SAFE Ark Two Newsletter
November 18th, 2012
Noting the News
In a May newsletter I noted a sea change in
Israel quoting my best Israeli source (David Dolan)
that some events
were the worst they had been
since 1973. This week we can certainly see that playing out. I am not
expecting major events until next year despite the intensity of the news
this morning. We never know one day to the next - although the biggy
remains Iran and there are many peripheral players in Lebanon, Syria,
and Egypt.
December Mayan 2012 date now just a month away - but again, not in my
paradigm. I do think in the next 90 days we will see some significant
activities on the financial front aside from the reputed 'cliff'. Just
me. I am often wrong, but not always. I commented two weeks before the
election about how all the employment statistics were so positive and
how the numbers were so often just lies. Now two weeks after the
election the official report is that the employment statistics are the
worst that they have been in the last eighteen months. Who would have
thunk! This week lots of riot/union/budget stuff from Europe which as of
this week is supposed to have gone into a double dip recession.
The whole Petraeus thing is a mystery wrapped in an enigma. I was
reading/reporting in this newsletter, two weeks before it happened, that
some were saying that there was within CIA a faction/plot/intrigue for
an October surprise regarding Benghazi leading up to the Obama November
election contest.
One needs a flowchart
to follow even the superficial reported parts. Among others was the
'ethicist' article that I mentioned being in the NY Times two weeks
before the resignation. First denied but now confirmed and Klosterman is
now right there on many of the charts. Same regarding the FBI reports
to key political GOP members of Congress. Lots of generals and navy
people resigning/fired. Talk, talk, talk about a coup. I hear from
people advocating it. CERTAINLY NOT MY THING. Same story on secession,
if you have been following that, but again CERTAINLY NOT MY THING. -
Anyway I suspect a coup plan was nipped in the bud. As I said last time -
we may never know - but there are plenty of historical precedents. |
Is Change Possible?
No - change is inevitable. The question is the direction of change. Even
the direction of change inevitably changes. That is what we call
cycles.
It is all a part of the apparent duality of this world.
cause/effect
white/black
light/dark
heat/cold
good/evil
yin/yang
up/down
and the list goes on and on
and around and around.
We live in a time of rapid change and it is accelerating. In the
environment / weather
geology / earthquakes
employment / purpose
government / service
science / technology
countries / cultures
communities / family
economy / financial
arts / morality
world / peace
It is obvious to most of us that we are now on a down cycle
that will eventually reach a climax in catastrophe
and then we shall have to begin an up cycle.
The question is -
what should be the goals of the next up cycle?
The communist ideal has always been
to change human nature by social means.
Improve the surroundings and change man so that
"To each according to his need and
from each according to his ability."
We know that doesn't overcome the problem of greed -
and the leaders benefit while followers sacrifice.
There is no path to a classless society.
There will always be degrees of difference between individuals.
Saints, Sinners, and Satans.
The humanists have felt that humanity can be changed
through culture and education such as
by psychology, public relations, and early childhood education.
But they have no stated / agreed upon goal
such as do the communists and simply wander around
in a mass of conflicting theories.
The path to cultural / human / social change
has always been religion
and that is the nature of man and reality.
The atheist / communist / (religion is an opiate)
and
the humanist / materialist /(religion is a myth)
positions have always pointed to 'failed' religion
such as when it becomes dogmatic and oppressive.
But that is shortsightedness.
Would one say to never plant another crop -
because all the previous years' crops have ended up dying in the Fall?
Would one say to never have children -
because they all end up becoming old and dying?
Civilizations / cultures / religions become old and die.
It is a part of the cycle of life.
Yes, the old cycle has ended
but the time has come to begin a new and hopefully better one.
Civilization / science / religion
are supposed to be progressive.
Cycles within cycles -
just as there are days within months
months within seasons
seasons within years
and years within ages -
some beyond our comprehension.
The overall cycles are something over which we have no control over -
and they are a part of our destiny -
just as we have no control over our birth, aging and death.
But we as individuals and communities / cultures we
do have control over our individual lives and existence
as to whether / how well we will fulfill the potential for which we were created.
What that potential is -
is determined and known by our Creator -
and for humanity that insight is provided by Prophets
selected by the Creator.
Each of us has the capacity to recognize The Prophet
of our Day and Age -
and to therefore follow The Prophet's directive
to fulfill our potential.
Collectively that leads to an improved civilization.
No, the Tree of Religion is not dead.
It has just been shedding its leaves from one Fall Season -
and Winter -
and is about to enter the Divine Springtime.
There is still only One God -
and one religion - the Religion of God.
Each of us see it individually from our perspective -
and our cultures - but Truth and God remain One.
People do not wonder that science continually changes
its understanding. That the theories / comprehensions of yesterday are
replaced by better today. Yet, somehow they do not want that of
religion, our understanding of God, although God encompasses both
science and religion both now and in billions of years / eternity past
and future both here and elsewhere throughout the immensity of the
universe. This needed change in attitude / comprehension / understanding
is in itself the Great Change taking place in this age.
The two most favored times in which to live.
ONE is in the time of a Manifestation of God.
I feel sure that if I had lived in the time of Jesus -
I would not have recognized Him for Who He is,
no more than did most who saw Him.
Sitting in a crowd of thousands
I would not have seen some beautiful Nordic blond individual standing
before me in shining robes with a halo over his head and Angels peering
over His shoulders.
