Craig the Psychic

In the article “The Prophet’s Secret” I bring up the Hermetic idea of “Cyclic Law” and how things tend to repeat themselves for any number of reasons, typically due to natural mechanics such as we see in the rotation of the planets, the change of the seasons, etc.  Then on the page tied to the article “It’s Just Cold Reading”  under the “Healthy Skepticism” post, I address issues of a more “Prophetic” nature; circumstances that we owe reason to not just be aware of, but help others to likewise see and take action around.

Since the questionable events of the 2000 election year the U.S. has undergone a dangerous transmutation via which the idea of Patriotism has become the façade of Nationalism; the ideology of national supremacy and righteousness which, in this particular instance, is enveloped by an very bastardized version of Christianity known to most as “Evangelical Christianity”; a very politically potent, psychologically cunning cult that seems hell-bent in forcing the citizens of the U.S. to adopt a theocratic mode of governance – the very sort of thing the early settlers came here to get away from.

I’d made mention in that column, two movies that made me feel very disgusted and even dirty, for being both, an American and former member of the U.S. Navy -- "Battle for Haditha" and "Constantine's Sword" Two films that reveal a version of the U.S. Military as being an ego-driven, machismo ridden collection of self-righteous thugs that justify their bigotry under the banner of religion in the same exact manner all religiously inspired fanatics tend to do. . .

. . . HINT: I’m referring to that militant faction of Islam that has bastardized the teachings of the Koran just as America’s fundamentalists have done with the Bible.

I cannot lay total blame on the shoulders of George W. Bush for the situation the world has inherited or the reprise of today’s evangelic acts of abuse, he was merely the key that unlocked the doors to the barn and let the cows loose; his personal views and ego preventing him from seeing the more complete picture of what would possibly occur as the result of his “frankness” and expression of belief.  He’s not alone in such transgressions, all of us are guilty of it on some level; the left-side of the American political world seeking to take things to ridiculous extremes, most of which no one has considered the long-term ramifications over, let alone the sense of burden such antics would impose on the greater whole.

No, Bush is not the sole culprit, just part of the catalyst, other events or “non-events” are likewise part of the key, starting with two related situations; the anticipation of JC’s return and the supposed Rapture of the Saints on the turn of the century and of course the follow-up to this same missed appointment a year later, both of which placed serious mud on the faces of some well-known, outspoken Tv Evangelists who found themselves seriously back-peddling and inventing this and that excuse.

I do find it ironic however, the fact that the Biblical Prophecies state very directly that “NO MAN WILL KNOW THE MOMENT OF MY RETURN” and yet, with every passing decade, century, millennia and comet we hear the famed cry that the Lord Cometh and the Days of Judgement are at Hand.

While there is a truth to these claims, they are nowhere near close to resembling the fantasiful ideas painted in the bible and clung to by the faithful.  Rather, the judgement befalls us all as individuals that are obliged to overcome their false piety and pettiness, our greed and lusts, as well as our delusions of superiority.  The “Hell” to which we are condemned exists only in the knowledge of personal truth and the chaos it creates within the self, until it is rectified and our lives brought into balance.  This is the essences of “Salvation” and the reality of true “Enlightenment”.  Unfortunately, it is such a simple ideology that man refuses to heed its warning; embracing instead a far more dangerous course which, at our present time, is bringing all of human society back to the brink of a horrendous conflagration.

REMEMBER IT’S ALL CYCLIC and as such history really does repeat itself; time and again man will justify its reason to suppress and even enslave others.  If it is to be viewed as an historically accurate tome (which it has been proven to not be) the Bible itself boasts of a blood-lust held by the very God its patrons worship; the conquests and wars waged by the ancient Jews in which genocide was an aspect of the goal (because God didn’t care too much for certain races, it would seem) let alone religious suppression – persecution of peoples that would not denounce the gods of their heritage and pay reverence to the God of Israel.  Then we have the famed Crusades of old via which “The Church” justified the murder of Jews alongside the children of Islam only to prey on its own through the latter invention of the Inquisition and an invented sense of propaganda that has been applied to any and all that would not “fit” the Church’s format well into our present time.

Did you notice anything in what was just pointed out?

