Quote From: fredastareOh Turtle Love I must say that although it may take me more than one reading to gather my understanding of your messages, it's worth the effort! Your illumination about the human condition is beyond brilliant.
I think that I've said that my personal view of the path to Righteousness is a culmination of Loving Jesus, and in Loving All things Universal. I whole heartedly agree that the ulimate battle must be won inside. My intellect nudges me toward some sort of deep knowing that The Revelations of John are an omnipresent message, that is perhaps only a peek into just what our existance ultimately is. Much the same I feel that time and space are an enigma that we haven't yet discerned. ( That I'll save for another post ; ))
I very much agree with what you say, you become what you meditate on.
I believe that through prayer and meditation ( which to me are one and the same), we are better able to harness our strength and become what we think upon. The act of prayer and meditation is not always a conscious act, as it can be simply the 'tapes' that run through ones mind consistantly. Is it not our inevitable and pre-scripted duty to God and to All that we will make a significant effort in programming our 'tapes' to play positive and Godly music in our minds ears? Thereby taking a stand against war and all things that are hateful. Things that have been accepted without much collective indifferance will become intolerable to the masses. Our conditioning should then effectively change on both an individual and collective scale, correct?
Do you feel there are signs and indications that this is happening now?

Dear Fredi,
You know, it comes up in odd places . . . . like this message board for instance. And, every once in a while, there will be a particularly clear message even via media like TV.
For instance, one show I saw maybe a year ago was called, The Journey of Man (it was on PBS). In it, this genetic anthropologist tracked genetic markers all the way back to our really original ancestors, who turned out to still be living as a tribe of Tsong bushmen in Africa. Through his research, he was able to plot every step of the migration of human beings from that group (of course starting many thousands of years ago) to the present populations all over the world and including every "race".
What was maybe the most amazing were the photographs: You can clearly see the Tsong bushmen and all of the essential elements there in their faces; i.e. their skin is medium brown, therefore having the potential to evolve into being darker or lighter. You see the various shapes of eyes and noses, etc. that later became "European", "Asian", "Native American", "East Indian", etc, etc. You know, the story was so compelling, that just thinking about it now is bringing tears to my eyes.
At the end, you see this young anthropologist who happens to be tall, very fair skinned, blue eyed and strawberry blonde haired, smiling with an array of other "racially representative people" affirming that we really have all descended from the same genetic lines, that we really are all part of "one family", in spite of all of the perceivable "differences" that have evolved over time.
I just watched Wayne Dyer this weekend (PBS was doing their regular fund raising drive) and he had a woman on there from Rawanda. She spent 90 days along with seven other women hiding in a bathroom that was three feet by four feet wide. Every day she was threatened with the machete's of people who used to be her friends and neighbors and if they had found her and the other women, they would have killed them. And yet, some how, in the midst of that horror, she Realized God, she Realized what was the absolute truth of her nature and it was ultimately loving and compassionate even towards those who would have killed her and did kill everyone else in her family. She wrote her story later and Wayne Dyer helped to get it published. I just checked and here's the info from Amazon.com:
Left To Tell : Discovering God Amidst the Rwandan Holocaust by Immaculee Ilibagiza
Even when she was speaking on stage and afterwards, you could just see how truly "radiant" she was.
And of course, Wayne Dyer has been talking to thousands and thousands of people for years now on how we are all intimately involved in what is manifesting here and that we need to be taking that role much more seriously and being "mindful" of our thoughts and how they "expand" into the Universe.
You know, in quantum physics it takes a considerable amount of energy to shift an "electron" from one "level" of energy to another within the structure of an atom. It's often referred to as a "quantum leap". It doesn't happen gradually, instead it's a real "jump" from one level to another.
I truly believe that there is energy building in this system of the world and in Consciousness as we know it to make a "leap". I think such "leaps in awareness" will still happen first on the individual level, but the cumulative effect will be significant shifts in culture and society. I have a feeling, possibly within our lifetimes, many of us are going to see and maybe even be a direct part of some major changes, and not long after that, we will be wondering how we could go on as long as we did without realizing and understanding what was always right there in front of us.
Right now, we are still dealing with "inertia", the fundamental "resistance to change" (and, by the way, from an electronics point of view, such resistance is present even in the simplest wire conductor. Again, it is just part of the system. : )). So it really is about each and every person who is already aware, continuing to consciously manifest or "conduct" love "energy" in each and every moment of their lives and in whatever circumstance or relationship in which they find themselves.
And, you know, even if it doesn't change the world (although I really do think it will in the long run), each person who chooses to do that, will simply be a happier person. They will have the opportunity to experience more true joy in their lives, for whatever time they are here.
From my point of view, that's a "Win/Win" situation . . . . : ))
Sincerely Yours in Peace and Love,
Turtle Love
