  • Conversant Christians: The Resurrection and Ascension of our Redacted, Regurgitated, and Radicalized Religion

    No thanks to our pansophic, political, and ‘so called’ pious leaders.

    Enrolling in the rebellion is easy. Simply ask yourself if demons and angels – heaven and hell – good and evil exist. Do you believe in a creator with wisdom and insight enough to know life on Earth, never mind all things in the universe and beyond could and would not exist, grow, or continue without the potential energy conversion created by two equal but opposing forces‽

    If you answered YES, please leave a comment that explains why, what you have seen or the things you’ve experienced to make you so certain of the cosmic conflux between good and evil.

    If your answered NO, then go back to the beginning. Do not pass GO. Do not collect the prize. You clearly have scales covering your eyes and are one of the poor souls who have swallowed demonic deceit hook, line, and sinker. Unfortunately for you, the last crossroad was 2000 years in the past. Now there is no amount of money to pay or nothing anybody can say to stop your devolution and death… barring an exorcism, according to Pope Leo.

    ¶But wait… by mercy and grace, there is a second chance promised. One so brilliant and overt there will be no denying it. The New Testament tells us that no one knows the day or hour, but those that are ready will hear the call, see the signs, and gather the elect who ascend as judges.

    And yes… that means the next realm holds tables for those that see and believe and can make that leap of faith even though they are underdressed, ill-equipped, and late to the party. Even while images of Mario in Donkey Kong pop into my head I cannot help but think how very Christ like the invitation.

    If you’ve made it this far it should be easy to see how this whole Christianity thing is all about moving forward, reaching the next level, saving souls even before they know they need saving. Christ was, indeed, my favorite rebel. So humble in his pinpointed arguments against the dark abandon.

    He gave His life not to defeat his brother in arms, but rather shatter the myopic view of the dark into thousands of tiny bits.

    Oh, blasphemer you call me at the suggestion that Lucifer was Christ’s brother.

    How easily you forget who the creator is. So, let me send you into the following history lesson with one filter: John 1:5 – “The Light shines in the darkness and the darkness does not overcome it,” 

    In Ezekiel 28:12–19, Satan is depicted as an anointed guardian cherub who was created in perfection, full of wisdom and beauty, and placed in Eden, the garden of God to protect it. General knowledge tells us he enjoyed the fruits of creation, until pride cast him against the creator and he was banished from the garden. Satan, was the original rebel but never cast from God’s presence. The Book of Job, which takes place centuries after Eden, depicts Satan still presenting himself before God and moving freely between Heaven and Earth (Job 1:6-7).

    In the great scheme of things, Satan was and is necessary. The Father knew this. Isaiah 46:10 declares God’s omniscience as knowing beginning to end, indicating His complete knowledge and control over future events: “I declare the end from the beginning, and from ancient times what is still to come.”

    According to the quran, written some 2000 years after the Torah, Satan is referred to as God’s first created being, giving him the name Azazil: “morning star”- rising light from the east. To which muslims still pray, believing it that which they could not live without. The most high. I must remind you and hopefully them, that the Pharos were ousted for believing the sun was God.

    God created the sun.

    Genesis 1:16 says “God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.” This is to say that rest from the light of day also provides what we need to survive. Both light and darkness promote health, healing, and the wholeness in mind, body, and spirit.

    What I’m trying to describe is how the histories of Satan and Christ are the platforms we jump from in the virtual realization of our soul. The choice is ours.

    The problem is the fact that the Catholic church disavowed The Book of Enoch and the Dead Sea Scrolls which confirmed ancient scriptures that help us understand. Now we do not have the hacks volume that lets us win. If you have not read The Book of Enoch or heard the debate regarding the Dead Sea Scrolls, stop here and do some research, reading, and then return to move ahead.

    Fortunately for us, Jesus promised “there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.” Luke 8:17 

    Have you ever wondered what other secrets the forty days between Christ’s resurrection and ascension might hold? What the Essene Gospels from Christ’s time traveling the Asian continent reveal about how He thought and what He taught? What his soul mate, Mary Magdalene, might have to say about their time together and what He told her as the first person to see Him in divine form?

