'Don't Lose Hope!' Eight things you and your family can do to increase hope in uncertain times.
By Naomi Drew
"I've been so overwhelmed by what's going on these days," a mother recently said regarding world events. "I feel like there's nothing I can do and the world's spinning out of control." Her words echo the sentiments so many of us feel each time we pick up a paper or turn on the news. War on the horizon, nuclear weapons in North Korea, a family of six killed by a fire bomb in Baltimore, the massacre in Bali -- the list goes on. Right now, it's easy to lose hope. However, loss of hope doesn't have to be the path we walk down.
You see, hope is actually something we create. It's not something that magically appears from an outside source. We each have within us the capacity to generate hope. It's critical that we be absolutely intentional about nurturing hope in our lives and the lives of our children.
Now more than ever, overcoming fear and holding onto hope are essential. The eight steps below will enable you do this. Try these steps yourself and teach them to your kids. Do some of these as a family. Know that it is within your control to become more hopeful. Don't let the news be your undoing. You can take charge. Here's how:
1. Be kind to yourself. Think about what you need most, and then do it. Is it a cup of tea, a brisk walk, some downtime, quiet music, a little rest, or reading inspirational literature? Whatever it is, grant yourself permission to do it, even for just a few minutes. If you're at work, take a "care-break" where you take care of you for a brief moment. These small moments accumulate and transform the texture of our days.
2. Create a 5-minute silence ritual every day. Light a candle and pray, meditate or reflect. You don't have to believe in any particular deity to make this work. Just silently reflecting in front of a lit candle is extremely nurturing and healing. This may be the one time of day when you feel connected to your own soul, and perhaps even something larger. Don't skip this step -- it's very powerful.
3. Curtail your intake of news. Oversaturation with news right now is detrimental to emotional health. If you read the newspaper in the morning, let that be enough. You don't need to turn on the TV or radio too, especially before bed. Consider putting a complete moratorium on news at least once a week. Anything you missed will be there tomorrow. Drastically curtail any news you let your children watch.
4. Treat each day like the precious gift it is. Be vigilant in looking for things and people to appreciate. What if today was the last day of your life? How would you want to live it? Ask yourself this question throughout the day. It will help you let go of the countless petty annoyances that tend to throw most of us off balance. Shift your gaze to appreciation. Who and what are you grateful for? Make a list each day and add to it.
5. Every morning, afternoon and night, take a 30-second break to look at the sky, breathe deeply and offer thanks. Even though the world has its problems, the sun still rises in the sky each morning, and we're awake and alive when we get out of bed. Let the sky be a touchstone to hope. Think of other people around the world as you look at the sky, and know that we all share this planet together. Among all of us, we have the ability to create solutions to the problems that now exist. Trust that this is so.
6. Express love tangibly. Hugs, words, notes, acts of kindness -- be indiscriminately generous with all of them. Surprise a friend with a hug. Hug and kiss your kids longer and with deeper feeling. If you like how the clerk treated you in the store, thank her. Leave your partner small notes expressing gratitude for kind acts. Doing all of this adds warmth and positive energy to our lives and the lives of people around us. It's also very comforting both to the giver and receiver of each loving act.
7. Say this affirmation everyday and see where it leads you: "I am the key to peace." Most of us believe, erroneously, that peace will come from people or institutions much larger than we. Just the opposite is true. Peace starts with each individual and it will only come to this world from the people themselves. It is critical that we each create peace in the small and large moments of our lives. We must live it in our words and actions rather than giving in to fear, hatred, or resignation.
8. Make a difference. Reach out beyond your normal scope. This is your opportunity to live your greatest promise, highest self. Don't wait. Each time we make a difference in the lives of others, we create hope in ourselves. By reaching out to someone in need, be it your neighbor, a Guatemalan orphan, or people in a homeless shelter, we add a little more peace and hope to the world. Our accumulated gestures of care and compassion will ultimately transform our lives and the lives of others. We are each the source of that transformation. Knowing this gives me hope.
SEEK PEACE… BE HOPEFUL… FILLED WITH FAITH… AND ABOVE ALL THINGS…
Like most people who desire Change and Hope I once strongly considering OBAMA as a possible answer to the mess this nation is in... Then I started seeing an amazing amount of what at first I thought was "paranoia" and "just plain silliness" regarding research into this possibility.
Now I am a firm believer that the USA is "Mystery Babylon" and that the most likely "Anti-Christ" would be the one holding the office of "President" (I have covered this in past blogs so i will not again belabor why I believe this way).
Out of curiosity i began to really openly look into OBAMA and the deeper i dug (minus what i considered to be relevant of questionable) led me again and again to things that suggested this is perhaps the case.
I am not huge on politics and i am not trying to sway your Vote to McCain (who likewise is enmeshed in agendas i find repugnant) But I feel i must speak out and warn people regarding why i feel OBAMA JUST MIGHT BE the Biblically prophesied ANTI-CHRIST.
I will post some information and videos along the way here and then show you some of the things I found in personal research. (Some of these YouTube vids has yet to present one thing I found VERY INTERESTING .
I do not ask you to believe as I do.. I ONLY ask you to Consider each EVIDENCE, do your own research and then come to your own conclusion.
This was not what i wanted to see.. It is only what I have thus far discovered.
#1 - IT IS PRESENTED IN MAJOR MEDIA:
#2 - OBAMA AD ITSELF SELLS "MESSIAH LIKE" PROMISES:
#3 - McCAIN "The ONE" AD REALLY PLAYS UP THE "False Messiah" IDEA:
#4 - "HAGEE'S" DENIAL MAKES ME MORE APT TO BELIEVE IN OPPOSITION:
(Sad that you use this to sell your book of crappy "racist" theology.. here's the Hagee sales pitch.)
(Did I hear that right sir? Did you actually say "Jesus never offered anything to the Jews????" and now I am to believe you regarding who is or is not the "AC"???)
#5 - EXPERIMENT: GOOGLE
Google the following; " AUGUST 1961 MESSIAH "
Whose name is mentioned MOST on Page One?
(When I did this yesterday the first Entry was about "BARACK OBAMA"..ODD?, Perhaps not!)
