Are you an existentialist? Yes, it’s possible to be one and not even know it. But more than likely if you are one, you know philosophy well. Here’s what you know.

Existentialism is a philosophical movement stressing individual existence and holding that human beings are totally free and responsible for their acts—according to Webster’s New World Dictionary (Wiley Publishing, Inc. 2003). But for those who are unfamiliar with movement, have I given you sufficient information? If not, listen up.

I picked up again an old text book that was assigned to me in graduate school many years ago. I blew dust off covers and read parts of it again. Why? I did so because, in my opinion, there is too much bad philosophy attaching itself to modern day Christianity. For example, my son came home recently from Oklahoma State University where he is a freshman, studying business. He is finishing year with final exams and shows me his philosophy papers. He is studying Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy. You may recall that Nietzsche told us in late 1800’s that God is dead and that we killed Him. This is bad philosophy. I ache that a school like OSU focuses a major part of a philosophy course on Nietzsche’s failed teachings. History proved him wrong—Communism, Nazism, and Jewish Holocaust—are all products of Nietzsche’s philosophy.

Because I ached, I went back to my old philosophy books to reread some of terrible philosophies. Believe it or not, some of these bad philosophies are still circulating today and being touted as good Christian doctrine. I want to advise you regarding some of subtle teachings of Existentialism and let you decide whether or not it is good doctrine for Church. Here goes.

The book I’m borrowing from is entitled, Existentialism and Christian Belief—A Frank Appraisal of a Modern-Day Philosophy, by Milton D. Hunnex (Moody Press 1969). I want to quote from his first chapter entitled, “A New Reformation or a New Religion?” In this chapter he critiques Bishop John A. T. Robinson’s book, Honest to God, a 1963 book that led a revolt against traditional Christianity. Robinson compares movement of Existentialism to powerful forces triggered by Martin Luther during Reformation. This is hogwash. And I think you will agree.

It is a wonderful thing to have Joy of Learning and to make a career that you find is related to your studies. There are so many ways to get a Doctor label and thus claim expertise in many fields and disciplines which we have broken knowledge into. Some of this is counter to real expertise and much of it just sets people apart from knowledge and each other. But people are also being segmented into classes within hierarchy of government backed by and for elites in all so many ways. Medicine has been one of their more dastardly tools alongside religion. This next little factoid reminds me of how Edward Gibbon almost died because British Medical system would not approve vaccinations through use of scabs as had been done by likes of Paracelsus or others in antiquity and which was approved in France of his era.

“When Cholera epidemic reached England, it provided another opportunity to compare homeopathic treatment with conventional methods of day. Regular allopathic medicine yielded a mortality rate of 59 percent compared to only 16 percent for Homeopaths. (1) When these statistics were collected, information was so startling that a medical commission was sent to London Homeopathic Hospital to check records. Though data were duly verified, it was decided not to make them public, and facts were not released until a hundred years later.” (2)

The formation of American Medical Association is a major issue against alternative healing or real care for people. In late 19th Century as these issues were becoming apparent there were many who knew that allopaths or medical doctors selling laudanum and like were actually ‘Killing-trade’. There are signs that stress management (don’t fret – sweat or exercise) and connectiveness to ‘all’ around us are again making a play to be considered in health maintenance. Vitamins and supplements are able to prove to even most duped person receiving medical care that they work and yet some doctor’s groups and governments that back them still disqualify doctors who advise their usage.

Academics are subject to a ‘Knowledge Filter’ (Berkeley Law Professor – Johnson) or Literary Theory (UBC English Professor Graham Good) and outright suppression of creative or thoughtful and meaningful potentials. (3) The concept of Bucky Fuller called 'the observer of observed' and his more detailed 'creative realization' is part of what operates as we ‘project’ upon reality. For example things we see are actually a mixture of fields of energy from dross and less excited to highly excited or vibrational energy inside atomic structures. One way of visualizing this includes an aura, which is field of energy not usually visible but associated with solar body and integrative centers called chakras. Perhaps we could contemplate a time when all people had ability to see or sense auras. In our socially normed 'projections' that include telling our children certain things do not exist, we have lost conscious integration or incorporation of these fields of reality.

Psychic surgeons in Philippines and Brazil have had their energy measured during operations at same vibration rate of 7.8 cycles. It started me thinking about how we can alter our state and how others might perceive us in these altered states. Clearly if anyone could see all spaces between our electrons and nuclei or between different atoms and molecules we wouldn't seem solid by a long shot. Thus these surgeons who use no utensils would be able to energize infected or diseased body part or tumor to remove it at an altered vibration level. There have been solid documentaries with such credible support as X-rays before a San Francisco businessman had such a tumor removed and X-rays a year later showing it hadn't returned. In end you must decide who has most to gain from arguments and whether or not you want to actualize your own potential. Once you do a few things debunkers say are impossible - then a smile will come to your face; and intellectual conflict loses all import.

String Theory knows about harmonic forces that are less than solid which somehow combine to make what we perceive as a solid. The astrophysicists now have told us that 95% of universe is 'Dark Matter' or ‘Dark Energy’ - so get with it before you are invisible and don't know it! Just kidding! We fear that which we cannot fully comprehend and our experts or priests and doctors include many enablers of our fears. We even allow fear to pre-empt love; which is ironic because at end of our lives it’s not fears or differences that matter most but whether we loved and allowed ourselves to be loved as much as possible.

“Every new perception of knowledge is always based either directly or indirectly on older knowledge. InteliTapping allows us to connect with oldest, yet most complete source of knowledge.” (4)
