Has 'The Book' changed my life? Has my own faith changed?
I'll tell you my story, and you be the judge.
I was raised Catholic, by a Catholic family on my paternal side. I even went to Catholic school.
So there is no contreversy, I was always a Chistian. My faith did change however.
I was 9 years old when my father / mentor / best friend, died in a brutal car accident.
You could say it was a murder, as a group of robbers set a trap on a rural road in Morocco, for the sole purpose to rob the content of the vehicle. We (mother, brother, and I) were following in another car, and I saw my father's bloody body.
From that day on I became a traumatized child for almost 2 years. After that, I became angry at God.
Same belief in the creator, but angry at him. Until one day, my 10 year old daughter gave me a lecture.
I don't know how she found the words, but she made my anger disappear, and I renewed my trust in God.
She was always too smart, and still is.
In 2010, I came to the realization that my many injuries prevented me from being physically active.
Age was kicking in and my body became very painful when pushed too hard. So I started reading and writing, and one of the main book I directed my attention to was the Bible. A friend had given me a KJV Bible. I then realized that Catholics rarely read original texts from the Bible. I know I never did. I read verses of the Bible. The priests read verses of the Bible. In Catechism we studied verses of the Bible.
So, I decided to read the whole text. It was difficult reading, but it took me about 6 months to go from cover to cover.
And one read lead to a second more in deapth not read, but research. I began to recognize how the different authors were telling the same stories in various ways, and how parts related to other parts. From Psalms to Songs of David, from ancient testament to new testament, there was so much intertwined stories, that it even lead me to read the Book of Enoch, the Book of Jasher...
By now I realize that I've been back and forth between 3 books and a few others, and that it all makes perfect sense.
A third reading of the Bible was required, and now I tend to find the pages I need at the moment for the information I am interested in that often relates to the World today.
Russell Brand VS Jordan Peterson
This is a most interesting conversation of two very differing individuals that somehow, in the times We live, are coming closer.
There is an striking truth they divulge about communication in our times.
They go as far as comparing 1950's Television and the New formats such as YouTube to share ideas and how those podcasts will remain very likely after they've past.
Unlike Television that can only be viewed one time and then forgotten. The scripting of interviews only allowed by a higher controlling body.
It is true that YouTube is becoming censored and the podcast speakers tend to censor themselves to avoid deletions or penalties. But there are many more platforms sprouting from this censorship (BitChute, Rumble, Odysee, etc...)
I myself use YouTube for entertainement and what is somewhat within the narative of the controllers. It is a most powerful platform, that can proppel and disseminate to the World, with almost no limit, any accepted entertainement of podcast. And it is somewhat amazing how one video can lead to another. Good example is this 3 video series I just posted.
Years ago, I was researching demonstrations of two of my favorite (I've practiced my self over the years) Martial Arts.
As I was searching for TaeKwon Do demos, I fell on a Korean dojo called the 'K Tigers'. One of the videos offered was a demo executed on music. This led me to the original music group performance of 'Boom Boom' by Momoland. I was struck at the quality and entertaining sound and dance (Kpop). Enjoying the first, I looked at other Music videos, and eventually landed on apparently, at the time, the most popular female (I don't enjoy as much male performances when it comes to dance) Kpop group 'BlackPink'. At the time their YouTube channel had about 18 million subscribers. It now has over 72 million subscribers.
Considering that South Korea has a population of 51 million, it is quite a reach into the World.
I tend to post on YouTube what is the least controvercial. For contrevertial and censored content, I first posted on BitChute, and then recognized Rumble as another uncensored platform.
2019 was the year of overt censorship by the World's leading corporations.
I'd deliver a warning about BitChute: the content is pretty much without limit. Rumble is a little more limited and a bit more organized.
