Love

“Am I My Brother’s Keeper?”

Each of us has and will always have an impact on other people. We can’t live in any society and be otherwise. “No human is an island unto itself.” God created us to need one another. And in this state of needing each other, we will impact each other.

It absolutely behooves us to try to be as awake as possible to how we live our life impacting others. Not as a law, but as a person living alongside others in our life. We already have unknowingly added to others pain and sorrow or unknowingly added to others joy and peace. We cannot have a perfect tally, but we can work to be aware of ourselves. We can be aware of when we love someone or when we harm someone, because within ourselves, we do know our intention and motivation when we act and relate to others – when we’re willing to be honest with ourselves.

Waking up to our place in the Earth is not for laying blame or guilt onto others or ourselves. Nor is it to require ourselves to be perfect. Nor is it to be rewarded or punished by spending eternity in one place or another. We are infinite beings without even knowing we’re infinite beings. For the most part, we’ve lived and died in physical bodies many times. We’ve come and gone in this Earth enough times to say, that we’re getting more and more used to being born and eventually dying because we’ve done it plenty of times already. With each time, we add another full experience of human life, and we add another experience of existing and living in between lives.

With that being said, the purpose of addressing areas of our lives where we have or someone else has taken harmful actions is not to blame or lay guilt upon ourselves or others, but rather to wake up to the impact we have on other people’s lives from here on out – that being how we can add to their joy and healing or how we can add to their pain and suffering – and then how to be alert to just how easy it is to choose one, the other, or both of these. If we’re asleep to our impact, it is easy to be unaware of any harm or suffering we cause. If we’re awake to our impact, it becomes easier to be aware of any spectrum of our impact. Being ignorant of how we affect people, is not an excuse to have. Being aware of how we affect people, leads us to ever more kindness, compassion and empathy for all.

When we decide to open our hearts, OR when we decide to not bother with opening our hearts – it is worth it to be aware of these two differences in our decisions, because we don’t make the decision to love while being unconscious to ourself and the others in our lives.

And any of us who chooses to harm others while staying asleep to our harming others, cannot use any excuse to justify the harm we inflict.

Cain’s excuse to God, when God asked Cain where Abel was – “Am I my brother’s keeper?” was a very empty excuse, when Cain and God both knew exactly the harm Cain had done to his brother. Cain sought to have God think of him as uninvolved with the harm which came to Abel.

*******

Maybe we’re not able to be aware of every impact we have on others, but we are very aware of how others’ actions impact us. We’re very aware of the pain, sorrow and suffering we feel when receiving these types of actions from others. We’re also very aware of the joy, peace and comfort that we feel when receiving these types of acts from others. Stating this is simply a reminder then, of how easily others are aware of their experience of us and their experience of how we impact them.

Even when we’re not aware of just exactly what our impact may be on others, we are aware that we all impact each other. This is not to say that we’re here to make others happy. This is not the case. Instead, we are here to be aware of ourselves. We are here so we can work to be kind, merciful, patience, compassionate, empathic, understanding, etc. when the call comes forth for healing. There is no excuse for us putting no effort into this, because all of us, without exception have the capacity and capability within us to be kind, to be compassionate, to show mercy, to forgive, and to manifest love in all the various forms love can come into this world.

Jesus was asked by a man, “How is it possible for us to change our natures if we are not kind or compassionate or merciful, or loving? It is impossible.” Jesus’ reply was, “Yes. For mankind it is impossible. But with God, All Things are Possible.” With God, all things are possible – even our examining ourselves and awakening to our calling of bringing love in to the Earth in whatever forms Love can manifest. (Matthew 19:26)

It is one thing to be awake to how we impact others, and then to try, try again, fail, drop the ball, try again, fail, try again and again to be awake so that we have an impact which can add better experiences to others and our own lives. But, it is another thing to say this is not my responsibility, this is too much, this is just WOKE policy, and then decide to not even bother/concern ourselves or try by saying Cain’s words to God after he killed Abel – “Am I my brother’s keeper?” with our own answer to God being displayed through our actions to say “No.”

It is a calling to take up the banner of saying “We are our brother’s keeper”, regardless of the quality of our trying. Trying and failing is one thing, but to not even bother to try is something else altogether, because it is every day of our lives that God asks us, “Where is your brother?” and all we have to remember is that with God, all things are possible. With the Infinite Consciousness of the One Life Force – the Infinite Consciousness in which the Infinite All-Life exists – all things are possible.

(This can be very difficult for our finite human minds to comprehend or wrap our minds around.)

*****

It is few and far between – those who take up the banner to wake up – and with them, some successes and some failures happen. With each failure comes the awareness that we can stand up, dust off the trying and then try again, one day at a time. With each kindness, with each act of compassion, comfort, patience, and willingness to offer awareness of the need for better acts from us, comes a healing instead of sorrow.

And many is the number of those who choose to stay asleep, and make little to no effort to ponder their impact on others. But, by our effort and trying examples, they, too, will one day, in some life, in some future, be the soil in which the seeds we plant, can take root. How do I know this? Because that is how it has been done for those of us who recognize this, today, in our lives now. Seeds were planted within us, in our past, and they have been growing.

The question will always be, for every one of us, as individuals, do we seek to be awake – to be good soil for the seeds planted yesterday or long ago – with the challenges of being part of a community of every size, which we give ourselves, as well as the possible worthwhile results, that could, in all truth, help change the world, or do we seek to be asleep with little challenging of ourselves, and with no healing results?

With all sadness and sorrow, there are some who could not recognize this today if it was demonstrated in front of them, just like many could not recognize Christ if He was standing in front of them. To recognize Christ, we must love beginning from within our own heart. When we love, and know we love, then we recognize love pouring forth from our own heart. Christ is the embodiment of Love, and if we don’t have this love within our heart, giving it, sharing it, meaning for it to come forth from within our hearts, then we won’t recognize it when Christ is standing in front of us. We can only recognize love when we’ve given it through our efforts – manifesting it through kindness, compassion, empathy, unselfishness, mercy, forgiveness, patience, humility, etc. etc. etc. Then is when we know it from the inside out because it is a part of us – and as Christ has said, “The Father is within me, as I Am within you.”

God/Christ/Love/Allah/Buddha/Jehovah/I AM/the Infinite Consciousness of the One Life Force is within us, waiting for us to Love, so that It/He/She can come forth into this Earth.

Pray to be taught the Truth.
Pray for help for us to be honest with ourselves.
Pray for all life.
Pray – “Lord, help me be good soil.”

May God Bless Us, Everyone.

Whose is it?

The wisdom, insight, awareness, inspiring words, teachings, and guidance we may write down in articles, books, manuscripts, journals, respected holy writings, etc, are not from the authors of these documents. All of it comes from God. It comes THROUGH people, but it comes FROM God. And all the words, concepts, understandings, teachings, will come forth again and again and again, in whatever form it needs to come forth, until every soul is finished on Earth and helped onto their next realms of learning.

“Holy” is in the eye of the person who learns, gains insight and awareness, is inspired and guided by the Higher Teachings of Spirit. Or rather “Holy” is in that moment when anyone picks it up, reads it and has their world open up, has the “Aha” moment, feels inspired, has their lightbulb over their head moment, begins to open their heart and mind to new and better ways of thinking, feeling, and seeing life, love, relationships, God, our united existence, the Earth, and all other factors of living in greater new ways.

Breathing in the breath of life

The water in the casks, stayed just water until Jesus said pour it forth, at the wedding . We are the same, and remain only the same, until we pour ourselves forth through our actions, thoughts, feelings, and practicing, to bring our Love into the experiences of life. With this Love, and practicing this Love comes understanding, piece by piece, of what all the words that we read mean, because in the practicing, these words have the breath of life breathed into them, and become part of our cellular structure changing who it is that walks in this world in our shoes.

