Who Would Jesus Look For?

Who Would Jesus Look For?
Author: Terry Mitchell
During the local election campaign that concluded this week, I took particular notice of one TV commercial for a gentleman who was running for commonwealth’s attorney in an adjacent county. The commercial pointed out some of the reasons why one might want to vote for him. It described him as being “squeaky clean”, a former boy scout, a navy veteran, an experienced attorney who graduated near the top of his law school class, a longtime member of the state house of delegates, good family man, a community activist, and one who had worked hard to pass tough laws against sexual predators, drunken drivers, and deadbeat parents.
When I looked at his website, I found a long list of organizations that he was a member of, or was affiliated with. I must say that I was quite impressed with his pedigree. And he was obviously the kind of person that most of the voters in his county were looking for, as he easily defeated his opponents.
But then I started thinking about the kind of people Jesus looked for and associated with when He walked the earth in human form. Curiously, none of them seemed to even remotely match the description of that guy from the political commercial. Perhaps Jesus was looking for folks who were much different from what the average voter would look for.
He was often found with, and even selected, people who were outcasts, misfits, sickly, maimed, timid, uncouth, antisocial, uneducated, unpopular, ugly, unrefined, boorish, impoverished, and even sinful. In other words, one rarely found any squeaky clean boy scouts among his band of brothers. I believe Jesus – since He is God, and God is unchanging – is still looking for the same kinds of people today to follow Him and do the work of His Kingdom. Remember, Jesus said, “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” (Luke 5:32 KJV)
So, if you don’t live up to the high standards of some impressive politician, or even the much lower standards of your next door neighbor or co-worker, then congratulations – you may just be the kind of person Jesus can use!

Football: the New Diabolical Cult

Football: the New Diabolical Cult
Author: mardini
Football is today’s new cult. It is the new religion of millions of adepts all over the world. Football worshippers are frenzied by football matches. Countries go into war over football matches, for example in central America a war started between El Salvador and Honduras. Hundreds of people are killed as a result of a football match. Worshippers of the ball enter often into conflict and armed fighting all over the world. In the so called civilized world, first world that is, as well is in the third world, whether civilized or uncivilized, football is at the heart of the strife.
Whether football audiences and spectators are identified as hooligans in some cases or peaceful watchers of football, they all are merged into the same cult. As in any cult there are moderators and there are fanatics.
Football matches have been the reason for bloody fights and killings. The supposed to be stadiums of sport became now the arena of gladiators where worshippers of every team, idolized teams and  worshipped by each supporter.
In the United Kingdom matches of football often turned to hand to hand combat where supporters of either team come to grips with the other team’s supporters.
74 persons were killed over a football match in Port Said in Egypt between al-Ahli and al-Masri clubs beginning of february 2012. The police stood aside unable to do anything where fierce fighting and bloodshed and rioteering took place. It shook the Egyptian peaceful society of long history of civilization. In every european and non European capital and ccity where football matches take place there are always disputes, sometimes big fights and bloodshed.
While Islam is the religion of 90% of Egyptians and God is the object of worship by Muslims and Christians, consisting the 10% of the population, in Egypt football became the new cult, forsaking God and the religion of Islam and Christianity for football. The new football god has replaced God All Mighty. People talk about football more than they talk about God. A match of football mgnatizes the whole population. When you travel to another country people ask you who is your favorite team of football and do not ask you if you believe in God and worship God.
The  football match of Manchester United in May 2012 has galvanized world uproar. Celebrations for the new idol were held all over the globe and big demonstrations in favor of winning results were raged in a lot of countries. Big carnivals were held to hail the football god and people were simply in a frenzy of the fever of the new idol. Not even God Himself receives such hailing and such celebrations. God is forgotten and now humans took to the mighty football.  When you travel from one country to another people ask you who is your favorite football team and do not ask you whether you worship God and admire His creation.
Football, as the name indicates, ball kicked by foot. Hypnotized audiences in matches and on TV hail the little tiny ball kicked over and over by the boots of players. Where is God in this? It is only fanaticism for a dirty little insignificant ball kicked over the dirty grass by the dirty boots of football players. People’s eyes are glued to the little ball. For two hours people are hypnotized over the little magic ball. People simply go crazy over a goal, over players of football who became idols in themselves. Teams and clubs are now new idols worshipped by their fans.
The cult of football has its new Gospel, its new conditions of covenant but all fighting and betting on the little ball. Football fans and worshippers have a cult of rituals, just like in religion, they have their icons, their flags and their songs, their slogans and their animalistic shouting. At the beginning of every match the cult rituals begin and people are taken by the frenzy of the game. They forget themselves and enggage in the game. How many games were cancelled as a result of disputes over the ball? Where is God in all this? The little god of the ball has replaced the Lord Himself and humans bow down to the little idol that does them no good or harm.
Football preoccupies the lives of many people now, but cannot replace the All Mighty. In it lies the handiwork of the diabolical scheme of the devil himself. Leave God and worship the ball, Satan has gained his own bet and millions of people now are members of the biggest cult nowadays represented in the worship of the little ball and the boots that kick it. 
As if people have nothing else to do. People not only take sides and enter into a game of hatred and rivality, against peace and against consensus, but they rally behind one tem of ball kickers gambling on how many goals would one team score and how many scores would another lose. As a result of football idolization and football kickers of the little dirty ball  earn themselves millions in salaries and are object of white slavery sales by their clubs.
Would not be God more worthy of being the object of the human cult? Of admiration and of worship? Would not be the creator of such an admirable universe and all the miracles within, it all to perfection, worthy of human attention, of human acknowledgement and human preoccupation and human celebration?
Read more about these perspectives in the .Journal of direct democracy and God.’

