Did Jesus have children? – 2

This posting is a reply to a comment at the end of the “Did Jesus Have Children? – 1” posting.

In Fulfillment of a Law?

With regards to the belief that He had to have children as fulfillment of a “first” commandment of “Go forth and multiply”, you could also be saying, by Jesus or anyone not having children, they are breaking God’s law. This presupposes that anyone who dies before having children, any priest or nun of any religion that chooses the religious life instead of family life, any woman who remains a virgin all her life, any person in any circumstance whereby it’s impossible for them to have children – all of these are breaking God’s law.

If you believe this, then know that I whole-heartedly don’t believe that God would create any situation whereby we would be forced to break God’s law. How could any child that dies be breaking God’s law by not having children before they died?

Do you see what I mean? To maintain that it is God’s first Commandment that we “go forth and multiply” and that this is a command or law, rather than a general invitation, doesn’t work in so many ways.

However, to give you the benefit of the doubt, I’ll take your point of view and say that Jesus did indeed follow the “law” as you have set forth, but not as Jesus. Jesus fulfilled that particular “law” as Adam.

Adam was Jesus’ first life as a human being. (Did I hear a shoe drop?) It can be said to be very fitting then to refer to this soul as “God’s only begotten son.” The Edgar Cayce readings speak of Jesus and His previous lives quite extensively. As Adam, he fell, and as Jesus, He was raised up. As Adam, he brought death, but as Jesus, He brought Life.

Jesus demonstrated the full evolutionary potential of all human souls in the Earth, by walking the path that every soul must take to evolve in the Earth. Adam/Jesus went through every human experience in order to create in this earth, a way back to our oneness with God. Jesus succeeded wonderfully in doing just this. He gave us the blueprint for how we as souls in our own evolutionary path can return to a oneness with God.

Did Jesus have a child?

While the belief can and most likely will still be held onto, the belief that Jesus had children points away from Jesus’ real mission. From many sources, including Jesus, we get that His mission and purpose is to demonstrate God in every way possible. This includes demonstrating God’s love for each of us, God’s willingness to help us at any time, God’s willingness to teach us, to guide us, to unite with us, to enjoy life with us, and more and more.

It was not in Jesus’ mission, during this one particular life, to set up special relationships with only a few people. That’s what family relationships are – special relationships. We are connected to family members in different ways that to others. From His own words, we learn that His family – his mother, his brothers and sisters are those that follow and do the will of God. (Matthew 12:50)

Jesus had a very definite purpose. His mission was to demonstrate God and in doing this, to do this equally to all souls, so that all souls know that they can at any time come to know that God is a real Being, that we can approach God, be welcomed by God, have a relationship with God, be loved by God, and live from this relationship with God as demonstrated by Jesus Christ. How many ways can we say this? Jesus’ is meant to show God’s love and attention to all soul’s equally.

For Him to show a special love to one or two is to get off course of the mission of showing God’s love to everyone equally. If we insist on maintaining he had special relationships, then think of all of us, human beings, as the “Mary Magdalene” in His life. He is always ready to bestow all love to each of us, if we are willing to accept it. We don’t need a sexual relationship with Him to be “special”, because every human being is “special” to Him, and to God.

One contributing factor to push the belief that Jesus had a relationship and children from it, is that through the centuries, organized religious belief has raised Jesus to a level of Him far above the normal human being to the point of Him no longer being a human being, but being God – above all life – above all human beings. Unfortunately, the result of this has been to separate Jesus Christ from human beings – making Him “special” and at the same time separate. This makes it seem impossible to connect to Him, call Him when we need Him, follow His example, to learn from Him, to be friends with Him and have Him as our friend, and to help us come to know that we can walk beside Him.

Unfortunately again, with Jesus placed in “too high a level that we cannot reach” – with this perspective, we come to think that it is no longer possible to live a life of love, of service, and of goodwill to others. The belief grows that there is a gulf between Jesus Christ and real people, and it becomes greater and greater.

The more we put Jesus on the pedestal, the more we place ourselves so far below Him that our connection to Him becomes unseen and unattainable. We no longer consider Him in touch with our own suffering, our own struggles and our own lives, and He becomes someone not “real” as we know “real”.

