After examining religions very carefully, I believe the Cathars were murdered for their belief in two “Gods.” Catholic Christians, aligned with Constantine and the Roman government at that time, claimed the murderous “god” of the Old Testament was the same “God” as the Father of Jesus. However, Jesus pointed out in the New Testament that these two “Gods” are vastly different.
The Nag Hammadi Scriptures, and the Books of Enoch, agree with what the Cathars believed. By reading the Dead Sea Scrolls, if you can stomach the blood and the gore, it is easy to see the influence of the living Spirits of the fallen angels taking over the Jewish belief system.
The cults of the Jewish and Catholic faiths, all myriad Christian religions, and other denominations that claim there is only one “God,” have toed the man-made line, drawn in the sand by the fallen angels through their DNA, and instruments of war, using swords and clubs throughout the ages, to today’s guns, war machines, and cyber warfare. Their tactics have not changed historically.
My struggle with every religion I have studied, is the insistence that the “God” of the Old Testament is a loving God. If you do what you are told to do, this “God” won’t kill you. I asked every bishop, priest, minister, and elder I came across how a good God could wipe out every innocent child, animal, and vegetable, treating them one and the same thing as the evildoers in the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah, told in Genesis 19.
What good “God” would do that?
The same type of thing happened when the “Lord” sent an angel to kill 185,000 men, women, and children at the Assyrian camp to deliver Jerusalem back to the Jewish people in Isaiah 37:36. Killing, murder, rape, and war are the tools of the trade of the fallen angels, whose Spirits/Souls never die since they were not allowed back into heaven, and were assigned to the vicinity of the Earth.
The Spirits of the fallen angels have turned into today’s demons. They hide in plain sight. These dark and negative energetic entities are still among us. It is easy to see this dark influence in every country on Earth throughout history down to modern times. Humanity’s saving grace is the fact that we have free will. We do not have to choose dark and sinister ways in life.
The good news is that it is not only the dark energy that has survived. There is also the Light within the life force of every single human being. The Light is the Eternal Universal Life Force Energy which Jesus told us in Luke 17:20-21 that is within every human being, animating each person on Earth. We have the choice to learn about this Light and use it, or not, depending on how we use our free will.
You are not a victim, no matter what conditions in which you find yourself. Know that prior to this life, you chose the situations from which you thought that you could benefit and grow. This is all about the ascension process. Life’s dilemmas will continue to pop up “unexpectedly” until you learn how to stand up for yourself peacefully and lovingly. You have contracted with others in your circle, agreeing to work together for this process, sometimes emotionally, mentally, physically, or spiritually painful as you mature in your life. This can take hundreds if not thousands of lifetimes, or you and I can buckle down and get right to it, resulting to ascending after this lifetime.
Have you found yourself in a cult, or a group of people who operate within the paradigm of a cult?
Ask yourself if your voice has been taken over by another political or religious loudspeaker. Everyone wants to believe that they are in control of their own thoughts and beliefs. It is easy to be duped. If this has happened to you, know that you are not alone.
Coming to realize that you have handed over your personal power to a strong group that lied to you is shockingly embarrassing and painful. Reclaim your free will and use your personal freedom to let your voice be heard, even if it does not agree with the other voices around you. Know that you can break free of the dominance of others, their mind-control, and their bullying attitudes.
Notice if your politics, religion or social group promises peace, lower prices and better working systems, but produces the opposite.
Are you a victim of a crime, domestic abuse, child abuse, sexual abuse, drug and/or alcohol abuse, gossip, and slander by others? Report it. Get counseling. Know it is possible to live with dignity and integrity, past painful moments. Life is what you make it. Make your life beautiful.
This book is a guide transforming a world of chaos into peaceful civil societies.
It is possible to change the contagious tide of aggression, hostility, and blinded egocentric indoctrination where the thinking that might is right when it is not.
Cults and their ensuing indoctrinations come in many forms, not only in religious circles, although the Maga supposed “Christians” do fall into this category. This is a perfect example of claiming to follow their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ while doing the exact opposite of what he preached.
Jesus told Peter to put the sword down, remember?
Anyone boasting of hate-filled aggression, anger-filled hostility, and haughty ego-filled attitudes and agendas against anyone who does not think like them, speak like them, and act like them, tell on themselves as they follow the “god” of destruction, not the Almighty God, Father of Jesus Christ.
Farmers know that you cannot plant tomato seeds and reap corn. Architects know they cannot follow the blueprints to build a house and end up with a car engine. While these examples are common sense, indoctrinated Christians conveniently forget that Jesus never said to pick up that sword and fight, nor horde wealth, nor take unfair advantage of others not like themselves.
How does any society, and especially Christians who claim to follow Jesus Christ, get back to what Jesus Christ taught to humanity?
Continuing the drumbeat of hate and justification for war only serve to keep the steady dirge of dark energies alive.
Inconvenient truths irritate indoctrinated Christians. Christians who follow the laws of LOVE without conditions for every human being as Jesus taught have no problem with loving all humanity.
In not doing so, hate-filled indoctrinated Christians demonstrate by their thoughts, words, and actions that they are not following the teachings of Jesus Christ. They tell on and convict themselves of un-Christian thoughts, words, and actions. This is how to know if you might be following the wrong leader.
No one wants to face the music that they have been following the wrong leader, but recognizing the truth of this situation is necessary to heal a hurting humanity.
TRANSITIONING INTO THE AGE OF AQUARIUS, subtitled, AN ENLIGHTENING JOURNEY, is the book that is shining a brilliant LIGHT in an ever-darkening world. The solution to what every person can do to create a better future is painfully easy. It is the personal ego that needs to be tamed. The human ego boarders on addiction.
Virtues are the key to walking across the bridge from chaos to any civil society. This book paves the path that every human being can take. All it takes is a desire to heal your mind, body, and spirit as well as the world. Whatever you focus on grows. TRANSITIONING INTO THE AGE OF AQUARIUS, subtitled, AN ENLIGHTENING JOURNEY shows how this is possible.
Is it Possible for Energetic Entity Spirits to Affect Humanity Today?
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12
This post comes from October 7, 2025
Look at what happened in 325 CE when the Council of Nicaea took place, soon after the war between the Roman Empire against the Persian Empire, waged by Roman Emperor Julian. He wanted to revert to paganism yet needed to solidify the people. The Council of Laodicea declared Christian beliefs in the Creed, with only 30 like-minded bishops from six of the Latin-speaking regions of the Western world. There were 1,800 bishops at that time.
Who decided not to include the once Sacred Scriptures found at Nag Hammadi, Egypt from the scriptures that would become our current bible?
Most of the exclusion came at the hands of certain bishops, popes, anti-popes, and the Roman Emperors Julian and Jovian in the fourth century CE as the Christian religion was in the throes of becoming, or remaining, the official religion of the not so holy Roman Empire.
It is said that, before a pivotal battle, Emperor Constantine saw a cross in the sky and took it to mean if he converted to Christianity, he would win the battle. So, he did. (Such a wonderful reason for turning to the peaceful teachings of Christ). In 324 CE, he named the Christian religion, which had up until then, to one degree or another, been a reason for persecution by the government, to be the official religion of Rome. His successor, Julian, didn’t feel the same way. He wanted to return to the old order of pagan gods and Christian persecution.
At the Council of Laodicea, Julian and the bishops who were invited decided that, among other things, any stories of women being of prominence in the religion would be squashed, as would stories of fallen angels taking on human qualities and walking the earth. Other things discarded were the stories of the multiple “gods” who ruled the earth in early times, or their several re-incarnations. Most of what was found in The Nag Hammadi Scriptures and some of what was found in the Dead Sea Scrolls was left out.
What was going on in the Christian religion at that time?
Let’s see, there was Pope Liberius who was exiled by the emperor who then installed Felix II in 355 CE. Felix II was one of the anti-popes. The Council of Laodicea was held in 363 CE and 364 CE to establish what stories would be told in the Christian religion. The emperor Julian died in 363 CE. Then the leadership of the Roman Empire suffered some very quick successions, and between 363 CE and 366 CE there were four different Roman emperors, some ruling simultaneously.
When Felix II died in 366 CE, the Christian people elected Ursinus to be pope. At the time, however, the people’s choice also had to be run by the emperor for his ratification, and Damasus, who also wanted to be pope, and who had supported the high-born followers of Felix II the anti-pope, hired a bunch of thugs to massacre the followers of Ursinus.
Ursinus was exiled and Damasus became pope. Strangely, Ursinus (the people’s choice) was called the anti-pope. Damasus, (obviously the emperor’s choice,) was now the pope. He decided to solidify the findings of the Council of Laodicea that had been held during the Papacy of Felix II the anti-pope while Liberius (the real pope) was in exile. Those findings decided which books would be entered as the official bible of the Christian religion. Human error became the “word of God.”
Suffice it to say that at that time the scriptures were massaged to closely mirror the patriarchal society of Rome keeping in line with the inequality of gender judgments of the Christian, orthodox, and political religions.
It was the Catholic bishops attending the Council of Laodicea who unified theology, agreeing to ban the writings of the words of Jesus held within the bosom of books termed Apocryphal today. I would like to point out that it is no accident that politics and religion combined in that effort to spread the Roman Empire all over the world.
Have you ever noticed the Roman Catholic Church in just about every city in the world?
Jesus AND science follow the Eternal Universal Law of Nature within the accepted Laws of Thermodynamics, which I repeat here for emphasis since most religions trip on this part. Most religions teach that God always was, always will be, and always remains the same.
Religion’s understanding can only hold true IF religion’s comprehension allows for the fact that Eternal Universal Life Force Energy experiences and learns in and through you and me in the vast experiment of the Creation within eternity, thereby becoming part and parcel with all of it, animate and seemingly inanimate. This changes with each lived experience.
If religion’s “God” already knew the experience of Love and Wisdom, along with the effects of lack of Love and Wisdom within all the angels, fallen angels, humanity, and every other creation of which we are barely cognizant, there would be no reason for this ghastly experiment of life.
The reason we are here is not merely for some cosmic game of win or lose. It’s as if we need to be shaken by our shoulders, metaphysically speaking, to shake off the cobwebs of indoctrination of the eons of time, to finally understand that the Light that animates your life and my life, is Eternal Universal Life Force Energy experiencing Itself. This knowledge matters. If we do not come to grips with this reality now, we commit ourselves to other lifetimes until we do. Re-member, infinity is infinite. Yes, I spelled remember as re-member.
Why?
To re-member is to re-connect us to the bigger whole of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy.
The problems that have tripped up societies in history throughout the world when politics and religion are combined, are the same problems occurring globally today. It would be wise to pay attention, so we do not invite cataclysms into our lives and the planet, as if we did not know any better.
Turning a blind eye to Truth because of underlying religious and political undertones masking and giving permission to violent behaviors as justification for religious beliefs, wreak havoc on a civil society seeking the betterment of humanity, on one hand, while simultaneously causing the chaos they blame on others, on the other hand. Here is another example of doublethink of George Orwell’s 1984, holding two opposite ideas in your mind and believing both.
We see this playing out on the world’s stage today. We are smarter than this, but only if we allow ourselves to see what the problem is, not play the blame game with payback ramifications. It is time to mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually mature into the Life of the Eternal Universal Life Force Spirit/Soul Energy which we truly are.
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” Winston Churchill
Are you tired of being influenced and motivated by fear?
HAVE COURAGE.
There is a constant drumbeat of fear that echoes as an undercurrent in modern-day conspiracy theories and civic and social agendas. It is a way subtle and not so subtle leaders of groups have devised to get you to do what they want you to do.
Pay close attention. They want your mind, your time, and your money.
If you join their club, you will be absolved of your God-given free will, trading it instead for humanly contrived manipulations of your mind solely for their benefit. This happens in many groups such as those in religion, politics, and cults.
It is a gang mentality.
It starts out as a catchy ideology, a contagious new thought promising freedom, wealth, and liberty, while simultaneously enslaving your free will should you care to go further. Promising one thing while handing you another is a re-run by-product of George Orwell’s 1984, called double think.
HAVE COURAGE.
Roars of fear are plainly being played out on the world’s stage today. It is insidiously being indoctrinated into the minds of bible-belt children, and youth of the supposedly religious right-wing thinkers, with the repetitive negative drumbeat of fear, fear, fear with each striking of the drumstick.
Fear of others who are not exactly like themselves strikes at the heart of those with this hijacked mindset.
Fear that there won’t be enough food is shown on social media as if that is the truth.
Fear of water depletion, good, clean drinking water, and water to safely swim in is highlighted, as if there is no possible way to correct human error and waste.
Fear of lack of housing, goods, and clothing all get shined in the spotlight as if there is no way humanity can solve this issue.
HAVE COURAGE.
The reality is that there are numerous wholesome groups already at work in the world, helping the less fortunate, feeding and clothing the poor, and educating children and adults. You have the knowledge and ability to solve the global climate crisis when all the information is allowed to be reported. You also have seen one side of politics attempt to hide facts, such as global warming and climate change. Pretending that this is not happening is not helpful to you or the world. This is also at work in your world today.
Another reality is that all human beings are born with the Light and Life of our Spirits/Souls regardless of your gender, age, race, creed, or any other observation that notices the unique differences between individuals.
This is because all human beings are a Spark of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy which is God-given, not humanly derived. All Life is “God-given” in the religious comprehension, yet Eternal Universal Life Force Energy is not religious, but science based.
HAVE COURAGE.
The mentality of lack and agendas of fear are insidiously being indoctrinated into some home-schooling curriculums promising critical thinking while delivering fear to elementary school youth. I saw these curriculums online promoting that children in the USA need to be cautious against Socialism, Communism, and Marxism in the United States of America.
What they did not promote was the fact that the United States is a constitutional republic with social programs, like Social Security. The US Constitution protects the republic of the United States of America, meaning each one of us.
Let’s not go back to the 1950’s with ignorance at the helm of education, thinking white people with blue eyes are better than better than any other type of human being.
HAVE COURAGE.
Now is the time for you to call out racism, sexism, and all other hate crimes which are based in FEAR, because this is the UNITED Sates of America, the land of the FREE, not the oppressed.
