Midwest flooding predictions-2008

It’s not hard for anyone to see the writing on the wall with the Midwest flooding.  It’s here and it’s real.  The bad news is that it’s about to go from bad to worse. 

There will be some stabilizing during the summer of 2008.  It’s not going to get much worse quickly.   It won’t be getting better either.  The water is going to continue at the levels we’ve been seeing during the 1st half of 2008. 

Beginning in November, 2008, the rains will start up again, but this time, it’s not going to stop.  The rains will continue on through to March/April 2009.  This is the “worse” I spoke of.  The flooding that is happening now is cresting and will not get worse during the 2008 summer and early fall, but when the winter comes, the deluge will to.

This is what I’m seeing as possible and highly probable.  I’ve always believed that the future can change because of prayer and meditation.  I know this to be true.  For those that will pray for the midwest, the midwest will be helped by those prayers.  Some of this can be changed.  It will always depend on how much prayer and meditation comes.

Visions

“At different times, I’ve had visions of destructive events.  What are these about?”  K.F.

Many people have visions of events of a potentially destructive or harmful nature.  It is important to know that these events are never set in stone.  There is no future that cannot be changed.  When we receive these visions, we are being called to act.  If we can physically act to help a potential event, then it is good to do so.  If we can’t physically do anything about the event, then we can pray or meditate for the healing of these events to whatever degree we can accomplish.  We can change the future – these visions- through pray and meditation for healing asking that the Light of God come more into these circumstances.  We are being called to do just this.

When God’s help is sought for any event, presently happening, or potentially set to happen, great healing and better results become possible.  As Christ said, “With God all things are possible.”  Through our prayers, our meditations, our efforts towards the highest and best in any way, the outcome of these visions can change.  This is because when we pray, when we meditate, and when we put forth effort to help, God’s power and healing becomes real in the world and can affect changes in ways we may not understand or recognize – but are real and effective nonetheless.  The level of effectiveness then is based on the level of our effort in our prayers and meditations that all then put forth.

When these visions happen, take time to pray, and to meditate, sending prayers, whatever light and healing energy one can to help with healing the situation and circumstances described in the vision.  But remember, knowing whether our efforts are successful or not, is not necessarily going to happen.  Even with these events and our efforts, we are called to have faith that bringing God into a situation will have a greater impact on the situation than if we did nothing at all.

“The more prayer and meditation, the more God.  The more God, the less war.”  [The Rainbow Cards by Jodie Senkyrik]

“Imagine your life if you put no effort of any kind into it. Imagine your life if you put as much effort as possible into it. 

Imagine your life if you put no effort towards prayer of any kind into it. Imagine your life if you put as much effort towards prayer as possible into it.”  [The Rainbow Cards]

“Which helps more – Praying or not praying?”  [The Rainbow Cards]

“Would you rather have someone praying for you, or would you rather have no one praying for you?” [The Rainbow Cards]

“God’s presence is strengthened in the lives of those prayed for.” [The Rainbow Cards]

2nd Edgar Cayce prediction occurs: Part 1

On the Edgar Cayce tab, I describe the first prediction that Edgar Cayce made that I saw psychically being manifested.  It was Edgar Cayce’s New York prediction, but with it’s manifestation being affected by prayers and meditations through the decades, thus raising the vibrations, and diminishing the level of destruction predicted.  The prediction went through a shift, also, from the destruction of New York City via an earthquake to being manifested in the form of the WTC attack and the destruction.

For this New York prediction, I psychically saw a vision showing me Edgar Cayce, his connecting to the destruction in New York, and a white rope of light that connected him, his doing his reading, and his seeing the result in New York.  This white rope of light then connected to the WTC attack and destruction.

I’ve now seen a second prediction of Edgar Cayce’s displayed and manifested.  Again, the form which Edgar Cayce described it taking has been transformed through prayer and meditation.    Edgar Cayce made a  prediction that the Earth’s poles would wobble and eventually a pole shift would happen that could literally turn the Earth on its side, trigger a switch in the poles, or some other form of great change regarding the poles.

This is such a difficult prediction to believe, because we don’t want it to be true for all the destruction it would bring to the entire planet.   Yet, this is what he said would happen beginning in 1958 and culminating in 1998.

In March, 2008, now, what I’ve seen psychically is that the wobbling of the poles that has been documented and has been happening since 1958, is that which Edgar Cayce saw psychically and predicted would happen.  What I’ve also seen is that the prayers and meditations have served to act as stabilizers to keep the Earth’s poles from causing a tipping of the planet.  In essence, it has held the planet in place, except for the recorded wobbles that have been taking place since 1958.

