1. Atheism

And now the top ten on the Tree of Evil (the Evil version of the Qaballa), per William G.Gray,published by Samuel Weiser, 1974 Pages 40,111,112.

"Whosoever struggles through the spheres of evil on their trees so far, is confronted by the last solid bastions of all: atheism. This is not what exactly what so many suppose, disbelief in a divine being displaying whatever qualities humans as a whole impute to it or Him/Her. Real atheism means refusal to recognize or live by the principles of perfection inherent in oneself. Abrogation of one's own true inner identity, and a consequently a deliberate denial of divinity in all else. It is as if anyone said: " I will not identify with the real self which is rightly mine at all. Instead I will break away and stay with the shapes I adopt for maybe many aeons. I know that in the end what I suppose 'myself' will disintegrate altogether and there will be no more of 'me'. However, I am willing to pay the price of extinction in exchange for all the engeries of life I may misuse during my chosen career through creation." Only a soul or self who is fundamentally aware of the divine entity can be a genuine atheist, since the qualification lies in the intention."

"Most of those on Earth describing themselves as atheist are nothing of the sort, since if they have not reached any realization of divinity they cannot possibly reject something so far in advance of their current condition." The most they could claim is a refusal to recognize or agree with other people's ideas of divinity or conventional religious outlooks. This is imitation atheism, often leading to sincere searches for spiritual experiences independently of creeds or customs and frequently rewarded with genuine realizations which raise self-hood so much higher up the Tree of Life. So far as evil-doers are concerned, atheism can be a dangerous two-edged sword turning against them if they strike a wrong blow. For that reason it is their last blast in there battle for being.

"Practical studies of human history have shown really expert evil-doers that the finest field for fostering the soundest similitudes of atheism among mankind is within the ranks of religion itself. There can barely be any greater deterrent for real human instincts toward individuation than the influence of intelligent agencies disseminating self-destructive doctrines through the mass-medium of evidently authorized religious concerns. Few things in this world are more likely to turn sincere selves from their search for divinity than the behavior of those claiming exclusive connections therewith. Granted this will probably lead to eventual Individuation in much more direct ways, but the confusion and delay involved benefits the "baddies" rather more immediately...."

"Therefore, if atheism can be "passed down the line" for consumption at ordinary levels of human life, it will work out as so much convenient grist to the "mills of malice." By discouraging or otherwise distracting mankind away from its main mission of seeking its self-salvation, evildoers have brought themselves a longer lease of the life they intend to enjoy just as long as energies are available. Their whole future depends on what we might well call "hi-jacked" or misappropriated supplies of energy from those entitled to apply it otherwise. The more they can compel,coerce, or cajole contributions of "free force" from the rest of creation, the more successfully they will be able to extend their "empire" and exploit fresh opportunities for building up their force-funds of "conscious capital." With sufficient energy behind them they can go on existing and exerting their influence for the rest of what we call "time." That is far too long for any satisfactory spiritual standards...."
