More protests Against The Theocratic Regime in Iran

[The Grand Nudger]

The Grand Nudger:
 
- I do understand this. That’s the atheist explanation. This explanation is correct in many ways. But there is also a spiritual explanation.

No.  I can tell you do not understand this precisely because you said that above before launching into what follows below.  It acts this way.  It expresses itself as-such.  It is and does these things everywhere and at all known times regardless of whether there are gods or spirits or competing ideologies.  
 

I see, in most religions including Islam, something called “the ego mind” which is different from “our true self” that distorts all true spiritual teachings, because
1) It merely understands spiritual teachings. The energy level of these individuals is adapted to a more mundane type of existence and not yet ready for a more intellectual / philosophical approach to issues that deal with realities that are beyond the physical reality.
2) It is scared of these teachings. “Change” is a very big issue for the ego. Just think how hard it is for some people to give up habits like gambling, smoking cigarettes or alcohol. The Ego likes things the way it has them and is frequently lazy and unwilling to explore different paths that are presented to it.
 
- So people are distorting the original meaning of these religious teachings. If you are not making mistakes in the interpretation of spiritual teachings this makes you an enlightened being or Avatar.

The Original Meaning™ of these texts is even more barbaric and shitty than the modern interpretations you still see as broken.  What you're doing here is creating a fantasy of a past religion to vouch for your current religious beliefs, while calling the people who hold to those religious beliefs you would discard -for religious reasons- literal untermensch as an explanation for why they hold them.  Their fucking energy levels are low, lol.  Are you selling spirituality or testosterone supplements here?  Think about it.
 

The other category is the category of people who are willingly distorting all of these teachings and are literally putting these teachings to the service of their ego. These are completely evil people who need to be stopped. And that’s what we are dealing with in Iran.

Perhaps this was always their purpose, perhaps the teachings are themselves destructive, perhaps this is exactly the outcome a rational person would expect from a theocratic religious tradition founded by a pillaging warlord whose pedophilic heart gave out on him before the murderous little lordlings beneath him started squabbling for the remains of his bloody throne?  Until you can understand that religious people will do things you detest because they are pious you will fall down over and over on this issue.  The trouble with the iranian government isn't that they do islam wrong, it's that they do government wrong.
