Guilt and Shame, Shame and Guilt

We can struggle with guilt and shame – shame and guilt, and struggle with these, and struggle with these, but until we understand how and why the chains of guilt and shame work, we will not be rid of them.

Yet, the resolution of these is so simple – so simple that we don’t always take the solution seriously.  After all, something this complex, something this ingrained must be difficult to resolve.  Right?

No.

Guilt and Shame are chains to be sure.  But these are chains that are of our own making.  And the simple truth is, these chains that we have forged to make others wear – guilt and shame, are the very same chains to which we are bound and have bound ourselves.

The chain of guilt is one chain for all, and the chain of shame is one chain for all.  The chain we bind others with and bind ourselves with is the same chain.  For us to bind others, for us to blame others, lay guilt upon others, lay shame upon others, we must hold onto that chain with our own mind and heart – our own two hands hold tight to the chains of both, when we wrap others in the chains of guilt and shame.

When we place guilt and shame on someone else, we are placing it upon ourselves.  With our own attitudes – our own judgements, criticisms and condemning within our own minds and hearts, we are condemning ourselves to be wrapped by the very same chain that we have wrapped someone else in.

As we do unto others, so are we doing to ourselves.  This is the simple truth, so I’ll be redundant and repeat it again another time once more –

As we do unto others, we do to ourselves.

Only when we take steps to release the chain-hold we have placed on others do we also release the very chain that we are holding onto.  Only when we forgive all, do we forgive our self, too, and vice versa.  Only when we no longer place guilt and shame on others, do we no longer place guilt and shame upon ourselves.

As Joseph told his brothers, “Can [we] take God’s place in being judge over others?”  In the most horrendous of deed’s to each other, we may still think that we, in our minds and hearts, must blame and place guilt and shame on others.  If any of us decides to hold to that chain of guilt and shame which we’ve wrapped around others, then as long as we hold to the belief that we must continue to place guilt and shame on someone else – know that we’re the one’s holding onto the same chain and it has bound us as well.  And we can choose to hold onto those chains if that is what we want for ourselves and others.  However, in doing so, are we saying that God can’t do the job correctly?

Letting go of the chain of guilt and the chain of shame has the result of acknowledging that we cannot take God’s place in being judge over someone.  Releasing the chain of guilt and the chain of shame that we have wrapped others in means we’re no longer holding onto the chain at all.  And when we release others from the chains of guilt and shame- no longer placing guilt or shame on someone, we have the result of releasing ourselves, also.

As we do unto one, we’re doing unto everyone.  The experience we create for others will always be the experience we are creating for ourselves as well.

The Spring of 2050: UFO’s and Edgar Cayce

While so many of us already are aware that we have visitors from other places in space, others are not – for countless reasons.  Why, then, would there be no public announcement or public presentation?  The answer is – there will be – in the spring of 2050.  Precisely, I’m seeing it in April and May of 2050, then stretching out in other ways through the summer.

From my research, Edgar Cayce didn’t say much specific about UFO’s, Extraterrestrials and the like happening in the future, except to say that there was regular contact and relationships with them during the Atlantean days and there would be again.  During the Atlantean days, there existed a very high level of technology – some of which has been discovered but not recognized and not identified correctly.  This level of technology plays a role in contact and normal relations with Extraterrestrials.

There are good reasons why there has not been a public presentation with developing regular and normal open  relations.  It is because we are not at their level of the technology, yet.  Especially with regards to energy.  Literally, there would be wars over their technology.  If full openness were to happen now, it would create extreme tensions in the world over who gets their technology.

The best way to avoid this conflict is to not be fully open with the existence of UFO’s.  Otherwise, the conflicts would be serious and even destructive indeed.  The few sightings and rumors help to put this topic into peoples’ minds and that is a necessary first step that must happen over time.

The Descent of Technology

When humans descended into lower technological times after Atlantean times, those from other locations in space who witnessed the process, also recognized the need to withdraw from regular public human interaction.  Through the thousands of years since Atlantis, there has been contact but only the most limited and only on the outskirts of experiences.

With the return and growing of the technological levels we have now, there has been more contact, entering back into the subconsciousnesses and consciousnesses of the human race, waiting until mankind once again is able to meet them without being overwhelmed and without causing chaos in our planet.

The New Energy Source

With the development of the new energy source that I’ve mentioned before, mankind will have the energy technology that will avoid the need to war over their technology.  Our technology will be sufficient to provide for our planet.

So, beginning in 2045, non-public discussions and processes will begin for development of the procedures and preparations, of the following 4 years leading up to the public pronouncements  and the official “Welcoming” events – all around the world (and over many months time.)  As I said above, April & May, 2050, then stretching out through the summer around the planet, then winding down in the fall of 2050.

It will be both an exciting time and anxious time.  There will be many who are welcoming and many that are afraid.  There will be many areas of cooperation and many areas of conflict to be worked out.  They will present themselves to the whole world – to all the more than 8.7 billion people on the planet at that time.

And they will be a part of our consciousnesses and paradigms from then on.

Space Travel

One result of this new relationship is that tens of thousands will want to go into space to visit the other “few” planets that these visitors will represent.  While I currently count about 16 – 19 different species that are “touching” Earth in some form or fashion, only about 3 will open up their societies to be visited in cooperative ways.  Eventually millions of humans will travel to other non-Earth places.

Not all 16-19 are above board and open.  That is why the message deciphered in 2008 mentioned that humans need to be aware that not all species  in space are truthful.  Some hide behind fake smiles.  Sound familiar?  They have traits just like humans – who would have thought it.  Always remember actions and behaviors represent what is within someone – whether human or not.

This year, 2012 is only 33 years away from the beginning of the process which I would equate to preparing for the Olympics in a new city – years of preparation.  And only 38 years until 2050.  If we compare that time range to waiting for the year 2000, it would be like if it were 1962.  How many of you remember the time from 1962 to 2000?  It seems like a long time to a few, but not to the rest of us.  And we’ve been through a lot during those times.

