Yen Nguyen, Ephesians 2:-8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.…
It is impossible to do good works apart from Christ. What may look good to you and the world. is filthy rags to Him, if it is in your flesh. If a person confesses Christ and continues in their former life style, chances are they might not of received Him in the first place. They may of just had an emotional experience and said a prayer, but it wore down over time. Conversion brings about change and there is evidence of that change in a believers life. It's called fruit.
Catholicism can not save you only Jesus. I was raised Catholic and know the silly argument you just raised. Don't believe Christians believe His word, I just gave you. Look it up it is in your Catholic Bible too. I am willing to converse you you on any Biblical question you could pose. Just look me up on Facebook and private message me.

Elisia,
Come out of the doctrine you are the one full of heresy. Please Explain Ephesians 2:8-9 after you do that then understand the conversation you are speaking of between Peter and Jesus is mis interpreted by you and Catholics constantly. Jesus was speaking of himself not Peter. Why would He (God) build His church on a man? Mary is to be honored, but not worshiped, she would tell you to your face if she could. She found favor with God because of her heart for Him not because of perfection. She was not perfect and without sin and needed Him as much as you and me.None of what you say is Biblical, it is mostly from Catholic doctrine and the canon. Please if you have ears to hear( like you say others should) than listen to what the spirit of God is saying.I bet you didn't even listen to the video or testimony of anyone in it, did you? I was Catholic and was called out of the Catholic Church over 35 years ago, went on to become a Pastor, just follower of Christ. Praise God, I am no longer blinded by this bondage you speak of so I and others can speak it to you. You young lady instead of condemning others with catholic doctrine. This is your opportunity to know Christ as your ONLY way to salvation, their is NO other. Romans 9-9-10 and Acts 4-12 Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” That name Elisa is Jesus, "Yeshua" in Hebrew from the name of Joshua. I can give you so many more but this is sufficient for you to repent and believe! Let the light shine on the darkness and may Elisa see you Jesus. You can try to beat me up with your words and KeeperofGodsword, but it won't change the truth, which you do not yet know.

I am very happy that I escaped this shit at an early age. I was not baptised until I was six. i suddenly was sent to catholic school at seven. Hated it ! Finally my mother gave up on it when I was ten . I have never set foot in a church since and never will. I always preferred the Greek Myths to the bible. Loved Hitch's analogy of being at a party and being tapped on the shoulder and told you have to leave but imagine being at a party and told you can never leave. There are those of us who cannot believe nor want to.

I find it fascinating how subtle and deep the logic is that practitioners will go to rationalise and define their sect in opposition to the other sects in the religion, but will never go one step further in examining the flimsy evidence for a Jesus rising from the dead, let alone the existence of the god of the bible.
Dare to reason.

Luke 22:19And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and
gave unto them, saying, THIS IS MY BODY which is given for you: this do in
remembrance of me.
1 Cor 10:16 The chalice of benediction, which we bless, is it not
the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread, which we break, is it not
the partaking of the body of the Lord?
1 Cor 11:26 For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink
the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come. 27 Therefore
whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily,
shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man
prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice. 29
For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to
himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.
John 6:60Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard
this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
John 6:61When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured
at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
John 6:62What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up
where he was before?
John 6:63It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth
nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
John 6:64But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus
knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray
him.
John 6:65And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man
can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
John 6:66From
that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

How many "Hail Mary's" must we say to avoid purgatory? Thomas Jefferson said, “the church perverted the purest religion ever preached (Jewish Christianity), terrifying the masses for the purpose of gaining wealth and control.” And further that, "Paul was the first corrupter of the doctrines of Jesus." Jesus only brought a message of love to the world... The Roman church corrupted that message to control the citizens of the collapsing empire.
Joseph Ratzinger (pope) quit his first seminary, because they conceded “there were two separate and opposing Christianities in the second century. The first was the Jewish Christianity of Jesus and the second was the gentile 'Roman Christianity' of Paul. They noted that Paul was indifferent to the teaching of Christ and the opponent of the religion of love Christ came to announce to the world.” Catholic Encyclopedia
“Seemingly there are two forms of Christianity. One that the historical Christ is said to have taught (love and forgiveness) and one that the Church teaches (guilt, shame and blame)...The Church teaches that hope and solace are only possible through the redemption from sin by the vicarious sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, for all those who acknowledge His teaching, but it is precisely this form of the doctrine of salvation that rests almost exclusively on the work of Paul, and was never taught by Jesus. (On Guilt, Shame and Blame in Christianity, by the White Robed Monks of Saint Benedict)
George Bernard Shaw, said that "It would have been a better world if Paul had never been born."

Tommy, You can call me names..."deaf, dumb and blind," if you want... Name calling is a sign of adolescence or sheer ignorance...so you already discounted yourself out of an intelligent discussion... And it's not "Diss informed." There's no such word... It would benefit you greatly to get an education before you get engaged in these level debates. I'm addressing people who've studied history... Those people would understand the historic truth when I state that Jesus only founded Jewish Christianity... This is a fact of history...This can't be disputed. Roman Christianity evolved forward gradually into the larger Roman civilization...and then was formally consummated by the pagan emperor Constantine in 325 AD. Judgment, Satan, Hell, virgin birth, the trinity, Xmas (pagan Yuletide), Easter fertility rites (eggs & bunnies) were all Roman pagan religion added at that time... Jesus had nothing to do with all this pagan religion that church Christians call "Christianity..." None of it was the original Jewish Christianity of Jesus...the religion of love Jesus came to announce to the world. Since you're not educated, all you can do is regurgitate what the "Roman" bible and the Roman church brainwashes you to believe is Christianity... You have no idea about these truths because you can't think for yourself...You're just a programmed unit. Truly, Brad O'Donnell

OK, now this has to do with individuals not the faith itself- mind you. I hate this stuff, just like when crap on the Jews as being all powerful and controlling. Sure there have been rotten leaders etc., now let's do one on the many abuses in the various Protestant and other sects. So where did u get all these secrets from anyway since hey there's a lot of fake news out there. Anglicans had their choirboys and any castrations were more likely on the families part, of course consider the Middle Eastern and far eastern eunuchs too. Not saying the Catholic church (not the faith) has been perfect, but wow, love the Catholic bashing and generalizing here. The coverup on the abuse scandal was wrong (just as it was wrong for Penn State too and other schools), but don't simplify the reasons so.