But, if we only read the words, and don’t pour them forth by practicing them through Love in our active living and presence among humanity, then they just remain plain water – never turning into the better wine. Without the Love, that is God, the water, the cells, the words, our minds, our hearts and our souls, aren’t changed. Without practicing Love, we are not fulfilling our potential or our purpose – which is to love. Without practicing, we are staying the same and not transforming into that which we can transform into. We are substituting one non-transformed life for another – like living a life of water instead of a life of better wine, or in Hollywood’s movies’ words, “Like [substituting] water, for Chocolate.”

To Have Faith

Faith in God is not the same as having a belief that God exists. Having Faith is an action verb that we must make a decision about whether to act on this decision or not to act on this decision.

First, we decide whether we’re willing to have faith in God.
Second, we make the conscious decision to have faith in God.
Finally, we act – and have our faith in God.

And if this is difficult, then decide if you’re going to give up on or not give up on – the act of having faith.

The act of having faith is an act of Love … of God, of Christ, of Jesus, of our neighbor and of Life.

The alternative is also a choice.

Feet Planted Firmly in Midair

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.

***

“We are the ordinary water in the flasks. When we answer the call from God/Christ/Allah/Buddah/Jehovah, the One Infinite Consciousness of Love, to come forward, and when we pour ourselves forth, in our world, then do we turn into the better wine.
We are the miracle if we pour ourselves forth, but we stay ordinary water if we stay un-poured.” (The Rainbow Cards, ©, 2024, by Jodie Senkyrik)

The Anti-Christ

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.

Question on Suicide: Part 1. Of the Heart

This is a 3-part series of articles, written to respond to a reader’s question.

Part 1 of 3: Of the Heart

Part 2 of 3: Of the Mind

Part 3 of 3: Karma

*******

“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.

Love, Imagination, and Thinking

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.

The Work of Love

When I mention the phrase the “work of love”, I’m not referring to work or a vocation we love to do. I’m referring to work we do because we love. This work is the inner work we do for the reason that we love the ones who are helped by our inner work.

This is inner work we do to feed those we love – who are hungry.  We clothe those we love, we put a roof over their head, we take them to school, support them in their games, help them with their stuff, work to heal them if they are injured, and all because they need.  We want the best for them, a good life for them, and so we work to accomplish this because we love.  (I’m not just referring to children.)

But, that’s not where it ends.

In addition, we do the inner work of teaching about life – for those who seek to learn, because we love them, and we want them to have knowledge and understanding of life.

We do the inner work to comfort them, because we love them. We know that sorrow and suffering exists, and we know that they will feel their share in life. We do the inner work to comfort them, because we want them to be comforted when they suffer, so they know that they are not alone in their pain. We do the inner work so they will experience healing of their sorrow coming from receiving the love they can experience, and then in knowing that love does exist in a world that also has sorrow and pain… and death.

We are kind to them, because we love them. We want those we love to know the healing that kindness brings – healing the soul and the heart, healing the mind, and even healing our physical bodies. We do the inner work of love bringing kindness into the worlds of those we love, so they know there is kindness to be received and, in turn, kindness to give. We do the inner work of love in being kind, in order to help them become aware that kindness is real; and in being kind, showing that love is real.

Those we love, we are patient with, because we want them to know they are not wrong or bad just because they haven’t yet learned something. We are patient, because we know becoming aware still requires yet more time and effort, like it has with ourselves. We are patient, because learning is a process we went through over a long time, and it will be this way for them, as well.

Those we love, we are patient with, also because we want them to come to believe in a God that is patient, giving all of us what we need, even time – to learn and grow and love, giving us time to understand one another, giving us time to forgive each other, to show mercy to one another, to learn how to choose to have faith in one another, and to learn to be able to live with one another in our world. We do the inner work of being patient, because we love the ones who we want to receive patience, to show them they and their well-being are just as important as all life on this planet is important.

To those we love, we do the inner work of forgiving, because we want them to be forgiven, so they may be cleansed anew without chains of shame and guilt overwhelming them with the weight of one’s past. We forgive, because we hope to give them the experience of being loved for who they are – a human, a soul, a spirit – rather than what they did. Those we love, we forgive, because we want them to be able to receive love, and then give out love by forgiving others.  To those we love, we try to pass on the awareness that there will never be peace on Earth until there is forgiveness in the Earth.  We try to demonstrate this, as we live our life, knowing others are watching us, and learning how to live their lives through our examples.

Those we love, we show mercy, because we have walked in the same shoes and know how difficult life can many times be, how difficult it is to try to do our best, how many times we fail at what we strive for, how often we are selfish instead of unselfish, how often we criticize and condemn, instead of comfort, how often we add suffering to people’s lives instead of ending the suffering, how often we deny others life instead of supporting others’ lives. Those we love, we give mercy, because we ourselves have gained new life from being shown mercy. We’ve gained new help, new healing and new beginnings. We’ve gained new chances and new hope from receiving mercy.

When we do the inner work of love, we experience long-suffering, because we know that sometimes others choose to reject our love, our hope for them, our kindness, our patience, and our forgiveness. When doing the inner work of love for those we love, we know that those we love will choose to cause pain and suffering, that those we love will choose to crucify rather than heal. We experience long-suffering, even when we don’t admit we experience it. Because of our experiences of long-suffering, the inner work of love means for us to give ourselves patience, mercy, kindness, understanding, forgiveness, as well, so that we can carry on with the inner work of love that we strive to fulfill.

And finally,

when doing the work of love, we remember that the source of all love, Infinite Love, and unending Love, sends us the messenger of love, who speaks in our ear, in our mind and in our hearts, as He says “Love one another, as …

I Love You.”

From the 2021 Predictions before I post 2022

How can families, extended families, friends, acquaintances heal and trust each other again if they’ve had completely opposite views and lifestyles or common sense of keeping others safe during the pandemic? C.B.

First, this is not a question of logic. This is a question of the heart – caring for people – caring for others. Throughout our entire lives, we have been and will be faced with these questions and situations. We will ask ourselves these questions about others, and others will ask these questions about us. Do they have our best interest at heart? Do we have their best interest at heart? Do they make room for us to have differing opinions and beliefs? Do we make room for them to have differing opinions and beliefs? These questions have been asked before pandemics existed, and will be asked after pandemics are only memories, because there are millions of ways for each of us to act safe or unsafe in life.

Ultimately, it isn’t an issue of whether we have the same or opposite views, but what our views motivate us to do and how our views motivate us to act towards others. It isn’t an issue of whether we have different or the same lifestyles, but whether we allow there to be room in the world for each of us to have lifestyles of our own choosing.

Giving each other the room to have our own views and lifestyles, is an expression of respect.

Giving respect is an expression of consideration of their life and choices.

Giving consideration of their life, and their choices is an expression of kindness and tolerance of them.

Giving kindness is an expression of love.

And we still love people who’s behaviors sometimes trigger pain for us, in our hearts. And others still love us, even when our behaviors sometimes trigger pain in their hearts. This is the human challenge of loving.

Because there are 8 billion people on the planet, there are 8 billion sets of beliefs, views, opinions, and 8 billion different lifestyles. No two people can ever be the same person, so no two people can ever be the same within our minds and hearts.

If we so choose it – yes, we can rely on logic to determine whether we love, but no one recommends logic being the source. What we learn is that we rely on our heart and soul to determine this. Your question is about loving others who choose differently, act differently, are motivated differently, and let their heart feel differently. There is no way around facing this experience for any human being. We face this challenge every moment of our lives, even if we’re not aware of facing it.

If you are asking for a little logic, when it comes to trusting someone, there are 8 billion people who are human beings, who have both good and bad within them (us). This means there are 8 billion human beings who make mistakes sometimes (but not always), have accidents sometimes (but not always), make poor decisions sometimes (but not always), and lose track of our common sense sometimes (but not always). This means that all people are both trustworthy sometimes and not trustworthy sometimes – this includes ourselves.

We CAN learn to trust people when they’re being trustworthy, and we CAN learn to NOT trust them when they’re not being trustworthy, but we must learn when to trust ourselves to strengthen an honest ability to accurately assess this, so that we can learn to tell the difference between when someone is being trustworthy and when someone is being untrustworthy.

