For the last couple of years, the internet has become more and more obsessed with the end times and Judgement Day, as well as any other disaster that you could have ever imagined.
It certainly looks like many of the prophesies of the Bible are coming true as we watch, and the prophesies of several different aboriginal peoples are likewise looking pretty accurate as well.
The Bible tells us that before the Judgement there will be The Rapture. That is when the 'believers' will be taken away and saved from all of the horrors of the end days and the final Judgement.
Well, I've decided that if this is all true, and if I am one of the chosen to be saved in The Rapture, I must humbly refuse.
I wish to stay here and do what I can for the one's that are left behind. I think that it is where I will be needed.
Anybody care to join me?

Prem means love and pramod means joy; joy that comes out of love. That’s the only joy there is. Whenever you love, you are joyful. Whenever you cannot love, you cannot be joyful. Joy is a function of love, a shadow of love… it follows love.

So become more and more loving, and you will become more and more joyful. And don’t be bothered about whether your love is returned or not; that is not the point at all. Joy follows love automatically, whether it is returned or not, whether the other is responsive or not. If you are loving, you are joyful, and that is more than enough, more than one can expect. That is the beauty of love – that its result is intrinsic, its value is intrinsic. It does not depend on the response of the other. It is totally yours.

But people are in very much confusion. They think you become joyful only when love is returned. That’s where they miss. Their whole analysis is based on wrong presumptions and their whole life becomes a misery. Joy follows love. It has nothing to do with whether it is returned by somebody or not.

That’s why, even if there is no god, a man who prays deeply becomes joyful. There may not be any god, but that is not a necessity. The devotee loves – god is just an excuse. It triggers, that’s all. It will be difficult to love without somebody there, so you simply imagine that somebody is there in the heavens, and you become loving towards that reality that you have imagined. Joy follows; it is just a by-product of your love. It has nothing to do with the object of love. The object of love may not exist at all, still one can be joyful. The object of love may exist and you may be joyless if you are not loving.

People are continuously asking for something in return. Their love is conditional. They say, ’Make me happy, make me joyful, then I will love you.’ Their love has a condition to it, a bargain. They are completely blind. They don’t know that by loving, joy automatically arises. It is a spontaneous by-product. So just be loving.

And it makes no difference to whom you are loving – to a dog, to a cat, to a tree, to a rock. Just sit by the side of the rock and be loving. Have a little chit-chat. Kiss the rock… Lie down on the rock. Feel one with the rock, and suddenly you will see a shudder of energy, an upsurge of energy – and you are tremendously joyful. The rock may not have returned anything, or may have – but that is not the point. You became joyful because you loved. One who loves is joyful.

And once you know this key, you can be joyful for twenty-four hours – if you are loving for twenty-four hours, and you are no more dependent on objects of love. You become more and more independent, because you know more and more that you can love – even if there is nobody. You can love the very emptiness surrounding you. Sitting in your room alone, you fill the whole room with your love. You may be in a prison; you can transform it into a temple within a second. The moment you fill it with love, it is no more a prison. And a temple becomes a prison if there is no love. So love is freedom, love is joy, and in the ultimate analysis, love is god. Jesus says, ’God is love.’ I say, ’Love is god.’

'It is the finest blades that are most easily blunted, bent or broken....He lived alone because he found no second self.'
quoted from 'Immortal Beloved' - movie about Beethoven.

Up to now, I think I have to admit I have found no 'second self' or soul mate. There have been 1 or 2 that seemed close but I may have been wanting to see more than was actually there. And, in any case, where are they now? No doubt, married with children. I wish them well.

I am looking at this screen with all these dancing emoticons....



Hmmm...time to do something else...

Now, STOPPING EARS BY PRESSING AND RECTUM BY CONTRACTING, ENTER THE SOUND.

Many times you have been contracting the rectum and sometimes the rectum is released even without your consciousness. If you suddenly become afraid, the rectum is released. You may defecate in fear, you may urinate in fear. Then you cannot control it. If a sudden fear grips you, your bladder will relax, your rectum will relax. What happens? In fear, what happens? Fear is a mental thing, so why do you urinate in fear? Why is the control lost? There must be some deep connecting root.

Fear happens in the head, in the mind. When you are unafraid this never happens. The child really has no mental control over his body. No animal controls his urine, bladder or anything. Whenever the bladder is full it is released. No animal controls it, but man has to control it of necessity. So we force a child to control when he should go to the bathroom and when not. We tell him he has to control; we give timings. So the mind takes over the control of a function which is non-voluntary.

That is why it is so difficult to train the child for the toilet. And now psychologists say that if we stop toilet training, humanity will very much improve.

