The Frequencies of Reality w/ Former Occultist Jesse Dowdrick Ep 34 Pt 1

One of the main beliefs in modern physics about the very fabric of the universe is that it's based on vibrating strings: String Theory. The important factor is that everything vibrates at a certain frequency. Some of these we can feel, a few we can see, but many we can definitely hear. So, is it any belief that these frequencies create resonance with other frequencies? If everything is a frequency - even us - it should not be strange that different things interact with us in different ways. Toda...

Russell Brand: Christianity or PR Campaign? - CosmoVision Ep 13

Russell Brand- Throughout his life in the public eye, he has always been a force to which people gravitate. He started as a celebrity actor who was keen on Hedonism as a lens through which to view his worldview. When he worked and moved in the Hollywood world, he was beloved by all. But, seeming to find no real solace in the empty, and ultimately, nihilistic outcome that Hedonism inevitably leads to, he turned away from that world and started to seek an enlightened path through New Age mysticism...

Enneagrams, Automatic Writing, and… Spirit Channeling? Ep 33 - Part 2

If you watched the previous episode, you’ll know that the Enneagram is a far cry from just a “personality test.” It is riddled with, at the very least, New Age tropes and connections that lead one away from Jesus and make them dependent on the Enneagram for truth and a filter through which to see the gospel. However, did you EVER think it might have something to do with the Ancient Egyptian Ennead— that is, “The Council of Nine”? Perhaps you’re asking yourself, “Ricky and Shelley, have you guys ...

Enneagram: Self-Help Tool or Self-Realization Tool? Pt 1

The Enneagram: A seemingly harmless shape used to give personality profiles a visual representation and determine how they interact with other personality types, right? NOT. EVEN. CLOSE. Most Christians don’t give any real thought or consideration to such a seemingly innocuous geometric scribble. In fact, it is used by many individuals to find “new ways” of doing church together. Even Zondervan Books has backed and published works about the Enneagram which hails it as a way to “Interpret the Enn...

The Red Heifers and The Apocalypse - CosmoVision Ep 12

The Red Heifers and The Apocalypse - CosmoVision Ep 12 The Red Heifers. What are they? What can be said of them? Why are they important? Do they really have apocalyptic implications? The short answer to their apocalyptic quality is almost assuredly a resounding, “Yes.” Numbers 19 starts with an explanation for the sacrifice of a completely red heifer (female calf). This red heifer is to be used for ritual cleansing. However, there are some very surprising aspects about this calf: IT. MUST. BE. I...

Can Death Metal Serve God's Plan? - (Subtitled from Spanish) Episode 32

Music: It is a deep form of expression and identification. Its very frequencies affect our mood, spiritual health, attitude, self-perception among other countless other psychological and social aspects of our very being. But, can it be an entire defining factor for an individual; a group of people; or even a church?! The answer is a resounding, “Yes.” Pastor Miguel Martinez, a Metal-Head Pastor from the endless metropolis of Mexico City, shares all about how God took him from blasphemous atheist...

Touched by the Darkness w Jesse Dowdrick - Episode 31

Witchcraft. Most of us only have a Hollywood concept of this: The three old hags from Hocus Pocus; the cauldron boiling over; the wizards from Harry Potter; the love spells, and so on... But seldom do we discuss the potent negative effects of witchcraft. The dark evil that lurks in wait for us if we play with it: The evil that waits to destroy our family should one misspeak a spell; the evil that patiently baits one deeper into it's clutches; the vile creatures that do not sleep, nor slumber rea...

Generational Contacts - CTDW Ep 30

Is our life under Contract? #contracts #thehiddenday #thechristiantheologicaldarkweb #thectdw #generationalcontracts #jesus #bible #Christianity Many of us think of our house, our cars, our bank accounts... etc, as having a contract on them. What we frequently do not think about is our very lives having a contract. We know there are certain rules of engagement within our respective societies. However, we are often unfamiliar with contracts being on our souls, bodies and lives. This is such a for...

Earth: Axis Universum - CTDW Episode 29

Is the universe truly heliocentric? Is light really the cosmic speed limit? Is there a bottom to the universe? Is the speed of light a constant? Was Einstein’s theory of special relativity the only conclusion that he came to? In this episode, The CTDW welcomes on David Paxton from “The Hidden Day” to discuss ideas, ranging from Flat Earth to the nature of light and the universe itself. We dive into some interesting questions, both scientifically and theologically. Is there merit to any of these ...

How old are portals? How old are Stargates? Did the Ancients have them? The more we research in modern culture, the more we find they clearly did. The question here is, what is our understanding of the portals/Stargates? Countless prehistoric cultures recount their interaction with "Star People," "Star Travelers," and even "Star Ancestors!" What a peculiar phenomenon! Or is it?... Today we deep dive into portals of antiquity and mystery. We ask questions as to what exactly portals are and/or can...

Is Israel still Important to God? - CosmoVision Ep 11

The Ancient land of Israel; it was long ago promised to the Hebrews journeying out of Egypt after four centuries of captivity by their singular sovereign deity: YHWH (Yahweh). The Israelites were commissioned by their God to drive out the hybrid giants from these lands, that the giants had been inhabiting, and so take them as their own. Thus they battled demigods, demonically empowered humans, giants and many other feats unimaginable, in order to obtain their lands. As they moved into these new ...

WATER. It is a simple enough elemental liquid that we give almost no real thought to. Yet, this substance literally gives life. Some say that there is more than meets the eye with this common elixir. Some say it holds the ability to remember. Some say it is a deity. Others say that it is a spiritual activator and force. Still others say that it is a portal itself. There are even those that believe it can be imbued with the power to grant eternal youth! Of course, there are also those say that al...

It also refers to some of them loosing their estate and having to remove these heavenly garments as a consequence for their treachery.

New Mourning on Maui (Eminent Domain) - CosmoVision Episode 9

Humans can be overwhelmingly evil. Governments are there finest weaponry all molded into one statue of evil. In the last two months, we have witnessed one of, if not the most, horrific mass fires in modern history. Not only was there massive death (not being reported or, apparently, counted at all), but there is also the issue of the very real possibility that these fires were intentional. Where are we talking about?: Maui, Hawaii. This is not a new concept to anyone. We all know about this trag...

But what place remains unexplored?— the Inner Earth. Your first reaction is possibly a scoff.

Certainly not! But we can at least be led by the scripture w...

Neither does the news offer resolution or solace with the common man. Companies play no more of a role in the individual's life than seeing them as a source of earnings.
