When someone asks us if within our religious or spiritual beliefs, we believe in a man in the sky, tell them, “Yes”.
Tell them, “When I look up in the evening sky, I see the sunset filled with colors spanning throughout the horizon – beautiful to behold. I see a magnificent signature at the end of a day, as if saying, ‘This is a day that I have made’ with Him signing his name.
When I look into the sky at night, I see the stars, planets, comets, and other of the most awesome wonders to behold. With extending my seeing further by putting satellite telescopes in front of my eyes, I see beyond what I could have even imagined, billions of light years, billions of stars, billions of galaxies, deeper and further than ever thought possible, seeing supernovas, gas giant planets and stars, and more beyond anything any human imagined before the telescopes came into being.
When I look up into the morning sky, I see the sun rising with colors that are more beautiful than I could ever recreate on a canvas, even though many have tried. During the day, when I look up in the sky, I see the blue skies filled with birds flying, trees and mountains reaching into the sky, rain falling down feeding the entire Earth and snow bringing stillness and quiet.
When I see the birds, I see the Wright Brothers taking us up to be with the birds, something we did not think possible, until we strived for it. I see planes traversing the entire planet in a matter of hours, carrying men, women and children. I see the Saturn 5 rocket and Apollo 11 capsule, with Neil Armstrong taking us yet further into the sky than we’ve ever imagined possible allowing us to touch the moon with our fingers. I see the telescopes giving us the visions of what is beyond who we are here on this planet. I see the Solar System, and the Milky Way Galaxy. I see other Galaxies, other planets not even close to us. And I see billions of years into the past, billions of light-years to the other end of the Universe, with myself being a part of all of this, conjoined with the Universe.
Hubble Ultra Deep Field
When I look up into the sky, I see many parts of myself that I have discovered are greater than just the person standing in my shoes. With my ever-growing spiritual beliefs and my ever-growing science understanding, I feel and see myself as seeking that which is beyond what my own mind can think up. I see myself as being the man in the sky and I am beckoning myself to seek more than what I currently believe in Religion and Science. I am also beckoning myself to seek more than what I have in my mind about what is in the sky.
From seeing/feeling/sensing ALL this, I know that I am more than just what I see of myself in my body standing here. I see that I am more than just a Democrat or a Republican. I am more than an Israeli or Hamas. I am more than a Russian or a Ukrainian, Chinese, European, Asian, African or American. I am more than just who or what is standing in my shoes. I am conjoined with something that is larger than myself – a whole unimaginable-until-now Universe larger. And when I study and learn ever more of what I believe through religion and spirituality, I feel again that I am conjoined with something and Some Life that is a great deal Greater than myself,… … and I feel a beckoning.
No human being on Earth, knows the fullness of what or who God is. But, whatever This Life is that is larger than myself, I feel the innate driving, beckoning feeling to find out more, about This Life that I am a part of, and about my life, myself which is a part of This Life.
This ALL is beckoning me to open myself to possibilities beyond my own mind, perspective, heart and my own understanding. In my spiritual beliefs, I have experienced, become aware of, and come to believe in, more than who I had been, and in my scientific study and explorations, I have experienced, become aware of, and come to believe in, more than who I had been.
And this is what I see when I look up to see the Man in the Sky.”
The spiritual path is fraught with every kind of challenge. One of these challenges is staying grounded in our life as a human being. We live on the Earth – a physical world – that has all kinds of requirements. We live in societies which require all kinds of understandings, tools and resources to continue. So, the question becomes, “How can I love God and love my neighbor” when I’ve got bills to pay, mouths to feed, needing to put clothes on our backs, a roof over our head, all in this crazy world, and then do it again, tomorrow and then with all our needs to live becoming less and less available and attainable.
How can I have a meditation practice, or prayer practice, or think about energies, or Runes, or mystic crystals, incense, or changing the world, or planting trees, or yoga, or reincarnation, or teach retreats, or attend retreats, or recycling, or electric cars, or predictions, and healings, or deal with my inner demons …. when I’m about to be evicted, or can’t make a decent income, or don’t have enough food to feed myself or my family?
There is a very real problem of imbalance related to being on the spiritual path and then having to deal with psychical needs, working through our inner emotional demons/shadow, struggling with money, and any number of human struggles in a world of suffering, pain, death, hatred, shortages, want and ignorance. This potential for problems stems sometimes from our lack of understanding or our abundance of confusion about our spiritual vs physical struggle and/or trying to avoid facing and dealing directly with these serious challenges – both inward challenges and outward challenges – spiritual challenges and physical challenges – the inner world challenges and the external world challenges.
This experience of our inner world and outer world disconnecting and not lining up, is called many things: planting our feet firmly in midair – the shadow side of the path of light – the flight to light – finding your bliss (and yours alone) – thinking we can’t walk a spiritual path when we’re in a physical world. Some even consider this “being woke”, which many are using as an insult. These refer to some way of disconnecting from physicality or our human reality or from the physical needs, psychological needs and emotional needs of our human life while trying to think this is how to be spiritual and enlightened. It can also include the act of pointing the finger of blame and judgement at others, when we haven’t addressed our own contributions to the worldly conflicts.
For some, the spiritual path is seen as a lifestyle and “hobby”, to enjoy when there’s time. This can be what is meant by “A house built on sand, will not stand.” Yet, our inner “foundation” of our psyche/soul needs issues within all levels of ourselves to be worked on, in order to be strong and balanced – meaning we have to address our relationship problems, our physical needs, our attitudes, our thoughts and judgments towards our self and others, and our actions, as part of our spiritual path. This is known as walking the razor’s edge referring to the spiritual path being easier to fail, falling flat on our face, than it is to succeed at walking on a razor’s edge. (And seeking whatever help we need, with each part of our life.)
The misconception/misunderstanding becomes the thought that our human needs oppose our spiritual needs. There are plenty of people who believe this – and it is a real spiritual challenge and learning process to come to understand how the two paths can co-exist or can co-exist to become one path, … AND THEN US PRACTICE IT.
Sitting on Top of a Mountain
There is a real spiritual principle – several principles actually, which are helpful to understand how to not get caught up in this misunderstanding of this lesson of the spiritual path – of this aspect of learning the spiritual lessons of being human and within the human experience.
There is a saying that many of us will recognize – “Before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood and carry water.” When I was working at a University, we amended it to “Chop wood, carry water, graduate students.” It points to the arena in which we humans are trying to live our life – and says that the needs of this arena don’t change when we seek to walk a spiritual path within the arena.
There is another saying that takes us further, “If it’s in the way (the boulder on the spiritual path), it IS the way”, meaning, we have inner work on ourselves to do, and some of it is triggered by the outer world – with the outer world NOT being the source of the problems within our psyches, in our lives but rather the external world being the arena in which we learn and practice healing of these problems.
First, to work, remember, every human being is spiritual by our nature. Every life form and “non-life” form is spiritual as our substance of existence, – “in the image of God”. In turn, every human being living a life as a human being, has very real physical requirements to continue our existence in this physical world.
For example, name one human being who doesn’t need the most basic item to live as a human being – air to breathe. [Breathing is non-negotiable. Not being able to breathe is a deal-breaker. No breathing means no continued existence in this physical world.]
We have built societies all around the planet that require us to participate in fulfilling the needs of our human existence. Yes, we can still willingly lay down, stop breathing and die, if we so choose. Yet, to fulfill our spiritual quest inside this physical universe realm, the purpose we are here, we can only do so by also fulfilling at least basic physical, mental, and emotional needs.
Christ knows this. God knows this. The prophets in our holy books knew this. Hence why they sought to continue to breathe air, eat food, drink liquids, wear clothes, seek shelter, and do “other” things that the human body needs to do regularly, as well as have human contact, think, learn, and feel.
The needs we have as human beings are not mistakes, nor are they evil. The needs other human beings have, as human beings, are not mistakes, nor are they evil. Being a human being is not a mistake and not evil. God has us in this world and we need items to continue to operate in this world.
This physical Universe, including Earth, is our gymnasium, where we work out. It is our school house, were we learn and grow. While some may seek living on top of a mountain apart from the physical world, this is NOT a requirement to walk a spiritual path. We can do so by “working out in our gymnasium” – “attending to our school work” – by living life as a human being and learning how to express the higher forms of expression through our efforts to Love one another.
All the things humans need to live life, exist being part of the environment in which we can practice our spiritual lessons- this means all things in the physical world. And what are these lessons of learning and growth? What are the machines we use in the gymnasium of human/spiritual growth/lessons?
One of the first is letting go of the judgment of physicality. Eating is not anti-spiritual path. But, our eating unhealthily can cause us all kinds of problems. Having sex is not anti-spiritual, but our believing sex is a substitute for love or is the only meaningful way to relate to another person can cause all kinds of problems. Having a job, working for money is not anti-spiritual. Money isn’t the root of all evil, but our selfishness with what comes into our life with money can cause us all kinds of serious problems for our spiritual path.
All the problems of the world stem NOT from the environment of the physical world we currently live in and the needs of this environment. All the problems of the world stem from who we are as humans within ourselves, and how we relate to each other – which stems from who we choose to become, within our own hearts, minds and souls. This is why Jesus’s teaching has been and always will center around LOVE – to address the source of our problems within ourselves, and then to realize that the solution also lies within ourselves – in our hearts and minds. Remember, Jesus never spoke against any form of government or any religious belief system. He spoke against our selfish behavior towards each other, and spoke for a more loving and unselfish way to relate to each other.
It is who we are within that is the real gymnasium in which we need to work out. It is how we relate to ourselves, to others, and to God that is where we have learning, and in turn, work to do. For example: Who do we not respect? This is the next person or group of people where our work/practice is needed. Who have we not shown mercy? Here is another arena ready for our inner effort. Who are we not compassionate towards? Who do we feel no tolerance towards or no patience towards? These types of questions can easily mount up in the numbers, and if we don’t spend time examining these within our own self, we will cause ourselves all kinds of problems.
The path we walk when on our spiritual path is through our own heart, through our own mind and ultimately through making our own soul real when living in this Earth. While we are in the Earth, our spiritual path also has to do with recognizing that we are part of the Universe of Gymnasiums in which all life is walking a path to grow, learn and evolve.
Our spirituality does not stem from the physical world or any physical item or activity. Our spirituality stems from our being aspects of the Infinite Consciousness that we call God. Nothing we do or say or how we live will ever change this principle – that God’s Spirit nature is our own spirit nature. We are the substance of what God is…. but very much unaware of what God is since we are all but unaware of what we, ourselves, are.
Even though we sometimes make massive mistakes, express selfishness, and create all kinds of pain, suffering and death for others and our self, our very core nature remains the same nature that God’s core nature is – Loving Kindness – and this is for Infinite Time – all eternity. Living from this principle/belief changes so much within ourselves and in our life.
So, we can go to work, earn money, buy stuff, and recognize that these activities have a purpose which is to create a healing arena where we can demonstrate deliberately to Love God first with all our heart and mind, and to Love our neighbor as our self. Because, sometimes Loving God means we can live and earn and work, and better ourselves. Depending on our circumstances and path, materially, sometimes we can better ourselves more than others can better themselves. Then, we need to practice/follow through/take on the practice of the second part of this commandment – the loving our neighbor as we have our self – by helping them stand when they don’t have legs as strong as ours. We can help them to plant their legs on solid ground, like we have been able to work towards for ourselves – with the very real help God has given us and which led to us being able to plant our legs on solid ground.
