cult of personality

Look in my eyes, what do you see?

The cult of personality

When I was a young Bondo, I can remember at various times wishing that I was Charlton Heston fighting the Planet of the Apes or Rocky Balboa or Han Solo. I many times wished I could be Kenny “the Snake” Stabler leading the Raiders past the Steelers and Dolphins. And, even though I knew I would never have the thighs for it- I dreamed of bowling over defenders like Earl Campbell.

As I got older, I saw who really got the women and found myself aspiring to be David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar. Man I loved that dude’s hair. Still do.

I know you anger, I know your dreams I’ve been everything you wanna be

I’m the cult of personality

 

People have always been susceptible to celebrity worship. Hero worship. Blindly following a person based upon image. If David Lee Roth had revealed in an interview that he ate cockroach excrement for breakfast I would have found it endearing. Sammy Hagar really DOES believe there are alien bases on the dark side of the moon- wow! how enlightened the “Red Rocker” is!

I exploit you, still you love me. I tell you one and one makes three

I’m the cult of personality

We know that God works through people. He can work through every one of us. We are commanded to love one another and treat everyone the way we want to be treated. It is a natural instinct to like, appreciate, and enjoy other people- we are social creatures. If you are not grounded in God and seeking Him first- this leaves you extremely vulnerable to social snares. The Adversary knows how powerful celebrity is- how much we love our heroes- and takes full advantage of this.

You gave me fortune, You gave me fame
You gave me power in your God’s name
I’m every person you need to be
I’m the cult of personality

This has indeed been around a long time. One example of it is given in 1 Samuel 8 and the reason for it is explained:

⁴ Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah, ⁵ And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations. ⁶ But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the Lord. ⁷ And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.

The people rejected God and sought a celebrity. They wanted a “star” like everybody else.

Put God first. People will inevitably make mistakes, let you down. Celebrities and glitterati have a false message. Their lord is not our Lord.

For anyone interested, I included the lyrics and video from Cult of Personality that was quoted from above.  I originally liked it because it is rock-n-roll baby, but today I appreciate the message. Anytime a light shines out of a dark place, that is a good thing.

 

“Cult Of Personality”- Living Colour
(And during the few moments that we have left we wanna talk right down to earth in a language, that everybody here can easily understand)

Look in my eyes, what do you see?
The cult of personality
I know your anger, I know your dreams
I’ve been everything you wanna be

I’m the cult of personality
Like Mussolini and Kennedy
I’m the cult of personality
The cult of personality
The cult of personality

Neon lights, Nobel Prize
When a mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You won’t have to follow me
Only you can set me free

I sell the things you need to be
I’m the smiling face on your TV
I’m the cult of personality
I exploit you, still you love me
I tell you one and one makes three

I’m the cult of personality
Like Joseph Stalin and Gandhi
I’m the cult of personality
The cult of personality
The cult of personality

Neon lights, Nobel Prize
When a leader speaks, that leader dies
You won’t have to follow me
Only you can set you free

You gave me fortune
You gave me fame
You gave me power in your God’s name
I’m every person you need to be
I’m the cult of personality
I’m the cult of
I’m the cult of
I’m the cult of
I’m the cult of
I’m the cult of
I’m the cult of
I’m the cult of
I’m the cult of personality

a fleeting glimpse

When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown, the dream is gone
And I have become, comfortably numb. -Roger Waters in Comfortably Numb

I like the way a surreal experience we all have is described in that song. A fleeting glimpse. Have you ever had one?

One time, for a second, I could comprehend eternity. It was a fleeting glimpse of forever.

And then, it was gone. I remember the experience, but not what I saw and felt in that millisecond- the flash of enlightenment. But I was changed. I can’t explain- that knowledge and experience was added to me in a way that it became a part of me. I never saw it again, but I don’t need to because now I know it.

Does that make any sense?

Epiphanies, inspiration, dreams, ESP, a bolt from the blue, revelation, deja vu, visions, premonitions. Pierce the veil. There are many words and descriptions for the phenomenon that involves some sort of communication with the beyond. 

Many of us pray. That is one side of what should be a two-way communication. Those dreams and inspirations are the other side coming back at you.

It is spirit talking to spirit. In that moment, you hear it and receive it, and then you know it and understand it.

There used to be a conceptualization of the Spirit being like a radio station. You get in touch with God by turning your radio on.

