Heavy Things Lightly
США
Добавлен 11 июн 2013
This “Enlightened” New World utopia isn’t turning out to be all it was cracked up to be. Society is disenchanting, but are the only alternatives hiding out in the hills or burying yourself in books? With an air of levity and a touch of humor, John Heers teaches how to examine the confusing New World by calling upon the mind and wisdom of oft-forgotten Old. Heavy Things, Lightly.

Why is your dog in a stroller? Pet mania and the New World
Pets in prams. Cats in specialized plastic comfort domes on wheels. Dogs on ADHD medicine. Today we take a journey into the absurd. To the far reaches of pet ownerdom, where there is no conveyance too fancy, no medication too specialized, no diagnosis left unexplored. Welcome to part 1 of a 3 part series where I tackle the pet mania. Is this unprecedented? What is the history of pet ownership look like? And what does it all mean?

Jews won't charge each other interest but they'll charge everybody else won't they this is why the Kings one of them out of their f****** lands this is why other countries chase them out of their countries
Sadly, the religion of Statism has distracted the many from #OneCreatorGod.
9:30 see: Warren Mosler - The Natural Rate of Interest Is Zero
When you align yourself with God and fight selflessly for what is right and upstanding and moral you make yourself a target for the demonic. Its part of it but dont let it deter you because you have the omnipotent protection and love of God on your side and demins are no match for that!
You said `none hates lending at interest more than Christianity' 1:53 I'd beg to differ. Here are a few verses from the Quran about it that might change your opinion: "Those who devour usury (riba) shall not rise again except as he rises, whom Satan of the touch prostrates; that is because they say, 'Trade is like usury (riba).' God has permitted trade, and forbidden usury (riba). ... give up the usury (riba) that is outstanding, if you are believers. But if you do not, then take notice that God shall war with you, and His Messenger; yet if you repent, you shall have your principal, unwronging and unwronged. ... " 2:275-2:280 It was narrated that Jaabir said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) cursed the one who consumes riba and the one who pays it, the one who writes it down and the two who witness it, and he said: they are all the same. Narrated by Muslim (1598). “From al-Bara bin ‘Aazib from the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) It was narrated that Jaabir said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) cursed the one who consumes riba and the one who pays it, the one who writes it down and the two who witness it, and he said: they are all the same. Narrated by Muslim (1598). ‘Riba (interest) has seventy-two levels; the lowest form is like a man having intercourse with his mother... "

The drunken degenerate warmonger Churchill admitted in his biography/memoirs that the REAL REASON Uncle Adolph HAD to be destroyed was because he dared to bypass the International BANXSTRZ by issuing the Interest free Deutsch marks that propelled Germany to Prosperity !
The Constitution empowers the Congress to "mint coin and currency & set the value thereof" and they've Abdicated their Obligation to provide this critical function. The original Colonies created their own script and the Colonies flourished !$
Old Ben Franklin even went so far as to say it was the principle cause of the American Revolution as opposed to the claim that the main cause was "Taxation without Representation". Notice the switch in the History Books kids get taught in school? In 1979-80, I was an AP History student in high school trying to figure out why the creation of the First & Second Central Banks chartered by the US Congress in the early years of the Republic were so controversial. It was a mystery. I finally got the answer when I got into my late 50's. It turns out the Bank of England (chartered in the 1690's) was directing King George III to force the American Colonies to get rid of their script and only borrow from the BOE. So, that would explain why Central Banks were so controversial, we fought arguably two wars with England over their establishment in the USA.
Blame it on the ancient Egyptians. Didn’t they worship cats?
This was a total joy to watch, I’ve been listening to Joe Pug since I was in highschool and he’s had a huge influence on my music taste and writing interests over the years. As a songwriter and recent convert to Orthodoxy this ticked every box for me. Thanks John!
I'm up to 30 minutes, and it's so great how personal both of you were able to be. Thank you!
This video should be viral. The content epitomises why everyone in the West is getting poorer by the day.
