Jesus Was Born When the Flocks of Sheep and Shepherds Were Still in the Fields at Night


Sepphoris are shorter Palm trees native to Bethlehem at the time Jesus was born. Sepphoris is also the ancient Greek name of the town which has the Hebrew name of Tzipori. Hist0ry shows the Magi visited Jesus, Mary, and Joseph when he was 2 years old in Bethlehem, which is why Herod sent the order out for his henchmen to kill all baby boys ages 2 years and under. They were not part of this popular Christmas scene. I teach about this accurate history in my 2024 International Impact Book Awards winning book, IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled, UNIVERSAL WISDOM.

No one knows the real birthday of Jesus. But one thing is for sure. It is not on December 25. Several facts point to the actual birth of Jesus taking place in September or October. Some sources speculate perhaps it was in the spring. Humanity glosses over a lot of facts when it wants to believe something that is not true, but popular especially if it is based on tradition.

Let us look at the facts. At the time of the birth of Jesus, when that big new star was shining in the night sky, shepherds were out in the fields, watching their flocks by night. Shepherds were able to keep their flocks of sheep out in the fields day and night during warmer weather, until the rainy season began. They went by the Jewish months in the Torah. The rainy season was called Heshvan, in what is now autumn. When the winter months arrived, it was too cold with frost and snow to keep the sheep out in the fields. Shepherds were not out in the fields during the winter.

Remember that the reason for Mary and Joseph to go to Bethlehem, as this bible story is told, was to register for the census. It was the first registration of people of the earth of its kind. Caesar Augustus sent out a decree for all the inhabited earth to be registered. Even the Syrian Governor Quirinius was interested in the outcome. Everyone belonging to the house of David had to register in Bethlehem. This census would not have taken place in the winter when the roads would have been treacherous with ice and snow. However, other than the bible, history does not have a record of such a census.

So why was the celebration of the birth of Jesus put on December 25?

The decision to put the birth of Jesus on December 25, the Iranian god Mithra’s (their sun god’s) birthday, was to Christianize it, if there is such a thing.

The original December 25 celebration was established by none other than Nimrod of Babylonian fame. Nimrod and his wife, Ishtar, pronounced “Easter”, who self-dubbed herself as “Semiramis, Night Goddess of the Moon,” began the ungodly celebrations. They also created popular new customs that became instantly popular, like cutting down evergreen trees and decorating them with silver and gold ornaments, putting up wreaths and mistletoe, and Yule logs.

Sound familiar?

At the time of the birth of Jesus, approximately 6-4 BCE, people did not want to give up these popular customs, except for the child-sacrificing part. By this time, they also included celebrating the god of sowing and harvest, Saturn, which was celebrated on December 17 (in today’s calendar). This is the famous Saturnalia festival. Nimrod expanded the celebrating time between December 17-25 as a time of unbridled revelry, anything goes, wild parties, drunken orgies, decadent food, and, of course, his fear-based sacrificing their first-born children to the fire so they, the parent, would reach enlightenment. It was also a power-play of fear to obey Nimrod. If they did not sacrifice their first-born child, they were made to “walk through the fire” themselves.

What kind of “god” would require this horrible tradition?

When the Roman government wanted to rule over the entire world, it was decided to put the celebration of the birth of Jesus on Mithra’s feast day, December 25, as a way to entice new Christians to switch over to belief in Jesus, instead of celebrating Mithra as the “Sun god.” They thought they could trade the “Sun god,” for the “Son of God.” However, all of the customs and traditions that celebrate the false, man-made god Mithra (man-made by Nimrod and Ishtar), remain to this day, like Easter, the famous “Ishtar” celebration with “Easter,” as in “Ishtar” eggs and celebrations in the spring.

All of the other religious holiday traditions likewise replaced secular feast days and celebrations, like the Spring and Fall Equinoxes and the Summer and Winter Solstice celebrations.

Many Christians today are taking a closer look at Christmas as the “reason” to celebrate the birth of Jesus. If Christians truly believe that Jesus is the “reason for the season,” then we ought to be celebrating the birth of Jesus when he was actually born, in September, October, or any other month when crass grows in the field, not on a false, pagan god holiday, complete with all of the false God’s customs and traditions, on December 25.

This babe, Jesus, came to shine the Light of God and to inform humanity that the Light of God also is within everyone who adopts his profound example of peace, forgiveness, and genuine love. This is the Christ Eternal Universal Life Force Energy he came to share. It invokes a metanoia of the heart, from the seed of Nimrod inclination (a seedling remnant of Nephilim genealogy) to the Christ Energy illumination which this new-born babe later taught in his life’s example.

