Zero Lift-Off Only The Beginning
“For they who follow their own evil passions stain their consciences and lose the grace of God”
“Life isn’t a joy ride” so much “heavy lifting” needs to be done!
Princess Gloria says it all in the opening statement of this article’s excellent explanation of a great deception that’s taking place on earth by men and women that are not following God Almighty, at all but are actually antichrist. And I quote, “If you ask the historians or if you read the lives of the saints, you learn very much about history and you come to the conclusion that it has always been the goal of the ruling classes to acquire more power. That is the name of the game,” she says.” She does rank high in the social pecking order of earthly humans; but here we once again observe how God can and does choose His anointed from any of the social strata to carry out His will on earth as it is done in heaven!
Serving the Lord; what does that mean? It can mean different things for different people! You’ve heard the adage doing the heavy lifting I’m sure, and to me this means there are endless difficult tasks that need to get done in this world, many of them not any fun or things that will bring even a pat on the back nor perhaps in one’s lifetime much if any appreciation, by our fellow human beings! “Life isn’t a joy ride” nor can and should we ever rest on any laurels if we intend on doing any of the “heavy lifting” for God that must get done; if we are truly serving Him living out our lives as saints, to the best of our ability.
Far too many people on this earth seek the many pleasures and personal satisfaction that they crave of recognition, worldly success and adulation. But, these are “dead ends” because no true saint or martyr that offered their own life as a living sacrifice to God Almighty was busy seeking the praise or acceptance of others; no far from it, they instead lived a most humbled and often times a very chaste life with much suffering involved to accomplish it!
So take a hard long look at yourself in the mirror next time you care to peer into your own soul and ask if you have lived or are living a life as an instrument or servant of God. Ask if you could rather be one of the multitudes that are in it for his or her self, running a con; which might be fooling many people but no one can ever fool God! Though there are multitudes of people today that are so delusional living in a “cyber-world of delusion,” they “take the bait hook, line and sinker,” and like the old adage about many celebrities or movie stars who got so caught up in the hoopla they then by default are not following God’s Holy Spirit so then, “start to believe the hype;” only in this case they are playing right into “the father of all lies” hands, who is “the prince of this world,” who has this “technology trap” at his disposal directly influencing so many minions; he is getting his due in spades right now!
To me as I understand God’s plan it comes down to this beautiful Scripture given to us.
John 3:30, 31 “He must increase; I must decrease. 31The One who comes from above is above all. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks as one from the earth. The One who comes from heaven is above all.”
It is truly all about one’s selflessness and avoiding selfishness!
John 15:13, 14 “Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 14You are My friends if you do what I command you.” Amen.
I want to leave you with these great words of wisdom and truth, which I quote directly from “The Imitation of Christ” By Thomas A Kempis.
“Imitating Christ and Despising All Vanities on Earth”
“HE WHO follows Me, walks not in darkness,” says the Lord (John 8:12). By these words of Christ we are advised to imitate His life and habits, if we wish to be truly enlightened and free from all blindness of heart. Let our chief effort, therefore, be to study the life of Jesus Christ.
The teaching of Christ is more excellent than all the advice of the saints, and he who has His spirit will find in it a hidden manna. Now, there are many who hear the Gospel often but care little for it because they have not the spirit of Christ. Yet whoever wishes to understand fully the words of Christ must try to pattern his whole life on that of Christ.
What good does it do to speak learnedly about the Trinity if, lacking humility, you displease the Trinity? Indeed it is not learning that makes a man holy and just, but a virtuous life makes him pleasing to God. I would rather feel contrition than know how to define it. For what would it profit us to know the whole Bible by heart and the principles of all the philosophers if we live without grace and the love of God? Vanity of vanities and all is vanity, except to love God and serve Him alone.
This is the greatest wisdom–to seek the kingdom of heaven through contempt of the world. It is vanity, therefore, to seek and trust in riches that perish. It is vanity also to court honor and to be puffed up with pride. It is vanity to follow the lusts of the body and to desire things for which severe punishment later must come. It is vanity to wish for long life and to care little about a well-spent life. It is vanity to be concerned with the present only and not to make provision for things to come. It is vanity to love what passes quickly and not to look ahead where eternal joy abides.”
Often recall the proverb: “The eye is not satisfied with seeing nor the ear filled with hearing.” [1] Try, moreover, to turn your heart from the love of things visible and bring yourself to things invisible. For they who follow their own evil passions stain their consciences and lose the grace of God.”

These following quotes totally sum up my own personal prayers!
“Father, thank you for giving me a share in the fellowship of your saints. By your Spirit, empower me to embrace Jesus and his life in me. Empower me to be a saint.” catholicexchange
“If God were our one and only desire we would not be so easily upset when our opinions do not find outside acceptance.” ― Thomas à Kempis, The Imitation of Christ

(LifeSiteNews) — On today’s episode of The John-Henry Westen Show, I spoke with Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis, a Catholic philanthropist and German aristocrat who may be quite familiar to our readers.
Princess Gloria shares what really motivates our global elites into doing what they do, as well as how their worldview isn’t all that intellectually consistent.
“If you ask the historians or if you read the lives of the saints, you learn very much about history and you come to the conclusion that it has always been the goal of the ruling classes to acquire more power. That is the name of the game,” she says. “Whoever sits on the steering wheel of power wants more power. And therefore we can see that all of these measures that have been taken during the pandemic come in very handy for governments who seek to have more power over their subjects. And it is our duty to fight that.”
Princess Gloria adds later in the episode that “there’s a great contradiction” between the globalist push for greater economic consumption and their view that the earth is overpopulated.
“If that’s really true, then why do you kill your clients, the future clients?” she points out. “We are not dealing with serious people.”

