IMPORTED
RELIGIONS BROUGHT OUR DECLINE IN SOCIAL MORALITY
The
Genesis of Immorality in Biafra Was the Assimilation of Westernisation
The desecration of our
pre-colonial high moral values started with the arrival of the first white
missionaries in West Africa . What the natives called “NSO-ANI” was re-branded
FORGIVEABLE SINS and so watered down the sanctity of religious values in Biafra . Its partner, WESTERN EDUCATION neatly completed the ‘coup de
grace’ as the foreign concepts and social values of the colonialists destroyed
the social ethics of the natives and rendered our pristine mores and norms
ineffective. In some communities; “aping the white man’s dress code and
mannerisms became fashionable and ignoring the customs and traditions of the
community was seen as the criterion of being EDUCATED and MORE CIVILISED than
the illiterate folks in the villages!

PREAMBLE
TO AUTHENTICITY OF RELIGIOUS BEHAVIOUR
Daily we interact with our parents, siblings,
immediate relatives and neighbours in our small circles of physical
habitations. When we travel outside our ethnic and national boundaries, we run
into different personalities we love to hate or vice versa, who consciously or
unconsciously influence our lives positively or negatively. Have you ever sat
down and taken stock of what you have become over the last ten years?
Many people you see, meet with and/or socialise
with are mere conformists. They are those personalities that are satisfied with
‘going through the motions’; doing what everyone else is doing to make a living
and waiting for the final ‘call to glory’ as they brand death! Many of us are
born and live an inconsequential life; bland, uneventful and without anything
particular to be remembered for after our exit from this mundane world, a
temporal habitation for the soul.
There are some others, whose lives and
contributions to the society made a difference! They changed the ‘status quo’
by either extending the frontiers of knowledge or developing their immediate
communities. They improved the understanding of human nature and taught others
the values of humanitarianism. These heroes and heroines touched the lives of
many intellectually and socially which elevated brotherhood of mankind both
inter-racially and internationally.
These agents of change were the true sons and
daughters of the Almighty Creator of the universe. They added colour to daily
routines and the doldrums of routine existence on planet earth! A few had tall
dreams and went ahead to transform them into reality despite all odds. This
group devised methods of changing the deplorable situations and the deprived circumstances
of the lifestyle they met on becoming adults. Some adolescents dream of the
courage to better their social status, but often take off on the wrong foot of
seeking for titles, money, fame and crowning it all with indulging in romantic
relationships.
Others dared to pursue the unknown, to
break new grounds and blaze trails for followers to tread on. Their zeal,
inquisitiveness, passion, persistence, desire, motivations and prayers were
fully rewarded if they paid the prize for success; optimism, dedication and the
refusal to quit. Their philosophy of life was ‘When the task gets tough, the
tough get it going!’, ‘Never say, never again!’ or ‘All that it takes to make
the impossible possible is the power to remove the ‘im’ in front of the possible!’ They
eventually became geniuses, inventors, explorers, leaders or discoverers! They
evolved into the innovators and pioneers who helped to enlarge the frontiers of
human civilisations and removed the age-old boundaries of the unknown. They
were the catalysts of the world!
Historians inform us that Christopher Columbus
actually set out to discover another route to India America Panama Canal has made it possible to access the Eastern Regions of the
world while travelling continuously to the west! Inventors, Discoverers and
occasionally, religious leaders emerge from obscure communities of despised
nations to beam supernatural light and divine wisdom of the Creator!
Joining this select group of animators or
league of achievers is usually not by accident or by mere wishful thinking.
Beyond the routine duties of satisfying the five senses of the body lies the
desire to excel in unexplored areas of human existence and the freedom to
choose a divergent track that levies hard work is a divine factor that must be
recognised, respected and appropriated in unveiling the unknown that the Divine
Architect had hidden there for ages waiting for a brave soul to convert it from
obscure dormancy to utilitarian vibrancy. This author, a global agent of
spiritual evolution, Dr J. J. Kenez wants to know where you belong in this
universal continuum of innovators. Or, are you waiting for ‘manna from heaven’?
Those who place priority on breaking new
grounds and earnestly search for better alternatives will eventually discover
something unique. Those who ask penetrating questions may one day obtain
answers from above rather than the routine human palliatives that rarely
satisfy the saintly soul. Those who ardently knock on the doors of heavenly
wisdom, sooner than later gain divine inspirations from the Holy Spirit of the
Original Architect and Ultimate Engineer of the earth we inhabit! He alone has
all the answers to all physical, social, mental, spiritual and the personal and
socio-political problems of our mundane world, if only we humble ourselves and
honestly ask for his wisdom and guidance. But, do we?
