    What is relatable is how many Scottish people immigrated to America and Canada from the 1600's up until around 1920. Also considering the role Scots had in the founding of the United States. The Scottish Rite and the Masons were highly influenced by Scottish people as well. Also just the over all Celtic connection to the "New World", so to speak. Think about the French and Indian War. Scots made up a vast majority of forced labor, pressed troops, indentured servants, half the Europeans that migrated to America came from the British Isles. Brits had a way of resettling their less desirous ethnic groups from those times at least. Celtic people in general were regularly getting the boot, which is how one of my ancestors arrived in America. He was actually English. From Bedforshire in the late 1600's. But their were thousands of poor Scottish immigrants too, that came over, other than my relative. Many died of "flux" upon arrival in places like New Orleans. Malaria and dysentery were really bad back then. Immigration from Britain as an Island itself, to America was steady for several hundred years. English language quickly took over Spanish and French too. That's what's relative. Scots fought in every major war in North America since arrival from JamesTown settlement, I believe.

Then add all the people and cultures from all over the world that live there with those people so it's the biggest mix of cultured and people's living together and even then from state to state is something is completely different even sometimes cities.

    It has existed for such a long time, people might not be fully aware of the issue, very incredibly low vitality. This is basically a condition called Jecethmeqeswyeq, in proto-Celtic. It means having no correct, energizing patriarchal attribution; among the blessings that follow from such are energy, vitality and renewal. Energy which people have- and I believe they have to rest, languish and "nest" a great deal, following the portents to do so which are correct- this comes from the Lesser Countenance, using that hermetic Tree diagram; the first of the Greater, or Arik Anpin is Binah, which- perhaps inverting that Tree for physical- is the place of this very Root issue. Binah-less is also very much the meaning of Jecethmeqeswyeq. After that incredibly ill-portended revolution, the Arik Anpin attunement of Americans was on the average more than 80% less than in the quality european countries (many in error and corruption due to Monarchism, which should have cessated). This could be called a priesthood, ancestral, or Transmission cursing; those Sons of Liberty all became Sons of Perdition, in fact. So, in Thejerexzen, or Shifting, one accepts that there is no novel Patriarchal Attribution which came into existence with the nefarious country foundation, called American; U.S.A. is also a Mayavi, Jeqreuq, or Illusory term. Impaired English blessing is probably correct. The true Name of the land is best and veraciously Nova Scotia, or Alba Nuadh. The Anglican or English Patriarchal Attribution was removed from the earth, long ago- at which time that of this entire land became fully Celtic. The English language is very Jecethmeqeswyeq, accordingly- there's no good portent for use of it; the best omen is for Scottish Gaelic, Irish Gaelic and German possibly but less probably best. The country could have Binah, this would involve some sacrifice, as the above; sacrifice of some false pride, complacency possibly, as well. There are also some subtle or occult issues, such as Shifting Patriarchal Direction, National Direction- Thejerexzen- in addition to these conceptual, practical ones...

    I’m American 🇺🇸 of Scots and Ulster Scots ancestry, my granny was born and raised in Belfast and I travel to Scotland often because I love it!
    Funny how Trump has reshaped the opinion of America and I say that with mixed feelings because he is a pompous narcissistic ass with a piss poor vocabulary but he actually did some great things here for the economy and bringing back some long gone patriotism…and his mother was born and raised in Lewis, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.
    I think it’s hard to compartmentalize Americans as we are such a melting pot of ethnic groups and diversity and our country was founded upon that. Now we’re living with this new “Woke Lib/Dem Culture,” that people outside of The USA couldn’t possibly wrap their heads around and even a lot of us don’t get either…it’s over the top!
    No most Americans are not living “The Reality TV” life…those of us with a wee bit of grey matter 🧠 don’t subscribe to that.
    Gun violence is indeed a huge problem because firstly our Constitutional Right To Bear Arms has been taken out of the context in which it was originally written and should be redetermined for the times we live in. We know longer have the civilian responsibility to form militias to fight The British 1776…
    I’m from rural Western Pennsylvania and we are completely different from Californians or Floridians. I lived in Florida for several years, very different. Now I live in South Carolina just a bit below North Carolina where I also have family. People are totally different here! We Northern Yankees tend to refer to them as “Rednecks and Hillbillies.”
    Lastly yes, Americans of all sorts, do identify quite strongly with our ethnicities from Europe or from whence we came and that will never change. It’s quite normal for one American to ask another American “what they are” especially if one has a certain appearance or surname. We are experts in who is Italian, Greek, Eastern European, Jewish, Irish and Hispanic. Yes Scotland, we do identify with our heritages, lol!!
    It’s a massive country and it’s diverse and divided but there’s many good people still here.

