THE DARK GREEN RELIGION FROM HELL
What is the prophesied image of the beast? I have long suspected that it is the Earth itself! After men walked on the moon in 1969 the New Agers were saying they now had "their image." It was an image of "the Whole Earth."
As we approach the time that prophesied events seem apparent and New Agers are becoming emboldened in their a la Shirley Maclaine "Karmageddon" prognostications against us.
I have been reporting, inter alia, on these "deep ecology" "eco-spirituality" developments since 1981. The Harry Potter movies were a form of mass initiation for impressionable children. AVATAR is obviously a form of mass initiation in "New World Religion" concepts for both adults and children.
"According to Bron Taylor, author of the new book Dark Green Religion, nature-based spirituality is not only undergoing a renaissance – it’s giving religious institutions a run for their money.
"Western society is in a dramatic shift away from monotheism, notes Dr. Taylor, professor of religion at the University of Florida. And in many cases, he says, former believers are turning to Mother Earth to fill the spiritual void.
"He cites findings that large numbers of people in Europe and the United States express “deep trust in nature as inherently spiritual or sacred.”
"The trend is obvious on the West Coast. Only 22 per cent of British Columbians attend a religious institution once a month or more, according to a 2008 poll by sociologist Reginald Bibby, compared with 38 per cent in Ontario.
"Instead, spiritual seekers are forming de facto congregations in nature’s cathedrals – mountain valleys and old-growth forests.
"Toni Pieroni, a registered clinical counsellor in Vancouver, says she discovered eco-spirituality about 15 years ago after going through a divorce. “It’s become very much part of my [spiritual] practice,” she says. “If I don’t get out and walk by the trees and by the ocean, I start to suffer.”
"In eco-spirituality workshops that she leads outside her counselling practice, Ms. Pieroni encourages people to think of the Earth as a sentient being, she says, “and to contemplate that the Earth that they’re walking on is also conscious of them.” . . . Similarly, in the movie Avatar, the blue-skinned Na’vi people worship a biological force that unifies their planet and all its life forms. The force is so tangible that the Na’vi can literally plug into it by connecting the tips of their long tails to the fronds of sacred trees. . . . On Pandora, the Na’vi people form circles to channel their world’s unifying power, notes Maureen Jack-LaCroix, an eco-spiritual facilitator and event producer known for her work on New Music West Festival and Tears Are Not Enough/LiveAid.
And in Vancouver, hundreds of people gather once a week in 40 community circles organized by Be the Change Earth Alliance, which Ms. Jack-LaCroix launched in 2008.
While the groups are open to people of all faiths, the goal is to restore a sense of connection with Earth’s life-support systems and to commit to actions that support sustainability, Ms. Jack-LaCroix explains.
“The essence of spirituality is feeling connected and not alone,” she says.
"Dr. Taylor says that dark green religion, despite its ancient pagan roots, is grounded in scientific evidence of DNA and the interrelatedness of life. “You don’t have to rely on some supposed revelation that somebody else had somewhere else in some distant time.”
"Unlike faiths that promise heaven in the afterlife, eco-spirituality calls upon adherents to treat the biosphere as paradise on earth, he explains. Figures such as Al
Gore have called environmental destruction a “spiritual crisis.”
Saying with a loud voice: Fear the Lord, and give him honour, because the hour of his judgment is come; and adore ye him, that made heaven and earth, the sea, and the fountains of waters. (Douay Rheims)Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. (KJV)
6 And I saw another angel flying through the midst of heaven, having the eternal gospel, to preach unto them that sit upon the earth, and over every nation, and tribe, and tongue, and people: 7 Saying with a loud voice: Fear the Lord, and give him honour, because the hour of his judgment is come; and adore ye him, that made heaven and earth, the sea, and the fountains of waters.
8 And another angel followed, saying: That great Babylon is fallen, is fallen; which made all nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice: If any man shall adore the beast and his image, and receive his character in his forehead, or in his hand; 10 He also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mingled with pure wine in the cup of his wrath, and shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the sight of the holy angels, and in the sight of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torments shall ascend up for ever and ever: neither have they rest day nor night, who have adored the beast, and his image, and whoever receiveth the character of his name. 12 Here is the patience of the saints, who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13 And I heard a voice from heaven, saying to me: Write: Blessed are the dead, who die in the Lord. From henceforth now, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; for their works follow them. (Douay Rheims)
And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. (King James Version)

Youngest Jordanian ambassador ever named Mediterranean Union chief
On October 27-28, 1995, Javier Solana established the Barcelona Process which was to culminate in the establishment of a Mediterranean Free Trade Zone in 2010. Over the past 14 years, I have watched it morph into these refinements:- European Mediterranean Union (2008)
- European Neighbourhood Policy (2007)

Haiti's earthquake tragedy; hospital collapses; Caribbean tsunami warning
"There shall be earthquakes in divers[e] places . . ." This was a significant one! I know immediate relief is needed and you should send contributions to trusted relief agencies. Reportedly, an important hospital collapsed. One more reason, literally, to jolt us out of complacency. Pun intended.Sunday, January 10, 2010
Barcelona Process - Club Med - New Developments - Twittered?
State of the Union - Barcelona Process TWITTERED?
The Barcelona Process is alive and well. It was recently announced that a Jordanian has been chosen to head its current incarnation: "Club Med" a/k/a "Union of the Mediterranean." Ahmed Masade is his name.
One internet development I have up to now resisted has been "twittering." That may now change after learning tonight that EU_Med is using "Twitter" as its favored communication device.
So, I will probably reluctantly use Twitter for more communications as well. I would appreciate all the expert advice you can give me here as to how to eliminate garbage from the twitter page and columns. I evidently opened a page long ago and then did not use it. Evidently others did and have posted distasteful links. A few friends also posted there. I suspect some of my enemies visited as well!
The picture there? Oh, I have identical twin cousins, Jimmy and Johnny Butler. They were born one month to the day after me. I was the first grandchild born on both sides of the family. Less than three years later there were seven on my dad's side and five on my mom's. I decided to take a fun picture from one of my computers equipped with mirror images to create "Kimmy and Connie Butler." My family is still chuckling about the spoof.
So, I will reluctantly utilize TWITTER more while keeping my serious work here on my blogspot. Feel free to use both.
Stay tuned!

A revolting Danish editorial 'Obama greater than Jesus'
I once read somewhere I can't currently recall that when Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie, was met by crowds worshipping him as God (something our nemesis "Squeakbox" still does) he cried and asked them to cease and desist -- he was NOT God! Barack Obama has told the world he is a Christian. It will be a good test of his sincerity to see how fast and emphastically he denounces this blasphemous abomination. My thanks to blog forum participant Deb for bringing this to our attention in the comments section.