Eclipses and its impact

Eclipses and its impact
Author: Ramani Seshadri
During the course of discussions on KALA SARPA DOSHA, visitors asked about eclipses which are  always puzzling the people. During the solar eclipses, always it is customary practice for the scientists to give warning to people about the vulnearability of looking at the SUN during the eclipse period. Now we will witness solar eclipse on 20th of May 2012, This will not be visible in India, but will be visible in USA/Japan. Whether eclipse is visible or not, when such event occurs, wherever a person is, it is a must to conduct remedial prayers.
Scientists warn the people about its negative impact on the people and pregnant women have to stay indoors, as it is affecting the kids. It is always that scientific community gives advises only after watching the events and its effects on humans. But in the Vedas and our great sages could find out the reason behind such powers, without visiting these planets wasting trillions of amount and time.
When one really understands what VEDAS say, the great sages could see with their third eye the hidden powers in the universe. The hidden powers in the Planet SUN could be understood by us easily. SUN is the life giver for us and all the FIVE ELEMENTS with which we survive on earth, are created by SUN only. The entire solar system and its planets survive because of SUNs enormous power and gravitational pull. Can anyone physcially see such power of SUN? nor there any scientists who can prove this physically?.
Never these scientists will be able to accept and understand these concepts. Vedas go on describe many such hidden powers in the nature. Vedas not only describe powers of FIRE, EARTH, AIR, WATER AND SKY, ( this can be understood easily by us). but also describes about other powers ( normally called as Devas) like brahma, soman,yama, prithivi, etc., It is these hidden powers which helps in carrying on our routine activities in life. Unless one practices VEDAS and do meditation, it is impossible to understand these powers.
Now let us come to the subject of eclipse. All the hidden powers in this universe as described by  Vedas, are always under the control of planet SUN and Moon. When, anyone of these planets are eclipsed, their powers get curtailed and therefore these hidden devathas could not discharge their duties. In this process, we human beings are getting affected. not only we humans, but also planet Earth.
It is common to see that earth quakes and Tsunamis are linked to such eclipses. This mean that negative effects of eclipses are indeed affecting us very badly. This is the reason that our great sages have prescribed methods to do remedial prayers during eclipses period. Now we are all aware SOLAR ECLIPSE occur during ( New moon) day time and LUNAR ECLIPSE during ( Full Moon), night time. Solar eclipse is considered in astrology as planet RAHU and Lunar eclipse as planet KETHU. Only during these two occasions, we get the opportunity to pray these two planets directly, (when they are physically present), in the form of shadows. Since RAHU AND KETHU has the ability to block SUNs and MOONs  rays coming to us ( earth), our great sages thought it to be a sign of negative things to happen.
Therefore, even our temples are closed during this period and no Pooja and/ or people are allowed inside the temple. This is done to protect the spiritual powers of the idol inside, blessing the people visiting them. Now the question here is under such circumstances, how the prayers can be done and what is the procedure as suggested by our ancient people?. Our Sages have said that  any Mantra recited once will be equal to thousand times recited. 
It is always in Hinduism, the method adopted for getting rid fo such powerful evil effects are as follows:
1. Fasting during the period:
2. Adopt silence as a method of avoiding problems:
3. Not to take any imporatnt decisions:
4. Sit calmly and pray the GOD and/or meditate on your fabourite GOD:
5. Conduct Bhajans and pray in groups:
6. Take bath and keep yourself neat and clean:
and many more such methods are prescribed and followed by thousands of Hindus. 
These procedures and methods are always good and it is better to practice them regularly.
Now the eclipse of this week, is happening with Kala sarpa dosha is also present, which means that RAHU will be very powerful on that day. Hence, wherever a person is located, it is a must to pray during the eclipse period. Other procedures are as follows:
a. Do not travel :
b. Take bath when eclipse starts and wear simple dress:
c. To sit in a place and calmly do Meditation:
d. Chant the Mantra whatever one may know:
e. Never eat anything during this period:
f. On completion of eclipse, again take bath and visit a temple or offer prayer in the house itself.
Whenever a prayer or meditation is done, always one should clearly spell out what he/she wants from the ALMIGHTY and seek solution from GOD. Without any purpose, there is no point in offering prayers.

