Carl Jung, the eminent Swiss psychiatrist and father of Depth Psychology, said:
The idea of an all-powerful divine Being is present everywhere, unconsciously if not consciously, because it is an archetype. There is in the psyche some superior power, and if it is not consciously a god, it is the "belly" at least, in St. Paul's words. I therefore consider it wiser to acknowledge the idea of God consciously, for, if we do not, something else is made God, usually something quite inappropriate and stupid such as only an "enlightened" intellect could hatch forth.
That’s about as secular a way to put it as you can get. You don’t have to see it that way though, but if you are a die-hard atheist, or someone who simply gives no credence to a “higher power,” Jung’s advice should be well considered. What is happening now in our culture is a clear example of Jung’s last words in this quote: it is wiser to acknowledge the idea of God consciously, or else something else is made God, usually something quite inappropriate and stupid…” Uh…yeah…isn’t that what I have been saying for two years now?
If a people do not accept the Creator as Sovereign, as their Supreme Ruler, as their Source of Rights, they must, perforce, locate sovereignty in some mortal man or in some man-made institution.
Logically, it has to be one or the other. If they locate sovereignty in government - a man-made institution - they have created an authoritarianism they must live with until they revoke it.
“If the religious instinct does not find its satiation in religious activity, it searches for what nourishment it can find elsewhere, in politics and business and education and, for that matter, within the confines of our private lives. Under such circumstances, everything becomes contaminated with unrecognized religious urgings and promptings and produces a zealotry whose intensity and danger is disproportionate to its putative cause. In consequence, it is now incumbent upon us all to engage in a most serious discussion about just what is Caesar’s and just what is God’s, understanding that some must be reserved for the latter, lest what is absolute and divine be attributed to the former.”
We are watching a large percentage of our nation shift in their allegiances from a spiritual world view and personal faith in God to a child-like trust in government. In the words of Blase Pascal, '“There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of each man which cannot be satisfied by any created thing but only by God the Creator, made known through Jesus Christ.” When a person loses sight of who they are in a biblical framework and what their purpose and value are, it's a great loss.
What you write here, coming from Jung, and coming from you, is completely true. It is also very interesting to understand the reasons why people need to look up to some human entity instead of God Almighty. I have been studying humanity for many years, as an anthropologist, teacher and counselor and I realize that the persuaded efforts by mentors, parents, peers and government from birth, have cuddled, coerced and captured the human psyche to act from an unconscious self-destructive need for others, who are so-called higher, wider, richer and more famous, while they unknowing sacrifice their autonomy in life. Without the humble embrace and reverence for the natural Divine world, the distance and delusion of being a disciple of some guru, billionaire or politician deprives and drives a good majority of people at an early age to become dependent for life on phony saviors whose purpose is just that.
The Conservatives are making a terrible mistake hammering only “ Christian values” and Christ in their narrative regarding society’s failure and cultural collapse. Though they refer to Judeo-Christian standards, prayer and “ religious freedom”, they ignore the very large Hindu population, Buddhism and other long established world religions that are extremely moral and intellectual, do not proselytize, have contributed greatly to civilized society and were also gleaned from in creating our Constitution. I’m Jewish, but fascinated by Hindu tenets and symbology. My daughter married the first American born son of Indian Hindu immigrants. We’re Jewish and there are many similar, compatible practices and core beliefs, but the Hindu religion isn’t one of war, violence, animal slaughter or judgment. It is more logical in the sense the individual is left to make conscience guided decisions , having been taught the mores necessary to guide their path. Karma being the outcome. I.e. everything you do will come back to you. Since they believe in reincarnation, you will reap what you’ve down in the next life, which isn’t necessarily in human form. It might be an insect, animal, but it is a constant continuum. Interestingly, Aldous Huxley became so fascinated by Hinduism, he converted.
The GOP is excluding an entire group that aligns with conservatism, but often voted Democrat because they are largely unrecognized and excluded from outreach.Made more obvious when I watch Fox News calculating the chances of Republican candidates in the 2024 primaries. They include people who haven’t announced and wouldn’t stand a chance as though valid. Name Nikki Haley and Asa Hutchinson as the announced candidates… and don’t even name Vivek Ramaswamy who announced his candidacy weeks ago on Tucker Carlson’s show. It’s disrespectful, disappointing and egregious. A brilliant, self made, young, vibrant minority with a beautiful family, the son of immigrants, a unique platform and given the opportunity to be seen and heard, attractive to younger, culturally modern, diverse voters, Independents, moderates, suburban women,Dems who are on the fence, but turned off by the homogenous and now insanely restrictive theocratic takeover of the Party. I don’t know what the hell is going on with Fox News, but they’ve become the 700 Club, but more fundamentalist and hyper-Christian than Pat Robertson. By comparison, Robertson is a heathen. Even he has spoken out about his disapproval for abortion bans and untenable restrictions, calling them cruel and overreaching.
