Re: SHOGGOTH as a social and religious metaphore

j.d.yes i will add a citation although its not imminently clear how i expanded this to here:
"the mad author of necronomicon had nervously tried to swear that none had been bred on this planet and that only drugged dreamers had even conceived them.formless protoplasm able to mockand reflect all forms and organs and processes-viscous agluttinations of bubbling cells -rubbery fifteen-foot spheroids infinitely plastic and ductile- slaves of suggestion,builders of cities-more and more sullen ,more and more intelligent,more and more amphibious,more and more imitative!great god!what madness made even those blashpemous old ones willing to use and carve such things!"
ok.i talked about the process of "enlightenment",a process of subjugating freedom of will and mind,control of individuality and hypnosis of spiritual activity and critical judgment.
into deeper waters now-this process of enlightenment has been used by all societies and civilizations:it is more asphyxiating and definite as much as the given society is less culturated ,more primitive as much as a contradiction that seems.a very illustrating examble are the ancient cultures and pretty much "enlightenment" exists from when history was first written.....in ancient greece for examble all who didn,t practice the ancient greek customs and have greek ancestry were given the degrading characterization "barbarian".this was one of the first things kids of any sex learned in ancient greek families and schools:skythians were barbarians but not only them-also egyptians,first romans,persians,and even .....jews were considered such even though of advanced somewhat culture!also jews were teaching their offspring that anyone else doesnt belong in the chosen race and even the primitive tribe of Vandals considered other tribes and nations as heretics,forcing this state of mind into everyone of their tribe.
AN EVEN MORE PERFECT examble are the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century:the communistic regime of past e.s.s.r used very well hypnosis on their inhabitants beginning from lifestyle ,religious culture ,cancelling any individuality all for the so called "good of the people",using phrases like "freedom","equality","national pride" and many likewise.....but in my opinion the time that the process of "enlightenment" took a very dangerous turn .....was when it was transformed to its religious version:the "HOLY ENLIGHTENMENT" IN THE WESTERN WORLD ,the christianised nations,in one word the so called "HOLY GHOST"......
HOLY GHOST the symbol of life and charisma for the christian logic and one of the three persons of the holy trinity,was THE GREATEST ATTEMPT ,AT INFORCING the enlightenment!!!and still is......
the holy ghost descends upon its subjects and express the will of god ,usually his favorness UPON THEM granting them various gifts beginning from intelligence ,then to extraordinary luck or longliving,and not just those....all christianity is blessed through the baptism of a baby and the grace of the holy spirit not long after its birth!a symbolic act of bringing charisma and fortune to the child.in other words the baby IS ENLIGHTENED in the presence of god!!this ENLIGHTENMENT is the first act of the newborn entering and adjusting to this society,a DECLARING, A STATEMENT that he belongs with all the other ENLIGHTENED before him....through receiving the "HOLY ENLIGHTENMENT"-thus the holy ghost -the individual becomes a participant to the sanctified mystery of the holy trinity ,he is "enlightened" by the truth of god making him thus "SUPERIOR" to any other religious or non-religious group......a gifted man according to the christian church,with spiritual superiority executing god"s will,his actions against non-believers many times guided by god"s hand ,either this concerns forgiveness or -usually...-not.these past years we witnessed a similar logic expressed by the president of u.s.a george bush -a very religious man as he states -when he tried to "enlighten" everyone with the so-called existence of the "AXIS OF EVIL".a presentation of things that gave him an argument and a de-facto right to attack and invade the "evil" nations of apghanistan and iraq,it would be iran too if he had the chance.......many journalists and many not one of those,paralleled these arguments to some equivalent ones before the start of the first crusade during the middle age by the western leaders of the time.of-course the process of "ENLIGHTENMENT" is a lot stronger in the islamic countries and their attitudes to non-believers even more agressive than that of the western politicians......
the holy enlightenment was an effort of creating a sanctified individual ,an effort of creating holiness and sanctity on earth but for giving human existence the sense of purpose and telealogic role in the course of history and of all things to come. it made him feel the center of the universe ,made him feel self-righteous to interfere in any possible way in his surroundings ,living things or not.THE HOLY ENLIGHTENMENT gave man what he wanted from the beginning of when and where he first walked the earth:
to feel self-purposed ,his existence full of meaning and significance,all-powerfull and self-righteous ,self-guided and intependent in his own right.......simply THE GREATEST DECEPTION IN HUMANITY"S HISTORY!!!!simply put it was humanity 's best effort to CONTROL everything around it -still is....-to control its future ,to control things to come ,history itself and through this hypnosis of self-righteousness to BECOME THE ULTIMATE BEING ,maybe equal to GOD!!!THE FINAL PURPOSE IS A VERY BENEFITING AND ADVANTAGING :that of "THEOSIS".that is the hidden truth behind the holy enlightenment!the VANITY OF GOD SELF-CREATION AND ETERNAL BLISS,nothing else -certainly not love ,rependance or goodness...................
so the "shoggoth" counteracts this holy enlightenment ,both by its evolutional concept as a bringer of randomized life and charisma on its spawns including humanity but also in this :self -awareness, rebellion against any hypnotic suggestion of a highly spirit :god or satan ,the same thing....thus it becomes an anti-spirit symbol,an anti-ghost -of any ghost "good" or "evil".....!!,a symbol for individuality"s independence and true autonomy!!.
