It just occurred to me many of you might have wondered about a plan, schedule or list of things to put up each weekend.
No, there isn’t.
Elisa and I don’t collaborate; not necessary. “Why?” you might ask. When she suggested weekends off, without a double thought I offered to substitute, as I was doing this anyway, and that was it. Here we’ve been for, how long now? I cannot say with words what an honor it is to be given such confidence and trust by someone so accomplished. (Yes, those were words, but hardly scratch the surface). You who have met Elisa already know this; others nearing this honor and certainly all who read these offerings, please enjoy this family led by so extraordinary a soul.
Now back to posts; how ARE the topics chosen? The hell if I know…..but I write ‘em down and put ‘em up. Here’s today’s edition.
ST = substitute teacher C = The Committee and Erik
ST: Erik, zoology is the study of zoos, right?
Erik: Just like proctology is the study of procts.
ST: What the hell are procts?
Erik: The subject of proctology, dude.
ST: No, I remember now, zoology is something like, animal behavior?
Erik: Sounds good, since zoos usually have animals.
ST: Are there zoos in Heaven?
Erik: Only if you want one.
ST: Can we have a human zoo?
Erk: Yes, and subdivisions, too. The politician cage, the tax collector area, traffic cop part, like whatever you want.
ST: How about the teacher zoo for assignments given out like it was the only subject you had?
Erik: Poof! There she is, Mrs. McGillicuddy, behind bars. Every assignment she ever gave, all stacked up to correct and before dinnertime.
ST: Do animals we put into a zoo suffer for it or is it generally a better life for them?
Erik: Depends on the zoo; usually better. Less danger. Animal life is really tough and it’s a great experience for a soul to live as one.
ST: Human life is not tough?
Erik: Your predator is yourself. The squirrel has coyotes, fox, dogs, owls, and the hits just keep on comin’, all to watch out for. So that’s tough, too. Harder to recognize a predator wearing your own costume.
ST: Esteemed Committee, is human self-predation a design characteristic of humanity?
C: It is, yet its development is of your choices and design.
ST: The trend or tendency to prey upon one another is innate and learned?
C: Yes.
ST: How do we stop the learned behavior?
C: Stop teaching it.
ST: Humanity does not teach others to be predators, does it?
C: Much imagery and example for this behavior is chosen; its occurrence is a natural result. The elimination of this behavior would see great gains with changed inputs.
ST: So how is predatory human-on-human behavior “taught” as horrible as that sounds?
C: This permeates human culture; the examples are everywhere.
ST: Before there was press, photography, print and television, how did imagery of interhuman predation influence occurrence?
C: It was witnessed, seen, spoken of and discussed.
ST: Have rates of attack by humans on other humans increased or decreased over the past 5,000 years?
C: We will not compare these things, as you have treaded into an area we prefer to leave away from you. There are great differences in the nature of these events over this period you identify; methods, motives and results but a few. We will say there is a steady occurrence and large drops or increases across humanity there have not been.
ST: Could I say that mass warfare has increased in proportion to smaller, individual events, within the relatively steady amounts?
C: No; deaths from organized conflicts have abated on Earth.
ST: Even with humanity’s new ability to project power and force across distance and area?
C: Yes; with this has come more awareness.
ST: Why do violent, predatory attacks occur?
C: Power; these events have much power to teach.
ST: “Oh that’s such bullshit” some people will say and I confess, I agree with ‘em.
C: If no purpose were served, these things would not be.
Erik: Life’s a big zoo, ain’t it?
ST: Erik, you say that with a touch of humor, but you know well, animals do not attack one another for the sake of attack.
Erik: No they don’t, ‘cause their life courses are set to teach other things. You’re right, humans treat each other worse.
ST: Esteemed Committee, you’re able to explain this, I am sure. Please expand.
C: Allow us a brief review of your soul’s existence; you do not live in a sequential time world with up & down or day & night. You plan a life on Earth to fit within these things, which create the illusions of sequence, passage of time, approach, experience and review within. The reality of your soul, from here in Heaven, is not structured this way. You can look out upon an infinite quantity of possibilities; you cannot be aware of all of them but the hierarchy of Heaven, your Source and center of all things, your God as you have named your creator, will show you as you might like to consider them. This many of you know.
