Network of Souls

Posted on November 4, 2013 by ehurst

If my religion is called “Kiln of the Soul,” then any covenant community of faith arising from that religion should be called the “Network of Souls.”

I’ve offered discussion of DIY Religion in general and DIY Christianity. Both are tightly connected to the existence of a global communications network.

While I prefer using the Internet directly and can’t really afford the smartphone type of networking, that doesn’t mean my ideas exclude either. It’s not the physical network itself nor the protocols. The whole thing is bound up in the existence of any networking at all. It’s a virtual community of faith. It transcends all the old habits and definitions of “church” as commonly conceived in Western minds. As noted on my “About” page, my shepherd’s calling is tied directly to the Internet. While I will take full advantage of the peculiarities of the Internet, it won’t take much to find parallels in other forms of networking.

As I also noted on my “About” page, this is not an exclusive covenant. I’m simply extending to you what God has granted to me. To the degree you want to participate, do so. Choose how much pastoral care and religious instruction you need — we each have our own individual calling. If you read these words anywhere in any way at all, my prayers cover you. To the degree you participate in what I teach, you claim the blessings I talk about as pouring out from God’s justice.

I lack the arrogance to imagine I could shape the nascent Networking Civilization I see arising. Rather, I see myself as a conscious participant in what others simply assume without conscious thought. It’s already here, but most folks aren’t thinking about it. The Internet is not about what is transmitted, but the capability itself. For the first time in human existence, it is possible to contact any other human on the planet within a truly short time frame, often instantaneously. As we progress toward universal live communication, it will change how people think and operate.

Theorists talk about human evolution. It won’t matter what happens to our bodies; we have already changed much since ancient times. DNA has drifted, but within certain boundaries. Nor will it matter if human intelligence evolves. We are fallen creatures, and more of the same won’t change anything that matters. What will evolve most is human consciousness. Western Civilization was a failed experiment. For just a brief time in human history, we refused to take full advantage of our meager human talent for thought. Now the quantum logic of ancient times is making a comeback. The old binary thought processes are being left in the dust. The Network is changing humanity, and it’s up to us to seize the opportunity.

Welcome to the Network of Souls.

Quantum Morality and Words

Posted on November 3, 2013 by ehurst

I long for opportunities to demonstrate my faith to those who might not listen to words until they see it.

God has called me to address those with an education and some hope of mental clarity on morality. It’s not that I can’t work with those poorly educated, but my calling on this blog is to address those with the ability to think clearly and live accordingly. Their lives are my primary means of addressing the world, along with mine.

As previously noted here, our single greatest barrier is the inherent stupefication of Western Civilization. The binary logic of the West guarantees moral retardation. It makes it hard for us to even grasp the concept of quantum reasoning, much less allow us to make use of it.

In his best schoolboy Greek grammar, John warns that there is a sort of sin that correlates with spiritual death (1 John 5:13-17). He lacks the both the vocabulary and the necessity for saying it quite that way. What is more obvious is that a large amount of human folly is not necessarily tied to putting your soul in Hell. Such sin will hurt you and damage your testimony; it will screen you from God’s glory. You will lose some of the rich legacy of blessings tied to obeying God’s revelation about His moral character in His creation, but it won’t affect your eternal destiny.

Jesus mentions the unforgivable sin as the other edge of the same sword. If you are so terribly messed up morally that you can blaspheme the Holy Spirit, then it’s pretty certain God has no plans to raise your spirit to eternal life.

It’s hard to explain because today’s Western minds hang too much on the words and ignore the wider context of John’s Hebrew background. Nothing any human can do affects whether their spirits are dead or alive; that is in the hands of God alone. Even though Paul says this quite bluntly in Romans and Ephesians, people still cannot grasp that there are some sins correlating with spiritual death, but none that cause it. Spiritual resurrection is irrevocable as far as we are concerned; God says so quite bluntly, but no one wants to receive it. Not because I can’t offer such information as a fact, but because even my choice of words here can’t be taken as bluntly literal. I’m fighting a literalistic, binary mindset in pointing out the folly of clinging to it.