No- I, like everyone else, would have seen a rather short darker skinned
individual with a large nose sweating under a hot sun without benefit
of air conditioning and would have heard Him espousing political ideas
that were not very popular - like be obedient to the Roman oppressors,
and socialist concepts of giving to the poor. Those ideas were no more
popular with some then than if Such an Individual had espoused them in
the election just past. Love your enemies in the face of demands for
increased spending by the military / industrial complex? Ouch. What
chance would you think there would be for a Guy like that to become
popular down through the succeeding centuries - even if His ideas did
not. He would be just as likely to be crucified now - as then, and most
adamantly by the supposed followers who are expecting Him now - as there
were then.
As bountiful as it would have been to be in that time, two thousand
years ago, today's experience of Sandy would have been nothing compared
to everyday life then. Not only:
no air conditioning or central heating but
no electricity.
Not ever.
No auto transportation.
No anesthetics.
No indoor plumbing or modern hygiene.
No supermarkets.
No cell phones.
Just no, no, no.
And the people in Sandy think they have it bad. (Well, they do but we
live in coddled times.) Yet, for a Christian the greatest bounty would
be to deserve to hang on a cross next to one's Lord. I would probably
pass with Peter.
THE SECOND most favored time in which to live -
is the one in which you are living.
The time of The Great Catastrophe.
The time when people may look at how their plan
has not worked out and may be willing to consider God's Plan.
The time when one can help implement The Plan of God
for the New Age.
So, what is God's plan for this Day and Age?
Not a popular one - for sure.
Service instead of 'success'.
Sharing instead of greed.
Sacrifice instead of conquest.
Submission instead of power.
Morality instead of do your own thing.
Certainly not one thing there that you would want to campaign on in an American presidential election.
And any ideas that there might be towards having a World Government to
assure world peace, or unification of humanity in a religion that
recognizes that there is One God over all - certainly forget that. If
even the Manifestation / Prophet / God were running for president and
advocating those things - then most would certainly not want Him!
Yes, it is going to be a torturous path, as humanity sorts out the
choice between what it wants and what its Creator has designed for it.
Bad- I have gotten off into religion again. People really do not like
for me to do that. I am wondering if we can chalk it up to my old age?
Will I ever change? Just retain the thought - it is inevitable.
Ark Two / SAFE Goals
Who I would like to reach with this newsletter
is a population of people
of any age or other demographic
who are amenable or who will become amenable
to using the LERN system for reconstructing society
after The Great Catastrophe -
and who are teachable about the system.
I don't know who they are -
or how to reach them.
Because people don't know what is really needed, we struggle on -
to reach people of other interests such as survival.
If anyone has a better idea, I would certainly welcome it.
Twenty years ago, even ten years ago, there were less than a half dozen
organizations out there try to convince people that they should prepare
for nuclear holocaust. Even then, as now, most looked upon me as a one
stringed instrument. Today, there are a multitude of organizations and
some have very good information.
The following is a lengthy two and a half hour video presentation by Joel Skousen on the
Ultimate Preppers Guide - Strategic Relocation
I find Joel to be very scholarly and insightful.
He also presents his ideas in a very calm and dignified manner.
His recommendations are well thought out.
I disagree with him, and Alex, about there being a single 'They'.
I also disagree to some extent with his goals
for the future.
AND I don't feel that either Joel or Alex has a real plan
for reconstruction.
Joel and Alex and many preppers have a great anger towards 'They'
for whom they blame for the difficulties. I think that Joel, although he
doesn't express it in the video, may share with many a vision of the
future -
in which Divine Intervention without human help
will resolve the difficulties of the world but I think we are going to
have to work to build a better future and for that we need to know God's
Plan.
SAFE has once again lost its US National Coordinator. The previous
National Coordinator quit and started his own organization because I
keep mentioning religion and he felt it should be "America ONLY"
oriented. His organization is at
AmericaRebuilds.US
if some of you think that it might appeal to your interests better.
The latest coordinator did not give a reason for resigning but whatever
- people think I miss the point about survival.
And it is true. While I realize that people need to survive to construct
society anew, Ark Two is not really about survival - it is about
reconstructing a society / world that has turned away from God. While we
do not make any restrictions on what religion a person is a member of
we do emphasize that humanity needs to turn back to the TRUE religion of
loving God AND their neighbor - that is to say ALL of humanity.
Everyone has a differing vision. I hear every month from several people
who are starting their own survival web site or organization. I don't
think most of them go anywhere -
but I could be wrong. One fellow claims that he has gotten over 550,000
'likes' on his Facebook page about firearms prepping, something that
many feel is a great deficiency of this newsletter.
What's Happening at Ark Two
Had a curious thing happen this week that has never happened before. I
think it was probably a pinched nerve or something but it was extremely
painful in my lower back and I couldn't move for several hours. Has
mostly gone away, although I still can't pick anything up. More and more
things like this are happening to make us realize that we are getting
older. It frightened Jean because she didn't know how she would be able
to bring in wood. Got me to thinking if someone would like to come for
an extended 'visit' they could stay with us and give us a hand. All they
would need is a US passport to get over the border - and a letter from
us saying they were coming to visit. Could even be a teen.
We are obviously needing a lot of help on a lot of fronts. If someone
would like to volunteer to be the new US National Coordinator - please
let me know. It is obviously not an easy task. Requires a lot of
continuous work on our data base.
We very much need to increase and strengthen the structure of SAFE. We
would now like to extend it down to where we have TEAM Leaders in all
500 of the Districts. You can help with this. Please just send me an
email at bruce@webpal.org giving your postal code and nearest town or city and state.
LOTS of work this week on the radio project. It is now in Adam's and Darlene's hands.
National Geographic phoned to say that the Ark Two episode will be shown
in 171 countries this coming season. Getting a lot of media attention
because of that.
Victoria's video for this week is on:
The Walking Dead
Peace and love,
