As put very succinctly by the ‘real rapper‘ Marcus Hopsin, the prevailing egoism in social circles today is primed by superficiality and self-entitlement; aka human merchandise that headlines shallow connotations as oddly valuable, the worship of the flesh and material things has poisoned the good character that many prior generations once held.
This is a catalytic creator of societies collectively pulled towards materialism as a qualification for a person that is deemed ‘desirable’ and acceptable, against our natural will, as none (or few of us) truly want to conform this way, but many will because it is convenient, and part of the herd mentality that has been monetized against the helpfulness of instinct as was once relevant in times of primitive circumstance, long passed. This neurological hijack is a self-perpetual cycle that requires certain mavericks to alter the trends set by corporate interest, rapper Marcus Hopsin is one of these mavericks.
The concept that material possessions are quintessential is propagated by corporate entities that thrive off of insecurity, dissatisfaction and above all; a materialistic mindset that will never be quenched – the clothes you wear, the car you drive, the house you own, the money you make; all bequeathed to the men in suits that name the game, set the terms, and engineer society to fulfill their vision, they rely on blind conformity to keep the cogs turning and have their far-reaching hands in every area of life imaginable.
They’ve convinced you that you need to buy their useless new product.
The men in dark suits will lift the bar marginally higher each year, and to keep your imaginary trophy cabinet updated, you’ll purchase the new stuff, follow their new trend; which is the same as the old stuff, just modified slightly. Materialism is profitable and present everywhere in a culture owned by corporations that have become too powerful for their own good.
2 Corinthians 4:4
Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Yahusha (Jesus*), who is the exact likeness of Elohim (God*).
Those bound to materialism, incapable of seeing the truth behind the ‘pattern’ of this world, will see these patterns as something to abide by. They are incapable of distinguishing light from dark.
Romans 12:2
Do not be conformed to this world,but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world.
This ‘pattern’ in the world is being set and reset constantly, it the choreography which we are told to dance to, don’t go through their motions, be a rock in Yahusha (Jesus); because our primitive minds and bodies will accustom to these worldly patterns willingly. But our spirits can discern the good from the bad, this spirituality comes from being baptized in the Word, figuratively washing your mind in the Word as much as possible – that’s where ‘brainwashing’ derives from, do the same with the Scriptures, reverse the satanic trash that has been integrated into your psyche – a righteous man who dedicated all to the light will have eyes that can truly see, and ears that can truly hear.
Psalm 18:2
Elohim is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My Elohim, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
Our flesh and matter is programmable, subtle symbols and words on repeat influence us – we can be cajoled into doing that which we consciously would oppose. It takes a strong, diligent spiritual backbone to reverse this, not church-ianity (just going to a Church for the feel-good factor), not relativist diligence, because that in itself is sensualist, kneeling to the bidding of your body (a fallen version of Elohim’s image).
It takes plenty of self-discipline to really ensure you don’t become a pawn, that’s why anything spiritual is shunned or ridiculed by materialistic king-pins; because the spirit overrides flesh-based programming; it unpicks everything and returns you to your true self, where you cannot be exploited. This Holy spirituality is ever relevant in the age where we are being relentlessly engineered.
Materialism is an ugly distraction.
Materialism is the literal obstacle in your way to spiritual enlightenment, you’re looking towards objects with imaginary prices defined with imaginary numbers with imaginary values attributed to pieces of paper (or whatever they use to make money); how is that meaningful whatsoever? You are loving the malleable, unreliable creations of men, not YHWH, our Elohim who created it all, the immovable rock, the bastion of truth, all else shall fade away, but the immaterial spirit shall never die.
Romans 1:25
They exchanged the truth of Elohim for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator, who is forever worthy of praise! Amen.
Psalm 37:1-2
Do not fret because of evildoers, Be not envious toward wrongdoers. For they will wither quickly like the grass And fade like the green herb.
*Jesus – The Greek attempted transliteration of the Messiah’s true name, Yahusha. Seems to be a contraction of the pagan Christianity founded by Rome combining Hesus, Horus and Krishna, hence Jesus H. Christ, never seen in the original Scriptures and a blasphemous addition of the lying scribes, that sought to unify the pagan Gods of Roman demesnes to boost stability for worldly reasons.
Jeremiah 8:8
“How can you say, ‘We are wise, And the law of Elohim is with us’? But behold,the lying pen of the scribes Has made it into a lie.
*God – A title that attempts to mirror ‘Elohim’ but seems to be a contraction of Gadriel, another name for Satan.
