- 0:18SPEAKER_00: of this will be out to everyone the gospel of thomas is for my paid subscribers
- 0:23SPEAKER_00: which i am up to 11 and i lost two from speaking my mind yesterday
- 0:27SPEAKER_00: so that's good i'm fine with that here we go 224 pages
- 0:34SPEAKER_00: two two four eight if you add it down i sat with that number before i ever opened
- 0:41SPEAKER_00: the report because that's how i read the world the numbers arrive before
- 0:46SPEAKER_00: the content does and they're never just decoration then i read what's actually in it
- 0:53SPEAKER_00: on june 26 a commission created by donald trump filled almost entirely
- 0:58SPEAKER_00: of conservatives christians released a 224 page draft report
- 1:04SPEAKER_00: it doesn't call for a wall between church and state it calls for a bridge
- 1:10SPEAKER_00: the report says the wall was never real was never what the founders meant was
- 1:16SPEAKER_00: a misleading misreading of jefferson that got out of hand it recommends
- 1:22SPEAKER_00: the department of justice fund lawsuits defending the ten commandments displays
- 1:26SPEAKER_00: in public school
- 1:28SPEAKER_00: it supports school chaplain programs it frames all
- 1:31SPEAKER_00: of this around religious liberty here's the problem and it's not subtle nearly
- 1:39SPEAKER_00: a third of american adults 29 percent per pew's most recent study which was 2023 of
- 1:48SPEAKER_00: the religious landscape are religiously unaffiliated among people under 30
- 1:55SPEAKER_00: that number climbs to nearly half
- 1:58SPEAKER_00: the commission's own report expresses virtually no concern for any
- 2:05SPEAKER_00: of them it doesn't address the growing share of americans
- 2:09SPEAKER_00: who don't practice any faith at all it starts from one assumption
- 2:14SPEAKER_00: and never questions it that christianity deserves the privileged seat
- 2:18SPEAKER_00: in american life and everyone else can find a folding chair
- 2:24SPEAKER_00: that's not neutrality that's not liberty that's favoritism wearing liberty's clothes
- 2:32SPEAKER_00: let's talk about originalist the report leans hard on originalism
- 2:39SPEAKER_00: which is what i have been taught teaching my students all year source go to
- 2:43SPEAKER_00: the source what did the founders really mean before it got corrupted
- 2:49SPEAKER_00: but here's what nobody defending this report wants to sit with
- 2:54SPEAKER_00: Public schools as we understand them did not meaningfully exist in 1776.
- 3:02SPEAKER_00: Compulsory tax funded public education did not take shape until the 1830s and 40s.
- 3:10SPEAKER_00: decades after the constitution was ratified whatever schooling existed before
- 3:15SPEAKER_00: that was mostly church run a congregation teaching its own children
- 3:21SPEAKER_00: in its own building and to its own kids and family who'd chosen
- 3:26SPEAKER_00: to live there it's not analogous analogous to a public school in 2026
- 3:34SPEAKER_00: serving every family in a district regardless of faith funded
- 3:38SPEAKER_00: by every taxpayer regardless of belief there is no original intent to appeal here
- 3:46SPEAKER_00: because the founders were never asked this question
- 3:49SPEAKER_00: the category didn't exist yet you cannot go back 250 years to men who were some
- 3:57SPEAKER_00: of them literally slave owners and ask them to settle a dispute about an institution
- 4:03SPEAKER_00: that came into being two generations after they died that's now let's talk about
- 4:11SPEAKER_00: where this fusion actually comes from because it's older than this report wants you
- 4:16SPEAKER_00: to know and worse than religious heritage popular history likes
- 4:23SPEAKER_00: to say constantine picked the bible's books at the council of nicaea
- 4:28SPEAKER_00: in 325 ce that's not quite right the real story is sharper nicaea wasn't about
- 4:37SPEAKER_00: the canon it was about doctrine
- 4:43SPEAKER_00: it was where the church under an emperor's authority for the sake
- 4:49SPEAKER_00: of imperial unity took a live contested theological argument
- 4:56SPEAKER_00: which was was jesus divine co-eternal with god or something else and settled it by
- 5:04SPEAKER_00: a boat enforced it and made disagreement with it heresy
- 5:12SPEAKER_00: that's the actual moment religious and religion and empire became one instrument
- 5:21SPEAKER_00: and mega is asking you to go back
- 5:23SPEAKER_00: to it not scripture selection power wielding belief to unify a state
