Conspiracy theorist is a pejorative term used to denigrate the character of anyone who dares question orthodox thinking, question the narrative put forth by the establishment, the accepted thinking of the "authorities". In another age such people were called heretics. Words like 'heretic' and 'conspiracy theorist' are psychological weapons used by the powerful to shape the perceptions of the fearful and obedient. Such creatures are diseased and association with them or their ideas is a grievous sin that can only bring trouble on you and yours. "For your own good, and the good of the 'xxxx', have nothing to do with them!"
Civilization was never moved forward by those who exalt orthodoxy. Without the freedom to critique the official position advanced by "those in authority" be they in matters of science, politics, economics, and religion what freedom is there? Indeed, how can any civilization be advanced if the "authorities" are allowed to criminalise those who highlight, question, and discuss the flaws and shortcomings of the "accepted thinking", who dare critique was is and envision a better way? And what is a Better Way but a system in which justice more abundantly abounds and unjust imbalances of power are corrected, where abuse is reduced, and respect multiplied? Who stands against such advances but those who profit from the status quo? Traitors of their fellow men.
The prophets have always been people of exceptional vision, capable seeing beyond the mere surface of things into deeper truths, sometimes sensing the hidden dangers and fallacies, which the less enlightened mistake for truth. Thus illuminated by wisdom they perceive the catastrophes that await if humanity fails to adjust its course, fails to align itself with higher truth. They who reject the wisdom of their prophets will be consigned to the dust while the prophets will take their seats among the everlasting stars as shining lights whose enlightenment ever and anon will illuminate the destiny of men and nations for those that have the ears to hear.
We achieve liberty insofar as we can discover and abide by new and higher truth and those who would hide, or through violence and subterfuge, seek to suppress truth thereby endeavour to keep men in the sure chains of darkness - which is ignorance. But who would hide truth save those who fear it and who fears truth other than a deceiver and what is a deceiver other than a thief? The one who questions the Establishment is not always the enemy of the state neither are the emissaries of the Establishment always the friends of the state, much less protectors of their fellow man.
Hi folks, The Voices of the Prophets is a forum whose purpose is to give people a venue to share AUDIO reflections, monologues, conversations, interviews, questions exploring what they have thus far learned and have yet to learn! We all lead such busy lives that it is sometimes hard to find 5 minutes to sit and read a newspaper much less something the size of the Urantia Book! In spite of these challenge, such is our spiritual hunger, we do find the time to satisfy the yearnings of our soul: while driving, doing our chores, or while going for a walk or run. All we need to do is download the talk or lesson that interests us, stick on our headphones or plug into our speaker, and listen away to our hearts content. Where there’s a will there’s a way! It is envisioned that the talks presented herein will be relatively unscripted; spoken from the heart. They might be monologues, conversations, songs of praise, whatever the spirit inspires you to share. It is hoped that the subjects discussed deepen insight, remove obstacles, resolve conflicts, enhance fellowship, and open the way for our spiritual cyber community to prosper. You are invited to provide comment, feedback, and questions to help explore and deepen the conversations.