Maybe it’s because our founding fathers were Christians, Gail. Our Constitution and inalienable rights named in the Declaration of Independence were derived from the Bible. The founding fathers included freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion. That is the problem of today. The total removal of any religion that is not government sanctioned is the goal. So all the religions you’re naming are at risk right now. If you don’t see that, just look at CCP and their treatment of Uighurs.
I also see Ramaswamy as an up and coming force. It is true that the GOP ignores other faiths largely as traditional while the Dems pander to all faiths because they have none. I really don't see the GOP with some sort of adherence to any sort of theocratic bent. They do pander to the religious right where values align. But Ramaswamy along with Yang make great sense and both would make great addition to the political body. It might make both parties see how insular they really are ending up with the same type of candidate.
Andrew Yang champions Basic Universal Income which is an affront to the dignity of human labor... and a tenet of communism. Buyer beware of millionaire/billionaires who advocate handing out subsistence living to the masses. The United Staes was founded ... and built... on an honest work ethic and a modicum of self-sufficiency.
At least he has ideas. UBI has some utility. Of course, such things would be unimaginable in America of old when being on the government dole was shameful. No longer, we have a society that praises that and has developed a disdain for honest labor. I never got an Obama phone from his stash. I must look into that because I am being discriminated against. Actually I buy my older iPhones from eBay, perfectly adequate.
The Dems are a death cult. Soulless and hate filled. If the GOP was smart, which they (it) are not,widening the tent and coming to terms with the fact culture changes over time and “Father Knows Best” , “ Little House On The Prairie” and “ The Andy Griffith Show” were cancelled long ago. Including reruns. And classic rock, Motown and punk are still really cool and one needn’t be a lazy, promiscuous, drug crazed, Commie, godless hippie weirdo to enjoy it.That Thomas Kincade paintings and giclees of cottages with green moss puked all over them and bookcases minus literature but for a Bible, Reagan’s biography, patriotic memorabilia and religiosity might be their way of proving patriotism, but digging Dali’, Nabokov,Jung,Bradbury,Hesse,Huxley,Martin Cruz-Smith and the freaking Kama Sutra, crystals and a slinky and still be a Constitutionally adnerent American Patriot. There are only so many middle aged to elderly homogenous Southerners and Kansans that can be counted on to vote for Mitch, Mike Lee, Marcia Blackburn, Tate Reeves ,Kay Ivey, Markwayne Mullins , Dan Patrick and Mike DeWine.
Both parties suck and have canceled out 65% of America. The people who aren’t criminals, pay their taxes, aren’t extreme, can’t stand the constant drama, wars, labels, preaching, shit show performances, empty promise, stalemates, mandates, hysteria , corruption and want to be left the hell alone to live their lives as best they’re able.
Wow. It’s super clear what demographic you hate. You ever consider that that demographic -- like you -- has a right to vote for their representation? This reads as if you just have a personal ax to grind -- “Can’t those old, white Christians just hurry up and die already? Then the country will finally be great!”
Pay no attention to the fact that Christianity (and its principles of law, economics, and human rights) has made the West the envy of the world in terms of personal freedom and standard of living. Curious that those old, white Christians have been the historical majority in a place where millions of non-white people have been willing to risk life, limb, and fortune to immigrate to. Floridians aren’t turning garbage into makeshift rafts to get to Cuba, y’know.
You're Jewish? But not orthodox? I was so disappointed to discover that Tel Aviv was considered the gay capitol of the world a few years back. It's messed up that "Jewish" can refer to an ethnic group and /or a religion. At any rate, while the culture may change, God doesn't change. The current consensus of who God is doesn't change Him into that. And there is nothing wrong with prosyletizing. In fact, as an atheist opined recently, "...if Christians truly believe that their belief system is the only way to heaven, and all others are going to hell... If one don't evangelize to you at least a little bit, they must really hate you."
The Jewish people were "chosen" to be the group through which the Messiah would come. As Messiah, Yehoshua (Jesus) is "The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to The Father except through Me." Yes, it is extremely exclusionary. However, everyone is welcome to join in with this belief system.
“Father Knows Best” , “ Little House On The Prairie” and “ The Andy Griffith Show” weren't actually canceled. They're just not on Primetime anymore. I still watch them, and particularly enjoy "Leave it to Beaver."
Some truth within that screed. OTOH, I'm quite old (83) and have long appreciated things you dig. Don't know why you might think we are all the same. My friends who also happen to agree about limited government don't present as your screed suggests. Most of our efforts go against the grain of my state which is trending to one-party Democrat where government gifts are their Gods.
