God IS Stalking You...IF you are a true worshiper!

" 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." - John 4:22-23

Is God Stalking You, Too?

If you're feelings of paranoia are starting to stress you out then you might be sub-consciously picking up signals around you that are getting processed by your higher brain functions.  The output might be something that you would rather ignore due to its perceived threatening nature.  I say "perceived" because the results of the data-crunching going on in your cranium might actually be to your benefit.  Someone could be trying to tell you something that others aren't getting.  Question is...are you getting it?  If not, then the perpetrators will move on to another of our race until they get a positive response.  How do I know these things?  Because I was one of those "subjects" being tailed.  Long ago.  I was unaware of it until I started  blasting the locked doors of my psyche off their hinges with all sorts of "Wonderland party favors" until some "hooka-smoking caterpillar" gave me the inside scoop on what was coming.

Most people in this world are totally clueless and I try to make it my job to fill in the ones who really want to know.  Their motives for wanting to know always vary.  Sometimes they want to satisfy their curiosity.  It brings them a certain peace of mind to know that they weren't crazy when they were suspecting that they were being stalked by someone.  It never ceases to amaze me that once they find out who their pursuer is they lose the feeling of it all being a threat to them and they cease responding to the "prodding" by these "stalkers." Now, me?  Once I found out who it was that was stalking me, I turned on them and confronted them with a barrage of questions.  I was tired of running.  I was tired of being afraid.  I was finished with the "games" and wanted as many answers as I could possibly get out of this agency of "snoops." And I got those answers, too.  Now I've been employed to help others who find themselves in my shoes to come to grips with the "Stalkers" by explaining the "whys" and "wherefores" of their mission.

Activities or Productivities?

How familiar I am with getting the life pulled out of me by just getting too engaged in "activitiy." What I've learned is that these many and varied diversions are quite DIS-tressing, DIS-tracting, DIS-arming and DIS-integrating. That last "DIS..." being one that is far too close to what happens to human relationships, well intended goals we set and finally what happens during the proverbial "dirt nap." Integrity is something that comes by setting our hearts upon the highest goal attainable and pursuing it. You know, the 3 step program...1) Set a goal, 2) Make a plan to reach that goal and 3) Follow up by sticking to the plan in a proactive way (no putting it off...doing it now!) By first of all raising our spiritual consciousness up to the highest and broadest level possible for the amount of neuro-activity we possess (which changes either to a higher/broader level or reduces to a lower/narrower level by what we do or don't do). "Enlarging the heart" is the old phrase meaning an elevation in our spiritual awareness. These types of elevation rarely come in instantaneous "spikes." Rather it takes time to reach these levels. Time and patience. Remember. God is GROWING something here within us that will reflect HIM. And the material that He has to work with is by nature resistant to the "spirit ideas" and "cosmic concepts" which He plants within the soil of our being. Due to our unfortunately weak nature, we will tend to unconciously think up ways to divert our attention from His thoughts by all of those "activity" things. ( I love the way you explained the difference in "activity" and "productivity!!) That's why it seems we all have a little trouble getting jump started into His Word. I try to make it an easier start. Make it worth your time.

Getting Beyond False Assumptions

The "World" is tearing you down something fierce! I marvel at how well you've stood up to the forces however. The "key," as I've told you before is to develop your highest form of intellectual reasoning which, of course is FAITH in God's Word. But first you must know how to unlock its mysteries, its secrets, plumb its depths. One requires "The Key" and that requires person to person, one on one instruction from one who has obtained it. It is attainable still, but OUTSIDE of RELIGIOUS SYSTEMS. Once you have obtained it you will then be one of those rare people who "KNOW and KNOW that they KNOW!" I wish I could tell you just how powerful this system of KNOWLEDGE can be in your life, but I think you already know!! There are some powerful factors in your life that are preventing you from obtaining this "Key" but I can assure you that your ONLY investment will eventually be a couple of hours a week of study. This investment of "time" looking into a variety of topics will prove to be the best investment a person could possibly make in their life. I am presently taking my next door neighbors, their sister and a few others through the studies. The topics we cover are very basic and fundamental. But the "Key" is to make absolutely sure that what we believe about each of these topics is not a "FALSE ASSUMPTION." Many people "assume" they already know and understand the Biblical definitions of these topics, the "key" words, ideas and concepts. Unfortunately, they have had their "cosmic consciousness" altered by the "Collective Consciousness" that has sown the seeds of pre-conceived ideas about the Bible into their minds and hearts. All I do is show where these false assumptions, should they exist in the person's mind, conflict with the original idea that Jesus taught his disciples. Of course there was only one original gospel in the beginning when he taught them. It wasn't long before the original gospel corrupted in both its doctrine and in its practice within the Church. Warning after warning was given by the writers of the New Testament books including Jesus himself. Warnings that went unheeded and eventually The Faith was all but lost. Replaced by what the apostle Paul calls a "false gospel" (read Galatians chapter 1). This "counterfeit gospel" has been growing steadily and consistently for the past 2,000 years while the Truth has only been sought out and found by small groups throughout the ages. If you think this might sound a little "exclusive" or "cultish" I can reassure you that history will repeat itself very shortly in that episode of the Jews expecting their Messiah to deliver their nation from the occupation of the Roman Authorities and due to their "pre-conceived idea" and "false assumptions" about the prophecies concerning their Messiah, they crucified him. They imagined him to be the "Lion of the Tribe of Judah" that would set up the old throne of King David's kingdom. Even his own disciples thought he was to set up the ancient "Kingdom of Israel (God)" and banish all foreigners from their land. As history has shown, it didn't happen that way at all. Jesus had to conquer the greatest enemy of God and man first.

Now, do you know what that enemy is? It comes in a variety of forms in our lives but is a very real, dynamic force of nature which we must be able to clearly identify before we can ever hope to conquer it.

"The Down Escalator"

From the top of this Escalator I can see others, both going down and coming up on the Upside. I just got the latest Lab report from my blood test taken last Wed., May 7th, 2008. As Gil, my doctor said in his email to which he attached the PDF file of the lab report, "Its not pretty." That wasn't the answer I was expecting. I wanted to hear and see MUCH better results. As I read his brief note I could feel my whole body reacting to the news by a rise in my temperature. A blushing. As if I had said something in a crowd that was so totally and socially unacceptable. Like I was experiencing a flush of embarassment. Anger? Frustration? Exasperation at the fact that the results weren't more positive? Thoughts ran through my head, "Why? What now? Where to go? Who to see?" Well, I told Windy, "...and he died." As long as I can tolerate the pain of dying slowly its okay. I just need to trust that my faith in God will uphold me through this as well as prepare me for whatever His will dictates. I know I've had my ups and downs and have given up on living into my "golden years" whenever I get a negative report, and then when I get a good report I allow myself to get some false hope that God might just heal me. At this point...Tuesday, May 13th, 2008, 7:13 PM...I'm ambivalent about it. Gil (my doc) says we'll discuss it tomorrow. Okay. But I don't really see any need to keep battling this thing. Honestly, if God wants me alive then He'll do it. If not, no matter what we do it'll just be wasting good time and money that can be used elsewhere.

Introduction

The future IS ours to see. It has already been seen and recorded on media that is only accesible by One. Our present existence as a race, as an individual who is only a small part of that race is so temporary as to be considered nothing more than a fleeting shadow or wisp of wind that will pass away with our demise.
