Times Are Changing

The times in which we live are not ordinary times.

Everything is suddenly changing, rearranging itself. Technology leaps ahead daily, affecting the way we do things, how we communicate, our concept of life and the universe.

While an old world struggles to cling to its self-defeating patterns, the stage is set for a world as it is meant to be.

Have Faith When we here of the elevated levels of darkness cast out over G_D's creations,"it" can overwhelm us if we allow "it". Darkness will restrict the air we breath,which will then allow darkness to surround our spirit and blind us from G_D's light. This is only if "we" allow ourselves not to have faith in G_d. And remember that when darkness attempts to overwhelm the earth,it is a good sign. The design of evil was never meant to succeed over G_D's light, this angers her." Failure" she is. Reply

But the darkness of these times really are spreading over the earth so much, yet always there are "light people" too, we must not forget. I wish the whole earth of mankind were good. Reply

Where Can I Hide Even darkness is as
Light to Him
The Command "do these things so things might go well with you" everything is exposed even more with the advancement of technologies so in it all we can choose those "things" Reply

Creation is always for good Everything that is created for good can also be applied to the opposite of the purpose to which it has been created for.

When HaShem created the world, vegetation, animals and mankind, He saw it was good. Genesis 1 and 2 Reply

In the hands of man;
Quite right, Anonymous, Loveland! And the way I see it the changes are happening so quickly and they are so profound that man does not have time to correct his learned self defeating behavior developed in the past. Addiction to power, money, etc, etc, are being added to (internet addiction). We desperately hold on to these past preconceived notions thinking they were "right" in the past and so should be also "right" in the future.
But technology is creating new rights and wrongs that swamps most of us locked on doing things "right" (as defined by the past. Reply

Choices G-D allows his children to make their own choices and allows them also to learn from the after effects of their choices. Reply

in response to Brian Joseph Dallman:

To learn from them, or to suffer from them.
I have daughters who have remained unforgiving since when after their father died, (in 1991), 3 years later I married a man, who hurt me but I got out right away after 2 months, but my first daughter has never forgiven me for that, (as she was age 17) and now she is married, age 45, with 4 children whom I have never met.
It is sad that we have to suffer so much by the rejection of our children when they blame you for a relational mistake that happened years ago in our lives. Reply

thankyou this is deep and awe inspirting and reminds me that everything is created and recreating and changing with each new day we are given, even our thoughts are only temporary when we live mindfully in the now... in fact life has never felt so different and yet the same all at once as somehow generations find what is timeless and always shared seemlessly which is the equally the love that created us and the source that sustains us... namely G-ds love.... and how we all connect and interconnect through it at so many different levels and throughout many many different styles and levels of interconnecting relationships...

In the hands of man... Technological advances can be empowering at that, but it in itself does not eradicate self-defeating patterns, and if not used properly, these advances can empower self-defeating patterns all the more so, well, and even create new types of destruction unfathomable to an old world.
