Towards higher entropy (more chaos). Most of our technology is based on it, including our economy.

And we think it is natural - because (as the Christ said) some of us are literally children of [the god of] chaos: from that serpent/worm from "old", the fake god masquerader as the Most High.

Some people really believe we need bad to experience good - because this is the programming we are exposed to. In fact, the romanticized idea of heaven (all happiness) is off-putting to many people. They still seek some conflict or chaos to vindicate their bliss.

It depends on the thoughts of course. I am a retired nurse. I had to do some serious casting down of the thought that I could not finish nursing school.But I finished and had a long career.

Thank you for being on the front lines of physical illness and disease. The board doesn't necessarily protect nurses, so it is good you also got to retire.

We are to use it wisely, and make 'friends' by it's use while it is viable.

"Money is a wonderful servant, but a cruel master."

A little bit of leaven leavens the whole loaf. There will be a time where the decision will have to be made whether to participate in the Beast System or eat - for the sake of the Most High. Right now we can play like it isn't that bad because it isn't invasive (it is still tangible and based on debt - which is semi-tangible). When "money" goes virtual, and it is attached to your identity (via biometrics), then it willl be a matter of salvation since what you do in life will directly affect your funds. Consider China's social based system in which you cannot buy rent a place to live or buy certain necessities if your social credit score is low enough. One third of the world has undergone this (China and India); it will be in the West soon.

The less attached you are to fiat or virtual money now, the easier it will be to escape it when it becomes part of the Beast System.

My kids will have to deal with that as I will leave most of my money to them. As they are not Christians they will fall in line with the "Mark O' the Beast" if it happens in their generation.

I appreciate your directness regarding any perceived responsibility you have in this - I am being serious.

Processes in nature like hurricanes actually helps dissipate excess "chaos" in the atmosphere caused by our technology. Some of that energy is dissipated into space via EM radiation and some to Earth.

Many people don't understand this as the dissipation process is occuring at the molecular / atomic level.

They can only see the violence of nature but not the restorative processes occuring at the atomic level.

Even our shallow efforts to harness this energy is still laughably based on "increasing chaos" principle. It's the programming. Lack of imagination. Unreasonable fear of the unknown, fear of losing money.

It's already here for thousands of years.

It's plain money. Before anyone panics at a what I have just said there, read again the passages in Greek, do some cultural and historic research too.

The old tradition of putting a coin (Mark) in the forehead is worship of Mammon (the false god). The one on arm is the worship of the Roman Empire (the Beast).

In Greek, the context is to "eagerly / aggressively" receive the Mark (coin - money). That's the part that seals the fate of many.

That context is about the love of money. If you love money, then the Mark of the Beast is upon you...

This is why I keep saying that money is a major control element. It is capable of taking control of our mind and blinding us from the Truth.

You can easily observe Christians who love money, no matter how many times and how hard and dedicated they study the Bible, the fundamental teachings of Christ in there keeps eluding them.

They keep denying the supernatural aspect of God as well as the supernatural dangers that exist around us. What we don't know won't hurt us is far from the truth.

To the huge fans of conspiracy theories. There's no such thing as Illuminati, NWO, etc. It's just the Roman Empire. Always been. Those labels are only meant to mislead you from the real mccoy.

Latin is everywhere in the seats of power, wealth, and religion. Everyone is all in it. British, Americans, even the Arabs, Asia and who knows where else.

I have noticed that the sky is more blue after a hard thunderstorm. Before a storm, the sky is blue, but afterwards it is a deep azure blue. The storm wiped away all of the pollution like a windshield wiper.

Indeed. As said, some of what we call chaos is actually a restoration or correction from real chaos. As a less natural example, world markets must "correct" themselves in order to keep from imploding. Dropping 5%+ in an already/artificially inflated market is necessary in order to alleviate the pressure caused from inflation. If US markets don't continue to drop a total of 20% by August, there must be a crash.

Better to let the air out slowly than have a big blowout.

Most people will not acknowledge that they are not aware of themselves or that they do not know themselves because they cannot see themselves. But, once they are born again, they see, or become self aware and begin to embrace the new way of thinking,divesting of the old dead programming .

But it is not a snap of the fingers process. It is only the beginning of a life long journey. And even those "born again" can remain in the fog for quite some time.

