Who gets the last laugh? Listen and it will not be very hard to figure out. The mainstream media has been misleading you all this time and understanding the truth is indeed frightening.

Repentance or Vain Glory?
Again, a good thing appears to be done for the all the wrong reasons in Russia. While commemorating all the victims of communism is a good thing, it is not an act of repentance as long as it is done for gaining earthly glory and recognition. The main motive behind this move is, as clearly stated, to gain the status of new “world leaders”, as the West collapses.
While Christ was tempted with wordly power and refused it, others seem to be ready to take it.
Quote:
‘Russian Government Announces Sweeping Policy to Commemorate Repressions of Soviet Era.
The government of Russia has announced a sweeping new policy commemorating the victims of past repressions during the era of the Soviet Union.
The ‘State Policy on Commemorating the Memory of Victims of Political Repression’ was signed by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev on August 15 and published on the government’s website on August 18.
The policy was developed by order of President Vladimir Putin, the presidential administration and the Human Rights Council. The HRC requested its formulation in a meeting with the president last October.
The Russian news agency TASS publishes a commentary on the policy on August 19 by Lyudmila Alexandrova. The writer cites the government document:
“Russia cannot become a full-fledged state ruled by law or occupy a leading position in the world community unless it memorializes the millions of its citizens who perished during the years of political repressions.”’

The Orthodox Women
These four ‘un-canonized’ Holy Saints were martyred during the first half of the 20th century, by the anti-Christ servants who wanted to make Orthodox Romania their dwelling place… A great number of Orthodox faithful joined the Legion of Archangel Michael, a unique brotherhood of our modern times which was founded by Holy Martyr and Confessor Corneliu Zelea Codreanu. This organization is an Orthodox Movement, which acted politically as well, because the evil forces started to destroy Christian Romania, in the same manner that other countries like Russia was demolished at the end of the World War I… These people tried to change an imposed makeup onto the Orthodox society, by resisting demonic oppressions, through Christ and His Saints! The following Holy Martyrs are among many more that have been killed and suffered in extermination camps under communist oppression but also besieged under different political tyrannies, during the whole 20th century!
Ecateriana Gata (+ 9 April 1949)Ecaterina was born in Sibiu, on 1924. This city is placed geographically in the centre of Romania. Ecaterina had an athletic body, blonde hair, oval face and large green eyes. She liked to wear a white blouse with chest national model. Ecaterina followed primary and secondary school levels in her native city, then moved to Bucharest with her mother and brother. Although she had many suitors, Ecaterina never married because since childhood she had chosen the path of monasticism. Father Arsenie Boca had given blessing for her to entry monasticism once had to settle things. Only that such settling never took place. It was after WW2 when Ecaterina was arrested. At that time, when communism took over the entire Eastern Europe, many Romanians tried to resist this oppression in many ways, from guerilla warfare, insurgency that lasted more than ten years, retreating to wilderness, or running away from this country. When all the other viewpoints but atheism had to ‘disappear’, hundreds of thousands were arrested and murdered…
Ecaterina Gata was severely interrogated and beaten. In the so-called investigation Ana Pauker http://content.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,19480920,00.html was directly involved, because Ecaterina was a very strong anti-communist woman being part the hierarchy of this mentioned Orthodox brotherhood. That Ana Pauker was the horrible woman in charge with communist internal affairs in Romania, after WW2, when soviet tanks took over this land. But Ecaterina’s interrogation ended shortly after she spat Ana Pauker herself! In eight long days, they killed her slowly. An officer bound her, beat her brutally, mutilated her breasts with pliers, raped her with an iron stick as well, and finally, killed her.
