Do you have a prized possession? Most of us do and we all know the value of our prized possessions don’t we, and how much time we spend guarding and preserving them, loving and not abusing them!
What you’re about to read may be rather controversial nowadays but I encourage you to read on as you will now hopefully see a wonderful truth that has been cleverly hidden in plain sight to most of us.
How many of you in this country have been to a wedding where the man, usually, or ideally, the father, gives his daughter away? Maybe you’ve been ‘given away’ yourself? Have you ever thought about where that tradition originates or exactly what that means? Well, in a nutshell it literally means what the father says – he literally gives his daughter away and his daughter now belongs to the man she has married!!
And believe it or not it used to be like that in this country until quite recently.
The wife was the husband’s possession and right up to the late 19th-century, women in England ceded all property and parental rights to husbands on marriage as well as her identity when she took his name.
When a girl was born they were the possession of the father (mothers, you would have been viewed as ‘the mother of the fathers child’) and upon marriage the father gives his possession away to the new husband, hence the groom would first have to get the approval of the father before he married her. How many of you knew that? The husband for his part would have had to pay a purchase price for his new possession as well prove himself capable of housing her and properly providing for all her needs.
Nowadays, and you’ll see why later, this behaviour is seen as “male oppression”. But, that’s why I began this article in the way I did because if you are a wife, wouldn’t you want to be cherished like your husband would cherish his prized Ferrari after paying top dollar for it?
Yes of course there are men who abuse this and abuse their women, there always have been and they’re always will be but, does that make the principle wrong? The ideal for marriage is that the man loves and cherishes his wife, and puts her needs above his, similar maybe to some husbands today who you will see eating cheap junk food yet treating their car with the best and most expensive oil and polish! After all, why would a man ever neglect or abuse his prize possession? That would just be stupid of him!
Now where do all these ideas come from? They were actually the custom of the Ancient Near East. They’re certainly not limited to ancient Jewish biblical ways but this is where I’m going now, to look more in depth at one way the Bible once shaped many more traditions of this country than it does now, and the reason why this is no longer the case.
The Tradition of Marriage
First, a quick mention about ‘shadows’, and it is hugely relevant so please do take on board this next part. Imagine a person walking through the streets of Paris for the first time who suddenly sees the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, some of us would get rather excited wouldn’t we. But, when we turn the corner and see the real thing the shadow is no longer the focus of attention is it, it simply led us to the real deal. In the Bible we are introduced to the idea of this marriage of man and woman as simply being a pattern, or shadow, of the real thing, which is our invitation of a spiritual marriage to a perfect bridegroom, although do see note * at end about freewill choice, which is an absolutely vital element in all of this.
Yes, if you’ve had or are in a bad marriage on this earth, or one lacking in that spiritual connection with your spouse, I can understand why you might not want to be thinking about another ‘husband’ but we have hopefully seen that the marriage principle is a good one, in theory anyway, plus the Bible informs us that yes ladies, there actually was a Perfect Gentleman, not the song by Helloween, but the man Jesus Christ, and therefore this at least has the recipe for the perfect marriage – a true spiritual connection with the perfect spouse!
Wouldn’t you like to be cherished by a husband like this and become royalty by marriage, to become a son or daughter in God’s own family now you’re married to the Son of God? And next time you see or hear someone say ‘Jesus loves you’, hopefully that makes a little more sense now. Meghan thought she was clever, but she just married into physical royalty, real smart people will marry into spiritual and eternal royalty! And we’re all invited, whatever our past, so wouldn’t you like to be spiritually married to the perfect husband, to leave behind our past and our old identity with unmarried mankind and all the problems, even misery, that goes with that relationship and instead take a new perfect identity, to have access to the divine and supernatural right now and not just when we “go to heaven” or nirvana as religion has convinced most of us?
A Cheap Counterfeit.
So many people nowadays, especially younger ones, are aware of our spiritual side and participate in counterfeit spiritual ‘marriages’, some would call this spiritual fornication, but if this marriage to Jesus is the real deal then why settle for any New Age counterfeit for example like so many of the younger generation are doing nowadays? Sure, I know it’s real, it’s powerful supernatural stuff too, I know it initially gives you that incredible and indescribable feeling of peace and happiness, and I know all about those special ‘powers’ that some of you may have acquired, but, and there’s always a but isn’t there! It’s just like a drug at the end of the day and carries with it all the side effects that drugs do, and doing drugs, just like fornication, sooner or later spirals out of control and never ends well does it. And neither does New Age, it’s a cheap counterfeit of true spiritual life and it doesn’t cheat death either, it actually lures you to it. If you’re into that, or the Occult or this Christ Consciousness stuff etc, can I just ask you, do you have real joy, and a deep inner peace that doesn’t vanish the morning after the night before? That is a rhetorical question by the way because we both know the answer. And we all need real inner peace 24/7, no withdrawals symptoms don’t we. We need to stop fornicating and find that emotionally solid, stable and perfect marriage.
