That first one has a Manson sample. "Many of your dreams will be destroyed."

The rest of it is, "When all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed."

Kind of a profound thought.

If you have nothing left to wish and hope for, you have no dreams left.

We have to always keep our dreams and hopes alive. It's actually a very positive idea. It's just constructed as a warning.

In the reverse you can see it in the boredom and decay of people who have everything they could ever want. What's left to hope for?

“An alternate interpretation could be that we sometimes wish for things that would - without us realizing it - destroy our dreams.” -

leithian

We're in an expectation engine. So, absolutely. We could derail ourselves temporarily from our dreams by going in a different direction, but everything you choose is ultimately a lesson for your soul, so in that regard, it's impossible to make an incorrect choice in terms of what your soul needs to learn, or what source needs for you to enact in order to continue to heal fragments.

Some people were put here to heal extremely dark soul fragments. There's no getting around that.

As much as everyone loves to hate on Marilyn Manson, he transmuted extreme darkness for a lot of people and likely saved their lives through his music. Everyone is here for a reason.

“Hating on that fella is a class on insecurity... Most of the time. He's a fucking treasure and he knew what he was doing.” -

I often went with my friends to all of his Florida tour dates as a kid. There were many protesters outside the shows, freaking out. The protesters were the only ones ever to get arrested. And the news would warp what happened. It was one of my first experiences watching in real time how the media warps real events. Extremely eye-opening, powerful experience to have at 15/16, and I'm sure it colored the way I look at the world.

I also saw the way crowds would just bend to him. He turned it into performance art. He was making fun of them for groupthink. And I was looking around me at everyone chanting and stomping like they were at a revival or a Nazi rally. And I understood we haven't grown. So this was interesting to see a resurgence of this in the past few years. I was shown it, and it happened.

This is the song the sample is from. The lyrics are disturbing but also eye-opening and they really make you think. This was what drew me to his music most. The lyrics were highly intelligent at a time in which most producers were dumbing them down to capture international markets. And often, they were self-reflexive. You could use his lyrics to do shadow work. You never want to stay there. That's not the point. But if you need cultural psychopomps to guide you through hell and out again so you can learn from it, who better than Marilyn Manson and Trent Reznor? (Reznor produced this album.)

“The original was some thrash/metal instrumental. But it was timed out perfectly, with moments in the music matching moments in the animation. Often in perfect rhythm. Truly amazing.” -

The removal of farmland is scripted obviously. This is so pointed especially with the Fake Meats that are on the market. The lab food is the replacement for the masses. The critical point to recognize is much of that food talks about it is great for climate change. However, there is no mention of the nutritional value to the human. It is quite reprehensible.

If the point of a compass was centered on Fresno California, and a 100 mile radius was drawn, the circle formed would reach across the most vital and productive growing region in the world. Although this 100 mile circle covers less than 1% of the total landmass of the United States, it produces nearly 1/2 of its fresh fruits, vegetables and nuts – more than 250 different crops rich in vitamins and nutrients essential to human survival.

I live on a farm within this region, and this last year much of the oranges were left on the ground to rot. When you drive along the coast on the 101 near Salinas you see a lot empty farmland covered with dirt which used to be full of crops!
