Spirit Powers and the Bliss of Power
 

With power, there is no reason not to sin, because everything works so smooth. It's like emptying a bag of feathers. Power allows sin to flow out from a person without restrictions. It is only innate moral character which creates the limits to sin where there is power. Power thereby shows what a person's innate moral character is.

Most of what people do with their spirit powers is not viewed as sin. In fact, most sin is not viewed as sin by the perpetrators. What this means is that there are paths which lead to sin, even if the starting point is not viewed as sin. So the purpose here is to explain how starting points which are assumed to be virtuous lead to sin due to spirit powers.

Obviously, spirit powers make life very blissful. The bliss of life is in the ability to control other people. Bliss is subconsciously viewed as a higher standard, if not the most noble purpose in life. But this assumption is subconscious; it is never evaluated, not the least reason being that evaluation is in itself very non-blissful and thereby assumed to be a corruption.

Notice that it is control of people that makes life a bliss. One of the primary consequences is that persons who go down that path become control freaks. There is no constructive way to control other persons from the subjective basis of one's own concerns.

No matter how virtuous the starting point may seem to be, there are elements of sin to the process at the starting point, when people are exploited by controlling them. The end point shows the sin of it more clearly. It often leads to murder. Control freaks can never solve their problems. In fact, they eventually antagonize others to a point where they cannot function. What appears to be solving their problems at the beginning is nothing but exploitation. It works for awhile, until others get tired of being used and find out that they gain nothing from it.

There is a whole universe of concerns in terms of what corrupters are not doing. Human life has a lot of problems built into it. To not be solving those problems is to be part of the problem. This means that the first responsibility of every human is to be solving problems. But the bliss of power indicates that solving problems is a lowly and corrupt thing to do, because it destroys the bliss of power.

Solving problems does not occur by accident. It takes a lifetime of developing knowledge and skills with morality as the standard and central concern. Teaching the subject was Christ's purpose. Not doing any of that is one of the consequences of promoting the bliss of power.

This whole subject of solving problems versus exploitation seems too rudimentary to be a concern of persons who exploit power with higher spiritual states. What is often not noticed is that it applies to every element of life including communication, which is about ninety nine percent of what people do, particularly persons who are exploiting power. In other words, the corruption shows up first and foremost in communications.

The bliss of power resulting from higher spiritual states creates a hate for truth and the open and accountable logic which creates rationality. Why? Because exploitation requires pulling something off. People are exploited by what they don't know. Also, rationality is too demanding to be developed, when the bliss of power seems to take care of everything.

Then there is the secondary effect. Truth exposes corruption for what it is. Corrupters view truth as an attack or an attempt to disrupt their efforts.

For these reasons, even persons who don't assume they are exploiting anyone will have a tendency to suppress truth and rationality, when the bliss of power is readily available due to spirit powers.

One of the reasons why this corruption (the bliss of power) needs to be understood is because there are social values which are demanded and expected, with satan and crew as the enforces, and they promote corruption as virtuous and necessary. It's important to be able to see through the frauds which corrupters promote. The bliss of power is no substitute for truth and rationality.