Was the world ready to hear this?

The words of Jesus were conveniently changed to “among you” for a few centuries, changing the meaning of the words of Jesus, but all bibles are currently correcting this error, in Luke 17:20-21.

Have you ever asked yourself why there are so many Roman Catholic Churches in every city and state in the world?

As mentioned earlier, the Roman government wanted to rule the world. The bishops at the Council of Laodicea had to get their changes also approved by the Roman Emperor. It was not merely a religious consideration. Today we would call this the union of church and state. My book, IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS goes into detail about exactly how this happened.

There is much that has been misunderstood about the life of Jesus, including what has been neatly omitted from modern bibles, which does appear in the hidden scriptures found at Nag Hammadi, Egypt and the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Books of Enoch hold such pearls from which even Jesus has quoted.

Some groups wanted to preserve those poignant words of Jesus, like the Cathars. Hiding these words of enlightenment would preserve them until the time came for them to be understood by humanity.

Other groups in power did not want the empowering words of Jesus to continue to spread. It is understandable why certain religious and political groups wanted to suppress the words of Jesus from his ages 12 to 30, as well as his years from 33 to 120. This is one of the reasons for the Crusades, which paint the extreme measures religious and political leaders went to silence those who believed all the words of Jesus.

These supposedly “missing” years and words of Jesus Christ are simply too empowering. They were buried so that religious and political leaders of Jesus’ day could retain their power, fame, and fortune. The same is true for what is occurring on today’s stage in every country in the world.

There is so much more for us to know than the convenient stories that have repeated on an infinity loop since what has been taught since sixth grade. This is exactly why I wrote my latest book, IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS. This is the first book in this trilogy.

Read this book if you want to learn more about accurate history found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, 52 mostly Gnostic treatises, 3 works belonging to Corpus Hermeticum, and a partial translation of Plato’s Republic. It was discovered that these codices may have once belonged to a nearby Pachomian monastery.

Religious censorship, coupled with political censorship, prohibited humanity from learning empowering knowledge that would have advanced historical knowledge for nearly 2,000 years. Since 367 AD Athanasius preferred humanity only know the first 12 years of the life of Jesus and his last 3 years, for a total of 15 years, while burying the other 18 years of the life of Jesus prior to his age 33, as well as those additional 87 years from his ages 33 to 120.

Who is it exactly who would not want you to know this?

How old are you?

This is adult censorship. You have the right to think for yourself, not be spoon-fed the pablum that has placated humanity since the Savior, Jesus Christ graced this planet.

The personal power that Jesus taught to everyone worldwide for their own empowerment was such a threat to religious and political leaders worldwide that freakish control systems were established with long reaching tenets that strangle humanity still today in many cases.

It is unconscionable that humanity has been kept in the constrictive bounds of grammar school knowledge concerning the life of Jesus. I wrote IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS so humanity can finally learn all that Jesus taught, not only the sanitized and manipulating version that places the flocks of religions and political groups under the controlling thumb of oppression, fear, obligation, guilt, and threats to their immortal Spirits/Souls.

It is time to come out of Plato’s allegorical cave of ignorance. Give yourself a special Christmas present and learn all that Jesus Christ came to teach you. It is all explained in my book, IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled, UNIVERSAL WISDOM, available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Play Books and anywhere books are sold.

My New Year’s resolution is to publish IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled, UNIVERSAL WISDOM as an audio book like I did with the ever-growing-popular book, MY RED BAG OF COURAGE, subtitled, SURVIVAL WISDOM.

LOVE IS THE LIGHT OF WISDOM for NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS


It is never too late for miracles. Complete annihilation is the energy of the fallen angels and their Nephilim children Spirits.

The following is an excerpt from my latest book, IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled, UNIVERSAL WISDOM:

“Presently, I observe people regressing and dissecting themselves into segmented groups as if humanity is not All One. All labels that people place on themselves, and others are part of what will keep humanity divided, since labels divide rather than unify. We will have peace when the Eternal Universal Life Force Energy radiating by Its Light of Love and Wisdom educates everyone of this fact. People have told me that I am ahead of the curve on this subject. But if we keep beating the dysfunctional drum of labels and divisions worldwide, we stay in dysfunction because WHAT WE FOCUS ON GROWS.

