Question of 8-2-2014: The Rapture

What do you mean by this? “I do not see it as a literal event on the planet Earth. But, I do see it as a personal experience awaiting those who seek to open to greater awareness of one’s relationship to God, oneself and others.” C. (See the comments of “Prayer, Meditation, Edgar Cayce and Hurricanes” for the subject matter topic.)

Everyone on Earth has different beliefs.  This is because everyone is different.  No two lives are the same and no experience means the same thing to any two people.  You’re beliefs are yours, which you’ve developed throughout your life.  In addition to that, you don’t have the same beliefs that you had when you were 6 years old or any other age, and you will adjust or change beliefs as you continue to live your life.  You have already and you will continue.  This is the way life is for everyone.

So…I mean that when I look psychically, I do not see this event, as believed and defined by people holding this set of beliefs, to occur on the planet Earth in the form that is readily believed and defined by those people holding to these beliefs.  I see a continuation of life on Earth for generations and generations with the normal human need for learning and growth carrying on.

I see the continuation of life on Earth for generations so as to allow even greater opportunities to open both minds and hearts to an ever expanding awareness of the “world in which we live.”  I see a continuation of the social, spiritual, community, and mental and emotional evolutions in the same way that mankind has been growing and evolving for centuries and centuries.  I also see a God with Infinite Patience for all of us.  I see God’s Infinite Patience being a foundation for His helping us to grow in our awareness of the true relationship we have with each other and Him.

Finally, I see what many term “The Rapture” as being a decidedly inner experience and not a physical experience.  I see this being a consciousness experience happening on one’s own road to greater awareness of one’s self and one’s relationship to God and all life.  It is an experience that happens at the “individual” level, because every individual is different and in a different place on their path to greater awareness.  And in this definition, I reiterate that there are no shortcuts to greater awareness of our relationship to God, to one another and all life.  The “Rapture” does not release anyone from the inner work of healing all these relationships.  This must be done.  This inner work is the work of forgiveness, mercy, loving kindness, patience, tolerance, understanding, etc. and etc.

This is what I mean.   I hope this helps.

Prayer, Meditation, Edgar Cayce and Hurricanes

While Edgar Cayce himself participated in drilling for oil in the 1920′s, and the readings tried to help him, he didn’t succeed at that particular time.  The readings considered the venture worth pursuing, though. However, what he did succeed in at that time, and during his life, was help people to learn the power and influence of meditation and prayer.

We can see this now as being a powerful force to help in facing disasters here on Earth.  In my own work, I was able to psychically see that after Hurricane Katrina, the outpouring of prayers for the entire Gulf Region – the outpouring of prayers coming from across the country – brought forth the Christ Spirit to protect the Gulf during the entire 2006 hurricane season and 1/2 of the 2007 hurricane season.  While meteorologists were baffled, expecting a great many hurricanes, it was a quiet season and they didn’t know why.  I did.

Skeptics could have a field day with this vision I describe.  But, it brings us face to face with the challenge.  Do we believe in prayer and meditation or not?  Do we believe prayer can change things in this world?  Do we believe the power of thousands and even millions praying and meditating can change the future, change the Earth, and change situations for the better?

What about the questions, “What are we thinking that will happen that will let us know that our prayers have been answered? How will it appear?  Will there be signs in the sky telling us, ‘Your prayer has been answered from XYZ happening to ABC happening’?”

I don’t think so.  Who else saw or even considered that it was the prayers of the many that resolved the 2006 hurricane season?  But, if we believe that prayer and meditation can change things, then we are going to have to expect things to not happen as they may be expected.  And we may not fully be aware that we did in fact change the future with our prayers and meditations.

Edgar Cayce and the readings spoke often of the power of God.  The readings speak of Christ and His current and continuous involvement in our lives.  Books abound about personal contact with Jesus Christ and other spiritual beings.  All of these describe a very active involvement by the Divine with our personal and collective lives.  And so, we have to decide if we believe in prayer and meditation or not, because prayer and meditation are practices that can make direct contact with the Divine.   Edgar Cayce’s readings are clear about this over and over again.

Many believe it is important to pray and meditate but yet expect nothing to come from it.   That’s like playing the lottery, but throwing  the ticket away in the trash, the same moment we buy it.  Putting effort forth, but expecting nothing from that effort.

I think I remember E.C.’s readings saying, (someone may have to help me with the reading number)  “Expect much, you’ll gain much.  Expect little and you won’t be disappointed.”

I think this is telling us that God is eager to be an active participant in creating this world that we live in, and affecting our lives in a healing and supportive way.  But, God won’t take away our freewill to choose to bolt and lock the door before He enters, when we’ve just finished inviting Him in.

What I tell people is something that I’ve come to realized for myself from reading and studying the Edgar Cayce readings.  I don’t know if it’s specifically in the  readings, but the readings have helped me to be aware of this.

Don’t trust the doubt we have in God.  Don’t trust the doubt we have in ourselves, our prayers, or our meditations.  Doubt is not truth.  We may have it but it’s not true and need not be trusted.  God’s readiness to be active in our lives is the truth.

In praying for any disaster anywhere, right now, let’s not tell God what He is capable of or not capable of.   Let’s ask Him to show us.  Studying the readings have helped me to believe that God rejoices in the opportunities to show us what He can do.  A new paradigm is being created on this planet – by God – through us and with us.  Through our prayers and meditations, we can participate in this new paradigm in ways we could never have come up with by ourselves.  But, God won’t do it without us if we decide to not participate.

And on the higher side….

