How do a lot of people end up following the same way - towards a common goal? It all begins in the human mind! The people of Noah's day knew of God, and his judgment. Evidence of a world-wide flood was everywhere. Some of their ancestors that went through it were even still alive, yet, a couple of hundred years was all it took to bring them together at the Tower of Babel. They were united - against God - once again! What caused the people to turn against the God who created them, and recently had to judge them for their evil deeds? What is behind all this animosity, once again, that came over the people again? Simply, ideological thought was pumped into the masses, on a massive scale, which produced an individual change of heart, which, ultimately, produced a change in their overall culture. 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 This great "veil" that Mystery Babylon hides behind today is nothing more than our modern thoughts of "political correctness" - fueled by a progressively left-leaning news media, entertainment media, and academia. The bombardment by these liberal modems, today, have the same effect on the public as Hitler's propaganda machine did to hypnotize his people to follow Nazism in the 1940's! It's all the same - only from a different theological source. People want to feel good about being 'politically correct', and doing what 'movers and shakers' around them tell them is the "right thing". How do we identify how this "political correctness" begins to take hold in a person's brain? There is a popular conception about the human mind - it is divided into two halves. There is a "left-brain" and "right-brain", with one or the other usually dominating each individual person. Those with "right- brain" dominance usually tend to think with their "heart", or their emotions. They tend to be more passionate, more artistic, and open to new suggestions. Those with "left-brain" dominance usually tend to think more with their "head" - they are more logical and rational, with less emotion. Funny, those with a "right-brain" dominance also often seem to end up thinking the same way as a typical liberal or democrat. As stated in Politically Correct Babylon, those who take on these political views often think of the world in terms of how compassionate or fair something is - again, emotions, compassion and freedom of ideology come into play in all of these. Facts mean little to these people, it is their perception of their world that matters to them - how they feel about it. What leads a person to follow this culture of thought often begins at a young age, when their mind is young. All it takes it some traumatic event in a person's childhood to turn some people towards this way of thinking. Sure, bad things happen to all of us. It is how we react to it thats makes us follow one way or the other. Those who follow the "politically correct" way of Babylon and, ultimately, the Way of Cain, begin to do things like they did back in the Tower of Babel; they begin to act like Cain did. Life is not fair. It became that way when Adam and Eve sinned. Our world is this way because of man's sin, not God. Some people want to blame God for their own situations. True, some things that happen to someone are truly not their fault, but, a lot more often than not, it is the person themselves that is at least partly responsible for their own situations. The people that follow these ways are often hypersensitive - they think other people are always intentionally out to abuse them. They are often thin-skinned - everything seems to annoy or offend them. They are also often pessimistic, and walk around with that same "chip on their shoulder" they developed when they were young. They end up so insecure they often take what other people say so personally. They ultimately end up very cynical about their own society and world - just as Cain had been. They follow human nature, and, ultimately, the ways of the world to a tee. Their thoughts on society often become the same - ideologically based. They would like a world that should be a certain way, but, in reality, the world just plain isn't. But, these people, regardless, often take the ideologies of "equality" and "human rights" to the extreme. Any fool can see that we are truly not all the same. We all have differences in culture and ways of life that separate us - some that are downright negative. True, we all have rights, but we have to put something into society to get something out of it. These kind of people think, because of whatever situation they are in, that they should be entitled to something. People want "40 acres and a mule" but do no want to work for it. They scream "where's my 'program'?" or "Wheres my money?" but cannot understand personal sacrifice. They have an excuse for everything - nothing is their fault. There is truly no honor - in the classical sense - to their way of life. Their morality is whatever they think it should be. It is so easy to "play the victim", and avoid the real truth to their own lives. It's so easy to twist the reality of things, in order to get them away from their own personal responsibility. It's all psychology. What happened to individual strength? What happened to individual honor? Instead of trying to blame anybody around them, and getting out of everything, maybe these people should take action for themselves, and make their own decisions. We should not be "entitled" to everything and not do our part to contribute. Poverty is often not a lack of income, but an attitude. It is, also, quite often the results of the choices we make in our lives. It is this whole sense of 'entitlement without effort' that drains money and strength from a society - past and modern. People generate out, from within. If their heart is a certain way, it will ultimately come out in the way they perceive the world to others. A typical example of how people manipulate the truth to gather sympathy for their own causes is as follows: a person may not like war. In order to make the politics of war sound as bad as possible, they would bring up the story of a couple on their wedding day who was killed as a result of mistaken gunfire. They do not want to report that 100 of the enemy was destroyed that day. They do not want to report any successes in the overall conflict, just that one exception. It is that one negative thing - the two people on their wedding day - which comes out to others. This is truly reporting the exception rather than the rule. This is one way they use to twist the facts of a story - a way to appeal to someone else's "bleeding heart", and bring them on the same band wagon! Once someone, by these methods, begins to make their causes sound more appealing, their ideology then becomes contagious, and slowly becomes assimilated by those around them. The ways of God, through corrupted influences such as this, becomes a person's "oppressor" in many instances - the ways of Babylon become their "freedom". Just look how many Christian values are shunned upon, today - and what is taking it's place. It happened back then, it is happening more and more, today. We, at Mystery-Babylon.org, are just asking people to be moral, and not be influenced by empty 'political correctness'. You become entitled in society when you put something worthwhile into it. Human rights should be "earned", not just entitled. We ask those, no matter what religion or political beliefs they may have, to just take responsibility for their own actions, and not to judge others. Understand the origins of thought around you. The more you learn from unbiased sources such as this, the closer to these truths you will become. In the end, we have to ask ourselves - where do these "politically correct" ideologies and political thoughts truly come from, and what direction do they seem to ultimately seem to lead us towards? The book The Rise of Mystery Babylon will explain all of this in further detail. Copyright 2007, Brett T., All Rights Reserved |
