BOOK: "You are the Beloved"
A wonderful quote from the book "You are the Beloved":
"if you dare to believe that you are beloved before you are born, you may suddenly realize that your life is very, very special. You become conscious that you were sent here just for a short time, for twenty, forty or eighty years, to discover and believe that you are a beloved child of God. The length of time doesn't matter. You are sent into this world to believe in yourself as God's chosen one and then to help your brothers and sisters know that they are also Beloved Sons and Daughters of God who belong together. You're sent into this world to be a people of reconciliation. You are sent to heal, to break down the walls between you and your neighbors, locally, nationally, and globally. Before all distinctions, the separations, and the walls build on foundations of fear, there was a unity in the mind and heart of God. Out of that unity, you are sent into this world for a little while to claim that you and every other human being belongs to the same God of Love who lives from eternity to eternity."

BOOKS: "The Experience of God"
Simon Kidd reviews the book "The Experience of God" by David Bentley Hart:
"The Experience of God is divided into three main parts, with a preceding ten-page ‘Introduction’ detailing David Bentley Hart’s motive for writing it. He explains that recent heated debates about the existence of God indicate a fundamental confusion about the subject. In some ways the book is a challenge to atheists to be clear about what it is that they don’t believe, a task DBH has undertaken at greater length in his 2009 Atheist Delusions: The Christian Revolution and Its Fashionable Enemies, also published by Yale.
"This is a book of philosophy, rather than theology, and at its core is the tradition of ‘classical theism’. Stemming from Plato and Aristotle, this tradition was developed in the early Christian centuries by the ‘Fathers of the Church’ as well as pagans like Plotinus, reaching its apogee in the writings of the medieval philosopher-theologians of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Apart from the ‘Religions of the Book’, DBH says that the definition of God that he is offering is one that can be found in ‘Vedantic and Bhaktic Hinduism, Sikhism, various late antique paganisms [and] even applies in many respects to various Mahayana formulations of, say, the Buddha Consciousness or the Buddha Nature, or even to the earliest Buddhist conception of the Unconditioned, or to certain aspects of the Tao’ (4). This universalism is also captured in the book’s subtitle, since ‘being, consciousness, bliss’ are translations of the Sanskrit ‘sat, chit, ananda’, which are usually combined into the portmanteau ‘Satchitananda’ (with variant spellings), a term referring to the ultimate reality, Brahman (see Wikipedia: ‘Satchitananda’). The Sanskrit terms are used explicitly in Part Two.

BIBLE: The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus
The Rich Man and Lazarus
“There was a rich man who dressed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. But at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus whose body was covered with sores, who longed to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. In addition, the dogs came and licked his sores.
“Now the poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. And in hell, as he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far off with Lazarus at his side. So he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in anguish in this fire.’ But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things and Lazarus likewise bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in anguish. Besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us, so that those who want to cross over from here to you cannot do so, and no one can cross from there to us.’
So the rich man said, ‘Then I beg you, father—send Lazarus to my father’s house (for I have five brothers) to warn them so that they don’t come into this place of torment.’ But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; they must respond to them.’ Then the rich man said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’ He replied to him, ‘If they do not respond to Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”

SCIENCE: The Zeller-Nikolov climate discovery may turn the world upside down.
How much does CO2 contribute to the warming of the earth's atmosphere? Would you believe ZERO, nada, not at all? Well, the truth is, it literally doesn't matter what the composition of an atmosphere of a planet is, the maximum average temperature of a planet can be determined knowing only two variables: the distance the planet is from the sun, and how HEAVY the atmosphere is, otherwise known as atmospheric pressure. As any even a beginner meteorologist knows, it's changes in PRESSURE, that determines weather, and has a lot to do with climate as well. As humans, we control neither pressure nor the distance we are from the sun. So stop your worrying!!!
"The Zeller-Nikolov discovery means that Earth's atmosphere keeps us warm via gas-compression heating under the weight of Earth's approximately 300-mile-thick atmosphere, not by the greenhouse effect. An actual greenhouse has a glass wall enclosing it. Earth has no enclosure and is open to space, so the two scientists suggest that the term "greenhouse effect" be replaced by "atmospheric thermal enhancement." Heat is created by compressing atmospheric gases through the pull of gravity. Similarly, in a diesel engine a piston is used to compress gases to generate enough heat to eliminate the need for a spark plug. The tremendous gravitational pull on the enormous mass of Earth's atmosphere combined with solar radiation warms our planet just enough to allow carbon-based life forms to flourish.
"If carbon dioxide was the powerful greenhouse gas alarmists claim it to be, the calculations for Venus would have to be dramatically different than the calculations for Earth, but they are the same. This tells us that CO2 has no measurable direct effect on planetary temperature, which makes perfect sense as the Earth has experienced severe ice ages when atmospheric CO2 levels were many times higher than they are today."

