Religion’s role in upholding poverty
Do you see, my beloved, that many religions on this Earth have been
elitist in nature and in practice? They have brought forth an elitist
doctrine that has maintained a status quo that allowed a small elite
to have an ungodly control over the majority of the population, thereby
being able to have privileges for themselves – such as great
wealth – because they took the wealth and the abundance from
the people, keeping the people at an artificial level of poverty.
This, my beloved, is no more clearly demonstrated in recent history
than by the Catholic Church during the Middle Ages, where I must tell
you – as we already
said in England – that without the Catholic Church and its
doctrines, the feudal system would not have spread in Europe, would
not have been able to survive for as long as it did. It was the Catholic
doctrines which were a total perversion of Jesus' true teachings,
where he said "Inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of
these, my little ones, you have done it unto me." And had the
Catholic Church been faithful to that teaching, it would not have
supported the elitist system. But because it perverted the teachings
of Christ in many ways, it did indeed support an elitist system that
allowed the feudal lords and the kings to remain in control of the
population, keeping the population as virtual slaves for centuries.
And thus, my beloved, what was the core of the Catholic doctrines
that supported poverty? It was that certain conditions on Earth were
the result of the will of God, including the condition that a small
elite would rule, even that a small elite of clergy and the Pope were
controlling whether the people could have their sins remitted and
enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Again, a total perversion of the teachings
of Christ who said, "The Kingdom of God is within you,"
meaning that you do not need an institution and its clergy in order
to enter that inner kingdom.
For, my beloved, how could the Pope take you by the hand and lead
you to the kingdom that is within YOU. This, of course, is ridiculous.
But it was not ridiculous to the people of the Middle Ages who had
grown up being indoctrinated and programmed that this was the absolute
truth and that they would go to hell if they dared question the authority
of the Pope and the Catholic Church and its doctrines.
So do you see, my beloved, what was it that set the condition for
the physical manifestation of poverty? Well it was the spiritual poverty
that was brought on by the Catholic Church perverting the teachings
of Christ!
And thus, my beloved, you might look to South America, where the Catholic
Church is still strong in many nations, and realize that for poverty
to be overcome in South America, well then the people must dare to
question the Catholic Church and its doctrines, especially those which
are out of alignment with the true teachings of Christ. And why do
you think it is important for us to get the translation of The
Christ is Born in You out to the people? Well, this is precisely
why. For otherwise how shall they learn that there is a difference
between the true teachings of Christ and the outer doctrines of the
Catholic Church?
So, my beloved, consider this—that throughout the Dark Ages,
going into the modern age, there has been this subtle programming
by the forces of anti-christ – even using the religion that
claims to represent Christ on Earth – to hammer into the collective
consciousness that poverty is the will of God, that it is the will
of God that some people are more powerful and more rich than others,
and that the majority of the population should simply accept their
lot and not try to rock the boat, and not try to demand something.
Because after all, my beloved, what is the will of God [according
to the Catholic Church]? Well it is that all people ascend to heaven
after this lifetime, and so people have been programmed to not look
at the now, and not look at the situation on Earth and say, "This
is not right! This is not acceptable. We want change!" No, they
have been programmed to be passive about conditions on Earth and say,
"Oh we will just be good Christians, and not rock the boat so
that we can be resurrected and be raised to heaven after we leave
this physical octave."
Well, my beloved, can you see that this is a very subtle and very
effective way to pacify the people, so that they will not work for
changes in the physical octave. Because they believe that they just
need to be good Christians and wait for the changes in the next world,
and thereby leave this world to the forces of anti-christ who have
set themselves up to be the undisputed rulers of this world. And can
you see, my beloved, that as long as that programming is allowed to
continue unquestioned, well then there cannot be a dramatic shift
in the collective consciousness?
And thus, you see that it has been the goal of the forces of anti-christ
to use a perversion of the teachings of Christ to deprive the people
of their will, their willpower to stand up and say, "Enough is
enough! We demand that this planet Earth should be an outpicturing
of the truth of God, so that the Kingdom of God can be manifest here
below as it is already manifest above. And we demand that this society
of ours be an outpicturing of the true teachings of Christ who said
'I am come that all might have life and that they may have it more
abundantly.'"
And so, you see that religion is the one factor, the perversion of
the Father aspect, that has programmed the people to sap their will,
to take away their willpower, so they will not stand up to the elite
and demand that poverty be eradicated.
