Oh yes, I’ll be there to light a fire under the prophetic bullshit fantastic. I’ll be there to play sympathetic skeptic against the 2012 hysteria. Who knows? I might start a playful riot like I did years ago when I called Dolores Cannon out before a few thousand people to prove if she actually helped her trance clients talk to the living Nostradamus in the 1550s. If you want to be entertained, you will be entertained. If you want more than idle paranormal drivel, then read on.

The most important gift I have to offer you at the Conscious Life Expo is not a talk on Nostradamus uncensored, or an exposition on my views on the prophecy panel or the 2012 panel planned. I have a treasure to give you after my workshop. A treasure I pass on from my meditation teacher, the mystic Osho, given many years ago. It is a revelation whose heartbeat pulses at seven beats a second in indigo light. It is a night meditation called Gourishankar.

Gourishankar is the Sanskrit name for what honkeys of the British Raj renamed the tallest mountain on Earth with one of their impotent, nasal misnomers, “Mt. Eeh-voor-eehst.”

I’m going to give the hour-long Gourishankar meditation done to music after my workshop on Sunday.

This meditation consists of four stages of 15 minutes each. The first two stages prepare the meditator for the spontaneous Latihan of the third stage. Latihan is a mysterious and wonderful moment when one becomes the bamboo flute that existence plays its songs upon. Latihan is the moment when existence dances you. Latihan is the state of being a medium for the beyond. To prepare for this state, one must fly without wings. Osho has said that if the breathing is done correctly in the first stage the carbon dioxide formed in the bloodstream will make you feel as high as Gourishankar (Mt. Everest.)

First Stage: 15 minutes

Sit with closed eyes. Inhale deeply through the nose, filling the lungs. Hold the breath for as long as possible, then exhale gently through the mouth and keep the lungs empty for as long as possible. Continue this breathing cycle throughout the first stage, carried by the transcendent music higher and higher…

Second Stage: 15 minutes

Return to normal breathing and with a gentle gaze look at a candle flame or a softly flashing blue light pulsing at seven beats a second. Keep your body still. (I will bring to this meditation a flashing strobe light thickly filtered to a gentle indigo glow. This is the third-eye color. This stage stimulates one’s inner eye to a soft, warm and welcoming bongo tattoo.

Third Stage: 15 minutes

The light goes off. With closed eyes in the darkness, stand up and let your body be loose and receptive. The subtle energies will be felt to move the body outside your normal control. Allow this Latihan (let go) to happen. Don’t you do the moving: let moving happen, gently and gracefully

Fourth Stage: 15 minutes

Lie down with closed eyes, silent and still.

Osho.

My understanding of this meditation is that it helps one discover how to get out of the way and become a medium of the whole cosmos. What special ways that Cosmos wishes to use us is unique to all participants and is sacred whether the world judges what comes through as great or mundane. I use Gourishankar to aid in my work. You can use it as a technique to get out of your own way and be given by existence what is uniquely your destiny to share. Whatever that blessing may be.

Come meditate with us, Sunday. Go to this link and learn more:

Predictions for 2010 here

I just want to be clear that this first comment from Michael Mitrosky and my response is from September 2007. I’m encouraged that he feels, at least for himself, that I am that interpreter; however, I think we have nearly a half-century to wait and judge whether my work cuts the presaging muster as delineated in Century 3 Quatrain 94. (See the blog archives for Heirs to Nostradamus 1 and 2.). The body of John Mitrosky’s letter dwells on the Bush Administration. At that time, Bush and especially his Vice President — Cheney — were seriously contemplating and trying to somehow initiate a war with Iran. John Mitrosky is commenting about the following digital book I wrote in early 2007 about all the possible future US-Israeli-Iranian war scenarios. See in Nostradamus Iran. He specifically comments on an important and still active scenario for 2009, which along with the Israeli strike, is described in the chapter “Black Flags of Our Martyrs spreading West” as Iran’s martyr option.