I hope you can be around, but be aware that what we will be going through before 2045 and 2050 will test us in so many ways.

Willingness is Everything

Everything is willingness.  Everything.  Everything.  Everything.  Willingness is behind every action, every feeling and every thought.  If not with one part of our self, then with another part of our self and thus behind every inner question and conflict.

None of us accomplishes anything or does anything, unless we’re willing.  No one heals, unless we’re willing.  No one helps another or harms another unless we’re willing.  No one does or is anything unless we’re willing.

We don’t become president, unless we’re willing.  We don’t stay healthy unless we’re willing.  We don’t enrich ourselves unless we’re willing.  We don’t become addicted unless we’re willing.  We don’t enter into the valley of the shadow of death, unless we’re willing.   We don’t make our lives better or make our lives worse unless we’re willing.

A Small View

A.  Unfortunately, if someone looks at life only from the surface and being a human being, this makes no sense and is extremely debateable.  For example, why would anyone ever be willing to be attacked, be willing to die from cancer, be willing to be enslaved, be willing to be abused or maligned, or become a drug addict?  Why would anyone ever be willing to be the victim of a hate crime or be rounded up and killed by Nazi’s.  Why would anyone ever be willing to be nailed to a cross?

If we look at life only from the perspective of the surface of living this physical life, this makes no sense.  Yet, whether full understanding exists or not, everything is willingness – just not all at the human level, sometimes the willingness is from the whole soul.

For Others and Our Self Equally

B.  At the soul level, we can also perceive that if we’re willing to do to another, then we are also saying we’re willing to experience it ourselves.  At the soul level, if we’re willing to “teach someone a lesson” in a certain way, then we’re willing to learn in that same way.    Or, if we’re willing to truly forgive, then we’re willing to allow forgiveness to be for ourselves, as well.  If we’re willing to truly understand, or show mercy or be patient, then we’re willing to experience understanding, mercy and patience, in all it’s manifestations for ourselves.

If we’re willing to create a certain experience for others, we’re willing to say this is a valid experience for ourselves as well, whether it be harm and suffering, or forgiveness and compassion.

The challenge is to be aware that we can choose to be willing and unwilling in the same experience at the same moment.  Willing for some reasons and unwilling for others.   The issue then becomes what are we willing to choose for our life and others?

PS.  We don’t love unless we’re willing to love.  We don’t forgive unless we’re willing to forgive.

Fear of Islam

A friend of mine showed me an article where the author was writing of his concerns and fears of Islam taking over the world.  Fear in any form is an easy bandwagon to get on board.

For many people in the world, Islam is perceived as a religion of violence.  We currently see on TV, the violence done by those who profess to be Islamic.  Of course, on the same TV shows, we also see violence done by people who profess other religious beliefs and by people who never mention religion at all.

The Source of Violence

If violence came from any particular religion, every single member of that religion would have to take up arms.  In the news, and in this article, that is what the author says – beware of every member of that religion.  It’s easy to think violence comes from a particular religion.  But, of course, it doesn’t.

Violence among people existed long before religions existed.  And religions came along and got the blame.

It is so easy to blame something external for the feelings, thoughts and agenda that lies within the hearts of humans.  Certainly the external educations that we all receive do influence us and can support or prevent actions.  But, the responsibility for one’s own heart lies only with our self.

One’s Own Heart and Mind

For eternity-all past, all present, and all future- we and we alone are responsible for our own heart.  Because no one can take God’s gift of freewill away and God certainly won’t.  Even many of the German people during the 1930’s and 1940’s were at some point willing to follow Hitler.  In many of their hearts was “willingness” – willingness to hate.  That’s not the only example available through out history.

With a willingness to hate inside any of our hearts, aren’t we more inclined to be violent towards another.  It doesn’t take any religion or philosophical, political, or psychological belief system.  It doesn’t take anything except a willingness to hate, and then we look for a spark to ignite us to explode to vent that hatred.

The arguments in the article about Islam reminded me of the arguments from the 1950’s & 60’s about Communism taking over the world.

The Force of God’s Goodwill

As I told my friend, there are vastly greater forces than the forces of violence and hatred working to bring balance and light to the world.  The same fears have been around towards different groups at different times in humankind’s existence.

In this case, a different world than the one we live in would have to exist for this fear to manifest and rule – a world where very few were willing to bring forth God’s Spirit of brotherhood and goodwill – a world where people didn’t care – a world where no one put forth effort through prayers and meditations to help humankind through this growing process.  That world doesn’t exist for us – for us in the world we live in.  Of those that are praying, meditating and working in every way to bring peace, goodwill, kindness, understanding, brotherhood, cooperation and more – of these – try and stop the millions that are doing the work of trying to bring for the Spirit of Love – the Spirit of God.  No one can stop millions who work in their hearts to bring forth the Spirit of God – through bringing loving kindness, forgiveness, cooperation, patience, mercy, and healing into the world.

Still, while it won’t physically happen here, fear of it will happen and still does happen within the hearts of individuals, and many times fear is enough of a spark to ignite hatred within each individual – a hatred only existing because fear of someone exists.

A Christian Nation?

There are many against the U.S. helping other nations that don’t support us or help us back.  But, the spirit of this country and hence the issue that affects this position has never been “what can other countries do for us?  Or who supports us?  Or what will other countries give us?”  Imagine if Christ came into this world saying, “What will you give me if I help you?  How will you support me if I heal you?  What will you do for me to make me number 1 if I preach to you?”  He only asked “How can I best serve all of you”, saying “He who would be first, must serve all the rest. John 9:35”

A nation with many professing it to be a Christian nation is not Christian based on what the people say it is.  A nation or a group or a church or a person is a particular religion based only on how they apply those beliefs in their life.   What if someone professed a religion but never applied any of the beliefs in their life?  Would they really be that religion?

