THE MYTH OF ‘FREE WILL’– HILARY L HUNT MD

Have you ever wondered where the idea of ‘free will’ came from? I, like you were brainwashed into thinking there is such an ‘entity’, and for that reason didn’t question it until after years of study and research, I was able to do something never before done — define the essence of God — “God is a Perfect Rational being”. That startling definition of God’s essence ‘blew out of the water’ everything I had ever been taught about God and religion, including the erroneous concept of ‘free will’. In fact, I was forced to reconsider everything I had ever been taught about God, the Bible, religions in general, and specifically, Roman Catholicism. I discovered that Moses wrote the first five books of the Old Testament. So, we are forced to attribute the fairytale stories of creation, Adam and Eve, the Garden of Eden, and everything through the Book of Deuteronomy to his imagination and his ever-present overlording of the Israelites for purpose of control.

The most compelling of Moses’ control methods was his ability to convince the Israelites that he, and only he, could converse directly with God. God gave him the Ten Commandments which, of course, being human, they violated perpetually, and thereby generated a stockpile of God’s wrath — the framework and cornerstone of ‘sacrificial religion’ for appeasement of a vengeful God were laid. That religion would, in fact, eventually become the stimulus which incited the heroism of Jesus of Nazareth to attempt liberation of his brethren from that oppression by instructing them that God is ‘All Love’ and needs no appeasement. The moneygrubbing, power mongering Jewish hierarchy were not about to have their playhouse disrupted — they hung Jesus on a tree for that treason.

Three hundred years later, those who formulated the Holy Roman Catholic Church at the behest of Roman Emperor Constantine totally ignored Jesus’ teaching of an ‘all-loving’ God, but using the fame of his name created a Church patterned exactly after the sacrificial religion of the Jews and set themselves up in position of power and total control— the exact thing which Jesus despised and willingly died for.

So, with that backdrop, we see a Church that put God in Heaven, sitting on a throne with Jesus sitting at his side, overlording his kingdom from which he was totally separated. As time marched on and the Christian theology was gradually being developed, the great Dominican Friar, Thomas Aquinas formulated a philosophy which explained everything the Church needed for understanding. Aquinas recognized a rational person has an intellect and a will. His interpretation of their functions was designed to satisfy the Churches concept of how sin comes about. He reasoned that even though the intellect may think one thing the will was free to choose as it liked at its own discretion —that was his fatal mistake which has shackled the world with erroneous understanding ever since. I have explained this many times before but let’s do it again.

A very simple test will dispel forever the concept of ‘free will’ for you. Let’s use the example of a red-hot stove eye. We must assume two things — we have been burned before and know that it is very painful and to be avoided, and we must assume we are rational (not crazy — irrational). Now, it is our intellect which ‘knows these things’, not the will. So, if I tell you to lay your hand on that red-hot eye, you wouldn’t dare —that is your common-sense rational intellect which tells you ‘That would be a terrible choice and to be avoided’, not your will. The will must always do what the intellect decides is the better of two choices. In this case, quite obviously, the better choice is keeping your hand away.

Likewise, if you’re standing on the edge of a cliff, you have two choices, jump off or stay put. If you are rational, your intellect tells you to stay put and your will must obey. The will is simply the ‘executive’ arm of the intellect. Synonyms for ‘will’ are choose, love, accept. They represent the ‘driving force of the intellect. They are the Holy Spirit or Will of God in the Trinity — they are the perpetual willing, loving, choosing, accepting force between the Perfect Intellects of God the father and God the Son.

The truth of the matter is there is no such thing as’ free intellect’. Yes, we are free to think and analyze but whatever final choice we make must be what our intellect considers to be the better of the final two possible choices. That does not mean nor imply that another rational human might not make a different choice based on previous experiences — that is what makes each of us distinct individuals with no possibility of any two being alike. That is the foundation of Jesus’ teaching of love — Jesus readily saw that peace could never be achieved without love of each other. His teaching has been totally ignored and world strife is ever-present.

Thomas Aquinas was simply attempting to satisfy Catholic Church philosophy. He knew absolutely no science of any kind. That ignorance allowed him to proclaim male masturbation to be the most grievous sin that could be commit because all the babies were in the male semen and were being spilled to their deaths. Aquinas’ attitude is understandable because from Moses’ time till Thomas Aquinas, three thousand plus years, the Jewish and Western world existed in a strict ‘Patristic’ society. Women were little more than glorified slaves. So, there was no way that a woman could have been thought of more than just a simple ‘brood sow incubator’. The almighty male injected the babies into her, and she simply incubated them till birth — such was the ignorance that prevailed from Moses time until Vatican 2 Council.

I still hear the term ‘free will’ occasionally and it makes me cringe because I know that person lacks a proper understanding of rationality. We would be much better off if we replaced the term ‘will’ with ‘love’. We would better understand that we are free to love what our intellect tells us is good (better), and we are free to reject what our intellect tells us which is least desirable.

Most of you reading this already know from my previous discourses and from reading my books Wilderness cry and Provocative Catholic that I have addressed this concept before, but for the few who have not, I feel compelled to visit it again — the cornerstone of ignorance found in every religion with which I am familiar.

If each of us did not have a rational intellect with which to discern truth, we would be like identical robots, all with identical programming. However, since our individual intellects have been exposed to dramatically different stimuli, each has been formulated into dramatically different individuals which allows (causes) us to make decidedly different judgements about seemingly identical information. Just consider an election of any public official. The majority will always vote for the winner but for a multitude of different reasons — each person’s intellect dictates its choice of winner based on a variety of different considerations.

Jesus was brilliant. He could clearly see the blatant scamming of his brethren that was going on by the Jewish hierarchy and their sacrificial religion. He became so incensed that his ire finally drove him to make an onslaught onto the temple — while thrashing the moneychangers with a whip and overturning their tables, he called them a brood of vipers and a den of thieves and demanded them to leave his Father’s house. Jesus was so determined to liberate his countrymen from the guilt driven sacrificial religion of the Jews and supplant it with a no-religion understanding of God’s Perfect Love that his intellectual common sense became overwhelmed by momentary irrational anger which drove him to that final fatal act — it seems apparent that he knew it was going to happen anyway.

My firm belief and understanding are that at his last supper, knowing full-well that he had failed to completely indoctrinate his illiterate apostles to his way of thinking, he made one final attempt at gaining their understanding. He explained to them once again that he, they, and all of God’s creation were of one substance — God is in all, and all is in God— God is All Love and cannot possibly reject himself.

Jesus’ final instruction and advice went totally unheeded by those who formulated the Holy Roman Catholic Church some three hundred years later. As a direct slap in the face, they ignored Jesus’ teaching of an All-loving God and formed another sacrificial church of appeasement, the likes of which Jesus despised. They used their collective intellects to ‘spit in Jesus’ face’ all for their own personal power, control, and money (empire building).

—eternal strife prevails to this day and always will until The Worldwide Communion of Spirituality, which I called for several years ago, is heeded. That means that each of us must understand and accept that we, and every gravid object in this Perfect Universe, are made of identical Perfect Particles of Energy which collectively represent God. Each of us shares a commonality with the Perfect Will of God, The Holy Spirit, which is imbedded in each particle and keeps it Perfect. That understanding stems from the knowledge that there is a Perfect Truth System in this universe outside of which there is no truth, and that truth is exhibited by those Perfect Particles of Energy. That knowledge and understanding mandated me to define God as A Perfect Rational Being.

