Asking AI About God Has to Be the Mother of All Litmus Tests

8/23/2025

Any motivation to interact with the System’s newest and latest top-down-endorsed and implemented (re: enforced) technological innovation that will change everything--so you had better get-with-the-program-or-get-left-behind--is inherently misguided on its own;
however, the specific motivation to engage with AI on the topic of God is so severely perverted (as in turned completely the wrong way) that it utterly transcends the usual exhibitions of spiritual and religious retardation most so-called Christian blogs tend to exhibit.

If asking AI about God isn’t the mother of all Litmus Tests, then I don’t know what is.

Seriously.

We live in a time and place in which any meaningful answers about God must be discovered and worked out internally, within one’s being and spirit.

We will not find the answers we need exclusively in externals—no, not even in the Bible, tradition, some holy philosopher, or some sacred ritual, doctrine, or service.

Christianity needs to get out of its X-Files mode. Spiritual and religious truth is not “out there,” and it is certainly not in the much praised and vaunted trillion-dollar spiritual blackhole the System calls AI.

It pains me to say it, but if you don’t get that, you’re probably beyond all hope.

For the love of God, don’t ask AI about God!

Truth about God somewhere is else entirely.

Think about it.

Just think about it.

Really, really think about it.

In Which I Attend the Saint Stephen of Hungary Day Mass in Eger and End Up on a Television Report

8/21/2025

I recently spent a few days in Eger, a smallish city in northern Hungary, known for its wines and surviving the Turkish seige of 1552. While there, I attended a mass in honor of Saint Stephen of Hungary (August 20 is a national holiday in his honor). The Archishop of Eger presided over the mass, held at the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Apostle, see below.

Turns out the mass was recorded for television, and I appear in the short summary report that was featured in the evening news.

See you if you can pick me out from the pews at around 2:06. Hint, I'm the guy with closed eyes.

Note: I often close my eyes when concentrating on speeches or music, but in all honesty, I could have simply drifted off. The homily was not all that "engaging."

Additional note: You can set auto-translated subtitles if at all interested the report's content.

The Coming Bust Will Be Epic, But So What?

8/17/2025

I do not know when it will happen or how it will happen, but when I contemplate the evil, dishonest, and foolish voodoo that passes itself off as economics and financial markets these days, I cannot help but see that it will all come crashing down ... soon -- probably a lot sooner than most expect.

When it does finally happen, I suspect it will be worse than a mere downturn or a garden variety crash.

Think bust. Big-time, epic bust. The sort of bust that happens only once every century or two.

And what then?

Probably not much, at least not from a spiritual perspective.

The kind of spiritual revival our world needs cannot stem from such an external event, not even if it happens to be of epic, civilizational-altering proportions.

A Few Thoughts on Dr. You-Vill-Eat-Ze-Bugs Getting Thrown Under Ze Bus

8/3/2025

Remember this lovable Bond villain?

Until very recently, he was one of the System’s premier apparatchiks. He served as the poster boy for Birdemic, The Great Reset, and every other totalitarian-related machination the System churned out in recent decades. Some went as far as to identify him as the System’s mastermind and kingpin.

Well, no more. The System unceremoniously decided that the time to throw Dr. You-Will Eat-Ze-Bugs had come. And it wasted no time doing exactly that, ensuring that its probes and investigations into whatever it accused Dr. WEF/Great Reset of were generously splashed across all the major media outlets, replete with plenty of faux shock and tsk-tsking.

Good news, right? Not so fast. Getting excited or hopeful about some System apparatchik getting thrown under the bus is inadvisable and, potentially, spiritually lethal:

Any sudden media blitz that overtly criticizes, scrutinizes, re-evaluates, or condemns a System apparatchik should be treated with caution and suspicion. More often than not, all that such media campaigns do is offer false beacons of hope.

When the System hangs one of its own out to dry, it does so primarily to maintain or rebuild the public's trust in the System itself.

When the System puts one of its own in a difficult or vulnerable situation, it is working to persuade the public that, despite everything, the System remains a force for good—that it is and will actively deal with its corrupt and reprehensible elements whenever and wherever it happens to find them.

These sorts of campaigns—broadcast far and wide and splashed across the System's ubiquitous media—are meant to instill a sense of justice being served. They are meant to comfort. They are meant to re-cajole complacency.

In reality, the apparatchiks the System publicly hangs out to dry—be they CEOs, politicians, academics, celebrities, royalty, artists, or whatever—may be nothing more than voluntary or involuntary scapegoats and fall guys.

