Aleister Crowley the Influencer of Society Part 2

Gio: 00:00:08

Hello everybody.

Gio: 00:00:08

Welcome back to the Gio and Joey podcast.

Gio: 00:00:11

To the second episode on Aleister Crowley.

Gio: 00:00:13

Joey, how are you doing today?

Joey: 00:00:14

Doing good.

Joey: 00:00:15

How you doing?

Gio: 00:00:15

Better than I deserve, brother.

Gio: 00:00:17

Better than I deserve.

Gio: 00:00:18

Last week's episode was nuts a lot of scholarly quotes and on the heels

Gio: 00:00:24

of Sam Smith's Grammy Satanic ritual.

Gio: 00:00:28

Today we are gonna show some more of the practical side of Crowley's

Gio: 00:00:32

influence in society, as we do that, I wanna start with this.

Gio: 00:00:37

We did a couple of episodes ago with Charles Darwin, and if you believe in

Gio: 00:00:41

evolution, you believe that there is no God, there is no meaning, no ground

Gio: 00:00:46

for ethics, no free will, no personal identity, no genuine relationships,

Gio: 00:00:51

no wonderful richness of the world.

Gio: 00:00:54

So I believe that between Crowley and Darwin, they have totally

Gio: 00:00:59

influenced society towards the negative, not the positive.

Gio: 00:01:04

From a biblical perspective.

Gio: 00:01:05

I think Darwin influenced people to believe there is no creator.

Gio: 00:01:09

And this man, Alistair Crowley, has influenced people to worship the enemy.

Gio: 00:01:15

So it's a two-prong attack on Revelation chapter 14, verses six and seven,

Gio: 00:01:21

which calls us to worship God, who created the heavens and the earth.

Gio: 00:01:26

So these two individuals, one attacks creationism and the

Gio: 00:01:29

other one attacks worship.

Gio: 00:01:31

And we're going to look at the life of Crowley, and we're gonna

Gio: 00:01:34

see from our religious tradition that he says certain things that

Gio: 00:01:39

contradict things that we believe in.

Gio: 00:01:42

And I'll start with this, in our religious tradition, it says this.

Gio: 00:01:46

That God wants such an army of workers, as our youth rightly trained, might

Gio: 00:01:51

furnish how soon the message of a crucified, risen, and soon coming

Gio: 00:01:55

savior might be carried to the whole world, that's a good thing.

Gio: 00:01:59

Young people preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ, bringing truth to the masses.

Gio: 00:02:05

However, in a bizarro world, Crowley says, Let me seduce the boys and the oldsters

Gio: 00:02:12

may tatter unconverted to their graves.

Gio: 00:02:14

Then these boys become men may bring about the new heavens and the new earth,

Gio: 00:02:19

but with without an army, I am useless.

Gio: 00:02:23

Give me my army, young men, and we will sweep these dogs into the sea.

Gio: 00:02:29

What A contrast, One for the cause of Christ, one for the cause of the enemy.

Joey: 00:02:34

I think we, we see that, what is the biggest battle in our society right now?

Joey: 00:02:38

Who is the vanguard?

Joey: 00:02:39

It's these mothers who saw particularly in 2020 with the shutdowns and

Joey: 00:02:43

when education was put online.

Joey: 00:02:46

They saw what their kids were being taught, I know Libs of TikTok has

Joey: 00:02:50

done some good journalism on this, showing these teachers that are bragging

Joey: 00:02:56

about influencing kids, right with.

Joey: 00:02:58

Kind of these dogmas, these sexual things, and it's like, that's always

Joey: 00:03:02

the focu if you can get the youth the communists, I know they did this, Stalin

Joey: 00:03:07

would try to recruit youth for, the Red Army and, hitler had the Hitler youth,

Joey: 00:03:11

propagating, kids into Nazism, so it's like everyone is always focused on

Joey: 00:03:16

the youth because the time when you're deciding the course of your life and I

Joey: 00:03:20

like what that the author from Education said, as Christians, if we have an army

Joey: 00:03:25

of dedicated youth who love the Lord, they can change the world, And Crowley the

Joey: 00:03:30

enemy, he realizes that as well, if he can get the youth, he can change the world.

Joey: 00:03:34

but for very different ends.

Gio: 00:03:36

and we see it in society today, as you mentioned and alluded to, all the

Gio: 00:03:40

battles here that are happening in the United States Drag queen story hour, the

Gio: 00:03:45

need for drag queens to perform in front of children, the curriculum in schools,

Gio: 00:03:50

everybody is focusing on the children.

Gio: 00:03:52

Christianity wants to keep children pure.

Gio: 00:03:55

We see all this push to have children get elective surgeries when they

Gio: 00:04:01

haven't even truly decided what they want to do with their lives.

Gio: 00:04:05

The push is always to get the children, and Crowley had a plan

Gio: 00:04:10

and unfortunately, sadly, in certain areas of society he's succeeding.

Gio: 00:04:15

Look at this next quote from Crowley, things that he believed in.

Gio: 00:04:19

He says, paganism is wholesome because it faces the facts of life.

Gio: 00:04:24

He goes on to say, if one were to take the Bible seriously, one would go mad.

Gio: 00:04:30

But to take the Bible seriously, one must be already mad.

Gio: 00:04:34

This guy is nuts.

Gio: 00:04:36

But why?

Gio: 00:04:37

Have you ever wondered, and I ask this to people, why is always

Gio: 00:04:40

the attack against Christianity?

Gio: 00:04:42

Why not against other religions?

Gio: 00:04:44

Crowley says in the confessions of Alistair Crowley, the reason he doesn't

Gio: 00:04:48

attack those religions, in fact he uses them in his own religion, is because

Gio: 00:04:54

the only true religion is Christianity.

Gio: 00:04:56

Even a Satanist can acknowledge that.

Gio: 00:04:58

Look at this other quote he says.

Gio: 00:05:01

I was not content to believe in a personal devil and serve him in

Gio: 00:05:05

the ordinary sense of the word.

Gio: 00:05:07

I wanted to get ahold of him personally and become his chief of staff.

Gio: 00:05:13

You know, politics.

Gio: 00:05:14

What does a president do without his chief of staff?

Joey: 00:05:18

Not a whole lot.