Having Problems leaving? Don’t Panic...
If you’re finding it impossible to leave your past dabbling into the supernatural, don’t worry, that’s the grip of slavery this stuff has on all it’s followers but fear not, there is a Perfect Deliverer, guess who!! There’s more on ‘finding the way’ out to freedom on the page titled ‘Tutankhamun’ but it’s really quite simple and one thing for sure is that we are NOT in a battle of good v evil as we are programmed to think. The supernatural life and power we acquire in our marriage to Jesus Christ trumps and is superior to ALL other supernatural activity. Period. In modern lingo, Jesus is Boss. I know that and the Occult know that too, it is demonstrable by any ‘bride’ who knows and stands firm on his/her identity AND exercises his/her authority in Christ Jesus, just like this following analogy – In this world, if a lowly humble ordinary servant suddenly becomes the UK’s ambassador then they are instantly elevated and carry the full authority of the UK government wherever they go in the world. A real life example of that truth was powerfully revealed to me whilst standing outside Buckingham Palace years ago. For those of you who’ve been there, a policeman suddenly walked right out into the middle of all those multiple lanes of flowing traffic, put his hand up and hey presto, he stopped all those cars from moving! Was he stronger than even just one of those cars? No! Any one of them was strong enough to kill him – he simply exercised his authority. That day changed my life, that was the day I realised the difference between power and authority and that’s how the spiritual authority works that the bride of Jesus Christ have, if only we would ‘hold up our arms’ and exercise it. The only weapon the occult have is deception and that’s why we all need to think for ourselves, 24/7 365 because this world will deceive us so easily if not.
So This is Why God ALLOWS all This Evil.
The LOVE which God so desires from us is our freewill choice and if we don’t want to choose Him then He will certainly allow us to go it our own way, the way of our own corrupt imaginations. And that’s why there is evil in this world, it’s not God’s fault but ours, collectively. This battle in life is not good v evil as we are programmed to think, it’s truth v counterfeit, it is ongoing and the prize is our freewill choice. Think about it, how would a wife ever know she was loved by a husband if she was the only woman on earth? If there’s no choice then how can we CHOOSE to love? And you see, God is love.
Hopefully now you’ll see why this counterfeit religion of New Age along with all other religious practices, many supernatural because we are spiritual beings, are all allowed to be presented before us though because of our God given freewill choice. We are free to choose whichever pathway we take. There are no rules with God, it’s religion that imposes rules and rules are slavery. God is all about relationship. He wants your love, your choice.
Freedom is Great, but…
Back to rules and slavery. Until I was freed, I myself grew up under this bondage of religious deception, slavery to some ancient rulebook. Around the time I was set free I became a father myself (and God is referred to as a father) and once my children were around 10/12 years old, you’ll know that point I mean, within the solid framework they’d grown up in they then had no rules from me, I more or less gave them freedom to choose what to do themselves. We were close and they knew me well and all I did was give them guidance, daily guidance, like ‘you can do such and such if you want to but look at Mr So and So over there, that’s what happens if you do that, it’s much better to live like Mr Bloggs over there look’. They’re in their 20’s now and as I look at them now I think ‘yeh, I’d do it that same way again…’. That only worked though because we were close, and that’s my point – Having freewill choice in life we too must be close to our father God if we are going to choose the best path.
For 30 years I never had that closeness and I messed up with my own stupid choices before I started to properly think for myself. Thanks to some unbelievably successful policies introduced many decades ago by a group of Communist intellectuals aka The Frankfurt School **, I had been programmed to think like many others do, that the Bible was a sweet fairy tale book, a book about stone-age men and their wild uneducated imagination, a rule book for weak effeminate and insecure men, and nobody was going to tell me what to do but, how silly and foolish I once was – totally deceived.