JOHN MITROSKY.
You, Mr. John Hogue are the present heir to Nostradamus. There are 3 important reasons for my conclusion: (1) you are open-minded; (2) you lack arrogance and conceit; and finally, (3) you focus on why Nostradamus is important today. This third point is the crux of the matter. You rightly show that Nostradamus’ description of a war between the West/Israel and terrorists backed by Iran is the heart of Nostradamus’ message for us today. It is a double-edged sword. You reveal the stupidity of attacking Iran on the one hand, but on the other hand, it would not surprise me if right-wing Neo-Con think tanks were using your e-book on Iran to justify attacking now, before Iran takes over Iraq completely, or obtains nuclear weapons. My own feeling is that Iran will continue to try to dominate Iraq, but she will never attack first in an overt manner. Iran wants to play the martyr’s role. Iran wants to be seen in the Arab world as retaliating for aggression perpetrated against her, not starting aggression. If the West/Israel falls into this trap, then Nostradamus’ outline for the saddest, WMD, MAD war will surely come to pass. You spell out the consequences as Nostradamus saw them. You have the power and responsibility to promote your e-book to those in the West/Israel who might start this war. You must try to get them to listen!

MY REPLY
A strange opportunity has been granted to me by the information revolution. I know that all factions in the current world war of international terrorism vs. counter-terrorism read my work. From Langley Virginia to Islamabad, from Jerusalem to Teheran, from Washington DC to Moscow, my observations about Nostradamus and prophecy are read and examined.

When I discovered that those working for President Bush and bin Laden read my work, it brought a sobering responsibility. There are also many good people around the world either working quietly inside their regimes to make changes for the better who read my work and the work of others. I’m trying to submit between the lines solutions to a number of prophetically anticipated crises, or at least, dispense to those on opposite sides of an issue reasons perhaps why we all are programmed to stagger unconsciously from one crisis to the next.

I promise you, John, that I will go on with this work to effect some small part of a more positive future destiny coming for the human race. There is so much to write about that coming new human being. At this stage of the work my writing is dominated with what is wrong or about to go wrong with human destiny and why. In the next two years [2007-2009] as the global crisis of civilization sustainability becomes at last a mainstream concern, my writing will shift more and more to offer solutions to the syndrome of conditioning that has turned human beings into functional robots that repeat the tragedies of history.

Soon, I will provide a permanent bulletin linked on the sidebar of every page of my web site that will speak of Osho’s fascinating prophecy from 1982 called The Noah’s Ark of Consciousness. This article will be the first comprehensive invitation to try techniques from the science of self-observation that I have practiced since 1980. If I have insight, if there is anything that deserves your kind endorsement as an heir of Nostradamus, it was born out of practicing these meditation techniques.”

***

UPDATE–MAY 2009:
It is mid-May 2009, one year and eight months have passed since I wrote my reply. The mainstream mindset is coming around about recognizing many varied dimensions of crises about sustaining our civilization into an ever more ominous looking second decade of the 21st century. We have a new president that at least in words might soon follow them with deeds that change the human course in history for the better.

I have not been able to set up my Noah’s Ark of Consciousness page until more financial support can pay for it. Nevertheless, on this blog page I have planned a number of new prophecies series coming for the rest of 2009. These will look deeper into the mechanics of predictability that prevent human beings from growing into their full potential and enjoying a golden future. I am feverishly building a stock of 50 articles for posting through the rest of spring to the summer. Many of them speak at length about this coming new humanity and how we can give birth to it right here, right now. I need the stock of articles so I can direct my attention to writing my next digital book on the future of Barack Obama.

Thank you all for reading my work.

UPDATE—4 January 2010:
Those articles are written. Many will be posted in the coming months, as they are more pertinent now than back in May. Presidents in Hawaii “vacate” in vacation. People suffer without health care whilst US Congress enjoys a couple weeks of “Vacat”-tion before getting back to the lobbyist—sorry, I mean the “people’s”—work. Read more about what will happen next in Predictions for 2010.

(04 January 2010)

This is the 389th anniversary of a mythology-myth-holiday when those mistaken as “Indians” (Native Americans) shared food with English Pilgrim settlers before the latter wiped them out in the ensuing years. (See Real Thanksgiving Turkey.)

Give or take where you were on either side of the International Dateline, the 26-27 of November marked the passing of American mystic and teacher, Adi Da. (See Adi Da.)

On this Thanksgiving Day, I want to share a sense of gratefulness better understood by a more enlightened human race coming in the future.