The nations of the world do not develop by blindly following the big man on campus – the U.S.  They develop by learning to be true to themselves.  If we are going to be true to ourselves – true to what is in our own hearts and minds as Americans, and choose a path that is unpopular with other nations, and sometimes that may mean going to war, then we must acknowledge that that is what we are teaching to other nations – to be true to themselves- to what is in their own hearts and minds.  And sometimes this means disagreeing with the big man on campus and choosing a path that is unpopular with the BMOC.

For any that profess the U.S. to be a Christian nation, is it only for show and tell?  Or will we as individuals and groups apply, and therefore live the particular religious principles when within our Earth’s community of nations?  And looking at it from that point of view, don’t these principles also include acknowledging and accepting diversity and differences of opinion?

PS.  Can a nation as a whole demonstrate one “religion” based on its governmental policy and actions towards its citizens and others of the world, and have its citizens demonstrate a different religion based on each of their actions towards each other and others of the world?  Is our religion only based on the words we speak proclaiming it, or is our religion based on the actions we live out?

Japan, Earth Changes and Predictions for 2014: Weather

Let’s begin with Japan’s current state. The helpful aspects have been seen – the cultural support. International support.

The landmass. While it is true that this has been a significant shift for the landmass. This is also not unheard of when earthquakes happen. Some consider this an `end of the world” event, but it is not. Some consider this an “end of Japan” event.  It is not.  However, it is one of the most major of events to affect this earth, as we now know.

Some have reported that it cracked the island in two. This is a “Yes, and no” truth. It caused land mass movement and this movement goes deep into the earth, but in no way has this island now become two islands. Not even close.

The major devastation related exclusively to this particular earthquake is finished for Japan and will only continue in minor ways from other earthquakes as this event sequence settles down.  However, it looks like there could be a 6-7 point earthquake in the 3-4th week in May. This will not duplicate the devastation because it’s already happened. It will make people concerned greatly though.

The rumblings deep in the earth underneath Japan will continue and diminish into June, 2011. It will settle down in the Japan area but the shifts have moved and opened up the volcanic channels east of Japan, and in October we could see increased volcanic activity in the Pacific – a little in Hawaii, but not necessarily in a major way in Hawaii, but some of the other volcanic islands in the Pacific. Some increase in Hawaii, but I think more increase in the Pacific as a whole.

The devastation related to the nuclear power plant is long from over. “If all things stay the same,” it will be several months yet – the middle of May before they are able to effectively bring the radiation exhaust to a close. The deaths from this will also be added to the numbers. The illnesses from this will number in the hundreds of thousands over the next 16 years. The Japanese people will be treating those affected by radiation well into the 2nd half of the 2020’s. We won’t hear much more of this after the next few years have passed. This information will only be recorded in medical databases and government offices as time goes on.

As medical progress is made, better treatments will be available. Much of these advances will be in Japan. It will take about 4 years from now (2014-2015) to make the 1st significant medical step forward, and then another 7 years after that for another, which will then be the step that will greatly reduce the effects of the radiation. So, 10-11 years from now we will see successful remedies for those still alive and suffering from the effects of radiation.

The U.S.
The radiation will eventually reach into the entire western half of the United States. Not in great levels, but in measurable levels.  Lower elevations and more southern areas are the least affected. The greater and more dense the atmosphere above an area, the less radiation will be affecting people. Higher elevations in the Rockies will see higher levels of radiation which will find its way into the rivers and waterways that lead to the lower elevations when the snows melt. This will be most measured and observed during 2011 and 2012.

The radiation levels will not be devastating in the U.S. It will be at a level which can make those already seriously sick and in the most vulnerable position health-wise, become worse. It will affect those with severely compromised immune systems in a detrimental way.

For those that are healthy, it will be handleable, and may not even be noticed. The areas most vulnerable are the northern California coast up to Alaska, but there will be some from central Cal coast line down into Mexico. Some measurements will discover radiation levels higher than normal, but not in a danger to the public at large.

Only at very high elevations will the public at large need to be aware of potential problems. There is no stopping the radiation, but it is incorrect to think that all radiation levels are deadly. All are not. There will be increases in radiation levels, but not deadly increases.  Again, only at higher elevations, especially in the Rockies, will there be levels that can seriously impact health.  This means that wildlife will be affected in a detrimental way, also.

Those cities that have smog will find that their air pollution acts to shield and absorb some of the radiation. Strange world sometimes.

Earth Changes:
In 2005, I “saw” the Indonesian Tsunami as being like “an introduction to a book”. The “book”, metaphorically speaking is the earth changes yet to come. To continue with the metaphor of “the book”, there are 3 chapters to this book. In the same way as an introduction to a book doesn’t have the same strength as the book, the Indonesian Tsunami was not one of the three events. It was only an introduction to the events.

The Japanese event is “chapter one” or rather the 1st of 3 events. Each will be a major event affecting the entire world directly physically and/or indirectly economically.

Also, the Indonesian event was fully an earth event. The Japanese event was both earth source and human. The combination of the Earthquake, the Tsunami and the Nuclear Reactor disaster all add up to the first chapter to this most dramatic of “books”.

While I had not been fully able to see a timeline for all events in 2005, with this event happening, I’m seeing a time line now. I see the 2nd event happening in the time range of 2014-2015. I believe I’m seeing it be weather related. I believe it will be the most devastating winters ever to be on the planet FOR SOME, BUT NOT ALL AREAS OF THE PLANET. The weather will be compounded by mankind not being prepared for the winter-related effects.  For instance, loss of electricity will cause serious problems for some areas, as we saw happen in 2011.   There will be food and fuel shortages in some areas due to extreme temperatures.  Not long-term shortages as in months, but for a few areas, in central US and in some southern state areas, in the neighborhood of days to several weeks.  Preparation will diminish this affect.

While in the U.S., 2011 was a major winter event year, I think I’m seeing the 2014-2015 winter being far worse. Not just for the U.S. but for all of North America, the eastern Coasts of Asia, and in its turn the western coast of South America and Australia.  Britain will have a worse winter.  Continental Europe will have a more severe than normal winter, but not as severe as the western hemisphere. Russia and northern Asia will have a more severe winter than normal, but the worst of it will still be in the western hemisphere.