I started to think about this for myself though, ditching the influence of school and media, and without any ‘coloured’ filters it soon became obvious. I’m now “married” to the greatest of husbands and I’m more than happy to be my spiritual ‘husbands’ possession, and I’m thoroughly grateful that I am as I now carry His name and authority everywhere I go! When a bride becomes married she changes her name, which is an identity, and because she now represents or is connected to her husband and not her father then her identity must therefore change. Similarly when people became identified with Jesus, early on in history they were called Christians. Have you ever read who Jesus was, what His character was like, and just what He went round doing? Maybe you should. Meghan Markle and Lauren Sanchez have done well by gaining what they have from marriage, but you can do way better!
It’s hard to put this spiritual reality, joy and peace etc into mere physical words but if you think I could help lead you to not just know but actually experience this total peace and freedom for yourself, please do get in touch. No qualifications needed and you certainly don’t ‘need to be good enough’ as religion brainwashed me into believing, in fact the more this life has broken you, the easier I think you’ll find this because the only hard part is ditching our old mindset. Sadly, most people are too proud or think themselves too clever to realise just how weak and pathetic we really are when we are in this world without God and with no hope. Think about it, we can’t even control our next heartbeat, so go on, just give in, ‘die’ to your old identity and get ‘born again’ into this new identity in Jesus Christ. Please note, I wrote ditch your identity, nothing else. This is so important. For so long I thought I needed to ditch my old ways first but the truth is, we can’t can we. No one can. It’s only when we take on this new identity that we suddenly realise, ‘hang on a minute, why do I still want to do that’? And ‘there’s no way on earth I’m carrying on doing that, that’s just stupid’!! You see with our new software, change is not necessary, it is inevitable….Wow!
I know this is a very long page already but that’s because I’ve tried to pack 90% of objections that 90% of people make into this one long universal suit all page and even though I know there will be individual questions that still need answering I feel there’s one more I must just close now with and that’s a very quick but relevant mention of…
The Tradition of Baptism.
When this practice began millennia ago it was actually totally relevant to everyday culture but just like marriage has lost it’s true meaning today so has baptism, which is figurative too, and I’m fully aware it all seems pretty laughable to most people nowadays, and I fully understand why I’m called a religious freak sometimes – in fact in youthful ignorance I once was the one doing the calling and mocking of others!
Baptism doesn’t actually do anything magic like protect our babies, the principle behind it shows how it must be for adults as it’s actually an outward declaration, a picture or an analogy of our death/severing to our old family ties as we vanish under the water and then rebirth as we come back out of the water, ‘washed’ clean and ‘born again’ into our new family. My old life was ended by my ‘death’ to it when I accepted this marriage invitation in my heart and then, aged 30, as an outward symbol of something already taken place inside, I chose myself to be baptised and I am literally now what the Bible calls a new creation. This new spiritual creation comes complete with totally new ‘software’, it’s an incredible supernatural ‘download’ of a whole new operating system, and as in marriage, my new husbands possessions have all become mine too! The things I once craved that were so destructive became abhorrent or totally pointless as this new software brings a totally new meaning to life, it brings true and unshakeable peace, the root meaning of peace being ‘piece’, one piece, and peace with God literally implies being one piece with God, at one with Him.
That’s all it takes folk to find the perfect marriage made in heaven!!! Life doesn’t begin at 40, it begins on our wedding day! And you too are invited to be His prized possession, cherished by the King of Kings. Does any religion or New Age offer you all that, and offer it right now in the here and now rather than offer you an imaginary future dream, plus loads more I haven’t mentioned here, largely because our language doesn’t contain the spiritual words that are needed?
Do get in touch if you’d like to explore this further.
Extra Note – I don’t call myself Christian nowadays because most people can’t differentiate between the true freedom Christianity brings and the vastly more well known counterfeit slavery ‘religion’ of Christianity, and the word just conjures up too many false impressions today – weak effeminate men, paedophiles, perverts, mentally impaired, money grabbers, control freaks, bloody Crusades against Muslims, appalling anti semitism etc etc etc and right up to date now and we are even seeing some of our world leaders along with the rich and famous starting to take the moral high ground with their profession of ‘God’. I’m in no position to judge anyone but we should be discerning and need to remember that if we have something good, there is always a counterfeit to deceive us (and, crucially for all the people who dismiss religion, please spin that round and think about this – surely if we have the counterfeit that we’ve all seen or experienced then there must be the real thing somewhere too, yeh??).
A ‘disciple of Jesus’ is a much better name I evermore aim to identify with, and I wonder, how many professing so called Christians that have ever lived could qualify for that identification….? This next sentence is slightly out of context that’s true but Jesus did say ‘many will call me Lord Lord but I will say I never knew you’.
