Can you explain why you believe that this is spiritual propaganda? Or how it relates to this thread?
Regarding the first question: no, because I haven't even contemplated whether the term "propaganda" is even appropiate to use to refer to the information presented on the youtube channel being offered by you as containing beneficial knowledge and education about reality, let alone actually referred to it as "propaganda". That seems to be your rather blunt way of interpreting my comment to Purpapengus about "material gain", reading it into my comment. Perhaps to distract or degrade any actual things I've been talking about, which did indeed contain some things about the relation between propaganda and marketing, which in turn relates to attempts made at material gain.
Which brings us to the answer to the 2nd question, actually, it answers it already. Don't see the need to further elaborate. Especially if you already think it's too off-topic, yet did not feel the need to point that out to Purpapengus when you responded to him/her, perhaps because he/she was quite a bit more succinct with his/her commentary. With the additional effect of not saying all that much, even though it was still an excellent point and something interesting to think about. Better than a short dismissive response.
I don't have an issue with your post being off-topic. I don't think it is too off topic, it is jist an offshoot of discussion. I was just trying to se eif you meant to relate this to my OP.
However, not all that men may call “knowledge” is to be sought, because philosophies and views exist that are “falsely called ‘knowledge.’” (1Ti 6:20)
Some people today are like sponges; they soak up whatever they come across. It is all too easy to absorb whatever is around us.
But it is far better for each individual personally to choose what he will feed his mind. It is said that we are what we eat, and this can apply to food for both the body and the mind.
Yes, I on the other hand, am encouraging people here to consider that the information on the youtube channel linked in the OP, may be incorrect/false, and in that case falsely presented as knowledge about reality.
many of the sources wherever she got her stuff or ideas from (cause most of it sounds quite familiar to me, especially the main idea about the matrix and this reality being a matrix that we are creating to experience it, as you described it).
I think figuratively speaking, that accurate knowledge about truth/reality, or simply truth, is far removed from both you and her. The rest I mentioned about knowledge, accurate knowledge of truth, information overload, absorbing messages more quickly and accepting them without questioning or analyzing them, being selective instead, carefully keeping an eye out for those who are sifting the facts, exploiting the useful ones and concealing the others, etc., is all related to that point and to assist anyone here in analyzing any information that comes their way, in particular the stuff in this thread presented as knowledge or insight worthy of consideration.

Can you look at my OP and point out what you think is wrong with my statements that I made?

She does talk about these concepts, but that only adds vadility to what she is saying, because it is accepted by certain people. It does not take away from the rest of her message that some of the concepts she talks about are familiar. And she is able to unite all of these concepts with her own unique message to form her philosophy.
I do believe that not everything she says can be found somewhere else.

The knowledge being presented here is worthy of consideration, there is no reason that it should not be. Can you describe what you find in my OP that you don't agree with?
Leave your age and the sexual manipulation out.
at very least accept that the idea that you have all the answers is loony.
You may be right, but the fact that a 17yr old has all the answers is ridiculous. If you can't accept that then you're not being honest with yourself.

Yeah, I would read it if you shared it with me. I can open an amazon kindle account to read it. But i can't pay for any books using my paypal because I don't have money of my own to pay for books.
I am always open to hearing and discussing new perspectives on topics, and there is always more that I can learn about different perspectives.

Bored?
How can I be bored? I adopted two kittens who showed up at my back door and they're trying to kill each other on my desk right now.

They were oddly healthy and human adapted when they showed up a week ago.

Cats are...cats.
Kittens are baby cats. Predators.
But they are hilarious. And soft.