The Creator has hidden so much from our
intellectual faculties that to date we are still unravelling those He is
allowing humanity to glimpse at through divine dreams, intuitions, inspirations
and revelations to devout souls! Do you want to have supernatural knowledge
mediated by spiritual faculties of seeing, feeling, sensing and caring for
others? Look inwards, for the kingdom of God
The creator gave humans some of his powers and
knowledge for recreating the material universe for the mutual benefits of all
his created beings. The obverse
is the case! Today many use his gifts to perpetrate evil. Either by design or
demonic manipulation, ingrates abound everywhere and dominate the scene. The
first datum that every living thing recognises is that someone put it here and
caters for its welfare. Dogs respect and fight in defence of their owners.
Every pet realises that it is loved and taken care of by someone who has value
for its existence. It is only human beings, who pride themselves of being
rational beings that do not recognise, respect or realise that all of us have a
single owner, a caretaker and benevolent father/mother. Meditate over this
assertion for a minute and provide me an answer.
It is absurd! It is unintelligent. It is
unlike what a rational being can do.
Yet, that is only a tip of the iceberg of
irreverent religiosity in our global village.
Some learned fools insist that everything came
by chance and hold on to the theory of evolution! Despite knowing that the
common wristwatch could never have arrived by blind chance and that computers
and the Internet had inventors, this brand of demented humans refuse to see and
acknowledge the great artistry and creative ingenuity in what they indulge in
on a daily basis to survive till the next morning! Some believe there is an
Almighty Creator who provides for each creature on a daily basis, some assert
that he has turned his back on us due to our congenital wickedness and cruel ways,
while others simply deny his existence!
DECLINE
IN SOCIAL ETHICS IS THE CRUX OF MORAL DEPRAVITY
Double-faced Christians
and Muslims now abound everywhere; they worship Satan at night and come to
church/mosque on Fridays/Sundays! This lifestyle has eroded the credentials of
our forebears! There is now, an urgent need to redeem our children from these
nefarious practices! We must revert to the legacies of our renowned
grandfathers, improve on it and bequeath the next generation a better religious
legacy than we had!
If you are concerned
that our children need fresh religious air that suits this global village and
that posterity deserves a better lifestyle devoid of wearing masks of deceit,
pretences, subterfuges, ‘holier-than-thou’ attitudes, then join us in the
sanitation exercise. Your offspring will remain forever grateful that a select
group of enlightened ‘Homo sapiens sapientis’ took the bull by the horns to
avert the perilous moral decadence that is steadily turning all of us into
unabashed hypocrites, unrepentant fanatics and deluded mystics. You are
welcome!
Culture is a summation
of ethnocentric survival strategies that each sub-unit of humanity had
developed over the centuries, institutionalized and passed on to
their descendants. The sons and daughters of the Almighty Creator have ignored
their ONE CULTURE; which is OBEDIENCE TO ALL THE NATURAL LAWS as ONE WORLD
RELIGION. That is what we desperately need today just we use cellular phones
and the Internet without killing anyone. Respect for and obedience to all the
laws of nature is the key for a peaceful world with beautiful people living,
loving and sharing the Creator's benefits as equal heirs to his blissful global
world that we now share amicably thanks to scientists who have uncovered his designs
for our mutual existence. LET US LIVE IN PEACE! This is the ‘One Global
Religion’ that humanity needs now for ‘One Peaceful Global Village! Here I rest
my case/pen!
The
author took his two sons to participate in the ANAMBRA CULTURAL DAY CELEBRATIONS
at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in 1995 for their first exposure to fully
traditional dances and masquerade festival. They enjoyed it!
RESUME OF MY DEPOSITION
Just type RENASCENT IGBO RELIGION into Google Search and see the volumes I had
written on how, why and wherefore our traditional "NSO ANI" i.e. AVOIDNACE OF DESECRATION
OF NATURAL LAWS is the best religion in the whole world, yet
we prefer to swim in foreign religions and create an immoral nation wherein
demonic politicians and pecuniary religious leaders swindle us and smile to the
banks!!
YOU CAN FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME, AND
YOU CAN ALSO FOOL SOME OF THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME, BUT YOU CAN NEVER FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE
ALL THE TIME, TALK LESS OF ATTEMPTING TO FOOL GOD AT ANY TIME.