AS an addendum, a few years back, I came to the sudden realization that I had many, many questions but absolutely no one alive to answer them. That realization mandated me to write a brief history of my life in Fancy Farm, Kentucky. I believe you will find it both informative and humorous.

MYTHOLOGY AND IMAGINATION IN RELIGION — HILARY L HUNT MD

During the last seventy years, as I have studied history, philosophy, psychology, medicine and religion, I have experienced a gradual evolution of understanding concerning religion — more importantly, Christianity. It seems rather obvious that Jesus of Nazareth was the most notable figure the world has ever encountered. During his lifetime, his apostle, Peter, recognized him as the Christ or King. After his death, his followers continued and propagated that understanding — hence Christianity.

Much has been written and rewritten about Jesus — what he did, what he said, and what he meant. It is the “what he meant” that has been interpreted so many different ways — hence, we have 45,000 different so-called Christian religions, each proclaiming righteousness. Any rational person would be correct in asking why and how that can be.

My study and understanding of Jesus make the answer to that question quite simple — the very first official proclamation about who Jesus was, what he said, and what he meant was biased and overtly incorrect for a very specific reason. The people who formulated the Holy Roman Catholic Church were so ‘hell bent’ on perpetuating a ‘Jewish religion with a sacrificial twist’ to the new Christian religion that they completely ignored Jesus’ basic teaching of love. Not only that but they camouflaged Jesus’ teaching and intent which was to liberate his people from the oppressive, costly, sacrificial religion of the Jews with an understanding that God is ‘all love’ and has no ‘needs’, especially appeasement.

They were very careful in their propagated writings to hide the exact cause of Jesus’ execution for treason — they say only that the crowd was incited to yell “Crucify him. Crucify him”. The hierarchy wanted Jesus dead because they recognized his intent to educate the public to God’s ‘Love’ rather than God’s ‘Vengeance’ as was proposed by the Jewish religion. The High Priest, of course, were making a fortune off the peasants who were forced to purchase ‘perfect offering specimens’ from him, and, in addition, pay him an equally extortionate price to make the offering in their behalf. It was a money-making racket and Jesus perceived it as such. Therefore, the bible tells us Jesus drove the money changers from the temple with a whip and overturned their tables.

Now, fast forward 300 years. During that time Christianity had spread throughout the Roman empire and there were 1800 bishops, each with his own ‘twist’ of understanding about Jesus. They were noted to be constantly squabbling amongst themselves and, consequently, were not producing as desired for the Empire. Constantine, the Emperor at the time decided to solve the problem once and for all — make Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire. So, he called a general council of Bishops at Nicaea. Of the 1,800 Bishops in existence at the time, only 300 or so attended. They pow wowed for three to four months before reaching a consensus — the Holy Roman Catholic Church was formed — and the Jewish sacrificial religion was perpetuated. They set themselves up in positions of power and control with the Pope as official head and with Cardinals, Archbishops and Bishops controlling selected parts of the world. Priests were the workhorses who attended to the day-to- day needs of each parish. That set-up ensured the upper brass lived in luxury, and all the while, Christian (Catholic) philosophy, theology, and liturgy were constantly evolving — a never-ending process.

Soon enough, overt abuses became apparent with bad popes and bishops using their power for evil purposes. Eventually, the power struggle between Rome and the Eastern Church became so strong as to prompt the Great Schism in 1062 or thereabouts. Then, the Medieval Church again became so corrupted as to prompt Martin Luther and others to bolt the Catholic Church, and the Protestant reformation began — it continues incessantly to this day with, with more and more sects and churches appearing annually — and why?

The answer to that question seems very apparent to me — power, control, and money generated basically by the mythological and imaginary wishful thinking of those in control. The Jewish religion fostered an idea that Adam’s long-suffering progeny had been promised a Messiah who would restore paradise just for the Just. The rest would be cast into torturous oblivion forever. This past Sunday, at Catholic mass service, the first reading in the Dioceses of Owensboro was from Daniel where he describes a time when Michael, a great prince shall arise and all the good shall live in eternal happiness including many who shall arise from their tombs whilst, simultaneously, all other shall be in everlasting horror and disgrace (paraphrased). Then, the second reading from Paul suggest that Priests offer daily sacrifices of appeasement, but Jesus offered himself as the ultimate sacrifice for or sins and now ‘sits at the right hand of God’ (paraphrased). Then, the gospel reading taken from Mark depicts Jesus describing the ‘last days’ and saying no one knows when they will happen but the Father, not even the Son. But all will happen before the current generation (forty years) passes. (paraphrased).

Now, lets dissect those readings and compare them with our current Catholic, Christian teachings and beliefs. The last sentence of the Nicene Creed which summarizes Catholic belief, says, –“I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and life of the world to come” — a direct holdover from the Jewish sacrificial, imaginary, mythical religion. Then, concerning Christianity’s propagation of Paul’s suggestion that Jesus sacrificed himself for our sins — nowhere in the bible does Jesus say he came to die for our sins. My understand is that philosophy was gradually developed or several hundred years, but there again, is based on someone’s imagination, and not on anything Jesus said. Now, concerning Marks description of Jesus describing the last days, it seems apparent that whoever wrote that did not comprehend what John had to say and what our Nicene creed has to say, “God from God, Light from Light, begotten not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made”. Now, if that is true, it would be impossible for Jesus not to know everything just as the Father does. But all that demonstrates the miniscule, imaginary, mythological thinking at the time and has absolutely nothing to do with reality. Consider this, there are no seats or places in heaven as the ancients are continually imagining. Heaven and eternity are a ‘state of being’ where no change is possible. It has no places, no seats, no amphitheaters. It is a state of spiritual being of oneness in God not oneness with God — God is in us, and we are in God.

It is this total lack of understanding which has created the religious morass we see today. Will it ever cease or change? I believe will in time but not for the better. More and more, people are becoming disenchanted with religion. Each person has his own reasons but if asked to explain them, he might find that difficult — he just has a gut feeling of religion’s uselessness.

All that is sad because the world could understand that if there is a God, it loves us each equally because each of us, as is everything in existence, is enveloped in that God — God is in all, and all is in God. With that understanding, we would be justified in gathering as one singing incantations of love, praise and thanksgiving to our God for our existence, our sustenance, and our eternity in him forever.

Everything in existence is composed of identically the same perfect particles of energy which are maintained in their perfection by the Spirit, Will of God. With that understanding, I again call on the world to understand and recognize The Worldwide Communion of Spirituality which means that we and everything inexistence are bonded by the same spiritual commonality in God.

That philosophy is developed and described in detail in my little book Wilderness Cry – A Scientific and Philosophical Approach to Understanding God and the Universe. There I do something never before done — I define the essence of God. That definition has unbelievable implications which are explored and analyzed in detail in its two sequels, Peace in Spirituality and Provocative Catholic. In addition, I have written a semibiographical, semi historical little book, Growing up in infancy Farm Kentucky. I believe you will find it informative, entertaining and humorous. All are available from Amazon-Kindle both hardcopy and digital. and from me, autographed – handg@comcast.net. If you purchase online and would like it autographed, I would be happy to do so free.

HELP — HILARY L HUNT MD

We all know what help is — it is an assist of one kind or another. Of course, it comes in ‘all shades of gray’ from overt to occult, from miniscule to maximal, from intended to accidental or incidental, from desired to rejected, etc.

When we interject God into the equation of ‘help’ as the ancient Greeks did, we create a new dimension beyond our control or insight. They are given credit for coining the phrase, ‘God helps them who help themselves’. The obvious implication of such a saying is that one must help himself first before God will ‘assist’.