Again, within this vision, I saw Edgar Cayce “seeing” this Pole Shift information.  I saw him “read” the information and it was clearly attached to the Earth wobble’s that have been occurring since 1958.  The end results have changed, because we took the steps to raise the vibrations during the past decades since Edgar’s prediction, thus again diminishing the level of destruction set to manifest otherwise.  The wobbling effect was instead spread out past the 1998 deadline to also help in the alleviation of the destructive 1998 predicted full topple.

In my psychic reading of these Edgar Cayce predictions, the vibrations of Edgar Cayce and his doing his readings to read the information and bring forth the prediction, is clear.  Like pouring and then tasting salt in water, the identification of all this Edgar Cayce presence, “seeing” and then interweaving it in my vision is unmistakable to me to the point that I bring it forth here.  Again, the light connects all this together, but this time as an everpresent identifying marker confirming this, rather than a single strand of rope of light.

There has been a clear connection and presence of Edgar Cayce’s actions connected to the pole shift, within the confines of my reading.  Therefore, I am bringing forth the information of my seeing the Earth wobble that has been occuring and identifying it as the Earth pole shifting that Edgar Cayce predicted.  From all that I see, again, and my interpreting of what I see, I consider it reliable and accurate.

Developing Psychic Ability -1

“I have just been on your site and read about how you later in life became aware of your psychic abilities. ”

“I did not have, as a child growing up, any psychic ability, but I am trying to develop this at the moment in my adult life. I would love to be able to develop it to a point where it will be of benefit to other people, and also make me aware of what life really is, and of course to help myself, and enjoy what the Lord has truely given us.” B.R.

Developing psychically is really a path of going inward, asking oneself questions and then learning how to be honest with ourselves. We have all answers and information within us, but rarely the determination, patience, willingness and acceptance that it takes to learn how to discern the information. Sometimes, we even don’t want to know.

We may see psychic ability as a worthwhile thing to pursue, but there is a price to pay, and that price is that we have to give up prejudice, judgement and condemning of others and ourselves, guilt, blaming, resentment, selfishness and the multitude of other stumbling blocks that are inside of us. This takes years and lifetimes to do, requiring patience and perserverence.

The good thing about this journey is that we need only begin it – we don’t have to end it, before we recognize the awakening of the awareness of that which is beyond the physical awareness.

The challenge then is to “learn the psychic alphabet”, (a metaphor for learning how to “read”) then to practice on ourselves – through the journey of “knowing thyself”.

There is a wonderful book series that came through the psychic, Edgar Cayce, when asked “How can I develop psychic ability?” The book series is called “A Search For God.” It helps a person learn what psychic ability really is, and what the path is that helps to develop spiritually first, and develop psychic ability safely. His own story is documented in the books, “The Sleeping Prophet”, “A Seer out of Season”, “There Is A River”, and “Edgar Cayce: An American Prophet”

There are no shortcuts and God is the guide for developing our psychic ability, because developing our psychic ability is really a development of the awareness of the soul/spirit aspect of ourselves and the soul/spirit realm.

In many ways, we humans have already been aquainted with aspects of psychic ability that we refer to as “hunches”, “women’s intuition”, “precognitive dreaming”, “gut feelings”, and the like. These are the psychic abilities that we think of already as normal for humans, but these can be developed more through learning how to discern that which we already have been sensing all along, but which we have ignored or not recogized.

Finally, the one thing that developing psychic ability doesn’t give us is Love. People don’t love us strictly because we are psychic. We don’t love others because they are, or aren’t. Psychic ability isn’t what brings forth Love into the world. Loving is what brings forth love into the world. Psychic ability comes with it’s own set of challenges and pitfalls. It is not a power, but an ability – an ability which can be used to help God be first, or help our own selfishness be first. These are issues that you must address also, because no person escapes themselves, and no person escapes their own character. When developing psychic ability, our biggest boulder in the path of this development is our self. This is why developing psychic ability is a serious undertaking, and a choice no one but the person themselves can decide. Like many other things that are challenging and sometimes require hard work – when pursued appropriately, it can be one of the most enriching abilities that humanity has available to be developed.

Monogomy, Marriage and Sex

“In Genesis we have God declaring that what God has joined together, no man should tear asunder. This is the reference to marriage being for an entire lifetime on earth. It is also a support for monogamous sex. You had mentioned about other cultures (in history) having a much more casual view of sex. I inferred that you may think the idea of monogamy and one life partner is a symptom of our faulty judgment. Does this concept in Genesis line up with your vision of the role and use of sex? ”

[This is an extremely long response.]

