I Talk to the Dread

I could post a Bible verse (Luke 21 - 25:  Signs) or refer you to Torah Prophecy or quote a prediction from The Sleeping Prophet, Edgar Cayce, but would it make any difference?  Would it help in anyway with understanding the callousness, the horror, the savagery that is unfolding across this planet right now?  Would it help you understand the "why" in "why are we witnessing such unprecedented upheaval across the globe?"  Answer:  Maybe.  I could take on an air of "Doom and Gloom" but won't.  That's not what's needed at this time.  Would you concede (just a wee bit) that these times are destined to test the best of us?  That these times are going to force us to reach deep within to muster all the courage we can?  What can we do during "these" Times?  Well, number one we can seek Divine Guidance.  These are times to look to whomever you look to for help in a crisis.  It is also time to look your spouse, your partner, your children in the eye and say, "I love you."  "We are going to get through this but only if we work together."  These are the times to seek out those who see the same things you're seeing and ask for their help, their comradeship.  Things are unraveling so fast it is hard to keep up.  There's plenty of action out there but does anyone see any workable solutions?   It seems the powerful grow more powerful while the weak are continually kneed in the groin.   

Famous Quote:  "There is Nothing to Fear But Fear Itself."   People experience a sense of Dread when they cannot see what is confronting them.   "When there is no path to follow, forge one".  


I think that this quote is most appropriate for the unprecedented times we're experiencing.  Yet, while we're all watching our favorite news channels the beat goes on.  A commercial airliner shot down over the Ukraine and the ones responsible continue to cover it up.  An openly hostile and belligerent Russian President who wantonly conspired and committed himself and his troops to the bloody act of penetration by invading a sovereign nation and ripping out her insides.  Ukraine was brutally assaulted and raped while the whole world stood by and videotaped it.  The Ebola Virus is out of control in Africa.  We have a valiant few trying to stop the bleeding (no pun intended- as The Ebola Virus, Hemorrhagic Fever, continues to spread and takes its toll.  The President of the United States, the so-called "Leader of the Free World", in his unbridled foolishness and love of power and grandstanding, is making things "right" across the world stepping all over those people and nations he could care less about while swooning over those he embraces as his political hope for the future.  We have naked men and women parading around in parks and taking each other out for a stroll.  We have gangs of black youths attacking whites just because of their color.  No one is covering this but very few.  We have millions of people strung out on drugs and corrupt officials all the way from law enforcement to politicians.  And these same are in charge of making decisions that affect our livelihoods, our well being.  We have lies and corruption and filth, debasement and depravity, chaos and confusion, welfare and charlatans, tyrants and bullies, stupidity, laziness, fraud, deception, open sores, disease, threats from outer space, gangs of thugs, Drug Cartels, terrorists, aborted babies, folly, mindlessness, ignorance and arrogance.  Who would want to save us?  The answer is, maybe no one.  Maybe we planned where we are right now a long time ago.  Could there be some Truth to this?--that we actually planned our own demise?--That this was the Way it was really supposed to end?  --There is no future.  There is No Hope.  That no one is coming to our aid.  No God, no Moses, no Priest no Saint nor Pope, no visitation from some otherworldly kind and genteel race of sentient beings who will show us the error of our ways and straighten everything out for us

No, the Truth is we are going to have to take responsibility.  We are going to have to rise up above the din, the flatulence, the turbulence, and squint through the haze in order to confront our own inabilities, our own weaknesses that have driven us to the point we are now, that have throttled and hobbled us all these years. 

It is time to take back what is rightfully ours.  It is time to take control.  It is time to embrace our strengths and take upon ourselves the responsibilities that we abrogated to others years ago.  It is time to forge a path and take control of our own destiny seeing that the others we put in charge have made such a mess.   

Our own destiny is in our hands not those of elected officials.  The painful, throbbing dead beat on this planet is like a continuous, soulful dirge, a  rabid torrent, a shroud so suffocating that the Light cannot get through.  But you know what they say, "It is Darkest Just Before the Dawn."
