A Politician's Mindset (one size fits all): Destroys Progress, Freedom, Justice! Why?

This video discusses the 'idea' called Democracy! What is it? Who has it? Does it work? Why is this 'idea' adopted by the WEST as their 'Uni-polar' concept? Why do many reject this 'idea'?

In today's Wall Street Journal there was an article on the progress of justice and growth in Chile. Many pundits from prior periods viewed Chile as becoming a first world nation with progress, freedom, and justice for all (soon). In reality, the OPPOSITE is happening as I write. Chile is descending into chaos as people protest for a new mindset and new leadership. But leadership can not improve IMO as long as politicians rule over us. It's impossible! Let's think about this 'idea' of politicians ruling over us!

As I look at situations around our planet, I witness chaos in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, the middle America nations, the Middle East nations, much of Asia, Russia, Europe, and also my nation of America. Chaos is emerging as people get themselves educated on all the corruption and dysfunction within politics. Political leaders think wrongly (but they do not admit this). They desire a ONE SIZE FITS ALL for their nation/group/territory. This mindset is anathema to progress, individual freedom, justice, and happiness for the many. We have 6,000 years of history as evidence!

The realities of the marketplace reveal that people are UNIQUE and different. My 'size' is not your 'size'. I think differently from you and you think differently from me (on many issues of life). This is reality in real-time and it creates HUGE problems for political leaders who desire for us to CONFORM to their mindset. A political leader (say Biden or Putin) wants everyone to buy into his mindset on reality, progress, justice, and freedom. This is absurd thinking since we ALL (in reality) think differently and we all have different desires/motivations/talents/points-of-view!

The idea that Xi, Putin, or Biden can create a world of happiness (for everyone) is ABSURD. A political leader MUST impose HIS/HER worldview (viewpoint) on the masses in order to GOVERN. Conformity and unity of mindset is required if a political leader is to govern successfully. But this mindset ignores REALITY (we are all different/unique/special). We do not think (necessarily) as Biden, Putin, or Xi thinks. And this goes for ALL political leaders on our planet. The mindset of ONE SIZE FITS ALL is absurd and counterproductive. It can NEVER work for this planet!

Think of a bar environment to discern this message. When I was a bartender I could relate to each customer uniquely. I could accept each customer completely as I had no motivation to IMPOSE my will/ideas/goals upon them. Every customer was different/unique/special. Why would I want to IMPOSE my political/philosophical/religious views UPON them (the 'other')? I had no need for this behavior (even as I maintained my own personal viewpoint on all/any issue). Reality prevailed in this bar environment!

Politics, however, works to DESTROY the special uniqueness of the individual. It works to IMPOSE a 'one size fits all' mentality upon the group. It needs this mindset in order to govern. So, a politician must destroy our special differences/uniqueness when policy is made. Race must be viewed precisely as the politician thinks. Beliefs must be similar to the politician (in power) so progress (mandation of laws/rules) can be accomplished. Biden must IMPOSE his worldview upon the nation to govern successfully. He KNOWS this! He try's to accomplish his viewpoint for the WHOLE. This can never work!

Putin, also, must IMPOSE his views (upon the nation) to govern Russia. Zelenskyy must do similar to govern Ukraine. Xi must do similar to govern China. Even the leader of SWEDEN (supposedly an enlightened nation) must do similar to govern Sweden (my parents home country). It doesn't matter which country (on planet earth) is mentioned, all must act with a MINDSET of 'one size fits all' to govern successfully. And this mindset DESTROYS progress, freedom, justice, and individual happiness for the many. It's totally DIABOLICAL and CORRUPT to the core! But FEW comprehend!

Few comprehend what is happening on this planet (so it seems to me). We have some 8 billion unique individuals who live their lives on this planet. All are required to BOW to the mindset of their political leaders. In today's internet world this can not WORK for long. People want freedom, justice, and meaningful progress. Our politicians and their 'deep state' operatives want the opposite so they can IMPOSE their views on the many. This mindset leads to WAR, CHAOS, and CORRUPTION. It also leads to CONTROL, ENSLAVEMENT, and CRIMINAL behavior.

Is their an ALTERNATIVE to this situation? Can our world system be structured differently so that each person can grow within their own viewpoint (which is unique to them)? I say YES. This is possible and practical once ALL our politicians STEP DOWN from their ivory towers of control. This mindset of our politicians is our real problem on this planet. We need to RELATE as EQUALS. This can only happen if all our politicians STEP DOWN from power and control. Political POWER is the big kahuna that needs to be solved. 

