My Journey From Illness And Despair Towards Truth

Kevin Smith

An awakening

Whether religious or not, I think many readers here will relate to some of these experiences.

In 2014 I was working for a UK organization which adjudicates financial disputes. The work was interesting, but the organization was going through a structural change which made no sense. Our work began to be micro-managed and woke ideology started creeping into the office.

That same year, I collapsed and was very ill from a major bleed due to a duodenal ulcer. It wasn’t really what is known as a near-death experience (NDA) but during my recovery I felt different spiritually and used the time to reflect on life. Before I hadn’t embraced any one religion but was always open-minded.

In 2017, under a new tyrannical manager, for the first time I pushed back. I documented the bullying and told the organization to leave me alone to do my job. They agreed and, overnight, my stress disappeared and a confidence I’d never had helped me to become a trade union representative, join the organization’s Christian Fellowship and even the Muslim Book Club.

I was always interested in geopolitics and history and attended some outside work events discussing the war on Syria and the part played by the Western media in distorting the truth in successive wars. After my first event, I sensed a cloud lift and a feeling of vindication of my views. I felt destined to write about it all. I published many articles in independent media about Syria, religion, the mainstream media and mental health.

Meanwhile, at work the toxicity increased and while I was coping better, I was relieved to be offered voluntary redundancy to pursue my further research and writing.

After a year’s ‘honeymoon period’ of feeling liberated from the control freaks, the ‘pandemic’ landed. I could see instantly the lockdowns and other measures made no sense, so I researched hard, particularly around the globalists, their secret societies and malign influence on world events. To my horror I realized the world was in the grip of a coup.

So, I started writing about it and by April 2021 suspected there was a depopulation agenda, a deliberate destruction of small business, planned social and economic collapse, demographic engineering, introduction of digital currencies and Chinese style social credit. Also, an agenda to prepare us for climate lockdowns to control movement.

It was also evident there was a plan to further normalize transgender ideology and sexualize children.

I learned these agendas are rooted in history and interconnected. The tactics used were to create a crisis, division and distraction then offer a solution out of the chaos. Ultimately, to make us fearful, compliant, dependent and under their control, for example, through food scarcity and orchestrated financial implosion.

Since mid-2021 I’ve thrown myself into more research, including around the Covid injection side-effects. I recently decided to try to put some of my current thoughts in writing. Not because much of this information is not already out there – more so because I think it’s often useful to gather all the moving parts and put them in some order. Many people faced with lies and distraction from mainstream media tend to view events in isolation or within their specific specialism, so the ‘big picture’ penny never drops.

Religious journey

My journey exploring religion was slow at first and I read books like The Case For Christ written by a former journalist and atheist. Based on extensive research the book made a logical case for God’s existence.

In recent months I think I’ve become much closer to God. My journey started more on the evidential side. However, the spiritual dimension now feels much stronger, I believe in part because the global coup is about to intensify soon.

Recently I’ve read and watched dozens of online presentations about near death experience, the bible and prophecies, demonic possession and child trafficking. Things are now much clearer to me.

Anyway, here are a few of my learning points on God and Christianity.

I realized early on there was something wrong with organized religion. Many churches don’t really teach anything meaningful about the Christian faith and are just social clubs for people who want to be ‘saved’. Many churchgoers have the same materialistic tendencies and lack of awareness as the public generally.

My view is that many churches have been infiltrated over many years by some darkness – a view which I think is supported by Catholic Church scandals and locking down churches and using them as injection centers.

So, I made the conscious decision to study and pray at home.

When I feel frustrated or through my curiosity, by prayer, I’m always guided by God to the right answers. God, I think works in the way of patience whereas I wish to know the answers now. But I feel humbled and privileged for the wisdom, intelligence and resolve I receive through God in his time.

I ask a question and it always gets answered in one way or another, often days later when simply stumbling upon it or being able to piece things together. Above all, I feel protected.

During the recent period I think many awake believers have been struggling with negative emotions and not-so-good traits which come from the burden of the disturbing knowledge about the world we now possess. I often feel I’ve sinned by rowing with my family over the injections. But what if I’d said nothing?

It’s a mixture of emotions in play, and often my angry or frustrated reaction to those who can’t see the truth plays havoc in my mind as to whether I’m doing right in God’s eyes. I constantly struggle with this but believe God will forgive us ‘smaller sins’ in the background of the burden and multitude of attacks on us from all directions.

Another thing I grapple with is, “What does God want from us”? A surrender to his power or one where we play an active part? Previously I firmly believed God gives us the tools to change things for the good and if we don’t use them, he might intervene if we’re lucky. Or he might not bother.

I think God changes things in ways unseen or less obvious and through the power he instills in his believers. So, we have an important part to play now. But ultimately, I think believers should place more faith in God and in divine intervention when the insanity coming at us now and in the future may overwhelm us.

The future

I feel I’m at an advanced stage of my journey to the truth and God. My current focus is studying global child trafficking and the film ‘Sound of Freedom‘ reinforces my belief that a cult of satanic weirdos, psychopathic traitors and sexual deviants underpin much of the chaos we are seeing now. Destroying child innocence through various agendas is part of their plan as they see children as closest to God.

Waking a few more people up is our next step, and many have woken. On the horizon are new ‘pandemics’, grid take-downs, controlled financial meltdown, climate lockdowns, war and possibly even a fake ‘alien invasion’.

However, through our numbers, preparedness, wisdom, determination and in God’s armor, we have many things in our favor.

The globalist ‘Great Reset’ and its wide-ranging evil is an ambitious undertaking – too ambitious, I think, and whatever happens soon, it will eventually fail. The question is simply how many of us they take down with them. So, finally it’s important for us not only to wake up, see who and what the enemy is but also to prepare.

Preparations

These are some of the things I and I’d guess many readers here are doing. They’re not really new ideas but, as a list, might be useful as a sign post to good preparation sites out there.

Learn as much about the modern world and steadily build up your physical, mental and spiritual health. Look for inspiration from the great work of others of which there are plenty of examples on this site and elsewhere. This has helped me immensely in these dark days.

Food scarcity and financial meltdown are in the works. Stock up on essentials and look up prepping sites. Store food with the aim of helping those less prepared. Barter items such as coffee and alcohol will come in useful.

Likewise stock up on medicines such as antibiotics and supplements. For example, it’s now thought the Covid injected ‘shed’ spike protein to the un-injected. For both groups of people, Nattokinase is thought to be useful at preventing and dissolving blood clots caused by the injections and shedding. There are many other supplements which can help with the immune system and with detoxification.

Consider taking as much money out of the financial system as possible into gold and silver. These are a store of value and a hedge against economic collapse.

I keep a sizeable sum of cash at home. In the likely event ATMs shut down during a banking or grid crash, cash will probably be in use for a limited time.

Donate if you can to independent media sites. Right now, they are the barrier between us and further tyranny. Support if you can legal cases associated with the ongoing tyranny and lobby local politicians. Most judges and politicians are bought and paid for by the globalists but there have been some successes.

Gardening and seeds. This is possible even in a small space and is quite easy once you get going.

Think local. Engage more with your community. Co-operation will be essential during a system collapse. Also longer term we may have the opportunity for our own reset, based on local co-operation and decentralization.

Open a bible and apply the passages to what’s happening today. I’ve come across many examples and, in some cases, they provide me with comfort. Watch online presentations and interviews by the few brave church leaders who’ve joined-up the dots.

Importantly do all you can to protect kids from predators in the medical and education system. Unite and speak up at your school boards.

Stand up for yourself. It worked for me as I can attest.

