¶ Throne Rooms Of Self Admiration & Praise Addiction!
That dreaded phone face; the ubiquitous face plant into the device is all about Social Media. The Internet is analogous to food; there are a lot of variety of foods. But, it is (analogously) all food; that is, it is eatable and will be processed as such, by the body.
But that does not mean that all food is created equal, once it has been eaten. When the body processes organic broccoli and salmon, the results over time are vastly different than when it constantly processes donuts and hot dogs. That bodily Temple will starve, even while feeling full; disease will be the final tell!
Meta Corp products are unimaginably toxic; they are big and damaging, but for one of two reasons; the first is that people are so ignorant they innocently consume these products, even though they are not even a necessary function of Earth life (study humanity from 100K BC through 2010 AD for the empiricism); or two, participants are malevolent and work alongside the demons they are guided by.
To target smartphones as the cause of all the mental issues coming from the Internet, is to blame all food for physical ailments that come from diet. Phones and the Internet were/are great without Social Media, or other mental gaming paradigms. As a tool it can even be essential, especially here in the Eschaton Era.
This car–free elder has one ; I use mine with open source apps , mainly for navigation and communication: talk/text; ID verification; calculator; Maps; Relive ; the Proton Suite ; weather ; transit ; WEA . It is my no–stream music player via Musicolet ; a 1TB SD card also holds all photos and videos.
But no Social Media apps or accounts; there is nothing on it I must constantly monitor; nothing that distracts me. Like my hammer in its holster, my phone is just a convenient electronic tool that serves me; I do not serve it! And you may be reading this from a web page; I use the Firefox browser app (w uBlock Origin ) and its Web Apps .
Social Media as an audience seeking platform, thrives on abject narcissism ; it also profits from conflict and division; the evidence is too overwhelming to intelligently debate. At the time of this update (Fall 24), the recent exodus from TwitX to rival Bluesky is compound evidence supporting the fact that addiction to Social Media is powerful.
One might ask: Why not just quit Social Media? Answer: Addiction! A liquor store closing does not end the addiction; the addict will just travel further to another one.
Social Media is a mirror of the lowest common denominator, possible in the human condition. It has always thrived monetarily on the carnality of the human species; pitting humans against one another for profit. Without YHVH Love as the root of life and the defining measure, humans remain little more than primates with linguistic skills. Social Media is a production of Satan's human masses, as a modern weapon for sowing discord among the species.
Love Is Holy; Hate is Evil !!
Social Media is no different to the Elect of YHVH, than any other worldly things, found inside the tiny boxes of human Enculturation : Except, it is public and global; an open testimonial; a witness; a public monument; an exhibition; it is that proverbial fruit on the tree (Matt 7 :15–20), which can be clearly seen by those with Spiritual sight; all Messianic disciples (Luke 14 :25–35). The World however, are blinded to all things Spiritual and thus eternal (John 9 :39; 2nd Tim 3 :1–5; 2Co 4 :1–4; 1st John 2 :15–17).
Notice the word usage here, because the christianized or the churched are not Messianic disciples, and as such, they are not in an epochal , lifestyle–altering, profound, marriage–level, daily–dying, deeply personal relationship with YHVH, through the auspices of Ruach HaKodesh , which can occur, only as a result of unconditional surrender unto the supreme and eternal Lordship of Messiah Yeshua. There is a difference between christians and Messianic disciples .
Satan's Earthly Trinity Is Economics & Politics & Religion !!
Among all the religions, Satan weaponizes Christendom primarily due to the association with the Messianic Cross. But none the religious have a direct connection with The Creator of all, Adonai our Elohim: YHVH! This is one item among the vast evidence–pool supporting this.
Consequently, the religious are guided by all the things that guide the bulk of the human species. Satan's internal trinity of pride–ego–emotion exposes itself further, via its byproducts of fear–anger and self-righteousness outgassing from cognitive dissonance .
These are all exhibited in virtually everything; nearly all Earth life (infected by the human infestation) is the summary of it. They are trapped in Satan's trinities, just like the rest of the World ; why they are as subjected to Social Media as are the rest of the Soulless automaton–drones. The death, or destruction, or distraction, by misinformation and disinformation, is their normalization. All liars are doomed; they are no different than murderers; every lie is equal to a murder (Rev 21 ).
I can spare you the time it will take to get through this meat, and say this upfront: There are no Spiritually transformed, Heaven–destined humans on Earth, who are involved in/with Social Media. It is among the outward fruit–evidence our Master taught us to look for, The following statement has been said, many times and in many ways, with the root of it coming, of course, from Messiah Yeshua: The tree is known by the fruit it bears! A Love–conquered individual can only live a lifestyle, mirrored by Messiah Yeshua. Love = Do No Harm! Be harmless in all things!
We Are What We Do And No More !!
Now, an Atheist, a Christian, a Buddhist, a Muslim, and anyone else of any other religion or political brand, can attempt to copy the lifestyle of a Messianic disciple, but doing so does not prove they are the (infinitesimal and inconspicuous) Elect of YHVH; a future resurrected Saint; the Heaven destined. And they are not empowered to do so, every second of infinity, so the fraud show will end and soon. For one example, no Love–conquered (Do No Harm) person burns fossil fuels, however, anyone can live fossil–fuel–free, and still not be a Messianic disciple.
In the same way, anyone can live without a Social Media presence or account, or enable any of it, but no Love–conquered person even has an account. Put another way: all Saved women dress conservatively, but not all conservatively dressed women are Saved. No Love–conquered person is involved in the Car Cult , but not all car–free people are Love–conquered. Love compels all who are Love, to be Love: From that YHVH–Love root, we cannot be anything else but Messiah–like: We purpose it daily.
In like manner, someone can be pro–life and still not live under the Messianic Cross. No one can be pro–life and pro–gun at the same time; it is a hypocrisy that exposes their true roots. The Heaven–destined Elect of YHVH, obey the 1 Commandment or the {1} Royal Law, not the "gospel" of the USA's 2nd Amendment, nor any other political writing, christianized or not.
All Spiritually metamorphosized people are commissioned to expose such evil; we do not partake in it, or enable it, collaborate within it or accept it: We Messianic disciples are duty–bound expose and reprove it (Eph 5 ; 2Tim 4 ).
The Bravery Of Pacifism Was The Messianic Cross !!
The Christianized follow the roots of their culture, not The Christ. This is why they have always been, and still are, devout Nationalists (patriotic), and committed to Satan's Earth trinity productions.
As devout Satan (Mammon ) servants, they honor demonic directives; Satan was a power–monger with a god complex; he was/is the father of lies; he was/is going about seeking whom he may devour; he lives only to kill, steal and destroy: And his humans are just like that. They are his physicality. They follow destructive paradigms religiously, then attend weekend church services: Anathema!
¶ Earth Is Driven By Satan's Broadway Human Masses!
(Back )
Competitivism for ever fewer resources, made conflicts increase among humans, and so, a way to resolve them, was/is itself, a way to monetize the masses, and do so without actually producing anything tangible, via Labor . Those who sow discord (Pro 6 :16–19; Rom 16 :17–18), do so to keep aflame, us–against–themism, competition, competitivism, comparisonism, and adversarialism.
The entire westernized world is deeply infested with this mentality, and thus capitalism, driven by the Monetizers , has metastasized into almost every other culture on Earth. And like Social Media, religions are also a major part of (and then a contributor to) that Enculturation .
