Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,480
Good evening, godless sodomites.
2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:10,360
Thank you to Satan for giving me inspiration on how to play this role.
3
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,840
Why do we increasingly hear acknowledgments to Satan during award ceremonies?
4
00:01:54,840 --> 00:02:00,840
And why are demonic symbols becoming more prevalent across music videos and movies?
5
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:07,950
This surge in overt gestures, symbols, lyrics, subliminal messages,
6
00:02:07,950 --> 00:02:11,840
and secret codes weaving through our entertainment isn't coincidental.
7
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:17,717
It represents a deliberate move to normalize, even glorify, elements
8
00:02:17,717 --> 00:02:20,840
that once lurked in the shadows of our collective consciousness.
9
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:26,840
These symbols, often brushed aside as mere artistic expression or the eccentricities of fame,
10
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,840
carry deeper meanings that resonate with ancient rituals and esoteric beliefs.
11
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,840
The question arises, why?
12
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:40,840
Why this push towards integrating such imagery and themes into mainstream media?
13
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,840
Is it a reflection of a shift in societal values?
14
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,983
Or perhaps an influence wielded by hidden forces with agendas
15
00:02:49,983 --> 00:02:51,840
that extend beyond mere entertainment?
16
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:58,840
The presence of these symbols and rituals, increasingly embedded within the fabric of popular culture,
17
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:04,840
invites a closer examination of the messages being propagated to millions, often subconsciously.
18
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:10,840
Do we dive into the lives of some of the most celebrated names in the entertainment industry?
19
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,840
We uncover a pattern that's as revealing as it is chilling.
20
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,950
First up is Bob Dylan, whose frank admission about his rise
21
00:03:18,950 --> 00:03:22,840
to fame adds a profound layer to our discussion.
22
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,983
Dylan reveals the foundations of his success, which he intriguingly describes as
23
00:03:27,983 --> 00:03:31,983
making a deal with the commander-in-chief of this world
24
00:03:31,983 --> 00:03:34,840
and the world we don't see, in his own words.
25
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,840
Let's listen to what he has to say.
26
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,840
Even Jim Brewer has something to say on the matter.
27
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,983
And folks, it's crucial to acknowledge that numerous individuals
28
00:04:16,983 --> 00:04:18,840
echo similar sentiments across the web.
29
00:04:18,840 --> 00:04:24,450
Yet, it's imperative not to be sidetracked by the fleeting distractions of TikTok
30
00:04:24,450 --> 00:04:28,840
or the latest TV narratives, for these are the mechanisms that maintain our diversion.
31
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:32,617
When we do stumble upon revelations like these,
32
00:04:32,617 --> 00:04:34,840
our knee-jerk reaction is often disbelief.
33
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:37,840
It must be fake. Nobody discusses this.
34
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:43,383
This skepticism is indicative of how deeply we've been lulled into complacency,
35
00:04:43,383 --> 00:04:47,840
programmed by their movies, their music, and the broader entertainment culture.
36
00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:50,840
Pay attention to Jim Brewer's insights.
37
00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:09,840
A guy named Kevin Brown and Andre D. Brown and he was later on 30 Rock, but they would come to us
38
00:05:28,840 --> 00:05:35,840
So and so, huge name. So and so, huuuge name. What?
39
00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:52,840
A$AP Rocky's Journey adds another layer to this narrative.
40
00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:55,350
Imagine reaching the pinnacle of your career,
41
00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:59,840
only to find that each album release coincides with a personal loss.
42
00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:04,617
The rapper's experiences raise questions about the sacrifices
43
00:06:04,617 --> 00:06:06,840
tied to success in the music industry.
44
00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:10,840
Let's hear what A$AP Rocky has to say about this pattern.
45
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:54,617
The timing of his success and his father's death is a stark reminder
46
00:06:54,617 --> 00:06:56,840
of the dual-edged sword that is fame.
47
00:06:56,840 --> 00:07:01,850
DaBaby's reflection on this moment in his life is a compelling listen,
48
00:07:01,850 --> 00:07:05,840
one that might change how you view the glitz and glamour of celebrity life.
49
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,840
As we navigate these thought-provoking waters,
50
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,840
we're about to delve into Christina Chaney's riveting testimony.
51
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,840
She shares a haunting exchange with an influential figure in the industry,
52
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:10,840
who eerily suggested that a pact with the devil could skyrocket her to fame overnight.
53
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,840
Yet, this is merely the surface.
54
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:19,650
Chaney's story delves into depths that promise to unveil even more startling revelations,
55
00:08:19,650 --> 00:08:23,840
shedding light on the darkest corners of the quest for fame and success.
56
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,840
And I started weeping and crying out to the Lord saying, forgive me, because I wasn't living right.
57
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,483
The idea of trading one's soul for a fast track to success
58
00:10:28,483 --> 00:10:32,840
transforms from mere metaphor to a chilling reality for some.
59
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:38,840
The seductive lure of immediate fame, wealth and power can be overwhelming.
60
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,417
However, as we've uncovered, this path is fraught with hidden costs,
61
00:10:43,417 --> 00:10:46,840
leading us to ponder the true worth of such pursuits.
62
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,750
The exchange, immense public attention and personal compromise for
63
00:10:51,750 --> 00:10:56,840
fame's fleeting rewards forces us to consider if it's genuinely worthwhile.
64
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,983
Does the real expense of fame, illuminated by those who've tasted its heights,
65
00:11:01,983 --> 00:11:06,840
uncover a more disturbing facet of our aspirations and dreams?
66
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,840
Our culture is seriously hooked on celebrities.
67
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,683
When Oscar season comes around every year,
68
00:11:12,683 --> 00:11:16,840
we've got a whopping 30 to 40 million people glued to their screens,
69
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:21,850
eager to see which movies snag the top honors for their storytelling,
70
00:11:21,850 --> 00:11:24,840
craftsmanship and artistic flair.
71
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:29,840
Everyone calls it the Oscars, and yeah, there's a bit of an obsession with it.
72
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,840
Landing one of those golden guys is pretty much your ticket to stardom.
73
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:38,120
What's interesting about this is in the Egyptian culture, they had this small
74
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,840
statue that was all about the god Ptah.
75
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:47,850
And when an Egyptian king passed away, they believed his spirit would shoot up to the Orion constellation,
76
00:11:47,850 --> 00:11:49,840
turning him into a star.
77
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,840
Kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it?
78
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,840
We're still into these symbols of excellence, just like they were.
79
00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:01,840
And Hollywood? Well, it's got its fair share of glitz with all these award shows popping up.
80
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,840
The Grammys, the Emmys, you name it.
81
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,840
They're all about celebrating different slices of the entertainment world.
82
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,840
But deep down, they're pretty much the same deal.
83
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,840
Just listen to how Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert talk about these awards.