One size could fit all if we allow our Higher POWER to rule over this planet. This HIGHER power has the mindset of allowing each person to govern themselves. SELF GOVERNMENT is the mindset of our Creator. Our POTTER (we are the clay) knows that we each are different and unique. HE created us to be INDIVIDUALS. But our political system (under the 'invisible' DARK forces) prevent this outcome. We need to abolish these 'invisible' DARK FORCES (tie them up) so that an ENLIGHTENED mindset might prevail for the planet.

Our Messiah of 31 A.D. desired this outcome IMO. He called this the KINGDOM OF GOD. GOD would rule this planet. GOD would own this planet (all territory and all resources). GOD would work (via his 'invisible' spirit) to bring PEACE and HAPPINESS to planet earth. This outcome would STOP all the chaos and corruption within our SYSTEM (over time). The KINGDOM would bring this planet FREEDOM and JUSTICE for the many (everyone). Think on this idea. The KINGDOM AGE is what this planet needs!

My sense is that our CURRENT situation can not improve for the MANY as long as politicians rule over us. Biden is corrupt, Putin is corrupt, Xi is corrupt. All politicians create their OWN corruption and dysfunction as they try to IMPOSE 'one size fits all' on their territory. It's a DIABOLIC mindset which can NEVER work for this planet. We need a NEW MINDSET. I could not govern you and you certainly can not govern me. We need a HIGHER POWER (this invisible source called GOD) to govern this planet. 

Nothing else will WORK. We have 6,000 years of history as our prove. Read history to discover the reality of politicians. They are HUMAN and flawed. We are all HUMAN and flawed (to some extent). We need a PERFECT source to govern this planet. Biden, Putin, Xi (as examples of every politician) can not GOVERN successfully. It's IMPOSSIBLE! Can 'one size fit all' work? I say NEVER. I am unique. You are unique. We were created to THINK differently! Our MINDS need to be FREE from the 'other'! Each of us needs to relate as EQUALS! This is impossible under our current corrupt political system.

Think of a BAR environment for the entire planet. Everyone relates as an EQUAL. Differences are respected. Freedom is allowed. Responsibility is required. Respect emerges over time as people CHANGE to a KINGDOM mentality. Behavior changes spontaneously. Our HIGHER POWER rules this planet. You and I serve each other. Decentralization of the planet happens. Small is beautiful in this type of environment. Amazing philosophy! It's all revealed in holy scripture for those with discernment. That is my point-of-view! Have a great day! Get yourself educated!

The first seven minutes of this video provides great insight into the idea called the Kingdom of God! Messiah Yeshua received this 'idea' from his Father (shortly after his baptism). He preached this 'idea' but it was changed and squashed after his physical death. Is it time to revive this 'idea'?

The STRAW which breaks the CAMEL'S back! When? Where? How?

We are now at the end point of 2022. Today is December 10. Soon we will be into 2023 and events could then BREAK the CAMEL'S back (meaning a major event will happen to change people's thinking/behavior). Personally, I had expected a major black swan event to happen in 2022. This is still possible but it now looks like we will enter 2023 without a major event which changes human thinking/behavior.

The general category within which I am watching/expecting major change are the following:

1. A crash of our global stock markets.

2. A major change in the escalation of the Ukraine war.

3. The adoption of a global Digital Currency by our Central Banks.

As of today, all of the above are harbingers for a major change in human thinking/behavior. My study of history reveals that economic conditions are KEY to human behavior. The last great economic event (which changed global thinking/behavior) was the Great Depression of 1929. This event changed human thinking and human behavior and then everyone wanted major change to alleviate this economic condition. The catalyst for major change was economics/finance/philosophy.

As to today, our global stock markets are holding together and no crash of these markets has happened (as yet). The computers at our Central Banks can over-ride the general trading computers so as to prevent this stock market crash (for a season). All this is likely to change soon. The BIG kahuna which I watch is housing/real estate market. If real estate values crash (as I expect in 2023) then this event will change human thinking and human behavior quickly.

The harbingers of a real estate crash are here now. Interest rates have more than doubled this past year. Affordability has crashed. It takes some time for all this to affect sales and values, however,  some declines are starting. In my area of Arizona, I am witnessing a slow-down in sales and some declines in prices. I expect this trend to magnify in 2023 and then the markets will change significantly. Our stock markets will then bow to these events in our real markets.

