Prophecies For 2010
Dec 31, 2009 | 11:36 AM PST

Faith
It has turned out that the first two books of the WAKING GOD TRILOGY
have become prophetic. With a plot set in the current time and near
future, the books have plotted a course that exposes the seeds that
humanity has sown and the bitter fruits of the harvest. In a sense, the
books are a reflection of the mass consciousness. Those familiar the
"web bot" prophecies will understand that predominant human thought
creates the predominant human reality. This 'fact' has been revealed in
the quantum physics where we are told that clearly, mind shapes the
world in which we live.
WAKING GOD is somewhat post
APOCALYPSE. Of course, contrary to religious scare tactics, apocalypse
means revelation, not the end of the world. In fact, Book II, THE
SACRED ROTA, actually picks up after the world ended in 2012. Oh, I
should mention that the world, also contrary to religious fanatics,
does not end in 2012. However, this is a significant event that forever
alters the course of human evolution-the manifestation of the GOD
SEED-a genetic mutation that activates that alters humanity. A little
too sci-fi? Not really. In fact, there is a lot of new information
floating around talking about "spontaneous evolution." In WAKING GOD,
we maintain that our mitochondrial DNA contains latent genetic code
that will activate to change life on earth. I would advise that you
research the mitochondria, a strange source of power that contains its
own DNA and which, somehow, become a part of living cells. Science does
not even really know how it got there-the plot thicken for alien theory
enthusiasts. Sorry, the 2012 event is not revealed until Book III-now
in preparation.
For those of you not familiar with the story,
Adam, the metaphor for the god seed DNA, is dreaming himself into our
physical reality and seeks a physical birth. this event is opposed by
the angels, with michael as their leader, as his birth would negate the
need for 'messenger' services. The plan is supported by Lucifer, a.k.a.
Mantrella in the books, and is seen as the champion of humanity. This
is obviously a total reversal of dogma. Actual, 2012 will be a total
reversal of dogma.
So, if you were living in the world of WAKING
GOD, which you are, what events would seem likely to occur in 2010?
Here are the prophecies.
-Continued economic turmoil. Any notion
of a recovery is merely a spin to try to prevent consumer panic and
total economic collapse. Much of this will come to light in 2010.
Despite so called recovery on Wall Street, read alternative news
sources like the Huffington Post and you will see that our bread and
butter small banks are in deep trouble and continue to close.
-The
American dollar will continue to lose ground and do not be surprised if
it no longer serves as the of world trade. This collapse will deal a
harsh blow to the American consumer.
-Despite outrage, big firms
and banks will continue to rob from the poor to line the pockets of the
rich. All legislation to date has done nothing to stop their greedy
appetites but the well will begin to go dry. By the end of 2010, most
will be wondering what the hell happened.
-In Politics, one
cannot help but feel sorry for president Obama. A man with vision and
the right ideas will be thwarted at every turn. The compromises he has
had to make on health care will cost him the left and the right
basically hates him. Any environmental legislation will be a joke. Our
lack of leadership in this front will lose the U.S. its position as
world leader. China and Russia will push us to our limits to fill the
void and do not be surprised by new tensions between China and Russia.
The EU will try to come to the forefront but it lacks the consensus to
do so, not to mention the lack of a powerful leader. The UN will grow
in power to try to resolve world trade and political disputes. The West
will lose its capacity and welcome as any kind of world police. Other
global issues will require a world approach to try to solve and more
power will gravitate towards the UN. Of course, it will be too late.
The failures of world summits to make any meaningful gains has sown the
seeds of failure.
-Refugee issues will grow and many lives will be lost.
-Climate
change will increase in voracity, ferocity and impact. At this point,
the cause may not matter. But world leaders, or lack thereof, will fail
to effectively plan for crop failures, floods, droughts and sea rises.
Tensions and conflicts will begin to rise over these issues.
-Religious
conflicts and turmoil will continue to spread. The continued
polarization of religious thought will create violence as dying dogma
tries to survive. Alternative spiritual thought will continue to grow
but may come to blows with religious organizations. The death of the
Pope will create massive and survival issues for the "Church."
