    I used to long to be an intellectual. 😉 UNFORTUNATELY my family was very quiet, we stuck with the basics, and never were into having debates and discussions. So I've always been the kind of person who struggled (and generally failed miserably) to see the Forest for the Trees! Luckily, GOD has blessed me with a certain gift for writing, in particular poetry. Anyway, I do love C.S.LEWIS,. But once I became an official ENGLISH MAJOR, ;) I tried to read him with a certain distance and critical eye, which would last for about a minute at most!!! But then I always get totally drawn in to the story, and that's it. So much for critical distance!!! Anyway, Thank God for CS LEWIS! And thank you to Alister and all those involved here. 😀 GOD BLESS YOU!

    Hi Paul, sorry about that - after a little investigation it appears that the format we downloaded the video from UStream is not compatible with iPads. However, with some tests inhouse, it does seem to work in its embedded form on our website for iPads. I've put the shortlink to its location in the video description.

    It was not Lewis that led me to Christ, but rather Christ that led me to Lewis. I had been a believer in that "Something" from a very early age; but I did not know what that something was.
    I had the great misfortune of reading Mark Twain's “Letters from the Earth” at the age of twelve or so. And as might be expected from a twelve year old mind, began to question the existence of God. The idea of there not being a God bothered me greatly, but I did not know why.
    I told my mother about my new position on the matter, the fact that I no longer believed in God, and she simply replied: “You will,” and that was the end of our discussion.
    Now, we had a rather large family library from where I had found Twain's little discourse in the first place. I would spend hours staring at each of the book titles in an attempt to “decode” them. There's were titles such as “The Problem With Advertising” from my father's MBA program and I really, really wanted to know what the problem was but had no idea what advertising was. I tried to read a few chapters just see if I could understand the problem but never discovered what adverting was or where the “problem” lay. I suffer from Asperger's Syndrome (now categorized as High Functioning Autism). And for me, reading is a supreme struggle. But Twain's work in “Letters” was, for better or for worse, something I could grasp; albeit very slowly, and along with MAD Magazine and Archie comic strips, “Letters” helped me develop my reading skills.
    But something just didn't feel right in the “Letters” aphotic rhetoric. Something was “Off” - way off.
    Then I soon happened upon a little book titled “The Great Divorce” and thought I would give it a look. It was my first exposure to Lewis. It is a simple book, but I struggled with Lewis's cadence. But I knew that there was something beautiful being presented in “The Great Divorce” that could wash away the ideas ingrained in “Letters.”
    I read and reread each book and measured one against the other. The scale favored “Divorce” by a nearly imperceptible “Unit;” but that Unit in itself is beyond measure.
    Over the years, since the first readings of the these two diametrically opposed books, I have become a devoted pupil of Lewis, as well as the other great Christian writers, and my Faith in God the Father, Christ His only begotten Son and the Holy Ghost prevails.
    I can thank Twain for helping me learn to read and I,again, I can thank Twain, more recently, for influencing me to “pick up the pen.” It was from reading Twain's short “Political Economy” a few years back - one of the funniest pieces I've ever read - that I began to write.
    I can thank Lewis for removing Twain's aphotic Words in “Letters” from my soul.

