00:03:00.000hello and welcome to this week's edition of victory never sleeps tonight we are joined by
00:03:13.680my friend specklinger daniel young to talk to us about right action a path to piety um
00:03:23.680Top of the show stuff. Thank you to everybody at New York's Hoff who made Disa thing an amazing
00:03:31.600event. I was very fortunate to get to go and visit that Hoff and see those folks again.
00:03:37.840It was a wonderful weekend. I appreciate you guys. Thanks for everybody who came out that
00:03:42.560I got to meet and share that weekend with. Absolutely fantastic. Next up, we have Austra
00:03:52.880at Thorshoff. Thorshoff is in Linden, North Carolina, and that's going to be March 20th
00:03:59.380through the 22nd. If you can make it there, you absolutely should. That is that district's
00:04:05.540largest event of the year. Amazing people are going to be there. I'm excited to bring my family
00:04:11.920over for it. So I would love to meet you guys there if I haven't yet, or see you again if it's
00:04:16.920been a minute. So yeah, make the effort if you can. It's going to be an amazing event and it's
00:04:23.580going to be real special for you guys. Hope you all can show up. Other stuff on the top of the
00:04:31.140program. Weekly update on Frazehoff and Frazehoff pay down. We are doing really well. You guys
00:04:41.440continue to be amazingly generous. We've had a few donations come in in the last
00:04:48.320hour or so. So this is not entirely accurate, but we're sitting somewhere around
00:04:54.10035.6% paid off. That comes out to about $109 per member. $109 per member would pay it off today.
00:05:08.260You guys have been extremely generous and continue to be. Thank you guys for that.
00:05:13.680Speaking of generosity, as he so often does, so regularly does, GW Farnsworth started off program with $30 towards the heat situation of Thorsthoff and $30 towards our latest folk services effort for one of our members.
00:05:32.520So thank you for that. We appreciate you.
00:05:34.540Also, Sarah donated $25 to our Folk Services helping out a member.
00:06:17.920um other stuff we have somebody that started off with a provocative question tonight and i suppose
00:06:29.600we get to that before we get to the meat just because it's there and we'll leave it hanging
00:06:33.840i'd like to really i'd i would really like to hear some sort of a response to the accusations
00:06:40.080that new york's off was partially paid with a sum of money from convicted child predator
00:06:45.600The exchange of our virtues for money. I have no knowledge of Njortzhoff being paid off by a sum of money donated by any child predator or anybody sketchy that way.
00:07:01.700This is news to me. I wasn't aware that those were accusations, but to my knowledge, there's nothing to that. I've never heard that before until right now.
00:07:10.280daniel are you aware of some sort of child molester paying helping us in a substantial
00:07:20.060way to pay off and your top no it just sounds like troll stuff as per usual i think see that's
00:07:26.700the thing there's a lot of that there's a lot of bad actors but i think you know i never know if
00:07:31.060the people who come here and ask those kind of things if they're well i'm if they're well
00:07:36.540intention then they just genuinely don't know better and it's a fair question to ask but i
00:07:40.860don't think the question was a troll move but i think wherever he's getting his information from
00:07:45.100possibly that that would be yeah i think most certainly um some confusion there um but yeah so
00:07:56.780this was your idea to come on today and talk about this our uh our law speaker was
00:08:05.180taking the night off and you had an idea for a show so i'm gonna let you run with it and
00:08:12.620tell us about right action and how it's a path to piety
00:08:17.260well first um i appreciate the law speaker having the night off and uh making some room for me to
00:08:22.940come in and uh use this platform to try to hammer out some concepts that seem to be extremely grand
00:08:32.220But as is my my way, I like to try to reduce them down to a fairly simple form.
00:08:41.060So first, before we get into the meat and taters of that particular topic, you know, we've often referred to this concept.
00:08:48.840And the phrase was coined by our founder, Stephen McNallan, and he refers to this as the soul sickness.
00:08:55.620So how do we how do we determine what that is?
00:08:58.280I think that we can take a look at what's going on in the modern world, specifically in the West, and kind of see these things playing out.
00:09:05.540And I think before we talk about what the cure is, we have to be honest about what the sickness is.
00:09:10.760And I don't mean it metaphorically, but it's something that we can see.
00:09:14.780We see it in addiction, an appetite with no order, men and women who are ruled by impulses, no longer in control, alcohol, drugs, pornography.
00:09:28.280rage even sometimes even attention that's disorder we see this play out like in broken families
00:09:38.040all right loyalty is treated as uh something that's temporary and something that is disposable
00:09:43.320uh vows are treated as flexible children grow up without stability
00:09:48.360because adults lack discipline and we see that broken families this is a misalignment
00:09:53.160also uh the most tragic of all these uh examples of the soul sickness we see this in suicides
00:10:02.960uh this is these are souls that have lost their orientation have no sense of purpose or place
00:10:09.160or no connection to something higher and have no feeling of standing in a line with
00:10:15.520folks in front of them the folks behind them the folks in front being descendants the folks behind
00:10:20.440being our ancestors when moon collapses the soul collapses with it and we just
00:10:31.720see it we see it in something even quieter and something less I guess
00:10:37.320shocking but it's you know casual betrayal it's the toleration of gossip
00:10:42.580oaths that get broken without shame all of these have the same root and that
00:10:50.200root is disorder appetite without discipline pride with no humility and freedom without
00:10:57.560responsibility the sickness of the soul is living with no alignment
00:11:03.320and if disorder is the sickness then piety correctly understood is the restoration of that
00:11:12.760order not emotion not aesthetics it's not a facebook post is complete alignment one of the
00:11:23.260more trendy words that we'll hear from either you know fitless fitness influencers or quote-unquote
00:11:28.900life coaches the word that they like to lean on that i'm going to use and i try not to use it
00:12:15.760and in reverence with our gods, the I-seer.
00:12:19.440First and foremost, let me pause and go back a little bit.
00:12:24.480Everything is downstream from identity.
00:12:29.140Spirituality and religion comes immediately after identity.0.95
00:12:32.420Because if we, you know, see the world through a folkish lens without having that ethnic identity and knowing it, then it's hard to get aligned with what your spirituality and religion should be.0.90
00:12:43.780Now, we as white folks, as Caucasians, as Aryans, we are in truth to the Aesir.0.62
00:12:51.940This is the first of the steps towards that cure.
00:12:55.300and how we approach how we see them and how we speak of them
00:13:02.500is a reflection of that alignment and a reflection of piety
00:13:06.400and what is piety it's a it's a it's a word that you might hear fairly often here on
00:13:14.720victory never sleeps you might hear it at your hoffs you might hear it
00:13:18.080at you know your pub moots but we want to clearly define that it's when your faith
00:13:24.120is so obvious that it's plain to see and it's seen through your deeds and not just through
00:13:29.800your words it's not seen through your facebook post your instagram stories it's seen through
00:13:36.040your actions and those actions have to reflect that reverence to the icer to the icer to the
00:14:09.500This is a symbol of ordered alignment, right?
