By God, I think she's got it! Okay, uh, I really did not want to post another video in relation to religion (and spiritual related things). A little too serious (and deep) for allot of people to begin with, but I guess this is like a complimentary video to the one I discovered in my home feed on YouTube, that I posted to my previous blog post here, which I guess like, kicked off the algorithm for Melissa's channel. (And it is currently the Christmas season and all). With all that being said, yea, this instructional video by Melissa here REALLY hits the mark, even though I may not necessarily agree with EVERYTHING she says in ALL her videos, but this one absolutely confirms what I had mentioned in some of my other posts in relation to these things. She nails it! From what I have seen so far here. (Have not watched it in its entirety yet, at the time I am posting this). Basically and strongly inferring, that despite the many contradictions in the Bible (including the Hebrew Bible-the Christian Old Testament) mostly because it was written by individuals within different schools of thought for instance (primarily 4 different sources and schools of thought from what I understand) with most of the later and more progressive Hebrew prophets condemning some of the brutal teachings and stories within the Torah for instance, to initiate a particular agenda and narrative, and emphasizing what they strongly believed was really at the heart and will of God: Social Justice and compassion. (And what she believes was where Jesus was really at). Many of the bible passages she quotes for example, I was already aware of (and why I said some of the things I had said in previous posts in relation to this subject) because (from what I understand she was at before herself) there was a period when I was much younger where I thought myself had found the meaning to life, when a musician friend had converted to Catholicism and invited me to play with him at a local prayer group within the Catholic Charismatic movement at the time. And being I am like the kind of person who puts everything I am into something (like when I used to practice like 4 hours a day on guitar and all as a kid and wanted learn everything I could about it), it was like the same thing with this stuff at the time. (But being a naturally sincere person to begin with, I also wanted to know the real truth behind anything). But anyway, VERY powerful stuff. (In fact, so powerful, it actually has the potential to change the world, in my strong opinion, and shed allot of light on allot of darkness). But of course, you have to be of that mindset, and many people will (and even deliberately) not get it. But for the few, that may benefit, I took a chance here to make this one public. (As I know there are allot of crazy people out there). But, as I said, I just had to take a chance, and just post this somewhere. "Too deep"...
Awesome, seemingly under-rated holiday music video...
Heard about this story before, but not in such detail as presented here...
Very well done, if nothing else. (But the heckle fish thing has got to go, if you ask me, as it does nothing for the credibility of the videos, in my opinion anyway. Damn). Incredible story though, if true...
VERY interesting video. Yea, from what I understand (and what this woman has mentioned on her channel before) is that animal (and blood) sacrifice (to appease an angry God) is what the really hardcore Satanists (and dark pagan cults) practice to begin with (to maybe gain power, and appease an angry demon?) and that most of the later Hebrew prophets considered it an abomination themselves, and were totally against it, ironically, and as presented in this very compelling discussion here. Actually, kinda' makes ALLOT of sense when you really think about it. Duh...
Bottom line, religion itself, can be so f*cked up to begin with. Damn...
Wow. Yea, VERY interesting. Because, for starters, I have noticed myself that there DEFINITELY seems to be something going on, in more ways then one. (Then the usual sh*t we have like, almost come to expect). Especially (it would seem to me) within the last 7 months or so, with the election of the current president and all, and what seems to have become the new 'Axis of Evil' within our world, with those three nations that appear to be causing the most turmoil, destruction, and human suffering. Some kind of mysterious convergence? (I don't know). But definitely dark forces for sure (one way or the other) causing allot of pain, suffering, and confusion; which also appears to be obvious to allot of people (she discusses here) and not only myself. No further comment...
Hmm? I am not familiar with Travis Scott (at this time in my life anyway) but I am familiar with the term: "Energy Vampires." That part makes allot of sense to me (when ya really think about it) and I agree (where she makes a very insightful and interesting point) that it basically (probably) all comes from the same dark place, whether those type of often parasitic type souls are like, favorably aware of it, or not. Good stuff. (Sort of). As it seems to also have some deeper implications, I guess.
For one, Good vs Evil?
Wow! Yea, I definitely (unfortunately) think there is some truth to this. (See previous video for one). And you have to be wise in some types of human psychology, and through experience. (And because, unfortunately, we do have that dark energy in our world, and particularly in certain places, to begin with, that many light workers, and those who are spiritually advanced, gifted, and truly sincere and good people, who have a natural aversion to evil people for instance, are still learning, because it is so contrary to their own character in the first place). Some enlightening stuff for sure. No further comment...
In some spiritual circles, Perseverance is actually considered a virtue, from what I understand. In that case, I guess I would be considered a FREAKIN' SAINT!!!
Only kiddin'. (But not really). I was quite impressed more then anything else however, with this girl, and the effort (and work) she seemed to put into this amazing pep talk. She seems like a really decent person. Good show. Nice kid...
Ya know, interestingly (on the other side of the fence) many of us also know the stories behind what is known as The 27 Club for instance. (Hmm?) Makes ya' think. Just sayin...
