If you're familiar with it, do you think such organizations like the masked cult with subtle magic influences exist, or do you think that the whole system is more informal and decentralized?Lonesome Birdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-14382638390618283802021-08-03T19:40:43.874+01:002021-08-03T19:40:43.874+01:00The world "lack of joy" came to my mind ...The world "lack of joy" came to my mind for some reason.<br />Isn't it interesting how all these changes and movements and social engineering projects remove simple joy from life?<br /><br />the joy of bieng a man or a woman or a child.

Icke is regarded by most people in the UK as a complete nutter (and by the authorities as dangerous - such that he has been 'cancelled' more times in more domains than anyone else - and can only speak in public by private arrangement). But since I began reading him (and watching his videos) five years ago (from the day of the Brexit vote, in fact) https://charltonteaching.blogspot.com/2016/06/the-david-icke-phenomenon-and-brexit.html , I have found *many* valuable insights and a lot of useful information in his work. This despite that Icke is not a Christian anymore, and is indeed hostile to the major denominations. He is, however, honest and brave - and seems to have a warm and loving disposition; and so far that has been enough to keep him well on the right side. Anyway, he has a clear understanding of exactly *where* this stuff (plus the birdemic/ climate change, antiracism etc) is all intended to go.

Amorphous beings engaging in sexual acts that hold no meaning but they are compelled to keep pursuing and acting out. It really is a kind of hell on earth.Adamhttps://pushingrubberdownhill.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-15861778961984383222021-08-03T14:48:59.104+01:002021-08-03T14:48:59.104+01:00@SF "It’s all being done in the name of equal...@SF "It’s all being done in the name of equality isn’t it.? " Well, not really, not All. Equality is just one of several major leftist mantras - social justice is another, there are various 'rights', and diversity-inclusion is another (and D-I usually does against equality).<br /><br />@WW - " when you completely dissolve all the boundaries you are left with nothing and no one" That's it. <br /><br />@BB - Subversive/ destructive individuality is encouraged - such as permanent bodily mutilation or non-procreative and harmful sexualities; but other individualities - such as wearing a Christian symbol of your choice as a pendant or badge - are often administratively or legally-prohibited (e.g. creating a 'hostile work environment').

The impossibility of making everybody equal is overcome by not only denying any differences between them, but also by making it illegal or “discriminatory “ to state that that there are any differences. This regardless of categorization, be it man and woman, black or white. Chinese Japanese or Pekingese.<br />The only way that the equality they seek can be achieved is when everyone has nothing or is nothing. Pol Pots piles of skulls seem to me to be the perfect representation of the striving for equality and the inevitable conclusion of this striving. Endless rows of crania with hardly anything to distinguish between them. All equal now, black and white rich and poor, male and female.Sean Fowlernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-48843170340172949262021-08-03T12:34:42.675+01:002021-08-03T12:34:42.675+01:00I think this is a very important insight. It's...I think this is a very important insight. It's easy to be seduced by the idea of oneness. It seems so logical, so 'spiritual'. It also can seem to be the basis of love. But, of course, the real basis of love is difference. Oneness, lack of difference actually returns us to the blob of nothingness and no-oneness. When you look at life you see that increased differentiation and individuality is what it's all about. This has to be seen within the context of an overall union with God but when you completely dissolve all the boundaries you are left with nothing and no one.William Wildbloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231219533755925897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-2446647065223620042021-08-03T12:07:21.882+01:002021-08-03T12:07:21.882+01:00@Brief - Thanks!@Brief - Thanks!Bruce Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09615189090601688535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-63076124518166383732021-08-03T11:59:00.406+01:002021-08-03T11:59:00.406+01:00Bruce, I think you’re on to something here. I thin...Bruce, I think you’re on to something here. I think the fact that our society is so obsessed with hyperindividuality/expression (tattooing, odd hair colors/styles, which pop-subculture you choose, etc.), disguises the reality that what they’re pushing for is homogeneity/sameness/lack-of-distinctions. I wish I could explain this better.<br /><br />It’s an odd contradiction – that such a hyperindividualist society is destined for erasure of individual distinctions. <br />Bruce B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-26955196534278738452021-08-03T10:29:44.550+01:002021-08-03T10:29:44.550+01:00Brilliant and concise.

I was once in the company of a young women (educated, self employed activist/filmmaker type) when she declared that individuality was invented by capitalism. I was too dumbfounded to muster a response. There really is a difference between passive and active thinking - the latter does not rest with contradictory, self-undermining statements and will chew away at thoughts until they become sense-making. Active thinking also holds no value in identifying with ideas unless they are true. If they are shown to be untrue, the ego doesn't feel any loss, and will laugh at them. Whereas the passive-thinker has invested their entire identity in ideas and fights to defend them at all costs. Brief Outlineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153534581115253885noreply@blogger.com
