After arrival in Jacksonville, USA on the 29th April. Stayed at the Comfort Suite and during breakfast watched TV coverage of the Philadelphia Prince of Peace Church being burnt to the ground.
Jesus warned people not to build upon his foundations with building materials; Philadelphia is mentioned in Revelations.
‘Every plant that my heavenly father has not planted will be pulled up by its roots. Matt 15:13
Signs of the end times
Buildings being burnt in the fire......
By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work.
If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames. Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple.
Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a “fool” so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. 1 Corinthians 3:7-19
Jesus predicts the destruction of religious buildings
As Jesus was leaving the temple the disciples called his attention to them. “Look, teacher what massive stones! What magnificent buildings. Do you see all these great buildings?’ Jesus replied ‘Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.’ The disciples asked “Tell us when will these things happen? And what will be the sign they are all about to be fulfilled?’ Jesus said ‘watch out that no-one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming I am he and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumours of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end of the age is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of the birth pains. Mark 138
Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.” Luke 22:25-36
For the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all things have happened. Heaven and Earth will pass away but my words will never pass away. Matt 24 1-35
Revelation 3:6-8 (New International Version)
6He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
To the Church in Philadelphia
7"To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:
These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. 8I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.
Blessed is the one that comes in the name of the Lord.
Wisdom is proved right by her actions. Matt 10:19

Hello dear oannes, yes been in the USA for a couple of weeks rested with a suntan.
I thought that beautiful work was yours. Thank you for sharing, do you have anything else that you would like to shate with others on the meaning of your artwork.
It has no special meaning.
I love the figures you can make with the flower of life symbol.
This set was my first creation using illustrator and photoshop to explore gif animation
I wanted to do something with love or symbols of love.
This was the result.
To be creative is like meditating.
Make my mind work.
To go where know one has gone before (quote startrek)
It’s a different way to express yourself about your feelings or concerns
And of course it’s fun to do and it pleases my self and I hope others.

The USA is the TITANIC symbolically and it is time to build those eco communities because they will be the LIFE BOATS that save those that inherit the earth.
God called the USA a 'Dinosaur' will it evolve into smaller animals? Only time will tell whether it does or whether it becomes extinct as one nation.
The people will choose the way it goes.....the power is with the people when they are united as one.
The sheer waste of natural resources in the USA is shameful and frankly some very hard times are ahead for those that have taken everything for granted.
God said 'it is time to build the ark.'
The USA has dominated the eco system and now mother earth responds beyond measure.
"The term "dinosaur" was first coined 1841, by Sir Richard Owen and derives from Greek ?????? (deinos) "terrible, stiff, masterly, skillful" + ?????? (sauros) "lizard". It is sometimes used informally to describe other prehistoric reptiles, such as the pelycosaur Dimetrodon, the winged pterosaurs, and the aquatic ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs and mosasaurs, although none of these were dinosaurs.
In colloquial English "dinosaur" is sometimes used to describe an obsolete or unsuccessful thing or person, despite the dinosaurs' 160 million year reign and the global abundance and diversity of their descendants, the birds. This usage became common while dinosaurs were regarded as cold-blooded and sluggish."

When all the warriors come home to peace within then there will be no more wars and no requirement for soldiers.
The man that shoots the gun carries the karma and suffers the consequences.
Sadly, war has such a huge and detrimental impact on human beings that war vets find it hard to forgive and forget. However, there was a great man that was in the concentration camps in Germany and he is a beacon of light to the world. Dt Vicktor Frankl worked out the meaning of the life.
Will to Meaning
There is meaning to life and you find it by seeking within.
The meaning of life is to work out the meaning of life. As jesus said if a person is sick and has to see a doctor go and seek out what this meanth. e.g. seek within and Buddha promoted the same philosophy.
One of the most positive men I have ever met was 90% blind. He once said to me that if he ever meets a person that is more positive than him it shows him that he has a lot more work to do on himself.
Another beacon of light and it is an honour to know him.

