Earth Changes, Prophecies & Comments

Originally posted to a Yahoo group, Mary Summer Rain
My mind has been mulling over a few things, basically how everyone is feeling
anxious about both the dream posted that mentioned the date of July 17th, and
the impending major Earth Changes (and the fate of 2004). Some of you have
expressed your thoughts and feelings on the matter, and I am disheartened by
what I've read. I think that what Mary has been trying to convey to us is
getting confused and mixed up. I shall be using statements from Mary in
Pinecones to address what I am talking about or referring to.
First, I'd like to share what my understanding is of how visions (prophecies) of
the future work. There is actually some scientific theory behind my train of
thought. In physics, scientists have realized that at the quantum level (that
would be the subatomic level) that an observer "creates" reality in the sense
that when someone observes an atom/particle they make the wave function of it
collapse into one pathway out of an infinite number of probabilities. This is
what is meant by probabilities. That before the observation is made, there are
an unlimited number of ways for this particle to go. But when we observe it, we
make it pick one. With that being kept in mind....
Let's say you are standing at point A. At this point there are certain
probabilities (or potentials) that occur at point B. You see how things could be
at point B from point A from the vantage point of A. However, traveling to point
B will affect the end result, because as you progress through space-time to
point B, you have made all of these probabilities take a certain pathway (become
reality), whereas at point A they were only potential based upon what you had
already set in motion at point A. I hope I haven't lost anybody here, but the
upshot is, we can see glimpses of the future, but the future is yet to be
decided, which means that as we travel in time to that given point, we can
affect changes to either make that future come to pass, or we can make choices
to avoid that future.
Mary says two things that I think are relevant to this.
"Many of the Earth Changes may never have been a Probability if earthly mortals
had lived and loved for All instead of living and loving for self."
"Part of the message was Hope, so that everyone was given, right up to the last
moment, time to believe and...time to change their ways."
I interpret Mary to be saying in the first statement is that because of how we
have previously lived, we have caused certain Probabilities to manifest, whereas
if we had lived in a true state of Love, these probabilities would not have come
about. However, this does not mean that these probabilities are decided. They
are still a choice, a path to be determined by how we choose to live. In the
next statement she says, we have right up until the moment before the
probability is decided to change our ways. Which leads me to my next point. >
Why are we acting like the Earth Changes are a done deal? Why are we waiting
around for them to happen and not working toward either avoiding them all
together, or working toward lessening the severity of them? Yes, I agree that we
should prepare for the worst, but simultaneously work toward making choices that
will result in the most favorable outcome.
I've heard this sentiment by many who call themselves spiritual and follow a
non-Christian path that "the Earth needs cleansing anyway". To me this is no
better than the Christians wanting Armageddon so that all of sinners can be
cleansed, or the Muslins wanting Jihad so that all of sinners can be cleansed.
Mary says to that:
"Fatalism is the False Womb of the lazy, the irresponsible, the fearful.
Fatalism is Escapism for the weak and insecure."
That is rather harsh, but is she not stating a truth? I will not deny that the
earth does need a cleansing, but why must this "cleansing" come in the form of
horrible disaster, catastrophe and loss of life? This is a narrow interpretation
of what a "cleansing" is. To me, this cleansing is something that first happens
internally, and those internal changes then radiate outward, affecting all that
we encounter so that our external environment then becomes cleansed as well. We
need to clean out our old, harmful ways of thinking, of living, of being with
each other. We need to stop living the insane way that we do that harms and
kills our environment. We need to start living today the way Mary outlines in
Earthway, and the way that others have suggested that would result in our living
in harmony with our environment. These changes can be rendered now. We just have
to be determined to carry them out. Why do we need total devastation in order to
start living the way that we should? How is that going to change our hearts, our
minds, and our souls---that is, cause us to realize how we should be living?
This ties in with Mary's next statement:
"Humankind's harmful arrogance, prejudice, and intolerant ways created the
powerful negative vibrations serving as direct causal factors behind many
geological cataclysms, weather devastations, and catastrophic accidents.
Humankind's harmful arrogance, prejudice, and intolerant ways frequently create
the dynamic impetus---Negative Catalyst of Force---which may well yet destroy
this beautiful, innocent Earth."
I interpret Mary's words hear to serve as a wake-up call. The way we think, and
likewise, the way we act as a result of how we think, is what is destroying our
world. But she adds in the clause that although in the past we have caused all
of this harm and devastation, we haven't destroyed it all---yet. See, we have
this very important choice to be making about how we think and feel, and if we
continue on this path of how we think and feel, then yes, we will see mass
destruction, but if we stop it and go on the path of love and acceptance and
toleration, sending out positive vibrations, then we can start healing and
restoring the earth---and I would bet lessen the Earth Changes effects.
Lastly, while prophecies can come to fruition as envisioned, Mary states twice
in Pinecones two things that agree with each other about visions.
"The key to recognizing fulfilled prophecies is to look for their manifested
Spirit, not the letter of them."
"Controversy arises when one cleaves to the letter of how something is written
rather than seeing beyond to understand the spirit of same. Aesops' Fables and
Jesus' Parables are stories that teach the spirit of the law. Supposedly, St.
Paul said many things. Some statements were not aligned with the Truth, but one
of the statements attributed to him holds as true today as it did two thousand
years ago when he said, "The letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life."
Many things in the Bible and the Gnostic Gospels (Nag Hammadi) are not to be
taken literally. They were written on many different levels. The same holds true
for all spiritual writings. Prophecies can come true, but I like to think of
them as warnings---of giant wake-up calls that tell us---be warned, you can
still divert or avoid this from happening. That is our gift of the prophecy.
As I step down from my soapbox, thinking of how to end this...I just want to
emphasize how Mary reminds us we have the choice to make. The choice is still
ours. There is still time.
