No One Really Knows What Is Going On

4/5/2020

I confess - I don't really know what's going on, at least not at the level of specifics; and I am convinced no one else does either. Having spent a considerable amount of time over the past few weeks trying to piece together my own intuitions, the observations of others, and the tidal wave of information saturating the media, I have managed to reach the following conclusion - everyone has lost the plot (assuming there was ever an overarching, cohesive plot to begin with).​

Regarding what has already transpired, I am certain only of the following:
  • the spiritual war has become a hot war; one that has been initiated by and is being fueled by evil
  • evil has forced these events upon the world, which means the events themselves are not fundamentally Good.
  • Good can arise from current events, but that still does not make what is happening now fundamentally Good
  • one goal of the spiritual war was the spiritual devastation of churches in the West
  • another goal of the spiritual war involves the constricting or collapsing of economic and financial systems in a manner that will inevitably affect everyone
  • power grabs and the expansion of Ahrimanic control are happening nearly everywhere

This much appears obvious, at least to me, but when it comes to specifics, all I see is a storm of chaos. A giant ball of confusion. The second something begins to make sense, something else comes along and dissolves it all into nonsense. 

The official narratives lack cohesion and clarity. The unofficial narratives often reveal more about their authors than they do about the current situation. There are as many expert opinions as there are experts. The conspiracy theories all contain massive, gaping holes of incoherence. Everything has been reduced to wild speculation or blatant dishonesty. 

Whatever unified, overarching plot the Establishment may have been following - assuming there ever was one - appears to have unravelled. The various competing factions within the Establishment appear to be at each other's throats. Disjointedness and desperation are evident both in their words and their deeds. 

The reigning confusion could be purposive, at least at the supernatural level. Perhaps the demonic powers are torturing their servants through various tricks and betrayals. Or perhaps they are only allowing their servants to proceed on a need-to-know basis. Whatever the case, the demonic powers appear to be keeping their henchmen in the dark intentionally.

On the other hand, the reigning confusion could be a sign of possible conflicts among the demons themselves. Or perhaps a sign of Good counteracting and thwarting evil at the supernatural level - slowing things down, buying time.

As I said at the beginning of this post, I really don't know. And there is no consolation in pointing out that no one else really knows. Everything and everyone is shrouded in fog.
 
Yet this confusion has led to some clarity - at least for me. The greater the disorientation in the world, the greater my own personal orientation toward the Divine. At the moment, I very much believe that the Divine does not want me to understand the details of what is currently transpiring - not because the Divine wants to keep me in the dark, but rather that the Divine yearns to defend from wading too deep into the darkness.

As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, I believe current events were initiated by evil and are being driven primarily by evil. The chaos and complexity of nearly everything happening now are hallmarks of evil. Unlike the demonic powers that seem intent on drowning everyone in chaos and complexity, I believe the Divine wishes to shield us from the chaos and complexity. Not out of any wish to keep us in ignorance, but out of understanding that knowing specifics right now might do more harm than good, at least at the spiritual level. An underlying understanding of the big picture is more important than comprehending the details. 

I suppose this is where hope, faith, and love come into the picture. I have hope the Divine will ultimately prevail; I have faith the Divine will help me understand all I need to understand; and I know the Divine will do this from a position of love. 

I really don't know what's going on, but I have faith that I will know what I need to know when I need to know it. On top of that, I am convinced I know everything I need to know right now.

"At the moment, I very much believe that the Divine does not want me to understand the details of what is currently transpiring - not because the Divine wants to keep me in the dark, but rather that the Divine yearns to defend from wading too deep into the darkness."

That's very good; it convinced me as soon as I read it.

"I have hope the Divine will ultimately prevail;" I do too, but not overall, in this world, in terms of conditions of peace, prosperity etc. I do not have any such expectation. The crisis has simplified down to the hope and faith that the divine Will prevail in the context of eternity, and for those who want what God wants.

But the recent global era, in this mortal life, on this earth, may well be finished already; and what remains may be much less population and overall much worse in average physical and moral conditions - and all that remains is for things to proceed to the conclusion.

@ Bruce - As I was walking with my son this afternoon, I noticed something peculiar. There were barely any airplanes or contrails in the sky. I live about 80 kilometers from Vienna, about 50 from Bratislava, and 200 from Budapest. On any given day before the lockdown crisis, the sky was crisscrossed with contrails and filled with planes. Today I noticed only two planes and no vapor trails at all. Only blueness.

Perhaps an early indicator that our global era has drawn to a close.

Francis:
The chemtrail phenomenon is very real. Contrails did not leave long, smokey trails that lasted for hours in my youth. I have also seen planes in the exact same sky leave either a contrail (which dissipates rapidly), or a chemtrail/geo-engineering trail. In the same sky!
I've noticed that there are many fewer contrails/chemtrails recently here, also. The skies are getting bluer, and remind me more of the skies of my youth. When blue skies were common.
That is a great blessing.

The other possibility for why the shape of events is not clear:

Going through this ‘blind’ and making sense of events in the moment, as they impose on our lives, is exactly the learning experience most people are meant to have from this. Perhaps some will learn to exercise their discernment in an unfamiliar situation; perhaps others will come to change their minds this way and no other. Regardless, knowing the score ahead of time seems to diminish the value of living through this particular story.

That's a good point, Serhei. I get that feeling as well.
