Behind the fabrication of their myth, is hidden a pervert secret how to manipulate and enslave the human mind and body.
The Hindus were (as far as we today know) the first to have fabricated the notion of the soul, as a derivative of the re-incarnation. It was the answer to the question, what happens when we die. Since the body was incinerated and there was nothing left of it, there should be something else indestructible that could give a hope for an after-life, or the return to the visible world.
That dogma was instilled in the mind of the gullible sheeple as part of their life that had to be guided by some “rules” imposed of course by the hierophants who were the “intermediators” between the sheeple and the gods. The trap was set-up. The sheeple had to blindly follow certain rules if they wanted to gain Paradise or the re-incarnation. And this means was the soul.
But the soul needed another excuse to remain pure in order to go to heaven. And then the sin was invented, which was nothing more than the deviation from the regulations of the priesthood that fabricated the gods with their judgement, and the condemnation of the mortals to eternal hell or heaven.
As Plato and Epicurious argued, “The percentage of the idiots in the society is colossal. In order to control these idiots, you (the ruler, the smarter one) should fabricate a religion with an omnipotent and omniscient god, hell and paradise, punishment and reward. Keep on telling this fairy-tale to the idiots, but you (the ruler) should live in an exemplary humility”. Epicurus went even further avoiding to give any solution saying “there is no way to cope with all these idiots, go to your garden and till your vegetables away of sorrows”.
This sin, however, had to be accompanied by a compulsive guilt that would consume and dominate the mind and the soul of the sheeple, preventing them from thinking rationally. This pervert doctrine had to begin from the moment of birth and to remain until death with the only redemption to be, the complete submission that could even go as far as to the self-flagellation, voluntary castration or even suicide, in order the soul to remain “pure”. We see this in the Hebrew-Christian (but also Islamic) accounts throughout the extent of the “brainwashing” (Keep on telling this fairy-tale to the Plato’s idiots) in the psalm,
Psalm 51:5, “Behold, I was shaped in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me
A Hindu allegory of the fall of the soul from its abode from heaven to earth, became a pervert doctrine, to justify the other pervert dogma, that of the “redeemer”. If there was no Fall of the protoplasts, there was no need of a redeemer. Besides, the Jewish allegory of the “dressing the protoplasts in animal skins” to cover their nakedness (I wonder why, it didn’t bother them before?) insinuated the embodiment of the souls on earth in a human body. Unless, the gods were butchers, skinning animals to dress the protoplasts.
Pythagoras: The soul is a demon (a deity) imprisoned in a human body. Once, the soul lived among the gods, now it is condemned to watch the world behind its prison’s bars (the human body).
Francis Turretin In his Institutes, II, pages 418-419 section called “The Necessity of the Satisfaction,” he wrote the following:
Sin, which renders us guilty, binds us over to punishment as hated of God. It [sin] may be viewed 1) as a debt which we are bound to pay to divine justice, in which sense the law is called “a hand-writing,” (Col 2:14) 2) as a principle of enmity, whereby we hate God and he becomes our enemy: 3) as a crime against the government of the universe by which, before God, the supreme governor and judge, we become deserving of everlasting death and malediction.
Whence, sinners are expressly called 1) “debtors,” (Matt. 6:12); 2) “enemies to God,” both actively and passively, (Col. 1:21); 3) “and guilty before God,” (Rom. 3:19.) We, therefore, infer that three things were necessary in order to our redemption; the payment of the debt contracted by sin, the appeasing of the divine wrath, and the expiation of guilt.
Epictetus said, “People are not disturbed by the events themselves, but by the concepts they keep in mind for them”.
The Gnostics according to Irenaeus (Against Heresy 1.25.4) teach that “an action is good or bad only according to human conventions”.
In the Gospel of Magdalene, we read the same concept copied from the Greek Skeptics: “What is the sin of the world? The teacher replied: There is no sin. You are those who make sin happen when you act according to your nature’s habits”.
Besides, what is a sin, rather than what we individually mean to be?