By addressing the unbridled FEAR within you, and your children, you can continue to make the path of Liberty clear. This is something you need to stand up for, not becoming saddled by the FEARS of others manipulated agendas.
I have a secret. If this book has found its way into your hands, it is important that you read it so you can know the secret too. I discovered this secret after fifty years of research through traditional religious thinking that Jesus taught to the multitudes before I dared delve deep into the secret knowledge that he only shared with his apostles, and during his eighteen missing years from ages twelve to thirty, which are not included in the bible. Who would not want you to know this?
I am also not the only one who knows this secret. The information I am sharing has been shared many times before by learned sages of the occult and enlightened metaphysical human beings since the dawn of time, including Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky in the 1880s. Even she credits the numerous many others who preceded her and have shared this esoteric knowledge, writing thirty-two pages in her Preface and Introduction in her first famous volume of one of the best books written on esoteric sciences, The Secret Doctrine, Book 1.
Madame Blavatsky documents metaphysical, scientific, and technological knowledge in extensive detail that backs up the esoteric knowledge of which I am writing. Suffice it to say, all energy workers today have tapped into this knowledge, which supersedes all manipulated religious thought. The concepts I am discussing in this book are as old as the Earth itself.
What I share with you in this book has been secret occult knowledge, saved and protected by the sages of old as an attempt to keep the esoteric teachings secret. However, in the process of keeping secrets, inklings of truth have emerged, barely shedding Light in the cobwebs of the mind of humanity. The result of this casts long and wary shadows on the realization of who you truly are, where you came from, and why you are here now reading this book.
Allow yourself to read that which you may never have known. Hidden knowledge was hidden for a reason, especially those missing 18 years of the life of Jesus, for unholy purposes. Jesus had much to say. He was not missing, nor were the words he said and shared with his apostles. The information provided in this book is meant to reveal information to you that can enlighten you. It is only by reading the Sacred Scriptures found at Nag Hammadi that all the life of Jesus is reveled.
What I am sharing is no secret to psychic people who tap into Eternal Universal Life Force Energy. What I am sharing is so riveting and jolting to organized control systems of thought that many have been ostracized from their communities who pretend to operate on truth, love, and peace. Some groups of social, political, and religious people prefer their own made-up versions of today’s adulterated bible, incomplete histories, subservient roles, especially of women, and everyone else who does not fit into their half-baked muffin tin, and who have the audacity to say, “God said it.”
This is the reason for this book. It delves into the Angelic (including Energetic Entities, masters, ascended masters, and famous people) in a relevant quote beginning each chapter, which also refers to similar vibrational frequencies in the Mineral, Plant, and Animal Kingdoms to further explain how to best incorporate Eternal Universal Life Force Energy into your life.
The quote opening each chapter is followed by the energy of the Angel, Master or Ascended Master Kingdom section, then each of the Mineral, Plant and Animal Kingdoms respectively.
Researching your family history is a noble quest in this life showing you where your family traits and similarities originated. But deeper dives into how you graced this planet at this time make even greater illuminations as you discover the Monads, which are threads of your vibrational frequencies inherent within your DNA. They are links to your mental, physical, and spiritual ancestry. You are comprised of the Limitless Living Light Energy of the stars and all the kingdoms. This dynamic Living Limitless Light of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy supersedes everything, including stunted systems of belief about the various versions of the knowledge of God, Jesus; and Holy Spirit, otherwise known as Wisdom, the Mother Energy.
Wouldn’t you like to know the other words Jesus said covering those missing eighteen years?
This book reveals the familiar kingdoms mentioned above, as they apply to each chapter and your life. Reading this book is an opportunity to match the vibrational frequencies of each chapter in Book 1 in this trilogy, IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled, UNIVERSAL WISDOM, with the realms beyond human physical reality every day. This can raise the lower vibrations of dysfunction, sabotage, and self-sabotage, by transforming them to their highest potential. All healing begins with connecting to all the spiritual tools available to you, not just the limited scope of traditional western medicine, as good as it is, and going to someone else for energy work sessions.
I begin all energy work classes that I teach with a talk on semantics. For example, Eternal Universal Life Force Energy is synonymous with God. Using different words to arrive at the same point is the point.
The human brain can get stuck in terminology, often narrowing understanding to such a myopic view that humanity often cannot see the forest for the trees, for the Ents[1] are in the way. Let this book be a treasure hunt for you, just like each facet of a brilliant diamond assists in the beauty of the whole diamond, one facet not being greater than any other. New synapses connect the human brain, fanning the flames of the burning desire for exactly what Jesus taught to his apostles, as taught in Book 1, IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled, UNIVERSAL WISDOM, of this trilogy.
This third book in the trilogy, Nature Spirit Wisdom, subtitled, Light Within The Angel, Mineral, Plant, And Animal Kingdoms, teaches how the energies of these kingdoms can help you in daily living by not only having crystals, plants, and animals in your room, home, yard, vehicles, and workspace, for example, but also teaches about grids and vortexes, such as the Bermuda Triangle, Sedona, and all of the pyramids of the world. Each chapter will teach you how to raise the vibrational frequency of the places you live, your self-help thought processes, and by the jewelry you wear, or choose to have around you. These energies can also affect your healing process. It’s all about Eternal Universal Life Force Energy.
The second book in this trilogy, THE RED BAG OF COURAGE, subtitled SURVIVAL WISDOM, is about self-empowerment and personal freedom. You too can recover. It concludes with self-help solutions to life’s most precarious sabotage traps. Seek to broaden the scope of the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual tools available to help you heal beyond what you have previously attempted. I share a personal glimpse of what has hurt me and the natural remedies I used to heal me. You too can heal.
Energetic symmetry is reflected within the Angel (Energetic Entities), Mineral, Plant, and Animal Kingdom sections in each chapter in NATURE SPIRIT WISDOM, manifesting in the mission, dharma, and karma of the Earth and everything on it, including you. It is a symbiotic relationship pulsing with life affected by each thought, word, and action you decide to think, say, and do.
Each chapter demonstrates the energetic tripod of mind, body, and Spirit/Soul through your life experience. I used to teach a different tripod paradigm when I gave the Study Talk on Cursillo Weekends for Women in the Worcester Diocese. The strong foundation of a tripod was well-known by the Masons in their sturdy foundations of buildings which remain standing today. It is the strongest symbol there is in the cosmos. While I share my life with you in each chapter, you may see yourself in the various situations, choices, and lessons learned in this process.
What has been the foundation of your belief? Were you indoctrinated to believe that you need a leader, priest, rabbi or guru? Were all your questions answered within your belief system without you agreeing that you were born a sinner before you took your first breath?
I thank all the spiritual and esoteric teachers in my life, but most importantly, I thank my mother. I wear her garnet ring every day, which she gave me on my fortieth birthday since we both had a January birthday. Evidently, I was supposed to be born in December, but I was even late for my own birth. I learned many facets of truth from her which are now integrated into this book of vast and multidimensional energies for your benefit.
Mom taught me that I had a special Guardian Angel, which you have too, and about the Archangels Gabriel and Michael, opening the door to the other realms of existence. She taught me prayers, like, “Now I lay me down to sleep. If I should die before I wake …. Mom what’s die mean?” I remember Mom answered by saying that all living things die, but that it wouldn’t happen for a very long time. I thank her for her deep well of wisdom and love that never ran dry.
I also thank Karyl Sheridan, one of the metaphysical teachers I learned the most from at DoveStar Institute in Hooksett, New Hampshire, along with the school’s founder, the late Kamala (Renner) St. Germain.
Karyl taught most of the classes I took there and was the first person to introduce me to the beautiful and energetic world of crystals. In the first class I took from her, she went around the room with a collection of colorful crystals in the palm of her hand. She told the roomful of students to pick out the one that spoke to us as she walked to each one sitting in a circle before her. I chose a cube of striated green malachite, a gemstone of transformation, and transform I did. It is a gemstone that has stayed with me these twenty-five years since then. Even today I am wearing a special druse malachite that sparkles as I write this book, just as I wore with the writing of the first book in this trilogy.
Special thanks go to Phyllis Brooks for her incredible knowledge of vibrational transformation in dealing with flower essences and gem elixirs. Phyllis is the teacher and founder of the Taliloquay School of Energy Remedies. I have taken both of her classes on Demystifying Flower Essences and how to make them. After using her flower essences and gem elixirs, I must say that I get more relief with no side effects, especially from stress-related imbalances from them than I do from western medicine chemicals which imitate the nature kingdom. I find western medicine usually masks the problems by only addressing the symptoms and presenting a host of negative side-effects. I do believe in complementary rather than the word alternative medicine, because when I do need surgery, I do go along with that. That is not an either/or situation. Phyllis’ website is: www.taliloquay.com.
“Flower Essences and Gem Elixirs can help us move through these times and make these changes with more grace and less pain. Essences are powerful, gentle, and safe, and just what many of us need right now. They are made from healthy vibrations of flowers and gemstones. My focus in making and distributing these essences has always been to help humanity through this exciting transition. Deep Release, Diamond Light Integration, and Alchemical Transformation combinations are especially useful for this, as well as many of the new Evolutionary Gem Elixirs from gemstones that are just now making themselves available to us,” said Phyllis.
In this book, NATURE SPIRIT WISDOM, I include amphibians and reptiles in the Animal Kingdom sections, like I also include angels, masters and ascended masters in the Energetic Entity Kingdom sections, since they draw on similar energetic principles and lessons.
Each chapter will conclude with a guided meditation. Read slowly and stop when you feel the need to ponder a point, then continue at your own pace. If your mind wanders, simply bring your attention back to the words without self-recrimination. The meditations are intended to bring you deeper into personal enlightenment, those moments of brilliance that occur when you allow yourself to discover something new or acknowledge an underlying truth that suddenly comes to light.
Pay attention to extraneous thoughts that cross your mind, even if the thoughts seem totally unrelated to the theme. The energies of angels, crystals, plants, and animals will come to your attention in a wide variety of ways. It is the way the Eternal Universal Life Force Energy wraps you in a hug of the Light and Love of Life.
Now for a word about copyrights, all esoteric occult teachings go back thousands upon thousands of years. I have researched much of this material as have numerous other authors who all arrive at the same point of information, sharing their comprehension, and copyrighting their books and online websites. But they are not the first to uncover that which has laid hidden and been abused by religious, political, and social cults of fear, obligation, guilt, and manipulation. You will find the same information echoed in this book as the original metaphysical occult histories teach. Copyrighting individual interpretations of this esoteric knowledge is like copyrighting the sun rising and setting, which happens with and without our comprehension.
I am the metaphysical bridge between ancient occult knowledge and the modern-day mind, now opening like a tight rose bud daring to become the full-blown rose of comprehension. When I gave monthly meditations 20 years ago at my business, The Massage Clinic, with 4 offices in Connecticut, I would tell everyone that I am a bridge between the Old Way and the New Way, otherwise known as the Old Age and the New Age.I share my comprehension for the betterment of humanity, daring to delve deep into this arcane knowledge, once kept under lock and key.
Check with your doctor before attempting any natural remedy mentioned in this book. The reason they are mentioned in the Plant Kingdom sections in each chapter is because either they have the vibrational frequency that matches the subject matter, or the color and/or look of the plant helps to explain the subject matter in a visual way. I am not recommending readers ingest or use Plant Kingdom examples mentioned in place of your doctor’s expert medical care.
The following is taken from NATURE SPIRIT WISDOM, subtitled, LIGHT WITHIN THE ANGEL, MINERAL, PLANT, AND ANIMAL KINGDOMS:
It is your mission in this lifetime to get out from under someone else’s thumb of various social, political, and religious belief systems. This is such a shocking thing to finally come to grips with, that you might find yourself spending years, like I did, metaphysically revolting against such notions.
I am not telling you what to believe.
What I am saying is to think for yourself. Drop the fear and decide to never again be motivated by any person, place, or thing threatening you and your immortal Soul. Re-member who you are, as in reconnecting to the Eternal Universal Life Force Energy from which you are made. Ask for the guidance of Gabriel to help you with this part.
In my case, my questions never ceased until the day I pondered the possibility that I might be wrong. Who wants to admit they are wrong, especially after a lifetime of thinking, believing, and maybe even teaching doctrines of religion, politics, and social fodder of the day?
Your human origin is merely a complication of the real Original Sin, that of the Sophia/Wisdom dynamic of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy, creating without Jesus/Love, as was the initial plan. IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS in this series teaches what Enoch and Jesus taught, that Sophia’s snake-like creation, Yaldabaoth, came to the Earth, created the archons noted in the Nag Hammadi Scriptures, which in turn created humanity. This is the Original Sin, not the alleged and mythological fable of that poisoned apple in the famous garden.
Enoch and Jesus taught that the “God” most religions pontificate as being the One True God, is not. Just because this information was hidden from you does not make it false. It takes time to study these words of Jesus, and sitting with this information, without dismissing it as I did for years, until most of your time on Earth has gone by.
Hopefully, I get another sixty-nine years, but that would make me one hundred and thirty-eight years old. I wish I had not been so fearful because of the indoctrination I received without realizing that I was, in fact, being indoctrinated into the Catholic, Baptist, and Jehovah’s Witness religions. Most people in Christianity are quick to yell, “Heresy,” without realizing how indoctrinated they are by false information, the first conspiracy and pack of lies.
No one likes being lied to, or used to spread rumors and conspiracies as if they were the same things as truth. It can be embarrassing for you to get to this point if this has happened to you. But better to correct such falsehoods when you recognize this situation by calling on the powerful Light that comes from the assistance of Gabriel.
This is happening in real time on the political scenes of the world. Being an ostrich and sticking your head in the sand regarding climate change and global warming helps only the oil and coal industries and tycoons running them to line their pockets with your dollars while we all watch the polar ice caps melt into one-hundred-degree oceans, and never-before-reached record heat waves and fires on every continent, regardless of which political party you choose. Ignorance is not bliss.