#6 - THE SYMBOLISM OF OBAMA'S NAME ( STUDY THE MEANING YOU FIND THE "PURPOSE"
Have you ever done a study of your name to see what it means?
Were you suprised at how well it fit you and described who you are and what you might feel is your destiny?
I know when I did it with my given name it worked out TRUE for exactly what I am doing.. as mine came out "The one who replaces (supplants) the Sad King (of the) Land" and since I am working on behalf of YHWH in the Spirit of "Yahashua/Jesus" I think it fits VERY WELL!
So I decided to use the same process I used to find my own meaning with the name Barack Hussian Obama and as yet have not seen any other person present this completely and so I will show what i found Here on my Blog for you to consider:
****** The Symbolism of the Name BARACH HUSSAIN OBAMA Analyzed
OB: 'Ob (Hebrew) Also aub. A necromancer, one who "calls up the dead" in order to learn from them future events; secondarily, the spirit of divination in the necromancer; and thirdly, the apparition, shade, or kama-rupa* itself which is raised. 'Ob is "the messenger of death used by the sorcerers, the nefarious evil fluid" (SD 1:76), the lowest aspect of the astral light -- "or rather, its pernicious evil currents" (TG 237).
* Meaning of KAMA-RUPA
Kama-Rupa (Sanskrit) A compound word signifying "desire body." It is that part of man's inner constitution in which dwell or inhere the various desires, affections, hates, loves -- in short, the various mental and psychical energies. After death it becomes the vehicle in the astral worlds of the higher principles of the man that was. But these higher principles are nevertheless scarcely conscious of the fact, because the rupture of the golden cord of life at the moment of the physical death plunges the cognizing personal entity into a merciful stupor of unconsciousness, in which stupor it remains a longer or shorter period depending upon its qualities of spirituality or materiality. The more spiritual the man was the longer the period of merciful unconsciousness lasts, and vice versa. After death, as has been frequently stated elsewhere, there occurs what is called the second death, which is the separation of the immortal part of the second or intermediate duad from the lower portions of this duad, which lower portions remain as the kama-rupa in the etheric or higher astral spheres which are intermediate between the devachanic and the earthly spheres. In time this kama-rupa gradually fades out in its turn, its life-atoms at such dissolution passing on to their various and unceasing peregrinations. It is this kama-rupa which legend and story in the various ancient world religions or philosophies speak of as the shade, and which it has been customary in the Occident to call the spook or ghost. It is, in short, all the mortal elements of the human soul that was. The kama-rupa is an exact astral duplicate, in appearance and mannerism, of the man who died; it is his eidolon or "image." (See also Second Death)
AMA: AMA (1) : Ama (Hebrew, Jewish)., Amia, (Chald.). Mother. A title of Sephira Binah, whose "divine name is Jehovah" and who is called "Supernal Mother".
AMA (2) : Ama Deus: Reportedly, a system of healing, magic, and divination used for millennia by Guarani shamen in Brazil. The Guaranis are a South American Indian people.
AMA (3) : Ama Visha: An especially harmful, disease-promoting type of ama that contains highly reactive toxins.
922 bohuw bo'-hoo from an unused root (meaning to be empty); a vacuity, i.e. (superficially) an undistinguishable ruin:--emptiness, void. (why we BOO and bad events or bad speakers…Why we surprize people with a “BOO” and to cry is symbolized often as to “BOO - hoo” )
A disturbing trend among many Christians has been some kind of perverse lust for TEOTWAWKI (An Acronym for "The End Of The World As We Know It") and although it's understandable that everyone is seeking to see our world change to become a utopia I have always found it to feel very wrong to be looking forward to it and not trying to change it without death, blood and war.
Humans are still quite animal like in their desire for blood and revenge and many religious people feel it's time for the "evil people" to get their just due... But I fail to understand why someone who claims to have the "Love of Jesus" in them could have a militant attitude that seeks anything near revenge.
To me, anyone claiming to follow Jesus should desire what Jesus would desire.. PEACE, JOY, TOLERANCE and COMPASSION are a major part of LOVE so if you are looking forward to watching the "sinners" burn or Jesus cutting the heads off Demons in my opinion you better rethink your position... because compassion desires that ALL MIGHT BE SAVED!
Militant and wild eyed vengeance is NOT the way of my God (YHWH) and the reason many misunderstand is because they take the passages of books like Revelation or the old Testament JUDGEMENT books way too literally and fail to see the underlying meanings.
Everyone would like to think that the present beliefs are absolute and correct but having done substantive research it has become obvious that many things in religions have been changed very very slowly over time by false teachers, redefined dogma and misapplied doctrine. political, financial or other "selfish power" based reasons.
Love is other centered and UN-selfish. It NEVER seeks harm on anyone and is slow to judgement and anger. Love does not have to be proven right and Love would never desire anything that holds the breath of life to eternally suffer... yet we still see a form of radical HATE pervading groups of well-meaning people.. some of whom claim that God is out for Blood against any who will not hear him.. such as this example from ALTERNET (part of the story reproduced below...go to Link for remainder)
Theocratic Sect Prays for Real Armageddon By Casey Sanchez, Southern Poverty Law Center Posted on August 30, 2008, Printed on August 30, 2008 http://www.alternet.org/story/96945/ LAKELAND, Fla. -- Todd Bentley has a long night ahead of him, resurrecting the dead, healing the blind, and exploding cancerous tumors. Since April 3, the 32-year-old, heavily tattooed, body-pierced, shaved-head Canadian preacher has been leading a continuous "supernatural healing revival" in central Florida. To contain the 10,000-plus crowds flocking from around the globe, Bentley has rented baseball stadiums, arenas and airport hangars at a cost of up to $15,000 a day. Many in attendance are church pastors themselves who believe Bentley to be a prophet and don't bat an eye when he tells them he's seen King David and spoken with the Apostle Paul in heaven. "He was looking very Jewish," Bentley notes.