And like religion, Social Media fills many voids left by a predominantly anti–Messianic (and thus lifeless) culture. Love is the fulfillment of all YHVH Law , and Love is also fulfilling on its own; that living water and bread of life. With it you cannot want more or even take more; it is an overrunning cup.
But in that emptiness, people seek things they think will fill them; religion is one of them. The sin of religion is (in part) why YHVH became Human in the first place; to expose it for the sin–act of Satan that it clearly was, and still is, unto all (past/present/future) Messianic disciples as the Saints of YHVH. Messiah Yeshua (forever) exposed the sin of religion, and they crucified Him for it.
Christians are the exact same people type that crucified Messiah Yeshua; politically adulterous, secularly promiscuous, and religiously pious, all while living anti-Messianic lifestyles, and also demonically promoting the sin of Bibliolatry . Seriously devoted to Scripture, the Pharisees (then & today) were/are opposed to living in/from the pages.
Social Media involvement is simply an unabashed public exhibition: I am of the World ; a follower of whatever is before me. I obey money as my only barometer, compass, core, factor and filter in this life. I am devoted to the gods of tech and cannot see a world beyond it.
Every generation had automaton–drones with similar devotions to what was popular in their time/culture. Even AI will never have an original thought; it too, is just a compilation of data input; it too, can only regurgitate data; shuffle the proverbial cards it is given by humans, and then spit them back out, reordered, much like people who plagiarize ideas and then reword them to avoid any official act of plagiarism.
All of this is a terrifying fate for the Elect of YHVH, but for the monkeys, they will remain oblivious to it until death. Consequently, words such as these will be declared as ridiculous and even extreme: They have to be, and that is understandable. Messiah Yeshua was considered radical; extreme; insane. And John of Pátmos ? What a lunatic! This is how to know who is in the World versus those on The Way .
Now, when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles: Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them: Repent, and be baptized everyone of you, in the name of Messiah Yeshua, for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as The Lord, Adonai our Elohim, shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying: Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
Luke 22 ; James 3 ; 1Co 2 }
Among the first things that happen, to all humans who actually possess the Indwelling Holy Spirit, is a fairly quick death to the World . It does not happen slowly or over years; in fact in some cases, inside of days. The true Messianic disciples (past/present/future) utterly abandoned the former life and lifestyles; what was represented in a devotion to the things that will perish; the things that are meaningless to you and I, starting three days after we die, forward in time–eternal.
Ruach HaKodesh radically transforms us; soon and very soon, it becomes a Spiritual metamorphosis; the old you diminishes and then quickly dies. The things of this life become, not just folly and meaningless; not just the vanity of vanities; it all becomes embarrassingly superficial. For Messianic disciples, the only "hell" we could ever experience, would be to live an Earth life, where moneymaking (employment; profit; economics), materialism and consumerism, defined our existence, at all.
Getting involved, on any level, in that which is from the roots of Satan and crew, is absurd and anathema. All Heaven destined Saints of Adonai our Elohim, live under the Messianic Cross, 24/7/365/∞ as the Elect of YHVH. All the things in the World are distractions, not attractions.
Our duty is to expose fraud, not enable it. Our lifestyle becomes that of Labor and simple living, so that we may spend our time praying, studying in fellowship with like hearted individuals, learning and absorbing YHVH, and in every way we can, and we are driven to do so, and cannot imagine doing anything else.
Religion becomes not only a distraction from this, it offers a neatly packaged and seemingly justified way, out of The Way . Live in/for the world, give 2 hours a week to this god thingy, invest in gods paywall (tithing), swallow, with eyes tightly closed, all worldly theologies, and then after some self professions and a bit of stirring emotionalism, you get to go to heaven.
As nice as that sounds ― and it sells pew tickets galore ― it is Satanic in all its permutations and forms. So much so that YHVH came onto this planet, in Human form, and we call Him Messiah Yeshua; He exposed the heinous sin of religion, via the professional religionists of that time/culture, as a paradigm for all who followed after Him; those who were/are His disciples, and live only by His doctrine; the Red Letter Doctrine!
It is a complete lifestyle change. Most people do not go off to work, and then come home to be "family" members during our off hours; instead, we are Family first and foremost, daily and hourly. Doing what it takes to provide food and shelter and other simple living needs; those are the distractions. Economics & Politics & Religion are distractions. We are forced to participate in mammon, but none of these are our life.
¶ Your God Is Money; Your Lord Is Your Boss; Your Guide Is Satan!
(Back )
For the Spiritually lost (especially the christianized here in the Eschaton), they dabble in religion productions, even becoming self-righteous, in and because of them, but otherwise, they walk away from Messiah Yeshua, almost right away, so to continue in the quest for other more immediate desires and rewards (Mark 4 ; John 6 ).
As the centerpiece of capitalism itself, being profit above all else, Social Media giants resell all your time invested and content posted on their tech platforms, for literally billions daily, and mindlessly enabling them is (in part), why we have such massive chasms of wealth inequality. No, wealth is not created at the top, it is merely devoured there! They are E versions of multilevel marketing schemes popular in late 20th century's Mammon centered nations, filled with Grifter Monetizers .
Nonetheless, all this was foreseen; many are the unwitting players in the Eschaton era productions of Satan, and will remain oblivious to being so, until the end: Predestination! Every human culture on Earth forever, had a set of things common to them; mostly what was left behind by former generations.
The rare exception to this, would be if a group migrated away from one culture, and formed their own, without any of the influences of their former enculturation: Not sure that ever happened on Earth. But in fact, the Kingdom of Heaven is (and will be) a complete and radical departure from virtually all that came before.
The mammalian masses of humanity are little more than the copy–mimic–parrot duplication's of their culture; still trapped in sociocultural plagiarism and lifestyle mimesis; why so many believed we evolved from lower primates. This is because nothing catastrophic happens in their life, to thrust them far away from it all: Not a mere culture shock , but rather, a culture castration; a complete disenculturation.
Even when Noah (and crew) built his massive inland bound ship ― ultimately ending up a long way from their original location, and with only his immediate family surviving, along with a bunch of land animals ― they were all still influenced by their previous culture. And yet, that experience surely altered their trajectory as a group. Read about this (albeit secular) conscientious epoch: NASA Astronauts Describe Moment In Space When Everything Changed .
A similar thing happens to any of us, anytime and anywhere, when we go from mere humans being (the daily grind of life as a mere testee of corporeality), and are suddenly metamorphosized by the radical and epochal transformation, which is only the Indwelling (of the) Holy Spirit (Acts 1 thru 6).
But such a radical transformation comes only to those who surrender unconditionally unto the supreme and eternal Lordship of Messiah Yeshua, and die to this life; die to all earthly dreams and desires, and especially their Enculturation and the blind followship that once defined us all (Eph 5 :6–17). One cannot be born again until one first dies (Gal 2 :20; Rom 6 :3–7; John 3 :19–21).
Organized religion obscures and taints that reality; to place a monetary value on anything that comes from our Heavenly Father, is accursed and therefore, all organized religion is exactly what Messiah Yeshua came to disesteem upon the Messianic Cross. All organized religion is Satan's domain, but Satan hunger lusts to use those religions that employ the Name Above All Names .