- 5:34SPEAKER_00: which is what makes the 224 page report so recognizable
- 5:40SPEAKER_00: it isn't reaching for the actual ethical center of what Jesus taught in
- 5:46SPEAKER_00: the earliest layers of the gospel material radical inclusion of the poor
- 5:52SPEAKER_00: and unclean forgiveness over retribution suspicion of religious authority
- 5:59SPEAKER_00: who use doctrine to hoard power think about that for a minute
- 6:05SPEAKER_00: an outfit that wanted that would be organizing around care for migrants the sick
- 6:13SPEAKER_00: the indebted this report reaches for tablets and a doj litigation strategy law
- 6:23SPEAKER_00: and enforcement not love and inclusion that's the tell it's wearing
- 6:29SPEAKER_00: the name it isn't carrying the teaching of jesus
- 6:34SPEAKER_00: what i actually believe since you asked and since i never asked you not
- 6:40SPEAKER_00: to ask i don't think you need a book to access god i think
- 6:46SPEAKER_00: the doctrine any doctrine mine included is a finger pointing at the moon not
- 6:55SPEAKER_00: the moon itself i think every single one of us is a channel
- 7:03SPEAKER_00: whether we call it that or not and the parts of the scripture that still breathe are
- 7:09SPEAKER_00: the parts written by people doing exactly what i do at 3 a.m and what you could do
- 7:16SPEAKER_00: if anyone ever told you that you were allowed the difference between
- 7:21SPEAKER_00: a living practice and a cult isn't the presence of doctrine every tradition has some
- 7:29SPEAKER_00: the difference is whether the door stays open
- 7:34SPEAKER_00: whether you can disagree revise walk out with what you came for my work only works
- 7:42SPEAKER_00: if i keep pointing you back to your own source
- 7:51SPEAKER_00: doctrine turns into control
- 7:53SPEAKER_00: the moment someone freezes it and starts enforcing the freeze instead
- 7:59SPEAKER_00: sorry it starts enforcing the freeze with power instead of invitation hmm that's
- 8:06SPEAKER_00: the whole argument actually underneath the constitutional one underneath
- 8:11SPEAKER_00: the historical one this report wants to freeze one tradition's answer and back it up
- 8:18SPEAKER_00: with the machinery of the state religion is not supposed to need a badge and
- 8:26SPEAKER_00: a courtroom
- 8:28SPEAKER_00: if it does it has already stopped being religion and started being control
- 8:36SPEAKER_00: a word on
- 8:37SPEAKER_00: whose 10 commandments exactly before we go further this one's for you marla
- 8:44SPEAKER_00: before we go further the report frames the 10 commandments as neutral universal
- 8:51SPEAKER_00: and foundational it is none of those things
- 8:55SPEAKER_00: it's one tradition scripture drawn from exodus roughly 3 000 years ago and
- 9:01SPEAKER_00: the government wants to hang it on the wall of every public classroom in the country
- 9:08SPEAKER_00: as if every child's family shares it they don't the nations indigenous
- 9:15SPEAKER_00: to this land carried and still carry their own instructions for how to live
- 9:21SPEAKER_00: in right relationships
- 9:24SPEAKER_00: their own instructions for how to be with each other with the land and
- 9:31SPEAKER_00: with what's unseen different tribes different keepers different words but
- 9:38SPEAKER_00: the same shape underneath reciprocity respect responsibility
- 9:44SPEAKER_00: to seven generations forward and seven generations back
- 9:49SPEAKER_00: nobody in that 224 page report is proposing those teachings go on a schoolhouse wall
- 9:57SPEAKER_00: because this was never about religious liberty in general it was about
- 10:03SPEAKER_00: whose religion gets the badge in the courtroom native children
- 10:07SPEAKER_00: in this country were once taken from their families and beaten
- 10:12SPEAKER_00: for practicing exactly the kind of living instruction i'm talking about
- 10:17SPEAKER_00: in schools run by the same tradition this report wants to re-establish
- 10:23SPEAKER_00: that happened there is a federal paper trail sit with that before anyone tells you
- 10:30SPEAKER_00: the 10 commandments belong on a public wall
- 10:33SPEAKER_00: because they're just heritage now let's talk about the word bridges
- 10:41SPEAKER_00: because they don't get to have it
- 10:45SPEAKER_00: the report doesn't call for a wall between church and state it calls for
- 10:49SPEAKER_00: a bridge i want to sit with that word for a second because i've been using it
