Annihilating Time

Annihilating Time

A reader made an interesting find which is worthy of comment. He writes:

I came upon the following from D.K. [White Magic: Rule 10 Group of World Servers] and was blown away by the following phrase, …”humanity…will eventually annihilate time…”

Below I have taken the page and paraphrased the intent. A mind blower. ‘ANNIHILATE TIME’ ‘OMNIPRESENT’ ‘OMNISCIENCE’ This is the future of humanity according to D.K. I have read White Magic before and somehow missed this.

“About the year 1400, the Hierarchy of Masters was faced with a difficult situation…After noting and watching this trend of affairs for another one hundred years, the Elder Brothers of the race called a conclave of all departments about the year 1500 A.D. …At this conclave…They had, in connection with these aspirants, two problems:

They had to deal with the failure on the part of even the most advanced disciples to preserve continuity of consciousness, a failure even now manifested by even initiates.

The Masters found the minds and brains of chelas curiously insensitive to the higher contacts, and this again is a condition which still prevails.

The plan as at present sensed, and for which the Masters are steadily working, might be defined as follows: – It is the production of a subjective synthesis in humanity and of a telepathic interplay which will eventually annihilate time.

It will make available to every man all past achievements and knowledges, it will reveal to man the true significance of his mind and brain and make him the master of that equipment and will make him therefore omnipresent and eventually open the door to omniscience

all can therefore strive towards achieving continuity of consciousness and at awakening that inner light which, when seen and intelligently used, will serve to reveal other aspects of the Plan

To bring this about has been the objective of all training given during the past 400 years”

“Just amazing,” he says.

JJ: Great find for contemplation. When I read your post I did not recall reading that myself so I checked my White Magic book that I had read several times and was surprised I did not have it highlighted. Then I checked my notes I saved on my computer and sure enough it was there with “annihilate time” highlighted in bold. It looks like I eventually did catch it but due to an imperfect memory I didn’t recall the phrase in the present.

Yes, it is an interesting phrase, but in interpreting DK or any inspired writer one may be misled if he interprets literally. The whole picture of the presentation must be considered. Here is my take.

By annihilating time he doesn’t mean that time will no longer exist. For instance, the spheres of existence after death are often referred to as places where time no longer exists, but this is not literally true. In truth we are not concerned about the passing of time there and because minutes and hours are not counted as they are here. It is as if time does not exist but time still does exist for us here in this plane and continues to pass.

The time barrier DK is talking about is that which exists between lives. Within one lifetime it is fairly easy to annihilate time. Any time a seeker attempts to focus he can withdraw into his consciousness and regress himself to any point in his life that lies within his memory. He can then relive those past moments as if they are happening now, thus annihilating time.

He points out that a problem that most disciples have is they cannot annihilate time between lives. It would be desirable if they could obtain “continuity of consciousness” so time could be removed as a barrier and then they could retrieve knowledge and intelligence from past lives.

When he says that this will make us “omnipresent and eventually open the door to omniscience” he is hinting at the powers available when the Oneness Principle is mastered. To tune into this one must enter the Eternal Now in consciousness and in a sense this annihilates time.

Very few remember details of their past lives without the assistance of regression techniques. There are a number of degrees available to the disciple as far as continuity of consciousness is concerned. The most important achievement is for the disciple to retrieve his past wisdom and knowledge of principles and understanding. He must obtain the confidence that this understanding should bring. He will then intuitively comprehend all that was available to him in the past though he may not have all the details available. The historical details of the past must be discovered through various techniques, but often such retrieval is not necessary.

Another reader asks this: I know that the Bible has been translated some of it’s original meaning lost. What % is the Bible accurate like is it 98% accurate including stories like Samson [the strong man], King David killing a giant and ect. … And what about the Book of Mormon…how accurate is it?

JJ: Concerning the Bible the problem is not so much with translation [though that is a problem] as with not having the original text. In Bible times if you wanted a copy of some scripture you had to either get it from a scribe or copy it yourself. Now copying texts in ancient times is a little like the game of Chinese Whispers, as mentioned in Eternal Words. After a few copies are made changes occur. For example, imagine a scribe making a copy of one of the gospels and comes across a scripture that does not sound right to him. He is likely to change the wording to make it read better or to add a notation giving it a clearer meaning in his opinion. Then the next guy makes a copy from his copy. The changes in wording are then passed on and notations are sometimes included as if it were original text.

It is estimated that the earliest full copies we have of the gospels are around the twelfth copy. Common sense tells you that the twelfth copy would deviate substantially from the original.

The message of my book Eternal Words is that certain phrases and teachings that embody principles are so clear that they will survive future distortions. For instance, “the truth will set you free” is so profound that the basic meaning will survive the copying process.

The teachings that a book contains are much more important than whether or not all the details of the stories are true. One can look at it this way. Throughout the universe every story one can imagine has happened somewhere. Therefore, most any story you read is true somewhere.

Teachings, on the other hand, are a different matter. Where stories of people are different everywhere, principles are not. If a principle is true here it will also be true in all parts of the earth, the solar system and the galaxy.

Therefore, when I read a book of teachings of questionable origin I look not for the black and white historical data but I look at the lessons taught and the knowledge and principles conveyed.

I do not believe that either the Bible or Book of Mormon are 100% correct historically, but all the stories have seeds of truth and represent real events and people. Both books have a lot of good teachings, but even the best of books must be read through the eyes of the soul. If this is done then the seeker will savor that which is good and discard that which does not register.

Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. – Henry David Thoreau

The Speed of Gravity

The Speed of Gravity

A reader wants to know the speed of gravity in relation to the speed of light.

There are a number of theories on this. Some believe the speed of gravity is instantaneous across the universe but recent experiments indicate that Einstein was correct in that it is approximately the same speed as light.

The Chinese recently applied some tests that indicated the speed of gravity was “between 0.93 to 1.05 times the speed of light with a relative error of about 5 percent, providing the first set of strong evidence showing that gravity travels at the speed of light.”

This has not convinced some who see the effects of gravity not matching up with the speed of light.

It is interesting that the argument boils down to a disagreement between the two greatest scientific minds of all time, Einstein and Newton. Newton thought that gravity traveled instantaneously and Einstein theorized it traveled at the speed of light, which he believed to be the ultimate speed allowed in the universe.

After reading both sides I wonder if the effects of gravity may be dual as are subatomic particles. Scientists couldn’t figure out if an electron was a particle or a wave and now they think it is both. Maybe certain ingredients of gravity [perhaps waves] travel at the speed of light and other effects of the field much faster or instantaneous.