On 9th of April 1949 the murderers called her brother, arrived from the front, and brought him into the cell where Ecaterina was hanged with her own cord. A few days later, the mother tried to recover her body for burial, but it disappeared and never found again. Many believe that the demonically possessed atheists either threw Ecaterina’s body into a common grave or burnt in crematorium… https://saccsiv.wordpress.com/2015/08/16/legionara-ecaterina-gata-a-scuipat-o-pe-ana-pauker-drept-urmare-i-au-smuls-sanii-cu-clestele-au-violat-o-i-au-bagat-un-fier-in-vagin-si-au-ucis-o/
Lucia Grecu (+ 5 February 1939)Lucia Grecu was born on 3rd of February 1912, in Bucharest. She was a highly educated young woman, with a double degree in physics and chemistry. Lucia joined the Legion of Archangel Michael from early years, as she loved to work for her Orthodox fellows. She was arrested after a pursuit by more than two hundred secret service individuals, on 29th of January 1939 in Bucharest, and passed to the Police. Was Lucia living in a communist dictatorship? No, she was a kind and modest young woman, living in the Orthodox Kingdom of Romania, where the rules of Orthodox Laws were supposed to have been established and working fine! Why did they kill Lucia and many other thousands, in that ‘free democracy’? What kind of society they were trying to establish in an Orthodox country, when targeting the young generation? At that time, communism was a weird and a foreign term, very far away from any ‘fulfillment’. Although, for some ‘officials’ with bloodstained hands, running from own salvation was quite an attempt…
Lucia is an Orthodox Martyr who, in her earthly life, wanted to resist those Masonic ideas and philosophies, foreign to Orthodoxy, which were to take over her land. She was tortured like the first Orthodox Saints were… Lucia died two days after her 27th birthday, saying not a word against any of her friends! She resisted to an incredible pressure, physically and spiritually. While dying, Lucia was thrown through a window from the fourth floor of the Police headquarters, simulating a suicide… People were passing when the event happened: it was snowing and her body, gushing blood on the snowy pavement made people to start crying, then yelling: “murderers and criminals!”, and crossing themselves in reverence to the New Saint! Many recognized the angelic face of Lucia and realized the dimension of her martyrdom, making her a new Addition to the Legion of Saints in Heaven, together with many others, murdered in the same manner. https://bucovinaprofunda.wordpress.com/2015/02/06/5-februarie-pomenirea-sfintei-mucenite-lucia-grecu-cum-a-fost-asasinata-lucia-grecu/
Elena Bagdad (+ 22 September 1939)On 22nd September 1939, Elena who was very sick of tuberculosis, laying on her sufferance bad for eight months already, was taken forcefully out of the hospital. She was brought on a street linking the province capital, Jassy, to an important town, and executed. Elena was told to turn with her back. “Why?” she replied? “To execute you”, they said. Elena revolted: “What do you think that a member of this Legion of the Archangel, the Orthodox school that I went through, made me feel scared of death? You better shoot me straight on, directly into my heart, shoot without a tremble hand!” But the hand of the executioner trembled, so that five bullets did not kill her! “For God’s Sakes, you’re not capable to fire? Do you want me to show to you how to shoot?” Another executioner, of a higher rank, took the gun and killed Elena with three bullets.
The slaughterers left Elena in the street, going to their bosses for a reward… A ranger found her, as Elena looked like resting her head on one of the arms. At this sight of a sleeping virgin, he crossed himself and went away! Afterward, a few peasants found Elena and buried her body in an almost standing position. People called her the Persecuted saintly virgin! https://danielvla.wordpress.com/2014/09/23/martiriul-comandantei-legionare-elena-bagdad/
Nicoleta Nicolescu (+ 10 July 1938)Nicoleta was arrested together with other young women members of the Legion of Archangel Michael, in 1938. She was raped, tortured in all kinds, woken up and thrown into a crematorium. The murderers were also uniformed policemen and members of different other units, who became really scarred of her resistance in front of such terrible ordeals… Nicoleta had her entire body pierced with knives, but she was not dying! The criminals put her into a bag to take her body to crematorium. Over there, the sack just opened revealing Nicoleta’s head which popped up, gasping for air. The tools of the anti-Christ just threw her body, alive, into the incinerator. Nicoleta died by this extremely painful fire, under the horrid supervision of the torturers, who couldn’t figure out why it took so long… https://bucovinaprofunda.wordpress.com/2011/07/14/10-iulie-martiriul-nicoletei-nicolescu-torturata-si-arsa-de-vie-la-crematoriul-din-bucuresti/
Now, in our 21st century, there are no more two communist and capitalist ‘camps’ fighting each other. Communism was ‘defeated’ and ‘freedom’ is all over the place for everyone to grab, and we all are the happy beneficiary of this change! Spot on? NOT TRUE! Because we are living in a bog of increasing misery, as inhabitants of an earth under things as these: global warming as a faith, pornography available for the young, drugs taken through all senses simultaneously, slavery for all men, euthanasia as part of your health, abortion as freedom of choice, chemtrails over all lands, global net of spying-you-spying-me, demonic and digital ‘transformations’ of all matter, medical practitioners as mass murderers, Big Pharma on every nightstand, killers of Christ as supermen, and ‘everybody’ waiting for anti-Christ to come to fix all problems! God forbid!!! We have Christ God Incarnate and His Orthodox Church! He was born, He died and then He Resurrected for our sake! This is our Model, together with His Saints!
