    Daily Bugle, i was there! now i am here. i had a beautiful childhood with no abuse and well supported. I actually have a comfortable life but i am willing to give it all up because i know someone i never knew before. He is more real to me than myself! I have personal proof!
    Nature is beautiful and a positive mindset is an example of soberly control, however life is deeper than psychology, and yoga; hence the reason for the world in chaos. We believe that we have the answers to everything when in fact we are controlled by external forces like guinea pigs! My dream is more than just living here, getting fat on food and money and the pleasures of life, but a life which was promised to me by one who always keeps his word!
    he has made all provision to those who believe and has even promised to send his spirit to guide us daily till the end here on earth. Note that mind control is not enough since it is in the flesh. It is a delusion!
    Seek God’s face! he is waiting.
    May his name be…

    This is about carnival as it relates to the subject. Please show DNO.
    The colors look beautiful, the festivities may seem as fun, but what did you attain after preparing for weeks…The stage was set…. this is how five minutes can determine a lifetime.
    God promised life eternal, mansions of glory, and to live with him. He downgraded to the state of man just so that we would be saved.. but nooo… we don’t want it!
    Satan has promised nothing but destruction! to suffer and die with him! We eat and drink then complain of sickness and call on God’s name! God is not a light switch! Give these things up and surrender to him and you will see the results! He is always waiting! go now! It’s not too late! Go!
    Colossians 2:8 (KJV)
    8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
    Revelation 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my…

      continuation:
      There is something that you don’t see but the very people who live among us see this when they travel in the spirit because they are responsible for these releases. While you dance, wear those masks and portray yourselves as such, those demons are activates and dance in your midst!
      you may not understand now but look closely at the pictures. Look beyond. This is not just carnival people. One day i pray that you see the truth! We celebrate carnival because of freedom from slavery huh? what gods did our ancestors know? What gods did their ancestors know? People we are sinking!
      “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land”
      My conscience is clear! I wash my hands!
      He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be…

        You see things this way only because you learnt to think this way based on past experiences especially in childhood. Your mindset determines who you are and how you live. If your beliefs hinder you from being one with nature and realizing your true nature then their is a need to realign your dreams with your inner-self. True peace is in the mind. The more you live your true path, the less others bother you for the simple reason that suffering will always happen on earth. Humans just have a clever way of putting a reason to suffering.
