Friday:
Are temples sacred? | August 29, 2025

Verily, according to many metaphysical traditions of the World—such as Islam, Christendom, Judaism, Buddhism, and Hindustani Paganism—the temple, usually a building, represents the creators all of ours Jehovah's representative on Earth, and that representative is usually a priest, an imam, a rabbi, or a monk of some sort, but these people are in my view merely men of ascendant rank, they do not represent the creator more than any man or indeed any sentient life, but the temple can be said to be the material representation of the sacred, the holy, and the divine, and as such many temples are exquisitely beautiful, such as churches and many mosques. There are indeed also certain sects of metaphysical traditions that hold that the temple is not sacred, nor does it represent a Connection with God, and this can sometimes be construed to be the case with the new testament in the Bible: where Jesus of Nazareth proclaimed that the church, the synagogue in those times, where within him and within you, and that is really the soul or the divinely within all of us: this is the nature of the transcendent, it exists within everyone. So while I don't Believe that a temple in and of itself can be said to be sacred it can showcase the truly sacred and divine within man: the temple is a symbol and therefore I don't Believe that it would be contrary to the Words of Messiah to erect a temple in his and his creator all of our Jehovah's name. When man holds a building, a temple, to be sacred he loses his sight of the truly sacred and he again allows the serpent to pull a trick on him: the temple is merely material and if a man falls of the material qualities of the temple he will not see the sacred and the divine, and consequently he will lose the sense of his own divinity, which invariably will pull him down to the level of the beast. Of course, some people that have been demon possessed and proclaim themselves to be apostles of Satan (the forces of Kali) will degenerate and desecrate temples, but in doing that, in destroying the temple, these people show that they are agents of chaos and disorder and they have been hijacked by the serpent and his malign influences over the Earth. But do remember that the serpent is not evil: the serpent is the consequence of evil, he grows with evil and every beastly intention, for the serpent serves the divinely inspired purpose of the wrath, the creators divine vengeance, vengeance for the original sin and all sins that followed. While I call for discipline, I need to make it clear that discipline has nothing to do with the colloquial usage of that word: discipline in this context refers merely to man's ability to guard against demons, sin and temptation and if man allows the temple to become his spiritual refuge in the material world, he must keep in mind that the temple is merely an object: it is not the object that is representative of spiritual refuge, it is the nature of the object that represents spiritual refuge and if man can see that he can also become enabled to embrace the righteous path: the divinely ordained way, a way that modern man has left, and indeed left a long time ago. Therefore, it can be crude to say that the temple represents the spiritual and moral decline of this our era of the Kali Yuga. I must admit this: that I don't see the problem with a man that seeks refuge in his temple, that is all good and indeed spiritually giving and inspiring, but many people simply fall for the architectural and quantitative aspects of the building, the material. Any man of profound and sincere conviction should not care about the material aspects of the temple; he should fall in love with the divinely within the temple, the nature of the temple. I Believe that the comparison between self-love, modern man's idolatry, is good in this context, for it shows that many men who claim to be of righteous conviction are no such thing indeed, for they have fallen in love with the grand cathedral, not the sacred, God's intention and love for his Creation, and many of those men are false prophets whose principles and teachings are false and rooted in the humanist axiom when they superimpose their values on the sacred, blasphemy indeed.

When then, is it proper to stand in awe of a temple, if ever? As I stated: it is perfectly good for a man to be inspired by the temple, but it should be the nature of the temple that should inspire man, not the material artifacts inherit in its constitution: this is the fundamental claim of the humanist axiom, that the value of an object, sentient or not, should stand in proportion to its colloquially perceived greatness, the worship of the material and the beastly within the material. There are many sects within the great metaphysical traditions such as Christendom in particular that make great distinctions between temples: such as prairie churches, small Cathedrals, great Cathedrals, and grand Cathedrals, but if the proponents of this form of Christianity are to be taken seriously then one must admit that it isn't the divine and the sacred that these people are worshiping, but rather the material, for they are not moved by the spirit of Christ, they are moved by the serpent and the material, yet they claim to speak on behalf of the creator our Jehovah. Are these people knowingly false prophets? No they, like most modern men know not of what they speak and what they claim, and surely they are preaching some part of the divine and to that extent they are not false prophets, but one can say that they stand in confusion, not in awe of the creator. Men seek guidance and knowledge, they yearn for the profound and the insightful and a grand Cathedral or any other temple may provide a great emotional relief and indeed this was the intention when the first temples arose a very distant time ago and while that original intention was good, it much like the rest of the World has decayed and become corrupted with notions of "peace", brotherly "love", and "acceptance", all in order to advance the agenda of the beast and uphold the humanist axiom above man and the Earth. What is progress as it pertains to the temple? Nothing, there is no progress, there's only Death, disease, decay, and corruption!

    What has been made of modern temples is a confluence of spiritual quackery and modern dogma: a great bastard has been erected in the Place of the holy, the divine, the spiritual, and the pure. The grand Cathedral of the 21st-century teaches us that we should seek love and acceptance, not for our efforts but for our sins: we are made to believe that it is the sin that should be the object of worship, and subsequently this late state of decomposition has been imposed on all of us, and has to be taken as a sign of this our era of the Kali Yuga. If you regard yourself as a man of ascendant rank and if you have remained pure and good in your conscience they you must not fear, and even if you are a sinner and you are moved by the rhythms of temptation you must not fear, for you can repent and turn away from your demonic and evil convictions, for you are not acting out of will, you have been placed under the manipulation, the malign influences, of the serpent, and for this you may repent by turning to the pure, the sacred, and the divine. This is why the temple exists: to call on man to seek out the light, the source, both within himself and within the Creation. Depart the material domain! Further I want to continue to call on all far-seeing men to embrace celibacy and moral purity, for this will indeed and has indeed done you good; it protects you from the disease, the decay, the corruption, and the inevitable death of sin.