When I was a child, my mother often repeated the adage that ‘heaven helps them who help themselves’ — a rather obvious reference to the Greek saying. That entire idea centered on the fact that, if one wanted something done, he must apply himself to the task before any assistance from God could be expected. That was a stern admonition to me and my siblings that we were responsible for our success or failure — work hard and God will assist and therefore, success is likely — be lazy and non-applying, God will ignore you, and failure will likely be guaranteed.

So, I learned at a very tender age of five or six that God would not put our seeds in the ground, cultivate the soil to assist their growth, or remove the weeds from our crops — if we did those things dutifully, then God would assist with warm sunshine and rainfall and a successful crop might be expected. Notice, I said ‘might’ be expected — nothing was guaranteed, but experience had shown success to be the norm. The bottom line was ‘hard work, and dedicated persistence’ was the best way of assuring God’s assistance —a lesson I never forgot.

I didn’t know how God’s assistance worked except I could see that most of the time, God provided the essentials of nature which, combined with my hard work, led to success. There were times however, when God did not provide the essentials for healthy plant growth — usually manifested by either too much or too little rainfall. Those were the times when we, as a devout Catholic community, came together in prayer begging God to assist us with proper amounts of heavenly water.

Way too often, to our chagrin, nothing changed, and our crops continued unabated in their torment — I was dismayed. Seeing my mother and father struggle so hard to provide a living for their six boys, and then seeing God not answer our pleading for help was extremely stressful for me. I was twelve years old and good friends with our parish priest. His answer to my question of ‘why wouldn’t God help’ sent my head spinning. He said,” It’s God’s will”.

That statement tore into shreds my mother’s adage of ‘heaven helps those who help themselves’. The obvious question for my maturing, inquisitive mind was, why? Why were we doing all that praying if God would not listen? I had no clue, but one thing was for certain, I would find out.

The first difficulty I encountered was attempting to understand who God really was. I learned in my history lessons that the ancient Greeks and Romans recognized a God for nearly every niche and cranny of human consideration. They relied on those Gods to bring success to whatever endeavor they chose.

Then, I learned that the Israelites discovered there is only ‘one true God’, and all the others are pagan myths. The latter info came by way of Bible studies and Catholic Catechism classes. All of that seemed well and good but still did not solve my dilemma about why God seldom answered our prayers when we most needed him.

As I grew and studied more, I made a very startling discovery — everyone talked about God as though he was their ‘next door neighbor’ but no one could tell me exactly who God is. In fact, I discovered that absolutely no one had ever been able to decipher the God about whom he spoke. Additionally, no one could prove that a God actually existed.

Out of seemingly nowhere, along came Jesus of Nazareth injecting a dramatic new piece into the puzzle of God. I discovered through research of biblical writings that for centuries the Israelites had been expecting a messiah who would restore Paradise just for them. When Jesus began his public ministry, the Jews were being severely oppressed by both their own government with its money-making machine of sacrificial religion, and the Roman Empire under whose ultimate control they existed and for whom they toiled — with that understanding the plot thickened for me.

I am as certain as I am sitting in my chair right this moment that Jesus has been totally misrepresented. I believe without doubt that Jesus’ representation as God’s only Son who was sent by God to die as the ‘perfect sacrifice’ for forgiveness of our sins is a fabrication of untruth intended to perpetuate the total control over human lives as was the custom of the Jewish hierarchy.

Whereas the Jewish religion offered Perfect Bloody Sacrifices of animals for appeasement of their angry God, the new ‘Jesus-religion’, Christianity, would offer a ‘Perfect Unbloody’ sacrifice to that same God in the form of a ‘recreated’ Jesus. Of course, true to form, that recreation and offering could only be done by the ‘priest’. Consequently, the Holy Roman Catholic Church was formed at the urging of Roman Emperor Constantine in 325AD. Things went well until the death of Constantine’s son who succeeded him.

Later Emperors were not as friendly to Christianity as Constantine. There was a rather constant haggling over unsolved religious concepts as various theologians and bishops struggled to define exactly what ‘Christianity represented’ and how it was to be practiced and considered. Many of those were driven and engendered by ascetics such as Augustine and Jerome whose philosophy was so restrictive as to propose that humans should deny their sexual identity — sex became the ‘whipping boy’ of Christian society and persisted as such until recent years. Of course, as might be expected, the proponents of sexual dampening became its greatest abusers.

Eventually, because of differences in concepts about the Holy Ghost as well as power struggles between the Roman Church and the Eastern Church, The Great Greek Schism occurred in 1065 or thereabouts — the cat was out of the bag. I am not as familiar with the continuing history of the Eastern Church as with the Roman, but it is quite obvious that differences of one kind or another existed there also because of the number of Eastern Orthodox Churches that sprang into existence.

Meanwhile, in the Roman Church, there were periods of relative tranquility. However, because the papacy was not only a religious headquarters, but was also an extremely important and powerful political position, prominent powerful families dominated the papal seat, frequently resulting in the many and frequent atrocious abuses. As time progressed, many Christians had seen enough, and the inevitable breakaway of the Protestant Reformation began.

That breakaway set the stage for what we see today — over 44,000 so-called Christian sects, branches and denominations, each claiming superiority of spirituality. Not only those divisions in Christianity, but, just as importantly, the constant tension between the western Christian world, the mid-east Muslim world, and the far-east Buddhist and Hindu worlds generated continual wars and threats thereof.

All that division and hostility has been, and continues to be, generated by one simple cause — not one of them could then, nor can now, define the essence of its God which led directly to the absolute misunderstanding, presentation, and projection of Jesus of Nazareth. Everything from the first word Moses wrote to this very moment has been and continues to be pure mythology —they always have been, and still are, worshiping a ‘mythical god’.

So, When I came to that stark realization, I was ‘forced internally’ to solve and resolve the problem — if there is a God, its essence must be defined — we must know who God is. My encounter with Quantum Mechanics enabled me to understand who that God must be. I understood from that encounter that there is a perfect rationality in this universe which generates and maintains a perfect truth system outside of which there is no truth. Immediately, I knew who God is. God is a Perfect Rational Being. The implications of that definition are staggering — many, many of them are examined and explored in my two sequel books to Wilderness Cry, Peace In Spirituality and Provocative Catholic.

Additionally, that definition of God immediately explained graphically the Trinity as here described. A perfect Intellect reflecting upon itself sees a mirror image of itself, which is the universe and everything in it, The Son. Father and Son viewing each other perpetually and eternally have no choice except to accept, love, choose, will each other—the Holy Spirit or Will of God.

That realization instantly created a major question — what about Jesus? As I backtracked and studied the New Testament more vigorously, it became suddenly obvious that nowhere does it say why the Jews wanted Jesus dead — the bible we have is very careful to hide that fact. Also. I discovered that nowhere does Jesus say he came to die for our sins — my understanding is it took several centuries for the Church to completely develop that philosophy. What I did observe was Jesus saying he would give us two commandments: Love your God with your all and love (accept) your neighbor as yourself. (paraphrased). Then I chanced upon The Gospel of Thomas which was rejected by the Church Fathers as canonical for obvious reasons — it painted an entirely different picture and understanding of Jesus. In it Jesus kept explaining over and over, using different examples, that he, they, and everything in this universe are one in God —we are in God and God is in us. That’s what he told them one last time at his ‘last supper’ — the bread and wine they were eating and drinking were one in him, and them, and God. He advised them to always remember and reflect upon that truth each time they supped.

