The Runner

AVR #5797, "Anchor Points," this morning!  Here it is, in its entirety.  Emphasis added...

We are about to witness an extraordinary phenomenon, so listen up and take this seriously, because there are very material and important things at stake.

The Ancients described in religious and occult texts how we all come into this world, and how one being is split into male and female expressions of the same self. They call this the "twin flame" of the "One", and over centuries the peculiar details of this relationship have been recorded and passed down.

The most extraordinary sign that you are encountering the "other side" of yourself, are surges of an electrical - alchemical energy that takes your breath away. It's so strong, so unexpected, it takes your breath away and leaves you startled, sometimes even gasping.

You are just dawdling along, maybe at the supermarket or walking home from church and ---- and, there you are, going WTH was that? A sudden overwhelming surge of energy -- not just sexual chemistry, seems to rise up from the floor or the street or wherever you are, and gobsmacks your whole body like a tsunami.

Maybe you will walk into your kitchen one day, as I did, and a young man you hardly know will look over his shoulder and you will know with an inner knowledge that he is your twin. Or she is your twin.

And it will make no logical sense at all.

This person is usually totally different from you in some major respects beyond being of a different sex. If you are blond, they are dark. If you are short, they are relatively tall. If you are older, they are younger. If you are beautiful, they are likely to be homely. I am not saying this specifically --- just giving examples of how you may additionally differ.

It's usually not only a matter of being a different sex, but what does not differ, is the immense strength of the energy involved. It totally overwhelms any concept you might have had prior to this.

If this has happened to you, if you have met your Twin in this life, you know exactly what I am talking about.

This gravitational attraction is orders of magnitude stronger, immediate, unreasoning, automatic --- like opposite poles of a magnet flipping and clamping together.

When this happened to me, thirty years ago, I was happily married and had no compass, no idea what was going on at all. So, I went to my husband, Jim, and thank God, he was not as clueless as I was, nor was he angry or upset.

He smiled and gently embraced me and said, "You've just encountered the other side of yourself." He went on to explain the whole nature and dynamic of the relationship, calm and kind as ever.

Jim was my Soulmate, but the other man was my Twin Flame -- that missing, separated Divine Masculine part of my Self.

And I had to deal with the prerogatives and truths of both at the same time, with a young Son hanging in the balance.

Both loves are valid. Both loves are true. That is what is so horrifically difficult when your Twin is married to someone else, or you are married to someone else.

And you all still have to muddle through, somehow.

I was helped in that my Twin was my Twin. I was a good woman with good values and an honest heart. He was a good man with good values and an honest heart. I could not turn away from my commitment to Jim and our young Son. My Twin understood that.

Other Twin relationships are not so brave and willing to sacrifice themselves. And no matter what, it's not easy. Encountering your Twin is terrifying in a way.¹

The potential emotional stakes are unimaginably high.¹

People who have problems with self-confidence, those who have been damaged by rejection and betrayal, those who have lost in love and are familiar with that suffering, instinctively shy away.

Even though they unavoidably love you to the depths of their soul, even though their very DNA, their cellular code, is screaming your name --- fear of rejection, fear of loss, fear of fear itself --- typically drives one Twin to flee.

This person is known as The Runner. They run, even when there is no other person involved -- and it's even worse, when, as in my case, you are already married.

The Twin relationship, like the Soulmate relationship, is a soul-level bond. You can accept it, you can reject it, you can ignore it (or try to), you can fight it, you can flee it, you can get down on your knees and ask God to end it --- and it remains. It is divine and it is destined that someday, you will rejoin.

The two of you will become one again.

The Sacred Union that Twin Flames can achieve is utterly legendary, and many people assume that it is some kind of sexual alchemy that transforms the normal sex act into something extraordinary, but no, sex between Twins totally redefines sex. It's not even in the same reality.²

That said, the Sacred Union doesn't require sexual union --- it requires three things:

(1) The two people must be physically and energetically whole. A cracked "bell" cannot hold the frequency of wholeness, so, both must be healthy and whole for the miracle to happen.

