RE: ARE WE NOW IN THE END TIMES?

10_1_136.gifHello Luis and Myrna

This is a difficult situation because I feel as Luis does. We can forgive people for the most henious of crimes, however if we forget what they had done and why they did it, will we be too late to stop the next group of crusaders for doing the same? For those of us that were born in the forties, we have seen a lot of crimes being waged against different races of people for different reasons. In the case of the holocaust, it was Hitler's intention to kill every Jew on Earth because they crucified Jesus. In the bible, it was mentioned in several passages that this crucifixtion was pre-destined. We are just now learning that the bible is not giving us the trues story (as I have mentioned right along.) I believe that it is right to forgive, however I don't believe that I shall ever forget what has happened in the past. My parent's were devout Catholics. When I was in my early teens I had a girlfriend by the name of Dorothy Lightman. She was beautiful and busty. I was working for my parents at the summer hamburgh stand at the time and Dorothy's parents had a summer cottage for the summer. One day, my mother spotted me walking on the beach with my arm around Dorothy. This was in the 50's, after World War II. She later told me that I could not see her anymore. When I asked why, she simply said that she was a Jew and I had to stay away from her. As I said, Dorothy was beautiful and busty. I invented all sorts of ways to meet up with her for the rest of the summer.

All that exists in the galaxies was created by GOD,and not one of us has the right to eliminate them from existence but GOD. As long as we are in this illusion state we will all have our own feelings about certain subjects and until we are giving the full bible and all that is good and bad in it, I will rely on my own judgement. In this case I feel that you are right in your conviction as is Luis. I do not believe that anyone should ever forget when an injustice has been committed, however we can forgive, as Jesus said on the Cross, "Forgive them father, as they know not what they do." He also proved that he was human when he uttered the words, "Oh, Lord, oh Lord, why have you foresaken me?"

Each of us gleen from the bible that which we want to hear and believe. It is time that we read even those passages that don't sound so good to us as well. I will be taken this out of context however, GOD is slow to anger, but when angered Vengeange is mine, saith the LORD.

Yes, always forgive, but never forget. How can you forget when innocent women and children are slain because they are the wrong color, the wrong religious belief, or they live in the wrong area of the world? more important, why do we judge a whole race of people because of the actions of a few? It is more important to me to judge the feelings in my own heart rather than judge others. I will end this for now, because this subject becomes too emotional for me. When we transform, perhaps we will have a colder heart than we now have, but for now I pray for the millions of needless deaths of innocent people that have taken place over the years while we forgave those that took their lives and we forgot that it ever happened. Perhaps if our rivers began to flow crimson with the blood of the innocent, perhaps then we might begin to remember how great our human intelligence have been. Maybe then we may awaken from our slumber. Remember one important passage, What you do unto others, you do also unto me. How many times have we crucified our saviour?, and yet we say, I LOVE YOU LORD. What a Hell of a way to prove it.

GOD BLESS YOU

~Mike~

Hi Michael,

Forgiveness is the beginning of healing, learning to forgive you don't even want to see the nasty people hurt either. Because when we forgive we learn the real meaning of LOVE.

Nancy Detweiler: The Universal Law – We Reap What We Sow

http://p.feedblitz.com/t2.asp?/715643/313783/4204833/http://the2012scenario.com/2012/04/rev-nancy-detweiler-a-one-time-letter-to-ministers-of-all-religions/nancy-detweiler-5/Nancy Detweiler: The Universal Law – We Reap What We Sow