CHAPTER ONE
DELIMITING
OUR UNIVERSE OF DISCOURSE
The demands of Formal Logic dictate that
we begin our dissertation from the very beginning of the theories and practices
that gave birth to the doctrines and dogmas that various religious demagogues
invented and developed over the centuries!
UNIVERSAL
DEFINITION OF RELIGION
Let us start with this
unabridged and unedited from Microsoft ® Encarta ® 2009
“Religion is the sacred engagement with that which is believed to
be a spiritual reality. Religion is a worldwide phenomenon that has played a
part in all human culture and so is a much broader, more complex category than
the set of beliefs or practices found in any single religious tradition. An
adequate understanding of religion must take into account its distinctive
qualities and patterns as a form of human experience, as well as the
similarities and differences in religions across human cultures.
In all cultures, human beings make a practice of interacting
with what are taken to be spiritual powers. These powers may be in the form of
gods, spirits, ancestors, or any kind of sacred reality with which humans
believe themselves to be connected. Sometimes a spiritual power is understood
broadly as an all-embracing reality (see Pantheism),
and sometimes it is approached through its manifestation in special symbols. It
may be regarded as external to the self, internal, or both. People interact
with such a presence in a sacred manner—that is, with reverence and care. Religion is the term most commonly used to
designate this complex and diverse realm of human experience.”
“The word religion is derived
from the Latin noun religio, which denotes both earnest observance
of ritual obligations and an inward spirit of reverence. In modern usage, religion covers a wide spectrum of meanings
that reflect the enormous variety of ways the term can be interpreted. At one
extreme, many committed believers recognize only their own tradition as a
religion, understanding expressions such as worship and prayer to refer exclusively to the practices
of their tradition. Although many believers stop short of claiming an exclusive
status for their tradition, they may nevertheless use vague or idealizing terms
in defining religion—for example, “true love of God,” or “the path of
enlightenment.” At the other extreme, religion may be equated with ignorance,
fanaticism, or wishful thinking.”
“By defining religion as
a sacred engagement with what is taken to be a spiritual reality, it is
possible to consider the importance of religion in human life without making
claims about what it really is or ought to be. Religion is not an object with a
single, fixed meaning, or even a zone with clear boundaries. It is an aspect of
human experience that may intersect, incorporate, or transcend other aspects of
life and society. Such a definition avoids the drawbacks of limiting the
investigation of religion to Western or biblical categories such as monotheism
(belief in one god only) or to church structure, which are not universal. For
example, in tribal societies, religion—unlike the Christian church—usually is
not a separate institution but pervades the whole of public and private life.
In Buddhism, gods are not as central as the idea of a Buddha (fully enlightened human being). In
many traditional cultures the idea of a sacred cosmic order is the most
prominent religious belief. Because of this variety, some scholars prefer to
use a general term such as the
sacred to designate the common
foundation of religious life.”
“Religion in this understanding
includes a complex of activities that cannot be reduced to any single aspect of
human experience. It is a part of individual life but also of group dynamics.
Religion includes patterns of behavior but also patterns of language and
thought. It is sometimes a highly organized institution that sets itself apart
from a culture, and it is sometimes an integral part of a culture. Religious
experience may be expressed in visual symbols, dance and performance, elaborate
philosophical systems, legendary and imaginative stories, formal ceremonies,
meditative techniques, and detailed rules of ethical conduct and law. Each of
these elements assumes innumerable cultural forms. In some ways there are as
many forms of religious expression as there are human cultural environments.”

KENEZIAN
DEFINITION OF RELIGION
“Religion was/is a superstitious search by humanity for its
origin, existence, meaning and relevance before the scientific era. The search
was led by acclaimed sages among the elders of a community who defined its
theories and practices. It is later ratified and recommended for legislation
and implementation by state apparatus by convincing stratagem or coercion by
politico-religious leaders. Thereafter, it is fine tuned and administered by
ordained priests and priestesses who hand it down along ancestral lineages from
one generation of lukewarm adherents, fanatics and mystics to another.
Gradually, strong personalities emerge claiming divine appointment and so pull
strong followers who idolise them as role models with supernatural powers. This
obsession confirms them as beacons of adulation and finally leads to full scale
idolatry.
Religion, which is superstition sanctioned by the state, is
actually an addiction to man-made doctrines and dogmas invented, patented and
copyrighted by a few demagogues.
·
It enslaves the mind more than psychoactive drugs,
·
Benumbs human creativity and resourcefulness thereby
·
Restricting the development of the human potential and capital.
