What Can I Do?

There really are very specific things we can each do when seeking how to respond to all the events  happening on the planet Earth, now.

1. Pray – when we start our efforts with the seeking of a greater communication and connection with the source of wisdom, intelligence, compassion, heart, understanding, patience, loving kindness, mercy and brotherhood – God – then we have a greater chance that our efforts will be healing, helpful, will build rather than tear down, will unite rather than create schisms, and will bring about a real and lasting result.

2. Meditate – when we meditate on the highest spiritual ideals within ourselves – Loving kindness, Peace for souls, cooperation, etc., this reconnects us to our own better parts of ourselves. This also helps to raise the consciousness level available in the world, especially when millions (and there are millions) of others are also praying and meditating for the higher level expressions of Mankind’s presence in this planet.

3. Work on myself, so that I’m not reacting automatically adding to the polarization, anger, blanket accusations, prejudicial statements and hate-filled rhetoric.  Acting responsibly is the ability to respond from a place better than that place where the problem was created.  This doesn’t happen automatically, though.

4. Join with others – when we join others with like hearts and minds, our efforts expand and become stronger in exponential ways. “Where two or more are gathered in my name, there am I with them.” Matthew 18:20.  Joining with others strengthens our sense of belonging to a community, it strengthens our own resolve to keep on keeping on, and it strengthens the community as a whole.

Joining with others can also help us feel that we’re not alone in having feelings of great concern for dangerous issues and that we don’t have to face these challenges alone.

5. Pray again.

Either Hatred or Brotherhood in the World

Our generation in life is in the unique position of seeing many examples of humanity’s expressing hatred. Several generations before us witnessed slavery. The immediate generation before us witnessed the Holocaust in Europe. And today’s generation witnesses terrorism in the world.

In each of these examples, someone can easily say that religion or a particular religion is at the center of these horrors or has brought them about. But this belief is equal to saying that the world is black and white. The world is not black and white.

When slavery existed, Christianity and the Bible were used by many to justify slavery. When Hitler came to power, he said the problem with Germany, Europe and the world was with the Jews. And today, people say the cause of problems is with Islam.

But, hatred and the spreading of that hatred was at the heart of these acts of horror inflicted upon human beings. Religion was an easy target to blame, an easy cloak to hide behind, and an easy tool to usurp to justify and rationalize hatred and the spreading of this hatred.

People who have always used religion in these ways, seek to demonstrate and bring forth their hatred to incite more hatred, so that hatred will grow in the world. As human beings we have the choice of whether we will create hatred inside our hearts and minds first and foremost. After it exists in the heart is when we, as individuals, look for what will justify and rationalize it. Those that choose to hate, then, will join together with others that choose to hate.

The world is not black and white. It is also the billions of colors in between black and white. Christianity did not create slavery, but the tenets of Christianity were manipulated by many to justify the agenda of slavery. The Jewish race was not the problem in Germany, Europe or the world. But, beliefs about the Jewish people were manipulated by many to justify their agenda. Islam is not a religion of hatred, but those that hate have manipulated its tenets – as other religions have been manipulated – to serve and spread the agenda of hatred – calling to others who also hate to join in hatred.

Bringing more hate into the world, by choosing to hate any group will not heal the world of hatred. Changing what is in our own hearts and minds will – because brotherhood, compassion and recognizing Oneness of Life can also spread from person to person in the same way that hatred might. It will always depend on what we – as individuals – choose to bring forth into the world each day we’re here.

The Coming Times

 

I feel as though this is a common question for a lot of people right now. We are hearing so much of climate change and it all sounds so horrifying. I am scared of the future, I used to be a very optimistic fun loving person. Now my days are filled with worry and depression. I get excited about things and then feel as though there is no point to getting excited because everything is just going to be taken away.i am a young mother and I feel guilty for bringing my very young children into this world, and wonder why we are here at this time to experience such uncertainty. I know I should not live in fear as this is not healthy for myself, my family or the earth, but I’ve almost become obsessed with being consumed by dread. I have days where I know in my heart that there is hope, and that we could also be living in a very exciting time where the human race will come together and respect our mother and go good. But that feeling is always fleeting. Is there anything that we can hold onto or do to get things on a positive level? I daily bless the beautiful things I see, the trees, the ocean, the rain, the sun. I am blessed to be alive but right now I am not enjoying it in a world of such turmoil. I feel even more overwhelmed as I have just read about the post on your blog about events in 2017/18 that will be catastrophic. How can we stay positive when there is so much fear and negativity? A.

