Heaven.

It has
always been the “Other People” put into concentration camps or killed and put
into mass graves, until it’s not. The most revealing act against another group
was during WWII when Hitler defiled and spread hate for the Jews. We should all
know how bad it can get because we watched The
Sound of Music and Schindler's List,
We all learned about the showers in the “Final Solution” and about the severe
suffering the Jews went through beneath Hitler’s hand. It started small but
grew as the Jews were made scapegoats.
We have
new scapegoats now, new Other People being put in detention, not exactly
concentration camps, yet. We can sort of tolerate the others being put away
with Trump’s orders because it isn’t us. They asked for it, didn’t they? They
came to us? They are at fault? And we can find many other reasons to sit back
and not see events too clearly.
If we
don’t stop this at our next election, we will go down in history like Germany
did after Hitler. Many have often asked, “What was wrong with the German people
that they allowed this to happen to the Jewish people? Were their hands tied?
Did most of them care, or were they swept away by Hitler’s forceful energy?
Some, perhaps many, tried to fight back, to no avail. Will this same thing
happen to us here in the United States?
We dare
not let this continue. We could easily make a place for a large number of
immigrants in this huge nation of ours. True, as some say, we don’t even treat
our own downtrodden people well and perhaps must see to raising our own
standards first, but… Would total happiness ever happen, no matter what? Isn’t
it better to begin to lift the well-being of everyone at once, including a
large number of people begging to enter at our border.
We would
still have the right to decide and set limits. What we need most of all are a
large number of judges to hear the people’s cases. Why hasn’t this been
done? Because we have a congress that is
politically split and stimmed with inaction while the humane thing to do is
help those people. The whole world is watching. Pope Francis donated a half a
million dollars to the aid agencies who are giving food and clothing to these
helpless people who needed to run from away from war and strife.
We could
easily contribute more if we elect the right person for the job of president in
2020. It is possible to care for other people just as Jesus instructed us to
do. We just need to choose leaders who will truly lead us into this new century
of cooperation and pursuit of happiness for all. It can be done and, at the
same time, put a halt to climate change. It is up to us.
If anyone
is reading what I write here, I know your views already coincide with my own. I
don’t mean to preach, but I do need to put my ideas out for my own well-being.
It feels good to clear my mind of horrible thoughts and believe that my words
may teach someone, now or in the future, about the danger our nation is facing.
The
umbrella of love that thousands of people who meditate have set up around the
parameters of every nation is slowly and softly filling our space with the
breath of love. When you pray or meditate, you can join by pressing into the
bubble of love and adding your own feelings of hope and concern. I pressed into
the bubble this morning and felt it give way as I entered. I asked God to
brighten the light we all carry until such brightness covered the whole of the
United States I could see the evil spirits within begin to shrivel and shrink
until they melted and sank back into the ground where they came from. Such
spirits can’t stand God’s light. We will continue to call down God’s light
energy until the earth fills with perfumed blooms of love.

As I
stepped into the bubble of love, the ball of light from God grew so huge I felt
weighed down by its splendor. Then as I walked, people started to join me and
with each loving mind, the huge ball of light grew larger and brighter. So many
people joined that the light encompassed half the United States. I had been
standing down in Texas at first but as more minds gathered we began to walk
towards the East coast, then up slightly because the light had grown so huge it
covered the whole of the eastern half of the nation. Then we walked westward
through the states to California where blue whales had beached up and we
entered the Pacific Ocean. It was there that whale minds joined the light
before we stepped onto dry ground again in Japan.
Loving and
caring minds continued to join from every state and nation which increased the
ball of light that now filled the whole Northern Hemisphere as we walked
forward towards the Atlantic Ocean. America is one of the hot spots that needs
greater light/energy from God, but we also paused for a bit longer at the other
hot spots in the Middle East and Israel then other places around the globe.
Then we carried the huge light down to the Southern Hemisphere to Australia,
Africa and around the South Pole then finally to South and Central America. We
paused the huge glow of light longer in Central America.
I watched
people join the light and noticed that many were of a type to already help
people in need, priests and monks, women outside serving and cooking for people
near our Southern border. I speculate that loving minds everywhere detect the
light and join it consciously or sometimes not. It is the love that pulls us
into the glow of sharing, a sincere empathy that we choose to spread around the
earth.
The
ability of far seeing or mental travel is not unique to us in the modern world.
I just read in Scientific American, (May edition) that a shaman, Alfonso Matapi, in the Amazon will send his thoughts to the natural
and free people hidden deep in the jungle and far from our modern world to
assure them we modern’s will leave them alone and in peace. We all pray that those people can stay free
from our influence.
Everywhere
on our globe, deep love is needed now more than ever before. I asked Jesus the
other day, “Is our world like the Matrix” He said, “It is worse than you know.”
He didn’t
elaborate so my imagination ran full steam from there. Is our reality folding
in on itself, are minds being invaded, are we blind to earth as wasteland
beneath our sleeping heads? Surly not. I squashed down the images but who knows
what the real truth is. Many reputable scientists are now asking if we live in
the Matrix.
Back to
reality, or what we imagine is reality, here is a quote by Thomas L Friedman in
Wednesday’s NYT, “In so
many cases, Donald Trump has been able to take people who came into his orbit
and just bend them to his lying ways the way Uri Geller bent spoons.” When I
read this, my mind harked back to the Matrix movie and Mr. Smith taking over
bodies and minds. Horror of horrors. We dare not allow this situation to
continue.
On a much happier note, I also learned that
meditation can clear up the water that runs through our bodies. It takes out
the impurities from pipes and makes the water in our bodies like spring water.
This is a wonderful side effect of meditation because our bodies are composed
of water. So along with God light filling us, our cells are fed with clean
water that has memory and healing powers. What a wonderful world God has given
us. Now all we need to do is keep it wonderful, loving and vital for all of us
humans.

