February 19, 1945Sixty-three years ago, on this date, I played a tiny part in the invasion and capture
of Iwo Jima Island with the Navy Amphibious Force.
My ship, LSM 92, landed elements of the 5th Marines and a few Sea-Bees in the
second wave of the assault on the island's black sand.
Throughout the next month we made many landings to deliver reinforcements,
equipment and supplies in support of the Marines who were engaged in savage warfare.
Each time we withdrew from the beach we brought with us the wounded, mostly
teenagers, and delivered them to hospital ships. I was 17 years old then, and
shall never forget the experience of 24/7 terror, anger, entrappment endured by
all combat veterans everywhere before, then, and now.
During that murderous month in an area slightly larger than Griffith Park in
Los Angeles, the Marines suffered incredible casualties in order to fly and protect our flag atop a "mountain" barely high enough to reach the HOLLYWOOD sign!
Compare the one-month's slaughet in that single battle, to the casualties of years of war in Iraq to date!
The city of Berkley, and who knows how many other
misguided, drugged, or brainwashed individuals
in America today, spit in the eyes of Marines
who fight to keep the flag of freedom flying in spite of the
Anti-Americans here and worldwide yearning to burn it.
It is hard for me to accept this insult to the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the memory of Fallen Marines. But, it is evident that as long as politicians find it more profitable for their self interests to ignore the threats to America's survival as a nation, I must recognize that the war my generation fought for freedom of speech and religion, and freedom from fear and poverty was done in vain!

Leaders, Pundits and Experts in Science, Education, Religion and Politics debate about "god, church, and state" using Bronze Age arguments irrelevant in the Information Age.
The myth about god probably originated 50,000 years ago during prehistoric story-telling gatherings around the first great technological develpment in history: MANMADE FIRE!
About 10,000 years ago history came into existence with the development of writing!
Hebrew writings recorded an original "creation story" (Genesis) and today Judism, Christianity, and Islam perpetuate varying versiuons of the ancient tradition.
In the beginning humans relied largely on intuition and animal instinct for survival. To communicate with each other, languages were developed. Some individuals asked themselves the question that five-year-olds today ponder: "Where did I come from?"
How would you answer that question with language consisting largely only of nouns?
As the words were developed, answers began to be evolve. According to The Gospel of St. John, "In the beginning was the word and the word was God."
As prehistoric storytellers prognosticated in answering the "where did humans come from" question they incapsulated all of the cosmic events prior to the existence of planet earth into the word GOD!
All that ever was, is, or ever will be (called God) is also a general definition of the recent discovery called invisible (dark) matter/energy occupying what was previously believed to be empty space filling all atoms and outer space! (A vacuum, like an electron, atom, etc., only exists in theory!)
Humans developed church, state, religion and politics -- and all are under God! However; with the power of superstition and stone axes, and their current counterparts, it became politically incorrect to openly speak of reliance on personal independence and freedom from "institutions."
In the former Soviet Union this was openly proclaimed in their constitution.
Separation of church and state, eminent domain over all property, equal recognition of licensed and common-law marriage, unrestricted abortion by any licensed physician, divorce automatically granted by postcard sent to the government, and other practices were the law of the land -- as well as official denial of the existence of "God."
Until the 1960's, people in The United States did not consider these ideas legal or moral.
At that time Communist political ambitions that surfaced shortly after World War Two with the establishment of The Progressive Party under the leadership of former Vice President, Henry Wallace, began to take root again. Tom Hayden and the Chicago Seven insinuated it into popular antiestablishmentarian Marxist philosophies of that time.
The anti-war propaganda of the 1960's denied the existence of a Cold War. It was so successful that, although Congress recognized the "Cold War Victory" with a commemorative medal, the whole world missed the fact that bloodshed and suffering during the time from the Iron Curtain to the Berlin Wall was really World War Three with many major battles including Korea and Vietnam!
The underlying reason for opposition to "One Nation Under God" hinges upon what the meaning of "God" is today instead of the meaning 50,000 years ago!
I commit myself to live in harmony with everyone; to harm no one physically, emotionally, financially; to encourage others to do likewise; and to defend against all threats to life, liberty, and pursuit of joy.
Blessed Be!
Cline.
P.S. The undermining of American Democracy is not only from the "left," as Tom Hayden would have it, but also from the "right," as James Carville so successfully set forth in his religious and political hatred propaganda. Extremes to the left and to the right all and always lead to totalitarianism.