Toilet training is the first repression of the child and its natural spontaneity, but it seems difficult to listen to these psychologists. We cannot listen to them because then the children will create many problems. We have to train them of necessity. Only a very, very rich, affluent society will be able not to bother. Poor societies have to manage. We cannot afford it. If the child urinates anywhere, we cannot afford it. If he urinates on the sofa we cannot afford it, so we have to train. This training is mental. The body really has no built-in program for it. The body has NO built-in program for it!

Man is an animal as far as body is concerned, and the body knows no culture, no society. That is why when you are in deep fear, the control mechanism that you have imposed on the body is relaxed. You are not in control; you are thrown off control. You can control only in normal conditions.

In emergencies you cannot control because for emergencies you have never been trained. You have only been trained for the normal, day-to-day, routine world. In an emergency the control is lost, your body starts functioning in its own animal way. But one relationship can be understood, that with a fearless man this will never happen. So this has become a sign of a coward.

If in fear you urinate or defecate, this shows you are a coward. A fearless man will not behave in this way, because a fearless man is taking deep breaths. His body and his breathing system are related; there is no gap. With a man who is a coward there is a gap, and because of that gap he is always overburdened with urine and defecation. So whenever an emergency comes, that overburdenedness has to be thrown: he has to be unburdened. And it has a reason in nature. A coward who is unburdened can escape more easily with his stomach relaxed, can run more easily.

I'd like to take this opportunity to wish good will and happiness to all the good-willed women and men and whoever else on this dating site and throughout the Universe or Multiverse. I wish you may find the good that you are seeking, the love, the acme of your spiritual quest.

If, as a soul still residing in heaven, and about to be born into the world, you were shown and knew what your whole life would be like, would feel like - all the joys, all the pain and suffering, the anxiety, the wonder etc. - would you decide to be born, or would you decide not to be born?

In the airport of Israel,when a person go through the safe checking,the staff will check one person's suitcases again and again.They said that they will rebuild the safe feeling.If their aircraft is safe landing,they all will applause.And also they said that"they will rebuild safe feeling".And also a country is made up of people,if people is false ,and country is also not right.
I'm not a polician and don't want to change what.It is the business of God.Israel is out of country and recover a lost country.The pivotal point is they reflect and awaked.More progress is cause of reflection.But many prolems filled with here,but it never has reflection about himself.Many people did the same things like evil here.
Some days ago in America,one ENN company of China went to western America want let the police there to force a farmer removal his family,they resist the police.I am also be angried with it.I think if the farmer was dead for it,it is honored.But this country is so wisdom and they played a wisdom game,they let the evils' idea to prevent and same time all over of world all know the bad evil heart.Very simple is that dead for fair and righteous is worthy of honored and respected.
I know a professor here and now he is in Dalas.He had settled down in America.Recently here almost the news are about the battle of south sea,no one care about ordinary people.The news are always said best messages here.For the battle of internatinal situation,so on 4th,July,the professor said that human are very lucky for surviving of America,because only fair and righteous is more and more,the evil will be less and less!

I like to share with you.Because here many things is different,so it can make person's mind clear.The news of yesterday was that two old people were dead in a fire accident.But one of them can not find in the room, it cause that firemen didn't find her.And also the fire was not by nature but someone did it.This thing had happened almost one year,but no one to investigate it, just cause of they are poor family.So what is fair and respection?
To observe all natural world,like the bible says:who let universe so beatiful and has spring,summer,autumn and winter?who let people have love,passion, sorrow and sad?And who let birds fly to south in winter and back in summer?Who let daffodils be so beautiful?Who let tigers always eat other animals but sheep does not?Real battle is between righteous and evil.The battle is not only between people with people,but also self with self.Rightful soul with evil soul.Religion and belief is mind and soul.All need regular routes and law.So natural world and universe is regular and harmonious and same as human nature.Religion and belief and wisdom is like that:all of the world is designed by kind and nice routes including human nature. i think so.hei hei

Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.--A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; Jeremiah 31:13 - Ecclesiastes 3:4

By Mara Hodler July 2016

How about those moments when life is moving along smoothly, it looks like you have a good view of where things are headed, you’re making progress … and then all of a sudden, surprise! A total about-face happens. Something that forces you to change and pushes you in a different direction. A complete game changer.

I find those “surprise” moments kind of scary. Having no control over a situation feels like a free fall. Not my thing! It’s at those times when my best-laid plans are strewn around me like worthless debris that I hear in my head the words, “Man proposes, but God disposes.”

I have the choice to just “go with it” or try to force and steer things back to my cherished plans. Really, it’s not so much of a choice as it is a mental attitude. Half the time, the outcome is obvious, and holding on to my plans is clearly only going to prolong the inevitable. Still, it’s hard to let go.