I.  Marriage as a Spiritual Practice
What you state is a reference in Genesis to marriage being for an entire lifetime. It is also a support for monogamous sex. In addition, it can continue to be this for as many people as need to have this support to continue with the personal/spiritual work which they do together in this particular life in which this is important for them.   It is important for many of the billions of people on the planet, because it is this many that are working on growing and learning spiritually, psychologically, emotionally and socially.

I won’t get into any comments about whether these references to Genesis are literal or figurative, conservative, moral, ethical, outdated, traditional, any other label, or anything like that, because none of that is the real issue that must be addressed when confronted with this question. The paradox is: To some these words are truth about life, to others they are not. In some situations, they are real, in other situations, they are not.  No one individual can determine how or what another individual is meant to grow, learn, and evolve into in their human lifetime.  This is only set by God and the individual’s higher Self – and happening at levels far beyond our own everyday human consciousness.  So, each soul must determine their own integration and address towards this issue.

A.  Fortitude and Support for the Spiritual Path
Absolutely, holding to these beliefs can be and still is purposeful. They give people the fortitude to maintain effort when working through the relationship issues becomes very difficult. Many times it takes a commitment to God to persevere through to the healing of these issues which people have and which brings us together to be worked out in the first place. (Holding onto God=Holding onto Love, and Love is necessary.)

Relationships of all kinds are the gardens where we grow Love, and the furnaces which we “burn off” the mistakes in consciousness which we have within our consciousnesses.  And as I’ve said before, Love (Love=the presence of God in the relationship) is the only bond that is strong enough to help us stay together to keep on working on the issues that we need to work on in the relationship. Sometimes, though, we shunt it away when the issues are so pronounced.

When we make a relationship commitment, we are making a commitment to work through the problems we have in our relationships, and to have love grow within the relationships. Together, we create a special relationship, which can become a helpful relationship for the spiritual path/evolution.  In fact, the experience of transformation occurs when we willingly change to heal issues related to relationships.  We transform spiritually when we change our own consciousness to help to heal the relationship.  (Side note: We can heal or we can pretend to heal.  All we need is honesty to determine which.)

B.  Oneness with God and All
The statement quoted in Genesis can also mean more than just marriages.  According to the Edgar Cayce readings, marriages themselves were a creation of mankind. Mankind then sanctified and spiritualized marriage through sacred channels and methods – bringing God into it.  But, these words can also mean for all relationships. “What God has joined together” can also point towards our spiritual nature and be all of mankind – the relationships we have to every person – the commitment we have to help all of humankind through this journey out of the earthly plane back to our real home – the spiritual realm. What God has joined together – the oneness of mankind, as well as the Christ Spirit within our own consciousnesses – no one can take apart. In other words, the oneness of all life and our Oneness with God, cannot be undone by anyone. The marriage then becomes a microcosm of a macrocosmic truth.

For many, it serves a real purpose to strengthen the purpose of the healing of relationships, and the potential for growth that we have available within any relationship. For many, it becomes their commitment to their own spiritual path – marriage as a spiritual practice. And why not? Because it offers a whole school of learning unto itself – sometimes enough for us to experience marriage for many lifetimes.

C.  Fork in the Road
But, the statement, and marriage, both, are not that for everyone. And cannot be made to be that for everyone. For many who have their spiritual practice within themselves – or through a different way, marriage is not going to be the same. For these, marriage is an opportunity to work out problems, to grow within ourselves and to learn beyond our own understanding, but these can also find that when the relationship no longer offers any learning – and this does happen – then, like a school that one is graduated from, both person’s are best to go their own ways.

I’ve seen many marriages end because the learning and growth are finished and no longer available with those other partners. Not all of them but enough to take notice.  Each person has paths which offer them more, but are not together with each other anymore.

Yes, I’ve also seen many divorces happen because people want to avoid having to work on their issues. Unfortunately for them while on Earth, fortunately for their soul, they take their issues with them into the next marriage and the next, and next until they finally decide to work on themselves. Even these will eventually return to the path of their own healing and transformation.  All it takes is honesty to determine which fork in the road we are choosing.

D.  Not a Prison Sentence or a Feat of Endurance
The statement presented during the marriage ceremony, “What God has joined together….” is not meant to be a prison sentence or a condemning sentence put on by God. If the statement becomes that, then the issues present are not being worked on and need to be examined for consideration.

