IMPROMPTU DAILY(?) MUSINGS

by Roger Hathaway

June 25, 2011 (Love and Addiction)

       I lay here this morning thinking how easy it is to become addicted to this world. We experience pleasant sensations through our senses, so we learn how to repeat them. Lacking sweets for a time gets me to craving that pleasure again. Inhaling smoke and a little carbon monoxide into my lungs makes my brain a little giddy, so I become addicted to that feeling. It is a sensation which one desires to experience again and again, and then feels he can't do without. Addiction is a psychological dependency; it is a mental attitude. No substance is physically addicting; there is no such thing as substance addiction, not alcohol or even heroin. It is the sensual experience that one becomes accustomed to until he feels he can't live without it.

        After the Viet Nam war, a psychotherapist, Stanton Peele, wrote a book titled Love and Addiction. It was published in 1975. I've not read the book for many years, but as I recall, he worked with many of the Nam returnees who had gotten addicted to heroin in Nam. He found that many of them, even heavy users, left their addiction without suffering any withdrawal symptoms or further desire for it. What was happening? He discovered that it was all a matter of lifestyle change. A soldier in Nam, in the stress of combat, quickly became dependent on the effect of heroin to relieve his stress and perhaps make him feel euphoric. For him, heroin was a wonderful blessing which he could not decline. But, when he returned to his home and family and friends, he was content and happy with the lifestyle he had formerly known. So, he no longer needed the drug to do for him what it had done in Viet Nam. The dependency had been purely psychological.

        Dr. Peele then goes on to describe that a love relationship is exactly the same kind of addiction. One desires the continuance of that pleasant feeling of affection; even the hormones get excited. And just like with heroin, one might later develop a hatred toward whatever he has become dependent upon, but it has become such an essential part of his lifestyle that he feels he can't live without it. When one feels that he is powerless to quit something from his life, then he begins to hate that drug or person or sensation which he feels has power over him. He wants to be free from it, but then he uses his freedom to reclaim it; it's catch-22.

        I remember, as a police officer responding to domestic crisis calls, that I would be called to the same residence time and again. Sometimes I would even say to one or both parties, "you obviously hate each other, why do you stay together?" Stanton Peele's book explained why. The presence of the other person was a known whereas life without him/her would be an unknown. Already depressed and feeling powerless before his/her dependency, one doesn't feel capable of facing the unknown. It is easier to tolerate a hateful presence than to confront the fear of its absence.

        So it is with each of us, addicted to this World. Even though we learn the truth about it and realize that we are addicted to Satan's lie, we have learned to live with it and have learned certain techniques whereby we can even enjoy it. To follow Jesus' demand that we die to this world seems impossible. World is our known, our bodies are knowns; we fear death as an unknown. Oh, sure, we might deeply feel that homesick longing to return to our source and our loving Father, but we are addicted to this conscious experience.

        Drugs, love, marriage, sweets, music, beauty, caress, passion, World, all psychological dependencies. None of them really has power over us, but we are accustomed to their presence in our lives so much that we fear their absence. Understanding the nature of one's addiction might help an addict. Peele's work has helped me; I'm still not totally free of this World, but I'm working on it.

        I just googled "Stanton Peele" and see that he has a website which looks interesting: http://peele.net/

June 24, 2011 (Get free!)

        For many of us, "Freedom" isn’t just a word, a national policy, an excuse for a war; rather it is a deep instinctive yearning, without which life is incomplete and unhappy.

        I want to talk about freedom because I think it is a powerful need of our people. While most races are communal by nature, our white race Israel individuals yearn for freedom. Cities might be appropriate for other races — remember that it was Cain who built the first city — but Christ’s followers are willing to walk alone and stand alone and think alone. Sadly, we’ve been corralled into communes and we’ve been beaten into fearfulness and insecurity. We know that we would love to stand alone in a desert to watch the stars above and to contemplate God and purpose, but we’ve been conditioned to fear that kind of solitude, so we simply fantasize it in our imaginations where we feel more safe.

        Yet, it is freedom to which Jesus calls us; it is ours to achieve if we would follow Him. We like to talk about freedom, but we let it rest there in just words. We like to identify with action heroes because they exercise their freedom in actions! After the movie ends, we enjoy the feeling of power and freedom, and we know that it is our true selves that we are feeling. We like that.

