A Dream: Chemtrails and the Need to Slow Down, Rather than
Panic or Rush
| I was given a dream last night. It involved looking up in the sky
and seeing a huge number of chemtrails.
There were several jets in obvious patterns of spraying. They
weren't even trying to hide the fact that they were doing it. You
could see where they made turns to trace back over the same region.
There were probably some 40 trails in all etched out in the sky. I
don't know that the specific location of the dream was meant to be
important, but it seems we were in Provo Utah. There were two
landmarks specific to that area, but there were also other landmarks that
could place the location just about anywhere. |
|
It was dusk, so the sun was striking the trails in such a way as to make
them stand out extremely bright. It was quite a sight.
I was going to run and get my camera to take a picture so I could show
it to others (e.g. on the Internet) by way of warning. My wife was
with me, and was trying to persuade me that this was not what needed to
be done. She didn't say it right out, but in the context it is
obvious that the most urgent thing to do right then was to take cover,
not to take pictures. She was holding on to my belt loop to keep
me from running to get my camera. I became annoyed because I
really wanted to get a shot of this, and I was starting to loose my
balance because she had hold of me. I finally knocked her with my
arm and I went sailing off at great speed. I looked back at her to
see the hurt in her face that (1) I was disregarding her well-founded
desire to take a different course of action, and (2) I had hit her,
something I had never done before, and (3) my hitting her had cause her
to go onto the a very busy road with many cars (University Boulevard
between Orem and Provo), endangering her life in an even more immediate
way than we were already under.
So here I was, sliding along on what was apparently an icy road (though
it wasn't cold outside). I squatted down into a skiing posture.
Then I came upon pavement, worried what might happen when I hit it going
at such great speed. But then to my amazement I just kept right on
going. Sliding along the pavement as if it were ice too. I
was quite an amusement to the people I passed. I even joked to one
group of people I passes saying, "It's the latest thing."
They watched me go by in amazement, wondering if perhaps I was no some
kind of invisible contraption.
I was so preoccupied with the very act of going miraculously fast, that
the purpose for which I was going fast became secondary. As I
began coming to a stop, I was no closer to my stated objective (getting
a camera) than when I started.
Then our baby woke me up from my dream. I said to my wife that I
was going to go turn the heat down. But I stayed in bed for a few
moments longer, thinking on the dream I was just having.
She thought I was gone, and she flopped her arm right on my chest --
hard. She apologized. I laughed to myself, as it was such an
amazing coincidence considering the dream I just had. (She was
getting me back.)
That, to me, was a second witness that the dream was intended as a
message to me, and wasn't just a silly dream. I shared the dream
with her when I returned.
The interpretation, as I see it, is that even though the situation at
hand is of utmost urgency, going fast in itself is not the answer.
Perhaps there is also a message in this that now is not the time for
warning, but of hunkering down.
To me, that does NOT mean NOT doing this Remnant Saints organization ( www.remnantsaints.com).
To the contrary, it makes the importance of this even higher, inasmuch
as the whole purpose of Remnant Saints is "for the survival of the
Lord's people," e.g. hunkering down (I do not mean to imply that I
think Remnant Saints is the cure-all solution, for it is only a part of
the solution). But the answer is not to rush things, but rather to
make sure they are done right
On one of the websites I administer, there is a cartoon depicting a man
sitting back plucking a banjo with a straw in his mouth, leaning on a
turtle. (It is at the bottom of a 911-Humor page
http://www.greaterthings.com/News/911/Tourist/)
The caption reads: "Five hundred years ago, the Hopi prophecies
foretold a time when 'the Eagle will fly high as the moon.' In
1969, newspaper headings stated 'The Eagle has landed.' 'Once the
Eagle lands,' the Hopi prophecy stated, 'that means it is time to slow
down. The world will be moving faster and faster, but it will be
an artificial acceleration . . . you must stay slow or you will be
lost.' Like many prophecies, they speak of a time soon coming, a
time of great catastrophe and confusion. 'Only the slow will
survive,' they say.
That, I feel, is the message of the dream I was given last night too.
These are times of great catastrophe and confusion. But rushing is
not the solution. Peace in the heart is replaced when panic or
rushing enters in. Peace in the heart is crucial for being able to
hear the still small voice of the Spirit of God.
I just finished helping a friend build a home. One of the friends
he had helping him is Native American. I was able to see this
attribute in him. He worked hard, but he did not rush. He
took his time.
