Don’t lose hope. The spirit of truth, reform and progressive change is still in the air, despite all the misguided, misleading efforts to kill it. In fact, it is now more powerful and adept than it was in the 1930s and 1960s, and in due time it will prevail and bring real justice, liberation, and lasting peace.
Granted,
that's not how it looks now. And I know how difficult it is to keep your spirits up when growing numbers of us suffer from so many terrible things. I suffer many things myself. I confess I am often a man of sorrows, and I am well acquainted with grief. I find it impossible to ignore all the greed, corruption, hypocrisy, bigotry, deception, conflict, division, trouble and violence in our country and around the world. I know it has a horrible impact on most of us, not only financially, but also on our minds, hearts, and souls.However, I also know it’s really not the end of the world.
The terrible things humanity has been going through, particularly during the last hundred years, increasingly in the last fifty years, and especially during the last nine years, are like the gradually quickening labor pains prior to the birth of something very new into this world. And even though some things will end so new and better things may begin, the so-called "apocalyptic end times" idea is a myth!That myth was originally designed to scare people into obedience to the old patriarchal military imperialist "Church." In fact, that myth is part of the misleading and erroneous doctrine of preeminence and superiority that was firmly entrenched in the fourth century when it established a tyrannical "Christian" theocracy that plunged Europe into what is called the "Dark Ages."
That myth and erroneous doctrine
even survived the Protestant Reformation many centuries later, and it has justified many "Christian" military empires ever since. Granted, most Christians see past it and realize the true intent and meaning of the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. However, that erroneous doctrine has been perpetuated and is still being used to justify the actions of a loud minority of sanctimonious, militant, power-hungry, aggressive people who claim and even boast that they are the "true Christians." But they are not. In the first place, the Greek word "Apocalypse" actually means to "uncover, reveal, or unveil" the truth that has been ignored, forgotten, misinterpreted and misunderstood, and the phrase apokalupsis eschaton literally means "revelation at the end of the aeon, or age." That is what Jesus foretold. And while symbolic prophecies depict even more dramatic and dire events, literal real prophecies foretell the actual truth --- that the proud and militant hypocrites who divide humanity will be judged, exposed, rebuked and made contrite of spirit, and the humble, gentle, peaceful and "meek" majority of us shall unite and inherit this earth, save it, and vastly improve it. And my mission is to tell you why, and how. Unfortunately, most people think it rather audacious (if not arrogant or even delusional) for a man to assert that he fulfills prophecies and knows the divinely inspired truth that most of humanity is waiting for.To make matters worse for this son of man who does know, there are many different expectations regarding a Mashiach, Messiah, Kalki Avatar, Buddha Maitreya, Saoshyant, Mahdi, etc., and most of those expectations are based on misinformation, inaccurate man-made doctrines, and myths. Therefore, this man who fulfills real prophecies does not meet those expectations, nor do I claim any of those titles.
I merely say I am what I am, a son of man, of your brethren, from your midst, and only too human, but I do bear witness to the Divine Light of God, having been carried away in spirit to that high and holy place where God inhabits eternity.
That's why this son of man prays: Dear God in heaven, bless the whole world and every person, every religion, every nation, every race, and every culture, and let no one keep clinging to the misguided notion that theirs is superior to all others.
I realize many people will not yet feel that blessing, or understand why I still pray for it. That is
why this son of man has so far been rejected by his generation and suffers many things, as was foretold long ago by certain prophets like Isaiah and Jesus. Most people simply don't bother to learn what I really have to say, and instead dismiss me as a deluded fool with a messianic complex, or reject me as worse.Nevertheless, this son of man is sent to issue judgment, tell you the truth, and show you things to come. For it has fallen upon me to be the modern messenger for the Spirit of truth, by whatever name. And you can tell the message is the truth because it will ultimately empower and liberate you all, for the sake of all humanity and the earth upon which we live. Also, there's little or nothing in it for me, because rather than speak as an orator to seek power and followers, this time I deliver the message from behind the scenes, like this, so that it can be seen in a flash, like lightening, all over the world, just as the prophet Jesus foresaw and foretold.
Unfortunately, to some people the truth seems too simple or too far fetched, and to some it even seems blasphemous. But, in time it will be self-evident to all, because the truth will ultimately prevail over propaganda, falsehoods, and myths.
The truth is about how and why we shall indeed overcome and get through this ordeal. The truth is about how and why the terrible tribulation, from which so many victimized and disadvantaged people in our country and world have been suffering for such a long time, will end.
The truth is also about why it will not end until enough people in our country and world recognize and acknowledge certain crucial truths, and then muster enough courage to stand up for the kind of changes that are really needed to quell the unbridled greed and corruption, put an end to all the inequity and unfairness, make amends, reconcile the conflicts, mend the divisions, and resolve all the rest of the problems that still plague us.
We can do that. We really can. But, we cannot do it with band-aid solutions that do not treat the underlying infection. We will have to acknowledge and exercise our true power and rights, and bring about a peaceful, comprehensive reformation of both government and religion -- particularly of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
In order to take the peaceful, sure steps required to correct what is wrong, we first need to recall or realize the true purpose of our religions, and the true purpose of our governments -- because they should not produce conflict and divide us, and they should not require us to choose sides and be pitted against each other. For divided we are falling, and only when we are united will we stand together in concert.
