Series 2: Visions. EP1: The Way Things Work

NOTE: 2:45 I DID "WORK WITHOUT A SCRIPT" and so need to deconfuse the cabin story. I was 7 years old. There was no artificial light outside the cabin. I sat next to a closed window in the kitchen at night - not "in the dark" - under the bright bulb. I'lll probably re-record that part. Sorry for the confusion. 

Jesus came to tell us the Way Things Work. But some things He chose not to say, then. Now, having preached the Gospel to the whole world, all can be said.

Thomas Aquinas, born 1225-27, was a theologian and “Doctor of the Catholic Church.” Aquinas wrote:

Nothing should be denied the blessed that belongs to the perfection of their beatitude…Wherefore in order that the happiness of the saints may be more delightful to them and that they may render more copious thanks to God for it, they are allowed to see perfectly the sufferings of the damned.

Hard to imagine anything more antiChrist than this declaration.  Yet, whose writings have formed the basis of all Western Christian Church dogma. Thomism, not Christ.

Aquinas had a Divine experience - a vision. He said to his secretary "Everything I have written is as straw." He repudiated all  8 million-plus  words he'd written on all things Christian. He never wrote another word as long as he lived. 

Yet, those 8 million were embraced by the Roman Church and Aquinas was exalted as Doctor of the Church and Julian of Norwich was sealed into a cell. Visionaries have been repressed, accused, attacked and executed.

Kyrie believes that last is unlikely to happen to her. Though she did say,

"Pray for us, I'm working without a script!  This information is couched in symbols as we have no capacity to fully apprehend it. But in three visions I was shown The Way Things Work.  (Things being the Universe of Time and Eternity.)

Thomas Aquinas

The theologian Thomas Aquinas, who lived and worked in the 13th century (1200s A.D., was a philosopher and doctor of the Church, which is a high honor given to those who are theologically advanced and contribute a great deal to the development of theology of the Church. 

His prolific writings formed the basis of official Roman Catholic dogma, to such a degree that in 1879 the Pope declared that among all the scholastic doctors, Aquinas was “the chief and master of all towers”. 

He wrote much on the last judgment and heaven and hell. His is a stepwise and orderly style, and in the Summa Theologica, Aquinas systematically unfolds his rigid scholastic formulae concerning the relationship of the saints in heaven to the wicked in hell. 

“Nothing should be denied the blessed that belongs to the perfection of their beatitude. Wherefore, in order that the happiness of the saints may be more delightful to them, and that they may render more copious thanks to God for it, they are allowed to see perfectly the sufferings of the damned.”

I would try to be more objective, but reading that makes me nauseous. Just a side comment. 

Aquinas wrote some ridiculous number of words about all things Christian, like eight million, called a conservative estimate. And then he had a divine experience, a vision, an NDE, call it what you will. He said to his secretary—and this is not apocryphal, by the way, it's well attested—

“Everything I have written is straw.”

He never finished the Summa Theologica or wrote another word as long as he lived. Which, it turned out, was not that long, just a few months. 

Yet, the basis of almost all modern theology until very recently is Thomism, not Christ. This resulted in Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches becoming the physical antithesis of what ecclesias of followers of Christ are supposed to be. Hell was too popular amongst the people, too useful to the ecclesial powers that be to give up. 

People so much want revenge on all who have victimized them. They don't really like Jesus. You cannot sell people humility and sacrifice, but watching whoever you hate burn in agony, oh yeah, that's the God they want. So Aquinas becomes a doctor of the church and Julian of Norwich does not. Children, teens, religious sisters are ignored, attacked or repressed, and no one believes.

03:17 Intro to Kyrie Visions

At least they're likely to not burn me at a stake or lock me away in a cell. But I'll say this: my revelations, however they have come, have stood for me the test of decades of time. They have been confirmed for me by other mystics and by scripture and trust in Him in life. He has never failed me. 

