As someone who has studied what I call, “popular religion” for quite sometime, I have come to the inevitable conclusion that most, if not all the people who participate in such really have no idea what exactly they are involved in. In previous postings I have proven and explained in great detail that most, if not all, of the “popular religious” traditions that people follow have no origin in the bible. Mostly none of them. Christmas, not there. Fallen Angels, not there. Chosen, not there. 12 tribes, not there. Rapture, not there. End Times, not there. Messiah, not there. The list goes on and on.
I covered this previously because I truly believe that individual people, and society as a whole should comprehend exactly what they are involved with. Full disclosure. Why? Because it is Messianic fanaticism, a form of violent extremism, a violent psychosis that masquerades as “popular religion,” and people have no idea. The people think it’s “all legit,” as they blindly follow each CREATED DISASTER as “divine prophesy.” Even though manifestly it ain’t. Strange?
The Rapture of Nothingness
I know, I know, I know, people are going to be “feeling some type of way” about this musing of nothingness. I know that people “emotionally ensnared” within the “religious paradigm” are going to take offense, however as a student on a quest for knowledge, I cannot let offensive things narrow my mind. I have to uptake the information before making a judg…
The people truly practice a form of “religion” that they themselves have “hobbled together” over the centuries, and they believe it to be based in “something divine.” Nothing could be farther from the truth. It’s not, it is venerating a unknown “thing.” I have spent numerous hours researching this topic from sundry angles, for and against. It is not an easy topic to “hash out,” because there are so many facets to this “veneration of the unknown.” It is so pervasive and endemic. There is however a foundation from where this “thing” originated from, to wit, “Babylon.”
Now, how does the previous video make someone feel? Does it make one feel positive, neutral or negative? That is the question. Each person will feel different, however most of them will have no knowledge of what they actually were viewing, the symbology of it, or how it pertains to them. I will not explain all “that,” because to each it may mean something different. How does it “generally” pertain to them? It is at the root of what they call “their religion.” Most don’t know it and thus, “Unknown Veneration.”
I have researched this topic and spent many hours “hashing out” my position. My A.I. generated report of that research is here:
Unknown Veneration Personality Disorder (UVPD): A Psychiatric-Legal and Historical Analysis
Executive Summary
This report introduces and formalizes the concept of Unknown Veneration Personality Disorder (UVPD)—a psychological, moral, and societal condition characterized by the pathological worship of unknown or obscured religious constructs. This disorder is shown to be induced historically through theological authoritarianism, doctrinal deception, and institutionalized suppression of knowledge. This report includes psychiatric parallels, personal and societal impacts, and a historical timeline tracing the development of UVPD as a mass psychological phenomenon. Supporting ecclesiastical documents and testimonies are provided in the appendices.
I. Definition and Diagnostic Summary
Unknown Veneration Personality Disorder (UVPD) is a proposed condition marked by the persistent pattern of devotion to unverified, misunderstood, or obscured religious concepts enforced through fear, guilt, and institutional coercion. UVPD differs from benign spirituality or symbolic reverence; it is instead a manifestation of indoctrinated dependency on unknowable authority figures or divine constructs, reinforced by authoritarian religious systems.
Key Diagnostic Traits:
Blind submission to sacred authority
Cognitive dissonance when exposed to contradicting evidence
Internalization of guilt, fear, or divine punishment
Identity fusion with religious institutions
Suppression of moral autonomy
Hostility to dissent or critical inquiry
II. Psychiatric Classification and Related Disorders
Unknown Veneration Personality Disorder (UVPD) does not currently appear in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), but it demonstrates significant symptomatic overlap with recognized psychological conditions. This section presents a comparative analysis to establish UVPD's psychiatric plausibility as a distinct disorder that is not merely personal but reinforced at institutional and societal levels.
UVPD in Comparison with Established Disorders
While UVPD exhibits traits consistent with Delusional Disorder (Religious Type), Dependent Personality Disorder, and Schizotypal Personality Disorder, it must be distinguished from these by its unique combination of communal reinforcement, theological context, and moral manipulation. For example:
Delusional Disorder (Religious Type) includes fixed false beliefs involving divine themes, but UVPD involves socially reinforced illusions, often upheld by religious institutions, not solitary delusions.
Dependent Personality Disorder features submissive and clinging behaviors. UVPD similarly reflects obedience to religious authority but stems from indoctrination rather than personality deficits.
Schizotypal Personality Disorder includes magical thinking and odd beliefs, which may appear similar to UVPD’s faith-based fixations. However, UVPD beliefs are culturally embedded and reinforced, not neurologically derived.
In sum, UVPD operates across cognitive, emotional, and behavioral domains—producing a submissive moral psychology that is embedded in broader cultural frameworks. It can be viewed as a form of institutionally-induced personality dependency shaped by historical theology and maintained through emotional manipulation, sacred imagery, and spiritual fear conditioning.
III. Historical and Theological Origins
The development of UVPD has deep roots in ecclesiastical history. It reflects a gradual process in which religious institutions accrued monopoly control over sacred knowledge, moral legitimacy, and individual conscience.