The mission of Jesus always was to save humanity from the ignorance placed upon them through censorship of truth from the beginning of human time, even in his time. The Jewish faith says that Yahweh, Jehovah, or a host of other names is also the “God” of the Old Testament.[1]
The information gathered in the Nag Hammadi Scriptures, preserved, and found in pottery covered jars that were buried in the city of Nag Hammadi in Upper Egypt, and valuable knowledge found in the Dead Sea Scrolls found in 1947 by a young Arab shepherd who climbed into a cave in Qumran, shines the Eternal Universal Light on once hidden and long forgotten history. This is a good place to start to correct this misinformation.
Jesus came to eradicate conspiracies and lies which remain popular methods of evil forces and renegade Spirits to this day, since their Souls never died when their unholy bodies did at the time of the global and cataclysmic flood. The spirits of the archons are alive and well, as current events show on the world’s stage. Warring nations prefer to call it the “theater,” but this is no musical. Gabriel stood by Jesus, as Jesus stands by you if you use your free will to assist you in your mission in this lifetime.
Gabriel is with Jesus Christ in Luke 17:20-21, as Jesus answers the Pharisees when they asked when the kingdom of God would come. Christ says it is useless to search for the Kingdom of God since it is already within you. But this quote was edited by scribes of the day changing the original word “within you” to “among you,” or “among [because of my Presence].”[2] This is a human attempt to put an agenda on the words of Jesus, which is a different mission other than his.
Jesus the Christ meant what he said that the Kingdom of God, or Light of God, is “within” you. This is your life force animating your Soul, your I AM Presence, your Christ Self, affecting your mission in this life. People of the Old Testament did not know this because they were following the wrong god home.
Think about this for a minute. If you have wisdom and knowledge, but not love, you have what 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 teaches:
“If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
“Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now, we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

If you are proud that you hate someone or a group of people who do not think or believe the way you do, then you are not a Christian.

Hello and welcome to this talk, HEALING POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL INDOCTRINATIONS, written by me, Linda Hourihan, HHCP, and delivered by AI, produced by Book Publisher USA.com. The HHCP after my name stands for holistic health counselor practitioner.
It is vitally important to maintain integrity while AI is learning how to integrate itself into the modern world. Currently there is a lawsuit in court with AI, which is accused of stealing the book from an author and another from a publisher. In my opinion, we should keep in mind this transition into AI assisted platforms, copyright and trademarked books, art and works of all kinds must be acknowledged and compensated.
No mind has the ability to think freely until it is unbound from the restraints of cults, cults that come in many disguises.
Please listen to this talk, even if it goes against what you’ve learned so far in life.
I invite you to listen to this without an answer running in your head, without automatically thinking, “That’s not what I was told,” or “That’s not what I teach,” or “That’s not what I believe.”
When I was researching my Canadian French genealogy, I discovered that I had several of the Daughters of the King of France in my lineage.
Some of the women chose to marry Native Americans, settled along the St. Lawrence River, and later became known as the Metis, traveling along the Oregon Trail or south to New England and the eastern coast of the United States of America, or to New Orleans with their fleur-de-lis French trademark.
SONGS UPON THE RIVERS is a book about those who first blazed the famous path now known as the Oregon Trail.
It tells of the buried history of the French speaking Canadians and the Metis from the Great Lakes and the Mississippi across to the Pacific.
In elementary school we all learned about Merriweather Lewis, of the Lewis and Clark expedition exploring the trail westward to California. What was withheld was that he found it abhorrent that a white French woman would marry a Native American.
He did not write about the Metis making their way along the Oregon Trail before he did. As a result, not many people know the accurate history of the Metis forging the Oregon Trail before Lewis stamped his name on it.
History was handled so only one side of the story got told for reasons of personal power, fame, and fortune.
We need to be careful when searching for hidden histories in religion, politics, and social groups. There may be a tendency to come up with conspiracy theories or spin half-truths as if that is all there is.
Truth matters.
Later I made the decision to investigate my spiritual genealogy and the truth about Jesus the Christ wherever I could find it. Why? Because I could not explain the missing links in his lifeline.
My eternal question was, why was I only allowed to get a brief sanitized version of his life from birth to age 12, and then only 3 years from his ages 30 to 33?
Wouldn’t you want to know more than 3 years of the life of Jesus, even if you are not a Christian?
I’ll get back to this later.
In the popular romantic crime-solving television show, Castle, notice how characters, Nathan Fillion as Richard Castle and Stana Katic as Kate Beckett, first find their culprit, the possible criminal.
But upon further investigation, they discover that they have accused the wrong person. They do not keep prosecuting the first person who they thought committed the crime.
Why?
Because the wrong person would be tried, convicted, and punished.
It is vital to stay current with the truth of updated information, including your opinions of where the truth is, no matter how inconvenient that may be.
This talk will address 4 points. Remember to always have Courage, ask Questions, have Conviction, and continue your Quest.
Have courage to look deeper into your belief systems on any subject.
Notice that you are intimately, eternally, and universally connected to the very active life force, your “chi” that animates your very next breath. It is not outside of you, but WITHIN YOU.
There is more to your place on this planet than you may first realize. You are more than your job, your role in your family and with your friends. There is also more to discover than what has most likely been revealed to you. Allow yourself to know that there is more to know.
You actively seek to share your lives in your families, with your friends, in your workplaces, and out into the world while simultaneously retaining your personal power, your fame which is your reputation, and your fortune, the keys to your cash.
Have you ever observed how many people, organizations, employers, and opinion hubs such as politics, religions and certain social groups, seek to usurp your personal power, your fame, and your fortune?
How do you continue growing as a person at the same time so many establishments seek to lay claim to your personal power, your fame, and your fortune for their own?
The life force energy animating you is the Light of your Spirit. It brings life to your Soul through your thoughts and emotions. This is the Limitless Living Light of your personal Spark of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy. Without it, you would not be alive, no matter what your belief system is.
This is what Luke 17:20-21 talks about when Jesus says this Light is WITHIN YOU.
All cults I have studied say they are not a cult.
Let’s look closer.
Having courage is the key. Here is a quote from my book now in its second printing, IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled UNIVERSAL WISDOM. The publisher put this quote on the back cover: “Now is the time for courage. Courage does not mean having no fear. Rather, courage is feeling fear, but peacefully doing the right thing, the moral thing, with integrity, despite the presence of fear.” And yes, fear has many disguises.
Technically, fear is not a “thing.” Fear is what resides in the void, in the lack, in the worry, the ignorant forecast of gloom and doom, considering only the worst that can happen.
Fear is the prime motivating force some groups use to bend the free will of others to either conform, be punished, or be kicked out of the group.
I have witnessed several groups each telling me that they are not a cult while adhering to well-known Cult Markers.
Here are Fourteen Cult Markers to watch out for:
The group displays excessively zealous and unquestioning commitment to its leader, and, whether he is alive or dead, regards his belief system, ideology, and practices as the Truth, as Law.
Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or punished.
Mind-altering practices, such as meditation, chanting, speaking in tongues, denunciation sessions, or debilitating work routines, are used in excess and suppress doubts about the group and its leader or leaders.
The leadership dictates, sometimes in great detail, how members should think, act, and feel. For example, members must get permission to date, change jobs, or marry or leaders prescribe what to wear, where to live, whether to have children, how to discipline children, and so forth.
The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader, and its members. For example, the leader is considered the Messiah, a special being, an avatar, or the group and or the leader is on a special mission to save humanity.
The group has a polarized, us-versus-them mentality.
The leader is not accountable to any authorities, unlike, for example, teachers, military commanders, or ministers, priests, monks, and rabbis of mainstream religious denominations.
The group teaches or implies that its supposedly exalted ends justify whatever means it deems necessary. This may result in members participating in behaviors or activities they would have considered reprehensible or unethical before joining the group. For example, lying to family or friends, or collecting money for bogus charities.
The leadership induces feelings of shame and or guilt to influence and control members.
Subservience to the leader or group requires members to cut ties with family and friends and radically alter the personal goals and activities they had before joining the group.
The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.
The group is preoccupied with making money.
Members are expected to devote inordinate amounts of time to the group and group related activities.
Members are encouraged or required to live and or socialize only with other group members.
Every person on the planet is born with free will since birth. Not one leader of any kind is in charge of your freedom in mind and body, and especially your Spirit.
You are in charge of you.
Your Spirit is a Spark of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy. This is your I Am Presence animating your physical body.
Marquette University.edu taught the Gospel of Thomas, and in the 4th verse, Jesus said, “The man old in days will not hesitate to ask a small child seven days old about the place of life, and he will live.”
Why?
Because as limited as an infant is, it knows it exists and will do what it takes to cry to be taken care of.
Remember to question everything, what others have told you to believe, and what you have decided you want to believe.
Who told you that you may not read any of the hidden writings of ancient history, especially religious, political, and educational history?
Who is it who is limiting and pontificating what you may learn, read and know, including all knowledge all over the world?
Is anyone threatening your life or your Spirit, or your Soul?
I am not saying you need to think what I think, or what anyone else thinks.
It is vital that you allow yourself to think for yourself.
While you know this, how much of your Spirit do you allow others to get their hooks into, indoctrinating you so you believe what they tell you to believe, so you fit into their club or organization?
Notice if various forms of threats to you are the motivating force others use to get you to bend your will to their will. This may come in the form of threats to your immortal Spirit, Soul or being physically ostracized out of the group.
Censorship and hiding important information are the first tip offs that you might be in a cult. It’s easier than you might first think. I know. I have been there.
Have mercy on the gurus who think it is their job to “save” you. Have empathy and compassion for them because they are not aware that even they are indoctrinated because indoctrinated people indoctrinated them. They are simply trying to follow “the rules” and “get it right.”
Ask questions. Are you allowed to question your faith? Asking questions is a good place to start in any area of your life. Your heart is a safe place to reassess your goals, hopes, and dreams.
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time is like trying to walk with your shoes on the wrong feet. When something needs to change, it just feels wrong.
Keep a journal. It is a good way to track how you feel. Your feelings are the true barometer telling you that you are on the right track for your life, or not.
When you deny your feelings and do not ask yourself questions that need to be asked, you get sick. At least I did.
I faced my fears and found my voice and wrote MY RED BAG OF COURAGE, subtitled, SURVIVAL WISDOM to help others who might be indoctrinated without fully realizing what happened to them. It is time to reclaim your personal power, your fame, which is your good reputation, and your own fortune, the keys to your cash.
I was married at 16 years old on purpose to get out of a house I was afraid to live in with my adopted father. I was also very Catholic and, for decades, divorce was not an option, according to the rules of my faith at that time.
I offered up my conflicts as a total oblation of who and what I was, a dedicated wife and mother of 5 growing children from the ages of 10 to 22 at that time, until my doctor prescribed Zoloft for my increasing panic attacks.
When I finally questioned myself, I had to be truthful. I decided to treat the root of the problem, not only the symptoms of my life which were making me ill. I made the unpopular decision to get a divorce. That is when my life began to heal, mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
Ask yourself this question, are you in the right place at this moment in your life?
Are you in the right job?
Are you in the right relationship with the person you are with?
Are you safe?
Are you happy?
There are positive solutions to all these questions. Seek out a holistic health counselor or mental health professional in your area if you need to. You, too, can heal.
It takes conviction to break out from under the heavy thumbs of indoctrination and complacency. Listen to your inner voice when information goes against what you know to be true.
Have conviction.
There are opportunities for us to bring fairness into our professional work worlds, just like the US Women’s Soccer Team did. They stayed with their conviction to fix an unjust work situation for six years. It worked.
Notice the undercurrent of male domination in the time it has taken for the US Women’s Soccer Team in FIFA to stop being paid thirty-eight percent of men’s pay while producing a markedly more successful product than the men’s team.
In February 2022, the US Women’s National Soccer Team won their case after six years of federal complaints and three years of litigation after decades of domination of the women’s circuit.
Why did they have to go to court to achieve what is only fair?
Next let’s look at the Genographic Project, launched April 13, 2005. This was a joint venture between the National Geographic Society and IBM.
The goal was a genetic anthropological study, that aimed to map historical human migrations patterns by human beings all over the Earth by collecting and analyzing DNA samples.
The studies traced 300,000 genetic markers that followed humanity’s travels all over the Earth for a stunning 150,000 years.
The Genographic Project came to an unceremonial end and the site was retired after 1,006,543 participants in more than 140 countries had joined the project.
Let’s take a closer look to see why education about the migration of human history had to stop.
The knowledge gleaned from the Genographic Project research caused concern that could clash with long-held beliefs of indigenous peoples and threaten their cultures.
Isn’t this how all cults operate?
Education is key to understanding all of humanity.
How is it that all Genographic DNA Ancestry Project knowledge of tracing human beings all over the world had to stop because one group of human beings did not believe that way?
I mean no disrespect. But who is it that decided to hide the truth of traceable human history because one group of humanity disagreed?
I honor and respect the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. I believe in their freedom to hold and practice their own beliefs.
I do not agree that I must only learn what agrees with their beliefs.
I ask, does all of humanity have to stop learning about the origin of human history because one group of humanity believes in something different?
This seems illogical to me.
So far, we have discussed you having courage; your right and duty to question your own beliefs; having your own conviction to live your life as you see fit; and now for the key, which is your quest to discover what has been hidden from you.
There are dear friends in our associations with our religious groups, our political affiliations, and even in our social settings.
Who wants to ruffle the feathers of our family, friends, co-workers, bosses, clients, and everyone else in our wider community of associations?
The question is, once you allow yourself to learn more than what you know now, do you stay with what is comfortable, or do you choose to continue growing as a person mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually?
This quest is your thirst for more accurate knowledge. Reassessing what you believe spiritually may be a hot button for you personally. I will share with you one last thing I thought I would never say. And that is, the Father of Jesus may not be the father of humanity.
I grew up very Catholic. I loved my faith for 60 years and still follow the words of Jesus.
But now I read and study ALL the words of Jesus, not just his famous years from his ages 30 to 33, for a total of 3 years.
How would you like to only be known for your first 12 years of life, and then only consider some of what you said between your ages 30 to 33?
I attended morning Mass every morning as a child with my mother. When I was 13, the priest asked me to teach CCD to the students in grades 1-3, so I did.