Surprisingly enough, there was indeed a tradition in Europe centuries
ago of castrating young boys to preserve their sopranic singing voices.
The boys were known as the castrati. Basically, it was a secular
custom invented to work around ancient Church disciplinary restrictions
against women singing in church. Although castrati did perform in
churches, there is no evidence that the Church itself invented the
custom or condoned it. At worst, individual churchmen tolerated a
secular custom; at best, it is possible that there was localized
condemnation of the practice of which current historical research is
unaware. In any event, the custom ended in the nineteenth century when
it was outlawed in Italy, the last country to allow the practice.
Although the theology of the body is a development of Pope John Paul II,
it is true that the universal Church has never approved of the
deliberate mutilation of the human body. Although individuals
or societies may at times ignore Church doctrine on matters of faith or
morals, this does not mean that the Church itself condones the behavior
of fallible human beings.

I assure you these are all very true. Also, please know this video is not an attack on the Catholic religion! I have nothing against religion. I simply don't understand why many of you would rather believe it never happened than to accept that it did. Having that attitude is what allows these priests to continue to get away with these horrible crimes. You can still have your religion, but then you should also accept what your Church has done and do speak out about it. Just my opinion. Sorry if you were offended, but thank you for watching!

WHO CAN GIVE ME SOME ADVISE PLEEASSE. PLZ TELL ME HOW I CAN KNOW FOR DEFINITE, 100%, THAT I AM LOOKING IN THE CORRECT DIRECTION WHEN LOOKING AT CHRISTIANITY. I TAUGHT IT WAS 2 CHURCHES, CATHOLIC & PROTESTANT. If someone with no dog in the race stands back and looks at the Catholic Church and Protestant Churches and Protestant individuals, it looks like the whole of the protestant world spends all it's time attacking the Catholic Church, wereas the Catholics spend their time, not retaliating with the sort of vulgarity ive seen in the comments sections of ALL the shows ive seen and videos made about the Catholics, but they are simply explaining there teachings-correct or incorrect, in a most respectful way. Also for someone who wants to belong to something Holy, as in the Church that Christ wed, as this union is forever, for God makes a massive point OF LETTING US KNOW HOW SACRED MARRIAGE IS AND HOW 2 BECOME 1, So the search is on, looking at scripture with the eyes of faith and reason,and as a lover of history,searching pretty much all of the writings from the earliest, "THE DIDACHE",AD50 and " Justin Martyr's apologia ", what is in these writings are still what is been taught today by the Catholic Church. SHOULD THE CONFUSED PERSON WHO SO MUCH WANTS GOD IN HIS/HER LIFE IGNORE HISTORY FROM 1st CENTURY ON. IF THE CLAIM THAT THE POPE, WHEN SPEAKING FROM THE SEAT OF PETER. AND THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT GUIDING THE CHURCH, THEN GOD HAS PLAYED A CRUEL JOKE ON MANKIND BY GIVING US THE GOSPEL, BUT NOBODY WHO CAN SAY HE/SHE IS 100% SURE IN THERE BELIEF FOR THAT WOULD BE TO CLAIM INFALLIBILITY, AS PROTESTANTISM HAS SPLINTERED INTO OVER 40 THOUSAND DIVISIONS NOT INCLUDING THOSE NOT CONNECTED TO A CHURCH-BUT IF NO MAN IS INFALLIBLE, THEN BY THIS DEFINITION, NO ONE CAN PREACH THE FULLNESS OF TRUTH AS MILLIONS OF FALLIBLE PEOPLE READING THE BIBLE HAVE COME UP WITH UNKNOWN THOUSANDS OF DIFFERING BELIEFS, MANY THAT DEFY HISTORY, SOME THAT DEFY ALL LOGIC LIKE THE 6000 YEAR OLD UNIVERSE OR ADDITION OF BOOK OF MORMON, OR ISLAM WHO WANT TO KILL US ALL, AND LIKE MANY SAY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. SO WHAT I CANT GET AROUND IS WHY WILL THE WORLD, OR WHY SHOULD I ACCEPT THE BIBLE FROM THEM, AND TRADITIONS THAT ARE BINDING ON ALL CHRISTIANS LIKE THE CANON OF SCRIPTURE, OR THAT THE SON IS CONSUBSTANTIAL WITH THE FATHER, WHO AM I OR ANYONE ELSE TO SAY THE CANON IS CLOSED AND THE BOOK OF MORMON IS HERESY. SO IF, LIKE SOME SAY, IT IS THE CHURCH IN THE BIBLE BUT IT WENT ASTRAY AFTER WE RECEIVED THE BIBLE FROM IT, THEN THE ALL KNOWING GOD WAS WRONG WHEN HE SAID THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST HIS CHURCH-BUT IF TRUE, IT DID, SOMETIME AFTER IT GAVE THE WORLD THE DOCTRINES ALL CHRISTIANS BELIEVE, SO WE CAN BELIEVE ALL THEY TAUGHT BEFORE THIS POINT, LIKE WE SEE IN THE DIDACHE AND JUSTYN"S APOLOGIA AND MANY MORE LETTERS LIKE THE FOLLOWING FROM IRENAEUS-AD130 ( Suppose there arise a dispute relative to some important question among us, should we not have recourse to the most ancient Churches with which the apostles held constant intercourse, and learn from them what is certain and clear in regard to the present question? For how should it be if the apostles themselves had not left us writings? Would it not be necessary, in that case, to follow the course of the tradition which they handed down to those to whom they did commit the Churches?-Irenaeus of Lyons )
( [Naaman] dipped himself," it says, "seven times in Jordan." It was not for nothing that Naaman of old, when suffering from leprosy, was purified upon his being baptized, but as an indication to us. For as we are lepers in sin, we are made clean by means of the sacred water and the invocation of the Lord from our old transgressions, being spiritually regenerated as new-born babes, even as the Lord has declared: "Except a man be born again through water and the Spirit, he shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Irenaeus of Lyons ) (He [Jesus] came to save all through himself; all, I say, who through him are reborn in God: infants, and children, and youths, and old men. Therefore he passed through every age, becoming an infant for infants, sanctifying infants; a child for children, sanctifying those who are of that age . . . [so that] he might be the perfect teacher in all things, perfect not only in respect to the setting forth of truth, perfect also in respect to relative age-Irenaeus of Lyons
(One should not seek among others the truth that can be easily gotten from the Church. For in her, as in a rich treasury, the apostles have placed all that pertains to truth, so that everyone can drink this beverage of life. She is the door of life--Irenaeus of Lyons)
(Suppose there arise a dispute relative to some important question among us, should we not have recourse to the most ancient Churches with which the apostles held constant intercourse, and learn from them what is certain and clear in regard to the present question? For how should it be if the apostles themselves had not left us writings? Would it not be necessary, in that case, to follow the course of the tradition which they handed down to those to whom they did commit the Churches?-Irenaeus of Lyons)
IGNATIUS DIED AD107 AND WROTE HIS EPISTLES ON THE WAY TO ROME
(But look at the men who have those perverted notions about the grace of Jesus Christ which has come down to us, and see how contrary to the mind of God they are. . . . They even abstain from the Eucharist and from the public prayers, because they will not admit that the Eucharist is the self-same body of our Savior Jesus Christ which flesh suffered for our sins, and which the Father of His goodness raised up again.-Ignatius of Antioch)
See that ye all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as ye would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. [] Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. [] Whatsoever [the bishop] shall approve of, that is also pleasing to God, so that everything that is done may be secure and valid.-Ignatius of Antioch
(In like manner, everyone who has received from God the power of distinguishing and yet follows an unskillful pastor and receives a false opinion for the truth shall be punished ... Be not deceived: if any man follows him who separates from the truth, he shall not inherit the kingdom of God; and if any man does not stand aloof from the preacher of falsehood he shall be condemned to Hell--Ignatius of Antioch)