“When I was growing up in Mississippi for a couple of years, I noticed the intense social push backing either segregation versus desegregation policies, black versus white people, as if one were better than another, or that one race would contaminate the other, as if God liked one race over the other.

“My friend when I was seven years old was the daughter of the black woman who came to iron the clothes of my aunt, in whose house my mother, new adoptive-father and I also lived. I was allowed to go have dinner with this black family and play with my friend, but only once. Evidently, I was not supposed to have a black friend in 1962, at least not in Mississippi.

“I loved learning about the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. My mother and I felt like he did, that God loved all people. Dr. King graduated from Boston College in 1955 receiving his doctorate in systemic theology, the year I was born in Massachusetts. On April 4, 1968, after my family had moved back to Massachusetts, we were driving about one hour outside of Memphis, Tennessee on our way to visit our Mississippi family, when suddenly over the car radio it was announced that Dr. King had been shot. He died one hour later. I cried. Tears are in my eyes now as I remember that moment so vividly. My parents were panicked, feeling like they needed to take another route to Mississippi that would not make us be a family of white people driving through that area. News bulletins aired the chaos over the radio. Dr. King was a prominent leader in the civil rights movement, and a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. He lived, breathed, and promoted nonviolence and civil disobedience.

“Today, we continue to tackle civil rights, women’s rights, veteran’s rights, religious rights, political rights, disability rights, handicap rights, and LGBTQQIPSAA rights, among so many other rights in our quest to prove all men (and women of course!) are truly created equal.

“This latest dissection that humanity is experiencing is changing language, including personal pronouns, making listening to the conversations very confusing, especially when you are not present to know if what is being said refers to one or more than one person.

“Max Planck, the German theoretical physicist who won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1918 for his discovery of energy quanta, said, ‘Modern physics has taught us that the nature of any system cannot be discovered by dividing it into its component parts and studying each part by itself… We must keep our attention fixed on the whole and on the interconnection between the parts. The same is true of our intellectual life. It is impossible to make a clear cut between science, religion, and art. The whole is never equal to the sum of its various parts.’[1]

“Yet, this is exactly what humanity is currently trying to do concerning the system of which every human being is a part. Classifying and dissecting humanity into separate labels, noting all the differences, will never be as complete as the mass of humanity together as a whole.

“As people try to define and identify themselves by color, creed, age, abilities, disabilities, including multiple gender variations, language, and every other dissection of human diversity humans can contrive, the separation intended to highlight human uniqueness results in diminishing human life by reducing it to its limited assessment of itself.

“Humanity is not limited to its talents, achievements, or any understanding of each unique self. These are all judgments you place upon yourself and others, as well as judgments others place upon themselves and you. It would be well for everyone to simply stop judging and live their own lives.

“Playing God, or pretending to know God based on archaic, maligned, fallen angel and Nephilim inspired hate speech is the root of all evil personified in this present generation, in every country in the world. It is time to recognize which traits belong to Eternal Universal Life Force Energy by the Wisdom and Love.

“If you are hearing the dark drum dirges of rants of “murder, death, kill” vibrations in your church, organization, or social group, pay attention to the feelings of rage, stress, and chaos as tell-tale markers to get out of this unholy cult-like mentality, otherwise, this will be a mission and dharma you will have to work out either as karma now, or in another lifetime to learn Wisdom and Love. Eternal Universal Life Force Energy has no need for you to defend It.

“Here is one example of “double think,” holding two opposite viewpoints, while believing both equally, as George Orwell’s book, 1984, points out. It is literally a lived-lie. Both opposites cannot possibly be true at the same time. We can’t love and hate the same thing at the same time, since hate is the absence of love. They are not “just differences of opinion” as a few people have tried to explain their prejudicial and hateful views to me. It is also impossible to have knowledge of and not know something at the same time.”

Gratitude for You Reading my Blog Since February 1, 2012 ~ Worldwide Readership


You will notice the number at the bottom left of the picture, but that only counts the United States readers. The total number of readers is 120,991 at the moment. Thank you for you. You will notice the pink spots show where readers come from.

I write about all issues affecting humanity, with a focus on how to help humanity with empathy, compassion, and understanding. At this time of year, many people are focusing on the birth and life of Jesus, even in the midst of war ravaging our one home planet. People are dying in unjust causes, aggression, greed and land grabs. People are suffering in all kinds of ways.

How can one blog help the world?

Every minute of every day every individual makes choices on how to live their life the very best each one can. People do not usually make bad choices unless their backs are up against the wall with no way out.

