<p>John speaks on songs he has written while part of a Christian group that focused on the Trinity and the "process" of the two "becomings" of John 1:14 and 1 Corinthians 15:45. He talks of the many depictions of the Spirit in the NT (Spirit of Christ, Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead, the Seven Spirits, the Holy Spirit, etc.). He went on to talk about Athanasius ("the Divine became man that man might become Divine") and the Arian controversy that resulted in the Council of Nicea (325 AD). He speaks on the development through Ignatius' promotion of a "monarchial" bishop among the elders in a church and the resultant hierarchy of the papacy (whereas Polycarp, a contemporary, is not seen endorsing Ignatius' idea). The ministry John was under for 30 years took interest in the Arian Controversy due to its emphasis on the relationship of the Three in the Trinity and John came to admire Athanasius' resolute stand, which resulted in his repeatedly being exiled (hence coming to be known as Athanasius Contra Mundum). The Nicean Council was composed of those who had survived the Diocletian Persecution, and the wording that resulted illustrates how central the Arian Controversy was at the time (i.e., homoousion vs. homoiousion) and the analogous difference between Jehovah Witnesses' belief and the "orthodox" view with regards to the Person of the Son. John mentions verses in the NT such as John 7:39 ("the Spirit was not yet given because Jesus was not yet glorified") and how Jesus breathed into the disciples on the day of His resurrection, as opposed to how the Spirit was "poured out" on the day of Pentecost. John also speaks of the Seven Spirits in the book of Revelation, and how they are the seven eyes of the Lamb and the seven torches/lamps upon the seven golden lampstands, which are the seven churches to which John writes. The relationship between Spirit, the Son and the Father in the Trinity is not straightforward matter! John also talks about the impact of the teachings of the Plymouth Brethren upon American theology via such institutions as Dallas Theological Seminary. John mentions Isaiah 9:6, where the Son is called the Father, etc. He plays a tune he wrote to Galatians 2:20 ("I live and yet not I"). John launches into a discussion about the seminal All Saved Freak Band, and those who were primary players (Joe and Randy Markko, leader Larry Hill, noted guitarist <u>Glenn Schwartz</u>, and the classically trained Massman sisters) based on his reading of "When Someday Comes: Memoirs of a Survivor" by Joe Markko and "Fortney Road: Life, Death, and Deception in a Christian Cult" by Jeff C. Stevenson. He particularly speaks of tragic events surrounding Joe and Randy Markko. John notes how he personally knows someone who lived for two years as a part of the Christian commune known as Church of the Risen Christ Farm of which the ASFB was an outreach. John mentions how friends Joe Walsh and Glenn Schwartz had recently joined up for some collaborative guitar work. John concludes speaking of the seventy weeks in Daniel and by playing songs by Matisyahu, and how they were related via the seventy weeks prophecy, broken up as it was into 62 weeks and 7 weeks and one FINAL WEEK, and how the rebuilding of the temple is thus something longed for by both Christians and Jews. </p>

<p>On the current flurry of UFO "disclosure" documentaries on streaming services, and the warning of some, such as Whitley Strieber, of a coming "ontological shock" when people find out "the truth." One of the groups he claims will experience it the most are scientists. John wonders what sort of shock this might be: as in Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke, or the Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu, or as what Neo experienced in the Matrix? Government whistleblower's like David Grusch claim to have access to dozens of credible witnesses with direct knowledge of "non-human biologics" and exotic off-world technologies. So what? Science bets everything on the Standard Model, with a predictable rolling back of events to the Big Bang, etc. But what if people like physicist Melvin Vopson are on to something when they hypothesize that we are in a simulated reality, like a video game? AI generated graphics have made what is produced indistinguishable from what is "real".... and in such a realm, there are trees that haven't grown, mountains that weren't uplifted by tectonics, etc. (Phillip Gosse wrote of this in his book "Omphalos," in which he defends the "Genesis Gap" idea that between the first two verses in Genesis there is a span of unknown time, and what is here was begun with the appearance of age... trees fully formed with tree rings, wouldn't Adam also be formed... with a belly button?) Such a thing would overthrow most everything in science. And, John wonders, whether perhaps we should disengage from AI while we can, let it go its way, and let us go along separated from it. Otherwise, will it not simply shape our existence? (Or terminate it, a la Skynet?) But as to UAPs/UFOs, it is hard to argue against what has been experienced by persons such as Dorothy Izatt ("Capturing the Light") who recorded inexplicable things on various frames of her 8mm or Super-8 film footage. So perhaps something IS ready to "drop," but what would it be? Perhaps it would undo the naturalistic/materialistic view of scientism, along with the supernatural beliefs of many world religions. Quantum mechanics has already knocked down a straight-on causalistic view of nature. But in a simulated reality, such as in the Matrix, where the baddie who betrays the good guys gives it up for a life of simulated luxury ("I know this steak isn't real...") but... as Bishop Berkeley argued, what is reality anyway but what is PERCEIVED? Beyond that, can we prove our sense organs truly exist? Can we prove we have noses, ears, eyes, or even optic nerves? And should we care? What would matter to John would be not if ANYTHING is there, but is ANYONE there? That is the side he is sold out on... there is SOMEONE who has fashioned all this who did it for me and cares about me... and that we can reach. What if the data we have collected in science has been provided in anticipation that it WOULD be? Perhaps not even as John Wheeler's Participatory Anthropic Principle (PAP) would have it, but rather as John Berglund's ANTICIPATORY Anthropic Principle would? The act of observation that collapses the wave function in Quantum Mechanics points to power of the observer which is of the same type that must be collapsing the wave function of the ENTIRE UNIVERSE. Anyway... Jacques Vallee has an interesting idea about who the entities on these UAPs might be. John himself had an experience when he was a teen during one dark winter's night in Minnesota. It began his solipsistic struggle, which was solved only upon reaching out to the Creator who was able to bypass his secondary senses to reach directly into him, and knowing Him, John is convinced everything (and everyone) else is just as real as it NEEDS to be. We all believe the means to contact God directly... no need for radio telescopes seeking out the universe for some signal. As Insane Clown Posse sings, "He's out there!" ("Thine Unveiling") The "physical" world plays second fiddle... the true REALITY is here and there's yet more to come.</p>
