jesus commands us to see God in everything in order to find inner peace and communion with God and his creation.

We have to understand that every creature is ‘our friend’ in God. You might object by observing that snakes, ticks, spiders, mosquitos, chiggers etc. bite us—so would bears, wolves, alligators, lions, tigers, etc. kill and eat us. However, we, in turn, do the same to them. The reality is that they, as well as we, have to eat in order to survive. Just as we, they are doing what God designed them to do. When we come to recognize God’s presence in everything, we see clearly that, in reality, all of God’s creatures are feeding off him—we exist in a massive, self-contained and self-sustaining selfish system of perfect rationality, which is God. Simply stated, homo sapiens just happens to be the latest creature to appear in Gods evolutionary plan—wouldn’t you love to know what comes next—I certainly would. However, I might not like being here— very likely, I would be the hunted rather than the hunter. Since the earth is predicted to exist another five billion years or so, that creature, and, maybe, many more are in God’s evolutionary plan.

Jesus ‘exhortations’, found in the Gospel of Thomas, continue to be ignored, as they have been since his death—they actually killed him because of them. He was a traitor—his philosophy would have destroyed their power base and eliminated their ‘money-grubbing’ control over their subjects by supplanting their sacrificial religion of appeasement with a communion of ‘lovers’ —all would see God in everything —all would accept Jesus’ command to love God and our neighbor— peace would prevail.

Four or five years ago, I issued a plea for the recognition and acceptance of The Worldwide Communion of Spirituality. That plea is for the recognition and acceptance that the Spirit (Will) of God is imprinted onto every particle of energy of which everything in existence is made. Therefore we, and everything in existence represent a ‘mirror image’ of God—should God be fighting himself? I think not—what do you think?

I have outlined my philosophy, as supported by The Gospel Of Thomas, in my two books, Wilderness Cry, and Peace In Spirituality. You could enrich your New Year by their reading with an ‘open mind’.

Since the above post was made, I have published another book, Provocative Catholic. It shows how religion of any kind is the main cause of discord in the world. It also shows that all religion is false and cultist because all worship a god which is mythical. I am not only allowed but mandated to say ‘mythical’ because not one of them can define the essence of their god. I have defined the essence of my God thus: God is a Perfect Rational Being. That definition dispels the myth of all known organized religions. Furthermore, it shows conclusively that our only ‘justifiable prayer’ is thanksgiving. Also, it offers a ‘foolproof’ plan for peace.

By the way, the word eucharist means thanksgiving, but the Catholic Church and its near mimickers have made it into a ‘sacrificial’ offering–-they are still trying to appease an angry god just as the Jews were doing two thousand ago when Jesus called them hypocrites, a den of thieves, and a brood of vipers. Jesus despised religion and readily said so.

In addition to Provocative Catholic, I have published a semi-autobiography of my formative years, Growing Up in Fancy Farm Kentucky. I believe you will find it both educational and entertaining. All are available worldwide Amazon-Kindle, and from me, autographed—handg@comcast.net.

PHILOSOPHY-HILARY L HUNT MD

PHILOSOPHY- just what exactly is ‘philosophy’? Well, philosophy has been defined several different ways, and I will offer you my definition. Simply stated, philosophy is a set of understandings about any given subject based on known or presumed facts. Please note that word ‘presumed’. Throughout recorded history, presumptions have created constant turmoil in our world society(ies).

For instance, literally all of our philosophy has been based on premises which later were proven to be incorrect—the earth was flat and supported on five wobbly legs continuously in danger of toppling into the netherworld below; the earth was the center of the universe; the sun, moon and stars held the keys to our health, wealth and wisdom; there was a god for literally every aspect of our existence; the one and only ‘true God’ was a grizzled old man sitting in the clouds ever ready to shower you with glorious gifts of good fortune (if you were good) and equally ready to bring torments of all sorts upon you (if you were bad)—just to name a few.

