Freewill and Judgement Question

I wonder how you define freewill, I’m a bit theologically curious. I don’t think God is as non judgmental as you seem to [think], and I think you are giving him a get out of jail free card on some things. And my bias is Christian…  V.

Thanks for the comment and question. (Here’s my answer.  I’m sure others would have other answers.)

More important than my understanding of freewill and more important than our differences in our beliefs is the question, “What do we do with our beliefs?”

The world will never have “Peace on Earth, and Goodwill towards all men” if we think we all must believe the same way, because that’s not going to happen.  But, if we look at the question of what do we do with our beliefs, or to what use do we put our beliefs, or how do our own beliefs serve us?, then as we answer this or these questions, our answers will determine how we treat and relate to God, ourselves, and each other.

If we use our beliefs to strengthen our kindness, our compassion, our understanding, mercy and forgiveness, our support, our encouragement, our willingness to hold the hand of those who need a helping hand, then we will find that the world does indeed gain more “Peace on Earth and Goodwill towards all men.”

But, if we use our beliefs to condemn, to criticize, to judge, or to carry out our own vengeance, or our own bitterness, resentment, or hatred, then we will not achieve that which Christ has come to establish.  We can use our beliefs to bury people in guilt and shame.  We can use our beliefs to symbolically stone people to death, until they despair and lose all sense of hope for themselves.  We can use our beliefs to chain and imprison people in blame.   We can use our beliefs in any number of ways to bury people under the weight of the entire world, if we want to choose that.

Regardless of what God chooses to do, to judge or not judge, we can choose, within our own hearts and minds, the beliefs, acts, thoughts and feelings which we want to follow and become who we choose to be.  This is how I define freewill – making a choice on our/my own actions, our/my own feelings, our/my own thoughts, and our/my own beliefs, and then following through with them.

This may seem to some people to contradict the fact that we live on a planet that has a system of justice and imprisonment.  This is a reality on our planet, but each of us still has the choice within us as to whether we condemn another or hate another within our own heart.  Even those that commit crimes, that go through our criminal system, and that are imprisoned – these men and women are loved by someone, and most certainly by Christ,  in addition to being the recipients of Infinite Love from our Infinite God, who also offers Infinite Forgiveness, Infinite Understanding, Infinite Mercy to you, me and everyone else.

This means that everyone, no matter what we, of our own freewill have chosen to act out, or think, or believe, — everyone is already worthy enough to be loved — with no exceptions — and no one can stop this love going to another person.  We can only stop what comes to ourselves.

When we realize this is for all of us, and let the Infinite Expressions of God come forth for all of us, then we have (to use the common phrase) “accepted the keys to the kingdom” – the keys to that existence where Infinite Forgiveness, Infinite Mercy, Infinite Understanding, Infinite Patience, Infinite Compassion and Infinite Love all exist and are ours both within and without.

But, wait, there’s more.  (Sorry, it was too tempting to write that sentence.)  We don’t have to wait until we die to accept this, because of our own freewill, we can choose – within our hearts and minds today to act, to think, to relate, to treat others from that place within us where God lives and where we can draw upon Infinite Mercy, Infinite Patience, Infinite Forgiveness, Infinite Understanding and Infinite Love when dealing with each other.  This is called, “creating a Heaven on Earth.”

God has given us freewill to make our own choices.  These choices of actions, feelings, emotions, thoughts, beliefs and more, – we make these choices every minute of every day.  As humans, we are a mixed bag of all of these, including being judgmental and condemning at times.  With that, it’s not unheard of our wanting God to follow our lead and be like we are, judging who and what we judge, rather than us follow Christ’s lead – being patient, forgiving and merciful – letting go of judgement.

Thank you, again, for your comments and question.  This is how I answer, and I’m sure it is very different than many others’ answer.

Politics and Religion and Bears – Oh, My!

How many of you reading this blog, think that everyone else reading this blog thinks, feels, and votes politically, the same way that you do? are probably in the same camp? are with you on your side? How many? Go ahead and raise your hands. Okay… 1… 2 … 5… 12…

Now step back – how many of any group of us believe that everyone else reading this blog – or in any group we belong to, church we go to, school we attend or organization we are involved with – believe the same way we do about politics, political parties and our elected officials? Of course the answer is “No one thinks that everyone believes, thinks, feels and VOTES – all of these – the same way we do. Similar – sometimes yes, but exactly the same?  God, no.

The diversity of feelings, thoughts, beliefs about politics, political parties, and voting is truly, truly diverse, even among like-minded people.

Yet, we all gather together and attend our own church together. We all gather together and attend school, go to work, support organizations, and read this blog (well, maybe not gathered together to read the blog.)  We all still gather together in our groups, and families, and jobs and etc. etc.  Usually, we gather together, because we don’t talk politics and religion.

(Speaking politically about the different political parties, or different churches or different religions, I say, if you want to rant and rave, and rage against the political and religious machines, go ahead.)

It’s just that I’m reminded that Jesus never once spoke out against the Roman government or Roman officials, who were ruling the area. Jesus never spoke out against any government or government officials.  Nor did he speak out against the Roman religion or the Samaritan religion or the Gentiles’ religions. Christ never spoke out against the established forces and religions of the day.

What Jesus called the Romans was “Brothers”, as in “We are all brothers and sisters.”  Jesus had Roman followers.  John the Baptist did the same – he called the Romans brothers and had many Romans, even soldiers, come to be baptized – and they stayed Roman soldiers afterwards.  John’s instructions to the Romans were be honest with each other – don’t mistreat one another. Do your jobs with respect for others.

Jesus’ directive was “Follow Me.” And we follow someone by walking on the path they walk on. Jesus walked the path of Loving kindness. He walked the path of knowing everyone was His brother and sister. He walked the path of understanding, patience, forgiveness, tolerance, and mercy. He walked the path of helping one another. He walked the path of brotherhood.

