I fear you will be sorely disappointed...

I fear you will be sorely disappointed...

"Relieved" perhaps?

 

[Demosthenes]

What really worries me is the possibility that there is this potentially transformative event approaching that could reasonably be described as an opportunity for the salvation or ascension of humanity, but we're going to be so dumb that we're going to ignore all the signs, hide under our beds when it happens, and then after the opportunity's passed us by we're going be stuck on this merry-go-round for ever, saying, shit, oh well, we'll have to go back to work now...

Around Jan 20th maybe?

 

[Demosthenes]

I'm a little curious to find out what you said dillinger, but previous experience tells me not to bother, maybe someone else could quote it if I really ought to read it.

 

[Demosthenes]

Around Jan 20th maybe?

I don't know what's so special about jan 20th apart from it being my daughter's birthday, she's 20.01/2001, which is kind of cool.

oh and of course obama gets inaugurated. But, if people like the idea of the twentieth of january, well maybe they should explain their thinking to me.

Your previous experience serves you well.

Well did not Jesus say that when he came again, many would claim to know him.

 

[Demosthenes]

Well yes, -- on the other hand I don't think he envisaged just being generally ignored.

 

[Peakman]

Well yes, -- on the other hand I don't think he envisaged just being generally ignored.

Not "ignored" they just didn't recognizes him, except the mysterious one that is. John:21:4,5,6, & 7

 

[Peakman]

Okay, thanks for that. I myself have no idea what to expect, if indeed anything. It's just that I stumbled upon something which eventually led me to identifying the date at which this age comes to it's close, and of course the time at which the next age will commence. What is to happen at, "The close of the age"? That is the big question. Read the Gospels, they have something to say about it, but that depends upon whether you accept the Gospels as, well, "Gospel truth". All I know is that identifying the date and time of the close of this age, is no different to us all being able to identify the exact time this year will end and next year begin. What, apart from a firework display or two, will happen at that moment? Nothing, except that everyone will wish each other a happy and prosperous New Year. However allot of people have plans to to be fulfilled during the coming year. The prophecies concerning the close of this age, originally a Zoroastrian concept, have however, as you can see, a very long history. Taken up by the Jews during sojourn as guests of Nebuchadnezar. it then transferred to Christianity via the man himself. There are other factors which I may introduce, or maybe not, depending upon any interest, that support "my?" theory. Whatever, it matters not allot, seeing as how the time is upon us. So not long before we will know whether there is anything in all of this. At least it's controversial and "Controversial" could be my middle name.

As we are about to enter the Aquarian age, I will now post something I doodled back in '87. "An ode to planet earth". If ever there was a "Mystical period" for me, it was then, stuff, most of which did not make sense to me (So I know how you feel ) at the time just kept "coming down to me", so I just wrote it down, dated and filed it, usually in a draw, as this was, well it has emerged, so I'll post it now.

Do you bring laughter,
Or do you bring tears.

Do you heal the sick,
Or do you bring sickness.

Do you bring to it beauty,
Or do you bring ugliness.

Do you conserve it,
Or do you plunder it.​