00:14:12.020father mcnalen when he when he wrote his book also true a native european spirituality
00:14:18.560it became something of a catchphrase but it was prominently printed on the back of that book and
00:14:25.100talked about within that book about how australia is about connections connections with the divine
00:14:30.240connections with our ancestors connections with those who come after us and connections to each
00:14:34.860other i'm not going to say that because we don't believe in equality there's not an equal connection
00:14:41.580but all of them have an extreme importance our obvious you know obvious the connection to our
00:14:48.640gods is important honoring our ancestors by living in a way that they were recognized as
00:14:54.500courageous and honorable is important but just as important is that frith that binds us that
00:15:00.780that links us together now frith isn't just simply like you know peace with no cost like
00:15:07.300I'm just going to keep the peace and say nothing. It's something totally different than that.
00:15:12.040And this is one of those examples of what right action is. So if, you know, my brother, you know, brother in the faith, my brother in the clergy, my it could be the altar you're going through.
00:15:25.380Because of the frith between us and is my duty to protect their reputation.
00:15:30.560I'm going to use Matt as an example. It's my duty to protect Matt's reputation, especially in his absence.
00:15:37.300if someone were to sit at my table and you know begin gossiping and you know just saying these
00:15:43.760outlandish things but true or not true doesn't matter but the gossiping thing that's that is
00:15:47.720the first drop of like social poison that can get these things spiraling out of control and
00:15:54.180my duty our duty is to squash that immediately
00:15:58.180we give someone correction whenever they start this gossiping stuff or and again this is just
00:16:04.980simple example but you know i try to think of things in the most simple form right so we don't
00:16:10.260we don't eliminate that and it becomes this infection it becomes something greater than
00:16:15.460you know just someone whispering and idle chatter we correct that person immediately
00:16:24.260and that's not done just out of my thrift to matt that's out of the thrift between me and the
00:16:28.100person that is speaking now i owe them a certain level of accountability
00:16:34.260so i correct them and if they persist and they correct it again
00:16:37.220if they refuse the correction they need to get up from my table
00:16:44.260now piety doesn't necessarily change how you behave it's an example of how you behave
00:16:50.900you know we correct gossip instead of just enjoying it we speak truth without being cruel to one
00:16:54.980another. We train our bodies and keep our word. We show up prepared. And I can give you an example
00:17:04.440of that as well. You know, I, as a clergy member, if I, if I were to show up at my Hoff and I'm
00:17:12.300wearing, you know, ratty old work clothes, I'm a mechanic by trade. So if I'm coming to work,
00:17:17.080you know, all oiled up and filthy looking and all that stuff, and I get myself cleaned up and
00:17:22.100throw on my suit, and now I've stepped in, you know, I'm in priest mode, I have to show
00:17:29.040up prepared, and that same principle applies, and we show up in a devoted worship, we show
00:17:39.760up unified by devoted worship to our high seer, we show up ready for that immediately,
00:17:46.100not like we switch from one mode to the next, because all these things, again, to use that
00:24:00.380So every day we rise with intention. This can be simple. This can be rising every day and going through your normal hygiene stuff, going to your altar and saying your prayers, beginning the day with movement, whether that's doing some calisthenics or going for a brisk walk around the block, using clean speech.
00:24:24.080um and look i'm super guilty about you know using profanity um at the wrong times because i don't
00:24:35.280think there's really ever really a right time to do that because we have to present ourselves in
00:24:39.320a way that reflects the dignity that's expected of not only of uh not just clergy or folk builders
00:31:59.220And I'm willing to open the floor up to questions and maybe some conversation with Mr. Flayville.
00:32:06.020All right. Well, let's get to some of the questions we've gotten. Before we get to that, Gilbert donated $150 towards Folk Services. Thank you for that, Gilbert. And also $150 towards the heat at Thorshoff.
00:32:25.820Rachel donated $40 to Folk Services. Thank you, Rachel. And Stephen donated $10 to Folk Services. Thank you. We appreciate that.
00:32:36.020We got a continuation of the earlier topic on a couple of questions, and we need to get it out of the way so we can move on to other things.
00:32:51.660So I want to assure people we'll answer any questions that we get, but also not going to derail the whole show and stop people mid-presentation to answer demanding questions.
00:33:06.020So I finally see what they're talking about, about the New York's off thing.
00:33:12.120Let me see where they're they're putting it here.
00:33:14.180I think they've conflated things or there was some confusion.
00:33:17.140So you both are saying that Jason from No White Guilt didn't send you a guy with a degenerate background that later applied to the AFA.
00:33:26.240And now you're paying him back with interest.
00:33:30.440There's a number of things that are kind of mixed up there, but no, that's not what we're saying.
00:33:34.040What was asked was, did a child predator substantially help us pay off New York's off?
00:33:41.340That's not true. And I'd never heard that. No. Turns out the guy that was sent to us well after we made the deal with him to borrow the money for New York's off.