Neither is the marriage to be an endurance feat to see who can outlast the other, or who has the most stamina to stay in a marriage that is no longer based on love.  Who among us wants to be in a lifetime marriage to someone we discover that we really don’t love?  Who among us wants to spend their lifetime in a marriage to someone who we discover really doesn’t love us – a lifetime in a relationship with no love?  We profess to marry for love, but love isn’t always there.  Who does this serve to stay in this marriage?  Yet, it happens often.

Make no mistake about what I’m saying. Every state of being that we create for ourselves, God can make into a situation sufficient for us to learn and grow spiritually. If we choose marriage and the lifelong commitment, till death do us part, then this will create for us the circumstances within which we can learn (or unlearn) and grow spiritually. But, many of us do not choose this particular setting to learn and grow spiritually. Some choose to have this as part of their learning, but move on to other ways of learning, too. These other ways are just as valid and the “moving on” is also valid.  In today’s world, divorce is an option.  Souls are coming in knowing this and equally okay with taking this option.

Marriage is still a man-made social structure spiritualized through mankind’s desire to bring God into the marriage experience – but not the only structure with this potential. It is easy to see how we have latched onto it through the eons and why – because it is a promising and worthwhile social structure, capable of providing an environment for growth of love and learning about ourselves and others.

Yet, it is an Earth- based, human race-based social structure. Made sacred through our own hearts, and intentions to make it sacred. We, humans, made it sacred through our inviting God into it, as well as our willing participation in it when holding the intention of the marriage going the distance. It was the act of inviting God into it, that brought God into it, and that made it into a place where we could grow and learn. Through the ages, as marriage became more and more based on love, and not political alignments, bloodline or money, or simple procreative continuation of the group or tribe, God became more and more a part of marriage.

In the end, marriage is obviously not the only relationship where we can demonstrate love for someone else. It is a popular one, though. But as I’ve mentioned in my workshop, Love is greater than every social construct, including marriage, and no single social structure or confine here on earth can hold all of the consciousness of Love – God.  No creation of mankind, can hold all of God.  That is why many who choose the paradigm that you state, can and do choose something else their next life – so as to learn those things that they were not able to learn by being married to only one person a previous life. This is also why some who can and do learn at a faster pace, will go ahead and choose to end a marriage and move on when their learning is over.  Yet, I do want to acknowledge that more divorces are because people are not working on themselves rather than are working on themselves.

E.  The Paradox of Marriage
How do we then balance the idea about “What God joins together, etc….”? In some cases, we also have to address the shortcomings of where this comes from. It is not a catch-all and be-all truth in the same way that “I am with you always.” is. Because humankind created marriage, this statement is a human created intention and cannot be imposed upon others from the outside group or force (because it is not originating from within the person’s own heart). The paradox being: it being true in the minds and hearts of those that believe it and hold to it, (those to whom it serves them to hold on to it) and it not necessarily being true in the minds and hearts of those that don’t hold to this belief in their heart nor their mind – (but rather something else holds true in their heart and minds.) Would you say this of those in native American marriages? or in China? Would you say this in marriages before the Christian church or Hebrew religion ever came into being – where religion is or was not part of the equation, but rather marriage to fulfill the politics of the time or when blood lineage mattered more, as well as having marriage from the desire to build wealth or a family to help tend crops?

The issue will never be whether the statement is truth – it is, but the paradox is that on a deeper level, it doesn’t always mean “marriage” for all people. It can and does mean other things. Sometimes it means “Spiritual Growth”, in the saying, “What God joins together [for our spiritual growth], let no one put asunder.”

In the end, our spiritual growth and learning is the most important thing of all – the learning of our relationship to God, to each other and to ourselves and in growing to this, then, helping each other find our way out of the earthly confines. Some find this through marriage and the support of that phrase you gave from Genesis. Others find this through marriage for a shorter while, but move on when time comes to move on, and others find this phrase to mean things way beyond the state of marriage. If we hold marriage to be a spiritual path, then it is good for us to hold to it, but we must address those interrelationship issues that come up for us as a result, since it’s also possible to stay married, not learn anything, and still not work on the issues that are the problems.  This also is done by many.

It is true that some people learn faster than others.  It is also true that generations before now, learning was at a slower pace, and marriages lasted longer because the healing, and learning and growing was slower. Finally, it’s also true that sometimes we marry people for reasons other than our inner growth.