Once an individual is actually Saved (Spiritually metamorphosized), the very idea of copying any part of a culture designed and operated by Satan, and its subsequent devastation to the planet and the people and animals that YHVH created and owns; this is a horrifying thought to all Messianic disciples.
With Spiritual sight, one can no longer walk in the Darkness of blind enculturation and meaningless followship. We do not seek to fit into the World ; we seek to escape from it, not to sink deeper into it or remain contented within it (2Co 6 :14).
¶ Anonymity Platforms For Hate Conquered Bully Cowards!
(Back )
Social Media has become a cult level bastion of bullies & trolls ; the people who are demon oppressed will exhibit that demonism via their rage–anger, hatred–vitriol, retribution and violence, insulting and belittling, devaluing and mocking, and just general meanness and unkindness. I call it the demon–rage! They are like a volcano ready to burst, wherein the smallest thing will set it off.
It is not hateful content that makes people haters; it is haters that make or encourage hateful content (via up votes and so on). The dead soul hunger–lusts to make others feel like they do; to be like they are; to jump on the hate train with them; to normalize bullying that is not physical in nature; to spit vitriol always.
But in the past, when acting out their rage–anger in public would cause others to threaten them with bodily harm, or even prison by law enforcement, the anonymity of the computer screen and a fake profile protects them, and that anonymity emboldens the coward. We see this within the isolation of the automobile and its subsequent road rage incidences. The metal cage may insulate them, but it is very dangerous to those outside of it; the Car Cult is indeed an insidious killer.
We now face words like Internet troll and Cyberbullying ; words so new that some text editors are still flagging them as misspelled. But like all cults, bullying too is ancient; bullying is just the outward expression of internal demons, which seek always to sow discord . Of course, today, most bullying is economic in nature; using money–power to manipulate others.
Bullying is so pervasive, and now normalized here in the Eschaton (2nd Tim 3 :1–5) that entire nations have had to take (albeit baby) steps in the failing battle; i.e. the recent StopBullying.gov campaign. Satan's politicians have publicly joined in the name–calling, belittlement, and other such bully tactics. But it is already way too late; the trolls have already won ; the Internet will never stop the pandemic level spread of misinformation and deception.
Fortunately for the living Messianic disciples; the daily dying, future Resurrected Saints; the Love–conquered individuals; the (infinitesimal and inconspicuous) Elect of YHVH; indeed for all Messianic disciples, nothing that occurs in the World will impact us, like it does the worldly.
The worldly are so influenced by/in the world that they do not even see it in themselves (2Co 6 :14–18; 1st John 2 :8–17; Isa 6 :10): And even a thousand years floating in the pitch black vacuum of empty space (Darkness ) will not sway them either.
The Power Of Pride Is The Curse Of Volition !!
For the infinitesimal few who exist, encapsulated in the glory of YHVH Love the (infinitesimal and inconspicuous) Elect of YHVH; we cannot, and thus do not, enable, encourage by participation, finance, support, collaborate with, or yoke in any way, with any of Satan's many evil paradigms, being displayed openly upon this planet. Instead, we (as you are reading) reprove and expose them (Eph 5 :7–13; John 3 :19–21; 2nd Tim 4 :1–5).
¶ The Bondage Of Freedom; The Freedom Of Bondage!
(Back )
(Rom 6 :20–23) True freedom is not found in the confines of smallness, but in the vastness of bigness; it is to go from blindness to sight; from darkness to enlightenment. The confines of smallness is territorialism, nationalism, patriotism, and any other words that define the finite and the small; that creates or maintains barriers to unity within the human species. The gorillas with guns among us, are too Satanic and too fear driven to be reached by normal means.
The vastness of bigness is when we realize that we are one species on one planet, and not tiny little groupings of humans with all others as our potential enemies. Our mental enlightenment, even from our early teen years onward, is the realization that we are one species on one planet in one solar system (with one star as its source) in one Galaxy, floating among countless trillions of them. That vastness and bigness makes us feel very very small and insignificant in the face of this incalculable reality. I can be humbling.
And yet at the very same time, we begin to realize how vastly important we are; all of us: All of this! That is true freedom. Fear of other is thus the prison; fear of the unknown or unfamiliar is the only bondage. And so is the responses to it; weaponry, militarism, territorialism, nationalism, patriotism, indeed all manifestations of us–against–themism. The very notion of "freedom in isolation" is an oxymoron. The 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution is one such example among many that haunt the puny human past.
Social Media is like that too; it is Satan's gigantic sauna; it is choked with darkness and evil intent; even the perceived good stuff there is just the bait and lure to keep people invested in the sauna, soaking in all the demon–led vitriol and the spewing venom that comes along with it. People can excuse anything, but be careful little eyes/ears what you see/hear. For the Elect of YHVH, we intrinsically avoid those things like the toxic environment it is.
There is no such thing as freedom without accountability, responsibility, or restitution from loses associated with it. And in modern times, nothing is so obvious, as is Social Media, alongside the unabashed tangibles like the Car Cult and the gun cult; anything human automatons copy from one another that is risky or proven harmful. To challenge ones Creator by pushing against the border of death, in defiance and rebellion; it is sin–evil, and a brazen violation of the Temple .
For, brethren, you have been called unto liberty {freedom } ; only, do not use liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by Love serve one another. For all the Torah is fulfilled in one statement, and it is this: You shall Love your neighbor as yourself! But if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you are not consumed, one of another. This I say then; walk in the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh, and these are contrary the one to the other, so that you cannot do the things that you would. But if you are led of the Spirit, you are not under the Torah.
Us modern day Messianic disciples were (are) eyewitnesses to all of this, most prominently in circa 2020>, with a ravaging pandemic, and the subsequent rage–anger–hatred; defiance and rebellion oozes from those who will not use their freedom and liberty to Love and serve others, but instead, abuse their freedoms to defy their Creator, and unabashedly expand their sphere of rage–anger–hatred, outwardly. These acts are proof of a profound level of demonic oppression.
But this is the Eschaton, and such behaviors and mentalities and actions, were prophesied to increase; and they are (2nd Tim 3 :1–5). All future resurrected Saints (Messianic disciples) have freedom and liberty, but we also know that Satan exploits human freedoms most of all, and why our only Lord and King warned us (His future) disciples in so many ways. Being under a Lordship means to surrender all worldly freedom. We are called unto liberal lives and lifestyles (Gal 5 ).
For example, scarcity will quickly breed conservation in anyone with a functioning brain. E.g. When there is only so much food, the thoughtful will not waste any food availed; they will store any excess for coming days; even animals do it. But any truly loving parent would not eat in scarcity, to assure progeny will be fed. This level of care does not require the Love exhibited upon the Messianic Cross; that Love endures all things, even time. Conservation is a level of care that is just practical.
When humans possess the Indwelling Holy Spirit, scarcity is not necessary to motivate us to do, what Love intrinsically commands of us to do always. Analogous to the truly loving parent, we (proverbially and literally) will not eat ourselves, so that we may protect others from hunger; we put others above ourselves, and are compelled to do so, by YHVH Love. It would be hard not to do it.
But Satan's people are confined and fearful; they lack any true freedoms or liberal traits at all. They are trapped in very small worlds, where discrimination of all kinds, imprison them, and those psychological cages, cause them to suffer from rage–anger–hatred, against all the not–like–me people. They will be racists in places where there are many colors of people together. But if that is not the case, they will find other excuses for the presentation of their rage–anger–hatred; demons cannot contain themselves for long.
