Religion: Sibling Rivalry

Through research, I learned to believe that no prophet actually started any of the Abrahamic religions. Seriously... think about it. It was the disciples/followers, who could have easily corrupted the original teachings to suit their own purposes. They could have been swayed by political or culture influences of the time period. 

After all, a lot of it was word of mouth, stories told over time, before being written down, and we know how that can create errors. Translating languages can create difficulties in the interpretation or maybe they didn't quite like what they were interpreting so they rewrote it or left it out.

Do we really know for sure? Anyone alive today to dispute it? Nope! 

And, if we are to believe in this "written word," we were told not to idol worship prophets. Is it just possible that God was trying to avoid the fighting between religions (siblings) when he commanded: You shall have no other gods before Me? Being the oldest of eight, I can relate to sibling rivalry and how it can become mentally and physically unheathy. Look at the story of Cain and Abel.

That's what I feel about these Abrahamic religions. They have become bratty siblings who are fighting over whose "word" is best. Words, as I mentioned above, that could have been very easily corrupted over time. Words that keep creating wars. Words that have become our drug of choice. Sibling rivalry kept alive due to the money involved. Isn't it time we say enough is enough to this fighting?

Serial Killer Earth?

Years ago, I was watching a TV series called Serial Killer Earth. I thought it was an interesting term for the dark side of nature. When I commented about it, a friend defined the difference between killer and murderer that I felt was an excellent definition.

He said: "You know a "Killer" is a living creature that takes the life of another living creature because it has to. It kills for food so that it may continue living (this is the usual reason), or in self defense to protect itself, domain (territory), or family. These are all acceptable by most people (though some would rather die than defend themselves or homes or families). Most of these creatures have to do this more than once so therefore qualify as "Serial Killers." It's a matter of survival, the biological urge of all of us, except those of us who have overcome our fleshly desires or biological urges. Now a murderer is another story. They take lives just for fun (they like it), just because they want to."

He continued with explaining that's why, in one form or another, we're all serial killers in order to survive - from mammals, to insects and plant life. He then said: "And that's why earth does what it does. It also kills to survive."

It's deep but it resonated. It's the kind of comment that makes one think... hmmm.

Here's the link to the series if anyone's interested: http://www.history.com/shows/serial-killer-earth

Can't See the Forest for the Trees

Lately, I've been hearing, "Can't see the forest for the trees." I just heard it again. The feeling I get is that there are some people, on all sides, who are concentrating on a particular area/subject/topic (self-serving) and not seeing the "bigger picture" when it comes to President Trump and America.

Sadly, I see where their hate or desires are causing them to nitpick over what many feel are little things compared to this bigger picture. I've even read or heard these "prayers" for the personal things people want. I've had my moments too.

However, I've learned that "no" can often be the best answer to our prayer. I discovered this at a young age, living within a big family, that not everything was about me and my wants. As much as I hated hearing no, I understood, after the reason was given, the higher purpose behind it. My parents saw the forest while I was only looking at the trees.

Even with the path I'm on, in this life, it's been fraught with setbacks. I've often heard not now or no. Because of this, I've learned about control and letting go, whenever necessary, by looking for and accepting any bigger picture. In other words, in the higher realm of things, and through reasoning and understanding, the universe, like my parents, showed me the forest.

Religious Teachings - Fake News

Paul (Saulos Tarseus), was an apostle (though not one of the Twelve Apostles) who taught the gospel of the Christ to the first century world. According to writings in the New Testament, prior to his conversion, Paul was dedicated to persecuting the early disciples of Jesus in the area of Jerusalem. - Wikipedia 

Jeffrey Daugherty, former minister for the Assemblies of God Church, believes that the message of Jesus was changed by the Apostle Paul (apostle: someone sent out with a message) in order to create a structure to control the general populace of the Roman Empire. He also believes that Paul was hand picked by the Roman Emperor Nero to de-emphasize Christ's message that the kingdom lies within each person, and they don't require the guidance of an outside emperor or king. Daugherty feels that Paul was spinning the popularity of the Jesus message of salvation but trying to put it back under the sinner needing a savior type of scenario; crafting a beautiful guilded cage out of what Jesus had provided. 

Paul was criticized by certain medieval Muslim writers, as well as some modern ones. The main criticism revolves around the claim that Paul misrepresented the original teachings of Jesus. Even Thomas Jefferson, America's third president, complained about how Jesus' message had been usurped. He wrote, "Of this band of dupes and impostors, Paul was the first corrupter of the doctrines of Jesus."

I believe that Jesus taught empowerment, the mysteries of the universe, and mind power. He expected to teach his students and have them move on - not have permanent followers. Following, to me, just means the teacher isn't getting the job done or the student isn't grasping the teachings. In that case, good teachers would ask students to find other teachers - not worship them.