(2) They have to understand that the immense energy passing through them and grounding in the Earth is not going to kill them; they have to relax and surrender to it --letting it pass through them freely.

(3) They have to be in close proximity physically, but not necessarily conjoined. Close enough so that their energetic auras overlap. You can experience the Sacred Union by just holding hands or hugging each other.  [This happened twice.]

This is an electromagnetic phenomenon, so it is affected by the environment.

One of the most lasting images I have of it, is both of us being drenched by a rainstorm and standing with my Twin in the surf of the sea, holding onto each other for dear life, syncing our breath to each other, while the energy flowed through us and out from us, radiating deep into the Earth and traveling in an instant through the seawater to the farthest reaches of the planet.

It was a planetary shift. Our remembrance of being One triggered the same remembrance in all the other Twins and even in the animals and plants and rocks. We all suddenly remembered that we are One, inextricably part of each other and the cosmos.

This had to be experienced by one couple in order for it to be transferred to all the others, like a tuning fork being struck.

Once we initiated this cascade of Oneness Energy the entire planet was instantly transformed -- in the twinkling of an eye.

The same deep knowing without words, something beyond words, something intuitive and true, that announces the presence of your Twin, announces the holiness and the unchangeable nature of the bond.

Whether or not you are ever so lucky and blessed to understand the nature of the relationship and to be husband and wife --- you are still blessed to know who your Twin is, and you can still do your part to heal this planet and everyone on it. Each Twin pair can make the effort to reconnect in whatever way is appropriate for them, and anchor the energy of Oneness.

My Twin, as you might expect, has been horribly damaged and battered for my sake. He took all the punishment of the Dark Forces and loyally protected me and my young Son and Jim. He has stood through it all by himself all these years, and you might think that there is no chance for us to be strong enough to anchor the Earth's energy again --- with me pushing seventy and him in the shape he is in.

Whether or not we can do it, the demand is upon us that we try, and the truth, like the result, is in the hands of the Divine that made us---and which renews us. It may take a miracle to make a miracle, but that's how miracles are.

If you know who your Twin is, no matter what age you are, search your condition and strength. We need all the Twins to stand united in whatever phase of life you are in, to once more act as conduits of the Earth Star --- which will make every element of the planet aware of the Oneness that we share and are.

If you want peace, if you want plenty, then turn your attention and focus toward Oneness and believe in love that overcomes.

Postscript...

The Anna von Reitz article cited above is only the second article to mention "twin flame," as of today, based on this search tool on her website (the third one down from the top).

 Article #812, Zig and Zag, December 29, 2017.

As can be observed in several of my previous posts, the concept of "twin flame" has been showing up in various videos on YouTube over the past year.  I do not believe that is a coincidence, especially considering Anna's "Anchor Points" article published today.

 

UPDATE, April 11, 2026...

I am committed.  There is nothing to fear.

Nothing. 

 

UPDATE, April 12, 2026...

There's more.  Oh, boy, is there more.......

UPDATE, April 18, 2026...

More...

Article 5803, International Public Notice: The New Old Science.

A quote from the article, above...

Of course, we experience this as being "at one" with each other and with all of creation.  The Ancients called it "atonement", though we might call it "attunement".  

Quite apart from the notion of sin, Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, bears witness to the earlier understanding -- which was to bring ourselves back into tune with God, with Creation. 

On this particular point I disagree with Anna.

"Atonement" and "attunement" are English words and English is not ancient.  The "Ancients" would not have used these words, nor confused their meanings.  We shouldn't either.

The Hebrew word "Yom" means "day" and "Kippur" (כָּפַר) means covering, and the biblical context is about "covering" for sin.  That is what the Cross is all about.

The engineer agrees with the physics of electromagnetic resonance and is very interested in the science of Energetics.  Those are the "what."  The "why" remains debatable and is ultimately rooted in belief.

