00:01:54Meaning that the CIA, if they want something specific from you, and I have this from the highest possible sources, are able to create around you a 360 diorama where your every interaction Is being coaxed into the achievement of a particular objective.
00:02:10Say, if you had a bit of information they wanted, they would ensure that someone at your place of work was able to guide you this way.
00:02:16Then you would have a chance encounter with someone else, and ultimately they would get that information.
00:02:21There's probably public records of how these things are practiced, but I happen to have access to some esoteric information.
00:02:29But all of us are in a general system of control where we're being generally shepherded.
00:02:36Generally, shepherded towards here, have access to this information.
00:02:40You might be arguing against this particular public figure, you might be arguing for this public figure, but as long as you're engaged in an argument confined to the vocabulary and generalized paradigm of the culture, we own your consciousness.
00:02:56By consciousness, I mean attention and intelligence.
00:02:59I know consciousness is more complex than that, but let's just start there.
00:04:47Anyway, the joy I felt when I touched you went deep, deep down and seeped into every nook and cranny of this body.
00:04:52Even if I'm far away and no longer understand anything, even when the time comes for this life to end, everything of now is everything of the past.
00:05:03We'll meet again, I'm sure, in some nostalgic place.
00:05:08To the some of it's blurred out, deep, deep down comes to me now complete from a time long past, steadily in my heart.
00:05:17The flames of passion give light and softly soothe my pain down to the depths of my grief.
00:06:10It's at the end of, if you haven't watched Princess Kagura, it's by the sort of the anime or the Studio Ghibli Japanese anime group who did Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle and all those sort of great Ponyo, brilliant films.
00:07:35God, thank you that we may know you here without brokerage, without negotiation, that through every breath we may know you.
00:07:45The in breath that brought Adam, the dirt clay man, to life, the exhalation of your Son, you, Lord God, Jesus Christ, Emmanuel, morning star on the cross, this exhalation.
00:08:00The inhalation of Adam and the exhalation of Christ could be regarded as the single breath upon which all reality hangs, creation.
00:08:09And reconciliation, Lord, may me and Laura know that reconciliation today with our temporal and digital congregation here.
00:08:17Whether you're watching us, whatever app you've opened on your phone or your laptop to watch us, I'm so grateful that you are with us here now as we travel through time on this celestial parade forever.
00:08:30The verse I was looking for, I think, is somewhere in Mark when you are in court, don't need to prepare, the Holy Spirit will speak for you.
00:08:40Lord God, be with us as we prepare for our return to London.
00:08:45Look, God, I pray for truth and justice and for the best outcome for everyone involved in this trial.
00:08:52Lord, who am I, after what you endured for me, to ask for anything other than whatever you have for me and for my family?
00:09:06I didn't give myself fingers, the English language, hair, or Laura, or the beautiful Floridian breeze, nor did I give myself a reputation or a career.
00:09:28Thank you that we can come together in common unity here, communicating and creating true community.
00:09:36And Lord, from what I see in my country, the UK right now, we need it.
00:09:41This is a time where the enemy, the fallen one has managed to lacquer and shellac your glorious kingdom.
00:09:48with counterfeit bureaucratic systems, Lord, where your power is being emulated and everywhere synthesized by false idols and false gods, flinging up their antennae, their poles and worshiping at false altars.
00:10:02Oh, Lord God, I repent of my former life where I worshiped at the false altar of self, thinking what I wanted and what I didn't want were the highest principles.
00:10:13Now, Lord God, Jesus Christ, ever present living Messiah, we serve and adore you.
00:11:24But what I like her is she speaks the languages that precede Hebrew.
00:11:29She learned from a rabbi Hebrew, and then she learned, and I love saying this, the proto Canaanite and proto Sinite languages that preceded written Hebrew.
00:12:41You know, as in we describe different aspects of God.
00:12:44El Olam, yeah, the everlasting God or the eternal God.
00:12:46The Hebrew name for the God who has no beginning and no end.
00:12:49The God for whom one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.
00:12:53We'd forget, don't we, that this, oh, I like what you've put those little roses there, that this little device is, you know, it's somewhat arbitrary.
00:14:02Some languages, like, see, the obvious example being Schadenfreude, the taking delight in other people's pain, which seems to me, I don't know, but people dig that.