I won’t insult you by saying, “Don’t be afraid.”  We cannot get rid of fear via logic or reasoning.

But, we can face fear with ‘heart’.   We can face fear with that which is in our heart – especially if what is in our heart is love – in any form – for anyone or anything.  And the love you mentioned in your heart is the love you have for your children (and the things in life which you see each day and bless.)  So, I ask you a question.  Do you love them enough – to have courage – progressing in your life with them one day at a time?  Do you love them enough – to pray for them and you – taking life and praying one day at a time?  Do you love them enough – to try to do the best you can for their sake and yours – doing this one day at a time?  Do you love them enough to try one day at a time, and demonstrate to them how to take one day at a time so that they will learn observing your example?  I venture your answer is in the positive, and this is where the ‘positive’ begins.

If we ask ourselves any of these questions in any form at all, we are asking the right questions.  The issue at hand isn’t ‘what are we going to face in the future’.  There will always be troubles.  Human beings in this Earth have always faced challenges and troubles. Always.  Every epoch of time.

The issue is ‘what are we going to have in our hearts, when we face what life presents us.’  If we have love in our hearts in any form or for anyone or anything God has created for us, then we have that which is the greatest force of all existence.  If we have love in our hearts, we have our Creator in our hearts – the Creator who offers unending support, unending guidance, unending ingenuity, unending insight, unending readiness, unending understanding of what we go through and face, and unending willingness to be here for us – and all one day at a time.

You’re a parent.  As with almost all parents all over the world, you wonder and worry about your children and the future of the world.  As well you should.  Have pity for anyone who has children and doesn’t care about their future or the world they will live in.

Just remember, like putting on a pair of socks, we face the task doing it one foot at a time.  Like eating our daily meals, we take one bite at a time.  Like going to work, to get there, we drive one mile at a time.  Like taking in Oxygen into our lungs, we breathe one breath at a time.  Like going to school, we take it one grade at a time.  Like living our life, we face what life has to offer one day at a time.

All of us already have been learning what Christ has been teaching – “take life one day at a time – let tomorrow worry about itself.”  This is also a principle of the 12-step programs, in many other healing modalities, as well as also in the Edgar Cayce Readings – written as “Do today what is in your lap today to do.”  This guidance exists as part of all good guidance and for good reason.

Living in the Earth is not an easy thing to do.  We do it with family, sometimes.  We do it with friends sometimes, with support sometimes, but with God’s willingness to guide us and help us – all the time.  We’re in this world – we’re in this life – we’re in this ‘boat’ together.  When you get to feeling like the world is too much or you have to face the future and the world alone, let someone know (that includes God).  Again, we’re all in this together – whether we know what we’re doing or not.

Meanwhile, for you and for all of us, one day at a time, we can let our children know that love exists in the world – not through words, but by showing them what we have in our hearts.  A world where love exists is one of the best worlds of all in which anyone can live.  A world where love exists is a world to keep alive and growing in this love.  A world where love exists is a world very much worth living in.

God bless you and your family.

Freewill and Judgement Question

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

To Know Oneself

Over and over and over, we give ourselves messages from ourselves.  We talk to ourselves in our minds.  We think to ourselves.  We assure ourselves.  We comfort ourselves. We chastise ourselves.  We criticize ourselves.  We are instant messaging ourselves all the time – telling ourselves all kinds of things about the world and ourselves throughout the day.  We communicate more with ourselves than any other being in existence – all happening in all the different levels of our minds.

And we’re always honest with ourselves, right?  The one person who we would think would be honest with ourselves would be our self, right?  There’s no question that what we tell ourselves is always the truth, right?

Not really, and that’s putting it mildly, isn’t it.

In all honesty, we’re just as likely to be dishonest with ourselves as we are with anyone else.  In fact, sometimes it’s easier, isn’t it. Many times, since we’re the one who judges whether it’s okay to lie about something, we are mostly okay when we lie even to ourselves.  Aren’t we.  We do it so often, that we often don’t know the truth when we hear it, or say it.  Isn’t that true?  We have a version in our minds which we say is true, and which we tell ourselves is the absolute truth, and which we would swear to in front of any other person who asks, right?