-New
astronomical events will not be pleasant. Recent reports of an increase
in solar radiation, even though there have not yet been a lot of
sunspots, and the passage of the helium galaxy through the milky
Way-yes, this is happening now-look it up-This happened 70 million
years ago and ended an earth age and started a new one. Quantum physics
will reveal a breakthrough truth.
The above events have their
roots in what has been happening in recent times and which are
portrayed in WAKING GOD. These events will occur in roughly the 2010
time frame as a sort of prequel to 2012. The prophecies are not meant
to cast a shadow or doomsday scenario. It is the contention of WAKING
GOD that these events are necessary to activate the god seed. Almost
all evolution stems from environmental stress-we will have plenty of
that.
Few of these events had to happen. Nostradamus, the
Mayans, the Hopi, DaVinci and others gave us ample warning. We have let
these events occur because we have thought ourselves impervious to our
own thoughts and actions. But as basic science has told us, for every
action, their is an equal and opposite reaction. Recent polls have
shown that while Americans believe there is climate change, they do not
see it as serious enough to do anything about. We were warned in the
60's by Rachael Carson about our polluting ways. We have let ourselves
be brainwashed by the collective marketing of Wall Street and have
ignored resource depletion. We have certainly not been our brothers
keepers. So what do you really expect? The best way to get through all
of this is to keep the light at the end of the tunnel in sight. Do not
give into fear. Prepare, but be willing to share.
Just for reference, the following are the web bot predictions:
Dire Web Bot Predictions
source: www.coasttocoastam.com
Here are some of their web bot predictions for the
remainder of 2008, 2009, 2012 (and beyond):
* 2008 - In late March, look for massive
unemployment to take hold.
* 2008 - During the summer, a backlash against the
US government could involve a call to hold the
elections early.
* 2008 - As the housing industry continues its
collapse, there could be a seizure or lock-up of the
ability to transfer property.
* A "fuzzy revolution" could involve squatters or
collectives moving into empty or foreclosed homes.
* 2008 - In October, there'll be a major stock market
crash or a climate event that has a disastrous effect
on the economy.
* 2008 - There could be a major bank failure, possibly
involving a foreign bailout that is reneged upon.
* 2008 - 2 Earthquakes or Tsunami possible in
December.
* The governments are quietly preparing for untold
future calamity while focusing media attention way
from earth's real problems to trivial aspects such as
politics and popular culture.
* 2009 - Well known people will start suddenly
disappearing without explanation.
* 2009 - Earthquakes may damage dams and/or much
unprecedented flooding may occur.
* 2009 - People in rural areas will begin arming
themselves heavily and hoarding weapons and
ammunition.
* 2009 - Spring or Summer - A "global coastal event"
or process (possibly a tidal change) will involve a
rise in sea levels that will knock out oil refineries and
severely hamper sea ports.
* 2009/10/25 : A big crisis is kicked off. It could be that
Israel bombs Iran, or that Swine Flu goes into a level
of extreme lethality. 10 days later, in relation to this
crisis, the Obama administration will be thrown into
chaos. When Israel bombs Iran, they'll use a nuclear-
tipped bunker buster that will hit something
unforeseen underground. As a result, a radioactive
cloud will form that will pollute and sicken Southeast
Asia. This will cause much of the world to turn
against Israel.
* 2010/??/?? : The "Death of the Dollar" will be a
continuing trend, with a hyper inflationary period and
banking crises/confidence losses that will begin in
August 2009.
* 2010/08/?? : In South America, they'll be large or
mass sightings of UFO-related phenomena. A video
crew will interview an escapee from an internment
facility. The young bald man will later be revealed to
be a "non-Terran" human.
* Sustainable living will be the only way to survive the
upcoming economic change and food shortages.
* 2011/04/?? : "Global Coastal Phenomena" will be
gradual, the situation could be disturbing for many
people. Unusual movements of the Moon brought on
by anomalies in the magnetosphere could cause
coastal disruptions.
* 2011/05/?? : The magnetosphere problems could
lead to ultraviolet scorching of food crops. Grain
crops will fail, mainly in the Northern Hemisphere,
leading to food riots in the winter/spring. Specifically,
they'll be riots in Rome that will spill over into the
Vatican.