Joey: 00:05:19

He doesn't effectuate a whole lot of policy.

Joey: 00:05:21

What jumps out at me about that statement so the devil, going back to the roots

Joey: 00:05:26

of this whole thing, he started out as an angel of light in heaven and his

Joey: 00:05:30

whole issue how evil arose in his heart.

Joey: 00:05:34

Is pride of position, He wanted to be right.

Joey: 00:05:37

He was next to God.

Joey: 00:05:38

He's the most exalted angel.

Joey: 00:05:40

But he's like, no, that's not enough for me.

Joey: 00:05:42

I want more.

Joey: 00:05:43

And what we see here with Crowley is that to this day, the devil's ranks are

Joey: 00:05:48

filled with people who are egotistically vying for power, And I think in our

Joey: 00:05:54

world, we see power dynamics, right?

Joey: 00:05:57

And like the systems of the world are, it's always about power over, right?

Joey: 00:06:02

I need power to effectuate change.

Joey: 00:06:05

what's different about Christ, what's different about God is it's

Joey: 00:06:08

about power, but power is through service, power through love.

Joey: 00:06:13

Power through, servant leadership, right?

Joey: 00:06:16

How did Christ, who was our ultimate example, how did he display this?

Joey: 00:06:20

He got down on his knees and washed his disciples feet, Ultimately,

Joey: 00:06:24

he went to the cross himself.

Joey: 00:06:27

Him who knew no sin became sin for us.

Joey: 00:06:30

So in other words, what we see with Crowley and what we see on

Joey: 00:06:32

the devil's side, going all the way back to Lucifer himself, is this

Joey: 00:06:36

jockeying and vying for power over.

Joey: 00:06:39

And what we see with Christ is this, desire to lead through

Joey: 00:06:44

service and love and self-sacrifice.

Joey: 00:06:47

I don't think that distinction could be more clear.

Gio: 00:06:49

Crowley and his followers, they're big.

Gio: 00:06:53

Textbook is this book, they call it the Book of the Law.

Gio: 00:06:56

And basically you could summarize the book of the law.

Gio: 00:06:59

Crowley says, by Do as Thou Wilt.

Gio: 00:07:01

And that phrase happens to be promoted by none other than Jay-Z, who happens to be

Gio: 00:07:08

one of the biggest rap artist of all time.

Gio: 00:07:11

Married to Beyonce, another big artist who has a big following.

Gio: 00:07:15

And you could see it here, this is Crowley's phrase.

Gio: 00:07:18

It's even written in the old English.

Gio: 00:07:21

Like they would say it, do what thou will, shall be the whole of the law.

Gio: 00:07:24

And here he has it on his, sweatshirt.

Joey: 00:07:28

I guess the theme that I'm seeing in all of this is the law of contrast

Joey: 00:07:31

between the true and the bad, right?

Joey: 00:07:34

And it seems like in everything there is, there's a direct comparison.

Joey: 00:07:38

Crowley says the whole of the law will be this.

Joey: 00:07:41

Do what?

Joey: 00:07:41

The wilt.

Joey: 00:07:43

But Jesus has asked a similar question to summarize what the whole

Joey: 00:07:46

of the law is and what does he say.

Joey: 00:07:48

He says, you will love the Lord your God with all your heart minded soul.

Joey: 00:07:52

And then he says, the second commandment is like it.

Joey: 00:07:54

You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

Joey: 00:07:57

So it's like, how different is that right?

Joey: 00:07:59

One, the whole of the law is do what thou welt.

Joey: 00:08:03

The other is basically love God and love your fellow man.

Joey: 00:08:06

Again, when that contrast is put together, Christianity

Joey: 00:08:09

looks far more attractive.

Gio: 00:08:11

If you follow each to its logical conclusion, the endings

Gio: 00:08:15

are totally in different universes.

Gio: 00:08:18

If you follow a life where it's all about self, it's all about doing what

Gio: 00:08:22

you wish versus following, A law that leads to sacrificial love, that leads

Gio: 00:08:27

to taking care of not only yourself, but taking care of society and family.

Gio: 00:08:31

You end up with different society and we're starting to see the

Gio: 00:08:34

ramifications of Crowley's teaching.

Gio: 00:08:37

I wanna show you, several artists and I wanna paint the scene.

Gio: 00:08:41

So here's Katie Perry.

Gio: 00:08:43

We have seen her in other, Grammy renditions do Satanic rituals, but here

Gio: 00:08:47

we have another famous artist, Eminem . We have Rihanna, we have kanye West.

Gio: 00:08:52

Here we have Beyonce, married to Jay-Z, and he, we have Metallica

Gio: 00:08:57

all these artists, if you would ask them, are you like somebody else and

Gio: 00:09:01

what would they more than likely say?

Gio: 00:09:03

No, we're unique.

Gio: 00:09:05

I'm unique.

Gio: 00:09:06

There's no one like me.

Gio: 00:09:07

However, we're going to see here is that they all play for the same team.

Gio: 00:09:12

In essence, they all have communications with each other.

Gio: 00:09:16

They all have symbols which promote the teachings of Aleister Crowley.

Gio: 00:09:21

And we're gonna talk about symbol.

Gio: 00:09:23

But before we do that, let's read these Bible verses.

Gio: 00:09:26

It says, and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of

Gio: 00:09:30

darkness, but rather expose them.

Gio: 00:09:32

And that's what Joey and I are doing today.

Gio: 00:09:34

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, his

Gio: 00:09:39

own special people that you may proclaim the praises of him who called you out

Gio: 00:09:43

of darkness into his marvelous light.

Gio: 00:09:46

We don't want you to be part of the darkness.

Gio: 00:09:49

We don't want anybody to be part of the darkness.

Gio: 00:09:51

God has called us from darkness to light, and this is what we're trying to

Gio: 00:09:55

expose in these two episodes of Crowley.

Gio: 00:09:58

God has called us to worship the Creator, not the creation.

Gio: 00:10:03

And we spoke about a couple of weeks ago, that the Declaration of

Gio: 00:10:07

Independence, says what about the creator?

Joey: 00:10:09

That he endows us with certain inalienable rights among these being

Joey: 00:10:13

life, liberty, and the pursuit of.

