Dear Therese,<\/p>\n
Georgia here again.\u00a0 So what about the current state of affairs in this world?\u00a0 It is obvious, to me at least, that we are being lied to by so many that we have trusted to tell us the truth.<\/p>\n
Take, for example, our weather patterns these days. \u00a0 Cloud formations that used to be rare are common place now.\u00a0 There is increasing evidence that the clouds are being chemically created.\u00a0 This brings us to two points.\u00a0 Barium and aluminum are being dropped on us something like 5000 times the norm. Just like gmo food, they are using us as guinea pigs to see the side effects.\u00a0 AND they are using the force of nature to the advantage of big business and government.\u00a0 I think they are purposely using these things to keep us scared and controlled.\u00a0 They are not using these things for the \u201cgood\u201d.\u00a0 I think you would think long and hard about the effects of these chemicals if one of your kids was messed up in the head and the other other one couldn’t breathe bc of possibly being those guinea pigs.<\/p>\n
We have the capability to manipulate something as big as the weather and it would be awesome. But now is no time to lay down and volunteer but a time to demand that we have a right to know what is being dumped on us. Because we lay down and take it, we are condoning to the “elites” that humanity has no value.<\/p>\n
How are we to think of these things as spiritual opportunities??<\/p>\n
Georgia<\/p>\n
Wow! Georgia, I like that you are asking these questions!\u00a0 Putting the everyday reality into a spiritual perspective is sometimes very hard…almost impossible sometimes.\u00a0 Okay, I\u2019ll give a spiritual explanation and some perspective on these things a shot here.<\/p>\n
My thoughts:\u00a0 man can do just about anything.\u00a0 We can create and engineer even human life.\u00a0 Many think this to be a sin.\u00a0 Only God’s territory.\u00a0 As you know, I think we are all “gods”.\u00a0 (As CWG puts it, individuations of Divinity.)\u00a0 Engineering life, or engineering clouds, it isn’t about doing these things, but for what purpose they are being done.\u00a0 This, then, becomes a matter of individual and collective choice.\u00a0 Do I have a problem with engineered clouds being used to create water in a drought area?\u00a0 Or to recapture wasted water to refill the aquifers?\u00a0 No.\u00a0 Do I have a problem using them to cause destruction to profit big business and control the people?\u00a0 You betcha.\u00a0 So, personal and collective awareness is, as usual, the key (opportunity) to changing how we use our power…and that changes as we begin to view humanity as One.\u00a0 Realizing the butterfly effect is real.\u00a0 In Christian terms…what you do to the least of my brothers, you do unto me.<\/p>\n
I would also urge you to keep open the possibility that at least some of these cloud\/weather changes may be circumstantial, as opposed to insidious.\u00a0 Be very careful to avoid being sucked into the story of the way things are, and stay as much as possible in observing the facts (as you know them) of what you see.<\/p>\n
Which actually takes me to the esoteric question of “why not”?\u00a0 If this life is but a continuation of life, and we really, as CWG states, have no life to lose, why not consciously agree to be the guinea pig to further the course of humanity?\u00a0 Why not volunteer?<\/p>\n
Ahhh, there’s the key!\u00a0 We are NOT volunteering right now!\u00a0 But what if we were, for real, given that choice?\u00a0 Might that not change some things? \u00a0Might life look more like an opportunity than it does now? \u00a0What if we were told up front that there was going to be a section of this planet used to experiment on long term human effects?<\/p>\n
Older people might volunteer to live in “chem zones” to give their children’s children a better life.\u00a0 Especially since much of the world is starving due to lack of rain for crops.\u00a0 We are sacrificing ourselves for far less noble things already.<\/p>\n
Don’t mistake, please, that I think it is okay to be doing what they are doing, in the way they are currently doing things.\u00a0 Transparency…choice…<\/i>is the key.<\/p>\n
There is abundant room for changing how we look at life…and that\u2019s exactly what this site is all about!<\/p>\n
One more thought… An unfortunate statement about humankind is that sometimes the masses are so meek and compliant that it takes a \u201cmadman\u201d to step out of the box…a person\u00a0 (or group of persons) who dares to even think something is possible!\u00a0 Now we sane, but outside the box thinkers, Spiritual thinkers,<\/i> have (the opportunity) to either keep the madmen in check, show the madmen a better way (who he\/she really is) or empower the\u00a0 masses.\u00a0 Or at least begin to en-mass allow the sane, outside the box thinkers\/doers to not be reviled.\u00a0 Currently people are afraid of being relegated to the fringe of their families\/societies\/religion if they don\u2019t stay inside those boxes.\u00a0 Portrayed as unpatriotic, heretics, crazy and or conspiracists. Make sure to look at your own views of others, and not disempower.<\/p>\n
Georgia, in our search for a better way of living, we do have to be very alert to not falling into yet another power grab agenda masked in altruism. \u00a0(Opportunities to Be discerning, careful, vigilant?) \u00a0We must be careful of anyone who wants us to be fearful vs merely aware.\u00a0 I get the feeling that there are many agendas in play here, and many are proclaiming themselves to be the one and only “right” one.\u00a0 All of which means, to me, that we have to be “cafeteria Catholics” and pick what works from each, and figure out what is truly for the greater good…and create our world consciously from this point forward.\u00a0 Knowing that what works now most likely won\u2019t entirely work, oh, two thousand years from now!\u00a0 We must now work the idea of change <\/i>into our long term thoughts. \u00a0The opportunity to create our own agenda…not all agendas are self serving and malevolent. \u00a0We can include the thoughts of others and other ways.<\/p>\n
On the subject of religion, and government, it is encouraging to see even \u00a0the Pope and Rev. Pat Robertson changing their minds about homosexuality on even a minor level.\u00a0 The United States has made major attitude and legal changes in this area. This may seem off topic, Georgia, but it is all wrapped up in control…the ultimate control…of sexuality, and specifically the feminine energy….feminine energy and attempts to suppress it. Just look at television commercials geared for girls and toys for them. Absolutely ridiculous that still, in 2013, all the girl toys are make-up, hair playing with dolls, dolls to teach them how to be a mommy, brat dolls that are nothing but materialistic, fashion creating websites, jewelry making, hair extensions and color. Whereas the boys toys are geared around imagination and engineering!! We are “Madison Avenue-ed” into our roles from an early age.\u00a0 Warriors that are used to protect money and the status quo are called heroes and idolized.\u00a0 A woman who questions that status quo is a B word or worse…never spiritual, intuitive, peace-maker.\u00a0 The divine feminine is <\/i>Mother, but not in the way it is currently portrayed. \u00a0These times are giving us, I believe, our opportunity to create balance.<\/p>\n
Georgia, the bottom line of what I am saying is that we do have control.\u00a0 We have control of how we think and feel about this world we live in.\u00a0 We can fall into the chaotic energies swirling about, or we can keep the perspective that we are the butterfly that can effect our world.\u00a0 We can become a conscious part of the collective, and influence that collective. \u00a0We are being given many opportunities to choose how change happens. \u00a0I believe we, as individuals, through our thoughts and actions, can not help but influence the direction of humanity.<\/p>\n
Rudyard Kipling said it perfectly.\u00a0 (I know, I know, this post is getting really long, but I think it is an important topic!)<\/p>\n
