AOC is the perfect example of the psychological derangement of our age. Nobody seems to doubt her eminence as a Liberal/Progressive, despite the fact that she wakes up each morning with one chief goal in mind which she has sworn to fight tooth-and-nail to help bring about. She seeks for all of the poor people of the world to be forced to pay a permanent WORLD TAX directly to the fronts of international banking cartels---whose combined net worth is the equivalent of hundreds of trillions of dollars according to their own biographies---literally for the air that they breathe.

In this video, David Goggins mentions that self-discipline is everything. It's all on you! The self part is what's big. Do not allow yourself to become civilized. Be uncommon amongst uncommon people. We have 2 voices in our minds. The coddling voice and the demon voice. The soft voice that is nurturing. The other voice that says to get up and pushes you. That's the voice you need to listen to. People look for inspiration. Inspiration is found in every first step you take. It's found in suffering. We believe we work harder than we actually are. Drop your entitled mindset. Most of us haven't worked hard. Learn to help yourself. Don't count on other people to help you. We all have our own tests. The only way to overcome it is for you and you alone to face it! Stay Hard!

Evangelical Pastor John MacArthur tells fellow pastor Beth Moore to "GO HOME!" in regards to being a female pastor

There are many articles and videos about this. Here are a few:

Does the Bible Permit a Woman to Preach? (video; John MacArthur)

John MacArthur Beth Moore Go Home (audio; John MacArthur)

'John MacArthur Attacks Beth Moore' (article; EternityNews.com)

I could make a career off of this guy! The manner in which he plays up the stereotype is the stuff of Hollywood. He resembles the character "Warden Norton" from the 'Shawshank Redemption'. I left the following comment on one of these videos:

Pastor MacArthur is very similar to Warden Norton from the 'Shawshank Redemption'. Warden Norton was a zealous Christian, stuck firm to prison doctrine, and actually had quite a dry sense of humor if you watch closely. However, just like Warden Norton, Pastor MacArthur occasionally "goes a little too far" (((sarcasm))).

Pastor MacArthur (in jest): "She doesn't bother doing much prep work for her sermons, she's such a good off-the-cuff storyteller, a lot of people are starting to listen to her, she makes them laugh, and she's so cute!"

 


 

His Judgement Cometh

....and that Right Soon

-- Warden Norton's mantra

 

************

 

Dear Warden,

You were right.

.....Salvation lay within

 -- Andy Dufresne's parting message to the warden

 

************

 

I'm almost a bit surprised that nobody seems to have picked up on the Warden Norton/Pastor MacArthur thingie. The following video is the scene where "judgement cometh" for the warden, including the above quotes, and beneath it another sarcastic comment by myself on the video...

The Shawshank Redemption - Warden Norton's Death

"This is how Pastor John MacArthur got his start! In 1970 after recovering from the bullet wound that just barely missed his brain, John MacArthur Norton was let off on a technicality, then moved to Simi Valley, Califrornia and became a pastor, and the rest is history..."

Jokes aside, the two do indeed have many similar traits, including a dry sense of humor. Even their appearance is similar, although the pastor is older than the warden, and they have the same dress and basic demeanor. The warden does have a bolder temperment, and is more violent.

Beth Moore is an eccentric pastor who deviates away from Biblical teachings to tell silly and entertaining stories, and has a certain cutsy manner about her. I can almost read Pastor MacArthur's thoughts when watching her!: "Where's the ole fire and brimstone!? She's making them laugh! She's too cute! GRRRR"

These are great real-life characters! This would make a great high school theater production. You almost couldn't make this stuff up... because anyone would tell you that the two main characters were just too over-the-top! That in real-life, they wouldn't be soo stereotypical. Well, they are! Who would she be like? Lucy Ricardo? An old Goldie Hawn character? Sort've a Kelly Ripa behind the pulpit, or how about 'Long Island Medium' of the Gospel? Here are a few examples of Pastor Moore's Biblical stand-up routine...

"In 1985 I had an Lisa-Apple Computer. I wrote programs for it and my 64 Commodor, and in my Computer Magazine was a long article about how Bill Gates was digitizing the Book of Enoch. Legal battle persued because he did not produce it in a timely manner and return after he was given it at a meeting above a Pizza Diner. By the time the original was given back tons of pages were missing and destroyed. Why do I remember this? I was in college and working for a Pizza diner and a re-stocking at local and college libraries to put myself through college. I read the old paper version as it was written long before the crime took place. I know for a fact you have not read an old pre-1930's paper version. Beware of Digital Enoch."

Full Sturgeon Moon – August

This will be something of a tweener between two evenings (8/22@8:02 est), but it will be at it's brightest on the evening of Saturday, August 21st/the early morning hours of Sunday, August 22nd.

The fishing tribes are given credit for the naming of this Moon, since sturgeon, a large fish of the Great Lakes and other major bodies of water, were most readily caught during this month. A few tribes knew it as the Full Red Moon because, as the Moon rises, it appears reddish through any sultry haze. It was also called the Green Corn Moon or Grain Moon.

