Arcane shares how to deal with learning about past, present and future lifetimes

I was reading this as a part of editing for eventual publishing and realized this was a very useful thing for people who believe in Past and future lifetimes to know about. Even if you don't believe in past, present and future lifetimes it is something to consider because you are going to meet many people who do believe in things like this likely during your lifetime.

In 1980 I didn't believe that one could remember a "Future" lifetime but only past lifetimes. This is why it took me to 1998 and 1999 when I was preparing to die (but I didn't) that I realized what a soul really was in regard to time and space. I realized a soul doesn't live naturally in time and space but can while it is wearing a human body. But, a soul's natural state is not in either time or space but in another state of being entirely. I think angels also live in this place with no time and no space also even though they also can visit time and space when they need to.

“Well, Celeste, let me share this with you. Before the war ended between New Deva and Isfahel I was on earth and the Light Emissaries of Earth revealed some of my past lives and some of my future lives to me. And I was in a similar state that you are in now. The best thing that one can do is to meditate or contemplate or just sit back and try to interface it into your life in some way if you don’t meditate. Then just while you are going to sleep think about it and try to see if it’s true or not. Try to see what it all means. If it rings true, then find out what you need to do with it. You just must figure a way to deal with it. That is really the important thing after all. If something is useful keep it. If it’s not useful then discard it. Or if it is not useful now but might be in the future then keep it somewhere in your mind in case it is useful sometime in the future. Use your mind. Use your intuition. Use your instincts. God created us as totally amazing beings. And each of us desperately needs to find out who we are in the universe. What use are we to God, the universe, ourselves, and others? That may be one of the most important questions a soul ever asks whether it is in a human body or not.” 

 

“You really are a priest. Aren’t you Arcane?” 

 

“Of course. What did you expect from a New Deva Dragon of Compassion.” 

 

“Oh my God! Is that what you called yourselves?” Laughed Celeste. 

 

Arcane laughed and said, “I feel a cultural discontinuity coming on.” 

 

“It’s okay Arcane, remember we’re both Galactic Cultural relativists. We couldn’t have become Timekeepers otherwise. They don’t let Galactic bigots in the time core.” 

 

At this they both laughed. She said, “Dragons of Compassion, the words create a complete paradox in my mind.” 

 

“That’s the idea. We chose carefully that Koan to create a paradox so that beings would either love us or mess their pants at the mention of us.” 

 

“It works for me, Arcane. Listening to you I feel like I’m watching anthropological tapes of the thousands and perhaps millions of types of ministers and priests on earth and thousands of other planets. You have a good line. Whether it’s true or not I really will have to wait and see. But I really feel you and I are meant to be together.” 

 

“I agree.” Said Arcane. He deeply loved and respected this woman. That she could address things he could not even dare speak out loud on New Deva only made him love her more. Amazing! So quickly she had ferreted out the paradox of the Dragons of Compassion. 

 

After all the main tenant of the Scroll of a Thousand Planets says, “If you can’t laugh at your own existence, you will never be enlightened." The most enlightened beings he had met shared that one thing in common. They laughed a lot. They had learned not to take everything too seriously. Life was a game after all. It was a serious game, but it was still a game that God played for entertainment. 

 

 

The October 7th Attack in some ways to me is similar to 9-11 here in the U.S.

How? In that we knew that there were plans to do something big. They had already tried to blow up the World Trade Center from the base and failed because their charges were not big enough to bring down the World Center Towers before this. Also, Osama Bin Laden was a trained engineer and so he likely did stress tests to see what could happen if he did this.

Likewise, the U.S. Government knew something big was coming terrorist wise but didn't know for sure when it would occur. 

In both the U.S. case of 9-11 and the Israeli case of October 7th the main problem was the arrogance of policy makers and security planners and the inability to think (outside the box) of ordinary things that had already happened.