Jesus never condemned, criticized or spoke out against anyone, …

except hypocrites and those that buried the people with religious condemnation “from above.”

Jesus never condemned other religions, but we do. Jesus never condemned other political affiliations, but we do. Christ never spoke out against anyone who was different or from a culture or group that was different from his own. He never spoke out against Gays, Lesbians, or Transgendered and they existed then. Jesus never condemned prostitutes, alcoholics, or any subgroup or subculture in society, but we do. Christ never condemned other ethnic groups, immigrants, “illegal aliens,” people from other nations….

but we do.

Jesus Christ never condemned any other group – except hypocrites – those that said one thing but lived another – those that easily condemned others with their message “if you’re not like me, you’re evil” or “wrong” or “condemned” or etc…., or “if you don’t live as I think you should, believing as I think you should, you’re WRONG!”… or “if you don’t live as I tell you to, you’re condemned in the eyes of God.”  How many of us have heard these messages expressed?  How many of us have been on the receiving end of these messages?  (Have any of us said these messages?)

Jesus Christ opened His arms for everyone, every culture, every subculture, every group, every subgroup, every organization, every political party, every religion, every everything, saying ‘Follow me on this path of Love, Kindness, Understanding, Patience, Mercy, and Forgiveness.’ ‘Follow me on this path I walk of Charity, of Brotherhood, of Tolerance, of Compassion, or Cooperation, of Humbleness, and Long-Suffering.’ ‘Follow me on this path I walk of knowing and seeing everyone being equal and deserving of God’s Infinite Love in the Infinite Eyes of God, and of everyone being brothers and sisters – children to Our Creator Father/Mother God – the God of all and the source of all Love, all Compassion, all Mercy, all Patience, all Forgiveness, all Acceptance and all Kindness.’

Jesus opened His arms for everyone that wants Love, Kindness, Mercy, Forgiveness, Tolerance, etc, and He still does. His only request is that we then share these things with each other, ….

and, I guess, patience and long-suffering with those that do speak “condemnation” (which I will admit absolutely takes God’s help to do, sometimes.)

*******

“No one speaking judgement and condemnation, speaks for God.  No one speaking punishment and retribution, speaks for God.  The one speaking love, forgiveness, understanding, kindness, brotherhood, patience and mercy – this one speaks for God.” (The Rainbow Cards, ©, 1999-2015, Jodie Senkyrik)

The Virginia Killing

This is an article about the Virginia killing of two people by another person.

When this happens, and it has happened a lot – too much, it is about people and people’s lives – like yours and mine. It is about those that are killed, and it is about the person who does the killing.

Many of us are on a spiritual path. As strange as it seems, we’re on this spiritual path for ourselves, but we can only move along on our journey by giving of our spiritual path to everyone and this is done by helping others. It is by opening our hearts and minds to give out our spirit to others which moves us along our path. It is by praying for others, meditating with and for others, being kind and forgiving to others, supporting others – and more, that we are opened to greater understanding, a greater Oneness and greater awareness.

The helping of others is why we are in this Earth. As spirits, we are here to walk our path and in so doing, be a light for others to see clearly. This Light comes forth from within us when we open ourselves to that which other people need, (not necessarily what people want, though.)

With the killing of two people in Virginia by another person, and so many other times similar things have happened, our path can call us to pray for these two people. But, our greater spiritual destiny calls for us to pray for the person who killed them, as well. This is the more important reason why we’re here in this planet – to help those who are in so much darkness and turmoil, despair and madness that they believe murder and suicide is their answer. It is these people that are in a monumentally great need for prayers.  It is these who are wrapped in the greatest sickness of the soul.

Yes, we don’t forget the trauma of souls that are killed by another. They are in need of our prayers and they will have many praying for them – family, friends, the people who watch the video, the people who knew them. But, the person that did the killing, it is this soul that God also seeks to bring into the light – even after he and others have done all these things that they’ve done.  To God, there is no difference between one child and another – one healthy child and one sick child.

It is these souls that God asks us to pray for also, because these are the souls who are the sickest in their souls and most in the darkness of their spirit. They are the ones who suffer without knowing it from being in a state of madness which they, by themselves, would never be able to come out of.

It is also these souls in the darkness that we do the work that we do in this Earth. It is to these souls also who Christ has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you, even unto the end of the world.” If it takes that long, Christ will never leave us, or them – the souls who are in the blackest darkness, who are in the most twisted madness – the souls who are in the most unrelenting black hole. It is these souls who we are referring to when we say, “God, please send your Healing Light and Love to those who have no one to pray for them. Send your Healing Light to those who are in the deepest darkness, lost to everyone and everything except you. Let your Light and Life help them in the way that only You may know. God, be with them, help them, according to all things within Your will. Please, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.

And Father, remember all of us, when we act in any way to harm another person or another life. Amen.”

Down to Yellow Alert

I’ve been foreseeing events since the 1960’s, as a child. Some of the events happened, and some had been changed. I foresaw WW3 happening in the late 1990’s, when I was doing readings in the 1980’s. It didn’t happen. But, also in the 1980’s, I foresaw hurricanes going up the east coast and the issues with water via rationing and bottling of water, and that has happened. I foresaw droughts and harsh winters which did happen and I foresaw storms and other events which didn’t happen.

Each of the predictions felt the same, presented themselves the same, and I sensed/saw them all the same.

In addition to this, I’ve had *literally* hundreds of thousands of psychic experiences happening every day throughout the majority of my life, which helped me to be familiar with and have confidence in the process I’m involved in. I’ve studied the Edgar Cayce materials. I’ve read and learned from other psychics. I’ve been psychic many past lives and have been on this planet this time now for over 5 decades.

No amount of comments or beliefs from others will change my paradigm which I’ve worked on and been involved in for all these years. But, from time to time, what I’ve foreseen hasn’t happened.