- 10:54SPEAKER_00: for years long before this report existed and i am not giving it to them
- 11:00SPEAKER_00: i call the people i work with bridge nodes that's the actual work bridging people
- 11:06SPEAKER_00: from unconsciousness to consciousness from a doctrine handed up to them to a knowing
- 11:13SPEAKER_00: that rises through them a bridge in my practice moves a person
- 11:18SPEAKER_00: toward their own direct relationship with source it doesn't move a government into
- 11:24SPEAKER_00: a classroom
- 11:25SPEAKER_00: those are opposite directions one is liberation one is
- 11:29SPEAKER_00: a takeover wearing liberation's word as a disguise so no they don't get bridges
- 11:37SPEAKER_00: that word already belongs to something it belongs to the work of moving people out
- 11:42SPEAKER_00: of frozen doctrine not further into it
- 11:45SPEAKER_00: if you catch language like this in the wild the old mechanism of control borrowing
- 11:51SPEAKER_00: the vocabulary
- 11:52SPEAKER_00: of awakening that's worth naming every single time you see it it's one of
- 11:58SPEAKER_00: the oldest tricks there is steal the word before anyone stops
- 12:04SPEAKER_00: to check what it's actually doing it's like what they're doing
- 12:07SPEAKER_00: with antifa right now antifa is not even an organization it stands for anti-fascist
- 12:13SPEAKER_00: and they've made antifa a terrorist organization it's not even an organization
- 12:18SPEAKER_00: so literally you would have to be a fascist in order to name antifa
- 12:24SPEAKER_00: a terrorist organization you do the math on that one okay and
- 12:30SPEAKER_00: while we're undoing borrowed authority let's talk about paul here's a fact
- 12:37SPEAKER_00: that should stop everyone reading this cold
- 12:41SPEAKER_00: the man whose writing shaped more of institutional christian doctrine
- 12:47SPEAKER_00: than anyone else sin salvation atonement the theology most churches still preach
- 12:54SPEAKER_00: from every sunday never met jesus not once not in life
- 13:04SPEAKER_00: his entire authority rests on a private vision he claimed happened
- 13:09SPEAKER_00: after jesus already died his letters are
- 13:13SPEAKER_00: the earliest christian writing we have predating even the gospels by a decade
- 13:19SPEAKER_00: or more which means the
- 13:24SPEAKER_00: most doctrinally dominant voice in what became christianity was a man building
- 13:30SPEAKER_00: an entire theological system from personal revelation layered on top
- 13:35SPEAKER_00: of secondhand story before anyone had ever written down what jesus reportedly said
- 13:42SPEAKER_00: and did
- 13:44SPEAKER_00: we built a global religions doctrinal skeleton on top of one man's interpretation
- 13:51SPEAKER_00: and then once his interpretation calcified into official teaching everything
- 13:56SPEAKER_00: that disagreed with it got buried literally buried in jars in a desert at nag hamadi
- 14:03SPEAKER_00: for close to 2 000 years
- 14:07SPEAKER_00: until 1945 the gospel of thomas the gospel of mary thunder perfect mind texts
- 14:14SPEAKER_00: that center direct knowing over institutional doctrine that show mary magdalene as
- 14:20SPEAKER_00: a spiritual authority resented and dismissed by the men around her that don't fit
- 14:25SPEAKER_00: the framework the surviving church needed in order to consolidate power
- 14:31SPEAKER_00: the feminine got left out of what it became the bible on purpose by people doing
- 14:37SPEAKER_00: the choosing over centuries and we built two major world religions christianity
- 14:44SPEAKER_00: and islam on the doctrinal skeleton that was left standing
- 14:50SPEAKER_00: after everything else got buried in the sand
- 14:54SPEAKER_00: that's not a side note that's the origin story
- 14:57SPEAKER_00: and you cannot understand what's wrong with a 224 page report trying
- 15:02SPEAKER_00: to put someone else's frozen doctrine back on the walls of your child's classroom
- 15:07SPEAKER_00: until you understand exactly how thoroughly manufactured curated and incomplete
- 15:13SPEAKER_00: that doctrine already was long before the report ever existed
- 15:19SPEAKER_00: here's the number that does that actually stopped me and here's what i did with
- 15:24SPEAKER_00: the indoctrination myself among adults under 30
- 15:31SPEAKER_00: in this country 45 percent have either left their childhood religion