My theory is that they know they've fallen away from Christ's true Church on earth and are trying to justify their apostasy by making up stories (read: lies) about Catholicism. They have to look good in front of their new Protestant friends, so they make all these wild claims about what Catholics believe and do. That way, they seem ever so much more righteous and holy for having left those terrible heathern Mary-worshipin' idol-lovin' pagan Kathlics, dontcha know. Either their faith was weak to begin with, and they were easily lured away, or else they never really knew what the Church really teaches and believes. They're in need of our prayers that they will come to their senses and return Home to Rome before it's too late.

VictorCrowne, First, we see on many occasions in Scripture where there is occasion for the Apostles to speak, St. Peter is known to speak for the group. "Then Jesus said to the twelve: Will you also go away? And Simon Peter answered him: Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we have believed and have known, that thou art the Christ, the Son of God." John 6:68. Notice St. Peter speaks for the group and also says "and WE have believed", speaking for all. Also consider the verses, "Jesus saith to them: But whom do you say that I am? Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God." Matthew 16:15and "And Jesus beholding, said to them: With men this is impossible: but with God all things are possible. Then Peter answering, said to him: Behold we have left all things, and have followed thee: what therefore shall we have?" Matthew 19:26. Also consider at the election of St. Matthias it is St. Peter alone who speaks and determines. There are many other examples in Scripture where St. Peter speaks for the group of Apostles. Simply put, it is usual that the head should speak for the whole body, and that what the head says is considered to be said by all the rest. And it is this reason that St. Chrysostom and Origen have called St. Peter "the mouth and crown of the Apostles". "Amen, amen I say to you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send, receiveth me." John 13:20 When St. Peter was placed as foundation of the Church, and the Church was certified that the gates of hell should not prevail against it, was it not enough to say that St. Peter as foundation-stone could not be crushed with infidelity or error, which is the principal gate of hell? If the head shepherd can conduct his sheep into venomous pastures, the flock is soon to be lost. So if the head shepherd, with no other visible head available, can wander, who will set him straight? If there are no other head shepherds to lead and the sheep are not capable of guiding, how can this head shepherd guide his flock with a guarantee that hell will not prevail, unless supernatural assistance exists? Consider the great authority of Moses who sat and judged all the differences among the people, and all difficulties which occurred in the service of God. He appointed judges for issues of lower importance and the greater doubts were reserved for him. God spoke through him for decisions of that time and we all believe this. Why then do the Protestant reformers doubt a similar situation with the head of the Catholic Church? Considering Moses, is this situation THAT far above reason? Clearly it is not. If God had such providence over the religion of the Jews to establish them a supreme judge in whose sentence they were bound to consent to, there is no doubt that God provided Christianity with a similar judge or pastor who has the same authority to remove doubts and disagreements concerning the Scriptures. Even Luther originally believed in the authority of the Pope as we can see in his letter to Pope Leo X in 1518 where he actually presents six reasons for proof of authority of the Holy See in Rome and states that Scripture supports these reasons! Calvin himself originally believed in the authority of the Holy See as well, stating the Ancients have honored and revered it. So on what grounds do these Protestant reformers change from being Catholics, scrapping their beliefs to start a whole new doctrine? It is clear looking at the history of the Catholic Church that She does not believe the Pope can err or mislead the faithful in regards to faith and morals, which is based on Our Lord's words that the gates of hell will not prevail against the church. Outside of decisions on faith and morals and in all private decisions, the Pope is susceptible to mistakes just as anyone else. Simply put, everything a king says is not law and does not become law, but only that which the king pronounces as king and legislator. So goes the same with the Bishop of Rome; he can make errors outside the chair of Peter, as a private individual by writings and bad example, but with pronouncements on faith and morals in the chair of Peter, Our Lord's promise holds. If all are bound by the Lord to believe the teachings of the Apostles and their successors or be condemned, and those teachings could contain error, what confusion would occur in Christendom with some parties considering one teaching good, another bad, and others occupying themselves in controlling the decisions of their superiors? Consider the verse, "But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth." John 16:13. How does the Holy Spirit teach, but through the Pastors of the Church? Consider St. Ignatius, early church Father and Bishop of Antioch, who sent his Epistle to the Trallians around the year 107 AD. In it he writes, "For, since ye are subject to the bishop as to Jesus Christ..." and in the same paragraph writes, "It is therefore necessary that, as ye indeed do, so without the bishop ye should do nothing, but should also be subject to the presbytery, as to the apostle of Jesus Christ". This was in the earliest time of the church shortly after the death of the last Apostle. Clearly St. Ignatius here openly states that a Bishop should be obeyed as to Christ himself, and that we should also be subject to the presbytery (priest) as to the Apostles. How much more would this apply to the head bishop of the church in Rome? To Protestants who rather consider Luther an authority, how can you look to a man who blindly excommunicates the Pope, and the Bishops, and the entire Catholic Church in one written Bull while completely ignoring all the facts as presented on this page? Such decisions can only be made out of anger or frustration and not of intelligent facts. And what are we to think about Luther writing to the King of England claiming, "I will be the enemy of the papacy, burnt I will be thy enemy." Are these the words of a Christian? Of an authority? Consider the writings of Luther, Calvin, Zwingli and other reformers which are filled with vulgarities, calumnies, insults, detraction and ridicule. Are these really the words of a Christian with a mission from God to "reform" the Church? What does this all mean than that they have nothing else to say and are unable to keep from ill-saying? No one sent from God would do or say such things as these reformers have.

