One single major world religion isn't going to win by war or conversion. By "major" I mean Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, etc. The majors
will war, but not convert ALL. The general mass social group religious fervor, the us vs. them group-think dynamics ensure it wont work...
The exception here is the New Age movement / religion, which often presents itself as 'not a religion', or if better suited it goes as 'its all the
same god' sneaky indoctrination tricks. It alone cant conquer all either, but it has the best model to achieve it as far as 'conventional religious
models' go.
Now couple New Age (which is based on, is founded upon proper esoteric occultism), with the looming upheavals technology is causing, and away we go.
The dynamism each possess alone, and together is the ultimate One World Religious Model.
Even if this new technological religion cant conquer the adults for a while, this new generation they are all doomed to fall into it. Unless somehow
they dont have phones / social media / video games / computers / etc (all of which are one in the same now and right in your pocket). All but the
Amish, and Amish'ish social outcasts are in line to be 'victims' of this diffusion of innovations.
Step by step, each new gaming console / PC CPU generation, etc, along with emerging technologies it's all too perfect of a 'natural' step by step
indoctrination to total VR / AI dependency (that nobody 'can go without'). It's so 'perfect', that in fact the big mouthpieces from the Transhumanism
(an actual religion specific to all of this) related movements cite it (Moore's Law, or more specifically
The Law of Accelerating Returns) in terms of being a sort of divine DESTINY. Where said
divinity too has its 'Promised Land' (AGI, VR, Technological Singularity, etc), preceded by 'prophecy' no less.
And sure enough the New Age Movement, decades ago started laying out 'its own prophecies' (as all real religions require them in their doctrine), and
sure enough those prophecies are exactly what is coming from the technology: "A transformation of consciousness", "hive-mind telepathy' and so on
along those lines. Things that sound like magic, which technology is right on the cusp of delivering.
Come to find out those same 'prophecies' from decades ago: in that same era the technologists were 'predicting' them too! Chicken or the egg?
Most of you probably recall the claims of the 2012 mania people. Well half of them talked about all that doomsday world blowing up stuff, but the
other half were talking about "the transformation of consciousness", which all of that noise was straight out of New Age Movement prophetic talking
points.
They were a bit ahead of the curve, as not even externally mounted VR gear wasn't quite ready yet, but who knows maybe Skynet was already online? I
know that the US governmental / military agencies (DARPA, NASA, etc) had 2012 in their public websites, white papers & such as their target year of
effectively booting up their cognitive computing systems (back around 2006 era I'm referring to).
So following this latest era of innovational diffusion, this trendy gear that has
the MAJOR flaw of messing up ones materialistic hair-do, will come the lack of wires. Of course at that stage of the tech it would also be able to do
more than merely read your 'thoughts'. Likewise, "Skynet" will be well along. "It" (or more accurately for the initial stages: They) could already be
beyond that of the movies at this point, for all we know.
All of this discussion (and more related) is in my brutalcore shock documentary film from 2006:
It was deliberately released on 6/6/06, as a sort of dark cynicism. And 10 years later this stuff is in the news everyday now and no one even bats an
eye. It's so ubiquitous it doesn't even cause concern. Of course this context herein, and in that video aren't something you're going to hear on the
news. Like proper Masonic'esque esotericism, its hidden in plain view; not even a secret; and 'nobody' has a clue.
For a more consise look into the tech side, my 2007 piece here is still the cutting edge piece in such regard, ever released:
This piece is a video rendition by another party, from my "AGI Manhattan Project" works from 2010:
The text is all still in my "Ignorance Is Futile" blog site, but shortly after I released that work my years-old accounts at Photobucket
(paid-account) & Youtube were wiped out without explanation or recourse, which neutered my multi-part visual aid heavy presentation work (including
their versions in ATS). But the tech side of this discussion is all REAL and right upon us now. The Story of the Millennium: The AGI Manhattan Project

Now couple New Age (which is based on proper esoteric occultism)
Isn't every Religion based on Esoteric Occultism. Esoteric Occultism just means Hidden Information for a limited audience. Or Hidden Truths for
People Wise Enough to Understand them. Or something along those lines.
That is exactly what Religion is and always comes from.
In other words, I know something you don't know (neener, neener).
Mysteries are indeed a requirement for religion, as differentiated from belief. Belief requires no special knowledge. In fact, knowledge would seem to
get in the way.

I see many worshipping at their hand held electronic altars.
This makes sense of the covert electronic harassment some experience. It's testing of the system ready for the mass, electronically enabled, religious
hysterias.
Fortunately the system was oversold by nervous salesmen and it's going to be a flop.
Many religions are based on jingling coins transferring from the pockets of the faithful to the pockets of the priests.
This is true. A typical way to get them coins transferring is by convincing others you know something they don't that is really really cool to know
and they can find out what it is too for a price.
Or maybe religion will fall by the wayside and people will no longer cling to the words of an ancient superstitious misguided and deluded desert
dwelling culture to cherry pick quotes from so they can prove that their side is right.
Maybe one day, enough people will have forgotten about all of those relics of the past, so that we can collectively start figuring out how this
universe really works.
This new age? One thing that is bringing it about is the profit motive. All this RD seeking bigger and brighter gizmos to sell to the masses
regardless of what it is doing to them. The profit motive, that old devil of capitalism is right there in the middle of all of this.

The irony of all this is: That (actual) general progress you lay out there is part of paving the way for the jist of what I'm getting at here. People
only caring about all the mainstream drivel, tied into their social media tech, is alone the greatest threats to the general formation of care and
therefore fervor into the ancient madness 'tech'.

If you don't 'get it' first time around, just pay again. You don't want to lose out, do you?
Well sure. As long as you can pay up there's always another chance at it. Kinda like a carnival until you run out of money. Then you get the boot
and have to watch other people ride the rides and have all the fun.
But it's not always money that you have to give. It can be anything really. Time, Work, Attention, first born child, toenail clippings. That's one
of the perks. It's can be custom fit if needed.
You accept help every day. don't act like you live in a box that is not affected by the outside world. You drive a car that was built by other people.
You didn't build your computer and you don't make your own clothes. You are very much part of the hive.
This makes sense, the internet is changing how people think according to some studies and it is making us think more like bees. This could be
perceived as man's "destiny" - something that we are growing into, like an adult form of a child.
Is the race of man meant to be telepathic and hive-oriented? Or are we under the rule of a new power, a new God for the new millennium and the new
Maya cycle?

And religion is gonna help this? They have tried to keep people's heads stuffed in a book of tall tales for the last few thousand years.
Tech has done more to ease suffering, prolong life, and advance our capabilities beyond anything any religion or spiritual teaching has or will ever
accomplish.
But the issue is collectively working out how the universe works. I maintain that's an individuals task. To agree to a consensus is to give up trying,
in my view. If the consensus was always right there would never be any development. The consensus on many issues is constantly changing, so it wasn't
right however many agreed with it.
The New Age consensus is achieved through trickery. Quote here from an ATS member with practical experience of the technique.
. . . with a skillful moderator almost any agenda can gain agreement even among diverse individuals and opinions. Most people are unaware that s a
structured process that being used on them . . .