Thus, my choice to address issues in terms of moral justice. Some things you might choose are not inherently immoral, but foolish in the context. In this sense, folly and sin are rough equivalents. It’s an injustice, even if only to yourself. Investing a vast pool of meaning to the biblical words translated into English as “sin” is what prevents people from understanding on a quantum level. The Hebrew culture uses words as tokens and symbols, not as wagons for payloads. Words cannot contain reality; they point to a path you can wander in hopes of discovering what God placed there for you personally.

I tend to limit my audience here by using a high vocabulary. You who understand it are the ones God has chosen to lead the rest. You are the intellectual shepherds. There are some who will never climb the intellectual heights. We don’t give them words so much as show them. Such people tend to mistake their feelings for a move of the Spirit. It may not be possible to break of them of that tendency, yet they have their place in this world. We must address their needs, too — “feed My sheep” Jesus said. We lead them into the green pastures of God’s justice by how we live. Sheep don’t pay much attention to anything except their limited urges to eat, drink and make more sheep. They follow when the shepherd calls out to get their attention, and then moves. In this real world, I do that myself. Readers can sense that in what I write and absorb the same moral imperatives.

I sincerely hope in the coming days I can have even more opportunities to collect anecdotes of such shepherding.

Job 14

Posted on November 2, 2013 by ehurst

Job and his friends held an entirely different understanding of time and lived a different pace of life. For Job and his friends to make long speeches was entirely normal and even expected. Men would patiently hear the full outpouring of an anguished heart, so what we have here is surprising rudeness from Job’s friends. Meanwhile, a long and rambling speech imploring God for some sense of relief is wholly within protocol. Should a lord bid his servant speak, it would be for the lord to choose when he’d heard enough. His silence and lack of response would be taken as a sign to keep talking. For the trio to interrupt Job’s long appeal to God was nearly unforgivable.

Most Westerners fail to understand how men spoke in ancient times in the Near East. It seems to us wandering and changing sentiments. This is false. Job is entirely consistent with his emotional outpouring. The attitudes of a wise man in his social setting are more complex and nuanced than would be imaginable in our late Western times. A primary element of protocol is for Job to speak of God’s anger, but it hardly means the same as it does in our culture. He does not suppose to know God’s feelings or motives, but refers to what he experiences at God’s hands.

So this chapter begins with a full confession that man deserves whatever sorrow God hands down. He is Creator; who would question His actions? Man is just a troublesome infestation on God’s hobby. Man isn’t worthy of God’s attention. Subtly here Job suggests it’s probably easier for those people whom God ignores as not part of His central plans. Job is held by an overpowering sense of divine calling and his flesh would be glad just for a short vacation from it. He asks that God at least let him have a sense of having fulfilled his mission before what seems his certain death soon.

It’s poetry to weave together the images of a tree that recovers at the merest hint of water before it comes to revive its roots. Even cut down, aged roots will send forth shoots. But man is more like the water in an arid country such as where Job sat. When struck down, men do not recover, but drain away and are forgotten.

The ancient Mesopotamian view of the afterlife was incomplete. Most knew there was another realm of existence they might see, something far beyond words. However, few had a clear understanding of what Jesus called “Paradise.” Even among those who did understand, Sheol remained a figure of speech for going down into the place of the dead somewhere in the bowels of the earth. While it seems Job might still cling to this old view, he also knows that God can resuscitate or resurrect the dead. He clearly expects there will be a day when the Lord will call up the dead and judge them. So Job prays that God let him pass until some later date and wrath is complete, then call him back, because even the dead will hear the call of their Creator. Job is fully aware of his Lord’s favor and expects to see Him some day.

But for now, Job’s life is full of sorrow. God has limited the days of his life. Job was confident God would cover his sins, but human hope for better days had been worn away to nothing. There’s nothing any man could do to counter God’s omnipotence. When a man dies, he’s not there to see how his hopes and dreams turned out, good or bad. Nor can his survivors know his sorrow after he’s gone. Job would be the only one to know his pain.

More Failure of Western Civilization

Posted on November 2, 2013 by ehurst

Absolutism is death; symbiosis is life.

The ANE shepherd isn’t interested in total control. The ultimate good under God’s Laws will ever be the equilibrium of social stability. The ultimate call of manhood in those ancient civilizations was to track the fluctuating balance point in every context that allowed men to see God most clearly. There was nothing about controlling the results of any encounter, but about matching necessary consequences with the gravity of actual threat to stability. God is always in control; the shepherd depends on God for justice as the ultimate good.