Tom Van Flandern, in the article noted, believes gravity acts something like an anchor pulling on a buoy. The effect of the pull of the anchor is instantaneous but the waves created by the movement of the buoy take time to travel.

I don’t have a revelation on this subject but it is interesting to contemplate. I have contemplated the limitation of the speed of light and feel there is something missing from Einstein’s thinking on this but have not yet pinpointed it. I think it is possible to go faster than light without reaching infinite mass.

(Note from 2026: Two years after this was written gravitational waves were discovered and measuring their speed confirmed that the speed of gravity and light are basically the same.)

Question: How does a medium or an initiate read the Akashic records? Does he see the original scenes, as if it were a video and also hearing everything?

Does he actually hear them speaking in Hebrew, Latin, etc, then the medium somehow “understands” what they are talking about and interprets in English?

JJ: When a medium who usually works on the astral level catches a glimpse of the Akashic records he or she does not read them in sequence but catches bits and pieces. When he or she puts them together in the mind they are like kaleidoscope of colored information which makes for interesting dialog but jumbled and not very accurate. This is why a medium will sometimes come up with some startling true information but then be way off the mark on other items.

It takes either a master or a dedicated initiate focusing on the records to transmit them accurately. I personally do not know of any mortal that can do this, though many claim this ability. Levi, who received the Aquarian Gospel, spent a lot of time in deep meditation to read the records, but today few disciples will dedicate the time necessary to do what he did.

If a person is accurately reading the records he could recall the original language but because he will be unfamiliar with it he will normally concentrate on the meaning that is being conveyed. He will then translate the impressions into his familiar language.

Concerning Free Speech

Concerning the principle of free speech, it is interesting that there is confusion over what it is. The general idea in most minds is that we are free to vocalize any opinions that we desire so long as we do not endanger lives, slander or cause financial loss.

In other words, I am supposed to be able to say or write whatever I want, even if it is offensive or hurts some feelings. No men in black will come to my door and take me away.

This seems pretty simple but there are many interpret this in a distorted light.

One example was Bill Maher on his show, which was called “Politically Incorrect.” After the terrorist attack of 2001 he stated that the hijackers were men or courage. This offended many people and in particular it offended some of his advertisers who withdrew from his program. This loss of revenue was a partial cause of his show being cancelled.

After the advertisers withdrew Maher complained many times that his free speech rights were violated, but were they?

Was he accused of breaking any law? No.

Was there anything in place to prevent him from telling anyone he came into contact with that the hijackers were courageous? No. Even though this opinion was offensive to many he could voice it all he wanted.

The only way to keep the advertisers on the program when they did not want to be there would be to force them to stay. And if they were forced to pay Bill Maher to speak then who’s freedom is really taken away?

Right. Not Maher’s freedom, but the advertisers.

Free speech does not mean that you can force others to pay for you to broadcast or print your words. You have to get that done though your own efforts for the guarantee of free speech does not guarantee anyone’s success.

A similar situation happened in 2003 when the Dixie Chicks said they were ashamed that President Bush was from their home state of Texas. Many fans were offended and stopped buying their records and some offended DJs stopped playing their tunes. Again, they complained about a violation of their free speech.

These people need to read the First Amendment which says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech”

Did Congress pass a law that abridged the right of the Dixie Chicks to criticize President Bush or to prevent Bill Maher from praising the terrorists?

No, of course not. In both cases it was ordinary people, not Congress that were offended by their speech and refused to financially support it. Any individual can refuse to support any speech he deems undesirable.

In fact, political groups as well as business interests do this all the time. Many groups on the Left strongly disagree with Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh and have organized protests in attempts to get their advertisers to drop their support. This turned out to be fairly successful against Beck and he was dropped from his place on the Fox News channel. They were not as successful against Rush and other conservatives.

Now some consider this an unethical and unfair approach in dealing with political enemies but there is nothing in the First Amendment that prohibits even disgusting attempts to influence the media.

The key to understanding true free speech is the phrase, “Congress shall make no law” restricting it.

True free speech is threatened by law and powerful authorities, not opinions of the rank-and-file public.

The Great Unifier

The Great Unifier

I’ve been contemplating the principle “like attracts like” and have arrived at some additional insights. The interesting aspect of this principle is that no two people are alike. Since this is true then the question to ask when we see two people or groups attracted to each other is this. What is that which is similar which forms the basis of attraction and what is the primary ingredient that causes attraction?

When two individuals fall in love we might say the common ingredient is love. It is difficult to not be attracted to a person who truly loves and admires you. On the other hand, when the freshness of the falling in love is replaced by the difficulties of living life together then something else must come into play if the attraction is to remain. It helps if the couple has similar interests and desires, but what is the core principle of a lasting relationship.

How about friends? They do not fall in love, but fall in like. What makes a friendship last a lifetime?

How about nations and national leaders? What causes one nation to be drawn to and support another?

To understand it helps to look at the friends and enemies of Hugo Chaves who recently passed (March 5, 2013).

Who did he hate the most? In particular he hated the United States. Who did he like? He liked Cuba and Iran along with their leaders Castro and Ahmadinejad. What did they have in common? Was it religion?

Not really. Ahmadinejad sees Christians as infidels that must be subjugated and Chavez is a Roman Catholic who often spoke of Christ as his savior. Then Castro is a non believer who rules with a secular/atheistic form of communism. Religion has been very restricted and controlled during most of his rule.

If religion is the grand unifier, then you would think that Chavez would be pals with the United States since all presidents have been Christian, like himself, as well as most of the population.

Maybe it was liberal causes like gay rights and gay marriage that attracts them. Not really. Chavez was tolerant of gays and didn’t support persecuting them whereas Castro and Ahmadinejad have viciously persecuted gays in their country.

Could it be their governments? It is true they all incorporate aspects of socialism but Castro rules with hard core communism and Venezuela and Iran allow some free enterprise and land ownership. Also Iran is a theocracy something contrary to Cuba’s communism as well as Chavez’s government.

What then do these three states that are so attracted to each other have in common? Where is the like being attracted to like?

We received some thoughtful answers to this question.  Here was a good one:

“They all hate individual freedom. Isn’t there an old saying, ‘The enemy of my enemy is my friend,’ or something like that? The U.S. to a lot of the people of the world still represents the abstract concept of individual freedom, no matter how much the reality now differs from that vision. That is a concept all of these countries hate.”

Other readers gave this take:

“The big division in the world is between those who respect the principle of freedom and those who do not. Those who do not respect the principle will be attracted to each other as well as those who do like the principle.”