Finally, try to reduce fear for the future using some of the above steps. Ultimately our future will be decided by our creator but during these dark times we should improve ourselves to stay on the path he meant for us.

Off topic and late to the party: Came across this on X (Twitter) today, Sept. 5th. An important Malone video statement. Brief two minute video worth your time. Reference to a comparative study of the vaxxed and unvaxxed and the damages done.

Not sure how it managed to find it’s way to my account it light of the censorship we are all familiar with.

I am sure most of you have heard about Biden’s latest request to fund a new Covid clot shot that he wants everyone to take regardless of his or her (note the pronoun usage) current clot shot status. In his words: “One that works”. An admission that the other ones don’t. All those people killed and maimed and the “Old Man” himself has admitted it was all for nothing. But he is going to fix it with a new clot shot. Going double or nothing to wipe out his losses to repair his legacy. At least that is what one of his staffers (who has a close relative who is an executive for Pfizer) advised him.

As quirky as Malone is, the statement is bold and daring. You won’t be wasting your time.

The only part I would disagree with is giving money to “independent” media sites.
They are part of the system and IMHO, not truly grass roots, embracing of FREE EXPRESSION, and have little tyrants running parts that stifle real interaction of divergent ideas.

You should also add, get out of the big cities, not matter what it takes, or the sacrifice required. Big cities will be death traps, eventually.

The most important fact about Christianity is that it’s an otherworldly psyop which convinces believers that there is an “afterlife” in “heaven” if they conform and behave in this world. But, if they don’t behave, they’re led to believe that their afterlife will be in “Hell.” In the minds of believers, Heaven and Hell are other worlds (i.e., not of this world), which is why Christianity is called an “otherworldly” religion. Belief in these tenets is supported by believers’ “faith” that it’s (from Biblical “scripture”) all true even though they cannot see any objective evidence to prove that it’s true. This is in contrast to Christianity’s nemesis, paganism, which is a this-world religion (i.e., there is no “afterlife”). Paganism was the religion of classical antiquity and thus of pre-Christian history’s famous philosophers. Christianity finally conquered paganism in the 4th century AD when it became the state religion of the Roman empire and was thus empowered to use the force of government to make everyone convert to Christianity. From then onward, Christianity has served rulers by functioning as a form of social control by means of psychology.

People casually dismissing Christianity as nonsense ,and describing believers as gullible are pretty patronising
Assuming they somehow cleverer ,when there not .
The early Christians were prepared face being eaten by lions before denying Jesus Divinity ,I think the book of Acts also shows just what lengths Jesus’s contemporaries were prepared to face ,or were they gullible too ?

The reality is that everyone has their own view of the unknowable and what their own personal take home messages are. Christianity is but one option in a mass market place. Islam is significantly different, even more so Buddhism.

What both Christianity/Judaism and Islam agree upon is that they are right and that non-believers are inferior. I can’t be doing with that, as it is basically a racist construct. Apparently Christians believe that ‘the ultimate sacrifice’ of one man empowers all mankind in some way or other. There was no such sacrifice in Islam, but apparently the Prophet there is equally all knowing and non-Muslims can be treated disgracefully. And as for the more extreme versions of Judaism, well they are, I’m afraid, master race racists pure and simple.

I don’t agree with any Abrahamic religion because all three are fundamentally racist. They are also organised in a way to create ‘elites’ and to steal from the gullible.

I’ve always felt ‘closest to God’ a very long way away from organised places of worship. Personally, I see more evidence of ‘God’ in the manifestations of the seasons, the incredible resilience of healthy soil, the way that water shortages always seem to right themselves (at least in the UK and California), the way that trees can have ‘doctors’ the same way that humans can etc.

Human life ultimately is about coming to terms with what is currently known, what might become knowable in your lifetime and what won’t likely be known even in 10 lifetimes. Those things are always moveable feasts, which is why single historical documents are always going to decline in immediacy as the years pass. Christianity’s great authoritarian evangelism ended over 100 years ago and now the analagous arrogance of an ever-expanding Muslim theocracy will wreak the same havoc on earth for a few centuries. Who knows what the Jews will end up doing – but they are clearly trying to turn both Argentina and Ukraine into ‘new Israels’ and the ways they do it are fairly abhorrent to the majority.

It’s after all now possible to create a child without sexual intercourse taking place. Back 2000 years ago, that would have been ‘a miracle’, but nowadays we call it IVF.

1500 years ago, the thought of female emancipation was not on the agenda, which is how the frankly misogynistic Islamic theology could take hold. The chances of well-educated professional women submitting to authoritarian reactionary sexist Muslim clerics is zero indeed. And quite right, in my humble opinion…..

The Quakers took umbrage at the unreligious hypocrisy of the ‘Establishment Christians’ 200-300 years ago and many of them ended up in a prison cell for their pains. They did establish some colonies on the East Coast of America, but they remain a humble, small sect which treats adults like adults. Not what the Holy Catholic Church, nor Islam wants to hear about….

My grandmother’s kitchen mantelpiece had the words ‘Times of Trouble Find Out Friends’ on it – I always found that a far more practical aspect of ‘closeness to god’ than abstract preaching from the Bible. ‘Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery’, taken from the Desiderata, is also a rather practical piece of advice for young boys and girls.

Everyone has their own journey to follow and reality dictates that different people will find different spiritual homes.

But if they truly mature in spiritual terms, they won’t be trying to impose their own home on everyone else….

Then you can never speak of truth, Rhys. Because what you’re implying here is that no one can know the truth. Which is of course, false.

True Christians don’t see unbelievers as inferior. We see you as being without possession of the truth. That’s not a reason to treat you as an inferior, in fact we must love even those we hate, following Jesus’ example.

You can’t beat a good old Inquisition to show how much god loves us. If anyone was a true Christian then they could never be happy in heaven knowing there were people in hell. People can believe what they want but no one has a right to force their doctrine on any one else just like the covid lies, its all about control. I believe you do not need religion to believe in a creation or creator. Tell someone there is an all seeing and all knowing invisible he/she/it in the sky and they believe it, tell them the paints wet and they have to touch it to believe it, so sad.

It’s sadder that people have been brainwashed by the culture to be closed off to certain possibilities, things which are easy for God to do.
God can do all things, so a believer in God must admit it’s possible He sent Jesus in order that we know the truth, and can be saved.
But you rely on your human mind. You are clay who thinks himself wiser than the potter.

Well, I have not seen the creator(s) but still think its a possibility, however, I do not see any evidence, anywhere in the world, that God loves the human race, supposedly his/her/its creation. Like I said, every religion thinks their dogma is right, boy is there going to be a lot of disappointment when the time comes. Thanks for telling me what I am, and you do not even know me. That’s the whole trouble with people that have religion, of any sort, there is no other view just condemnation. I would describe myself as more like Play Dough, I am continually remodelling.

Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”
He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
Matthew 12:38

All you have to do is ask God, and you’ll see the evidence you seek. It’s worked for countless, extremely high-intelligence people.

PS you’re right that most religions will be disappointed. Most are working against God. That’s not a reason to dismiss the truth of Jeshua.

There is truth hidden in a world of lies. So then should we dismiss the fact truth exists, and give up the search?

There’s an excellent book which (rightly or wrongly) says that the merely claimed to exist ‘jesus’ (my posts on this site make it very clear that I am NOT a ‘christian’…) did not exist as an actual historical person, that ‘jesus’ was merely the latest in a long line of non-existent claimed people who were each merely allegorical symbols of the Sun, which was what was ‘worshipped’, in days gone by. They used to refer to the Sun as ‘the Lord’ (‘christians’ should take note of that…).