How to Discover Your Life Purpose In God in About 20 Minutes

How to Discover Your Life Purpose In God in About 20 Minutes
Author: Njut Tabi Godlove
As Christians, ‘’we” life by the word, Joshua 1:8 ‘’This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate therein day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.” God has already given every Christian a gateway to a successful life. To live a successful, prosperous and victorious life, you need to meditate on the Word day and night, get the Word into your spirit, then you are sure of a successful foundation. Gone are the days when the Israelites have to move to Jerusalem to pray, kill animals when they needed God to forgive their sins, move to mountains when they needed to talk to God. The new Christian life is, ‘’Christ in you, the hope of glory.” To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27). God is no longer ‘’Emmanuel” (God with us); but ‘’God in us.” This is today’s truth. You can now receive life, grace and salvation to a dying and hurting world. Our lives as Christians is based on faith. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about a hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able to perform. (Romans 4:19-21). Without faith it’s impossible to please God. We can also see the might of faith in Mark 11:23 ‘’truly I say to you that whoever tells this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart but has faith that what he says is going to occur, he will have it so.” When you make a faith proclamation, for example in your life, family, business, it’s not your place to wonder how it’s going to happen, that’s God’s. Yours is to focus and refuse to doubt in your heart. Dealing with doubt in your mind. ‘’For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;) casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalted itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” (2 Corinthians 10:3-5). The strongholds the Bible is referring to here are arguments, theories and even facts that have been set by man. But 2 Corinthians has shown us that we can defeat all these with the weapons of our warfare: our divine utterances, speaking in other tongues, and our bold proclamation of the written word of God. Dealing with doubt in your mind. Having doubts in your mind means being double-minded. James says ‘’…he that wavered is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways” (James 1:6-8). If you find out that, you are always having a double mind when you pray, then what you need to do is to strengthen your faith. And you do this by putting your faith to work. The more you put your faith to work, the stronger it becomes.
 The New Life In Christ!

The Tenth Plague

The Tenth Plague
Author: John Prytz
Matthew 10:34 (King James Version) says “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.” If that’s God’s son saying that, then what must God’s foreign policy be? Well, nowhere is God’s foreign policy more evident than that related in the Book of Exodus and forcing Egypt’s supreme ruler, the pharaoh, to “Let My People Go”. To accomplish that diplomatic trick, God inflicts those ten plagues on pharaoh’s helpless Egyptian people. Now while the first nine plagues might have natural causes, there is no way the last plague, the slaughter of the Egyptian firstborn (and their animals’ firstborn), can be put down to natural happenings. God is judge, jury and executioner. Our loving, compassionate, merciful, forgiving, etc. supreme deity, the Almighty, shows His true colours, no ifs, ands or buts about it. .   I’d wager that any competent criminal psychologist or psychiatrist would conclude that God derives much sensual pleasure and satisfaction from mass murder and He always looks forward to the next time, since God’s done it often enough. However, let’s just examine that one specific case history, the tenth plague that was inflicted on ancient Egypt in the Biblical Book of Exodus. The basic story is that God will go forth among the Egyptian peoples (who have done Him no wrong), and their livestock (who have certainly not sinned) and execute all those who were unfortunate to have been the firstborn (including livestock), except for any and all of whoever of His Chosen People (the Israelites) that leave out a sign that they should be passed over. Here are the relevant chapters and verses, and some points of contention relating to them. *Exodus 3:20 – And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egyptwith all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go. *Exodus 11:4 – And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt. *Exodus 11:5 – And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
 