It is the main cause of poverty of the mind and underdevelopment
of third world countries as its side-effects are indolence, redundancy,
laziness and dependence of finished products and services. In the final
analysis, it is the predisposing factor to lack of initiative, debilitating
ignorance, fetish belief-systems, abject poverty and perennial ill-health.
Perhaps its only advantage is that it makes the polity docile and amenable to
the whims and caprices of their oppressive leaders. Often, it hoodwinks its
adherents into believing that ‘The God’ or ‘the gods’ they worship speak to
them through the voices of their egocentric clerics who therefore can
conveniently exploit them to satisfy their demonic desires of sensual pleasure
and inordinate ambitions of amassing wealth. Their wanton indulgence in
gluttony, wine and women is seen in every action and definitely this is the
foolproof evidence of their demonic genealogy.” ( Dr Kenez 1991)
From the Animator’s Introduction to
Integrational Spiritan Movement I S M Manifesto
SEE APPENDIX A
To rescue humanity from the demonic
stranglehold of idolatry that now predominates worldwide, you are invited to
reason along with us and see that we provide an everlasting cure for sensual
lust for food, wine, sex, wealth and power that are the trademarks of a society
heading for damnation! Are you going to sit on the fence and wait for another
failed experiment in Messiahship that was riddled with myopic and ethnocentric
bias? Who knows the Creator well enough to declare that he has ‘a chosen
people’? Where is the evidence that Moses actually led the so-called people out
of any oppressive regime? The history books and modern encyclopaedia did not
record the enslavement of the Jewish race except as ‘they were believed as
revealed truths’. Then Moses, who was brought up in an Egyptian royal court
went on to introduce the first and most heinous dichotomy in racism; JEWS and
GENTILES! The negative impact of that first categorisation of humanity gave
birth to all the nepotic, apartheid and racist policies in the entire world.
There is a plethora of ancient and modern major
world religions. In each, there are factions, sects and denominations. It is
syncretism galore! The name of the game is “join our own, ours is the one prospering
for now!” It is a religious market. It is a mad world. Many nationals all over
the globe are smarting under the colonial yoke of Roman Catholicism or
Islamism. The intriguing aspect of this brand of neo-colonialism is that it
brews dogmas and doctrines that propel fanatical members to kill or be killed
in the name of ‘God’. Religious fanaticism or mysticism is a
religio-psychiatric personality disorder that has never been classified by any
DSM and so has never been diagnosed and managed as other psychopathological
conditions that present in health services all over the world!
If you care to join us in a sanitation exercise
that will guarantee a better future for your children, then come and witness
the development of religion from time immemorial to evaluate its subjugation to
man-made doctrines, dogmas and modes of worship that are irreligious.
Thereafter, we can seek for solutions as proposed by the computer-age
integrational fellowship; INTEGRATIONAL SPIRITAN MOVEMENT, abbreviated thus: I
S M. This medical scientist, pragmatic researcher and existential therapist, is
proposing that we scrutinise all the religious and ethnocentric prejudices that
had enslaved many children right from birth, who were born into their parents
religio-cultural practices and were never given the freedom to search for
objective methods of relating to their maker and other humans. Can you join us
to make this feasible?

CHAPTER TWO
A
SAMPLE OF HOW IMPORTED FALSE RELIGIOUS LIFESTYLES HAVE DESECRATED OUR
TRADITIONAL SANCTITY; MORES, NORMS AND ETHICAL VALUES
Where I was born, we
have this local saying; ‘He who does not know where the rainfall starting
beating him, will never know where it stopped’. Another warns; “A rat that
joins a lizard in playing in the rain, to remember that when the lizard is dry,
it will still be wet.”
In my culture, one does
not interpret proverbs. I dare do so for my readers who are non-indigenes of
Igbo land; both idioms imply that anyone who does not know who he is or where
he is coming from will definitely not know where he is going! The words of the
elders of my people of Biafra are definitely words of wisdom. They can write a doctoral
thesis with just an idiom or a statement of the fact with a simple analogy!
Let’s look at these:
The bat is totally blind and is neither an animal of the sky nor of the land!
The bat is neither a bird nor a rodent for it hasn’t any feathers yet it flies!
And though it has the anatomy of mammals and a skin with furs it neither crawls
nor runs on all fours, yet it feeds like birds, amphibians and rodents! The bat
says he knows how ugly it is, so it has resolved to fly only at night! What a
tragedy! These unreverend men and women should emulate the bat!