Now, lets examine the consequences of such fallacious premises and their resultant philosophies. Flat earth–people, for fifteen thousand or so years, were fearful of sailing out to sea too far because they would fall right off the edge of the earth into the netherworld. Earth supported on five crocked, wobbly legs–during the ‘Inquisition’, sex on any elevated structure was strictly prohibited and punishable by burning at the stake ,because the vibrations from such activity might cause the earth to topple into the netherworld. Earth as center of the universe–again, when Galileo published his scientific discovery that the sun was the center of our universe (solar system) and that the earth and other planets rotated around the sun, he was brought before the inquisition, and he barely escaped burning at the stake by virtue of a ‘forced recantation’ of his discovery—in spite of that, he was held under house arrest for the last nine years of his life. The sun, moon and stars (astrology) held the keys–astrologers proved to be nothing better than skalawag magicians who tricked people into believing all sorts of untruths. Parenthetically, those structures do, in fact, exert extreme influences on our earth but not in the way astrologers portrayed. Gods (gods)–in the early cultures worldwide, there was a recognized entity (god) in charge of literally every aspect of life (god of love, fertility etc.). Eventually, the Israelites came to recognize ‘one true God’. However, as I will show post haste, their ‘one true god’ is a myth also just as all the other ‘pagan gods’.

The Israelite God was patterned exactly after them. Even though he was all powerful and created the universe, basically all of his other traits were strictly human-like. He could love you or hate you; he could coddle you or kill you; he seemed to always be vengeful. He demanded strict adherence to his ‘laws’ (mind you, those laws were fabricated by Moses)—religion (Abrahamic religion) was created. That (those–Judaism, Christianity, Islam) religion reasoned that such a vengeful god would demand sacrifice–and sacrifice he got.

Now, lets address the fallacy of all that ‘philosophy’. Obviously, people were thinking. They could see plainly that both bad and good things happened in their lives. So, they were trying to understand why everything wasn’t ‘good’. Obviously, they concluded that there was an over-lord who didn’t appreciate some of their activities. That (those) overlord(s) was/were given the general name god. In the pagan world, each god had a specific domain. In the Israelite world, their ‘one’ God was in charge of all. More importantly he had to be appeased—a formal religion of attempted appeasement was born.

Fast-forward a few thousand years and Jesus appears—another sacrificial religion was born (Christianity). Six to seven hundred years later Mohammed appears—another Abrahamic religion appears (Islam). While not strictly ‘sacrificial’, Islam seems to derive it ‘appeasement’ from a strict prayer routine and strict adherence to Islamic Law. In any event each such religion is based on ‘false premises’ and therefore is doomed to be false in nature. While the Abrahamic religions busy themselves with appeasement, the other two great religions, Hinduism and Buddhism seem more contemplative—they have always attempted to understand the ‘nature’ of their god. In so doing, they each have established general rules of good living—those rules (guidelines) are their understanding of what their god might expect of them.

So, what is the truth? Simply stated, all religion(s) of which I am aware are based on ‘false premises’. The reason being that not a single person in the history of mankind has ever defined the Essence of God. Absent an essential definition, nothing has meaning. So all of the gods and the religions derived therefrom are pure myths. At this very moment you likely are astonished, and possibly dismayed, that I would/could make such a statement. I am allowed such privilege because of one deliberate consideration—I, Hilary Leo Hunt, have defined, in irrefutable terms, the ESSENCE OF GOD.

GOD IS A PERFECT RATIONAL BEING.

Let’s examine that definition:

When we say ‘God’, we mean Supreme—there is no other.

When we say ‘Is’, we mean always in the ever-present—not yesterday, nor tomorrow.

When we say ‘A’, we mean singular (triune in nature but singular in Godhead).

When we say ‘Perfect’, we mean complete—cannot possibly be added to nor deleted from—cannot possibly be pleased nor displeased.

When we say Rational, we mean an intellect which perceives and a will which achieves.

When we say Being, we mean it is a living entity.