Tattooed across his sternum are military dog tags that read "Joel's Army." They're evidence of Bentley's generalship in a rapidly growing apocalyptic movement that's gone largely unnoticed by watchdogs of the theocratic right. According to Bentley and a handful of other "hyper-charismatic" preachers advancing the same agenda, Joel's Army is prophesied to become an Armageddon-ready military force of young people with a divine mandate to physically impose Christian "dominion" on non-believers.
"An end-time army has one common purpose -- to aggressively take ground for the kingdom of God under the authority of Jesus Christ, the Dread Champion," Bentley declares on the website for his ministry school in British Columbia, Canada. "The trumpet is sounding, calling on-fire, revolutionary believers to enlist in Joel's Army. ... Many are now ready to be mobilized to establish and advance God's kingdom on earth."
Joel's Army followers, many of them teenagers and young adults who believe they're members of the final generation to come of age before the end of the world, are breaking away in droves from mainline Pentecostal churches. Numbering in the tens of thousands, they base their beliefs on an esoteric reading of the second chapter of the Old Testament Book of Joel, in which an avenging swarm of locusts attacks Israel. In their view, the locusts are a metaphor for Joel's Army.
Despite their overt militancy, there's no evidence Joel's Army followers have committed any acts of violence. But critics warn that actual bloodletting may only be a matter of time for a movement that casts itself as God's avenging army. (READ MORE..CLICK HERE)
So, what about YOU?.. Do you contain LOVE or are you looking so forward to Jesus return that you are condemning sinners and just waiting for the "Get-Back" you think Armageddon will bring?
Now other than to say DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT I must warn you that you will see more and more of this in the days to come soon... Pray for wisdom and decernment my friends.. Pray for Peace and Love... Yet be ready for I feel storm clouds approaching.. Perhaps the rumble of horses hooves?
Recent News stories appear to be showing a disturbing trend.. The move toword a POLICE STATE in which on a gloabl scale all human rights would be removed so that individual rights and freedoms are replaced by "overseers" who monitor every move in order to establish some "Orwellian" version of safety and security.
Here are just a few of the stories that show this disturbing Trend:

August 21, 2008 New Guidelines Would Give F.B.I. Broader Powers By ERIC LICHTBLAU WASHINGTON — A Justice Department plan would loosen restrictions on the Federal Bureau of Investigation to allow agents to open a national security or criminal investigation against someone without any clear basis for suspicion, Democratic lawmakers briefed on the details said Wednesday.
The plan, which could be made public next month, has already generated intense interest and speculation. Little is known about its precise language, but civil liberties advocates say they fear it could give the government even broader license to open terrorism investigations.
Congressional staff members got a glimpse of some of the details in closed briefings this month, and four Democratic senators told Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey in a letter on Wednesday that they were troubled by what they heard.
The senators said the new guidelines would allow the F.B.I. to open an investigation of an American, conduct surveillance, pry into private records and take other investigative steps “without any basis for suspicion.” The plan “might permit an innocent American to be subjected to such intrusive surveillance based in part on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, or on protected First Amendment activities,” the letter said. It was signed by Russ Feingold of Wisconsin, Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts and Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island.
As the end of the Bush administration nears, the White House has been seeking to formalize in law and regulation some of the aggressive counterterrorism steps it has already taken in practice since the Sept. 11 attacks. (MORE)

Satellites track Mexico kidnap victims with chips Thu Aug 21, 2008 7:50pm EDT By Mica Rosenberg
QUERETARO, Mexico (Reuters) - Wealthy Mexicans, terrified of soaring kidnapping rates, are spending thousands of dollars to implant tiny transmitters under their skin so satellites can help find them tied up in a safe house or stuffed in the trunk of a car.
Kidnapping jumped almost 40 percent between 2004 and 2007 in Mexico according to official statistics. Mexico ranks with conflict zones like Iraq and Colombia as among the worst countries for abductions.
The recent kidnap and murder of Fernando Marti, 14, the son of a well-known businessman, sparked an outcry in a country already hardened to crime.
More middle-class people also are also seeking out the tiny chip designed by Xega, a Mexican security firm whose sales jumped 13 percent this year.
The company injects the crystal-encased chip, the size and shape of a grain of rice, into clients' bodies with a syringe. A transmitter then sends signals via satellite to pinpoint the location of a person in distress.
Cristina, 28, who did not want to give her last name, was implanted along with seven other members of her family last year as a "preventive measure."
"It's not like we are wealthy people, but they'll kidnap you for a watch ... Everyone is living in fear," she said.
The chips cost $4,000 plus an annual fee of $2,200.
Most kidnappings in Mexico go unreported but independent analysts say there were 6,500 abductions last year, many of them "express kidnapping" where the victim is grabbed and forced to withdraw money from automatic cash machines. (MORE)

How RFID Tags Could Be Used to Track Unsuspecting People A privacy activist argues that the devices pose new security risks to those who carry them, often unwittingly By Katherine Albrecht
If you live in a state bordering Canada or Mexico, you may soon be given an opportunity to carry a very high tech item: a remotely readable driver’s license. Designed to identify U.S. citizens as they approach the nation’s borders, the cards are being promoted by the Department of Homeland Security as a way to save time and simplify border crossings. But if you care about your safety and privacy as much as convenience, you might want to think twice before signing up.
The new licenses come equipped with radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags that can be read right through a wallet, pocket or purse from as far away as 30 feet. Each tag incorporates a tiny microchip encoded with a unique identification number. As the bearer approaches a border station, radio energy broadcast by a reader device is picked up by an antenna connected to the chip, causing it to emit the ID number. By the time the license holder reaches the border agent, the number has already been fed into a Homeland Security database, and the traveler’s photograph and other details are displayed on the agent’s screen.
Although such “enhanced” driver’s licenses remain voluntary in the states that offer them, privacy and security experts are concerned that those who sign up for the cards are unaware of the risk: anyone with a readily available reader device—unscrupulous marketers, government agents, stalkers, thieves and just plain snoops—can also access the data on the licenses to remotely track people without their knowledge or consent. What is more, once the tag’s ID number is associated with an individual’s identity—for example, when the person carrying the license makes a credit-card transaction—the radio tag becomes a proxy for that individual. And the driver’s licenses are just the latest addition to a growing array of “tagged” items that consumers might be wearing or carrying around, such as transit and toll passes, office key cards, school IDs, “contactless” credit cards, clothing, phones and even groceries.