How Do We Get From Where We Are Today To Where We Want To Be Tomorrow?
By Nancy B. Detweiler - July 7, 2012
On this 7th day of July 2012, our planet hangs suspended between two worlds.
On one hand, we continue our 3rd dimensional way of life in which most must work to survive and take care of their families. For many, life is filled with a variety of stress factors. We yearn for more peaceful, carefree lives.
On the other hand, we are increasingly catching glimpses into the 5th dimensional world. This plane knows only unconditional love and peace. Those residing on the 5th dimension experience abundance and the freedom to develop their unique talents and skills in accordance with the Divine Plan for their lives. No negativity can exist on this plane.
We experience moments in this glorious 5th dimensional world through our dreams, prayer, meditations, paintings, music, inspirational writings, and videos that reveal sublime beauty. Now, the inhabitants of Earth have the opportunity to ascend to this 5th dimension.
Gaia, the great being whose physical body we call Earth, has called out to Father/Mother God, the Energetic Source of all creation, to allow her to cease being a prison planet, quarantined from the rest of our galactic family. Gaia’s prayer was heard and she will ascend to the 5th dimension. The Divine Plan also allows for all of Gaia’s inhabitants who desire to ascend do so with her. The unprecedented part of this Plan is that many Earth humans will ascend while still incarnated in physical bodies.
Because so much information has been withheld from humanity, the above paragraph may sound to many as if I have lost my mind. Up until this point in time, that is the exact impression those who control our world would have you think. Now, July 2012, it is time for all to become aware of coming events and the importance they hold for each one of us. What happens within the next six months and how each of us responds to those actions will determine whether or not we can ascend with Gaia.
If given the choice today to select between peace/love/abundance – and – to continue with the war/anger/deprivation that presently characterizes our world, the majority of Earth humans would gladly commit to the former. Who among us dreams of continuing life as we presently know it?
We stand at this crossroads today. For the remainder of 2012, Earth humans will be assisting in transforming our world. Those who choose to continue their negative behavior will be allowed to do so, but not on Gaia. As Gaia moves forward in our Milky Way Galaxy, negativity cannot move with her.
There are 3rd dimensional planets in the cosmos to which those who cling to their negative behavior will be attracted in accordance with another Universal Law Like Attracts Like. Movement to these 3rd dimensional planets will be a freewill choice and is not to be considered punishment.
A Father/Mother God of Unconditional Love does not punish anyone. Universal Laws are not applied to some and ignored or overridden with others. The Cosmos is very orderly—every sowing action results in a reaping action.[i] (See Endnote)
This is where the Universal Law We Reap What We Sow becomes extremely important. When we plant a tomato seed, we harvest a tomato—we reap what we sow. Reaping a tomato is what we expect. We do not question the law in relationship to planting our garden. We simply anticipate a harvest of tomatoes.
It is the same in our lives.
If we choose to react to life’s circumstances with anger, the desire for revenge, discrimination, and/or hatred, then those are the seeds we have planted. Our life’s garden of negative seeds will reap a matching harvest. At some point, we must choose to get off the merry-go-round and commit to planting seeds that yield a positive harvest—one that will allow us to ascend to the 5th dimension where suffering will no longer be a part of our lives.
In early childhood, we don’t give a second thought to the child’s need to learn to walk by falling down … getting up … trying again and again until she/he is successful. No one can learn to walk for us. It is the same with ascension. No one can do it for us, including the Great Teachers, even though religion may teach otherwise. Humanity will soon be given a major opportunity to determine how well we have learned to forgive rather than wanting to see those who have caused tremendous pain suffer likewise.
This opportunity will come through learning about the dark cabal families who have controlled our world for eons. In order to maintain control, countless heinous crimes have been perpetrated on humanity. These crimes against humanity are about to be revealed.
The dark cabal members have been given numerous chances to surrender … to voluntarily step down from their positions of control. Most have refused to do so. This means that they must be removed in order to pave the way for humanity to prepare for ascension. A part of their removal will be to disclose to the people all the crimes committed against us. In most cultures, the 3rd dimensional manner of response has traditionally been to demand retribution and punishment. To see the criminal punished has been considered a means of closure and healing for the victims.
We are in the midst of a planetary historical event—that of removing the dark cabal and their sinister plans for a New World Order. This removal will take a variety of forms. Some will likely be arrested in the 3rd dimensional manner. Others may be contained—a rare technique not used since the Galactic Wars that is in accordance with the 5th dimensional concept of unconditional love.[ii] Those whose crimes have been most atrocious may be taken off-planet and placed before a Galactic High Court. At the appropriate time in the very near future, humanity will be informed about the actions now taking place in secret. The Akashic Records will be consulted as proof of the crimes committed—proof that is irrefutable and can actually be viewed as the behavior initially took place.[iii]
This process of learning all the ways by which humanity has been controlled and made to suffer will present humanity’s greatest challenges—to listen and to forgive. Just as a life review follows each soul’s every incarnation, so—at this momentous point in time—must a life review of the 3rd dimensional plane of duality be made because Earth will shed her 3rd dimension and ascend into the 5th. This life review—the story of humanity’s manipulation and enslavement—will be planetary. All of Earth’s inhabitants will be given what could be termed a final exam on living in the 3rd dimension.
In order to successfully pass this final exam, we must show evidence that we have learned the lessons of forgiveness and now possess the capacity to hold all of humanity within the energy of Unconditional Love. This, in no way, means that we approve of egregious behavior. It does mean that we intend to cleanse our energy field of all negativity in order to ascend to the 5th dimension.
The Universal Law we reap what we sow reminds us that every individual reaps whatever he/she has sown. You and I are not responsible for ensuring that the dark cabal reaps what they have sown. Universal Law automatically unfolds within each human life. God does not punish and humanity need not attempt to punish. Every soul lives in the garden they have sown in accordance with Universal Law.
By the same token, each of us live in the garden we have sown. Ours is the freewill choice to plant the seeds of forgiveness and reap life on the 5th dimension – OR – to sow seeds of revenge and hatred, thereby reaping more time living elsewhere in the cosmos on the 3rd dimensional plane of duality.
How do we get from where we are today to where we want to be tomorrow?
Via successfully passing our final exam—extending forgiveness and unconditional love to our brothers and sisters in the dark cabal—regardless of their deplorable behavior.
By remembering that at some point in our history of numerous lives on the plane of duality, we, too, have committed acts that caused others to suffer. For in order for humanity to evolve through attending Earth’s Plane of Duality Schoolhouse, we all have agreed in one incarnation or another to play the role of the bad gal or guy. Initially, agreeing to play the role of bad gal or guy was done in love. We loved humanity, or a portion of humanity, enough to play a dark role that would assist our brothers and sisters in passing through the lessons of Earth’s Schoolhouse. The problem occurred when some got stuck in the negativity and came to prefer their positions of power and control—when they lost their way.
NOW, it is up to us to respond to the news of our enslavement in ways that will allow the perpetrators to gradually be restored to their former status as our beloved sisters and brothers within the ONE FAMILY OF GOD.

