Well, good, that's the first objection to the direction I was taking with you ! Dismal and somber perhaps I am sometimes these days, but not immune to correction. If your ARMAGGEDON scenario is sweetness and light, then I stand corrected and relieved on that point. The rest of it is fine policy. It reminds me, tho' of when I was in a large auditorium listening to Baba Ram Dass, watching some of his coterie completely flipped out or "blissed out" as he says, losing all sense of reality... Then they woke up, or some did. As he or his sidekick once said, "being a self-employed philosopher is the hardest job there is". Perhaps you've solved that conundrum.>> There are always two completely different ways of receiving things: 1) conditionally and 2) unconditionally. We've been trained and taught to believe all "reality" is conditional - ie. bound by limits and boundaries attached to which are all these labels, definitions, rules, restrictions and regulations which can only create friction. And from these conditional lenses we actually believe "competition", "war" and all the resulting divisions, separations and perversions of energy and truth really "exist." But none of this is from God and since it's not from God it really doesn't "exist" from a true spiritual perspective which knows no boudaries, lables and limits or conditions. This is simply this ongoing "war against God and our Lord" which has been going on for centuries. But there's ONE fact that remains true: Our Lord overcame this world, defeated the Devil and Satan and as a result subjugated ALL the Hells. At the mention of the name of our Lord Jesus Christ the entire universe comes into order and attention for this truth is divine and the love which supports it is the cornerstone of the entire universe and all of his creation. We are all called to love one another the way we would want to be loved. We are all called to freely receive and share this love and these truths with NO conditions or claims assigned or attached. We are all called to be spiritual Lighthouses sending out his beacon of Hope and Faith for all of mankind to see and celebrate. I have been self-employed for 4 + years now. Just about the time that the Tribulation began in February of 1998. We are all called to be FREE!! But you have to believe this from the bottom of your soul and then you have to completely "let go and let God" carry you and plan each and every day right down to the second. It's a wonderful thing to experience and share. It's A Wonderful Life!! 119293!!
