the fifth vial of darkness was poured out into the world in December2017, close to the solstice where the dark is most in the day than the light...timing is always interesting and yet, it was stated "and they will look for a sign but there will be no sign but the sign of Jonah". Of course Jonah had turned away from Jehovah and was inside the body of a whale and was alone on his own. Then, Jonah atoned and repented and was released. This is the sign of Jonah. Jesus healed people, gave the world a message that forgiveness is a part of being transformed and not a part of this world but a welcome part of the kingdom of Heaven. Jesus was mocked that he associated with the lesser of society and riff raff and in the end, the message of love, forgiveness, understanding and salvation was humiliated publicly, spat upon, beaten, scored all over his body, celebrated for his conviction and crucifixion in a crowd given the chance to pardon him or a known murderer, and the world freed the murderer. Jesus warned that "fear not that which can destroy the body but fear that which can destroy both body and soul". His body broken, defiled before all mankind and his message after he was resurrected and transformed was that this world can and will give those who follow him the same and still, you must stay fast with something like Job and the understanding that "God will provide". That there will be a time when darkness will be the rule of law in this world and it will have power and this power would be the rise of a "personage" to belong to, a seal upon you that you are of this world and not of the kingdom of Heaven and that it would be a very hard time to exist or have a life like any other time unless you bow to this darkness and that things will become far more than murderous and human hearts would be devoid of compassion, forgiveness or even love and that they will celebrate wickedness. Not going with the world has no gift bags or hope in this world. Yet, this is what Jesus asks of mankind and to atone and call out to God for forgiveness through the sacrifice Jesus made in this world. In this life we are promised by Jesus that we can and will be tested and given the same treatment by this very world that he endured. There were people of power in Jesus' time who believes in him and expected him to destroy his enemies and take dominion and the king of the Jews in this world and doing that would have been easier for him to do than die and be a sacrifice for all mankind. Jesus left this world broken and disgraced by it in the eyes of the world and history and he said no different of it as this world is not the prize. "They who love their life shall lose it but those who hate their life, for my sake, shall have life everlasting.". None of it is easy in any way if you take the time to read exactly what was said. When Jesus was crucified he was done so with two other criminals and they were all going to die and in these last moments one of them mocked him and cursed him and the other admitted that he had done things deserving death but Jesus had not and he asked Jesus to remember him which is atoning and recognizing Jesus and Jesus told him he would be with him, after death, for eternity and they all died later that day. For many, it is just a story, a well wishing. However, in all the written history of the old and New testament, there is something I find interesting that one aspect of separation is written throughout these testaments that they pay attention to what is on the left hand and what is one the right hand. It is funny that the world accords with identifying themselves in terms of left and right and how their outcomes, actions and beliefs also match these writings. It is not too late, like the guy on the cross asking Jesus to remember him. Without faith, without belief, it is even possible to call out to a God you don't believe in and to ask to be saved and even ask to be given faith you don't have. Few people in history have been known for passive resistance like Jesus but I can recall the story of Ghandi, he got some props for it too, still, Ghandi was assassinated in 1948 and Indira was assassinated in 1984. What Jesus has promised the people of this world does not exist in this world but the moment you may have in this world, will end. Maybe it does not matter and maybe whatever this is means enough and well, just "fuck it, I am fine with it", and no one will really call you out on it or whatever, but if you have ever read these testaments, there is surely and understanding of what human kind is going to do and what they are capable of, all on their own and in their own nature, no God or Devil really needed. Still, some of the prophecies as to how this whole world is going to reach a climax when you consider when these prophecies were written, as a reader, it stops me in my tracks and that nothing done in this world lasts. Such a wild impermanence, the Japanese have an interesting way of looking at that. Even just how the left and right are separated. You can look at the yin/yang symbol and most people do and they think they understand all about it and yet, so many people forget the line in the middle has a meaning to the practices of Buddhism and it is called shen. Some monks say "you can hate, but you are not hatred, you can love someone, but you are not love....you are you, and we are truly in the center". Jesus was in the center of two criminals when his life ended with them and there were two men each to the left and the right but these stories have nothing to do with what is a political or philosophical holding in this world. Yet, there are parallels, it is indicative. As above so below and even the star of David is made by a merge of these two elements and some can dismiss this as happenstance of human observation and making meaning out of it. At every turn, it appears that there is quite a there, there. Funny, the solution has been presented in realizing where you might be on that spectrum and asking for that which might be missing into the air and to unseen ears and things happen, that is how it has happened to me and I have turned from it and come back to it many times, and I have caught on that something is in this, and I know, I am rather slow in just getting it just rudimentally. If you can see what is happening now, it presents a pretty insistent example to the same. Let not your heart be hardened. Wonder if all the wins of this life is nothing more than a pyrrhic victory and that we all could have gotten this wrong from the get go and maybe all of our notions of right and wrong are part of an engrained collective mentes reae we have mistaken for truth itself.