SELF LOVE: How To Love
“One of the great intellectual puzzles that daily life forces all of us to consider on a slightly too regular basis is: ‘Why are other people so awful? How come they are so unreliable, aggressive, deceitful, mean, two-faced or cowardly?’ As we search for answers, we tend quite naturally to fall back on a standard, compact and tempting explanation: because they are terrible people. They are appalling, crooked, deformed or ‘bad’; that’s simply how some types are. The conclusion may be grim, but it also feels very true and fundamentally unbudgeable…”

PHILOSOPHY: Amazing Clip From Jordan Peterson Vs Dr William Lane Craig
Dr. William Lane Craig puts a question to Dr. Jordan Peterson that is something I might ask Peterson myself if I were to see him: why not just finally admit there is a transcendent realm of truth, and stop goofing around with the naturalism nonsense? Jordan defends his naturalistic premise, but not very well. But then when you talking with a very well educated and truly wise philosopher like William Lane Craig, you are not going to sound very reasonable.

NDE: Anda's Experience
Experience description:
15 years old.
I was very depressed for a long while.
I had been writing in my journal for months these five words "I want to go home".
it got to the point where I only wrote those five words and nothing else. I was in a sad stagnant void in my life and didn't like myself at all.
I had stopped believing in god. (my family was never religious... more spiritual)
But those five words were the only thing that I could express.... and the words themselves frustrated me because as I wrote them out day after day even I did not understand what I meant! I wondered why I was compelled to write something so futile. I did want a place that felt like home (my home felt wrong to me... lacking in unconditional love... and I felt like a guest with my father and step-mother)... but I couldn't fathom where or what home was... or if I could I couldn't see how I could access one (a real home where I felt loved and even celebrated for just being myself).

NOTE: I am reposting this testimony here because I know EXACTLY what she felt, I mean exactly. This place is not our home.

BOOKS: Simone Weil
"Some lives are exemplary, others not; and of exemplary lives, there are those which invite us to imitate them, and those which we regard from a distance with a mixture of revulsion, pity, and reverence. It is, roughly, the difference between the hero and the saint (if one may use the latter term in an aesthetic, rather than a religious sense). Such a life, absurd in its exaggerations and degree of self-mutilation—like Kleist’s, like Kierkegaard’s—was Simone Weil’s. I am thinking of the fanatical asceticism of Simone Weil’s life, her contempt for pleasure and for happiness, her noble and ridiculous political gestures, her elaborate self-denials, her tireless courting of affliction; and I do not exclude her homeliness, her physical clumsiness, her migraines, her tuberculosis. No one who loves life would wish to imitate her dedication to martyrdom nor would wish it for his children nor for anyone else whom he loves. Yet so far as we love seriousness, as well as life, we are moved by it, nourished by it. In the respect we pay to such lives, we acknowledge the presence of mystery in the world—and mystery is just what the secure possession of the truth, an objective truth, denies. In this sense, all truth is superficial; and some (but not all) distortions of the truth, some (but not all) insanity, some (but not all) unhealthiness, some (but not all) denials of life are truth-giving, sanity-producing, health-creating, and life-enhancing."

BOETHIUS: Boethius, Session 02 - When Fortune Turns Against You
"Join Signum University's Dr. Corey Olsen as he continues his much anticipated Mythgard Academy class on Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy. By the end you'll be wondering if you were always destined to enjoy it as much as you did!
"In Book Two Lady Philosophy explains to Boethius how Fortune works. Fortune has not changed or mistreated Boethius. Change is what Fortune does. His prior success was not a reward, but merely the up side of fortune, to be followed inevitably by the down side. Trusting in Fortune leads inevitably to disappointment. Fortune enjoys turning her wheel. Her gifts are hers to bestow and take back. And the vicissitudes of Fortune are perfectly natural. So the real problem is in Boethius' thinking. Goods that may be lost, as all the goods of Fortune are, cannot be the basis of true happiness."