There was a time when
Catholic Reverend Fathers and Reverend Sisters on missionary services in this
country were really admired, respected and idolised! That was in my teens when
the Late Bishop Shanahan was still an ordinary priest! Rev. Fr. Bindel was the
Parish Priest of Ihiala, then a very large area extending as far away as
Emekuku, Orlu and Oguta! They rode long distances on Hercules bicycles carrying
out their evangelistic duties. They trekked most of the time and made converts
by using the very few semi-literate natives as their interpreters!
These interpreters were
later promoted to Catechists and soon wielded much power! They taught pagans
catechism classes in the vernacular language and only those they certified as
having passed their examinations were baptised. They stood between every
catechumen and the sacraments of baptism, confession, confirmation, matrimony
and even the irregular reception of the Holy Eucharist! You could neither see
any Rev. Fr. nor receive any of these sacraments without greasing their palms!
No girls or women ever came close to the parish houses, not to mention having
handshakes with any priest!
The Rev. Sisters wore
sparkling ankle-length white gowns and their head-gear with a tall hood and
overflowing veils covered every part of their heads except for just the outline
of their faces. I never saw their ears! To us little urchins at the turn of the
century, they were angels. After all the pictures in our catechism classes were
made of white skins. They were all white women. We never dreamt that we would,
in later years, have our own black sisters and daughters qualified to become
Rev. Sisters. No one ever imagined that a black skinned woman could ever be
dressed like these white angels. These angels were our earliest teachers,
nurses, midwives and doctors. They ran the few mission schools and hospitals
that were then in existence at Ihiala and Emekuku. We adored and loved them for
their motherly care but, at the same time, we hated their injection needles!
We were told that both
the priests and nuns were virgins. It was even rumoured that they had no sexual
parts to their bodies. They were ‘castrated’ was the naïve belief that made the
rumour rounds then! We assumed that the nuns had neither breasts nor large
buttocks like our mothers and aunts! How were we to find out? The priests were
covered all over with their flowing white soutanes that they never put off in
our presence. “Did they ever urinate or defecate?” we wondered! I never saw any
of them in short knickers although I was a mass server for several years at St Martin ’s Parish, Odo-ata Ihiala, now in Ihiala Local Government Area ofAnambra State
That the priests were
chaste and the nuns, virgins, were assumed! We never saw the priests and nuns
chat together, hug each other or stroll along any road side by side. They were
discreet and circumspect. They were conscious of their vows of celibacy and
public image knowing that they were continuously being watched day and night.
So, they never scandalised us nor gave us the chance to suspect them! That was
in the early 1930s and 1940s. We gradually began to notice that many nuns went
on leaves that were termed “annual” and understood why some others that lasted
beyond twelve months were termed “sudden”, “casual” or “sick.” Soon, our own
sons and daughters were admitted into seminaries and convents. By the 1950s,
some were ordained and professed respectively. This first set never scandalised
us! We never suspected that they could lower the standards set by these
missionary white angels! That was before the Nigeria-Biafra civil war that
lasted from 1967 to 1970.
·
The wind blew strongly so the hen’s anus was
clearly seen by all!
All that changed as the
scales fell off our eyes. Our religious blinkers were forcibly removed by what
we saw during the civil war at the few Caritas Feeding Centres that we
naturally located within the parish premises. We
saw a lot. Some printable, others not whisper-able! Promiscuity was the mildest
term for describing what the refugee women described as own contributions to
the war effort! Our clergymen
and women were the butt of their sexual exploits as relief items like
stockfish, egg-yolk and milk were exchanged for amorous relationships. Some
wore the glamorous foreign dresses donated by CARITAS &WCC that were meant for homeless refugees
that left their wardrobes behind!
·
“Have they also eaten the forbidden fruit” was
the mildest joke about what we knew was happening at our local parishes. There
was a conspiracy of silence by all the culprits!
The war unmasked
everyone. Today, my ten-year-old niece knows that priests are anything but
celibate! Most mass servers can swear that beside heterosexual indulgence
involving widows, married and unmarried women in our parishes, our
self-professed celibates clandestinely practise homosexualism and lesbianism!
It is no longer news that paedophilia is the scourge of the Catholic clergy in
theUnited States of America
Even among our
Protestant communities, legally married pastors indulge in adulterous
relationships without any qualms of conscience. Prominent television evangelists
are now caught pants down at brothels. In the Catholic hierarchy, most of our
so-called celibates, males and females, are not only promiscuous, but revel in
homosexual and lesbian relationships. Some are pathological Casanovas and
Nymphomaniacs! Hell is let loose as most of the demons there are now living in
our parishes and convents. It is more of a rat race than an epidemic! There
seems to be gold, silver and bronze prizes reserved for those who excel in this
sexual revolution among our celibate community!