    I'm always curious by the fact that people think Americans think our country is the greatest country on the planet. When I conversate with people, especially when I'm gaming online, you're very hard pressed to find a guy who actually believes that. You'll probably find them as often as an Irish person will find a fellow countrymen who says Ireland is the greatest country on the planet.
    I play with a guy from Ireland, and alot of Australians and they'll always repeat this stuff "Americans always think they're hot shit." And I just say to them "you literally have a bunch of Americans here and none of us are saying that." I love these guys and we always have a good laugh in the end and I hope one day I can visit and have a drink with them. But I think it's a stereotype from a long time ago. Alot of Americans are pretty self conscious about what the country is doing these days and they know the country isn't perfect and will never be perfect and that there is alot to fix. And as we have gone through the decades, I think more of us have discovered how great the rest of the world and it's people are, and we'd love to visit and make friends and learn about your histories, and pastimes and demeanor and politics directly from you. It's definetley always a welcome eye opener.

    As an American, I definitely 100% agree with the negative comments because we all live through it and it's become exhausting. A bit of vanity, pride, and overwhelmed by politics and propaganda-based media rather than just having the news report facts and let us decide what they mean. I have Scottish heritage so that's why I looked this up, and I do feel like we have been in a bubble for a long time for those of us that live in a more domestic state, meaning travel less and don't know the world as much, because we've been pushed to believe we're the greatest country on Earth. We may be the richest and most powerful, but we have a ridiculously high poverty rate for a rich country, absolutely no public healthcare system (Obamacare isn't enough and people are going into MASSIVE debt just trying to stay healthy and live), we still have massive civil rights issues that effect a lot of people, poorly run and underfunded education, no real concrete plan for clean alternative energy, and the wealth gap is outrageous.
    I feel that also when the average American voices their concerns about the ACTUAL problems, they get shunned because we're programmed to think of ourselves as the greatest. But there's nothing wrong with being objective and honest about the issues we face and I think that's the first step to fixing those problems and using that optimism to drive to success rather than let ourselves be divided by the dominating political and media giants that seem to want to just take what they want from us and play their games and not use their power responsibly to fix major problems that we, the citizens, cannot fix on our own. I think at this point, Americans are EXHAUSTED by the political/media game and bullshit and lack of progress and it is very, very draining because the average person is paying a hell of a price. I'm glad that most of these Scottish people at least thought we were friendly. I'd love to go to Scotland one day with my wife and see the place of my ancestors.

Every country should think they're the best country deep down, that's kind of our form of playful banter. It's just a different culture. Of course there are always exceptions, some of the elderly can be racist or close minded, but I'd say America as a whole is really fascinated by other cultures. We completely know we're fairly ignorant to the affairs of the rest of the world, to other cultures and languages and customs. We want to learn! Trying to change that but our education system sucks...

    There are a basic 13 Hierarchical countries, which were listed by John Dee- the 13th (corresponding to the ogham Ngetal, I'll add) was Brytania. A very good while ago, the Anglican Patriarchal Attribution was removed from the earth, as also the Dutch and Finnish. The patron or friend deity of England, Bellona or Britannia, was also removed. The patron deity of Scotland is Qore; that of the U.S., Thor. Caillyech and Scotia, Great Goddesses, have also been special friends of the Scota. Now Scotland is correct to attribute in that 13th position, instead. England would do best to call their country Allbion; the U.S., Nova Scotia. Sons of Liberty- actually, Sons of Perdition- coined the Maravi term U.S.A. It is true that many Americans had an Anglican patriarchal attribution, that old aeon of all the movies, etc.; that is now impossible- the patriarchal attribution of this land, Illusorily called U.S.A., is Celtic; the top best language to speak would be Scottish Gaelic. Around 34 other languages can be cited as better than English for us. German and Irish Gaelic, possibly but less probably the best. Ireland, the other Celtic country, isn't one of the 13 Hierarchical countries- its attribution is with the Archetypical. An incredibly low vitality syndrome, pandemic, in the U.S.- the people are living in a patriarchal nether-zone, with neither attribution nor blessing. I don't think the people can experience renewal and revitalization unless they make these portended changes, along with certain inner or subtle "shifts". The American Revolution Miasm makes everyone weak and tired...