Sometimes, what I add via the blogs can be so heavy.  It’s certainly a time of some serious s*#t.  But, at the same time, I want to remind everyone of the true and real progress that we continue with.  We may not always see it, but as my friend, Nancy K. regularly reminds me, the efforts we put forth join with the efforts of others and on and on, and move the entire planet forward to ever increasing greater and higher vibrations and spiritual awareness.

Oh, sure, we also see “low vibration” activities – destruction, hatred, prejudice, greed, violence – so many ways to create non-love based experiences for people and the Earth.  And these we will see more of, but there is no failure for those who are determined to succeed – and use patience and persistence to succeed – keep on keeping on – take it one day at a time, keep putting one foot forward, take one more step, and every other cliche I can remember along these same lines.

The entire Galaxy is supporting our efforts to raise the vibrations of this planet.  And other Galaxies besides ours are sending us their support and high vibrations.  What we can do is to put into action, the type of action that we want a high-vibration planet to be about.  The Earth is as we create it – collectively.  Put another way, the Earth is as we heal it.

We’re All in This Together.

We are in this together.

There are times ahead – it will take several decades, and gradually grow – when there will be suffering around the world on such a scale that equals the 1930’s – centered on poverty, the economy, and food.  We have faced problems of all sorts in the passing times and half times (decades).  Everyone alive today has seen difficulties.  I’ve mentioned in past blogs, that the 2030’s will remind many of the 1930’s in the sense of there being hardships on many, many people.

We will be a planet of 8 billion people and growing.  This is not that far away.  Those in 1st grade today will be in their 20’s.  Those in high school today will be in their 30’s.  Those graduating from college today will have their children nearly grown up.

I’m seeing this as the road we’re going down.  However, as is mentioned in the Edgar Cayce readings, “If all things stay the same, this will happen.”  In the past, we’ve made sure things have not stayed the same – we prayed, we learned to meditate, we acted with kindness, compassion, tolerance and more.  We sought to help those that need help.  We acted to bring out the best from within our hearts.

If we continue to choose prayer, meditation, forgiveness, understanding, mercy, kindness, patience with the other person, we will diminish the suffering according to the numbers of those who do seek the higher road of Love, forgiveness, mercy, and patience.  As we walk a path of effort, one day at a time, one hair at a time – of study, of listening within, of praying for guidance, of trying our best, and of picking ourselves up when we fail miserably, – one day at a time – we heal, we move forward and we create a better Earth.

Past successes when we’ve changed the future:
1. Our efforts towards spiritual growth through the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s has changed Edgar Cayce’s predictions of potential 1998 horrors (which otherwise would have happen as predicted) and lessened the destructive energy which would have otherwise fulfilled his predictions.

2. Shrunk Edgar Cayce’s prediction for New York from complete New York City city-wide destruction to what we experienced on 9-11-2001.

3. Spread out Edgar Cayce’s earth wide destructive predictions to make it possible for greater numbers to survive the physical devastations by spreading the energy out over longer time periods.

4. Changed the 2006 hurricane season for the Gulf of Mexico because of the prayers of millions – from many hurricanes to one of the quietest seasons on record baffling the meteorologists studying hurricanes.

Remember three things:
We’re all in this together.
With God, all things are possible.
“Faith unused, does nothing.” (Rainbow Cards, ©, 2000, Jodie Senkyrik)

And finally, the Bible tells us the prayers of a few will save many.  I add to that, the efforts we put forth today will save many tomorrow… and the next day.  The efforts today are the foundations for the accomplishments tomorrow.  We truly are all in this together.

Question about the Ukraine

Now that things are heating up in the Ukraine, what do you see as the outcome of all this? Will it escalate into something bigger?

Remember, Lisa, when humans are involved, things can get very messy.  When God is involved, things can get cleaned up.

There are so many souls in the Ukraine region and associated with dealing with this region (many that aren’t physically in the region) that are wanting to add their voices to how things should be worked out.  The effort is meant to be diplomatic, but military force is what many use in their tool chest, and call it “a tool of diplomacy.”

The Ukraine will be a hot area on into the end of this decade, when a quiet time will be in place.  The quiet time only will hide the dissatisfaction with the solutions put in place, but will not be a real solution.  In the next decade, 2020’s the next round of “heat” will come forth.

I add that the issue here isn’t whether this is a hotly debated area, or a hotbed of struggle, or whether war will break out – even though these are important issues.  The issue here is that there is potential for effort and real work to come forth in this area.  This “effort and real work” includes work that all of us can do – praying for this region.  This is not just for us to observe, but rather contribute or help in whatever way we are willing.  They are struggling to find a peace for their lives.  Our prayers can help them.

Logic and God

Logic and debates can never prove the existence or non-existence of God.  The foundation of an experience of God is not a “mind” experience and will never be a “mind” experience.  God exists centered in the heart, and is only recognized through the heart.

Looking at it metaphysically, we can offer the same argument put forth about Love.  How do we prove Love?  This is an equally valid question when asked to prove the existence of God.

The experience of Love is an inner experience.  It is subjective, confusing, a struggle and full of questions.  But, when the day comes that we know that we love someone or someones, we know it from a place of “knowing” from which we alone can be sure. No one else in the world can experience our love for another from inside of us.  No one else in the world can experience our love for another in any way, except from outside of us looking in.

The experience of God is exactly like that.  We experience God solely within ourselves – and only we, our self, are witness to this inner experience.  In truth, no one can have an experience of God through someone else’s mind, someone else’s heart, and someone else’s soul.

