how far is heaven, part 1




We are wondering too, how far is heaven. We wonder that a lot. This post will be the first of a series attempting to take a stab at an overarching theory about how things seem to be shaking out and what we might actually be able to do about them. We acknowledge the invaluable help of James and A13 in developing and organizing this theory. We don't know how many posts it will take to lay it out, but this is the first, an introduction.

The following reflects, roughly, our understanding of truth, based on our sustained effort to apprehend it. Your version may vary a little or a lot. People can arrive at similar conclusions via different paths.

^^^^^^^

We believe that we are spiritual beings having a physical experience. We believe in God, the God of all creation, who created this planet, and everything on it. In fact we are inside God, and by extension, God is inside us. For this reason, it is impossible that evil will prevail. Evil can not prevail over the creator God who animates everyone and everything, 24x7. Evil can destroy many things if we let it, but it cannot destroy God. Nor will God allow evil to destroy his creation. So we have hope.



We can help or not. Evil must work through human hands. When we deny evil our help, evil is helpless to harm us, especially when we work together. God also works through human hands, not for his benefit, but for ours. We ought make ourselves available to do his work, together, instead of offering ourselves to evil. We need to nurture discernment in order to understand what we are doing, what we should stop doing, and what we should start doing. The resistance begins in the mind, in our ability to discern truth, and to act accordingly, to follow through with our will.


There is such a thing as the truth. When we find something and we think it’s true, and we later find out we were wrong, we let it go. There is no shame in this process, but it can hurt very much. We are human. We make mistakes. We learn. We survive. We choose to persevere to the end because we want something better for ourselves and our progeny.


The responsibility is on us to choose to love the truth, to seek out reality. We were created with free will. We don’t have to seek the truth if we don't want to. It is our choice. God honors our choice either way. If we are serious about solving the problems facing us, we will eventually recognize that we have to learn the truth about what is happening, and that means we have to face our own responsibility for lending our hands to evil, whether we realized it or not at the time. Evil stops when we stop letting it use us.

We believe that Jesus Christ is who he said he was, God. If he was wrong then he was either deluded which makes him mentally unstable, or he was lying which, given the importance of this, means he was evil. Those conclusions don't follow. We accept that he is God and conclude that it would be wise to accept his advice. Jesus came here to teach people the way to be. Religions have convoluted his teachings much, but he was very straightforward and said all the commands come down to this: Love God with all your heart and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself.

You can believe whatever you want. We all can. That is the whole point -- that you can choose to love the truth or not, you can choose to believe whatever you want. No one can stop you. Nor will God stop you, because he honors your free will. Yet it is our experience that she who seeks shall find, and the pursuit of truth is worthy. You can much more easily seek lies, which are plentiful and easy to find at every turn. The effort comes in seeking truth, not lies.

Know the consequences of your choices. Do not claim ignorance; it will not save you from the consequences. If you give yourself over to lies, to liars, to what is easy, you will not avoid pain. You may only defer it for a time while the consequences multiply. Addicts seek short term relief, gratification and comfort too. Only later do they and their loved ones pay the exorbitant costs for getting lost in illusions. We are all paying the exorbitant price for many people's choices. Our children are paying. So we are in this together, like it or not.



Liars have been with man from the beginning. Liars hate the truth. They have always wanted what their father, the devil, wants: to replace God in our lives with themselves, and to prove that they have replaced God to us and to themselves. Like narcissists, they need to see their reflection in others in order to feel real. Otherwise they are shadows. They gain entre into our minds through fear.

Liars are trying to destroy us and everything God gave us. But God gave us intellects and intuitions and freewill. With them we can determine the truth and we can choose reality. God will help us in those things that we are not equipped for, providing we want to overcome. Providing we want to choose good for ourselves and our families. Providing we have the will.

In ancient times the evil had alchemist helpers who pursued power rather than truth. They practiced magic, rituals. Some of these practices made it into religions. Religions provide organization for the purpose of bringing many people into the rituals. Religions are about controlling people spiritually. Today religions have less power to control people, but the alchemists are now scientists, and many people worship science and technology that has advanced beyond the limits of our imaginations. Much technology seems like magic. With black budgets and suppressed technologies, an artificial gap has been created, and this gap keeps humanity repressed. The truth about science, technology, and medicine, has been discovered and kept secret by evil people because it gives them a supreme advantage and allows them to control the rest of  humanity with various schemes.