84
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,840
It's all part of the fascination we have with recognizing greatness.
85
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,840
You see, Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart,
86
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:03,840
they're totally clued into their place in this modern-day Babylon we call Hollywood.
87
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,840
And here's something you might find interesting.
88
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,840
Jim Carrey is on the same page.
89
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,840
At a completely different award show, he was echoing the same kind of vibes.
90
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,840
It's fascinating when you dive into the origins of the word Oscar.
91
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,840
Its roots are in Scandinavian and Old English,
92
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,840
where it translates to divine strength or divine spear.
93
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:57,840
Divine suggests something of, from, or resembling a god,
94
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,840
while a spear is recognized as a weapon.
95
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,883
Could it be that Satan is employing these celebrities and movies
96
00:14:04,883 --> 00:14:06,840
as god-like weapons against us?
97
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:11,840
Until 1999, the Oscars took place in a venue known as The Shrine,
98
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,840
established by William Florence and Walter Fleming.
99
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,840
Both prominent Scottish Rite Freemasons.
100
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,840
Hollywood's fascination with Freemasonry isn't a secret.
101
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:28,840
Icons like Gene Autry, John Wayne, Duke Ellington, C.C. DeMille, Nat King Cole,
102
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:34,840
Clark Gable, Walt Disney, and Oliver Hardy, among others, have all been linked to it.
103
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:39,840
The involvement of many celebrities with Freemasonry has been openly acknowledged.
104
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,840
In Morals and Dogma, a seminal work by Albert Pike,
105
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,840
there's a passage on page 321 where Freemasons declare who their god is,
106
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:54,840
describing Lucifer, the light bearer, in paradoxical terms as a bearer of light,
107
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,840
despite being a figure of darkness,
108
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,840
a concept that challenges conventional perceptions
109
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,840
and suggests a deeper symbolic significance to their beliefs.
110
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,840
When Life is Beautiful received its Oscar,
111
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,683
a wide shot of the stage inadvertently revealed
112
00:15:10,683 --> 00:15:13,840
masonic symbols incorporated into its design.
113
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,840
Elements such as the checkered floor, archways, and a sun motif
114
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,840
all resonate with Freemasonry symbolism,
115
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,840
mirroring what's found on a masonic tracing board,
116
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,840
a tool used within the fraternity for educational purposes.
117
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,840
These symbols subtly communicate who is behind the organization.
118
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,840
Following the Oscars' move in 1999 to the Kodak Theatre,
119
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,840
these masonic elements continue to be a part of the stage's design,
120
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,840
with sun motifs in the ceiling, checkered patterns on the stage,
121
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,840
and arches being prominently featured.
122
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:52,840
The exterior of the Kodak Theatre includes references to the Ishtar Gate and Babylonian deities,
123
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:58,840
drawing inspiration from the 1916 film Intolerance which recreated Babylon's set,
124
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:04,840
including its iconic elements like the elephants, the Ishtar Gate, and Babylonian gods.
125
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,840
This area around the Kodak Theatre, labeled the Babylonian Court,
126
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,840
along with the design elements that include an unmistakable representation
127
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,840
of the Tower of Babel on the stage during the 2016 Oscars,
128
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:23,840
underscores a deep-seated recognition of their origins and affiliations.
129
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,840
Through these symbols and references,
130
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,840
it becomes clear that those within this organization
131
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,840
are well aware of their standing and the influences at play.
132
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,840
Hear what Mel Gibson has to say about Hollywood.
133
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,840
His unique focus on Jesus through films about Christ's life
134
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:45,840
might just be his way of shedding light on the truth he perceives within the industry.
135
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,840
It seems as though signs are everywhere,
136
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:52,840
pointing to deeper truths and narratives interwoven into Hollywood's very fabric.
137
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:57,840
By pausing to look and listen carefully, we start to see these messages for what they are,
138
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,840
peeling back the layers to reveal the core of what's often concealed.
139
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,840
Staying vigilant and discerning enables us to decode these signs
140
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,840
and understand the reality beneath the surface.
141
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,840
What do the vast majority of the biggest superstars in the world have in common?
142
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:21,450
Paradoxically, their journey to immense fame and fortune
143
00:18:21,450 --> 00:18:23,840
often culminates in profound despair.
144
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,840
Numerous artists have conceded that
145
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:31,840
despite their considerable wealth, influence and global recognition,
146
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:36,840
the ultimate outcome of their existence has been one of profound unhappiness.
147
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,840
Alarmingly, countless individuals have been misled by the falsehood
148
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,840
that mimicking the lifestyles of these celebrated figures
149
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,840
is the key to achieving joy and satisfaction.
150
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,840
A multitude of lives have been squandered in the pursuit of happiness
151
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,840
through the accumulation of wealth, fame, dominance,
152
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,840
engagement in occult activities, promiscuity, and substance abuse.
153
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:04,840
An examination of many top-tier superstars, athletes, and icons of rock, pop,
154
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,840
and hip-hop music reveals a recurring theme.
155
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:13,840
The glamour of fame often masks a reality filled with anguish, obscurity, and despair.
156
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,840
Celebrated actor Brad Pitt has openly shared his profound sense of void
157
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,840
despite attaining vast wealth and fame.
158
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,840
Drawing a parallel to the figure of the prodigal son,
159
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:29,840
this parable tells the story of a young man who prematurely demands his inheritance from his father,
160
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,840
only to waste it on dissolute living.
161
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:37,840
However, the narrative takes a turn as the son realizes his mistake and returns to his father,
162
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,840
who greets him with forgiveness and love.
163
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:44,840
Jesus shared this parable not just to highlight the hollowness of worldly possessions
164
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:49,840
but to underscore God's immense love for those who repent and return to him.
165
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,840
Pitt identifies with the lesson of the parable, stating,
166
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,840
you will not be alive again until you come home to the father's ways.
167
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,840
Yet, he also admits, I never thought past believing.
168
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,840
This admission reveals a profound spiritual emptiness within Pitt.
169
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,717
He confided in a Rolling Stone interview
170
00:20:07,717 --> 00:20:10,840
that the chase for material gains has left him and others feeling void,
171
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:15,840
saying, "Man, I know all these things are supposed to seem important to us,
172
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,840
the car, the condo, our version of success.
173
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,840
As they toss all this, we gotta find something else.
174
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,840
But all I know is that at this point in time, we're heading for a dead end,
175
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,840
a numbing of the soul, a complete atrophy of the spiritual being.
176
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:31,840
I don't want that.
177
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,840
The emphasis now is on success and personal gain.
178
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,840
I'm telling you, that's not it.
179
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,840
I am the guy who's got everything.
180
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,840
But once you've got everything, then you're just left with yourself."