We must have pluralism and equality of religions; there must be a Jeffersonian wall of separation between religion and government, and they should work separately to fulfill their separate responsibilities. However, government and religions should work in concert to at least unite us and produce harmony and peace. That is why the summarized message on this web site is intended and designed to provide the real reasons for how and why they clearly do not, as it has been and is now.
When enough people realize, understand and acknowledge that, then we will be able to make the changes and reforms that will unite and empower us all; liberate us from the proud and militant leaders who have divided us; establish governments that are truly of, by, and for the people, and use the common wealth for the common good. And only then will we have lasting peace and harmony, with freedom and justice for all.That is the real truth, and a son of man must tell the truth, even if it means he must break tradition, dispel myths and refute the doctrines of men, and consequently be despised by certain people.
Religious people do not yet recognize the truth because they've been led to believe in the doctrines of men who may have meant well but misrepresented God. Most political partisans do not yet recognize the truth because they think they must fight for and win power over those who disagree with them. And most other people do not recognize the truth because they think it's too good to be true.
Because of two major miracles (the first in 1971 and the second in 1979) and many minor miracles along the way that have shown me why I was called and chosen for this mission, I've been trying to deliver a message in writing for about 30 years. I've made at least a million people and perhaps many more all over the world aware of it.
I've been working on this electronic Internet message for more than seven years, so it has been a living testament, expanding, growing, and improving. But, as was foreseen, my written work has been rejected by my generation. Some people reject my written work because it refutes their religious and political beliefs. Also, I'm not what most people expected, or what many of them want. Many have been conditioned to want a conquering hero to lead their political party or nation or race or religion or religious sect to victory over those they judge as enemies, and they have been listening to political and religious leaders who speak from behind podiums or pulpits promising such victory.Unfortunately, many of those leaders have been and are spiritually blind, false shepherds (leaders), which is why so many people in the world have been divided into blind flocks and misled into conflict, and even into carnal, deadly warfare.
My way is different. I am bound by prophetic directive to not speak in public as an orator, and it is as if I am "hidden in the shadow of God's hand," as the prophet Isaiah wrote. That is why I have been serving as a messenger-as-writer for a very long time (even though at age 68 I'm still not very good at it). I am also a singer of new songs, as I have recently revealed. But I am to tell you the truth from behind the scenes, as a writer and a singer, to reveal what will actually save this planet and unite, empower and liberate humanity. I am required to deliver the prophesied judgment, show you what is to come, and refute the myths and false beliefs which have caused such conflict and division, and led people to fight and even kill their fellow man in the name of religion.
It has fallen upon me to expose false beliefs and shatter the image of false shepherds, false prophets, and the leaders of this divided "Babylon." I must point out exactly how and why the most accurate, literal, real prophecies of every religion foresaw and foretold that the humble and peaceful majority of people in the world will ultimately learn the truth, do what needs to be done to peacefully inherit the earth, reform our governments and religions, reconcile our differences, make amends, and make peace with each other — real, lasting peace.
But, I am not going to lie to you. It is not going to happen until enough people get the message. Things could get worse before they get better, because so many people are afraid and/or angry, and because many people still cannot see that lasting peace in the world will not be "won" by fighting and killing their enemies. Whether it's in the name of their religion or in the name of patriotism, they still believe they must fight and conquer those they judge and hate as enemies.Similarly, in the political arena, most people still cannot see that we will not be able to really unite, cooperate, collaborate, and achieve lasting solutions to our problems, as long as we perpetuate the conflict, division and instability caused by partisan politics and competition for the "throne" of political power.
After all, most people like winning and gaining power over their enemies and opponents. They think "It's them against us," and "We are right and they are wrong." And most people still believe they must "win the peace" by defeating their opponents or conquering their enemies, rather than really make peace as we should.
For example, many people in the U.S. and around the world are thrilled by the victory of Barack Obama in winning the U.S. Presidency. I am too, because it’s a sign of progress, at long last, and it is a step in the right direction toward unity. However, I must say that even though Obama's presidency could bring much needed change and progress, he is thwarted by deceptive, greedy, power-hungry hypocrites, and he tends to appease the rich and powerful. And, even if he has significant success, he cannot bring the lasting changes we really need, nor can he bring lasting peace.
Granted, Obama may have made it seem like the traditional partisan political system works. But, it has become apparent that he is either unable or unwilling to establish needed reforms and regulations. Furthermore, if we perpetuate this system he could be replaced by another demagogic, deceptive, militant right-wing partisan pretender who waves the flag, thumps his bible and rattles his sword, serving Mammon and the wealthiest few while claiming and pretending to serve God and Country.
That is why I suggest that we should not perpetuate the very divisive, partisan political-economic system, nor should we perpetuate the presidential form of monarchy. We should not keep the partisan political pendulum swinging, nor should we perpetuate the misguided idea that we should defeat or conquer others who disagree with us. We must realize that what we do to others will, in due time, be done to us.We need to advance, evolve and progress forward, by adopting a new way of choosing and establishing truly representative leadership and true democracy in governments that are truly of, by, and for the people. Then it will be a time for reconciliation, true peace-making, making amends, and establishing real justice and freedom.
Of course that seems impossible right now, because the people of the world are still pitted against each other and sharply divided by leaders who have aggressively competed and fought for worldly power, whether it is because of partisan politics, a dispute over land and resources, or a so-called "religious" conflict, and most of those leaders think that God or "truth" is on their side. But, even though some are more correct than others, in due time the vast majority of us will recognize the message from the Spirit of truth and realize there is a far better way than fighting for power over each other.