I wish to tell the world there is always a way out that saves the most life, especially human life. No one can balance the scales of injustice by more of what caused the problem in the first place. This is obvious.

What kind of world do you wish to live in?

Some people choose to live in denial. But ignorance is not bliss.

Every single person on this planet matters, regardless of nationality, race, color, creed, age, gender, job description or any other division we opt to select as our unique trait. Not one of us is better than the other. To think otherwise is to trip on a self-inflated ego illusion.

Jesus was born to a Middle Eastern family, which is not Caucasian. He spoke of peace, love, forgiveness, kindness, virtue and goodness. Like Gautama Buddha, he taught about non-violence. Now is a good time to consider how each of us can apply these principles to our daily lives. So often we forget. Our thoughts, words, and actions make all the difference in the world, literally.

This is not all about what the other guy ought to be thinking, doing, and saying. That would be indoctrination. You are not the boss of anyone else but yourself, even if you are the titled boss of a corporation or army of people. At this moment, I am speaking to every individual, whoever and wherever you are.

Begin with yourself by treating yourself better, getting enough sleep, healthy food and clearing all negative thoughts, words, and actions. Decide if you are on the right path for your life. Who is watching out for your life, health, and happiness?

There is more involved than indoctrination and obeying senseless rules and obligations. Choose life. Stand up for principle and honor peacefully. There is always the possibility to take the road less traveled with peace, kindness, empathy and compassion at the helm.

Leave the group of people who beat the drum of low vibrations of prejudice, gossip, slander, racism, and anarchy. No country in the world flourishes when all of humanity is not taken care of with peace, love, and joy. This is the goal, to live in peace and harmony for all humankind in every land.

The following is the list readership views. Understand that there are 46,769 additional views as of this post not counted in the totals below, due to when I upgraded my WordPress.com blog. Every country, territory, and protectorate in the world is included in this readership.

I wish to say a special thanks to those on the original Princess Dawn Cruise Ship and the Royal Majesty of the Seas Cruise Ship crews for taking my business card for this blog from my hand and sharing this blog to all the islands and beautiful faraway places.

Likewise, I wish to show my gratitude from the bottom of my heart, for my clients and friends who have taken my words back to their native friends and family, back to their homelands and on vacations to these special places all over our one Earth. We are all ONE HUMAN FAMILY.

All human beings are born with their own mind, body, and spirit. This Spirit/Soul connection to what animates you is Eternal Universal Life Force Energy. Knowing that is the gift of wisdom. One faith or belief system does not own “it.” If you are alive, you have “it.”

“When my husband and I first retired, we went to every church in the area to see what they were preaching. While some danced in the aisles with long ribbons flowing with Spirit, they were missing all the words Jesus taught. They only seemed to be aware of a few of His words. That church has now been taken over by another. Other churches had their minister friends yelling at them from the pulpit, while other ministers had quieter versions of the same edited bibles which omitted the empowering words of Jesus shining a light on the fact that the Light of God dwelt within their very beings. They did not seem to take the words of 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 seriously, that their very body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit that dwells inside them.

“Numerous books have been written about God the Father, and Jesus the Son. Historically there is this whimsical notion of an elusive Spirit of God, always referred to with feminine qualities. They have personified Eternal Universal Life Force Energy with genders, yet this Energy has no gender. Energy breathed into Adam by the Spirit of God, animates all human beings, male, female, and every other gender classification.

“Light is also a form of Energy. Jesus told us we are alive by this Limitless Living Light. (Light is how Energy travels.)

“I witness common threads that permeate various groups of adults, who cave to peer pressure, feeling that they must give their allegiance to others politically, socially, and/or religiously, while simultaneously, advising their emotionally and intellectually immature adolescent children not give in to peer pressure. These ones need to reassess their motives to be better role models for themselves, the youth, and humanity all over the globe. This is how to build a better tomorrow. Now is the time for courage. Courage is not having no fear. Rather, courage is feeling fear, but peacefully doing the right thing, the moral thing, with integrity, despite the presence of fear.” taken from my latest book, IN THEIR IMAGE AND LIKENESS, subtitled, UNIVERSAL WISDOM.

MYSTERY OF THE STURBRIDGE KEYS ~ Fiction Time Travel Novel ~ Brie Babysits 2-Year-Old Jesus


https://www.iuniverse.com/BookStore/BokDetails/747239-Mystery-of-the-Sturbridge-Keys

Brie is the thirteen-year-old protagonist of this fiction novel, at a time when a young, strong, female character is so needed in the world. She deals with individuality and relationships, and comes to realize there is only one race, the human race. She time travels to the birth of Jesus in a stable, hears the choirs of angels sing, and babysits Jesus.