Remember, everyone wants to be loved. Everyone is given opportunities to love. Neither of these two is easy, but they’re still both worth our effort, and all of us know this because we keep trying. These two come hand-in-hand, together – two sides of one coin.
If it helps any, it is a worthy prayer to pray,:

“Lord, help me to love and to recognize and accept the love other’s have for me.”

When we have reached this point, then we can decide how to respond in a pandemic. With one possible response being that we express our caring by giving others the respect for their choices, and give ourselves the respect for our own choices, while at the same time, showing we love/care for them in other ways available, and showing them that we also love/care about our own health in ways available to ourselves…

…and as you know, sometimes, there is pain with the love. The term is called “long-suffering”. It is what we feel when we love someone who acts contrary to what’s best for them or best for all.

May God be with us all in our journey to continue to love the people that we have loved already – while we continue to learn new things about who they are… and who we are.

A New Internet Challenge: Pray many times on the day called “Today”.

I think some might prefer a bucket of cold water poured on oneself, though. Just remember to say, “Oh, My God!” when you do it. (or try it without the cold water.)

Consider the Farmer in the Field…

The farmer wants to pursue a task – to farm the land – to produce – to create more than before. The farmer wants to know self to be a creator of that “something” that doesn’t yet exist, but which is held in the farmer’s mind. The farmer wants to fulfill self’s own potential.

The land is too much for one farmer to farm alone. So, the farmer expands his ability, first with a spouse. The two then increase themselves more, by creating children – each made in the image and likeness of the farmers.

The farmers’ children grow, and develop their freewill to choose their own paths. Each child chooses the tasks they will pursue – some choose farming, some choose other tasks, but each chooses. As these children choose their tasks, they create more of themselves as the farmer did, so as to pursue accomplishing their task. And on and on.

Although extremely simplified in the concept, this is the process of Creation from Infinite Consciousness. God seeks to know the fullness and capacity of the ONE SELF. God seeks to pursue the task of knowing the One God. Infinite Consciousness seeks to know Infinite Consciousness by creating consciousnesses to explore creating – potentially creating infinite consciousnesses to potentially explore infinite creativity. This is the creation of All Life – the “All Life” that we know ourselves to be – plus more. This is the creation of companionship that is within the circle of Oneness.

Understand?

God – the living One Spirit that is all that is – is Infinite Love – and seeks to create more of the One that is all that is – Infinite Love.

To do this, God has created more of Him/Herself – made in the image and likeness of God. God gives freewill to each of the children, to go on and freely create. God/creation is only limited by the consciousness of the one doing the creating – what limitations one chooses for oneself – what limitations WE choose for OURselves.

These limitations – the limitations we have chosen in past and present – are from our own chosen perspectives on living as human beings. These are: limitations on knowing ourselves – limitations on manifesting different forms of love – limitations on loving others and self – which expands into limitations on forgiving others and self – limitations on showing mercy, being kind, showing compassion, being unselfish, being patient with self and others, giving of our time, supporting others, long-suffering, limitations on how much we let go of judging and criticizing others, limitations on how much we let go of condemning others, limitations on our praying for others, on our meditations, and more.

Yet, for all times and half times, we will continue to be Infinite in our potential and capacity – made in the Infinite Creator’s own image and likeness – that image and likeness being Infinite.

Consider the Master Farmer seeking to create that which is the Infinite more of the One that is All – the All that is Love, and the Love that is One – and beyond our current chosen limited understanding . . . (but not really.)

God bless us, Everyone.

State of the Soul Address

The External World

Right now, in the US and the world, so many people are concerned, worried, fearful and many other feelings about our own nation, the world we live in – the world around us –  “The External World” – that which we see, hear, taste, feel and smell, all around us.

Some of us have spent our entire lives focused on the world around us, fixing, working, and accomplishing things in this world.  We may have reached nearing mid-life age or the end of our lives and instead of feeling fantastically accomplished and wonderfully fulfilled, we feel depressed, anxious, upset, resentful or angry, sometimes to the point of medicating ourselves to help us deny this.

So many of us can look at what we’ve accomplished out in the world in our lifetime, and start to experience deep within where it has become nothing but a whisper – that we haven’t changed the world as much as we wanted to during this life.  We haven’t gotten the insight that we thought we’d have.  We haven’t gotten from this path in the way we thought we would, so we get angry and upset, disillusioned and disappointed, and lost in wondering if what we did had any value at all.  If we haven’t made the world into what we wanted by the time we reach “NOW”, we may get depressed, or despondent and sometimes a sense of despair and deep loss may come up within us.

We can even take our anxiety and anger out on others – those who we feel are to blame for us not “changing the world” – not “making the world a better place”.  We see PLENTY of blame and attacks on social media.  We tend to take this anger out on people who we feel “got in our way” of making this world better or our life better.  The daily news shows the worst cases of how some people have demonstrated their utter loss and frustration through killing of others.

Regardless of which side of the fence we’re on with regards to any group or culture we belong to, so many times, we blame others for our own “not making the world into the better place that I wanted to make it into” – this includes not making our own personal, private world or circle into what we wanted to make it into.  We blame others, and …

… even our self (although we don’t always admit to blaming ourselves since “it’s obviously someone else’s fault”).

If we came into the world to make the world a better place for ourselves (and others maybe) “to fix the world”, and therefore, all our effort had been focused on changing the world around us – changing any part of this planet Earth back into a “Garden of Eden” for ourselves (and others, maybe) …

but yet, if we haven’t worked to change/fix/heal/better ourselves …

… then we would have wasted our entire lives.

****

Life is not about fixing the external world around us, in which we’re living.  Many think it is.  We didn’t come into this world, with the #1 directive being to change the External World around us.  We didn’t come with the purpose in life being to change the Earth.

What so many don’t remember and acknowledge is the External World around us – all of it – is the mirror image of what is within us – the mirror image of what is within our consciousness, within our minds, within our hearts and within our souls.  The world that we see and “live inside” is the reflection of what is inside our consciousnesses. What we see around us is the reflection of all of us – what we have within us to work on to change. 

We have made the Earth into our own image and likeness.

Even if we did make great changes in the External World – the Earth – we would still return to whatever level of living/dying/creating/destroying we’re at as the human race – unless we make the great changes within ourselves first.

Change begins with One… then Two…. then ….


We are here to change our own consciousness.  We are here in this level of consciousness – in this “realm” we call the Universe – the Solar System – the Earth – to change our own selves – our conscious and subconscious minds, our hearts at both the  shallowest  and the deepest places within us, and our souls in their full existence.

If we haven’t put effort into changing our own self – we have wasted all the years in the world, and it is only natural that we’re going to feel deep inside our self – that we haven’t accomplished what we came here to accomplish – that we haven’t changed the REAL thing we came to change – our self.

The Portrait of Dorian Gray

Ultimately, this fact is true – if we’ve changed the world around us, but we haven’t changed our self, then we’ve accomplished nothing, because the world will simply eventually revert back to what it was – the reflection – the Earth and the world we think we see – like the portrait of Dorian Gray, which will always reflect that truth which is within us – the unchanged, unexamined issues, harmful emotions and the broken and injured relationships we have with our self and others.

Even now, the world reflects the conflict we have within ourselves – not just with others, but the conflict we have with our own self which we haven’t yet examined, or which we haven’t yet acknowledged or worked on.  It is very true that all of us have some conflict within us which we have not yet examined – waiting for us to get around to it when we have more time – “we’re just so busy, right now.  We’ve got a world to fix, after all.”

The reflection we see in the mirror – the world that we see around us – will continue as it is – as long as we avoid the inner work on the inner world we have within our inner selves.  This reflection is ourselves that we see in the mirror, and it is this that is within which is the source of what we see out there.

