EASTER!
Just another pointless day. We bring to it whatever purpose we can. The three days of Christian Easter, like Christmas, have morphed mainly into an exercise of commercial money-making and social entertainment, far removed from any genuine spiritual content. The inner spiritual life requires dedication and hard work, neither of which I am particularly good at.
Most of us just 'muddle through' day after day, meeting the challenges of life as they arise and coping with them as best we can. But everyone I believe has that secret space of personal faith that hopefully makes them more human and contented. After all as St Paul said, "Godliness and contentment is great gain. We brought nothing into the world, and can take nothing out so be content with food and clothes".
Of course we think of those that don't even have that!
Whether Christian or not, and it's obviously lost its appeal to the current time and generation, the Easter story remains poignant and relevant. In a weekend event it manages to encapsulate best and worst in human affairs and actions.
Unjustified hatred, deception, duplicity, treachery, injustice, anger, violence, murder on the one hand; passivity, forgiveness, holiness on the other.
The human account of events and of the resurrection are convincing in their detail and simplicity, sufficient to initiate a movement of belief that has lasted more than two centuries.
Both on the purely human level it remains a disturbing but rewarding challenge personally, socially and internationally, as we witness the same evil evidenced in the world.
Easter comes around annually and its message has to be relearned every year.
And so it continues....
Jesus' Seven Last Words:
“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” — Luke 23:34.
“Today shalt thou be with Me in paradise.” — Luke 23:43.
About three o'clock, Jesus shouted, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” which means,
“My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?” — Matthew 27: 46
“I thirst.” — John 19:28
“It is finished.” — John 19:30
“Father, into Thy hands I commend My spirit.” — Luke 23:46
"What I have written, I have written."
John 19
1 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. 2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, 3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands. 4 Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him. 5 Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! 6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him. 7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. 8 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; 9 And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. 10 Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? 11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. 12 And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. 13 When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! 15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. 16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. 17 And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: 18 Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. 19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. 20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. 21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. 22 Pilate answered, "What I have written I have written."
The longer we live, the more we realise that it is the dead who influence our lives more than the living. The longer we live, the more we realise that life is just an aberration and illusion, into which we are locked for a miniscule period of time, the only purpose of which is to strive to do as little harm and and as much good as we are able, and to spend our lives trying to work out what they are. Success can only be gauged by the degree of inner contentment and acceptance of one's circumstance. Yet struggle and suffering are common to all men, mitigated only by faith and stoicism, knowing that all things must pass, and we too. We cannot escape ourselves or the egocentricity it imposes but we must also comprehend how we are just a tiny fraction of human consciousness and part of an incredible web of life that inhabits the earth, both past and present. We have to learn to sublimate our egos, to rise above the material, to enter a transcendent plane, where time and place lose their meaning and we become again what we were before the universe began. In sublimating the transient, we open the door to the eternal, and become better experientially as a result.

What are banks up to?
(I think we should be told.)
I was told a bank (different) employee they had been told not to go behind the counter, and instead let the queue grow so that people will be forced to use machines. A different employee refused to enter a cheque and could only help me use the machine. Someone else said there was a rumour a cashier would only be available in future to deal with amounts of more than £800 . When I suggested to the employee that this would involve redundances, she replied they would still be needed to service the machines and help people use them! This is a coordinated trend across the whole sector (so much for competition) to close branches and force people on-line and to rely on machines (if available) It is only a small step to not being able to access your money at all and if cash is is withdrawn altogether we shall be utterly controlled by a card and the bankers behind it. Trudeau and Canada have already demonstrated how this can be used for social and behavioural control. Roll on the NWO and modern slavery. It is not old statues that need to be pulled down but new ones.
Friday 22 March 2024
Catherine, Princess of Wales (42) announces she has been diagnosed with cancer.
Meanwhile a 'crocus attack' in Moscow.
So the American Embassy in Moscow specifically warned its citizens to stay away from musical events, whilst Russia's own security apparatus knew nothing about it? The usual red flags.
"On the same day, the US embassy in Moscow issued a public warning to American citizens warning them to stay away from concerts because of a heightened terror threat.The four suspects do not appear to have had previous convictions or security alerts attached to their names, which may partly explain why Russian authorities failed to detect the plot." https://www.aol.co.uk/news/russia-weighs-return-death-penalty-120051384.html
Four men were identified as Dalerdzhon Mirzoyev, 32, Saidakrami Rachabalizoda, 30, Shamsidin Fariduni, 25, and Mukhammadsobir Faizov, 19. all from Tajikistan. They were filmed being tortured, presumably in brutal retribution and to extract confessions. Who would not admit to a crime in such circumstances? But yet again I pose the question, were they really the perpatrators or just the usual convenient stooges, in an event carried out by some intelligence organisation or another (Russian/ American/ Ukrainian/Israeli) and for what purpose? You choose.