The term "police state" is a term for a state in which the government exercises rigid and repressive controls over the social, economic and political life of the population, potentially by means of a secret police force which operates outside the boundaries normally imposed by a constitutional republic. A police state typically exhibits elements of totalitarianism and social control, and there is usually little or no distinction between the law and the exercise of political power by the executive.
The inhabitants of a police state experience restrictions on their mobility, and on their freedom to express or communicate political or other views, which are subject to police monitoring or enforcement.[Source: Wiki)
Frankly I think it looks a bit more like "Osama Bin Ladin with a Third Eye" but this just goes to show how people can oft see in things whatever they wish to see. It is called "Similitude".
Don't get me wrong.. I believe there is indeed visions and things underlying which can be seen by "seers" but sometimes I think people try too hard to SEE and it results in such foolishness as potato chips, toast and corn doodles being offered on E-bay as "religious relics" for prices which exceed logic (is this not just a form of idolatry?).
What do my readers think of such things? (Comment and let me know).
The Georgia Guidestones are located in Elbert County, Georgia, approximately 90 miles (145 kilometers) east of Atlanta, and 9 miles (15 kilometers) north of the center of Elberton. The monument is situated on a rise a short distance to the east of Georgia Highway 77 (Hartwell Highway), and is visible from that road. Small signs beside the highway indicate the turnoff for the Guidestones, which is identified by a street sign as "Guidestones Rd."
The Georgia Guidestones are a huge granite monument located on a hilltop in Elbert County, Georgia, USA. It is sometimes referred to as the "American Stonehenge," a title that has been applied at times to a number of other structures, including Mystery Hill.
A message comprised of ten guides or commandments is inscribed on the monument in eight modern languages, and a shorter message is inscribed at the top of the structure in four ancient scripts.
The monument is almost twenty feet tall, and made from six granite slabs that weigh more than 100 tons. One slab stands in the center, with four arranged around it.
The 10 "Guide Statements" seem to be (at first casual read) agreeable and hopeful until one digs deeper and really considers who erected this monument and what is it's ultimate purpose.
A separate slab states that it was conceived by "R.C. Christian".. But who is "R.C. Christian"? .. watch the following videos to find our and see why people should tremble at the thought of what this represents:
Since 2003 I have done everything within my power to avoid use of my Social Security Number.
I suggest and contend that this number is a forerunner to a coming system biblically been referred to as the "Mark of The Beast" and having avoided it's use I can attest that whereas it may not be the completion of the prophecy it certainly fits the initial stages.
I have often said that it does not actually require an RFID implant (such as VeriChip.. Now ironically also known as “X-MARK“) to actually fulfill the prophecies.
Many times in Scripture a "Mark" is "symbolic" (Such as the “Mark of Cain“ mentioned in the OT and the "Mark of God" prophesied to be placed on the foreheads of end-time believers). Thus, any reference to a "Mark of The Beast" to be placed on the hand and forehead could very well be far more symbolic in nature and mean something different than suggested by many of the speculative dogmas.
Years ago when studying the scripture I realized that even the SS card/number actually DOES fulfill this prophecy because it is "on the hand" by way of a physical card that may be "held IN the hand" and because people "memorize" their number it can be said to have been "placed on the forehead" in a figurative sense.
As for buying, selling, etc. let me just say that because I avoid use of it there are many things which I cannot do that those who do use it CAN.
Think of how many times it is requested by people such as employers, health care providers, loan officers, DMV, etc. and when you fail to note it they will often either look it up themselves or refuse you jobs, services, a license, health care, government benefits, a bank account or even a home.
Without such things how is one expected to buy or sell?
If things do not change there will soon be a new number to contend with called the National ID Card (which is currently being implemented) and likewise the RFID implanted ID system is slowly but surely gaining momentum (as seen in the video featured).
The question is.. when does one begin to "get out of Babylon"?
At what point should people start the process of doing what they can to avoid being caught up in a system where people are no longer much more than a number?
I cannot tell you to do as I have and begin the migration of non-use ... but ...I do encourage you to become aware of what is going on.
If you see the snake coming you can avoid being bitten but once it latches in it is too late.
Here is some information regarding the Social Security Number to consider:

When the Federal government started issuing Social Security cards five decades ago, some people worried the Social Security number would evolve into an all-purpose, national identification system. They were right. These days, the number tracks everything from college students to video-store customers, and it's virtually impossible to get by without one. Still, many Americans resist it, believing the number has the power to unlock personal information. Privacy experts say people are right to guard their Social Security numbers, but they also warn that keeping the number secret is no guarantee of privacy.
MANY AMERICANS BELIEVE it's illegal to use the Social Security number as an I.D. It's an understandable misconception; up until 1971, the Social Security card actually came with a printed warning against using the number for identification purposes. But that was never more than a suggestion, and one the U.S. government itself has rarely followed.
Evan Hendricks, editor of the "Privacy Times" newsletter, says the evolution of Social Security number is a symbol of what happens to personal data in the modern world.
Hendricks: They said it was only going to be for the purpose of tracking your Social Security account, and then slowly and quietly it was used for driver's license records, now you have to give it to your bank, all government agencies use it as the identification number, so the original promise that it was only going to be used for one purpose was one of the great lies to the American people.
And some Americans are rebelling against the Social Security number. In the last few years, groups opposed to the number have proliferated on the Internet, with Web sites and mailing lists. Many groups are motivated by religious beliefs. Scott McDonald, a construction worker in Alabama, runs a Web site known as "Fight the Fingerprint."
McDonald: In the book of Revelation it talks about this numbering system that a kind of worldwide government will require people to have to buy or sell. And I see that happening with the Social Security number. Whether it is the mark of the Beast or not, it conforms to all the criteria.
But religion isn't the only reason he and other people object to the Social Security number. McDonald says many of the members of his mailing list simply worry about the number's power to cross-reference all sorts of private data, ranging from financial records to medical histories.