00:14:30Schwissen, which I think is spelled with a Z, but I have to really, maybe I've got it wrong.
00:14:34Schwissen, something like that, where it's the in between, where you're about to have, you're in between worlds of like being pregnant and having a baby, and it's the last part of the pregnancy.
00:14:44And it's a word that almost means you have to enter another realm.
00:14:47In order to go in, do go into another room.
00:14:49Yeah, why are you not checking these things if you really want to do that?
00:14:51Because my battery's about to run out and I thought that was plugged in and it's not.
00:15:01You think I haven't presented things like Comic Relief or the MTV VMA Awards?
00:15:04You think that I'm not able to legitimately provide content for a brief period of time while you plug something in and make an easy analogy like we must remain connected to the source to receive the necessary invisible signals?
00:15:25And would you think that that's the summit of the illusion?
00:15:27Don't you think that this reality is likely a code that we're translating and interpreting through the senses, but we're not getting the objective reality?
00:16:39It's a liminal space, it's a portal space, and that actually ties in very nicely to some of the themes that we were talking about today on Sunday service, and indeed that celestial parade, because Schwissen, maybe all life is a form of Schwissen, because temporarily we are here, we occupy tents or tabernacles, these vessels, the body that is passing away.
00:16:58And did you not know that you are not your body and your body doesn't belong to you, that you are the Holy Spirit, that you are not your own?
00:17:03And if you are, as Paul says, sleeping with sex workers, you're making Jesus do that, you're making the Spirit.
00:17:11The pure principle of God in flesh, you're making God in flesh like stare at porn or whatever sin, or I suppose that's more vice than sin.
00:17:21Because other sins include, and I've been enjoying Father Mike Schmidt's material.
00:17:37There's very good on the point of entitlement, like when you think, I should have this, I shouldn't have that, why have I got to go through this?
00:17:43Why have I got to go through Through that, why haven't I got this?
00:17:45You know, having an opinion on what reality should be like, even though you are not the creator of reality.
00:17:50One time in a 12 step meeting, and I'm ever grateful that I received such a wonderful training in spirituality and continue to receive a training in spirituality from 12 step environments.
00:17:59Someone reported in a 12 step meeting once, you know, that they were saying to their sponsor, I should be married, I should have a girlfriend, I should have this, I should have that.
00:18:10And their sponsor said, You should be dead.0.99
00:20:05In Revelation, it would be the seven churches, the seven lamps, the seven lights, the city street of Jerusalem with the crystal water throne from the throne of God right down to the rock.
00:20:14You know, they're like, yeah, I think they're sort of the language that this ultimately.
00:21:18And so, like, my point is this that while I was doing yoga, in one of the bits between poses, when I was laying my back in that hot, hot room, trying to think of my breath like it was water, like, oh man, I'm so hot.
00:22:46Oh, but to be focused on your breath when there's a lot of external distraction or stimulation, it's a bit like the feeling of threading a needle.
00:22:54And in particular, when you're threading a needle and you have the thread and the thread's right against the eye of the needle, and you're like, hold on a minute, why is it not going through?
00:23:02I've done everything I need to do, I've lined it up perfect, and it's still not going through.
00:24:35Mary and her, like an attribute shared by the Holy Mother there and by our Lord and Savior, is both of them saying, My personal nature is irrelevant.
00:24:46My rustleness, which is not a euphemism for my winky woo, my rustleness is not what defines me.
00:24:53I am defined by, I am a conduit, a conductor for a higher thing.
00:24:58Mary says, I'm the handmaid of the Lord, do what you gotta do.
00:25:46Like, you know, when you get advice from someone, like for example, when we were at a University of Florida vets getting our tortoise back, who's got an esophageal tube in his neck, which by the way, I'm feeding and administering medication and hydration, you know, twice a day to it.
00:27:58Okay, sorry, but you are the one that when I came home once, you were playing music which was making me like, and it was like, yes, 480 kilohertz.
00:28:54It was really, really insane, yeah, is it?
00:28:56Anyway, well, my point is this when the rich young ruler says to our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus, I've been doing that, It's like when I was at the University of Florida vet in Gainesville, and good people, by the way, good people.