May Christ God the Lord have mercy on us, through the prayers of these Saints, who sacrificed themselves by their pains, endurance and ongoing struggles, so that we become aware of this short life which lacks the real dimensions of the one that was lost and of the one that is to come, in Eternity!

A thought on the current market situation
Things appear to have started to move towards a new financial crisis, as we expected. Chinese markets have seen devastating drops for the last few days. Yet today, Aug 25, the western markets seem to have started to shrug off the worries, despite fresh loses in China where the markets fell again by 7.6%. They are trying to give the impression that the troubles in China can be ignored as they were China’s only. A false sense that the West is not that worried is gaining momentum. This is just a strategy to gain some time to try to get their act together, behind the scenes. The plunge-protection-teams, together with the corrupt media, seem to have launched one last coordinated effort to try to convince you that everything is fine.
This strategy may work for a few weeks at best …
All they want is for the “smart money” to completely exit the markets while the fools are being left behind:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-08-25/so-why-smart-money-was-selling-most-stocks-history
What seems they don’t want you to see is that China has started massive dumping of US treasuries to try to free up liquidity so much in need of right now:

In Defence of the Romanian Orthodox Church of the Old Calendar
Before we start, please allow us to state that we have no ties to the Romanian Orthodox Church of the Old Calendar (ROCOC), but we have been following the controversy about whether they are or are not Canonical. The efforts of World Orthodoxy to convince everyone that ROCOC (and those alike) are in fact uncanonical are well recognized.
The controversy has been inflamed even more by Romanian Theologian Danion Vasile, who after joining ROCOC for a short period of time, has decided he had made a mistake and returned to the official Romanian Orthodox Church. The main argument presented in support of his decision was a document signed in both Romanian and Greek in 1979, by which the Greek Orthodox Old Calendar Church hierarchs recognized ROCOC as a Sister Church and established full communion with her. ROCOC also signed the declaration. In presenting all the evidence, Danion makes it clear that the question of canonicity was not at all about the Greek Orthodox Church of The Old Calendar, but about that of ROCOC. Theologian Danion presents scanned copies of this declaration on his website which clearly show that both parties acknowledged that there were indeed some serious concerns about the circumstances in which Bishop Galaction of ROCOC ordained two Bishops. While under house arrest, Bishop Galaction performed the cheirothesia on his own, and ROCOC has argued that the ordinations were valid given the conditions of severe persecution under which the ROCOC was at the time. Danion Vasile then makes the case that the canon in question can indeed be broken under such conditions but it was necessary for Bishop Galaction to seek at least a letter of support from another Bishop.