I do not always agree with Anna about everything, and have discussed this before:  Deception.

 

Article 5804, International Public Notice: Self Memory

A positive quote from the article...

And if your natural Twin Flame comes to you, know that it is a relationship you must honor with deep respect and reverence; they don't come to destroy your marriages and families. They come in search of themselves. Let them find you standing in your own light, wise and steady and true.

Welcome your Twin. You will suffer greatly. You will be humbled. You will weep. You will stand alone. Yet, this is how you learn the deepest mysteries of love.

UPDATE, May 11, 2026...

As far as I am concerned, there are two witnesses to this "twin flame" phenomenon:

• My own personal experiences.
• Anna's sharing of her own personal experiences. 

UPDATE, June 1, 2026...

¹ Emphasis added in two places.

This is beginning to turn into a deep experience for me, almost an obsession.  It reminds me of the hero character in the movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" when he builds a model of Devil's Tower in his living room.  He could think of nothing else.

I'm not saying it's that extreme for me, and I certainly do not buy into the "aliens" narrative of that particular movie, but my mind is encountering things I have never experienced before, ... and I like it.  It's more than my mind; it's everything.

 

For those who are so inclined, please pray for me and my Twin.  Pray that God's will be done.  Thank you.

UPDATE, June 5, 2026...

Real, natural Twin resonance is relatively rare, maybe one in 500,000 people ever experience it.  (Article 5804, Self Memory)

UPDATE, September 10, 2025...

One year ago (😊)...

Then (☹️)...

I knew what you were up to and we had fun.

I knew what your purpose was for being in Midland and knew you would be leaving soon.

I knew you wanted to keep things private and did my best to honor that desire.

 

There was no betrayal.  You imagined that.

If you wanted to end things, you should have said so.

But you didn't.

Cutting off all communications (for a year) was very hurtful.  It was cruel.  Friends don't do that.  They talk things out.  Needing space and giving space is normal and fine.

"Ghosting" is unhealthy for all concerned.  It is a horrible and destructive behavior that has become far, far too common in our culture.  It is unacceptable.

 

I would like to be friends.  Friends talk.  Friends get to know each other.  Friends care about each other and do things to build up their relationship.

You know how to get in touch with me and where to find me.

I dearly hope to hear from you soon.

😊 

 

UPDATE, September 12, 2025...

I believe this was your goal and why you ran away:

The Root Cause of Unhappiness According to the Bhagavad Gita: How Desire Traps the Mind

Desiring me was diametrically opposed to your mission and you realized you had "sinned" by entertaining those desires.  You had to get back on "the higher path."

I am not going to judge you.  If you find happiness by meditating and seeking The Divine, that is your choice.  I do not believe it will ultimately work, but you need to explore those things for yourself.

My mind is not trapped by my desire for you.  Our mutual friend in the coffee shop says you have been very good for me.  I am not angry, far from it.  Through you I have become more enlightened and have learned a lot.

 

I would like to continue our friendship and talk about these things, like we did.  I know more about it now and can more intelligently consider your perspectives.  I think we are more aligned in our thinking than you may realize.

Please text me.  I still have your ringtones on my phone and hearing your text notification sound would absolutely thrill and delight me. 😊

 

... And I still mean and stand by what I said.

 

UPDATE, September 13, 2025...

I recently acquired a new hat from a budding entrepreneur in the mall where the coffee shop is located.  Uncharacteristically, I took a "selfie" photo wearing the hat and posted the photo as my profile picture on Facebook.  That resulted in 20 "likes" and one "heart" (21 total), so friends and relatives seemed to enjoy it.

This morning I realized that hat is a "social mask," which explains why I have not been comfortable wearing it.

It isn't me.

It is a prevarication.

What a lesson!  As Carl Jung said...

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.

The hat will probably end up in the closet and only be used on rare occasions.

Supporting the business of my entrepreneur friend was a delight, however.