In addition, no one
wants to be left behind to pick up a bronze medal! Some have secretly fathered
children and are using church funds to maintain them. The female celibates go
on the pill or commit abortion monthly, dilatation & curettage being their
favourite option! Others build houses and sponsor their concubines in tertiary
educations. The ‘been-tos’ among them send their girlfriends overseas for
summer holidays. Others receive and entertain their white girlfriends, right
here inNigeria!
No one seems to be
bothered by this anomaly. Recently, however, some local ordinaries were forced
to set up special diocesan tribunals to investigate some of the reports they
received from parishioners who were/are the victims of this immoral revolution!
Some married women have lost their husbands to some pretty and sensuous Rev.
Sisters! Equally, some members of the C.M.O, whose wives have been snatched by
vivacious and amorous Rev. Fathers, are also complaining. Who can redeem us
from these demonic onslaughts? In the mass media, one reads about kidnapping;
which many have re-named “MAN-NAPPING’ considering that most of the abducted
are ADULTS not KIDS! Was that ever heard of in the days of yore? That was only
possible in epochs of inter-communal wars or slave trade, both of which arrived
with the white-man’s settling down and establishing foreign administrative
structures and their legal systems. Wife snatching, rape, abortion, nymphomania
and all other sexual sins; contraception, oral sex, homosexuality and
lesbianism came in the wake of aping the white man’s romantic behaviour that
the youths watched on videos and television screens. The acceptance of
confessions and the ‘sacrament’ of penance worsened an already degenerating
moral decadence!
A
KENEZIAN EPILOGUE
DR KENEZ
SUMMATION OF FAITH FROM PREVIOUS RELIGIONS THAT CAN ENTHRONE REAL PEACE FOR
CITIZENS OF THE GLOBAL VILLAGE
There is one supreme eternal reality; the truth; imminent
in all things; creator of all things; immanent in creation. Without fear and
without hatred; not subject to time; beyond birth and death; self-revealing.
This Eternal Reality is known only by the Divine Revelations from His Grace.
Faith is ultimately the acceptance of the divine authority of
the Omnipotent and Omniscient Almighty Creator of the universe we share with
all the other beings he has made; micro/macrocosms, living and non-living
beings that regularly obey the natural and eternal laws he embedded in his
creations for our mutual benefits.
----Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez (1999)
By faith is meant, first, conscious knowledge, and second,
the practice of good deeds. "Know, therefore, that only the LORD your
Creator is the Ultimate Reality, the Absolute Truth. Only he is the steadfast
Godhead who keeps His gracious covenant to the all who believe and trust in his
everlasting love and fatherly care for beings, seen and unseen to the tens,
hundreds and thousandth generations of those who love Him and keep His
commandments." Hence, recognizing and affirming that this One Almighty Creator of the entire Universe is our
Father/Mother and therefore, only to this Creator is total worship due. Our corporate willingness, commitment and submission to
this One Creator that exists guarantees all that are alive sustenance, and to
His prescriptions for living in accordance with his ordained eternal and
natural laws is surely the only assurance of living a good life assured to
anyone who (1) believes in Him, and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads
a righteous life, will receive their recompense from the Lord. They have
nothing to fear, nor will they
grieve."
------------- ISM
Integrational Faith (2013)
FELLOWSHIP OF TRUE CHILDREN OF THE CREATOR
Faith in Buddhism centres on the understanding that the Buddha is an Awakened being, on his superior
role as teacher, in the truth of his Dharma (spiritual teachings), and in his Sangha (community of spiritually developed
followers).
In the teachings, saddhā is often described as:
a conviction that something is
a determination to accomplish one's goals
a sense of joy deriving from the other two spiritual teachings
and in community of spiritually developed followers.
As a counter to any form of "blind faith", the
Buddha's teachings included those included in the Kalama Sutra, exhorting his disciples to investigate any teaching and to live by
what is learnt and accepted, rather than believing in something simply because
it is taught.
