MIRACLES

There are no orders of difficulty in miracles. They are beyond measurement, quantification, valuation, all spacetime constraints.

Note: WordPress constantly updates this website every couple of weeks and not at all for the better. They’ve become like like Microsoft’s constant updates – usually for the worse. The latest update has corrupted my artwork, compressing thus distorting the images therefore not making the artworks available for realistic viewing and utterly useless to view on cellphones. Anyone can see how important the details, the realism of my oil paintings are and this gross distorting of the images is quite frustrating. F… O.. WordPress.

This website contains well researched literature concerning and citing, mostly renowned, spontaneous, miraculous and placebo healings. It is unbiased, inclusive of many types of persons with their differing worldviews (the computer systems analyst, the scientist, the psychologist, the artist, the religious, the physician, etc.). As well, included are accounts of mystical experiences for the miraculous and the mystical experience are evidences of the primacy of the mind’s and the spiritual non physical state of our being. Our mental and spiritual state of development are materialized in our bodies, as well as expressed in our behavior, psychology and physical surroundings. All illnesses, all adverse physical states in fact, are a neglect of this fact with miseries, in any and all forms, capturing the majority of our thoughts and attention this obscures the realization of what we truly are and capable of.

By repeatedly reviewing either mentally or in written works or other forms of testimonies of the many valid studies and anecdotal accounts of miraculous and mystical events ever increases our belief in our own and other’s abilities to produce miracles and experience the limitless transcendent state of the mystical experience. It is particularly effective to, in addition, ruminate over these evidences of our very real and wonderous attributes prior to sleeping.

There are no doubt many, and some with considerable power and economic resources, who believe that while mass murders, genocides, warfare, pandemics and plagues are and were indeed tragic (and some don’t even think that empathetically) they have kept the human population in check. Never is the murder of another or others justified. No human made life possible. They may have given birth to an infant but the life in that body, before that body came into being and after that body no longer exists, it is therefore not the right of any human to judge another worthy or not of that life, let alone attempt to destroy it (life is eternal regardless). Though it’s perhaps understandable that a violent response in difficult circumstances is justified where innocents must be protected from an attacker that otherwise cannot be stopped. Yet in any difficulty, including when one’s own or another’s life is in jeopardy due to physical assault or a disease, rather than giving into fear or counter attack, pray for a miracle instead.

Along those lines of thought, this concern that I read recently must be addressed: “It is not difficult to imagine how a hundred percent success rate for prayer would create unimaginable global havoc. If all prayers for recovery during sickness were uniformly answered – almost no one would die before well into old age in which case our planet’s population would have skyrocketed millennia ago and rendered our Earth unfit for human habitation.” Is this not based on a mathematical, temporal, materialist, for lack of a better word, perception of what the world and its inhabitants are? Material and limited to 3D spacetime constraints (and not predominantly spiritual as is all of life) thus limited in extent of consciousness, destined to decay and obliteration, and hopelessly subjected to pool ball physics causality over space and time. You could not possibly miraculously heal yourself or others while perceiving that these laws indelibly prevail – that they wholly and accurately describe reality and are a necessity contributing to, insanely enough, the survival of the species. We must now think outside and beyond the proverbial rigid, three dimensional spacetime box. 

“Only a constant purpose can endow events with a stable meaning. That being its single purpose is to end all ideas of sacrifice; meaning that in order to make gains there must be losses.”  

What is real and true is always so. Meaning, for example, that which is not true today but was yesterday is a contradiction and therefore meaningless. “Reality is changeless and miracles but show that what you have interposed between yourself and reality does not interfere with the truth of who you and all others are. The cost of the belief that there must be some appearances, some illusions, beyond the hope of change is that the miracle cannot come forth from you consistently, for you have asked that miracles be limited, thus withheld from the power to heal all illusions.” Religiously speaking, “By judging what you would heal, He Who gives all miracles has not been given freedom to bestow His gifts on His Son.” Or, if you prefer, the transcendent, the infinite and eternal (thus everywhere always) is unimpeded by three dimensional spacetime constraints and therefore miracles are quite possible in the world of seemingly concrete, immutable material things which, in fact, constantly change.

A Foolish Daydream

Here’s an example of a foolish daydream I repeatedly mentally reviewed over a couple of days while sitting on the couch in the morning drinking coffee. I imagined that I was riding on my bike and was hit by a car. When the impact occurred I would feel myself thrown up into the air, as if in slow motion and without pain. Right after maybe four of these daydreams, twice on my bike I literally missed being hit by a car by inches. The first time was my mistake for not having been more cautious. Understandably though because the oncoming traffic was completely blocked from my view and I was nearly hit by a speeding motorist. A woman standing on the other side of the street who witnessed this said, “Wow, I’m glad you’re alright.” The second time, it was not my fault (other than as a result of my daydreams perhaps). I was riding through the local college stadium parking lot. It was a summer day when there were no college events and very few cars parked in the vast lot. A car suddenly came racing directly toward me from seemingly out of nowhere and the tires screeched before it came to a stop. I could see a young woman in the driver’s seat. She managed to stop the car but a couple of inches before broadsiding me. No similar incidents had happened to me before. What if my daydreams had included my experiencing a violent injury or death?

What are we foolishly choosing to watch on TV and on the internet (to say nothing of all the emotions and thought manipulations due to hypnotic suggestions from social media platforms, TV news other programs? What first person, violent, video games are we and our children playing? What kind of music are we and our kids listening to. Worst of all, the messaging in rhythmic pounding, electronic and hostile rap so called music? What are we daydreaming about? Are we not in a trance, hypnotized during these activities and are they not played out in our daily lives?

The Remarkable Healer Norbu Chen

Astronaut Edgar Mitchell left NASA and in late 1972 he had a series of events described by him as, “… governed by the mysterious cadence of synchronicity.” He attended a conference in Little Rock and his mother met him there. She was in her early 60’s and had severe glaucoma. At the conference he met a man by the name of Norbu Chen, an American who studied the earliest form of Tibetan Buddhism. He was purported to be a healer. Mitchell’s mother was a Christian fundamentalist all her life and had definite ideas about how the mind was capable of influencing matter through healing – either by the hand of God or by that of Satan. The next day Mitchell and his mother met with Norbu. She settled into a relaxed state in a chair following which Norbu placed himself in a meditative trance. His hands floated over his mother’s head pausing over the eyes and there seemed to be an unspoken acceptance on her part. Norbu then prescribed that she rest and take nourishment from grape juice and broth (as if following a surgery).