The case is strong and well argued, but unfortunately it tries to stick more to the letter of the law than to the spirit of the law. Indeed there is no question, mistakes were made by Bishop Galaction (and others) as very well argued by Theologian Danion. Instead, what we believe was overlooked in his analysis was exactly what was contained in those signed documents. The documents presented by Danion, while confirming the mistakes, also represent a written form of confession! Rather than looking at the documents as a reason for condemnation, it may be wiser to look at them as an act of repentance! Both signatory parties have acknowledged in writing that some things were not exactly right in the way ROCOC was established. Was what Metropolitan Galaction did absolutely canonical? No. Yet it was not categorically uncanonical either! On top of this, as Theologian Danion underlines, more mistakes were done by other people, who out of an unholy zeal, tried to hide or twist some historical facts in some books. Yet God always gives time for repentance, God has economy! Just like it is well argued in Danion’s article (who makes reference to another article written by Vladimir Moss), the Ecumenical Patriarchate has made a similar (if not bigger) mistake in 1920 by adopting Ecumenism as doctrine, but it is not considered they have fallen out of grace (yet). What is then the difference? Here we have ROCOC who have repented of their sin, they have confessed their mistakes in writing, and signed the declaration! Not the same can be said about the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
Since when has the very essence of Orthodox Christianity been removed from the Orthodox Doctrine? Since when has repentance become unacceptable in the Orthodox Church? Yes, Metropolitan Galaction acted in part out of pride, but that mistake was confessed by his Church, in writing, and the very documents presented stand evidence. Who can stand in God’s place and assume the responsibility to judge that what ROCOC did was completely uncanonical? Let us not forget that our Lord Jesus Christ showed us that the publican, who confessed his sins condemning only himself, was found to be more justified before God than the pharisee, who considering himself the be standing right in the law, and who out of pride kept thanking Him for not being a sinner like the publican.
Yes, it is hard to be in ROCOC’s shoes right now. The damage has already been done to a great extent. What we would do if we were ROCOC? We would let all the hate and condemnation come forth without fighting back. They have already done what was right before God – they have repented! Have they repented fully? No. They have done it to a great extent, but they still have more to confess, there are still things that need to be made right. Having done that, we would then not be afraid to stand before the judgement Seat of Christ!

On the cusp of the biggest financial crisis in history
Every now and then the mainstream media warns us. Those following the financial news know this is close. The ever-increasing desperation in the markets, coupled with the more and more evident central banks panicked interventions to make everything appear normal cannot last much longer.
This coming crisis is not ordinary, but one that will lead to universal bondage and slavery. Those who used the crisis seven years ago as a wakeup call and prepared, acted wisely.
Many of the clergy know of this coming crisis as well. We have heard of one Bishop saying “do you think I don’t know there is another crisis coming”? Many of them are there only specifically to prepare for this event. People will become desperate and looking for answers. Churches will go bankrupt like everyone else, their moneys will be lost in the banking collapse and depositor bail-ins. It will become impossible to be a big Church and survive in the system without having to compromise. These clergy have been trying to stir congregations and Church councils in certain directions in preparation for what is to come. Where some may appear as having failed, they have probably considered it was better to wait for a “more favourable time”, like this coming crisis. Poor people who tried to rezist hostile takeovers will be run over, and in the end all bricks shall be given to the worldly authority.
There are of course still Bishops and clergy who are genuinely unsuspecting. Let us pray for them that they make wise decisions in the trying times ahead, and stand ready to support them!
A Church that wants to survive has to be ready to give up everything, materially. It is the Living Church that must be saved at all cost!

To Judge or not To Judge
Luke 6:37 – “Judge not, and you shall not be judged: condemn not, and you shall not be condemned”.
Too often we hear, “oh, you are judging” as the label used most to quickly put you in your place when you say something that is contrary to someone else’s beliefs or against authority (and this is exactly the screen behind which hide all those that would rather not have you say what you think). If you say something that is in contradiction with world’s wisdom or with the authority (including Bishops or Clergy), you are classified as a judging person to whom people should not listen to. Way too often do we hear this “labeling” uttered out of context or without being explained how exactly we are judging. It is therefore important to understand the exact meaning of “judging” so that we can always respond to those who accuse us of being mutinous.
In order to understand the correct meaning of the term “to judge”, we need to go back to the basic, literal meaning – a judge is a person who has been delegated the authority to enforce a law. The assembly of all judges form the judicial power. The act of judging means pronouncing a sentence that is associated with a punitive (or rewarding) action, against someone.