God speaks to you always. It takes patience, faith, and practice to hear it. It takes belief and understanding.

And discernment.

Just like on the radio, there are other stations besides the God station on the radio.

Find God on your radio and leave it there. You don’t need to hear anything else.

If you listen to FM K666, you might start to like it. Too much.

God’s fleeting glimpses are better.

Go old-school. Get in touch with God- turn you radio on:

ufo

Have you ever seen one of them UFO’s? Through the years I’ve had lots of people tell me about seeing one. It’s usually a good story and the person telling it is usually excited and eager to relate the experience. Although they don’t know what it is they saw, they know what they saw.

I don’t know how people feel about the UFO’s. It’s one of those subjects that are closed. People believe or they don’t and they will steadfastly reject any evidence to the contrary.

I am very skeptical of visitations from aliens, in fact, I don’t believe we have been visited like that.

But, I have seen UFO’s. I prefer to call them Unexplainable Flying Objects.

I have had several encounters with strange “lights”. They were points of light of various colors that did strange maneuvers. But to be honest, these were inconclusive and just hard to know what is actually being seen. Weird and cool, but not real impressive.

But, I’ve twice seen those that were ‘real’. I don’t know what I saw, but I know what I saw.

One night in February six or seven years ago, I noticed an unusual- although not the only time I have seen it- cloud formation. About half of the sky was clear, and the other half was covered by a thin cloud bank, with gaps and cracks throughout, like a jagged, cracked ice flow.

What caught my attention was the separation between the two skies was a perfectly straight line. As I was staring at the straight line- as if a giant squee-gee had pushed the cloud patch across the sky- I noticed a light in the distance coming my way. At first I just assumed it was a plane, but soon realized it was approaching faster than a plane normally would.

I watched and the object moved into the cloud bank and passed nearly directly overhead. Through a break in the clouds, I could see a teardrop shaped object zipping through the sky. It was shaped kind of like a helicopter, but without the rotors or any wings. There weren’t any flashing lights.

As it passed through the cloud bank, a light like a search beam on a cop car, moved all around shining down into the clouds, as if searching for something in the clouds.

It never made a sound.

The other experience I had was creepy. I was working patrol one night four years ago. I would take a break on the back road, basically a field. I would do paperwork, maybe have a snack, look at the sky. It was here that I often saw “lights”.

One night, I noticed off in the distance, several lights moving around close to the ground. As I focused on them, I realized there were several white lights- six or seven- moving around in a very strange fashion. It was kind of like when you see insects hovering over something. They floated around back and forth, up and down, to and fro, as if hovering over something, wanting to land- but overridden with nervous caution.

It is hard to say how far away they were from me- at least a couple of miles. But as I sat there completely perplexed at what this could possibly be, a feeling of dread came over me. I became very concerned that they would notice me. I wanted to drive away, or at least turn off my headlights- but was terrified to do so- lest they notice.

As I sat and watched, a couple of them may have landed- I don’t know they disappeared below the distant tree line- but the rest, over the course of the next several minutes- simply disappeared. The light dimmed, kind of like they had ‘turned away’, before simply going out.

Once they were all gone, I took off and kept looking back, making sure some UFO dragonfly wasn’t coming after me.

I think there are a lot of experimental aircraft we don’t know anything about. There is an Air Force Base about an hour away. And Johnson Space Center. That would certainly be a rational possibility.

One of the hallmarks of our post-modern technocratic world, is the acceptance of aliens, UFO’s, and all sorts of quantum multi-dimensional wormhole vortex Stargates. Intergalactic planetary.

Hollywood, scientists, and scholars and experts of every sort have theories, explanations, and knowledge about the UFO’s. There is a reason for this:

Think Ancient Aliens or Chariots of the Gods. It is part of the coming deception.

Ronald Reagan once famously stated that if there was ever an alien invasion, all the countries of the world would forget their differences and would unite together to fight this common extra-terrestrial threat. It is like that, but instead of an alien threat, it will be our ET savior.

As society deteriorates, civil unrest and international conflicts will proliferate. Natural disasters, weather extremes, and environmental problems. Financial collapse and corruption will all increase until things begin to look worse than anyone can remember. Just when despair sets in- why, what’s that up in the sky?

It’s a bird- it’s a plane- it’s…its a spaceship!

And then, out steps a wonderful ‘alien’ who says “I am god. I am here to save you all”.

