Nationalism feeds global tyranny! The elites who speak different languages and wave different flags are all posturing in order to divide the people they should be serving. Don't be duped. Those clamoring for a new world order at the WEF and WHO etc. are deceiving anyone who thinks they are against nationalism and therefore we must embrace nationalism in order to survive. The opposite is true. Actually these mouthpieces work for elite hidden forces pulling the strings of nationalism. They are the enemies of common humanity, a humanity that transcends artificial borders of nation-states. Don't let your attachment to cultural difference blind you to the fact that cultural difference can prosper in a world without fake nation-states...from Let's Burn the Flags of All Nations: "Nationalism is a dead-end / The nation-state is a criminal enterprise / Patriotism is a trick / For as long as we identify with nation-states / We know ourselves only by what we oppose / Not by who we are / And who are we / For a few years we're alive on this planet / Same heart, same mind same eyes..."

Hi Paul. Thank you for another excellent essay.

I can honestly and truthfully confess “I am a disciple of the Messiah of the Hebrews” without saying that I have faith in Christianity (or Judaism) and without calling myself a Christian (or a Jew). As for the Hebrew Messiah, I’m pretty sure that his given name wasn’t Jesus. That’s a name that has come down to us in English from a Greek translation of the Messiah’s Hebrew name.

Instead of nationalism, I believe that humans need to learn to practice a form of political spirituality in much smaller groups than churches (whether local & independent or international) or countries or even small communities. I believe that politics divorced from spirituality is as impotent as spirituality divorced from politics. I recently read about this book -- “Love & Revolution: Creating Conscious Tribes” by Mark El Activista Místico -- on winter oak, and maybe even it was you who referenced this book.

I believe that the formation of conscious tribes could be made most effective by incorporating into these tribes the worship of the God of the Messiah of the Hebrews. I believe that there is an undying desire within the human soul for LOYALTY to a sovereign. I kindly suggest that the greatest of all sovereigns is this God, who seeks those who strongly desire (of our own free will and agency) to worship this God in spirit and in truth.

As for this global tyranny and criminocracy all humans are struggling against -- with the exception of the tyrants and the criminals running the organization -- you wrote the essay “The Mortal God Drops Its Mask”. I don’t believe that we humans can defeat this Mortal God without the assistance of the God of the Messiah of the Hebrews.
