In the beginning was the Word! God didn't begin his story with "I promise I won't rug you". A Man, a decent man, when he says something it is that way and that way only. Promises, oaths and whatnot are not a good start, to say the least.
Yesterday for Trump Inauguration we witnessed the swearing in ceremony of JD Vance and then Donald J. Trump.
The ceremony invocation was led by some Christian Ministers and the benediction was led by a Rabbi and two more Christian Ministers. This was very nice.
But let's talk about swearing in.

Mat 5:33-37 KJV ¶Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
34. But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne:
35. Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
36. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

That's pretty clear to me. How about military service? How about going to court?
Are we so corrupt that the obvious is brushed under the rug? We even swear on the Bible that says: "Swear not at all." Those are Jesus'words.
A great example of why swearing and oaths are no good is in the Mahabharata. More than once a ruler or potential ruler makes a noble oath and gets his behind handed to him.
We in this modem age take oaths and break them with impunity, carelessness or inside we have knots of stress or consciousness that physically render us I'll. It's no good.
Any thoughts on this?
Do we want true freedom or do we want lip service?
Why don't we just say, "Thank you for the opportunity to serve or testify. It is my intention to do a great job."

I always think of rug-pulls being the practical term for magic carpet rides.
Even MAGA is Sanskrit, Latin and Greek for Magi...

Let's see where the warlocks and witches roam today.
Still wishing my president the best but there are plenty of demons hungry for action.
When playing Tower in Heroes III, there a 4th level unit called Mage. When you upgrade it - Arch Mage. My mind jumped to one of my childhood' fav game. 😁
Oh, and all archers of all Towns get to be Enchanters for their final upgrade. Interestingly, enchanters are considered neutral. Maybe enough wisdom makes you not want to harm others. Their specialty is to enhance others' skills mostly. I loved that game.
The three "wise" men were Magi
Mat 2:1-2 KJV Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2. Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

I mean if the Romans knew where Jesus will be born, I'm sure that the Easterners were at least as competent as them to interpret the lore and the signs. The Romans occupied a vast area and took at least a 150y margin, just to be sure they'll have their mark. Funny enough, J and his family managed to escape their filters. I'm not done digging into the 3 Magis traveling all that way just to meet baby J. There are talks about a fourth one tho who didn't make it for some reason. Since the conception was immaculate so the protection from above was top notch. Harming the little one was not on the table. Let aside the symbolism of the gifts offered, there's something else at play here. One day I'll know more. 🐸
I think the star was Venus. In December it is quite prominent with the moon. The argument about the actual time of Jesus' birth is not important to me.
Astrology is not important to me.
I've been given the scripture and the epiphany material but also the direct pointing as to how I need to conduct my life via the Living God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
We know that the Moon and Venus are symbolic for the Virgin. The feminine who is sacred but also the feminine that is the base from which the void we find creation.
To look too much into this is the folly of the ego and distraction from the divine. Lucifer being the morning star until he was not and then Jesus acknowledging that he is in fact the morning star. Venus is the morning star.
Jesus is most certainly not androgenous. He's a dude and not a soft malaka!
I'm directed to state this:
The mental gymnastics are nice but they are personal and direct and not to be presented as the truth. The truth has been presented in plain language and it's here for the disciples to review.
Yes, agreed.
I will only mention that JC spoke on two levels: literally for the absolute majority of the listeners and directly for His initiates.
Although He didn't went to Ivy League Schools, He possessed all the abilities available at that time of the human evolution and more. What intrigued me for a long period was His mention of a future time where His followers would be able to do great deeds because of the context of said times. I believe "the naturals" will eventually have to encounter the offspring of the transhumanists. Preparation is key! 😇
Already in Matthew his disciples can heal and drive out demons. There were also others using his name who his disciples chastised but Jesus told them that those who sincerely use his name can do no harm.
The exoteric and esoteric is mental masterbation.
There is no in club. There is in the way club. As a matter of fact Jesus will reveal himself to those who ask.
Be impeccable with your word.
Normie masses are too big. He cannot fight them all in a frontal assault. He must trick them. He tricks them by playing democracy. Democracy needs elections. Elections need promises.
All that does not matter. By guns or by tricks, he is a global king since 2016 non-stop. And if his successors do not fail (never happened anywhere in history except Thailand), he will never stop.
I wish him good nevertheless, but I don't share your opinion.