The "extremely moral and intellectual" nature of Buddhism, of course, was on display recently, when a certain well-known saffron robe wearer requested a young boy suck his tongue, and then had to apologize for his thinly-veiled public display of pedophila.
We noticed Buddhism's "extremely moral stance" recently when its main protagonist asked a young boy previously unknown to him to suck his tongue.
But as a jew, you are renowned for your twisted approach to morality; your favourite judaic heroes openly stating that "Even the best of the Gentiles should be killed."
Thanks, nothing really original from me just parts of articles I have cut and paste from over the last 3 years that have resonated with me and helped to understand what has been happening. Part of it from the book Why Not Try Freedom by Leonard Read under the section, Causes of Authoritarianism.
Wow! This is the first I’ve read what Jung wrote. Thank you for sharing this! In my own observations I’ve supposed the same, but I’m biased from my belief in God as the sovereign power. Seeing a renown psychiatrist validate & affirm the religious nature of mankind is awesome and opens the door to discussion among more than just the religious on this topic - I have believed that no one but the religious would be interested in talking about this, so this is encouraging. Some in Christianity call it a “God-shaped hole” that each of us has and they say if we don’t fill it with God, we’ll fill it with something else, and this is exactly what Jung is saying. Wow, lots to chew on here. Thank you!
Indeed. The belief in the Magical ‘vaccines’ , masks and hand washing certainly was religious. Why on earth do parents still send their children to such an abusive school? Montessori schools are not usually like that.
That’s exactly what I thought…what kinds of parents are sending their children to a school like this? What other abuses are these children experiencing? I wonder how this abuse has affected them already and how will it affect who they will become. It’s sad to think about.
This is the issue I can’t seem to reconcile. Parents sacrificing their own children. I see it every day. Parents allowing their children to go on social media, to play video games, to spend all their free time being manipulated by evil through screens. The studies have shown for decades that this is destroying the mental health of our children yet it is widely accepted as the norm. Why are people having children if they are going to let someone else raise them and poison their minds? Makes no sense to me. That is not love.
It has struck me also that many of the professionals who have been treating COVID with appropriate medicines, vitamins, minerals, and supplements, and/or have neen speaking out about the vaccine dangers, are strong believers in God. Many of them also believe in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
I think the primary reason they acted is because they were probably taught when young that God and Jesus expect us to sometimes sacrifice in order to help others, especially when we have unique skills that can (1) save others from death or serious harm, or (2) help others through death or harm with a particular grace and love.
I added the second one because I am both disappointed and angry that the majority of America's priests, bishops, pastors, ministers, rabiis, and other religious leaders did essentially nothing to minister to the people who ended up having to die completely alone in the hospitals and elderly care homes. I was taught that our "religious" would never abandon the sick and dying, and yet they did. I was shocked at this, as I was shocked at the medical professionals.
I mostly agree, Jennifer, but I know personally of a couple priests who literally "dropped everything" and immediately went to administer to more than one person when they learned they were heading to the hospital ER's. Meeting them before they entered (priests were unable to enter the Covid Temples) and anointing them in the parking lot. Also, these few did not require the masks although some of their more paranoid parishioners did maintain them. They were all cognizant that there might even be a "spy" among the congregants but still made no attempt to play the theatrical role imposed on them. But, yeah, a lot of faithless priests showed their alliance. Sad for them, they need prayers because there is more to come....
Yes, there were a few. They were wonderful. I would argue that the rest should have "fought" (not literally) to get inside the hospital. Some people did that successfully putting pressure on the hospital administration and use of attorneys and the courts. That's what our "religious" should have been doing. They could have donned their cassocks and collars and carried signs in a circuling protest outside the hospitals. 99% probably spent their "time off" from conducting services and ministering to parishioners bt catching up on their reading.
Jennifer, have you been following Dr. Aaron Kheriaty's Substack posts? Just today he released "part 2" of a conversation he had with a few excellent thinkers of just this subject matter: how the religious leaders should have behaved. One of those in the conversation is Douglas Farrow and he has also written an excellent (25 page) well-thought out essay entitled "We Are Not Innocent". I cannot recommend it enough. I printed it out so that I can keep a hard copy to accompany some of the other publications on this madness for "proof" 20 years from now when they try to re-write the truth. Feel free to tap my "icon-not-an-icon" and find their substacks if you are interested.
Well, on the layered circle next to my name on substack responses. Your icon has what I am assuming is your photo. If you tap that it will give you a list of all the substacks I subscribe to. I am now almost done listening to part 2. It is so edifying.
If I remember correctly, there are photos of Dr. Fauci with the pope. Years of planning, I’ve gone onto this crime against humanity. Let’s not forget the Vatican is run by Jesuits, and the Vatican, aided the Nazis.