We sometimes forget that standing up so as to walk our path of life, is only one aspect, helping others then to stand up, also, is another aspect. (It is very easy to stop working out while in this gym, and ignore the opportunities of our own inner work when we’re judging and criticizing others’ stopping or their inability to work in the gym or to learn in our school.)
Finding our bliss is not yet finding the fullness of God. The helping of others to find their bliss takes us still further in finding God. Sitting on top of the mountain is not yet finding God. Sharing what God has given us – Love, kindness, patience, compassion, mercy, forgiveness, etc – with others, moves us closer to God. Realizing we are loved by God is not yet our full enlightenment, sharing this love through our own hearts to others reaches into our full enlightenment. These examples are like finding a drop of water within our self, and then, helping and sharing these manifestations of loving kindness with others is like finding the Ocean within everyone and everything.
Christ’s words were, Love God first, then take this love out and give it to others like we give it to our self. We say that God is Love – an unselfish Love that goes to everyone and everything, but then therefore this same Love as we unselfishly give to others, is God – when we unselfishly love another, we are extending God to another. To practice our spiritual path is to serve God, or put another way, – to practice our spiritual path is to serve the Infinite Spirit of Love by loving.
Christ’s word to the rich, young man were, “take what you have and give it to the poor”. Take what God has given you, which comes from God, and give it to those who don’t have what you have. This includes Love, compassion, kindness, tolerance, patience, Oneness & unity, forgiveness, mercy, long-suffering, grace, joy and the other qualities shared with us by God, extended and given to us by God, and which we strive to build within our hearts. The young man had his bliss, but he hadn’t yet helped others to find God through giving Love, compassion, kindness, tolerance, patience, forgiveness, mercy, long-suffering, etc, etc. – helping others to find “bliss”.
Our practical, grounded and physical work starts in the heart – because Love, kindness, patience, mercy, forgiveness, compassion, long-suffering, unity, tolerance, and other qualities – these are the practical and grounded aspects of the soul which we absolutely must have in order to live life as human beings in relation to other human beings in this Earth. We cannot live and stay alive in this Earth or any plane of existence, without these qualities in some form. We cannot have any relationship with any person if we were void of these.
These things are our spiritual breathing, which this Earth, and we, cannot live without. We cannot live in a world without Love or without kindness, or tolerance – no matter who we are. Who among us wants to live in a world where there is no tolerance for anyone who is different? or no love for anyone who is different? or no kindness for anyone who is different? (And remember, that EVERYONE is different from EVERYONE else.)
***
Addressing the practicing of these in our life, is when we take our feet and begin to plant them on the solid ground. It is the taking of lofty ideas and ideals, and breathing the breath of life into them with loving kindness, mercy, etc, to make kindness real in the world and to make compassion real in this world.
This is what makes living our ordinary life as an ordinary human being, into an extraordinary spiritual experience, and helps us walk our spiritual path, even with all the boulders we come across while on it-with all these boulders simply needing patience and persistence to work on them until they are soil in which to grow the seeds of our soul. Just ask any glacier you meet if it’s possible to change the landscape of the world in which we live and the soul of who we are.
God bless us, everyone; and God bless all our efforts to bring Love into the world.
I’m going to get right into it. This may come across as a little hokey, but never the less, it is pertinent.
If we walk a spiritual or religious path, if we study spiritual or religious matters, if we pray, meditate, practice any spiritual or religious practice, then we can personally relate to at least one of these titles above. All of us think of ourselves as one of these roles, if not more.
We may not realize that each of these titles are interchangeable. This is because the spiritual learning and growth process involved with, being followed by and going on within us, related to each of these positions, and which helps us to identify ourselves – in fact, describes each of us as all of these roles, all at once.
When we learn greater spiritual lessons, we may not realize it, but we don’t absorb what we learn from an outside source coming inwardly into us. Our insight or lessons learned experience doesn’t come from a book or studying or another person. It sure seems that way when we only consider a surface perspective, and look at our intake process and experience on the surface of consciousness.
What is actually happening is that we are learning within ourselves, first – deeply, but mostly without our being aware of this deep inner learning. We learn from the deepest within ourselves, first. We learn from external sources only superficially, because our real learning, the first we are introduced to any spiritual “material” is deep within our unconscious part of our consciousness. And our unconscious understanding of spiritual understanding doesn’t come instantly or easily to the surface of our conscious awareness.
(At Cooper School, Miss Thelma Dewitty, the 1st African-American teacher in Seattle, teaches the second grade. She taught in Corpus Christi, Tx., for seven years, moving to Seattle in 1947.)
The greater spiritual understanding, which exists deep within us – is getting ready for the day that this insight, understanding and awareness comes to the surface of our consciousness via some method, (like the books and classes,) which helps us to go “AAHHH HAAAA!!!”
From an external “teacher” or “teaching tool”, whether a person, book, TV, movie, billboard, tree, dog, horse, skyscraper, or bubble gum wrapper – comes external words and concepts which are already integrated within our unconscious consciousness. When we hear the words consciously, AND IF WE’RE WILLING TO LISTEN WITHIN, we recognize the concepts and Truth which we have been seeking (usually in tiny bits so as to not overwhelm us.) This experience is one of finding our next step, stepping up another rung of the ladder, walking our path, having our “Ah Ha!” moment, etc.
The teacher is within, and the words from outside of us, are merely from someone, another student, who has taken these particular steps before and made the inner connection and sharing the concepts. We are the student, listening to the inner teacher who is our Higher Self as the voice within (also known as the Christ within, the Buddha within, the God within, the Great Spirit, Yahweh (etc.) — all of these are One Voice within us.
Likewise, when the external teacher is speaking the words/concepts, this insight is also coming from within the teacher. In addition, at the same time, there is a part of the external teacher’s own consciousness that is learning from the information, even as he/she is speaking. The “teacher’s process” is because we are not the same person we were in that moment of speaking that we were when we grasped the concept/understanding originally. The external teacher is a new person in that exact moment, and as the external teacher speaks to the students, the teacher is also learning from their own words they’re speaking.
As the external teacher teaches other people, the teacher is learning from that which is coming up within the teacher. And the student is learning that which the student already knows deep within themselves. By speaking, the teacher becomes a student, and by listening, the student becomes their own teacher. Herein is a paradox.
This very same process is happening with the Seer and the Seeker/Client. As the Seer reads the vibrations/energy and records, then also coming up from within the Seer is the understanding and “knowing” of the meaning of the vibrations/energy. As previously described, this also comes from the Higher Self within, Christ within, Buddha within, Great Spirit, Yahweh, Allah within (again, all of these are One.)
The Seer’s effort and willingness to continue to learn, as well as cooperate with this inner Voice, determines the accuracy of the words coming forth through whichever spoken or written language used to convey the information to the client.
The Seer interprets the information into words of whichever language, (and which the Seer actually speaks), so that the client/seeker can hear the words, which hopefully leads to the client/seeker’s “Ah ha” moment. This information had heretofore been unconscious and unmanifested, submerged in the unconscious mind. But, with the Seer being the translator, when the right words come forth – leading to both people vibrating to the exact message, then a connection is made between the Seer and the client/seeker which is an experience of “opening ones eyes” to, hopefully, accurate and helpful information.
This can also be the moment when a client/seeker recognizes the Truth that had been within them unconsciously waiting for the right time and the right words. For the most part, the Seer is, sometimes unknowingly, interpreting what is coming up within them both, but also sometimes bringing a moment where the information fits, clicks and makes sense.
Interestingly, if there isn’t a strong connection felt with any particular information, this can simply mean that it’s not the right time, not the right words, not the right perspective or the client is not completely ready for the information. These experiences are not necessarily mistakes, but rather can also be part of the process. The client’s decision is to either allow it to continue, reject the information, or save it for a future time to re-review it.
In many instances, instead of a mistake, the words and concepts provided can be like seeds planted in soil. If it is good soil, one day that soil can help bring forth the seeds that had been planted before. This experience is like buying a book to read and then not reading it until 20 years later.
An example of this – there have been times I’ve given some information doesn’t immediately fit or click for the client, knowing that it was for when they listened to the reading recording years in the future.
But, the process can be still “alive” when things seem to not work.
Each Seer is also a seeker. Each Seeker/Client is also a Seer. The difference is only that the “Seer” is someone who has practiced learning how to consciously interpret the vibrations/energy/Akashic records and the language of the Soul. The Seer, like the Teacher at the beginning of this article, is an interpreter of what the student and seeker are unconsciously hearing within.
Likewise, the Client/Seeker “somehow” can feel to pursue a psychic reading from the voice within – intuition?, a hunch?, a gut feeling?, an impression?, a notion?, an inkling?, a feeling in one’s bones?, – and in seeking this information, activates their own “psychic” self as they listen to the reading, cooperating with the Inner Voice to bring to consciousness what before had been in the unconscious consciousness. And because all people are somewhat psychic/intuitive, etc. (under various names or aspects, and sometimes denying it vehemently, and many times underdeveloped), the path to reacquainting ourselves with the sensing of our own spirit/soul, – to believe and eventually “know” as best we can that Spirit/God/Allah/Christ/Holy Spirit/One Infinite Consciousness/(lots of other names), is real, and the path to greater yet learning and awareness still, is set before all people to walk through one’s own life, learning from the Voice within, if we so choose.
When Jesus would bring a healing to someone, He would answer their questions and their gratitude with, “It is the Father within me that does the work.” This is true of all teachers and students, Seers and clients. When genuine help comes forth from our own caring and love, it carries within it, at some level, the Spirit of Love which is the Spirit of the One Infinite God. When we grow and learn, help and support, forgive, love, show mercy, give forgiveness, show compassion, etc, it is the Father/Mother God within us that does this transference to the other on the receiving end, as well as brings us into the Light, opening our eyes and helping us to have our “Ah Ha!” moments. “It is the Father within us that does this work.”
***
We are the “Mini-me”s that God has created from God. Like children of humans, born from the very material of the mother’s (and father’s) bodies. We are Children of the One God, born from the very material of God – in his likeness. From Spirit comes spirits, and all of creation is the result. There is no separation of God and God’s creation. It is simply that God has created variations on “God expressing God,” and all of life & creation are the result. And for all of us, learning this piece by piece, understanding our relationship with God, one hair at a time and sharing it as we can, comes from the guidance from the Voice within us – telling us to “Go forth and multiply this learning and awareness on the Earth, by being the teacher, the student, the Seer, and the seeker.”
We now see an ending to the current Donald Trump’s trial regarding falsifying business records.
The opinions are everywhere and in all directions.
To consider this in terms of spiritual lessons, we can look according to our own prejudices and opinions. Or we can look at what Christ said.
Some facts:
Everyone involved is human – on every side.
Every human has both the light and the dark within us – on every side. No one on either side is All Light, or All Dark.