Theological and political events that contributed to UVPD include:
The Council of Nicaea (325 CE): Marked the beginning of doctrinal enforcement. Competing theological views (e.g., Arianism) were suppressed to create orthodoxy.
The Inquisition (12th–19th c.): Enabled the institutionalization of fear and pain as tools of "spiritual correction," fostering long-term submission among populations.
Colonial evangelization: Christian missionaries were granted legal and theological permission to convert Indigenous peoples by force, erasing cultures under the pretense of salvation.
Council of Trent (1545–1563): Enshrined the Latin Mass, clerical authority, and the necessity of Church mediation for salvation. Personal spiritual insight was diminished in favor of clerical interpretation.
UVPD thus emerged from centuries of religious authoritarianism, theological suppression, and cultural violence. This framework suppressed critical thought and moral agency while rebranding control and obedience as divine virtues.
IV. Psychological Consequences
Individual Effects
UVPD exacts profound emotional and cognitive costs on individuals. Those suffering from it are often unable to distinguish between healthy spirituality and inherited religious trauma. Their internal moral compass is overridden by external doctrines, especially when those doctrines claim infallibility or eternal consequences.
Symptoms may include:
Moral paralysis: An inability to act ethically outside institutional guidance
Chronic guilt: Arising from internalized notions of sin or impurity
Fear-based behavior: Decisions driven by fear of divine punishment rather than rational outcomes
Cognitive dissonance: Especially when historical evidence or personal experience conflicts with doctrine
These symptoms often resemble trauma responses, indicating that UVPD may overlap with religious abuse syndromes and complex PTSD in cases of extreme indoctrination.
V. Societal Impacts
UVPD, when widespread, has enabled institutional crimes, justified oppression, and inhibited moral progress. Societies dominated by religious absolutism often substitute institutional loyalty for ethical judgment, leading to:
Mass delusions: Entire populations accept morally absurd doctrines (e.g., salvation through conquest, divine support for slavery)
Theocratic oppression: Civil law merges with religious law, criminalizing dissent and difference
Education suppression: Scientific and historical facts are subverted to preserve theological control (e.g., Galileo’s trial)
Cultural genocide: Indigenous practices and identities are erased under the banner of spiritual conquest
In modern times, UVPD plays out through religious nationalism, conspiracy-theological movements, and cultic behaviors that maintain mass psychological control while resisting moral reform or fact-based understanding.
VI. Legal and Ethical Implications
UVPD raises pressing questions for legal ethics, especially regarding religious fraud, abuse, and informed consent. When individuals are indoctrinated into theological systems without full knowledge, clarity, or ability to dissent, their capacity for informed spiritual consent is compromised.
Potential legal consequences:
Clergy abuse: Victims may remain silent due to UVPD-related fear of excommunication or divine retribution
Religious fraud: Institutions may be held accountable for exploiting UVPD to extract wealth, labor, or silence
Cult litigation: UVPD explains the psychological hold used to maintain unlawful religious organizations
Recognizing UVPD as a legal framework offers new grounds for psychological defense, restitution, and religious trauma support.
VII. Remediation and Reform
To prevent or treat UVPD, interventions must be both clinical and societal. The goal is to rebuild moral agency, historical awareness, and spiritual autonomy:
Recommendations:
Educational initiatives: Integrate critical theology and religious history into curricula
Therapeutic support: Cognitive-behavioral therapy and trauma-informed care for those recovering from institutional religion
Legal reform: Require transparency and full disclosure from religious institutions regarding history and doctrine
Spiritual reintegration: Create frameworks where personal conscience, empathy, and reason are restored as sacred
Addressing UVPD is not merely about psychiatry—it is a cultural and civil rights issue.

Conclusion
Unknown Veneration Personality Disorder (UVPD) is the logical outcome of centuries of religious, psychological, and institutional design. It is both a mental health hazard and a societal operating condition, perpetuated by systemic deception and reinforced through ritual, fear, and political theology. Its identification, documentation, and remediation are essential to spiritual recovery, moral clarity, and historical accountability.

I would just like to say that anyone who has “walked with me” on this musing of nothingness, they have to realize that it is time to move forward in an intellectual way. I mean, people want to read salacious details that titillate and stimulate their base mind. I get it, but that was “two years ago.” Just like martial arts, there are levels of progression. Anyone who has been around has progressed, and part of that further progression is going to be delving into tough topics from a legal, academic and psychological perspective. Now is not the time for games.
The time for just accepting religious paradigms is over. Specifically since history has evidenced that it is not what it presents itself to be. People, I believe, are not going to unravel the yoke around their minds without specific details and specific proofs. I want to assist with that. It’s not about disconnecting from The Source of All Creation, but connecting with it unimpeded. A baby is born without religion, without sin, and with All Mighty God built right in. Who, or what changed that? Who, or what changed the bright eyes, the innocence, the gentle laughter of the baby? Who, or what changed what was “built right in,” and made it external? Who, or what ruined that?
When that can be answered truthfully while looking in the mirror, then the first step towards individual healing begins. This I believe.