Is our "natural born trajectory" on a path to heaven, or hell? Well, according to the "spirit of the age", we are almost all on a trajectory towards heaven, if people even believe in the concept of heaven anymore. But when you read the Bible, especially the Gospels, the answer is quite the opposite: we are on the highway to hell, literally. It takes *intention* to go to heaven. It takes *effort* and mindfulness. If there is a path to heaven, how to we obtain it? Fr. Mike Schmitz tell us the Christian path to eternal life, as taught by Jesus.

Bob Jones, a hillbilly from Arkansas, is my all time favorite NDE testimony. He never wrote a book, or did a thing to popularize his account, but lot of folks who heard it, worked with Bob to help him share what he saw and experienced. This is a MUST SEE video!

ECONOMICS: Peter Schiff - Americans Are Going to be Impoverished
Peter Schiff understands the world of finance and economics as well as anyone, and he also understands how the Federal Reserve is used to manipulate the market and the economy. What's he saying is completely true: the Fed is intentionally working to wreck the economy. It's far from the first time they've done this.

NDE: Dying to Wake Up ~ Rajiv Parti, MD
It's not easy to dismiss near death experiences when they happen non-religious atheists and agnostics, especially when they are scientists and doctors! Dr. Rajiv Parti explains his own hellish NDE experience, and how it's changed him completely. This is a must watch for every NDE skeptic. Even more interesting, Dr. Rajiv Parti was raised as a Hindu, but much what he saw in his NDE was in accordance with Judeo-Christian theology. There are certain aspects of Hinduism that do support NDE experiences though, as Dr Rajiv Parti explains. This is an amazing testimony.

NDE: Both 4-year Boy Colton & 8-year Akiane Saw Lord Jesus Christ
HEAVEN IS FOR REAL! Some of the best near death experiences are those related by children, it seems as if Heaven goes above and beyond when a child enters it's realm. Absolutely incredible testimony! Coulton Burpo literally sat on the lap of Jesus when he was in heaven as a four year old boy. What's amazing is after he came back from the dead, and started telling his parents about his experience, his father showed him all the famous portraits of Jesus done by various artists over the years, and asked him for his opinion as to the accuracy of the depiction. The only portrait of Jesus that met Coultan's approval was done by the child artist Akiane.

POLITICS: "Conservative Democracy"
"There are prominent scholars and public figures who are convinced that “things are getting better” in almost every way. As for me, I find it difficult not to see the Western nations disintegrating before our eyes. The most significant institutions that have characterized America and Britain for the last five centuries, giving these countries their internal coherence and stability—the Bible, public religion, the independent national state, and the traditional family—are not merely under assault. They have been, at least since World War II, in precipitous decline.
"In the United States, for example, some 40 percent of children are today born outside of marriage. The overall fertility rate has fallen to 1.76 children per woman. American children for the most part receive twelve years of public schooling that is scrubbed clean of God and Scripture. And it is now possible to lose one’s livelihood or even to be prosecuted for maintaining traditional Christian or Jewish views on various subjects."

NDE: A CANDID TALK WITH HOWARD STORM
A fun, light hearted, but also quite serious interview with Howard Storm. Unfortunately the interviewer brings up the subject of "spirit boxes", which Howard is not familiar with, but I am. The spirits that are most frequently contacted by spirt boxes are demons, but being demons, they don't just come out and admit it. They are not to be messed with, as they will open up a portal of darkness into your life, and it's only by God's grace that one is protected from these vile creatures. It's no where near as innocent or good as the interviewer seems to suggest. And yes, demons have no problems quoting scriptures at length in order to deceive you. Don't ever mess with spirit boxes.
Despite the spirit box nonsense, the interview is still very much worth listening too, as it's been 33 years now since Howard Storm's very dramatic near death experience, and he talks very candidly about the challenges that he faced after that fateful day on June 1, 1985, when he literally died.

SELF-LOVE: ‘I Always Steal My Friends’ Boyfriends, and I Can’t Stop!’
"Making out with your friend’s prom date isn’t a “frustrating situation” that you passively land in, beyond your control. Stealing away with your close friend’s crush isn’t a casual blooper that “seems to keep cropping up,” one that only has consequences because it violates some secret, hard-to-decipher “girl code.” Developing a crush on your new friend’s boyfriend isn’t a “pretty benign” scenario that you just need to “develop the skills to manage.” You’re telling an inaccurate story about how you keep falling into emotional quicksand. But you’re not a fool for unrequited love. You’re an emotional terrorist on a single-minded quest."