* 2011 - Extra-terrestrial aliens presence and/or
warfare possible.
* There will be an untimely demise for millions by
2012, brought upon by some combination of
pandemics, economic collapse, breakdown of health
care and unknown energies from space.
A WORD TO THE WISE IS SUFFICIENT!
There were no
“startling new secrets” in the SyFy show about 2012 that was hosted by Lester
Holt. Neither has the History Channel
show, “The Nostradamus Effect” shed any new light on the prophecies regarding
2012. The fact of the matter is, these
shows may end up in a self-fulfilling effect.
Basically, they have it all wrong, again.
Both shows are adding
to the atmosphere of fear regarding 2012.
If you follow the trends in quantum physics, it is becoming increasing
clear that the ancient were right all along; form follows thought. The shows basically portray three scenarios:
the world will come to an end; 2012 will be a new beginning; or, nothing will
happen and December 22, nd 2012 will be just another day. The basic reason that these shows have it all
wrong is because they are interpreting prophecy form a religious point of
view. The Christian Armageddon is
popular headline and scary images of death and destruction makes for wonderful
bylines and sound bites. However, such
interpretations are false and misleading.
The Mayans were not Christian.
The Hopi were not Christian. The
I Ching is not Christian. Further, seers
like Nostradamus and DaVinci and even Newton, while immersed in a dogma
controlled culture ruled by the Church, were all mystics and members of
mystical organizations. Their writing
were couched and coded in the religious terms of the day because, to do
otherwise, meant a nice hot stake. Even
John’s Revelation has been misrepresented.
The true meaning of apocalypse is not Armageddon, but rather to reveal,
uncover, and has been said, knowledge revealed.
How better to boost lagging tithes and fill emptying pews than to scare
people into believing that the Day of Judgment is at hand. Even Jesus said, “Judge not.” These same scare tactics have been used
throughout history to frighten the uninformed into the folds of religious dogma
and to create meek sheep that do as they are told. The sad past, like the wolf and red Riding
Hood, is that the shepherds are, in fact, the wolves.
In following these
shows, and of course the new movie, 2012, the world is destroyed several times
over. So, if this is what happens, live,
drink and be merry, for in 2102 all will be lost. There will be wars, famine, pestilence,
nuclear destruction, 30,000 foot tidal waves, super volcano explosions, massive
earth quakes, massive solar radiation, tectonic plate shifts, polarity shift
and, oh yes, a 1,000 years of peace.
There is no question that the images are dazzling. But again, get enough people believing this,
and they may actually cause it to happen.
Keep in mind, much of our current economic crisis is attributed to the
lack of consumer confidence, a thought form that may well prevent any serious
economic recovery.
The script of the skeptics
is equally absurd. According to them,
December 21, 2012 will be just another day.
Actually, it may be just another as Mayan calendar expert, Carl Johan
Calleman says that the real end date is October 28th, 2011. This notion is supported by acclaimed author
James Redfield of “Celestine Prophecy” fame.
In fact, according to Calleman, energies are already flowing to our home
planet and the recent world upheavals are offered as evidence. What bothers me most about skeptics is that
they tend to skeptical about everything.
It is that head- in- the-sand mentality that is disturbing. They believe that global warming and climate
change is a hoax; the economy would be just fine if government would leave it
alone; insurance companies have our best interests at heart; poor people
deserve to be poor; and, if there is global warming, there is plenty of dollars
to made in them there thermometers.
Be as skeptical all you
want that a sudden change will happen on a single. But you know, volcanoes blow in a single
day. Earthquakes cause tsunamis in a
single day. Empires have fallen and
risen from a single battle on a single day.
People are born and die on a single day.
This raises a point. In the books
“Waking God” and “The Sacred Rota,” a main protagonist by the name of Andrew
talks about ‘precipitating events.’