    The GODHEAD, plural but singular.
    Genesis 1:26)
    "And God said, Let us make man in our image,
    after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the
    fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over
    the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping
    thing that creepeth upon the earth."
    [The word GOD here is 'ELOHIM', plural - yet singular.]
    Deuteronomy 6:4) Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is
    one LORD: [God = Elohim; and yet ONE LORD]
    Acts 17:29)
    "Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God,
    we ought not to think that the GODHEAD is like unto gold,
    or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device."
    Romans 1:20)
    "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world
    are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made,
    even his eternal power and GODHEAD; so that they
    are without excuse:"
    [The GODHEAD includes the SON]
    Colossians 2:9) For in him dwelleth all the fulness of
    the GODHEAD bodily.
    As a man, Jesus Christ died as SERVANT of THE LORD.
    He was not a man only, though...
    Isaiah 9:6)
    "For unto us a child is born, unto us a SON is given: and
    the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name
    shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The MIGHTY GOD,
    The EVERLASTING FATHER, The Prince of Peace."
    Jeremiah 23:5,6 below...
    "Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise
    unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and
    prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
    In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely:
    and this is his name whereby he shall be called,
    THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS."
    [Here in Jeremiah, he's a branch from David, a king, and he
    will be called THE LORD TSIDKENU - God's name and Righteous]
    John 1:1-4 below...
    "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
    and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.
    All things were made by him; and without him was not any
    thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was
    the light of men."
    and John 1:10, and 14 below...
    "He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the
    world knew him not. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt
    among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only
    begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."
    Don't be unbelieving, but believing...
    Hebrews 1:1-14 below...
    "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time
    past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days
    spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all
    things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the
    brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person,
    and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had
    by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the
    Majesty on high; Being made so much better than the angels, as
    he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
    For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son,
    this day have I begotten thee?
    And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
    And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world,
    he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
    And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his
    ministers a flame of fire.
    But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever:
    a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
    Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God,
    even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness
    above thy fellows.
    And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth;
    and the heavens are the works of thine hands: They shall perish;
    but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
    And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed:
    but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
    But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my
    right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not
    all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall
    be heirs of salvation?"
    [Please look at this slowly and clearly]

    Lewis said of his christian belief that it was not intellectual but emotional and faith based, not logical. I know because I just watched an amazing video where he talks about his life. Obviously intelegent, well spoken, a natural entertainer and most interesting but his faith, however strong was first just that, faith. The bible is terrible history, inconsistent morality but as literature is up there with the other classics and religious texts and that was Lewis a man of letters.