In other chapters, Brie gets captured by the Nephilim, meets Noah and his family, and travels to the Sanctuary of the Great God’s in Greece.  Her cousin Abby, Grammy Rose, and Aunt Cher share the adventures.

Sanctuary of the Gods, Northern Aegean, Island of Samothrace

Brie and her family sail the Mediterranean Sea with Dodanim of Noah’s lineage, helps save the day during the Roman wheat shortage, hears Jesus firsthand give the Sermon on the Mount, meets Apostles Paul and Timothy on the island of Samothrace, and learns why Stephen, the first Christian martyr, was stoned to death.

While Brie and part of her family time travel, her remaining family is attending Old Sturbridge Village’s 70th Anniversary in 2016, featuring the Christmas By Candlelight annual celebration.  Brie’s mother, Sarah, her brother Greg and her cousin Abe, who is Abby’s twin, enjoy a fascinating journey through the Underground Railroad with Harriet Tubman, Abraham Lincoln, Charles Darwin, Charles Dickens, Panic of 1837, an introduction to the Rev. Adin Ballou, angels and Santa Claus; all presented in the many historic buildings that make up the Village.

The snow filled evening is complete with a Christmas turkey dinner, horse-drawn sleigh and carriage rides, a moving wall, a hidden library, a ring of antique keys, antique locked books and adventures with Bactrian camels, wolves, to allow a family to learn little known historical connections between Noah’s sons, and the Babylonian, Mede-Persian, Greek and Roman Empires.

This book is inspired by a set of large keys handed down to me from my grandfather, F. Louis Tetreault. I am sure these keys went to the farm on Blackstone Street, Mendon, Massachusetts, either to the barn, locked chests, equipment, or to the house both he and my grandmother, Maria (Benoit) Tetreault lived in. My mother is number thirteen of fourteen children. Mom, cousins and your families, I love you all. I am so glad my Canadian French grandparents had so many children, or else I would not be here, or have had so many cousins to make my childhood so happy.

Pepere’s keys and cup made at Old Sturbridge Village

Or the keys might have belonged to my grandparents’ Vermont cottage or the shed on Sheldon Hill Road, with the Wardsboro Brook directly behind it, where my sister, cousins and I would brave the icy waters flowing into our tiny, dammed up swimming spot. When I was young, I would often spend weeks and months living with them in their home away from home, while my mother, as a single parent, worked full-time painting radon on watch hands so they would glow in the dark. Both my beloved grandparents have since passed away and were very dear to me. These keys remind me of them.

The book’s first timely publication would have covered the April 20, 2016 announcement by the United States Treasury planning to put Harriet Tubman’s picture on the front of the $20 bill, moving President Andrew Jackson to the back in the year 2020, had it not been undermined during the Trump Presidency. Fascinating information between President Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin is also included in this work of fiction. The names of Old Sturbridge Village including all the buildings at this place, and the Christmas by Candlelight celebration are real. However, I have never attended the Christmas by Candlelight celebration, and the adventures in this book are pure exciting fiction.

Also, real names in this area are: Thai Place, Annie’s Country Kitchen, The Bird Store and More, Brimfield Antique Center, Southwick’s Zoo, McLean Hospital, Harrington Hospital, B.T.’s Smokehouse, and the Sturbridge Tourist Center, now transformed into an ice cream shop.

Jesus Was Born In September Or October Not December 25, The Feast Day of Pagan god Mithras


No one knows the real birthday of Jesus. But one thing is for sure. It is not on December 25. Several facts point to the actual birth of Jesus taking place in September or October.

Let us look at the facts. At the time of the birth of Jesus, when that big new star was shining in the night sky, shepherds were out in the fields, watching their flocks by night. Shepherds were able to keep their flocks of sheep out in the fields day and night during the summer and into the early fall months, until the rainy season began. They went by the Jewish months in the Torah. The rainy season was called Heshvan, in what is now fall. When the winter months arrived, it was too cold with frost and snow to keep the sheep out in the fields. Shepherds were not out in the fields during the winter.

Remember that the reason for Mary and Joseph to go to Bethlehem was to register for the census. It was the first registration of people of the earth of its kind. Caesar Augustus sent out a decree for all the inhabited earth to be registered. Even the Syrian Governor Quirinius was interested in the outcome. Everyone belonging to the house of David had to register in Bethlehem. This census would not have taken place in the winter when the roads would have been treacherous with ice and snow.