Very true, your obversations, Lawrence. I would qualify Gloria as a “spoiled brat”.

Ah yes, isn’t that part of the curse being born with a silver spoon in one’s mouth? At least that’s what I’ve always considered it to be from my own observations; but this Scripture helps me to see deeper!
Romans 8:28 “And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose.”
I just thought what qualifications was I born with? I can remember being a bit of a brat at times but mostly very caring or wanting to be helpful; having wise good parents made a world of difference in my case! Well, I’m very grateful and thank God I never went off the rails!

Hereditary titles are not valid in Germany any more. They can only be used as part of the surname, in accordance to German law.

That isn’t what I refer to nor does it matter; as “man’s law is nothing!” Corruption abounds! Social status or affluence still abound, the ruling class is intact!
Proverbs 13:24 “He who withholds the rod [of discipline] hates his son, But he who loves him disciplines and trains him diligently and appropriately [with wisdom and love].”
I mean a person doesn’t choose what family or heritage they are born into but even with that fact, opportunity comes when a person can decide for his or her self who their real master is, and then with effort change course accordingly in order to serve God, instead of self which is what a spoiled brat does impulsively or automatically.
Peace.

I think that she is a vain, empty-headed individual who is trying her wannabe status as a wannabe “princess” to gain some sort of notoriety as a “socalite”. Therefore she clings to her “title” of “Princess”, which does not exist any more since the First World War ended. This is what I was refering to in my comment.

Sure that may be very well true and you can refer to that point, but it isn’t pertinent to what the show was pointing out in the article, which I’m saying is good because God has the final say in all things and will use anyone He chooses to accomplish “His will on earth as it is in heaven!”
Proverbs 16:3-5 “3Commit your works to the LORD and your plans will be achieved. 4The LORD has made everything for His purpose— even the wicked for the day of disaster. 5Everyone who is proud in heart is detestable to the LORD; be assured that he will not go unpunished.”
People tend to have their heads up their asses to be blunt; thinking that “mankind is its own means to an end” and will have a final say in this universe, let alone even their own puny mere lives of finality and finite existence; but that is nonsense and many are on a fool’s errand in a fool’s parade, as man has no real power at all! To me that is plain stupid and many people today are either stupid or trying to prove to the world that they can be as stupid as the next person and will always do their damned best to prove it to each other; thus endless conflict and nefarious evil deeds! Look at this “click bait” nonsense “cyber world” that so many multitudes of idiots are caught up in as if it were the greatest thing since sliced bread! It’s all an illusion and temporary facade to oblivion!
I perceive how people have changed so much from just not many decades ago becoming more mechanical or even robotic; to me almost mindless machines or what some would classify as zombies! What got me going on this bent is how so much is now digital and internet with less and less actual real physical world tactile interaction, or loss of genuine community, yet these people think for some reason being bait clickers is just fine and the best thing since sliced bread! To me I see it as a loss of humanity and a retreat from being real as in pioneers or brave souls who each day wanted to face the elements and take life head-on, but now they prefer to be couch potatoes and sit cloistered in some room alone in some delusional trance; a new kind of drug this bait clicking!
I recently wrote the following.
Bishop Fulton Sheen had these words of wisdom to share in his “Way to Happiness.”
He had this to say about the deep seated need of humans to search for Life, Truth and Love.
“These three things are not to be found in this life in their completion: on earth life is shadowed by death, truth mingles with error, love is mixed with hate. But men know they would not long for these things in their purity if there were no possibility of ever finding them. So being reasonable, they search for the source from which these mixed and imperfect portions of life, love, truth derive.”
Fulton Sheen also pointing out how we imperfect and greatly flawed humans upon seeing this fact about ourselves is very demoralizing but is the beginning or preparation to then realize it is necessary to take a step toward humility for without it achieving real joy is not possible; as “humility is Truth” and I say the facing of it makes us stronger not weaker!
“Humility is truth about yourselves. A man is six feet tall, but who says: “I am only five feet tall,” is not humble. He who is a good writer is not humble if he says: “I am a scribbler.” Such statements are made in order that there might be a denial and thus win praise. Rather he would be humbler who says: “Well, whatever talent I have is a gift of God and I thank Him for it.”
“…this perennial tension in man can be accepted and made bearable only by a surrender of the self to God. Then whatever happens is welcomed as a gift of love; frustration cannot happen to us for we have no clamorous, selfish will.”
“Joy can be felt in both prosperity and adversity. In prosperity it consists not in the goods we enjoy but in those we hope for; not in the pleasures we experience but in the promise of those which we believe without our seeing. Riches may abound but those for which we hope are the kind which moths do not eat, rust consume, nor thieves break through and steal. Even in adversity there can be joy in the assurance that the Divine Master Himself died through the Cross as the Condition of His Resurrection.”
And all things in moderation is something I learned as a boy from my parents which they obviously learned through experience and from their parents and the teachings of Fulton Sheen I happen to know!
“The most intense and lasting joys come only to those who are willing to practice a certain self-restraint, to undergo the boredom of a preliminary discipline.” The Venerable Fulton Sheen.
So these are the kinds of things that truly matter to me and should to any sensible sane person in my humble opinion! Because the seeking of praise or confirmation by others is a vain and fruitless cause and an actual illness or diversion from Truth, and is rather a delving into foolish arrogance, conceit, self-worship or confusion which are not of God at all but the opposite! And those are the attitudes or behaviors too often times displayed and propagated on the internet, what become the actual motivations behind many of the “bait clickers” as I call them, and following chasers or praise seekers, by the multitudes of lost souls spending far too much time living in an artificial, fake and deceptive false world that has many allures or even snares to trap those foolish enough to partake of such a Pandora’s Box! And “I don’t give a rat’s ass if they all hate me;” what does it matter, they don’t own my soul or destiny!
Time as we live it out in our short lives is far too precious to be frittering it away with triviality and non-reality such as we find on the internet; but those precious moments should be spent with the actual living in person and accomplishing tasks that need to be accomplished in order to do good in the world that which must be God’s will not our own! Amen.
To me this “artificial cyber bullshit world” is too damn frustrating as it proves daily how lost humans really are! Caught up in the “hoopla of the herd mentality” and really “getting nowhere ultimately;” just look at the “lying evil scum” that own and operate these “Mega Big Tech Monstrosities” just the same kind as the Big Pharma breed, humanities “New Oracles,” and the government devils that use and control it for their ultimate ulterior designs of control, enslavement and murder! “Lost in space, cyberspace” is all this is going to yield as a byproduct of just “more of the same stupidity that mankind has been plagued with since day one, but, now exponentially amplified!”
Sorry to project such a dismal portrait of human kind but “Reality and Truth” do hurt when faced head-on! I’m no longer the sweet talking sugarcoating sort of guy I once was; I opened my eyes and mind to the reality and truth about this crazy world, but more importantly “my genuine heart” as to where it stands in regard to absolute truth; “God’s truth.” That is all that matters, not “mankind’s delusional escapades or willful stupidity!” The absolute end of all this turmoil is fast approaching and that is something every capable breathing human being should be caught up in every day as the primary or paramount concern; as to “whether they are worthy of anything more than this total mess!”
The wake-up call has long since passed!
Blessings.
God Speed.

