The Dialectic of Jesus and Lao Tsu

 Tao (The Way) that can be spoken of is not the Constant Tao’

The name that can be named is not a Constant Name.

Nameless, is the origin of Heaven and Earth;

The named is the Mother of all things.

Thus, the constant void enables one to observe the true essence.

The constant being enables one to see the outward manifestations.

These two come paired from the same origin.

But when the essence is manifested,

It has a different name.

This same origin is called “The Profound Mystery.”

As profound the mystery as It can be,

It is the Gate to the essence of all life.

Verse one of the Tao introduces us to the Dialectical Method. Dating back to Socrates and Plato, the Dialectical Method has been described as a philosophical tool used to establish truth, through logic and reasoning. The nature of this philosophical construct is triadic, consisting of three elements, thesis, anti-thesis and synthesis. It presents one with a thesis, an anti-thesis, and alleges to reconcile these two conflicting paradigms in synthesis, representing truth. You may know it as the Hegelian Dialect.

The problem with this definition is evidence. Eighteenth century philosopher, Emmanuel Kant, stumbled upon this dialectic process, in his studies of the Hebrew Cannon and wrote: “The ancient Greeks used the word "dialectic" to signify the logic of false appearance or semblance. To the Ancients, "it was nothing but the logic of illusion. It was a sophistic art of giving to one's ignorance, indeed even to one's intentional tricks, the outward appearance of truth, by imitating the thorough, accurate method which logic always requires, and by using its topic as a cloak for every empty assertion.” Subsequently, Kant’s discovery of this dialectic process was studied and utilized by philosopher George Hegel, of the Holy Roman Empire’s Order of the Eagle, and embraced by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, authors of the Communist Manifesto. George Orwell’s book, Animal Farm, attempts to expose the Dialectical Method used by Joseph Stalin, during the communist takeover of Russia. Kant referred to the Dialectical Method he discovered, as “The logic of illusion”, an apt description of Marxist propaganda.

Evidence suggests that the Dialectical Method is not a process of logic by which truth can be reached, but rather a sophisticated method of false reasoning, by which deception can be entrenched.

Lao Tzu, in the very first verse of the Tao Te Ching, gives us the keys to understanding this deceptive form of logic and reducing its influence. He first informs us that the name of a thing is not that thing. He enjoins us to separate the identifying language of things from their actual nature.   Language identifiers that name, label, or describe things, can change over time, due to the declination of language, hegemony, era, culture, dialect, location, deception or translation. Therefore, language identifiers are transient, changeable, and not constant or eternal.  The essence, or nature, of a thing does not change, and is therefore, that which is constant, or eternal.  Lao Tzu instructs us to look beyond the transient nature of language identifiers, or names, and examine and judge things by their true nature, or essence, which is constant.

Interestingly, Jesus, the Great Tao Master, taught the same thing. He taught us to recognize his followers by their works, their deeds, their nature, and not by names or labels. Jesus clearly understood the dialectical process.  He called himself the WAY, a direct reference to the Tao of peace. The Sons of Moses, who stoned adulteresses and beheaded blasphemers, also referred to themselves as the Way.  Jesus understood that anyone could name themselves the Way, the righteous and wicked alike, and that identifying the Way by its name would end in deception, every time. Therefore, he taught his followers to distinguish the true Way by its works, its essence, its nature, and not its name. Jesus refused to even grace God with a name, but informed us of the nature and character of god, which he described as that of a loving father. He spoke in parables that addressed the unchanging nature of wolves, sheep, pearls and pigs, to circumvent deceptive dialectics and teach us to judge things by their eternal nature, rather than by their transient names.

One of my favorite Names verses Nature stories is found in the Old Testament. Moses, the Levite, was a servant of Allah. This is an undisputed fact the world over, except in America, where the name of Allah has been changed, or hidden, through translation of the text. The translators changed the Arabic name of Allah to read, in English, “burnt offering and sacrifice”.  We find then, that when Moses built the altar of “burnt offering and sacrifice”, Moses built the altar of Allah. When Moses delivered the law of “burnt offering and sacrifice”, Moses delivered the law of Allah, which in Arabic, is called Sharia, but in Hebrew, is called Torah.

Right before Moses entered into the Land of Canaan, he changed the name of Allah to Jehovah. It was an act of deceit.  The Canaanites, who worshipped a female deity called the Adonai Jehovah, dwelt in peace and liberty, and refused to allow the sons of Allah into their land, fearing their barbaric laws that required the beheading of blasphemers, the stoning to death of children, and demanded tribute. In order to gain access to the land of Canaan, Moses changed the name of Allah to Jehovah, and the Canaanites, trusting he was a fellow believer, let him in. It was a fatal error.

Moses was a master of the dialectical process, which is to say, a master of deception. In his mouth, Allah, who demanded tribute, became Jehovah, who collected tithes. When we take Lao Tzu’s advice, and examine the nature behind these words, we discover Allah and Jehovah represent polar opposites, a thesis and an anti-thesis. Allah, God of Moses, had the nature of a wolf. He killed blasphemers, waged bloody jihad against the nations, stole lands, exacted  tribute and destroyed Liberty. Jehovah had the nature of a sheep. She did not kill her own children, but was the preserver, or savior of life and liberty. Through the Dialectical process called synthesis, Moses used sophistry and deceptive reasoning, to convince the Canaanites these two opposing paradigms represented a single deity, with a dualistic nature.  Tithes and Tribute have the exact same nature, but through the Dialectical process, Moses managed to convince the Canaanites that these identical concepts were polar opposites.