        So, can one get there from here? What is the path? Anybody got a map? Okay, no map, but it might help to first ponder the truth that you are fearful, analyze the problem, imagine possible solutions, decide on what first step you might take, and then begin the journey.

        Personally, I learned fearfulness as a child and it stayed with me into adulthood. The world was my enemy (not totally untrue) and I was going to defend myself at any cost. What’s more, I learned that offense is a good defense, so I practiced it. I was always hyper-alert, not trusting anyone, hands on my hips even when at rest. My muscles never rested, a condition called "dynamic tension," always taught like coiled springs. I gritted my teeth because the sensation satisfied my need for action and defense. I became a city cop where a fellow officer once described me as formidable. Made me feel proud! I had the Wyatt Earp complex, wanting to handle everything by myself, alone. As a Field Training Officer, I found I could hardly be civil to trainees; I didn’t want anyone near me. Once I stepped into a doorway when a man in the living-room (William Philip Cooper, Feb 1978) turned and fired five shots toward me. Being drunk, he missed me from that 14ft distance, but I became an adrenalin junkie. I lived for action calls, "man with a gun," "armed robbery in progress," "bar fights," so I quit the police business. I didn’t want to be just an "asset." I was getting crazy! Too removed from civilization. I wasn’t free! I was paranoid, in a prison of my own fears, untrusting everyone, and missing out on whatever happiness normal people find in relaxation and easy laughter. I quit, and moved from Alaska to Florida where I bought a small seafood restaurant. I needed to learn for myself something of that freedom which I thought I was defending for others. My change had to be radical.

        Why am I telling you all this? Because I think that every one of us grows up learning that others have the power while we are just victims trying to survive. While I became offensive in order to survive, most people become defensive, learning the subtle mannerisms which signal submission. Are you free, free to walk fearlessly, boldly, and happily confident through the daily challenges of life? Rare few can answer Yes. Jesus says many times, "Fear Not." You might respond, "yeah, easy for Him to say." Fear, as you surely know, is debilitating; you have lost the battle before confronting it. Now that I know the difference, I tell you that I would rather not exist than live in that hell of fearfulness. I know also the truth of the saying, that fearful anticipation is always much worse than the reality. Our fears are a total waste of energy.

        So, how does one overcome his fear? I don’t have an answer, except to say that it is worth the time you spend confronting the truth for yourself, and then ask God for some directions for your path to freedom. Some of my practices (and I’m still practicing) are to sleep alone and naked on a bare sheet without covers, to remind myself frequently that there are no secrets worth hiding, that I don’t care what anyone knows about me, my past, my finances, my likes and dislikes, even my most personal thoughts. All those things are just world stuff, all of which I will leave behind me when I die. Knowing that I am an experience of God, whatever happens around the next corner is part of His plan, not something I need to fear. The insurance industry exploits our fears; I have NO insurance except the required auto coverage. I’d like to earn a tombstone epitaph of "A WISP OF WIND, GONE ON, LAUGHING." Oh, my, all those fears were so unnecessary! Just keep your eye on Him who beckons you to walk free and boldly toward Him, eventually leaving that old meat body behind you. Consider the irony that the death which you fear most is actually your Liberation to the ultimate Freedom which awaits you. You were designed to be free; it's your destiny.

June 23, 2011 (Sorcha Faal propaganda)

        The one-world cabal includes Illuminati, Bolsheviks, Rothschild's world banking monopoly, William Russell Trust, world-drug cartel, Black Pope, Israel, American politics, Soviet politics, plus other related principalities and powers. They are all united in a global agenda, working their program like a multi-level chess game, playing off each other and lying to the masses of people who flounder in confusion.

        Today, the Sorcha Faal news site presents a classic DISinformation article, designed, IMHO, to prepare the people for one of the nuclear events that will be part of the Apocalypse Equation discussed in Poisoned Planet. Let's take a look at the article which appeared today at  http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1495.htm .