181
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:11,840
Pitt's reflection brings to light a deep contemplation of societal values,
182
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:16,840
underscoring the vacuum left by material success without spiritual fulfillment,
183
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,840
echoing the timeless message of Jesus
184
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,840
and the necessity of a connection with God for true contentment.
185
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,840
This narrative echoes in the sports world,
186
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,840
where numerous athletes confront deep despair and thoughts of despair,
187
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,840
despite their outward success.
188
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:22,840
Even Tom Brady, celebrated as the greatest of all time in the NFL,
189
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,840
has not been immune to profound personal challenges.
190
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,840
CBS highlighted an unusual aspect of Brady's life,
191
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,840
noting that the secret of Brady's success was that he married a witch,
192
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,840
a playful nod to his former wife, Giselle.
193
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,840
This comment was made in a lighter vein,
194
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:43,840
especially after the Patriots victory over the Rams in Super Bowl 53.
195
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,840
When Giselle reportedly reminded Brady of his good fortune
196
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,840
in having a witch for a wife,
197
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,840
Brady himself has openly acknowledged this intriguing facet of his life on camera,
198
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,840
adding a unique layer to the narrative of his storied career.
199
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,840
And so she put together a little altar for me
200
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,840
that I could bring with pictures of my kids.
201
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,840
And I have these little special stones and healing stones
202
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,840
and protection stones that she has me wear a necklace
203
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,840
and take these drops she makes.
204
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,840
And I say all these mantras.
205
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,840
And I stopped questioning her a long time ago.
206
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,840
I did. I just shut up and listened.
207
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,840
And at first I was like, this is kind of crazy.
208
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,840
And then about four years ago, we were playing the Seahawks.
209
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:43,840
And she said, you better listen to me.
210
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,840
This is your year, but this is all the things you're going to have to do to win.
211
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:47,840
And I did all those things.
212
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:48,840
And by God, you know, it worked.
213
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,840
It was pretty good.
214
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,840
And then in 2015, it was about early January.
215
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,840
And she said, you know how much I love you?
216
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:56,840
And I said, yeah.
217
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,840
And she said, I just want to let you know this is not going to be your year.
218
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,840
And of course we lost.
219
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,840
I said, what does 16 look like?
220
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,840
And she said, 16 is going to be your year.
221
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,840
So it was early January this year.
222
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,840
And I said, babe, I asking, like, do we have a chance?
223
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,840
And she said, yeah, but you're going to have to do a lot of work
224
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,840
and you're really going to have to listen to me.
225
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,840
So, man, I listened to her.
226
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,840
And right after the game, she said, see, I did a lot of work.
227
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:26,840
You do your work.
228
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,840
I do mine.
229
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,840
She said, you're lucky you married a witch.
230
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:31,840
I'm just a good witch.
231
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,840
A curious observation emerges when examining the lives of those who
232
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,840
seemingly possess everything that is often equated with happiness,
233
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,840
fame, fortune, and acclaim.
234
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:47,840
Rather than attaining fulfillment, a profound spiritual emptiness prevails.
235
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:53,840
This pattern is not exclusive to renowned actors, actresses, and sport figures.
236
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,840
It similarly affects leading personalities in the music industry,
237
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,840
including iconic rock, pop, and rap artists.
238
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,840
Be paid to be an actor.
239
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:11,840
Have cool friends.
240
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,840
Why am I considering?
241
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:10,840
Even the iconic Elvis Presley, revered as the king of rock and roll,
242
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,840
was not immune to profound internal struggles.
243
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:18,840
He experienced intense depression, anger, and uncontrollable rage.
244
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,840
Elvis was deeply involved in the occult.
245
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,840
Believing he was being guided by a spiritual presence,
246
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,840
he initially mistook for his deceased brother Aaron.
247
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:32,840
He was convinced these spirits had singled him out to be a messianic figure for a new age,
248
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,840
leading others into occult practices.
249
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:41,840
Sadly, Elvis' life ended prematurely at 42 due to a severe heart attack,
250
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:48,840
an event that found him engaging with hardcore and in occult text and psychic energy.
251
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,917
His close associates, the Memphis Mafia,
252
00:28:52,917 --> 00:28:55,840
attested to his use of occult forces to sway his audience.
253
00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:00,840
Despite his monumental fame, Elvis expressed to Pastor James Hamill,
254
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,840
his childhood pastor from the first assembly of God in Memphis,
255
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,840
his profound unhappiness.
256
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,840
He confessed,
257
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,840
Pastor, I'm the most miserable young man you've ever seen.
258
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,840
I've got all the money I'll ever need to spend.
259
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,840
I've got millions of fans.
260
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,840
I've got friends, but I'm doing what you taught me not to do,
261
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,840
and I'm not doing the things you taught me to do.
262
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,840
John Lennon, the visionary leader of the Beatles,
263
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:30,840
also navigated through deep-seated despair, hopelessness, and depression.
264
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,840
In a dialogue with David Sheff,
265
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,840
Lennon echoed the satanic maxim of Aleister Crowley,
266
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,840
Do What Thou Wilt,
267
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,840
encapsulating the ethos of the Beatles as,
268
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,840
The whole Beatle idea was, Do What Thou Wilt.
269
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,840
In a gesture of acknowledgement to the Satanist Aleister Crowley,
270
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,840
his likeness was positioned prominently on their album,
271
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,840
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
272
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,840
Lennon's pact with darkness was further revealed
273
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,840
in an admission to Ray Coleman, stating,
274
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,840
I've sold my soul to the devil.
275
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,840
Shortly before his death,
276
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,840
Lennon penned a letter to a Christian minister,
277
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:09,840
reflecting on his song,
278
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,840
Money Can't Buy Me Love,
279
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:12,840
conceding,
280
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:13,840
It's true.
281
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:14,840
I want happiness.
282
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,840
I don't want to keep on with it.
283
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,840
I want out of hell.
284
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,840
His story, like those of many others,
285
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,840
underscores the futility of seeking fulfillment in wealth.
286
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:29,840
And fame, which failed to fill the profound emptiness within.
287
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,840
The tragic fates of these icons reveal a haunting pattern,
288
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:38,840
a surrender to dark forces in exchange for fleeting worldly success,
289
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,840
leaving them devoid of true joy and peace.
290
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,840
Michael Jackson, globally celebrated as the King of Pop,
291
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,840
shared a profound and personal revelation in his autobiography,
292
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:49,840
Moonwalk,
293
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,840
highlighting the depths of his isolation despite his monumental fame.
294
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,840
I'm one of the loneliest people in the world.
295
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,840
People think you're lucky, that you have everything.
296
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,840
They think you can go anywhere and do anything.
297
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,840
But that's not the point.
298
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:08,840
He confessed his loneliness was so intense that he wouldn't wish it on anyone,
299
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:09,840
stating,
300
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,840
"I believe I'm one of the loneliest people in the world."