Interestingly enough, I’m seeing the winters of 2012 and 2013 being milder than usual.  If they are indeed as I see, then prepare for 2014, because events in 2013 will then contribute to the extremely serious winter of 2014.

Weather is changed by human consciousness. Ignoring this fact only means it will continue on the path it is on.  Prayer and meditation affect weather.  If anyone has concerns about prayer for the weather, I ask you to consider, what would God ask of us, to pray or to not pray?  What does Christ ask of us, to call on Him, or not to call on Him?

I see the 3rd and final “chapter” of this “book” in 2018 to 2019. I’m not yet clearly seeing the form it will take. I do believe I’m seeing it be man made, though.  As Yoda said, “the future is always changing”. The future can be changed. As the angels told Lott and his wife in the Old Testament, 10 people can save a city.

When I “read” in 2005, I also looked at how much can be changed of this that I “saw”. I saw that 20% of what I was seeing could be changed or healed, to the point that it would not happen. 80% was so well developed energetically, that even if all souls transformed and left the planet as enlightened beings, the earth itself would still go through these changes to rebalance itself in it’s own process. The combination of humans and earth processes have both created these energies that are now seeking to manifest.  80% is not stoppable and is already set in motion.  All events contribute to the events that follow them.  Weather patterns are like staircases, with each step contributing to the one after it.

The forms in which the energy will manifest into the earth and lives of the human species (as well as all life on Earth) will not be completely finalized until the split second that it happens. However, tendencies and probabilities for specific forms are a reality in this process of seeking manifestation, and this energy will lean towards specific forming into the physical world. Much of this energy can manifest through people’s lives, and some will, but that which doesn’t, will manifest through the earth itself through a change or reaction to the forces acting to manifest the physical event seed energy.

The energy seeking manifestation must come into a form based upon the pattern of the energy. This is why the New York destructive event of 2001, (which Edgar Cayce predicted as a different form- an earthquake) was only the two towers collapsing. The destructive energy was as such a large amount that if people had not worked spiritually throughout the previous decades to bring about healing to ourselves and our planet, Edgar Cayce’s prediction for New York to suffer a devastating earthquake would have occurred exactly as he foresaw. (As a side note, if the earthquake had occurred, the attack on the WTC would not have happened.)

Because people did raise the vibrations of ourselves and the planet, much of the energy directed towards New York could not stay in existence when seeking manifestation with the new higher vibrations that then came from the spiritual efforts. With continued unselfish spiritual efforts within individuals and for the earth itself, the vibration level continues to rise and thus continues to “heal” or dissolve the lower level destructive energy looking to manifest.

So, with the events of this “three chapter book”, it can easily be said that God has given us time in between each event to recuperate from the previous one and work to raise the vibrations of ourselves and our planet, through changing the level within ourselves from which we draw our desire to live. We have time to continue to try to affect some change in between events. We also have time to prepare for coming events.

Either the selfish (which is lower) energy will be what we draw from to live our lives or the unselfish (which is higher) energy will be what we draw from to live our lives. One direction of our thoughts, feelings, actions and beliefs will dissolve the lower energy manifesting, the other direction of our thoughts, feelings, actions and beliefs will maintain it.  Deciding to let everyone decide for themselves is an unselfish decision. God has given everyone freewill. Let us not act to try to take away from others that which God has given to all of us.

With the angels telling Lott and his wife that 10 souls can save a city, we can understand then how we can affect some changes in the whole world – by working unselfishly to contribute our efforts to grow, learn, and manifest the greater aspects and fruits of the Higher Spirit for the benefits of the whole of life on this planet.

I’m ready for questions.

War and Politics

People keep thinking that if one party or the other is in office, then it’s doom or victory for America.  If their own party is in, then everything will work out great, and if it’s not their party, then all bad things will happen.  If one person is the president or the other, then it’s the rise or the fall of the U.S.

This is the lie we want to be true.  We want a villain, and to rally around a cause.  Very little difference happens because of political parties in power.  We say it does, and we perceive as we choose to believe.  But, we think politics is real, because we want war to be useful and good – war in every form, whether with guns or words.  It’s a strange notion – that we want war to be useful and good.

We have divisiveness, we have fighting, we have warring, in many forms and in many areas of society and around the world, because many want divisiveness, fighting and war in all their forms and we want them to be good.  Sometimes we slightly grasp that this notion is insane, but we can easily set that thought aside, if we have a good war in which we can be a part.  We create divisiveness, fighting and war when we don’t have them.  We create them simply because we want them.

This is the real “Real World”.

Our own world is as we, our individual self, creates – not as ‘the other guy’ creates.  Collectively, the world is as we collectively have made it.  Each of us participates and contributes in our own little way – whether we contribute to more war in our own little way, or whether we seek to create something other than war – whether in politics or life.

2012 and Beyond: Building a New Paradigm

“As to the changes that are coming, as in the fulfilling of time and space (which has been referred to), these will, as indicated, depend upon what individuals and groups do about that they know respecting His will, His purpose with man.” [Edgar Cayce Reading 1602-6]

On April 11 and May 16, 2010, Jodie Senkyrik will be presenting a 2-part workshop series sponsored by the Southwest Region of the Association for Research and Enlightenment, and held at the Red Corral Ranch B & B outside Wimberley, Texas.

We have many expectations and much wonder about what 2012 will bring, and as to what effects we will experience from the influence of this planetary  time. Yet, the consciousness shift associated with this historical time doesn’t so much happen to us, as it does from us and through us.  In this series, we will exam our spiritual, mental and physical evolution, as well as our role in bringing these forth. We will also examine the paradox of realizing that we cannot evolve ourselves, bringing the question “then how do we do it?”