“Unless you people see signs and wonders,” Jesus told him, “you will never believe.”  (John 4:48 NIV)

(Link:  Gum)

God gives us remembrances.  Some are physical and some are just memories.  He wants us to believe what He has done.

God wrestled with Jacob, and did something to his hip to make him limp.  That limp would remind Jacob, whom God renamed "Israel," that the event really happened.

When the Israelites crossed the Jordan River on dry ground, God had them take up twelve stones from the middle of the dry river and put them where they camped that night, to serve as a sign and reminder of what God did to stop the water flowing in the river.

When Jesus fed 5000 men by multiplying five loaves and two fish, he had all twelve of his guys pick up leftover pieces, and they each filled a basket.  He gave them all that memory.

When Jesus repeated the miracle, he fed 4000 men with seven loaves and a few small fish, and He had them pick up the leftovers.  They filled seven baskets.  Do you suppose seven of them did not believe the first miracle so they got a second opportunity with the seven baskets?

Why The Michigan Assembly may be "the most targeted Assembly in America" (Article #4777)...

Friends, I think you have a massive gold hoard scuttled away by Navy Officers, hidden somewhere in Michigan. I would be willing to bet money on it. And they are still guarding it, for their British Territorial U.S. Government and King Charlie.

...

They don't want us to be in Session in Michigan when the music stops, because our State Assembly there would claim it back for America, not Britain. They couldn't claim it was abandoned property.

...

If I am right, there's around 8 Billion with a "B" Metric tons of gold in Michigan and they can't get it out of there without some kind of narrative and they can't claim it without some excuse. I think they planned to quietly place a claim on abandonment on it, using their song and dance that we are "missing" and our government is "in interregnum" but they can't do that with a State Assembly in Session.

So the next best thing they could do was exactly what they have tried to do three times in a row --- establish a tight knit and highly controlling group of former military and agency operatives in control of The Michigan Assembly, so they could just play dumb, make sure that you never raise your hands, and declare a recess or an emergency to shut the Assembly down --- then just cart everything back down the St. Lawrence, probably to Canada, the British Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico, then "home" to London.

...

So, for the record, if I am right, tomography and Lidar has already revealed the existence of a huge gold stash in Michigan, probably close to the Canadian Border... [emphasis added]

So, how much is "8 Billion with a 'B' metric tons of gold?"

That's 8,000,000,000 tonnes.

8,000,000,000,000 kilograms.

17,636,800,000,000 pounds.

The specific gravity of gold is 19.32.  Water is 1.00.

That calculates to 414,078,675 cubic meters or 541,594,459 cubic yards.  (Somebody please check my arithmetic.)

That is a cube with sides of 2445 feet.

Compared to Michigan Stadium ("The Big House") in Ann Arbor

Where did this gold probably come from?

While re-watching the Aaj Ki Raat video this evening, I realized another amazing connection.

The main dancer (and "lip-syncher") in the silver dress who rides the disco ball is Priyanka Chopra.

Chopra's spouse is Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers.

The Jonas Brothers lend their name to merchandise, including clothing and specifically pants.

When she came into the coffee shop wearing her red pants and I complemented her about them, ... she replied they were "jonas brothers."

Astounding.

 

UPDATE, November 10, 2025...

Here's another "coincidence" I eventually noticed...

September, 2024, a year ago.  Click to enlarge.

Before my mother died, the staff at the place where she lived put on a bridal fashion show for the folks who lived there.  Staff members modeled their wedding dresses.  My mother and I were late arriving and the only seats left were at the far end by the window, ...which were actually "the best seats in the house," from a photography perspective.  I took pictures of the various ladies as they "walked down the aisle."

During the past year since "Eight Days in September," I have realized the red pants coming into the coffee shop towards me as I waited at the end of the counter was similar to a bride coming down the aisle to her groom.  On July 18 the possible connection hit me.  "When was that fashion show?" I wondered.