Like I’ve said, it’s “Cyclic”, go and re-read that paragraph and see if you can notice an aspect of the pattern, there’s actually two key factors you should be able to see;

• The Cycle of Religious Oppression and Related Genocide-styled Objectives

• The Karmic Ramifications – how, after a long history of doing the persecution and conquering the Jews ended up in the position of “victim” – the oppressed that are tormented by others seeking to convert them to a certain religious point of view.

If the law of Cycles hold true then events that were initiated during the 8-years of the Bush administration will be turning the world on its ear as the next decade unfolds, bringing about a calamity that will require no fewer than three generations to repair once it is brought under some semblance of “control”.

A One World Government

It’s one of the biggest fears tied to Christendom and yet such things have existed, even leading to the inception of the modern-day Church which is literally, an extension of what Rome once represented; Rome once standing as the government of the known world with an emperor who was recognized as “the great beast”.  In many ways proof that some folks don’t know what they are talking about even when it’s starring them in the face. But people of faith seem to thrive on drama – the delusion that “God” does things in grand ways when in truth, the gods all work in accordance to natural law.

The Utopian Idea of a One World Government predates the rise of Christianity by more than a bit of time, it is however a “Pagan” concept and thus, by the invented standards of this “new” cult, a taboo and evil thing. After all, such a thing came from the mind of a Pagan so it had to be an invention of the devil himself, right?

When “The League of Nations” was formed fundamentalists rang the alarm, screaming that the end was nigh and yet, nothing happened.  As the events leading up to World War II unfolded the League was transformed into what we today refer to as the United Nations  and once again heard the shouting of maniacs who deliberately painted a terrible image in the minds of their congregations via which Nationalism and National Identity become interwoven with one’s faith and sense of “correctness” – being one with the divine. The Irony to it all is that the prophetic vision shared by John in the book of Revelation, actually tells of a One World Government as a source for hope and glory – a world ruled by the Christ (see Revelation Chapters 21 & 22).  A vision that is remarkably close to the Plato’s idea behind Utopia (later expanded upon by Sir Thomas More in his novel “Utopia”), a world governed by the wise and learned sages of all human society.

IF my suspicions are correct and history is on the verge of repeating itself in ways that will make Hitler’s Holocaust look like a warm-up act, then the only way out will be by way of an International effort headed-up by a focused and probably charismatic leader.  I have my doubts however, that such an individual is the Devil’s off-spring as certain groups would have us believe given the level of compassion and sense of humanity they would have to have I order to take charge and do what will have to be done so that peace might become known.  I can assure you, it will be drastic measures and no one will escape said axe, all of human society will have to pay in this case but not in the manner many might assume.

The Price for Peace in this instance will involve a kind of “World Church” if you would.  While this is likewise an aspect of the Christian “end times” prophecies it is likewise a very positive prediction found in many of the world’s great traditions, the idea that humankind will finally awaken to the fact that we are all far more alike than not and too, most all of us have the same core beliefs and it is time to embrace what is common and discard the theology that creates strife.

On the surface this sounds as if Religion is being “out lawed” but in truth, it is being graduated and as such, allows us to each move forward, free of the antiquated perspectives and opinions imposed on our ancestors and ourselves, over the millennia.  What is being “out lawed” is dogma and what is being brought forward is a tradition by which we embrace the common virtues and wisdom given to us by the prophets, mystics and wise ones of the past.  It is not an atheistic or agnostic expression nor is there any demand for people to take some mythical mark upon their brow or the palm of their hand; nor will anyone be forced to pay alms to Satan or any of his various incarnations.  Spiritual life will be steeped in simplicity and pragmatism, something that will prove close to present day Buddhism with a sufficient dose of Taoism to assure us all of a benevolent communal sense of being.

Believe it or not, this would very much be a time in which “the Christ” rules all of the earth.  Not in the physical form of some legendary Jewish teachers that was crucified nearly 2,000 years ago, but in the literal essence of what “The Christ” or “Cristos” refers to – an age of true spiritual enlightenment; when all of the human race choses to consciously abide by the aesthetics of common wisdom and truth, working together in order to achieve mutual greatness in all things . . .

. . . which would of course, include the repair of the planet and restoration of its limitless beauty.