Lies about science form the basis for many other lies. In many ways, we are least equipped to deal with lies about science, technology and medicine. These fields require highly specialized knowledge that forms an impervious barrier which easily deflects criticism. Experts are worshiped, not questioned. For instance, we are told oil is scarce. For over half a century Russian and Ukranian scientists have known that oil is plentiful, abiotic, formed deep in the earth.

It appears that, unbeknownst to Westerners, there have actually been, for quite some time now, two competing theories concerning the origins of petroleum. One theory claims that oil is an organic 'fossil fuel' deposited in finite quantities near the planet's surface. The other theory claims that oil is continuously generated by natural processes in the Earth's magma. One theory is backed by a massive body of research representing fifty years of intense scientific inquiry. The other theory is an unproven relic of the eighteenth century. One theory anticipates deep oil reserves, refillable oil fields, migratory oil systems, deep sources of generation, and the spontaneous venting of gas and oil. The other theory has a difficult time explaining any such documented phenomena.

So which theory have we in the West, in our infinite wisdom, chosen to embrace? Why, the fundamentally absurd 'Fossil Fuel' theory, of course -- the same theory that the 'Peak Oil' doomsday warnings are based on. [More by Dave McGowan.]


This is just one example. Consider the suffering and death that has resulted from this ONE lie about oil. Consider the profits made on this ONE lie. Consider how much control hinges on this ONE lie. Consider the mountain of smaller lies that rest on this ONE BIG lie. Let’s now consider another BIG LIE: global warming. Another very comprehensive lie. Consider the scale of that one, the control mechanisms put in place to solve the “problem” of global warming. Consider the money made on this lie. Consider how many scientists collaborated on this lie, and for how long. Consider weather modification. More lies. More hiding of the truth about technology, about what is possible. The military has been studying weather modification technology for probably a century. Presumably they know how to harness the energy in the earth’s atmosphere and in the earth’s crust. Consider all the suffering and death caused by storms, droughts, floods, earthquakes; and that these events are always, without exception, blamed on Mother Nature and Acts of God, and weather modification is never acknowledged, even though the military has released plenty of information about their weather modification goals. Even though you can watch your own local weather forecast and see bizarre circles and other phenomenon on the radar that people will pretend not to see.


Scarcity is a lie. All the conflicts over energy and resources are based on lies. The earth provides more than enough resources to sustain all the life on this planet. Life saving science has been suppressed to generate conflict and profit, and to control us. Secret technologies have abused humanity. The science gap was made to create the illusion that they are God, that they have replaced God in our lives. Humanity was held back to make this possible. Countless lives were sacrificed to make this possible. Do we reflect that back to them by worshiping their lies, or do we deny them the satisfaction by seeking the truth? Your choice.

Not enough people love the truth. Not enough people seek after the truth, want to know what is true, what is real, and desire this knowledge deeply, even if the truth is painful. When many more people love the truth enough to seek it, to learn it, to accept its reality no matter how painful it is initially, our problems will resolve themselves. To love the truth is to love. To seek the truth is to love. To love is to lend our hands to God and to deny them to evil. It is all very, very simple. Love the truth, look for it everywhere, and all will be well, eventually. Honor your own dignity enough to refuse to be lied to.

We could have heaven on earth. Instead we have hell on earth. We seem to be far from heaven. But we are not helpless. They have taken the battle to our minds *and* our bodies, and that is where we have to fight them. We fight them for sovereignty over our selves. We have said many times the resistance begins in your mind. We took our minds back, and we will take our bodies back too.

What do you choose?

AP ( James & A13 as well ) a very encouraging
article. I look forward to the ones to follow.

I once read the comment that if "the tribe" ran
heaven there'd be pictures of hell hanging on the
walls. Such is our world - well equipped to be
paradise but made corrupt to mock the creator.

Again thanks.

Peter said...