That “truth” that we call “truth” to ourselves – we know that very well.  That’s the version of truth that we’ve worked out inside ourselves to be called “true.”  In our subconscious and in our day-to-day consciousness, we go about our day deciding what is going to be the truth and what isn’t.  Isn’t that so – not always consciously, but then sometimes consciously, right?

And how does this serve us?

It serves us by not requiring us to feel all the feelings and emotions which go along with acknowledging the actual truth.  Many times the actual truth that we don’t acknowledge comes connected to sadness and sorrow, grief and disappointment, anger and bitterness, hatred and aggravation – feelings we don’t want to be experiencing or acknowledge.

It also serves us by giving us a different view of who we think we are – or a view of how far we think we’ve grown on this spiritual path or in any way whatsoever.  Sometimes, subconsciously, these are factors that we think may determine whether we get loved or not.  After all, everyone wants to be loved, and maybe the “better people” are the ones that get loved.  And if I’m a “better people”, I should then be loved, too.  Right?

The actual truth doesn’t come with all of these aspects and factors all the time, but still, the actual truth that we want to not be true, many times does in truth come with heavy, painful, and disturbing feelings and acknowledgments as well as those subconscious messages which we tell ourselves related to being loved in the world, (a formidable source of motivation, since after all, everyone wants to be loved.)

Yet, this actual truth can come forward within us, but only if we allow it and only if we allow the emotions to come, also.  It can knock on the door, but it comes in only when we open the door and welcome it in.

This actual truth often comes with an assessment of ourselves.  It sometimes points out how we need to change something within ourselves or how we may have acted inappropriately in how we related to someone.  It can come with regret or sorrow, shame, guilt or embarrassment.  Or it can come with a chance to heal.

There are times that we can really benefit from knowing the actual truth.  There are times that we can heal when the actual truth is acknowledged.  Counseling helps that process.  Talk therapy helps a person find their way to clean out their closet filled with all kinds of stuff that we fill closets with.  Yet, that’s only one way of many ways to figure out the truth within ourselves, though.

Sometimes, it helps to just be willing to accept the actual truth, regardless of what comes with it.  “Willingness” to allow the actual truth to come forward is the single strongest quality that helps it come forward.

Yes, we can lie to ourselves about being willing.  We can tell ourselves that we want the actual truth, and then not be willing to open the door for it.  Sincerity is a big key, but then sincerity includes willingness and comes with one of the deeper forms of honesty, doesn’t it.

What has helped me many times is to pray to God – “God, help me be honest with myself.”  If I’m really wanting honesty and truth, who better to ask for help to gain honesty and truth.  When we’re truly sincere about working to be more honest with ourselves, it’s best to start with the one who can actually help make that goal a reality.  When we pray for God to help us be honest with ourselves, we are “standing in front of the face of God.”  We are placing ourselves in front of the face of the One who knows Truth about ourselves, about our thoughts, our feelings, our actions, our behaviors, our pain, our suffering, our shame, our guilt, our disappointments, our grief, our hopes, our dreams, our loves, our hates, our healing, our needs, our crying out in the wilderness, our courage and our fear – our whole selves – our deepest parts of ourselves and our shallowest parts of ourselves – our honesty and our lies.  It’s not that easy to do, but again, all we need to be is “willing” in order to move forward.

“God, help me be honest with myself” is a gentle prayer, but can be an effective one if what we seek is the real truth about ourselves and our lives, and to be honest with that real truth about ourselves and our lives.

It’s a challenging “row to hoe”, and what I describe here is in no way the whole truth and nothing but the truth, because I don’t have a lock on ‘Truth’.  But the effort we make to dig for the truth – to dig for being honest with ourselves – pays off with a greater understanding and knowledge of ourselves, and to know our self, honestly and truthfully, is an ever greater thing to know.  “There’s gold in them thar hills” – or in this case – the priceless jewels of who we are await us when we come to know ourselves.  Getting to know our self is one of the greatest things in all existence.  When we do this, we then come to understand more of our relationships with God, with others and very importantly, our relationship with ourselves.

Surprising, but true.

Politics and Religion and Bears – Oh, My!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

but we do.

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

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

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

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

Transitioning from the 2nd to the 3rd of 3 Events – 2017/2018 – #1

Thank you for sharing with us, spreading the word of God and helping us to realize the power of prayer. It is almost October now. Please discuss what you see for 2017.  M.A.