NO DOUBTS about the Rothschilds (Meyer Family) of the Bank for International Settlements with all their Central Banker Cartel Families being VERY PLEASED with all the contraband sucked out of the 'American Middle Class Cash Cow' by way of LAUNDERED TAXPAYER DOLLARS to fill the Fascist Financier's Dossiers.
What kind of loving parent allows their child to attend a Montessori School perpetrating such abuse? Any parent tolerating such travesty enacted onto their child really must be assessed for Mental Health purposes. Impossible to imagine such people to allow this...But, even more stunning to think about injecting any child with this Ai/Bio Nanotechweapon they RE-IMAGINED a Vaccine. WOW!!!
THIS HONOURS ALL THOSE HUMAN BEINGS WHO HAVE SUFFERED LONG BEFORE THIS COVID SCAM.
Also gives info on restoring the health of the bowel.
I write this on BEHALF of ALL the HUMAN BEINGS who are ignored by Medical and other parties, to this day. These human beings have for many years dealt with health affected by the air borne, vaccines, GMO foods etc., MANY who had EXCELLENT Health all their lives, monitoring in every respect their and heir families health meticulously.
THERE IS ALREADY A PATTERN OF AUTOIMMUNE DISORDERS (a diagnosis that only falteringly came into being in the 2000s). Drs can still be unaware of it, and their training does not encourage independent thinking and "putting the puzzle together".
You do NOT need Dr S Hazan to inform you of the effects of Jabs on the Gut/ microbiomes.
Ask/do research with these HUMAN BEINGS who have already been used as UNKNOWING LAB RATS since the 1980s especially - HIV- in the "recipe" which is still in the Vaccines. I am sure your Dr Judy Mikovits can confirm what I state here. Dr Fauci can verify.
So many people with Auto Immune Systems affected, as they were/are unsuspecting Lab Rats.
Drs with their 1910 Flexner Report/Rockefeller funded/Carnegie Inst., and then that Report/influence in the Universities carried on by Big Pharma and others.
Those same human beings with a myriad of health problems - the same health problems as the Jabbed humans now, but now its a more deadly version, "gift" wrapped in the "spike" Jab.
I know of an Australian woman who has 80 titanium staples in her intestines /operation) - caused before the Jabs. $$$$
CAN I SUGGEST that the children are given L-Glutamine? I do not know of dosages and ages sensitivities so maybe an Orthomolecular Dr can advise with this aspect.
I do know that when I had my first ever COLONOSCOPY (2001) that I was informed i had moderate DIVERTICULITIS, (Dr wanted to know what was causing my CFS and other signs and symptoms of sudden debilitating health.
Before a colonoscopy 2015, in desperation I treated myself with L-Glutamine BEFORE having a second (2nd) Colonoscopy, and the 63 year old Gastroenterologist who was given the previous 2001 Report, said with a very puzzled look on his face after the 2015 Colonoscopy "I cannot see ANY Diverticulitis, I have looked in the folds" still shaking his head. Typically he never asked me what had I been doing.
With much care since, I eat healthy food and what I like without repercussions. Using food based synergised approaches to treat myself.
Methodist church in Cape Town, South Africa, draped itself with a banner that explicitly announced "The blood of Jesus will not save you from Covid"
I was raised in the Methodist church. Utterly useless. All I heard about back then was Vietnam and other social(ist) issues.
Fact is, the blood of Jesus is not meant to "save us from Covid." Unknown to these non-savants, **we all die*** at one point or another. The blood of Jesus saves me from the penalty of my sins before a just and holy God, and does eventuate in eternal life.
I don't get it with this poster. Did they think we thought that claiming the blood of Jesus - which I do - would save me from Covid... or cancer (which I have had), or for that matter bad breath or body odor?
I am utterly sick of liberal, unbiblical, unChristian fake Christianity. It has as much do do with real Christianity as CNN has to do with real news.
Fact is, as Chesterton purportedly noted, when men cease to believe in God, they don't believe in nothing, but ANYTHING. And political correctness seems to have replaced Molech in that regard
I’m surprised a Montessori school would do this. But I am even more concerned about parents that would go along with it. A few days ago in a doctor’s office, I spoke to a woman in her 20’s who worked there. She was still wearing a mask and told me: “Well, I got used to it. I like it. And last winter I did not get sick so it worked.” It ‘worked’? What worked was the brainwashing.
That doesn’t sound like the Montessori schools I’ve had experiences-from my children attending to subbing at other schools. But it was about 48 years ago!
