A person who believes in the strict, literal interpretation of religious scripture typically downplays the role of human free will in God’s Plan. This is understandable and, perhaps, sometimes even a necessary part of their spiritual evolution.

It is, however, Free Will and the Love of God that Will allow us to ultimately choose the Path of Wisdom and Illumination. The Forgiveness brought forth from God thru the Christ that allows for all to be at•one with God.

Australien Satire: TheJuiceMedia
“...an increasingly popular way of sharing the ‘honest truth' about political events is through satirical videos, something that The Juice Media does brilliantly. They bring attention to the ridiculousness of political and worldwide events, not only by making people laugh but by being blunt about what is going on and how people are being taken advantage of...”

El Morya: Power of Your Freedom; Armageddon Fallacy; Criteria for Ascension
" . . . Let Us clear the decks today concerning the Power of your own Freedom acting right here; and determine with all the Power and Activity of your Presence, to no longer accept discordant appearances in the outer world.
Beloved ones, why do you still find it difficult to release yourselves from certain things? With one it is the health, with another it is the financial supply. Just because you are unknowingly allowing your attention to fasten to the appearance of the condition. Because your pocket seems to be empty you declare you have no money. From the appearance standpoint, you do not have it in manifestation; but here (pointing above) you do have it. Your Presence has all the money in creation - all you could ever use in the world; but because you are accepting the fact that your pocket or pocket-book is empty, it keeps your attention fixed upon the appearance. The repellent force or fear, or whatever is acting is depriving you; because you give it more power in your sphere of activity, your physical focus here, than you do your Mighty I AM Presence. You have not given the Presence the full Power which belongs to It. You do not give It the opportunity to act....”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"...You can bring comfort to those who are tying into that mega-thoughtform (Armageddon). You can bring the understanding of the Law that ‘it’ is no more than a 'paper tiger'. It is not real. It exists only in the imagination of those who have conjured it. It is easy to transmute. It is easy to dissolve. And once there are sufficient numbers of the students of the Ascended Masters who are aware of this, there will no longer be the grave concern by many on the planet who are reveling in the day of the so-called 'Armageddon' - which does not exist, beloved ones. It is only in the imagination - the 'eye-magic' misqualified with the absence of the Love of God...”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" . . . For you to gain your Ascension there are certain requirements of the Law necessary for you to fulfill: balance more than half, fifty-one percent, of your own karma; grasp the understanding of each of the Seven Rays; put on the garment of the Christ; and, most assuredly, integrate into the fulfillment of your Divine Plan that Mission which your God Presence vowed you would accomplish. You together — you and your Presence as One Being — vowed before the Altar of the Almighty that you would perform the perfect work at the right time and in the place provided, for you too have within your consciousness the ability to attain to that which you are required by the Law to accomplish.....”

Krishnamurti: The Truth Is A Pathless Land
“I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. That is my point of view, and I adhere to that absolutely and unconditionally. Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized; nor should any organization be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path. If you first understand that, then you will see how impossible it is to organize a belief. A belief is purely an individual matter, and you cannot and must not organize it. If you do, it becomes dead, crystallized; it becomes a creed, a sect, a religion, to be imposed on others. This is what everyone throughout the world is attempting to do. Truth is narrowed down and made a plaything for those who are weak, for those who are only momentarily discontented. Truth cannot be brought down, rather the individual must make the effort to ascend to it. You cannot bring the mountain-top to the valley. If you would attain to the mountain-top you must pass through the valley, climb the steeps, unafraid of the dangerous precipices.”
Comment: The “Pursuit of Truth” is a wonderful and fulfilling endeavor that is limitless and ever expanding. Even the Masters and Archangels are forever more becoming brighter and greater.

Infrared Radiation Experiment: Press a Sheet of Paper Between the Palms of Your Hands
Understand that I have been deliberately refraining from posting about global warming climate change for a while now. I’ve basically already said most of what I can say — and besides, when you’re watching the beginning of a train derailment in very slow motion, you have to look away at some point when you too deeply sense the seriousness of the situation — or, in the case of global warming, at least long enough to break free from the negative vortex that’s pulling us all towards an “abyss of despair”.
Thus said, let me otherwise continue:
It’s not easy to comprehend the amount of energy that is emitted from the surface of the Earth — visible light that has been absorbed from the sun and is then re-radiated in the form of infrared radiation(IR). The dynamic of this became more clear to me one very frigid, calm and bright sunny midmorning this past winter as I went to sit outside with my back to a tall wooden privacy fence. I was seriously bundled up against the cold; but, I soon had to start peeling layers. I realized that the primary source of the heat (Infrared Radiation) was from the fence behind me and not the bright sun shining in my face. Suddenly, I remembered the overly strong warmth that you feel when you firmly press a thick sheet of paper between your hands with the palms touching. This is somewhat analogous to the interaction of the Law of Thermal Radiation and Insulation (as seen in the atmospheric interplay of infrared radiation and the ‘greenhouse gas blanketing effect’).
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_radiation#Overview
Why is this important? Because the laws of physics and of quantum mechanics explain how the Greenhouse Effect works. Greenhouse gases act as a thermal blanket to infrared radiation. Without it, the Earth would be a giant snowball; but then, too much will turn the Earth into a hothouse. We should note that the combined levels of the greenhouse gases being artificially released will be far in excess of what the planet has experienced naturally in the past. We are “artificially amplifying” and ramping up the degree of global warming for the
indeterminably far future.
https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/climatescience/climatesciencenarratives/a-greenhouse-effect-analogy.html
The biosphere is already at the point that the ice melt of Greenland and the Antarctica will continue indefinitely even if we were to completely and permanently stop emitting greenhouse gases today. The increasing release of methane caused by the melting of permafrost and methane hydrate will continue no matter what is done, but we could slow this down. Otherwise, we shall continue amplifying future levels of global warming even more.
Result: Global Warming is reaching a tipping point where it will eventually become self-sustaining cycle if we continue to procrastinate. Anyone procreating at this time in history is taking on a lot of responsibility by quite possibly subjecting their offspring to eventual surreal levels of life-threatening hardship. The seemingly slow motion apocalyptic reality of what all of mankind is facing is no joke. Yet, humanity’s pitiful response is truly laughable.

Note: When I watch a show or see a picture of a coastline or an island, I automatically estimate the probable length of time that rising sea levels make climate change emigrants out of the residents currently living there. But it’s not just rising sea levels creating such emigration. It’s, also, advancing desertification, droughts, disrupted water cycles, ocean acidification, etcetera contributing to “environmentally induced migration”. Even the Syrian crisis was precipitated by an unusual drought that is likely a part of climate change.
In short, by the time the world is deep enough in crisis that even the most conservative reactionary can no longer deny global warming, proactive actions will have been replaced by drastic reactive measures. And it’s today’s reactionary fundamentalists of all religions that will lead the charge, once it’s too late. Some will call it the fulfillment of the prophecy of the Apocylyose; but, in reality, it’ll have been a self-fulfilling one. You don’t need a crystal ball to see what’s unfolding in front of us right now.