August 29, 2024.

... Five (5) days before the red pants came into the coffee shop.

 

Those are the facts; people can make up their own minds about what it means, if anything.

 

This is so much fun!

 

UPDATE, August 15, 2026...

The Apostle Thomas was called "The Twin."

The Bible says so three (3) times. 

John 11:16, John 20:24, John 21:2.

Interesting... 

I wonder who his Twin was?  🤔

Self Will

Many of us quote Jesus and say to our Father, "Your will be done."  But do we really mean it?  Do we, instead, end up doing our own will anyway?

I needed to go to the grocery store yesterday, and had been putting it off for several days.

My wife and I went to Kroger a lot before she died, but she also went to Family Fare occasionally.  She liked how FF was quiet and relaxed, ... and not busy.  Apparently their prices are higher so fewer people shop there.

My wife died during the "plandemic" hysteria and Kroger (incorporated) played the hoax to the hilt.  They shut off the bottled water station, pushed face-coverings and continually made announcements about the "virus" propaganda.  I got tired of it and started going to Family Fare myself, just to get some peace.  Kroger was also the place where my wife collapsed and where I had to go to retrieve our car.

It's been over four years since my wife departed, and I have shopped at both Family Fare and Kroger.  Both were providing me with personalized coupons based on my previous purchases, which is pretty creepy if you think about it, but in the past few months FF stopped sending them.

I ran out of a certain type of sriracha sauce I had found at FF and have not been able to find it elsewhere, so yesterday I decided to go to FF to get my bottled water and groceries.  I knew I had the Kroger coupons, but I left them at home.  As I was getting ready to back the car out of the driveway, I struggled to remember I would be going to FF.  I knew if I had proceeded without thinking my constantly-running intuition would have taken me to Kroger.  I had to think about driving and making navigation decisions.

When I got to FF, I loaded up a shopping cart (trolley) with my nine empty gallon bottles and went into the store.  When I got to the bottling station there was a notice taped to it saying it was out of order and apologizing for the inconvenience.  I chuckled and realized I had been waived off of going to FF for a reason.

So, I wheeled my cart back to the car, reloaded the bottles and drove to Kroger.  Once I was at Kroger, I obtained a cart, loaded it with my bottles and ... realized I did not have my Kroger coupons.  Ugh.

I put the bottles back into the car, returned the cart to the parking lot livery and drove the half-mile back to my house, retrieved the coupons, and then proceeded to return to the store and go through the ritual with the bottles again.

Once inside the store, I started shopping for vegetables because they are just inside the door, and realized my bottles were still empty.  My usual practice is to fill them first, but I had not done it at Kroger in quite some time so I was disorganized.  My intuition and thinking processes were not meshing.

I should have gone to Kroger in the first place.  My will was to go to FF, but The Spirit wanted me to go to Kroger.  Why, I did not know, but I presumed He knew what He was doing.

I filled my jugs, got my groceries, went home, put things away, and then went to the coffee shop to say goodbye to a friend who is moving out of state.  When I got home again, I took a nap.

Upon waking from the nap, I knew I was supposed to walk to my daughter's house and offer her my wife's patio furniture.  I knew they would be there (both of them), and it was something I was supposed to do.  (My girls are still not talking to me after four years, as I discussed in other posts.)  It was clear to me it was the Father's will that I do that, and the interaction took place.  I believe He prepared me to hear Him through my self-will experience regarding Family Fare and Kroger.

I did what I was led to do with my daughters and it is in God's hands now.  I can move on.

 

This morning, I realized why I was supposed to go to Kroger and not Family Fare.  This song was playing in Kroger as I shopped...

Ghosted

I knew it was coming.

Back in May, a neighbor told me he and his local band would be playing at the popular "Bully" bar/restaurant in Midland, and being single and needing supper I decided to go.  He was pleased to see me in the audience.

It was rather loud on my older ears, but they played a number of songs that took me back to my younger days.

