"The Winners of the Future"

“The winners of the future are going to be those who can still concentrate, and have the patience to learn and absorb actual context in depth.  The losers are going to be the people blindly reacting, lacking any and all context…the powers that be want us to have no context. That's why when there are revolutions, the first thing the communists, the authoritarians, the socialists do, is they tear down the statues. They don't want you grounded in your past. They ruin the libraries. They get rid of the Christians. They basically upend and tear out all the history books and rewrite them because a people without context are people that are easily manipulated ”

Chris Martenson

And one of our new taglines here at Nomen Christi is…

the future is catholic!

be on the cutting edge

…and it appears we are in the “quickening,” the phase of exponential acceleration, so don’t think the future is that far away.

"What Will Become of Us All?"

I would like to share this song by Chvrches (Scottish band), “Death Stranding,” released in 2019…arguably, the year the world began to change. It gives me hope that young people can still be so clued in and sensitive, even if it’s purely intuitive. The artists are always the prophets…

Let’s make a toast to the damned
Waiting for tomorrow
When we’re played out by the band
Drowning out our sorrows
What will become of us now, at the end of time?
We’ll be fine, you and I

Let’s draw a line in the sand
Keep it straight and narrow
We had it all in our hands
We begged and then we borrowed
What will become of us all at the end of love?
When we’ve stopped looking up?

You can take my heart
And hold it together as we fall apart
Maybe together we can make our mark in the stars, we embark
And keep us together as the lights go dark

Let’s tell the truth, just for once
Asking for an answer
Now that it’s all said and done
Nothing really matters
What will become of us all if we dare to dream?
At the end of the scene?

Let’s open up to the sky
Askin’ it for closure
'Least we can say that we tried
But it’s never really over
What will become of us all, at the end of the line?
Will we live? Will we die?

You can take my heart
And hold it together as we fall apart
Maybe together we can make our mark in the stars, we embark
And keep us together as the lights go dark