The quest for freedom is the quest to be free from the mark of the Beast for the Beast takes the place of the God within and becomes a God without that must be followed above and beyond anyone’s inclination to follow the inner direction. Under the Beast you are only allowed to follow your inner direction if it is in harmony with his direction.

Because individual freedom is always a threat to the Beast then wherever it shows itself will be a center where the wrath, cunning and distortion from the Beast will be unleashed.

Just take a look at some of the freedoms we have here and the attacks against them, sometimes subtly and other times very openly.

Free speech This has been under attack from the beginning of this country and the avenues of attack are increasing.

Question: In what ways is free speech under attack?

We are fortunate indeed that the Founders had the foresight to make free speech the First Amendment. This has given us a lot of protection to say what we want. But has the Beast acknowledged this and rolled over and played dead as far as speech is concerned? Not hardly?

The Constitution was the weapon that inflicted the deadly wound on the Beast but the scripture predicted this deadly wound would be healed making the Beast alive and well. Alive and well he indeed is and attacks free speech at every opportunity.

“How is he attacking free speech?” asks one. “Can I not go on a street corner and proclaim my disagreement with the President or any other leader?”

Yes, you can legally disagree with authorities but that is where it ends. There are quite a number of ways free speech is curtailed.

First, there legitimate limitation. This is speech that can cause real damage such as the famous example of yelling fire in a crowded theater. If one slanders another person he can be sued in a court of law. If a government employee gives out top secret information he may be prosecuted and lying in a court of law is illegal.

Unfortunately, these legitimate limitations give those who wish to control others an excuse to work toward expanding on them. Those working for the Beast are doing everything in their power to make what they consider hate speech illegal.

In most cases hate speech is merely speech that pawns of the Beast hate and despise. They hate much of what is said on talk radio so they seek to pass laws regulating or limiting it. They hate common sense ideas that will bring greater freedom and wealth to individuals so they condemn them through the media. They hate the free market so they blame it for all our woes.

They hate the mention of God and spiritual principles so they seek to silence all such talk on property controlled by the Beast.

To suppress the masses the unjust authorities seek to tell us which words we can say and which ones we cannot. This is called politically correct speech. When these words were first demonized many laughed and thought these ideas would come to naught, but they underestimated the power of the Beast in the land of the free.

Those who saw nothing wrong with using the words handicapped, midget, crazy, bum and many others may not be arrested for saying them but could lose their job or be attacked and humiliated by offended associates

Speech criticizing political leaders has been curtailed in many cases by accusing the critics of racism even when nothing in the speech referred to race. It has been said that one is racist if he uses words such as lazy, fried chicken, ghetto, Chicago, apartments, welfare, illegal aliens, and other words when speaking of minorities.

Many of our professional workers have their speech curtailed. If a doctor advises alternative medicine, then he could lose his license. We had a family doctor who was barred from the local hospital because he disagreed with another doctor’s diagnosis.

Attorneys have to be very careful with their speech as well as any paid member of the clergy for fear of losing their job. Church members are often forced to speak only positive things about their leaders or suffer excommunication or rejection.

A book could be written on examples but the point is that the war against free speech is alive and well and it takes a strong individual to stand up to the forces arrayed against free expression.

Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat us. – justice William O. Douglas

The Root of Fear

The Root of Fear

A reader asks: A lot of born again and regular Christians believe that through God they will never have fear again hardly….or rarely. JJ, have you ever been scared before since becoming an initiate at the current level you are at?

Can high disciples still get scared and why?

JJ: All lives will have fear at one time or another, even God. After all, we are in the image of God as well as one with God. Therefore, our fears are a part of the life of God.

DK wrote that “Fear has its roots in the warp and woof of matter itself.” Since the matter of the universe is the physical body of God this means that God Itself has fear woven in the fabric of his body.

Joseph Smith made this interesting statement; “What did Jesus do? Why I do the things I saw my Father do when worlds came rolling into existence. My Father worked out his kingdom with fear and trembling, and I must do the same; and when I get my kingdom, I shall present it to my Father, so that he may obtain kingdom upon kingdom, and it will exalt him in glory. He will then take a higher exaltation, and i will take his place, and thereby become exalted myself.” Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith; Pages 347-8

The apostle Paul said: “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” Phil 2:12

The main thing that causes fear is an approach to the unknown with the possibility of loss. If you are in a battle for your life there is a possibility of loss and the outcome is unknown.

When God created the universe he did not know of all the problems he would encounter and this fear became embedded in the fabric of the universe.

Reader: “Fear is fear because it is related to illusionary beliefs.

JJ: Where do you get the idea that fear is based on illusionary beliefs? Are we to accept this just because you or someone else says so?

Reader: “If it were not based on illusionary beliefs what would it be based on? Truth, true belief or true knowledge?”

JJ: I may be the first to tell you this but yes, fear is based on truth. Everything that happens is from a cause that is true- at least as long as we live in this reality. How one reacts to truth perceived determines the fear.

Let me give an example. Let us suppose that you are living a very positive life and the thought of any type of fear is the farthest thing from your mind as you are enjoying a ride in the country with your wife and kids. As you descend down a mountainous range, you feel quite secure for you have traveled it many times; but this time is different. This time your brakes go out. You press the pedal several times and nothing happens as you speed around corners barely managing to evade running off the edge, which would surely end the lives of you and your family. Because you have traveled this road many times, you know things will only get worse because the incline just increases. You make a calculation that tells you that the chances are very great that you and your family are going to be greatly injured or die.

This “truth” brings numerous fears to your mind.

As we said previously, fear always involves a loss of some type and the possible loss here is very real. The fears in this situation revolve around the following losses:

[1] Loss of your own life [2] Loss of your family’s lives. [3] Loss of opportunity for your kids to grow up and face the challenges of life. [4] Loss of an earthly relationship with your family.

Numerous other losses could be cited here, but the point is that all theses fears, revolving around loss, are based on a very probable truth.

Now even if a miracle happens, and you regain control, this does not mean your fear was based on illusion. At the time that you were descending without brakes, it was indeed true that you had a high probability of disaster. The only thing that averted it was the fact that your fear did not let you accept such a fate and you did all in your power to change the future.

Even a fear within a dream is based on some truth. I used to dream on a regular basis of this grotesque monster in various forms that chased me. It often pursued me for some time and sometimes caught me at some dead end and, as it approached me, I experienced great fear and usually woke up about that point.

Now one may object here and say “That was just a dream and not reality so your fear there was based on illusion.”

Not so my friend for it is indeed true that I was having a dream and that within the dream I was perceiving a monster and there was a real possibility of loss.

What were the possible losses involved?

[1] I was enjoying most of the dream and the monster threatened the loss of an enjoyable dream experience that I wanted to savor.