At 6:00 a.m. the following morning she came rushing into Mitchell’s room exclaiming “Son, I can see, I can see!” She could read from her worn bible and drive the several hundred miles home without her glasses. He states that he knew his mother’s reaction was authentic. A few days later, after going about her business with nearly perfect vision, she called wanting to know if Norbu was a Christian. He knew what this meant and did not want to say that he was not. However, she did not drop it and when he told her that Norbu was not a Christian she claimed that her new sight was not the work of the Lord but by that of darker forces and that Norbu was an instrument of the devil. Her gift had soon gone away and new thick glasses were required. Later in the book he states his mother surrendered her eyesight rather than seeing the world through what she thought were the eyes of evil. She did not realize that both healing and the ability to deny it dwelled within her all along. Though she began to suspect this was the case in later years over which her sight began to improve again. He learned that Norbu was not apparently remarkable in general, nor especially complex; just a fellow with a capacity to heal that he, Norbu, couldn’t adequately explain.

Anita Rettig, who would eventually become Mitchell’s second wife, was ill with a kidney disease that threatened to require a lengthy series of dialysis treatments. As a last-ditch effort before admitting herself into the hospital she agreed to fly to Houston for a session with Norbu. Dr. Ed Maxey from Florida flew Anita to Houston. He along with a number of other NASA flight surgeons helped with the checking of records of this session with Norbu and other similar events. She was frightened, pale, and very uncomfortable when she arrived. Nevertheless she went on Norbu’s diet regimen of grape juice while the doctors assembled, checked her records, and watched Norbu initiate his treatment. He knew nothing of her disease yet soon gave the correct diagnosis. Then after about 20 minutes in his meditative trance, Norbu ordered her to sleep for the night, treat herself kindly for a few days, and drink more grape juice. Her problem appeared to clear up immediately and dialysis was never required. Almost two years later she had a check-up by an eminent internist in San Francisco who found no trace of the kidney disease.

This is a widely reported case including in the NY Times in 2012. Stamatis Moraitis was a Greek war veteran who was living in the United States when he was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and told he had only nine months to live. He was offered aggressive treatment, but after nine doctors apparently assured him that it wouldn’t save his life, he decided to save his money, decline treatment, and move with his wife back to his native Ikaria, a Greek island where he could be buried with his ancestors in a graveyard overlooking the Aegean Sea.

He and his wife moved into a small house on a vineyard with his elderly parents, where he reconnected with his faith and started going to his old church. When his friends got wind of the fact that Stamatis was back home, they showed up with bottles of wine, books, and board games to entertain him and keep him company. He planted vegetables in a garden, basked in sunshine, savored the salty air and relished in his love for his wife.

Six months passed and not only did he not die, he was actually feeling better than ever. He started working in the untended vineyard during the day, making himself useful, and in the evenings he’d play dominos with friends. He took a lot of naps, rarely looked at a watch and spent a lot of time outdoors. At one point, twenty-five years after his diagnosis, Stamatis went back to the United States to ask his doctors what had happened. Apparently, the doctors were all dead. Stamatis finally died in Ikaria. He was 102 years old.

Anita Moorjani describes in her book Dying to be Me how she was dying of end-stage Stage 4 lymphoma when she experienced the classic “white light” near death experience so many others have described. Once on the other side, she was able to look down upon her doctors, loved ones, a brother on a plane from India to pay her his last respects and even report of conversations about her condition though she was entirely unconscious and of a conversation outside her hospital room. Her heart was filled with a feeling of profound unconditional love and she was happy to be free of her dying, sickly body.

Then she was told that she had a choice, she could stay in the brilliant light or she could go back and share her story with others. She didn’t want to come back. Her body had been in so much pain and she felt she had become a burden to her family. But she was told that if she came back, her cancer would be cured. She believed what she was told and returned to the world so she could share her experience. She also reported that she learned that she had cancer due to her extreme fear of contracting cancer, which she watched her best friend die of prior to her becoming afflicted with the disease. 

The Gifted Healer

Norbu Chen seemed to have had a talent for this type of healing as probably do many others, and the rest of us to varying degrees. I happened to meet one natural healer and have been told of others – persons who could heal just by placing their hands near the body of the afflicted and were aware of their talent since childhood. In some cases, other members of their family were also gifted natural healers. One man told me his father kept his talent hidden afraid others would think he was crazy, then later, when an old man, he regretting not using it. Who can blame him?

What would happen to the exceedingly profitable medical and pharmaceutical industry if this talent were to be recognized, much appreciated and widely utilized? What else might interfere with this great possibility? Perhaps some people want to be sick and cared for by others, or they’ve grown comfortable with their particular malady, or maybe they do not want to live anymore and so on.

It’s a Miracle video She Somehow Regained Her Sight

When Amy was born they found she had a severe gap in her eye that affected the development of her retina and optic nerve. She was told she would only ever see blurred shapes and no color. Eventually, she lost her sight completely, before making a miraculous recovery a year later when her vision returned in both eyes stronger than before!

I pondered how this could have happened and considered brain plasticity, a redirecting of neural connections and function when the first and natural neurons, and other brain cells, are injured or debilitated somehow. Yet, that would not explain the retinal defect. Neurologists and neuroscientists insist that neurons, brain tissue, do not regenerate. Then it dawned on me, there is no scientific explanation.

Near death experiencers, NDEs, have so much to offer about the greater state of our consciousness, giving us a glimpse of life following death, without the no longer functioning body. What they report about their transcendent experiences are nothing, or very little, like the physical world we experience with our physical sensory perception organs. The most astonishing NDEs are those who experience miraculous healings upon their return to physical consciousness/awareness (Anita Moojani and Dr. Eben Alexander being the most renowned). As well, some NDEs provide verifiable reports of, while entirely unconscious and anesthetized or flatlined (observably clinically dead), traveling out of the body and observing persons, places and things and hearing sounds, including conversations, going on around yet at a distance from their bodies, outside the hospital room even. While in this non physical, spiritual state they not only have greater freedom of movement but they see and hear physical things and activities though they are not physical and have no physical organs with which to see and hear.

Along these lines of thought, here’s a definition of fractals: That which is observable as being ‘the same’ or similar at increasing levels of expansion. For example, three states, two beyond the strictly three dimensional spacetime state of awareness: from the singular human perspective, then beyond to the whole of the human specie perspective (incl. past, present and future) and then the greater, vaster, the ultimate, Divine, or God state. Some NDEs report of knowing wholly (is there any other knowing?) as if the ‘others’ they observed were themselves; knowing what everyone in their purview was thinking, feeling and even their entire life histories. ‘The same’ in such an example would include the Divine, the whole, inclusive of the individual. That is what is meant by the Christian concept, Son of God.