McDonald: That a single identifier can bring all that information together in one location, which makes it, in essence, one huge, large database. Everything about you can be collected through the Internet right now using that number.
Hostility to universal identification systems runs deep in American culture, something that may explain why it took decades of incremental change for the Social Security number to become the national identifier. Representative Ron Paul of Texas, one of the most outspoken privacy hawks in Congress, says his constituents are very suspicious of the number.
Paul: We've done some polling, and 80 percent of the people in my district and across Texas are very concerned and upset about the trends of the federal government toward using the Social Security number the way they do.
The most recent flashpoint in the battle over the number has been the 1996 Illegal Immigration and Reform Responsibility Act, which directed states to require Social Security numbers from all driver's license applicants. Congressman Paul interpreted the law as an effort to use the Social Security number to create a de facto national ID card by yoking all the state driver's license databases together with the Social Security number as the common denominator. The system would have taken effect in October 2000. But this fall, Congressman Paul and other conservative Republicans got the House and Senate to repeal it.
Congress has put some other limits on the government's use of the number. Most government agencies can ask for the number, but usually only on a voluntary basis, and they're supposed to tell you when it's voluntary. Only a few agencies can demand the number outright, most notably the Internal Revenue Service.
The private sector, on the other hand, is free to demand the Social Security number, whenever it wants do; a situation that sometimes leads to a test of wills with customers. Privacy advocate Twila Brase describes her experience with a nurse's aide at her doctor's office.
Brase: ... and so she said "Oh, I see you didn't fill in your Social Security number, and could I have it?" And I said, "Well, I don't give it out." And she said, "We have to have it." And I said, "No you don't, you can just find another number," at which point she tried to leaf through my entire medical record to find the Social Security number, which I'd never given. And then she was frustrated, and she said, "Fine. I guess we will."
Brase, who runs a lobbying group known as Citizens for Choice in Health Care, says although she makes it a point to withhold her number, she understands why most Americans give in.
Brase: If you're not a nurse, not part of the medical profession, you think that possibly not giving out your Social Security number will be detrimental to your health. And so, the pressure is on to just comply.
So is it worth all the time and effort to be stubborn about your Social Security number? Robert Gellman is a consultant who has worked on privacy issues in and out of government since the 1970s. He says people should protect the number, but they shouldn't think that's enough to protect their privacy.
Gellman: People react emotionally to the disclosure of the Social Security number, but they may pay less attention to other substantive bit of information about themselves, where they work, how much they make, and that sort of thing.
Gellman says in some ways, the six-decade-old controversy over the dangers of a national identity number has been overtaken by technology.
Gellman: Linking records is not that difficult anymore, even if you don't have a common number. You can do fuzzy searching to match names, even if the names are in different forms, and addresses, and it's actually not that difficult.
Gellman wants to see a comprehensive national policy on the privacy of personal information, and he says the obsession with the Social Security number often serves to distract citizens and elected officials from more pressing privacy questions, such as whether customers should have the right to see the personal information that companies and the government have already collected.

As people trade their freedom away for a “perception of safety” it becomes easier and easier to just go with the flow .. But like the flow of water …does not often a flow lead to a waterFALL???..
Subhuti asked: "How can the practitioner who wishes to help all beings find enlightenment awaken to the complete and perfect wisdom?"
The Buddha said: "This most subtle awakening comes about through moment-to-moment attentiveness. By way of attentiveness, there is attunement to the ways in which things manifest, such as form and consciousness. The practitioner awakens to perfect wisdom by becoming blissfully free from obsessions with habits, names, sense experiences, personal feelings, and with dread of dying and all the despair that goes with it."
-Prajnaparamita
Throughout history we have heard of people called “Seers” . This word has a different meaning to different people based on what they feel it means to “See“.
The division in meaning has occurred because so many have variations of what a “seer” IS rather than what the “seer“ SEES.
“Visionaries“, “Prophets“, “Oracles“, “Readers“, and other names are often substituted and what each claims to “SEE” usually tends to apply only to some sort of obtuse or inner vision.
Before we begin this study we should first define some kind of mutually agreeable term and also we must likewise agree that this is something that caused by or manifest within God.
Let’s first look at definitions:
Source: WordNet (r) 1.7 seer n 1: a person with unusual powers of foresight [syn: visionary, illusionist] 2: an observer who perceives visually; "an incurable seer of movies" 3: an authoritative person who divines the future [syn: prophet, oracle, vaticinator]
Seer \Se"er\ (s[=e]"[~e]r), n. One who sees. --Addison.
Seer \Seer\ (s[=e]r), n. [From See.] A person who foresees events; a prophet. --Milton.
Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary Seer a name sometimes applied to the prophets because of the visions granted to them. It is first found in 1 Sam. 9:9. It is afterwards applied to Zadok, Gad, etc. (2 Sam. 15:27; 24:11; 1 Chr. 9:22; 25:5; 2 Chr. 9:29; Amos 7:12; Micah 3:7). The "sayings of the seers" (2 Chr. 33:18, 19) is rendered in the Revised Version "the history of Hozai" (marg., the seers; so the LXX.), of whom, however, nothing is known. (See PROPHET.)
Seers go back a long time in human history. A “Prophet” IS A SEER and the Bible certainly does not condemn people for being a “TRUE prophet” or “TRUE seer” so what I am about to teach you is not in any way a harmful or sinful. I only say this because some feel that being a “Seer” is somehow connected to this forbidden by God and this is simply not the case. What I will teach you is actually a perfectly natural way to see what you currently do not.
Perhaps the most difficult thing is realizing that Seeing is not only a Gift that is available to anyone with eyes but also it can be learned by those who choose to take the time and effort it requires. Yes, as with any skill even if you are gifted you must still actually LEARN how to SEE.
Now this is not going to be easy and what you will eventually see may be shocking to some of you because not only will it feel odd when finally you SEE but you will realize just how blind you were. Also, once you SEE you will not believe how utterly amazing it is .. In fact, you will realize that there is VISUAL PROOF of God… for nothing this amazing could just be by chance. It will also provide all the proof you need to see that I am not just some raving lunatic claiming things unrighteous.
