A Moment "In" Joy is Worth a Century

5/31/2022

Last year I wrote a post in which I referred to joy as a weapon, which is a peculiar way to think about joy when you stop to think about it. To clarify, I don't really consider joy to be a weapon, but I imagine the enemy does, and that makes all the difference.

Extinguishing joy is clearly a primary demonic objective of these times. The best way to counter the seemingly never-ending onslaught is to aspire to be "in" joy every day.

Being "in" joy is not merely about comforts, amusements, distractions, and pleasures. Though these things may spark or stoke joy, being "in" joy transcends the dictum to "enjoy".

At its core, I interpret being "in" joy as an exercise in thinking that leads to an interchange between the Divine and the divine within us. It presents an opportunity to commune with the very essence of the Creator and His Creation.

Above all else, joy is a testament to the reality of God and the presence of God's love. Being "in" joy is to be fully immersed in that reality and that presence, even if it lasts but a moment each day.

Every moment we spend "in" joy feels like a century to the enemy . . . which is exactly as it should be and precisely why it matters.

Our Attitude Towards Power

5/29/2022

7 Comments

Who was more powerful? Jesus or the worldly power that crucified Him?

I ask the question because many have reached the erroneous conclusion that the Christian faith is weak, passive, and powerless.

Note that I say Christian faith and not Christianity because if one equates Christianity with contemporary Christian institutions and organizations then one may well be justified in the discernment that Christianity is indeed weak, passive, and powerless.

Worse, one can readily observe that all nearly all forms of organized Christianity have submitted to and are complying with global totalitarian evil. What does this say about organized Christianity and its relationship to power?

Those who see the Christian faith as weak, passive, and powerless misunderstand the latent power within the Christian faith. They pine for something more robust and vigorous -- something more testosterone-laden. Hence, they abandon Christianity altogether and set out to find power in other spiritual possibilities. Excuse the vulgarism, but they essentially yearn for a god "with balls". Hence, the current interest in neo-paganism.

The small but growing interest in neo-paganism is a response to the question at the top of this post. Those who seek neo-pagan spiritual solutions to our current challenges certainly believe the worldly power that crucified Jesus was more powerful than Christ.

This is an error of the most grievous kind. Nevertheless, it does shed light on the need for Christians to re-examine and re-think their attitudes towards power lest they fall into passivity, despair, or mistakenly wander down the same dead-end road. Nikolai Berdyaev once noted that:

"Without a radical and spiritual transformation of our attitude towards power, in awareness and in action, we will remain in a condition of servility."

Our attitude towards power -- about what it truly is and what it truly does -- has rarely been more critical than it is now.

So, ask yourself -- Who was more powerful? Jesus or the worldly power that crucified Him?

Your answers will reveal much about your attitude towards power and, possibly, the work you still need to do personally.

The Two Most Common Sacred Images in Hungarian Homes

5/24/2022

8 Comments

In previous generations nearly every Hungarian home featured some sort szentkép, which can be roughly translated as "sacred image".

These sacred images were usually mid-to-low-quality prints featuring Jesus, the Virgin Mary -- either separately or together -- or an iconic New Testament scene.

You can still encounter these images today, mostly in the homes of elderly people. In my experience, the two images below remain the most "popular".

The Sacred Heart of Jesus - date and artist unknown. A framed copy of this print "came with" the house I purchased in Hungary six years ago.

Jesus on the Mount of Olives - date and artist unknown

Though the tradition continues here and there, it is not nearly as prevalent as it had been in previous generations. When you are invited into anyone's home these days, you are more likely to encounter a kaleidoscopic IKEA print or a framed poster of a professional athlete or rock band.

Render Unto Science What is Science's; Or, Why It Is an Error to Pin One's Hopes On Team Save Western Civilization

5/22/2022

19 Comments

As an addendum to yesterday's post in which I argued against pinning one's hopes on Team Save Western Civilization, I would like to offer some support to back up my argument.

Before wading into it, I need to stress that these of sorts judgments do not really need to be supported in any conventional sense to be valid.

On the contrary, judgments like the one I publicized about Team Save Western Civilization yesterday are largely a matter of personal experience, intuition, and spiritual discernment, which could also be described as a "just know" position.