Any one of you is but a molecule of water in your ocean, in relation to your galaxies and universes; the presence of your soul on Earth is a greater value to the proportion of the whole, more influential to Earth, by this comparison, than of the universe open and available to you.
The proportion of 1:7,000,000,000 creates opportunity for influence upon the larger group by the individual, and so this is seen.
Trends and history of your Earth can be seen from any point; you can travel to any moment in Earth’s history of density – this is the sequential ordering of events as you see them and record them – and review. This is also possible for all future events, large and small. There is no time and no future but for your perception on Earth.
As Erik has said, life is set to teach certain things; thus you can select certain things and compare the effects on others and yourself; the greater the effect upon others, the more noteworthy your written history might become, yet this is the choice of human historians.
ST: Is human history as recorded and taught accurate?
C: It contains many, shall we say, un-truths. There are both truth and fabrication.
ST: Does Heaven intervene into these?
C: No; little concern have we for this. We know this truth; it is not possible to re-create and present an image unlike the event, for the image and the event are the same where we are, in your true home. The great place to which we will always welcome you.
About violent events; as you might review history – as you look out at globes of information all around you, some closer some farther, above below, behind and before you – the event, its reach and effects can be seen clearly. You then understand the trend and also may review, if you wish, the experience of other souls. You can speak with the souls you choose as they sleep, and you may ask, if they will share, the feelings and events they undergo in the immediate day & night cycles where they find themselves. You will feel what they feel in their place, and you may decide, as you choose.
ST: We choose violence, then?
C: Some of you do. It is a small minority. Small. Yes, it is chosen.
ST: This is horrible.
C: Yes, and so you chose this horror.
Erik: Devastating, huh? Next we’re gonna find out, holy shit, Jesus was a Jew….oh, wait.
ST: Can we do anything on Earth to stop this?
C: Of course; stop teaching it.
ST: How???
C: Look upon your teachings of it; there are infinite instances where a deliberate choice was made to act in this way and the actor felt and saw many things to be had. There is required a deep look and thought into these desires and motivations; the effects and the benefits perceived. Examine your human attitudes about money; you who would never act violently. How might you react to loss of this illusion, loss of all money, right now? We would suggest an experiment; for every human to give all things of money and investment to their immediate neighbor; everyone must do this. Consider the effects; there will still be as much money as a moment before. He or she who might consider robbery, violent theft of objects to gain this money, would this lessen its likelihood? We suggest it will, for a time.
ST: Soon, though patterns of behavior would probably revert.
C: Then give violent criminals money anytime they desire it; to avoid the violence.
ST: We can’t do that, it would undermine the purpose, meaning and value of working!
C: Perceptions are quite interesting, are they not? Quite solid in appearance yet fleeting in meaning or value, we say with certainty.
ST: So what about violent attackers who pursue not money but other things? We can’t give a wild, jealous spouse fidelity-on-a-plate and reduce the upset.
C: Perceptions are quite interesting, are they not?
ST: You’re saying a jealous rage is a perception?
C: Entirely and so you see into human trends and behaviors; your human-on-human violence is codified. Great energy on Earth is placed into apprehension of attackers, their imprisonment and legal procedures to ensure what you see to be equitable, fair treatment. This noble, well intentioned approach has not eliminated these things deemed so horrible, anywhere. Has humanity asked itself, if indeed, is there a need, desire and permanent nature to its occurrence? We shall say, there is a permanence of choice and there is greater knowledge of your Earth, your lives and your choices and you all have great and ultimate power to select. There are many things you can – and will do – to improve your choices as you define improvement from where you are. Your true desire is to gain experience, above all, and this is the reason your Earth exists and you upon it, and for no other. The immense beauty of your Earth was created to provide a backdrop of physical attractiveness, adorableness and loveliness with little to which your soul might compare. This canvas upon which a life is drawn is the ultimate honor and benefit a soul can undertake and it is with such admiration we observe you all who have entered this environment that we cannot say. Fret not at what is violent and horrible, and we ask your forgiveness for what we expect shall be interpreted as a callous, uncaring thought by these words. There is great value in the acts of horror and suffering and more than this even, there is choice. We suggest there will be great choice to face you all soon, great and wonderful choices made by the many who have recently joined the effort. By your ideas of safety and well being, there shall be more.
Erik: Earth’s a big zoo.
ST: Woof, woof.
C: Be well all, until tomorrow.