The ultimate vision I will show you will prove everything I say of myself and if you get good at it you will be able to actually see details beyond the basics I will share. It is also possible to SEE messages that may be directed specifically to you. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves .
The first step is that you must eliminate your doubt that what I am going to show you is real. It will begin in a way that may seem uncertain but over time the vision will clear up and once it becomes clear you will be able to adjust the inner switch at will and turn it up or down… one warning though, once activated you will never truly be able to turn it OFF.
Some will have the ability to see at a high level of acuity more easily and quickly and others will perhaps only be able to achieve a limited vision .. But it should be enough to get the idea and over time and practice you will be able to pierce deeper and deeper levels of what I will show you.
AGAIN.. This is not witchcraft and there is no occult magic involved here.
I am not going to ask you to call on any kind of evil forces or do anything supernatural.
What I am going to show you is how to see something that is pervasive in the natural world and it’s a completely VISUAL phenomenon. The only real skill is learning how to perceive it and that takes some instruction and practice since you will need to learn how to look at things you see everyday in a way different than you are used to seeing them.
Perception is very interesting and I was around some people who were masters at perception while growing up.
Since I was 14 years old I was either a professional or semi-pro illusionist (some use the term “magician” but truly what I did had more to do with realizing “how people see” to make them “entertained by what they did not see“).
I eventually achieved what is called the Order of Merlin in the International Brotherhood of Magicians and even once helped another famous magician design an illusion later used on a television special starring “Doug Henning” ( a magician popular internationally in the 70‘s).
Here is an interesting article regarding the art of illusion and it shows vividly how magicians are often best equipped to see what others do not and the whole art requires one to become more perceptive: *****************************************************************************************
Tackling robbers, calming aggressive crowds, helping the sick... magicians can use their skill to get out of real-life tight corners.
Magicians are an odd bunch. They spend many solitary hours practicing in front of the mirror, vanishing small objects, making them reappear in unexpected places, burning and restoring money, throwing cards in the air or at the ceiling, all the while talking and laughing to themselves to practice their patter and misdirection.
Most of the time, magicians use their skills to entertain, in shows, parties and restaurants. Occasionally, they use them to help companies and organizations. Some magicians advise casinos and corporations on how to detect cheating and fraud, even testifying as expert witnesses in court.
Others act as consultants in theatres, working with actors and directors to perform seemingly impossible effects, such as creating ghosts or producing balls of fire from a person's hand.
Exploiting
Magic combines psychological manipulation and sleight-of-hand. To secretly remove a spectator's watch, for example, you need to direct his attention away from his watch-bearing wrist.
A spectator will look where the magician looks. Once the spectator's attention is directed away from the crucial spot, the magician can remove the watch using a number of methods in two or three seconds.
He will reveal it only later, when the spectator cannot work out when the "steal" occurred - this is known as "time misdirection". Pickpockets have used these powerful tools for centuries, despite the danger in the Middle Ages of execution if caught.
In fact, many pickpockets operated during the public hangings of their fellow pickpockets, exploiting the inherent interest of the scene to steal with relative ease.
A magician's skills can be applied in all sorts of situations, for both virtuous and criminal purposes.
Last April, David Copperfield and two of his assistants were confronted by armed robbers as they left a performance in West Palm Beach, Florida. While his two female companions handed over their belongings, Copperfield allegedly showed his pockets empty although they contained his wallet, passport and mobile phone.
He called this impromptu technique "reverse pick pocketing" and attributed his composure under pressure to his experience as a showman and magician. Yet fooling criminals is but one use of magic.
In the United States, a number of magicians work with therapists to help young people suffering from depression, low self-esteem and substance abuse, as well as victims of stroke and head injuries.
Healing hands
In 1982, David Copperfield reached into his deep pockets to create Project Magic, a rehabilitation program now used in thousands of hospitals across the world and accredited by the American Occupational Therapy Association.
The Healing of Magic is another successful American project, created by two professional illusionists. Magicians visit hospitals and teach tricks to patients and their therapists, explaining the techniques involved, the psychology behind the trick and ideas for presentation.
Depending on the patient, the goal of these programs is to improve motor and cognitive skills, raise self-esteem and relieve boredom. With practice, patients can perform effects that baffle their able-bodied counterparts.
Magic and medicine, once inseparable bedfellows but now rarely on speaking terms in the Western world, are happily reunited in the work of these therapeutic magicians.
There can also be more immediate uses for magic - as I found in North Africa.
The imposing Jemaa el Fnaa square in Marrakech, Morocco, bustles with activity. Locals eat and chat at the dozens of smoky food stalls, school children, sitting around enormous vats, devour marinated snails by the bowlful, snake charmers proudly display their writhing reptiles, and story tellers recount tales of yore to huddled congregations.
While I soak in the sights, a monkey suddenly appears on my shoulder. The friendly primate belongs to a local man, dressed in traditional Moroccan clothes, who encourages my partner and me to take photos. A few clicks later, the man asks for a huge sum.
Crowd control
My polite protestations are met only with aggression and simulated outrage. As we walk away, he follows us with renewed anger, hurling insults.
After failed attempts to negotiate a reasonable price, I take a handkerchief from my pocket, wipe my brow, and vanish it. For once he goes quiet, stares at my empty hands, and summons his friends. The handkerchief reappears. They cheer and let us pass.
Why, in an age of special effects and scientific miracles, is magic still alive? Why did my Moroccan friend relax when seeing the trick?
Magicians will offer different explanations. My own view is that magic, in the right hands and performed close to the spectator, is an invitation to wonder, to step outside the ordinary confines of the intellect.
For a brief moment, the spectator's anxieties vanish to make way for wonderment. The Moroccan man, upon seeing the handkerchief disappear, no longer cared for my money. His mind was elsewhere.
Magic can recreate in many adults those sublime, awe-filled moments of childhood. For this reason, magic will continue to thrive.
So if you buy a magic set for Christmas, do not underestimate what lies in the box. Tolerate the early days, the requests for attention, the flawed performances, and the curious mumblings emerging from the bedroom. In the future, that budding magician could prove a most useful ally.