In the past, we only got the news after it happened, but since live journalism, TV cameras, and especially since the internet, we get a lot of news in real-time, EXCEPT for the places that don't have internet access. There are a lot of things happening RIGHT NOW in third-world countries, and we have no real-time coverage of it on film or on the internet.

If we were to seriously stay aware of REAL TIME...RIGHT NOW...and realize that terrible things are happening to people in the world, right now, this minute, in many places, and also remember that there are trucks and warehouses full of food just sitting there, being blocked and not delivered to starving people, we all have the right to be severely upset, saddened, and feel helpless. This world needs to change, and it will change dramatically if each person thinks of the entire world as one place where everything is happening THIS MINUTE, at the same minute we're typing and reading, people are being tortured, killed, starved, and we don't have any access to help them, and they have no access to gaining help.

When the world feels the urgency of REAL TIME and REAL PEOPLE, then things could start to change. Unfortunately, the people committing atrocities have no regard for the people around them.

One person's feelings, heart and soul, are the feelings, heart and soul of every person on this earth. Each person who is allowed to let starve while help is available somewhere, is the loss of heart of every person on this earth in REAL TIME, THIS MINUTE.

Dear friends Myrna, Mike, Kathleen,

There are so many different ways to explain difficult matters as there are people in the world. Some things are so abstruse that you need to elucidate what they mean word by word, but even then multiple interpretations will come into question to make them even more abstruse.

Take the phrase "Vengeance is Mine" for an example of what I am trying to say. To my understanding, it expresses the same law as the so-called Thalion Law ("An Eye for an Eye") and also that of "As you sow so you shall reap", which is no other than the so-called "Law of Karma." So, is God really saying that He or She is "a Vengeful God" as many contend? No. I believe He is telling us we must not try to avenge ourselves from any harm that has been done unto us because He, i.e. 'God', or 'the Universe' if you like, will take in his hands the task of correcting every misdeed that has ever been committed on this planet - in the same way that he will reward any good deeds that deserve to be rewarded.

So it is not that God is not a merciful, but a vengeful God. Such expressions as the one I am commenting on are rather a way to express, in a colloquial fashion, a certain universal law by which all humanity must abide - in other words, they are an injunction to correct our ways if we don't want to reap the evil we have sown. This is a universal law that must be followed in the same way that animals, plants and even planets, for that matter, must comply with certain rules in order to merely 'live and be happy' or, in other words, to function as such.

By the way, this article that you Myrna just brought us ("We Reap What We Sow") only in appearance contradicts what I am trying to say. It talks about correcting our ways if we want to live in the 5th dimension... and, can you conceive of a worse punishment than having to remain in a planet such as our planet is now? On the other hand, I have never said I cannot forgive anyone, but that I am filled with rage at the atrocities commited by the dark cabal; and that I rather pity them for the "correction" that they will have to suffer when the time is ripe for it. In other words, they will, sooner or later, have to reap what they have sown. And while I know I am not allowed to be happy about that (even though, from a higher point of view, I may be happy that they are, for their own good, corrected) I will certainly be happy when their victims have, in a way, been avenged.
That is all.