In those times, almost each time, when I can study the “changed” situation in depth and look back on the process, I have come to see a greater Higher Spiritual involvement at work than I had seen earlier. Psychically, sometimes, I’ve been able to see Christ involved directly. At other times, I’ve seen people join together to bring a stronger Spirit into the Earth that became immersed into our day-to-day lives, flowing like the atmosphere around us, helping influence actual Earth and human events. Some of those times, I also have become aware that I had focused on and continued to focus on a timeline that we had outgrown and no longer was playing out for us.

God’s words I once heard in meditation were/are “Come unto Me, and I will come unto you.” And with this, as humans on this planet, I’ve seen many human beings do just that through meditation, prayer and “random acts of kindness, etc” (not really so random and I know it’s a cliche.) To me, this has been our side of the picture – “Come unto Me”. For me, this phrase means – “connect with Me” while in the Earth, and which God then fulfills the 2nd part with “I will come unto you” in the Earth.

In no way does this mean that this should now be a living paradise and everyone getting along. There is no getting around the fact that we have freewill, and this means we can hate anyone we want to hate. Freewill also means we can condemn anyone we want to condemn, hurt anyone we want, ridicule and belittle, disrespect, criticize and judge, and on and on. We all have freewill and so plenty of people are choosing these.

But, some of us are choosing to practice the presence of God – seeking to “Come unto Me”. For this reason, God is active in the Earth. In essence, the ‘Son’ comes out and ‘dries up the storms’ – both human storms and physical storms. For me, premonitions and visions are a call for prayer to help heal what can be healed before anything harmful happens. I’ve always held that this is their purpose.

****
I’ve looked back at notes, dreams and written entries which I write down sometimes. I found references to these particular “2nd Event” visions. The message I got a few weeks ago, in my written notes, actually said, “The visuals have changed.” (not the word, ‘appearance’). This tells me that much of the energy destined to manifest physically still exists, but the ‘how, what and how much’ has changed. We prayed for the people of the area where I saw the 2nd event destined. These people are currently not going through the predicted natural disasters.

I’ve seen how the energy of disasters can be spread out over time to not be as strong in any one time and place. Originally, I saw this event as already having been spread out. And yes, now I see it being spread out even more over time and place. This information I did NOT go looking for until a few days ago, when I had the vision of “a kitchen counter being swept clean and empty by an arm.” To me this signified “start with a clean slate or start from scratch”.

When it doesn’t happen, I want to know why. Sometimes it’s obvious, but this time I’ve learned that there’s more going on than what I’ve been seeing so far – a much bigger vision. It could be that one of the most important things to learn is that God is a great deal more active in our lives than we know. Prayer and meditation help us to open our minds and hearts to this but even with that, we are hardly aware of the extent to which God comes into our lives when we ask and seek. What I suggest is that the praying for this planet and these human beings has a very real and helpful effect.

What I understand now, is that what I saw can be considered what would have happened without prayer and meditations for the people and the area – without asking God’s help.   What did happen is *with* our prayers and meditations for the people and the area.

I think this means that the “3rd event” may have been changed somewhat, too. I’m not going to write about this, yet, because it’s several years away and I’ve got studying to do.

BTW, anything I see is available in the Akashic records for anyone to see. We are in the times where each of us may connect to God directly, through prayer, meditation, dreams, and ‘random acts of kindness, etc’ and get information directly. Practicing getting in touch with all these methods is the beginning of the journey of getting better at connecting directly with that Spirit of Infinite Kindness – God.

What I see from here on for the next few weeks in the Caribbean is still some minor earthquake activity. I see *potential* for a volcanic eruption but at much smaller level with A LOT LESS destructive impact than what I was seeing before. I’m going back down to yellow alert. It’s not finished, but it’s not where it was. After October 1, I see it becoming quiet again, until the spring, 2016, when I see one more possible destructive event in that area. I encourage anyone to continue to pray for the people of the area, and expand the prayers into the Pacific Rim. E.J. and others have reported a lot of Pacific Rim prayer targets for potential danger from natural disasters. Or better yet, pray for the entire planet. Where is there not a need for prayers in this Earth?

Finally, for some reason when I look at the center of the Gulf of Mexico, I’m seeing good sword-fishing and sail-fishing. If anyone goes fishing out there, let me know how you do.

Preparation

For those of you following these many months who live in the area which is currently in danger of this 2nd of 3 events happening, now is the time for preparations to take place.

Now is the time for gathering water, food, medical supplies, batteries, and all manner of supplies needed to face the several weeks ahead.

Help will be slow at first to arrive and get in place.  Not because of any lack of desire to help – there is none of that.  But, because of continued dangers and difficulties in getting all supplies to where they will be needed.

The worst hit of these will need a great deal of water.  There will be many who don’t prepare because they’re not aware of the need.  This is a time to help not just self, but your family, friends, neighbors, community members and anyone in need.

No one person will be expected or asked to carry the burden, but each one who prepares can help many others in the same way that our prayers go to help many more than just ourselves.

Medical needs will be high.  For those in the areas of the volcano, in the areas where ash will be present, do include any kind of breathing help.  The ash won’t last for weeks, but for days.    Again, I see the need for medical help being great.  That means that many people will be injured.  Whatever medicinal supplies can be gotten early will be helpful.

Don’t wait until after the different parts of the event starts. That is when all the supplies will be gone from stores.

Those who arrive bringing outside help will eventually make it, but remember, for many smaller islands and desolate areas – help will be slow in getting there.  The help will arrive at the most populated areas in order to help the most people as quickly as possible.

At this  point, I can only say, don’t wait to see if I’m accurate or if I’m wrong.  On Friday, August 14th, it will be too late.  There will be a run on supplies.

Anyone who feels called to post this anywhere is welcome to.  Anyone who has an article on any updates, you’re welcome to list them here.  Remember, I said the next few days will be mostly quiet before it hits.  I’m getting no information that I’m wrong – just the opposite.  Each time I look, I see it.