YOU: St. Peter is known to speak for the group.
ME: was he speaking for the group when he denied Jesus ?
and AFTER he denied Jesus before men, the resurrected Jesus no longer called him "peter/rock" -- the resurrected Jesus only called him Simon bar Jona (John 21:15-17). no longer a rock. simply Simon.

Romans 1:21 - 25
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Mary has many titles, the Mother of God title is because she is the mother of Jesus who is God. Nobody in the Catholic church worships Mary, she is venerated for her for her role in salvation history, for saying yes to God, and we consider her our mother since Jesus gave her to the keeping of John as Jesus was on the cross. Scripture tells us He called her woman, the same name used for Eve, reflecting her role as the new mother of the children of God. Therefore, she is venerated as the spiritual mother of all Christians. Mary always points to Jesus and is quoted in the bible saying: "Do whatever He tells you." This occurred at the wedding feast where Jesus addressed her again as woman. Woman is her title as she represents the new Eve. Jesus is the new Adam, God has provided for us an unfallen Adam - we call Him Jesus. In redemption history we see the first Eve saying no to God, with Mary we see her saying yes. No Catholic worships statues, statues are used as reminders of the people they represent just like any statue or photograph, they can help elicit thoughts and prayerful petitions. Candles are reminders of prayers we have offered to the Lord, they cost money so people donate to pay for them, if they have the money. Mary, or any saint can be asked to pray for an intention, just as any friend may ask prayers from another friend, this is because we have as scripture tells us, a cloud of witnesses and that God is a God of the living, not the dead. The power of a prayer from one who is totally committed to God, fully and honestly is more powerful than a prayer from someone who is not so committed. Since Mary is arguably the best and most committed to the Lord, having been willing to say yes at every turn to God's request she is therefore easily the best prayer intercessor one can have. Further, by virtue of her place in salvation history she is by definition, the Mother of the Son of God, the Spouse of the Holy Spirit- from whom she conceived Jesus, and she is the daughter of the Eternal Father as well. She stands in a singular space in the history of mankind and that of salvation history as well, she is not however a god, a goddess or anything like that, she was a human being, but not an ordinary one In virtue of her role as the Mother of Jesus, who is God and therefore without stain of sin, she was kept free from original sin in order to be a fit vessel for the God-man Jesus. A perfect God requires an unfallen woman to be the spouse of the Holy Spirit and the mother of the Son of God. This perfection is that of not being stained by original sin and being preserved from it by the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross. God's grace is timeless otherwise no Baptism today would be effective. So in virtue of the future sacrifice of Christ Mary was free of original sin at the time of her conception since God foresaw her role in the future. She lived a marriage of chastity and celibacy with Joseph who was Jesus' step father. Those are the salient facts about Catholic teaching relative to Mary. Which is the teaching of the only church Jesus ever started and the only church that He guaranteed. He left men in charge of His church and His church continues on to this day. The Catholic Church put the bible together and the church pre-existed the bible itself. Therefore if one wishes to use any biblical references to refute a Catholic teaching, one is left incapable of doing so with any authority, since the authority was given to the person of Peter via the keys to the kingdom and the binding and loosing. Peter was the first bishop of Rome, the current bishop is Francis. The church established by Jesus continues unabated as does its authority, given by God Himself while He was personally present here on Earth. All would do well to find the pearl of great price and recall that the mustard seed looks quite differently from the grown tree. God bless!

This video is so slanderous its sicking! The creator of this video is trying to manipulate the beliefs of the Catholic Church. Catholics dont think Mary is above God. Thats a complete lie. We are taught that Mary was chosen by God to carry Jesus in her womb. She was a vessel. The reason we call her the mother of God is because Jesus was man in the flesh but was still God. Therefore she carried Jesus who is God in her womb, making her the mother of God. No she is not superior to Jesus.Yes we believe she was full of grace, without sin to carry Jesus. We believe in the Trinity, The Father, The Son and Holy Spirit ( 1 God 3 Divine beings). NO ONE SHOULD BE WORSHIPED BESIDES THE TRINITY. Yes we believe that we should respect Mary and the Saints because they lived a Holy Life and did the will of God on earth so they are now in Heaven in union with God. Videos llike these are very misleading and are made to keep people from seeking Gods one Foundation in tte Catholic Church. Its truly said how many Anti-Catholics are in the world trying to destroy Gods foundation but thr devil can work through those who are weak but he will NOT prevail. God will the battle and the devil will be in hell where belongs with his minions.