This young girl (who by-the-way did not have an NDE or other transcendent experience), once her vision was restored and much improved over her prior condition, still showed the defective condition of her retina and optic nerve according to her doctor. He said that her seeing was a miracle. I believe that she had developed, or was graced with, her true yet partial spiritual state of awareness, thus seeing (her/our true eternal state) without the functioning optical parts we believe are necessary for vision.

It’s important to develop an awareness of our true Self, our functioning connection with one’s spiritual state, with each other’s true Self within and of the Divine, or God. In some religious and spiritual teachings that is what “seeing” means. It is our very lack of this awareness, or seeing, that is the source of disease, suffering and death. If we recovered, could see, our true nature we would joyously create a Heaven on Earth – our reason for being here.

Mind-cure and Prayer

Here are a few excerpts from Harvard professor William James’ book The Varieties of Religious Experience. It is a quote by a mind-cure writer criticizing the then quite prevalent, “fearthought”:

Harvard professor William James (1842 – 1910)

“… then there is a long line of particular fears and trouble bearing expectations. Such as, ideas associated with certain types of food, the dread of the east wind, the terrors of hot weather, the aches and pains associated with cold weather, the fear of catching a cold, the flu, the coming of hay-fever on the 14th of August in the middle of the day, and so on … dreads, worriments, anxieties, anticipations, pessimisms, morbidities; the whole ghastly train of fateful horrors which our fellow man, and especially physicians, are ready to help us conjure up.”

“Yet, this is not all” he goes on “The vast array is swelled by innumerable volunteers from daily life as well: the fear of accident, the possibility of calamity, the loss of property, the chance of robbery, of fire, of outbreak of war. If all this is not deemed sufficiently fearful enough for us, when a friend is taken ill we must fear the worst and apprehend death. And, it is then that sympathy enters into the misery and increases our suffering. Think of all the millions of sensitive and responsive souls among our ancestors who have been under the dominion of such a perpetual nightmare! Is it not surprising that health exists at all?”

James also cites another case of mind-cure stating that this case not only illustrates experimental verification, but also the element of passivity and surrender:

“I went into town to do some shopping one morning and I had not been out long before I began to feel ill. The feeling increased rapidly until I had pains in all my bones, a headache, nausea and faintness; all the symptoms preceding an attack of influenza, or grippe; an epidemic in Boston at the time. Seeing this as an opportunity to apply the mind-cure teachings I had been listening to all the winter I thought here was an opportunity to test myself. I refrained from mentioning how I felt to a friend I met – that was the first step gained. Once home, I went to bed immediately though my husband wished me to see a doctor. Then what followed was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life.”

“I cannot express in words other than to say that I lie down in the stream of life and let it flow over me. I gave up all fear of any impending disease; I was willing and obedient. There was no intellectual effort of train of thought. My dominant idea was: Be it unto me Lord as thou wilt and I felt a perfect confidence that all would be well; that all was well. The creative life was flowing into me every instant, and I felt myself allied with the Infinite, in harmony, and full of the peace that passeth understanding. There was no place in my mind of a jarring body. I had no consciousness of time or space or persons; but only of love and happiness and faith. I do not know how long this state lasted, nor when I fell asleep. But, when I woke up on the morning, I was well!”

Golden Lining is an oil painting by Leslie Taylor

The “Mind Curer’s” ideas form a psychic group worthy of respectful consideration says James. The fundamental pillar on which their creed rests is the same as the general basis of all religious experience; that man has a dual nature; a shallower, superficial sphere and a profound, deeper yet vaster sphere. The shallower being the fleshly sensations, the instincts and desires of egotism, and doubt. But, whereas Christian theology has always considered impertinence, or lack of humility, to be the essential vice, the mind-curers say that the mark of the beast is fear and this is what gives such an entirely new religion (as of a hundred years ago when James’ said these words) a turn in its favor.

This is a case where a woman was exposed from childhood to Christian ideas. Yet, to her they were but religious formulas before a saving experience had occurred to her:

“For myself I can say that spiritualism has saved me. It was revealed to me at a critical moment of my life, and without it I don’t know what I should have done. It has taught me to detach myself from worldly things and to place my hope in things to come. Through it I have learned to see in all men, even in those most criminal, even in those from whom I have most suffered, underdeveloped brothers to whom I owed my assistance, love, and forgiveness. I have learned that I must not lose my temper over anything, despise no one, and pray for all. Most of all I have learned to pray! … prayer ever brings me more strength, consolation and comfort.”

Prayer, More From William James Book, The Varieties of Religious Experience

James surmises that in the distinctively religious sphere of experience, many persons (and how many one cannot say) experience their belief not in the form of mere abstract concepts, but rather in the form of “quasi-sensible” realities directly comprehended. Here he cites an example of one deploring the loss of the sense in question; an account given to James by a scientific man of his acquaintance:

“Between twenty and thirty I gradually became more and more agnostic and irreligious. I had ceased my childish prayers to God. Although I never prayed in a formal manner, but more like having been in a relationship with “It” which was practically the same thing as prayer. Whenever I had any trouble, especially conflicts with other people or when I was depressed in spirits or anxious about affairs, I used to fall back for support upon this curious relation which I then felt to be this fundamental cosmic “It.” It was on my side, or I was on its side, however you please to look at it, in the particular trouble. And, it always strengthened me and seemed to give me endless vitality to feel its underlying and supporting presence. It was an unfailing fountain of living justice, truth, and strength to which I instinctively turned to at times of weakness and it always brought me out.”

“I know that it was a personal relationship I was in because now, years later, the power of communication with it has left me and I am conscious of a definite loss. I never used to fail to find it when I turned to it. Then came a set of years when sometimes I found it, and then again, other times when I would be wholly unable to make a connection. I would be unable to get to sleep on account of worry and in the darkness I groped mentally for that higher mind of my mind which had before seemed always to be close at hand, yielding support, but there was no electric current; a blank was there instead of It. Now, at the age of fifty, I have to confess that a great help has gone out of my life. Life has become curiously dead and indifferent. I can now see that my earlier experience was probably exactly the same thing as prayers, only I did not call them by that name. Although I have spoken of it as “It,” it was my own instinctive and individual God whom I relied on for higher understanding but whom somehow I have since lost.”

Excerpts from “Prayer: The Art of Believing  by Neville Goddard 

According to Goddard, what we are conscious of is constructed out of what we are not conscious of. Not only do our subconscious assumptions influence our behavior but they also fashion the pattern of our objective existence. Prayer modifies or completely changes our subconscious assumptions, and a change of assumption is a change of expression.