Finally, those in the area, it is possible to make it through this – like one makes it through hurricanes.  Keep an open mind and be wise in preparing.  Be alert to the volcanoes in the area, earthquakes contributing to the volcanic eruptions, and tsunami’s (whether tsunami’s are believable or not.)   Call on God for guidance through every moment.

*******

We are in this together.  We need to prepare for each other and support each other.   There are predictions and prophesies of this for a purpose.  That purpose is so that people will be helped and saved.  God is committed to life.  The well-being of each of our lives is part of this commitment. The greater awareness of God’s presence and involvement in our lives is an even greater part of this.  God seeks to help all of us in very real ways provided we answer His/Her call, open our hearts and minds, and let God indeed help.

There will be miracles – the miracles of lives being saved.  Although few can see it, the prayers we have been giving are in place helping now and continuing to help.

Don’t trust the doubt you have in yourself, others and God.  The doubt is not the truth.  Have faith in yourselves, have faith in others, and have faith in God.

For those in the closest areas, it will begin very loudly – not heard in all areas, but in the closest.  If you hear it, it has begun.  I think…. I think it will begin with a large earthquake on the 14th.  Possibly in the late afternoon or evening of the 14th.

Finally, if you feel I’m engendering fear, you’re right.  But, more important I want to engender what I believe is God’s wisdom and common sense – to engender preparation, courage, caution, openness, and willingness to help each other.  No one is alone in this.  No one.

While it may seem odd for me to say this, I see the Christ Spirit walking/working through and among/within those helping and needing help, serving to guide those helping.  Christ helps to the extent that we seek, are open to and invite Him.

I will finish this with saying, even now, our prayers can go to help lessen the impact and help people.  While I’ve seen all the different parts be spread out on the calendar in the past, there is no reason it can’t happen more.

God bless you and keep you.

Forgiveness and Mercy

When we extend forgiveness and mercy, the person receiving it is changed. Maybe this change is not in a way that we immediately notice, but the act of forgiveness and mercy cannot happen without our cooperating with the presence of God.

This presence of God touching another person in the form of forgiveness and mercy or any other fruit of the spirit, has an effect. Again, this effect isn’t necessarily something we’re going to consciously witness.  (While on Earth, it helps to let go of the need to witness our own efforts on behalf of another take root in that person.)

Need proof? We can take a look at our own life, and our own past lives. Who has extended forgiveness and mercy to us? When have we been touched by another’s bringing forth their connection to Infinite Forgiveness for our sake?  We can take a look at where we are in our spiritual path and our inner healing. We also have been forgiven and shown mercy – by One and/or by many. This has made an impact on our self, as well. We are the proof that being forgiven and being shown mercy have an effect on the soul receiving this forgiveness and mercy. We are where we are today because of forgiveness and mercy helping us to where we are. We are healing inwardly, because we have received forgiveness and been shown mercy.

Why is this all true? Because forgiveness and mercy are aspects of Love. All souls are affected by love. All life is affected by love.  Not in our own time requirements, but in God’s.  It may not be immediately noticeable to us how others are affected – the others which we haven’t yet forgiven or shown mercy to, but the source of Love and the receiver of Love notice it on their soul level.

When we’re deep in darkness, a small touch of forgiveness and mercy becomes a big thing. A seemingly small amount of kindness and light, shine out like beacons, when we’re steeped in the darkness we once created and chose. The touch of the hand of forgiveness and mercy becomes like a drink of clear water, when all we had before was sludge, (because all we gave to others was sludge.)

When we extend forgiveness and mercy, the one we extend it towards, in some way is helped, in some portion is healed, in some part is changed.

Imagine a world where everyone went around forgiving and giving mercy to everyone else. There would be a greater presence of Infinite Forgiveness and Infinite Mercy in the world. Everyone would be touched by the healing hand of Infinite Love.  As individuals, we can start creating this world, by forgiving and showing mercy to those who need forgiveness and mercy in our lives – those who desperately thirst for that clear glass of healing Infinite Water called Infinite Love.

“For Religious Reasons”

The phrase “For religious reasons” (or “protection”) is getting used by many. We hear of decisions and behaviors, and then hear these acts are done “for religious reasons.”

Christ tells of a story related to this and related to His comment, “Love your neighbor as yourself.”, when asked “Who is our neighbor?”

Luke 10:30 – And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbor unto him that fell among the thieves?

37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

The Samaritan didn’t act “for religious reasons” but showed mercy. The priest and Levite who passed the injured guy by, in effect were demonstrating actions taken “for religious reasons,” and chose not to help him.

Christ’s life wasn’t what it was “for religious reasons”. Christ’s life wasn’t about honoring “the religion”, or acting “for religious reasons”. His decisions and actions were regardless of “the religious reasons” because God (the source of mercy, forgiveness, Loving kindness, and understanding) is beyond religions. Religions are simply established ways of believing, which mankind has assembled together in hopes of learning ever more.

We humans go to war for religious reasons, and have done so for centuries if not millennium. Mankind has innumerable examples throughout recorded history of the willingness to kill one another for religious reasons. ISIL kills for religious reasons.

For centuries and millennium, people have been acting against one another “for religious reasons”. When we decide to act to separate ourselves from an act of good will or mercy, and instead act to protect our own sense of our religious beliefs, we are placing our own sense of our self before our neighbor’s well being. No one has ever been heard saying, “for reasons of compassion and oneness, I’m going to distance myself from helping another human being.”

When we decide to act “for religious reasons”, we’re not necessarily acting for the best reasons, sometimes we’re acting for the worst reasons as if we were to say, “God, it’s more important for me to go to heaven than for me to help someone else.” Religions are not higher than loving kindness, or patience, or understanding. Religions are not greater than God. Religions are meant to help us to come to know God.