By believing that Jesus had a wife and/or children, for some, it is an attempt to try to make Him into a regular person once again. It is an attempt at trying to bring Him back into the realms of real people by having Him take on regular people circumstances – family, sex, children. Among other things, we want Him to be real, so that we can be closer to Him. But, believing this way isn’t really necessary to make Jesus a real person again or to have Him closer. The truth is Jesus always was and is a real person, like you and I. He calls us brothers and sisters, not subjects or pets. He sees us eye to eye, not by looking down. We don’t need to make Him into what He wasn’t in order to make Him real and close.  Putting Him on a pedestal is what makes Him seem unreal.

The bottom line for so many of us is, that we want to be close to a real Jesus Christ – one that isn’t on a pedestal. We can stop putting Him on a pedestal, and walk side by side with Him carrying on a conversation like any good friends who share their hearts and minds together.  Something to consider that may help this is to understand that at any time, instead of waiting for Jesus to move back closer to us, we can move closer to Him. Instead of waiting to have an experience of Jesus Christ, we can give Jesus Christ an experience of us – let Him have our company.

Are you wondering how? The same way that we usually let anyone have our company.

Election results and impact on future events

When masses of people decide they want something, and they’re willing to do something to get it, things happen.  The future as I saw it changed.  One definitely could say that I got it wrong, and I won’t argue with anyone about it.  It was amazing to watch a certain (gargantuan) group of people tell the country and the world, “We’re sick and tired of this, and we’re not going to take it anymore.”

In essence, en masse, the consciousness of the majority of voters said, “We’re in the drivers seat, now.”  It really is true, ‘Control is not something we are given, it is something we take.”

When this much energy and determination is put into any venture, it changes the path that once was being taken.  Three years ago,  2005, I clearly saw the next 6 presidents being white men, with Joe Biden, having the strongest possibility for being the next president (in 2008).

I also saw Hillary Clinton not getting the Democratic nomination.  At that time and up to the beginning of the primaries, I still saw Barack Obama being considered too inexperienced by the majority of voters.   At that time, too, Joe Biden dropped out of the race.

What I see currently is that had Joe Biden stayed in the race, it would have been a 3 way battle and it would have caused the Democratic Party to become more divisive.  The convention would not have had as strong a unifying effort come out of it.

A few other things I saw psychically during the time.  President Obama’s pick of Joe Biden won him votes.  John McCain’s pick of Sarah Palin lost him votes.  Regardless of what people feel and think about the candidates, this is what I saw psychically.  Joe Biden had a lot of energy behind him and added it to Obama’s candidacy.  Sarah Palin didn’t contribute much energy at all to John McCain’s ticket.  She contributed much but not psychic energy.

Enough looking back.  Everybody’s opinions who are different than stated here,  are just as valid as what I contribute.

As of today, looking forward…

The enthusiasm for Obama’s election will boost the country for about 4 months and then the natural forces that contribute to the economy and stockmarkets will reimpose themselves by May.  It will be a rocky road from May 2009 to October 2009.  In general, 2009 will not be the year the economy returns to normal, but by the Autumn of 2009, the economy will slowly be getting better.  2010 will see this progress continue.

This election has changed many of the things I’ve seen from the readings I’ve done in the past years.

1.  I’m now seeing a woman potentially becoming president as early as the mid 2020’s.  It won’t be Hillary Clinton.

2. If Obama wins in 2012, there could be a woman vice-president in 2016.

3. I still see another black man being president in the 2040’s.

4. While Toyota had a headstart with their Prius, and I previously had seen it take 6 years for the US automakers to catch up on market share and hence stock strength, I now see the time frame being reduced to 4 years for the US automakers to catch up to Toyota with regards to stock strength.

5. I’m seeing no change to the timeline for the new energy source which I see coming forth around 2050.  This whitish-blue energy source could be fusion but I don’t have enough context to be able to identify it.  The person who will develop a new way of looking at fusion is only now, (2009) in high school.  I see the timeline of 2014-16 still being on track for his dissertation process.  I see the timeline for further research being on track and beginning around 2021-2022. (only 12 years away.)

6.  From 2010 to 2015 will be the better half of the next decade.   From 2015 to 2020 currently appears to be a time of difficulty economically again.

7.  The Health care crisis in the U.S. will not get better during President Obama’s 1st 4 years.  There will be a few minor helping changes that are celebrated as if they were major changes, but these changes will help only a few.  The Insurance companies and Pharmaceutical companies are determining health care policy and this will change very little in the next decade.

