Tibet Documentary Highlights the Importance of Religion
Religion is the sine qua non for human success. Its defeat spells humanity’s demise. We will miss our Destiny, our Rendezvous with God. Mankind will be a Failure for all Eternity.
Religion is the compass provided by our Creator to find bliss.
by Henry Makow PhD
I commend Yogis of the East– Rare Documentary Film to you to illustrate how religion, in this case Buddhism, binds a people together like a carpet weave.
You can’t have a genuine culture without a religion. Culture depends on shared spiritual values and ideals.
Religion is the sin qua non for fulfillment. It aligns you with God’s benevolent purpose. When everyone becomes an instrument of God’s Will, they miraculously align like a snowflake.
It’s counterintuitive but we find love by loving not by self seeking.
I am pessimistic because the Satanists have infiltrated and destroyed most genuine religions. They have shredded the social fabric.
The Yogis of Tibet documentary documents Communist China’s savage suppression of Tibetan Buddhism. Communist China is the best national manifestation of Satanism, and a model for the New World Order.
WHO DO YOU SERVE?
Pessimistic, dear Henry? Religion is the attempt to reconcile mortality with a sense of purpose. It’s like all the post WWI prayers for peace and the desire to understand, if not justify, such hideous carnage. We all know how those prayers were subsequently answered. You as a Jew can certainly understand. After all, you once told me that you brook no “holocaust minimizers.” Let us not forget the prior Inquisition as pain and torture was meted out while “god” stood by and watched such depravity with indifference. Or was it just their God-given “karma” to suffer such a fate, just like the Jews? Inquiring minds want to know. What “god” has need to torture meatbags with indifference?
“It’s not “god” doing that dirty work!”, you say? No, he just lays the groundwork for such despair given that he bequeathed his creation with an obviously flawed operating system. An operating system so flawed and sinful that it took the slow and torturous death of his only begotten son to redeem it. The fundamentals. of that religion of course exclude the Buddhists that you are championing.
“The Norwegian author, Peter Wessel Zapfee, has theorized that humans are born with an overdeveloped skill – self-awareness – that is not needed for survival, and so does not really fit into nature’s design. We humans, Zapfee thought, endowed with this unneeded self-awareness, crave to understand matters such as life and death, but, due to human limitation, that craving cannot be honestly appeased. We know about death but cannot explain it. In other words, nature has given humanity a desire that nature cannot satisfy.”
– depending on no-thing, Robert Saltzman
What if a digital tattoo is forthcoming? What if no man can travel, buy, or sell, without this “mark?” What if this mark is the “mark of the beast” and the fulfillment of scripture? Resistance will be futile, will it not? God forbid a contradiction of “God’s” word. Are you sure that “god’s” word is not just the work of men? What “god” has need of such nefarious activity to “test” his faithful? Would Buddhists even care? Homo narrandus, man the storyteller.

Sure, Henry…we’re all “screwed” without religion.
So after all these years at old age, Henry Makow wants to make a new religion with some duality tenets borrowed from Hinduism and Buddhism?!
“When everyone becomes an instrument of God’s Will, they miraculously align like a snowflake.”
Firstly, God can use evil against evil too, everyone and everything can be “instrument of his will”, so it would be more accurate to say believers must become part of his plan and that can ultimately happen with a divinely appointed leader. All of this makes sense when a religion can explain God properly. In Henry Makow’s religion that he wants to start and it should be 100 words or less, he says: “God wants to know himself through us.”, A very needy and imperfect God who has to process information and make a logical conclusion who he wants to be!!
Instead of “STARTING A RELIGION”, he should first re-attach God to his creation and understand that God is very well capable of starting his own religion! The idea that God has had no active plan essentially means Satan has had open-season all over the world and then what, is he going to fix everything with a few lightnings killing all the bad guys! A cartoon God!