However, Apostle Paul was not a direct student of Jesus, making it more plausible for his misinterpretation. I've learned, based on watching my students, that they aren't always identical to their teachers, even when taught directly. They often incorporate their individuality within what they've learned. Also, corrupt teachings could be due to an angry or jealous student, as well as, ignorance of the teachings due to an inattentive student. You can also see this difference in a teacher/student scenario with parents and children. Children grow up learning from their parents but will not necessarily be like them.

Therefore, it makes sense to me that verbal words could have been corrupted before putting it into written words and even corrupted after that, based on interpretation. Something else to consider: it depends on who was in charge of putting it in writing, as well as the one doing the translation. For emphasis, it's interesting to read how many "bibles" were around and why. 

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Bible

In conclusion, history has taught us that religions, no matter the prophet, can have their good and bad sides. Not one has perfection over another's. Paul is only one example of how teachings can be changed - innocently or purposefully. We should be aware that any "prophets' words," that we read today, may have been erroneously translated or deliberately corrupted. With all the "fake news," we're dealing with today, we can see how easily this would have been done and why.

Want An Answer? Channel It!

Sometimes, I shake my head over social media comments that some people make. After the constant warnings of fake news, I'm amazed that some are still so fast to judge and still don't understand how their bias can be used to manipulate their emotions. It's, possibly, why I read a huge amount of arrogant comments on a daily basis. 

In particular, there are the arrogant remarks directed to people who they feel are opposed to their political idealogy (whichever side that may be), who are not commenting fast enough on any recent news topic. The typical: "Now what do you have to say? What? The sound of silence? I thought so!" Well, instead of being so haughty, maybe they should consider a few things. Let's put this in perspective. 

First: Maybe these people are waiting for the facts to add up instead of being caught up in rampant, fake news, which might lower themselves to the aggressor's standards by replying too soon. 

Second: Maybe they know that commenting would cause a pointless debate with someone of limited gray-matter and they choose not to participate. After all, just because someone tosses out a line, doesn't mean another has to take the bait. 

Third: Maybe, just maybe, they did comment, but on THEIR wall or on THEIR public page. Of course, people would know their opposition's feelings if they hadn't "unfollowed" them or if they had "liked" those many public pages. In the common sense department, this would be a way to read, and be more aware of, a different point of view.

Finally, if anyone really wants an expeditious response, and they're not just being bratty, they can learn to read people. It's not like many, including me, haven't spent years teaching the steps on channeling the God/Universal mind for truth and wisdom; which may help them know who's really telling the truth, once they learn to get their ego out of the way. In fact, even if they are being bratty, about wanting an answer, my response would be, "channel it." But, just as it takes effort to look up information on the internet, all this knowledge takes effort too... so, I'm not holding my breath. 

Look Beyond What You See

My life's story has taught me that one must remove their blinders in order to see beyond their current awareness. 

I shared this comment (below) on a post I was tagged on. It's in regards to the scenario of "why me and no one else in my family." I, completely, believe that not every mental or physical illness is inherited through family genetics or an environmental issue. Yet, what else can we call it without knowing more?

--------- My Comment
I heard this from a South American Shaman on TV one night and a light bulb went off in my brain. He said, "every ailment is spirit, whether it be yours or another's."

This is true, because many people forget they've been here before and may have brought past life diseases with them - from within their soul. This could also explain timing: why did it happen to me at 40 and not before? Because, you may be programmed to have it happen then, due to it happening many times before during that time frame. These are situations that can happen from our soul due to soul genetics. 

Outside of that, it could be from another's spirit - meaning as little as catching a cold from another to a full on plague going on around you that attacks you too. 

As far as "outside spirits," there can be those who are invisible but attached to your soul causing problem. Spirits you either brought with you, or attached to you, due to what you got involved in during this life. The proverbial magnet of the mind that draws you to something and keeps you there to serve another's purpose.

This could even be to feed into a medical system or to keep someone from walking away from getting just one tattoo. The obsessive-compulsive behavior that may not be directly our own, but an influence from another who may be keeping one locked into a situation in order to feed/clothed/shelter them at our expense.
----------

So you see, there are many scenarios of why things happen. For instance, besides the typical environmental situations, we, as I mentioned in the comment, may have soul genetics (past or present life) creating problems. These programmed soul moments, especially if it's a strong memory, can affect our current physical and mental existence, which has nothing to do with family genetics. In fact, family genetics may often protect us, in certain circumstances. 

Furthermore, based on my personal awareness, as well as others who have written to me about their experiences, some incidents can and have been "thought projections" from another. Have you ever had a feeling that "someone out there must not like me?" Or ask yourself, "what did I do in a past life to deserve this?" 

