Spirituality: “Think not that I am come to send peace on Earth.”

When Christ Jesus made the statement:

"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword," it caused consternation to many who followed him as the Prince of Peace and it has continued to do so to the present hour. Beloved ones, that declaration, together with that which follows—

"I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household" have in common the purpose of conveying a message of protection to each lifestream.

The Saviour proclaimed to all mankind the need to protect the very God-design which belongs to them. Therefore, if some should presume to tell others how to live, they would be setting at variance family and friends. And if a man choose consciously to seek, find, and follow his own God-design, although that very pattern may not please father, mother, friends, or society, that man should accept it albeit it set him at variance with those who yet hold the world's concepts of fulfillment…”

[from “St. Germain on Alchemy” 
(alchemy of spiritual transformation)]

Note: In other words, others ought not interfere with your divine life plan — even though they might be well meaning, it’s a fine line between being helpful and interfering. And the ones most likely to cross the line are family / which can include the ‘family of nations’.

"You must uphold the truth of your identity, so that as you move forward the opportunities of God continue to mount up for you."

AGW: What Do We Think Is Going To Happen?

 [In regards to global warming, it’s better to ask ourselves, “What is going to happen”, now — rather than, “What did we think was going to happen”, later.]

As long as ‘greenhouse gas levels’ in the biosphere continue to rise, all else is secondary. And since everything is connected, if we want to survive and thrive, we need to be aware of each and every issue’s connection and association with global warming. To the degree that we do not do so, then to that same ‘degree’ global temperatures will inevitably rise. 

Meanwhile, the worry and fear about ‘creeping climate change’ is justifiably spilling over into other worrisome areas and amplifying overall angst. Indeed, a general reluctance to converse on the subject or to factor it in as a variable regarding increasing depression in our populace is indicative of the seriousness of the underlying fear factor.


Note: One obvious direct connection between global climate change and geopolitics is the example of the ongoing Syrian war.

Let us keep in mind that the more pro•active we are at the international level now, the fewer draconian re•active measures we will be forced into later when the ‘shit really hits the fan’.

COVID: Source of the Wuhan Virus

Was the source of the Covid-19 virus a lab leak of an ‘amplified’ coronavirus originally taken from bats — or — was it resultant from the practice of eating ‘unclean’ animals? Either way, the Chinese have to deal with the world’s holding them responsible for the pandemic, especially in regard to the CCP’s irresponsible dealing with its onset.

January 6th: A Day of Infamy

     There are dates that hold notable meaning for me: 11-11-1918; 10-29-1929; 12-07-1941; 09-11-2001 — and now, 01-06-2021, the ‘Capitol Riot’.

Much has been said and written about this event. The best was written by Peter Zeihan in an eight part series called “Life After Trump”…


“…Trump knew exactly what he was doing. He was deliberately assembling a mob over the course of weeks. He deliberately encouraged them to march on the Capitol. He wasn’t shocked when they stormed the People’s House, but instead the opposite; leaks from the White House are rife with details about how he was overjoyed. Trump’s problem is he just couldn’t fathom that what he did was…wrong. Ethically, morally, institutionally, civilizationally, democratically, legally, criminally wrong…

AGW: Yes, At Our Current Rate, We’re Screwed, unless…

…we sufficiently undo what we’ve done in time to make enough of a difference so that, at the very least, the newer versions of Homo sapiens will thrive and bring forth a Golden Age to launch us into the stars with sufficient ‘life lessons learned’ so that they don’t simply repeat all of our mistakes over again.