[2] Loss of sleep. I didn’t want to wake up and have to struggle getting back to sleep.

Then one night when I was having the dream something different happened. The monster had me cornered and there was no place to run. I was to either die within the dream, never a pleasant experience, or figure a way out. I looked up at the monster and he was ferocious indeed. He was about twenty feet tall and mean as hell and appeared ready to devour me in about three seconds.

As I contemplated, the thought of fighting back occurred to me for the first time. But I had difficulty in accepting it, for the monster looked a hundred times stronger than me. When I realized that I was faced with the choice of fighting or doing nothing, I decided to go out fighting and I attacked the monster. To my surprise I saw fear in the monsters eyes when I attacked. This gave me courage and I continued and when I pressed forward I discovered to my joy that I was much stronger than the monster. I then proceeded to give him a good beating and finally picked him up with super human strength and threw him off into oblivion.

Just as the monster caused a fear in the dream state, just as real as a fear in the awake state, even so did I feel a joy at overcoming the monster that was just as real as anything while awake. In fact I felt great for about three days after the dream.

The reason I talk here about truth within dreams, is that I’m sure you are going to tell us that life in these dualities is not real, therefore, all fear is based on perception within the dualities which are not real.

Whereas the real truth is that whether we be in the illusion of physical duality, or a dream state, it is indeed true that our consciousness is there and the perceptions we have there create a real experience. Even though the monster did not exist in this higher reality, the experience of the monster was real and this made the fear real.

If you lose your brakes going down a steep incline, it does little good to tell yourself, “this is not the true reality.” It is a true reality that you are in the experience and if you do not make the best of it you will suffer loss.

Listen to what a Master of Wisdom has to say about fear: “You ask: What are the basic causes of fear? To that question, if carried far enough back into the esoteric history of the solar system, there is no intelligible answer to be given. Only the advanced initiate can comprehend. Fear has its roots in the warp and woof of matter itself, and is par excellence, a formulation or effect of the mind principle, and a result of mental activity. The fact that birds and animals know fear puts the whole subject upon a wider footing than if it were simply a human failing and the result of the activity of the functioning of the human mind. It is not incident upon a man’s possessing a reasoning mind; if he used his reason in the correct way, he could eliminate fear. It lies in what is called “cosmic Evil”, a high sounding phrase conveying little. It is inherent in the fact of matter itself and in the play of the pairs of opposites-soul and matter.” A Treatise on White Magic, Pg 298

In harmony with this Joseph Smith made the interesting statement that “God created the worlds with fear and trembling.” This would explain why “fear has its roots in the warp and woof of matter itself.”

Now some have said that all fear is caused by a lack of love, but such is not the case. In the example of the fear generated by the failing brakes, the intensity of it was increased because of love for wife and children.

Fear is overcome through using the mind to calculate the best possible moves to eliminate the perceived future loss. For instance, in my dream I mentally calculated that the only possible way out was to fight and this eliminated the fear. I did not overcome the fear of the monster by loving it, but by defeating it.

It is true that many have fears are not justified because of wrong perception. For instance, one may fear that his spouse is cheating on him because of misperception or a wild imagination, but when he has attained correct use of the mind, then his perception will be accurate. When perception and calculation are accurate then fear will be based on the real as in the example of the loss of the brakes.

This portrayal of fear by many teachers of the day, as a thing held only by the deluded, the unloving, the unevolved or the ignorant, has led many into great illusion. Because many seekers have swallowed this pleasant sounding doctrine without processing it through the mind they enter into a world of deception and denial.

When a fear surfaces, instead of facing and defeating it, they generate a “fear of fear” and they will think something like this:

“This fear is not real so I cannot be experiencing it. Only the lesser evolved and the unloving have fear and since I am evolved and loving I cannot be experiencing it. Therefore, I deny this fear.”

Thus the seeker deceives himself rather than facing the fear and transcending it. That fear which is denied or suppressed does not go away. Instead it foments and grows and when it resurfaces it will loom greater than it was at the moment of burial.

The Now is the time to face and overcome and join in the company of the Great Ones.

Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage. – Robert Louis Stevenson

Neutralizing Negative Forces

Neutralizing Negative Forces

I mentioned the importance of not talking about the negative forces but this must be used with judgment. It is a good thing that a certain member shared her problems with us as she was at her wits end and had to reach out for help.

A mistake that those experiencing a negative attack often make, however, is because it is so consuming to their attention, they talk about it a lot to whoever will listen. Because energy follows thought this focus of thought creates a channel for the negativity to flow with greater and greater strength. So, yes, share your problem with those who may be able to help but do not share with those who cannot help unless prompted by your soul.

The principle of energy following thought is illustrated in a story I heard in my younger days in the mission field. In one district there were a couple elders who began experiencing attacks from what seemed to be evil spirits. After this occurred, they began sharing their experiences with various members of the church and other missionaries in the district. Pretty soon the attacks and phenomenon seemed to spread like a virus. Other missionaries and members soon had similar trouble. After a time all anyone could talk about were the evil spirits and the scary things they were doing.

Finally, it got so bad that it drew the attention of the mission president. He contacted the missionaries and wisely told them to cease talking about the evil spirits. He told them not to talk about them in meetings, with members or other missionaries. They obeyed and a few weeks later all attacks of the evil spirits subsided and it became as if they did not exist.

The mission president probably had never been taught the principle of energy following thought but he had the correct intuition in following it.

Another thing that can be the cause of negative attacks is guilt. Unresolved guilt can keep the door to negativity open even if you try not to talk or think about the attacks.

There are two things that must be done to resolve guilt. First resolve the problem with the person you may have hurt. If this does not apply then confess your guilt to someone you respect. This principle of confession is used in some churches and it does offer relief.

The nail in the coffin must be struck by identifying the source of guilt. Guilt is caused by allowing some mortal to take the place of the God Within. Release this outside source from having power over you and follow the inner Holy Spirit instead. The inner Spirit does not use guilt to control you but supplies guidance instead.

Reader comment: Seemingly “negative” things happen to everyone and one’s imagination, guilt, and/or desire to be special can make such occurrences seem more personal than they warrant.

JJ: Very true. Many people take negative things that happen to them and attribute then to demons, Satan or dark brothers for the reasons you gave and more.

Indeed, some people go through sequences of bad luck, and because they feel they are special beings they may feel that they are targeted by the devil himself when in reality no one of significance whether he be good or evil is paying much attention to them.

Reader: I have not experienced ANY “supernatural attacks” that I am aware of, nor I suspect have most other keysters.