For example, Muslim males who have no personal contact with anyone, but others like them, soak in a vat of rage–anger–hatred toward anyone not like them! They grasp onto their Satan–led religion, which is designed to create and/or accelerate us–against–themism in all Satan's humans. Satan pits his people against one another; demons enjoy using humans to destroy one another. All human discrimination comes from Satan; the humans that profit from it, and from death and destruction, are Satan's favorite people. Satan's demons work through humans only, and by us–against–themism they get to experience the thrill of power.
Satan uses consumerism against those in Nation–States that are less impacted by religious extremism (e.g. the Middle East), because Satan has plans for every possible human situation. Those who suffer from Spiritual vacuity in Mammon wealthy nations, will vent their rage–anger–hatred, via loudness and aggression, and since there is no War to do this within, they express their rage–anger–hatred with loud machines; those who build them and those who buy them! The goal for Satan's people everywhere, is disturbing Peace !
Do you now believe? Behold, the time comes, yea has now come, that you shall be scattered, everyone to their own places, and shall be separated from Me. And yet, I Am never alone, because the Father is within Me! These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation; but be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world. (John 16:31–33)
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see Elohim. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of Elohim. Blessed are they that are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. (Matt 5:3–10)
The "poor in spirit" are those who have been mentally–emotionally broken by the sin–evil that rages around them. And rather than responding to Satan's call to take up arms and kill and steal and destroy; to react with rage–anger–hatred, they go the other way, and die a little everyday. Some humans are just too innocent for the ravages of this world. They easily sink into despair. Some never recover from the rage–anger–hatred that impacts all of us. If pride–ego–emotion blocks them from finding the Messianic Cross, they will check–out early in the experiment.
The Indwelling Holy Spirit gives all Messianic disciples, a foresight and (importantly) a proactive perspective in all things, always. We are hyperconscious ; we are exceptionally conscientious. We care deeply for all that YHVH created or will create; all life forms are sacred and precious, soul–endowed or not.
But the atheistic, and the religious, alongside the anti-Messianic (the christianized); these masses of humans, cannot be Love, because they are missing the only thing that can allow us to be Love: Ruach HaKodesh!
¶ Education Beyond Social Media Posts!
(Back )
Social Media is only one manifestation of blind followship; everything else that the masses blindly consume and copy, is also blind followship; to mirror the other mere mammals that we are all spawn from: YHVH wants us to transcend that; to be gloriously woke! Most humans almost never venture intellectually beyond the news headlines, soundbites and one liners: TLCR .
Also, Social Media has become this kind of drip bag anesthesia; a never ending flow of ego fill, and also, of information overload. As with all polymaths , research is a lifelong endeavor. Study is vital (2nd Tim 2 :15; 1Th 4 :9–12). But if that input is only and always superficial and worldly; if it does not hold any eternal value, it becomes analogous to a junk food diet, which is orally satisfying but psychologically damaging.
Religion consumption itself, is one of many such manifestations of blind followship; a bondage to religion is worse than earthly or fleshly sins. Merely holding a self-belief, or parroting a prayer at some religion business altar call; one must understand the huge importance of what becoming a disciple of Messiah Yeshua means, in comparison to any religious works (rituals, rites, holidays, traditions, tithing mammon, church or its service$) done under any religion banner (James all): Hence, the sin of religion (Mark 11 :15–18).
Religion is exhausting and taxing, but relationship is refreshing and invigorating. My Master said that His yoke was easy and light; meaning, by contrast, the religionists that He routinely criticized and condemned, they were a tax and a tithe; a drain on the economic and psychological well being of humans being; religion requires constant renewal via ritual. In the bondage of this world, humans seek freedom, but in the freedom of Spiritual bondage, only there are we truly free.
But freedom without Spiritual accountability is just lawlessness, irrespective of the presence of human made Law . Here in the Eschaton and its predictable end time themed nation of the Ununited States Annexed, the Judicial Industry of the Law lords has a huge arsenal of anti–accountability "laws" in place; visit any Law Library for more information.
Replacing any trace of a Justice System, the Judicial Industry is a financial product designed and refined by the wealth–class, for the wealth–class, to protect them from the non–rich, and to exploit them legally. This is why it is rare for them to ever go to prison, and they all know it .
These laws were designed and refined, over many generations from feudal Europe , specifically to protect businesses and politicians from any true measure of personal accountability. This Monk calls it: The Anti–Accountability Arm of the Judicial Industry! And unfortunately, their profiteers will not see any of this during this life, but it will be the source content of their never ending suffering.
Only the actual living Messianic disciples (past/present/future) are going to be Resurrected after this human experiment is over: Narrow Way indeed (Matt 7 :13–14). There will be many billions, or multitudes, who reject the (living and literal) Lordship of Messiah Yeshua, and the critical message and purpose that He, YHVH in skin , served and provided, while corporeally on Earth.
Messiah Yeshua, YHVH in skin , came at a time, and at a place, quite specific, and providential, to the course of this human experiment; predominantly, the proliferation of Mammon economics and the monetization of everything; the growing influence of organized religion upon the masses; and the explosion of politics as a main feature of the human experience.
Even though education entities try to present themselves as somehow enlightening, they are really just monetary productions, like everything else is within Mammon systems. We can measure this by the lack or original thoughts and actions, as well as critical thinking skills. For example, the beginning of ones pursuit of the talent of critical thinking, is first and foremost, self-awareness. And yet, what comes out of the Education Industry businesses, is anything but critical thinkers.
One such empiricism is the like–like phenomenon.
I am uncertain how far outside the US that like–like metastasized, but it has spread, like, to epidemic levels in the US, ever since, like, the Valley Girl days of, like, the eighties. Thus, like–like is, like, foundational to all US–based ethnography . ¯\(ツ)/¯
The Loveless are imbalanced; they have no self-awareness; or perhaps a lack of self-awareness creates the imbalance. In either case, the use of the word "like" as a (modern English) filler word, is among the first things to expose this condition or compulsion; the "Like" Compulsion! If a like–like person was secretly recorded in public, as they say the filler word like at rates of many dozens an hour, and then had to listen to themselves, many would be aghast. Like, their first self-awareness experience. As a form of behavioral correction, they could be forced to sit in a taser chair that would zap them every time the said the word "like".
Many can become frustrated by these people, when enduring this like–like tirade in public; we truly need like–free zones. It is so brazenly obvious to everyone else, except I am guessing, to those who have that same absence of self-awareness. And yet, if others can hear it, how can they not hear it in themselves? As with all mental imbalances, those impacted are too often oblivious to their condition, even when displayed in others.
The point of discussing the like–like phenomenon, is that self-awareness is vital, not only to mental health in general, but as an assessment tool; a gauge of ones mental capacity. There is a certain level of self-awareness that is healthy, and then there is self–absorption, and so there must be a clinical understanding of the two (really) separate self–seeing ideals.