I will begin with a categorical statement. While the information is couched in symbols because we do not have the capacity, outside of oneness with God, to conceive it, this is the way everything works. There are visions that relate the full story, and that full story will be told. 

I don't expect anything. I don't expect to be believed. I only expect to relate what I know in ways that, at least, cannot be altered by others as long as my voice and these recordings last. And I'm about to work without a script, so pray for us both, because I have no idea if I can do this in any logical or comprehensible fashion. I did make a vague outline. 

04:39 The Cabin and the Light

My family rented a cabin in the woods. There was no artificial lighting around, it was small and there was a lake and a rowboat. We went to the beach across the lake every day, my father would row us across. 

But when you were inside, there was just one bright light in the kitchen, a bare bulb that hung down over a table, and the family would gather there. One of the things I noticed when I was sitting at that table at night was that looking at the window was like looking at black paint. I wondered if anyone had actually painted that window over, and I’d just not noticed it before. 

When my sister came down, there was nowhere for me to sit and I tended to wander. I went outside and I could see everything perfectly. It wasn't bright, but it was beautiful and free. It smelled wonderful. And I could see everyone inside brightly lit because of that bulb. That brightness, that artificial brightness If you were in it, made the outside invisible. 

05:58 Begin Escalator Vision

Now, that's a real story, and I think it helps make sense of the vision that I had many decades later. I'm going to try to describe this. I'm not sure without drawings (and I don't draw( that this will be comprehensible, but I'm going to give it a whirl. So if you would try to imagine, that will be helpful.

Imagine an escalator: it's in a dim area. It goes straight up. It's a little bit narrow. There are people on each step. Once in a while there's an empty stair, but we're all going up, almost infinitely up. So far from the bottom, I don't even know where we started. It just goes up and at the top there's a doorway and a light. And it's very, very far. It's so far away, it doesn't seem to ever get closer. 

But it's perfectly fine. It's what I'm doing. I'm going up the escalator and sooner or later I will get there. 

Now, next to me, to my left, is … imagine a huge glass cylinder. When I say huge, I mean hundreds of miles in diameter, at least. Brightly lit. You can see everything inside. And what is going on in this glass cylinder is, there are people. T

here are people far down, there are people far up, and they are all rising. Some of them are shooting to the top and some of them are just going very slowly. Some of them are scrambling along the sides trying to find a way out. Some of them are banging into one another, but they're all rising. Once in a while one will come over to the glass and stick to it like a frog on a window, looking and looking, and maybe shouting. And possibly you could touch or shout or knock, bang on the glass and be able to communicate a little. But up and up they went. Then someone came through—right through the glass—a man. And he came through and he scrabbled and scrambled and tried to hang on to the stair above me, but he couldn't and he fell. 

He didn't fall down the stairs; there was a little space between this huge lighted cylinder and he went down and down and I couldn't see him anymore. 

08:27 At the bottom of the stairs

What I knew was, at the bottom there was like a great big pile of these bodies, these people that kept coming through and falling down, not being able to get onto the stairs. 

What were they doing down there? Well, they had a choice. They could get back on the escalator, which takes a very long time to get to the top, or they can go back into the cylinder, because you can get to the top really quickly. You can go straight up, or you can go slowly and then increase and increase and increase. Or, you can just get messed up and not be able to hardly get anywhere at all and then you get thrown out and you have to start over. 

And then it was over. This vision. What … what did it say? What did I know? 

What I knew was this: One, free will is inviolable. Free will is inviolable. We choose. We exist before we come here, and we choose to come here. And here is inside the cylinder. And what's great about Earth, what's great about time, is that we can move really quickly. And get close to God and get close to the other side, get close to the kingdom and enter the kingdom, because the top is open. It's just open to the kingdom of God up there. 

Or, if we don't want to go through what we have to go through to be in time—and let's face it, this is not the most fun all of us have ever had—we can get on the escalator and we can evolve slowly and slowly and slowly. 

