Re: The Queen of England, Her Royal Magesty, Elizabeth II.

Just for the record, my mother, who herself became a real saint towards the end of her life, and who surely lives on, in one form or another, as we as my grandmother, who, although she too may live on also I'm not equally as certain of (just kidding grandma, have mercy!) both, had a real fondness for the Queen of England.

In fact, my mother, although perhaps more out of a dutiful sense of tradition and loyalty, than an undying pure love and adoration, was streadfast in her annual viewing of the Queen's speech at Christmas time, and was seemingly always satisfied and never disaapointed with the Queen's presentation. Not once.

I was always surprised by her unbridled enthusiasm and anticipation for it, which was even greater than that which she reserved for "Jessica" on "Murder She Wrote" during the rest of the year, something I would sometimes tease her about, to the effect of "But mom, if everywhere Jessica goes and holidays, and to write her books, someone turns up dead, when does she herself become the # 1 suspect, and if so, how would she go about investigating it?" We liked to playfylly tease one another (and yes, I loved my mother dearly), so there was no offence made and none taken.

But my oh my when it came time for the Queen's speech, well, everything had to be just right, maybe with a bowl of Spamoni Christmas-coloured icecream in hand, "Shhhhh, it's time for the Queen's speech!!", she'd say, with an almost girly sense of excitement and enthusiasm, and then she'd hang on the Queen's every word, at the conclusion of which, always and without fail 100% satisfied and contended with the Queen's prognostications and concilliatory language. And my mother was SMART, you better believe it, and talk about being helpful to others, I've never seen anything like what she could do with people, as a trained therapist, marriage and family counsellor, ordained minister and spiritual director guide, as well as healer of pain within the United Church. She was reallly quite something, a very courageous door person in her own right!

It was uncanny though, but very authentic, her appreciation for the Queen, and for her regal poise, and dignified oratory. And so, if she wasn't the least bit disappointed, then how could I be, in so far as I trust my mother's exceptionally good judgement of character and "moral fibre".

So I'm not one to judge anyone, not even the Queen of England!

In fact, since none among us except we ourselves and perhaps the one who sees all and knows all, can take anyone else's "inventory", none but God alone can truly judge another, and therefore "to each their own" as they say, provided all are valued and none exluded or "shut out".

Actually, I recall one of the Queen's Christmas speeches, not sure if it was while my mother was still with me or had passed (back in '98) mentioning just that (shut out) but in the context of both the outcast in our society, as well as in relation to the circumstances of Jesus' birth, with Mary and Joseph having nowhere to go to have the birth but in a barn, shut out, excluded, informing us that "while so many enjoy the great bounty of Christmastime, of time shared with friends and family, there are many, both unseen and in our midst, who shut out, or left out, ought to prompt in us, a spirit of compassion, and, wherever possible the desire to extend a helping hand of family and friendship to those in need or who may be lonely at this time, of family, and togetherness, of the sharing of laughter and gift giving with those who are close to us, let them not be forgotten." (something like that)

And with that, I cannot agree more!

So, cheers to the Queen, long live the Queen! I meant it. It's a lot to carry, such responsibility (wherever it may begin and end).

And so my sincere prayers are with her and her family, and even that of all the so-called "PTB" the whole world over, so that if ever "push comes to shove" (God forbid!) none may be left outcast or shut out, not even those who presuming to have everything already, have no need of "more".

Heck these may be the very people we most need to have a big time "change of heart"...

After all, the parable of "The Prodigal Son" still applies, whether you have all or nothing left, may we all of us "come to our senses" and may we all come to recognize that none are really "outcast" or "shut out", permamently, and that we are (and were) all of us, to a one, an integral part of the same human family, Jesus Mary and Joseph included regardless of circumstance or of "place" in the world.


All the very best, to you, and yours,

Sincerely.

My truth? We were all beings of light . we noticed earth was suitable to experience "life" "mortality" so we shot to it. I view earth as a template. Like Microsoft Publisher comes with templates, earth's template was: dogs, snakes, spiders, fish etc. Well, Earth also came with humans. Humans evolved and were able to be vehicles for our learning.

How did you arrive at the conclusion that we are "light beings", and what is it that makes you believe this?

Everyone plays a part like in a play, a fool is someone who doesnt realize he is playing a part, he is more foolish if he doesnt realize he is playing the fool.

Wisdom is seeing the truth of all things and understanding the secret to life, realizing the fact that you are not your body but the Will.

The REAL WORLD is a domain of unconstrained and unfettered creative space of limitless possibility for the human being as an evolutionary phenomenon and a work in progress, on the path of progress towards perfection. It is the only world worth living into.

Anything and everything, and every system, power or principality which stands in the way of our individual and collective realization of that world, what might be called God's world where "God" may be considered truth and life as it really is and ought to be, is a FALLEN world (civilization), no matter it's origin, and as such it cannot sustain itself in opposition to our collectively shared human destiny, as free-will agents and co-creative historical participants of progressive change for the better.