In Part 2: Monogamy and Soul Development
II.  Monogamy and Soul Development
Monogamy and having one life partner are not a symptom of any faulty judgement. They are absolutely appropriate for those whose path of spiritual growth benefits from holding to this. My view is that we can create any social construct in any society and have it be a place where God can help us to grow and learn during any one particular life. (I will also add that it’s easy to lie to ourselves on our basic human conscious level about what would benefit our spiritual path and what wouldn’t.  I will also add that eventually we have to face the truth of our lying.)

But, it means that individually we have to choose, every day whether we’re going to hold to that belief, and with that, then go on to pursue working on the issues that this choice brings with it. In cases of discord, are we going to draw upon that belief and pursue working out those issues that seem to be causing problems? For those who hold this belief, this can be the support that they need to keep going. But for others, it’s not necessarily going to be the same question to address. It may not be the question of commitment vs. not commitment. It can be an entirely different question and issue appropriate for their own particular life and soul development. Souls are coming in with the awareness that marriage need not be a lifelong commitment. This can mean many things to people – one is that we can move on when needed, and another is that we can run away if we want to run away – (not generally the healthy choice, though).

When choosing a lifelong commitment in marriage in one life, our soul consciousness then must move on during other lives to other constructs or life situations to learn of other things. For example, how easy is it to spend one’s entire adult life in contemplative meditation, going deeper and deeper within, learning the wisdom of the sages, when you have 8 kids to feed and a crop to plant and harvest, and cattle that needs tending outside.

One life circumstance takes the time and resources which the other life circumstance would need in order to be fulfilled. One can join the two circumstances together and have a little of both, but not at the depth of experience that one alone would give. An example would be someone learning a great deal by not being in a marriage relationship but at the same time not having had the experience of having a spouse and children – a potentially transforming experience which brings it’s own set of things to learn, from which to grow and be enriched.   We each have experiences which other lives have never had.

A.  Multiple marriages as a Spiritual Path
It’s always going to come back to the individual soul’s journey through their own growth of consciousness – even to the point that we may hold to the lifelong commitment in marriage one life and then choose many marriage partners another life —–because each different circumstance is what we need in order to gain that which that life has to offer. Each offering a wholly different set of options and opportunities to learn and grow. SEE? Even multiple marriages in one life can offer unique experiences with which to grow, which a single marriage in one life cannot offer.

Isn’t it wonderful how we can experience all that life has to offer (one marriage one life, many marriages in another life, and no marriages in still another life), gain all that’s available, and experience all the different circumstances which offer learning and growth? (Just maybe not all in any one particular life.) The commitment that comes from “What God joins together….etc” offers different learning than when we choose to end a marriage and move on to the next relationship.

When “lifelong commitment” is something we want to experience, we can hold onto this phrase to help us. We need God’s help to do this. When “lifelong commitment” is not something we need to seek to experience, the paradox is that we can choose another path and another truth about God to help us down an even different path of learning. An example of this idea? When early Christians were facing the lions, many souls came into the life with the intention to seek and hold to a cause that they would die for. They found one. Other Christians weren’t facing the lions and they faced other issues which challenged them.

Just be warned, it’s not always us that makes the choice of whether to continue or end a relationship – the other person has choices to make, too. The other soul has a journey that they’re on, too. And sometimes they can make a choice that goes against the choice that we make. This can be quite a harrowing surprise sometimes.
*****************

III.  Sex and Spirituality
I agree, sex is a gift. And it is a gift that we can share with each other, or give to ourselves.

Did you know that if in a married relationship, the couple’s feelings are weak for each other, and they have sex that produces a child, the child will have a spiritual energy level equal to the couple’s weak energy and feelings between them, but if a person has an affair with someone whom they feel love and passion about, where greater love is present, and they have a child, even though they are unmarried and having an affair, the child will be stronger spiritually, because of the love and energy between the two biological parents is stronger?

Like attracts like – there is no getting around this Law of the Universe. A weak bond of love attracts a soul like it. A strong bond of love attracts a soul like it. A bond of love is the strongest of bonds and attracts the strongest presence of God. If the bond of Love is also joined by the bond of marriage, then that is a great place to be. But, if the bond of marriage is not joined with the bond of love, then other issues will arise.

In our world today, divorce is one answer for that. Believe me, people still do get married for reasons other than love – lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of times. They can grow yet more love in the marriage or they can choose to not grow more love in the marriage.