The book is “The Christ Conspiracy: the greatest story ever sold“, by ‘Acharya S’ (the pseudonym of an American woman called Dorothy something [sorry, can’t recall her surname]).

There are many other books which write of the same thing: ie, that the ‘bible’ may well be a manifestation of what’s termed ‘astro-theology’: writing in allegorical terms of events which take place in the sky!
There are astro-theological explanations for the numbers used in the so-called ‘bible’: for eg, the number 12 [so-called ‘disciples’] to refer to the 12 months of the year: ie, the 12 ‘signs of the zodiac’ through which the Sun travels, annually. Other examples abound.

The so-called ‘second coming’ [haha!] of ‘the Lord’ is easily explained, via astro-theology, as merely a reference to the Sun reappearing from beneath the horizon.

And so on, and so on.

Things like this – and it happens quite often in the Bible – more than offset the quaint notion of a “good” God. God is only “good” to certain people, not to everyone.

Oh but wait: that was only until Jesus came along and “died for our sins.” Then God became “good” toward everybody.

God is and has always been absolute goodness and truth. The Bible is a spiritual guide, not a history book or a mundane law book. Metaphors, allegories and parables must be read and understood in the spiritual context. If the context is wrong in the reader’s mind, nothing can be understood right.

Names and people in the Bible are not actual people, but the names carry a meaning, and people in the Bible are examples of spiritual conduct.

When God destroys Amalekites, God destroys sin. Sin is not-true and not-good and so it is, in fact, good to destroy sin.

The Bible clearly says it is not to be taken literally. Here are some verses about that:

The nature of the world reflects the nature of the mind that perceives it.
That we have a split mind or nature is evident but masked over and distanced from by a dissociated thinking that can SEEM to run autonomous and yet is dependent on and framed by that which it seeks to deny in Self by projection & attack in the Other.

If you are willing to ask a real question of a true desire to know, you are in the field of resonance to receive it. For truth is not denied us so much as discarded or filtered out from a mindset of the wish truth be different (than it is).

But the thinking mind seeks to frame and control the means to ‘keep you safe’ from feared truth. That’s what the mask of mind is invoked to function as; a psychic defence system against reliving past trauma (fear of pain of loss).
Masked & protected fear will misinterpret everything, but you are not the mask you made to cover a sense of self-lack, inadequacy, guilt or shame.

“WHO told you you were naked?” said the Lord? (dont limit that to body shame – but more of a sense of self lack or loss resulting from self-differentiation to a sense of self-image.

If the Law & Lord of Life is written on your heart, so is the freedom to question False-Evidence-Appearing-Real. Recognising or discerning truth is never an imposition from external authoritative dictates. Listen in the stillness of the heart – for true desire moves of itself.

From experience I know institutions like the FBI prefer to go after and target their own citizens in the name of Jesus.

They know they are church going sinners for doing this, they admit to it, but to remove the guilt associated with their sinning, they say Jesus already died for my sins, so this keeps them sinning in the name of Jesus.

I tried to tell them (my neighbors) no one died for your sins, in the end you will be responsible for your record of sins, they just get mad and move away.

Isn’t religious interpretation a wonderful thing?

Gullible ‘christians’ worldwide, however, have fallen for the abject nonsense which merely claims that a merely claimed to exist person ‘died for their sins’.

‘Salvation’ is not something which takes place… it’s simply part of the crazy false doctrine of ‘christianity’. Something which only gullible ‘christians’ fall for.
The actual spirit truths just don’t work like that! (see the rest of my post, here)

As regards the first part of what you said.. well, on the contrary… for we countless millions of properly-informed Spiritualists worldwide do know ‘how we got here’. As I’ve said in my posts on this (only when the subject matter of the article, or the content of someone’s comment, warrants my mentioning it… as one of the Admin. on this site, you may well have seen some of my posts on this), Spiritualism is the one and only ‘religion’ that is able to absolutely prove what it states. I never fell for ‘christianity’ (I’m a 64-year-old Englishwoman; I believe that you’re American), and as of 1994, I began to learn the in fact incontrovertible proofs that we all survive (in our immortal spirit body form; which is what literally animates our physical body ‘coat’ whilst we’re here on Earth, in each of our eternal soul’s many, many lifetimes) the death of our physical body. At that point, I initiated an extensive, in-depth, scholarly programme of research into the subject. And discovered that there does exist incontrovertible proof that the actual nature of the hugely-misinterpreted ‘death’ is so very, very different to what it merely seems to be, when interpreted on its wholly illusory, face-value mere appearance (and I do not use the word ‘proof’ either loosely or wrongly).

Salvation is real. It’s a spiritual thing. I personally was saved from hell, right after I cried for help from God. Jesus means the Savior Spirit of God. Jesus is and always has been, Spirit.

What you write about the immortal soul is quite right. It’s actually what all major religions are saying, too. I mean, the scriptures.

We must be able to see the difference between things, logically. Religion is not a book, a book is not a religion or God, religion is not God, only God is God. Only truth is truth. Every lie is a lie. Jesus is teaching about logic. Jesus is the one Spirit who can heal your body and soul. The word Jesus literally means ”God Saves”.

I am not a Christian and never was, and neither is Jesus who is Spirit. The Spirit of Jesus told me not to go to church, not to join any religion or a cult, and also that reincarnation is, in fact, true.

Well, I then did go to some churches, and I listened to sermons, only to see that Jesus was right.

There is not a single thing where Jesus was wrong, being as close to God as can be.

You should be able to understand these spiritual things since you claim to have knowledge and true understanding of the matters of Spirit.

Materialists don’t deal in “beliefs” but in demonstrable facts that can be recorded instrumentally. Granted, human instruments are hardly infallible; but at least they work better than simply declaring something to be true.

Truth, by the way, is not a popularity poll, determined by the number of adherents. Millions of Spiritualists KNOW “the Truth.” So, too, do millions of Believers KNOW “the truth.”

From a materialist’s point of view, both Truths look strikingly similar.

But the survival of ‘death’ truth is a spiritual event; ie, the literal departure of the immortal spirit body from the physical body, at the time of ‘death’.
Things that are not physical (but still real) will not be recordable on instruments that are designed merely to record physical, material events/things!

No matter what you merely ‘believe’, Howard, it is a statement of absolute proven fact (and I’ll repeat myself yet again, I am not using the word ‘proven’ either loosely or wrongly) that we do all survive (in our immortal spirit body form) the death of our physical body ‘coat’. There exists a veritable wealth of multi-faceted evidences which absolutely prove that! So, on the eventual day on which you do what is so very wrongly termed ‘die’, you will, I assure you, be forced to ‘eat your words’!

(You’ll be forced to think “Oh wow, that Englishwoman, Christine, on that online forum back on Earth, she was stating the truth…what she said IS the truth!”. We Spiritualists around the world are passionate about trying to enlighten people re. this ultimate truth of existence. Far too much suffering goes on, worldwide, due to many people still ‘thinking’ that ‘death’ is the end of one’s personal existence, when it truly is not!)

That merely claimed to exist person may or may not have existed.

A day or so ago (yesterday, maybe) I posted (a bit upscreen from here) to someone who posts under Semaj [James, spelt backwards…], referring him to an excellent book called “The Christ Conspiracy: the greatest story ever sold“, by ‘Acharya S’ (the pseudonym of an American woman, Dorothy something; can’t recall her surname). She being one of many NON-brainwashed people around the world who see that it may well be that the content of the writings termed the ‘bible’ are merely allegorical representations of the Sun and its travels round the sky [the ‘heavens’…]. What’s called Astro-theology.