Meher Baba described three types of faith,
emphasizing the importance of faith in a spiritual master:
"One of the most
important qualifications for the aspirant is faith. There are three kinds of
faith: (i) faith in oneself, (ii) faith in the Master and (iii) faith in life. Faith is so indispensable to life that unless it is present in some
degree, life itself would be impossible. It is because of faith that
cooperative and social life becomes possible. It is faith in each other that
facilitates a free give and take of love, a free sharing of work and its
results. When life is burdened with unjustified fear of one another
it becomes cramped and restricted....Faith in the Master becomes all-important
because it nourishes and sustains faith in oneself and faith in life in the
very teeth of set-backs and failures, handicaps and difficulties, limitations
and failings. Life, as man knows it in himself, or in most of his fellow-men,
may be narrow, twisted and perverse, but life as he sees it in the Master is
unlimited, pure and untainted. In the Master, man sees his own ideal realised;
the Master is what his own deeper self would rather be. He sees in the Master
the reflection of the best in himself which is yet to be, but which he will
surely one day attain. Faith in the Master therefore becomes the chief
motive-power for realising the divinity which is latent in man."
Bertrand Russell noted, "Where there is evidence, no one speaks of
'faith'. We do not speak of faith that two and two are four or that the earth
is round. We only speak of faith when we wish to substitute emotion for
evidence."
Kenez Danmbaezue observes; “ The only truthful thing
anyone can say about the Almighty and Benevolent Creator known in many cultures
and languages by a variety of names is; AN INTELLIGENT SUPERNATURAL BEING
EXISTS WHO CREATED ALL WE CAN EVER SEE, THINK AND FEEL! Any other statement we
make about this Ultimate Reality, Absolute Truth that is omnipotent, omniscient
and omnipresent being is mere guesswork that only feeds doctrine and dogmas!

INTRODUCTION
TO INTEGRATIONAL SPIRITAN MOVEMENT
The
Computer-Age Spiritual Fellowship for Citizens of this Global Village
A KENEZIAN PREFACE
Many people are mere
conformists. They are those personalities that are satisfied with ‘going
through the motions’; doing what everyone else is doing to make a living and
waiting for the final ‘call to glory’ as they brand death! Many of us are born
and live an inconsequential life; bland, uneventful and without anything
particular to be remembered for after our exit from this mundane world, a
temporal habitation for the soul. There are some others, whose lives and
contributions to the society made a difference! They changed the ‘status quo’
by either extending the frontiers of knowledge or developing their immediate
communities. They improved the understanding of human nature and taught others
the values of humanitarianism. These heroes and heroines touched the lives of
many both inter-racially and internationally.
They added colour to
the doldrums of routine existence on planet earth!
A few had tall dreams
and went ahead to transform them into reality despite all odds. This group
devised methods of changing the deplorable situations and the deprived
circumstances of the lifestyle they met on becoming adults. Some adolescents
dream of the courage to better their social status, but often take off on the
wrong foot of seeking for titles, money, fame and crowning it all with
indulging in romantic relationships.
Others dared to pursue
the unknown, to break new grounds and blaze trails for followers to tread on.
Their zeal, inquisitiveness, passion, persistence, desire, motivations and
prayers were fully rewarded if they paid the prize for success; optimism,
dedication and the refusal to quit. Their philosophy of life was ‘When the task
gets tough, the tough get it going!’, ‘Never say, never again!’ or ‘All that it
takes to make the impossible possible is the power to remove the ‘im’ in front of the possible!’
They eventually became
geniuses, inventors, explorers, leaders or discoverers! They evolved into the innovators
and pioneers who helped to enlarge the frontiers of human civilisations and
removed the age-old boundaries of the unknown. Joining this select group of
animators or league of achievers is usually not by accident or by mere wishful
thinking. Beyond desire and hard work is a divine factor that must be
recognised, respected and appropriated in unveiling the unknown that the Divine
Architect had hidden there for ages waiting for a brave soul to convert it from
obscure dormancy to utilitarian vibrancy. This author, Dr Kenez wants to know
where you belong in this universal continuum. Or, are you waiting for ‘manna
from heaven’?
Historians inform us
that Christopher Columbus actually set out to discover another route to India Americas Panama Canal has made it possible to access the Eastern Regions of the
World while travelling continuously to the west! Inventors, Discoverers and
occasionally, religious leaders emerge from obscure communities of despised
nations to beam supernatural light and divine wisdom of the Creator!
Those who search will
eventually discover something unique. Those who ask penetrating questions may
one day obtain answers from above rather than human palliatives that rarely
satisfy the saintly soul. Those who ardently knock on the doors of heavenly
wisdom, sooner than later gain divine inspirations from the Holy Spirit of the
Original Architect and Ultimate Engineer of the earth we inhabit! He alone has
all the answers to all physical, social, mental, spiritual and the personal and
socio-political problems of our mundane world, if only we humble ourselves and
honestly ask for his wisdom and guidance. But, do we?