Gio: 00:10:16

We are endowed by the creator.

Gio: 00:10:18

So whether you believe in Christianity or not, what makes this country special

Gio: 00:10:22

is the fact that we have inalienable rights, that we're all created equal.

Gio: 00:10:27

And that comes from Christianity.

Gio: 00:10:29

Yet society today wants to pigeonhole people into groups and divide them.

Gio: 00:10:35

And we see that chaos is happening in society where Christianity

Gio: 00:10:40

wants to call us all to peace.

Gio: 00:10:43

So we're gonna look Joey at a couple of symbols and you tell me what these

Gio: 00:10:47

symbols are if you recognize them, what's this symbol and what does it represent?

Joey: 00:10:52

That's the arc of the covenant.

. Gio: 00:10:55

And what does it represent?

Joey: 00:10:57

Well, ultimately it represented God's presence with the people of

Joey: 00:11:01

Israel, this represented God's presence.

Joey: 00:11:03

I believe shekinah Glory, was there, in the most holy place of the

Joey: 00:11:07

tabernacle that the Israelites built while they were in the wilderness.

Gio: 00:11:10

This symbol represented a reality.

Gio: 00:11:14

Even though the symbol wasn't the reality, it had an attachment to the reality.

Gio: 00:11:19

In fact, that symbol represented something.

Gio: 00:11:23

What about this one?

Joey: 00:11:24

I'll give a little bit of the story for the audience that doesn't know mm-hmm.

Joey: 00:11:27

but the children of Israel, , these people, God would deliver

Joey: 00:11:30

them time and time again.

Joey: 00:11:32

And if they would always find something to complain, well, eventually serpents

Joey: 00:11:37

that bit the children of Israel and they were dying and they were

Joey: 00:11:40

getting sick and dying and then they cried out for deliverance again.

Joey: 00:11:43

And so God has Moses lift up this serpent on a stick.

Joey: 00:11:46

And it all they had to do was look at it and what it obviously represented

Joey: 00:11:49

was the fact that Christ was going to come and he was gonna be lifted

Joey: 00:11:53

up so it represented that their deliverance was not gonna come from

Joey: 00:11:57

themselves, but from looking upon Christ.

Gio: 00:12:00

Once again, here's a symbol, a snake on a stick, representing

Gio: 00:12:05

that Jesus was gonna take the sins of the world, and by believing in

Gio: 00:12:09

him, we will be safe from our sins.

Gio: 00:12:11

Once again, a symbol wasn't just a symbol without having its representation.

Gio: 00:12:17

Here's a modern symbol.

Gio: 00:12:18

What does this symbol represent?

Gio: 00:12:20

, Joey: the Super

Gio: 00:12:20

Bowl , and the winner of the Super Bowl gets this trophy.

Gio: 00:12:24

They don't hand this trophy to anybody.

Gio: 00:12:28

They hand that trophy out to the winner.

Gio: 00:12:31

When somebody carries that trophy around and they own it, or are

Gio: 00:12:36

entitled to carry it around, it's because it means something.

Gio: 00:12:40

It has a reality behind it.

Gio: 00:12:43

What about this symbol?

Gio: 00:12:44

What does it mean?

Joey: 00:12:45

This one's a little bit more controversial, but, represents the

Joey: 00:12:48

organization of Black Lives Matter.

Joey: 00:12:49

and as we saw, it's had an influence in our society.

Gio: 00:12:53

you and I can agree with the statement.

Gio: 00:12:55

Black Lives matter, but we cannot agree with this symbol because it

Gio: 00:12:58

has Marxist ideology behind it.

Gio: 00:13:02

Speaking of which, we will be doing a future episode on Karl

Gio: 00:13:06

Marx and his negative influence on society, but nevertheless,

Gio: 00:13:11

this flag represents something.

Gio: 00:13:13

It's not just a flag with words.

Gio: 00:13:15

It has a whole organization behind it.

Gio: 00:13:18

What about this flag?

Gio: 00:13:20

What does it represent?

Joey: 00:13:21

Sexual pride.

Gio: 00:13:22

Once again, this flag is not just a symbol, it has a reality behind it.

Gio: 00:13:28

None of these symbols we have showed you so far do not

Gio: 00:13:32

have a corresponding reality.

Gio: 00:13:34

You may not believe in God, you may not believe in Christianity, but for

Gio: 00:13:39

the Christian, the symbols that we showed you that are Christian, have a

Gio: 00:13:42

reality, which is why I chose symbol.

Gio: 00:13:45

That are also non-Christian, like the Super Bowl, the Black Lives

Gio: 00:13:49

Matter flag, the pride flag.

Gio: 00:13:51

They have a reality behind it.

Gio: 00:13:53

These symbols stand for something.

Gio: 00:13:55

What does this symbol stand for?

Joey: 00:13:56

peace.

Gio: 00:13:57

Peace.

Gio: 00:13:58

And people who take this symbol seriously are just looking for.

Gio: 00:14:04

, When you flash that symbol, it's, Hey, I don't want any trouble, peace.

Gio: 00:14:08

Or in war time when it was used in the sixties, it was they were hoping

Gio: 00:14:13

for peace from the Vietnam War.

Gio: 00:14:15

What does this symbol represent?

Gio: 00:14:17

Love.

Gio: 00:14:18

Right love.

Gio: 00:14:19

Once again, couples do this.

Gio: 00:14:22

Matter of fact, that football player who had that cardiac arrest, he was well known

Gio: 00:14:28

for doing that symbol, showing that he had love for all the people who prayed for it.

Gio: 00:14:33

For him.

Gio: 00:14:34

Once again, I'm beating this like a dead bus or like a dead horse because

Gio: 00:14:39

I want to point out the symbols have a corresponding reality to.

Gio: 00:14:44

This symbol for Christians is what?

Joey: 00:14:49

The Lord Supper?

Joey: 00:14:49

It's a reminder of what Christ has done for us.

Joey: 00:14:53

Christ said the symbolism the bread represents his body,

Joey: 00:14:57

which was broken for us.

Joey: 00:14:58

And the wine or grape juice represents his blood that was spilled for us.

Gio: 00:15:02

And we do it right because as often as we do it, we proclaim

Gio: 00:15:07

the Lord's death, burial, and resurrection until he comes back again.