Mary said ". My soul rejoices in Elohim MY SAVIOUR. Mary was a human just as we all are and a sinner just as we all are, in Need of a savior. Just as we all are. Trust in The one and only savior. Father the one true God said " beside me is no SAVIOUR". Which means that He is the SAVIOUR and there is no other name upon which we may be saved. Jesus was called in his mother tongue, Yeshua. A Jewish name. Yeshua was born of a young maiden virgin. Lucifer does not want you to read your Bible. Read your Bible. Know the truth which was delivered to you, for you are responsible for your own soul, and what you believe. Once you die comes the judgement (there is purgatory mentioned in the Bible), and the time will have passed for you to tell Yeshua that you trust Him for paying for your sins, He did the sacrifice on His Cross. I pray for you that you will read your Bible, which is a love letter from Father God.

Idol worshippers and your false god you bow down to isnt even Mary, praising mary was implemented to fool you into worshiping falsely. The first mary Constantine put in the first lavish temple was the Goddess of ISIS or Ishtar. Catholicism is nothing more than Paganism and Mithraism cloaked under the umbrella of Christianity! Done so by a Narcissistic Roman Emperor that was only worried about how he would be remembered and disgusted that so many still were going to Christianity and Following the Gospel of Jesus so he made his own false doctrine and lied saying he converted to Christianity not to draw questioning! Under the vatican is rooms full of pagan and Mithraism idols, sculptures, and pictures of these false gods or demons. One room that is under the throne of the false prophet pope has a giant Muriel covering the whole wall of Lucifer! The most Holy place on Earth and where God resides houses endless artifacts and proof of the beginnings of this Creation of the dark!! Youll all see very soon!

Master of Tai Chi Demonstrates the Surprising Power of Qi Energy
1.8k10414

Dylan Charles, Editor
Waking Times
Human beings have superhuman, Jedi-like, psychic and physical powers. The CIA knows this, and we often see stories of amazing individuals who are capable of unbelievable feats of mind, body and spirit. This is built into the 99.9% part of our DNA that we all share, yet so few of us are fortunate enough to grow up in an environment where these abilities are challenged and developed from early on, and skepticism of our infinite potential is too common.
The world of Chinese martial arts is where much of this type of magic happens, and masters who’ve spent their entire lives cultivating the body’s biophysical and spiritual energy systems are legendary for feats such as healing people with their hands or starting fires with their palms. Remarkably, Qi Gong Master Kanzawa Sensei is famous for being able to put wild animals to sleep by subtly manipulating the energy fields around them with his hands.
Tai Chi, often translated as ‘Supreme Ultimate Boxing’ is a traditional Chinese martial art which cultivates inner life force energy (Qi), while strengthening one’s body, mind and spirit for combat, self-defense, and longevity.
“Qi”, which is pronounced Ki in the Japanese arts, is the Chinese word for “energy”, and pertains to all forms of energy in the universe. In martial arts and qigong, it specifically refers to human Qi, the bioenergy or lifeforce within every cell of the human body.” ~Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming
Through a lifetime of practicing specific forms, drills, exercises, meditations and other esoteric methods which strengthen and purify the energetic centers of the body, true masters of Tai Chi can develop very refined and potent internal energy which be visibly demonstrated in remarkable ways.
In the following video, an elder master of Tai Chi is seen using physical movement in coordination energetic movement to jar and repel younger students, forcefully throwing them backwards and off-balance with very small movements of his body.
His actions, though subtle in appearance, have a disproportional effect on his opponents. To the skeptic, this may seem unbelievable, but while charlatans do exist, this demonstration is authentic. The master is applying the principles of grounding, moving from the center (lower dan tien), wave dynamics and coordinated mind-body concentration, along with Qi circulation and explosive energy.
READ: Japanese Master Demonstrates the Power of Chi by Controlling Animals
For those who’ve been in the presence of genuine Masters of Qi, and have practiced Tai Chi or other Chinese internal martial arts, this is quite real and very possible.
Lower dan tien is the base foundation of the body’s energy structure, acting as the root, or grounding center, and as well as being the physical center of the human body, this is where the development of powers such as these begins.
Dan Tien – Literally, “Field of Elixir.” Locations in the body which are able to store and generate Qi (elixir) in the body. The Upper, Middle and Lower Dan Tien are located, respectively, between the eyebrows, at the solar plexus, and a few inches below the navel. [Dr. Yang, The Root of Chinese Qigong: Secrets of Health, Longevity, & Enlightenment]
Beyond basic training of dan tien, the there are an almost infinite number of techniques which can be practiced, such as Fah Jing, Hsing Ie, and Ba Gua Zhong, all of which are nuanced means of developing explosive energy, deeply rooted balance, and in intense mind-body connection.
Describing the process of how such remarkable energy can be created so quickly, renowned Kung Fu, Tai Chi and Qi Gong master, Dr. Jwing-Ming Yang remarks:
“Theoretically, in order to activate the muscles to generate force or power, the mind must lead the Qi to the area where the muscles should be energized. For example, when you push a car, you must first generate an idea, and from this mind, an electromotive force (EMF) is generated. From this EMF the Qi is led to the muscles for energization. Through the nervous system (a highly electrically conductive system) the muscles are stimulated and contract, thereby generating action.” ~Dr. Yang
In layman’s terms, the human body can be trained to operate as a directed energy weapon, as is demonstrated in the video above.
Final Thoughts
The mind is capable of becoming just as rigid as the body, but anyone can develop their internal energy system and enhance their Qi to improve their life. The fundamentals of Qi training are easy enough for anyone and are outlined in five basic principles by Dr. Yang: Strength and flexibility, the breath, the mind, the energetic system, and the spirit.
“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence. To understand the true nature of the universe, one must think it terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” ~Nikola Tesla

Barely two months after The United Nations nominated Wonder Woman as an ambassador for women and girls, the UN announced that they would be ending Wonder Woman's ambassadorship. in October, the United Nations said it was “about women and girls everywhere, who are wonder women in their own right, and the men and boys who support their struggle for gender equality.” But the announcement was met with protests and a petition complaining that the fictional superhero was an inappropriate choice to represent female empowerment.“A large-breasted white woman of impossible proportions, scantily clad in a shimmery, thigh-baring body suit with an American flag motif and knee-high boots” is not an appropriate spokeswoman for gender equity at the United Nations, the petition said.