00:29:08And like the lady goes, You've got to keep the tortoise in the bath.
00:29:10I goes, Mate, that tortoise is in the bath the whole time.
00:29:34Mind your own business, mind your own beeswax.
00:29:36Well, Mr. Brown is trying to advise you on what's best for the tortoise.
00:29:39No, your point was you're telling me to do something that we're already doing, not necessarily obvious, but something that we're already doing, right?
00:29:46Yeah, and therefore I'm concerned because we have this problem.
00:29:49And if we have this problem and we're already doing something you're telling us to do, then that's not going to be the solution because we're already doing that, yes, yes, yes.
00:33:18But I now, it came to me direct that what he was saying is this is what he says Children, it's easier for a camel to thread a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.
00:33:34And I bet when you look at the Greek or the Aramaic that he would have said it in.
00:33:37But do you know what I always thought of it as?
00:33:39And when I've heard it before, was simply that it's difficult because it's got, you have to navigate, you're going at a level and you have to navigate a hump to get it through one shape.
00:33:51Oh, like it's one of those things at a church fair.
00:34:21Whenever I've heard that, even in the last couple of days when we fashioned this or yesterday, I've been imagining it like that game going through the thing.
00:35:45So, no, I think he's saying it's easier for a camel to thread a needle, and a camel can't thread a needle.
00:35:52I.e., this is how old Russ would say it I don't understand God the way that our cat doesn't understand the internet.
00:35:58It doesn't matter how much time I try to explain modems and Wi Fi and Facebook and Amazon Prime, the cat will not be able to absorb the information.
00:36:07Or, as Isaiah puts it, my ways are not your ways.
00:36:10As far above the, as far, my thoughts are as far above your thoughts as the heavens are above the ground.
00:36:19Or to enter into heaven, this state of heaven, this ever present contact with God, I am that I am, sent you.
00:36:28Before Abraham was born, I am an ever present God.
00:36:32To get into that state of mind, if you're rich and you've got access to pleasures and treasures and sensation, is like try and imagine how hard it would be for a camel to get a bit of Fred.
00:38:14Well, now you've got to bring your attention to the breath when there's increasing pressure and without what you consider to be the correct tools.
00:38:21If you're able to do this, you will enter the kingdom of heaven.
00:38:24For as Aquinas says, the kingdom of heaven is on the earth, but man sees it not.
00:38:28Perhaps because it's lacking and shellacked by the bureaucratic kingdom of Baphomet, of Moloch, of Baal, of the false gods, the false gods of our culture, which may as well now be called the nations, the state, the World Bank.
00:38:40The IMF, NATO, choose your poison, choose your false God.
00:38:45All of them want to distract you from the divine truth present in you now, intimate connection with a holy, present master who died for our sins and was born again that we may know him for eternal life.
00:38:53But to enter the kingdom of God for a rich man, if you are Elon Musk and Lord, I pray for him, then it's difficult because you've got all this stuff around you, all this titillating, stimulating, accessible nodes of pleasure.
00:39:07And especially if you have that, gosh, the wisdom of Solomon.
00:39:11Led him to the point, well, you know, vanity, vanity, vanity, all this vanity, nothing means now, nothing means anything.
00:39:16So that came to me, and I said, God, show me if you mean this by giving me further synchronicities over the day.
00:39:23And then he did, but that's just for you and I to discuss because it ain't easy to get camels into conversations.
00:39:38You know, see, I don't feel, I love the denominations of Eastern Orthodoxy and Catholicism and the SS. PX, you know, yet more esoteric Catholicism that reject Vatican II and their findings and proposals.0.68
00:42:08He, Chesterton, denies sophistry, which means superficial glibness, and then uses the beautiful metaphor becoming a Christian is like saying you've discovered England while sailing on a yacht.
00:43:07So, what I'm saying is, I've chested and he says that, like, Just believe the Apostles' Creed.
00:43:14I believe in God the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who is conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
00:43:23On the third day, he rose again from the dead.
00:43:28On the third day, he rose again from the dead.
00:43:29He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
00:43:31From there, he will come to judge the living and the dead.