These events are single moments when history changes, even the lead up
to the event may have occurred in days, weeks or even years. The assassinations
of Lincoln, Kennedy, King were precipitating events; a single moment that
changed history. The start of World War
I, the A-Bomb, and the fall of the Berlin Wall were such events. To deny that this planet and all that dwell
therein are not in the throes of massive change is ludicrous. The economy, religion, education, health
care, the environment and the very fabric of society are on the verge of some
kind of massive change. Does this mean
destruction? Does it mean the end of
the world? Do we base our future on the
ranting of hell, fire and brimstone pulpits?
Do we hide our heads in the sand and go the way of the Dodo? Is this what all of the ancient prophecies
tell us? Will the final precipitating
event be December 21, 2012?
Like I said, if you buy
into the doom and gloom Armageddon scenario, go out and have some fun. It will all be over soon. The greatest disservice of presenting this
interpretation is that it generates the powerful force of fear. This fear may well be the undoing of
humanity. But this is not the message of
prophecy. The message is one of hope and
transformation. The prophecies herald
out the old and make way for the new.
Yes, the loss of ‘worn out dogma’ will be painful to many. We are no longer able to stay ‘comfortably
numb.’ Too much is happening and it is
happening at an ever increasing rate.
The prophecies all point to a ‘precipitating moment;’ a moment that will
forever alter the way we perceive the world.
The momentum has been building for some time, but a ‘day’ will come
where all must change. The seers tell us
that, just as in quantum physics, what we believe, we will see. What we seek, we will find. The door that we knock on will be
opened. What we ask for, we will
receive. The prophets also tell us that
we must beware of which doors we approach and what beliefs we cling to. They tell us that we have finally journeyed
to the end of the old ways and that to continue in those ways courts
disaster. We choose, that is our
birthright, choice. A great Avatar once
said, “Fear not.” Do not be mislead by
the false prophets of doom and do not be misguided by those who would have you
be led as sheep.
The silence is
deafening. I just came in from feeding
the horses and cleaning out the stalls.
My wife, Deb, has gone to do some errands. This would have been the first day in six
months that we could have gone out together for a simple thing like getting
groceries, but we figured someone needed to be here to take the phone calls.
Normally, Deb would be
gone early Saturday mornings. It was the
only time she could get out of the house for a break. At least I got to go to work every day, but
Deb works at home. When I came in this
morning, gone was the drone of the oxygen console and the blaring sound of the
Today Show. The morning coffee and
breakfast with Ma is gone. The making
fun of the stupidity of people in the news is gone. Only silence.
Silence can be your
friend, but it can also be unnerving.
Memories come flooding back to fill the void left by the absence of
noise; horses whose gallop will never be heard again; dogs whose tails no
longer knock over curios, and tongues that no longer lick the face; goats,
pigs, cows and chickens who no longer add to the morning symphony at
sunrise. And, of course, family and
friends whose presence no longer grace your life and who have moved on to that
unknown netherland. Then there are the
should’ves, wish I dids, if only’s, that surface from the depths of some
dormant cells in the cerebrum.
Irene McCollett, age
78, transitioned on October 30th, at 10:42 a.m. She passed in her bed at home with Deb
holding her hand. The transition went as
both Irene and Deb had discussed on several occasions. It was peaceful, no pain, and full of grace
and dignity. I had written a previous
story on this topic where I provided some of the details of the situation but
let me quickly recap. Irene had COPD. Two and half years ago she moved in with us
as she was not taking care of herself.
She was on 02 24/7 and she was not taking her medications. Her diet was atrocious. Since Deb was the only one who worked from
home, we gladly took her in. Last May,
she had a bout with pneumonia and we almost lost her. However, they discovered she had mesothelioma
and she only had about one quarter of lung capacity. They gave her six months and she was put on
home hospice care. Irene was still
functioning. While she often lost her
short term memory, she was still able to go to use her portable pot, she ate
fine on her own and was still capable of enjoyable conversation. Basically, she was still fun to have around. For a home care giver, however, it meant that
one of us had to be home at all times.
Over time, this does take its toll.
Offers to give us break were non-existent. Family can be funny that way. The few two times we had someone stay with
her, she basically had panic attacks. To
Irene, Phil and Deb were the only ones who could care for her. So, even though Hospice does provide a relief
service, we were unable to use it. There
was a nurse, Maria, that Ma and both of us came to love and Ma did let her stay
with her so we could go out for breakfast.