The news about an incident in Las Vegas and the release of the book If I Did It fill the news on TV and radio -- and remind me of conclusions I drew during the broadcasts of the "OJ Trial."
Observing OJ's facial expressions and body language during some of the testimony, I opined that he was awakening for the first time to the realization that he had killed his ex-wife and another person during a "blackout" rage.
I mentioned this possibility in a recent digital document I published, entitled .How to Separate and Integrate Multiple Personalities: Secrets of Dissociative Hypnotherapy (and the perfect spy) -- http://www.clineclark.com/multipers
I haven't read OJ's book, but excerpts quoted on TV lead me to conclude that a person named "Charlie," who conspired and participated in the homicide, was a subconscious confabulation. A "false memory" is very real to the person who experiences it.
Also, according to what I have heard, OJ experienced a memory blackout during the commission of the homicide. This is perfectly consistent with a personality dissociation.
I believe that, because of the presentation of evidence at the trial and aquisition of partial memories during ensuing years, OJ now knows most if not all of the details of that tragic event. The book may in fact be his effort to tell all that he recalls about "that night."
I also believe that the not guilty verdict was just by accident.
It should have been "by reason of temporary insanity."
Blessed Be!

After a few years of private counseling and hypnotherapy practice on Hollywood Boulevard during the 1980s/90s, I concluded that human beings are omnisexual creatures!
If another creature or object stands still or moves in an appropriate way, at a convenient time or place, some human from somewhere will find it sexually attractive.
Once we accept that fact, the notion begun by Sigmund Freud that there are distinctive psychiatric diagnoses for our proclivities and preferences in private and public relationships becomes irrelevant silliness.
Heterophobes and Homophobes can relax, live, love, laugh and be happy. (To paraphrase an old song.)

It's nice to practice good manners and to be kind to each other. It's dangerous to habitually accept directions from people in authority.
Until a few years ago I was a "Gay Native-American"!
I feel a little embarassed to admit it now, because minority rule in America has changed the meanings of the words.
Until recently happy, carefree people born in the United States were free to use those words to describe themselves.
No more!
It is not politically correct!
Political correctness means propaganda controlled! It is part of the process of controling the minds of the people who have not learned how to be free and think for themselves.
When the revolutionary government of The United States began to crumble under the subversive Communist counter-revolutionary propaganda of the 1960/1970s, freedom of speech and thought began to disolve in America.
Today people are divided into groups and given names that identify their political identity. They have different group-objectives than the others and bring pressure to bear on the makers of laws and administrators of justice.
The government gains power by favoring the groups.
That's politics.
However! When government leaders trade political favors and cooperate with the individual groups under the condition that they unite behind the goals of an individual or party, that is to say -- the groups ignore their differences and unite behind political leadership -- the name for the resulting system of government is fascism!
Historically, agricultural societies following these principles lose their freedom to Communism. And Industrial societies become enslaved to Fascim.
Look around you -- are you a gay native-American -- or a politically correct slave.
Blessed Be

Church and state are branches of the same tree - tyranny.
Enslaving people's freedom of thought, by implanting self-serving definitions of good - evil - bad - good, both church and state establish their own "religions and denominations." Politicians control them all and dictate what is politically correct!
Freedom, the true right of all people, is denied where government intrudes upon any of the "Four Freedoms" Congress recognized on the World War Two Victory Medal. Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, Freedom from Fear, Freedom from Want.
No longer can we say certain politically incorrect words in public. (Such words as God?)
No longer can we freely display religious symbols and garb.
Terrorism instills fear in the hearts of people in certain neighborhoods, wearing certain colors, having skin or hair of a different color.
Poverty is rampant.
Priests offer hope in the next life - Politicians promise solutions in the next generation or administration. We need more than promises now!
---------------
A situation almost as serious as described above, in addition to denial of private property ownership through eminent domain, drove the people of Poland to overthrow the Communist government!
Peace and freedom are the responsibility of each of us to choose at a personal level.
I commit myself to live in harmony with everyone; to harm no one physically emotionally, financially; to encourage others to do likewise; and to defend against all threats to life, liberty, and pursuit of joy.

