I am amused both in theory and in fact by this obsession by I presume professing Christians in regards to the hated rival sect. Jews invent demons and Christians do too. Kabbalah mainly based on Greek thought and Christians are based on it as well. If it is the will of God that Christians prefer victimhood and blaming an evil devil figure for their ills then they do and would not be more than a victim. I rather go with Berdyaev-“Active eschatology,” he writes, “is the justification of the creative power in man.”[13] This is so because, “The outpouring of the Spirit, which changes the world, is the activity of the spirit in man himself.”[14] Berdyaev’s active eschatology, then, speaks to the regeneration of all things, or, to adopt explicitly religious terminology, their glorification. The idea of theosis, indeed, tinctures (to use Boehmian language) all of Berdyaev’s thought. This glorification approaching from the future, furthermore, resides in the Coming of Christ which moves toward the present just as history moves toward its arrival, the two converging almost in the way of a supercollider.[15]
But the coming of the eschaton announces itself through anxiety. And while Berdyaev is assured of the final victory of Christ, he not as confident in man’s willing participation in the transformations implicit in His arrival. Man, it appears, would prefer to hold onto the dead forms of the past, their shells and ghosts, than cooperate with Christ in the regeneration of all things. Certainly, something of Boehme’s notion that God’s love feels like terror to the sinful as it burns away the impurities of the soul haunts Berdyaev’s metaphysic here. “Man is entering a new cosmos,” he writes:
All the elements of our epoch were present in the past, but now they are generalized, universalized and revealed in their true aspect. In these days of the world’s agony we feel keenly that we are living in a fallen world, torn asunder by incurable contradictions….
The world is living in a period of agony which greatly resembles that of the end of antiquity. But the present situation is more hopeless, since at the close of antiquity Christianity entered the world as a new young force, while now Christianity, in its human age, is old and burdened with a long history in which Christians have often sinned and betrayed their ideal. And we shall see that the judgment upon history is also a judgment upon Christianity in history.[16]
I am listening. I start with the slant. Yes, it is not a Christian belief system. Nor need it be one. However to engage on the level necessary requires a close examination of the record. The record for Christian fraud starting with Constantine is quite strong. http://mountainman.com.au/essenes/Theses_Index.html. Next I would say off hand the expert amuses me. I doubt he is aware that the Greeks and the Old Testament are as close to one another as the myth of Moses. https://academic.oup.com/jts/article-abstract/70/2/742/5481195?redirectedFrom=fulltext
Have you read Zionism in the Age of the Dictators? Brenner states that, after the passage of the Nuremberg Laws in 1935, Zionism was the one Jewish organization permitted to exist in Germany, and its flag the only one allowed to fly next to the Nazi banner. Revisionist Zionism's ideological and cultural roots were influenced by Italian fascism. Ze'ev Jabotinsky, the founder of Revisionist Zionism, believed that Britain could no longer be trusted to advance Zionism, and that Fascist Italy, as a growing political challenger to Britain, was therefore an ally.
No, I haven't. Mr Buergermeister gave me a reading list, which I asked for and ashamedly yet to start. I'm the offspring of a German soldier, captured Normandy aged only 18 yrs, and a displaced German mother, who arrived in UK in 1948 under Operation Westward Ho, I believe. My interest in history has grown learning how the world really works since convid. In one of his articles, always well referenced, one Zionist in Tel Aviv was said to propose a Hiter statue. There was plenty collaboration, Hitler wanted them out and Zionists needed them to move to Palestine. Kibbutz training camps set up to train them on managing the land before they embarked to their new lives. It's all about these privileged groups/banksters, rather than nationalism, particularly now.
So my ancestors are on my father’s side Polish. My father born of two nationalized Poles was born in Germantown, Wisconsin in 1912. My mother is from a family in Kentucky from Bremen, Germany who pioneered with Daniel Boone. She was born 1918.
I read once, that the German language was forerunner to be used in the new world, don't know if there's any truth in it. I never knew my grandparents or other relatives who survived WW2, many didn't, Dresden, apart from my mother's only sister who accompanied my mother to UK at the insistence of their mother, to look out for each other. She also married a German ex POW who were all designated agricultural work for a specific period. I've 2 male cousins and I don't know them, retirement age, as am I. I'm female.
Zionism vs Judaism is a rich and well researched topic. It suggests that, contrary to much public opinion, it may be possible to be anti-Zionist and not anti-Semitic. I have, until recently, conflated the two but now find myself challenging this view.
Agreed, though I feel any and all 'organized' religious groups are simply a club with dues, meant to control all dissenting narratives with groupthink. The clubs funnel money upwards.
This is true but not absolutely so. The great religions became so because they hold secrets of inner transformation which allow the very few an opening to the worlds invisible. The secrets protect themselves by being in plain sight but not practiced. They leaven the bread of those who can perceive and receive. As such they are a necessary part of the human journey. Without them, art slowly dies.
This “holding of the secrets of inner transformation which allow the very few an opening to the worlds invisible” is sometimes permissible in more rigid times than ours if mouths are shut and writing is for the desk. Individuals who convert or go deeply into their faith tradition have their unique insight like an avalanche of spiritual thought generally in conflict with held and felt thought. This naturally is not limited to Faith. Knowledge holders within institutions frequently are barriers and not doorways. I suppose another way into the discussion is that everything in the end is Primate Dominance hierarchy. From Science to Superstition 360 degrees in a complete circle goes the human mind for through time all risen civilizations fall. Valery see’s this in 1919 in the ruins of Europe. https://eprints.lse.ac.uk/110885/1/Glendinning_european_hamlet_accepted.pdf#:~:text=Reflecting%20on%20the%20condition%20of%20Europe%20in%201919,
The Catholics have a highly effective technology for raising up the spirit...confession, forgiveness, contrition. In its original form, it was not through an intercessor. This technology is an example of what I mean by the keeping of secrets in plain view. To practice this with sincerity is most powerful.
In Islam, there is the Istaferallah, the apology for having forgotten. The humility which naturally arises returns the one who says it to his real self.
These are gifts from the religious traditions. Why would we not honor them?
Gifts are outside our thought or we’d have them. The Sufi saying per Idres Shah is that “A man is just an animal unless he has a guide.” 19th century Russia burned to know how best to pray. Funny how that worked out in history. A pious people put to the sword. Americans tremble not, God finds in your Dominion, in your Hybris, in your cultivation of the emptiest Dharma you can discern from Science the Ex Nilho giving rise to Thou - Grade AAA Consumer - great joy. Turning so to speak to the Angles and giggling as well “Adam. Can’t run. Can’t hide. No guide to the other side.”
Bruce, I came across this in my studies. Incredible concerning the Kaballa.
Take a look then get back to me, ok?

Christianity, that is, in its amnesia has forgotten how to make all things new. https://simoneweilcenter.org/publications/2021/11/28/christianitys-abandonment-of-the-future-nicholas-berdyaev-on-philosophy-prophecy-and-eschatology#:~:text=Berdyaev%20wagers%20on%20behalf%20of%20the%20Church%20Triumphant,
