I Want To Do It


I have spent most of the day debating the wisdom of writing this next blog entry. And, it's not that I care about what others may think about what I say here. If you have spent any time reading through my several blogs, and my entries, you already know that I've had some rather strange happenings in my life, many of which may leave you looking askance at what you're reading.

You may even conclude that I'm delusional, or at the very least schizophrenic. Although I've heard voices (or A Voice), off and on, most of my life, not once have they urged me to do something harmful to others, or to myself.

If anything, they have given me surprising, and generally unknown information about me and the world in which I live.

For example, I was told that we humans weren't this planets first inhabitants, that there were others, who have since moved on. Perhaps science will one day discover who they were.

Another piece of information: All the continents once came together at the Panama Canal, and have since drifted apart.

And I was told, and shown, that this country was moving towards an EU type of economic cooperation (the European Union) long before the US, Canada, and Mexico began to consider a North American counterpart, and answer, to the economic cooperation that was taking place in Europe.

It is called the North American Union, complete with its own currency, the Amero, which had its seminal beginning in October of 2004, and is not to reach its full flowering for another two years, 2010. The scope of the plan was detailed in two documents: "Trinational Call for a North American Economic and Security Community by 2010 (March 2005) and its final report Building a North American Community[1] (May 2005."

I won't direct you to Internet resources discussing this proposal which appears to be a foregone conclusion, what with NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, already in place, and foundational for this new trinational enterprise. Google for more information.

I wanted a context for what I'm about to say next, the magnitude of which and the not so obvious source, might cause consternation for some.

The primary reason for my hesitancy is for those of you who may read my blog and believe that the world is teetering on the verge of some doomsday scenario. That may not be the case.

I've decided to blog about what the voice said so that posterity may use it as a reference point long after I'm gone, provided that this blog survives me, and is not deleted by Blogger for inactivity.

Finally, after a very long preface and the laying of a necessary foundation, here's what was said to me:

I want to do it; I want to do it all the time...to destroy the suffering that I see.

What was this thing that the voice wanted to do: Destroy the World.

Now, before you leap to a rash conclusion, let me give you two definitions for "destroying the world."

It could mean our physical world as we know it, and it could mean "The World" that is often referenced in the Bible, and often misunderstood, or misused. "The World," biblically speaking, often refers to the world that Jesus discusses:


John 15:19
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but
because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out
of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

John 2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in
the world. If any man love the world, the love of
the Father is not in him.

John 8:23
And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from
above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

John 12:31
Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the
prince of this world be cast out.
The world, then, is a belief that a power, a reality, and an existence can exist apart from God, the Father-Mother of All.

It's the last verse, John 12:13, that I believe is referenced when I'm told that the world will be destroyed. At least that's my hope.

It was never God's plan that humankind should "suffer". Shirley MacLaine, yes, the actress, has written in one of her books, I believe it was Out on a Limb, about how we got ourselves into this predicament.

According to her Higher Self, it was we, gods, that created All that we see--the heavens, the earth and All living things. In short, God created us, and we created everything else.

Our bodies were created as a kind of vehicle for the gods, a way for us to experience that which we had created, and a way to experience God in the lowest form of His essence, called matter.

We spent so much time within our creations that we eventually lost sight of our divinity, that we were both the creator and the creature, and became aware of the creature only.

Stuck in matter, we panicked, and this panic created Fear, and this Fear gave rise to All that which has caused our suffering--a material (matter-based) form (body), subject to the vagaries of the world--hunger, thirst, pain, illness, and ultimately death.

Karma, and Reincarnation were established as a way of allowing humankind to experience everything as a way back to the Godhead, and the realization that we're Total Love.

This is where Shirley's story ends and mine begins:

As gods with "freewill," voluntarily placing ourselves into this earthly situation, it would require someone to remind us of our True Nature as gods, or children of God, or God's offspring.

Jesus became that reminder.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
It's one explanation of how we arrived at this place on the space-time continuum, and it offers an explanation of how we might get off the cosmic wheel of our karmic and reincarnation dilemma.