With that understanding, it rapidly became obvious that Jesus’ purpose was to eliminate the oppressive, illegitimate religion of the Jews and replace (supplant) it with an understanding that God is all love — he needs no appeasement— he needs nothing — he loves (accepts) all without strings. Therefore, our only justifiable prayer is thanksgiving to God for our existence in him.

Jesus plan for supplanting the Jewish religion was to remain in the outlying areas away from the authorities while he indoctrinated his apostle and acolytes so they might continue to spread his doctrine long after his death — Jesus knew he would eventually be crucified as a traitor.

Quite obviously, Jesus’ efforts were totally fruitless. Villains and scallywags, using his name but distorting his teachings to suit themselves, formulated a Church patterned exactly after the oppressive sacrificial religion of the Jews which Jesus despised — a house built on a false foundation will inevitably crumble. And crumble it did— the grains of meal continue to fall from the loaf which was rotten from the beginning.

So, where does “heaven helps them who help themselves” come into the picture? Knowing who God is makes that answer simple. God has created for us a perfect universe in which to function. All we need to do is apply it by helping ourselves. If we grow food, we utilize the conditions available to us for growing crops suitable to our climate. If we work at a ‘public’ job of any kind, we are helping ourselves by earning money with which to buy food and other necessities and luxuries of life while simultaneously producing equipment, supplies and technology used by others in their endeavors. It should be obvious that all who are capable must apply themselves to a task or possibly multiple tasks so that all may benefit — God has given us a ‘perfect system in which to operate’ and make our efforts productive. That alone is the sum of God’s interest.

Those who beg God to do this or that and those who expect God to perform miracles just for them have been terribly misguided, but they are not to blame — we all have been brainwashed into believing such nonsense — such are the fruits of irrational religion. Religion benefits only those who perpetrate and perpetuate it. Religion is the biggest money-making, empire building, scheme the world has ever known and it is, equally, the most destructive force the world has ever known.

So, if there were a utopia in this life, which there is not, it would be a world where every capable individual diligently applied himself to a task so that collectively, we all might share in the necessities and luxuries of life. That would be Communism. But there is no utopia. Consequently, brave men with great minds and determination have designed the best system of government yet discovered — Democratic Capitalism. While not perfect, it has proven to be the best yet. It only works because it attempts to control to some degree the God ordained, built-in quality of greed which every living entity possesses and exhibits.

As I have noted many, many times before, I have published three books on this subject. I strongly urge you to read Wilderness Cry. Likely then, you will want to read Peace in Spirituality and Provocative Catholic. For a little historical and autobiographical humor, you might like Growing Up In Fancy Farm Kentucky.

PAPAL TRAVESTY — HILARY L HUNT MD

In my recent writings, I have repeatedly pointed out major, major directives coming from Pope Francis regarding sin and salvation which are diametrically opposed to the teachings of the Catholic Church in prior times of my life. For the most part those changes had to do with prior use of sex by the Church as a ‘weapon’ for controlling us. At times, such as during the Inquisitions, people were tortured severely to near death and then burned to death on a pile of wood while being bound to a stake just for being accused of having pleasure during sex. Like treatment came for being accused of having sex on any elevated structure for fear of causing the earth to tumble into the netherworld below. Simultaneously, people were given the same treatment for being accused of being witches.

In later times, when those treatments became illegal, birth control of any kind except the so-called rhythm method was condemned as a mortal sin which would send one straight to hell if you died before confessing it. Of all possible birth control methods used, deliberately aborting a fetus or full-term infant by any artificial means was considered to be the most heinous of those sins.

Additionally, I have repeatedly noted that the words ‘birth control’ have been totally eliminated from the Sunday homilies for the last fifty years of my memory. In addition, I doubt the awareness of many that Saint Thomas Aquinas declared male masturbation to be the worst of all possible sex sins because ‘all the babies were in the male semen and the babies were being spilled to their deaths’. Two concepts were in play there. In the first instance is total ignorance of the scientific facts — there are no babies in male semen. In the second instance, patristic society was in staunch control of worldwide thinking — only the all-important males could generate babies — women were just the inferior slaves who were used as incubators.

In addition to male masturbation, premarital sex of any kind was scorned as a certain path to hell — enter Pope Francis. One of his first proclamations was that there is no such place as hell. It was just fabricated by the Church to control people. Then he comes along and declares that young people should live together two to three years to determine their compatibility before entering into marriage. When an uproar from the conservatives in the Church could be heard worldwide, Pope Francis calmly stated, ‘None of the rules have changed. We just got to stop talking about them’. (paraphrased).

More recently Pope Francis stated ‘he dreamed of the day when we had a ‘world without borders’ —of course, the Pope would be the supreme ruler of all as was the case during Medieval Europe.

Now to the greatest travesty of all — it began over three years ago. At that time the regular attendance of so-called Catholics at weekly services had declined 40+% during the last 50-60 years— all ages, but particularly the younger set had found the Church’s stance on sex and birth control to be unreasonable. That decline in attendance created a major financial crisis. In addition, the number of vocations to the priesthood had declined precipitously necessitating the importing of clerics from Central and South America as well as Africa to administer the essential services.

If you recall, nearly four years ago, Joe Biden was elected president of the United States and Nancy Pelosi was Speaker of the House of Representatives. Both presented themselves to the public as avowed devout Roman Catholics. Their principal campaign promise was the reversion to some form of Roe v. Wade which had been repealed by the Supreme Court during the Trump administration. So here we have a perfect set-up — an administration dependent upon abortion for reelection, and a Vatican whose coffers are suffering from diminished churchgoers and who saw mass immigration of Catholic migrants to the US where they could have paying jobs with which fill the Sunday collection baskets. So, what happens? Biden and Pelosi go directly to Rome together where Pope Francis personally gives both of them his blessing, and worse yet, commits what I consider a sacrilege of all sacrileges — he personally gives them Holy Eucharist which he is duty bound to proclaim is the body and blood of Jesus and strictly reserved for only those in a ‘state of grace’ with God. That seemed to be of little concern to Francis.

Also, in previous posts I have noted the obvious collusion between the Vatican and the Biden White House. The floodgates of illegal immigrants across our Southern border have been open ever since Biden was elected and are guaranteed to remain so if Biden’s surrogate is elected. Just two days ago, in an overt attempt to ease the conscience of fearful women in the U.S who want abortion with no moral shackles., the Pope commits the greatest travesty of them all. He tells the American public they have the choice of voting for one candidate who supports the deliberate murder of a nine-month baby or voting for one who supports the equally ‘grave sin’ of deporting a known criminal migrant. Do you believe killing a baby is equivalent to deporting a criminal? I do not accept that. It is an obvious psychological, conscience relieving, ploy aimed at insuring V.P, Harris’ election with resultant four more years of ‘open borders’.

It is quite obvious then that I am at complete odds with the Vatican and its philosophy. I see it as a deliberate interference in our elections with an ultimate aim of enriching the Vatican coffers.

People ask me why I still attend Catholic Mass. I tell them that when I take the communion host in my mouth, I am both demonstrating and proclaiming that every quantum of energy in my body and in that bread in my mouth are in perfect union with every quantum in existence, all of which, cumulatively, represent God.

I will be ninety-one years old in a few days and during those years I have witnessed the ‘sweeping under the carpet ‘of many of the Church’s unpopular rules under the pretense that they never happened. I respectfully fear there will be no carpet left this time —this is too overtly atrocious.