Meanwhile, in these very difficult and hard times, and while we are waiting until enough people realize the truth, we need to try to keep in mind that for every dishonest and corrupt person, there are thousands of honest and good people, and that for every act of selfishness, carelessness, cruelty and violence, there are many thousands of acts of generosity, caring, kindness and love, and in many respects the world is getting better.
Nevertheless, we are in fact going through a horrible tribulation and ordeal
, which was very predictable and was in fact foreseen and predicted long ago by many wise seers, including the prophets of most religions. Most of us in this world have been suffering from many terrible things for a very long time -- including all the wars, natural disasters, disease, famine, poverty, hunger, homelessness, violence, and economic financial disasters caused by unbridled greed and corruption.But, the good news is that this ordeal and tribulation need not continue and just keep getting worse. We, the people of earth, can put an end to most of the trouble, and we can save and greatly improve our world. In fact, we can and will make amends, mend divisions, make peace, turn "swords into plowshares," clean up and protect the environment, transform deserts into new gardens, and make this world what it really should be and is destined to be.
There
need not be even more of the so-called "holy wars" fought in the name of Christianity or Islam or Judaism or Zionism, in order to fulfill prophecies. Nearly all the horrible things that were foreseen have already taken place or are even now happening, and any time now we can begin to turn things around and progress forward toward justice, reconciliation, peace, freedom, equality, equity, and prosperity for all. And that's not a pipe dream. It's our destiny.That will begin to happen as soon as this prophesied message from the Spirit of truth is no longer rejected and is recognized and accepted by enough people in the world. But, how soon that will happen may depend on humanity's collective recognition of proper and true judgment and guidance, as opposed to the false judgment and rhetoric that has produced so much conflict and division. It may also depend on humanity's willingness to acknowledge the truth from a prophetic source that is not what they expected.
Human nature is to cling to man-made doctrines and traditions, avoid change, not realize what the main problems are or do what is needed to fix them unless and until conditions reach critical crisis mode, and thus be forced to learn very hard lessons. That may be inevitable, but I hope not. I hope enough people will soon get the message so we can begin to do what needs to be done to save and improve our world, because it's not going to happen by magic.
As Isaiah wrote and as Jesus knew, besides God there is no Savior, and God works through us. So, we will save the world, by the grace of God, as soon as enough people get the message and start working together.
Now, I have much to tell you to establish that I am an authorized messenger for the Spirit of truth, and that I fulfill prophecies. For I am, to put it in Judeo-Christian terminology, a son of man, a faithful servant and actual witness of the very real God, and I bear the testimony of the Ancient One (also known as the Christ, the Avatar, the Buddha, the Saoshyant, the Oversoul and other titles), who has existed since the original human consciousness was developed, long before Abraham, and has been represented by many who have guided many folds and peoples in different parts of the world.
I serve God and the Ancient One who is with God in heaven, not to exalt or glorify myself or to seek the limelight or personal power as a religious or political leader in a traditional sense. To fulfill prophecy I will not appear in the public eye as an orator speaking in the street or from behind a pulpit or podium. I glorify God and the Ancient One, and I serve God merely as a messenger, to unite, empower, and liberate you all.
You see, even though most of the people of the world are good and humble, and many are truly faithful, some people are arrogantly proud and militant religious bigots and hypocrites who have no faith but claim otherwise. Why? Because evil loves to masquerade as good. In fact, many of those who actually commit or incite evil think they are good, and manage to find "good reasons" to rationalize and justify their greedy, divisive and destructive words and actions.
Therefore, as the prophet Jesus mandated, the prophesied message I deliver cannot be lukewarm. As Isaiah and Jesus foretold, it must deliver sound and strong judgment. And, as the prophet Daniel foresaw, the message must serve as the "stone" of truth that "shatters the image" of pretenders to their thrones, as well as the image of all the rich "globalists" who try to rule the world with their wealth, living by the sword (gun and bomb) in the name of God and Country.
The "stone" is the Spirit of truth, which I serve, and of course the Spirit of truth has been working through many others as well, which is why the corruption and errors of right-wing "neo-conservatives" have already been partly exposed, and why Obama won. But it is through this son of man that the Spirit of truth really issues judgment, guides you unto truth, and shows you things to come, as Jesus prophesied.
Fortunately, the message and judgment from the Spirit of truth is designed not to condemn, but to educate; not to punish, but to correct; and not to destroy, but to save.
But still, the stone of truth must shatter the image of all divisive and harmful leadership, both religious and political. And, as the prophet Daniel envisioned, "the stone shall become as a great mountain that fills the earth."
That will not happen, though, until enough people get the message. Meanwhile, as Jesus and Isaiah foresaw, I am deeply sorrowed by the state of the world, and I continue to grieve and suffer because so many of our fellow human beings are suffering from the terrible ordeal and tribulation we are going through. For as you do unto them, you do unto me, and also unto God, unto the Ancient One, and unto your very Self, because we are One.
When enough people in the world get the message, those who've been fighting and even killing each other will have to face the truth. Some of them have been removed from power, and as soon as the hypocrisy, bigotry and iniquity of the rest of them are exposed by the full light of truth, they will lose their grip on power. In due time their followers will learn and realize they've been deceived, misguided and alienated from others, and then we the people of earth will be able to progress forward united in common purpose, and achieve common goals by using the common wealth for the common good.