Once the domino's start to fall, human thinking will change quickly and behavior will create a need for politicians to ACT. Will they act to prevent dire events or will the dire events overwhelm the markets. My sense is that the dire events will overwhelm the markets. This event could 'break the camel's back' (so to speak). Another event which I watch daily is this war over in the Ukraine. This war will play out over time but it looks like some major escalation is likely soon. No compromise is happening!

The U.S. and NATO are not backing off from sending Ukraine more money and weapons. The article in the Wall Street Journal today expressed the need to continue to fund Ukraine so they can WIN this war with Russia. The article was by Boris Johnson who was the prior Prime Minister of Great Britain. He expressed the need to continue to fund and weaponize Ukraine until they WIN this war with Russia. I find this advice shockingly regressive. If the WEST continues this mindset, I would then expect a major escalation by Russia to counter this philosophy. This escalation could 'break the camel's back'!

Russia has added territory which they think is needed so as protect their security interests. Would Russia abandon this territory so that Mr. Zelenskyy can reclaim this territory for Ukraine? I don't view this as possible (as long as Putin rules over Russia). Putin thinks Russia's security interest must prevail and the added territory can not be returned. Crimea is key to the survival of Russia (militarily). The bigger issue (behind all this) is the Worldview of the WEST (this idea of a Uni-polar world system). 

Russia, China, Iran, Brazil, India, and now Saudi Arabia do not like the WEST'S philosophy and the control (domination) which the USA has over the world system. This philosophy is the major problem for Putin, Xi, and a host of other politicians. These rulers want a Multi-polar world system. Biden and the WEST want a Uni-polar world system. Who controls the SYSTEM controls the world. Russia is well aware of this! This philosophical issue is KEY to all political decision-making!

The coming Digital Currency System, which our Central Banks are promoting, is the third area which could 'break the camel's back'. Money rules over nations and if our Central Banks eliminate all paper/coin money and go to a Global Digital System (a cashless system) then this event could change the THINKING of the masses. This change would bring us the Mark of the Beast financial system and many will not want to participate in this system if it is mandated. Force will be applied so that everyone will comply with this change. I expect this 'digital' world of finance to be a major event for all voting citizens. 

This Mark of the Beast financial system (all cashless and digital) could create the final 'straw'...which breaks the back of our world Camel. So to conclude, there are three categories which I will watch going into 2023. The crash of our stock markets, the escalation of war over in the Ukraine, and the Central Bank's digital currency shenanigans. Any or all of these categories/events could BREAK the camel's back. The 'party' would then be 'over'! Listen to Willie Nelson as he sings the melody for our times!

Have a great day and watch the above events as each/all could happen in 2023. The harbingers are here now and it is unlikely that they will go away. I am: Donald B. Swenson, Economist/Philosopher, donaldswenson.blogspot.com. Also, http://kingdomecon.wordpress.com. 

Election 'Integrity' is no longer possible given changes! Let's talk!

In prior history elections were held (mostly) on ONE day...called election day. This meant that voters showed up at the polls (in person) and voted on this ONE day. As of 2016, 2020, and 2022 this policy has changed completely. Today, more votes are cast prior to the election then on election day. The example in my Wall Street Journal today is evidence of this change. See today's WSJ for the article.

The run-off election in Georgia resulted in more absentee ballots (being cast) then election day ballots. Some 60+% of votes were cast by early mail-in, via drop boxes, and via vote harvesting by special agents. The results favored the Democrats hugely (it appears). Some 64% of votes cast via absentee went to Warnock (Democrat). Herschel Walker had more votes counted on election day (some 57%...but lost out to Warnock overall due to absentee ballots). Early voting produced benefits for the Democrats (so it seems)!

Election integrity is now lost IMO as votes can be 'harvested' (and counted) by special agents to pad the ballots for select candidates. I watched this event happen in 2020 and now with the run-off election in Georgia this past Tuesday. Who knows what shenanigans resulted due to this new election process. I have no 'idea' who is collecting and counting all these ballots which arrive in bundles from sources unknown to the voters. 

The system is RIPE for fraud and abuse. Our official media wants me to believe that ALL is kosher and above board. I do not buy this! I watched many videos during the 2020 election which produced hundreds of affidavits from various voters who questioned the poll venues and the personnel who did the counting. Our legal system ignored all this and gave the media the mantra that ALL is kosher and valid. I can not buy into this mantra!