As Rafiki said, in The Lion King, "look beyond what you see." Our ability of looking beyond, via telescopes, microscopes and space travel, can and has opened doors of discovery, as well as answered many of our puzzling questions. Why not looking beyond and understanding the soul connection?

Ask Atomarane: Psychic Possession or Attacks True Stories

This is the front and back cover of my book, Ask Atomarane: Psychic Possession or Attacks True Stories. On the back cover is the beginning of a conversation that I had with someone on my Atomarane You Tube channel. We had never met - as with the majority of the people who wrote me. The balance of this conversation is inside; which I decided to share below. As you can tell by this being numbered 106, there are many more questions and answers in the book. Conversations that will have you understand why I've often said: truth is stranger than fiction. 

~ 106 ~

SUBSCRIBER: I want to share with you an odd experience that happened today. When I wrote you the other day, as soon as I clicked to Send Message, a woman and a man that I sensed in spirit, who had been standing off a ways during my typing, came over and were not friendly and the energy was not good. They didn't directly speak to me; then they left shortly. I sensed it was like they had evaluated all that I had written to you, scrutinizing my email by listening telepathically.

Today I was going to reply to your note with some additional comments and add what I felt was helpful information for you. Just after I clicked to Send Message this same woman approached me quickly and was hostile, saying that she now has me and was threatening me. I was informed it all had to do with anyone who gives her aid referring to you.

I figured out then that my first email basically was a thank you letter, so that's why they didn't say anything to me then. While this woman was harassing me over the fact that I was giving you information, my laptop somehow froze and my email wasn't sent. That really doesn't happen much with my laptop as it is just a couple months old and is functioning very well. I noticed this, yet didn't let on to her that the email wasn't sent in order to find out more as to why she was here, a stranger, and now harassing me. She basically wanted to psychically attack me just because I sent information to you. She saw that I wasn't upset at her threats, and asked me what's going on, so I informed her at that point that the email didn't go through. She then yelled over to the other man, the same one who was here with her the other day, and she said to him, "We goofed, it didn't get sent.” Then they both left. They did reveal their intentions to me, but for some reason they couldn't go through with any of their threats because my email didn't actually get sent.

Are you aware of what all this might be about and do you have any thoughts as to why this happened?

ATOMARANE: Yes. It appears that I must be really frightening people with my knowledge or why bother intimidating others over me. That's how I look at it. I have had friends tell me this, too, many times. I have a large support system going for me now with others who have experienced similar things. They seem to think they can keep intimidating people and it will go unnoticed. They did this to me, but they picked on the wrong one this time. I had to learn a lot to protect myself.

That's why I was asked to make videos, to tell people my story of what was done to me. So, you can see why they fear this going public. Even that is too late, as it already has, and now my books are finally published too.

They know that intelligent people are going to ask questions like: who, why, when, where, and all that, giving this much validity. Which of course will bring about repercussions on them and that's what they fear. Instead of owning up to it and making amends, they keep sending out more reinforcements to hurt others, as well as me, as if this will cover their tracks. Miserable souls to think they will not have such negative karma due to it.

I will look into this for you as someone has been messing with my computer today, too, thinking it will stop me from talking to people. After 20 plus years they haven't shut me up yet, so I know that God is on my side and they'll just have to make amends. Here is a video I made about it. It has two parts. “Spirit Nemesis, Telekinetic Attacks, Psychic Self Defense – True Story.”

Also, I started looking at your website yesterday and was pulled away from looking at it. I was being asked to get some other things done. Maybe a distraction, but now I feel it may be to keep me from knowing you more. I think they get aggravated with me because I tell people all the time: united we stand - divided we fall. I think they are realizing that the ones who came back are the strong ones and that has made them extremely jealous. This is what I have heard from others too.

Hang in there. Apparently, peace comes at a high price.

SUBSCRIBER: I appreciate your taking the time to explain what you and your friends are going through and I am indeed very sorry about it. Although you didn't say specifically who they are, those you have a history of sorts interfering in your life.

Since these spirit people also came to my home twice now, I inquired of the Lord as to who they are and whom they represent. I was told they are Pleiadian, yet not from the group depicted as Reptilians. They are of the "Star-seed Level or Wavelength.” They were here to intimidate me I am told, "to not be willing to offer aide, and to not be willing to share any information with you.” Now as to why, I am told they are a part of a "team effort to cause trouble and interference and have done so to you for many years.”

I, too, do not respond to bullying tactics and am not afraid of beings like this. What concerns me is that they said they are "attached to you" and that was why they did not want anyone allowing a level of release of their attachment or interfering. That's why they threatened me. There seems to be some kind of relationship, of sorts, relating to your work, which has a downside. This is where the issue stems from, so I am told.

