THE THESIS: The theory of Mass Formation (often called Mass Formation Psychosis) is a fitting explanation for much of what we see in our lives today as our friends somehow believe the unbelievable. “Giving out heroin will help drug addicts”, “my mask protects you, your mask protects me”, “America has an ‘infinite amount of money.’” Concerningly, it also explains the cruelty of friends and former friends due to one another on behalf of The Party’s narrative: firing people for refusing the mRNA, calling the State against parents who will not “trans” their kids, burning down businesses “to solve racism.”  If we remember our battle is not against flesh and blood but spirits, we can turn again to God to help people regain the ability to see truth. Then, we must focus our energies on the people who have not yet fallen for The Party’s lies. 

THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES: 

Ephesians 6: 10-20 

The Full Armor of God

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

13 Therefore take up the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to stand your ground, and having done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness arrayed, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness of the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18 Pray in the Spirit at all times, with every kind of prayer and petition. To this end, stay alert with all perseverance in your prayers for all the saints. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will boldly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it fearlessly, as I should.

THE NEWS & COMMENT:

People in Mass Formation will agree to absolute insanity, all in the name of The Party’s narrative

. . . they will say things in the name of The Party that are blatantly silly and false.

Author Mattias Desmet has written a book that will help people understand how Mass Formation works, who falls for it (and who doesn’t) and how we can help people escape it’s control.

Desmet has given a couple of recent interviews that inform our discussion today.
