The Imminent War and (This) End of the World

In order to understand that which is written below I suggest to the readers to read the Dead Sea Scroll yclept "The War of The Children of Light And The Children of Darkness". In reading that scroll please bear in mind that there have been many "ends of the world". To those who experience each one it is the end of the world, of course. We have entered into the forty year period that will culminate in a vastly higher level of holiness. The following describes the process and how it will be subjectively experienced. Explanation is given as to how to spiritually survive the war.

It is my fervent prayer and desire that as many Souls are ready for
the sudden upsurge in consciousness which is imminent. It will be a
sudden catapulting to another level of awareness for those who have
prayed for its arrival and have done their best to prepare themselves
*morally* for it, that is not to say that they partook in all sorts
of "spiritual" exercises, most of which are fritterings away of
precious energy. As Rabbi Nachman says (not I'm not a Breslover
Chassidiste, but Rabbi Nachman is right on so much of the time): "We
are rewarded for the effort, not the accomplishment." We needn't
have perfected ourselves to be granted perfection, we need only have
done *our own* level best to better ourselves morally to be granted
the ultimate gift.

The very same events appear as dread terror and destruction to those
whose eyes are not pure. In the war which is imminenet they will see
explosions, battles, death, pestilence, destruction, torment - but
those who are pure of Spirit and body will see the assumption of the
Holy Ones into Heaven body and Soul together. This has been assured
to us and it is already upon us. As a youngster I set myself to
learning the secret of suffering. The things I write here are the
things I have been shown to know as I was taken through the ages and
shown the inner truth of what seemed to be torments to those who saw
with their eyes of flesh, but not the eyes of their Soul. I was also
shown what torments look like to the Soul. The Hebrew word for agony
is yagon, the Hebrew word for ecstasy is inug. Can you see they are
one and the same? They are indeed one and the same, but how they are
experienced is determined by our moral level and our attachment to
God. I want you to know the ecstasy of being completely assumed into
God, my beloved ones. I wan't to save as many as I can from the agony
of being consumed in the flames and explosions which the eyes of
flesh will see.

Rabbi Nachman said the desire for holiness is effective even ten
degrees back of desire for it. In other words not only is it enough
to say with all ones Being "I want to be Godly", it is even enough to
say: " I want to want to want to....be Godly" ten times back. That is
all it takes, it is that easy.

What is "The Right Path"? We, as human beings, are always likely to
err if we depend on our own minds and own sets of values. The paths
to be followed are the ways given to the Sages and Holy Ones of our
respective Peoples. They have been entrusted with the universal
Truth, as it is fine-tuned to the specific
spiritual/physical/moral "wavelength" of our People and our People's
mega-purpose in creation. If one bears those teachings in mind always
and pays the Sages and Holy Ones their due respect *and* is in a
constant state of prayer to God that ones actions will be for the
sake of Holiness, they will be made so. One cannot, I repeat, cannot
err if one is in a constant state of prayer that God will direct
one's every actions. Even if a "mistake" is made, God will right it
and the effects will be perfect. We need to nullify ourselves to God
in order to do this we, as human beings, cannot acheive this level on
our own.

We must become utterly helpless before God, renouncing every other
hope and comfort and certainly our every attempt at control as Laura
so beautifully wrote. We must come to God naked and without any
intermediary whatsoever. We can never do this with any person, idol,
ideal, theory or philosophy. In the face of those who would direct
our Spirit we must be warriors and fiercely protective. Before God,
in sharp contrast, we must be absolutely broken and helpless. That is
why I call for the weak ones, I know they are the strongest ones of
all and their strenght is absolute and eternal. They are invincible.
You see, to the one who makes him/herself helpless before God all of
the powers of Heaven and hell are put at their disposal. The weakest
ones are the most awesome of all and it is they who will be mustered
in the war which is about to come.