301
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,840
Jackson also disclosed his experiences with channeling spirit entities
302
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,840
within a mirror-filled room,
303
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,840
which he believed inspired his music.
304
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,840
He claimed that many of his songs were received during sleep,
305
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,840
fearing that a lack of rest might result in these spirits
306
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,840
offering their inspiration to Prince instead.
307
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,840
Jackson's connection to Elvis Presley,
308
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,840
through his marriage to Presley's daughter, Lisa Marie,
309
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,840
highlighted a poignant awareness of the potential for self-destruction,
310
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:40,840
remarking,
311
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,840
The way Elvis destroyed himself interests me
312
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,840
because I don't ever want to walk those grounds myself.
313
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,840
In a tragic parallel,
314
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,840
Lisa Marie observed that her father's fate mirrored Jackson's own demise.
315
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:57,840
Michael Jackson passed away at 50 due to a overdose in Los Angeles,
316
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,840
echoing the sad narratives of Elvis and John Lennon,
317
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:05,840
where neither wealth nor fame could mend the profound emptiness within.
318
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,840
These confessions from some of the world's most iconic figures
319
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,840
underscore a common theme of deep-seated loneliness
320
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,840
and the unfulfilled quest for happiness through fame and material success,
321
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:26,840
revealing a stark contrast between public perception and private reality.
322
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,840
Kurt Cobain, the iconic frontman of Nirvana,
323
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,840
which is celebrated as the pinnacle of grunge music,
324
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,840
harbored a deep fascination with Anton LaVey,
325
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,840
the notorious founder of the Church of Satan
326
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,840
and author of the Satanic Bible.
327
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,840
Cobain's interest in LaVey was so intense
328
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:49,840
that he attempted to involve him in Nirvana's groundbreaking album: Nevermind,
329
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,840
proposing LaVey play the cello on the record.
330
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:58,840
This obsession offers a glimpse into the possible origins of Cobain's musical genius,
331
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:03,840
characterized by his ability to craft irresistibly seductive melodies
332
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,840
that seem to emerge from a place beyond his own understanding,
333
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:11,840
as if he stumbled on melodies by means he himself didn't fully understand.
334
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:16,840
Despite his monumental fame, Cobain grappled with profound emptiness,
335
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,840
drug addiction, and chronic depression.
336
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,840
His life came to a tragic end when he took his own [...]
337
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,840
a demise that hinted at a feeling of abandonment
338
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,840
by the very demonic influences that once fueled his creativity.
339
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:35,840
The author of Cobain's biography suggests that Cobain felt deserted by his muse,
340
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,840
metaphorically stating his muse had flown south.
341
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,840
In his s*** note, Cobain expressed a transformation into
342
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,840
"a miserable self-destructive death rocker"
343
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,840
and articulated a growing disdain for humanity.
344
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,840
Cobain's mother, Wendy O'Connor, mournfully remarked that her son had
345
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,840
"gone and joined that stupid club,"
346
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,840
a reference to the infamous 27 Club,
347
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,840
a group of influential musicians who all died at the age of 27,
348
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:09,840
including Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janice Joplin, and Jim Morrison.
349
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,840
This remark underscores the tragic pattern of talented artists
350
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:18,840
whose lives unravel, often as a result of their dalliances with dark forces.
351
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,840
In a particularly revealing statement, Lady Gaga recounted a dream
352
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,840
in which she encountered Satan,
353
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,840
a scenario that would prompt many to seek spiritual refuge.
354
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,840
However, instead of turning to religious salvation for comfort or deliverance,
355
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,840
Gaga sought advice from Deepak Chopra,
356
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:40,840
a renowned figure in the world of alternative medicine and spirituality.
357
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,840
Chopra advised her to engage with her demons,
358
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,983
suggesting that confronting these dark aspects could serve
359
00:34:46,983 --> 00:34:48,840
as a source of artistic inspiration.
360
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,840
This approach reflects a broader trend among some artists who,
361
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:57,840
facing inner turmoil, choose to explore and integrate their darkest experiences
362
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,840
into their creative expression rather than seeking escape
363
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,840
or relief in traditional religious practices.
364
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,840
Gaga's choice to channel her struggles into her art
365
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:11,840
highlights the complex relationship between personal demons and artistic creativity,
366
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,840
suggesting that for some, embracing the darkness is a pathway
367
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:17,840
to creating profound and impactful work.
368
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,840
Katy Perry, who initially aimed to make a career as a Christian artist,
369
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,840
openly admitted that she couldn't achieve success in that genre
370
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,840
and ended up selling her soul to the devil for her pop career.
371
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:23,840
The statement metaphorically expresses how she compromised her initial goals and values
372
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,840
to attain fame and success in the mainstream music industry.
373
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,150
Since selling out to Satan, Katy Perry
374
00:37:25,150 --> 00:37:27,840
has periodically struggled with depression and thoughts of [...]
375
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:54,840
Comedian and actor Russell Brand, who ended his marriage with Katy Perry after just a year,
376
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,840
recognized that a life dedicated to hedonism and consumerism
377
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,840
left him feeling void and spiritually depleted.
378
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,840
Numerous people yearn for joy, peace, and fulfillment,
379
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,840
yet these feelings continue to elude them throughout their lives.
380
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:36,840
As observed, even those deemed most successful by worldly standards
381
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,840
confess to feeling a profound emptiness.
382
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,417
The pressing question remains whether we will heed the
383
00:38:42,417 --> 00:38:44,840
lessons of those who have preceded us,
384
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:49,840
understanding that life's essence extends beyond wealth, renown, aesthetic appeal.
385
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,517
Will we recognize the futility of pursuing paths
386
00:38:52,517 --> 00:38:55,840
that lead nowhere, or worse, into deeper despair?
387
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:59,840
Shia LaBeouf, celebrated for his role in the hit Transformer series
388
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,840
and achieving unparalleled box office success for his generation,
389
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,840
echoed this sentiment of emptiness and confusion,
390
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,840
a sentiment shared by numerous other celebrities.
391
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:10,840
He commented,
392
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,840
"The good actors are all troubled. They're all grappling with pain.
393
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,840
This profession attracts the disillusioned and the heartbroken."
394
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,840
LaBeouf openly shared,
395
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,840
With a multitude of stars admitting their engagement in satanic and occult activities
396
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:50,840
in the pursuit of wealth and fame, seemingly at the cost of their very souls,
397
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,840
one must ponder the solution.
398
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:57,840
Shia LaBeouf later expressed finding peace in his soul through embracing Jesus Christ.
399
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,840
Russell Brand has voiced a sentiment that humanity is,
400
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,840
in search of fulfillment in avenues that ultimately render them hollow.
401
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,840
Brand further stated,
402
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,840
He personally believed that Christ's teachings have never been more pertinent.
