to sit and be still with yourself. <SPAN

physiologically-based, shall we say smoking or drinking--something that has a

</SPAN>We did have the Lucifer Rebellion--it actually happened, and the human

and values which, by historic times, were well developed.<SPAN

still survive, rebuilt, in the industrial age, deep in the
political/social/economic systems of today.<SPAN

Lucifer Rebellion several years ago, these elites are ensconced in all sorts of
powerful positions and continue to manage and manipulate every aspect of our

at least this is my perception--they planned and enabled it to happen, then

these elites control much of the technology.<SPAN

spiritual perception and humility.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

elevation of this only partial aspect of a person’s being to supremacy was and

you are, as well as Lucifer was, spiritual beings, there is a fundamental flaw
in this identification, in this partiality, elevating the part over the whole
personality, spirit, and soul--co-authored by a fragment of God himself.<SPAN
