The Legend of Lilith: The Origins of Evil and the Fall of Man
light onto this controversial topic that many in the Nazarene 30 Yisraelite movement avoid due to widespread
ignorance and trepidation among teachers concerning this legendary being.
The fear of hellfire, the Devil, and missing the false “rapture” are the most powerful tools religion uses to
keep their unruly flocks in line. This idea is so powerful that it has been repeated over and over and over
for the last 1,680 years. Even in today’s enlightened world people today still have this terrible fear
molded into their brains and are so afraid to think for themselves. If, by chance a person ever starts to
think independently and freely they worry – they fear – “What if?”
This concept of eternal torture was enforced with libraries of books written about the Christian devil, Lucifer
and demons. It is an axiom that a picture is worth a thousand words. So, to keep that threatening image
of the lake of fire and brimstone, and eternal damnation in front of the public religion has skillfully
used the arts and movies to drive home that fear. Yet, the Torah never condemns the non-Yisraelite to an
eternity of Hellfire and damnation. Demons are a favorite scapegoat that religious people use to explain
their own evil thoughts, and deeds. It is the original blame-shifting defense mechanism that Adam used in
the Gan Eden in order to shift the blame to Elohim and Chawah.
One cannot think outside the box, while they are inside the box. One can deny that they are in the box as
their thoughts and actions always give them away - they always return to the box and support their old
beliefs. Words can be manipulated and often do not reflect one's actions. You may be able to speak in a
different language, but until you are able to think in that language, you cannot experience it fully.
True Spirituality is a sharp contrast to the current reactionary spirituality that is so common among the
world religions. Reactionary spirituality assets that one group has exclusive authoritative possession of
the Truth. It claims that only one person has the right to interpret the will of Elohim because of some special
tie to Elohim that makes them superior to the rest of mankind. Or it can also claim that people of a
certain kind are innately more attuned to truth than others. This is not saying that some ideas or not better
than other ideas. It is not elitist to also claim that a certain people group came to those ideas first and deserve
to be honored in giving those ideas to the rest of the world. However, it is elitist to claim that one
group of people has an exclusive right to interpret sacred ideas or have an exclusive connection to the
Ruach. So when anyone says they are spiritually superior because they were born in a certain family,
group, or social status, we need to know about that person before accepting such claims.
Reactionary spirituality rejects all the claims of modern science, rational or intelligent inquiry, and quantum
physics rather than recognizing that the sciences have legitimate spheres that have a definite say.
Reactionary spirituality usually backs the social elites and opposes the transformation of the economic,
social, and political orders. It is unwilling to participate in the struggle for the tikkun process that would
actually bring about social justice. It conforms of the values of the societies in which it holds power instead
of seeking to build social, religious, economic, and political institutions that would promote love
and compassion rather than seeking to serve mammon and power.
True spirituality presents to mankind the challenge that the world can be changed. This fundamental truth
has been denied by many rabbis, priests, leaders, and teachers. The religious world needs a call of restoration
of true spirituality in order to change the true faith back to its Scriptural origins as the practice of
healing, repairing, and transformation of the world. Any belief system that claims to be spiritual should