    I cannot help but wonder why His confirmed divinity was redacted to eight sightings; a convenient and defendable number to ascribe in theological theory. I mean, maybe I’m lambasting, but does it make sense that God didn’t make a bigger effort to connect the dots for humanity after the suffering and supplication of His earthbound son. Can’t logic finally trump theory?

    We are and have been kept in the dark. Literally.

    Speaking of which, cant we all (except the muslims) finally agree that it is the convergence of the masculine with the famine to which all that is divine is born: Love, family, legacy, wholeness, healing, and the future… presupposes if not confirmed by the paramount importance placed upon the union of man and woman. Not man and man. Not woman and woman.

    I question why the Catholic church continues to refuse to assign Mary Magdalene her rightful place as Christ’s wife, spiritual partner, and favored apostle. Why they’ve ordained same sex marriage. Why church leaders bow to the influence of politics instead of saving souls. What are they hiding? Or who, exactly, has the goods on them?

    Yet, I hold on to my faith and truly believe the Father knew all of this shit was going to go down all along.

    I am sure you’ve got a question or two after this little history lesson in divine ascension. Just stop asking the teachers and preachers. They have neglected to see that their baskets of fish are empty. The pantheon of learned leaders is as corrupt as every politician. The academic annals of ascendance are as anemic as Lucy Westenra.

    Luke 12:2, declares, “There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.” 

    If you have made it this far, then you know the world is in chaos, the prophecies in the Bible are coming true, and you have felt or even struggled with a deep unspoken knowing that “the time is nigh”. You may have even, like me, begun to prepare with fasting, purification, and constant prayer.

    And like me, you may even feel the answer to that question bubbling a current of certainty in your spiritual caldron. A cauldron stewing with the fear of doubt and rejection society propagated for decades with a single and secular purpose: alienate you from the truth.

    While I burst at the seams with anticipation and knowing at the bold and undeniable revelation of His second coming, you know the one that will have the Jews and Christians assembling under one faith: God’s got this, I imagine Jesus knew His first go would get us only so far in the never ending war between good and evil.

    So, I don’t feel ashamed that I stopped going to church when my adulterous husband was afforded more accommodation and redemption than I, according to the church. And now I see his affair and the church’s abandonment of me and our two children as the best thing that could have happened. It proved God was still working for my good. He closed doors that were no long aligned with His purpose.

    Yes, that was more than forty years ago. But I don’t see the Catholic church or even our most recent and “Westernized” Pope making headway on archaic patriarchal oppression, spiritual growth of humanity, or the ascension of civilization as a whole. I mean come hell and highwater, Leo is blessing ice cubes to keep the AWFUL (political acronym for “affluent white female urban liberal) from dousing Christian artifacts in Campbell’s soup.

    If Leo had real faith in God, he would know better. He would help the anarchists, feminists, and satanists see that they are more to blame for the crazy imbalances in the world than constraint conservatives, politics, or wars. Teach them how to be grateful rather than create hate, division, and chaos. That both sides of a double edge sword kills.

    I believe God’s got this. I believe He has known the end from the beginning. And I believe humanity can pull itself together and rise to the next level in evolution. I pray that other’s see how history repeats itself because the confluence of all existence is cyclic. The cosmic fulcrum balancing good and evil, the line between light and dark belongs to God. Our place is to consciously choose balance of chaos in this never ending war. Ephesians 6:17 says it best. “The sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God is the believer’s weapon”.

    This lesson is more than biblical. More than ancient. If you do not want to believe in God, then go back to Sanskrit, Buddha, and other ancient teaching like the Tao, and Indus histories. But start somewhere. You will find evolution may seem like a slow train to nowhere, but it is better than the other option. We are warned in Deuteronomy 28:29  “At noon you will grope about like a blind person in the dark. 
     You will be unsuccessful in everything you do; day after day you will be oppressed and robbed, with no one to rescue you.” 

    The war between good and evil goes way beyond Israel and Iran. Open your eyes and do not be afraid to look deeper, further, and past the veil between realms. Spend more than 8 minutes on contemplating the redemption of your soul. I promise, it will be worth it in the end. The rewards are better than level 22.

  • There is no OZ When it Comes to Your Health

    “…GMOs, Monsanto… Oh my!