Ultimately, the decisions we have related to God’s existence, are for each individual alone to address.  But, it needs to be this way.  The decisions and questions related to a belief or experience of God are the decisions and questions of “Willingness.”  Only in our own hearts do we decide what we are willing to do in our life – what we’re willing to think, willing to feel, willing to believe, and willing to …. everything else.  In the same way, only within our own selves do we decide what we’re willing to not think, not feel, not believe, and not…. everything else.

This is why logic isn’t what convinces anyone to love another, and logic isn’t what convinces anyone to believe in God.

How do we know?

Hi Jodie! I wasn’t sure where to ask my question, so I thought I would put it here, hehe.. I “stumbled” across your page awhile ago, looking for information one day about Edgar Cayce and Atlantis and I found you! :D I really enjoy reading your entries and find myself reading and re-reading everything you have here.. Love it! So, the other day I was talking to a friend and was a bit conflicted. He mentioned that not once does “Jesus” get mentioned when referencing the “New Age movement”.. In that, he doesn’t know who is behind these notions of lets say, Law of Attraction, or Living in the Now, etc. etc. So, I was a bit conflicted by that because he used to be all about researching Osho and everything that he lumps into “New Age” now, which includes channeling (the Seth readings, Abraham-Hicks, Bashar via Darryl Anka, etc.), crystals, psychic readings, etc. etc. So, I guess my question is, how do we know what is right and what is wrong? If reading these books, researching about law of attraction, etc. is “evil” and not information that is of Jesus and the church, but we are learning about it with good and pure intentions, does that still put us in the wrong? Will we not be “saved”? Honestly, I don’t know much about religion, but feel like the information out there about this so called “New Age Stuff” is positive and I wanted to see what your take on it was.. I might sound naive and I hope I don’t offend anyone, but it made me question my “faith” and I have always thought I was in the right (but his views made me question myself, which scared me).  (VanessaM)

I’m almost jokingly tempted to write, “Yes, Vanessa, there is a Jesus in what you are learning about.”  But, I won’t.

You’re questions are good questions to ask.  To answer them, go back to much of what Jesus said at different times.

I’ll preface all of this with the statements that like any system of beliefs, what is called “New Age Thought”, is many times used to lump so many different beliefs under one name.  Since that is what we have to work with, I’ll go with it, even though some of the beliefs of the “New Age” have been around longer than many versions of today’s religions.

Let’s take a look at Jesus’ ministry.  During that time, his message was overwhelmingly about how we behave towards one another.  There is no mistaking this.  The first two commandments he gave were about love.  Love God above all else, and Love your neighbor as yourself.  His admonition to know who was a follower of His, was along the same lines, when he directed that we will know one another by our demonstration of the Fruits of the Spirit – the fruits being loving kindness, mercy, patience, charity, brotherhood, compassion, cooperation, forgiveness, understanding, faith, and more.

At the same time, I’ll mention that Jesus did not condemn other religions – he condemned hypocrisy and self-serving agendas.  Even though he walked among the Romans, he never condemned the Romans or that they had different beliefs.  In fact, John, the Baptist, also didn’t condemn the Roman’s beliefs, but instead said to the Romans, to be honest in their dealings as Romans.  John did condemn some actions which were also self-serving.

We can look at every religion, and hold to the same questions that you have.  How do we tell who is sincere in their following God?  The answer I adhere to is whether they practice what they preach.  If we want to label one religion as the only right one, or any religion over any other, then I think we”re missing Jesus’ message – that the main question we need to ask ourselves isn’t about what we believe, as it is what we do with our beliefs.  Do we use our beliefs to bring brotherhood, harmony, kindness, forgiveness, mercy or understanding in dealing with the people in our lives?  Or do we use our believes as weapons against others, bringing separation, condemnation or hatred into ours and others lives?  Do we use our beliefs to unite one another, sowing peace instead of war, or do we use our beliefs to go to war, attacking others in some way?

For the most part, every religion I can think of has the ability to bring more peace to this world, but every religion also gets used to bring war into this world.

That which we believe lies inside the mind and is a belief system (called a paradigm,) but how we live, demonstrate and activate our beliefs, comes from the heart.  If we hold forgiveness, patience, kindness in our heart, our beliefs are in line with the one who said “Love one another, as I have loved you.”  However, if we choose to hold criticism, bitterness, resentment, hatred, vengeance, prejudice, contention or separation, in our hearts, no paradigm of beliefs will ever counter that using any rationality or logic.  Our life simply will not be one of Love.

Like every religion or any other way of believing – whether it be science, math, psychology, philosophy, politics or anything – they all have adherents who go both ways with regards to their hearts, and therefore their beliefs.  Those who wish to use any of these beliefs to serve their own judgements and condemnations, supporting their own agendas will find ways to do that within the paradigm/belief system they’ve chosen.  Those who wish to use any of these beliefs to love more, support brother and sisterhood, be more forgiving, understanding, or kind, also will find ways to do that within their own paradigm/belief systems.

As it is said, “God seeks mercy, not sacrifice.”  We don’t need to sacrifice any belief we have that we feel brings us to love more and then demonstrate love more.  Know that what a person has in their heart, is what guides a person in how they show themselves to the world.

If any of us find our beliefs changing as time goes on, then wouldn’t it be harmonious to let those new beliefs help us to love God more, also?  And then to Love our neighbor as ourselves more?

Every way of believing has the potential for Christ to be a part of and to come forth from within it.  Why? Because, His message was “Love one another, as I have loved you.” and we can bring this forth in any setting or context using any language or ideology.  It depends on us, and how we manifest our beliefs.