The New Reflection

When we change our mind and heart about our judgements, our criticisms, our bitterness, our resentments, our rages, our angers, our fears, our abuses, our attacks, our belittlements, our disrespects, etc. within ourselves, – changed into forgiveness and mercy, compassion, tolerance, loving kindness, understanding, patience with others and ourselves, etc., then we will begin to see the new reflection in the mirror of the planet.  Because some of us have done some of this work, we are already seeing some of this change, but our own part that we play in this change – this is what we must address – sooner or later.

When we address our own issues, then we will have changed the Inner Source of the reflection that we see in the External World around us.

It is when we bring these higher qualities forward when standing in the midst of the lower/harmful qualities. Not in the midst of someone else’s portrait of Dorian Gray, but OUR OWN.  Bringing forth our higher qualities of kindness, mercy, humility, and the others when we have previously brought forth our lower qualities – in the face of our self when we are wanting instead to react spewing forth any manner of negative and harmful qualities – this is the moment of true changing of the world.

***

Christ said, “With God, all things are possible.”  This means that with God – which is the Infinite Source of love, patience, determination, kindness, persistence, wisdom, forgiveness, mercy, compassion – all inner injuries can be healed.  This means that with God – which is love, patience, determination, kindness, persistence, wisdom, forgiveness, mercy, compassion – everything within us that we’ve lost, can be found.  This means that with God – everything about us that is a mess, can be cleaned up and made straight. This means that with God, everything about our real self forgotten can be remembered.   And this means that with God, everything broken within us, can be made whole.

It is with our effort then beginning from the center within us, that the Garden of Eden returns. Then does the Earth we want to have form, come into being. Because the Garden of Eden, the Earth we want to exist, is born from the Love and Kindness, the forgiveness and mercy, the patience and understanding, the determination, persistence, tolerance and compassion that one gives to our fellow human beings – all of them plus one – our self.

And, oh, yes, it absolutely is a challenge, … yet, once more….  as Christ said, “For man it is impossible, but with God, all things are possible” – even changing and growing within our self.

I would go so far as to say, that ONLY with God, is this possible.

Q-A: Truth vs Lies – What Fruit from What Tree?

“I received this [conspiracy] E-mail [message] a couple of days ago… which you may have as well, & I’m overwhelmed at the specific info it entails. … This may or may not resonate with your intel, but have a look.” S.S.

My response regarding what the conspiracy email message says…..

Everyone of us, has our God-given freewill to choose our own path, our own beliefs, and our own choices about participation to learn and grow. This includes our choosing our own struggle with discerning truth and lies. Of our own freewill, we can even choose to be honest —— with ourselves and others – or we can choose to lie and mislead others and ourselves.

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/446700856774895812/

Yet, stepping back and looking objectively, when we consider the intentions or “agendas” of others, we can understand that every soul has both good and bad within us. We have both selfishness and unselfishness in us. As Edgar Cayce said in one of his readings, “There is good in the worst of us, and there is bad in the best of us.” There is no situation, circumstance, vocation, organization or anything where this is NOT the case. Everywhere there are human beings – souls – Edgar Cayce’s statement is true. No one is all good or all bad.

This principle of human character includes those people who have chosen to go into public service – our elected officials – who are people – souls – who have chosen this path (for many thousands of reasons,) and this truth does not change within them just because they disagree with each other and sometimes ourselves…. or just because they get accused and blamed – in other words, ‘demonized’.

There is no escaping the fact that we are all human beings, and they are all human beings, no matter how many times we humanly demonize these human beings inside our own human heads. They are people who experience all the feelings and emotions, ups and downs that all people experience. And there is bad in the best person who has chosen to be an elected official. There is good in the worst person who has chosen to be an elected official. —- As I said, there is good in the worst of people, and there is bad in the best of people.

When it comes time to decide who we trust, we must recognize this duality within ourselves, first. We have both good and bad within our self. At the same time, we must face that where trust is concerned, we do the best we can at figuring out who to trust and how to trust. And we don’t always get it right. If we try again, … and again and again, we can learn from our mistakes – whether it’s ourselves who bring both good and bad, or another person who brings both good and bad.

Because this principle of character is true, no one person is all trustworthy and no one person is all untrustworthy. Therefore, we must recognize that learning about trusting is a learning path only, and never a path of all-knowing who to trust and all-knowing who to not trust.

In our world, now, there are many that want us to buy into their version of the horrors of humanity and their version of the evils of the world, that they are willing to sell to us, with their intending us to follow their instruction on how to save ourselves from “All those others” who they claim “are the evil ones.”

It is very, very easy to sell fear, horror and evil. It is very, very easy to find ourselves overwhelmed, and then believe their claims of the horrors, which they tell us they alone can save us from – when they then tell us, they alone should be trusted.

Even if we are on any type of spiritual learning path, it is easy to be pulled away from the Truth which Christ teaches, because those who sell the story of the evils of others, yell loudly and scream often. They tell us that they alone know what is going on with the evils of the world, and they alone know who is at the center of the evil.

But yet, at the same time, Christ teaches Truth with a soft voice which quiets fear and turns away wrath, which makes us to lie down in green pastures and leads us beside still waters – from the place of loving kindness. We can ask ourselves, is there a stillness or kindness in those that sell their version of horrors and fears?

Christ teaches from patience and from compassion. Does anyone find patience and compassion in the messages meant to further demonize, or warn others to fear the “evil people” which they selectively chose for us?

Christ teaches from forgiveness and mercy. Does anyone find forgiveness and mercy in the writings of those who want us to follow their version of their fear reality and their version of their “secret truth”?

Does anyone find support for mankind’s brotherhood, encouragement for God’s Unending Acceptance and Love, or help with God’s unity and understanding in the writings that tell us that we should be afraid of the people who they tell us to?

If we find no love, no forgiveness, no mercy, no compassion, no patience, no kindness, no brotherhood, no understanding towards others, no support, no courage, no unity with Life and with other human beings, in these writings, or what they tell us, then Christ is not the source of what they offer, nor does He have any connection with it.

They live from triggering adrenaline by their words, selling panic and worry, and marketing fear, for the purpose of bringing harm and abuse, for their own gain. They will sell their panic, worry and fear to anyone who tends to have little interest in seeking God’s Truth, or who does not care about what Christ has to offer. They will sell themselves as “savior”, and claim only they have “truth”.

The Edgar Cayce readings will always tell us that there is good in the worst of us, and bad in the best of us. This reality helps us to see that all of us are equal in our struggles and challenges of being human, and also equal in the eyes of God, who Loves us without reservation – and without even thinking twice about it – all of us equally regardless of how many times we stumble and how great we create a mess in the world.

Eventually, we come to realize that we have the freewill to choose which we act on – which we decide to bring into the world – the good or the bad, the selfish or the unselfish. We then step forth in doing the best we can with bringing forth our choices.

In the same way, we have freewill to choose what to bring into the world with regards to: fear or love. The Light offers kindness, compassion, encouragement, forgiveness, mercy – this FRUIT from the TREE of Christ’s teachings of love, kindness, compassion, forgiveness, brotherhood, courage, faith and the like. Those who peddle fear offer fruit from the tree of fear: separation, isolation, hatred, anger, abuse, harm, confusion, darkness and despair – for these are what grow from the seeds of the fear being sold.

What do we then choose to give to others? What do we then choose to give to those we love? From what tree do we choose to give fruit? There are many of us souls who will choose – of our own freewill – fear and all that grows from this fear. There are many of us souls who will choose – of our own freewill – love and all that grows from love. But, we cannot choose both at the same time. We cannot choose both good and bad at the same time.

We choose day or we choose night. We choose light or we choose the dark. And we choose LIFE or we choose DEATH. We choose Love or we choose fear. But, we choose. And, we choose every single day. And we choose every single hour and minute and second.

We are called to learn, as best we can, what Christ offers. We are called further to try to put the seeds of the Tree of Love within our hearts, so that we can bring forth the fruit which is kindness, compassion, patience, courage, faith, forgiveness, brotherhood, courage and more. If we don’t know what Christ offers, we need only ask Christ directly, “Lord, what do you offer me – me, who is your brother and sister?”