This is sad news and must be distressing for her husband, children and immediate family. It comes hot on the heals of a number of emotional and health-related shocks affecting the Royal Family within only a few years and the beginning of this. The death of the former Queen and her Consort; Sarah Ferguson, the ex-wife but current partner of disgraced Andrew, Duke of York diagnosed with breast cance and then within months of malignant melanoma; the newly appointed King Charles III diagnosed with an unspecified malignant cancer; the shocking self inflicted it would appear, death of the husband of the Duke and Duchess of Kent's daughter, who was formerly in a relationship with Catherine's sister and Maid of Honour, Pippa Middleton; and now this announcement in relation to Kate herself. It also follows a certain amount of controversy and speculation over a 'doctored' photograph was released of Kate with her three children, in the absence of her husband and her engagement and wedding ring, the former having belonged to Diana, Princess of Wales, who died in a Paris car crash in 1997.
It's a good question....There are few PR mistakes in Royal circles:
24.3.2024: The public, via the media, and 'experts' is being CONDITIONED! The message that I have heard repeatedly is that "one in two can expect to get cancer". In other words you will be lucky if you don't! No one actually poses the question why this should be so? We now have three members of the royal circle diagnosed with a malignant version of the disease. It certainly poses some questions if the information is reliable. Sarah Ferguson back with disgraced Andrew, was the first to report breast cancer and subsequently melanoma, but was seen looking fit and cheerful at the recent memorial service for the late King of Greece, at which Andrew also took a leading role but which William failed to attend. There are some strange aspects to Catherine's stated health status. She had what was clearly her serious operation on the 17th January. Yet it has been reported chemo-therapy treatment did not begin until the end of February. Presumably the six week delay was to allow a period of recovery from the operation. Conversely, if this information is accurrate, it means that at the time her statement was recorded, she had been having the treament for at least three weeks, yet she appears very healthy with none of the usual distressing side effects including hair loss which usually occurs after two or three weeks. She said, "However tests after the operation found cancer had been present. My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment. The chemotherapy treatment began in late February." (1 day ago) It certainly gives rise to questions in the mind doesn't it? https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/24108991/kate-middleton-catherine-wales-cancer-trends-diagnosis-youth
Purely coincidental of course.
Those of us who have studied high-profile events with suspicious manipulative elements, have noted how frequently Fridays and the number '22' has appeared, either as a date or some other feature. The current announcement that the Catherine, the Princess of Wales has had cancer, by which we must assume is malignant cancer, diagnosed following her earlier abdominal surgery on the 17th January, has happen on Friday 22nd March (22.3.2024) After nine weeks Catherine on Wednesday 20th, recorded her public message that has gone viral on both news channels and Internet, pushing all the other stories off the front page. Last Wednesday 20th March, 2024, was also the Vernal or Spring Equinox.
1.4.2024: The King, wearing a blue tie with boats on it, told another well-wisher that he was “very touched” that she had come to Windsor Castle to see him.
Another told him: “Happy Easter your Majesty, never give in, keep going strong,” to which the King responded: “I just obey my instructions.”
Following the five-minute walkabout, he was driven back to the castle in his state Bentley with the Queen.
AngelaTeresa Power Disney Maybe. Who knows these days. Could all be fake just to stop people criticising Israel in Gaza. Amazing the Catherine announcement was made public just as the 'Crocus' attack was taking place. The Mirror today, was full of the former but not a word about the latter. I found it very suspicious that yesterday the NYT already knew who carried out the Russian attack. How would that be possible. The police can't even solve a burglary, yet America can solve a crime on the other side of the world in minutes. In Britain PoW recorded her message on the Spring Solstice. In Russia 40 people (now sixty) note numbers, killed at a CROCUS concert. Manchester was fake. The Bataclan was weird. All three involve controversial pop stars or groups. Too many formulaic coincidences including the ISIS now apparently coming from Afghanistan - how convenient !
Rather coincidentally, Vogue ran an article by Vivianne CROWLEY (no less) entitled, "How To Celebrate The Spring Equinox, According To A Wiccan High Priestess". She is described as a "psychology lecturer and Wiccan priestess who shares practical advice on how to tune into the natural world – and general magic – around you." It is illustrated with the above photograph dated 14.3.2024. Whether intentional or not, the timing of Catherine's announcement certainly has occultist parallels.
But there are other coincidental aspects to the timing of the announce, bearing in mind its very predictable effect domestically and world-wide. Elsewhere we have the more traditional 'Friday the twenty-second event' occurring. In Moscow at almost the very same time a devastating terrorist attack in the tradition mode. Here is the New York Times report verbatim. (It saves me typing it all again!) Note the appearance of '40' again. It is conveniently blamed on an Afghanistan ISIS group that the Times is immediately informed USA intelligence was aware of and of the plan to carry out the attack! Astounding! Didn't it inform the Russian authorities then? It sounds suspiciously like the USA is implicated to be able so quickly to attach responsibility. Rather like 9/11 don't you think?