If we decide that one side or the other is Absolute Right and the other is Absolute Wrong, then the problem is ourselves for seeing absolutes where they don’t exist.
We will not be abandoned in our seeking the Truth, (sometimes taking long periods of time.)
Jesus told Pontius Pilate:
“You have the authority over me, because God gave it to you.” The challenge for Pontius Pilate and for anyone is – ‘Now, what are you going to do with that authority?’
It is true that all of us can say ‘we have this because God gave it to us’ about many characteristics of who we are. We have the life we live, because God gave it to us. The question also applies to us. Now, what are we going to do with all that we have?
God allows us all many characteristics and many events in our lives. What are we going to do with them?
Are we going to use our life to help others, or to harm others?
Will we use what God allows us – for ourselves only, … or for sharing with others?
Will we take what God gave us to raise ourselves above others – or to raise up everyone equally?
Will we use our traits, abilities, skills, awareness and life resources to help people that come into our life – or to harm people who come into our life?
-to work to create a heaven on earth, or to help create hellish experiences for people?
-to walk the challenging road of walking a path of loving kindness, or to look for ways to be indifferent.
No one person is one or the other of these opposites. We are all both sides of these questions. Hence, it does help to work at remembering to ask ourselves throughout our life –
“What am I doing with the life chances, opportunities, and traits that God has given to me and helped me to develop.”
*** Joseph said to his brother who sold him into slavery, “Can I take God’s place in judging you? What you meant for evil, God meant for good.”
We do not have the wisdom, or the level of consciousness to know God’s will always or to know 100% of what is involved with the events and happenings of all things. God alone has the consciousness to know all the Truth about a person or an event. We don’t have the wisdom or insight to see into everyone’s heart, mind or soul. We humans are only yet at the level, where we are learning how to be kind, how to show mercy, to forgive, to love, to show patience, to learn about having faith and trust in God, others and ourselves. We are at the level where we still need to seek and pray for wisdom and understanding. We are students, still hoping to learn so much that is waiting for us.
We are children still, and we cannot assume that we can take God’s place in being over other people. Yes, we human beings on the planet Earth have established a legal system so that we can find a way to have peace and laws on the planet. And we do the best we can with what we have – whatever tools, and resources we have to help us. We Earth humans have established laws in which we seek to build societies of peace and respect towards each other. And we have decided that these laws pertain to every human soul alive. We have established systems whereby we set these laws in place to be enforced. We are spirits living inside the experience of the human being, and we decide that the laws we set in motion, while not perfect, are still meant to be respected as that which governs and rules.
***
The only black/white in all this is in our self – if we don’t see that each and every one of us are human beings, like that human being 2000 years ago, named Pontius Pilate, who was a man of his time, just doing the best he could with the tools and laws he had at his disposal, in the same way that we are people of this time period, just doing the best we can with what we have.
All the people involved with the Donald Trump trial that just finished are human, including Donald Trump. The worst of these people, still have good in them. The best of these people, still have bad in them. We are all equal in this. This is why we are “peers” and every human being is equal with every other human being.
We have opinions, but our opinions don’t erase that we humans all have both dark and light within us. And more often than not, when we judge and condemn anyone, we are also judging and condemning that part of our own self that still tries to live, reside, and hide in the darkness.
“Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.” deals not just with others, but how we deal with our self, as well. The chain of placing guilt and shame on anyone, is one chain, and places guilt and shame on all who touch it and who it touches. We have to hold onto it to place guilt and shame on others, and because we are touching it to hold it on others, we are also touching it and receiving our own guilt and shame which we assign, the source of which may still hide in the darkness. The choice is ours, always.
The heaven and/or hell which we create for others, is the heaven and/or hell which we are creating for ourselves. Each of us goes through our own heaven and hell in our lives and while we don’t know what God knows about ourselves, we do know that we’re not perfect – there is both light and dark in ourselves.
We’re going to have opinions, thoughts, feelings and more about the events and people of our lives. And we’re trying to work on all the qualities of our spiritual path so that we can bring in more Light, Love, Kindness, etc. – which is worth our effort. It is our efforts to try to help create more heaven than hell for ourselves and others, and we can do that even within the confines of this political year and all the associated events.
May God bless our efforts to bring light, love, kindness, patience, mercy, forgiveness, compassion, understanding and more into our own and others’ lives.
*******
You may be surprised by the direction I took in this article. I write in hoping to help people continue to seek to walk a spiritual path, and not get entrapped by an “Us vs Them” paradigm. Walking a spiritual path is rightly described as walking the razor’s edge. It is most challenging. We invariably trip and fall flat on our faces from time to time, make mistakes, act accidentally, harming ourselves and others via the attitudes which we take on. Walking the spiritual path does not exclude these events, but rather is a path where we choose to get back up, dust ourselves off, clean up our mess, take a deep breath and start over, trying again to walk our spiritual path letting go of attack thoughts, attack attitudes and extreme judgements and criticisms.
Our challenge is not to be perfect on our path, but to activate and live from the spiritual qualities which we seek to practice – seeking wisdom and practicing that wisdom; expressing patience with and understanding of the turmoils of human life by letting go of judgment and condemnation of others; practicing kindness, compassion, forgiveness, mercy, whenever we are in life situations where these qualities will help to bring healing to ourselves and others; holding onto higher ideals of brotherhood, Oneness of all life, and answer the challenge of being willing to love and manifest love in our lives; and to pray and meditate as acts to help bring forth greater strength of the presence of God for helping all life.
All of these acts are recognized as being part of a spiritual path, and are ways in which we can choose to cooperate with God, by doing the best we can with the effort we put forth. As I mention above, we are not called to be perfect, but rather do the best we can and keep trying whenever we make our mistakes and trip up, not living up to the higher ideals which we want to have within our life. It is through practicing as best we can, that we get to experience the reality of how challenging life is for all human beings, growing in understanding just how easy it is to fail and fall flat on our face, and how much we need our spiritual help to keep on keeping on.
“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26 ….. including seeing the possibilities of building and strengthening the unity and oneness of the Family of Man. We’re all in this together. All of this is the source of the hope that is innate within the walking of our spiritual path – the hope of healing, and the hope of manifesting Love.
Who is the Anti-Christ? Throughout history, there have certainly been plenty of people who have volunteered their resumes for the position.
But as Edgar Cayce’s readings say, the Anti-Christ is that which we all must deal with within ourselves. The Anti-Christ exists as potential – within us.
The Book of Revelations describes the transformation process which we are to go through – with each of us dealing with each aspect described in Revelations.
Each of us are called via our spiritual paths/evolution, to go through a transformation, through many steps, culminating in the expression of the Christ Spirit within us.
Because we have freewill, each of us then has the decision to walk the path to Christ or enact the Anti-Christ within us. Many do the 1st. And many people instead choose the Anti-Christ consciousness to grow within themselves.
This is by way of allowing ourselves to express always greater amounts of selfishness, self-importance, disregard for others, hatred, fear, separation, untruths, and more. These qualities are available to be developed within each person. Each of us has the potential for all of these, and it’s possible that each of us has some part of all of these within us – to deal with as part of our own individuality.
This duality is described as the Light and Darkness within us. The Light is a real essence – One with Love – and is developed from living from this real essence, manifesting Love in many forms and many acts, behaviors and thoughts.
The Darkness is the lack of living from this real essence – acts and behaviors a far distance from Love when these acts, thoughts, behaviors etc., are made manifest.
So, the Antichrist is the one who makes little effort to have Love being a guiding force. The antichrist is the one who seeks self-only above all others.
Throughout history, we have had many people who could have been considered or referred to as embodiment of the Anti-Christ. In humankind’s future, there may be many more. Yet, always, the potential is within us all.
Ultimately, as Christ has mentioned, “I am in you, as the Father is in me.” This points to the presence of the Christ Spirit within every life form in existence.
“Through Him all things were made.” means that the Christ Spirit is the Creative Force of all Infinite Existence. All things created have Christ at its center – the essence of all.
This means that no soul is without the Christ Spirit – the Light of God – to guide us back -sometimes taking this life, sometimes taking a multitude of lives, or longer or shorter – to the Father/Mother God.
We can see this principle and reality also in the phrase, “Hell is not forever and ever, Amen. God is the way out of Hell.” (The Rainbow Cards.) This is true because The One God is Infinite and all life exists within the One that is Infinite, since the Infinite contains all, and therefore through this quality of being Infinite, all things are of the One Consciousness. (Yes, confusing, but still accurate.)
There is no part of anything that does not exist within the Infinite Consciousness of God. Even the embodiment of the Anti-Christ, which is a mindset, a way of thinking, a way of living, a way of treating others, a way of manifesting, – has an innate way back to God – through learning, growing, Loving, being kind, forgiving, showing mercy, showing compassion, understanding, patience, long-suffering, letting go of selfishness and judgment, and many other of the qualities which are born from The Infinite Love of the Infinite Consciousness of God from which we have no separation.
People who are forgiven are changed. Just like we’ve been changed every time we are forgiven. Even when we have no awareness we’ve been forgiven. We would not be on any spiritual path if we had not been forgiven quite often. Others cannot continue their spiritual path completely if we don’t forgive them. Of course, we don’t progress either if we don’t. We release them to go to God on their path. We release ourselves to go walking hand in hand with them on our joined spiritual paths. We cannot forgive others unless we also forgive ourselves and everyone. This means all life is walking hand in hand on our combined spiritual paths. In any given lifetime, we can all stumble, fall, and have the chance to start again. We forgive all so that others can learn how to do it also. With God this is possible to do.
…All hate crimes and violence, and negative vibes cause flooding and tornadoes… right?
A lot of this energy has been waiting to be used up and discharged/healed/resolved for the last 50,000 years. It has an opportunity now to manifest and be used up and finished/resolved. This is a lot from Atlantis’ days with actions from thousands of years, then after Atlantis’ days also. Humanity has chosen violence also, and the energy of this manifests physically, also.
Humanity took on the job of being God, judge and jury, when we all individually ate (and still eat) of the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. We decided (and we still individually decide) that we are equal to God in our ability to assess what is good and evil and then punish who we individually think has done evil. We punish through violence and have so for eons. This includes violent thoughts, and thoughts are things.
Through time, we have sought to add whatever wisdom that we have gained – as best we can to the world to change our world for the better. (Spiritual lesson – “Try to do the best we can with what we have.”) We have made worthwhile changes.
Yet, who among us has grown so high in consciousness as to individually (and eventually collectively) as to decide who or what is good and evil in everyone and everything? Who among us is so wise as to say, “I am everyone’s judge”? None of us, but we do it anyway, even to ourselves. When we do this to anyone, we are doing it to all life, and doing it to our self, all at the same moment, within the same thought, and from the same heart, mind, and soul.
And we can undo it in the same way.
AND, YET!!!
All of this “mess” is our inner homework. We live on the Earth in a world which is a spiritual classroom and spiritual gymnasium, perfectly made for us to practice all spiritual qualities of Loving kindness, patience, compassion, forgiveness, mercy, humility, long-suffering, faith, trust, humor, joy, more patience, charity, understanding, and more patience.