The conscious mind reasons from observation, experience and education. It therefore finds it difficult to believe what the five senses and reason deny. The subconscious is never concerned with the truth or falsity of a belief, or outcome, but proceeds on the assumption of the correctness of the belief and objectifies the outcome which is consistent with the belief. This distinction must be clearly understood by all who would master the art of praying.  No true grasp of the science of prayer can be really obtained until the laws governing the dual nature of consciousness are understood and the importance of the subconscious realized.

Prayer, the art of believing what is denied by the senses and the rational intellectual mind, deals almost entirely with the subconscious. Through prayer, (as well hypnosis) the subconscious is suggested into acceptance of the wish, or suggestion, and unfolds it to its objective, experiential end. Thought and feeling fused into beliefs impress modifications upon it, charge it with a mission, which it faithfully executes.

Hypnosis

In 1841, when well established in a surgical practice at Manchester, Braid developed a keen interest in mesmerism, what hypnotism was then called. Proceeding with experiments, he disavowed the popular notion that the ability to induce hypnosis is connected with the magical passage of a fluid or other influence from the operator to the patient. Rather, he adopted a physiological view that hypnosis is a kind of nervous sleep resulting from the intense concentration necessary for staring fixedly at a bright, inanimate object. Braid introduced the term “hypnosis” in his book Neurypnology (1843). He hoped that hypnosis could be used to cure various seemingly incurable “nervous” diseases and also to alleviate the pain and anxiety of patients in surgery. Braid introduced the term “hypnosis” 1808-1859: A British surgeon in India, James Esdail, performed 2,000 operations, even amputations – with the patients under hypno-anesthesia feeling no pain during the surgery.  

1857-1926: Another Frenchman, Emile Coue, pioneered the use of autosuggestion and affirmations e.g. ‘Day by day in every way I am getting better and better’. Although stressing that he was not primarily a healer but one who taught others to heal themselves, Coué claimed to have effected organic changes through autosuggestion.

The Phantom of the Opera? 1894: Svengali – The name Svengali has come to designate an authority figure or mentor who exerts great influence, often evil, over another person. Its source is a fictional character, the villain of the romantic novel Trilby by British author George du Maurier. In the novel, a young woman named Trilby O’Ferrall falls under the spell of Svengali, a magician who through hypnosis transforms her into an acclaimed singer whom he manages. Trilby lives entirely under Svengali’s control until he dies; she then loses her voice and fame.

Are we not being hypnotized by TV and other illuminated screen technologies into be injected with substances (that we have no idea what’s in them) allowing for dehumanizing control of our thoughts, emotions and behavior by 5G and our wireless devices, such as cell phones? And, most likely, these solutions contain in them graphene oxide, graphene is the most thermally conductive substance known of.

A case of long distance hypnosis.

In 1886: Madame B., a person easily hypnotized, was the subject of many experiments arranged by Professor Pierre Janet and Dr. Gibert, a prominent physician of Le Havre. These studies were joined by F. W. H. Myers of the Society for Psychical Research, the physician A. T. Myers, Professor Ochorowicz of the University of Lvov, and M. Marillier of the French Psychological Society.

On this particular occasion the plan was that Dr. Gibert (the hypnotist) remain in his study and try to mentally summon Madame B. to leave her cottage and come see him. The cottage was about a kilometer from his house, and neither Madame B. nor any of the people living with her had been told that the experiment would take place. Gibert began issuing his mental commands at 8:55 p.m., and within half an hour she began her journey to his house. The researchers, hidden from her view along the way, could see she was obviously in a somnambulistic state. Finally she reached Gibert’s house, entered, and hurried from room to room until she found him. Researcher F. W. H. Myers wrote that out of twenty-five similar tests, nineteen were equally successful.

Plato’s Cave and the New World Order’s Great Reset

Of course today we all have in our homes TVs or with us always, as in cell phones in particular, flat illuminated screens programmed to manipulate users’ thoughts, emotions and behavior, and more and worse. The addiction to these devices and various platforms is also due to intentional programming to say nothing of the products and sociopolitical agenda they are programmed to promote.

Plato’s cave is a perfect allegory describing our narrow, diminished 2D illuminated screen hypnotically manipulated lifestyle. Recently madmen like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerman, along with other NWO elites, want us trapped in our caves and collectively experiencing our entire lives looking through and interacting with each other via their virtual reality 3D goggles allowing them even greater control and manipulation of our thoughts and feelings and what is left of our weakened or unwell bodies. They refer to this as the Metaverse. Metaver has also produced and is selling a headband that aloows the user and just the user (yeah right) to read their brain waves. Their Great Reset is perhaps instead a great replay, for many sense that the current human civilization is coming to an end. There are plenty of archeological and fossil clues carbon dated back millions of years, hundreds to a billion perhaps, suggesting that this is not the first time this has occurred. Or, are these findings evidence of humankind’s potential future?

Go to this page on my Miracles for All website titled We Have an Ancient Past, But Do We Have A Future?: https://miraclesforall.com/x-we-have-an-ancient-past-but-do-we-have-a-future/

There I provide a book review of “HUMAN DEVOLUTION” [554 pp]. He’s a thorough and competent researcher of human antiquity and has written two other books, “FORBIDDEN ARCHEOLOGY” [914 pp] and “THE HISTORY OF THE HUMAN RACE” (an abridged version of the first two). They are quite impressive and most important works. But, Cremo emphasizes, “Human Devolution” and the abridged version are not a substitute for the full version “Forbidden Archeology” and seeing for oneself the massive amount of evidence that contradicts the idea that anatomically modern humans evolved from ape-like specie over the past 6 million years. He adds that this evidence confirms that we really do require an alternative to the present theory of human evolution.

I consider it possible that this material earthly realm we currently experience will renew as it becomes increasingly uninhabitable to humans during which billions will ascend to a vaster, freer, more brilliant and beautiful spiritual state while others, having chosen to, will descend into a subterranean, more concretized, mechanistic and enslaved insect-like state of existence. The followers of the narcissistic New World Order self-proclaimed elites with their mad, inhumane plans for a Great Reset ruthlessly imposed on all, or what they’ve left remaining of humanity, might seriously reconsider their alliances with these dehumanized individuals and disassociate themselves at all costs and as soon as possible. Go further by speaking the truth whenever possible and help the harmed. The option to do so, to make amends, will be far more difficult later and the only way out. There is a reason for biblical saying, “Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit.”

The Placebo Effect – The case that sparked scientific study of the placebo effect

In 1957 psychologist Bruno Klopfer reported on the amazing case of the placebo effect involving a Mr. Wright; a man in his mid-fifties who was very close to dying from cancer of the lymph nodes.