So why was the celebration of the birth of Jesus moved to December 25?

At the time of the decision to put the birth of Jesus on December 25, (the Iranian god Mithras’s (their sun god) birthday was on December 25, established by none other than Nimrod of Babylonian fame); the Roman Empire was in charge. Nimrod and Ishtar, who self-dubbed herself as “Semiramis, Goddess of the Moon.” They created popular new customs that became instantly popular, like cutting down evergreen trees and decorating them with silver and gold ornaments, putting up wreaths and mistletoe, and Yule logs. Sound familiar?

People did not want to give up these popular customs, which also included celebrating the god of sowing and harvest, Saturn, which was celebrated on December 17 (in today’s calendar). Nimrod expanded the celebrating time between December 17-25 as a time of unbridled revelry, anything goes, wild parties, drunken orgies, and decadent food.

When the Roman government wanted to rule over the entire world, it was decided to put the celebration of the birth of Jesus on Mithras’s feast day, December 25, as a way to entice new Christians to switch over to belief in Jesus, instead of celebrating Mithras as the “Sun god.” They thought they could trade the “Sun god,” for the “Son God.” However, all of the customs and traditions that celebrate the false, man-made god Mithras (man-made by Nimrod and Ishtar), remain to this day.

All of the other religious holiday traditions likewise replaced secular feast days and celebrations, like the Spring and Fall Equinoxes and the Summer and Winter Solstice celebrations.

Many Christians today are taking a closer look at Christmas as the “reason” to celebrate the birth of Jesus. If Christians truly believe that Jesus is the “reason for the season,” then we ought to be celebrating the birth of Jesus when he was actually born, in September or October, not on a false, pagan god holiday, complete with all of the false God’s customs and traditions, on December 25.

Have you ever asked yourself why there are so many Roman Catholic Churches in every city and state in the world?

There is much that has been misunderstood about the life of Jesus, including what has been neatly carved out of modern bibles, which does appear in the hidden scriptures found at Nag Hammadi and the Dead Sea Scrolls. The Books of Enoch hold such pearls from which even Jesus has quoted.

There is so much more for us to know that the convenient stories that have repeated on an infinity loop since what has been taught since sixth grade.

Nothing Can Enter Your World Unless You Invite It In ~ No One Is A Victim Of Life


If you remove all the Jews, Arabs, and immigrants from this picture, there would be no people.

Whether it is harmony or disharmony, nothing can enter your or my world unless we invite it in. What we focus on grows. We have a choice. We are not single-subject vehicles of life. Rather we are multifaceted individuals radiating the energy of our feelings spiritually, emotionally, psychologically, physically, politically, socially, financially and in many other ways into our world. We are whole. We are One.

There will always be chaos, dysfunction, and lack of peace in this world. This has been the case since its first inception eons ago, echoing out into the ethers and astral realm. Volcanoes belched out destructive lava. Cataclysmic floods ripped apart the earth until its new land masses were unrecognizable, continuing to this day reshaping coastlines everywhere.

Even in when Jesus was born, Herod sought to kill him. As a result Joseph and Mary had to flee to Egypt with Jesus, making them immigrants in an unfamiliar land so he would not be slaughtered along with the rest of the infant boys, age two and under. They were not put in cages. They were met with hospitality for years in their home away from home before it was safe to return. Still, they decided to settle in Nazareth so as not to bring too much attention to Jesus as he grew.

All of us are no different. People of every race, ethnicity, culture, color, creed, gender, and age are all part of the human race. We are all part of nature. We can be volatile. We can be peaceful. It is what we focus our attention on that makes the difference. I can choose to be part of the problem or the solution.

Somehow we expect perfection in our lives and in our countries as if we just think, speak, and do the right things, we could railroad things through. Nothing could be further from the truth. We cannot manhandle, manipulate, guilt or force others into our sense of perfection with the crack of a whip. That’s not how energy works.

What drum are You beating?

We look at the political scene and try to manipulate outcomes by concentrating on what is wrong in order to make it right. What we focus on grows. Concentrating on what is wrong is the wrong basis to build what is right, useful, and sustaining.

We look at spirituality and religions and see what is wrong in the hopes of making them right. Again we miss the mark we so desperately seek to achieve. We erroneously think, “If only people would think, say, and do the same as me then it would all work out.” This also is not so.

Why?

