The Inquisition And Free Speech
An Inquisition was a procedure where the authorities could initiate, investigate and try cases, with the aim of combating heresy, apostasy and blasphemy by disbelievers who were considered to be deviants.
If we don’t see this coming, then we are already self-censoring through small talk, having been manipulated to chat about nothing but trifles. Few, if any of us, truly communicate. Even in modern day spiritual groups, people cannot or do not talk outside the box.
We may join a ‘spiritual’ group because we have questions, and what happens? We adopt their form and speech patterns, and those old questions become shelved at the back our minds.
We are not ruled by enlightened beings; we are just ruled 🙂
Ruled: marked with parallel straight lines.
It is the enlightened who escape this stupidity which is everywhere.
