Conversations with Melchizedek – More Weather Anomalies Coming

.

Jesus - The Path to the Creator

After Melchizedek's warnings about the unusual aspects of the first two hurricanes of the season, Harvey and Irma, and the wide swath of damage it caused, two more hurricanes are following in their footsteps and once again the Caribbean and Eastern Coast of the United States may face yet more strange weather behavior.

Hurricane Jose is meandering up the East coast and may give Boston and New England a blast as it passes by, a quite rare occurrence.  Hurricane Maria, however, poses a much greater threat as it is following the destructive path of Irma and has its sights set on the nearly destroyed Caribbean Islands, as well as the Eastern USA.  Speaking of anomalies, the Caribbean has not suffered a direct hit by two hurricanes in one season, another record that will fall in the next few days.

As damage estimates in the USA alone already push beyond $200 billion, additional damage will become a burden to the nations involved.

Of course we have also recorded nine major solar flares in the past two weeks affecting radio, cell phone, and other reception at a time when the solar disruptions are supposed to be in the multi-year quiet cycle.  Then there are the record fires all over the western United States, Canada, South Africa, Portugal, France, and Siberia burning millions of acres and destroying homes and businesses.

Melchizedek warned there would be numerous natural disasters over a twelve month period ending next August that would cause temporary disruptions to the electrical grid, Internet, and thus security systems protecting our borders.  His warning is for the entire world, not just America.

According to Melchizedek storms will continue to come off the oceans bringing high winds, flooding, and other damage.  He also said “the ground will be shaking” as well and to watch for significant earthquake disturbances in Middle America and the Western region of China near Tibet.

One of Melchizedek’s more profound quotes is to “look for the good in adversity.”  The world has been so focused on polarization, hatred, and frustration in recent times that finding good in adversity might appear to be an overwhelming task.

Human emotions are one of the most powerful forces we have at our disposal and our failure to master and control our emotions magnifies and intensifies the impact of the negative emotions, thus shrouding earth in a cloud of negative energy.

In gloomy times like these, and according to Melchizedek this is not the first nor the last time we will experience this, it often takes intervention by Divine Providence to snap us out of our self-generated and self-perpetuated sea of negativity.

We are in an adjustment phase and the series of weather anomalies is our wake-up call to stop our downward spiral and once again move ahead with our spiritual evolution.  Will we wake up?

All it takes is a change of attitude which is achieved through prayer, collective prayer, to our Creator.  Earth is abundant with religions and philosophies claiming a connection to the Creator so where are the leaders calling for us to stop the hatred, and to pray.  No one is pleased with the way things are and they are only going to get worse as long as we remain trapped in falsehood, and we remain self-perceived as victims.

You have the power, along with everyone else who shares a vision of a world in peace and harmony, free of hunger and bias, hatred and starvation.  Do you really think the Creator of all that is would not give us the power to make things right?  The power is the ability to ask for His help in making Creation, our world, serve the will of the Creator and manifest the love and mercy and compassion and empathy for all of Creations within Creation.

All souls are equal when it comes to our relationship to the Creator.  If we use our creativity, our imagination, and our determination, there is nothing we cannot accomplish.  Maybe it is time we give it a try.

America Lost a National Treasure on September 22, 2015, two years ago, and I Lost a Hero and Friend - Yogi Berra

Yogi Berra, Yankee legend and American icon, died at age 90 two years ago on September 22, 2015, exactly 69 years to the day he played his first game in the major leagues for the Yankees in 1946.  Over the course of the next 19 years, he would become the best catcher in the history of baseball as he led the Yankees to an astonishing 10 World Series championships in 19 years, and fourteen appearances in the World Series during those years.

Berra had a career batting average of.285, while hitting 358 home runs and 1,430 runs batted in. He is one of only five players to win the American League Most Valuable Player Award three times. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest catchers in baseball history, and was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1972.

In 1949, early in Berra’s Yankee career, his manager assessed him this way in an interview in The Sporting News: “Mr. Berra,” Casey Stengel said, “is a very strange fellow of very remarkable abilities.”

Many people know Yogi more for his off-the-field quotes than his baseball stats but his stats only enhance the legend.  His career spanned the careers of Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Whitey Ford, a host of Hall of Famers, and in spite of the hitting reputations of his famous teammates, Yogi drove in more runs during those years than his marquee teammates.

Yogi and Mickey Mantle

Born to Italian immigrants in St. Louis, Yogi dropped out of school after 8th grade to devote his life to baseball.  He served in the Navy in World War II before making his major league debut in 1946.

Yogi and Don Larsen - only perfect game in World Series history

I was born the year he turned pro and during my formative years the kid from St. Louis, about 90 miles down the road from where I lived in Iowa, was a major league super star at catcher, three times MVP, fifteen straight years on the all stars, played in fourteen World series and won ten World championships.

Since I was catcher while winning state championships in Little League and Babe Ruth, the same position as Yogi, he was the role model and reason I was a lifelong Yankees fan, a rare thing in the Midwest.

When I graduated from high school in 1964 I left immediately to visit the Yale campus.  The sports editor who covered my high school career, Al Hoskins of the Ottumwa Courier, joined us in NYC and arranged to get media passes in NYC resulting in dugout and on-field access at the Yankees and Mets stadiums where I got to meet Yogi and the other stars.