Will you believe? Don’t do it. It is the great deception. Many will be fooled. Even the very elect will be deceived, if it is possible. When the Lord comes, he will come in the clouds with his angels.

Watch and pray. The little green men- they not your friend.

and this week from the youtubes:

 

(Donald) John the Revealator

Cyrus, Hitler, Reagan, Kennedy, and Captain Quint are among the historical figures that President Trump has been likened to.

The Cyrus proponents liken him to the Persian king who timely saved the Israelites from disaster. His conservative political policies bring the Reagan comparisons. The Hitler linkage is now a standardized political accusation both sides employ.

My favorite was the Captain Quint, the salty rascal from Jaws that you want on your side when Great Whites are near. Mike Huckabee came up with this one.

There is a famous character from an old movie that is a better representation: Toto.

Not because he is a lap dog or a little yapper. No. Because he pulled back the curtain and revealed that there is a wizard pulling the levers. A wizard who demands we pay no attention to what we see.

We sure as hell ain’t in Kansas anymore.

And there’s no place like home- because it is gone.

I personally figured out the game a few years ago. The Democrats and the Republicans are not competing ideologies. They are the starters and the 2nd string on the same team. Sometimes most of your starters are Dems, sometimes the Repubs win the starting job.

The election of (Donald) John the Revealator should make that clear to anyone who still has doubts.

I heard an interview with former Congressman Henry Hyde once and he was discussing the corruption in the United Nations. The interviewer asked him what could be done. After thinking about it, he admitted he didn’t think anything could be done, because the corruption “is so diffuse”.

If nothing else, Trump’s presidency has revealed that the corruption in our government is completely diffuse. In other words,  the barrel of apples is so completely rotten, there is nothing left to salvage.

Think of the information the candidacy and presidency of the Revealator has been the catalyst for. Whistleblowers, investigators, leakers, and Deep State operatives have revealed that the government is populated with liars, pedophiles, schemers, murderers, cheaters, false witnesses, traitors, Satanists, hypocrites, thieves, and mockers.

What has been revealed about the American people? As long as the politician in question has the right letter behind their name- who cares?

Our government is over throwing and destabilizing- by policy- the countries of the Middle East to create refugee crises and to install despot radicals that can be controlled. Traitors in our government and corporations have sold us out to China. The Media and the entertainment industry are in collusion with the government to spread globalist propaganda. There is a policy to incite civil unrest to justify global intervention. The government is a criminal cabal. None of this is speculation or theory- it is in the government’s own documents that have been revealed.

The descendants of people that rebelled against an increase on tea taxes- ignore it, refuse to believe it, think it doesn’t matter. We have more important things apparently. There is a big game today. My show about incest and dragons is beginning a new season. My world that I gaze upon in my hand, needs my undivided attention.

When the Revealator comes, that isn’t the end. It is the explanation and justification of the end. Then, the deeds that have been revealed, are ended.

Revealator’s come in many forms. The Lord sent two angels to Sodom. Abraham saw them and prepared a feast. Lot saw them and took them to his house. The men of Sodom saw them and revealed their true character- wicked men with hatred for God. And then- poof!

Many times the Revealator is also a prophet- like Jeremiah and Isaiah. The people told Isaiah that they didn’t want to hear it. If he didn’t have positive and happy things to say- he should keep it to himself. They told Jeremiah the same thing. And then- poof! After they were scattered, the people blamed Jeremiah for what happened- they shot the messenger. They revealed themselves to be rebellious haters of the Truth.

The Revealator can be anyone God chooses to use. I don’t put Donald Trump on a pedestal- he is not a prophet or man of God. My opinion is he is a rich man with a yuge ego who reached that point in life where he realized he could and should have done more with the life he was given- to help others. Some people volunteer at the food pantry or drive the church bus- Donald decided to ‘save the country’. But, for whatever reason, his election has caused a disturbance in the force that is extraordinary.

It has been quite a thing to behold. Hordes of spiritual cockroaches and practitioners of every sort of deviant power structures have flapped out of the caves and dungeons like kamikaze vampires driven into the light to reveal themselves. And to those that see what has been revealed- who have an obligation to act on these revelations- don’t want to hear it.

And then- poof?

 

“I will go”

There are many stories of faith in the Bible, but few match the trust in God displayed by a young lady who decided to leave her family and home with a complete stranger for a new life and new husband she knew absolutely nothing about.

