Deconstructing Faith: A Message for Christians, Current or Former, Questioning Fundamentalist Religion
This talk may not be for everyone. I would recommend it for former Christians or those who have come from any fundamentalist religious upbringing, or those who find themselves currently asking questions, deconstructing faith, and seeking alternative answers. Who has read the entire Bible? Has anyone memorized the Bible? What would happen if someone knew this whole spiritual text in both Hebrew and Greek? What if you had read every theological book you've been meaning to get to? What would be the end result of all this? [Audio upload from previously recorded livestream]

Timestamps:
- 0:00 Introduction & A Proposed Consideration
- 0:45 My Time in Christianity / Great Theologians & Christian Authors
- 3:00 Many Christians haven't even read the whole Bible
- 4:18 What if you memorized ALL of scripture in its original languages & read every theology book?
- 7:52 Devoting one's entire life to what is merely an idea
- 8:58 In Christianity, confirmation of truth doesn't come until after death
- 11:17 Where does YOUR interpretation of Scripture actually come from?
- 14:54 Church leaders discourage people from asking questions or looking outside of the Christian worldview, calling it "Heresy," "False gods," etc.
- 17:30 It is NOT dangerous or heretical to seek truth outside of your system, and in fact taking that risky step is crucial
- 19:02 Be careful what you claim to know for certain. A healthy amount of skepticism and curiosity is good.

LBRP Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram: What is it REALLY for? Common Misconceptions & Fears
Discussing common misconceptions and superstitious fears around the LBRP i.e. the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (also Hexagram), one of the most widely known and widely practiced foundational rituals for initiates and adepts alike. I discuss what this ritual actually does (not comprehensively, but one of the main things it does, anyhow), why to perform it over a committed period of time and what it is for.

Is there only "One True God?" Are gods even real? Why are there so many different deities across world religions? Why devote oneself to a deity? What is sex magic? What is raising sexual energy? What is the purpose or intent behind any of this? [This episode is uploaded audio from a recent livestream].