Is it somehow impossible that a mystically morphin spiral participates with and by A Platonic Cosmic Mind with whatever all "alien" faerie business between? You're right to reject the crypto-nihilism of materialist redux view. That's a deficit unto defect, and look how unhappy Richard Dawkins seems to be. However, a dreaming Cosmic Mind seems...kinda obvious. It's obvious to me. We're at a very low-res/crudely representation level of it (due to The Fall, Luciferian experiment of our own making and oversight), and it becomes more awake, vibrant, and clear...All this heavy mysticism and occult stuff seems like lost common sense after one integrates another puzzle piece. Human hamartiology and psychology/sociology is more of a enigma/lock than any of the most fantastical spiritual axioms.
We need episode 2 right now!
The worst kind of dog person is the "extremely defensive Karen who owns a pit bull and constantly makes sure everyone knows she owns a pit bull through means including but not limited to snarky, aggressive bumper stickers on her Kia or Hyundai crossover SUV." And it's always the ugliest, trashiest-looking murder-dog you can think of. There's some sort of pathology going on here that deserves to be studied, and is probably closely related to, if not identical to, the same impulse inspiring Karen to march holding a "Refugees Welcome" sign and loudly proclaim how much better her Midwestern town is now that it has been infested by Somali thugs.
If you think this is insane, have you heard of the people that have freakishly realistic baby dolls that they care for as if they were real babies? I haven’t looked into it much, but maybe you can do the research for us!
I assume that's very niche. the fact this "treat pets as human" thing is a wide spread global phenomenon makes it very interesting. I see it where I live and it makes me roll my eyes
I love pets... especially dogs. But I don't really understand the pet craze, unless you are an old person with no children in the house. Even then it needs limitations. Pets have been an interesting conversation this past year. My wife's family is quite close to their pets, and at the time (late dating, mid engagement stage) she had a lovebird and a little street dog, both 15 years old. Both died this year, the bird dying actually the weekend that Jonathan Pageau and Fr. Maximos Constas visited our Parish. I think pets are very important because they remind us of death, but there's a huge temptation to let our affection for pets rob us of life.
I thought I was the only one that noticed this. I find this video nearly unbearable I’m going to try and see it through. ☦️
@@kevwatski3351 good luck! How did it go lol
Lord have mercy. I live in a major city where I see this all the time now. My wife and I have four children with one on the way. We’re seen as the weirdos. But dogs in strollers are wonderful.
It’s such a good example of the upside down world. And it’s weird because these stroller folks have like giant hearts for living things… except maybe for human living things?
I love pugs. Lol
Who doesn’t! But also… should your pug wear a dress and have an iPhone holder in his stroller?
Had to come here from the podcast. I don’t see the problem. Call me when the bubble boy is hauling a stroller with his horse on it.
Stop. You are scaring me
Me me me ... can't take the cool man schtich . Yeah, God be praised for the foundations work. Yes, great to see Orthodox with a social conscience. But ....
Thank you for the stroller recommendations. I'm looking for one that is suitable for walking my 5 new babies in the mall
Pentuplets???? That's incredible.
Lol Oh dear.... poor us
So again with you! Lord have mercy!
In a secularised society people's attention and affections (affectations) have to go somewhere. No nappy's, no school fees etc just cutesy wootsey doggy woggy fluffiness...70% of households in Ireland now have a pet - it's out of control and the animal rescue services cannot keep up with the tsunami of abandoned animals. Don't get me started on the dog poop bags.. Keira and Sorcha with ponytails a waggling Striding up Ticknock with their Lycra arses saggling Have little fluffy labradoodles dying for a crap They bend and scoop it into a green plastic wrap Look once then twice And drop it by a rock Or swirl and whirl into the little babbling brook…
This is your best work yet. Can't wait to see where you take it. Also, I have no respect for anyone who relates to their pet this way. 😂
But their cat has their own see through mobile home! It’s true love!
I think I'm going to enjoy this 3-parter. I love dogs, but hate the whole "animal parent" trend. It feels misanthropic.
Kind of makes me happy that eventually God puts a match to it all.
1:02:57 I'm trying to be generous but this is the worst take on the war I've ever heard. No mention of America overthrowing Ukraine's government, banning Russian language, promoting sodomy, DPR LPR declaring independence, civil war for 8 years, setting up para-synagogue "Ukrainian Church" with defrocked clergy, arresting real priests and bishops and sequestering churches, closing down monasteries like the Kiev Caves, stealing relics for "scientific analysis", banning the true church in the whole country, depriving the faithful of the mysteries and persecuting them. All he has to say is that he hates Putin. I'm sorry but sounds like standard boomer-speak.
