Novice wrote:Regarding predicitons, Matthew's view is to not trust specific dates for events to pass...he sees these as almost always negatively influenced and rarely even vaguely true (think of all the end time predictions that have failed to pass in the last 20 years) and yet they always fulfill their main intention to instill fear and indescision in to certain sections of the population.
Some may see this as a cop out but Matthew states that the continuum of posibilities is in a state of constant flux (even more so at this crucial time) and is therefore difficult to pin down when it comes to specific events (his dialogue on the implementation of NESARA being a good case in point).
That's interesting, because Goro Adachi has become quite adept at nailing what events are going to happen on what days. He's gotten so good that he can not only pinpoint a week when a specific event will occur, but sometimes within a two - or even one - day range. And he's not psychic, he just claims to have figured out the way the patterns that make up "the grid" of reality work, which enables him to pinpoint months in advance when stuff will transpire. Makes you wonder. His most recent "prediction" (again, based on figuring out patterns in the chaos and decoding the symbology within the events that surround us) was to predict Donald Rumsfeld stepping down immediately after mid-term elections. And it happened. Interesting. I believe in the idea of probable timelines and an open future - things seem variable - but sometimes I do wonder. I think it is possible to predict thing, and so for me personally, it's one of the criteria I keep in mind when reading the material of someone claiming to be channeling a higher realm entity that's supposed to be able to have access to that sort of information. It's like, Come on...throw me a prediction.
Show me what you're made of! haha

I know, and it's all well and good, but again, who can prove it, you know? That's the problem with after-life discussion. Sylvia Browne also has quite a lot to say about the workings of the afterlife, and it sounds fantastic on paper when I read it. But I'll throw a wrench in the works by mentioning the totally fascinating discussion that occurred here on NR not too long ago where we were all pondering the trickery and deception going on in the afterlife.....how souls are being tricked and trapped in these after life realms, thinking they're in some blissed out heaven when in fact, they're actually being herded by higher beings into these false heavens so they can be fed upon. !!! It was such a fascinating discussion, and as a direct result of it I now also keep that in mind as a criteria for trying to tell who's who and what's what. Is the channeling source just spouting feel-good anecdotes about the afterlife that make you feel warm and fuzzy? Or is it more realistic and balanced? Because multiple people are confirming that there is a lot of confusion and deception happening in the afterlife..things aren't what we're told they are.

A thought that passed through my mind as I read that is, well, that's fine, but why is it that people have a need for this sort of thing? It's kind of obvious I guess....we're uneasy, we want answers, we want somebody to tell us that we have nothing to worry about, and everything is going to be okay. And that's what this material provides. Supposed answers, and a security blanket of comfort. It "resonates" because it mirrors beliefs we agree with while making us feel good.
If I sound lost, like I can't committ myself to any one thing or belief, well, it's because I am!
I don't know what to think about anything anymore. I can weed out the ultimate obvious hooey from the higher quality material, but even then, who's to say what's the real deal. What if the truth about reality is so unbelievable that it would cause us to mentally implode if we knew, and all these sources are all disinfo....!
