For just an hour or so, I'd love to be able to see the world just as cosmically connected and symbolically rich as Wallnau and his followers do.
That would be a trip.

Two things that strike me as funny here:
1. "A good user experience?" Did someone replace Wallnau with an LLM? Hopefully, the next time someone asks him about something, he'll return a database error.
2. Brian Eskow referring to the traits below as "fringe" MAGA.

Apparently, YouTube is concerned that a 19th century portrait of witches flying to their meeting might be too "sexually gratifying" for viewers.
So, if you're keeping track of YouTube's moderating decisions:
Political falsehoods and conspiracy mongering 👍
Witch breasts 👎

I would desperately like to know what he and others think critical race theory and Marxism are. I have difficulty teaching such things in theory intensive college level courses. There's no chance it's going on at the K-12 level.
I'm betting these are just history courses.

I feel like this is going to be the next ridiculous gaslight from the Right (image), so I'm just going to leave Trump actually saying it here:

When I was at Lance Wallnau's Courage Tour, it seemed like everyone was talking about how bad the United Nations and shared governance was. I wonder what changed.... 🧐

Thanks so much to you both, @jonsawyer.org and @sometimespdx.bsky.social! There's a kind of weird multilevel marketing feel to a lot of Lance Wallnau's materials as well. A lot of "activating your X anointing" kind of stuff (e.g., attached). The other