A.  Sex and the Internal Conflict
I’ve taken the position that sex is an act best performed within a love relationship. The creative energies then can go towards helping the relationship to grow even more. I recommend this because sex and relationships are so intertwined that an emotional package comes along with sex.  Even in connections that happen based solely on the pursuit of sex – no participant can enter into this and leave their emotions, feelings, thoughts – both conscious and subconscious, heart and mind behind.

In society, we place so much emphasis on the role of sex that it impacts us when circumstances go contrary to how we hold sex within ourselves.
In this case, our sex paradigm in our society here in the US is relevant because in general, it impacts our emotional and psychological growth and our spiritual beliefs for us as United States citizens. Other cultures being either more casual or more strict about sex is just that – their emotional, psychological and spiritual paradigms allowed for more casual or strict state of mind toward sex.

B.  Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual
Sex by itself is not an answer to what we seek in our lives, even though some may pursue it as such. Sex is driven by physical elements (hormones), as is libido. Sex is also driven by psychological elements and emotional elements – both positively and negatively. (Examples are infinite and seen all the time, i.e. desire for children, desire to express love, sharing an emotional connection, as well as fantasies about love, sex and marriage, advertising, movies, addictions, using sex as a weapon, etc. – some positive and some negative.)

Sex is also driven by spiritual elements. While the physical act/element is associated with the first chakra, the emotional/psychological element/act is associated with the 2nd chakra. Sex is not just a 1st chakra act. Fear, understanding of human experiences, and adrenaline also contribute to the sexual experience and are 3rd chakra aspects to sex.

How is sex spiritually driven? When a relationship holds the factors which are helping the people grow spiritually within the relationship – especially Love (Love=the presence of God in a relationship).  And when it is the intention of the two people, to share a loving/giving act between them, without guile, dishonesty, or any other negative factors.  I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s driven, but rather it includes that aspect – a 4th chakra factor – the heart chakra. In addition, we can also use the 5th, 6th, and 7th, chakras within the sexual experience.

I would say that sex is something that needs to be learned, because it involves the potential for including so many levels of the psyche and body of the individuals participating. In the same way that we don’t automatically know how to meditate, we also don’t automatically know many, many things – including about sex.

C. Sex reflecting the marriage
I haven’t mentioned marriage with regards to sex, because I want to make room for relationships based on love, not based on marriage. For some, marriage is the container for sex, for others, love is the container for sex. For still others, opportunity is the container for sex, but this last example is usually because they are being driven by bodily, libidinal, emotional, social or psychological factors.  (Of course this can also be said about marriage or can be thought to be and therefore claimed to be “love”.)

If the marriage is truly based on love, then love is part of the sexual experience. If the marriage is based on spirituality, then spirituality is part of the sexual experience. If marriage is based on psychological or emotional issues, or on avoidance of other issues, then sex will have these as part of their sexual experiences etc. etc. etc.

If marriage is based on money, based on sex, based on social factors, based on anything else, then the sex between the two will hold that “based-upon” factor also. This can be a real influencing factor, because it only means the love bond wasn’t that strong to begin with and this will have to be addressed eventually within the relationship. This principle can end relationships or it can bring people to find a way for the love to grow.

D. Sex and Life’s Choices
Finally, sex can also pull us into those circumstances which require us to work on our issues. For example, some have sex as a drive from their hormones (both male and female), then the female gets pregnant.  The couple get married because of the pregnancy, then find themselves in a situation where they have to work on themselves to have a good marriage, or else not work on themselves and divorce.

Because the person didn’t go deeper within themselves at the beginning, the paradigm they were in, pulled them into a situation where they almost had no choice but to go deeper within themselves – to address whether their marriage will work or end.

Even though it’s common, divorce is rarely entered into at a superficial level in the way sex is. People do enter within themselves, in order to address the factors that brings a person to this point – a forced situation bringing them to a place where they’re willing to go inward to figure out what to do with their life. If a child is involved, many times, the love or obligations to the child will be the opening for them to go deeper into themselves to find a way to deal with their situation.

So, in that case, they took an easy road – to have sex without thinking – but it put them in a tough situation. This then can lead to other doors (problems in the marriage, a child’s presence, or the issue of divorce, etc.) for them to start doing their thinking about their consequences and actions – “introspection” is what we call it.

IV.  Conclusion
There’s a statement that goes, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” It’s true almost 100% of the time. (There is the rare life that occurs for the purpose of having a “vacation”, but that’s another blog.) When we live our life without ever asking questions or examining ourselves so that we can bring forth more of the Spirit of God and the fruits of such, it’s been a waste of time.