Everyone fears and resents the rejection and ridicule that comes with being really different.
In the realm of politics and religion you may even be risking your life!
In 1954, when I answered the urge and entered a door leading into the energy and power of the quantum cosmos, I didn't realize what I was really doing!
It is a lonely pathway because so few people take the risk and give it a try.
In the stuff I post here and on The Net you will find out about my adventures (clineclark.com/cvitae) -- the bad and the good -- and it may encourage you to join a little known path of inner tranquility beyond logical explanation that, when joined by enough human beings, shall accumulate a critical mass of mind/spirit power to cause the necessary paradigm shift that will result in global peace.
The alternative, clinging to the beliefs and ideas of generations past, will end human life on planet earth!
It's a race against time, of course -- the Universal Order may erase our planet before we can control our emotions and change our behavior. (The enlightened few already walk in consciousness of eternal life and have no fear of this natural event.)
In apocalypsesurvivalguide.com I discuss my challenges and adventures pursuing a clearer perspective of inner truth beyond the enslavement of propaganda perpetuated by parents, peers, preachers, professors, politicians, and other puppets on the knee of past history.
Many of my prognostications and parables appear in written articles, reports, and correspondence posted here.
All of the knowledge, wisdom, energy and power that ever was or ever will be is here within each of us now!
Our challenge is to access the Universal Order that lies hidden behind old ideas and emotions that we ourselves deliberately cling to because we are afraid to admit that we (all humanity) have been so wrong for so long!
I am a dummy sitting on the knee of an inner ventriloquist I believe to be the universal life force. Sometimes I come to realize that I am mistakenly mouthing the messages of a memory-ventriloquist whose opinions may have held value during certain circumstances in the past, but are not really my own today!
To free myself from my fear and resentment of rejection, reluctance to change, and the influence of false ventriloquists in my life, I developed The Care Process, a free report I offer at careprocess.com. You may find it helpful, too.
I recognize how risky it is for anyone to follow this lifestyle totally alone. Mental hospitals are full of people following inner voices. I appreciate your feedback to help me stay on the path I must follow!
Your adventures finding and following the path are not only interesting, they are very valuable guidelines for all of us. Please Comment Here and post your revelations as beacons across the chasms that may divide us. Help us help each other become the one we are meant to be, and to discover and do that which is right for each and all of us!
As we follow the inner path, we may need each other to avoid making the 50,000 year old mistake.
Let's see what we can do together so that we can do the right thing separately.
I commit myself to live in harmony with everyone; to harm no one physically, emotionally, financially; to encourage others to do likewise; and to defend against all threats to life, liberty and pursuit of joy.
Blessed Be!
Cline.
P.S. Like St.Paul (The Apostle, not the City), I'm convinced that we must, as individuals, get past the demands of religious and political propaganda so we can live today and build a future based upon personal alliance with the Universal Order!
P.P.S. Politically Correct means Propaganda Controlled! What politicians seek to control you?

