EXACTLY WHO'S CRAZY NOW??

Exactly Who's Crazy Now??

I was just thinking about the new movie,  

Alice In Wonderland,
you know, the one with Johnny Depp 

(whom I thought his performance
was one of depth ... and a very adept performance,

I might add LOL) ...
Anyway, I watched it the other night (on cable). 

I loved it. 

I didn't think I would at first ... 

I don't know if it was Tim Burton's effect on it or what;
he always puts this almost dark and mysterious and eerey look to
his films; or maybe the typical Old English-ness you always find
in the other movies. Yes, I know ... 

it is important to follow the book.


Anyway, my favorite was a different, modern version
simply called  Alice  (LionsGate 2009 --  

Matt Frewer, Harry Dean Stanton,
Tim Curry, Kathy Bates, Caterina Scorsone ). 

 Everybody was always
asking "You mean The Alice? " That Alice was my favorite.
 
But I did love This Alice. This new one.
This was Alice 'coming-of-age'. 

This story picks up from the previous time(s?) 

she visited Wonderland before 

[interesting thought... the locals
called the place "Underland", 

which is probably more accurate. I actually
have read none of the books all the way through, 

just the Jabberwocky poem]. 

Even if there was much dispute on whether "this Alice" is 

"the right Alice", still her future is predicted on a scroll: 

She will defeat and destroy
the Jabberwocky (a dragon type beast)
on Frabjous Day.
One interpretation of "Alice" has said 
the story reveals a method 

of coping for a child who has D.I.D. --
(dissociative identity disorder), 

to deal with abusive people in the outside world. 

After viewing several different versions of Alice, 

and reading a little of the history of Lewis Carroll, 
I thought it was more about 'how to deal
with the crazy people in your life'.
Now... I see things a whole lot differently.
Now ... I see things through the eyes of Alice, 

not just outside of Alice.
Alice decides, after time and thought, 

she should control her own choices and destiny;
NOT let others always dictate to her what 

her next step should/will be.
 
Alice is NOT crazy. 

But a highly creative and vivid imagination helps.
A lot. 
No, Alice is sane ... and some others who seem crazy, 
are just 'misunderstood'. 
The ones who are really crazy 

are the 'insane' ones...
the ones who can do some real damage to people, 

the ones who don't love
anyone save themselves, and could just yell

"off with their heads"-- being
their way to deal with their own faults 
and weaknesses and insanity.
 

For quite a while, Alice was insisting she was in a dream.
I think she finally realized she was not in a dream, but in
an alternate reality. And she ... conquered her fear, 

and decided YES,
she would be THE ONE to battle the Jabberwocky. 

 And that battle was EPIC!
I loved it when she was in the air, and landed down on the beast with her Vorpal sword saying 

"Off with YOUR head!!" Great Scene.

Now we see the crazy ones fighting for a just cause ... even the

Mad Hatter himself, and Cheshire Cat! The righteous rule returns

to the rightful lady ... The White Queen.

Seeing the outcome after this defeat, 

it was made clear who was really
'the crazy ones'. The Red Queen and 

 her right-hand man/lover(?), Stayne.
So, really crazy, bad, really mean people 
are obsessed 
and just don't quit, do they? 
What do they understand? 

Punishment.

Well, those two were banished. 

I suppose you can bully back a bully ... or just
do what Jennifer Aniston did to Perez Hilton:  

"Why are you so mean??"
That straightened him out, for a while. Way to go, Jennifer.
And way to go, Alice, for taking out that beast, 
and helping restore some sanity in Wonderland.  
And I think, perhaps, that is part of our
job here on planet earth, to rid it of evil. 
Balance it out, so to speak.
And in some cases, it's gonna take a 

highly vivid and creative imagination.

Happy Summer!

OLD RELIGIOUS PROGRAMMING DIES HARD

Old Religious Programming Dies Hard

I very recently came out of a relationship that I was involved in
for just a little over a year. This person turned out to be quite
controlling, and even perhaps bipolar bear himself. I'm not really
rejoicing about this... no ... in fact, I was quite sad at how things
developed. I'm the kind of person that will usually go more than
the extra mile with you, be loyal to you and put up with a lot of
'flak', to even my family's chagrin. I seemed to be the last, often,
to see the flaws in a so-called 'friend', if they are using me.

It has taken me quite some time to process all this, especially
while dealing with a financial shake-up in my life (still going thru
that one) *AND* discovering that some of my enemies have been
those amongst my own kin or 'former' kin, as it were. So, yeah ...
there has been a LOT to process lately. I can be thankful for the
TRUTH being exposed, and for deliverance.
Speaking of which ... it is in deliverance that we have seen 'demons'
like to 'label' you what they are. It's the old "pot calling the kettle black'
sitch. And ... if you ever do get into a debate or argument with one of
these, about TRUTH, they will always stick with their "party line" -- like
the devout "company man", never wavering off their prized doctrine.
"My mind is made up ... don't confuse me with the facts". It doesn't matter
how much you "prove the truth" to these kind, they cannot and will not
give up their "programming". Although, they don't know they are programmed.
It goes OFF like a trigger! I've seen some try to evangelize  'solid christians'
AS IF their subjects are totally ignorant and have to be enlightened! Or perhaps
they will launch into a rather LOONNNNNGGG monologue, replete with scriptures
and judgments and dogmatic decrees and declarations.

"The Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome,
but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged"
(2 Tim. 2:24)

They must have missed THAT verse in all their 'training'.
But so many 'christians' have been programmed to just
parrot scriptures and doctrinal statements, without giving
regard to the witness/leading of The Spirit, the situation/circumstances
of the listeners or even using compassion.
Reminds me of an event I went thru back in 2001. My Dad
had just passed away ... he was a God-fearing man, and I
do believe he loved God. I visited my neighbors for a moment,
when the lady of the house stepped to her front door, I blurted
out that I just lost my Dad 'yesterday' and that we were going
to the Memorial service. Then ... she blurted out "Well, it is appointed
for man once to die and after that the judgment." I was shocked!
I thought "don't enter into pastoral care, cuz you suck at it!"
Unbelievable. So ... is that how her church teaches her to respond
 when someone mentions "losing a loved one"?? And by the way,
that verse was pulled way out of context, and that's NOT how you respond
to the one bereaving. I am long over that shock, indeed ... but it does
make an illustration of what I'm speaking of.

People who are 'programmed' religiously are akin to those who have been
programmed by hypnotic triggers. It's another form of 'mind control' and
is nothing new. Hitler used it ... the military has used it ... and it is very
very sad when pastors and/or ministers use these methods to 'train'
(actually 'condition') their members. We should be allowed to question,
and seek or search for truth ... not just accept words simply because
they issue forth from a 'member of the clergy'. People who have been
thusly programmed NEED deliverance ... the signs and clues are clear.
IF you ever get to engage with someone who is 'programmed' ... they
are not likely to change their beliefs ... they are not likely to agree with
you (on much) ... they may not even be listening to you (not really) ...
and you may find them 'turning on you'.

“ Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces." (Matt. 7:6)

What can you do about such a one?
Pray for the truth to be revealed and the
darkness in them exposed. Bind the 'triggers'
that may be there ... send those to 'torment'.
Matter of fact, bind ALL demonic influences.
Remember, the goal of the demonic realm is
to 'divide and conquer'. It starts with strife and
gets ugly from there.
Just like in computers, 'programs' have to be
"disabled, uninstalled and deleted". Make it so.
These captives really do need deliverance.
Don't we all 

 (from time to time).

Just passing on some 'words of wisdom' ... for what it's worth.
