Awen - thank you for sharing your theory with us. I know that you were reticent about posting your opinion and took a lot of time and thought
into preparing what you wanted to say. It is a shame that some chose to criticize you; however, this is a possibility whenever one authors a thread,
especially one dealing with principles involving Biblical interpretation or prophecy. These are particularly ripe for mockery because it is such a
difficult topic for most people to remain open minded about.
As for me, I could not profess to know enough about the Bible to either argue or advocate any of your specific theories but I believe that I
understand the general concept of what you are saying and can address the broader theme. As I have open-mindedly read through many of the other
poster's comments, I would ask that you all do the same for me.
I tend to look at things from more of a spiritual than religious realm but I believe that they are two synonymous words. I personally don't believe
in one all knowing deity; my belief lies in the theory of a collective consciousness that is made up of the energy of everything on earth, whether it
be animate or inanimate. I believe that this energy is all interconnected and that our separate consciousnesses are capable of affecting the greater
one if the intent or emotion is great enough and on a large enough scale. The easiest way to describe it is to give a name to this consciousness and
for this explanation, I choose Mother Earth; after all, what is nature but the collective energy of all living things. So, in my mind, the collective
consciousness is what some would refer to as God. My God is made up of energy which has both light and vibrational energies. Is it really any
mystery that the anomalies being reported around the word consist of sound (think of a tuning fork being affected by vibrations).
With that said, many have commented in the past about my signature which is a line from a song written by Todd Rundgren. I personally consider Todd
to be a genious; not just because of his talent or the innovations he has brought to his craft, but because when you listen to the words he writes, it
is evident that he is an enlighted individual. The following are the words from a song which I equate to the message being presented by the OP. I
believe it is universal and can be applied and understood on either a religious or spiritual basis:
Gaya's Eyes
Gaya's crying, can't you hear her crying
Like a whisper, oh so very soft and low
If you listen, underneath the status quo
Will she still be friends and once again
Pardon our ignorance?
Can we make ammends so near the end?
Is there no second chance?
No one hears when Gaya cries
No one cares to wonder why
Can't they see the tears in Gaya's eyes?
Gaya's crying (yes she is)
Selfish children, greedy little children
Took her loving and gave her nothing in return
Like invaders, everything is slash and burn
Count up every face and every race
That we will never see
Count the human ache we can't escape
The tears are for you and me
As her lovely green eyes
Turn black
And her pretty blue dress
Turn black
And her gentle red lips
Turn black
Everything that she has
Turn black
And is it too late?
Turn back
Is it too late?
Turn back
Is it too late?
No facts of life, no birds and bees
Can't see the forest, can't see the trees
Oh pitiful capricious lies
That hide the tears in Gaya's eyes
So do I believe it's possible that the earth or the collective consciousness (soul) which makes up the earth might be groaning? Yes I do. Do I
believe that we have long ago set in motion a series of events which are slowly destroying ourselves because we are all interconnected? Yes I do. Do
I believe there's a way to fix these mistakes? Perhaps but I do not know. Do I believe that this was foretold in the Bible? I have no idea but
respect the feelings of those who do.
What's important is that something is happening - we all feel it in our own unique way and there's really no denying it. Is it beyond plausibility
to dismiss the fact that the groaning is coming from a universal consciousness that his been toxified and stretched to the limits by human neglect and
arrogance? Absolutely, and lastly, do I believe that there is any conceivable way for us to know, with certainty, that this is the case before it is
somehow reveiled to us? No I do not.
It's part of the human condition to want to explore and discuss these types of things but we need to be able to do so with compassion and respect for
each other's opinions. Although I don't call my beliefs by the same names as you do, Awen, I can still look at them from your perspective and I
personally don't think there's much difference between what the two of us are saying.
S&F to you for sharing your opinion.