One of the main objections people raise when I share this stuff is how they’ve witnessed or been subjected to wrongdoing or been hurt or even abused in the past by someone claiming to be a Christian. But, we must not throw the baby out with the bathwater though, I’ve been given counterfeit banknotes before, but it hasn’t stopped me taking banknotes from anyone who still wants to give me some – the real ones are still out there but I’m just more discerning nowadays!!!
Extra Note – typology was extremely common in secular English poetry in the 19th Century as well as being the most fascinating bible hermeneutic. That’s another example of just how much the biblical ways and mindsets were intertwined in everyday living in the not so distant past and for anyone with even the most miniscule interest in biblical matters or in the meaning of their lives I would implore you to look up typology, it’s a virtually unlimited source of deeper understanding about both the Bible, and our world and how literally everything that we see is but a shadow of a deeper spiritual reality or truth.
Extra Note – The Bible talks of people being owned by the devil or being set free and owned, ie being a possession of our ‘husband’ Jesus. Working out exactly who the Devil, Lucifer and Satan are though is an ongoing area of my reprogramming. At this moment in time I cannot shed any definite light on that subject other than saying that I do know for sure that what most of us are taught about these supposed individuals and the preconceived ideas we all have just cannot be supported by scripture. I could clearly show you why they are not the abhorrently ugly looking creatures with tridents stoking the fires of hell that we are all taught, but I can’t quite yet offer a true complete alternative understanding of these characters that will stand all scrutiny under the microscope. Send me an email if this interests you, I’m well on the way to building this part of the jigsaw but there’s one or two pieces missing yet, you may be able to help…
Note * if you’ve ever heard of ‘the Communion’ in a church setting, this too is symbolic and the general background to this Jewish practice of sipping of the cup of wine is that whenever a marriage proposal was made the potential bride had the choice to accept or decline – if she drank the wine then that was symbolic of her accepting the marriage proposal. But she had every right to refuse it too.
Without going into detail, I place monumental emphasis on this FREEWILL CHOICE, it is absolutely central and foundational to not only this but my whole world paradigm. Nothing at all makes sense in this world if we take away the freewill choice of every adult human being (within the limits of a good social structure of course).
What we do with this message therefore is totally our choice. God loves you and truly has the most remarkable marriage lined up for you but real love is a choice – and it’s two way.
Note ** The Frankfurt School. Firstly a definition of the word conspiracy, ‘a figment of imagination by a subnormal person’. Many think that but it is actually ‘a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful’. I spent a decade of my life fixated with conspiracies and these sort of things but nowadays I’ve actually left it all behind because I realised that detail isn’t at all important. But, there are certain things that people really do need to know to help make sense of why their lives are like they are now with one relevant example here being why we are all allowed to mock Jesus but not Allah. It’s because ‘they’ don’t mind you knowing about Allah but knowing the truth of Jesus lets the cat out of the bag. So (without majoring on conspiracies and really encouraging you not to go down that line either because it’s just a minefield of truths hidden with half truths, lies and well planned total deception, and virtually impossible to know what is truth and what is not truth when it comes down to detail) here are just a few brief details of the Frankfurt School, the communists responsible for the prevalent mindsets of the Western world today, yes, the Western world, and that includes my mindset and yours too. .
”The Frankfurt School was an institute of Social Research founded pre WW2 but whose researchers moved to American universities post war.
The Frankfurt School believed that as long as an individual had the belief – or even the hope of belief – that his divine gift of reason could solve the problems facing society, then that society would never reach the state of hopelessness and alienation that they considered necessary to provoke socialist revolution. Their task, therefore, was as swiftly as possible to undermine the Judaeo-Christian legacy. To do this they called for the most negative destructive criticism possible of every sphere of life which would be designed to de-stabilize society and bring down what they saw as the ‘oppressive’ order. Their policies, they hoped, would spread like a virus—‘continuing the work of the Western Marxists by other means’.