For, in those days, many people ‘worshipped’ the Sun… that thing up in the sky. And some of them used to refer to it as ‘the Lord’ (you ‘christians’ should take note of that…).
That the content of the ‘bible’ could well be what is termed [as I stated above] Astro-theology; ie, what I’ve just said: a way of referring to the Sun’s travels around the sky, in an allegorical, symbolic manner.
Astro-theology would explain all the nonsenses in the so-called ‘bible’ writings… eg, ‘born of a virgin’ [a ref. to the Virgo ‘sign of the Zodiac’, through which the Sun passes, annually], the ’12 disciples’ [a reference to the 12 ‘signs of the Zodiac’], the ‘Second Coming’ [a ref. to the Sun’s reappearance from beneath the horizon], and many, many more such.

I don’t give a fig whether your ‘jesus’ character exists or not.

This is off-thread. I plan to research the Shakespeare question we discussed awhile back. But NOT the authorship.

It has occurred to me that, since no claim was made, someone at a later time must have compiled the works – just like the New Testament was compiled long after the events it purportedly contains were over.

Presumably it has already been determined who the scribe(s) was/were. But has anyone gone deeper to determine if perhaps the compilers in effect re-wrote the plays and in so doing made changes to the original? This is what I’ll be looking for.

The thing called the ‘First Folio’ was published (in, I think, 1623, but can’t recall, for sure, which year, without looking it up) – that being the first ‘collecting together’ of the so-called ‘Shakespeare’ works.
And, as I said in another post, some days ago, that ‘First Folio’ was funded by the daughters and sons-in-law of Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford!! Why would they have funded it, if Shaksper of Stratford had been the author, huh?? It’s far more likely that they funded it because their father and father-in-law had been the author!

I have an idea (not certain) that one of the writers of the time, Ben Jonson, was also involved in a big way in the production of the ‘First Folio’. He was a friend/colleague of de Vere’s daughters and sons-in-law.

If God can send His Son, let Him be put to death, and then resurrected, it shows that Satan has no power over God.
It comes down to what you believe. Think of the ending of the first Matrix, Neo realises the bullets aren’t real. So he stops them mid air. He couldn’t do this before because he believed they were real.

No, I’m most definitely not ‘confused’. I’m stating the facts. For, unlike you, I never fell for the abject nonsense of the control system hoax of ‘christianity’.

The word ‘sin’, in the way that you’re using it, is a word used by ‘christians’, and especially by the Fundamentalist variety.
Of course humans have not ‘sinned against God’. I repeat what I said to Zenpriest, earlier: that that (the claim that ‘humans have all sinned against God’) is merely false ‘christian’ doctrine. Ie, it was literally made evil, by the corrupt hierarchy of the evil ‘Christian Church’, in order to control the gullible masses. And by golly, don’t they just succeed!!
The many people around the world who fall for the abject crazy evil nonsense of ‘Fundamentalist Christianity’, they being totally unaware that they’re merely demonstrating just how gullible, how brainwashed, how easily led, they all are, to fall for such abject nonsense.

I have an idea [I apologise if I’m wrong, on this] that you might be the person who used to post here under the name ‘Paul Watson’. He was definitely a Fundamentalist Christian. They [Christian Fundamentalists] are the ones on the planet who are immensely gullible, immensely brainwashed individuals.

And it’s not a ‘sin’ to be ‘proud’ of something. You merely ‘think’ that it is, for that’s another false ‘christian’ doctrine. I’m very proud that I never fell for the abject nonsense of ‘christianity’, and I’m very proud that I’m a properly-informed Spiritualist (Spiritualism truly being the one and only ‘religion’ that is able to absolutely PROVE what it states [and I do not use the word ‘prove’ either loosely or wrongly]).

Surely you must realize that just about everything humans have ever come up with ends up becoming a “control system.” It’s absolutely unavoidable so long as we humans insist on a hierarchic ordering of society. The “ruling” class ALWAYS latches onto anything which it can use to help institutionalize its rule.

Apropos of reincarnation and spiritualism, why is it that even after countless reincarnations these spirits never seem to see that? So societies keep falling into the same routine again and again.

And if everything the human form is merely reflects the spirit animating it, then it has to be argued that these spirits are not particularly benevolent; and are more interested in observing the playing out of some sort of cosmic game than in enlightening their fellow spirits.

It’s all well and good to accept the tenets of spiritualism; but a bit difficult when it comes to evaluating this spiritual realm which is home to the spirits. For all any of us know, keeping a control system in perpetual motion may be precisely what they’re after and why they keep re-appearing here on Earth.

By saying that, of spirit beings, you’re actually (without meaning to!) insulting yourself! For it’s an absolute fact that we are all, each and every one of us, an eternal soul/spirit being, who lives many, many different lifetimes.

Souls in the Spirit dimension are the exact opposite of ‘not particularly benevolent’!! How on earth can you continually write such things… without meaning to, you’re insulting yourself. Ie, as the eternal soul/spirit being that you are, and which is, in this lifetime, incarnating as an American called Howard.

Souls in the Spirit dimension are constantly “enlightening their fellow spirits”!! They communicate constantly with many, many people all over the world who possess clairvoyant vision and clairaudient hearing. And, through those people, they transmit many different forms of information: enlightening information of diverse sorts.

I’m not averse to the idea of Vibrations as factors which affect humans, different Vibrations affecting different groups of people.

Quite possibly people born in a certain timeframe react to a particular set of Vibrations. Some use this dynamic as a basis for various endeavors – particularly artistic endeavors, since artists (i.e., genuine artists) are able to engage with higher aspects of these Vibrations.

I do not, however, regard anything about Spiritualism per se as particularly compelling. This Spirit realm is – I’m sorry to say – very much analogous to the idea of Heaven.

Howard, the very real Spirit dimension/Spirit world/Spirit realms is the actual, correct term for what ‘christians’ call ‘Heaven’!

‘Heaven’ (as per ‘christians’ beliefs) does not exist, and ‘Hell’ (as per ‘christians’ beliefs) does not exist. But the Spirit dimension [of this in fact multi-dimensional cosmos]/Spirit world/Spirit realms most definitely does exist!!

As you will one day discover (you will, as I’ve told you before, on this, remember the fact of its existence. On the eventual day on which you do what is so very incorrectly termed ‘die’, you’ll return (in your immortal spirit body, with all the exact-same feelings, memories, emotions, thoughts, attitudes, etc, that you have now) to the Spirit realms, and you’ll remember that “Oh yes!, I remember now! We are, each and every one of us, an eternal, immortal soul/spirit being, and we live many lives [on Earth, and in other places in the ultimate cosmos…], and then, inbetween each of those lifetimes, we return here, to the Spirit dimension, the Spirit realms!”.

That truly is what happens, to everyone. No matter how much they might choose to deny it, or to ‘disbelieve’ it. Everyone will experience what I’ve just summarised, above.

What I’ve written on my posts on this all-important subject is emphatically not ‘wrong’. The irony is that it’s what you brainwashed, gullible ‘christians’ merely ‘believe’ that is what’s wrong!! And a day will arrive for each of you when you’ll discover, and have to cope with, that reality.

I have less than no desire to be a ‘christian’!!!!!!

So lay off your ‘christian’ cr*p!! For it doesn’t ‘wash’, with me.
What we Spiritualists state is absolutely proven. And you will one day find that out.

Waffling on about fundamentalism proves you’re a know-nothing. True Christians are aware of how much of the church is corrupt and false doctrine. That doesn’t disprove the truth of Jeshua.
Sin means ‘off the mark’. So then, what is the ‘mark’? It’s God’s way, how He wants us to be. If we all lived in this way, it’d be paradise on earth.