Until then, I not only grieve and sorrow over the state of the world. I am still often incensed because most of the trouble and suffering in the world has been and still is caused by the greed, arrogance, self-righteousness and vain folly of self-important men who seem to think they are great leaders. And many of the proud and militant leaders who have been or are responsible for most of the conflict, division and violence in the world make a show of religiosity and claim to be devout Christians or Jews or Muslims, when they are really not.
After all, Solomon of ancient Israel, renowned for his great wisdom, said that pride goes before destruction and an arrogant spirit before a fall, and it is better to be of a humble spirit than to join the proud and militant in their aggressive and offensive pursuit of the "spoils" of war.
The prophet Jesus, a spiritually anointed christus and enlightened son of man, sacrificial lamb of God (and a great "bleeding heart" liberal progressive), agreed with that, and he added that we should love even our enemy. He also advised against retaliation, and against living by the sword, and he even declared that the meek are blessed and shall inherit the earth. Then, to top it off, he willingly martyred himself and sacrificed his life to set a good example and culminate his teachings regarding peace, love, tolerance, forgiveness, and pacifism. He was a true martyr.
Islam's founder, Mohammed, knew and respected the teachings of Jesus, and he stated that killing is always evil, and that indiscriminate killing is especially evil. Moreover, like Jesus, he advised against retaliation and against force or coercion in religious matters, and he commanded Muslims to "be very courteous to Jews and Christians because we all believe in the same God."
Of course, proud and militant religious zealots who claim to be Jews or Christians or Muslims feel righteously justified in their actions, and in certain cases they have good reasons for that. In fact, many of them do have legitimate grievances. The trouble is, in far too many cases, religious zealots are misled by bigoted hypocrites who claim to be "The True" Christians or Jews or Muslims, even though they ignore many core scriptural facts and universal truths, and are totally ignorant of divine will and intent. They feign religiosity, preach the doctrines of men, and pray for the ears of men, but betray God and humanity.
Thus, many people are misled by misguided religious leaders who ignore or deny that the true purpose of all religions of the world is universal. After all, that is clear if you consider and understand their core teachings. In fact, you will find that the golden rule is the universal divine imperative: that we should treat others as we would want to be treated if we were them. That has always been and always will be the essential, main rule and best advice, not only because it's the right thing to do, but also because we "reap what we sow" due to the karmic consequences of our words and actions.
That universal truth is foremost among the core teachings of most religions, including Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Sikhism, Sufism, Taoism, Bahaism, and even Judaism. In fact, it is perfectly clear and obvious to all truly wise, understanding, fair, reasonable, compassionate, conscientious, charitable, loving, peaceful people of good will and real faith, regardless of which religion they follow. Furthermore, most agnostics and atheists also understand it, because it is a universal scientific fact that every action tends to create a reciprocal reaction. And, as is often said, "What goes around, comes around."
Unfortunately, hypocritical false prophets and false "shepherds" have managed to convince growing numbers of gullible people to join their spiritually blind flocks, who support them and fight in their so-called "holy crusade" or "holy war" or "jihad" against those they self-righteously judge and condemn as "godless unbelievers" or "infidels." And, perhaps even worse, their bigotry and hypocrisy have increasingly given Christianity, Judaism and Islam a bad name, especially during the last 28 years.
Therefore, I suggest that the most important question you should be asking yourself right now is this: What will really deal with the offensive religious bigots and hypocrites who have gained so much power and caused so much division, conflict, violence, destruction and killing in the world? More specifically, what will take power completely away from the proud and militant leaders who claim to be fighting holy wars in the name of Christianity or Judaism or Islam, and what will empower and raise up the true majority of people in the world who are truly faithful, humble, gentle and peaceful?
In other words: What will enable the "meek" to inherit the earth? For the sake of all humanity and the world we live in, and for God's sake, everyone should learn and fully realize the answer.
First, I tell you truly that it certainly will not be military force, nor will it be violent guerilla tactics against military forces. History and current events show us that resorting to violence and deadly force is usually vain folly. And besides that, there is no such thing as a "holy" war.
Granted, there are times when good men are justifiably forced to kill as a very last resort in order to save innocent people from being murdered or massacred or terribly oppressed and harmed. Moreover, there have been some very justifiable wars fought against tyranny, imperialism, and military occupation. There have been many examples of justifiable armed resistance, because we are completely justified in using armed force to resist and fight cruel oppression, persecution, military occupation, imperialism, colonialism, etc. We have the right to defend and liberate ourselves, whether it's from a bully in school, neighborhood gangsters, or rogue militias or regimes. And we have the defensive right to fight those who use intimidation and violence to suppress or oppress or persecute or rule over us by force of arms.
However, there is a terrible risk of becoming what you conquer or destroy. For example, we should realize that during World War II even the "good guys" abused their power in order to be victorious, believing that the ends justified the means. And, the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R. then wound up abusing their power after they virtually controlled the world with superior financial and military power (which can corrupt even the best of men, as our history has clearly shown).Furthermore, we should now be cognizant of the need for prevention in the first place! We should never again allow any rogue militias and cruel military regime to oppress their people or invade or occupy other countries. The world community, through the United Nations, should act quickly to remove them from power and bring them to justice. No longer can any leader of any nation be allowed to be above international law, or free from its enforcement. We, the people of the world, must protect and help each other, and we now have the technology and the means to do so, if we cooperate and collaborate as we should.