Notice nothing happens when any thought crosses our mind. It is only when the feeling behind the thought grows that it motivates us into action. It is the feeling that is the impetus to change.

What?

Isn’t it my brain, common sense, my thoughts that generate my world, experiences, beliefs into action?

No.

Nothing happens with any thought until the feeling of any subject inspires us into action. Without feeling, we ponder and ponder possibilities. Our thoughts will go round and round the merry-go-rounds of our minds until we decide, inspired by our feelings, to do something about the matter.

Guard your feelings with the shield of awakened consciousness. Feelings ignite all your thoughts into actions. Take the care of a gymnast training for the Olympics, or the runner training for a marathon the same as you prepare your future actions by the life-giving spark of your feelings. How many of us have regrets over our actions when we fuel the renegade feelings we choose not to control?

By the use of our free will, we decide which feelings to follow up on and which would be better not responded to. Decide never again to respond to anything. Instead, consciously decide how you will act, with empathy and compassion or not, with judgment or non-judgment, etc. It is in this conscious decision that we build up or tear down. Nothing can enter your world unless you invite it in.

Feelings are not right or wrong, they just are. However, if you do not like how you are feeling, change how you are thinking. They go hand in hand. Just realize that the power to do anything comes from the feeling, not the thinking. Just like feelings, you can change your thoughts. You are in the driver’s seat of you.

You are not the victim of neither your thoughts nor your feelings. You are in control of them. They are not in control of you. People who play the role of the victim of their lives simply have not yet learned this healing and life-generating principle.

The solution is so simple, yet our misguided feelings distract us to the point of bringing on our own dysfunction, personally, spiritually, politically, financially, socially, as well as nationwide and worldwide. It is when we lack self-control over our feelings that we decide to focus on where we do not want to go rather than the choice to foster and fertilize the ground where we do want to walk.

If only we would use our free will to focus on the good we see as opposed to the bad that captures our attention. Pour your feelings into positive thoughts, energizing them with the personal power to do good.

Pouring your feelings into negative thoughts that harm others physically, psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, politically, or financially is the biggest recipe for failure. It is self-sabotage in the highest degree. It is a recipe for disaster. It is only a matter of time before the misdirected energy is met by its equal and opposite force.

Try this instead; transform your world, your personal space, your belief system, your neighborhood, your church, your work environment, your social circles, your political and financial aspirations with life-affirming, soul-inspiring goals.

Change your focus from countering the negativity and failure of broken systems to promoting healthy equality, fairness, kindness, loving and peaceful actions. In this way, you begin taking steps forward, healing your own lives and the lives of all around you. From now on, pay no attention to what you do not want to grow.

This works in all areas of life, especially at this time of the COVID-19, Sars Co2 epidemic blanketing the world. The energy of closing your eyes and focusing your feelings on denying the reality of the death and destruction of life at this moment in history will only grow more of the same if that is your focus.

Once your feelings motivate you to whole and healthy aspirations and problem-solving remedies, you will find a quicker advancement into solutions to COVID-19 and every other problem that benefits you personally, as well as in your family, neighborhood, country and world.

Yes, others with dark, self-serving and greedy agendas will continue. It has been this way since the beginning of time on this planet. Tsunamis and worldwide cataclysms will continue to manifest as they always have. Still focus on solutions over problems.

Using your free will to fuel feelings of rage and discord will ultimately sabotage every endeavor. It is only a matter of time before that house of cards crumbles. It always has and always will.

As a counselor, I never advised punching that pillow to get all the anger out, because fueling those negative feelings only fuels more hate. Yes, you will be exhausted afterwards, but you will have wasted a great amount of time not moving forward. That is only a diversionary tactic.

You cannot move forward by looking backwards. If you have been in counseling for years, you are with the wrong counselor. When you are finally ready to heal, (sometimes we are not ready, willing, nor able to heal), then and only then will you see the truth to what I am stating here.

We need to be in balance with every aspect of our human being, not only spiritually, emotionally, psychologically, physically, politically, socially, financially and in many other ways in our world. As a fully formed human, we all need to be in balance and foster good over evil. We reap the seeds we sow in this world.

If we do not like what we are seeing and hearing around us, it is up to you and me to plant everlasting seeds of love, light, peace, joy, happiness, health, faith, equality, forgiveness, empathy and understanding just as Jesus did when he walked this earth beginning so many Christmases ago.

