I am not stressed at all. This is all going extremely well in my view. Congress and the Senate will get their opportunity on January 6th to do the right thing. Then it will be over to the DoD to prosecute this legion of treasonous traitors.

Likewise; I've been slightly impatient but not stressed. It's fascinating.

Me too. I am actually not disinterested, but less obsessed than I was when I first starting looking into all of this. The outcome feels pre-determined to me. I feel like the day to day details don't really matter that much. Not how I was even two months ago.

Made a post like this.
Jan 6.
Nothing has been stolen yet, thus no crime yet.
Can't arrest with no crime.
The fireworks kick off Jan 6 or thereabouts.
I expect a big Christmas surprise for Q followers.

Row row row your boat gently down the stream. Merrily merrily merrily merrily, life is but a dream.
Very poignant lyrics.
Time stream.
Life a dream.
I've got memories of my previous lives.
When I had the mushrooms I "woke up" and said, "hmm, last time their were horse and carriages"

I regard this notion as a form of neo-gnostic magical thinking. (Keeping in mind that the word "gnostic" is misused by humans, as they misuse many words.) It's an evidence-free tale told to excuse oneself from not actually caring about great horrors in the world.
Viz.:
Oh, that innocent/guilty person is being gang-raped and dismembered in prison in order so that their soul can experience its full flourishing. How truly beautiful!
Perhaps we should just make the entire world into an open-air, all-ages dismembering gang-rape pit, that way everyone can learn the most vital of spiritual truths! (And such open-air proceedings have actually occurred in many countries already within our lifetimes, so we're not really speaking hypothetically.) Why not?
Hey, serial-killers aren't actually bad people, they're just helpful spiritual guides here to give people--including children--existential growing-lessons! You know, with their heads off, in shallow graves. Don't imprison them, by Golly, award them medals!

Whereas here is actual gnosis:
Christianity is objectively correct so far as can be rationally known, and to the extent that other religions/philosophies contradict it, to that extent they are incorrect. The totality of all science has been a mostly-unwitting exercise in proving Christianity correct. The people who developed the various fields of modern science for the most part weren't consciously attempting to prove Christianity true, yet they nonetheless ended up doing so. To wit:
God's existence is a mathematical theorem within standard physics. Standard physics is the known laws of physics, viz., the Second Law of Thermodynamics, General Relativity, and Quantum Mechanics. This theorem has been given in the form of physicist and mathematician Prof. Frank J. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology. These aforestated known physical laws have been confirmed by every experiment conducted to date. Hence, the only way to avoid Tipler's Omega Point Theorem is to reject empirical science. As Prof. Stephen Hawking wrote, "one cannot really argue with a mathematical theorem." (From p. 67 of Stephen Hawking, The Illustrated A Brief History of Time [New York, NY: Bantam Books, 1996; 1st ed., 1988].)
Prof. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology has been extensively peer-reviewed and published in a number of the world's leading physics and science journals, such as Reports on Progress in Physics (the leading journal of the Institute of Physics, Britain's main professional organization for physicists), Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (one of the world's leading astrophysics journals), the International Journal of Theoretical Physics (a journal that Nobel Prize in Physics winner Richard Feynman also published in), and Physics Letters, among other journals.
Prof. Tipler's Ph.D. is in the field of Global General Relativity, which is the field created by Profs. Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose during the formulation of their Singularity Theorems in the 1960s. Global General Relativity is General Relativity applied on the scale of the entire universe as a whole, and is the most elite and rarefied field of physics. Tipler is also an expert in quantum field theory (i.e., Quantum Mechanics combined with special-relativistic particle physics) and computer theory.
For much more on Prof. Tipler's Omega Point cosmology and the details on how it uniquely conforms to, and precisely matches, the cosmology described in the New Testament, see my following article, which also addresses the societal implications of the Omega Point cosmology:
Additionally, in the below resource are different sections which contain some helpful notes and commentary by me pertaining to multimedia wherein Prof. Tipler explains the Omega Point cosmology and the Feynman-DeWitt-Weinberg quantum gravity/Standard Model Theory of Everything (TOE).
Also, to here point out, Profs. Hawking and Penrose's aforementioned Singularity Theorems are themselves completely valid proofs of God's existence in the First Cause aspect of Him.
Further, due to Liouville's Theorem in complex analysis, it doesn't matter what form of physics one resorts to, as any physically-realistic cosmology (e.g., one capable of incorporating Quantum Mechanics, since the complex number field is intrinsic to the mathematical formulations of Quantum Mechanics) must begin at an initial singularity and end at a final singularity. (As Barrow and Tipler wrote, "Initial and final cosmological curvature singularities are required to avoid a universal action singularity." See John D. Barrow and Frank J. Tipler, "Action principles in nature", Nature, Vol. 331, No. 6151 [Jan. 7, 1988], pp. 31-34; see also Frank J. Tipler, "The Structure of the Classical Cosmological Singularity", in Origin and Early History of the Universe: Proceedings of the 26th Liège International Astrophyscial Colloquium, July 1-4, 1986 [Cointe-Ougree, Belgium: Universite de Liege, Institut d'Astrophysique, 1987], pp. 339-359; "Discussion", pp. 360-361.)