One of the most well-known tales from the Bible is the test of Abraham’s faith with the command to sacrifice his son Isaac. It is a difficult test to consider, it seems cruel and unreasonable.

Abraham- like Job and Noah- is on another level. He is a friend to God. He talks with God, has been trusted with extraordinary knowledge, and has been called to an extraordinary role. The father of many nations, the patriarch of the Lord’s people. In proving his friend, the Lord required extraordinary faith from someone who trusted God completely.

Abraham- like Job- could be trusted by God to demonstrate to all men (and the devils) how to trust completely in the Lord. An example of what is meant by true faith in God.

A faith that was quietly and simply displayed by a young lady named Rebekah.

Sarah had already passed away, and Abraham knew he wouldn’t be around forever. He didn’t want Isaac to marry one of the local heathen women, so he sent his most trusted, competent head servant back to the old country to find Isaac a wife from his people.

The man traveled to the old country and sat down near a well:

Genesis 24: 12-14   ¹² And he said O Lord God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.  ¹³ Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:  ¹⁴ And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.

Before he had even finished his prayer, a young lady named Rebekah had arrived at the well. After she filled her pitcher, Abraham’s servant asked for a drink. She told him no problem, and she would get water for his camels as well.

Rebekah reveals she is of Abraham’s kin folk, and they would be able to lodge the travelers for the night. When the man arrives at the home and sits down for supper, he tells them his story, being sent by Abraham, culminating in the incident at the well. After the story, Rebekah’s people agree- this thing is from the Lord.

From the servants point of view, he was led straight to is master’s people, was given a sign at the well, and met the young lady he was sent for. It was a miracle.

From Rebekah’s and her families point of view- a strange man has shown up claiming God has sent him to take Rebekah back to his master’s son. Any adult reading this can certainly imagine what some concerns with this story might be.

They couldn’t call Abraham or send him a text to confirm this story. Rebekah couldn’t look up Isaac’s profile on Facebook to see what sort of person this was. It was time to lean on faith, to trust in God.

⁵⁸ And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.

I will go. A simple statement with a powerful meaning. I trust the Lord.

Would you go? Would you have allowed your daughter to go? Sometimes letting go and trusting God isn’t easy. But if it is something you practice daily, learning to lean on the Lord, learning to trust in the Spirit- you will be ready to answer when he calls.

⁶⁴ And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel. ⁶⁵ For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.  ⁶⁶ And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done. ⁶⁷ And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.

artificial art: the algo’s touch

Christie’s Auctions of New York is hosting an auction of a collection of works created by artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms.

The collection carries the odd name of “Obvious” Obvious Art: AI Creative Algorithms

I came across this art on an article on the Daily Bell:

https://www.thedailybell.com/all-articles/news-analysis/the-terrifying-paintings-by-artificiai-intelligence/

The author of the article, Peter de Boer, is no fan of this art calling it “terrifying” and “soulless”

I have to agree with him. It’s in the eyes. The yes are the windows to the soul, and this AI just couldn’t come close with the eyes.

“And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee. ” – Nietzsche

If it is on auction at Christie’s- there is an upscale market for this “art”.

I once saw in a textbook paintings done by schizophrenia patients. Even though some of it was very disturbing, somehow it had more soul than this “art”. It made a connection.

FYI- the auction is this October.

which is it?

Cognitive dissonance is the mental conflict that occurs when beliefs or assumptions are contradicted by new information.

Or disinformation.

What about when the information is conflicting? Then, inevitably, our beliefs and assumptions will be conflicted and contradicted. Seeds of mental chaos.

We are being scatter-bombed with cognitive dissonance. The effect, looking outward, is social dissonance. Long-held societal beliefs and assumptions are being contradicted by new information. And disinformation. It is causing conflict. And social chaos.

Religion of peaceophobe

Islam and it’s practitioners view women as second class people. They are prohibited from driving, going into public unchaperoned, and in many Muslim cultures are subject to the practice of female genital mutilation. Homosexuals are executed in Muslim countries, usually by throwing from a roof.  Nearly all of the terrorist attacks in the US are carried out by militant Muslims. The religion of Islam considers all non-Muslims to be infidels- which  allows for legal and sanctioned enslaving, raping, and killing of same. Lying to infidels- taqqiya- is encouraged to gain an advantage, a majority believe jihad and terrorism is justified, and killing an infidel is a ticket to paradise.

