Beautiful! I appreciate Gigi's approach to difficult/uncomfortable topics like the Illuminati, Lucifer and such. She has this excellent video on the Alice in Wonderland/Persephone parallel that vindicates my adoration of the Wonderland story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuNnRAOtY0E&ab_channel=GigiYoung
Thanks for writing this, I 100% agree! In 2021, deep into the scamdemic, I was once asked outright if I was "controlled opposition" (ha, as if one would reply "yes" if that was the case); I cracked up at that question! Afterwards I wondered why and I realized there are all these accidental "signs" that people misinterpreted in my art and music (eg the one eye being covered on a cover artwork for a single, a pentagram in a video (which I only realized later), a picture of me wearing a hexagon necklace... I could find many other symbols if I looked hard enough), all these symbols I had no idea about before I was "awake". I would always reply "But who decided that *they* own numbers, shapes or colours, or any literary reference. Such things existed long before they existed, and/or in spite of them...".
Ugh, I feel you! It's so ridiculous! I'm coming to think that this "symbolism hunting" is an attack on Art itself, as it seeks to restrict what Artists can use to express Truth. It's censorship at best, anti-Truth at worst.
I feel the same! Take the Swastika.....because a bunch of europeans (and americans btw) misused and abused the symbol for 12 years---that does not discount the many thousands of years its been in use.....
Same, I remember being told when I lived in Paris that I *should not* use the Swastika on an invitation card I was sending out because of its Nazi connotations. I had to remind people that... um, actually I was Hindu, and that it was the symbol of my ancient religion!
OOF, I feel this one! The swastika was very important to my Indian ancestors wayyyyy before the Nazis inverted it. So I'm supposed to stop taking pride in my own cultural symbols, to avoid being assumed racist? Ironically, that mandate IS racist. But paranoia by its nature isn't too concerned with logic, so, LOL.
I had an unusual thought as I read your words and contemplated how often so-called rebels will self-sabotage by cutting down anyone who takes a serious stand. I hope you don't mind me sharing:
From the last couple of years of Jesus' life, we each can learn SO much about love, our own power, and yes, resistance. But too many folks seem to have gleaned their lessons from the Pharisees. The Pharisees were literally subjugated by the Romans but still imagined themselves as "in charge." They wore their costumes and signaled their virtue. And if someone came up with a better plan - or even just a different plan - that person was attacked and labeled a "false prophet."
I've moved with "activists" all across the ideological spectrum and I'm left wondering how many of them actually want the change they claim to crave.
Yes! Great comparison! Too often, counter-movements replicate the same power dynamics they learned from the dominant culture. So instead of actually creating something new, they rehash the old. In this case, "Illuminati" accusations seem to exist for the sole purpose of stopping anyone from truly standing in their magickal power to create reality. And how is that any different from how the dominant culture/Matrix tries to stop us from standing in our power?
And funny you mention the Pharisees, because I almost put this Bible passage in the article to show that even Jesus -- the most innocent person ever -- got accused of being Evil. Jesus's response was basically, "Be careful. If you see Innocence as 'evil,' you will never recover your soul."
Matthew 12:22-32
Jesus Is Accused of Working with Beelzebul
22 Then some people brought Yeshua a man possessed by a demon. The demon made the man blind and unable to talk. Yeshua cured him so that he could talk and see.
23 The crowds were all amazed and said, “Can this man be the Son of David?” 24 When the Pharisees heard this, they said, “This man can force demons out of people only with the help of Beelzebul, the ruler of demons.”
25 Since Yeshua knew what they were thinking, he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is ruined. And every city or household divided against itself will not last. 26 If Satan forces Satan out, he is divided against himself. How, then, can his kingdom last? 27 If I force demons out of people with the help of Beelzebul, who helps your followers force them out? That’s why they will be your judges. 28 But if I force demons out with the help of God’s Spirit, then the kingdom of God has come to you. 29 How can anyone go into a strong man’s house and steal his property? First he must tie up the strong man. Then he can go through his house and steal his property.
30 “Whoever isn’t with me is against me. Whoever doesn’t gather with me scatters. 31 So I can guarantee that people will be forgiven for any sin or cursing. However, cursing the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven. But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven in this world or the next.
And for the record, I'm not comparing myself or Alicen to Jesus. I'm merely stating the obvious: A unifying path to victory has existed for thousands of years.
"And allow them their choices of discernment too"? Nope. Being triggered is not the same as "discernment." To draw foul conclusions about a person's character and activities based solely on the colors they wear, etc., is actually a total *lack* of discernment. I deeply sympathize with people who've been traumatized to the point where commonplace things trigger them -- but that cannot become grounds for haphazard accusations of child- or animal-abuse. Nobody is obligated to like my art, but I'm not obligated to tolerate that kind of malignment either.
Thank you Alicen.
I feel moved to post this here for some reason. https://youtu.be/XW0ThOShEzg

Oh, that's great that you know of her! Yes, I've also watched the Hidden in plain sight series. So much of that going on just now...

Yes, I think your take is correct!

I am so enjoying reading this conversation between different people I know from different places, and like very much :)
And I think what is known as "inverted swastika" in the U.S. is a very old Bon symbol. And also this, I remember that article from my ICT days. https://ictnews.org/archive/swastika-day-organizers-point-to-symbols-native-origins
That was pretty funny. I've a friend that's like that sometimes, then he'll say it's the Jesuits all the Jesuits...
Some of the crazy they say. I met an oldie last week who she thinks JFK Sn is Donald Trump in disguise and he never died. 🤯
Had to read this from Tessa Lena's interview. She's right, it's hilarious and sharp as a tack!
Thank you for reading! 🥰
The simple yet caring advice comes to my mind for a lot of what's surfacing around misplaced understandings - Get a grip❣️
💫Hippity-hopping in joy, harming none.🐰
hahaha this comment is so cute 🐇
Tell the truth. ❤️🦋
Thank you and AMEN! 🙏

Jesus = BADASS. ✊