403
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,840
For personalities like Dion Sanders, and countless others,
404
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:22,183
the singular and definitive resolution lies in a relationship
405
00:40:22,183 --> 00:40:24,840
with Jesus Christ, the Lord, and Savior.
406
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,840
They're the only thing that I felt like was real and authentic and loved me
407
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:52,840
because they're the only one who knew me.
408
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,840
You know the old western, they came with their hands up. They're surrendering.
409
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,840
When I finally got on my knees that night and I surrender, I said,
410
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:23,840
And the lights that came into that room, the sound and the wind whistling
411
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,840
and it came through that room and it's like papers was flying.
412
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:31,840
And the light was so bright and radiant that I was just crying out, Lord, take me, take me.
413
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,840
So really, does television have an impact on us?
414
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,840
It goes beyond being "just entertainment".
415
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:11,840
We often hear people claiming, "yeah, but it's just entertainment".
416
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,840
It doesn't affect me. I know what's good for me and I can discern the bad.
417
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:20,840
Take Kevin Smith, for instance, a writer and director known for his contributions
418
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,840
to pop culture through movies.
419
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:28,840
He's behind films like Clerks and Dogma, which starred Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.
420
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:30,750
In a moment I'll share with you,
421
00:43:30,750 --> 00:43:33,840
he's speaking at a conference about his approach to filmmaking,
422
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,840
specifically how he embeds subtle messages within his work.
423
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:05,840
This candid admission highlights the underlying influence that creators wield through entertainment,
424
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:09,840
shaping perspectives under the guise of mere amusement.
425
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:55,840
Harvey Weinstein, the executive producer and former owner of Miramax Films, commented on the impact of movies.
426
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:59,840
They have given Americans acceptance of things I don't think they would have embraced.
427
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:03,617
Maybe they were tricked into it by an exciting marketing campaign,
428
00:45:03,617 --> 00:45:05,840
but when they came out of it, they came out different.
429
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:11,417
His words, shared with Entertainment Weekly, imply movies' potent ability
430
00:45:11,417 --> 00:45:14,840
to alter perceptions and norms under the guise of entertainment.
431
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:18,883
David Puttnam, the screenwriter behind The Mission,
432
00:45:18,883 --> 00:45:21,840
underscores the influential power of cinema, stating,
433
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:39,817
This assertion highlights cinema's role not just as a source of entertainment,
434
00:45:39,817 --> 00:45:44,417
but as a tool capable of molding public opinion and societal attitudes,
435
00:45:44,417 --> 00:45:46,840
often without the audience's full awareness.
436
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:26,840
Anton LaVey, the founder of the Church of Satan, had a fascinating take on television.
437
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,917
He saw it as a primary conduit for what he considered
438
00:46:29,917 --> 00:46:32,840
the new satanic religion's widespread adoption.
439
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:37,317
LaVey went on to compare the TV set to a satanic family altar,
440
00:46:37,317 --> 00:46:42,650
observing its evolution from a small, fuzzy screen in the 1950s to the massive
441
00:46:42,650 --> 00:46:46,840
entertainment centers of today that span entire walls with multiple monitors.
442
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:51,840
He provocatively called the TV set this satanic family altar.
443
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:55,917
Deepening this analogy, he even likened the presence of an antenna
444
00:46:55,917 --> 00:46:59,840
on homes to having a steeple, drawing a parallel with churches.
445
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:05,283
This analogy highlights LaVey's perspective on the significant impact television has
446
00:47:05,283 --> 00:47:09,783
on shaping the dynamics of modern family life and values,
447
00:47:09,783 --> 00:47:14,840
attributing to it a cultural and spiritual depth that goes beyond mere entertainment.
448
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:18,840
This, according to him, is occultism in its most overt form.
449
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:58,840
Reflecting on this, after consuming countless movies and shows featuring these actors,
450
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:03,550
one has to ponder what exactly have we allowed into our minds,
451
00:48:03,550 --> 00:48:07,840
even the etymology of the word entertainment is telling.
452
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:12,950
Enter, meaning "to go into", tain, implying "to hold or possess",
453
00:48:12,950 --> 00:48:15,840
and ment, indicating "a state or condition".
454
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:22,840
Putting it together, it translates to an act of entering to possess and maintain in a state of possession.
455
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:27,840
It seems we're engaging in 100% sorcery by this definition.
456
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:32,483
Have you ever taken a closer look at the themes threading through the movies
457
00:48:32,483 --> 00:48:35,840
featured on the covers of American Cinematographer magazine?
458
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,840
There is a pattern that might capture attention.
459
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:43,840
Many of these films delve into the mystical, exploring realms of sorcery and the arcane.
460
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:47,483
While not every film featured explores these themes,
461
00:48:47,483 --> 00:48:50,840
the prevalence is striking and sparks curiosity.
462
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:55,840
What could be the story behind these production companies' fascination with such themes?
463
00:48:55,840 --> 00:49:00,450
This observation invites us to explore deeper into the symbols and meanings
464
00:49:00,450 --> 00:49:05,840
behind some of the industry's most prominent logos, setting the stage for a revealing journey.
465
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:11,350
DC Comics, a powerhouse in superhero cinema, piqued my interest,
466
00:49:11,350 --> 00:49:14,683
leading me to delve into the significance of its emblem,
467
00:49:14,683 --> 00:49:18,840
influenced by insights from Walter Veith's analysis of symbolism.
468
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:23,983
Although not making a direct accusation, the resemblance of their logo to symbols
469
00:49:23,983 --> 00:49:28,717
associated with the moon goddess Diana, notably the crescent moon and star,
470
00:49:28,717 --> 00:49:33,683
which in certain traditions represent white witchcraft and, when inverted,
471
00:49:33,683 --> 00:49:37,840
Satanism, presented a compelling parallel worth considering.
472
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:42,840
Moreover, Phoenix Pictures and Legendary Pictures present logo steeped in symbolism.
473
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:47,150
The former's emblem, featuring a phoenix set against flames,
474
00:49:47,150 --> 00:49:54,840
symbolizes rebirth from ashes, suggesting themes of fire and divinity, often associated with sun worship.
475
00:49:54,840 --> 00:50:00,517
The latter's logo, a Celtic knot, carries roots in Mesopotamian symbolism,
476
00:50:00,517 --> 00:50:05,517
linked to protective spells and the invocation of deities from the Earth's
477
00:50:05,517 --> 00:50:10,840
four corners, embedding a layer of meaning that transcends mere artistic choice.
478
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:16,217
In observing the logo of Jerry Bruckheimer films, the imagery of lightning striking a tree
479
00:50:16,217 --> 00:50:20,983
struck a chord, leading me down a path of exploration into the symbolism within
480
00:50:20,983 --> 00:50:25,250
the Kabbalah, where such images are emblematic of self-enlightenment,
481
00:50:25,250 --> 00:50:29,483
marrying the raw power of thunder and lightning with the structured growth
482
00:50:29,483 --> 00:50:35,840
of the tree, thereby hinting at a mystical interpretation of the natural world as a force of creation.
