Great piece. Glad you were able to see through this horrible reality most kids face growing up. When I was in those shoes I made the mistake of not embracing being unique and tried as hard as I could to fit in. Thankfully I was able to see through it as an adult, but seems like the masses won’t be changing anytime soon. If TikTok doesn’t say it’s cool, it’s not cool…right?
It's a good thing to be weird. Weird is an Anglo Saxon word referring to the fated or spiritual.
One of the comments I encounter fairly often is that my view is crazy. That's especially frequent when I have evidence and a detailed view of some matter. A couple months back I restacked a post from John Carter of Postcards from Barsoom for which he ungraciously thanked me by calling me crazy.
Calling someone crazy isn't an argument. It's a cop out. It says the name caller not only has no evidence and no arguments but also denies any reason to engage with a crazy person. It's a sort of arrogant and mean spirited bit of calumny. I had expected better from the Barsoomian. But he's no Edgar Rice Burroughs.
I read the Bible Cover to Cover, Old and New Testament, at 19 and a few times since. So much for what they used to cover in church and catechism. The Insane, Psychotic "god" of the Old Testament, and his followers, was brutally disgusting in many-many places. I did not ever hear that in church or catechism. There were some sparks of Light in there (to entrap the good spirits reading it) but engulfed in evil. Lots of contradictions. The New Testament was better but very contradictory too and most anything by Paul, who was not an Apostle as is preached-never knew Jesus and was hired by the Pharisees to murder Jesus and his Disciples, is mostly the writings of a Slave Master (he was serving the "god" of the Old Testament. Again sparks of Light used to trap the good spirits reading it. It will change your perspective.
True Gnosticism is an Inner Nous (Knowing) if we have and can connect to our True Essence. The main points of Gnosticism are:
* The "god" of the Old Testament (Torah) is a Psychotic, Insane, Blood-thirsty Maniac and not God at all but the Usurper, the Demiurge. History and especially recent history proves this beyond a shadow of a doubt. Duality is real.
* The True God has sent many Rescuers (parts of Herself/Himself) here to spread the Truth and Divine Energy to support theirs here until the final Rescue. These Rescuers include amongst many:
Zoroaster, the True Moses (in the Bible Aaron and Joshua's actions serving the Demuirge are put on Moses), The True Elijah and Daniel, Pythagoras, Plato, Socrates, The True Spiritual Warrior Jesus (Who was an Essene), Mother Mary, James the brother of Jesus, John the Divine, Manichaes, Marcus Aurelius Verus, Joan of Arc, Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, Lafayette, Nathaniel Greene, Poppa Haydn, JS Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Wagner, Abe Lincoln, Mark Twain, Muhammad Ali, Mandela, Qaddafi. Often it was the same Beings in different bodies.
* Most Everything in the Material world is a sham and a trap. Covid and the Bioweapon Jab surely showed that as does the US supplied Genocide in Gaza of defenseless mostly women and children.
* The Predator/Parasites live off the Energy of the good Beings stuck in human, animal, plant and mineral bodies as well as Higher Classes of Consciousness. They utilize their agents to cause strife and pain to cause the loss of energy. Just consider how much positive energy from good beings is lost in a war, famine, disasters, financial issues etc and hence they are always here.
* Read as much of the Talmud as you can stomach. TERRIBLE!
* The objectives of many of the main religions is to eradicate True Gnosticism. On the material surface they did a great job. Read what they did to the Cathars. Keep in mind most books on Gnosticism and the Cathars cannot understand the Spiritual crux of it and most are written to shut down the Truth.
* The Dead Sea Scrolls, Nag Hammadi, Avesta, books that somewhat demonstrate the True Zoroaster and Manicheas are rare but you'll know when you find them.

Conformity has never been my cup of tea either, we are incredibly similar in that way-and the older I get, the less tolerance I have. It honestly saddens me to watch society fall victim to ultraconservativism and group thinking. We need creators and innovators more than ever.
Your song is on heavy rotation on my go-to Spotify playlist. Nice choice. All the best people are crazy indeed.
This absolutely resonates with me, I very much like people on their own, but the larger the crowd the more difficult it becomes to see them in a good light. Speaking of the lowest common denominator; crowds and mobs tend to gravitate towards the lowest common denominator. When you consider that the internet is basically the largest 'mob' in all of human history, it starts to make sense how so much goes off the rails with social media interactions and online activity in general. The madness of the crowd and all that.
Our benevolent form of martial law with a pretend adherence to our Constitutions created the best form of governance on the planet for decades. The BAR attorneys and Bankers from London started this greedy, power hungry malevolent governance we have. That dates to before Rothschild that perfected this evil.
Had it not turned to malevolent we would have remained like frogs in the pan of water. I did until 2014 and the US Navy determined I was very smart at 18. Not so much anymore. It was thought that the force for the malevolent takeover would come from the military and judiciary. It appears to be coming from the medical adherents to the Josef Mengele School of medicine.
On Oregon the fix by the Esquires, many were attorneys, like Frank Benson that corrupted our Oregon Constitution in 1910. When, ARTICLE VII (Amended) was added, unlawfully, to the Constitution. I’m told not all members of the Oregon State Bar know this. The OSB confers the title of nobility, Esquire, to its members. ARTICLE VII (Amended) is the Judiciary clause the judges and attorneys use to defraud the people. It could be that some Sheriffs and police are unaware of this deception. I’m told that some legislators do not know of this fraud upon the people. Many do not even know what a lawful oath and bond of office is.
LEOs ask for legal help from attorneys and judges and get mis and dis information. They are the ones that are aware of the misprision of felony and they continue to perpetrate this evil on us after 113 years. Although, we know the fix was in from the time of Lincoln. The powers that be on Oregon from 1860 corrupted our government when they agreed to the fraud of Matthew Deady and his two state authorized books, containing the lie that Amendment XIII the anti title of nobility amendment was not part of our statehood documents. Doctor, Mister, Gentlemen, Sir, Lady, Lord and Esquire are all titles of nobility not just honorifics. But, it is homage to the British royalty and nobility a deference to our betters. Did you think it was just being polite like you were taught?
So there it is! They are the two major frauds upon the people both to the advantage of the BAR (British Accreditation Registry) the attorneys of the Oregon State Bar and their ilk on Oregon. The people, our Sheriffs, Legislators and others say, “let me ask my attorney.” The fraud is perpetuated. Unfettered advice from Counsel does not include Oregon State Bar members. As, they all have an oath to an ARTICLE VII (Amended) Court. They are registered or unregistered foreign agents. It’s complicated and people turn off and consider important issues. What is for dinner, is the football game on? Our churches become 501 C3 and give their allegiance to the state before God and their congregation. And so it goes.
I read all of Allegro writings on the Dead Sea Scrolls but don't buy into his magic mushrooms. Mistretta's I know are either Western Sicily or Lombardy N. Italy and maybe originally from Sicily.
My Dad's side is Northern Italy, Central Italy and Southern Italy but not Sicily. My Mom's side was Scotch-Irish who are Borderland Scots forced to Ireland and then many moved to the frontier in the USA. Two very different perspectives.

Absolutely!! I joined a non-conformist group.

Thanks for the music! Great article and great video
This essay was terrific. Thank you. A retired teacher. 😊
