​Recently there’s been a flood of descriptions of dreams, visions, and Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) in which Jesus is telling people to pray for Trump and Barr to turn around a potential disaster that is expected this fall: a new wave of distress and with it, a heavy-handed military presence eliminating our freedoms – going beyond the methods that were tested and proven effective this past spring.
I’ve been listening very carefully to what’s being said for they hold a kernel of a much deeper process going on, and hold clues to my own development.
Both religious and non-religious (but spiritual) people are getting these messages, in various countries. They’re all being told in multiple ways that another wave of distress is coming this fall, and it could be worse than what we’ve been through. Many are being encouraged to deepen their spiritual practice and stock up on supplies to minimize its effects. Bible-based Christians are getting a very clear political message as well:

• They’re being told that Donald Trump’s election stopped a political and economic plan that is designed to enslave all Americans in a dark future that will enable a very few powerful people to live well and free.
• They’re being told that we’ve been through one, but more waves of distress are coming (some say a third one is on the way; some say 2 more); with the radical shift in political and social expression, with the 2018 election being the 1st wave of disruption; the CoVid-19 pandemic a second wave, and the oncoming flu season with possibly a new strain could be another, as could violent reactions to the elections being met with military force.
• They’re being told “Trump is turning people to God” and needs their prayers to continue to do this important work.
• They’re being told to earnestly pray for Trump and his Attorney General, Bill Barr, to put an end to the evil and corruption that has, for years, been everywhere in the media and government.
• They’re being told that undoing Roe v. Wade will return America to its blessed state.
• They’re being told that the passionate action of Jesus’ Church is the only thing between humanity’s glory and its degradation into slavery.

 To address all this they’re being encouraged in these visions to do four things:

1. Pray for the current leaders of the nation;
2. Let go of any tendencies to turn away from Jesus’ teachings, including the belief that individuals can do anything without divine support;
3. Stock up on essentials to help those who will be in need as the next wave of distress hits;
4. Vote in the November election for the people who they know will do the right thing, which for the “religious right” means will undo Roe v. Wade, which they’ve believed since 9/11 has put a curse on the US because the government is supporting the killing of innocent beings.

 And they have accepted these images and instructions at face value and are sharing them with the world.

I’ve spent the better part of the last couple months digesting all of this: listening, observing, noting consistencies and differences, comparing what I’ve perceived with other sources of information and, finally, going inside to find my own spiritual guidance. It hasn’t been easy, and some of it hasn’t been pleasant, but I think I’m beginning to get the deeper understanding that can guide us all. There are, of course, multiple levels of interpretation of these visions, and I’m outlining them in a new book about Apocalypse, which I hope to complete by the end of the month.
There are also multiple levels of interpretation for the instructions received, the primary one being: use the power you have to bring Heaven (a state of being in which beauty, love, and harmony are the norm) and Earth (a state of being in which attachment to material things is a constant source of distress) together. ​

In these changing times, with uncertainties in the job market, the stock market, and the climate, many people are focusing their fears on money, as if money were the source of their wellbeing. Totally understandable. We’ve been taught in many ways that our survival, much less our ability to have nice things and go nice places, is a function of how much money we receive and can spend.
On top of that it’s built into the culture that we live in to think that only if we’re working hard can have (do we deserve) the funds that allow us to live well. Otherwise we’ll suffer – and, worse, be dependent on others.
Well, there’s much more to our relationship with money than that. When I teach my “Money Workshop” I offer the following chart and explain the whats and whys and wherefores of each box. 

I won’t do that here, but you may find it useful to explore it and see where you are – and have been – and where the folks who advise you are, as well. I think you will hear what they have to say in a very different way when you understand the age/stage they’re operating from when they’re sharing their current wisdom.
And, if you’re on the journey from Middle Years to Elder, you may also find the following piece from Eric Butterworth’s Spiritual Economics useful:

• I am secure, for I know who I am: a richly endowed extension/expression of the Source of All that is.
• I am secure in all I do for I know my oneness with the divine process.’
• I am secure in all I have, for I know my treasure is in my mind, not in my things.
• I live my life from day to day as if the divine supportive substance were as exhaustless and dependable as the air I breathe, which it most certainly is.

Blessings of Peaceful Prosperity be upon us all! ​
