Righteousness Religion and the Global Reset Agenda: does reason oppose revelation?

Righteousness Religion and the Global Reset Agenda: does reason oppose revelation?

Righteousness is the doing of what is right. What is right is determined by its goodness, that is, commitment to wellbeing. Well being is an objective state witnessed by the normative standard of human being., being human. Therefore, righteousness is objective. This is the essence of truth: objective righteousness.

Reason is the thought process of engaging truth. It is an illumination-revelation- of consciousness, navigating credibility through conscience, to arrive at wellbeing. Consciousness harnesses awareness to engage volition for the BM

development of knowledge, in the context of conscience, conscientiousness and environment.

There should be revelation in reason and reason in revelation. Both are integral to the process of righteousness.

In the process of reasoning there are events of revelation when understanding is achieved acquired given received or found. Beyond the semantics, there is a clarity of knowing. Thus we know by reasoned revelation or revealed reasoning.

When we attend school and a structured academic curriculum is applied to communicate knowledge designed to educate the mind; this may be viewed as procedural revelation-illumination; may it not?

There is a learning, knowing, that may not be acquired through external teaching by a human teacher. This does not mean it should be unreasonable. If an angel communicates information to a man, it can well be a revelation of folly as much as a revelation of wisdom. What it is should be a function of reason. The power of revelation is in the authority of reason. In reasoning, procedural illumination guides the mind into revelation of truth.

God reasons. His thoughts are deep. His mind is brilliant. He is the most intelligent Being. Those who claim to be receiving revelation from God should not be allowed to side-step reasoning otherwise they establish ideological models that hijack responsible freedom. Ideology, if it is a fixed mold that blocks reason, is a misunderstanding of being, inconsistent with the nature of any Being, divine or human. God thinks.

No revelation of truth, wisdom and wellbeing can be unreasonable.

Of course reason is folly to the foolish as sanity is to psychosis.

Religious leaders are tempted to use sophistry in seeking to institutionalize a perfect dichotomy of revelation and reason that obligates them as necessary mediators. This is problematic to the course of the human well being.

If our generation is realizing a need to reset the direction of humanity, such an enterprise needn’t be ideological. Ideologues up-end reasoning with a presumption that proclaim them supreme.

The reset required is an in-depth interrogation of fundamental concepts and their application in global governance. Freedom, truth, love, eternity all have a hold on how we do global and local governance. Science is continually giving us evidence that may amount to the truth of eternity: an ever-extending universe. Technology continues to lead us into the realization of dominion over creation, and sin has given us all the evidence to understand that humanity is intentionally evil and too wicked to save herself. We will not do what we know we must do unless God moves us.

This is the foundation of our folly: sophistry! The corruption of global leaders, many of whom are elites in governance, academia, religion, philosophy and community is driven by the use of our intelligence to disingenuously promote our selfishness.

The recent exposé from the Epstein files has confirmed again the wickedness of global leaders behind the curtains.

Howe can we truly reset our generation towards goodness if the drivers are so thoroughly dishonest?

Yet, it is not all gloom and soon because there are numerous hopeful endeavours far and near upon which we can connect and coordinate both national and global transformation.

Our moral compass needs honest resetting. That’s why our religious leaders must demystify their revelation into practical undertakings which replace rural and urban poverty with real prosperity that is not limited to the “man of God”.