Part 1- April 11,  2010, 1pm – 5:30pm. Einstein said that we cannot solve our problems at the level they were created.  In the same way, we cannot build a new paradigm from our own understanding.  We cannot evolve ourselves.  We grow, build and evolve through that which is new that comes into our awareness and consciousness.   The beginning of our evolution of our understanding of the Spiritual aspect of ourselves is the development of an ongoing relationship to the spiritual aspect of ourselves.  It is the recognition that the world we live in now is two worlds – a physical world where we find our body existing, and a spiritual world that we are growing to believe in and touch, and  discovering coexists together “alongside” the physical, though only recognized through spiritual means.

Part 2 – May 16, 2010, 1pm-5:30pm. In this session, we will explore our mental and physical paradigms, looking for ways to expand our own understanding of what we already “think we know.”  We will explore the role of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th chakras, with their relationship to the mind and body.  We will address our current paradigms regarding the physical body and physical world.

We’ll also expand on the importance of what Edgar Cayce calls, “the imaginative forces” and the impact  imagination has on our own transformative evolution.  We will discuss the beliefs regarding the statement, “If we can think it, we can do it.”
**************
Whether working with spiritual, mental or physical paradigms, building new paradigms never destroys the previous paradigms, but expands beyond it when the parameters – the mind – is open and permeable, with the previous paradigm serving only as a beginning for our ever  growing understanding.

Jodie Senkyrik has been a regular presenter for the A.R.E. Southwest Region, since returning in 2001 from California.  His first A.R.E. presentation was just one month after Sept. 11, 2001 with “The Karmic Connection to the 9-11 Attack” outlining the karmic connection of souls’ involvement with this event – on both sides – with the soul and national connections leading back to Atlantis, Rome, the ancient Middle East and more.  He speaks on such subjects as Psychic Ability in Human Beings, Cleaning up Fear, A Psychic View of Love and Death, the Atlantean Hall of Records, the Evolution of the Soul, and more.   Many of his presentations are available for free from the Download Page of this blog.

The Pledge of Allegiance

Many say that we need to have God mentioned in the Pledge of Allegiance and all the oaths in the United States.  I wish saying the word, “God” would actually put God into the hearts of individuals.  But, it doesn’t.

The main issue is never what we “say” in the Pledge of Allegiance.  The main issue will always be, if we “live” the Pledge of Allegiance.

We can speak the name of “God” in the Pledge of Allegiance and anything else we want, and yet live a life of very little kindness, very little mercy, little forgiveness, loving only those that support us, never reaching further to understand another human being, willing to point fingers of guilt, and impatient with those “that get in the way”.  Where is God in this life of this person who speaks the name of “God” in the Pledge of Allegiance,  and is willing to slander anyone who has a different opinion?

Politics

It is a real challenge sometimes when, as a psychic, I see patterns and occurrences psychically, that deal with our everyday life.  They aren’t connected to spiritual issues, but rather to aspects of living in this world.  I’ve mentioned some of these in the past.

For example, 1. seeing pharmaceutical companies strengthening their control over the A.M.A. more so even than now.  By the middle of the next decade, they will have 60-70% control of the AMA as a whole with only a small percentage of doctors on the AMA board even trying to be objective.  What the pharmaceutical industry wants to happen will happen.  By the end of the next decade some will oppose this in principal, but it will be this way for several decades to come.  The American Medical Association will become an arm of the pharmaceutical industry – bought, paid for, and fully in control.

But, while I see this psychically, how do I present this without being looked at as having a political agenda of my own.  Perhaps I won’t escape this label.

Another example: The political war going on in Washington is going to actually get even worse than it is now.  There is a power battle going on within each sides political ideals.  And the “collateral damage” will be the lack of any real change happening on the policy level.  It doesn’t matter which party is in office or which party appears to be in control – the spiritual ideal of cooperation is seen few and far between.  And the unfortunate part is that the banners of this internal war is taken up by the citizens because what is held to is the idea that “if our side wins, we’ll get what we want and everything will get better.”

When I see this psychically, I “see” that many people actually want war, in whatever form it can be attained.  Those who seek to war as their way of living will actually get what they want.  There is no shortage of ways a person can war against another person or group.  If we see anyone as an “enemy” from any perspective, then we choose war as our next step.

While I get discouraged, it helps me to go back to the Bible’s first revelation – that God created souls for companionship.  It helps me to remember that our Infinite God has infinite patience with us to try to evolve into being better human beings.  Our Infinite God has infinite understanding of why we seek what we do – coming many times from our limited beliefs about our self and our world.  Our Infinite God has infinite support for us learning better ways of living in this Earth – whether we choose to learn willingly from the opportunities given to open minds or choose to learn the hard way from the end results of closed minds.

It helps me to remember that all that happens in the world, in our community, in our nation, in our own individual life, are events in which God is willing to walk with us, from the inside out, to help us learn more about our relationship with Him, and in its turn, each other and ourselves.  It helps me to remember that when I practice patience with others, God becomes alive inside me.  When I practice understanding or mercy or forgiveness, God is the one inside me, that is manifesting in the moment in the Earth.  When I practice kindness, compassion, and cooperation in the face of opposition to all these qualities, God is helping change me and in turn, change the situation that is happening in front of me.  In the moments that I apply what I’ve learned to bring forth the fruits of the spirit, God is demonstrating His Love in a practical, useful and change-facilitating way.

Finally, during the times I am most discouraged, I try to remember two more things.  First, our Infinite God is completely and infinitely consciously aware of all levels of the suffering we experience and see happening.  He will not leave us nor forsake us, but is with us even to the end of “the world”.  I try to remember to be patient with God, because it reminds me that God does have something better in mind for humanity and the Earth, and is more active in this “something better” for humanity than I can fathom.

If we’re going to be companions to our Infinite Loving God, we’d better start acting like companions to our Infinite Loving God.  I think applying what we learn could be how we can do that.

Judas Chosen

I write this not to condemn Judas, but also not to raise him to a level that would ignore the issues being dealt with.