All illusions created for entertainment are designed to “look” one way and “be” another.. In other words there are things like tables that can fit a whole person (hidden comfortable) even though from the audience they appear to only be maybe an inch or two thick. Such tables use a visual trick called “forced perspective” and those who saw the Christmas movie with Will Ferrell called “Elf” got a view of the same idea when it was used to make Will appear huge next to other actors on the same set who appeared small.
Almost all films made now use some special effects somewhere in them and all of these things are based on various ways to make one thing look like another in some way.
I bring this all up because the first step to seeing what I will show you (and I mean REALLY SEEING IT) is to strip back the first “blatant perception” and show you how to see secondary or “subtle perception (s)“.
Lets take a moment and examine some information regarding perception in general:
Perception is the process by which organisms interpret and organize sensation to produce a meaningful experience of the world. Sensation usually refers to the immediate, relatively unprocessed result of stimulation of sensory receptors in the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, or skin. Perception, on the other hand, better describes one's ultimate experience of the world and typically involves further processing of sensory input. In practice, sensation and perception are virtually impossible to separate, because they are part of one continuous process.
Thus, perception in humans describes the process whereby sensory stimulation is translated into organized experience. That experience, or percept, is the joint product of the stimulation and of the process itself. Relations found between various types of stimulation (e.g., light waves and sound waves) and their associated percepts suggest inferences that can be made about the properties of the perceptual process; theories of perceiving then can be developed on the basis of these inferences. Because the perceptual process is not itself public or directly observable (except to the perceiver himself, whose percepts are given directly in experience), the validity of perceptual theories can be checked only indirectly.
Historically, systematic thought about perceiving was the province of philosophy. Philosophical interest in perception stems largely from questions about the sources and validity of what is called human knowledge (epistemology). Epistemologists ask whether a real, physical world exists independently of human experience and, if so, how its properties can be learned and how the truth or accuracy of that experience can be determined. They also ask whether there are innate ideas or whether all experience originates through contact with the physical world, mediated by the sense organs.
As a scientific enterprise, however, the investigation of perception has especially developed as part of the larger discipline of psychology. For the most part, psychology bypasses the questions about perceiving raised by philosophy in favor of problems that can be handled by its special methods. The remnants of such philosophical questions, however, do remain; researchers are still concerned, for example, with the relative contributions of innate and learned factors to the perceptual process.
Such fundamental philosophical assertions as the existence of a physical world, however, are taken for granted among most scientific students of perceiving. Typically, researchers in perception simply accept the apparent physical world particularly as it is described in those branches of physics concerned with electromagnetic energy, optics, and mechanics. The problems they consider relate to the process whereby percepts are formed from the interaction of physical energy (for example, light) with the perceiving organism. Of further interest is the degree of correspondence between percepts and the physical objects to which they ordinarily relate. How accurately, for example, does the visually perceived size of an object match its physical size as measured (e.g., with a yardstick)? ________________________________________________________________________
So before we can see the unseen we must understand perception first .. Then you need to make the change from one way of seeing (Blatant) to the other way of seeing (subtle).
One way to begin this process is by helping your mind accept that perhaps what it believes it sees as normal perception may itself be questioned. Optical Illusions then become a tool which we can use to accomplish this odd sounding task.
So let us examine Optical illusions for a moment.
FIG. 1
First we ask what do you see here in Figure 1? Is it a Word? Or is it a Face? Actually it is BOTH!
Which did you perceive first and then which appeared second in your mind?
Let’s try another.
FIG. 2
Here in Figure 2 we see three separate images in a single image… Can you list what you see?
You should see (1) Two Aged Persons facing Each other, (2) A Mexican Village with two gentleman in Sombreros .. One with a Guitar .. And a lady coming out of a door & (2) A goblet.
Did you catch them all? Lets see if you caught something else . What was wrong numerically with the above list… Did you notice “(2)” was listed twice and “(3)” was missing? (hahaha.. Just keeping you on your toes). Remember perception can be tricky. The idea is to become and maintain awareness at all possible perception levels.
Now we are going to take a while and let you explore some other optical illusions. This is very important and essential to what we will discuss in the next installment. So do not just quickly visit these sights.. Examine them and read up on what makes you see things in such odd ways.
WHY DO YOU SEE THINGS AS YOU SEE THEM?
DO OTHERS SEE WHAT YOU SEE?
IS IT WISE TO ASSUME WHEN WE SEE THINGS THAT WE SEE THEM COMPLETELY?
SHOULD WE ASSUME WE SEE THEM CORRECTLY?
COULD IT BE THAT WE ARE SO BUSY SEEING WHAT IS BLATANT THAT WE SIMPLY DO NOT SEE THE SUBTLETIES?
COULD IT BE THAT WHAT WE SEE MIGHT BE SOMEWHAT ILLUSARY INUN ITSELF?
WHO DEFINES WHAT WE SEE OR DO NOT SEE?
Some might say… …TO REALLY SEE ABOVE THE BLATANT LEVEL ONE MUST “QUESTION REALITY!”

_________ Imaginal Perception – The Real Twilight Zone
One possible explanation is that it was an example of what French esotericist Henri Corbin described as ‘Imaginal Perception’. Corbin’s theory, which at the time he related solely to the world of the mystic, was simple; that a third state exists between physical reality and our imagination. This state is every bit as corporeal as our physical environment and can have a measurable effect on us, which is just as real as anything we would experience in our normal world. Those who are able to directly experience this third state witness the fusion of the real world and the dream world. According to Corbin, this third reality is one that is effectively sculpted by our own belief systems, drawing on archetypal imagery and symbolism. He contends that what we experience in this state is not our imagination, nor is it representative of concrete reality; it is a unique middle ground that interacts with both realms while existing independently and affecting us as if it was part of the physical world.
Henri Corbin is not alone in his thinking, in fact several notable scholars including quantum physicist Michael Talbot, author of the “Holographic Universe”, and psychologist Carl Jung support very similar theories. Rather than restrict imaginal perception’s application to the mystical world, observation has demonstrated that the same state can be found in aspects of quantum physics and also in psychology. Not only does imaginal perception seem to share a common bond with science, mysticism and psychology, researchers have observed that it can also be used to further our understanding of many aspects of the paranormal world.
