AND A CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM!!!
When will this child appear? Maybe he or she has already been here
and has pointed the way to the KINGDOM OF GOD in the 'past'
is doing so now ~ and will continue to do so, until, through
the passage of many lives, all men come to the conclusion~~
THAT IT IS BETTER TO BE CHILD-LIKE SO THEY CAN INHERIT THE
KINGDOM....[[cf. the below scriptural quote from THE NEW
TESTAMENT.]]

TO ASCEND DEEPER
[b. EARNEST lebeau ~ reporting]
PARADOXICALLY, one must go down to go up! One must rid
himself or herself of form, if one wishes to see the true
essence of things. That's why when one is ready to go
higher, he/she 'sheds' his/her heretofore companions as well
as familiar places of 'comfort' ~ to CONFRONT (itself) in
the mirror of (itself's) OWN FEARS & INSECURITIES.
>>This is the final 'leg' of the upward journey that some
mystics refer to as the DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL (LEFT BEREFT)
where ~ NO ONE CAN DO IT FOR YOU!!! ~ THE CRUCIBLE!!!
{{{As Jesus would put it: BY LOSING YOUR SELF (EGO) YOU
WILL FIND YOURSELF ~ born again into your true spiritual
ROOT, untied & ONE WITH THE FATHER!!!}}}
>>Then one will see all men & women in a truly new
perspective: as ONE and also see all religions as reflecting
the LOVE OF GOD (where essence melts the trapping forms) so
one can embrace all of them ~ INDEED ALL OF LIFE ~ WITHOUT
JUDGMENT ~ BUT RATHER IN TOTAL EMPATHY!!! It is during this
time that one CAN & MUST ROOT OUT THE ENEMY WITHIN which
binds us to the earth (and would make us a laughingstock
if we had let it.)
>>It is at this sacred time that the soul is left in a state
OF "nada"[*] so it can contemplate itself and "seal" itself
from the negative forces both within & without. [THEN IT
WILL KNOW ITSELF FROM WITHIN!] Then those at the top of the
mountain will both see & seek this soul and bring such a one
to the PEACE of the mountain to recline & refresh itself for
AWHILE....
>>AFTER A 'TIME' ~~ the yearning will be enkindled in such
a soul ~~ a yearning to DESCEND ~ to seek the rivers ~
but this is another story for another time....
>>PEACE TO ALL!
[*]: St. Francis of Assisi called this 'nada' an "EMPTINESS"
which goes contrary to our natural dispositions in the knowledge that these
virtues will bring not only
balance to our lives but also harmony & peace.

THE FLIP~SIDE = ANTI~LIFE INSENSITIVITY!!!

BONSAI~KITTENS: The so-called new fashion in NEW YORK - CHINA - INDONNESIA
& NEW ZEALAND!
{{{ANIMAL-LOVERS: YOU MAY BE SHOCKED AT THIS REVELATION!}}}
>>[[CAVEAT]]<< THE FOLLOWING STORY COULD NOT BE CONFIRMED
AND MAY HAVE
BEEN THE PRODUCT OF A VERY SICK MIND ~ "NO JOKE!";
HOWEVER, KEEP IN MIND THAT SUCH CRUELTIES DO INDEED EXIST
ON THIS PLANET, SO THE REACTION TO THIS "FICTION"
IS VERY REAL INDEED!!!
The kittens are put in glass packings...
A catheter in anus vacuums excretions...
kittens are given chemicals to soften bones:
[THEY THUS TAKE THE SHAPE OF THE BOTTLE]
They are left in bottle until death ~
or they take the shape of the bottle!!!
If you want to give the "people" [?]
a piece of your mind regarding this
procedure, cf. the below web site:

AND MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON THE SOULS OF THE IGNORANT ONES
WHO INSIST ON DESTROYING LIFE AT THE AMUSEMENT OF
MANY ~~ APPARENTLY!!! bleb
BONSAI~byron observation: It was very disturbing to me, after having read
and analyzed "PISTIS SOPHIA" which ironically is sandwiched between this
web page, that this BONSAI KITTEN is truly an example of
NEGATIVE ENTROPY, I.E the serpent swallowing his own tail!!!
If you read the whole text & commentary, you can see the obvious
implications of not being sensitive to ALL LIFE on this planet!!! Just like
any self-willed being who ACTS ONLY FOR the self ~
once it destroys others, IT COMSUMES ITSELF!!! [[I JUST WONDER IF THE
'PEOPLE' WHO ARE DOING THESE THINGS TO THE KITTENS, WOULD NOT
BLINK AN EYE IF WE BECAME THE TARGET OF THEIR 'ARTWORK'?!?
IF THEY LEARN THAT THEY ARE PART OF A LARGER SCHEME OF THINGS ~
WOULD THEY HAVE TO LEARN THIS ON THE INSIDE OF A BOTTLE???
LET US PRAY THAT IT DOES NOT COME TO THIS!]]

Ursine Babysitter
A 16-month-old baby in Iran
was found safe & slumbering
in the den of a mother bear
after being missing for three days.
'THE KAYHAN' reported that the baby was the
child of nomadic parents in western
Lorestan province who found their child
missing after returning to their tent from
the fields. A search party later discovered
the toddler in the bear's den about
six miles from the encampment. The
team said the child had been breast-fed
by the bear, but doctors reported the
baby was in good health.

BEACHED WHALES & THE NAVY: Frankly, this story really is disturbing to me, not because I haven't heard it before, but because a "primitive" technology used by THE NAVY is killing whales w/o concern or foresight for their """bretheren""" who may be more highly evolved then OUR NAVY!!?!!
In the year 2000 ~ 17 marine animals of various species
were BEACHED & stranded at several locations in the
Northern Bahamas ON THE SAME DAY that 5 Navy ships in the
area were using mid-frequency SONAR!!!
Among the injured were 6 beaked whales WHOSE HEADS were
suffering from an "intense acoustic or pressure event"
AND HAD SOME hemorrhages in or around the ears....
WHAT GOT ME: Despite these injuries to these dear animals ~
THE GOOD OL' NAVY is planning on moving forward with
deployment ~ a la ~ """MANIFEST DESTINY"""
After all, don't we "own" the seas and all that is in it?
[[note]]: AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL SOCIETY VISITING US MAY FIND
THIS "BARBARIC" ~ especially if the species (THE WHALES)
is of a higher order than THE NAVY!!!--[[DO YOU REALLY
THINK THIS IS SO FAR-FETCHED???]]...CAUSE FOR CONCERN???