00:43:33I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, communion of saints, forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
00:44:42I think what the queer reverend says is that, and I, by the way, you know, look, our Lord does say in heaven there is no man woman.0.52
00:44:53But Genesis does say in his image he created them, man woman he created them.
00:44:58What I believe above all else is that we're not here to judge each other.
00:45:02And when you take a position in the cultural war, you are in a kind of consider yourself as being in a pocket or paddock.
00:45:09They used to use the phrase kettling when doing riot control in the UK, used to go to a lot of protests.
00:45:14And kettling means like the police have got a strategy for breaking up the crowd and preventing the disturbance becoming the necessary revolution required to restore UK to its rightful owners, the people.
00:45:28The kettle it is like they take sort of, you know, 10% of the crowd that way, 10% of the crowd that way.
00:45:32Once they've got you in a controlled environment, they keep you there till you're so bored and you need to mix your rate and everything loses steam, like a kettle, I suppose.
00:46:20And John's the one who writes revelations.
00:46:21And John's the one who writes of the seven churches and the seven candles and tells us there must be a concomitant mystical tradition accompanying the institutional church.
00:47:32That the man, the gentleman we met at the hospital that was extremely helpful and kind to us, had listened to the Sunday service, as had his friend who has written this book.
00:47:42And he had called me up in the week after the surgery to check how Herbie was doing.
00:47:46And he said, My friend, listen to your Sunday service.
00:47:50And by some chance, like part of his book was sort of going and finding the birthplace of Wendell Berry.
00:48:14And the new friend, acquaintance, and lovely, lovely gentleman that came to meet us to say hello to us in person, because this had just been on the phone before, gave us this book and said, This is written by my friend who I mentioned to you on the phone.
00:48:34It's a book called The Good Way and it's inspired by the period of COVID 19, the global pandemic era, where their author, Hunter Lambeth, advocates for us slowing down and walking, living life at three miles an hour like our.
00:49:01So he doesn't need to rush or slow down or do nothing.
00:49:04But anyway, this is a suggestion that the COVID era could have been, as well as, I mean, my diagnosis is that COVID was a time where we learned that there is a set of global interests that transcend government that are preparing for total control.
00:49:18But unalamed, and this is a rather nice analysis, and I also agree, having to agree with that it was an opportunity for us to recognize that we'd been captured and we're not at a pace or good by this counterfeit system of total control.
00:49:33Seems enjoyable from what you've read me so far.
00:50:40At melon229, thank you for the helpful discussion on prayer.
00:50:44Last week, we talked about prayer and emergency prayer and the prayer when you're feeling desperate, but also the kind of daily, what did you say?
00:51:56But this is from the book that we've just been discussing by Hunter Lambeth, In Search of the Good Way, The Quest to Live Life at the Pace of Christ.
00:52:41Let them shape themselves without undue haste.
00:52:45Don't try to force them on, as though you could be today what time, that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own goodwill, will make of you tomorrow.
00:52:55Only God could say what this new spirit gradually forming within you will be.
00:53:00Give our Lord the benefit of believing that his hand is leading you, and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself in suspense and incomplete.
00:55:02Hey, dear God, thank you for being with us today.
00:55:07Thank you for the sound of our children playing and friends.
00:55:12Thank you for the bird that's really chirping, I can hear, and the chickens that I can hear in the background.
00:55:19And thank you for the lessons that we can learn from all the people that we meet, whether it's when we're in hospitals or veterinary clinics or whether it's strangers in the street, the things that we can take from encounters with strangers that really they can show us things about ourselves and guide us in many ways in what we need to know, whether that's bringing something up.
00:55:46And I'm talking about the feeling you can get, whether it's an impatience at something, like it says.
00:55:51And impatience to be where you think you need to be, or whether it's wanting something that you don't have, as we've mentioned today, that feeling of like worldly possessions or whatever it is.
00:56:03Just show us, God, what we're meant to show us, God, how we're meant to live and how we're meant to respect that slowness and that pace and that the pace of your living, Jesus Christ, how you lived, as it says in that book and in the Jeremiah passage there.
00:56:19You know, I pray for rest for everybody's souls, for our souls.
00:56:25I can pray personally for the rest for my own soul so that I can be a great mother and a wife.
00:56:31And so I take care of myself when I can remember to.