And only one person has made all straight A’s, a perfect score – from 2000 years ago. And so He helps tutor the rest of us, as we continue to learn, grow and evolve our own awareness, consciousness, and understanding. He helps us then to tutor others.
Here in this “mess” is where we practice and learn how to bring forth loving kindness into making real and better relationships, lives and our world. We have lots of homework and we can do it here on Earth, when we are willing.
Do you have any idea when it will be finished. We are losing our country, losing free speech, equity among laws and others. I’m afraid for the country.
No one on Earth is losing God’s presence in their lives, regardless of if we believe or don’t, feel it or don’t, or what paradigm we hold to. This country and all countries are here and gone like all boundaries, or differences which have been in the past. This is a blink in God’s time. Where was the US and today’s world’s nations 10,000 years ago? Where will they be 10,000 years from now? But the souls of 10,000 years ago are here – in different situations, cultures, subgroups and positions. And today’s souls on Earth, many will be here in 10,000 years in different cultures, families, religions and circumstances. And all that is happening is that everyone is continuing to do their work to try to learn love more/grow more and learn from when we stumble more/make more mistakes/have accidents, hurt or be hurt, etc. and all of it in different environments, different bodies, different conditions, circumstances and spiritual laboratories.
No lesson is ever lost. This is the little picture vs. THE BIG PICTURE.
The little picture – our individual, momentary picture will never look good, because it is so limited in it’s scope, or rather we are so limited in our comprehension and understanding of the whole. Only the Big Picture – God’s Whole Picture – includes everyone and everything – rather everyone’s understanding, beliefs, paradigms, comprehension, consciousness, and more even than that. In the case of this Earth and all souls and soul growth, it is true that the whole is MUCH GREATER then the sum of all its parts.
No one will ever lose the freedom to love, to forgive, to be kind or to speak To God (or to cry out to God from the wilderness). Remember, the Earth is not here for human purposes. It is here for God’s purposes. No one can change this. God’s purpose is always Love and from that Love, Unity and Oneness.
I know God’s purpose has to win eventually.
Not “eventually”. It has always been in place. We just don’t have all understanding to be aware of this. There is no opposition to worry about this. This is not the battlefield humanity thinks it is. It is a classroom. But humanity has only gone half way with regards to what this Earth can offer.
This being a classroom is why our enlightenment is to be. It is why Love is to be. It is why our awareness of our Oneness with God is to be. God wills it. For all. Even those who we individually judge to be SO WRONG!!! (Our classmates, and gym partners, but then of course, judge ourselves to be wrong – from their point of consciousness.)
Who knew? This classroom is hard to [be a part of] without getting involved.
LOL. You got that right! :-)
But, we can be involved. That’s why we need each other. We need one another to help each other – to hold each other’s hand while we walk our paths of life and learning. We stumble and fall, – and – holding hands as we walk our paths to live our lives, helping one another, will always demonstrate the best to each other, and to let our hearts’ Love guide our learning.
*******
“Many souls have traveled in the area of 15, 20, and even 25 million years to be in the Earth to do this spiritual learning and work of Loving Kindness for others and ourselves, in this Earth.
The old ways of thinking are dying – the days of the past being the way we live life, with its past behaviors and thinking being the acceptable behaviors and thinking – are fewer and fewer. The old ways of living for selfishness and self-centeredness with our own self being our only center of life, are dying.
The sun is setting on the consciousness of the past – survival of the fittest – force and might winning all battles – violence serving and used to get what one wants. Like the passage of the day into night and the night into day, these changes are happening.
For any who have eyes to see it, these will see it. For those who do not have the eyes to see it – the consciousness to recognize it, or the mind to grasp it, these will not see it. Or rather, each will see according to one’s own willingness and capacity. Everyone has different willingness and capacities to see what is coming and what is leaving us.
It’s time to change or we find ourselves turning to being like dinosaurs. Many are helping the process to change towards qualities like tolerance and respect – both on this side of the veil and on the other side of the veil – both working to make the veil thinner and thinner until it ceases to exist, which will also be an evolutionary process. Those who can think to look for different ways of relating like cooperation and open-mindedness, and looking for new ideas like listening rather than screaming, who can look for ways to adapt and practice new concepts like kindness and compassion to bring forth that which serves all of humanity in better ways – adapting to changes like goodwill, self-reflection and inclusion happening, even during this minute which just passed, will awaken to even more of a new dawn and a greater age of Humankind which will last for a very long time.
The young ones and those born today, will never see the world we grew up in. That world of yesterday, yesteryear and yester-decade and yester-century are gone… and never coming back. Ever. For example, we have seen this in our own time with the worlds of our pasts, and on backwards, never returning. (Many try to bring these whole worlds back, but they do not succeed.) Even the entire physical Universe evolves and is moving past what it was long ago.
If we keep to the effort of change within ourselves, recognizing that self-change contributes to world-change, considering goodwill and the betterment for all of humanity and all of life, we will walk through a door into a world in which we will be able to become evermore aware of why there is hope.
God is greater than any force or movement in the Earth which on the surface appears to be opposing our spiritual evolution manifesting in the material world. God’s will is for us to grow, learn, love, and live life. God is committed to this and God’s Will comes about. Always with love and kindness, always with wisdom and understanding, and always with support, patience and persistence.
And… always God with the greater awareness of the path that has been and is yet to be walked.
We won’t recognize all of it, but like those on the other side, working with us, this ‘big picture’ reality is THE reality. All are destined to learn this, but not all at the same time, and never will freewill be taken away – meaning the freewill of when to learn this. Like the depth of water that changes in a swimming pool, as we change our place in the pool, gaining in skill, we are given the opportunity to learn to gain from our experiences and our changes – going ever more into greater paradigms, greater experiences, and greater understanding.
For this is also our souls’ evolution and our souls’ destiny – to live all of life in all arenas knowing we are the spiritual children of the One Infinite Consciousness of Love and Unity – God.
“I have been suicidal many times in my life. I have studied metaphysics most of my life. I believe that we, along with our guides, plan our next incarnation and the lessons we will take on. If we and our guides plan our next incarnation, can suicide be written into our ‘blueprint’? If so, would this being planned ahead of rebirth, doesn’t that alleviate the bad karma associated with suicide? It seems if it is planned it is part of our spiritual evolution, yes? Or maybe it is the big picture and the bad karma is part of the learning process as well.” V.
I will start this way. You’re asking about a larger topic than you might think. I could write several books to explain. The real answers, or rather, the answers I see and offer, will take one far beyond the questions and topics you are asking about. I do not have every facet and issue related to suicide. I can only offer that which I see.
So, here we go.
Part 1 of 3: Of the Heart
First, I suggest that there are very few people who have not thought of suicide. It is part of the realities of human life. But, suicide is not just a “mind” thing. It is not a “logical” thing. It can be and is a “heart surrounded in unrealized and unrecognized emotions” thing. It can be a “feelings unknowingly overwhelming a person” thing. When injured, harmed or ill, rational thought and logic does not heal the mind.
Secondly, from a different take on it, I will offer that one of the practical spiritual lessons of experiencing the desire to end our life, is to reach a point in our own consciousness where we step back and begin to understand how any human being at all can reach a point in one’s life where we desire to end our life in suicide. When whatever has come forth in life to move us to reach this point in our own life where we desire suicide, we can begin to understand how others can reach points in their life, where they desire it. Ultimately, this practical lesson, can help us to begin to have the compassion within us for others who turn to suicide as their solution. This growing compassion and understanding can serve us greatly as humans in this world leading us to ever more ways to connect to those who are struggling and suffering with suicidal thoughts.
If we had been judgemental in past lives about people who commit suicide – and many have been extremely judgemental about this, especially the Churches through the centuries – then us now having these feelings gives us a very real perspective to help us have compassion of how difficult it is to deal with this.
This awareness, deeper understanding, and connection are no small things. We gain when we can learn and understand what it’s like for human beings to be human beings with real human turmoil, loss and pain, etc. which can lead to this choice. As humans, the questions related can deal with the despair we feel, the grief we feel, the sorrow and suffering we feel, the experience of being lost in life, the disconnection from others we may experience, as well as the pain of loss of that which we hoped for and sought in our lives. And not all of this is necessarily recognized in our conscious mind all at once. We can be unaware of what drives our considering/grasping at suicide.
When we reach what feels to be the darkest place in our minds and hearts – and possibly finding it to be one of the most alone places within ourselves – then it can become possible to be able to understand why we think that ending our life might end the feelings, sorrow, grief, despair, loss and whatever else which may contribute. Although reaching this newly recognized understanding of humanity from this experience is a seemingly small idea, it has a very big effect on the connecting process of many human hearts. We can easily find that we believe that ending the human experience will end whichever deep black-hole we experience ourselves in.
When we become more aware of this human experience, we can then see what drives humans to believe that stopping this life must be a solution. We can see what drives us humans to WANT the ending of this life to be a solution.
There is loss which we can go through, which we can’t readily identify. We can feel grief which we don’t know where it comes from. We can feel sorrow and pain which we have no understanding why. There are losses in our life – loss of our hope for better in our lives, loss of our intentions, loss of our dreams, loss of our desires, loss of our beliefs about life, and loss of our valuing of different parts of life and on and on. All of these aspects of life are very important to us and for humans, loss of ever kind is felt deeply and impacts our hearts and minds. We even feel it in our bodies.
In our physical life in the physical universe and in our spiritual life in the spiritual realm, it is ourselves who are the voices crying out in the wilderness. We cry out from that place within our own unfinished heart and, as yet, not-fully-discovered mind.
But, coming from this crying out in the wilderness, sometimes, one day in the healing process, we can slowly, slowly learn and recognize the notion that we would never feel any of these things unless we first had an ability to somehow and somewhere have the capacity to grasp there is a God and there is love existing somewhere, and grasping at any/all of this comes from inside our own self – from inside our own heart and from inside our own soul. It is the love patiently waiting and tucked away inside us – and the suffering we recognize we go through connected to a love we can’t even remember – which originally led us to hope earlier on, to have better intentions and beliefs, and to value whatever in life we have found valuable – and have these at the beginnings of our sojourns to experience being human – at the very beginning of our life or lives.
It is the love inside of us which we so many times forget, with having forgotten the awareness that love is our very nature and the center of our life. Yet, the Love at our core of life can help us to find ways, with others’ help, to walk a “seeking for healing” path which can lead, in turn, to reconnecting, communing, and sharing with others, in their lives. It can be these moments, in turn, when we hope that our own healing path of slowly discovering our center, again, that our core awareness of love could help us help our neighbor to come to know they are able to find themselves loved and able to love, eventually, too, thus connecting to an unending circle of help, and then even giving us opportunities to express the compassion we begin to find within us and we have heretofore been relearning (even from the seed of compassion within which we can have for our self.)
All our spiritual lessons will always be centered on and born from loving God, and loving others. Christ’s words, “Love God above all else, and love your neighbor as yourself”, are the words which are the foundation of every spiritual discovery and healing principle. All spiritual teachings flow from the spring of this pure source. For not only is it true that God is Love, but Love is God – the God energy and the God center. Love is healing because of this.
