How the hell would she know
An inspiring interview with a wonderful solarpunk artist. Thanks for sharing :)
Another ideolog posing as an Academic. Talks utter crap.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful, thoughtful and inspiring conversation! It was a real pleasure to listen to it! And thank you also for the quote at the end of this video: it simply speaks out of my heart and soul! Anna 🌺
I'm confused. Why did Jesus have secret teachings? I believe I heard her or someone say that the gnostic gospels or ones in the dead sea scrolls say that he taught the masses parables to confuse them, while teaching his disciples or students the secret teachings. Why would he want to confuse the masses while teaching only some people the secret teachings? Why teach the masses at all if you're just going to confuse them? What was the point of that?
@@miguelpais123 Yeah but what was the purpose of confusing the masses? Why teach them in the first place if he was not really teaching them but confusing them instead? Why not just teach the same thing to everyone, and let those that are ready for it hear it, and for those that aren't let it fall upon deaf ears?
The whole bible confuses the masses if you thinl about it
In the canonical gospel, Jesus will use the phrase ye with ears here. We all have ears, of course… But he is not meaning physical ears. People will not be able to comprehend some of his esoteric teachings. That is why he had to teach in parables to some, but while he was with his disciples he could speak spiritually. I personally believe the gnostic gospels is where he taught some of his mysticism as some may call it. It is not for everyone to understand. Only those with spiritual ears to hear.
@@cs21uncc I'm pretty sure I heard her say in one video that it says in one of the teachings of Jesus, may have been one of the gnostic gospels not sure, that he spoke in parable to confuse people. That is why I asked the question because I thought she read in his teachings somewhere that he did indeed do it to confuse the masses. I was watching her vids, and Billy Carson's vids at the time, and I know it was one of the two that said it, and I'm thinking it was her. I would just like to know where he says that, and why he would say that if he had an actual reason for confusing the masses. Personally I think his teachings are easier to understand when they're not in parables.
Imagine if you will, the richest man on earth throwing a party where everyone is free to come. You have provided gifts for everyone and those gifts include a gold watch, a brand new sports car, a deed to a beautiful house on a golden sandy beach. You have so much to give everyone that it has taken you an eternity to prepare for the party and to set things upon perfectly to please everyone. Then you see the a great many people despise you and don’t like you at all, some of them hate you and would even k-ll you because you don’t speak or think or look as they do. So you make a plan to invite everyone to the party, but create a puzzle for them to solve. Those who are really interested in you and want to be with you try very hard to solve the puzzle and because they admire and respect you, they clammer for information that will help them get closer to you, and those who persevere and see the great things that you have prepared for them and how wonderful your heart is for making such a party filled with benefits that you have only dreamed of, and so they ask you questions. They learn about you and see that your offer has one requirement for them to be able to attend the event, and that requirement is to truly value you and want to be with you out of respect and to have no intention of bluffing their way in just to grab everything you offer and to leave showing no gratitude. So, you advertise the offer to attend the party and you provide a puzzle that would make it possible for only truly interested and caring individuals to attend. The people that you know care about you also receive the invitation, but you help them understand the conditions of the puzzle, but even so, to be sure of them being really caring of you, you make it necessary for them to study the puzzle closely and carefully in order to weed out any cheaters. You want everyone to come to the party, but you know that many of them would abuse your offer and your friendship. Only those that really care for you will complete the puzzle, and many more will try even harder to solve the puzzle when they realise that one the party begins, the door will be closed and entry is barred. The puzzle is crafted to enable only certain types of people who have good intentions to solve it, and even then, you allow millennia to pass in order to be fair to all. We all need to solve the puzzle and gain entry to the party, that just so happens to be a wedding party. How much time will pass and how many people will work hard enough and dedicate themselves to finding the solution to the puzzle is not known to us, but by giving ourselves fully to the task, we show our true intentions. He gave us the answers and that’s why we are here trying to solve the puzzle. We just need to look in the right place for the answers. Inside and outside. The Kingdom is within us and outside us. When the 2 become 1 we shall say to the mountain, move, and it will move! 🖖👀
When say she will anything ? Deaf when spoke plain pretend to hear blind pretend to see unknown pretend to be known what is a false prophet these days if not self proclaimed people proclaimed arrogant jackasses running mouth pretending to understand deceive self and others injust self and others unknown to self pretend to be known to the all.ans sure as hell no man of understanding not even a man
I thank Elaina Pagels for her study of the Gnosti Gospel and her own story, Why Religion. Wonderful Wonderful scholar. Her studies have guided my heart to dig deeper. I have found the Light that will dwell in my heart forever.
Yes, it is called *multi-dimensional unix permissions.* A person like myself, a resident of New Zealand, should not necessarily *need to know* about Matt Gaetz. Well I do know as it happens, but it's not required that I know.
Her upcoming book sounds fascinating. I'm anticipating its release!

Wow it's such a privilege to leave my comment here as the first one! I've been waiting months and months for a video update from Tracey but sadly nothing coming up until this interview popped up in the list. I am so grateful for having Tracey's encouragement in my life to guide me through a lot of things. Thanks a million!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much

Women destroy everything they touch. They want all the benefits without any of the responsibilities, let alone an ounce of accountability. When a feminist says they wnt equality, they really want special treatment and more rights than men. #NeverBelieveWomen
Great work. Meagan keep it up.

Thank you for creating this podcast series- I very much enjoy the earnest and insightful conversations with the guests.
Thank you - it means a lot to me & the team!
So inspiring to hear your journey! Every day I learn something new - and I loved how open and candid you were. I really liked the story where you asked one of your students to “yell” out to the server about how good the food was. A part of me is also inspired to ask you for help in being more assertive in my life! 😅 Thanks for sharing this podcast! :)
Thank you so much for your comment and totally agree with you .Sara Jane Ho is such an inspiration ;)