How many people who believe, know or experience God have refused to go into the armed forces?
The Lord said let those that do not know the Son of God and the Father go if they wish.
God is calling everyone home to peace and the first thing one is asked to do is put down the arms. He said if atheists wish to defend then let them defend, those that are with God are required to stay with God otherwise you will not hear what is being said to you.
=ends=
In this context it is about defending with weaponary, of course Angels defend in thought, word and deed without any weapons just like Jesus did.

** NEVER leaving the field whilst an enemy remained standing.
Sorry to disappoint you CR. However, I have not once met a Church going Christian that has been born again from the Spirit. Being born again does not happen due to Baptism many have been deceived by man's traditions and beliefs.
Experience counts more than beliefs.
Those that do not know God do not know how thorough God is so they do not have the benchmark.
God is the perfect architect and his son the builder.
God is working with this architect.
Archangel Michael has been working with the new teachers of ecological self-sustainability for the last couple of years.
One who knows God
One who hears God and is heard by God.
I was designed for the panoramic view, I leave the details to God.
I guess that is the difference between military/academia and CEO's/trouble shooters on a human scale. There are many levels of existence. Some are leaders and some are followers. Some work together in a sphere of influence and some create pyramids.
Trouble shooters go right to the root causes of the core issues to eliminate them within the organisation to ensure that the company runs smoothly, efficiently, effectively and productively. They don't waste their time and energy on non-essentials.
Humanity are faced with tough decisions and it is now time for essentials if we are to retain a healthy community of humans and animals on planet earth.
Each person in the company have a choice to take responsibility and earn their keep or leave the company. Those that cannot share, care, and give will be leaving on mass.
It is never too late to change the road that you are on, people can choose the road to destruction or the road to healing, self-purification and harmonic concordance. The latter attain the heaven state of being and the former destroy themselves with their thoughts, words and deeds.
Physical reality is the barometer of balance -v- imbalance.
In the silence God shares the strategies for distribution.
Time for essentials...
There is a pecking order to the divine plan. However, it is only in the silence does one come to know what the divine plan is.
The more a person heals the self the more they come to know their divine purpose and true reason for being on planet earth at this time.
Onwards and upwards.....

IF I were asked by G_d to join ‘G_d’s SAS,’ . . . THEN I would DECLINE the said offer; . . . and I would do so in this manner.
FIRSTLY, I would dispatch to G_d a cable which said :
UpStickJob. AbusiveLetterFollows.
SECONDLY, via said abusive letter to G_d, I would inform G_d that I work ONLY for places and people and things and causeswhereinIbelieve.
THIRDLY, I would suggest to G_d that in future, G_d might wish to recruit from amongst mercenaries :
Individuals who -- UNLIKE me -- will work for anyone who pays them.
FOURTHLY, I would remind G_d that after all, . . . even Campbell Randt DOES have some minimal standards.
Lotus, Please Note :
In the HYPOTHETICAL case presented above, I am presuming that the aforesaid job offer came to me DIRECTLY from G_d.
Hence the reason for mypoliteness and diplomacy.
On the other hand, . . . IF the aforementioned offer were communicated to me through some third party (such as ‘G_d Junior’ -- a/k/a the ‘Son of G_d’ or the ‘Prince of Peace’ or ‘Jesus the Christ’ who is worshiped by the GLP Forum’s own ‘Follower of Jesus’), . . . THEN please be assured that my reply would be quiteharsh.
Just as harsh, in fact, as are my day-to-day dealings with the ‘Twice Born’ and the ‘Obnoxiously “Christian.”’

Very generous and appreciative of you Campbell under current circumstances. Abba sends help in more ways than one and how do you respond?
With contempt!
Consumerism appears to have greater interest to the materialists than saving their own butts!
As God said 'It is not a one-way street' sadly there are too many in this world who are happy to receive and forget it takes two to tango. Raping mother earth of all her natural resources in the name of progress takes humanity down a very slippery slope......
Too many takers and not enough givers.....
The hand of God was given and it was not empty.....
It is a great pity that some people cannot reach out evenmore; so many refuse to go the extra mile.
Humanity are so close to self-destruction yet they stubbornly refuse to act upon it and reverse the process.
A closed mind is a closed heart.

