“Accepting at least as a working assumption the notion that humans are a fractal of the whole universe has the huge advantage of allowing curiosity to step outside the boundaries of both conventional rationality and religiously-conditioned belief-thinking.”

“That makes for a top-heavy lot of father-power concentrated in men who derive it from a nebulous ‘father-god’, at the expense of normal human fatherhood. It reverses the order of sane traditional relationships between the generations, where any younger male would call an older man ‘father’, while in Christianity the wise old peasant must call the junior priest ‘father’. It may well also have had a disempowering effect on the normal development of mature manhood and fatherhood in ordinary men. Arguably, with so much ‘father-power’ vested in the priests as community authorities and owners of morality and spirituality, ordinary family men would be deprived of much of their own male potential to grow into emotionally adult fatherhood. Logically, the frustrated adult male must then take advantage of men’s patriarchal ‘superiority’ to indulge in immature compensatory behaviors of domestic violence on wife and children.”

“Thanks to modern research on trauma, we can understand that the men of the Inquisition are deeply programmed by the religious ideology, more so even than the common folk. Visceral hatred and cold, calculating, victimization of the feminine, life, and Nature, are an outcome of, and ‘compensation’ for, their own conditioning into total subservience to their ‘holy’ mission at the price of induced self-hatred. This involves a certain form of dehumanization, also deliberately achieved especially under Jesuit training (see next section).”

“Toiling every day with the mind desperately focused on the meager earnings of pay day is repetitive daily trauma. That trauma conditions the mind to internalize the now obvious conviction that life with scarce money is wretched. Life without money has become impossible for the very people whose ancestors, for millennia, had lived exactly the opposite. The enormity of this ‘conversion’ of the common folk to the money god can only be grasped in its fullness as this brutal rupture from millennia of meaningful life in Nature’s human economies. If modernity is a ‘civilization’, it is, no less than the previous eras, predicated on the violence of what generates and feeds on slavery.”