That was about a month ago.
About ten days ago, Ma
came down with early signs of a cold, a deadly virus to someone in her
condition. She was on anti-virals
immediately. It made her cranky and
irritable. After the course, however,
she did seem better. She began to eat
like a pig and was her old-self. Then,
on Thursday morning, the 29th, Ma would not wake up in the
morning. Nothing we tried worked. Her 02
levels were all over the board. Maria
came out and spent a better part of the day with us. We love her dearly. Irene was stabilized, although still
sleeping. She would react to conversation by twitching or shaking her head, but
seemed unable to open her eyes. Maria
told us that she may, or may not come out of it. It was not a coma, just a deep sleep. Later in the day, Don, her deceased husband
of over 20 years, told me to put on some 40’s music. Be as skeptical as you want, but that is what
happened.
The house seemed to be
filled with people dancing. It was as if
Don was simply going to dance her into the light. As some family members came over, ones that
did not have ‘time’ when she was functioning to come and visit, several
actually said they felt “presences” of other people. Deb said that her Dad grabbed her hand and
spun her around in dance. Way cool. With company gone and the music off, Irene
was resting comfortably. Deb slept
beside her that night. She hoped that
she would still come around. Truthfully,
I felt she was essentially gone; most of her spirit went with the last dance. It was not a restful night for Deb. She spent lots of time just watching her
mother. She did not want to break the
pact, that Deb would be holding her hand at the end. Come morning, Irene’s
breathing was very shallow. Maria came
out, and the four of us sat with her and waited. Deb then saw her father and mother walk off
into the light, hand-in-hand. Skeptics
will say this was the imagination at work.
But you know what? Life is just
the imagination at work. Several moments
later, without a twitch or a spasm, Irene had left.
Yes, there was
crying. But there was also laughter and
joy. Deb saw what she saw and was
happy. Ma left the way they talked
about. Gone were the struggles to catch
a breath. Irene’s face was glowing,
worry lines were gone; she seemed angelic, at peace and happy. Deb and Maria bathed Irene and put her in a
dress. It was comical. Irene was not very cooperative. And so, the phones calls have been made,
arrangements with the funeral home were done months ago, and on Tuesday, the 3rd,
Irene’s physical body will be placed beside her husband’s. I look at her room and see her ‘stuff.’ And you know folks, it is just stuff. Some will be given, some will be tossed, it’s
just stuff. ‘Stuff’ has caused wars and
terrible misery for billions. When it is
all said and done, the fight for stuff, the greed, the avarice, the economy,
Wall Street, the stimulus, the Middle East, it’s only about stuff. When the generals, politicians and Wall
Street executives’ die, some will ask, “What should we do with the stuff?”
Home hospice can be
tough. Even with the help, little of
which one should expect from family, it tries the patience. But, when it is all said and done, we would
not have done it any other way. It will
teach you not to fear death. It will
teach you what is important in life. And
so, Goodnight Irene, we’ll see you in our dreams! Thank you for being a part of our lives. We love you and will not forget you.
SPIRITUALITY, DOGMA, ATHEISM
Oct 27, 2009 | 8:41 PM PST
Category:
Faith
Does ‘spirituality’
bridge the gap between religious dogma and atheism? Is it the golden mean between an all powerful
dictatorial super being that creates good and evil, demands sacrifice and
unquestioning obedience and the totally mechanistic belief of the atheist? Can the two even be reconciled?
We are all familiar
with religious dogma. The
Judeo-Christian, Islamic traditions have dominated religious thought for
thousands of years. At the core of all
three is a super deity that demands worship, punishes the unfaithful, and has
no problem with each declaring the other as inferior and even evil. One has savior who died for their sins; one
has a savior yet to come; and the other says live a life by the rules and you
will be rewarded later. There is a basic
assumption in these religions that people are sinners and are doomed to eternal
punishment by an all loving god. All
rather silly. It would be easy to extol
the absurdity of most religions. And, it
is easy to see how a rational, thinking person would have issues with religious
hypocrisy and their history of blood and violence.