But we have all fallen short. A good and humble person can admit this, for what person has never lied, or had bad thoughts about others – at the minimum?

So by claiming we all haven’t sinned, you must therefore think lying and having bad thoughts about others is ok. Which says a lot about you. For one, you aren’t spiritual. You just think you are!

You are merely a gullible ‘christian’, who’s been duped into ‘believing’ such things as ‘born of a virgin’, ‘walking on water’, ‘died to save everyone’s sins’.

I rest my case that ‘christians’ possess no critical thinking skills.

And actually I am spiritual. I’m informed on the truly proven survival of ‘death’ truth and the many associated spiritual truths of existence, and, like the vast majority of the literally countless millions of other properly-informed people around the world, I provide many people with information re. the factual survival of ‘death’ etc truths, so that more people will become enlightened re. the fact that the actual nature of the illusory ‘death’ is so very, very different to what it merely seems to be, when interpreted on its wholly illusory, face-value mere appearance.
Being ‘spiritual’ does not mean that one has to be a ‘christian’. The extreme irony is that there is no true spirituality in ‘christianity’. It’s merely ‘religious’, as opposed to spiritual.
The vast majority of ‘christians’ are not even informed on the truly proven survival of ‘death’ truth. And the reason for that is that 99.9% of vicars, priests, ministers, pastors, ‘pope’s, etc, on Earth, are themselves literally not aware of the facts of survival of ‘death’ (in our immortal spirit body form. The latter being what literally animates our physical body, whilst we’re on Earth). Thus, not being aware of that all-important truth themselves, they’re not able to disseminate that truth to their [gullible] ‘flocks’.
And hence most ‘christians’ are not informed on the vital survival of ‘death’ truth, which we countless millions of Spiritualists around the world ARE informed on. And the vast majority of us seek to enlighten others, re. that ultimately-important truth.

The word ‘sin’, as used by you ‘christians’, is deliberately used in the way in which you all use it, to demonise even ‘ordinary’ relatively minor wrong-doings, or even to demonise things which are completely normal, for eg, that of ‘pride’. As I said in my posts yesterday, there is nothing wrong with the thing termed ‘pride’.
So, for eg, parents may be proud of one of their children [whatever the age of the child] for some achievement of the latter. So you ‘christians’ claim that the parents who are proud of their child are being ‘sinful’?? Of course they’re not!!

Back in 2004, the sister of my longtime partner was visiting us (he, my partner, returned to the very real Spirit dimension in early 2019, he was 70). Whilst she was here, my partner told his sister that he’d been proud of me when, in 2002, the partner of his niece had been unwarrantedly verbally abusive to me, and I’d [of course] stood up for myself; I answered him back, very forcefully.
So you ‘christians’ would claim that my partner had been ‘sinful’ when he told his sister that he was proud of me for having stood up for myself and spoken angrily to his niece’s partner?? Of course he wasn’t!!

I rest my case yet again, that you ‘christians’ are immensely gullible, brainwashed, indoctrinated into utter nonsense.

I realise that there is of course a Supreme Creative Power that created the multi-dimensional cosmos and all life, but that Creative Power is NOT a person (as you ‘christians’ wrongly merely assume).

Talking of ‘miracles’, as you ‘christians’ do, is just a lazy way of accepting things which all logic would say is complete and utter nonsense.

I repeat, I am most definitely NOT ‘confused’. I am very proud that I rejected ‘christianity’ (at the tender age of 6 or 7, in the mid-1960s. Our blindly-believing mum used to force my younger sister and I to accompany her to church on Sundays [whilst our dad used to stay at home to look after our then baby brother].
I, however, always refused to kneel, or to sing the ‘hymns’. Our mum used to whisper/hiss at me, “Kneel down, Christine!”.
I responded by saying “NO, I will NOT kneel down, and will not sing the hymns”.
At the age of 10 or 11, I told her that I’d no longer be accompanying her and my sister to church on Sundays. And I didn’t.), and am proud that I’m one of the literally countless millions of properly-informed Spiritualists around the world. We are the one and only ‘religion’ that is able to absolutely PROVE what we state (and, to repeat, I’m not using the word ‘prove’ either loosely or wrongly).

It’s you ‘christians’ who will get a big shock, when you each eventually return to the Spirit dimension of this multi-dimensional cosmos, and you discover, and have to face, that ‘christianity’ told you all a pack of lies and untruths, and that it was what we properly-informed Spiritualists said that was and is the very real truth.

What I’d said was that the word ‘sin’ is, more or less, a word that has been utilised by ‘the Christian Church’ to demonise ‘ordinary’ behaviours (see my words re. ‘sin’, in a post further down this thread, posted just over 10 minutes ago).

Degrowth to self-empowered localisation: then ditto much of the above. There is the small matter that if we all do so alone; well, having a stash of gold will get you murdered. There is still the vanishingly small chance of some sort of “consciousness shift” and there are signs of ecological resurgence. Nobody can do this alone, ‘we’ need to raise awareness and make a positive case for ecological relocalisation. There seems to be quite some antipathy for living in the general community.

The whole fucking ethos of civilisation was greed overcoming need. That’s definitionally evil (privatio boni — privation of the good of life). Small agroeconomic communities with connection to each other and to the earth. Fucking hell, with every mention it seems like the idea was akin to rape or murder. We were born into a world of institutionalised greed, hatred and totalised delusion, but we do not have to agree. There is not a single area where the economic institutions have any validity left, even if they ever had any (including the language.)

Civilisation is the globalised hatred of life. Nobody manufactures consent, we are instituted to manufacture desire far in excess of physiological necessity or authentic need. We could have a fantastic life for a fraction of the energy we expend daily by just prioritising the basics as a Great Simplification. Maybe it could be done without the resentment driven demonisation of our alter egos, but probably not? Civilisation only ever held together by collective agreements nobody was actually party to; but nobody compelled any-body to agree (not in the First World at least.)

Free choice could be used to disagree and to challenge the institutions of greed. It has never been rocket science to reject evolutionary inhibiting principles and institutions. Why wait for the collapse if we can consciously degrow together?

God and religion are not the same thing. The mysteries are accessible to those of mankind; however only if we have “eyes to see, and ears to hear”. If we take the Bible as literal then no.

As Bill Donahue of Hidden Meanings says in his “The Bible is Not A Literal Book” lecture – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKcnK_qGFUk:

“The point that I tried to make this morning to the people is that the Bible is not a religious book. There is no religion, there’s no spirituality in it, actually the Bible is a book of psychology. It’s a book of cosmic psychology, but hidden behind all of these ancient words are clues to the development of the human mind, and it’s very interesting for you to understand.”

I, have recently been reading some of the teachings of the Bulgarian Mystic Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov, and have barely scratched the surface, however in his teachings he talks about God, Jesus and the Bible.

In regard to reincarnation, in “Life Force – Complete Works – Volume 5”, Chapter One “Life”, he says:

“And let me tell you that Christians have not understood what Jesus thought about this. Jesus knew all about reincarnation and it is obvious that he believed in it, but Christians cannot see that. Let me take an example: how could such a pure, wise son of God be, at the same time, so stupid as to tell weak, sinful men to be perfect as their Heavenly Father? Did Jesus really understand human psychology? Was he really so intelligent? No, if we are to accept the idea Christians have of him, he cannot have known what he was talking about: imagine asking weak, miserable human beings to be as perfect as their Heavenly Father! The truth of the matter is that, in saying this, Jesus was taking reincarnation for granted, for no one can come to resemble the Heavenly Father in only one lifetime. It is just not possible! Unless, of course – but this would show even greater ignorance – unless Christians deny the implicit acceptance of reincarnation simply because they have no idea of the greatness and glory of God!”

