The Divine Providence....

>>>>"in man's world of "EGO" everything IS and HAS to be "relative" - ie. conditional.">>>>

>>I explained earlier to our proprietor that all of us take some things on faith. Some take on faith Jesus is a prophet of God and others that science ultimately provides all the answers and both mentalities are identical. We are programmed to question. We are not programmed to have
a smirking sneering faith in either science or religion and both fall down because of it. There can be no consensus thinking in something as sacred and innocent as individual thought.>>

Let's remove the lables and definitions that we either use to 1) blame, shame ourselves and others for what's "evil, bad or wrong" or to 2) claim credit for getting/taking/controlling what's "good, right or true".

Remove my name. Remove your name. Remove Swedenborg's name from all this. Emanuel Swedenborg could care less about receiving credit for any of the ideas/truths which he documented in his 27 works on the spiritual domain. I could care less about receiving credit for what I share.

For it's this relative, conditional, quid pro quo credit for both the good and the bad that's all the root of this incredible masked illusion of truth, light and Love that's been perverted/inverted by the dark side of the spiritual realm for centuries.

It's like waving, pointing and flashing flashlight into the eyes, mind, heart and soul of an individual while in a dark, dark room. If you have gotten their attention to see your "light" from a "relative-conditional" perspective - ie. my flashlight which is in a different location, moving in a different direction and with a different intensity - then the die of darkness is already cast and that individual is an unwitting receiver of the smoke, fire, fear and conditional light from your "condititional master vs. slave castle."

The entire world we live in is nothing more no less than a Gigantic Wizard of Oz Show in this regard. And the individual is simply the unwitting dupe - the free, clear and open conduit - to "receive" either what is good in a way to claim credit or what is bad in a way to assign shame/blame.

The duping is done in the reality behind this hidden area that "receives." For that's all we do: RECEIVE.

How do we "receive"??

We simply make a simple CHOICE.

Period.

And that choice is the conjunction between that which we love with that which we understand.

If the truth is always presented as just more "relative/conditional" smoke and fire coming from this or that Wizard of Oz Castle - countries, governments, religions, corporations and institutions, etc. - then we will raise individuals who will worship such a construct.

To me the Wizard of Oz model is Man's Religion of EGO. This is the snakepit which we unwittingly enslave ourselves and others into accepting as being true. And if others don't "agree" with us then we divide, separate, divorce, blame and shame them.

>>>>"It's that simple. Why look for complicated answers when the simple ones are best?">>>>

>>It's a perverse part of human nature to over-complicate things.>>

The truth is NOT "complex."

However, evil IS and HAS to be "complex" for it can never and will never admit to "the truth" in the form of light, energy and Love. Unconditional truth, light and Love are totally antithetical to evil.

>>>>"Then the bully kicks butt or does whatever he loves to do - ie. making others miserable, etc.">>>>

>>All designed to create self-doubt in others. "I would have done this" "I would have done that" say it enough times and you turn someone into a victim that freezes up before they can make a choice or decision.>>

Evil is simply whatever it takes to get ONE individual to believe in ONE aspect of this simple sentence:

I AM NOT.

>>"Emanuel Swedenborg" Amazing guy and a great inventor as well.

Thanks for the link.

BTW, here's an interesting tidbit:

The prime number of numerical corespondence of CHICAGO (3893176) equals exactly the prime number the numerical designator of my date of birth - ie. the EXACT number of days since the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ on August 11 in 6 BC (717164 days).

When placed on my calender scale this ONE prime number goes to the EXACT day/date which is the I AM A MAN DAY on February 12, 1968 in Memphis TN when the black sanitation workers struck by holding up placards proclaiming they ALL were - ie. I AM A MAN.

The world is on the threshold of massive, radical, transcendent INDIVIDUATION. And the power of this trend will be from the transcendent light, energy and Love behind this ONE truth:

I AM - 9 + 14 = 23

Bring on Michael. Bring on the Freddy McGriff and the Cubbies - where we were last evening. Bring on the Northwestern Wildcats.

We are simply the "effect" of a spiritual cause - good or bad - that worlds from/by/for/through what Emanuel Swedenborg calls The Divine Providence. And what's so incredible is that we can prove this numerically without ANY subjectivity, blame, shame or credit.

It's time!!

Peace.

Light!

ONE!!

GO!!
