Easter Sunday 🐣

 He Is Risen.

    Happy Easter, folks! What a saying, to be honest. Power behind it, no doubt about it. Religion gets the people going.

    Easter is a fun holiday, for a couple reasons. One, it falls on the Hebrew New Year. Essentially, they celebrate the new year in the spring- when it’s meant to be celebrated. Not in the dead of winter, when nothing is coming back to life. Spring is meant to be the holiday we celebrate new starts, and always has been the proper time to do so.

    Secondly, what stands out the most about Easter is that it is ever-shifting. What this means is, the holiday itself does not fall on a specific day. It moves around the calendar, depending on the moon and sun. Essentially, the calendar we use is a flat out lie. It has been constructed to keep us in the dark of our true nature. Our true understanding of the world in which we live in. The calendar for Easter, as well as the Hebrew New Year, constantly evolves. It constantly changes, depending on the moon cycle. How things are meant to be.

    Finally, I enjoy Easter because it reminds me of my grandmother. One of the only holidays where we would go out, and pick her up, in order to celebrate. To go ahead and spend time together, cherishing our family. I don’t come from a very strong, unified family. So any time where we get to spend together, is definitely a gift. I still think of her, ever now and then. I know she’s up above, living the dream, looking down upon us. Still stubborn as ever, too.

    I believe that religious holidays are important to observe and understand. Not because of some negative reason, where God will come down and smite us for not following along. No. Simply because it is crucial and important to remember and understand our roots. One cannot move forward in life, without first knowing where they have been. I believe that the religious holidays and practices, which we have all carried on for centuries, millenniums, are crucial to remember. They help us find purpose and direction, in a rather complex and complicated world.

    Society is based upon tradition and values. When looking at the strength of a society, we can often compare it to the values and traditions that have been upheld by its people. The more they are upheld, the stronger they become. Yin and Yang. The way. When we look back at any great society which was destroyed, we always see that it is the citizens, the individuals, who allow the values to slowly fade away. They become complacent in the grand scheme of their leaders, disregarding their heritage in exchange for temporary pleasures and lies. We here in the West are no different, that the hundreds of other societies which have decided to take the same path towards their eventual demise.

    Looking back on our society, in the next 40 years, we will slowly realize that the decay started long ago. We the people, slowly allowed the evil to infiltrate us and change our views and opinions of the world we currently find ourself in. What blows my mind the most is the difference between here, in the West- and the rest of the world. We here in the West are so sheltered, so naive, to the world which is currently evolving around us. We simply believe everything which is happening here, is happening everywhere. I blame the internet. Unlimited access to information from around the globe has instilled a false sense of belonging, no longer highlighting the vast differences in cultures which surround us.

    Differences are important. They are what instills progress. If the entire world were to function on the same wavelength, the possibility of discovery would be limited. We the people would be subjected towards simply performing meaningless tasks for the state to benefit from. In short form, slavery. We the people, becoming nothing more than means to an end. Much like in the Matrix, how the machines take over and convert the human lifeforms to nothing more than batteries. In all fairness, we may already be that as we speak. Regardless, we must work with the hand we are dealt.

    Christianity is one of the founding pillars for the modern world. No matter how you slice it, Christianity has helped develop countries around the globe into the prosperous cultures which we currently find ourselves in today. Islam can be said the same. Religion essentially becomes a set of rules and laws, for which the people who find themselves living in said jurisdiction follow to a T. Some are extremists, no doubt about it. Others, are deviants, who follow nothing but evil itself. Regardless, the rules, or guidelines, are what helps a society prosper. They are what allows the people of every single nation, to move towards a common goal. A common goal, for the betterment of the individuals who follow.

    Forgetting our roots, here in the West, is a death sentence. No other way to put it. To simply throw away what has worked for us, for the past few centuries, in exchange for marxism and socialism is a swift death sentence. We the people must continue forward, carrying with us the knowledge and traditions of our ancestors, if we have any hope what-so-ever of surviving.

    Life is not guaranteed. Nature is not forgiving. It is a cold, and dangerous place. The Universe itself, is not known for its great conditions to harvest life. What we have, here on Earth, is a gift. A heavy, deadly gift, which required tremendous death and sacrifice to get to the point we current find ourselves in. It would be a crime to simply throw it all away, because we no longer remember what it took for us to get where we currently find ourselves in time.

        Glory Be,

                    Amen.