Who do we want as our savior?

Choose.

Psychic Predictions for 2020 (!)

[Originally posted with password protection on Dec. 30, 2019]

[Do go back and reread the 2019 Predictions because I also do put “post-2019” predictions – more than just that particular year – in with the 2019 predictions.]

Do read the previous blog article, Preface to the Psychic Predictions for 2020, which gives much of the overview of 2020, and the 2020’s decade.

A Spiritual Warning Label for Politics

Politics is on A LOT of people’s minds – not just in the U.S., but all over the world.   AND…. No nation is an island all to itself.   The choices all humans on this Earth make, the beliefs all people select for themselves to believe, the actions all individuals everywhere select to carry out – do indeed affect the entire world and all people on it.

With regards to politics, politics is an adrenaline arena (the 3rd Chakra) in which being involved in, and expressing our political views and opinions about, we tend to get engrossed and pumped with adrenaline.  Yet, we could get “our senses” back if we understand more about this factor.  Jesus gave us a guideline for our involvement when He said, “Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s, but render unto God, that which is God’s”.  This statement has relevance to this particular arena of Chakras.

Politics is a THIRD Chakra involvement – fight or flight, conflict, us vs. them, the sports arenas – fear, anxiety, and aggression.  It is in the realm of duality.  Having experienced any of these descriptions, and having been caught up in our own tug-of-war, when we take a step back and breathe, catching ourselves, we can understand then what it’s like for all other humans to walk in the shoes of being caught up in this, as well.  Our own struggle and adrenaline-filled battle helps us to understand why others struggle and go after their adrenaline-filled battles.  Just how easy it is to jump back into the dominance of the 3rd Chakra experiences of politics is also just how easy it is for others to jump back into the dominance of the 3rd Chakra experience of politics.  Understand this.

Moving into the 4th Chakra is how to move out of the 3rd Chakra dominance.  As Jesus said, “Perfect love casts out fear.”  Moving into the Heart Chakra, the Chakra where Love resides and also Christ/God resides, helps us move out of the 3rd Chakra, the Chakra where Fear, Anxiety, Aggression, and the like, can reside.  Moving into the 4th Chakra brings back oneness and unity, where staying only in the 3rd Chakra builds duality and separation.

Therefore, Jesus’ statement above, also means “Render unto the 3rd Chakra, that which is the 3rd Chakra, but render unto the 4th Chakra, that which is the 4th Chakra.”  Render unto this political arena that which politics needs – involvement, but render unto ‘Loving God above all else and Loving our neighbor as our self’ that which ‘Loving God and each other’ then needs.  It is the second part of this which individuals forget.

And finally, it is written that even some of the elect will be misled.  It is important to pay heed to this statement.  Remember, the followers of Christ can be identified by their demonstration of living out the fruits of the Spirit – not by what a person would say or claim.  It is not that difficult to be misled.  Common sense, an open mind, and an open heart are also spiritual qualities.   And mankind will survive this coming decade because, and I repeat what the Edgar Cayce readings say, “There is good in the worst of us, and bad in the best of us.”   We are all human beings and all very similar in our capacity for being human in every sense of the word.

“Where there is willingness, there are ways. Where there is no willingness, there are no ways.” (The Rainbow Cards, ©, 2019, Jodie Senkyrik)

And So We Begin

2020 Predictions related to U.S. Politics

The US Federal governmental political warring, which we’ve been witnessing so far, will escalate more in Nov/Dec of 2020 and will last for 6 years (added 9/9/2020: “and will include some pockets of violence.”) It will be a war of words, bitterness, and great animosity – a war that could end families and bring death to friendships.

It will be a long and drawn-out war filled with disrespect and contempt. People will walk the streets pretending that all is okay, and there is no problem with where things are. The Republicans will blame all disasters on the Democrats and the Democrats will consider the Republicans to be insane.  The chasm between people who claim to be one or the other will widen due to people individually choosing to see life as black and white, instead of “all colors in between” – the demonizing of the other person out of anger, bitterness and resentment.

SIDENOTE: Because, it is the responsibility of every soul to clean up our own messes made within this Earth from every past life…. And it is the responsibility of every soul, via living successive lives, to heal every injury and to fix everything we’ve individually broken from this and other past lives – including our relationships….  Some Democrats will try to fix their broken mistakes from past lives, and some Republicans will blame everything that’s broken on the Democrats.   And some Republicans will try to fix their broken mistakes from past lives, and some Democrats will blame that which is broken on Republicans.  This carries through elected officials, because it is within the voters’ souls to carry it through.

The path of healing can be guided from the statement:

“The only way to win this game is to not play.”  The only way to win at politics is to not participate in it from ONLY the 3rd Chakra consciousness but rather bring in the 4th Chakra and that which resides within the heart.  Remember that we are a diverse nation of people, and therefore, we value many diverse things of life.  Because we value many diverse things of life, we pursue making all these different things of life better.  With “not having the resources to save the “poor” [those with limited resources to make life better],” we are limited in how we make the world around us better.  But, we are not limited in how much kindness, mercy, patience and compassion which we can bring forth.  Our capacity for these fruits is Infinite.

This means stepping back out of the “fight or flight” 3rd Chakra-only battles.  This means stepping out of the sports arena – to let go of adding attacks, fear (added 9/9/2020: “and aggression”) to the world.  This means letting go of the need to win against another person – the battle of verbal and emotional abuse.  This also means letting go of the call to judge or shame another.

“The Earth is a reflection of humanity’s consciousness.

If we are abusive, we will abuse the Earth, as well. If we are in conflict with each other, we will be in conflict with the Earth, as well.

But, if we are kind to each other, we will be kind to the Earth, as well. If we show compassion to each other, we will show compassion to the Earth, as well” (The Rainbow Cards, ©, 2019, Jodie Senkyrik)

***

The adrenaline will begin with the Impeachment.  As expected, the Senate will not convict Donald Trump.  The months of January – March will be the most charged for this adrenaline-filled time and we’ll see it everywhere in the news and online until the Senate finishes their part.  This news arena will start the “primary races” which will begin in February – and from then until the Conventions in June, everyone will be actively commenting on “everything politics”.  Social media will be more active than even today.  There will be a steady high level of activity and much reporting on the political happenings as they happen.  This is to be expected, and easily foreseen by many.  You don’t need to be psychic to see this.

In the Democratic race, the current top 3 along with one more, will continue to be the four front runners throughout the primaries, leading up to the convention – Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders.  Each will win their share of states.  I still continue to see a “white man” chosen as the presidential candidate and I see a woman chosen as vice president running mate.  I believe the woman could be Kamala Harris.  BUT, there is some fluctuation, yet.

If Donald Trump is the Republican Nominee, it is the Democratic nominee who will win in November.  I’ve seen this for many years, and it hasn’t changed  !!  There is a slim chance (3-6% out of 100) that a different Republican nominee could be selected, but at this time, it does look like Pres. Trump will be nominated, again.  I’ve always stated that the 2016 winner would be a 1-term president no matter who won.  I never seen anything changing this.  I also see the person going 2 terms – to 2028.

After the November 2019 elections, the Senate will remain Republican, the House will remain Democrat, and the White House will go Democrat – if voters get out and vote.  If 150 million voters read this blog and decided not to go vote that could change, but I see much, much, much less than that number reading this little, obscure psychic blog.

This means that the conflict in D.C. will escalate to the point of almost metaphorically “setting fire to the town.”  In the 6 years following 2020, when the new administration takes over, there will be more political fighting that ever before.  Little major change will get done in those years and the number of agreed bills will reach a low number.  The conflict I see is so extreme that I’m not even sure I can come up with words to describe it, but this is what I see.  Try this image – someone standing at the door outside and knocking, ever with more vigor as time continues – and inside are some that are pushing against the door preventing it opening with all their strength, barring the door with everything that can muster, like in the movies – piling furniture up against the door to make the door even harder to open.

