Wow! I'm still reeling from all that I learned the weekend of September 29th. I'll try to make sense of this as much as I can, but please bear in mind that I haven't quite sorted it all out myself. The journey started with an invitation from a fellow minister on the cannabis churches google group. I just happened to glance over the post, and the invitation to commune with fellow ministers caught my eye. There was to be a celebration at the future site of an orthodox Ethiopian church in Atlanta, roughly 5-6 hours from our sanctuary here in Lower Alabama. I felt a strong pull to attend this event. We started out on this journey even without the necessary funds to get home. There's a leap of faith for you! We headed out on our trek on Friday and stayed at a fellow minister's home overnight in Northern Alabama. This was a chance to fellowship and gain further spiritual insight on what our mission may be. On Saturday, we headed to Atlanta. We had a Google map to get us to our destination. The minister we were meeting advised me to get some kind of white cover-up for my head, so before we arrived at the event, we stopped at a beauty supply shop and I picked up a white scarf. I was also advised to wear light colored clothing, nothing black or brown, so I wore light khaki pants and a white shirt. Since we weren't sure how we were going to make it home, we took several jars of homemade blackberry jam that I made from wild blackberries. Our intent was to sell these at the event to fund our return trip. We actually ended up giving away jam to a man, who we found out later is the Director of the church (THE director of the church!). The actual event was a celebration of Queen Eleni finding the cross of the crucifixion (Jesus's cross). Queen Eleni was directed by God to light a big bonfire and to watch where the smoke touched the ground. She was told that she would find the cross at that location. So she lit the fire, watched the smoke, followed it, and found the cross. A section of the cross still remains in the possession of this church in their motherland of Ethiopia. The celebration was pretty intense. Almost everyone was in their holiest attire, there was drum beating, dancing, chanting, and holy scriptures read in the native tongue. Then the ceremonial bonfire was lit. We all had long sticks that we lit from the original fire as we circled the bonfire. Very symbolic was the fact that we had to dip the sticks into oil in order for the sticks to catch fire. We then threw our sticks into the bonfire and continued around the fire until it burned out. WOW! You can see our pictures here>> Later, we accompanied our fellow minister, Hoama Monk to us, to the home of The Real Fat Freddy. I had no idea what was in store for me there! I wanted to speak with Freddy about the Urantia Book. I had been studying it for quite some time, and was looking forward to sharing knowledge with someone who had also been studying the book. I have found alot of truths in this book, and it has helped me immensely on my spiritual journey. Imagine my surprise when I learned that everything that was happening to me was already written about in the Urantia Book and the ancient Ethiopian Bible. What? Yes, it's true. I have become a part of these people's prophecy of things to come. Things that signal the end of times. How did this happen? Holy shit! Well, I'll try to explain it. Please bear with me, this is still a little freaky for me. Anyway, the Ethiopians are orthodox in their teachings. That means that they have not changed what was written down in the ancient times. This would be the ideal place to find out what's really true regarding the end days prophecy. So, I'm the woman who is to deliver the new children of the world. What? I can't even have kids anymore! This can be explained. All these bible stories are written in parables. The child I am to deliver is the cannabis plant, by way of the Holy Anointing Oil of Exodus. Yes, I am an anointed one. I am also a nurse, a mother, an organic gardener, a wife, and a minister of God. I know you don't believe this. It's hard for me sometimes too. But there have been way too many coincidences here. And this is not the only church with ancient prophecies. I've been researching the ancient Egyptian prophecies, and the similarities to my situation are striking. Look up Bast and see the similarities. For instance, Green Earth Ministries, I am a Cancer, cats keep showing up at my home, Light and Truth are what I teach. There's more, but even just this is enough to convince me. Convince me of what? I am convinced that I wrote my life-script before I came to this earth. I woke up and started remembering in 2003. Since then, I have been struggling to let go of wordly things and focus on my mission. My mission is to save the world. My court case is only the first piece of that. The next step is to use the publicity to get the truth out to as many people as possible. The truth is that material things are not what we should be worshipping. Only God can hold that place in our hearts. Until everyone on the planet knows the truth and chooses of their own free will whether to turn away or not, we are stuck in this limbo with the bad guys in power. Once everyone has made their own decision, only then will the shift into the New Heaven on Earth take place. Some will be in this Heaven, others will not. But it will be due to an informed free-will choice on the part of the individual. No one can make your decision for you. No matter what your government or church officials say. And the key to global awareness is the Holy Anointing Oil. This oil contains cannabis. Cannabis helps people connect with God. But it only works on those who TRULY WANT a connection. Those who only use it to get high in order to escape reality are missing the point. That's what our ministry is all about. Teaching the absolute truth about cannabis and why it's been deemed an "evil weed" by the US Government. Of course, those in power don't want everyone to be connected with God, why would they? They also don't want you to be happy, why else would they keep up the lies about this plant - the very plant that will save the world? Greed, Lust, Envy, you name it. Some say that the world's leaders are lizards underneath. I don't subscribe to this philosphy, but I do believe that once the public's eyes are opened wide to the evil ways of these leaders, they will be overthrown and put into prison as traitors. I know this is long, but dammit there's just so much to say! Thanks for being patient and letting me rant. If there is something that is not clear, please engage me in conversation. I'm still learning about all this, so if anyone has any additional information or pieces of the puzzle, please share! Still reeling from all this, Here's a really cool video!