Now I know that it wasn't in the vision, but I also was made to know that we will have jobs to do, helping those people banging on the glass, and that's part of how we can evolve on the Other Side, but it takes a lot longer. 

There's something about being physical, being drawn down, fighting that, building your spirit, that helps you rise more and more and more quickly, closer to God, more like God, until you're all the way up in the Light. 

What is helpful about being in time, except that you can get there to the Lord, to the kingdom, faster. Why would He want you to go there, if you would choose to go there. And what happens when you go? Do you just fall into the nearest womb?

11:12 Symphony Score and the Big Bang.

Have you ever seen a conductor's score for a symphony? This is a metaphor. Obviously, these are all metaphors. 

A conductor's score has everything on each page. In other words, it has the violins are all on a set of staffs at the top, and percussion is all on staffs and wind instruments and so forth, and they go across two pages.  You turn a page and there it is the whole thing. Now, if you could take the pages out, they would be really long. I mean, probably go from like one end of the concert hall to the other, and maybe they have a better way of doing that now. I mean, maybe it's all on some kind of … Maybe it's all on some kind of screen or something, you know, a notebook. But this is what conductor scores look like. Now imagine that those papers are all spread out.

Okay, big bang. The universe was created instantaneously and everything happened. The future isn't; it's all happened. But nothingness, which is what we are, what this is, cannot be transmuted into absoluteness until enough Light enters the darkness. 

I have said in other podcasts that our job is to bring Christ to the world. Our job is to bring Divine Light to the world. In other words, we are going to change what is here, that's already happened, and so we choose a life, a life to enter, a life that we can live, that may make up for possibly our transgressions or weaknesses or mistakes. A way to learn, to learn faster, strengthen our souls. But it's not enough to do that. 

13:17 Altering the Future to Change Time into Eternity

The elements of music. There are 12 standard elements of music, like timbre and texture and rhythm, melody, structure, harmony, pitch, tempo … dynamics. But there's another thing about this score, this score that is complete. There's key. Change one thing about one note and you are in a new key that extends all the way to the very end. One note becomes a sharp, and the rest of the composition is played in a new key. A notation for increasing or decreasing volume, a different time signature can be added. All of these tiny, what look like tiny, changes make major differences in that score. 

Time is a score. What we call reality, which is not Reality, is complete, it's done. But our lives can change that. Part of the power that mystics keep talking about, that we have, is to change time, to change reality to make it more congruent with God, so that what is here in the nothingness can become a somethingness. 

Each of us enters a life already lived and lives it again, making a different choice, and the whole is affected. We only have to be listening to the composer. “But it's supposed to be… but it's always been…” 

“Do it this way,” He whispers. “Do it this way.” 

And  one person's act changes the way the universe works. That is the lesson of the Incarnation and the Cross. Not some old metaphor about sacrificial lambs, but about the enormous power of life, truly lived in God, that all of us can choose. Jesus came as true man to show us that life. 

He literally changed the way the universe works. The veil fell. The barrier between God and people is now barely the width of a single bubble skin. We attract and touch, and that joining is as large as it can be for us to experience as much as we can of Eternity while we are in time. 

16:01 The “Psychic” Visions

Reality apparent in illusion. And yes, we all know how many people truly do prefer the illusion. They don't want to hear about Reality, illusion here. “I read this in a book; this is what it is. You go away, you heretic.”

How does this work? When I was at a seminar given by a well-known medium, when I was wanting to develop what was a gift that God had given me that I certainly didn't expect or ask for, mostly seeming to have to do with delivering a message from a child in our parish that sat in my pew and had passed from brain cancer to his mother. 

It took me weeks to even give it to her, because who wants to bother this woman? Because you've gone crazy and now you think people on the Other Side are talking to you. But, as I have said before, God nags. And so, finally, I did tell her. When we let go of life, the process can be difficult, but we are not abandoned. 

