IF YOU CAN DREAM IT
Once you realise that everything you do is influenced by what you "religiously believe," you start to view life differently. All life is spiritual. Unfortunately, most of our ideas about religion are narrowly constrained to church attendance
Many people don't recognise that even the schooling we go through is a form of religion, yet it essentially is, depending on its main patron. After God created Adam and Eve, the devil intervened by establishing an alternative framework for education, as stated in Genesis 3:5 (KJV): "For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." Therefore, the entire conflict between God and Lucifer hinges on education. Most of the "miseducation" in the world is directly sponsored by the enemy of souls subconsciously. Ultimately, we either have God as our educator or choose the wily old serpent as our guide:
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding."
Proverbs 9:10 (KJV).
Fast forward 6,000 years, and we see the mis-educational process that began in Eden continuing in schools, movies, music, LIESTYLE promotion and general literature. All of these elements can be observed in THE SANDMAN, the Netflix TV SERIES. Every time you watch a movie, recognise that you're sitting in a church, right there on your sofa, through your laptop or phone. Hollywood is a powerful altar with its own Gospel.
The educational processes continually work, indoctrinating their subjects with unmatched tenacity.
I want to highlight one of the themes this TV series addresses. The main character, Dream, is not God but a lesser deity who presides over the world of dreams. In that fictional world, every dream created is realised through his realm, which resembles a planet or the subconscious dimension through which all reality is formed. In one of his visits to Earth, He encounters Shakespeare, then a struggling writer in a bar, and gifts him with inspiration. Shakespeare later became one of the greatest writers, also known as "The Bard of Avon." Many of the Renaissance writers, especially in Europe, used occult powers to write. Available evidence suggests that Shakespeare was inspired by fallen angels, a claim that is easily verifiable on platforms like YouTube, where research on him abounds.
This allegation is affirmed by THE SANDMAN. Great writers such as J.R.R. Tolkien (THE LORD OF THE RINGS) and his fellow Briton C.S. Lewis were also influenced by fallen angels through membership in THE INKLINGS, a club associated with Rosicrucianism. This club also produced Charles Williams, a great English writer and secret society member.
The Law of Attraction teaches that you can become anything you desire if you dream it. While this idea is somewhat true, the Law of Attraction as secularly taught operates within a reality devoid of God, mirroring the desires that inspired Lucifer in Heaven. This fall Satan is thus pictured by Isaiah 14:13 (KJV): "For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north..." It doesn't matter how perfect your life may seem; without God, it can crumble at any moment. Your most valuable asset is a soul secured by God through accepting Jesus Christ. If it’s true that the unholy trinity inspired Shakespeare, what impact do you think those books, as well as those of J.R.R. Tolkien, have had on humanity?
Dreaming without God means disregarding His wisdom and depending on oneself for mastery and success, yet the Bible has countless warnings against self-trust: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9 (KJV). Besides, scripture is clear that we are fallen beings, a deformity that fundamentally affects our ability to dream right: "I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me." - Romans 7:21. Even if we were perfect, just like Adam and Eve before sinning, the moment we step outside of God's perfect will, our downfall begins. Soon after Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, everything changed. The ground became cursed, temperatures became uneven, and they now needed clothes to keep warm.
They watched with horror as leaves wilted, died and fell off trees. Animals would soon start feeding on each other.
No wrong idea is harmless, yet popular media continuously pushes false concepts on us.
The notion that people don’t really die was also propagated by Lucifer in Eden, as seen in Genesis 3:4 (KJV): "And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die..." Most movies reinforce this idea in various forms, leading individuals to believe that through reincarnation, their sinful souls can eventually be redeemed. This teaching is foundational in all false religions that are collectively referred to as Babylon in Revelation. Besides, it stands in direct opposition to God's teaching that those who die without Christ will face judgment when He returns; in the meantime, the dead remain dead. How often do we see movies about ghosts or the walking dead, which contradict scripture?
Ecclesiastes 9:5 (KJV) reminds us: "For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten."
During these end times, the idea that we don't REALLY DIE has been widely propagated, producing unimaginable evils. At the very last moment in the Earth's history, it will also be used to manufacture a grand deception. In the SANDMAN TV Series, the world experiences nightmares because Roderick Burgess, a sorcerer, refuses to accept the death of his son. He desires to resurrect his son, who has died in war, through MAGIC, by conjuring DEATH, one of the seven endless characters in the TV series; the other six are Despair, Desire, Dream, Destruction, Delirium, and Destiny. However, Burgess and his fellow witches capture the wrong one, Dream of the Endless and utterly fail in their misguided project.
Though fictional, Roderick Burgess’ experience in the SANDMAN confirms that anyone who refuses to accept the finality of God's word as the ultimate truth opens themselves up to all manner of demons and fallen angels who symbolically occupy Babylon, the false religion, as unclean birds:
"And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird."
Revelation 18:2 (KJV).