Popular Hypnotic
Re-Induction Catalysts
It is unfortunate that a lot of people who really need it will be afraid to read this blog because they have been hypnotically programmed to believe that hypnotism is dangerous. This programming has been done to them by people who use disguised hypnosis as part of their lectures, sermons, writings or audio/video programs; usually as part of political or religious propaganda.
Mind-controllers originate distortions on purpose, others are
perpetuating the mental blocks without realizing what they are doing.
The latter are usually repeating what they have read, been told, or
taught without realizing that they were being programmed to "carry
the message" containing hidden hypnotic influences without knowing it.
In modern e-commerce the distribution of information included in
other information distributed on The Net is often referred to as
"viral marketing." It spreads worldwide by riding piggy-back on
materials e-marketed by other online entrepreneurs.
You see, if you are programmed to believe hypnotism is dangerous, or
a threat to your well-being, you won’t investigate it and discover
that the sources teaching you this are at the same time hypnotizing
you without your knowledge. The more often this fear-message is
distributed to others, and repeated, the more seekers of truth will
be hypnotized and blocked from getting the answers they need!
There is no defense against disguised hypnosis except being able to
recognize it and block it within your own mind – and if you are
programmed to fear it, you’ll never study and understand how easily
your mind can be controlled by the ideas of others. What a vicious
way to corrupt the minds of innocent seekers of truth by using the
potential re-induction phrase: "in Jesus' name!"
Listen closely now! (That's a sample
post-hypnotic re-induction catalyst. I use it often to induce and
deepen an altered state of consciousness.) All political and
religious institutions do this accidentally or deliberately to fill
our heads with fear, anger, guilt, and feelings of personal inadequacy
or unworthiness. And they implant post-hypnotic re-induction
catalysts like mine to keep us in line. In that case such catalysts
might be, Peace Now! at political rallies;
or Let us pray. at religious services.
If a hypnotist writes a script for you to read out loud to hypnotise
someone, you will hypnotize that person. If a message is delivered
at that time the listener will be receiving a hypnotic suggestion.
What is not understood is, if you read or recite a script about
anything that requires over ninety minutes to deliver, there
is a very high probability the message is received in a state of hypnosis
- just as if you deliberately hypnotized them.
Every hour-and-a-half throughout the day and night, awake or asleep,
you enter a highly receptive altered state of mind during which
information you receive has the effect of hypnotic suggestion.
The only way to escape this enslavement is to understand how they do
it, so we can think freely for ourselves!
Even when we realize during self-evaluation that there are old ideas
and habit patterns holding us back, we can't consciously change them.
It's as though we can see them on the other side of a glass, but
can't reach them to remove them. The only way to do that is to
bypass or get around the glass. This happens during an altered
state of consciousness.
All new and helpful ideas are adapted to enhance the earlier ones
or rejected completely!
Jesus, in the first century, didn't have access to words like
subconscious mind, behavior mod, psychoanalysis and other nineteenth
and twentieth century terms. He tried to convey the message that
our first goal is to find the kingdom of God within us, then
everything we do will stand of a firm foundation in tune with
God's revelations.
Because -- all of the additional knowledge would be built on the
foundation that conditions and inspires them.
He taught this idea in a parable in Matthew and repeated Luke
likening it to a woman who hid leaven in three measures of grain
and, with no further effort, all of the grain was leavened.

Let's Get Over It and Get On With It!
"... At a time when you should be teaching others, you need teachers yourselves to repeat to you the A B C of God's revelation to men. You have become people who need a milk diet and cannot face solid food! For anyone who continues to live on "milk" is obviously immature -- he simply has not grown up. "Solid food" is only for the adult, that is for the man who has deveoped by experience his power to discriminate between what is good and what is bad for him.
" Let us leave behind the elementary teaching about Christ and go forward to adult understanding. Let us not lay over and over again the foundation truths -- repentance from the deeds which led to death, believing in God, baptism and laying on of hands, belief in the life to come and the final judgement. No, if God allows, let us go on."
(Letter to the Hebrews 5:12 - 6:1, The New Testament in Modern English, trans. J. B. Phillips.)
The above quotation appears in the preface to my 1965 book: The Bronze Age God in the Space Age: How to Establish Vital Contact with God. It's been out of print many years now. The title was my own, the subtitle was added by the editor after he read the original manuscript.
That was a long time ago -- and to this day I follow the path I described then.
In 2002 I decided to update and revise the original, only to find that three decades of historic advancement required a totally new book: Apocalypse Survival Guide: Helpful Hints for a Happy Ending.
Both books try to penetrate deep-mind psychological conditioning by 2000 years of religious propaganda that blocks people today from understanding and following the admonishment of the Apostle Paul when he wrote this and other letters that make up about two-thirds of the New Testament.
As I write these blogs I receive comments that are supported by interpretations of ancient spoken dialiects, expressions and coloquialisms from remote regions where the commonly spoken Aramaic was later translated back and forth into Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, Latin, and a thousand or more years later into modern English; and they seem to expect me to do the same without question!
This way, the spiritual deep-mind meaning of the original spoken words can be twisted to avoid the truth that within us is the Christ here and now, availabe to anyone, regardless of political and religious doctrine and law.
The 20th Century was the history-hinge of the gateway into Apocalypse. It leads into the end of the world of old ideas!
My prayer-thoughts are with you always.