The author like most other people is stock in duality and so naturally feels attracted to eastern religions: Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism. And so he views everything in dual extremes or opposites as is evident in his mentioned principles and tenets of his startup religion; in the Yin & Yang symbol, the only absolute is the “balance between two sides”. So eventually you will ditch good and evil and aim for a middle point in between, or see Satan and God as two equal opposing forces. This will lead to messed up understanding of emotions too. So “mind” is a trap, our self-awareness casts a shadow that fools us.
One of the most overlooked traps of the mind is Logical Separation, you need to see important dual concepts and ditch the false one, Some examples:
1- Heat and Cold – if we define heat as vibration of particles, then it is known that one can’t have anything colder than -273 C or absolute-zero, it seems particles won’t completely stop vibrating! On the other hand you can have as much heat as you want even hotter than the core of a star! So this is one line of existence on which we define a duality that is actually relative, one can feel warm in a room where another feels cold!
2- Light and Dark – if no part of space is empty of electromagnetic radiations, then there is no such a thing as absolute darkness, we simply call dark what is not visible to our eyes. In essence these are relative terms defined again on one line of existence. Light is self-evident and it illuminates other hings, we know dark by first knowing light, because dark is lack of light and not a thing by itself.
3- We can see a similar situation with other concepts such as Absolute and Relative, you could say: “Nothing is absolute!”, but then you would mean that absolutely nothing is absolute. Similarly if you say “everything is relative”, that by itself is an absolute statement. Everything is uncertain! Then that by itself is claimed to be clear and certain! These examples may seem like playing with words, but they reveal just how much monotheism/singularity/unity is seeded in our souls!
So Logic or reasoning be it deductive or inductive, is in the service of “approach” and your “accepted truths/priori/assumptions”. For instance one who believes in the judgment day find it logical to prepare for it. Another example, one who believes in quantum theory find it reasonable to consider electrons as particles.
If you begin by the question from “existence”, then you are concerned with the question: does God exist? You place the needle of compass and draw a circle around the center, everything bows to the center, if you place that center on the concept of “existence” you become a satanist and not a monotheist.
However as explained above some of the famous dual concepts in the mind are traps and so a monotheist should recognize the false side of every duality and also understand that some dual concepts are not pairs to begin with, particularly true in case of emotions, for example to say anger and fear are against one another and we need to be in a state of balance between the two to be able to soundly think otherwise our intellect will be clouded. They just like that equal (=) symbol and want play judge all the time! As it was explained, material emotions can’t coexist and are harmful, however divine and selfless emotions are beneficial and can coexist, yes you can be very angry and at the same time happy. In fact divine love brings fear with it, you can fear God’s power… since however God is just and kind, a better fear is of letting God down! We don’t need to delete our emotions, we need to tune them and purify them. Unlike selfish materialistic ego based emotions that all religions shun, such self-less emotions actually help you think better, they also improve creativity…
One of the Buddhist said in that video that he has no grudge against their enemies, it is their (Chinese) ideology “communism” that is at fault. It is important for them not to hate their enemy. This is a perfect passive kind of religion for the globalist, they have no problems with such people, how can they ever be a threat? I prefer a religion that tells me to be angry at the evil bastards who have ruined humanity and to hate them because God also hates them.

The banker Jews who run the Jew World Order (JWO) had Christianity removed from schools, government, had churches burned, and had Christianity removed from public venues.
The JWO bankers have been poisoning the public mind against Christianity ever since they put their political puppet Woodrow Wilson in office as president by rigging the 1912 election.
As the JWO gradually gained more and more power and influence since 1912, they suppressed Christianity more and more. The JWO has effectively destroyed Christianity at this point.
After the JWO had JFK assassinated with impunity they felt they could get away with anything.
America the beautiful was established by Christians fleeing from being burned at the stake,drawn and quartered, and such torments done to Christians who tried to have freedom of religion.
During its Christian days, America became a wonderful place where people from all over the world tried to immigrate.
By contrast, the places where there was no Christianity were hellish places where cannibalism, extreme poverty, rape, starvation, crime, were all too common.
