    It has been purposed that an evil has been unleashed upon the earth. If this is so, perhaps the next three and a half years will be directed toward the prophecy.

    Thoughts anyone!

    hello brother : ) how are you ?

    Even "evil" seeks to fix, stop or destroy what is 'Not-Good' 'out there' in its eyes.

    We might be wise to not-become what we dont want from the other side of the fence.

    all the best wishes to you

    fin,

    Hi! mostly as they should be... my thoughts are yours... thanks for the peep!

    Yet, one does realize that in the manifestation that is, with all that is being played out... between the perfection that is ever fleeting and what cannot be stayed... the trumpets are sounding... and such "accounts" will be brought before the All.

    Such things when given birth are both felt and seen...

    please continue... anyone!!

    nepsfather,

    Thanks for the look and reply! Yet, in all that we do we do... each act based on the best of what is... as it is revealed from within. Do you feel therefore that the action revealed and shared by mankind is corrupt or deceived? Hence the bogus results! Not in tune somehow!

    Thoughts!

    gates,

    to quote richard rose most of us exist for playing ego games and "to fertilise the female, work hard till we drop dead, drop dead then fertilise the earth...into a hole so we dont stink up the place"

    we can't save the world, the most we can do is not do with lies we tell ourselves

    fin,

    Once again you have found me out... only it is my insistence to stink up the place before i am finally placed on the shelf (into ashes). Only, when it is my "presence" to be transparent... it is those that can still see... that can reduce me to ashes with out stirring the water.

    .... i hate that!!!!! lol

    almost forgot how much fun this was....

    grace,

    I am not really clear what you want to take for the answer. Who has made the prophecy ? Who said that an "evil has been unleashed" etc. ? What is this "three & a half years" timeframe ?

    I have seen so many prophecies going wrong that it is hard for me to take any of them for being true ! But most important is to answer these questions :

    If I am really perturbed over this prophecy going true, I must be afraid of anything going wrong. But what can go wrong ? What do we understand by the term, "wrong" ?" Life is too short a phenomenon on the infinite sea of eternity. Therefore, worrying about losing life would be foolishness. We never created life & we don't sustain it. Then why should I be bothered ? What can go wrong ? Anyone who has made this prophecy knows our weakness of our desire to cling to life at any cost ... & we are giving him a chance to laugh at his design going as per his plan !

    ----------------

    [quote] Yet, in all that we do we do... each act based on the best of what is... as it is revealed from within. Do you feel therefore that the action revealed and shared by mankind is corrupt or deceived? [/quote]

    Whether anything is right or wrong is difficult to judge. However, I have a simple scale to decide, " Does my action lead to overall reduction of pain ? If yes, then it must be good otherwise not." If inspite of using this filter something goes aginst what I think, then I take it to be destined that way.

    Am I on the same wavelength ? I don't really know ...

    selfseeker,

    All,

    As the manifestation has unfolded over the eon's, the outreach and expressed will of the creator has been markedly imitated and/or impersonated. In the hands of a saint this would carry the earmarks and insights that would include the "All" of creation and hold to sound footings. All prophecy from this "source" in full recognition of such things.

    This is very much in opposition to lesser directives from powers that do not hold to such insights, lacking wisdom that fall short. Without sound footings these directives slip around this way and that, and make quite a mess of things. In this way prophecy that is God's alone... is often imitated and purposed to intervene to try to upstage what has been decreed.

    It has been seen, when good has been planted and nurtured evil is not far behind. In prophecy, evil will no doubt try to intercept in times before, during and after. If one is watching, with eyes that can see and ears that can hear... such things can be noticed.

    Consider:

    The Beast out of the Sea

    1 The dragon [a] stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. 2 The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. 3 One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast. 4 People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, "Who is like the beast? Who can make war against it?"

    5 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months. 6 It opened its mouth to blaspheme God, and to slander his name and his dwelling place and those who live in heaven. 7 It was given power to make war against God's people and to conquer them. And it was given authority over every tribe, people, language and nation. 8 All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb's book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world. [b]

    9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.

    10 "If anyone is to go into captivity,
    into captivity they will go.
    If anyone is to be killed [c] with the sword,
    with the sword they will be killed." [d]
    This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God's people.

    Rev.13 NIV

    Even as the prophecy might stand for many things, one could with the eyes and ears realize when something is a foot.

    ...your thoughts all!

    The significance of the brief prophetic oracle in verse 10 can scarcely be overestimated. Time and again, from the ill-fated Muenster kingdom of the sixteenth-century Anabaptists to David Koresh at Waco in the 1990s, the book of Revelation has been linked in the public mind to violence, war and armed rebellion. The book has been blamed for everything from social revolutions in Latin America to the nuclear arms race during the Cold War. John's oracle here gives the lie to all such interpretations, whether offered by those who would justify violence or those who would consign Revelation to the scrap heap because of the violent world it evokes. The book is most emphatically not a call to arms, but a call for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints (v. 10).