Now, I ask you again. can you honestly equilibrate the murder of a human being with the deporting of a known criminal? I say, if you can justify the rationalization of such a travesty, this country is doomed forever with absolutely no possibility of survival or recovery — we will be enslaved by forces just waiting to pounce and it will happen in a flash. The likelihood will be a scorched earth with nothing surviving except a few severely genetically altered blades of vegetation — remember, Nero fiddled while Rome burned.

Because of those observations, I have been forced to declare that all religion is an overt hoax because none has defined the essence of its God. I have — God is a Perfect Rational Being. Just a few days ago while traveling to the South Pacific and visiting sites where Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism are established the Pope declares one religion to be basically as good as another because, in all reality, we are all worshiping the same God, just in different ways. That is an overt ‘slap in the face’ for Christians who have been taught to believe the only way into heaven is through Jesus the Christ.

Having made such observations over the years (since I was twelve) has forced me to write Wilderness Cry which demonstrates clearly why all religion is a hoax, and Peace in Spirituality and Provocative Catholic which elaborate on many of the ramifications of God’s perfection. You would do yourself a great service by their reading. In addition, you may find my little book Growing Up In Fancy Farm Kentucky to be entertaining. All are available Amazon-Kindle both hardcopy and digital and autographed from me (handg@comcast.net).

EXPLANATION — HILARY L HUNT M.D.

Historically, homo sapiens have always sensed a need to explain various environs and events in their lives. That, of course, is logical since they are rational beings. In ancient times and up until about five hundred years ago their only universe was the earth, which was flat, the sun which rose and set regularly, the moon which changed shapes and positions routinely, an occasional comet, shooting stars, and the Milky Way about which they had no comprehension.

Attempting to explain our beginning and the beginning of the universe, Moses, who is credited with writing the first five books of the Old Testament, concocted a ‘creation story’ which from a scientific standpoint is pure mythology, but which has been accepted by millions and millions as ‘Gospel Truth’. For the uninitiated, his story seems like a very plausible explanation of events surrounding the beginning of time.

Moses explanation of creation involved only one true God whereas, all other peoples recognized gods and goddesses of every shape and description — each with a specific purview. For centuries before and after Moses, those gods and goddesses were given credit for regulating literally every aspect of human as well as vegetative existence.

Moses’ recognition of one God set the Israelites apart from the rest of humanity, and rather instantly created hostilities between them and their ‘pagan’ neighbors.

We know the rest of the story from the Old and New Testaments. The earth remained flat supported on five crocked, wobbly legs, and always in danger of toppling into the netherworld below. Hence the prohibition during the Inquisition of having sex on any elevated structure — the vibrations from such activity might cause the unstable legs to give was and sink the earth into the netherworld. The penalty for such a breech was burning at the stake. That prohibition was not lifted until three years after Vasco da Gama sailed to India and back proving the earth to be round.

A little over one hundred years later Galileo discovered the sun to be the center of our little universe instead of the earth, which belief had been mandated by the Inquisition, with burning at the stake as the penalty for non-believers. Galileo’s explanation was immediately rejected and he, himself, barely escaped execution by fire for publishing his discovery — he was forced to recant his findings and spent the last nine years of his life under house arrest— religion had become the most powerful force on earth — the earth’s policeman — little has changed.

Religion and ideologies such as communism, which is anti-religion, are continually threatening each other with wars while attempting to dominate the world scene. Each is perpetually attempting to explain the nature of existence with either a mythical god or with the denial of a god’s existence at all.

The basic cause for all this division is one simple fact — everyone’s god is different — no one knows who God is. They all talk about god or the lack thereof as though they know for sure but not one except Jesus of Nazareth has ever known to this day except for me. Francis of Assisi and Meister Ekert, a German Monk recognized the presence of God in everything, but both failed an attempt to define God’s essence. Egotistical of me you say? If you think so, I dare you to define the essence of God, or to find anyone else in history who has done so irrefutably as I have. Jesus recognized God’s Perfect Love but even he did not understand how and why it was so — he had no benefit of science for help.

We have little knowledge of the exact words Jesus used to describe God, but the bottom line is this; Jesus recognized God as perfect love. And what is ‘perfect love’? It is the acceptance of all his creation without exception. Jesus was brilliant — to be able to arrive at that conclusion with no scientific support is truly amazing. Jesus intuitively understood that nothing could be in existence without God ‘living’ within it. He knew nothing of particle physics which tells us that everything in this universe is made of identical perfect particles of energy which because of their unchanging and unchangeable perfect size, shape, identity, behavior, and function always have and always will exist in Eternity — they not only represent God, but they are also a mirror image of God — they are the second person of the Trinity. The Perfect Love relationship between God and his Living Reflection is the Holy Spirit or the Will of God — the existence-giving principle of everything. That, my friends, is a clear, concise definition of The Trinity. By God’s very nature, he can exist only in Trinity form.

Jesus perceived that concept and boldly said so in the disguised writing of those who either did not understand or did not want to accept the demise of the Jewish religion. Jesus knew what his fate would be but his zeal for the truth drove him onward. His hope and plan was to replace the lucrative Jewish Sacrificial religion with a’ ‘common understanding of praise and thanksgiving’ to God for our existence and support — the meaning of ‘eucharist’ is ‘thanksgiving’.

However, the long-suffering Jews, who expected a messiah to restore the fairytale Paradise created by Moses, were not about to turn loose of that idea and the lucrative sacrificial religion attached to it. So, in due time, 325 AD, they formed the Holy Roman Catholic Church which was patterned exactly after the Jewish sacrificial religion. However, the new religion utilized the recreated body and blood of Jesus as an ‘unbloody’ sacrifice rather than continue the Jewish custom of ‘bloody sacrifice’ of animals. That recreation of Jesus is performed by the priest during the ritual of the Catholic Mass. That religion was established as the official Religion of the Roman Empire and remained so throughout the lives of Emperor Constatine and his son who followed his reign.

With the loss of Empire support, abuses galore began to appear and they persist to this day. Because of disagreements and dislikes of Roman Catholicism authoritarianism and dominance, the Eastern Church split from the Roman Church in the eleventh century. Several centuries later the fragmentation of the Roman Church skyrocketed with the Protestant Reformation. That fragmentation has escalated into near logarithmic proportions until, at the last accounting, there are over 45,000 so-called Christian religions and sects in existence — that number continues to climb at a rapid pace.

So, back to my statement about God’s essence. Nothing in existence has meaning without an essential definition, God included. When I became aware that God’s essence had never been defined, I determined at a rather young age to do so myself. I am not only unashamed but rather, very happy that finally, after years of persistent study, analysis, and considerations of all sorts, I was able to do so.

So, here’s my answer to your claim of my egotism. Having an awareness that everything in this universe is composed of perfect particles of energy, having an awareness that there exists a ‘perfect truth system’ outside of which there is no truth in this universe, and being aware that all truth is contained in those perfect particles and their behavior compelled me to recognize that there is a Perfect Rationality in this universe. So, no one can prove there is a God. Neither can anyone prove there is not God. However, I believe the perfection exhibited in this universe lends more credence to the existence of God than not. Therefore, I am justified and mandated to proclaim an irrefutable definition of the essence of our God.

God is a Perfect Rational Being.