Our struggles, our pains and our sorrows many times involve, at some level within us, our forgetting that we are asked to bring love with us as we walk through our life, (sometimes one life at a time, one day at a time, and one moment at a time), so that we can know this love is within us, this love can grow within us, and that we can never be separated from this inner healing love. It can never NOT exist as our very being and essence – even if we’re totally clueless about this reality. In addition, in turn, then when we can consider helping another life to learn before their time is up – that they are loved and they now, might know how deep love can reach into every part of us, and out from every deep part of us.
All of us are ambassadors of some kind – whether of harm or of healing. We can be ambassadors of healing, if we are willing to love even one other life, and through the sorrow, the pain, the grief, the despair that we all have known and still know and go through, realize that through all this, we can still love someone or something in life. We can still love, even when we ourselves are on our cross with the nails through our hands and feet, and with the sword piercing our own heart. We can still love when we are in our deepest pain. In turn, any love we give to another is indeed the savior of both of us – is indeed the greatest lesson we can hope to one day grasp – to love God and others – and in turn, this leading to loving the Oneness of all life which begins within our own individual nature.
Loving is always a choice and can be chosen even when we’re on our own cross and we ask, “Father, please forgive us, for we don’t know what we’re doing.” The act of loving is an act of healing and is the act of giving of our self for the benefit of helping others to heal, beginning from ourselves and expanding to more than ourselves.
***
We are the voices crying out in the wilderness, “God, please, help me!!!” We are the voices crying out, “I don’t understand!” We are the voices suffering. We are the ones whose tears create streams within our soul so that healing waters, the water of love, may begin to flow forth.
We love, and because we love, we experience sorrow and grief, loss, pain and despair. Just ask any parent who loves their child as that child grows and struggles through life. And in these moments of our strongest pain, we know what it means to need help, and we know what it means, when we realize we’re not alone in these feelings, and we’re not alone in the very moment of needing help.
It is the human condition to know sorrow, pain, loss and despair – a few of many triggers for suicide. Yet, when we are nailed upon our own cross, the challenge is at the greatest – to decide to end our life and take ourselves down off the cross, or instead to turn to the one on the cross next to us, reaching over to Him asking to be remembered, or to let someone else know that today, we/they are together with our/their crosses, in the same way that He remembers us to let us know that on our cross, we are with Him and He is with us. And He will never leave us or forsake us when we are on the life path we walk.
Our greatest lesson is Love and in loving, to join with each other and show whomever comes into our lives that love is real, and love can exist in our life. We are meant to both give Love and receive Love. We are not alone – we are meant to become one more person who can come to learn to love and learn to be loved. In turn, because we can choose to love and seek to show love in real ways, then we are united, and then no longer alone in our life. When we love, we are not alone. In this joining based on loving, we are then in that better place we have always been seeking since the beginning of all times.
It may seem disconnected to the response, but I’ll add this…
God designed us to need one another… and to learn this is a great lesson learned.
“I have been suicidal many times in my life. I have studied metaphysics most of my life. I believe that we, along with our guides, plan our next incarnation and the lessons we will take on. If we and our guides plan our next incarnation, can suicide be written into our ‘blueprint’? If so, would this being planned ahead of rebirth, doesn’t that alleviate the bad karma associated with suicide? It seems if it is planned it is part of our spiritual evolution, yes? Or maybe it is the big picture and the bad karma is part of the learning process as well.” V.
Part 2 of 3: Of The Mind
2A:
Depression plays a large part with many suicide decisions. There are an extremely large number of factors which add to depression. Anger, disillusionment, addictions, feelings of being condemned, disappointments, and so many more. I will focus this article on only one of the many. What I will mention here is high expectations of people, of our self, of God, of spirituality, of circumstances, of our understanding of life and of more – both conscious expectations and unconscious expectations.
This is a very seemingly simple facet – seemingly simple in understanding and simple in any depth within the psyche. However, expectations can be buried deep in the unconscious – even coming from our past lives and the beliefs, attitudes and experiences we had during those times. So, with high expectation, too often we are not recognizing or acknowledging that, our expectations of life are driving our perspectives, our beliefs, our hopes, dreams, attitudes, feelings, our subconscious and ultimately our behaviors and decisions when these expectations aren’t followed through or fulfilled – by our self, others, the world or even God and religion.
This non-fulfillment of so many conscious and unconscious expectations can become overwhelming to our spirit and soul. One missing piece of helpful awareness when dealing with a soul’s expectations of existence and life, simply put, is the lack of prayer. No person, no life can grow within through this physical life without God. (I’ll explain this more, a little later.) Prayer – which I define as a reaching for the hand of God – both FOR our self FROM others and FROM our self FOR others is one of the greater catalysts for this connection. We tend to have our highest and most hidden inner expectations of that to which, or for whom, we don’t pray. Beginning this path of exploration and discovery in a simple way – we can begin to see that with our expectations being high, we tend to not consider prayer to be needed or deserved.
I’ll repeat what I just wrote – no person or life can grow within, through life – without God – and with prayer, either for us or from us, we are helped more readily. There are plenty of us who have thought or do think we can go through life without prayer, and plenty that do, but then on the other hand, few of us ever know who has been praying for us, or is praying for us even now as we read this article. In addition, those who are prayed for are helped more readily than those who are not prayed for.
When we don’t include prayer, we are not giving ourselves or others the very real and best help which is needed to face the challenges and difficulties, problems and pain of human life. God created us to need one another. God created us to need Love, prayer, and the Infinite Love of God. We so often tell ourselves that we don’t need any of this. Sure enough, we can exist thinking this way, but denying reality – in this case, denying our spiritual reality begins the path of many serious inner problems. Some of these problems lead us to believe that suicide is a solution. Others of these problems lead us down the road of many destructive and harmful actions – including killing others, as well.
But, existing is not the same as living a growing, evolving life. Exploring our spiritual reality begins the path of enrichment and connection (which is very difficult to make objective – what with it being so personal and unique.) Individually, we can awaken to wonders, connections, and healing beyond what we previously imagined or thought, living a life we had not yet been aware to even think possible – which is why it is more a subjective path rather than an objective path. In addition, the eventual connection to and communing/exploring spirituality with others can show us that there are a lot of us subjective spiritual-path walkers around and connecting up. Yet, at the same time, walking our spiritual path, opens up a whole other box of expectations – related to our religious expectations, our own soul expectations, our expectations of the spiritual path itself, and our expectations of God and spiritual teachers.
When we pray for ALL, and continue to pray for ALL, we can begin to recognize that we are all equal – all life is equal in being valuable, all life is equal in our needs, and all life is equal in importance to and loved by the Consciousness of Infinite and Unending Love – God. We can recognize that All life is worthy of and in need of being prayed for.
We also realize that our prayers may not be easily seen as being helpful. Yet, with continued willingness to and practicing of having faith in God, in others and in our own prayers, the help to face our days’ problems can begin to be felt, and sometimes seen. We can grow to see that our daily life is where we build our relationship with an active God – active in our efforts – who is ready to help us in growing and learning – instead of having the expectation that all of life should be easy and wonderful by default with few prayers and little or no effort.
Part 2B.
[To the questioner] There are several aspects which you mention in your statements which you present and describe here showing what I would consider either a misunderstanding or an incomplete understanding. These aspects are – the planning of our future lives, and the understanding of karma. There are facets of each which you haven’t mentioned which sometimes don’t get considered.
First, consider the concept of “planning of our future lives”, as being a synonym for soul evolution. Now, consider perhaps that there is much more to the “planning” of our future lives, than we are aware of while living our human lives. In addition, planning of each life does not happen at the Earth level in the 5-senses human consciousness level. It cannot take into account the cosmos of who we are, and how each level of our Higher Consciousness must also be involved – something that does not happen at the human level.
Our soul evolution does not get planned by our self. We cannot evolve our self, simply because we don’t have in our human consciousness that awareness of and growth which evolution would lift us into. The highest of consciousness is the guiding force helping us to bring forth our evolution of all things, including levels of consciousness which we cannot physically and psychically hold within our human minds as a human species.
Like the call for a step/leap of faith, we do not consciously have much of that next realm within our minds which we step/leap into, when faith is required. If we did have it in our consciousness, we would not need faith to open our minds beyond our own self-established limits. But, for us to be willing and then to step up into our next level of consciousness, we step off in faith into that which we haven’t yet integrated into our understanding.
The baby being born has not previously been in the world it is being born into. The baby cannot birth him/herself. Higher forces must bring the baby forth, because the baby does not understand the experience and aspects of it. The baby has no concept of any experience except being within it’s one original environment provided by another being – also of which it knows very little.
Humanity, is not at the point where we understand and know all there is to know on the Earth. Our spirit guides, though helpful with the life we live and with seeing future lives, are not the first or last word in spiritual evolution. For they too, are evolving spiritually, and they only can share their own path’s experiences up to that level of growth they’ve reached, with each individual’s path still being subjective to that individual.
Still, our guides of every kind, are indeed helpful, because they sometimes can contribute to guidance from a point of advantage. Just remember, that our guides are many times, many, many times, our friends and family members who we’ve known in life and in previous lives. Likewise, they may be angels, but angels also are on spiritual paths of growth.
The question to consider along with other questions then is: are these the souls we seek to be our source of higher consciousness guidance when they may not have yet gained to the point of providing a comprehensive perspective for a soul-path that is not their own. Who among us knows what is best for another soul? We tend to not always know what is best for ourselves, much less someone else.
Advice we get and give, personally, comes only from that level of learning and growth which we, ourselves, each have reached, and not from the levels of learning and growth which we, yet, have little understanding – in other words, it comes from our own subjective paradigm. Ultimately, who do we approach seeking help on our spiritual path, Aunt Sarah and her understandings, or the Christ within? Both are helpful, or can be. But, each has a different capacity into which their understanding and wisdom expands.
“I went on to visit your website, and I came across your March 4 prediction regarding the Russian/Ukrainian war, where you wrote about it lasting about 6 weeks, with the adversaries sitting down at the table in April, to talk over the end, and finally the Russians leaving in June. …. [I have] a desire to understand why the March prediction was so far away from the truth.” P.
This is a very worthwhile topic to write about. There is a big hole in the general understanding of what Psychic Ability is and what it isn’t. I will use my past posted information as the focus to add more information about why predictions sometimes don’t happen as first described. There are many more misunderstandings than there are understandings. What I’ll try to do here is give an overview of many of the influencing factors and forces which are involved with presenting psychic predictions and the predictions then not being fulfilled. I won’t cover everything, because that would require a library full of books, but I’ll address some main points using the Russian/Ukraine war as a good example.
First, there are a number of factors which can contribute to information not “lining up”, including the normal role played by differing personal beliefs, personal perspectives, personally understanding the readings differently than was intended, and many other personal influences which color the passing information from one person to another, including when I have trouble seeing due to my own state of mind and body. These are not the main things which I have seen in this case. These factors can be dealt with as a reading happens, and so they don’t always have to interfere as much as people might think. (They do many times interfere, but they can be dealt with during the reading if one becomes aware of them in time.)