The placebo is a chemically inert (or non-reactive) substance, such as a sugar pill, utilized as a therapeutic treatment. Or, it can refer to a procedure, a surgery even, where an operation is performed though nothing inside the body is surgically altered. The placebo is intended to facilitate a healing response by appealing to an individual’s trust and positive expectations. There are so many well-documented cases of the placebo effect that the scientific community has taken these reports quite seriously and has conducted several scientific experiments substantiating the helpful effects of the placebo.

Mr. Wright had read reports of a new experimental drug, Krebiozen, and believed the drug would result in the reversal of his terminal condition. He begged his doctor to try the new drug on him. After taking the drug it is reported that his “tumor masses melted away like snowballs on a hot stove” and the patient was discharged from the hospital ten days later. Then, Mr. Wright read another report declaring that the medicine was ineffective. Within two months all of the patient’s cancer symptoms returned. The wise doctor (realizing what was going on) deciding to improvise, and persuaded the patient that the newspapers were wrong and that his relapse was due to an inadequate dosage then injected him with distilled water. He noted that the patient was “ecstatic” in his expectation to be healed. The tumors once again disappeared and Wright was thus described as “the picture of health.” And so he remained healthy until he read an announcement from the American Medical Association: “Nationwide tests show Kreboizen to be a worthless drug for the treatment of cancer.” In a matter of days, Mr. Wright had died.

The Placebo Effect Digested – 10 Amazing Findings by Christian Jarrett published by the British Psychological Society Research Digest. The article is a fascinating read [link below] that will no doubt, in and of itself, positively affect your physical and psychological well-being. The text below is points made in the article: 

It is reported that as many as 30% of the placebo group experience the same alleviation or decrease in symptoms as the group receiving the pharmaceutical. Occasionally the results are quite astounding, such as a total reversal of an untreatable cancer. There are even reported cases of the placebo working even though those in the placebo groups are aware they are given placebos; with the word placebo written on the prescription bottles! The mind over matter healing effects here are verifiably significant even according to the most skeptical of researchers. 

Some people are more prone to the placebo effect than others. Certain personality traits are associated with it being more likely that a person will experience the placebo effect. This is logical since the results depend on our beliefs and expectations, which some of us may ascribe to more readily and enthusiastically than others. For example, optimists are more responsive to analgesic placebos, as are people who score high for emotional resilience and friendliness.

Some doctors are better at inducing the placebo effect than others given that effects depend on the patient believing in the power of the treatment being given to them, it follows that some doctors will be better placed to reinforce this hope and expectation than others. Research backs this up: a study that involved a placebo injection for the treatment of an allergic reaction found that symptom improvement was greater when the injection was given by a doctor conveying warmth and confidence. 

Feelings of similarity toward one’s doctor may also be relevant: another study found that subjective pain was lower after a medical procedure when participants thought they’d been paired with a doctor who shared the same values and personal beliefs as them. 

The placebo effect also has an “evil twin.” If the placebo effect occurs simply because you believe a given treatment will be beneficial, it follows that if you have negative expectations, this could result in a worsening of your symptoms. That’s exactly what researchers have found and they’ve called this the “nocebo effect”. In the context of analgesia (in which some participants are told that an inert cream or pill leads to increased pain in some people) studies found that the nocebo effect is roughly similar in size to positive placebo effects.

They’ve found that it works with animals as well. An animal would receive an analgesic for pain and while being administered, a scent would be present. They later found that the scent alone was enough to produce the pain relieving effects in the animal.

He adds, the placebo effect isn’t just about pain reduction, relief of allergy symptoms, etc. – it can boost creativity and cognitive performance too.

To input the article’s title and author leads only to the British Psychological Society, staunch, mostly atheist scientific materialists aligned with an intolerant political agenda. Other online searches for the author and article leads to a brief text based on the original article and with Robert H.

A brief look at multiple personalities with different health issues

Anthony Robbins’ book Unlimited Power describes a case of a psychiatric patient with a split personality. One of her personalities was diabetic, while another was not. Her blood sugars would be normal when she was in her non-diabetic personality, but then when she shifted into her diabetic alter ego, her blood sugars rose, and all medical evidence demonstrated that she was diabetic. When her personality flipped back to the non-diabetic counterpart, her blood sugars normalized.

Psychiatrist Bennett Braun, author of The Treatment of Multiple Personality Disorder describes the case of Timmy, who also had multiple personalities. One personality was allergic to orange juice, and when this personality drank orange juice, Timmy would break into blistering hives. However, another personality drinks orange juice uneventfully. If the allergic personality was in the midst of an allergy attack and he shifted back to the non-allergic personality, the hives would disappear instantly.

The study of the two sides, left and right hemisphere, of the human brain.

Iain McGilchrist, M.D.  studied philosophy and theology at Oxford and, following graduation in 1975, was awarded a Prize Fellowship at All Souls College, Oxford. Later he studied medicine and at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland, USA, studied neuro imaging. He is now a practicing psychiatrist as well as writer.

His book The Master and His Emissary looks at the divided brain (the left and right hemispheres), their distinct differences and, not just that they are divided but why, and how this division contributes to the whole of human thought and therefore culture. An Amazon reviewer summed up the two hemispheres based on McGilchrist’s book as such:

“The right hemisphere of the brain (the Master in his title) provides our primary connection to the world. The left hemisphere is its Emissary, breaking wholes into parts, analyzing, devising categories, names and theories then returning the results of its investigations to the right brain to be integrated into the [whole] of lived experience. The health of individuals and all of humanity depends upon a reciprocal connection. The problem is that the left brain imagines it “knows” things it can’t possibly know, usurps its role projecting its own definite and partial version of the world onto the world’s essentially ambiguous reality.”

The Master and His Emissary is not an easy read. I struggled with parts and, admittedly, at times grew tired of the struggle. Nonetheless, it is a brilliant and exceedingly important thesis. I feel McGilchrist has shined a light on a darkened and much neglected area of human thought and contribution (and therefore human values and related behavior) which our species needs to look long and truthfully at. Our very survival depends upon it.

The Divided Brain and the Search for Meaning – Why Are We So Unhappy? is a shorter 10,000 word electronic essay written as a complimentary, and summary, version of his book. McGilchrist notes that despite the vast increase in material well-being we are less happy now than people were fifty years ago. He suggests that the left hemisphere, with its obsession of reducing everything it sees to the level of minute, mechanistic details, is robbing modern society of the ability to understand and appreciate deeper human values.

Yet, what are we to make of this? Is your brain even necessary?

Or perhaps the spirit is predominant over the body and when a body part, an organ, is missing yet this is not apparent as in a missing limb, the spirit can operate the mind/body unimpeded allowing for normal functioning.