In all humility, I feel so blessed be able to proclaim and explain that God to you. It has been eight years since I first published my little book, WILDERNESS CRY – A Scientific And Philosophical Approach to Understanding God And The Universe. In that little treatise, I state clearly that I welcome all meaningful dialogue and/or rebuttal. To date, not one person has attempted rebuttal. However, there have been many requests for clarification and better understanding of the basics of Quantum Mechanics (particle physics) — I have graciously and eagerly obliged all. I am always eager to explain and discuss the many important concepts related to the understanding of God’s Perfect rationality, and its many, many ramifications and implications.

I know for certain that all religions which are based on concepts of the Mosaic God are illegitimate because all are worshiping a mythical god created by Moses. Not one religion or person except Jesus has come forth with an acceptable definition of God’s essence. Jesus’ definition of God as all Love was bitterly rejected by the Jewish hierarchy because it would have destroyed their power base — he had to be quieted before his teaching caught on among the public. Accordingly, he was sentenced to crucifixion which was the penalty for treason.

Jesus is my hero.

Since publishing WILDERNESS CRY, I have published two additional books, PEACE IN SPIRITUALITY, and PROVOCATIVE CATHOLIC. Those books explain the many automatic ramifications stemming from God’s Perfect Rationality. I believe, without any doubt, that they are a must read for your happiness. Their understanding will enable your spirit to relax and begin to bask in the warm glow of God’s never-ending Love. I strongly encourage you to engage them. All are available both e-book and paperback from Amazon-Kindle. Additionally, I have published a semi-historical, semi-autobiographical account of the first twenty-two years of my life, Growing Up In Fancy Farm Kentucky. I think you will find it rather educational, entertaining, and humorous. It is also available from Amazon-Kindle. Additionally, each of my books is available autographed directly from me – handg@comcast.net.

PLAGUE REVISITED–HILARY L HUNT MD

PLAGUE-This word is derived from the Greek word plaga which means strike and the Latin word plaga which means stroke or wound. In everyday usage it carries the implication of some disease or condition which annoys, aggravates or impedes us as individuals, family groups, communities, cities, or nations.

For instance, we may hear someone say that she has been ‘plagued’ by migraine headaches all her life. Or we may observe that a family seems to be plagued by chronic poverty. On a larger scale, a community may have been ‘plagued for years’ by a very poor water supply. In modern times it seems that certain cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco and others in the US are ‘plagued’ by homelessness and filth—Chicago is ‘plagued’ with gun violence.

In the fourteenth century a disease caused by a rat borne bacterium known simply as the ‘Plague” wiped out millions of people in Europe, Middle East and North Africa. The ‘great potato famine’ in the mid 1800’s killed nearly half the population of Ireland—they simply starved to death. The Plague of 541 killed 10,000/day in Constantinople—it was caused by the same rat-borne organism as the Back Death in Europe centuries later. The Old Testament speaks of ‘Plagues and Pestilence’.

Throughout history there have been several other major ‘Plagues’ in Europe and elsewhere. The general idea is that a plague is something that strikes without warning and severely wounds and/or aggravates.

Currently, the entire earth is recovering from a devastating pandemic ‘plague’ caused by the Covid-19 virus. It certainly seems to have struck an unsuspecting and ill-prepared humanity with virulence and vehemence—and it rages on. It has killed millions worldwide and will likely kill many more before it runs its course—likely, it will be back. Hopefully, we will be better prepared the next time.

There is one ‘plague’ which has beset the human race on an unrelenting, persistent basis since the beginning of recorded history. Anyone who has the meagerest familiarity with world history knows that continual strife among mankind has been perpetuated by one source— religion. There is no way I have of knowing the exact number of deaths caused by ‘religious wars’. However, because of their persistent occurrence, it is safe to say that the war-tally would at least equal the plague-tally. The United States alone has lost nearly three million soldiers in its wars—a span of a measly 250 years.

Many wars have been generated by the godless trying to defeat the godly. Some notable examples are Fascism, Communism and some forms of Socialism. In general, these ideologies are anti-religion—-a religion in reverse.

The Jewish people have been embroiled in some form of strife and conflict ever since their exodus from Egypt. During the last fourteen hundred to two thousand years, the three Abrahamic religions have been in constant turmoil among themselves. In addition, intrareligious hatred and rancor have perpetuated unrelenting upheaval.

During my 90 years, I have not known a single day of prefect peace, and today the hatred, fighting and killing continues at a torrid pace, and why? — religion. Everyone’s god has mandated a vendetta against their neighbor’s god. In Christianity alone, we have 45,000 different gods and guess what—not a single one of them is willing to ‘give an inch’ to the other. So, they are not ‘overtly’ fighting right now, but they have in the past—I’ll guarantee you that, given the opportunity, they would again. Basically, they are a like a pit full of venomous snakes banded together for the purposed of self-defense against an intruder—I won’t bite you if you won’t bite me. They have a larger ‘common enemy’—hostile Islam and Communism. Just let those two common enemies disappear and see what happens—all hell would break out among Christians just as it was when Constantine called the first council of Nicaea, and the ‘all powerful Catholic Church was formed.

Hopefully, in this ‘civilized world’ that would be an overstatement, but no guarantees. Human nature dictates that each person wants every other person to think the same way, and if they don’t, there’s an undercurrent of aggravation—even under the best of circumstances. If that undercurrent ‘boils over’, as it frequently does, then overt hostility, either verbal or physical, breaks out—such is our selfish nature.

So how do we overcome such adversity and eliminate this most major plague—the answer is simple, its application complicated—we must all have the same God.

That may sound like a ‘foolish’ suggestion—everyone knows who God is—or do they? If you cannot define the essence of your God, then you have no God—you have a myth. Guess what—everyone’s myth is different just like ever child’s Santa is different.

How then do we all have the same God? The exact same way we all have the same pencil, or brick or toothbrush—we can define their essences.

Take note of this—no one before me has ever defined the essence of God. I did it with six simple little words so full of astounding meaning—God is a Perfect Rational Being. I was able to conclude that essential definition by virtue of my encounter with Quantum Mechanics (particle physics) wherein I learned the most basic identical and perfect nature of all physical existences. That perfect rationality pervades everything in existence. More importantly, it refutes and eliminates the Biblical mythology associated with God. It defines clearly the Trinity nature of God. It shows the absolute necessity of Jesus’s heroic sacrifice by which we all are liberated by love from the shroud of guilt imposed by organized sacrificial religion. It shows, with absolute certainty, God’s perfect love which precludes any possibility of Hell, Purgatory, Limbo or Heaven as a place with seats closer to God. It shows without imagination that heaven is an eternal state of being in oneness with God— a state of perfection which supersedes any human happiness.

In my book, Wilderness Cry, I define the essence of God and outline its implications. In my sequels, Peace in Spirituality and Provocative Catholic, I show the absolute only way that peace may ever be achieved—we must all be likeminded. The only way that can happen is for everyone to have the same God—adherence to present-day religions makes that absolutely impossible.

As we all become likeminded, the terrible plague of war will be eliminated, and peace will prevail. Several years ago, I called for the Worldwide Communion of Spirituality which is the recognition and acceptance that we and everything in existence are of the same substance, the perfect particles of energy which constitute the Perfect rationality in this universe — God.

You will learn more about me and my upbringing by reading Growing Up in Fancy farm Kentucky.

I encourage you to read and study my books so you may have a clear understanding.

