The giver's own thought should carry the meaning and reward of true sacrifice. Our belief that the love of possessions is a weakness to be overcome. Its appeal is to the material part, if allowed its will in time disturb the spiritual balance of the man likely to come from an enemy with a smiling face than one whose countenance exudes suspicion and hate. In the Huxleyan prophecy, Big Brother does not watch us by his choice. We watch him by ours. There's no need for wardens or gates or ministries of truth when in short people become an audience and their public business a vaudeville act.
Much of what you say is wise and insightful. But I highly recommend you reword this without the Judea/Christian allegories. But clearly if you understand the import of what you are saying, you have a mystical mind and likely see the world in much more depth than others. Ultimately, to experience what you are saying, you have to let it go.
By asking me to avoid mentioning Judaism or its influence, you're essentially requesting that I disregard one side of a coin that is just as important as the other. It’s not possible to explore these topics without acknowledging both the exoteric (outer) and esoteric (inner) aspects of religion, as they are interdependent. The mysticism (esoteric) defines and deepens understanding, but it must be compared to the outer, more visible teachings (exoteric). These two sides form a whole that cannot be divided without losing its meaning. Moreover, Judaism is not just one tradition among many; it is deeply connected to the foundation of several major religions, including Christianity and Islam. You can’t reduce the significance of these intertwined traditions without oversimplifying the bigger picture. What you’re asking is akin to looking at only one side of a two-dimensional object without considering the depth or complexity that exists on the other side. Both sides are essential for a full understanding, and to dismiss one would be to deny the rich, interconnected fabric of religious thought. In short, I cannot ignore or disacknowledge such a key component of the religious and philosophical framework. The esoteric and exoteric are part of the same whole, and separating them, as you suggest, would be illogical. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with me. I understand where you're coming from, and I appreciate your perspective. It’s clear that you're engaging with these ideas thoughtfully, and I respect that. My intention isn’t to disregard anyone’s beliefs, but rather to share what I’ve learned from studying various traditions and philosophies. I believe that open discussion is how we grow and understand each other better, even when our viewpoints differ. I hope this message provides some clarity and insight into my reasoning. Again, I appreciate you engaging with the content, and I wish you all the best on your own journey of understanding.
