The Legend of Lilith: The Origins of Evil and the Fall of Man True spirituality must teach us to look within and recognize the image of the Creator within us. True spirituality is not learning from books and doing commandments (mitzvoth) by rote; rather it is an awakening within the soul of a person and the discovery of internal knowledge. True spirituality leads us to recognize the inherent, internal and universal reality within. True spirituality explores these internal truths and does not fear the unknown, but rather experiences life in its fullness. True spirituality builds bridges between human beings instead of burning them. Mankind can work together to discover the hidden wonders of creation and using them for the betterment of mankind instead of using them to destroy each other. We can learn to overcome our differences and learn to live in peace in spite of them. There is not a single Hebrew word in the Torah for the word, term, or concept of “religion”. If there is no Hebrew word in the Torah for religion, then it must be that there is no concept of religion before the Creator, the author of the Torah. If there is no mention of religion in the Torah then there can be anything religious about observing the commandments (mitzvoth). They are spiritual and help lead us into true spirituality. Spirituality is not some flaky New Age teaching. Man has the desire to seek for meaning and purpose. It is a craving that is just as strong as hunger and the desire for sex. Just as most religious institutions actually demean or even repress the desire for sex; these same institutions repress man’s hunger for meaning. This has led man to a wide range of pathological psychological and emotional states that has brought mankind to the brink of sociological disasters. Remember, religion is all about control and power. Religion is not what you say, but what you do. The strong always pick on the weak. The strong see their way as right and all others as wrong. Thus, there is always conflict as the strong define the terms of right and wrong and good and evil. If religion has the power, then it also controls the wealth of a society. Greed or the love of money is a disease of fear. Out of fear of losing their control, religious institutions accumulate material goods, money, power, conquests, and other tangible materials. It is this same fear, which is spawned from greed, which drives these same institutions to control the flow of information that the individual member of that religious society receives or studies. Out of religious fear many teachers want to censor or discourage what has been researched and taught concerning this legendary “creature” called Lilith because they are afraid of individual intellectual growth and personal spiritual knowledge. It is the hallmark of many dying organizations and societies and the fears of a controlling priesthood who struggle against the evolution of thought in hopes of retaining control over the masses who want to be serious students of the Torah/Scriptures. Censorship 17 is the tool of corruption and is part and parcel of religions that work to elevate the few over the many, creating an elite priesthood that shapes the thoughts and actions of their followers 18 . 17 Censorship is the regulation, first decreed by the Church and then carried out either by that institution or by the state, whereby books were examined for the purpose of ascertaining whether they contained heretical or other objectionable passages. Upon this examination depended the conditions under which a book might be used or printed, or its condemnation. If a book was unconditionally rejected, it was laid under the ban, and all copies that could be found were destroyed. If a book was authorized conditionally, all the words and passages that the authorities found objectionable had to be expunged, being either omitted entirely in works that were about to be printed, or rendered illegible in those that had already been set up. 18 The Hebrew Scriptures originally contained books like: The Book of Yasher, The Book of the Wars of YHWH, The Book of the Generations of Adam, The Book of YHWH, and the Cities of Canaan. Bemidbar 21:14,Bereshith 5:1, Yeshayahu 34:16,Yehoshua 10:13, 18:9, and 2 Shemuel 1:18 14
The Legend of Lilith: The Origins of Evil and the Fall of Man Religion is largely a control issue as orthodox religion is all about control of the masses 19 . Free thinking is discouraged and threatened with censorship because of political and religious correctness. 20 Recently, even one Nazarene Yisrael rabbi placed free-thinking on the list of the “tools of the devil”. In their desire to control their “flock”, the reality is that they are stunting the spiritual growth and evolution of students of the Scriptures. • Matt. 23:15 `Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye go round the sea and the dry land to make one proselyte, and whenever it may happen--ye make him a son of Gehenna twofold more than yourselves. Ché Guevara underlined that the duty of all real, true revolutionaries, "is to make the revolution", to act (práxis) and to think it. In time, this implies also to warn the people about mortal ideological dangers, no matter how delicate they may be, even touching "forbidden subjects" and "sacred cows". My personal experience indicates that sacred cows make the best ground beef! • "We have the mistaken idea that there is a certain exact description of what we see at any given moment." –Wittgenstein • “There lives more faith in honest doubt, believe me, than in half the creeds.” Alfred Tennyson Religion 21 has played an essential role in placating the masses. Before reading became popular, people went to their religious leaders and were told what was right and wrong and read to them selected text to confirm their assertions. The rulers made sure to keep close tabs on the religious leaders and rewarded and punished them according to the messages and influence they pushed on their congregations. If this sounds familiar, it should. This method continues to be used today. 19 Karl Marx, the principle founder of Communism, once called religion “the opiate of the masses.” Like opium, religion has a way of comforting the user with a sense of euphoria while simultaneously impairing the user’s ability to reason. 20 Jeremiah 44:15: Then all the men who knew that their wives had burned incense to other elohim, with all the women who stood by, a great multitude, and all the people who dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying: 16 "As for the word that you have spoken to us in the name of YHWH, we will not listen to you! 17 But we will certainly do whatever has gone out of our own mouth, to burn incense to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. For then we had plenty of food, were well-off, and saw no trouble. 18 But since we stopped burning incense to the queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked everything and have been consumed by the sword and by famine." 19 The women also said, "And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, did we make cakes for her, to worship her, and pour out drink offerings to her without our husbands' permission!?" {New King James translation}(Note on the Hebrew text: in an interesting example of censorship, the Masoretes who added vowel points to the text around 800 C.E. have made the title of the goddess “,em m’lekhet hashamayim”, which sounds like “the handiwork of heaven” – a way of saying “remember this is just an idol.” But all translators agree that the pronunciation should be “malkat hashamayim”, the Queen of Heaven.)Some suggest that these cakes for the Queen of Heaven are direct ancestors of the hot cross buns of today. Queen of Heaven” was adopted in Christianity as a title of Mary, the mother of “Jesus”. 21 Religion comes from the Latin religio and means an “obligation, re-linking, reunion, or bond”. Probably from the verb religare which means to “tie back, tie tight”, a compound of re-“back” and ligare “to tie”. It referred to a bond between men and the Elohims. Later it referred to the “monastic life”. The word is not found in the Scriptures and did not receive its common modern meaning until the 16 th century. It is equivalent of the Sanskrit yoga, the root of the English word yoke. 15
