Better Late Than Never

I've had a crazy week, but here I am to analyze the next portion of the first directive. So we're eight days into the attack, and tomorrow comes the attack on Washington so let's keep up the counter offensive. On the last blog I highlighted the first part of the directive from days 1-12. It is as follows:
“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” -John 14:27
Yahweh, bring Your peace-that-remains to our land. Dismiss division and call forth unity in our land around Your truth. We call forward a Third Great Awakening to relationship with You.


The next sections states:
Holy Spirit, come and teach our children, our parents, our people of all ages–native born and immigrants. Unlock minds that have been so filled with darkness and deceit the light cannot come in. Do Your will in Earth as it is in Heaven. Release light to renew, transform and reeducate the minds and hearts of this nation.
So at the start of this section we see that they are asking the Holy Spirit, the third component of the Christian Trinity, to come and teach us something that apparently we are not aware of. The scary thing is that they believe that they can teach our children something that we are unable or do not want to teach them. Imagine, for a moment, a government that adopts one religion against all others, and they keep a watch on us to make sure that we do not teach our children "the wrong things." They basically want us to be lemmings just following someone else's life.


Next, they call everything but their beliefs "darkness and deceit." According to these individuals we are so overcome with this darkness that we cannot see the light of the "real truth." Living the life of a Christian for most of my life I can honestly tell you that Christianity to me is a darkness that is hard to escape from. I have been doing some life work, and I truly believe that the strict Christian life is the cause of my emotional eating and therefore, the cause of my current situation with weight. I was taught from infancy that I was bad and sinful. I lived a life of shame trying to suppress my body's natural functions.


I have only told a handful of people this story, but I feel comfortable sharing it with you because I love and trust you. I was blessed with my menstral cycle when I was ten years old. My mother, who in so many ways was a wonderful woman, did not tell me or warn me about what was coming as a natural, beautiful, and powerful part of being a woman. I have always been a sexual person, and although I did not know what it was at the time I began masturbating at a very young age. Now, of course, I know that this is a natural desire, but as a young girl I felt dirty and sinful. As a result, when my period started I thought that it was a punishment from God for pleasing myself. I can't tell you how long I lived with this until my mom finally realized that my period had started, but I know it was at least a year. Even after this beautiful part of being a woman continued to be a punishment for sin. I truly didn't even know what was happening, but as it would come every month I would feel such deep, dark guilt it's hard to even describe. My reason for revealing this part of myself is to show that because a body's natural functions were not a part of conversation in my strict, conservative, Christian household. To me, this is an example of a darkness that I am working hard to escape from every day. So to accuse us of being under some dark, deceitful "spell" that we need rescued from angers me.


So to close out this section it states: Do Your will in Earth as it is in Heaven. Release light to renew, transform and reeducate the minds and hearts of this nation. 
I do not have issue with "Do Your will in Earth as it is in Heaven" because I translate this to be "As above, So Below." The next part, however, is just another way of saying that we are brainwashed by our dark ways, and we need to be reeducated to the "right" way. Please don't misunderstand me, I believe in God as part of the All, and I believe in asking Spirit for strength, wisdom, guidance, and so forth. However, I have gained freedom from a religion who taught a girl to be so ashamed of her body that God would punish her for fulfilling natural desires. This patriarchal, Christian God I do not want anything to do with. So as they continue attacking our country day to day reciting this "prayer" I, along with thousands, perhaps millions, of others will fight tooth and nail against the possibility of coming under the rule of this religion and their God.

DC 40 Directives Get Ready for Day One

Ok so many of you that read my blog are aware of the DC40, but I want to give a brief introduction. A group of radical Christians have initiated direct spiritual warfare on every religion in our country other than their own. Most Judeo-Christians, or at least the ones I know, believe that they have the only way, and the rest of us are headed straight to hell. So they have devised a plan to have prayer groups all over the country make a stand to take away the freedom of religion in America. (Just a side thought, little do they know that if perchance the government ever ordered a one country religion it would look nothing like theirs it would be completely financially and politically driven. Anyway!) Each day for 51 days starting tomorrow they are ATTACKING one state at a time for the goal of turning everyone into religious drones like they are.
I am a very new witch, and I can't really fight against this the way my experienced Elders in the craft can. However, I found the prayers, which they are calling "Directives" that they will be using each day so I would like to highlight a portion of it each day. This way we know exactly what we are fighting against. They start their barrage tomorrow starting with Hawaii. It is absolutely ingenious of my Elders to begin focusing our energy and intent the day before for each state so that we have a head start on protecting against the arrows dripping with "the blood" that the DC 40 group will be launching.
There are three "Directives" each one to be prayed throughout each day. We will start by examining the one for Day's 1-12.  
It begins with a Bible verse:

“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” -John 14:27
"Yahweh, bring Your peace-that-remains to our land. Dismiss division and call forth unity in our land around Your truth. We call forward a Third Great Awakening to relationship with You."
We'll stop there for today. I want you, as well as me, to really think about what they're saying here. I know when I was completely closed off from all other truths and realities this would have sounded wonderful, sincere, and holy. However, let's take a closer look. First they begin with a Bible verse so they can say, "Don't worry God is blessing us with peace. We can continue forward because we have the only truth do not fear." So basically they believe that God has sanctioned them to try to change the lives of everyone in the country without any regard to the beliefs of others.
So next we have, "Yahweh bring Your peace-that-remains to our land." So obviously they begin with their belief that their god is the only one that can bring everlasting peace.
Next we have,  "Dismiss division and call forth unity in our land around Your truth. We call forward a Third Great Awakening to relationship with You." So you and I who do not believe as these radical Christians believe are seeking only division, and they want us to just abandon our beliefs for theirs. Because as you know, Protestants are the only ones that have the REAL truth.
So, they're after a Third Great Awakening let's look at the first two.
The First Great Awakening was a spiritual awakening of the people in the American Colonies particularly in New England in the first half of the 18th century. The purpose of this Awakening was to pull away from the Puritanism of the time, and have more of an intimate relationship with God.
Through the Glorious Revolution in 1688 people began to realize that they had every right to distance themselves from the Church of England, which was the one church religion that oppressed the people. So truthfully the First Great Awakening was a pulling away from the "One religion," and choosing to follow one's free will. So the Awakening did not really have a unifying effect, but rather the belief that they did not have to live someone else's religion. The Glorious Revolution and the Great Awakening opened the doors for the separation of church and state. This separation is now being attacked by close minded radical Christians.
The Second Great Awakening in the early 19th century actually was a great thing for society, but not in the way that the DC40 folks are trying to portray. The oppression of the poor, women, and African Americans was the perfect storm for the Second Great Awakening. They told these people that they did not have to live and adhere to society's beliefs. Those preaching this Awakening told them that they had free will to change their lives. This opened the door to women's suffrage and black freedom so it actually ended up being a catalyst for great things.
What I want to emphasize though is that both of these Awakenings were focusing on distancing and basically rebelling against the rule of the church. Through these Awakenings the door was open for people to have religious freedom. They were NOT focused on brainwashing others to one belief as the DC40 folks are wanting to do. These radical people feel that they have the only truth, and that they have the answer for America. As we all know a unified religion is not the answer. We are all unique and Spirit comes to us in different ways including through Christianity. However, one religion should not promote itself at the expense of others.

Ok, I've babbled enough. :) Tomorrow we will take a look at the next part of the first "Directive." I would be so extremely excited to hear your thoughts on the first lines of this prayer. Please tell me what you think. :) See you tomorrow. :):)