    Well, meet your best portended new Mother Country, Scotland- that's what I'd say to those of this land! It's not just a best portent thing, but it is actually the truth. This country and Ireland are of the Archetypical Countries; Scotland is one of the 13 Hierarchical Countries, having replaced Britain there. The Patriarchal Attribution of Anglican, or English was removed from the earth, long ago; that of this land became fully Celtic- it is not possible to have English Tonality; there is travail, even currently in effect- you may not fully realize it, but the reason for very incredibly low vitality, a bad case of "the blahs", perhaps a feeling like you're trapped somehow- it is because we are using a Jecethmeqeswyeq language, English. Use of Scottish Gaelic would be top best. Also, because of the use of a Jeqreuq name, America and U.S.A.. There is no patriarchal attribution associated with these names, and thus eventually they bring no energy. The result of Illusion and a pirate land-grab. One tries to prop up tonality with an Anglican conception and language; if one could relearn, to prop up tonality with Scottish rather; call this land by its true Name, Nova Scotia or Alba Nuadh, this would be remedial. That could be more Proper Tonality, even. It is like being trapped in a corridor of the existential Labyrinth, where perhaps you feel it is getting hard to breathe, unpleasant generally- this is not really a Maze-bright endeavoring. It was this zodiac grand aeon that the conceptual country U.S.A. cessated existentially, or died. People won't be able to get by pleasantly with that old formula- this is a Reformulation Type aeon; a Renewal one as well- but there cannot be any real renewal nor revitalization unless this would change, and possibly some sort of remedial yoga, as well... some Remedial education, about that revolution, too perhaps...

  • @nylehotaling675
    @nylehotaling675 Před 2 lety +1

    The scottish accent- every bit as auspicious as the British- but for us, would be better to use; best of all, Scottish Gaelic. The Speech Devi, or some one, revoked a blessing from Americans, delightfulness of speech. I've been trying to impart, that the patriarchal attribution of the U.S. is Celtic, no longer Anglican- the latter attribution was removed from the earth. Having no good or vitalizing such attribution correctly, Americans are Jecethmeqeswyeq, that is, without a correct patriarchal attribution nor blessing. This is like a handicapped condition; very incredibly low vitality is pandemic. We seem to get by with English, but I'd not recommend any "chewing the fat" in English. Here is an experiment, that might help convince of this: On the solar day, Afetefebeqel- best today, rather than to interpret Azebulejube- do some mantra, out loud or just inwardly: Caillyech Goeff Broghech, which is ancient Manx for Scotland Live On; they thought of themselves as Scottish, then. Or, Caillyech Beine Brich (Brix, like German ch in Buch); maybe Alba Gu Braith... Some hours are better than others. Many had good energy with a good English Tonality way back, but to prop up tonality as Celtic is more correct, and remedial. There's no Britannia anymore; Scotland takes its place in the list of 13 hierarchical countries. Eternally charmed by English-ism? It's alright to remain charmed by some of their works, such as the creative pop music! First Day of Aries is by the current calendar setting 14th of Qepecmepu- every Aries (Umkethexgeq) First, reset the Weeks calendar to Azebulejube, next day Afetefebeqel, etc., Weqpef last, the Saturn Day. Otherwise such observances aren't as efficacious. The Name U.S.A. can inhibit such improvement- to escape the Miasm, it would be a great deal better to call it Nova Scotia, actually its true name.

    The lyrics go:
    And did those feet, in ancient times
    Walk upon Alba’s mountains green
    And was the sojourn of first Celts
    In Allbion’s pleasant pastures seen
    And did the countenance divine
    Shine forth upon the clouded hills
    And were the Albannach founded here
    In Nova Scotia; in this land?!
    Bring me my bow of burnished gold
    Bring me my arrows of desire
    Bring me my staff; O clouds unfold
    Bring me my chariot of fire
    I will not cease from soulful gnath
    Nor shall I tread Jeqreuq path
    “Til we have built New Alba here
    In Jebceblesev, pleasant land!
    Notes: Allbion- the best name to call formerly Britain;
    Jeqreuq- names like America and U.S.A., of an Asynchronization, or error;
    Jebceblesev- an ancient name of this land.

