Anthony Fowler83 said:Exactly. Woo doo is just this messy cocktail of original Black rituals and Catholicism. That’s the result of conversion: they handed us a religion that is dangerously destructive (especially for people like us).
Things get incredibly blurry here when you start looking at terminology, so let me list a few points: it’s a known thing that there are malevolent spiritual beings—entities, demons, whatever you want to call them—that respond to names like Jesus and Mary and things of that sort. I wasn't aware, but of course, I take your word for it: what’s more logical than some powerful players naming their own kind after those names and then foisting them upon us whenever they feel like it? So: beware!
Whether that young man fell into woo doo out of pure curiosity or was someone else's victim, I simply don't know. I didn't ask him; honestly, I felt far too much pity for him. Just a kid from Washington, D.C., getting caught up in something like that... but then again, the world has become a global village.

I can't help but add one more thing: thank you for quoting me so I wouldn't have to. I said that Black people are DIFFERENT FROM White people; whoever suggested that one group would be BETTER than the others was just stating their own opinion! I have nothing to do with that; I am completely clean of such filth. But there it is—it inadvertently came out as a TEST OF RACISM. Whoever wrote that has racism so deeply woven into their very being that they can't even fathom that there are people among us who don't possess even a shred of it.
And once more: I DESPISE RACISTS, perhaps more than any other kind of villain.
And again:
TO ME, RACISM IS ABSOLUTE EVIL—THE ULTIMATE EVIL—THE SOURCE OF ALL EVILS THAT ARE NON-HUMAN.

Anthony Fowler83 said:Look, I’m just an ordinary little Roman Catholic woman, but I can tell you for a fact that my prayers have done wonders for the people I love. Just recently, a dear friend of mine was on her deathbed—she had basically already let go when I heard the news. My friend and I prayed with everything we had, and in that very moment, she made this miraculous recovery. And the crazy thing? She had no idea we were even praying for her since she doesn't live here in the States.
I’ve used prayer for my own healing and deliverance too, and it worked so well that even my doctor—who is a total atheist materialist—says the only possible explanation for my "medical miracle" is the power of prayer. There are all sorts of prayers out there; you’ll find them easily, regardless of whether you're Orthodox or Muslim.
As for that girl... don't try to go against her will. You can technically use magic to force someone to "love" you, but believe me, it always ends badly.
We White Americans are different from Black people and other races; this kind of stuff just isn't our business. I once knew a young man who was a victim of voodoo, and I’m telling you, he suffered immensely—both physically and spiritually—before he was finally saved by Catholic deliverance prayers. Just Google "deliverance prayers," "healing prayers," and things like that; you'll see how powerful they really are.
And, like anyone would tell you: be careful not to get tangled up in something you won't be able to escape... Good luck on your journey!

If you're just an "average little Catholic girl," then you should know exactly whose rituals you're performing. You should also know whose rituals were what actually saved that guy who was a victim of voodoo. Because if you think about it, that falls under Catholic magic too, and it's essentially the same type of ritual! 😍
Even Jesus and Mary are asked to cause harm to someone sometimes. 😲Those aren't Catholic rituals. 😍

So where’s the goose missing from this? 👍😍

So, where is the most ordinary bottle?

Yeah, seriously, where is it? 😬🤣🤣

Yeah, the USA—specifically Jerusalem 2. There was never actually any real schooling there. I really mean *never*.
The real education happened back in Egypt, and then you’d head over to Europe if you were trying to make a name for yourself. ☕
But honestly, if you had made it down to Mexico, you would've been sipping cacao right alongside Kukulkan. ☕

The East is where the roots live. It’s tradition. You don't need some hollow lattice from the West. That's just canopy without a trunk—pure ego.
The West says: "I worship the leaves, but I can't even see the tree." 🙏🙏 🙂
The ruler of the West is Sekhmet, the lioness, a fierce offspring.
The ruler of the East is Bastet, the cat. They’re sisters, sure, but they exist in this very specific tension.
So, where does that leave the secret of the Strength card in the Tarot? ☕👍
Everything in the West has always been purely mental—heavy on the psyche, light on the soul. 🙂
In the East, everything has always been practical. You act first, then you think. You stay quiet and honor the tradition. I’m still doing the exact same exercises today that I was doing fourteen years ago when I started. That means I’ve put in 14+7=21 years of work.
There is no liberation for a mind that only exists to collect information. Not even within "practice."
The East doesn't bother with "philosophy" as a separate thing. Philosophy is just life, practice, and religion all rolled into one. There’s no distinction.
In the West, the rule is basically "divide and conquer." There are endless philosophies, endless religions, and endless "practices," yet not a single real one among them. 😂😂😂
Has suffering become a taboo? in Spirituality ·
Blaise said:Desire isn't really the issue here. Nobody actually wants to suffer—that just isn't how humans (or even animals) are wired.

