      Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by surprise, unexpectantly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death.
      While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the WW1, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes.
      Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way.
      It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......

      They are certainly still a very high-control cult. Most aspects of their life, and choices they make are directly influenced by the church. On top of that, If a member goes against church rules, other members are required to shun and avoid communicating with this member. That includes immediate family members in most cases.
      That being said, the people still seem extremely humble and somewhat content (whether or not they have a choice). It's been very interesting to see the inner workings of the amish community.

    Growing up in Ohio, I enjoyed taking quarterly trips out to "Amish country" to buy food items and such. During one trip, I was scared of a piece of artwork and an older Amish woman took notice. She gently drew my attention to something else and we had a wonderful conversation. As a young, black girl from the city, I always felt welcomed and "at-home" during my visits. This video brought back that nostalgia and a lovely reminder that I have no regrets teaching my own children to understand, appreciate, and learn from diverse cultures (especially sustainable living and Yah directed ancient paths).

I think when the bible was written they also used that moment to write about things they didn’t understand yet and just said that god did it (like evolution and Adam and Eve). They also wrote in rules of their society to try and manipulate people into thinking god was the one who said it so they should follow. The bible was also written 100s of years ago which gives plenty of time for stories to be warped and rewritten. For many years before the bible was written many of the stories were just word of mouth, people could easily of remembered details wrong.

    Much respect. Beyond the incredibly interesting view into these relatively closed off worlds, what you are doing is to humanize people within groups very few understand. Having travelled the world many times over (which comes with an understanding that we are all, essentially, the same, interested in safety for our families, a decent life and the essentials) whenever I came across a group like the Amish, I always thought that they looked down on us "the English (in this case)" with scorn and as sinners. Your videos have enlightened me to the fact that this couldn't be farther from the truth. They simply want to live their lives the way they want to, without interference from the outside world (although it is clear that it is becoming more and more difficult for the elders to hold back the sea of technology - hopefully they appreciate the good that social media can do with videos like yours). I may not understand their way of life but I respect it. Thank you for the work you are doing. I can only imagine how enlightening it is to actually be on the ground seeing all of this first hand. =)

      Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by surprise, unexpectantly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death.
      While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the WW1, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes.
      Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way.
      It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......

    I think it was one of Stefan Molyneux's videos that I watched on the benefits of having kids of different ages mixing. The one-room schoolhouse was standard for a very long time and all the kids would get out and have recess and lunch at the same time, too. Not like now, where it's only one or two classes of kids together at a time. He pointed out the benefits to kids to be mixed up by age. For one thing, older kids learn compassion because they have to be kinder to younger kids. For instance, throwing them a ball that's easy to hit or maybe giving them an extra turn or taking the time to teach them the rules and technique. And he told a story about himself when he was playing with some toy outside and some of the cool, older kids walked by and saw him and one asked, "Aren't you a little old to be playing with toys?" And he realized that yeah, maybe he was. So it was them who encouraged him to grow up and start on the path towards adulthood, rather than a parent nagging (which is what my mother did when I wouldn't give up my toys, LOL).
    If the Amish were to go to schools divided up more strictly by age, they probably wouldn't notice much of a difference because they have such large families, but in our world, that would make a huge difference because so many children are only children or maybe have one sibling, so there isn't interaction with kids of different ages.

    Love the videos and particularly the Amish series. I've been watching them as they come out. Great content about a culture I know very little about.

    This was so insightful. I'm glad the Amish fellows were willing to participate in this video. They were so approachable and friendly. Really a feel good sensation.
    God bless us all.

    Your interviews/videos are excellent. You are helping humans to understand one another and see commonalities rather than differences. Sorely needed in these current times. Keep doing what you’re doing.

    7:50 My mother went to school in NH in a one-room schoolhouse back in the late 40's. She said that the grades were in lines from front to back. The teacher would move her chair down the line to do the assignments. She said that by the time you hit the next grade level the next year, you've already heard and learned the next few grades anyway and readily absorb the materials.
    I love the Humphrey gas lights. We have those in a hunting camp. People think they're light bulbs if they're lit when they first walk in.
