Kerth Barker : PRAYER FOR THE CHILDREN.

Later in this article I’m going to say a prayer for the victims of organized child prostitution and I’m going to encourage you to pray also. But first I’m going to briefly talk about this issue.

Recently I did some editing on my book Angelic Defenders & Demonic Abusers – Memoirs of a Satanic Ritual Abuse Survivor. This forced me to think about this issue again.

I’ve heard that in 2018 more than four hundred and twenty-four thousand children in the United States were actually found to be missing. And this trend has been going on for years. But this also is an international problem, and it’s difficult to say how many missing children have been abducted, trafficked and forced into child prostitution. The actual problem is worse than what is suggested by these statistics.

Joseph Stalin sarcastically once said that the death of one man is a tragedy but the death of a million men is a statistic. And that’s the problem with statistics, you can’t relate to them in a personal way. That’s why I wrote my book. I felt that although my personal story wasn’t as bad as what has happened to so many children abused by these groups, I could at least give an understanding to readers of what a child trapped in one of these groups feels like. I wanted people to stop looking at the statistics and to start caring about the children.

Children are often times ruined by this type of abuse.

They are sometimes raped to death. They are sometimes given STDs. They are often tortured and brainwashed. They may be driven into insanity. As adults they often turn to drug and alcohol addiction. Sometimes they survive only to live their lives in quiet desperation. Sometimes they come to identify with their abusers and grow up to become abusers themselves.

But that’s not the worst of it. Some children, after being sexually abused for a period of time, are then tortured to death, so that their blood can be harvested to be consumed by blood drinking addicts.

The world cannot go on denying that this is really happening. The full truth of this is going to come out soon. The Franklin Cover Up, the pizza gate scandal and the Jeffrey Epstein scandal are just the tip of the iceberg.

In my books I talked about a man we called the Baron. Basically he was a smaller version of what Jeffery Epstein was. This all took place decades ago, long before the internet, and since then things have changed. It is now possible for the truth to come out.

You cannot stop a bomb once it explodes, and what I see now is a TRUTH BOMB that is exploding in the world. This TRUTH BOMB is exposing these organized child prostitution groups. This TRUTH BOMB is showing the public how child prostitution is used to blackmail influential persons so that the blackmailers can achieve greater wealth and political power.

So this is a problem that all caring people in the world must be prepared to deal with now. And the first step to solving any problem is to pray about it. If you pray to God first, everything that follows will be according to God’s loving guidance. So I am now going to say a prayer for the children. And I ask that when you are finished watching this video, please say a prayer for the children, in whatever way is right for you. And then tell others to pray.

God Almighty, thank you for the many blessings that you have given to all humanity. Thank you for hearing our prayers. We are now aware that thousands of children in every country around the world are being abused by organized child prostitution rings. But we have faith that your divine power is greater than any power on Earth. Thank you for sending the power of the Holy Spirit to help us in so many ways. Thank you for the army of your angels who guide and defend us. When possible, may the hearts of these child abusers be turned away from evil, back to decency. May the hearts and minds of those in authority be guided by your divine righteousness so that they liberate and help these abducted children. Thank you for having sent your angels to comfort the souls of the hundreds of thousands of children who have already been lost to these evil practices. May you open the eyes of those who refuse to see this problem. May you open the hearts of those who fail to care about these children. May you open the minds of those who refuse to believe in the truth. We pray for all this in the holy name of your son, our Savior, Lord Jesus Christ. Truly.

Please share with your friends. Thank you for reading and remember to pray for the children, in your own way.

Gareth Icke in York: There Will Be An Army Of People With Nothing Left To Lose.

https://davidicke.com/2021/12/30/gareth-icke-in-york-there-will-be-an-army-of-people-with-nothing-left-to-lose/ 

Wisdom of today. (English / Dutch)

Know that the stream of superhuman knowledge and the Deva-Wisdom thou hast won, must, from thyself, the channel of Alaya, be poured forth into another bed.

Know, O Naljor, thou of the Secret Path, its pure fresh waters must be used to sweeter make the Ocean's bitter waves — that mighty sea of sorrow formed of the tears of men.

Alas! when once thou hast become like the fix'd star in highest heaven, that bright celestial orb must shine from out the spatial depths for all — save for itself; give light to all, but take from none.