ATOMARANE: Thanks for sharing all you discovered. If “attached” means to cause problems for me through others then attached it must be, but in their minds. I feel they are more attached to their archaic beliefs and desperate enough by harming not only our bodies, but our property, i.e. computers. The downside, as far as I can see, is still their beliefs as they want to continue to control and manipulate. They are not willing to share power (knowledge) due to their own corruptness of it.

I'm sure, in time, everything will work out for the both of us; all of us. Thanks again for telling me what happened to you. Never meeting or knowing you before this helps to reinforce what I have been saying about what my friends were also telling me.

No Discrimination? Ever?

I saw this comment (below) posted on YouTube and decided to share it after I cleaned it up a little. I don't know the person's name (nom de plume), but it looked as if it was copied and pasted. The main reason I wanted to share it was due to the content of the message and the intense feeling I received on how far will we allow ourselves to be manipulated by the mantra of - No Discrimination!

This has become a very slippery slope, especially in the areas of rape and pedophilia that is escalating around our planet. Where do we draw the line? Are we being set up due to naivety? Will we, eventually, be manipulated in these areas, as well? Do no harm? How do we know what's going to create that ripple and when? How do we know who will infiltrate into our legislative and judicial systems to change our laws to satisfy their ideology or culture?

~~~~ Comment

Do you know why radical Islam will dominate over us? If I said to you: not all groups deserve no-discrimination; we must discriminate against certain groups. Would you agree? No.

If I said to you that everyone is not equal. Certain groups must not have equal rights. Would you agree? No.

If I said to you that not all religions deserve religious freedom. Certain groups must not have the right to practice their faith. Would you agree? No.

And this is why radical Islam will dominate over us. How? We believe that no one should be discriminated against. So, when they bomb us, terrorize us, and colonize our lands, we still cannot discriminate against them, because of our own mentality.

We believe that everyone deserves equal rights. So when radical Islamists despise our way of life, despise our values, infiltrate our governments, become politicians, and attempt to subvert our civilization, we still cannot take away their equal rights - because of our own mentality.

We believe that they should have the right to practice Islam. So, when these mosques preach hatred against us, incite violence against us, teach their followers to kill us, inculcate anti-democratic, anti-freedom values, we still cannot take away the right of anyone to practice Islam - because of our own mentality.

And so we see, this is why our civilization will fall to radical Islam and they will dominate over us. Our own mentality will be the reason behind our downfall. And even if we realize this, we still cannot change our mentality, because we are set in our ways.

Indeed, from an evolutionary perspective, any civilization which is this insane, that it inflicts destruction upon its own self, by its own self, and refuses to change its suicidal mentality, is not worthy of survival.

Hmmm... no discrimination? Ever?

Memorial

My great-grandmother, Eva Seymour Jenks (1852-1927), was a family historian where much of our Jenks and Seymour lines were recorded and handed down through the family. She wrote this poem in tribute for her half-brother, Dr. Henry Parker Seymour (1830-1885). It was published in her local Oakland County, Michigan newspaper, May 30, 1906.

 

I thought I was going to only share her heartfelt poem until I saw his Civil War military record and felt it was worthy of sharing too. Sadly, I do not have a picture of him, so I decided to share a picture of her and her husband, Oliver T. Jenks (circa 1886).  It is my hope that someone may come across this blog and will have a picture of Dr. Seymour in order to put a face to this tribute.

Memorial by Eva Seymour Jenks

Away in a far-distant churchyard
Lies a soldier, one stalwart and brave,
Who enlisted way back in the sixties,
His country and flag to help save;
But today, in his green grave at Linden,
He is sleeping to waken no more –
A dearly loved brother – my only –

Who fought in those battles of yore.

But I know that some hands kind and tender
“Old Glory” will place on his tomb,
And will cover his lonely bed over
With the sweetest of flowers in bloom –
And so, for the sake of that brother
Who sleeps his last sleep far away,
I will scatter some beautiful blossoms
Over other brave soldiers today.

So bring hither the loveliest flowers,
The sweetest and brightest in bloom,
And scatter them tenderly – kindly –
O’er each soldier-boy’s tomb,
And let the bright flag wave above them –
Our soldiers – so brave and so true;
For next to their love for their country,
Was their love for the Red, White and Blue.

Red as the life blood shed for it.
Blue as the bright summer sky.
White as the mantle that winter
Spreads over the low graves where they lie:
Let “old glory” its bright colors wave,
And scatter the beautiful flowers
Over each brave soldier’s grave.
~~~~~~~~~~

Walls

Throughout history, we have been shown where walls are necessary. As long as there is fighting and division, they provide an important purpose of insuring peace of mind from those who wish to control, conquer or worse. 

Because of this, these physical walls aren't ready to be knocked down. They serve a dual purpose by keeping people out as well as keeping people in. 

Either way, whether it's a wall around our home, a prison wall, or border walls, they are, generally, our requirement for feeling safe and protected. No one should be deprived of this right.