Heart warming optimism AP! Thank you and the others as well.
Way back in the 1970's, Dee Browwn's, "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" came out and it was most disturbing..the lies became so abundantly evident to an immature high schooler like me.
Nevertheless,my optimism made me carry on.
Today, with the food as weapon reality, I pondered on the so-called disappearance of the Buffalo(American Bison). We were told in school, reckless hunters killed the masses of Buffalo, ostensively, for the delicacy of thr tongue. More lies!!
They mass killed the Buff to take away an extremly nutritious source of protein from the plains Indians.This power house of protein enabled the plains Indians to fight back with supreme effectiveness.Thus, the scientists soldier, mass killed millions of Buffalo simply to take it away from the Plains indian.
Sorry for the digression, your Cheyenne warriors pic just sent me there.

haha Dave, GOOD one. :D

reminds me a bit of this saying i came across while doing the post, about heaven, the cooks being italian the police british etc. and hell having french mechanics and swedish lovers, etc. except yours is better.

so glad you liked the read. there's more to come. thanks Dave.

A. Peasant said...

not a digression at all Peter, not at all. you raise an excellent example, and it just goes to prove how long this deception has been in play, and the murderous intents behind it.

murderers from the beginning.

Bravo my friend.
Bravo.
The last picture really lifted my spirit :)

wah doh my dear friend. xo.

McJ said...

Thanks for the uplift AP (and James and A13). I actually had many of these thoughts churning around in my mind today. I must have been anticipating your excellent post.

"The science gap was made to create the illusion that they are God, that they have replaced God in our lives. Humanity was held back to make this possible. Do we reflect that back to them by worshiping their lies, or do we deny them the satisfaction by seeking the truth? Your choice."

This was a clincher for me and so true. Simple, to the point and something we can all choose to do. Makes me want to seek more truth! Although I will admit, some days I just really want to do the head in the sand thing. :)

Well done!

A. Peasant said...

hey McJ, very welcome, thanks for reading. i'm glad people are finding it uplifting. yes the science gap is really what this is going to be about once we get into the nuts and bolts. this really has been the major insight -- the extent to which the science lies are underpinning so much of what is passed off as truth. your latest work on the floods in the midwest being a good example. we've got a narrative house of cards between the flooding (role of weather mod?) and the nuclear plants deteriorating, and the whole thing ready to turn into a Class A disaster at a moment's notice, or at the next Act of God -- same thing! and the military is right there of course.

there's the gap. the scientists and engineers are so brilliant, but then somehow things always seem to go so tragically wrong, and no one can imagine it except for all the people who are watching it unfold in slow motion.

Excellent read. Thanks.

Looking forward to future installments.

many thanks.

Specialistaion [ scientific or otherwise] creates insects, it's a s simple as that. Unlike insects though the specialists seem rarely able to communicate with each other as their language is so specialized. Their 'sciences' tend to exclude other 'realities' and seems to tend towards clinical/laboratory conditions which are then foisted on the the non-clinical planet.

Quite an interesting read, blending science and religion is Buckminster-Fuller 2-volume SYNERGETICS [ free online]

james said...

Great piece and so well put, AP

Aferrismoon, was it George Bernard Shaw that said, "a 'specialist' is someone who knows more and more about less and less until he knows everything about nothing"

A. Peasant said...

thanks James.

ferris, you always have a unique perspective. i have never heard this about the insects, and you know, that is such a terrific visual. specialization creates freaks, eventually. idiot savants. true.

just scored the Fuller download, will check it out, thanks.

aferrismoon said...

I think a quantum physicist Dr. NIck Herbert coined the phrase : "Specialization is for Insects".

Notice many insects have hard exo-skeletons which I assume helps [ psychically] if u want to send people off to war.

David Cameron answering Army criticism of the Libya 'campain' :

' You do the fighting , I'll do the talling' - thick-skinned spineless f**k. Do insects have spines?

Thanks James, hadn't come across it but it speaks volumes.

A most interesting post. I am not sure that Jesus claimed to be identical with God. There are conflicting interpretations of Jesus's words.

6.7 quake in Japan - has the X37 been up to mischief in the heavens? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UruWtJM0nfU
AP I recall you having suspicions about the X37.

A. Peasant said...

freethinker, hola. yes of course i am very suspicious of the X37. what don't i have suspicions about. ?

so lemme get this straight, because this is what i heard in the video: it's not a secret EXCEPT for the part about how it fuels, which IS secret, and may possibly involve some regrettable unintended consequences associated with frequency manipulation, and the thing is possibly like Typhoid Mary in that it leaves a trail of devastating earthquakes in its flight path, so we should just keep an eye on it and point out to boeing the possibility that it is triggering these earthquakes. ?