The implications of this ‘perfect’ definition of God’s essence are unbelievably astonishing. In the first place, it shows that all religion is mythical and fallacious. All prayer is nonsensical. God is perfect, and his will cannot possibly be changed (it truly is blasphemous for us to ‘beg’ God to change his will). Our only ‘justifiable’ prayer is a hearty Thank you Lord for my existence, my sustenance and my salvation.

So, back to philosophy—now that we have a concrete definition of God’s essence, we can develop a meaningful philosophe of our existence based on ‘truth’. That philosophy has ramifications unheard of. However, I have begun its development in my two books, Wilderness Cry, and Peace in Spirituality. I strongly urge you to read them both.

As a matter of information, Wilderness Cry has received a 4 of 4 review rating. Furthermore, it will be featured as On-line Book Club’s ‘Book Of The Month’ this coming December. Peace in Spirituality will be featured by On-Line Book Club’s ‘Book of the Day” on my birthday, Oct. 23, 2021.

FAITH vs. RELIGION-PART 2–HILARY L HUNT MD

Due to a glitch in navigating WordPress yesterday, I had to cut short my comments—my apologies. Today, I will continue with my conversation about faith and how it relates to Religion.

To begin with, just what is ‘faith’? Strictly stated, faith is the acceptance of something as being true without concrete evidence of that truth. In addition, there are two basic kinds of faith, ‘implicit’ and ‘explicit’.

A common example of ‘explicit faith’ would be a warranty on a new automobile—from past experience and hearsay, we know that manufacturers typically stand good for their stated warranty. So, we are legitimate in having explicit faith that they will again.

A common example of ‘implicit’ faith is demonstrated in our willingness to believe that when we get on an airplane, it will take us to our destination safely. We know from historical experience that commercial airline crashes in the US are rare. However, we are willing to ‘take that’ chance under the umbrella of ‘implied faith’ that all will be well.

Understandably, you may say ,’what’s that got to do with God and religion?’—and I would say ‘everything’, and here’s why. Those, among both the ancients and relative neophytes, who have concocted religions, have done so based on their version of ‘explicit faith’. In other words, God has ‘revealed’ to each of then a set of absolutes. So what then? Gradually those ‘absolutes’ demand interpretation and in that process of ‘implied faith’, a gazillion different religions have been formed (created). In truth, every human who ever existed has had a different faith and a different religion.

You may object, saying ‘I know twenty people who go to Saint ‘so and so’ Catholic church, and twenty more who go to ‘such and such’ Baptist Church, and so on and on and on. That may be absolutely true—-they go to a certain church, but no two of them have the same identical ‘faith or religion’

The reason for all that is very simple indeed—each of them knows (visualizes) a different God, because as I stated yesterday, no one before me has defined the ‘essence of God’. Therefore, not one of them knows the God about whom they think—each of those billions of gods are pure myths—they are like Santa—each similar but different, and all mythical.

It is impossible to know about any entity or concept without first defining its essence. Jesus didn’t know ‘particle physics’, but in his brilliance he recognized that the Spirit of God pervaded all existences—otherwise nothing could be. He set about to enlighten (Christ) the world about the universality and Perfect Love of God—that activity got him killed. He knew it would, but seeing himself as the ‘sacrificial lamb’, he willingly chose an ignominious death so that the world might be ‘enlightened’ (I am the light of the world) to the truth of God’s essence—Perfect Rationality.

It seems very doubtful if anyone either understood his message, or if they did understand, were willing to accept it. Remember, The Jews killed him for treason—teaching anything contrary to the Jewish religion was treason. Guess what—the formation of so-called Christianity followed in the Jews footsteps. They set themselves up in hierarchal arrangement. I guess one might call it ‘trickle-down power. Regardless how one may perceive it, the result was/is the same—power, control, money.