I thank a reader named “Julie” for inspiring the following unorthodox take on Thanksgiving future-framed.

She asked a question about globalism that inspired an unexpected answer about right selfishness. This concept may not be understood today, but right selfishness is a virtue people of a new humanity will value once the aberrant era of human-kid becomes matured human-kind.

I could say the kiddy stuff will end in a few hundred years. A new and mature humanity at that time will not live in the past, or be too interested in time beyond its mere utilitarian usefulness for clocks and time-space folding the galactic.

Homo Novus will be free of time-mind-egoic constraints. If such a timeless people are to be born, then how can there be a gulf of time of hundreds of years? How can there be a separation of time at all? If they are born, they are already living here and now. You are here right now. The new humanity is born from becoming your rightful self.

Julie asked me the following question that inspired my oracle soar from its peripheral concerns into a completely different theme. A right world can only be born from a state of right self.

JULIE:
Do you think this financial crisis is all engineered by the worldly powers-that-be to deplete the world’s economy and therefore bring in the new ‘one world’ currency in to control us even more until we all hit the brick wall?

HOGUE:
One world currency is coming in the next 36 years, as is a one-world government. Whether these will be good or evil depends on the consciousness of humanity rising, first one individual at a time, then individuals gathering in their aloneness together to forge a government where the blissfulness and intelligence of their inner being is reflected by their outer world. If enough individuals transform their consciousness, irregardless of what others are doing or not doing to transform their own consciousness, then, a shift in the destiny of this earth will incline towards a more life affirming future world society.

Civilization’s hoped for new direction is not as important as your individual transformation this present moment. Remember, Gautama Siddartha did not change his society, but his full self-remembering of his birthright — the birthright of all people actually to be a Buddha, (an Awakened One) — changed his society. He brought more meditation into it. It was not his aim to change anything or anyone. Indeed his work on himself was the ultimate act of selfishness. He abandoned kingdom, family and responsibilities on a half-dozen year quest to know that which is a truth beyond the transient mortal life.

He found “IT”. It shined out of him — a catalyst to remind others of their lost legacy of light. He did not seek ten thousand disciples. They sought him. He did not desire this army of followers. He did not seek to help his planet or his culture, but all were helped in the wake of his ultimate quest for “right” selfishness.

If I do not know who I am in my innermost being, then how can there be any abiding good arising in my actions? The world is mostly full of good people. Why then is it a world of misery and madness with a few glimmers of love and joy? It seems that it is not enough to be virtuous and good. I suppose a good sleepwalker will fall in a ditch as much as an evil one.

Perhaps if one truly flowers into the full spectrum of divine revelation it makes all actions, right actions. That is why it is more imperative now than in Buddha’s time to find one’s inner being, unbury it from the garbage of borrowed thoughts and identities of our particular societal conditioning and arise in our own light. That is what all enlightened ones and many devotees attracted to their light did. Only this kind of selfishness finds the state of self-lessness.

The prophecies for a new Humanity coming, sees each of us taking that jump within, if we but do it. Now. Every “now.”

(25 November 2009)

CHARLES
How can ordinary people be responsible for their actions when the government, the establishment media, and the establishment educational system feed people lies piled on top of lies? How can people know what to do when the governmental economic reports are fraudulent? How can people do the “right thing” when the powers that be harass and threaten anyone that opposes their dictates?

Are slaves responsible for the crimes of their masters? I think not. (Of course, that’s just my opinion. I could be wrong.)

HOGUE
Yes, slaves are responsible. As responsible as the masters. To think not, is to think like a slave. Masters cannot exist without slaves. Slaves cannot exist as slaves without masters. The overlord needs the overwhelmed. It is a dysfunctional relationship. Belief cannot exist without disbelief. Love cannot exist without hate. These relationships in duality are all forms of slavery. If there is a higher form of love and belief, it must be something experienced beyond good and evil, beyond belief as we find ourselves dualistically ensnared by our mindsets.

From this context, allow me to answer each of your points made in response to my blog entry Everyone is Responsible for this Economy.

You say, Charles,

Everyone is responsible for this economy? I beg to differ with your learned opinion.

How can ordinary people be responsible for their actions when the government, the establishment media, and the establishment educational system feed people lies piled on top of lies?