00:33:52.080Turns out that guy's a homosexual. Later, he did apply for membership in the AFA and we rejected his membership because him being a homosexual makes him not eligible to be a member.0.77
00:34:02.680that absolutely happened and nobody's denying that was followed up by is it pious to lie about0.58
00:34:09.360where the money from yortsov came from nobody's ever lied about that not at all this is the first
00:34:15.360time that you asked and i gave you an answer um we're not still paying him off though that
00:34:22.840yortsov has been paid off for quite some time um yes there was interest because it was a
00:34:27.480a commercial loan um or i don't know if commercial loans the right word for it it was a commercial
00:34:33.920transaction through loan i think it may again i'm not sure i think there's a legal thing with
00:34:39.560what a commercial loan is or isn't but uh yeah this person loaned us money um the variety of
00:34:47.260people at the bank that would loan us money that are any number of things but yeah the guy that0.83
00:34:54.000was sent to us turns out that guy was in fact homosexual. And when he applied, we said,0.70
00:35:01.160no, you cannot join because you're homosexual. And that was not pleasing to him. And I doubt0.95
00:35:06.340he would lend us money in the future because of that circumstance. The other question was
00:35:13.440to follow up the first one, what would you do if you found out that it was factually correct that
00:35:19.200the money was given from a convicted sex offender, how would that be handled? And I want to be
00:35:25.600completely honest. Yes, I realize that the answer that a particular crowd would like would be,
00:35:31.780ah, we'd just give it all back. But realistically, probably wouldn't do that. Probably wouldn't go
00:35:36.280back in and take out a loan or whatever to pay back a substantial portion of money that was
00:35:43.140already paid to purchase a Hoff for us. No, we would never knowingly let those people
00:35:51.840be involved with us. And we certainly wouldn't seek out a business arrangement with those
00:35:55.860people. We have no idea the background of many of our donors. That's not really what
00:36:00.300we check for donation. We accept their donation and say thank you and buy Hoffs and pay off
00:36:06.720offs. That's a big hypothetical, but no, we don't start looking for where donated money
00:36:13.980comes on that. That wouldn't be a responsible thing to do in my opinion. We have some other
00:36:24.280questions unrelated though. I was reading from Caleb. I was reading the book, The Serpent
00:36:35.820and the eagle and i saw there's a reference to christians wanting the end of the world while
00:36:41.900european folk religion seeks to postpone it do you think this is correct do you think this applies
00:36:47.580at all to the accelerationism or to accelerationism and if so how daniel what are your thoughts on that
00:36:55.660well i i think so i think there's some merit to that and by the way that's a great book um
00:37:00.780i highly recommend it but i think there's some merit there i don't know about accelerating
00:37:06.140toward you know the cataclysmic end of all things that we understand and know but i do think there's
00:37:12.700like a a certain amount of you know it doesn't matter what happens in this life anyway so you
00:37:18.220know my reward is in heaven whereas you know european religiosity is always trying to stave
00:37:27.020off the wolf trying to stave off that that which consumes everything i think there's a clear
00:37:33.420distinction to be made there and i know it wasn't part of the question but i think that this uh this
00:37:40.700very concept this very thought uh the universal abrahamic religion that that has swept the globe
00:37:48.540over the last 1500 or more years is part of the root cause of our soul sickness
00:37:57.020yeah i think it's um real fundamental and something that our founder steve mcdallin
00:38:07.180uh talked about was how abrahamic faiths and honestly with it um a number of eastern faiths
00:38:15.740uh like hinduism okay in my understanding of a lot of forms of hinduism and buddhism and
00:38:22.220in my understanding are world rejecting uh and also true is world
00:38:31.580life rejecting and life embracing i think or world embracing we're about making the best
00:38:39.820of the life that we have and using the life in the world the life we have in the world that surrounds
00:38:45.180us um as a as a medium to to live our values to accomplish to succeed to build reputation to
00:38:59.740to do things so we're not trying to escape some horrible existence for something better
00:39:06.220we're trying to make the best out of what we have in this life and
00:39:13.480I think it expresses itself differently in the other faiths, but the idea that life is bad, the world is bad, and we need to just endure this horrible slog to get something better, I do think that idea played out in a lot of ways.
00:39:39.660i think it gives root to accelerationism i think we hear we hear accelerationism in terms of
00:39:45.740politics a lot and i think that that does i think it builds on one another um
00:39:55.580like i think in a way there's a number of sects of christianity that practice a
00:40:02.140spiritual accelerationism but not really in that kind of a negative sense but more
00:40:07.340where they have to accomplish certain things before their end times scenario starts to play out.
00:40:16.320Those witnesses, for example, they're really big on the idea that before the new system and before Jesus can come back,
00:40:25.540that the gospel needs to be preached in all the corners of the world.
00:40:28.640So that's a big thing that's behind their extensive preaching mission.
00:40:33.340There's other Christian sects that we've seen throughout time, especially when you get around points, points where they're expecting the end times that came around, you know, the millennium, it came around the, you know, the first millennium.
00:40:50.840It comes around a number of those dates. When that starts to happen, you do have certain people that feel like they need to put things in place to hasten that or to hurry up and facilitate their end time scenario.
00:41:04.260And I think that absolutely plays in. And I think that concept expresses itself politically by some people as well.
00:41:11.360i think further to expand on that is that a lot of the uh concept of you know this life and the
00:41:20.600next when it comes to the uh you know the christian idea is that everything is everything
00:41:28.280that we do now doesn't matter up until the moment of death up until the moment of everything that
00:41:34.140you did up until that moment where your body stops breathing is erased or is it with the
00:41:39.600aryan spirituality and aryan religiosity we're thinking ahead we're thinking about generations
00:41:44.800that follow us and i i think that's a lot of what you see going on in the west is like
00:41:51.440this idea of you know let's just ruin the planet for the sake of profit because
00:41:55.280we're not going to inherit it anyway we're going to heaven and who cares who comes behind us
00:42:03.120that's funny because i see that different now i see a lot of that is people who are genuinely
00:42:08.000atheists and when you find a certain a certain segment of modern nihilistic atheists that don't
00:42:17.360have children and really have no investment in the future yeah they're out to just get whatever they
00:42:22.800can get whoever they hurt be damned um but i think we do see that at different times of not really
00:42:30.560giving a lot of thought about the damage done to the world around them or future generations
00:42:35.360because you know their their salvation is coming and then they don't got to worry about it and i
00:42:43.120noticed again not in a sinister way but well in the time that i was with jehovah's witnesses that
00:42:49.600was a thing like they fully expected they have a thing where their end time scenario started
00:42:58.640at least this was what they were preaching in the 90s that it started in 1914 and that some
00:43:05.120segment of people who were alive then would be alive for you know for the second coming basically
00:43:12.240and so i can remember in like 99 2000 they were having people take out loans they couldn't pay
00:43:18.560back and make real irresponsible decisions because hey they're not gonna have to pay
00:43:23.520back because jesus is coming like next week so you know and and that was you know i think
00:43:31.920with with the distance of time we can see how that was real erroneous um
00:43:41.440nick in washington donated fifty dollars towards the heat at thorsoff thank you nick
00:43:46.080much appreciated appreciate that guys thank you you guys have been particularly generous
00:43:51.040on the thorsoff uh heating situation um that's much appreciated and uh gonna go a long way so
00:44:23.520But I think the people that are stirring the misinformation or the partial information plot on that, sure, they would ask us to do any of those things as long as it could potentially embarrass or damage us, because I think that's really kind of the goal.
00:44:39.900But no, nobody needs to go through some kind of a vetting process to donate money.
00:48:02.900so that's how we can kind of tie in with our our gods being specifically odin and his brothers
00:48:12.220being our most ancient ancestors and there's there's examples of this that play out play
00:48:16.120throughout play out throughout uh etic lore and we see that in the lay of rig when again
00:48:25.040there's metaphors here somewhat allegories where you know it's great grandmother and
00:48:32.100great-grandfather and i don't see that as two couples i see that as a generation you know they
00:48:36.980they were didn't have a lot of bread they didn't have much more than just some warm soup to offer
00:48:43.640rig heimdall in his human form but what happened was they invited them into their home they invited
00:48:51.060the divine into their home and then the next generation was a little bit further along
00:48:55.980became, you know, much more like the warrior class of our folk.
00:49:01.840And then that class invited the Aesir, the divine, into their home.
00:49:07.380And then there was this steady march toward nobility.
00:49:15.140So anyway, to answer your question in its simplest forms,
00:49:19.060I think everything begins with ancestor worship.
00:49:22.040And then that which seemingly is abstract starts to become less and less abstract.
