And He Shall Purify (The Music, The Words, The Healing Power Of This Masterpiece) MERRY CHRISTMAS TRUTH BARRIER FAMILY 🌲
Thank you, Céleste, for this recommendation.
Here is a previous Advent Calendar post I wrote, 2022, about Händel’s Messiah, with a focus on Jennens.
I discovered Santa wasn't real at the age of 4 or 5, then about the same year at Sunday School I asked a question to a religious teacher wearing a habit, "If I act just like Jesus Christ would I be like him?". The answer was a terse,"No", and and a week later my parents told me I didn't have to go to Sunday School anymore!
Have you sung in a concert of the "Messiah"? It is a synergistic happening, where the singing improves within maybe 15 minutes and sounds like a serious choir! Pretty much everybody is in the same key and vocal projection... and most have those "happy wet eyes", where the realization that something larger than oneself has occurred.
PS I don't recall anyone paying attention to the libretto.
One of my favorite musical works of all time!
The BEST way to fight THEM is to be as fully human as possible and all the creative arts are what makes us most human and are the thing the evildoers hate the most!
Can't say this often enough!
All life everywhere is being assaulted by THE TECHNOCRATIC OMNIWAR! RESIST! DO NOT CONSENT TO ALL THINGS DIGITAL, 'SMART', AI, 5G, NO CASH - ALL OF IT! dhughes.substack.com Technocrat ruling class psychos get a sadistic thrill from their powers over life and death and hurting all who stand in their way and they need the resources worldwide to build their digital total slavery control grids (herd survivors into 15 minute city digital prisons)!
AI is designed to be anti-human/anti-life programmed by technocrat control freak psychos - garbage in = garbage out. Everyone got along just fine without all these absurd and downright satanic electronic gadgets that did not exist until recently. NOBODY NEEDS THIS AI CRAP!
So thankful for everything you do! Christmas Blessings!