There are many that are writing that Judas was chosen to fulfill the role of Jesus’ betrayer.  It depends on a certain perspective as to whether it is true and what this then means.  There is much coming forth that portrays Judas as having acted from divine will, without choice, or with a noble purpose in mind.  In my writings, I write of what I “see” psychically, and although there are many perspectives, I am not seeing some of what others report.

I see several points to consider when first examining the role of Judas.

Freewill:

First of all, Judas at no time had his freewill taken away from him.   This cannot be ignored.  God does not take away freewill from anyone, for any reason, at any time.    In addition, the shortcomings that led Judas to act in the way which led to his betraying Christ were real and available to be changed, healed and transformed – even to the point of not acting in the way he did in an alternate path.

Judas’ difference from the other Apostles, and that which leads many to say Judas was special, was that the other Apostles’ shortcomings and faults were not available to bring about Jesus’ death.   Every Apostle had an issue to deal with – Judas’ was arrogance, Peter’s was anger, and each in their own right, was representative of a struggle within the human consciousness in facing a particular issue of life.

No other Apostle was to face the impact of their challenge/issue with the same potential outcome.  Judas did indeed have one of the more important issues to address within himself – an issue everyone must eventually face.  This can be considered part of the message of examining Judas’ life, though.

If we take a look at arrogance, we can see that it is the perspective and belief that we are better than the other – even when the other is God.  It is a holding of a perspective that our ideas, thoughts, feelings, directives are better even than God’s.  It includes the consciousness “Our own will, not thine be done, Lord.”  It is when we place ourselves first, and God and all others second.  This attitude and consciousness does contribute to separation from God, over oneness with God.  And if we were to perceive the life of Judas and Jesus metaphorically, as two different aspects of ourselves, we can see how arrogance – believing we know better what path is to be taken than God – has an effect even within our own self.

****

The role of Judas was to deal with the arrogance within his own consciousness.  This quality of consciousness for him as well as for all of us, must be dealt with, faced directly, or it will bring forth problems and throw us off our path.  The role of the soul of Judas is even now to deal with arrogance within his own consciousness.  Arrogance is what led him to act as he did, and becoming aware of his arrogance is what led him to then commit suicide.

Dealing with arrogance is something we all have to face – sooner or later.  All of us will eventually take on the role of Judas in our own life for our self.  Arrogance is when we place our self above others and even above God – when thinking we are the source of the good that comes from within us.  How we face this issue each and every time that it comes up, determines how we relate to the Christ Spirit within – putting the Christ Spirit within onto the throne or putting the Christ Spirit within onto the cross.

****

Had Judas been willing and able to resolve his arrogance issue in that life, he would not have been instrumental in Jesus’ death.  Jesus’ death was still to happen, but it would have been through another avenue.  Judas would not have lived long after that.  He would have been one of the first ones quickly to be killed by the Romans since he was a recognized Zealot.  In this alternate timeline, he would have been happy in his death.

****

From a direct spiritual perspective:

From the spiritual perspective, there is no judgment of any of us, including Judas, Hitler, bin Laden, and anyone else who we here on earth consider to have acted with evil intent or done evil.  This is appropriate and binding because from our spiritual perspective, when we are unencumbered by earthly perspectives, we can see far more of the great and big picture of how God can take our shortcomings, our mistakes, and even death itself, and turn them into life, can take ashes and turn it into the Phoenix, can take betrayal and turn it into the single most life-giving act to have happened for humankind – Christ’s death upon the Cross – and all that this death on the Cross brings forth (even though we don’t fully understand all that it brings forth.)  It demonstrates that with God, all things are possible – even bringing life from death.

From those on the other side, sending information through avenues to the physical world, Judas’ actions can be seen in the light of his participation with the roll of the Cross.  His act of “betrayal” becomes extremely unimportant and minutely insignificant compared to what Christ’s death on the Cross brings us.   So, it is appropriate even that their message is one of acknowledgment of Judas in the light of how significant Jesus’ death on the Cross is for the entire spiritual evolutionary path of all humankind.

For lack of a better metaphor, it is like seeing a splinter bring about the creation of a whole universe.  The bad of the one is so extremely overshadowed by the good of the other.  Judas is recognized more for what God did with his actions, than what mankind thinks of his actions.  It is the same with the story of Joseph and his brothers selling him into Egypt.  Joseph later sees that what they meant for evil, God meant for good.  This doesn’t mean they were meant to do what they did, but rather it shows the ability of God and what He can do with any evil, destructive or negative situation.

We must also take into account that the acts which wholly encompassed the betrayal by Judas, is wholly and completely forgivable.  Even Judas knows this.   As we meet ourselves and that which we do, we are to find that place within ourselves to forgive and be forgiven.  It is easy when God is part of the act.  We are to forgive Judas for his actions.  This is for all humans/souls to do.   Placing his acts in a better light or better perspective can help this forgiveness to take place.

There was no stopping Christ’s death on the cross.  Jesus knew his fate when He was the person of Enoch.  It is for this that He came.  His final act was to show us where we all will go as the spiritual beings that we actually are – to leave this Earth plane.  How can we as spiritual beings leave this Earth plane if we as spiritual beings don’t leave this Earth plane?

But where to?  to that place from which we originated – the realm of Spirit – with each life form eventually recognizing that we are spirit beings embodying physical forms, and not physical beings.  Since we souls are all foreigners on this planet, it is for us to eventually remember this and return from whence we came – and I’m not talking about other physical planes or planets.  I’m talking about the realm of awareness of spiritual identity.

Finally, it is this spiritual perspective that it would be good for us to grow towards, but also including a balanced understanding of all aspects of events.  We don’t have to give up understanding in this world in order to gain being non-judgmental developing the spiritual world’s perspective at the same time.

Visitors from other Realms

What can  you tell me about the visitors from other realms – planets, dimensions, planes?

They are here also to learn and evolve.  They are on their own evolutionary paths, and visiting here observing us is part of their learning and evolutionary path.  They have things they can learn while here.

While many have higher understandings of technology, they don’t necessarily all have a greater understanding of the nature of the heart as the seat of God and Love.  They don’t necessarily all have an understanding of patience, forgiveness, love, kindness.  They’re very much like humans in this respect, aren’t they?