For example, who would have thought that Hamas soldiers would fly in at 50 to 100 feet on Motorized paragliders with a pilot and a gunnner carrying a Kalashnikov automatic weapons while missiles flew just 100 feet or so over their heads while all this was happening as a cover for what was actually going on. The missiles were shot over the heads of the men on the Motorized para-glider. By going under the radar of the Israeli forces by flying so low and simultaneously firing rockets to cover the entrance of the Paragliders you can see how all this was accomplished. Then they used heavy equipment to bring down any electric fences or barriers between Gaza and Israel.

Likewise, before 9-11 who would have thought of (except for deviant thinking terrorists) of turning passenger planes into Jet Fuel Bombs or missiles and flying 2 of them into the World Center buildings and one into the Pentagon?

So, October 7th is Israel's 9-11 is what I'm saying here. Very similar effect on both countries except that in Israel it might cost the very existence of Israel for a variety of reasons. Also, Hamas or other terrorist groups might try something like this again under cover of missiles with a powerful effect at any time too in the future.

This is likely that worst thing that has happened to Israel since it started in 1948 in May.

Why are instincts and intuitions helpful?

No animal or human usually survives very well without them. For example, your survival instincts often are put aside through military training and this can interfere with survival too especially in large battle scenes. However, I suppose the opposite could be true with the type of training a "Rambo" might receive to go alone into situations and come out okay.

But, either way I don't think it's very useful in ordinary life to have some of these skills. It is counterproductive often to the survival of a person and their family when someone with extreme physical and instinctual skills trained to be like this who then gets PTSD from one or more difficult experiences and this can be true whether it is a soldier, Sailor, Police person or even firemen or ambulance driver or other Emergency services around the world.

But, generally speaking if you tune into your instincts and  intuitions it can allow you to live a long time. Why?

Because most of what it takes to survive as a human being might not be logical or reasonable in many situations you encounter. So, being close to the land and not being too citified is one way to live a long time.

For example, whether you are training to be a soldier or polieman or fireman or doctor or Lawyer or whatever, unless you balance that with your instincts and your intuitions then it might not be useful to you or anyone else in the short or long run. 

Without our instincts and intuitions we are like Tigers in a cage and out of our natural elements in nature.

Without the naturalness of nature in our lives we all perish slowly or quickly. This is one reason why I have always tried to live away from the bigger cities, either out in the country or in the suburbs near to forests and oceans and or mountains. In this way I am closer to nature where we all came from. To live a long and healthy life this is an important thing to consider.

Analysis Santos’ expulsion could endanger Republican House majority

After deception and drama, Santos’ expulsion could endanger Republican House majority

CNN  — 

New York Republican Rep. George Santos’ short and dazzling political career came to an end on Friday as a supermajority of his colleagues executed a maneuver as rare as the man they’re poised to evict from the House.

No less than two-thirds of the chamber voted for a resolution from Ethics Committee Chair Michael Guest, a fellow Republican from Mississippi, that made Santos only the third person to be booted from Congress since the Civil War – a dishonorable distinction previously reserved for convicted felons.

Santos is not one – at least, not yet. He’s been charged with a litany of wrongdoing, from fraud and money laundering to theft and stealing donors’ identities. His list of offenses, some alleged and others confirmed (often by him), runs much longer and places him comfortably among the foremost rogues and reprobates to make a cameo on America’s nearly 250-year-old political scene.

ADVERTISING

In less sweeping terms, Santos’ many transgressions are sure to endanger the GOP House majority, thin before and now looking downright bony after his number was taken off the board.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, will kickoff a special election to replace him in the coming days.

The 56-page ethics report that ultimately doomed Santos, who recently described himself as the “Mary Magdalene of United States Congress” and dared members to kick him out, does a thorough – and, befitting its subject – colorful job ticking off his “constant series of lies,” misrepresentations and, most seriously, fraudulent spending.

The authors of the subcommittee’s submission, in perhaps their most admirable achievement, summarized Santos’ grand political deception in a single sentence.