What surprised me during Covid masking mania were places I thought would be lax and ignore enforcing it. Trader Joes, Local Organic Food Co-op, library. As it turned out they were the most intense and crazy. Basically, those with a strong democrat ideology were the ones who rolled over for the narrative. It gave me quite a turn. I looked up the Montessori School philosophy. Basically it read, 'The Montessori method of education is a non-traditional approach to learning that focuses on fostering a sense of independence and personal development in the classroom.' Forced compliance to unproven mandates was a betrayal of what they once believed.
Really, you were surprised those with a strong Democrat Ideology rolled over for the narrative? Here's a stark reality check. If someone possesses a 'strong ideology' for Democrat, or Republican, they're likely firmly captured by a narrative.
In the case of stores, I am not sure it was a political ideology that motivated them to be intense. I think it may have been the Board of Health and the concern that some patrons would turn them in.
Either way, I did not go into public stores or businesses where I was told to wear a mask. The Board of Health are managed by politics. Yes, I recall tattling and contract tracing was considered. Also, there was the constant vilification of those who were not complying. Our government with the media likes to fan fear, compliance, and create dichotomies between people.
I think masks go to John's point about faux religion. My friend, who is blue pill mostly, a staunch atheist (loony Lutheran grandmother), told me he was panicked as he forgot his mask and had to shop. (We have 9 layer copper ion masks from Israel, but I doubt they work either). I said "you know they don't work don't you?" And he said he knew that but they made him feel safer, like a talisman to manage terror, a rabbit's foot, a lucky charm. Fear probably sends us back into superstition and that is capitalized on by the new faux religiosity. Meryl Nass' substack is on how Biden just gave five billion to pharma to develop Next Gen vaccines, so they are not quitting.
It is The Church of Covidianity, The Mask is The Crucifix and the "vaccine is The Sacrament". This is as described by Patrick Henningsen of 21stcenturywire.com way back in 2020 or early 2021.
Many years ago I came across the theory that the bizarre behavior observed in Salem was caused by having eaten, or been involved in the cultivation of a wheat crop that was contaminated with Ergot.
I had told a friend who was finishing Med School during the height of Covid non-treatment madness, "the doctors (that refused to treat) were worse than Dr. Mengele." "At least he was a true believer, in a sick, depraved, inhuman cause. The "Let them Die" Doctors did it to protect their licenses and their Mercedes." They could have been such heros. Their names could have been lessons for all future Med students. Instead the 99% cut and ran. It is a tragedy when an opportunity for greatness arises I one's life, the pinnacle of one's life, and they failed. How many lives would have been saved from the disease and the hell the shots have wrought if ALL Doctors did aggressive and open early treatments? Sadly we will never know.
Great article the last few paragraphs alluded to,

Yes, in this way Covid has been a revelation for me in my understanding and development

Really? Ironic as we have that “ Demographic in our family and circle of friends as well. Everybody deserves a voice and to be heard and respected.
Understand that the key to everything Gail says, is "I am a jew."
They only have one agenda; the genocide of all they call "goyim," and the eradication of Christ - they've never changed.
You're Jewish? But not orthodox? I was so disappointed to discover that Tel Aviv was considered the gay capitol of the world a few years back. It's messed up that "Jewish" can refer to an ethnic group and /or a religion. At any rate, while the culture may change, God doesn't change. The current consensus of who God is doesn't change Him into that. And there is nothing wrong with prosyletizing. In fact, as an atheist opined recently, "...if Christians truly believe that their belief system is the only way to heaven, and all others are going to hell... If one don't evangelize to you at least a little bit, they must really hate you."
The Jewish people were "chosen" to be the group through which the Messiah would come. As Messiah, Yehoshua (Jesus) is "The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to The Father except through Me." Yes, it is extremely exclusionary. However, everyone is welcome to join in with this belief system.
Stifling of Free Speech is yet another means to an end for those who hate Christianity.
Jewish people, as they admit privately amongst themselves, are complete frauds and satanists, and Edomites, not Israelites.
The only thing they were "chosen" for was to be bundled up and burned with unquenchable fire.
Note that it is prophesied that "Jerusalem would be trodden down by the Gentiles" until Christ returns - jews aren't even semites, let alone chosen.
See Genesis 10, 3.
“Father Knows Best” , “ Little House On The Prairie” and “ The Andy Griffith Show” weren't actually canceled. They're just not on Primetime anymore. I still watch them, and particularly enjoy "Leave it to Beaver."
Some truth within that screed. OTOH, I'm quite old (83) and have long appreciated things you dig. Don't know why you might think we are all the same. My friends who also happen to agree about limited government don't present as your screed suggests. Most of our efforts go against the grain of my state which is trending to one-party Democrat where government gifts are their Gods.
The "extremely moral and intellectual" nature of Buddhism, of course, was on display recently, when a certain well-known saffron robe wearer requested a young boy suck his tongue, and then had to apologize for his thinly-veiled public display of pedophila.