Gio: 00:15:11

So this symbol, whether you believe in Christianity or not,

Gio: 00:15:14

has a corresponding reality to it.

Gio: 00:15:16

so when we talk about symbols now look at this.

Gio: 00:15:20

Horus was often the ancient Egyptian's natural Patreon.

Gio: 00:15:24

God.

Gio: 00:15:24

He was usually depicted as a falcon headed man wearing the fink or a red

Gio: 00:15:29

and white crown as a symbol of kingship over the entire kingdom of Egypt.

Gio: 00:15:34

And we got that from Wiki.

Gio: 00:15:37

So look at this symbol.

Gio: 00:15:38

What is that?

Gio: 00:15:39

Do you recognize this one?

Joey: 00:15:40

Is that the all seeing.

Gio: 00:15:41

Yes.

Gio: 00:15:42

Or the eye of Horus is what they call, remember this symbol represents what

Gio: 00:15:49

the God and we saw in part one that Horus is corresponding to the Christian

Gio: 00:15:55

devil, counterpart to the devil.

Gio: 00:15:57

And so here we have this symbol and look at this quote.

Gio: 00:16:01

It says, the book of the law is careful to indicate the nature of the formula

Gio: 00:16:06

implied by the assertion that the reciting officer of the temple, the

Gio: 00:16:11

earth is horus we may then expect the new age to release mankind from its

Gio: 00:16:16

pretense of altruism, its obsession of fear and its consciousness of sin.

Gio: 00:16:22

That word sin is no longer in vocabulary today.

Gio: 00:16:26

And this was his stated goal to basically do away with the notion of sin.

Gio: 00:16:32

There is no need to develop the ethics of dilemma in detail for

Gio: 00:16:36

everything springs with absolute logic from the singular principle.

Gio: 00:16:40

Do what thou will, shall be the whole of the law.

Gio: 00:16:43

Or put it another way.

Gio: 00:16:44

There is no law beyond do what thou will and all has no right but to do thy

Gio: 00:16:49

will, the word of sin is restriction.

Gio: 00:16:52

It is a lie.

Gio: 00:16:53

This is folly against self.

Gio: 00:16:56

So if you notice the contrast is that there is no sin.

Gio: 00:16:59

There is nothing that will hold me accountable.

Gio: 00:17:01

There is no one I have to pay homage to.

Gio: 00:17:04

It's all about self, self, self, and that is gonna be detrimental to society and.

Gio: 00:17:12

Attitude is communicated in music artists today.

Gio: 00:17:18

Look at this quote.

Gio: 00:17:20

It says, the O.T.O Crowley's religion is possession of what?

Gio: 00:17:24

Supreme secret.

Gio: 00:17:25

The whole of its system is directed toward communicating to its members

Gio: 00:17:30

by progressively plain hints.

Gio: 00:17:32

This all important instruction and what is the all important instruction?

Gio: 00:17:39

Do what that will shall be the whole of the law.

Gio: 00:17:43

Now listen to what he says.

Gio: 00:17:44

He says, by progressively plain hints, this all important instruction, and

Gio: 00:17:50

the instruction is not complicated.

Gio: 00:17:51

Do what that will shall be the whole of the law.

Gio: 00:17:53

Let's start looking at.

Gio: 00:17:54

The all seen I, you see it in Bono.

Gio: 00:17:58

You see it in Eminem and m.

Gio: 00:17:59

Remember I stated earlier that these all artists will say they're unique.

Gio: 00:18:04

Yet here they all doing the same symbolism promoting what the one teaching do

Gio: 00:18:10

us that will is the whole of the law.

Gio: 00:18:12

Miley Cyrus.

Gio: 00:18:13

Here we have Christina Aguila.

Gio: 00:18:15

Britney Spears.

Gio: 00:18:16

This is Black eye peas, Rihanna, Celine Dion, and this is 6 66, the Baphomet

Gio: 00:18:23

symbol, listen to what it means.

Gio: 00:18:25

The serpent.

Gio: 00:18:25

Satan is not the enemy of man.

Gio: 00:18:27

This is Crowley speaking, but he who made Gods of our race, knowing

Gio: 00:18:31

good and evil, he bathed know thyself and taught initiation.

Gio: 00:18:35

He is the devil of the book of thought and his emblem is bk.

Gio: 00:18:39

He is therefore life and love.

Gio: 00:18:41

But moreover, his letter is I in the I, so that he is light and his zodiac

Gio: 00:18:46

image is Capricorns, that leaping goat whose attribute is liberty.

Joey: 00:18:51

I wanted to make a comment there.

Joey: 00:18:53

Go ahead.

Joey: 00:18:53

About something that I think is common, I love when he mentioned, capric and

Joey: 00:18:59

some of these things, and we're gonna flesh this out more, but these symbols.

Joey: 00:19:04

One thing that I've noticed, particularly among some of my peers

Joey: 00:19:08

is it's increasingly common to talk about your sign I'm a Libra, or

Joey: 00:19:12

I'm a this, or I'm a Sagittarius.

Joey: 00:19:15

And I know the majority of people doing this aren't thinking

Joey: 00:19:19

of these deeper connections.

Joey: 00:19:20

But I'm going back to him a lot, cuz he talks about this quite a bit.

Joey: 00:19:23

Michael Knowles of the Daily Wire, and he's talked about these signs

Joey: 00:19:27

and he's talked about like yoga and some of these things that we do

Joey: 00:19:30

unwittingly, but we are doing them and these are religious practices.

Joey: 00:19:35

And so I think that is something that we should keep in mind.

Joey: 00:19:38

That these symbols are not just meaningless things.

Joey: 00:19:41

They were developed for a reason with a particular cause.

Joey: 00:19:44

And so that's just something that jumped out at me as you were reading that quote.

Gio: 00:19:47

that's why I harped on so heavily that these symbols have

Gio: 00:19:51

a corresponding reality to them.

Gio: 00:19:53

Listen to these next quotes before we get into more examples.

Gio: 00:19:56

Look what Crowley says.

Gio: 00:19:57

This man was out there.

Gio: 00:19:59

He says, I was brought up in the other service, but I knew from the

Gio: 00:20:03

first that the devil was my natural master and captain and friend.