    “With growing concern over the use of pesticides, low nutritional value of hydroponic or commercially grown produce and the Frankenstein abomination known as genetically modified organisms (GMO) being the scariest thing to come out of food science laboratories since high-fructose corn syrup, the health food and supplement industry is now a $20-billion dollars a year business.”                                                                                         ~Laurianne Macdonald 2013

    Yes, I wrote it… but it is no longer true.

    The global dietary supplements market in 2024 was valued at approximately 481 billion, with a projected reach of 816 billion by 2033. The US raked in 78 billion of the 2025 fallen leaf pile, but more than 1/3 of the global gratis goes to Asian markets [1]. It does not matter that in one decade our supplementation and health food industry surpassed many other nation’s entire GDP, the balance in power over this market has big-pharma, Bill Gates, and a considerable amount of AG lobbyists chomping at the bit.

    At the same time… healthcare costs in the US skyrocketed, prescription drug expenditures are now 200x what they were in 2010, and Americans are more unhealthy than every other population in the world. Sadly, the FDA has recently allowed the introduction of lab-grown, biologically engineered, and an array of untested, unethical, and unnatural incantations into an already corrupt and suspect food supply.

    The lack of organic and slow-grown nutritionally optimized produce is the main culprit of why even those seeking healthy lifestyles, eating right, and living a balanced life are still struggling. It’s kind of like the difference between fishing and catching.

    Fast and high yield is every farmer’s wet dream. Even for our favorite ethical and organic growers. Unfortunately, quick to market is truly not that far from fast-food when it comes to nutrition. So as I said in 2013, Supplementing your diet is a must. “They” know that. Supplementing with high quality vitamins and essential nutrients is big-pharma’s latest golden idol.

    In my 2013 blog, I wrote “… not everyone has your health and wellbeing in mind when they offer advice, that latest cure-all elixir, or that next best supplement.” That is still true. No scientific computation, statistical synthesizing, or ‘political gerrymandering’ can change that mean, mode, or commutative fact. And we all now know the WHO’s condescending injunction to “follow the science” as the harbinger of truth is about as trustworthy as Biden’s autopen.

    My point being, as it was in 2013 with my very first blog, be an active participant and advocate in the search for healing and health. Do your research, and become an educated consumer.

    Another excerpt from the past that still holds water: “The last time I went to Whole Foods I brought a handful of questions about the herbal tincture everybody was talking about at the time. I walked out more confused and with a bag full of product I paid way too much for. After taking my son to the local GNC with hopes to learn which protein supplement is best for an athlete of his age and activity, I realized I knew more about the products on the shelf than the store manager.  I find the same to be the case at most health food suppliers and vitamin shops.“

    That may have seemed an unfair statement back in 2013, but only because at that time, just starting towards my degree in alternative medicine, there was a health food store and vitamin shop on every street corner. That is no longer the case. We’ve witnessed the coming and going of the best, replaced by commercialized and corporate branding boobytraps. You know, that stuff we’ve been conditioned to trust because they have street cred. Yup, they call you friend but sell you the fentanyl laced weed to make sure you come back for more.

    Before Covid-19, nature based treatment options and holistic or alternative remedies were being resurrected, rising once again from ashes, much like the magical and mystical phoenix. Why? Because the failures of allopathic medicine and the western healthcare system had grown like branches off Pinocchio’s nose. The collective consciousness was awake and aware and adept enough to question authority.

    After Covid-19, regurgitations of fear mongering and MK-Ultra like conditioning coming from the bowels of the AMA: A hydra-monster who resurfaces now again to devour whatever life saving and peace loving paradigm not pasteurized and incubated by big-pharma, political greed, or institutionalized government and healthcare systems, spewed its vomitus until another dystopic lens spawned a whole new breed of allopathic followers.

    Much like the crowds screaming from the pews at the Salem witch trials.

    Ironically, it is the atheist’s and Satanists clinging to the spar this time. Those myopic cyclopsisms stomp and push others out of their way while trying to find their way out of this century’s carnival house of mirrors. You can pick them out of the crowd now. They are the ones still wearing masks with their one eye parenthesized by blinders and blue fringe.