There will be almost no working together at all, and therefore, no winners to this conflict.  AND the fewer people who get involved with the verbal war, the better the chance of each of us not losing our own souls in this.  The phrase in the Bible is appropriate here – “What does it benefit us to gain what we seek, if we lose our soul in the process?”  There are many who are seeking to lose their soul, something every one of us deeply regrets afterwards, especially when we realize inside ourselves that we were meant to help in these times by following the examples of Christ … and not jump into the fire with even more cans of gasoline in our hands.

The only way to win this war is to not go to war, or put another way – the only way to win in this sports arena is to not enter this sports arena.

Again, I will repeat:   Something to remember,  “Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s – political participation – but render unto God, that which is God’s – compassion, patience, and willingness to step back and not participate in the verbal abuse war.  I see many of us people who think and believe our own [4 letter word] doesn’t smell so bad, and so our own participation in the verbal abuse war is okay.  This is the failure.  The only way to win the verbal abuse war is to not participate.  If we feel the adrenaline in our words and actions, then we have stepped out of the healing of the 4th Chakra.

*************************

Around the world, there will be a few other elections, but for the most part, there will be little change to those people in leadership positions in 2020.  If anyone sends me a question about their own election (in the comments area of this post), I will answer in the comments area, as well.

In Britain, the results of the Brexit struggle will continue on for another 4 years. Brexit will happen, but it will be only words on paper, not in any way in which the details will be worked out. Some lesser parts won’t be resolved for another 12 years.

“The question is not who is in political power that will help the world. The question is who is in spiritual power that will help the world.” (The Rainbow Cards, 1996-2019, ©, Jodie Senkyrik)

I am stating these predictions with much feeling and concern, but at the same time, I also know that there has been no change in the very real fact that Christ, Buddha, the One, Allah, Yahweh, the Father/Mother God, the Infinite Consciousness of God, etc. walks with us as we face any and every challenge.  Love exists in this world and Love will not leave us, ever.  We merely need to draw upon the love inside our own hearts, and the presence of God will be with us in the most real of ways, guiding us and helping us in whatever ways we need.  With faith and trust, we will grow in our knowing this.

Predictions for Climate Change (Global Warming) in 2020

I associate these weather predictions with Climate Change, because I see that these events are more severe because of Climate Change.  In addition, there are more weather disaster events because of these Global Warming patterns.  If we did not have Global Warming, we would have much less weather related events, and much less severe weather. 

In 2020, the people of the world will see new records broken in weather in this year, also.  While the topic is on the front lines of the political scene, it will be on the front lines in people’s lives, also.  This is because, in 2020, thousands will die all over the world because of disasters related to the increase in the climate crisis.  Yes, our prayers can save many, but we have reached the point in time where the metaphor is true – the ship sails and we are either on it or not.  This next decade is being written in time, and the amount of time which healing can happen on a massive scale is all but gone.  Our continued efforts for prayer and meditation can yet help on smaller scales – individuals, and communities.

In general, I see the continued and unending patterns of glacier melting, ice melting in the Arctic region throughout the entire year.

I see massive flooding and deadly mudslides in the mountains of India and Southeast Asia, in the Spring, starting in March with a possible small earthquake off the coast between India and Southeast Asia, sometime in April/May/June (I’ll recheck this as time progresses.)  These major floods and mud slides will cause thousands of deaths.

“We believe that which we believe, because of our own freewill, we choose to believe it, and for many different reasons and agendas, none of which may have anything to do with truth.

We don’t believe that which we don’t believe, because of our own freewill, we choose to not believe it, and for many different reasons and agendas, none of which may have anything to do with truth.” (The Rainbow Cards, ©, 1995-2019, Jodie Senkyrik)

Hurricanes in the Pacific and the East Coast
I’m currently seeing at least 3 major Pacific Ocean typhoons.   Possibly the Hurricane season/Typhoon season will bring as much as 5-6 storms which will travel across the Pacific. I see 1 hitting the Philippines straight on. Another will graze the Philippines going southwest of it.  FYI, in a previous reading done in 2019, I saw 12 storms in the Pacific.

The southern half of Japan will experience 1-2 of the storms. I think one will go south of Japan going westward.  And another storm in the northern half of Japan.  I see flooding and massive rain from the southern storm. I see loss of electricity in a large area of the southern half of Japan, (during the first half of the year).  I see a minimal loss of life.

I don’t see Hawaii being directly affected by hurricanes in 2020, but they will have a strong storm with high winds and a great amount of rain. I see a lot of people losing electricity.  (March, 2020 and/or early July, 2020)

All these areas mentioned – the people need to be prepared. I have not added the month or time of year they will come, and constant preparation is what is called for because I see them spread out in time.  They will start early and go throughout the season.  With a possible last one in October.

In 2020, in the late spring to late summer time range, I’m seeing a possible small earthquake, about a 4.0 or so, South to Southwest of Hawaii with a possible triggering of a Tsunami going southward. I do see potential damage for people in the islands in the path even if the Tsunami is small. While it won’t be a large tsunami, it will be devastating to them, because they are small islands and won’t have much protection or warning to help them.  In the general direction of the Phoenix Islands.

The other 2 tsunamis are 1 medium size along the S. American coast and 1 smaller one of which I’m not seeing where, yet.

I do see a small earthquake in Alaska in 2020, in the Aleutian Islands.  I don’t see any major effects from it.

*********************

The hurricane season in the US is more and more going to see the East Coast  having hurricanes and tropical storms.  At least 6 hurricane/tropical storms in the Atlantic Ocean, 2 going into the Gulf of Mexico, 2 1/2 to 3 affecting the US East Coast, and 2-3 other storms will go north along the coast, but not go inland, instead going out into the Atlantic Ocean.  The hurricanes in the East Coast are caused by the warming of the Atlantic ocean where hurricanes are born, with the Atlantic’s warming caused more and more by the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest as well as other warming factors.  The warming creates higher pressure and within the US, the higher pressure inland pushes the hurricanes up the East Coast and more out to the Atlantic in a northern and northeastern direction.

The 3 strong storms affecting the coastal states of Georgia and the Carolinas will dissipate as they get into the Virginias. There will be a lot of rain and flooding. Expect loss of electricity to last for up to 10-14 days in some areas.  The years ahead will see these states getting hurricanes over and over.

I see 2 small storms go across/or up the west coast of Florida and going into Alabama and Mississippi northward. I see a storm going into the Yucatan Peninsula area, as well.  It’s path will be off the coast of Venezuela and through the Caribbean Sea.  Those going up the East Coast, I see their paths being north of Puerto Rico, which will be affected by winds and rain.  I think 1 will go south of Puerto Rico.

As I mention above, I’ll repeat that these East Coast areas are the areas now that will be more and more in the paths of hurricanes which develop in the Atlantic. This is one of the global warming patterns which is growing more dominant. The patterns of storms during 2020 is a sign of things to come – this season is a good representation of an average new weather pattern which will repeat itself many times in the years to come.

Hurricanes, like Sandy, going further north than usual, will also happen as part of this new established pattern, but these will not be the norm. Not yearly, but at least 1 ever 6-7 years on average.  However, in the further north areas, they will average 1 every 5 years after 2050 through the end of this century.

In Texas, the drought will continue and very little rain if any, will fall from the beginning of May to next October.  Livestock will suffer.  In the Southeastern US states, I see cool weather, and less rain than usual, but not as bad as Texas.

I see California may have an earthquake in Northern California, northeast of Sacramento in March-May.  It will be large enough to cause damage, but will not be a record breaker.

Just because we see nothing but darkness, doesn’t mean the light has gone out. Sometimes, it’s because we’ve closed our eyes.  (The Rainbow Cards, ©, 2006-2019, Jodie Senkyrik)

The Midwestern states

There will be no relief for the diminishing water sources in the Midwest.  The lessening water sources will shrink even more in 2020.  There will be some rain during the first 3 months of 2020, going into April, but it won’t be at the level which previous years brought.  Farmers will struggle with getting water for their crops – getting more water from the region’s rivers, including the Missouri and Mississippi.