As I grew older, I was looking for more opportunities within the Catholic Church to be more involved. I got my Master Catechist training through the Worcester Diocese in Massachusetts.
I went on a Cursillo Weekend. Cursillo is a Catholic retreat started in part by then Bishop Juan Hervas from Spain along with layman Eduardo Bonnin and Father Sebastian Gaya. I joined the Cursillo Leader’s School and gave the Study talk on future Women’s Cursillo Retreats.
I attended a Life In the Spirit Seminar. I could not get enough of God and attended the following meetings they had.
Still, I felt something was missing.
I joined Opus Dei, and became a Supernumerary. It is interesting to note that the founder of Opus Dei, then known as Father Josemaria Escriva, is now a Saint in the Catholic Church.
He was also friends in Spain with Bishop Juan Hervas, both of whom desired to light a spiritual fire under the sleeping congregations of pastoral sheep of the world.
It was suffocation. I had to leave. I had never seen so much censorship in all my life. I asked my female spiritual director why I had to offer up so much sacrifice.
“To make up for what is lacking in the sufferings of Jesus Christ,” came the immediate answer.
As I said in my book IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, if being crucified on the cross was not enough sacrifice, which left vast chasms with not enough suffering to make up for the sins of humanity, then my washing a floor on my knees or skipping a meal could not possibly make up for what was supposedly missing in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, nor aide the starving children in the world.
That’s when I truly began my quest and allowed myself to read and study what else Jesus had to say.
Who is it really who would not want you to know what Jesus said?
I am truly a Christian, but now I read, study, and follow all the words that Jesus said, not only some of them.
In your quest I advise you to drop fear, obligation, and guilt, known as fog, and begin to recognize the manipulation of others. These are forms of emotional blackmail.
Be honest with yourself and notice when fog rolls in over your emotional Self, especially with this next important missing piece of information.
It is the very reason the Cathars were exterminated. History was being manipulated, as if by hiding information, belief systems could be altered for unholy purposes of usurping the personal power, fame, and fortune of the people.
Jesus said, “I tell you, listen and understand. For many when they hear, will be fainthearted, but you, understand in the way I can tell you. You father is not my Father, but my Father has become a father to you.”
This comes from The Second Revelation of James under the heading, James Tells What Jesus Said Regarding Two Fathers.
The scripture refers to His Father with a capital “F” and humanity’s father with a lower case “f.” This is what having and using your conscience is all about.
The Father of Jesus is also known as Eternal Universal Life Force Energy. Your Spirit and Soul are a Spark of this same Energy.
However, you are more than just your Spirit and Soul. Your physical biology comes from the lower case ‘f” father which Jesus taught to James.
This would be easy to discount if it weren’t for the same thing accounted for in the gospel of John 8:37-38 in today’s bibles where it says,
“I know you are Abraham’s descendants, but you are trying to kill Me because My word has no place within you. I speak of what I have seen in the presence of the Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.” John 8:37-38
Since censorship hid these words, how would you ever know what was hidden from you under threats of excommunication if you did not research this for yourself?
These are some of the missing words of Jesus that were buried, because they disagreed with the religious teachings of His time.
Revelation of other hidden knowledge reveals that just like many other crucified people in his day, Jesus survived the crucifixion. The proof is documented in several books.
If you do not allow yourself to know this, you stay indoctrinated. Some people do not even allow themselves to hear or consider this information.
At the very least, you have a right to know and make up your own mind. You decide what you believe. You have the right to investigate this in books such as THE CHRIST OF INDIA, THE STORY OF ORIGINAL CHRISTIANITY by Abbot George Burke, and in another book entitled, JESUS IN INDIA by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian.
Light of knowledge illuminates these words.
Knowledge is power.
By hiding the powerful words of Jesus, the spiritual shepherds since that time could usurp the personal power of their flocks, assume the individual fame and reputation of their congregations, and definitely obtain their fortunes, the keys to their cash.
You all have your personal faith journey. Again, I stress for you to listen to your own conscience. Your heart knows if something is missing.
It was amazing to me when I began to pay closer attention to who wanted me to abdicate my personal power, and wanted me to give up my fame, my reputation, and my fortune, the keys to my cash.
All indoctrinators of any kind want your personal power for themselves and will insist you bow down to their way of thinking, and will definitely want your monthly financial contributions, the keys to your cash.
A fair amount of emotional blackmail goes along with these indoctrinations.
All cults use fear, obligation, guilt, and manipulation, as emotional blackmail to be in their “club.”
In my opinion, the good news is truly what Jesus tried so hard to teach humanity and is the reason he was crucified.
It is so powerful that the powers in his day wanted to put an end to his teaching because it was so empowering to the people of his day. Today is a new day.
He said, in Luke 17:20-21, when the Pharisees asked when the Kingdom of God would come, Jesus said the Kingdom of God would not come with observation, but this Kingdom, which is the Limitless Living Light of the human Spirit/Soul, is WITHIN you and me.
You are a Spark of Eternal Universal Life Force Energy animating you.
All bibles today are going back to these words, because earlier they changed the words to say that the Kingdom of God is AMONG you. However, the footnote following that word AMONG, sends the reader to the bottom of the page which has the original word WITHIN written there.
This is what I teach. Learning this powerful lesson is life changing. You are more powerful than realize.
The truth is not in some cult, or other numerous trains of thought, but within yourself, if you have the courage to question your convictions and set out on a quest to find your truth.
These are the words of Linda Hourihan, HHCP which are delivered to you by AI created for you today by Book Publisher USA.com.
Have you ever spoken with someone who tells you that he or she knows what God thinks, what God wants you to do, or what their version of God will do to those who don’t obey what they think God wants?
These words are the spawn of FEAR, FEAR, FEAR. Political and religious fear mongers continue beating the drum of FEAR to motivate their followers to do their will, which they cannot do without their fear-filled followers. These leaders themselves are not filled with fear. Fear, obligation, and guilt, known as FOG, is the acronym used to refer to their arsenal of weapons, along with manipulation as a reinforcement.
These are loaded questions which require a deeper look at the intentions of people in all countries. Often the intentions of people with good will, who are following the dark and negative drumbeat of suspicion and conspiracy theories, are misguided. Their political and religious leaders seem to be coming from a place for the common good based on what they claim to be fact, that they know the mind of God.
BEWARE OF THESE PEOPLE. If anarchy, destruction, chaos, and murder is their MO, Motis Operandi., their god is not the good God. You will know these people by their fruits.
Political leaders who claim they are standing on the principles of God would better serve the world as religious leaders, if that is their calling. Otherwise, political leaders ought to be serving the cause of the betterment of the humanity whom they say they care for, by positive solutions that build up. The USA has the separation of church and state for a very good reason.
What are good-hearted and good-willed people to do once they recognize that they have been deluded by the very ones they trusted, gave money to, and for whom they followed their direction only to discover their fearless leaders turned out to be corrupt and incorrect?
Do not hand over your personal power to anyone.
There are unscrupulous people in the world, some of whom pretend to be your friends, or claim to know what is better for you then yourselves. They want your money. They want your time. They want you to do their bidding, because on their own they cannot succeed. Do not follow the fox into the chicken coop.
Take a moment to reassess. Work for peace. Work for the common good of all people. Notice if the people you give money to are eating better than you. How many people of middle and lower economic status continue bailing out rich corporations, politicians, and religious entities with multiple multi-million-dollar estates and cathedrals and other religious houses of worship worldwide?
It is good to change your mind, when you discover you have been railroaded by corrupt minds. Recognize the delusion others may have pulled the wool over your eyes for a few years. But now that truth is uncovered, let the light shine on your peaceful, loving intentions, clear the cobwebs of your mind, and focus on the unity and harmony.
Insults and biting sarcasm are the lowest form of communication. Even children know and do this.
It takes strength of character to uncover the truth of the reality of what is taking place in the USA. You may have been on the wrong side of the issue. Now you may have a clearer understanding that the truth is not what you were told. Everyone makes mistakes. Mature character development can admit when lies were told to them as if they were the truth. Truth matters.
It’s not important to stay on the wrong course in order to save face, money, or friends. Now is the time to find out for yourself what the truth is. This is what can build a better tomorrow.
This book is a guide transforming a world of chaos into peaceful civil societies.
It is possible to change the contagious tide of aggression, hostility, and blinded egocentric indoctrination where the thinking that might is right when it is not.
Cults and their ensuing indoctrinations come in many forms, not only in religious circles, although the Maga supposed “Christians” do fall into this category. This is a perfect example of claiming to follow their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ while doing the exact opposite of what he preached. Jesus told Peter to put the sword down, remember?
Anyone boasting of hate-filled aggression, anger-filled hostility, and haughty ego-filled attitudes and agendas against anyone who does not think like them, speak like them, and act like them, tell on themselves as they follow the “god” of destruction, not the Almighty God, Father of Jesus Christ.
Farmers know that you cannot plant tomato seeds and reap corn. Architects know they cannot follow the blueprints to build a house and end up with a car engine. While these examples are common sense, indoctrinated Christians conveniently forget that Jesus never said to pick up that sword and fight, nor horde wealth, nor take unfair advantage of others not like themselves.
How does any society, and especially Christians who claim to follow Jesus Christ, get back to what Jesus Christ taught to humanity?
Continuing the drumbeat of hate and justification for war only serve to keep the steady dirge of dark energies alive.
Inconvenient truths irritate indoctrinated Christians. Christians who follow the laws of LOVE without conditions for every human being as Jesus taught have no problem with loving all humanity. This is the tip off that you might be following the wrong leader. No one wants to face the music that they have been following the wrong leader, but it is necessary to heal a hurting humanity.
TRANSITIONING INTO THE AGE OF AQUARIUS, subtitled, AN ENLIGHTENING JOURNEY, is the book that is shining a brilliant LIGHT in an ever-darkening world. The solution to what every person can do to create a better future is painfully easy. It is the personal ego that needs to be tamed. The human ego boarders on addiction.
TRANSITIONING INTO THE AGE OF AQUARIUS, subtitled, AN ENLIGHTENING JOURNEY is my latest book. I am a FINALIST in the 2025 International Impact AUTHOR OF THE YEAR writing competition for this book.
Virtues are the key to walking across the bridge from chaos to any civil society. This book paves the path that every human being can take. All it takes is a desire to heal your mind, body, and spirit as well as the world. Whatever you focus on grows. TRANSITIONING INTO THE AGE OF AQUARIUS, subtitled, AN ENLIGHTENING JOURNEY show how this is possible.
This is the long-awaited trophy that I was awarded for writing the book, IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled UNIVERSAL WISDOM in the 2024 International Impact Book Awards writing competition in the Social Change category.
Why am I only sharing this trophy with you now?
It is because I only received this acknowledgement of my years of research by special delivery yesterday. This book was originally published in October 2023. I submitted this book for the International Impact Book Awards contest early in 2024 and won in the Social Change category. However, it patiently waited on the custom docks due to surprise tariffs that held it hostage until its recent release.
This major award and achievement I earned is not merely a national award. It is an international award. Each individual country in this one beautiful world we all live on are much more connected than our human egos might want us to believe. We all share a common destiny for our human emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual lives.
All humanity is in this plight together, trying to live our lives as best as humanly possible. No one wants to be the ignorant fool who blows up the world to prove that his or her indoctrination in their understood brand of politics, religion, or social change is the only way to live in this one garden of life.
That would simply be a fool’s errand.
What has brought us to this precipice of deciding which “God” is better, which system of government is better, or which side of problem solving is better in the human dilemma of how to get along with each other?
This translates to this outrageous moment we all are finding ourselves in this exact moment. This trophy that I earned for studying religions, politics, and social structures of the world gave birth to my findings in this award-winning 3-book series, which also includes: MY RED BAG OF COURAGE, subtitled, SURVIVAL WISDOM, and the last book in this series, NATURE SPIRIT WISDOM, subtitled, LIGHT WITHIN THE ANGEL, MINERAL, PLANT, AND ANIMAL KINGDOMS.
I have 20 paperback copies of IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled UNIVERSAL WISDOM, left for purchase by anyone interested in buying them since this book is in its second printing, now with Book Publisher USA.com. I will let you know when it is again available. You may email me at linhourihan@yahoo.com if you wish to purchase this book so you do not have to wait for its second publication. It originally sold for $17.99. I will sell my remaining copies for $15 each, if you are interested in it.
Coming to grips with the understanding that humanity does not have to sink to the lowest common denominator in the adult sandbox of the world is a healing remedy to a hurting humanity. This is not an insult to any human being on the planet at this time. It is a peaceful solution which is possible for everyone.
What is it that fuels humanity in the direction that it truly does not want to go in?
Let’s take a closer look.
There is a cancer upon not only the Maga Christians today, which bases its understanding on the War God instead of the Father of Jesus Christ. If they do not know this, it is because this information has been hidden from public view for unholy purposes of gaining your personal power, fame (your reputation and “club” which you belong to), and fortune (the keys to your cash). I go into great detail about this in IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled, UNIVERSAL WISDOM. This book also explains the difference between the ever-popular War God and the Father of Jesus Christ. They are different.
Christians follow Jesus Christ. What did Jesus teach, was it war? No, Jesus taught love in all forms, forgiveness, turning the other cheek, and loving each other, no matter what happens. But the hate-filled War God made sure Jesus was crucified because the War God does not want peace, but the dark and inhuman promotion of war and all the materialism and greed that promotes it.
This is not only a “Christian” problem. The cancer that has spread to every religion tells on itself by revealing its fruits.
If it is hate-filled, you are following the “War God,” not the correction which Jesus Christ came to teach all humanity, regardless of which brand of human political, religious, or social indoctrination you are following.
Trying to prove you are right when you are not, is also a fool’s errand.
You do not pluck apples off an orange tree, and you do not gather figs off a cherry tree. You will know them by their fruits.
IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled UNIVERSAL WISDOM explains in empathetic and compassionate terms how following the War God will lead humanity to cataclysmic devastation, while following the words of understanding, problem solving, and seeking resolutions will be the life-giving seeds of peace and prosperity for all involved.
