In my view, the current state of affairs in this world is governed by a group of individuals who either adhere to man-made religions, cosmolatry, philosophy, theology or witchcraft.
Over two centuries of Christianity and the sacred priesthood had been eroded, replaced by a hierarchical structure that has been entangled in political matters ever since. The authentic message of Christ cannot be gleaned from the pulpit rhetoric of zealous priests or from mere mortals who purport to offer salvation from a purgatory absent from scripture, for only God himself holds the power to redeem souls.
Gone are the days of individual communion with the divine, replaced instead by the harsh suppression of dissent by the established Roman Catholic Church of the time, which resorted to violence against those who dared question its authority. The merging of church and state has resulted in a system designed to regulate the lives of the populace, orchestrated by the well-coordinated machinery in collusion with banking dynasties from Europe and America.
Since when did Jesus require a banker?
During the time of Christ's earliest followers, there were no consecrated priests, no elaborate temples, and certainly no attempts to exploit Divine powers for personal benefit.
In our world, religious devotees often dedicate themselves to studying a pantheon of gods, seeking favor from them for personal gain. However, this pursuit of Divine favor raises questions about its true nature and their morality.
The Roman Catholic Church's hypocrisy was revealed when they silenced Galileo for studying celestial bodies like the moons of Jupiter, Venus, and the sun, contradicting the false doctrine they preached to the masses.
Galileo's astronomical observations in 1610 unveiled significant revelations about celestial bodies, particularly in regard to Jupiter's moons, Venus's phases, and sunspots. Through meticulous scrutiny with his telescope, Galileo identified the four largest moons of Jupiter, now known as the Galilean moons—Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.
Furthermore, Galileo's scrutiny of Venus unveiled a phenomenon akin to lunar phases, indicating its orbital dynamics around the sun rather than the Earth. This observation further validated the heliocentric model, affirming Venus's placement in the solar system's hierarchy.
(Remember the Queen of Heaven Ishtar, Venus in Rome).
Ironically the Vatican Observatory, also known as Specola Vaticana in Italian, has a rich history as one of the oldest astronomical research institutions globally. Back in 1582, Pope Gregory XIII established it as part of calendar reforms, aiming to accurately calculate dates like Easter and other pagan events.
Despite incorporating elements such as obelisks, sun discs, burning incense, the presence of Christ in freshly baked bread, and pagan traditions and rituals, they persist in asserting their adherence to the genuine gospel of Christ.
Then we have those who value logic above faith.
Philosophy is the study of fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, ethics, reason, mind, and language. It seeks to understand the nature of reality, the principles of reasoning, and the foundations of moral and ethical behavior. Philosophers employ critical thinking, logical analysis, and conceptual clarity to explore these questions and develop coherent theories about the nature of the universe and human existence. Philosophy encompasses various branches, including metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, and logic, each addressing different aspects of reality and human experience.
Theology, on the other hand, is the study of the Divine, religious beliefs, and the nature of the Divine realm. It focuses on the examination of religious texts, traditions, doctrines, and practices, seeking to understand the nature of God, the meaning of existence, and humanity's relationship with the divine. Theology often involves interpreting sacred scriptures, exploring theological doctrines, and engaging in philosophical reflection on religious concepts and beliefs. Theology encompasses a wide range of religious traditions, including Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and others, each with its own theological perspectives and interpretations.
Numerous popes and politicians throughout history have studied philosophy and theology, as these disciplines provide valuable insights into ethics, morality, governance, and the nature of human existence. While it is difficult to provide an exact number, many leaders have pursued formal education in philosophy and theology, either as part of their academic training or as a personal interest.
In the Catholic Church, for example, the majority of popes have received theological education, as theological knowledge is considered essential for guiding the Church and interpreting its teachings. Many popes have also engaged with philosophical ideas, drawing on philosophical principles to inform their theological views and ethical decisions.
Similarly, numerous politicians and world leaders have studied philosophy and theology, recognizing the importance of these disciplines in shaping their worldview and guiding their actions. Philosophy provides a foundation for critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and political theory, while theology offers insights into moral values, social justice, and the role of religion in society.
While not all leaders may have formal training in philosophy and theology, many have been influenced by philosophical and theological ideas through their cultural upbringing, religious background, or intellectual interests. Ultimately, the study of philosophy and theology can help leaders develop a deeper understanding of the human condition, ethical principles, and the complexities of governing in a diverse and interconnected world.
Note that all these are teachings of mere flesh and blood humans.
There are also those who engage in esoteric magic in their secret societies, Satanism, and the occult, conducting occasional sacrifices, manipulating universal energy, crafting talismans, and ensnaring individuals for their own selfish desires, control, greed, and dominance. Men and women, convinced of their mastery of arcane knowledge, the veneration of celestial bodies, and their perceived enlightenment, regard themselves as deities wielding supreme authority over the populace. Rejecting the notion of a Divine creator's guidance, they instead assert their own will.
We find ourselves oppressed (some more than others) by these megalomaniacs, whether through their false doctrines, political maneuvers, interpretations, egos or sorcery, and until we awaken to our true identity and remember who we are, and return to source through Christ, we are at the mercy of these power hungry narcissists.
"Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's." Matthew, 22:21
It's a sobering realization that both Satan and humanity shared the hubris to challenge God's authority, believing ourselves greater than the Divine Creator. The consequences are evident in the turmoil of our world, where ego-driven actions overshadow the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Instead of righteousness, we see grievous sins like pedophilia, and covert homosexuality in the church and the insatiable greed that spawns various evils.
Reflect on the profound impact of these mere mortals' egos and insatiable lust for power, as depicted in my artwork, and consider the devastation their actions have wrought upon both humanity and the world.

A Dark Ode
In the depths of night where shadows creep,
Lies a world where secrets seethe and sleep.
Politicians dance with clergy in sin,
Their twisted souls lost in a web so thin.
Witchcraft's whispers echo in the gloom,
As ego blooms and seals their doom.
Perversions writhe, corruption thrives,
Innocence devoured by their conniving knives.
Evil's hand guides their every move,
As greed consumes and hearts disprove.
Lust and corruption, their unholy creed,
Innocence lost, on their altar they feed.
Covertness shrouds their nefarious game,
But in the dark, they find no shame.
Their souls blackened, their deeds undone,
In the end, they'll reap what they have spun.