    The burning question in the minds of John's readers must have been, If all these terrible things are going to happen in the world, what should be our response? The answer of this text--and of the whole book of Revelation--is that the response of Christians must be one of nonresistance and nonretaliation: first, because armed resistance will be futile in any case and second (and more importantly), because God and the Lamb have already guaranteed them victory. Those who "overcome" do so not with the sword, but with "the blood of the Lamb" and "the word of their testimony" (see 12:11). For the present, John is saying, until the beast's forty-two montes are up (v. 5), those destined for imprisonment will go to prison and those destined for death will be killed. The sole responsibility of Christians is to be faithful and to wait out the storm. God and the Lamb will intervene in due time. John's point is not unlike that of Paul in Romans 12:19-21:

    Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written, "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. On the contrary:

    "If your enemy is hungry, feed him;

    if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.

    In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head."

    selfseeker,

    It is agreed that as good and evil as it is played out on the stage of life and death, they are empowered by the hold they have on those who "experience" them. For those who have overcome the duality, where good and evil have collapsed in on themselves, such things are not weighed as before. Yet, as the conclusion of all things born to the manifestation is realized what becomes of those who are still caught up?

    much like basket weaving prophecy is a point within conciousness.

    sure you could easily argue that a basket has more practicle use than a prophecy. yet tell that to some one who had a dream of disaster the night before 9/11 and hence did not attend work at the wtc that day.

    Good morning Abs....everyone...
    This planet presents a multiplicatude of possibilities...on a thousand levels of
    awareness depending upon the observer. When, each of us, in our singularities, are doing
    the most good we know how to do, either physical, mental or emotional,or all three, we are focused on promoting the good, and the difficult seems to lose importance because of our individual focus.
    To focus on the terrible, the lousy, the inept and the foolish does not improve
    the good, but does promote the bad. It is true that we bring toward us, those things
    which we focus upon. Let us have more beautiful sunsets, see more beautiful sights, promote more beauty, truth, joy, and happiness and watch it unfold within and without. us.
    Tea Abs? I miss our teatime, peppermint with honey...and watching cedars waving
    in the cool breezes.

    hi starion. :o)

    you know how much i love tea on your verandah. and with the cedars blowing. aaahhh.

    sometimes when i go for a walk in the forest i can sense the sadness of the red cedars for brothers and sisters fallen at the hand of man. of course this is only a projection of mind into story. don't you love it. lol

    you are what you see.

    hi gates

    watching the dance at the moment it is easy to see where you are coming from. so much sadness and dissilusionment in the world at this point in time. no doubt many cry for a way out pleading for an esacpe hatch. all the time knowing that there is something pure and clean to awaken. if only those who plead could bring that knowing back to this very moment and realise there is no thing to awaken.

    of course to one living amongst adverse poverty and war this distress and sadness is totally feasable.

    bless....

    This morning rain is falling on cedars, dogs are shaking raindrops from their fur, and
    the world is moist and deep with the smell of wet earth making more trees to call more
    raindrops. Ever heard trees call for rain....they actually moan and rattle... it's a
    sound only Mother Nature can answer...
    I know that out there in the world babies are dying, mothers are crying, soldiers are
    giving their lives, and trees are falling...I know all that...I know there is hurt, pain, misery, and a thousand other ills that mankind falls heir to, but....but....Gates
    my fine friend, if you focus on them, you can not see the sea and the waves crashing against the shore, the wind blowing new breezes around you, nor the the boats bobbing up and down in the harbor, nor the gulls flying overhead in their raucous screams of "mine, mine, mine", all you see is that one battered boat, that dead gull, the deep ocean that kills and the breezes that bring you hurricanes.
    Seeing the ugly, you will find more dead gulls, more gusts of nasty breezes, more
    abandoned boats, and feel the swells of ocean tides that push you around. Today if you
    walk about, find one blooming flower and focus on it. Just one flower, one bloom and
    tell me about the power that brought forth that singular bloom. That, my friend is more
    powerful than all the tides, all the wind, all the ugly and all the miserable that this
    earth can offer. It's your focus and yes you have free will.

    ...all,

    Your voice has been heard! Again what is seen is the voice of the inner being that has been raised from death... in each of you. The same voice that resonates when the sounds of death are echoed... when good restores a necessary balance.

    Answer: What becomes of those caught up? ... good will be right there with them... for them.... when they call for it.

    The plea that remains... in a resolve by all the saints... is that if "they" do not knock... the door cannot be answered.

    Thanks for the "saint" in all of you...

    bowing at the gates... in grace!!

    Thanks for your love... once again!!