- 15:36SPEAKER_00: or changed it entirely
- 15:39SPEAKER_00: most of them landed on unaffiliated that's not a fringe trend that's damn near half
- 15:46SPEAKER_00: a generation walking away
- 15:48SPEAKER_00: from what they were handed i was raised lutheran my father was raised mormon later
- 15:55SPEAKER_00: in his teenage years and it made so little sense to him that he became an atheist
- 16:01SPEAKER_00: and a scientist instead
- 16:05SPEAKER_00: and i don't actually think those two things god and science were ever supposed
- 16:12SPEAKER_00: to be separate i'd call myself a scientist and
- 16:15SPEAKER_00: a source-coded individual both i don't need somebody else's doctrine handed to me as
- 16:21SPEAKER_00: the only valid map and i never had but even growing up inside real doctrine
- 16:27SPEAKER_00: a real church a real sunday morning tradition i was touched by the same distortion
- 16:33SPEAKER_00: I grew up a fan of Jesus I am still a fan of Jesus I grew up a fan of Mary Magdalene
- 16:39SPEAKER_00: but somewhere underneath even before I understood why I also grew up
- 16:47SPEAKER_00: at some point judging her feeling some version of how dare we make so much
- 16:52SPEAKER_00: of her feeling some version of how dare we make so much of Mary mother Mary as well
- 16:58SPEAKER_00: like praying to her honoring her was somehow not allowed not the real prayer
- 17:04SPEAKER_00: a lesser stop on the way to the actual god what
- 17:09SPEAKER_00: the actual fuck was i thinking mother mary raised the men this entire report claims
- 17:16SPEAKER_00: to be defending the man this entire report claims to be defending
- 17:21SPEAKER_00: she and whoever raised him alongside her did it without crushing him into a category
- 17:28SPEAKER_00: without indoctrinating him into smallness and let him grow into
- 17:33SPEAKER_00: the fullest expression of himself and what he was that is not
- 17:39SPEAKER_00: a minor accomplishment especially in that day that is the whole ball game
- 17:45SPEAKER_00: and somewhere in the doctor and I inherited I was taught
- 17:48SPEAKER_00: without ever being told outright that she wasn't worth a prayer of her own
- 17:53SPEAKER_00: that Magdalene wasn't worth defending that the women closest to
- 17:58SPEAKER_00: the story were background not center no wonder we have trouble lifting each other up
- 18:04SPEAKER_00: no wonder women turn on women look at what we were handed
- 18:08SPEAKER_00: and told was sacred there is nothing about us in most of
- 18:13SPEAKER_00: that book not really not centered not honored and then we were taught to call
- 18:21SPEAKER_00: that absence holy and move on i'm done moving on from it i think a lot of us are
- 18:30SPEAKER_00: and while we are talking about what this country actually protects let us talk about
- 18:36SPEAKER_00: the kits over 400,000 rape kits in this country sat untested some for decades some
- 18:44SPEAKER_00: in warehouses some simply never sent to a lab at all
- 18:48SPEAKER_00: that number doesn't expire it doesn't matter that some
- 18:52SPEAKER_00: of it dates back years it happened it's documented and here's the part
- 18:57SPEAKER_00: that should make every one of us furious
- 19:00SPEAKER_00: DNA degrades over time and in most states the clock on the statute
- 19:05SPEAKER_00: of limitations kept running and the entire time those kits sat on a shelf
- 19:10SPEAKER_00: which means some unknown number
- 19:13SPEAKER_00: of those 400,000 cases are now permanently unprosecutable not because
- 19:19SPEAKER_00: the evidence didn't exist but because the system chose not to open it in time
- 19:26SPEAKER_00: that's not an accident that's what it looks like when
- 19:29SPEAKER_00: a country's judicial machinery quietly protects perpetrators through inaction and
- 19:36SPEAKER_00: then calls the outcome closure
- 19:39SPEAKER_00: put that next to what's happening right now with the epstein files
- 19:43SPEAKER_00: a federal judge ruling the doj in violation
- 19:46SPEAKER_00: of transparency law congress passed months
- 19:49SPEAKER_00: of stonewalling redactions specifically shielding names
- 19:54SPEAKER_00: in emails discussing trafficking girls as young as 14 put it next to a panel
- 19:59SPEAKER_00: of independent un human rights experts stating plainly that the scale and system
- 20:05SPEAKER_00: of what's already public
- 20:07SPEAKER_00: may meet the legal threshold for crimes against humanity.
