How do people end up adopting these ways? It all begins in the human mind! The people of Noah's day knew of God, and His judgment on the world. Evidence of their world-wide flood was everywhere. Some of their ancestors who lived through it were still alive. Yet, all it took was a couple of hundred years to bring them together once again - united against God! Why? What caused the people to turn so quickly against the God who created them? What was behind all of their rising animosity? Simply, there was ideology being pumped into the masses on a large scale - the same ideology which individually produced a change of heart before the flood. This ultimately, again, worked to seduce the overall majority of the populous. This became their own, ancient version of "political correctness": Culture - a definition: “… a pattern of behavior, learned, developed or otherwise… that has worked well enough to be considered valid and, therefore, to be taught to new members as the correct way to perceive, think and feel in relation to those problems.” Edgar H Schein, Organizational Culture and Leadership 201, p. 1 The great "veil" that Mystery Babylon hides behind, back then as well as today, often involves "political correctness". Certain views are flooding into our society. Today, it is through a propaganda "machine" - a progressively left-leaning news media, entertainment media, and academia. The political bombardment by these media outlets have the same effect on our world as Hitler's propaganda "machine" did in the 1940's! Back then, people were seduced by certain ideologies, and wanted to feel good about being "politically correct", so they began to adopt whatever the 'movers and shakers' around them told them was right. It's all the same today - only from a different theological viewpoint. There is one fact about the human mind - it is divided into two halves, with a "left" and "right" brain. One side or the other usually dominates the individual's thought. Those with "right-brain" dominance often seem to think with their "heart", or their emotions. They can be more passionate, artistic, and open to new experiences. Those with "left-brain" dominance, however, may often tend to think with their "head" - with logical, rational thoughts; with less emotion. Funny, those with this "right-brain" dominance seem to run parallel with those who adopt a number of ideals of this "left" wing. As stated in Politically Correct Babylon, those who take on these political views often look at the world in terms of how compassionate or fair something is, or how much impact something would have on their individual freedom. Again, emotions, compassion, and freedom of ideology often come into play, in these cases. Facts often mean little to these people - it's perception that matters; how they feel about it. What begins to lead a person to follow these modems of thought often starts at a young age - when their mind is young. All it may take is one or two traumatic events in childhood to start to turn someone towards these ways of thinking. Sure, bad things happen to all people. It's how we react to the negative aspects life that matter. Those who begin to go down the "politically correct" way of Babylon and, ultimately, the "Ways of Cain", begin to take on the same mindset as many people did back in the Tower of Babel. Many who maintain these "left" thoughts often want the world to be a certain way, and just plain cannot accept the reality that it isn't. Any fool can see that we are not the same - we have differences in culture and ways of life that separate us - some that can be downright negative. True, we should all get along. True, we all have rights; but, collectively, we have to put something into a society before we get something out of it! A lot of people think they are entitled to "40 acres and a mule" without having to work to achieve it. Some scream out "where's my program" and "where's my money", but cannot understand, nor would be willing to accept, personal sacrifice. There is truly no honor - in the classical sense - in many people, now a days. True, life is not fair, but we also must realize it became that way because of Adam and Eve's sin. Our world is this way because of man's sin, not God. Some people want to continually blame God for their own situations and failures. True, some things happen that are truly not our fault, but, more often than not, people get themselves in their own situations. As with Cain, people also begin to believe the world begins to revolve around themselves, and not God. These "Way of Cain" are truly coming back to us - full circle. What do we do about it, to stop our world from collapsing under the weight of these detrimental ways of life? First, realize it's so easy to "play the victim" as Cain did, and avoid the real truths of life. It's so easy to twist the reality of things, to try to get away from personal responsibility. Be strong; don't cower at the first sign of bad weather. It is this whole sense of "entitlement without effort" that drains money and strength from any society - this happened in the past, collapsing so many cultures and empires before us; and it is happening again, in our modern day. Why can't more of us see through this political "veil" of Mystery Babylon? Why are people acting just like they did when Semiramis and Nimrod ruled? It's because there are a number of people in key positions around us, intentionally or unintentionally contributing to our own blindness. A person in the media, for example, might not like something or someone around them. They will make the politics of the entire situation sound as favorable to their beliefs as possible. These people might report on the exception of the story, rather than the rule. Instead of reporting on the 99 times out of 100 something works, they concentrate on the 1 time it didn't - all to make the entire system look bad. This is one of the easiest ways to twist a story, destroy authority, and bring others on the same ideological band wagon! Once someone, by these manipulations, begins to concentrate on how negative the 1 exception is, they begin to consider the political thoughts of the agitator. This is how ideological change slowly manipulated the masses in Nazi Germany; this is how it works today. What results, on a grand scale, is that the ways of God and the Bible are twisted, and made to look bad. God and the Bible now become a person's "oppressor" - a way to take away individual freedoms; a way to stifle compassion! As a result, the ways of Babylon and Cain become the keys to "true" ways to compassion and freedom! Just notice how many Christian values are being shunned, today - the ideologies taking it's place are none other than these self-centered, pagan concepts. We, at Mystery-Babylon.org, ask the individual to not be influenced by empty thoughts of "political correctness", and not fall to the political morals portrayed by much of the media, but rather discover where these ideological thoughts actually might come from. We need to discover what actually are the "Ways of Cain"; we need to decipher what actually comes from Babylon. The more we know, the closer to understanding the true direction the world is heading, as well the ancient force that's continually heading us there! In the end, we need to ask ourselves a couple of questions: where do many of these "politically correct" ideologies and political thoughts come from if they don't come from the Bible and God? Also, in what direction would these thoughts ultimately head us towards if not God? Could they being heading us, not forwards, but backwards - towards the same "one world government" that was once Babylon? The book The Rise of Mystery Babylon will explain this in further detail.
