(Journey of Awakening - The Spiritual Gatekeepers)

December 7, 2014


Everybody has a role to play in Creation. To use an analogy, Creation is like a highway and humanity is like a vehicle on that highway. Humanity has the potential to travel great distances and experience many amazing things. However, the vehicle only travels in the direction that we choose to steer it.

Our actions could be thought of as the driver of the vehicle, and each human being could be thought of as a component of the vehicle. A vehicle is made up of thousands of unique parts. When combined together properly, these parts give the vehicle everything that it needs to run. However, if some of these components are missing, the vehicle may not run very well, or it may not run at all.

What if there were tires on a car, but it had no steering wheel? Or what if there were interior lights, but no exterior headlights? What if there was a front windshield, but there was no back window or rearview mirrors? By themselves, each component in a vehicle has great potential. However, their true potential is not fully realized until they are combined together with other unique components to form the complete vehicle.

In writing this series, I have tried to bring my own unique set of experiences, knowledge, understanding and gifts to the table. And throughout this series, I have tried to encourage others to do the same. Why is this important? To use another analogy, a puzzle does not become complete until all of the pieces are put on the table and each one is placed in its proper place. What if half of the pieces of the puzzle were put on the table and the other half remained in the box? Would we still be able to assemble the puzzle and see the complete picture? Perhaps we could take an educated guess at what the final image might be. However, the true impact and beauty of the image would not be seen or experienced until all of the pieces were combined together in their proper place.

I still have much more that I would like contribute to this puzzle. And I'd like to encourage others to contribute their own unique parts to the puzzle. However, there are some dark forces in this world that do not want humanity to become awake and aware and see the complete picture. For many years now I have been going head on against these forces. However, in doing so I have depleted all of my resources.

For the last 7 months I have been living in a Toyota Tercel with my cat. This is where I sleep, eat and where I have been making the ongoing contributions to this effort. Right now I have about ten partially completed essays that I have wanted to post, but are unable to do so due to lack of power to run the computer. There is very little sun (for solar) where I am located right now and I am unable to start the car to charge the battery due to lack of gas money. Since I can't run the car, I also have no heat. A couple of weeks ago it was around 20 degrees for a few days. Everything froze, including my hands, feet and drinking water.

The computer that I am using is one of the older netbooks. Several of the keys do not work properly which makes it a little challenging to use for writing. Since I am only able run the computer for short periods of time each week, creativity has been somewhat hampered as well. Many of the ideas that I would like to communicate, often come and go (without being fully realized) because I am unable to express them when they present themselves. In addition, I only have public access to the internet about once a week or so (for a couple of hours), so any research that I need to do is also limited.

One of the things that I have concentrated on quite a bit in this series is health, food and water. I have some ongoing health issues that I have successfully addressed in the past with natural treatments. However, due to the lack of resources and limited access to good food, I am now unable to address them properly. Previously, I made it a point to only eat real food and drink good filtered water. I still do my best to do that. However, during these last seven months, I have come to realize just how difficult that can be for some people (unless you live in an urban area and have access to sufficient resources). It shouldn't be this way. Everybody should have good access to clean uncontaminated water and real (non-GMO/un-processed) food, no matter what their income level is.

Why do I share these things? It's not to illicit sympathy. Rather, I want the readers of this series to know just how dedicated and committed that I am (and have been) to awareness, justice, truth and freedom. Soon I will be faced with the possibility of living out on the street. Obviously that will create additional issues and severely limit my ability to continue to contribute in the way that I have. I would rather it not come to that. However, no matter what happens, I will never give up doing my best to make a positive difference in this world.

How can you help? By making a donation that will help me to continue this effort. I have asked for some donations in the past, however I didn't receive any offers then. I wish I could do this without asking for donations. However, personal resources only go so far when you are fighting a battle such as this on multiple fronts. Therefore, I thought that I would try and reach out once again to the readers of this series to see if anyone could help. Anything, that you might be able to contribute would be greatly appreciated.

Below are a few ways that you can contribute:

1. A donation sent via Paypal: 

  • Click on "Send and Request" in your Paypal account (top of the page) and choose "Send Money to Friends and Family" or "Pay for Goods and Services". Then enter my Paypal user name bobreynolds24@gmail.com as the recipient and the amount that you wish to donate.
     

2. A donation sent via regular mail (please contact me at bobreynolds24@gmail.com for the mailing address).
 

3. A donation of new or used items (please contact me at bobreynolds24@gmail.com for the mailing address):

  • Small propane catalytic camping heater (new or used). This would really help (it's pretty cold where I am right now up in the mountains)
  • Windows 8.1 Tablet (new or used). The computer that I am currently using is a netbook. However, several of the keys don't work and the battery doesn't hold a charge any longer. What would work well for writing in my current situation is something with a long battery life. Something like a Windows 8.1 tablet (I've seen them as low as $99) or one the new netbooks (i.e. HP Stream 11, Nextbook 10.1, or similar) would be great as they typically get around 5-6 hours of battery life and only require a small amount of power to recharge the battery

 

Thank you