I am
really proud of Sacred Heart Church. It always does the unexpected and unusual.
One example is the water fountain in front of the altar, which I love because
during quiet moments I can hear the trickle of water. Water is a symbol of life
and now we’ve learned it has memory as well. Wonderful.
Another example of doing the unusual
is the New Green Infrastructure that will be installed with a grant from The
Nature Conservancy in the parking lot. The idea is to use green plantings to
absorb the storm water runoff on the 1.3 acres of hard service. This makes it
one of the largest retrofit projects in Detroit. I suspect it will look
beautiful enough when completed for church members to not just park their cars
but sit beneath shade trees and enjoy beautiful flowers on the landscaped
grounds. We will lose a few parking spaces but the joy of nature will more than
make up for the loss. I considered joining the garden club but doubt if I would
have any energy left after taking care of my own large yard.

I went to
Sacred Heart Seminary this morning for mass because there was an award luncheon
later for St. Vincent de Paul. The priest celebrating mass was Father Steve
Hurd, who also gave the sermon. He spoke about the apostle’s long walks around
the country and the different people they met in Asia, Syria, and Greece and
how they needed to learn different languages.
As he spoke, my mind expanded with the sudden realization of how the
apostles were so effective in their efforts to convert so many people to the
new church.
The apostles spoke in tongues, of course. What
this means is that they could speak mind-to-mind with many of people they met
in Corinth, Philippi, Damascus, Antioch, Tarsus and other lands, an ability
which must have astounded the people, as well as the many miracles the apostles
performed. We are often astounded too when we first hear someone speak into our
mind, yet large numbers of us are currently learning how to do just that. Many
thousands and more not meet together to use and spread love through mental
speech. Not everyone can pick up mind talk, but I am sure, they have or will
develop other abilities just as important. Jesus hinted long ago that our
children’s children will prophesy. This is what he meant.
This brings up something I have written about
before. I suspect that many members of the priesthood, monks from various
religions, and other groups of select people during the last two thousand years
believed they had the exclusive ability to speak to each other mentally. This
promise of exclusivity might be how certain sects called and held onto their
members. I am not sure, of course, because it was kept secret. But as a current
example: I have had a few priests look
at me and ask, “Who are you?” because, often without knowing it, I spoke to
them mentally and they were shocked by my ability. From this I could assume
they thought it was an exclusive ability that only they possessed.
No more. It is my pleasure and hope to spread
this ability of mental speech to good people far and wide, to increase and open
up mind speech as real and actual, so that more and more people will become
familiar with this talent that should no longer be kept secret.
A side issue, that has bothered me for many
years, is that the bible speaks about Jesus’ love for one of the apostles, and
hints that it was John. It was not John, it was a woman and her name was likely
Mary Magdalene. This is who Jesus loved. The monks who transcribed the first
bibles couldn’t accept the idea of a women as such a close and important
apostle of Jesus. But Mary, being such a close apostle of Jesus also hints at
the fact that Mary could also speak in Tongues. This is only one of the problems
brought to us by the hierarchy of men in the priesthood.
The article in The Atlantic this month, To Save
the Catholic Church, Dismantle the Priesthood, brings up many valid problems
that need to be addressed one day. Still, it seems much too soon to take his
idea of dismantling the priesthood seriously.
Many millions of us continue to go to
church every week, in spite of its problems, and are happy to do so. We also
appreciate our many pastors who usually encourages us church members in
endeavors that give aid to other people beyond the church walls. This is the
most important message in Father Hurd’s sermon this morning from John’s gospel
and Jesus most fervent request to us. That we abide (relate) in love for each
other. This we try to do and our continued belief in the validity of the
Catholic Church helps us live up to Jesus request.
Another reason for not abandoning the church is
that almost every time I saw Jesus in spirit, it was inside the church during
the celebration of the mass. “Where two or three are gathered in my name, there
I am in the midst of them.” This Sunday was no exception. Jesus stood in the isle of the church this morning, his
spirit much larger than life, as he smiled down on all of us gathered. He
especially smiled at me as he noticed my mind expand with this new realization
and knowledge. He knows how much I love new ideas. This morning was a gift from
Jesus, given to me through Father Hurd, a gift for which I am very
thankful.