We noticed Buddhism's "extremely moral stance" recently when its main protagonist asked a young boy previously unknown to him to suck his tongue.
But as a jew, you are renowned for your twisted approach to morality; your favourite judaic heroes openly stating that "Even the best of the Gentiles should be killed."
Wow. Well presented and correlated. Thx for the effort etc. too many great points......
Thanks, nothing really original from me just parts of articles I have cut and paste from over the last 3 years that have resonated with me and helped to understand what has been happening. Part of it from the book Why Not Try Freedom by Leonard Read under the section, Causes of Authoritarianism.
Well said.
Brilliant.
Wow! This is the first I’ve read what Jung wrote. Thank you for sharing this! In my own observations I’ve supposed the same, but I’m biased from my belief in God as the sovereign power. Seeing a renown psychiatrist validate & affirm the religious nature of mankind is awesome and opens the door to discussion among more than just the religious on this topic - I have believed that no one but the religious would be interested in talking about this, so this is encouraging. Some in Christianity call it a “God-shaped hole” that each of us has and they say if we don’t fill it with God, we’ll fill it with something else, and this is exactly what Jung is saying. Wow, lots to chew on here. Thank you!
Indeed. The belief in the Magical ‘vaccines’ , masks and hand washing certainly was religious. Why on earth do parents still send their children to such an abusive school? Montessori schools are not usually like that.
Ha, why do people do so many bizarre things today??
I know, it’s weird, isn’t it?
That’s exactly what I thought…what kinds of parents are sending their children to a school like this? What other abuses are these children experiencing? I wonder how this abuse has affected them already and how will it affect who they will become. It’s sad to think about.
It's a bit frightening really.
What kind of parents would subject their children to this abuse? This is sick and twisted, cruel, and inhumane.
This is the issue I can’t seem to reconcile. Parents sacrificing their own children. I see it every day. Parents allowing their children to go on social media, to play video games, to spend all their free time being manipulated by evil through screens. The studies have shown for decades that this is destroying the mental health of our children yet it is widely accepted as the norm. Why are people having children if they are going to let someone else raise them and poison their minds? Makes no sense to me. That is not love.
...the new face of child abuse parading as virtue....leading tots into anoxia and communication disorders....not to mention rsv...Save us oh Lord
It has struck me also that many of the professionals who have been treating COVID with appropriate medicines, vitamins, minerals, and supplements, and/or have neen speaking out about the vaccine dangers, are strong believers in God. Many of them also believe in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
I think the primary reason they acted is because they were probably taught when young that God and Jesus expect us to sometimes sacrifice in order to help others, especially when we have unique skills that can (1) save others from death or serious harm, or (2) help others through death or harm with a particular grace and love.
I added the second one because I am both disappointed and angry that the majority of America's priests, bishops, pastors, ministers, rabiis, and other religious leaders did essentially nothing to minister to the people who ended up having to die completely alone in the hospitals and elderly care homes. I was taught that our "religious" would never abandon the sick and dying, and yet they did. I was shocked at this, as I was shocked at the medical professionals.
I mostly agree, Jennifer, but I know personally of a couple priests who literally "dropped everything" and immediately went to administer to more than one person when they learned they were heading to the hospital ER's. Meeting them before they entered (priests were unable to enter the Covid Temples) and anointing them in the parking lot. Also, these few did not require the masks although some of their more paranoid parishioners did maintain them. They were all cognizant that there might even be a "spy" among the congregants but still made no attempt to play the theatrical role imposed on them. But, yeah, a lot of faithless priests showed their alliance. Sad for them, they need prayers because there is more to come....
Yes, there were a few. They were wonderful. I would argue that the rest should have "fought" (not literally) to get inside the hospital. Some people did that successfully putting pressure on the hospital administration and use of attorneys and the courts. That's what our "religious" should have been doing. They could have donned their cassocks and collars and carried signs in a circuling protest outside the hospitals. 99% probably spent their "time off" from conducting services and ministering to parishioners bt catching up on their reading.
Jennifer, have you been following Dr. Aaron Kheriaty's Substack posts? Just today he released "part 2" of a conversation he had with a few excellent thinkers of just this subject matter: how the religious leaders should have behaved. One of those in the conversation is Douglas Farrow and he has also written an excellent (25 page) well-thought out essay entitled "We Are Not Innocent". I cannot recommend it enough. I printed it out so that I can keep a hard copy to accompany some of the other publications on this madness for "proof" 20 years from now when they try to re-write the truth. Feel free to tap my "icon-not-an-icon" and find their substacks if you are interested.
I am taking a look at the "We Are NOT Innocent." Thank you!
Cool. What do you mean by your icon not an icon?