Nevertheless, we must face the fact that we should not kill if we can possibly avoid it, because even if it is as a last resort to save lives, it is still not a good thing. Just ask any good, conscientious person who has been forced to kill another human being in order to lawfully protect others, whether it be in police action or in war. They can tell you that taking another person's life is the most dreadful thing we can do. It is not something to be proud of, or to cheer over, but something to grieve over.
That is why the first commandment is that we shall not kill. It is why the golden rule is the overarching commandment and divine imperative, and it is why the most enlightened people throughout history have been pacifists and advised non-violent activism to deal with problems and achieve liberation. They knew that the use of violence and deadly force is wrong, especially because it usually creates increasing cycles of retaliatory violence, destruction and death, and it always produces deep, lingering hatred even after the intense fires of rage and violence burn out.
Now we must progress forward, because at this time only a thorough worldwide reformation of religions and governments, guided by the real and whole truth, will liberate us, set us free and bring lasting peace, because at this point it just cannot be "won." Lasting peace can only be made by real peacemakers who are armed only with real truth and good will, because only good can overcome evil and only love can overcome hate, and two wrongs do not make a right. Moreover, the only "weapons" of God's true servants are not carnal or lethal. They are, however, mighty through God for pulling down even the greatest stronghold of misused worldly power.
You see, in spite of the fact that religious bigots and hypocrites have given religion and religious prophecy a bad name, real religious prophecies have been, are being, and will be fulfilled. The Spirit of truth will turn the tables on the "religious" bigots and hypocrites, deliver true judgment, dispel myths, expose the false beliefs that divide us, show what is to come, and lead to reconciliation, restitution, redemption, and peace.
That is in fact what the prophesied "final victory of good over evil" is really all about, and it was foretold in real prophecies. They foretold this judgment, when the Spirit of truth reveals what has been misunderstood, misunderstood or ignored in scriptures, which has led some proud and militant "religious" zealots to erroneously believe that God would actually call for, or sanction, carnal warfare and killing. But they are terribly misguided, misunderstand real prophecy, and are ignorant of divine will and intent.Consequently, the arrogantly proud and militant "religious" extremists and zealots hate the truth and will call it a lie until they see the truth. For
God wants them to love and respect even those they judge as enemies, and not kill anyone. We are to strive for that ideal. That's why we should live by the golden rule and universal divine imperative. It's not the easy way, of course, because our individual and group egotism tends to make us feel right and superior while we judge others as wrong and inferior, and it's very difficult to rise above that. But we must, because it's the correct way and the best way.It falls upon this son of man to issue this true judgment and bring you into remembrance of the truth, because we all know it in our heart of hearts. But in spite of that, deluded, arrogantly proud, militant, spiritually blind men ignore the golden rule and divine imperative, and they do the opposite. They indulge in judgmental egotism, which is to say they play god and judge, having indulged in the symbolic "forbidden fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil." Some of them even indulge in demagoguery while they thump their Bible or Torah or Qur'an, wave their flag and rattle their sword. They not only judge, but hate, condemn, and kill their fellow man. They even kill innocent civilian men, women and children, and then claim it is justifiable as "collateral damage."
What's more, many of them and their wealthy financial supporters live in lavish luxury while millions upon millions upon millions of people in the world are desperately in need and suffer from many terrible things, including rampant and increasing income disparity, inequity and injustice, increasing poverty, hunger and homelessness, and the impact of violence and war. This is as true in America as it is in many other countries in this world of conflict and division.
Many people also suffer from the impact of natural disasters, which, as I said, are not so-called "acts of God." In fact, most are random acts of nature, caused by weather, climate changes, and geological changes, including those caused by global warming.
Most "natural" disasters are really the indirect result of man's greed, carelessness, iniquity, and even negative emotions, because this world and all life on this planet are one interdependent ecosystem. When significant parts of it are badly damaged or in disharmony or out of balance, or there is widespread human pain or suffering, it causes many different kinds of harmful effects on, around and within this planet. It is as if our whole world is like us, and when our body, mind and spirit-soul are not in harmony and well, we are troubled and suffer in certain ways.
Most of the trouble in the world is actually caused by man, not by God, and those responsible should be ashamed and contrite, including wealthy people who have looked the other way while so many people in the world suffer from poverty, hunger and homelessness. Why, even in America, the child poverty rate is one of the highest in the world, and the high rates of poverty, hunger and homelessness in America are part of its hidden shame, made even worse by the so-called "welfare reform" in 1996.
After all, even though most of the American people are very generous and want to use the common wealth for the common good, many politicians serve the interests of the wealthiest few who provide most of the financial funding for their political campaigns. In fact, in the 2000 and 2004 U.S. elections, 80 percent of financial funding for the political campaigns of both parties was provided by the wealthiest one percent of the population.
That's why things are the way they are, and it's why the wealthiest few have continued to profit so enormously, enjoy such tremendous privilege, and live even more luxuriously and palatially while the rest of us increasingly become less financially secure. And I say that not because there's anything wrong with being wealthy if you deserve it, but too many of the wealthiest few are not really deserving, and no one deserves to be as excessively and absurdly wealthy as some of them are now. It is simply not fair that 90 percent of the nation's wealth is pilfered and hoarded by the wealthiest few, and we all know it.