*Exodus 11:7 – But against any of the children ofIsrael shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians andIsrael. *Exodus 12:12 – For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
*Exodus 12:29 – And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
*Exodus 13:15 – And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast.
Point One: There’s one immediate problem with this ‘firstborn’ extermination. What if prior to that smiting, your firstborn had already died? I mean way back then infant mortality in particular, and mortality rates in general would have been at higher rates for lower age groups, like for the infants, those of childhood ages, even young adults. God cannot smite your firstborn if your firstborn was already dead! Those authors who penned this nonsense should have taken a course in Logic 101.   Point Two: That minor point aside, but as hinted immediately above, firstborn doesn’t just include babies, infants, toddlers, and children. Teenagers and adults, even those middle-aged and the elderly might be a firstborn. Nowhere in Exodus does it associate firstborn with a child or children! In fact, the odds are high that the pharaoh himself was a firstborn since succession of rulers tends to be the firstborn son of the previous pharaoh. I’m 64 years old, and I am a firstborn. Just as well I wasn’t an Egyptian citizen way back then! Take a typical family, say one with five kids. One of those kids will be a firstborn. If the entire Egyptian nation is composed of a one in five ratio of firstborn to later born; and if that one in five is the firstborn that God smites, well that’s a percentage of, well, 20% (give or take). Exterminate one fifth of any nation and I’ll guarantee the person(s) responsible won’t be an object of worship. Even Hitler didn’t exterminate 20% of those residing in Germany and those countries he invaded.   Point Three: So if any modern leader, president, prime minister, chancellor, emperor, king or queen, dictated that all of the firstborn of his or her country were to be executed forthwith, can you imagine the outcry? Even if the resulting death toll would have been ‘only’ 15% or 10% or 5% that would have been the least of his/her worries. Such a person would exceed being on a par with the worst of the worst of terrestrial tyrants – from Hitler to Stalin to Pol Pot back to Genghis Khan or Attila the Hun. The nations of the world would unite quick-smart to act against such a person. Yet because this is God doing the smiting, well that’s okay. Except, in the Old American West He would have likely been lynched by a mob from the highest branch of the tallest oak tree or else tarred and feathered, and drawn and quartered if not buried alive in an ant hill. Point Four: What’s God got against the beasts like cattle? Add animal cruelty to God’s sins. Point Five: It certainly wasn’t the Egyptian people that were responsible for pissing off God, just the political powers-that-be (that unnamed pharaoh). Most certainly the Egyptian beasts of burden weren’t responsible, yet it’s the firstborn of people and beasts that were smitten – that’s the act of a psychopath. Point Six: A far more rational God, a far less sadistic deity, could have caused a hell of a lot less death and suffering of the innocents by just torturing pharaoh into His objective “Let My People Go”. It would have been easier all around. God used a sledgehammer to crack a peanut. God’s an idiot, which would be funny except you wouldn’t expect the Egyptians to be laughing! Point Seven: God also executed judgment against the gods of Egypt (Exodus 12:12). Sorry, but my reading of that little announcement suggests, indeed demands, that there is such a thing as the gods of Egypt, since you can’t pass judgment against something that doesn’t exist! Therefore, God, by his very act, acknowledges the reality of polytheism. Perhaps the gods of Egypt should cast judgment of the God of Israel! Would any impartial jury rule for the God of Israel, or the gods of Egypt? Methinks it’s an open and shut case. God is the murderer, not anyone else, not gods, rulers, commoners or the beasts of Egypt can or should be held accountable. Point Eight: The mass murder of numerous Egyptian citizens is actually ‘celebrated’ by various cultures in something called the Passover. The origins of Passover reside in this ‘historical’ firstborn execution, in that God’s Chosen People, the Israelites that were in Egypt at the time, were passed over when it came to smiting the firstborn. So, for all of you out there in reader-land, if you celebrate Passover, you’re celebrating mass murder by your almighty deity. Least there be any doubt about this, interested readers are invited to check out Exodus chapter 12 for God’s instructions leading up to verse 11 which notes the “Passover” and verse 12 which notes that God will “pass though the land of Egypt” doing His imitation of Charles Manson but sparing those who took heed of the introductory verses of Exodus 12. It’s made crystal clear shortly after, and we notice how the people then worshiped the Biblical Charles Manson. Actually that’s unfair to Charles for he didn’t come close to God’s numbers, not by a long shot.  *Exodus 12:27 – That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD’s passover, who passed over the houses of the children ofIsrael inEgypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped. Point Nine: Obviously God is very, very proud of His mass murder as the Bible (God’s word) refers to it again and again. *Numbers 3:13 – Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the LORD.
*Numbers 8:17 – For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.
*Numbers 33:4 – For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.
*Psalm 78:51 – And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham.
*Psalm 135:8 – Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
*Psalm 136:10 – To him that smoteEgypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever. Point Ten: Note the use of the words “smote” and “mercy” in the same sentence. Wow! Point Eleven: The tenth plague is not an isolated one-off incident. There are numerous other instances from the Bible that equally point out God as being the Jack the Ripper or Charles Manson or any other modern mass murderer, sadistic, serial killer you care to cite as that personified in the Old Testament. For example, please consult Deuteronomy 20:10-17. If all that’s not enough to convince you, there’s always Ezekiel. The following chapter and verses should convince you that the tenth plague was not an isolated incident. Ezekiel 12:20; 25:17; 28:23; 30:26; 32:15; 33:29; 35:4; and 35:9. Point Twelve: If you in fact looked at those eight Ezekiel chapter and verses, you’ll have noted a certain phrase repeated over again and again. We note the everlasting phrase “I am the LORD”. Just to make sure you don’t forget it, that phrase is repeated 162 times in the Bible (King James Version). I personally think that’s a bit on the side of overkill. Can you imagine an American president again and again reminding Americans who is top dog and boss by thundering out “I am the PRESIDENT”! Such constant reminders might be suggestive that the utterances come from one who is really a tad insecure in the position.  Point Thirteen: Speaking of the president, the modern relevance of this little exercise is that yet, in modern America, the 21st Century, you have had presidential candidates (unnamed, but you know who they are), who would be happy to end the separation of church and state and who would govern from the White House according to the texts of the Bible. Governing according to the Bible would mean carrying out God’s version of foreign policy, which is, according to the Bible, something akin to a policy that tends to shoot first, shoot often, shoot to kill and don’t worry about asking all those awkward later questions as dead men tell no tales; the hell with all those later questions, full stop. The President and Commander-in-Chief would be playing the role of God and that would have to include being willing to carry out all the sort of God-performed and God-endorsed atrocities of the Old Testament, like that tenth plague. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. My reading of this is America, be afraid, be very afraid, for even if it doesn’t come to pass in 2012, there’s always 2016, or four years later, or four years after that. Sooner or later, ‘God’ in the persona of POTUS (President of theUnited States) will be elected.   P.S. The closest America came to having ‘God’ in the White House was Christian fundamentalist and thrice Presidential candidate (and triple loser) William Jennings Bryan. Bryan has totally against the theory of evolution and the teaching of that theory in American schools and universities. His main claim to fame is that he was the guest prosecutor in the 1925 Scopes Trial, or the so-called Monkey Trial”. Teacher John T. Scopes was accused of teaching Darwinian evolution to his students in violation of Tennessean state law.  When Bryan himself was placed on the stand by the defence attorney, the famed Clarence Darrow, as an expert in all things Biblical, well the verdict was that Darrow made a ‘monkey’ out of Bryan. Bryan died just five days after the trial ended. Though Scopes was found guilty, the verdict was later overturned on a technicality.