This is what happened In this seminar. I had a vision. Now, do you want to call it psychic? Shall we call it something else? Not … Everything like this comes from God. It must. How else can it get to us? 

I had a vision of sitting on something, and I didn't know what it was, because this particular experience was a feeling, something, and I could feel I was sitting on something hard under my legs, something like a metal girder you might think of a not very well done bridge, you know the kind that are real basic, and has just metal on the sides. 

And I didn't look down but I knew it was a really long way down and I knew I was going to push off and I knew I was going to die and I knew I was doing it, pushing off. And I knew I was going to die and I knew I was doing it on purpose. And I did and my stomach gave that little kind of whoop, you know, like when you go over a bump in the road, when you're going really fast, like a little hill thing or I don't know, a ride at an amusement park, and then it was over. 

I had an additional vision later on of that same incident to show me what happened while he was sitting there. He was looking out, not down. (I knew it was a man.) He was looking at a green valley and people were coming and there was a stream and there were hills and he knew the people and he was expecting them. He remembered. He remembered why he had come to Earth. He had come to Earth to be in this moment and die this death. He pushed off and he didn't fall, except a little way, because he jumped onto the grass and went off to meet the people that were coming for him. 

Now you will hear if you read about mediums and their experiences and what people report. This isn't uncommon. But I didn't know what it was for a long time and then I did know it wasn't suicide, it was 9-11. And he'd gone off … sorry … he'd gone off the side of the tower. And I'd have given anything to be able to talk to his family, because the other thing I knew was that someone somewhere, his mother I think, was obsessed with the fall, with his falling, and how horrible and awful it must have been. 

19:30 There is no death

But the lesson is this: Bodies die when we leave them. We don't die—ever. There is no death. There's no death at all.

There's just walking away, going into the next room, jumping onto the grass and running to meet our friends. We don't have to worry at any time about anything. We all have a job to do here and one of the ways that we bring God to the world and Light to the world is to make the choice to live someone else's life and make a better choice than they did.

Now. I don't know what would have happened in a future that was replaced by the guy who jumped out the window. I don't know if he would have fought and thrown women out of the elevator, instead of what a lot of… One man I read about gave up his place in the last elevator that went down to two women, and said, oh, I'll get the next one. 

There was no next one. How much Light did he bring to the world?

20:37  From Tribulation to Hope

The last part of the relationship between here and the Other Side is what happens in Tribulation, which we are in, the  aftermath of the Tribulation which goes on for a while, and Parousia. And I was going to put it here and I'm not going to. It needs its own separate podcast. 

You'll want to know this. You want to know it because it will give you great hope and I'd like you to have hope. The problem is that when you get close to God and close to Light, the horror of the world presses on you. You know it and you cannot escape it. Your prayers are powerful, everyone's prayers are powerful. Every bit of faith, every time you are afraid and you stop and you say God will take care of me whatever is going on.  It's about Him and it will not last forever. I trust you, Lord. I trust you, Jesus. I trust in the Holy Spirit that surrounds me. 

Now you don't have to think of all of this as a musical score. This is how it was given to me because at the time I was involved in the music, so this is an image that made sense to me. But know this: we come here by our own choice. We have an enormous amount of power to bring God into the world and change everything, and sooner or later, everything will be so Light, so similar to the Kingdom of God, there will hardly be a way to tell the difference. 

I can't— I think it was Peter, I'd have to look it up, who asked Jesus how will we know when that happens? How will we know when Parousia happens? And Jesus said  - oh, someday a man will forget to die. 

That's where we're going. That's what our lives mean. I'll make a more detailed recording about that, Not recording -  episode. But know that, because what's going on right now is almost overwhelmingly evil. But Light … Light is so, so much stronger. 

Okay, now I'm going to spend three days editing this and trying to make sense of it for you. The peace of Christ be with you. The wisdom of the Holy Spirit be with you and the knowing of your power that comes from the Lord, from God, from the real Reality surrounds you every day, every minute, and there's nothing ahead but love.
