Self-Creating

 

The 8/21/24 edition of The Cavalier Chronicle carries a weekly homily on Page 7 of the paper, and this one was entitled, Self-Made Men and Women? I will copy the homily and comment on it.

 

My initial response is that the author of the homily regards sacred humanists and secular humanists, be they individuators or not, as guilty or susceptible to being guilty of the sin of intellectual pride, or Luciferian pride, rebellion against God for which they could be cast into hell after death by God.

 

I am on record as suggesting that good deities are individuators, and we, made in their image and likeness, are commanded by them, expected by them—and will be punished if we non-individuate and rewarded in this world and  the next if we do individuate—to be self-made to the degree that we each can singularly maverize, building upon the natural and social gifts which the good deities bestowed upon us personally as our baseline.

 

The false intellectual  pride that exists and is Luciferian, is less based on individualism versus dependence upon God, or competing with God, or being too activistic, not giving God credit for everything (Indirectly God should  get credit for everything, but God wants us to take direct credit for our achievements if such pride and self-esteem is meritorious, and we at the same time thank God for gifts given and we dedicate our individuated/individuating/self-perfecting selves to the good deities as a gift, a sacrifice and a gesture of thanks for the chance to live and excel.), or just allowing whatever fate brings one’s way to be one’s life story, but that demonic pride is the arrogance, intellectual rationalization and denial of the need to sin not and to love and maverize, an insulting, arrogant, weird humility and self-abasement that angers and offends the good deities and will not go unpunished/

 

Homily: “Our myth, we control our success in life—or our lack of success.”

 

My response: It is the God-centered, God-blessed human reality or obligation to get moving to maverize as morally free-willing agents, directly responsible for our success or failure in life, and of course what God gave us to start with, or how luck plays a role in our lives.

 

Homily: “The truth: we have gifts, talents, personalities, and abilities are uniquely ours. We can hone them but they are God-given. In church this week, thank God for who you are.

 

Just like the clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand. Jeremiah 19: 1-11.”

 

Mu response: Humans are free and have some power and talent, and are divinely ordered to amount to something, or else be punished in this world and in the next. As long as the individual loves God while self-realizing, and dedicates one’s life to God, and openly admits and confesses that the good deities are still his masters and mistresses, then being self-made and being realistically but modestly proud of that is what the good deities expect and demand of him.