So what are the implications of defining God’s essence as Perfect Rationality. Very simply, something perfect cannot be changed. Time is a measure of change. Since God is perfect he exists in eternity, a state of no change nor time. God cannot be hurt. God cannot be pleased. God cannot possibly ‘change his mind’ about anything. So all of this praying, sacrificial ritual, begging God to change his mind, etc.. could, in fact be considered blasphemous. However, God’s Perfect Love precludes any possibility of ‘retribution’ on his part.

In fact, out only justifiable prayer, while not expected by God, but to keep us humble and appreciative of his love, is a great big ‘Thank you God for your loving acceptance of me , a selfish sinner’.

So where does religion fit in? My belief; it is the most major deterrent to tranquility and peace that the world has ever known. It is also the most ‘monstrous’ money machine the world has ever known.

I mentioned my two books about these subjects yesterday. I will attempt to insert info about them.

FAITH AND RELIGION–HILARY L HUNT MD

Faith may be defined as accepting an idea as being factual without proof. Religion, on the other hand may be defined as a cultist practice aimed at influencing or appeasing a vengeful God. So, do you have faith? —-do you have religion, or better said, do you practice some organized religious exercise? I suspect an honest answer would be ‘yes’ on both counts for the majority of people. Why do you suppose that is? I would suggest to you that we have been (to use a common term) ‘brainwashed’ by our parents, teachers, and preachers to that effect. So, the obvious question to be asked is, ‘what do you believe and why do you believe it? What belief prompts your religious practice?’

The majority of people in the USA profess some sort of “Christian” faith. Then the obvious question is, ‘just what does that mean? What does it mean to be Christian’? And how is it possible that of the 200,000,000 or so ‘Christians’ in this county alone, no two have an identical faith. Most immediate answers would be something like this—well. I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.

And I would say, ‘wait just one minute; who or what is Christ?’ Your answer likely would be fluttering, stuttering, and possibly unintelligible. Could you explain to a common simpleton what it means to be ‘Christ? If you could, you’d be extremely more talented than Jesus the Nazarene. As best I can determine, Jesus spent his entire public life attempting desperately to explain who the ‘Christ’ was to his apostles—literally 99.9999% of all written accounts show that he failed miserably.

The word Christ means king, and if it is to be used in Jesus’ title, it must always be Christ Jesus which means King Jesus. Jesus denied being a king, but he did profess to them that he was ‘the light of the world’, meaning that he was shining the beautiful light of God’s love on the entire world so it could once and for all be liberated from the oppressive religion of the Jews. Peter seems to be the first to recognize Jesus for who he was when he said, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God’.

Jesus spent his entire public life in the shadows preaching the singularity of God—that is to say, he kept telling them that God is Perfect Love—the Jewish hierarchy certainly didn’t want to hear that—that was unbounded heresy and demanded death by the cruelest means—crucifixion—he was a traitor to the Jewish religion. Jesus was, in fact, a subversive traitor to the Jewish religion. His singular purpose was to supplant the guilt-ridden, money-making machine of the Jewish religion with a clear understanding that God is all love — he could not possibly reject anything he has created. Jesus wanted his brethren to know that God is in everything in existence and that everything in existence is in God.

Now, just what is religion? Plainly stated, religion is a cultist practice, overtly aimed at pleasing, appeasing, or influencing a vengeful God, but subtly aimed at power, money, and control. Just check a little history—who were the reapers of benefits from the Jewish ‘religion’? —The King and the High Priest. Has anything changed in 3000 years? —if so, its imperceptible.

So, what was Jesus telling them that was so bad? Very simply, that ‘God is in everything and everything is in God’—God loves us in spite of our wicked selves. Even most of his apostles didn’t seem to understand that (they had been brainwashed, just as you and I). Jesus was telling them what the Christ is. Christ is the ‘Light of the World’—Jesus was the ‘explainer’ of our heavenly, all loving, Creator. Jesus was a liberator who steadfastly looked the ‘scoundrels’ in the eye—he called them hypocrites, as indeed, they were. He knew his fate, but he courageously forged on. His apostles didn’t understand—maybe John a little. In his letter, John wrote, ‘brothers, what we are now, we know we are children of God. What we will become is yet to be determined. But. we know that when we get to heaven, we will be like him, because we will see him as he truly is’ (paraphrased). —how beautiful.