The future is flexible. What I learned (again and again) from the process of the last year, and my predictions was that God and mankind can change the future and destiny of the Earth. Although I knew it, I learned it again in even greater ways in my heart that a group of people who have in their hearts to help others, can truly, change things for those others and even more others. I learned (again) that the future depends on us and what we do – today. I learned that we can influence the future in a very big way.

So, what do I see for the future? If we do nothing at all, I see serious problems for billions of people. If we take steps for prayer, meditation and our spiritual awakening, now and continue with these steps, I see that much of these serious problems can be transmuted.

There is a great lesson to learn here first and foremost, and it’s not that Jodie or any psychic can be wrong. It’s that we – mankind – with God’s help can change our future.

In 2001, Edgar Cayce’s predictions for New York, that he predicted in the 1920’s and 1930’s, came true. His predictions didn’t manifest the way he said, but the energy destined to manifest did manifest. Still, the amount of energy related to New York City, which he saw, in his time period, was enough to cause a major earthquake in the fault line underneath New York.

This energy was destined to manifest as he predicted, except for what people did to change it – the massive numbers of prayers, meditations and spiritual awakenings that happened between when Edgar foresaw the events and when the events happened. The efforts of tens of millions of people through the decades healed/balanced/dissolved so much of the energy, that instead of the whole city of New York being devastated, only 1 block was destroyed.

The 9-11 attack was a horrendous event, but had the millions of people around the world not worked to awaken spiritually, and then bring that higher spiritual energy into the Earth, what we would have seen on TV would have been the entire city all but destroyed – not by terrorists, but by a massive earthquake.  The millions of people could not heal/balance/dissolve all the energy and so we all saw the result of what was left to manifest – and this time through humans rather than physically through the Earth.

Likewise, this year, I and many others witnessed a similar occurrence happen. I learned much more about the power of prayer and meditation, even though I thought I already knew much.

The most important thing I believe I learned has been just how much we can change the future with prayers, meditations, and awakening to God’s presence and active involvement in life, and then the ability to change the future when we align with His/Her presence for bringing greater Love, Compassion, Oneness, Cooperation etc, into the world. Then with that Love, Compassion, etc, help the lives of all who suffer, are lost in despair, in pain, feel alone, and don’t know what love is.

I’ve seen this healing process happen already a number of times, and I’m still changing how I think to accept the utter truth of it all. I still struggle with letting go of my small paradigm and way of thinking/believing – those old tapes in my way of thinking – that wonder ‘Is it really true?’ Did we really change things? I want to have a larger consciousness to easily accept all that causes wonder in my mind, but for me to get there, I can only start with where I am – a smaller consciousness that hasn’t always been cleaned up of all the pockets of mental smallness which I’ve carried around for so very long.

Being psychic isn’t being omniscient nor is it being perfect or complete. While it has helped me to see further than I have before, it has also helped me to look inward and deeper than before. Personal growth doesn’t *stop* with developing psychic ability. I’ve found that learning and growth *start* another phase with developing psychic ability.

Hence why patience is so important- We have so much to Learn! Of course one of the things to learn is patience. One of the Edgar Cayce readings stated that each soul in the Earth must develop and practice patience before they leave their cycle of lives. That is going to upset a lot of impatient people. And another Edgar Cayce reading states, “Only with patience, can we know our own soul.” For me that happens as we develop psychic ability, patiently.  And with patience, all of us can open our minds more and more to what God can accomplish through us when we cooperate through prayer and meditation, and in spite of us when we have small understandings of what is possible with God.

I’ll be giving a presentation at an Association for Research and Enlightenment retreat/conference on Saturday, October 3rd, 2015.  I will be recording it as I always do, to make available on this website on the “Download” page.  The title will be “Prayer, Meditation and the Future”

The Virginia Killing

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Down to Yellow Alert

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A Clairaudient Message

While I’ve been trying to see if changes are still possible, I received a clairaudient message saying, “The appearance has changed.”

I believe it pertains to the 2nd of the 3 events, and I am trying to see what it’s changed to.

“Appearance” could mean the time it happens (when it shows up) is changed, or “appearance” could mean the actual circumstances or events to manifest (what it looks like) could be changed – or both.  I don’t yet have that information.

I asked, “How can this serve us?” At this, I get a vision of Spirit’s having an overall healing influence on the circumstances which have been seen so far.  This is a message of prayer having an effect on even the most dangerous of situations.   This is also a message of God being present and effective from our prayers and meditation which are said and done.  I’ve seen this effect and change be true for many events set to manifest.