We have even made religion a god, if that is possible to do. We have made our beliefs into our God – holding our beliefs to be more important than oneness and mercy towards our neighbor. Christ’s message all along has been that our Oneness with God is paramount and our Oneness with one another (our neighbor) is even more important than our beliefs.

By saying, ‘I’m choosing this for religious reasons,’ we’re not saying, ‘I’m doing this for forgiveness reasons.’ It’s not the same. I’ve never heard anyone who said “for religious reasons” also say, “I’m doing this for patience reasons, or reasons of loving kindness, or reasons of compassion or brotherhood.”

The actions of the Samaritan spoke loudly, “I’m doing this for reasons of compassion.”

Jesus chose to live his entire life, not “for religious reasons” but “for reasons of God’s Love”.

The Ukraine Crisis

“Hello, I would like to know how you see the Ukraine crisis developing in 2015 from a psychic point of view. It seems that Russian President Putin is volatile and dangerous. Also, we don’t know what are the plans of the US-government really are. Please tell us, if possible, your point of view. Thank you!” P.

I promise you’re not going to be satisfied with my point of view.  I could comment greatly on politics and such, but I’m not going to.  The people in the midst of the political situations are only repeating scenarios that have been played out hundreds of time during human history – history repeating itself.  The only difference is that the names have changed and the locations have changed.  But, the scenarios are the same.

Politics, as we see today in our world, will come and go, like all the other political situations that have come and gone.  Empires will rise and fall as usual.  Therefore my response to you is as I’ve said many times in this blog.

Christ spoke to Peter when he asked the same question – “What about those other people?” Christ’s response was this, “You don’t worry about them.  I’ll worry about them.  You follow me.”

This response speaks volumes to those who would try to understand it’s implications.  What he is saying is this, ‘I know all about all that is happening.  You do not, and you don’t understand what I understand.  You follow the example I’ve given you and deal with what is in front of you.’

Our purpose on this Earth is to address aspects of our self – to change our responses to life’s experiences – to bring forth patience, understanding, hope, kindness, forgiveness, mercy, love, and all Fruits of the Spirit instead of hatred, prejudice, violence, vengeance, etc.  In bringing the Fruits of the Spirit forth, we are bringing forth the Consciousness of God into the Earth.  Bringing forth the Consciousness of God through our hearts is what changes all life on the planet – and for the better.

Politics’ purpose is to further the status quo.  Bringing forth the Consciousness of God via the Spirit that exists within the heart-felt acts of kindness, mercy, patience, etc, furthers the growth and evolution of humanity.

The issue isn’t “what is happening with President Putin and the Ukraine?”  The issue is “what is happening within your and my hearts and minds.”  If nothing is happening within your and my hearts, then it doesn’t matter what happens in Russia and the Ukraine, no evolution will happen in the Earth from anything done there.  However, if we do our inner work within our own hearts and minds, then it doesn’t matter what happens in Russia and the Ukraine, because the evolution of humanity has begun in the Earth and won’t be stopped not even in Russia and the Ukraine.  When we do our inner work on ourselves within our own hearts and minds, the Consciousness of God is present with us.

What will happen in the Ukraine?  The same thing that happened when this scenario played out all the other times in human history.  Except today, we have the opportunity to pray for all soul’s and all life involved with these events.

Those souls that are prayed for have God in their presence more than those not prayed for.  And if our prayers are for all life and all souls involved with these events, then all of them will have God’s presence more than if they were not prayed for.  With God’s presence ever growing stronger in the lives of people prayed for, as well as the Earth as a whole, then perhaps history won’t repeat itself.

Holding Our Beliefs

What we believe about life – the different beliefs we have about the different parts of life – are exactly that – beliefs. Just because we believe something doesn’t in any way make it true – it just makes it what we believe.  Likewise, just because we don’t believe something doesn’t mean it’s not true. Beliefs, the same as others’ and different than others’, exist in our life and in amongst people of the Earth whose numbers are in the billions. We carry thousands of beliefs with us every day. Our learning involves letting go of many beliefs in exchange for other beliefs and for greater understanding and realizations.

We struggle to hold onto our beliefs, and sometimes need great and painful experiences to break them free of our hold upon them. We easily can look across society that we live in and see beliefs that we held that are crumbling for some, which others hold onto still with seemingly iron grips.  (It’s always easier to see this with others rather than ourselves, isn’t it.)

For ourselves we can take the steps to ask – What do we still believe that is challenged/questioned by ourselves or others? Is there a greater understanding that is trying to break through the cement of our mind like a flower that tries to break through asphalt in a  driveway?

Racism, sexism, all the -isms are just beliefs that we held onto, which took great pain and suffering to break up within our consciousnesses.  Prejudices of many kinds and across all differences are simply – beliefs.  Today, we still have some of these -isms and prejudices in our beliefs.

And still, we all have beliefs that we will hold onto. Like the belief that we’ve already learned the lessons of life and don’t need to learn anything else.  A lot of us have this one.

Why do we have such trouble with letting go of beliefs?  One of the many reasons is because our beliefs are about who we think we, ourselves, are as a person. We are invested in our own view of ourselves.  We “believe” that we will be either rewarded or punished in some form or fashion, based on our self-view and our self-view is based on beliefs.

We also have a huge number of beliefs about love.  We believe that we’ll be loved more if we’re one way or another.  How many times have we believed that we’d be loved more if we were prettier or richer or thinner or younger or had different body shapes or any number of other circumstances of which we aren’t?

In addition, we believe that we’ll be able to love someone else more if that someone else is some different way or another.  We’ve also told ourselves this belief.  “I would love him/her more if only they were more X, Y or Z. ”  This belief is so common and we’ve all held this belief.