A Diplomatic Genius and Not a Psychopath
[Just on time, President Rodrigo “Digong” Roa Duterte advocated for Neutrality and established his intentions to galvanize Philippine diplomatic ties with Asian/ASEAN Nations including Russia. Asian Amity and Brotherhood with the People’s Republic of China is a genius strategy to evade being caught on a crossfire in her possible involvement in the impending War between the United States of America and Russia; a diplomatic ingenuity indeed.] -Dr. Delmar Topinio Taclibon, MBA, PhD.D.A.
“Diplomacy is the art of telling people to GO to HELL in such a way that they ask for directions.” – Winston Churchill, U.K. Prime Minister during World War II and recipient of the 1953 Nobel Prize for Literature
“To SAY NOTHING, especially when speaking, is half the art of diplomacy.” – Will Durant, author, philosopher and historian
Salient Principles of the Art of War by Sun Tzu
1.“Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.”
2. “The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”
3. “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
4. “Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.”
5. “Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.”
6. “Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win”
7. “All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”
8. “If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected .”
9. “In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity”
10. “Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment — that which they cannot anticipate.”
11. “The greatest victory is that which requires no battle.”
12 “There is no instance of a nation benefitting from prolonged warfare.”
13. “Thus we may know that there are five essentials for victory:
1) He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.
2) He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.
3) He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks.
4) He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared.
5) He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.”
14. “The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.”
15. “Move swift as the Wind and closely-formed as the Wood. Attack like the Fire and be still as the Mountain.”
16. “Treat your men as you would your own beloved sons. And they will follow you into the deepest valley.”
17. “When the enemy is relaxed, make them toil. When full, starve them. When settled, make them move.”
18. “When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.”
19. “There are not more than five musical notes, yet the combinations of these five give rise to more melodies than can ever be heard.
There are not more than five primary colours, yet in combination
they produce more hues than can ever been seen.
There are not more than five cardinal tastes, yet combinations of
them yield more flavours than can ever be tasted.”
20. “So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.”
21. “To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.”
22. “who wishes to fight must first count the cost”
23. “One may know how to conquer without being able to do it. ”
24. “Be extremely subtle even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate.”
25. “What the ancients called a clever fighter is one who not only wins, but excels in winning with ease.”
26. “He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious.”
27. “Rouse him, and learn the principle of his activity or inactivity. Force him to reveal himself, so as to find out his vulnerable spots.”
28. “If you know the enemy and know yourself, your victory will not stand in doubt; if you know Heaven and know Earth, you may make your victory complete.”
29. “Thus the expert in battle moves the enemy, and is not moved by him.”
30. “Anger may in time change to gladness; vexation may be succeeded by content.
But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come again into being; nor can the dead ever be brought back to life.”
Datuk Delmar Nur Faramarz Ferdowsi Salah Ad-Din.Topinio Taclibon, Bt., DKR, KRSS, BSCE, MBA, PhD.D.A.