This does not mean that it is finished.  Psychically, I see that physically, some of the physical pressure causing the natural events has been resolved/released/dissolved.  But not all of it.

The future can be changed, and prayer and meditation change the future.  There is a book of the old testament which gives this scenario.  I don’t remember which book it is, though.  In it, God tells a prophet to warn the people.  The prophet warns the people of a disaster, and they heed the warning – praying and seeking atonement.  The event then doesn’t happen.  The prophet gets upset with God and says something to the effect of “Why didn’t you reign destruction down on them?”  God’s answer is to him, “You don’t worry about what I do.  If they offer prayers and atonement, then I can change what happens.”  This is what happened to Edgar Cayce’s world predictions for this period in time – earth changes, and the New York prediction – prayer, meditation, “at-one-ment”.

In past precognitive events and premonitions, I’ve also seen the Light of the World, the Christ Energy, coming in through prayers and meditations, and completely dissolve “storms” (storms being human, natural or event storms.)

Meanwhile, I’ve been seeing this whole 2nd of 3 events spread out over a month’s time frame.  I’ve also been seeing it be completely over by October 1, 2015.

My advice is stay alert.  This time frame has only just started.  But, the hope now, is that at least the amount of events is diminished or the timing is changed – “the appearance has changed.”

As I get more information, I will post it.  I still see it being a most HOT spot, so “appearance” might mean “time”.  I lean towards thinking that “how it looks/manifests” could be the meaning because of the answer to my question above.

*******

PS. After writing this article, I remembered that the message, “the appearance has changed”, first came in a dream several days ago.  In addition, I’ve received a 2nd message, “It is reported missing.”  This second message pertains to Friday’s event not happening as foreseen.   The understanding of the message came with the message.

I’m reminded over and over that a very real purpose of premonitions and precognitive visions is to do something to help change the future from happening as the vision shows.  This change can be brought in many ways, and one of the most effective being – as I’ve already said – prayer and meditation.

It’s like having a car full of people driving down a road.  If the passengers all see a sign that says, “Warning.  Bridge out ahead.  Beware.”  I can bet that all the passengers in the car are going to make the driver turn that vehicle around.

As We Wait

There are a few days before that which I’ve been seeing is predicted to happen.  At this time, if there is an article which you feel best gives a “heads up” about this, do go ahead and post that article on the Internet wherever you feel it could help.  At this point, the only thing I can suggest is to let people know that this has been foreseen beginning Friday, August 14th and the foreshadowing signs have been happening all summer as predicted – including the quiet time in the 1st half of August.  If you want to do more, ask within what else to do.

Even though I think I see Friday’s part being a large earthquake, with Sunday night bringing the volcanic activity, I also see “rumblings” starting to happen Wednesday.  I think the alert level will go back up to ORANGE on Wednesday, Thursday at the latest.

Anyone who is just now joining reading the articles, go to the “Categories” on the right and select “2nd of 3 Events” to bring up the articles/predictions for the weekend of August 14th on, dealing with the Caribbean / Venezuelan Event which I’ve been psychically seeing for 10 years now.

Open Possibilities; Florida

I’m going to let you know that it is still possible that I’m not seeing this accurately.  This is a real possibility.  I mention this because it’s true.  The future can change in great ways.

With that said, if it happens as I’ve been seeing it, and to answer a question about Florida – the impact on Florida will be minor compared to the Caribbean. I’m seeing ash in the air over Florida – not at dangerous levels for the general public and at a higher elevation than would be dangerous, but a problem for those with respiratory problems – like the elderly, who may have breathing issues. I’m seeing relief agencies going into the “direct-hit” areas to help. These relief agencies are helped by donations. Radios will be the reliable source of communication. Cell phone service will be hindered in many areas, because of everyone trying to call in and out at the same time and with towers and service junctions being damaged. Most cell phone service will be out in directly hit areas.  However, cell phone service will be one of the first things to get working again.

*******

For what it’s worth, if the future were to change from what I’ve been seeing, I’m truly okay with it not happening as I’ve been seeing.  The issue for me is not whether or not I’m accurate.  I always hold out hope that I can be accurate, and I always hold out hope that these events won’t happen hurting so many people.

The real issue for me is whether or not we work to change the future by holding to our spiritual path, through our prayers, meditations and practices bringing God into our lives and the lives of those we seek to help.  This speaks to God’s involvement in a very real ways in our lives.