Beliefs are chosen of our own freewill – regularly.  We choose the beliefs we believe.  And the beliefs we choose are as transient as life is.  Our different beliefs come and go.  Sometimes, we are completely unaware that we’ve believed one way at one point and another way at another point.  Sometimes we’re unaware that we’ve changed beliefs during the same day.  No person has the same beliefs they had when they were children and no adult will keep all the beliefs they have during their entire lifetime as an adult.  With having thousands and maybe even millions of beliefs throughout our life, we’re going to do some changing and we won’t even notice.  This is another reason why Christ never condemned anyone’s religions or beliefs.  He criticized the espousing of beliefs without living by them.  He criticized hypocrisy.

This is also why the greatest issue isn’t what we believe, but rather what we motivate ourselves to do with our beliefs.  Do we choose beliefs for the purpose of bringing forth cooperation and unity?  Or do we choose our beliefs to raise ourselves up and put others down?  Do we believe what we believe to help heal and support others or rather to criticize others and point out their faults?   Do we believe as we do to bring forth our love, or to bring forth our hate?  If it’s not one, it’s the other.

You can be assured that while we may not always know the answer to these questions – others who witness how we live our life, others who know us, and who observe us and observe how we live related to our beliefs – they definitely know what we do with our beliefs, don’t they.  Our actions speak volumes on what we really believe vs what we tell ourselves that we believe.

Remember, the beliefs that we speak but don’t live will be gone as soon as we close the door behind us, and the beliefs that we live our life by, will teach us great things.   Just keep an open mind so that you can  recognize the time to change what you believe when the time comes.  And believe me – that time will come.

PS. One side note:  Look at how much misinformation is out in the world.  Are you immune to misinformation?  And the misinformation that has been happening for centuries and millennium?  Do you believe human beings today only finally discern everything that is true and everything that is not true?

It matters more what we do with our beliefs – how we live our life with the beliefs we have – than the details of what we believe.

Right or Wrong?

There is only one life we live on this Earth, God gave us one life to live for his Glory. Heaven and Hell are real places and the place one goes to depends weather the choice is made to accept Jesus Christ as a Savior for the sins we made..This is the truth and whoever reads this, please, invite Jesus into your hearts, repent from your sins, this is the only way to go to heaven. It is heartbreaking to see how many people are confused and lied to by Satan that there are many lives to live..nowhere in a Bible does it state that and there are few clear statements that we live ONLY ONE life. Please Jodie, I am praying for you and all people out there in the name of Jesus Christ to flee from these “many lives we live” deceiving theories. In Jesus Almighty name! A

Christ never condemned anyone for having different beliefs – not the Samaritans, not the Gentiles, and not the Romans, and they all had different beliefs. He condemned those who are hypocritical – acting differently than the beliefs they espouse.  This is what we need to watch for within ourselves and our actions.

Christ’s message was to all people and His commandments were – Love God above all else, and Love your neighbor as yourself.

With 7 billion going on 8 billion people on the planet, there are also 7 billion going on 8 billion unique and different belief systems. No two of us believe exactly 100% alike. Everyone of us has our own spin on our beliefs and rightly so – because there are no two of us exactly 100% alike, no matter how close we are.

For me, having studied the Bible, also, including the Gospels, I find Christ’s message not the message of separation based on different beliefs. I find Christ’s message of Love to include this: The most important part of beliefs is not what we believe, but what our beliefs motivate us to do in how we relate to other people. Do our beliefs move us to criticize and condemn others, or do our beliefs create room in this world for differences of all kinds? Do our beliefs motivate us to bring people together on common ground, or do our beliefs move us to separate out those who are different and judge them for their differences? Do our beliefs move us to strike out at others out of judgement of these differences or do our beliefs help us to embrace even others who are completely different? Do our beliefs move us to tell others “I’m right and your wrong,” or do they move us to look for the unique aspects that everyone has within them, in order to contribute to the whole of mankind?

All religions have followers who use their religious beliefs to justify prejudice, fear, condemnation, criticism, hatred, killing, war and the like. But, all religions also have followers who use their religious beliefs to strengthen their love for one another, their effort at cooperation, their striving to be kind, compassionate and understanding, and their desire to have love be at the center of their relationships and connections with every other soul.

In our world today, we see so many espouse togetherness, but with the caveat that the togetherness has to be according to “how I, and not you, see the world” rather than “let’s find common ground and work from there.” We see many people all over the globe that are ready for any others to convert and be like them. But, what Christ lived and demonstrated was that God’s Infinite Mind and Heart has room (many mansions) for all souls who seek to love. Christ teaches even today that with God, all things are possible, including all the different ways of believing.  Yet, with God and Love being One, this possibility of all things – the inclusion of the different ways of believing – can only be done when Love is present. With God/Love, all things, including living and cooperating in a world holding different beliefs, are possible.

Christ teaches that if we ask for the Truth, God will answer our request without tricks or deception. Christ also teaches that we can have a direct connection to God, and do not need to take on any other person’s beliefs through another person’s mind and understanding – we can build our own beliefs.

Finally, many of us have studied and read the Bible and have found reincarnation all over the place in it. However, it is absolutely and equally true that one does not need to believe in reincarnation to follow Christ, especially when Christ main message is “Love God above all else, and Love your neighbor as yourself.” To follow Christ one needs to live this love, practicing it even with those that believe differently.

There can be room for differences of beliefs, but only when one is willing to allow room for differences.  The more open and willing we are, the more God can come in.  This is what I believe and this is what I will work at living at, in order to make this alive inside of me, and to make it real in the world, one day at a time, with God’s help.

God Bless Us,

Everyone.

PS.  None of us can say we know all there is to know about God, Christ, Life and Death, Heaven and Hell.  None of us can say we know all there is to know about the Truth.  Not if we’re being truthful.  We do the best we can at understanding all the above and determine our beliefs from what we can understand.  This is why so many of us have different beliefs, because we have different experiences, levels, and ways of understanding.

When we say “Only this is true or only that is true” then we have stopped our learning and closed ourselves down to more of what God would teach us.  When we allow ourselves to entertain different ideas and different ways of thinking, considering how they could fit with our current understanding, then God will find a way to help us learn more about all the above, which includes our relationship to Christ, our relationship to God, and our relationships with each other.

