What is the source of sin? How do the Demons get in?
What is the source of Sin? What is Sin, even? Well, it’s lies. It’s the lies we tell about ourselves, both to ourselves and others, which we then need to compound with other lies, to support those previous, until eventually, “drama” happens.

Memory Loss, Ascension, and Dementia
In the context of ascension and memory loss, one could argue that those who experience memory loss or cognitive decline might be undergoing a deeper, spiritual process of shedding their earthly attachments, just as some spiritual traditions describe the process of personal ascension.

The confusion between The Second Coming and Armageddon
While the Second Coming of Christ is clearly a spiritual event about salvation, it has been misunderstood or misrepresented by several Christian groups throughout history.

The mother goddess in Mesoamerica
The concept of a global Mother Goddess cult that believed it was a Goddess that is the source of creation as we know it, seems a strong one. As is the notion that it used very similar iconography and conceptualisations, which started quite vague and simplistic, but developed in complexity over time, and existed from the Palaeolithic to at least the end of the Bronze Age. This came to be replaced, often by force, by a patriarchal focussed cult which has resulted in most of the worlds religions we see today.

Sovereignty and the Authority Problem
You are a sovereign being. Sovereign essentially means “self-possessed”, or in other words, you own yourself. Nobody else is capable of directing or governing your body or your mind except yourself.