 

The Fear of Fear (#2)

Does fear have a place in spiritual circles?  Does it warrant addressing when on a spiritual path?  Yes, it does.  As human beings, we are going to experience fear.  It can be fear of anything and everything.  It even can be fear of being a human being, fear of being a man or a woman, fear of ourselves, fear of being honest, and we can even have a fear of experiencing fear.

Everyone of us faces not being able to protect ourselves in every situation we face during our path from infant to the grave.  There are real dangers living in this Earth.  Not dangers to our spirit, but dangers to the physical body amongst others.  There are also dangers to our desired purpose during this particular life sojourn.  There is no limit to what could trigger any of the fears and bring them to the surface, in turn, which triggers our reaction based on fear.

There is a term that many people on spiritual paths know.  It is “Flight to light.”  It refers to being on a spiritual path based on the fear we have towards aspects of living as a human being.  It is when the fear is so strong that we run for the light to run away from what we are fearing – whether conscious of the fear or unconscious to it.  If we’re lucky, we eventually figure out we can’t run from that which causes us to be afraid.  We can’t “run to the light” to get away from “darkness”.  As children, it is an expected (and sometimes hoped for) reaction, but as we grow to adult spiritual beings, we are called to come face to face with fear.

The journey to dealing with both our fear and being afraid of experiencing fear, is a long one.  We must go back to face all we have within us – all we have in our subconscious.  This takes time, willingness, patience, kindness, mercy, forgiveness, compassion, a sense of humor, faith, trust, letting go, and many other qualities – all directed towards our self.

FDR said, “There is nothing to fear but fear itself.”  It was helpful at the time, but this isn’t quite true at the soul level.  After we begin our spiritual path and awakening, we must also learn and eventually figure out how to practice – “There is nothing to fear, not even fear itself.”  To be afraid of fear is to perpetuate fear.

When I write about or discuss any of the 3 world events, including the 3rd of the 3 events, (and I will do this,) I won’t be withholding what I see based on a fear of what fear can manifest.  Regardless of what fear can manifest, Love cannot be stopped.  Fear, and a fear of fear must be faced.  The evolution and change that is happening is already in place and on its way.  The fear of fear, is going to be coming to the surface for each of us to address – not to address with others, like in a group – but with ourselves within the solitude of our self where we both hide our fear and hide from our fear.  Within our own solitude is, if we’re willing, where we can be most honest with ourselves, because the only one with us in this solitude is God – along with God’s Infinite Patience, Infinite Understanding, Infinite Mercy, Infinite Acceptance, Infinite Kindness and Infinite Love helping and supporting us, one day at a time.

War and Terrorists?

Will there be any more terrorist attacks on US soil?

With Americans attacking Americans every single day in countless ways, who needs terrorists? How many internal “American on American” attacks happen every single day – whether physical, emotional, or even verbal attacks?  Compare that to an organized officially named “terrorist” attack.  “We have met the enemy and it is us.” (I don’t know who first said this.)  There are statistics online showing mass shootings monumentally outnumber terrorist attacks in the U.S.

Will we have WW3 in our lifetime?

Only if we’re willing to and want to, and plenty of people are willing to and want to, especially in the U.S.  More of us have war, conflict, and are attack-ready in our hearts than have peace, brotherhood, acceptance, understanding, cooperation, kindness, patience, oneness, mercy and forgiveness in our hearts.

All we need to do is come face to face with the truth of war – what war really is.  To almost all of us, war is only a TV show, a news item or an electronic game.  We turn it off in one push of a button, go outside and get the mail.

But, look at the effect war has on the soldiers coming home.  Look at the wars of the past and the wars of the present.  Look at the costs inside people’s hearts and minds.  Look at the suffering and pain that war guarantees.   All wars offer and guarantee the same things.  This is war and its rewards.

War is death.  War is destruction.  100% guaranteed.  War is injuries.  War is suffering.  War is family members and loved ones coming home in boxes.  War is when people die, and these people are never again able to hold their loved ones in their arms, or be held, ever again. This is war and its rewards.

War guarantees 100% that many fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters will never be at another Christmas or Birthday or graduation or wedding.  War guarantees 100% that those killed will never offer anything more to their families or their communities ever again.  Those family members killed won’t support or love or interact or relate or teach or contribute or cooperate or offer kindness or anything of any kind ever again.  100% guaranteed.  This is war and its rewards.

