The conundrum of religion versus family traditions...Blessing of the Baskets

Today is Holy Saturday in the Catholic tradition.  I rejected religion when I was a teenager.  I just did not believe it.  I tried explaining this to my parents and grandparents...unsuccessfully.  I have tremendous respect and appreciation for family traditions.  One of those traditions was taking the basket of food to church on Holy Saturday to have the PRIEST splash HOLY water on it.  An odd ritual looking back on it now.  I was told  that uneaten blessed food must be burned.  
I spent one of my Easters in Krakow Poland and stopped many people to photograph their beautiful baskets.   This is the insidious nature of religion and holidays.  They parasitize good will, emotions, and family attachments to insinuate themselves into your life.  They then manipulate you into delusion via illusion.

  I propose that none of the pop musicians, actors, celebrities, government officials are what they present as. The kabuki theatre of Joe Rogan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Peter Frampton, and Barry Manilow is an example of how their hive harvests attention from manKIND. Where did Peter Frampton even come from? I have already posted the bizarre stories of Barry Manilow and Neil Young. I also propose that these entities can never exit the stage...of life. Joni Mitchell at 78 is called upon again to come on stage in this Rogan charade. This is another bizarre one, filled with anger and vengeance even at its elderly age. I found this interview from ten years ago VERY revealing. "I'm a freedom freak." Interesting statement in the context of the current vax-o-mania. In 2010..... Contrarily, during an interview with the LA Times in 2010, the interviewer compared the two of them, which the report claimed that Mitchell fiercely refuted this comparison and stated: “We are like nigh...

I had been sending donations to Ensemble Ptashitsa in Russia for many years.  After each of their Youtube livestreams, I would send 20 dollars or so.  I always received an email of gratitude from Ivan, the leader of the group.   When the Russia Ukraine event started, I got my Paypal account locked and my bank account was locked as well.  I was able to get my bank accounts back, but to this day cannot link Paypal to my bank account.  I could no longer send donations.  Ivan released a statement about not getting deceived by stories in newspapers on Ukraine and Russia, used to divide us.  It was a brave statement inferring media fakery.  There were ALWAYS many Ukrainians in the livestream chats of Ptashitsa.  These illusions of borders and countries could not be clearer.   A year after my donations stopped due to this "war",  I received a Ptashitsa calendar in the mail from Ivan, signed by the group.  He said thanks for ...