        We all know about the massive military exercises underway (FRUKUS 2011 and Mailed Fist), naval and land forces, being held jointly with some other nations.  Now Sorcha Faal suggests that the Saudis are about to detonate a nuclear device at the same time all the military forces are alerted and active. Huunnh? Would an enemy strategy actually choose to attack while a huge military force is prepared to respond? Wouldn't an enemy prefer to do something as a surprise? Let's view the situation from a different angle. We know the Armageddon sequence will include all the M.E. Islam nations; of course the Saudis will be involved. But American and European people are reluctant to wage all-out war against nations which haven't harmed us, so a nuclear device would help to anger our people against the Saudis and the Paks who have always been our so-called "friends," if the event could be blamed on them. Russia, being a major part of the world ruling cabal, can suggest the Saudis as the aggressor while Sorcha Faal publishes the propaganda, and the Apocalypse Equation works its genocidal pogrom.

        Sorcha Faal reminds us that the War on Terror is really  "a global 'fight to the death' between the majority Arab Sunni Muslims and their Persian Shiite Muslim foes that has raged for centuries. . ."  Well, Americans are nothing but ignorance and confusion regarding the Islamic factions; we can't tell one from the other. So, if the Muslims nuke a few thousand Americans, our knee jerk reaction will be to respond with total destruction of 'em all. Such a nuke attack would be another 9/11 for Americans. We want war!

        Sorcha Faal then states as FACT  "the fact that lands holding the vast majority of our world’s last remaining oil and gas resources are controlled by these two rival Islamic factions" The truth is that the Saudi oil reserves are diminishing rapidly, and that vast oil deposits have been found in America that could supply us for centuries to come. Many people think our conflict with the M.E. nations is about oil. No, it is about global control, especially through banking, and those Islam nations have not permitted the Jewish banksters to set up central banks by which the M.E. could be utterly controlled and directed, like has been done in America and Europe for the past two centuries.

        Sorcha Fall then states explicitly that the Muslim nations of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan engineered the horrific 9/11 attacks upon the U.S. Well, anyone who has one eye partly open knows that the Muslims didn't plant all the explosives in those three towers which expertly dropped them into their own basements. The Sorcha Faal website has done some excellent articles exposing real facts about those towers in the past, but here has reverted to the spurious spin of the cabal, for the sake of propaganda IMO.

        Further DISinformation from this Russian Intelligence propaganda site has Osama bin Laden being killed recently, as our mainstream government-directed news reported. Those who are aware, know that Al Qaeda was formed by the CIA many years ago as a CIA operation. Of course it still is a CIA operation. Some pundits call it the Al-CIAda.  OBL probably did die of kidney failure years ago, as some authorities have admitted, but so what? It wouldn't matter one whit because his was just a name for a boogey man which Americans could hate, while the CIA (drug cartel) continued its global engineering project.

        Okay, today I just wanted to review this propaganda piece. Perhaps there will be a false-flag nuclear event in America to be blamed on Saudis, or perhaps the article is just to fuel the conspiracy theorists into full flame while they work some other deception behind the smokescreen.

June 22, 2011 (World View, Paradigm, Big Picture, Grand Plan, Divine Pageant)

        What are these things that one should even think about them or have concern? After all, the daily chores of dressing in the morning, meals during the day, a job, income, shelter, transportation; aren't these enough stress for a person?

    I want to address a concept here that is somewhat difficult to put into words. Yes, the daily tasks are more than enough to stress a person IF he (rhetoric "he" includes "she") believes that he alone is the accomplisher of all of them. If one's ever-present world view is that this world is what life is all about, then daily life will feel like one is barely hanging on by his fingertips and he dares not ever relax lest he will be run over by the massive crowds who are equally desperate.

    But, there is another way: that which Jesus called us to, a way quite different from the worldly way. Let me try to describe this in the first-person. If I envision God as my real Father (present and active in my life, loving me for real),, believing that my life is a part of His grand plan, then I am stepping back a little from the daily stress, to understand that I am but one part of a greater whole and that there is a planned order to all that is happening. Once I realize that, then I can take Jesus' more seriously and cease worrying about tomorrow, what I shall eat or drink or wear. Something phenomenal happens and I find myself content with the flow, content to yield my course to a greater plan, and content to live or die according to some design beyond my comprehension. I can turn my attention to the pondering of what that grand plan might be, where is this world headed, why am I here? I can suddenly watch world events as though watching a stage play, of which I already know the theme and the plot and how it ends. Once one knows how the thing ends, what's to worry about, eh?

    Truly, it is something magical (tho I don't like that word; it's not magic) that happens to one's life, the flow seems to get easier and more pleasant. Oh, difficulties don't end because God constantly challenges His own in order to strengthen us and teach us that His FLOW is better for us than to revert to the old stresses. We begin to view difficulties differently, knowing that yielding to His will is more successful than demanding the outcome to be of our own design.