In the Orthodox Church there is no such authority (yet) that dares to call itself the “Grand Inquisitor”. Yes, in the Orthodox Church the authority (a Synod or a Bishop) can pronounce anathemas against a false teaching or a heresy, but it is outsides the responsibilities of this authority to impose sanctions by force on the wrongdoers and wrong-believers. Anathema means the breaking off of the communion with those that fall from the truth, nothing more.
In Roman-Catholicism, this understanding has been perverted, and its history of inquisitions and crusades (which continue to today in various forms) stand testimony. According to this wrong understanding, the truth must be forced upon others by force and coercion (as man is incapable of having a direct and personal relation with his Creator, or to correctly understand the Truth). The option of using one’s own free-will and conscience for discerning between good and evil is taken away and transferred from the individual to an external entity (The Catholic Church), thus making the work of these two souls saving characteristics in man irrelevant. Man can no longer participate in the mystical work of his own salvation by using his own conscience and free-will (the image and likeness of God in man), and he is required to transfer this work to an external authority.
This difference is precisely the context where this notion of “judgement” should be placed. One executes judgement when trying to impose his/her views on somebody else, by force. The act of simply stating a truth as understood, and delimiting from the position of others does not constitute an act of judgement. On the contrary, when this is followed by the act of trying to force one’s views on others, then it does constitute judgement, because now one puts himself in the position of a “law enforcer”.
Do not therefore be afraid to speak up even against an authority, or against anyone who confesses a wrong set of beliefs, contrary to yours or to Christ’s. Showing the deception that others want you to accept does not make you a judge, as long as your actions consist of simply stating the case and delimiting from them. The same principles apply in the Little Church – the Family.
In Orthodox Christianity the only judge is Christ, and He alone can enforce His laws. No earthly authority can do this for Him. If it does, then this authority is called “Anti-Christ”, or “instead of Christ”. The role of the Church is to unite each and every individual with Christ, in a personal way, through the works of its mysteries. The Church is there to teach everyone how to find and unite with Christ in his own heart. There is no such concept as “collective salvation”.
Christ showed us what judging truly means: Luke 12:13-14 – “And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?” Or in other words, “I am not here to force your brother to do something against his will”.
The act of coercion can also take the form of making threats like “if you don’t agree with me, then ‘i am going to do this or that’, or ‘you are outside the Truth or the Church’, or ‘you are excommunicated’”, without being able to prove the accusations in the spirit of the law, demanding unconditional obedience and submission. Ultimatelly, God alone has the capacity to judge whether someone is outside the Law or not. When we say accusations like this we already pronounce judgement as we consider ourselves to be the authority in applying God’s law! Rather we should say: “i do not agree with you and i shall not share your beliefs”, and we should leave it at that – if our position is correct then God Himself shall make just judgement, for the Truth is His and He Himself will defend it – it is not our duty to enforce it, but to state it, to confess it!
Be vigilant, because there are forces at work in the world today that shall soon ask every one to be a judge, and they already are. They themselves are coming as judges, already calling on us to divide our inheritance with others!

The Game Theory
Before we start, let us quickly look at the Game Theory definition:
“Game theory is a branch of mathematics that represents interdependent decision making. By “interdependent decision” making I mean situations (arguably most, if not all, of those we face in life) where the outcomes of one’s decision depends on decisions made by others. One of the most frequently discussed models in game theory is the well-known Prisoner’s Dilemma.”
http://www.wired.com/2012/04/probability-and-game-theory-in-the-hunger-games/
When we first raised concerns about Mr Varoufakis and his role in the unfolding of the Greek drama, we did not fully understand the parameters of what we were looking at. Today, we can observe a few more “details”. We know for example that Mr Varoufakis was educated in the West from an early age, and continued his career by teaching at prestigious Western universities like Essex, East Anglia (remember ClimateGate scandal?) and Cambridge before moving to Sydney where he taught at the University of Sydney’s economics department. Mr Varoufakis spent more than a decade in Australia, where his research mainly focused on game theory, the mathematical study of decision-making and of conflict and strategy in social situations.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-02-19/who-is-yanis-varoufakis/6148862
What has really got us thinking more about what this may really mean, was the reading of the following article written about a Psychology Professor at the University of Maryland, Dylan Selterman, who happens to focus on the same Game Theories and Prisoner’s Dilemma.