00:49:38.660Sorry about that. I was muted there. Yeah, I think there's a variety of right answers to that question, depending on the person.
00:49:44.820And I think Daniel hit on most of them, but his first point, and I think this is true, especially for somebody starting from atheism or from kind of a clean slate but skeptical.
00:50:14.820is just what he said ancestor veneration your ancestors are real you knew them probably some
00:50:24.520of them that you are would be venerating you know factually the other ones of them existed at one
00:50:30.800time that positions you a little bit better and a little bit closer to build that relationship
00:50:36.860and to work on that slowly over time as far as piety and relationship with the gods though
00:50:43.980So the biggest, this isn't so much a roadmap as kind of a prerequisites to have in mind to facilitate meaningful experience that way.
00:51:03.200I think that when you, first, you're not going to fool the gods by pretending that you are more pious than you are, or by claiming a greater level of belief than you have.
00:51:19.460But I think there's a value in approaching your altar or bloat with others or whatever you're doing, understanding that you're skeptical and you haven't developed the piety yet, but knowing and genuinely meaning that you honestly want to.
00:51:37.100one of the, you know, opening things I'd suggest someone does at their altar is just going there
00:51:45.140with an open heart, an open mind and making an offering and saying that, you know, Hey,
00:51:53.100I'm here. I don't, I don't know if you exist or not. I don't know if you hear me, but I hope that
00:52:00.340you do. And if you do hear and I'm listening and I'm open, I think a long, lots done by being
00:52:08.400open-handed that way and open-hearted and just seeing. But if you're so skeptical when you go
00:52:15.480in and you don't consciously suspend your skepticism, you make it much, much harder for
00:52:22.160subtle influences to take hold and for you to really get a meaningful experience. And I think
00:52:30.040also going in without, part of that openness is not having particular expectation. If you go in
00:52:37.140demanding, I'm going to make this offering, I'm going to offer up some mead, and then the heavens
00:52:41.120are going to open, and the gods are going to speak to me, and that's a big ask, and that's
00:52:46.960probably not going to be what happens. So I think going in there without expectation, but just with
00:52:53.900openness and being hopeful that goes a long way but also something that we've talked about tonight
00:53:01.280quite a bit is building the habit of it like anything else if it's not something that comes
00:53:08.960natural to you and you're naturally acquainted with it's something that you need to make a point
00:53:13.260of doing you make a pattern and habit of doing going before your altar saying a prayer making
00:53:21.900an offering do that and give it some time give it an honest shot to uh see what happens and i like
00:53:30.860i said i think one of the the freeing things for a lot of people is you don't have to be dishonest
00:53:35.580you don't have to you don't your opening your opening offering isn't complete and total devotion
00:53:43.180and belief in these gods no you can start from where you are you can admit that you're skeptical
00:53:51.900and you can work from there in an honest way.
00:53:55.180And I think that's the best way to go.
00:53:57.680I think, too, acknowledging our place in the structure of things.
00:54:04.360If you hadn't already taken that step,
00:54:07.180at least you wouldn't even be open to the idea of worship,
00:56:32.240what are your thoughts on his go free methods and his use of the terms
00:56:37.960anti-white and anti-white-ism as a way to combat the injustices happening to our race.
00:56:45.660Daniel, what are your thoughts on the no-white guilt concept and language?
00:56:53.880I don't have any thoughts, really. I don't follow Jason's stuff. I'm aware of it.
00:57:01.880But I think that there's certainly some merit in using terminology like anti-white.0.99
00:57:07.960And let's call things what they are. Again, you know, this truth is one of our virtues.0.96
00:57:14.180You know, we're talking about virtues that we live our lives by.
00:57:16.360But I think seeing treachery and calling it out and calling it for what it is, is, you know, another example of, you know, right action.1.00
00:57:25.320I think that's something that should be expected of anybody who's Caucasian and is traditionally minded.
00:57:31.740You know, we see the we see the world. We see what's going on.
00:57:35.040And no one on this program is going to tell you to just totally turn a blind eye to it.
00:57:39.800We got here because of a severance, you know, a severing of that invisible tissue between us and our gods and goddesses.
00:57:51.480We got here because we accepted universalist poison millennia ago.
00:57:59.060And that's that's permeated throughout the West.
00:58:01.460And so what we've been seeing in the world playing out the way it is, whether it's, you know, random people getting killed on train cars and stuff like that, all that is a result because of this idea that we can all live as one, that we accept this doctrine of equality or we accept this doctrine of your race doesn't even matter.
00:58:24.920And I was pointing out earlier about the, you know, the idea of Christianity, you know, being like, you know, a form of universalism that has permeated and affected the soul of, I would say, every man and woman on the earth, you know, not just our own people.
00:58:42.700but uh it's played out a lot in our in our own uh in our own bloodlines uh i think it was in the
00:58:49.500book of galatians where christ is i'm sorry not christ but i believe it was uh either peter or
00:58:55.020paul so there'll come a point where it won't matter if you're if you're jew or if you're
00:59:01.260a gentile that you'll all be you know united as you know a child of god or a child of christ
00:59:07.260think about the language behind that that's literally the erasure of culture the erasure
00:59:16.200of ethnic identity and it's being encouraged in our holy book um so i i again i think using those
00:59:23.640words like anti-white and and calling that out when you see it i think is expected of uh our folk0.95
00:59:31.860um yeah uh so i'm not really up on his latest stuff i think the
00:59:43.260there are things about the no white guilt go free deal that i that i like and i think that um
00:59:54.240being being very intentional about the words we use is also really important so i think that's
01:00:05.400i think that's good insofar as he's trying to reframe the argument by not buying into their
01:00:14.980words and by utilizing words that he feels are independently
01:00:20.640um like independently meaningful and something that he came up with instead of falling into
01:00:29.520like name calling or what the their preconceptions of words mean i think that's really important and
01:00:36.240something we should all think about more than than i think we do one thing that i i
01:00:44.240I hate to put this on Jason because I have no idea if this is something that's directly
01:00:52.140his doing or just something that I found very, very common with the followers of his that
01:09:32.060Like, there's no answer to that question because with the individual, it would, any specific answer, you know, would vary with the individual.
01:09:40.720But that's one thing that I make a point of whenever I'm giving gloat is I invite the gods, the ancestors, and the Lanveteer to hear us, to know us, to hear our words, and to judge our needs.
01:10:06.400um i don't as i said earlier we're not going to fool the gods um i think that it is
01:10:18.680certainly disrespectful to think that we could but it's of such a scale that it's almost comical
01:10:25.520to think that we can't fool the gods gods know better i think that we are and again the gods
01:10:35.240can judge us however they like by whatever metric they choose to use. But I have to believe that
01:10:44.080it's better to be honest and to actually be the people we say we are than to knowingly
01:10:53.340be dishonest about the people we claim to be and then not have the actions to back up those claims.