Not just any old religion works. Devil worship and similar religions using a phony cover name are as bad or worse than the JWO.
Without CHRISTIAN religion we are screwed.
What you really mean is SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE. Religion is a TOOL to keep the MASSES in CHECK for the (SO CALLED) Ruling class.
There is a bit a truth in what all of you say, but the question is whether on not you will go to the cross for what you believe to be the truth and also for God’s will. You all argue is if there is a truth and that you have it, and no doubt some will die for Allah. However, get rid of Christ and you are back to the dualism that Henry recommends, and failing that you are left with relativism and the law of the jungle of might-makes-right which, as history tells us, has been the sate of the world from the beginning, and of all nations except for the brief spells of a few just rulers.
Without the necessity of having to die for the truth if you really want it, it still will take you to places where you would rather not go if you seek it and follow it. Most people kind of know this and that is at least one reason why we seldom debate anything very much anymore. Not very much has to do with truth and the only reality is what people want. The Covid plandemic is a classic example. Most people of all stripes are sucked in, and in my estimation it is mainly because they have put their real faith in their governments mainly through the media whom they also seem to implicitly trust. Not a peep from any virtual pulpit on the internet about the obvious, you will notice. Can’t take on the government or the media can we?
Even though obviously a plandemic with a designer bug killing the frail, the powers that be have ruled that it is “necessary”, and those who are supposed to champion the truth IN THIS WORLD and to be a stumbling block to challenge the ruling bastards, instead they cower in dark of their empty churches. The truth you see, is a very dangerous subject and may cost a great deal.
That despicable lot who run the International Banking Cartel, the Economic Stability Fund out of London and New York, and whatever other cabal is behind them, make up the monster of many heads responsible for all of our wars and for all the graft and crime they permit their network beneath them to commit in doing their bidding. They are Satan’s tools. If not a Christian I would want them all dead right now, but it is because I have that one both human and divine living standard of God’s will and perfect nature that I am prevented from even recommending such. In fact I have to pray for their good and conversion which really goes against my fallen human nature. Maybe some mystic Hindus and Buddhists have the same restraints, but I do not hear or see any movements for the rule of law, universal justice based on the integrity and inviolable rights of individual human beings coming from their quarters.
On one side of the Godless order running things, we have the totalitarian do-gooders making up the entire communist movement which is essentially dialectical materialism. They have math and science and believe we are bound to our material realm, but they really create very little but misery. Their dream of bringing about a materialistic utopia of feigned equality is most easy to achieve in the absence of any real opposition. All they have to do is use their skills in lying, stealth, subversion, mass deception and all manner of subversion and oppression to strip the people of their religious beliefs, family values, and souls, and they are able to stomp out all manner of personal individuality, which they think is the source of human selfishness, and the obstacle to their goal of a homogenized mankind of lock-step automatons. .
Their counterparts on the right, who are equally supported and honored by the ruling potentates, use the exact same means to aspire to the heights of wealth and power, with their inflated egos, bank accounts and self-importance, justifying their deeds in their fragmented minds with slogans like, “Survival of the fittest.”, or “After all, it is a dog-eat-dog world.”.
It is not that they lack the spiritual element. They are most obviously dead souls being controlled by very powerful spiritual elements of the wrong kind. If their consciences are dead then they are likely fragmented persons, and not having Christ in their hearts, all their hopes and dreams are focused on the temporal order devoid of God’s moral restraints, or any eternal purpose.
It is always easy for these types or to accumulate and abuse their wealth and influence in order to seize the reins of power in any nation or organization, mainly because they feel their are not bound by the same moral restraints of fair play as their hosts or those they consider inferior or beneath them. They have a much narrower neighbor principle than most others. That is the history of people trying to be Christian in the West. It is not just people in their midst clawing for tribal or exclusive interests who exploit and walk over the faces of the good-willed, trusting “suckers” in their midst. It is the hypocrites who call themselves Christians who are just as bad endorsing and using these very means.