Gio: 00:20:06

I saw that he was in the right and that the world cringe to

Gio: 00:20:10

his conqueror only through fear.

Gio: 00:20:12

I prayed secretly to him and he comforted me and saved me from having my spirit

Gio: 00:20:17

broken in this house of children's tear.

Gio: 00:20:20

I promised him my soul and swore an oath that I will stand up for him in

Gio: 00:20:25

this world and stand by him in the next what's deceiving about this quote, and

Gio: 00:20:31

I'm gonna leave it up there, is that.

Gio: 00:20:34

He believes that there will be an afterlife for him.

Gio: 00:20:37

He believes that him and the devil are gonna rule in the next life.

Gio: 00:20:42

Look at this other quote, similar In my situation, I cannot dismiss the

Gio: 00:20:46

falsities of Christianity with a smile.

Gio: 00:20:50

I was compelled to fight fire with fire and to oppose their poison,

Gio: 00:20:54

poultice with poison daggers.

Gio: 00:20:58

So Crowley only fights against Christianity because he knows

Gio: 00:21:01

Christianity is the only true religion.

Gio: 00:21:04

He is just convinced that the enemy, the devil, is going to

Gio: 00:21:08

be victorious here on Earth.

Gio: 00:21:10

But that is so sad because we know that's not the truth.

Gio: 00:21:14

, look what he says here.

Gio: 00:21:15

Thus, apart from the stend value of the book of the law itself, it opens up a

Gio: 00:21:19

path of progress to mankind, which should eventually enable the race to strike off

Gio: 00:21:25

the feathers of mortality and transcend the limitations of its entanglement.

Gio: 00:21:31

With earth.

Gio: 00:21:32

What was the first lie of the devil?

Gio: 00:21:34

You will not die, And here he's talking about mortality and transcending limits.

Gio: 00:21:40

From our heritage.

Gio: 00:21:42

The Satanic agencies are constantly at work, sewing and watering the

Gio: 00:21:46

seeds of rebellion against the law of God, and Satan is gathering souls

Gio: 00:21:51

under his black banner of revolt.

Gio: 00:21:53

He forms a confederacy with human beings to contend against purity and holiness.

Gio: 00:21:59

He has worked diligent.

Gio: 00:22:01

Persevere, increasing the number who will confederate

Gio: 00:22:04

with him by his representation.

Gio: 00:22:06

He seeks to widen the distance between heaven and earth, and he grows into

Gio: 00:22:11

the conviction that he can wear out, the patience of God, distinguishes

Gio: 00:22:15

love for man, and bring condemnation upon the whole human family.

Gio: 00:22:20

Here we see in this quote.

Gio: 00:22:22

she correctly states that Satan aligns with humans, people like

Gio: 00:22:27

Crowley to bring disciples to try to separate them from God.

Gio: 00:22:33

And in a more succinct quote, she says this, Satan has been working to make

Gio: 00:22:38

the Gulf deep and impassable between earth and heaven by his falsehood.

Gio: 00:22:42

He has emboldened men in sin.

Gio: 00:22:44

It was his purpose to wear out the forbearance of God and to extinguish

Gio: 00:22:49

his love for man so that he would abandon the world to satanic

Gio: 00:22:53

jurisdiction and when you look.

Gio: 00:22:56

Crowley's teachings, that's exactly what he's teaching.

Gio: 00:23:00

He thinks that they are going to eventually take over this

Gio: 00:23:03

world and live happily ever after because God is gonna abandon it.

Gio: 00:23:08

Boy, do they have something else coming?

Joey: 00:23:10

I love the author that you mentioned, and I think we'll drop

Joey: 00:23:13

them links to the books for anyone who's more interested in where

Joey: 00:23:15

those quotes come from, but, I love this kind of background that we get

Joey: 00:23:20

here, but it's like, the answer to Crowley's thing and to the devil's

Joey: 00:23:24

plan here God's answer to it is Christ.

Joey: 00:23:27

So Satan thinks that if he can get man to go so far he can get God to abandon

Joey: 00:23:34

humanity, but he's wrong, the whole answer to it is in the cross of Christ.

Joey: 00:23:38

Christ said I would rather give up my divinity than not have these people that

Joey: 00:23:43

I created have the chance to live for me.

Joey: 00:23:46

And so I just think, ultimately it's good to know that in this battle, we

Joey: 00:23:50

have the God of the universe and our creator who's not going to abandon

Joey: 00:23:54

us, no matter the efforts of Satan.

Gio: 00:23:57

Yep.

Gio: 00:23:58

You will find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Gio: 00:24:01

Going back to those imagery.

Gio: 00:24:03

Remember, BFAT is a sign of devil.

Gio: 00:24:05

Here we have Kanye West.

Gio: 00:24:07

With that on his shirt.

Gio: 00:24:09

Here we have Beyonce in the I Am Tour.

Gio: 00:24:12

By the way.

Gio: 00:24:13

I am is a name for God in the Bible.

Gio: 00:24:16

I am who I am.

Gio: 00:24:18

Yet she titled her tour the I Am Tour.

Gio: 00:24:21

And if you look at her, Torso.

Gio: 00:24:23

There it is, the Baphomet sign, and she goes under the name Sasha

Gio: 00:24:29

Fierce it is her demonic spirit.

Gio: 00:24:31

She claims or her spirit that infuses her when she's in concert once again.

Gio: 00:24:36

Emphasizing the symbol of the eye of Horus with a corresponding reality in her life.

Gio: 00:24:42

Justin Bieber, another one.

Gio: 00:24:44

If you noticed the glasses, one of them is faded out.

Gio: 00:24:48

Once again, these symbols.

Gio: 00:24:50

Corresponding reality, and Crowley said that in plain sight, obvious

Gio: 00:24:55

symbols to teach others do what that will is a whole of the law.

Gio: 00:25:01

Here we have, once again, Christina Aguilera in different.

Gio: 00:25:04

Renditions making that same gesture.

Gio: 00:25:08

Justin Timberlake.

Gio: 00:25:09

These are all artists of different genres all doing the same thing.

Gio: 00:25:14

And look at the title of his album.

Gio: 00:25:17

Magic.

Gio: 00:25:18

Well, Crowley was big into magic.