01:11:00.140I also think that something we all know is it's way easier to say a thing or claim a hypothetical or to claim to believe something than to act in a way in the real world where there is consequence that demonstrates the seriousness of the thing you say.
01:11:38.620And we're all at various stages in that in that continual process.
01:11:44.240If anyone were to profess to you that they are at the end stages of that process of becoming that, you know, that complete version of themselves, you know, through piety,
01:11:56.680through doing the right thing every single time no matter what if they tell you that they are done
01:12:02.520with that they are lying to you and those are charlatans because that is an ongoing lifelong
01:12:07.720process so you mentioned something earlier and to harken back to it you talked about the people
01:12:16.360that you know chest thump about how they wouldn't kneel before the gods right this is one of those
01:12:23.640things. Yeah, you would. Like if you, if a real, one of our real existent gods manifested before
01:12:36.720you and you were in his presence, you wouldn't take a knee. You think that you would stand
01:12:43.480toe to toe with a God. I don't think you genuinely think that if you actually believe in the gods,
01:12:51.860I think you say that if you're trying to impress your homies at the bar or whatever you're doing, but that doesn't wash out with somebody who genuinely believes in the gods.
01:13:05.980A lot of the flakiness that we so often see, a lot of those people wouldn't act that way if they had a sincere belief in the gods.
01:13:15.900And again, don't pretend that you have belief in the gods if you don't.
01:13:21.860But know where you are, know who you are, know where you're starting from and be honest, be honest with yourself, with those around you and with the gods.
01:13:31.280And if you're honest and you're open and willing to work on yourself, there's room for improvements.
01:13:37.040If you can't be honest with yourself, then you don't have the opportunity to grow and to seize chances for growth because you're busy, you know, trying to live a fantasy.
01:13:52.700So it's real different when actions come into play.
01:13:55.400That's why in Alcetru, it's always been such an important refrain that we are our deeds.
01:14:04.140I think, too, and again, I don't mean to go off on a tangent, Mr. Flavel, but I think there are certain ways that have been commonly, there are certain ways people have commonly viewed our gods, specifically in modern Alcatraz.
01:14:25.000um some as matt you know just said that they you know view it as something abstract something
01:14:33.760that's not real intangible then you have another sect of people that like to view this specifically
01:14:38.000through a historical lens that's still not the same as believing in the existence of real gods
01:14:43.660that if it specifically is if a god is just a uh a character in your in your history
01:14:51.140book that's not really a god that's just a character but i instead of just freezing them
01:14:59.440in a particular time in a specific space and only viewing them through that one lens i think
01:15:07.600is i don't think it's intentional impiety uh but it's still impiety you know our gods are real
01:15:15.240they are living they exist now they're not just locked in a place in the past they're not just
01:15:19.520locked in that book that you read indeed um are there there are any particular rules to how an
01:15:34.160ausitru altar should be set up should the altar be facing a certain direction should there be a main
01:17:01.700i know that traditionally a lot of people will try to orient them to where they're facing north
01:17:10.160um again it depends on why you're doing that i think originally that was done
01:17:20.640to reference that we are we are a northern we are a polar tradition coming out of coming out
01:17:32.620of that coming out of the pole some people orient north as a reference to staying true being
01:17:39.180oriented towards the pole star there are other people that will orient an altar you know if
01:17:46.460If you're specifically erecting an altar for the Austra that's coming up, the goddess of the east, the dawn, maybe you orient it to the east and to the sunrise.
01:17:58.460I know that at funerals often it will be facing the west and the setting sun.0.92
01:18:07.460That's how we orient gravestones in the Astro Folk Assemblies.
01:18:14.140We typically orient those to where when you're facing the stone, you're facing the setting stone.
01:18:20.700The intention behind it, and that was a lot.
01:18:23.880So everybody's altar is pretty unique on the things that they put on it.
01:18:27.300Very often you have statues or idols of the gods.
01:18:33.300Sometimes people have those like little framed pictures.
01:18:37.460Other times are little statues. Candles are often there. A spot to burn incense, something to make, you know, a drink offering to, to pour out mead or a shot or whatever else.
01:18:59.720i think those are also very common to have there um depends whether you have you do your ancestor
01:19:07.720veneration at the same place you venerate the gods if so pictures of your ancestors or
01:19:15.800maybe heirlooms and things that remind you of your ancestors are also good things put there
01:19:21.400there's a whole lot of right ways to do that and that's gonna have to do with you the intention
01:19:26.360of why you're doing the things you're doing and also you know just kind of the setup of
01:19:31.160your house and what the logistics are of the spot that you choose
01:19:37.960ah question i see all these attacks are and you are very transparent in your removal of degenerate
01:19:46.360individuals what was the nature of the reason you removed the person who funded the down payment
01:19:51.320on york's off why was he removed so um just a couple of clarifications he wasn't removed he
01:19:59.000was never a member there was a guy that loaned us the initial money to make the payment on the hof0.52
01:20:06.200and then we repaid that loan but he was denied membership altogether because he was a homosexual0.88
01:20:16.280so it was he still is as far as i know0.61
01:20:18.760I noticed almost all the focus out to organizations and circles seem to hate the AFA and make
01:20:29.600accusations against the AFA. Why do you think that is? Jealousy because the AFA is successful?
01:20:36.940Daniel, go ahead and take a swing at that first.0.70
01:20:39.820yes um i've heard some some ridiculous things in in my time not only as a member in the afa but
01:20:50.600you know my time is leadership like uh matt's a fed why because he's combs his hair and wears a
01:20:57.960tie anything successful has to be something nefarious to some of these some of these people
01:21:03.820this is an example of that that soul sickness that you know success is viewed as something negative
01:21:08.860and it's something to be jealous or envious of.