Thanking all three of you for the great input,

Blessings,

Miguel

No sign of Assad after bomb kills kin, rebels close in


Brazen attack kills top Syrian officials

Reports say a bodyguard in Assad's inner circle may have carried out deadly blast.Defense minister among dead
BEIRUT/AMMAN (Reuters) - Mystery surrounded the whereabouts of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Thursday, a day after a bomber killed and wounded his security chiefs and rebels closed in on the centre of Damascus, vowing to "liberate" the capital.

The Syrian leader made no public appearance and no statement on Wednesday after a bomber killed his powerful brother-in-law, his defense minister and a top general.

By the early hours of Thursday morning, residents had reported no let-up in the heaviest fighting to hit the capital in a 16-month revolt against Assad's rule.

Fighting on Wednesday had come to within sight of the presidential palace, near the security headquarters where the bomber struck a crisis meeting of defense and security chiefs.

Assad's brother-in-law Assef Shawkat, who served as a top commander and one of the pillars of the Assad clan's rule, was killed in the blast along with Defense Minister Daoud Rajha.

Another senior general also was killed and the heads of intelligence and the Interior Ministry were wounded, deeply damaging the security apparatus of the Assad family, which has ruled the country with an iron fist for four decades.

Intense clashes were reported late on Wednesday in the capital's central districts of Mezze and Kafar Souseh, while a police station in the Hajar al-Aswad district was in flames.

The army was shelling its own capital from the surrounding mountains as night fell. Government troops, having vowed retaliation on Wednesday for the assassination, fired machineguns into the city from helicopters.

A security source said the bomber who struck inside the security headquarters was a bodyguard entrusted with protecting the closest members of Assad's circle. State television said it was a suicide bomber. Anti-Assad groups claimed responsibility.

Washington, which fears a spillover into neighboring states, said the situation seemed to be spinning out of control. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said "the decisive fight" was under way in Damascus.

The U.N. Security Council put off a scheduled vote on a Syria resolution on Wednesday and U.S. President Barack Obama phoned Russia's Vladimir Putin, Assad's main world power protector, to try to persuade Moscow to drop support for him.

CORE OF CRISIS UNIT KILLED

The generals killed and wounded in Wednesday's bombing form the core of Assad's crisis unit to crush the revolt, which grew out of protests inspired by Arab Spring uprisings that unseated leaders in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya.

The armed forces chief of staff, Fahad Jassim al-Freij, quickly took over as defense minister on Wednesday to avoid giving any impression of official paralysis.

"This cowardly terrorist act will not deter our men in the armed forces from continuing their sacred mission of pursuing the remnants of these armed terrorist criminal gangs," Freij said on state television. "They will cut off every hand that tries to hurt the security of the nation or its citizens."

The explosion appeared to be part of a coordinated assault on the capital that has escalated since the start of the week. Rebel fighters call it the "liberation of Damascus" after months of clashes which activists say have killed 17,000 people.

"This is the final phase. They will fall very soon," Abdelbasset Seida, a leader of the opposition Syrian National Council, told Reuters in Qatar. "Today is a turning point in Syria's history. It will put more pressure on the regime and bring an end very soon, within weeks or months."

U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said: "This is a situation that is rapidly spinning out of control." He called for maximum global pressure on Assad to step down.

FEAR OF DESTABILISATION

Western leaders fear the conflict, which has been joined by al Qaeda-style jihadists, could destabilize Syria's neighbors: Israel, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq and Jordan.

Syrian forces hit rebel positions across the capital after the attack on the security meeting, with activists saying government troops and pro-government militia were flooding in.

State television broadcast footage it said was filmed on Wednesday showing men in blue army fatigues ducking for cover and firing - the first time official media has shown clashes in the heart of the capital.

Government troops used heavy machineguns and anti-aircraft guns against rebels in residential neighborhoods, armed mostly with small arms and rocket-propelled grenades.

Rebels were jubilant at their success in penetrating into the capital and at the deaths of the security chiefs. Abdullah al-Shami, a rebel commander based in Turkey, said: "I expect a speedy collapse of the regime ... and it means we will not be in need of outside intervention, with the regime beginning to crumble much faster than we envisaged."

Yet some opposition figures said victory would still not be easy.

"It is going to be difficult to sustain supply lines and the rebels may have to make a tactical withdrawal at one point, like they did in other cities," veteran opposition activist Fawaz Tello said from Istanbul.

"But what is clear is that Damascus has joined the revolt."