As an aside, Shirley's explanation adds credence to the creationist's belief that humankind is only 6000 to 10,000 years old. Where the concept falters is in the belief that the whole universe was created during that time.

Although man (and various species of man) have existed, according to Naturalistic Evolution (NE), from 50,000 to 200,000 years ago, with Pre-humans/hominids showing up 3 to 7 million years ago, god-man may not have come into existence until recently, when he became mired in matter.

In Conversations with God, we're told that creation took place All at Once, in the Holy Moment of Now, because God couldn't wait, and from our perspective it looked like billions of years of evolution, which puts the creationist and evolutionist more in sync, making them both right regarding how the world came about.

Reading several blogs recently where human suffering has been highlighted, I'm not surprised about having received this message from beyond, as we're wont to say.

What did take me aback was the voice's revelation that it is considering the destruction of the world because, one might conclude, human misery is becoming unbearable both to watch, and for humankind to endure.

In the Gospel of Thomas we read the following:

Jesus said, "If the flesh came into being because of spirit,
it is a wonder. But if spirit came into being because of the body, it is a wonder of wonders. Indeed, I am amazed at how this great wealth has made its home in this poverty.
And we have this from the Second Epistle to the Corinthians

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that,
though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor,
that ye through his poverty might be rich.
Jesus tells us, by way of Thomas, that the spirit did not create the flesh, and the flesh did not create the spirit, and that the "wealth" of spirit was never intended to take up resident within the flesh. And that it appears to do so at all, is a cause for "amazement."

Yet, there's something we All can do to hasten the day when human suffering, and man's inhumanity to man will be a thing of the past.

It just requires the continuous devotion of a few--relative to the overall size of the world's population--to bring this about.

I have blogged about this before, and the entry may be found here. We're living in critical times. I urge your participation in this very important work of "Feeding God's Family."

We can bring about an end to human suffering, but we must work while it is day, for night cometh.

Jodi, I'm so sorry to hear about your recent troubles.

I will start now sending you my prayers.

And if it was not you that stopped by my blog page, but the authorities, they can rest assured, too, that I'll pray for them as well.

Last week at church, we were told that we are to bring heaven on earth and because we are tithers, can be use our tithes to commands things and call things, we are spirt, so when we are in a situation, we speak to it, mediate on God's word and then we get revelation.

The First Domino said...

Felicity, these are trying times for the planet.

We're going to need the spiritual support of as many people as we can gather in one place (the same state of mind, for a common purpose) to get us through the crisis just ahead.

I believe that we'll be able to do it, so many of your fellow humans have devoted themselves to the task.

Many of us are in daily prayer to bring the realization of God's Kingdom to the hearts and minds of as many people as possible.

I'm glad that you, and others in your congregation, are in accord with millions of others, as you use the power of "tithing" to command and speak to the error that abounds, with revelatory certainty that God's word is sufficient to best any situation that insists God is not the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, forever.

Hi Domino,

It may interest you to know that in the Bible, it says that before anything there was chaos and disorder and then God said, let there be.....

Starting from His utterance we can discern creations and whatnots. But there were also creations -concealed to us- going on during the unspoken, during the chaos and disorder.

Sages say "worlds were created and destroyed" in the plural.

Also, each person is a world unto himself, not sure if that plays into anything, but thought i'd put it out.

Don't feel strange. We are all in it, part of the matrix with our tid bits of information.

(hugs)

The First Domino said...

Miriam, I like the concept of a "creation" before the "creation," and that the "Let there be's..." merely gave us a discernible universe.

Do you have other information about the "concealed creation(s)?"

I agree we are a "world" unto ourselves, and perhaps a god as well.

On many occasions I get glimpses of those worlds, and realize that I exist within each one, as I usually bring back information relevant to the selves in those worlds.

I'm planning a blog entry on my Transformation blog that will allude to those other worlds, and what I do to assist my various selves existing there.

I guess I should follow up on what was said about this world, and see what I get.

The information was a little disconcerting, although I've heard it stated by others.