8. We will see a slowly increasing number of resources for alternative energies.   The wind and solar technologies will continue to become prevalent.  These industries will grow all through the next decade and will be relied upon more and more.  By 2020, around 20-25% of electricity will be from solar and wind energies.

9. Electric cars are the future, but it will take a many decades.  In 40 years, the majority of cars on the road will be electric.  I’m still seeing flying cars come along, and starting to be more than just a news story in the late 2020’s.  By 2035, they will be “the new gadget on the block”.  They begin to be used in the 2030’s but won’t become the norm until the 2060’s.

10.  If you’d like me to cover a subject, send me a request.

God is Willing

God is more than willing to help us with our physical world and our physical life, if doing so will help us open more to the spiritual world and our spiritual life.  Opening to the spiritual world and our spiritual life refers to opening more to self”less”ness (unselfishness) rather than selfishness.  It refers to service also to those in need, rather than service only to ourselves.  It refers to recognizing the equality of all people and all souls, rather than the importance of any one person over another.  It refers to forgiveness as a path to peace, rather than vengeance; loving as a real choice we can make, rather than holding grudges as the path we choose; practicing patience and kindness, rather than habitually reacting with judgment and condemnation.  God’s help comes when we seek to grow and learn, not make things worse for ourselves and others.

God’s help also comes from God’s wisdom and awareness of what is needed, not from our opinions and desires.  Remember, there is a very real reason why God does not come to humans for advice.   But, He is willing to listen.

Can Predictions Change?

Can I be wrong?

Sure, sometimes a psychic can misread, but other times that which was predicted can be changed.

When a prediction is accurately made, it is made from psychically seeing the greatest possible outcome of all outcomes  of current circumstances if all things stay the same and if people’s patterns of choosing continues as it has in the past.  Rarely is the outcome 100% set in rock, though.  Things staying the same or things changing is based on freewill.  When Edgar Cayce made predictions, he mentioned that the future can change based on freewill of the people involved.  In other words, our future doesn’t happen regardless of our choices.  Our future happens because of our choices.  We choose what future enfolds.  Our actions have either benefits or consequences.  The actions we choose determine which happens – the benefits or the consequences.

This is true of all predictions, for the most part.  The mechanism of prediction is like a radio announcer who announces that a certain freeway is jammed with traffic at rush hour and will remain jammed throughout the afternoon, if current conditions continue.  If EVERYONE or a great majority who hears this does something to change their usual pattern of driving then the traffic jam won’t happen as predicted.  Someone then driving down that freeway later, could say “The radio announcer was wrong”, but was the announcer wrong or did the outcome change based on freewill of the people involved?

Predictions of weather are similar.  If nothing is done to change things, the prediction will happen.  That “nothing being done” being Prayer.  If people take no steps to change things, then things won’t change. But, with Weather?!?!?!?!

Yes, prayer can change many, many things, even the weather.  How many Texans do you think prayed for rain or for better weather for the Texas region.  How many people are praying for the midwest and central states?  It was the prayers for the Gulf Coast and it’s states coming from people all over the nation after hurricanes Rita and Katrina that healed the energy poised to send more hurricanes into the region through 2006 and into 2007.  The Gulf Coast had a mild 2006 season and 1st half of the 2007 hurricane season and all the meteorologists were stymied by this.

Looking at the mechanism of prayer helps us to understand why anything can change from prayer.  Prayer is the sending of energy into a certain situation or set of circumstances involving people or things.  This energy helps to raise the vibrations related to the events manifesting.  Many times destructive, unbalanced, and unhealthy events are the result of low energy/vibration actions or non-action by people.  War, hatred, vengeance, bitterness, selfishness of many kinds, are events of distorted and unbalanced energy.

When we pray, we help to realign, rebalance and raise the vibrations and energy of a situation.  By our consciously connecting to God, we are sending forth the highest of vibrations and energy into a situation.  The greater the number of people praying, the more power this prayer effort has to it.  In turn, then, the more people praying, the more power available to realign energies and the greater the change that can be brought about.

Realigning the energy of regions, i.e. praying for healthier weather, can help to rebalance all those factors which served to bring about the destructive weather in the first place.  For example, in the Central U.S., this region was the area of many great wars during the Atlantean militaristic times.  These conflicts happened many times in these regions and created a low energy region that is now becoming manifest according to karmic fulfillment.  The rest of the nation is affected by this manifestation now, in the same way that they were affected by the wars back in Atlantean days.

