I have drifted from regular essays for several reasons, mainly that we have moved across country and it has been an involved and humbling process that has kept me contemplative and quiet - while scurrying through necessary tasks. It’s also because I’m editing my book in an informal group process of willing readers. Also humbling and contemplative. I sense I will be back at a clip with the school calendar, but until then I wish to inspire you to join me in my contemplative time by contemplating God.
I wonder if you might read the excerpts from the good doctor Meryl Nass’s Substack which I will attach at the end here, and consider a few things. I think a need for God evaporates dull, dreaded, rote, religious-ness. When there is a hunger for God because you see what is going on in the culture and the world, because you see indecency and corruption, because you see what is being stolen from decent human beings treated as lab rats, Scripture comes to life, and so does seeking Christ - and prayer is the lifeline.
Anyone contemplating trust in Christ is faced with the task of assimilating the filmy residue of religion and religiousness. As my Dad used to say, “Mr. Sincere” when he crossed paths with an effusive Protestant pastor who seemed disingenuous. Or a friend who once said; “I love Jesus, Christians - not so much.” Another friend once introduced me to the term “Christianese” for the language full of religious signaling in prayer. Having mocked Christians many times for laughs, and those specific signals in prayer, this gave context. (I repent of this, and won’t do it again.)
I am moved by testimonies from believers who recovered relationship with God from a background of distorted use of religion. They expand contemplative awareness of a need for God.
What I needed myself and wish to grant you, was a greater picture. I needed to learn that the word “Christian” isn’t in the Bible. Neither is the word “rapture.” Early Christians were thought of as “followers of the way.” Some religions are just as captured as political atheists in coastal cities. There were vaccination tents pitched on church parking lots where members were told it was what Jesus would do. Others were simply reading the Bible, and knew better.
Everything about what is happening in our current predicament requires individualism and care for one’s soul and spirit, through time taken in contemplation.
What do you believe? Why?
As a former coastal city leftie and yogi who considered Ram Dass and Timothy Leary’s “guidance” to be a good path to freedom, I hope you’ll consider these excerpts below and realize what I discovered - it wasn’t good and it wasn’t freedom. My past behavior in crucial relationships revealed that and the awareness was so great I wrote a book about it in the hopes of deterring women from suffering losses I’ve faced. When I squinted and caught on to their end game, I returned to the blessing of my birth which included exposure to and participation in the sacraments from the very first interpretation of the Church. Now I am setting out on a journey of reorientation to that, in my own relationship with God.
Clarified exposure of Tavistock is an enlightening experience, though they intended the enlightenment to be built of the elements of their persuasion. Those elements were: multiple realities, a polytheistic view of the universe, pluralism, a humanistic religion of intelligence, and most important to consider: “scientific paganism.”
Tavistock efforts were a plan, a takeover, and religious, cultural and educational institutions were used to elevate and normalize it. The plan was to make a mockery of decent humans, cause them to unconsciously practice the satanic tenet of moral relativism and obey the elite. It will stop. How? One contemplative, convicted soul at a time.
Huxley was schooled. He wasn’t just an eccentric dude indulging his imagination. He was a soldier for the globalist plan.
Before you read the excerpts below, will you consider this crucial quote from Daniel Estulin’s book on Tavistock in the context of spring of 2020?
“In Brave New World, Huxley centers on the scientific methodology for keeping all populations outside the elite minority in a permanently autistic -like condition actually in love with their servitude.