“Santos’ congressional campaigns were built around his backstory as a successful man of means,” they wrote, “a grandson of Holocaust survivors and graduate from Baruch College with a Master’s in Business Administration from New York University, who went on to work at Citi Group and Goldman Sachs, owned multiple properties, and was the beneficiary of a family trust worth millions of dollars left by his mother, who passed years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks as a result of long-term health effects related to being at one of the towers.”

Little of it had been questioned, apart from notes of concern voiced in hyperlocal media, before Santos was elected. The 2022 Democratic nominee, Robert Zimmerman, says he tried to draw attention to Santos’ background, but big news outlets were pre-occupied with higher-profile races. It wasn’t until more than a month after Santos flipped the 3rd Congressional District that The New York Times published a report calling “into question key parts of the résumé.”

The ethics report confirmed what had become clear after months of reporting by journalists around the world: “No part of that backstory has been found to be true.”

What is clear now is that the tens of thousands of donor dollars Santos allegedly spent on Botox, Hermès and OnlyFans is a drop in the bucket compared to what he may cost Republicans, who are already on the backfoot in attempting to keep their House majority ahead of next year’s elections. At the local level too, the backlash to Santos could imperil the GOP’s gains and give new life to Empire State Democrats, who might’ve collapsed in on themselves amid a catastrophic losing streak, if not for the jolt of life provided by the scandal.

Prior to his election, the district had been filled by Democrats, and even under new borders, it took a unique confluence of terrible luck and worse politics by the party to cede it in 2022.

County and state GOP, along with fellow Republican House members from New York, have roundly condemned Santos – but Democrats have spent the year since the scandal cracked the headlines doing their best to link them all back to the freshman congressman.

The connections go beyond the ideological and get to the lifeblood of all politics: power and money.

New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, the fourth-ranking House Republican, is not in danger of being voted out, but her standing in the party – particularly among local machers – came under scrutiny after it was revealed she had privately vouched for Santos.

Multiple Republican operatives in Washington and New York told CNN in January that they found it implausible that Stefanik had not been aware of Santos’ falsehoods. There is no evidence Stefanik knew the truth, and her spokesperson denied claims that she or her staff advised him, but her credibility with some donors took a clear hit.

The sensational nature of the Santos mess has also energized Democratic efforts to unseat the Republican lawmakers elected alongside him in neighboring or nearby battleground districts. Reps. Anthony D’Esposito and Nick LaLota on Long Island, and Mike Lawler, Brandon Williams and Marc Molinaro in districts north of New York City, are all expected to face serious challenges for their seats.

The challengers will have outside help, too, with multi-million dollar efforts by newly formed coalitions, like Battleground New York, already agitating against most of them. The most recent log on the fire: a series of reports showing that Thomas Datwyler, Santos’ second campaign treasurer, also served as the treasurer for the group’s joint fundraising committee in addition to his standalone work for D’Esposito and LaLota. (Santos’ first treasurer, Nancy Marks, resigned before pleading guilty to a conspiracy fraud charge and implicating Santos in a scheme to hoodwink donors.)

Not coincidentally, all five swing-district Republican freshmen voted for Santos’ removal.

How much farther the rot spreads from Santos still remains to be seen. In comments to reporters on Thursday, Santos promised more drama before he leaves town. (Relocation, he said, is imminent and he plans to pack up his Washington apartment on Saturday.)

But before then, in a conversation with a handful of reporters Thursday on Capitol Hill, he vowed to “have fun on my way out,” promising to “name names” and blow the whistle on misbehaving members of Congress. He refused to preview any of the potential allegations, purportedly against “multiple members,” but insisted it will be “enough to make your hair stand.”

“I will do the same thing members did to me,” Santos said, “and go to the Office of Congressional Ethics all throughout today and tomorrow and report everything that I think is relevant to the committee for them to look into.”