One of the songs really affected me.  I recognized the riff and asked my friend what it was at a break.  He told me, and when I got home I searched for it on YouTube¹ and downloaded it from Apple the next day.

"Wicked Game"

World was on fire and no one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No, I don't wanna fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't wanna fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you
(This world is only gonna break your heart)

What a wicked game you played, to make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you

And I don't wanna fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't wanna fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you

World was on fire and no one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No, I don't wanna fall in love

Ghosting (behavior)

Ghosting, simmering and icing are colloquial terms that describe the practice of suddenly ending all communication and avoiding contact with another person without any apparent warning or explanation and ignoring any subsequent attempts to communicate.

The term originated in the early 2000s, typically referring to dating and romantic relationships. In the following decade, the media reported a rise in ghosting behaviors, which has been attributed to the increasing use of social media and online dating apps. The term has also expanded to refer to similar practices among friends, family members, employers and businesses.

The most common cause of ghosting in a personal relationship is to avoid emotional discomfort in a relationship. A person ghosting typically has little acknowledgment of how it will make the other person feel. Ghosting is associated with negative mental health effects on the person on the receiving end and has been described by some mental health professionals as a passive-aggressive form of emotional abuse or cruelty.

Ghosting has become more prevalent. Various explanations have been suggested, but social media is often blamed, as are dating apps, polarizing politics and the relative anonymity and isolation in modern-day dating and hookup culture, which make it easier to sever contact with few social repercussions. In addition, the more commonplace the behavior becomes, the more individuals can become desensitized to it.

In 2014, a YouGov survey was taken to see if Americans have ever ghosted their partner to end a relationship. In a 2014 survey, 1,000 US adults were interviewed about ghosting, yielding the result that just over 10% of Americans [11% -- surprise, surprise] have ghosted someone to break up with them.  (Wikipedia)

I forgive you.

All glory to God.

¹ For the record, the video in this post was not the one I found when I first looked for the song on YouTube.  I did not see this particular version until I was looking for an example to include here.  When I found it, however, I knew it was the one.

I am forgiving her for ghosting me, for abruptly accusing me of something I did not do, and then cutting off all communications.  I have no qualms about anything else, and desperately hope she gets back in touch.  I want to be her friend.

Single Again

My bride died suddenly four years ago this coming January.

I have gone through the typical grief phases and mourned her deeply.  It has taken me longer than I would have thought, but has been relatively quick compared to most widow(er)s because of my decisive personality.  People have no idea how many tears I have shed privately.

Earlier this year, I realized I was ready to start looking for someone to fill the void she left.  I am ready to date.

Already, I have had some experiences to put into the category:  Lessons Learned.

People do not know how to date.  My father taught me how to treat a woman, and I used to practice those things on my wife.  She appreciated it.

People also get things out of sequence.  As a project manager, this really irritates me.  I freely admit I have not always done things right, but it is clear to me from my first interactions with the opposite sex that any respect and reverence for the boundaries God intended for marriage alone have been totally lost and forgotten.  It is very disappointing.

This morning, I was prompted to change my "status" on Facebook to "Single."  I also removed a number of photos of my bride so people will get the idea I am moving forward.

I posted this as my "pinned post"...

Those are my boundaries, and I ask people to please respect them.

I also posted this...

I am open to having friendships with anyone, but have learned what I am specifically looking for in a wife.¹  More importantly, I desire to find the partner God has in store for me during my next phase.

Given that much of my life is behind me, any potential mate will need to know about my background, history, and unusual views.

I ask any woman who would like to date me to please consider this entire blog required reading.  She needs to know what she is potentially dealing with and getting herself into.

I also ask her to consider my writings about my Cooler Hat additional required reading.  That other blog is not anonymous, so anyone interested in it will need to get the reference from me.

I look forward to meeting and becoming friends with many wonderful and interesting people.

All glory to God.

¹ Added this link to the post describing what I am specifically looking for in a wife.

