There is a situation that has affected a number of my old high school friends involving a church and its pastor. The pastor of this megachurch has effectively been fired because of problems with alcoholism. If this is his only problem, it makes me a little sad. What strikes me with even greater force, however, is the thought that this is just the beginning. We are entering a time in history when our problems are going to be unveiled at a much more rapid pace. I feel it important to ask you this question: are you ready for the changes?
Our world is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. We live in a very false world--one where great evil lurks behind a facade of sunshine and goodness. As a conspiracy theorist, I have been dealing with such revelations for several years and have had time to adjust to the process. The thing is, understanding the world is not what you thought it was has big consequences. For me personally, it began a process where my whole world crumbled before my eyes. Nothing was "real" anymore as I began to understand the depth of the deception. I have literally had to rebuild my world from the ground up, and that has not been an easy process. It has taken years for me to feel like I have a firm foundation to stand on once again.
I do believe there is a benefit to some of us taking this journey before the majority of people on the planet. Because we understand the process and know where we stand, we can act as anchors for the rest of humanity when the big chips begin to fall. Conspiracy theorists are here to help keep people calm and focused on the solutions.
There is no doubt in my mind that this is a huge calling. Even those of us who believe we know a lot more than the average person are going to be shocked at times. There are going to be moments when the raging storms will threaten to unmoor us. Still, if we are able to hang in there with a vision of what our world could become, we will be okay. We will make our world beautiful again!
Hold on tight, folks. It's about to get really stormy. Have you made the preparations necessary so that you will remain standing in the end?
Just a few short years ago, I lived in a make-believe world. I thought most people, including those who ran the planet, were just like me--trying to do good in the world while making a few mistakes here and there along the way.
I no longer believe that. Instead, I believe the people who currently run planet Earth are evil beyond belief. Murder, lies, theft, corruption. If it gives them advantage, they are willing to do anything to maintain their power and control.
I didn't want to leave my make-believe world. It was comfortable. It felt safe. It was what I had always known. One of the hardest things I've ever done in my life was to give up my false beliefs for the evidence I began seeing once I asked the right questions. I literally watched my world crumble down to its very foundation, and I have had to work hard to build it back into something I could once again depend on. It's difficult to believe I lived in denial for so long, it all seems obvious to me now.
As I look around, many of the people I love still live in that make-believe world. It's frustrating to me because they try to fix the world using the same old tired solutions--solutions that have been provided by the false gods of this pseudo-world to keep us occupied with meaningless gestures that maintain their status quo. The problems can only be fixed if we actually see them. Consequently, the powers that be have done everything they can to hide their actions.
In order to eradicate evil, we have to expose it to the light. We have to spotlight what they do so powerfully it is impossible for anyone to be in denial any longer. It is only when people fully understand the evil that they are willing to step up in their own power and change things. This is what transparency is all about.
This is also what connecting to your heart is all about. When you connect to your heart and access Oneness, you access the divine. You access all knowledge and wisdom available in the One. There can be no greater transparency than that.
Connecting to the divine through your heart also has another advantage: it allows you to clearly see the path your own life needs to take. Your heart is what connects you to the bigger picture and shows you how you can help improve life here on planet Earth.
Eradicating evil will not be an easy task. It is a process and will probably take years as there is a lot of light that needs to be uncovered on our planet. Understand the process begins with us taking the time to connect to the light within and using that guidance and wisdom to be the change we wish to see in the world.
As long as I live, I will never forget that day. The horror and shock of it all will be forever etched in my brain. I was a daycare teacher with a classroom of one-year-olds. I had already been working for an hour or two when news of the first plane hitting the World Trade Center was brought to my classroom by a float teacher. We were stunned that such an accident should happen, but work went on as usual. Shortly thereafter the same teacher came back in the room and told us a second plane had hit the other twin tower. As we stood contemplating the odds, the same teacher came in a third time and told us the Pentagon had also been hit. It was at that moment we had to admit to ourselves that someone had plotted this savage attack on American soil.
Feelings of panic and overwhelm set in as I contemplated the number of people that might have been in the building that day. News reports continued to show pictures of the second plane hitting, the burning buildings, and their ultimate collapse, which added to the heaviness of my heart. There was so much pain at the thought of the death and destruction. The whole world stood back in shock and grief over the events of that day.
It took well over a year for me to look at a plane overhead and not see a savage weapon. I accepted "the facts" as the government laid them out, never questioning the official story. I believed that the United States was being attacked by a foreign terrorist and that it was important for our safety to find that terrorist wherever he chose to hide and bring him to justice.
I didn't not want to believe that someone inside my own country might have had reason to commit such an atrocity. I wanted to believe that the people in charge were a lot like me--basically good but making mistakes along the way. The fact of the matter is, I was not at a point in my life where I was willing to look at truth.