Case in point: There isn’t much we can do about bad parenting. God’s Law demands parents be free in this respect and offers crushing divine wrath when a society thinks of children as a state asset. Yes, that wrath comes on a divine timeline, but it comes nonetheless predictably. Only blood and covenant ties offer any valid influence over parenting. Yes, that means society takes responsibility for the results of bad parenting, but we call it “redemption.” We find ways to maximize the talents God placed in people against the necessity of restricting bad appetites. So, do we then cut off our nose to spite our face? Do we “punish” the criminal genius by removing any opportunity to use their talents? What happens when we let some safely exercise their talents?

There are massive serious failures in our prison systems in America, but sometimes a light of intelligence does shine through. American corrections is based on a badly flawed social mythology coming out of the Middle Ages and seldom shows any useful adjustment to reality. That’s true of our entire social structure because it’s always been about the control and convenience of those who govern, and has seldom given any real consideration to social stability as God views it.

So we see folks often working around this massive barrier of the mind to come up with real answers. When the oligarchs demand control they should never have, eventually people realize how wrong it is, and find ways around it. It’s the nature of the Western state to draw the least intelligent of servants, so the really smart folks are typically outside government service. Given enough harassment from the state, folks will find a means to escape that control. They’ll work together, often embracing some portion of what the Bible considers a valid covenant. This moves things closer to divine justice, and God working through His creation will promote these things.

The social system will always evolve on its own. We are seeing the calcified thinking of TPTB regarding the use of daylight, still resting on the habits of a nation of agronomists, enforcing a rule society mostly ignores. If the idiots in government refuse to take the lead, they’ll be crushed (figuratively, at least) in the embarrassing stampede to another standard. The rising Network Civilization will coordinate on their own terms, with our without state approval.

Western governments don’t have a clue about reality.

Computer Fright and badBIOS

Posted on November 1, 2013 by ehurst

Okay, so Halloween is over, and it’s time to call the bluff.

I’m not a part of the technical elite, but I do know when something doesn’t pass the smell test. There is something wrong with what Drago Ruiu has been reporting. Since he is such a major figure on the hacking and security scene, there is little excuse for releasing such highly speculative reports.

Is it possible? People who know a lot more than I say that it’s possible. However, those same people say the reports offered by Ruiu are not proper, whether accurate or not. On some hardware, the BIOS can be infected from USB drives. The BIOS could do some of this stuff and could figure out how to fight multiple OSes and multiple hardware architectures. It’s possible that someone has spent enough time and research at a high enough level that it could download the tools to fight with the likes of OpenBSD, Mac and Windows all at once. It’s almost possible to pass a few C&C packets via hypersonic communications from speaker to microphone — just barely possible.

Whoever did this had a time budget, equipment access and expertise equivalent to the likes of a government agency in the US, Israel, and a few other places. A private individual or a small secretive team is altogether improbable. However much this thing actually works as described, it is the product of some elite government spy agency. I tend to believe Ruiu is either playing a game or has some blind spots in his competence.

It’s altogether likely, as Paul Ducklin suggests, that this will all be clarified at one of two upcoming conferences. I suspect it’s not entirely a hoax, but highly exaggerated.

Yapping Religious Terriers

Posted on October 31, 2013 by ehurst

The fundamental nature of the Fall is placing human reason in the executive role. God gave the intellect as the proper tool for organizing how one is to obey the Spirit. The intellect is the servant, not the master.

Western Civilization assumes man’s intellect is divine, assertively refusing to discuss it. Western Christianity pays lip service to the Fall, but subtly buys into the Western assumption. All matters of faith “must” be reasonable; theology has to make sense to the intellect. In other words, Western Christianity is fundamentally blasphemous by accepting the Pharisaical assumptions that make reason into a god. The Pharisees crucified Jesus in part because their Hellenized rational conceptions about God were sacrosanct. Not the contents so much as the frame of reference was the false god. In this the Judaizers managed to conquer the mainstream Christian religion of the first century.