Of course, generally speaking, the mainstream scientific community today does not consider a God, much less the existence of the living, spiritual nature inherent in all of life. In fact, they have difficulty even taking consciousness into consideration (at any level, a Divine, or cosmic wide, or species specific) often referring to it as “the hard problem of consciousness.” According to the western, materialist, scientific view consciousness, whatever they think it might be, is but the result of neuronal electrochemical processes; in other words, no brain, no consciousness. In the case below and several other similar cases, scientists, including Dr Lorber below, state that perhaps due to neural redundancy a small amount of brain tissue somehow compensates.

Dr. Lorber, a neurology professor at the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom, recalled when, in the 1970’s, a campus doctor asked him to examine a student whose head was a bit larger than normal. Lorber discovered that the student had only a thin layer of mantle and his cranium was filled mainly with cerebrospinal fluid. The man had hydrocephalus and such a condition is usually fatal within the first few months of life. If individuals survive beyond infancy, they are usually severely retarded. In this case, the student was a math major at the University of Sheffield; he had an IQ of 126 and graduated with honors. Dr. Patrick Wall, Professor of Anatomy at University College, London, stated that there existed scores of accounts of people existing without discernible brains. The importance of Lorber’s work, Wall said, was that he had conducted a long series of systematic [brain] scans rather than simply collecting anecdotal material.  

Harvard neurosurgeon Dr. Eben Alexander experienced a remarkable near death experience while in coma and miraculous recovery from a rare and deadly bacterial meningitis that destroyed his entire cerebral cortex. This should have left him in a vegetative state, if alive at all. He has since written three books on his experiences and follow up research and findings as to what his experiences suggest spiritually.

The connection between the mystical or transcendental experience and miraculous healings are important for they are both spiritual in nature.

The Mystical Experience

Here is another case, the writer being a man aged twenty-seven (again, from William James’ book): “I have on a number of occasions felt that I had enjoyed a period of intimate communion with the Divine. These meetings came unasked for and unexpected. Once it was from the summit of a high mountain. Beneath me and beyond was a boundless expanse of white cloud cover. And, on the blown surface a few high peaks, including the one I was on, seemed to be plunging about as if they were dragging their anchors. What I felt, on this and other occasions, was a temporary loss of my own identity accompanied by an illumination which revealed to me a deeper significance then that which I had been previously inclined to attach to life. It is in this that I find my justification for saying that I have enjoyed communication with God. Of course, the absence of such a being as this would be chaos. I cannot conceive of life without its presence.”

William James also quotes a German author in his book: “The compensation (of the ‘enveloping,’ with all, experience) for the loss of that sense of personal independence (the ego, the sense of separateness) which man so unwillingly relinquishes is the disappearance of all fear from one’s life; the indescribable and inexplicable feeling of an inner security which, one can only experience, but once it has been experienced, one can never forget.”

Many more excited expressions of this condition are abundant in religious literature and James mentions that he could easily weary us with their monotony. 

Yet here he provides us with one more from Ms. Jonathan Edwards [abridged]: “Last night was the sweetest night I ever had in my life … there seemed to be a constant flowing and reflowing of heavenly love and I appeared to myself to float or swim, in the bright sweet beams. I think that what I felt each minute was worth more than all the outward comfort and pleasure which I had enjoyed in the whole of my life put together. It was a sweetness within which my soul was lost. There seemed to be little difference whether I was asleep or awake but, if there was a difference, the sweetness was greatest while I was asleep.” She goes on to say, “The resignation, the glory of God which seemed to swallow me up, in its clearness and brightness lasted the rest of the night, and all the next day, and on Monday without interruption or abatement.”

Lord Alfred Tennyson was Poet Laureate of Great Britain and Ireland during Queen Victoria’s reign. He writes, “I have never had any revelations through anesthetics of any kind, but a walking trance, for lack of a better word, I have frequently experienced since boyhood, when I have been all alone. This has come upon me through repeating my own name to myself silently, till all at once, as it were, out of the intensity of the consciousness of individuality, individuality itself seemed to dissolve and fade away into boundless being. And, this is not a confused state but the clearest, the surest of the surest, utterly beyond words state – where death was an almost laughable impossibility – the loss of personality seeming not extinction, but the only true life. I am ashamed of my feeble description. Have I not said the state is utterly beyond words?” 

British Poet Laureate Lord Alfred Tennyson (1809 – 1892)

Jakob Behmen (1575 – 1624) a German mystic and theosophist writes:

“Love is Nothing [No Thing] for, when thou hath gone forth wholly from the creature and from that which is visible, and become Nothing to all that is Nature and Creature, then thou art in that eternal One, which is God Himself, and then thou shall feel within thee the highest virtue of Love – the treasure of treasures. For, the soul is out of the somewhat into that Nothing out of which all things may be made. The soul here saith, I have nothing, for I am utterly stripped and naked; I can do nothing for I have no manner of power; I am as water poured out; I am nothing for that ‘I am’ is no more; and only God is to me. I AM.”

Astronaut Edgar Mitchell’s Samadhi Experience

Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell describes his samadhi experience during his return to Earth (having been the 6th man to walk on the moon) in the space capsule, Kitty Hawk, with his two comrades, Al Shepard and Stuart Roosa, as it rotated in what he described as the barbecue mode (so the Sun was not always shining on one side of the capsule):

“Perhaps it was the disorienting, or reorienting, effect of a rotation environment while the Heaven and Earth tumbled alternating in and out of view in the small capsule window. Perhaps it was the air of safety and sanctuary after a two-day foray into an unforgiving environment.” 

“Somehow I felt I turned into something much larger than the planet in the window. Something incomprehensibly big. Even today the perceptions still baffle me.” “Looking beyond the Earth itself to the magnificence of the larger scene there was a startling recognition that the nature of the universe was not as I had been taught. My understanding of the separate distinctness and the relative independence of movement of those cosmic bodies was shattered. There was an upwelling of fresh insight coupled with a feeling of ubiquitous harmony – a sense of interconnectedness with the celestial bodies surrounding our space craft. Particular scientific facts about stellar evolution took on new significance.” “This wasn’t a religious or other-worldly experience, though many have tried to cast similar events in that mold. Nor was it a totally new scientific understanding of which I had suddenly become aware. It was just a pointer, a signpost showing the direction toward new viewpoints and greater understanding.”