483
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:42,840
Now, I'm not claiming that Jerry Bruckheimer is deeply involved in this, but the similarity is strikingly close.
484
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:47,250
Columbia Pictures, adorned with the image of the goddess Columbia,
485
00:50:47,250 --> 00:50:51,840
initially led me down a mistaken path, equating her with the goddess Athena.
486
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:57,417
However, further investigation clarified her identity, deepening the intrigue with the realization
487
00:50:57,417 --> 00:51:02,817
that the torch she carries, within the context of certain occult interpretations,
488
00:51:02,817 --> 00:51:07,917
symbolizes Lucifer as the bringer of enlightenment, positing the flame as a
489
00:51:07,917 --> 00:51:13,840
beacon calling forth celestial spirits towards a new epoch of creation under his auspices.
490
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:18,750
This revelation, derived from a passage concerning the torch's significance in occult
491
00:51:18,750 --> 00:51:23,717
traditions, underscores the multifaceted layers of symbolism that permeate
492
00:51:23,717 --> 00:51:28,783
the visual identities of these cinematic institutions, inviting viewers to ponder the
493
00:51:28,783 --> 00:51:32,840
broader implications of the imagery that pervades the entertainment landscape.
494
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,840
With the surge of supernatural movies hitting the screens,
495
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:18,050
it's timely to delve into the superhero genre first. What exactly does being a superhero
496
00:52:18,050 --> 00:52:23,350
entail? Where did the concept of recounting tales of superhuman prowess originate?
497
00:52:23,350 --> 00:52:28,717
Diving into the definition of a hero reveals a man of distinguished courage or
498
00:52:28,717 --> 00:52:34,840
ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities, a description steeped in classical mythology.
499
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:41,017
A hero is also described as a being with godlike capabilities and beneficence,
500
00:52:41,017 --> 00:52:46,017
often elevated to divine status. This description subtly suggests that
501
00:52:46,017 --> 00:52:51,183
superheroes might just be modern iterations of ancient deities. To explore
502
00:52:51,183 --> 00:52:56,840
this notion further, let's watch some movie clips that delve into the portrayal of gods within these narratives.
503
00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:03,840
The narratives of comic books and their cinematic adaptations frequently draw on biblical parallels
504
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,917
weaving tales around themes of divinity and godlike figures,
505
00:54:06,917 --> 00:54:07,840
but to what end?
506
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:11,617
This fascination with the divine within pop-culture
507
00:54:11,617 --> 00:54:17,840
prompts reflection on it's significance to our collective consciousness. Reflecting on the great controversy,
508
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:22,083
it's recounted that, as the crowning act of the great drama of deception,
509
00:54:22,083 --> 00:54:26,083
Satan himself will personate Christ in different parts of the earth.
510
00:54:26,083 --> 00:54:31,217
Satan will manifest himself among men as a majestic being of dazzling brightness,
511
00:54:31,217 --> 00:54:37,840
resembling the description of the Son of God given by John in the Revelation 1:13-15.
512
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:51,583
The Christ has come. The Christ has come. The depiction of Satan as an entity capable
513
00:54:51,583 --> 00:54:56,883
of emulating the divine glory to a degree unparalleled by mortal experience
514
00:54:56,883 --> 00:55:01,783
and his proclamation as the Messiah echoes long-standing prophetic warnings.
515
00:55:01,783 --> 00:55:03,840
This narrative is familiar, isn't it?
516
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:09,850
The anticipation of Satan's ultimate masquerade as Christ resonates through
517
00:55:09,850 --> 00:55:16,840
these tales, inviting us to question the deeper implications of our fascination with beings of otherworldly power.
518
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:22,117
What implications do superhero movies, particularly those like Superman,
519
00:55:22,117 --> 00:55:24,840
have in the broader context of myth and divinity?
520
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:31,350
Superman, a creation of two Jewish writers from Cleveland, Ohio, in 1933,
521
00:55:31,350 --> 00:55:35,817
offers an interesting case study. The emphasis on their Jewish background is
522
00:55:35,817 --> 00:55:39,840
relevant here due to the use of distinctly Jewish names throughout the comic.
523
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:45,783
For instance, Superman's Kryptonian name, Kal-El, translates from Hebrew
524
00:55:45,783 --> 00:55:48,840
as, "All that is God", or "Totally God".
525
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:54,017
Furthermore, the name of Superman's human alter-ego, Clark Kent,
526
00:55:54,017 --> 00:56:00,117
carries its own implications. Clark originates from Old English, meaning clergyman
527
00:56:00,117 --> 00:56:05,617
or learned man, while Kent could be interpreted as bright or white, potentially
528
00:56:05,617 --> 00:56:08,840
alluding to the Kenites from Genesis, who were the enemies of Israel,
529
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:15,250
and descendants of Cain. Superman's adversary, Lex Luthor, also has a name
530
00:56:15,250 --> 00:56:20,840
rich in meaning. Lex in Latin translates to law, hinting at a deeper symbolic rivalry.
531
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:25,750
The name could be seen as a nod to Alexander, implying leader of men,
532
00:56:25,750 --> 00:56:30,840
and Luthor could reference either warrior or be a play on Martin Luther, the reformer.
533
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:36,683
This begs the question, could Superman, with his divine name and clergyman-like alter-ego,
534
00:56:36,683 --> 00:56:40,840
be interpreted as a god-like figure in opposition to the law?
535
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:48,183
This interpretation gains further complexity when considering storylines like The Beast from Krypton, where Superman,
536
00:56:48,183 --> 00:56:55,840
feeling burdened by his role as humanity's savior, controls other superheroes to enact destruction upon the human race.
537
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:59,783
This narrative twist not only presents Superman in a light far removed
538
00:56:59,783 --> 00:57:03,840
from divinity, but also flirts with apocalyptic themes.
539
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:11,840
Despite these darker storylines, promotional materials for Superman films have drawn direct parallels to Christ, with phrases like,
540
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:17,317
I sent you my only son, used in trailers, reinforcing the messianic undertones of
541
00:57:17,317 --> 00:57:22,750
his character. This juxtaposition of themes invites a deeper reflection on the role of
542
00:57:22,750 --> 00:57:27,840
superhero narratives in our understanding of divinity, morality, and leadership.
543
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:35,217
Exploring the realm of superhero narratives unveils a profound engagement with themes of divinity and morality.
544
00:57:35,217 --> 00:57:40,717
For instance, in Batman, Son of the Demon, and Fantastic Four, God-War,
545
00:57:40,717 --> 00:57:46,840
the comics explicitly delve into the spiritual warfare that many hold to be a palpable reality.