Most humans, unfortunately, have little to no self-awareness; this helps to explain the literal pandemic of the like–like phenomenon. Humans are primates; they monkey–see–monkey–do, with great regularity, and are not bothered by it. But the evidence is everywhere; the seeming need to copy–mimic–parrot words, ideas, mannerisms, even word selection. High Five everyone (yes, even adults). ✋🐵✋
One of the main reasons for, and thus the evidence of, the Indwelling Holy Spirit, is a wisdom that far transcends even the human capacity for wisdom. Storing large packets of data is not wisdom; indeed, overtly caring about anything that will not outlast ones Earth life, is futility and vanity. Once we master infinity, this life will be a very simple equation to process. It does not take long at all, with the IQ of YHVH at our disposal, to see the brazenly obvious:
Satan's Earthly Trinity Is Economics & Politics & Religion !!
¶ The Devils Idleness Workshop!
(Back )
All organized religion is satanic at its core; they all exist basically as the YHVH Monetizers of their own related god figure (Exo 20 :2–6): This is one of the major manifestations of (what is and will be) an unforgivable sin, if no living repentance action takes place. And Social Media is merely an outflow (one of many) of the Eschaton era exhibition of Enculturation ; the privileged and spoiled lifestyles of those who simply do not Labor : Mammon or money economics is directly the cause.
In a world where everything is a commercial; where all activities are now an act of commerce designed around advertising, the bulk of the humans species are too mesmerized; too commercialized; too indoctrinated to understand much of anything beyond that shoebox of Enculturation . The ideals behind Simple living; of being at peace always; being contented with very few things; with appreciating the simple passing of time; these ideals are merely theoretical to the Spiritually lost.
In their hearts, most humans were/are predators and parasites, not only among the World and the planet that belongs only to YHVH; but also, they ― the Pharisees, the Sadducee, the Priests, and all their respective scribes and lawyers, in this particular narrative (Luke 19 :45–48) ― were among the economic predators who exploited YHVH and extorted money, so they did not have to Labor ; that proverbial spit in the face of YHVH, over the labor curse (Gen 3 :17–19).
We were thus reconditioned to labor all our lives; our Temple is designed for these efforts. However, most humans said (and are still rebelliously thinking & defiantly saying): Hell no, I won't go! Consequently, Mammon economics (money–hunger), and then slavery and serfdom , and then landlordism and controlism, or summarily, social stratification ; all of this was/is inspired by Satan, and now defines us as a species (the Eschaton). But all people have the superpower of volition, to see all of this as normal, or not.
And though normalized, none of it is the Yah Way or The Way : None of it is normal to YHVH, nor to the Messianic disciples (past, present, future). There will be none of it among those on the still virgin planets, which will be occupied by the (infinitesimal and inconspicuous) Elect of YHVH.
Since most people here in the Eschaton are fully enculturated drones of their own micro–experiences, they seldom if ever, think outside of those tiny boxes of life experiences. They not only do not have the mind of Messiah Yeshua (Rom 11 :33–36), they cannot even see past their own earthly cocoon of lifestyle; this is proven by how they talk or write or think about their perceived world of micro–experiences: The examples of this are too numerous to list here.
They will often compare sweat labor, like building homes or growing food or forestry, with their own employment role, wherein they (conversely) produce nothing substantial to life and living (1st Tim 6 :6–11), apart from their volitional participation in usury, societal exploitation, and parasitic and predatory economics. Usury is to use (abuse) other humans to avoid what is necessary to bring into existence all of our (human) base needs: Labor .
They will only trade time for money, and then use that money to buy all the sweat of their own brow, productions that require Labor . This is a lifestyle sin because it is premeditated; people intend to repeat it again tomorrow without any effort to overcome, suppress, or otherwise be set free of it. They are Spiritually blind, and intend to continue in it going forward. They oppose anything that YHVH gave as directives.
But all the religions of christianity, or summarily, Christendom, are all spun by Satan/God, the god of this world (2Co 4 :1–5), who is responsible for all religions globally, practiced by all humans. Messiah Yeshua lived and died (corporeally), and was Resurrected (to be both corporeal and incorporeal), to provide propitiation, necessary for me ― and all Messianic disciples, past/present/future ― to possess and be radically Spiritually transformed; indeed, metamorphosized by that Spirit that dwells (only) within (Rom 8 ).
The Indwelling Holy Spirit that is ruling within me right now is the very Holy Spirit that inhabited Messiah Yeshua (John 14 thru 17), and who is also yoked within all future resurrected Saints of YHVH, past/present/future.
There is only One Creator, our Adonai Elohim, The Heavenly Father: YHVH took on human form, and we call Him Messiah Yeshua. YHVH is an individual Entity, but not singular; YHVH manifests in corporeality in Spiritual form, and also corporately within corporeal beings like humans. The ocean is also a drop of water, and a drop is also the ocean.
¶ Modernity Seen Thru Scripture; Not Scripture Thru Modernity !!
(Back )
The Oracles of some of the written works, known of as the scriptures; the holy bible, as it has been used and abused by the (Catholic; Orthodox; Protestant) COP Cultists; these oracles were inspired to refer to Him as the Son of Adonai Elohim; a necessity at a time when religion was such a major influence over the masses, and Monotheism was relatively unknown.
Indeed, that is where the Catholic theology of the Spiritual Trinity came into being. Today, we can compare such an influence, to the new and powerful social religion that humans call politics, wherein, everything went through those filters; every conversation and every concept had religious context or subtext, just like it is today within the Cult of Politics.
Consequently, they apply and interpret any/all scripture, from the filters of their modern world, rather than comprehending Holy writings via the very Holy Spirit, which inspired those writings to begin with. The exact same Holy Spirit that inspired the scripture writers, also inspires the scripture readers: Ruach HaKodesh is either within you as your Love root and thus core of all things, or not.
Otherwise, we have a world now filled with religious people who are the YHVH Monetizers , via organized religion, with the worst of the worst of them all, being those who pose as Messianic disciples (they use the modern bibles translation versions of Jesus Christ & God ), but who are instead the central agents of Satan, as the Eschaton goes deeper into its prophesied conclusions.
Social Media, in and of itself, is not a sin; driving a car, in and of itself, is not a sin. However, it is what they ― and many other harmful culture copying manifestations ― say about the content of ones character, which is the outward display of ones Spiritual status; or, to know if one exists at all.
Study the Car Cult : How do you justify participating, enabling and collaborating in (this) the greatest unnecessary war on Earth? It is the presence of the justification mentality itself, which is of the greatest concern.
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve Elohim and mammon! Being money lovers, all the Pharisees also, heard all these things, so they derided Him. But He said unto them: You are they which justify yourselves before men, but Elohim knows your hearts: For that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of Elohim! (Luke 16:13–15).
It is this same base mentality or pathology, which drives the Spiritually lost human species; the Darkness destined Broadway masses (Matt 7 :13–23; Luke 13 :24–28) who cannot think critically or independently, and who never have any original thoughts or ideas. My Master referred to humans as lost sheep; not all humans of course, but the vast majority.
We, as the Elect of YHVH, do not care what other humans think of us; however, the atheistic, the religious, and the anti-Messianic (the christianized), are the opposite; they are obsessed with what other humans think of them, and rarely if ever cognizant of what YHVH thinks of them. This is because they need consistent praise and acceptance and approval.
To be utterly conquered by what other humans think, is itself a symptom of Spiritual vacuity. With the Indwelling Holy Spirit ruling and reigning within, we are filled to overflow with that Living Water and Bread of Life; we are at peace, free, fearless, and completely contented with ourselves and with all creation, regardless of life's circumstances.