"Hour of the Witch"

The above was a Christian video series produced by Steve Wohlberg/White Horse Media about ten years ago about how "omg! witchcraft is going mainstream!" He obviously put a lot of work into it, but it never really took off in the way he wanted it to with about a thousand views a year. I thought it was funny that one YouTube user, Carla Brown, left a comment regarding how all these references would actually be an education for someone who was actually interested in the subject of Wicca: "Man this guy is giving out good books on wicca." I replied to her....

I remember something Stephen Flowers said several years ago in an interview. He brought up how his childhood Christian community (pastor, parents, sunday school teachers, etc) in Texas had brought to his attention a whole slew of pagan and occult things to avoid... and instead of avoiding them he thought: "wow, this looks like the kinda stuff that I should be getting into!"

Guido von List: Part 31 - 'The Religion of the Aryo-Germanic Folk' (book review)

 
'The Religion of the Aryo-Germanic Folk: Esoteric and Exoteric' (List 1909; Flowers' translation 2005)

Actually this is more of a 56 page pamphlet, but a good one! I read this some years ago, but didn't review it because I wanted to support Runa Raven Press and Dr. Stephen Flowers, and in particular the very explicit warning on one of the first pages about the copyright. I have referred to it occasionally in this series. If it wasn't so stern of a warning, then I may well have reviewed it; including a few excerpts. Since it's now easily available on Amazon.com, I wanted to try to promote it in some way with something of a review. Apparently Runa Raven Press is no longer active; perhaps Dr. Flowers uses his own publisher. In any case, I still wanted to adhere to the copyright warning. However, I will go out on a limb to use one particularly important and integral word below; along with just a few words from its definition in the glossary to help promote this publication.


************


From the publisher

A general outline of the religious philosophy of Guido von List originally published in the 1920s and a companion volume to The Secret of the Runes. There is an introductory essay by Stephen E. Flowers on the roots of Lists ideas and philosophy.

Customer Review

Ron Spolar - 5.0 out of 5 stars - January 7, 2018

Excellent book on Wotan and Aryan beliefs, pre-Christain Germanic customs, religion and much more. Impressive.

This decides the Germanic tradition with what I would call linguistic-forensics. I outlined this book and found it difficult at times to untangle some of the meanings. It was written over 100 years ago; it reflects racism that had yet to germinate. I'm amazed over all the Wotan and Aryan teachings borrowed by the founders of the Christianity;ideas that we were taught in Catechism as being original to Christianity. Approaches religious thought like paganism, Wicca and Faery Tradition concerning God being within yourself, not in a church. List's thoughts on this religion may help some readers integrate their religious thoughts in a way they may have never thought possible. Lots of good pre-christian mythology which can be hard to find. Upon completing the book I felt like had read something profound. Never felt that way about a book before.



************


My take on this book is a little different. I see the information as being just as much Proto-European as it is Teutonic in origin. Of course, they became one people in any sort've modern reflection. I recall somewhere in the book, List makes some mention of perhaps the presence of various spiritual concepts which are of different--maybe sub-tribal--origin. I believe that this may be due to the blending of Proto-European with Teutonic 3,000 or more years ago. I prefer the word "Teutonic" here to Germanic as to not be mixed up with modern ethnic German culture. List uses the term "Aryan" in a manner which is more attuned to an Indo-European concept. In other words, he ties many items from ancient Teutonic, European, Greek, Persian, and Indian languages, spirituality, and traditions. The book delves deep into mysticism, metaphysics, symbols, and linguistics.


Getting back to the linguistics, having spent time closely examining words from the Camunian dialect of the Lombard language (in large part a mixture of Proto-European and Roman/Latin), many Lombard/Camunian words are clearly not of Latin origin. These words are also probably not of Gaulish (the Camunni were not a Gallo-Celt tribe) or Teutonic origin. List, along with the mainstream historians of the day, did not seem to acknowledge the ancient Celtic or Proto-European component of Austria for example. It was "Teutonic," period. Having experienced a type of "mystical" experience before myself, I don't discount List's mysticism. However, some of it may well be of the Proto-European connection.



"Wihinei"

Pronounced "VEE-inn-eye," this is the Listian term for esoteric religion. The exoteric being the simpler outer spiritual layer; the esoteric being the deeper meaning of it. List believed that this deeper connection was administered to by a Skaldic priesthood, something similar to the Druidic priesthood. I won't delve any deeper regarding the origin of this word, but it essentially defines this book. In other words, buy the book. I don't think that I've crossed the line by at least making mention of it. I believe that the ancient roots of at least the Teutonic component of this spirituality originated in the Teutonic homeland, somewhere north of the Himalayas, and was brought to both ancient northern Europe and ancient Persia. This may explain some of the connections. From there, it likely was further transported to Spain, Italy, India, Assyria, etc. As far as I can see, 'The Religion of the Aryo-Germanic Folk' is a great short work that defines the deeper essence of Asatru/Odinism.