However, all of this was foreseen and prophesied by many prophets. For example, the prophet Jesus accurately prophesied and predicted this awful tribulation and said it would be caused by "wars and rumors of war," along with the "seven plagues" (diseases, famines, pestilence, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, and droughts) and "many other terrible things." And, sure enough, most of us suffer from many terrible things, some of which we cannot prevent, but much of which is caused by the failure and carelessness of political leadership in national, state and city governments.
Jesus also foresaw and predicted that much of the trouble in the world would be caused by false prophets and religious bigots and hypocrites. In fact, Jesus specifically said these hypocrites would "pray for the ears of men, preach the doctrines of men, and claim to do many wonderful works in the name of the Lord," when they actually "work iniquity" and are "an abomination" in the sight of God. In other words, even though they claim they are right, they are really terribly wrong, arrogant and divisive.
Jesus was perfectly and absolutely correct about that. Hypocrites who claim to be Christians or Jews or Muslims have been praying for the ears of men, preaching the doctrines of men, and claiming to do many great works in the name of God/Allah, when they have actually been doing wrong, dividing and alienating their blind flocks, and leading them far astray, even into violence and war. And as Jesus said, his testimony, which hypocrites have either ignored or not understood or rejected, will ultimately correct them.
Now, Jesus, like other true prophets, also accurately predicted that all the terrible things would be occurring prior to the divine intervention and judgment from the Spirit of truth which would come at the end of the age. That is why we should understand that since the end of that age is drawing ever nearer, the divine intervention could occur at any time now. It's not possible to say exactly when, but it could occur even before the end of the violent, carnal, lethal wars that are plaguing us and worsening the terrible tribulation most of us suffer from. For it can intervene. It can stop the conflict and violence, and it will ultimately save the world.
Because the real truth is eternal and universal, all religions will find the message relevant. However, as you've seen, the message is directed mainly at Christians because Christianity is the largest religion in the world, and it also targets Judaism and Islam, the other two of the three Abrahamic religions, because Islam is the second largest religion in the world and Judaism is the foundation of all three. Besides that, the arrogantly proud right-wing militants who are causing the most conflict, death and destruction in the world are claiming to be religious Jews or Christians or Muslims.
Therefore, it should be understood that according to Judeo-Christian prophecies, the prophesied "son of man" is a "witness" and the "servant of God," and the messenger for "the Spirit of truth." But, he is not who anyone expects. He comes like "a thief in the night," to take away myths, false beliefs, and the masks behind which evil masquerades. And his work will result in reformed economic regulation and equitable taxation that will ultimately take away the ill-gotten financial gains of many of those who've raked in such enormously excessive wealth, so that it may finally be fairly shared by the people who actually generate the wealth of the nation and pay for all the goods and services.
This seems too radical to most people, and some hate and condemn it. That is in fact why the prophets Isaiah and Jesus foresaw and prophesied that this son of man would "first be rejected by his generation." That prophecy has been fulfilled, because this son of man has been rejected. Some people have dismissed him as a deluded fool with a messianic complex. Some dismissed him as an unrealistic dreamer. And most religious people rejected him and accused him of being a false prophet, or worse. I know, because I am he, and I have been at this for a long time.
Unfortunately, people want a hero or savior in person. They don't realize why it is written in the Torah that God is not a man, nor a son of man, and that besides God there is no Savior. They don't realize that only the truth will set us free, and that it's the message and not the messenger that's important. They don't realize why John wrote that the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy, and that his words and testimony, with the modern message from the Spirit of truth, will ultimately bring judgment.
This approach is consistent with other religions too. For example, as Lao Tsu wrote in The Book of Tao (Dao): "When the best leader's work is accomplished, the people say, 'We did it ourselves!'" That's because the ideal is to provide the people with an innovative way to unite, determine their own collective destiny, collaborate, and cooperatively accomplish common goals using the common wealth for the common good.
That same idea was expressed in the Judaic "Old Testament" scriptures in the Bible, which advise us to: "Be wise and consider the ways of the ants, which having no guide, overseer or ruler, provide food in the summer and gather in the harvest."
Similarly, the Old Testament also says, "If you want a king, you reject God," for "God is not a man nor a son of man," and "besides God there is no Savior." It's true -- absolutely, positively true, as you will see.
Those who are interested in theology will learn that some of what we now find in the Christian gospels does not reflect the actual teachings or intent of the prophet Jesus. In fact, even though Jesus understood and was loyal to the greatest and most accurate preceding Jewish prophets, those who were responsible for what we now find in the Christian gospels did not fully understand the prophecies of Jesus or preceding prophets, nor did they fully understand or fully reflect the teachings of Jesus.
Furthermore, other original Christian writings by other disciples were not included, such as the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, the most beloved disciple of Jesus, who revealed more clearly that Jesus' teachings included not only Judaic concepts, but also Hindu, Taoist and Buddhist concepts. He was a truly universal, inclusive teacher.
The theology of "Christian Apologetics," which is a defense of man-made doctrine and dogma, tries to prove that Jesus did fulfill all the Jewish prophecies, or will when he "comes again," and that he was and is God "Himself." However, that theology is refuted by Jewish Rabbinical scholars and by progressive Christian and Muslim scholars, who know it is misguided and misleading. Even worse, it perpetuates the erroneous doctrine of Christian preeminence and superiority that has caused so much conflict and division. It may have been well intentioned to establish the idea of eternal reward in heaven for obedience to the church, and the threat of eternal damnation in hell for disobedience. But those doctrines of men were the ones that Jesus warned us about, and they have justified the brutal rule of many "Christian" military empires during the last sixteen centuries.