The manifestations of the sheeple masses can be witnessed in how they live on Earth (hint: the very purpose of your life here). Do you follow? Or do you stand among the (infinitesimal and inconspicuous) Elect of YHVH? (Matt 7 :24–27; 2Co 6 :14–18). Are you driven by fear? YHVH is Love, and (prefect) Love drives out all fear (1st John 4 :17–18; Heb 13 :5–6; Rev 2 :10; Rev 21 :7–8).
The word "sheeple" will seem derogatory to, well, sheeple people! No one wants to think they are, in any way, inferior others. Quite the contrary; most think they are superior, just by the random act of birth. But this is a display of Soulless egocentrism, which is among a host of other psychological issues that plague the (yep) sheeple masses. But the ideas behind the term sheeple has been around for millennia.
Sheep are not stupid but are easy to corral. Herder dogs have been around since before the 1st century, so they were well known of even back then. My favorite Header are border collies; their videos are impressive. Humans tapped into, and then modified the predatory nature of dogs for this work, which they like doing.
Humans are all those things; stupid and smart; easy to lead and corral; predatory and dangerous. Messiah Yeshua taught us that the proof of YHVH Love being ones guide in this life, is not about emotions, but about actions and non actions. The tree is known only by the fruit it bears.
We Are What We Do And No More !!
So our lifestyle choices are what define us, not what we say or think of ourselves. The (infinitesimal and inconspicuous) Elect of YHVH purpose our lives around the Love for all humans that YHVH created and then died mercilessly and unjustly, as the proof that Love is only sacrificial.
The Way will seem hard at first because we have to give up things that our culture shapes us to do (and think), and that sheeple copy for the approval of other sheeple; but this occurs because sheeple are blind to the Spiritual , and in that blindness, must follow those around us; we easily get herded! Examine yourself: Do you live much like those around you now? That is the tell.
Once you are free of that, you will look at life far--far different than the sheeple masses do.
¶ The Occult Of Gun: Metallic Bravery Of The Coward Class!
(Back )
Brandishing of weaponry is an exhibition of cowardice; it is the only physical evidence. Cowards get brave once they are armed, and they get armed as an act of their (otherwise) perpetual state of cowardice. Fear drives the gun cult. The million+ gun pointing scenes on mass media, helped to drive generations of monkey–see–monkey–do, copy–mimic–parrot people, to desperately want to be like those they see on TV; pathetic indeed, but a monkey cannot stop being a monkey. Something much bigger must interrupt the flow.
Cowards are simply people who use weaponry to exert their will over others. And as with the car cultists, the same holds true for the gun cult , which is itself an outward display of fear/paranoia (1st John 4 :18), cloaked in self-justifications and a hunger for social normalization.
And Social Media has greatly accelerated the fears, and the gun ownership; however, the bloodbath of the prophetic Eschaton requires it. But this was all anticipated by the Elect of YHVH; the past Oracles were visionaries; the mouthpiece of YHVH.
When an individual knows deep deep inside them (intuitively) that they are Spiritually eternally doomed, even among those who attend religion businesses faithfully, the commitment to live this earthly life, for as long as possible, explains why killing and self defense and wars abound (James 4 :1–10).
Then there is good ole malevolence (or male violence?), which is a manifestation of demonic oppression: Yep, that is still around and even increasing as we reach deeper into the Eschaton. Perhaps the gun cultists suffer brain damage from lead exposure: That unmistakable and hellish smell of death and Darkness . (See: Current Causes of Death in Children and Adolescents in the United States )
Adding to all of those, are the many bodily "addiction cults" (see: Temple ); collectively, all of these dangerous lifestyle manifestations, have a negative impact on the greater creation of YHVH (Earth), as well as on all (us) Messianic disciples, who live Messianic lifestyles, mimicking Messiah Yeshua. And doing so on a planet run by the religions god Satan, who manipulates or oppresses the bulk of the human species.
We disciples live as our Master; however, only those chosen before Earth was (Eph 1 :3–14), will (sooner or later) gravitate on their own, toward our light (Matt 5 :14–16), with the incessant nudging of the Holy Spirit in the world (which differs from the Indwelling Holy Spirit), accompanied by a litany from us disciples, which is echoed in/from Heaven (Matt 6 :7–10).
The widespread use of the phone as a portable media device (a global portal), has led to a completely different way to live in society, like never before. We are now cursed with live streaming assassinations and murderous rampages; inundated with more information in a given month than most humans experienced in a lifetime: Data overload is stress.
And stress kills us, slowly but surely; it greatly impacts lifestyles, life expectancy, life quality, and thus, mental/emotional health. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for the sake of Messiah Yeshua, you will save it, now and forever.
This Life Is Not Even About This Life !! Matt 10 :37–39; Matt 16 :24–27; Luke 12 ; Luke 14 :25–35)
YHVH does not exist so to give you are better worldly life; your worldly life must be sacrificed for an eternal one. The christianized have it backwards; they first want to know what "God" is going to do for them; they never see that it is in a complete death to self, that we gain (Phl 3 :7–15).
¶ Organized Religion: Paywall Between Elohim & People!
(Back )
Then Yeshua spoke to the multitude, and to His disciples, saying: The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: All therefore whatsoever they bid you to observe, that observe and do. But you; do not do after their works, for they say, and do not. For they bind heavy burdens grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. But all their works they do just to be seen of men. They make broad their phylacteries and enlarge the borders of their garments, and love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets, and to be called of men: Rabbi, Rabbi!
(Matt 23:1–13)
The religious are driven by pride–ego–emotion and as such they need to show–off; they crave/seek the attentions of other humans! Messiah Yeshua exposes this sin–evil for His disciples (past; present; future). No one can (or will) be "born again" until a death first occurs, and that death is a death to pride–ego–emotion (inwardly) and any expectation of a better life (outwardly) because of such a relationship. Once the Indwelling Holy Spirit is a reality within, equality and equity will drive you, and religion will offend you.
Most disciples suffered far more than they would have, if they never followed Him; indeed, those who counted the cost of such, walked away from Him (John 6 :53–66; Luke 14 :26–35). And they still do, even among the dedicated churched, because religious consumerism has no costs beyond a tithe.
Matt 22 :14 says: For many were/are called (via evangelism or proselytization or assimilation), but few are chosen, via predestination. This is why the Messianic disciples, past, present and future, do not recruit, seek out, or try to market our Lord: There is evil in that.
The truth miners seek (on their own) their Maker, and with devotion and purpose; conversely, the bulk of our species, looks upon God/god as a Santa Claus figure (Luke 12 :15; Luke 18 :18–30; 1st Tim 6 :6–11), which morphs unto its culture.
Unlike Satan's religion business Monetizers ― we, as the daily dying Messianic disciples, and thus the only future bodily resurrected individual's as the Saints of YHVH ― we disciples live as our Master and Rabbi lived, and we follow His Doctrine and lifestyle, considering the red letters of scripture to be the only literal Word (John 1 :14). Anything and everything else ends up as mere Bibliolatry in the hands of today's Pharisees; the monetized religionists.
But perfection is not perfectness, for we are all flawed individuals; we are all equally trapped in corporeality: Thus, we all need the redeeming Love of Messiah Yeshua, expressed on the Cross.
It is the sincere effort to copy Messiah Yeshua; that purposed life lived with the goal of mimicking our Master; to reach Messiah like perfection is how we demonstrate our desire to aspire; our hope to be like our Master, for there is no greater way to prove our commitment to being like someone, than in earnest simulation. Love driven unity is that state of perfection (John Seventeen ).