Marriage, sex, and every relationship are like this, too. The unexamined marriage, the unexamined relationship, and even the unexamined “circumstance” is not worth having, because we’ve not gained the food for our greater understanding. We’ve avoided that which we were meant to address – not just within the relationship between the two people, but within ourselves, alone. We’ve not gained/learned or grown in the way that opportunity was offering us. You’ll see this with co-dependent relationships a lot, or co-dependent moments within relationships – not addressing their issues until it is so prevalent that it cannot be ignored. We then have to do the whole thing over in order to eventually start addressing the issues related to our circumstance/relationship that we’re in.

The greater purpose of any relationship is not to have a relationship. Having a relationship is not the end goal of what we are striving for. It’s the beginning. Like the greater purpose of marriage is not just to have a spouse. The purpose of every relationship including marriage is for our spiritual growth – to grow in loving, to examine our self, to face and heal OUR OWN personal issues, to address our shortcomings, our fears, our misconceptions, and misunderstandings, to help heal relationships, to face our own emotional and psychological problems, to practice the fruits of the spirit – patience, forgiveness, mercy, kindness, love, and more.

Every state we find ourselves in has this purpose, because the truth is that we need each other – in the big sense of the word. WE NEED ONE ANOTHER.  We are all part and parcel of God.  We are designed to need one another, because we are designed to need all of God.

Marriage is one container for this, and when that is not the path, creating other loving relationships can then serve as containers, too. Even bachelorhood (or bachelorette-hood) is a container for this, because each situation and circumstance we find ourselves in, God can make into a learning circumstance – God can make into a classroom for us to learn – and no state we’re in is void of relationships in some way.  Sex, then, is just one more classroom in which God can help us learn and grow.

V.  Marriage, Love and Ego
Now at the end of this, I’ll add one more thing to the subject of marriage and lifelong commitments.

We can also stay together, joined for this life, in order to satisfy our own ego, holding an unconscious attitude of “Look what I can do.” or “Look what I accomplished”. This brings forth the question, are we making this commitment for “our own glory” – to prove that we can do it? To put it in religious terms, ideally, even marriage and the commitment we are making in marriage, is “for God’s Glory” or put another way, for the purpose of Love.

In looking at this question, we then must address whether we remain in the relationship to develop love, or do we remain in the relationship in order to endure a challenge and to abide by the statement “What God has brought together, let no one put asunder”? The issue becomes not whether we should stay in the marriage for the whole lifetime, but whether we are developing love within this relationship, for the whole lifetime.  (Besides, who wants to be married to someone who is married for the purpose of helping their own ego.  This isn’t a love-based marriage.)

The statement from the Bible, “What does it benefit a person to gain [anything], if we lose our soul in the process?” must be brought into the discussion. This addresses any action we undertake if we undertake it for egoistic purposes. Marriage can be this, too, if we’ve entered into it or are in it for our own selfish purposes.

What does it benefit a person to stay in a marriage or any relationship, if we lose our soul in the process? Contrary to the thought, just because a marriage isn’t happy or is going through difficulties does not in any way mean that we are losing our own soul by staying in it. Some could use this as an excuse to not work on themselves or not work on their relationship.  So, it is also worth asking, “what does it benefit a person to leave a relationship, if we lose our soul in the process?”

The issue will always come down to one factor only – love. Did we enter into it because of our love, are we still in it because of our love, do we seek to stay in it because we love the other person? If the answer was ‘yes’ at any time, then it can be again, with the working on oneself leading to the development of love in a relationship that began from love.  And if the marriage ends, can we say that this also is being done from a place to give honor to love?  (Yes, it’s true, whether believed or not, that we can end a marriage because of love.)

The final question, then, is a question we can ask ourselves every day with regards to our relationships, “When it comes time for the other person to leave this earth, – will they, from our relating to them, know that they were loved?”

Psychic ability in 250

In about 250-300 years, psychic ability will become common place on the planet. There will be different pockets of where it is more prevalent, and some pockets where it’s not so prevalent, but on the whole, the human race will actively accept it as a reality. It will be commonly utilized in many venues of life.  Currently, it is few people, and with those being questioned as to it’s authenticy.  It will become as a normally accepted aspect of human life.

It’s place in our world will still be conflictual up until then. The support for acknowledgement of psychic ability will still be a struggle until then, but slowly get more widespread acceptance and development.

Until the 250 year time, it will not be prevalent throughout the human race. While it’s acceptance of it’s reality will grow quicker in society, and it’s understanding will grow as well, it’s development throughout the human race will take this much longer time period.