There are some that go around professing the name of Jesus Christ to anyone within earshot.  They will make sure their beliefs are known to those around them.  And they wear Jesus’ name on their sleeve, as if only saying the name is all that’s needed to live in our world.

There are others that quietly go around doing acts of kindness to someone who is beaten down by life’s circumstances. They extend patience and help to others who are struggling with the burdens they’re carrying.  They show mercy to those that are suffering in darkness, and understanding and compassion to someone who needs a friend in a moment of pain.  They don’t speak loudly the name of Christ, so everyone can know about them, but they do pray quietly within their own hearts for those they know could use a helping prayer.

Which one do you think actually knows the real Jesus Christ?

I will say this truly – Jesus Christ lives inside the act of kindness, not the act of criticism.  Christ lives inside the act of compassion and understanding towards another and not speeches of judging others.  If we find kindness, understanding and compassion in people, it will be these people that live with Christ.  When we practice the kindness, the understanding and compassion for people, Christ will live within us.  Then and only then will those beliefs we choose for ourselves be ours that connect us directly to Christ.

Finally, I’ll let you in on a secret.  No one is so bad, that there is not some good in them – some kindness, some forgiveness, some understanding of another, etc. and hence with Christ inside them. And no one is so good, that there is not some bad in them – some lack of understanding, some prejudice, some contention, some bitterness – which causes Christ to be set aside.

Marijuana and the Soul

The controversy continues and I’m going to add what I see psychically.  I don’t read all the research or comments about marijuana use.  But, I do look at it psychically.  This is the work I do, so this is what I present.

***      The use of drugs to expand the mind:  Many may support this, because it can bring about an experience for the person something beyond the current day-to-day consciousness.  However, there is an imbalance that occurs within the psyche from the experiencing of altered states without true spiritual growth while not in altered states.  Opening the mind can be truly fraught with serious minefields that were put there by the person, them-self.   The subconscious is full of behaviors, thoughts and memories, etc. which are still unresolved and unbalanced. Entering into altered states without also being willing to resolve and balance what is within the psyche while not in altered states leads to potentially serious mental problems and even death, as so many of us have witnessed.

The balanced growth into altered states can only move forward or grow greater with a foundation of character changes towards others and happening within the heart.  Balanced changes are the increased reliance in relationships on forgiveness, understanding, faith, cooperation, loving kindness, mercy unselfishness and the like.  These changes are also the facing of one’s own subconscious patterns in a way that brings insight into one’s own motivating reasons for these behavioral and psychological patterns.  The use of drugs to have an altered state experience does nothing for developing the foundation for better relationships with the people in one’s own life, or expanding the heart or strengthening the personal will towards fulfilling our soul purpose or soul evolution.   Likewise, they do not give one the will to explore the inner person’s own personal issues.  The use of these drugs for the expansion experience will create a greater imbalance and eventually this greater imbalance is witnessed as the drugs begin to damage the person and their psyche.

*      Each person is a spirit inhabiting a physical body using the brain and nervous systems to activate the body and thus live in this physical world.  Marijuana blocks the individual spirit’s ability to use the brain as its channel for being actively engaged through the body.  Yes, it can be used as a medicine to relieve pain.  But, its pain relief ability happens because of the spirit consciousness no longer consciously being in touch with the pain in the damaged body – which is the normal function of pain killers.

Some report they experience heightened physical sensations.  The sometimes heightened physical sensations that are perceived to happen, come from a now concentrated focus on that remaining physical stimulus, but without the previous total physical stimulus being part of the conscious awareness anymore.  Anyone who is psychic, and happens to be in the company of someone who is smoking marijuana will find that there is a very marked and noticeable difference inside the body of the person who has smoked, during the time of marijuana’s influence.  The spirit of the person is blocked by the chemicals from being fully in the body.  So, in essence, there is almost no one there, and the psychic is seemingly alone even though there is another physical  “body” in the room.

*      The principle of marijuana’s effects can be compared to the use of alcohol to warm the body when cold.  Alcohol doesn’t warm the body; it brings the body’s temperature down closer to the cold outer temperature.  Because the difference in temperatures between the body and the air surrounding them becomes less, this “feels” like the body just got warmer, when in fact, the body’s actual temperature got colder.

Drugs inhibit the “volume” of spirit consciousness able to access this physical world through the physical brain.  The normal expansive consciousness capable of addressing many aspects of the physical world at one time (via the consciousness, the subconscious and the superconscious,) is no longer able to access and assimilate these many aspects of the physical world through the brain at the previous level it had been assimilating.  The remaining spirit consciousness awareness that is able to get through the brain, is noticed more strongly as being “the conscious mind”.  However, there is actual less “whole consciousness” coming through the brain.  This contributes to the perception and labeling of the “noticed consciousness” as being heightened in the senses.  But, in reality, there is less consciousness of all parts of consciousness manifesting in the physical realm, rather than “more” consciousness of the daily conscious.

To try to understand this better, consider this metaphor.  If we had 10 water sources coming into our city (our normal full multi-level conscious intake of activity in the world, including the daily consciousness, the subconscious and the superconscious), but then shut off 9 of them, we would then experience a more focused attention and heightened awareness of the 1 left available.

Another metaphor – if we had 10 highways to serve rush hour traffic throughout the city, but then closed 9 of them, all focus and attention by drivers would go to the 1 left open – thus “a heightened sense of awareness” of the one that is left available.