Alas! when once thou hast become like the pure snow in mountain vales, cold and unfeeling to the touch, warm and protective to the seed that sleepeth deep beneath its bosom — 'tis now that snow which must receive the biting frost, the northern blasts, thus shielding from their sharp and cruel tooth the earth that holds the promised harvest, the harvest that will feed the hungry.

Self-doomed to live through future Kalpas,* unthanked and unperceived by man; wedged as a stone with countless other stones which form the "Guardian Wall" (28), such is thy future if the seventh gate thou passest. Built by the hands of many Masters of Compassion, raised by their tortures, by their blood cemented, it shields mankind, since man is man, protecting it from further and far greater misery and sorrow.

Helaas! Wanneer u eenmaal bent geworden als de vaste ster aan de hoogste hemel, moet dat heldere hemellichaam vanuit de diepten van de ruimte stralen voor allen behalve voor zichzelf, aan allen licht geven maar het niemand ontnemen.

Helaas! Wanneer u eenmaal bent geworden als de zuivere sneeuw in de bergdalen, koud en ongevoelig voor aanraking, maar warm en beschermend voor het zaad dat diep onder haar oppervlak slaapt – dan moet die sneeuw de bijtende vorst en de snijdende noordenwind opvangen en zo voor de gemene invloed daarvan de aarde beschutten die de beloofde oogst bevat, de oogst die de hongerigen zal voeden.

Gedoemd door uzelf om gedurende toekomstige kalpa’s* te leven zonder door de mensen te worden bedankt of opgemerkt; als een steen ingeklemd tussen ontelbare andere stenen die de ‘beschermmuur’28 vormen, zó is uw toekomst als u door de zevende poort gaat. Gebouwd door de handen van vele meesters van mededogen, opgetrokken door hun martelgang, en met hun bloed gemetseld, behoedt deze muur de mensheid sinds de mens mens is, beschermt haar tegen nog meer en veel grotere ellende en verdriet.

Wisdom of today.

 tad viddhi pranipatena

pariprasnena sevaya-
upadeksyanti te jnanam
janainas tattva-darsinah

"Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realized soul can impart knowledge unto you because he has seen the truth."

The first process is that of surrender. We have to find an exalted person and willingly surrender before him. The sastras enjoin that before we take a guru we should study him carefully to find out whether we can surrender to him. We should not accept a guru suddenly, out of fanaticism. That is very dangerous. The guru should also study the person who wants to become a disciple to see if he is fit. That is the way a relationship is established between the guru and disciple. Everything is provided, but we must take up the process seriously. Then we can be trained to become a bona fide disciple. First we must find a bona fide guru, establish our relationship with him, and act accordingly. Then our life will be successful, for the guru can enlighten the sincere disciple who is in darkness.

Everyone is born a rascal and a fool. If we are born learned, why do we need to go to school? If we do not cultivate knowledge, we are no better than animals. An animal may say that there is no need of books and that he has become a guru, but how can anyone obtain knowledge without the study of authoritative books on science and philosophy? Rascal gurus try to avoid these things. We must understand that we are all born rascals and fools and that we have to be enlightened. We have to receive knowledge to make our lives perfect. If we do not perfect our lives, we are defeated. What is this defeat? The struggle for existence. We are trying to obtain a better life, to attain a superior position, and for this we are struggling very hard. But we do not know what a superior position actually is.

Whatever position we have in this material world must be given up. We may have a good position or a bad position; in any case, we cannot remain here. We may earn millions of dollars and think, "Now I am in a good position," but a little dysentery or cholera will finish our position. If the bank fails, our position is gone. So actually there is no good position in this material world. It is a farce. Those who try to attain a better position in the material world are ultimately defeated, because there is no better position. The Bhagavad-gita (14.26) says what the better position is:

mam ca you `vyabhicarena
bhakti-yogena sevate
sa gunan samatityaitan
brahma-bhuyaya kalpate

"One who engages in the spiritual activities of unalloyed devotional service at once transcends the modes of material nature and is elevated to the spiritual platform."

Is there any science that gives us the knowledge by which we may become immortal? Yes, we may become immortal, but not in the material sense. We cannot receive this knowledge in so-called universities. However, there is knowledge contained in the Vedic scriptures by which we may become immortal. That immortality is our better position. No more birth, no more death, no more old age, no more disease. Thus the guru takes on a very great responsibility. He must guide his disciple and enable him to become an eligible candidate for the perfect position-immortality. The guru must be competent to lead his disciple back home, back to Godhead.

