The war on dreams, and on sleep itself, is a war to separate man from deep connection and sacred learning. Lately in all writhing out there I saw many trying to demonize dreams and sleep. Research efforts to end it and sleep as well. To enforce separation for utility.
@TheWord222 Cypher never got to go back. Once that door is open there is no closing it. You can run from it, and delay it, numb out, but the truth will call you back and it's always hurts to realize that you turned from it. But mercy is infinite. And the workload is massive, needs all hands.
The truth makes people big mad sometimes. Vampires go ballistic when they see their own reflections in the world. Can't hide from the light when it's reflected from the ground, and it burns the illusions away they protected themselves with.
When Jesus said that those "that have" will be given more, and those who have not, even that which they have will be taken from them, he was not advocating this behavior. He was explaining how "the world" works. He also said that "you are not of this world".
The disciples could have reasoned, โJesus is here, therefore there cannot be a storm.โ But that's not what Jesus was teaching. The storm happened while Jesus was with them. That's crucial. Faith says, โThe storm is real, but Christ is greater than the storm.โ
@Cult_Film_Fan Paul was in a rock and a hard place trying to bring Romans, greeks and Jews under one roof. People wanted law and formalized traditions. Probably one of the hardest missions of the apostles. But it's still questionable how much of those letters are actually Paul. Telephone game.
On this day 25 years ago, the illusion of safety was broken. Another generation was traumatized. Fear was instilled in many. And tyrants used it to manipulate the masses like a blank check.
@Thomasdelvasto_ By design of gatekeepers who wanted to make money and stand over them. Keep them too busy and distracted to develop spiritually because then they might threaten their monopoly. Wolves in sheepskins.