Gio: 00:25:20

Look at alicia Keys.

Gio: 00:25:22

Same thing covering her eyes.

Gio: 00:25:25

Here's another symbol that Crowley talks about the.

Gio: 00:25:28

Describes the city of the pyramids whose queen is called Babylon,

Gio: 00:25:31

the scarlet woman, and whose hand is, uh, cup filled with the blood

Gio: 00:25:35

of the saints from the book.

Gio: 00:25:36

The Confessions of Alice Crowley once again, all these symbols in

Gio: 00:25:40

Christianity are evil symbols and yet Crowley uses them to push his agenda.

Gio: 00:25:46

The pyramid.

Gio: 00:25:47

This is a concert for Jay-Z and what is that?

Gio: 00:25:51

That is a pyramid.

Gio: 00:25:52

That's his stage is a pyramid.

Gio: 00:25:55

There he is doing the pyramid symbol, His followers doing it back to him.

Gio: 00:25:59

And remember, symbols are not just nothing.

Gio: 00:26:02

They have a corresponding teaching behind them or corresponding reality.

Gio: 00:26:08

. Here he is with Kanye West, Jay-Z.

Gio: 00:26:11

50 cents with the pyramid on his hat, and we saw Jay-Z with

Gio: 00:26:15

the Do As that Wilt shirt.

Gio: 00:26:17

Here's the Beatles Sergeant Pepper album with Crowley.

Gio: 00:26:20

In the album cover and a bunch of other mystics by the way, if you

Gio: 00:26:25

look at the history though, of this album Cover, they were actually

Gio: 00:26:28

gonna have Hitler on it as well, but they deemed that too controversial.

Gio: 00:26:32

Here they are, the Beatles other album, all of them covering their

Gio: 00:26:36

eye, making the sign of 6 66 and Baphomet john Lenon made the connection

Gio: 00:26:43

clear in an interview with Playboy when he said that the whole Beattles

Gio: 00:26:47

idea was to do what you want, right?

Gio: 00:26:49

Lennon was paraphrasing.

Gio: 00:26:51

Do what I will, which is one of the central precepts of Dilemma,

Gio: 00:26:55

the religion founded by Allister Crowley, even Michael Jackson.

Gio: 00:27:01

There you see in the album cover there in the front, in the tux.

Gio: 00:27:05

None other than Aleister Crowley why if this guy didn't mean nothing to them?

Gio: 00:27:13

Do all these artists participate in what he teaches?

Gio: 00:27:17

Listen to this quote.

Gio: 00:27:18

It is because he, Satan, has masked himself with consummate skill

Gio: 00:27:23

that the question is so widely.

Gio: 00:27:25

The such a being really exists.

Gio: 00:27:28

It is in evidence of his success that theories giving the lie to the

Gio: 00:27:31

plaintiff's testimony of scriptures are so generally received in the religious

Gio: 00:27:35

world, and it is because Satan can most readily control the minds of those

Gio: 00:27:40

who are unconscious of his influence.

Gio: 00:27:42

That the word of God gives us so many examples of his malignant work unveiling

Gio: 00:27:47

before us, his secret forces, and thus placing us on guard against his assaults.

Joey: 00:27:53

We see that, the devil, I would say has been fairly successful in our

Joey: 00:27:56

society of, Subverting I'm glad that we did our episode on natural law first.

Joey: 00:28:02

Because what we see Crowley and his followers and stuff subverting is that

Joey: 00:28:06

natural law is this natural desire in us for the right and the good.

Joey: 00:28:12

Like even though we're fallen, right, we still have that right.

Joey: 00:28:14

God has given us that conscience.

Joey: 00:28:16

and we see it in everything from.

Joey: 00:28:18

I think just even in recent memory, how the conversation has shifted around

Joey: 00:28:23

things like gay marriage, where in 2008, the Democratic nominee for president

Joey: 00:28:29

who won Barack Obama ran on a principle.

Joey: 00:28:33

of traditional marriage, marriage between a man and a woman.

Joey: 00:28:36

And we see that in a short amount of time.

Joey: 00:28:39

This principle of do what thou wilt applied to the marriage scenario has said,

Joey: 00:28:44

who are we to say that two men can't get married or two women can't get married?

Joey: 00:28:48

Who are we to say that people can't have a polyquwel that's not legal yet,

Joey: 00:28:52

but it's certainly there and it's.

Joey: 00:28:55

We've seen this progression.

Joey: 00:28:56

Satan has worked, to lessen the human heart's connection to the natural law.

Joey: 00:29:04

And I just think it's wreaking, deleterious effects on society.

Gio: 00:29:08

And that's why the Bible says this be sober be vigilant because your

Gio: 00:29:13

adversary, the devil, walks about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.

Gio: 00:29:17

People are getting caught up in things they shouldn't be caught up.

Gio: 00:29:20

All these movie artists and music artists caught up in the teachings

Gio: 00:29:24

of Crowley, who was an vowed Satanist and this from couple of years ago.

Gio: 00:29:29

Look what E Online said, which isn't a Christian news source that says, um,

Gio: 00:29:34

did we just witness actual witchcraft during Katie Perry's Grammy performance?

Gio: 00:29:39

they're not hiding it anymore.

Gio: 00:29:41

Just like Sam Smith last week.

Gio: 00:29:43

Here she is once again, and if you look at what this cross represents, the

Gio: 00:29:49

Knight's Templer was a medieval oc cult secret society that is considered to

Gio: 00:29:53

be the originator of free masonry, the Bavarian Illuminati, and the keepers of

Gio: 00:29:58

the Secrets of Sex Magic as practiced by Crowley's Oto, the Knight's Temple.

Gio: 00:30:03

Prosecuted due to their alleged worshiping of Baphomet and for practicing

Gio: 00:30:08

of witchcraft, Perry, wearing their cross is therefore very fitting.

Gio: 00:30:13

It also represent the occult elites philosophy as a whole.

Gio: 00:30:18

Once again, this, caters to the elite.

Gio: 00:30:21

The elite seem to be catching themselves up in this mess, and it's blatant.

Gio: 00:30:26

Look at this album.

Gio: 00:30:28

36 Mafia.

Gio: 00:30:29

Well, what is 36?