Areas and the peoples of those area that took no action to help or stop the conflicts during the Atlantean days then had the karma of not getting that which the area needs.  This can also manifest in the form of unbalanced weather.  This can be seen in Texas.  Texas’ future was to be no rain, and it has been dealing with very low amounts of water being replenished.  It still has this slated for the state in years to come.  In Texas, because no action was taken to help or stop the Atlantean wars then, no rain came to Texas in our time – that which was needed for life was not given then – that which IS needed now for life – water, does not come.

Except when prayer occurs.  Prayer is an action that we can now take to change some of what is happening as a result of our mistaken past actions and non-actions.  Prayer would have helped then, too.  Prayer is a real mechanism of connecting to God and God’s energy, then putting forth effort to send that greater, higher energy into the situation which needs it.

We can apply this to any part of life and do.  Who among us asks people outright when someone is in the hospital for something very serious “Please don’t pray.”  No.  We ask the opposite – “Please pray.”  because we innately hold inside ourselves the deeper awareness that there is something about prayer that helps.  And that something is the God connection that we make, which we then put forth into the dynamics of the certain circumstances for which we’re praying.

If you believe in a God who doesn’t answer prays, then change your beliefs.  When God seems to fall short in answering prayers, it’s not God that’s falling short – it’s our praying.  Prayers are answered according to the energy and effort put into them.  This includes the power coming from the numbers of people praying.

But, prayers that directly go against another person’s freewill, or prayers that try to take away a person’s freewill are another issue. As we pray for others, so are we praying for ourselves.  If we pray that God change someone else (against their freewill choosing), then ask yourself if you’re willing to give up your freewill to the will of another person’s decisions regarding who they want you to be.

Gas prices through the 2010’s part 2

I’m now seeing prices spiking higher.   In 2008, I see the year ending with prices ranging from around $4.30 to $4.70 in some areas of the nation for regular unleaded.  After a light dip in September 2008, the prices will steadily climb again.  By 2010, I see prices around $5+/gal.  I see prices staying in the $5+/gal range for most of the 2010’s.  $5/gal is not a cealing though and there will be times it finds it’s way to $6 /gal and over.  We will never see $3+/gal again after it leaves this range this year and next – meaning there will be some dropping of prices in some areas back down below the $4/gal line, in 2009, but after mid 2009, it will never go back below $4 again.

The spike I see in the first half of the 2010 decade, now looks like it will be just over $7/gal.

We will see vehicles stranded on the sides of roads because they will not have money to pay for gas.

Any changes we can make now in our lives will help us down the road, whether it be towards hybrid cars, adaptations to engines to run more efficiently, smaller cars, bicycles, moving closer to work, motorcycles, propane powered vehicles, and other ideas will help.   (What are your solutions?)

If you’re thinking this is fear-inducing, you may be right, but it won’t be my predicting this here, now, that brings this about.  I’m offering this as a siting of what I’m seeing down the road and around the corner.  I’m hoping to give people a head’s up to what I see coming down the pike.

Heat in Texas, water – June 2008

Mid June 2008:  Again, I’m not seeing any relief in sight for Texas for July and August of 2008.  It is going to be dry and hot.  No rain of any significance is going to come.  There will be a few spots in Texas that will get a little.  The northern area of the state will have the best chance – the panhandle and near Oklahoma.  The Gulf Coast will be windy, but not any helpful amount of rain during these two months.  Central and South Texas will be nothing but hot and dry.  The temperatures will regularly be 90-109.

The crops will suffer greatly.  Farmers will be devastated in some areas of Texas and will need help.  Emergency measures will need to be put in place for many farmers in Texas.   Texas’ water levels will not recover from this for many years to come.  There will be some recovery from this water shortage beginning in the late summer of 2010 and will get better leading up to 2013, but will never recover completely.  This will be what contributes to the water crisis in Texas that the elected officials will have to face in the mid 2010’s on. 

My recommendation: people need to start working on gardening, rain collection systems, and self-sustainability.  Individual efforts will help because the price of water is going to go up, the prices of vegetables are going to go up, and the costs of living are going to go up.  Not just because of gas prices going up, still more, but because of the heat and water problems.  It will almost be very much like the dust bowls of the 1930’s except for the locations.  We won’t reach the level of problems as they did in the Great Depression, but it will come close.

