Voices from the Coast:
The Power and Price of One

by Vicki Merbler, MA Ed.

A kind person pointed out more than once, “The world is not always as it seems to be, remember that.” And after Bible school studies at an early age, it was easier to meditate quietly on the lessons at home where more peace could be acquired than what was usually experienced at church. While observing adult's behavior as a child being led into a strict religious doctrine, the lessons of how to live righteous through God's word were not always congruent with the leaders of the congregation. The message was still, “Do as I say, but not as I do.” I think it may still apply today but on a wider spectrum of every aspect of our lives.

In the 21st century, let us all please turn to page 666 and dance to the “Mephisto Waltz,” or just sing something to the tune of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” Therein lies in the struggle for one world power creating one world religion, and dominance by deception could trick us all. Most of us want all faiths concentrating on the similarities rather than differences.

A memory of the beautiful pews in the church and the scents of the old wood have lingered throughout my life. The only awkwardness of this fact was they began to get very hard after two hours. For the next lesson that will have impact on all souls, I am praying for a cushion this time around. Not just one for the bones that will become more brittle as this is going to be one experience that will probably outlast my life expectancy. I pray for a cushion as light as air, one that makes it easier to float into perfect bliss towards the real light of the Kingdom of God. I pray for understanding amidst the chaos in the world created by our human nature that is in constant battle of itself.

A New World Religion comprised of all the religions in history cannot put this one together, not really. The power brokers, though, can. If one is willing to participate because the need is definitely there, one must be willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice. Does one want an authentic heaven or a counterfeit heaven? Which do you prefer: your true heaven or a dose of dope? I think it is all confused again. Faith is a mysterious concept that humans have too often misused to murder one another since the beginning of time.

We are living with the threat of nuclear annihilation, the so-called Global War on Terror, and a sundry of crises covering the globe while the real task masters at the top of the Global Power Pyramid busy themselves with plans for world dominance through economy, politics, and, yes, religion. Can the world be a better place because of it as people are not expressing contentment with the state of the nation domestically and internationally? Research the alternative media, especially websites that are read and watched by growing millions. While thinking about that, here is another thought. The news now streaming freely across the internet may not always be available to us. As Americans we heard our Commander in Chief finally admit that the weapons of mass destruction which he used to justify the assault on Iraq were never really there. So it's no surprise that the public is steadily losing confidence in the once-vaunted mainstream media.

For example, if I decide I really do not believe in having a chip implanted under my skin for the purpose of being even more controlled, and I do not believe in the New World Religion the global elites would like to impose on us, will the NSA take a page from the defunct Soviet Union and put me in a “re-education camp?” We know what happens in places like these. Would I then just wait for a natural man-made disaster to wipe me out because it has already been decided among the Bilderbergers, the Council on Foreign Relations, Skull and Bones, that the world is too populated? And there is certainly some “final solution” somewhere being made to take care of that one “small” problem.

In all of this, faith heightens my awareness. The truth will prevail and, as the Bible states, “The meek shall inherit the earth.” Will the earth be as we know it today or be reborn with new life, new love, and genuine world peace? All it takes is faith as small as a mustard seed, another reminder from one of the great teachers who walked this earth. Keep the name inside your heart so that you may always know the spirit of pure love lives within each of us.