“The human being is part of a continuously evolving process, a more grand and intelligent process than classical science and the religious traditions have been able to correctly describe. I was part of a larger natural process than I’d previously understood, one that was all around me in this command module as it sped toward Earth through 240,000 miles of empty black space.” “Billions of years ago, the molecules of my, of Stu’s and Al’s bodies, of the spacecraft, of the world I had come from and was now returning to, were manufactured in the furnace of an ancient generation of stars like those surrounding us. This suddenly meant something different. It was now poignant, and personal, not just intellectual theorizing. Our presence here, outside the domain of the home planet, was not rooted in an accident of nature, nor the capricious political whim of a technological civilization. It was rather an extension of the same universal process that evolved our molecules.” “And, what I felt was an extraordinary personal connectedness with it.

I experienced what has been described as an ecstasy of unity. I not only saw the connectedness, I felt it and experienced it sentiently. I was overwhelmed with the sensation of physically and mentally extending out into the cosmos. The restraints and boundaries of flesh and bone fell away. I realized that this was a biological response of my brain attempting to reorganize and give meaning to this information about the wonderful and awesome processes I was privileged to view from this vantage point. Though I am now more capable of articulating what I felt then, words somehow still fall short. I am convinced that it always has been and always will be a largely ineffable experience.”

Cosmic Consciousness

Canadian psychiatrist, Dr. Richard M. Bucke (1837 – 1902) characterizes these phenomena as “cosmic consciousness.” He writes, “I had spent the evening in a great city with two friends reading and discussing poetry and philosophy. We parted at midnight and I had a long drive to my lodging. My mind was deeply under the influence of the ideas, images, and emotions called up by the reading and talk. I was calm and peaceful; letting ideas, images and emotions flow in and of themselves, as it were, through my mind. All at once, without warning of any kind, I found myself wrapped in a flame colored conflagration from somewhere close by in the great city. Then next, I knew that the fire was not outside me but rather within me. What suddenly followed was a sense of exultation and of immense joyousness immediately followed by an intellectual illumination impossible to describe.“

“I did not merely come to believe, among other things, but saw that the universe is not composed of dead matter; on the contrary, it is a living Presence. I became conscious in myself of eternal life; meaning not that I would have, but that I was, eternal life. I saw that all men are immortal and that the cosmic order is such that, without any doubt, all things work together for the good of each and all and that the founding principle of this world, of all worlds, is what we call love. And, that the happiness of each and all is, in the long run, certain. The vision lasted but a few seconds and was gone. But, the memory of it and the sense of the reality of what it taught me has remained during the quarter of a century which has since elapsed; I knew that what the vision showed me was true. That view, that conviction, that consciousness, has never, even during periods of the deepest depression, been lost.”

Cosmic Consciousness” by R. M. Bucke

Divine Message – Seeing Heaven 

I, the writer and artist Leslie Taylor, was in my early thirties and living in San Francisco when this transcendent experience occurred. It was the middle of the night and I was sound asleep and in the midst of a dream when a voice sharply interrupted asking, “Leslie, would you like to see what Heaven is like?” Initially, the voice having startled me and interrupted my dream, I was rather annoyed. Yet, moments later, while still not entirely alert, I realized the opportunity being presented to me and eagerly responded “yes!” At once, I felt the sensation of traveling upward at a surreal, unearthly rate of speed then suddenly found myself standing on a lightly colored floor with two large columns, one on either side of me. My eyes immediately moved from one side of the vista before me to the other to take in the earth-like, only far more splendid in radiance and beauty, panorama of mountains, flowers and trees. It was an experience lasting for only a few seconds when I suddenly felt myself traveling downward at, again, the same remarkable speed as before. I immediately came to complete consciousness and, astounded by what had just happened, I sat up in my bed and reached for a cigarette (having been a smoker then). Next, I observed my bedroom door open slowly and completely on its own as if someone was departing. I did not hear nor see the door nob turn, the door just opened.

More On Seeing Heaven, or a conversion experience.

This other similar experience occurred when I was sixteen years old and therefore, several years prior to the one above. It was a Friday night and a friend and I had made plans to go to the movies. I was experiencing a bout of teenage melancholy so, instead of getting ready to go out for the evening, I lay on my bed on my back staring at the ceiling above and it was my intention to remain so. This friend, I’ll call her Julie, had a strong personality and could go into quite a rage should plans change and not to her liking. Regardless, although fully aware of what her reaction would be, I was not about to move from the bed. Once she had arrived in her car to pick me up a member of my family let Julie into our home. She entered my bedroom and, surprisingly, rather than being angry with me as I had expected, once I had expressed that I did not feel like going anywhere she pulled the chair out from my desk over to my bedside and inquired, almost therapeutically, “What’s the matter Leslie?” I responded by asking her why she believed in God. Julie grew-up a Catholic and I knew she believed in what the church had taught her about God yet I knew little more about her religious, or spiritual, sentiments than that. Religion was not at all a part of my upbringing.

Following my question she calmly began speaking. I cannot recall what specifically she said, but suddenly I felt as if I were traveling upwards at the same astounding speed as described in the above “Seeing Heaven” account. And, just as described above, this was followed by the same traveling at an unearthly rate of speed downward. However, in this particular instance, and why I mention it second to the one above although it occurred many years prior, I did not recall seeing or experiencing a heavenly environment or any other scene; only the remarkable and indescribably fast sensation of being vertically transported somewhere then back again. I was stunned! as was Julie, exclaiming she hardly recalled what her response to my question had been; “As if the words flowed from my mouth on their own,” she exclaimed. And, quite surprisingly, following this experience and from then on, and to this very day, I have had no doubt of the existence of God. Yet, I could not say why I should emerge from that experience without any doubt of God’s existence for I only recall the feeling of having traveled upward and back down again at a remarkable speed.

A Course In Miracles – How Will The World End?

Lone Tree in Monterey California an oil painting by Leslie M. Taylor

“Can what has no beginning really end? The world will end in an illusion, as it began. Yet its ending will be an illusion of mercy. So ends the world that guilt had made. For now it has no purpose and is gone. The father, or origin, of illusions is the belief that they have a purpose; that they serve a need or gratify a want. Once perceived as purposeless, they are no longer seen. How but in this way are all illusions ended? They have been brought to truth, and truth saw them not. It merely overlooked the meaningless.”“Until forgiveness is complete, the world does have a purpose. It becomes the home in which forgiveness is born and where it grows and becomes stronger and more all-embracing. For here it is needed. A gentle Savior, born where sin was made and guilt seemed real. Here is His home, for here there is need of Him indeed. He brings the ending of the (perceived) world with Him.”  

Note: I can not find the name and therefore credit the artist who painted the beautiful portrait of Christ above.

The world will end with the blessing of holiness, oneness, upon it.” 