Food prices will continue to go up in 2020 and will stay there. The food supplies coming from the Midwest will decrease again.

Nebraska and Kansas – the water shortages will put a strain on water sources.  Both of these states will suffer more in the 2020’s with ever greater water shortages.

*******

In Central Africa, (Sudan or Congo?) I see a darkened energy build engulfing a major area of Central Africa – whether this is disease or drought or human caused, I am not yet seeing.  This dark cloud has started already and will become even worse. While this could be a combination of disease, social upheaval and government not having solutions, I believe I’m seeing it be a severe heat wave and drought.  This heat wave/drought could lead to great unrest – including military actions.

Russia will set low temperature records across Siberia.

In 2020, Britain‘s weather will not have spikes, as other countries, but I see an ever growing increase in wet weather, causing crop problems, and an increase in summer temperatures. Agriculture in UK will fare okay, but it will become more difficult due to this wetter weather. Farmers will call out for some governmental help due to a partial loss of crops.

“If we’re having trouble praying, we can ask God to help us with it.” (The Rainbow Cards, ©, 2006-2019, Jodie Senkyrik)

*******

The US Economy

In 2020, there is an uneasy, wobbly economy – not stable by any definition of the word.  While it won’t happen in 2020, the second half of the year will bring reports of serious problems and serious signs of serious economic problems coming.  These problems will arrive – some in 2020, at the end, and some in 2021-2022.

in 2021, with the very real battle between the Congressional Republicans and those who they choose as their abject enemies – anyone who is not supporting them or not their base – there will be very little that can be done to help the economy stabilize.  Short-term downturns will be experienced periodically.  The hardest hit in the coming years in the US, 2021-2024, and more in 2025-2026, will be middle and low income people, because these people are the ones who will lose their jobs.  Farmers are going to have even more problems economically besides all the other problems farmers are going to face.  Yet, there is time, again – for prayers.

Because of the major conflicts in the US between the different political groups, the economy of the US will suffer, setting the stage for Europe to become the stable economy of the world – taking the US’s place in prominence.  Many world policies will be changed to recognize this and take advantage of Europe’s strong economic stability.

*******

More Mass Killings in the US (unless more prayer comes)

I mention these because praying can help these events diminish, in the same way that praying can help all destructive – and “low vibration” (dark) energy in the process of manifesting in physical life – to diminish – or be absorbed.  In 2020, I see at least a possible 7 large-number mass shootings which will garner national news reporting, because of the high number of people hurt and killed.  There will be many more that qualify but are small numbers of people killed and so don’t garner major national news reporting.  Again, continued prayers for people will help to diminish these – helping to reduce the numbers of people hurt and killed – as well as help forces to hinder or heal the mind sets which lead people to do this.

At this time, if all things stay the same – with little or no prayers to help heal these, then we have not yet seen the worst that is still to come.  People will feel that we have no way to stop these from happening – what with the battle-lines-drawn situation which exists among the people of the US.  Again, this is a call for prayer – something which we can do – otherwise, we will see this happen over and over and over and over and over, again.

Terrorist Attacks around the World

I do see another Terrorist attack in Southeast Asia.  I believe what I see is a device at a train station in Myanmar in spring, 2020.  However, if it doesn’t happen in spring, the people seeking to do this will move to another location and later time.  Their intention is to do this – to cause harm and death.   AGAIN ! CONTINUED PRAYERS FOR THE PEOPLE CAN HELP TO DIMINISH OR HEAL THESE EVENTS !

“It is irrelevant whether in our mind, we think that we can or cannot do something. What is more impactful is if we’re willing or not willing in our heart. It is the one who is not willing, who cannot. It is the one who is willing, who can.” (The Rainbow Cards, ©, 2006-2019, Jodie Senkyrik)

North Korea

I do see the current cross-talk leading to January’s high tension between the US and NK.  February will be quieter, but in March, tensions will rise again, for a different reason than in January.  I do see NK putting a satellite in orbit.  I am NOT seeing efforts to start a legitimate war.  Leaders on both sides are concerned with their public presentation to ensure the morale of their supporters.

China

For 2020, I see that China’s government desires to increase trade, in order to stimulate the economy within China.  This is a primary goal of the Chinese government.  In addition, in 2020, it will seek to further it’s space program.  China does have a growing economy.  Meanwhile, China, also, has to face Global Warming, and will see their own disasters related to drought in some areas, and severe flooding in others.

[I did not foresee the Covid-19 pandemic for 2020.  However, in 2008, I did see this …. China.]

Russia

The prayers from the people of Russia will help Russia.  There is a sense of futility with a major percentage of Russian citizens.  What they’ve lived through – through this century and the last century, has weighted down many people.  God does hear prayers, and it will be through their prayers, that life will change.  However, as long as so many people think that it is futile to try, and therefore they don’t try, and don’t pray, then circumstances will continue as is.

The Middle East

I see many nations’ governments’ leaders working to not have their country take center stage with having all their events be on the front page of media around the world.  They will be seeking to keep mostly low profiles as to not get attention drawn to them.  All of these nations will be watching to see who will be elected in November.

Saudi Arabia

In 2020, I see the Saudi government trying to present itself as a legitimate peace-seeking, cooperation-offering nation of the world … to the world’s people in the media.  Reforms established in 2019, will stay in place with 1 or 2 exceptions/changes.  A few minor reforms will be set in 2020.   There will be information and reports which will tarnish the image.

The economy of Saudi Arabia will be semi-stable.  There will be some general fluctuation during the summer when oil prices fluctuate again at the beginning of summer.

Israel

The elections in Israel will not bring much change in the administration currently in place.  The policy and attitudes will be the same – 2020 will bring very little change in policy – bringing similar or the same circumstances and events as we’ve seen in 2019.  I am seeing armed conflicts – explosions at borders – not all year long, but incidences happening in April/May.

Syria

I see the situation in Syria continuing to be as it has in 2019.  While I see 2020 being a “quieter” year with regards to what the world is shown, it will be a country of hardship inside the borders.

European Union

I’m seeing the EU, Europe as a whole, establishing policy which will help to make Europe a solid economic and financial presence/power going into the 2020’s.  Europe will be seen as being stronger than any single nation of the world, including the US because of the US’s economic wobbliness.

Poland
Poland’s society’s struggles will continue on through many years. While the governments of its neighbors to the East sometimes don’t mind that Poland struggles in this way, their neighbors to the East will have their social struggles as well, and enough to frustrate those in leadership positions with things not going their way. The evolution of societies towards a people-centered “democracy” will not be stopped. While some leaders work to suppress it and can temporarily prevent it, they find that the roots of people-centered governments are alive and strong and continue to grow regardless of reversal tactics. It is only a matter of time.

“There will never be a day that we can stop hatred and violence in the world by opposing it using hatred and violence.”  (The Rainbow Cards, ©, 2006-2019, Jodie Senkyrik)

*******

South America

In 2020, I do see a major natural disaster – an earthquake in Southern Columbia or Northern Peru.  As early as April, or as late as June.  Most likely in May.  In the decade of the 2020’s, South America will be a hotbed of earthquakes through the years.

Asia,

I see armed conflicts in NE India – between military/police and civilians.  This will be throughout the beginning 8 months of 2020.

*******

I see the tariff “wars” continuing on into the summer of 2020.  More discord will develop between the U.S. and Europe during 2020.  This discord will diminish near the end of the year, with the change in the presidency.  Europe is poised to become a strong economic force in the 2020’s, taking the US’s place, because of the severe internal conflicts and problems which the US will go through from the log jam of the Federal Government.

Australia

Examining Australia and Global Warming, I’m seeing a continuation of the fires in Australia.  2020 will continue with the fires, but they’ll begin to diminish in June and July, which is wintertime in Australia.  But, the fires will begin again as Australia enters into its summer – the 2nd half of November and then December of 2020.  Further on, 2021 will be another year of fires, but I see 2022 as having significantly less fires.