“When Jesus said, ‘Be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect,’ he knew that no man was capable of becoming perfect in the course of one incarnation.”

in “’Know Thyself’ Jnana Yoga Part 1 – Complete Works – Volume 17”, Chapter 7 “Consciousness”, he says:

“One day, conventional science will decide to do some research in this area and it will make some tremendous discoveries. It will be obliged, at last, to admit that men are not on earth for the first time, and that all the misfortunes, illnesses and failures they experience in this life, as well as all their qualities, wealth or success, can be explained by their previous incarnations. Once this is understood, the laws of destiny, divine justice and so on, all become clear.

As long as people refuse to believe in reincarnation, they will never learn to resolve their problems correctly; they will never reach the truth. Even the Church keeps mankind in a state of error and ignorance and bars the road to progress.”

“Take away the notion of reincarnation and everything in the Bible, in the Gospels, and even in life, becomes meaningless.”

“But this is not the moment to talk about reincarnation: I have already talked about it a great deal!* If I have mentioned it today, it was simply because I wanted to show you that even if Jesus never used the word, the reality was implicit in his precept to ‘Be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect.’ Even Moses speaks of reincarnation at the beginning of Genesis.”
(*see Complete Works, Vol. 12, Chap. 8.)

In “Spiritual Alchemy – Complete Works – Volume 2”, Chapter 6 “The Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes”, he says:

“These two passages are clear evidence that:
1. The Gospel accounts of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes do not concern real, material bread and fish.
2. The miracle has some relation to Jesus’ power to move freely through space and time (in this case he walked on water), since this power astonished his disciples who had not understood the ‘miracle of the loaves’.

You should begin to see more clearly, by now, that the account of the miracle by which Jesus multiplied the loaves and fishes in order to feed thousands of people, is symbolic: it should not be taken literally.”

I, will leave you, to discover what the loaves and fishes are about if of interest.

The problem is – what god is the author talking about?

If you really take your time to study the conspiracies of this world, you will probably find out that our Bible – the basis of all Abrahamic religions (Christianity, Judaism, Islam) – is the biggest conspiracy ever! From manipulation of ‘data’ – that has been going on since the early periods – to ‘dangerous information’ being supressed from its pages; it appears to me we have a multifaceted ‘god’ that we don’t know exactly if he cares about us, humanity, or just a few elect who are ready to worship him.

I call myself “gnostic” because my intention is to know-god – I am not exactly a person of faith. And I can see many different gods in the Bible. A gnostic approach would say: I see many ‘aspects of a demiurge’ – a creature who don’t really care about the common good, it’s just thirsty for power and control. But I recognise it is not always like this. For instance: I think the god of Jesus is the only one that speaks about the formation of a ‘global brotherhood’ based on communitarian values; (yes, I am deliberately using the word ‘global’ here because there are aspects of the ‘globalist agenda’ that appear to be directly connected to the biblical message – ‘you own nothing and will be happy’ – has echoes of “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth” – and that’s only one example).

I think we should be able to appreciate the fact that Church and Politics are basically the same thing. Perhaps religion is the mother of all politics – and we’ve learned to ignore it in order to make it sound like something ‘personal’, untouchable by political feuds, a ‘sacred space’ which does not belong to any materiality. This couldn’t be farther from reality… Many atheist voters would say “no way” his political choice is influenced by religion – but even so, ‘atheism’ could be exploited as a ‘religious category’ as well – specially in certain cases – such as Satanists, for example, who believe they are a beacon of rationality in a world of darkness. (These idiots refuse to see they are nothing but the ‘dark side’ of “Abrahamism” (sic) – as the figure of Satan himself, ‘the adversary’, clearly has political undertones and serves for a religious agenda).

As for the UFO narrative – ok, we might be seeing something developing in our skies that is going to shake the world in a tremendous way. I am currently studying UFO religions and apocalyptic cults, and you will be surprised to learn how close they are. “Jesus is an Alien” is more than an internet meme. The problem about this narrative is not the spiritual connotation, or even the implications of ‘finding alien life’ (scientists are still concerned about ‘microbes’ – while cultists are getting direct telepathic communication with ‘intelligences’ from outside this planet). The problem is the implications of such revealing (the world ‘reveal’ bring us back to ‘revelation’ – which in Greek is Apocalypse).

Are you ready to abandon your ‘god’ in order to contemplate the possibility of a higher life-form teaching you a new spiritual dogma? Are you ready to accept the fact that our planet does not belong to ‘us’ – and reconsider ‘humanity’ as a ‘non-particularity’ – but a diversity with an extra-planetary foundation? (Many ‘encounters’ with aliens prove they mostly resembles us – therefore, ‘humans’). Are you ‘ok’ to share your little bubble with entities that might see you as mere ‘food source’? (Part of the gnostic lore implies that our “pain and fear” are food for some ethereal parasites…). Can we drop the rat-race for money and possessions and start focusing less on accumulating goods and more on ‘doing good’ to our fellow human being and nature?

Truth hurts more than saves. Still, even now – knowing that I know more than I should – I am happy to be an spectator in this incredible and challenging times .Lets say the pandemic “alienated” me (as I feel like an alien in a strange world). Unlike many people, I am not here to ‘change the world’ – just experience it. I definitely wouldn’t be one of those who ‘prefer ignorance’ in order to sustain their previous lifestyle, their own selfish little bubbles of self-identification (“I am this, I am that”), and the worship of idols (crucifixes are only a small part of the iconoclastic fixation nowadays).

If the world is to be destroyed by “Climate Change” or an “Alien Invasion” – there’s no much to lament here. We haven’t learned the basics of a brotherly life with other living beings, we are using the planet like parasites use their hosts, we are weak and irrelevant when it comes to applying our intelligence to solve problems (preferring to give control to some stupid A.I.).The universe won’t miss us. No need to grief our departure. If something has to change, it will change by other means – after all, we are not alone – it could be god, alien or some sophisticated mind-control program.

You make some interesting points. Since you are gnostic, I’d recommend the book, Not in His Image, by John Lamb Lash. He makes a devastating critique of the Abrahamic religions and their pyrrhic, otherworldly Salvationism. Along the way he discusses alien intrusion, allegedly revealed in the Nag Hammadi Codices. He is also not with the official Covid narrative at all.

If you can afford it stock up on tinned sardines and grow easy stuff like greens onions garlic and potatoes, do it with others for fun and support this can be done even with little space. But I do sometimes wonder about the survivalist stuff in a way it is quite pessimistic. One of many things the last 3 years has shown me is that when things get tough good people step up and fightback in very creative, community focused ways. People find a way to survive together.

Gardening and growing your own food is NOT easy until after you’ve had years of experience, and it’s pretty clear that the author isn’t engaged in this practice even to the point of herbs growing on a window sill.

On top of just growing fruits and vegetables, there’s also the matter of STORING them. Otherwise, the only time you’ll be eating is during the summer.

Luckily, there’s plenty of solid advice available for free on these topics, but let’s not just pretend that a single, throwaway sentence covers just how much WORK growing and storing your own food really is.

I believe water will be scarce soon..and without water you can’t grow things in your garden ( I believe).The citizens of Mayotte are currently having their water rationed ( It is part of the French state) . I believe that they only have drinking water every 3 days. People in France are talking a lot about it becoming a necessity in the future to ration water. There have been a lot of protests in France about a project relating to some ‘ mega bassines’ in Deux Sevres ( Aquitaine in France). The govt banned the protest movement but the ban was recently overturned by a court. I must admit I don’t entirely understand the issues involved ..but it could well be that the French govt like the rest of the Weffy West are not acting in the interests of the common person.

