As often happens here in the Bible belt, I recently met a neighbor who disclosed he was a Born Again Christian.  While I immediately understood his belief system, my attempt to share mine was a disaster.  After some contemplation, this is the result …

I am a Gnostic Christian

The original Gnostics were one of several early Christian sects that existed before Christianity became standardized into one set of writings, with one standard creed.

Gnostic writings flourished among the initial Christians of the second century, until the organizers of the early Church decided they were heresy.  Within a hundred years or so, all of the Gnostics were gone, and their writings were erased from history.

Then in 1945, the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in Egypt.  These included many of the original Gnostic texts that had previously been hidden and destroyed.

So What Made the Gnostics Heretics?

The Gnostics believed that the real ministry of Jesus was to clarify the true nature of god (the father/source) — the alpha and the omega — the first and the last — the beginning and the end.

Further, that Jesus taught how this truth can be known through direct personal experience. And once attained, people can have a direct personal relationship with god … with nobody required in between (rabbi, priest, bishop, pope, imam, ayatollah, king, etc.).

“Gnosis – the act of knowing through experience”

By these criteria alone, I am a Gnostic Christian.

Born Again Gnostic

To call myself a Gnostic, however, is not sufficient.  I want to acknowledge the history of the Gnostics, and how they were suppressed and erased for over 1700 years.  How their persecution continues today, and how it has expanded into the thought and narrative control we see in other modern power structures.

For these reasons and more, I am a Born Again Gnostic.

Until next time …

When I was young, I remember being taught in school how to protect myself from a nuclear explosion by hiding under my desk.

As the years went by, this fear of annihilation morphed into a cold war between two major powers.  On one side was the United States, with its Bill of Rights and Constitutional government.  On the other was the Soviet Union, and its communist form of governance.

We were told that the communists were godless, and persecuted churches and peoples of faith.  We were told that their elections were shams, and the only people that could be elected were approved by the “party.”  We were told that their history was distorted, and that their news was lies and propaganda.

We were told that their people lived in fear, for if they said or did the wrong thing, they would be sent to a gulag in Siberia.

How could those people not know they were being lied to?

How could they not know they were slaves/prisoners?

Today I understand.

As Judge Napolitano writes about tomorrow, we have become the people of the former Soviet Union.  Welcome to Amerika 2024.

“We know they are lying, they know they are lying, they know we know they are lying, we know they know we know they are lying, but they are still lying.”
– Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

If you were born at exactly the same moment — to a different mother, a different community, a different religion — would you still be who you currently are?

Many people believe that genetics (as inherited through our family tree) determines our race, color, and gender. They believe that our life experiences, as shared with family and community, paint unique stories of our lives that define who we are.

But what if we are more than this?

More and more people are realizing that we are more than just our physical body, and more than just the stories we tell ourselves about our past. (All of the great world religions and spiritual traditions share these concepts. They also share certain techniques that can be used to attain the higher states of consciousness where these concepts can be experienced directly.)

And more and more people are realizing that you are too. When you can see your enemy as another divine being sharing a human experience, you can suddenly understand how life circumstances could have brought them to this point in their life. Just as your life circumstances has brought you to yours.

“There but by the grace of God go I”

The true path to harmony lies not in replacing one narrative with another. The true path lies in removing the narratives all together.

The true path is in coming to know who you really are, then aligning with your life purpose.

Until next time …

World War III is happening right now, and you are in it.

Centers of power have aligned in strategies and tactics, and open warfare is ongoing.

Advances in technology, biology and psychology have merged to allowed big tech, media, pharma and government to drive behaviors for profit and control.  And just like the prior two world wars, this one is world wide.

We see this in the globally coordinated attacks on money supplies, small businesses, commodities, energy, and services of all sorts.  We see it in the globally coordinated attacks on history, education and political systems.  And we see it in the globally coordinated biological attacks, responses, and counter-attacks.

Unlike prior world wars, however, this one is not being fought with guns, between people in different geographical locations.  This one is being fought with words, images and concepts, globally, by the powers that be versus everyone else.  It’s a battle for our minds, and their primary weapon is the narrative … infused via propaganda and censorship.

Until next time …

Here’s the first in a series of new videos …

Am I a Christian

I’ve previously written about consciousness, meditation, and something I call “the harmony point.”  One of the challenges in writing on these topics, is how difficult it is to describe something that is often beyond words.

I recently came across two videos that do a good job of describing these same concepts from slightly different perspectives. The first one will resonate with those who come out of a Bible-based tradition.

The second will resonate with those who come out of a more spiritual tradition.

Either way, enjoy, and comments welcome …

One concept you quickly learn in the computer world is known as “garbage in, garbage out.” Even with the best intentions, programs, policies, and procedures, if you use bad data, you will get bad results.

The question with the Georgia vote, near as I can tell, is whether the data is bad. One assertion is that thousands of fraudulent ballots were inserted into the vote pool when certain Georgia counties were shut down.

The way things stand right now, even if that were true, those votes would still count. So, simply recounting what we already have, will only give totals that include thousands of potentially corrupted votes.

You see, back in March, Georgia signed a consent decree to address a previous election lawsuit.  And as a result, rules designed to prevent this type of mail-in election fraud were greatly reduced.

The real question is whether this consent decree is legal. That’s what the Lin Wood lawsuit filed last Friday is all about. That’s where the real action is.  The rest is garbage in, garbage out …

P.S.  Several other states also reduced their voter verification laws, and now face similar charges of fraud.  Coincidence?  Coordinated? Treason?