A NEW Christmas Carol
Below is a beautiful synchronistic story about a table cloth; in fact, it punctuates & brings (via synchronicity) LOVE to a higher~richer~ & deeper understanding & appreciation...WHOEVER is responsible for its execution. After you read it, you are welcome to go to my web page: "SYNCHRONISTIC HAPPENINGS. ENJOY!
Subject: sweet story
THIS IS A TRUE STORY. PLEASE READ IT
The Table Cloth
The brand new pastor and his wife, newly assigned to his first
pastorate, arrived in suburban Brooklyn in early October excited about
their opportunity to reopen a church. When they saw their church, it was
very run down and needed much work.
They set a goal to have everything done in time to have their first
service on Christmas Eve.
They worked hard, repairing pews, plastering walls, painting, and
whatnot. and on Dec 18 were ahead of schedule and just about finished.
On Dec 19 a terrible tempest - a driving rainstorm hit the area and
lasted for two days.
On the 21st, the pastor went to the church. His heart sank when he saw
that the roof had leaked, causing a large area of plaster about 20 feet
by 8 feet to fall off the front wall of the sanctuary just behind the
pulpit, beginning about head high. The pastor cleaned up the mess on the
floor, and not knowing what else to do but postpone the Christmas Eve
service, headed home.
On the way he noticed that a local business was having a flea market
type sale for charity so he stopped in. One of the items was a
beautiful, handmade, ivory colored, crocheted tablecloth with exquisite
work, fine colors and a Cross embroidered right in the center. It was
just the right size to cover up the hole in the front wall. He bought it
and headed back to the church.
By this time it had started to snow. An older woman running from the
opposite direction was trying to catch the bus. She missed it. The
pastor invited her to wait in the warm church for the next bus 45
minutes later.
She sat in a pew and paid no attention to the pastor while he got a
ladder and hangers to put the tablecloth up as a wall tapestry. The
pastor could hardly believe how beautiful it looked and it covered up
the entire problem area. Then he noticed the woman walking down the
center aisle. Her face was like a sheet. "Pastor," she asked, "where did
you get that tablecloth?" The pastor explained. The woman asked him to
check the lower right corner to see if the initials, EBG were crocheted
into it there. They were. These were the initials of the woman, and she
had made this tablecloth 35 years before, in Austria.
The woman could hardly believe it as the pastor told how he had just
gotten the tablecloth. The woman explained that before the war she and
her husband were well-to-do people in Austria. When the Nazis came, she
was forced to leave. Her husband was going to follow her the next week.
She was captured, sent to prison and never saw her husband or her home
again.
The pastor wanted to give her the tablecloth; but she made the pastor
keep it for the church. The pastor insisted on driving her home, feeling
that was the least he could do. She lived on the other side of Staten
Island and was only in Brooklyn for the day for a housecleaning job.
What a wonderful service they had on Christmas Eve! The church was
almost full. The music and the spirit were great. At the end of the
service, the pastor and his wife greeted everyone at the door and many
said that they would return. One older man, whom the pastor recognized
from the neighborhood, continued to sit in one of the pews and stare,
and the pastor wondered why he wasn't leaving.
The man asked him where he had gotten the tablecloth on the front wall
because it was identical to one that his wife had made years ago when
they lived in Austria before the war and how could there be two
tablecloths so much alike? He told the
pastor how the Nazis came, how he forced his wife to flee for her
safety, and he was supposed to follow her, but he was arrested and put
in a prison. He never saw his wife or his home again all the 35 years in
between.
The pastor asked him if the man would allow him to take him for a little
ride. They drove to Staten Island, to the same house where the pastor
had taken the woman three days earlier. He helped the man climb the
three flights of stairs to the woman's apartment, knocked on the door
and he saw the greatest Christmas reunion he could ever imagine.
True Story - submitted by Pastor Rob Reid: Who says God does not work
in mysterious ways? I asked the Lord to bless you as I prayed for you
today. To guide you and protect you as you go along your way... His love
is always with you; His
promises are true; And when we give Him all our cares you know He will
see us through. So when the road you're traveling on seems difficult at
best, Just remember; I'm here praying, and God will do the rest.
Pass this on to those you want God to bless, and don't forget to send it
back to the one who asked God to bless you first.

THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS' TALE of 1998: [SOURCE: "THE ISAIAH EFFECT", p.246...cf. the web page:"TIPS FOR A HEALTHY TOMORROW" with the 'IMMUNITY'tid-bit for incidental details of this book.]
One morning, the disabled children found themselves competing on the same track, in the same event. At the sound of the starting gun, they were off to the finish line at the other end of the course. It was a young boy with the Down's Syndrome that made this account so powerful. As the other competitors bounded down the track using whatever skills they had to work toward the finish, this special boy slowed down and looked back to the starting line. He saw that one of his teammates had fallen at the beginning of the race and was struggling to stand up.
The boy with Down Syndrome suddenly stopped, turned,and began walking back toward his friend. One by one, each of the other competitors realized what was happening, turned and followed,until they had retraced their steps to the point where they had begun. Lifting their friend to his feet, they locked arms, and together walked down the track to the finish. In that moment those nine children redefined the rules of the competition. With the clock still ticking away, they moved beyond the limits of time & sport to create a new experience where they each finished in their own way, all at the same time. It made no sense for one of them to arrive at the finish without the others....
[[THIS IS THE "END" of a new beginning~ perhaps!]] |