The Canaanites were overthrown twice, first by the Dialectical Method, through the synthesis of language, the changing of names, the labeling of opposites as the same, and identical things as different. Once they had accepted these lies, and let the enemy in the gate, they were overthrown by violence, from within. This is the same method by which Mao overthrew China, and Stalin overthrew Russia. Soviet era defector and ex KGB agent, Yuri Bezmenov, named this process, demoralization. The Bible refers to it as corruption, pollution and profanity. It is the Dialectic process of propaganda or political correctness, by which your values, morals and ethics are deliberately eroded through language restructuring. Isaiah testifies beautifully of this destructive process:

[Isa 5:20, 23 KJV] 20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! ... 23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

[Isa 29:16 KJV] 16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?

Isaiah describes a demoralized society as an upside down world, in which the synthesis of thesis and anti-thesis, or good and evil, was complete. Those who did evil were rewarded with wealth, status, praise, honor and position, while those who were righteous were demonized and abused. Good was evil and evil was good and they could not tell right from wrong. This Dialectic deception, or demoralization, had been so successful that people in Jerusalem could look at two polar opposites, Jesus and Barabbas, and proclaim the righteous son of god more wicked than a murderer. They could look at two identical things, the Saggisees and the Pharisees, and proclaim one group righteous and reject the other as evil.  Demoralization is a political tool with which one blinds the eyes of a nation, by controlling it’s language, reframing its definitions, and politicizing speech, as hateful, defamatory, or politically correct. It was the job of Jesus, the Christ, to de-synthesize what had been synthesized, to divide good from evil, light from dark and bitter from sweet, to open the eyes of a people who had been deceived and blindly rewarded vice while demonizing virtue. Jesus’ job was to destroy the dialectic. He did this, by using parables to describe things by their nature, rather than their names, because the names had been changed to perpetrate the deception.

This is the same method by which Communists are currently attempting to overthrow America. They no longer call themselves communists, however. They have a new name. They call themselves globalists. The words Catholic, globalist, and communist all have the exact same meaning and can be used interchangeably. They are merely three different language words describing the same thing: that which is universal, or global.  If we examine the nature of these three, we find they are identical in their essence. All three represent oppressive systems of theft that demand tribute.  Globalists have named this system of theft wealth sharing or income equality. Catholics call it tithes. Communists call it income redistribution or taxation. Regardless of its name, the nature of this theft is the same. Jesus was born into a system of global tribute, head quartered in Jerusalem. Luke 2:1 states that “In those days a decree went out from Ceasar (Kaiser) Augustus that ALL THE WORLD, the entire inhabited earth, should be TAXED, or put under tribute. This was the beginning of Ceasar’s attempt at a new world order. In the following years, while Jesus was in Egypt, Jerusalem was systematically corrupted and polluted by a process of demoralization. This was the first death. Jesus came to resurrect the dead and warned them of the second death, the physical destruction of Jerusalem, from within, which occurred in 70 A.D.

We find then, that these three systems, Catholicism, globalism and Communism, have exactly the same origin and are of the same nature.  These three divisions originate from one source, a thief, who comes to kill, steal and destroy.  When we divide a single element into three identical parts, and give each part a new name, we create a false dichotomy, an illusion of division, where no division exists.  We can use this false dichotomy to create the appearance of opposition, where harmony exists.  We can benevolently offer the illusion of choice, when all choices lead to the same origin, or result. We can use this false dichotomy to create the illusion of thesis and anti-thesis, between things that are identical in nature and origin. This division of one source, into many homogenous factions, allows the creation of a false reality, that when established as fact, gives birth to delusion and blindness. We must not only understand things by their nature, we must understand their origin.

In the dialectical method, thesis and anti-thesis represent paired opposites. Once we understand the nature of thesis and anti-thesis, we find the Dialectical Model can be represented by absolutely any pairing of opposites, such as light and dark, morning and  evening,  good and evil, or bitter and sweet. Lao Tzu chose to represent thesis and anti-thesis using the opposites of Heaven and Earth.

 Jesus used wolves and sheep to demonstrate oppositional forces.  In true dialectic form, he established a thesis, sheep, which never kill, and an anti-thesis, wolves, which must kill.  He warned that the synthesis of these two conflicting paradigms would result in the destruction of the sheep, from within, and the establishment of the wolves. In other words, the wolves were going to assume the identity of the sheep, call themselves by the name of sheep, enter into the sheep fold, and devour the sheep, from within the sheepfold. This is the method Moses used to overthrow the land of Canaan.  Thus, Lao Tzu warns us not to judge things by their names, but by their nature.

There has been quite some misunderstanding on the nature of good and evil, as taught by Lao Tzu. Many have interpreted his teachings to say there is no difference between good and evil, right and wrong, that these things come from the same origin.  Lao Tzu makes a clear distinction between thesis and anti-thesis, the yin and the yang, good and evil, that which is eternal, or constant and that which is changing, or transient.  That which is eternal does not divide itself. It creates no divisions, no false dichotomies, no illusions within itself. That which is not eternal, but transient, or changing, creates divisions, false dichotomies, illusions and deceptions, within itself. His teaching is that the nature of the eternal is one nature, it is not divided or dualistic and does not change. God is all light and in him is no darkness, duality or turning.  Darkness, duality, division and change are the realm of that which is not eternal.

The world currently lies under the influence of global synthesis. Never has Lao Tzu’s instruction been more pertinent or needed. If we ignore the biblical dialectic concerning Moses, and look at his nature, we find that he is a wolf, not a sheep. He is not a Christ, but an anti-Christ. Moses and Christ represent thesis and anti-thesis, polar opposites. Synthesis of these two results in the destruction of Christianity, and the establishment of the Law of Moses, which is Levitical law, or Sharia law.