They also want to grow and learn.  In the same way that different human cultures have different things to learn from and teach each other, different cultures/species from other planes have something to learn and teach one another, also.

They have different paradigms than ours.  They have different backgrounds, beliefs, understandings, knowledge, and considerations.  While some may think that one group has greater consciousness than the other, this isn’t necessarily true.  All groups have members at all different levels of consciousness in the process of learning and evolving at these different levels.

So, for us and “them”, we have much to learn and teach.  They have much to learn and teach.  As it says in the movie, “Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves” – ‘Allah loves variety’.  And for me, this includes the variety of species and cultures in the universe and what we each have to share with each other – both teaching and learning.

Commercial or Spiritual?

There’s some criticism that occurs around this time of year. Some think that the season has gotten commercial, commercial, and more commercial. A person can definitely perceive it as such. And many want to, thinking that criticizing the purchasing will heighten the spiritual message.

This never works, though, does it. Regardless of the disgruntled, the season of giving continues. Still, it is the Spirit of Worship that leads some to feel commercialism isn’t what the season is about. And in a sense, selling things isn’t what the season is about.

But, the Spirit of Giving is what the season is about. The giving of gifts started not with the three wise men, but with The Father. Our Father, who art in heaven, who has given us the gift of His Son, Christ. And three wise men followed suit.  (Following God’s example is why they may have been thought wise.)

Then the legend tells us that the giving of gifts secretly started with one man hundreds of years ago, when he gave helpful gifts to the needy, during the silence of the night. And the Spirit of Giving became alive again. With the Spirit alive again, it made that silent night, also a holy night, for the Spirit of Giving – the Spirit of Christ came forth again.

But, it is the Spirit of Giving that is inside us when we are at the stores, even if in only a small spark. We all want to participate in the giving of something that is appreciated and needed. We want to give something to those we think most of and feel most close to. We take this time, whether willingly or sometimes disgruntledly, to remember those important to us by giving a gift showing to them that they are thought of fondly, respectfully, or in high esteem hopefully giving them happiness.

The spirit is catching, too. During the Christmas, or holiday season (whichever is preferred), there really is a better feeling towards others, perhaps even a greater consideration of others. Sure, business and life goes on, but within the heart of the individual the feelings come forth whether we realize it or not with the thoughts of those close to us and what would make a nice gift for them – what would make them smile.

Who doesn’t like receiving a gift, which demonstrates that someone was thinking of their well being and joy? We know in our hearts that the receiver of our gifts, bought or made, are going to have some good feelings receiving the gift. So, commercial or spiritual, the Spirit is alive and well in both – in different ways, but still in both – maybe hidden to the other point of view, but within them both anyway.

I would rather have this world with Spirit living in both of these points of view, than a world with only one point of view, or neither. Be joyful, for this time of year the Spirit of God lives inside us more, whether in great ways or small, and regardless of the symbols we use. Then we can say what the dream told me to be true… indeed, “if Santa Claus didn’t come once a year, this world would be in terrible shape.”

So, we may give in whatever way we think will bring happiness to others.  In doing so, the Spirit of Goodwill lives inside us.  And while we’re out purchasing gifts, consider also adding “under the tree” the gifts of understanding, tolerance, forgiveness, mercy, and patience with others.  We have these gifts to give from an infinite source which lives inside our hearts if we so choose, especially during the Christmas and holiday season.

California – 1. Southern Cal.

There was a great deal of information that came out in the 1960’s through the 1980’s and then in the 1990’s about possible land shifts and earth changes related to California.  In the Edgar Cayce readings, California is spoken about also.

But, while many people are speaking about Cayce’s predictions, few are speaking about what he said about his own predictions.  He said first that these things will happen “if all things stay the same.”  This means if humanity continues along its path of behavior, thought and feelings, the predictions based on these behaviors, thoughts and feelings will come to pass.  If humanity changes its behavior, thought and feelings, the predictions (the future) will be changed, also.

Change is what humanity has done.  Many millions have heard the call of Spirit and acted in line with the healing that comes with, “Love God above all else and love you’re neighbor as yourself.”  So, why does it surprise so many people when the earth changes don’t happen exactly as predicted?  Probably because so little is understood about the real way that spirituality and the energy of spirituality through prayer and meditation have an effect on humanity and human life, as well as how the act of predicting and the psychic mechanism work within the individual.

First, to make it short, prayer and meditation do impact the energy of manifestation guiding the form and scenario of  how circumstantial events play out.  It is the energy of the individual and group consciousnesses being sent out influencing energy that has been sent out previously and now returning.

Secondly, decades of misunderstanding of psychic ability and principles are both behind us as well as still ahead of us.  It won’t be until the last decade of this century that psychic ability and predicting is more readily understood – 80 years away.

Earthquakes

Looking at the land itself from today on, if all things stay the same and if mankind continues on the time-line we are on………

The actual borders of California will not change in major ways.  There will be minor, minor changes related to some increased erosion of small amounts of cliff areas along the coast line in the central Cal area.  This small amounts of erosion of small areas of cliff-lines comes from weakening land structure of hundreds of small earthquakes eventually taking it’s toll on parts of the underground, deep foundation structure.  The shaking of central California over time creates a type of characteristic that I can only call “looseness” of the substructure underground.