HOGUE
People are responsible for what they eat. If you eat crappy food and become physically sick, you are the one imbibing. It is no different if you fill your mind with crap coming from the ungovernable-government, the truth-destabilizing establishment media and the dumbing-down educational system, making you mind neurotic, agitated and unconsciously enslaved. You are doing the eating. The illusion we have bought into from birth onward through society’s conditioning is that sources of our physical and spiritual food malnourishment have power over us. For instance: ask yourself, is the Big Mac making me put my teeth into it?

The last thing society’s programmed conditioning wants us to awaken is an awareness of direct response ability for all that is going on in our lives. This programmed habit of borrowed personality wants us to throw responsibility on others, because when we do, we can keep ourselves disempowered.

Your Big Mac makes you eat it. The vodka makes you gulp it down. The media makes you stupid. The overlord makes you overwhelmed. The Devil made you do it. Massah makes you a slave.

I once heard Louis Farrakhan make a powerful observation that, I think, touches the core of an enslaved mind’s disempowerment. The gist of what I heard him say to an African American audience who still felt under the heal of a white man’s world was something like, “Don’t wait for whitie to change. You change.” Only a person who still thinks like a slave waits for the master to change first.

Don’t wait for the Big Mac to change before you stop eating it.

A false imposed mindset programs us to be addicted to an illusion that the Big Mac makes you eat it. The US government makes you its slave is an illusion. It is “you” voting or not voting that gets the government a slave deserves.

What makes you unconsciously grab for Wolf Blitzer’s drab-blab, or the dithering simpletons or machine-gun mouthed anchors and clueless, perky anchorettes that crowd your news media channels with talking heads?

What happened? Did you get home from work and suddenly find yourself pulled beyond your control to the remote to turn on Spaghetti-O-Reilly, or Keith Olber-wrought-mann, or Rachel Mad-cow, or Dimpy Dog-Wolf Blitzer, or Inannity-Hannity, or Glen Bardo-Brained Beck?

Is your skeptical inquiry magically suspended by the calm cool voice of An-drone-nia Mitchell, or comforted by the stuffed suited Walter Cron-Kronos-kite degenerations of anchors in alphabet souped up ABC and NBC networks?

Can’t you stop objective reasoning from being Katie Curried up on CBS nightly news?

Did the TV remote make you do it?

Why have we bought the simple slavery of borrowed faith in imaginary friends up in the clouds? Why does a guy in Rome dressed in a pointy hat with a shepherd’s crook, in priestly drag, compel those donning the label “Christian” to believe in virgin births?

Why does that swami guy on the Hindu Ganges River sitting cross-legged in an orange dress compel those donning the identity of “Hindu” to sample cattle dung as holy food from the…? Holy cow! Hooooley shit!!

Who made pious men praying to Mecca five times a day think there would be 77 virgins ready to get down up in heaven?

What makes an Atheist blindly believe in his neggo-God faith as much as a theist blindly believes positively in God

Have you ever wondered why every religion describes paradise filled with all the temptations you can’t touch or do while alive? For instance, Muslims can’t drink in life but they can swim in rivers of wine in the afterlife. Christians are taught that poverty is a kind of holy virtue, but they’ll walk on streets made of gold in heaven–chah-ching!!!

The Hindu saint must remain celibate in life, so he can be gang banged forever by beautiful Upsaras in paradise. Upsaras are under aged goddess girlies that never sweat or age beyond a sexual predator’s favorite age — sweet 16.

These are our holy Big Macs that we believe make us eat them down.

The fairytales are made master over the faithful. If sin becomes holy in heaven, you will behave yourself, suppress your urges and follow your religion like sheeple — theist or atheist mutton — and eat whatever they think you must stuff down your own throat as enlightenment.

When did the Big Mac start eating you?

Try this on:

It starts early when fresh intelligence from the beyond is born in body-mind form. Whatever society you land in when born begins to coat your soul with a personality, with dogmas, belief systems.

Your childlike genius to question the stupidity of your elders is quickly punished with overt violence (spankings, beatings, sent to bed without supper) or more covert forms of parental, pedagogical, political or priestly blackmail. They deny belonging and love’s security to a helpless child. So being naturally born smart, we children conform to belong, to be loved, to survive. We begin to play the game of believing so we can be accepted, nourished and loved. The corruption process begins until the bright eyed being that came to earth has become a functional mediocrity in his or her society by 21 years of age.