My 20s and early 30s have been a twisting crisscross of moves all over the West Coast, a couple of brief stints abroad, multiple jobs in a mediocre role with no real upward track. I was also the poster child for serial monogamy. My most hopeful and longest lasting relationship (three and a half years, whoopee) ended two years ago. We moved to a new town (my fourth new city), created a home together, and then nose-dived into a traumatic breakup that launched me to my fifth and current city and who-knows-what-number job."

On the contrary, his campaign was punctuated by violations of political correctness that raised constant uproar—as is his presidency. There seems to be no deception. What we saw is what we are getting."

PHILOSOPHY: George Berkely
"George Berkeley, Bishop of Cloyne, was one of the great philosophers of the early modern period. He was a brilliant critic of his predecessors, particularly Descartes, Malebranche, and Locke. He was a talented metaphysician famous for defending idealism, that is, the view that reality consists exclusively of minds and their ideas. Berkeley's system, while it strikes many as counter-intuitive, is strong and flexible enough to counter most objections. His most-studied works, the Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge (Principles, for short) and Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous (Dialogues), are beautifully written and dense with the sort of arguments that delight contemporary philosophers."

"Right? Why else go through all the pain and hardship? It’s to achieve happiness in some way.
"And I’m not the only person who believed that. In fact, if you look around you, most people are pursuing happiness in their lives.
"That’s why we collectively buy shit we don’t need, go to bed with people we don’t love, and try to work hard to get approval of people we don’t like.
"Why do we do these things? To be honest, I don’t care what the exact reason is. I’m not a scientist. All I know is that it has something to do with history, culture, media, economy, psychology, politics, the information era, and you name it. The list is endless."

"The special funeral train carrying former President George H.W. Bush arrived in College Station, Texas on Thursday -- the last leg of his journey before America's 41st president is laid to rest.
"Following a funeral at St. Martin’s Episcopal Church in Houston, Bush’s casket – draped in an American flag – was loaded aboard a Union Pacific Locomotive 4141 train car in Spring, Texas.
"Former President George W. Bush and his family were among those in attendance at the ceremony, after which they boarded the train.
"During the funeral, the elder Bush – who died Friday at age 94 – was remembered for his “decency, boundless kindness and consideration of others” by a longtime friend and former secretary of state, James Baker.
"Bush is to be interred on the grounds of the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum, on the Texas A&M University campus, near his wife, Barbara, and Robin, their daughter who died of leukemia at the age of 3 in 1953.
"The train was scheduled to slow down through a number of towns along its roughly 70-mile trip. That included Magnolia, where hundreds of people gathered to see 4141 go by. Crowd members waved flags and cheered as the train arrived.
"There have been several other such funeral trains in the nation's history. That includes the one that carried Dwight D. Eisenhower’s body from the National Cathedral in Washington to his Kansas hometown of Abilene several decades ago, according to The Associated Press."

BIBLE: A reading from 1 John
1 John 3 New Living Translation (NLT)
3 See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don’t recognize that we are God’s children because they don’t know him. 2 Dear friends, we are already God’s children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is. 3 And all who have this eager expectation will keep themselves pure, just as he is pure.
4 Everyone who sins is breaking God’s law, for all sin is contrary to the law of God.5 And you know that Jesus came to take away our sins, and there is no sin in him.6 Anyone who continues to live in him will not sin. But anyone who keeps on sinning does not know him or understand who he is.
7 Dear children, don’t let anyone deceive you about this: When people do what is right, it shows that they are righteous, even as Christ is righteous. 8 But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. 9 Those who have been born into God’s family do not make a practice of sinning, because God’s life[a] is in them. So they can’t keep on sinning, because they are children of God. 10 So now we can tell who are children of God and who are children of the devil. Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love other believers does not belong to God.

NDE: Spiritual Healing - Near Death Experience - Janie Thompson
One thing that often happens with those who have gone through Near Death Experiences, is that they are given an ability to interact with the spirit world. Not just angels and demons, but also what we commonly refer to as "ghosts", the sprits of those who have departed, but for reasons unknown hang around planet earth instead of going to their Great Beyond.
Janie Thompson had a very profound NDE, and when she came back, she found that spirits were communicating with her. Since she had no foundation or training for this sort of things, she did not know what to do about it, and it drover her into becoming a near hermit. Having that ability is NOT a blessing, as you now have an entire other dimension you have to content with, along with your regular, earthly life.
This is a fascinating testimony to listen to.