546
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:52,283
Similarly, Hellboy 2 builds on its predecessor's success by presenting a
547
00:57:52,283 --> 00:57:57,217
character reminiscent of Lucifer as the protagonist. This narrative choice is
548
00:57:57,217 --> 00:58:03,840
underscored by the tagline, believe it or not, he's the good guy, challenging traditional moral dichotomies.
549
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:08,950
A snippet from the Hellboy 2 trailer subtly communicates a provocative message.
550
00:58:08,950 --> 00:58:13,840
Perhaps the figure historically vilified as Satan isn't inherently malevolent.
551
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:18,583
The trailer teases with the unsettling presence of an unseen world, ripe with
552
00:58:18,583 --> 00:58:23,850
anger and mystery, and suggests that humanity's last hope might ironically be
553
00:58:23,850 --> 00:58:30,840
a character aligned with dark forces, further blurring the lines between good and evil as traditionally conceived.
554
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:35,950
This brings us to a critical analysis model contrasting the characteristics of Christ
555
00:58:35,950 --> 00:58:41,150
with those of Lucifer. Christ is transparent about his identity, consistently
556
00:58:41,150 --> 00:58:45,840
benevolent, devoid of vanity, forgiving, and derives power from God.
557
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:50,850
In contrast, Lucifer conceals his true identity, possesses a mutable nature,
558
00:58:50,850 --> 00:58:56,840
uses physical allure as a facade, seeks vengeance, and sources power from within.
559
00:58:56,840 --> 00:59:01,250
Applying this model to superhero characters reveals a striking alignment
560
00:59:01,250 --> 00:59:07,840
with the latter attributes, challenging the audience to reconsider the moral foundations of these beloved figures.
561
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:13,050
X-Men provides a compelling case study, articulating the narrative of an existential
562
00:59:13,050 --> 00:59:16,840
conflict reminiscent of the great controversy between good and evil.
563
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:22,017
The dialogue acknowledges the historical turning points determined by clashes
564
00:59:22,017 --> 00:59:28,840
between opposing facets of human nature, framing mutants as both the perceived threat and the proposed cure.
565
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:32,983
This narrative wrestles with the concept of sacrifice for a greater cause,
566
00:59:32,983 --> 00:59:36,840
echoing the enduring struggle between divine and demonic forces.
567
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:43,617
The character Xavier, whose name evokes the notion of a savior, embodies uncertainty
568
00:59:43,617 --> 00:59:50,840
regarding the outcome of this cosmic conflict, a stark contrast to the assured victory promised in Christian eschatology.
569
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:55,583
This portrayal subtly invites the audience to consider their stance in an implied
570
00:59:55,583 --> 01:00:02,840
cosmic battle, perhaps even suggesting a rallying cry for a final stand, not unlike Lucifer's defiance.
571
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:07,417
This analysis prompts a reflection on the deeper messages embedded within
572
01:00:07,417 --> 01:00:11,650
superhero narratives, questioning whether these stories might subtly influence
573
01:00:11,650 --> 01:00:16,150
perceptions of morality, divinity, and are placed within a cosmic struggle,
574
01:00:16,150 --> 01:00:22,840
ultimately leaving a lasting imprint that requires divine intervention to realign with spiritual truth.
575
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:25,250
Is anyone familiar with this figure?
576
01:00:25,250 --> 01:00:29,517
This character represents Pan, a deity from Greek mythology
577
01:00:29,517 --> 01:00:33,840
known for embodying sexual deviance, rape, and torture.
578
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:38,750
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, Pan is depicted as a Greek
579
01:00:38,750 --> 01:00:43,840
fertility god, part human and part beast, often linked with Faunus by the Romans.
580
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:49,183
Traditionally considered the offspring of Hermes, Pan is portrayed as a robust,
581
01:00:49,183 --> 01:00:54,840
sensual entity adorned with goat-like features, including horns, legs, and ears.
582
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:58,840
Over time, the portrayal of his human attributes become more pronounced.
583
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:05,840
It's noteworthy that Christian representations of the devil frequently echoed the imagery associated with Pan.
584
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:10,583
Pan's realm was the wilderness, especially the mountains, where he oversaw
585
01:01:10,583 --> 01:01:17,840
shepherds and flocks, and was believed to induce baseless fear in humans, hence the term panic deriving from his name.
586
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:25,840
Has Pan's labyrinth come across anyone's radar? This film garnered significant acclaim at the 2006 Academy Awards.
587
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:32,017
Guillermo del Toro approached to helm the chronicles of Narnia, the lion, the witch,
588
01:01:32,017 --> 01:01:36,283
and the wardrobe, opted out due to his departure from Catholic faith,
589
01:01:36,283 --> 01:01:39,840
feeling disconnected from the narrative of resurrecting Aslan the lion.
590
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:45,917
Instead, del Toro directed Pan's labyrinth, weaving a dark fairy tale that blends
591
01:01:45,917 --> 01:01:50,840
elements of C.S. Lewis' Christian allegory with other classic children's literature.
592
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:53,840
Here's a peek at the Pan's labyrinth trailer.
593
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:17,917
Notice the inversion of concepts? There's death and life, beauty and misery.
594
01:02:17,917 --> 01:02:21,840
These reversals are hallmarks of Luciferian filmmaking.
595
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:28,840
Pan, historically venerated alongside Lucifer, and the labyrinth as a metaphor for Lucifer's entanglements.
596
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:33,840
Turning our attention to Philip Pullman, a distinguished author in children's literature.
597
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:39,017
His work, The Amber Spyglass, clinched the 2001 Whitbread Book of the Year,
598
01:02:39,017 --> 01:02:42,840
marking the first instance a children's book received this honor.
599
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:48,450
Northern Lights, another of his creations, won the Carnegie Medal in 1995
600
01:02:48,450 --> 01:02:55,840
and was later hailed as one of the 10 most significant children's novels in 70 years by Philip Carnegie Medal judges.
601
01:02:55,840 --> 01:03:01,483
In 2005, Pullman was awarded the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award by Sweden,
602
01:03:01,483 --> 01:03:07,840
a recognition second only to the Nobel Prize in Literature, accompanied by a substantial prize.
603
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:11,840
Pullman's stated aim, as he shared with the Washington Post, is to,
604
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:17,850
"I'm trying to undermine the basis of Christian beliefs. Mr. Lewis would think I'm doing the devil's work,"
605
01:03:17,850 --> 01:03:22,840
even acknowledging that C.S. Lewis might view his efforts as "doing the devil's work."
606
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:26,840
Later, in an interview, Pullman boldly states,
607
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:28,840
"...My books are about killing God."
608
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:33,750
This brings us to The Golden Compass, a film adaptation of Pullman's work
609
01:03:33,750 --> 01:03:37,840
that sparked conversation for its bold stance on religious themes.