True! It is hard to adjust from the old programing and embrace who we are in Christ. The Bible teaches us that we can do ALL things through Christ. Our environment/culture really pulls on us after we become new creatures with all of the rules and limitations imposed on us from birth that say we can't. My son told me something that sticks in my head when I feel challenged. He said, "In order to walk on water, you've got to get out of the boat." ^_^. I realize the story of Peter walking on the water can be applied to all of life's challenges. The Bible teaches that we are overcomers. But we have to believe we are. So,it is like learning to ride a bicycle. At first you find it hard to get your balance and sometimes you fall. But you get back on and keep trying until you learn how to stay on it. And once you get it, you 've got it :).

The Kingdom of God doesn't have any of this problem because it runs on a different "engine".

Our global economic system is deeply flawed. It's working like a cancer, literally. It cannot thrive without sustained positive growth which is largely supported by human population growth - just like cancer.

Healthy human cells in an adult would only reproduce to replace dead cells but not to increase in numbers. An increase in number is either caused by unhealthy diet / lack of physical activity, and cancer. All bad things.

A compromised (cancer) cell is fooled / deceived to keep producing more. If it sounds familiar, because it is!

Human population cannot keep growing as this upsets the balance in nature. Soon there'll be serious shortage of resources. GMO's are not reliable solution as there can be unpredictable and potentially dire repercussions.

Just like cancer, it upsets the balance in human body, making the body sick and if left uncorrected, kills the body.

But our Global economic system REQUIRES sustained population growth.

Hosea 4:6
my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. "Because you have rejected knowledge, I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.

I live near the equator. It's uncomfortably hot and humid most time of the year and we get lots of hurricanes.

These hurricanes often bring a relief of cold weather. And sometimes, they save more lives than they take for bringing cold weather relief against heat-related illnesses / deaths.

There's lots of poor people where I live and only few have access to healthcare (mostly the "upper class" only) so the cold weather relief does make a huge difference.

I get everything you are saying. But, who cares?

The ability to care comes with awareness, and awareness is a responsibility - because you cant force your reality to be a delusion (otherwise you aren't aware). So, if the world is really hell (as an example), awareness requires you to recognize that fully, not pretend it is something else. Very few people can recognize this despite the overwhelming evidence (not necessarily that this is hell, but it is at least an extreme separation from the Most High).

And, that is just awareness.


People can still be manipulative, lying, evil and predatory despite having awareness - these are powers, principalities and archons, but also "humans" that masquerade as humane, but are really predatory. They exploit the rest of us who are ignorant, and quite enjoy "playing" with the aware and self aware (because they are heavily outnumbered).

You know very few people are actually self-aware, meaning they are not only aware but they also recognize they have a specific purpose. I am not talking about a delusion, or delusion of grandeur... I am talking about providence from the Most High. So, just make sure not to waste your words if you know you are self-aware, because we have already been told that the vast majority of us will never be aware, let alone self aware.

I did not figure out on my own but got the idea from Jewish myths.

But it seems they are right based on observation of people.

So, just make sure not to waste your words if you know you are self-aware, because we have already been told that the vast majority of us will never be aware, let alone self aware.

Matthew 13:10-12
Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables?” 11He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him

And many Christians think the verse #12 is about money / material wealth!

The "Parable of the Talents" is the same thing about knowledge of the Mysteries of Heaven. These things were never written in the Bible because they can't (John 21:25)

The Bible is actually just a jumpstarter. The Bible is the ONE talent. The guy who simply buried it because all their knowledge of God was only contained in the Bible. They didn't bother to look further. It's synonymous to "boxed thinking" as opposed to open-minded.

Children are very open-minded that's why Jesus declared The Kingdom of Heaven are full of people like them.

While it is forbidden to add or subtract to the scriptures, it is not forbidden to search for knowledge elsewhere.

The Spirit of Truth will guide you into ALL Truth (John 16:13). "All Truth" is NOT just the Bible. If it is only the Bible, why not just say "...guide you into scriptures.." Saves us from confusion.

All Truth takes us back to John 21:25. All truth simply cannot be written in the Bible. There's simply not enough space to contain it in one book.

That deep azure blue is typical of our desert southwest. I served at Fort Sill Oklahoma back in the day and was amazed how beautiful the sky was there...even wrote home about it.
