Some god's are pretenders (parasites)
Once we give up on the notion of a separate god and wait for "him" to save us, we can then finally take responsibility for our connected creation as a united force that IS GOD in unity. (Not a separate creator but a connected one). If everything is god (including each one of us and like camera angles to a main, interconnected event) and I believe it is from experience, then we truly fragment ourselves and our power along with it when we fall for old paradigms of a fractured self (daddy god and "his" creation story). A story that was seeded along with other fracturing stories that break the interconnected oneness and effectively turn us into victims as a result as we wait to be saved or we wait for heaven or we wait for x,y,z (common carrots leading us through a myriad of spiritual paradigms).
What I think has happened, as well as a few others who have gone beyond the usual spiritual trappings, is that this creation has been either seeded or taken over by "energetic"
parasites that feed off of pain and suffering. I have heard of people who have witnessed these entities. They are like black holes that feed off of dark energy (negative emotions). In order to harvest this energy they do everything to tweak our reality in order to effectively farm this. Not many people are ready to face this and would rather wait around for the held out promise of spiritual teddy bears that will never come. In effect spiritual carrots leading sheep ever onwards to a never ending destination while continually harvesting dark food. You may have noticed these obvious patterns in our reality;-)
So many spiritual paradigms attempt to explain this struggle and suffering but fall short. Even nature has been 'set up" for struggle to survive. Again we can see the commonality in this throughout reality at all levels. Struggle and the energy that it gives off. We also see the effort to ensure this continues, especially among the human populations. It goes beyond greed as to why people are starving and wars are fought and animals are slayed in in inhumane ways (blood sacrifice)on a large scale. Why toxic chemicals are trumped up. Why people are methodically tortured through covert methods such as the medical industry, medical (psychological torture), and other crafty ways to poke and prod at souls to give off dark energy to feed those that it sustains. They are inter-dimensional
parasites that require a certain 'flavor" of energy and our wired into this reality to get it.
Shamans have seen this. Tribal elders have seen this. Many on deep spiritual paths (beyond the laid out spiritual traps0 have witnessed this. it is a common thread and it explains what the laid out paradigms will never explain (by design).
I think you are starting to get a sense of this yourself. I can say that there is no one god in control of this (think about it, if there was a 'separate" god who allowed this carnage this would make "him" worse than all the
parasites and dark energies combined. No my friend it is ALL god. We are god. The trees are god and so are the parasites. if we don't like where our creation is going then we must steer the ship in a new direction. We must stop listening to the lies laid out before us outside ourselves (spiritual traps) and begin the journey back to balance (heaven) and that is up to US, not "jesus" or "buddha" or "rip van winkle. You and I and anyone else who is ready to redirect the flow of energy to a state of harmony and balance.