If anyone would like me to address other states, just let me know.

In the Bible, Joseph interpreted a dream for the pharoah, of 7 fat years preceding 7 lean years.  The pharoah took steps to prepare and helped many people through those 7 lean years.  My predicting this will not bring it about.  It is already set in place to happen.  It’s time to prepare and pray.

Midwest flooding predictions-2008

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

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

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

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

Central Texas Summer weather

June, 2008 will bring a small amount of rain for the central Texas area.  In July and August of 2008, there will be virtually no rain whatsoever for the Central Texas area.

Visions

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

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

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

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

2nd Edgar Cayce prediction occurs: Part 1

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dolphins and Tuna

I like tuna, but….

Each time I purchased a can of tuna at the grocery store, even though the cans had the “Dolphin Safe” logo on them, I continued to feel something – a nudge or a zap or an odd feeling, like tin foil on the teeth or a lightly dragged fork across a black board – something not quite right, and slightly but persistantly irritating.  After much soul searching and continuous experiencing of this odd “telling me” sign, I decided to take a look psychically at the tuna industry.  What I see psychically has led me to stop having tuna as part of my regular diet, even though I like it.

As of Spring, 2008, psychically, I see about 45% of the tuna fleets that present themselves as “Dolphin Safe”, in fact, are not dolphin safe.   Psychically, I see “hiding of the evidence” and that with 45% of the fleets, dolphins are just as much killed now as they ever have been.   Even though the label is on the can, and there is some checking, there are too few regulators checking and so the killing of dolphins continues.   In “reading” the level of killing involved with the cans on the shelves at the local supermarkets, psychically, I see about 40% of the tuna has been netted with a fleet that kills dolphins.  Some of the 45%, spoken of earlier, goes to other nations besides the US.  Also looking psychically, I see Mexico has fewer concerns about dolphins and see about 80% of their canned tuna coming from fleets that kill dolphins.

It amazed me how clear the “hiding of the evidence” aspect was to the reading.  In looking psychically, it also appears that 50% of the crews of the industry have no qualms with deceiving the regulators.  It appears to be quite a regular effort and an easy thing to do.

For those who want tuna, but want to also address the dolphin issue, I would suggest doing research on the specific companies, the type of tuna fish they catch, their record for violations, and alternatives to tuna.  I suspect there are some companies that may try harder than others to buy from fleets that minimize their dolphin kill but I don’t see much difference among the well-known brands on the shelves now.   They all buy from a mixture of sources, and blend all the tuna together at the processing plants.

I’m switching to salmon for right now.  I don’t get any negative psychic hits off salmon.  In the very rare times that I may yet select tuna, I will select the Albacore.

Recession of 2008

This recession, which is real, will continue on thru 2010, when the public will have aclimated (slowly) to high gas prices, and will begin to venture out spending more on things that are not necessities.  But, the housing market, which generally will be slow thru the end of 2010, will wake up due to having to rebuild from natural disasters and flooding which will occure in the next 2 years.  In effect, having to rebuild so many destroyed homes is going to pull us out of the recession.

Mad Cow Disease in the US

Mad Cow Disease has already taken hold in the US.  It will start surfacing in 2009 with a few cases.  Each year after this, the number of cases will increase.  In 2010, there will be a higher number, then 2011, there will be more than in 2010, and so on.  The peak time will be 2015-2016.  Thousands of cases will be happening.  It will continue to be a problem through the end of the -teen’s decade (2011-2020).  The number of cases will level off in 2016, and slowly start to decline through the end of the decade.  In 2024, a significant event will happen related to Mad Cow Disease.  I interpret what I see as a discovery to help prevent and reduce its occuring.  Something significant.

Developing Psychic Ability -1

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gas Prices

Each time I “look”, I see something similar.  The sad news is that gas prices will never go back down.  Each time I’ve looked, I see us paying on average $4.50/gal. by 2014-2015.  The earliest I see us paying $4/gal is 2011.  The latest is 2013, which is only 5 years away from this writing.  Do any of us remember 2003?  It wasn’t that long ago.  That’s how soon 2013 is.

I will always suggest people work more on becoming self-sufficient in whatever ways they can.  This will help the economic drain that gasoline prices will bring.  With higher gas prices, come higher prices on everything that has to be delivered somewhere.  With the exception of only a few items, everything gets delivered somewhere.
