I think the suggested Illuminati symbolism in the opening and closing ceremonies is highly disputable and mostly in the eye of the (usually) fundamentalist Christian beholder who thinks he can see it. However, one thing DID bother me and give me pause for thought:
Did you notice just how DARK, PAGAN and (yes, SATANIC) everything was in the scenes of the ceremonies? Yes, I know, William Blake's "dark Satanic mills" of Britain's 19th century industrial landscapes inspired Danny Blake in his creation of the opening ceremony (so much so that he seemed absurdly fixated by the motif). But the crowd scenes looked sometimes like orgies or damned souls from old paintings of Dante's Inferno. The images and energies generated were constantly grim, menacing and dark - so much so that I turned off my TV in disgust. They were very disturbing and totally inappropriate in the context of the Olympics.

Thanks for the link, I especially liked how it pointed out the blatantly obvious biblical connections, which is why using the Bible as a source material is unavoidable, no matter your religious preference, if you even have one.

There is a Christian undertone because the antiChrist has been forwarned for nearly 2000 years. It's no secret.
People see satan all around them, they see secret societies and conspiracies all around them, yet will not turn to Jesus Christ and be saved.
Strange how they see evidence of occultism, exactly as the Bible fortold, yet won't recognise that same truth of Jesus. Why one without the other?
You really can't help some people.

Holy #, you're telling me that no one could see the true meaning behind the ceremonies, and had to be 'enlightened' by a youtube member. Come on people, i knew what they were doing when i was watching it live...

I don't believe you have to be religious to believe in this stuff. I don't claim any religion yet still hold the belief that one or a collective can absolutely conjure spirits of good and evil to help further a cause. The reason that evil is so successful right now is because they have the cooperation of the mindless (and half minded) masses. People need to stop providing their precious energy, resources, and self-respect to these disgusting "people" and their agenda.
Although, I often have to refrain from feeling as though it's gone too far and is too late to reverse the damage that's been done. As they say, you can't unring a bell.

One correction re the "Closing Ceremony"; the athletes always come in as one (unlike the "Opening" where they come in as separate nations). One of the additional videos stated that this was the first time that they came in as one. Another note from the first video is that Jay-Z was wearing a T-shirt that had the blatant satanic slogan "Do As Thou Wilt" (the video showed it but failed to point out the satanic meaning).
A. Your Duty to Self: describes the self as the center of the universe, with a call to learn about one's inner nature. Admonishes the reader to develop every faculty in a balanced way, establish one's autonomy, and to devote oneself to the service of one's own True Will. B. Your Duty to Others: An admonishment to eliminate the illusion of separateness between oneself and all others, to fight when necessary, to avoid interfering with the Wills of others, to enlighten others when needed, and to worship the divine nature of all other beings. C. Your Duty to Mankind: States that the Law of Thelema should be the sole basis of conduct. That the laws of the land should have the aim of securing the greatest liberty for all individuals. Crime is described as being a violation of one's True Will. D. Your Duty to All Other Beings and Things: States that the Law of Thelema should be applied to all problems and used to decide every ethical question. It is a violation of the Law of Thelema to use any animal or object for a purpose for which it is unfit, or to ruin things so that they are useless for their purpose. Natural resources can be used by man, but this should not be done wantonly, or the breach of the law will be avenged. For instance, deforestation can cause soil erosion.
so basically... I am god, you will worship me because that's what I created you for, and if not you're damned to hell forever. Don't seek answers in this universe, don't expand your knowledge, only worship me. To be honest I didn't watch that video because I told have time to listen to an hours worth of scripture reading.. So can you just sum up why meditation, astral projection, spirit conjuring ext is a bad thing?

The video below thoroughly examines the occult in all of its various practices, showing why it is satanic to the core and that it is the source of a large number of lies and false teachings being spread on a world wide scale today. In this period in history, this shouldn't have to be pointed out to anyone especially who regularly goes on a website like this because its become so obvious, whether you call yourself a Christian or not, but unfortunately it does, so the video below should put this doubt of the malicious nature of the occult to rest.

No, I completely understand it and that's why I don't follow those teachings.
