Priests invented Christian/Catholic hell


(Beyond Sacred Beliefs) 7 lies about hell so absurd the Church never dares to explain Jewish Sheol (like the gloomy and shadowy "hells" of many religions), ancient Greek Hades (the Greek underworld), not "hell" but the eternal afterlife of sleep, quiet, cold, or doom like Jewish Abaddon and Greek Apollyon. The "Gates of Gehenna" were literal gates of the municipal dump where the poor unable to afford or those deemed unworthy of a "proper" burial were therefore disgraced by getting thrown into. There they (their carcasses now bereft of life) were "eaten by worms" in ignominy, surrounded by sulfuric smells and smoldering smoke day and night along with the gnashing of dead teeth, ground up into waste amid the lamenting wails of loved ones. How many lies have we been told by the official Church?

Bruce Lee fights girl? Shaolin kung fu


(Bruce Lee: The Hidden Legacy) Bruce Lee was challenged by a 240-pound Dutch female kickboxing champion | Amsterdam Ring Victory

(SportEye) They thought Bruce Lee was acting...until this
 
Shaolin Buddhist monastery kung fu

She tried Shaolin kung fu training for just 24 hours; it broke her
How hard could it be? Even pandas can do it!
SportEye(SportEye) Aug. 14, 2026: What happens when an ordinary woman spends 24 hours training like a Shaolin Buddhist monk? She arrived expecting difficult martial arts exercises.

Instead, she faced flexibility training, brutal balance drills, sprint intervals, explosive leg exercises, handstands, strength conditioning, and physical challenges designed to push both the body and mind beyond their comfort zone.

Shaolin Temple is where we learn to fly.
But Shaolin training isn't simply about becoming stronger. It's about learning to remain calm when the body is exhausted, controlling breathing under pressure, and continuing when the mind says to stop.

Discipline, dedication, and monastic rules all help
From painful flexibility exercises to balancing on narrow wooden posts and navigating stairs upside down, this 24-hour experience reveals why Shaolin training is about far more than flashy kung fu.

This is what happens when an outsider experiences the discipline behind one of the world's most legendary martial arts traditions. #kungfu #martialarts #shaolin #monk #training #power

See Led Zep's Robert Plant live (5/6)

I like me a bit of Zen on me own without the lads. Wish Jimmy had played on more tracks.
.

I'll never get old but will just get better.
Who? There's this British guy, a old hippie, who became famous for his bluesy caterwauling in front of Jimmy Page's magnificent guitar work. Robert Plant was the frontman for the biggest rock band in the world (ahead of pop stars like The Beatles, The Stones, The Black Flag, and LA's own Wasted Youth, plus a million other small bands few have ever heard of). The great thing about Plant was not just that he was a good singer and a rockstar, but rather that he may have written some intelligent lyrics for the band, words akin to the intelligent stuff Pink Floyd was putting out in London's Acid Scene in the Sixties.


Robert Plant's Carry Fire
Has been Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin fame plays live, even though most of the world has not seen him. They'd like to, of course, but that's assuming he's backed by Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and Jason Bonham. That reunion may take a while. However, Plant is singing live for an audience in May 2025.