The concepts behind “social networking” aren’t anything new – ever since there have been humans, we have been looking for ways to connect, network, and promote with one another – but they’ve taken on an entirely new meaning (and momentum) in the digital age. Where we used to have handshakes, word-of-mouth referrals, and stamped letters, today’s relationships are often begun and developed on LinkedIn, Google +, and Facebook.
That means savvy business owners have to know and use a variety of social platforms to stay relevant, not to mention take advantage of emerging opportunities. Below, you’ll find what I consider to be the 21 most important channels and tools you need to be aware of.
1. Twitter. Perhaps the simplest of all social media platforms, Twitter also just happens to be one of the most fun and interesting. Messages are limited to 140 characters or less, but that’s more than enough to post a link, share an image, or even trade thoughts with your favorite celebrity or influencer. Twitter’s interface is easy to learn and use, and setting up a new profile only takes minutes.
2. Facebook. Considered to be synonymous with “social media” by some, Facebook is the one site where you’re likely to find friends, colleagues, and relatives all floating around. Although Facebook is mainly centered around sharing photos, links, and quick thoughts of a personal nature, individuals can also show their support to brands or organizations by becoming fans.
3. LinkedIn. One of the only mainstream social media sites that’s actually geared towards business, LinkedIn is to cyberspace what networking groups once were to local business communities. It’s great for meeting customers, getting in touch with vendors, recruiting new employees, and keeping up with the latest in business or industry news. If it matters to your company or career, you can probably do it on LinkedIn.
4. Xing. Another professional networking and recruitment site, Xing has the global presence and focus that LinkedIn lacks. Although it can be mistaken for a job search portal, the site actually has a number of features and communities that make it easy to develop relationships with suppliers, colleagues and even thought leaders within industry.
5. Renren. Literally translating into “everyone’s website,” Renren is China’s largest social platform. Hugely popular with the younger crowd, it works in a way similar to Facebook, allowing users to share quick thoughts, update their moods, connect with others, and add posts or ideas to a blog-like stream.
6. Google+. Social media’s big up-and-comer has really arrived over the past few years. By combining the best of Facebook and Twitter into one site – and backing it by the power of the world’s largest search engine, Google has given users a social site that has a little something for everyone. You can add new content, highlight topics with hashtags, and even separate contacts into circles. And, a G+ profile only takes a few minutes to get set up.
7. Disqus. Disqus isn’t actually a social media platform so much as a social engagement platform, but it can definitely help you improve your social engagement. As a tool for commenting, managing feedback on your own website (or other Disqus-enabled websites), and managing spam/troll type messages, it’s invaluable. Advanced features allow for social monitoring and upvoting.
8. LinkedIn Pulse. Even though Pulse is technically a part of LinkedIn, it’s big and important enough to deserve its own entry. Serving as something between a blog and “best of” outlet, it’s the perfect medium sharing new ideas and keeping up on the thought leaders in your industry.
9. Snapchat. This surprisingly-addictive app gives you the ability to take a picture, add art and text if you’d like, and then send it to recipients for a set amount of time (after which the photo will delete itself and be removed from the company’s servers). Lots of fun, and potentially a good way to stay in touch with friends.
10. Tumblr. This platform is different form many others in that it essentially hosts microblogs for its users. Individuals and companies, in turn, can fill their blogs with multimedia (like images and short video clips). The fast-paced nature of Tumblr makes it ideal for memes, GIF’s, and other forms of fun or viral content.
11. Pinterest. Serving as a giant virtual idea and inspiration board, Pinterest has made a huge impact on social media in the last few years. Especially popular with women and the do-it-yourself crowd, it lets you share pictures, creative thoughts, or (especially) before-and-after pictures of projects that others can pin, save, or duplicate.
12. Twoo. This Belgian social network site is geared for the 25 and under crowd all over the world. Alongside normal social features like posts, updates, and photo sharing, it also boasts online games and chat features that make it popular with younger users who want to stay entertained while connecting with each other.
13. MyMFB. Created as a Muslim alternative to Facebook (it was previously called MillatFacebook), this site aims to connect the faith’s 1.5+ billion followers into a single social platform. While that might sound ambitious, it’s growing quickly and offers many of the same post, update, and sharing features as the original Facebook, and is already immensely popular in some parts of the world.
14. YouTube. As a video sharing service, YouTube has become so popular that its catalog of billions and billions of videos has become known as “the world’s second-largest search engine” in some circles. The site has everything from first-person product reviews to promotional clips and “how-two” instruction on virtually any topic or discipline. Users have the ability to share, rate, and comment on what they see.
15. Instagram. If you’re looking for a quick, convenient connection between the camera feature on your smart phone and all your social profiles, then Instagram is the answer. Not only will allow you to share via Twitter, Facebook, and the Instagram website, you can choose from a variety of photo filters and invite friends to comment on your photos or ideas.
16. Vine. This site (also available as an app) offers users the chance to share and view brief video clips. While that theoretically offers a virtually endless range of uses, most of Vine’s content is entertainment-focused, with a heavy preference towards “viral” and “meme” clips that are easy to share.
17. WhatsApp. The WhatsApp concept is simple: send text-style messages to anyone else using the platform, but without paying data charges. That straightforward idea has already gathered more than 700 million fans, making the app the world’s most popular messaging platform.
18. vk.com. Promoting itself as Europe’s largest social media site, vk.com is essentially the Russian version of Facebook, with the same kinds of profiles, messaging, and games you would expect. Like Facebook, vk.com allows users to enter both personal and professional information about themselves, and to follow or show support for organizations and businesses.
19. Meetup. Meetup is a perfectly-named platform, because it’s perfect for organizing local groups around specific interests. There are meetups centered on just about everything, from music to hobbies, and get-togethers are almost always open to newcomers. That makes it perfect for exploring an interest and making new friends at the same time.
20. Secret. This might be the best social media app most people haven’t tried. The premise is simple: join into a group of friends (or create your own), and then share an anonymous message. It’s great for fun interactions, idea starters, or just finally getting something off your chest. (Editor's note, 5/13/2015: Secret has folded. Co-founder David Byttow writes: "After a lot of thought and consultation with our board, I’ve decided to shut down Secret. Over time, I plan to publish postmortems so that others can learn from the unique mistakes and challenges we faced and the wisdom gained from such an incredible 16 months.")
21. Medium. If you’ve ever wished that social engagement could come with an ongoing, up-to-date “how to” manual written by the experts, Medium might be just what you’re looking for. With lots of helpful advice, tips, and articles, it can give you everything you need to start connecting like a pro.

Twitter:
Recent improvements to analytics make for some interesting behavioural observations. Don't forget to check out the metrics on your posts.
Facebook:
Two interesting points: a) you start your experience in FB by connecting to friends & family, and b) FB places considerable barriers to marketers, forcing them to pay to play unless they have content that truly resonates.
LinkedIn:
For those new-ish to LinkedIn, be aware of SWAM (site wide auto moderation). All it takes is one person to flag you as a spammer and poof, you are moderated across the network. It's a fantastic way to block spammers, while simultaneously placing a dangerous tool in the hands of your competitor.
Google+:
The big thing that sets GPlus apart from the likes of Facebook is that people go there searching information. And through that info search, end up making friends. My FAV network.
Disqus:
I'm beginning to look at Disqus as my newest fav stealth app. I've written a bit on this tool lately, describing it as a wonderfully useful influencer stalking tool. Of course, "I'd" never use it so nefariously. Just sayin. ;-)
LinkedIn Pulse:
When Pulse first launched, it auto-subscribed your existing contacts to post alerts, creating a ready-made subscriber base.
SnapChat:
(Or post sensitive data, such as a bad selfie or a rant.)
Vine:
Recent entries into the space include Periscope and Meerkat, streaming longer length video via Twitter feeds. Keep an eye on this trio.
No doubt I've just brushed the surface here. There are literally thousands of apps out there that offer social activity in one for or another. Seek and you shall fine. Have fun.