The fruits of the bad tree are plainly obvious, and therefore, once it is recognized clearly by one and all, must be discarded and thrown away in favor of what's helpful, and not hurtful.

Anything less simply will not do.

There is no use breaking free and overcoming and inheriting all things, unless there are others to join you in the new domain of freedom and limitless possibility, and so the one who breaks free must go to any lengths, including crashing the very gate of hell as needed, to free his fellow man.

I for one feel the time has come, for what is false, deceiptful, hurtful, debased and decrepid, to itself be sacrificed in favor of what is right and just and true, and helpful and loving, and if I'm right, some people who've been engaged in the wrong kinds of things to uphold a fallen civilization "of old", built on blood sacrifice and all manner of abhorant things designed to serve, not the God of love, but a beast of prey, well they've got a decision to make, once the lines have been drawn, because only one "house" will stand the test of time, and if it isn't the one founded on what is in everyone's mutual best interest in alignment with universal principals of love and authentic Civillity, then down it will go, and oh what a fall it will have (had)!

I'm not against the individual people, just the wicked system which would keep other people down, while feeding off their energies for the purpose of domination and submission, a system of darkness, and of rites and blood oaths and the like, which has come fully to light, and to the attention of the One above all who sees all, and who is not the least bit demonic nor who can ever be demonized, a type of "framework" surely non but absolute idiots here on earth engage in supporting, having been duped by the very worst part of our human nature, or even a beast (somewhere) with a thirst for human blood and suffering and strife, born of the wrong kind of jealousy, and the lust for power, nothing more. How pathetic is that?! And if what I suspect is true, no such beast or creature even exists "out there", any more. The two-horned ram caught in a thicket was itself sacrificed. Imagine that?!

The time has come. Babylon IS/HAS fallen!

Let's get with a new program.

Perhaps that was a little clearer.

That said, you might see now why I use the frame of Christ as my central frame of reference, because in him, who went to the father (no need to reincarnate), all things ARE possible, and without whom I can do nothing.

With love for one and all,

"Forgive them father for they know not what they do."

"I ask for mercy, not sacrifice."
~ Jesus, in the role of the High Priest of the Temple of the Living God, who came (from above), not to condemn the world, but so that, through him, the world might be saved, that we might have life to the full, even to overflowing!

How is it, that we can read the weather (for the most part) and measure the heavens (to a degree), or even send out a message that can traverse the globe in LESS than an hour, and yet fail to recognize the signs of the times?

Given what's at stake, I for one, don't think for a moment, that we can afford NOT to, because things they were really starting to go to hell in a handbasket as they say, and that just will not do!

We all deserve so much more and better than that, which honors both the human being as the crowning glory of creation AND the creator of the heavens and the earth, who, however capable of great merciful love, and immense laughter, is nevertheless still capable of wrath, no matter how slow to anger, and quick to forgive and forget.

19:6 I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of mighty thunders, saying, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns! 19:7 Let us rejoice and be exceedingly glad, and let us give the glory to him. For the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his wife has made herself ready.” 19:8 It was given to her that she would array herself in bright, pure, fine linen: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

19:9 He said to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.’” He said to me, “These are true words of God.”

19:10 I fell down before his feet to worship him. He said to me, “Look! Don’t do it! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy.”

I'm not sure how to explain it, but I've also heard that great cheer in the heavens, as well as the terrible groan, and then the final cheer, along with the words "Babylon has fallen!"

Let us march fourth then, into a bright new day, with faith the size of but a tiny mustard seed, and the courage, to move mountains of historical causation. Because you see, if the likes of a wrech like me can be a part of this, then that's like REALLY good news for you, my good friends (whoever you are), BIG TIME!

Tally-HO HO HO!

And don't worry, I wasn't any more or less "bad" than the Prodigal Son before coming to his senses and embarking on the wisely chosen journey, home.

And indeed it may be said that God works in VERY mysterious ways!

Absolutely beautiful thread.

Newageman you are phenomenal, as well as some of the other posters.

Please continue to talk about any and everything, please do not let this thread die, I beg you.

Please add more insight..

*some* people have read every word and have literally cried with some of it.

Am I the only one who had an incredibly awesome and uplifting feb. 11th 2012?

Today has been nothing short of magical.

Also, newageman you mentioned the date november 2012, whats with this date?

Everything you say has meaning to it, and I mean everything! Maybe im the only one who realizes this? Your stories about "you" are really about everyone. People skimming through your words without thought miss the meaning and just believe your crazy, trust me I know this. I know you will never get discouraged in any way shape or form by negative remarks but please continue talking about whatever needs to be said...like I said....**some** people cheerish every word you type.

Love,
Me