    People have sought remedial and improvement methods- basically, there's only one real method for such, in this land. It was made as a Not-Race Land; out from Race- but clinging to Monarchism- lands. A Not-Race Land is called Tedehed; a Race Land, Rezefede, in Okebeni or proto-Celtic. There's a big difference. Having no Race attribution, Blessing nor Energy; having not Rezefede in other words- there is a type of Energy which Race Apostates can usually live off of, Heqsesethex. Race Energy is called Wyethqar- no one has had this, since the inception of that flag, neither was it possible to have Religion, The Spirit or Sacred Spirit, Race Blessing. In old religion's language, living off Heqsesethex is having as a Ruler, The Prince Of The Air. The American President The False Prophet personified, leader of many not Race. The deceptive potency in the names America and U.S.A., would appear to be quite strong. There exists no Race called by that name, American; illusory Names Of Asynchronization, called Jeqreuq in Okebeni. These names became of Forbidden, with that old Aquarius aeon. One can notice they have a subtle hostile, pernicious, or violent suggestion. This land was obtained in possession through most forbidden means; all involved are eternally of Perdition, in fact. To shed blood so is not justified; all that was justified for them was suicide, types more accursed from birth. The characteristic Miasm, involving generally very incredibly low vitality, energy, renewal, spirit- in this the language issue is primarily culprit, English language. There no longer exists an English or Frisian Race, no Sign or Channel for it, since very long ago. Such languages are called Zybit, originally Pyu, or of an impure race, made through a forbidden mixing. An Urwetu Race, otherwords. Therefore, to make this a Rezefede Land, the name should be changed to Alba Nuadhl or Nova Scotia; the best language, Scottish Gaelic, German and Irish being only a little less surely best. Race Blessing and Energy would be the very best medicine for the Miasmic condition, distone, lack of greatest blessing...

    For most other countries.... let's say countries part of GB or the EU..... the population of the US is vast.
    So... there are about 68 million people in the UK..... well there are very likely 68 million US citizens that DO fit every bad stereotypes, and then there are very likely 68 million US citizens who are the exact opposite. But people filled with xenophobia or some other issue choose to only look at the bad of the US while only considering the good of their own country.
    I have a friend originally from Scotland who has lived in Switzerland for the last 30 years.... he and his swiss-german girlfriend traveled the US for several months in 2017.
    When he got back home, we were having a chat and I asked him what he thought of it.
    He said.... well, most of the people in Scotland and Switzerland are average.... but in the US there are LOTS of obese people, but also LOTS of extremely fit people.
    I remember that every time I hear someone talk about the US being fat.... seems to me that they conveniently ignore the people who are far more fit than the people in their own country, because its definitely a thing in the US. Its a huge lifestyle where people plan their day around their workout and their meals are designed around health. But everyone fails to acknowledge them when thinking about "Americans".
    So yes... there are probably as many obese US citizens as the entire population of your country.....and there are probably as many near Olympic athlete level fitness US citizens as the entire population of your country. Consider that next time you call "Americans" fat. Unless you simply want to embrace your xenophobia and you're comfortable with being a liar, or ignorant.

    Some people tried to go live in Scotland; there was a negative omen for that. True, they could lose the Miasm, characteristic of Americans; a Root Miasm, which causes the condition of very incredibly low vitality, even as at present. A primary reason for this is the condition caused by The British Empire, a broad-scale Anglicisation. All Anglicised Celts have this Miasm; it became much worse over here, though. The term Anglo-Saxon has no legitimate meaning, except as perhaps for Anglicised Celts; it is a rut which many have fallen into. Not only are they unwisely using the language of someone else's Rezefede (Race Sign or Channel), but in fact the English or Frisian such was permanently removed from the planet, long ago. It is not possible for there to be an English man nor woman. There appeared to be some grace or allowance for use of the names America and U.S.A.- but in a single day, due to an Otherworld judgement, this was removed; those Illusory Names of Asynchronization have been of Forbidden, since that time. There exists no race called by that name, nor has there ever; nor will there ever be. There are the 13 Hierarchical Nations; in ogham Celtic or Albannach is the Ngetal; German is the Saille (now correctly the last month calendrically)- English or Frisian, which came from an unwise, inobservant mixture of two pure, basic lines- Okebeni or proto-Celtic, and Germanian, was correctly Archetypical of Hierarchical Saille, Germanian. None of the 13 basic lines should mix for reproduction. With English a real problem was caused in the world- as also, with a deceptive American Revolution, by nature of Perdition. Perhaps ye are then of the Deceived, with the Mark of a False Prophet- that is precisely the origin of the Names America, etc.. The False Prophet of The Anti-Christ (now better not to use the name Christ, as the god was Removed, but perhaps Anti-God). An incredibly great deal better would be to change the land's name to Alba Nuadh or Nova Scotia; the language used to Scottish Gaelic. It is possible to have Race Energy; from the start, this was not possible, neither Personal Power, so called. Race Energy, best remedial for the Miasm... there's no other means for betterment, the issue being both somatic and spiritual as well. I've used the term Celtic Redemption... Valiance is what brings best blessing; be valiant in discarding what is deceptive, false, or of makeshift mediocrity... this land's Over Sign became fully Celtic, Albannach...