On the one hand, the majority position of today’s mainstream evangelical churches asserts Decision Theology. This they share with a lot of non-Christian religions, including Islam. Both grow uncomfortable with someone daring to promote something contrary to their zealous beliefs. While I haven’t faced the dhimmitude of Islam, I’ve come pretty close to it with American Christians yapping about my comfort with folks who aren’t Christians.

Only a religion with a weak deity needs Truth Police. Our God is not confined within this fallen realm. Words of invocation have no real power; ever hear of the term “lip service”? Ritual objects have no real power. Demons do not infest places and objects. They are spirit beings just like angels and God tightly limits their authority. Legalism is a demonic tool, as is materialism. Jesus said His Father was a Spirit and could only be worshiped in spirit and truth, and it didn’t matter on which mountain you stood or whether it was inside a sacred structure. Does God require the works of human hands?

If we pronounce a blessing over some family or person, who gets to decide whether God honors that? God is not bound by anything man can say or do, and certainly not bound by any human logic. He defeated the enemies of Israel with a choir armed only with their voices in praise.

So when I deal with sinners, pagans, wiccans, magicians, Mormons, Catholics, Muslims, etc., don’t tell me I can’t pray for their welfare. Eternal salvation is not a human choice at all, but walking in righteousness is. Christianity is a religion; the relationship with God is an entirely separate matter. The main reason so many of these folks aren’t trying out Christianity is because so many Christians aren’t walking in the righteousness of the Bible. Western Christianity is both alien and hostile to what the Bible teaches.

Don’t try to sell me a cheap plastic disk with the name “Jesus” on it as somehow superior to the real Frisbee from Wham-o. Don’t try to tell me your reason and logic are up to the task of explaining much of anything when God bluntly said it could not, repeatedly throughout Scripture. Your cheap toy frisbee logic won’t fly as well as the symbolic logic of the Bible.

Pain Is Gain

Posted on October 30, 2013 by ehurst

It wasn’t working right. My “new” laptop was behaving inconsistently with Xubuntu, so I had to test other options. Every time there was update, it broke something. Win7 certainly didn’t work; the manufacturer’s drivers kept breaking the file system and Win7 kept having to rewind back to where it was freshly installed just to boot up. That was worthless. Scientific Linux 6.4 was nice, but it kept freezing, a complete I/O lockup that required a hard reset after just a few minutes of operation. Finally, I tried Debian Wheezy. It’s working fine now.

In the process, I managed to break the tip of the charger adapter. So I had to get a new one. I won’t recount the gory details, but I ended up with first-class hardware at a very low price, and managed to stop and service a client while hunting for it. But now my shoulder is hurting all the time and it’s enough to wake me in the night. Still, I won’t stop the workouts; I just use various pain relief ointments and keep trucking.

The point is not what I went through, really. God is at work; I’m simply doing my best to stay involved in what I see His hand performing.

What matters here is that the misery through which I pass when I’m not sure what God has in mind is a critical part of the process. The purpose of sorrow is to alienate us farther from this world and to drive us into His arms. Do you imagine that computer stuff really matters? Not a whit. It’s just a collection of tools for use in His Kingdom business. His business is changing me and sometimes some of the things around me. But without a doubt, the human discomfort is a necessity for me and you. Learn to embrace it.

Buckle Up, Westerners

Posted on October 29, 2013 by ehurst

When you finally grow up and learn to understand the full range of reasoning, not restricting your thoughts to the shallow swamp of Aristotelian epistemology, everything you’ve learned is transformed.

The whole of Western history is one long, sad tale of building skyscrapers on the sand. With a visceral hatred for virtually every good gift of ancient civilizations, Western man has no excuse for his egregiously stupid failure to understand this world. God has given the West enough rope to hang itself, and the gallows are just about ready.

Now is the time to trade your empty materialistic logic for some deep truth, folks.

If you were blessed with a decent education, you are no doubt aware of the various economic and political creeds popular with Americans today. With a decent awareness of elder philosophies, you recognize that people do not act in their own best interests. They always act in pursuit of their favorite mythology. That is, they may have a wealth of knowledge, but it’s always standing on one or another false world view. At best, they have only half-truths in their partisan ranting.