A. Peasant said...

hello Aan. nice to see you. you raise an important point. and while we are not looking to open a theological debate, because certainly there are conflicting interpretations about Jesus' words and that's been going on for centuries and we are not going to put an end to it here. we reiterate the point in the post: people can believe whatever they want.

in any case, James was kind enough to dig up the chapter and verse and offer a quick "proof" to the claim that Jesus said he is God.

and here it is:

Many people, especially the Jews, then and now, naturally enough dispute Jesus being God and claiming that he was God. But it is clear in the Gospels that he did just that.

In John ch8, Jesus was teaching the people in the temple and he told them that their father was the devil. In answer to that damning charge, the people said, that Abraham was their father. They went on to say- (from the New King James Version ch 8 vs 52-58)

52 Then the Jews said to Him, ?Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death. 53 Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out to be?
54 Jesus answered, If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your[a] God.
55 Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, I do not know Him, I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.
57 Then the Jews said to Him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said to them, Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.
59 Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple,[b] going through the midst of them, and so passed by.


continued...

A. Peasant said...



The people picked up stones to stone him because they judged that he was blaspheming. I AM is the phrase or words they used to identify God given that they could not utter the name of God, YHVH, aka the Tetragramatron. They clearly understood he was saying he was God. And from the context, it is clear also that he was telling them he was God.

One reason for that is in Exodus 3:14, And God said to Moses, I AM WHO I AM. And He said, Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.?


The people knowing their own scriptures knew beyond doubt that Jesus was claiming to be God.

That is why they wanted him crucified. But the Jews could not condemn a man to death. That wsa the province of the Romans. In John 19:7 the people said to Pilate, the Roman Govenor,

"The Jews answered him, We have a law, and according to our[a] law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God.


At this point we go back to Jesus being who he said he was or not. The options are he was God: he is deluded; or he is a liar. One option often put forward that he was a wise man, a master, but still a man, is not possible. You cannot be wise and all the other good things and claim to be God when you are not. We are then back to the previous three options to choose from.

also see mathew 26:62-66

62 And the high priest arose and said to Him, Do You answer nothing What is it these men testify against You?
63 But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, I put You under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God!
64 Jesus said to him, It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.
65 Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His blasphemy!
66 What do you think??
They answered and said, He is deserving of death.

So, according to the Gospels, Jesus definitely claimed to be God and the Jews clearly understood this. People are free, of course, to believe the Gospels or not.


many thanks to James.

AP:

have you read the book
The sane society

I am reading it at this time, and have been for a while, I am going through it so slowly as I have to think over so many parts of it.

I read a bit and then think, think, think.

Today I was reading and the author was discussing how Freud's theories are used to "fit" man into a capitalistic system.

And It was like aha!!!
I realized how deep the manipulation goes.
I mean from Freud's theories, to Malthusian theories, to Darwinian theories..all used to "shape" man.

Not to let mankind shape himself, but to allow other forces to shape man....

It may not seem relevant, but, your post seemed so timely to what I was reading and thinking about today.
Well done :)

A. Peasant said...

hey Pen, no i have not heard of that book. it sounds good. i too am regularly stunned by the scope and depth of the manipulation, and look we've been in the weeds with this stuff for years. it really defies the imagination sometimes. it's a challenge to keep up with how fucked up it all is.

Mr. Bo, that is a very good "shorter" for this post, should such a thing ever be necessary.

Dave said...

Thanks to Kenny's website for this brilliant quote from poet Ezra Pound

"The Bolshevik anti-morale comes out of the Talmud, which is the dirtiest teaching that any race ever codified. The Talmud is the one and only be getter of the Bolshevik system. And if there ARE any Christians in the United State of America, they would do well to consider Renan’s warning. They would do well to consider the difference between the Greek and the Hebrew parts of the Bible.
They would do well to look objectively at the record of Hebrew barbarism, and at the nature of Christ’s revolt, as recorded in the Gospels.
I ask you WHY WAS CHRIST crucified? He was crucified for trying to BUST a racket." EZRA POUND

Whether Christ was a deity himself or an agent of a deity, a certain group of people thought him significant enough
to vilify Him in their Talmud. Why waste the time, ink and paper on a myth ?

