Ahhh... Jeff... Some fresh air of logic and sanity. We are on the same plateau but you are more indepth and very informative. Over 60 yrs ago a primary school playground saying that has stuck with me right thru college. "You can catch a cold ... but you can't catch a virus." Cheering you on ....
And think about this, it is bad for busine$$ if we rely on our natural immunity, not to mention they can’t control you either. Do you want to continue being their guinea pigs and lab rats?! How about pushing HEALTH and getting out of the medical and big pharma cartels?
We all agree that viruses are non-living, so they could not have a brain or digestive tract or wings to fly! If viruses were outside invaders, out to get us, we would be sick, all the time, never a break or even extinct! Just think about that, from that basic level, it doesn’t add up…. We have a microbiome and a virome, all part of our whole body immune system. Live not in fear! Be happy and free knowing you were wonderfully made…
I feel easier to accept your entire ideas perhaps for I am Traditional Chinese Medicine -hobbier ,which treats varied illness without considering the Germ theory whatsoever . for example yesterday I got a distending pain on my right botttom abdomen , which was acute appendicitis I thought
then I used a prescription composed of five herbs . I happend to have four of them rhubarb ,peony root peel, peach kernel ,and wax gourd kernel , quantity I applied is 2g ,1g,2g and 4g .
three dose in 24 hours then done. So as you say , it is necessary for nowadays people to open mind to introspect some history and theories if you really care about yourself , family and truth
Hi Jeff, thank you for your unwavering care for truth and courage to express it. I especially appreciate your engagement in the comments! I'm replying to this article because it's the only one I could find that touches on the "Mystery Schools" though I have heard you talk about the Mystery Traditions and New Age deception in a podcast I have been unable to find again. As a fellow seeker of truth, I'm sure you'll agree that no perspective is complete, since a perspective is a limited projection of an unlimited object (Truth itself). I'm writing both to get a better sense of your views on this topic, and to offer my perspective which I hope will inspire you to continue seeking truth in this area.
For brief context around my perspective, I have spent the majority of my life as a Christian, earnestly seeking to grow and become more like Christ, but I was never comfortable with dogmatic thinking. At some point I hit a developmental plateau, yet I persisted in attending weekly services and home groups until one day I found the axiom "Everything is true from a perspective" repeating in my mind, though I couldn't remember where I'd heard or read it. On pondering it, I realized there are many valid interpretations of that statement. This gave me courage to question the beliefs I'd been raised with, which was necessary to break through the fear that kept me from looking from other perspectives regarding spirituality. To make a long story short, I explored and eventually came full circle to find even more appreciation for the truth contained in the beliefs I was raised with, but with more discernment to see the areas of misinterpretation and/or deception that corrupt every system of belief.
What I discovered is that when it comes to spirituality, words and ideas vary greatly yet point to the same eternal Truth. The Mystery Traditions which Jesus himself studied and demonstrated with his life for the benefit of the common man are only one example. This information has been called by many names, including "occult" which I was raised to interpret as roughly synonymous to "evil." But now I see it only means "hidden," and the truth is information itself cannot be 'good' or 'evil.' Instead, what is evil is the concealing or distortion of this knowledge to use against the nescient. This use of the knowledge is sometimes referred to as "dark occult" or "service-to-self," to distinguish from the "light occult" or "service-to-others" who do everything in their power to share this information with others so they may empower themselves against the antagonists, and to know themselves to a greater degree and become more aligned with Creation.
Dark occultists sow seeds of truth corrupted by lies and deception, misleading people into self-defeating conclusions as you point out, like the egoistic belief that "I am God." The New Age movement contains much truth, but is also rampant with such corruption. I think this applies to every major religion, even Christianity. But that does not mean the entirety should be discarded. There is a way to interpret "I am God" such that it is true, not in an egoistic belief sense but in a higher knowing sense. As a Christian, you have the Holy Spirit residing in you. When you are in the state of identification with that Spirit, I hope you'll agree that the statement "I am God" is not wrong. It is simply a question of which "I" is meant. Of course, this perspective is likely foreign to most Christians who often repeat mantras like "I'm just a sinner, saved by Grace" which I see as a self-defeating belief that hinders spiritual growth, masquerading as humility. If you've truly been saved by Grace, you are a new creation and the old self is no longer "you."
This is all to say that I think it is a grave error to lump all such information together under the label of evil or deception, just like it is a grave error to claim "viruses do not exist" and that the entire field of virology should be discarded indiscriminately. As you have found truth in virology and used discernment to separate it from the misconceptions, I would implore you to do the same with spiritual perspectives and beliefs.
A great example of "light occultism" is this website, where you may recognize many ideas related to the Mystery Traditions but without the blatant deceptions and misdirection you may be expecting. This is the ongoing work of one person, who is transparent about his sources, inspiration, and methods for obtaining and formulating these graphics and their accompanying text.

It’s amazing to me how fear is able to control people, myself included. It takes a lot of hard work to change one’s mindset.
Thanks for your work. Check my site if you are able to do an interview.