Hurting humanity in any way is the tell-tale mark of following the wrong War God home to a place where you do not wish to be.
The following picture is a snapshot of the engraving from the International Impact Book Awards committee that awarded me this prestigious award. The trophy stands upon this engraved base.
I am also a FINALIST in the 2025 International Impact AUTHOR OF THE YEAR writing competition for my latest book, TRANSITIONING INTO THE AGE OF AQUARIOUS, subtitled, AN ENLIGHTENING JOURNEY.
The future of humanity does not need to only be a dark and fearful place filled with multiple wars worldwide. We will grow whichever seeds we plant, either greed, ruthlessness, anger, and retaliation, or building up and healing all humanity in whichever corner of the world we call home with empathy, compassion, repair, common ground and ideals of peace, love, and happiness for all.
You are so powerful that you will reap exactly what you sow. First you manifest through your thoughts, then words, then actions.
Now is the time to build bridges, not walls, problem solve, not create the problems. It is the ego that gets in the way. Who wants to be wrong, or change course? Doesn’t that show weakeness?
No. Look at your children. Weakness is continuing to fight on the merry-go-round of lies and dysfunction. But strength, inner strength, is the upper hand of integrity and the backbone of character and adult maturity.
Now is the time to climb out of the adult sandbox of warlike games, and follow the Loving God, Father of Jesus Christ if anyone dares to call themselves Christians or religious people of any stripe. Christians supposedly follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. He taught peace, not war. Jesus told Peter to put down the sword. Remember?
Christians ought to know that Jesus Loved everybody. Jesus forgave everybody. Jesus said to follow him. As a Christian, how well are you following your leader?
Most current Americans are not descendants of the original immigrants who settled in the thirteen colonies. Most of modern families at some point in their genealogy are all immigrants who did not go through the complicated, lengthy, and expensive means to become citizens taking place today.
Emma Lazarus wrote The New Colossus, the foundation of principle on which stands for what the United States of America stands. It reads:
NOT LIKE THE BRAZEN GIANT OF GREEK FAME, WITH CONQUERING LIMBS ASTRIDE FROM LAND TO LAND; HERE AT OUR SEA-WASHED, SUNSET GATES SHALL STAND A MIGHTY WOMAN WITH A TORCH, WHOSE FLAME IS THE IMPRISONED LIGHTING, AND HER NAME MOTHER OF EXILES. FROM HER BEACON-HAND GLOWS WORLD-WIDE WELCOME: HER MILD EYES COMMAND THE AIR-BRIDGED HARBOR THAT TWIN CITIES FRAME, “KEEP ANCIENT LANDS, YOUR STORIED POMP!
CRIES SHE WITH SILENT LIPS. “GIVE ME YOUR TIRED, YOUR POOR, YOUR HUDDLE MASSES YEARNING TO BREATHE FREE, THE WRETCHED REFUSE OF YOUR TEEMING SHORE, SEND THESE, THE HOMELESS, TEMPEST-TOST TO ME, I LIFT MY LAMP BESIDE THE GOLDEN DOOR!”
THIS TABLET, WITH HER SONNET TO THE BARTHOLDL STATUE OF LIBERTY ENGRAVED UPON IT, IS PLACED UPON THESE WALLS IN LOVING MEMORY OF EMMA LAZARUS, BORN IN NEW YORK CITY, JULY 22, 1849, AND DIED NOVEMBER 19, 1887.
The Statue of Liberty stands for freedom, liberty and justice for all, not just for those who later arrive here and wish to live in patriarchal, oligarch, and authoritian countries from which they and their parents came and chose to leave.
“Close-up shot of the Liberty Bell with Independence Hall in the background at dusk. Located in downtown Philadelphia, this monument to liberty continues to draw crowds on a daily basis.You might also be interested in…”
The United States of American is one country, united in principles of freedom, liberty and justice for all law-abiding citizens. This is not the country that prejudiced and racist individuals can turn so quickly into the chaos they wish to spread in maligned hopes of overthrowing our government of one nation. They are seeking your power, fame, and fortune in favor of their own. The following map is of the Native American tribes who were the first inhabitants of the United States of America.
There are many influences that wish to sabotage Democracy, shown in the 2008 hate map below made by the Southern Poverty Law Group:
The desire of countries run by oligarchs and authoritarian figures would like nothing more than to deal with one ruler for 30 years or more. Finances would be much easier to the big money at the top of financial paradigms. Of course, these ones want to establish top-heavy leaders. But have you noticed that these at the top horde their riches? Trickle-down economics has proven to be a bust.
In the course of human development, spiritual maturity often trips on its way out of the sandbox of childish and greedy notions. Now is the time, if any of us do claim to be any flavor of Christian, to actually follow Christ and the principles he taught, none of which include treating other human beings as less than human.
We are all one United States of America.
This is what the United States really looks like, United Humanity, not only white Americans.
We are also members of One World.
God Bless Everyone Everywhere
Christians would not hate or deport anyone. That would be the sign of the wolf in sheep’s clothing.
What the Christian Right does not realize is that they are all indoctrinated. They only know what they have allowed themselves to know. For example, they are happy only knowing the first 12 childhood years of Jesus, and his years from 30-33, for a total of 15 years of the life of Jesus, all while calling what has been hidden from them for unholy purposes, “apocryphal,” and then having the audacity of calling themselves “Christian.” I say, how dare they!
I believe in Jesus Christ!
I believe in all of his life, including his life from his ages of 12-30, for an additional 18 years when he spent much of his life teaching everyone who did not care to hear what he said, because THEY WERE INDOCTRINATED from their earliest days, INCLUDING ALL OF HIS APOSTLES. Notice that Jesus only takes Peter, James, and John up the mountain where he is transfigured. None of his other apostles would have understood, BECAUSE THEY WERE PREVIOUSLY INDOCTRINATED.
When you never allow yourself to learn anything other than what you think you know, you will never continue learning ALL that Jesus taught. This is the cult mentality. Do you know the signs of being in a cult?
Cults hide under the words, “law and order.” Doesn’t law and order sound good? Don’t we all want law and order in our homes, communities, businesses, and courts? Notice the January 6, 2020, illegal storming of the United States Capitol Building. The problem is many groups, and religious and political cults want law and order for the other guy, not for themselves who they measure in their own minds to be above the law. Without realizing what they are doing, or maybe they do, many promote xenophobia, racism, sexism, and just about every other kind of “ism.” We need to take a closer examination of conscience to see if whether we have been unduly influenced by a cult. Fear is usually at the helm.
What religious and political cult leaders do know is how to exert concerted effort to influence, bully, control, manipulate, exploit, and in the worst cases to abuse your body, mind and spirit in their unholy aim.
This is abuse.
This is mental abuse.
This is physical abuse.
This is spiritual abuse.
ESCAPE FROM THESE ABUSERS AS SOON AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE.
There is more than one cult present in the world today. All of them deny that they are a cult. There are 14 tell-tale marks present in all cults. The following post points out these life-altering pitfalls to watch out for.
All cults have similar characteristics. Here is a list of 14 characteristics that help to define a cult:
1. • The group displays excessively zealous and unquestioning commitment to its leader, and (whether he is alive or dead) regards his belief system, ideology, and practices as the Truth, as law.
2. • Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished.
3. • Mind-altering practices (such as meditation, chanting, speaking in tongues, denunciation sessions, or debilitating work routines) are used in excess and serve to suppress doubts about the group and its leader(s).
4. • The leadership dictates, sometimes in great detail, how members should think, act, and feel (e.g., members must get permission to date, change jobs, or marry or leaders prescribe what to wear, where to live, whether to have children, how to discipline children, and so forth).
5. • The group is elitist, claiming a special, exalted status for itself, its leader(s), and its members (e.g., the leader is considered the Messiah, a special being, an avatar or the group and/or the leader is on a special mission to save humanity).
6. • The group has a polarized, us-versus-them mentality, which may cause conflict with the wider society.
7. • The leader is not accountable to any authorities (unlike, for example, teachers, military commanders, or ministers, priests, monks, and rabbis of mainstream religious denominations).
8. • The group teaches or implies that its supposedly exalted ends justify whatever means it deems necessary. This may result in members participating in behaviors or activities they would have considered reprehensible or unethical before joining the group (e.g., lying to family or friends, or collecting money for bogus charities).
9. • The leadership induces feelings of shame and/or guilt in order to influence and control members. Often this is done through peer pressure and subtle forms of persuasion.
10. • Subservience to the leader or group requires members to cut ties with family and friends, and radically alter the personal goals and activities they had before joining the group. Notice who is calling for your undivided allegiance.
11. • The group is preoccupied with bringing in new members.
12. • The group is preoccupied with making money. The group will disagree with this statement, but will be interested in you handing over your home and possessions at the end of your life.
13. • Members are expected to devote inordinate amounts of time to the group and group-related activities.
14. • Members are encouraged or required to live and/or socialize only with other group members.” These 14 tell-tale markers of cults are taken from the online article Characteristics of Cults,” by Janna Lalich and Michael Pantone.
Excerpts in this post are from the book, Take Back Your Life: Recovering From Cults and Abusive Relationships by Janja Lalich and Madeline Tobias at Bay Tree Publishing.
Political cult leaders, like those of the Religious Right to my understanding of a political cult, usually have a militant mindset, baiting their conversations to the general public with salted words inciting their cult followers to do illegal, underhanded and/or conniving actions, while stoking violence towards those they wish to suppress.
Suppression is the tool political cult leaders use for organizing people into certain groups or sections of cities under their control, such as red-lining districts, rigging the mail system, and suppressing free and fair elections. If political elections were actually held freely and fairly they could possibly lose, so manipulation, coercion, extortion become acceptable tactics to the political cult leaders. Once judges, juries and courts have been bought and compromised, it becomes harder for free and fair elections to take place.
A political cult leader, like every other religious cult leader, beats the drum of fear. The lowest common denominator that motivates followers of any kind is anger. Fear is the only fuel that stokes the constant rage; fear of losing power, fear of losing wealth, fear of the fake kingdom they have carved out for themselves at the extreme expense of the duped followers who chant his praises and pour their hard-earned money into the political cult leader’s pockets.
Turning a blind eye to Truth because of underlying religious and political undertones masking and giving permission to violent behaviors as justification for religious beliefs, wreak havoc on a civil society seeking the betterment of humanity, on one hand, while simultaneously causing the chaos they blame on others, on the other hand. Here is another example of doublethink of George Orwell’s 1984, holding two opposite ideas in your mind and believing both. We see this playing out on the world’s stage today.
The Religious Right does the same thing, saying they are Pro-Life, while simultaneously voting for the likes of people who have no problem ripping nursing babies away from their mothers who are fleeing situations of rape, murder, and drug cartel futures for themselves and their children, and putting them in cages. Conspiracy theories, which are nothing more than creative lies, spread like wildfire, like gossip does. These are the marks of the fallen angels and the Nephilim.
Does the Religious Right remember that Jesus was an immigrant, fleeing from murderous Herod seeking to kill him because he was afraid that people would follow the newborn baby King of the world, instead of himself?
Jesus and his family were well taken care of in the foreign land of Egypt. Jesus and his family were refugees.
Wouldn’t you want to know everything that Jesus taught, not only the sanitized version of any religion?
Think very carefully about this next question, who or what is it exactly who would not want you to know this important information?
When Jesus would not be quiet about his mission here on earth, they crucified him, as if THAT would silence him.
What was Jesus teaching about?
The teachings of Jesus can be found in The Nag Hammadi Scriptures, where he also refers to what was written in The Books of Enoch, including book of The Angels, The Watchers and The Nephilim. There are three versions of The Book of Enoch. The first book is known as The Ethiopic Book of Enoch, the second is The Slavonic Secrets of Enoch, and the third is The Hebrew Book of Enoch.
The version of The Books of Enoch compiled by Dr. Joseh B. Lumpkin, copyrighted in 2011, also includes The Book of Fallen Angels, The Watchers, and the Origins of Evil: with expanded commentary on Enoch, Angels, Prophecies snd Calendars in the Sacred Texts.
Have you read any of these amazing books?
Unless you continue to learn about ALL of the life of Jesus the Christ, first teacher of the Limitless Living Light which is WITHIN you as he taught in Luke 17:20-21, you are only an infant Christian regardless of which denomination tickles your curiosity.
Jesus never once advocated for war, in all its supposed glory and conquests, and certainly not for greed, that avarice that consumes the minds of men, women, children, and every gender created via our own generation of human life.
If you are following anyone in religious, political, or social circles who is advocating to hurt humanity in anyway, they are NOT following Jesus nor what Jesus taught, therefore, THEY ARE NOT CHRISTIAN.
Anyone aligning themselves with the “Christian Right,” knows that they have stolen the words that will tickle your fancy, BUT THESE ONES ARE NOT CHRISTIAN. These are a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
If you have been astounded by the miracles of Jesus and those 15 famous years taught in all modern bibles, you will be further astonished to learn ALL of the life of Jesus Christ.
There is much more for Christians and humanity as a whole to know, regardless of your previous indoctrinations. We only know what we “know” when we know it. There is so much more.
Keep learning.
The Limitless Living Loving Light WITHIN Jesus is also the same Limitless Living Loving Light WITHIN you animating your Spirit/Soul. All Is One.
Fearless King Lion Portrait Painting by Elena Francis
” … and to reassess their motives to be better role models for themselves, the youth, and humanity worldwide. Courage does not mean having no fear. Rather, courage is feeling fear, but peacefully doing the right thing, the moral thing, with integrity, despite the presence of fear. Cults use fear as their fuel, keeping their flocks in submission. It is important to stand up for yourself. In political, social, and religious fear’s face, take on the courage of a fearless lion.
“Technically, fear is not a “thing.” Fear is what resides in the void, in the lack, in the worry, the ignorant forecast of gloom and doom, considering only the worst that can happen. No wonder there is fear taking up space where the presence of courage and knowledge ought to be in just about every religious belief system in the world. Even people without any belief system choose to fill themselves with fear, not realizing that having courage in such moments is the way to move forward.
