Holocaust as a Grand Narrative

Judaism and Islam are lunar religions while Christianity, Neoplatonism, Gnosticism, Hermeticism, and the Ancient Sumerian religions are solar religions.

According to Judaism, knowledge is a poison that must be filtered through a Grand Narrative. The forbidden fruit is described in Genesis 2:17 as the source of knowledge of good and bad that Yahweh wants human beings to avoid and instead choose ignorance and subservience to Him (Yahweh). The Talmud in Sanhedrin 29 explains that Adam warned Eve not to even touch the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and bad. In other words, Adam warned Eve not to be curious about searching for knowledge. Still, the woman is convinced by a non-human entity called nahash (the serpent) to eat the fruit and be like Yahweh and gain knowledge (or gnosis in Greek).

Judaism was established as an anti-gnostic religion (which is a common feature of most Semitic religions) as explained in the post titled The Madman Who Founded Judaism. The Gnostics described Judaism as the religion of devil worshipers because Yahweh is the devil as I have explained in Why Christmas was Banned by Christian Puritans and How Christ Became the Greater Yahweh. Christianity was an offshoot of Gnosticism, not Judaism, and in fact, Early Christians worshipped the non-Semitic Sumerian Christ who I have described in DeHebraizing Christ: On the Apotheosis of an Ancient Non-Semitic Hero-King into Greater Yahweh. Essentially, Christianity does not need Judaism to exist just as Marcion taught. This is why Jews fear Gnosticism because Gnosticism delinks Christianity from Judaism and leaves Jews without any divine mission in the Christian worldview.

To Platonists, the eating of the fruit of knowledge of good and evil was a liberating experience from the demiurge (also described as the ignorant devil). To Classical Gnosticism, Hermeticism, and Neoplatonism, Judaism was a stain on the intellect of humanity – a disease of the soul and the religion of the devil. In fact, most Jews hated Yahweh (they still do today) and worshiped other Gods whom they valued as superior to Yahweh. For this reason, Judaism developed an intense dislike for the independent search for knowledge – a vice that Islam inherited from Judaism because Islam is nothing more than Judaism for Arabs. As a matter of fact, Judaism and Islam are lunar religions while Christianity, Neoplatonism, Gnosticism, Hermeticism, and the Ancient Sumerian religions are solar religions.

Solar Religion versus a Lunar Religion

A Solar religion seeks light (a euphemism for unadulterated knowledge) and allows for an independent search for knowledge, while a Lunar religion aims to drive the human intellect into the dark cave of Plato where superstitions and myths are substitutes for knowledge. In theosophy, solar religions are the basis of the right-hand path while lunar religions are the basis of the left-hand path. In Kabbalah, solar religions belong to the Ein Sof while lunar religions belong to Thaumiel and the Qlippoth which explains why Kabbalah describes Jews as Amalekites and enemies of light (which is shocking to ordinary Jews but it makes sense if one understands that Kabbalah is derived from Gnosticisms and Neoplatonism). Modern Jews dislike the fact that Kabbalah is used to justify the actions of Adolf Hitler against Jews, though these actions are regarded as Kabbalistically valid as explained later in this post.

Regarding the validation of acquired knowledge, a lunar religion uses myth (frequently an immutable myth) to filter knowledge into good and bad knowledge. This myth used to filter knowledge is called a grand narrative because it creates the worldview that shapes how one interacts with reality. A solar religion validates knowledge using a scheme of mutable metaphysics that can be amended, modified, and discarded if need be. In Anti-Foundationalism, Non-Foundationalism, and Post-Truth Christianity, I explain how this mutable metaphysics is the basis of science, mathematics, and logic which have made Greco-Roman civilization and the current Western Civilizations the greatest triumphs of human ingenuity.

Jews have always feared Gnosticism and considered it the greatest threat to their survival. There is a good reason for this. The cognitive superiority of Gnosticism cannot be matched by Judaism, and in fact, Judaism has lost all wars it has waged on Gnosticism. When Maimonides waged a war against Gnosticism, his brand of rational Judaism lost the war to Kabbalah – which is nothing more than Jewish Gnosticism that aims to kill Yahweh and liberate Jews from the yoke of the devil (Kabbalah acknowledges that Yahweh is the devil).

On the political front, Communism is Gnosticism that has been secularized and then applied to the socio-political and economic domains. A heresy of Communism known as Fascism gave birth to Nazism which attempted to kill all Jews who remained in Europe after giving Jews the option to emigrate to Israel. This is why Gnosticism considers Adolf Hitler to be the Messiah ben Joseph that Jews have long been waiting for. However, there is a problem. Messiah ben Joseph is expected to kill 80% of Jews just like Yahweh who killed 80% of all Jews during the Exodus according to the Midrash (though some Midrashists argue that Yahweh killed 98% of all Israelites just before the Exodus). As it turns out, Yahweh is a blood-thirsty Semitic God who suffers no compunction about killing his own people (or slaves as Islam describes them). I find it intriguing that Yahweh was adopted in Islam as Allah, and Muslim terrorists who engage in suicide bombings always end their life with the proclamation, Allah Akbar. Here is a tease, if Yahweh is the Devil and Yahweh is Allah, what does that make Allah?

Now back to the figure of 80%. There was a notable report published by the New York Times on June 10, 1945, under the title 80% of Reich Jews Murdered By Nazis. That figure of 80% and 6 million will be explained later in relation to how modern Judaism conceives the redemption of Jews.

Foucaldian Regime of Knowledge

To Jews, a Foucaldian regime of knowledge is necessary for their survival. The holocaust is a regime of knowledge…
