The 21st century is expecting a lamb when a lion is on the way.

Annihilation Of The Soul, Future Life
Published July 21, 2020 by tindertenderQuestion: Why does man have an instinctive aversion to the idea of the annihilation of the soul?
Answer: Because there is no such thing as nothingness.
Question: Where does our instinctive sentiment of a future life come from?
Answer: We have already told you: before incarnating, the spirit is aware of all these things, and, once incarnate, the soul retains a vague memory of that knowledge and of what was seen during the interval in between incarnations.
Question: At the moment of death, what is the prevailing feeling in most people: doubt, fear, or hope?
Answer: Doubt in the case of hardhearted skeptics; fear, in the case of the guilty; and hope, in the case of the virtuous.
Question: Why are there skeptics at all, as the soul gives man the intuition of spiritual matters?
Answer: There are fewer skeptics than you suppose. During life, many pretend to be bold freethinkers out of pride, but at the moment of death, they are much less arrogant.
The consequences of the future life derive from the responsibility for our acts. With regard to the distribution of the joys to which all aspire, reason and justice tell us that the good and the wicked cannot possibly be ranked together. God cannot have wished for some to be awarded enjoyments without effort, whereas others only through struggle and perseverance.
The idea that God applies His justice and mercy through the wisdom of His laws does not allow us to believe that the righteous and the wicked are at the same level in His eyes. Nor can we doubt that some day the former shall receive a reward, and the latter a punishment, for the good or evil they have done. That is why our innate sense of justice gives us the intuition of future rewards and punishments.
Question: Is God personally concerned with each individual? Isn’t God too great and aren’t we too small for each individual in particular to have any importance in His eyes?
Answer: God is concerned with all the beings He created, no matter how small they may be. Nothing is too small for the goodness of God.

Worship
Published July 20, 2020 by tindertenderQuestion: Does God prefer those who worship him in any particular fashion?
Answer: God prefers those who worship Him from the heart, with sincerity, doing good and avoiding evil, to those who think they honor Him through rituals that do not make them any better toward their fellow beings.
All creatures are siblings, children of the same God. He summons all those who follow His laws, whichever way they do it.
He who’s piety is nothing but an outward display is a hypocrite. He whose worship is an affectation in contradiction with his conduct sets a bad example.
He who professes to worship Christ, but who is proud, envious and jealous, who is hard and merciless toward others, or who covets earthly possessions, has religion only on his lips, not in his heart.God, who sees everything, shall say, “He who knows the truth is a hundredfold more culpable for the evil he does than the rude primitive man in the desert, and shall be treated accordingly on the day of reckoning.” If a blind man passing by happens to hit you by accident, you forgive him. But, instead, if it is a man with perfect vision who does it, you shall protest, and rightly so.
So do not ask which form of worship is the most suitable, for that would be tantamount to asking whether it is more pleasing to God to worship Him in one language or another. Let me reiterate: your chants only reach God when sung through the gates of the heart.

Soul Groups
Published July 16, 2020 by tindertenderWritten by:

There are 2,135 Soul Groups upon the Earth at this time. Each Group has 144,000 Monads, each Monad has 12 Oversoul Souls that split into the duality of male-female upon entering into the 3D form.
You, as either male or female, are that Part of God, which is One with All That Is, to experience, individually, all creation in its diversity and wonderment.
The purpose of duality is to understand Light and Darkness in fullness of Creation. You, as an individual, have God, both as Light and Darkness. You choose what you will experience in the Now moment. Your life reflects those choices.
If all of the universal truths and knowledge were made known to your finite human minds at one time, rather than gradually, your finite human minds would blow a fuse.
Therefore, Spirit gives us all we can handle and once we integrate these into our consciousnesses, further truths are revealed to us. This is a never ending process until we once again reach the state of perfection.
Question: What about souls that get trapped by the negative beings at the time of death? Can they choose a next life task to learn or will they come back not knowing what is happening? I heard souls get trapped in here without getting the chance to meet their guides at the point of death.
Answer: They will be released when the earth ascends to 5D.
Question: Can you tell when the Ascension will happen? This year?
Answer: Personal ascension can happen at anytime, it depends on the individual. The collective ascension will most likely begin around December 2020 and continue in phases and same with the ascension of Earth.
Murder
Published July 8, 2020 by tindertenderQuestion: Is murder a crime in God’s sight?
Answer: Yes, a great crime. For he who takes the life of his fellow creature cuts short a life of expiation or mission. Therein is the evil.
Question: Is there always the same degree of guilt in murder?
Answer: We have already said, ‘God is just.’ He judges the intention rather than the deed.
Question: Does God excuse murder in cases of self-defense?
Answer: A true necessity alone can serve as an excuse. However, if one can save one’s life without having to take that of the aggressor, one must do so.
Question: Is man culpable for the murders he commits during war?
Answer: Not when compelled by the force of circumstance. But he is responsible for the cruelties he commits. Similarly, his acts of compassion will also be taken into account.
Question: Which one is a more serious crime in the eyes of God, parricide or infanticide?
Answer: They are equally serious, for all crime is crime.
Question: Why is infanticide a custom endorsed by the legislation of certain nations that are already intellectually advanced?
Answer: Intellectual development does not necessarily go hand-in-hand with moral development. A spirit of superior intelligence may be evil, if he has lived many lives developing his intellect but without purifying his soul: all he has acquired is knowledge.

No Mistakes

Don’t you see?
Our Creator didn’t create just one kind of flower but thousands.
Not one kind of cloud but hundreds.
Even snowflakes are each individual.
This is the beauty of Creational Love.
In varieties …
That includes us …
Love is in our differences.
We are Love.
Should we choose to be.
Darkness to Light
Published June 23, 2020 by tindertenderHerald the coming of the new light.
The great Jesus returns, know that we are one.
To the inner voice that’s saying:
“Rise into the new reality of my love and grace know of the light that shines within you. Know that we are love.”
A Poem
Published June 23, 2020 by tindertenderSometimes I wonder
If Mary breastfed Jesus.
If she cried out when he bit her
Or if she sobbed when he would not latch.
And sometimes I wonder
If this is all too vulgar
To ask in a church
Full of men
Without milk stains on their shirts
Or coconut oil on their breasts
Preaching from pulpits off limits to the Mother of God.
But then I think of feeding Jesus,
Birthing Jesus,
The expulsion of blood
And smell of sweat,
The salt of a mother’s tears
Onto the soft head of the Salt of the Earth,
Feeling lonely
And tired
Hungry
Annoyed
Overwhelmed
Loving
And I think,
If the vulgarity of birth is not
Honestly preached
By men who carry power but not burden,
Who carry privilege but not labor,
Who carry authority but not submission,
Then it should not be preached at all.
Because the real scandal of the Birth of God
Lies in the cracked nipples of a
14 year old
And not in the sermons of ministers
Who say women
Are too delicate
To lead.

Lion In The Sky
Published June 23, 2020 by tindertender
Yet the power resides not in the sky.
The power is in the connection with each soul.
Each soul has a portion of its power.
Each soul is responsible for generating the shift from darkness to light.
Every person has the tools necessary to affect great change.
All benevolence is great in the eyes of God.
Given to you.
Let’s see what you can do.
What you WILL to be done.
Stand Your Ground
Published June 19, 2020 by tindertenderBy doing good and placing all your trust in God, you repel the influence of inferior spirits and you destroy the dominion they wish to establish over you. Guard yourselves against listening to the suggestion of spirits who stimulate evil thoughts in your mind, those who provoke disagreement and elicit in you any evil passion. Distrust particularly those spirits who flatter your pride, for, in so doing, they attack you at your weakest point. That is why Jesus teaches you to recite in the Lord’s Prayer, “Lord, do not let us fall into temptation, but deliver us from evil.“
A spirit never receives a mission to do evil. When he carries out evil deeds, it is by his own will, and he shall, therefore, suffer the consequences. God may let him test you, but never directly orders him to do it; it is up to you to repel him.
