Driving on Easter presentation for the year
​​And this is where we get into speculation territory. Everything up into this until this point is very fact-based, kind of taking these nuggets of history, and just placing them in time and space, and how they could potentially link to where we are today, all under the assumption, we have this amazing freedom right now to look at the full data set and come up with conclusions with fresh eyes, not taking any biased view into place or trying to remove that as much as possible. Here is where we get into something that could be speculation, right? It's just me saying it there's no I don't have any backing of anyone who said it first, that could be quoted, who's more official than I am. I don't have 5 members of some religious or theological or historical group saying they agree 100% in this. You're not going to get that with anything in a religious territory. So anyway, this is where I ask you to put on a certain kind of a hat, because I, you kind of, you could think okay where am I going with this? Where? Why does it matter? So we've we've seen how the plants and the psychedelics are all part of this ability to be totally in a free flowing state, whether it's through music or breath work or chanting, singing. Drugs, whatever you want to call it. There's this state of ecstasy, and even sex in itself, right? This idea that we're in a pleasurable state where we're almost like out of mind, out of body, and that was essentially the religious experience everyone was searching for, that moment where you just feel lifted, and you could say at peace, and content, and one with everything. Where I think this comes back to is the fact that we have stripped the feminine out of religion now when you look at these shamans, they were often women in historical context, not even that that long ago. When you look at the major religions around the world, the Abrahamic that are based on Judaism. It's 2 men and a ghost in Christianity, like there, it doesn't make any sense in terms of like life, right? This whole idea of we are a part of a living system. Where is the life? Where is the thing that makes sense? Virgin birth, like just like make it make sense. The underlying theme that I am presenting is, we have stripped the woman and turned her into a ghost. Now, I feel like I've found evidence of this through names, and I found it in the word Israel itself. Now, look at it in three parts is raw L.. I came at it because I was noticing it's already a standard that that happens. The word L is attached to a lot of different names and that's understood.

​​OK, I've written about this quite a bit in Claude, In-N-Out, different variations, and I think I know essentially what I want it to be about. I've played with the titles playing with fire as well as the missing piece PEACE to play on the idea of a missing puzzle piece. The major idea of everything is the fact that I wrote a children's story a couple years ago that was essentially trying to figure out what all of our Christmas customs mean so I could tell them to my children. I come from a background, I was raised Catholic, my husband's half Jewish. His father was a son of a rabbi who brought home a Christmas tree because he thought they just didn't have one so when someone was discarding it, he brought it home and just wanted to be a part of it. We now know that Christmas is celebrated all over the world, even in Japan, not a Christian nation at all. And there's aspects of it that even though its name is Christmas, Christ, Mass, what we do to celebrate it, the actual artifacts of what we do come from somewhere else, that cannot be explained by Christianity, or at least not rationally. So this whole idea is going to be about bringing uniformity, bringing beauty and derivations that all stem from the same place, and trying to find the connection to nature, and all of this, because when you think about the modern religions, There's two major ones and then a third one that's super minor, but everybody knows about Judaism. Then there's Islam and Christianity. People don't realize they're all connected at a root. All connected into Judaism, and then from there connected from Egypt. Now, most people don't think to look at Africa for understanding their traditions. We've kind of been biased into believing there, this almost backwards country not worth studying. Um, only because people have been there stealing their resources for the last several 1000 years. There is a lot to learn from Africa and Egypt, and you don't believe me, think about any Christian stories. You can't really understand Christianity without understanding. Judaism, right? Jesus was a Jew, a practicing Jew rabbi. And you wouldn't be able to know Christianity, you wouldn't really be able to know Jesus if that's what you believe, unless you understood what he was reading. All these, there's a lot of allegories in the Bible that tell you about things that assume you know what was going on before that. So my context, it started with trying to understand Santa. That was really cool and I will go into that from there. I was writing about it and I wanted to understand Easter and that's when everything blew apart. From there, then I was, then I had a thread. I had never read the Bible Grey. I call myself, you know, raised Catholic, Christian. I knew nothing we we would call ourselves Roman Catholic. My grandpa, so my mom's father, my mom grew up in Croatia. Croatia is right on the edge of where Islam and Christianity meet in Eastern Europe. And actually, the shape of Croatia, the sea of it, is carved out from holding back, forces, Islamic forces, and other forces trying to come through, and the shape of it, what what held out, and so you could almost like think Croatia for, um, being the guardian, but they have split into becoming extremely Croatian, and then you see Serbia being in Macedonia, and a lot of areas here being very much Islamic, and so they're at this, like, threshold. They're right on that edge, towing the line of, you know, what's, what. Islam just came 600 years after Christianity. It's not as different as people want to say, when you actually look in the details, not later mistranslation misinterpretation. So my grandfather was an abusive asshole like he beat my grandmother almost every day they were together. Her first child was born with a black eye. So anyone who's saying, you know, just because they're a Christian or Catholic does not mean you're a good person. So my mom, in high school, at some point, dated a Jewish guy and was wearing a Jewish star, David Necklace, as like a rebellion against her father, and it worked. He didn't like it. I don't know what the repercussions were, but I'm sure he wasn't very happy, and the, this is all to say, there's this like bias between religions. Instead of what I grew up thinking is, religions are reason to love each other. It turns out it's actually like a very irrational hatred between one another. And when you look at the lens of who wrote the Bible and where and why, you know, I'm not here to give you a biblical lesson. I'm here to give you the historical lesson, a rational understanding of how everything's connected. So if you can't understand Islam or Judaism without, you know, diving into the Abrahamic religions, they're all Abrahamic. They all from the same people that came from Ur, in the middle, in Mesopotamia, we'll call it. You can't understand it without starting in Egypt. That where Moses came from. That where Abraham came to. Well, actually, I don't know if Abraham went there ever, but he was coming from an area where their main goddess was Inana, a goddess. The first writing that was ever understood, every, the 1st novel ever written was written by a woman, priestess, about the goddess Inana, and from that place was where and when Abraham left. full of ideas of goddesses, and this is the main patriarch of all of Christianity and Islam and Judaism. So that's an interesting thread to start with. And she was inana slash slash Ishtar. So all of that is to say Easter gets its name from something, least at the very least sounding very familiar.