I swear this episode is making me laugh and groan out loud!
It made me feel yucky until I decided it was just going to be light things for 30 mins! Much love!
@johnheers6220 Ha ha! Okay, I admit that I am a cat owner of Charlie, the bestest boy kitty in the whole world. But I would never, ever dream of buying him a stroller much less putting/wrestling him into any kind of carrier since he turns into psycho exorcist nut job kitty. Not a pretty sight.
This light world is in a steep nose dive
So you think it ends with like a doggy matrix? Somehow we all live in a manufactured world controlled by cocker spaniels?
about time someone said it! People replace God with Dog...which is God backwards!! BOOOM!
Daaaaaang! Mic drop!
I'm with you
Seeing all the "dog parents" around now is so sad. My wife thinks I'm mean/crazy for not allowing such language/behavior in our house with our dogs. I'm not sure they're an object of worship in place of God, though. It seems to be almost exclusively childless women and empty nester couples with no local grandkids engaging in this, so clearly broken brains looking for stand-ins for the children they're supposed to have, no?
I'm a dog groomer and it is INSANE the things I hear and see people do for and to and around pets.
That’s the next pod! We should talk about what you see but then you might see it anymore because the pet mafia will ruin you. PS: I love dogs!
@johnheers6220 ugh. I try so hard not to say "pet parent" because it's not the right verbiage but it's used so often that it just becomes part of my language!
I hate to say but groomers are a little part of the problem.
@behindenemylines3149 Dogs need hair cuts. So, I'm not sure what you mean. I've seen people try to do it. They suck at it... it doesn't have to be "cute," but it is nice to have a cohesive haircut, clean and healthy skin and hair, well trimmed nails, etc. We have to take care of animals, but it's the boundaries that we cross making the animals our "babies."
Amen and amen. Beautiful. My journey to Orthodoxy over the past year has so mirrored yours, Martin. Thank you for sharing your journey. Keep it up! May God continue to bless you.
Tucker; The demon is trying to possess you. You must repent to God for any sins that have allowed it. Google the track" "How To Have Peace With God" & get saved theres a salvation prayer at the end. If you feel a bad presence say out loud- I Bind All evil spirits in the Blood of Jesus & I Command You in The Name of Jesus to GET OUT NOW! May My Lord Jesus Christ Rebuke you so you Cant come back! OUT NOW! Relax & go about your business & expect JC to Act. You can cut down the command to I Bind You In The Blood Of Jesus Get Out now! Stay in prayer & the word everyday. Cleanse your house of demonic stuff- Google lists. GBU! ❤
The Defense Ministry's video - "Мы Русские с Нами Бог!" 1:15 long is suitable for your conversation. But I don't remember the timestamp
Amazing guest and amazing conversation. Thank you for this
Great discussion with some interesting perspectives. Good to see more Orthodox Christians involved in high level cinematic storytelling like the Christianities documentary and this Sovereign State series. What do you think about the American Orthodox film project?
Tell me more!
You know ... Judaism has always been okay with usury 😏.
A true Tamada
incredible episode!!!
29:04 God bless. My father was murdered by the tyrannical medical system in 2020 due to the hospital ventilating him via his trachea. He was kept on the ventilator for over a month and it destroyed his health to the point of no return. He had a heart attack due to his declining health after a very serious car crash before all of that. Needless to say, when I eventually joined GOARCH, the priest not only dismissed my concerns and pain of heart, but he fully supports the stabby, globalist “climate change” bs, and gave no catechisms when I was baptized. The entire parish had a delayed reaction in accepting me at all. I never once hated them, was I upset, of course, I’m human. But the lack of empathy and compassion eventually burnt me out and I lovingly was accepted into ROCOR. I will never stop having faith, hope, and love. This message isn’t one of condemnation, it is a call to loving arms. God bless.
Usury sounds exactly like insurance.
I really like the 1975 hat. Does it mean something? 35:33 How is ferederation similar to empire? 46:11 So, Pavel assumes that that wars are similar to growing pains? And in that case unavoidable?
30:31 a full submission to ruling power or giving up on personal freedom is not the same as delegating to the group of executives the right to be at the steering wheel in favor of shared well-being for a period of time. This is what Russians do not know. You choose trusted individual(s), leaders, you let them work on your behalf behalf and you can change them if they deviate from the plan.