Break Up Spells Are Not Evil As Many Believe

Break Up Spells Are Not Evil As Many Believe
Author: Carlos Flores
Break up spells have always been a source of controversy. We—believe—the universe does not favor those who tear a relationship. But there are cases in which using a spell to separate a couple is justified.

Adultery can end with your happiness and well-being, overall with that of your children, if you have. Such issue can cause trouble for—years—to come: arguments, divorce proceedings, etc. Break up spells, however, can terminate the relationship between your spouse and the adulterer or adulteress. This and a little effort to rekindle your relationship is often enough to solve the problem.

Losing your spouse to another person is similar to adultery. However, after a spell to separate them, an ex-lover back spell is often required to recover your relationship.

There are many variations to the above scenarios.

How Are Break Up Spells Done?

Break up spells are an extensive matter. There are many types of them. So we will explore 2 of the most popular.

There is a type of spell to make a couple fight, forcing them to break up. This can be used to break up your spouse’s relationship with an outside lover or any other couple who wronged you. Typically, a spell like this is done using feces among other ingredients.

Another type of spell is simply to make a couple fall out of love for them to split up. This can be used to end your spouse’s affair or your own marriage when you have fallen out of love with your spouse. Such spell is done using plants, species among other ingredients.

Depending on the harm that was done to you, you will want to use one or the other spell.

Cautions To Have With Break Up Spells

A spell to make a couple fall out of love for them to split up involves working with peaceful energies and so is completely safe. However, a spell to make a couple fight to separate them involves working with negative energies and nasty stuff. Therefore, the person doing the spell can result affected.

To prevent this, the person must protect him- or herself before performing the break up spells and magically cleanse the area afterwards. Otherwise the energies caught during a spell may cause fights in the relationships of the caster.

The caster should wear gloves when doing a spell to separate a couple using nasty stuff, such as feces. Besides the negative energies with which they are charged during the spell, they contain bacteria that can cause diseases; for example, typhoid fever.

Another thing to keep in mind is that if you break your spouse and his or her outside lover by making them fight, your spouse can end up in jail. Often, that is for only a few days, which would teach him or her a lesson, but can last longer depending on the charges made to him or her. This is no good if you want your spouse back.

Conclusion

We were all given free will and if you permit someone to interfere in your relationship, it is all your decision. Unless you use break up spells without a good reason—they are not evil. They can impede conflicts in your relationship or family.