Miriam, the Secret Place is always honored by your presence.

re: the other worlds that were created then destroyed. Give me a few days to dig up info on that.

Off hand, I know there is this tendency to create and then destroy for the purpose of creating the "yearning".

Such as when Adam and Eve were made. Originally as one being, then split. Thus they yearn for each other and came together again -this time as separate entities -each with their own glory.

The "problem" with the worlds that were created before is that they were created with no outlets.

Here's a website that may explain it faster than I can dig up info

Here.

Its not the best, but its the best I can do in a hurry. I post best when I do it at night -no distractions.

Also take note that the top three vessels (keter, chochma and bina) never shattered. Souls that come from there....I am not entirely sure what that means.

Just keep in mind that "vessels" doesn't mean like tupperware or something. It could mean a man (in the end the ultimate vessel is the Man) or maybe dinosaurs? or something living, or not living. not necessarily a cup or container.

Miriam said...

Hi Domino,

Okay. I couldn't find anything concret -just very abstract, so here it is:

According to kabbalistic sources, during the period of chaos and disorder "worlds" were being created and destroyed. Physically what does that mean I am not sure.

But on the spiritual plan, basically God took His image and sort of zapped it into the air. From this image was man created.

As this image "descended" past various other worlds to enter our very physical world. It had to be separated. Thus kindness is not seen as one with harshness, Empathy and Domineering-ness seem different, etc.

There is a graph on the Notes blog that shows these attributes of God. The whole graph is called a Sefirot.

So it seems like a whole world of "kindness" was created, but then destroyed -because the 'vessels' could not sustain itself by just endlessly receiving kindness (please note vessels can be a living thing or truly a cup or bowl or something)

Gevurah /Din /Harshness was another world, but also, the vessels could not sustain itself just by endlessly receiving harshness.

Basically that continued down the line up to Malchut (kingship). That is the only attribute that could receive AND give back!

Thus, in those previously made and destroyed worlds, instead of imagining that graph, it was more like everything was in a straight line going down (and then one after the other, shattering). Chesed (kindness), Gevurah/Din (judgement), Tiferet (harmony of kindness and judgement- a fair balance), etc.

Finally, the "vessel" called Man was created and this could take in all the attributes into its body /being. Malchut is associated with the mouth or the womb -both outlets that can give /say back and receive.

(Another complication: each of those previous worlds had within it the whole sefirot graph. The problem that all of them had was of Malchut. Their "malchut" was not strong enough to give back. Thus they could only receive and receive, etc. Implosion or a shattering occurred.)

I hope that was understandable.

The First Domino said...

Miriam, it is understandable.

Thanks for the link to your note blog, and for the additional information.

I have only read one book that sought to discuss certain aspects of Kabbalistic knowledge.

How large is that body of knowledge?

What I read here and on your blog is fascinating to the nth degree.

I will come to it again and again to digest the information, and assimilate it into my various reference points.

When Madonna came to Israel to study the Kabbalah, what kind of information was she exposed to?

How long does it take to get a broad understanding of what the Kabbalah has to offer?

I will be checking back for updates, but will only leave a post to ask for clarification, and offer encouragement--you're dealing with some rather deep, and complex subjects.

Thanks, again.

Namaste

Miriam said...

Hi Domino!

How large is that body of knowledge?

OMG. Its very large.

Re: Madonna. I can't really tell how much she "gets". Mainly because its hard to have just kabbalah without the rest of the Bible. Plus, she doesn't seem to be 'living it' so I am just not sure about her.

I'm sure the fantasic, wowie parts she enjoys. There are alot of sexual connotations in kabbalah. I don't know her at all. Just the image that I've seen by the media, so I don't know her depth really.

re: how long does it take.

Well, I've heard of rabbis who've spent their whole lives delving into it.

You are totally welcome to the Notes Blog!

Now you've whet my appetite. I'm not sure how much of the Kabbalah I can find, but I will try several sources.

I will definitely seek out your Notes Blog for further updates.

Thanks, Miriam.