“Fear is also being stoked within the political scene these days, as in the cult mentality fueling racism, xenophobia, prejudice, ultra-nationalism, and violence to be used as methods of intimidation as communication tools. Manipulation by money buys the conscience of lobbyists and politicians as if money and fear of the lack of it is the bottom line. Money and fear are not the bottom line. Ignorance of truth is the fodder of human sheep following greedy leaders who say and do anything to remain in power, fame, and fortune.
“One of the most recent fear-based political power-plays born out obstruction and greed, is demonstrated and written about in the 2012 book, Do Not Ask What Good They Do by Robert Draper,[1] outlining a plan to not work together politically for the common good of Americans, thereby marrying the power-hungry Tea Party and the Republican Party agendas.
“This spawned the current mission of those claiming to be the political party of law and order, while paradoxically and simultaneously giving voice to the Ku Klux Klan, Neo-Nazi, white nationalists, racist skinheads, Neo-Confederate, Black separatists, general hate groups,[2] and Christian identity, who are usually prejudiced against various God-given genders and who only see Pro-Life as anti-abortion while voting for candidates who seek to take away food, and financial assistance programs for the homeless, as well as for veterans. The Southern Poverty Law Center Intelligence Project keeps track of these groups attempting to hijack the Republican Party, currently a political cult to my understanding of a cult.”
Public schools are meant to teach our children academics with technological and scientific advancements, not any one brand of religion. Presently it is the radical Christian Right-Wing fanatics who wish to indoctrinate all children, their families, and society through the public school system in the USA.
Manipulation, fear, obligation and guilt (F.O.G.) are the tools they use to sway the minds of those who listen and buy into their unscrupulous peer pressure. Notice the forked tongue of these adults who tell their children not to cave to peer pressure while they simultaneously cave to peer pressure themselves.
Religious groups are not much different from corporations erroneously thinking that money is the bottom line. The radical Religious Right-Wing fanatics are often backed by big money interests, such as the gun lobby and outside influences of other countries hoping to influence the outcomes.
How would the USA wish to be indoctrinated into Sharia Law if the radical Muslim faith was voted in America? Just like Christianity, the Muslim faith is a peaceful and loving faith, but the radical extremists in both religions are dangerous.
Indoctrination is a cult mentality, not an educational tool. Those who wish to promote a particular brand of theology have this option in the parochial school setting, not public-school systems.
People have free will to go to any church of their choice and teach their own children at home.
Freedom is not oppression.
Tax paying citizens of all belief systems are not to use local, state, and federal tax dollars to promote any one religion, including the Christian Right-Wing Fundamentalism.
In the year 567 A.D., the Council of Tours proclaimed the 12 Days of Christmas, lasting from Christmas until Epiphany, as a sacred and festive season. The song, The Twelve Days of Christmas, was published in England in 1780 without music, as a chant, or rhyme. It is thought to be of French origin. Though the melodies have changed over the years, the standard tune now comes from a 1909 arrangement of a traditional folk melody by English composer, Frederic Austin, who introduced the prolonged “five gold rings.”
How many of us are familiar with the Christian meanings behind the song, The 12 Days of Christmas? When do the 12 days of Christmas start and when end within the Christmas Season of celebrations?
The 12 Days of Christmas begins with the Christmas Feast Day, which the Church put on December 25, and concludes 13 days later, when the Church celebrates the Feast of Epiphany.
Why was the Christian song written in such veiled language?
Christians within the first centuries were often persecuted, even to death, which is why The 12 Days of Christmas was written with ordinary things masking extra-ordinary meanings. Let’s take a closer look at the song, The 12 Days of Christmas, and meditate on the deeper reflections behind each one:
1) The Partridge in a pear tree: represents Jesus, Son of the Father in heaven, whose birthday we celebrate on the first day of Christmas. Jesus Christ is symbolically present as a mother partridge, the only bird that will die to protect her young.
2) Two Turtle Doves: represents the Old Testament and the New Testament, so the gift of the singer finds the complete story of the Judeo-Christian faith and God’s plan for the world.
3) Three French Hens: represents faith, hope and love.
4) Four Calling Birds: represents the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
5) Five Gold Rings: represents the first five books of the Old Testament, also known as the Torah, or the Pentateuch.
6) Six Geese a Laying: represents each “egg” as a new day in creation, a time when the world was “hatched,” as in formed by God.
7) Seven Swans a Swimming: represents the seven signs of the Holy Spirit:
As swans are one of the most beautiful and graceful creatures on earth, they seemed to be the perfect symbol of the spiritual gifts.
8) Eight Maids a Milking: As Christ came to save even the lowest of the low, this gift represents the ones who would receive His word and accept His grace. Being a milkmaid was about the worst job one could have in England during this time. This showed Jesus cared as much about servants as He did those of royal blood. The eight who were blessed were: 1. poor in spirit 2. those who mourn 3. the meek 4. those who hunger and thirst for righteousness 5. the merciful 6. the pure in heart 7. the peacemakers 8. those who are persecuted for righteousness sake
9) Nine Ladies Dancing: represents gifts of the Holy Spirit: 1. love 2. joy 3. peace 4. patience 5. kindness 6. generosity 7. faithfulness 8. gentleness 9. self-control
10) Ten Lords a Leaping: represents the judges as lords following the law, the Ten Commandments
11) Eleven Pipers Piping: represents the disciples minus Judas, since there were 11 men who carried out the gospel message
12) Twelve Drummers Drumming: represents the 12 points of doctrine in the Apostles Creed: 1. I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth 2. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord 3. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and was 4. Born of the Virgin Mary 5. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried 6. He descended into hell 7. On the third day He rose again 8. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father 9. He will come again to judge the living and the dead 10. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic (universal) Church, the communion of saints 11. The forgiveness of sins 12. The resurrection of the body and life everlasting.
My Christmas wish for you is that your heart is filled with as much faith, hope and love that it can possibly hold; and that you be a beacon of this good cheer so that it overflowers your heart, into your families, neighborhoods, countries and the world.
Above are the remnants of the Church at Laodicea where the Council of Laodicea was held with only 300 out of 1,000 like-minded Catholic bishops.
It is said that, before a pivotal battle, Emperor Constantine saw a cross in the sky and took it to mean if he converted to Christianity, he would win the battle. So he did. (Such a wonderful reason for turning to the peaceful teachings of Christ). In 324, he named the Christian religion, which had up until then, to one degree or another, been a reason for persecution by the government, to be the official religion of Rome.
His successor, Julian, didn’t feel the same way. He wanted to return to the old order of pagan gods and Christian persecution. At the Council of Laodicea, Julian and the bishops who were invited (300 out of a thousand) decided that, among other things, any stories of women being of prominence in the religion would be squashed, as would stories of fallen angels taking on human qualities and walking the earth. Other things discarded were the stories of the multiple “gods” who ruled the earth in early times, or their several re-incarnations. Most of what was found in Nag Hamadi and some of what was found in the Dead Sea Scrolls was left out.
What was going on in the Christian religion at the time?
Let’s see, there was Pope Liberius who was exiled by the emperor who then installed Felix II in 355 AD. Felix II was one of the anti-popes. The Council of Laodicea was held in 363 AD and 364 AD to establish what stories would be told in the Christian religion. The emperor Julian died in 363 AD. Then the leadership of the Roman Empire suffered some very quick successions, and between 363 and 366 there were four different Roman emperors, some ruling simultaneously. When Felix II died in 366, the Christian people elected Usinius to be pope.
Felix II
At the time, however, the people’s choice also had to be run by the emperor for his ratification, and Damasus, who also wanted to be pope, and who had supported the high-born followers of Felix II the anti-pope, hired a bunch of thugs to masacre the followers of Usinius. Usinius was exiled and Damasus became pope.
Strangely, Usinius (the people’s choice) was called the anti-pope. Damasus, (obviously the emperor’s choice,) was now the pope. He decided to solidify the findings of the Council of Laodicea that had been held during the Papacy of Felix II the anti-pope while Liberious (the real pope) was in exile. Those findings decided which books would be entered as the official bible of the Christian religion. The word of God?
Suffice it to say that at this time the scriptures were massaged to closely mirror the patriarchal society of Rome more than the more gender equal structure of the Christian religion.
What if The First Book of Adam and Eve, The Second Book of Adam and Eve, The Second Book of Enoch, The Origin of the World, and The Revelation of Adam and others were all dropped from the scriptures in attempts to make the Christian religion more palatable to Roman society?
These things did happen 364 years after the death of Jesus. If these scriptures weren’t dropped from the canon of the Christian church, we might still believe that Original Sin wasn’t Eve’s fault, or the fault of humans at all?
But back to the story of the offspring of Adam and Eve. We know the name of Seth, but nowhere in the Bible do we see the name of Eve’s third daughter. The name Norea or its variations, Oriea or Horiea, have been said in one early scripture or another to have been either the re-embodiment of Sophia, or the wife of Noah, or the feminine form of Adam, but in The Reality of the Rulers (a scripture that was left out of the modern-day bible) Norea is said to have been the younger sister of Seth. It says that since they are both in the line of the pure race, born of both Adam and Eve, they married and began the propagation of the pure race of humanity.
But to many of the early Christians, the story of Cain and Able was different from the one we have heard, and Seth and Norea were real. And Norea was not subservient, not to anyone, not even the blood-thirsty god of the Old Testament.
The stories left out of our bible explained what was meant when Valentinus and Jesus both said there are three kinds of humans:
the kind who know from birth what it is to be a good human being, (the pure)
the kind who can be taught, or at least their children can be taught the truth, (the somewhat pure)
the kind who will never know. By the way, this purity had nothing to do with the color of one’s skin. It had to do with empathy. It had to do with having a pure soul. The stories also painted a different picture of the story of the flood.
Remember what I told you. Do not follow anyone else but me. Do not substitute me for earthly rulers.
Remember when I told you to follow earthly men who tell you things different from what I told you?
Remember when I told Peter to pick up that sword and defend me in the Garden at Gethsemane?
Remember when I told you to storm the court at my trial?
Why don’t you remember that?
I never told you to justify actions other than what I told you to do. Let me remind you of the important things I want you to follow.
“Anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:19-20New International Version (NIV)
“You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment.” Matthew 5:21-22 NIV
Who could be influencing you to do things against your neighbor?
Remember who was trying to influence me after I was baptized in the Jordan River by John the Baptist. I was led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness where I was tempted by Satan. His evil spirit was cast out of heaven during the war in heaven where he can never return. He is still here, tempting you to do things I never told you to do.
As soon as Satan left Jesus after his temptations, angels came to minister to him.
If you get confused about what is the truth, who you ought to be listening to, or who you should follow, remember everything I told you.
“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.” John 10:11-18 NIV
Now don’t get carried away. I am the Good Shepherd, not you. You are not being called to die for others. You are not being called to fight. You are not being called to storm any building. You are not being called by me to any earthly cause. If you feel you are being called on for any earthly cause, remember who tempted me to do outrageous things for earthly causes in my time. His tricks do not change.
Try again to follow what I told you to do, if you want to follow in my footsteps. You call it The Golden Rule, remember?
“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 7:12 NIV
Do you see the difference between what I taught you to do and what you are choosing to do now? These days are not that different from the days I walked among you.
If you are a true Christian, born-again, fundamental, liberal or otherwise, and are worth your salt in an honest effort to practice what I preached, then now is the time to follow my words, not the words of any other preacher or any kind of world leader who is inciting you to do the opposite of what I have taught you.
Be honest. I never incited you to riot. Stop following the wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Do not forget the second part of my instructions, which is forgiveness. If you have followed the misguided sheep right off the cliff of ego, greed, and vain glory, you must first forgive yourselves for trading me for an unrighteous leader.
Come back to the flock of love and forgiveness for yourself and your neighbor, who I told you to love as yourself. I am starting your healing with yourself, because it is no wonder that you cannot love your neighbor if you do not love yourself.
Peace, kindness, love and joy are tell-tale signs that you are on the right track. It may be so long ago that you loved your neighbor as yourself. Do not forget that I have been watching you. Not one thing you do is hidden. So begin by forgiving yourself, then the rest will fall into line.
The Spirit of God dwells WITHIN you. You are God’s Temple.
“Do you not know you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” 1 Corinthians 3:16
How many of us really understand what Paul is writing here in his first letter to the Corinthians? Paul begins the third chapter by talking to his fledgling Christian followers as if they were babies in the Christian life, because that is where they spiritually were, controlled by their own desires, not God’s. They were unaware that the Spirit of God dwelt inside of them, as it does in each one of us.
Within the faithful followers, they were getting confused whether to follow the teachings of Apollos or Paul or Peter, complete with envy, jealousy, and rivalry among the believers, the same as we do today with myriad religions with separate beliefs, yet all teaching about the One God of all.
They wanted to get it right. In the process, they got it wrong. This is not a team sport. Paul was showing them that the firm foundation is based on the fact that the Spirit of God, the individual “I AM Presence” is within every human being.
Paul is speaking to all of us, adding, “Apollos and I work together for God, and you are God’s garden and God’s building.” 1 Corinthians 3:9 Contemporary English Version (CEV)
Have you ever thought of yourself as Gods’ garden, something that is within you as opposed to something that is outside of you?
You’ve heard the parable of the good seed and the bad. That is not an example of what to choose outside of you. Rather, the good and bad seed parable is a demonstration of the light and the dark within the DNA of all human beings. Choose the light. Be the light. It is inside of you. That is what is meant by letting your conscience be your guide.
Even Jesus told us this in Luke 17:21, “Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” King James Version
This original verse was maligned to say “among” you. Modern day scholars, after researching ancient writings of Sanskrit, Hebrew, and Greek are returning this verse to its original meaning, that the kingdom of God, also known as God’s Spirit, and the I AM Presence, resides WITHIN you.
1 Corinthians 3:10-11, “God was kind and let me become an expert builder. I laid a foundation on which others have built. But we must each be careful how we build because Christ is the only foundation.”
This “Christ” is what Jesus came to teach us, that we are Christ beings. It is by recognizing that we all have the Silver Cord of Ecclesiastes 12:6-7, the animating Divine Spark of each Soul, our own I AM Presence within us, that we put on the Mind of Christ. It is there whether we realize it or not, otherwise, we would be dead. The animating life-force active within each person is our God-given Christ Soul. We will keep reincarnating until we become consciously aware of this to the core of our being. It is an acknowledgement of each Self. There is no rush. We are part of eternity, which has no beginning, nor ending.
