Part 1  

Part 2  

Part 3  

Hi, I hope each of you had a great holiday time and the New Year is starting out with a good jolt. Those of you that did not clean out your closet prior to the first have the first 6 weeks of this year to get it done. I know that many of you have contacted me about things falling in these first few weeks, but pick it up and get it done for a better 2008. We are trying something new for the prophecy and it is being posted so you can down load it and actually hear Ethan’s words of wisdom. Hope you enjoy this and if so we will possibly do some more in the future.  Let us know how you like it. The best of 2008 and know it is a new beginning, so get off to a good start.

Love and Blessings to all of you Marilyn

I do not know this time if Ethan or I set the pace on this subject.  Having heard of the 13 year old who killed the 15 year old at a Pony League game, I have really been mulling this over.  This form of harassment among the kids today that leads to violence is a sad commentary for our times.  At a time when we have so much and so many are able to participate, it seems to be wasted.  From what I have been able to understand about this particular incident, the older boy had officiated at the game where the younger was the losing pitcher.  The older one who had held a position of authority during the game proceeded to taunt and tease the younger about the poor pitching he had done.  If these are the facts, then the older boy had not been taught how to handle the position of authority. Not knowing the background of both participants it is difficult to totally comprehend, but the 13 year old reacted in a way he must have thought was appropriate. I doubt he thought the blow will cause death, making a choice without the ability/experience to foresee the results. The older boy did not under any circumstances deserve to die, but lets learn from this and impress on those in authority how fragile people are and not to overstep the boundaries.  Why have we not taught those who are stronger that they gain nothing by making less of others?

I think it would be great to see some kids in a field in ragged play clothes, mismatched equipment, tattered balls, scraped in the dirt bases and lots of laughter.  Will those days ever be again, when play is not filled with performance jitters and pressure?  Have we adults lived so long with the stress in our lives we insist the youth begin early training?  Team spirit only works when the team wins.  When the team looses, there is always a scapegoat that will bear the brunt of everyone’s disappointment.

I like Ethan’s suggestion, to appreciate the opponent for the opportunity to experience.  I know I am not a sports fan and know little about most games. I did use to go to wrestling matches and cheer for bodily harm.  It was great to release all the tension I had from being a single mom and dealing with the world at large.  Thank goodness I “outgrew” that phase of my life. I do find now that if I am stressed a really action packed movie with a humorous overtone will do the same thing. If it is really bad then I need a bloody killing machine like Segal or VanDamme.  I always want the ones where supposed good wins over evil. I see these less and less.

The young today face so many places where they are vulnerable that use to be havens. Is there no place they can find peace with out the stress of competition with their fellow beings.  I do believe that competition has brought us to a place of unthinkable discovery, but it has also pitted one against the other not against the elements.  When exploring led to competition against nature to survive and bring back the treasure, humans worked together. Now with all the equipment man can go alone without need of others, thus the joy of the journey is unshared and uncelebrated.  Just the act of driving cattle to market required a team that worked together for a common goal, and everyone had a different job to do. During this time period each was equally valuable to that final goal. Now it seems each must prove their value is greater than another’s.

If you believe one has more value than another then of course you compete with everyone to be top value being. To be the best you can be without doing harm to another makes everyone valuable and equal. I suggest you have a nice talk with the young people in your life and assure them of their value in your life and theirs. Help them see the differences in beings and to appreciate the part each plays in life.  The beggar as valuable as the bank president in the oneness.