On the other side of
the coin, we have atheism. Basically,
atheists do not believe in a god or gods, shun any notion of the supernatural
and place their faith in reason, science, humanism and rationality. Essentially, atheism means, ‘without god.’ But, are
the options only god (s) and no gods?
The answer is that
there is another option; spirituality.
Yes, there is a difference between being religious and spiritual. It is important to state that spirituality
has been around longer than any religion; it is as old as humanity. Rooted in ancient mysticism from Chaldea,
Egypt and found in every civilization, spirituality was based in the concept of
gnosis, knowing. For spirituality, there
is no set doctrine, no dogma and no institution striving for
self-perpetuation. Spirituality is a
concept, a belief based upon personal enlightenment. What is interesting is that even though spirituality
is based upon individual epiphany, it contains a common thread that can be
found in the mystical teachings of all cultures; it has a universal commonality
(perhaps Jung is at work here).
In analyzing the
literature of mystical teachings, which all too often became perverted into
religions, “some” of the common threads include: a belief in an all pervasive
universal intelligence; all things are alive;
all things are connected, literally; universal intelligence thinks the manifest
world into existence and all higher levels of consciousness play an ongoing
part in this creation; reality is an illusion and is different from actuality;
we are what we think; there is no such thing as good and evil warring for
humanity’s soul; there is no death; life constantly seeks to express itself and
evolves into higher levels of awareness; there is no deity demanding servitude
and no deity that condemns, tortures or punishes; all that ever was, is and
will be, is here, now; while there are balancing forces in the universes, these
forces are nether good or bad; knowledge
is attainable through intuition and
meditation; the universe is basically objective; all things move in cycles
that spiral ever upward; and all things
are possible. Despite these and other
shared ideas, there is no church based upon these principles. There are groups, orders, brotherhoods and
societies that have formed to teach these concepts, but none seek to dominate,
condemn, proselytize, or war with others over ideology.
Much of what is
believed, or rather known, by those who have embarked upon a spiritual path is,
oddly enough, based in science and reasoning.
Is this the bridge between dogma
and atheism? It can be. Many scientists have expounded
mystical/spiritual ideas. Galileo,
Newton, Descartes, and Einstein had clear spiritual views on the nature of the
universe. And today, the breakthroughs
and discoveries in quantum physics are heading directly down the spiritual
path. The circle is closing. From direct knowledge, to skepticism, to
discovery and back; scientific thought is revealing as true, what mystics
taught in ancient times.
So what did people like
Heisenberg and Bohr and others say about the universe. The first tenet is that the
material-objective universe is not real, it is an illusion. The mind brings reality into existence
through observation. In actuality, the
universe is an interconnected sea of energy that only takes on substance when
it is observed. The subjective mind
brings the objective mind into what we call reality, and yet, it has no
independent existence; the observer and the observed are one. Quantum physics tells us that electrons can
be in two places at once and that they are waves of energy that only take on
physical existence when we look for them.
Essentially, the material world has no fundamental existence. Unless we discount quantum physics as ‘hum
bug,’ we have science telling us that those who base their reality on the
senses are gravely in error. There is
significant research and studies on this topic and if would behoove a seeker to
Google the topic, ‘mysticism and quantum physics.’ This is not meant to be an in depth study of
the topic, but rather a piece that raises the question for others to ponder.
If the mind brings
reality into existence, the question that must be answered is what mind brought
the first matter, electrons, atoms, molecules, planets, suns and galaxies into
existence? Does quantum physics ascribe
this to deity? I believe that the answer
is, “not yet”, but it is the logical conclusion. Quantum physics dismisses the notion that our
reality is the result of chance; that life was a lark that emerged from some
kind of chemical soup; and, that we are the whim of natural forces that are
beyond our control. The power of thought
as ‘the’ force that shapes our world is growing if efficacy. We have seen the power of the mind to heal,
and that thoughts do, indeed, create our lives and the way we live it. We know now that all things are energy. Thoughts are also energy that shapes the
observable world. Energy cannot be destroyed.
The underlying energy that forms the foundation of the universe is
neutral; meaning, it is neither good nor bad, it just is. Time is also an illusion and that it may even
be possible to travel into the past or observe the future. Does this not sound like, ‘all that ever was,
is and will be’ is here now?