POETRY: "Banging a New Drum to Love"
“Banging a New Drum to Love”
By Josiah Cullen
Pictures of angels are gifted to humanity to ponder
If you knew one it would be mightier to see than any painting
You give a bold justice to ask for them to help you
Are angels picked to go to your aid and retrain your gaze?
Huge faithful ideas bridge the stars to say are they here or far?
Quick and strong, they sing your song and teach it to you
This is a bold nature of the angelic hosts who live to sing
If a value was put on their words, it is to retrain yours about you
Hearing the Father say to a full strong fleet, go tell them who they are
It gives the name of Jesus ignition to start a faithful recognition
This is the fundamental issue of the day to fight your true identity
Ring the bell again to the function of a new man and it is gifted
Love as a valued person to give love as a valued person to get it back
Mine the rights of the inheritance of a child who is God’s and hold them
It is the banter of angels to tell you again this news is good news!
Pick the finest hint to say holy is the Lord who sends angels our way
Time to bang a drum to help and bring the humble the story again
Life is bold to give love as wildly as finest lost treasure found and shared
If love named you new in the thought of God about you, are you true?
Pictures of angels are gifted to humanity to ponder
If you knew one it would be mightier to see than any painting
You give a bold justice to ask for them to help you
Are angels picked to go to your aid and retrain your gaze?
Huge faithful ideas bridge the stars to say are they here or far?
Quick and strong, they sing your song and teach it to you
This is a bold nature of the angelic hosts who live to sing
If a value was put on their words, it is to retrain yours about you
Hearing the Father say to a full strong fleet, go tell them who they are
It gives the name of Jesus ignition to start a faithful recognition
This is the fundamental issue of the day to fight your true identity
Ring the bell again to the function of a new man and it is gifted
Love as a valued person to give love as a valued person to get it back
Mine the rights of the inheritance of a child who is God’s and hold them
It is the banter of angels to tell you again this news is good news!
Pick the finest hint to say holy is the Lord who sends angels our way
Time to bang a drum to help and bring the humble the story again
Life is bold to give love as wildly as finest lost treasure found and shared
If love named you new in the thought of God about you, are you true?

CULTURE: Transgender Mania is Sign of Cultural Collapse
The nice thing about Camille Paglia, is she's not afraid to speak her mind. Sadly, she is one of the few who sees the collective stupidity of current pop culture, and it's dangers. Our leaders and media are leading us down the path to a new and more horrible dark ages, and transgenderism is one of the main tools in their arsenal.

NDE: "The 1 Thing I Learned About Living From Dying"
"Most of us have no idea who we are. Whenever I meet strangers, instead of asking them what they do for work (as New Yorkers so often do), I ask, “What do you stand for?”
"Nobody has ever been able to answer that.
"The most important thing is to be true to yourself. Once you know who you are and what you stand for, the game is over."

NDE: Tricia Barker's Conversations with NDErs: Episode #22 Sharon Milliman
Tricia Barker interviews Sharon Milliman who has literally met God the Father, the only person I've ever heard of who has had an encounter like this. Many NDE experiencers have met Jesus and angels, but she's the only one I've found that has met God himself. As is often the case with people who have had NDE's, Sharon had a very difficult life, and at one time was seriously considering suicide. But, as you can imagine, the experiences she has had have totally transformed her life, and she has some tremendous wisdom to share. While the NDE community's main message is that there is nothing to fear in death, the secondary message is how we need to live life in the here and now. Good stuff!

Monday, August 20, 2018
I find this to be a very, very, very interesting post from the famous "Q"....this was posted Sunday, August 19 at 23:02:47 EST. No one know's who Q is, but it's very safe to say he works for Donald Trump. I normally don't post Q drops, but this one seems to signal that something very big is about to begin.
Key to abbreviations:
CS = Christopher Steele (Former British Spy at MI6, worked for Fusion GPS)
BO = Bruce Ohr (Associate Deputy Attorney General at DoJ under the Obama Admin.)
NO = Nellie Ohr (employed by Fusion GPS to dig dirt on Donald Trump, wife of Bruce)
RR - Rod Rosenstein (Deputy Director of the FBI)
HRC = Hillary Rodham Clinton
The document link in his post goes directly to the FBI website, and show the FISA warrant to authorize spying on Carter Page.