JJ: I think you are correct here. Real attacks are not that common. I have not met many who have given an accurate description of a supernatural attack. Now if we are talking about some type of supernatural experience, good, bad and neutral the percentage is much higher. I would guess that the majority here has had something occur which has been otherworldly.

Reader: I’m just saying REAL attacks are uncommon and rare, thinking you MUST BE under attack [but PROBABLY are not] is most likely/commonplace.

JJ: You are correct if you are referring to real attacks by the Dark Brothers toward some individual. The Dark Brothers do attack but they use key people in positions of power to manipulate the people toward their desired ends. All the steps that have been taken recently to reduce our freedoms are part of an assault by them.

On the other hand, many seekers have to deal with some type of influence coming from their Dweller. This can range from fear, guilt or just moving forward – to negativity of tremendous force that can be very nerve wracking to deal with.

The Dweller can be aroused by too much thought directed toward the negative or some type of positive action that may threaten to reduce his power.

One like yourself who has not had a definite supernatural attack may wonder if you are not significant in the work because no one has attacked you. The answer is that this should not concern you. Each seeker has a different cross to bear and different lessons to learn. No two initiates, disciples or aspirants have the same things happen to them but your soul has planned your life in such a way that your learning will have a maximum curve should you follow the lesson plan.

The most dangerous untruths are truths moderately distorted. – Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

Manipulation, Forces and Free Will

Manipulation, Forces and Free Will

Question: So, even though every experience may NOT necessarily be “part of the plan”, nothing ever happens to us that isn’t either 1] a direct result of our past actions/decisions, or 2] a design of our soul [or both]. Correct?

JJ: Close, but not quite. To be technically correct we need to take out the word “our” and just word your first statement thus: “nothing ever happens to us that isn’t either 1] a direct result of past actions/decisions.”

The individual does have some things happen to him that may not be the result of his past actions and decisions but is the result of the past actions of the group to which he belongs. For instance, when a nation becomes involved in a war both good and bad people are affected. Many did nothing to get it started but still may suffer from it.

We are all part of a greater body. Take a look at your body. Perhaps your head wants to go on a roller coaster ride and makes that decision. During the ride the stomach becomes upset and thinks, “I didn’t ask for this.” Once the body decides then all parts are affected. Even so, we are all parts of a greater body.

Question: Could you talk a little more about these “subtle forces”, maybe give some examples of what might constitute such a “collision of subtle forces”?

JJ: These forces are caused by a number of things. For the individual it may be problems going on in his life.

Let us say that Ben has been living a carefree life when suddenly he discovers his wife is having an affair and on top of that he may lose his job. This creates a stream of emotional energy that distracts him and makes an accident much more likely.

On the other hand, distractions leading to accidents can come from more subtle things.

Let us say that Jim’s son is being bullied at school and is depressed but acts like everything in his life is fine. As Jim is driving home his subtle body picks up the negative vibe from his son. He does not register the negative energy enough to consciously understand it, but it does have the effect of distracting his attention and making him more accident prone.

In addition, the distractive negative energy may be coming from a number of different sources.

If one feels such subtle negative energies it is important that he be very careful when driving or in any circumstances where an accident is possible. When I feel such energies I say to myself: “You do not need to have an accident today.”

Question: Is manipulation infringement on the free will or not?

Good question. In other words, if you manipulate circumstances so the outcome changes have you infringed on free will? For instance, suppose both you and Bob are up for a promotion and Bob is more qualified. Then you spread an ugly and untrue rumor about him that causes the boss to promote you instead. Have you infringed on Bob’s free will?

The answer is no. The fact is that manipulation changes circumstances and circumstances change for us almost on an hourly basis. There are dozens of things happen to each of us every day that change or manipulate our circumstances.

Even if you take out the trash you are changing the circumstances so no one else in he family is faced with the decision to take it out. If you kiss your spouse you affect his or her circumstances so now she does not decide to initiate the affections because you did it first.

Manipulation by itself is neither good or bad, positive or negative. It is neutral like money and can be used to create a good and or bad depending on the intent and the luck of the initiator.

Instead of taking away free will manipulation increases it because each manipulation presents the one manipulated with additional choices.

Let me give a couple examples.

Brad drives ten boring miles to work everyday. During the drive he is almost in a trance and nothing much happens. The drive is the same every day.

One evening a couple kids siphon most of the gas out of his car. They think it’s funny that Brad will run out of gas on the way to work. Sure enough after about five miles he does run out of gas. Because of this he has to exercise more free will than normal and make some extra decisions. Should he call his wife for help, the AAA or walk to a nearby gas station? He decides to walk to a gas station and a sexy blond sees him and offers him a ride. They hit it off and she invites him to lunch. Now, instead of a boring ride to work all kinds of decisions confront his free will.

The kids thought it was funny that they were manipulating Brad’s circumstances, but they did not alter his free will. Instead, they provided him with additional choices.

If standard manipulation does not take away free will then what does? What does take away free will is an act that attempts to take away the power of decision in a certain area. This is normally accomplished through a government or some authority figure.

Let us suppose you lived in a country where the punishment was death if you even disagreed with your dear leader. Would this interfere with your power of decision to write a letter to the editor stating what you really think?

Yes, in this case free will is restricted and fewer decisions are made.

Let us suppose the fine was $5 if you were caught not having a seat belt. Would this interfere with free will? Only slightly because you could afford to pay $5. But suppose the fine was $1000. Would this interfere?

Yes, even I would buckle up whether I wanted to or not if the fine was that great.

Suppose you were a member of a cult with a prophet leader who you believe speaks for God. He tells you that God wants him to sleep with your wife. You do not want to allow this but feel forced into it because you think it is God’s will. The prophet is using your belief system to restrict your power of choice.

People have boundaries, which, when crossed, will yield their free will. Those who push the people through these boundaries are agents in limiting free will.

Forever is a long time, but not as long as it was yesterday. –  Dennis H’Orgnies

Free Will and Work

Free Will and Work

I previously presented these questions: Does working at a job that is not our first choice take away from free will? If so, then who is to blame for this situation? Was someone else beside yourself supposed to supply you with a job opportunity that makes you happy?

Some may buy into the idea that the drudgery of working at a job that is not your first choice takes away free will but such is not the case. What they do not understand is there is a difference between natural limitation in which all life forms find themselves and free will or a lack thereof.

Allow me to give examples of both.

Natural limitation: Example One: Johnny is a seven-year-old kid and is frustrated that he cannot run as fast as his older brother. His lack of equality here is not caused by anyone taking away his free will but a natural limitation. He can however use his free will to exercise regularly to increase his running speed.