I watched many of the poll venues which restricted watchers/observers during the 2020 election event. Hundreds of watchers/observers stated that they were restricted from observing the counting and the ballot tabulations. Today, we have computers which can count and send 'numbers' (votes) to another computer. Are all these computers being observed/watched/visited by independent observes/officials? My sense is NO! Hackers can get access to the process!

Today, I have zero 'confidence' (in the SYSTEM) and this is obvious to many. In fact, all elections on our planet are now less than fully valid IMO. Computers, ballot harvesting, absentee voting, drop boxes, and mail-in ballots all produce problems which the voter can not fully comprehend. The old system of voting on ONE day and where the COUNTING of votes happens (instantaneously) is not happening. How can voter 'integrity' happen in this environment?

We have the technology today to VOTE instantaneously with the counting of votes also happening instantaneously.  The SMART PHONE is this technology. I could vote in minutes on my SMART PHONE (with integrity assured) and you could do likewise. The voting procedure could be done in ONE day for everyone. There is no need for absentee ballots, mail-in ballots, drop boxes, harvesting of votes, or early voting. All could be DONE instantaneously and all could be COUNTED instantaneously. 

Today's system gives me no CONFIDENCE that voter fraud, deception, and corruption is absent. Personally, the 81 million votes for Biden (in 2020) is a JOKE. Did he earn this total? He received some 15 million more votes than Hillary in 2016. His vote total was a historical RECORD (even as he campaigned from his basement/mostly). I have ZERO confidence that BIDEN earned his position as our PRESIDENT. My sense is that huge fraud, deception, and corruption OCCURRED in the 2020 election.

Voters in Brazil seem to think similar for their election. We know that all elections today are LESS than creditable. Counting of votes (electronically) by our computers could be part of the PROBLEM. In Arizona we have many voters who sense corruption in the ballot counting process. Poll counters can not print a ballot properly, tabulate properly, scan properly, and/or count ballots properly. All happens behind closed doors (and how do I know that 'integrity' is present)? My sense is that it ISN'T.

We need a NEW voting system which utilizes our new technologies so that 'integrity' can be restored. We have the technologies to vote instantaneously and to count the votes instantaneously (with integrity). Isn't it time to develop a NEW SYSTEM which gives me/you CONFIDENCE. Which gives me/you a sense of INTEGRITY that the votes are VALID? The elections of 2016, 2020, and 2022 leaves me wondering and confused. Think for yourself on all these issues. Have a great day!

Will Yahweh God intervene to eliminate CLIMATE issues? COP27 seems to think so! My view!

 

The 27th annual meeting of elites (on Climate Issues) was held over in Egypt from November 8 - 18. This event is called COP27 and President Biden attended (even as no real media from the U.S. attended). I witnessed no coverage of this event on my media sources here in Arizona. Biden and some 125 nations were in attendance and many religious leaders where there to visit Mount Sinai, where Moses received the 10 Commandments, from Yahweh God!

People went to the TOP of Mount Sinai and prayed to Yahweh God for intervention on behalf of the world system. Will Yahweh God respond? My sense is that he is responding as I write. Yahweh God knows precisely what is happening on this planet which HE created. But his approval of these elites who desire to create a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT is not what I perceive as valid (theologically).

Climate Change is the mantra of the United Nations and other global elites who desire to create their personal anti-God governmental system. COP27 is another attempt to marshal forces so that everyone (except the elites) will be enslaved to a SYSTEM which controls everyone (eliminating freedom for the individual). This is my perception of COP27 and Agenda 2030. Both lead to global Communism for the world. I can not support this philosophy which our un-elected elites desire for planet earth.

The goal of COP27 and similar agenda's is CONTROL over the resources on our planet for the purposes of enslaving the many. This philosophy produces a UNI-POLAR world of elites who run the planet. Asking Yahweh God to intervene so this system gets implemented is not my view of PROGRESS. I would view all this as an anti-God system which enslaves the many (you and I). I see this as a demonic outcome!

Yes, we do have TWO forces ruling over this planet. Both are 'invisible' and one is demonic and the other is angelic. Going up to Mount Sinai and praying for intervention is good if FREEDOM prevails for the many. But if this produces enslavement of the many, then I see this as demonic. Think for yourself. Listen to various viewpoints on what is now happening within our controlled political system. You may discover that what is happening is LESS than angelic. That is my point-of-view. Think for yourself!