****

While many consider the marijuana disconnect to the world we live in to be harmless, it does not bring with it greater understanding of our own self, our own subconscious, or our own psyche.  Nor does it enhance the spirit individual being fully in their physical body – a normally recognized grounded state.  The Marijuana state of mind – not being fully in the body- is definitely not the same as the “grounded state” – being fully in the body.

Nor does it open the heart chakra to have any greater care, concern, love or compassion for the other people in one’s life in order to help develop our relationships with others, our self and with God.   Many times it’s exactly the opposite.  The sometimes perceived expansion of consciousness which seems to be gained is imbalanced.  The soul cannot move forward when in an unbalanced state otherwise even greater damage/imbalance occurs.  Therefore, the soul must at some point, eventually return to begin again at the same starting place in order to find a balanced path to walk.

Still, I am a supporter of medical uses of drugs for helping the sick, including marijuana as medicine, and will continue to support the medical use of drugs.

But, God can make this rock into good soil.  He wears down rocks with many, many drops of water.  These drops of water – some call them rain, some call them tears.”

DIYers and Grid Independence in the Coming Decades

(Photo credit to imperfectlyhappy.com)

There is a huge resurgence of Do-It-Yourselfers and independent living enthusiasts in the U.S., also called “getting off the grid” with the numbers growing all the time.  The Internet is one of the best tools for finding out how to do this.

This is perceived by some as extremism.  If one thinks the nation is going to turn upside down in the next few years, and that they’ll be vindicated, then, yes, I would say this is an extreme view.  However, what I see isn’t that there is an extremism movement, but that people are tuning into their intuition, recognizing that their lives are dependent on their own actions, promises from any ‘outside-of-themselves source’ i.e. the government, are rarely going to happen, if at all.   An important factor in this perception is not knowing the correct timeline for this self-reliance to be most needed.

The movement isn’t happening just because of fear.  Extremism is happening because of fear, but not the movement to DIY and becoming more independent.  This is based on an inner resource.  What I “see” is that times are coming when DIY skills and grid independence are going to be needed, and people are intuitively tuning into this need for more self-reliance – a need which will grow in the coming decades as populations grow around the entire Earth.

All this is coming forth into our awareness, because it’s all going to be needed.  But, don’t mistake this for living alone and relying only on one’s self.  This is not what is needed.  As human beings, we need one another.  We need to rely on each other, as well.  God created us to need one another, and efforts to be an island unto one’s self don’t succeed.   Neighborhoods and communities which foster cooperation and helping one another have been successful for millennium after millennium.

The road ahead I see is this:

Food prices are set to rise significantly in the next three years specifically (2014-2016) at a greater rate of increase than average.  Starting in 2016, poor government actions and judgement directly impacting several contributing factors will set the foundation for 6 years of reduction of support to the majority of people, with support instead going to corporations and bigger business.

This will push for even greater reliance on corporations and bigger businesses to supply the needs of most Americans.  In general, I see most people who run corporations seeking to maximize profits (which corporations are always designed to fulfill.)   However, in the U.S. with corporate level efforts to control more and more of consumer markets,  many of the alternatives to corporate products, which are available today, will no longer be allowed to be available.

Those that are seeking to be DIYers and move towards more independence will be in  better positions to ride through the years ahead, because, after the 6 years, which end in 2022, there will be no turning back the tide of what is coming.

The population is rising around the planet leading up to 8 billion people.  This will lead, going into the 2030’s and 2040’s to experience much of what was experienced in the 1930’s.  A trend in the 2020’s will lead into the decade of the 2030’s where there will be a tighter supply of food.  It will be harder to afford what is affordable in today’s world.  The hardships will fall on the vast masses of people.   The government will be unable to do anything to help, because this will have been set in motion many decades even before the results manifest.

We see today the results of decisions made decades ago.  In the same way, today’s decisions, whether left or right, good or bad, will manifest decades from now.

What Can We Do

What can we do as people today?  Educate ourselves, believe in ourselves.  Rely on that which comes from within.  Let go of thinking that someone other than our self will make our lives better.  Let go of thinking that an elected official controls the quality of our own life.

Allow yourself to entertain the real idea that there may be more to life than just a physical existence.  Ask the spiritual world to come forth for the purpose of helping.  Entertain the idea of Christ as “a better friend” to us than we’ve imagined, and we’ve been to Him, and Him willing to give His very best to help His friends who welcome Him in.  Remember, Spiritual help that goes unused or untried, accomplishes nothing.  Spiritual help only becomes practical – only works in helping us with our lives on the Earth – if it is practiced and put to practical and pragmatic use in our lives – by applying our Spiritual principles to the different parts of our everyday lives for the goodwill and benefit of ourselves and others together.

The Regeneration of Mankind

The Regeneration of Mankind has begun.  It extends to all mankind.  Several principles are active during this regeneration:

Those who create the problems are given the task of fixing the problems.  Everyone has done this in present and past lives.  The problems we find ourselves in the middle of – those are the problems we are to face and do our best to help.  Many times problems are the result of many, many people and can only be resolved and helped by many, many people.  We are here to do that part that we, ourselves, can help with.

Forgiveness is an act of regeneration.  The deeper in our consciousness the forgiveness happens, the deeper the regeneration. The more comprehensive the forgiveness, the more comprehensive the regeneration.  There are many more factors within forgiveness that are still to be learned.

Regeneration is for all life.

Regeneration comes through Christ (the Christ, The Christ Spirit, The Christ Consciousness)

Criticism, judgment, condemnation blocks regeneration and motivates destructive actions against others.