Interfering with free will: Example One: Big brother ties Johnny up so he can’t run anywhere.

Natural limitations: Example Two: Bob and Ken are climbing a mountain. Ken gets to the top but Bob runs out of steam before he reaches it. “I can’t go on,” he says and climbs back down and misses the great view. Both have equal free will but Bob has greater limitation because of natural unequal strength and determination.

Interfering with free will: Example Two: Ken gets to the top and then prevents Bob from getting there by pushing him back down every time he attempts the final ascent.

Natural limitations: Example Three: John’s a good-looking guy and can have any girl he wants. Alonzo is not so good-looking and socially awkward. No one wants to go out with him. Is lack of free will holding him back? No, he is suffering from natural limitations.

Interfering with free will: Example Three: John tells all the girls he knows to not date Alonzo because he is creepy and insane which is a lie. Alonzo is a nice guy.

Natural limitations: Example Four: Julia is a naturally talented singer and has always dreamed of singing in a nightclub. After years of cultivating her talent, she finally gets her break working for a popular club and loves her job.

Kathy also dreams of singing in a nightclub but doesn’t have a good natural voice. The best job she can find is as a waitress in the nightclub and hates her job. Every time she sees Julia singing away enjoying herself she thinks, “That could be me!”

Is Kathy suffering from someone taking away her free will? No. She is dealing with a natural limitation.

Interfering with free will: Example Four: Kathy is so jealous that she kidnaps Julia so she cannot appear for her next performance. This definitely interferes with Julia’s free will.

All life forms, even God, the One Great Life, find themselves with limitations in this universe. This does not mean that anyone is taking away your free will. On the other hand, the main purpose of free will is to remove limitations. Johnny can increase his running speed through exercise. Bob can some strength training so he can climb the next mountain. Alonzo can get advice on improving his appearance and social skills. Kathy can take singing lessons or maybe develop a natural talent she has in another area.

No supernatural being is going to come down, wave a magic wand, and remove all of anyone’s limitations. For one thing even supernatural beings have their own set or limitations, but they do not see them as something that takes away their free will.

Man is that he might have joy and joy comes through applying ourselves and removing our limitations. If someone does this for us then the source of our joy is diminished. When we apply ourselves and make progress by removing limitations then the bird of joy encircles us always, worlds without end.

Reader: When one says the song of the 144,000 and imagine the light going to all who say this song is it ok to send the light to my Mom and imagine her when saying the song as she does not say the song as I do. I have tried to get her to say it. I read that one can send the light only to those that say it.

JJ: Like the Song says “Wherever I will the light to descend.” I wouldn’t visualize her in the circle of those saying it since she does not, but visualize the light descending on her would be fine.

Reader: I am wondering what the definition of “natural limitation” refers to?

Is the limitation caused through the laws of nature?

JJ: There’s no mystery here. They are just the limitations of the circumstances in which one finds himself.

Reader: For example, an alcoholic pregnant woman who drinks throughout her pregnancy has unnaturally affected the fetus with a toxic substance, and hence has tampered with the laws of nature, so that the baby is born with limitations of the physical body, emotional body or mental body or all 3.

Or are natural limitations created by the Soul for karmic reasons?

JJ: Everything has a reason. Our current circumstances are the result of all of our past and the soul arranges part of them.

Reader: Also what role do particular Rays play in natural limitations?

JJ Similar to different sets of clothes you may choose to wear.

Reader: love, Love, LOVE!!! this concept but there seems to be something wrong with your sentence structure – or at any rate my understanding of it.

So do you mean: SOME or most of our current circumstances are the result of our past [experiences, decisions, etc] and all the rest of our circumstances/experiences are designed/arranged by our souls?

So then, TRUE “accidents” – in which one experiences something NOT the effect of either our past and NOT designed by the soul – either do not happen [period] or would be so RARE as to be virtually non-existent. Is that right?

JJ: All current circumstances in our lives and all creation and activity in the universe is the result of past activity and decisions made.

Some are much more obvious than others. If you shoot at a bulls eye and hit it then the result is obviously the result of your intention and action.

On the other hand, if someone bumps you in the middle of a shot and you hit a passing dog then this result is not so obvious. Even so, it is still the result of the past, but more subtle things are involved.

All accidents are the result of one of three categories.

[1] Something planned by an intelligent force. For instance, I believe that the accident I had at age 13 that changed the course of my life was planned by my soul.

Then there are planned accidents less benevolent such as the evil husband disabling the brakes on his wife’s car.

[2] Carelessness. If I stub my toe this is merely an unplanned careless event not planned by intelligence but still the result of past activity.

[3] Collisions of subtle forces. DK talks about this. When Susan injured her foot as discussed in the recent gathering audio she suffered a collision of forces moving in her life. A sensitive person can sense when such a collision is about to take place. If he does he can take pains to be extra careful and avoid an accident.

In the end, it is important to realize that some accidents are a part of a plan and others are not and could have been avoided. Even so, they are still the result of past activity and decisions set in motion.

There is a time to let things happen and a time to make things happen. – Hugh Prather

Spiritual Gifts

Spiritual Gifts

Question: How much correlation is there between the so-called spiritual gifts that a person possesses or can demonstrate, and the purity of their motives, actions, and/or beliefs?

JJ: The first thing to realize here is that many gifts claimed by the various gurus are based on illusion and not even real. Many who claim to heal are merely good hypnotists and the subject receives only temporary relief through the power of suggestion.

Many other so called signs ad wonders are brought about by hypnotic techniques. For example, a few years ago there were several local gurus who claimed to have the ability to call down spaceships and communicate with the officers on board. I was curious about this so I decided to attend one of these sessions. The group was full of believers who fully expected to see a spaceship. As the process began one of the group pointed to a bright object in the sky and called out – “I see a ship right there!”

I looked up to see what it was and offered a correction. “That’s not a spaceship. That’s the planet Venus.”

“Oh,” she said, sounding disappointed.

My bringing the lady back to realty seemed to break the spell of the group and that night no spaceship was seen and no contact made. I was never invited to join them again.

On the other hand, there are a few possessing real gifts of some kind. Does this mean we should then trust that which they teach?

No. A thousand times no. The true seeker must always run teachings of any kind past his soul before he accepts them. If he can’t get soul confirmation then he must at least run then by his logical mind and use his common sense.

So how does one who is in illusion develop what seems to be spiritual gifts?

The answer is simple. Energy follows thought. If a person, good or bad, puts a lot of attention [energy] on developing a skill then a certain amount of proficiency will be attained.