It took me sixty-five years of observing religion while exploring the meaning of faith to realize what was ‘missing’—-the essence of God had never explicitly been define—thousands had tried—all failed. By pure happenstance, I stumbled onto a monumental scientific course in Quantum Mechanics (Particle Physics) —it was like a miracle—Christ, the ‘Light of the World’ was plainly visible to me. Finally, God’s essence could be defined in ‘no uncertain terms’. Furthermore, that ‘essential definition’ not only defined our Creator conclusively, but more importantly, it negated completely the practice of cultist religion. That definition ‘opened doors’ never before opened except by Jesus the Christ. Seemingly, he was totally ignored—we’ll never know for sure, so distorted and ‘corrupted’ is the written word we have.

So once again for the uninitiated—God Is A Perfect Rational Being. Absolutely nothing can be added nor subtracted from that essential definition. I am allowed and mandated to form that essential definition through understanding the simple basics of particle physics. Its study shows clearly that there is a perfect rationality which pervades everything in existence. That perfect rationality stems from the fact that everything in this universe is made of perfect particles of energy with different designations and functions. A few names are electrons, photons, bosons, quarks etc. Each of these particles has the following characteristics: each is perfect in both form and function, none is distinguishable from its counterparts, none can be changed, none can be created nor destroyed my mankind, and not one more or less is in existence than at the time of their release nearly fourteen billion years ago. Are not those characteristics to be identified with eternity? I think so and furthermore, they represent that Perfect Rationality which I identify as God. Collectively, they represent all truth in this universe — they are a Perfect Truth System — they are God. Therefore, their essence is perfect rationality and God’s essence must be expressed likewise — God is a Perfect Rational Being.

Now consider this —God is perfect, unchanging and unchangeable. Yet so-called Christians are continually asking, begging, pleading with God in an attempt to appease him in one way or another, begging him to change his perfection. That would constitute blasphemy if done by a rational human. I would suggest to you that, in that sense, we are not rational — we are unadulteratedly ignorant.

More importantly, I would suggest to you that peace can never be achieved until every human comes to that understanding and acceptance — we must all become like-minded. Therefore, once again, I am calling for the ‘Worldwide Communion of Spirituality which means the understanding and acceptance that the Holy Spirit (Will of God) is imprinted on every particle of energy in this universe — peace will prevail then and only then.

In reading and studying the sayings of Pope Francis, I have concluded that he has arrived at similar conclusions as I. That is not surprising since he is a highly educated Jesuit. I could be wrong, but I suspect that he is being advised by his highly educated compatriots who would certainly know about science and specifically Particle Physics (Quantum Mechanics) — likely better than I. More praise to him for having the courage to ‘buck the traditionalist crowd’, and unashamedly profess an entirely new approach and understanding concerning a host of issues — premarital cohabitation, divorce and remarriage, prayer and communion with protestants, and common prayer with Jews and Muslims to name a few I have observed. It seems obvious to me that he recognizes everyone’s God is the same being. It seems obvious to me also that Pope Francis knows that peace can never be achieved without that common recognition by all.

I have outlined my complete philosophy, based on my essential definition of God’s essence in three books, Wilderness Cry, Peace in Spirituality, and Provocative Catholic. I encourage you to ‘liberate’ yourselves in their reading.

Attached are press-releases and short videos of Wilderness Cry and Peace in Spirituality produced by Covenant books prior to my publishing Provocative Catholic. I trust you will find inspiration in their viewing. In addition, I have published Growing Up In Fancy Farm Kentucky, which is a semi-autobiographical, semi-historical account of the first twenty-two years of my life — you may find it informational and humorous.

All my books are available from Amazon-Kindle or from me (handg@comcast.net)