This Blog Series Is
My Greatest Challenge To Date!

The Real Face of Jesus ?
(Click Picture)
The self-imposed discipline of a periodic posting here is a commitment my laziness is fighting even as I write.
Reading, meditating, and writing what is revealed to me is more reaching than anything else I have ever done.
I promise you one thing, this series won’t be dull in a week or two, not even in one hundred years unless God wants it to end. I may use a few scriptures from
the bible. Usually I just tell you the chapter and verse, and you can read read it for yourself.
If you don't have a bible, you can download an Authorized King James (KJV) version FREE here HOLY BIBLE KJV If you click the link you can read it online -- or, right-click your mouse and left-click "save target as" on the menu that pops up and save to a disk or file on your computer.
As Jesus did at the dawning of the Age of Pisces, I, at the dawning of the Age of Aquarius am saying that what was said and written about God in the past needs to be
revisited in light of the present!
DO NOT TRUST ME OR ANY OTHER HUMAN SOURCE I AM DISCLOSING IN THESE BLOGS HOW TO RECEIVE GOD'S MESSAGES YOURSELF!
TRUST ONLY GOD'S MESSAGES REVEALED WITHIN YOU
I am writing to God when I write to you, and you are reading a message from God right now! (John 10:34, Psalm 82:6) Our comments on these blogs may open a deeper understanding of many passages in the Bible.
You and I are symbolically already walking a return path to Eden with the Creater of everything, and as we follow we will be turned completely around frequently as yesterday's old ideas are overpowered or bypassed, and replaced by God's ideas for today!
Although we are crossing into an age in which many of the end-of-the-world prophecies are happening in the physical world -- Jesus' instruction in the KJV is to focus on today, not the future.
It is the end of the world-of-old-ideas that we must confront right now within ourselves that. will bring the second coming of Jesus' Christ-Plan
Life will have a completely different meaning.
I am sure as we continue on this path, life will continally change for us, for the better, never for the worse.
I am not doing this to make any money from it. I am doing it as God reveals daily what I can do to help people.
The reason I want to help people was revealed to me, among other things, in previous meditations on Matthew 25:45 where Jesus says that if we have not helped other people we have not helped God! As I see it he is saying all people are part of God and when we hurt or neglect others we are hurting and neglecting God!
Maybe I'm talking about converting pantheists to followers of Jesus -- or vice-versa???
Based on my experience earlier on the path, as we join together on this path, the fear of death will leave you completely. Then you can rise up and say as Paul did, “Oh grave, where is your victory?”
You will get the victory over death, and experience "eternal life" NOW!
I have it, and you can have it, too!
Although I highly recommend it, you do not need to read the bible, or anything other writings. Just accompany me on the path of truth and life here.
I outline my metaphysical philosophy in a book I wrote in 2002: Apocalypse Survival Guide: Helpful Hints for a Happy Ending. No need to read it, but if you're interested, here it is. (http://www.authorhouse.com/BookStore/ItemDeta