But what happens when it turns out that suffering actually serves a purpose or carries some kind of meaning?

That’s just desperate nonsense. You’ve basically just spelled out a formula for pure evil! 😁🙂

Thanos said:Honestly, I feel the exact opposite. To me, chasing pure pleasure and total ecstasy is the whole point of being alive. If some people want to go out of their way to suffer, let 'em.

HOLY SHIT! Every single day I become more convinced that absolutely nobody is ever going to top or even move past what Aleister Crowley was doing! 😲

So, what am I gonna say? I’m totally agreeing with myself here! 👍😂😂

LONG LIVE BAD! BAD IS GOOD! GOOD IS BAD! 👍 Look, you can't lecture someone who just doesn't get it. Faith is basically just a tool for the masses, right? Religion isn't some personal ID card you carry around—it’s either pure corruption or just something marketed to consumers. God is the ultimate equilibrium; there's no such thing as good or bad, left or right. You idiots! Absolute morons!
Denial is never the answer. Real faith is just denying God altogether. Christianity is nothing more than Satanism. Long live Gnosticism! AMOUN! 👍😂😂😂😂

But look, I’ve finally stumbled upon the ultimate truth about Chris, and honestly, this might be the single greatest bit of wisdom you’ll ever encounter in your life—mostly because you don't seem to be the most observant person out there, 😂😂

'Chris wasn't just some guy's dog.' 👍

He’s a brother to those who carry out the will of our Heavenly Father...

Don't go thinking I'm the only one convinced I'm right here. Everyone thinks they're in the right, honestly. We all have our own path to walk, our own burdens to carry, and our own mistakes to pay for, but...

Chris is a brother to those who act upon His Will. Or, if you want to get technical, to those who actually possess that Will! 👍

But when you look at the actual facts, all we really know is that Chris was considered a heretic. 🙏
There isn't anything else about him that we can say for certain!
Everything else is just stuff culture cooked up rather than actual truth! 👍

And personally? I value the truth a little bit more than even God does! 👍 😂😂😂
I really hope you can see the distinction between the two—it'll be better for you in the long run! 😂😂

Hannah Thompson2 said:You say you're laughing, but then you just keep dropping all these emojis everywhere.

The cross is about symbolism,

He’s a brother to anyone actually doing the Father's will! 🙂

I know you don't buy into this, but I'm not going to mock you for being a skeptic. Just because you don't accept Chris doesn't mean you should make fun of Him.

Look, I'm not mocking Chris. He was a brother to us—what I'm mocking are the dogs who've been clinging to his tail!😂 😂😂

bumbar said:Are you laughing at all Christians, or just me?

I mean, what else am I supposed to laugh at? 😁 I'm just sitting here waiting for you guys to get crucified; Jesus isn't your brother. 😂😂😂😂

Honestly, there’s nothing more embarrassing than being seen struggling! 😂😂😂

Hannah Thompson2 said:Look, I truly believe there’s no salvation without the cross. To me, that means suffering—or sacrifice—is an absolute necessity. It's just part of the deal.

😂

Honestly, I feel like the people who actually find happiness around here aren't even from this dimension—they’re just cosmic travelers who finally found where they belong.

Absolutely, man. No doubt about it. 👍
Loving humanity in Spirituality ·
masterblaster said:Does a spiritually awakened person experience love differently than someone who isn't? Or is it basically the same thing?

But of course they do! It’s like having a full multi-course meal versus just snacking on crumbs—it's a completely different level of intensity! 😂 😂 😂

Honestly, someone living without that awareness isn't even truly feeling love at all. 👍
Loving humanity in Spirituality ·
Pure love for humanity! 😂 😂 😂

Man... it’s such a shame that love is treated like a feeling rather than an actual relationship. If it were the latter, we wouldn't be stuck just throwing affection toward the mindless masses we've grown so used to 😂 😂

1)Exactly! It’s like saying you're going one way while Google is heading the complete opposite direction!
2)How can you say that isn't true? It's practically built into the name: Zen-Google! 😂 😂 😂 😂