Little did I know that twenty years later I would be working for the governor of New Jersey and got to know Yogi and his old teammate Phil Rizzuto up close and personal.  Yogi loved New Jersey and never hesitated to offer his assistance for anything the governor wanted.  He went so far as to host parties at his home in Montclair, NJ where other Hall of Fame players would tell endless stories of the Yogi legend.

No one ever played the game of baseball harder and his career was full of memorable accomplishments.  Yogi the linguist is a legend in his own right and Yogi the person who cared for everyone, especially kids, will never be forgotten.

Yogi has now joined his brothers in the Hall of Fame, among the spirits in the sky, and our world will sorely miss what he gave, and never forget his incredible legacy.

Did you ever wonder, Who am I? - Not a typical American according to the polls - So who am I?

One would think, after the reasonably long life I have lived, I might have some idea of who am I.  How little we know.

Unbelievably, someone out there in cyberspace is compiling our history.  They do it by tracking, listening to, spying on, profiling, analyzing, dissecting, and brain washing us.

Somewhere in those monster computers that rule the world, everything there is to know about us exists.  Thanks to the Internet, they know our finances, interests, buying patterns, secret friends, appetite, both culinary and sexual, crimes, incomes, taxes and you name it.

Nothing is sacred.

I find it to be quite an annoyance and a bit unsettling.  However, as a realist, what else do we expect from our governments and corporate benefactors.  About the only thing they are good at is collecting all that personal stuff and having no idea what to do with it.

Because I have a tough time dealing with intangible things like the Internet or cyber space, we should have a name for that monster computer system.

Once when I was involved in the Society of the Mind, a group at the MIT Media Lab involved in artificial intelligence, I got to meet the great science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke.  Clarke was about as far out as humans could be and he wrote the inspiration and screen play for an Oscar winning movie.

In the movie, 2001 Space Odyssey, HAL was the computer name, the same as the first name of a Congressman I worked for, but the movie gang used the letters because they preceded the initials of the largest computer company at the time, IBM.  That is clever.

Today we need a new name to reflect the proliferation of computer companies and the way our identity and every move is under scrutiny and monitored.

I say we call it, hum, how about "Alice" - in honor of Alice in Wonderland where nothing is as it seems.  I love Lewis Carroll.  Hardcore Geeks can relate to Alice's world.  But no, I think not.

On the other hand, J.R.R. Tolkein, another of my favorite authors, once posed a riddle and the answer is my name for the sinister clump of computers controlling the world, as we know it.  How can you not like an author with three first names?

Here is the riddle:

“This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.”

                        -- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit

The answer:

TIME...

Therefore, we shall call our master computer "TIME," an acronym for "The Intelligent Mind Enigma," which I guess means the only place to find intelligence is in a computer, stupid humans no longer count.

What does TIME tell me about me?

Every day a variety of emails arrive from somewhere out there in cyber space so these must certainly be the results of the TIME analysis of the subject, me.

First, I must be undersexed to a substantial degree, or sexually impotent, because there are Viagra and Cialis offers nearly every day to treat my erectile dysfunction.  How does TIME know about what I do or do not do in bed?

Second, and what might support my undersexed condition, is the array of choices for a partner in life.  Some days TIME thinks I need to Mingle with Christian women, some days Jewish women,  some days Russian, Black, Asian, and European women, all in the interest of finding me the perfect match.

With such an amazing variety of women available to me, I must be classified as some kind of new kaleidoscope in the color spectrum when it comes to race and color as my choices go beyond the rainbow.

Russian Women

Okay, so each day I receive TIME generated instructions on my sexual inadequacies and my choices in female companionship.

Israeli Women

Other daily occurrences are the executive job offers, the stories matched to my interests, which include everything from politics to nature, environment to hunger, GMO to pharmaceutical drugs, Republican to Democrat, and about a dozen stock tips to become an overnight Bill Gates.

Because I am a journalist and choose to write about everything, TIME is confused about my interests.  The computer does not believe humans can have such a varied interest as I indicate but humans may not be the only thing that is stupid.

Every screen I get on the Internet with the sole exception of The Coltons Point Times, which I write and still control, every other screen has virtually layers of virtual ads from the virtual warehouse of TIME.

Note; The Coltons Point Times does not allow ads of any kind, does not collect any email or other personal information on you, and does not participate in any collection of info other than basic data telling me where my readers live and what they read.  All readers are autonomous.

TIME, that monster computer in cyberspace, is nothing more than a computer that collects everything, converts it to a digital electrical impulse, identifies everything there is to know about us, and has no clue what it means to be human.

TIME decides what is in our best interest based on our digital profile and probability analysis.  Guess what, I am neither predictable nor probable.  I live my life to disrupt all settled ideas while TIME functions as if all information is already settled.

Today I intend to disrupt TIME.  I shall disallow system upgrades (no one really knows where upgrades come from), turn off the Internet, cut off power to my computer, and go listen to music.  Let TIME try to analyze how that affects my profile.

I suppose, tomorrow I will have spam instructions on Mental Institutions if TIME works.

By the way, the TIME master computer is in all probability, a slave to more master computers of the intelligence agencies, corporations, churches, and all the other information parasites.

Stop digital domination.  Break digital dependence.  Do not be a digit eejit!

Be free - control technology, or be controlled by technology!