Alex Newman enunciates sound thinking on most issues. Listen!

Global Economic Policies...A JOKE! Let's Review!

The WEST has implemented a PRICE CAP on oil/barrel which they think will sanction Russia and reduce revenue for Russia's war with Ukraine. The $60 price cap is a complete joke IMO as the free market will destroy this idea (as it has done previously many times). Nixon tried price controls, Ford also tried to control inflation with his 'whip inflation now' strategy. These policies were destroyed by our markets and I predict the SAME will happen with this $60/barrel price cap.

What is likely to happen is that prices will INCREASE over time as a result of this foolish strategy. Russia says they will ignore the CAP and sell to those who honor the market price. I think this will happen. It is possible that prices could decline over time if our economy crashes. But if this does not happen then I would expect oil prices to INCREASE over time (given this foolish policy).

We now live with many foolish economic policies which can not work in the longer run. The BIG change occurred in 2008 with the change to electronic money (also called computer/digital/virtual money). This change from prior economic history has allowed computers to manipulate all of our markets. I watch the algo's manipulating prices daily on my Smart Phone. You are probably doing similar. We will soon have a CASHLESS world and VIRTUAL currencies (globally). Our elites desire this event (so it seems)!

I find these 'virtual' currencies creating a corrupt system as it allows our Central Banks to rig the markets via their 'control computer' system. The High Frequency Computers at the FED can over-ride all the trading done by retail traders (with their computers). It's a corrupt system and it now appears that our Central Banks will RULE over all economic decisions going forward. 

A few elites (behind closed doors) will run the financial system. Our private free market system is now (mostly) done. Socialism and Communism is the trend in economics. Biden is promoting Socialism. The WEST wants more central control. This mindset leads to Socialism and eventually Communism. History is my teacher on this issue. Does China provide us with evidence on this issue? I think so! Xi wants total control. This is the mindset which evolves when central planning is implemented.

The American financial house of cards is BEYOND salvation IMO. Our debt can never be repaid. Our politicians continue to spend money with no regard for our children's future. At some point this system must BREAK and crash. It's merely a matter to a few days/weeks/months. Manipulation by these elites will eventually be over-ruled by the markets. Computers at the FED can not win forever. A day of reckoning must happen at some point. When? My sense is in 2023.

Virtual money and computer manipulations will eventually be rejected by the markets. As prices get more distorted traders will reject the system. I see this happening to some extent already. The FTX trading scandal is one example. Later in 2023 we could witness a housing crisis. These higher interest rates are taking a toll on prices for real estate. This will eventually bring us a HOUSING CRISIS (similar to 2008). Probably in 2023. My area is already slowing down and some prices are declining!

Electronic trading was the BIG change which produced today's economic distortions. The change to computers as trading tools for price discovery was the BIG change. The private OPEN OUTCRY trading system was eliminated and this allows computers to RULE over all our markets. Today, the 'control computers' at our Central Banks RULE over all our markets. Free market price discovery is now OVER! This PRICE CAP policy of the WEST on Russian oil is another example of what has evolved since 2008.

I fully expect MORE foolish economic policies going forward. The Mark of the Beast financial system is soon coming. Personally, I will reject this system when it fully arrives. The 'harbingers' of this corrupt system are here now but the FULL kahuna is still on the horizon. It may be time to think of BARTER as a viable trading system. I also think that buying some gold/silver coins is a wise policy. At least these coins are physical (not virtual units of nothing). Think for yourself, however. The above is my point-of-view!

Brief Overview of a Timeline since Adam (assumptions are mine)! Very interesting information!

This video gives one scenario of events (uncertain data)!

A good estimate of man's history on this planet can be ascertained via population studies and key markers which archeology has provided us. Keep in mind that these are my assumptions as of today and my goal is merely to give us a GENERAL timeline (overview) of events since Yahweh created Adam (our first parent). This timeline will change as new knowledge develops. But I find all this very interesting to use as core data:

1. Adam - was created (say) 4,000 B.C. (assuming Gregorian calendar).

2. Noah - experienced the global flood around 2,400 B.C.

3. Nimrod - built the Tower of Babel around 2,200 B.C.

4. Abraham - called by Yahweh God around 1,800 B.C.

5. Moses - called by Yahweh God to bring Israelites into Promised land around 1,400 B.C.

6. David - King David ruled for 40 years, then his son, Solomon, built the first Temple around 1,000 B.C.

7. Daniel - this prophet lived and prophesied from around 600 B.C. The 2nd Temple built around 500 B.C.

8. Yeshua - was born and lived on our planet from around 1 A.D. (all dates are rounded and approximated).

9. Paul of Tarsus - this evangelist started and then finished his missionary journey around 62 A.D. 2nd Temple destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D.