Regeneration is a “generation after generation” process, meaning it will happen through generational progressions.  This also means that many will struggle against it as part of the process.  But, because it will extend through many, many generations, all will be given all methods available to them for when they choose for themselves.

No one person will understand all of regeneration or what it entails.

Each person’s path of Regeneration will be unique to themselves.

Q & A

In which countries do you see the food shortages being most severe?

In this decade, worldwide, we’ll see the current shortages in Africa and Asia continuing, and we’ll see movement towards shortages caused by drought in North America & Europe.  I state it this way because growers ship their food products across country borders.  The food shortages will be felt at the continent level in some areas.

This will be a slow process and not really recognized as being anything but a natural progression from the past and current weather extremes that bring about drought vs. floods.

However, I’m not saying that the whole Earth will have food shortages.  There will be areas that are still abundant with food, but at increasing prices.

As I will always say, local production of food is the most effective way of facing this problem.  Relying on the giant factory farms to produce the food is a great way to avoid healthier foods.  Food that must travel more than several hundred miles has a different energy than the home energy.  This can be felt by those who can sense or feel energy.  Still, if a person is hungry, it doesn’t matter where the food comes from as long as it comes.

When you say you see an ‘event’ happening in 2015 and it’s man made and economic, do you mean a stock market crash? If it is, will it be global or isolated in a certain area?

It is not a stock market crash, which actually cannot happen as it did in 1929, because of laws and precautions put in place to stop a crash in progress if it began.  Downturns, yes, but crash, no.

The event will begin in an isolated area and spread to have global effects.  I think what I see is that it will begin at the beginning of the summer of 2015, or signs of it happening beginning in the summer, but will have a culmination and highest impact in August, 2015.  The impact on the economy will be seen as time progresses.  I’ll continue to look at this and begin posting about it in 2014.

At one time on this planet, there were creatures much larger than us who probably ate a lot more (of course I mean the dinosaurs). So why won’t the earth have enough food to feed everybody? Will the GMO foods that Monsanto is pushing have anything to do with it? Will organic food prevail?

Currently, people choose what to eat based on many socioeconomic factors.   This means that there are many “tastes” as to what people want to eat and are willing to eat.   People’s different tastes will always be varied in quality, ingredients, price, etc.  This means there will continue to be a market for the variety of “foods” that exist even like today.  As today, so tomorrow.  Some will choose convenience.  Some will choose cheap.  Some will choose healthy, etc.  Organic food will be available for those willing to buy it.  Non-organic food will be available for those willing to buy it.  If people buy it, others will supply it.  What we will see is more of an effort to try to curb the food wasting but even this is done voluntarily.  The most impact on people will be the price of food going up.  And another opportunity to say it – local food production – including personal gardening – is a tremendous solution for these problems and will become more prevalent as people recognize this.

And in all of this, remember, by the 2040’s we’ll have reached in the neighborhood of 8.5 billion people on the planet.  I’m not seeing it ever get above 9 billion – ever.

There are people who believe in a Christ figure – they call him Maitreya – and that he has manifested himself on earth and is waiting for a period when people are ‘ready’ to receive him.

They say his message is one of sharing.

What do you see in this? It strikes me as similar to the extraterrestrial visitors in nature and I wonder if these are related in any way.

There are also many other figures that yet others believe to be the Christ figure.   Christ’s message wasn’t to go “out” looking for the Christ, but rather go “within” looking for the Christ – always the Christ within – in the heart and higher mind – listening to the still, small voice within.

His message also, with regards to whomever may claim they are from “Higher sources”, – you will know them by the fruits of the spirit which they demonstrate – not walking on water, or other physical miracles, but sincere loving kindness, patience, mercy, forgiveness, tolerance, true understanding, courage, a sense of humor, cooperation, faith, and more.

Do you think that gas prices will still be high given that we now have lots of wells producing natural gas and oil?

If by high, you mean 2013 prices, then, unfortunately, yes, the gas prices will remain high, because of the growing demand for oil and gas around the world.  It is the demand, rather than the supply that influences prices, as well as how oil and gas are bought and sold on the market.  Oil and its byproducts are used in the creation of hundreds of thousands of products of many kinds.  Even if all the cars in the world were electric, oil would still be in high demand.  We can deal with this draw on our pocketbooks on an individual level, but worldwide, we won’t see prices drop much – of course, there will be some price drops at times, but not very far drops.

We have drought conditions here in Southern California. How long do you see this lasting? Will we have an unusually hot summer this year in SoCAL? The weather has been so warm that we have early spring like conditions – plants are flowering all over the place.

I see the drought in Southern California lasting at least 5 more years.  I do wish I saw better than that, but I see this.  Prayer and meditation can have a healing and balancing effect on weather patterns.  The more prayer, the more balancing.  Praying is like rowing a boat to another location – the more people rowing, the faster one gets there.  If they give up rowing before they arrive, they’ll never get there.  If they only have their hands on the oars and aren’t putting their hearts into it, they’re not doing anything.

This new energy source sounds like an answered prayer for all the people of the world who are lacking resources – water, energy, etc. Will this bring about better crops and more water (through desalination – a usually expensive process)? Will it be decentralized or will it be able to be a little unit of energy for each dwelling? And will it be a lot less expensive and dangerous than nuclear energy?

Don’t misunderstand what I’m trying to mention.  While the beginning of the process for bringing forth this new energy has indeed begun – and by beginning, I mean, the formulation of theories that would eventually contribute to it’s manifestation and eventual useability – the process is a long ways away.  We will indeed have different energies at our disposal by the end of this century.  But, obviously, they won’t come on their own.