Things coming to a point in 2020 have made this "just know" level much easier, but it only works if you are aware of the point that was reached in 2020.

Anway, on to the support. The paragraph below is excerpted from the speech the Hungarian Prime Minister gave at the recent CPAC Conference in Budapest (bold and paragraph breaks added):

Our seventh point: do not get pushed to the extreme. I say this because extreme conspiracy theories rear their heads from time to time on the right – just as extreme utopias regularly rear their heads on the left. If we take a deeper look, we see that in fact people want neither.

But, Dear Friends, what is the difference between the denial of science by the extreme right and the denial of biology by LGBTQ movements? The answer is simple: there is no difference whatsoever. We must render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, unto God the things that are God’s, and unto Science the things that are Science’s.

We may gain immense popularity on internet forums by promoting conspiracy theories – and indeed sometimes there is truth in them; but in reality we will alienate a large proportion of the electorate, find ourselves pushed to the margins, and eventually we will lose.

Render unto Science the things that are Science's.

Well, I honestly don't know where to start. To tack this statement onto Jesus's message is in and of itself profane, perhaps even blasphemous, especially when we acknowledge that the science to which Orbán refers is thoroughly corrupt, explicitly anti-Truth, anti-God, and blatantly anti-Creation -- hence, not science.

Orbán's augmentation and inversion of the sentences Jesus used to turn the tables on a Pharisee-set trap discloses much about the truths Orbán and others like him seek to avoid.

Though he parades around as one of the West's greatest defenders, Orbán fully knows that he actively, willingly, and eagerly helped kill Western Civilization and usher in the 2020 global totalitarian coup via the birdemic and its "science".

Moreover, Orbán and the rest of Team Save Western Civilization will continue to employ "the birdemic cover story as a complete explanation for sudden, instant, universal totalitarianism", all under the unquestionable, inviolable, and untouchable banner of "science" or, more correctly, lies.

Anyone who refuses to render unto science the things that are science's is guilty of a thought crime and will be deemed an extremist.

And just how sound and unchallengeable is this science through which Orbán helped usher in global totalitarianism and upon which all "science things" must be rendered?

Well, back in 2021, the Hungarian PM stated the following regarding the science's official diktat on lockdowns, social distancing, masking and birdemic peck effectiveness (code and bold added):

"In the past, we defended ourselves by closing, thereby slowing the spread of the virus. But now we are on the attack. The peck is like a bulletproof vest. The virus bounces off of it."

"Closing" did not defend anyone from anything. Closing devastated the economy and the population. Closing stripped all Hungarians of their supposed fundamental rights. The peck is anything but a bulletproof vest. All of my pecked colleagues and friends who donned the vest have caught birdemic bullets -- some repeatedly -- in spite of it.

That's some science, that.

A writer at the Gates of Vienna blog noted the following, which aligns with some of what I expressed in my post yesterday (bold added, code words added):

I guess “science” means the birdemic psy-op. And “far-right denial of science” means that the “Mi Hazánk” (Our Homeland) party has exposed the birdemic psy-op and has been voted into the Parliament.

Again, Hungary is playing the antagonist in the NWO theater, against the more overt “woke” part of the global Communist revolution, along with the invited US Republican party and the whole “conservative idea”. And the more covert part of the Communist revolution is the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” within the “Great Reset”, which Hungary is heavily invested in.

The Powers That Be are playing both sides.

Sound points, but they miss the spiritual aspect entirely. The larger point is this - the two sides the Establishment are playing are both on the wrong side of God and Creation, which is why it is pointless for anyone to pin their hopes on the side of Team Save Western Civilization.

All politics now is System politics, which means all politics here and now belong to Satan, the Father of Lies.

Which leads to the ultimate point. Despite its declarations to the contrary, Team Save Western Civilization is "in on" the global totalitarian coup, and its main mission within the machinations of System politics has to do with keeping people psychologically and spiritually attuned to the System and its lies to prevent the manifestation of spiritual creativity and divine, creation-sustaining, Christian thinking.

Don't Pin Your Hopes on Team Save Western Civilization

5/21/2022

A triple-pecked colleague of mine recently lauded the Conservative Political Action Conference held in Budapest over the past couple of days. The event attracted conservatives from all over the world to the Hungarian capital where they outlined how they would to protect “God, homeland, family” from the insanity of leftist ideology.