As for his private plans, Santos said he would consider writing a tell-all book and perhaps seek out a berth on ABC’s “Dancing With The Stars.” In the meantime, he admitted that possibly going to jail for the “serious (federal) allegations” against him – which he has denied – scared him.

Already indicted, Santos was hit with 10 additional charges last month in a superseding indictment. The new charges include, but are not limited to, embezzling cash from his company and conspiring with Marks to falsify donation totals in order to hit fundraising targets set by national Republicans. His trial date has been set for September 9, 2024.

If the immediate future is full of uncertainty, Santos says he will leave Washington with clarity about his place in the annals of American democracy.

“History will also be remembered as me being looped in with two convicted members and three Confederate members who are expelled for due cause,” Santos said he told House Speaker Mike Johnson. “I’m going to be the first member of Congress expelled without any of those parameters.”

On that point at least, Santos is telling the truth.

By Aria Bendix and Jessica Herzberg

An Ohio county is experiencing a pediatric outbreak of pneumonia, including a number of cases of mycoplasma pneumonia, the illness that has driven recent outbreaks among children in Denmark and China.

The Warren County Health District said Thursday that it has had an unusually high number of pediatric pneumonia cases this fall: 145 since August. The average patient is around 8 years old, according to the district, and the most common symptoms have been cough, fever and fatigue. No deaths have been reported, and the illnesses are no more severe than in previous years, the district said in a news release.

At the same time, cases of mycoplasma pneumonia have reached epidemic levels in Denmark and contributed to a surge of hospital admissions in China. Taiwan’s health ministry said Thursday that older adults, young children and people with poor immunity should avoid travel to mainland China, Hong Kong or Macao because of the rise in respiratory illnesses there, which also include rises in flu, adenovirus and respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been communicating with its colleagues in China “to make sure that we’re understanding the situation there,” its director, Dr. Mandy Cohen, said Thursday at a House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing. 

“We do not believe this is a new or novel pathogen,” she said.

The Warren County Health District also said it didn’t suspect a new or novel respiratory virus was driving the outbreak and noted that “there has been zero evidence of this outbreak being connected to other outbreaks, either statewide, nationally or internationally.”

What is mycoplasma pneumonia?

Mycoplasma pneumonia is caused by a bacterium that can spread through droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The bacterium can linger in the nose and throat without making a person sick, but people may develop pneumonia if it spreads to the lungs. 

Mycoplasma pneumonia is often a milder form of pneumonia, but its symptoms may last longer. Cases tend to peak every three to seven years in the U.S.

“It’s sometimes referred to as ‘walking pneumonia,’ which means you have pneumonia but you’re not sick enough to be in the hospital,” said Dr. James Cutrell, an associate professor of infectious diseases at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.

In older kids and adults, initial mycoplasma infections usually resemble chest colds and may include sore throats, fevers, headaches or worsening coughing that lasts for weeks to months, according to the CDC. Children under age 5 often develop cold-like symptoms, such as sneezing, stuffy noses, sore throats, diarrhea or vomiting.

Young children are more likely to have severe cases that progress to pneumonia, particularly if their immune systems are weak or they’ve never been exposed to the bacterium before. Symptoms of pneumonia — which include cough, fatigue, shortness of breath, fever and chills — usually develop one to four weeks after someone is infected.

The World Health Organization said last week that China has reported an increase in children’s being hospitalized with mycoplasma pneumonia since May. 

Cases in Denmark have also risen since the summer, according to the Statens Serum Institut, a Copenhagen-based research group that's part of the Danish Ministry of Health.

It said Wednesday that mycoplasma pneumonia cases have risen significantly over the last five weeks. Denmark recorded 541 new cases in the week ending Nov. 26 — more than triple the number recorded three weeks previously.

Sweden, Switzerland and Singapore have also recorded more than 100 cases each from April through September, according to a study published last week in The Lancet Microbe.

Why are outbreaks happening now?

Infectious disease experts said the outbreaks are cause for increased surveillance — but not panic — in the U.S.