Nostradamus’ prediction Jibankrishna the Universal man and my future vision

Nostradamus’ prediction Jibankrishna the Universal man and my future vision
Author: Dr Dipak Pramanik
Introduction
Out of curiosity one day I was searching in the websites on Nostradamus’ predictions for 21st Century on spiritualism and I was overwhelmed with surprised seeing some of his quatrains which completely corroborate the phenomenon of Jibankrishna(Diamond), his discussions as well as many of my visions on Jibankrishna’s new concept of universal religion spreading throughout the world.
Before narrating my future visions through dreams, a few interesting quatrains are given with some interpretations as learnt from Jibankrishna or Diamond, my God-the-Preceptor.
Nostradamus used to see the visions through a state of trance from where his pure consciousness used to act on his mind. The theory lies in the fact that this human brain is the carbon copy of this whole Universe including past, present and future. Man is Brahma or Supreme Being in a hidden state within him. It manifests within the human body spontaneously. And when it does, the human brain is transformed into pure consciousness when these revelations take place, as happened in my case by the grace of God-the-Preceptor Jibankrishna or Diamond.
In a pure mind these revelations about past and future occur spontaneously, both about spiritual and material aspects, as happened in case of Nostradamus. This is not a miracle but a natural process and innate in a man. When we don’t know the reason, we call it miracle.
The ongoing chapters are not for the final conclusion about the corroboration between Nostradamus’ predications on spiritual aspects and new spiritual phenomenon encircling Jibankrishna (Diamond) or my future visions, but this should be taken from analytical point of view as we have to wait and see.
                                                      Chapter – 1
In Century 1-48 Nostradamus mentions :
                        When twenty years of the Moon’s reign have passed,
                        another will take up his reign for seven thousand years,
                        When the exhausted sun takes up his cycle
                        Then my prophecy and threats will be accomplished.
Here one of the esoteric meaning is like thus :
In one sense moon represents Bhakti Cult according to Hindu scriptures, which means dualism. Sun represents knowledge – knowledge of oneness or oneism. In oneism there exists only God and that God exists nowhere except this human body in the form of scattered life power, and this life power through the Susumna nerve gets concentrated in the seventh plane or the cerebrum and seen as God’s light or Atma or great Soul.
He who visualizes this Atma in full form is transformed into God and then becomes the Soul of every human being. He is then seen by myriads of people in dreams, trances, meditation transforming them into one with him. This is the knowledge of oneness, and the man exists so long the human race exists. In other word he becomes immortal.
Here the term ‘twenty years’ has been revealed in one of my dream thus:
On 24.11.2009 I had a strange dream which is as such :
A Far Future – Travel by Spaceship with more than light speed to other Solar Planet meeting aliens and Diamond’s invasion
November 24, 2009. Thursday.
88) Early morning dream: I saw myself sitting in a spaceship along with some unknown people. I had no idea where I was going and why I was taken. It seemed to me as if the spaceship was running with more than light speed, but through the  transparent, large windows I could see the unnatural scene outside full of meteors, stars, planets etc. I felt that they were moving very slowly. It was really a strange journey.
However, within a few moments I saw myself in another place which seemed to me to be a place of unnatural scene and in another solar world. At that time I couldn’t other passengers but felt the existence of the habitats of that planet. They were not distinct, but I was feeling their existence. Then I saw myself sitting in a lonely place and the name of Jibankrishna (Diamond) was continuously uttered from my mouth enveloping the whole place.
After a while I realized that they decided to take me back to our world. Accordingly one of them told me in telepathic language, ‘We shall take you back to your own world, but you know that in the meantime twenty years have passed in your world.’ I felt no difficulties in understanding their telepathic language as I had the same experiences in telepathic language in my previous dreams.
One thing I was realizing that these aliens seemed to be advance by thousands of years in every aspect and at the same time, very wise, and modest. They talked to me also in a very modest way.
However, they sent me back to my home and when I entered into my house I realized that long time had passed. The elder members of the family passed away. I saw my grandson (my nephew’s son) inside a room. Seeing me he exclaimed, ‘Grandpa, where had you been for so long years? But you are not changed at all! What has happened you know? Your works on Jibankrishna (Diamond) have achieved a great publicity among the people throughout the world.’
I understand the sense of his saying that though the cosmic time took a few seconds according to our world time, it took twenty years and for this reason he saw no change in me as I was a time traveler.
Another interesting thing was that my grandson was at the present moment twelve years in reality, but in the dream I saw him thirty two years as I returned after twenty years.
[The dream carries a lot of meanings to me instantly.
1. The sound ‘Jiban’ means ‘Life’ which is cosmic. In many of my previous dreams, this sound emerged from my brain enveloping the whole universe. The effect of such dream is seen now-a-days among the people of different parts of the world.
2. The dream gave a clear indication of the future world.
3. After many years when human race will reach the zenith of science and technology, such type of spaceship will be discovered and we can have time travel to reach other solar worlds.
4. Telepathic language may be used after long, long years.
5. When human race will reach the zenith of knowledge, they will become such wise, modest with pure consciousness like the habitats of the other solar world seen in my dream.
6. There is every possibility of the existence of habitats in other solar worlds.
I understand one thing that whatever is in our brain is projected outside and we see these things. Whatever is discovered on earth was inside human brain.
The dream also revealed that my brain cells are now exposed on these aspects like spaceship, telepathic language which means that these are exposed within the whole human race. Atma or Great Soul is one. So whatever is exposed in a man it will be exposed within the whole human race.
After four days I got a confirmation from a news paper cutting that the Deputy Director of Academy of Science (Space Research Center), Bulgaria has made a comment that there are existence of aliens, but after10-15 years even if we can communicate them, we have to do it through telepathic language.
Let’s wait and see what happens in future.
This quatrain has such meaning that so long the sun exists, a Great Prophet will exist illuminating his knowledge of oneness discarding the dualism in the spiritual world.
Jibankrishna forecasted as such on April 26,1958:
I am a human being. I am one and at the same time I am many whenever you are seeing my form within you. And to become many is not conveyed by me. On the contrary, you are informing me that you are seeing me within you.
The form of mine which is created within you, is no other than God. Then all of us are becoming one. Where is the duality? Everything is one and this can be explained very easily through one unit.
After 500-700 years later, those who have these experiences, this phenomenon will continue in their families. Even after that how this culture will grow, cannot be concluded. Again many will experience these through your contact. And this way this phenomenon may spread.
On 5th July, 1958 he forecasted:
This phenomenon can be defined as seeing the form of living person within a human body. We have understood that this human being is the truth and this is the zenith. Now who is that person? Still now we have not conceived why it is happening and what will happen in future.
In far future this phenomenon will spread and then you will get your answer.
Chandogya Upanishad has mentioned on this aspect :
 As long as the sun shall rise in the east and set in the west, so long will he compass the over lordship and the Chief sovereignty of the Vasus (3.6.4). Here ‘he’ means the Purusha or the great Person who has visualized great Soul or Atman and is transformed into God.