“Certainly this seems to be a long, long while away. For, “when not one thought of sin remains” appears to be a long-range goal indeed. One sin perfectly forgiven by one teacher of God can make the whole of salvation complete. Can you understand this? No; it is meaningless to anyone here. Yet it is the final lesson in which unity, oneness, is restored. It goes against all the thinking of the world, then again so does Heaven.”

“The world will end when its thought system has been completely reversed. Until then, bits and pieces of its thinking will still seem sensible. The final lesson, which brings the ending of the world, cannot be grasped by those not yet prepared to leave the world and go beyond its tiny reach.”  

“The world will end in joy, because it is a place of sorrow. When joy has come, the purpose of the world has gone. The world will end in peace, because it is a place of war. When peace has come, what is the purpose of the world? The world will end in laughter, because it is a place of tears. Where there is laughter, who can weep? And only complete forgiveness brings all this to bless the world. In blessing it departs, for it will not end as it began. To turn hell into Heaven is the function of God’s teachers, for what they teach are lessons in which Heaven is reflected. And now sit down in true humility, and realize that all God would have you do you can do. His Will be done. It cannot be otherwise.”

Modern Physics and Ancient Faith by Dr. Steven M. Barr

“Is the Human Mind Just a Computer?” And here we will encounter what is meant by a formal system. Barr advises that in order to reduce the process of reasoning to the level of mechanical symbolic manipulation it has the effect of draining it of most, if not all, of its meaning. Such systems are referred to as formal systems. Computers (computer programs, or algorithms) operate on this level. 

Barr elaborates further on what formal systems can and cannot prove and claims that human intelligence can, in the end, outwit the computer with its ability to think conceptually and abstractly – thought processes that are beyond the capacity of such formal systems (or computer programs).

He addresses what is meant by abstract thinking: theoretical, conceptual, metaphysical, ideal, intuitive, and philosophical, to name a few. To the non-materialist, mind and the ideas of mind can indeed be real, although not reducible to matter or the behavior of matter. To the materialist however, there can be nothing more to our minds other than the [material] operations of our central nervous systems. The author quotes Sir Francis Crick (1916 – 2004) who jointly won the Nobel Prize with two other scientists for the discovery of the structure of the DNA molecule, “You are nothing but a pack of neurons.” Or, to quote Sir John Maddox, the former editor of “Nature,” the prestigious scientific journal, “… an explanation of the mind, must ultimately be an explanation in terms of the way neurons function.” Barr then mentions a recent (as of 2003 when his book was published) “Newsweek” magazine article that claims, “Thoughts … are mere will-o-wisps, ephemera with no physicality. They are, instead, electrical signals.”

Barr states that, in these cases, the very theory which claims that theories are but neurons firing is itself nothing but neurons firing; the snake eating its own tail, or head. What G. K. Chesterton (1874 – 1936) a British writer, poet and philosopher referred to as “the suicide of thought.”  

Military Insider: The Great Awakening

Following along with the theme of technology, I’m going to include a video of a testimony by a military computer program analyst. He was analyzing their Looking Glass and Stargates models that are programmed to predict future probabilities. Yet, inexplicably, all their timelines seemed to converge at 2012 following which, regardless of input, they kept producing the same results; suggestive of a complete crash of the current sociopolitical structures. He viewed it as a leading up to a new beginning; a greater human spiritual consciousness taking the place of current socio political structures built on lies and manipulations. An awakening. I you listen to the brief [11:14 minutes] video I think you’ll find his interpretation inspiring and quite plausible.

Above all things, literally, keep meditating, praying and loving. For the expansion of billions of hearts and minds will suddenly overlap and unite in a currently unimaginable extent of knowledge and love, awakening to the realization of Heaven on Earth. In fact, there’s no possibility of that which has always been, will be and is present here and now, not occurring. 

Military Insider video: They Panicked When They Saw The Future

[The video has since been taken down.]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoREKB5KUsw

Here’s an online quote from Indian (as he was referred to) : For me, this is just fantastic, as it basically scientific evidence, that all timelines, basically converge into one scenario… and we know that, this is basically the fifth dimensional reality… involving a dissolving of time, and everything basically happening at once… a reality that cannot be controlled… a reality that is not linear… even a reality that their computers fail to fully compute!

Here’s another interpretation, “That’s important to the people that had access to Looking Glass because they would use Looking Glass knowing that the choices they would make and the future would pop up.” Imagine having that capability and then losing it. “Very smart people began to figure out that something big was coming up.” “No decision, no possibility changed anything past a certain point. That’s the big secret – all possible timelines lead to the same basic” [outcome….] “That is what sends everybody that has all of the information… into a blind panic.” [Some insiders claim one faction of the elite even contemplated various depopulation events up to and including a nuclear WW3 to attempt to alter the inevitable outcome.] and this was before the CV-19 crisis and coerced fax-nation programs.

The narrator in the video says he was paid to analyze this problem and decided the computer is right, the outcome is inevitable and the elite have no control over it. He does not specifically claim there will be a pole shift but he does say that “at first I though it was end of the world.” But he says that after the elite fails to maintain control the end result is “an awakening process.”

A DREAM FORETELLING OF A RADIANTLY BEAUTIFUL BRAND NEW EARTH!

First I must mention the remarkable fact that the moon appears the very same size as the Sun as viewed from Earth. The Sun’s diameter is about 400 times larger than that of the moon – and the Sun is also about 400 times farther from Earth than the moon. So the Sun and Moon appear nearly the same size as seen from Earth within a 99.9 percent accuracy; thus the total solar eclipse.

The movie poster [below] but illustrates the dream. I’ve not seen the movie though I watched a couple of trailers. Curiously, the woman in the poster plays the part of an astrophysicist. And, the leading theory regarding planet formation is known as the “protoplanet hypothesis,” which claims that very small objects orbiting the sun crashed and merged together accumulating more and more objects growing large enough to form planets.

The dream: In July, 2019 on a Sunday morning I woke up following what seemed like a prophetic, or providential dream of global (not personal) significance. The dream was uniquely brilliant in color and detail which can suggest something more than just an ordinary dream occured. It was nighttime and I was standing outdoors looking up at a brightly lit full moon. Then, from further out in space, a slightly smaller asteroid, or moon-like object, appeared rapidly moving in the direction of the moon then crashed head-on into it shooting debris out in every direction, but also seeming to be merging with the moon. I was terrified, for I knew that this disaster would very soon impact Earth and all life on the planet would then be annihilated. Then suddenly, in the sky above where the moons collided, appeared instead a perfect and radiantly beautiful brand new Earth. I immediately sat up in my bed and said out loud, “Thank you God for this dream! Thank you!” I had never done that or anything like that before.