Jesus, prayer, 2006

Added 12/12/2006 (revised 7/6/07): The weather (hurricane) predictions of 2006 in the Gulf of Mexico did not occur as I predicted. I looked back into this, and psychically looked for that which led to the contrast between my prediction and that which occurred. As I asked and looked psychically, a vision came. I saw the Spirit of Christ covering the entire southeast US including much of the Gulf of Mexico. The Spirit of Christ’s presence absorbed/dissolved the destructive energy that was coming and would have manifested through hurricanes in the Gulf. The presence of the Christ Spirit came as a direct result of so many prayers for the Gulf Coast following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, coming much from the churches and people of Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi, and from the prayers from the other surrounding states and the entire U.S. The prayers that were offered up for this Gulf region after hurricane Katrina and Rita were so great in their numbers and so united in people’s efforts, in order to help this region to not have this again, that the presence of the Christ Spirit grew so great as to change the weather patterns that I had seen potentially happening. I saw prayers coming from churches along the Gulf Coast states, as well as people from all across the nation.I also saw during this time and subsequent readings, that the presence and energy of the Christ Spirit is so great that these prayers and this presence will also protect the Gulf on up to the middle of the 2007 season, and will greatly reduce the number of hurricanes which I saw entering into this Gulf Coast region in 2007 and some in 2008. I believe the Christ Spirit responded, and in turn, responds to the problems, as human beings respond to the problems – through our prayers and meditations. As we pray, so then answers Christ. If we don’t do our work and pray (call on God), neither then does the Spirit of Christ respond to the great degree that we would otherwise see.

Many wonder if our prayers are answered. I’ve seen it first hand that the answer is “Yes”, according to the sincerity, strength, in our hearts through our prayers.

One news report I watched on television near the end of Nov. 2006, stated that the 2006 season was uncharacteristically quiet – that more storms and hurricanes had been predicted for 2006 by meteorologists and the National Hurricane Center. (and by me, too, but the news report didn’t mention me. Nor did they mention the protective healing power of Jesus Christ coming from the prayers of so many.)

Spiritual leader’s death

In 2225-2230, a great spiritual leader will die for the lives of many. He will take upon himself the karma of many, and allow a great amount of karmic destructive energy to be manifested and spent through him – through his being killed. In the years that he will be in this earth, many will learn and grow from what he offers. (Added 10/11/05)

Vibration/energy rate increase

The Earth’s vibrational increase affects all life on this planet in different ways.  Animals and birds will also adapt to this vibrational change.  Their DNA will also adapt.  Different species will begin demonstrating different character traits, abilities and behaviors heretofore unseen in these species.  Insects will struggle to adapt.  Their adaptation will be in the area of “fortitude” – being tougher to overcome.  The increase in viruses in the planet is also an effect of the vibrational level.  The energy vibration increase will affect viruses activating their ability to mutate at an increased rate.  (Added 11/24/05)

2012- physical meaning

The 2012 mark is the physical manifestation of the beginning of a new cycle of 52,000 years. This cycle is really two 26,000 cycles. The beginning of our current 52,000 year cycle saw Atlantis as a world dominating militaristic government, so self-aggrandizing and self-centered that it was brought down through it’s own self-destruction to the point that little is even left to prove it existed.  (This nation raised itself above other nations from it’s own self-glorification,  but is now brought down so low that it’s not even considered to have ever existed.)

The 2012 mark is also the beginning of the change-over, the beginning of a wave of consciousness coming through the earth, but taking many, many decades to fully wash through humanity and it’s generations – the generations being those in physical bodies now, and those not in physical bodies now.

2012 marks the time in astronomy whereby the Solar System passes across the galactic center.  The electromagnetic pull upon our own Earth has been occurring for several decades as witnessed by some of the weather changes (and enhanced by global warming),  and will culminate with electromagnetic problems which will periodically occur in 2012, affecting our own planetary electronic systems as well as any other natural or manmade aspect in our world which relies on magnetic fields for functioning or survival.

The Next Shift

In General, the next millennium shift will occur in 2100-2200 years from now. At the most 2300 years. Our own shift isn’t an instant experience happening in the year 2000 or in 2012, but rather over a range of years beginning in 1940’s, peaking in 2130-40 and going until about 2165. This is because it’s not just a physical shift – it’s an energy shift – and a consciousness shift (which, in fact, is energy.)

But, right now is an amazing time. It is phenomenal that we’re here able to witness this. We’re seeing the increase in consciousness into this planet and it will continue to increase in this phase for 160 or so more years.