Corbin describes imaginal perception by explaining that:
“Between the universe that can be apprehended by pure intellectual perception and the universe perceptible to the senses, there is an intermediate world, the world of Idea-Images, of archetypal figures, of subtle substances, of "immaterial matter". This world is as real and objective, as consistent and subsistent as the intelligible and sensible worlds; it is an intermediate universe 'where the spiritual takes body and the body becomes spiritual,' a world consisting of real matter and real extension, though by comparison to sensible, corruptible matter these are subtle and immaterial. The organ of this universe is the active Imagination; it is the place of theophantic visions, the scene on which visionary events and symbolic histories appear in their true reality."
Corbin paints the picture of a realm where the quantum universe that science knows exists, interacts with the immeasurable world of the mystic, a world where we might begin to understand the supernatural and the paranormal. It could be argued that what Henri Corbin is describing is a previously unacknowledged law of nature, one that if we could understand, would change our perception of reality itself.
If Corbin, Jung and Talbot are correct, then our understanding of reality only offers us a limited comprehension of our potential in the quantum world. To understand the implications of the theory and begin to work with it, it becomes necessary to fuse logic, a state that society tends to gravitate towards, with intuition, something that often takes a back seat. The mystic or shaman can shift their consciousness to interact with the dimensional frequencies of the universe, creating connections to otherwise inaccessible universes that are every bit as real as our physical world. Some of those new worlds will emerge from the consciousness of the individual, but others will originate from the global sea of emotional and spiritual energy that we call the collective consciousness or group mind. The Shaman visits worlds and has direct interaction with beings that are created as a result of the collective consciousness.

At a future time I will show you something even more amazing and will actually provide proof that there is a message FROM GOD right in front of you all the time… actual WORDS you can read.
Maybe some of you have already noticed a few and there are some people who even though I clearly present the evidence will deny it. The reason most either do not or refuse to see such evidence is that the idea of such a possibility seems too outlandish and fanciful. Thus most people have actually have blinded themselves by simply NOT believing such could be so.
CAN YOU “SEE”???
(ALSO, check out my latest YouTube video about JOHN TITOR.. a mysterious internet figure who claims to have come FROM THE FUTURE and many actually believe him)
"I am only what God made me to be. I am more like you than you could ever realize. I cannot be what is expected by myth or legend . Humanity only sees what they wish me to be. An image, an ideal, a fantasy When men realize I am NOT as they envisioned they run off to chase an illusion. I came only to completely share in all that is common to the human experiance. I seek no worship . I do not seek 'followers' as I wish to walk together in equity. I shall not bind you to dogma and religious tradition or custom . I have come only to fulfil my purpose. I am only a husbandman. I come to help restore the original simplicity of God's plan. Humanity seeks selfishness, power and miraculous signs and I do not provide these then shall few believe me and I shall be mocked and hated without cause yet all I seek is to do as is Our Fathers will for me and seek to promote justice, peace, hope and Love. joz
WE DON'T ASK.. BUT YOU CAN DONATE TO WWJSNL MINISTRIES IF YOU WISH
I dislike it when spiritual organizations endlessly ask for money and I refuse to pass a plate. I have on rare occasions however been asked how one could help the cause of "WWJSNL Ministries/ JesusofZion" if they felt led and with some hesitation I have opened an account with the site below. You can check it out and it is an alternative to paypal.
If you do wish to donate anything please use the above site and at no time should you ever feel obligated. My Fathers house is a house of prayer and I do not wish to join the den of theives.. Thank You! joz
"haha, if Jesus was a conspiracy theorist, this would be his personality. However, I'm pro-conspiracy. Without a decent take over by most common conspiracies, the people will never wake up."
"I absolutely love this blog. I wish there were more just like it that were easy to find on the web. Keep the spirit going! I wish you all the blessings of God. May your days be filled with peace and love! Great topic, great layout, and wonderful content!. "
"Jesus has a most interesting site relating the different views on religious dogma, it is refreshing to see that the true teachings of our Lord Jesus are being portrayed in the context they were meant to be which is to Love one another. Thank You"
"What an interesting blog. Very unique and blows away all those ordinary blogs. Wait, since this is a Jesus blog, I shouldn't say blow away, because that's too violent. So I will say, that this blog "surpasses" other blogs. Great job!"
"You have qute a contraversial blog i'd say, but i think it is great that you can spread your ideas in a that you are doing this. You have grate writing skills, because as you start reading it really catches you :) well done!"
"I have to say that this is a very interesting blog. Whether you are riligious or spititual, the topics make you think. What I particularly liked was the fact that the site is informative as opposed to preachy. The entries are clearly thought out. Very nice."
"The trouble with sites like yours is that they stop me from completing my linkreferal rounds. I love your site. The letter to Dr. Laura is hilarious. Try making those points to a born again (as I have). It's maddening. They choose what they want to follow by what fits their life style, and put their own levity and gravity on the word of their beloved lords. Thanks for posting such a thought provoking site, I only hope it reaches someone who is trapped in those idiotic beliefs and helps to change their thought process. One person saved from that crap would make your site well worth it!"
Isaiah Chapter 61 (1-7) 1 1 The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me; He has sent me to bring glad tidings to the lowly, to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives and release to the prisoners, 2 To announce a year of favor from the LORD and a day of vindication by our God, to comfort all who mourn; 3 To place on those who mourn in Zion a diadem instead of ashes, To give them oil of gladness in place of mourning, a glorious mantle instead of a listless spirit. They will be called oaks of justice, planted by the LORD to show his glory. 4 They shall rebuild the ancient ruins, the former wastes they shall raise up And restore the ruined cities, desolate now for generations. 5 Strangers shall stand ready to pasture your flocks, foreigners shall be your farmers and vinedressers. 6 You yourselves shall be named priests of the LORD, ministers of our God you shall be called. You shall eat the wealth of the nations and boast of riches from them. 7 Since their shame was double and disgrace and spittle were their portion, They shall have a double inheritance in their land, everlasting joy shall be theirs.