Press Release for Peace in Spirituality

MISUNDERSTANDING GOD — HILARY L HUNT MD

When a dam breaks, initially the water flows at a rapid rate, with high pressure and speed, through channels that existed before the dam was constructed. Eventually, the water exhausts all available preestablished channels, and runs outward in all directions forming new shallower channels until, finally it seems to flow as one giant shallow wave with no perceptible boundaries or channels out over one massive flat. There is a simple reason for the lack of new channels being established and that has to do with lack of a pressure-head which results in reduced speed or rate of flow with resultant less friction and erosive effect. That simple, observable, intelligible, analogy may be applied to the plight of Christianity.

There was a near three-hundred-year time frame after Jesus’ death that his teachings and their interpretations had spread like wildfire throughout the civilized world from the Near East, through all of North Africa and southern Europe all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. A hierarchy of sorts had been established whereby bishop had been consecrated through a power transfer from a previously established bishop extending back to James, John, Peter, and likely, the other apostles. It seems that most candidates for consecration qualified for that position by being the most influential man in the settlement. Regardless, after consecration, he was the sole authority in his domain concerning faith and morals.

As time progressed, eighteen hundred such bishops existed. As might be expected, there was no universal agreement among them about what was to be believed nor about how God and Jesus were to be considered. That lack of agreement created friction and, at times, outright squabbles among certain bishops causing a gross lack of production for the Roman empire under whose domain they existed — the peasants were fighting among themselves rather than working for the Empire.

That situation created the necessity for construction of a dam. Accordingly, the ‘chief engineer, Emperor Constantine, called the bishops (workers) into a conference (council) at Nicaea. Only three hundred or so bishops of the eighteen hundred in existence attended, but they were sufficient to devise and finish construction of the mightiest dam ever heard of, the Holy Roman Catholic Church.

That newly constructed dam was rock-solid and remained so while Constantine and his son who followed him in power were alive. But, when Rome fell, the dam lost it main support — leaks began to appear. They were small and seemingly insignificant initially but became major with the Greek Schism in the year 1054 which led to the loss of about half the dam’s water.

During the next five-hundred years, the dam deteriorated to the point of final rupture with the release of much of its remaining water in 1521 when Martin Luther bolted the Church. During the next five hundred years, the flow of so-called Christian doctrine in both the East and West, but mainly in the West, continued at a torrid pace until now its pressure head has been reduced to a trickle — a massive, creeping flat of forty-five-thousand Christian churches is what remains. In the meantime, the pressure head in Rome has been reduced to near non-flowable levels — and why?

A clear, succinct, answer to that ‘why’ seems to me to be very short and very simple — the dam was built by inept builders using inadequate materials. They constructed their dam on a foundation of fairy tales and hearsay while applying those materials with the mortar of a mythical god who did/does not exist.

You might ask how or why I am allowed to say that. Well, In the first instance that dam was constructed by bishops (builders) who reluctantly agreed to the final ‘blueprint’, and in addition, they represented only seventeen per-cent of the builders. More importantly, they had no idea about the nature of the water (God) they were attempting to dam. They could not define the essence of their god, Therefore, there were as many gods as there were workers —each god demanded his own individual domain, church.

The flow of water (churches) has slowed into a massive flat but continues to trickle forward in all directions albeit at a slower pace — between the years of 2016 and 2024, the number of so-called Christian religions increased from 35,000 to 45,000. Meanwhile, the headwaters in Rome continues to weaken and dribble. The big fish are splashing wildly in their landlocked potholes — the division created by changes in Catholic Church philosophy has emanated into major discord worldwide —some are considering schism — other screaming and pulling their hair while hollering, “heresy” — the biggest fish seems not to mind — neither do I.

The materials used for building the dam in the first instance were laden with mythology, astrology, imagination, ignorance, and magic. The builders, themselves had no realistic concept of the god they were damming up. They could not and did not define the essential nature of that god. Therefore, there were more gods than their dam could retain and restrain.

Had they known that their God is a Perfect Rational Being, their dam would still be intact. In fact, the longer it stood the stronger its building materials would become from the process of coalescence into one rock-solid structure — a Church of Thanksgiving to our all-perfect, all-loving God. Had they known that their dam was constructed of the identical perfect particles of energy as the God they were restraining, not only would their task have been simple, but its effects would also have endured forever.

Regrettably, what we have today is a massive flat of religion built on false narratives with absolutely no understanding of the nature of the god they are worshiping.

Had the early Christians known science, none of this dam breaking would have ever occurred. The word science comes from the Latin word scientia which means knowledge, and knowledge, of course is truth. Since God is all truth, it follows that God is all science, and all science is God — Perfect Rationality. Everything in this universe operates under a cause-effect principle. For every cause there is a perfect effect, and every effect has a perfect cause. To start the wheel rolling, there had to be an initiating cause, a prime mover. That Prime Mover, we call God. He made one move and only one move — he released his Perfect Energy in the form of Perfect Particles each with its own task. Immediately, they began doing what they were designed to do, and the cause-effect’ wheel was set into motion. That singular event which scientists refer to as the Big Bang is the only action God has ever taken regarding this universe. From that moment on, God has taken a hands-off attitude and has allowed his nature (Perfect Energy) do as it was designed and commissioned to do.

Had the designers of the first Holy Roman Catholic Church known and understood that science (truth), the dam would never have broken, and we would not have the massive flat of diverse ‘Christian’ churches, each proclaiming to be the only correct one, as we see today. More importantly, we would all be of one like-mind of understanding about the Perfect Rational Being we call God. We all would be reaching to that God, not in quest of favors, but rather in thanksgiving for our lives, our sustenance, and our eternal destination in the bosom of that Perfect rational Being — there would be peace.

Furthermore, the world would not be filled with ignorant people who not only believe, but also expect God to do the impossible, change his nature and perform a miracle, just for them. They would know that God could not possibly change his Perfect nature without self-destructing, and immediately destroying the entire universe. However, today, self-serving religion suggesting such is still just as active as in Jesus’ day — controlling the minds and pocketbooks of people for its own gain. Jesus was the greatest hero to ever live. He railed against that unjust religion and told the world about the real Perfect God Of Love.

He knew that teaching would get himself crucified but his zeal and determination to liberate us from the terrible persecuting religion of ‘appeasement of a vengeful god’ drove him onward. No greater hero ever lived, and I vouch to say, never will.

As many of you know, I have written extensively about this subject which I believe is so important for us to understand. The effects of ‘misunderstanding the nature of God‘ have overwhelmed the earth and created perpetual turmoil. I have written three books and over four hundred blog posts about this most important subject. If you have read my books Wilderness Cry, Peace In Spirituality, and Provocative Catholic, please read them again until you have full understanding — you will regain internal peace like never before.

Mind you, I am not advocating that you cease going to church. I believe gathering is good — gathering in ’one mind’ is perfect. As you go to your individual churches, and listen to your priests or preachers, their words will fall on a different set of ears — you will be gaining an understanding of ‘spirituality’. The Worldwide Communion Of Spirituality is what I called for four-five years ago. I hope and trust there are more and more acceptors and adherents.

If you have not read my philosophy books, I implore you to do so. In addition, you may find my Growing Up In Fancy Farm Kentucky entertaining. All are available Amazon-Kindle and autographed from me handg@comcast.net.

MAGISTERIUM — HILARY L HUNT MD

Magisterium

The term Magisterium refers to the absolute teaching authority of the Roman Catholic Church. Historical review shows those teachings, as well as their authoritative presentations and use, have been in a constant state of flux through the time of the second Vatican Council. Since that time, it appears to the casual observer such as I that the idea of Magisterium, while not having been abandoned, has been skillfully ignored so as to pretend ‘it never happened’. Just remember, the Church’s stance is that Magisterium is an ‘absolute teaching authority which stems directly from God’. So, since God is perfect and unchanging, that means the magisterial teachings of the Church must be perfect and unchanging. After all, it would not ‘be fair’ to incriminate one generation and send them straight to hell for violations of their teachings, and not do the same for following generations — or would it?