So I put it to all of you, is there any other religion or belief system that has such self scrutiny and condemnations for constant reform as you find within Christianity with respect to human relations. In there any other voice of from another other faith which could be so bold to say what is so true, real, and so crucial at this time? Indeed, the voice of Christ still cries out to the world as the only real voice of truth.
However, there are many who would say that it is because of the naive trusting and moral restraints on Christians that it is so weak and easy to exploit them, or that the faith must be some Jewish plot to attain world dominance. Yet, why would the Jews want to rub out their own Messiah? Why would the Romans also want to get rid of him? He was dangerous. That is why. He disturbed their consciences and was disrupting their interests and plans. The mob who called out for his death were like those brainwashed by the same kind of authorities as we have today, and the authorities in that time saw him as challenging the highest aspirations of their lives which were wealth, pleasure, power, and importance. Someone preaching the very reversals of their hallowed pursuits, and that he was the truth, their Messiah and the very image of God in their midst, could be ignored. However, the problem was that he was not ignored. He struck the cord of truth in the hearts of too many, and that is why (with his compliance) that they tried to get rid of him. But they didn’t. They only multiplied him.
@Fred B
Thank you for taking the time to explain your viewpoints.
“If not a Christian I would want them all dead right now, but it is because I have that one both human and divine living standard of God’s will and perfect nature that I am prevented from even recommending such.”
Very well, God’s love and mercy predates God’s justice and retribution, however it would be a cartoon God if he had no wrath at all! What is hell for then!? If God didn’t care for humans being oppressed, killed and mislead what would we call him? Surely God is not insensitive. God’s wrath towards evil is mercy towards the oppressed! Why do you view such attributes as unclean and unholy!? Since God’s love and mercy predates his justice and retribution so should he find the sinner’s repentance serious, he would forgive and this would make sense!
As I explained before, selfless emotions make you stronger and more creative and coexist, but selfish ego-based emotions make you weaker and dumb they also don’t coexist.
Why is it that we find selfless anger as a bad thing? Are we to castrate ourselves?! Enemy of God and your enemy must fear you (moral clean fear), they must find firmness and resolve in you. They must think twice before harming an orphan or doing any injustice, what good are you if they (evil enemies) are not afraid of you!?
Which one do you think God prefers?
1- A believer who is very powerful, resourceful, wise but he does not abuse his superiority.
2- A believer who has no balls, backbone and any strength and does not steal! He is a good boy after all!
Another example:
1- A Hindu has castrated himself and so does not commit any sex at all let alone adultery (might be with a Djinn though!)
2- One who can be with 1000 people but only stays with his wife!

No one is exempt from believing. Believing in something…. anything! A set of interconnected beliefs form a belief-system. As we grow-up and gain experience, we also gather beliefs along the way, some of them we come up by ourselves and most of it we pick up from society and mass-media. Religion is a belief-system, you may not have a religion but no one can claim that he has no belief-system, some may seriously reject the idea… but you can drag one by one his beliefs from his life-style! So indeed one practicing a belief-system may not be even aware of it, he has picked them-up watching movies, playing games, reading books, seeing other people, some of them he took willingly as he found them more compatible with his personality and some were enforced on him.
A proper religion MUST empower you and your society, if it miserably fails to do so it is either because it is fake or because it has errors in it!
Any sufficiently advanced human society will end up creating a belief-system or improving a weak one it already has! Liberal-Market-Democracy is a religion, a man-made religion, if you are sensitive to the word religion, we shall call it a belief-system, nothing changes and arguments stand. A liberal-market-democracy that advocates secularism, which is separation of religion from power/politics and so provides freedom of castrated-religion! Indeed you are free as long as your religion/belief-system does not conflict with tenets of Liberal-Market-Democracy; those controlling such a society don’t expect to teach the tenets too much, they simply care for “life-style”…the ideas will settle in people’s hearts and minds!