For example, even as far back as the Middle Ages, feudalism as we all know it was a half-truth. It was backwards, thinking of real estate as the primary source of value, when the Ancient Near East (ANE) wisely understood it was people. The European peasants were essentially slaves, but it was not the enlightened slavery of the ANE. There is a fundamental difference in the very concept of reality that separates to two, and you simply cannot read Western mythology back into ANE societies. It really was an entirely different world.

The pinnacle of Western philosophical progress was the Enlightenment. Everything that followed it was a reaction, which meant it all stood firmly on it. The quintessential political and economic theory of the Enlightenment is libertarianism. It’s a mythology that assumes human reason is not fallen, that man when left to himself will generally do decent things. This is manifestly false, but libertarians keep preaching it. Let men be free and those who are psychopaths will always rise to power. Even when you start out with the likes of the Second Amendment, it’s only a hurdle in the path as the psychopaths will simply find a way to disarm their victims. Most people are too hesitant to kill the psychopaths anyway. Psychopaths promote the lie that they don’t exist.

Communism was simply a second reaction to the same problem of Western feudalism, but more secular and more “scientific” and far less cultured. It’s a half-truth, in that it assumes human nature is malleable. If you are any flavor of progressive, you are just a damned communist with a few policies tweaks. It’s the same satanic lie that people can be fixed. All the other popular theories are even stupider.

They only believe they have competing agendas. With a clear ANE understanding of human nature, you realize all the various political and economic theories are faint variations of the same basic lie, that human reason is capable of encompassing all truth.

To my friends who embrace any particular partisan agenda, God has damned your politics, so buckle your seat belts.

The Power of Transparency

Posted on October 28, 2013 by ehurst

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” (Matthew 5:8)

Seeing God is its own reward; basking in His glory trumps every other human desire. While this does correlate with things going pretty well for us in our mundane human pursuits, touching the divine truth is an interest we should hold in the ultimate sense. This is a critical element in Christian Mysticism: We have little real interest in this world, only so much as it takes to keep our lines open to the otherworld.

A decade ago I was under federal surveillance. I wrote about why (linked article now gone) but didn’t address the mechanics of living under that baleful gaze of the state. The technology has changed dramatically since then, so there’s not much to gain by explaining how I knew it wasn’t some wild personal paranoia. My phone was tapped for awhile but I’m pretty sure it was more routine than any real intent. By the time this stuff got rolling, the people involved would have had little enthusiasm because they had already contacted me and knew it was a mistake. Still, there was a lot of pressure from the top to catch Mr. Thompson and the subordinates went through the motions.

By the time I left Texas that had pretty much folded. I’m quite sure there remains some tiny sliver of automated tracking that is renewed briefly from time to time, as is the standard procedure for such things. Once you have a dossier, the system never forgets you.

At one point a few years ago, it seemed a more purposeful watch was reinstated. Most of it was the sort of interference with my online activities that can’t be written off as mere technical glitches. It was too many of them in too many ways all at the same time. After eliminating all the possibilities on my end, I was left with things like large numbers of hits on my static website from a very narrow selection of IP addresses that were very hard to trace, really oddball comments from folks not so hard to trace back to federal employment, and so forth. During that time I suggested on my blog here that I might have to make myself a little harder to reach and even tested alternative blogging opportunities.

Then it suddenly faded again.

Let’s put this all into proper perspective. First of all, the crazy thugs who think this high level of snooping is necessary are truly bent minds. They are crafty about human behavior, but their moral compass has been crushed and is totally non-functional. They have no concept for what is normal human behavior, and view everything with deep suspicion. They are wacko, and giving them the power to snoop and file reports to other kinds of legal authority, authorities which are equally wacko and lacking in moral sensibility, means you and I will suffer oppression for no just reason at all. Innocence in no defense from a psychopath government.

Second, there’s not a darn thing we can do to stop the snooping. When I contemplated “going underground” it wasn’t about avoiding the snooping, but avoiding the interference. I run Linux on most of my computers, and keep track of even more obscure alternative OSes, because I want to retain sufficient control to do what I’m utterly certain God demands of me. I know that I can’t really stop the likes of the NSA if they really decide to plant malware on my computer. Do you know that there are viruses now that can rewrite your system BIOS from a single use of any USB device? It won’t matter what OS you run, either. So the point is not to avoid snooping, but to maintain sufficient control to do what I have to do. Windows tends to hide things from the system owner, and weakens the level of control I feel I need.

