This book was inspired by the title of my grandfather’s first book, “Plato & the True Enlightener of the Soul” though the two books have very few (if any) similarities. This book tells us how most preachers and politicians are different from the true enlighteners of our souls/the prophets.      

Excerpts:

         It is extremely unlikely that, before going to bed, any preacher would consciously plan the evil s/he intends doing the following morning or get up in the morning and say, “Let me see what evil I can do today!” They too, like many politicians they influence,  actually believe that they know the truth and take it as their moral duty to guide the masses into their interpretation which they truly believe is good for each individual and for society as a whole.

         If we look at what Christ, the Messiah and the other true enlighteners of souls said, we discover the difference between the way they thought and how we have been trained to think about religion by parents, preachers, teachers and politicians…they were against hypocrisy and did not fear to talk about the Truth they had experienced even if it appeared to contradict established religious laws and beliefs.

          The scriptures need to cater to people of various intellects and in various stages of physical, mental and spiritual development. They attempt to serve all at their levels and we must get what is relevant to us e.g. a scripture might talk about the power and anger of God in an attempt to make a certain type of person fear God before s/he is fit enough for grace and love which may be the most important message of that scripture. Such a person e.g. a hardened criminal may have never understood the meaning of love and respect and has to learn to improve a little through the fear of God before s/he gets to the stage where the real message of love can get through.