A person that is cold, ruthless and without humanity suffers from a loss of soul CR. Soul loss of this kind is usually to do with childhood. Recommend a book called 'Soul Retrieval' by Sandra Ingreman.
The renowned psychologist Carl Jung said "For thousands of years rites of initiation have been teaching rebirth from the spirit, yet man has forgotten the meaning of divine intiatory procreation in our times. I simply believe that some part of the human soul is not subject to the laws of space and time. This forgetfulness causes him to suffer a loss of soul, a condition that sadly is everywhere present today."
He also wrote "Neither family nor society nor position can save man from his fate; nor yet the most successful adaptation to his environment, however smoothly he fits in. The development of personality is a favour that must be paid for dearly. But the people who talk most loudly about developing their personalities are the very ones who are least mindful of the results, which are such as to frighten away weaker spirits.
Yet the development of the personality means more than just the fear of hatching for monsters (children) of isolation. It also means fidelity to the law of one's own being. For the word "fidelity" I should prefer, in this context, the Greek used in the New Testement, which is erroneously translated "faith"". It literally means "trust", "trustful loyalty."
Fidelity to the law of one's own being (Science of Being and the barometer of balance -v- imbalance) is a trust in this law, a loyal perseverance and confident hope; in short, an attitude such as a religious man should have towards God. It can now be seen how portentous is the dilemma that emerges from behind the problem: personality can never develop unless the individual chooses his own way, consciously and with moral deliberation. Not only the causal motive - necessity - but conscious moral decision must lend its strength to the process of building the personality. If the first is lacking, then the alleged development is mere acrobatics of the will; if the second, it will get stuck in unconscious automatism. But a man can make a moral decision to go his own way only if he holds that way to be best. If any other way were held to be better, then he would live and develop that other personality (persona) instead of his own.
The other ways are conventionalities of a moral, social, political, philosophical, or religious nature. The fact that the conventions always flourish in one form or another only proves that the vast majority of mankind do not choose their own way, but convention, and consequently develop not themselves but a method and a collective mode of life at the cost of their own wholeness.
Just as the psychic and social life of mankind at the primitive level is exclusively group life which a high degree of unconsciousness among the individuals composing it, so the historical process of development that comes afterwards is in the main collective and will doubtless remain so. That is why I believe the convention of the to be a collective a necessity. It is a stop gap but not an ideal, either in the moral or religious sense, for submission to it always means renouncing one's wholeness and running away from he final consequences of one's own being."
Know thyself and then you will know the universe and God.
Lotus People are not a commodity, without love they become so. Parents are the guardians of the soul, a precious gem born to shine. It is the guardian’s responsibility to ensure that gem is not reshaped, but allowed to BE its natural state.

In my integrity you uphold me and set me in your presence forever. Psa 41:12 "The LORD within her is righteous; he does no wrong. Morning by morning he dispenses his justice, and every new day he does not fail, yet the unrighteous know no shame." Zephaniah 3:4-6

The Lord said " Spiritual freedom is the bedrock of Christianity, you are its pillar'.
Lotus People are not a commodity, without love they become so. Parents are the guardians of the soul, a precious gem born to shine. It is the guardian’s responsibility to ensure that gem is not reshaped, but allowed to BE its natural state. Children are the supreme joy of human life’ "God's will is compelled by love into compassionate action to save." "Blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God."
In my integrity you uphold me and set me in your presence forever. Psa 41:12 "The LORD within her is righteous; he does no wrong. Morning by morning he dispenses his justice, and every new day he does not fail, yet the unrighteous know no shame." Zephaniah 3:4-6

Interesting bump. Read - for thy sustainer is the most bountiful one, who has taught the use of the pen, taught man what he did not know!
Nay verily man becomes grossly overweening, whenever he believes himself to be self-sufficient: for behold unto thy sustainer all must return.
Quran 96:3-8