My triple-pecked colleague declared the conference to be a good omen – a sign that a turning point had been reached. As far as he was concerned, the conference proved that Western Civilization could and would be saved after all.

This triple-pecked colleague of mine is – as Dr. Charlton has so memorably put it – married to the Psycho Hose Beast; he has zero awareness of the 2020 satanic global totalitarian coup:

. . . it is clear that most people did not recognize the 2020 coup at the time - but instead wholly accepted the birdemic cover story as a complete explanation for sudden, instant, universal totalitarianism.

And having failed to notice the biggest event in world history (i.e. the silent international coup to install a world government) - these people naturally do not take any significant action to disengage psychologically and spiritually; they fail even to remember 'what it was like'.

And indeed they have ended-up married to the Psycho Hose Beast that is The System.

People like my birdemic “immunity”-card carrying, Fidesz-voting, conservative-minded colleague are blind to the obvious – after decades of terminal decline, Western civilization has died. It died in 2020 when nearly everyone in the world “accepted the birdemic cover story as a complete explanation for sudden, instant, universal totalitarianism.”

I offhandedly mentioned this to my colleague, citing the Orbán government’s oppressive policies during the height of the birdemic, policies which trampled all over “God, Homeland, Family” and other supposed essential characteristics of Western civilization. My colleague looked at me as if I had suddenly begun speaking a different language, and it was at that moment that I realized how utterly irrational and pointless it was to speak of such things with people who are remain firmly committed to remaining married to the Psycho Hose Beast.

True to System form, people like my colleague continue to pin their hopes on Team Save Western Civilization. They truly believe that “conservative” politicians and organizations will ultimately right the ship while at the same time remaining ignorant of the reality that the ship has already sunk to the bottom of a deep, dark, and cold ocean.

More bluntly, people like colleague continue to invest hope into the hopeless.

Western Civilization ended in 2020. We have entered System Civilization. The peculiar thing about System Civilization is that it does not qualify as a civilization at all. Sure, it possesses the external characteristics of civilization – large population centers, written language, systems for administering territories, monumental architectural and “unique” art styles, social classes – but unlike conventional civilizations, System Civilization is steadfastly committed to using these external civilizational characteristics to destroy itself and inflict mass death and damnation upon its population.

During the course of our informal conversation, I happened to vaguely point this out to my triple-pecked conservative colleague. He responded by falling back upon the cui bono position. Who, he wondered, could possibly benefit from mass, civilizational-level destruction and death?

Who could benefit? I didn’t bother to provide an explanation because the explanation would not have made sense to him, and I very much doubt that the explanation would make sense to most people in the West, which is precisely why the West has died.

So, let’s forget about pinning our hopes on Team Save Western Civilization for the simple reason that Western Civilization is dead. What parades around as Team Save Western Civilization is merely an appendage of System Civilization, and despite all rhetoric to the contrary, System Civilization is anti-God, anti-Creation, and, ironically, anti-civilization.

On the one hand, the death of Western Civilization could be interpreted as an unsettling reality. On the other hand, it also offers the only real worldly hope we can nurture during these times – the possibility of resurrection.

However, physical resurrection must begin as a fundamentally spiritual act – raising a civilization from death requires raising the spirit of the civilization from death first.

Since the spirit of any civilization comprises individuals, the resurrection of individuals must precede the spiritual and physical resurrection of a dead civilization -- and this is where the focus should be.

This is no longer about stopping the destruction. It’s too late for that. The death has already occurred. The most Team Save Western Civilization can do at this point is protect the corpse from further mutilation.

As far as I can tell, that is all they aim to do because the “team” lacks the spiritual motivations needed to raise the civilizational “body” from death.

And that is why it is pointless and misguided to pin any hopes on Team Save Western Civilization.

I Confess -- My Heart Skipped a Beat

Scanning the news yesterday, I happened to stumble upon this alarming headline:

Stalin likely to head TN delegation to World Economic Forum Meet in Davos

I confess -- my heart skipped a beat. My first thought was that they had freeze-dried the ruthless Soviet dictator in the fifties and had somehow brought him back to life for the upcoming meeting. Luckily, it won't be Joseph attending the WEF powwow but Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin.

