Fourth of July is my favorite holiday. For one, it takes place in the summer which is beautiful and much appreciated here in the northwest where it rains so often. Secondly, I treasure the concept of freedom. However, our collective and individual freedoms have been hindered this Fourth of July as we are no longer allowed to:
- Go in public without a mask on – which is certainly challenging for anyone with a lung or breathing issue but on a basic level, is a way to cover and suppress our throat chakra which represents our ability to speak up or speak out against anything whether that be mandatory vaccinations or anything that is not considered politically correct. In fact, isn’t it interesting that censorship is on the rise and freedom of speech is being threatened? David Icke was banned from Facebook and YouTube. Most of the truthtellers I follow on YouTube are either being demonetized or their streams are being messed with or their videos are being deleted or they’re being threatened with being kicked off YouTube or their subscribers are not being notified of their new videos or live streams. For those who have suffered trauma around the mouth, such as dental trauma or being gagged or being orally raped, having to wear a mask certainly activates a lot of trauma. However, if you dare to go around not wearing a mask, not only are you facing possible legal ramifications but you will also experience people giving you the evil eye, on a mild level, and screaming or talking down to you, on a more severe level. Sloan Bella, a truthteller I follow on YouTube, says that it’s going to be a civil war between the masks and the unmasks, between those who fight against and those who submit to the agenda of the sociopaths and psychopaths that rule this prison planet.
- Praise and worship in the physical presence of our spiritual communities which affects our spiritual health which in turn affects our mental and physical health and also strengthens the ability of the Satanists and Luciferian sects of the world to attack us, especially those they despise the most: Christians. “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” Matthew 18:20 NIV
Be with our older adults, who are already at risk of suffering from depression due to the marginalization and isolation inherent in that population. Older adults are more susceptible to the COVID19 virus. They are being quarantined in assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and hospitals where they may be forced to die alone.
- Celebrate with our friends and family whether that be celebrations of life (memorials, funerals, etc), holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, births and other opportunities to get together without fear of judgment from the strict rule followers that attack others on behalf of the establishment. Never mind the fact that we are social beings who, no matter how introverted we are, need social interaction for our survival. In fact, there were studies done where infant monkeys chose a wire mom monkey covered with terrycloth over a wire mom monkey with a bottle. There was also that very unethical study done by Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II in the 13th Century where infants were neglected to determine if they might develop a natural language on their own. Instead, those infants died from the lack of social interaction.
- Attend to our mental health, which affects physical health. Part of mental health is social interaction and I don’t mean through social media. In fact, there are studies that link increased screen time to increased depression and anxiety. Since the quarantine started, domestic violence is on the rise, drug and alcohol abuse is on the rise and so is depression and anxiety. Mental health professionals, such as myself, are booked up. More people are depressed to the point of being suicidal. Therefore, for some people, being isolated and quarantined isn’t keeping them alive, it’s literally killing their spirits. And a body without a spirit is a zombie, a narcissist or a sociopath, or a host to demonic entities. I suppose that is what some of us in power want us to be: any or all of those things. f
Some of my favorite memories in life are from the Fourth of July. I grew up in Tacoma, Washington and my siblings and I would ride our bikes down to the firework stand and buy as many fireworks as we could to save up for Independence Day. In those days, you couldn’t buy matches as a kid but you could buy fireworks. On the third of July, we’d go to Cheney Stadium where we would watch the local baseball team, the Tacoma Tigers who later became the Tacoma Rainiers, and then watch the fireworks show following the game. The next day, we would go to my grandmother’s house, who lived in Old Town Tacoma by the waterfront, every 4th of July. There would be a lot of food there to eat but we would also walk down to the Freedom Fair on the Tacoma Waterfront and buy food like elephant ears from the food vendors, buy goods from the artists and other vendors and enjoy the air show which consisted of the Blue Angels and supersonic jets that travelled faster than the speed of sound. After that, we’d walk back up to my grandmother’s house until it was dark at which time, we’d walk down to a hilly street called Carr Street, where we’d put down our blankets and watch the fireworks show.
So, for me, other than representing freedom, the Fourth of July also represented a chance to be around friends and family and have fun together. Now both freedom and celebrating with friends and family is being threatened. However, I’m a big believer in seeing the silver lining in everything. I am reminded of the scripture: “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.” – Genesis 50:20 NIV
As a Pisces, I tend to look at everything from a spiritual perspective. I just got done reading the book “Charmed by Darkness” by Roger Morneau, a Satanist turned Christian and spiritual warrior. I was struck by one passage in the book which inspired me to a write a song called “Eternal Freedom” in celebration of this Fourth of July. You can find the song at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juyXzome254
And here’s the passage that inspired me from Mr. Morneau’s book:
“Like a bird released from the snare of the fowler, springing forth in the direction of the sun with a sense of liberty that a freed captive alone could understand, so was my joy in the Lord and my realization of the fact that Jesus had put an end to my captivity to the spirits, and opened the way for my visiting many of His beautiful worlds in the galaxies, through the eternal age.”