His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, is the foremost exponent of Krishna Consciousness in this age and the Founder-Acarya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. He is living in his books and his instructions. It is by his mercy that we are attempting to engage in devotional service.

He reasons ill who tells that Vaisnavas die
When thou are living still in sound!
The Vaisnavas die to live, and living try
to spread the holy name around!
- (Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur 1871)

Days of giving.

Christmas is a period to give a lot. I donated to Madeleine Peyroux' Patreon and bought her Careless Love Deluxe 2 disc album. I also donated to Amnesty International and the devotees of the Hare Krishna movement got a small donation to give food to poor children. I don't have much to spend but I gave what I could. I hope it inspires others to give as well. My Muslim friend Hafid gave me 20 EUR for a book so I ordered "Into the nothing", the spiritual autobiography of Dr Gabriel Cousens.



Update

On monday I will go to my soulfriend Charles John Alexander Jarvis. We are going to record a lo-fi album with a TASCAM recorder. I hope to write some devotional music as well. In 2022 I will donate to Jahnavi Harrison to support her devotional Kirtan music as well as the great Madeleine Peyroux will be supported too. I intent to start writing my new book in Dutch called "Years of devotion". Merry Christmas everyone. Stay healthy and take care of one another.

Charity in the mode of goodness.

 

Bg. 17.20

दातव्यमिति यद्दानं दीयतेऽनुपकारिणे ।
देशे काले च पात्रे च तद्दानं सात्त्विकं स्मृतम् ॥ २० ॥
dātavyam iti yad dānaṁ
dīyate ’nupakāriṇe
deśe kāle ca pātre ca
tad dānaṁ sāttvikaṁ smṛtam

Synonyms

dātavyam — worth giving; iti — thus; yat — that which; dānam — charity; dīyate — is given; anupakāriṇe — irrespective of return; deśe — in a proper place; kāle — at a proper time; ca — also; pātre — to a suitable person; ca — and; tat — that; dānam — charity; sāttvikam — in the mode of goodness; smṛtam — is considered.

Translation

Charity given out of duty, without expectation of return, at the proper time and place, and to a worthy person is considered to be in the mode of goodness.

Purport

In the Vedic literature, charity given to a person engaged in spiritual activities is recommended. There is no recommendation for giving charity indiscriminately. Spiritual perfection is always a consideration. Therefore charity is recommended to be given at a place of pilgrimage and at lunar or solar eclipses or at the end of the month or to a qualified brāhmaṇa or a Vaiṣṇava (devotee) or in temples. Such charities should be given without any consideration of return. Charity to the poor is sometimes given out of compassion, but if a poor man is not worth giving charity to, then there is no spiritual advancement. In other words, indiscriminate charity is not recommended in the Vedic literature.

By practicing bhagavad-bhakti-yoga, one becomes fearless and joyful. Unless one becomes fearless and joyful, he cannot understand the science of God. Bhagavat-tattva-vijñānaṁ mukta-saṅgasya jāyate. This verse refers to those who are completely liberated from the fearfulness of this material world. When one is so liberated, he can really understand the transcendental features of the form of the Lord. Lord Śiva therefore advises everyone to practice bhagavad-bhakti-yoga. As will be clear in the following verses, by doing so one can become really liberated and enjoy spiritual bliss.

ŚB 5.5.2

महत्सेवां द्वारमाहुर्विमुक्ते-
स्तमोद्वारं योषितां सङ्गिसङ्गम् ।
महान्तस्ते समचित्ता: प्रशान्ता
विमन्यव: सुहृद: साधवो ये ॥ २ ॥
mahat-sevāṁ dvāram āhur vimuktes
tamo-dvāraṁ yoṣitāṁ saṅgi-saṅgam
mahāntas te sama-cittāḥ praśāntā
vimanyavaḥ suhṛdaḥ sādhavo ye

Synonyms

mahat-sevām — service to the spiritually advanced persons called mahātmāsdvāram — the way; āhuḥ — they say; vimukteḥ — of liberation; tamaḥ-dvāram — the way to the dungeon of a dark, hellish condition of life; yoṣitām — of women; saṅgi — of associates; saṅgam — association; mahāntaḥ — highly advanced in spiritual understanding; te — they; sama-cittāḥ — persons who see everyone in a spiritual identity; praśāntāḥ — very peaceful, situated in Brahman or Bhagavān; vimanyavaḥ — without anger (one must distribute Kṛṣṇa consciousness to persons who are hostile without becoming angry at them); suhṛdaḥ — well-wishers of everyone; sādhavaḥ — qualified devotees, without abominable behavior; ye — they who.