Just a thought, but if I were the Chief Minister, I would seriously consider changing my name. Then again, Stalin is most fitting for a WEF event. It also appears that the minister is doing his best to look like old Joseph. The WEF is bound to approve.

A Few Thoughts About the Inflation Situation

5/14/2022

1 Comment

Whenever I visit the grocery store these days, I’m reminded of a tweet William James Tychonievich featured on his blog:

William had to following to say about the tweet: "I swear this is an honest-to-God tweet from the White House, not a parody. They're literally boasting about how their "economic plan" is saving you 16 cents."

As ridiculous as that tweet was, saving that 16 cents would certainly be welcome now.

I don't personally know how the situation is in other parts of the world, but inflation here in Hungary is tearing through the country like a category five hurricane.

I did the math the other day and ruefully determined that the recent price hikes at the grocery store will gobble up about one extra month's worth of my gross salary over the course of the year if -- big if -- prices remain where they are and do not increase any further. Put simply, I'm a month's worth of pay poorer now.

When I add that to the birdemic-peck induced job loss I incurred back in October, I come to the realization that I’m actually about three or four months’ worth of salary poorer than I was at this time last year.

Before going on, I would like to stress that I share this personal information here purely for illustrative purposes, not to evoke worry or pity. Rest assured, my family is very far from being in dire straits, but that has little to do with the overall point I wish to make in this post.

Anyway, it goes without saying the rampant price increases here in Hungary are not limited to food. Everything else has also gone up. Some products have seen moderate ten or twenty percent hikes; others have literally doubled or tripled overnight. Every time I purchase something, I end up spending more on it and end up having less to save or to spend on something else.

You don't need a degree in economics to figure out where all of this is headed. You also don't need a degree in philosophy or political science to understand that this sort of financial pressure is part and parcel of the totalitarian demonic agenda that it went into full force after the 2020 global coup.

It is critical to remember that the demonic powers have re-calibrated the System into war mode. They will use every material means at their disposal to ramp up the demonic pressure, and they will not stop until they reach their double goal of destruction and damnation.

We as individuals may not be able to do much about the first demonic goal. The demons may very well succeed in bringing everything down and making life "materially" miserable for all. In the meantime, they will continue to ratchet up their material weapons to make life increasingly uncomfortable and difficult. With this in mind, it is imperative to remember where our focus should be.

As I mentioned above, the demonic agenda relies primarily on material weapons to attain spiritual ends. The material weapons are designed to instill worry, fear, hatred, desperation, depression, apathy, despair (etc.) to tug people toward the personal choice for damnation.

Only spiritual means can overcome the fear, hatred, desperation, depression, apathy, despair (etc.) the demonic agenda feverishly works to instill, which brings me to the larger point of this post: Concentrate on these spiritual means.

Here's one that is particularly pertinent to what we are facing today:

Don’t worry over earthly bread; focus on the bread of life.

Cuckoo Music

5/12/2022

Earlier this week in my post about tourist attractions, I contemplated what kind of tourist attraction I would build were I ever to get into the attraction business. The first idea that popped into my mind was "the world's largest cuckoo", which inspired me to immediately abandon my tourist attraction "dreams".

On the topic of cuckoos, they have returned to this part of the world. I heard the first cuckoo call on April 14. Since it's May now, the cuckoos remain loyal to the old nursery rhyme and dutifully sing all day, which continues to fill my heart with joy for reasons I cannot explain.

Thankfully, I am not the first person in the history of the world the cuckoos have charmed. Hat tip to "houska" for leaving the following musical link on my post about tourist attractions.

Are They In On It? Good Question

5/11/2022

4 Comments

AnteB left the following comment on the blog yesterday:

I wonder if the leaders of the Vodka Land/Fire Nation are in on the Global Establishments plans. I just find it remarkable that a large and destructive war is unleashed in Europe just as the birdemic is losing steam.

That's a good question -- a question for which I don't have a concrete answer. Nevertheless, I did leave the following thoughts in response to AnteB's comment:

I've considered both sides of the argument, and I have come to the conclusion that lesser evil is not Good. And as of now, Vodka Land is merely lesser evil. I don't know how "in" the war is to the Global Establishment's plans, but it certainly isn't hindering the overarching demonic goals in any way.