To further the advance of their ‘quiet’ cultural revolution – but giving us no ideas about their plans for the future – the School recommended (among other things): 1. The creation of racism offences. 2. Continual change to create confusion 3. The teaching of sex and homosexuality to children 4. The undermining of schools’ and teachers’ authority 5. Huge immigration to destroy identity. 6. The promotion of excessive drinking 7. Emptying of churches 8. An unreliable legal system with bias against victims of crime 9. Dependency on the state or state benefits 10. Control and dumbing down of media 11. Encouraging the breakdown of the family
One of the main ideas of the Frankfurt School was to exploit Freud’s idea of ‘pansexualism’ – the search for pleasure, the exploitation of the differences between the sexes, the overthrowing of traditional relationships between men and women. To further their aims they would:
• attack the authority of the father, deny the specific roles of father and mother, and wrest away from families their rights as primary educators of their children.
• abolish differences in the education of boys and girls
• abolish all forms of male dominance – hence the presence of women in the armed forces
• declare women to be an ‘oppressed class’ and men as ‘oppressors’
Munzenberg summed up the Frankfurt School’s long-term operation thus: ‘We will make the West so corrupt that it stinks.’
Did you know all that lot? Well, we both do now!! But, do I believe it – well of course not, there’s no evidence, none at all for that happening in our country is there!! HA HA!! LOL!!
Please read on. I’m not professing to know/understand or even care about anything political really, but carrying on – this Frankfurter stuff does make interesting reading…. (below, here concerning America but it’s generic to the whole of the West).
”The Frankfurt School’s studies combined Marxist analysis with Freudian psychoanalysis to form the basis of what became known as “Critical Theory.”
Critical Theory was essentially destructive criticism of the main elements of Western culture, including Christianity, capitalism, authority, the family, patriarchy, hierarchy, morality, tradition, sexual restraint, loyalty, patriotism, nationalism, heredity, ethnocentrism, convention and conservatism.
When addressing the general public, contemporary advocates of Political Correctness – or Cultural Marxism, as it might just as easily be called – present their beliefs with appealing simplicity as merely a commitment to being “sensitive” to other people and embracing values such as “tolerance” and “diversity.”
The reality is different. Political Correctness is the use of culture as a sharp weapon to enforce new norms and to stigmatize those who dissent from the new dispensation; to stigmatize those who insist on values that will impede the new “PC” regime: free speech and free and objective intellectual inquiry.
America today is dominated by a system of beliefs, attitudes and values that we have come to know as “Political Correctness.” For many it is an annoyance and a self parodying joke. But Political Correctness is deadly serious in its aims, seeking to impose a uniformity of thought and behavior on all Americans. It is therefore totalitarian in nature. Its roots lie in a version of Marxism which sees culture, rather than the economy, as the site of class struggle”.

Whilst setting up this website in 2024 I was recently fact checking these notes here that I’d written a decade ago about the Frankfurt School, and if you want a touch more info other than what could just simply be wild claims then open this link and you’ll find a more detailed history of the origins of this cultural war with a whole list of the people involved with the Frankfurt School.
It takes several attempts to load this site but having patience is worth it. Here’s one paragraph relevant to what we see today and probably explains why you maybe don’t know God today.
The Power of a Small Number
Munzenberg and Lukacs both knew that societies and civilizations are not propelled by mass movements. The Bolshevik Revolution had not been brought about by mass demonstrations, but by the disintegration of Czarism, the corruption of the ruling class, and by the erosion of that class’s faith in itself and its will to hold to power. Lenin’s theoretical journal, Iskra, which was instrumental in bringing down the imperial regime, had a circulation of 3,000–and all of them intellectuals.
The success of a strategy which would bring about that disintegration, corruption, and erosion in the West, the cultural revolution could alone produce the pre-emptive conditions for a Communist revolution. The obstacle was Western civilization itself and the culture it engendered.
Western civilization was made up of many mansions–the morality that derives from religion, the family, respect for the past as a guide to the future, the restraint of man’s baser instincts, and a social and political organization which guaranteed freedom without inviting license. And of these obstacles, the two greatest were an immanent God and the family. This was the message of the Marx of 1843, before he launched into pseudo-scientific economic history. His call then was for the ruthless criticism of everything existing, but particularly religion, science, and the family. Then, with Western man “liberated” of his humanity and rooting in the mud, the new, politically correct society would arise.

CLOSING THOUGHT – the basic message here is, and always will be the same unchangeable message, it is our lens of interpretation that changes through the years. In 1940 King George VI called for a national day of prayer yet less than one person’s lifetime later if our future King William called for the same today he’d be the laughing stock of the country wouldn’t he. Just as a side note, and lets think for ourselves now, is it by any chance a coincidence that the moral state of our country has declined accordingly and proportionately? Can we really ignore that Frankfurt School stuff? Can you really ignore this whole message on this page?