While reading the article, it is hard to fail to notice terms that strike a very sensible cord, like: communal choice, commons dilemma etc, not failing to mention the challenges the humanity faces: global warming, etc, you get the idea. The overall tone of the article and what it seems to specifically try to emphasize is the importance of trying to channel people’s focus to the needs of the collective and the promotion of the idea of the common good, and it tries to suggest how each individual can contribute towards achieving these goals, especially under scenarios carefully chosen to portray situations of scarcity or shortages (or hard times). Ultimately, what the author is trying to suggest is unity in face of calamity (yes, same theme!). The message is quite clear, the utopian communist ideals are cleverly packaged and re-sold all over again – who could have thought about Communism coming to the West? Poor students and peoples are once again falling victims to this deception, now on an even larger scale.
Besides this, there is an even more troubling aspect to all of this, which is the degree of scientific support this effort is getting. The analogies are clearly focusing around the “Prisoner’s Dilema” scenario, on which the Game Theory “science” seems to be based upon or refer back to in one way or another. This now becomes interesting, the idea of man as “prisoner”. Why?
This opens up a whole new perspective in understanding where this whole thing is heading. Just take a look at what has just happened to Greece as a nation. Many look at Mr Varoufakis’ strategy as a failure, or a failed “Game Theory” experiment, but if your goal was to transform a whole nation into a nation of hunger game participants (prisoners), then this could be considered an utter success. And this is where it all comes around full circle: The Hunger Games movie and the ideas behind it. Upon a closer look at what this movie’s message really is, things become quite clear: everyone is a prisoner in a society where the elite oppress the masses. Elysium is another example. These movies are all trying to imprint a sublime message in peoples minds: that in which everyone becomes a prisoner to the ruling elite – a small group of people oppressing the many (which links into Liberation Theology very neatly). The scenarios behind movies like The Hunger Games and Elysium resemble closely the scenarios of scarcity and shortages (basically hard times) described by Professor Dylan Selterman. It now becomes very clear, the same old communist ideals are now repackaged and resold in a whole new context, one which will be more favorable to being finally accepted by the vast masses – some cataclysmic events that lead to extremely hard time which require an “appropriate”, “common” stance.
What are Professor Dylan’s solutions? Let us quote directly from the article:
“Another strategy relies on shame rather than money; we could make people’s behaviour publicly identifiable so they are no longer anonymous (a former student suggested that I write a list of all people who chose 6 points for the whole class to see). Threats to reputation can be a powerful motivator.
The idea is to turn everyone into a police state participant, everyone becomes a judge of others, just like in everyone’s favourite TV show: “The Voice”. The way this new social model works is by ensuring everyone ensures everyone else abides by the rules, for the sake of the common good, the system of universal spying becomes the new norm, and the new God becomes some form of a collective conscience which will judge everyone.
There are important Orthodox prophecies describing just such a scenario in which we all become prisoners. Blessed Seraphim Rose and Herman Podmoshensky mentioned the coming “universal money crisis” that is being readied for humanity in their Orthodox Survival Course, and St Kosmas of Aetolia also prophesied this about the events unfolding in the End Times:
“The rich will become poor and the poor will die”.
http://www.imdleo.gr/diaf/files/english/St_Kosmas/St.%20Kosmas_pro.html
And this is how everyone becomes a “prisoner”, or a “hunger game” contestant. Given the level of surveillance we are being subjected to, we already are all prisoners. Whatever happened in Greece looks more like a deliberate act rather than a failed experiment. It is all a game with people’s minds, now conducted in a scientific way.