Sincerely,
Sterling D. Allan

Down'
I
find that very interesting!
I think many of the Native Americans have these similar feelings.
I
know that when the Navajos feel out of kilter with the world they are forced
to slow down through any number of ceremonies (cleansing, healing etc....)
They truly believe that you must walk in beauty with the world. All things
are interconnected.
I
think you are performing an invaluable service. Maybe (and who am I to know)
that this dream means that we have time to get really ready vs. running
around and only being half ready... maybe it means we need to be prepared
for anything (hence you didn't have your camera when you needed it)???
Whatever- thanks for the insight.

Sterling,
Thank you for sharing your dream with us and its interpretation.
I awoke this morning with that very thought going through my head, as you
have mentioned: slow down.
I resolved to sort through the masses of papers I had stacked everywhere
around the house that I had copied off different internet sites, on
prepardness, the Tribulation, Mark of the Beast, etc.etc.
Talk about brain overload--I have enought reading material to last till the
end of the world and into the next!
After I saw how much reading material I had copied that I have not had time
to read, I decided to staple the different articles together and stack them
where it would be handy for me to grab something to read as I have spare
moments. And not copy off any more wonderful news that I just have to
know! After attending the And not go searching for any more juicy news on
the internet.
After driving for two hours to attend a meeting at Doc's last night, that was
suppose to be the meeting of all meetings that we just had to hear, and
only to be disappointed by hearing the same old same old,( Yes--because we
hadn't recognized the name and then found out this was the same guy we had
already hear all the same horror stories from before) I resolved to focus
more at home, do what needs to be done around here, focus on my family
instead of what's "out there waiting to get us", and just let the End of the
world come when it will.
I am burned out on End times preparations. I'm sick of thinking about it,
what the govt. is doing, what THEY are doing over there and there and there,
what latest Anthrax scare is going around. I know the End is coming, I know
it's horrendous in its scope and sequence.
I know I will never be totally prepared, because we don't have the means to
prepare for every single scenario. But that's okay, because I think God even
uses our unprepard-ness to teach us something. If we are so prepared we feel
smug and self-sufficient, then how is He going to get through to us when He
needs to. We will already have it all and are so self sufficient we won't
need Him.
Anyhow, thanks for reminding us to slow down. Those in the know get to
proclaiming, "oh,oh, oh, the sky is falling, the sky is falling", and then
when we hear it from them, we want to run around and warn everyone. We want
to do everything at once. Gotta get that water storage, get our food,
prepare a safe place, get our spiritual lives in order, and on and on. Then
we miss the joy of the present time, in our focusing so much on tomorrow.
I'm tired of tomorrow and it hasn't even come.
I say, let's kick back and pretend it's not out there and go back to the
beginning point where we didn't know anything and we could still enjoy a
walk in the moonlight, and a good campout, or bake batch of cookies to eat
right now, instead of making that darn granola emergency bars for tomorrow!

In reading your dream it immediatly came to me that going slow to me means returning to a more simple lifestyle such as a small farm and being self
sufficient, growing your own food, removing from the fast paced corporate society and enjoying your life and loved ones as much as possible despite hell
raging on earth.

Subject: A boat named JOY
Jeanette,
I say Amen Amen , and Amen to your letter.
Thank you Jeanette, it appears that I am in the same boat as you. It is a
wonderful boat to be in. There are important things to do today, and if
baking cookies is one of them, so be it. I find that baking cookies brings
me joy. It is one of lifes simple pleasures.
"Men are that they might have joy." This is found in 2 Nephi and
is a
scripture that many people have heard. It, to me, is the key to what is
going on lately and your bringing up the cookies thing has caused me to
ponder on it. Thank you for inspiring thought in me today.
I, personally, found no joy in the fear of the last days. To me, the
phrase, "What will happen, will happen and we just have to prepare for
it",
now, is a bunch of nonsense.
I believe that fear in future events almost makes those events inevitable
because it puts people in a position where they have no hope of changing the
outcome. When people sit in fear of a future event it is almost like the
deer who is caught in the headlights of a car. It sits there dumbfounded
until it is hit and killed. If it could snap itself away from the power of
the headlights grasp, it could rely on its senses, react with focused intent
and live. Those who live in fear of the future destruction, eliminate the
possibility that it does not have to happen, thereby eliminating any hope of
changing the outcome. There must be hope that it does not have to happen or
the destruction will come.