(Sidenote: A basic premise to set the foundation is that psychic reading can be like being in a library, having someone ask a question and then going to find the appropriate book (information) on its shelf. For anyone who has ever been in a library, this metaphor is a good way of understanding the extraction of psychic information. The more specific the questions, the more specific the answers will be.)
***
In the case of the R/U war, what I’ve seen impacting the predictions is the significant drop in the prayers for the Ukrainians. Prayer is massively powerful but is dependent on how many pray and for how long. Prayer generates changes. In this case, I psychically read one timeline at the beginning of the war, when there is a great focus and many prayers by the whole world onto Putin’s invasion of the Ukraine nation.
This invasion had people around the world praying and as time went on, people around the world prayed less and less, soon moving their focus on to many of the other things of life which also needed attention. Less and less the media attention was having the war being upfront of all other news. Less and less media coverage thereafter influenced less and less attention from the world of people. This type of diminishing (or increasing) process influenced changes in the timeline we are existing in and therefore the outcome. With freewill, there are infinite timelines on the many decisions to pray or not to pray.
But, since freewill is always a truly dominant force and factor, with people (of their own freewill) deciding what to do every day, pray or not pray, focus on the R/U war or not , the timeline changes every day. The overall impact of prayer and meditations IS significant and real. Fortunately, in general, those who regularly pray will continue to impact events in positive ways. We are reminded in the Bible that the prayers of a few will save many. Prayers really do change the future. But, freewill will never be taken away.
When I psychically read events, I’m reading one timeline and don’t completely take into account billions of people’s individual choices of whether to pray or not pray. Because of freewill of billions of people, the timelines can massively change and causes the predictions to be overwhelmed with information rendering it unhelpful and inaccurate. Believe me, all this information – the past decisions, patterns of decisions, and potential decisions of billions of people every day, are all available in the Akashic Records – to be read. It’s part of the paradigm of reading psychic information. The way to handle this is by pulling out from individual levels and move to a level of reading humanity as a whole. The best description or metaphor I can give in reading humanity as a whole is like calculating statistical predictions – in this case, the describing of the path of the greatest human-invested energy which comes from focusing on the topic and having an inner intent for the direction the topic takes.
Confusing? Yes, sometimes, but information is available to be psychically given pointing to a strongest possible outcome. All the while, one must recognize (and I’ll always mention this) that no force can put aside freewill of the individual – not stars or planets or anything else. These and other forces exist but freewill was given by God and will not be taken away. All the behavioral patterns, intentions, impulses, habits, and compulsions are part of our making choices, but not as strong as freewill.
Centuries and millennia of doing one thing does not erase that a person can change their direction and decide some other action, intention, belief, thought or feeling at any second. The questions arise – will Adam and Eve choose to pick the fruit? Will Judas choose to betray Jesus? Will Jesus choose to follow God’s will to the cross?
No one is a machine, and no decision or choice is 100% destined to be made no matter how strongly indicated, and so freewill is a factor in all of these situations. We always have a choice on how we relate or behave towards another person. We are not destined to harm or kill, or even love or forgive someone. We make the choice of our own freewill.
So with the war, in any writing or sharing of information, I’ve begun listing the time range, when the earliest something could happen and when the latest something could happen. This takes into account the fluctuation which can happen with human choices. Then with this, the day I give readings, I will get potentially different or slightly different information than on another day. The information is for the timeline which begins on the day of the reading. A future day could be a different timeline.
Because predictions involving people will always have freewill as a factor, if a person chooses the same decision 99 times out of 100, the prediction can be accurate except for the one time when something causes the person to choose the other choice. When we take into account that a person is constantly changing who we are from one moment to the other simply by existing and living life throughout time, we are not the equivalent to the other “ourselves” during any of the 100 times. We are a slightly different total person with each of the 100 times we make a decision. With all those decisions where 50% of the time we choose one way and 50% of the time we choose the other, we open up quite a lot of possibilities with all the factors yet to be chosen – and then predicted.
There’s always going to be freewill choices impacting when something happens, because people change their minds and change their attention onto something else. Sometimes focusing on many different important things at once. People are not one or two dimensional beings. We are multidimensional – even beyond three dimensional beings. As such there are billions of factors that go into making the sum of the human consciousness, and all of who we are tends to be who makes our decisions.
SET IN ROCK
Everything in the past up to and including the present is recorded in the Akashic Records. Now – there are some events with a path that is so “set in rock” that the event is in almost all timelines with a great strength of the forces bringing it, but there are some that fluctuate and can change regularly. For example, the thought process for imagining and then putting down on paper, then gathering people and building plans for this war, are all information through the years leading up to a very high possibility, almost all “set in rock” that the war would happen. The intention for traveling this road by those in authority has been so strong, and subordinates followed the will of the leader to carry it out.
As I give predictions, I’m giving what I see as the greatest energy towards being decided or happening – the timeline holding the strongest amount of energy. This energy coming forth is en route to manifesting into the physical realm. The energy is built in the minds, hearts, thoughts, actions, intentions, and hope of those who pursue this. Even at the last minute, before he gave the order to invade, Putin could have chosen to not invade.
MY INTENTION
At the same time, when dealing with this war, and other events based on human choices, I work to offer hope. I also work to give the most possible outcome at that moment in time with the stipulation “if all things stay the same, this will happen” – the timeline will stay in this direction. But, things don’t stay the same, and didn’t – people stop praying, decisions are reconsidered, other forces change, etc. and therefore the timeline is then changed.
THE MOUNTAIN METAPHOR
Seeing the future is like looking down on someone driving a road, and I’m up on a mountain. I see where they’re at, and I see how their road has many possible directions and forks. I see their patterns of choosing directions in the past, and I then see their possible intention and route. Many times, there’s also a percentage of times where they choose A and a percentage of times they choose B.
I see the prediction they are intending this time, knowing that the future can change, because they could choose A, B, or even create C, D or E. Since, human beings currently tend to be creatures of habit, and we tend to grow up learning what we like and what we don’t like, I make my prediction – knowing the freewill past choices, and that the chosen outcome could change based on information not even yet created.
Wars are ever-changing and can be challenging to predict what will happen. Hence why giving time ranges for beginnings and endings does help – as time ranges incorporate many changes in decisions about the beginnings, decisions about in-betweens and decisions leading to the endings. Since many psychics see similar information as well as different perspectives from within different psychological filters, then some psychics might predict different outcomes. The understanding and interpretations of the outcomes can also mean different predictions can all be considered to come true.
Earth (physical landmass) events and sometimes elections are a little easier, because the influencing factors are in place for a more long-term time period, and “the road choices” are fewer. Many voters make decisions long before the elections or are predisposed to vote a certain way for many years. At the same time, many times the future changes, and therefore even in this situation, I work to stay current to psychically read from each new timeline. To be very precise, all information up to the moment of psychically reading the information is permanently recorded in the Akashic Records, and the information for the predictions for the future comes from the past and present – yet, pointing at the future. But, then there are also spiritually-planned events which can be inserted into timelines. These come from sources of great power and energy and are not very easily changed, if at all.
THE BOOK OF JONAH
The Book of Jonah describes when God gives Jonah the task of going to Nineveh and telling them of their impending destruction because of their evil ways. The people of Nineveh heed the warning and change their ways. Because of their spiritual efforts to change, God does not destroy Nineveh. Jonah is upset because it didn’t happen. God chastised Jonah for his attitude about Nineveh, the predictive warning, and God’s not destroying Nineveh. This Bible story speaks to the spiritual efforts – prayer and meditation among others – which can change the future. In our day and time, with the R/U war, we can also see that the whole world is aware of and impacted by the war. Greater numbers of prayers can and do change the future. But, all the people of the whole world have freewill to choose to pray or not pray.
MISTAKES CAN BE MADE
An example of one of my mistakes is this: I made a large mistake in 2006 when I was predicting a hurricane to hit Texas. In 2002, I psychically saw a 2006 hurricane coming into the area my family lived in Texas. Because of hurricane Rita in 2005, millions of prayers came for the Gulf coast and the people of the Gulf coast. I did not purposefully and psychically look for or perceive the prayers. I didn’t go looking for that book in the library. I did not check on the timeline change and therefore continued to read the 2002 timeline I originally psychically saw.
The 2006 hurricane season all but disappeared altogether. I was very confused, because I knew that I was accurate with what I had seen in 2002 – a hurricane in 2006. I was confident in my reading. So, I went back and looked at why it didn’t happen. That’s when I saw the overwhelming numbers of prayers (many from Utah) seeking the Christ Spirit’s help so strongly and therefore brought forth after hurricane Rita hit, that the Christ energy protected the Gulf in 2006 and 1/2 of 2007. I also remember the meteorologists not understanding this quiet time.
Then there’s an event like the pandemic, which I saw, but did not recognize what I was seeing. When it happened, I psychically saw something and didn’t have a conscious paradigm in which to identify what I saw. The nearest interpretation I had of what I saw was a “swarm”, but it was not a swarm of insects. This was metaphorically like a case of being introduced to a brand new psychic “word” I’ve never seen before and not knowing what the word means. (I’m not referring to the word “pandemic”.)
NUANCES OF PREDICTING
Interestingly enough, I did look back in my past predictions and at the beginning of the time I started this blog (in the 2000’s), I had indeed seen and predicted a virus coming out of China, spreading around the world, and wrote it up as a blog article. But, I was way off on the year – 10-12 years off. When I saw it, back in the first decade of this century, I even thought it was such a science fiction vision, that I had difficulty accepting it.
With regards to TIME, I, as a psychic, do have to work a bit harder when working with TIME questions. I understand this problem as being because TIME is a mental construct in the physical universe and not an ultimate spiritual reality, therefore I am trying to identify what the TIME period is based on looking into the spiritual realm to find physical connections. While it is possible and does get identified, the experience metaphorically can be like trying to identify the thin line between where rainbow colors begin or end.
READING A BOOK
“Reading” is also much like reading a book, with the book changing or not changing its words according to many factors, (ie. the personal paradigms of the psychics for one) and so much like looking at maps for directions to choose from. There are many things in our future that are all but set in rock, like so many of us going to school when we are children, and so many things that are flexible to manifest like how we treat and relate to one another.
Choosing to war upon someone else is always flexible. How we relate to one another is not destined but rather a choice. We can consciously choose how we relate to each other OR we can subconsciously just react habitually, or prejudicially as a way to relate to other people. This is true on the individual AND the national level.
As I’ve mentioned previously, I share to people that Judas had freewill and could have chosen to not betray Jesus. Judas’ decision to betray Jesus was based on his self-importance leading him to believe that he knew better than Jesus how to proceed with Jesus’ purpose in the Earth. This came from past lives, with one as a prince in the Middle East – a prince who also had been a strong student of spiritual teachings with a strong penchant for making decisions for all his own subjects. As a member of the Zealot group, he believed Jesus should take the Earthly throne. He tried to force Jesus to take the Earthly throne rather than the Spiritual throne, by forcing a Roman and Jesus “showdown”. He did not realize Jesus would not participate in any “showdown”. (At the same time, all the Apostles had their unique issues/shortcomings to face and work to overcome. Not just Judas.)