    I will share with you the paradigm in which I live. I've outlined it on this website on a sine-wave diagram as a cyclic process of oscillating energies, positive to negative to positive, ad infinitum. Each 24,000 year precession of equinoxes (a cycle) makes one pulse of God's Word. Half the cycle is negative energy (World) and the other half positive (Heaven). Many cycles have been before this one and there will likely be many more to follow; we don't know how long God's Word is. Right now we are completing the lower half, negative energy, World period, and about to transition into the positive energy, Heaven half-cycle.  It's a simple plan, really, and it is wonderfully comforting to know that all is in order, that we aren't lost in a maelstrom of random confusions. It is truly Intelligent Design that we can yield to and even enjoy. Okay, that's the foundation of my paradigm.

    Since the World half-cycle is about to end, I want to know just how that will happen. Of course, we all want to know! So, we look to the prophecies of what we commonly call "end-times."  Jesus tells us that flesh and blood cannot transfer into the new kingdom, so we know these physical bodies must be left behind. Well, then, what goes on to the next? Answer: Spirit. We are spirit-beings, dwelling only briefly in some imperfect, deteriorating, and very limited flesh bodies.

    Once one knows that he is a spirit-being, a sort of extension of God, an expression of Him, a part of Him, then it doesn't matter anymore what His plan is; one can yield to it like one yields to an exciting ride at an amusement park. It doesn't matter if my body is killed when I turn the next corner today because I trust in His overall plan. Actually, when I think of that glorious land He has promised to those who trust Him, then I begin to hope for a Liberation from this sorry physical state so that I can enjoy my new life in spirit.

    World View, Paradigm, Big Picture, Grand Plan, Divine Pageant. What are those things that one should think of them or have concern? My answer to that question is that they are the key to Life itself; to know the plan is to know my future and to find contentment there. To be ignorant of the plan is to be left in a maelstrom of confusion of desperate stresses, a state of mind which Jesus called Death. Ignorance, fear and stress are the Default for one who doesn't choose to seek the Truth. Free will is the gift which permits us to make that choice..

June 21, 2011 (Poem: Men Who Don't Fit In, by Robert Service)

THE MEN WHO DON'T FIT IN

by Robert Service

There’s a race of men that don’t fit in,

A race that can’t stay still.

So they break the hearts of kith and kin,

And they roam the world at will.

They range the field and they rove the flood,

And they climb the mountain’s crest.

Theirs is the curse of the gypsy blood,

And they don’t know how to rest.

If they just went straight they might go far;

They are strong and brave and true.

But they’re always tired of the things that are,

And they want the strange and new.

They say: "Could I find my proper groove,

What a deep mark I would make!"

So they chop and change, and each fresh move

Is only a fresh mistake.

And each forgets, as he strips and runs

With a brilliant, fitful pace,

It’s the steady, quiet, plodding ones

Who win in the lifelong race.

And each forgets that his youth has fled,

Forgets that his prime is past.

Till he stands one day, with a hope that’s dead

In the glare of the truth at last.

He has failed; he has failed, he has missed his chance;

He has just done things by half.

Life’s been a jolly good joke on him,

And now is the time to laugh.

Ha, ha! He is one of the Legion Lost;

He was never meant to win;

He’s a rolling stone, and it’s bred in the bone;

He’s a man who won’t fit in.

June 18, 2011  (AMAZING STUFF Diatomaceous Earth 'D.E.')

        Kills lice, mites, ticks, fleas, cockroaches, earwigs, slugs, worms, internal parasites like intestinal worms, garden insects, and most any tiny insect. Sprinkle it wherever you want. As a fine white powder, you can use a small hand-crank duster (Lowes has it) to dust garden plants, berry bushes, fruit trees, most any plant which has bugs, like potato bugs for instance You can dust your carpet or upholstery or bed for those tiny critters, or dust your pet cats or dogs, or even children’s heads for critters they got at school. Dust for bedbugs between mattresses, on top of the mattress and cover, and the floor beneath the bed. Being under your bedsheet, you won’t feel it and it won’t hurt you. In my chicken house, for killing mites, I dust the floor, the bottoms of nest boxes, rub it on the roost poles, and even add some to their dry feed for internal parasites. I sprinkled it on the barn floor where my dairy cow bedded; I sprinkled it in her fur, and sometimes added it to her feed. Some people eat it to kill internal parasites. You can sprinkle it around the outside walls of your house, or inside walls. If it gets wet, no problem; it drys out again. It is partially effective against ants but doesn't kill the whole nest. Google it for lots of information. Try http://www.hydromall.com/happy_grower16.html for amounts to feed animals. You can sprinkle it around trees or bushes to keep crawling critters from them. It is formed into water-filter elements for units like the Big Berkey. Sprinkle it anywhere roaches or earwigs crawl; it is very effective.