If they are voluntary scapegoats, they are rewarded handsomely for the manufactured ordeals to which they agree to subject themselves.

If they are involuntary scapegoats, the System will simply and unceremoniously throw them under the bus.

Either way, the System's fall guys serve the same purpose all fall guys do—they deflect blame, become focal points for pent-up anger and outrage, and grant the protected party, in this case the System itself, an immense advantage.

The System can afford to throw any of its "assets" under the bus at any given time, and I'm sure we'll see many individuals or entities being steamrolled by buses in the coming weeks/months/years.

As detailed above, some of this will be simple fall guy stuff, be it voluntary or involuntary. At other times, the "victims" might be casualties of infighting, position-jockeying, or in-System, low-level warfare. Ultimately, the demonic intelligence behind the System aims to throw everyone under the bus, including its servants.

Whatever the case, we should not be surprised by any of it. And we certainly must not regard such things as signs that the System is inherently good; nor should we believe such actions to be proof of systemic reform.

All such hopes must be abandoned. The only hope the System can offer now is false hope.

Real hope exists solely outside of and beyond the System, which is why system-distancing is so important.

Fleeing to Places of Perceived Safety

8/2/2025

Great insights from Dr.Charlton in response to this post:

This is why it is (spiritually dangerous) nonsense to spend as much time and effort as people do to decide where is the "best" (i.e. overall least evil) place in the West to flee to.

Essentially everywhere is qualitatively the same overall, all moving in the same direction; but with various differences around that average.

I think the proper question we ought to ask is not "here is it safest for "people" to flee; but where should I personally be living - given my unique nature and destiny.

This will not be a matter of where I can find the most comfortable life, but a matter of where I ought to be to get (and learn from) my personally most-needful experiences.

I think we can get to know this by honest spiritual discernment (and seeking the right kind of guidance), and perhaps also get some kind of divine help to act on it - if the answer we get is genuine.

My response, slightly edited:

Yes, fleeing to some place of perceived "safety" is rather pointless these days from a spiritual point of view. However, as you note, moving to some place or other can help, provided the decision is spiritually motivated.

I spent most of my adult life moving around, mostly in search of work because there was not much to be had in Canada (where I grew up). Ironically, my journey took me to places that were considerably less "safe and comfortable", like the Bronx, New York and Ashington, England.

That aside, when I settled in Hungary, I was driven primarily by a mixture of material and spiritual motivations.

On the one hand, I knew I could buy a house in Hungary debt-free. On the other hand, I knew I would be making one-tenth of the salary I made in the West. So I would be comfortable in one aspect but considerably less comfortable in other aspects.

For example, I currently earn about 1000 euros a month from my university job (if you can believe that!). My monthly grocery bill eats up about 60% of that net salary. Not much financial comfort or security there. However, not having a mortgage helps.

Anyway, after having lived most of my life in or near big cities, I sought a place where I might be able to touch the earth, so to speak. A place I might feel "spiritually alive."

I settled in a small village because I wanted my son to have the experience of growing up in a place where he knew everyone and everyone knew him. A place he could call home.

I never really had this experience in my childhood. I wanted him to experience those kinds of relationships. And I guess I wanted to experience that as well. Quality over quantity, I suppose.

Nevertheless, when I moved here, I remember thinking it was definitely safer and better than the other places I had lived.

Three months later the migrant crisis erupted, and my village, which is near the Austrian border, lies on one the well-used "migrant routes." So much for safety.

Then the birdemic hit, and we were no better off than anyone anywhere else. In some respects, we had it considerably worse!

And the war in the Ukraine is right next door . . .

Overall, I would say my decision to settle in Hungary was, at least partially, motivated by material and safety considerations. Yet, I also came here hoping I might find the sorts of experiences you mention -- the sorts of experiences that align with my nature and destiny. And I have to say, I do feel more "spiritually alive."

After a decade living in Hungary, I have realized the perceived material and safety aspects are nugatory. If I had not experienced "spiritual aliveness" after moving here, I likely would have left and continued on until I found it.

Still, I'm not sure this is the right thing.

Spiritual aliveness should be a predominately internal experience that is independent of external factors, but so many places in the West have become spirit-destroying and soul-crushing. In many ways, the whole world has.

In this sense, our spritual aliveness must not depend on external factors. Yet some external factors may help support or enhance one's spirit, provided the motivations are sincere and well-motivated.