UPDATE, March 2, 2025...

I am the coach and I am looking for a player.

I am looking for someone who is going to pick up a glove and learn the game, who is coach-able and can master the fundamentals.

The one who studies me and can prove they know me by telling me about myself is the one who is going to get my attention and has the best chance of making the team.

I am not looking for someone who is swinging for the fence.  They are likely to strike out.

We are the home team.  Once the game starts, we will be in the field.  Defense first.  We don't score while we are in the field.

I presume she knows how to bat.  I know I do.

She who has ears to hear, let her hear.

 

UPDATE, August 1, 2025...

² Here's another apparent "coincidence" I have to share...

My sister visited me in September right after I had a deeply meaningful few days with the amazing woman who "ghosted" me.  My sister brought a bunch of vegetables from her garden and I was not sure what to do with them but decided to put them all into a pot and make a stew.  Apparently, this is called Mulligan Stew...

Ingredients

I can cook.

I took those photos on September 23 and shared them with my sister.

I also watched the movie Drive around that time, either that evening or the next, I believe.  The heroine of that movie was played by Carey Mulligan...

I noticed the "stew" reference in the "mulligan" definition link I included in the September 25 update, but it took a while to eventually realize these connections.

 

Some people call this "being aligned with the universe."  One of my coffee shop friends calls it "God winks."  I believe it is seeing the Tapestry of The Kingdom.

...which is why I finish all of my posts with "All Glory to God."

Once again, Laurin seems to get it right...

"Agreement," not commitment.

 

By the way, today is the 43rd (4 + 3 = 7, 7) anniversary of my church chapel wedding ceremony with my bride, for which we had a "marriage license" with the State of Michigan (i.e. contract).

It is also the 250th (2 + 5 = 7, 7) anniversary of the formation of The United States of America, unincorporated, the Federation of States.  Isn't that interesting?

 

Here is my 1983 "marriage license," annotated to point out some of the Sea Jurisdiction curiosities...

UPDATE, September 12, 2026...

Yesterday was the 25th (2 + 5 = 7, 7) anniversary of the crime that happened in Lower Manhattan.

This was what was going on in my life at the time:  Spirit of Elisha and Burned Toast.

My Twin told me she was here:

 

(1 + 5 + 5 = 11, 11)

Three (3) sevens (7) in the last three (3) days.

Seven is a complete number.

777

 

Those are the facts. 

Sap

I believe many Christians see themselves as separated from the Jews.  Some believe God abandoned the Jews because they killed Jesus.  But are those notions true?

I don't think they are, and am convinced that kind of thinking is grave error.  You can consider my reasoning by reading my posts about Paul's Mystery.

The Apostle Paul wrote a letter, "to all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be his holy people" (Romans 1:7 NIV, in part).  He told non-Jews how they could become part of Israel through Jesus, and he used an olive tree as a metaphor...

...if the root [of the olive tree] is holy, so are the branches.

If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but tremble. For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.

Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!  (Romans 11:16-24 NIV)

Isaiah used the olive tree metaphor when he talked about the coming Messiah...

A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.

In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his resting place will be glorious.  (Isaiah 11:1 and 11:10 NIV)

Jesse was King David's father.  David was the second King of Israel.  When Israel sinned and adopted the practices of the peoples of the land, God sent them into exile.  He cut back "the olive tree" to a stump.  Jesus is the Branch that Isaiah said would come from the "stump of Jesse."

I believe we must be grafted into Israel if we are to be part of the Kingdom of Israel.  The "root" supports us.  If we are not part of the "Israel tree," we will not receive the nourishment we need, and we will eventually die spiritually.

Dead stumps and branches can look alive...for a while.  I cut down and dug up this buckthorn plant from my property, and I set it out by the street for the city to haul away.  It sprouted leaves while it sat by the curb, completely uprooted.  It appeared to be alive even though it was dead.