For us, Orthodox Christians, their idea of a “role model prisoner” has no relevance. There is only one role model we can follow: that of the Holy Confessors and Martyrs of the Communist Prisons. Against this role model, a unimaginable war is being raged right now, as it always has. In Romania for example, the Parliament and the (western) president had just passed a law putting most of these Saints outside legality by declaring the movement to which most of them belonged to as a fascist, thus an illegal one. The Orthodox Church in Romania, having missed (intentionally?) the opportunity to canonize them, has put itself in the position where this becomes truly impossible now, for if it wanted to indeed canonize them it would go into direct conflict with the political authorities.
So what sort of hope is there left for us? Only to follow in their (these Saints) example!

Medicine and The Fallen Man
The wicked Aldous Huxley: “Medicine is so ahead of its time that nobody is healthy anymore”
The doctor usually tells you to follow some tests for measuring your glycemic index, to indentify the amount of Magnesium in your body, to monitor your blood pressure and pulse, and to keep an eye on your weight, but all in one, you need to keep a certain set of measurements for every part of your body and the functions associated… Obviously, people are experiencing different kinds of illnesses more or less severe. But the normal of today MUST be designed and maintained according to the much updated profession of the medical practitioners that is of the new medicine-men!
We have to bring up to date the Procrustean bed from the Greek mythology, which gave that arbitrary standard of everything: if one is shorter than this bed length, the one will be elongated… to death, and if some were longer, well, they will be shortened by a very sharp edge… Let us try to analyse these types of standards, present in dimensions pertaining to medicine. Are these configurations correct or are they arbitrary standards according to the mentioned association to Procrustean bed?
Human bodies are not the same nevertheless the functions of these bodies are exactly the same, from digestion, breathing, reproduction, excretion, blood circulation, nervous system, etc. Therefore, in this fallen world, we expect that a given organism has to do particular efforts to maintain the functions, according to laws established by our Creator. These efforts are not actually burdens to some extent, but harmonious and balanced endeavors for these working systems of our body, reminding us of the world we used to live in, and not in this decayed earth.
Many examples are at hand in regards to the types of ‘help’ that one can receive from magician-men, working as doctors. For example, a person with hypertension will soon become sicker of some heart failure and arthritis DUE TO certain pills taken. All details about the sick pharmaceutical drugs are now public, available on the internet, but most of us still keep taking them, turning sicker and sicker. The multitude of slogans and tricks led us into the acceptance of present ruling which states such cruel and invisible ‘healing’ paths.
Many people would be so happy to hear that equality with billionaires will be made lawful; so many secret healing processes will become then available for everyone!!! For sure, it is not about equality of souls, but that material equality to keep us going ‘well’ in this corrupted world, for a few more years… Well, we’ll be discovering that these secret curing attempts could be extremely demonic: the use of living babies for stem cells extraction, refreshing own blood through transfusions taken directly from unaware victims, all kinds of organ transplants taken from human beings who will be killed in the process, etc…
Better, let us try to stick to what is on offer for us. Recently we came across the fact that all medication for numerous sicknesses (from high blood pressure, to stomach ulcers) is at least inappropriate, leading to much worse effects. But the starting point in the new Procrustean bed was always a change done in the ‘theory’ related to medical practice. For instance, thirty something years ago, the systolic high blood pressure was considered to be really high, only from 180 units up. In other words, the number of sick people was much smaller, therefore drug companies couldn’t sell too much of their products. After the release of the ‘new’ presumption in regards to this given illness, suddenly so many new customers turned ready to buy the ‘new’ pills! And in a short time, pharmaceutical companies started to make, for instance, “beta-blockers” which are supposedly helping individuals who experience the mentioned medical conditions. Although a very quick search on net can identify so many reasons against such products… (http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/01/29/beta-blockers-death.aspx)
So we understood that the number of patients was not so great for the pharmaceutical industry, so they decided to lower the maximum of this particular measurement (as they did with other Procrustean ‘calculated’ amounts), for their own gain. On one hand, the ‘correct’ high blood pressure MUST be from 140/90 up, and in the same time all these pills are ready to be swallowed by millions, who would get their problems ‘fixed’ by the middleman – our modern doctor! This particular drug attacks the heart by forcing it to beat differently, to modify rates of blood passing through arteries. The consequence is that the heart struggles in these circumstances and it will get damaged, in time. Shortly, all palpitations, blood pressure variations, the pulse and the glycemic index are NOT produced by the heart, because they are rather determined by a variety of functioning organs, such as kidneys (filtering blood), liver (maintaining constant temperature, through blood vessels) or lungs (adding oxygen to the blood stream).