    Why are you selling stuff, this shouldn't be a sales pitch. At time 09:12 I touched you on the shower. On the right shoulder from my point of view, I'm in technology. At time 09:24 i touched you again on the shoulder, did you feel the presents of the light? I kept touching you that is why you started moving. Time 12:45 = That is what the wrote that is what is important. Judge look at the past comments i have made with the videos atachd. This part is meant for me. Someone snapped their fingers in front of my eyes, please. You are judging me because I'm creative. 13:07 until 13:18, God is talking to me to all of us and saying. Don't be afraid of this new way. Accept and try to see it for yourself. The next evolution is here. Technology will rule the world. Or robots will destroy us. We shouldn't give them legs, feet and arms. That is how we find god trapt on earth. We are to evolve for him to kill us all at once. So he will bring down his army through technology. But I don't know which god this is. It might be Lucifer or God, even in the creator i believe. I believe another part of me is communicating through the universe to me. Saying that we are not ready to meet the Gods. For gods we are but as gods we are not. Pleas leave me a comment. I need to change the world and i just need one comment. One wish one star. One said that says i can shine. So who wants to change the world with me. Leave me a comment and i will let you know what i watch next. To see what gods says to us. Some one is hiding on the moon i just received a message from a above. Imagen the history of this two worlds, the moon and earth, or as i call earth, hell. And we just so different looking that we can't accept eachothere. For one have power and the other ones have technology. But technology is no match for magic. We all now about magic and how real it is. I have seen it, i have seen the creatures in the night. I saw their half faces i saw magic growing from the earth. I saw creatures in the door. Moving and dancing. I saw licht falling from the sky in my eye. I bacteria it was, i saw it giving me the side to see all creatures. I was gifted with the seith. I felt a wich, channelling my fingers to see if i can play piano. I could, like i did in the past, for I'm dum, i forget the past. Amen i dare not say, for fear i feel. But i belive in god and the engels he has. Im here representing Nature, the stars, the watchers, the witches, the engels and devils. The mayas and aliens i call creatures. For magic i saw i magic i want to see again. The codes on the wall. The images in the licht. I miss it all. God if you get this message, I'm coming for you, i will find you. 30:31 continue watching, god is gonna answer on what i wrote before this timestamp. Listen to the change, the body, the eyes. Look at all languages. 31:15 an angel just told us why im looking for god. It spoke trough the guy that is speaking. Now you know why im looking for god, why i want to change this world. Because they are other creatures here in hell and they are trying to communicate with us. Im here send by god to change the language of this world. For we are reading the words wrong. Give me a word in the comment and i will tell you something about it. OMG and alien spoke to me, you can hear it in seconds 33:00, where he says something to me but i dont understand it. But i speak that language to, i spook it in the hospital where i was. Where i met a woman that told me that she is forst to lour people in so they can steel their skin. So that they can be with us. Im getting blocked right now i need to watch more. Lets see what i will catch next. At minute: 34:03 someone is talking back to me, and realising that i want to change the world. That is why his tone changed because we are having discussions trough my mind. At minute 34:31 i whispered to the man who is telling a story, Looked at me. And he heard me, then he noticed me. He couldn't look at me. He started choking like he was on the spotlight. This little angel, devil or god sees me back. That means i can talk to him. Please come and observe me with cameras. So we can find out the truth about who is hiding in technology. Until minute 35:19 the creature explained to me that i have different eyes. That is how i see them, you can call it in the past. = for the judge 25/09/2022 16:57 Lord of the rings he is watching the first one to Leo. I said to him i talk to the computer, do you mind. And he said no. So it's not strange because he is okay with it. Somewhere it has been accepted somehow first. God just told me that you all hear a different story, pleas tell me what you think so far. That is how i know how far I'm in the future. Im Louse, Louse is me. Im a creator just like he is. So this man is pressing me actually. I was about to look for a job but someone said i should continue writing because what im doing is dangorouse and i should be destroyed. I think a devil is talking to me right now. Im Louse from that point when i said im Louse. Now im not Louse anymore. An angel was talking to me that is how i know not to be Louse anymore. But now god was talking and saying i should absorb my surrounding. That means understanding it. So we all need to talk not just me. Im looking for the one who can change my mind. We need to be respectful all. Why are animals so important to this earth. They are balanced. Why are we killing and torturing balance? Why are we all such devils. How can we rise again if we are devils. Why dont we want to be better. Why are we so filed with lust and desire. We devils, fallen angels. We are gods and we kill other gods. For an elephant is a god to an ant. So we are god to an ant. And ant is a god to us, because we see them but we are not them. We are one organism and we should learn from each other. OMG i saw a video where a kid was building a brig a mini version. And it was buld a above a river. And i thought that will be good for ants. They can cross safely. That is what we should do for animals of all kind. Buld for them so we might see them as gods exactly like us. For they rule in Nature like we rule in Hell. Judge if you chose a video that you are meant to watch and let me watch it with you maby i can see what god is saying to you. I make sens of things like emotions. Thinking and reading at the same time. I need to drink a coffee so i can speak for mother Earth. I cant belive you left the break in the video. Im amazed. We all need to take a dip breath nature is saying. Does anyone need to pee. Let's do that. We need some music. Music is life. At minute - 1:15:50 im Louse again 1:16:33 He started speaking about giants. That was my signal from the creature that i should stop being Louse now. Because i belive in giant, they real they different creatures. We might learn something from them if we accept them. 1:17:40 Humanity is corupted. I want to end it by giving everyone what they want. Yeah i must warn you. The future i see might be the end of the world. Because i saw an image where the world was burning. 1:24:22 The creator is talking about us. We are all children of something, parents we are. 1:32:22 The creator is explaining what i can be. What you can be what we all are. For we have fallen now we must rise. Everyone was forst to clap on the end of the video. So sad the regime we under. Do you see what i mean. Why are we following the biggest, lie. The devil is here and we are his fool. Ups i think i just stole the show. I wouldn't have clapt just because you told me to clap. This is slavery, and we accept it. They where so loud. The mistakes in this world is in the past. Where the gods rule. This is my email adres: nilakvolegna@gmail.com, contact me if you like to follow a god, a creature an new race.