But, Jesus’ path was set in rock so strongly, (given to Him during His life as Enoch) because His intention was to fulfill God’s Will, whatever God’s Will may be. Jesus’ intention was to fulfill God’s path for Him to the cross. This means that a different way could and would have had to happen for Jesus to be arrested, had Judas let go of his self-importance and not betrayed Jesus, but the path to the cross for Jesus would still have happened (the spiritual reasons of which could fill many libraries of books and still only scratch the surface to bring an understanding). A different set of proceedings would have brought it about.
It really does get interesting to see all the infinite number of timelines and possible choices available to us as a planet of billions of people, (and a seemingly infinite number of other life forms) and my task which I work at, is to tell what I see at any given moment knowing that it may mostly happen that way, but it’s rarely if not 100% guaranteed. The future is almost perfectly changeable where freewill is the determining factor.
For myself, this speaks more for the need for prayers and meditations to help bring a stronger presence of Spiritual help for people to hopefully gain a stronger sense of what our better choices are. For me, it brings a stronger focus onto ourselves and the decisions we make – whether we make choices as undeveloped children or as more mature adults. It is not always difficult to recognize which is which, but unfortunately, it’s after we realize what choice we made – after the event happens, that we sometimes realize we could have chosen better.
MORE NUANCES
Another example of a prediction nuance is when, in October, 2012, during a group public reading with people asking public questions, I reported that I saw the Republicans win in 2016, but when 2016 came along, everyone was seeing Hillary Clinton winning by a landslide. In the previous decade (2000’s), per another private reading, I saw that Hillary Clinton would never become president. Knowing that the future can change, I did not push these predictions because so as to give any voters reading my predictions the benefit of time. I also wanted to see what was going to happen.
In 2012, I also saw the Republican candidate having only 1 term. The information (the energy manifesting to bring this about) was very, very clear and strongly in place. In the years leading up to 2020, I ALWAYS saw Trump’s chance of winning being 0%, until 2 days before the election when his chance of winning went up to 3%, meaning that if we had 100 elections of the same situation, 3 of them would have had Trump winning. All because people constantly have freewill to make decisions as to which direction to go. And people use all the information (conscious and unconscious information) they can gather within themselves in order to consciously and unconsciously make these decisions.
Dear P., (the person who presented this topic) for what it’s worth, you need never hesitate to challenge me and question me in areas like this. There is always an answer as to why things come into existence or happen like they do. There is an answer as to why I see what I do, and there is always something to learn in the process – for everyone involved. If nothing else, we’ll learn something in the process. I am certainly learning all the time in doing this work.
I believe psychic reading, in general, may be similar to this set of descriptions or somewhat similar for many who do predict. Sometimes, things are set in rock – sometimes, softly set in soft rock, or set in mud – and some even set firmly in the dust in the wind. It is also true that many of us may not fully understand this whole psychic process. Some things in the future are easily changeable (smaller events) and some take millions of people praying to change them (The Russian/Ukraine war). [All prayers change things.]
I know that our own (psychic readers) hopes and wishes can get in the way of accuracy in identifying what we read, and our own beliefs and desires can still get in the way, hence why some psychics predicted Trump to win in 2020. The beliefs of millions of people are also in the Akashic Records and can be strong enough to nearly “look like” the energy ready to manifest, as opposed to just being “beliefs”, and therefore confuse the psychic reader.
I have to pray constantly for help in being honest with myself, which I believe helps, because this process challenges me to accept what I see and sense as being what is going to happen. I work to accept what I see with me having my own feelings and emotions ABOUT what I see (and then begin my praying). Because of this aspect of psychically reading, it helps considerably for any reader to examine ourselves within our own mind, constantly – to check in with ourselves whether we are working to be honest with our own self, so as to be as clear and accurate as possible for those for whom we are reading. Whenever people sought a reading from Edgar Cayce, the request was made to the client to be in a quiet state of prayer, if possible, when the reading was being done.
Because there are many reasons why predictions don’t always come true, there is sometimes little trust or belief in psychic ability and people who practice this work – because of the belief that it should all be exact and precise. If it is not, it is not real or useful. But this belief shows more of a misunderstanding of what it is and what is happening.
While I consider this work useful and hopefully helpful to people, I try to help people understand that psychic information should not take the place of a person’s own sense of their learning to be able to make healthy and wise decisions. Spiritual help is meant to come as another source of advice and additional information, and never as a command.
Finally, the hard part….
I still see so much suffering in the world, and I have to stay honest with myself about this suffering to be as accurate as possible. I don’t wish to minimize or ignore the suffering in the world. And so I try to see roads/paths where there is less suffering and what it takes to reach that timeline. Hence sometimes I’ll add, “If we keep on praying for the Ukrainian people, at the same level of praying that we’ve been doing – a high level, then we will see a shorter war”. But, I don’t always add that. This is sometimes to encourage people to not get distracted focusing on the next thing in the news. I do this to help support people to keep praying. However, human nature is still human nature, and even after asking, Jesus couldn’t keep his followers awake when He went to pray before He was taken into custody. So, always remember, every sincere prayer, truly helps.
I describe praying to be like rowing a boat. It takes a lot of people rowing to change the direction of a massive ocean ship, but it takes only one person or a few people rowing to change the direction of a tiny row boat. This metaphor applies to forces impacting the future, and therefore, predictions of the future. There are 8 billion people on the planet and 8 billion people making decisions every day. The diversity of intentions for those decisions has a strong influence on what paths/roads are chosen and then what energy manifests as the future events. God does not force any of us to pray, to meditate, to send light and love, or respond to each other with loving kindness, mercy or patience, (and more). We choose for ourselves with our own intentions.
We do have the chance on this planet to help bring a quicker ending to the war and to change any potential future. My hopeful message is that there really REALLY!! are many, many, MANY!!! things we have already healed and resolved through prayer and meditation, but many more that we don’t have enough prayers to completely heal and resolve.
Every reason and influence is possible as to why things change and why what I see does or does not happen. Every single reason including that I’m still a student of this work even though I’ve been doing it for many lifetimes, and was born with this ability. It’s true for me, too. I do my best, but I recognize there are limitations, because we’re still in human form. I always hope I’m helpful and I’m okay with doing the best I can with what I have. I’ll keep plugging away at giving my best and learning as best as I can.
I do mention to people, that if what I say doesn’t match what one’s inner voice is saying, go with the inner voice. Like I mentioned previously, psychic information is just one more source of many sources of information for every individual. The Bible does say, (somewhere) to have many teachers, many advisors and to not lean only on our own understanding. Psychic information should not be considered a commandment or directive from on high unless the inner voice within one’s own heart says the same thing. Instead consider psychic information to serve as an advisor.
So, P., your concerns and questions are always welcome. You’re not the first to address this, and I can psychically see that you won’t be the last :-) .

EXTRA NOTES
*** The amount of time leading up to an event or choice impacts the strength of the prediction of a choice. As an example, someone – a dedicated student, with support at home – going through grades 1-11, has a higher possible prediction of going to grade 12 in high school and graduating. Whereas, someone with little support at home, who has a history of skipping school, or having other troubles in early life, has a lower possible prediction of continuing to grade 12 and graduating. The difference is the valuing of and intention of choosing one particular future path (viewing it as realistic for themselves) – finishing high school, rather than the less-valuing of the path for themselves of finishing high school viewing other paths as being more realistic. The paths of past experiences impact the intentions and the valuing of choices, and therefore, influences the future choices one makes.
*** Cain had the choice not to kill Abel. Judas had the choice to not betray Jesus. Hitler had the choice to not order the Holocaust. We human beings have the choice not to pursue revenge. We have the choice to not kill another human being or commit suicide. We have the choice to open our minds and open our hearts OR to close our minds and close our hearts.
*** There are many things I haven’t written on the blog – concerning the R/U war. This is because of the seriously sensitive nature of information posted on the Internet. Everything on the Internet is screened by computers – even my predictions and information. Therefore, I do not post some things … and I don’t need to. My posting “everything” would not change the things needing changed. Prayer and meditation – and the sending of Love and Light – and the demonstrations of Loving Kindness in every form are what will help change the things needing changed. For this, I will continue to pray whenever the thought comes to pray. I will continue to meditate and send Light and Love to all concerned whenever the thought comes to do so. I invite you to join in.
*** The suffering and hardship in the world – right now especially – it is always difficult to address this, to empathize, to have compassion, to continue to choose love, to keep one’s heart and mind open, it is difficult for every human, because even when we say to ourself, “I’m not psychic” and live as so, we are a part of the One Infinite Consciousness forever connected to this Consciousness of One.
Like the great ocean (God), every drop in the ocean (life forms/spirits) experiences in some way, everything that happens in the great ocean (God). In the same way that waves travel through the great ocean, all that happens is experienced within Infinity at some level of impact. All parts of the ONE are connected to the ONE. (Example-Just like when we stub our toe, the impact moves through us, eventually triggering the use of our mouth and throat to yell loudly.)
*** All souls involved with this war and with every war will one day – this life or in future lives – return to a conscious spiritual path, in the process, moving to healing, and on the path to returning to the One Source, with themselves being capable of Love and forgiveness, mercy and compassion, brotherhood and unity with and for others and one’s self. To get there requires prayer, meditation, and practice, practice and more practice.
*** There are infinite timelines possible, but this doesn’t matter, because in all these timelines, we still have the same spiritual and life lesson – to Love God above all else, and to love our neighbor as our self.
*** Those we pray for are helped more than those we don’t pray for.
*** The Akashic Records are the memories of the Infinite Consciousness of God, and God remembers everything about everything.
_______
As time goes on, I will add to the information I see regarding the R/U war, including in the Psychic Predictions for 2023 blog.
Imagine yourself entering into the Earth’s sphere and spending time observing the societies all around the globe.
You see human beings at their best and at their worst.
It’s the “worst” that you take note of most.
Having learned “Human Nature” and how humans make decisions, respond to problems, what humans consider most important, how honest or dishonest we are, our government models, our elected officials, our states of mind throughout our societies, how we solve problems, how we create problems, how we respond to problems, and the areas we focus on in our lives – how we live our lives,…
…what do we consider is likely to happen when introducing oneself to humans?
If you thought, utter and complete chaos, you’re right. FIRST, in this time period, there would be panic, there would be fear, there would be RED ALERTS everywhere.
After things settled down, all of human nature would come down upon the visitors like a ton of bricks. There would be tolerance and intolerance. There would be cooperation and non-cooperation, respect and disrespect, suspicion and blind trust. In other words, how we treat people on earth is how we would treat people not from earth. There is no change in how we would respond to them, than how we respond to each other, right now. We are the people that we are.
Currently, we don’t treat each other that well. We try. We really do try hard, but we still have much in the way of conflict, wars and non-cooperation. Why would they want to get mixed up in this?
We do offer a lot of great and wonderful things. There are many great and wonderful qualities within us. But, right now, …………….. there’s also a great and wonderful need for “improving.”
In general, we humans make our big and small decisions based not always on facts, but on desires, opinions, sometimes prejudices, – the best of our nature and the worst of our nature. There are plenty of humans who love to get mixed up in the best of our nature and the worst of our nature. There are plenty who seek to demonstrate both the best and the worst of human nature.