While it is easy to
understand the trend in the denial of a super being in a white robe and beard
calling the shots in the universe, it should also be easy to understand that
science is bringing us closer to the notion that there is something, some form
of higher consciousness, that is creating and exploring the infinite potential
of life. It should also be clear that
since we, as humans, have the power to alter reality, there is probably
something that transcends our consciousness, something that, perhaps, we
express in our ever day lives. The
mystics are fond of the phrase, ‘as above, so below and as below, so
above.’ Simply, the microcosm, the
small, is merely an expression of the macrocosm, the big. The atom and the galaxy are one, and what is
true of one, is true of the other.
Perhaps atheists who
truly follow the emerging knowledge in science will find solace that their
rational thinking has actually verified the idea that consciousness is the
guiding force of the manifest universe.
They are right, in my mind, that there is no single deity making day- to-day
decisions about salvation, or what it will do next to alter the material
world. There is no deity(ies) to be
worshipped or that demand sacrifice. The
question is, are they ready to understand that deity is the All and that here
truly is no place where deity begins or ends.
It is the sea of potential wave energy, of which we are all a part,
waiting to co-create the next chapter in evolution.
I love synchronicity. When I completed this article I received an
interesting email. In it, it talked of
the works of Hawking, Bekenstein, Susskind and Maldacena. It’s premise was that,
“The materialistic paradigm is dead and buried.” It went on to discuss the Holographic
Principle as described in Michael Talbot’s book and in the introduction to the
book it says, “Put another way, there is evidence to suggest that our world and
everything in it -- from snowflakes to maple trees to falling stars and
spinning electrons -- are also only ghostly images, projections from a level of
reality so beyond our own it is literally beyond both space and time.” Again, the question is begged, who or what
projects the Universe? As we move to a
new 2012 paradigm, it is clear that the foundation of the ‘old world’ is
collapsing. We are familiar with the
movies that put forth the notion that magic died in ancient days because people
stopped believing in it. Now we are
seeing that consumer economics, old religious dogma and the materialistic
concept of society are passing because, no one believes it any more. The power of the Universal mind and all of
its expressions, us included, is creating a new reality; one that finds the ‘golden
mean’ between the extremes. This process
may seem chaotic. Witness global climate
change, political disruptions, religious strife, diseases and what some are
erroneously labeling the ‘end times.’ Ye
of little faith! From this chaos will
emerge a new reality, a new balance and a new harmony and new reconciliation.
WHEN DEATH COMES HOME

I am no stranger to
death. I have lost a brother, father,
aunts and uncles. Having done
farmsteading, I have lost many wonderful animal friends: horses, goats, dogs,
cows, chickens, cats, ducks and more.
But, it is a little different when death comes home. This story is about Irene, my
mother-in-law. She is not dead, yet.
Irene has lived with us
for over two years. We moved back to
Maine from upstate New York in 2005 and she moved in with us in 2006. She is 77 years old, had COPD and emphysema. In the spring of ’06 she was hospitalized for
pneumonia. We discovered at that time
that she was anemic, dehydrated, suffered weight loss and was not actively
taking her medication. This, to our
embarrassment was not at all obvious in our weekend visits. Basically, she could no longer care for
herself. She had been living alone in a
senior apartment, her husband having died many years earlier.
Irene is on oxygen 24/7
and she needed constant care and she could no longer self medicate. Being the only one in the family with someone
home all day, my wife works as a legal transcriptionist over the internet, we
decided that she would live with us.
Since that time she has gone from being hospitalized several times a
year for pneumonia to only once. About
six months ago she had a bad cold and into the hospital she went. She almost never came out. It was very close. But, she did recover and back home she
came. All has been well for some time.
A few weeks back she
had a sudden problem with breathing. At
3:30am the ambulance came. Tests showed
that one lung, which was operating at minimal capacity, had collapsed, for
good. It was also discovered that she
had two shadows on her lung, mesothelioma.
Treatment for this would either kill her, or make her hospital bound for
the rest of her life. There was no more
that could really be done at the hospital.
