MONJORONSON:  No, I am not saying that.  You are saying that.  You have overlaid my comment about “forces” with your concerns that those “forces” are [[governments]] and/or principalities.  Those are two [[different]] [[things]].  People will always [[respond]] to natural disaster, but I was talking about [[Catastrophism|natural disaster]], and it is [[apparent]] that some of these [[things]] I [[predicted]] are in [[fact]] coming to pass.  Recall last month I said I was here somewhat as an engineer to see if the bridge would withstand earthquakes and the like.  This is an example of what I was talking about.  How will your world hold up in the face of the many [[dynamic]] [[physical]] [[changes]] that are visited upon you at this time in your [[geologic]] [[history]]?  How your [[governments]] and [[power]] [[structures]] handle these physical disasters and/or concerns is another subject entirely.

It behooves you to distinguish between the two.  No one can be held [[responsible]] for “[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acts_of_God acts of God].” They are a [[natural]] part of the [[evolutionary]] [[process]] of [[planetary]] [[development]].  [[Urantia]] is still a young planet.  It is still cooling.  The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tectonic_Plates tectonic plates] are still unsettled.  [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanoes Volcanoes] are still giving [[evidence]] of the [[fact]] of the molten underbelly.  You can, to some extent, [[prepare]] for these disasters or forestall being [[negatively]] impacted by them, by simply being [[aware]] of the world on which you live and what the [[prognosis]] is for these natural disasters, based on [[history]].

Many people [[choose]] to live on the hillside even though they have seen other houses destroyed by mudslides.  Many, many people live in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floods flood zones] and cannot be surprised when they are flooded out, just as people who live in the wake of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoons typhoons] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricanes hurricanes] must be [[prepared]] to batten their hatches when hurricane season comes along.  This is all part of what it is to live on a [[material world]] – particularly one that is undergoing [[natural]] [[changes]].

Student:  If the [[decimation]] comes, then how will [[things]] [[change]] if these [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabal selfish elite families] are not removed?  If these selfish ruling families are allowed to remain, they will use the [[decimation]] as a time to gain further [[control]] over their brethren.  What I would like to know is whether or not these [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabal ruling elites] will be removed from our [[earth]] [[dimension]] to the next one so that those [[persons]] wanting a [[change]] to [[light]] and life will see it happen.  I don’t see how we will ever [[achieve]] the opening stages of [[light and life]] if [[evil]], selfish greedy men bent on global domination and [[genocide]] are allowed to remain.

MONJORONSON:  Obviously a part of your [[fears]] is that when disaster strikes there will be those who take undue [[advantage]].  Your concern that the [[powers]] and principalities that rule in your world will renew their [[efforts]] with gusto to take over and rule the world for their own selfish gain … this too is nothing new.  This has been going on since time began.  [[Caligastia]] started it -- and it [[probably]] happened well before Caligastia arrived.  It has happened in every [[generation]] since.

Since [[Christ]], there have indeed been [[powers]] that have arisen. [[Rome]], of course, was in command when he lived here but since then there has been many [[changes]] in [[government]], there have been new [[powers]] and they have taken turns at being the [[power]] to [[fear]] at any given time.  This is the [[nature]] of the beast -- the one which seeks to take over, that seeks [[power]], that seeks to rule over [[everything]] and everyone.  Some of these are [[beneficent]] powers.  Some are [[evil]] and they too come and go.  They come into [[being]] and they die out, if for no other reason than because they are [[finite]], they are [[temporal]] and they cannot last forever.  So yes, there are certain [[families]], beginning with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medici_Family Medici’s] in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Ages middle ages], and other [[families]] more recent.  There is the elite that you equate to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skull_and_Bones skull and crossbones], the upper 400, those who have the bulk of the [[wealth]], who think they own the world and they do indeed make life miserable for many, but so do [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosquitoes mosquitoes].  You can [[transcend]] their [[influence]].

As for their [[manipulating]] people under them, there is a certain [[truth]] to that, but the more you [[fear]] their [[power]] over you, the more power you give them.  Jesus said, “[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_133_-_The_Return_From_Rome#133:4._PERSONAL_WORK_IN_CORINTH Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s].”  If you comply with certain rudimentary [[behaviors]], you can slip through the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar radar] of their eagle eye and live an ordinary life, even a [[resplendent]] life, without being a threat to their standing.  Do they destroy [[races]] of people?  Do they [[encourage]] [[genocide]]?  Do they [[contribute]] to the demise of entire peoples and nations?  Yes, they have and they will attempt to [[continue]] to do what they [[feel]] is [[necessary]] to hold at bay those [[forces]] which threaten their base of operations, and that includes their [[wealth]], for they [[worship]] [[wealth]], you see, as well as [[power]], and their [[ability]] to [[manipulate]] peoples and principalities, nations, and [[governments]].  And yet they are no more [[evil]], in general, than the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Church Catholic Church], or the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFL-CIO AFL-CIO] or the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boy_Scouts_of_America Boy Scouts of America].

[[Everything]] is [[relative]], you see.  And you can give in to their [[influence]] or step outside of their influence because you have [[free will]].  The [[power]] that is [[inherent]] in you is greater than the [[power]] of all these [[wealthy]] old families who like to pull your strings.  You don’t have to [[respond]] to their [[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Shadow_Puppets-2006-01-16 puppeteering].  You don’t have to succumb or kowtow just because they have [[power]]. [[God]] has more power.  I have more [[power]].  The [[angels]] have more power.  The [[midwayers]] have more power.  You have more power.  You need to [[discern]] how you can [[access]] your own power and join it with the power of your own kind so as to quietly go about doing [[good]].

How nice it is, now that the storm has passed.  The air is clear and clean.  The birds are [[happy]].  The dust has settled.  We can [[proceed]] now with another day in the life of springtime [[unfolding]].  And your life unfolding as it should.  How it warms my [[heart]] to be your [[friend]] and to have these respites with you, these [[quiet]] [[moments]] of [[friendship]] between the realms of our [[being]].  What a [[wonder]] that we have come so far in such a short time, to be so at [[home]] in this [[paradigm]] of [[reality]] which we have created by our [[desire]] to lower the veil between your world and mine.