It’s like a good salsa dance. When two people have danced together for a long time, they learn to “read” each other and can ad-lib a dance perfectly and in perfect synchronization. In traditional salsa, the man is the leader, and the woman is attuned to his slightest pulls and guides, moving her body to follow his lead. When the couple is in sync, their movements become an extension of each other, and it’s amazing! A couple that is out of sync is pretty sad to watch. They step on each other’s toes, sometimes even fall, and at best, lack the gracefulness that the dance is supposed to convey.



I sometimes picture my life as a dance. When those “surprises” come into play, I can almost hear Jesus saying, Come on. We’ve been dancing together for so long, you know how to follow. Just let Me lead and I will make this dance spectacular.

I know in my heart that if I let Him take control, I won’t trip and fall. But it can be hard to surrender to His lead. Usually the reason is that I feel I’ve worked hard on practicing the previous routine and learning every step, and I don’t want to change. Sometimes I try to lead. And the results are, well … pathetic.

Surrender is not a common first reaction. It’s human nature to become attached to a certain outcome. We like to think we have control. We put a lot of energy into planning, and it’s hard to think that it can all be wasted by one event that nullifies our plans.

Here’s the funny thing, though: when it comes to dancing, all the routines, all the carefully choreographed dances rehearsed over and over are what allow a couple to abandon the planned dance and spontaneously create a whole new dance.

Some of the most amazing people I know recognize these troublous interjections as an invitation to a special dance. They trust so well that they are able to skip the struggle and sway in time.

The good news is that I can be sure there will be more surprises, and I have the opportunity to practice getting better at flowing instead of struggling. As I write this, I know that there are going to be unexpected happenings and events ahead that I could not have predicted. My prayer is that I will flow with the dance, and that I will not resist or struggle—at least not so much that I ruin the dance.

Jesus wants to make your life extraordinary, and He’ll use every little twirl, dip, bend, and lift to create the most beautiful dance, if you’ll just flow with it.

The Temptation of Jesus Matthew 4:8-10 Berean Bible

WE PRAY IN THE SPIRIT AND OUR PRAYERS HAVE MORE EFFECT BECAUSE WE PRAY BY THE SPIRIT HIMSELF, by His power, which is exactly what God wants in His Will in His own Spirit. In a sense, we become almost like the reflectors ourselves, and God is issuing the influence and God Himself gets the desired effect.

BUT THE ENEMY, OF COURSE, HAS HIS POWER AND COMMUNICATION WITH HIS CHILDREN and they with him. And if they're his child he can answer their prayers within certain God given limitations. Especially if it is a child of the Devil praying to the Devil for or against another child of the Devil. That's his realm, his kingdom. That's where he's allowed to operate, control and influence, and be influenced by and controlled by, in a sense, his children, children of the Devil, just like God is by His Children.



WHAT ABOUT THE CASES OF SO CALLED WITCHCRAFT, WIZARDRY, BLACK MAGIC, casting of so-called spells upon people, the influencing of people from a distance sometimes called telepathic hypnosis? In that case, the Enemy acts as a relay station, and his spiritual power amplifies and transmits the message. Satan's child communicates with the Devil and if it's in accordance with the Devil's will, and not beyond the powers God has given him, then he can operate to influence other children of the Devil, one way or the other. Science, of course, would call this telepathic hypnosis. They have already proven the influence and results of personal hypnosis, face-to-face hypnosis in the presence of the hypnotist, and are now having to consider even further the possibilities of the power of suggestion, that if it can be done face-to-face, why can't it be done at a longer distance.

THE POWER OF THE LORD, OF COURSE, IS GREATER! "Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world." In other words God is saying, "My power in you is much greater than the Devil's power in the world's children, his children--much greater!"--So if we have the power of the Lord, we have Christ, we have the Holy Spirit. We don't have to worry or fear Satan's power because we are protected by the power of the Holy Spirit, which is far greater than the power of the Enemy.



THE LORD'S PROTECTION IS JUST LIKE A FORCE FIELD AROUND US AND THE ENEMY CANNOT PENETRATE IT! It's impossible for him to penetrate it unless the Lord allows him to do it as a spanking, as a chastening, as a reaping of something you have done that you haven't confessed or you're not sorry for. The Lord allows you to reap the results.

But God takes care of you even when you're out of His Will. He may let you suffer a little bit for it and let one of the imps give you a little spanking, but He takes care of you, PTL! The Devil can't get in you, he can't control you, he can't harm a hair of your head, can't touch you, without the Lord's permission.



Science is really studying E.S.P., telepathic communication and telepathic hypnosis in certain universities now because there are so many proved instances of E.S.P.--People suddenly waking the moment a friend or loved one died and knowing that they're dead and so on. E.S.P. means Extra Sensory Perception.

It's all very real and science is beginning to recognize it more and more all the time. They can no longer deny that these things exist. They've been proven by actual experience and experimentation; they know they're real beyond a shadow of a doubt.