Unfortunately, most people use Social Media in an antisocial way; the anti–societal nature of all Social Media cannot be sen by those who have never experienced true relationships. Unaware or not, they will simulate caring while/by not being physically present in someone's life. Money has become the only relational barometer of Love and meaning.
They can pretend love, or exhibit fake caring and no one would even know that they could be a sociopath or psychopath; they can mock the act of caring, electronically, and for many, doing so can actually make them think of themselves as caring people.
But all of this is just another manifestation of the prophesied Eschaton. Social Media, and any other like form of depersonalization , allows for the perpetuation and/or the normalization of social status, social stratification and economic privilege; the paradigm (and mentality) of entitlement.
¶ Smartphones: A Pocket Full of Ego!
(Back )
The smartphone was designed for the obtuse masses; hence the name. The learning curve for actual computers was too steep; offices across the globe purchased computers by the millions, with the promise they would revolutionize the offices of business: They did not!
Regardless of the fact that internet connected computers, rendered obsolete most office equipment of the aughts, the fax and printer remain a major part of the office environment to this day. Why?
Because most could not (do not) utilize the PC, thus explaining why most people need and use smartphones. They are app driven; like an elevator that any chimp can operate; one simply pushes buttons. Are Smartphones The New Cigarettes?
The smartphone is a combination of tech and the marketing of Social Media, which appeases the human ego of the Broadway masses. The effects in personal relationships is also clear to those with Spiritual eyes/ears: One is a higher thinker who cares little about the minutia of this life, preferring to talk about deeply meaningful, yes even eternal things.
However, the obtuse masses want to narrate every thought and action throughout the day, because they do not think higher thoughts; they will eyes glaze over when caught in a deeply meaningful discussion: I have been eyewitness to that mental stupor, many times, and exponentially as we go deeper into the Eschaton Era.
The first PC I used was not even mine; it was a relative who paid monthly for AOL to access (what was then) the Internet. It was 1996 and I was 38 years old. I am living proof that one can live without any of the tech that now pervades human life. Those who knew no other life, post tech world (after Y2K), cannot imagine life without it. But most of our species did just that.
So, why the need to carry a smartphone around all the time? Why is it necessary for people to (rather suddenly in human time) need to have such a device in their faces almost every waking minute? Simple! Egocentrism ; narcissism; superego: The egocentric are compliment seekers; their lifestyles and attention seeking behaviors reflect this reality. They crave the positive affirmations of other people: Social Media profiles are public exhibitions of egocentrism.
Those who exhibit attention seeking behavior, hunger for any attention, and if it is not positive attention, negative attention will do. Everyone who consumes Social Media, knows who is who, simply by monitoring it. The faces and names that are seen the most, typically represent the most attention hungry; they make sure to say or do whatever it takes to keep themselves forefront. The horror of the attention addict is to be ignored or forgotten. Social Media enables people; it literally exists for this people–type.
All of this is a haunting reality to the few, the humble, the redeemed (the Elect of YHVH). But the reason why all Messianic disciples, past and present and future, were and are (then and today) relatively unknown of, is because we disciples do not want to be popular, or known of. What clearly separates the christianized masses, from the Elect of YHVH as Messianic disciples, is best witnessed in this realm of egocentric popularity; this hunger display for the approval of other humans.
When an individual is full to overflowing with the living water and bread of life, there is no more need for anything else, in or from this world, because there is simply no more room for it. We do not merely memorized and regurgitate bible sentences; for the word became Flesh and dwelt among us, so that now, via that redeeming propitiation, He can reign within us, now and forever, amen! We Messianic disciples, just like our only Master; we become the word (Psa 119 :10–11; John Seventeen ).
The smartphone morphed via monetization, so that now it has little to do with computing. The smartphone is the portal to the greatest ego masturbation known to humankind thus far: Social Media. Am I liked? Wanted? Adored? Are there any praises awaiting me? Is anyone out there who is stunningly attractive and mega rich, seeking me as a mate right now?
Hey, you never know, right? Stay tuned in perpetually; do not sleep for too long because you might miss something that is even remotely connected to you: You might miss some gossip . You might miss someone disparaging another you are in competition with somehow.
Whenever you see someone, always face–in on a handheld device, you are looking upon a person who is egocentric, egoistic, and perhaps even narcissistic; a display of self–centered focus. To be so enamored with self, the word "selfie" has gone from a pathetic self–aggrandization and toxic lookism , to an accepted part of the culture, now consisting predominately of anti-Messiahs , which scripture predicted millennia ago: Pride and ego are a married couple. The pride–ego–emotion conquered will always find ways to defend against an onslaught of truth.
¶ Trapped In The Web: Internet Dependency & Empire!
(Back )
The bigger picture here should be obvious to those of us who saw it all unfold live. Even the Amish saw it all coming a century ago; not Internet Dependency specifically, but rather, the overall generic scriptural directive of the Eschaton Era; how it would all look on the global stage, from a more celestial view. Screen addiction for people (the young especially) are being deformed by the digital age.
All Messianic disciples ― as well as some others such as those among the Gen–Z Luddite Clubs who are now starting to catch–on ― easily notice how "connectivity in perpetuity" is the grocery store of addiction food.
But this is more about what one does with a smartphone,than their existence. If it is not a tool for you, then you are a tool for it; you are its perpetual customer. I can have a few beers (or wine) when I am out celebrating with friends, but I do not drink alcohol at home or elsewhere; I am not opposed to alcohol, but it is not a regular thing either. But continuous drinking would make me an alcoholic.
All the mental baggage that comes with Social Media, has its own bizarre language and concepts: Attention–Farming; Rage–Baiting; Rage–Farming, Trolling; Sea–Lioning, Doxxing, Swatting, Brigading, Fire–Hosing, Astroturfing (and more added annually); these are all acceptable within the addiction productions of Social Media. If my grandparents read this paragraph, they would think these were new cocktail names.
Amish do not like personal photos, declaring it a violation of the graven image idea, which (as the 2nd Commandment) is found over forty times throughout the Tanakh , but with emphasis on Exodus 20 . But of course, this was a prohibition against making idols or talismans for worship, given the fact that prior to the Great Intervention of YHVH, the primal–carnal humans, made gods out of things, and actually bowed to them and worshiped them as gods, while still ignorant of the fact that YHVH was/is/will be, The One Creator of everything and everyone.
Still, the premise itself is valid as a means of preventing a pride of/in self, which is also sinful. Nevertheless, the Amish are still just protestants, and thus, willing participants of and in Satan's human–centric religions and/or literalistic religious paradigms. Even Atheists can see, at least obscurely, some of the things that all Messianic disciples can see, clearly and daily:
Christendom Does Not Represent Messiah Yeshua !!
When I was a young man, there were no consumer computers of any kind, except of course the idiot box . But the TV (screen) was not interactive like computers or phones are; their unidirectional action was that they would show us all things that we did not know even existed before, and then, sold/told us how dependent we were upon them, and how necessary it was to buy this or that. Anything broadcast on TV was right and righteous and true; if the bible says otherwise, well, it was just wrong. Social Media is like that too.