I am here to tell you the truth about Jesus, to relay and declare his true testimony, and to glorify him for what he really was -- not an idol to be worshiped, but a unique and special son of man and servant of God. Jesus was a master teacher, and the "sacrificial lamb" of God, setting a great example of a loving, peaceful, forgiving pacifist and true martyr. But Jesus was also a great prophet himself, foretelling the coming of this next son of man.
I tell you truly that there will be no "second coming" of Jesus, and it is now a big mistake to expect a holy savior-king in person. Moreover, it is an even bigger mistake to accept leadership from egocentric men who try to play savior-king, whether it's as head of state or head of religion, or head of a partisan political party or religious sect, because the worst of them are self-important and self-righteous bigots who are intolerant of any creed, belief or opinion different than their own, and even the relatively good ones are only pretenders to their "thrones."
But, the truth is that only God is the Savior and that we are all equal joint heirs to the "kingdom" to come, wherein we shall all share the thrones of governments and religions that will be truly of, by and for the people, while only the Holy One in heaven reigns as the Savior, in Spirit. And God has chosen a witness and servant to fulfill prophecy.
There is much more scriptural evidence in the message that dispels myths and erroneous beliefs about Jesus, and reveals that the fulfillment of prophecies about the "one to come" is not about the "second coming" of Jesus, nor is it about coming in person of our Lord God the Savior by any other name, because God is the "Lord of Hosts," not a host or person as such. That is actually indicated in the Bible and all religious texts.
For example, Hinduism, which some people mistakenly think is a polytheistic religion with many "gods," correctly holds that there is only one causal Source called Brahman (God), which manifests itself in multiple forms or characteristics.
Furthermore, religions like Buddhism, which view Divinity as the Supreme Consciousness and not a supreme being, are also correct and not at all atheistic. After all, even Judaic "Old Testament" scriptures in the Bible confirm that "God is not a man, nor a son of man," that "God lives in Light," that "God is Light," and that "besides God there is no Savior." And that is the real truth.
Of course, most people cannot see the Divine Light because their "eye" is not "single," as Jesus said it must be to see the divine reality that is within and at hand. But the Divine Light is actually within, above and around us all, and it is realized and brought out in those who are really spiritually reborn, who have received the ultimate gift of divine revelation, seen beyond the illusion of duality, and fully realized they are One with God and One with all humanity.
That is why Jesus said, "I and my Father are one." And that is also why he said when the "Spirit of truth" comes to you, "you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you." You will know that we are in fact One in the Spirit, and you will understand that as you do unto the least of our brethren, so you do unto me.
All truly enlightened, fully self-realized people have been given that gift, and you may receive it too. But you should know that it comes only from God when you least expect it. No amount of effort, no amount of austerity, no amount of sacrifice, no amount of discipline, no amount of study, no amount of devotion, no amount of begging to God, and no amount of intellectual reasoning can achieve it. It comes as a gift only when you "lose yourself" in some aspect of the Divine and transcend your separate-self ego, as if by fortuitous accident. That brings actual epiphany and discovery of a profound divine truth, which triggers a series of divine revelations that ultimately lead to full realization that God is the eternal, omnipresent Great Spirit, Supreme Consciousness, and Divine Light that is within, above and around us all.
I can tell you truly that when the "seven seals" of revelation and the seven "chakras" are opened, one is carried away in spirit to that high and holy place where God inhabits eternity. There one witnesses and realizes what God truly is, and the Book of Life is opened to you. One fully realizes that we are all in fact One in Spirit and thus becomes truly reborn of the spirit and spiritually "anointed" by the Holy Spirit of God. But it does not mean you are then "holy." It means the reality of God has been revealed to you, and for a moment that seems like eternity you've experienced God's overwhelmingly ecstatic love, peace and understanding, and known true cosmic consciousness. But, then you have to learn how to recognize and accept guidance from the Holy Spirit of God, and let it guide you on your path of return to God.
All avatars, christs, buddhas, siddhas, and the greatest sat gurus and sages were truly reborn of the spirit, realized these truths, and found their path of return. Most devotees and students of the greatest spiritual teachers learn the truth, at least intellectually. Cabalistic Jews learn that God is formless and yet is the essence of all form, just like practitioners of the Holy Qabalah can find that God is the Divine Light and the unspeakable primordial vibration or "Word" that was in the beginning and is made flesh in all of us.
However you perceive or conceive of Deity, there is but one Divine Holy One, which is God. Whatever you call it, and whether you regard it as one or many or all, it is still God. Every thing originated from and came out of the One, and every thing returns to the One that is God, the Source/Creator.
This is consistent with what Jesus said according to the ignored Gospel of Mary Magdalene, in which Jesus is quoted as saying that "All natures, all formed things, all creatures exist in and with one another and will again be resolved into their own roots, because the nature of matter is dissolved into the roots of its nature alone."
This is very similar to the Taoist concept of Oneness which states that "All things derive their life from it [Tao], All things return to it, and it contains them."
It is also why the great Meher Baba said: "There is no creature which is not destined for the supreme goal, as there is no river which is not winding its way toward the sea. But only in the human form can consciousness be so developed that it is capable of expressing the True Self, which is the Self of All."