A 20′ foot container with a water treatment plant can pluck out 500m3 water a year from the humidity in the air. Average 100m3/family/year.
You can collect rain in reservoirs. Clean it with charcoal and filter stones, silver coin or chlorine.
You can take Seawater and boil it, the evaporation will be drinking water you can clean the same way.

Dawkins was the chosen vehicle to push atheism but he’s become the classic example of the child devoured by the revolution he was once part of. The big problem is that no human society has ever been found that was devoid of spirituality. It seems hard-wired into humanity.

Science has never been able to create life out of nothing. Macro-evolution also cannot be said to have been proven to any sort of scientific standard. Atheism has no scientific basis and is much an article of ‘faith’ as anything else.

It’s curious how trans- activists try to have it both ways. On the one hand they deny creation – but on the other they argue the dumbass demi-urge trapped a soul in a body of the wrong sex. Therefore there are souls?…

All mainstream religions are now thoroughly infiltrated (they probably have been for centuries but that’s more debatable) and their leaders push towards global ecumenism to create the spiritual wing of the NWO. These are all easily enough spotted – they’re the ones who argue all religions are basically the same (most obviously in the idea of the “Abrahamic” religions). The nature of this one world religion remains somewhat ill-defined which is probably the plan so it can be twisted to fit whatever the current elite agenda is – that probably means some sort of Gaia-worship initially but that will be dumped their true hatred of nature comes out.

The Church once told people that the elite were put here by God to rule over them. Did that serve elite interests? Of course! However look at when the Church preached the opposite in so-called “liberation theology” in Latin America and one finds that the CIA were behind it. Both sides of the fake dialectic are controlled, as usual.

What seems manifestly obvious is that the elite currently loathe Christianity with a passion so Christianity must be getting something right. Christians were some of the earliest to realise what was going on (see the film ‘Early Warning’ from 1981) and have been some of the staunchest anti-vaxxers. For all their flaws, churches do provide opposition with some institutional backbone and should not imo be deliberately alienated, that just plays into divide-and-conquer.Anyone who was brought up vaguely in the progressive camp needs to recognise that they’ve had their whole life being programmed to be anti-religion and to be very cautious about being too adamant about things in this area.

(TBC I may sound adamant about elite Satanism and Luciferianism in my posts – I’m adamant the elite are using these as weapons, I’m not adamant whether they truly believe in them. Using “something witchy” can be powerful intimidation and maybe that’s all someone like Michael Aquino was doing… ).

I like your comment, but I think you should not try to disassociate anything that is happening today (including the Globalist wet-dream of a One World Religion) from what has been known previously. Christianity, for example, is universalist (a ‘One World Religion’). The word ‘Catholic’ means ‘Universal’.

And Lucifer has nothing to do with Satan – I am afraid this is also a psy-op. I think Lucifer has something to do with planet Venus (the morning star – a title that Jesus adopts for himself in the book of the Apocalypse). Satan – ‘the adversary’ – is an entity, but also a title – ‘the one that refuses to accept’, the one ‘who questions’ – so, there is something very ‘satanic’ about going against the ‘Great Reset’ as well. Not saying that ‘satanic’ is positive, but it can be essential to understand why there are crazy fanatics inside ‘Christian-alt-right’ circles as well… 🙂

I prefer to go against the world as a whole. And I don’t mind if we get destroyed in the process… Perhaps we deserve it.

“What’s that called, cognitive dissonance? Religion does that.”

Why does religion makes you feel in ‘dissonance’? The word itself means ‘re-connect’. Politics does aim to manipulate your cognition, but religion should be the remedy against that (read: a cognition that isn’t rational, or natural – but ‘super’ human).

Perhaps we are connecting with something else right now – I mean, like, the internet – and this has caused us to miss other ‘connections’ with something else, more essential (like, religion – or nature).

Matthew 7:13-14

English Standard Version

13 “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy[a] that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.

Your observations on organised religion confirm what is said in Matthew 7:13-14. A painting by Hieronymus Bosch in 1516, The Haywain Triptych is allegorical for the road to Hell and shows representatives of organised religion on that broad highway. For an illuminating analysis of the main theme of this painting here’s the link:
http://visual-arts-cork.com/famous-paintings/haywain-triptych.htm
The broad highway to Hell represented here is the antithesis of Matthew:13-14.
However, if you have entered through that narrow gate to Eternity with Jesus Christ then God’s Holy Spirit lead you there. No one else, not you yourself, nor any earthly organisation can do that.

About religion, tt should be remembered that many, or most, hospitals are owned by churches, especially in the U.S. All hospitals in the U.S. were and probably still are requiring their employees to get Covid jabs. The first hospital in the U.S. to mandate Covid shots for all employees was Houston Methodist hospital in Texas. It’s owned by the Methodist church. Locally, where I live, Sacred Heart (Roman Catholic) hospital paid for daily Covid scare reports on TV and exhortations for everyone to get their Covid shots. Although each of our local hospitals paid for lots of Covid propaganda, Sacred Heart seemed to be the most enthusiastic about promoting the Covid scam. It’s obvious that, as owners of many hospitals, churches are deeply involved in the Covid scam, so I’m perplexed that anyone who’s adversely affected by the scam would recommend religion as a means of finding comfort. And don’t forget that these church-owned hospitals do not permit the recommendation of ivermectin nor supplements to treat any illness. Church-owned hospitals are the devil’s playgrounds.

A very interesting piece that mirrors my own awakening in some crucial ways!

I realized early on there was something wrong with organized religion. Many churches don’t really teach anything meaningful about the Christian faith and are just social clubs for people who want to be ‘saved’. Many churchgoers have the same materialistic tendencies and lack of awareness as the public generally.

That’s been my experience with organized religion, too. Personally, I am much more likely to get the ‘God vibe’ when I am alone — especially in nature.

My view is that many churches have been infiltrated over many years by some darkness – a view which I think is supported by Catholic Church scandals and locking down churches and using them as injection centers.

Just remember: it was organized religion that killed Jesus of Nazareth. Why put your faith in churches when you can put your faith in God directly? That’s why I don’t fool with organized religion. I prefer dis-organized religion.

Consider taking as much money out of the financial system as possible into gold and silver. These are a store of value and a hedge against economic collapse.

That raises an important point: how do you go about actually acquiring, storing and using these precious metals?

The point is to find some means to connect to higher Spirit. I don’t view Christianity as the only way, but in terms of access to spiritual fellowship, it is the most convenient for most people living in Western countries, especially if you live in the suburbs or exurbs.

I don’t think the author is naive to the corruption that exists within religious institutions. But Perfection is the enemy of the Good: if you want to build meat-space community with people who are sensitive to Spirit (or at least aspire to such sensitivity), you have to make do with what is available.

Old Habits Die Hard –

As an atheist, I cringed several times reading this essay. Not for anything you might imagine though.

As a child, in Catholic School, I was taught that whenever using the personal pronoun referring to God, you must always capitalize the “H” of “His.” I always do that; it’s an automatic response.

And I still cringe whenever I encounter “His,” when referring to God, with a lower case “h.”

The advantage of a religion is that it presents a positive doctrine by which to live. The secular view doesn’t, even though it often turns out to be parasitical on religion.