Furthermore, I think it's important to remember that all nations were in on the birdemic and are still "in" on it despite loosening measures. The Fire Nation is no exception here. They locked down, mandated to a certain degree, and even created their own peck. All nations, including the Fire Nation, are also in on the UN goals and other globalist agendas.

In addition, I think it is a mistake to assume that the birdemic is losing steam. They haven't been featuring it as prominently, true -- but this shouldn't be taken as a sign that the birdemic is over. It isn't over in the Middle Kingdom where they have locked down cities with populations that exceed some American states and European countries (which is also helping the Global Establishment's plans). It isn't over in Canada where they are not allowing anyone to get on a plane unless they are pecked.

At the end of the day, our discernment at this high level of geopolitics is mostly facile, but this doesn't negate the fact that nothing truly Good has happened at the geopolitical level. The agenda of destruction continues unabated.

We must make our assessments and then turn back to our own personal circumstances and concentrate on doing Good at the personal level by working from the inner toward the outer beyond the System.

I think the Fire Nation is lesser evil, and the forces opposing it are greater evil. Is lesser evil actively cooperating with greater evil? Perhaps it is. At the same time, it doesn't appear to be the case. Either way, that in and of itself does not make lesser evil "Good". As I noted above, the demonic agenda of destruction continues unabated, and our main task is to remain on the side of God and Creation.

In connection to the question, Dr. Charlton noted the following in an earlier post on the subject, which he suggested may be another litmus test:

With our experience of wave after wave of propaganda for evil over the past two years; one might have supposed that this astonishing rapidity, uniformity and extremity of the Mass Media response to the Fire Nation would have made it very obvious which was the greater, and which the lesser, evil.

And maybe that is exactly what it did...

Maybe this new Fire Nation Litmus Test is just that; I mean, not of-itself a cause of transferring Men's allegiance from God to the demonic; but instead simply a 'test' or indicator that reveals the truth about each Man.

Because anyone who knows that the world is ruled by evil Men in league with Satan (and if they don't recognize this fact by-now, then no proof will ever be sufficient) - who then sees in the Mass Media all of these evil Men (without exception) advocating a particular narrative - then knows that that view, that agenda must itself be evil by motivation. And more evil than the views which they oppose, suppress, demonize and punish (in a characteristically demonic frenzy - without limit or restraint).

Therefore we should not strive for neutrality - which is, anyway, impossible; but may quickly and simply make a choice to reject the greater evil. And indifference may also be impossible; in face of a expansile totalitarian (thus pan-social-system) campaign to make this Litmus Test issue unavoidable in public discourse and life.

But we should not, in our hearts, lose our grip upon what is, in fact, a facile discrimination.

Quiet Parts Out Loud; Loud Parts Not at All

5/10/2022

4 Comments

The Hungarian government has recently declared that it will veto the latest package of sanctions the EU wants to implement against Vodka Land claiming that the sanctions -- which include a total or near total embargo on oil -- would be tantamount to a nuclear bomb hitting the Hungarian economy.

Declarations such as these are described as "saying the quiet part out loud" in the sense that they reveal an ulterior motive. The EU promulgates its sanctions packages as "good and moral" things lobbed against an evil aggressor that must be hindered and stopped at all costs. At the same time, the EU carefully obfuscates the obvious: The sanctions will end up damaging Europe far more than the Land of the Balalaika. Moreover, that this is precisely what the sanctions are intended to do.

Thus, the Hungarian government is correct in its assessment of consequences as it states the quiet part out loud -- the sanctions really will be akin to a self-inflicted nuclear strike. Yet the Hungarian government fails to mention the "loud" part at all, which is that EU sanctions have been crafted to intentionally serve the cause of destroying worst first.

As usual, the Hungarian government has taken great pains to present itself as a voice of reason and sanity. In reality, Orbán et al. do not really oppose the cause of destroying worst first. Although they protest economic nuclear bombs, they have no qualms at all about the spiritual, psychological, and economic carpet bombing they inflicted upon Hungary for the better part of two years following the outbreak of the birdemic.

So much for bombs; so much for quiet and loud parts.

Look, the System is fully engaged in an acute phase of sabotage and destruction. Whatever happens, don't let it sabotage and destroy your soul.