Every person’s contribution based on their caring and love, kindness and belonging, they could have made to the Earth, to their communities, to their friends and their families will never happen ever again.  Every person’s moment of help they could have offered, every ounce of love which they could have given out, every act of support will never happen ever again.  This is what war really is.   100% guaranteed to be never again.  This is war and its rewards.

It is painted as being worthwhile by some of us, but there is nothing at all that is worthwhile about war.  Yet, it is justified and rationalized as being a worthwhile option for getting what we want.  We come up with so many “wonderful” reasons to carry out what is in our hearts – war.

Those of us that want war in our hearts, will wage war and support war.  God gave us all freewill.

Those of us that seek peace and ask God for help in gaining it, will receive from God that bread for which we ask.

Attacks and Attackers Part 2: Karma

“If we meet insults, contention or other unpleasant experiences, it is not the fault of the aggressor, but actually our own. The reason is that they are simply a manifestation of our heart. If we have no roots or thoughts of contention or insulting speech in our heart, this would not happen. Thus, by wiping away our greed, hatred or ego with kindness, virtue and forgiveness, we eradicate our past/current evil karma and habits and change the outside for the better.” Bc

What a good opening to present Part 2.

How you’ve written your comment could potentially be confusing, so I want to use this as a way to write about Karma.

To me, it’s not quite as simple as you’re presenting – with respect to responsibility and Karma.  Remember, everyone has freewill to decide their own thoughts, feelings, actions, behaviors, beliefs, etc.  This means that we are not responsible for others’ actions – those others who have freewill.  We are all responsible for our own steps we take on our path.  This means we are all responsible for our own thoughts, our own feelings, our own behaviors and more.

To try to explain Karma would be daunting, but this much I’ll offer.  When we throw a pebble into a lake, the ripples go out in all directions.  As the ripples go out, some ripples then also return back to the thrower of the pebble.  In effect, we have created the ripple that returns back to ourselves.

When we create an experience within life for someone else – for that person to go through – we are also creating the same experience for ourselves – and as hard as this is to fathom – we are creating this experience for all life in all existences – even for God, Himself, to experience.  The same ripple must then also return home.

Part of the experience we have as human beings is that when we receive back the experiences of life, we don’t remember throwing the pebble – creating the experience.  We blame others for what we experience or we (most of the time) erroneously blame the person we are today for what we experience.  As humans, our memories tend not to include soul memories of past lives and past experiences.  Many times this is a merciful thing for us, helping us to start over without remembering the person we were back then.

The soul or the Higher Consciousness of each human being remembers, however.  In time, we will come to understand how each experience we have in life is an experience which we helped to create for ourselves and others.  In addition, what experiences we create in the lives of others now – experiences which even God is touched by – will be what our path will include further down the way.  This includes whether we, of our own freewill, choose to attack with bitterness and vengeance, or to heal with understanding, mercy, and compassion.

What this means of Karma is that there is no judgement with karma.  There is no censure or condemnation.  There is no punishment with Karma.  Karma is simply the pebble’s ripple which has arrived back to where it started.

But, that’s not all.  The healing of “karma”, or rather the healing of experiences can happen by raising the vibrations of the “ripple”, which actually exists in time, space, and consciousness.  Since all things are vibration, the addition of higher vibration actions can affect the lower vibrations actions.  What is it that brings forth higher vibrations? Prayer, meditation, Loving kindness, forgiveness, patience, mercy, understanding, compassion, cooperation, and the like.  Each of these fruits of the spirit when brought forth into the world for another to experience opens the doors for the God Consciousness to be present in the moment.  The God Consciousness is Love and is the Highest of all High vibrations.  This vibration affects all vibrations/events/experiences with which it is present.

So, the bringing forth of God Consciousness through prayer, meditation and demonstrating the fruits of the spirit raises the vibration of the ripple.  This raised combination of vibrations goes out to all existence, and also returns back to us.  While sometimes the ripple vibration that goes out also comes back unchanged, with the presence of God, the presence of Love, kindness, mercy, etc, the ripple vibration is changed and returns in a higher vibration form.

The purpose of Karma is to raise vibrations to the level of God Consciousness – Love.   With this done, Karma is absorbed into the experience of understanding and awareness.  This is why prayer can help change human experiences.  This is also why mercy, kindness, cooperation, etc, can help change human experiences.