For the historical reliability of Jesus Christ's bodily resurrection and the untenability of theories which deny his resurrection, see:
For more on the historicity of Jesus Christ's resurrection, see William Lane Craig, Reasonable Faith: Christian Truth and Apologetics (Wheaton, Ill.: Crossway Books, 3rd ed., 2008), Ch. 8: "The Resurrection of Jesus", pp. 333-404, particularly pp. 360 ff.
Regarding the Christ myth theory, virtually all the items which the Christ myth theorists claim as facts which show the parallels of Christianity with earlier pagan religions are completely fabricated modern claims that can't be found in the historical record. For an excellent discussion on this, see the following video:
The above video is an interview of James Patrick Holding (editor of Shattering the Christ Myth: Did Jesus Not Exist? [Maitland, Fla.: Xulon Press, 2008], amazon.com/dp/1606472712 ) by Dr. Craig Johnson on the topic of the Christ myth theory. See also the below resources regarding the Christ myth theory on J. P. Holding's website:

The below is an excellent lecture by neuroscientist Dr. Sam Harris, one of the main leaders of the New Atheist movement, at a June 2016 TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference.
As Dr. Harris points out, unless there is something literally magic about the operations of the brain, then it is a purely physical process that can be replicated via advanced-enough technology. Harris further points out that given any rate of progress, it is inevitable that superintelligent godlike machines will one day be constructed. So Harris believes in the existence of gods, it's just that he knows--as do I--that they exist in the future; and the not-so-distant future, at that. Therefore we come to the ironic insight that materialistic atheism, consistently applied, unavoidably results in theism. Consistent scientific atheism turns out to be theism.

This is new age garbage. We don't pick the lives we live. That's the most brutally retarded idea anyone ever had.
Space Ghost: "when I'm born, I want to be born in a garbage dump in India, get raped at 5 months old, and be sawed to pieces"
Or:
Space Ghost: "I want to sit in a womb for 7 months and then get torn to shreds by an abortionist".

You are mistaken. We are guided in the choice of life in order to have one or more specific learning experiences. We have amnesia so we don't remember previous lives. We reincarnate hundreds or even thousands of times. (Some of us are advanced souls on the last incarnation.)
[–] 26810401? points 3 points points (+3|-0) ago
lies you tell yourself to make yourself feel superior. "Well, I know all of this, because I, myself am an advanced soul." you tell yourself. Reincarnation is a lie from satan. The same type of lies that are in the "transgender" movement. Denying your humanity. Denying who you are at your CORE. "previous lives" = the bonds you form are meaningless, nothing. Nothing is sacred. Human bonds are vapor, here today, gone tomorrow. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Creator would not NEED for us to be lied to, The Creator would not NEED for us to LIVE A LIE (amnesia, not knowing who you "were" or who you "are") in order to teach us ,in order for us to learn.
What you are preaching, and yes, you ARE preaching....is blasphemy.

^this.
And we come back more times than you can imagine, actually. We choose crappy scenarios sometimes because we want to accomplish something that we think will happen in that crappy scenario. Hard to imagine when you think about the limited, this-life-only perspective. But if you consider what you'd do if you were an eternal being who had a highly valuable goal (like say, evolving forgiveness or empathy), maybe putting yourself into a really crappy life would seem reasonable. Consider that you may not achieve your goal in that life but rather in the space between lives or in the next...
We understand people going in for surgery or hitting the gym hard, working insane hours, throwing themselves in front of a bullet to protect others... all things that show a willingness to sacrifice personal comfort to achieve a goal.
Is it so hard to imagine that this tendency could be taken to extremes if you know you won't really be hurt, because once you're back on the other side of the veil, all your suffering will become an abstraction?
Would you willingly submit yourself to a horrible nightmare if you knew you'd be permanently happier when you woke up?

Not new age garbage.
God made man in his own image. God has plans and goals, just like man. Sometimes those goals have involved risks or suffering, but the eternal souls who incarnate are always willing participants. God protects our free will aggressively, and He would never force someone to accept a life against their will. Fortunately, there have always been plenty of volunteers. We forget that we thought it was a good idea once we get here, because we forget everything.
Sometimes even very flawed people volunteer to do awful things so they can achieve something high-value. Think about people who have volunteered for dangerous military missions or who expose themselves to deadly radiation in order to stop a nuclear meltdown. We do the same thing as "space ghosts"—except that from there, we know we'll be fine in the end, which makes it a little too easy to sign up for a truly nasty "mission."
And if you substitute "eternal soul" for "space ghost," you may find this all a bit more palatable.
