The Economic Realm

(9)

For that reason Lucifer seems to be correct in his assertion that, 'Only God can see the future and He is afraid to look.'

I was pleased to see 20/20 doing a piece on Cabala, which seems to be Jewish religion gone mystical. I am not familiar with (thump) Cabala. Hopefully, the 20/20 piece will teach me a few things about it. But I must say that my first impression is favorable based on the assertion that it is actually Mystical Judaism.

Not that I'm a big fan of Judaism. I am, however a big fan of Mysticism. I love Mysticism. I love Mysticism so long as it is not taken literally. Literal Mysticism is crap.

Real Mysticism is poetical. Ouspensky knew that.

Furthermore my experience with Mysticism is that it is almost always drug-based. Ouspensky knew that too. So did Casteneda. So did ten thousand other 'mystics' who felt the need to communicate the uncommunicable to you... idiots.

Modern Culture operates in what I call the 'Economic Realm.' In the ER mystical ideas are not welcome because those ideas contribute nothing to the economic advancement of Mankind. Economics is a collective undertaking.

Mystical Ideas tend to be personal, not economical. Therefore Mystical Ideas are economically worthless and as a result those ideas are persecuted by the Economic Class.
