There have been countless religions upon this earth. Countless, no doubt, lost to time. Many more labeled as false religions, false faiths. Christianity has become synonymous with religion, though its variant, Islam, and Buddhism still remain.
No matter the religion, from Paganism to Christianity to leftism today, I believe at a certain point in history, these religions found themselves favored by God. Those that consciously or unconsciously followed the way of God found themselves loved by God.
When they lost the path, they lost the love of God. Their fortunes turned for the worse.
Did these races forget the true worship of God? Had these rites been lost to the ensuing generations? Had these peoples gotten soft and comfortable in their supremacy? Perhaps, these races were used and discarded by God for some unknown purpose.
Do not assume you know the purpose of God. His nature very well may be a dark nature. We do not and cannot know what He wants. We know ONLY what He selects for in nature.
Thou shalt follow the law of nature and of nature’s God.
What of the TRUE WORSHIP?
Nature’s God. The ALMIGHTY. The Sky Father. He has been known by many names throughout history.
Many of the old faiths will combat this assertion that they worshipped the same God as the rival faiths. How could you compare Grek Paganism to Christianity? It is much easier than you would first think.
Take for example, the hierarchy of heaven. In both, God sits on the throne. We accuse the ancient Pagans of worshipping many Gods, but it was commonly believed that ZEUS was more powerful than all the other gods combined.
Homer says as much in the Iliad. Are not the other Olympians like the angels in the Bible? They carry out the will of the Father, ever dutiful to his will.
It could be no other way. Christianity could not convert the world without changing its nature. Something like the knightly orders created during the Crusades were not the invention of Christianity, but a carry over of the Germanic mannerbund — as the priesthood could not stop the WILL of the German to seek out war and danger. It could only redirect that Teutonic spirit.
When we speak about the true worship, it’s worth reminding what the old worship was. The old worship were the ancestor cults. Ancient peoples worshipped their great men and family members who passed.
It was believed that these ancestors did not go far from their graves. They wandered the lands of their descendants. They had to be honored and fed by those descendants. Failure to do this caused the phenomenon we know as ghost stories. Angry spirits haunted their relatives who had forgotten the proper worship.
Religion was decentralized. Each family had their own domestic faith that was unknown to all, but the family itself. The father, the PATRIARCH, of the family was seen as its high priest.
The patriarch was seen as the steward of his bloodline while he lived. It was his duty to leave behind sons. To make sure that the eldest son learned the family’s secret rites and would carry on the faith after the patriarch passed.
In addition to worshiping the ancestors — whom the family believed would aid and give them power — they also worshipped the hearth fire as a god. It was before the hearth that the secret rites were carried out.
It takes no imagination to know why the ancients worshipped the hearth fire. What was discovery of fire to mankind? It was perhaps our greatest discovery as a species.
Control of fire gave man supremacy over the earth. No other species was able to contend with such power. How do you think the ancients thought about such an event?
You need only to read the Grek tale about the discovery of fire. Fire was stolen from Zeus by the Titan, Prometheus. For this terrible crime, Prometheus was bound and made to have his liver eaten out by an eagle every single day for the rest of eternity.
The ancients saw this as, according to Nietzsche, “the plundering of divine nature.” The stealing of fire for the Greks was parallel to the Christian myth of the fall. Is this another coincidence?
Now while the Pagan priests and elders may have seen the harnessing of fire as a sin against nature, what do you think ancient man thought about fire?
Fire was what kept him alive. It kept him warm in the worst of elements. More than that, imagine being the son of the first man to discover fire. That son’s father lived on in the flame. His father kept him warm, kept him alive even after his death.
During these times, there were few to no written records. Knowledge was passed down from one generation to the next by rites and traditions. By culture and religion.
The teaching of fire, from father to son, must have had the similar impact as it did on the son of the first man to discover fire. This is why the hearth fire became sacred for the ancients.
It’s important to remember that no religion has stayed true to the Golden Path of God. Each religion has lost his favor, which is why I speak to the old worship. There is something there, something vital to the human experience.