Elections Results

Regardless of whether our candidates won or lost, it’s helpful to remember that it’s not who is in political power who will save or destroy our lives, our country, our anything.

It is who is in spiritual power that will have the greatest and most lasting effect on our lives.

Many people think political power is the ultimate power, because they think it is connected to the power over people’s lives and the power of controlling money, but this power is an illusion compared to real power.  Real power is so far beyond anything called “political power.”

Political power can affect a small section of a person’s life, but Spiritual power affects a soul’s life after life after life, staying with the soul for all eternity.

This is the power that lasts.  Political power is like playing with Legos during an afternoon.  Spiritual power is the thing that the foundation of eternity is built upon.  No politician playing with money and people’s lives can build a foundation of eternity.

Politicians can affect one life, for sure, but God affects the entire evolution of that person and their soul growth in ways that are beyond what many people can even imagination.

Do not look to politicians to bring good for all the world.  God does more good than any politician ever could.  Now, this doesn’t mean that there are no people elected that help others.  There are a few “Public Servants” who are elected, but they are a small minority.  Fortunately, they have what it takes to help some.

Sadly, we haven’t seen too many politicians who have made good public servants.

Me? I vote for Christ, because I believe He can help us more than anyone else can.

Prayer Without Words

Prayer Without Words is not just symbolic or metaphorical.  It is a very real act.  Praying without using words, isn’t empty.    It’s also not the act of using images or thinking thoughts.   If anyone is sincere in their prayers, but uses words to make up the body of the prayer, then they can also pray without the use of words.

Guide for how to pray without words.

To proceed in practicing this method of praying:

As we pray with sincerity – as we pray our normal way of praying, we usually have both words and feelings.  We especially have both when we pray for someone we love who is suffering or in need.  It is these prayers which come from our heart and it is the heart that is at the core of the Prayer Without Words.

If we find we’ve relied so much on words, that we’ve forgotten to add our heart, then we may have a little difficulty.  But, try anyway.

We begin by praying one’s normal prayer, for example, The Lord’s Prayer or any other prayer that  is meaningful to us.  In praying this with sincerity, we are talking to God, not reciting to Him.  Go ahead, talk to Him.  Then, as we’re talking to Him, we let go of wondering whether we’re doing any good.  We simply talk to Him through our words.  We talk to Him, letting our hearts be a part of the contact.

If we need to change the words of the prayer to make it real for ourselves, then go ahead.

Then, when we’re in the middle of the prayer, stop speaking – stop thinking the words – leave “words” behind, but continue to pray.  Keep going.  Don’t judge or critique anything.  Continue the heart in prayer, but don’t use words.  Don’t analyze either, and just continue the heart in prayer.

I will not add my comments to what the experience will or won’t be for anyone.  But, a word to the wise, if ever our heart is not in it, then we are not really praying.

I’ve found for myself, that occasionally a word or 3 may still come forth wanting to be expressed.  When so, I’ve expressed them.

The two types of prayer – with and without words are both different from each other yet still hold similar aspects.  Both have their purpose.

‘The Horrible News’ or ‘How to Save a Planet’

A friend asks, “What do we do with all the horrible news?”  I’m going to consider this a question about the news we hear around the world on the television, the news we read about in newspapers and on the Internet – news about wars, governments, disasters, pain, suffering, suicides, etc., and etc, and etc.

First, I will absolutely agree with anyone who says it can be and is overwhelming.  It is frustrating to hear all this news.  It is discouraging, sometimes bringing us to grief and despair even wondering how this world can be so full of insanity and horrors.  It can and does move us to feel sorrow for human beings, including ourselves.  It brings forth our pain, and can bring us to feel depressed, afraid, ever doubtful, and wondering if we should give up at even trying to offer some help.   After all, how can one person even make a dent in the insanity and horrors that is reported in the news every day.

If you feel anything like these feelings, just know you’re not alone.  Being on a planet where all these things happen, generating all these feelings is a most truly difficult and challenging thing.  Many of us succumb to the shear weight of the sorrow, pain, suffering, insanity and daily news.

However,…

I know of no soul that came into this planet that did not come with a purpose – the purpose of moving forward in their soul’s growth.   Yet, it is not difficult to lose being on the path of one’s soul’s growth.  All we have to do is think of our own benefit and well-being as being more important than anyone else’s.  All we have to do to get off our path is be selfish and putting our self first.  See?  That’s how easy it is.

And we’ve all done it.  We’ve all acted selfishly in small ways and sometimes in great huge ways.  If you doubt that you’ve ever done anything on the same level that you see on the news, then just look at your past lives.  Don’t remember them?  Guess why.

How do we get back on the path?  This is the challenge of any of the souls that want to move ourselves, our species, and our planet forward.

We start with prayer and meditation.  Or we can start with prayer by itself.  Or we can start with meditation by itself.  In both of these, we send out our call to God to help the life/lives on this planet.  Why start this way?  Because, to save a planet, we need unity and purpose.  We need guidance and love.  We need fortitude and persistence.  We get all of this and more when God is involved with us, and the One called on to help us.

When we hear the news stories, not that many people use it as a call to prayer, but that’s what it is.  We are being told of who needs our prayers and who needs Light sent to them.

Sure, everyone around the globe needs prayers and everyone around the globe needs Light and energy sent to them.   But, I caution anyone to think that they and they alone are the ones to save those poor souls.

Remember, souls are here to work on ourselves, and we have many lifetimes to grow, learn and work on ourselves.  We have been given freewill and we use it many times to decide to not grow, not learn and not work on ourselves.  These are decisions that humans make.  And we see the result of these decisions impacts in the world.  However, at the same time, we can and do also see the results of when we, (of our own freewill) choose to learn, to grow, to work on ourselves – to be kind to someone, to forgive someone, to be patient with someone, to be more understanding of someone, to show mercy to someone.