Your biggest struggle in life is learning what you can and cannot control, and then what you should try to control. Barring radical changes in the technology landscape and how our government operates, I fully expect life to get difficult now and again from that awful attention of the state. The power of transparency is not in our innocence, as if there really were such a thing. Rather, it’s in the obedience of a higher standard, trusting a much higher power to keep things where they belong. If I am faithful to my God’s moral character, I can rest assured I won’t face anything outside His glory. That doesn’t mean I’ll like everything that happens. It means everything will most certainly be in my best interest, because His glory is my best interest.

We have enough trouble without resisting the Spirit of God and giving the demons room to operate in our lives.

Irrelevant Church

Posted on October 27, 2013 by ehurst

This is going to sound arrogant; I can’t help that.

I am very leery of people who chatter so much about leaving the churches. Most of them are trying to escape something prodding their inflamed conscience. They mutter on and on about the church condemning some sin they favor. I can’t do much to help folks like that, though I often try.

Quite some years ago I knew Western Christianity was in deep trouble. Whether I could have done more in some objective sense is useless to ask. I always did the best I knew in every context and my conscience is clear. Not that I could blame any church leaders for discounting my warnings, since there were so many similar voices making a whole lot more noise with competing warnings. My efforts were lost in the shuffle. Eventually, I was shown the door one time too many. Their perceptions were not attuned to my message.

It was quite some time ago I took this as a cue from God. By no means was He telling me to hush; it was His driving conviction that caused me to speak in the first place. Rather, I took this all as a cue to get away from the mainstream church. For several years I wrote articles about doing church differently, doing it outside the traditional church structure. As time went on, my articles were progressively radical. I didn’t just reject my own background, but all theology and church practice of Western Christianity as a whole.

There are some overlapping specific teachings, of course, but I reject their entire approach. So I began exploring what it meant to reject Western Civilization and all the intellectual assumptions. Recently, I went back and reviewed all my academic material and wrote a book on how the Bible is based on a view of reality and of knowing that is alien to virtually the whole of Western Christianity (the book linked on the right side of my blog).

While plenty of individual Christians have no trouble with my message, even as they remain within the boundaries of their respective church memberships, I have grown increasingly alienated from the mainstream churches and traditional organized religion. Once again, I’m taking this as a cue from God.

I’ve often recognized the logical consequences of what I believed. If Western Christianity stands entirely on the foundation of Western Civilization, what will happen to the mainstream organized religion when the West no longer supports it? For example, given the current trends in Western governments, there will surely come a time when governments will turn against the churches. As they are currently organized, very few churches will continue functioning on any level at all against official government sanction.

Meanwhile, traditional churches are fading away. The new generations see nothing that answers the call in their souls. The current trend of growing vanilla mega-churches is more about gathering the last few believers from a shrinking pool. The problem is not the gospel; the problem is how it comes wrapped and filtered. If you ask me, it’s not the gospel at all. Folks, traditional Western Christianity is dying on its own, never mind the high probability of political oppression.

Most Western Christians could never imagine the Holy Spirit continuing His work outside the structure. I can’t imagine God letting it go on much longer as it is. I have no timeline, no prophetic vision of how it will look. What I have now is a very powerful urge to distance myself from the mainstream of Christian religion as commonly recognized. I can only assume there is some connection between that urgent move of the Spirit and God’s plans. I’m the last person eager for the suffering and sorrow sure to come.

Still, I have to make sure the average Joe and Jane do not associate me with that mess. The imperative of the Spirit is there; my mind only now begins to recognize how that must be organized and implemented. I believe my ordination and everything attached to that will become meaningless. However, I suspect this will be a highly quantum-ized moral consideration. It won’t be the same in very context. Aside from having a “computer ministry” I’m going to make sure I don’t let people think of me as being a preacher or pastor in meat space. I’ll probably end up saying “Christian Mystic” a lot because most people won’t associate that with church.

I’m not saying all churches will disappear, but that Western Christianity as a whole is doomed, and I believe that doom is very close upon us.