Gio: 00:30:30

6 66, which has always been a symbol of Satan

Joey: 00:30:35

You hear those

Joey: 00:30:35

stories

Gio: 00:30:36

about the Bluesmen to go out to the crossroads and sell their

Gio: 00:30:38

soul to the devil and come back all of a sudden able to do stuff.

Gio: 00:30:42

Robert Johnson, Tommy Johnson, that whole mythology was, was one of those

Gio: 00:30:45

kind of deals almost When he left Minneapolis, he was just average.

Gio: 00:30:50

You know, there was five, six other guys doing the same thing.

Gio: 00:30:53

When he came back.

Gio: 00:30:54

He's doing Woody and he was doing Van Rock and he was finger picking.

Gio: 00:30:57

He was.

Gio: 00:30:58

Cross, this is a matter of a

Joey: 00:31:00

couple of

Gio: 00:31:00

months.

Gio: 00:31:01

That's when I went to the crossroads and made a, a big deal, you know, like, yeah.

Gio: 00:31:09

One, one night and then, uh, went back to Minneapolis and I was like,

Gio: 00:31:14

Hey, uh, where's this guy been?

Gio: 00:31:16

You know, he's been to the crossroad.

Gio: 00:31:21

Why do you still do it?

Gio: 00:31:22

Why are you still out here?

Gio: 00:31:23

Well, it goes back to the destiny thing and I made it to bargain

Gio: 00:31:27

with it, you know, a long time ago.

Gio: 00:31:30

And I'm holding up my end.

Gio: 00:31:33

What was your bargain?

Gio: 00:31:35

To get where?

Gio: 00:31:36

Um, I am now.

Gio: 00:31:38

Should, should I ask who you made the bargain with

Gio: 00:31:42

With?

Gio: 00:31:42

With, with, with, you know, with the chief, uh, chief Commander

Gio: 00:31:46

on this earth, and this earth.

Gio: 00:31:49

And then, uh, and then in the world, we can't see, not many are as open

Gio: 00:31:53

about the crossroad experience with the devil as Bob Dylan.

Joey: 00:31:56

It's interesting how, explicit he was.

Gio: 00:31:59

they're not hiding it.

Gio: 00:32:00

And you saw that he said he made a deal with the prince of this world.

Gio: 00:32:05

That's exactly what Crowley is talking about.

Gio: 00:32:08

In some of those quotes we went, that they're gonna reign with Satan in

Gio: 00:32:13

this world and in the world to come.

Gio: 00:32:15

They're so sadly deceived and many people for peanuts of glory.

Gio: 00:32:20

In this lifetime are selling themselves out for what they perceive to be

Gio: 00:32:25

something better, but it's not

Gio: 00:32:27

Let's look at this next video.

Gio: 00:32:30

Very alarming as well.

Gio: 00:32:31

But Dylan isn't the only one.

Gio: 00:32:34

I sold my soul

Joey: 00:32:35

to the devil.

Joey: 00:32:37

I know

Gio: 00:32:37

it's a crappy deal, you know, in my time, you know, my day, Sinatra.

Gio: 00:32:43

So, you know, I try to live up today, you know, I get possessed by by the spirits.

Gio: 00:32:49

And I remember right before I performed, I raised my hands up and

Gio: 00:32:55

it was kind of the first time I.

Gio: 00:32:58

I felt something else come into me and I can sing notes and sing strong

Gio: 00:33:05

and do all these things that when I'm just by myself, I can't do it.

Gio: 00:33:10

I guess I wouldn't be very entertaining on the stage.

Gio: 00:33:13

So Sasha comes out and she's fearless.

Gio: 00:33:17

You know, she can, she can do things that I cannot do when I'm in rehears.

Gio: 00:33:22

I mean, I can try, but then it just doesn't happen because I swear I want

Gio: 00:33:25

it to be like the Amy Grand of music.

Gio: 00:33:27

Yeah, . But it didn't work out.

Gio: 00:33:29

And so I sold my soul to the devil.

Gio: 00:33:32

Sold my soul of the devil.

Joey: 00:33:33

Katie Perry, her parents.

Joey: 00:33:35

Actually claimed to be Christian pastors and she was raised, I

Joey: 00:33:38

believe, as a Pentecostal tradition.

Joey: 00:33:41

So I find, that's an interesting aspect to that

Gio: 00:33:43

as well.

Gio: 00:33:44

Not only that, these are well known artists.

Gio: 00:33:47

Bob Dylan, Jay-Z, Beyonce, famous with millions of following.

Gio: 00:33:53

people will say, oh, that's just shock value.

Gio: 00:33:55

No.

Gio: 00:33:56

Remember, these symbols have a corresponding reality and they

Gio: 00:33:59

talk openly about this and.

Gio: 00:34:02

They're preaching it.

Gio: 00:34:04

They're teaching it.

Gio: 00:34:04

If you read some of the lyrics to their songs, they're not hiding it.

Gio: 00:34:09

And it's sad because it all comes from the influence of Crowley, who we know

Gio: 00:34:15

was an vowed satanist, and yet these people are following the same lyrics we

Gio: 00:34:20

saw do as out wilt on Jay-Z's sweatshirt.

Gio: 00:34:24

And for those who don't think this has real world ramifications,

Gio: 00:34:28

when I did further Googling on this, it says, detectives searched the girls' homes

Gio: 00:34:32

and found a hand drawn map that included the phrase go to killing bathroom, which

Gio: 00:34:39

marked the bathroom where they were found.

Gio: 00:34:41

Police says one of the girls had also scrolled violent lyrics

Gio: 00:34:45

from Eminem and Florence, plus the machine on a sheet of paper.

Gio: 00:34:50

Photo show.

One sheet of notebook paper also included a short poem trying hard

Gio: 00:34:55

to leave, stuck in an endless abyss.

Gio: 00:34:58

Chloe, way out now photo show today is health lessons.

Gio: 00:35:03

Thanks, Satan.

Gio: 00:35:04

We're doing this in bit one note.

Gio: 00:35:06

Brad, for people who say this is just entertainers getting shock value out

Gio: 00:35:11

of it, it has real world ramifications, but we know it's not just shock value.

Gio: 00:35:16

There is a battle.