For instance: where was Magisterium when the earth was flat, and the earth was the center of our universe? History shows the Church taught emphatically that the earth is flat, and is the center of the universe, even to a point during the Inquisitions of torturing and burning to death all dissenters. Likewise, couples, even accused of enjoying sex, were given the same treatment. Similar punishment was administered to all accused of having sex on any elevated surface because the shaking they created might cause the earth to topple off its five crocked, wobbly legs and fall into the netherworld below. Male masturbation was the worst crime demanding execution by fire because all the babies were in the male ejaculate and were being spilled to their death. Witches were everywhere, sometimes even masquerading as infants and children — burning to death was the only ‘sure-fire’ method of exterminating them. The Protestants ‘got into that fun’ in the early days of our country by hanging witches.

So, what about the Magisterial rules of fasting and abstaining from meat— don’t hear much about them anymore. I can remember when knowingly eating meat on Friday was a mortal sin —a direct ticket to hell if one died before confessing it. Any use of sexual functions other than heterosexual union by married couples was an absolute mortal sin. Likewise, deliberately missing Mass on any Sunday or Holy day of Obligation carried the same penalty. Any birth control method other than the ‘rhythm method’ was a certain ticket to hell, while abortion was the most abhorrent of all methods. Marriages to a non-Catholic, while not forbidden, were strongly discouraged, and could not be done inside a Catholic Church building — they were done in the priest’s rectory out of sight of the congregation. Failure to confess one’s sins to a priest at least once a year or to receive Holy Communion during “Easter Time’ was basically automatic self-excommunication. Any servile work on Sundays or Holy Days was strictly forbidden — the only exception was ‘the ox being in a ditch’.

The above examples will serve to illustrate the obvious ‘about face’ of the Church hierarchy concerning Magisterium. Since they have declared themselves to be the ultimate voice of God, it must be obvious that God has ‘changed his mind’ about almost everything. Of course, they get away with such chicanery because all Catholics have been taught that God does change his mind a billion times a day. Remember, there are over a billion Catholics in the world, and all are asking God to change his mind and do ‘something special, ’just for them, almost every day.

I would suggest that the seeming about face of the church stems from two sources. Number one is that they can no longer justify ignoring obvious facts of science. Number two is the Church’s rules about sex, marriage, birth control, divorce, and anything to do with sex are falling on deaf ears among the younger generations. Consequently, the younger generation are finding religion irrelevant in their lives as their precipitous drop in attendance at Catholic services attests. That drop in attendance translates into a precipitous drop in income for the Church — that is the source of the Church’s real concern.

Pope Francis has repeatedly iterated dictums totally contrary to previous Church stances. As a general cover for his so-called liberal stance, he remarks that ‘None of the rules have changed. We just got to stop talking about them’. In other words, just pretend they have changed. In due time, the old folks like me who remember will be gone, and the younger folks will think the rules have always been lax and to their liking — maybe Church membership and attendance will pick up. In addition, the obvious collusive open border policy is also aimed at shoring up and reinforcing the Church’s numbers. It’s all about money. If the sex weapon no longer works to control them, just let them do as their commonsense dictates and just pretend that stance has always been Church policy. Power and control with resultant money extraction must be maintained by whatever means necessary — to hell with morality.

The bottom line is this; for almost two centuries God used restrictions on sex, his own self-instilled instinctual drive, to control us by threatening us with eternal torture in the unquenchable fire of hell. Now, suddenly, God did an about face and lifted the restrictions on normal sex and replaced them with a policy of ‘anything goes’ attitude toward sex — control by liberal presentation of sex to it members and potential members. Of course, God’s ‘change of mind’ comes through the presentation of Magisterium by those who presume to be his surrogates.

Don’t you have sympathy for those poor Christians who lived between 325 AD and 2013 AD ? — I do. The social and psychological impact of those restrictive orders about sex prompted G. Rattray Taylor, in his very complete and astute book, Sex in History, to observe that Medieval Europe resembled “a giant cesspool of psychosis”. The schizoid effect on personalities by the restriction of perfectly normal sexual activity and common sense was monumental. Neither did it stop with Medieval Europe — it persisted until very recently. Almost all ‘normal’ practicing Catholics born before the year 2000 are affected to some degree or another — the guilt and fear instilled by such restrictions cannot be avoided in normal individuals.

The conservative (old school) branch of Catholicism continually rails against Pope Francis for his liberal stance in Magisterium — he seems not to care.

Everyone knows that the God of the Israelites is the same God of Christians — he can change his mind anytime he wishes. In fact, God changes his mind millions of times daily performing miracles for those who beg him, or so they think—I am sympathetic to the pathetic, unassuming people who have been taught to believe so, and I am equally sympathetic to the poor unassuming individuals whom God refuses to honor with miracles — consider the millions who annually die of cancer and other incurable diseases because God refuses to work a miracle for them. Does anyone seriously believe that God favors one person over another? Yes, sadly they do — they have been brainwashed to think so.

In my book, Wilderness Cry, I have defined irrefutably God’s essence; God is a Perfect Rational Being. That definition ‘blows all religion out of the water’ — all are invalid. God is Perfect and cannot possibly change anything about himself or anything. The philosophical proof lies in the fact that ‘change’ involves an element of ‘time’ — there is no time in Eternity. God’s Perfect Intellect envisioned all and released all at the moment of the Big Bang, and his Perfect Will, the Holy Spirit, ensures that all remains Perfect.

I believe without doubt that Pope Francis is correct in his ‘magisterial’ approach regarding sex. I have no way of knowing his motive, but observing the massive influx of migrants, most of whom are Catholic, across our southern border, and being aware of the massive reduction of churchgoing Catholics in this country, leads me to suspicion that his motive is at least partially ‘commercial’. He wants to ‘shore up’ the numbers of Catholics and, knowing that Spanish-origin people are both mostly Catholic and passionate, they will likely fulfill his desire — the Vatican coffers must be enriched at all costs.

In my books, Peace in Spirituality and Provocative Catholic, I explore the many ramifications of my definition of God’s essence. The most striking is the deleterious effect of religion on world society —a most divisive entity which has perpetuated world strife. I show that ‘understanding and accepting’ Spirituality is the absolute only means for attaining and maintaining Peace. Accordingly, several years ago, I issued a call for The Worldwide Communion of Spirituality which means that each person must understand and accept that each of us has a commonality with every entity in existence. That commonality comes from the fact that everything in existence is made of exactly the same perfect particles of energy which I have defined as God’s reflection, and which were released nearly fourteen billion years ago. Therefore, everything in existence is God’s reflection — we are brothers and sisters with All— should we not humble ourselves to that recognition and accept ‘all’ in peace. That is the ultimate Magisterium. Will the world of religion accept it — I have my doubts — too much loss of Power, Control and Money.

I thoroughly understand that my voice is ‘one crying out for truth from the wildernesses of ignorance and deceit’, and likely, will not be heeded. However, I shall not be deterred. I will continue to preach God’s Perfect Love and the evils of religion until my dying breath. Furthermore, my knowledge of Church history coupled with my definition of God’s essence makes it mandatory to view the Church’s stance on Magisterium is, at best, terribly misguided, or at worst, a complete hoax.

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).