June 17, 2011   (Nuclear meltdown in America?)

        Since I don’t have television, I don’t know if mainstream news is covering the nuclear plant problem near Omaha, Nebraska, but this might warrant our concern. The Fort Calhoun nuclear power plant is located along the Missouri River, just north of Omaha. The story is that an electrical fire shut down the cooling system for a pool of spent fuel rods, for about 90 minutes. The accident happened on June 7. The company says power was quickly restored. If so, then why has FAA ordered a NoFly Zone over it which amazingly is still in effect; no one knows why. And why has Kansas Health Dept issued a warning for people to avoid any contact with the Missouri River. http://www.hutchnews.com/latestregionalnews/Kansas-health-officials--don-t-use-Missouri-River  The reason given for the warning is because flooding carries contaminants into the river which might cause health problems. But, during recent months of extreme flooding of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, no such warning has been issued elsewhere. The Kansas warning is for that portion of the river just downstream from the nuclear plant accident. If you look at an aerial view of the nuclear plant, flooding is visible all around the power plant. That floodwater drains back into the Missouri River. http://ncrenegade.com/editorial/no-fly-zone-over-fort-calhoun-nuclear-plant-due-to-hazards/   The Missouri River flows southward from the nuclear plant, past Omaha and then along the northeast state line of Kansas from St. Joseph to Kansas City where the river turns east to cross the state of Missouri.

        We can only wonder if the problem was quickly solved as the company claims, or if the problem might get more serious. Or, in this age of DISinformation, are the people being panicked into conspiracy theories by FAA and Kansas Gov’t, only to appear foolish later? But, what gets my attention is the real threat that nuclear radiation could endanger the entire Mississippi River valley, along with the entire eastern U.S. if it is carried eastward by winds and rain. Everyone east of the Mississippi could be in danger. Fort Calhoun facility is the designated storage container for spent fuel rods for the state of Nebraska, and maybe more states, probably with far more fuel rods than Fukushima! The rods are stored in ground level pools, open at the top. Maybe there is nothing to worry about, as authorities imply, but trusting them isn’t proving prudent lately. It seems astounding that "they" would store huge quantities of fuel rods so close to this major River!!!  BTW, there are 104 nuclear power plants in the U.S., many getting quite aged.

        Newsflash! Just In... The Sorcha Faal news site just published an article: US ORDERS NEWS BLACKOUT OVER CRIPPLED NEBRASKA NUCLEAR PLANT. This news site is known as a Russian intelligence operation which gives both valid information and DISinformation. Much of their work is linked to sources. They are calling it a "near catastrophic meltdown." You can read it at http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1493.htm  . Might not be valid info, but I’ll be watching for confirmation.

        Newsflash 2!! Another scary report at http://www.rense.com/general94/ftcal.htm

        And finally, a nuclear engineer, Arnie Gunderson was interviewed (see it at:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBEipg81uLw) He tells of tests which indicate that Tokyo residents are inhaling about 10 hot particles of radiation daily, from Fukushima. Tests also show that Seattle residents are now inhaling about five radioactive hot particles daily, into their lungs, from the Fukushima release. Can you imagine the effect on the eastern U.S. if the Mississippi River was exposing hot particles into the winds? You might want to stay aware of this problem.

June 16, 2011  (What happens after Death?)

        Surely, every person has wondered exactly what happens when one dies. Religion offers the simplistic answer that one goes to heaven, but offers no details. Well, that’s the sorry state of modern religion! Yet, the holy writings which Jesus and His friends treasured did include a book which explains what happens after death. The angel of the Lord explained to the prophet Ezra exactly what happens, and Ezra wrote it down in a book now known as II Esdras, but that book was deleted from our Bible at the Council of Trent mid 16^th century AD. You might want to pause a moment to let that sink in; Ezra’s book was officially excluded from our Bible only that recently, about 360 years ago. Since the Protestant reformers did not later reclaim the writing as canonical, and since it is Old Testament anyway, the so-called New Testament religion of today doesn’t care. Sad but true.