The Real Face of Jesus
Jesus: Son of Man -- Son of God
"...Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head." Luke 9:58
"...I am the way, the truth, and the life: No man commeth unto the Father but by me.
"If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also:
"and from henseforth ye know him, and have seen him." John 14:6,7.
Part One: Son of Man (Luke 9:58)
I have often said that we do things backwards in offering the Bible as a personal means of finding God and salvation through Jesus.
Nevertheless, religious services, sermons, and pastoral face-to-face readings frequently open the critical faculty of the mind to allow personal access to heretofore unavailable spiritual truth.
People who are desparate and "at the end of their rope" will almost always have a breakthrough experience if they turn to the Bible for guidance!
The original message of Jesus, both then and now, remains misunderstood by most people who hear it. It was filtered through the minds of late first-century men who translated fragments of notes written in various dialects of Aramaic, Hebrew, and Greek into the "first edition" in Latin a half-century or so after the crucifixion of Jesus. He died because he refused to abandon his message that threatened both church and state then and thereafter.
This Latin Bible was prepared by order of Roman Emperor Constantine. Anyone who believes that ideas he would disaprove would ever be allowed is not familiar with the way in which dictators deal with criticism.
I believe that Jesus discovered and demonstrated, for the first time in history, that we mortals may access and utilize power and guidance from the creative source of everything that exists in the universe! Using the available knowledge and language of the world he lived in, he sought to teach people he could reach about his discovery.
This lone carpenter from a small town near Jerusalem introduced a concept so radical and powerful that it shook the very foundations of Religions and Kingdoms. Although people 2,000 years ago didn't know what was happening, the history of the world is divided to this day into times before and after his message!
Part Two: Son of God (John 14:6,7)
I suppose there are millions of interpretations of Jesus the Son of God. from the perspective of the person arriving at that opinion. Many interpretations are precisely correct, many are logically workable, many are completely incorrect, and some are deliberately deceptive.
Throughout recorded history there have been individuals and groups who have demonstrated altered states of consciousness as a pathway to personal achievement, healing, enlightenment, and access to their perception of heaven and God.
People who experience an altered state of consciousness seldom realize it unless they are taught what it is and how to recognize it. I have used the old stage hypnotist's demonstration of having a subject stiffen their arm and then dissociating their ability to bend it.
They stuggle and sweat but cannot bend their arm until I give my permission. After the experience I'll ask "were you hypnotised," and they'll answer "no!" I've even done this by having them stiffen their entire body, placed them between two chairs, and stood on them -- and they still deny that they were hypnotized.
It is my opinion that Jesus deliberately achieved an altered state of consciousness from which he spoke direct revelations from God. Furthermore, he not only recognized what was happening, but also tried to convey it to all of us then and since that we could do the same.
Peter and Paul, in the New Testament and Prophets of the Old Testament obtained messages from God in altered states the KJV* Bible calls "Trance."
In practice, all humans can be led into the altered state of mind. Our minds tend to open to outside suggestions about every 90 minutes during the day when we may or not recognize we have been "daydreaming."
Listening to speeches lasting more than an hour and a half allows the speaker to bypass our reasoning capacity at least once and plant ideas in our subconscious minds beyond our control.
We also spontaneously enter the altered state of mind briefly when we express deeply held anger, and when we laugh.
The great artists, athletes and performers look for the "zone," an altered state of consciousness during which they are at their peak ability to achieve their goal.
Jesus entered into his "zone" often while teaching his disciples. He was so totally into this state that when he used the term "I" he was talking about his total being totally in tune with God. It was this state of BEING he meant when he said "I AM" (John 14:6,7). It is only through this altered state that we reach personal access with God - the way, the truth, and the life in the "Jesus Zone."
Jesus the man was chatting with his disciples when he asked who the people thought he was. They shared some of the local gossip, then he asked, "But whom say ye that I am? And Peter said "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."
Jesus said,"Blessed art thou, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say unto thee; that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church....
(Matthew 16:13-20 These are exerpts. The whole passage is in the KJV, you can access and read below.*)
People are arguing to this day about what Jesus meant by that! Here's a view I prefer.
Jesus recognized that Peter (Until then called Simon, his first name) had arrived at his conclusion about Jesus by entering the zone and receiving this information from God Himself. This was, of course, the message Jesus had hoped to convey! Greek word for rock (petros) was assigned to Peter because he "got the message" and it was the message upon which Jesus wanted "his church" founded. Peter recognized this.
The other disciples may or not have "caught on." Seemingly at least some of them remained followers of Jesus the Man and later appointed Peter as leader of the new church in Rome. God's sense of humor shows through when it turns out that Peter could turn on the "Jesus Zone" himself.
This was carried over by Peter, when he became the first Pope. It was understood that when he spoke in ordinary conversations he was the ex-fisherman and when he spoke as the inspired representative of Christ, he entered the "Jesus Zone" and spoke "ex-cathedra" infallibly!
So it was with Jesus, Son of God!
The more remarkable to me, that Jesus the Man should suffer his cruel death because he steadfastly refused to deny that he was at the same time the son of God. His message that split time in human history is that you and I can achieve what he did -- surrender ourselves to God's direction as we hear it In the Jesus Zone
I am convinced that the Bible contains humankind's clearest revelation of the truth about God and our relationship with him that could possibly be conveyed to people during the first century reign of Constantine, Emperor of Rome.
I am further convinced that among words therein is a secret message personally directed to you here and now from the beginning of the universe.
If you do not have a personal way to contact the Universal Life Force, you're welcome to use my Care Process. It works for me and others who have tried it said it worked for them. IT'S FREE!
I commit myself:
to live in harmony with everyone;
to harm no one physically, emotionally, financially;

to life, liberty, pursuit of joy.

