Thanks for posting. I wasn't aware of all this. It's clear, though. Once they managed to "secularize" Christmas, they moved on to convincing Christians that they were celebrating a "pagan" holiday and that "real" Christians needed to return to celebrating all the OT festivals instead. They stole the rainbow, we need to reclaim it. And Christmas. Don't let them mutilate and then steal Christmas from us! I was almost convinced by this deception for a couple of years. Inspiring Philosophy did a video on the historical roots of our Christmas traditions and how early Church fathers calculated the date for the holiday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bWSrF7kNpM Not the best vid, but it gets the message across. I also enjoyed Kirk Cameron's video on the meaning behind Christmas traditions. We need to reclaim our culture and our faith!
On the few times I've kept track of his view numbers on new releases, the views will jump 5-10 thousand every time I check. And then suddenly drop to a virtual standstill for several hours. I am sure they are quashing his numbers. Lot of people suspect him of being a plant, simply because he is so popular. Try to find it in his lyrics, though... Worst case scenario I can think of is him leaving us unprepared for the false messiah.
Guess I will have to start from the beginning. May take years to get through it all... I've listened to a good dozen of his presentations so far. I've heard him talk about natural law a lot, but still haven't heard him explain his rationale for putting this as the basis. Not that I disagree. I'd just like to hear his philosophical justification. His explanation of the occult, however, was both fascinating and "enlightening." Mind blown, especially when comparing to dire warnings about the "scary" and Satanic occult from fundy Christian sources.
Those interested can look up Mark Passio's channel on youtube. A former Satanist who now considers himself a "true" Christian and preaches natural law. Can't say I agree with everything he says, but he has some good points, particularly in Fake A$$ Christians and New Age BS, and speaks about the occult from an insider's point of view.
Time for the flat-earthers to come in and say they're all close-ups of sparkly counter-tops. Just imagine! The dome is a big sparkly resin barrier above us! Big-bangers have 1 correct prediction out of 17? The electric universe already has a much better track record. OK, now somebody has to come in and call me a Masonic shill...again. EU and Purple Dawn, baby!
For a short intro to Israel Anderson, watch this one, and see if you care to watch more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-gFK2i1zfs
I recently had an image form in my mind... not a vision or a revelation, just an image. Like we are all surrounded by a thick, nearly impenetrable fog. A fog with bright and shiny crystals, dull and minuscule particles, and everything in between. We all go out and take hold of the ones that grab our attention, and put them safely into lidded jars. Kind of like collecting fireflies. At the end, we each hold up our jars and say, "Look! I've found the truth!" Some end up with a jar of shiny but worthless particles, some with shiny and valuable particles, and some a combination of obscure but telling (or deceiving) particles. But, we all tend to collect ones similar to those we have delighted in in the past, and pretend the others either don't exist or are worthless. We all have just the tiniest fraction of the truth, and are all perfectly, absolutely capable of creating the narrative we wish to create by the particles we choose to collect. Some sit still and watch, and occasionally get just the most fleeting and partial revelation of the truth as the fog briefly parts. And then go back to collecting our favorite particles.
This collection of particles that makes us believe we are "right" applies to the news, science, history, evolution, the Bible, health, or any other aspect of life and knowledge. But we are all busy collecting self-selected particles. Be open. Keep learning. We can get closer to the truth. Wisdom is in the process, and in realizing how little of the truth we actually possess.
Wisdom entails the willingness to change the type of particles we collect based on the fleeting glimpse of reality we have seen through the fog. Actually, to collect as many of them as we can.
Sorry, don't know how to message you. Only able to get so much technologically advanced. :)
I loved Mark's Matrix decode, watched IV and then his shorter one of I-III, and decided to move on to some of his other stuff. The ones I thought were most interesting/illuminating are listed below. Others ones are also interesting, others are boring and repetitive. Since they're all so long, viewers might appreciate an opinion on the most worthy of their time.
Highly unusual perspective. Claims to be a "true" and esoteric Christian, and, as an intellectually curious Christian, I can appreciate much of what he says. He goes extremely hard against any LEOs and military (one of the points I don't agree with), and advocates for pretty much (except for following Natural Law) total anarchy. Although he is insistent about the validity and eternal nature of Natural Law, I still haven't heard him explain, either through other sources or his own logical process, why it is so. Personally, I don't think his total anarchy will work until we're in a perfect world, but he still has a lot of valuable things to say, particularly regarding Christianity and the New Age movement. Worth a listen for the open-minded who don't mind being branded "heretical" or "Gnostic." He brings up a lot of points main-stream Christians should be bringing up themselves, and is hysterically accurate about the New Agers. He also clings to the Occult (light, not dark), where he explains his position sufficiently and satisfactorily, IMO.

Christians who are super open-minded and looking for another interpretation of the Scriptures should check out Israel Anderson. He recommends everyone start with his video "Two Gardens and a Snake" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoEorNACwmA. But I found "Humanity: Evidence of Our Origins": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoEorNACwmA particularly fascinating, and "Yeshua and Pilate" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoEorNACwmA very worthwhile. This guy goes by the Scripture and believes whole-heartedly in Jesus, even while incorporating mythological sources and claiming to be an ex-Christian. Bingeing on him currently. Can't believe how much I have learned, or at least considered, regarding my own faith by listening to these people outside the mainstream.
Can also highly recommend the Good God channel, particularly his Hell and Revelation playlist.
It's been an enlightening few weeks!
There are a lot of things, both large and small, that I disagree with him on. But he has some excellent and valid points you don't hear anywhere else. Actually found him while looking for Matrix IV reviews, and watched several of his looonngg videos, including New Age Bullshxt Revisited and Fake-A$$ Christians I & II, all recommended.
I saw stuff in videos about him working with the FBI and Giuliani in take-down operations, one involving his casino, all the way back when he was still a candidate. One of the reasons I had faith in the Plan. Still waiting for those take-downs, though.
Can you kindly explain the 24-hour day at the South Pole? We might not be able to witness it, but can get a good idea of how the sun progresses over the seasons there by tracking sunrise and sunset at a very southern location, such as southern Argentina.
This is the funniest reaction video of all time IMO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOhsxiXtpn0&t=406s Luk Don't Trip just discovered Tom and Nova and is going full-bore on the reactions. His set-up, sound, etc, aren't the best, but people are watching because he really understands them. Here's my favorite Scars reaction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeh21ywP9oc&t=94s, and Stevie Knight finally had a positive reaction here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoatxfK-Gt0 Edit to correct Stevie's name and add a link to Luk's playlists: https://www.youtube.com/c/LUKDONTTRIP/playlists
I said I would gladly look into it if someone could explain the 24-hour day at the South Pole. No one has done that. The way they explain the sun's movement in the southern summer would give each spot at the SP only a few minutes of daylight each day.
Yes. You should watch the IP video in the link also. It sets the record straight after the onslaught of videos in recent years and twisting of history that has been done to convince us that Christmas is too "pagan" for us to celebrate and that we need to return to Jewish feasts. Between that video and the one you posted, I feel deceived and am angry. Of course, it seems we can never know the truth these days. So we may as well cherish our traditions - even IF they include some pagan traditions from our forefathers - instead of letting them be stolen from us.