Translation

One can attain the path of liberation from material bondage only by rendering service to highly advanced spiritual personalities. These personalities are impersonalists and devotees. Whether one wants to merge into the Lord’s existence or wants to associate with the Personality of Godhead, one should render service to the mahātmās. For those who are not interested in such activities, who associate with people fond of women and sex, the path to hell is wide open. The mahātmās are equipoised. They do not see any difference between one living entity and another. They are very peaceful and are fully engaged in devotional service. They are devoid of anger, and they work for the benefit of everyone. They do not behave in any abominable way. Such people are known as mahātmās.

Purport

The human body is like a junction. One may either take the path of liberation or the path leading to a hellish condition. How one can take these paths is described herein. On the path of liberation, one associates with mahātmās, and on the path of bondage one associates with those attached to sense gratification and women. There are two types of mahātmās — the impersonalist and the devotee. Although their ultimate goal is different, the process of emancipation is almost the same. Both want eternal happiness. One seeks happiness in impersonal Brahman, and the other seeks happiness in the association of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As described in the first verse: brahma-saukhyam. Brahman means spiritual or eternal; both the impersonalist and the devotee seek eternal blissful life. In any case, it is advised that one become perfect. In the words of Caitanya-caritāmṛta (Madhya 22.87):

asat-saṅga-tyāga, — ei vaiṣṇava-ācāra
‘strī-saṅgī’ — eka asādhu, ‘kṛṣṇābhakta’ āra

To remain unattached to the modes of material nature, one should avoid associating with those who are asat, materialistic. There are two kinds of materialists. One is attached to women and sense gratification, and the other is simply a nondevotee. On the positive side is association with mahātmās, and on the negative side is the avoidance of nondevotees and women-hunters.

 Bg. 7.28 येषां त्वन्तगतं पापं जनानां पुण्यकर्मणाम् । ते द्वन्द्वमोहनिर्मुक्ता भजन्ते मां दृढव्रता: ॥ २८ ॥ yeṣāṁ tv anta-gataṁ pāpaṁ janānāṁ puṇya-karmaṇām te dvandva-moha-nirmuktā bhajante māṁ dṛḍha-vratāḥ Synonyms yeṣām — whose; tu — but; anta-gatam — completely eradicated; pāpam — sin; janānām — of the persons; puṇya — pious; karmaṇām — whose previous activities; te — they; dvandva — of duality; moha — delusion; nirmuktāḥ — free from; bhajante — engage in devotional service; mām — to Me; dṛḍha-vratāḥ — with determination. 

Translation 

Persons who have acted piously in previous lives and in this life and whose sinful actions are completely eradicated are freed from the dualities of delusion, and they engage themselves in My service with determination. Purport Those eligible for elevation to the transcendental position are mentioned in this verse. For those who are sinful, atheistic, foolish and deceitful, it is very difficult to transcend the duality of desire and hate. Only those who have passed their lives in practicing the regulative principles of religion, who have acted piously, and who have conquered sinful reactions can accept devotional service and gradually rise to the pure knowledge of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Then, gradually, they can meditate in trance on the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is the process of being situated on the spiritual platform. This elevation is possible in Kṛṣṇa consciousness in the association of pure devotees, for in the association of great devotees one can be delivered from delusion. It is stated in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (5.5.2) that if one actually wants to be liberated he must render service to the devotees (mahat-sevāṁ dvāram āhur vimukteḥ); but one who associates with materialistic people is on the path leading to the darkest region of existence (tamo-dvāraṁ yoṣitāṁ saṅgi-saṅgam). All the devotees of the Lord traverse this earth just to recover the conditioned souls from their delusion. The impersonalists do not know that forgetting their constitutional position as subordinate to the Supreme Lord is the greatest violation of God’s law. Unless one is reinstated in his own constitutional position, it is not possible to understand the Supreme Personality or to be fully engaged in His transcendental loving service with determination.