What I Have Seen

Imagine what it is like to be all of 14 years of age and taken from your bed by an etheric visitor, on a flight about the globe by which you see wonderful things.  Yet, as the visitation comes to its close you are shown horror upon horror – a time of great calamity and inhumanity that seems to envelope all that you had previously surveyed.

Over the course of two summers this was my reality. In most instances the Astral adventures would land me in a classroom of sorts where I would be given insight to things viewed as being little other than part of a dream until many years later, when such would be confirmed. The latter, distorted finale however, is part of what drives me in that it came with a promise of hope as well.

There is an old saying about having to go through hell in order to get to heaven, these experiences alongside the many little dramas we each endure in life, would suggest that such is so.  The Hell given us by both World Wars allowed humanity to move forward on a multitude of levels when it comes to science and technology; this next great conflict taking us just as far but this time it will be on the emotional, mental and spiritual line of things.  Simply put things will prove too overwhelming for any of us to cope and the only solution will have to come by way of spiritual integrity and a love of humanity and the planet itself.

We will not be blasted back to the days of the caveman, nor the less technological times of a century ago. But we will learn how to define technology and control its grip on us.  We will learn to remember what actually is precious and important in life and stop trying to have more and be more than our fellows.  People will be allowed to be people and so long as our individual expression brings no sense of harm or loss unto others, we will be free to actually LIVE and function within life in ways that harmonize with the global community vs. political idealism and economic tyranny.

The Days of Judgment Are At Hand

Though we will endure calamity and chaos in the not so distant future; things wrought by both, man and nature, the real hell we must calm exists within.  Each of us must reconcile with “God” as it were, and in so doing, resign from the establishments the claim to represent “God” and elect to know the Divine from within; realizing that this essence exists in ALL of the human race and to spite it on any level, is to spite god itself.

Digest these things as you would, share them as you will.

Blessed Be!

Astral Visions & Youth

Certain traditions suggest that when a child first identifies with the world and consciously remembers things, is when they express certain past-life traits as well as karmic challenges; everything from language skills and sexual proclivities to manifested modes of depression, anger and general phobia.  The list an long and yet, much of it seemingly sustained through the auspices of present-day mental health research.

There are two other (primary) points in a  person's life in which this kind of "awareness' comes to the fore; the on-set of Puberty being the most pronounced along with those latter life changes in our body chemistry; the shifts of said mechanics shaking up the cocktail that is we.

These periods of natural stimulation tend to trigger certain "Psychic" aspects in the self -- spiritually related realizations and experiences that most of us ignore in the moment and ultimately either forget or manage to suppress (after all, no one wants to be seen as a "freak", right?)

Special Children -- the Old Ones

Evolved souls that return to this plane can have serious difficulty in these times of awakening, simply because they rarely have someone to talk to about them.  Most that were born over the past several centuries into proper "Christian" homes, would be seriously beaten if not murdered, under the excuse of "Possession", a claim that is still silently being used as an excuse for certain families to disown their off-spring and cast them into the world without foundation. 

Though I was forced to suppress my sensitivity during my youngest of days and share my experiences only with a select few in my older, teen years, I consider myself rather fortunate in that I at least have recollection of certain events and as such, an understanding that may prove prudent to us all. The theory that all of us undergo a kind of Astral tutelage when young; those "imaginary" friends of our toddling years as well as the more fantastic, real feeling dreams encountered during puberty -- the one's in which flight and feeling as if you were in a classroom being most important for they were genuine experiences upon the Astral dimension. . . 

. . . or so I believe.

I also believe that there are more of us alive today who have had these experiences and have the ability to recall them in somewhat accurate and detailed ways, than ever before in known history; a gathering of elder spirits -- those that will help prepare the way for things to come while guised in the roles of warrior, diplomat, prophet and guide. . . frequently all in one physical form.

I do not share this thought as an excuse upon which one can bolster their ego-craving for "being special", only to note that special things are afoot and we have come at this time so as to fulfill a very specific sense of destiny. 

I also believe that one side of my personal "Calling" is to help awaken those in the world that have come, but sharing this particular message, encouraging them to remember those days of transition and ponder the messages -- the lessons given to them.

I could be wrong of course, I might just be a mad-man talking off the top of his head.  I just don't think that's the case however.

I pray that you soon find this light and remember who you are and why you are here, now.