- 20:12SPEAKER_00: That is the same rot in three different rooms.
- 20:18SPEAKER_00: a government that will fund 1.8 billion payout
- 20:21SPEAKER_00: for january 6 defendants including people convicted of assaulting police
- 20:26SPEAKER_00: while hundreds of thousands of rape kits sit untested and the two people
- 20:30SPEAKER_00: whose ice related killings this year remain uncharged this is not
- 20:35SPEAKER_00: a resourcing problem that is a stated set of priorities visible
- 20:42SPEAKER_00: in exactly what it does and doesn't get funded adjudicated and pursued
- 20:48SPEAKER_00: that's what warning label means this is the whole thesis of
- 20:52SPEAKER_00: that book rape culture isn't only the act it's the machinery around it
- 20:59SPEAKER_00: that decides quietly at every level whose harm gets investigated and
- 21:04SPEAKER_00: whose gets shelved
- 21:06SPEAKER_00: in lives in living rooms it sorry it lives in living rooms it lives
- 21:12SPEAKER_00: in courtrooms it lives in a 224 page government report that thinks talking
- 21:17SPEAKER_00: about religious liberty while defending exactly the kind of unaccountable power
- 21:23SPEAKER_00: and lets all of this keep happening name it say it out loud and
- 21:29SPEAKER_00: then say no more one more thing and then i'll let you go
- 21:36SPEAKER_00: a patriot is not someone who is loyal to a man a party or a doctrine
- 21:43SPEAKER_00: a patriot is someone who upholds our constitution that is not my opinion that's
- 21:49SPEAKER_00: the literal text of the oath of every office holder in our government
- 21:58SPEAKER_00: so here's what i'd say directly if he were listening which he isn't
- 22:06SPEAKER_00: but you are being a patriot would mean upholding
- 22:11SPEAKER_00: the constitution you are actively dismantling not defending it selectively not
- 22:18SPEAKER_00: funding accountability for your own people while denying it to people
- 22:22SPEAKER_00: who have decided you've decided are disposable the receipts are already public
- 22:31SPEAKER_00: history keeps better records than any of us will ever need to
- 22:39SPEAKER_00: today is day six
- 22:41SPEAKER_00: in abundance for all and as we look at that we need to remember what
- 22:46SPEAKER_00: the indoctrination around this nation is actually trying to create in
- 22:53SPEAKER_00: the quantum field organizing around us and make sure that we are an active denier
- 22:59SPEAKER_00: of it
- 23:01SPEAKER_00: we will not allow our waters to be coated with more
- 23:05SPEAKER_00: of your indoctrination we will not allow the mother to be raped anymore we know
- 23:13SPEAKER_00: that abundance is not a skin color but an attitude that comes from within us
- 23:18SPEAKER_00: and something we create when we walk it together so today the reason why the writing
- 23:26SPEAKER_00: and then the paid section when you go in to read this
- 23:30SPEAKER_00: will be the gospel of thomas that is for this week loggy on 13
- 23:37SPEAKER_00: which will make more sense to those of you who are paid subscribers so if you want
- 23:41SPEAKER_00: to be in on more of the conversation it's simply eight dollars a month
- 23:47SPEAKER_00: to help support this work in a different way so peace and spiral blessings
- 23:54SPEAKER_00: abundance is your birthright abundance is my birthright
- 23:58SPEAKER_00: and no one i mean no one is going to stop us from creating that world around us now
