ST JOHN OF SHANGHAI ON THE SUNDAY OF ALL SAINTS OF RUSSIA
The feast of All Saints of Russia is not a feast of just righteous ones, but of saints. God is filled with holiness; "Holy is the Lord our God." But man is created in the "image and likeness" of God, and the Lord at creation breathed into him the power to partake of the Divine essence, and thereby come closer to God. And the closer a man is to God, the holier he is. Saints are those who have partaken of the Divine essence and made it their own; to God, they become "His own." The saints enjoy blessedness, for God is blessed. From them there is light for men. Through them the power of God is revealed
 
Celebrating the saints, we desire to be together with them and to acquire the power of God through their holiness. They know us, our nature, our characteristics and spirits, and they know our souls, too--what is necessary for us. We are close to them as children are close to their parents. The Apostle Peter prayed for his disciples. St. Demetrius of Thessalonica rushes to help the Greeks because this is his own nation. Sts. Boris and Gleb help their relatives (e.g., Alexander Nevsky), and their own Russian people.

0024 Volumes 36 - 40 How Blinding is Your Worldview

0024 Vol XXXVI = 36 What is the state of the noose being tightened around our economy and our population?  While the Government is spending Trillions of Dollars that can never be repaid, American Infrastructure rots, the supply chain comes under every increasing challenge and no responsible adults seem to be present.       The Fullen Dock and Warehouse just south of the broken bridge is the only "barge to truck" port for a very long distance on the Mississippi River.  I heard indirectly from a truck driver who drives the I55 corridor and loads and unloads at the Fullen Dock regularly; He said it was a madhouse with many hours delay. The facility is overwhelmed with stranded barges trying to offload containers to be moved by truck. He said that getting out of the area also takes extra hours due to multiple bottlenecks. The old bridge, sitting just downriver from the I40 broken bridge, has been undergoing major repairs and is closed to all but one traffic lane. They have the ba

Under Construction Bond Robin Video No 0024 Volume One on RUMBLE Bond Robin Video No 0024 Volume One on YouTube Bond Robin Video No 0024 Volume One on Bitchute November 2020 - January 14th, 2020 I started this article in early November, planning to make it a series of Videos. I made the first video below; then, the election battle took the place of Volume Two. It is quite amazing the examples that have arrived showing the handicap of a faulty or narrow worldview. Ignorance of history, ignorance of the places in the world, the geographical barriers, the cultural barriers makes one a blank slate, for the "programmers," i.e., the Behaviorist Conditioners, to write any story they choose upon the very tables of your heart, make you love and hate at will and cause you to accept the most ridiculous but coordinated lies one would imagine. I recently quoted Saint John Chrysostom in one of my videos about people who don't have a clue of the nature of being, found in the reality of

Jay Dyer's Geopolitics Basic Book List

  I had a horrible experience with a fellow last week who, when I challenged the facts upon which he was basing an opinion, these facts were bluntly the CIA/Media present meme on the subject, he went ballistic. I had given him another scenario that more closely fit the facts on the ground (and subsequently was proved true), and rather than acknowledge the possibility that either scenario "might" be true, he turned on me like he was a bull and I was dressed in red. This was a person whose work I appreciated. He and his brother wrote a book about the Scientific Dictatorship which covered material I have been writing about since 1993. Their book was published in 2004, and for me, there wasn't anything new in it. After all, I read Psycho-Cybernetics in the early 1960, and the transcript of Aldous Huxley's Ultimate Revolution speech that he gave a Berkley in the same time frame, and many other articles and now classic tomes on Mind-Control, Futurism, Technology, Technocrac
