This essay I actually wrote!

The core of all religion is a sense of Absolute Dependence and connectedness. It is the core of religion, but it is not exclusive to religion. It is actually this sensation which is God. But this sensation also occurs in species-consciousness. The replacement of Deity, an illusory being, with man's True Self, man's Species-Being, is the next stage in the evolution of Human self-consciousness. Man was hitherto aware of Himself only in an idealised form, in the form of God. Man saw only the reflection of an idealised Self in Heaven. Species-conciousness is Man's awareness of Himself in His reality. But because there is still this sense of Absolute Dependence Man becomes God. God is dying, and Man must now take his role. Only without God and by heightening man's consciousness by increasing the Creative Ability can Man be the Master of everything Who decided everything. Man creates His own laws and lives by His own laws. Man in his True Self, the Species-being, then is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient.

"Religion is only the illusory Sun which revolves around man as long as he does not revolve around himself."

-Karl Marx

We must bring man to the state of full species-consciousness, and this can only be done by the Teachings of fully evolved species-beings. If Man does not become a fully evolved species-being soon, egoistic man - man who has no species-consciousness - will effect the destruction of mankind. Pollution, nuclear warfare, exploitation, genocide - all of this occurs only when humans are dehumanised, i.e., when the people responsible for these crimes do not have SPECIES-CONSCIOUSNESS. We need to heighten the species-consciousness of mankind or we will all perish. And our species-consciousness is declining.

The theory of species-being was first developed by Feuerbach. But I disagree with his conception of it. According to Ixabert, it has not existed for all eternity, or ever since Man existed; it is a stage in the evolution of human self-consciousness, both on a collective, i.e. historical, and on an individual, i.e. psychological level. Feuerbach however would say it is an essential and necessary trait of Man which distinguishes Him from the 'animals'. The idea of Aboslute Dependence is a theory of the theologian Schleiermacher, but I creatively apply it to my unique, upated understanding of species-being. I distort Karl Marx's conception of religion to fit into my teachings. There are also elements of the Juche Idea in my teachings. That Man, as a result of fully developed species-consciousness, becomes omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient, is my own idea; I do not merely assert this: I deduce it. My teaching is more than a synthesis; it is a creative and original idea in its own right.

So, on which side are you?

Are you for self-extermination?

or are you for the rebirth of Man?

Are you for egoistic man?

or are you for Man Who is a Species-Being?

Are you for the man of civil society?

or are you for Divine Man?

Do you want birth? Do you want to reinvent yourself?

or to dust return?

On whcih side are YOU?

If you are for Birth, the birth of Man Who decides everything and lives by His own law, an all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-present Man, there will be a spot for you in the future.

If you think what I am saying is contrary to God's law, or if it otherwise conflicts with your beliefs, to dust you shall return.

Settle down there Mr. Ubermensch...it's been said before by someone much more eloquent.

Sometimes I ask myself, why do I even bother to post on this forum of angst-ridden teenagers whose pitiful comprehension my teachings transcend?

It has not been said by anyone. There are elements of the Juche Idea in my teaching, but it is not quite the Juche Idea. The idea of species-being is in my teaching, but my conception of it is very different from the man who first developed the theory. The idea of Absolute Dependence is part of my teaching, but it too is VERY different from the man who first developed the theory of Absolute Dependence. The moment of fully developed Species-consciousness being the moment of man's divinity is 100% my own idea.

You mention the word 'Ubermensch'; I ask why, since Nietzsche I borrowed no ideas from Nietzsche (only Feuerbach, Schleiermacher, Marx, and Kim Il Sung).

Secular Humanists (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secular_humanism) beat you to it!

You may not have intended to borrow from him, but your idea sounds rather like his ubermensch BS. Essentially, you're praising narcissistic drives as the perfection of the human species.

Wrong, the secular humanists are just that - SECULAR. Secularism contradicts my teachings 100%. Secular humanists, moreover, do not judge that SPECIES-CONSCIOUS man is divine IN THE PROPER SENSE OF THE TERM. They just say he is very very important, AT ANY STAGE IN THE EVOLUTION OF SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS. I say that man acquires value ONLY at a certain STAGE in the evolution of his SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS, both on a biographical and on an historical level i.e., when he collectively or individually becomes a SPECIES-BEING. I say that non-species-being humans do not have a right to exist; secular humanists would say they do, just because they are humans. VERY DIFFERENT PHILOSOPHIES INDEED! NOTHING COULD BE MORE DIFFERENT. I DISAGREE WITH ALMOST EVERY THESIS OF SECULAR HUMANISM.
