“You can be certain!” “Why, of course!” “It’s a sure thing!” “You can count on it!” are actually phrases of great comfort and reassurance. People long for certainty, for predictability, for confidence and not just in themselves but in those around them. They long for stability, for reliability, and for longevity. And yet, it seems that more than ever, certainty in almost ANYTHING is in short supply. You cannot count on ANYTHING anymore! Whether it’s your favorite restaurant surviving the next downturn, your job surviving the next reorganization, your kids making it to adulthood without a life-threatening chronic disease, your new refrigerator working when the warranty expires, etc. You would think you could at least count on the sun rising tomorrow, but the sun might be our very demise! Is this all an exaggeration? Am I reading too much into all this? What is Creator’s perspective?

Years ago when Brian was doing some research through old newspapers of the 1960s, he was struck by how many businesses were celebrating “their 100th year” in business. It seemed like you couldn’t pick up a paper or magazine without some local establishment making this boast. Family businesses were truly FAMILY businesses. Children took over from their parents, grandchildren from their parents, and on and on. Businesses grew slowly, if at all, but what business they had was stable, predictable, and reliable. Their suppliers were often in business as long or longer than they were. Things changed slowly, if at all. And when they did change, it was considered progress with an expectation for improvement, otherwise WHY CHANGE? Store layouts often never changed for a century or more. For a place like a hardware store, this was important so things could be located quickly. But now frequent change is the norm. Was this movement away from this kind of stability inevitable with progress? What can Creator tell us?

Continuing on this line of questioning, today “reinventing your image” is all the rage. Businesses, organizations, and even schools change their logos often—their mascots, color schemes, building designs, interior layouts, you name it, ALL of it undergoes FREQUENT transformation. It seems like the paint barely gets a chance to dry before the “pardon our dust” signs are out in force again. It always seemed wasteful to me, not to mention inconvenient and bothersome. If these businesses really wanted to please me, moving the mayonnaise from aisle 2 to aisle 5 is not a way to do that. I’m sure every college-level marketing course teaches that “studies say” this is all necessary and beneficial to the bottom line. But is it REALLY? I hate feeling like a stranger in my own town. Am I alone in that sentiment? What can Creator tell us?

Then there’s the “model year.” MODEL YEAR? When did that become a “thing?” You hardly get a chance to become familiar with the current inventory before it’s all swept away and replaced by the “new models.” Wouldn’t a MODEL DECADE make more sense, especially when you consider how much things like tooling costs? Again, it seems incredibly wasteful to spend so much time and energy changing EVERYTHING. It’s exhausting and even disorienting. Not to mention trying to keep any of these items working beyond the warranty. Parts are in limited supply, and many items are now being made to be “non-repairable” and disposable, cell phones being a prime example. Do I really need a new phone EVERY YEAR? And nowadays the new stuff is noticeably inferior to the stuff it’s replacing. But people just assume all this is natural and inevitable. What is Creator’s perspective?

When someone thinks of culture and tradition, the things that come to mind are consistency, predictability, longevity, and expectation of continuance. Christmas decorations were something you bought ONCE and reused year after year. Only the tree changed every year, but it was always the same kind of tree, the same size, and was always in the same corner. But traditions of any kind seem to be an endangered species in the Modern Era, to the point where many are even derided. Thanksgiving is more about football than being thankful. Memorial Day is for barbeque and beer, not visiting the gravesides of the fallen. It’s “Happy Holidays!” not “Merry Christmas!” The home-cooked meal is now in a microwave package. There are young adults who have never boiled an egg or even made toast. And again, many just assume and will even argue that all this is normal and inevitable. Really? All of human history seems to suggest otherwise. What is Creator’s perspective?

Political loyalty draws a great deal from both culture and tradition. People like to think they can count on their political parties, and have confidence in the future as a result. But we enter an election season where absolutely no one, either supporters or detractors, can say with certainty whether a year from now Trump will be in the White House or the “Big House,” in prison, in other words. Republicans used to be considered “the war hawks” and the Democrats “the party of love and tolerance.” But it feels like roles have reversed. Nevertheless, people are still desperate to believe and have confidence in their party, no matter what, it seems. But such confidence has become fragile, and doubts and alarm in people growing with the breakdown and erosion of expectations. What can Creator tell us?

The one thing that is noticeable about the wars going on these days is that none of them have seemingly gone as expected. When a certain outcome is expected, somehow, it comes up short. Violence appears when it’s least expected, and just as mysteriously doesn’t materialize when it IS expected. The use of cell phones and pagers as bombs was something almost no one anticipated. People dread the thought of a nuclear exchange, but maybe they should be more worried about the phone in their pocket. Are these wars being conducted in such a way as to maximize everyone’s CONFUSION and paranoia? What can Creator tell us?

Google provides this as a definition of gaslighting: “Gaslighting is a type of psychological abuse that involves manipulating someone into questioning their own reality, memories, or sanity. The goal of gaslighting is to gain power and control over the victim, and it can be very effective.” Gaslighting is often done over a long period of time, so the victim may not realize they are being manipulated. Gaslighters may lie about everything, not just big things that could be covered up. Gaslighters may deny things that happened or promises they made. Gaslighters may question the victim’s memory of events, even if the victim remembers them accurately. It seems as if there is a unified strategy on the part of the interlopers, the Extraterrestrial Alliance. Is that what’s REALLY going on, the absolute historic GASLIGHTING of humanity? What is Creator’s perspective?

Predicting the future has always been VERY problematic, especially in an environment of rapid flux and even chaos. Is it “controlled” chaos? We know the interlopers are time travelers, and if their agenda was truly the gaslighting of humanity, then the ability to predict the future is what is, in fact, in the “crosshairs.” It’s the very attack vector the interlopers go to pains to maximize. Could this be a possible explanation as to why even divine predictions of the near future have been so uncharacteristically inaccurate? If the interlopers are, in fact, making a Herculean effort to create the most unpredictable reality for humanity imaginable, then abrupt change of plans would not be the exception but the RULE. Creator has attributed this to the “fickleness” of the interlopers, but fickleness seems pretty benign in contrast to an intentional campaign to be as unpredictable as possible. What can Creator tell us?

In an era where people cannot seemingly have faith in anything, it is all the more imperative to have faith in the divine. Can Creator share with us how Empowered Prayer, the Lightworker Healing Protocol, Deep Subconscious Mind Reset, and Divine Life Support are the genuine means to connect with TRUE reality and have protection and clarity while the gaslighting of humanity grows to its inevitable finale?

I have been frequently disheartened to see the color gray a major choice of designers for years now, for home exteriors, interior walls, furniture, countertops, and kitchen cabinets. That has happened before, and then it goes out of favor. Growing up, it always seemed to me a utilitarian World War II legacy embraced by institutions, with battleships, school lockers, and steel office furniture painted gray, not to mention the dreariness of overcast skies, especially over long winters. Gray seems more to have an absence of color than a color. Is that decorating trend orchestrated to happen, or perhaps a karmic legacy from life experience?
