In the beginning, God created man; ruled by his savage ego, which is why savagery was the norm – regretting this being, God brought a deluge, wiping out these barbarians – realizing that man’s savagery stems from the ego God gave him; God regretted wiping out mankind and promised to always allow humans to live – along came Abraham and realized, the only way to overcome our own savage, is to submit to God; along came Mosses and revealed an entire potpourria of mechanisms of how to submit to God – you see, there is/was a fundamental difference between Abraham and his children, for God spoke to Abraham, hence all he had to do was listen; but his children God didn’t speak to, so they need this “Artificial” diet, to submit to; but in the messianic era (which is beginning) God shall speak to all who seek him!