    I mean hell and witches… what but a curse of ignorance and blind bliss could convince an entire world population to mask up and inject God-knows-what into their veins only because the failing, greedy, soulless powers that be where afraid of losing their seat at the altar. Yes, it is clear to me this is spiritual warfare, the likes we’ve not seen in 2000 years.

    But take heart. Look at those pandemic power mongers and the devout disciples now.

    God warned, in Deuteronomy 28, He will strike people with “madness and blindness and confusion of heart,” resulting in them “groping at noonday, as a blind men gropes in darkness” and being unable to prosper in their ways. Spank me and call me Sally, if that doesn’t sound like the crazy-eyed democratic and liberal party participants that now span the globe. There are whole news programs, TikTok, and YouTube videos capturing their special kind of crazy in cameos and CCTV.

    Lately, the Looney-Tunes (Yes, I split the dif on the Mandela affect for literary effect) have also inspired an “If they can do it so can I” tact for the snake oil sellers and side-winding spellers. Just about anybody with white teeth and a Facebook, YouTube, X or TikTok account has self-published and is producing podcasts that tells you how to heal yourself.

    And you believe them.

    Why?

    Because since before you were born you have been conditioned to believe anyone with money or on television is an authority.

    Oz, O’Neill, Robbins, and so many more. Every day there is another. One more symptom to worry about. Another psychological illness to label and medicate. Something else that is wrong with us and needs fixing…. because they say so. Have you bothered to look into the references links, read for yourself the so-called scientific data? No worries. You are not alone. Most wont. They will take what they are told at face value because it came prepackaged in blue-light and micro-managed time limits that matched your viewing algorithms.

    Your physician, pharmacists, or even your liberal favorite politician will not save you. And not to go all zealots on you, but Mathew 15 offers the words of Jesus, “Every plant that My heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots”.

    So beware. Be aware. “You need a degree to wade through the plethora of propaganda and marketing mumbo-jumbo, if only to avoid worrying that something you’re taking may have contraindications, be toxic if used incorrectly, or counteract the effects of medications you are already taking.” [Excerpt 2013] Though originally written with more than a tone of sarcasm, the sentiment is cornerstone to my devotion to the services I offer. That is why I did get a degree in the alternative medicine and a master’s in public health with concentration in integrative medicine… not just a TikTok or YouTube account.

    That is why an Rx Audit is one of my favorite services. There are over 44,000 deaths and more than 250,000 hospitalizations because of Adverse Drug Events (ADEs) every year. Most of those caused by drug interactions. Covid-19 vaccines and everyday foods like grapefruit, coffee, and chocolate may affect the OTC and pharmaceuticals you take every day. Several drugs deplete your essential supply of minerals and vitamins, which need to be replaced on a daily basis.

    With an audit, you can eliminate dangerous drug interactions and optimize your health potential. It is the first step in seeking and optimizing your health potential.

    Now that my personal plug be over, I will finish with a prayer.

    Please Lord, my redeemer and salvation, I ask that in all your mercy and grace you free the people of all nations who have been fenced in, oppressed, and led to slaughter by the principalities, powers, and rulers of the darkness of this world. Let us all come together to pray for everyone put at mortal risk because of spiritual wickedness in high places.

    Help the dark ones shed scales from their eyes; that they might, like when they were children, once again see plainly all that is good and right and aligned with you, oh Lord.

    Pluck the stick that blinds our judges and cut off the right hand of the politicians, phoresies, and lawmakers that offend. Fill them with the Holy Spirit, causing such an ache their hearts are softened and their grip on greedy desires for continued power, riches, and all that is false and ugly be released. Let the scales in their eyes fall away that the next time they look in the mirror they recognize their eternal soul begging to be remembered. Let these sorrows ache in their stony hearts until they are softened and speak with remorse and move on actions of repentance for their constituents, their charges, and the oppressed in their care.

    Help them to have the courage to lead with divine insight and compassion, oh Lord, just as you with your mercy, grace, and goodness. Guide them in becoming testimony in transformation, redemption, and the power of your great and wonderful kingdom of eternal glory.

    For you are the only true King. The power and glory is yours forever. Amen.