Also of course Israel has been having a rather rough press over its 'humanitarian efforts' in Gaza. What better way to reignite anti-Muslim sentiment in Russia and deflect from both Gaza and Ukraine, or some other mad plan hatched up in the military/industrial office of the Pentegon? The Russian outrage follows a very Bataclan/Manchester etc etc script but Catherine's news certainly hits it off the top spot. Were the two coordinated? We shall never know but it is worth bearing in mind as world events roll on in their chaotic but paradoxically planned way.
Several camouflage-clad gunmen opened fire at a popular concert venue on the outskirts of Moscow on Friday night, killing at least 40 people and wounding more than 100, Russia’s top security agency said, which would make it the deadliest attack in the capital region in years.
A branch of the Islamic State claimed responsibility, and U.S. officials confirmed the claim shortly afterward. The United States collected intelligence in March that Islamic State-Khorasan, known as ISIS-K, the branch of the group based in Afghanistan, had been planning an attack on Moscow, according to officials.
As gunshots boomed through the building containing the concert hall, one of the largest and most popular music venues in the Moscow area, fire erupted in the upper floors of the structure, and the blaze intensified after an explosion, the news agency RIA Novosti reported.
Multiple videos posted on social media and verified by The New York Times show several people entering the venue, Crocus City Hall — a sprawling shopping and entertainment complex in suburban Krasnogorsk, northwest of Moscow — and firing rifles. Other videos show people running past bloodied victims lying on the floor or screaming at the sound of gunshots, while photos show bodies lined up outside the building.
The shooting occurred minutes before a sold-out performance by the veteran rock band Piknik was scheduled to start. The concert hall has 6,200 seats, according to its website.
A woman who gave her name only as Marina said in a text message that she was standing in line for the concert outside, in the cold, about 8 p.m. when people without overcoats started running out of the building, saying they had heard shots.
“As soon as I heard automatic rifle shots I started running, too,” she said.
The state news agency TASS reported that emergency services had dispatched helicopters to try to rescue people from the building’s roof, where flames and smoke could be seen billowing into the night sky. The roof near the concert stage was collapsing around 10 p.m. local time, RIA Novosti reported.
Russia’s Investigative Committee, the country’s equivalent to the F.B.I., said it had opened a criminal case into a terrorist act and dispatched its investigators to the site. RIA Novosti said that a special police unit was working inside the building.
So convenient?
Mykhailo Podolyak, a top adviser to Ukraine’s presidential office, said in a video statement that “Ukraine has absolutely nothing to do” with the attack. John F. Kirby, a spokesman for President Biden’s National Security Council, told reporters that the White House had “no indication at this time that Ukraine or Ukrainians were involved.”
The attack appeared to be one of the deadliest in Russia in decades. The deadliest was the Beslan school siege of 2004, when more than 330 people were killed as Chechen militants, who took more than 1,000 people hostage, battled Russian forces in a school in southern Russia. Two years earlier, militants seized a crowded Moscow theater in 2002; more than 100 hostages died in that standoff, after Russian special forces pumped an aerosol version of fentanyl into the theater in an attempt to incapacitate the gunmen.
Alina Lobzina contributed reporting.
Here are the published images of the attackers. You would be hard pressed to identify any of them so how were the alleged attackers identified and so speedily? Where were they arrested. Given that Russian security were suposedly taken by surprise, how clever they were to find them. Or was it just four innocent immigrants who could be made to confess to anything? We have seen the formula so many times before.
22.3.2024: Interesting numerology: The initial 'Hamas Assault', claimed unbelievably by Israel as a 'Surprise Attack', has some interesting embedded numbers, which of course are wholly coincidental. The incursion took place on Monday 7th October, 2023, thus 7.10.2023.
7+10+20+23 = 60. Sixty as a number has had particular significance since ancient Sumarian and Babylonian times, giving rise to the use of twelve (5x12) and sixty as the basis of calender and time (months, hours, minutes and seconds) In England units of dozen and score were adopted and life itself from ancient times was indicated as 'three score years and ten'. The numbers 3 and 10 are important Masonic numbers and 23 is referred to as the 'Enigma Number'. (Some might remember it appeared in the high profile dissapearance and recovery of Nicola Bulley) Sixty is somewhat unique in being divisible by no less than eleven integers - eleven itself being significant to events! (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 15, 20 and 30) If we take just 7+10+23 = 40, we have a number particularly significant to Jews, Muslims and Christians, repeatedly appearing in their respective sacred texts. (I could give numerous examples) Just so happens that the date chosen to facilitate the invasion, used as a pretext to apply the Old Testament injunction of God, via Samuel to King Saul, to slay without mercy the Amalekites, utilizes these numbers. Of course Amalak was the grandson of Esau, who Jacob (later given the name of Israel) deprived of his inheritance by deception. Anything here sound familiar? https://biblehub.com/1_samuel/15-3.htmhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/60_(number)https://veaterecosan.blogspot.com/.../mr-blobby-at-work...