Hmm?
This song holds an interesting memory for me that I never really ever mentioned publicly before. The memory was when I was still living on Long Island and when I was still in my early 20's. Back then, you could pretty much send out unsolicited material to major record labels. It was in relation to a demo of a song I had recorded during the Arti Studio recording sessions. It seemed someone in relation to the A&R Dept. by the name of Michael Moriarity (not the actor) at I think it was either Capital or Columbia Records, seemingly had taken notice of the song, and made me an offer of fifty thousand dollars! To give him the rights to the song (and possibly even have us re-record it ourselves on his dime). Believe it or not. He wanted me to take a trip to Manhattan to meet up with him there. To make a long story short, I went with my long time, bass player friend Steve twice, but kept missing him. The day after the 2nd attempt to meet up with him (but missed him once again!) was when I heard this song on the radio for the first time in my car, while the whole affair was still on my mind. It totally blew me away, and actually thought that I was hearing things while I was listening to the lyrics in the song for like, the first time. We were still wet behind the ears back then, as the saying goes, and I was (although not stupid) still pretty naive when it came to things like this. Just thought it fit with this blog post. But, of course now, every time I hear this song by Paul McCartney, I recall that memory...
Another funny thing that I don't think I will ever forget, was during one of our conversations on the phone, he had said that Ted Nugent had just walked in, as I could hear him stopping in the middle of our talk to say hello to him, and as he told me who it was!
Interestingly, the name of the album that this song by McCartney is on (as one can see here) is actually called 'Tug of War'! You just can't make this sh*t up...
I will also never forget, was thinking that maybe some of the people at work had like, played a joke on me or somethin' (that's how crazy the whole thing was) but they kept emphatically denying it...
I actually missed this guy like 3 times really, because when I just came back home from the 2nd time that we went to Manhattan to meet up with him, my sister had just hung up the phone as I was walking in the door, and said that he had just called and asked for me, once again, but when I had called him back, there was no answer!
Also, really strange, was that every time I would attempt to call the phone number that this guy had provided, no one ever answered the phone! (It just kept ringing). Until I finally just gave up, and threw the phone number away...
Yea, I think something is DEFIINTELY going on with this. Haven't quite been able to put my finger on it just yet, but yea, something is not quite right in relation to this.
My applause to this guy for at least discussing (and addressing) something probably many of us may be thinking to ourselves, and wondering about...
Important info, and interesting. For entertainment purposes only. No pun intended...
Interesting point though, that he makes, is that some of the most important and influential founding fathers of this Country were really Freemasons, and not Christians, as some claim, and therefore contradicts what most of the Evangelicals say for instance, about the United States being founded as a Christian Nation.
Of course, there were strongly Christian sects who came here for whatever reason (i.e. The Salem Witch Trials, etc.) but that was not the intention of the writers of the Constitution. Freedom of religion, yes. But as indicated in the First Amendment, promoting one religion over another, as well as, preventing the restriction of religious practices, was forbidden...
Yea, the contradictions (and contrasts) made in this video about the Bible (as we know it) are true, and right there in black and white. But in all fairness, the God of the Hebrew Bible (The Christian Old Testament) is DEFINITELY not ALL wrathful and the like. There are also a series of texts that are called the Apocrypha (some included in the Catholic Bible as Canonical for instance) which in my opinion, contain some of the most intriguing, powerful, and profoundly insightful words of wisdom ever written. Not to mention some of the writings of King's David and Solomon, and some of Solomon's disciples, if you will, in the Books of Wisdom (also reflected in much of the Apocrypha) which even seems to resemble (and foreshadow) some of the teachings of Jesus (and some of the prophets of that time) as well as some of the Gnostic writings the narrator briefly discusses in this video, as well as Kabbalah. (There is even a passage in the Apocrypha that actually mentions the Devil! And that: "Because of the Devil's envy, death entered into the world." And even that:
"God understands that death is grievace to man." This is all in the Jewish Apocrypha, centuries before Jesus!) Just sayin'...
Bottom line, God is a freakin' mystery man, no doubt about it. Beyond any religion. And as far as the Holy Trinity thing, yea, I don't necessarily really have a problem with that myself, per se'. I think it even kinda' makes sense. Ya know, three primary colors, the three simultaneous states of water, etc. And other things reflected in nature and all. If God is really infinite genius, goodness, compassion, justice, and love, well I would think then, he must kinda' be in love with himself, right? But totally without ego. Hence, total selfless love that needs and desires expression, by its very nature. (Including Creation). And on that high a level, who knows? And maybe, just maybe, as some of the mystics have said, that human beings are like vessels, and that the more light (and life) in your soul, the more you are filled with God, and the more you are like God. (Because God is light and life itself). And when he looks at that, he sees himself, and what he wants the world to be. (A place of goodness, compassion, social justice, and peace, if you will, because it is the opposite of darkness, chaos, selfishness, cruelty, and death). Something to think about I guess...