Discussing about ‘invisible factors’, sadness or stress could also influence particular organs which in turn will affect body systems, leading to abnormalities identified as a high blood pressure, for instance. Once again, if it is not the heart being sick, why they make pills attacking the heart? It is similar to what we are witnessing right now: a lesson done by an experienced psychology teacher, trying to present “Moral Developments” issues to students in a classroom. It was presented the theory of L. Kohlberg (showing ‘stages of moral development’) or rather moral dilemmas, we should say… The whole story was about the so called ‘tabula rasa’ (blank slate, in English) fairy-tale, which refers to any individual being born ‘free’ of any knowledge and understanding, and that information which is given will mark that person ‘morally’, as well.
Clearly, the ‘tabula rasa’ theory of modern times and all other pagan suppositions developed lately out of the rejection of the Teaching given by God Incarnate, Jesus Christ Himself! So this mentioned theory of ‘tabula rasa’ and the one ‘opposing’ the theory of blank slate (called ‘Innatism’, or inherited knowledge) are of the same kind, because both are … awful or incomplete! Historically, the first hypothesis of ‘tabula rasa’ was developed by Socrates and the ‘better’ theory of ‘Innatism’ was prepared by Plato. Plato also thought that there is a spiritual inheritance in man… Nowadays, after we all witnessed or came about the Truth and His Divine Church, hopefully the Path to Salvation being revealed to us, the devil tries to confuse everybody with these ‘new’ ideas, reshuffled, to play with people’s minds, souls and… health!
The Procrustean measurements done in such a sphere of interest, that is psychology, all calculations are deceptive and lead to wrong conclusions. Out of the realm of psychology the protection that would give to children while teaching moral issues was not mentioned. Good parental advices are always things like: “Do not plug your fingers into the power point” or “that sharp knife could injure you” and “don’t steal” or “don’t yell” and “don’t shove your colleague”. But the ‘perfect’ sick slaves must be also happy: “I’m having a certain medical condition, but you know, in the near future science will discover a method to fix the disorder; I just need to trust in these scientists who work so hard to establish the best medication!” No way!!!
Out of the worst (and deadly!) experiments done in the last fifty years by professional executioners, otherwise called physicians, one arrives into the mind very quickly: it is the story of organ transplants! Did you know that the concept of ‘brain death’ patient appeared in preparation to allow the removal of one’s heart while the ‘donor’ is still ALIVE, but dying in the process? The notion of ‘brain death’ appeared in various scientific magazines, just before the very first heart transplant, performed in 1967. ‘Brain death’ is nothing else than a state of coma, in spite of all arguments given by professional slayers – or doctors, if you still want to call in this way. Anyone can dispute the idea, for or against, but another fact is this: many with this ‘medical’ condition unexpectedly woke up of that ‘death’, telling you what they heard about the coming slaughter! To add more, we can say that the medical killer always administered anesthetics to that human being in a ‘brain death’ state, while removing certain un-pair organs, such as the liver or the heart…
Probably we need to end this by returning to the title: “Medicine is so ahead of its time that nobody is healthy anymore”. This is such a statement!!! For sure, there are still around these doctors who can help you to regain your temporary health, through some good treatments and more or less natural medicines. If we were customers, well, the only Heavenly Gathering having us as ‘customers’ is the Orthodox Church where we receive the Ultimate Medicine, the Holy Communion, in expectation of the Divine Realm where our future dwelling will be without pain or sorrow! Even the word ‘healthy’ will lose its meaning, for good.