Another standard in mid–twentieth century America, was a common respect for another's time, witnessed by the importance of the family dinner, as quality time together, and thus, a possible interruption medium; the landline phone. When it was dinner time, a call went out that said: Dinner is ready, wash up and turn off the phone. That is because it was considered disrespectful to interrupt that quality family time; one could just call before or after dinner.
It was also rude to cut–in; to interrupt two people talking, in any venue or situation. If I walked up, and cut–in between you and another person having a conversation, and took over the conversation, just as if you were not even there, it should and would incite an angry response; that would be disrespectful. But smartphones do it all the time.
By 2010, something even darker was happening; the portable phone was hitting every pocket and purse; it quickly became the e–god, faithfully served. Nowadays, when someone calls, they are cutting into a conversation, hijacking that talk. But those who serve their e–god faithfully, will interrupt your live talk with them in the service of/to their e–god.
Fast forward to circa 2023; most portable e–devices do not work, or not properly anyway, if it is not perpetually connected to (or caught up in) The Web. There are only a hand full of phone apps, out of millions, that will work without a data connection; everything is becoming dependent upon an Internet connection, just to function. First dependency, then exploitation.
Eventually, all e–devices, even home equipment, will require an Internet connection to work at all, and, it does not take a Prophet to see it coming. A (proverbial) dependency on the drug dealer to get ones fix is how predators have always become rich and powerful, doing anything. In the Drug Dealer Strategy , a few cheap samples (℞ or not) are given until the users are hooked; this sucks them in and they become life–long customers. Predation and parasitism is capitalism.
This is assuredly that Big Brother, All Seeing Eye prediction that Science Fiction writers assumed would come; it is indeed, what the scripture Oracles predicted long before that. And what is most ironic about it, is that those who study scripture, are themselves the victims of it all, but are oblivious to it: Matthew Seven Christians (Matt 7 :13–23). The only All Seeing Eye we all should be concerned about, is Adonai Elohim.
The empire–building, possession hungry, colonizing capitalists, have been monetizing everything (and almost everyone) on Earth, since well before the first century: The basics of slavery and/or economic subjugation are well known topics to all serious students of scripture.
Even my Spiritual brothers and fellow Messianic disciples from the first century, could not fathom a world, freed of slavery, at least on some level; they wrote letters to distant fellowships familiar to them, clearly acquiescent of the practice (Eph 6 :5–9; Col 3 :22–24; 1Pe 2 :18): But I understand their intentions.
But empire building, psychologically and morally, is all about lordship; it is all about domination and dominionship; it is all about control, and control always requires data (personal information), via Social Media data mining . Satan, the god of this world, and its human era, was (and is) all about, all of these things. Satan's people teach domination to the next generation, perpetuating the sin–evil; this will continue until the return of The King.
Satan, the rebellious and defiant, as a dominator, hungered to be The God of the universe, and YHVH banished Satan because of it. Humans do not have all the details of these past celestial events (like, were they once physical beings?), but we do know that Satan and his entourage, were left (incorporeal) on this planet, likely to test the resolve of this new soul–endowed species called humans being. Those humans who adore Satan, are themselves the dominators.
This Life Is Not Even About This Life !! Luke 12 ).
Those who are Satan–like, are those willing for such poison; these are represented in the masses of predestined humans, who do not know or just do not care to know. They are not aware that our Adonai Elohim, is observing and recording, uninterrupted and completely uninvolved, the natural course of all things that randomly unfold, as we humans engage in corporeality.
Does one truly believe that an afterlife is even more certain than this life? Absolutely believe in the Resurrection of the Saints? The answer is witnessed in that fruit on the tree for all to see; the proof of that is not religious consumerism, and in fact, all organized religion is a demonic distraction from such a genuine, unconditional faith. We who are called, just know; we need no "proof"!
The Greatest Attenuation To Faith Is Empiricism !!
¶ The Only Thing Worse Than Malevolence Is Indifference!!
(Back )
Therefore, the Satan driven masses, live this life as a display or an exhibition of their faithlessness, which expresses itself in how invested they become, in this life itself. Satan and the demon hordes have much to offer those, willing to follow their guidance, and mentality, and worldly temptations; people who will exchange eternality for a better temporal earthly life. They crave followship and are crippled by blind Enculturation .
Hence, the hunger lust for money power, social and/or sexual power; generically speaking, control. The primal–carnal manifestations of territorialism, and the warmongering bullies neverending Game of Thrones prisoners of geography , creating map lines, then threatening those others not like them, who attempt to cross.
These conqueror types, not only have no Love in them, they will live/die oblivious to what Love even means, all the while spouting the word noises and then believing them; a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal, indeed (1Co 13 ).
All the things that Love exposes to us, the Loveless (masses) are oblivious or blinded to. When we (humans) surrender unconditionally unto the supreme and eternal Lordship of Messiah Yeshua, and die to this life; die to the superego and to self-importance, and begin a profound personal relationship with YHVH, via the Indwelling Holy Spirit, we become, at first, possessive.
This is because that Oneness–level (Love) relationship is the very first real relationship any mere mortal can have; it is from this real and deep relationship that all others can begin, human to human: If you do not care about everybody, you really do not care about anybody.
We Are What We Do And No More !!
Prior to the Indwelling (of the) Holy Spirit, all humans had interacted with all other living beings, in predation mode; that is, everything and everyone was/is a potential resource; food or coitus or some other (indeed any other) corporeal gratification. Money economics has normalized this and increased its frequency.
Today, everyone looks at other people as a means to a materialistic end, of one sort or another: Mammon economics has made almost everyone predators and parasites, and like a mosquito, they keep sucking hard until there is nothing left, or until they are forced away, and they do not care, so long as the blood is flowing. Once bone dry, or forced away, they just go onto their next prey in proximity. Sadly, there are few honorable connections (Phl 3 ); a sign of the Eschaton.
The worldly masses have little to no interest in being Messianic disciples, because Christianity, self–beliefs, religious academics (John 5 :39–40), and church attendance or ritual services, is all they think matters. Even when they church they dress to impress; they are conquered continuously by what others think of them; this is a fruit of unrighteousness. The Heaven destined dress ready for Labor always.
But this is why they are the prophesied Matthew Seven Christians. These kind will not seek a daily–dying, life–altering, lifestyle–reversing Messianic discipleship; a deeper than marriage–level, personal relationship with their Maker; and this is because they are seared minded ; blind; unwoke; (1st Tim 4 :1–3; 2Th 2 :11–12; John 3 :19–21); convinced that the consumption of cultural Christianity is the ticket to Heaven.
Unfortunately, none of the unrepentant will be bodily Resurrected. Instead, they will remain incorporeal but awakened from their death sleep, swiftly Judged , and then cast deep deep into empty outer space; into eternal Darkness . Satan wins by keeping living people, asleep to the evil they are deep within; keep them asleep and obvious to the demonic realm itself. And yet, it is the christianized who are the most fooled; and the most accountable, by holding scripture in such high regard, all the while, blinded to it and thus by it.
Every Saved Soul recognizes the demonic influences embedded in Social Media, but the christianized masses are unconscious of it, and reading this disciples words right now, still cannot move them toward the Messianic Cross, because they are deceived into thinking they are already there, via the religion of Christianity: The prophesy of Matthew Seven fulfilled; predestination revealed. But there are no future bodily resurrected, Heaven bound, Spiritually metamorphosized Messianic disciples using Social Media.