Now what is belief at its core? What is blind-belief? What is knowledge and what is blind-knowledge? might re-post that again later.

So religion is bad and evil and useless? Very well, what is the fruit of liberalism, secularism, modernism? Bring up a belief-system that can stand against Jewish Religious Supremacy! Or those at the top practicing Satanism.
In fact the same Liberal-Market-Democracy and secularism practiced in western societies is the work of the Jews and Satanist. If you think some pure scientists can lead the world you’d be a fool. The whole science and technology is at the full service of the Jews and Satanists, their understanding of psychology is probably 50 years ahead of what is available in universities! … and now you want us to believe that religion is useless? where did you learn that from? Did you pick it up in a Hollywood movie? They can buy scientists, politicians, scholars, artists and celebrities. Unless a man grabs hold of something to protect him from being a sellout! i.e. a belief-system, a religion! So you attach to Humanism, you try to derive will and strength to fight against the evil bastards at the top!
The problem is, without a PROPER religion no one can fight against the Satanists at the top.
Dude when do you think finally you can free yourselves from the evil masters of the earth? They are almost there even putting a chip in you! …and you still argue that religion is useless?! Your hands are empty man, with what are you going to do anything? Without religion you can’t start a lasting and effective movement if you could you would have already, instead of making a new religion, it is better to revive a sick one! The only religions that can effectively move people are Christianity and Islam. The Hindus and Buddhists and the likes are just doing their best to keep calm, running away from collective-karma, they love their enemies! They will be beheaded calmly like sheep when the masters of the world decide. Passive religions are not going to save you as a people. Passive Christianity and passive Islam have little use. It is easy for people to act civilized when everything is in order! When problems arrive… it will be another story. You will fight one another in famine and you end up weak and shattered and accept whatever they have for you in the end. They always show ONE Superhero going to fix everything.
So let us assume the divinely appointed leader who is a perfect human (Imam of time) takes over command… what then? If a society is not properly trained and prepared to empower its leader, it will be over! Sometimes by a simple political play! and the savior will be martyred along with those closest to him. So as you see God is not going to fix anything magically. If we are to be part of his plan, we have to have certain qualities.
Christians will just wait for the rapture and Muslims will just wait for the Mahdi! And Hindu’s will just keep calm! Once again if God has had no active ongoing plan, it negates God’s power and justice and also it means Satan has had complete open-season in the entire world!
“…surely Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in their hearts…” Quran (13:11)
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Humanity is subjected to an unprecedented amount of confusing knowledge/information, every few hours something new happens… most people have a difficult time deciding what is true and believing in what/who and they simply can’t catch up.
It has now become clearer than ever that ultimately human heart decides which side he/she leans to and is the ultimate chief at the helm of human will. For this reason let us explore the function of human awareness.
“Blind-Knowledge” is a kind of information we know but we can’t understand at all or completely, and what is understanding? It is simply the “ability to see”, be it by our psychical eyes, mentally or by heart. Blind-Knowledge memorized in mind or written on a piece of paper is indistinguishable and the same; it is after all not a living thing and so not only blind but in fact dead too! Blind-Knowledge can be used in a limited way in technical and tactical levels, however the moment we choose to employ/use it we have to “believe” it to a certain degree and what is believing? It is simply “trusting” and “liking”, usually we trust what we like and like what we trust, in fact when we pay attention it is almost the same thing! The act of trusting is like gravitating towards something. So we take in knowledge/information and we try to “see” them. In other words we try to make out a meaningful relationship between each part to discover systems or see patterns, we try to induct or deduct from parts to whole, or from a whole to parts. We do logical reasoning and when we can connect the dots we can see! It is clear that much of the “seeing” is a product of mind and heart and not just the physical sight.