01:21:32.600there's this um i think we get multiple doses of it i think amongst quote unquote paganism
01:21:44.440there's a big crab in the bucket effect and i think in you know white positive or
01:21:56.200racially aware white people space there's also a tremendous amount of crab in the bucketism
01:22:02.600there is so much failure that people are used to and so much trauma i think that they're used to
01:22:11.160by being let down that anything that succeeds or any amount of success is immediately must be
01:22:19.640nefarious must be you know must be a scam must be something um and i think there is a
01:22:29.960very strong drive by often very damaged people to consistently pull everyone back down to their
01:22:39.880level so that nobody's able to succeed and i do think that's what a lot of it's about one
01:22:45.720of the other things that i think is a big point is in the world of focus house are true
01:22:51.480anything that was originally parallel to the afa in some way like had their own origin their own
01:23:02.040independent existence those things either merged with the afa over time or fell by the wayside
01:23:09.640so in the world of focus house to true now you almost exclusively have people who are you know
01:23:16.440disgruntled former members and they get very upset when they see the afa is continuously successful
01:23:26.040and they're not something else i've noticed is um a lot of those people when they leave or
01:23:34.680they get angry or whatever their deal is they immediately think and again starting the day they
01:23:42.520decide to quit because up till then they'll be big supporters of the afa but once they've decided
01:23:47.960that they need to quit for whatever reason or if they were to get removed which happens so rarely
01:23:56.440all of a sudden they build up a bunch of grievances as to why the afa is doing it wrong
01:24:03.720and how you know they could all do it so much better and we don't really see that play out
01:24:10.920and i think it does i think so i do think there's a lot of jealousy there the other thing that i
01:24:17.720thinks in play is the afa are the ones doing things so they become like a
01:24:27.000like a class of critics to where they're their focus and the easy thing for them to have
01:24:33.640something to discuss is to criticize what the afa is doing as opposed to come up with
01:24:40.680their own projects their own things to do and in doing so i think that they realize there's not a
01:24:48.680lot like we we are in some of the same circles so in order for them to grow if they don't know how
01:24:58.840to get um new people then their only way to grow is if they can break off people from the afa they
01:25:06.920can spook them by you know talking about things that are embarrassing or scary or whatever to
01:25:13.160make them leave the afa and then maybe you know the hope is that they'll join these other smaller
01:25:19.560groups and that's unfortunate because all that holds us back and all that you know chips away
01:25:26.440at momentum towards successful things for our gods and our folk and we can't win if we keep
01:25:32.680breaking ourselves down into smaller and smaller groups i mean we can but it takes a whole lot
01:25:38.200longer and it's a whole lot harder if all the people that were former members were truly honest
01:25:45.960about why they're former members i think a lot of them would come back and i think that
01:25:52.920if that happened and everybody who really should come back to the AFA did think we'd be so much
01:26:02.040stronger and we could do really good things together and I hope that folks that suffer from
01:26:06.100the soul sickness can find that healing and do that it's always it's always really special when
01:26:13.100people come back and they do a lot actually recently so it's a nice thing myself being one
01:26:20.020of them um you know again we were talking earlier about uh you know the the many being the memory
01:26:27.540and the huger being the the rational mind uh another example of that that soul sickness is
01:26:34.780irrational thinking um i hear this thing i don't like well you know what we're we're just done
01:26:41.580you know uh and if you were to ask me why i quit as a matter of fact i called mr flavel
01:26:47.580when i decided i wanted to come back and i was and we were only gone for six eight weeks something
01:26:53.420like that called mr flavel at home and and this man didn't know me and you know asked him if it
01:27:00.540was okay if i if i came back he graciously and you know obviously let me come back daniel what was
01:27:08.140the problem i didn't even remember there was something that dumb apparently and to this day
01:27:15.500i still don't remember what it was no some guy said that this guy said that and blah
01:27:20.620instead of doing instead of going to the source and trying to figure out whatever the uh the
01:27:24.780grievance was i just reacted and again a flaw a flaw of my own that uh you know i've since worked
01:27:35.260on i'm not saying i'm perfect about it now but i but i think a lot of people just react and and
01:27:42.300And they don't take time to, you know, go through these, you know, go through these thought processes in order to try to get to the source of the problem.
01:32:54.680I got an email from someone and so this is a female that said, you know, hey, I just want to let you know that I'm coming out there this weekend to protest you guys.
01:33:07.960But I'm nonviolent. I don't wish you guys any harm. And I'm not trying to hurt anybody, but I want to go protest there.
01:33:14.240I'm just letting you know. And, you know, I'll be there with my class. So I assume this was a college thing.
01:33:22.460i assumed whatever when i asked like your class yeah it was her high school class and you know
01:33:32.460it was cold and i said all right well if you guys get cold you know come on inside we'll get you
01:33:37.180some hot chocolate we'll warm you guys up and you can go back out and it was you know we really
01:33:42.460haven't had a problem in that community outside of you know the initial reporter trying to trying
01:33:48.460to stir up issues honestly that uh that piece that you mentioned by the guardian that's
01:33:56.140may have been the singus biggest single biggest recruitment tool for the afa that we've had so
01:34:01.820far we've gotten many many members from that so that worked out very well for us in the end yes
01:34:09.980it did um that's an interesting question can someone be devout in ritual but lacking in right
01:34:19.100action what does that mean for their piety daniel the short answer is yes um again you know our
01:34:29.420it's our actions that that count and it's not just our actions in in the ritual space it's not just
01:34:34.940our actions and you know in a sacred enclosure um it's our daily stuff um
01:34:45.180does that mean that somebody is not devout during ritual no but it also means they're not they're
01:34:52.380not carrying that home with them they're not carrying that flame of uh nobility and piety
01:34:57.340home with them and that that looks different from person to person and again you know assuming that
01:35:02.780that people are at various stages of the process or regularly attending bloats.
01:36:41.800that you can show up and be devoted and still go home and be impious.
01:36:47.100Yes, that is possible. But I think learning how
01:36:50.860to have to carry that flame of piety and dignity home with you and applying it in your everyday
01:36:57.100life i think is what matters so specifically lacking in right action was the prerequisite
01:37:02.940okay i apologize well no i was just gonna say like
01:37:06.860i think that all of us are this to varying degrees because we can all
01:37:23.580do right or with our action i think one of the things to keep in mind though is yes you can
01:37:30.800have somebody and this is a beautiful place to start it's just not where you should finish
01:37:36.460but yeah you can have a lot of people that are extremely pious they show up and they practice
01:37:42.100you know overt religiosity like bloat and ritual very piously but they're still don't have their
01:37:51.060life right and we see these people a lot and you this isn't a steady state of that person
01:37:57.080it's very often you know seasons in people's lives we have people that suffer from addiction
01:38:05.040You know, I think all of us suffer to some degree from our soul sickness and we have people that, you know, come through and maybe they'll be super pious and they are very genuine in their devotion to the gods, but they don't know how to maintain their personal life or to break their addiction or to act right.
01:38:26.040And the hope is that through continued piety, you can build the strength of character and engender the good graces of the gods and ancestors to help you work through that.
01:38:38.780And also, the more time you're around your folk and the more you genuinely take part in your faith community in the AFA, you have people that can help you through those parts of your life.
01:38:52.660You can have people that kind of can hold your hand through some of those hard times and help lift you up and get you to a better spot.
01:39:01.560So you certainly can be pious and also not be acting right.
01:39:06.320But at some point, genuine piety ought to lead you to making those changes in your life.
01:39:15.880That's what we were talking about earlier.
01:39:17.520when we're talking about the the idea of uh alignment you know this holistic view of uh
01:39:25.200of being piety i'm sorry being pious um
01:39:33.040mr flabel can account for this too that uh a lot of our duties as a clergy and uh
01:39:40.720at varying stages of our, our time as clergy, we,
01:39:46.740we spend a lot of time counseling members and
01:39:50.520through that counsel and through that mentorship that,
01:39:55.160that we are providing people is with that goal in mind is to,
01:41:13.560Yeah, and that, so I think that's real important because it's, you know, one of the themes tonight.