The genius of His appearance is just as this "racket" is about to really go global - sound like Someone higher up
wanted to throw a monkey wrench in their machine. God :) - I sure hope so.

Questioning said...

Excellant post A. Peasant.
On Jesus, I agree with Les Vis` Avatar of God and there having been many such.






The Synagogue of Satan.....eventually the Truthseekers all have to face this bizarrity. What exactly is up with them? Is A. Austin of Subverted Nation right? Are they a cryptic, hybrid, normal-human mimicking species? All other Human Tribes are ultimately relatable. This one and it`s culturally and hybrid racially hidden and not so hidden genetic spin-offs are foreign to a VERY large degree. The confusion is very great. Especially when you have so much hidden history showing how much influence they`ve had at all junctions of Old World and for the past 500 (perhaps even longer?) years, Global affairs. There is something seriously off here. Sure, there are tons of non-Chosen psychopaths/sociopaths, but......Anyways, wonderful introductory article.

A. Peasant said...

Dave, we hope so too. :D

Questioning, good questions.

veritas6464 said...

Hey AP,...Lovely sentiments, it has always been about choices - the truth is life, the lie is death, the tribe of child-molesters live the lie of materialism and wealth of the temporal plane! The false light 'illuminates' the road to perdition.

And for the self-chosen tribe - John 8:47 "He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, for ye are not of God."

And for the faithful - 1 Corinthians 3:16 "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?"

flipdog said...

if God is all of us, then we are all of us God. though some of us prefer the notions of I that have been nurtured by other I's, and reject this.

In the eternal battle between God and the devil, the devil doesn't need to actually defeat God, he just needs to convince people that God doesn't exist.

A. Peasant said...

hey V, how are you mate? you pick two outstanding quotes. so true V. thank you. maranatha.

hi flipdog, excellent point about the devil. we see so much of that in what passes for culture -- the denial of God and the mockery of him. for example these pics of lady gaga wearing some obnoxious illuminati costume with one ass cheek hanging out, a black veil, and a big cross in her hair.

http://thejasminebrand.com/index.php/2011/05/24/lady-gaga-wears-a-sequins-cape-thingy-w-a-hair-cross/

we suppose she is not concerned at all about mocking Jesus, because he doesn't exist? is not God? because billions of Christians would not dare complain? because we have ingested the idea of tolerance and diversity? because she is so "talented"?

i would only restate your first sentence as "if God is *in* all of us, then we are all of us *in* God."

WhoAreThoseGuys said...

Do you remember that scene from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,
after they had been persistently and relentlessly pursued by a group of bounty hunters, Butch Cassidy said, "Who are those guys".

Such is the same determination by which these people (NWO, OWO, Illuminati etc) have pursued their goal, from generation to generation, with this amazing single-mindedness. This as caused me to ask the same question, "Who, on God's good earth, are these people?". There is a tendency to trivialise their objectives and 'achievements' to-date. I think it's time to sit-up and try and work out what the hell is actually going on here.

Rant over.

james said...

I remember that scene well, 'WhoAreThoseGuys'

it's an extremely important question you raise. The fact that they are generational (i.e.families) is a clue here, i think.

It is widely accepted that Dubya Bush, for instance (who comes from one of these families), was abused and terrorised as a kid. This terrorisation is to force the child into choosing evil or not. That wee georgie was known for blowing up frogs provides evidence that he chose evil at a young age.

That it happens in many families at this level points to an overarching organisation. One that pursues evil. Might we say, worships evil.

So yes, i believe it is made possible through (and is evidence for) satanic religions or cults to be active amongst these ruling families. These cults, the serious ones at least, seem to be connected. Which is what you would expect.

A couple of other things we should expect then is that this cult would target ANY organisation that can wield power of any sort and would seek to take it over at the CEO level.

Then it follows that after all the time that is indicated by these generations that they have succeeded in attaining control of most, if not all, power organisations, be they religions, corporations or governments, and that the leading figures in these organisations would be members of a satanic cult or under its control.

Sounds outrageous but it is simple logic given what we know of history and these people.
