With government and those institutions that serve it under the context of public collective cultural society presiding as the godhead the message is quite clear. Only the wealthy or upper middle class can afford heaven on earth where all those that can't afford and meet up with it's divine will on earth become punished when it concerns a life of condemned hell.
For those who are wealthy or upper middle class they are living under the kingdom of heaven as they exist as the privileged socially chosen. For everybody else they are a condemned to a existence of hell with little to no independence whatsoever constantly being existentially extinguished in a life of poverty or degraded servitude.
This is how the social hierarchy of our societies have come to mask and masquerade themselves by this increasing duality of opposites.
Upward social mobility living the lifestyle of the wealthy or upper middle class mirrors existential heaven where poverty amongst the lower classes who are punished to partake in the worst of labors just to exist in constantly being poor comes to mirror existential hell.
Today's social hierarchy thus repeats the theme of the privileged chosen allowed to live in a type of heaven on earth where the outcasts or those perceived as sinners are reduced to condemnation, punishment, and poverty in all it's forms which mirrors hell in comparison.
Individuals are given the choice of either a lifetime of heaven or a lifetime of hell.
As government with all the institutions that serve it has become the new godhead competition amongst this hierarchy merely becomes one of everybody fighting and competing for god's approval since it is that same godhead that rewards or punishes based upon people's abilities to fulfill it's rituals and commandments.
Disabilities to conform with this god isn't tolerated and is punished according to it's will.
Those who lack the abilities to fulfill it's rituals, commandments, expectations, and standards become punished sentenced to the lowest depths of society when it concerns public humiliation or disapproval.
The faithful are rewarded where the unfaithful are condemned.
With all of this society comes to mirror that of a religious dichotomy of opposites when it concerns it's own meta narrative that is very similar to ones of religion.
The protestant work ethic after all of this thus becomes constantly maintained.
- Quote :
- Satyr: All are equal under God, if the individual offers the proper respect and accepts God into his heart and in the secular form all are equal under the law if the individual shows the proper respect for the state or the institution.
In both cases the only form of distinction was in reference to servitude and loyalty to the authority. In the religion it was the pious man that was more holy than the average man, and in the system it is the good citizen who distinguishes himself from the average man.
In both cases salvation is possible if the individual makes the proper amends, submits the the one authority, works for its betterment and expansion (does the Lord's good work), and remains docile and tolerant and submissive towards it for a lifetime.
