[Father Christopher @FChristopher77]

"No one and nothing can take Christ out of our hearts. If you have received Communion even once in your life, He remains there.

For the Holy Bread which came down from Heaven - that is, Christ - gives life to those who partake of Him; and whoever eats of this Bread will live forever.

And this Blood, when received worthily, drives out the demons and removes them far from us, while calling to us the angels and the Master of the angels.
For when they see the Most Pure Blood, the demons flee, and the angels hasten to help us.”

St. Cyril of Alexandria

@Angeltianshixo Nutritional rehab, it took me a yesr and s half of eating a lot and I just regained normal hunger cues.(Mostly nutrient dense but some UPFs). Cravings are gonna be off for a while. Strength training in moderation help(like 2-3x a week for hormones)

Both at the Birth and at the Resurrection of Christ, a woman is the first to perceive the Grace.

when they talk about ‘socializing’ what they actually mean is acclimating your kid to the torture chamber

Homeschool so that other people don't tell your child when they can or cannot poop.

In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

[Matthew Pirkowski @MattPirkowski]

In the same way that video games hijack the evolved masculine need for achievement-mediated feedback in the world beyond the wall, these classes hijack the evolved feminine need for embodied mimetic entrainment within a society's walls.

By separating ourselves from the natural contexts in which our instincts evolved, we create market niches driven by a kind of phantom limb syndrome for each dislocated instinct.

Learn to spot supernormal sublimation / parasitization, as it's the meta business model within the self-imposed zoo we call modern civilization.

Youth mental health has become a boutique identity industry which no longer addresses questions regarding psychopathology characterizing individuals. Rather, it glamorizes personality idiosyncrasies leading to narcissistic self-expression abetted by diagnostic shopping.

We initially thought GLP-1s like Ozempic, Tirzapeptide and Retatutride just reduced food cravings. Now, we know they work for alcohol, cocaine, gambling and other addictions too

But do you know what runs on exactly the same circuit?

Falling in love

GLP-1 receptors sit in the exact same brain regions that light up when you’re in love

The insane thing about them is that they don’t just suppress appetite. They suppress wanting in general, including romantic craving another person

Something like 60M+ people are now on anti-desire drugs and it happened in the blink of an eye

I predict in the coming years, we will see people on these drugs be less able to fall in love. We will also see them fall out of love, or be unable to feel it, in relationships that were previously great

If your girlfriend or boyfriend started taking GLP1s and your relationship started failing, there’s a good chance that’s why
