[Intro: Morgan Freeman]
As the war between light and darkness continues
Heroes and villains become harder to identify
Kindred spirits separated at birth
Fighting for their place in time to be solidified
The clock ticks faster and faster
While time runs a marathon in this babylon
But see, the end is only the beginning
The beginning of the calm before the storm
I used to dream of success, now success is inadequate
It seems the bigger I get, it’s the more they get mad at me
Cause it ain’t no rules inside this fight that we battlin’
And it ain’t no leftover scraps, you only eat if you capture it
And it seems like, in the grand scheme of it all
The world’s run by a few people and we never seen them at all
How do they exist if we don’t know who they are?
They can be you, they could be me, they could be queens and gods
Some say that we’re slaves, an alien race created us all
From a distant star, some say through evolution we evolve
But if anything, what you finna see is a change, don’t be alarmed
And whoever they are, well I think that it’s time we start takin’ charge
[Outro: Morgan Freeman]
As the mask of deception falls off the face of humanity
Unveiling the grim reality of duality
In which everyone is a casualty, no one will be exempt
Truth has many shades
It’s not a matter of black and white, but gray
Although many, we are one, so in the final analysis
Could it be that we are fighting a war that can’t be won?
The path we can take that may lead towards paradise will encompass means of governance, morality, and justice... all concluding in the allowance of freedom and prosperity, so that we may no longer be focused on survival but can now thrive as a species.
The other path, also is encompassed by means of governance, morality and justice in the forms of doctrines and dogmas... all concluding in the allowance of the suppression of freedom and prosperity, so that they will be suppressed so much as to bring about moments of revelations and reactions that are only conducive towards ruins.
The face value of these paths are so similar that it's impossible to tell the difference. At this moment you are stuck with having to make a descision, there is no longer time to try and enlighten yourself as to possibly allow you to make the correct descision.
This is then, where the following riddle comes into play:
Riddle: The Two Guards?
You stand at a fork in the road. Next to each of the two forks, there stands a guard. You know the following things:
1. One path leads to Paradise, the other to Death. From where you stand, you cannot distinguish between the two paths. Worse, once you start down a path, you cannot turn back.
2. One of the two guards always tells the truth. The other guard always lies. Unfortunately, it is impossible for you to distinguish between the two guards.
You have permission to ask ONE guard ONE question to ascertain which path leads to Paradise. Remember that you do not know which guard you're asking -- the truth-teller or the liar -- and that this single question determines whether you live or die.
Question:
What one question asked of one guard guarantees that you are led onto the path to Paradise, regardless of which guard you happen to ask?
You want to avoid global meltdown?

Definitely the wrong forum. "Global Meltdown" on this board refers to the financial system meltdown.
“It's clearly a crisis of two things: Of consciousness and conditioning. We have the technological power, the engineering skills to save our planet, to cure disease, to feed the hungry, to end war; But we lack the intellectual vision, the ability to change our minds. We must decondition ourselves from 10,000 years of bad behavior. And, it's not easy.”
~ Terence McKenna
Before you blast me for being off. Consider that both guards, when asked, will tell you the wrong door. Just pick the one they don't tell you and ask either one. The one they say is wrong is right. Not a contradiction. The esoteric is a liar. He will say his door is correct. The church will tell you the spirit. They are correct. The spirit is Christ. That's where the Freemasons (Builders who rejected the cornerstone) made their error. The church is Christ.
So I'm a play my guitar
Rap about aliens and sing about stars
Till you understand that's what we are
So we ain't got to struggle no more so we don't starve
I swear to God I love you with every bar
We all got problems that need to be solved
So while I got the mic I'm a speak my thoughts
And I'm a keep it real till the day I fall

The correct answer for the wrong question. The right question holds a hidden answer. The two guards both hold paths that lead to dead ends. One promises paradise and the other promises the stars. Only one question leads to both destinations. Death is necessary, but is duplicity if we think we can control it. Paradise comes from the struggle and suffering. Death is also that struggle. God's way is neither way. It's both.

Could you get out your confused crayon and color me that color??
I read the article, and then I did some basic (not good) research into the 7th seal.
I don't see a correlation.
I know I must be missing something.
This silence quiets heaven so that it can focus on what is about to be revealed. It is the lull before the storm. The ensuing judgments vindicate Christian martyrs throughout the centuries. The trumpet judgments repeat themselves, again and again, throughout history, just as the seal judgments do, until the second coming of Christ