Gio: 00:35:18

We fight between good and evil and we're seeing the influence, and

Gio: 00:35:22

she mentioned Eminem, who is very popular, very mainstream in society.

Gio: 00:35:29

and his music influenced these girls in this suicide pact.

Joey: 00:35:33

That story is horrifying.

Joey: 00:35:34

What we've been saying, symbols, they have a meaning,

Joey: 00:35:37

I think we should steelman the other side real quick.

Joey: 00:35:40

People will say obviously, I'm sure mental.

Joey: 00:35:43

Had a component here, the majority of people who listen to Eminems

Joey: 00:35:47

songs don't go out in a suicide pact.

Joey: 00:35:51

But, I do think that we are seeing an epidemic of mental

Joey: 00:35:56

health, particularly among youth.

Joey: 00:35:58

And one thing that I've noticed, I'm a psychology student and one thing

Joey: 00:36:01

I noticed my professors Not so much.

Joey: 00:36:03

Now I'm at a Christian school, but I was at a public school before and everything

Joey: 00:36:07

has to have a material explanation.

Joey: 00:36:09

I just don't think that's reality.

Joey: 00:36:11

I think many things do, but I think when you have this spirit that's working behind

Joey: 00:36:15

the scenes, and you have Christianity lessening its impact on our society,

Joey: 00:36:19

and you have, through the work of people like Crowley and his disciples, you

Joey: 00:36:23

have the devil increasing is influence.

Joey: 00:36:25

It makes sense that people are going to be more depressed, gonna be more

Joey: 00:36:30

violent, what does the bible say?

Joey: 00:36:32

It says that in the last days, the love of many will grow cold, and

Joey: 00:36:36

we're seeing that all around.

Joey: 00:36:38

So even if it doesn't always, or even in most of the circumstances

Joey: 00:36:41

lead to a suicide pact, it is leading to a lot of misery and a lot of

Joey: 00:36:47

pain and a lot of meaninglessness.

Gio: 00:36:49

When you combine that with the video we did on Darwinism and we opened up

Gio: 00:36:54

this episode of showing the conclusions of Darwinism, when there is no God,

Gio: 00:36:59

when there is no hope, when there is no meaning, when life is blah, and then

Gio: 00:37:03

you combine that with things that push you to not feel good about yourself.

Gio: 00:37:08

Promiscuity drugs, Satan worship, because even if you didn't grow

Gio: 00:37:13

up Christian, you know Satan always symbolized something evil.

Gio: 00:37:16

No wonder you're left depressed and no wonder society is.

Gio: 00:37:20

Growing up without no hope.

Gio: 00:37:22

Yeah, it may not lead to suicide packs, but people are less happier today than

Gio: 00:37:28

they've ever been, and it's gonna continue to grow darker simply because they're not

Gio: 00:37:34

following after truth that which is noble.

Gio: 00:37:36

That which gives responsibility to the self and to the duties we owe society.

Gio: 00:37:42

And it is sad because this man's influence is going to be

Gio: 00:37:46

dismissed, but at whose peril?

Gio: 00:37:49

Your own peril and Joey and I's appeal is that we are Christians.

Gio: 00:37:53

We believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Gio: 00:37:56

You may not wanna believe in him as your personal Lord and Savior, but I, I

Gio: 00:38:01

encourage you to follow his teachings, live the way he taught, even if you

Gio: 00:38:06

don't believe in his divinity, and you will come to a point where you

Gio: 00:38:10

will see it's better for your life

Gio: 00:38:12

and my hope is that then you will surrender your life to his.

Gio: 00:38:15

But his teachings is the best.

Gio: 00:38:18

Joey, before I wrap up, any closing thoughts that you wanna say?

Gio: 00:38:22

So

Joey: 00:38:22

I'm gonna read this passage from Second Peter three, which

Joey: 00:38:26

says He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but

Joey: 00:38:30

everyone to come to repentance.

Joey: 00:38:32

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief.

Joey: 00:38:34

The heavens will disappear with a roar.

Joey: 00:38:36

The elements will be destroyed by fire in the and everything

Joey: 00:38:39

in it will be laid bare.

Joey: 00:38:41

And the reason why I wanted to bring that quote up is because as we've talked

Joey: 00:38:44

about a lot of dark things and themes that are happening in our society and the

Joey: 00:38:49

influence of Alistair Crowley, I want to remind our audience that as Christians,

Joey: 00:38:53

like Gio and I are as Protestant Christians, we believe that God loves you.

Joey: 00:38:58

He doesn't want anyone to be lost, as we see things get darker, sometimes people

Joey: 00:39:03

can lose hope that there is a good God out there and think, why doesn't he just come?

Joey: 00:39:08

Why doesn't he end this?

Joey: 00:39:09

And the reason is what we read there.

Joey: 00:39:11

He doesn't want anyone to be lost, so he's not gonna come, he's not gonna wrap things

Joey: 00:39:15

up while there's any soul that would still choose him that hasn't chosen him.

Joey: 00:39:21

And so I think that's just a good perspective to keep in mind as we wrap up.

Joey: 00:39:25

. Gio: And that's a good segue to, end

Joey: 00:39:29

Jesus is inviting all of you who are listening, come to me, all you who labor

Joey: 00:39:34

and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest if you want true rest for your soul.

Joey: 00:39:40

If you want a future and a hope, then you need to learn and have

Joey: 00:39:44

a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Joey: 00:39:46

Forget about religion at the moment.

Joey: 00:39:48

Just grab your Bible, pray.

Joey: 00:39:51

To God, asking him for wisdom, and you will find a peace

Joey: 00:39:54

that passes all understanding.

Joey: 00:39:56

I know we're not a Bible thumping podcast, but we will be derelict of duty

Joey: 00:40:01

if we don't point you to the source of our peace, to the source of our happiness,

Joey: 00:40:05

and to the source of our future.

Joey: 00:40:07

We have the hope that even though the world around us is getting bleaker

Joey: 00:40:11

and darker, based on the teachings of Aleister Crowley, we know how the story

Joey: 00:40:16

ends and the story ends in victory for those who pursue the truth no matter what.

Joey: 00:40:22

And in our case, we know that truth to be Jesus Christ.

Joey: 00:40:25

Joey, once again, thank you for a great discussion and I
