THE RED PILL
DIALOGUE AND DISCUSSION ON EDUCATION, ENVIRONMENT AND RACE
Decoding (posted by Jessica Pope)
THINKING about decoding
I have been examining the different religious texts. Buddhism makes very good sense and is high on the list of philosophical positions. Also, my view into African Religions would place them up there, especially Yoruba. The writer, “C.S. Lewis” makes sense, and without question, the Quran. The earlier expressions of Christianity are better than the later ones. Once one discovers the true meaning of the words that are used and the conceptual framework then each tradition becomes easier to comprehend. Unfortunately we have witnessed the degradation and disintegration of these past traditions. I am faced with the question of why these religious movements did not undo the individual mental processes as well as the political structures that produce and maintain human exploitation.

I've frequently seen The Chronicles of Narnia referenced in religious circles, but I don't understand why. I now see the need for me to re-read many books that I originally read for entertainment purposes only. Movies too, I guess, for that matter.

Some of us will learn how to do this as a group and then you will have others to talk with and this can make what you are doing much easier to accomplish. Once you start to become receptive to the thought that is being transmitted by the projection YOU WILL get the picture and then BOOM---THE BIG BANG!!!