Glorié looked extremely ugly with her yellow, green, blue, violet and what- not-coloured hair in her youth. So the German yellow press called her the “punk princess”.
Now, in old age, she looks like a little grey-clad nun, preaching nonsense. Nobody in Germany takes notice of her, except maybe a few Catholic priests.

Not sure if you understood this comment of hers which made total sense and is highly accurate in my mind!
“If you ask the historians or if you read the lives of the saints, you learn very much about history and you come to the conclusion that it has always been the goal of the ruling classes to acquire more power. That is the name of the game,”
Here she was going on to add this which gave more power to her overall statement than any of the Democrat useless lying trash in Congress who talk gibberish most of the time and or lies! Look at the Soros propped up puppet imbecile AOC!
Princess Gloria adds later in the episode that “there’s a great contradiction” between the globalist push for greater economic consumption and their view that the earth is overpopulated.
“If that’s really true, then why do you kill your clients, the future clients?” she points out. “We are not dealing with serious people.”
Again she spoke nothing but truth there; and that is what I’ve always known the ruling class and most politicians to do; I know from firsthand inside knowledge, News Media and former government employee here! Criminals all!
And this was quite ripe with Truth! “Whoever sits on the steering wheel of power wants more power. And therefore we can see that all of these measures that have been taken during the pandemic come in very handy for governments who seek to have more power over their subjects. And it is our duty to fight that.”
And I say Anyone with a clue now realizes if they hadn’t from February 2020 to this year that the pandemic Fraud was all orchestrated by the most evil scums of the earth who are in the same category occupied by diabolical monsters like Hitler, Marx, Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, Xi, Putin and others; just how corrupted and evil our governments leaders are, and how little they care about humanity or God’s will. They are the epitome of antichrist!
I’d say she has lots of fortitude to stand up and be counted which is something most fools in society aren’t willing to do unless they are crybaby insane Democrats and far left fridge loose liberals that are able to rant and burn down cites as they did in the summer of 2020 while the crooked government protects and advocates for their madness; useful idiots, serving an agenda for now, but eventually they will get the axe!

Yes indeed Joseph, sounds like the proper order for sure if a person calls themself a true believer Christian who is following Jesus!
But actually putting that into full true practice is the difficult catch; because as I’ve seen or experienced far too many people put self-first and weren’t so self-sacrificing when it comes down to the wire! I know for a fact that I was blessed to have both my parents put self-last.
