Comment on the Tolkien Allegory It is my understanding that a bet existed between Tolkien and CS Lewis with one writing a biblical fiction past and the other a biblical fiction future. Lord of the Rings was the future which most profoundly is Revelations.
The hypothesis that Tolkien was authoring a whistle blower narrative is interesting. The thought that entered my mind was about the ring and the rings. Tolkien used physical rings in the story but could they not represent what we call rings of conspirators in a pyramid structure of secrecy? The one "ring" at the top would be the only group that sees all. Sound familiar? The three rings might represent City of London, Vatican City, and Washington D.C. Money, Religion, and Force. These in turn control the next layer of seven. In Tolkien's time I am not sure what the seven and the nine might be but it is a curious train of thought.
Anyway, just thought I would share if any were interested.
Can you elaborate a bit more on revelations aspect of LOTR? And what part of bible does Alice in Wonderland represent?
CS Lewis was a cuck who also associated with L Ron Hubbard and Heinlein. His wife Joy was a ranking scientologist and member of the communist party.
Tolkien wanted nothing to do with Hubbard Heinlein or any Crowley associates
Modern commercial Christianity really almost deifies Lewis. Interestingly, Goldwin Sachs/CCP owned website Slickdeals regularly promote deals on his audiobooks (especially the non fiction)
so that all but proves to me, he was a black hat
Are you sure you’re not confusing him with Lewis Carroll, who wrote Alice in Wonderland.? I believe he was a horrible person who locked a little girl in a closet, and molested her.
CS Lewis wrote The chronicles of Narnia, the Screwtape letters, and mere Christianity, which is a Christian. I believe his wife died early in life, and he never remarried.

Not sure if Lewis was truly blackhat, but I also find his popularity with modern Christianity to be very odd. He was almost certainly a freemason initiate, his books are drenched in occult symbolism. There are many analysis writeups online describing the occult references in the Narnia books alone. I always liked him though despite this, especially the space trilogy.
So I thought I was back on the path to Christianity and you're telling me I'm listening to a charlatan? Feels like it's worth an OP as the man has quite a following on the .win network.
I mean there's inadvertent good IN the texts. Narnia is a fictonal allegory to The story of Jesus. Mere Christianity is a pretty compelling argument for Christianity from an objective viewpoint. And he was at some point purely acting in good faith, so you can still read what he wrote and get some good out of it
I guess the best way to put it is. Nietzsche spent his entire career criticizing Christianity and God, only to come to the conclusion life is meaningless without God and that nihilism is the greatest evil. Lewis spent his entire life lifting up Christianity, yet whenever he was confonted with evil, he did nothing.
The ties he made in life mean you should just be wary of making an idol of hIm. I've known people who study him the way they study their Bibles and most of what you need as a new or returning Christian is in that singular book. "No outside comms"