Truth never changes. It never goes away even though we choose to ignore it. As time went on, I began to question other subjects where the facts did not add up--topics that were not quite as insidious as 9/11 that were easier for my mind to handle. After quite a few years, there came a day when I was ready to admit there might be more to the 9/11 story than I had been willing to see at the time it happened.
Some of the most compelling evidence came from a group called Architects and Engineers For 9/11 Truth. A video they put out entitled, "Solving The Mystery Of Building Seven" held some intriguing information that was largely left out of the whole 9/11 puzzle. It focused on World Trade Center 7, which also collapsed that day even though no planes hit it and falling debris from the twin towers did not overwhelm it (as they fell in their own footprints). The brief documentary makes a good case for WTC 7 coming down in a controlled demolition.
Part of the reason the group put this particular video out is to point out that building 7 collapsed within its own footprint at freefall speeds--just as the Twin Towers did. It uses experts witnesses to explain how the government's story has a good many holes in it. It uses sound logic--at least for those who have enough courage to finally confront truth.
It's been several years since I have had the fortitude to look at the truth of that day. While the facts were hard for me to accept, they have also brought me a curious new freedom. I broke out of my programmed little box and allowed myself to ask new questions and see new information.
Even though I understand there is great evil in the world, I also know there is great goodness. We all have the power to tap into this goodness and use it to improve the world around us. It is not an easy process, nor is it a quick one. However, little by little, we are beginning to change the outcomes. By tapping into our awareness and seeking out new information, we are starting to have the upper hand. We are exposing the evil to our light every day, forcing it out into the open. At some point, the evil will be overwhelmed by the transparency and will no longer be able to hide.
In many respects, 9/11 woke me up to my role in allowing evil to take hold of the world through my denial of its existence. It has forced me to stand up and take responsibility for what has happened and allowed me to shine my personal light on truth.
Life's greatest lessons often result from terrible tragedy. As we revisit and remember the tragedy of 9/11, may we appreciate the fact that it has become an amazing catalyst for change. May it continue to help us evolve into a people of light, peace and love.
I used to have a Pollyanna outlook on life. Everything was good, and you could find some good in everyone. While I still try to find the good in people, I am less likely to be fooled by the darkness. My adventure down the rabbit hole has changed me.
True evil tends to be insidious. It waits in the shadows and allows goodness to take overt control. Then, when your trust has been granted and your guard is down, evil takes over. Generally by the time most of us figure it out, we too are sucked in to the whirlpool and are drowned or almost drowned.
Years ago when I was still in my late teens and early 20's, I allowed myself to get sucked into a cult. I say allowed myself because it is true. From the first moment I met Jeffrey Lundgren, I did not like him. There was something cold and hard about him that gave me the willies, and there was a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that warned me to stay away. I managed to stay away for the first few weeks of my summer job as a tour guide at the Kirtland Temple. Then one day, Jeff found me alone in the visitor's center and used the opportunity to gain my trust. He came to me and said, "I know we don't see eye to eye on a lot of things, but I hope that doesn't stop us from having a good working relationship." It was at that moment my Pollyanna mind took over. I thought, "Maybe I have misjudged him. Maybe I should be a little more open to who Jeff is."
That was all it took for me to allow myself to open the door to evil. While my story ended much better than most in the group, the whole experience did teach me something. I understood how important it was to directly connect to God myself instead of looking to other people for answers. Others would potentially lie to me and abuse me. God never would, and he would give me the information I truly needed to know--even if I didn't understand it at the time.
So how do we recognize evil if it stays in the shadows? By being conscious and aware, and that means being connected to the Divine through the connection within your own heart. The heart connection has access to all information where the brain does not. It was my brain that reasoned, "How could anyone who professes to want to have a good working relationship not really be good at heart?" I allowed the bad vibes I got through my heart connection to be overshadowed by something my mind told me was a good thing!
In order to recognize evil when it comes your way, stay in your heart and listen to it when it gives you a feeling or other information that is out of the ordinary. Understand that the stronger the feeling you have about someone or something, the more likely it is that the danger is bigger. Most people you encounter through your heart space will not give you big, bad feelings. This is because most people are just like you--not perfect but at least trying to lead a good life.
One thing you can consciously do is ask questions about new people and new situations. When you encounter a new person you might ask the universe, "What do I need to know about this person? What do I need to pay attention to?" Asking questions when you are in your heart space will give you answers. If unexpected information comes, whether good or bad, do yourself a favor and listen to it!!! That is definitely the Divine speaking to you. Seemingly random information does not just come of its own accord. If you find yourself thinking, "Where did that thought come from?" That is exactly the sort of information you need to pay attention to!!!
Recognizing true evil is not an easy thing to do, but it gets easier the more you encounter it and listen to the information your heart gives you. It is your heart that will keep you safe and help you navigate the treacherous waters we all encounter from time to time in life.
Continue to be conscious, be aware and ask questions. It may just save you from a world of pain and misery.