        The text of II Esdras is not widely available, but I have put the complete text on my website at http://divinepageant.com/ii_esdras.htm    Ezra was God’s prophet during the mid 400's BC. Except for the first two chapters, which were added several centuries AD, I think you will be surprised and delighted with this fascinating account of Ezra’s visions granted to him by an angel from God.

        In chapter seven the angel describes what happens after one dies. Chapter 7:75 begins the explanation, First: every one of God’s Spirit children (family of Israel only) adores the glory of the Most High.  Second: the SCORNERS will be sent to that state which he calls "Torments," where they will experience torment in seven ways, as he then describes. Third: he explains that the RIGHTEOUS will enter the state of Rest, also called "Habitations," where they will experience seven orders of joy and Rest, which he then describes. In 7:105, the angel says: "so no one shall ever pray for another on that day (when one has died), neither shall anyone lay a burden on another; for then all shall bear their own righteousness and unrighteousness." Well, that statement pretty clearly explains why this writing got excised from the Holy Scriptures by the Roman Catholic church, doesn’t it? That religion sells a lot of candles and takes a lot of offerings as prayers for the dead.

        You can read for yourself the details which the angel describes to Ezra at http://divinepageant.com/ii_esdras.htm in chapter 7.

Oh, my! what Christian religionists have missed!!! And even more, what a glorious future we are promised if we stay focused on our Lord who points the Way!!!

        But, I tell you, and with passion I say it, unless you escape from the Christian church religion, the Holy Spirit will never be able to reach you through that fog, static, dissonance, and vanity. Face in the mud is where one should start, and then open a clear channel to the Spirit of God. See His servant, Ezra, and learn that kind of humility, and that kind of yielding to your Lord, who is the Truth the WAY, and the Life.

June 15, 2011  (Trillion Dollars)

How much does a trillion dollars weigh, in Hundred Dollar Bills?

        And finally, don't forget that one Trillion dollars worth of $100-dollar-bills would weigh eleven thousand tons! A railroad boxcar typically carries about 110 tons. So, it would take 100 boxcars to carry a Trillion dollars worth of $100-dollar bills. It would take 600 such railroad trains to carry the Derivatives debt (gambling losses of banksters). They need someone to cover their losses. The U.S. government is assuring them that Americans will do it. Do you remember voting to do that? 

June 14, 2011   (FUKUSHIMA not an earthquake???)

        That is the interesting conjecture by journalist, Jim Stone, as discussed in an article by Ethan A. Huff, that the Japan disaster was not an earthquake, but was a nuclear device designed to create a tsunami. He makes a reasonable argument that a 9.0 earthquake would have shaken the land terribly, which apparently did not happen. It seems that the people felt no shaking until the tsunami washed inland. Video cameras showed people going about their daily business without any shaking. You can read Huff's review at http://www.naturalnews.com/032692_Fukushima_earthquake.html   Estimates are now that the death toll might reach 50,000 people from this event.

        If this is true, that a nuclear device was used, then that would be consistent with the Apocalypse Equation, as discussed in the article at http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1477.htm . It is alleged that world governments are colluding to exterminate 5.5 billion people from the planet in order to leave about 1.5 billion which is the optimum level of population that can be sustained. Limited nuclear events are part of the Apocalypse Equation plan, along with chemical and biological agents, and probably starvation.

        We have been reading for nearly a year that Homeland Security has been planning for food shortages, civil unrest, and riots in cities. We know that extreme weather events have already delayed, perhaps cancelled, agricultural planting and/or harvesting throughout much of the world, to the extent that starvation might start this summer of 2011. Now, it appears that the U.S. is shutting down crop harvests if an illegal picker can be found in the field, so that the southern states are already suffering. My friend, Ken, who owns a produce market tells me that his suppliers are complaining about the government shutdowns of farms in Florida and other states where tomatoes, beans, etc. are left to rot in the fields. The same government which welcomed the flood of illegals is now using them to deliberately waste food crops at the same time our nation is expecting dire food shortages. Are we not to wonder whether our leaders are really that stupid or perhaps that they are doing exactly what they have long planned to do?