Australia is in a position/location on the Earth, in which exists a process of focused pressurizing.  The changes in weather patterns are triggering ever greater atmospheric pressure – pushing away low pressure systems which would otherwise bring rain, as well as create situations which make Australia more capable of having such serious high pressure systems, that make fires more common.  Australia will suffer from these factors for the next 40 years.  This is the reality of Climate Change/Global Warming.  Australia’s government can do little to change this,  anymore.

As the years go on, the lack of replenishing water will motivate much effort to develop technologies to produce water, but even this is almost 2 decades away.

In 2020, Australia’s economy will be stable, but will be slowing down at the end of 2021, going into 2022.

*******

In 2020, I see the stock markets being moderately active – less so than previous years because of the desire to wait and see what happens in the US elections.  While there will still be regular trading, 2020 will be seen to be a slow year.  I am not seeing a recession hit, yet in 2020, but there will be much talk about economists seeing the US economy going in that direction.  Most of this talk will be in the later half of 2020.  The 2nd half of the year, will see mild trading in the US stock markets, because of the major importance being put on the November elections.  Many businesses and investors are waiting to see what happens.

In 2020, the general attitude of voters throughout the US will lean toward focusing on state elections, with the belief that there is more influencing the policies of the state government to move in the directions voters want to go in.  There is some feeling and thought that “if we can’t influence the Federal government, let’s focus on the state elections which could return more control going in the desired directions.”  There will be more effort to sway the state governments to move in policy directions which are independent of the Federal policies.

In 2020, I don’t see a solution being presented regarding the mountains of plastics which are polluting the planet.  There won’t be a recycling path for plastics which would help in a large scale way.  I do see new ideas being made known and begun to be put forward in the fall months, but these ideas would take more time than just 2020 to put into action and see if the impact is large enough.

Plastics is a huge business force, and plastics are made from petroleum.  Both together are a massive force in the economics of the world.  I don’t see much change in the production side during any of the 2020’s.  Currently, I’m seeing a small solution happening in the 2nd half of the 2020’s.  But, this solution won’t be a wide-scale solution.

There will not be a social breakdown after the November elections.  There will be much heated words, and much voiced anger, but not a social breakdown.

Medical Industry

The Pharmaceutical Corporations are anchoring themselves deeper in the fields of Medical Practice.  With their ever deepening influence in the Field of Medicine, more and more of the laws will be written, and licenses will be based on, requiring treatments using drugs rather than Holistic or non-drug treatments.  This influence is for the purpose of ensuring that the drugs which they create are purchased.  While this is not widely viewed, the Opioid Crisis brought, to the forefront, the mindset which directs so many of the pharmaceutical corporations.  The year 2020 will see this become embedded even more.

*******

Oil Industry

The Oil Industry will not fade away.  It will be a strong industry for many decades yet, and in some form, for several centuries yet.  In 2020, there is little to predict except that it will be business as usual.

*******

Renewable Energy Industry

In 2020, I see the R. E. Industry forging ahead, struggling with going against the current of social norms and present day government policy.  The companies producing as well as doing research are the ones which will last into the decades ahead.  In 2020, these companies will be worthwhile investments.  More and more renewable energy systems will be established and producing.  Renewable Energy is the future.  And likewise, the Electric Car is the future.

“No matter where we live on this planet, all 7+billion of us humans – when we look into the sky, we all see the exact same moon, and it’s because we’re all living on, and in contact with, the one exact same planet Earth.  As simple as this sounds, it differentiates us from all the other many planets, systems and galaxies in the universe, because WE, together, are on THIS planet.  This is a fact which unites us all.”  (The Rainbow Cards, ©, 2019, Jodie Senkyrik)

Praying for Now

When we see what is happening in our world, our nation, our state, etc., regardless of what our POV’s, our paradigms, our opinions, and our feelings are, one real thing we can do is pray :

“God, help us.  God, help us.  God, help us….”  … ALL.

On ALL sides of the issues are souls.  Through eternity are all the souls struggling, in sorrow, in pain, seeking …. that which is a better way …

… EVEN WHEN horror, more sorrow and more pain is what we create.

It is the prayers and meditations for ALL that flows through the Christ.  It is the healing of ALL life that is the source of power within Christ.  Not just the people or things we personally want…. but ALL life.

When we leave the prayer to God to fill in the rest, which requires us to believe that God/Christ knows better than we do where and how our prayers can help ALL, God carries our prayers to help heal ALL.

When we pray for ALL souls – which includes ourselves – who bring forth pain and suffering for others – which we all still do in some way in our lives – this is when we connect to the way that leads to accomplishing the purpose of the prayers and meditations.

“God, help ALL life.  God, help ALL life.  God, help ALL life.”

*******

We will see things get worse for so many of us.  As I’ve said in so many postings on this blog, we are entering into THE dark times, or more accurately “darkened times” – darkened because these times include the manifesting of more events which have little love and little light in them – far away from Love and Light.

These times are the “3rd of 3 Events” which I’ve spoken up for years.  These times are created by consciousness which seeks to not manifest Love and Light.  This consciousness has been growing from and is the combined consciousness through thousands of years, and through hundreds of millions of souls, if not over a billion souls throughout time on this planet – throughout the existence of mankind.

We are experiencing the manifesting of much of this darkened energy in order to engage the higher part of ourselves to bring forth Light and Love, and forgiveness, and mercy, and compassion, and patience, and long-suffering (which we’re experiencing) and more….  into the relationships we have with people and ALL life – both directly in our life and indirectly in our life, because we are on the same planet with ALL human beings.

Our prayers and meditations are the medical response to ALL souls suffering, in sorrow and pain, right now.  We are the front-line of the energy of this planet – and our prayers and meditations are the treatment and medicine for ALL.  This energy doesn’t just create a new environment, but it can and does strengthen, raise, and enliven/activate the Spirit, Power and Love active in the planet – within the hearts and minds of individual people/souls.

And remember, we are not the Master Physician.  We are the healing assistants saying, “Here I am, ready to help.  Guide me in how I can.  Use my prayers and meditations for God’s plan for ALL life.”

There is much more to be said about right now, and I will add as much as I can as time continues.

God, help us, ALL.  God, bless us, ALL.

Breathing In and Out

So many helpers, gurus, speakers and teachers speak of our choosing to change ourselves and showing better qualities for our life and times – for on into the future. But, I don’t think we need to do that – for the future, that is. I think we can simply do it for a single moment of our lives.

I think we don’t need to take on such a huge-future task.  I think we can choose from our better heart and mind to love and show the many forms of love, … yet only in a moment – a moment of our life – that particular moment in which we find ourselves taking a breath in and letting it out – in the moment of our life in which we find ourselves breathing.

It is whenever we find our self in that moment that we’re breathing, in that moment, it is easiest to choose to express the better qualities of being human.

Whenever we find our self in a moment that we’re breathing in and out, in that moment, it can be easier to choose to show kindness and mercy.

If we find ourselves in a moment that we’re taking a breath into our lungs, in that moment, we can choose to be patient with another.

We don’t need to offer these qualities in those moments in the future which we haven’t yet taken a breath. We don’t need to show these qualities during the breath that has already gone into the past.

This awareness is only for a special moment in our lives – the moment in which we are breathing air into our lungs in our chest. Are you breathing air into your lungs at this moment? If so, then try this and see.

In this moment, we can choose to learn and understand about another person’s human experience. In this moment, we can choose compassion for the person we see going through hard times. In this moment of breathing in and out, we can choose to extend mercy from within our heart and mind. In this moment of taking a breath, we can forgive.

Taking a breath in and letting it out is a unique experience happening in this moment right now in our lives. I don’t think we need to do it in the future. I think our choosing how to love our neighbor as ourselves, can be for only in the moment while we’re taking a breath in, and while we’re letting the breath out.

Realizing this sure could make it easier to love, since we only are asked to love in that moment that we are breathing.

God bless us, Everyone.