Well, on the layered circle next to my name on substack responses. Your icon has what I am assuming is your photo. If you tap that it will give you a list of all the substacks I subscribe to. I am now almost done listening to part 2. It is so edifying.
Wow, that was fast, John! Fun to see this idea sprout from a seedling so quickly.
A Midwestern Doctor has been exploring the Salem Witch Trials and their bearing on today’s religious manias if you haven’t yet read this:

If I remember correctly, there are photos of Dr. Fauci with the pope. Years of planning, I’ve gone onto this crime against humanity. Let’s not forget the Vatican is run by Jesuits, and the Vatican, aided the Nazis.
Jesuits involved since the beginning,
Rupert Murdoch and and 2nd wife Anna, were "knighted" in the Vatican.
I do not think Rupert is a Catholic.
Before the birth of Jesus this commenced.
Chelsea Clinton in the Vatican after Covid
Hitler? Seriously? Unbeknownst to me.

NO DOUBTS about the Rothschilds (Meyer Family) of the Bank for International Settlements with all their Central Banker Cartel Families being VERY PLEASED with all the contraband sucked out of the 'American Middle Class Cash Cow' by way of LAUNDERED TAXPAYER DOLLARS to fill the Fascist Financier's Dossiers.
What kind of loving parent allows their child to attend a Montessori School perpetrating such abuse? Any parent tolerating such travesty enacted onto their child really must be assessed for Mental Health purposes. Impossible to imagine such people to allow this...But, even more stunning to think about injecting any child with this Ai/Bio Nanotechweapon they RE-IMAGINED a Vaccine. WOW!!!
Saddest part is that all those kiddos are probably boosted by now. Their parents are true Covidians.
Poor, poor little ones...The gut microbiome destroyed...
Even babies in the womb or nursed with injected Mothers
exhibit dead microbiome in the gut and can't fight disease
or digest food properly. New research out from a Dr. Sabine Hazan
leading to hypothesis of actual attack to be on gut microbiome
causing all kinds of chronic diseases across the spectrum.
Info BANNED these last two weeks from Twitter and Tic Toc
so we know she's hit upon the true purpose of the injections.
Attack is on the microbiome of the gut keeping us healthy
that we die without.
THIS HONOURS ALL THOSE HUMAN BEINGS WHO HAVE SUFFERED LONG BEFORE THIS COVID SCAM.
Also gives info on restoring the health of the bowel.
I write this on BEHALF of ALL the HUMAN BEINGS who are ignored by Medical and other parties, to this day. These human beings have for many years dealt with health affected by the air borne, vaccines, GMO foods etc., MANY who had EXCELLENT Health all their lives, monitoring in every respect their and heir families health meticulously.
THERE IS ALREADY A PATTERN OF AUTOIMMUNE DISORDERS (a diagnosis that only falteringly came into being in the 2000s). Drs can still be unaware of it, and their training does not encourage independent thinking and "putting the puzzle together".
You do NOT need Dr S Hazan to inform you of the effects of Jabs on the Gut/ microbiomes.
Ask/do research with these HUMAN BEINGS who have already been used as UNKNOWING LAB RATS since the 1980s especially - HIV- in the "recipe" which is still in the Vaccines. I am sure your Dr Judy Mikovits can confirm what I state here. Dr Fauci can verify.
So many people with Auto Immune Systems affected, as they were/are unsuspecting Lab Rats.
Drs with their 1910 Flexner Report/Rockefeller funded/Carnegie Inst., and then that Report/influence in the Universities carried on by Big Pharma and others.
Those same human beings with a myriad of health problems - the same health problems as the Jabbed humans now, but now its a more deadly version, "gift" wrapped in the "spike" Jab.
I know of an Australian woman who has 80 titanium staples in her intestines /operation) - caused before the Jabs. $$$$
CAN I SUGGEST that the children are given L-Glutamine? I do not know of dosages and ages sensitivities so maybe an Orthomolecular Dr can advise with this aspect.
I do know that when I had my first ever COLONOSCOPY (2001) that I was informed i had moderate DIVERTICULITIS, (Dr wanted to know what was causing my CFS and other signs and symptoms of sudden debilitating health.
Before a colonoscopy 2015, in desperation I treated myself with L-Glutamine BEFORE having a second (2nd) Colonoscopy, and the 63 year old Gastroenterologist who was given the previous 2001 Report, said with a very puzzled look on his face after the 2015 Colonoscopy "I cannot see ANY Diverticulitis, I have looked in the folds" still shaking his head. Typically he never asked me what had I been doing.
With much care since, I eat healthy food and what I like without repercussions. Using food based synergised approaches to treat myself.
Congrats on your return to good health.
We take L-Glutamine as a stack with other amino acids
and eat fermented foods, vinegar-based dressings, healthy fats.