We humans treat other people sometimes with respect and kindness, but other times with abuse, hatred, and insults. When we disagree, sometimes we attack and sometimes we kill.
All of these aspects of human behavior will not go away just because non-earth beings show up. They know this.
There would be great demands for their technology. There would be demands to solve the problems on our planet. There would be demands for them to not interfere with how we decide our own planet, (ie. stay out of our wars – “They’re our wars, not yours, and you don’t get to decide who we kill.”)
The only thing safe for them is to let us know they exist and then stay away. And that is how it has happened already, which allows for the status quo to remain and progress to move slowly for everyone.
Human beings generally would want the visitors to solve all the human beings’ problems, because we tend to think technology solves all problems. It doesn’t. We struggle with this truth even without ETs.
We tend to think those who have greater resources should give what they have to those who don’t have resources – even now, that doesn’t solve problems. We don’t have enough Earth resources to give to everyone. We tend to be an unselfish, as well as a selfish species. Like winning the lottery sometimes negatively affects winners – this instant change also can cause destructive problems to expand and get worse. Societies could gain some strengths, but the weaknesses would grow, as well.
The Star Trek Prime Directive goes both ways. They are not currently making themselves known, because it would create so many more problems – for them, and for us.
Even Hollywood has never had aliens land and say, “We’re here to solve all your problems for you.” Anyone who comes saying that is not to be believed, as we’ve learned by watching commercials on TV when the commercial says, “We’ve got the products that will solve all your problems.
Any ETs that land publicly would only be another player on the planet – dealing with all the turmoils with which the people of Earth are still struggling. Why announce oneself and get mixed up with the problems we humans currently have, if it only creates more problems for everyone.
*******
There will be a day when they do come forth publicly. There is a time range which this could happen, and it depends on the growth of the human race on this planet. The earliest from this point on, that I am seeing, would be the mid 2050s and the latest would be at the beginning of the next century in the 2110s. The highest potential time is around the turn of the century. In the meantime, they make themselves known to some individuals in the manners which we already are involved with, for the purpose of furthering insight, cooperation and understanding – and respect for self-determination and boundaries.
Human love exists because God’s love is the source and foundation. Human love cannot exist without God’s love being present. Hence why we can learn that when love is present, God is present.
God is Love, and Love is God. They cannot be separated. Until this awareness is part of our very cells and atoms, we only scratch the surface of knowing God, and we only slightly grasp an awareness of Christ.
This is the message of God and Christ – the Oneness of God, Christ and Love. From this Oneness comes all other lessons and principles to learn. From this Oneness is why God has given us freewill and why God has given us eternity to learn the Infiniteness of God.
From the Infiniteness of God and the Oneness of this Infiniteness comes Infinite Kindness, Infinite Mercy, Infinite Patience, Infinite Compassion and Understanding, etc. In addition, from the Infinite Consciousness of God comes Infinite Imagination, of which we have within us, as well. This means that if we can think it, we can do it. If we can think it, we can manifest it. So, it behooves us to examine how and what we think – especially when it comes to our relationships with others. We cannot pour anything forth from within us, if we don’t first think to do it.
The questions will always be – “Are we thinking love, mercy, compassion and forgiveness?” or “Are we thinking bitterness, resentment and vengeance?” What we think is now and will always be our own choice. We can think differently whenever we choose to simply because “With God all things are possible” including thinking love, mercy, compassion and forgiveness.
When we have trouble offering these, consider thinking of God, first.
So what’s going to actually happen? Any specific examples? C.V.
Remember, the more general the question, the more general the answers. One can be asking a general question, while thinking about your neighborhood and, at the same time, asking about the entire world.
In the case for specifics, first I’ll take this opportunity to say that looking ahead is somewhat like seeing a boat traveling down a river coming upon the river delta which leads to the ocean. The delta spreads far wider than the river and gives many choices. As the boat gets close and into the delta, the choices become fewer and fewer to choose from. For some events there is no delta, though. For some events, the choices have already been made and the course has already been determined – like global warming. It is now our response to those hit hardest that we have choices to make.
There are many decisions by many people yet which will help influence the responses which we will collectively bring forth – which will determine how impactful these future events will be to our personal lives. Some will choose helping as much as possible and some will choose to not help any. (All people are individuals who are making choices for themselves.)
With all of the above said, the specific occurrences are in the categories I mentioned – weather, and I’ll include economic problems in the world from the weather, as well as conflicts around the world and economic problems in the world related to the conflicts. The destructive weather we’ve had in the past set of years, is what was predicted by those in the last century and we can see forward that these events will repeat themselves, with them getting more numerous and worse in destruction.
The same with world conflicts – i.e. what we see happening now in Ukraine and many other areas of conflict is massive destruction. Many of these events could be avoided had there been and if there were now, greater and greater and greater efforts towards prayer.
If you would like to know about your specific corner of the planet, you can ask about that. Others have, too.
I’m seeing this pandemic being all but resolved by the end of the summer/fall of 2024 with greater medical understanding and better medicines.

If anyone hasn’t yet, do go back and read the predictions articles for previous years. I do mention 2023 and 2024 in almost all of these. I have predictions going back to the beginning of this blog and many of them are of 2023 and 2024. When reading the predictions articles, start at Psychic Predictions for 2022 and go backwards or start at 2018 and go forwards.
Check (click on) the category titles on the right hand column of the blog – 2023, 2024.
In December, 2022, I will post my next predictions for 2023.

………(see comment 2) P.S. what are your thoughts on this idea of “ascension” and dimensions? I have a feeling this is just storytelling of sorts. It seems kind of ridiculous and I wonder if people are just using it as an excuse to explain away disaster… potentially leading people into a state of inaction or a kind of numbness to everything. We’ve created this mess and I think we (humans in flesh) are the ones to take us out of anything we create(essentially creating the solution to self created problems). Victor
I want to mention that because there is such a great diversity of beliefs and a great diversity of religions, the definitions for ascension and the understanding of dimensions will be just as diverse.
What I offer about ascension is this – it is part of the evolution of the soul – whether in the Earth plane or out of the Earth plane. Many souls who finish their karmic work and learning in the Earth do not need to keep returning in new and different lives again and again. When a soul reaches this point, we are able to “ascend” into higher levels of consciousness to then learn what that level has to offer. Sound familiar?
Those who graduate the Earth can move on into ever higher planes of existence. Those who aren’t yet finished learning, return to yet learn our spiritual lessons, and we all have the choice ever and forever about learning the spiritual lessons set before us – compassion instead of criticism, patience and kindness instead of attacking and abuse, forgiveness instead of vengeance. See how it works? As individuals, yet, we regrettably make choices, while in a physical life, which affects when our “ascension” happens, especially when we sometimes think there is no such thing and therefore we can get away with anything.
So, for me, ascension means moving on to higher planes of consciousness. But, we only move on to higher planes, if we bring forth higher levels of consciousness in the Earth – the higher levels being the consciousness of love, of kindness, of patience, of mercy, of compassion, etc. We move on to that which we have built for others and ourselves. These higher planes are waiting for all of us, and the nice thing is that we can help each other reach these higher levels. After all, we’re in this together, aren’t we.
Likewise, dimensions are also different planes of existence. Remember what Shakespeare said, “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” This means that when we think our own beliefs are the only thing that is true, we will be in for a “rude awakening” when we find out our own beliefs are a thimble full of muddy truth, and there is yet a Universe of crystal-clear Truth waiting for us to open our minds to.
Dimensions are part of the Infinite Consciousness of God, wherein which our own dimension exists and wherein we experience it as if it were physical in nature and full of solid matter.
With that, I recommend keeping the mind open, and if you seek it, letting God reveal Truth in God’s own way. This way has been known to be helpful and enriching…. and quite amazing. When it comes from God, and traveling from the vast universe that is within our very self, we do not quickly forget it.
[Many questions….] (see the 3rd comment) I’m planting fruit trees. Lots and lots of them. Lisa
Planting trees of any and all kinds is a magnificent activity. May God bless your work and your trees.
I offer this. It is always easy to get discouraged, isn’t it. But, while the media seems to be looking for ways to bring drama and different versions of everything, there is also a POV which exists – that of it having a greater purpose to how it all comes forth. When all the stories come forth, no matter what the perspective, each and every story or presentation can be a flag calling for the prayers from those willing participants of prayer – no matter who the listener is, no matter what the slant is to the story.
If we do not know what to pray for, we are apt more, to not pray. When we hear of problems in the world, or in our own country or our own community, then for those who choose it, we can then bring forth our prayers for those in need which we are then learning about. The harvest of needs is great, but the workers/people who choose to pray, are few. Be one of the few – when we as individuals say, “Father/Mother God, Here I am, one person, ready to help.” God answers with, “And Here I Am With You, As Well!”
And from there, we hear the chorus of hidden helpers – thousands and millions around the world, getting no press and no notice – who sing forth, “We’re glad to have you now with us. Everyone everywhere benefits greatly from the help of one more joining in.”
Never believe anyone who says that one person can do nothing to help the world – not even if it’s our own self saying it.
For all that is happening in the world – If any of us don’t believe that prayer helps, don’t discourage anyone who may or does believe.
however, if we believe that prayer helps, then let us pray and believe that our prayers are helping.
and if we know that prayer helps, then we pray with every fiber of our being, we pray with every ounce of energy in our heart, mind and soul, with every part of our consciousness, every spark of thought in our mind every feeling in our heart,
we pour forth all of our life existing in this moment into our prayers, right now, giving God more than words, — and rather, as our prayer, giving God our very energy that is us in our unity with all others.
************
Let us pray from the Love within us for the Family of Man.
even if we don’t feel it, we feel it.
Let us pray from the Light within us, for the healing of Mankind
even if we don’t want it, we want it.
Let us pray from the Christ within us to help the children of God find ways to peace on Earth and goodwill towards all men.
and at this time especially, may God bless us and success for our efforts for peace
for everyone,
because with God, all things are possible including Peace on Earth.
Amen

Pray asking for miracles to rain down upon the people of Ukraine and sprout up from the very Earth… … and then for all humankind … and then for all life.
… not something to judge, not something to control, not something to overpower, not something to fear, not something to hate, not something to ignore, …in God’s Oneness of all existence.
not a trap, not a weapon, not an enemy, not a mistake, not an excuse, not a chore, not an obligation, not an accident of nature, not “The Original Sin” not the true source of the problems, not the answer to the problems, not a savior from problems, not understood, not the opposite of spirituality, …within God’s created Oneness of all things.
But it is labeled these, judged to be these, and many times condemned as if these, by humans, …within God’s Oneness of all existence.
It is not equal to Love, and it is not void of Love, …within God’s Oneness of all things.
Rather,
it is something that exists, it is something to exist, it is something with which every human being must address, it is something with which to learn to be at peace, as well as something with which to find peace, it is something to acknowledge, it is something that is challenging to acknowledge, it is something in life to seek an understanding about, it is something that is challenging to understand, it is something to exist for reasons, it is something to exist for purposes, it is as much a challenge as the spiritual path is for human beings, it is something in which our understanding is always changing,
…within the Infinite Creative Consciousness of the Spirit of Love and Oneness of all Existence.