Even so, we have not seen in our age a person who can manifest the gifts that Jesus had 2000 years ago. If you see someone truly walk on water then he obviously has some knowledge about how that is accomplished and it would probably be worthwhile to ask him some questions. On the other hand, if he tells you to give him all your money or you are going to hell then do not walk away, but run.

Re: Free Will and Work

A supporter of the misled teacher mentioned in my previous post tries to set me straight saying:  “Righteous dictatorship is not a righteous tyranny as we might stereotypically think. Righteous dictators are very wise and knowledgeable advanced government, several notches above us in their spiritual development, unlike the politicians of today. Righteous dictators which would decree some things without asking you and provide these things without forcing. The first thing they will do is to provide basic food, shelter, education and medical help/healing for every one free.”

JJ: First of all there is no such thing as a “righteous dictatorship” where the dear leader must be followed without question or consultation. Whenever free will is relinquished to a dictator, civilization and progress suffers.

Even if these supposed advanced humans came and supplied all our needs what good would it do? We would become lazy and slothful after a while. Struggle builds character and keeps us from devolving.

The fact that advanced beings are coming here to supply all our needs so we don’t have to work is pure fantasy in my opinion. But let us suppose they did come for that purpose. How will they get the food to feed the whole world? Are they just going to snap their fingers or are they going to dictate to us the work we need to do to make it happen?

Reader: Then everyone will have their own free choice either to continue to pay medical insurance or not, go to work or not, etc., he-he.

Will capitalism survive under such a dictatorial regime?

JJ: Yes, capitalism always suffers under dictators. Look at North Korea. No one is buying condos there.

Pol Pot did away with money in Cambodia and no one bought anything and peopled starved to death.

Reader: Our system will collapse without a single drop of blood shed, since money — this horrible tool of exploitation — will be rendered useless by the dictators. Not a single bit of property will be expropriated from the rich as Russian communists did in 1917. Not a single cent on the bank accounts will be touched.

JJ This is a communist dictators dream. Eventually we will move to a society that will not need money but it will not be accomplished by taking away free will but by using free will.

Reader: Every type of work can either be performed by the Earthlings or by the ETs with their robots and technology. Every one of us will have a choice either to do a certain work or leave it to the “dictators” with their robots.

JJ: You are going astray from the writings of your teacher for he doesn’t believe in ET’s. Here is what he said:

WE ARE ALONE IN THIS PRESENT UNIVERSE. THERE ARE NO OTHER HUMAN BEINGS IN THIS PRESENT UNIVERSE THAT WE PERCEIVE THROUGH OUR SENSES WHILE GOING THROUGH THIS MORTAL EXPERIENCE UPON THIS EARTH. We can create a telescope as large as we want. We can come up with all kinds of theories. We can travel to the ends of the Universe, as we perceive it, but we will never encounter another human being in the present Universe that we perceive as mortal humans … ABSOLUTELY NEVER.

The only thing close to ET’s he believes in are immortal beings – not other beings like ourselves.

Overall, I think you were unjust in accusing me of misrepresenting his teachings. I think that what I wrote about them was quite accurate and the quotes I supplied verified that.

Science has made us gods even before we are worthy of being men. – Jean Rostand

Dangerous Teachings

Dangerous Teachings

I’ve been following a discussion about false teachers and prophets and the question came up about the danger posed by their false teachings. In other words, which teachings are dangerous and which are not and how dangerous are the various false teachings?

I thought this would be a good topic for discussion so I’ll make a few comments.

The first thing that needs to be clarified is this. The greatest danger of any teaching, true or false, lies not with the teacher, but the student. If the student has a high degree of soul contact then it matters not how false or crazy are the teachings presented. He will see the illusion and not incorporate that which does not register with the soul.

Therefore, if the teacher says the Jews are the spawn of Satan and must be eliminated, he will not act upon such nonsense.

If another teacher says we are all brothers and one race is as worthy of love and respect as another then such a teaching will be registered in a positive light.

On the other hand, the student who is governed by lower emotions rather than the soul is a precarious animal. To such a person even the teachings of Jesus are dangerous. He may read Jesus saying that “if thy right eye offend thee then cut it out” and take this literally and either cut his eye out or maybe someone else he thinks deserves it.

He may read about Jesus overturning the tables of the moneychangers in the temple and decide his local bank needs taught a similar lesson and places a bomb there.

In other words, the words and works of even the greatest who has appeared among us are not safe fomenting in the mind of an idiot, but the most delusional of teachings are harmless when passing by the mind of the true disciple.

Does this mean that a teacher can give out all kinds of false teachings and no harm will be done? Or how about a true teacher? Can he just blurt out any teaching he wants without being careful of the content or wording and remain harmless?

The answer is that in both cases harm can be created. Both true and false teachers must keep in mind that there are only a handful of people with a high degree of soul contact. Fortunately, a lot of people not sensitive to the soul have pretty good common sense to assist them. But there are quite a few out there who do not check with their souls nor do they use much common sense. These people will take teachings both true and false and distort them to fit their mindset. In addition to this many false teachers prey upon these people and use their distorted view of reality to control them toward their own ends.

The true teacher must always take these deluded ones into consideration and give his words out with as much clarity as possible. In fact, even Jesus may have rephrased his statement about plucking out the eyes if he had given the idea a little more thought.

DK makes the additional point that there are many things that are true which are concealed and not given out because they could be dangerous in the wrong hands. For instance, there are some mantras that can control the elementals that are closely guarded by the hierarchy.

Another point to realize is that a teacher who is in the light is not infallible and may have some error in his teachings. Then the teacher whose home is the land of shadows will teach a number of things which are true.

Perhaps the most important question that any seeker must ask as he examines a teacher is this. What is the teacher’s motive? Does he seek to deceive and take away my freedom and take on the role of the beast of authority so my freedom is diminished? Or does he [or she] tell the truth to the best of his ability, and not take the place of your inner god but encourage freedom of choice in all things?

I’ve already tabulated many of the ingredients that differentiate the true and false teachings so I won’t repeat myself but keep in mind that freedom is the main principle to look for. The false teacher will take it away by either obvious or subtle means whereas the true teacher seeks to amplify it in all he meets.

Speaking of false teachers one that is getting some attention talks about the time he has set for the Second Coming which is 2145 AD. On the date he says that Christ and his “Overseers” will come and set up a “fair” government and force humankind to abandon their bad governments in favor of good government ran by those who know how do get things done much better than ourselves. He maintains that the Overseers are upset that the rich are not relieved of their surplus and share with the poor so their needs will be taken care of. If we do not do this of our free will then we will be forced to do it in some type of communist system.