9. John of Revelation - this evangelist lived and wrote his vision (Patmos) from around 100 A.D.

10. King Constantine - ruled and helped to initiate Christianity from around 325 A.D.

11. King George III of England - started his rebellion which led to America around 1776 A.D.

12. Donald (me) - I was born in 1943 and continue to live as of 2022 A.D.

Now let's do a general overview of world population since the creation of Adam (assumptions are mine):

1. Adam - population data starts at creation with 1.

2. Noah (before flood) - population had increased to 1 billion +- (no solid data is possible).

3. Noah (after flood) - population re-starts with 8. Noah (wife), 3 sons, 3 wives. 

4. Nimrod - population had increased to millions by 2,200 B.C. (no firm documentation available).

5. Yeshua (1 A.D.) - population is estimated to be around 200 million (globally).

6. Martin Luther (1500 A.D.) - population had increased to around 500 million (globally).

7. Thomas Jefferson (1800 A.D.) - population had increased to 1 billion (globally).

8. Franklin D. Roosevelt (1935) - population had increased to 2 billion (globally).

9. Ronald Reagan (1989) - population had increased to 5 billion (globally).

10. Joe Biden (2022) - population has increased to 8 billion (globally).

Let's summarize our timeline of population growth since the Great Flood:

1. We start with 8 (say 2,400 B.C.)

2. At time of Yeshua (say 1 A.D.) we can document some 200,000,000.

3. At time of Luther (say 1500 A.D.) we can document some 500,000,000.

4. At time of Jefferson (say 1800 A.D.) we can document some 1,000,000,000.

5. At time of my birth (1943) we can document some 2,400,000,000.

6. At time of Reagan (say 1989 A.D.) we can document some 5,000,000,000.

7. At time of Biden (say 2022 A.D.) we can document some 8,000,000,000. 

Conclusions:

Keep in mind that the population timeline does indicate a time period for human evolution of some 6,000 years (give or take). This does not mean, however, that our planet and the outer universe is similar. It is possible that our physical universe could have been created by Yahweh God much prior to creation of Adam (our first person). It is also possible that both happened around the same time period. And it is also possible that the physical universe has existed forever. From God's point-of-view there is NO TIME (all is timeless)!

Keep in mind that this concept called TIME (is imaginary). Time is a human invention and this means 'time' does not technically EXIST (as an 'independent' thing). Time is merely man's invention to give order to events which happen during our evolution. My sense is that TIME was invented as people experienced their agriculture events. Seasons were experienced and this allowed for the invention of TIME. It reality, there is NO real time. We all live in the NOW (continually/always).

My message is that human evolution is only some 6,000 years (give or take). All started anew after the Great Flood and our population grew over time to our current number of 8 billion. Imagine that 8 people (after the Flood) produced ALL the current 8 billion. Amazing. Prior to the Great Flood the information (data) is very uncertain. From Adam to Noah could have produced millions or possibly more that a billion (no one knows except Yahweh God). All is amazing. Man is now at the END point of his rule. This seems certain (to me)!

History is based upon ASSUMPTIONS. Pundits will differ as human ASSUMPTIONS vary from expert to expert. My viewpoint is based on the idea that Yahweh God created our first parents. Then population increased over time. Today, we all live on the same planet which Adam, Noah, Moses, David, Yeshua lived. The planet provides evidence as the ROCKS do not disappear. Archeology is giving us evidence of all the above events (the Great Flood, Nimrod's Tower of Babel, David's Temple, King Solomon, and Yeshua's ordeal in Jerusalem. Evidence is pointing to the scenario above (as being real)!

It's all amazing and beyond anyone's KNOWING totally, however. All I can do is present my viewpoint and my logic. You may differ and this is logical. NO ONE knows the details fully. We all operate with ASSUMPTIONS. My timeline is meant to provoke your thinking and help you discern reality better. Enjoy! Have a great day! I am: donaldswenson.blogspot.com.

A CORE concept which NONE can refute! It's as close to TRUTH as we get!