However, the True Self is not our separate self-conscious ego. It's our inner soul and spirit, which knows its Oneness with God and all humanity. That is why the current Dalai Lama has said, "The message we hear from all sources of truth is clear: We are all one. That is a message the human race has largely ignored. Forgetting this truth is the only cause of hatred and war."
The genius Albert Einstein agreed with that totally, as he despised war, and he also said: "A human being is a part of a whole, called by us 'universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself as something separated from the rest... [but it's] a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness."
God is One, and we are One. And God is the omnipresent Supreme Consciousness. That's why the great Maharishi Mahesh Yogi taught that: "All life emerges from, and is sustained in, consciousness. The whole universe is the expression of consciousness. The reality of the universe is one unbounded ocean of consciousness in motion."
You see, these are truths that many great and truly wise people have realized, but which totally escape those who are egocentric and only think they are wise.
What all this boils down to is that only God is the very real Savior, but God is not a man or a son of man. The fulfillment of real prophecy is not about the coming of God "Himself." It is not about the "second coming" of Jesus, nor is it about the coming in person of a Buddha Maitreya or a Kalki Avatar or an Imam Mahdi or a Saoshyant or a Holy King by whatever name. There is now a new paradigm and covenant, and ideas that some "holy" person will come wearing such a title are merely myths, some of which are based on the erroneous misinterpretation and misunderstanding of real prophecies, and all of which are ignorant of divine intent. God wants us all to be equal joint heirs to the "throne of the kingdom" to come.
The enlightened ones who founded the world's religions and spiritual teaching orders have already given us most of what we need, and humanity simply needs to be reminded of the eternal and universal truths they taught, given understanding of what they truly mean, and shown what is to come.
There is in fact no Savior but God, the unseen, omnipresent Divine Spirit that inhabits eternity. And this time God's chosen messenger makes it perfectly clear that he is just a fellow servant of God. He not only rejects the throne as Jesus did, he rejects being in the public eye in the role of prophesied messenger. He serves from behind the scenes, anonymously, to empower all people by showing them a way to unite and establish lasting peace, true equity, justice, equality, well being, and prosperity for all. And he explains just why the Christians, Jews and Muslims who have been waging "holy war" or "jihad" are misguided and need to learn the truth.
We can and will establish justice and fairness. We can and will have peace and harmony. We can and will have religious equality and pluralism. And we can and will have government that is truly of, by, and for the people, rather than be divided and ruled by partisan pretenders to the throne. For we do not need and should not have monarchial rulers, whether they are political heads of state or heads of religion or heads of partisan political parties or religious sects.
Even though most people have thought that everything will be alright now that Americans have elected a good, fair, conscientious, democratic head of state, I must say they are naive and short-sighted. The partisan political pendulum always swings from right to left to middle and then back to the right again. It may swing slowly when a good leader wins and holds power for awhile, but it usually swings from one side to the other in about seven years, because those who win power over others usually abuse it.
Right-wing demagogues are the worst, because they have the most financial backing and are advised by the most cunning and devious minds that money can buy. And they become very adept at gaining power when the political climate enables them to deceive and fool enough people by thumping their bible, waving their flag, and rattling their sword. After all, that's why America and the world have been so badly impacted during the last 28 years since they've gained and wielded so much power.
Granted, liberal progressive politicians with truly democratic ideals are far better, but they are in fact merely the "lesser of two evils." They too divide us. Even though Barack Obama is the least partisan and most fair president the U.S. has had for a long time, he is still a politician who does what is politically expedient, and he is a partisan politician who can be replaced by a worse, more divisive one. That is why we must progress beyond destabilizing, polarizing partisan politics, and free ourselves from those who divide us as they compete and fight for the throne of sovereign presidential power. After all, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, as was so obvious by the time George W. Bush left office. That is why we must share the throne as equal joint heirs, and on other pages on this site I tell you how.
Believe me, this is not too good to be true. This is about the fulfillment of the real prophecies of all religions, for our Creator God loves us all. It's about a reformation of all religion and government, to unite and empower the people and remove all pretenders from all "thrones."
Above all, remember that the message from our Parent God and the Spirit of truth is meant not to condemn, but to educate; not to punish, but to correct; and not to destroy, but to save. It is designed to dispel myths, expose false beliefs, expose harmful, divisive leadership, and improve the human condition for all the people of the world, regardless of their religion, nationality, race, culture, or financial status, for we are all equal in the "sight" of God. And please do not listen to anyone who claims otherwise.
You can have faith that we shall overcome. Just know that it is always darkest before the dawn, and it may get worse even with a good president before everyone gets the message and things begin to change. But a new and truly democratic political system will be born into the world, along with religious pluralism and equality, as soon as we get through the labor pains prior to that birth.
Our suffering and trials and tribulations will end when we put an end to them; when kindness overcomes anger, and when love overcomes hate. There need be no more war. All the foreseen and prophesied wars have already taken place, with all the wars from the beginning of the Twentieth Century to the present. Now is the time to resolve conflicts, reconcile differences, establish justice, make amends, and appreciate that our diversity makes this a greater and more wonderful world.
Many of our fathers and grandfathers paid dearly for the freedom they fought and died for during World War II. But, even though that freedom has been eroding due to the greed and folly of spiritually blind men, lasting freedom is ours to achieve and establish peacefully. All we need is the wisdom to acknowledge the way to save and improve our world, and the courage and faith to make it so.
So you can have faith. We shall overcome.