4 Things You Should Know About Depression and Spiritual Illness
5703115

Dylan Charles, Editor
Waking Times
A shaman and spiritual healer once explained to me that in his culture, an indigenous rainforest tribe of Equatorial Western Africa, depression is something incomprehensible. It’s simply not something they can relate to, in fact, he told me, the first time Westerners described this malaise to the chiefs in their village, members of the tribe actually laughed out loud, for it seemed so odd and extraordinary to them. How can anyone not be happy when possessing the greatest gift of all, the gift life, they inquired.
In the West, depression and other so-called mental disorders are a very real fact of life for many. This cannot be denied, and to combat these disorders, we’ve developed a full catalogue to describe them, and have created an entire professional medical discipline for diagnosing and treating them, with the result that depression has become an enormously profitable sector of the healthcare industry. The U.S. National Institute of Mental Health provides public information on depression, and while their website fails to comment on its potential causes, it does elaborate on risk factors and contemporary treatments which take a purely allopathic approach which lacks the possibility of actually overcoming depression.
“Depression, even the most severe cases, can be treated. The earlier that treatment can begin, the more effective it is. Depression is usually treated with medications, psychotherapy, or a combination of the two. If these treatments do not reduce symptoms, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and other brain stimulation therapies may be options to explore.” [Source] Pills, expensive, continual professional therapy, and electro-shock treatment. With this as the basic plan for confronting depression, it is indeed a hopeless condition, but we now know much more about depression, and the problem deserves a more holistic review.
Drawing from my personal experience in having beaten serious depression, from my experiences with shamanic plant medicines where I’ve witnessed many people fully conquer depression, and from the ever-growing body of scientific study on the matter, here are 4 things you should know about depression and spiritual illness.
I’ve compiled this summary not as medical advice to anyone seeking help, but merely as a source of contemplation on the matter, as a contribution to conversation on mental health and spiritual wellness. 1.) Pharmaceutical antidepressants are a trap, and they may in fact be making depression worse, not better. The model of viewing depression as a purely chemical imbalance is incomplete and while serotonin does clearly have an effect on mood, we don’t fully understand how this works. The side-effects and risks of using antidepressants are well-documented, and quite dreadful, even including an increased risk of suicide.
2.) Depression may be rooted in physical and physiological issues, being more than just an intangible malaise of the mind. Inflammation of the body has been proven to be a factor, which is something that can be addressed with diet and nutrition.
“A multitude of studies now show an undeniable link between gut dysfunction and the brain, chiefly by revealing the relationship between the volume of inflammatory markers in the blood and risk for depression. Higher levels of inflammatory markers, which often indicate that the body’s immune system is on high alert, significantly increase the risk of developing depression.” ~Kelly Brogan, M.D.
Furthermore, exploration of the relationship between mental health and the body’s microbiome has demonstrated that properly supporting the body’s bacterial eco-system can positively affect depression.
“I don’t even talk about it as a psychiatric condition any more. It does involve psychology, but it also involves equal parts of biology and physical health.” –George Slavich, clinical psychologist at the University of California in Los Angeles
3.) There is a spiritual component to depression, which is not addressed with modern medicine, as spirituality is a subject which evades material science. Anecdotal and experiential evidence, therefore must be given more weight in this discussion.
The shamanic plant medicines Ayahuasca and Iboga trigger intense spiritual journeys which are known to reveal the very personal causes of depression and other mental disturbances, while creating an opportunity to release trauma and self-destructive patterns of thought. In some cases, properly facilitated shamanic journeys can even induce a form of spiritual exorcism, where the patient can permanently expel the unseen influences of negative spiritual energies in their life.
“Another way to say this, which may make more sense to the Western mind, is that we in the West are not trained in how to deal or even taught to acknowledge the existence of psychic phenomena, the spiritual world.” ~Stephanie Marohn
Furthermore, research into the therapeutic benefits of LSD, psilocybin mushrooms, MDMA and ketamine, add supporting evidence to the hypothesis that metaphysical experiences can aid in treatment of depression.
4.) Depression may be a warning for our society, a canary in the coal mine, if you will, giving us a clue that something is deeply out of balance in our modern world and must be addressed. This could be an endemic spiritual crisis, a sign of our warped relationship with nature, or a type of blowback we suffer as a result of the inherent violence and injustice in our culture.
“In the shamanic view… mental disorders are spiritual emergencies, spiritual crises, and need to be regarded as such to aid the healer in being born.” ~Stephanie Marohn
The shamanic view of spiritual illness also includes the importance of ritual, initiation, rites of passages and ceremony in life as paths of maturation for the spirit, all of which have been replaced culturally with materialism, consumerism, distraction and the shattering of communal living.
“The abandonment of ritual can be devastating. From the spiritual view, ritual is inevitable and necessary if one is to live. To say that ritual is needed in the industrialized world is an understatement. We have seen in my own people that it is probably impossible to live a sane life without it.” ~Dr. Malidoma Patrice Somé, Ritual: Power, Healing, and Community
Final Thoughts
There is no single idea, model, or solution that fits every case of depression, for suffering of this nature is intensely personal and individual. That said, there are major pieces of the puzzle absent from the established Western medical/therapeutical/pharmaceutical model of treatment, which when considered, greatly add to our understanding of depression.
“I took my doctors recommendations and took the pills, but I quickly realized that the side-effects and the personality changes that the drugs induced in me were not something that I, nor my family, could live with. I dumped them, cancelled all remaining appointments and resolved to heal myself. It was not easy.” ~Dylan Charles

6. Spend More Money on Experiences
Truly happy people are very mindful of spending money on physical items, opting instead to spend much of their money on experiences. “Experiential purchases” tend to make us happier, at least according to the research. In fact, a variety of research shows that most people are far happier when buying experiences vs. buying material goods.
Here are some reasons why this might be, according to the literature:
Experiences improve over time. Aging like a fine wine, great experiences trump physical items, which often wear off quickly (“Ugh, my phone is so old!”). Experiences can be relived for years.
People revisit experiences more often. Research shows that experiences are recalled more often than material purchases. You are more likely to remember your first hiking trip over your first pair of hiking boots (although you do need to make that purchase, or you’ll have some sore feet!).
Experiences are more unique. Most people try to deny, but we humans are constantly comparing ourselves to one another. Comparisons can often make us unhappy, but experiences are often immune to this as they are unique to us. Nobody in the world will have the exact experience you had with your wife on that trip to Italy.
We adapt slowly to experiences. Consumer research shows that experiences take longer to “get used to.” Have you ever felt really energized, refreshed, or just different after coming back from a great show/dinner/vacation? It is harder to replicate that feeling with material purchases.
Experiences are social. Human beings are social animals. Did you know that true solitary confinement is often classified as “cruel and unusual” punishment due to the detrimental effects it can have on the mind? Experiences get us out of our comfort zone, out of our house, and perhaps involved in those close relationships we need to be happy.