Paul says to all humankind, “Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? And whoever defiles the temple of God, God will destroy; for the temple of God is holy, and that temple is you.” ~ 1 Corinthians 3:16,17
Note that it is by fire that ignorance is transmuted into knowledge, no matter how many lifetimes it takes for that to occur. Also notice that the more expansive comprehension of energy (God – Source – Author of all energy), follows what humanity has come to discover in the First Law of Thermodynamics; that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only changed.
Transmutation by fire is what the Purple Flame of Transmutation is all about, using the words of today’s energy workers as the forge. Sending all those lower energies, self-sabotage, lack of self-esteem, and all dysfunctional energies, to the Violet-Purple Flame as taught by Germain, and lifting human consciousness, enlightening hearts, minds, and voices in the building up rather than tearing down, is the correct interpretation for the “fire” that will consume all.
Love is also compared to fire that consumes the hearts, minds, and actions of individuals. Being in Love transports lovers to heights as if they were floating on clouds. This fire of Divine Love, is another way of expressing the Violet Flame of Transmutation through the Law of Forgiveness, Empathy, Compassion.
You and I are made of the Christ Energy animating our Souls which are eternal, just as God is eternal. It is only by God’s Creative Spirit that you are alive, and have always been in the mind, heart, and action WITHIN God, who always was and always will be.
It was popular in the 1960s-70s to think of ourselves as temples of God, and today with the resurgence of good eating habits to think of our bodies as temples of God. Sometimes this thinking has more to do with us than it has to do with God.
Notice in 1 Corinthians 3:22, 23 where it says, “Whether Paul or Apollo or Peter or the world or life or death or all things present or things to come; all things are yours; and you are Christ’s and Christ is God’s.”

1 Corinthians 3:1-23:
“My friends, you are acting like the people of this world. That’s why I could not speak to you as spiritual people. You are like babies as far as your faith in Christ is concerned. 2 So I had to treat you like babies and feed you milk. You could not take solid food, and you still cannot, 3 because you are not yet spiritual. You are jealous and argue with each other. This proves that you are not spiritual and that you are acting like the people of this world.
4 Some of you say that you follow me, and others claim to follow Apollos. Isn’t that how ordinary people behave? 5 Apollos and I are merely servants who helped you to have faith. It was the Lord who made it all happen. 6 I planted the seeds, Apollos watered them, but God made them sprout and grow. 7 What matters isn’t those who planted or watered, but God who made the plants grow. 8 The one who plants is just as important as the one who waters. And each one will be paid for what they do. 9 Apollos and I work together for God, and you are God’s garden and God’s building.
Only One Foundation
10 God was kind and let me become an expert builder. I laid a foundation on which others have built. But we must each be careful how we build, 11 because Christ is the only foundation. 12-13 Whatever we build on that foundation will be tested by fire on the day of judgment. Then everyone will find out if we have used gold, silver, and precious stones, or wood, hay, and straw. 14 We will be rewarded if our building is left standing. 15 But if it is destroyed by the fire, we will lose everything. Yet we ourselves will be saved, like someone escaping from flames.
16 All of you surely know that you are God’s temple and that his Spirit lives in you. 17 Together you are God’s holy temple, and God will destroy anyone who destroys his temple.
18 Don’t fool yourselves! If any of you think you are wise in the things of this world, you will have to become foolish before you can be truly wise. 19 This is because God considers the wisdom of this world to be foolish. It is just as the Scriptures say, “God catches the wise when they try to outsmart him.” 20 The Scriptures also say, “The Lord knows that the plans made by wise people are useless.” 21-22 So stop bragging about what anyone has done. Paul and Apollos and Peter all belong to you. In fact, everything is yours, including the world, life, death, the present, and the future. Everything belongs to you, 23 and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.” ~ Contemporary English Version
The God/Christ in me acknowledged the God/Christ in you, which is what the word, Namaste means.
This meme needs to say FORMER President of the United States. The coup of January 6 to overthrow Democracy are not heroes of Democracy. Murdering people, assault and battery are not part of peaceful protest, for which Democracy stands. The actions of January 6, 2021 are the works of other sinister forces influencing humankind to this very day.
Do Christians believe what they say they believe? Do Christians actually believe what the Bible says? The fallen angels still hold influence over the minds of many human beings, duping them into doing their works of dark energies, sinister agendas which tickle the fancy of those who claim to be Christian.
However, these dark energies are very much alive, blinding otherwise good people into repulsive actions aimed at destroying the very thing they mistakenly think they are saving, DEMOCRACY, on September 18, 2021, the day chosen to praise their criminal followers with parades and fanfare.
Do not be influenced by anyone whose motive is not Love Without Conditions, and Non-judgment. While ramifications of the fallen angels abound, there is a Power, Wisdom, and Love that knows no bounds which is more powerful.
Remember, the Dragon, that devil called Satan, has already been defeated and cast down to Earth, never to be allowed to return to the refreshment of Living, Loving, Light, also known as God, or Universal Eternal Energy. Have you ever wondered why evil and dark energy exists all over the world? No human being is ever without temptations to think, say, and do unconscionable things for a seemingly greater good, which actually results in greater harm. This dark manipulating energy is the master at deception.
Since deception worked during the last election, duping millions of voters into excusing making fun of disabled people, tearing nursing babies from their mother’s arms, taking children of all ages away from their mothers and fathers, separating wives from their husbands, and separating men from women, putting them all in metal cages, selling off some babies through the adoption agencies since there was money to be made; these ones saw that deception and lies worked to confuse their blind followers into believing they were on the side of good. Actually, fear and fear-based thinking was the foundation of all the lies and deception. No, the Latino population is not going to take over the United States of America, nor is the non-white population, nor the Muslim population from Afghanistan these days. The USA is the melting pot of the world, or have some forgotten their extended family roots?
I thank the good God of all that intelligence, empathy and compassion for refugees has risen above ignorant arrogance, political hijacking, and blatant racism. Standing on the eggshell foundation of, “That’s just my opinion,” and “I have a right to my opinion,” will not stand against the tide of popular opinion of the Democratic United States of America.
I encourage all energy workers to send positive, loving, healing energy to every area capturing your attention in these coming days. Whatever we focus on grows. Let us spend more time focusing on what builds us up as a nation, so we can truly be that beacon of light on the hill, for which the Statue of Liberty stands.
“Then there was a war in heaven; Michael and the other angels under his command fought the Dragon and his hosts of fallen angels. And the Dragon lost the battle and was forced from heaven. This great Dragon – the ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world – was thrown down onto the earth with all his army.” Revelation 12:7-9
Let us pay closer attention to what is going on by not praising criminal behavior as if it is the same thing as good behavior. Some misguided and misinformed people are following the Dragon right into his lair of racism, white supremacy and those who prize money and power over people.
Choose faith, hope, and love over fear, hate, and jealousy.
Virtues are the guideposts that show the path to follow when life’s trials and tribulations obscure the way forward, clouding opinion and reason. Our thoughts get hijacked by the loudest voice in the room. Our words are out of our mouths short circuiting our usual thoughtful brains. Our actions storm out of us as if someone or something else is controlling them.
How could we have gone so far off-track?
Of our own volition we all have it with ourselves to make good and/or bad decisions. The problem is when we talk ourselves into believing good is bad and bad is good. It is not the other guy, or the other group that needs review. It is within ourselves to choose good over evil, or evil over good. We are all accountable for ourselves. Rather than point fingers at other people, which also points the other four fingers back at us, let us take a closer look at ourselves, and our influences.
Reclaiming our sensibilities requires finding the calm in the middle of the storm, that quiet spot where we can still our minds. Step off the merry-go-round of chaos. We need to take stock of how far we have come from our normal sense of self, and our own moral code.
What pushes our buttons, driving us forward into places we do not want to be?
Practicing the virtues are sure signposts to keep in view, in order that we do not get swept away in the dream, life and cause of someone else. Let’s keep our own dreams and our own goals. Sometimes another person, or group, seems to have the same ideals we have. Yet, if we watch them, they go to extremes we would never go to on our own. On one hand, they seem mostly fine. On the other hand, we would never make the decisions we do without their bad influence.
How do we handle this?
Remember the theological virtues: faith, hope and love.
“Three things will last forever – faith, hope, and love – and the greatest of these is love.”1 Corinthians 13:13*
* “Paul, who wrote both First and Second Corinthians, wrote that love endures forever. In morally corrupt Corinth, love had become a mixed-up term with little meaning. Today, people are still confused about love. Love is the greatest of all human qualities and is the very essence of God himself (1 John 4:8). Love involves unselfish service to others. Faith is the foundation and content of God’s message; hope is the attitude and focus; love is the action. When faith and hope are in line, we are free to love completely because we understand how God loves. Does your faith fully express itself in loving others?” footnote on 1 Corinthians 13:13 from the Life Application Bible, New Living Translation, Tyndale House Publishers
Remember the cardinal virtues: prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance.
Prudence can be found in Psalm 22:3-6, “The rich and poor both have this in common: The Lord made them both. A prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. True humility and fear of the Lord lead to riches, honor, and long life. Corrupt people walk a thorny, treacherous road; whoever values life will avoid it. Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.”
Justice can be found in Romans 1:18, “But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness.” (Romans 1:25**)
**“Why is God angry at sinful people? Because starting with Adam and Eve, God gave all people a choice to follow him or to go their own way. But they have arrogantly substituted the truth about him with a lie.** (Romans 1:25**) People have stifled the truth God naturally reveals to everyone in order to support their own self-centered way of thinking. This is sin, and God cannot tolerate sin because of his holy, perfect nature. He has designed the best way for people to live in harmony with him and with each other. He cannot ignore or condone willful rebellion. God wants to remove sin and restore sinners, which he will do if sinners do not continue to stubbornly distort or reject the truth but instead turn to him for salvation. God’s justified anger turns on those who persist in going their own way. Are you pursuing the lie that sin is not serious, and you don’t need God? Don’t deceive yourself about him merely to protect your current way of life. Devote yourself to searching for the truth, and you will find him.” footnote on Romans 1:18 from the Life Application Bible, New Living Translation, Tyndale House Publishers
Romans 1:25** says, “They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshipped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen.”
“People tend to believe lies that reinforce their own selfish, personal beliefs. Today, more then ever, we need to be careful about the input we allow to form our beliefs. With the internet, music, movies, and shows often glorify sinful lifestyles and unwholesome values, we find ourselves constantly bombarded by attitudes and beliefs that are totally opposed to the Bible. Be careful about what you look at and what influences you allow to form your opinions. God gave us the Bible as the standard of truth. Evaluate all other opinions in light of it.” footnote on Romans 1:25 from the Life Application Bible, New Living Translation, Tyndale House Publishers
Examples of fortitude are shown in John 15:18-19, when Jesus says, “If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first, the world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world.”
It takes fortitude to go against the popular grains of public opinion that seemingly make human sense, given the human spin pride places upon human opinions. Standing up for truth, honor, and integrity with faith, hope and love, in the face of mob mentality takes fortitude.
Temperance is reflected in the fruits of the Holy Spirit when we avoid following our sinful desires, as seen in Galatians 5:22-23***: “But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!”
***“Newly transformed people produce something special with their lives. Paul calls the new work of the Spirit fruit. The Holy Spirit spontaneously and creatively produces this kind of fruit in us. The Spirit generates these character traits in us because we are becoming more like Jesus, who perfectly modeled them. When Christ controls us, they grow and flow from us naturally. We can’t obtain them by trying to get them without his help. If we want the fruit of the Spirit to grow in us, we must live in close union with Jesus (see John 15:4-5). We must submit to him, know him, love him, remember him, and imitate him. As a result, we will fulfill the intended purpose of the law – to love God and our neighbors. Which of these qualities do you most want the Spirit to produce in you?” footnote on Galatians 5:22-23 from the Life Application Bible, New Living Translation, Tyndale House Publishers
In John 15:4-5,**** Jesus says, “Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me. Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.”
****“Remaining in Christ requires us to be fully connected to Jesus moment by moment. It means (1) believing that he is God’s Son (1 John 4:15), (2) following him as Savior and Lord (John 1:12), (3) doing what God says (1 John 3:24), (4) continuing the believe the Good News (1 John 2:24), and (5) relating in love to the community of believers, Christ’s body (John 5:12).
Remember, there are other influences at work, not all of which are human. We need to listen to the better angels among us.
I do not see any white supremacy, racism, lies, conspiracy theories, hate and fear mongering, poll tampering, crime on the U.S. Capitol. Nope, I don’t see a thing. If I stay silent, I can get your vote, right?
You cannot claim to be Christian and spread lies. That would be against the Ten Commandments which Christians believe in.
You cannot claim to be a sane person and believe in lies and conspiracies as if they are real. That would just be mentally unbalanced.
You cannot believe that lasers shot from outer space by Jewish bankers are what started wildfires in California and expect to be taken seriously. That would be such a prejudiced diversionary tactic.
You cannot believe that people are killing and eating babies. If so, you need to be committed into an insane asylum. No really, this is crazy.
If you sell your soul to the devil for money, votes and political fleeting fame, the weed seeds you plant will grow to take over your once noble goals. Anyone with common sense knows this.
Silence is agreement. Silence is acceptance. Doing nothing when obvious and outrageous crime flagrantly takes place on your watch, means you agree and accept the beliefs and behaviors of your base. If this is the case, you are as guilty as they are.
And no, you cannot believe that the Democrats are deep-state lizard people. People are laughing at you.
The fat man on the bed playing alien, deep-state video games has infiltrated government. What are you going to do about it?
You either believe in democracy or you don’t. In Russia, people are fighting tyranny for democracy. In the United States, people are fighting democracy for tyranny.
When Jesus taught us to pray, he taught us to pray for God’s kingdom, not a physical, man-made kingdom on earth. The kingdom of God we are to pray for is not brought on by ego, pride, guns, nor strife. Those are the dark tools of sinister forces whose insatiable appetites for power, money, and domination blind the brains of would-be good people, even Christians, who through misguided allegiance to God find themselves obeying man.