        So, here we might be looking at a limited nuclear event which caused a deadly tsunami, plus food shortages which will result in food riots, plus an E.coli event in Germany (and possibly SW Virginia and NE Tennessee) which was caused by a bacterial strain that has been bioengineered to be resistant to eight classes of antibiotics along with addition of DNA of bubonic plague. I recently discussed the problem of a planet so poisoned that all future life is at risk. You can read that article at http://divinepageant.com/Nontheological/poisoned_planet.htm

        Now that the Bilderberger meeting is over, I'm wondering how soon they might accelerate their killing pogrom; let's watch for prominent "persons of worth" to be quietly leaving their homes. I wonder how soon they might shut down internet so that real news won't be available to us. Things are getting exciting, eh?   IMHO.

June 13, 2011   (GROUNDING ONE'S SPIRIT)

        It is commendable that sincere Christians try hard to express high-culture behaviors, walking uprightly and blameless lest they offend. Most religions emphasize good manners, politeness, and gentility. Most Christians feel remorse when they default on those noble values, betraying their base human natures. Ironically, when one attains high spirituality and knows real oneness with his Father, then such religious constraints seem puzzlingly less important. Most of the mystics have explained this process, revealing that they rarely, if ever, pray in a traditional manner, nor do they read the scriptures because they are too sensitive to the powerful insights, feelings, and that touch of God which nearly takes one's life. Martin Luther said, "sin boldly," because he knew the ultimate Christian liberty which Jesus taught. The New Covenant which Jesus secured, but which languishes untaught by religion, assures us that sin is no longer a factor in our lives, that God remembers it NOT. One who spends much of his time in the rarified atmosphere of the ethers, communing with the Father, feels compelled to plant his feet occasionally in the dung-heap, or in some way to find a grounding which reconnects him to a world where he must function but which he despises. Some of these spiritually supercharged children of their Father use alcohol to numb minds which are on fire with Holy Spirit; some turn to promiscuity; some find relief in foul language of four letter words; some use rudeness and insults.  Some of the Father's favored sons feel ashamed, even crushed, because they cannot control their base compulsions. It is to such of you that I write, to tell you that you are not completely alone. No true son of the Father will ever flaunt his base nature as a badge of spirituality, but will struggle in silence with a feeling that he is failing his Father's trust. Yet, I assure you that your weakness serves as a grounding upon which God can continue to form you into His ideal. Mozart, the singular most inspired musical voice of God, lived in the ethers where he learned heaven's beautiful language, but he often went out carousing and drinking to ground himself in preparation for another day aloft. His wife didn't understand his spiritual need. Mozart partook enthusiastically of the cultural slang of his generation, namely scatalogical humor; in other words, the use of the word "shit" in friendly conversation or in letters to people of whom he was fond. You can google the words "mozart" and "scatological" to learn more about his very human nature. Today the offensive gutter word is "fu**".   I'm writing this to comfort you who know whereof I speak. Your base actions often estrange you from family, co-workers, friends, and leave you all alone in a bliss which you cannot possibly share with them. And that is exactly where your Father wants you, separated from others, to walk as a solitaire where He can share with you without the static noise of society. You already know that your slips and stumbles do not endanger your spiritual life, but it might comfort you to know that many others struggle the same course. So, let go your attachment to others because it is YOU whom He calls and claims as His own.

        Fear not how others might judge you; Jesus said that He had a reputation of being a glutton and a drunkard, perhaps something like Mozart. It is because He really did suffer the human experience that rough fishermen and you, too, can tip a glass with Him and call Him "friend." Perhaps this great blessing of alcohol is the reason that wine is exalted throughout the entire scriptures; it is the vineyard and the winepress which God uses to describe the reward which He has prepared for His own. Since I drink a lot of wine (I make my own) I can speak from experience that the first couple drinks enlighten the mind and the clarity of insight. Additional glasses of wine will dull the mind and provide relief from the rational process, exposing and expressing one's unique weaknesses in all three human natures, physical, emotional, and rational. While I recommend against such inebriation, I must admit that I wonder if it isn't by unveiling our weaknesses that one's Spirit nature gets some advantage over them. Just musing; you can ponder that notion for yourself..

        Cheers!