First of all, we have many paths before us as a nation, as a planet, and as a species.  Which path we take depends on our own efforts at spiritual levels, mental levels, financial levels, scientific levels, emotional levels and physical levels.  We can just as easily miss the path of bringing forth this energy by the choices we make.  This new energy can be put on the back burner and forgotten.  This act has been done before by us humans.

Bringing it forth is not set in rock, but there will be commercial efforts to bring it forth.  It also will be hidden to many during its development because of theft reasons.

Now to answer your questions.  It could become an answer to our prayers.  The impact can potentially bring down pollution levels including water pollution levels.  It would allow the waters and air to rebalance and cleanse.  This process would be several decades in the manifestation of this result.

It can be used for many purposes which will depend only on ingenuity and imagination.  Right now, I see it having potential for both centralized and individual units.  The individual units of generation of useable energy being portable units like gas generators are portable today.  Larger units would be able to serve larger groups.  There would be a need for some new type of commercial processes for those suppliers to make money from it.  The demand for it would drive its manufacturing.

Nuclear energy will be with us on into the next century.

The Infinite Archive

There is an actual internet archive that exists and is being compiled that archives every webpage and every past version of webpages in existence.  The purpose is to create a database of everything ever created on the planet.  Awesome, isn’t it.  Huge, too.  Right?

There is another archive in existence that holds even more information.  The Akashic records hold every thought, every emotion, every belief, every action, every everything of an entire lifetime.  And then it also holds each soul’s lifetime after lifetime, after lifetimes.  And then it holds everything in between lives, and it holds a soul’s existence before it ever entered into the earth plane, and it holds all the previous existences in other planes and other planets, … and all those thoughts, and feelings, and beliefs, and learning and actions.  And it holds all the potentials, all the choices, and all the other dimensions.  Even more awesome, and even more huge.  Right?

Then, there is the archive in existence, that holds infinity.  It is the Consciousness of God… of which the Akashic records exists in, and if you’re wondering, which the Internet Archive exists in, also.

Infinity is the Consciousness of God.  The Consciousness of God is Infinity.  This Consciousness of God is aware of Everything within it, including everything in the Akashic Records and everything in the Internet Archive.  And everything in every superconscious and everything in every subconscious.

Infinite Consciousness is aware of Itself as Infinite Consciousness.  Therefore, all life and everything pertaining to it exists within this Infinite Consciousness, and therefore, Infinite Consciousness is aware of all life and everything pertaining to all life.

Within Infinite Consciousness lies Infinite Creativity and therefore Infinite Possibilities.  This is why Jesus said, “With God, all things are possible.”  Jesus just used 6 words to say it all.  (I used more.)

And remember in the Infinite Consciousness of God exists Infinite Understanding, Infinite Forgiveness, Infinite Patience, Infinite Mercy, Infinite Peace and, yes, Infinite Unending Love.

You knew that, right? :-)

Leaving the World a Better Place

We’ve all heard of the phrase, “Leaving the world a better place than when we came into it.”

We can also leave a day a better day than when we entered into it.

We can daily leave a relationship a better relationship than when we entered into it.

We can also leave our mind and heart a better place than when we first started the day.

We can do these by adding kindness and patience to the day, or adding forgiveness and understanding to the relationship, or adding wonder and compassion to our hearts and minds.

We can by also adding mercy, or letting go of criticism, or by fostering a sense of humor towards all that exists.

Cheesecake, although wonderful on any day, won’t do it by itself.

Truth and Enlightenment

It is the worker bees that will bring this transformation about. It is the laborers.  It isn’t about spouting the enlightenment language or thinking the enlightenment thoughts or reading the enlightenment books or hiring psychics or eating macrobiotically.  It isn’t about being vegetarian or going to church or doing yoga or anything else.

It’s about going into the septic tank and cleaning out the feces and urine that has been inside our own self for lifetime after lifetime.  It’s about going into our own subconscious that we’re deathly afraid of and vehemently denying, and looking face to face with our own prejudice and hatred of others, dishonesty and contempt, judgement and bitterness, lies and deceit, violence and harm to ourselves and others.  It’s about looking at our self in the mirror and knowing that we’ve contributed to the suffering, pain, and death in our lives and other’s lives….
and then deciding to hold all that manure and sewage in our hands, take it to the sink and start washing.

This is because our love for God, our love for our self and our love for others is what it is that is underneath the sewage as we wash it.

If we’re not willing to do this, instead if we’re telling ourselves that we are an enlightened being, if we’re speaking the language but not working on the sewage inside ourselves (including telling ourselves it doesn’t exist), and believe me, there are many people who fit this description, we will return our next life and not have this so called enlightenment with us.  Instead, we’ll be back living from our own prejudice and hatred, dishonesty and contempt, judgement and bitterness, lies and deceit, violence and harm to others.  We will be once more the ones who cause suffering, pain and death to others, because we chose not to go into our own selves – into our own subconscious and self-centeredness to clean up the sewage that is shunted aside.

Anyone who says this is not the case, is selling something.  Enlightenment has no shortcuts – none.  Evolving has no shortcuts.  We face our self or we don’t grow.  We face our selfishness, our self-centeredness, our suffering and pain, we labor, we work, or else we accomplish nothing that will last beyond this particular life.  We face these by offering patience, by forgiving, by understanding, by extending mercy, by letting go of criticism and condemning others and ourselves.  We face these by responding with fruits of the Spirit rather than inflicting the same harm and selfishness, impatience, judgement, resentment, bitterness and attacks.