 

The one concept which I must live with continually (always) is the NOW moment. I live in the NOW moment continually (always). I can not escape from the NOW (my real-time consciousness) and this means that the Core concept for all reality is this idea called the NOW! You also can not escape from this core concept! Try it! I think it is impossible. What does this MEAN when we talk philosophy?

For me, this means that there is NO 'separate' PAST (which I experience). What I call 'the PAST' is really a NOW memory. There is no 'separate' past that I experience (is my view). This idea of a PAST is a myth which our Evolutionary pundits espouse (falsely). The PAST is always (continually) experienced as a NOW memory. I/You seek images from our PAST (but these images are experienced in the NOW). The same goes for my/your FUTURE. We can not escape the NOW moment!

There is NO 'separate' future event (ever). I never can experience a 'separate' future (independent from my NOW memory). What happens is that I experience a NOW expectation of an uncertain mental scenario. This expectation is pure imagination (a NOW event). There is NO 'separate' future that I or You experience (ever). We all experience reality as a NOW event (within our mind/consciousness). It's always NOW, NOW, NOW, NOW, NOW! Forever!

What does this mean for my/your life here on planet earth? For me, this means that reality needs to be viewed and accepted as a NOW experience. What happens in the NOW is what is real and meaningful. All these 'imaginary' visions of a 'separate' PAST or a 'separate' FUTURE are illusions (not reality). Think of this idea that my body emerged from some past mixture of chemicals. This is often called the Theory of Evolution. This theory is based mostly on the idea that the PAST is real (separate).

Pundits will espouse that I emerged gradually from some mixture of chemicals and then I became conscious and started walking/talking on this planet. How can this scenario of some distant PAST have meaning in the NOW? I never experience any of this Evolutionary theory (in the NOW)! How can millions/billions of years in the PAST have meaning for me/you when we all live in the NOW continually (always)? Where is this PAST? It's pure myth and illusion. 

The PAST is merely my set of memories within the NOW moment. My memories are part of my consciousness/mind! I can imagine nearly anything but I must live my life in the NOW (always). What I witness within most education is a promotion of my PAST as real and separate. I am asked to accept the PAST as real (more than a memory). I say this is illusionary/mythical. It's not good science or good philosophy.

The entire attempt by our educational pundits to espouse some real PAST (that occurred) must be re-envisioned within the NOW. Within the NOW, I do not experience any 'separate' PAST (or FUTURE). I experience my life as a continuing emergence of NOW events. I then use my MEMORY (in the NOW) to recall what I experienced. My recall is always/continually a NOW event/experience. I never leave the NOW as I think! I am unable to leave the NOW since my consciousness is part of my NOW.

Memories and expectations are always changing as I must recall these images in the NOW. My recall may change as I use my memory to access these prior moments of NOW. Memories are never perfect! I assume that my recall of a prior event is accurate/perfect but I can never be absolutely CERTAIN. The current NOW memory/event becomes my reality. I think we all need to recognize that our NOW thinking is core to our assumptions about REALITY.

For example: Can I walk on water right NOW (say the Atlantic Ocean)? Can you walk on water right NOW? I don't think we can. It's not possible for a body of flesh/blood to walk on water in real-time NOW. Yes, we can walk on water in our 'subjective imagination'...but not in real-time (NOW). If this is reality, should we ascribe this 'ability' of walking on water to another human being from the PAST? Should we say that Jesus walked on water (the Sea of Galilee)? I think this is illusionary thinking (given the above).

Feeding 5,000 real people with five loaves of bread and two fish also can not be viewed as reality. Who can do this in the NOW? I would suggest no one. It's impossible in the NOW to feed some 5,000 real people with five loaves of bread and two fish (and then have leftovers). So was this pure 'imagination' based on illusion by the writer? I think so! The reality of NOW (if valid) applies to all historical time periods. There can be no exceptions!

My sense is that we all need to rethink our assumptions about reality as we SPIN our truth to others. The reality of NOW is real and present. It is a CORE concept of truth which I find mostly absolute. I live by this truth and I assume that you do also. The concept of NOW is what we need to use when we think about reality on this planet. I find that the NOW is real and valid for everyone! Can you escape this core concept? Try it! Have a good day and pass this idea on to your associates.

Was it the writers 'subjective imagination' which produced this event called Jesus walking on water? What is your perception?

Did Father God produce this miracle? Or was this event reconstructed (within the writers 'subjective imagination') to imply that reality can be dismissed? What is your perception?
