After LA Marzulli gave his talk to the Vancouver UFO Meetup (), the rest of us carried on for 2.5 hours more. This is the next part. At minute 23:00 I talked about @AjahnPunnadhammo. Gordy Tong sent me this on Dec. 2, 2023: Carl Teichrib: Interfaithism: Uniting Religions for One World > > More about our annual Conference: > > Watch the Conference Live or Later: > > Youtube: > Rumble: > Roku: > In our app: > In our conference podcasts: > Carl is a researcher, writer, and lecturer focusing on the paradigm shift sweeping the Western world, including the challenges and opportunities faced by Christians. Over the years he has attended a range of internationally significant political, religious, and social events in his quest to understand the historical and contemporary forces of transformation – including the Parliament of the Worlds Religions, Burning Man, and the United Nations Millennium Forum. Carl’s biases are transparent: he embraces an evangelical Christian perspective, is pro-liberty versus politically imposed equality, pro-individualistic versus consensus collectivism, and pro-free market. Carl’s website: Transcript: Carl: Well, good afternoon, everybody! I’m excited to be with you today. It’s going to be a great couple of days, and we are going to be diving into some interesting topics in my power points. You’re going to see that I’ll be dealing today with the Parliament of World Religions, which just took place last week. And so the Parliament ended on Friday, last week Friday, and I visited some friends down in Indianapolis, and then afterwards, on Monday, began the drive across to your part of the US! And so, today, we’ll be talking about interfaithism, taking a look specifically at the Parliament of World Religions and its influence. So, I’m a “boots-on-the-ground” kind of guy. I go to where the action is. One of the things that I took away as a young man, as a young researcher, in terms of trying to understand how the world operates, and I took it away from Dave Hunt, was the importance of (1) Go to the Word of God. For us, that’s our source. And then, when you’re doing research, go to the first source. Go right to the source! Correct? That’s what you do. And so, I never, ever imagined in my younger life that I would be doing this kind of work. That wasn’t in my vision at all! And so I have no formal training in research work, and I just thought, Well, if you’re engaging in the research, what do you do? You go to the source. And so today and tomorrow, I’ll be taking you to the source, in the realm of two areas: “Interfaithism,” and then tomorrow “Transformational Culture” specific to the Burning Man community. And along the way over the years I have attended oodles and oodles and oodles of events from Wiccan gatherings, to Transhumanist meetings, to the United Nations Millennium Forum. Rarely have I gone as press. I maybe have gone one time as press. That’s right, it would have been one time. The rest has been just simply as somebody who is coming in as an observer. So, we’re going to jump into a couple of passages to set the stage, to give us a sense of where we need to go, and what we need to consider. Psalm 148 is a beautiful passage. It’s a passage of praise. It’s a passage of recognizing who our Lord and Savior is. And notice how in this passage, God is the same as nature? No! Not at all. Not at all. This is the opposite of what the Apostle Paul was writing about in Romans chapter 1, where “we worship and serve the creation rather than the Creator.” This is the opposite. This is the biblical approach: “Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from the heavens. Praise Him in the heights above. Praise Him, all His angels. Praise Him, all His heavenly hosts. Praise Him, sun and moon. Praise Him, all you shining stars. Praise Him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies. Let them praise the name of the Lord, for at His command they were created, and He established them forever and ever. He issued a decree that will never pass away. Praise the Lord from the earth, you great sea creatures, and all the depths: fire and hail, snow and clouds, stormy wind fulfilling His Word. Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars. Beasts and all cattle.” (Do you get the point? Yes! Awesome!) “Creeping things and flying fowl, Kings of the earth...