We are not to mix the kingdom of man with the kingdom of God. That is not how this works. We already had the battle of Jericho. Calls sent out today to reenact the battle of Jericho at the United States Capital, as well as all other state Capitol buildings is pure evil, not the will of God.
STAND DOWN.
Do you feel called to act in good faith? Then pray. Pray for the Holy Spirit to enter your heart. Jesus told us all how to think, speak and act. You will find none of his words incite any of us to violence.
If, when you pray, you feel intense anger, frustration, and hatred, then you are listening to and following the wrong god.
This is the time for repentance, humility, and trust of God, not the arrogant boast and folly of humans. This is a time of introspection, considering the roles we are living in our lives, based on the choices we make. Are we living in the love, hope, peace, and truth that the kingdom of God promises? If not, you are promoting the illusion that lies, conspiracies, evil, death and destruction are good.
Jesus said, “Because of the increasing lawlessness, the love of the greater number will grow cold.”
That is what we are seeing today in the belligerent manipulation of man usurping the will of God in place of his own.
The kingdom of God is coming, in fact is already here. The profound peace and love of the kingdom of God is already within us, as Jesus told us in Luke 17:21.
How do you know if the kingdom of God is within you?
The fruits of God and the presence of the Holy Spirit will be abundant in your life. If these fruits are missing from your life, you will know you have chosen the wrong road to follow.
If gentleness, faithfulness, self-control, meekness, peace, joy, love, kindness, patience, goodness, temperance, and faith are missing in your life, stop whatever you are doing and pray. Pray for the love of God, Father of Jesus Christ, to enter your heart.
It seems the Republican political party in the USA has been hijacked by so many hate groups that they fear standing up for the right thing for losing their voters. But now, more than ever before, all citizens of the United States of America need to stand up for facts, not fiction; truth, not conspiracy; and honor and integrity over selling out the country. Truth matters.
There are so many other gods out there today, masking as the One, True God. You will know which god (God) you are following by the fruits of your labor.
It seems like it’s feast or famine. We say we want freedom of speech, until someone
I’m telling you we still have freedom of speech in this country, even if we do not like what is being said. Truth has no opinion.
speaks. We say we want tolerance, until we have to stand up. We say we can’t legislate morality, until someone does or says something that offends us.
Oh, the outrage.
Isn’t it odd, in this day and age, in the United States of America, that the public outcry on any given opinion columnist who dares to speak out the opinion for which he or she was hired, has to defend himself or herself, because of the most vocal opinionated voice of the public.
The public voice is often outrageously irresponsible, narcissistic and weighed down by vested interests.
One tactic narcissists use is to bend their voice from moment to moment, regardless of the truth in the matter, to their personal benefit. Pretend truth and made up truth is not truth. It is a lie. Truth matters.
Fantasy truth does not help a family, state nor any country. Narcissists forget that in these days of social media and public and recorded television and news stories, complete with sound, video and pictures, the public can see and repeatedly see the truth of what was said at the moment in time in which any statement was made. History reveals who knew what, when. Honesty matters.
We seem to want freedom only when it is convenient, or popular, or when we get to wave our outrage flag. It would almost be comical if it did not destroy the livelihood of opinion columnists, opinion talk show hosts, and government officials who speak the unpopular truth in the face of opposition based on lies. Two wrongs do not make a right.
Freedom of speech is not meant to be only the current, popular group think tank consensus, spoken by popular personalities.
Freedom of speech is not meant for only particular religious groups, lobbyists, banks, millionaires, CEOs of companies, presidents of anything, or heavy-hitting advertisers who use their dollars to buy the opinions they believe in and wish to promote at any and all costs.
Money is not the bottom line. People are. Speech and policies that promote or tolerate human death as an acceptable means of getting what they want is unconscionable. People are resilient. We can bounce back, but not if we are dead. Money matters, but not if we are dead. Then it is just a pile of money. What we say has consequences. What we say matters.
Freedom of speech is freedom of speech. We all need to use our voice to state our opinion, or voice our stand on a political issue that matters to us. Here in America, others have a United States constitutional right to say any and all opinions they may have. We also have freedom of speech, and are able to voice our opinion on any and all subjects.
What neither side of any issue has no right to do, is to attack the person, go after that person’s job, in attack smear campaigns, or break laws. This is childish. In some cases it is slanderous and/or criminal. Name calling and attacks on a person’s character is something parents deal with when their children go off to first grade. And it does nothing to address the subject at hand.
We all must stand up and be socially responsible. Often, rather than stand up for what we feel is right, or use our freedom of speech to make valid and important points vocally, we turn into cowards and verbally attack the person who has the opinion we don’t like. This is a warped and childish sense of power.
Boo hoo.
Someone has hurt my feelings.
When did “someone has hurt my feelings,” turn into, “They have no right to say that” (whatever it is we do not agree with). What are we, children? We are acting like it.
This may not be a popular article.
It is easier to jump on a bandwagon, any bandwagon that has momentum, rather than tackle a sensitive issue ourselves.
What will our friends think?
Will we lose any public standing if we say what we really believe?
Will we lose our jobs?
There is so much penalty to voice an opinion contrary to the popular public opinion. It is so much easier to character assassinate the individual or group stating something we do not agree with.
We need to activate our freedom, our voice and social responsibility actions. We need to grow up. We need to step into our personal power, and stop giving it away in the tornado of destruction caused by our attacks on others, no matter how insane we believe them to be. Not speaking and acting when we need to, these omissions, also matter. Lives are at stake. Words and actions matter.
People’s words and actions give them away. They do not need us to make them look foolish. They do a good enough job of that themselves.
I am using my God-given freedom of speech, acting with social responsibility, to suggest everyone what I see as a solution to a growing problem sweeping this great nation of ours. It is imperative we regain our freedom of speech. We are on the brink of losing it.
I would like to add one last point. It seems to be the far-right American who is currently claiming to be Christian. I say “claiming” to be Christian because to be Christian is to follow Jesus Christ and the words He spoke. The words Jesus spoke said to take care of the poor, the sick, and according to the Ten Commandments right-wingers like to say they stand on, we are to take care of our mothers and fathers, many of whom are in nursing homes these days.
If money is really the bottom line, then we can all do what Scrooge said to do in A Christmas Carol, and let all the poor, sick and the elderly die, including our mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, aunts and uncles, and decrease the surplus population.
Money is not the bottom line. People are. At least let us not lie and say we are Christian, then turn around and acts as though we were not.
1 John 4:1-3 says, “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every (sic.) spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.” Taken from the comprehensive full-color, Holman Study Bible NKJV (New King James Version) Edition.
To answer these questions, we first have to consider who Jesus Christ was. New Age gurus profess that Jesus Christ is none other than a Master, a holy man; and that God is in you and me, and in the frog and the tree. While God does manifest and experience through all of his Creation, Jesus Christ proved himself to be both fully human and fully divine.
Some religions downgrade Jesus to only being the Son of God, not one and the same as God His Father. They try to put human understanding of the words “Father” and “Son” on the divine concept of the Trinity. Therefore, since the human view of “Father” and “Son” involve two different people, humanly speaking, they then wrongly assume that there is no Trinity either.
An article by Stephen J. Wellum included in the Holman Study NKJV highlights the humanity and Deity of Jesus in Scripture as follows:
“The Humanity and Deity of Jesus in Scripture
… Scripture affirms that the man Christ Jesus is also the eternal Son of God and thus God equal with the Father and Spirit. From the opening pages of the NT, Jesus is identified as the Lord: the one who establishes the divine rule and inaugurates the new covenant era in fulfillment of OT expectation – something only God can do (e.g., Is.9:6-7; 11:1-10; Jeri.31:31-34; Ezek. 34). That is why Jesus’ miracles are not merely human acts empowered by the Spirit of God; rather they are demonstrations of His own divine authority over nature (e.g., Matt.8:23-27; 14:22-23 – My notice* here shows that verse 23 does not prove the point, but verse 25 does), Satan and his hosts (Matt. 12:27-28), and all things (Eph. 1:9-10, 19-23). Because He is God the Son, Jesus has the authority to forgive sin (Mark2:3-12), call Himself the fulfillment of Scripture (Matt. 5:17-19; 11:13), view His relationship with the Father as one of equality and reciprocity (Matt. 11:25-27; John 5:16-30; 10:14-30 – My notice* here in verse 30 says, “I and My Father are one.”), and do the very works of God in creation, providence, and redemption (John 1:1-18 – My notice* here in verse 1 says ” … and the Word was God. Some Bible seek to diminish Jesus by adding the article “a” and diminishing “God” to “a god” … The New World Translation of the Holy Bible says ” … “and the Word was a god.”); Phil. 2:6-11 – My notice* here in verse 6 actually begins in verse 5 “Let this mind be in you which was also on Christ Jesus, who, BEING IN THE FORM OF GOD DID NOT CONSIDER IT ROBBERY TO BE EAUAL TO GOD …; Col. 1:15-20 – My notice* in verse 15 says, “He is the image of the invisible God…”; Hebrews 1:1-3 – My notice* in verse 3 says, “… who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person …”).”
Wellum also notes that “the Council of Chalcedon (A.D. 451), affirmed that we cannot do justice to Scripture without confessing that Jesus of Nazareth was fully God and fully man. God the Son, who gave personal identity to the human nature He had assumed and did so without putting aside or compromising His divine nature, must be confessed as one person who now exists in two natures. Additionally, Chalcedon affirmed that we must not think that the incarnation involved a change in the natures of each property so that some kind of blending resulted which was neither divine nor human, as the Eutychians wrongly affirmed. Rather, we must affirm that the properties of each nature (human and divine) were preserved so that Jesus is all that God is in all His perfections and all that we humans are except in terms of sin.”
Can you and I do the miracles that Jesus did, even though we come to realize that the very breath of God lives inside of each one of us? I think not.
Others among us claim there is no God at all. This is understandable since faith is a gift apparently not given to everyone. Free will is involved. If and when any human asks for God to come into his or her life, at that moment, God will begin to be included into that person’s life. A measure of faith, not doubt, is involved. We must move past egoism and ridicule for this to happen. Acting on faith in God is the beginning, or a recommitment to walking through life with God as a loving, guiding partner. The thing is, we ought to try it before we make fun of it, or deny it.
Now another point to consider about who Jesus is comes from two different scriptures in the Book of Revelation. Centuries of debates among numerous religions that have taken a stand on who Jesus is, or was to their way of thinking.
Let us read directly from these two scriptures in Revelation 21:6 and Revelation 22:13.
In Revelation 21:6 God is called the “Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end . . . I shall be His God and He shall be My Son.” But Jesus is called the “Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end” in Revelation 22:13. How can Jesus and God the Father of Jesus both be the “Alpha and the Omega?”
We need to ask ourselves if this means that God had a “beginning,” because arche is used to describe Him. Here arche means “the source of all being.” Jesus is the source of the creation of God because he is the creator of all things. John 1:1-3 says Jesus (the Word) created “all things . . . and without Him was made nothing that was made.”
Going by the words of Revelation, we can clearly see that Jesus is of God. Pray on this for deeper understanding and for deeper faith. We have faith in so many things these days. We act in faith with our family and fiends, our employers and with inanimate things such as our vehicles and technology. We can also act in faith to grow or deepen our belief system.
But if we come to the point of saying there is no God, or that Jesus Christ is not of God, then this person and/or situation is Antichrist. Antichrist is not one person, place or thing that denies that Jesus Christ is of God. Rather, Antichrist is any and everything that denies that Jesus Christ is of God.

No one knows the real birthday of Jesus. But one thing is for sure. It is not on December 25. Several facts point to the actual birth of Jesus taking place in September or October.
Let us look at the facts. At the time of the birth of Jesus, when that big new star was shining in the night sky, shepherds were out in the fields, watching their flocks by night. Shepherds were able to keep their flocks of sheep out in the fields day and night during the summer and into the early fall months, until the rainy season began. They went by the Jewish months in the Torah. The rainy season was called Heshvan, in what is now fall. When the winter months arrived, it was too cold with frost and snow to keep the sheep out in the fields. Shepherds were not out in the fields during the winter.
Remember that the reason for Mary and Joseph to go to Bethlehem was to register for the census. It was the first registration of people of the earth of its kind. Caesar Augustus sent out a decree for all the inhabited earth to be registered. Even the Syrian Governor Quirinius was interested in the outcome. Everyone belonging to the house of David had to register in Bethlehem. This census would not have taken place in the winter when the roads would have been treacherous with ice and snow.
So why was the celebration of the birth of Jesus moved to December 25?
At the time of the decision to put the birth of Jesus on December 25, (the Iranian god Mithras’s (their sun god) birthday was on December 25, established by none other than Nimrod of Babylonian fame); the Roman Empire was in charge. Nimrod and Ishtar, who self-dubbed herself as “Semiramis, Goddess of the Moon.” They created popular new customs that became instantly popular, like cutting down evergreen trees and decorating them with silver and gold ornaments, putting up wreaths and mistletoe, and Yule logs.
People did not want to give up these popular customs, which also included celebrating the god of sowing and harvest, Saturn, which was celebrated on December 17 (in today’s calendar). Nimrod expanded the celebrating time between December 17-25 as a time of unbridled revelry, anything goes, wild parties, drunken orgies, and decadent food.
The celebration of the birth of Jesus was then put on Mithras’s feast day, December 25, as a way to entice new Christians to switch over to belief in Jesus, instead of celebrating Mithras as the “Sun god.” They thought they could trade the “Sun god,” for the “Son God.” However, all of the customs and traditions that celebrate the false, man-made god Mithras (man-made by Nimrod and Ishtar), remain to this day.
Many Christians today are taking a closer look at Christmas as the “reason” to celebrate the birth of Jesus. If Christians truly believe that Jesus is the “reason for the season,” then we ought to be celebrating the birth of Jesus when he was actually born, in September or October, not on a false, pagan god, complete with all of the false God’s customs and traditions, on December 25.