I have been thinking about why I put
these writings on the web and what I believe my goal is for doing so. Mostly, I
consider myself as teaching and demonstrating new avenues of thought and
actions, but I began to wonder if it looks like I am bragging about certain
abilities. I don’t mean to do so. My goal is to enfold more and more people
into what I am learning or to show some that their abilities are not unique
because many of us share them. Perhaps I am wrong and perhaps I am opening
myself to unwelcomed scrutiny when I should be more silent about certain
things. I don’t know.
I do know that there are angels,
some of whom are people from the future who chose to interact with us, but
there are also normal people of today learning new abilities such as speaking
mind-to-mind. I suppose we need to be careful not to confuse talented people
with angels. Actually, there is a group of angels in the universe who are not
human at all, but we tend to label all beings we don’t understand as angels if
they are good and demons if they are not. This is not vary insightful,
especially on my part because I know there are many beings from other planets and
have met a few. Common sense would tell us there must be millions, if not
billions, of strange beings out in the vast universe that we know nothing
about.
Back to the subject of some people becoming enlightened
with new abilities. I assume that all these are good people and have the
well-being of others as their goal. In this I may have been naive. I assumed
that because my abilities have been encouraged by Jesus and his angels that
this is true of everyone. It may not be. People with bad intent may be learning
to speak mentally too. So, what does all this thinking and new understanding
mean?
I wonder if I need to stop writing
on the web because I give too much away. It would bother me to stop writing. I
like to put my inner thoughts and new adventures out there in case anyone wants
to read about them. I doubt that many people do, especially because individual
home pages are out of date and there are so many other choices in which to
place your own views. I am backward when it comes to all these new web places.
I still don’t know how to ‘Tweet.”
So, the crux of the matter is that I
don’t know what I am doing or if there is any value in it except to myself.
Writing helps clarify the jumble of problems in my mind, and maybe that is
enough reason to continue. Regardless, for today, I add these thoughts in case
some angel in the future wants to know more about me. Ha. Here I am, open and
honest and silly enough to continue. Oh, well.
On another subject, with all the
tornadoes and floods and other storm disasters happening across the United
States that seem to prove that our climate is changing dramatically, has anyone
asked what the long term or underlying purpose might be for those hidden movers
and shakers who push against the facts of climate change? Certainly,
there is the short term goal of keeping the huge oil and gas funds flowing into
certain pockets.
But I wonder if there is a deeper hidden desire for the
destruction or enslavement of humans beneath the surface? If things get a lot
worse for people because of the weather, wouldn’t they become needier and
dependent, less able to defend themselves against a dictator or fascist leader?
These types of leaders seem to be popping up all over the world today. To put
it another way, isn’t taking away people’s self-determination through war and
climate destruction a move against heaven? Of course it is.
God gave us the freedom of choice at birth. If climate
change gets much worse, as it is predicted to get, people will eventually be
forced into a corner of “Do as I say or else? Thankfully, many good people are
worried about the consequences if we don’t change our habits and fix the
climate. They agree that our future as a democratic nation and freedom of
choice depends on not only on stopping the clock regarding climate change but
also unseating any leader who continues to push against correcting the problem.
I don’t care which democrat candidate makes it to the election, only that they
get elected as our next president. It may be our only hope for a good
future.