Rather than teach our children to retain their intelligent souls from the beyond, we make them identify with the tools needed to live and drive their body-mind through life. In short, you become a slave when you think you are the body-mind car, and not the soul who drives it.

The Big Mac eats you. The Car drives you.

Some of you might be wondering now what all the above has to do with prophecy.

It has everything to do with it.

Conditioning is the source of predictability. Predictability is the engine of prophecy. The future of slaves is easy to predict. The future of the free is wide open.

So, Charles, with that and all the rest of the above said, here is my answer to the rest of your points.

CHARLES
How can people know what to do when the governmental economic reports are fraudulent?

HOGUE
Stop putting frauds in office. And if you cannot do this, stop being a fraud unto your “self.” See the ways you have been enslaved to see the world with your society’s eyes and borrowed beliefs and religions. See with your own inner light what is good, what is religious, and govern yourself.

CHARLES
How can people do the “right thing” when the powers that be harass and threaten anyone that opposes their dictates?

HOGUE
Find your spiritual spine. Practice a science of self-observation and find the quiet, witnessing eye inside you that is ever there in every one of life’s raging storms. Accept that your emergent awakening will disturb the programmed-minded world. Who cares what they do to you? You are coming back to your soul. You have begun remembering and living something in glimpses of that vast and light filled truth beyond duality that they can never destroy again. IT is beyond life and death. It “abides” as a constant witness inside you every eternal moment if you but simply remember it.

This “iT-ness” self-remembers every moment you are in action, inaction, waking or sleeping, alive or departed.

You may not be able to change the government, the media or the education system, but you can understand their game and stop identifying with it. You will still have to move through the world of the muddled and semi-conscious and your presence of attention will cause friction, but it will also attract light and fellow travelers in this spiritual rebellion into your circle of life.

You are not alone, or better you “are” completely alone, just like everyone else. So, we are all “alone” together, thus not alone. We share this aloneness, thus we share this freedom of aloneness.

I’m not talking about “loneliness”– that’s what slaves experience. When the slave becomes response “able” to see the chains of slavery are illusions, he or she becomes free. And loneliness becomes eagle-bright and flying “aloneness.”

CHARLES
Are slaves responsible for the crimes of their masters? I think not. (Of course, that’s just my opinion. I could be wrong.)

HOGUE
You are wrong, Charles. You are speaking with a voice and a mind that has been hijacked by your society, government, media and mafia of the soul. It is the voice of a slave.

The masters program slaves to think their victimhood is somehow holy and noble. They prevent your spiritual rebellion today by promising you in their religious demagoguery that you will be free in paradise. They want you to pin the blame of their crimes on them. That is the habitual way we give them power over us.

However, when individuals begin to take responsibility for their part in this dysfunctional crime, the spell of the master-slave relation-shit is broken. Then a completely new world arises like the dead coming out of the grave of our conditioned minds. Meditation can bring an understanding that is a resurrection of the soul we are, the soul we came here as, the uncovered soul once buried by societal and religious bunk.

Slaves “are” responsible for their slavery. Be free.

If you like, I can share with any of you who ask the teachings and meditation techniques that have helped me begin my resurrection out from this slavery. If anything I said in this essay resonates with you, it comes from an awakening intelligence aided by self-observation techniques I can give to you as a gift.

Thank you Charles. Thanks and blessings of awakening freedom to you all.

John Hogue

(26 September 2009)

IN ADDITION:

It is the next morning. Here is Charles’ reply and my response. Perhaps it will help clarify things for some of you:

CHARLES
You call me a fool and a coward for adopting a belief system that has been forced upon me from childhood.

HOGUE
I have never called you a fool or a coward, Charles. The slave mindset programmed into us always personalizes things. You are not that mindset. You are a mystery of light and eternity. You are joy incarnate, courage incarnate, under the spell of mind. Perhaps that spell can be broken with a little awareness.

CHARLES
Then you offer me a different belief system that I must accept based solely on your faith in it.