01:41:19.020And it's, the reason we use the Rhydo rune to advertise tonight, and it's the rune of Argothar, is to be consciously aware of right action at the right time moving us forward.
01:41:40.780um like daniel mentioned there's with so many things there are big sweeping things and yes
01:41:50.920in the moment of crisis we want to do the big heroic super right action but living a life
01:41:59.840of right action is built on the collection of all the small things so
01:42:08.720you know it's something as simple as you know picking up trash if you walk by especially you're
01:42:16.960at a hoff you walk by and there's trash on the ground somewhere pick it up you see you know you0.92
01:42:24.320see ladies lifting and carrying stuff go take it from them and help it help them out help them carry
01:42:29.960something somewhere you're on a bus or on the subway or something and you're sitting down and1.00
01:42:37.020some lady comes in, doesn't have a place to sit,0.99
01:42:39.200offer her your seat, do those things, hold the door open,1.00
01:50:55.080Um, you know, if they do, I suppose they'll let me know, but I'm not really sure what kind of fair atonement he makes sense or, you know, thinks makes sense in this scenario, other than to immediately burn down any of those things that he doesn't like, including me.
01:51:18.140I know he's working real hard to try to consistently damage the AFA in my reputation.
01:51:26.600I've never tried to be dishonest or lie to anybody about any of these things or cover anything up.
01:51:32.760I'll answer any question anybody has about any of these things.
01:51:37.500And I suppose that you all can make the decision on whether you'd like to be part of the Astro Folk Assembly or not.
01:51:43.960Other than that, I don't really, not really sure what the fair demand is or seems at this point like that's just a way to stir strife and cause problems amongst Alcetruar and potential Alcetruar to, for whatever nefarious means might be there, but I don't think it's genuine.
01:52:10.220so i'm glad that you answered that question before i did because
01:52:15.080i had some like not not kind things to say about mike sessings but but i'll say this
01:52:22.220yes all the things matt just said but this is a good example of us learning from a mistake
01:52:30.120matt how often do we run criminal background checks on our membership
01:52:34.320um minimum of once a year we were running them there twice a year till we got
01:52:41.000you know the swing of of how to do that efficiently how many registered sex offenders
01:52:47.620have been found since that process began um in the first week of it we found one that was
01:52:54.020immediately removed since then we've found zero i don't know what else more we can do
01:52:59.860I can't think of anything we can do right now to fix that whole situation
01:53:05.820for the people that have been detractors and continue to slander our name
01:53:12.640But can't do anything about what happened,
01:53:14.860but we've got control over what happens now going forward.
01:53:19.640Best we can do when a problem arises is acknowledge it,
01:53:24.140figure out what we could have, should have, would have done different,
01:53:28.440and then implement those things as soon as we can again as soon as the guy was brought to our
01:53:33.800attention we got rid of them immediately um and we implemented a plan starting like that week to
01:53:44.280check every single one to make sure there was no additional problems and to handle you know
01:53:51.080handle it regularly just in case something you know just in case somebody does something we
01:53:56.120we don't know about in the time that they're a member. All we can do is our best. I know that
01:54:04.520it falls short to say that, hey, we're not perfect, or hey, that I'm not perfect. I'm not.
01:54:11.520Mistakes happen. I'm really sorry that this particular mistake happened.
01:54:17.200I'm very thankful that he didn't harm anybody in the AFA or during his time in the AFA.
01:54:23.800um but yeah i wish i could go back in time and you know him not have slipped through the cracks
01:54:28.920i'm sorry that he did uh but that's that's what we can do that's the only thing that makes sense
01:54:38.840and i think the continued cry for atonement is i don't think it's well intentioned and i don't
01:54:46.040think it's honest um is there a way to volunteer for volunteer work during a hoff work weekend
01:54:59.560yes do do that volunteer to help out at off work weekends um that may that means really different
01:55:07.800things and each off there's a lot of different kinds of things that need to be done in a variety
01:55:14.920of different ways the afa's always got a lot of volunteer opportunities you know for a long time
01:55:21.800they were very um distance oriented or computer based or whatever now that we have hoffs now that
01:55:30.280we have five hoffs and the property here that tears off will go on there are a lot of different
01:55:37.400uh things that need to be done both you know all those things that we needed to do digitally
01:55:42.520uh beforehand but now also all the property and property maintenance and upkeep as well as you
01:55:53.260know countless other things so yes ask your folk builder ask folks excuse me ask folks at the hof
01:55:59.680there are there's always room for volunteerism and we deeply appreciate it when you guys step up
01:56:04.840to help out that spirit of volunteerism is the very foundation upon which all of this is built
01:56:10.840None of this happens without that spirit of volunteerism.
01:56:15.000If you're ever in North Carolina, I've got some stuff for you to do at Thorsoff.
01:56:19.420The work is underway right this minute at Thorsoff.
01:56:33.640What else do you have that you would like to tell us about tonight's topic or anything else while we have you here?
01:56:40.840I mean, we kind of just touched on it. A very practical application of the concept of right action is just what we talked about, that spirit of volunteerism.
02:01:39.620Those victories are for our gods, and those victories are for our children.
02:01:43.220now i know gods can be abstract concepts
02:01:46.940ancestors are not and our children are darn sure not and if you can't do if you can't do better for
02:01:55.140yourself for them i'm not sure we can help you so win for each other win for our gods win for
02:02:04.920your forebears and win for your children our children the future of our race
02:02:10.980um quick question what was the reasoning behind picking
02:02:19.620jackson county tennessee fort sigraham um there's
02:02:24.900there's a variety of a variety of things that went into that as with any of the properties
02:02:33.800we've gotten there's there's kind of a a journey there that involves prayer and
02:02:41.640you know deep thought on stuff and meditation um
02:02:48.280tennessee is advantageous for a variety of reasons it's
02:02:55.640i think it's appealing to a lot of us because it's in the south and i think there's a lot of
02:03:00.760a lot of us have history in the south and tradition and values that harken back to that history
02:03:10.840so i think that makes it appealing for a lot of us uh tennessee doesn't have the state income tax
02:03:17.160which makes it economically advantageous for a lot of our folk it tends to be a state and you can't
02:03:23.640i mean political shifts in states can happen you can flip red states blue these things happen
02:03:31.560but tennessee seems pretty solidly with more traditional values than a great deal of other
02:03:38.040states which is a nice thing for local laws and local local rules that way other thing is it is
02:03:47.160very central to the AFA operations. There was a time where the center of gravity of AFA membership
02:03:57.480and AFA activity was all, you know, Northern California, and it's very much not the case now.