What you've said is important...The health of the world is important.
Thing is...The Psycho-Predators wish MONOPOLY upon food
and to feed the world sickening diets. Seeds are not all patented
and created to produce food with no nutrition.
Hope you have farmers in your neighborhood raising healthy food
from Heirloom Seeds with Pasture Grass Fed Meat Sources...
Thanks for sharing. Very helpful.

Methodist church in Cape Town, South Africa, draped itself with a banner that explicitly announced "The blood of Jesus will not save you from Covid"
I was raised in the Methodist church. Utterly useless. All I heard about back then was Vietnam and other social(ist) issues.
Fact is, the blood of Jesus is not meant to "save us from Covid." Unknown to these non-savants, **we all die*** at one point or another. The blood of Jesus saves me from the penalty of my sins before a just and holy God, and does eventuate in eternal life.
I don't get it with this poster. Did they think we thought that claiming the blood of Jesus - which I do - would save me from Covid... or cancer (which I have had), or for that matter bad breath or body odor?
I am utterly sick of liberal, unbiblical, unChristian fake Christianity. It has as much do do with real Christianity as CNN has to do with real news.
Fact is, as Chesterton purportedly noted, when men cease to believe in God, they don't believe in nothing, but ANYTHING. And political correctness seems to have replaced Molech in that regard
I’m surprised a Montessori school would do this. But I am even more concerned about parents that would go along with it. A few days ago in a doctor’s office, I spoke to a woman in her 20’s who worked there. She was still wearing a mask and told me: “Well, I got used to it. I like it. And last winter I did not get sick so it worked.” It ‘worked’? What worked was the brainwashing.
Well said! The religious fervor extends to environmentalism, global warming, and gender reassignment.
The cult is a hard habit to break......
That doesn’t sound like the Montessori schools I’ve had experiences-from my children attending to subbing at other schools. But it was about 48 years ago!
What surprised me during Covid masking mania were places I thought would be lax and ignore enforcing it. Trader Joes, Local Organic Food Co-op, library. As it turned out they were the most intense and crazy. Basically, those with a strong democrat ideology were the ones who rolled over for the narrative. It gave me quite a turn. I looked up the Montessori School philosophy. Basically it read, 'The Montessori method of education is a non-traditional approach to learning that focuses on fostering a sense of independence and personal development in the classroom.' Forced compliance to unproven mandates was a betrayal of what they once believed.
Really, you were surprised those with a strong Democrat Ideology rolled over for the narrative? Here's a stark reality check. If someone possesses a 'strong ideology' for Democrat, or Republican, they're likely firmly captured by a narrative.
👆
MONEY speaks MANY LANGUAGES
In the case of stores, I am not sure it was a political ideology that motivated them to be intense. I think it may have been the Board of Health and the concern that some patrons would turn them in.
Either way, I did not go into public stores or businesses where I was told to wear a mask. The Board of Health are managed by politics. Yes, I recall tattling and contract tracing was considered. Also, there was the constant vilification of those who were not complying. Our government with the media likes to fan fear, compliance, and create dichotomies between people.
I think masks go to John's point about faux religion. My friend, who is blue pill mostly, a staunch atheist (loony Lutheran grandmother), told me he was panicked as he forgot his mask and had to shop. (We have 9 layer copper ion masks from Israel, but I doubt they work either). I said "you know they don't work don't you?" And he said he knew that but they made him feel safer, like a talisman to manage terror, a rabbit's foot, a lucky charm. Fear probably sends us back into superstition and that is capitalized on by the new faux religiosity. Meryl Nass' substack is on how Biden just gave five billion to pharma to develop Next Gen vaccines, so they are not quitting.
It is The Church of Covidianity, The Mask is The Crucifix and the "vaccine is The Sacrament". This is as described by Patrick Henningsen of 21stcenturywire.com way back in 2020 or early 2021.
Many years ago I came across the theory that the bizarre behavior observed in Salem was caused by having eaten, or been involved in the cultivation of a wheat crop that was contaminated with Ergot.
I had told a friend who was finishing Med School during the height of Covid non-treatment madness, "the doctors (that refused to treat) were worse than Dr. Mengele." "At least he was a true believer, in a sick, depraved, inhuman cause. The "Let them Die" Doctors did it to protect their licenses and their Mercedes." They could have been such heros. Their names could have been lessons for all future Med students. Instead the 99% cut and ran. It is a tragedy when an opportunity for greatness arises I one's life, the pinnacle of one's life, and they failed. How many lives would have been saved from the disease and the hell the shots have wrought if ALL Doctors did aggressive and open early treatments? Sadly we will never know.
TRAGICALLY and SICKENINGLY TRUE!