But… If you say anything other than “Islam is religion of peace”, you are an Islamophobe. If you criticize the religion, you are a bigot. If you believe we should restrict immigration from problematic Islamic countries, you are a bigoted Islamophobe racist.

It takes a village

“We have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families.”- Melissa Harris-Perry, MSNBC. This is a re-statement of Hillary Clinton’s book It Takes a Village. Both are an argument for social collectivism. It is a basic tenant of socialism/communism, that argues social inequalities handicap many children, and unfairly privileges others. The destruction of the core nuclear family is the real objective.

But… If you are the child of an illegal alien at the US border, then by all that’s holy, the village has no right whatsoever to infringe upon your parental rights, and cannot under any circumstances separate these children from the parents they belong to. It doesn’t even matter if they are really your kid or not.

The hand that robs the cradle

Abortion is a legal medical procedure whereby a pregnancy is terminated by destroying and removing the fetus. The developing embryo is a fetus- not legally, ethically, or medically to be connected to a stage of human development- thus absolving those involved in the practice of any legal or moral jeopardy. It is a woman’s right to choose.

But… If you commit a crime against the pregnant mother or commit a crime and cause the involuntary termination of the pregnancy, you can be charged with murder for the death of the unborn child.  ?

Anti Logic

Antifaschistiche Aktion- “Antifa”.

Despite whatever ideology these anarchists claim to defend, Antifa’s actions ironically reveal nothing more than a group of violent, fascist, Nazi imitators.

Get a better paying gender

There are no biological genders. Gender is a construct, and is a product of cognition and social behaviors rather than biology. The current male/female paradigm is repressive, as there are now in excess of 30 recognized/suggested categories of gender. Some propose the elimination of the term altogether.

But… We are told that one of the great sins of our time, one of the main deficiencies in our society, crippling us on every level- is the gender pay gap.

Between which genders?

which is it?

 

back to the future: retro-causality

Retro-causality is the notion that current events are influenced by future events.

Conventional wisdom would argue that we are the products of our past, that our history is the best predictor of our future. We learn from the past, the future is uncertain. Or is it?

Our concept of time is linear. That is, everything we are aware of, even the cosmos themselves, have a beginning- and an end. It is beyond the abilities of our consciousness to comprehend eternity- no beginning, no end.

Always has been, always will be. A world without end. Try to picture it, grasp it.

Forever is a long time.

The best argument against time travel is, if it were possible, a traveler from the future would have dropped in on us by now. And then you can get all flummoxed considering that time travel may be possible in the future, but not yet. But, if it is possible in the future, wouldn’t future time travelers have appeared in their past- our future- by now?

It’s a trip.

Time is a measure of duration. Our time is based upon the rotation and revolution of the Earth. The communication satellites that orbit the Earth have to be adjusted because time is different in space where they are.  It is further different the further away you get. Time is way different on a light beam or in a black hole. Time is not a steady constant force- it is a function of the dimension.

Remember when time stood still for Joshua? ( Joshua 10: 13-  And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.)

Can future events affect the present? Think of it this way: Do you plan for the past or the future? Are your goals and dreams geared towards a better future or past? The future is coming, the past is gone.

How can the future- things that haven’t happened yet- affect the past and present? We have all heard tales of how someone got a feeling, a premonition, to alter their course in some kind of way. Cancel the flight. Take the next bus. Don’t move to Albuquerque. How are these messages to us from the future explained? ESP, coincidence, the zeitgeist, spiritual consciousness, cosmic awareness, and many other explanations have emerged.

We have symbols for eternity, infinity that are representative of an existence without beginning or end.

 

Regardless the shape of the endless loop, that is the best way to conceptualize time. Everything that has ever happened, and will ever happen, is at a point along the round. We are on that circle at a specific point. Time doesn’t loop around and turn back where things happen over and over again- we don’t move along the loop (yet)- we occupy a point along the loop. That is what we see.

 

Inevitably, when considering such concepts, thoughts turn to the one thing that we know is eternal- God. The Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. He can see everything on the loop, all at once. We will be able to see everything too someday- if that is what we want.

Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah, and John- among others- were shown the future. The end of the old earth- something that has not yet come to pass. But, it’s on the loop- it will happen.

Just as Daniel and the others saw the future- we can too. If you seek God, it is possible to see these things through the Spirit. Dreams, visions, premonitions from the future can warn, guide, and comfort you.

Proverbs 22:3- A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.

To infinity and beyond.