02:04:05.220There's still tons of activity in Northern California, but the vast,
02:04:09.500The significant majority of AFA members are east of the Mississippi.
02:04:17.860And, yeah, Sigurheim is exactly within the realm of five minutes different.
02:04:28.400Seven hours and 50 X minutes to, well, at the time between Thorshoff and Njordshoff, and also where we were looking and where we ended up getting Freysoff.
02:04:44.120So it's just about within five-minute margin of error, exactly the same travel time between all three of those Hoffs, which makes it a really good spot for the AFA capital in the center of the AFA.
02:05:02.440And, you know, I think that there's a lot of things for Tennessee, for Jackson County in specific.
02:05:07.180well okay another thing about the location it's in the south but it's not in the most
02:05:15.220the most gnarly all the time humid part of the south it's still very humid but it also has
02:05:21.600topography it's got hills and ridges and and texture to the land which is important for many
02:05:28.240of us and it uh looking at tennessee as a state we were looking at where we could find where we
02:05:37.040could find properties that met our needs where we could find the space where we got the best deal
02:05:42.160and just kind of where it all worked out and daniel was actually part of that on scouting some
02:05:47.440properties for us and he was the guy that went out and scouted and decided on this uh cigarette
02:05:54.320property for us so that that all worked out really well and we're pretty happy with it
02:06:01.360do you have anything to add on your your scouting of the property or things of that nature yeah um
02:06:09.760so we had we had gone up i believe we found that property on our second or third trip up there
02:06:17.040and um we went up there with a couple other properties in mind matt had us uh looking at
02:06:24.320shoot minimum of eight properties were on the list i think it may have been more than that
02:06:29.840and it kind of began with uh that particular area of jackson county was one of the places
02:06:35.600that was really appealing and uh you know did what did what you do whenever you're looking for
02:06:41.920stuff you google realtors and i had one realtor call me back one and she pointed us toward that
02:06:50.240particular property uh that exists there on hunting creek now and um we had taken a look
02:06:56.240at some other properties that just didn't fit i you know i didn't think fit our needs you know
02:07:01.600some of it was like the topography was so extreme like we'd have to dynamite our way into it
02:07:06.720to just cut a driveway in and things like that just didn't make sense uh but the minute that
02:07:12.880heather and i pulled up to the uh to the property that that would eventually become
02:07:17.520the Sagerheim property. We knew when we pulled in that that was the one. It was kind of
02:07:23.600there's two large fields down at the very base of the property. There's a nice ridge that runs
02:07:31.240along the backside of the property and we circumvented that entire place and it's just
02:07:36.660under 70 acres. And a few things sold me on besides just like the practicality of the property itself
02:07:44.440but just the uh uh the layout of the uh the area um had that really like small town like mountain
02:07:53.560town feel to it um there's a couple a handful of restaurants you know no major shopping area you
02:08:02.040know the shopping center which i know is decidedly inconvenient i think it's what 45 minutes to the
02:08:06.440nearest walmart or something like that but um i it checked a lot of boxes and um
02:08:12.600Um, I, I don't think I've, out of all the stuff that I have done for that,
02:08:17.600focus assembly, nothing made me as nervous as that process did.
02:08:21.860Matt said, here's X amount of dollars, go find some property.
02:08:26.380And we pulled the trigger on that property without,
02:08:28.800and I'm the only person at the time that ever set foot on it from the AFA.
02:08:32.920So that was, it was a gamble on my part, but I'm glad it paid off.
02:10:59.880There's no place in the county that's more than 30 minutes from it.
02:11:02.920You're part of everything if you're in the county.
02:11:05.480And you can be in the suburbs of Cookville and be in the county and be right next to, you know, a good-sized little city there with, you know, anything you can need if that's what you want.
02:11:16.280If you want small towns, there's a number of small towns in Jackson County, Gainesboro being where I'm at, and the small town in Jackson County that's closest, but also tons of rural property, tons of hunting properties that you can build a home on and live on.
02:11:40.720If you're looking to raise livestock or farm or do any number of things, you've got the opportunity to do pretty much whatever you want here in the county.
02:11:53.420It's got all of the benefits of being rural, but being close enough to cities and stuff that you need.
02:12:00.180It's really ideal, and we would encourage you all to get out here.
02:12:04.960if you're an outdoorsy kind of person, it's, it's, uh, it's, it's perfect. There's bodies of water
02:12:14.160there. There's plenty of places to hide, to hunt. I mean, we've seen the first thing I saw whenever
02:12:19.600we walked onto the fields was, you know, whitetails bouncing through the fields and
02:12:23.840yeah. Yes. Love that place. Wild Turkey out there. We've got, you know, the Cumberland
02:12:31.520river runs right through the county it's beautiful it's beautiful beautiful country out here so it is
02:12:38.240um another question how does one rid themselves of their self-hatred that was imposed on them
02:12:44.880through christianity daniel it's a short question but uh answers are big and consequential um
02:12:57.280Um, so if, if this person were to call me and, and ask for my, my spiritual counsel,
02:13:04.640the, you know, the first thing that we would have to find out is why, you know, why do
02:13:10.200we hate ourselves and kind of attack it from that root and, you know, getting down to the
02:13:17.300root of that problem and, and trying to, you know, do some repair there will permeate
02:13:24.380throughout the rest of the uh the person's life um and we had talked earlier about you know trying
02:13:30.620to find like where it was that that the soul sickness as we know it now kind of began and
02:13:36.700you know we can trace a lot of that almost all of that back to the you know the breaking of truth
02:13:42.380that that occurred in our in our distant past um somebody in every one of our bloodlines was part
02:13:48.540of that and i and i think us you know being in the condition that we're in now as a folk in
02:13:54.060a society okay all that can be traced back to that um so to answer the answer the question
02:14:01.260though we'd have to find out why and what is you know what do we hate about ourselves and and try
02:14:06.700to attack that and you know if this person were to call me i'm not going to fill you up with uh
02:14:14.060you know fluffy bunny stuff i'm not going to blow smoke or whatever you know we'll get right to the
02:14:17.820meet and takers of it you know why do we hate ourselves why why are we enduring the self-hatred
02:14:23.180and and trying to repair that and you know try to build ourselves into something worthy
02:14:28.620and build ourselves into something to be admired and you know to build a house that people want
02:14:34.620to feel comfortable in to be a man that people feel good standing next to in circle or one
02:18:17.420I'm still here in spite of that which happened to me.
02:18:24.440Again, the way we think, the way we speak, these things have a way of working themselves out in the mind and in the soul.
02:18:33.900There's that phrase, and it takes on a cheap meaning, but I don't mean it cheaply.
02:18:38.380It's that you fake it until you make it kind of thing.
02:18:42.000Stacking those little victories on top of themselves.
02:18:44.080And, you know, again, not letting not letting things in the past hold you back and to keep that first and forefront in your mind is that you're here in spite of those things and you're still kicking.