So as humans >>we either see or not see, because we have sight we can direct our attention, so knowing or believing are secondary.<<
Consider the following example:
1- I see it is raining. How? See with my eyes, feel it with my skin, hear the sound, etc…
2- I know it is raining. How? See with my eyes. Someone told me. I heard it in the news, etc…
3- I believe it is raining. How? See with my eyes. Someone I trust told me. I have a gut-feeling it is raining, etc…
Through this simple example we can derive the four possibilities:
1- A knowledge that we can see/understand.
2- A knowledge that we can't see/understand.
3- A belief that we can see/understand.
4- A belief that we can't see/understand.
To free ourselves from playing with words and "Satanic terminology" we need to refine and redefine key concepts. Consider it a kind of etymology and epistemology at an individual level reflecting on the nature of his/her own awareness.
"I know!" – Does it mean I see? Or does it mean I haven't got a clue but I have memorized it like an old tape-recorder!?
It becomes clear that as long as by "knowing" we do not imply "seeing", it has very little value just like that piece of paper containing information, to the contrary when we "believe" we are not just memorizing we are "trusting" or gravitating towards something! Therefore the main human function after the ability to see should be defined as "believing" because it is like a vector with a direction, it has motivation and motion in it, in short it has life.
Blind-knowledge is not useless though, imagine 3 different methods to handle an alien device written on 3 pieces of paper. One is saying push that particular button then wait for this many seconds and then pull that lever after a beep… etc… each paper has different instructions. If we assume only one makes the device work… we have to trust one of them before being able to use it and this shows that blind-knowledge is actually blindly-believing because as long as we pay no attention to it and not trust it, it is indistinguishable weather this information is in our minds or written on a piece of paper even if we assume there is intrinsic value in the correct one.
Blind-belief has been bashed and ridiculed by many, yet the following example shows that anything but blind-belief would be a critical and irrational error. In fact we use blind-believing regularly:
You are sick, two of your close friends tell you to go see some particular doctor that they vouch for, there is also a certificate on the wall behind this doctor and he tells you to take such and such medicine and avoid a few things to get better. So you blindly-believe the doctor and do as he says and use his knowledge blindly. If you don't, you have only one option and that is to spend many years and study the field to "see" for yourself! By the time though your immediate illness may have long killed you! Therefore blindly-believing here is a logical stance and not doing so would be irrational.
Another example: You know that zombies don't exist but you still wouldn't stay the night next to a dead body! Why? because you don't believe! blind-Knowledge is not enough! However believing whether blindly or with clarity will move you!
Now that we have logically got rid of "knowledge" we have the following possibilities, and it is important which comes first so we need to study all 6 of them:
1- We see and then believe. (what scientists and perhaps atheists say though only with the physical eye! Many believers would say the same but with inner sight)
2- We see and then don't believe. (can only make sense when subject doubts his own sight, i.e. electron is a particle or wave?)
3- We don't see and then don't believe. (this one doesn't make sense and can be crossed out, if we remove the word "then" it would be describing inanimate and lifeless objects)
4- We don't see and believe. (Blind-belief that we explained, it can be good or bad depending on the context and situation, essential human motive to believe at least temporarily in search of any truth)
5- We believe and then see. (The promise of religion!)
6- We believe and then don't see. (going astray!)
Among these options, the third one is what any healthy human does in search of truth at least temporarily until truth is confirmed. The jewel of all of this is the fifth one! It implies that one can decide willingly to believe and act upon it in the hope or promise that he will eventually see, this requires a good level of trust and love for the source of the information to be believed! Due to complexities of many things, people who demand seeing in cash!! and are not willing to develop the conditions and attributes prerequisite for deeper truths are in fact stubborn morons! For example Children of Israel (original Jews) demanded various miracles from their prophets, in case of Moses(ع) even after crossing the red sea by a passage through water and other miracles… even so still they didn't believe! We can further expand this by delving into the false perceived battle between heart and mind or love and logic and the relation between action and love however that would for another time.
Conclusion:
Knowledge is just some messed up term in the middle to confuse us, as it was explained the word knowledge can easily be replaced with the word information be it with intrinsic value for being true or not.
