Faith in a Divine Conspiracy
If Spiritual Warfare is real, then what is the battle occurring at the top of our world?
I rant a fair bit about the demonisation of conspiracy theorists. It isn’t personal — more intellectual.
To me, there is more than enough evidence that our world has, for the most part, been controlled by an elite group of people — an exclusive club, perhaps metaphorically, but also possibly literally in the case of secret societies like the Freemasons. This collective acts with the primary motive of keeping themselves in this position of power, while essentially keeping up the necessary pretences to distract from this fact.
But there is also another extreme that I am becoming increasingly frustrated with: the inability of people who do understand this unpleasant reality, but conversely cannot imagine that there might be good people in these upper echelons of society — people who are working for the greater good to try and dismantle the power structures they are a part of.
This is where I ultimately arrive back at the concept of spiritual warfare, which is pretty much the most important theoretic framework within which I am able to make sense of the world. I write about it here, but these are the basics.
In every domain on Earth, there is a battle between opposing wills occurring. Some might call it good versus evil, some might call it light versus dark, some might call it unity versus division; the most helpful dichotomy I find is between ‘service to others’ and ‘service to self’. We are in the midst of a spiritual civil war on Earth, basically (which kinda obliges us to take a side).
This weighty rhetoric can be a bit much for a lot of people: that we are actually, wittingly or not, engaged in spiritual combat in some strange meta-physical dimension. We have been conditioned to believe that the world isn’t actually that interesting or exciting. This is one of the more fundamental arguments I see made against conspiracy theories: they project a world that is more interesting than reality.
What if reality really is that interesting, that exciting? How do we know it isn’t? How do we know that we aren’t caught up in some grand battle between between good and evil, and that we aren’t each playing our own vital part in?
For me, the best part of spiritual warfare is this: it doesn’t even matter whether you agree with the person you come into battle with — or if you believe in the specific issues or causes that they might be going into combat for. If you are both fighting with the best interests of humanity at heart, fighting for something greater than yourself — using virtues such as humility, compassion, discernment and faith as armour — you are, by default, on the same team.
We do, I am starting to realise, choose our own realities. So we can choose to act within the world as if the stakes are that high, and that would (to some fairly significant extent) make that reality real! The worst that can happen is you look some degree of crazy to other people who don’t buy in, but in a mostly endearing-mixed-with-mild-concern type of way. The worst that could happen, if you don’t buy in, is that you become a bystander in the culmination of one of the greatest stories of our planet.
The paradigm of Spiritual Warfare isn’t just relevant in our own lives. It also shapes our understanding of the forces at work above and beyond us, in the aforementioned upper tiers of society that remain largely hidden to us.
When I tried to address the Q(Anon) phenomenon, I asked what seems like a counterintuitive question: if Q is a ‘psy-op’ — a coordinated operation to change the psychology of a group of people — does that necessarily make it bad? I’m not saying that Q necessarily is ‘good’, because I don’t know that. But I am saying: I believe ‘psy-ops’ can be and are being undertaken for noble purposes. I think this is unavoidable, when you are dealing with a population that has been systematically gaslighted and abused by negative psy-ops.
This leads to a broader question: if there are indeed people plotting and scheming behind the scenes of our world, do these ‘conspiracies’ that they are concocting have to be ‘bad’?
The word conspiracy is interesting from an etiological perspective (when we look at the root of the word and what it actually means). Conspiracy derives from ‘conspire’, which literally means to breathe together. Basically, it means you meet, you plan, you likely have fun. The outcome of such meetings from a moral standpoint could be good, bad or neutral, presumably.
A conspiracy theorist is someone who attempts to decipher what the plans of these communal breathers are, basically a humble dot connector. The whole thing has, of course, since evolved to infer something inherently sinister and nefarious, where the conspiracy theorist is made to be projecting out their own longings for nefariousness into a rosy-pink world where there in fact is no (or at least far less) nefariousness. This is a quite excellent — and no doubt entirely coincidental — outcome for those who might actually be undertaking any such hypothetical dastardly deeds.
Given the nature of this coincidence, many have suggested that this narrative was a calculated move by intelligence agencies — who are very gifted at using the power of language to control narrative — to demonise anyone who questioned the status-quo in such a way. Indeed, one only needs to look at the current day status-quo — where conspiracy theorists are able to be dismissed automatically without any personal investigation of the theory they are putting forward — to see how effective this particular smear campaign has been (were it to exist, of course).
So, why can’t there be good conspiracies? If there are indeed a wealth of bad conspiracies being rolled out, which Covid is doing its best to bring to light, but yet our world is still overwhelmingly good: where are all the good conspiracies, hey? Are we to believe that spiritual warfare suddenly ceases to exist at this level… that it devolves into a corrupt and nihilistic shit show of eternally selfish individuals fighting between each other for their own shot at ultimate power, without any hope for some redemptive force to be found?
Let us play a hypothetical. Let’s say, as many do believe, that the elite system of control is propped up by a network of human trafficking, and specifically child abuse and pedophilia. In the model of Epstein and gang, it is a world where visible positions of power are only given to certain people: those willing to incriminate themselves to the extent that they are able to be controlled and blackmailed by those who hold invisible positions of power.
How long could this system slide by without pushback? How long could people witness this horror show, or at least know of its existence, without eventually feeling the moral obligation to fight against it? Perhaps, even if they did this, it would be knowing that they were incriminated themselves to some extent as well?
If I’m right, and that wasn’t just a theoretical, then my feeling is that we are about to see some truly astonishing falls-from-grace play out (Bill Gates appears to be first in line). There may well be very few famous people who come out clean, regardless of what side they appear to be on. We probably have no idea what really happens at some of these elite gatherings, even if Stanley Kubrick gave us our closest glimpse in Eyes Wide Shut.
So what is this divine conspiracy, if it were to exist?
Well, we have religious groups like the Bahá'í Faith, who are very deliberately putting in place plans to create a new world built on divine foundations. But this is more of a long-term plan — something that really kicks into gear once there is a bit less carnage moved out of the way.
Many people believe the highest good guy in this spiritual battle is represented by Q: a team who are at this present moment carrying out an appropriately complex and unknowable plan that we might, at the moment at least, call our planet’s Divine Conspiracy.
Do I know that Q represents this divine side of our elite world? No, although I certainly hope that it does — because it is gonna be one hell of a tough pill to swallow for a lot of conspiracy theorists if it isn’t. But what I am sure about is that this battle of wills is indeed playing out behind the scenes — because in the reality of spiritual warfare there is no other option — and that the good guys do appear to be winning. Why do I think that? Because despite all the chaos and division that currently exists in the world, those plans of the bad guys have never been so exposed and apparent to the everyday person.
No one said an apocalypse was going to be pretty, and if this is the old world about to collapse around us, at least we can have faith that there is a divine force overseeing it all.