The Creator has hidden
so much from our intellectual faculties that to date we are still unravelling
those He is allowing humanity to glimpse at through divine dreams, intuitions,
inspirations and revelations to devout souls! Do you want to have supernatural
knowledge mediated by spiritual faculties of seeing, feeling, sensing and
caring for others? Look inwards, for the kingdom of God
The creator gave humans
some of his powers and knowledge for recreating the material universe for the
mutual benefits of all his created beings but today many use his gifts to
perpetrate evil. Either by design or demonic manipulation, the obverse is the
case; the first datum that every living thing recognises is that someone put it
here and caters for its welfare. Dogs respect and fight in defence of their
owners. Every pet realises that it is loved and taken care of by someone who
has value for its existence. It is human who pride themselves of being rational
beings that do not recognise, respect or realise that all of us have a single
owner. It is absurd! Some believe there is an Almighty Creator who provides for
each creature on daily basis, some assert that he has turned his back on us due
to our congenital wickedness and cruel ways, while others simply deny his
existence!
This is my summation of the problem; “Religion was/is a
superstitious search by humanity for its origin, existence, meaning and
relevance before the scientific era. The search was led by acclaimed sages
among the elders of a community who defined its theories and practices. It is
later ratified and recommended for legislation and implementation by state
apparatus by convincing stratagem or coercion by politico-religious leaders.
Thereafter, it is fine tuned and administered by ordained priests and
priestesses who hand it down along ancestral lineages from one generation of
lukewarm adherents, fanatics and mystics to another. Gradually, strong
personalities emerge claiming divine appointment and so pull strong followers
who idolise them as role models with supernatural powers. This obsession
confirms them as beacons of adulation and finally leads to full scale idolatry.
Religion, which is superstition sanctioned by the state, is
actually an addiction to man-made doctrines and dogmas invented, patented and
copyrighted by a few demagogues.
·
It enslaves the mind more than psychoactive drugs,
·
Benumbs human creativity and resourcefulness thereby
·
Restricting the development of the human potential and capital.
It is the main cause of poverty of the mind and underdevelopment
of third world countries as its side-effects are indolence, redundancy,
laziness and dependence of finished products and services. In the final
analysis, it is the predisposing factor to lack of initiative, debilitating
ignorance, fetish belief-systems, abject poverty and perennial ill-health.
Perhaps its only advantage is that it makes the polity docile
and amenable to the whims and caprices of their oppressive leaders. Often, it
hoodwinks its adherents into believing that ‘The God’ or ‘the gods’ they
worship speak to them through the voices of their egocentric clerics who
therefore can conveniently exploit them to satisfy their demonic desires of
sensual pleasure and inordinate ambitions of amassing wealth. Their wanton
indulgence in gluttony, wine and women is seen in every action and definitely
this is the foolproof evidence of their demonic genealogy.
To rescue humanity from the demonic stranglehold of idolatry
that now predominates worldwide, you are invited to reason along with us and
see that we provide an everlasting cure for sensual lust for food, wine, sex,
wealth and power that are the trademarks of society heading for damnation! Are
you going to sit on the fence and wait for another failed experiment in
Messiahship that was riddled with myopic and ethnocentric bias? Who knows the
Creator well enough to declare that he has ‘a chosen people’? Where is the
evidence that Moses actually led the so-called people out of any oppressive
regime? The history books and modern encyclopaedia did not record the
enslavement of the Jewish race except as ‘they were believed as revealed
truths’.
Then he went on to introduce the first and most heinous
dichotomy in racism; JEWS and GENTILES! The negative impact of that first
categorisation of humanity gave birth to all the nepotic, apartheid and racist
policies in the entire world. If you care to join us in a sanitation exercise
that will guarantee a better future for your children, the come and witness the
development of religion from time immemorial to evaluate it subjugation to
man-made doctrines, dogmas and modes of worship that are irreligious.
Thereafter, we can seek for solutions as proposed by the computer-age Integrational
fellowship; I S M.
Three faces of the Global Village Theosophist
and Existential Family Therapist, who states; “There is nothing man can
authoritatively declare about the Almighty Creator except to posit that HE IS!
Anything else is guesswork, despite the catalogue of doctrines, dogmas,
mythologies and rituals! The truth is that out of love the Supreme Being made
us his sons and daughters, co-heirs of his benevolence that abound in the
material universe so that we may live happily. We, simply, ought to love and
share them!
