Thus mainstream religion was born. A tool that should unify the people into one body under one God in which limitations are set so that the unrighteouse (selfish) believe that they cannot tap into the power of God but instead it has been perverted to keep people from having faith in themselves and in their connection with God (and what God really is) that makes them through their unbelief to project all their will and a lot of energy into a universal construct that an experienced adept can tap into to use for their own will whether good or evil. The majority of the population doesn’t even know how to access this construct (man made God super ego since it is in the image of an idol "man" thus destroying the concept of The Law Of Oneness) in that since they do not have faith in themselves then they do not have faith that their God will do their will. Jewish religion especially has placed one hell of a seal on this God (construct) in that this God is vengefull yet all loving in that if you are not perfect then God will not listen to you and will instead punish you (This goes against free will and the Law of One that all of existance goes through). Thus you have people who manifest their guilt (problems) with the help of their vengeful construct who backs up such a fear. Then Christianity came around with the "Good News" (the news of the Law Of One) which stated that God is all love and that there is nothing to fear but guilt itself. Stated that the Commandments should still not be broken but that life is a continuating struggle between righteousness (servitude – selflessness) and unrighteousness (selfishness) in that as long as you do not succumb to sin but instead constantly fight against it and try to perfect yourself then you have nothing to worry about. The New Testament was created to take the burden off peoples shoulders so that they can learn to love themselves for who they are so that they can love others around them for who they are. It is also an Occult doctrine that teaches about magick (faith). It too also sets down a seal in that in order to do as Christ did then you must be in his likeness. Which means that you must have complete faith in yourself and in your ideal image (extension) of yourself (God) and that in order to have such faith you must give everything up and become wholly dependant on such faith. If you rely on money then you do not have faith that you can survive without it. If you care about how you dress then you do not love yourself. The New Testament teaches a person how to become almost like a yogi in that it teaches the individual to give up all material dependency so that they may become spiritually adept (fit) to use such faith or will. As an example if you could manifest your desires what would you do? I bet you would use it for material gain or control. Now what does a yogi or Jesus Christ do with their abilities. This is why magick is Secret in that people are selfish. And religion is a guide to dissolve such selfishness and keep control of the majority of psychic energy. To bad religion has become corrupted due to power strugles (the same reason Christ was crucified for).