With regards to earthquakes, in southern California, I’m not seeing a super major earthquake in California for several years and that could change to be longer.
a. I see a possible 4.3-4.4 in the middle of October, 2009.  It could be as small as a 3.3 or 3.4.
b. Many small ones through 2009 less than 4.0
c. The largest in Nov, 2009, will be 3.5, if it reaches that high.
d. In Jan, 2010, a 4.5 as the largest possible.  But, I think it will come in around 3.7 or 3.8.
e.  One more before July, 2010
f.  August -Dec, 2010, rather quiet unless…
g.  If a 5.0 happens in 2010, it will happen in Aug/Sept time period
h. No 6 or 7 pointers in 2010.
i.  in 2011, I see a possible reaching up to 6.0 to 6.3 in the winter/spring months – Feb, or Mar.  This will be extremely deep and may not be very destructive.  It could be as small as another 4.0 though.  I think it will come in at around 4.8.
j. In 2012, besides the fear of drastic events, I don’t see a lot happening.  Very similar to 2009 and 2010.  I do see one possibility, though, for a 6.5 occurring close to the surface and spreading throughout southern California, north of Pasadena and San Bernadino.  While it could potentially reach a 6.5, I think it will come in at 4.5 to 5.5.
k.  The sizes of these depends a lot on the sizes of many of the others that precede them.  With small earthquakes, some pressure is released that avoids large earthquakes.
l.  I see a potential 7.0 in 2013.  Ask me again about this before we get there.

Again, I’m not seeing a super earthquake in southern Cal in the next 4 years.  Just many, mostly small, (like normally happens) and a few of them larger than normal.

Fires

Fires will be like they have been before, and every year for the next 10 years.  Around 2017/2018, there will be “something” that causes an extremely low number of fires.  I think it will be a super amount of rain throughout the southern 75% of the state.  Rain – all the time in that year.

During the 2017 and 2018, there will also be better ways of fighting fires and keeping fires from starting (beginning in 2015) – some procedures and technology that work to protect the land and trees as a preventative measure. (This could either be the rain or it could be a widespread effort to try new “technology”.)

Water

Water for southern Cal will be one of the serious issues that officials will have to deal with. Weather is more affected by humans than realized.
a. Steps are in place to ensure water for SoCal for the next 4 years, but after 2013, it will become more difficult to get for the southern part of the state.
b. A deal with Nevada to happen in 2013 will help So.  Cal., but it will cost Cal more than ever before.
c. 2010 will be below normal rainfall level
d. 2011 will start off appearing to be a rainy year but will not provide enough to equal the deficit.
e. Rainfall can be helped through prayer for healthier weather patterns.
f. 2012 will actually be a very rainy winter and spring.  Some rain at the beginning of the summer.
g. Each year’s weather is affected or influenced by the previous years weather.
h.  Nevada’s weather will not be like California’s and their desire to hold onto their water will be why the cost to Cal will be higher.
i.  2013 is looking like a drought year at the moment.

Economy

Southern Cal’s economy will steadily continue okay with little slow down.
a.  2009 has seen some tough troubles, but 2010 will be the time that SoCal climbs out of the hole with effort and struggle.
b.  2011 will be better than 2010, because there will be some noticeable changes in the business  of doing business in Southern California.  This will take the form of new innovations in industry and new businesses that weren’t developed much until the economy tanked.  New ways of doing business for some big money players, and new businesses that spring forth because now is the time for them.
c.  More investing will come from Southern Calif in 2011.  Not as much yet as were during 2007 or 2008, but better than ’09 and ’10.
2012 will see a few delays in the recovery and some metaphorical “potholes”, but the year will not be considered worse than 2011, just about the same.
d.  2013 will bring new hope, and a renewed sense of “let’s get to work and do this.”
e.  Starting in 2013, the economic problems for Southern Cal will be behind them and steady progress and increase in the years ahead until some problems slow things in 2017 or 2018.
f.  Again, regular economic progress from 2013 to 2017 or 18 before a slow down.
g.  For Southern Cal, the economy will seem to be dragging from 2018 to about late 2021.

Technology

a. No real influential technological improvements for 2009 affecting Southern Cal.
b. 2011 will bring some technological improvements which will be innovations that enter the market.
c.  In 2012 the bugs come forth – technologically speaking.  I see much frustration with electronics  and supposed improvements – things not working on the personal level.  But, this is not so much technology but the natural forces acting upon the technology bringing out the vulnerabilities which our technology has.  This will pertain to cell phone problems, some major computer networking problems, some electricity overload problems.  Natural forces pushing stronger and greater magnetic fields into and influencing the systems and overloading them.  Not all systems everywhere, but a handful of major systems by some of the big companies.
d.  The problems will mostly be worked out by the end of the spring, 2013.
e.  These problems won’t be avoided because there is not an understanding of the forces that will be affecting these technological systems.

What did I forget?

In looking at this right now, I look for the events and their strength of energy level that would bring them about.  There are some events which have high/strong levels and some that have low/weak levels of energy for manifesting.  That is why the future can be changed by human beings.  Humans sent energy out in times past bringing or influencing events that happen today.  Human energy sent out today can influence the human energy coming from past sending out.  This is in the same vein and hence why it’s true when John 4:18 says, “Perfect love casteth out fear.”  The energy we send out now (best done via prayer and meditation) can influence the energy we sent out previously.

Alternate Life for John F. Kennedy

I’m going to put this information online.  I do know that it will bring some pro and con opinions and feelings.  I add it here because it came in a reading.

In psychically examining the life of President John F. Kennedy, I was able to see an alternate life for him.  The pivot point was in his joining the military and participating in the war in the Pacific.

I saw psychically that if he had NOT been a part of the war in the Pacific via not entering the military, he still could have achieved the presidency, but he would not have been assassinated.  However, he would only have lived one to two more years.  His illnesses would have overtaken him.  I saw psychically that in the most likely alternative path, he would have been in bed for the last six months of his one term.  He would not have been able to physically hold office any more than the one term.

History doesn’t speak much about his illnesses, but he suffered from several.  These illnesses were taking their toll on him physically.

I think sometimes the time we have to spend on this planet for this particular life may be flexible somewhat but not necessarily in great ways.

In doing the reading for JFK, I didn’t see an alternative path that would have allowed him to have a full second term.  I did see a few alternative paths in which he would have lived to as late as 1967 or the beginning of 1968, but in a wheelchair for the last few years.

I didn’t examine the controversy around Oswald, nor do I have any plan to.  I can add little here that would be considered physical evidence and anything I add here concerning Oswald would only add to the fire, not to a resolution.
