It's so nice to find you too. I graduated from USC way back in 1979. Biology degree, environmental biology was my interest so some grad school but a car crash ended that. I've been following the envrionemtnal news tho for years and years. Watched the slow unfolding of the destruction over the are so many ppl who are just fed up with it and a considerable movement is growing to stop it, look at the 350 org huge meeting in New York and several other countries...it was millions of ppl turning out to say " stop!" We only have one planet. Corporate greed cannot destroy it. So ...take some heart as its happening. Albeit slowly, it's happening. New technology too is coming onboard faster and faster. Solar is becoming widespread. Some cities are closing the downtown to all cars and converting to bikes only, or...charging a fee to drive durin those hours. When I was in college my mom died and her friend gave me a book, Raymond Moody's life after life. You might have heard of it. He's a Dr who saw so many of the same story after ppl were dead but then came back. It was so interesting I've read every book on that for all these about ten years ago, I died. Didn't see the white light and all that, but did have an out of body experience, was floating like a kits with a string or cord attached to my two little kids. And...was in ( this sounds crazy) but we don't have it here...like trying to describe what diving into a pool of water to someone who has never had water ever....how it feels etc we'd be hard to explain, right.. We'll...this was peace. But not like what you and I call peace. This was tangible, like water. Then I was prayed for, and the prayers were a force...and it pulled me back into my body. So...now I find some other ppl on you tube. I can't send a link as an iPad won't even see the address to copy it, but go watch Bruce van nada 's original testimony. It's an hour, but I'm saying it will give you a different perspective on whats going down on the planet . The spirit world is real. My friend few in Wisconsin and his friend went to see Bruce speak and after they had a prayer thing, where ppl who had prayer needs were prayed for. She had a leg two inches shorter all her life, all kinds of problems from that. She felt it grow our right when he prayed, said it was so weird. Then l..if you like that, watch Dr Mary Neal, the one where she's in a green dress . It's also an hour. She died in a kayak accident, and in the conversations she is told her son ( 18 or so at the time) his work on earth was almost done, and he would be returning home...and he did too. He died in a year or so. She's a neurosurgeon in Jackson hole Wyoming. Her book is worth reading. See we are all here for a purpose, even if we don't know what our purpose is, we are sent her to do it. You have a purpose...it might be setting the example for your community ( if he/ she can ride a bike and be vegan so can I....it's doable). ThE Torah code has some stuff on the warming too. How it will get hot and eventually lots of ppl will ask God for help and he will bring relief. Did you read the bible code? you're busy, but can you take an hour and watch what I'm talking about? When you see it....you'll be ok. Also, Natalie Sudman, watch her onyoutube. best interviews is with Jeff Olson. her book, " the application of impossible things" . Just get it....really. ($12)