610
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:39,840
The movie's promotional materials tease,
611
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:44,840
"...There are worlds beyond our own. The Golden Compass will show you the way."
612
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:47,840
Echoing the belief in a transcendent reality.
613
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:53,840
Let's delve into a clip from this film, paying close attention to its narrative and the portrayal of its fantastical elements,
614
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:58,183
inviting reflection on the underlying messages being communicated
615
01:03:58,183 --> 01:04:00,840
to audiences, especially the younger demographic.
616
01:04:06,840 --> 01:04:12,383
To remove Christianity from our lives, all that's needed is to start with one generation
617
01:04:12,383 --> 01:04:14,840
and begin indoctrinating those generations.
618
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:19,840
Millions might watch such films and come to believe that a demon could be a friend.
619
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:25,617
Delving into The Golden Compass, I found it features a device called an alethiometer,
620
01:04:25,617 --> 01:04:27,840
each symbol on it representing different concepts.
621
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:32,840
For instance, the serpent symbolizes evil, guile, and natural wisdom.
622
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:36,840
The sun signifies day, authority, and truth.
623
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:40,840
The angel represents messengers, hierarchy, and disobedience.
624
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:43,840
The Madonna embodies motherhood and feminine worship.
625
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:47,840
And the apple denotes sin, knowledge, and vanity.
626
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:53,217
These symbols, embedded with deep religious significance, are subtly introduced
627
01:04:53,217 --> 01:04:58,840
to audiences, particularly children, weaving a complex tapestry of ideas and beliefs.
628
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:01,840
And now, let's turn our attention to someone from the inside.
629
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:07,840
Someone who's seen it all and was even approached by the Illuminati, China McClain.
630
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:13,717
For those following her on social media, it's no secret that she has been vocally critical of Hollywood's
631
01:05:13,717 --> 01:05:19,840
shadowy underbelly and the compromises celebrities are often forced into for the sake of fame and wealth.
632
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:25,050
China, alongside her sisters Sierra and Lauren, seemed destined for stardom in
633
01:05:25,050 --> 01:05:31,840
the early 2010s, with their music group and roles in several films paving the way for what looked like flourishing solo careers.
634
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:37,883
Of the trio, China was particularly poised for greatness, blessed with an array of talents
635
01:05:37,883 --> 01:05:44,840
from singing to acting, all complimented by a charismatic presence on camera that had producers lining up.
636
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:50,840
Yet, at a crucial juncture, China chose to withdraw from the trajectory set before her.
637
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:55,317
The forthright reflections on the industry offer a rare glimpse behind the curtain,
638
01:05:55,317 --> 01:06:01,840
compelling us to pay close attention to her words and understand the pressures that lurk behind the spotlight.
639
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:08,083
Our culture's fascination with celebrity and the relentless pursuit of artistic
640
01:07:08,083 --> 01:07:12,840
recognition may seem harmless, a mere celebration of talent and storytelling.
641
01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:20,050
Yet, as we peel back the layers, a more complex narrative unfolds, revealing connections to ancient symbols,
642
01:07:20,050 --> 01:07:24,840
hidden agendas, and narratives that challenge the very core of our beliefs.
643
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:29,350
The resemblance of Hollywood's coveted trophies to symbols of divine strength,
644
01:07:29,350 --> 01:07:33,717
the subtle yet pervasive influence of Freemasonry within the industry,
645
01:07:33,717 --> 01:07:40,840
and the echo of ancient deities in the characters we adore hint at a concerted effort to weave a tapestry of ideas
646
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:47,317
that resonate with a much darker philosophy. These elements, often dismissed as mere coincidence
647
01:07:47,317 --> 01:07:51,883
or the creative whims of artists, may indeed hold a more sinister intent,
648
01:07:51,883 --> 01:07:56,840
aiming to subtly shift our perceptions, beliefs, and values.
649
01:07:56,840 --> 01:08:02,117
Celebrities and insiders, like Mel Gibson, Jim Brewer, and China McLain,
650
01:08:02,117 --> 01:08:07,840
have raised their voices, sharing insights from their experiences within this glittering world.
651
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:12,950
Their testimonies shed light on the pressures to conform, the sacrifices demanded
652
01:08:12,950 --> 01:08:18,840
in exchange for fame and fortune, and the moral compromises often hidden beneath the surface of success.
653
01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:23,917
These voices, emerging from the heart of the industry, urge us to look closer,
654
01:08:23,917 --> 01:08:29,840
to listen more intently, and to discern the messages being woven into the very fabric of entertainment.
655
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:35,650
The narrative spun in movies and television shows, the characters brought to life on the screen,
656
01:08:35,650 --> 01:08:40,840
and the themes celebrated through awards and accolades are not merely for amusement.
657
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:47,840
They are carefully crafted to engage, to enchant, and ultimately, to influence. From the subtle to the overt,
658
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:53,840
the entertainment industry wields a powerful tool in shaping culture, morality, and belief.
659
01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:59,217
As we stand at this crossroads, it's imperative to guard our hearts and minds,
660
01:08:59,217 --> 01:09:03,150
to critically evaluate the content we consume, and to recognize
661
01:09:03,150 --> 01:09:06,840
the potential for manipulation through the medium of entertainment.
662
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:11,283
The warnings from within the industry, the parallels to ancient myths and occult
663
01:09:11,283 --> 01:09:15,350
practices, and the moral ambiguities celebrated through our modern myths,
664
01:09:15,350 --> 01:09:18,840
call for a renewed vigilance in our consumption of media.
665
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:23,483
In light of these insights, let the revelations about the entertainment industry not
666
01:09:23,483 --> 01:09:29,840
only serve as a wake-up call, but also guide us back to a firmer foundation for our beliefs and values.
667
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:33,650
If the journey through the labyrinth of Hollywood's glamour and the shadowy tales
668
01:09:33,650 --> 01:09:39,840
woven into its fabric doesn't compel us to seek refuge and truth in Jesus Christ, what will?
669
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:44,383
This moment calls for an awakening to discern the truth amid the spectacle,
670
01:09:44,383 --> 01:09:49,450
urging us to anchor our lives in principles and a faith that remain unshaken
671
01:09:49,450 --> 01:09:52,840
by the ever-changing tides of cultural trends and blockbuster hits.
672
01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:58,850
This isn't merely an alert to the subtle influences at play, but an invitation to
673
01:09:58,850 --> 01:10:03,317
deepen our understanding and reconnect with Jesus Christ, offering us a
674
01:10:03,317 --> 01:10:08,840
compass to navigate through the noise and the allure towards a haven of genuine, unalterable truth.
675
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:15,840
As the world chases after celebrity culture, it's important for us to remember the guidance directly from Jesus.
676
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:18,840
In Luke 4:8, we're reminded,
677
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:20,840
"For it is written,
678
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:24,840
'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve.'"