She qualified for hospice, meaning her life expectancy was less than six
months. She is now back home with
us. Hospice has given us an array of
drugs to keep her pain free and they call and visit at least once a week. They are really great and very
supportive. Irene will die here, at
home.
But you know, this
woman is tough. She does not know that
she is under Hospice care; she does not want to know. She is comfortable, alert and still a joy to
have around. Her day is spent mostly in
bed, but she does sit at her table at meal time. The drugs we give her are minimal because she
is not in constant pain. Occasionally,
she gets real short of breath and will take medication that helps. However, we know that death is here,
waiting. Irene has not given up. She is planning her 80th birthday
party. Despite the prognosis, she may
just make it. We can hope, eh? So, death may have to bide its time.
I will keep you posted
on Irene. Not so much for you, but for
me. After all, she is the mother of my
wife, and that makes her special!
BLASPHEMY OR ENLIGHTENMENT?

It is interesting to
study and look up words in the Bible.
For example, if you look for the word “saviour” in the Bible, these are
the only references in the four Gospels: LUKE
1:47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my SAVIOUR: LUKE
2:11 city of David a SAVIOUR, which is Christ the
Lord; and, JOHN
4:42 is indeed the Christ, the SAVIOUR of the world. None of these words were spoken by Jesus and
none specifically say that Jesus is saviour.
Luke and John say that Christ is the saviour, but did they mean Jesus or
were they referring to the concept of God within man, the Christ in each of us,
is a saviour?
I am sure that
fundamentalist, most whom have probably not even bothered to do this kind of
search, would insist that “of course the reference is to Jesus” and it does not
matter that Jesus never called himself the saviour. I think there is a great stretch of
imagination and wishful thing here.
If you look for the
word “save,” there is no reference that Jesus died or gave his life to “save”
you from your sins. The closest reference
is, JOHN
12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I
came not to judge the world, but to SAVE the world. Clearly a revealing choice of words. Jesus says, without much room for a differing
interpretation, that if anyone hears what he has to say and does not believe
him, that is okay! “I came not to judge…” One cannot help but wonder why so many
Christians have condemned, judged, tortured and committed all manner of
atrocities on those who were not followers of Jesus. “I came…to save the world.” By save, does he mean that if you believe in
him you are saved? Saved from what? He certainly does not condemn those who don’t
follow him so what does he mean by save?
Does he not mean that he came with a message of peace and love and if
you believe and adhere to this message, the world will be a better place? How can anyone reasonably make a quantum leap
and think that this means that Jesus died for your sins? How does any rational person come to the conclusion
that Jesus died on a cross for your salvation? In Luke we read, “76 And thou,
child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the
face of the Lord to prepare his ways; 77 To give knowledge of SALVATION
unto his people by the remission of their sins…” This is not a claim of Jesus and, it is said
that ‘knowledge’ of salvation is give.
Again, there is no reference to ‘salvation’ being achieved by someone
dying on a cross.
As I drive to work
there are many churches and many signs on those churches; billboards
proclaiming the latest sound bite for the day.
All are now filled with such phrases as; ‘Jesus died for you,” “Jesus
gave his life to save you,” “Jesus rose from the grave to free you of your
sins,” etc. Jesus taught that each of
you is responsible for your actions. He
taught that no one should make judgments.
He taught that you can be perfect, even as gods. He taught that there is a Christ within each
of you. Jesus never said that he died
for your sins. On the contrary, he
taught that you are responsible for your life and your reality. He never let you off the hook for your
actions. Those who think they can be a
horrible person all week, and then be absolved from their actions by going to
church and singing hymns are delusional. (See JESUS TAUGHT IT, TOO: THE EARLY
ROOTS OF THE LAW OF ATTRACTION).
All of these issues are
explored and revealed in the first two books of the WAKING GOD TRILOGY. Mantrella (a.k.a. Lucifer) says, “It is not
about saving humanity, it never has been.”
Read the books and explore the context of these words. Discover why any so called ‘salvation’ can
only come from within. Discover how
religious dogma has actually been a force of darkness and not Light. Go on-line and find a concordance of the
Bible. Do some research. Explore your religious beliefs with an open
mind.