HOGUE
No one said you must accept it, but you right now. Again, what is compelling you to rush to belief so automatically? Is this “you” or perhaps an adopted persona? No need to believe or disbelieve. Test it for yourself. I suggesting that meditation techniques can be used as tools to test it.

CHARLES
No thanks. I will find my own way. What is that old saying, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”

HOGUE

I definitely support you finding your own way.

What I’m offering you at the end of the blog, Charles and everyone else reading the blog is a way to experiment and test everything I said to see if it is true for you or not.

I have a proposition for testing: it is your true self under the spell of mind that is always pressured to believe without question what I said in the blog. Did I tell you to believe it? Where in the blog do I tell any of you, ‘You must believe what I am saying’? That voice demanding belief is not coming from me.

Who then is it coming from?

Meditation has helped me understand this. You may have a different experience with meditation than I. The thing to do now is stop talking and start experimenting with techniques of awareness. My offer to share with you these techniques is still open. There is no pressure coming from me. I respect your freedom to chose or reject this offering.

(27 September 2009)

I wanted to remind you all of it today as one of the few blogs “not” inundating you with Senator Ted Kennedy memorandums, prophetic or otherwise, as his body is being driven to Boston from Hyannis Port.

(I know the route to Hyannis well. Back in the late 1970s I was part of the Highfield Theater summer stock company in neighboring Falmouth. Some of you might remember seeing me perform in Gilbert and Sullivan operettas Iolanthe (as Lord Mounterrarat), HMS Pinafore (Bill Bobstay, Boatswain’s Mate) and one of the leads in my favorite G-and-S show (can you guess?), playing Sir Marmaduke Pointdextre in The Sorcerer. You might have seen me play French General Birabeau in Desert Song or dance as the drunken notary with a quill stuck in his hair in Offenbach’s La Pericole. You might have watched me change my race on stage from a white cracker racist (Senator Billboard Rawkins) to an afro-dued African American dude with the strike of a lightning bolt whilst standing over a pot of Leprechaun gold in Finian’s Rainbow. Anyway, I made the pilgrimage to the entrance of the Kennedy compound on one of my rare days off from Highfield Theater. I’ve got a lot to say about the death of the last Kennedy brother so many of you down the years thought Nostradamus might have foreseen as the third and final brother to die as president. Blogs are coming.

Today, as I’m trying to clear out my inbox answering letters, in preparation for the tsunami of emails to come from being on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory this Wednesday (2 September 2009), a letter from Marc-Andre written back on 9 January inspired a reply that I want to share with him and all of you.

MARC-ANDRE:
Been really enjoying your bulletin updates , your views on the “victim” dynamic are quite similar to my own, I am sure you have caught a lot of sh*t for stating your “trut.”

HOGUE
Yes, I did. It was expected. I have a new wave of Hamas blogs coming that should stir the sh*t some more, I hope.

MARC-ANDRE:
But that is a good thing…. at least people are “thinking”… there is a lot of intense energy coming our way over the next few years and many of us will be questioning everything we thought we “knew” — your views and bulletins can hopefully serve as a primer for folks (even those you anger) to get them ready, even subconsciously, for the coming “storm.”

HOGUE
That is my intention.

MARC-ANDRE:
You may anger them now, but in hindsight, those that are open to growth, will thank you and others like you who push then to think, question and awaken…. keep up the good work.

HOGUE
I like angry people. They have life. Anyone who can have their apple cart of dogmas and programs upturned is someone who can change.

Osho used to tell a Sufi story. It reverberates in my memory when my inbox explodes with pissed-off browsers after I’ve said something pushing their buttons.

A Sufi mystic had published a book. He told a disciple to bring the book to his mother and father as a gift and watch very closely their reactions and report to him.

The disciple came back that afternoon and said, “My father was enraged. He tore the book from my hands and threw it out the front door into the dirty streets, yelling, ‘This book is written by a heretic against our Islamic traditions and I will send this dog filth where it belongs! You tell your master THAT!’”

“What did you mother do?” Asked his Sufi master.

“Mother tried to calm down father, gently admonishing him. She dispassionately said, ‘Husband, you should have more tolerance for other views and ideas. There is good in all religions. God is in all things. We must be loving.’”

The Sufi pondered this nodding, then told his disciple, “There is no hope for your mother having a religious transformation; however your father…There is every possibility for him.”