The sewage we do wash inside ourselves now – this life – will have been washed and not be with us the next life, and instead will serve as stepping stones and foundations to climb higher.

However, that which we do not clean up, will not go away.  We may not admit it to ourselves.  It may be buried deep within us.  We may think our own shit smells okay.  We may decide we’ll live with it.  And this will ensure that we will have it again with us and act on it our next life, and our next life and our next life and our next life and our next life and our next life and on and on, until we face that we lie even to ourselves, and it has not served us as we told ourselves it would.

It behooves us to work to be honest about what we have stuffed away in our own subconscious closet, and even to go searching for it.  And believe it or not, this includes recognizing that part of what we’re here to clean up is the guilt, shame, judgment, “casting of stones”, at our self.  So, to those who decide to labor, to those who choose to be worker bees, to those who will work, to those of us who love ourselves enough to be honest with ourselves, I leave this beginning consideration.  “Let he, who is without sin, cast the first stone.” also applies to how we treat ourselves.

If we don’t face our self – even digging deep into our own subconscious, we’re not doing the real work of transformation.  If we don’t do our work of transforming our subconscious and everything within it, our world will not transform .   The only world then to transform is somebody else’s world – transformed by the work of that someone else, who is willing to dig deeper into their own subconscious to face themselves.

Dig deep.  Though the journey within is fraught with the shadows of dragons, the reward is wonders and jewels of our self that we’ve never known before.

Let’s go to work.

Why?

Because we cannot bring forth kindness when we have violence and contempt within us hidden in our subconscious.  We cannot bring forth compassion, when we have judgement and condemnation entrenched deep inside.  We cannot be patient, or loving, or understanding towards others, if bitterness and resentment still come forth in how we live in our life.  We won’t bring peace to others’ lives if we don’t bring peace to our own deepest levels within.  We cannot demonstrate or express any fruits of the spirit towards others if we haven’t resolved the conflict within that hinders us expressing these even to ourselves.

Remember, nothing anyone has done to us – nothing we have done to others – has separated God from us.  But with our own actions, thoughts, beliefs and feelings to ourselves and others, some of which we’ve stuffed deep into our subconscious closet, we have, in effect, separated our self from God in our own hearts and minds.

Animal Spiritual Paths

Animal spirits do not have a specific animal spirit path for eternity.  Cats or dogs or any other animal don’t have only a cat or dog path that is for eternity their cat or dog spirit evolutionary path.  Animal spirits are no different than any other spirits with regards to evolving.  All spirits everywhere are spirits growing and evolving.  The association and incarnation into a particular animal species is only until that spirit learns what they can learn from that particular physical animal form and the associated path.  They can continue to incarnate as that species until finished with learning from being that physical form.  Then they move onto a higher level physical form and keep the spirit growth happening.

This is because each physical form – each animal, plant, reptile, etc, life form has it’s own capacity for holding a certain level of spirit consciousness.  The physical form is available for the learning and growth of any spirit at that level of consciousness.

All spirits are able to move to other physical forms if the physical form is evolved enough to hold that particular consciousness.  All spirits do not go backwards in the evolution of physical forms.  What I’m saying is that a human consciousness level spirit cannot go backwards into a less evolved physical form if they fail to learn or make mistakes.  Animal spirits are the same.  This would not allow them to learn and master that which they failed before, because those mistakes would no longer be available for them to work on.

For example, a person who fails a course in college is not sent back to High School.  A person in 4th grade that fails 4th grade is not sent back to 3rd grade, but stays in the level they’re at until they’re able to master that level.  Even if they make gross mistakes.

In addition, anyone who transfers schools before finished, and moves to a different school (or species) doesn’t have to be put back to another grade.  The “powers” in charge look for an equivalent level of placement to put the individual.  This means that if moving from one species to another offers equivalent levels of form capacity and equivalent opportunities for learning, then it can happen.

This is the same with all spirits including spirits that currently manifest as animals.  There is no such thing as a spirit that can only be a cat during it’s spiritual evolution, or a dog that can only manifest as a dog during it’s spirit evolution.  There is only different consciousness levels within evolution and different forms for those different spiritual, consciousness levels within the evolution process.  Spirits are not created to serve the needs of a particular physical form. Physical forms are created to serve the learning needs of spirits at particular levels of consciousness.

This is not transmigration of souls.  Transmigration is more often considered reincarnating from a higher form to a lower form.  If this were to happen, the spirit would not be given the  opportunity to learn from it’s mistakes, since each physical form has it’s own capacity for consciousness.

Were a higher life form to incarnate into a lower form, the lower form would not provide the capacity for the higher consciousness to address the mistakes.  A human spirit incarnating as a worm would not have the capacity as a worm to understand and learn from their mistakes.

In addition, the full human consciousness could not enter into the worm because if it tried to, it would immediately burn out the holding capacity of the physical body.  Higher levels of consciousness, or put another way, larger consciousnesses insert greater energy into the bodies than lower levels of consciousness (smaller consciousnesses).

The original view of transmigration of spirits into lower physical life forms was believed to be a way to punish an individual who purposefully caused harm to others.  But, punishment is not the purpose of life – learning and growing is the purpose of life.  What is better than punishing someone?  Helping them reach a level of understanding and learning that they no longer make the same mistakes towards others.  Punishment keeps things in the same place.  The helping process contributes to all of existence by moving all of life forward.