Warnings From Heaven by VCatholic.com


VCatholic

Suppose you happen to hear somebody saying; “Men have prepared the virus of death and my poor children will experience great sufferings. There will be no barriers to contain its advance”, what would be your immediate response? I am asking this question in the present context of coronavirus spreading like wildfire. I am not going deep into the question of where the virus originated from. Whatever be the true reason behind the outbreak of the pandemic, one thing is sure, the spread of virus was a manmade disaster. Geographical barriers cannot stop its spread.

After seeing the relentless advance of COVID-19, most of you will agree that the initialMary Warnings statement was surely a warning message from heaven. What you guessed is correct. It was a warning from heaven about the outbreak of a deadly disease in the world. But I need to add something more. The message was given to a man in Brazil by Our Lady Queen of Peace 15 years ago. To be precise, it was message number 2594 given by Mother Mary to Pedro Regis of Brazil on October 25, 2005! Perhaps some among us has read about it somewhere, sometime earlier but forgot it over time.

When we see the doors of churches shut all over the world and priests finding it difficult to offer Holy Mass and the faithful lamenting about not getting the Blessed Sacrament, we may wonder how unexpectedly these things happened. It was not in our wildest dreams that we would not be allowed to enter our parish church and attend Holy Mass. But it happened. When we were sitting complacent, thinking that everything was going well, it fell like a bolt from the blue. There was no warning, it was so unexpected, you may think. Now read the following:

“An order will be given and the doors will be shut. Those who are consecrated will not be permitted to fulfill their duties and the faithful will weep and lament.” It is not from the newspapers of the past week. It was a message given to Pedro Regis (message no 2990) on 04/29/2008!

When COVID-19 spread from one nation to another, remember this message of our Mother. “Now is the time of the great tribulations. An epidemic will spread to various nations and my poor children will experience a heavy cross” (message no 2626 dated 10, 1, 2006).

When we see Italy struggling with COVID-19 and the death toll crossing 16,000, remember Our Lady’s message no 3807 of April 16, 2013; “Death will pass through Italia and my poor children will carry a heavy cross. Similar events will occur in Lima.”

When I skimmed through the messages for preparing this article, one thing that caught my attention was that certain messages were repeated multiple times. They were messages about the importance of sacraments, especially the Eucharist and Confession. Every message was a call for holding on to sacraments so as to get the strength to tide over the period of trials. And the second most repeated messages were related to the impending time of trials. Our Lady has been giving us warnings for the past many years.

The third most repeated messages are about the need to be faithful to the true magisterium of the Church. Our Lady has warned that efforts are on to change the teachings of the Church with an ulterior motive. Everything will be done in the guise of good intentions. Beware, we should not fall prey to such gimmicks.

One thing special about the messages given to Pedro Regis by Our Lady of Peace at Anguera was that specific places were mentioned on many occasions. For example; difficult times for Kenya (2594), Great suffering from Karachi (2602), Columbia stumbling and drinking the cup of pain (2602), Kosovo to be in ruins (2605), Naples living the anguish of a prisoner (2614), Cyprus going into suffering ( 2617), Malta shedding tears for its children (2617), Rome losing glory and fame (2622), throne of Peter to fall (2622), screams of help from Bethlehem (4829), messages about Bologna in Italy (4871) etc.

Believe me, I have picked around a hundred messages only at random from a total of more than 4800. If I could catch the names of the above places when I rushed through these hundred odd messages, imagine how elaborate are the messages Our Lady gives us.

Details about Pedro Regis and the messages he received from Our Lady are available in apelosurgentes.com.br. While going through the messages, what struck me most was the similarity or rather repetition of the messages Our Lady gave to humankind in La Salette ( 1846), Lourdes (1858), Fathima (1917), Amsterdam (1945), Monte Chiari ( 1947), Garabandhal ( 1961), Akitha ( 1973) and Medjugorje(1981) with those given to Pedro Regis.

Our Lady is the Virgin of the Revelation. She opens the secrets of prophecies for her children. This is to enable them to wage relentless war against the devil and his minions in the end times. That is exactly the reason why the devil is so angry with us. ‘Then the dragon was angry with the woman, and went off to make war on the rest of her children, those who keep the commandments of God and hold the testimony of Jesus’ ( Rev. 12;17).

Satan – that ancient dragon – knows what is going to happen in the immediate future. He also knows that Mary’s children have got the gift of discernment from the Holy Spirit. It is difficult for him to ensnare them like other gullible and credulous men and women.

That is why we need our Mother’s help now. She will reveal the inner meanings of every signs of the times so that her children are not caught unawares.
