These are fairly obvious observations from someone that has lived a life that is more full than most for over half a century.
But the disconnect from objective reality is so huge in most humans today , and especially so for younger generations, that it may well be information that needs to be spelt out even if the idea seems absurd to me.
The things that really matter
1. Your relationships and how you acted in them. No one regrets not spending enough time on their phone or at the office or commuting. But if you get to be 98 on your rocking chair, how you acted, or failed to act, towards people you love is going to be something that you do think about.
2. Unless you have had a particularly tragic life, and even then, if you’re mentally healthy, you’ll remember more of the good things done to you than the bad. And so you should. Shrug of pain and bad events as quickly and as thoroughly as you can. And savour and enjoy the beautiful moments as deeply and thoroughly as you can, regardless of how fleeting. Nor get overly melancholy or sentimental when the good moments end.
3. Your spiritual dimension is more important and more indicative of what your life will be like than your secular, materialistic perspective might fool you into thinking.
4. The family you make should take precedence over the one you come from, though, if you come from a good one, the two can (and ideally should) become a larger version of a broader whole as they blend.
5. Your children are more important than either you or wife. A wife that understands and specifically acts accordingly in this regard is a good find.
6. Divorce is a sin of selfishness and should be outlawed. Until then, it is to be avoided. If you marry only sedevacantist catholics, divorce is almost certainly not going to be an issue.
7. Care a LOT LESS about:
A) What people think of you.
B) Your career and/or career path
C) Ephemeral technology
8. And a LOT MORE about:
A) spending time with your children
B) spending more time with your wife or husband
C) spending time with relatives, friends or even total stranger whose company you enjoy.
9. Do what needs doing to, as best you can, secure a life free of autocratic, bureaucratic, stupid, unnecessary politicians and their self-serving rules. Try to create a society that is free of pettiness, corruption, lies, falsehood and instead is just, true, honest, honourable and beautiful.
10. As best you can, fight corruption and evil wherever you find it. I certainly crippled my earning potential and long-term career for exposing the kind of corruption that ruins lives and businesses for pure greed at least a few times in my life. The awareness of certain crimes cannot be left unpunished, doing so leads to the criminals that form government to become ever more blatant in their lawlessness, hence the current situation globally.
11. Educate yourself about what is really inside EVERY vaccine, not just the genetic serums of covid. In fact educate yourself about every medicine you are given or supposed to take and try to replace every one with a natural, literally home grown remedy where possible, and learn where it is and isn’t possible. The last 3 years have demonstrated clearly that the medical profession is mostly filled with either totally corrupt potential mass-murderers, or retarded incompetents. If you find an honest actual doctor, hang on to him or her for dear life.
12. Homeschool. Modern education is nothing more than the brainwashing mill of clown world. Teach your children the classics and the basics. Makes sure they know their roots and the history of their people as well as are able to read, write and do as much math as possible. Do not neglect music, art, language and physical exercise such as dance, sport, exploration and hiking. You can do worse, as a starting point, than signing up for Kurgan TV.
13. Learn as much and as far of your family history as you can. Write it down and pass it on to your children and relatives, so in turn they can continue to add to it when you are gone. Nominate people to carry on this tradition.
14. Be mindful of traditions but also aware of the changes in the world. Good analogies are Latin, an essentially dead language that is nevertheless kept up to speed with modern words and continues to evolve with new words added to it. Similarly, the real Catholic Religion (sedevacantists are the only Catholics left) is both immutable in its divine laws and flexibly adaptable to modern circumstances, meaning NOT that it adapts to the world, but rather finds a way to retain its immutable divine truths alive even in an increasingly corrupt, bent, evil world, and finds a way to survive, and then thrive, and rise again.
15. Learn and teach your children the arts of war. Learn about violence in history as well as the present. Get rid of the Satanic idea that “violence is always wrong and never the answer”. Violence may never be spiritually ideal, but is often materially required and for good reason. And sometimes violence is not only the answer, but the only answer. Faced with the prospect of allowing violence to be done to an innocent child, your intent to stop that from happening can, and at times must, include violence. And remember that unlike in the fake “christianity” of the Bergoglian fake “catholic” church as well as many other “christian” denominations, in actual Catholicism, the defence of the innocent, of any age, is not just a good idea, it is a physical duty. And that duty can and does include the use of force when required. Even in a pre-emptive capacity. In other words, you don’t need to wait to be shot at first, or for your child to be physically raped, before you act to stop such events from happening. The rules of violence and when it is permissible and even required to be used for Justice, Truth, Love, and Beauty are not difficult to understand and remain the same as they always have been, despite the mass brainwashing everyone has been subjected to for many decades now. The death penalty for certain crimes MUST be reinstated, as actual law, in all civilised countries. So act in such a way to bring such laws back into use. Some crimes must have the ultimate punishment of death, for the dignity of the victims of certain crimes, and hence ultimately for the dignity and sanity of society at large. We cannot limit the punishment of certain atrocities to be mere life imprisonment. The calculated murder and torture of children for example, is one such crime for which even Jesus, specifically stated it would be best for such perpetrators to be drowned in the sea. If it’s good enough for God, it is certainly good enough for us.
16. If you are an agnostic, an atheist, a pagan, a churchian, a generically doubtful and skeptical person, study and learn the history of Christianity, which is actually the history of Catholicism. You can do worse that starting with my short book Believe! After all I wrote it specifically for that reason, as an ex atheist and ex agnostic, and briefly, ex deist, I certainly understand the resistance to what seems, at first glance, the absurdity of Christianity. And it only takes a couple of hours to read. You can then proceed to read some, or preferably all, of these books, in the order given below, and if after that you still think Catholicism is not the answer, then, well, good luck to you. As Jesus would put it, I dust my sandals off and move on.
And if after all that you want to know where to find a real Church, then go to luxvera.org to find the one closest to you.
If you want to help, support, or become part of such a community, then see The Kurganate and explore that site and then get involved in real life however you can, be it with support from a distance, or becoming a sedevacantist and physically moving nearby. The more such communities we create around the world, the sooner sanity returns to all.
17. Regardless of what you ultimately choose, know these 3 things:
God is Love.
God Loves YOU.
You, love God. Do it. Not just as a theoretical “truth” but rather feel love inside of you and direct it towards God, regularly, and see the effects this has on your life.
18. For men, realise that the best life can be had by making a family and providing for them and being respected and loved by them for being a good husband, a good father and a good leader and protector.
19. For women, realise that the best life can be had by making a family and nurturing and taking care of them and being revered and loved by them for being a good wife, a good mother, the refuge from the storm and the world outside.
20. Be observant. Notice the beauty and perfection of a tiny bug, a blade of grass, a small pebble or shell, and the majesty of the clouds, of a sunset and a sunrise, of the trillions of stars and planets above, of the beauty of night and the glory of the day. Of nature at large and your family in it. And remember that no matter how terrible things might be in any given minute, God is real and if you but look, you can see, feel, hear, taste, smell and know His love. And at first, certainly, being loved so thoroughly, unconditionally and undeservedly, it hurts. Do not be surprised if you find tears and shame pouring out of your eyes while looking at a sunrise in the dawn. Or the smile of your first child at you when they are still a baby. Love can, and does hurt. Especially if you have been as wrong and lived as hard as people like me do and have. And it is a good hurt. It is a purifying and gentle flame. Accept it and don’t hide from it.
Good luck to you Pilgrim. I truly wish you the best and all of God’s Grace upon you.