I have found in the scripture about joy a place of hope. I looked at
the
scripture and realized that God does not want us to have pain and
destruction. God wants us to live and have joy. Knowing that
God wants me
to have joy gave me hope that the events of the future are uncertain.
All of the warnings of death and destruction are premised with that old,
"if - then" thing. It amazes me that most people seem to dwell
on the
negative side of all of the prophecies, instead of realizing that it does
not need to happen. It usually goes something like, if the people are not
righteous they will have destruction brought upon them. Who ever said that
the destruction has to come? It says that it will only come if the people
are not righteous.
We have the ability to change the outcome of our future. We have the
ability to eliminate the need for the destruction. The only thing we need
to do is understand what it means to truly be righteous, and when I say this
I mean personally righteous. One person can never force another person
into
righteousness, they can only change themselves and that is the place
everyone needs to start.
It is my belief that true righteousness can only be found within a personal
relationship between each person and God. Each of us has a gift or a work
to do here, and in order to be righteous, I feel that finding out what Gods
will is for me is of paramount importance. If righteousness for one person
is to be honest and have integrity as a bank teller, or a mother ,or a
construction worker, or the owner of a large company, what has that got to
do with me. I had to develop my own personal relationship with God, find
out what my work here on this planet was and with full intergity live it and
do it. It did not matter what the work was. To me, all work is good
work
as long as one does it with honor and integrity and with their whole heart.
That is how it goes for me. I talk to God, find out what I need to do
today
and then I do it. That is what living in righteousness or integrity is to
me and that is how joy is found. When we allow fears to come into our
lives, it often places us in a position where we become distracted from what
we ought to be doing right now and we get sidetracked into what we need to
do to protect ourselves from the fear. Then the task of the day, or our
work, from God is lost and we are not living in our integrity or our
righteousness. Fear, in my opinion, is the number one enemy to
righteousness.
When I remember that God wants me to have joy, it gives me hope and I have t
he courage to walk away from the fears that prevent me from following Gods
will for me each day. I then have the time to do the things that the
spirit
directs me to do because I am not spending time protecting myself from my
fears. This places me in a position where I am living in that place of
integrity or righteousness. When I live in integrity and righteousness, I
have no regrets and I find JOY. Then when I find joy, my joy uplifts a
little part of the planet, the little part that is me. Then, if my joyful
heart touches another heart and helps to bring the other heart joy, another
little part of the planet is uplifted. Then they take their joyful hearts
and uplift others.
Imagine the snowball effect if all of us truly sought that place where we
realize that a major part of our reason for being here is so that we might
have joy. Imagine what a world we could create if we stopped spending so
much time doing things out of fear and spent the majority of our time doing
what the spirit directs us to do, those things that bring us joy. Imagine
people who actually go and visit someone who they are impressed to go and
visit, instead of talking themselves out of it because they fear that they
will look stupid or that they will not have the time to do it or that they
are just imagining that impression. Following the spirit brings joy and
the
snowball effect starts rolling. One joyful heart can give hearts full of
fear and sorrow hope that it is possible to have joy.
I have faith that the bonds of fear can and will be broken, and this world
will realize its potential and learn how to live in joy. God spoke it,
"Men are that they might have joy". This phrase opens up all
possibilities
for me.
Realizing this, living and breathing it is, in my opinion what will change
the world and what will give the rest of the world hope. This has become
my
new last days scenerio. It is possible.
I am finding that unshakable connection with God and with my integrity and
it has been the key to joy in my life. I know that when I have joy, I can
change the world. When I listen to the spirit and the spirit tells me that
one of the tasks of the day is to bake cookies, I do it. Then when baking
cookies brings joy to me and to my family or friends, I have done my part to
live in integrity and righteousness, thereby uplifting this planet and doing
my part to change the last days scenerio. We all have the power to make a
difference. It is my faith that we have the power to stave off the angels
of destruction. We just need to do it!!!
With much hope for the future,
Trish
Sterling's Reply to Trish
You make some good points, Trish, but let me remind you that someone needs to
stand guard while the others sleep. You certainly have taken your turn,
but don't make the mistake of implying that we (as a body) don't need vigilance
at all times. Don't poo poo others who are currently standing guard.
Vigilance in essence is not rooted in fear. The vigilant dear doesn't walk
into the road in the first place when cars are approaching. Most deer
don't grasp the idea of a "road" and even the idea of the need
for vigilance before crossing.