Now he’s gone a step further in discovering what upsets the Overseers. They do not like the idea that we do not have enough free will. This seems like an odd thing to upset them when you consider that in 2145 they seem to plan to take away free will in order to make sure we are forced to share our goods whether we want to or not.

They are so upset that there is not enough free will that they are considering moving ahead their time frame for domination from 2145 to 2070. He says that this violation of free will is so great that even John the Revelator is taken by surprise by it. If he had factored it in 2000 years ago the Book of Revelations would have been written differently.

Who knew?

So, what is this great violation of free will that he is talking about?

Is it the various tyrants that surface again and again seeking to control every aspect of human behavior/

No. That doesn’t seem to bother the Overseers. Even North Korea seems to get a pass.

Is it the criminals who “hurt and make afraid?” Doesn’t seem to be them. He often portrays criminals as innocent victims of the evil system. Even of Adam Lanza he said he was trying to do a good deed in shooting the 20 children. He was merely benevolently attempting to save them from the same pain he had suffered. I wonder why it took as many as seven bullets to the head to do that.

Is it the governments of the earth that tax us almost into poverty taking away the free will to spend our own money as we see fit?

No. He seems to have no problem with lots of taxes forced upon us.

Is he upset that the freedoms secured by us in the Constitution are being eroded creating a threat to many of our freedoms?

Not at all. He thinks the United States is the Beast bearing the mark of 666 and the founders were the rich selfishly seeking to secure their wealth by breaking off with Big Brother King George.

So, what is this great infringement of free will that bothers him so that the end time is moved ahead just to deal with it?

Brace yourself. It’s not what you think.

The big infringement is that all but a few of us have to work for the sake of money at a job that is not our first choice for enjoyment. He points out that a successful musician or an actor may really enjoy his work but the rest of us that have to go to an office, factory or whatever to do work that is not fun do not have much free will. He says this is a dreadful situation that restricts free will. What we need he says is “unconditional free will,” which apparently our leaders and bosses are robbing us of. Because most of us cannot do fun stuff to make money the coming forth of the Overlords may be moved up 75 years earlier than anticipated. They will then make sure that everyone has a job that is fun to do thus ensuring we all have free will.

I’m going to give my thoughts on this subject shortly, but in the meantime, this is an interesting subject to contemplate.

Indeed, it would be great if we could all work at a job we enjoy, but even in this age of incomplete enlightenment, one is free to quit his job and seek another that is more satisfying.

(Note from 2026: According to Elon Musk we will not have to wait until 2070 to work at jobs we enjoy. He thinks robotics and AI will take care of all tedious labor in another five to ten years.)

If we live good lives, the times are also good. As we are, such are the times. – St. Augustine

The Road Ahead

The Road Ahead

(Note: This was an interesting take on the state of things back in 2013. At the time many were concerned about a possible economic collapse. Unfortunately, that concern continues to this day)

The group is indeed interested in knowing the economical future of the United States and the world so they can prepare for things to come. Not only are seekers such as ourselves very interested in this but a large portion of the world is. We live in unstable times and people are concerned and just wish they knew what to do.

I have said many times that the exact future is not written in stone and cannot be predicted by anyone, even the masters. Certain cycles though can be seen and predicted fairly accurately. Some cycles can be predicted with exactness and others with only ball park accuracy. For instance, we can pinpoint the rising and setting of the sun from any location on the earth for centuries to come. On the other hand, we can accurately predict that spring will come soon but we cannot predict the day that fruit trees will put forth their first buds and make it official.

Predicting the economy is a little like predicting the seasons and the weather. We know we are going to have sunny and cloudy days, stormy and clam, but exactly when they will occur is still far from and exact science because of the many variables.

On the other hand, there are signs we can take into consideration in order to prepare. If we see dark clouds ahead there is a good chance that a storm will be coming our way soon. It is not a sure thing for maybe the dark clouds will shift in direction or become dispersed.

Now let us look at the economic signs we have in front of us. We have recently gone through an economic crash [2008] caused by extreme recklessness. The problems that created this has been tackled on a haphazard basis and most of them are far from fixed. In addition to this, we have a deficit spending problem, the full effects of which has not yet materialized.

This deficit spending and massive borrowing presents a possible outcome that could be worse than the Great Depression. Unless there is a massive course correction the question is not “If” disaster is ahead, but “When” it should come.

In looking at the future there is an important point to take into consideration that no economist brings up. Obama is a person blessed with extremely good luck.

When he ran for the Senate his win was a long shot. He was running against an extremely popular and good-looking Jack Ryan who was married to the beautiful Seven of Nine Character from Star Trek. Then a sex scandal was unearthed and Ryan was replaced with a very poor candidate causing Obama to win. Then when he ran for President the polls showed McCain ahead weeks before the election. Then the financial meltdown occurred and the blame was placed on McCain and his fellow Republicans. Obama rose in the polls and won.

In the 2012 campaign against Romney the polls showed Romney ahead by 4-6 points. Then Hurricane Sandy occurred and all we saw in the media was Obama looking presidential handling the crisis. Romney was nowhere to be seen for about a week before the election. Again Obama rose in the polls and won.

During the last four years Obama has made a tremendous number of bad economical decisions. One of the worst was his war on oil drilling and natural gas. In spite of this, new technology has greatly increased production on private land. This has caused a reduction in imports that Obama took credit for. One economist is predicting that despite Obama’s lack of support for drilling that we will have an oil and gas boom. This, he says, will stimulate the economy and Obama will take full credit and be seen as the savior of the economy. This would be strange indeed if this happened.

Taking everything into consideration I will not make specific predictions but will give probabilities as I see them.

The probability of having a collapse of the dollar and the economy in the next ten years – 80%

The probability of it happening during the Obama administration – 50%. He’s human, subject to karma, so his luck could run out.

The probability that a collapse would be so bad that our government would break down for a time and there could be chaos – 25%

The probability that it would be bad like the Great Depression but the country would hold together and work things out – 55%.

A couple years ago, for the first time I recommended that we do our best to prepare for hard times ahead by storing up some food and emergency supplies. I have found that a number of things I bought back then have risen 25% or so in price so even if disaster does not occur some storage is a good investment. You’ll make better interest on it than most investments.

I think there is a high probability the stock market has is close to a maximum and will make a major drop. It would be a good idea to move funds to gold and silver until the economy looks more stable.

Unfortunately, if there is a collapse none of us will be as prepared as we would want to be and if there is a total breakdown there is not yet a gathering of lights as a place of refuge. It is my hope and work that such a gathering will take place before such a breakdown occurs.

Perhaps the angels who fear to tread where fools rush in used to be fools who rushed in. – Franklin P. Jones