A demonstration of this happens in the Simon Pegg movie “Paul” in which the titular hero is an alien met by two comic book geeks. The three of them stumble on a Biblical fundamentalist father and daughter and there are predictable ensuing “culture clashes”. Paul is an atheistic really cool dude who could be taken to represent that hippie liberal mentality. However, he is clearly a stand-in for Jesus since he can cause the blind to see, heal the sick and even resurrect the dead. He can do all this because he is an alien and so the audience assumes he has some kind of “scientifically verifiable” power. But it’s just an update on the old miracle working. Note also that he has the name of the original evangelist and we assume he has some kind of religious teaching to impart. But all he has is that, since there is no meaning anywhere, you may as well just party, get high, fuck and chill out. The End.

A religious view may also give at least some kind of meaningful language by which to orient yourself to what is undeniably the utter evil that rules over us. And on that note, and at the mention of the Sound of Freedom, I muse once again on a media that can bury the whole issue of child trafficking as “enormously complicated”, complain that those who are getting irate about it must be “Right Wing nutters”, and even say that it is “LGBTQ kids” who are under threat! Sexuality comes with pubescence. Children are, by definition, prepubescents and should not be involved in this “discussion”. Furthermore, as I have said so often, and will never tire of saying, the T term is a cuckoo term that takes over the entire discussion. Transgenderism is oxymoronic bullshit. And that holds true for every age group.

So consider this: the media, when not utterly misrepresenting the child trafficking matter, skate over it and react with hostility to anyone who brings it up. Meanwhile, this very same media are whipping up the most feverish self-righteous phony anguish over “the transgender community” who are suffering from the trauma of being incorrectly addressed!

“Open a bible and apply the passages to what’s happening today. I’ve come across many examples and, in some cases, they provide me with comfort. ”
I also urge people to learn to be still, meditate and listen to/for their own inner higher power/wisdom. We must learn to discern amongst our own innate Divinity, the random thoughts that fly in and out of our consciousness and the weaponized propaganda we are subjected to 24/7/365.
There is too much religious dogma and doctrine externally imposed on the Bible to support the agendas of the various denominations, sects and cults that use it as the ‘Word of God”.
At its core the Bible is not a novel or a unified book. It was cobbled together by men with their own political agendas. The Bible is about psychology (the psyche, the Soul) and experiencing “God” for one’s self beyond the material senses/situations/institutions. Remember the Bible takes a distinctively negative view of religion and priests even the Israelite’s efforts.
Yeshua (the man renamed Jesus by the Catholic Church founders) was the ultimate mystic! “I and the father are one.” .”..The Kingdom of God is within you.” We need to reconnect with our Divinity and use its influence to better our lives and give us the courage to reshape this corrupt system.

Yes, there are plenty of proofs of that. Some of the few surviving Sonderkommando[s] (ie, those who worked in the gas chambers) have left documentation on what went on; some of them wrote books about their horrific experiences (I’ve read books by two Sonderkommando). And a doctor who worked with the evil Mengele wrote a book about what went on, too. Can’t recall his name (I think it began with an N and ended with an I; seven letters in the name).

People who claim that the Holocaust didn’t take place should be ashamed of themselves.

”“What does God want from us”?

That we live a sinless life.

In order to do that, we must definitely know what sin is, also what it isn’t. Confusion in this must be cleared.

There’s only one sin and its name is godlessness.

When with God, no sin. When not with God, sin.

It’s definitely a spiritual matter. Only Spirit can solve it, knowingly, so we can totally trust the good will of God.

If Jesus died on the cross to produce a bunch of people who cannot sin, then He failed. But, if Jesus died to produce a bunch of people who will never be punished for sin ever again, He succeeded. The sin problem was taken care of, we had a death penalty, Jesus became sin even though He knew no sin, so that we could be made forever right with God. It’s a gift we receive by faith, not by performance. We just have to “consent” to be saved. The institutional church has beyond buried the lead on this one by focusing on sin! “God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through Him.” (John 3:17).

Yes, and we know what that means, ‘the flu virus re-branded’. Well there is no flu ‘virus’ either. Until we acknowledge this we’re forever in this pathetic cycle of arguing the merits of both pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions, when the fact is they are all totally unnecessary tools of oppression.

Why do Americans refer to quote marks as ‘scare quotes’ (N.B., I don’t know whether you’re American or not, but I do know that that term is an Americanism…).

The ‘spiritual’ tone of this article is very positive, although I do agree with those who point out that being poor excludes many of us from some of the earth-bound remedies…

There are good ideas in there though.

Having just watched The Sound of Freedom, I realise the extent to which the love of money is the root of all evil and that if you’re too poor to cushion yourself from evil you and your children will forever be commodities bought and sold and abused by the scum of the earth. Eliminating basic poverty might go some way to stopping child trafficking. And facing up to and acknowledging how evil some people are might be a next step. And by the way, the film has just come out in the UK and was shown in a tiny screen in my local cinema. And I was the only person in that cinema. So much for facing up to and acknowledging what’s going on.

Re the linked article: Satan? Come on! What a tired old concept; designed to excuse ourselves from personal responsibility for our actions. The “evil” that humans do comes from their own hearts, not from some imagined supra villain swimming around in the ethers sending out lightning bolts. Come on, that’s so archaic!

After all, if “Satan” is that powerful, with a direct ability to sway the actions of mere mortals towards wrong-doing, surely an “all powerful” “God” should logically be able to do the opposite, and more? No?

On both ends of the good/evil spectrum, there lies choice, a human chooses a course of action and runs with it. Again, personal responsibility. I believe we are the product of an intelligent creative core, THAT’S what I aspire to incorporate in my daily life. Satan is conceptually irrelevant unless one wants to create a false idol, as the bible would say, to veil us from the deeper truths.

Reading comprehension is enhanced by ACTUALLY reading ALL the referenced material in the links, before spouting your present ‘beliefs’ – that’s why the warning to casual readers.
Everyone has ‘religious’ beliefs – EVERYONE!……which most defend with little or no evidence to support their beliefs……and which ultimately lead to more and more delusions.
All these subjects are covered in DaLimbraw Library for those who have the desire to ‘prove all things’…..but as I said ‘not for casual readers’ who simply regurgitate their already formed opinions based on their delusional opinions!
And that is our ‘PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY’!

There’s certainly a greater sense to our existence in this world, but it’s got nothing to do with belief any pile of shit god the Jew pulled out of their ass, and for any practical purpose that means the rest of the Abrahamic crap too.

Religious organisations, like banks, and in the UK case the Crown corporation, run tax-free, taxcattle-funded operations, though. Serving Mammon is so much more “diverse” than going “woke”.

Good point. Prepping basics is ok though, keep some extra food for a week or so.
The prepping for months is crazy especially without having much room in an apartment.

Make sure to store foodstuffs in vermin-proof containers.
Someone I know, deep in the wilderness, ended up with an horrific RAT INFESTATION, once they discovered the food supply, which was in an infrequently used outbuilding, so, he didn’t know, until it was well advanced, until nearly devoured. They then advanced their search of the property, all the while multiplying like crazy, he’s been at it over a month and it’s been like the Ukrainian “advance,” feces and *urine, shredded insulation, gnawed holes throughout the home, and greasy.
Take heed.
* rodent urine can be a source of hintavirus, extremely dangerous to humans — always clean up with rubber gloves and respiratory protection, or, if you can afford it, hire pros.
Best of all, avoid the need.

Added to that, depending on what neighborhood you live in, you might need a gun to protect your food. Guaranteed, for instance, someone in my neighborhood would be breaking into every home and apartment they can to steal what you’ve hoarded.

In a famine situation (which, BTW, the “rulers” seem to be working non-stop to bring about) the only survivors will be the most brutal, most ruthless, most conscienceless of the lot – the very last people who should be humanity’s future.