Wisdom of today.

Brahma Vaivarta Purana (in 4.129) (related to Rathantara kalpa) mentions a ten thousand year period, starting from the traditional dating of the Kali Yuga epoch (January 24 at 2:27 AM, 3102 BCE), during which bhakti yogis will be present.

Lord Sri Krishna foretold that this Kali Yuga will be full of extreme hardships for people with ideals and values.

kaler daSa-sahasraaNi
madbhaktaaH saMti bhu-tale
ekavarNaa bhaviSyaMti
madbhakteSu gateSu ca

Translation : For 10,000 years of Kali such devotees of Mine will be present on earth. After the departure of My devotees there will be only one varna, Outcaste !

Found in 4.90.32–33 (Brahma Vaivarta Purana), where Krishna talks to Ganga about upcoming Kali Yuga:

kalau dasa-sahasrAni
haris tiSThati medinI
devAnAM pratimA pUjyA
sAstrANi ca purANakam

Translation : Sri Krisna said: Lord Hari will stay on this earth for the first ten-thousand years of Kali-yuga. Till then gods will be worshipped and the Puranas and scriptures will also be present.

5116 years have elapsed as of 2014 AD taking into account the start date of kaliyuga.
So, the Golden Period ends in 6898 AD and after that all religions and beliefs will vanish.

Healing addiction through bhakti yoga.

YOGA has been taking the Western world by storm for decades, with scores of enthusiasts across the globe squeezing into their spandex to take part in this alternative form of exercise.

Another form of yoga, however, known as ‘bhakti yoga’ has been hailed by thousands of recovering and former drug addicts as a healthy and effective solution to their drug problem.

George Mukesh, a 45-year-old North Coast resident from Etete, near Shakaskraal, said his long and painful journey with drug and alcohol addiction came to an end as a direct result of the healing powers of bhakti yoga.

“I started using drugs when I was about 21-years-old and it led to an 18-year struggle of addiction to cannabis, cigarettes and alcohol.

“I was in and out of rehab for years, and while it did keep me alive at times, I would always relapse when I was released. When I discovered bhakti yoga, however, everything changed and I have been 100% clean for six years now,” said Mukesh.

He added that while the conventional form of yoga is more about exercise, bhakti has a spiritual focus which is routed in a quest for self-realisation and what he calls ‘God realisation’.

“Bhakti means to love or adore God and it requires dedication before it can become a lifestyle. In realising the self, you become aware of the parts of your spirit that need urgent attention, while in realising God, those parts can once again be purified.

It is human nature to seek pleasure, which is what addiction is all about. The reason bhakti is so successful among recovering addicts is that it replaces their addiction to drugs or alcohol with an addiction to the bhakti lifestyle of love and purity,” said Mukesh.

He added that committing oneself to bhakti yoga removes one’s desire to take their drug of choice entirely, but the process is only as fast as you allow it to be.

“For severe addicts like I was, it is crucial to heal as soon as possible - your life depends on it. I have also met a number of former drug users from across the world, who are now my friends and they have put their success solely down to the powers of bhakti yoga.

As an addict, you have two choices; you can decide to live or you can choose to die, and I almost died a few times. Bhakti yoga truly saved my life,” said Mukesh, which he said is all explained in his book Heal Addiction with Bhakti Yoga and Stay High Forever, which is due to be released later this year.

One of Mukesh’s main focuses now is to realise his dream and open a bhakti yoga rehab centre for anyone struggling with addiction as he said he wants to share his successful recovery with those who want and need assistance.

Wisdom of today.



Lord Kṛṣṇa in His devotional form (as Lord Caitanya) is mentioned in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (11.5.32) as follows, with special reference to the saṅkīrtana-yajña:

kṛṣṇa-varṇaṁ tviṣākṛṣṇaṁ
sāṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam
yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair
yajanti hi su-medhasaḥ

“In this Age of Kali, people who are endowed with sufficient intelligence will worship the Lord, who is accompanied by His associates, by performance of saṅkīrtana-yajña.” Other yajñas prescribed in the Vedic literatures are not easy to perform in this Age of Kali, but the saṅkīrtana-yajña is easy and sublime for all purposes, as recommended in Bhagavad-gītā also (9.14).