The moral of this story, you ask?

This is my understanding of what Osho was trying to tell me and how it relates to my readers of these blogs. Sometimes an angry letter writer is on the verge of shifting into one who will love because anger and love are so deeply intertwined. There is totality in him or her. Look at what happened to St. Paul on the road to Damascus. He was seeking out the arrest and execution of Christians. Then he had his heat stroke moment and became as fierce a lover and messenger of Christ as he had been his fierce enemy. If it weren’t for St. Paul, Christianity would have never spread to the outside world.

Sometimes the people who agree calmly with me and praise my work are just wishy-washy types. That isn’t always the case of course. Still, it is worth meditating on. On the other hand, I am often drawn to answer my angry mailers first because beyond those who are just cuckoo birds or adolescent-minded or just sociopaths enjoying a hit-and-run by email at my expense, more than half the angry people I reply to shift out of anger to understanding. It is quite surprising and unexpected. That’s why I try to answer all the 5,000-plus letters sent every year. I give back what I get as many of you know. I hope you understand that I give back something more than a hit or gratefulness.

Be total, my readers. Wishy-washiness is not going to transform your being. Wishy-washy people will not give birth to a new humanity

Nostradamus predictions about antichrist:

if you really believe what you are saying about irann then why do you keep on defending the relelection of the regime again and again? I have simple analogy. Even you yourself do not believe what you are saying that is why you have to repeat it again and again. Oh my basij sympatizer

Emilie,
What follows is just graffiti sprayed on the wall of a closed mind. The stones have no intelligence. It is therefore easy to predict that this mind imposed upon you will not get what I am saying unless your birthright intelligence can break out from behind the wall, in which your society has imprisoned it.

I am a Mousavi supporter. I want his moderate revolution to succeed; however, it will not succeed as long as the movement is filled with people like you who would rather dream things are so than make them so.

We have to come back to reality if we what to make the Green Revolution in Iran a reality.

We are being duped by our own media and our own fantasies to think that a revolution of moderates in Iran is succeeding. It is not, for now. A year from now, a different story, even though its eventual success will be in the final reckoning just another so-called revolution like all the others. Real revolution has not yet happened in this world.

We have to face facts, not illusions. Moreover, the readers of my bulletins will often have to confront things that go against their projections. If people do not like what they are reading here, nothing is stopping them from going somewhere else to nourish what they want to see.

This blog is dedicated to those who say yes to the only revolution that can possibly change the world: a revolution in witnessing consciousness that uses the mind as its servant — not the master.

There is no greater tyrant overlording all of you right this very moment than the conditioned, programmed mind. This is the true Satan.

It thrives as long as we go on living unconscious of its prison for our minds and hearts. We must stop pretending the prison walls do not exist. We must encounter them, understand the nature of this prison, so we can then break free of it.

There is no liberation more atomic or significant than the freeing of the individual from his or her conditioned mind and personality. Most of humanity’s misery is rooted in our identification with a false-persona personality programmed into us starting at birth by whatever culture we find ourselves born into. We are made to think we are the hammer, not the hand holding it. We are hypnotized to believe we are the body-mind vehicle, not the soul driving it. The outside imposed misperception of the hammer and the car, the robotic adherence to morals and religious dogma, the identification with nationalistic mindsets that has us persecuting and killing each other and a thousand other false personas imposed become mind-dirt that buries the being from our conscious awareness. We walk for 70 years or so of life in the shadow of our own graves hypnotized to think we are alive, thinking and feeling for ourselves.

We all have this wall built up around our intelligence and soul. A few of us are aware the wall exists and are beginning a breakout. A few of us want to really be alive and rediscover our lost and innocent intelligence of soul.

These Hogue Prophecy Bulletins are written for those who want to break free of a present conditioning that is making the future a tragedy. Prophecy is one of the devices I use writing these blogs and eBooks. There is a lot more going on between the lines you read here.

A practice of self-observation techniques can help expose these underlying tyrannies of the programmed mind to the light of consciousness. That consciousness exposes the programming like light dispelling chains made of shadow. If you want to liberate Iran or any other oppressed being, start at the beginning. Take the first and right step inward: liberate your self.

If enough of us do this around the world then solutions to the world’s problems will be within our grasp.