Are You Prepared? Are you carrying your weapons?
And then he said unto them,When I sent you without
purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye anything? And they said,
Nothing.
Then said he unto them, But now, he that
hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one. And they said,
Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.Luke 22:35-38.
The Bible describes two kinds of swords. The sword of spiritual warfare which is the word of God revealed to us from His kingdom within us, and the sword of material warfare spreading death and destruction on earth.
Jesus makes it clear in this passage that he is talking about the latter. It is impossible to buy God's unique message for you. The fact that the disciples were able to show two physical swords clarified the message Jesus wanted to declare. These are real material-world deadly weapons he is talking about. Those two swords were enough to show that he was not talking about the sword of the spirit!
All born-again Christians, and all who hear and follow God's voice within,
carry God's spiritual weapon always. In these times we may need to carry
arms if we are to carry Jesus' message. Of course arms since the earth
circles the sun, are not Bronze Age weapons.
If you hear and understand the spiritual message I convey here, be doers
of the word and not hearers only in the material world.
A diplomat interviewed on CNN clearly expressed the problem facing the world today. No political solution seems possible when terrorists refuse to abandon their goal of world domination or die! No military solution seems possible when total victory by either side would mean the slaughter of most of the world's population.
The masses of the people worldwide simply want to live together in harmony, but a tiny minority seeks to eradicate that kind of thinking. (This is not new, it began in the Mythical Garden of Eden.)
Events in Tripoli demonstrate the mighty power of an armed minority. About 200 civilians armed with automatic small-arms are holding the army of Lebanon at bay! (Remember, terrorists are civilian men, women, and children.)
Where can the masses of mankind look for freedom? There seems to be only one answer. The source of wisdom and energy deep within ourselves.
How to accomplish this has been my quest and my calling since 1958. I have written 2 books about it, and am preparing another because global changes are happening so rapidly that all of my previous work needs to be revisited and revised!
I feel a new urgency - a sense that there may not be time to complete a book before the final world war.
Most of the blogs and comments I post here are building blocks for future book-chapters to be published.

I SAID "JESUS," NOT PREACHERS AND SCHOLARS
We can spend years memorizing the history, poetry, religion, in numerous languages, translations and versions.
Or -
We can accept the few vital elements of the message Jesus allegedly gave without a parable
Matthew 4:17. Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
(Stop doing things the old way, relying on teachers to tell you what to do and telling you you have to die to enter heaven, you can enter and experience the joy of heaven's eternal life here and now on earth.)
Luke 17:20,21. ...The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, Lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
You can't see the power and energy God sends into the universe; on the other hand you experience it in your innermost self.
Matthew 6:32-34 Ask and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you: for every one who asketh receiveth; and he who seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Just do it youself. Ask around a little bit and someone will start you on the path. I follow a path I keep updating as I discover new truth. You can download it FREE. Anyone ne who hasn't made a personal contact with God, the Universal Life Force that communicates with us from somewhere in the Quantum Field should try it. Go to http://www.clineclark.com/care. It might work for you, too. If it doesn't, don't give up, there's a different path for you. If it does, tell people about it. Not I, but the Message is important!
Matthew 7:15. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
When you are pursuing your personal purpose and the spiritual energy and knowhow to achieve it, there will be many who will distract you from your activity by clever words and deceptons. If you find that they want to control your emotional, physical and intellectal independence - especially if it costs you money, forgive them, bless them, turn your back on them and walk away. The wolves in sheep's clothing are anxious to lead you into their trap of mental slavery.
There are numerous ways of seeking and finding the Kingdom of Heaven within you and be as he was then, as you can be now, consciously united as one with the creator of the universe, NOW!
