I so agree, families have been, continue to be, under attack. Just as the very idea or belief in God has been as well.
I separate out religion from God/Source/Universe because over time they too, have tended to become polluted politically. (The Vatican as clear example) But religion or not, the inclusion of a Source as life-giving, intelligent, loving and responsive and that we are in relationship to and with, at all times - VS not, is like the difference between being in the ocean on a boat or being in the ocean on your own. Exhausting just thinking about it.
I shall pray about it Kathleen. So much to say, but it has all become too obvious. Part of me does not want to post any more, daily I try to pray and ask what is next, what does the cosmos want me to say. So many people, yourself included are doing a great job shedding light on the truth. Your perspectives are unique and I always admire your thoughts and writing.
I’ve rejected religious notions all my life, yet, I’m drawn to the grand intelligence of the universe and I call that god so I’m not sure where that puts me. I’ve experienced things that I can only call supernatural and can feel the god in things and I believe in miracles and lately, I’ve looked at religious text as though it has been written in code- something for us to crack to fully be able to grasp. And I can never reject your Lord’s Prayer and I do believe in its power because you have invested energy into its belief. After all, thoughts, words, and even more so, actions, are powerful prayers. Thanks for this wonderful reminder to be true in both spirit and action. As far as giving to the needy, yes, but giving should be relocalised, none of this church or government charity infrastructure. We can give better when in relationship with the receiver.
As to your calling the grand intelligence God, it puts you in good company. It acknowledges that supreme consciousness, that you can see the supernatural, witness miracles, you are on the WAY and the correct PATH. many texts are written in something like a code. written so people thousands of years ago could have some understanding, but also for us now, with the advances in science and technology can fully understand. I had a teaching by one of those 5th dimensional entities that directly addressed this coding/decoding. I wrote about it in a previous post. will look for that post so you can see it and get some idea of how to decode. I have tried to stress not getting hung up on labels or dogma. God is very accessible, and really wants to have a relationship, no secret formula or hoops to jump through. No magic, he does not care really what you call him, even the indigenous tribes have a close relationship with the great spirit, perspective is just a little different, the result is the same. God is all inclusive.
All of that resonates with me completely. I have to go back to the beginning of your stack and explore more. I feel like I hardly have any time for more reading as I navigate life with kids and work, but my thoughts are similarly aligned and you seem to hold knowledge from sources not available to me.
When you mention a being from the 5th, is that through channelling?
I agree, making sure that the funds go to the need and not into a 3rd party pocket. Thank you for the comment. Far too many of the NGOs are very corrupt and too little of the funds go to where we want them to go. When the Dronmi Association was active, it was a Tibetan nomadic NGO, the administrators did not take one dime, every penny went to the needy, and they accounted for every penny through documentation and photographs. Scholarships, clinics, schools for children of nomads, they trained EMTs, cleaned up the environment. 12 young men and women made it through university, 325 children were housed and educated at a boarding school. 8 orphans were provided homes and supplemental income. We clothed the children and for all of this good, the administrators were arrested and imprisoned or executed.
I like how you pray for more than what you need so you can share with others. I’ve noticed in my recent studies how much the Lord expects us to care for the hungry, fatherless, widows, the needy in general. It seems to be one of the most, if not the most, important thing to him. The church I used to pay tithes to spends less than .75% of tithing receipts on assistance for the needy. There will be a reckoning for that. But, that’s on the leadership. We all need to consider how we’re helping the poor.
Thank you for another great post, for your voice and for what guides you to shine a light and share your thoughts! Please keep writing! Every voice counts.
Dr. Rocco Errico who is an Aramaic scholar who worked with Dr. George Lamsa who translated the Aramaic texts of the Bible to English says that the word Father in Aramaic means Beloved and can be for males and females.
I was fortunate to take a class with Dr. Errico teaching and also attended many of his talks.
He has published books of the translations explaining the idioms in the Aramaic language.
YouTube has videos with Dr. Errico.
There are thousands of errors in other Bible translations.
As an example when Jesus was dying on the cross, Jesus did not say, “Father, why have you forsaken me?”
Jesus said that this was his destiny.
Dr. Lamsa and Dr. Errico Bible translations are the most accurate.
I would like to see that reference. I did have an intimate conversation with God about that instant and he shared with me what Jesus was experiencing at that moment.
I am the absolute one. Watch out. Might bite you. i have the most sharp teeth. I hear you when you say people like long post but at night while you’re crying you may think differently.
Beautiful post, David.

Thank you.
well I could get started on the prostitute that sits on seven hills. What evil. Thanks for the comment.
Would that prostitute be rome by any chance?
Rome sits on 7 hills, the prostitute is the Vatican and it is time to call the people out from this farce.
By all means, please do!

"but it has all become too obvious. Yes, I agree.
I for one hope when you ask that, you'll keep hearing and keep writing; anyone who sees it, has an essential voice - imho.
Thank you, David. The feeling is mutual.❤️🩹

no it was a direct visitation. I could see the entity and talk to it.
there is so much in the alternative narrative, I also find it hard to read, and I do not have kids or a job.

thanks for the message, it hits the point exactly. widows and orphans, the less fortunate, but with discernment.
I agree wholeheartedly with Kathleen. Beautiful post. Thank you David.
well you both make me feel that the effort and prayers are worth it. thank you for the encouragement, it means a lot to me.
Thank you for another great post, for your voice and for what guides you to shine a light and share your thoughts! Please keep writing! Every voice counts.
David, I love your version of The Lord’s Prayer. Calling it Our Father makes sense to me. I FEEL the prayer when I say it.
My name for our father is The Divine and sometimes Creator.
Thank you for your words of wisdom.

It’s in the YouTube video. I can’t get the photo to paste here. I will send it t to your email. Let me know, if you need more.