It is unfortunate that we don’t yet have news casts that report on where our prayers have helped.  No newscaster reports, “The prayers of last week helped the country of …. when they had to face ….”  Maybe one day.

For anyone who is willing, we are here to strive, to dig in, to bring forth that Light that helps to change whole planets.  We are here to do that which we are doing – bring forth change.  And we do that by changing ourselves, first.   We do this by leaning on each other.  We do this by needing each other.  We do this by helping each other.  We are not here to coast or tread water, or to sleep away the life we live.  We – a certain number of us – have chosen to go forward – to wake up – and not go back to sleep.

We do this all within the context of cooperating with God, because in truth, it is the Spirit of Infinite Love that we have inside our hearts – sometimes without remember this.  It is the Spirit of Infinite Forgiveness that helps us to see beyond anyone’s actions to them still being a soul that needs help in some way.  It is in the Spirit of Infinite Patience that helps us to wake up in the morning and start thinking, “What can I do on this one day that may help one person?”  Maybe, we’ll say the prayer, “God, help me remember you, today.  Help me remember Love, today.  Help me remember kindness, today.  Help me remember who I am, today.  Today, God, help me remember that I love.”

Through this, we move forward one day at a time.  It has always been thus, and it will always be thus.  And it won’t all happen in one lifetime.

So, to answer the question, “What do we do with all the horrible news?” – perhaps it is a call for prayers – prayers like, “God, what can I do to help You with Your work of Loving?”

Prejudice of Ages

How silly humanity in general has been with so many years of prejudice against people involved in interracial marriages, same sex marriages, cross-cultural marriages, mixed political marriages, this or that marriage, and on and on and on.

Unlearning prejudice found in any human experience or human arena is a slow process.  The prejudices come from learned fears, from desire to fit in, from the desire to be loved and approved from those who are supposed to love us, and from our own past life experiences with different races and subcultures – whether those past experiences are cooperative or combative.

Many, many, many, many times, the prejudice and hatred comes from past life connections where there are still grudges and resentments towards a particular group or people.  Acts like “raids on groups”, raiding, pillaging and killing in wars, make for many prejudices.  All races and groups have been targeted at some time in some way, and many different groups have been slaves or bought and sold. Sometimes, in human history all that was required to be enslaved was to be defeated in battle.

Many groups have been perceived as second class, lower class, or lower caste, and these experiences sometimes are hard to go through.  Still others use these experiences to justify their vendetas, grudges or resentments or even to build new ones.

So, it will take time for prejudice to heal.  Since it can come from very real damage and harm done to each other in the past.  And each person will have to resolve it in their own time within their own heart, mind and soul.  Do you think?  This is also a contributing factor in the Middle Eastern conflicts and in the attack of 9-11.

What is interesting is that there is no one on this planet that has NOT experienced being on the receiving end of prejudice.  Everyone has, whether based on race, religion, gender, financial situation, spiritual belief, disability, weight, physical features, ethnicity, sexual preference, sometimes their job, etc.  And I say this regardless of whether we may see how that possibly could be true “for that other person over there who looks way better off than I am.” (Having this thought is a symptom of prejudice.)

I can go into a room of any number of people and show you how each person has been singled out in at least 3 different ways, just by being who they are.  Women, men, black, white, brown, red, Hispanic, Asian, European, Native American, Christians, Jews, Muslims, tall, short, small, large – no group has been free from being on the receiving end of hatred, disrespect, fear, attack, ridicule, different types of abuse and the like because of their group – even psychics.  Yes, there are groups that have predominately received recent prejudice, but all groups of peoples and different subcultures have received it at some time in the past, and even now in the present.

Prejudice has been the source of much human pain and suffering.  Pain and suffering is something that no human ever escapes.  Jesus Christ didn’t escape pain and suffering then or now, and Robin Williams didn’t escape pain and suffering, either.  Pray for all who suffer – whether on this side of the veil or the other.  When we are in pain and suffering, we tend to strike out at whomever we think is the cause.  This is the birth of prejudice.  Pray for all who are in pain.

Demons?

So are you seeing the demons coming out of hell? [From a comment in the “Tribulation…” article]

Be warned.  You’re not going to like my answer.  It’s not the answer you’re wanting.  But, it is the answer that will be presented here.

God calls no soul “demon”.  All beings/souls are equally seen and truly loved by God.  The “demons” you and so many of us are really afraid of are the demons within ourselves that we’ve done nothing to change or heal.  It is these inner demons that we’ve used as a channel to inflict pain and suffering onto others in the past and present – whether in this life and remembered, or in past lives and forgotten.

Change the demons within one’s self through effort, willingness, study, forgiveness and letting go of judgement and in time, you, too, could find yourself no longer calling God’s creations/children, “demons” – whether they are incarnated into a body or not incarnated into a body.

When we’ve faced our own demons, how we see others – including those we’ve labeled with insulting names – will change.

The Edgar Cayce Readings state, “There is good in the worst of us, and there is bad in the best of us.”

Have you ever been labeled with an insulting name by someone else who sees you as “bad” through their negative and hurtful lens?  They may see you as a demon.  If anyone has received insults, it then behooves us to ask ourselves if we’re sure we want to look at other souls, spirits, entities of any kind negatively as being demons, when, at the same time, we haven’t done anything to change the demons we have inside of ourselves.

There are many in the world that are willing to label other life forms or souls, both incarnate and discarnate, with insulting names, and they have been willing through all ages.  If any of us chooses to be one of these many that insults others, then remember, an unwillingness to change the demons within on anyone’s part, points to a continued willingness and desire within to inflict pain and suffering onto others.

******

“When we insult God’s creations, we’re insulting God.”

“All of us have lapses in our willingness to change ourselves.  It helps to remember that we can get up, dust ourselves off and get back into the ‘transformation through forgiveness’ game.”