Twenty years ago, I was at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Washington, D.C., right after I read the book about Paul's Mystery.  While standing there, I left¹ my US citizenship (in my heart) and became a citizen of spiritual Israel.  (I am not talking about the secular State of Israel.)  It was the hardest thing I had ever done, and it changed me.  I had to live someplace, so I retained my US passport and other credentials, but in my heart I was an Israelite.  Still am.

Shortly after that, I left my job and had my Burned Toast experience.  Years later, I was set free.

Recently², I learned:

1. A citizen is actually someone who is obliged to serve the government.
2. Most Americans have been tricked into identifying as a US Citizen and/or citizen of the US.
3. Those people actually have no rights under the Constitutions (plural).
4. They are a subject of the British Monarch and/or a slave of the Roman Catholic Pope.

This all happened after the American Civil War, which was not actually a declared war, but was instead a mercenary conflict between two government services corporations.  Most Americans should be considered sovereign state nationals, but the government presumes they are citizens in order to secretly mistreat them.  Apparently, being a "citizen" has lots of disadvantages in the current situation.   I alluded to the effective "slavery" in my Larvae and Placebos posts.

I now feel pretty good about my decision at the Tomb, and realize the Holy Spirit led me to do something I knew nothing about twenty years before it became known to me.  I believe that action spiritually set me free from some things, and it grafted me into some authority most people do not experience.

I am telling you this because I love you and want you to experience the amazing things and freedom I seem to have... by the grace of God.  I believe I am grafted into the stump of Jesse and I am receiving the πιότητος (piotētos, meaning "fatness" or nourishment) from that tree.   Many people I encounter have faith and knowledge of Jesus, and some have discovered they have access to incredible spiritual power as they heal the sick and cast out demons, but the Darkness persistently seems to prevent them from understanding the things I try to proclaim about Paul's Mystery.  Do people not understand this because they are not grafted into the Israel Olive Tree?

Please take these ideas into your prayer closet and ask God what He thinks about them, and what He wants you to do.  I believe it is critically important.

All glory to God.

UPDATE, September 29, 2021...

²I corrected some things in this paragraph after spending some time learning about actual history and the real American government.

 

UPDATE, October 13, 2021...

I will make further corrections, as necessary, as I learn more.

 

UPDATE, December 11, 2022...

¹Altered this word to be more precise and to avoid any misunderstandings.  I had previously used the word "renounced," but have since learned that word has lawful and legal implications that I did not know about nor consider at the time I was standing at the Tomb and when I originally wrote this post.  My intentions were, and are, in line with this...

And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.  (Matthew 19:29 NKJV)

As I discussed in the Paul's Mystery posts, one of Jesus' names is Israel.

Nothing was ever put onto the public record, and as I stated I had no intention of officially changing anything in the temporal world.  I remain at peace with everyone and consider michigan to be my home while I live and breath on this earth.

My spiritual identification with Israel is my religious belief, one of my unalienable rights.

 

Renumbered the second footnote to maintain correct order in the main text.

UPDATE, January 14, 2023...

I believe I am a part of the Diaspora.  My Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language, World Publishing Company, Cleveland and New York ©1964 defines it as:

1. the dispersion of the Jews after the Babylonian exile.
2. the Jews thus dispersed.
3. in the time of the apostles, Jewish Christians who lived outside of Palestine.

I am a Jew, one who believes in and follows Jesus but does not practice Judaism.

I am clarifying these things because I believe God intends for me to serve in the Michigan Assembly as a State Citizen, which does not allow dual citizenship.  At the same time, I still believe in and identify with Spiritual Israel, of which Jesus is the King.  He is the King of kings.

See my discussion in the September 3, 2022 update of the Authority post about what appears to be "Israel" today in the part of the world called Palestine.  There is no land/soil jurisdiction of Jesus' Israel right now, and most adherents of Judaism would probably agree with that.

I presume Jews are welcome to serve in the Michigan Assembly along with Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Mormons, Scientologists, Pagans, Atheists, etc.
